We have been wanting to do another episode with Jason Dupree ever since he started carrying North American OCR and hybrid live streams on his back! We may be a bit bias because we have been friends with Jason for many years now but we don't believe he gets half of the credit that he deserves for what he does for both sports.   We discuss how he started live streaming these sports, how much money we are making/losing from this pursuit, how you can help support the live stream, his rebranded OCR Tech Talk, getting ahead of burnout, a near death experience with a tree on the way back from covering Spartan Blue Mountain, and much more!

Interview with Brett Marsh, President & CEO of Spartan MetalsRecording date: 16th October 2025Spartan Metals Corp has emerged as a focused player in the critical minerals sector with its Eagle project in Nevada, a past-producing district that encompasses two historic tungsten mines and a high-grade copper-silver operation. The company's strategic approach centers on reviving domestic tungsten production at a time when the United States faces near-total import dependence for this defense-critical metal.CEO Brett Marsh, bringing 25 years of geology experience across major mining companies and junior explorers, has deliberately structured Spartan around tungsten development despite the presence of valuable polymetallic mineralization on the property. The company's stock symbol 'W' reflects this unwavering focus on what Marsh describes as the cornerstone commodity driving the venture.The Tungstonia deposit presents compelling characteristics for modern exploration. Historic mining during World War II and earlier periods produced grades between 0.6% and 0.9% tungsten trioxide, with operations extending only to approximately 75 meters depth. Recent work reveals that veins mined over 700 meters of strike length actually extend to nearly 2 kilometers, suggesting substantial depth potential that previous operators never tested.An immediate catalyst exists in the form of 10,000 tons of historic tailings grading 0.15% tungsten trioxide. Drilling commenced October 20th to establish tonnage, grade distribution, and metallurgical characteristics, with Marsh indicating the company will likely partner with entities possessing downstream processing capability for monetization rather than developing standalone infrastructure.Spartan's recent $2.25 million financing fully funds a comprehensive Phase 1 exploration program including surface mapping, soil geochemistry, geophysical surveys, and 3D geological modeling ahead of maiden drilling tentatively scheduled for early spring 2026. The company's systematic approach to validating century-old data through modern exploration techniques has attracted attention from both investors and government entities interested in reshoring strategic mineral supply chains. With tungsten classified as critical by the U.S. government and China controlling approximately 80% of global supply, Spartan's timing aligns with heightened policy support for domestic production alternatives.Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

In a male-dominated industry that often rewards polish over honesty, Amber Romando shows up with zero filters and total heart. From her beginnings as a dispatcher at UPS to becoming COO of Spartan Logistics and President of CSCMP Chicago Roundtable, Amber has carved out a career defined by grit, grace, and guts. In this conversation with host Jenni Ruiz, Amber opens up about betting on herself before LinkedIn even existed, the mentors who changed her life, and how she learned to turn tragedy into legacy. She talks candidly about what it means to be a woman navigating conferences, boardrooms, and truck yards—and why she refuses to play small or play nice when the stakes are high. This is a masterclass in showing up fully, leading with empathy, and staying authentic no matter who's in the room. Whether you're a logistics veteran or just someone trying to find your footing in a tough industry, Amber's story will make you laugh, nod, and maybe even take a few notes. Authenticity. Advocacy. No apologies. Amber's got all three—and she's using them to change the game. -- Disclaimer: All views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of Transfix, Inc. or any parent companies or affiliates or the companies with which the participants are affiliated, and may have been previously disseminated by them.

