Former Marine Force Recon veteran Kirk Spradely, call sign “Tadpole,” shares his powerful life story...from surviving a brutal childhood and orphanage violence, to becoming a Marine Force Recon operator, working for Blackwater in Iraq, serving in OGA special programs, flying Blackhawk and Apache helicopters, and later supporting the Kurdish military.In this episode of Urban Valor, Kirk opens up about the day his teammate Tommy Jenner was killed by an enemy sniper in Ramadi. Kirk says the sniper was likely Juba, one of the most feared enemy snipers in Iraq. He describes watching Tommy fall beside him, hearing his teammate yell “sniper, get down,” and realizing a follow-up round had just cracked over his head.Kirk also talks about Marine Force Recon training, combat diving, counter-narcotics operations, Blackwater convoy work, OGA special programs, the moment he met a Taliban-contracted assassin, flying medevac missions for wounded troops, and attempting to help build a Kurdish Air Force before the referendum fallout. 

We're talking with "Crappie Dan", Dan Dannenmueller on this edition of the Off Shore Tackle podcast. Dan describes his passion for the hard fighting panfish, the types of crappies and the difference between "pushing" and "pulling". He also talks about when to use the OR12 boards, the OR 38 mini boards and the popular Tadpole diving weight. It's an interesting conversation with a man hooked on trolling for crappies.  

Most independent agency owners look at a private equity acquisition as the ultimate finish line. They assume that getting bought by a massive national broker will instantly solve their back-office problems, open up new markets, and fund their ride into the sunset. But here is the harsh reality of the M&A space today: if you don't read the fine print, your dream deal can quickly turn into an absolute nightmare.My guest, John Lipton, a 30-year veteran property and casualty advisor, joins me to share one of the most unique agency trajectories you will ever hear. John built a scratch agency by hand, sold 50% of it under an accumulation structure that no longer exists today, bought the entire entity back, and turned around to sell it again 24 hours later. We break down the absolute madness of his early career trading currencies on a French bank floor during structural market collapses, why P&C is fundamentally a need-based consultative process rather than a transactional hard sale, and why agency owners must watch their peripheral vision to protect their commissions from post-acquisition contract changes. John also shares his experience as an expert witness in broker defense and how seeing egregious gaps in coverage shapes how he teaches his own team.▶▶ Sign Up For Your Free Discovery Callcompletegameu.com/agaTimestamped Outline(00:00) From the Trading Floor to the Finish Line: Introducing John Lipton(01:26) Forex Trading in the 90s: Fast Markets, Big Losses, and Structural Stress(04:05) Sitting in the Seat When the French Franc Collapsed(05:01) Job Security Over Burnout: How the Advent of the Euro Shifted the Market(06:02) The Family Gateway: Moving from Wholesale to a Retail Scratch Agency(08:42) Legacy Over Leverage: The Fortitude Required to Build a Firm from Nothing(10:21) Selling a Need: Why P&C Brokers Have an Advantage Over Life Insurance(13:47) Complex Products for Unexperienced Clients: Becoming an Educator(16:39) The Low Barrier to Entry: When Theory Fails Reality in Broker Training(18:15) Access to Markets: Why Back-Office Support Makes Acquisitions Attractive(21:03) The 50/50 Deal: How John Protected His Agency Expenses from Board Overreach(23:24) Cleaning up Shop: The Low-Price Buyback That Epic and Capacity Didn't See Coming(25:50) The 24-Hour Flip: Buying Your Business Back and Selling It the Next Day(27:51) Don't Start with the Finish Line: Why Building for an Earn-out Fails(31:47) Tadpoles in the Ocean: The Risk of Small Agencies Merging Into Mega Firms(35:52) Expert Witness Work: Leveraging Broker Defense to Identify Coverage Gaps(38:52) John's Lightning Round: Panera Coffee Sip Club, Over-40 Lacrosse, and the Ironman 70.3CONNECT WITH ANDY NEARY

