We're kicking off the new month this week on Outdoor Magazine Radio. First, Jack Ammerman from the Michigan Pheasant Hunting Initiative talks about bird hunting on state game areas. Then, Bill Hahn of Jay's Sporting Goods has details on a program to save money on Ol' Man products through Jays. Hour two kicks off with houndsman Jordan Farmer. Jordan describes hunting bear and bobcats with hounds. Justin Tomei from MUCC is up next with insight into the proposed DNR budget. We're talking St. Clair River sturgeon fishing in Hour 3 with Anthony Moreschini from Finns Sportfishing. The show wraps up with Chef Dixie Dave Minar. This time, another venison recipe.

Part inventor, part hustler, part one-man media team—Mike Silva turned a Thanksgiving garbage-can game into QB54: a dual-purpose football game you play (then sit in). The Blue-Collar Twins dig into how he went from beach-day preorders to manufacturing at scale, survived COVID freight shocks, landed in 200 Dick's Sporting Goods stores, and kept his family in the ride the whole way. You'll hear: The origin story: buckets to chairs, a light-bulb prototype, and first cash-in-hand preorders on the Jersey Shore.Testing before betting: small runs, tailgate demos, and learning to trust (but verify) manufacturers.Retail reality: terms, freight, tariffs, drayage—and why “getting in” is nothing without “selling through.”Media engine: eight years of footage, smart ad buying, ROAS/CAC basics, and turning reactions into conversion.Resilience & risk: six-figure debt, family support, mentor advice (“stay even keel”), and the grit to keep moving.What's next: Shark Tank exposure, overseas distribution, and a potential soccer variant.

This episode is brought to you by Commerce.Sports retail is moving fast — and sometimes sideways. This week, Shop Eat Surf Outdoor Editor in Chief Tiffany Montgomery and long-time industry analyst Matt Powell join Retail Remix for a candid discussion about what's really happening with the biggest names in sports and activewear — and what retailers can learn from both their wins and missteps.Listen in to hear:Why Dick's Sporting Goods' acquisition of Foot Locker is both a bargain and a big bet on Nike's turnaround;The operational edge that's helped Dick's pull away from competitors;Nike's strategic missteps and why recovery will take longer than Wall Street hopes (but is in the cards); Why lagging in grocery and losing its sense of fun have been just as harmful to Target as its recent DEI reversal;Lessons from Vuori's cross-category and cross-gender success — and what legacy players like Lululemon can learn; andWhy executives shouldn't be lulled into a false sense of security following relatively rosy Q2 earnings.From footwear giants to big-box chains, this episode pulls no punches in looking at the forces reshaping retail.RELATED LINKS:Learn more about the strategy and advisory work of Matt Powell at BCE ConsultingExplore more coverage of the active outdoor industry from Shop Eat Surf OutdoorRelated reading: Dick's Sporting Goods to Acquire Foot Locker in $2.5 Billion DealRelated reading:The Evolution of Journeys Under New President Andy GrayRead more from Retail TouchPointsCatch up on all episodes of Retail Remix -----How to Win Customers Across Every ChannelThis guide from BigCommerce brings you expert insights on data, branding, and marketing to help you grow sales across every major channel.

On this episode of the Modern Retail Podcast, co-hosts Gabriella Barkho and Melissa Daniels break down Dick's Sporting Goods' $2.4 billion acquisition of Foot Locker. They also discuss the debut of the Girl Scouts' newest cookie, the Exploremores, and how the organization has evolved from door-to-door sales to SMS-powered marketing. For this week's featured segment, Daniels sits down with AG1 CEO Kat Cole. The green supplement giant pulled in $600 million in revenue last year with a single SKU, but 2025 has brought major growth: a reformulated powder called NextGen with new flavors, the launch of its first sleep product AGZ, and a wholesale partnership with Costco. Cole shares how AG1 invests in R&D — from triple-blind testing to scaling supply chains — and why adding more probiotics or B vitamins comes with big costs.

