Was macht Kalifornien eigentlich aus? Da sind zunächst mal die 1200 Kilometer Küste mit mehr als 420 Stränden, sagt Jasmine Trippe im Gespräch mit Meine-Reise-Moderator Florian Hölzen. Ihr Favorit: Huntington Beach, die offizielle Surf City USA – mit einem Kaffee in der Hand auf die Wellen schauen, den Surfern zuschauen, nach Delfinen Ausschau halten und einfach den Moment genießen! Dabei ist Abwechslung stets garantiert: Morgens Surfen, nachmittags Skifahren – selbst das ist kein Problem im Golden State, der seinen Namen dem Goldrausch verdankt. Die erfahrene Kalifornien-Expertin hat aber noch viele weitere Tipps in petto. Zum Beispiel nicht zu deutsch zu denken, sondern sich auf den entspannten California Way of Life einzulassen – in Kalifornien ticken die Uhren nun mal anders. Und alle Vorurteile, in den USA gäbe es nur Fast Food, über Bord zu werfen: Kalifornien ist der beste Beweis für ausgewogene, frische und innovative Küche – hier fließen so viele unterschiedliche kulturelle Einflüsse, Gewürze und Geschmäcker zusammen. Welche Küche es Trippe besonders angetan hat und wie die optimale Road Trip für Einsteiger aussieht, dies und viele weitere Insidertipps gibt es im aktuellen Podcast. Gleich reinhören: Meine Reise USA – alle zwei Wochen neu.

This week, host Troy Edgar met with Surf City USA's City Attorney Michael Gates, in our L.A. studio. Michael was elected to City Attorney in 2014 and has been a recognized force in his community and across California on key issues of local control and voter ID. In this episode, Michael delves into his career trajectory and aspirations, contemplating a potential future shift toward the federal judiciary. He candidly voices concerns about California's leadership direction, particularly in addressing pressing issues like homelessness and crime. Emphasizing the necessity for robust law enforcement and a reevaluation of priorities to serve communities better, Gates advocates for stronger adherence to existing laws. Reflecting on his tenure since 2014, he outlines the pivotal divisions within his office—civil litigation, community prosecution, and research and advisory—underscoring the significance of local control for fostering accountability and democracy. Despite the challenges, Gates remains optimistic about California's future.   Ameritocracy™ is produced by Prospect House Media and recorded in studio locations in Los Angeles and Washington D.C.

HAPPY MONDAY MOTIVATION! Welcome back to my podcast, No More Excuses! Today I want to discuss the THREE D's For SUCCESS.  Why? Well, here in Huntington Beach, CA, the US Open of Surfing! Being dubbed as “Surf City USA” means there's always some sort of surfing going on, and this week is a full week of lots of it! However, this weekend also brought something I had never seen before – the Nitro Circus! It's a group of crazy-ass, BADASS dudes – although I read there have been some women – doing crazy stunts on dirt bikes! I got thinking about both the motorcycle stunt guys and the surfers. I mean ALL athletes in general, are no different than BUSINESS OWNERS and GOOD LEADERS! They all need the trio: Dedication, Devotion and Determination. Listen or watch the video on YouTube as I discuss not just the definitions of each, but how "The Trio" helps you, and why you need ALL three to succeed! Then follow me on social media all week to DIG DEEPER into each one and find out IF you have all three, and how it helps you grow personally and professionally!

Did you know that nearly 20% of all the power used in California is spent on water transportation? Did you know boron can cause testicle shrinkage? Did you know the beaches of "Surf City USA" were once covered with oil derricks? Me neither!Andrea León-Grossman, Director of Climate Action at Azul, stopped by to make her case against a pending desalination plant in Huntington Beach. In the process, she schooled me in the big, complicated world of water. Hopefully she'll school you too!

We sit down with Dave to get to know him better and explore his love for the beach and surfing.

Boia # 116 Boia flutua com a tripulação completa, mas continua à deriva, imaginando emoções intensas na World Surfing League. João Valente, Júlio Adler e Bruno Bocayuva, apertam o Challenger [sempre na contramão do voto popular] e ainda encontram motivos para justificar a Surf City USA - concordando em discordar. Sobre as finais do US Open, os elogios à primeira vitória do Griffin Collapinto num evento de grande porte foram tão contidos quanto o nível do desempenho no lado sul do Píer de HB. A vitória da adolescente Caitlin Simmers quase pula pra fora da pauta, não temos certeza se por omissão ou desinteresse. Alertamos para a importância de se exaltar a memória áudio visual louvando o Surf Film Archive (https://www.thesurffilmarchive.com.au) e redescobrindo o Brasil retratado num esquecido filme de surfe dos anos 80, I Crave The Waves (https://youtu.be/9rFEvZJ5VBo). A abertura foi com a toada balançante - It's too late do Mandrill e o fechamento com a sedutora, Stolen Moments do saxofonista e arranjador Oliver Nelson. Esperamos não lhes ter roubado momentos especiais - a vida é feita desses pequenos assaltos. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/boia/message