What do you do when tadpoles take over a horse trough? In this fun and wide-ranging episode of The Backyard Naturalists, Debbie, Laurie, and Chris dive into the fascinating world of tadpoles after a listener from California asks how to handle an unexpected amphibian boom in her horses' water troughs. Along the way, the conversation explores why frogs choose certain places to lay eggs, what tadpoles need to survive, and how understanding wildlife habitat — food, water, shelter, and places to raise young, can help explain nature's behavior right in your own backyard. Listeners will also learn practical tips for encouraging or discouraging tadpoles, what they eat as they grow, why shade and clean water matter, and how these tiny creatures can actually provide natural mosquito control. Equal parts educational and entertaining, this episode is a reminder that even a simple horse trough can become a window into the amazing processes of metamorphosis, backyard ecology, and the everyday wonder of the natural world.

Who do we need to scan? Behind the constant considerations of irradiation risk and resource usage, there is nuance to be found. Parkinson's disease - being a clinical diagnosis - doesn't suggest a need for imaging, yet one case in this issue argues that should not be an absolute rule. Another paper brings in the context of a specific patient: does one man really need 50 CT scans in his life? There's also an unboxing of uveitis, diagnosis of Alexander disease in adults, and an exploration of connections between the microbiome and neurology. This being the fifth(!)

Biologist Lauren O'Connell studies poisonous frogs, but not just the toxins that make them dangerous. She also studies the neuroscience of their complex parenting. She's learned that tadpoles recognize their mothers by smell and do a “begging dance” when hungry, and that the frogs produce a protein that protects them from their own poisonous chemistry.  That protein could help treat overdoses in humans, O'Connell tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

As promised, here is the SECOND caterpillar-and-tadpole-are-friends book we're featuring, two weeks in a row. I would like to point out that in both cases, the caterpillar is 100% the problem friend in the relationship. This probably says more about human attitudes towards fancy folks than anything else, but feel free to write your own insightful thesis on the subject if you so choose. As we go through this book, we realize that it should have been renamed TADPOLE'S UNKNOWING REVENGE since it truly is a novel way to portray an unusual relationship.

Thanks to Trech for suggesting this week's topic, the red-eyed tree frog! Further reading: Tadpoles hatch in seconds to escape predator The colorful red-eyed tree frog [photo by Geoff Gallice]: Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I'm your host, Kate Shaw. This week we're going to have a short little episode about a little frog, suggested by Trech. The frog in question is the red-eyed tree frog, which is native to Central America, including parts of Mexico, and northwestern South America. It lives in forests, always around water. You might be thinking, “of course, frogs live in water,” but remember that this is a tree frog. It lives in trees. But it still needs water for its babies, just not quite in the way most frogs do. Before we learn about that, let's learn about the frog itself. A big female can grow about 3 inches long, or 7.5 cm, while males are smaller. It's a cute frog, of course, because frogs are always cute, but it's also brightly colored. It's bright green with red eyes, blue and yellow stripes on its sides, and orange feet. Ordinarily, a frog with such bright colors would warn potential predators that it's toxic, but the red-eyed tree frog isn't toxic at all. Its bright colors have a different purpose. When it's sitting on a leaf, the bright colors are hidden and only the frog's smooth green back is showing, which makes it look like just another leaf. Only its eyes are bright, but it closes its eyes when it's resting. But if a predator approaches, the frog opens its eyes suddenly and jumps up, revealing all those bright colors. The predator is startled, and maybe even hesitates because it thinks the frog might be toxic, and by the time the predator decides it should try eating the frog after all, the frog is long gone. Oh, and if you're wondering, the red-eyed tree frog can see through its eyelids. They're actually not eyelids like we have, but a membrane that it can move over its eyes. The frog is nocturnal and eats insects like mosquitoes, crickets, and moths. It has a good sense of smell, which helps it find insects in the dark. The tree frog also has suction cups on its toes that help it stay put on smooth leaves. During the day it sticks itself to the underside of a leaf to sleep where it's more hidden. The female also lays her eggs on the underside of a leaf. This protects them from heavy rain, since the frogs breed during the rainy season, and it also helps hide them from predators. The female chooses a leaf that's growing above water, and if the leaf isn't very big she'll lay eggs on both sides of it and fold the leaf to help hide all the eggs. The eggs stick to the leaf with a type of jelly that also helps keep them from drying out. The eggs hatch in about a week, but they can hatch a few days early if a predator approaches. The embryonic tadpoles in their eggs can sense vibrations, and if a predator like a snake shakes the leaf as it approaches the eggs, the tadpoles can hatch within seconds. They drop straight down into the water below the leaf. Hatching early when in danger is called phenotypic plasticity, and it's really rare. It's especially unusual because the embryonic tadpoles can actually tell the difference between a typical predator of frog eggs and vibrations caused by other animals or the wind. They can hatch so quickly because the stress reaction causes the pre-tadpoles to secrete an enzyme from their little noses, which weakens the egg wall and allows them to push and wiggle their way out. Tadpoles stay in the water for several weeks, or sometimes several months depending on conditions, during which time they eat algae and other tiny food in the water. As they grow bigger, the tadpoles can eat bigger food, including other tadpoles. They switch to tiny insects after they metamorphose into froglets. At some point during its development, a red-eyed tree frog needs to eat enough food containing carotenoids in order to develop...

