Thom Tillis was the pivotal vote to confirm a buffoon to run the Department of Defense, and now he's shocked about Hegseth's incompetency. JD wants everyone to know he's a Catholic now, but he doesn't seem to have absorbed even the basic teachings of Catholicism. And Susan Collins claims she has influence with her Senate colleagues over Trump's agenda—even though on almost every occasion she has made sure that her vote won't matter. Meanwhile, Trump did a coup in Venezuela with an associate of Jeffrey Epstein.

Du Quoin, Illinois is having a rough week, and this one hits close to home.Massive downtown fire in Rafe's hometown of Du Quoin. Multiple businesses were destroyed, including Home Lumber Company, BJ's Garden Inn and other properties along the downtown business district. Making an already difficult situation even worse, the fire happened during the Du Quoin State Fair, one of the biggest economic weeks of the year for the small Southern Illinois community.Rafe talks about seeing the damage to a downtown that's already watched businesses disappear over the years, while Lern shares her own memories of growing up nearby and planning entire summers around the Du Quoin State Fair. Thankfully, the transcript reports no injuries or deaths, but the loss is still devastating for a town of roughly 6,000 people.So the crew sends some love south and encourages everybody heading to the fair to support Du Quoin however they can.Then, eventually, the daily comedy machine starts malfunctioning again.The conversation turns into a full Southern Illinois State Fair nostalgia session, complete with Wiz Khalifa, Russell Dickerson, demo derbies, Night Ranger and Rafe remembering the time he watched Joe Diffie put on what felt like a full stadium concert inside a tiny Budweiser beer tent. Rafe also officially declares the Du Quoin State Fair superior to the Illinois State Fair in Springfield. Complaints may be directed to somebody who cares.From there, September 3rd's collection of completely necessary national holidays introduces National Welsh Rarebit Day, which briefly causes confusion over whether anyone is eating a rabbit. They're not. It's cheese. That discovery leads directly to Worcestershire sauce, pork-steak marinades and the shocking revelation that Rafe doesn't own a grill.On Labor Day weekend.We don't make the rules, but we're pretty sure that's grounds for deportation from the Midwest.Luckily, Lern has an even worse idea.After talking with Tim Virgin, she introduces a potential reality-dating concept called Rock Hard Island. The premise involves eligible bachelors from St. Louis rock radio, women applying to date them and enough trash-TV energy to immediately attract hypothetical sponsors. There isn't actually an island involved, but that's apparently a minor logistical concern. Even more alarming: sales is interested.Nothing bad has ever happened after those three words.The crew also takes a trip through September 3rd history, covering everything from the beginning of World War II to Vince Lombardi, Iron Maiden's Powerslave, Prince's massive Warner Bros. deal, Charlie Sheen's 1995 marriage and the founding of eBay.Then Lern takes over for Crap on Celebrities with a packed entertainment rundown. There's a documentary about late Rush drummer Neil Peart featuring Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and fellow drummers including Stewart Copeland, Chad Smith and Danny Carey. Rush is also headed back to St. Louis, giving Moon another chance to see a band he thought he'd never get to experience after Peart's death.There's Beck news for local record-store fans, TV talk involving Chad Powers and The Gentlemen, a rundown of the upcoming Dancing with the Stars cast, and news involving Wheel of Fortune. The show also discusses an upcoming documentary about The Office and remembers Gloria Steinem and her enormous influence on American journalism and the women's movement.Then we arrive at one of those debates designed specifically to waste productive adults' time: the greatest movie and television villains ever.Darth Vader? Obviously.Annie Wilkes? Terrifying.Voldemort? Sure.Hannibal Lecter? Yep.The Joker? Somehow they almost forgot him.The crew runs through villains ranging from Cruella de Vil and Scar to Patrick Bateman, Magneto, John Doe and Dr. Evil, proving once again that this daily comedy show can turn almost any entertainment list into an argument.Finally, Moon breaks down which music genres are supposedly most popular in different states based on search trends, with pop leading the country, metal putting up an impressive fight and Sleep Token emerging as a heavily searched metal act.Then it's birthday time, which means any remaining professionalism is escorted from the building.We've got Charlie Sheen, King Scott's twin Shaun White, Kaia Gerber, Todd Lewis, Steve Jones and more before Rafe handles the final birthday honors and everybody briefly convinces themselves that Amber Lynn is dead.She isn't.Great work, team.It's a show that starts with genuine concern for a Southern Illinois community, takes a detour through State Fair memories, somehow invents a trashy St. Louis dating show, argues about fictional villains and ends with an accidental celebrity death announcement.In other words, another perfectly normal episode of daily comedy from The Rizzuto Show.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Episode 1019 asks the question rarely posed — "Is our Republicans learning?" — and finds them relearning the exact same 2006 playbook: distance yourself from an unpopular president, rebrand as "independent," and blame everyone but yourselves. Driftglass and Blue Gal line up MAGA voters furious about tariff-driven beef prices, ICE snatching their own spouses, and grocery costs, all while insisting none of it is their fault after voting for Trump three times. The episode traces the eerie parallel between Bush's 2006 collapse — GOP candidates scrubbing his name from campaign ads and a mass rebranding into "independents" that eventually became the Tea Party and then MAGA — and today's Illinois Republicans barely mentioning Trump's name at the state fair. It's about pattern recognition as the Left's greatest weapon, and why this time "the lifeboats" need to burn.Stay in Touch! Email: proleftpodcast@gmail.com Website: proleftpod.com Support via Patreon: patreon.com/proleftpod or Donate in the Venmo App @proleftpodMail: The Professional Left, PO Box 9133, Springfield, Illinois, 62791Support the show

