Tread Perilously's summer Patreon request month continues with the Matlock episode known as "The Network." When television producer Paul J. Bartel is accused of murdering the head of a Big Three TV network, Matlock agrees to represent him. Flying to Los Angeles, the Georgia lawyer quickly learns about the lingo, the motives, and the media attention to be found in Tinsel Town. But are Paul Bartel's protestations of innocence valid? Will Hollywood Today follow Matlock's every move? And will the older barrister inadvertently create the "zoom and enhance" phenomenon? Also, is Alf really in this episode, too? Erik and Justin embrace getting older as they finally sit down for an hour of Matlock. Justin outlines the career of the real Paul Bartel. Special cameos lead to plenty of weeds. Betty White is once again celebrated. The legend of The Hogan Family is told. Geography Corner centers on Lawry's Prime Rib. Another car chase scene finds Erik lamenting the loss of the art. The pair eventually remember to talk about Matlock star Andy Griffith. Erik detects some other inside-baseball aspects to the episode's script, including the secret basis for the murder victim. A famous Hollywood alibi becomes important to the proceedings and Larry David enters the story for the strangest reason.

In which we discuss dog's anal glands, Jeremy's son making a four course dinner, the amount of cats near Eric, blimps, and outline of a movie Jeremy wrote based on podcast discussion from very early on, open butt gowns and how we'd deal with a boner during a medical exam, the actor who played the father on ALF, and more.

Megjelent a szerdai Checklist. Izgalmas vita bontakozik ki a magyar agráriumban - részben a Portfolio csoport agrárgazdasági hírportálján, az Agrárszektoron - arról, hogy milyen új növényeket kellene telepíteni például az Alföldre azért, hogy elviseljék az egyre aszályosabb nyarakat. És ha elkezdenek a gazdák új növényeket termeszteni, azokra mennyire áll készen a feldolgozóipar, az élelmiszeripar? Adásunk első felében erről kérdezem, Veres Virág Cintiát, az Agrárszektor újságíróját. 

 A folytatásban Kiss Gergelyt, a vállalati digitalizációval, mesterséges intelligenciával foglalkozó Signifer Csoport igazgatósági tagját kérdezzük arról, hogy pontosan milyen adatot gyűjt rólunk az AI, és mire használja ezt. A kérdés azért is érdekes, mert Magyarországon a lakosság harmada már használ nagy nyelvi AI modelleket.

Topor Erika kertészmérnök, tájépítész és szakíróval az augusztusi KertAkadémiáról, a fenntartható kertekről és készülő könyvéről beszélgetünk. A tujasorral, angolpázsittal, térkővel és állandó öntözéssel működtetett kertek ideje lejáróban van. A hosszú, csapadékmentes időszakok és a forró szelek már a kerttulajdonosokat is változtatásra kényszerítik. Erika olyan növényválasztást, talajregenerálást, mulcsozást és vadvirágos megoldásokat mutat majd be, amelyekkel a kert a nyári hőségben is élhető és zöld maradhat. A Tabdiban rendezett egész napos program helyszíne az Alföld egyik legsúlyosabb aszályzónája. A szakmai előadások után Erika saját kertje is megnyílik a látogatók előtt, ahol gyapjúpellet, gyapjúmulcs, vadvirágágyások és szárazságtűrő növények működését lehet közelről megnézni. Az előadók a szünetekben személyesen is kérdezhetők, a tavalyi kertlátogatás pedig majdnem éjfélig tartó beszélgetéssé alakult. Készül egy közel négyszáz oldalas könyv is a fenntartható kertészkedésről. Erika arról is mesél majd, miért utasítja vissza a műfüves, túlzottan térkövezett vagy angolpázsitra épülő terveket, és hogyan lett egykor kinevetett ötleteiből mára széles körben követett kertészeti irány.

Back in the day, when your favorite goofy TV show was cancelled, it was not necessarily the end. Years (or even decades) later, it just might be resurrected in the odd format of the made-for-TV reunion movie. Thus we returned to Mayberry to catch up with Andy and Opie, we reconnected with Gomez and Morticia in the disco era, we attended the double wedding of Jan and Marcia... and we even learned the final fate of ALF. And because this is such a rich complex subject, we have a special guest to help sort it all out: Dragon Con American Sci-Fi Classics Track co-director Joe Crowe! And we're just getting started! Part 2 is next week. But join us this week, as we also try to answer the eternal question of which one was Cagney and which one was Lacey. The Flopcast website! The ESO Network!

