Podcast appearances and mentions of Bill Murray

Tonight's show is all about radar and reflectivity.  Guest WeatherBrain Charles Kuster works in the radar division of NSSL.  He started his career at the OU Cooperative Institute.  Then, moved to NSSL and has been there ever since.  He attended the University of Oklahoma, where he completed his Bachelor's degree in 2012 and eventually his Master's in 2014. Charles was a Graduate Research Assistant with OU CIMMS before securing a position as Research Associate in January of this year.  Charles, welcome to WeatherBrains! Second Guest WeatherBrain Jami Boettcher came to CIWRO/NSSL after retiring from the National Weather Service, comprised of about 10 years in operations, and 25 years as an Instructor for the Warning Decision Training Division. Her first area of expertise as a trainer focused on the WSR-88D system updates, with the most significant being the conversion to dual polarization. Developing and delivering training that focused on the needs of the NWS operational community was always the priority. Her second area of training expertise was on the cognitive domain of NWS warning operations and its three components: science, technology, and human factors.  Jamie, welcome to the show!

In Part 2 of Season 13, Episode 5, we sharpen the most important club in your bag — your mind. Dr. Bob Winters, “The Confidence Doctor,” returns with a powerful lesson on patience, resilience, and mental toughness in golf. This month's Dr. Bob-ism says it all: “Patience is confidence waiting to happen.” We dive into how emotional control, persistence, and belief directly impact your scores — especially when the round starts going sideways. If you're looking to lower scores through better golf psychology and course management, this segment is for you. Then Dave Stockton Jr. makes his long-overdue return to the show. We talk about the legendary Stockton family's influence on the game, Ryder Cup success, and why their winning mindset could be exactly what Team USA needs next time around. Dave also shares stories from recent rounds at some incredible West Coast golf courses, including time spent at Goathill Park, the oceanside public course co-owned by Bill Murray, plus hanging out with Dodgers and Padres legend Steve Garvey. From mental game mastery to Ryder Cup strategy and hidden gem golf courses, this episode blends instruction, insight, and great stories from inside the game. Thank you for pressing play and being part of the journey. #GolfPodcast #MentalGame #GolfPsychology #DrBobWinters #DaveStocktonJr #RyderCup #GolfInstruction #GolfMindset #ConfidenceInGolf #Resilience #GoathillPark #BillMurray #PGA #GolfTips #LowerYourScores #TeamUSA #GolfLife #GolfCommunity

This week on FridayFlix, we're stuck in a time loop with Bill Murray as we revisit the comedy classic Groundhog Day (1993).Is it a romantic comedy? A philosophical drama? A masterclass in character growth disguised as a small-town weather report? We break down why this high-concept comedy has become one of the most influential films of the last 30 years. From Murray's perfectly calibrated performance to the genius of comedy through repetition, we explore what makes this movie endlessly rewatchable—and why it somehow gets better with age.We also dive into the box office numbers, the early '90s comedy landscape, behind-the-scenes tension between Bill Murray and Harold Ramis, and the big question: how long was Phil actually stuck in that time loop?So grab your coffee, watch out for icy sidewalks, and don't step in that puddle—because it's February 2nd… again.Email us your thoughts at jkentertainment247@gmail.com Follow us on Instagram & Facebook @fridayflixpodcast And find us on Letterboxd at Cinemack89 and KMcanthony