Photo: Carlisle Barracks Post Cemetery in Carlisle, Pa. (Courtesy Office of Army Cemeteries) The remains of 12 Native children who died while attending the Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Pennsylvania are beginning their journeys home. The Office of Army Cemeteries is beginning its latest round of disinterments at the Carlisle Barracks Post Cemetery. The children died more than a century ago while attending the federal boarding school, which operated from 1879 to 1918. Carlisle became a model for the federal Indian boarding school system, where Native children were separated from their families and communities and forced to abandon their languages and cultures. Families and Tribal leaders are gathering at Carlisle as the remains are prepared to return to their homelands. According to ICT, this marks the ninth round of disinterments at the cemetery. The 12 students include four Alaska Native children and students from several Tribal Nations across the country. The repatriation process is scheduled to continue through October 12th, as descendants and communities bring the children home more than a century after their deaths. Red dresses and a sign reading “No More MMIW” adorn a tree in Heron Park in Springfield, Ore. during a special poetry reading on May 1, 2024. (Photo: Brian Bull) Violence prevention, victim advocacy and MMIP services across Indian Country are dealing with disruptions and cuts at the federal level, as Brian Bull of Underscore Native News and KLCC reports. A recent report from the Urban Indian Health Institute says more than 200 programs and organizations have lost funds or cut back services since President Donald Trump began his second term. Whether through the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” or initiatives against programs the White House deems “DEI” — diversity, equity and inclusion — or “woke”, many Native services are seeing support eroding. Nearly two-thirds of respondents said they were “substantially impacted” by funding cuts since January 2025, with 60% of unmet need requests for safe housing support. UIHI director Abigail Echo-Hawk said this will exacerbate issues for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and the Missing and Murdered Indigenous People crisis. “They're staying in their cars, they're becoming homeless, they're in shelters with their children, then having to move from one shelter to another. And in the worst case scenarios – that I know is happening – they're going back to the people that are abusing them because they don't want their children to become homeless, or they're in such desperate circumstances, they have no other choice.” State Representative Tawna Sanchez (Shoshone-Bannock and Ute descent), D-Oregon, has worked on MMIP and other Native issues. She is worried about how the Trump administration's continued implementation of HR 1 will affect marginalized communities and vulnerable populations. “The larger issue, right now, obviously, is: how do we value human life? Any life. And we have only begun to feel the effects of HR 1. The real effects are coming. And they're going to be hard.” Some Native advocates including Echo-Hawk say educating lawmakers can help. She said some anti-DEI initiatives have been reversed as tribes are political entities, not DEI. Another advocate, Desiree Coyote, is the family violence services program manager for the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation. She says there is an obligation from the federal government to honor all treaties signed with tribes. “This is part of what they agreed to do with us as tribal nations to help us ensure and protect our community in regards to public safety. I look forward to when the tribal nations – in regards to their sovereignty, as a way of ensuring intimate partner violence, sexual assault, dating violence, missing and murdered – are addressed quickly and in a meaningful way that benefits the people we serve.” The report, titled “Sacred Responsibility: Protecting Our People“, includes recommendations for tribal and federal agencies.

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians is ending, leaving hundreds of thousands vulnerable to deportation to a country the U.S. State Department itself tells Americans not to travel to. Alex highlights the stark contradiction: Haiti remains under the highest-level “Do Not Travel” advisory, and U.S. deportation flights cannot even safely land at the main airport in Port-au-Prince because of the security crisis. He argues that sending Haitians back under these conditions raises a profound humanitarian and moral question, underscored by the story of a 20-year-old Haitian in Springfield, Ohio, who feared being returned there.

Season 40: America's 250th Anniversary. Fifty states. Fifty crimes. Two hundred and fifty years of Americanhistory, told through the true crime cases that other shows leave behind.New Mexico, 1892. A former sheriff walks into the dark with a man he trusts and never comes home. Illinois, 1871.A former Secretary of State steps off his porch for a midnight train and is shot dead in the street. Both menserved their communities. Both were killed for it. Both were largely forgotten — until now. This is historical truecrime, and tonight both cases are about what happens when political power turns lethal.Case A: Francisco Chavez and the Santa Fe RingFrancisco Chavez was born around 1851 in New Mexico Territory, the son of a family that had shaped this regionfor generations before the American flag flew over Santa Fe's plaza. He was Hispanic, a nuevomexicano, and hebecame sheriff of Santa Fe County at a time when the territory's government had been captured by the Santa FeRing — an informal network of Anglo-American lawyers, politicians, and land speculators who exploited Spanishand Mexican land grants to strip Hispanic families of land they had occupied for generations.At the center of the Ring stood Thomas Catron, a Confederate veteran and Missouri lawyer who arrived in NewMexico in 1866. By the 1890s, Catron had acquired interests in thirty-four land grants totaling approximatelythree million acres — making him, by most accounts, the largest private landowner in the United States. He hadserved as district attorney, territorial attorney general, and U.S. attorney. He owned the territory as surely asanyone could.Chavez stood against him. Historian Tobias Duran, writing in the New Mexico Historical Review, called Chavez aformidable foe of the Santa Fe Ring. He was the rare Hispanic Democrat using the blunt authority of the sheriff'soffice to push back against the most powerful men in the territory.On the night of May 29, 1892, Chavez was lured from a Santa Fe bar by a man named Atilano Gold — someonehe trusted. Gold walked him toward the Guadalupe bridge, near the Santuario de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe,the oldest shrine to Our Lady of Guadalupe in the United States. Armed men waited behind a telegraph pole.Chavez was shot multiple times. His last words, spoken in Spanish, were that brutes had assassinated him.Four men were indicted: Francisco Gonzales y Borrego, his brother Antonio, Laureano Alarid, and PatricioValencia. Their defense attorney was Thomas Catron — the man widely suspected of ordering the murder,now defending the accused killers. The prosecution's key witness, Juan Gallegos, testified that a $700 paymenthad been offered through intermediaries for Chavez's death. Judge Seeds ruled that he did not believe Catronpersonally made the offer, but accepted the conspiracy existed. That distinction shielded Catron from criminalliability.All four defendants were convicted and sentenced to death. Appeals dragged on for nearly five years. On April2, 1897, they were hanged simultaneously at the Santa Fe jail grounds. Forty-five National Guard soldiers werepresent. At 9:09 AM, the trap bolt was drawn. Three necks broke on impact. Patricio Valencia strangled for threeto four minutes before he died.Thomas Catron was never charged. When New Mexico achieved statehood in 1912, the territory he had helpedplunder elected him as one of its first two United States Senators. He died in 1921. A former senator. Nevercharged. Never tried.Case B: Sharon Tyndale and the Seal That Outlasted HimSharon Tyndale was born in Philadelphia on January 19, 1816. He arrived in Belleville, Illinois in 1833 — the sameyear Chicago was incorporated as a town — and spent the next three decades building railroads and building acareer. Abraham Lincoln personally appointed him Postmaster of Belleville in 1861. When Lincoln was assassinatedin 1865, Tyndale was among the committee members who received the president's coffin in Springfield. He wasone of the original fifteen members of the National Lincoln Monument Association, the group that built Lincoln'stomb at Oak Ridge Cemetery.In 1865, Tyndale was elected Illinois Secretary of State. His younger brother Hector had bled for the Union atAntietam, was promoted to brigadier general, and was later breveted major general for gallantry. The family'sloyalty to the Union was bone-deep.In 1867, the Illinois legislature authorized a new state seal. Tyndale proposed reversing the state motto from "StateSovereignty, National Union" to "National Union, State Sovereignty." The Civil War had settled that question withblood. The Senate rejected his proposal. So the legislature gave him the wording and handed him the design.Tyndale kept the words in their mandated order. But he designed the banner in the eagle's beak to twist, placingthe word "Sovereignty" upside down. The seal entered use in 1868. More than a hundred and fifty years later, theword "Sovereignty" still hangs inverted on the Great Seal of the State of Illinois.On April 29, 1871, two years after leaving office, Tyndale walked out of his home on Adams Street in Springfieldjust after one in the morning, heading to the Chicago & Alton railroad station for a 1:50 AM train. On the darkstreet, steps from his own front door, someone clubbed him to the ground and shot him behind the right ear witha single-shot Derringer — the same type of weapon used to kill Abraham Lincoln six years earlier. His $50 walletwas taken. His gold watch was not. His killer was never identified.A five-thousand-dollar reward went unclaimed. Four theories competed — robbery, romantic entanglement,political enemies, railroad business dispute — and the competition destroyed the investigation. The 1929 IllinoisState Journal concluded the welter of possible motives had hindered the case. No arrest was ever made.The seal lives on. Every official document issued by the State of Illinois, every state flag that flies over Springfield,still carries the handiwork of a man who was murdered two years after completing it.Our Sponsors:* Check out Kensington Publishing: https://www.kensingtonbooks.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In June, the Supreme Court cleared the way to end temporary protected status for Haitians and Syrians living in the U.S. The Trump administration let that TPS expire last month, and about 350,000 Haitians became at risk of deportation. The impact is now hitting the small city of Springfield, Ohio, long a political flashpoint in the debate around immigration. Stephanie Sy reports.

