At a Marsh supermarket in Troy, Ohio, a packet of Wrigley's Juicy Fruit gum became the first ever product to have its barcode scanned - at 8:01 a.m. on June 26th, 1974. Inspired by the morse code training of his Boy Scout days, Norman Joseph Woodland first sketched out a barcode on a Florida beach in 1948, drawing dots and dashes in the sand. Together with fellow Drexel Institute graduate student Bernard Silver, he received a U.S. Patent in 1952 - but it would be another 20 years before IBM produced the technology that could be rolled out to grocery stores. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain how the invention accelerated the growth of the largest retailers; consider Woodland's original ‘bullseye' barcode design; and reveal why conspiracy theorists think barcodes are the DEVIL's work… Further Reading: • ‘How the barcode changed retailing and manufacturing' (BBC News, 2017): https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-38498700 • ‘N Joseph Woodland obituary' (The Guardian, 2012): https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2012/dec/16/n-joseph-woodland • ‘How Do Barcodes Work?'

Spencer joined Jaymes and Ryan to talk about this week's Brewers offensive explosion, Wrigley rain and umpshows, the coming schedule and, of course, all about The Miz.Support the podcast on Patreon and receive the Monthly Minor League Extra and Weekly Packers Preview.

Jacob Misiorowski was asked on last week's podcast what he could do for an encore to his great debut, and he mused, "Six innings, no-hit?" Well, guess what? Misiorowski was even better the second time around, working six perfect innings in a productive week of road baseball for the Brewers, which also included some offensive fireworks. Host JR Radcliffe is joined by special guest Spencer Michaelis to discuss the majority of the week, which including a narrow win at Wrigley and a series win at Target Field. What does the new Garrett Mitchell injury mean for this team (and specifically hot-hitting Isaac Collins)? What's a good timeline for Brandon Woodruff? What are some of the craziest components of Misiorowski's six perfect innings to open in Minnesota? In Three Up Three Down (42:15), a fan climbs the net for a bat, a bad call turns favorable and a Miz stat that really pops. In Remembrew When (1:02:15), we don't go back very far to find the last time a player drove in eight runs in a game, like Christian Yelich did Friday. Finally, the take of the week (1:06:15) explores an error in Major League Baseball's statkeeping. Then, JR chats with relief pitcher Rob Zastryzny (1:16:15) on his unusual upbringing (born in Edmonton, Canada, and grew up in Texas), the lack of run support at Missouri, winning a ring with the Cubs in 2016, his circuitous journey back to Milwaukee and more.

Headlines and The Wrigley effect. The Mariners figured out the right approach based on the conditions at Wrigley Field, but it took a bit. Emerson Hancock couldn't conquer Wrigley on Saturday and the Cubs took advantage, but on Sunday it was Logan's turn to make some adjustments and the M's batter's took advantage of the windy conditions to come up with 14 runs and a series win. The M's scored 30 runs over the weekend, but the offense is in no way fixed. They were just able to use the conditions to their advantage and we fully expect a return to normalcy in Minnesota. :30- The Seahawks defense leaned on Leonard Williams last year, but could he be even better this year? Lofa sure think so and we talked about it with him during our Seahawks one series last Friday. :45- Kevin Durant was traded from the Suns to the Rockets over the weekend. Will he ever be happy?

Paul Skenes Day in Wrigley didn't disappoint. The Pirates battled through rain, extra innings, and some weird vibes to grind out a 2-1 win over the Cubs. Ryan and Neil break it all down—from Skenes going five scoreless to the tense final innings that had everyone bracing for the victory. We talk about the energy Skenes brings every time he takes the mound, the offense doing just enough, and how this win felt like it meant a little more.

Andrew Loftesnes is a veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps. Specifically, he served with the 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines, 1st Marine Division, which is the same unit that President Donald Trump has, controversially, deployed to Los Angeles to, as Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem put it recently, "liberate this city from the socialist and burdensome leadership" elected by local citizens. The deployment was "not only a direct threat to democracy and in my opinion a significant step towards autocracy, but also a direct betrayal of the young men and women who serve in the Marine Corps and other branches of the US military," Loftesnes said on this episode of Plain Talk. "The escalation 100% is the point," he added when asked if Trump's motive was to inflame an already delecate situation further. "Anyone who calls themselves a conservative politically, I think, should be horrified by this federal overreach," he said. Also on this episode, Attorney General Drew Wrigley explains his legal opinion concluding that Gov. Kelly Armstrong's line-item veto should stand, and that a special session isn't necessary. He points to Article V of the North Dakota constitution which states that the governor need send two things back to the Legislature when issuing a veto: A veto message, and the original bill, with the latter requirement being an anachronism from the pre-digital, pre-copy machine era when there would be only one copy of a given piece of legislation. Wrigley says that the veto message issued by Armstrong was accurate, and that whatever mistakes were made up the marked-up version of the bill Armstrong sent back alongside the message are irrelevant. "This isn't a hieroglyphics contest," he said. Armstrong's office is proceeding following Wrigley's opinion, but the Legislature, and specifically the Legislative Management Committee which Senate Majority Leader David Hogue chairs, has yet to decide whether they'll litigate or call themselves back into session to take further action. In public statements, Hogue was dismissive of Wrigley's opinion, saying his "understanding of the English language" and "respect for the rule of law" prevented him from going along with it. Wrigley says he's since spoken to Hogue, and that they laughed the matter off. "We had a conversation that afternoon," he said. "In fact, I had seen the quote that you just mentioned, and when he called me later in the afternoon, I asked him if he was calling to discuss the English language, at which point he started speaking Spanish. We started off with a pretty good laugh." If you want to participate in Plain Talk, just give us a call or text at 701-587-3141.

