SiriusXM parts ways with Michelle Beadle, Cody Decker
Beadle also confirmed the news via her X account with a post thanking listeners.
And we'd like to thank the callers who made the last couple of days an absolute blast!! Truly. You don't usually get such love on your way out. Security usually walks ya to the door 😌. You guys rule. 6 hours of how you felt. And you all were heard! 🧡🧡 Drinks on me…@Decker6 https://t.co/pilw4Um5NM

The split is effective immediately and follows comments from Beadle that were critical of Stephen A. Smith, who recently signed a deal to host two shows on the platform — one of which was set to take over Beadle and Decker's time slot in September.
Following the news of Smith joining the network, which he announced on Howard Stern's SiriusXM show Wednesday morning, Beadle said on air that she was blindsided and was not told that her and Decker's show was being replaced. She later in the day said she didn't respect Smith or his work.

'I just don't respect him. I think he gets things wrong all the time,' she told Front Office Sports. 'I'm not talking about opinions; those can never be wrong. But factually, when you spread yourself so thin, it's hard to be right. Not a fan.'
Smith later said during an appearance on another SiriusXM show that he wasn't aware that anyone at the network hadn't been told.
Smith's weekday show is set to debut in September and SiriusXM plans to use different hosts in the time slot until then.
Smith said in a news release that he is 'loving the fact that I get to reunite with my guy, Mad Dog, on his turf.' Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo has become regular on Smith's popular show 'First Take' that airs weekday mornings on ESPN.
'But to then add a weekly show where I have a potent platform to discuss riveting subjects in the world of Pop Culture, Politics and Social Commentary…let's just say it doesn't get any better than that,' Smith said in the release. 'September can't come soon enough. It's been a long time since I've been in radio … especially going back and forth with the callers. Can't wait to get re-started. Buckle Up! I'm coming!'

Julian Sayin named Ohio State's starting quarterback for season opener against Texas
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Julian Sayin will be Ohio State's starting quarterback when the No. 3 Buckeyes open the season against top-ranked Texas on Aug. 30, coach Ryan Day announced Monday. Day, who is in his seventh year leading the Buckeyes, said Sayin was more consistent in the competition with Lincoln Kienholz but there was some separation over the past week. "It was a close competition. I think both guys we all feel confident can win a game for us. I feel like our guys are confident with both quarterbacks, I feel like we are going to need both quarterbacks,' Day said. 'Lincoln did a lot of great things, but we're going to name Julian the starter, give him the majority of the reps with the ones and go prepare to beat Texas.' Sayin is listed as a sophomore but has four years of eligibility remaining. He originally committed to Alabama as the top-rated quarterback in the Class of 2024 and was taking classes when Nick Saban retired. Sayin then entered the transfer portal last spring and came to Ohio State. He played in four games last season, including the College Football Playoff first-round game against Tennessee, and he was 5 for 12 for 84 yards and one touchdown while taking 27 snaps. 'I think earning trust is just all about consistency, who are you day in and day out, and are you making the routine plays routinely. Are you someone who the offense can count on and who your teammates can count on consistently?' Sayin said on Aug. 5 about his approach. Offensive coordinator Brian Hartline also pointed out Sayin's consistency, along with limited turnovers and emergence as a leader, in his body of work. 'The command and earning the respect of your peers. Ultimately, the locker room always knows,' Hartline said. Texas coach Steve Sarkisian tried to recruit Sayin and said after Monday's announcement that he had a ton of respect for him. 'We recruited him hard here. He was a very gifted passer, really good player. Came to camp with us, I think, two years in a row. So we got a lot of familiarity with him," Sarkisian said. "Very good player, elite passer, very good arm talent, very quick release, really accurate guy. Obviously, he's got great weapons around him, so he's the type of guy that can utilize those weapons in a good system. So, it poses a heck of a challenge.' Sayin won't be the most-hyped quarterback in the opener. That goes to Texas' Arch Manning, who is considered an early Heisman Trophy contender. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here. AP college football: and

This Is Where All That Leftover Food Goes When The Pioneer Woman Finishes Filming
Filming a cooking show is no easy task. As someone who's done it before, I can attest that it's full of long days, tired feet, and way too much leftover food. Celebrity chef Ree Drummond knows this scenario all too well, having filmed her Food Network show "The Pioneer Woman" in her ranch lodge (which you can tour!) since 2011. And when the cameras stop rolling, someone has to eat all that food -- it turns out it's usually her family. Drummond and her husband, Ladd Drummond, have five children. The pair welcomed four kids in the years after their marriage, and their fifth child, Jamar, joined the family in 2018. This means Drummond has plenty of mouths to feed, so her food has plenty of places to go. Drummond revealed on her blog in 2020 that her kids and husband eat the leftover food. And if it's too much even for her family to enjoy, she turns to others: her hard-working crew. " If my family doesn't finish it off, the crew definitely will," Drummond said. Read more: A Guide To All The 3-Star Michelin Restaurants In The United States Drummond Likely Has Tons Of Leftover Food Ree Drummond usually films around four recipes per episode (like her favorite lobster mac and cheese), and cooking shows don't often just film one episode per day. Depending on the length and complexity of each recipe and theme, multiple episodes can be shot in one lengthy filming day. With that said, there could be times when Drummond has anywhere from 12 to 16 leftover recipes -- and maybe some she regrets making -- to dole out to those around her. But as of 2025, all of Drummond's kids are out of the house, with Alex and Paige both married, and Bryce, Todd, and Jamar all in college. That's likely where Drummond's crew steps in. While the kids are still home often to visit, they aren't around every time Drummond films an episode, which fans know just from watching. With that said, Drummond has mentioned she has a film crew of between 15 and 20 people, so it seems she will never have to worry about having more leftovers than she knows what to do with.

With the pair preparing to celebrate their son Jack Blues' first birthday later this month, the couple appears focused on family and their future together.
