1052. Thinking about helping your kids buy a home decades from now? Host Laura Adams answers a listener's question about the best ways to grow savings. You'll learn how inflation impacts long-term savings and which growth-oriented accounts offer the best return for long-term goals.Key Takeaways:For long-term goals, low-yield options like CDs carry risk due to inflation. Broad-market index funds (like an S&P 500 fund) offer higher returns that can keep pace with inflation.Opening a standard brokerage account in the parent's name allows money to grow in low-cost index funds without contribution caps or early withdrawal penalties. Parents are in complete control of when, how, or if the money is gifted.UGMA or UTMA accounts allow parents to invest on a child's behalf, and ownership legally transfers to the child when they reach adulthood.Families with children under 18 can utilize Trump Accounts, which allow up to $5,000 in annual tax-deferred contributions. Plus, those born from 2025 to 2028 are eligible for a $1,000 federal deposit. After age 18, a child's Trump Account converts to a traditional IRA. It can be converted into a Roth IRA by paying taxes on account earnings, which then allows more options for penalty-free withdrawals.Once a child has earned income, parents can match their earnings in a Roth IRA up to the annual limit ($7,500 in 2026). Contributions can be withdrawn anytime tax- and penalty-free for any use. After five years of account ownership, a Roth IRA allows up to $10,000 of earnings to be used penalty-free (but not tax-free) for a qualified first-time home purchase.Discover more from Money Girl!FacebookNewsletterTranscripts available at QuickandDirtyTips.com.Email: Laura@LauraDAdams.com or leave a voicemail: (302) 364-0308.

Featured Musician: Natives of the New Dawn THE VIDEO: [After THE JUMP: The show notes, eventually.]  --------------------- 1. UTEP Preview starts at the top Offensively they're a Rich Rod spread 'n shred with a running QB and not-good guards. Did some nifty things to Oklahoma but once they run out of ideas they're not much of a threat. Defensively they're a 3-3-5 Tite or 3-3-5 that is probably going to play like TCU did to mitigate a very small DL. Problem is they can get crumpled. Also their secondary can get ripped. Start with PA, practice your stretch, maybe figure out some counters to the ways they will take away the QB run game. 2. Oklahoma After Review: Defense starts around 19:41 The Oklahoma offensive line was butt, maybe. This allowed Jay Hill to play 3-3-5 and trust JHD/Nichols/Pierce/Etta/Lea'ea to dominate. Review of the young DEs is positive, with caveats. Linebackers are doing too much, Staehling is coming out positive but he's limited. Bowles is Moutoning it out there. Is this a 3-3-5 thing? Chase Taylor still a puppy, Beers was too much for him. Hopefully that's a Beers is Good thing (he got Bracy as well). Secondary is as advertised except Rod Moore. Advertised is VERY VERY good. Last talk about the switching issue. 3. Oklahoma After Review: Offense starts around 40:13 Fixable issues. They made things easy on Bryce and ran him, which was playing to win, but he's still someone they have to shepherd along and Venables is excellent at doing the aggressive things to shut that off. Lots of "I don't know how that was supposed to work" plays, and people not climbing. Next step week. Running back: DO SOMETHING! 4. The History of College Football with Greg Dooley starts around 1:05:47 Dooley's course has long been a favorite among students; now you can come too. Got all the Michigan history nerds to come in and do our parts. We discuss some of the parts I came in to speak about, and what Part II might entail. Featured Artist: Natives of the New Dawn I used to work the merch table for my best friends' band (Oblivion) and would often trade their CDs with the other bands for their albums. After a few years of this I had quite an extensive collection of the Ann Arbor/Detroit music scene of the 2000s. A die-hard Tally Hall fan sent me rummaging through the collection, and while I still can't find the damn CD she wanted that I took a photo of when I put them all on iTunes, I've have begun transferring the collection to .flacs, and figured I can get a season out of sharing my finds as they come up. There was little question which band I'd feature first, since their literal tagline is "Your favorite band's favorite band."* Natives were kind of a Super Band. We played with Vince Mann's prior group really early—I want to say Move-In Day on Palmer Field in 2001—and then caught his new funk/hip-hop/rock fusion group Natives of the New Dawn a few times after he formed it by picking up a couple of session musicians, a local DJ, and other well-regarded musicians from the area. I remember them being the best dudes, and I remember they were blowing up quickly in 2006-'07, which was after one of them finally stopped wearing a Spider Man suit to shows. This was a weird era after Napster but before legalized streaming, when Payola ruled the airwaves and major labels only wanted Nu Metal bros who were too dumb to read their contracts. The result were these super-groups that formed out the glut of local talented musicians all trapped together at various 200- to 300-person venues like St. Andrew's, the Magic Stick and the I-Rock in Detroit, the Blind Pig in Ann Arbor, Clutch Cargo's in Pontiac, Ypsi's Tap Room, and of course The Sanctuary in Hamtramck, which was where the bands all would go to play for each other. The songs here are all from Bliss, which the internet says is from 2007, which sounds late to me. * [Actually it's At the Drive-In].