Breaking news: the podcast has received news on the untimely passing of one Gordon Shumway, known around the world as ALF.  Join us as we remember his life in comedy  also lots of SDCC toy news, batman and spiderman discussion and everything else you know and love about the show.

This week we look at two attempts to bring that E.T. magic to the small screen.  The first was a pilot that didn't get picked up to series but aired as a Disney movie-of-the-week. FUZZBUCKET (1986) is the story of boy and his imaginary friend who is actually real... and is absolutely terrifying! The second, also from 1986 and certainly more well-known, took the E.T. concept and reimagined it as an '80s family sitcom. His real name is Gordon Shumway, but you probably remember him as ALF. 

It's Alfie's birthday! And we roll out some classic Alf; hear some of the action from Triple M's Work Trip to Straddie; get the inside info from Captains Harris Andrews and Tom Gilbert!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Alf Dobbert-Baums: The Too-Technical PO and the One Who Was Willing to Experiment In this episode, we refer to Shift: From Product to People and the value of keeping the PO–developer conversation at the goal level. The Great Product Owner: The PO Who Was Willing to Drop the Spec and Trust the Developers Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   "Let's ditch the technical part, and let's see what happens." - Alf Dobbert-Baums   The Great PO, in Alf's experience, is willing to experiment with letting go. She stopped writing detailed technical specifications and started writing plain user stories. Then — and this is the harder move — she stopped throwing them over the fence and walked into the developers' space to have the conversation. Alf had coached her toward it, and he watched the trust compound. Because she trusted the developers on the how, she had less work to do (the developers were closer to the system anyway) and the developers had room to make real decisions. The conversation stayed where it belonged: on the goal. Alf names the pattern this great PO embodied — open to experiments, willing to say "let's see what happens," and quietly resisting the seductive pull of getting technical because it feels safer. The Scrum Master's job is partly to make that letting-go feel safe enough to try.   Self-reflection Question: Where is your PO still writing the "how" — and what would it take for them to trust the developers enough to write only the "why" and the "what"? The Bad Product Owner: The PO Who Thinks They Know More Than the Developers Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   "He said: 'developers can retrieve the information from the archive database.' The developer said: 'the information is not in the archive database.'" - Alf Dobbert-Baums   The anti-pattern is the PO who is too technical — the one who writes specs full of implementation detail and treats the developers as executors. Alf calls him John. John wrote a user story that told the developers exactly where to fetch the data from: the archive database. Then he tried to hand the story to Alf to present, the way a memo gets handed across a desk. Alf refused. He insisted John present it to the developers himself. John did. The first developer to speak said the information wasn't in the archive database. Alf hopes that moment humbled John a little. The point isn't whether John was right about the database — the point is the dynamic. When the PO writes the technical answer into the story, the developers stop being collaborators and become receivers. The translation work that creates real value — between user goal and technical option — never happens. The PO ends up with more work, less ownership from the team, and worse outcomes.   In this segment, we refer to Shift: From Product to People and the idea that great POs facilitate the conversation between user goal and team, rather than dictating it.   Self-reflection Question: When was the last time your PO wrote a technical detail into a story and the developers had to walk it back — and what would change if the PO trusted them to design the "how"?   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

Alf Dobbert-Baums: Success Is When the Team Gets Closer to the User Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   "Getting closer to the user — it's always very good to get the feedback from the user." - Alf Dobbert-Baums   For Alf, success as a Scrum Master is measurable in proximity: how close did you get the team to the actual user? He tells a small story that makes the point bigger than it sounds. In a sprint review, a user mentioned an annoying detail — clicking an item in a long list opened a popup, and when you closed the popup, the focus jumped back to the top of the list. Four hours later, the team had fixed it. A small JavaScript change saved a whole customer-center team from scrolling back to find their place dozens of times a day. The shift Alf coaches is treating the review as a working meeting, not a demo. Users don't clap and leave — they discover. They surface the thing the PO doesn't see, because the PO has perspective and the user has the actual workflow (often with three other apps open at the same time). Alf credits a usability test he once ran for opening his eyes: "Why are you clicking there? Nope, she wouldn't click on there." When the developer sees a real person use the software, the product changes. The guessing stops.   In this segment, we refer to Shift: From Product to People by Michael Dougherty and Pete Oliver-Kruger and their Usability Theater technique — getting users to use the product while the team watches, the way you'd watch a play.   Self-reflection Question: When did your team last watch a real user use the product — and if it's been a while, what's stopping you from inviting one to your next review? Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: The Classic Four — Prime Directive + Good / Learned / Change / Puzzles Alf's favorite retro is one of the very first. Open with the Prime Directive, then walk the team through four questions: what was good, what did we learn, what should we change, and what still puzzles us. Alf likes it because it celebrates successes, shares knowledge, and — through the "puzzles" question — gives space for the unresolved things people carry in their heads. But he wants to stress one thing most teams skip: revisit the agreed improvements in the next retro. Did you do them? Are they still relevant? Did the world change? Even improvements that didn't work give you information — about who to involve next time, what was missing, what was too much. Without revisiting, every retro starts from scratch.   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

