The one thing we don't discuss in this, our penultimate, recap of HBO's Task is that the title of episode 6 is a play on a line from a poem by the 13th century Persian poet Jelaluddin Rumi (sorry if you already knew that!). We just thought its meaning was self evident because there IS a river in this show.Here's what we do cover:* Goodnight, snickerdoodle* There are still more moles! Stop it! Enough! * Tom's search for a replacement son* Gertie's evocation as a Lego and what constitutes an impression of a chicken *Robbie's final moments. Golden Globe for Tom P or are we the only people watching this show? Get full access to Tell Me About Your Father at tellmeaboutyourfather.substack.com/subscribe
Double Tap Episode 431 This episode of Double Tap is brought to you by: Gideon Optics, Night Fision, Medical Gear Outfitters, Blue Alpha, and Bowers Group Welcome to Double Tap, episode 431! Your hosts tonight are Jeremy Pozderac, Aaron Krieger, Nick Lynch, and me Shawn Herrin, welcome to the show! -Pew.Deals -Krampus! Dear WLS OutLore: So... apart from Jeremy who doesn't use an optic on his EDC because we all know he's a manly hero man that don't need nothing more than iron sights. What optics do y'all run on your EDC guns? Not just "Swampfox" or "Gideon" just because they're sponsors.. if you're running a Trij or Vortex or Holosun or some other chinese crap or whatever, say so. Second to this, if the first question wasn't enough... what do you actually have in your rotation? For me it's Shield Plus, or M&P2.0 Fullsize depending on dress/weather. (That's how I'm dressed according to the weather, not whether I'm dressed at all, because if I'm naked then it's a Mossberg 590A1 and a Bodyguard in my prison pocket.) Jassnibbler: 22 cans. Rugged oculus vs bitty. ? I Need A Cool Name: Heritage rough rider (or similar, cheap .22 revolver), send out for barrel to be threaded, add suppressor. Yay or gay? Would that work and be quiet? How about drill and tap for red dot mount? Karl F: Hey guys, love the show, keep it up. There are many semiautomatic handguns that don't have manual safeties and personally I prefer them that way. I realized, however, that we rarely see semiautomatic rifles that lack manual safeties. Is there a reason for this, or perhaps am I just ignorant of their existence? Thanks #blamecanada Zac C: I have had this question on my mind for sometime, and it recently came back to me during your recent show with Night Fision. Why is it that so many gun companies and gun accessory companies reside in non gun friendly states? I can somewhat understand the older company's like Remington and Ruger, and until recently Smith and Wesson, as I assume they were there before the state went stupid. But why are companies like Night Fision starting up companies in states that don't support what they do. I know it easy for me to say move, but I wouldn't want to have my company in a state that is actively trying to shut down the very thing that puts food on my table. So why are companies in very well known non gun friendly states. Tom P: I am moving and I sold my gun safe. I am looking to get something like secureit gunstorage. Basically cabinets that are full strength but not fireproof. Im no poor, but I have a larger collection so I am hoping I can find something a little more affordable. Stack-On seem like trash, and secureit is the top end. Is there nothing in the middle? Have you seen or used anything else? I am currently using surplus weapons cabinet from the army - but they only fit shorter guns. I appreciate the time, -Tom Naught Gape Horn: What size suppressor would you use for a Remington 700 chambered in .22-250? The winner of this week's swag pack is Tom P!

“Co mám říct tomu Rafajovi?” Věta z rozhovoru, který v roce 2017 podle policejních odposlechů vedl Jaroslav Faltýnek, místopředseda hnutí ANO, se šéfem firmy Kapsch. Té firmy, která ve stejné době usilovala o jednu z největších veřejných zakázek své doby: tendr na mýtný systém pro české dálnice. Podle informací Seznam Zpráv Faltýnek bojoval za zájmy Kapsche a snažil se proto ovlivnit právě Petra Rafaje, předsedu Úřadu pro ochranu hospodářské soutěže. O čem všem se na policií monitorovaných schůzkách vysoce postavených politiků a státních úředníků mluvilo? A proč kauza nevyústila v trestní stíhání, přestože podle policejní analýzy došlo ke spáchání trestného činu?Host: Janek Kroupa - investigativní reportér Seznam ZprávČlánek a další informace najdete na webu Seznam ZprávySledujte nás na sociálních sítích X, Instagram, Threads nebo Bluesky.

Ministers from both sides of the divide are praising the Police for their handling of the Tom Phillips situation. The four-year manhunt for Phillips ended early on Monday, when he was shot and killed by Police after he shot at an officer in rural Waikato. The children were safely recovered and are in the care of Oranga Tamariki. Former Police Minister Ginny Andersen says authorities have been doing their best, during the four-year search for Phillips. She told Mike Hosking the area is very remote and a difficult part of the country to navigate, so she thinks the police did everything they could. Police Minister Mark Mitchell told Hosking the police have been outstanding, and the huge relief is having the children in a safe situation.
