We discuss the AL MVP race, where Cal Raleigh's breakout season has turned what looked like Aaron Judge's award into a real two-man dogfight. Then we pivot to Luka Doncic's fast start, he has opened the season playing at a full-blown MVP level and reshaping expectations for the Lakers. We also discuss the NFC West, breaking down everything that makes this week's Rams vs Seahawks matchup one of the most impactful games of the season, from quarterback play to defensive depth. We've got stats, bold predictions, and some West Coast bias sprinkled in for good measure.

Andrea Samadi reflects on seven years hosting the Neuroscience Meets SEL podcast and celebrates reaching 500,000 downloads. She shares seven strategies—clarifying mission and vision, defining the audience, setting measurable goals, creating systems, staying mission-driven, building partnerships, and building momentum—and eight personal lessons learned, including the power of practice, research, adaptation, and praxis. This episode offers practical, science-backed guidance for anyone looking to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, well-being, and long-term results. On today's episode #377, we cover a break from our interviews, with a celebration episode! ✔ 7 Strategies that took our podcast from 0-500,000 downloads (including clarifying our mission, vision, defining our audience, setting measurable goals, creating systems, staying mission-driven, and building partnerships). ✔ 8 Personal Lessons learned over the past 7 years (including the power of spaced repetition, research, adaptation and praxis). Welcome back to SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, and seven years ago, launched this podcast with a question I had never truly asked myself before: (and that is) If productivity and results matter to us—and they do now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, results, or well-being. About a decade ago, I became fascinated by the mind-brain-results connection—and how science can be applied to our everyday lives. That's why I've made it my mission to bring you the world's top experts—so together, we can explore the intersection of science and social-emotional learning. We'll break down complex ideas and turn them into practical strategies we can use every day for predictable, science-backed results. For today's EP #377 we will take a break from our interview reviews, and look back over the past 7 years, and 14 Seasons, as we hit an important milestone in the podcasting world, our 500,000th download. I remember when we hit the 300,000th marker, back in March 2023[i] we reflected back on the lessons learned in our first 4 years of hosting this podcast. I remember looking at the next milestone of half a million, thinking it was such a distance from where we currently were. It just took 3 years to get here, and now we have our eye on the next 500,000 downloads, which from here, looks like a lifetime away. As we reflect back over the past 7 years, many of our strategies remain the same as when we first began. Some strategies we did have to change. We reviewed some of these concepts on EP 279[ii] back in March 2023. As we review what got us here, I think that these strategies can be applied to anything we are doing, with a long-term vision. 7 STRATEGIES WE USED TO HIT THE 500K DOWNLOAD MILESTONE 1. Know Your Mission (What You're Doing) The mission of the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning podcast is to bridge the gap between neuroscience research and practical applications in education, business, and personal development. The podcast shares insights, strategies, and best practices to enhance learning, performance, and well-being by integrating neuroscience (which we like to make simple) and connecting it to social and emotional skills (SEL). Our goal is to provide valuable information listeners can apply in their work and personal lives to achieve peak performance and overall self-improvement, with a deeper understanding of how our brain works — something many of us were never taught in school. When the mission is clear, anything outside of this mission — applying neuroscience made simple to our daily lives — wasn't a match. This clarity helps maintain focus and ensures that all efforts align with creating tangible, positive outcomes. It's what keeps us consistent, translating complex scientific insights into actionable practices that lead to meaningful improvements in how we think, learn, and interact. From the very beginning, each guest spoke on a topic aligned with current neuroscience research. Each season was shaped by a framework connecting the six social and emotional learning competencies with foundational brain concepts — what I called Neuroscience 101, based on what I learned while studying with neuroscience researcher Mark Waldman.