Munaf Manji and SleepyJ talk NFL Week 7 player props. Munaf Manji hosts RJ Bell's Dream Preview Week 7 Props episode with Sleepy J, recapping the Bengals-Steelers Thursday night shootout and Joe Flacco's resurgence before diving into their best player props. Both agree on quarterback Jaden Daniels over 1.5 passing touchdowns at -120 against Dallas, citing the Cowboys' busted coverages and a 54.5 total that implies heavy scoring. Sleepy's running back prop is Bijan Robinson over 121.5 rushing and receiving yards versus the 49ers, expecting a huge game with linebacker Fred Warner sidelined. Munaf counters with Quinshon Judkins over 85.5 rushing yards versus Miami, predicting a ground-heavy game due to bad weather and the Dolphins' porous run defense. For wide receivers, Sleepy likes Courtland Sutton over 56.5 receiving yards, noting his consistent target share and the Giants' tendency to surrender explosive plays. Munaf takes Jackson Smith-Njigba longest reception over 26.5 yards versus Houston, trusting his knack for separation and the Texans' vulnerable secondary. Sleepy's tight end play is Jets' Mason Taylor over 41.5 receiving yards against Carolina, projecting volume with Garrett Wilson likely out and the Panthers ranking worst versus tight ends. Munaf mirrors the logic with Buccaneers' Cade Otton over 41.5 yards versus Detroit, expecting elevated usage amid injuries to Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. Touchdown props: Sleepy backs Saquon Barkley (-115) to score as the Eagles return to a run-first identity; Munaf picks Washington's Jakorian Merritt (-125) to find the end zone versus Dallas and sprinkles on CeeDee Lamb (+115) on the other side. Their agreed best bet: Texans QB CJ Stroud over 223.5 passing yards Monday night against Seattle, supported by recent trends showing QBs regularly topping this number versus the Seahawks, Seattle's strong run defense forcing Houston to throw, and injuries in Seattle's secondary. Sleepy notes Stroud's protection has improved, making Houston's passing attack viable. Both expect the Texans to stay competitive behind Stroud's arm. They wrap by promoting Pregame.com's coupon code “PROPS20” for $20 off a month of football all-access, highlighting hot streaks from Fezzik, Spartan, GoodFella, and others.

A quick Target trip later we were mostly ready to take on the event at 6,000 feet.  It was a fun  event fueled by great music and it was also for a great cause with it supporting the American Lung Association in Colorado!

“THIS… IS… EPISODE 300!” Join Ian, Liam, Megs & Kev as we hit a huge milestone with our 300th episode by reviewing Zack Snyder's visually explosive, slow-motion-soaked epic 300 (2006). Four hosts, six-packs optional, and absolutely no capes required — though Kev may or may not have shown up in one. This week we discuss: 300 episodes strong — how did we get here, and who yelled the loudest doing it? How 300 redefined the look of early-2000s cinema and became the blueprint for a decade of digital epics. Is 300 the natural endpoint of a cinematic obsession with masculinity that began with Braveheart and Gladiator? Just exactly how much does this movie borrow from these films and which elements does it outright steal How the film balances mythic masculinity with questionable historical accuracy — and does it matter? Megs is here to give us some historically accurate statements on the battle of Thermopylae We've got a classic BFE taste test of a product you won't believe Several people reach out to congratulate us and some familiar voices show up to toast with us  Which one of us would make the best Spartan, and which one would be sent to tell the story? The surprising cultural impact of “This is Sparta!” — and which line from the movie we've all been yelling at each other for days. Ian breaks down the film's visual language and pacing — why Snyder's comic-book literalism both elevates and limits the story. And finally, whether 300 is the Best Film Ever—or just the most gloriously sweaty milestone we could've picked.

Mike'l wraps up Spartan talk and looks ahead to Maryland. Talk to you next Sunday!