ICE detains and deports former Temporary Protected Status holders In August, the mayor of Springfield, Ohio confirmed increased Immigration and Customs Enforcement activity in the area. ICE agents are detaining and arresting Haitian immigrants whose Temporary Protected Status expired in July. TPS is a legal designation afforded to people who are in the United States and cannot return safely to their home countries because of war, natural disasters, or extraordinary temporary conditions. It has allowed about 350,000 Haitians to live and work in the U.S. The U.S. government warns Americans not to travel there because of the risks of crime, kidnapping, terrorism, unrest and limited health care. Since the expiration date, at least one Haitian man who had been living in Springfield was deported. Others in Springfield have been called to an immigration facility near Cincinnati, where they were fitted with ankle monitors to ensure they comply with being restricted to a 75-mile radius of their homes while their immigration cases are pending. Tuesday on the "Sound of Ideas," hosted by Stephanie Haney, we'll discuss what the end of TPS means for Haitian immigrants in Springfield, and what happens when the place they may be forced to return to is facing a crisis of its own. Guests: - Kathryn Mobley, Education and Politics Reporter, WYSO - Inna Simakovsky, Immigration Attorney, Simakovsky Law

Episode 1018 features Driftglass in conversation with Dr. Cinde Wirth, the Democrat running to flip Indiana's 6th Congressional District. A seventh-generation Bartholomew County Hoosier, high school science teacher, and first-generation college graduate with a Ph.D. in cultural and educational policy, Wirth brings an unusual résumé to the race — including a stint as a congressional fellow writing science and education policy.  The conversation covers what drove her to run for office, her priorities around working families, public education, healthcare access, and the environment, and what it takes to flip a seat in deep-red Indiana. It's a chance to hear directly from a candidate who says Hoosiers are worth the fight.Her website:  Wirth For Congress: https://wirth4congress.com/Stay in Touch! Email: proleftpodcast@gmail.com Website: proleftpod.com Support via Patreon: patreon.com/proleftpod or Donate in the Venmo App @proleftpodMail: The Professional Left, PO Box 9133, Springfield, Illinois, 62791Support the show

Episode 1017 puts a decade of Never Trump confessions on trial, dissecting this unusual week where Tim Miller, Stuart Stevens, Rick Wilson, and Joe Scarborough all admitted, in various roundabout ways, that they'd known the Republican base was rotten all along. Driftglass and Blue Gal ask the only question that matters — did they know, or were they delusional? — and prove with two decades of receipts that they knew, they profited from it, and now they're profiting again by pretending to be "the first ones brave enough to say so."  (Fun Fact:  Rick can't even get the timeline right.)  The episode also honors Dolly Parton, contrasts a manosphere UFC event (that may have killed the manosphere) with Zohran Mamdani's genuinely joyful "bro culture," and shows Abdul El-Sayed outmaneuvering Jesse Watters by refusing the culture-war bait entirely. It's about judgment as a moral obligation, not a sin, and why remembering things accurately is the one thing the Never Trump grift can never survive.Links for this episode: GQ Link:  https://www.gq.com/story/ufc-at-the-white-houseMamdani's Bro Culture https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/14/nyregion/mamdani-bro-culture-sports.html Stay in Touch! Email: proleftpodcast@gmail.com Website: proleftpod.com Support via Patreon: patreon.com/proleftpod or Donate in the Venmo App @proleftpodMail: The Professional Left, PO Box 9133, Springfield, Illinois, 62791Support the show

