Welcome back to this "Fearless" Monday! Stephen A. Smith goes on ABC and starts flaunting his presidential run. Whitlock must have had a crystal ball, since his prediction of SAS becoming a puppet for the Democratic Party has come to fruition. Unfortunately, no one could predict what Stephen A. would run on. His message of standing out from the rest of the candidates is that he isn't Trump. The next presidential election is almost four years away, so anything can happen. However, the American people have proven that they could be duped into thinking Joe Biden was physically fit to be our president … could they be duped again? SAS has the backing of Bob Iger and Disney; we better start taking his presidential aspirations seriously, or we will have another Joe Biden in the White House. In sports news, Steve Kim and Jason discuss the talented Tennessee quarterback Nico Iamaleava reportedly wanting out of Knoxville and the University of Tennessee. There have been some NIL disputes between Iamaleava and UT's quarterbacks coach. Nico then proceeded to skip spring practice and ultimately leave the school. This is what the unregulated NIL has created in college sports: entitled professional athletes who lack the loyalty and perseverance needed for success. These players know that some other school will offer them lucrative NIL contracts if they have an issue with their previous school. What kind of precedent are we setting for these kids? Finally, wrapping up the show, Steve and Jason discuss the tragic suicide of standout LSU football player Kyren Lacy. Lacy was preparing to be drafted in the first or second round of the 2025 NFL draft class. Praying for peace for the family of a child gone too soon.

As the country waits to see if the approximately $80-100 million the broligarchy spent trying to sway voters in Wisconsin's judicial election pays off, breaking their election laws in the process, we review other major news of the past week. That includes an ill-fated trip to Greenland, news of Twitter's sale, a mini-exodus from Yale professors, the importance of due process, an update on the Signal text chain, plus ABC/Disney learning that a bully is never satisfied.

Michael Popok and Karen Friedman Agnifilo are back with the midweek edition of the Legal AF podcast. On tap? 1) Judge Merchan comes out swinging against Trump and his fake allegations of jury misconduct in the NY criminal conviction case. But will he sentence Trump before the inauguration? 2) What is the best method to fight back against Trump when you are bullied and threatened? Cave a la ABC/Disney, or fight back like Liz Cheney? 3) a hero doctor takes on Texas by prescribing medication abortion pills into Texas. Will NY's Shield laws hold? 4) Will Matt Gaetz try to unretire and “out” other members of Congress with alleged sex abuse misconduct histories? 5) will the US Supreme Court rule that the Chinese Government has First Amendment rights that beat our national security interests related to the forced sale of TikTok? and so much more at the intersection of law and politics.

Was missing my ol' belly laugh pal TV Producer Adrienne Lopez. She used to live close by me but moved, and moved on to traveling for work. Hadn't seen her in person since before Covid. Happened to a lot of friendships. Can't remember exactly how we originally became friends, but I think it started way back when 5000 years ago when she once booked me on a TV show. Adrienne's been in the tv & film business a long time. She's a veteran television producer and talent executive. She's been a casting director/producer in all tv genres including, reality tv, docu-series, and competition shows as well as scripted programming. She is a very successful celebrity talent booker and is currently The Senior Talent Producer on The Tamron Hall Show in NYC. Adrienne said, “We usually tape a live show at ABC on 67th and Columbus, but the news is we're moving. All of ABC Disney is moving down way downtown to Tribeca. I just found out today that we're moving in December. Everybody else is moving right after the election”. Adrienne is used to being on the move. Both Adrienne and I were independent female entrepreneurs and single moms along the way of life. Always hustling because single moms always have to hustle, but also always laughing – even when things weren't exactly going our way. We'd stop and have a glass of wine together and commiserate. Once we were so broke, we had to share a glass of wine…at happy hour. LOL We still laugh like hell about that one. Though we haven't seen in each in person in a while, I'd kept up with Adrienne online, knew she became the Sr. Talent Producer at The Tamron Hall Show, always joked she had fancier friends than me when I'd see her post about her celebrity pals, and found out when the great Willie Mays passed, she actually was his neighbor for a while growing up near ‘Shea Stadium'. Yes Willie Mays was her neighbor for while on the street she grew up on in East Elmhurst, Queens. Told Adrienne it was time for her to come visit me and have a few of those same ol' belly laughs we always like to have. I thought it would be fun to catch up with her in the studio live on the air with me, so she could talk about all those things that she does and knows that might interest you guys too. (Like what goes on behind the scenes on a live TV show and how to get booked as a guest on one!) Adrienne has been at The Tamron Hall Show five seasons now and is very proud she's been nominated for an Emmy twice. She didn't win, but oh well, she says she'll get ‘em next time! The new season starts September 3rd. Meet Adrienne Lopez and find out how getting booked a TV show works and more, in this podcast of our live conversation on The Debbie Nigro Show.

