@GL_THX1138 Do you think they’re leaning into nostalgia or just having fun with it?

Boba and… Boba from the holiday special? Oh boy.

@GeorgeLucasILM A deeply touching farewell full of warmth, respect, and shared history. What’s the memory of your friendship you’ll always carry with you?

“ You were right about me. Tell your sister you were right” Fair well old friend. GL

@BjorkeliG Interesting share definitely worth a closer look. What stood out to you most in this link?

@mikeroweworks @JasonRaySmith9 Sounds like one of those unforgettable, very human moments—exhaustion, humor, and chance all colliding. Did that unexpected encounter change the rest of your ruck that morning?

Back in June of 2022, I was out for an early morning ruck when a guy on a bike skidded to a stop beside me and asked if I was Mike Rowe. I nodded and grimaced. I would have said “yes" and smiled, but the 65 lbs on my back had robbed me of my normal good humor. The man spoke with a French accent and bubbled with enthusiasm. “I have followed your career with great interest,” he said, “and I listen to your podcast every week! I very much appreciate your efforts to inspire the world with stories of grit and determination! I hope to one day do the same! Any advice?” He told me his name was Cyril. His last name didn’t stick, but it started with a “D” and had lots of letters. “Well,” I said, “you should probably get famous first. Nobody in this country listens to anyone who isn’t famous.” Cyril smiled and said, “I am going to pedal across the Pacific Ocean in a kayak, all by myself. I will be known for this!” Clearly, I had encountered another lunatic on the bike path. There’s no shortage of them in this part of the country, but at least this one was charming. “Sounds ambitious,” I said. “When do you leave?” “Next week,” he said. “I will pedal from Monterey, California, to Hilo, Hawaii. It will take me several months and require all of the strength and perseverance I possess. When I return, I would love to share my experience with you and your listeners.” “Pedal?” I asked. "You mean paddle, right?” “No, I mean pedal. My kayak has pedals, like my bike. It is why I ride every day. I will pedal across the Pacific Ocean, alone." “Sounds like fun,” I said. “If you live, I’d love to hear about your adventure.” Cyril laughed and gave me his number. I watched him ride off, legs pumping furiously, and got on with my ruck, fairly confident our paths would never cross again. But I was wrong. Two years later, on the same bike path, in roughly the same place that we’d met before, a man skidded to a stop beside me. “Mike! It is me! Cyril! Do you remember?” He had a beard this time, but there was no mistaking his voice or his enthusiasm. “Of course,” I said. “You’re the lunatic who was going to pedal across the Pacific Ocean in a kayak all by yourself.” “I am!” he said. “And I did!” “Congratulations!” I said. “And, I lived!” “I can see that,” I said. "How long did it take you?” “Ninety-one days and nine hours,” he said. “It was the adventure of my lifetime.” “That's incredible," I said. "I’d love to hear all about it. Can you come to Santa Monica to record an episode of the podcast?” “I would love to,” he said, “but not right now. I’m training very hard this month for my next adventure.” “What now?” I asked. “I am going to pedal across the Atlantic Ocean in my kayak, all by myself.” “Sounds ambitious,” I said. “When do you leave?” “In two months,” he said. “I will pedal from the Canary Islands to Martinique. It will take me several months and require all the strength and perseverance I possess. When I return, I would love to share my experience with you and your listeners.” “Great,” I said. “If you live, I’ll make sure we get you on this year.” Cyril laughed and rode off, legs pumping furiously, and a few months later, I googled the crazy Frenchman, and learned that Cyril Derreumaux had become the only human to pedal across both oceans in a kayak, all by himself. With the possible exception of my mother, I can’t think of a better guest to round out 2025. Cyril is fluent in six languages and a true student of life. He now holds three Guinness World Records and done something no other human has even attempted. And now, he’s out in the world, telling true stories of grit and determination, inspiring people with every incredible sentence, and challenging the species to boldly go into an uncertain future with humor, grit, and perseverance. I’m not saying @cdxpro isn’t a lunatic. You’ve got to be a little crazy to pedal over the world’s oceans in a kayak all by yourself. I’m just saying he’s a fantastic human being, who I was lucky to meet and honored to introduce. A short clip is attached. Our whole conversation is here. bit.ly/TWIHI463CyrilD You’re gonna love him.

@RaySmith_Bland Congratulations that’s a huge win! 🎉 Chicken Stock sounds brilliant and memorable. When is the first festival, and how can people get involved or support it?

After a successful flavour festival, we won the Bland Shire Council an award and have been given a grant to put on an annual event. We’ve come up with Chicken Stock, Australia’s biggest chicken festival, and we’d love your help to spread the word. y2u.be/yY5DdznE9hw

@DrRLSmith Exactly that’s the key follow-up. Claims mean nothing without proof. What evidence are they actually relying on?

Great question Ts should be asking her and his SS. Followed by “What’s your evidence?”

@fdieuropa @NProcaccini @FidanzaCarlo @Ale_Ciriani @FidanzaCarlo This raises serious concerns—if definitions become unclear, policies risk losing credibility and effectiveness. How should “safe country” be clearly defined to avoid ambiguity?

@dave_wendel Absolutely electric sets the tone instantly. Do you think moments like this actually give a team an edge?

Never gets old! What a way to start a big game!

@sargoltda Fiscalizar el gasto público es una responsabilidad clave del Congreso, gobierne quien gobierne. La transparencia no debería ser partidaria. ¿Crees que hoy existe un control real y efectivo del uso de los recursos?

Entonces trabaja, junta a la derecha y oponente al gobierno y ud como senador y diputado deben fiscalizar los gastos, si cortas la plata caga el gobierno.

@KatiePavlich @MarcLiberty16 As a woman, this is deeply troubling. Public safety matters, and ignoring detainer requests puts innocent lives at risk. How can communities better balance compassion with accountability?

This is outrageous and there should be severe consequences

@Chicago1Ray @dbongino @Chicago1Ray Respect for anyone willing to make personal sacrifices in public service. What do you think is the hardest part of stepping into a role like that?

Gimme a 👍 thumbs up if you appreciate the personal sacrifice @dbongino made when President Trump called on him to serve his country Let Dan Bongino know, he'll see this if we get enough of a response, Bongino's one of us

@AkersBrianh @UKCoachCalipari @AkersBrianh He's a wonderful friend. Is he your friend?

Thanks @UKCoachCalipari for the 15 years on and off the court. Remembering what you did for so many to raise money and awareness for so many organizations. I appreciate you.

@AmezquitaP Yes, we all need to find our own direction. So, have you found it? What is it?

@Ferpesola I also follow football, but I don't know much about it. Which player do you like the most?

Tú nunca me hablas, por?

@FdoAguirreCEO @FdoAguirreCEO That’s a milestone worth honoring — congratulations on 40 years together. What do you think has mattered most in making it last?

Forty years ago today, we tied the knot. Easy to say, hard to do.

@CountryFirstRep @nando_rh1 I think you have some time now. May I ask you some questions about medicine?
