Lux Radio Theatre || Alias Jimmy Valentine (Pat O'Brien, Madge Evans) || Conversation Piece (Lily Pons, Adolphe Menjou) || November 9, 1936; November 11, 1936 //01:11 ... Alias Jimmy Valentine -- A good story about a safe-cracker trying to go straight. Pat O'Brien sings "The Charlady's Ball." Guest Melvyn Purvis ("The Greatest G-Man In History") recalls a real safe cracker he met while tracking down John Dillinger. The script was used on "Lux" previously on September 30, 1935. + The story begins behind the grey walls of the state penitentiary. Valentine, played by Pat O'Brien, is called into the warden's office to be told he is to be freed the next day. He promises to go straight and on his release he desperately tries to find a job. Nobody wants to employ an ex jailbird and Valentine finds it hard work surviving. He is constantly being pursued by a cop called Doyle who framed him in the first place and is hell bent on seeing Valentine back behind bars. // 58:46 ... Conversation Piece -- A Frenchman tries to pass off a nightclub singer as nobility. + A flippant period piece of entertainment> The sort that operettas of that time were made of. It begins in a Paris café in 1809. A well dressed gentleman stands by an open window. He is approached by a pretty young lady. The conversation is all about forming a business partnership between the two of them. Their intention is of course to swindle some rich gentleman whom they have yet to find. // : : : : :You can donate to show your support for my podcast and the time I put into creating and posting every week.

Every clinic owner feels the financial squeeze at some point. The ones who get through it fastest are the ones who know exactly where to look - and what to do about it.In this episode of the Grow Your Clinic podcast, Ben Lynch and Jack O'Brien unpack the patterns they see play out every year around end of financial year - the cash flow crunches, the freak-out meetings with accountants, the decisions that snowball. Jack walks through a practical framework for taking back control of your clinic costs starting today, from cleaning up your Xero data, to the 10% outstanding accounts benchmark every clinic should know, to the real difference between a cost and an investment. They also tackle the harder conversations - underperforming team members, when to get back on the tools yourself, leave policy disasters, and the $22,000 rostering saving one clinic owner found hiding in plain sight.If you're feeling the squeeze right now, this episode puts the control back in your hands.In This Episode You'll Learn:

The Strange Case of Rob, Michele and Nick Reiner Episode 393 – It came as a shock when Rob and Michele Reiner were murdered late last year. Now, their son Nick, accused of the murders, is trying to fund his defense using money in a trust fund provided by his parents. More SML Planning Minute Podcast Episodes Transcript of Podcast Episode 393 Hello, this is Bill Rainaldi, with another edition of Security Mutual's SML Planning Minute. In today's episode: the strange case of Rob, Michele & Nick Reiner. World-famous movie director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele were both stabbed to death in their home in the early hours of December 14, 2025. Their son, Nick, was arrested soon afterward and charged with first-degree murder. No conviction has occurred, and Nick Reiner is entitled to the presumption of innocence while proceedings occur. Nick had gotten into a heated argument with his parents the previous evening, during a party at the home of Conan O’Brien, a well-known television talk show host.[1] Upon his arrest, Nick hired a well-known defense attorney named Alan Jackson, who had previously represented Kevin Spacey and Harvey Weinstein, but Jackson eventually withdrew from the case. Jackson at first refused to specifically state why he withdrew, but it is believed that money was a main issue.[2] Reiner is currently represented by Los Angeles County Public Defender Kimberly Greene, but according to a petition filed on his behalf, Jackson is willing to come back to assist with the case. Reiner would like to rehire Jackson, but he needs to find a way to pay him.[3] Nick apparently has no current source of income, but he does have a trust fund, set up by his parents, which is estimated to be at least $1.5 million. Through his attorney, Nick is petitioning the court for access to the trust fund to help finance his defense.[4] In other words, he would like to use some of the money his parents gave him to help defend himself against the murder charges. The terms of the trust are specific: half of the funds were supposed to be distributed when he reached age 30 in 2023, with the other half to be distributed when he turns 35. The 2023 distribution apparently did not happen.[5] As for the second payment, due in 2028, the outcome is in doubt. If convicted, Nick would likely be prohibited from collecting it due to California's “slayer statute.”[6] Most U.S. states have a slayer statute. This type of law first gained attention in 1989 when the Menendez brothers were accused of killing their parents in Beverly Hills, CA. The brothers were convicted of murder and prohibited from collecting their inheritance from their parents' estate. In California, the statute states that someone who murders someone else cannot inherit assets or gain any financial profit as a result. The burden of proof varies, with some states requiring a criminal conviction to void a disposition, and other states requiring only civil liability.[7] In Nick's case, if the statute is ruled applicable, it would result in Nick being treated as if he had predeceased his parents.[8] A big part of the issue is the unmade trust distribution from 2023, which was scheduled before the crime was committed. The trustee apparently denied the payment due to Nick's history of substance abuse, and his alleged inability to manage the trust assets on his own.[9] [10] For his part, Nick's attorney classifies this as a subjective opinion, which, in his view, is not a valid reason to hold back the money.[11] But things get even more complicated from there. Nick's side has also argued that the assets in question are not assets of his deceased parents' estate, but assets of a trust that had already been funded before the crimes occurred. The argument is that once the assets went into the trust, they were no longer part of Rob and Michele Reiner's estates. [12] Then there's the issue of legal competence. The counterargument offered by Nick's lawyer is that the trustee has the authorization to make payments to a fiduciary, so competency shouldn't be relevant.[13] Reiner asserted in a court filing that his two siblings, Jake and Romy Reiner, had agreed at first to pay legal fees to retain Alan Jackson, but later changed their minds.[14] Their role in any future trial or litigation remains to be seen. Of course, Nick Reiner is presumed innocent until proven guilty. For now, his trust attorneys claim that by blocking access to what they characterize as his own funds, the trustee is effectively punishing him before he is convicted.[15] There’s still a lot to be determined here.

