Troop movements and other indicators suggest the Trump administration is preparing for a major expansion of U.S. military operations against Iran, including a possible ground operation. So says retired Col. Douglas Macgregor as he examines reports of deployments, weapons, aircraft, personnel and other substantial U.S. military preparations in the region, although this does not guarantee that a full-scale ground invasion has been ordered.  Jimmy discusses the logistical difficulties and risks of a ground invasion, including the size and distribution of U.S. forces, air and missile defenses, and Iran's terrain and military capabilities. He also criticizes U.S. foreign policy and argues that the conflict could continue or escalate after the November midterm elections, while reporting indicates that U.S. officials have considered both additional military action and diplomatic negotiations. Plus segments on Benjamin Netanyahu's recent appearance at the United Nations General Assembly, Tucker Carlson's upsetting description of his meeting with Trump prior to the Iran War and Syrian President al-Jolani's refusal to discuss his al-Qaeda background and 9/11. Also featuring Mischa Paullin, Chris Keene and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Alec Baldwin!

Movie of the Year: 2006The Departed (feat Adam Kempenaar!)Inside The Departed Podcast EpisodeWelcome to The Departed podcast episode of Movie of the Year: 2006, where the Taste Buds take on Martin Scorsese's Boston crime epic. Ryan, Mike, and Greg welcome Filmspotting co-host Adam Kempenaar to the panel. Together, they dig into a film about cops, crooks, and the men who raise them. Moreover, the conversation covers fatherhood, gender, and the rough racial politics of Scorsese's South Boston. Additionally, the crew delivers a Career Retrospective on Leonardo DiCaprio, the jittery star at the film's center. Ultimately, the episode asks whether this Best Picture winner still earns its reputation twenty years later.New to the season? Start with our Movie of the Year 2006 intro episode, then catch up on the full 2006 bracket reveal.About the Film: The Departed (2006)The Departed opened in theaters on October 6, 2006. Martin Scorsese directed, and William Monahan wrote the screenplay. Specifically, Monahan adapted the 2002 Hong Kong thriller Infernal Affairs. The story follows two moles working on opposite sides of the law. Leonardo DiCaprio plays Billy Costigan, an undercover cop inside the Irish mob. Meanwhile, Matt Damon plays Colin Sullivan, a mob plant rising through the Massachusetts State Police. Jack Nicholson rules over both men as crime boss Frank Costello. Notably, the supporting cast includes Mark Wahlberg, Martin Sheen, Vera Farmiga, Alec Baldwin, and Ray Winstone.The film became a major critical and commercial hit, earning more than $290 million worldwide. In addition, it won four Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay. Scorsese finally won Best Director after five earlier nominations. Thelma Schoonmaker also took home Best Film Editing. Roger Ebert gave the film four stars in his original RogerEbert.com review. For full cast and crew credits, visit The Departed on IMDb.Guest Panelist: Adam KempenaarAdam Kempenaar co-founded Filmspotting, one of the longest-running film podcasts in the medium. He launched the show in March 2005 with Sam Van Hallgren. Since 2012, he has co-hosted alongside Josh Larsen. Filmspotting has now passed 1,000 episodes and has also aired on WBEZ in Chicago. Furthermore, Kempenaar teaches at the University of Iowa, where his courses cover film criticism, sports and cinema, and podcasting. He is also a longtime member of the Chicago Film Critics Association. Additionally, he consults on marketing and content for the Chicago International Film Festival. For twenty years, he also led marketing and content for the Chicago Blackhawks. In 2025, he and Larsen celebrated two decades of the show with the first Filmspotting Fest in Chicago. Notably, Filmspotting was barely a year old when The Departed opened. That timing gives Adam a rare firsthand view of the 2006 film conversation. Find his reviews, Top 5 lists, and Sacred Cow episodes at filmspotting.net.Father Figures on The Departed PodcastFathers haunt every corner of The Departed. Costello grooms young Colin Sullivan from childhood, handing him groceries and shaping his loyalty. By contrast, Billy Costigan grows up with a dead father and a family split between Southie and the North Shore. Captain Queenan, played by Martin Sheen, becomes the steady parent Billy never had. Consequently, Queenan's death lands as the emotional turning point of the film. Meanwhile, Sullivan chases approval from every authority figure around him, from Costello to Ellerby. The film even closes on an open paternity question surrounding Madolyn's pregnancy.The panel digs into how Monahan's script treats the police and the mob as rival families. In practice, both institutions recruit sons, reward obedience, and punish betrayal. Above all, the Taste Buds and Adam ask which surrogate father does the most damage.Gender and Masculinity in The DepartedThe Departed is a crowded film about men performing toughness. Cops trade insults about each other's mothers, sexuality, and manhood. Costello, meanwhile, treats women as property and punchlines. Against that backdrop, Vera Farmiga's Madolyn stands nearly alone as a major female character. Interestingly, Monahan built her from two separate women in Infernal Affairs, one for each mole. As a result, she becomes the hinge between Billy and Colin.That choice raises real questions for the panel. Is Madolyn a fully realized character, or a device that links the two leads? Additionally, the crew considers how Sullivan's private failures mirror his fractured identity. The conversation also weighs whether Scorsese critiques this macho culture or simply enjoys it.Boston, Race, and Tribalism: The Departed 2006 Podcast DebateScorsese sets his story in South Boston, a neighborhood with a fraught racial history. Costello opens the film with a monologue about the Irish, the Italians, and Black Bostonians. Throughout the film, characters toss slurs as casually as they throw punches. Nevertheless, the panel debates what the film actually says about that bigotry.On one hand, the dialogue captures the tribal loyalties behind decades of city tension, including the 1970s busing crisis. On the other hand, some viewers argue the film treats ethnic insults as local color rather than subject. Furthermore, Costello's crew and the state police both run on in-group loyalty and suspicion of outsiders. Therefore, that tribalism powers the entire mole plot. The Taste Buds and Adam ask whether the film interrogates Boston's prejudices or leans on them for authenticity.Career Retrospective: Leonardo DiCaprioThis episode also features a Career Retrospective on Leonardo DiCaprio. The Departed marked his third collaboration with Scorsese, following Gangs of New York and The Aviator. Notably, 2006 was a banner year for him, and Blood Diamond earned him a Best Actor nomination that season. His early work stretches from This Boy's Life and What's Eating Gilbert Grape to Titanic. Later highlights include Catch Me If You Can, Inception, Django Unchained, and The Wolf of Wall Street.DiCaprio finally won the Best Actor Oscar for The Revenant. Since then, he has worked again with Quentin Tarantino, Scorsese, and Paul Thomas Anderson. In total, he has made six feature films with Scorsese. The panel walks through the full filmography, from child actor to elder statesman. However, you will have to listen to hear how the Taste Buds and Adam rank his work.Why The Departed Still MattersThe Departed endures as the film that finally won Scorsese his Oscar. Moreover, it proved a Hollywood remake of a Hong Kong crime film could stand on its own. Its double-agent structure still echoes through crime thrillers and prestige television. Additionally, its performances remain endlessly quotable, especially Wahlberg's profane Sergeant Dignam. Alongside Mystic River and Gone Baby Gone, it helped define the Boston crime cycle of the 2000s. Ultimately, the film still sparks arguments about Scorsese's best work. Those arguments make it perfect bracket material for Movie of the Year: 2006.Related Episodes from Movie of the Year: 2006Movie of the Year 2006: Intro Part 1The Movies of 2006 Bracket Reveal2006 Mixtape Part IBrowse every Movie of the Year episodeFAQ: The Departed Podcast and FilmWhat is The Departed podcast episode about?This Movie of the Year: 2006 episode features the Taste Buds and guest Adam Kempenaar discussing Martin Scorsese's The Departed.