James reacts to the Steve Burton returning to General Hospital AND his claim to only want to act a few more years; Ingo Rademacher's claims against GH, and the ABC Disney Mandate in general!
The big topic today has been Aaron Rodgers saying Jimmy Kimmel doesn't want the Epstein list revealed, and Kimmel threatening to sue him. Both McAfee and Kimmel are owned by ABC/Disney.
The big topic today has been Aaron Rodgers saying Jimmy Kimmel doesn't want the Epstein list revealed, and Kimmel threatening to sue him. Both McAfee and Kimmel are owned by ABC/Disney. Callers react to Rodgers vs Kimmel. Wink Martindale connects with the players, but isn't the healthiest looking guy. C-Lo returns for an update but first Boomer wants to know what ‘Mr. Pfizer' thinks of this Aaron Rodgers stuff. Gio wonders how BT and Sal will handle this topic today. Rodgers also had a conspiracy about the colors for Super Bowl logos. The Moment of The Day involves Al's car getting attacked and what would happen if Eddie was attacked on the streets of NYC. In the final segment of the show, Boomer got Al a police baton and we practiced on a wooden box and a dummy head of a masked wrestler.
Hour 1 Aaron Rodgers was on with Pat McAfee and said Jimmy Kimmel is nervous about the Epstein list being revealed. Boomer said that is a defamation of character and if he were Kimmel he would sue him. Gio said the Jets have to get him off of McAfee. Boomer was not expecting this as a topic today. C-Lo is in for Jerry and is here for his first update, but first we continued talking about Rodgers vs Kimmel. C-Lo has the actual audio of Rodgers mentioning Kimmel. The Jets are parting ways with Dalvin Cook and giving him a chance to join a playoff team. Panthers owner David Tepper was fined $300K for throwing a drink on a Jaguars fan. The Rangers lost to the Hurricanes 6-1 at the Garden. In the final segment of the hour, Cam Soda has offered $100K to the woman who was seen flashing her chest on Bourbon Street on ESPN during the Sugar Bowl broadcast. How much would it take you to go on a webcam, naked, for an hour. Boomer is thinking of muting Peter Schwartz on Twitter. Hour 2 Gio wants the Jets/Patriots game to be important but it won't be. Nothing is changing with the Jets. Saleh and Douglas are coming back and Aaron Rodgers will be the quarterback. Boomer thinks there will be changes with the coaching staff underneath the coordinators. Will this be Bill Belichick's last game as Head Coach of the Patriots? Who has anything to play for in a Jets uniform? We've seen business decisions being made by players like Sauce Gardner.Will we get a Bill Belichick moment exiting Foxborough for the last time? A caller is going to the game in a black suit, treating it as a funeral for Belichick. There are a bunch of teams this week with a ‘win and in' situation. C-Lo returns for an update and starts with the history of Jimmy Kimmel vs Aaron Rodgers. Bill Belichick will tell you his future on ‘MyFace'. Zion Williamson, ‘looks like a guy that eats too much'. In the final segment of the hour, the best game of the weekend coming up is Bills/Dolphins on Sunday night. Other than the Browns, Gio doesn't think another team could go on an ‘improbable run'. Hour 3 Al tells a story of a guy on a bike attacking his car at 4am this morning. He punched and kicked his car in anger. C-Lo returns for an update and starts with audio from Spike Eskin on the Awful Announcing podcast. He was asked about replacing Boomer when he decides to retire. C-Lo has audio of Jimmy Kimmel calling Aaron Rodgers a ‘whack-packer'. In the final segment of the hour, a band called Ill Minds sent us some hoodies to play one of their songs. A caller doesn't like that Boomer said ‘idiots in Suffolk County'. Hour 4 The big topic today has been Aaron Rodgers saying Jimmy Kimmel doesn't want the Epstein list revealed, and Kimmel threatening to sue him. Both McAfee and Kimmel are owned by ABC/Disney. Callers react to Rodgers vs Kimmel. Wink Martindale connects with the players, but isn't the healthiest looking guy. C-Lo returns for an update but first Boomer wants to know what ‘Mr. Pfizer' thinks of this Aaron Rodgers stuff. Gio wonders how BT and Sal will handle this topic today. Rodgers also had a conspiracy about the colors for Super Bowl logos. The Moment of The Day involves Al's car getting attacked and what would happen if Eddie was attacked on the streets of NYC.

