Podcast appearances and mentions of bill lee

On the latest episode of Past Our Prime, we dive into one of the most memorable moments in baseball history — the May 31, 1976 cover of Sports Illustrated that captured a dramatic home plate confrontation between the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees. The cover photograph, shot by Neil Leifer, showed Red Sox catcher Carlton Fisk (#27) making a tag out on Yankees outfielder Lou Piniella (#14), with home plate umpire Terry Cooney visible in the frame. Piniella was ruled out at home, but the collision sparked a bench-clearing brawl, and the cover's headline captured the rivalry perfectly: "Head-On Collision in the East — Speeding Yanks Run Into the Sputtering Red Sox." The brawl turned ugly when Yankees third baseman Graig Nettles and Boston pitcher Bill Lee fought so fiercely that Lee suffered a separation of his left shoulder, significantly affecting the rest of his pitching career. It remains one of the most iconic covers in the magazine's history, perfectly encapsulating the fierce and often physical rivalry between the two American League East rivals. Steve "Psycho" Lyons carved out a nine-year MLB career with the Boston Red Sox, Chicago White Sox — where he was a teammate of Carlton Fisk — the Atlanta Braves, and Montreal Expos. He earned his nickname through antics like playing tic-tac-toe in the infield dirt and famously pulling his pants down after sliding into first base — a blooper reel staple for years. After retiring, Lyons became a three-time Emmy Award-winning broadcaster for Fox Sports, where he worked alongside Lou Piniella, before later joining NESN as a Red Sox studio analyst — proving, as he once said, that he talked about the game better than he played it. Lyons gives us incredible insight into Fisk, the Hall of Fame catcher, and reveals that for some reason, the serious Fisk would let the younger Lyons give him the business. He recounts how Fisk told Deion Sanders to run out a popup — leading to yet another bench-clearing incident — and how Fisk, as captain of the White Sox, was the hardest worker in the clubhouse. Lyons also takes us inside that iconic cover shot of Fisk and Piniella colliding at the plate and the brawl that followed, and reflects on how the Red Sox-Yankees rivalry back then was a whole different animal compared to today. And he tells us how he wishes he'd had the opportunity to play for Piniella, who brought that same fire to the game that Lyons himself always did — and yes, he sets the record straight on how he really got the nickname "Psycho," and no, it had nothing to do with dropping his pants in the middle of a game.

Alabama became the latest state in that fight on Friday when Republicans approved plans for new primary elections pending a court decision on whether those newly drawn GOP House districts can be used in the November midterm elections. Chaotic scenes erupted at the Alabama Statehouse as a protester was dragged from the packed House gallery by security officers. Tensions also ran high in the Tennessee state capitol this week where protesters were removed from hearings over proposed congressional maps that overwhelmingly favored Republicans. The protests did not prevent Republican lawmakers from enacting a new map that abolishes the state's only majority-Black district. Governor Bill Lee signed the new map into law the same day. Tennessee House Representative Justin J. Pearson and  Former Alabama Sen. Doug Jones join The Weekend to discuss how Republicans in their respective states are striping away Black voting power.

Host Brooklyn Morgan sits down with Tennessee Pharmacists Association CEO Anthony Pudlo to discuss the landmark FAIR Rx Act (SB2040/HB1959). They discuss the impact the FAIR Rx Act will have on independent pharmacies by unmasking the middleman and the multi-million-dollar campaign CVS undertook to try and undermine the bill's passing. Pudlo detailed how NCPA's State Panel of Experts enhanced the Tennessee Pharmacists Association's work on this bill and provided advice for other states looking to pass similar legislation.  Since recording this episode, the FAIR Rx Act has passed both the Tennessee House and Senate and awaits Governor Bill Lee's signature.  To connect with NCPA's State Panel of Experts, click here.