[iii] That's how our seasons were created. Make This Actionable: Do you have a clearly defined Mission of WHAT you do? 2. Know Your Vision with a Clear Why Your vision is why you do what you do. Once you know what you want to do, ask yourself — do you know why? This is probably the number one question I get asked when people hear that I host a podcast. They'll say, “Why? What made you decide to do this? Why did you launch a podcast?” It's a long story (I'll keep it short). When I purchased a website in January 2019, it came with a podcasting theme. The developer told me I could delete it, but I was already interviewing people for my work in schools — I just wasn't releasing that content publicly. A few months later, I wanted to present these ideas at a conference, but I was told I'd have to pay to present. That felt wrong — why pay to share the work I'd spent years developing? So, I decided instead to launch the podcast in June 2019. From the beginning, the podcast was meant to be a give-back — a way for anyone to learn these ideas without paying for access. To this day, it remains ad-free for that reason. My friend and long-time supporter, Greg Wolcott (Assistant Superintendent from Chicago, Illinois, Episode 7[iv]), reminded me how far the show has reached — now in over 190 countries — compared to the 50–100 people who might have attended that conference I wanted to present at. I truly believe that what's meant to happen will happen. As my dad would say in his Scottish accent: “What's for you, won't go by you.” So, with your vision, ask yourself: Do you know why you are doing what you do? I often go back to Part 6[v] of our Think and Grow Rich book study, where I dedicated an episode to my mentor, Bob Proctor. He always reminded us that our mission — whatever we want to achieve — becomes possible only once we first of all believe it's possible. He'd say: “What story do you want to tell? What scenes do you want to shoot? How do you want the movie to end? Be the director of your life.” Once you can clearly see something on the screen of your mind, (Your Mission) the next step is to bring that vision into reality. (Your Vision). That's exactly how this podcast began — with a clear mission and vision that led to action. Make This Actionable: Do you have a clearly written VISION of why you do what you do? 3. Clarify Your “What” and “Who” After defining your why and what you envision, identify: What exactly you're creating (e.g., “a neuroscience and education podcast”). Who it's for — your specific audience or community. I wanted our audience to reach outside of schools, into sports and the modern workplace. I remember a few people telling me to stick to one audience, and I just couldn't do it. I had a broader vision. Ask yourself: Who will benefit most from my message? What do they struggle with, and how can my work help?
Would you be surprised to learn that the top five degrees in demand in the US are in healthcare, technology, engineering, business, and mathematics? Probably not. But as AI is introduced into nearly every facet of the workplace, college admission managers and HR directors are increasingly pointing to the importance of soft skills, the personal attributes and interpersonal abilities that define how you interact with others in the workplace. In the workplace of the future, they say, employers will seek out employees who demonstrate superb communication, teamwork, and problem-solving abilities. Yet, our nation’s best colleges and universities don’t offer degrees in active listening or collaboration, do they? So what is an incoming freshman to do? My two lunch guests,Travis Noote of Boomerang Comedy Club, and Terence Delaine of NO Show Comedy, would say take a class in improv. Or explore stand up. Travis Noote fell in love with comedy in 2013 and became a devotee to improv, a form of live theatre in which the plot, characters, and dialogue are made up spontaneously by the performers at the moment of performance. Travis took improv classes in South Carolina, Atlanta, and Savannah before moving to Baton Rouge to be closer to family. As he’d done in other cities, Travis signed up for and was taking classes at the Latco theatre, which he learned was going to dissolve soon. So, acting a bit on a whim and with a good deal of spontaneity, in 2022 Travis took the reins of the Latco venue and founded The Boomerang Comedy Theater, effectively turning a hobby into a 9-5 job. If you are further in your comedic studies and perhaps pine for larger audiences on the West Coast, then Terence Delaine of NO Show Comedy is your man. No Show is a live production company operating in Los Angeles and Louisiana, hosting a monthly show at Squeaky Pete's in downtown Baton Rouge, as well as frequent shows at The Station. A native of Lake Charles, Terence has degrees in political science and public administration and a full-time job at the United Way. He's been working as a stand up comic for more than a decade. Terence recorded a comedy special album that will soon be released on all streaming sites, including YouTube. Living in Louisiana, when it comes to entertainment we often think of Baton Rouge as playing second fiddle to New Orleans. Well, that's the role people put Chicago in for years, in relation to New York City. But it might be worth pointing out that some of the nation's most famous and memorable comics, like Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi, Steve Carell, Chris Farley, Tina Fey, Bill Murray, Catherine O’Hara, and Joan Rivers got their start at Chicago’s Second City, which recently celebrated 65 years of business. It will be interesting to see who comes out of the Baton Rouge comedy scene in the next 5 or 6 years. Out to Lunch is recorded live over lunch at Mansurs on the Boulevard.

