Michigan State fans have had enough; the Spartan faithful desire head coach Jonathan Smith to be fired. I back up why the MSU fans deserve for that to happen. Unfortunately, I have some bad news to share with why that's going to cost the Spartans beyond the buyout.Michigan State's roster will likely be raided by other schools. Plus, Nick Marsh will command serious money if he enters the Transfer Portal. That's just the start. So, will MSU get rid of Smith? Time to discuss what happens regardless of Smith keeping his job or not.@fbscout_florida On X @LO_ThePortal TikTok @lockedontheportalSupport us by supporting our sponsors!DoorDashWith DoorDash Streaks, you save every Saturday you order — stack it up all season and you could save up to $250.

Savage Race reportedly had their best turn out to a race in the past 5 years!  The elite side had a pretty great turn out with an increased payout at the event and when I saw that Tyler Veerman won, I knew that I wanted to have him on the show again! We first met and interviewed him after he won the 15K at OCRWC, had dinner with him in Palmerton after the 3K, and have crossed paths with him at WTM a few times and he has always seemed like a nice guy. We talk about him living in Colorado, how his Savage race win went, what he thinks went wrong at the recent Spartan Super World Championships where he DNFed, progress made across consecutive Pike's Peak races, and much more!

What if the only way to build unshakable success is to suffer for it every single day? As part of the “Road to the Summit”, a special series ramping up to the 2025 Game Changers Summit this November 12–13, we're revisiting some of the most powerful conversations ever featured at our events. In this encore episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, we're throwing it back to the 2023 Game Changers Summit, where Joe De Sena, founder and CEO of Spartan Race, took the stage to unpack what it truly takes to lead with grit, persistence, and purpose.   From cleaning pools for mobsters in Queens to building a global fitness empire that nearly collapsed during the pandemic, Joe's story is a masterclass in resilience. He reveals that doing hard things isn't punishment but preparation, and that embracing discomfort builds the kind of resilience that separates those who survive from those who succeed. Here's what you'll learn: Why embracing adversity every day builds the grit required to win How to find your “why” — and use it to push through the toughest moments What it takes to turn pain, persistence, and purpose into long-term success If you want to build a life that can't be broken, this episode will show you how to earn it. ---- Show Notes: 02:43 – Joe recalls growing up in Queens surrounded by hustlers and mobsters — and the lessons that shaped his early work ethic. 07:26 – The business advice Joe received from a mob boss that taught him the value of showing up early, going above and beyond, and never asking for money. 11:53 – Joe shares how his repeated rejections from Cornell taught him the power of persistence and delayed gratification. 18:46 – The creation of Spartan Race — how Joe turned his passion for endurance and suffering into a global fitness empire. 20:44 – Joe reveals how the pandemic nearly destroyed Spartan, costing $50 million, and why grit kept him from quitting. 25:42 – The story of the Japanese marathon monks and what extreme commitment looks like in practice. 33:48 – Why manufacturing adversity every day — through cold showers, burpees, and hard choices — is the key to building lasting resilience.

On this week's episode of Cool Conversations, Kenton speaks to award winning journalist and champion Obstacle Course Racer, Gwendolyn Bounds. Wendy, as she is known, took up Obstacle Course Racing at 45 years old and has built her fitness to such an extent that she now competes for podium places in Spartan races around the world. But this hasn't always been the case. Wendy discovered Spartan when she realised that she was sitting in contented inertia - in a high-pressure, yet successful career, with a busy personal life and no time for anything else. However, she decided to make time and she started building the physical foundation that now underpins everything she does. And she's never looked back. Wendy is the author of two books: Little Chapel on the River and Not Too Late Reading: The Formula by Joshua Robinson and Jonathan Clegg Listening to: Eric Church, a country music artist, and Peter Attia on a Bone Health Podcast

Hear the word "Dionysus" and you picture the Greek god of ecstasy: overflowing tables, delirious revelry, chaos. Not the austere soundworld of Guy Brewer, AKA Carrier. On the surface, the UK artist's latest alias feels almost Spartan. But look closer and the Dionysian link starts to show: it's about shedding fixed forms and identities, to allow something more true, more alive, to form. RA.1011 marks Brewer's third entry in the RA Mix series, following editions as drum & bass outfit Commix (RA.269) and, later, the techno alias Shifted (RA.310). "I guess it's an effort to step away from purism," Brewer told Resident Advisor back in 2023. "Right now the thresholds between genres are where you find the most exciting music." Carrier's phenomenal debut album, Rhythm Immortal, delivers on that promise. Low-end pressure cloaks like foreboding shadows, punctured only by eerie, otherworldly percussion comparable only to Photek or T++. Listen to the LP in full and it feels like walking through a scene in a true-crime drama: a fog-drenched city street in the deep of night, ambushed by gusts of wind, whispers and strange noises—and it sounds totally, utterly original. Tracing a line through dub pressure, fractured percussion and narcotic ambience, Brewer explores that same world on RA.1011. As with the album, there's a primal pulse that threads through the recording. Walls of negative space seem to hover before dissolving inexplicably, their tension intact; drums move more like the weather than rhythm. - Bella Aquilina

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!

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. Munaf closes by stressing the ongoing momentum of the NFL, NBA, and NHL seasons and thanking listeners for supporting the show. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

“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.
