Not So Quiet On The Western Front! | A Battle Guide Production
There was no terrain on the Somme that soldiers feared more than woodland - a maze of broken stumps, fallen branches, and hidden barbed wire. In this episode we explore how and why the woods of the Somme became such a crucial part of the battle.

0:00 - It's officially that time of year again! We're LIVE at Broncos Camp BABY! Can you smell the fresh cut grass? 16:17 - Drew Brees will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in about a week, and he asked Sean Payton to officially present him at the ceremony. Sean will speak on Drew's behalf as he gets immortalized in Canton. That's cool and all, but more importantly...we learned that Sean Payton is an Andriod phone guy?35:34 - Spencer Jones went on The Dawg Podcast (co-hosted by KCP) and explained why the second apron is actually a good thing for the NBA. Do we agree with his assessment?
Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber revisit the defining mistake, reject every excuse for the unnecessary gamble and explain why Aaron Boone's public defense only intensified the frustration surrounding another sloppy Yankees loss. The conversation shifts to the Mets' alarming attendance decline despite extremely cheap tickets, with Evan arguing that disappointed fans have no interest in paying to watch a team that failed to meet major expectations. Shaun Morash also questions the decision to remove Spencer Jones after his productive night.
The Yankees had a four-run lead, a dominant Cam Schlittler start and countless chances to put away the White Sox, yet somehow suffered their most infuriating loss of the season. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber unload on Ali Sanchez's disastrous decision to attempt a back pick at third base with two outs, while the offense disappeared and the bullpen failed to protect another winnable game. Aaron Boone did not lose the game with his managerial decisions, but his refusal to call Sanchez's mistake unacceptable created an even bigger controversy. Evan and Tiki debate whether Boone's constant protection of his players represents the same lack of accountability that could punish the Yankees again in October. Plus, the Mets' collapsing attendance, Spencer Jones being removed despite a strong night and Tiki's surprising memories of “The Baseball Bunch.”
C-Lo starts with Positive Tommy saying nice things about Aaron Boone. We heard the sounds of Ali Sanchez trying to pick a guy off at third in the eleventh inning with the lead which resulted in the White Sox winning the game. Spencer Jones hit a 3-run HR in the first. Aaron Glenn just wants the Jets to improve. He also said, ‘I'm not trying to be a butt-hole'. Jaxson Dart talked about having Malik Nabers back.
With Boomer out, Gio & Jerry open with fan outrage over Aaron Boone pulling Cam Schlittler, though Gio insists calling to fire Boone is lazy if analytics are really to blame. C-Lo drops in for his first update featuring Positive Tommy defending Boone, audio of Ali Sanchez's disastrous 11th-inning pickoff throw that handed the White Sox a win, Boone's demand to "play catch better," and a Spencer Jones three-run homer. Rounding out the hour, Aaron Glenn drops the hype speeches to focus on improving without being a "butt-hole," Jaxson Dart reacts to getting Malik Nabers back, and Niko runs the board for the first time with Boomer and Rami away.
Dylan and Alex link up to discuss the following: The Spencer Jones saga How this could trip Denver up What would it take to sign Cason Wallace now?

Will he pop off the screen as many of us expect him to? Cecil calls his shot with Waddle at this camp. He will have TWO touchdowns to start camp! How will that impact translate to the regular season? The Nuggets matched OKC’s offer to Spencer Jones. How will that impact their decision-making for the rest of this offseason? One name has come up as a potential target for Denver.

We’re here to dispel that and prove why Bo Nix is on the rise as a real gunslinger!

LeBron James is headed to Philadelphia, but does a 41-year-old LeBron make the 76ers the team to beat in the Eastern Conference—or are they building another high-profile second-round exit? The Foxx Den crew debates LeBron's fit alongside Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, Jaylen Brown and VJ Edgecombe, including Embiid's health, Philadelphia's lack of depth, championship expectations and whether all those personalities can coexist.We also break down Sam Presti's latest moves with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Did OKC genuinely want Spencer Jones, or did Presti intentionally force the Denver Nuggets into a costly second-apron decision? We examine the Lu Dort and Aaron Wiggins trades to Atlanta, how those moves could affect the San Antonio Spurs' future draft pick and whether losing shooting coach Chip Engelland is being overblown.Finally, we identify the NFL coaches entering the 2026 season on the hottest seats and debate the possibility of an 18-game NFL schedule. More football might sound great for fans, but would another regular-season game create too many injuries, damage historical records and shorten players' careers?Join The Podfather, Kellen, Gannon and Clay for honest sports arguments, strong opinions and plenty of trash talk inside the Foxx Den.
Reacting to the Nuggets' decision to match Spencer Jones' offer sheet from OKC. Plus, LeBron to Sixers
The Yankees won two of three against Philadelphia, but Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber are alarmed by an offense that has become nearly unrecognizable. With Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and Cody Bellinger sidelined, Evan calls the current lineup one of the worst the franchise has fielded in decades and argues that elite pitching is the only thing keeping the season afloat. The weakness of the American League only increases the pressure on Brian Cashman to be aggressive before the trade deadline. Evan and Tiki debate which bats the Yankees need, whether Spencer Jones and George Lombard Jr. should be part of the solution and why multiple moves may be necessary. Plus, they defend Jose Caballero after an umpire ruled that he intentionally dropped a line drive.
On the latest episode of Pickaxe and Roll, Ryan Blackburn breaks down the contract that Spencer Jones signed over the weekend. Jones initially signed with Oklahoma City, but the Denver Nuggets matched the deal in restricted free agency. Ryan discusses Denver's decision, Jones' return, and what it means for Peyton Watson, Cam Johnson, and the rest of Denver's offseason. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Is it a bad look for the Nuggets that the Spencer Jones situation got to this point to begin with? Stink welcomes the newest members of the Madden 99 Club to wrap up today’s show.

