Podcasts about Wedge

PACIFIC WATCHJeff Bliss, "Pacific Watch," and Michael Vlahos ("Germanicus"), join John Batchelor in a combined Pacific Watch and Londinium Chronicles session. Bliss reports on Southern California's intense high-pressure ridge and tropical moisture pushed up by storms off Mexico, creating a highly humid, Florida-like climate with inland desert temperatures consistently reaching 110 to 115 degrees. Off San Diego, ocean temperatures have surged to an unprecedented 79 degrees, sparking explosive growth in the stingray population, drawing in numerous great white and hammerhead sharks, and prompting massive tuna runs unlike anything in recent memory. At the Newport Harbor entrance, southern storms are generating massive swells that bounce off a stone jetty to create "the Wedge"—a notoriously dangerous surf spot where waves abruptly swell from 4-foot faces into towering 20-to-25-foot walls that break directly on the shore. Bliss then describes "dystopian" homeless encampments in Berkeley and Los Angeles that resemble scenes from Mad Max, enabled by local policies that do not roust campers and provide clean needles and meth pipes. Organized crime syndicates have begun controlling some of these spaces, renting out tent plots and broken-down RVs to the vulnerable, and the extreme lack of sanitation has triggered a modern typhus outbreak—prompting Bliss and Vlahos to compare the camps to ancient leper colonies and disease-ridden medieval crusader camps outside Constantinople. (1)LONDINIUM CHRONICLESGaius (John Batchelor) and Germanicus (Michael Vlahos): Meeting at their expanded wine bar by the Thames in 92 AD Londinium—amid first-century trademark disputes, Greek vintners, and the Eighth Legion—the hosts dissect contemporary international conflicts, arguing that the modern "emperor" is actively exacerbating chaos. They analyze the "phony war" dynamics of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, pointing to CIA Director Ratcliffe's unacknowledged mission to Moscow, Belarusian combat readiness drills, Polish tank movements along the Kaliningrad border, and Ukraine's severely depleted military budget. Germanicus predicts that the current global tension will not escalate into a global death spiral, but will instead end "not with a bang but a whimper" via the collapse and humiliation of American global power—much like the sudden and abrupt collapse of British imperial power in 1948.

Nine Mile Metals Ltd. (CSE:NINE, OTCQB:VMSXF, FRA:KQ9) CEO Patrick Cruickshank speaks to Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's first drill result from its 2026 program at the Wedge Mine deposit in Canada. The headline intercept is 24.55 true-width metres, which Cruickshank described as a very strong polymetallic VMS result, with copper, silver and gold grades strengthening at depth. Cruickshank explained that the Wedge Mine was originally in production in the late 1960s until a head pillar collapse ended operations, meaning only the top third of the deposit was ever mined. The current drill program is targeting beneath those old workings, with this hole drilled approximately 200 metres below the top of the deposit. The company is using fan drilling from multiple pads to systematically test the deposit, which dips at roughly 68 to 70 degrees from northeast to southwest. Holes are spaced 50 to 75 metres apart at depth despite being close together at surface. The team is now on hole 17, with additional samples submitted to the lab and results pending. All results are being fed into 3D modelling in preparation for an updated 43-101 mineral resource estimate. Cruickshank highlights the western side of the deposit, beyond a geological fault and away from potential voids in the old workings, as the next significant test. Total metres drilled are approaching 5,000.