Lou welcomes special guest Bud Cornwell, a former marine and the current host of the podcast “The Patriot Cause.” Bud and Lou discuss The Constitution and what's the biggest problem today with the Constitution. Bud explains that we don't have a Constitution if we don't have accountability in our government. Bud points out that nowhere in the Constitution is it required for the federal government to balance the budget. Is the Second Amendment there to prevent our government from taking total control over us? They discuss immigration and if the Cartels have control of our borders. Is that why the U.S. can't control them? How do we fix this problem? And in light of the mass shootings, the guns or the culture? They finish their conversation speaking about the United States withdrawal from Afghanistan. Lou Palumbo is the director of Global Elite, also referred to as Elite Protection and Intelligence, a leading international investigative and private security organization.

Author, screenwriter and journalist, Stephen Rebello, majored in literature and psychology, ultimately earning a master's degree. Subsequently, he became a clinical social worker at a Harvard-affiliated teaching hospital in Boston. But it was during a vacation in Los Angeles that Stephen secured an in person interview with legendary director, Alfred Hitchcock. To Stephen, the interview seemed like a natural progression of the telephone calls he'd had with Mr. Hitchcock while growing up. The interview, which turned out to be Hitchcock's last before his 1980 death, was published originally in Boston's The Real Paper, and subsequently syndicated worldwide. That led Stephen to writing for magazines like: American Film, Cinefantastique, Cosmopolitan, GQ, Movieline (where he was Editor at Large), Playboy (where he was Contributing Editor), The Saturday Review, and others.Stephen's book, Reel Art: Great Posters From the Golden Age of the Silver Screen has been honored as one of the best ever written about Hollywood. His second book, Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho, has been translated into eight languages, and was adapted for the big screen as Hitchcock, starring Anthony Hopkins, Helen Mirren and Scarlett Johansson, for which Stephen did several screenplay rewrites.He's written three "making of" books for Disney Animation, worked on story and screenplay development for various Disney animated projects, and developed for ABC-Disney a live-action musical version of the animated classic Sleeping Beauty.Stephen's critically acclaimed 2020 bestseller, Dolls! Dolls! Dolls! Deep Inside Valley of the Dolls, has been optioned for development for the screen.