Edie Falco says she is nothing like Carmela Soprano. Nor does she have much in common with Nurse Jackie. But Falco made these characters two of the most identifiable and human women in television history. She has an armful of Emmys, Golden Globes, and Screen Actors Guild Awards—and a cadre of dedicated fans—to prove it. Along the way, she's battled cancer, raised two children on her own, and is a recovering alcoholic. But Falco doesn't want your sympathy; she tells host Alec Baldwin that her greatest professional accomplishment is creating a fun, respectful atmosphere on-set. She credits her multiple successes to good luck, great mentors, and says there's no predicting which way her career could have gone—or will go yet.

Welcome to another episode of The Rizzuto Show, where getting stitches removed somehow leads to naked shopping, bathroom trauma, fart acceptance, a landfill cat rescue and a serious debate over whether anybody under 25 knows what cash is anymore.This funny show starts with Rizz preparing to finally get his stitches removed and worrying about the scar underneath. Naturally, this becomes a conversation about aging, falling down stairs, mysterious back injuries, hearing loss, stretching just to remain operational and the depressing discovery that modern medicine may be helping us live longer without necessarily making those extra years more comfortable. Welcome to the Geriatric Morning Show. Please bend at the knees when exiting. Then Rizz offers the crew a choice between a nice story and somebody getting naked at Home Goods. Guess which one wins.A Florida shopper reportedly walks into Home Goods, apologizes to a woman, drops his pants and eventually ends up wandering around the store naked. This somehow inspires Lern to consider whether shopping at Home Goods completely nude might actually be enjoyable under the correct circumstances. Soon the crew is discussing nudist resorts, naked grocery shopping and towel etiquette because we apparently abandoned the original story somewhere around decorative throw pillows.That also gives Rafe the opportunity to share his own recent encounter with unexpected nudity: walking into a restaurant bathroom and finding a grown man at the urinal with his pants and underwear completely around his ankles. Full moon. Broad daylight.Rafe's brain immediately activates what Lern describes as the human security system designed to detect either exposed butts or approaching lions. It's science. Probably.The episode then moves into an alleged MMA fighter-versus-chimpanzee story that has the crew firmly rooting for the animal and questioning every decision that led humanity to this particular moment. Thankfully, we eventually get an animal story everybody can celebrate: Mike, an eight-year-old cat accidentally thrown away inside an old couch.After the couch reaches a massive landfill, workers miraculously spot Mike stranded above a trash pit. A crew uses heavy equipment to help rescue him before animal control eventually gets him identified and reunited with his owner. Mike survives. Humanity gets one point back. Then comes one of modern society's smallest yet most powerful social anxieties: the restaurant payment screen. “It's going to ask you a quick question.” WE KNOW WHAT THE QUESTION IS.The gang debates tipping pressure, servers standing beside you while you choose a percentage and the awkward eye contact that turns paying for lunch into a hostage negotiation. A viral server offers a surprisingly simple solution: hand over the device and talk to somebody else while the customer finishes paying. Meanwhile, Gen Alpha has apparently solved another social crisis entirely: being embarrassed about farting.A dance teacher says younger students just let them rip without carrying the shame previous generations dragged around for decades. Moon is thrilled. Lern shares some personal wind-instrument history. Suddenly the Rizzuto Show is analyzing bass versus treble fart tones because NPR wasn't available.The generational divide continues when Rizz watches a young Panera cashier struggle with actual paper money. That launches a debate over whether cash is still king, whether digital money is safer, what happens if the power grid goes down and whether anyone really wants to shave pieces off a gold bar to pay for bananas at Schnucks.From there, the crew remembers the inconveniences younger generations escaped: waiting beside the family phone for an important call, giant telephone cords, payphones, snow-day announcements, shared phone lines and parents losing their minds when somebody dared call during dinner. But this episode also takes a meaningful turn.Rizz reflects on September 11 and what it means that an event still so vivid for people who experienced it is now history taught to younger generations who weren't alive when it happened. He shares memories of being in Manhattan that morning, the confusion surrounding the attacks and the way people came together afterward.The crew also discusses Wells Crowther, remembered as the Man in the Red Bandana, who repeatedly helped people escape the South Tower before losing his own life. Rizz connects the story to conversations with his daughter and the importance of remembering not only what happened, but the people who ran toward danger to help others. Well, this one gets uncomfortable immediately.The Rizzuto Show discusses the fallout surrounding former Wheel of Fortune announcer Jim Thornton and the chat room he was reportedly spotted visiting on a flight. The organization behind that online community responds to the controversy, and suddenly the crew finds itself having a much more complicated conversation than anybody probably expected this early in the morning.The discussion centers on a difficult question: if someone recognizes that they're having dangerous or disturbing thoughts and genuinely wants professional help before ever harming another person, where should that help come from — and where is the line between providing treatment and creating an environment that could normalize or encourage those thoughts?It's exactly the kind of conversation where this comedy podcast somehow wanders from psychology and morality to robot technology and eventually a hypothetical island solution nobody should ever allow this crew to administer. Thankfully, Crap on Celebrities eventually arrives to rescue everyone from that conversation. Sort of.The Foo Fighters have quietly released a six-track live EP featuring performances from intimate club shows, with proceeds supporting local charities fighting food insecurity. So that's genuinely nice. Then the Spice Girls decide to emotionally clothesline their fans. After teasing a major announcement and getting reunion-starved fans dreaming about a possible Sphere residency, the big reveal turns out to be…a 14-disc singles collection. FOURTEEN DISCS.Somewhere, somebody had already started explaining to their spouse why spending irresponsible amounts of money to hear “Wannabe” in Las Vegas was actually a sound financial decision. Instead, congratulations: here are B-sides.Michael Jackson memorabilia also enters the conversation when one of his crystal-covered gloves from the Victory Tour heads to auction. The crew is shocked by the projected price and immediately starts calculating its future value like they're suddenly Sotheby's with fart jokes.Snoop Dogg is announced as host of the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards, Nirvana