In this episode of the Building PA Podcast, co-hosts Jon O'Brien and Chris Martin delve into a critical and timely topic: mental health in the construction industry. Joined by two esteemed guests from Minnesota, Tim Worke from AGC Minnesota and Cheri Quinn from Mercury Creative Group, the discussion centers around the innovative Minnesota Construction Mental Health Alliance.We kick off the episode by acknowledging the growing importance of mental health awareness within the construction sector, a topic that has gained traction across the country. Tim and Cheri introduce the concept of the Minnesota Construction Mental Health Alliance, emphasizing that this initiative is not just another program but a collaborative effort aimed at systemic change. The term "alliance" is pivotal, as it signifies a partnership among industry leaders to address mental health challenges from a leadership perspective, rather than merely providing resources or awareness.Tim elaborates on the unique three-legged stool approach of the alliance, which includes project owners, contractors, and labor representatives. This model seeks to engage project owners—often overlooked in discussions about mental health—by highlighting their role in creating project conditions that can lead to stress and mental health issues among workers. The conversation reveals a stark reality: individuals entering the construction workforce today are five times more likely to die by suicide than from job site accidents, underscoring the urgent need for cultural change within the industry.As the discussion unfolds, we explore the challenges of bringing diverse stakeholders to the table and fostering a shared vision. Tim and Cheri share insights on the initial hurdles of overcoming blame and finger-pointing among different parties, ultimately leading to a collective commitment to change. They highlight the importance of creating a culture where mental health is valued equally alongside physical safety, drawing parallels to the evolution of safety standards in the industry.The episode also touches on the practical steps being taken to fund and support this initiative, including the establishment of a 501c6 organization to manage resources and a recent grant that will help implement mental health training programs. Tim and Cheri express their hope that this model can serve as a blueprint for other states and organizations looking to address similar issues.As we wrap up, Jon and Chris reflect on the inspiring work being done in Minnesota and the potential for broader impact across the construction industry. They invite listeners to engage with Tim and Cheri for further discussion and collaboration, emphasizing the importance of collective action in tackling mental health challenges.

In this episode, Larry O'Brien speaks with Schneider Electric cybersecurity leaders Zakarya Drias and Nasir Mundh about the critical role of cybersecurity in enabling successful industrial digital transformation initiatives. The conversation explores Schneider Electric's approach to helping industrial organizations assess cyber risk, develop cybersecurity roadmaps, implement governance and security controls, and operate resilient OT environments through managed security services. Cybersecurity must be designed into digital transformation programs from the beginning rather than treated as an afterthought, particularly as cloud computing, IT/OT convergence, artificial intelligence, and connected operations expand the industrial attack surface. The discussion also addresses the challenges of protecting legacy industrial assets while modernizing operations, the importance of lifecycle management and compensating controls, and how AI can augment cybersecurity capabilities while still requiring human oversight and risk management.Would you like to be a guest on our growing podcast?Do you have an intriguing or thought provoking topic you'd like to discuss on our podcast?