Abilene Bar and Lounge will close after nearly two decades of hosting live music in Rochester. And the Hi Fi Lounge in Brighton is up for sale after 40 years. It opened in 1986 as The CD Exchange. Speaking of CDs, they're making a comeback. The Washington Post reports that CD sales grew faster than vinyl in the past year, with many fans preferring the audio quality of compact discs. We discuss what's changing, what's evolving, and why Abilene is not the only live music venue to close this year. Our guests: Danny Deutsch, owner of Abilene Bar and Lounge Mark Kaidy, owner and operator of the Hi Fi Lounge Hannah Maier, music director of The Route and lead singer and guitarist of the country band, Candy ---Connections is supported by listeners like you.

Here's something worth celebrating. In most of the world, clean energy is now the cheapest electricity ever produced. Solar and wind cost less to build and run than anything that came before, and those prices keep dropping. That means lower bills, cleaner air, and good jobs, often right in your own community. The future we've been hoping for is already showing up on the grid. And here's the best part. You have a real say in how fast it arrives. So much of this is decided close to home, by city councils, county boards, utility commissions, and state representatives. These are the people who choose what gets built and how quickly your neighborhood feels the benefits. When you show up, they listen. So vote in every election, especially the local ones. Get to know where the folks on your ballot stand on clean energy, and cheer on the ones moving things forward. Talk to your neighbors. Show up to a meeting. Every voice adds momentum, and momentum is exactly what turns a bright possibility into the world we live in. The music will always be here. Let's build a future worth playing it in.

Patrick Rieger emailed: "A New Band! Devil Take the Women Hi Marc, Some exciting news here in Pittsburgh for people who like Irish music. An Irish band formed just a few years ago, Devil Take the Women, the name taken from "Whiskey in the Jar". The band is made up of Lauren on acoustic guitar and main vocals, Megan on fiddle and vocals, and Chris on the drums. The Irish bands and musicians I have seen and heard about in Pittsburgh have been around for many years. So to have a new band is pretty cool. My family and I, plus our friend Abby, saw Devil Take the Women for the first time on July 18 at Mullaney's Harp & Fiddle Irish Pub, and it was a great show. They have lots of energy, and a great stage personality. They throw in a few non - Irish songs from time to time, but most of the time it's Irish, which is good for us who have not been happy with the decline in the amount of Irish music played in the pubs for a number of years. We will be seeing them again, and hopefully get some more friends to join us." Martha Clancy emailed: "Hi Marc, I am a Celtic harpist Interested in your e - book about how to promote music in the digital age. You have actually featured me in the past. I used to be able to make money with my CDs on Qvc network and other outlets but now find it very difficult. I have composed many songs in the traditional manner which I would like to promote and find a way to make an income stream with the music I've already produced. I have four CDs I have collaborated on several others. Someone has put much of my music on iTunes which you can search Martha Clancy and iTunes for but I don't get any income from that.

