Send us a textWhat does it mean to be "not famous, just successful" in the stand-up comedy world? Veteran comedian Steve Bruner returns to share wisdom from over four decades of making strangers laugh.The magic of comedy isn't just in the spotlight moments—it's in the careful craft behind the scenes. Steve reveals his meticulous writing process, collecting fragments of ideas on scraps of paper before weaving them into cohesive bits that connect with audiences worldwide. Despite his seasoned status, he still attends open mics to test new material, comparing it to "a baseball player needing to swing the bat to remember how to swing."Comedy has transformed dramatically since Steve's early days earning $12.20 at the Holy City Zoo. While today's emerging comics can build careers through TikTok and social media—routes unavailable to previous generations—Steve emphasizes that nothing replaces the electric connection between a live comedian and their audience. This becomes especially evident when he discusses the unique challenges of performing on cruise ships, where passengers might have just visited the Vatican the day before his show.Throughout our conversation, Steve's perspective remains refreshingly grounded. He finds joy in the process itself—seeing connections others miss and sharing that perspective through laughter. For aspiring comics, his journey offers valuable lessons about persistence, adaptability, and finding fulfillment beyond fame.The episode concludes with a hilarious sample of Steve's clean, observational comedy about wedding traditions that showcases his masterful timing and relatable humor. Whether you're a comedy fan or creator, you'll find both entertainment and insight in this conversation with a true professional who's built a lasting career by making the world funnier, one audience at a time.Support the show www.StandupComedyPodcastNetwork.com Website....check it out, podcast, jokes, blogs, and More!"NEW" Video Podcast: Tag Team Talent Podcast on Spotify & YouTube Podcast Quality List: https://www.millionpodcasts.com/heritage-podcasts/ Please Write a Review: in-depth walk-through for leaving a review.Interested in Standup Comedy?

What helps make a church truly healthy? According to recent disciple-making research, one of the clearest signs of church health is how believers are multiplying disciple-makers.In this encouraging conversation, theologian, author, and Navigators leader Alice Matagora joins Jason Daye to unpack the latest research on disciple-making in the US and what it means for pastors and ministry leaders today. Together, we explore both the challenges and the hope:Surprising research trends about disciple-making in the American churchHow pastors can help everyday believers become disciple-makersWhat healthy churches do to create disciple-making cultureWhy multiplying disciples matters for every generationPractical encouragement for pastors and leaders equipping their peopleThis episode will equip pastors and ministry leaders with clarity, hope, and practical tools for leading churches that multiply disciples who make disciples.Dig deeper into this conversation: Find the free Weekly Toolkit, including the Ministry Leaders Growth Guide, all resource links, and more, at http://PastorServe.org/networkSome key takeaways from this conversation:Alice Matagora on the importance of ordinary believers stepping into discipleship: "You don't have to know everything or have a theological degree to disciple somebody."Alice Matagora on the significance of moving beyond knowledge to true transformation: "I can know more about Jesus, but unless I'm really spending time with him, I'm not necessarily being transformed."Alice Matagora on the importance of equipping believers to open Scripture on their own: "We're kind of missing the mark on getting people into the Word of God for themselves."----------------Looking to dig more deeply into this topic and conversation?

Es geht gegen jede Vernuft, aber: Meury durfte im Militär mal wieder schiessen. Fazit: Er kann es immer noch nicht. Phil war im Baselland und wurde von älteren Schachspielern aus dem Backstage gejagt. Und Mätthu schiebt eine Sinneskrise, weil er ausser seinem SRF-Job rein gar nichts kann. «Debriefing 404», der Podcast der «Studio 404»-Crew: Die beiden Produzenten David Meury und Philip Wiederkehr rapportieren ihrem Chef Matthias Püntener aus dem Alltag. Neben Anekdoten von Drehs und Büro-Gossip bleibt auch immer Zeit für Geschichten, die das Leben schreibt – und mit denen sich die Hosts nachhaltig ihren Ruf ruinieren. Wenigstens das können sie.

Led Zeppelin were the biggest band on the planet. The great white shark of the seventies. They defined excess. They designed the avatar for the heavy metal rock star: themselves. Along the way there were violent brawls, car crashes, lots of cocaine, alcohol, satanic sexual rituals and a very freaked out David Bowie. This episode was originally published on October 1, 2019.