The complicated legacy of Pausanias, Spartan regent and commander at Plataea, reveals the razor-thin line between military glory and personal disgrace. When Persian forces under Mardonius threatened Greek freedom in 479 BC, it was Pausanias who stood at the forefront of the Hellenic coalition—a complex alliance of city-states with competing interests and traditions. His story offers a fascinating glimpse into the burdens of command during ancient warfare's most decisive moments.Standing as guardian of Sparta's royal legacy after Leonidas' heroic fall at Thermopylae, Pausanias embodied the Spartan military ethos: disciplined, patient, and tactically conservative. These qualities proved crucial during the tense weeks before battle, as he resisted pressure from more aggressive allies, particularly the Athenians, who pushed for immediate engagement. His calculated restraint preserved the coalition's strength until conditions favored decisive action.The battle itself began with chaos—a nighttime repositioning gone wrong left Greek forces scattered across the plain. When Mardonius seized this opportunity to attack, Pausanias demonstrated remarkable composure under intense Persian assault. Holding firm as arrows darkened the sky, he waited for the perfect moment to order the charge that would ultimately break the Persian line and claim Mardonius' life. This victory marked the definitive end of Persian ambitions on Greek soil.Yet Pausanias' triumph contained the seeds of his undoing. Leading subsequent campaigns in the Aegean, he began adopting Persian customs and displaying an arrogance that alarmed both allies and fellow Spartans. His trajectory from disciplined commander to suspected traitor raises profound questions about how success affects character. Can the same qualities that bring victory in war—decisiveness, authority, self-confidence—become dangerous liabilities in peace? The paradox of Pausanias continues to fascinate: how could the savior of Greece transform so quickly into a figure his own people came to distrust?Whether you're fascinated by ancient military tactics, the psychology of leadership, or the cultural tensions of the Greek world, Pausanias' story offers remarkable insights into how even history's greatest victories can cast long, complicated shadows over those who achieve them.

Michigan State University President Kevin Guskiewicz delivered his 2025 State of the University address at the faculty investiture on September 30, 2025.SUMMARY KEYWORDSState of the University, new professors, leadership initiatives, enrollment record, US News rankings, federal policy changes, Jennison fund, budget adjustments, comprehensive campaign, experiential learning, strategic plan, One Health, research innovation, community partnerships, athletics.SPEAKERSSpeaker 1 00:00State of the University. Speaker 1  00:19So good morning again, and congratulations once again. I think they deserve another round of applause to our 2025, newly endowed professors and chairs. Your excellence truly elevates the capacity of our university to drive our work toward achieving our aspirations as a leading global public research university, and thanks to all my Spartan colleagues for joining us today, including several of our Board of Trustees members one year ago, almost to the day at my presidential investiture here at Wharton Center, I shared a Vision for Michigan State University, not just my own, but one shaped by conversations and collaborations with so many people around our campus and around the community and many of you who are here today together, we outlined big, bold goals, making Michigan State University the most inclusive, welcoming and safe environment it can be tackling grand societal challenges head on, and transforming Michigan State University into a truly next generation University. We also launched several leadership initiatives aimed at achieving those goals, and today, I'm excited to share the progress that we've made and a glimpse of what's ahead. Let's start with some great news, and there's so much that we could talk about and celebrate today, but I want to touch on a few things. First, we entered the new academic year, enrolling more undergraduate students than ever before in our 170 year history of Michigan State University, it's clear that students and families place their trust in us to provide an education that is practical, exceptional and accessible. Students come to us from 139 countries, all 50 states, and all 83 counties across the state of Michigan, we remain the top choice for in state students, with over 8200 Michiganders as part of this new class. And that's why I say that we are Michigan's State University and over 600 highly achieving incoming students join the Honors College, 30 of whom represent our inaugural class of the Williams scholars. 02:52Second, some good news from US News and World Report Speaker 1  02:58US News and World Report rankings just placed six of our undergraduate programs among the nation's top 25 two more than last year. Supply Chain Management ranked number one for 15 consecutive years. Service Learning and Education Abroad ranked number one among public universities, learning communities ranked number two nationally, and the list you could go on and on and on, but there's a lot to celebrate with regard to the incredible academic achievements and opportunities provided through our undergraduate and graduate students here at MSU. And I want to offer a huge congratulations to the faculty and staff who make these programs run, you know, on a daily basis, and, more importantly, to shine on a daily basis. So we're grateful for all that you do. However, not all developments this past year have been easy. Everyone here knows that federal policy changes have disrupted our operations and impacted our core mission of teaching, research and outreach. 04:05But Spartans don't back down. Speaker 1  04:09We mobilize teams to respond swiftly, to protect our research, support our people and continue serving the public, a responsibility that we hold and take very seriously as a leading global public research university, as we always have and will continue to do, I've taken our message to Washington DC and invited lawmakers here to see firsthand the value we provide through research, education and outreach. We've also taken action here at home, through the Jennison fund, we're investing $5 million per year for three years to support affected research programs. Just last week, we notified 37 recipients of this funding, and their work is nothing short of inspiring agricultural economist kajil Galati will be able to pivot from her international work in food safety and security toward applications in the United States, including examining lead testing policies on children's health and educational outcomes. The history department's Professor Walter Hawthorne can complete data integration, supporting scholarly and public access to the names and stories of more than 33,000 historically enslaved individuals on the unique MSU based enslaved.org platform. And graduate student Melina Ortez can continue preparing for a research for a career in research, a cancer research. Jennison funding will support 24 graduate students and restore our fellowships, allowing our continued education of the next generation of scholars and leaders. This is what it means to live our mission, to invest in people, knowledge and purpose. I want to thank all those in the offices and on the rapid response teams analyzing each new mandate and recommending ways to mitigate the disruption to our operations and our people. We will stay true to our Spartan mission and our Spartan values. Not all of our challenges stem from external factors, and I acknowledge the anxiety around our internal budget adjustments, I want to salute the careful work our colleges and administrative units have done to help build a secure, sustainable future for MSU. Together, as one team, we've taken steps to ensure our financial health for the long term. And let me be clear, as I said several times this past year, MSU is not in a financial crisis, but we are navigating a complex landscape and making tough, proactive decisions right now to stay strong. Thanks to our community's hard work, we've maintained the lowest tuition increase among Michigan's public universities over the past decade. We've increased University funded financial aid, and we've protected essential programs while aligning resources with strategic initiatives. 07:33And we're not slowing down. Speaker 1  07:35We're moving forward together as one team with a clearer understanding of who we are and who we can become. 07:46So as I promised, let's talk apples. Speaker 1  07:51Yes, it's harvest season, and Michigan is the nation's second largest apple producer. And that matters because it connects directly to our roots and our role in supporting Michigan's economy and agriculture. I look back at our visit to the Martinez farm in Conklin during our inaugural Spartan bus tour last fall, and I'm proud to know that Michigan's 700 have a reliable partner in Michigan State University, and we saw that firsthand on that bus tour, the training in agricultural and management practices that we offer to farmers such as Paulina Martinez and his team provide the knowledge to Ensure Michigan needs 08:39in apple production, Speaker 1  08:42the Spartan bus store was one of the leadership initiatives that I announced last year.