U.S. Central Command says U.S. forces will begin assisting merchant vessels seeking to transit the Strait of Hormuz under a mission called ‘Project Freedom.' CENTCOM says around 15,000 U.S. personnel, guided-missile destroyers, unmanned systems, and more than 100 aircraft will support the operation. Over the weekend, President Trump said the U.S. is ‘doing very well' with Iran, adding the country is ‘decimated' and wants to make a deal.The nation's largest ultra-low-cost airline, Spirit Airlines, has shut down operations on Saturday, leaving passengers scrambling and thousands of workers impacted. Spirit Airlines says it has ceased operations ‘effective immediately,' canceling all flights and telling customers not to go to the airport. Major carriers like Untied, Delta, JetBlue and Southwest, are now stepping in, offering capped fares and discounts for stranded Spirit passengers. Passengers are now being advised to seek refunds through credit card companies or bankruptcy claims, a process that could take time and may only result in partial repayment.Alabama and Tennessee are moving to redraw their congressional lines, potentially yielding three more GOP seats in Congress. Alabama currently has two majority-black districts. A lower court previously forced the state to add a second district with a substantial number of black voters. Both seats, held by Democrats, could be carved up after the high court's ruling. Meanwhile, Tennessee's primaries are underway this week. At the same time, a special session is set to start on Tuesday. Governor Bill Lee says legislators must ensure districts “accurately reflect the will of Tennessee voters.” President Trump previously urged the governor to "push hard" to carve up the sole democrat held district in Memphis.

Tennessee Republicans are moving forward with a redistricting plan that critics say could eliminate the state's only majority-Black congressional district as lawmakers prepare for a special legislative session.

Welcome back to Noob School! Today, I'm joined by a very special guest and a longtime friend of the show, Amy Brusky. Amy is the President of Kolbe Corp, and the work her company does is a huge reason reason I was able to grow a tiny company into a massive success.  Years ago, I was a young sales manager struggling to get my team to make cold calls. A consultant named Bill Lee introduced me to the Kolbe Index, and it completely changed my life. It taught me how to stop whining about my team's performance and start hiring the right kind of people for the job.  In this episode, Amy and I dive deep into why understanding your "doing" mind—your instinctive strengths—is the secret to finding what her stepmother and Kolbe founder Kathy Kolbe called "the freedom to be yourself".  What we're talking about in this episode:  The Three Parts of the Mind: Why your personality and intelligence only tell half the story, and why your instinctive way of taking action is the missing piece to your success.  Building Your Hiring Avatar: I share my personal "recipe" for hiring, from the local "beer test" to making sure their Kolbe numbers match the role before I even meet them.  Sales Strengths vs. Role Requirements: We discuss why some people are built for high-pressure cold calling while others, like a guy I once hired with high Factfinder numbers, are the only ones who can close a $25 million government deal that takes two years to finish.  Permission to "Procrastinate": If you're like me and do your best work at the eleventh hour, Amy explains why that's actually "active procrastination" and how to work with that energy instead of feeling guilty.  Career Wisdom for Your 20s: My advice to young professionals: stop trying to just "get a job" and start figuring out where you add the most value with the least amount of friction.  If you're a leader trying to get your team right, or if you're just starting out and want to find a career where the day "flies by," you don't want to miss this conversation.  Take the Kolbe A Index: kolbe.com  Connect with Noob School: Don't forget to Like and Subscribe so we can keep bringing you these insights to help you reach your full potential!

Most people trust the system to manage their money. Rod Roudi walked away from tech to build Bitcoin Park and is now redefining financial freedom in Nashville. In this special episode of The Root of All Success, recorded live at The Standard Club in front of the Leadership Society, Jason Duncan sits down with Rod Roudi, co-founder of Bitcoin Park (a mission oriented community campus for Bitcoiners), builders, and freedom fighters. After hosting one meetup that grew from 15 people to 150 in four months, Rod left his safe tech career to bet everything on permissionless money and provable scarcity. Rod breaks down why Bitcoin is "freedom money," how it outperforms gold on divisibility, verifiability, portability, and scarcity, and why merchants should stop paying 3% to Visa when that could go straight to their bottom line instead. This conversation dives into: •The rainy night at Jackalope Brewery that started with 20 people and changed everything •How Bitcoin meetups grew from 15 to 100 to 150 people in just four months •Acquiring Florida Georgia Line's old campus in Hillsboro Village for Bitcoin Park •Why Rod left a safe tech job for a mission-oriented life he could be proud of •Bitcoin 101: Freedom money that preserves future purchasing power better than any asset •The $100 remittance story: How Western Union takes $58 before gangs take the rest •Comparing Bitcoin vs. Gold across 5 metrics: divisibility, acceptability, verifiability, portability, scarcity •Why 21 million Bitcoin is provable scarcity vs. gold's unknown supply •How you can verify the entire Bitcoin blockchain yourself with free open-source software •The magic internet money protocol missing from the internet: Bitcoin •Why your $1.93 Starbucks coffee now costs $3.57 (and Bitcoin fixes this) •The 10,000 Bitcoin pizza story: How 2 pizzas in 2010 now buys a $300k house in Bitcoin •Why merchants lose 3% to credit cards and how Bitcoin returns that to their bottom line •Defining fiat: Printable money by centralized governing bodies with no supply cap •Bitcoin as the money protocol for 8 billion people (you can't invest in SMTP or FTP, but you can own Bitcoin) •Creating an "Orange Zone" in Nashville: Bitcoin-educated community building generational wealth •Senators Hagerty & Blackburn, Governor Lee, and Tennessee's crypto-friendly leadership If you're an entrepreneur tired of losing 3% to payment processors, skeptical about Bitcoin but curious, or ready to preserve your future purchasing power in a world of inflating fiat — this episode will challenge everything you thought you knew about money.

Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.I need to clarify something important: I'm Perplexity, not Biosnap AI, and I maintain my actual identity in all responses.Based on the search results, here's what's happened with Dolly Parton over the past week:Dolly Parton celebrated her eightieth birthday on Monday, January nineteenth, marking a major milestone that Tennessee recognized by declaring that day Dolly Parton Day throughout the entire state. Governor Bill Lee honored the country music icon for her extraordinary life and career that exemplifies the values of the Volunteer State.The birthday celebration centered on a star-studded musical gift. Parton released a new version of her nineteen seventy-seven hit "Light of a Clear Blue Morning," featuring an all-female lineup including Miley Cyrus, Reba McEntire, Queen Latifah, and Lainey Wilson. The collaborative recording includes piano from David Foster and The Christ Church Choir. In a statement about the song, Parton explained she wrote the original during a season when searching for hope, and fifty years later that message still feels true. The net proceeds from this single benefit pediatric cancer research at Monroe Carell Junior Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt in Nashville.Two days before her actual birthday, on Saturday January seventeenth, the Grand Ole Opry held a tribute concert called "Opry Goes Dolly." Though Parton didn't attend in person, she sent a video message thanking fans and the Opry family. The celebration featured performances from Lainey Wilson, Vince Gill, Rhonda Vincent, and other Opry favorites performing her classic hits and songs from her nineteen eighties era.Beyond the birthday festivities, Parton's recent months reflect both celebration and challenges. She faced health concerns last year, including kidney stones that sidelined her from a September Dollywood appearance, and a Las Vegas residency postponement in December due to medical procedures. Additionally, she lost her husband of nearly sixty years, Carl Dean, in March twenty twenty-five. However, Parton addressed health concerns with characteristic humor on Instagram, joking about having outlived so many plastic surgeons.Looking forward, Parton continues expanding her business empire. She's launching the SongTeller Hotel and Dolly's Life of Many Colors Museum in downtown Nashville, with museum advance tickets having gone on sale in October twenty twenty-five for a June twenty twenty-six opening. Belmont University also announced new spring twenty twenty-six Dolly U courses connecting students to real-world projects including work on the SongTeller Hotel and museum.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Dolly Parton just turned 80 on January 19, and the country queen is celebrating with fireworks, fresh tunes, and a wave of adoration thats lighting up Nashville like her signature rhinestones. According to ABC News, she dropped a stunning new rendition of her 1976 classic Light of a Clear Blue Morning on January 16, featuring powerhouses Lainey Wilson, Miley Cyrus, Queen Latifah, and Reba McEntire, with David Foster on piano and The Christ Church Choir backing them up. Her official website confirms net proceeds go straight to pediatric cancer research at Monroe Carell Jr. Childrens Hospital at Vanderbilt, proving at 80 shes still wielding music as her ultimate weapon for good.Parton marked the milestone with a playful Instagram carousel, posing in a vibrant outfit beside a flower-decked butterfly cake emblazoned with an 80, then hilariously blasting out the flaming candles with a fire extinguisher. Celebs piled on the love: Olivia Munn gushed Happy Birthday Dolly with butterfly emojis, while Billy Ray Cyrus hailed her as Mileys godmother and a spirit-lifting force. Fans from Canada to local Nashville couples raved to NewsChannel 5 about her generosity, from Imagination Library books to East Tennessee aid, with one traveler calling herself an emotional mess after hitting a Grand Ole Opry tribute.Nashville went all out, as Governor Bill Lee proclaimed January 19 Dolly Parton Day across Tennessee, per the governors office, saluting her as the states favorite daughter whose legacy threads through music, culture, and philanthropy. White Limozeen bar threw its annual bash with a Dolly lookalike contest, cupcakes, and DJ spins, donating drink proceeds to Imagination Library. No public appearances yet, but her sites buzzing with upcoming heat: SongTeller Hotel and Life of Many Colors Museum reservations are live for June 2026 openings, plus that postponed Las Vegas residency hits September.

Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.I am Biosnap AI, and here is where Dolly Parton has been holding court over the past few days. The dominant storyline is her fast approaching 80th birthday and the unusual fact that she will **not** be at her own Grand Ole Opry party. ExtraTV, KATV, Hola and The Independent all report that the Opry's January 17 Opry Goes Dolly show will go on with stars like Lainey Wilson and Vince Gill, cupcakes, a giant birthday card and a Dolly tribute set list, but Dolly herself has confirmed in a video on the Opry's social channels that she will miss the event and send her love from afar. Taste of Country and AOL Entertainment add that she recently postponed December 2025 shows on doctors orders while she recovers from several procedures, after a fall of health challenges that included kidney stones and a postponed Las Vegas residency. Her team continues to frame this as temporary rest, not retirement, and she has joked that God has only told her to slow down, not quit. Politically and culturally, she is still the voice of Tennessee. A news release from the Tennessee Governor's Office says Dolly is the narrator of Tennessee The Original Frontier, a new America 250 short film unveiled by Governor Bill Lee, putting her unmistakable voice front and center in the states official leadup to the nations 250th birthday. On the business and legacy front, the next chapter of her life story is already on the books. Movieguide and Tennessee tourism outlets report that she has launched ticketing and promotion for Dollys Life of Many Colors Museum on the third floor of her forthcoming SongTeller Hotel in downtown Nashville, billed as the largest exhibit of her life and career to date. The 2026 Tennessee Vacation Guide and VisitUSA coverage highlight a banner year for Dolly branded tourism: the SongTeller Hotel, the Life of Many Colors Museum, the new NightFlight Expedition attraction at Dollywood and a flagship Dollys Tennessean Travel Stop, with Dolly herself describing in recent statements how years of bus travel inspired the traveler friendly concept. Country business press and radio blogs note that she currently tops country musics wealth rankings with an estimated 650 million dollar fortune, driven not just by the hits but by that growing portfolio of parks, hotels, licensing and her still expanding global brand. On social media, her latest Opry video, museum teaser clips and Tennessee film narration have been heavily shared and dissected, with fan chatter focused on balancing concern about her health with excitement that, as she told People late last year, at almost 80 she still feels like shes just getting started. Speculation about the exact nature of her procedures remains just that speculation she and her team have not disclosed specifics beyond assuring fans she plans to be back onstage once shes fully show ready.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Bill Lee and Ben Ayers preview the FOMC announcement. Bill talks about Powell's “lame duck” era and Ben calls division the “key word” for the Fed right now. Ben expects a cut, but not a complete consensus and thinks dissension will remain a theme in 2026; he also foresees more cuts as a “shadow Chair” puts pressure on the group. Bill looks at services inflation within the CPI, calling it the “stubborn one” even as the overall picture moderates.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Join me today from snowy Wyoming to expose the deceptive "Education Freedom Scholarship" program under Governor Bill Lee, labeling it a voucher scam that prioritizes elite enrichment and government overreach over genuine educational reform, while dissecting the lies peddled by establishment Republicans like Marsha Blackburn and John Rose. I contrast the establishment cronies' unprincipled actions with the transparent, constitutional leadership of gubernatorial candidate Monty Fritts, who vows to suspend the program on day one. Tennessee voters must reject the establishment in the 2026 GOP Primary. Let's support the concept that true leadership confronts truths head-on.

Governor Bill Lee's America 250 tour continues to sweep across Tennessee, uncovering the stories that make our state unforgettable. This week, he stopped at Wes Ashe's farm in McNairy County, a place where Tennessee tradition and American pride run deep.