HOUR 1 (09/12) - Gary & Shannon take on app creep and the feeling that seemingly everything now requires a login, portal or download just to function. They weigh the convenience of fitness and healthcare apps against tech fatigue, failed websites and the risk of becoming too dependent on our phones. Then, as CDs make a nostalgic comeback, they look at why physical media suddenly feels appealing again. Plus, a Virginia mother’s arrest after allowing her five-year-old to walk to a nearby pond sparks a bigger conversation about childhood independence, overprotective parenting and how much freedom kids should really have.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Joining Columbia House was something I wanted to do long before I really understood how it worked. I remember filling out the forms for records and later CDs, then having my mom stop me before I could send them away. A couple of my friends actually belonged, and from where I was sitting they seemed to have figured out some secret way of getting huge piles of music for almost nothing. I mostly knew Columbia House through the catalogs and all the mail that came with them. At an age when I loved getting anything addressed to me, that alone gave the whole thing a lot of appeal. On the show, I start with the Columbia Record Club in the 1950s and how it grew into the Columbia House most of us remember. I get into the famous introductory offers, the monthly selections, and how the company could afford to send people so much music for so little money up front. Later I follow Columbia House through its enormous success with CDs and into the period when buying music online started making the whole system feel increasingly unnecessary. I also pull out a newspaper from when the club first appeared near me and look at what else was going on at the time. What interests me most about Columbia House is how much I remember something I didn't even get to try. The catalogs were everywhere and I spent plenty of time deciding which albums I would choose even though I was probably never going to send the form away. Columbia House managed to make ordering music fun (at least for me as a kid). By the time I could have joined Columbia House without asking anyone, I had plenty of other ways to buy music. The company kept going much longer than I realized, first with music and later with movies, while the part of it I remembered had already faded away. I never got the stack of tapes or CDs for a penny that I imagined as a kid, but like millions of other people, I remember choosing them and I am sad those days are over.

It's not so common anymore to see beers with just a single hop, but when we do, we embrace the opportunity to teach ourselves a little something. We have five beers, each made with a different single hop, and we dive into the background of each - and the surprisingly long hop development process. But also, we discuss if Citra is in fact the GHOAT; Craig shares a eulogy for the best way to get 12 CDs for a penny; Ryan's teeing off at the Wafting Greens; and we are about as far divided as we can be about one particular hop.

When money is tight, the financial goals you want to pursue can feel frustratingly out of reach. You may want to give more generously, build your savings, or pay down debt, but there simply doesn't seem to be enough margin to do everything.The good news is that financial progress doesn't always begin with a giant leap. Sometimes, faithfulness looks like taking one small step at a time.Brian Holtz, CEO of Compass Financial Ministry, says that whether financial pressure comes from past choices or circumstances outside our control, creating that first bit of margin is often the hardest part. But a few practical steps can begin building momentum.1. Start With PrayerThe first step may not sound tactical, but it is foundational: invite God into your financial decisions.James 1:5 tells us that if we lack wisdom, we should ask God, who gives generously to those who ask. When you feel financially stuck, tell the Lord that you want to honor Him with what He has entrusted to you and ask Him to show you the next faithful step.The answer may not come as unexpected money. More often, God may provide fresh insight, reveal new options, or bring wise people into your life who can help you see your situation differently.Before changing the numbers, begin by seeking the One who gives wisdom.2. Think Smaller—but LongerWhen margins are slim, quick financial wins may be harder to come by. But that doesn't mean progress is impossible.Perhaps you want to give 10% of your income but simply aren't in a position to do that right now. Instead of giving up on generosity altogether, you might begin with 1% or even less and prayerfully work your way up over time.The same principle applies to saving. If all you can set aside is $5 or $10 a week, start there. Small amounts may not seem significant, but consistency matters.Jesus praised the widow who gave two small coins in Mark 12:41–44. The monetary value was tiny, but her gift revealed something much greater about her heart.Faithful stewardship isn't measured only by the size of the step. Sometimes the important thing is simply keeping moving in the right direction.3. Use Windfalls to Create MarginOccasional extra money can become a powerful tool when used strategically.A tax refund, bonus, rebate, gift, or an occasional month with an extra paycheck can help reduce expenses that normally consume your monthly cash flow.Instead of spending that money automatically, consider using it to eliminate a small recurring payment. Perhaps you can pay off a phone, clear a small department-store credit card balance, or eliminate another modest bill.That may free only $10, $20, or $50 each month—but now that money can be redirected toward your next priority.It's similar to a miniature debt snowball. One small victory creates margin, and that margin fuels the next step.When money is tight, momentum matters.4. Shop With a StrategyAnother way to create breathing room is to become more intentional about everyday spending.Start by prioritizing essential expenses such as housing, utilities, food, transportation, and other obligations. Then evaluate optional expenses.That may mean pausing a streaming subscription during a difficult month or postponing a purchase you would otherwise enjoy. Needs should generally come before wants.You can also make your grocery dollars work harder by purchasing staples when they are discounted. If chicken is half-price and you know your family will use it, buying an extra package may reduce future grocery costs. The key is buying strategically rather than simply buying more because something is on sale.Small decisions like these can gradually create room in a tight budget.Don't Despise Small BeginningsWhen finances are strained, it's easy to become discouraged because you can't immediately accomplish everything you want to do.But stewardship is not about achieving financial perfection overnight. It is about faithfully managing what God has placed in your hands today.Pray for wisdom. Start smaller if necessary. Use unexpected income strategically. Choose needs before wants. Then allow each wise decision to create a little more margin for the next one.As Zechariah 4:10 reminds us, we should not despise small beginnings.You may not be able to change your entire financial situation today. But you can take one faithful step—and then another.Compass also offers a video study called Making Ends Meet, designed to help individuals and families find that first bit of financial margin and begin their financial discipleship journey one step at a time.You can learn more and find additional biblical stewardship resources at CompassFinancialMinistry.org.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My husband has been in a nursing home for four years and is on Medicaid. I've been told that once I retire, if my income exceeds about $4,000 a month, I may have to contribute more toward his care. Is that true? And could using some of my 401(k) to pay down our mortgage affect how Medicaid treats my income or assets?I keep my emergency fund in savings, but the interest is low, and CDs limit access. Would a money market mutual fund be a good place to keep emergency savings?I'm receiving Social Security survivor benefits from my late husband. If I remarry, can I continue receiving those benefits, particularly at my age?I'm 63 and have both a traditional IRA and a 401(k). Will my traditional IRA withdrawals be fully taxable in retirement, and would a Roth conversion make sense before I retire? Also, should I contribute only enough to my 401(k) to receive the 4% match and put additional retirement savings into my IRA instead?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Compass Financial MinistryMaking Ends Meet Video Study (Compass Financial Ministry)Fidelity Government Money Market Fund | Schwab Prime Advantage Money Fund | Vanguard Federal Money Market FundFaithFi Field Guide: How Much Money is Enough?