You know Dick's Sporting Goods as one of America's largest and most successful sports retailers. It has used that status to help create an impressive catalog of five feature-length films and 10 short-form or episodic documentaries over the past decade, including the Emmy-winning docs We Could Be King (2014) and The Turnaround (2024). But in August, Dick's took things to a new level, officially launching an in-house studio division called Cookie Jar & A Dream Studios. In this episode, I talk to Dick's chief marketing officer Emily Silver about why now is the perfect time for an in-house studio, the evolution of the brand's entertainment strategy, how the company measures success for these projects, and where it all goes from here.    Before that, I wanted to put what Dick's is doing into some context. So I called up Zac Ryder, co-founder and chief creative officer at Modern Arts—the agency that helped WhatsApp produce the Netflix doc The Seat, which we talked about back in Episode 1 of this season. Zac and I nerd out on the evolution of brand entertainment, then break down our picks for the "Best Brand Entertainment of the Past Decade."

This episode of Behind the Mitten finds us back in our second "home" of Gaylord Michigan, along with our co-host, and director of the Gaylord Tourism Bureau, Paul Beachnau. A regular on the show, and one of our best buddies, Paul takes around Gaylord, to spots both brand new, and old favorites. Come along as we go all outdoors, and a little bit inside, in Gaylord Michigan.Did you know that you can see elk literally right downtown Gaylord? It's a true story, and they've just built an awesome new viewing platform that you can get incredible vistas of these majestic animals that is located just minutes from I-75. Paul takes us on a tour, and record on-site. The elk herd in Gaylord is about 60 strong....and these animals, which can weigh upwards of 800 pounds and stand six feet tall, are particulary engaging.....or alarming....in the fall, when the bugling and rutting reaches a peak. Perfect time to stop by, or to do a deeper dive viewing the elk at the nearby Pigeon River State Forest. Where to find all the amazing elk in Gaylord Michigan, and how to view them best.Next, we hit the local disco where we find sparkling gems to dance the night away to. OK, that might be a stretch, but what we encountered was equally awesome...and sparkly. We catch up with regular Mark Copeland from Jay's Sporting Goods  who always knows the coolest equipment, the best seasonal wear, and just what Michiganders need each season. We learn about the fascinating Yooperlites, those crazy glo-in-the-dark rocks that are causing obsessions around the state. Jay's has some super cool gear to help you find them, plus tons more for all your fall adventures. Next, another BTM regular, and great friend, Jordan Awrey comes back to chat about all things Snowbelt Brewing, where he is officially their marketing manager, and unofficially the "mayor" of Gaylord. Please don't be offended actual Mayor Todd, it's just that Jordan is such a great cheerleader of Gaylord, and turns that passion into action, in the form of their summer concert series and so much more. We always love to hear what Jordan has planned next, because it's honestly always amazing.Finally, a visit to Gaylord would NOT be complete without a visit to Michigan's Most Spectacular Resort, Treetops. We love using Treetops as a base for exploring Northern Michigan, we love joining friends at the resort for pizza in the pub, or for skiing or EXTREME tubing during the season.The fall, they are offering a series of Fall Progressive Dinners at Treetops that we would be beyond happy to attend. Book your tickets now, and you will be delighted not just by the seasonal menu, but also by the incredible autumnal views that you'll get to take in via your very own golf cart tour as you cruise the award-winning courses at Treetops while enjoying a cocktail and snacks. No need to swing your club this time, just drive along with a guide who will give you the deets on this incredible spot. Then, converge at the top of the hill at Legends restaurant for a mulit-course meal. Barry Ownes, GM of Treetops gives us all the tips on bookjng this experience. https://www.facebook.com/behindthemittenhttps://www.instagram.com/behindthemitten_/https://twitter.com/BehindTheMitten#BTM #amyandgonzo #BehindtheMitten And you can find all sorts of things on our website, https://www.amyandgonzo.com/

He brings some charts to break down their views on DKS and expects the Foot Locker (FL) acquisition to “dominate” the earnings call.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

