Adam's Paternity Leave continues, so why not get down with the second of two wildly problematic Jeremy Irons episodes? Patreon payments are frozen for the time being. A few resourceful new Munchies have figured out a work-around where you can join as a free member and upgrade from there to a paid account which charges you for one month and unlocks the back catalog behind the respective tier of the paywall. After that first payment, you won't be charged again until we're dropping new content (which we'll warn everyone is coming), so if you want more of this it can be had, along with access to the fully uncut episodes from 100 to present and Movie Club episodes.Sometimes life gives you lemons, and sometimes—if you happen to be on Season 12 of SVU—life gives you three days worth of legendary caulkhead, Jeremy Irons. It is a testament to the bizarre universe this often beautifully odd show inhabits that they chose to use that time to have him unpack the psychological trauma borne by two sisters who were repeatedly spoon-raped by their own mother. Yeah, this episode goes there, then turns around, and goes back for more. We, of course, use this absolutely depraved premise as a springboard into discussions of Josh's car troubles, Adam's isolation, the poor woman's Glenn Close, the rich man's Bryan Brown, and, obviously, our plans to ride out armageddon. As always, rate and review the podcast, and keep on munching.Music:Divorcio Suave - "Munchy Business"Thanks to our gracious Munchies on Patreon: Jeremy S, Jaclyn O, Amy Z, Diana R, Tony B, Barry W, Drew D, Nicky R, Stuart, Jacqi B, Natalie T, Robyn S, Christine L, Amy A, Sean M, Jay S, Briley O, Asteria K, Suzanne B, Tim Y, John P, John W, Elia S, Rebecca B, Lily, Sarah L, Melsa A, Alyssa C, Johnathon M, Tiffany C, Brian B, Kate K, Whitney C, Alex, Jannicke HS, Roni C, Nourhane B, Erin M, Florina C - y'all are the best!Be a Munchie, too!

Yet for many leaders, the awareness they most need—the way others actually experience their leadership—remains hidden just beyond their view.

In this insightful and practical discussion, we'll explore: Why feedback is one of the rarest and most valuable gifts a leader can receive The critical role coaches play in helping leaders interpret and apply 360° feedback Common pitfalls to avoid when using a 360° assessment How leadership blind spots can quietly derail influence—and how to uncover them Why trust is the true currency of leadership today, and how 360°s can strengthen it How often leaders should engage in a 360° feedback process for sustained growth Bryan also shares a glimpse into a newly developed, Christ-centered 360° tool designed to help leaders grow in emotional intelligence, relational trust, and lasting impact. If you coach leaders at any level—or desire to—you'll find practical insights, powerful reminders, and tangible tools you can begin applying right away.

Den 15. januar 2021 satte vi os ned ved hver vores mikrofon og trykkede record. Det var under den helt store Coronanedlukning, så vi sad ikke engang i samme lokale, men resultatet blev pilotafsnittet af Noget Ved Musikken. Nu skriver vi maj 2025, og vi er nået til afsnit 200! Det er jo nærmest ubegribeligt, at vi har lavet så mange afsnit, og derfor har vi da også tænkt os at fejre det på behørig vis - nemlig ved at lave endnu en af vores 80'er Remix specials. Denne gang gør vi det ved hjælp af en lille filmleg vi altid hyggede os med i seminariedagene, Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. Det gælder om at linke forskellige filmfolk og så til sidst nå til Kevin Bacon, men i denne her udgave er legen blevet omdøbt til 20 Degrees of Andy Tennant. Vi prøver nemlig at linke Fleetwood Mac til Andy Tennant, og vi har ”kun” 20 sange til at løse den opgave. Det giver os så til gengæld masser af fantastiske 80'er remix fra store kunstnere som f.eks. Neneh Cherry, Depeche Mode, Erasure, TV-2, Lis Sørensen, Yazoo, Lisa Stansfield og Huey Lewis & The News. Derudover snakker vi om en legendarisk manager som selv fik gang i en musikkarriere i 1983, vi breaker firkantede nyheder med 40 års forsinkelse, Andy praler af sine breakdanceevner sammen med Lars Ranthe, vi mindes den gamle 80'er actionklassiker F/X med Bryan Brown i hovedrollen, vi undrer os over, hvem der bliver ved med at ringe til Dave Gahan mens han kører bil, vi afslører hvilken kendt dansk radiovært der i 1989 var med til at remixe en vaskeægte rapdronning, og så er det endnu engang blevet tid til at få en skarp 80'er-inspireret klipning af vores yndlingsfrisør, salon Coldcut. Til sidst i afsnittet kan I i øvrigt få en lille auditiv smagsprøve på det nye eksklusive afsnit, specielt til vores støtter på 10'er. Vi har lavet en fortsættelse til et afsnit vi udgav i 2022, og det betyder, at vi endelig tager fat i den danske opsamling, Magi i Luften 2. Hvis I også er interesserede i at støtte os på 10'er, kan I læse mere her: https://10er.com/nogetvedmusikken Playliste: Fleetwood Mac – Big love (Extended Remix) Adam Ant – Puss ‘n boots (Extended Version) The World's Famous Supreme Team – Hey DJ (Original 12” Mix) Jimmy Sommerville – Run from love (Extended) Hazell Dean – Whatever I do (Wherever I go) (12” Mix) Morgan/McVey – Looking good diving (Extended Version) Neneh Cherry – Manchild (Old School Mix) Soul II Soul feat.