So we are getting deep into the weeds of digital music marketing on this week's podcast, and while it gets a bit technical in places this is a really interesting conversation from the perspective of building an audience completely independently in a way that just wasn't possible before the digital model.He offers a version of his strategy via his Intellijend platform, which automates many of the processes and makes the whole thing a lot more manageable for the typical expert DAW technician who has never opened Facebook ad manager.We talk about how he came up with these approaches to music marketing and how to implement them, building them into a product for other artists to use, and also the necessity for music to live in the real world and different ways to achieve this in a similar DIY way.This is the antidote to moaning about Spotify and telling people to buy CDs... get involved!--MERCH: Support the podcast with a purchase from our new line of awesome merch.

What happens when the system goes down in a cyberattack?

Always verify suspicious requests via a direct phone call or in-person conversation. The Threat of Outside CDs: Discs containing outside imaging studies are major vectors for malware. To help prevent spreading a digital infection, outside CDs should be uploaded in isolated, dedicated environments rather than directly on standard clinical workstations.

The episode also covers the resurgence of CDs and the benefits of listening to music on physical formats. The conversation is engaging and thought-provoking, with a mix of personal anecdotes, expert opinions, and interesting facts.

New York Times' bestselling author Larry McDonald, founder of The Bear Traps Report, returns to The Julia La Roche Show to break down what he's hearing from the veteran investors in his network — and the shift he's watching in real time. Portfolio managers who spent two years as raging bulls have turned bearish on the financials and are quietly spending a slice of their gains on downside protection while volatility is cheap. McDonald walks through the mechanics of the data center financing boom: hundreds of billions in off-balance-sheet debt from the hyperscalers, the banks now holding that exposure, and the credit default swaps those same banks are buying on the Mag 7. He explains why he sees a late-2006 rhyme in private credit and the CCC market, why diesel prices could re-spark inflation over the next few CPI prints, and why the most crowded trade on Wall Street right now may be the bearish one on bonds. Plus: the "supernova" dynamic that turns a hot economy into a fast recession, why he's still long hard assets, and the one risk he thinks almost nobody is talking about.Thank you to our partners Augusta Precious Metals — To learn more, visit https://juliabuysgold.com/ or text “Julia" to 35052Monetary Metals - learn more at https://www.monetary-metals.com/julia/Links: How To Listen When Markets Speak: https://www.amazon.com/Listen-When-Markets-Speak-Opportunities-ebook/dp/B0C4DFVFNR Colossal Failure of Common Sense: https://www.amazon.com/Colossal-Failure-Common-Sense-Collapse/dp/B002IFLWMKTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/Convertbond Bear Traps Report: https://www.thebeartrapsreport.com/0:00 — Intro1:18 — A million books sold, and what the ideas dinners reveal3:07 — Where the smart money is shifting right now4:39 — How investors are buying protection: CDS, puts, VIX ETFs5:35 — Late cycle: data center financing and the Mag 7's cash burn7:00 — Meta's $30B off-balance-sheet financing and what banks did next8:22 — Why banks are buying CDS on the companies they lend to9:42 — Lehman Systemic Risk Indicators: CCCs, LQD, private credit11:00 — "You're manufacturing Bernie Madoffs": no business cycle, no cleansing12:21 — Midterms, the Treasury, and the DSA risk to the long end17:00 — Why inflation isn't as tame as it looks — diesel is the tell18:56 — Scott Bessent vs. the "faculty lounge" Treasury21:44 — The Google bond at 88, the Apple bond at 4923:39 — Are there hidden SVBs out there?25:55 — The contrarian trade: buying duration when everyone's bearish27:42 — What the bond market is signaling29:40 — Why the bad news is 80-90% priced in31:49 — The supernova effect and how recessions actually start33:06 — Hedging equities: puts on the financials at record price-to-book34:30 — Biggest under-the-radar risk36:00 — What he's still long: energy, coal, copper, gold miners37:22 — Where to find the Bear Traps Report