Esmeralda Ruiz analiza con Juanma González y Dani Palacios las tres series de los años 80. En esta nueva entrega del programa en esRadio, Esmeralda Ruiz, Juanma González y Dani Palacios dedican el espacio a recordar algunas de las producciones más emblemáticas de la televisión de finales del siglo pasado. El programa comienza con un sentido homenaje musical a la figura de Dolly Parton, destacando su indiscutible legado en la música country y su influencia en la cultura pop gracias a temas inmortales como I Will Always Love You o 9 to 5, además de su participación en películas míticas de la época. El núcleo de la sección se centra en un viaje nostálgico por las series de televisión de los años ochenta que marcaron a toda una generación. La primera parada obligatoria es Los Simpson, producción estrenada originalmente en diciembre de 1989 tras haber nacido como una serie de cortos dentro de otro programa de televisión. Los colaboradores coinciden en que la familia de Springfield se convirtió en un absoluto fenómeno de masas durante la década de los noventa, logrando mantenerse plenamente vigente hoy en día gracias a las plataformas de emisión en continuo. Durante la conversación, analizan el impacto de la conocida como Bartmanía, una época en la que el primogénito de la familia acaparaba portadas de revistas especializadas, videojuegos y todo tipo de mercadotecnia. Dani Palacios destaca cómo el primer número de cabeceras de videojuegos clásicas con su portada se cotiza hoy en día a precios astronómicos. No obstante, con el paso de los años, el protagonismo humorístico y el cariño del público se desplazaron hacia Homer Simpson, consolidado por los participantes como el personaje más icónico de la serie. Asimismo, abordan la figura de Lisa Simpson, descrita por Juanma González como la conciencia demócrata y ecologista del hogar, cuyo papel a menudo resulta repelente para otros personajes. La charla también se detiene en la asombrosa capacidad de la serie creada por Matt Groening para predecir acontecimientos futuros, un aspecto que la ha elevado a la categoría de oráculo de la sociedad moderna. Recordando sus capítulos favoritos, mencionan clásicos imperecederos como el del campamento Krusty o el recordado episodio del flameado de Moe. La segunda gran serie analizada es ALF, estrenada en 1986. Los locutores rememoran con humor las andanzas de este irreverente extraterrestre que se colaba en el día a día de una típica familia estadounidense de clase media. El éxito del personaje radicaba en el contraste entre el formato tradicional de comedia de situación y la audacia de introducir una marioneta como protagonista. Los colaboradores ensalzan además el excelente trabajo de doblaje realizado en España, que dotó al personaje de un carisma único. Los tertulianos recuerdan con especial asombro el traumático desenlace de la serie, uno de los finales más impactantes de la historia de la televisión, donde el entrañable alienígena terminaba siendo capturado por las fuerzas militares. Aunque años más tarde se estrenó la película de televisión Proyecto ALF para intentar dar un cierre a la trama, la ausencia de la familia original impidió que tuviera el mismo calado emocional entre los seguidores de la obra original. Por último, el trío repasa la trayectoria de Aquellos maravillosos años, estrenada en 1988. Definida como una precursora del género de maduración o tránsito a la edad adulta, la serie narraba la infancia de Kevin Arnold a finales de los sesenta con el trasfondo de acontecimientos históricos tan relevantes como la llegada del hombre a la Luna o la Guerra de Vietnam. Los presentadores destacan la excelente banda sonora de la serie y cómo sirvió de inspiración directa para producciones españolas tan duraderas como Cuéntame cómo pasó. Para concluir, los colaboradores bromean sobre algunos de los mitos urbanos que rodearon a la producción en su momento, como la falsa teoría de que el actor que interpretaba a Paul Pfeiffer terminó convirtiéndose en el cantante Marilyn Manson. Con este repaso a tres series legendarias, el equipo closes una sección veraniega que ha permitido a muchos oyentes reconectar con los mejores recuerdos de su infancia y adolescencia.

In a recent episode of The Bee's Knees Podcast, guest Debbie Howell from Springfield, Missouri, shared her challenging journey recovering from a total knee replacement. A nurse by profession, Debbie underwent surgery on September 9th but quickly faced severe medical complications. Within days of her operation, she tested positive for blood clots in her leg and was prescribed a high dose of the blood thinner Eliquis. This medication triggered massive inflammation, swelling, and a large hematoma on her new implant, which temporarily derailed her recovery timeline and forced her to immobilize her leg.

Episode 151: Twelve Dispensaries, One Cage, Zero Regrets Nicole and Dan are back from an unannounced summer sabbatical, and they have receipts. Nicole hit Aspen, Wisconsin, and San Diego. Dan drove to Michigan. Repeatedly. Buckle up. This week: Google Maps quietly reroutes Dan onto a pitch-black back road in the middle of nowhere, where he discovers twelve pot dispensaries in a row with nothing else around them, all lit up like casinos. He also waited fifteen minutes at a McDonald's counter to order a single Diet Coke, which he got for free, so arguably he won. Meanwhile in Hurley, Wisconsin (population 1,500, strip clubs 6), Dan spots a sign advertising cage dancing next door to a taco place called The Munch, and immediately proposes a five hour road trip. Nicole's only conditions: significant others come along, and Paul is non-negotiable. She's also still waiting on her Munch t-shirt. Then the actual topics, allegedly: Illinois is about to require most retailers to accept cash on purchases under $500, and the gang is genuinely torn. Consumer freedom versus getting your ATM ripped out of the wall at 3am. Also settled once and for all: every cash-only business is definitely hiding something. Yes, including Dan's massage place. No, he does not want anyone touching him. A woman sent $310,000 to a fake Kenny Chesney she met on LinkedIn, then sued the real Kenny Chesney for not stopping her. A judge has finally weighed in. Public service announcement: no celebrity is DMing you for bus fare to Springfield, Massachusetts. A toddler on a Porter Airlines flight refused to sit down, the plane went back to the gate, everyone deplaned, and the runway curfew killed the whole flight. Dan and Nicole propose a modest solution involving financial liability and a lifetime ban for the entire family. And in Alaska, Dan Sullivan is running against Dan Sullivan, and has been endorsed by Dan Sullivan. Nicole calls for a boxing ring. Dan calls for a blind taste test. Plus: the World of CD-ROM in Kalamazoo, the cobbler shop mystery, why two mattress stores can face each other and both survive, and the shocking revelation that Episode 150 was recorded but never published. It's out there. Somewhere. Not Penny's boat. New episodes weekly, or whenever they get back from Michigan. Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.