Alf Dobbert-Baums: When Management Writes a Book — AI, Strict Process, and the Missing Court System Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   "They don't really know — do I need to follow these rules, or are they at my goodwill?" - Alf Dobbert-Baums   The developers and AI are on good terms. Then management decided to extend AI into product management — and the way to do that, of course, was stricter process. Same JIRA boards. Same columns. Same quality gates. Across every product. Management wrote a book and called it "how we develop." Then, in the next breath, said: "but it's not meant to be that strict — you have flexibility." Two messages, opposite directions. The result, Alf describes, is confusion and psychological-safety problems. The teams don't know whether they're playing by the rules or breaking them. They experiment with how far they can bend the book. They fall back on "common sense" and quietly skip what makes no sense. They've collected feedback — structured, organized — but feel they aren't heard. In the conversation, Vasco's framing of the legal system (every set of rules needs a court system to interpret them) led Alf to a real experiment: take the negative rules and reframe them as positive goals. Not "fewer meetings" — "meaningful meetings." Then match feedback to the goal, not the rule. It's an idea Alf came up with mid-conversation, and it's the kind of small frame-shift that can crack open a stuck dialogue with management.   Self-reflection Question: Where in your organization is management asking people to follow rules they haven't defined the goal for — and what would change if you reframed those rules as goals?   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

Alf Dobbert-Baums: The Team That Decided Sprint Goals Were Optional Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   "Everything was a golden route. It was kind of like a little feature factory." - Alf Dobbert-Baums   Alf coached three teams. None of them cared about THE sprint goal. Most sprints had five or six "goals" — which is to say, none. The Product Owner was a proxy PO, no authority to say no, so anything that landed in the inbox got pulled into the sprint. The team had several applications to support on top of feature work. Missing a sprint goal had no consequences, so the question stopped being asked. When Alf pushed for a single, focused goal — concrete or abstract, didn't matter — the team would shrug and add three more stories to the cluster. Asked which item mattered most, they answered: "all of them." Alf names the dynamic precisely: short-term personal urgency replaced the team goal, and "all of them" became the death of focus. The cost wasn't just the missed goals — it was the missed collaboration. With a sprint goal, the team works together on one thing. Without one, they cooperate on parallel tracks and call it a sprint. There's a difference. Sprint goals create focus, predictability, and the rare feeling of finishing something together.   In this segment, we talk about the difference between cooperation and collaboration and why sprint goals are the lever that turns one into the other.   Self-reflection Question: If you asked your team this sprint "what's the most important thing we'll finish?" — and they answered "all of them" — what would you do next? Featured Book of the Week: Humble Consulting by Edgar Schein and Don't Just Do Something, Stand There by Marvin R. Weisbord Alf gives two recommendations. The first is Humble Consulting by Edgar Schein — "It teaches you that you don't know anything, and even if you ask, you still will not fully understand what the other person is in… But the good thing is that when you ask questions, it might help the other person to get on a different track." The second is Don't Just Do Something, Stand There by Marvin R. Weisbord. Alf tells a story to explain why it matters: he prepared a polished 90-minute workshop. Within 5 minutes of starting, the team's real topic surfaced — and it had nothing to do with his agenda. His head screamed "no, my workshop!" but the book gave him permission to ditch the plan, name what he was seeing, and let the team choose. They chose the new topic. He moderated. It became one of the most important sessions he ever ran. The lesson: don't just do something — stand there, and let what's really happening become visible.   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