In this episode of The Edible Valley Podcast, hosts Chef Jonathan Frazier sit down with Chef Avi Sternberg, fresh from his appearance at the Vines & Tides Harvest Dinner at 40 Knots Winery. The conversation goes beyond the event to explore Avi's fascinating culinary path — from his roots in Colorado to his time training and working in Japan, and finally, to finding his home and inspiration in Powell River, British Columbia. Avi shares how his international experiences shaped his philosophy on food, from the discipline and respect for ingredients he learned in Japan to the creativity and community focus he's discovered on the West Coast. His story is one of adventure, adaptability, and a lifelong pursuit of flavour and meaning through cooking. This episode offers an inspiring look at how one chef's global journey has led to a deep connection with the people, place, and produce of coastal BC - blending international technique with the spirit of local cuisine.
California Politics and West Coast Issues. Jeff Bliss reports on California Governor Gavin Newsom's successful Proposition 50 to reshape congressional districts, a move linked to increasing Newsom's presidential visibility. Newsom's public persona is increasingly marked by anger and profanity aimed at political opponents. Other issues include Las Vegas resorts reconsidering "nickel-and-diming" practices, ongoing regulatory hurdles delaying rebuilding in Maui, and routine fires in LA's growing homeless encampments.

Newsom's public persona is increasingly marked by anger and profanity aimed at political opponents. Other issues include Las Vegas resorts reconsidering "nickel-and-diming" practices, ongoing regulatory hurdles delaying rebuilding in Maui, and routine fires in LA's growing homeless encampments. 915-930 Canadian Politics, US Trade Relations, and Energy Pipeline Development. Conrad Black discusses a domestic Canadian political misunderstanding involving Prime Minister Mark Carney and Premier Doug Ford over an anti-tariff ad that annoyed President Trump. The focus shifts to Canadian energy policy, noting the need for new pipelines to move oil from Alberta east, west, and south. Carney's government has tentatively agreed to approve a second pipeline to northern British Columbia, which would more than double the daily oil shipment capacity to the west. 930-945 Supreme Court Arguments on Presidential Tariff Authority and NYC Mayor-Elect. Professor Richard Epstein analyzes Supreme Court arguments regarding the President's expansive use of a 1977 law to impose tariffs, predicting a likely 7-2 ruling against the administration. Epstein argues that viewing successful worldwide trade as an "emergency" is intellectually flawed and an abuse of executive discretion. Separately, he expresses concern that New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, a self-proclaimed socialist lacking administrative experience, risks impoverishing the city by ignoring competitive federalism. 945-1000 Supreme Court Arguments on Presidential Tariff Authority and NYC Mayor-Elect.

SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Economic Slowdown and Election Observations in Indiana and Pennsylvania. Jim McTague identifies signs of an economic slowdown affecting people beyond the lowest economic rung. Restaurant business in Indiana is down 3 to 5%, and expensive home renovations have "dried up." Costco shoppers are exhibiting extreme caution, buying essentials with little impulse spending. In Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, a large turnout resulted in Democratic victories, suggesting voter reaction against local Republicans perceived as "Trumpists." Anticipated layoffs at Amazon and Walmart are expected to impact local employment. 1015-1030 Italian Defense Strategy and the Geopolitical Situation. Lorenzo Fiori discusses Italy's defense buildup using EU loan deals to acquire new armored vehicles from Germany's Rheinmetall through a joint venture with Leonardo. This modernization is crucial as Italy is strategically situated near the Ukrainian conflict and faces risks from troubled North African countries, particularly potential Russian influence in Libya. Although the military is needed for disaster relief, public opinion often remains against increasing defense expenditures. 1030-1045 Spacefaring News: NASA, SpaceX Records, and Global Space Issues. Bob Zimmerman reports on the renomination of Jared Isaacman as NASA administrator following a previous withdrawal. SpaceX is setting new launch records, aiming for close to 180 launches this year, though an FAA launch curfew might jeopardize this prediction. Other topics include Boeing avoiding criminal charges regarding the 737 Max crashes, opposition to the EU Space Act, Starlab's commercial space station development, and China's stranded crew due to space debris damage to their Shenzhou capsule. 1045-1100 Spacefaring News: NASA, SpaceX Records, and Global Space Issues.

THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Augustine's Response to the Sack of Rome and Theological Battles. Professor Katherine Conybeare discusses Augustine, the African, and his response to the 410 AD sacking of Rome, which motivated him to write The City of God. The work defends Christianity by arguing Rome was always vulnerable. The source also covers the "rigged" Council of Carthage against the Donatists, Augustine's role in developing the just war theory, and his debate against Pelagianism, which led to the formulation of original sin, transmitted through sexual intercourse. 1115-1130 1130-1145 1145-1200 FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 Nuclear Proliferation Concerns Regarding Small Modular Reactors and Weapons Testing. Henry Sokolski raises proliferation concerns about Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) using High-Assay Low-Enriched Uranium (HALEU) fuel (20% enriched). Declassified cables from 1954 and 1977 suggested that uranium above 10% requires special concern, demanding a review before SMRs are exported. Sokolski also clarifies that US maintenance of its nuclear arsenal relies on non-critical tests and simulations, not full-yield explosions, though adversaries may be conducting critical tests. 1215-1230 Nuclear Proliferation Concerns Regarding Small Modular Reactors and Weapons Testing.

Richard Smith compares the space race between Elon Musk's SpaceX ("the hare") and Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin ("the tortoise"). Blue Origin operates under the cautious motto Gradatim Ferociter, funded by Bezos's personal wealth, aiming to move heavy industry off Earth. SpaceX is driven by Musk's "existential" goal to make humanity interplanetary, operating with urgency. SpaceX ensures independence by funding its ambitious projects, including Starship, through the revenue generated by Starlink. 1245-100 AM The Trillion-Dollar Space Race: Musk (Hare) vs. Bezos (Tortoise).

Ron always says that I'm his favorite West Coast Witch although I'm not sure that he knows any witches on the West Coast so I'm not sure it's true, but I do know that Ron knows quite a few East Coast witches, and have no doubt that Judika is his favorite East Coast witch.
Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's the team's Week 10 game against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday Night Football. The Chargers have the sixth-worst run defense in the league by yards per carry, and while Jaylen Warren had only 31 yards against the Indianapolis Colts last week, getting him going looks like the key to another West Coast win.