is set for the Video Vanguard Award, and the gang wonders who exactly the VMAs are for anymore. Once upon a time, you planned your entire night around MTV. Now we're explaining to the children that MTV technically still exists.St. Louis gets dragged into Crap on Celebrities too, with Sexyy Red facing a lawsuit over allegations that she posted a woman's home address and encouraged followers to attack her. Her attorney disputes the allegations, but it gives the show another opportunity to demonstrate why “celebrity news” is sometimes just a nicer phrase for “what the hell is happening?”And then we get Rick Springfield. During an appearance on Joe Rogan, Springfield discussed spending time entertaining American troops in Vietnam in 1968 and described being caught in an attack. According to his story, soldiers had him fire a mortar toward an area where enemy forces were believed to be moving. The next day, he says, a soldier told him, “you got one.” That revelation leads to a very serious discussion about the emotional weight Springfield says he still carries from the experience. It also leads Rafe to have…questions. A lot of questions.The crew debates the details of the story, how a teenage musician visiting troops ends up operating a mortar, what training would have been necessary, how anyone could have confirmed the result afterward and whether decades can alter the way people remember extraordinary experiences.Celebrity chaos continues with Nobody Wants This, the return of Practical Magic, Sandra Bullock, some rough Rotten Tomatoes scores, Liam Neeson continuing his lifelong commitment to finding people, and an Oasis documentary apparently becoming the safest movie choice of the weekend.The crew also discusses a documentary examining Alec Baldwin during the legal fallout surrounding the Rust shooting before Lern tries to brighten a show filled with unusually serious subjects by bringing in Dolly Parton and a posthumously released recording of “Bound to Ride.” That immediately creates another important Rizzuto Show question: exactly where are you supposed to listen to bluegrass? Driving sadly through the countryside? Silver Dollar City? Somewhere near Branson while buying a pop gun? We may never know.Then it's celebrity birthdays, Brian De Palma appreciation, a reminder that Carlito's Way deserves your attention and, because we apparently weren't already operating at maximum weirdness, the traditional porno birthday.Nothing exposes how differently your coworkers' brains function quite like asking them to name a country in Europe and putting concert tickets on the line. The Rizzuto Show brings us another round of “Just the Two of Us,” the deceptively simple contest where callers pick two members of the show, Rafe asks five questions, and those two people attempt to match at least three answers. Easy, right? Absolutely not.Before the competition begins, Rizz takes a trip through “Back in the Day,” remembering everything from The Carol Burnett Show and Little House on the Prairie to Warrant's “Cherry Pie,” Johnny Unitas, John Ritter and one of the Internet's earliest great gifts: Nick Nolte's spectacularly disheveled mugshot. Then it's time to give away concert tickets, and suddenly this becomes the most stressful game show in St. Louis. The prize pile is loaded with Candlebox, Violent Femmes, Toadies, Babymetal and the final precious pairs of Rush tickets. Unfortunately for the listeners, their ability to attend these concerts depends entirely on whether members of the Rizz Show can agree on incredibly complicated concepts like “an ocean.”Devon and Moon kick things off for caller Adam, who wants Rush tickets. They immediately connect on France, miss each other on states beginning with M, recover with the Arch as a St. Louis tourist attraction and seal the deal with the Pacific Ocean. Adam is going to Rush. For once, this show has successfully accomplished something.Then Rizz and Moon attempt to win Babymetal tickets for Paul. They agree on baseball but immediately demonstrate why this game is dangerous when “name an Olympic sport” produces hockey and curling. Dumbbell saves them on gym equipment, but sledding versus skiing and NFL versus MLB finish the job. Sorry, Paul. The Babymetal dream has died at the hands of winter recreation.Rizz and Moon get another chance when Brad wants Violent Femmes tickets, and this time food brings everybody together. Peanut butter and jelly. Sausage pizza. Vanilla ice cream. McDonald's. Beautiful.Unfortunately, the phrase “healthy breakfast cereal” gives us Grape-Nuts, a cereal the show describes with all the enthusiasm normally reserved for eating landscaping material. Somehow that leads to confessions about demolishing boxes of Lucky Charms and Corn Pops, including the dangerous cycle of adding cereal because you have leftover milk, then adding milk because you have leftover cereal, until the box is empty and you're sitting alone with your shame. This is the nutritional guidance you expect from The Rizzuto Show. Then comes the final pair of Rush tickets.Kyle chooses Lern and Devon, setting up an alleged generational showdown between a 41-year-old and a 30-year-old. Things immediately become catastrophic. “Name a superhero.” Superman. Wonder Woman. Oh no... “Name a Disney animated movie.” The Little Mermaid. Bambi. OH NO. At this point, Kyle is watching his Rush tickets disappear in real time while Patient Zero starts sniffing around the wreckage. But then something happens. Monopoly. Netflix. Instagram. Three straight matches. THE COMEBACK IS COMPLETE. Kyle is going to Rush, Lern and Devon have successfully bridged the generational divide, and feminism survives another morning.Justin chooses Rizz and Devon for the final game, with Candlebox tickets waiting at the finish line. They match immediately on guitar. Then rock. Things are looking suspiciously competent. Naturally, it cannot last.Asked to name a famous rock band from the 1980s, Devon goes with Mötley Crüe while Rizz lands elsewhere, launching an argument over what exactly qualifies as an “'80s band” and whether Rush counts just because Moving Pictures came out in 1981. Then comes the holiday-song disaster. Devon chooses Mariah Carey's “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” Rizz chooses “Jingle Bells.” Suddenly we're debating whether the most obvious Christmas song is determined by history, kindergarten classrooms or how aggressively Mariah Carey emerges from hibernation every November. It all comes down to one final question: Name something you find on a desk. The obvious possibilities are endless. Computer. Stapler. Tape dispenser. Mouse. Rizz and Devon? Pen... and LAMP. “There will be no Candlebox today.” Brutal.Along the way, the crew also defends Candlebox's honor, remembers their early Pointfest days, argues about cereal, discusses the Raygun breakdancing documentary, makes questionable winter-activity suggestions and repeatedly proves that knowing someone for years does not mean you have any clue what word is about to come out of their mouth. That's the beauty of “Just the Two of Us.” The questions aren't difficult. The people answering them are.This episode is daily comedy at its most beautifully unnecessary: great concert tickets, easy questions, terrible instincts, miraculous comebacks, wounded callers and an astonishing amount of emotional investment in whether two adults can independently write down “McDonald's.”Come for the Rush tickets.