Alf Dobbert-Baums: The Two-Country Scrum Team and the Rapport That Never Showed Up Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   "It did not quite go as planned. I was really humbled." - Alf Dobbert-Baums   Alf was new in the company. His boss walked over with a setup that already sounded like a warning: two development teams in two countries, two locations in Germany, a "difficult" Product Owner — and a quick "do you want to take it?" Alf said sure. Everything happened on video chat. Every meeting, every conversation, every attempt to read the room — through a window that closed the moment the call ended. The rapport never built. The PO stayed difficult. Alf eventually got pulled from the team. Looking back, he saw what the video chat had hidden: the crossed arms, the eyes drifting to email, the small in-between moments that turn coworkers into colleagues. The fix wasn't a tool — it was a flight. Visit the other location. Run a workshop with a real goal ("how do we want to work together?", "what's hard about our setup?"). Build a positive anchor before anything goes wrong, not after. And when you do go, don't lead with the failures — lead with what could be possible together.   In this episode, we refer to the practice of building team working agreements as a way to create rapport without putting people on the defensive.   Self-reflection Question: When was the last time you saw the people you work with face-to-face — and what conversations are you still postponing because they only happen well in person?   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

Die DS9-Folge, die Trek am Dienstag in dieser Woche besprach, A Time to Stand, startet mit einer Widmung auf schwarzem Bildschirm: In memory of Brandon Tartikoff. Ein Name, der hierzulande nicht vielen ein Begriff ist. Doch was ist mit klangvollen Titeln wie The Golden Girls, Miami Vice, The Cosby Show, Seinfeld, Knight Rider, The A-Team und ALF? Die kennen fast alle aus der Generation Rückspultaste – und viele lieben diese Serien. (Okay, Cosby eher weniger.) In Auftrag gab all diese Serienklassiker – ihr werdet es erraten haben – besagter Brandon Tartikoff, denn er war in den 1980ern Unterhaltungschef beim Sender NBC. Damals der jüngste Executive seiner Art, dessen Hits ein Network vom Schlußlicht in einen Spitzenreiter verwandelten und der selbst in den USA zu einem Medien-Superstar avancierte. 1997 starb Tartikoff im Alter von gerade einmal 48 Jahren. Ein Mann, der das Fernsehen liebte und es wie kein anderer formte. Die Rückspultaste wirft ein Blick auf Tartikoffs Leben und sein überreiches Schaffen, voller TV-Philosophie und Anekdoten.