This episode starts with a listener trying to solve a very real problem: how to get wheelchair-accessible seating for Rizz Show Night at the Blues game when the normal accessibility option isn't showing up for the theme-night tickets. Instead of letting Zach wander endlessly through ticketing menus designed by somebody who apparently hates convenience, Riz decides to pass the issue along and try to get him some actual help.Then the show turns to a frightening story out of Columbia, Missouri, where a 21-year-old former Mizzou student suffered severe injuries after falling from the rooftop area at Harpo's. The crew talks about what was known about the accident, the young man's condition, and their own experiences with Columbia's downtown, the Blue Note, Shakespeare's, old venues and the college-town scene. It's a genuinely awful situation, and everybody's hoping the kid pulls through.But because this is a funny show physically incapable of traveling in a straight line, we eventually get an update on the earlier 49ers prostitution-sting discussion. A listener from Ohio introduces the theory of a possible “Sunday brunch special,” which only creates more questions about how a wealthy NFL owner allegedly winds up at an East Palestine trailer park at 9:30 in the morning. Then comes the important question nobody else is brave enough to investigate: What kind of car are you driving into that situation?And then Simpleton Trivia arrives to destroy everybody's self-esteem.The premise sounds insultingly easy: answer 10 common-knowledge questions in 45 seconds. Get one wrong and you're immediately done. Callers can either take the challenge themselves for two pairs of tickets or put their faith in somebody from The Rizzuto Show and bet on—or against—them.What could possibly go wrong?Everything.Chris steps up first and is immediately asked how many days are in a leap year. His answer? 365. Goodbye, Chris. Thanks for playing.Matt looks unstoppable. Hours in two days? 48. Capital of the United States? Washington, D.C. Sides on a stop sign? Eight. South Pole? Antarctica. He's cruising toward victory until Rafe asks what color you get when you mix red and yellow.Green.Orange. It's orange.Then Tom makes the smartest decision anybody makes during the entire game: bet against Lern. She powers through skin, inches, Mercury, multiplication and Thanksgiving before the trees show up. Pine tree? Deciduous?Evergreen.Congratulations, Tom. You have successfully weaponized our stupidity for free Blues tickets.Mark tries next and comes flying out of the gate powered by Pepsi and Red Bull, which sounds medically questionable but strategically promising. He handles math, directions, colors, decades and elephants before being asked which state is known as the Sunshine State.California.Damn.Then a caller decides to trust Riz. This goes spectacularly well for roughly zero seconds. His first question: how many nickels make $1.25?And thus “25, damn” joins “California, damn” and “deciduous, damn” in the rapidly expanding Simpleton Trivia Hall of Shame.Surely Moon can save the reputation of the funny show, right?A caller puts his faith in Moon because Moon hasn't let him down in five years. Even worse, the caller wants Blues tickets so he can take his daughter to her first Blues game. The emotional stakes are unnecessarily high. Everybody tells him not to tell the kid yet.Moon starts strong. Seven times eight? Sand makes glass? Bald eagle? Caterpillars become butterflies? Springfield?Then Rafe asks how many months have 31 days.Moon says five.It's seven.Somewhere, an imaginary child begins crying in study hall.There's one final shot at redemption when Miranda puts her faith in Moon for AC/DC and Foo Fighters tickets so she can take her nine-year-old son to his first show. Again, everybody immediately makes this far more emotionally devastating than a morning-radio trivia game has any right to be.Moon crushes the equator, 50 states, rubies, multiplication, frogs, Canada, spider legs and photosynthesis.Then comes bread.What's the main ingredient?Yeast? Water?Flour.The game is over, dignity is dead, and Tom—the guy who had the good sense to bet against the show—is basically the only person walking away happy.This funny show has once again proven something important: never underestimate common knowledge, never trust a radio personality with your child's concert dreams, and if you're offered the opportunity to bet against The Rizzuto Show, maybe take it.Deciduous. Damn.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On August 12, 2026, law enforcement executed a search warrant at Navarre's Pastries in Springfield, Livingston Parish, Louisiana, uncovering a reported distribution hub for nine types of drugs including cocaine, MDMA, and Adderall, along with 52 firearms (bolt-action rifles, pump-action shotguns, one AR-style rifle, one Japanese Type 11 machine gun, and one stolen from the Sheriff's Office) and $3,550 in cash. Owner Jules Navarre faces 62 charges, primarily 52 counts of possessing a firearm in the presence of a controlled dangerous substance, plus possession of a stolen firearm and nine counts of possession with intent to distribute various drugs. Sheriff Jason Ard described it as a narcotics distribution hub; the business is currently closed and Navarre remains in custody, presumed innocent pending trial. Louisiana law permits disposition of seized firearms via auction, transfer, or sale to an FFL upon conviction or plea. The Gist: Scope (who/what states are affected): The raid and charges affect Jules Navarre and Navarre's Pastries in Springfield, Livingston Parish, Louisiana; the operation appears local to Livingston Parish with no interstate or multi-state distribution details stated. Impact: Navarre faces 62 felony-level charges under Louisiana law, with the majority tied to firearm possession alongside controlled substances, plus drug distribution and stolen property counts; seized firearms may be auctioned, transferred, or sold to a federal firearms licensee post-conviction or plea, highlighting state-level enforcement of combined drug-gun offenses. – Bullet 3: Bottom Line: A Louisiana bakery was allegedly used as a local hub for drug distribution and illegal firearm possession, resulting in dozens of charges against the owner and seizure of 52 guns and narcotics; the case remains ongoing with presumption of innocence. bearingarms.com (Savage) Giffords Board Member Sari Horwitz Discovers Shocking Fact About the Politics of Gun Control Explore the politics and campaign finance dynamics behind gun control after school shootings. Sari Horwitz, former Washington Post reporter and new Giffords board member, wrote in The Atlantic that a study found pro-Second Amendment groups increased political contributions by over 30% (up to 2,820% near elections) after school shootings. Bearing Arms columnist Cam Edwards argues this reflects smart political responsiveness rather than cynicism, noting gun-control PACs increased spending similarly and surpassed pro-gun groups by 2018, with the study showing no measurable effect on election outcomes. The Gist: Affects U.S. national gun control advocacy groups including Giffords and pro-Second Amendment PACs; focuses on federal and competitive-district elections following school shootings. Impact: Highlights perceived hypocrisy in gun-control advocates labeling pro-gun spending increases as cynical while their own PACs engage in identical post-tragedy fundraising; reinforces arguments that gun rights groups effectively counter emotional pressure for new restrictions without proven electoral impact. Bottom Line: The article frames Horwitz's Atlantic piece as advocacy journalism that ignores symmetric behavior by gun-safety groups, concluding her claims should not be taken at face value. bearingarms.com (Savage) Bryn Mawr Garwood LLC v. Iron Horse R&R LLC (CAM-L-002643-26) NJ developer sues long-standing gun range over alleged environmental issues in a potential land grab dispute. Bryn Mawr Garwood LLC, controlled by Pennsylvania lawyer and real estate investor Harvey Sternberg, filed suit in Camden County Superior Court against Iron Horse R&R LLC, a gun club operating since 1947 in Gloucester Township, New Jersey. The complaint alleges environmental violations including improper solid waste disposal, soil stockpiling, and potential contamination affecting adjoining properties, seeking to halt range operations. Iron Horse characterizes the action as a land-grab attempt to facilitate residential development on the adjacent Waddell Property, with a public hearing scheduled for September 4. The Gist: Scope (who/what states are affected): The lawsuit targets Iron Horse gun range in Gloucester Township, Camden County, New Jersey; it involves the adjoining Waddell Property under contract to Bryn Mawr Garwood LLC for potential townhome development (context of 750 additional units) and directly affects the long-operating private gun club and local township enforcement actions. Impact: Claims center on untested “potentially contaminated” soil and environmental harm under implied state statutes, with Sternberg's $44k+ in donations to local Democrats and PACs since 2021 noted; the case raises concerns over regulatory use against established ranges to enable redevelopment, with Iron Horse optimistic ahead of the Sept. 4 hearing. – Bullet 3: Bottom Line: This Camden County suit (CAM-L-002643-26) pits a developer against a 79-year-old New Jersey gun range in what the club calls a land-grab; no soil testing has been conducted on the alleged contamination, and the dispute will proceed to public hearing on September 4. The Truth About Guns (Savage) Abdul El-Sayed Floated Replacing 2nd Amendment with Constitutional Right to Health Care (Michigan U.S. Senate Candidate, 2023 Video) Michigan Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed once floated trading the Second Amendment for a right to health care. In a since-deleted April 6, 2023 YouTube video titled variations of “The Right to Bear Arms – The Right to Have Healthcare!”, Michigan Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed proposed amending the Constitution by replacing the Second Amendment's right to keep and bear arms with a “right to have health care.” He argued the change would result in “fewer people dying by gun and more people living because they have healthcare.” The clips were removed prior to his Senate run; his campaign later stated that he “respects the Second Amendment, and also believes that access to healthcare is a right.” The Gist: Scope (who/what states are affected): The proposal was made by Abdul El-Sayed, a Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate in Michigan; it would require a national constitutional amendment under Article V and therefore affect the entire United States, with particular political relevance to Michigan voters in the 2026 Senate race. Impact: The suggestion revives debate over repealing or altering the Second Amendment, a change that would face insurmountable Article V hurdles (two-thirds of both houses of Congress plus three-fourths of the states) and trigger intense opposition from gun-rights groups; politically, the resurfaced 2023 video has drawn criticism and scrutiny of El-Sayed's past progressive positions on guns, police funding, and July 4th celebrations during his current campaign. – Bullet 3: Bottom Line: El-Sayed's now-deleted video explicitly floated trading the individual right to keep and bear arms for a constitutional “right to health care” on the theory it would save more lives; the idea remains aspirational rhetoric with no legislative traction, and his campaign now emphasizes respect for the Second Amendment alongside support for expanded healthcare access. townhall.com (Savage) Gavin Newsom Signs the Stop Nick Shirley Act (AB 2624) Into Law Gov. Gavin Newsom signs the controversial Stop Nick Shirley Act, raising free speech and journalism concerns. On August 23, 2026, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill 2624, known as the “Stop Nick Shirley Act.” The legislation targets citizen journalist Nick Shirley's investigations that exposed fraud schemes in nonprofit and government programs in California and Minnesota. It restricts publication of certain nonprofit information and prohibits unauthorized recordings or photographs of employees and volunteers. The Gist: Scope (who/what states are affected) The law applies only to California, imposing restrictions on nonprofit organizations, their employees, volunteers, and individuals conducting investigations or journalism within the state. It does not extend to other states. Impact: Legal/Political Impact The bill creates new limits on recording, photographing, and publishing information about nonprofits, with potential fines and imprisonment for violations. Opponents, including Senator Tony Strickland, Carl DeMaio, and Eric Daugherty, argue it chills free speech, journalism, and accountability efforts,...