On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham, Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple-Double") and intern Riley Sager are back in studio breaking down the Trojans 45-31 victory over Michigan State late Saturday night in the Coliseum. It looked like USC had put the game away but the Spartans, in large part to a series of SC mistakes, clawed their way back in the third quarter cutting the lead to just 7 points. At that point quarterback Jayden Maiava and the rest of the offense took over and created some much needed separation, thwarting any potential MSU miracle comeback. Through four games the offense has been elite with no turnovers for Maiava and only four punts on the season, one of which was garbage time in the final seconds of the Michigan State victory. USC is first in total offense at 584 yards per game, first in points per game at 52.5, 1st in points per play, 1st in yards per play at 9.1, 4th in nation with 7.1 yards per rush and 4th with 11.9 yards per pass attempt. It has been a different story on the defensive side of the ball, with some marked improvements over last season but also some major concerns. The front seven is getting after it, forcing a lot of negative plays and pressure on the opposing quarterbacks. However, the secondary is struggling with multiple busted coverages each game including two that turned into Spartan touchdowns on Saturday. The penalties have also derailed some of the better defensive efforts, including four flags on one MSU drive that turned a punt where USC got the ball back into a Michigan State touchdown. The crew talks about all of that and everything else they saw in the Coliseum and what their initial thoughts are heading into a tough road test against No. 23 Illinois.