Heading into their Week 10 bye on November 7, 2025, the Cincinnati Bengals sit at 3-6, a record that masks a tale of two teams: an offense firing on all cylinders under Joe Flacco's steady hand, and a defense that's not just bad—it's etching itself into the annals of NFL infamy. Paul Brown Stadium buzzes with cautious optimism for the attack, but the back end's collapse has fans dreaming of duct tape and prayer. Joe Flacco, the 40-year-old bridge quarterback thrust into the spotlight amid Joe Burrow's latest injury woes, has been nothing short of revelatory. In six starts, he's posted a 105.2 passer rating, slicing defenses with a 71% completion clip and 12 touchdowns to just three picks. His pocket presence—honed from two Super Bowl runs—has unlocked the Bengals' weapons. Ja'Marr Chase is a one-man highlight reel, scorching secondaries for 1,100 yards and nine scores, while Tee Higgins' midseason return has added a vertical terror, averaging 18 yards per catch. The run game? Revitalized, with Chase Brown pounding out 650 yards at 5.2 per carry, feeding off an offensive line that's gelled into a mauling unit. They've erupted for 31 points per game over the last four outings, turning shootouts into symphonies. Flacco's veteran savvy—calling audibles like a chess master—has this group humming, a far cry from the Burrow-less sputters of years past. Yet, for all the offensive fireworks, the defense is a dumpster fire of historic proportions. Surrendering 35 points per contest—the worst in franchise lore and bottom-feeder league-wide—they've allowed 4,200 total yards already, more than most full seasons. The secondary is Swiss cheese: corners like Cam Taylor-Britt and Mike Hilton torched for 1,200 passing yards and 12 TDs, with safeties Vonn Bell and Jordan Battle whiffing tackles like pros at a piñata party. Up front, the pass rush is anemic—eight sacks total, none from a depleted D-line missing B.J. Hill to injury. Run stuffers? Laughable, coughing up 160 yards per game on the ground. Lou Anarumo's schemes look like relics from the West Coast offense era. Zac Taylor's squad enters the break with a prayer: harness the bye for scheme tweaks and youth infusions. Offense can carry them to 9-8 and a wild-card sniff, but without defensive voodoo—trades? Miracles?—this Bengal pride risks another winter of what-ifs. Flacco's magic buys time, but history whispers: firepower alone doesn't forge rings. Fans roar for resurrection; the D must awaken, or it's just Bengal fireworks fizzling in the Ohio chill Music from #InAudio: https://inaudio.org/ Track Name Holy (Trap).

Coby White has spoken — and Bulls fans need to hear him. In today's episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down Coby White's strong message to the media about why he fits perfectly with the Bulls' current system. No ball-stopping. No ego. No friction. Just quick decisions, winning basketball, and a player who understands his role on an elite offensive unit.We dive into why the narrative surrounding Coby White's “fit” is outdated, how his post-All-Star numbers (24.5 PPG on nearly 50% shooting) back up his claim, and why adding him back into this rotation won't disrupt the team's flow — it'll enhance it.Then, Haize turns toward Coby's potential return on the upcoming West Coast trip, what his recovery looks like, and why the Bulls need him back during this brutal four-game stretch.Finally, we preview Bulls vs Bucks — a matchup that will test Chicago's three-point defense, rebounding discipline, and overall activity. Giannis is playing like an MVP, the Bucks offense is humming, and the defense is flimsy. If the Bulls want to win, they'll have to outwork Milwaukee in every category.High-level insight. Real Bulls talk. No fluff.