In this Part 2 episode Eric interviews Chris Hakala from Springfield College in Springfield, MA. Chris discusses his evolving role as executive director of the Center for Excellence in Teaching, Learning and Scholarship, which provides faculty development (workshops, consultations, observations) and also manages online courses, instructional design, LMS/ed tech support, and growing online graduate programs. He discusses gaining tenure and retreat rights, pandemic-driven support for reluctant online instructors, and institutional pressures such as enrollment declines, faculty reductions, and "right-sizing," including pausing a PhD program amid capacity and political challenges. He describes teaching multiple psychology courses, heavy service and leadership work, and deep involvement in POD, STP, and NITOP. Much of the conversation centers on AI, cognitive offloading, and the need to redesign assessments to emphasize clear expectations and learning processes rather than polished products, while acknowledging faculty and student resistance and workload strain.

We are over 1700 miles in to our approximately 2500 mile road trip. Today's show covers the crazy game in MIL, our two game visit to Springfield to see the WPBL in action, and two games in Kansas City. MIL gave us an historic shut out, a tornado warning, and a “throwing error” for the ages. On the way to Springfield we paid our respects to Rockford, the home of the Peaches, and future home of the IWBC. At the WPBL home base we saw Kelsie and Danae hit homers, Maybelle the mascot shaking her groove thing, and the very first manager ejection – Jemile Weeks of the Boston Hunters. Not sure what was slower, the umpires walk to the dugout to toss him, or his walk along the third base line out of the park. On to Kansas City for two games vs the Tigers where we learned the video board is stuck in 1992 (really? The kiss cam?), the scoreboard and fountains are glorious, the current ballpark is in the middle of nothing, and Pottymouth's boyfriends can really hit some homers. Even though we could not see the Players Weekend bats and cleats, we were in the same ballpark as Carter Jensen's cleats designed by kids staying at Children's Mercy in KC, a hospital for pediatric cancer care.The City Council just approved a public funding package for a new well-placed ballpark and we catch you up on the good, bad, and the ticked off voters. The reason for, and the highlight of our trip was a visit to the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, where Bob Kendrick, the very kind and immensely engaging president, gave us a tour for the ages. We cannot recommend the museum enough. Lastly, there's a quick note of JJ's cycle, and FIFA punishments of the Argentinian World Cup team.We say, “You look glorious because you are wearing sparkles,” “the highway, two hotels, and a gas station,” and “Floofy? Froofy? It was just bad.” Fight the man, go see some live baseball, send your game balls to Meredith, and find us on Bluesky @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.

In this episode of the Artist Academy Podcast, I'm joined by oil painter Chris Abigt. I met Chris at an art show in Springfield and was immediately drawn to her work. I ended up buying one of her prints and knew I wanted to have her on the podcast. Chris has turned art shows into a full-time business. She and her husband travel around the Midwest and do up to 18 shows a year. But there is a lot more to making art shows work than putting your paintings in a booth and hoping they sell. We talk about how she decides which shows are worth applying for and how far in advance she plans. We get into what makes a show successful for her and how she factors in expenses like booth fees, hotels and travel. We also talk about what happens between shows. Keeping up with inventory and reproductions during a busy season takes a lot of planning. Chris also explains how she and her husband divide up the work and make the business work as a team. If you've ever wondered what it really takes to build an art business around art shows, this conversation gives you a behind-the-scenes look at everything that happens before, during and after the booth.

