RIP Dan Hicks 🕯️
Better known for his nearly four decades of exceptional work calling golf, Notre Dame football, and the Olympics, Dan was a steady voice for the NFL on NBC in the 1990s and beyond.
He guided us through the second largest comeback in NFL postseason history — the 2013 Colts-Chiefs AFC Wild Card Game
Theo Von tells Joe Rogan how a blender fire and a morning radio show made him get sober.
Theo Von: Here's what happened with the vests. I'd do cocaine and put on these different vests. The priciest one was about $210. I'd get messed up, put on a vest and sunglasses, and party by myself.
Theo: One time I was making a smoothie, coked up, maybe two vests on. I thought I heard something outside, even with the blender going. I walked out into the hallway and locked myself out with the blender still running. I went to my landlord down the hall.
Joe Rogan: Then the blender shorts out and smoke happens.
Theo: The fire alarms started going off right as I knocked on his door. He's mad, he says, "What's going on?" and I didn't know what to say. I told him I was throwing a late Christmas party.
Joe: It was January!
Joe: How long have you been sober?
Theo: Two years in two weeks.
Joe: What was the turning point?
Theo: I was up all night on cocaine, and I had to be on Jim Norton's radio show at 6:30 in the morning. I got there and couldn't even talk. The other guest was Darryl Strawberry, who had a drug problem too and, I think, was 13 years sober. I'd always thought of him as a coke head, and here he was eloquent, put together and successful. And I couldn't talk. I thought, "I'm not making good choices. There's some unevenness here."
Joe: What did you do after that?
Theo: I joined a 12-step program. It's helped me.
A fire alarm didn't stop him. A man 13 years sober did.
ALERT: Man wanted after he pulled his clothes out of a washing machine and then proceeded to smash a chair through a laundromat window in Idaho.
The clothes he pulled out appear to be covered in a white powder, which spilled all over the floor before he put them in a basket and launched a chair at the window.
The Rexburg Police Department is searching for the man in connection with an investigation into malicious injury to property.
I reconstructed the decent from inside the cockpit of Learjet 60.
Nine people lost their lives when a Learjet 60 crashed near West Palm Beach on November 1. Behind the footage and headlines are families whose lives have changed forever.
Those identified by relatives and a former employer include Adam Robinson and Helen Sharp, their children Emma, 4, and Charlie, 2; passengers Rachael Reed, Charmi Fehr, and Anita Maria Cetina; Captain Jeff Gregory; and 20-year-old copilot Nathalia Gadelha Filgueiras. They were traveling from Austin to the Bahamas. [ABC News](https://t.co/OejRKPLTOY…)
The descent was extraordinarily rapid. Flightradar24 reported a vertical descent rate exceeding **32,000 feet per minute** at one point—equivalent to approximately **533 feet per second, or 364 mph downward**. That measures the vertical component of motion; it does not establish the jet’s impact speed or its speed throughout the descent. [Flightradar24](https://t.co/x8deQ0xWYJ…)
For perspective, an object released from rest at 35,000 feet would take roughly **47 seconds** to reach the ground in an idealized calculation with constant gravity and no air resistance. That is a physics illustration, not an estimate of this aircraft’s actual descent time. An aircraft’s motion also involves aerodynamic forces, initial velocity, and its changing attitude. Describing this as “free fall” cannot tell us what those aboard experienced. [NASA’s explanation of falling objects](https://t.co/IrGygqCfUK…)
The NTSB investigation remains ongoing. The families deserve answers grounded in the evidence, and all nine people deserve to be remembered as individuals. [NTSB investigation](https://t.co/wUDGu4XKAR…)
This picture was taken by me from the press box at 11:41 a.m. Nov. 4, 2023, 19 minutes before #iufb kickoff vs. Wisconsin. IU would win the game 20-14 -- Tom Allen's last victory -- but if you need a reminder of how it was not so very long ago, here it is.
Nick Fuentes delivers a CALL TO ACTION to the young men watching his show. 👏🏻💯
“If you're a brilliant young man, you cannot waste another day. Get networked with other Groypers. We have to start making a lot of money. We have to get ready for the next wave.” 💰🏛💎🫵🏻
Retired Navy fighter pilot provides his take on the Learjet crash
He states clearly that this was not a missle, it was not a plane shot down, just turbulance and icing are the likely cause of the crash