Marc Shaiman has won a Tony award, two Grammy awards, two Emmy awards, and has been nominated for seven Oscars. Unsurprisingly, after a career spanning over 50 years rubbing shoulders with the "who's who" of entertainment he is not at a loss for stories to share.In honor of his hilarious new memoir, Never Mind the Happy: Showbiz Stories From a Sore Winner, we talked with Marc about a brief, but pivotal, section early in his career – Saturday Night Live. Beginning as a freelance performer during the Dick Ebersol years, he began backing up cast members such as Julia Louis-Dreyfus and went on to form life-long friendships with the likes of Martin Short and Billy Crystal. When Lorne Michaels returned to the show, he was hired as a full-time writer and helped create one of the most iconic recurring characters of SNL's second Golden Era – The Sweeney Sisters.Marc talks about working on SNL with Jan Hooks, Phil Hartman, Maya Rudolph, Paul Shaffer, Steve Martin, and Mary Tyler Moore, as well as shares hilarious behind-the-scenes tales about Bill Murray, William Shatner, Paul McCartney, and Prince! He also tells the story of meeting, working, and living with Bette Midler (when he was only a teenager), discusses his decades-long relationship working with Rob Reiner, and reveals the most outrageous story from his book.We had such a blast talking Saturday Night Live with Marc, we didn't even get a chance to talk about:*Being one of the originators of the Rocky Horror Picture Show screenings*Producing songs with Mariah Carey and Harry Connick, Jr.*Backing up Bette Midler on Johnny Carson's final show*Writing songs for South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut*Creating Hairspray for BroadwayAll of which are in the book – which you can order HERE!Or the amazing audio book - HERE!Or...as Marc says (or sings) himself - GET BOTH!---------------------------------Subscribe & Follow today!

In my recent article, I spoke to you about Mark Carney's wonderful talk at Davos and explained the structure he used to deliver it. Now let me tell you about how Volodymyr Zelenskyy's talk used the same format in his emotional appeal to Europe and the World for help for his people. His opening lines followed a classic format used by all good speakers. He speaks about something familiar to the audience that would immediately get their attention. Then he proceeded to talk about something that would gain their interest. See how he did this below: Attention: "Dear friends, everyone remembers the great American film, "Groundhog Day" with Bill Murray and Andie McDowell, yes, but no one would want to live like that, repeating the same thing for weeks, months, and, of course, for years." Interest: "And yet, that's exactly how we live now. It's our life and every Forum like this one proves it. Just last year, here in Davos, I ended my speech with the words, Europe needs to know how to defend itself. A year has passed and nothing has changed. We are still in a situation where I must say the same words, but why?" Main Body of the talk: This would be what I call the conviction part of the talk. He then provided examples of where countries could take action. A year has passed and nothing has happened Things move faster than Europe's decision making Europe must build a better world Without action there is no tomorrow Zelenskyy provides lots of examples of how support could be provided to Ukraine, and I will leave it to you to listen to his speech after reading this article. In my view, he provided too many suggestions, which often leads people to think this is insurmountable and so end up doing nothing. There is an old Irish proverb which says 'Do not send a man into a shed full of shovels and ask him to take his pick.' Suggesting a desired outcome is a critical part of all speeches that call for Action Desirable Outcome: "Ukraine is ready to help with anything that is needed to guarantee peace and prevent destruction. We are ready to help others become stronger than they are now. We are ready to be part of a Europe that truly matters, a Europe of real power, Today, we need that power to protect our own independence, but you need Ukraine's independence too, because tomorrow, you may have to defend your way of life, and when Ukraine is with you, no one will wipe their feet on you and you will always have a way to act and act in time." Call for Action: Here, Zelenskyy is pleading with powerful people to take action, and he ends his speech by bringing us back to where he started, appealing to leaders to act. "This is very important, act in time. Dear friends, today is one of the last days of Davos, though definitely not the last Davos, of course, and everyone agrees on that and many people believe that somehow things will work out on their own, but we cannot rely on 'somehow' for real security." "Faith is not enough. Faith in a partner in a lucky turn of events, no intellectual discussions are capable of stopping wars, we need action, world order comes from action and we just need the courage to act. Without action now, there is no tomorrow. Let's end this Groundhog Day, and yes, it's possible." Zelenskyy brought his speech full circle in referring to Groundhog Day at the end, ensuring his audience would remember his Call for Action. By Executive Coach Andrew Keogh of Aristo.ie