Liz Sheridan, the actress best known for her memorable roles as Jerry Seinfeld's mother on Seinfeld and the lovable neighbor Mrs. Ochmonek on ALF. But long before she became a familiar face on television, Sheridan was a talented dancer and performer pursuing her dreams on the stages of New York City. We'll trace her journey from her early years growing up in New York, through her career in theater and entertainment, and the challenges she faced as a woman building a career in show business. We'll also discuss her fascinating romance with James Dean years before he became a Hollywood icon—a relationship she later chronicled in her memoir. From Broadway productions and television guest appearances to her late-career success in two of the most beloved sitcoms of all time, Liz Sheridan's story is one of perseverance, reinvention, and finding success on her own timeline.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Rekindling Kinship: A Sibling Reunion on the Alföld Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2026-06-24-07-38-19-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A nap tüze forrón sütött az Alföldön.En: The sun blazed hot over the Alföld.Hu: A sík táj csak messzire nyújtózott, ami egyfajta nyugalmat adott a helynek.En: The flat landscape stretched far, giving a sense of serenity to the place.Hu: Virágok tarkították a mezőt, és néha egy-egy fa adta meg az árnyékot.En: Flowers dotted the field, and occasionally a tree provided shade.Hu: Ádám úgy érezte, hogy itt, ezen a békés helyen talán újra összeforrhatnak a testvéri kötelékek.En: Ádám felt that here, in this peaceful place, perhaps the bonds of brotherhood could be mended anew.Hu: Réka és Zoltán már megérkeztek, amikor Ádám leparkolta az autóját.En: Réka and Zoltán had already arrived when Ádám parked his car.Hu: Szívében izgatottság és félelem keveredett.En: Excitement and fear mixed within his heart.Hu: Réka egy pokrócot terített a fűbe, és már kipakolta a piknik kosarat: szendvicseket, gyümölcsöket, és persze a tradicionális magyar túrós táskát.En: Réka spread a blanket on the grass and had already unpacked the picnic basket: sandwiches, fruits, and of course, the traditional Hungarian cottage cheese pastry.Hu: – Sziasztok – mondta Ádám félénken, majd leült a pokrócra.En: "Sziasztok," Ádám said shyly, then sat down on the blanket.Hu: Mindannyian mosolyogtak, de a feszültség érezhető volt.En: They all smiled, but the tension was palpable.Hu: Ahogy elkezdtek enni, a beszélgetés eleinte felületes volt.En: As they began to eat, the conversation was initially superficial.Hu: A munkáról és az időjárásról való társalgás azonban nem tudta elrejteni a múltban történt félreértéseket.En: Discussions about work and the weather could not hide the misunderstandings of the past.Hu: Ez régóta kísértette Ádámot, és elhatározta, hogy szembenéz mindennel.En: These had haunted Ádám for a long time, and he was determined to face everything.Hu: Hirtelen csönd lett, és Ádám érezte, hogy most jött el az idő.En: Suddenly, there was silence, and Ádám felt the time had come.Hu: Mély levegőt vett, majd megszólalt:En: He took a deep breath and spoke up:Hu: – Szeretném, ha beszélnénk arról, ami történt... régen.En: "I'd like us to talk about what happened... long ago."Hu: Réka és Zoltán egymásra néztek, majd Zoltán bólintott.En: Réka and Zoltán looked at each other, then Zoltán nodded.Hu: – Igen – mondta –, ideje tisztázni.En: "Yes," he said, "it's time to clear things up."Hu: Az érzések és a régi sérelmek napvilágra kerültek, ahogy mindegyikük elmondta a saját nézőpontját.En: Feelings and old grievances came to light as each of them shared their own perspective.Hu: Nehéz volt, de Ádám megérezte a lehetőséget, hogy végre véget vessenek a feszült helyzetnek.En: It was difficult, but Ádám sensed the opportunity to finally resolve the tense situation.Hu: Néhány könnycsepp is megjelent, de végül a szívük könnyebb lett.En: A few tears appeared, but in the end, their hearts were lighter.Hu: Ádám érezte, hogy a beszélgetés megváltoztatott mindent.En: Ádám felt that the conversation had changed everything.Hu: A múlt fogsága helyett a jelen melegsége vette át az uralmat.En: Instead of being trapped by the past, the warmth of the present took over.Hu: A nap lassan a horizont alá siklott.En: The sun slowly slipped below the horizon.Hu: A szél gyengéden játszott a fűszálakkal, mintha csak a testvérek új egymásra találását ünnepelné.En: The wind gently played with the blades of grass, as if celebrating the siblings' newfound connection.Hu: Ádám most már tudta, hogy képes változást hozni.En: Ádám now knew that he was capable of bringing about change.Hu: A bizonytalanság helyét a bizalom váltotta fel.En: Uncertainty was replaced by trust.Hu: Készen állt egy új kezdetre, ahol a család újra összetart, és ahol a régi sebek helyét a megértés és szeretet veszi át.En: He was ready for a new beginning, where family held together once more and where old wounds were replaced by understanding and love.Hu: A testvérek mosolya most már őszinte volt, és az este végére már egyértelmű volt számukra: együtt minden jobb.En: The siblings' smiles were now genuine, and by the end of the evening, it was clear to them: together, everything is better.

Dean Karayanis, former Rush Limbaugh staffer and New York Sun columnist, steps in for Monday's edition of the Derek Hunter Podcast to dissect a wild week in political media, cutting through the mainstream talking points to examine what the political establishment is trying to hide. In this episode, Dean breaks down: Rahm Emanuel & The Democratic Culture War: A look at Emanuel's viral clip warning Democrats that focusing on advocacy over classroom excellence has driven reading and math scores to a 30-year low. Dean analyzes the shifting politics around Title IX and why both parties are switching scripts. The Socialization of the Left: With polling data showing two-thirds of Democrats view socialism favorably over capitalism, Dean tackles Bernie Sanders' radical agenda, Doug Schoen's warnings about far-left takeovers, and how the media scrubs the brand with the word "democratic." Oregon's Drug Policy Pivot: Dissecting the celebrated 40% drop in Oregon overdose deaths under Governor Kotek, revealing how the victory lap hides a quiet backtrack from disastrous full decriminalization. Media Absurdity in Oakland: Highlighting a local news report framing a drop in car break-ins as a "mixed outcome" because auto glass repair shops are losing money. The Trump-Iran MOU: Analyzing the unfolding strategy behind Donald Trump's proposed Iran agreement. Dean breaks down the DC reactions from J.D. Vance, Ted Cruz, and Bernie Moreno, contrasting Washington's lens with Trump's real estate-style negotiation tactics. An AI Parody: Dean shares a custom AI bit of Donald Trump reacting to the passing of ALF actress Anne Schedeen, who played the mother on the sitcom. Hypocrisy on Juneteenth: New York's leftist mayor, Zohran Mamdani, criticizes America by marking Juneteenth. Because his goal is to trash America's present by using the past, he chooses not to mention that it's the day Republicans forced Democrats to free their slaves at the point of the gun — and the fact that his native Uganda, where the mayor owns a 2-acre plantation house — is home to 190,00 slaves that the rich, privileged Mamdani says not a word about ever.