South American cane toads were brought to Australia in 1935 to help eradicate native beetles that were destroying sugar cane crops. The toads didn't care much for the beetles, but they did spread across the coast of Queensland and beyond, with no natural predators to stop them. Their own deadly toxin devastated local reptiles along the way, and they now number over 200 million.Invasive biologists have long tried to curb Australia's cane toad population. The newest approach uses CRISPR gene-editing technology to create cannibalistic “Peter Pan” cane toad tadpoles: tadpoles that don't fully mature and instead feast on the tens of thousands of eggs that the toads produce.How was this approach developed, and how do these researchers think about making a potentially massive change to the ecosystem? Biologist Rick Shine, who has led the effort, joins Host Flora Lichtman to discuss it. Later, science journalist Elizabeth Kolbert talks about her experience reporting on similar monumental efforts to control nature—and what they say about us.Guests: Elizabeth Kolbert is a staff writer at The New Yorker and author of Under a White Sky: The Nature of the Future (Crown, 2021). She's based in Williamstown, Massachusetts.Dr. Rick Shine is a professor of biology at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia.Transcript is available on sciencefriday.com.

For years, we've been asking, "Which came first: the chicken or the egg?" Maybe what we should have been asking is, "Which came first: the frog or the tadpole?" A new paper in the journal Nature details the oldest known tadpole fossil. Ringing in 20 million years earlier than scientists previously had evidence of, this fossil might get us closer to an answer.Have another scientific discovery you want us to cover on a future episode?

Send us a textAndrea and Paulette are back, and this time, they're schooling us on two things: Andrea's eager-but-clueless helper and, well, let's just say some tadpoles didn't make it out alive. Tragic but hilarious.Just when you think it's safe to get back in the water, BAM! You get hit with a Biolab update. You know, the place that had that massive fire. Trying to get things back on track after that has been a mess. Things are looking up, according to this Press Release.Picture this: Andrea's got a new guy on the team, right? And this guy is the definition of enthusiastic ignorance. He doesn't know squat about pool service, but he's like a sponge—ready to soak it all in, except maybe some chlorine, 'cause I think he missed that memo. The whole time, Andrea's like, “I appreciate your effort, but please, for the love of God, stop messing with the equipment before you turn the filter into a Space X rocket.”And speaking of science experiments… let's talk tadpoles. RIP to those little guys. Yeah, apparently, while learning the ropes, the new guy thought it was totally normal to skim out frogs and their tiny swimming babies with, like, zero remorse. Andrea tried to stop him, but at some point, you gotta just let it happen and give the tadpoles a funeral they didn't ask for. "And here we lay these little amphibians to rest—plop—in the chlorine-soaked afterlife. May they hop in peace."Andrea and Paulette just wrap it up like, “So yeah, tadpoles dead, chlorine shortage is a concern, and this new guy… still has no idea what he's doing. But he's learning!” It's like a reality show where the stakes are lower, but the laughs are higher. Support the showThank you so much for listening!