Long before ESPN's SportsCenter became a cultural institution, Fred Hickman was helping define what sports television could be. One of the fledgling Cable News Network's original on-air personalities, Hickman became nationally known alongside Nick Charles on CNN Sports Tonight, where "Nick and Hick" paired serious sports journalism with an easy, conversational chemistry that made the nightly highlights feel both authoritative and welcoming. Their signature "Play of the Day" became so recognizable that, as the Berlin Wall fell in 1989, a viewer in Germany held up a bedsheet urging Fred to make a united Germany that night's selection — a wonderfully improbable measure of the show's massive reach and influence. This week, we revisit Hickman's remarkable life with journalist Harrison Golden, co-author of the posthumously published memoir "Channeling: My Life On Air, Off Air, and In Living Color." Golden first knew Hickman as a kid watching Yankees coverage on the newly launched YES Network, then encountered him years later while interviewing for a local television job in Baton Rouge. The two became colleagues and friends, and after Hickman was diagnosed with terminal cancer, he entrusted Golden with helping preserve the story he wanted to leave behind. Our conversation follows Hickman from his hometown Springfield, Illinois, to CNN's improvisational early days; the rise and enduring bond of "Nick and Hick"; Hickman's harrowing struggle with cocaine addiction in Detroit and the second chance that brought him back to Turner HQ in Atlanta; the explosive growth and eventual fragmentation of cable sports; and later chapters at YES, ESPN and beyond.  We also revisit Hickman's pioneering importance as one of the first Black sportscasters with sustained national visibility — and, of course, his infamous first-place vote for Allen Iverson in 2000 that kept Shaquille O'Neal from becoming the NBA's first unanimous Most Valuable Player that year. + + +    SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Us a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/goodseatsstillavailable The "Good Seats" Store: http://tee.pub/lic/RdiDZzQeHSY BUY THE BOOK:        "Channeling: My Life On Air, Off Air, and In Living Color": https://amzn.to/4ghFCIg   SPONSOR THANKS:  Royal Retros (10% off promo code: SEATS): https://www.royalretros.com/?ref=SEATS Old School Shirts.com (10% off promo code: GOODSEATS): https://oldschoolshirts.com/goodseats FIND AND FOLLOW: Linktree: https://linktr.ee/GoodSeatsStillAvailable Web: https://goodseatsstillavailable.com/ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/goodseatsstillavailable.com X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/GoodSeatsStill YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@goodseatsstillavailable Threads: https://www.threads.net/@goodseatsstillavailable Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodseatsstillavailable/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GoodSeatsStillAvailable/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/good-seats-still-available/

In this week's Ohio Statehouse Scoop, Host Jo Ingles reports on the latest in the race for governor and looks at why the Ohio Supreme Court refused to take up a case that could have challenged the Ohio Reproductive Freedom Amendment. Later, Ohio Public Media Statehouse News Bureau Chief Karen Kasler and Reporter Sarah Donaldson join Jo to talk about data centers, electricity bills, Flock cameras, and what Ohio's U.S. Senators are saying about the future of Springfield's community now that many Haitians there have lost their Temporary Protected Status. You'll hear about all of that and more in this week's Ohio Statehouse Scoop.

Springfield, Tennessee, 2012: 15-year-old Zachary Davis walks into his mother's bedroom in the middle of the night and attacks her with a sledgehammer. He then sets fire to the family home, leaving his older brother asleep inside.But when Zachary is arrested, investigators are confronted with a teenager whose behaviour is difficult to understand. He speaks in a strange, emotionless voice, claims his dead father had instructed him to kill his family, and later says he had planned the attack for weeks.As the case heads to court, questions begin to surround Zachary's mental state. Was he a severely disturbed teenager experiencing psychosis and struggling with the death of his father? Or did he understand exactly what he was doing when he carried out one of Tennessee's most disturbing family murders?Resources:⁠https://linktr.ee/eleanornealeresources⁠Follow Outlore Podcast here:YouTube - ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@EleanorNeale⁠Insta - @outlorepodcast ⁠https://www.instagram.com/outlorepodcast/?__d=16d⁠ TikTok - @outlorepodcast ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@outlorepodcast⁠ Get to know me on my Personal Channel YouTube - @ellieneale1 ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@ellieneale1⁠ Insta - @eleanorneale⁠ https://www.instagram.com/eleanorneal...⁠Tiktok - @eleanorneale⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@eleanorneale⁠⁠?...

Penn State fraternities were running an organized cocaine trafficking operation — and one of the defendants is somebody's dad. A 12-year-old girl from Alabama just tied Mo'ne Davis's all-time Little League World Series strikeout record. The Women's Professional Baseball League played its first games in 70 years and nobody's talking about it enough. Caitlin Clark is still getting hit and the WNBA is still fumbling the officiating response. The Red Sox went from 15 games back to a wild card spot on the back of a franchise-record win streak, the Orioles went on a tear of their own, and then Baltimore turned around and traded their franchise catcher to Boston. The team they were chasing. In the same division. What We Cover This Episode Penn State Frat Cocaine Ring Pennsylvania's attorney general charged 14 people connected to a cocaine-trafficking operation running out of two Penn State fraternity houses. This was not a party gone wrong. The AG described it as an upper-level trafficking organization. Two frat members were making regular supply runs to Philadelphia and New York. Pledges were used as labor to cut and package the product. And one of the defendants is a student's father, charged with hiding a safe full of drugs and cash to obstruct the investigation. Delta Upsilon is on interim suspension. Sigma Chi was already not a recognized organization on campus. Thomas Robinson thought his arrest was a prank. It was not a prank. The detail that takes this from news story to full segment: the AG said that for some pledges, cutting and packaging cocaine was their indoctrination into the fraternity. That sentence deserves its own moment.   Women's Professional Baseball League — Inaugural Season The WPBL played its first games on August 1. Four teams. All games at Robin Roberts Stadium in Springfield, Illinois. Streaming on ESPN+. This is the first professional women's baseball league since the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League folded in 1954. The No. 1 pick in the inaugural draft was Kelsie Whitmore, a two-way standout who went to the San Francisco Firebells. Mo'ne Davis, 24 years old, was drafted by the Los Angeles Queens. If you watched her pitch at the 2014 Little League World Series, this moment is going to hit you. The league was co-founded by Justine Siegal, the first woman to ever coach for an MLB organization. The regular season runs through September 6. Women have been playing baseball since 1875. This is not a novelty. It is a revival.   Little League World Series — Kinley Rasmus Kinley Rasmus is 12 years old, from Phenix City, Alabama, and she just tied Mo'ne Davis's record for the most strikeouts by a female pitcher in Little League World Series history. Six innings. One hit. Eight strikeouts. Zero runs. Alabama lost 2-0 because they couldn't score behind her. She pitched a complete game shutout and took the loss. That is the most baseball thing that has ever happened. She threw 81 pitches, which means she can't pitch again this tournament under LLWS rules. She's still on the field at shortstop and already went viral for a defensive play in the same game. Her dad is former MLB pitcher Cory Rasmus. Her uncle is former outfielder Colby Rasmus. Her other uncle, Case Rasmus, is the team's head coach. This is a baseball family. The nickname circulating on SportsCenter: "Fear the bow." She pitches with a big white bow in her hair.   WNBA Roundup The Indiana Fever went 2-1 this week and are pushing for a playoff spot. Caitlin Clark is still in the middle of the biggest officiating controversy the WNBA has had in years. Five technical fouls on the season, including one for clapping. Alyssa Thomas hit her in the throat on a dead ball and nothing was called in real time. The WNBA later reviewed it, upgraded it to a Flagrant 2, and suspended Thomas. The Fever's appeal on the clapping technical is still pending. Beyond Indiana, the Atlanta Dream are the most fun team in the league right now. They dropped 124 points on the Los Angeles Sparks on Thursday. That is not a misprint. The Las Vegas Aces are dangerous again after hammering Connecticut 101-78. The Minnesota Lynx are 4-1 over their last five and making a quiet playoff push. And the Portland Fire, a first-year expansion team, beat both Seattle and Phoenix this week.   MLB — The Red Sox and Orioles Post-All-Star Tear The Red Sox entered the All-Star break on a 9-game winning streak. They came out of it and immediately swept the Tampa Bay Rays in four games. The streak hit 13 straight — the longest in franchise history since 1948 and tied for second-longest ever. At the peak, Boston was 50-48 and sitting in the AL's third wild card spot. They were 15 games back in late June. The Orioles went on a 7-game win streak of their own, sweeping the Houston Astros before rolling into Fenway Park. Two teams combined for 20 consecutive wins walking into the same series. Boston won Game 1 to push to 14 straight. AL East standings as of August 22: Tampa Bay Rays: 76-52 (1st) New York Yankees: 73-56 (2nd) Boston Red Sox: 69-59 (3rd, Wild Card) Toronto Blue Jays: 64-67 (4th) Baltimore Orioles: 62-67 (5th) Boston is scoring 5.76 runs per game since the break. That is the best mark in all of baseball.   MLB Trade — Adley Rutschman from Baltimore to Boston On August 3, the trade deadline, the Baltimore Orioles traded Adley Rutschman to the Boston Red Sox. Their AL East rival. The team chasing them in the standings. Rutschman was the No. 1 overall pick in 2019, a three-time All-Star, and the face of the Orioles' rebuild. He had one year left before free agency and had never signed an extension. Baltimore already had Samuel Basallo locked up for eight years at $67 million and posting 16 home runs this season. So they sold Rutschman while they still could. What Baltimore got back: Boston's No. 2 prospect (MLB Pipeline Top 50), plus three other top-5 org prospects, catcher Carlos Narvaez, and a player to be named later who turned out to be outfielder Harold Rivas. What Boston got: the best defensive catcher in baseball and an immediate upgrade at a position where they ranked last in MLB in home runs. The detail that makes this trade genuinely wild: Boston swept Baltimore in the series right before the deadline while Rutschman was out injured. The Red Sox were 23-3 since July 2. They were already the hottest team in baseball. Then they bought the franchise player from the team they just swept. Three days later.   This is our last episode of Season 6, we kick off season 7 in two weeks with an NFL preview and much more....  Subscribe and Leave a Review If you got something out of this episode, leave a review on Apple Podcasts.