Once upon a time, you planned your entire night around MTV. Now we're explaining to the children that MTV technically still exists.St. Louis gets dragged into Crap on Celebrities too, with Sexyy Red facing a lawsuit over allegations that she posted a woman's home address and encouraged followers to attack her. Her attorney disputes the allegations, but it gives the show another opportunity to demonstrate why “celebrity news” is sometimes just a nicer phrase for “what the hell is happening?”And then we get Rick Springfield.During an appearance on Joe Rogan, Springfield discussed spending time entertaining American troops in Vietnam in 1968 and described being caught in an attack. According to his story, soldiers had him fire a mortar toward an area where enemy forces were believed to be moving. The next day, he says, a soldier told him, “you got one.”That revelation leads to a very serious discussion about the emotional weight Springfield says he still carries from the experience.It also leads Rafe to have…questions.A lot of questions.The crew debates the details of the story, how a teenage musician visiting troops ends up operating a mortar, what training would have been necessary, how anyone could have confirmed the result afterward and whether decades can alter the way people remember extraordinary experiences.It's heavy, strange and exactly the kind of story this comedy podcast can spend fifteen seconds respectfully processing before somebody notices Springfield used the phrase “hard to land with me” while talking about firing a mortar.Celebrity chaos continues with Nobody Wants This, the return of Practical Magic, Sandra Bullock, some rough Rotten Tomatoes scores, Liam Neeson continuing his lifelong commitment to finding people, and an Oasis documentary apparently becoming the safest movie choice of the weekend.The crew also discusses a documentary examining Alec Baldwin during the legal fallout surrounding the Rust shooting before Lern tries to brighten a show filled with unusually serious subjects by bringing in Dolly Parton and a posthumously released recording of “Bound to Ride.”That immediately creates another important Rizzuto Show question: exactly where are you supposed to listen to bluegrass?Driving sadly through the countryside? Silver Dollar City? Somewhere near Branson while buying a pop gun?We may never know.Then it's celebrity birthdays, Brian De Palma appreciation, a reminder that Carlito's Way deserves your attention and, because we apparently weren't already operating at maximum weirdness, the traditional porno birthday.Today's show is a comedy podcast built around the Rizz Show's greatest skill: taking one genuinely difficult topic, following it with celebrity gossip, somehow finding Rick Springfield holding a mortar in Vietnam, and ending up discussing Spice Girls box sets, Dolly Parton and movies nobody should ever have been forced to title.It's thoughtful. It's uncomfortable. It's ridiculous.In other words, everybody made it to work.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Jonathan Ames returns to the podcast to discuss his latest novel, A Past Without Pictures, which hits shelves on September 8th. He has long been one of my favorite writers, and in this episode, we chat about the book's path from Los Angeles down to the Gulf Coast of Alabama. We discuss how protagonist Maria Cole reflects the sharp, feral edge of the LA coyotes Ames sometimes sees on his walks, as well as her origin story as a quick one-line police officer in the first Happy Doll novel. Ames also opens up about the six-year path to adapting the novel Kockroach for the screen, a project recently filmed in Australia starring Chris Hemsworth, Taron Egerton, Zazie Beetz, Alec Baldwin, and Rachel Sennott.We also spend some time talking about the craft itself and how to navigate the mental noise that comes with creating. Jonathan shares how patience can serve as an antidote to creative anxiety, reminding us that showing up at the desk every day brings a grounded reward that matters far more than external timelines. If you grab the hardcover of A Past Without Pictures, you'll find a great bonus in the back—the first two chapters of the upcoming fourth Happy Doll book.

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, Marty gives Clif the movie The Wrong Missy to watch and Clif gives Marty the movie Married to the Mob to watch. First up is Married to the Mob, Jonathan Demme's 1988 crime comedy starring Michelle Pfeiffer, Matthew Modine, Alec Baldwin and a whole lot of familiar faces. Clif and Marty take a look at Angela DeMarco, a mobster's widow trying to escape the life she's married into, only to find the FBI and the mob making that considerably more difficult. They also dig into Demme's strange, cartoon-like tone, the eclectic David Byrne soundtrack and the staggering amount of 1980's energy packed into one movie.Then it's time for The Wrong Missy, the 2020 Netflix comedy starring David Spade and Lauren Lapkus. A simple texting mistake sends the wrong woman to a company retreat in Hawaii. Clif and Marty spend the next thirty minutes asking the most important question imaginable: after the first few minutes of this date, why didn't this guy just run? The discussion covers the movie's broad comedy, Lauren Lapkus' commitment to the material, David Spade's need for someone to play off of and why this particular brand of Netflix comedy can feel both entertaining and remarkably disposable.Along the way: Blondie, David Byrne, Matthew Modine still being Louden Swain, Joan Cusack's five-second appearance, Tom Cruise choosing Cocktail over Married to the Mob, 1980's title design and bad blind dates.#TalkingPondo #FilmPodcast #MarriedToTheMob #TheWrongMissy #MichellePfeiffer #80sMovies #MovieReview Support the showFind our films here:The Love Song of William H ShawRevenge of ZoeWriting Fren-ZeeMaking Pondo on FacebookBlueskyInstagramMaking Pondo on Letterboxd:Season OneSeason TwoSeason ThreeSeason FourTheme Song "The Rain" by Russ PacePhotos by Geoffrey Notkin