We react to the Nuggets deciding to match Spencer Jones' offer sheet from the Thunder. What financial and roster-building ramifications come with paying Jones?

Not So Quiet On The Western Front! | A Battle Guide Production
Just two weeks after the catastrophe of 1 July 1916, the British Army launched another major assault on the Somme - this time with dramatically different results. Attacking before dawn after silently assembling thousands of men in No Man's Land, they overran much of the German second position, captured thousands of prisoners, and briefly created what many believed was the best opportunity for a decisive breakthrough on the Western Front since trench warfare had begun. Yet today, the Battle of Bazentin Ridge is largely overshadowed by the bloodshed that came before and after it. So what changed in those two weeks? Did the British Army learn its lessons with remarkable speed, or has Bazentin simply become remembered as one of the greatest missed opportunities of the entire Somme campaign?

Spencer Jones agrees to Thunder offer; Nuggets get option to match by Jaggy Sports
C-Lo has a clip of Chris McMonigle praising the Yankees pitching. C-Lo doesn't think Aaron Judge will play again this season. Judge's injury has made Gio's Judge vs Ben Rice HR bet a wash. Clay Holmes made a rehab start last night and faced Spencer Jones, whose line drive injured Holmes in May. President Trump joined the long list of people mocking the Mets. Bryce Harper took a shot at the Mets too. The Giants are getting set for training camp in West Virginia.
Spencer Jones is called up as the Yankees' 27th man and immediately placed third in the lineup, leaving Evan Roberts with one glaring question: If the Yankees trust him in the heart of an offense that cannot score, why is he still in the minor leagues? Evan argues Jones deserves an extended opportunity and questions why Anthony Volpe continues to hold a roster spot, while Tiki Barber explains the matchup and playing-time complications.

When people think of the Somme, they think of failure: men cut down in no man's land; shattered battalions; and catastrophic losses. Yet along much of the southern part of the battlefield, this is not what happened at all. Here, British troops broke into the German defences, captured villages and advanced further than anywhere else on 1 July. For a few brief hours, it even seemed that the offensive might achieve its planners' hopes. So why did this part of the battlefield look so different? If the attack was succeeding here, why is the first day of the Somme still remembered as such a disaster?

Not So Quiet On The Western Front! | A Battle Guide Production
What happens when an entire nation runs out of food? This is one of our favourite episodes from our sister podcast, Reichs and Republics: The German History Podcast, and we'd like to share it with you. In this episode Katja and Chris explore the brutal reality of the 'Turnip Winter' of 1916/17, when the German civilian population was forced to endure extreme hunger, freezing temperatures and a collapsing food system. Food shortages weakened Germany not only physically, but also shattered morale, playing a decisive role in the country's eventual defeat in the First World War. They explore how the British blockade, disastrous harvests and government mismanagement forced people to survive on animal fodder such as turnips and crows!

Not So Quiet On The Western Front! | A Battle Guide Production
At 7.30am on the morning of 1st July 1916, whistles blew along a front stretching more than twenty miles. Tens of thousands of British soldiers climbed from their trenches and began walking towards the German lines. By nightfall nearly 20,000 of them would be dead. It remains the bloodiest day in British military history. But that catastrophe was not evenly spread across the battlefield. Some sectors were disasters. Others achieved limited success. To understand what happened, we need to begin in the north, where the British offensive would suffer its greatest failures.

