The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 1 (3.12) Did you survive today’s excessive heat in SoCal? Tim Conway Jr is a firm believer that cash is king — carry it on your person, Bub! And for God’s sake, put some in your earthquake kit! Unfortunately, last night the ATM stole Tim’s card! And it became a whole kerfuffle. It's the big weekend for the Oscar awards happening in Hollywood on Sunday. Who are the favorites? Last December, the night before Nick Reiner allegedly stabbed to death his parents Rob and Michele Reiner, they were attending Conan O’Brien’s festive party.

#814 What if the fastest path to $10,000 a month isn't a fancy startup idea — but a simple service business and the courage to knock on doors?

1. The State of the Iran Conflict The U.S. is in week two of a war with Iran, claiming major military success Iran’s missile and drone capabilities have been nearly eliminated. Iran’s navy has been almost entirely destroyed. The U.S. is using overwhelming force, rapid strikes, and no gradual escalation. 2. U.S. Objectives (as framed in the discussion) The stated goals of “Operation Epic Fury”: Destroy Iran's missile stockpiles, launchers, and weapons manufacturing. Destroy Iran’s navy. Permanently prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. 3. Justification for War Iran has been at war with the U.S. for 47 years, funding terrorism (Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis). Iran attempted to assassinate former President Trump and other U.S. officials (Bolton, O’Brien, etc.). This war is described as “America-first,” not about Israel, and responds to direct threats against Americans. 4. Political Framing & Criticism of Opponents Democrats are: Confused in their messaging. Trying to politicize gas prices. Accusing Trump of being manipulated by Israel. Media personalities (notably Tucker Carlson) are heavily criticized for: Alleged pro‑Islamist, anti‑Israel, anti‑American rhetoric. Being amplified by foreign adversaries (Iran, Russia, Muslim Brotherhood). 5. Foreign Influence Qatar is: Funding U.S. universities with $6.6 billion. Supporting Hamas. Influencing American academic and political spheres. 6. Economic Effects Gas prices have risen during the conflict. The increase is temporary. Prices are still much lower than under Biden. If Iran’s regime collapses, oil prices may drop significantly. 7. Vision of the Endgame The conflict will be short, decisive, and not like Iraq or Afghanistan. Expectations: No long-term occupation. No large-scale troop deployment. Focused destruction of hostile infrastructure. Confidence that the Iranian regime might collapse, leading to a more stable region without prolonged war.

The legal drama between Leah McSweeney and Bravo just took a very public turn after a federal judge ruled her lawsuit against Andy Cohen and the network will play out in open court—not behind closed doors in arbitration. Meanwhile, Jeopardy! delivered a sharp pop-culture jab at Timothée Chalamet with a savage clue referencing his much-mocked “ballet and opera” comments. And Conan O’Brien is getting candid about the state of television, revealing that a viral moment on Hot Ones—not anything on network TV—was when he realized the late-night era might truly be over.

Politics, near fistfights, courtroom drama, and Minnesota controversy — this episode has everything.We start with the political shake-up in Washington after Kristi Noem was removed as Secretary of Homeland Security and President Donald Trump tapped Markwayne Mullin as the replacement. Mullin says he's ready for the job… but many people remember the time he almost turned a Senate hearing into an MMA match with Teamsters president Sean O'Brien. Yes, a Senate hearing almost turned into a pay-per-view event.Then we dive into powerful testimony from the wife of fallen Cincinnati police officer Larry Henderson, who spoke to the State of Ohio about the disturbing trend of crowdfunding for accused cop killers and what it means for victims' families.Meanwhile in Minnesota, questions keep swirling around fraud investigations and why Governor Tim Walz hasn't said more about it. Is it politics, policy, or just another example of government silence when people want answers?From Washington shakeups to courtroom emotion and political accountability, this episode is packed with hot takes, sarcasm, and the kind of conversations you won't hear on the evening news.Grab a drink, buckle up, and join the chaos.#murphyengraving #mullin #noem Follow us on: Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Apple, Spotify!!

In this episode, Maria Hinojosa interviews producers, Soledad O’Brien and Rose Arce about their Oscar nominated documentary, The Devil Is Busy, which follows a day in the life of this abortion clinic after the fall of Roe.

#806 What if video games aren't just entertainment — but the foundation for the next generation's education, careers, and even professional sports? In Part 1 of this two-part episode, host Brien Gearin sits down with Titus Walker, founder and CEO of the Ultimate Endgamers League (UEL), to explore how gaming is evolving into a massive global industry and a powerful platform for skill development.