Chaos im echten Leben? Taranja Wu hat dafür einen simplen Vorschlag: tanzen. Ihr neues Album ist der Soundtrack fürs Durcheinander – bevölkert von Figuren aus Filmen und Serien. Im Interview erzählt sie, warum Saoirse Ronan, Carey Mulligan und David Lynch plötzlich Teil ihrer Songs werden. «All Messed Up» ist kein autobiografisches Album – zumindest nicht im klassischen Sinn. Taranja Wu versteht ihre Kunstfigur eher als Echo oder Spiegel: Durch sie schlüpft sie in andere Menschen und Situationen. So landen plötzlich Figuren wie Saoirse Ronans Charakter aus «The Outrun» oder Carey Mulligan aus «Promising Young Woman» in ihren Songs. Auch David Lynchs «Blue Velvet» hinterlässt Spuren. Das passt zu Wus intuitiver Art zu schreiben: Sie beginnt meist mit einem Beat, ohne zu wissen, wohin die Reise geht. Erst nach und nach tauchen Figuren, Geschichten und Atmosphären auf. Und obwohl es dabei inhaltlich auch mal richtig düster wird, soll «All Messed Up» kein Album zum Versinken sein. Wu will dem Chaos lieber tanzend begegnen – ohne falsche Hoffnung, aber mit genug Drive, um weiterzumachen. «All Messed Up» ist das neue Sounds! Album der Woche. Es gibt Vinyl und CDs zu gewinnen, nur live im Radio.

Derek Champagne talks with the Godfather of reissue culture, Richard Foos. Richard Foos launched his entertainment career shortly after college in a small storefront on Santa Monica Boulevard. What began as a quirky record store evolved into Rhino Records, one of the most respected reissue labels in the world. It became a hub for collectors, and in 1978, he and his partner, Harold Bronson, launched the label. The Rhino team is credited with inventing “reissue culture,” which in the aggregate has sold many hundreds of millions of records and CDs. In 1998, Rhino Entertainment Company was fully acquired by Time Warner. It became the catalogue development and marketing division of Warner Music Group, where it continues today, reissuing the great artists on Warner labels. Richard stayed with the company until 2002. In 2003, Richard and his two partners, Bob Emmer and Garson Foos, launched Shout! Factory, shifting the focus toward TV and film. Shout! Studios is now a part of Radial Entertainment, where Richard serves as a consultant for the company. Beyond business, Richard is also known for his social activism. Foos currently serves as Board Chair of both TheNarrative Method and Volunteer Collective. He also serves on the Board of Governors of Cedars Sinai, and on the boards of Pico Union Project, Inc., Brave New Films, College Match LA, and Hoover Intergenerational Care, which he co-founded in 1976. Richard is married to therapist Shari Foos, who is the founder of The Narrative Method.Visit Radial EntertainmentBusiness Leadership Series Intro and Outro music provided by Just Off Turner: https://music.apple.com/za/album/the-long-walk-back/268386576

Tonight, we follow some stories that refuse to add up! Andrew Paquette joins us to discuss his technical analysis of voter-registration records that comprised the shocking reports published by NY Citizen's Audit. Has anything significant changed with two months until the Mid-Terms? Then everything gets considerably stranger: FreakBob's blackjack-table chaos, the viral Cat-in-the-Hat hoax, Slender Man and other internet-born entities that seemingly escaped into reality, a robot-vacuum affair and home-recording legal paradox, the unexpected return of CDs, open lines, and the Thursday raffle.

