One of the most iconic voices in sport, indeed one of the most iconic voices in the history of radio, Henry Blofeld shares his reflections on a career behind the mic during which he bore witness to some of the greatest feats in cricketing history. Now 85 and retired from the BBC's Test Match Special commentary team, he recalls the day the legendary John Arlott described the game's first streaker at Lord's (complete with impressions of Arlott and Brian Johnston), remembers some of his favourite players and their top innings, gives his verdict on Ben Stokes and Bazball, and makes his predictions for England's series against India and this winter's Ashes in Australia. Congratulating the multi-racial South African side recently crowned Test champions, Blowers extols the unrivalled virtues of the longest form of the game, and calls for matches to remain five day affairs. With his idiosyncratic charm and good humour, the Old Etonian, whose surname was the inspiration behind one of Ian Fleming's most notorious Bond villains, and who once almost played cricket for England himself by mistake, shares stories and offers his analysis on the sport he loves.

In this fast-paced episode of The 70s Vs The 80s, we drop the puck (and the puck-shaped paddles) on two iconic arcade games: Bubble Hockey and Air Hockey. We ask the experts: where do these legendary tables rank in the all-time pantheon of games? You might think of them as glorified rec room relics—but wait until you hear how high one of them scores on the leaderboard of greatness. Spoiler: one has a cult following you didn't even know existed.Then in our People Who Died segment, we remember a football player who did almost everything right—until he made perhaps the most infamous mistake in NFL history. A play that haunts highlight reels and defined a career in one fateful moment.Next up, we pay tribute to a rock star who blurred every line and broke every rule—funky, fearless, and decades ahead of his time. And we close with a salute to a songwriter so legendary that even your favorite band probably covered him… whether they admit it or not.Puck drops now.

Leaf Blowers & Blood - Paul Gallagher's Strong Karen Read Trial Testimony Retired Canton Police Lt. Paul Gallagher stepped up to the stand on May 5, 2025, bringing his years of experience to bolster the prosecution's case against Karen Read. His testimony focused on his role at the crime scene where John O'Keefe was found dead, specifically how he used a leaf blower to clear snow and preserve evidence like blood and a broken cocktail glass. This was a key moment, as the prosecution argues these items—found_near O'Keefe's body—tie directly to Read's SUV and her alleged drunken hit-and-run. Gallagher's matter-of-fact delivery gave the jury a clear picture of a meticulous, if unconventional, effort to secure the scene, reinforcing the idea that the evidence points to Read's guilt. Gallagher's testimony was a headache for the defense because it grounded the prosecution's physical evidence in a professional's actions. He likely explained how the snow complicated things, but his use of a leaf blower was a calculated move to uncover critical clues without contaminating them.    Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this episode, Keith explored the crucial skill of discernment in business decisions. He shared insights from his experiences in the landscaping industry, emphasizing that saying no can be more beneficial than saying yes to everything. He discussed the importance of focusing on core services, understanding the risks of overextending, and utilizing smart subcontracting. Success lies in mastering what you do best and making decisions that align with your expertise and capacity. When you narrow down what you offer, you're not only cutting out stress but also boosting your profits and efficiency. It's about breaking free from those nagging fears and old stories in your head and realizing you don't have to do it all to succeed. And hey, there's more! Keith's got some exciting updates on what's brewing with the Untrapped Podcast and other projects that are in the pipeline.

Use tools like Google to research and map out income per zip code. Invest Smart in Equipment: Start with affordable, used equipment from places like Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist. As your business grows, reinvest in new, reliable equipment. Remember, "buy nice or buy twice." Pricing and Profitability: Ensure proper pricing strategies by charging enough to cover costs and desired profit margins. Aim for at least a 50% gross profit margin by multiplying your cost estimates by two.    Resources and Websites:  Here's the video and story about our Window Cleaning brother in the UK I was talking about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7F_pxfE8A4k Tree Work Electric hazard awareness: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7QgzAauFCQ  Tree Work Electric hazard awareness:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILGSn9Rx8f8&t=0s The Time William and I climbed 115ft. in a tree: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVmT_Nhohjk&t=0s Tree Work and Arborist Videos playlist:   https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLub0_q7i2mDRR3pk7GpX3k8JhZiE2IvYm

Walz Called for Limits on Free Speech + NJ's State-Wide Ban On Gas Powered Leaf Blowers?