主播:Flora(中国)+ Selah(美国) 音乐:Comfortable最近在国内卷起了一股“老钱风”。我们今天就来聊一聊,到底什么是“老钱风”呢?01. The Popular Old Money Style 受欢迎的老钱风“老钱”的翻译很直白,就是“old money”。那“老钱风”我们可以将它翻译为“old money aesthetic”,也叫“老钱美学”。The old money aesthetic is basically everywhere online. There is even a thing called “老钱风笑声(old money laugh)”. 在Tiktok上就有一些相关视频:一般都是在高尔夫球场上(on the golf course),视频中的人发出old money laugh的同时,会有各种奢侈的场景闪过。主播Selah就曾刷到过一个搞笑的(hilarious)视频:a rich man laughing with his cat on the golf course. “Old money(老钱)”它不仅是一种财富背景,也是一种生活方式和美学。02. What Exactly is Old Money? 什么是老钱风?“Old money”和普通的money还不一样,因为the money is old!这个“老钱”指的是几代人传承下来的传统富裕阶层(families who have had wealth for many generations),通常是通过家族继承、土地、投资等积累财富。It's inherited (继承下的) wealth, which is very different from “new money (新贵)”. “New money”就是指那些靠个人努力或新兴产业(newer industries)致富的人,比如,从事互联网行业、在娱乐圈工作的人,或者是成为体育明星的人。Old money和new money所以虽然都是“money”,但他们在观念、生活方式甚至是穿衣风格上都会有所差别。这几个场景绝对是old money的代表:私人飞机(private jets)、游艇(yachts)、庄园(family estates),还有马球比赛(polo matches)。But what's funny is - they never show off (炫耀)!02. The Old Money Lifestyle “老钱”的生活方式Their wealth is quiet, elegant (优雅的), and subtle (含蓄的). Even their laughter sounds sophisticated (高级的). Old money的精髓就在于虽然他们坐拥财富但从不炫耀,有一种“低调的优雅(quiet elegance)”。There's a phrase: “Money talks. Wealth whispers. (金钱喧闹,财富低语。)” 这是一种“安静的奢华(quiet luxury)”。It perfectly captures the idea of old money. 那为什么quiet luxury现在这么流行呢?因为那些flashy trends大家都看多了,people are tired of them,所以才会格外喜欢old money aesthetic——这种平静(calm)、永恒(timeless)还有点神秘色彩(mysterious)的风格。Flash:闪光灯那么flashy就是指闪光的、炫技的或者是浮华的。“老钱风”穿搭的精髓:风格极简(minimalism)1) 色彩以中性或大地色(neutral or earthy tones)为主2) 线条干净简洁(clean lines)3) 高质量面料(high-quality fabrics)最后这一点特别重要,高质量的面料可能没有那种大logo,但是一眼看上去就让人知道:这绝对不便宜(That outfit was definitely expensive)。This is what people call “quiet luxury (静奢风)”. 其实老钱不光是一种穿搭,it's also about how you carry yourself (展示自己). It's about attitude (态度) — calm, confident, polite.03. Old Money vs. New Money in Movies 经典影视里的“老钱”与“新贵”主播Flora发现在很多经典影片里都能找到Old money的身影。比如:在律政俏佳人(Legally Blonde)里,女主的男友就来自老牌政治世家。但由于当时他觉得和女主不是“门当户对”,于是就和女主提分手了(break up)。电影中男主有一句台词是:“East Coast people are different.”。East Coast(东海岸)就是美国“old money”的地盘(the home turf),像the Kennedys, the Rockefellers, the Vanderbilts等,这些都是老牌世家。Meanwhile, the West Coast (西海岸) is the home turf of “new money”. 科技界的亿万富翁(tech billionaires),movie stars,athletes(运动员),基本上都在高科技产业闻名的Silicon Valley(硅谷),还有以电影业出名的Hollywood(好莱坞)这些区域。在另一部电影The Great Gatsby(《了不起的盖茨比》)当中也能看到“old money”和“new money”的对比:1) 电影中的Tom Buchanan - old money 2) 小李子饰演的Gatsby - new money但尽管Gatsby再努力融入(trying to fit in)那个“老钱”的世界,he is still an outsider (局外人)。04. The Composed Aura of Old Money 老钱风的“从容”气场Old money is not only about the money, the cloths, and also the background (背景) and manners (礼仪). “老钱”有自己的一整套生活方式(a whole lifestyle)。它包括健康的皮肤(healthy skin)、自律(discipline),你受过的教育(education)以及quiet confidence。所有这一切blend together(结合在一起), 才会形成一种自如的优雅(a natural elegance)。Quite confidence:沉着的自信它来自你内心深处,无需要言语、行动来证明。It's about taking care of yourself, being grounded, and never trying too hard. 不刻意、不浮夸,那份“从容”才是old money最吸引人的地方。Everyone can have that vibe (气场)! 你只要穿出自我、获得自洽(stay calm and confident),这本身就是一种“old money气场”。或者,你能在old money之外找到自己的风格,这种从容和自洽也正是old money aesthetic的核心所在。

The November 6 edition of the AgNet News Hour packed plenty of passion and perspective as hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill discussed everything from the FFA Golden Owl Awards to the fallout of Proposition 50, and featured an insightful interview with Nanette Simonian, President-Elect of the California Women for Agriculture (CWA). The show began with a look at the FFA's Golden Owl Award, which recognizes exceptional agricultural educators across California. Nominations are now open for the 2025–26 awards, a joint effort between Nationwide Insurance and the California Farm Bureau. “Without great ag teachers, there's no FFA,” McGill said. “They're the ones inspiring the next generation to love agriculture.” Each finalist will receive a plaque and $500, and the winning teacher will earn an additional $3,000 to support ag education in their community. From there, Papagni and McGill tackled the hot-button topic of Proposition 50, which passed narrowly in California's latest election. Both hosts expressed frustration with the measure, calling it “another case of misleading messaging.” Papagni warned that the new law could reshape political representation in a way that harms rural voices. “This will hurt the Central Valley,” he said. “It's about power, not people.” McGill agreed, adding that the vote may trigger other states to redistrict in response. To expand on that conversation, the hosts brought in Nanette Simonian, who serves as Marketing Development Manager for EarthSoft and was recently elected President of the California Women for Agriculture. A lifelong farmer and Fresno native, Simonian spoke candidly about CWA's firm stance against Prop 50. “We already have a bipartisan redistricting system that works,” she said. “Prop 50 hands control to people who don't understand agriculture — people from the coast making decisions for farmers in the Valley.” Simonian, who comes from a multi-generational farm family, said her agricultural roots drive her passion for advocacy. “Farming isn't just a job — it's who we are,” she said. “It's labor-intensive, complex, and deeply personal. You have to have it in your blood to understand it.” She emphasized that CWA will continue to fight for policies that protect farming families and preserve local control. Beyond politics, Simonian also discussed her work with EarthSoft and their Seasol seaweed-based plant products, which improve stress tolerance and root development. She praised her colleagues Caroline and Greg, who work across the West Coast to support sustainable crop growth and share new technologies with independent consultants through groups like the Association of Applied IPM Entomologists (AAIE). Simonian closed with a message of stewardship and education: “We need to teach the next generation why we farm the way we do. Whether it's 4-H, FFA, or CWA, it's all about preserving agriculture through knowledge.” Papagni summed up the interview with admiration: “Nanette is the definition of leadership — she's living the values that keep California agriculture strong.”