When your favorite barista, your child's teacher, and the firefighter who protects your home can no longer afford to live in your community - what kind of place will Greenville County become? Bryan Brown and Amber Stewart from Greenville Housing Fund reveal the surprising reality that 80% of our workforce earns below the area's median income, making housing increasingly out of reach. They dismantle common misconceptions about "affordable housing" while explaining how innovative tax incentives and thoughtful density planning are already transforming neighborhoods. Beyond policy talk, this conversation illuminates how our housing ecosystem connects everyone from service workers to retirees on fixed incomes, and why the places we call home determine the community we share. Listen to understand how your neighborhood's character, your favorite local businesses, and Greenville's future are all shaped by the housing decisions we make today.

In the late 1980s, few movies encapsulated the aspirational vibe of the era quite like Cocktail. Released in 1988, this romantic drama, directed by Roger Donaldson and starring a magnetic Tom Cruise, is a cocktail of ambition, love, and the search for identity. For this week's episode of Born to Watch, we're deep-diving into this cult classic. In this Cocktail (1988) Movie Review, we'll explore the film's signature style, performances, and its lasting impact on pop culture.The Story of Brian FlanaganCocktail follows Brian Flanagan (Tom Cruise), a charming and ambitious young man fresh out of the military who dreams of making it big in the corporate world. After facing rejection from high-powered job opportunities in New York City, Brian turns to bartending as a temporary gig, only to discover a talent for mixing drinks and working a crowd. Under the tutelage of seasoned bartender Doug Coughlin (played by Bryan Brown), Brian learns the art of flair bartending—transforming cocktail-making into a theatrical performance.But as Brian rises through the ranks of nightlife stardom, his ambitions clash with reality, leading to heartbreak, betrayal, and, ultimately, self-discovery. From the high-energy Manhattan bar scene to the tranquil beaches of Jamaica, the movie's settings are as diverse as its themes.Tom Cruise: A Star Shining BrightBy 1988, Tom Cruise was already a household name, thanks to hits like Top Gun and Risky Business. In Cocktail, Cruise once again exudes the charm and energy that made him a box-office darling. His portrayal of Brian Flanagan is a perfect mix of confidence, vulnerability, and ambition, capturing the complexities of a man torn between his lofty dreams and the harsh realities of life.Cruise's ability to sell even the most over-the-top scenes—like flipping bottles mid-air to a raucous crowd—speaks to his charisma and star power. It's no surprise that the role cemented him as one of Hollywood's most bankable leading men.The Mentor and the LessonsBryan Brown delivers a standout performance as Doug Coughlin, Brian's cynical mentor. Doug's “Coughlin's Laws”—a mix of humorous and hard-earned wisdom—serve as Brian's guiding (and sometimes misleading) principles. The dynamic between Cruise and Brown is electric, capturing the highs and lows of their mentor-protégé relationship. Doug's character adds depth to the story, offering a sobering contrast to Brian's youthful exuberance.Romance in ParadiseThe film takes a romantic turn when Brian leaves the city for Jamaica, where he meets Jordan Mooney (played by Elisabeth Shue). Their chemistry is palpable, and Jordan's grounded nature counterbalances Brian's high-flying ambitions. Shue's performance brings warmth and sincerity to the film, anchoring the story in moments of genuine emotion amidst the glitz and drama.The romance between Brian and Jordan is central to the film's emotional arc. It's a tale of love tested by ambition, betrayal, and the quest for redemption—classic ingredients for a memorable romantic drama.The Flair and Theatrics of BartendingOne of Cocktail's most iconic elements is its portrayal of flair bartending. The film transformed the act of making cocktails into a spectacle, with Brian and Doug dazzling crowds by flipping bottles, juggling shakers, and turning bartending into an art form. These high-energy sequences, set to a soundtrack of 80s hits, are among the most memorable in the movie.Songs like “Kokomo” by The Beach Boys and “Addicted to Love” by Robert Palmer add to the film's vibrant atmosphere, making the nightlife scenes come alive with infectious energy. The combination of music, choreography, and Cruise's showmanship turned bartending into an aspirational profession for a generation.Themes of Ambition and IdentityAt its core, Cocktail is a story about ambition—both its allure and its pitfalls. Brian's journey reflects the challenges of chasing big dreams while staying true to oneself. The film explores themes of friendship, betrayal, and the search for meaning in a world driven by material success.Doug's cynicism and Brian's youthful optimism create a compelling tension, forcing Brian to confront his own values and priorities. As the story unfolds, the film raises questions about the cost of ambition and the importance of staying grounded.Cultural Impact and ReceptionCocktail was a box-office success upon its release, earning over $170 million worldwide. However, its reception among critics was mixed, with some dismissing it as shallow and formulaic. Despite this, the film has since gained a cult following thanks to its energetic style, charismatic performances, and memorable soundtrack.Cocktail captured the spirit of the late 80s—a time of excess, ambition, and dreams of making it big. Its influence extended beyond the screen, inspiring a wave of interest in flair bartending and nightlife culture.Flaws and LegacyWhile Cocktail shines in many areas, it's not without its flaws. The screenplay occasionally leans on clichés, and some of the character arcs feel underdeveloped. Critics at the time noted the film's uneven tone, which shifts between lighthearted romance and heavier themes of betrayal and loss.That said, the film's imperfections don't overshadow its strengths. Cocktail remains a time capsule of 80s culture, blending style, romance, and drama into an entertaining package. Its enduring popularity speaks to its ability to resonate with audiences despite its shortcomings.Why It Still MattersDecades after its release, Cocktail continues to captivate audiences with its unique blend of charm and drama. It's a film that invites viewers to reflect on their own ambitions and relationships while enjoying the spectacle of Cruise at his most charismatic.For fans of Tom Cruise or romantic dramas with a twist, Cocktail offers a nostalgic trip back to an era of big dreams, bigger hair, and unforgettable flair. Its themes of ambition, love, and self-discovery are as relevant today as they were in 1988, making it a timeless addition to any movie lover's collection.Final PourCocktail is a cinematic concoction that mixes high-energy performances, memorable music, and a heartfelt story into a crowd-pleasing package. Whether you're drawn to Tom Cruise's star power, the dazzling bartending sequences, or the emotional journey of its characters, this film has something for everyone.For our Born to Watch listeners, we'll be diving deeper into the legacy and behind-the-scenes stories of this 80s gem in this week's episode. So grab your favourite drink, hit play, and join us as we toast to Cocktail—a movie that's equal parts style and substance.