On this episode, The Barretta Brothers celebrate the TV show Dinosaurs and welcome the people behind the Unisaurus and Hand Puppet Characters. Episode Outline: 07:200mins: Conversation with Julianne Buescher, Michelan Sisti, John Kennedy, Rickey Boyd, and Jake Tate 33:30mins: Conversation with Julianne Buescher, Michelan Sisti, John Kennedy, Rickey Boyd, Jake Tate, Bruce Lanoli, Pons Maar, and Terri Hardin 35:50mins: Conversation with Allan Trautman, Terri Hardin, Bruce Lanoil, Tom Fisher, and Pons Maar. ABOUT OUR GUESTS: Allan Trautman Allan Trautman was born in Brooklyn, NY and moved to Miami Beach with his family at the beginning of 9th grade. He began acting in Miami Beach Senior High under the direction of famed drama teacher Jay Jensen. He spent four years in St. Louis at Washington University, earning a BA in Physics and Drama. He then earned an MFA in Acting from the California Institute of the Arts, where he met his wife, Diane. While in St. Louis, he began his puppetry career working on The Letter People at public TV station KETC. He performed in all 60 15-minute episodes, each one shot on a Friday (he skipped classes). Two years after graduating from CalArts, while working full-time at Leo's Stereo in the San Fernando Valley, a friend told him about an audition notice for a “puppet school” sponsored by Sid and Marty Krofft. Allan spent the summer of 1980 at what were a series of workshops under the direction of Tony Urbano. There he met other young puppeteers who all became lifelong friends—Bruce Lanoil, Kevin Carlson, Tim Blaney, and others. Much of the 1980s were spent working on projects for the Kroffts and for Dave Pavelonis and his Peppercorn Productions, as well as pursuing his acting career. During this time he was sent on an audition for Return of the Living Dead, and was cast as the Tarman, who went on to become an iconic zombie film character—among the first to ask specifically for “Brains!” In 1990, as part of the then-pending purchase of The Muppets by the Walt Disney Company, Jim Henson came to Los Angeles to direct Muppetvision 3-D, an attraction for Disney's theme parks. Again, a friend was able to get Allan into the audition, and this was the beginning of Allan's career with The Jim Henson Company and the Muppets. In 1991 Allan joined the cast of the ABC-TV series Dinosaurs as the animatronic puppeteer for Fran Sinclair. That show remained in production for 65 episodes, until the end of 1993, introducing Allan to sophisticated animatronics. This experience continued with movies like Babe, Men in Black, Doctor Dolittle, Jack Frost, The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas, Monkeybone, Cats and Dogs, Men in Black II, and The Country Bears. After Dinosaurs, two producers on that show requested his presence on their next show, Unhappily Ever After, a sitcom on the brand-new WB Network. Allan puppeteered Mr. Floppy, the lead character's wise-cracking (imaginary) talking bunny, voiced in front of a live audience by Bobcat Goldthwaite. In the meantime, Allan's work with The Muppets included videos such as It's Not Easy Being Green and Muppet Classic Theatre, the movie Muppets from Space, and, for TV, Muppets Tonight, It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie, and The Muppets' Wizard of Oz. In the summer of 2005, Allan became a founding member of Puppet Up!—Uncensored, Henson Alternative's puppet/improv show. He performed in the show off-Broadway, at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, on tour throughout the U.S., and on the historic Chaplin Stage on The Jim Henson Company lot. He also acted as puppetry technique instructor. He was one of three on-set puppeteers during production of The Jungle Book (2016), and was a core puppeteer on The Happytime Murders. Allan continues to work in physical as well as digital puppetry, in shows such as Splash and Bubbles for PBS Kids, and has moved into directing for that show and others. Julianne Buescher Julianne Buescher is a whimsically versatile, classically trained actor, voice-over artist and Muppet Performer…whose new Muppet character Beverly Plume can be seen in “Muppets Now!” On Disney+! Follow Julianne on IG at @juliannebuescher and see all her credits at IMDb.me/juliannebuescher Jake Tate Jack Tate is an actor/puppeteer/voiceover guy. Mostly, he's retired, but he'd work if someone asked. He was in movies: The Right Stuff, Monster in the Closet, Interview with an Assassin and many others. On TV, he did a lot of day-player roles: Fresh Prince, Frazier, Hotel, Murder She Wrote and many others, before he landed on Dinosaurs, as a regular player, a Unisaur, appearing as many of the