A Note from JamesTupac Shakur—one of the greatest rap artists ever—was shot and killed almost two decades ago. What else is there left to say about him? What new things can be said?Well, Jeff Pearlman's new book, Only God Can Judge Me: The Many Lives of Tupac Shakur, takes on that challenge. In our conversation, we talk about what Jeff uncovered in his research, why he wanted to write another Tupac book, and what made this one different.But first, a little story. Back in the '90s, I was running a company that built websites. Around 1997 or '98, Tupac's mom wanted to release a new album of his music and build a website around it. I went in to pitch the project—$90,000, which would've covered payroll for another month. I needed that deal.So I show up, ready to impress. Tupac's manager says, “Okay, here's my computer. Show me what you've got.” And I realize—I've never used a Windows machine in my life. I'd only ever used Macs. I couldn't even figure out how to turn it on.I had a computer science degree. I was a software engineer. I'd been running this company for years. But in that moment, I had to admit: “I don't know how to use this machine.” He laughed me out of the room. Literally.That was the day I learned that even the smartest pitch can fall apart if you forget to check which operating system you're using.Anyway—what else is there to talk about with Tupac Shakur? Jeff Pearlman and I figured it out.Episode DescriptionIn this episode, James sits down with bestselling author and journalist Jeff Pearlman (The Last Folk Hero, Showtime, Sweetness) to talk about his latest book, Only God Can Judge Me: The Many Lives of Tupac Shakur.Pearlman explores the contradictions, brilliance, and tragedy of Tupac's life—how a performing arts kid from Baltimore became the poetic voice of West Coast hip hop, and how his complex identity was shaped by the Black Panther movement, celebrity culture, and the rise of gangsta rap.James and Jeff unpack Tupac's evolution from Digital Underground hype man to solo artist, his influence on music and film, and the deeper meaning behind songs like Brenda's Got a Baby. They also trace the events leading up to his death, separating myth from reality, and reflect on what Tupac's legacy might have become if he'd lived.What You'll LearnWhy Tupac's “gangster” persona was more performance than realityHow his upbringing under a Black Panther mother shaped his worldviewThe untold story behind Brenda's Got a Baby—and how Pearlman found the real “baby” years laterThe truth about Tupac's relationship with Biggie Smalls and the events that led to both of their deathsWhy Tupac might have gone on to become a political or cultural leader, not just a rapperHow hip hop evolved from the storytelling of the '90s to today's more fragmented soundTimestamped Chapters[00:00] Introduction – James shares his connection to Tupac's world [02:43] A Note from James – The web pitch that went wrong [05:00] Why Jeff Pearlman wrote a Tupac book [07:00] The challenge of writing outside his comfort zone [09:00] Tupac's background and the myth of the “gangsta” image [11:00] The evolution of rap from the '80s to now [16:00] What made Tupac's art different from his peers [18:30] Tupac as a natural actor—and how he almost won an Oscar [21:00] Was his “gangster” side authentic or performance?

Okay, I wasn't anywhere near there. I was in the southwest part of the city. I wasn't getting involved in any protests.” — Michael Rubiano [40:58] “In the protests that were taking place on that Monday, — 19 people were killed, which set everything ablaze.” — Michael Rubiano [42:30] “A mob mentality takes on a life of its own. What started out as protests about corruption and nepotism and lack of job opportunities, lack of economic opportunity blew up, and all of a sudden you don't know which end is up.” — Michael Rubiano [48:53] “In my mind, if hotel staff are bolting out of the kitchen, I'd better get up back to my 14th-floor room. That is the first time that I said, ‘Okay, the danger is getting close to home.'” — Michael Rubiano [49:59] “When I went down to breakfast the next day at the hotel, I made sure to take my backpack, because what happens if something happens and I can't get back up to the 14th floor? So that backpack went with me everywhere.” — Michael Rubiano [58:14] “The hotel staff of the Hyatt Centric [were still] taking care of us when they had their own families and other worries to be concerned with. They were always making sure that we had food.