Folks, I am re-releasing episode 4-310 where I interviewed Bryan Lions so we could all hear his voice and listen to his story. Chris,   ... The RunRunLive 4.0 Podcast Episode 4-310 – Bryan Lyons on Pushing Rick in 2015 (Audio: link) [audio:http://www.RunRunLive.com/PodcastEpisodes/epi4310.mp3] Link Intro Bumper: Hello my friends, this is Chris your host and this is the RunRunLive Podcast episode 4-310.  Welcome.  We are in our final days of taper leading into the Boston Marathon.  I’m ready.  I’m right on my target race weight, I’m strong in the legs and I’ve done it a few times before. I’m starting from the back this year in the last charity corral.  It will take me awhile to get to the starting line and it will be crowded.  Looks like we’re getting decent weather, cool and rainy.  That’s actually my favorite racing weather. One of my friends from the running club is getting a limo to take a bunch of us out to Hopkinton on Monday morning.  There’s no checked bags from Hopkinton anymore so we’ll have to navigate the cool, wet weather on the morning with some throw away stuff.  There will be a wind.  I don’t know yet if it’s a head wind on not but as far back in the pack as I am there’s lots of shelter if you know what I mean. I don’t know if I’ll be carrying my phone or not.  I’d love to be unplugged but I don’t know how to get it into Boston otherwise without being separated from it for a day.  It turns out this new iPhone6 fits perfectly into one of those ½ size snack baggies and you can use the phone through the plastic. Today we have the great privilege to speak with Bryon Lyons who is taking over for Dick Hoyt in Pushing Rick this year.  It’s a long one, but’s that’s ok.  I think we cover some good ground. In the first section I’m going to muse on this year’s Boston from my perspective, as is my annual tradition. In the second section we’ll talk about how to use an external brain to get important stuff done. I’m good to go for Monday.  I have a red Team Hoyt singlet that I’ll probably put a long sleeve shirt on underneath because of the weather.  It’s also got some rough bits that I’d like to keep off my nipples! I still need to swing by Whole Foods and pick up some Hammer Gels for the race.  I tried to cook up my own energy gels from organic peanut butter and cocoa powder but it was a disaster.  It was like when you give a dog a spoonful of peanut butter and their mouth gets all stuck.  I’ll have to keep working on that.  Damn near choked me to death on my last couple long runs. We might go long today, but I’ll keep my comments short. On with the Show! Section one - Running Tips Tapering into Boston Voices of reason – the interviews Bryan Lyons From “Team Hoyt Racing at Boston With a Different Look For the first time since 1980, Dick Hoyt won’t run behind his son. But Bryan Lyons, a longtime supporter and runner, takes up the cause. By Liam Boylan-Pett; April 9, 2015 Rick and Dick Hoyt with Bryan Lyons Bryan Lyons (left, bib number 33864) at the 2014 Boston Marathon with Dick and Rick Hoyt. In 2014, Dick Hoyt completed the Boston Marathon for the 32nd time—each year pushing his son Rick, who’s a spastic quadriplegic with cerebral palsy, in a custom-racing wheelchair. After last year’s race, Dick wanted to retire. Rick, however, wanted to cover the 26.2 miles from Hopkinton to Boston again. He’s going to—this year with a new running partner. Dr. Bryan Lyons, a dentist in Billerica, Massachusetts, and a family friend of the Hoyts, will push Rick in the 119th running of Boston. “It was sort of shocking for [Dick] to ask me,” Lyons told the Lowell Sun. "My friends told me [the Hoyts] don't want the big name, they want the big heart. If that's the least that I can provide, I'm happy." This will be the seventh Boston Marathon for Lyons, 44, who has run for the Hoyt Foundation marathon team since 2008, with a best of 4:15:29, which he ran in 2010. Lyons does have some experience running with Rick, 53. Since January, the two have completed a few shorter local road races and gone on training runs together, according to the Lowell Sun. If Rick isn’t available, Lyons puts sandbags into the wheelchair to simulate his weight. Although Dick Hoyt, 74, won’t be running, he won’t absent from the marathon. He’s the race’s grand marshal, and will ride in a pace car ahead of the lead runners. The Hoyt’s story, chronicled by Runner’s World in 2007, has inspired many. Since 1977 when Rick asked Dick to push him through a 5-mile race, the father-son duo has completed more than 1,100 races, including Ironman triathlons. “Dick will continue to be at the head of the field, leading 30,000 runners on their trek to Boston,” Tom Grilk, Executive Director of the Boston Athletic Association, said in a press release. “Dick and Rick Hoyt will forever be synonymous with the Boston Marathon and the sport of running.” Now, Lyons’ name will be attached, too. Once Dick decided not to run, Lyons was an easy choice for the Hoyts. "Bryan will be out there, and he'll do his best, we know that," Dick Hoyt told the Lowell Sun. "He's a great athlete, a great person, and the type of person that we want to be pushing Rick. And Rick wants Bryan to be the one to do it." Section Two – Life Lessons Using an External Brain – Outro That’s it my friends.  Episode 4-310 in the can.  We’ll see what happens over the weekend.  I may do a race report or not.  It’s a lot of work to write something that I am proud of.  You don’t really know the appropriate theme until the race has been run, so you can’t prepare that much. I’ve got the Groton Road Race coming up on the 26th and we’ve still got shirts if you want to register.  We’d love to have you.  Then I’m going in to get my heart fixed.  Then…it will be summer time and the living will be easy. I was out in California this past week.  I flew out Saturday and came back on the redeye Tuesday night.  I was in Huntington Beach.  You may or may not know that Huntington Beach is known as Surf City USA. This is one of the centers of the surfing culture from Southern California. There are surf shops and beach cruiser bikes and classic cars cruising in circles.   It’s a surfer vibe. Sunday I was wandering around the resort, killing some time before dinner and ended up going into a surf shop, where they sell shirts, baggy shorts and flip flops to the tourists.  There were a couple young guys lounging behind the counter.  They were your surfer dude types.  Being me, I figured I’d chat them up. I say “You guys look tired and bored.” To which the one guy replies, “Yeah, we’re the surf instructors but they make us work in here.” And the other dude says, “Yeah, man, Long night, ya know?” I nod, as if I can commiserate. He thinks I don’t understand.  “I was up all night man, you know those Spanish girls…” I try to act like that’s something I can relate to as I stand there in my business suit and mid-life crisis look. He still thinks I don’t get it and says, “Ya know, man? The 6-2?” I agree and move on, wondering what the hell ‘the 6-2’ means. I tell the story to the guys I’m with and we come up with all sorts of theories around body type ratios and start-stop times.  We Google it but the urban dictionary, while having some fairly unsettling definitions, doesn’t quite fit. We spend the next couple days asking people and not getting any good answers.  I go back to the shop but the dudes aren’t working. At dinner that night I can see that the busboy is clearly a surfer dude cut from the same cloth.  I call him over and tell him my story in a conspiratorial and hushed way, finishing with the big question.  “What does ‘the 6-2’ mean? He says “Well bro, it’s kinda hard to explain…” I say “Just give it your best shot…” He continues. “Well it just mean he was tappin that shit all night long…” The mystery was solved.  That’s all it meant. There were not ratios or timing or measurements involved. Now you know.  You’ve got early access to some surf slang. I can see the ultra runners using this one.  How was the middle 50 miles?  “It was the 6-2, bro, all trail, all night…” With that I will leave you to your own adventures.  Don’t wait.  Step put the door and do it today.  There will never be a good or convenient time to do epic stuff. Enjoy your race. I’ll see you out there. Closing comments