Should the American Pope debate the American president about good and evil? The shameless Trump, one suspects, would relish a noisy cage match with a rival American celebrity. But Leo XIV has quietly declined the invitation — a refusal that the Catholic scholar Jack Hanson insists is neither cowardice nor convenience. Rather, as Hanson argues in this month's Harper's cover story, “Radical Reformation,” it's because the church has become the last global institution able to provide a coherent moral compass for our rootless times. The great irony, Hanson notes, is that the church was the first victim of the legitimacy conflagration now engulfing every other institution. His history begins in 1870, when Rome lost the Papal States and, for the first time in a millennium, had no earthly kingdom to defend. Ever since, the church has been reorienting itself — lately, against political, economic and military power. That opposition to worldly power was always a strand within the apostolic tradition, Hanson reminds us. Thus the Gospel's “antinomian communists” who stayed behind in plague cities, Thomas More's attack on private property, the 1891 Rerum Novarum, Dorothy Day, liberation theology. What's new is that the Vatican itself has embraced this political tradition of questioning Caesar. Then came 9/11. In the war on terror, Hanson argues, the secular West redefined its enemy not as a rival religion but as religion itself — and the church stopped being Western civilization's moral crown jewel. John Paul II's opposition to the Iraq War was a preview. Leo XIV's 40,000-word encyclical on AI — Magnifica Humanitas, complete with an apology for the church's role in slavery — is a more mature realization of this radical reformation. No wonder, then, that Leo has no interest in a cage match with Trump. “A direct debate with a president who's going to be out of office in a couple of years isn't in his interest. It's too small a task,” Hanson explains. As the latest in a very long line of God's representatives on earth, Leo is playing the long game. He can afford to wait out a noisy Caesar or two. Five Takeaways •       The Last Moral Voice. Institutional legitimacy — of churches, states, the organs of governance and community — is in free fall, and the great historical irony, Hanson argues, is that the Catholic Church was the first institution to face that crisis. When Rome lost the Papal States in 1870, it lost a thousand years of political centrality and has been reorienting itself ever since. Over the last twenty years, the church has ceased to see the West as its spiritual home and reconfigured itself as a genuinely global institution — positioned, almost paradoxically, against power as such. Which is how the paragon of institutional crisis has returned as maybe the last moral voice on the global stage.•       The Radical Tradition Was Always There. The subversive strain Hanson traces runs from the Gospel itself — the early Christians as “antinomian communists” who held everything in common and stayed behind in plague cities — through Thomas More's attack on the enclosures (the first great critique of private property in Western history), Leo XIII's 1891 Rerum Novarum, Dorothy Day's Catholic Worker, and Latin American liberation theology. Hanson doesn't flinch from the two Thomas Mores problem — the property radical was also a persecutor of heretics — because the church is full of sinners; you wouldn't need one otherwise. What's new is that the Vatican itself now orients toward the radical tradition rather than serving as the avatar of institutional power.•       9/11 Drove the Wedge. For most of the twentieth century the secular West treated the church as a civilizational feather in its cap. The war on terror changed that: the enemy was recast not as a rival religion but as religion as such — the new atheism was its rhetorical arm — and John Paul II's vociferous opposition to the Iraq War marked the rupture. Beneath it all, the secularization thesis (societies modernize, therefore secularize) had collapsed, its death usually dated to Iran in 1979. Reason and faith, Hanson argues, are far more intertwined than the twentieth century assumed — and, not coincidentally, the church and the left hit their historical nadirs together and are now showing signs of life together.•       Magnifica Humanitas: Arguing with the Machines. Leo XIV's 40,000-word encyclical on AI and humanity is remarkable, Hanson suggests, less for its conclusions than for its method: reasoned, humane argument addressed to people of all goodwill, in an age of universal bombast — from a leader with no personal stake in the outcome. It includes an apology for the church's involvement in slavery, an acknowledgment that the church itself once practiced the exclusionary humanism it now warns against. While subway billboards advise companies to “stop hiring human beings,” the church's real power, Hanson argues, is the legitimation of popular dissent: since Vatican II redefined the church as the People of God, the pope's voice works by inspiring people to find their own.•       Too Small a Task. Was the American pope elected to counter the American president? “His name wasn't mentioned once,” a conclave cardinal insisted — a denial Andrew files next to Casablanca's “shocked, shocked.” Either way, Leo refuses a direct debate with Trump, and Hanson insists this is the harder path, not the easier one: the pope aims to beat Trump on a higher register, shaping consciences in America and across the globe rather than winning a news cycle against a president who'll be gone in a couple of years. As for the evangelical prosperity gospel wing of MAGA: essentially in schism, Hanson says — not much to do with historical Christianity, politically or theologically. About the Guest Jack Hanson received his PhD in religious studies from Yale in 2024 and has taught there.