In this episodem we explore the remarkable journey of Bernie Leadon, the multi-instrumentalist and songwriter whose artistry helped define The Eagles' early sound. Often called the unsung hero of The Eagles, Bernie's contributions — from intricate guitar and banjo work to his soaring harmonies — helped shape a sound that has resonated for decades.From his early exposure to bluegrass and folk music in Minneapolis to his groundbreaking work in the West Coast country-rock scene, Bernie Leadon has remained a quiet but powerful force in American music. In this episode, we follow Bernie's path before, during, and after The Eagles, all the way to his most recent solo album, where he revisits the roots that first inspired him.Bernard Leadon III was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, into a family that encouraged both creativity and education. While his father worked as an aeronautical engineer and his mother was a teacher, it was the sounds of bluegrass, folk, and country that truly captured young Bernie's imagination.By his teenage years, Bernie had mastered guitar, banjo, mandolin, and dobro, instruments that would become central to his career. After moving to San Diego, he immersed himself in the local music scene, connecting with influential figures like Chris Hillman and Gram Parsons, who would later become pivotal in the country-rock movement.Before joining The Eagles, Bernie Leadon played in several key bands that helped define the emerging country-rock genre. He worked with Hearts & Flowers, Dillard & Clark, and most famously, The Flying Burrito Brothers. During this period, Bernie became known as a musician who could add texture and authenticity to any song. His instrumental versatility and collaborative spirit made him highly sought after, setting the stage for his next big move.In 1971, Bernie Leadon joined Glenn Frey, Don Henley, and Randy Meisner to form The Eagles. His influence was immediate. On the band's debut album, Eagles (1972), Bernie's mastery of the banjo, guitar, and mandolin was showcased on hits like Take It Easy and Peaceful Easy Feeling. His harmonies and songwriting contributions, including Train Leaves Here This Morning and Bitter Creek, helped define the band's distinctive country-rock sound.Bernie continued to shape The Eagles' music on Desperado (1973), On the Border (1974), and One of These Nights (1975). However, as the band gravitated toward a rock-oriented direction with the addition of Don Felder and later Joe Walsh, Bernie felt increasingly disconnected from the evolving sound. In 1975, after years of touring and creative differences, Bernie famously left the band, marking the end of an era for both him and The Eagles.Following his departure, Bernie Leadon remained highly active in the music industry. He became a respected session musician, contributing to recordings by Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris, Stephen Stills, Randy Newman, and many others. In 1977, he released his first solo album, Natural Progressions, blending his bluegrass roots with rock and folk influences.Over the decades, Bernie continued to perform, collaborate, and record — he returned to The Eagles' “History of the Eagles” tour in 2013.Today, Bernie Leadon has returned with a reflective new solo album called "Too Late to be Cool" showcasing the depth and authenticity that have characterised his entire career. In this episode, we talk about Bernie's journey, his thoughts on music, and what it means to create art on his own terms. Bernie's story is a testament to creativity, versatility, and staying true to one's musical voice.Whether you're a lifelong Eagles fan, a lover of country-rock, or someone curious about the musicians behind the music, this episode is packed with insights, stories, and reflections. Bernie Leadon may not always have sought the spotlight, but his impact on American music is undeniable.

Sean Burton runs one of the most integrated multifamily platforms on the West Coast. As CEO of Cityview, he oversees development, construction management, and property management across ~40 assets in supply-constrained markets. That full-stack view matters right now because capital is moving—and underwriting discipline will separate winners from passengers. Theme: Debt is back, development capital is selectively returning, and OZ 2.0 arrives in 2027. But the only rate that really matters for valuations is the 10-year, not the headline cut. If you build your thesis on structure, not dirt, regime changes will find you out. Five questions Sean answers: What's actually happening in debt? Why are private-credit spreads at cycle lows and banks re-entering, and how should sponsors lock terms without over-betting on near-term policy cuts? Where is equity leaning now? Why are insurance companies and bulge-bracket managers warming to development in true supply-constraints—and why are coastal markets back in the conversation? Do tariffs and immigration enforcement change cost and schedule? What did a 17-sub deep-dive reveal about hard costs (+2.7%) vs. headline noise—and how should you interrogate your supply chain? How should investors think about policy-driven liquidity (Basel relief, rate cuts) vs. the cap-rate anchor at the long end? Where's the line between stimulus and a "sugar-rush" that lifts the 10-year? What can cities do—practically—to attract capital? Why San Diego's timeline certainty (with real affordability requirements) is winning 1,000-unit pipelines while LA's political risk still prices deals wider. If you're underwriting 2025–27, this episode is a field guide: fundamentals over financial engineering, explicit policy-risk pricing, a 2027 OZ relaunch plan, and a daily read on the 10-year. Capital is available; discipline is scarce. Tune in for the full conversation with Sean Burton, CEO of Cityview—and pressure-test your next IC memo against his playbook. *** In this series, I cut through the noise to examine how shifting macroeconomic forces and rising geopolitical risk are reshaping real estate investing.