Laserdiscs! Remember those things? Govier is pumped for his dated, but healthy new collection of LD's. Jeremy Irons appreciation is strong on this show in case you didn't know. Luke defends the acting of Campbell Scott who is the son of the legendary figure George C. Scott. Get ready for laughs when George lights up a heater in an old interview. Luke may have beef with Cameron Crowe & Citizen Dildo. Somehow Dave Pirner gets in the mix because he was in Reality Bites, but really his composition for Chasing Amy's title credits is what really stands out when Pirner comes to mind. Steve finally gets to talk about the non-fiction book called Among The Bros. There is no way you will be bored or zone out when you hear this story. It's funny, terrifying & absurd all at once. Also get ready to not be shocked when Steve reads off the names of well known people who come from a fraternity background known for its racist tendencies across multiple generations. We got your emails! Joe writes us for the first time in a bit & he's got a brief email about the Telegram app & the possible scumbag Pavel Durov who owns it. Mark Zuckerberg through the United States government recently, but neither of these parties can be trusted. Govier recalls the 1995 classic film Full Body Massage starring Mimi Rogers & Cocktail's Bryan Brown. There is a classic scene involving Bryan Brown asking Mimi's character,"Is this how Doug does it?". It was constantly repeated by the entire crew of this show for many years starting back in 2004. Check it out if you've never seen it! Our most dedicated podcast lover Mr. Pink emails the show! Pink has an undying passion for Luke's sexy vocal prowess. Cinema 9 Podcast host & indie horror director Eric Branstrom emails the show about his latest Sopranos rewatch & has questions about personal experiences with mob ties. Luke makes it clear he does not want to be near a dead body. Would you rat your friends to avoid jail time? Luke & Steve learn about a shared family history related to the OSS formed by the United States government back during World War II. Govier still cannot find that damn clip from Full Body Massage.