On this episode, the guys talk ALF, Spider Noir, Send Help, Ocarina of Time, and much more. Enjoy.

Before binge-watching and streaming took over, one wisecracking alien from the planet Melmac became a television sensation.

We'll revisit the laughs, the characters, and the memories that made ALF a pop-culture icon.

When “Jaws” hit theatres in 1975, no one—neither the studio executives involved nor the film's twenty-six-year-old director, Steven Spielberg—was betting on its success. But it dominated at the box office and promptly revolutionized the way movies were promoted, distributed, and merchandised. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz trace how Spielberg inaugurated a new phenomenon in Hollywood: the blockbuster. He would tap his own playbook again and again with such hits as “Close Encounters of the Third Kind,” “E.T.,” and “Jurassic Park,” all of which drew impressive audiences and profits. The hosts talk through his filmography, culminating in his new release, “Disclosure Day,” which both replicates and iterates on themes and techniques found in his earlier work. Though other directors may share his capacity for spectacle and action-packed set pieces, much of his appeal lies in his profound earnestness. “What Spielberg is so good at is bringing the human to the fore in these extreme, sci-fi circumstances,” Schwartz says. “And that's what makes a great blockbuster.”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Jaws” (1975)“Disclosure Day” (2026)“Minority Report” (2002)“Oscar Wars,” by Michael Schulman“What Went Wrong” 's episode about “Jaws”“Close Encounters of the Third Kind” (1977)“Jurassic Park” (1993)“E.T.” (1982)“Alf” (1986-90)“Schindler's List” (1993)“One Battle After Another” (2025)“American Journal,” by Robert Hayden“Heart of the Beast” (2026)“Sinners” (2025)“Nope” (2022)“Barbie” (2023)“Obsession” (2026)“Backrooms” (2026)New episodes drop every Thursday.

The guys open with Ed basking in the glory of a long-awaited New York Knicks championship after attending multiple historic playoff comeback victories. Brian recaps a trip to Pittsburgh, including a devastating near-miss on a foul ball that may haunt him forever. The show then pauses for an emotional tribute to beloved longtime listener and frequent caller David Bray, whose passing leaves a lasting impact on the Baller Lifestyle community. From there, it's a full RIP roundup featuring entertainers, athletes, actors, coaches, and public figures before diving into sports stories involving Phil Mickelson, bizarre baseball controversies, social media feuds between Sesame Street characters, and much more. The episode closes with Nine Sports, where the conversation drifts into celebrity weddings, microwaved fish, Ted Danson's infamous blackface controversy, and a report claiming Randy "Macho Man" Savage's off-screen activities were every bit as intense as his wrestling persona.

What books, shows or video games have you never finished? What story never finished for you?This week, the Nerd of Godcast explores unfinished TV shows, canceled movies, abandoned video games, incomplete book series, and the fandoms that still leave us wanting more. From A Song of Ice and Fire and The Spider-Verse to ALF and Half Life, we discuss the stories that never got proper endings and why unresolved stories stick with us.Plus, we talk about disappointment, closure, perseverance, and what the Bible has to say about trusting God when life doesn't always provide clear answers.

Le rêve américain existait déjà avant l'Amérique ! Impossible ? Et pourtant dès le Moyen Âge, donc bien avant la colonisation atlantique, il y a déjà une lointaine cité, garnie de hautes tours, où tout devient possible ! C'est là que Sinbad le Marin, un héritier ruiné, devient richissime. Quant au vizir Iznogoud, il ne rêve que d'une chose : devenir calife à la place du calife. Pas de chance pour lui, c'est Aladdin, un mendiant orphelin, qui décroche le poste en épousant la princesse Jasmine d'Agrabah. Parce que oui, Agrabah c'est juste la version “Disney” de cette même ville : Bagdad ! La capitale de l'ambition et de l'ascension sociale, où tout devient possible ! Et c'est pas étonnant, vu que c'est son histoire incroyable mais bien réelle que nous allons découvrir !Bonne écoute !