Send a textWhat happens when a beloved pro-am trades its soul for a signature purse? We unpack Pebble Beach's $20M pivot—fewer celebrity swings, more surgical golf—and the ripple effects on how fans connect with the sport. The charm of mis-hits and Bill Murray lore gives way to Sunday fireworks as Scotty Scheffler drops three eagles and Colin Morikawa turns a 20‑minute fairway wait into a stone-cold birdie to win. It's elite theater, but at a cost: the human texture that once made Pebble feel like a shared secret.From there we head to the WM Phoenix Open, where golf's loudest hole thrives on vision, not accident. We break down how WM's rebrand, zero‑waste engineering, and stadium swagger converted a Tiger‑sparked moment into a sustainability lab with half a million attendees as co‑authors. Love the noise or loathe it, the model blends purpose and party in a way the rest of sports keeps trying to copy.We also zoom out to the stories TV tries to force and the ones that earn the frame: Koepka's shadow versus Scheffler's grind, Hideki's late wobble, and why cameras should follow form over fame. Then it's Super Bowl ad psychology, a CGI bear that sticks in your head, halftime culture flashpoints, and the media incentives that keep outrage on a loop. Finally, we look at Olympic calculus through Eileen Gu's choice and celebrate the universal rhythm of fall, rehab, return—the reason moguls, downhill, and even curling keep pulling us back.If you love golf's edge, sports as spectacle, and the real decisions behind the headlines, you'll feel right at home here.

Welcome to our annual Valentine's Day Special, and this year for a change it's not a wildly inappropriate movie but a bona fide classic - Groundhog Day (1993) starring Bill Murray, Andie MacDowell, and Scooter the groundhog as seer of seers, prognosticator of all prognosticators, Punxsutawney Phil!

Even though that rodent betrayed us once again, the Beat of the Month crew are here to get you through it - with a topic of Groundhog Day games! What is a groundhog day game you ask? You ever see that movie from the 90s with Bill Murray when he repeats the same day over and over? Well these are games that we like to play over and over again. Or is it just a game where you do the same thing over and over?Whatever it means, we've got quite a variety of games to talk about! Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, World of Tanks, Final Fantasy Tactics, Parappa the Rapper, Fortnite - and many more! As always we've got some trivia with a 'Ground' 'Hog' theme, and we even sneak some movie discussion in there as well.

In this whimsical episode of Tangent Station, hosts dive into the hilarity of Rent a Backstory—a service that transforms mundane lives into tales of intrigue. They also poke fun at the annual tradition of Groundhog Day, where Punxsutawney Phil, America's furry oracle, predicts the weather with dubious accuracy. Amidst playful banter, they explore the influence of the 1993 Bill Murray movie and reflect on humanity's quirky obsession with predicting meteorological patterns through whimsical and often absurd traditions. Throughout, a blend of humor, nostalgia, and engaging tangents keeps listeners entertained.

Nick revisits what may be the strangest and darkest Christmas episode Saturday Night Live ever put on the air, when Bill Murray returned to host on December 12, 1981. What should have been a holiday show quickly turned unsettling, starting with a deeply odd monologue featuring a silent Santa, followed by sketches that veered from uncomfortable to outright disturbing. There was a fake tampon commercial led by Father Guido Sarducci, played by Don Novello, a tasteless designer jeans bit, and an offbeat musical performance by the Yale Whiffenpoofs. Things took a sharp turn when Sarducci returned with Murray to share predictions for 1982, including World War III and nuclear annihilation. Almost immediately after, the show was interrupted by a real NBC news bulletin announcing that Russia had invaded Poland. What followed was one of the most surreal moments in the show's history, a bleak, apocalyptic sketch about global destruction written by Michael O’Donoghue, which ended up being his final contribution before he was fired that same night.

SNL finally gets comedy legend Bob Newhart to host the show, and we finally get back together for a “live” episode. In honor of being in the same room, we try something a little different and record immediately after watching each bit.This episode of Saturday Night Live is famous for not having a lot of material, with only four live sketches (in addition to the cold open). The show doesn't stray far from the host's strong suit, but is that a good thing? We're not sure. But one thing that is certain – if you're a Bob Newhart fan you'll enjoy this episode.The musical guests are a bit of a conundrum. The Amazing Rhythm Aces were a request from Bill Murray (who joins them on stage for one number) and we're still trying to figure out how Bruce Cockburn got an invite. We've only got two more episodes left!

What about Bill, actually? Bill Murray starred in the hit 1991 comedy, What About Bob? Playing the titular Bob, Murray was tasked with portraying a variety of mental health issues, much to the delight of critics and audiences. But now, decades later, is any of this a laughing matter? Is "stalking" adorable if the guy's Bill Murray? And is Richard Dreyfuss' Leo the good guy or something far sinister?