Who Will Lead Next? Succession Planning Done Right. Trust is playing a huge role in the processes that leaders know they have to dial in on a daily basis. Most organizations get to a level of scale and they not only have to prepare their next President, they need to prepare their entire bench. Succession is happening all across the business we work with and we have found that as people are understanding certain things about themselves, and sharing with their teams, they are starting to trust each other. Then they begin to answer the questions that come up like, “Who are the leaders who have come up because of this person? And, is this person a developer of leader capacity?” Join Dr. Rob McKenna in this WiLD Conversation Podcast as he gets deep and vulnerable into the story of succession planning done right with Steve Woodworth and Bryan Brown of Masterworks. Steve Woodworth - Steve brings a deep wealth of expertise in marketing, management, and organizational development - and leadership. He was instrumental in pivoting World Vision's direct marketing and donor services through a decade of annual double-digit growth - and if any of you are donors to World Vision - you have seen the power of their donor services. Since joining Masterworks in 1992, Steve has been instrumental in establishing it as the premier marketing agency dedicated to aiding hundreds of organizations in achieving their mission. Steve also gives back in so many other ways. His influence is profound. Bryan Brown - Bryan serves as president of Masterworks. He is committed to accelerating the growth of his organization, bringing industry-leading technology across the business, and expanding The Masterworks vision for direct response marketing and fundraising. Bryan previously served at Masterworks as the ' VP of Experience Design and as COO. Bryan has been Chief Marketing Officer, a chief Technology officer - so he's got an incredible breadth of experience alongside the depth. Prior to joining Masterworks, Bryan led the digital division and ad network of one of the world's largest cross screen media companies (that means connecting all the screens in your house - and someone had to do that for us - apparently Bryan helped with that). And, he's got a Master of Divinity - so he's a business person with the heart of a pastor. Most importantly - these two have been through a succession process together as Bryan is and was Steve's successor at Masterworks.

Weed management is the bane of existence for many gardeners and one of the most critical aspects of farming and land management. Finding safe, effective, and culturally appropriate weed management solutions is a challenge but can be addressed by betting understand the life cycle of the specific weed that is causing a problem. Dr. Bryan Brown is a Senior Extension Associate, NYS Integrated Pest Management and Adjunct Assistant Professor, School of Integrative Plant Science Horticulture Section at Cornell University's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. He joins Nature Calls: Conversations from the Hudson Valley to discuss Weeds and IPM (Integrated Pest Management). Bryan's focus is on improving the management of weeds while minimizing the environmental, economic and human health risks. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a decision-making process that uses science-based information on the life cycles of pests (including weeds) and their interaction with the environment to manage damage by the most economical means, and with the least possible hazard, to people, property, and the environment. In the case of weed management, it may involve hand pulling, tilling the soil, covering the soil with cardboard, solarization, other mechanical removal means, or chemical controls. IPM weed management steps typically include: Identifying the plant(s)that are the source of the problem. Understanding the biology and economics of the weed, where it is found, and any potential ‘Achilles heel'. Monitoring plants including any natural controls (insects, competing plants, etc.). Establishing any injury thresholds to understand the potential damage from infestations, its natural enemies, the sensitivity of the site, and the weather. Actions should be taken only when the potential damage is justified. Selecting an appropriate control strategy. Cultural practices include modification of habitat or operating procedures to minimize damage and enhance natural control. Choosing plant varieties that are resistant to pests, or adjusting planting time, fertilization, tillage, and harvest operations to have the most beneficial effect on the weed management situation. Biological controls including predators, parasites, and diseases. Chemical control involves selecting an herbicide with the lowest toxicity to humans and non-target organisms and using it in such a way as to prevent or minimize undesirable environmental effects. After carefully reading the label, the lowest effective dosage of chemical is applied at the appropriate time of year. Evaluating the weed management program and improving it when possible. In this episode, you'll learn about the importance of understanding the weed's life cycle, whether it's an annual, biennial, or perennial to assess potential control techniques. For annuals, it's critical to stop the plant from going to seed. For perennials, interrupting the plants' ability to send energy to its spreading roots is key to success. So using cover crops or mowing at the right time of year and the right height can make a difference. Hoes can help with mechanical removal. There are many types available, but the best one is a personal preference. Research efforts are underway to determine potential biological controls for some problematic weeds like Japanese knotweed. As Bryan says, there are lots of new developments coming to help with weed management in the future.