WWE star Samoa Joe (the only Samoan not related to any other Samoan pro-wrestler) has had quite a year since last appearing on this pod! He left TNA, signed with NXT, and finally made his long-awaited debut at WWE! It's an incredible journey... one that involved a Paul Heyman twitter exchange, Godzilla movies, Arn Anderson, and a last-minute shopping trip to find a suit! And in between all of that, there was an awesome Takeover Toronto, some stories about the Inoki Dojo and Shinsuke Nakamura, and details about growing up in Surf City USA (aka Huntington Beach, Cali).

Huntington Beach will always be Surf City USA, but it’s also evolving to become “The Soul of SoCal.” Join Travel Brigade as we visit one of our favorite Orange County beach towns to learn more about new developments along the Pacific Coast Highway such as the Pacific City shopping and dining area and Pasea Hotel & Spa.

Even if you're not from Orange County, you probably have heard of Huntington Beach. Affectionately referred to as "Surf City" and home of the U.S. Open, clearly Huntington Beach is great for surfing.

Lindsay Parton, President of DJM Capital Partners informs us about Pacific City, an outdoor dining and retail hub that is quickly becoming the envy of the entire county. DJM is co-owner of Pacific City, which is close to celebrating its first birthday! Also joining Brian was Huntington Beach City Councilwoman Barbara Delgleize and Kellee Fritzal, Deputy Director of Economic Development for the City. They talked about the Economic impact that Pacific City has had on Huntington Beach, as well as Beachfest, the new Senior Center, and more. It may be hot in SoCal right now, but Huntington Beach knows how to keep things cool!

Serena Marie, RD: Carbs Serena Marie, RD answers a Periscope viewer question, “When is the ideal time to eat carbs?” Keep in mind that every body is different. Carbs get a bad rap at times, so remember that Serena defers that we get carbs from non-starchy foods. Carbs create a spike in insulin that acts as the “annoying neighbor” to get your cells to open up and let sugar in. Carbs are best utilized before your workout. Post-workout (40+ minutes of cardio), you can eat carbs to replenish sugar for your muscles. For people who have trouble sleeping, having a serving of carbs an hour before bed might be helpful (like milk or fruit). Sometimes diabetics find that their blood sugar is elevated in the morning, so they might benefit from a lower-carb breakfast. Mike Clarke Mike Clarke joins the show to chat with Kari about the half marathon option for the Big Beach Marathon. Out of total registrants so far, approximately two-thirds (65–70 percent) have registered for the half marathon versus the full marathon.