For years, he's been one of the standout Surfers in the lineup and is widely regarded as one of Newport Beach's brightest hopes for the Championship Tour.Over the past few seasons, he's been making a serious push on the WQS, and with the guidance of Brad Gerlach and WaveKi, his Surfing, strategy, and competitive mindset have reached a whole new level. Fresh off a huge victory at the Jack's Surfboards Pro in Huntington Beach just a couple of months ago, he's carrying major momentum into this season as he chases qualification for the Challenger Series.We're fired up to hear about his journey, his game plan, and what it's really like chasing the dream at the highest level. Please welcome to the show, Mr. Parker Cohn.

In this episode, we'll cover: The Power of Video Feedback: Joe discusses how utilizing a golf simulator at work and videotaping his swing helped him align "feel versus real," leading to a significant drop in his handicap over two years. Managing First-Tee Jitters: The pair explore Joe's recent struggle with topping tee shots on the first hole and discuss mental strategies, such as "no expectations" and utilizing a "performance bubble," to bridge the gap between the range and the course. Wedge Distance Mapping: Michael recommends Joe move beyond a purely "feel-based" approach by mapping out three specific distances for each wedge to improve consistency inside 100 yards. Mastering the Short Game in Arizona: Discussion centers on the challenges of tight lies and bunkers, with recommendations for seeking specialized in-person instruction to build confidence in difficult greenside situations. The Path to Improvement: Michael shares his personal decade-long journey to a lower handicap, emphasizing the importance of fitness, speed training, and diligent stat-tracking to identify and address weaknesses.

There's no business like the architecture business, and the AIA chose out first guest Carole Wedge as CEO to lead their 98,000 members. Architects Julia Jamrozik and Coryn Kempster make cool swing sets and pipe installations - and they wrote a book about kids who grew up in Modernist houses. Darcy Frank MacKay is one of those lucky kids.  She grew up in a 17,000-square-foot Pittsburgh house with a rooftop dance floor, an indoor swimming pool, and furniture designed by none other than Walter Gropius and Marcel Breuer.

SCHEDULE FOR THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 7-17-2026Jeff Bliss discusses California's controversial "billionaire tax," an initiative designed to bridge the state budget gap that has prompted a significant wealth exodus to states like Texas. He also addresses Governor Newsom's shifting stance on wealth taxes and the re-emergence of past personal and political scandals. (1)Jeff Bliss celebrates the anniversary of Disneyland's 1955 opening, sharing memories of working as a "Yodeler" on the Skyway ride. The conversation shifts to vintage Las Vegas and impending Southern California weather, including a tropical storm system expected to bring 30-foot waves to the Wedge. (2)Richard Epstein analyzes President Trump's recent address questioning the 2020 election results and its potential impact on the 2026 midterms. Epstein explores the constitutional difficulties of removing a president for lack of judgment, arguing that political consequences remain the most viable remedy for irrational leadership. (3)Richard Epstein discusses his book on birthright citizenship, challenging the Supreme Court's interpretation of the 14th Amendment. He addresses the phenomenon of "birth tourism," the status of foreign-raised US citizens, and the relative silence from liberal scholars regarding his arguments on federal plenary power over naturalization. (4)Jim McTague reports on how Canadian wildfire smoke has stifled Lancaster County's tourist economy and created hazardous air quality. He also highlights rising gas prices and a local backlash against AI, where a borough rejected substantial revenue from a tech center due to automation fears. (5)Lorenzo Fiori describes Italy's extreme heatwave, with temperatures reaching 122 degrees, followed by the threat of violent thunderstorms. For relief, he recommends Radicofani in Tuscany, showcasing its medieval fortress, world-class olive oil, and traditional recipes like gratinated tomatoes paired with local Brunello wine. (6)Bob Zimmerman details SpaceX's launch abort for the Starship Super Heavy and the ongoing struggles of ULA.