The Emmanuel Haro Case: EXPOSED: Why Investigators Suspect Foul Play! On August 14, 2025, 7-month-old Emmanuel Haro vanished outside a Big 5 Sporting Goods store in Yucaipa, California. His mother, Rebecca Haro, told deputies she was attacked in the parking lot and knocked unconscious. When she came to, Emmanuel was gone. There was no suspect description, no vehicle, no witnesses—and as a result, no Amber Alert was issued. The disappearance triggered an immediate law enforcement response. Deputies brought in K-9 units and, shockingly, cadaver dogs within hours. Drones scanned the sky. Nearby businesses turned over surveillance footage. Despite the frantic search, Emmanuel was nowhere to be found. Attention quickly shifted to the family. Investigators flagged inconsistencies in Rebecca's account. When confronted, she ended her police interview and refused a polygraph. Days later, detectives served search warrants on the family's Cabazon home, seizing cell phones, iPads, gaming consoles, surveillance DVRs, and even the father's car. The father, Jake Haro, already had a troubling history. Court records show he and Rebecca pleaded guilty to child cruelty charges stemming from a 2018 case. At the time Emmanuel disappeared, Jake was still on probation and also facing weapons charges. That history made the family a primary focus for investigators. Meanwhile, a reported sighting of Emmanuel in Kern County briefly raised hope—but was never confirmed. Today, Emmanuel remains missing. The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department continues to investigate, but with the family refusing to fully cooperate, the case is clouded in suspicion. This episode takes you inside the haunting details of the Emmanuel Haro case, where a baby disappears in broad daylight, the parents' stories unravel, and investigators are left to search for truth in silence. #TrueCrime #EmmanuelHaro #MissingBaby #Yucaipa #HiddenKillers Hashtags  #TrueCrime #EmmanuelHaro #MissingBaby #Yucaipa #HiddenKillers #ColdCase #CrimeDocumentary #TrueCrimePodcast #Investigation #CrimeNews Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

We have a new Brain Candy seal of approval, inspired by Sarah, created by Adam, and loved by all. Pay attention to our approvals with our new device. We wonder why the Twinkie never left despite threats that they were discontinuing their production of the food (???). We learn the origin of Pac-Man, why the game was revolutionary, and what makes us love it still. We talk about the strange success of the sporting goods story, Dicks, and how Sarah thought Dick divorced someone and she had a spinoff store called Chicks. We debate AI for therapy, wellness, and friendship, and share what we think people should do instead (and it involves, you know, talking to actual people). We learn about the new Shiny Happy People season, but it turns out, Susie's up to speed, since she was a participant in evangelical churches in the 90s.Brain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:For 50% off your order, head to https://www.dailylook.com and use code BRAINCANDYSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Joey had a physical at the doctor yesterday and had to provide a sample in the restroom. Instead of putting the cup a the little door on the wall like at most places, he had to take it with him and carry it down a hallway. Dick’s Sporting Goods put it’s Nico Iamaleava shirts on clearance. There is a new version of AI out now. Joey’s car now has AI programmed in it. Nancy’s 12 year old woke her up last night and told her he got some blood on his sheets from a scratch. She woke up this morning to find out he had actually spilled red Gatorade in his bed and lied to her about it. She was mad, so she woke him up at 4am. Hot Tea: Kelly Clarkson’s ex husband passed away. Riley Green revealed that he prefers brunettes over blondes. A lady was dancing on her roof and fell down the chimney. Joey witnessed an old man throw a temper tantrum at a self checkout. A man named Gene called and told us some terrible jokes. Lucky 7 Karly was supposed to be in Texas today for a friend’s wedding, but had to cancel the trip. She got caught in the problems at McGhee Tyson Airport and a completely shut down interstate. The possum event that a caller told us about yesterday was fake. A guy on Facebook created and posted it as a joke, but people thought it was serious.

This week, our hosts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Dave Bittner⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Joe Carrigan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Maria Varmazis⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (also host of the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠T-Minus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Space Daily show) are back sharing the latest in social engineering scams, phishing schemes, and criminal exploits that are making headlines. We start with some follow-up on an Arizona woman sentenced to over eight years in prison for running a “laptop farm” that helped North Korean IT workers pose as U.S. employees at hundreds of American companies, funneling over $17 million to Pyongyang through stolen identities and remote access. We also share an update on Joe's Profile picture. We start with Dave's story on a Facebook scam falsely claiming insider access to a secret Yeti cooler deal from Dick's Sporting Goods, using a fake emotional backstory to lure users into clicking a malicious link under the guise of an employee-only loophole. Maria's story is on escalating violence at the Thailand-Cambodia border, where a long-standing territorial dispute has reignited after a leaked phone call between leaders fractured a decades-old political friendship, sparking deadly clashes, diplomatic fallout, and rising tensions fueled by personal betrayal, political instability, and mutual economic pressures. Joe's story follows the indictment of a former Tri-Cities pastor who allegedly used his position and a fake cryptocurrency scheme called “Solano Fi” to defraud his congregation and others out of millions, promising risk-free returns while siphoning the funds for himself and his co-conspirators. Our catch of the day comes from Joe who shares an interesting email from "Xfinity." Complete our annual ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠audience survey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ before August 31.