In this special episode of Forgotten TV, journey back to the fall of 1986, when NBC urged America to “Come Home,” ABC proclaimed, “We Belong Together,” and CBS asked viewers to “Share the Spirit.” Through rare promos, network image campaigns, and the debut of new shows including ALF, L.A. Law, Head of the Class, Designing Women, My Sister Sam (and several others you probably don't remember), explore a fascinating moment when all three major networks seemed to be selling something larger than television itself: family, togetherness, reassurance, and emotional connection...with NBC and CBS occasionally resembling a boisterous Sunday morning revival meeting. We also explore the likely reason that: NBC invited viewers to "Come Home." ABC insisted "We Belong Together." CBS urged audiences to "Share the Spirit."

Two retired luminaries in geriatrics join us today to share their personal experiences. First, John Burton, a geriatrician and Director of the Division of Geriatric Medicine at Johns Hopkins for some 35 years, shares his journey moving into a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) during Covid.  You can read about John's early experiences in his JAGS commentary titled, "Waiting for the Other Shoe to Drop."  The tone is bleak.  John's experience since Covid, as you'll hear, is very positive.  Many of the concerns he raised about isolation have been addressed. Second, we hear from Bill Applegate, Geriatrician, retired faculty at Wake Forest, and former Editor in Chief of JAGS (Bill recruited Eric and me to join JAGS as editors about 10 years ago). Bill had a distinctly negative experience in two assisted living facilities (ALFs), which you can read about in his JAGS essay, titled, "My Journey Through Assisted Living Facilities." Bill is seriously concerned about the lack of national oversight, poor staffing, and financial motivations behind for-profit and private-equity owned ALFs. Finally, we hear from Melissa Aldridge, a former banker turned health services researcher, about the rise of private equity purchases of Assisted Living Facilities nationally.  This is a follow up to our prior podcast on private equity gobbling up hospices with Melissa, Lauren Hunt, and Krista Harrison. Melissa is concerned that private equity has a very short time frame to turn acquisitions profitable, and cutting staff is often their first move.  Further, private equity is financing these acquisitions with debt that is increasingly hard to trace and regulate. We talk about how private equity moving from purchasing fast food chains, toy stores, and hotels into CCRC, ALF, nursing home, and hospice ownership is a major concern.  This is not the same as Blackstone buying the Hilton and turning a profit.  These institutions provide healthcare, daily care needs, and community for a huge swath of older adults.  These concerns should trigger a higher level of scrutiny, oversight, and regulation than other industries. What can you do about this, dear listeners?  Listen to the end to find out! Thanks to Jerry Gurwitz for suggesting this podcast.  We appreciate your suggestions. Keep 'em coming. -Alex Smith   

Today on The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast the guys are supposed to be discussing Party at Mr. Bernard's but they never get to it. It's a Sunday recording and Andy is late so they sort of just riff. They talk about ALF some more, with some thoughts from Kristen Wiig, and dive into the fan made dictionary for the pod. Plus, Seth FINALLY tells us what he thinks about the Upfronts! Akiva drops some spoilers for Robin Hood; Prince of Theives and Andy does eventually show up despite being very ill because he really does care about the podcast (he doesn't). Anyway, we didn't know what to call this episode. Hope it's good!

On this episode of The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast… ANDY IS BACK. And we're all on the pod together again. So as you can imagine we had a lot to catch up on and the podcast does technically start 12 minutes in. So settle in, Quaids. We catch Andy up on everything he missed then get into the digital short “What Was That?” With Arcade Fire from Season 36, Episode 6 that aired on November 13th, 2010. We chat about how we actually felt about it before it aired and whether it was ever meant to live on the album. There's also some classic pod business: illness updates, life updates, listener messages, and Seth receiving a truly elite gift (Martinelli's, the official beverage of the Quaid Army). We also reveal the poll results for what the British version of “Quaids” is, congratulate Andy on wrapping his latest film, float the idea of an ALF rewatch pod??