Artificial intelligence continues to advance, but the debate over its economic consequences takes place mostly in two separate spheres: amongst the technologists developing the technology and the workers whose jobs may be transformed by it. As technology gets deployed, the question is no longer whether it will reshape the labor market, but who will benefit and who will bear the costs.American Compass co-hosted a recent Labor + AI Summit in Washington, D.C., where Oren moderated a conversation between Alex Karp, CEO of Palantir, and Sean O'Brien, General President of the International Brotherhood of the Teamsters. They discuss how AI may shift labor demand away from white-collar professions, the risks of deepening economic inequality if workers are excluded from the conversation, and why labor must have a “seat at the table” as new technologies are implemented. They also explore the role of unions, the pressures globalization and immigration have placed on wages, and what it would take to ensure that AI strengthens rather than destabilizes the American middle class.

In this episode, we are joined by Brien Lundin, Editor of the Gold Newsletter and host of the prestigious New Orleans Investment Conference. Brien provides an insider's recap of the recent PDAC and MIF conferences in Toronto, sharing why he believes the resource sector is currently on the verge of a historic re-rating. Key Discussion Points: Market Sentiment and PDAC Recap: Brien discusses the overwhelming enthusiasm at recent industry conferences, noting that for the first time in years, the vast majority of companies are presenting fundamentally strong investment arguments. The Power of Cut-Off Grades: As gold prices reach new heights, companies are recalculating their resources. Brian explains how dropping a cut-off grade can instantly increase a project's defined ounces by 50% to 100%, significantly boosting the bottom line. Production vs. Exploration Dynamics: While majors are maximizing production to capture high margins, Brien highlights why the exploration end of the market remains the most exciting area for triple-digit returns. Strategic Stock Picks: Brien shares his current outlook on specific companies, including Prospector Metals (PPP.V) and Cassiar Gold (GLDC.V), as well as emerging opportunities in critical metals like tungsten through Spartan Metals (SPAT.CN). A Dual Bull Market: We explore the rare occurrence of a simultaneous secular bull market in both monetary metals (gold and silver) and base metals (copper), driven by intense supply constraints and high demand from the tech sector.

Jim welcomes award-winning journalist and New York Times best-selling author Keith O'Brien to discuss his new book, “Heartland: A Forgotten Place, an Impossible Dream, and the Miracle of Larry Bird." First, Keith and Jim discuss Larry Bird's unsung supporting cast on the 1979 Indiana State team (14:42). Next, they cover the "what if" scenario of Larry Bird playing all four seasons of his college career for Bobby Knight at Indiana University, before deciding who the GOAT of Indiana basketball is between John Wooden, Larry Bird, and Oscar Robertson (19:06). Finally, they debate whether we will ever see another Larry Bird again in college basketball (40:06).
Republican NH01 primary candidate Hollie Noveletsky calls it a 'slap in the face' to Granite Staters and the country when Rep. Chris Pappas refused to stand and support the statement that the first duty of government is to protect American citizens over illegal aliens.Noveletsky also doubled down on her support for tariff and trade policy that she says protects American workers, and she argues that manufacturing can't come back to New England as long as blue-state energy policies keep electricity costs high.Plus: Comms expert Scott Spradling and former GOP Speaker of the House Bill O'Brien join the "Rank Punditry" panel to talk about the impact of the ICE facility's demise on Democratic hopes to defeat Gov. Kelly Ayotte, and why the NH DOJ's legal challenge to the Claremont school funding decisions is actually the biggest news in New Hampshire.Sponsored by Perfect Smiles of Nashua.Want to support NHJournal?

#794 Most entrepreneurs don't have a revenue problem — they have a “where did the money go?” problem. In Part 1 of this two-part conversation, host Brien Gearin sits down with Bobby Hoyt — founder of Stellar Brands, CEO of The Bottom Line, and creator behind Millennial Money Man — to unpack why “knowing your numbers” is non-negotiable if you want to build a business that actually pays you. Bobby shares his journey from high school band director to entrepreneur, how a mentor helped him pay off student loans and take the leap, and the hard lessons that come from running your business on “napkin math.” Together, Brien and Bobby dig into why most entrepreneurs get blindsided at tax time, what it really means to have a proactive tax strategy, and how systems like Profit First (and the right bookkeeping/CPA team) can bring clarity, stability, and confidence to your cash flow — so you can grow without hitting the financial “electric fence!” What we discuss with Bobby: + Why entrepreneurs must know their numbers + The danger of “napkin math” finances + Bobby's journey from teacher to CEO + How mentors accelerate business growth + Why revenue doesn't equal personal income + The importance of proactive tax strategy + Common CPA and bookkeeping mistakes + How Profit First stabilizes cash flow + Paying yourself consistently as an owner + Building financial systems that scale with growth Thank you, Bobby!

#791 What if the key to finding your perfect business idea isn't in the market — but within yourself? In this first installment of a two-part conversation, host Brien Gearin sits down with Jason VanDevere, founder of Goal Crazy and author of Dream Driven, to explore how entrepreneurs can discover the right business idea and build a path toward meaningful success.