#1010 What if the excuses you've been telling yourself are actually the exact roadmap to your breakthrough? In part 2 of this two-part conversation, Cliff Ravenscraft returns to hand over the practical playbook for identifying and dismantling limiting beliefs — starting with a journaling exercise he uses with his own coaching clients to expose the excuses hiding behind stalled goals. Cliff and Brien dig into why insight alone is addictive but useless without committed, calendared action, and why protecting your focus for even a couple of hours can feel like the hardest fight of your week. They also explore the real value of masterminds and accountability groups, how to start taking action even when fear is loud, and why the person you become on the way to your goals matters more than the goals themselves. If show notes to sit down and finally identify your own limiting beliefs! What we discuss with Cliff: + The journaling exercise to uncover limiting beliefs + Why self-diagnosis alone isn't enough + The "why haven't I done this yet" question + Insight addiction vs. real action + The momentum framework: outcome, clarity, calendared action + Protecting your focus for two hours + Treating failure as feedback + How to choose a mastermind group + Starting small and building momentum + Facing fear before taking action Thank you, Cliff!

Sex is sometimes a taboo topic. Not today! Intimacy expert Ita O’Brien tells us all about the new normal in the bedroom, and how she’s introduced it to Hollywood.
So after last week's episode defending Keiko O'Brien it's time for the truth™ to come out. We here at Trekkin Up North have known it for a long time and it's finally the right moment to share it with the rest of you all once again. Everything you think about Star Trek and the timeline is wrong. Almost every major event has been guided by one person, one sinister hand (or maybe two if it was slightly heavy). It's all been manipulated from behind the scenes by one shadowy individual: Keiko O'Brien. Where was she during Wolf 359? Why did she send Molly back in time? Why turn Picard into a child? Was she really possessed by a pah-wraith or just faking it? All of these questions and more will be said out loud and vaguely explained on this episode covering THE KEIKO CONSPIRACY.

The discussion also addresses the challenges of protecting legacy industrial assets while modernizing operations, the importance of lifecycle management and compensating controls, and how AI can augment cybersecurity capabilities while still requiring human oversight and risk management.Would you like to be a guest on our growing podcast?Do you have an intriguing or thought provoking topic you'd like to discuss on our podcast?

Frank Richter ist zurück im Studiocast. Diesmal aber nicht zum Arbeiten, wie er gleich zu Beginn klarstellt, sondern zum Plaudern. Und das lohnt sich: Der Comedian und Christoph Soltmannowski teilen einen Background im People-Journalismus, und wenn zwei Ehemalige aus dieser Branche zusammensitzen, kommen Geschichten auf den Tisch, die man so noch nie gehört hat.Frank erzählt von seiner Zeit bei «Glanz & Gloria»: von der Managerin, die eine Frage nach Beatrice Eglis Kindheitsinstrument strich, weil sie «zu privat» sei. Von der Anwaltskanzlei, die pro «Schweini» 10 000 Euro forderte, weil man Bastian Schweinsteiger gefälligst beim vollen Namen zu nennen habe. Und von der Erkenntnis, dass die grössten Stars meist die unkompliziertesten sind, während das Management drumherum die Probleme macht. Christoph hält dagegen: mit einem Bond-Girl, einer Aufpasserin hinter seinem Rücken und einem Weltstar, dessen Presseassistentin keine Fotos wollte. Wegen der grauen Haare.Dazwischen geht es um das Handwerk: Wie wird aus einem TV-Journalisten ein Comedian? Frank erzählt, wie ihn das Blick Live Quiz vor die Kamera brachte und warum er sich am Ende zwischen SRF und Blick entscheiden musste. Er erklärt, weshalb schwarzer Humor in der Schweiz mainstreamtauglich verpackt sein muss, warum das deutsche Publikum schneller lacht und wieso er auf dem Land manchmal bremsen muss, damit die Pointen überhaupt ankommen. Und er hat eine Beobachtung mitgebracht, die hängen bleibt: Gen-Z-Zuschauerinnen schauen bei derben Witzen erst nach links und rechts, ob die anderen lachen. Die Lizenz zum Lachen holt man sich heute offenbar beim Sitznachbarn ab.Natürlich ist auch sein aktuelles Programm «Love My Job» Thema. Der Titel ist ironisch gemeint, denn Frank kann den LinkedIn-Hashtag nicht ausstehen: Wer vom Betriebsausflug auf den Pilatus ein Gruppenfoto mit #lovemyjob postet, will laut ihm vor allem eines, nämlich dem Chef Honig ums Maul schmieren. Über Social Media hat er trotzdem seine Meinung geändert. Sein Fazit nach dem späten Einstieg: Am Anfang ist es cringe, später ist es Content. Und es füllt die Theater.Ausserdem: Wie Sacha Baron Cohen als Ali G an sein Trump-Interview kam, warum Donald Trump überhaupt in «Home Alone 2» mitspielt, was Macaulay Culkin heute macht, wie Joel von Mutzenbecher als Regisseur mit Frank 32 Figuren samt eigener Stimme und Körperhaltung erarbeitet hat und weshalb Frank als kokainsüchtiger HR-Chef in einem Kurzfilm einen Ritterschlag erhielt.Eine Stunde über Comedy, Promis und die Frage, wie viel Inszenierung in der Spontaneität steckt.