Send us a textWhat if you could walk into a movie and stay the night? We head to Woodstock, Illinois—the real-world stand-in for Punxsutawney—and sit down with Lori, the innkeeper behind the Cherry Tree Inn Bed and Breakfast, the house fans know as Phil Connors' wake-up spot. She tells us how she tore down the no trespassing signs, opened the door to anyone peeking through the windows, and built a year-round tradition where hundreds stream through on Groundhog Day weekend to relive the magic.Lori breaks down the on-screen illusions: why the film's staircase sits differently, how stained glass and a corner fireplace were recreated on set, and what it feels like to live “inside” a celebrity house. We get the wild story of the 2020 Super Bowl Jeep commercial, from a snow-drenched shoot to Bill Murray and Stephen Tobolowsky rewatching scenes under a tarp to improvise lines. Along the way, we hear about celebrity breakfasts, a waitlist that stretches a decade, and visitors from nine countries who arrive with personal connections to a film that quietly teaches us to do today a little better than yesterday.The town itself shines. Independent shops circle the square, the opera house draws touring acts, and holiday movies now film on the same streets where Phil's loop unfolded.

Plus: How did screenwriter Danny Rubin land on the idea of a time loop? How long was Phil caught in the loop? How much did he spend on his last day?

We will be releasing this episode every day for the next 33 years, the same amount of time that Bill Murray was presumably stuck in Groundhog's Day. Which is stupid because if the writers of Groundhog's Day knew anything it's that Bill Murray presumably would have been stuck in Groundhog's Day for 6 weeks. That being said, Jordan Hicks improved the Red Sox today. He now plays for the White Sox. Thanks Breslow, you never let us down! Oh yeah and we are joined by Emmy award winner @SeaDogsMark.

The three kick things off by appreciating the film's unique premise of repeating the same day, exploring how it provides endless opportunities for hilarity and self-discovery. The trio shares their favorite moments, from Bill Murray's antics to the deeper themes of personal growth, love, and the struggle against one's own ego. They also ponder the metaphysical questions that arise from the story, like why is Phil the only one stuck in this time loop and what it means for his character development. As they laugh and reflect on this beloved flick, listeners are invited to join in on the fun and share their own interpretations of "Groundhog Day"!Takeaways:The crew reflects on their annual tradition of discussing 'Groundhog Day', emphasizing the film's enduring appeal and the unique experience of reliving the same day, just like we do every year on this podcast.They explore the character arc of Phil Connors, noting how his journey from self-absorption to genuine care for others is both comedic and profound, giving audiences a reason to root for him despite his initial flaws.The conversation touches on the humorous yet dark implications of having the ability to relive a day endlessly, pondering what one would do in a similar situation, leading to some hilariously wild ideas from the hosts.Andy, Leah, and Evan dive into the significance of weather in the film, drawing parallels between the chaos of their lives and the unpredictability of Punxsutawney Phil's predictions, sparking laughter and camaraderie among them.The trio discusses other time loop films and series that have emerged since 'Groundhog Day', pointing out how the concept has evolved while still being rooted in the same existential questions about life and choices.As they wrap up, they humorously reflect on how our discussions about 'Groundhog Day' have become a ritual, almost like the film itself, with the potential for new insights each time we revisit it, keeping the conversation fresh and engaging..Be sure to check out our merch, find extra content, and become an official member of Systematic Geekology on our website:https://systematic-geekology-shop.fourthwall.com/.Check out all of our other Groundhog Day episodes here:2025: https://systematic-geekology.captivate.fm/episode/revisiting-groundhog-day-a-cinematic-tradition/2024: https://systematic-geekology.captivate.fm/episode/have-you-heard-this-episode-before/2023: https://systematic-geekology.captivate.fm/episode/should-we-do-a-repeat-episode/2022:

We often say it's a miracle any movie gets made, but some movies are actual miracles. Groundhog Day (1993) is a perfect example of this, because its three primary creative voices (director Harold Ramis, writer Danny Rubin, and star Bill Murray) were each pulling in different, conflicting directions throughout the movie's production. Somehow, all that dissension led to a perfect object of a film, a hilarious comedy that gets at huge philosophical questions, but not in an annoying way. And it's also a sweet and lovely little romantic comedy... so why did it ruin the decades-long friendship between Ramis and Murray?