The Data Center Fire Risk Nobody's Talking About | For Humanity #91

For Humanity: An AI Safety Podcast

Gary spent 50+ years in public safety — police officer, then two decades in the fire service as an EMT and wildland firefighter, then a 911 center director and emergency manager, then six years running Apple's global public safety business. Last December, he and his wife co-founded a data center opposition group in Round Rock, Texas, after learning a ninth data center was headed for their town. A few months later, the Sabey Data Center a few miles from his house caught fire. He pulled the fire report and the hazardous materials records himself, through open records requests. What he found is the subject of this episode.The numbers nobody's citingGary rattles these off from memory, because he's spent the last several months compiling them:* An Amazon data center in Ohio logged 84 fires between 2021 and 2025. The same facility has, in some cases, delayed fire department entry by up to an hour over security protocols — with an active fire burning.* A Chesterfield County, Virginia facility had 4 to 7 fires in a single year, all lithium battery failures.* A data center in France lost multiple buildings on one campus to fire.* The Round Rock fire in March 2024 — lead-acid batteries, not even the more volatile lithium-ion kind — took 14 pieces of fire apparatus, a specialized hazmat team, and 44 firefighters just under five hours to control. Damage estimates have climbed from an initial $2 million to closer to $11 million.That last one is the one Gary knows best, because it happened in his backyard. The smoke — carcinogens, heavy metals — drifted into an immediately adjacent residential neighborhood on a foggy, low-wind morning, so it banked down and stayed low instead of dispersing. Firefighting runoff went into a storm drain that feeds a creek tributary. No public notification was issued. No media alert went out. “This was held very, very quietly by the city,” Gary says.Why it's so hard to actually put outThe Round Rock fire involved lead-acid batteries. Most new capacity is lithium-ion, which is a different problem entirely. Lithium cells fail through thermal runaway: one cell overheats — from a manufacturing defect, overcharging, water intrusion, physical damage, even a coding error or a deliberate cyberattack — and it heats the cells next to it, which heat the cells next to those. In a sealed building, the vented gases can build up to the point of explosion. And extinguishing the visible flame doesn't mean the reaction has stopped: crews see fires “go out” and reignite hours later because the heat inside the module never actually dropped.Then there's the water math. A data center fire can take 1 to 2 million gallons of water to extinguish. Round Rock has a municipal hydrant system that can supply that. Most of the towns where data centers are actually being sited — rural Texas, rural Pennsylvania, the four-hours-outside-New-Orleans sites Gary references — don't. A rural water tender truck carries 2,000 to 3,000 gallons. Getting a million gallons to a fire with a 2,000-gallon truck means roughly 500 round trips between the water source and the fire. That's the arithmetic a volunteer fire department is looking at when a facility the size of a small city catches fire in their jurisdiction.The standard that exists — and isn't being enforcedUL 9540 is the regulation for how battery energy storage systems should be built and separated to contain a fire if one starts. UL 9540A is the test standard that verifies compliance. It was updated in March 2026. Round Rock, which only adopted the 2024 International Fire Code in December, hasn't incorporated the update yet — and Gary is careful to note this isn't a Round Rock-specific failure. Most jurisdictions are in the same position, and many rural counties in Texas can't even have a fire marshal until they hit a population of 250,000. Out of 254 counties, most never will.Layered on top of outdated code: NDAs. Data center operators frequently won't share emergency plans, building layouts, or battery composition with the fire departments that would have to respond to their fires. “If there's something they want to hide that badly,” Gary says, “then maybe they should take their business elsewhere.”Why this might be the argument that actually landsGary's read, after four appearances before Texas House and Senate committees in the past two months: noise and water complaints get pre-empted. Developers show up to a town a year before residents hear anything, work the local elected officials, and have counterarguments ready by the time anyone objects publicly. Fire risk is new enough that it hasn't been pre-argued yet — which is part of why his first committee testimony picked up tens of thousands of views after Alec Baldwin reposted it, despite Gary having no public platform of his own.It also cuts across party lines in a way almost nothing else does right now. Gary points to Texas Governor Abbott's abrupt shift from “we're going to be the number one data center state” to ordering an audit — which Gary reads more as pre-election positioning than genuine reform, timed to clear the way for large, established operators (Google, Amazon, Vantage) while filtering out speculative developers who aren't shovel-ready yet. Even so, he sees it as evidence that the politics have shifted: “opposition to data centers is probably the most bipartisan issue I've seen in all my years of voting.”If you want to do something with thisGary's suggestion isn't complicated. Go to your fire marshal, or your fire chief if there's no marshal, and ask:* What's our current fire code, and does it specifically address battery energy storage systems?* Has this facility been tested to UL 9540A?* What training have our firefighters received on battery and electrical fires?* How many stations, personnel, and apparatus do we actually have, relative to a facility this size?None of these require expertise. They just require someone to ask, on the record, before the next facility gets approved — because once it's built, Gary's experience says getting the answers gets a lot harder.Protect Round Rock has the fire report and hazmat documentation from the Sabey fire posted at protectroundrock.org, for anyone building the same case in their own town.What to do nextThe full conversation also gets into where this connects to the broader AI risk conversation Gary's been pulled into by proximity — job displacement, Flock camera surveillance, and the extinction-risk debate — and why he thinks the anti-data-center coalition, being genuinely bipartisan, might be the most persuadable audience for those harder conversations.

What if the biggest thing standing between you and the life you want isn't your circumstances, your past, or your limitations, but the identity you've been programmed to believe is you? In this powerful conversation, Darin sits down with health entrepreneur, coach, and author Jim Curtis to explore what it really takes to release the past, reclaim personal responsibility, and consciously become a new version of yourself. After developing a spinal cord lesion at just 19 that eventually left him unable to walk, Jim spent years searching everywhere from major medical institutions to shamans, healers, hypnosis, and spiritual teachers for someone who could fix him. Eventually, his search brought him back to himself. Jim shares the framework behind his new book, The Book of Possibility: Release, Align, Become. Together, he and Darin unpack how childhood programming becomes adult identity, why awareness is the first step toward freedom, how resentment keeps us attached to old versions of ourselves, and why changing your life often requires having the courage to become someone your current identity doesn't yet recognize. They also explore the dangers of outsourcing your spiritual growth, psychedelics as tools rather than destinations, radical responsibility, forgiveness, purpose, human connection, and why the coming age of AI and automation may make genuine face-to-face connection more important than ever. Ultimately, this is a conversation about possibility: not waiting for someone to save you, but realizing that you are the possibility you've been searching for. What You'll Learn Why Jim believes you need to become your own guru instead of constantly searching for someone to fix you How a spinal cord lesion at 19 completely changed the trajectory of Jim's life Why pain and suffering can become gateways to transformation How childhood experiences and subconscious programming shape adult identity Jim's Release, Align, Become framework for creating lasting change Why forgiveness can free you without requiring reconciliation How radical responsibility breaks the victim-villain dynamic Why changing your identity can feel terrifying even when your current life is making you miserable The difference between using psychedelics as transformational tools and using them to escape Why human connection, purpose, curiosity, and presence may become increasingly valuable in an automated world Chapters 00:00:03 – Welcome to SuperLife 00:00:34 – Sponsor: MycoDog 00:02:01 – Meet Jim Curtis and The Book of Possibility 00:04:00 – What if you are the possibility? 00:05:17 – Why people stop themselves from dreaming 00:05:50 – Stop outsourcing your spiritual growth 00:07:05 – No one is coming to save you 00:08:28 – Ego, shadow work, and creating space to choose 00:09:10 – Why you should question the guru 00:10:11 – Ram Dass and the reality of being human 00:11:15 – Darin's first experience with ayahuasca 00:12:17 – Psychedelics can open the door, but then what? 00:13:02 – Sponsor: Manna Vitality 00:14:57 – Psychedelics, ibogaine, and bringing the lessons back to life 00:16:48 – Powerful tools aren't meant to become an escape 00:17:13 – Hypno-meditation and changing yourself from within 00:18:23 – Why Jim wouldn't take away your pain 00:19:09 – Jim's beliefs about trauma, illness, and healing 00:20:05 – The spinal cord lesion that changed Jim's life 00:20:55 – Losing his ability to walk and searching the world for healing 00:21:44 – Discovering hypnosis, meditation, and altered states 00:22:39 – Meeting Dr. Brian Weiss and experiencing past-life regression 00:23:11 – Wall Street, WebMD, and walking away from the wrong identity 00:24:10 – Jim's health collapses again 00:25:25 – The wake-up call that completely changed his future 00:26:02 – How radically changing your identity changes your life 00:27:31 – The Release, Align, Become method 00:28:12 – How childhood programming becomes adult identity 00:29:01 – You have to see the cage before you can escape it 00:29:24 – Forgiveness as a tool for releasing the past 00:30:02 – Escaping the cage of resentment 00:30:57 – Are adults still reacting from their eight-year-old selves? 00:31:25 – You are not your thoughts, emotions, or identity 00:32:05 – Why becoming someone new feels terrifying 00:33:24 – On the other side of pain is possibility 00:35:10 – Darin takes responsibility for the end of his marriage 00:37:14 – Breaking the villain-victim dynamic 00:38:01 – The small conversations that create enormous change 00:39:12 – Releasing the old self 00:39:44 – Aligning with what you actually want 00:40:30 – Who must you become to create that life? 00:41:15 – Creating and embodying a new identity 00:41:54 – Why healthy choices become acts of self-honor 00:42:37 – Building health into your identity instead of obsessing over it 00:44:07 – Expanding your consciousness and seeing new possibilities 00:45:26 – Reprogramming the brain through Jim's book and hypno-meditations 00:46:10 – What happens when possibilities start opening 00:46:51 – The possibility isn't outside you.