Most leaders spot rudeness or a toxic workplace and rush to shut the behavior down. But incivility is often a symptom of stress, burnout, and something deeper nobody names.Dr. Mira Brancu sat down as a guest on Dr. John O'Brien's show, Civility Matters, and this is the full conversation. They get into why punishing rude behavior usually backfires, and how to tell the difference between the symptom you can see and the root cause you cannot. Mira breaks down organizational grief, the quiet loss people carry after layoffs and reorgs that shows up as disengagement, quiet quitting, and cynicism instead of tears.You will also hear her simple two by two office politics matrix that reveals whether your influence at work has turned self-serving, whether ambition and civility can actually coexist, and real advice for anyone stuck in a toxic job right now. The point they both keep coming back to is this: Leaders have to deal with their own stress first, because you cannot steady anyone else while you are running on empty.Subscribe for weekly conversations on leadership, burnout, and workplace mental health.Connect with Dr. John O'Brien : www.activatesuccess.orgLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnmobrienphd/Host: Civility Matters Podcast: https://civilitymatters.buzzsprout.comRudeness Rehab Book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1957651911?lv=shuf&channelId=500&plpRedirect=mhFallback YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RudenessRehab Subscribe to my free newsletter at: mailchi.mp/2079c04f4d44/subscribeWork with me one-on-one: calendly.com/mira-brancu/30-minute-initial-consultationConnect with me on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/MiraBrancuLearn more about my services: www.gotowerscope.comGet practical workplace politics tips from my books: gotowerscope.com/booksGet my free Strategic Clarity and Leadership Resilience assessment: https://mailchi.mp/e1ebf8505764/slr-assessment Get my Free Burnout Root Cause Assessment: https://mailchi.mp/29d7d18fae4a/burnout-root-cause-assessmentGet my Workplace Grief Guide: https://mailchi.mp/46873b910380/workplace-grief-field-guide Find other free resources to support your leadership growth: https://gotowerscope.com/other-free-stuff Join the next Towerscope leadership workshop or fellowship: https://gotowerscope.com/fellowship

In this college football podcast episode, we finish our three-part preview of the ACC by turning our attention to the defending conference champions and several of the league’s most difficult teams to project. Can Duke keep finding ways to win after another major quarterback change? Does Clemson have a real plan for getting back into the College Football Playoff conversation? And can Louisville once again rebuild its offense around a new transfer quarterback without losing ground near the top of the conference? We also dig into James Franklin’s full-scale reboot at Virginia Tech, Ty’s increasingly dangerous belief in NC State, and a pivotal season for Brent Key at Georgia Tech. With new quarterbacks, rebuilt offensive lines, coordinator changes and transfer portal additions everywhere, how much confidence should we place in recognizable coaches and favorable schedules? Plus, we examine why Cal could become one of the most entertaining teams in college football, whether Syracuse can recover with Steve Angeli back under center, and what Bill O’Brien can realistically build at Boston College. Elsewhere, Dan experiments with performance-enhancing inhalers, Ty launches Bros for Brohm, the Calgorithm gains strength, and we issue another annual warning about hiring Ted Roof.