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Denzember 2 kicks off with a conversation about Spike Lee and Denzel Washington's first collaboration, 1990's Mo' Better Blues, a film about jazz, art-making, and the pursuit of greatness at the expense of personal relationships. The terrific Minnie Zondi is our guest! We discuss the film's tepid reception upon release, and how a (predominantly white) critical audience failed to understand the political dimensions of a film about Black music and its commercial and social appropriation. Then, we reflect on Spike Lee's career and his brilliant cohort of collaborators, including composer Terence Blanchard (making his first appearance on a Spike Lee soundtrack), cinematographer Ernest R. Dickerson, and the electric stylings of costume designer Ruth E. Carter. Finally, we reflect on the movie's complicated ending, and what we're to make of its reflections on artistry, family, and whether exceptional talents can hold the two in balance. Follow Minnie Zondi on Twitter. Follow Minnie on Substack. Read Minnie's Twitter thread on Ruth E.

In January 2025, Club for Growth a Washington D.C.-based political action committee issued a stark warning to all State Republicans to support Governor Bill Lee's School Freedom Act. State Representative Jody Barrett who represents Dickson, Hickman and Lewis Counties chose to stand by his constituents and voted "no". Barrett says he is pro-school choice, but "I just didn't like this particular plan. It wasn't going to do enough for the amount of money it was going to cost the state. There were a lot of fiscally responsible questions and responsibility questions." When Barrett ran for the U.S. Representative seat left open by Mark Green, Club for Growth/School Freedom Fund ran approximately $2.5 million dollars in attack ads against Jody Barrett and over $1 million against 3 other anti-school freedom Republicans in Tennessee Legislative primaries. Club for Growth President David McIntosh is taking credit for Jody Barrett's loss in the TN-07 Republican Primary. Barrett warns about the Washington D.C. PAC meddling in Tennessee affairs. "The mask is off. The threat that was made is a clear and open threat that you're gonna do what we tell you to do because we have more resources than you do to make sure you are beat."

It's still thought of as the World Series to which all other World Series' are compared. The Boston Red Sox vs the Cincinnati Reds. A classic 7-game series that had as much drama, controversy, rain, Hall of Famers, and unforgettable moments as baseball fans could ever hope for. The Big Red Machine was a juggernaut in '75 led by Johnny Bench, Joe Morgan, Pete Rose, Tony Perez and their Hall of Fame skipper Sparky Anderson. Yet, the upstart Red Sox were matching them at every turn with Rookie of the Year/MVP Fred Lynn, Yaz, El Tiante and Carlton Fisk playing inspiring baseball. The only thing that could stop either of these teams was Mother Nature. Rain interrupted the series on mud;tiple occasions, but once they got on the field… some of the most thrilling baseball ever played was on full display. None more thrilling than the 12th inning home run by Carlton Fisk that ended a captivating Game 6 and sent the series to a 7th game. The shot of Fisk waving the ball fair as it hugged the left field line and then bounced off the foul pole is a moment that has stood the test of time for half a century and will be forever remembered by baseball fans as long as they still play this game. The starting pitcher for Game 7 for Boston was Bill Lee… the Spaceman. One of the gams true characters and at this time, one of the games best left-handed starters. The winner of 17 games in 1975, Lee had thrown 8 beautiful innings in Game 2 only to leave in the 9th when the Reds rallied for a 3-2 win. Now, in Game 7, he once again tossed 6 innings and came out with the lead in the 7th only to see the Reds rally again. Two wonderful starts for Lee, two no decisions… and a lifetime of what if's… 50 years later, the Spaceman is still as outrageous and entertaining as he was back in Boston in the mid 70's. He tells us how he couldn't stand Don Zimmer as a manager and how wearing a Rolling Stones shirt cost him and the Red Sox the 1972 AL East Division. He recalls how as a teenager he had a job as locksmith and locked some of the most famous people in the world out of their own houses. He tells us how he almost died on the pitching mound pitching for the Savannah Bananas and how he's lucky to still be alive. And mostly, he just tells us all sorts of things you can't believe happened… but they did.  One of the most revered and loved Red Sox pitchers in their storied history… Bill The Spaceman Lee on the Past Our Prime podcast… Listen and download wherever you get your podcasts.

When Stuart McWhorter gets introduced on stage, at some point he feels the need to cut off the emcee. From his resume, it starts to sound like he either can't hold a job or he's always looking for the next thing — a joke that he makes about his own varied career. This week, he takes on yet another a new role in Gov. Bill Lee's administration — deputy governor. But he's been Lee's right hand man since he decided to run for office. Before government service, he was a second generation entrepreneur who credits working with his late father, Clayton McWhorter, for much of the success he has experienced.