You don't have to spend your entire life searching for the next guru, healer, relationship, achievement, or external thing that will finally make you whole. Become aware of the programming you absorbed, release the identity that no longer serves you, align with what you actually want, and start becoming the person capable of living it. The moment you stop waiting to be saved and recognize that you are the source, possibility stops being something somewhere in the future. It becomes who you are."

Message Dan and MikeGlengarry Glen Ross turns 34 this year, and we're finally giving David Mamet's Pulitzer Prize-winning play its due on the show. James Foley's 1992 film adaptation brings together an absolutely stacked cast — Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, Alec Baldwin, Ed Harris, Kevin Spacey, and Alan Arkin — for the story of four desperate real estate salesmen pitted against each other in a brutal sales contest. We dig into how this film actually came together, including the fascinating parallel between Pacino championing this project the same way Sean Penn championed Foley's At Close Range, and how Pacino personally scouted Kevin Spacey on Broadway for the role of Williamson. We also talk through the casting history of Shelley "The Machine" Levene, a role that nearly went in a very different direction before Jack Lemmon delivered one of the great performances of his career.We get into why the film's most famous scene — the one everyone quotes — wasn't even in Mamet's original play, and why we think the "sales" angle is honestly the least interesting theme once you dig into what this movie is really about. We also trace the play's legacy through its Broadway revivals, from Joe Mantegna's original Tony-winning run as Ricky Roma, through the 2015 revival that brought Pacino back to the stage alongside Bobby Cannavale, all the way to 2025's star-studded cast.Before we get into the film, we open with a story about a very ill-fated car-buying negotiation involving a local salesman, and we close things out with a confession about how we got worked over by a couple of very skilled salesmen on the streets of San Diego during Comic-Con. Fair warning: this one earns its language warning, but we'd argue it's essential viewing regardless.

Our summer tradition at Here’s the Thing continues, as staff members choose their favorite conversations from the archives for our Summer Staff Pick series. This week, we revisit Alec’s conversation with Justine Bateman. In 2023, as the writers’ and actors' strike in Hollywood stretched into the fall, many have called this moment “existential.” After negotiations with AMPTP, the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, broke down, SAG-AFTRA and WGA members took to picket lines over dwindling wages and the use of artificial intelligence, which may change the entertainment industry forever. Writer, director, and producer Justine Bateman is one guild member warning of A.I.'s potentially devastating influence. Following her roles in Family Ties and Satisfaction, among many others, Bateman transitioned to working behind the scenes as a filmmaker and author. She earned her Computer Science and Digital Media Management degree from UCLA in 2016, which has become all the more relevant facing the rise of A.I. Bateman speaks with Alec Baldwin about the threat A.I. poses to the entire entertainment industry, how the business has changed since she first started in it, and what drives her creative work.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for August 13, 2026. We dig into why Democrats are running on impeachment instead of solutions, pointing to Massachusetts Congressman Jake Auchincloss naming impeachment of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth a midterm priority — and we lay out why that signals a party with nothing to offer on cost of living, the border, or public safety, while praising Speaker Mike Johnson's handling of misconduct without resorting to impeachment theater. We also revisit the 2018 "orange man bad" playbook and question whether it still works given Zoran Mamdani's mayoral win. In our Top 3, we cover Flock Safety's new privacy controls on license plate readers, the WNBA's decision not to change its transgender eligibility policy despite controversy from players like Sophie Cunningham, and the indictment of a former Southern Poverty Law Center finance officer accused of funneling money to hate groups. We get fired up over the vandalism at the World War II Memorial, arguing that spray-painted graffiti has no place on sacred ground honoring the 400,000 Americans who died in the war. Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson, tackle a listener question about whether on-screen kissing counts as cheating, running through Hollywood stories from Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger to George Strait's famous cowboy-hat kiss dodge in Pure Country. And we call out media outlets for reporting details of the Secret Service's decoy plane maneuver that got President Trump safely out of Turkey, arguing the coverage burns a tactic that could protect his life again. We go Digging Deep on solar power, questioning why the "cheapest energy in human history" still needs government subsidies while data centers building their own power plants are choosing natural gas and nuclear instead. We circle back to the WNBA to argue the transgender eligibility question shouldn't require committees and consultants, then hit a Bright Spot with wildfire acreage at its lowest since the satellite era began, the Great Barrier Reef's rebound, and a quiet Atlantic hurricane season. Border czar Tom Holman gets a shoutout for record ICE arrest numbers in June and July, and we close with a Moment of Whoa: UC Davis water polo player and lifeguard Lily Velling's rescue of three struggling swimmers at Seattle's Seafair, earning her the title of Lady Guardian of Lake Washington.

Mostly Film – Take 243: Harrison Ford In Review — Episode 4Peak Ford. Jonathan and JP cover the three-year stretch — 1992, 1993, 1994 — where Harrison Ford was the biggest movie star in the world outside of his own franchises. Combined worldwide gross across three films: approximately $572 million. All three opened at number one. One of them held number one for six consecutive weeks.First, Patriot Games. Alec Baldwin was unavailable due to a Broadway commitment, McTiernan left when Baldwin left, Tom Clancy publicly asked for his name removed from the production, and Ford stepped into Jack Ryan anyway. The original ending tested so badly they scrapped it entirely and reshot the climax — during which Ford accidentally hit Sean Bean in the face with a boat hook and gave him a scar that the Sharpe makeup department later leaned into for authenticity. The satellite strike sequence caused brief concern at the Pentagon. Roger Ebert complained about the Indiana Jones ending. The question: does Ford make Jack Ryan his own, or is he always playing Alec Baldwin's character?Then The Fugitive. Twenty-five drafts, nine writers, six editors, and a script that still wasn't finished when they started shooting. Baldwin, Costner, Douglas, and Nolte were all considered before Ford. Nobody involved had seen the original TV series. Tommy Lee Jones improvised "I don't care" during a freezing sewer sequence, told Joe Pantoliano nobody would win any awards for this film, then won the Oscar, the Golden Globe, and every critics' prize going. The train crash was 27 cameras, one take, no miniatures. The St. Patrick's Day parade was shot in the real parade with no rehearsal. Seven Oscar nominations including Best Picture. The only TV adaptation ever nominated for that award. The big question for the episode: is The Fugitive the best film Harrison Ford ever made outside of Star Wars and Indiana Jones?Then Clear and Present Danger — three screenwriters, Clancy still not fully happy, and Ford's own stated favourite of the two Jack Ryan films he made. A film whose central thesis is that telling the truth to Congress is more dangerous than participating in a cover-up. It felt provocative in 1994. It has dated extremely well.After 1994, Ford never made another Jack Ryan film. The question that hangs over the episode — and sets up Episode 5: what happens to Harrison Ford's career after the peak?