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (08/07/2024): 3:05pm- On Tuesday night, Kamala Harris introduced her Vice Presidential pick—Minnesota Governor Tim Walz—while appearing at a campaign event at the Liacouras Center in Philadelphia, PA. Will Walz provide any sort of electoral advantage in the 2024 presidential race? Examining Walz's 2022 gubernatorial race, NBC election analyst Steve Kornacki concludes that Walz relied heavily on traditional Democrat voters—and didn't have much luck appealing to rural voters or moderates. Videos of Walz making outlandish, far-left statements are now circulating throughout social media. In one clip, Walz explains that socialism is synonymous with neighborliness. While speaking at the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party Convention in 2018, Walz told attendees that his pro-abortion stance was so radical that even former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) suggested he should moderate his position. In perhaps the most damaging audio, Walz can be heard claiming “there is no guarantee to free speech” if the government determines it is “misinformation" or “hate speech.”   3:15pm- Director of Public Prosecutions of England and Wales Stephen Parkinson explained that the United Kingdom will criminally punish citizens that repost messages that the government deems “hateful.” He also explained that he will appropriate “dedicated police officers” to monitor social media. With Democrat Vice Presidential nominee Tim Walz having stated that the First Amendment shouldn't extend to speech the government considers “misinformation” or “hate speech,” could similar laws restricting speech be part of the Harris-Walz campaign's platform? 3:20pm- JD Vance Accuses Tim Walz of Lying About Military Service: Caitlin Doornbos and Josh Christenson of The New York Post write, “veterans have accused Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz of “embellishing” his military career and abandoning his National Guard battalion, highlighting that the now-vice presidential pick for the Democrats never served in combat and retired from service ahead of his unit's 2005 deployment to Iraq. In a letter posted to Facebook in 2018 as he first ran for governor, retired Command Sergeants Major Thomas Behrends and Paul Herr said Walz retired from his 24-year tenure in the National Guard after learning that his battalion would be deployed to Iraq, despite allegedly assuring his fellow troops he would join them.” You can read the full article here: https://nypost.com/2024/08/06/us-news/tim-walz-embellished-military-career-for-years-dropped-from-national-guard-unit-ahead-of-iraq-deployment/ 3:35pm- On his way to a campaign event in Wisconsin (a state where Kamala Harris is also actively campaigning), JD Vance walked up to Air Force 2 on the tarmac to speak with reports—noting that he was willing to answer their questions while Harris continues to avoid them. 3:40pm- While appearing on Fox News, Donald Trump called the Kamala Harris-Tim Walz ticket the “most radical” in U.S. history. 4:05pm- Scott Presler—Executive Director and Founder of Early Vote Action—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his tireless fight to make sure Pennsylvania goes “red” in November. Pressler also reacts to Tim Walz becoming the Democrat Party's Vice Presidential nominee: “Kamala Harris just chose the most regressive, far left…candidate.” You can learn more about Early Vote Action here: https://earlyvoteaction.com/about/ 4:25pm- Cancel Culture Fail: Zach Jewell of The Daily Wire writes, “Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker signed a 4-year $26 million contract extension on Monday, making him the highest-paid kicker in the NFL on a per-year basis…The three-time Super Bowl-winning kicker sparked outrage after telling the graduating class that his success was all because ‘a girl I met in band class back in middle school would convert to the faith, become my wife, and embrace one of the most important titles of all: homemaker.' During the address, Butker also slammed Pride Month and President Joe Biden's pro-abortion policies.” You can read the full article here: https://www.dailywire.com/news/cancel-culture-fail-harrison-butker-signs-deal-making-him-highest-paid-kicker-in-nfl 4:40pm- Reacting to the Harris-Walz rally in Philadelphia, MSNBC host Joy Reid accused Donald Trump of being a “weird guy that's in Mar-a-Lago”—and claiming he wants to “turn the whole country into Mississippi.” 4:45pm- Could Rich ever forgive Ben Affleck for ruining Batman? 4:50pm- While appearing on Fox News, Donald Trump called out Kamala Harris for her past pledge to ban fracking. She now claims she isn't against fracking, but should anyone believe her? 5:00pm- JD Vance Accuses Tim Walz of Lying About Military Service: Caitlin Doornbos and Josh Christenson of The New York Post write, “veterans have accused Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz of “embellishing” his military career and abandoning his National Guard battalion, highlighting that the now-vice presidential pick for the Democrats never served in combat and retired from service ahead of his unit's 2005 deployment to Iraq.

Johnson meticulously details Tim Walz's many failures while serving as governor of Minnesota. Johnson writes: “Tim Walz has such a bad record as Minnesota's governor that I was astonished when he landed on Vice President Kamala Harris's vice-presidential shortlist. As Minnesota's Center of the American Experiment has documented, under Mr. Walz Minnesota has become a high-crime state. Student achievement has tumbled as spending on schools has skyrocketed. Per capita gross domestic product has fallen below the national average. Minnesotans have joined residents of New York, California and Illinois in fleeing their home state.” You can read the full editorial here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/a-minnesotan-sizes-up-tim-walz-progressive-vice-president-crime-education-covid-e4e757ec?mod=opinion_lead_pos5 5:20pm- Will Tim Walz's presence on the ticket provide any sort of electoral advantage to Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential race? Examining Walz's 2022 gubernatorial race, NBC election analyst Steve Kornacki concludes that Walz relied heavily on traditional Democrat voters—and didn't have much luck appealing to rural voters or moderates. 5:45pm- NBC News Washington Correspondent Yamiche Aclindor reports that the Harris-Walz campaign is “not engaging on whether or not [Tim Walz] was falsifying his military record.” 5:50pm- While speaking with Robert Costa of CBS News, President Joe Biden said he is not confident there will be a peaceful transfer of power in January 2025 if Donald Trump wins the 2024 presidential election. 6:05pm- Dr. EJ Antoni—Research Fellow in The Heritage Foundation's Grover M. Hermann Center for the Federal Budget—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the recent stock market slump. On Monday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell over 1,000 points. Meanwhile, Japan's Nikkei plunged 12% —the largest drop since the Black Monday crash in 1987. Rich wonders if the global market is reacting to the wide-spread perception that Kamala Harris could win the 2024 presidential race? 6:25pm- According to reports, New Jersey officials are actively seeking to ban gas powered leaf blowers state-wide—with the ambition of enacting the new law before trees shed their leaves this fall. 6:35pm- A Philadelphia resident named Dave bought a billboard to help him find a date—emphasizing his ability to cook and his cat named Peach. According to Dave, he has already received thousands of direct messages on Instagram. 6:45pm- David Gelman—Criminal Defense Attorney & Surrogate for Donald Trump's Legal Team—joins The Rich Zeoli Show.