(9)Alan Mikhail examines Peter Stuyvesant's hardline enforcement of the Dutch Reformed Church, including the violent persecution of Quakers and anti-Semitic attempts to banish Jewish settlers. The segment highlights the 1657 Flushing Remonstrance as an early, essential document in the American history of religious toleration. (10)Alan Mikhail describes how, as the English seized New Amsterdam in 1664, Anthony and Grietje transitioned into respectable property owners who aged into the colony's social fabric. Mikhail argues that these individuals, alongside long-resident enslaved figures like Mary Angola, should be recognized as the true founders of New York City. (11)Alan Mikhail relates how, following Grietje's death, Anthony remarried a burgher woman, reflecting his elevated social status despite earlier prejudices. Mikhail frames Anthony's life as a vital starting point for discussing Islam in North America, noting the parallels between historical biases and the challenges modern Muslim leaders face today. (12)Henry Sokolski discusses the security implications of a power outage at a US missile base, warning that electrical grids are now primary targets in "gray warfare." He notes that nations like Russia and Iran increasingly view civilian infrastructure as legitimate military targets to spread mayhem and leverage power. (13)Henry Sokolski analyzes the "Golden Dome" project, suggesting its true value lies in achieving space superiority rather than just missile defense. He emphasizes the need for passive defenses, like redundant transformers and public preparedness, to counter the rising threat of autonomous drone swarms and precision attacks. (14)Lilla Nóra Kiss warns about Nuctech, a Chinese-subsidized company dominating the European scanner market through predatory pricing. She highlights the security risks of allowing CCP-linked technology to handle sensitive border and cargo data, noting the company's origins at Tsinghua University and its opaque state support.

In this episode of the Power Producers Podcast, David Carothers welcomes Jesse Dantice to discuss why claims management is one of the most underutilized sales strategies in middle market commercial insurance. Drawing from his experience as both an agency owner and the founder of Zenjuries, Jess explains how producers can use claims data, lag-time reporting, and proactive claims management to differentiate themselves from competitors and create immediate value for prospects. David and Jess dive into the emotional side of claims, explaining that business owners don't buy insurance because they love policies—they buy insurance because they're afraid of the financial impact of a claim. The conversation explores how producers can use experience mod audits, injury reports, and real-time claims technology to uncover hidden problems, engage business owners emotionally, and position themselves as trusted advisors rather than commodity insurance brokers.

Professional pedicab driver Phil Schwartz shares his knowledge of the mean streets of Minneapolis and allows us to experience every pothole on the 90+ year old Lyndale Avenue. While doing the complete Lake-to-Hennepin-to-Lyndale circuit around the Wedge neighborhood, we check out the new Hennepin Avenue and see what's possible on a reconstructed Lyndale Avenue. On Thursday the Minneapolis City Council will vote on whether to accept the county's plan to redo the street beginning in 2028. If the council doesn't vote yes, that could mean forfeiting $9 million in federal funding and letting the street and underground infrastructure continue to crumble. Thank you to cohost Brian Mitchell for putting his butt on the line as we bounced on all those potholes.Watch: https://youtube.com/wedgeliveJoin the conversation: https://bsky.app/profile/wedge.liveSupport the show: https://patreon.com/wedgeliveWedge LIVE theme song by Anthony Kasper x LaFontsee

Send us Fan MailFour cans, one golf-course scale, and a heat wave that makes every sip count. We're cracking open the TK Mulligans Caddie Pack and giving each ready-to-drink vodka cocktail the only test that matters: does it taste good cold, does it stay drinkable halfway through, and would we actually bring it to the course? We start with The Crush, an orange-forward canned cocktail that hits like a laid-back brunch drink, then move into the Transfusion, where the grape flavor feels instantly familiar but the finish sparks a real argument about aftertaste and “Jesus juice” vibes.From there, the night turns into the kind of hang you can't script. We break down a brisket dinner that's all about building a pan sauce with onions, garlic, red wine, and broth, plus ideas for taking it into fall with a Dutch oven, mashed potatoes, or a shepherd's pie-style bake. We also talk summer heat and work, what it's like when the heat index is miserable, and why cooling down and electrolytes matter more than people admit.In the back half, we taste the Wedge sparkling lemonade and the Dogwood lemonade, compare carbonation versus a flatter finish, and lock in final ratings for the full pack. Then we pull out “Ricky's bad questions,” which leads to a string of stories that are equal parts ridiculous and brutally honest.