Creativity through the lens of a singer/songwriter"Creativity, it's all about your imagination"Tom Ciurczak (Sir-Zak) offers up an infectious blend of energetic rhythms, danceable beats and powerful storytelling lyrics that make you think you are listening to a crossbreed of Bruce Springsteen, Warren Zevon and Steve Earle, complete with Eagles-esque harmonies and hook-laden Eric Clapton style guitar work. Tom learned, early on, about music's complex and distinct sounds and rhythms as well as the imagery that great storytelling can evoke. In his mid 20's, Tom moved to the West Coast where he soon found work in the Specialty Lighting industry. Marriage and 2 young children meant putting his musical ambitions on hold, although he continued to write songs almost daily as he traveled the world to seek out the newest innovations in lighting. His career established him as an outstanding businessman, as he built three very successful Specialty Lighting Companies: Osram, Ushio and his own company, BLC International. Through it all, he continued to hear the siren's song as songwriting provided the creative outlet in his life. Things changed in 2014, when Tom decided to dust off his prodigious arsenal of songs and put them to the test. When he attended recording artist Steve Earle's Songwriters Master Class and Retreat, he knew that he had found his people. From there, he turbo-charged his songs, taking them to a whole new level. On June 26th 2025 the Album YORICK was released, highlighted by the title track Yorick based on a character from Shakespeare's Hamlet. It also included critically acclaimed singles, The Watcher and On Top Of The Rainbow.Tom performs regularly at music venues throughout Southern California to promote his own brand of Heartland Rock. Singer/songwriter/recording artist Tom Ciurczak is proof that, once lit, the musical spark never dies – it's just waiting for the right time to blaze its magic.www.tomciurczak.comhttps://music.apple.com/us/artist/tom-ciurczak/1523602233https://open.spotify.com/artist/4kSCXkEUWwUq5ykqyEf1Dnhttps://www.instagram.com/tokyotommy58/https://www.youtube.com/@tomciurczak8782Tom Ciurczak Band: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100092202082226Tom Ciurczak: https://www.facebook.com/tom.ciurczakSend us a text

Sasha Mereu has lived more lives than most artists dream of. Broadway performer, magician, visual artist, and guitarist for the punk band United Defiance. From working FedEx night shifts to conjuring illusions on stage. Sasha's story is about the balance between creative drive, and real-world grind.We get into everything: the collapse of ticket prices and concert culture. The difference between East Coast honesty and West Coast polish. Why art feels more alive when it's imperfect? Sasha and I dive deep on AI, authenticity, capitalism. Possibly why live music might be the last true rebellion left. It's a conversation about sound, struggle, and staying human. When everything's becoming automated.Where to Find Sasha Mereu?
For most people today, the story of the original colony of Astoria is remembered — if it's remembered at all — as a dismal failure. It was an ill-equipped party sent out by a rich guy in New York, which failed and was forced to sell out at fire-sale prices to the British. And yeah, that's all kind of true … but the most interesting thing about Fort Astoria is, if John Jacob Astor's explorers had stayed home — or even left a year later than they did — the Oregon country would probably be part of Canada today. Going a bit farther (and being quite a bit more speculative) — if Astor had made even slightly less awful hiring decisions when he launched the project, the British would likely have ended up locked out of the entire central West Coast, from Mexico to Alaska; and it's possible, if not likely, that it would have become its own independent country, governed or ruled by Astor's descendants. To explain all that historical what-iffery, I need to give you a Cliff's Notes version of the story of the Astoria project. (Astoria, Clatsop County; 1810s, 1820s) (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/2508a.1008b.astoria-party-saved-oregon-from-uk-704.083.html)
Panthers Coaching Breakdown: Schemes, Stats, and Packers Matchup Insights Carolina's Offensive Vision vs. Green Bay's Defensive Reality Analyzed Team Stats Deep Dive: How Panthers Stack Up Against Packers Dive deep into the Carolina Panthers' transformation under Dave Canales and Ejiro Evero as we gear up for a pivotal matchup with the Packers. From quarterback development to defensive schemes, uncover the gaps and strengths that could decide the game at Lambeau. Tease the intrigue of emerging talents like Rico Dowdle and how Green Bay's elite pass offense might dismantle Carolina's vulnerabilities. Exploring Dave Canales' quarterback guru reputation, from Russell Wilson to Bryce Young's uneven progress, and its fit in a Shanahan-style West Coast offense aiming for balance but struggling in execution. Breaking down Ejiro Evero's Fangio-inspired 3-4 defense: zone-heavy with disguised pressures, but hampered by the league's weakest pass rush and run vulnerabilities. Key stats showdown: Packers rank top in EPA per pass while Panthers excel in rushing but falter in finishing drives—plus trade rumors and NFL notes like Miami's potential fire sale. Bold take: If Jordan Love sits comfortably in the pocket, Carolina's secondary crumbles, but blitzes could expose Green Bay's ongoing pressure issues. This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!