Today we celebrated Moon's Birthday!We kick things off with jazz hands (because obviously that's how serious radio begins), before diving into the slow-motion meltdown that is Rizz being left home alone for a week. Talking to dogs, narrating his own life, and possibly unraveling mentally? Yeah, we're keeping an eye on that.Then Lern casually drops that she went to a roller rink… alone… in a giant coat… just to hang out. Which opens the floodgates for one of the most relatable discussions ever: the “king of the roller rink” — that one guy who peaked gliding backwards under neon lights and never emotionally recovered. Naturally, this leads to a completely serious business pitch to buy and reinvent a roller rink, which financial advisors everywhere would absolutely hate.From there, things take a turn into “why is this even legal?” territory as we break down cousin marriage laws across the U.S. — including the deeply unsettling realization that some states are way more relaxed about it than you'd hope. And because we're nothing if not educational, we somehow connect that to King Tut, inbreeding, and what ancient people might think of our modern faces. (Spoiler: they'd probably hate us.)Then comes the story that flips the whole episode: a woman who wrote a children's book about coping with grief… after allegedly causing her husband's death. It's part true crime, part “are we seriously talking about this right now,” and fully the kind of content you only get from a funny podcast that thrives in the gray area between hilarious and horrifying.We wrap things up with a viral Frontier Airlines controversy that proves once again: the internet reacts first, facts come later. Add in some airport anxiety, retail apocalypse talk, and why you can't flirt anywhere anymore, and you've got a perfectly chaotic ride.If you drive an electric vehicle, can you park in a charging spot without actually charging… or does that instantly make you public enemy number one? The gang breaks it down like only a funny podcast can—half logic, half roasting, zero resolution.Then things take a turn into the existential (as they always do). If an alien landed on Earth and asked, “What should I watch?”—what do you show them? The answers range from wholesome (Mr. Rogers) to wildly questionable (Always Sunny, ALF, and yes… COPS). It becomes less about TV and more about what we're accidentally admitting about humanity. Spoiler: it's not great.From there, we dive into the unexpected comeback of vinyl records hitting BILLION-dollar sales (thanks, Taylor Swift, we guess), and whether physical media is actually back or just a hipster fever dream. There's also a discussion about why supporting artists now basically means buying anything that isn't music.And of course, it wouldn't be a funny podcast without “Crap on Celebrities,” where we cover everything from Lollapalooza headlines to Oscars ratings drama, Bob Barker's bizarre backstage rules, and Shia LaBeouf doing whatever Shia LaBeouf does… this time in Rome, without pants.We wrap things up with some iconic (and questionable) female covers of classic songs—some absolute bangers, and some that sound like they were recorded during a fever dream.Moon's birthday is coming up, so naturally The Rizzuto Show decided to celebrate early… and by “celebrate,” we mean hand him Confederate money, a deeply personal coin collection tribute, and a card that somehow manages to be both heartfelt and wildly inappropriate at the same time. It's the kind of thoughtful chaos you only get from a group of grown adults who absolutely should know better.From there, things spiral exactly how you'd expect on a comedy podcast. The crew dives into a round of “3 & 5,” where listeners attempt to name three things in five seconds—and somehow, that simple concept completely unravels. We're talking missed layups, confident wrong answers, arguments with the hosts, and at least one moment where it feels like reality itself glitches. If you've ever yelled at your radio during a game, congratulations—you're about to feel seen.As the game continues, we get debates over pizza toppings, confusion about movies currently in theaters (spoiler: nobody knows), and a surprisingly passionate breakdown of fruits with pits. It's the perfect storm of quick thinking, slow thinking, and absolutely no thinking at all. This comedy podcast thrives in that sweet spot between “we've got this” and “we absolutely do not.”Then, because the show refuses to stay in one lane, we pivot into a discussion about National Sloppy Joe Day, the mysterious “Yip Yip” sandwich, and whether certain regional foods should even exist. Throw in some hockey talk, steakhouse flexing, and a full-on debate about cream spinach, and you've got a comedy podcast episode that somehow covers everything and nothing at the same time.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.Floridians can still marry their cousins after lawmakers fail to pass statewide banWoman claims she was kicked off flight for being deaf — but Frontier tells a different storyService Tenants Dominate Retail Leasing MarketVinyl Sales Hit $1 Billion In U.S. Revenue Last YearSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It's a birthday, it's a debate, it's a full-blown identity crisis for humanity—all packed into one beautifully chaotic episode of your favorite funny podcast.We kick things off with a very important modern dilemma: if you drive an electric vehicle, can you park in a charging spot without actually charging… or does that instantly make you public enemy number one? The gang breaks it down like only a funny podcast can—half logic, half roasting, zero resolution.Then things take a turn into the existential (as they always do).