The RunRunLive 4.0 Podcast Episode 4-309 – Bryan Lyons on Pushing Rick Hoyt in 2015 (Audio: link) [audio:http://www.RunRunLive.com/PodcastEpisodes/epi4310.mp3] Link epi4310.mp3 Intro Bumper: https://www.crowdrise.com/TeamHoytBoston2015/fundraiser/christopherrussell Hello my friends, this is Chris your host and this is the RunRunLive Podcast episode 4-310.  Welcome.  We are in our final days of taper leading into the Boston Marathon.  I'm ready.  I'm right on my target race weight, I'm strong in the legs and I've done it a few times before.   I'm starting from the back this year in the last charity corral.  It will take me awhile to get to the starting line and it will be crowded.  Looks like we're getting decent weather, cool and rainy.  That's actually my favorite racing weather.   One of my friends from the running club is getting a limo to take a bunch of us out to Hopkinton on Monday morning.  There's no checked bags from Hopkinton anymore so we'll have to navigate the cool, wet weather on the morning with some throw away stuff.  There will be a wind.  I don't know yet if it's a head wind on not but as far back in the pack as I am there's lots of shelter if you know what I mean.   I don't know if I'll be carrying my phone or not.  I'd love to be unplugged but I don't know how to get it into Boston otherwise without being separated from it for a day.  It turns out this new iPhone6 fits perfectly into one of those ½ size snack baggies and you can use the phone through the plastic. Today we have the great privilege to speak with Bryon Lyons who is taking over for Dick Hoyt in Pushing Rick this year.  It's a long one, but's that's ok.  I think we cover some good ground.  In the first section I'm going to muse on this year's Boston from my perspective, as is my annual tradition.   In the second section we'll talk about how to use an external brain to get important stuff done.  I'm good to go for Monday.  I have a red Team Hoyt singlet that I'll probably put a long sleeve shirt on underneath because of the weather.  It's also got some rough bits that I'd like to keep off my nipples!   I still need to swing by Whole Foods and pick up some Hammer Gels for the race.  I tried to cook up my own energy gels from organic peanut butter and cocoa powder but it was a disaster.  It was like when you give a dog a spoonful of peanut butter and their mouth gets all stuck.  I'll have to keep working on that.  Damn near choked me to death on my last couple long runs.   We might go long today, but I'll keep my comments short.   On with the Show!  Section one - Running Tips Tapering into Boston http://runrunlive.com/boston-taper-time Voices of reason – the interviews Bryan Lyons  From Runners World  “Team Hoyt Racing at Boston With a Different Look For the first time since 1980, Dick Hoyt won't run behind his son. But Bryan Lyons, a longtime supporter and runner, takes up the cause. By Liam Boylan-Pett; April 9, 2015 Rick and Dick Hoyt with Bryan Lyons Bryan Lyons (left, bib number 33864) at the 2014 Boston Marathon with Dick and Rick Hoyt. In 2014, Dick Hoyt completed the Boston Marathon for the 32nd time—each year pushing his son Rick, who's a spastic quadriplegic with cerebral palsy, in a custom-racing wheelchair. After last year's race, Dick wanted to retire. Rick, however, wanted to cover the 26.2 miles from Hopkinton to Boston again. He's going to—this year with a new running partner. Dr. Bryan Lyons, a dentist in Billerica, Massachusetts, and a family friend of the Hoyts, will push Rick in the 119th running of Boston. “It was sort of shocking for [Dick] to ask me,” Lyons told the Lowell Sun. "My friends told me [the Hoyts] don't want the big name, they want the big heart. If that's the least that I can provide, I'm happy." This will be the seventh Boston Marathon for Lyons, 44, who has run for the Hoyt Foundation marathon team since 2008, with a best of 4:15:29, which he ran in 2010. Lyons does have some experience running with Rick, 53. Since January, the two have completed a few shorter local road races and gone on training runs together, according to the Lowell Sun. If Rick isn't available, Lyons puts sandbags into the wheelchair to simulate his weight. Although Dick Hoyt, 74, won't be running, he won't absent