The Yankees lineup, concern over Jazz Chisholm returning so quickly, and a strange food poisoning situation involving Spencer Jones and Ryan McMahon. With the Yankees trying to stop the bleeding, Shaun questions whether the team is being cautious enough and what this latest mess could mean as they look to get back on track. The bigger fireworks come from Steve Cohen's comments about David Stearns, Juan Soto, and Francisco Lindor. Shaun breaks down why Cohen's words raise real questions about the Mets' front office, last year's clubhouse issues, and whether the team's offseason moves were more about keeping its biggest stars comfortable than actually building the best roster.
0:00 - Every second, more news breaks in the NBA. A trade here, a free agent signing there...and yet, nothing from the Nuggets. Except for Tim Hardaway Jr. taking his talents to South Beach. He signed with the Heat. Why aren't the Nuggets in the mix more?19:11 - Vic's beautiful baby boy was on the golf course yesterday and almost got struck by lightning! Be safe out there, people. If there's a storm, go inside. Don't finish the front 9. It's not worth getting fried to a crisp. 31:16 - Oh, by the way...Spencer Jones is back to posting on LinkedIn! What business-like insight did he offer this time? Oh, by the way...isn't it weird hearing French language broadcasts of sports? How can such a beautiful language be used to describe the rough and tumble action of something like hockey? And why do half of European languages sound gorgeous and the other half are terrifying?Oh, by the way...a Mexican soccer fan was sitting right behind home plate at the Dodgers @ A's game last night watching the World Cup game on his phone. He lost his mind when Mexico scored, and you could hear it CRYSTAL CLEAR on TV.
Shaun Morash fills in for Evan alongside Tiki Barber as the show bounces from Mets frustration to Yankees questions and a full blown debate over what belongs on the perfect Fourth of July plate. The callers bring plenty of energy, from praise for the show's comedy to concerns about Juan Soto, Francisco Alvarez, Yankees catching options and whether Aaron Boone is running out of chances. The conversation turns into a classic mix of New York sports and food chaos, with Salvador Perez floated as a Yankees fit, Spencer Jones getting a little patience, and Mets fundamentals coming under fire. Then things get deliciously weird as Shaun, Tiki and the callers argue over beef hot dogs, grape jelly, peanut butter burgers, scrapple, apple pie, vanilla ice cream and the most patriotic nonpolitical sports moments.
Tiki and Shaun Morash dig deeper into why the Yankees' slump feels familiar, even if it is not time for full blown panic. With Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton hurt, the offense looks exposed, the roster's age is showing, and the lack of dependable depth is becoming a bigger concern by the day. The conversation turns to Aaron Boone's leadership style, the struggles of Austin Wells, and the troubling sign of Max Schuemann pinch hitting for Spencer Jones in a big spot. Tiki and Shaun also debate whether Brian Cashman can afford anything less than an aggressive trade deadline for a Yankees team that needs to win now.
The Yankees' rough weekend in Boston has the panic meter moving, even if full blown alarm has not arrived yet. After a sweep by the Red Sox, the conversation turns to whether this is just a bad stretch or another sign of the same problems that have haunted the Yankees in recent seasons. Tiki and Shaun Morash dig into Aaron Boone's postgame message, the injuries to Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton, the slumping bats of Ben Rice and Cody Bellinger, and the growing pressure on Brian Cashman to make real upgrades at the trade deadline. They also question the Yankees' youth, from Spencer Jones to Austin Wells, and debate whether this roster has enough urgency to finally push through in October.
Shaun Morash is in for Evan alongside Tiki Barber for a loaded Monday show after a brutal weekend for New York baseball. The Yankees get swept in Boston, Aaron Boone's postgame message raises more questions, and Shaun and Tiki debate whether the Yankees are really in panic mode or just badly in need of a deadline jolt. They break down the injury concerns around Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton, the cold bats of Ben Rice and Cody Bellinger, the Austin Wells problem, Spencer Jones getting pinch hit for, Anthony Volpe's flashes, and why Brian Cashman may have to go all-in. Then, the Mets mess takes center stage. Steve Cohen returns to social media for all the wrong reasons, a fan gets removed at Citi Field over a “Fire Stearns” sign, and Eric Chavez's comments put even more heat on David Stearns. Shaun and Tiki also dive into Juan Soto's role, Francisco Lindor's leadership, the Mets' broken culture, and why fans feel like the soul of the team has been ripped away. Plus, reaction to Chris Johnson's ALS diagnosis, a quick Rangers thought, Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s maturity debate, and plenty of angry New York baseball calls.
It's not always easy to live out your dream, which was a reminder offered by Yankees rookie Spencer Jones when he sat down with Bradfo. The former first-round pick detailed some of the obstacles he overcame to reach the majors and offered advice to those about to be introduced to professional baseball. Bradfo also catches up with another inspirational story: former All-Star Paul Blackburn, who has revitalized his career after navigating a few years of struggles and injuries. And, finally, there is a conversation with Trevor Story, who not only offers an update on his comeback from sports hernia surgery but also explains the importance of veteran leadership in a big league clubhouse.