That Show Hasn't Been Funny In Years: an SNL podcast on Radio Misfits

Nick looks back at one of the funniest and strangest recurring sketches in Saturday Night Live history: The Legend of Bill Brasky. Created by Adam McKay and Will Ferrell, these late-night classics feature a table full of loud, drunken businessmen swapping increasingly outrageous stories about the mythical Bill Brasky, whose unbelievable exploits as a lover, salesman, father, inventor, and all-around larger-than-life figure become more absurd with every tale. You’ll hear several of the best Brasky sketches, featuring Will Ferrell alongside David Koechner, Mark McKinney, Tim Meadows, and hosts Alec Baldwin and John Goodman. Nick also shares behind-the-scenes stories and explores why these sketches remain some of the weirdest, funniest, and most unforgettable work produced by the legendary McKay and Ferrell writing team.

Chosen by Dave, and adapted by David Mamet from his Pulitzer Prize-winning stage play, Glengarry Glen Ross was directed by James Foley and assembled one of the most formidable acting line-ups of the 1990s: Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, Ed Harris, Alan Arkin, Kevin Spacey, Jonathan Pryce and Alec Baldwin. Made for an estimated $12.5 million, the film turns offices, restaurants and rain-soaked streets into a pressure cooker of desperation, ego and spectacularly aggressive salesmanship. Mamet reportedly received $1 million to adapt his own play, expanding the material specifically for the screen.Despite strong reviews, the film earned approximately $10.7 million at the North American box office and was not an immediate commercial success. Its reputation continued to grow through VHS, television and home-video releases, with Jack Lemmon winning the Volpi Cup for Best Actor at the Venice Film Festival and Al Pacino receiving Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations. It is now regarded as a cult classic, particularly among actors, salespeople and anyone who has ever endured a motivational meeting conducted by someone who clearly despises them.Trailer Guy SynopsisIn a struggling Chicago real-estate office, four salesmen are fighting for their livelihoods.First prize is a Cadillac. Second prize is a set of steak knives. Third prize… is unemployment.With the best leads locked away and the clock running down, every conversation becomes a contest, every customer becomes prey, and every colleague becomes a possible enemy. This week, closing the deal is not merely business.It is survival.Fun FactsDavid Mamet based the original play partly on his own experiences working in Chicago real-estate offices during the late 1960s.Alec Baldwin's character, Blake, does not appear in the original stage play. Mamet created him exclusively for the film adaptation.Baldwin appears in only one scene, yet his performance produced many of the film's most quoted lines and became a lasting part of sales culture.The famous “Always Be Closing” speech has been referenced and parodied in television shows, comedy sketches, advertising and corporate training sessions—sometimes by people who may have missed the fact that the scene is not exactly presenting healthy management advice.The movie's title refers to two fictional property developments: Glengarry Highlands and Glen Ross Farms.Al Pacino was the only member of the principal cast to receive an Oscar nomination, earning a Best Supporting Actor nomination for his performance as Ricky Roma.Jack Lemmon reportedly considered Shelley Levene one of his favourite roles, describing the character as someone who had once been successful but could no longer understand why his methods had stopped working.Jonathan Pryce's character, James Lingk, is the only significant male customer seen in the film, making his uncomfortable conversation with Roma one of the story's few glimpses outside the sales team's competitive world.Much of the cast had extensive theatrical experience, helping the dialogue-heavy production retain the rhythm, precision and intensity of a live stage performance.Support the ShowIf you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠.If you're listening on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, leaving us a 5-star review (and a short comment) really helps more people discover the show.

Before you proceed, I  want to warn you, that this episode does contain graphic content that some may find disturbing. Vivace is a very bright woman who received her undergraduate and graduate degree in Biology from Cornell University. She worked in the medical field for twelve years before becoming  a speaker and life coach. My guest explains that "my mother was my BFF and she lives for her children." This was all terribly hard because Vivace always wanted her mother "to feel  valued and honored yet she was at the bottom of everyone's totem pole." Unfortunately, the abuse toward she and her mother started when Vivace was very young and continued until both women left the family, leaving behind the two sons as they chose to remain with their father. Yet, Vivace recalls asking her mother on a regular basis  "can we leave today, can we leave today" but it was years before they left.  From a young age, Vivace would confront her father verbally about the abuse, but her bravery came with a price.  With $100 in their pocket, both women left the horrific beatings behind and found shelter with family members who unfortunately knew of the abuse, but never came to Jaleh's rescue. Through many years of depression, pain, anger, resentment and a planned suicide,  Vivace began her healing process through therapy, research and seeking the truth.  She uses her past experience as a tool to help her clients improve their self worth and confidence through compassion and understanding. Ultimately, the client has to realize that the possibilities are limitless.     Website:https://fierceselfconfidence.com Instagram: @vivacemaxvictor YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNiDk4sN1vUlYOrQ_gg8mDA About Vivace:  MEDIA Vivace was most recently featured on NETFLIX' “Buying Beverly Hills” – which was one of NETFLIX Top 10 shows when it aired Vivace has also been featured on: Bravo's Million Dollar Listing NY Fox Business Fox Nation CourtTV Newsmax Media commentator on celebrity relationships and scandals such as Tom & Gisele, Brad and Angelina, Alec Baldwin, Joe Rogan, Simone Biles, Johnny Depp and others.