Way, way back in Episode 12, we looked at Stage Door and All About Eve, a couple of films about the theater industry that had practically no theater in them. We're going back to that well only only 76 episodes later, with today's look at two films that also deal with stage performers and the things that go into getting something on the boards. But where Part 1 stuck to the United States, this time around we take you to Europe. Here in the first half we bring you Topsy Turvy (1999), a British film that gives us a (mostly true) account of how Gilbert and Sullivan managed to put together one of their most famous works, The Mikado. In Part 2 we take on a more Continental flavor with The Clouds of Sils Maria.

In the second half of our episode, we check out Clouds of Sils Maria (2014), which is definitely a tonal shift from the first half. Kristen Stewart is the American assistant to an international star of stage and screen played by Juliette Binoche. The death of a former mentor leads her to consider the implications of time, aging, culture in general, and the blurring lines between relationships. We're making it sound a little dry here, but it's truly compelling. COMING ATTRACTIONS: In Reel 89 we look at some self-aware adaptations.

✨ Nuevo episodio de El Backstage

Frank is joined by Jamie, an Australian wrestling journalist and podcaster, to unpack Darren Aronofsky's The Wrestler. They break down Mickey Rourke's career-defining turn as Randy “The Ram,” why the film treats wrestling with rare respect, how indie scenes work behind the curtain, and what the movie gets right about pain, pride, and the gig life. Expect talk on blading, deathmatches, deli counters, and the bittersweet final leap. The Wrestler - CA Timestamps & Topics 00:00 Welcome and guest intro, Jamie's magazine and The Commentary Booth 01:33 Why The Wrestler, and why it treats wrestling seriously 02:21 Indie wrestling in Australia and how regional styles differ 04:27 Two-minute plot speed run for The Wrestler 06:12 Rourke's comeback, near-miss Oscar, and how his story mirrors Randy's 07:03 Aronofsky parallels with Black Swan and the “passion vs body” theme 08:46 The physical toll: pain, injuries, and why “fake” is the wrong word 10:04 Casting what-ifs and why Rourke was the right choice 11:07 Marisa Tomei's character, boundaries, and mirrored struggles 14:18 Real wrestlers on screen: Necro Butcher, Blue Meanie, R-Truth, Nigel McGuinness 15:43 Backstage authenticity: planning matches and protecting spots 16:38 Filmmaking choices: over-the-shoulder, docu feel, sound and silence 17:11 The deli counter sequence and why it hurts so much 21:16 Blading 101, when companies allow blood, and modern policies 23:05 The indie hustle: bookings, calendars, and life on the road 25:07 Health care, rehab access, and duty of care today 26:42 Drugs, CTE, and hard lessons from wrestling's past 28:46 Favorite scenes and the ambiguous ending 31:04 Locker room rituals, “match memory,” and shared shorthand 32:50 What aged well and what hits harder in the gig economy era 34:16 Deathmatch primer and recommended watch list 43:56 Awards talk, where The Wrestler ranks, and Jamie's current projects 46:04 Outro and how to send us your challenges Key Takeaways The Wrestler is a love letter to pro wrestling that treats the craft and its workers with respect. Rourke's performance lands because his real-life arc echoes Randy's fall and claw-back. The movie nails backstage realities: match planning, protecting limbs, and protecting spots. “Fake” is a myth. Stories are scripted. Physicality is very real. Aronofsky's choices — handheld camera, long silences, ring sounds — put you in Randy's head. The deli scene is a perfect “what if” path that collapses under one bad interaction. Indie wrestling is a grind: bookings, travel, day jobs, and recovery are constant tradeoffs. Modern policies are better on rehab and blood, but the culture still battles pain and risk. Memorable Quotes “It's definitely a love letter to wrestling overall.” — Jamie “The stories are fake, but the physicality is real.” — Frank “It almost feels more like a fly on the wall documentary rather than a big budget motion picture.” — Jamie “I love the ambiguity of the ending.” — Jamie “You have to survive the bad days.” — Frank Links & Resources Our site: GeekFreaksPodcast.com GeekFreaksPodcast.com is the source of all news discussed during our podcast.