Happy Gopher Day! Join James and Connor (aka the Country Road Kid) as we rank and review Highwayman, the debut studio album by country supergroup The Highwaymen! In an attempt to stay relevant in an ever-changing country music landscape, four legends came together to create something different: Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson. After collaborating and admiring each other's work for decades, the Mount Rushmore of rugged outlaw country took to the studio, armed with ten hits like Against The Wind, Deportee, and Cash's own Big River. Would this Hail Mary effort jumpstart their iconic careers?We'll talk about the four episodes that led us here -- one about each individual Highwayman-- and learn about the holiday specials and films that brought them all together in the first place. We'll explore their group dynamics and talk about the ways music had changed around them between their debuts and 1985. All the while we'll reminisce about panning for gold in the sandbox, hearing these songs as kids, and more. The Mixtaper has facts (or spins) about hotel horses, midwife pranks, and a suspiciously Bill-Murray-adjacent Midnight Breakfast fact. Turn those suits inside out and get ready to ride with some of the genre's greatest.What do you think about the Highwaymen supergroup? Is this album over- or under-ambitious, and is it the best of their three records to cover in an episode? How do you think the Groundhog Day time loop mechanics work?

For the second part of our Delphine Seyrig Acteurist Spotlight we disregarded chronology to discuss two intensely experimental Marguerite Duras films, India Song (1975) and Baxter, Vera Baxter (1977). We enumerate Duras' peculiarities as a writer and filmmaker and their effects in these studies of sexual and existential crisis, set against the backdrop of European colonialism and the second-wave feminist movement, respectively; and consider the range of qualities Seyrig brings to them, from ghoulish abstraction to salutary warmth. Then in Fear and Moviegoing in Toronto, the TIFF Lightbox Naruse continues with two starkly different family melodramas, the raw and electric Older Brother, Younger Sister (1953) and the lush and star-studded Daughters, Wives and a Mother (1960), in which a vacuum cleaner brings out a new side of Setsuko Hara; and Elise realizes she was wrong about Bill Murray in Lost in Translation.

Deze week in de Bright Podcast onder meer de nieuwe AirTag, de minst betrouwbare Android-telefoons, een nieuwe gadget van Sonos en een listige truc van Microsoft. Verder in deze aflevering: weer twee streamingdiensten die de prijzen verhogen, een Amerikaanse staat die e-bikes verbant en dubbel goed nieuws over groene stroom en EV's. Tips uit deze aflevering: App: Blybahn: een Nederlandse social media app die vol in de maak is. Het is eerder een soort BeReal, in plaats van TikTok of Instagram. Je kunt iedere dag 1 keer posten en je hebt een beperkt aantal likes. Zo worden die hopelijk waardevoller. Doomscrollen kan ook niet, want je swipet maximaal 25 keer, en wordt dan vriendelijk verzocht iets te doen wat je echt leuk vindt. Film: 2000 Meters to Andriivka van Mstyslav Chernov, die eerder 20 Days in Mariupol maakte. Een indringende documentaire over een slag om een verwoest gehucht in oostelijk Oekraïne. Bodycams, mortiergranten en drones vliegen in het rond. In filmhuizen te zien maar spoedig ook in diverse Pathé bioscopen. Film: The Phoenician Scheme van Wes Anderson staat op SkyShowtime. Uiteraard weer gewoon ouderwetse Wes Anderson want dat is gelukkig alles dat hij maakt, maar toch weer anders dan zijn andere films. De shots zijn weer prachtig uitgedacht, de sets zijn geweldig en de attributen zijn het best van allemaal: ingepakte doosjes, ouderwetse bommen, rare dolken. Soms lijken de films van Anderson gewoon een smoesje om een soort school-toneelstuk met een gigantisch budget te maken. En een sterrencast natuurlijk: Benicio del Toro speelt de hoofdrol van een rijke zakenman die constant aanslagen overleeft. Mia Threapleton, de dochter van Kate Winslet, speelt in de film de dochter van die zakenman. Verder geweldige rollen voor Miceahl Sera, Benedict Cumberbatch, Bryan Cranston, Tom Hanks en natuurlijk Bill Murray.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nick revisits one of the most infamous nights in Saturday Night Live history, when actor Broderick Crawford hosted the show in March of 1977 and earned a reputation that has never really faded. Crawford was a legendary drinker, and while the broadcast somehow stayed on track, the real tension came from keeping tabs on a host who was drinking during the show and repeatedly trying to sneak off to a nearby bar. The stories behind the scenes are as wild as you'd expect, and the sketches tell their own strange story. Crawford appears in two bits, including a send-up of his own TV series Highway Patrol, while the rest of the episode delivers a snapshot of SNL in transition. You'll hear Bill Murray pleading with the audience to like him as the new guy after Chevy Chase's departure, along with Dan Aykroyd's Nixon impression and John Belushi bringing his samurai character into the mix. It's a look back at a night that somehow worked despite everything working against it, fueled by great performers, nervous energy, and a host who may still hold the title for the drunkest in SNL history. [Ep 159]