Some mornings you wake up expecting another normal daily comedy show.Then the building catches everyone's attention with a fire alarm, Rizz refuses to evacuate because apparently radio hosts go down with the ship, and somehow the conversation spirals into MySpace, CDs making a comeback, William Shatner becoming a metal frontman at 95, and why nobody under 25 knows who Hole is anymore.Just another Tuesday.This episode starts with excitement surrounding the upcoming Super Troopers 3 as the Broken Lizard crew prepares to visit the studio, giving everyone an excuse to geek out over one of the greatest comedy franchises ever made. Before they arrive, the crew jumps into Crap on Celebrities, where nostalgia absolutely takes over.Could MySpace actually deserve more respect than it gets? Turns out the platform helped launch artists like Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Adele, and even Dane Cook before social media became the attention economy we know today. That naturally leads into everyone's embarrassing MySpace memories, Top 8 drama, party bulletins, and the strange realization that we all willingly learned HTML just to put terrible music on our profiles.Speaking of things nobody expected to return...CDs are suddenly making a comeback. Yes... actual compact discs. The crew debates whether anyone even owns a CD player anymore, whether physical media still matters, and whether younger generations are rediscovering something older fans never completely gave up on. It's part nostalgia, part technology debate, and part excuse for Moon to become the resident audio nerd.Then things somehow become even stranger.William Shatner is officially performing heavy metal songs at Riot Fest... at ninety-five years old.The conversation somehow makes perfect sense.Elsewhere in celebrity news:• The Batman Part II gets delayed again.• A new Rocky movie about Sylvester Stallone fighting to play himself looks surprisingly incredible.• Paris Jackson earns praise for covering Blind Melon's "No Rain."• Alec Baldwin accidentally makes another tribute about... Alec Baldwin.• The Grateful Dead release a massive 20-CD collection because apparently CDs aren't dead after all.• Hole returns to social media, prompting an entire debate over whether younger music fans even know who Courtney Love's band was.Along the way, the crew shares ridiculous observations, roasts each other relentlessly, argues over music, remembers forgotten internet history, and proves once again why no topic stays on the rails for very long.That's exactly why this daily comedy show continues to be the easiest way to stay caught up on celebrity news, weird stories, pop culture, and conversations that somehow go from MySpace coding to William Shatner screaming heavy metal in less than ten minutes.If you enjoy sarcastic humor, entertainment news, nostalgic pop culture rabbit holes, and a group of friends who rarely let facts get in the way of a good joke, this episode has everything you need from your favorite daily comedy show.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Our summer tradition at Here’s the Thing continues, as staff members choose their favorite conversations from the archives for our Summer Staff Pick series. This week, we revisit Alec’s conversation with Richard Kind. Single-handedly redefining the term “character actor,” the accomplished Richard Kind is surely one of the hardest working people in show business. His resume is unfathomably wide and deep, with over 270 film and television credits, spanning roles that exploit his killer comedic timing, like sitcoms “Spin City” and “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” and those that exercise his dramatic chops, like HBO’s “Luck” and the CBS procedural “East New York.” He’s an actor just as likely to appear in an Oscar-winning feature film as an animated one, to scene-steal a sketch comedy series as to star in an indie short. Kind is also a Tony-nominated stage actor, having appeared on Broadway in “The Producers,” “Funny Girl” and “The Big Knife,” among many others. Richard Kind speaks with host Alec Baldwin about the type of comedians that raised him, how he found his way to the profession after almost attending law school – and why he believes he is the “Costco of acting.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Zo gets a call from a man who's voice was familiar. The man had the demeanor of an old friend who was excited to talk to him. He wanted to catch up, sit down and talk about old times. They agree to meet at the bar and, while the man seemed friendly enough, Zo realized that the stranger isn't actually someone he knew or anyone he remembered meeting. Not wanting to be rude Zo carries on with the meeting with this friendly stranger, who's name was Ricky Roma, over drinks about morality, the future, and if there was something that anyone wanted then they should just take it. They should throw caution to the wind. They should give in to their base impulses because you only live once. You can't miss out on the good things in life because of morality or an abundance of caution because that's an easy way to miss out and get left behind. There is no morality. Ricky Roma then pulls out a brochure extolling the bountiful virtues of the Glengarry Highlands in Florida . . . it is a very tempting offer.     Episode Chapters 00:07:21 Opening Credits for Glengarry Glen Ross starring Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, Alec Baldwin, Alin Arkin, Ed Harris< Kevin Spacey and Jonathan Price 00:15:28 Favorite Parts of the 1992 film Glengarry Glen Ross  01:14:41 Trivia from the office drama - Glengarry Glen Ross  01:21:23 Critics' Thoughts on James Foley's Glengarry Glen Ross  Please leave a comment, suggestion or question on our social media: Back Look Cinema: The Podcast Links:Website: www.backlookcinema.comEmail: friends@backlookcinema.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@backlookcinemaTwitter: https://twitter.com/backlookcinemaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/BackLookCinemaInstagram: https://instagram.com/backlookcinemaThreads: https://www.threads.net/@backlookcinemaTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@backlookcinemaTwitch https://www.twitch.tv/backlookcinemaBlue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/backlookcinema.bsky.socialMastodon: https://mstdn.party/@backlookcinemaBack Look Cinema Merch at Teespring.comBack Look Cinema Merch at Teepublic.com Again, thanks for listening.

Tom's out. Christina P is holding down the Mommy Dome with Ryan Long, Canadian sketch comedian, content creator, and a man who recently received a cease and desist from a testosterone clinic over a joke photo. Ryan opens talking acting and shares one of his sketch videos, Doyle the OnlyFans pimp who thought he'd be living the life and spends 90% of his day rating strangers' dicks. They also open the show with Alec Baldwin fully losing his mind at over a missing bag in a video that feels like a parody. From there: Ontario passed a law allowing all women to go topless in public, the tits you actually see at the nude beach are not the ones you pictured, and Austin has a shirtless jogging epidemic with zero enforcement of chest hair standards. Plus, a cool gal accepting boyfriend applications on TikTok and Christina and Ryan do their civic duty to find her a man. They also review Cowboys for Angels, a straight male gigolo site that Ryan correctly points out uses completely gender-neutral language. Then a Tulum trip story ends with Christina inserting off-brand suppositories into her hotel mini fridge so they'd stop melting before she could use them, and the cleaning staff tidied the wrappers and put them in a glass jar. She would like you to know they were unused. Finally, Christina's TikTok Curations: a weather reporter who unexpectedly quotes Edgar Allan Poe, a body percussionist who is simply not ready, a man posting his phone number who specifically says not to ask for money, a woman who attempts parkour and lands on her face then immediately says "I'm fine," and a leg hair identity video.

In this episode, Jimmy and his guest Garland Nixon discuss Bill Gates' closed-door congressional testimony regarding his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, including Gates' questionable explanation that he associated with Epstein primarily to connect with wealthy donors for global health initiatives. They argue that Gates' rationale is unconvincing given his own wealth and influence, while also questioning the broader handling of the Epstein investigation by government officials and institutions.  The conversation expands into speculation about Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, allegations of cover-ups, and criticism of both political parties for failing to fully investigate the case. Throughout the discussion, the hosts express skepticism toward official narratives surrounding Epstein, Gates, and related investigations. Plus a segment on new accusations of Israeli spying on the Trump administration.    Also featuring Max Blumenthal, Mike MacRae and Stef Zamorano! And a phone call from Alec Baldwin!

Matt and Jordan review Prime Video’s Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan: Ghost War, a straight-to-streaming title they are branding "movie Toferky." For Rec Seg, the duo finds comfort in the Paramount Plus vaults, with Jordan revisiting the Tom Clancy masterpiece that started it all, and Matt countering with a series sequel featuring Harrison Ford's bookworm Boy Scout desk-jockey. Then, a personalized recommendation request from listener Patrick sparks a highly volatile intra-pod war. While Jordan goes with a ‘70s screwball classic, Matt goes full "Muppet Radical" with his recommendation for a late-period Muppet movie over the Jim Henson-produced originals. Finally, Producer Sam hosts a trivia game called The Sum of All Jack Ryans, which ignites a flurry of deep pulls, culminating with a classic Jordan anecdote featuring Star Trek's Gates McFadden desperately trying to escape a cruise ship at the outbreak of the pandemic.