characters interacting with the family. Another show he was a regular on later, was The Journey of Allen Strange, for Nickelodeon. He was more successful in commercials than TV or movies, doing pretty near 1000 of them, many as a spokesman for AT&T, Pepsi, Bud Light, Ford Mercury and played, for 20+ years, the character Jack in the Box. Dinosaurs was easily his career favorite. Michelan Sisti Michelan began his performing journey as a musician, then an actor with multiple Broadway roles, which directly led to him becoming a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle in the original live action movies (Michelangelo). Being Mikey, evolved into our ultimate animatronics show, “Dinosaurs”. The coolest suit show EVER! Since then, Mich has enjoyed 26 more years of Muppets and other neat things with puppets and motion capture. He has loved every minute of the trip. Rickey Boyd Rickey's interest in animation and puppetry began at an early age. At eleven, he and one of his friends produced their own crude TV puppet shows at a local cable access station and experimented with 8mm animated short films. During High School he continued designing and building his own puppet characters. Later, he attended Shorter College in Rome, Georgia where he majored in art and theater. During an internship at a local cable station he worked with college classmates Keith Thomas and Jeff Brown to produce two children's shows that featured his creations. This provided valuable monitor experience as well as enough footage for a demo reel. That reel would land him an audition with the Muppets. In 1988 he was interviewed by Jane Henson then met and auditioned for Jim Henson himself. He was asked to continue working with Jim Henson Productions as both an assistant and as a featured performer on various productions. He went on to performed various background characters on Sesame Street, The Abby in Wonderland special, Grandma Cookie Monster for Sesame Workshop's “Sesame Beginnings” project, Scooter and Crazy Harry in “Muppet's Wizard of Oz”, and Waffle in “Animal Jam”. Other projects include “Muppets From Space”, “Dinosaurs” the series, “Muppetvision 3D”, “Muppets at Disney World”, “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”, The Jim Henson Hour's “Dog City” and “Song of the Cloud Forest”. Aside from Henson Productions, Rickey has performed lead characters for The Nashville Network's Peppercorn Productions. Most recently he continues to puppeteer as Doug the Slug in “The Slugs and Bugs Show” for RightNow Media, and as “George” in the web series “Wondermore” for In Touch Ministries. In addition to performing Rickey is an Emmy winning Creative Director for Magnetic Dreams Animation Studios in Nashville, Tn. There, he designs and directs animations for clients such as “Sesame Street”, among others. He lives outside Nashville with his wife Judy and their children Emily and Andrew. John E. Kennedy John E. Kennedy is a lifelong puppeteer who began performing at age three and met and worked with Jim Henson at the age of 22. He has been a member of Sesame Street since 1994, and currently performs The Amazing Mumford, a character originated by Jerry Nelson. John has also been a Muppet™ performer on projects such as Muppets From Space, The Muppets Wizard of Oz, The Muppets Take the Bowl, and The Muppets Take the O2. He has authored two puppet-making books (Puppet Mania and Puppet Planet), and has been a puppet captain, a choreographer, and a musician.

ABOUT OUR GUESTS: Jane Gootnick With college degrees in both acting and set design Jane first moved to Europe working in Belgium and London. In the mid-70's she moved to NYC working with alternative theatre groups (LaMama, Joe Papp's Public Theatre). Jane became head sculptor at Brooks Van Horn Costume Co. making props, masks and creatures for a large variety of venues: Broadway shows (Sweeney Todd, Dracula, Peter Pan), feature films (The Wiz, Hair), Warner Bros walkarounds, commercials, Ringling Bros Circus, and the first four seasons of Saturday Night Live. In 1978, the costume designer for SNL mentioned that the Jim Henson Company was looking for sculptors for a film called The Dark Crystal and suggested she interview. Jane was offered three weeks work to build a prototype support harness for the Skeksis they were developing. So, she left her three-year full-time job for three weeks of work at Henson's and stayed 40 years! Jane has worked in both the New York puppet shop and the London Creature Shop throughout the years. Designing/building puppets and creatures, supervising builds, and running workshops on location for Muppet/Henson films and TV series, (Dark Crystal, Muppet