Dive into the extraordinary story of Marie and Mildred Maier, the original Doublemint Twins, whose encounter with an alien signal shook Chicago and exposed a shadowy government cover-up. On November 28, 1954, during a live WGN radio broadcast, the sisters recorded eerie, high-speed tones—described as a coded message resembling Jingle Bells—after host Jim Mills invited extraterrestrials to respond. What followed was a web of deception involving the CIA, fake Air Force officers, and a relentless UFO skeptic, Dr. Leon Davidson, who uncovered the truth.Explore the Maier's journey from advertising fame as Wrigley's Doublemint Twins to accidental UFO hunters.  Their WGN recording, detailed in a rare 1955 Journal of Space Flight article, caught the CIA's attention, leading to a covert operation to seize the tape. Posing as Air Force officers, CIA agents George O. Forrest and Dewelt Walker visited the sisters, claiming the signal was mere Morse code from a U.S. radio station. Was it?Enter Dr. Leon Davidson, a Los Alamos scientist who believed UFOs were a CIA-orchestrated psychological warfare tactic. In 1957, Davidson contacted the Maiers, exposing inconsistencies in the CIA's story and accusing the agency of fabricating UFO sightings to manipulate public perception during the Cold War. His dogged pursuit revealed a deeper conspiracy. The CIA's 1997 report, The CIA's Role in the Study of UFOs, 1947-90, later admitted mishandling the case, confirming Davidson's suspicions of agency involvement.Set against the backdrop of 1954's UFO frenzy, this episode uncovers a time when Cold War paranoia, public obsession with flying saucers, and government secrecy collided.  The Maier sisters' story is a microcosm of a nation grappling with the unknown. Why did the CIA go to such lengths to bury a single tape? Was the sisters' recording evidence of extraterrestrial contact, or part of a larger psychological operation?https://www.mydarkpath.com/73-doublemint-twins-vs-the-ciaRead MF Thomas' novels Like Clockwork https://amzn.to/417lOzyArcade https://amzn.to/4aTpisxA Sickness in Time https://amzn.to/41apSPKSeeing by Moonlight ...

At the beginning of this episode of Plain Talk, Attorney General Drew Wrigley took exception to my recent reporting suggesting that he and Gov. Kelly Armstrong are at odds over sentencing legislation and the performance of state prison officials. Based on what would follow, I think the conflict between two of North Dakota's top elected officials is positively overt. According to Wrigley, the North Dakota Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, headed by director Colby Braun, is lying to state lawmakers and the public. He took particular issue with a recent fiscal note issued by the DOCR indicating that so-called "truth in sentencing" legislation he supports, which would mean that inmates serve a larger percentage of their sentences, will cost taxpayers as much as $269 million. "Their quest is to make it extraordinarily expensive to turn people away from the bill," he said. "That is a blatant falsehood," a stormy Wrigley told guest-cost Erin Oban and I. "It is not worth the paper it's written on," he continued about the fiscal note. "It would be a joke if it weren't a matter of serious policy debate," he said. Wrigley also said that DOCR officials have been hiding data from the public and lawmakers, and making misleading statements about rising crime rates. "What an absolute abdication of responsibility," concluded. These are serious accusations -- lying, abdication of responsibility, etc. -- but Braun isn't an independent operator. He has a boss. That's Armstrong, who was also scheduled to appear on this episode to discuss the progress of property tax reform, which he has made his primary focus during this legislative session.  I asked Wrigley if he felt Braun should be fired, and he demured, saying it wasn't his place to advise the governor on personnel issues.

The Cincinnati Reds and Chicago Cubs faced off in an electrifying three-game series at Wrigley Field from May 30 to June 1, 2025, showcasing intense NL Central rivalry. Both teams entered with momentum—the Cubs fresh off a sweep of the Rockies, boasting a 35-21 record, and the Reds, at 28-29, looking to rebound after dropping two of three to the Cubs the prior weekend at Great American Ball Park. The series, marked by strong pitching, timely hitting, and dramatic moments, lived up to its billing. On Friday, May 30, the Reds struck first, winning 6-2 behind Andrew Abbott's seven shutout innings. Cincinnati's offense capitalized early, while the Cubs' bats struggled against Abbott's command. Despite Seiya Suzuki's recent NL Player of the Week honors, Chicago couldn't solve the Reds' lefty, setting the tone for a competitive weekend. Saturday, May 31, saw the Cubs bounce back with a 2-0 shutout, leveling the series. Chicago's pitching, led by a strong outing from their starter, stifled the Reds' lineup. The Cubs scored late, with clutch hits breaking through against a Reds bullpen that had faltered in their previous matchup. Pete Crow-Armstrong's speed and defensive prowess in center field added energy, while the Wrigley faithful celebrated a gritty win. The series finale on June 1 was a 7-3 Cubs victory, securing the series 2-1. Michael Busch's three-run homer and three hits from Crow-Armstrong, who also stole two bases, powered Chicago. Jameson Taillon delivered 6.1 innings, allowing two runs, including a two-run shot by Elly De La Cruz. The Cubs' 5-1 homestand propelled them to 37-22, 15 games above .500, while the Reds fell to 28-31. Chicago's bullpen, which allowed just one run in their prior series, remained a strength. This series highlighted the Cubs' depth and resilience, with contributions from stars like Dansby Swanson and emerging talents like Crow-Armstrong. For the Reds, De La Cruz's flash and Abbott's dominance showed promise, but their bullpen's inconsistency proved costly. Both teams, vying for NL Central supremacy, demonstrated why this rivalry remains a cornerstone of baseball's heartland. Fans eagerly await their next clash in August at Wrigley