from the marathon. He's the race's grand marshal, and will ride in a pace car ahead of the lead runners. The Hoyt's story, chronicled by Runner's World in 2007, has inspired many. Since 1977 when Rick asked Dick to push him through a 5-mile race, the father-son duo has completed more than 1,100 races, including Ironman triathlons. “Dick will continue to be at the head of the field, leading 30,000 runners on their trek to Boston,” Tom Grilk, Executive Director of the Boston Athletic Association, said in a press release. “Dick and Rick Hoyt will forever be synonymous with the Boston Marathon and the sport of running.” Now, Lyons' name will be attached, too. Once Dick decided not to run, Lyons was an easy choice for the Hoyts. "Bryan will be out there, and he'll do his best, we know that," Dick Hoyt told the Lowell Sun. "He's a great athlete, a great person, and the type of person that we want to be pushing Rick. And Rick wants Bryan to be the one to do it."  Section Two – Life Lessons Using an External Brain –  http://runrunlive.com/the-power-of-the-external-brain Outro That's it my friends.  Episode 4-310 in the can.  We'll see what happens over the weekend.  I may do a race report or not.  It's a lot of work to write something that I am proud of.  You don't really know the appropriate theme until the race has been run, so you can't prepare that much.   I've got the Groton Road Race coming up on the 26th and we've still got shirts if you want to register.  We'd love to have you.  Then I'm going in to get my heart fixed.  Then…it will be summer time and the living will be easy.   I was out in California this past week.  I flew out Saturday and came back on the redeye Tuesday night.  I was in Huntington Beach.  You may or may not know that Huntington Beach is known as Surf City USA. This is one of the centers of the surfing culture from Southern California.   There are surf shops and beach cruiser bikes and classic cars cruising in circles.   It's a surfer vibe.   Sunday I was wandering around the resort, killing some time before dinner and ended up going into a surf shop, where they sell shirts, baggy shorts and flip flops to the tourists.  There were a couple young guys lounging behind the counter.  They were your surfer dude types.  Being me, I figured I'd chat them up.   I say “You guys look tired and bored.”  To which the one guy replies, “Yeah, we're the surf instructors but they make us work in here.” And the other dude says, “Yeah, man, Long night, ya know?” I nod, as if I can commiserate.  He thinks I don't understand.  “I was up all night man, you know those Spanish girls…” I try to act like that's something I can relate to as I stand there in my business suit and mid-life crisis look. He still thinks I don't get it and says, “Ya know, man? The 6-2?”  I agree and move on, wondering what the hell ‘the 6-2' means.   I tell the story to the guys I'm with and we come up with all sorts of theories around body type ratios and start-stop times.  We Google it but the urban dictionary, while having some fairly unsettling definitions, doesn't quite fit.   We spend the next couple days asking people and not getting any good answers.  I go back to the shop but the dudes aren't working.  At dinner that night I can see that the busboy is clearly a surfer dude cut from the same cloth.  I call him over and tell him my story in a conspiratorial and hushed way, finishing with the big question.  “What does ‘the 6-2' mean?  He says “Well bro, it's kinda hard to explain…” I say “Just give it your best shot…” He continues. “Well it just mean he was tappin that shit all night long…” The mystery was solved.  That's all it meant. There were not ratios or timing or measurements involved.   Now you know.  You've got early access to some surf slang. I can see the ultra runners using this one.  How was the middle 50 miles?  “It was the 6-2, bro, all trail, all night…”  With that I will leave you to your own adventures.  Don't wait.  Step put the door and do it today.  There will never be a good or convenient time to do epic stuff.  Enjoy your race.  I'll see you out there.  https://www.crowdrise.com/TeamHoytBoston2015/fundraiser/christopherrussell http://www.grotonroadrace.com/ Closing comments http://runrunlive.com/my-books