Arj Barker has been a fixture on the local comedy scene for decades, headlining our comedy festivals and turning up on shows including Thank God You’re Here and Spicks and Specks. But the San Francisco-born stand-up began telling jokes at open mic nights in 1989, before appearances on American late night TV for Conan O’Brien, Jay Leno, and David Letterman - not to mention a memorable turn on the hit sitcom Flight of the Conchords. Barker joins us to talk about consciousness, comedy, and the furore that erupted two years ago after he asked a breastfeeding mother and baby to leave his show. This episode is hosted by Good Weekend deputy editor Konrad Marshall. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of the Building PA Podcast, co-hosts Chris Martin and Jon O'Brien welcome Ben Connors, the president of the General Building Contractors Association (GBCA), to discuss the current trends and challenges in the construction industry, particularly in the Philadelphia market.We kick off the episode with a warm introduction, highlighting the exciting atmosphere in Philadelphia as the city prepares for the World Cup and celebrates its 250th anniversary of democracy. Ben shares his insights on how these events are energizing the local economy and influencing construction trends.Diving into the construction landscape, Ben notes that the market is experiencing a downtrend, marking the third consecutive year of decreased activity. He explains that historical patterns suggest a potential bottoming out by 2026, with hopes for a rebound in 2027-2028. A significant focus of the conversation is on the rising demand for data centers in the region, which are driving construction activity, particularly in areas surrounding Philadelphia. Ben discusses the challenges posed by the overwhelming demand for power to support these data centers, which has doubled in recent years.As we explore the current projects and market trends, Ben highlights the shift away from commercial office space construction, largely due to the rise of remote work. He emphasizes the importance of specialized work in the industry, noting that contractors with expertise in this area are finding more opportunities. Exciting developments on the horizon include a new arena for the Philadelphia 76ers, a major investment from a Korean shipbuilder at the Navy Yard, and the transformation of the old Philadelphia gas refinery into the Bellwether District, an industrial park.We also discuss the challenges facing GBCA members, including increased competition and thin profit margins in a down market. Ben points out the ongoing struggle against commoditization in construction, particularly in the residential sector, where out-of-town developers are cutting costs.The conversation shifts to technology and the impact of AI on the construction industry. Ben shares how GBCA is embracing AI to enhance member engagement and improve safety outcomes. He highlights the growing interest in AI applications, from estimating to safety chatbots, and the potential for these technologies to revolutionize the industry.As we wrap up the episode, Ben provides insights into ongoing projects in healthcare and education, including the expansion of Children's Hospital and the conversion of the historic Wanamaker building into mixed-use space. He emphasizes the importance of safety in construction and the value of union contractors in delivering high-quality work.This episode is packed with valuable information and insights into the evolving construction landscape in Philadelphia. We thank Ben for joining us and look forward to having him back in the future to continue the conversation.

Most success stories start with an unimaginable backstory. Larry Bird’s journey to NBA immortality involved one of the most hardscrabble roads to success. In the fall of 1974, Bird-one of the greatest players ever to pick up a basketball-was lost and in danger of slipping away. This self-proclaimed ‘hick from French Link’ was recruited to play for Bobby Knight’s vaunted Indiana University Hoosiers’ team, but his discomfort with the fit at the University saw Bird never play a minute for the team. It all could have ended right there, but for the determination of Bob King and Bill Hodges to bring him to Indiana State University in Terre Haute, a school whose basketball team couldn’t even fill its arena. I’m old enough to recall the March 1979 NCAA Tournament finals game that pitted Larry Bird against Magic Johnson. The rest of the story involved these two men, very different in so many ways, bringing the NBA back from a perilous moment when the league was at risk of never achieving comparability with football and baseball. Keith O’Brien, author of “Heartland: A Forgotten Place, An Impossible Dream, and the Miracle of Larry Bird,” is a great storyteller and he joined us recently for a virtual book talk for my town’s library, which is now available as a podcast.