Tonight's show is dedicated to a deep dive into avalanches!  Tonight's Guest WeatherBrain is Dr. Ethan Greene from Colorado Avalanche Center.  He's also served as the Director of the NW Pacific Avalanche Center.  We will cover a basic understanding of avalanches, the geographic responsibility of the Colorado Avalanche Center, launch of forecasting avalanches and how they try to prevent avalanches during the off-season.  We will examine how they prepared in this work with the citizens of Colorado and who they collaborate with make this happen.  Dr. Greene joined CAIC as the Director in 2005.  He grew up in Boulder and learned to ski when he was three. He has worked with snow and avalanches since 1990. He worked as a ski patroller (Big Sky Ski Resort) and as a backcountry avalanche forecaster (Utah Avalanche Forecast Center). He studied meteorology (B.S., University of Utah), mountain weather and snow-drift formation (M.S., Colorado State University), and snow metamorphism and microstructure (Ph.D., CSU). In 2016, he received the Bernie Kingery Award and a Distinguished Alumnus Award from the University of Utah. Ethan has published a variety of articles and has been a member of national and international working groups on snow, weather, and avalanche topics.

We're cracking open 1991 like a fresh VHS rental and drafting the very best films the year had to offer. Rob, Dave, and Kurt will go head to head, assembling their dream rosters from a cinematic moment that still hums with electricity. This was the year of Terminator 2: Judgment Day rewriting the rules of the blockbuster, The Silence of the Lambs turning prestige drama into a pop culture event, and comedies lodging themselves permanently in the brain. What About Bob?, with Bill Murray at peak controlled chaos, sat right alongside Hot Shots!, proving 1991 could swing from psychological tension to perfectly timed lunacy without breaking stride. The draft unfolds across six categories, including comedy, blockbuster, big budget, and drama, forcing tough calls right out of the gate. Do you lock in T2 or Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves for sheer scale, grab Boyz n the Hood or Thelma & Louise for dramatic weight, or roll the dice on something like Point Break, where surf culture, skydiving, and philosophy collide? Strategy matters, nostalgia runs hot, and no one leaves without defending at least one hill they're willing to die on. By the end, we'll have three very different blueprints of 1991, built from quotable lines, seismic action, and films that still feel permanently etched into moviegoing memory Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/totally-80s-and-90s-recall/id1662282694    Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/11dk5TUoLUk4euD1Te1EYG?si=b37496eb6e784408    Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/1960c8f9-158d-43ac-89a6-d868ea1fe077/totally-80s-and-90s-recall    YouTube Podcasts: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLH9lGakNgCDZUkkHMUu88uXYMJu_33Rab&si=xo0EEVJRSwS68mWZ   Contact Us: Website: https://totally80s90srecall.podbean.com/  Email: 80s90srecall@gmail.com LinkTree:https://linktr.ee/80s90srecall  Voicemail #: (509) 426-4542