Episode 1016 puts Tone Policing on trial, tracing the long history of the powerful lecturing the powerless about civility while dodging the actual substance of their protests — from abolitionists to MLK to anti-war marchers, memory-holed by CNN in 2005. Driftglass and Blue Gal revisit David Brooks' unhinged 2005 meltdown over Harry Reid daring to question the Iraq War intelligence, proving that the Tone Police always overreact hardest exactly when someone hits a nerve. That pattern plays out live this week when Jon Ossoff makes one factually accurate remark about Trump's laziness and his aide, Natalie Harp, triggering a Fox News meltdown, a Newt Gingrich tantrum, and a media firestorm that made "Natalie Harp" the most-searched name in Washington.

Simpson When a prank backfires and Bart is forced into Skinner servitude, he discovers a force more destructive than him: a comet headed right towards Springfield.

Episode Description:Nancy Cartwright is best known as the voice of Bart Simpson. But in this archive conversation, James is interested in the artist behind the voice.Nancy joins the show to talk about In Search of Fellini, the film she co-wrote with Peter Kjenaas based on her own trip to Italy in the 1980s. At the time, Nancy was already working as an actress and voiceover performer, but she became obsessed with Federico Fellini's La Strada. She studied scenes from the film in acting class, felt deeply connected to Giulietta Masina's performance, and eventually decided she wanted to get the rights to adapt La Strada for the stage.So she wrote Fellini letters. When she finally got a response telling her not to come because Fellini would be working, Nancy heard something else: he would be there.She went anyway.That decision becomes the central metaphor of the episode. Nancy describes the trip not as a business errand, but as an immersion into life, art, culture, language, risk, chance encounters, and personal transformation. The film's line—sometimes you have to travel far, far away to find what is closest to you—comes from one of those real encounters.James and Nancy also talk about her earlier career. Nancy explains how she found her way from speech competitions in Ohio to radio work, to studying with Daws Butler, to acting classes with Milton Katselas. She shares stories about auditioning for Cheers, getting a part after walking straight out of the casting room, and learning that if you surprise yourself, you can surprise everyone else.That lesson also applies to The Simpsons. Nancy originally went in to audition for Lisa, but when she saw Bart's description—“a 10-year-old school-hating underachiever and proud of it”—she knew instantly that was the part. She trusted the instinct.The conversation becomes a meditation on creativity. Mentorship matters. Preparation matters. But at some point, the artist has to do the work, throw it away, walk into the room, and trust what happens.Nancy's story is about voice acting, Fellini, and Bart Simpson. But it is also about making the leap from talent to authorship, from performing other people's words to finding the story only you can tell.Editorial Note:This is a From the Archive episode. References to In Search of Fellini as a new or limited-release film, The Simpsons at that point in its run, Nancy's projects, and release timing reflect the original recording period.What You'll Learn:Why Nancy Cartwright calls herself one of the most recognizable voices attached to an unrecognizable face.How Bart Simpson's voice fits into Nancy's own personality and childhood mischief.Why La Strada affected Nancy so deeply as a young actress.How Nancy's trip to Italy became the foundation for In Search of Fellini.Why “sometimes you have to travel far, far away to find what is closest to you” became the emotional center of the film.How Nancy learned voice acting from Daws Butler.What Milton Katselas taught her about surprising herself.Why walking out of a Cheers audition helped her get the role.How to create an effect without making it feel calculated.Why auditions are not just competitions, but opportunities to fulfill a decision.How Nancy knew Bart was the right role even though she had been called in for Lisa.Why artists need preparation, mentorship, instinct, immersion, and commitment.How The Simpsons has lasted through writing, love, improv, and a giant universe of relatable characters.Why Nancy believes artists have a responsibility to connect with people on a deeper wavelength.How making In Search of Fellini took more than 20 years of persistence, revision, and collaboration.Timestamped Chapters:[02:00] The Most Unknown Famous Person in the WorldJames introduces Nancy Cartwright and asks what it is like to be instantly recognizable by voice but not by