Show, Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock, Labyrinth, The Storyteller, The Witches, Ninja Turtles, Dinosaurs, Muppets Tonight, The Muppets, etc.). She has also worked on a variety of talk shows, game shows, and awards shows (Oscars, Grammys, Hollywood Bowl and many more). Jane is an art director for print and media photoshoots, film posters and endless fashion shoots with Miss Piggy with Louis Vuitton, Prada and other diva designers. Steve Whitmire Jim Henson invited Steve Whitmire to join his team in 1978 during the height of the popularity of The Muppet Show, and Whitmire had a hand in virtually every Muppet project for nearly four decades. He originated such characters as Rizzo the Rat, Lips the Trumpet Man, Miss Piggy's dog Foo-Foo, and Bean Bunny, and also sustained Richard Hunt's characters, the hapless lab assistant Beaker and codger Statler after Hunt's death in 1992. Upon Henson's death in 1990, Whitmire accepted the duty for the continuation of several of Jim's characters and is best known for his 24-years as Ernie and his 27-years as Kermit the Frog. Projects include Sesame Street and non-Muppet films such as The Dark Crystal, The Witches, Dreamchild and Labyrinth, as well as the popular sitcom Dinosaurs and the classic 1980's television series Fraggle Rock in which Whitmire originated Wembley Fraggle and Sprocket the Dog. After 19 films, 8 television series, numerous specials, multiple sound recordings, and volumes of unique live appearances, Whitmire carries forth the essential principles of the lineage as the foundation for a progressive approach to the art of puppetry in today's world and looks forward to sharing that spirit in his future endeavors. www.stevewhitmire.website Leif Tilden Leif Tilden watched his mother drink herself into a deep depression while living with her in Berkeley California during the late 60's free love movement. After her suicide he moved to Boston Massachusetts where he grew up in a segregated environment where the Irish, Italian and black neighborhoods beat each other up daily. Eventually he would find himself studying experimental theatre in New York City where he discovered his vulnerability through movement and the incredible falafel sandwich. Soon after that, which to him seems like a dream, he found himself inside the soul of a Teenage mutant ninja turtle. Life was good. Soon after that he drove across country for a minimum wage job on a tv show entitled, Dinosaurs for Disney. Life was not good and Leif will explain the details as to why on the show. Day Murch Day worked in the theatre for many years, as a performer in Liquid Theatre, with Stomu Yamashtas Red Buddha Theatre, and the Young Vic, with appearances in provincial rep and the West End, gradually commuting a hobby of designing and making clothes into a career. An early introduction on Time Bandits to the Monty Python team led to a specialist interest in the care and presentation of difficult costumes, with work on The Meaning Of Life, Greystoke, Legend and Fifth Element and several projects for Jim Hensons London Creature Shop. This led in time to making this type of costume and he headed the Fabrication Unit for Nick Dudmans Department of Magical Creatures for the initial Harry Potter Movies, building Hagrid and other fantasticals. In children's television he helped create characters for In The Night Garden , BoohBahs and Zingzillas. He enjoyed a longterm association with the Batman franchise as Batsuit Wrangler with all the Caped Crusaders except Adam West! Now happily retired with his life partner in Wales, he doesn't miss show business.

Being Mikey, evolved into our ultimate animatronics show, “Dinosaurs”. The coolest suit show EVER! Since then, Mich has enjoyed 26 more years of Muppets and other neat things with puppets and motion capture. He has loved every minute of the trip. Jill Thraves After growing up in the countryside of Yorkshire and Derbyshire I moved to London to attend University. Got my degree in French and went straight into making clothes and cotumes for dancers, musicians, strippers, and royalty. Bill Wyman, David Bowie, Freddy Mercury, Jimmy Page, Princess Margaret, were some of the people I dressed. Through friends I started working in films and tv., Time Bandits, The Meaning of Life and Labyrinth were early jobs. Labyrinth led to Mother Goose Stories and an Emmy, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and then Dinosaurs! So after 20 years I in London I came to Los Angeles. Since then I have worked on a lot of Superhero films, from Batman to Avengers and Guardians. I seem to have made a lot of capes! Batman to Thor and many in between.