Should retirement spending pass through a Roth? Can a nonprofit offer a 401(k) with ETFs? Does active management really win overseas? Don works through a packed listener-question episode covering Roth conversions, retirement-plan rollovers, SPIVA versus Morningstar, Treasuries and CDs, dividend reinvestment in retirement, and whether a variable universal life policy still earns its keep.Want more Money Music?

He had the conservatory training, the orchestral chops, and the “proper” classical path laid out ahead of him, but Sebastian Plano couldn't ignore the stronger call: make his own music. We sit down with the Grammy-nominated cellist and composer to trace the real turning points, from leaving Lisbon on a one-way ticket to Boston, to realizing that interpretation alone was not enough, to building a creative life where the cello becomes both voice and laboratory. We dig into the craft behind his signature approach: studying scores, sneaking into composition spaces, then recording his early work by layering parts until he could “make the orchestra” himself. Sebastian also tells the unvarnished post-school story, including what happens when you order 1,000 CDs and suddenly need an audience. His answer was simple and brave: play. He busks in the San Francisco subway, takes gigs anywhere, and learns how direct connection, repetition, and community can become both income and momentum for an independent artist. Then we shift to Solo, his newest solo cello album with no electronics, no multitracking, and nowhere to hide. He explains why stepping out of his safe zone felt necessary, how travel and transformation shaped the music, and why he wants other players to take these pieces and make them their own. If you care about contemporary cello, modern composition, independent music production, or choosing a nontraditional musician career, this conversation offers practical insight and a lot of honesty. Subscribe for more interviews like this, share the episode with a musician who needs a nudge, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show.For more information on Sebastian: https://www.sebastianplano.com/You can also find Sebastian on Facebook and Instagram: @sebastianplanoYouTube: @sebastianplanoofficialIf you are looking for in person/virtual cello lessons, or orchestral repertoire audition coachings, check out www.theCelloSherpa.comFollow us on Facebook, Instagram, Threads & YouTube: @theCelloSherpaFor more information on our sponsor: www.CLEAResources.com

The early 2000s were one of the greatest eras in Dancehall history. Every club, street jam, sound system, and party was fueled by infectious riddims, unforgettable hooks, and artists who helped take Jamaican music to every corner of the world. This mix is my tribute to that incredible period, bringing together the songs that dominated dancefloors and became the soundtrack of a generation. This mix celebrates the golden age of Dancehall, where legendary riddims like Diwali, Buy Out, and Fiesta produced hit after hit. These were the records every DJ had in rotation because they never failed to get a crowd moving. Even today, these songs instantly transport you back to packed clubs, late night parties, and unforgettable memories. Inside this mix you'll hear timeless anthems from Wayne Wonder including Friend Like Me, Bounce Along, and No Letting Go. Beenie Man reminds everyone why he earned the title King of Dancehall with classics like Fresh From Yard, Dude, Girls Dem Sugar, L.O.V.E, and King of the Dancehall. Shaggy delivers nonstop energy with Wild 2nite, Full Control, Ready Fi Di Ride, It Wasn't Me, and Hey Sexy Lady, songs that became international favorites. Sean Paul is in top form with club staples including Can You Do The Work, Like Glue Remix, Get Busy Remix, Ever Blazin', and Gimme The Light. T.O.K. continue the momentum with Money To Burn, Galang Gal, Chi Chi Man, She's Hot, and Gal Yu Ah Lead Remix, proving why they were one of the defining groups of the era. The mix also highlights crossover classics from Rihanna with If It's Lovin' That You Want and Pon De Replay, Kevin Lyttle with She Drives Me Crazy and Turn Me On Remix, Lumidee's Never Leave You, Elephant Man's explosive Pon De River Pon De Bank, Rupee's Tempted To Touch, Cham's Vitamin S, Lady Saw's Man Is The Least, Akon's Gunshot, and many more records that connected Dancehall with Hip Hop, R&B, and Pop audiences around the world. Every transition in this mix has been carefully crafted to recreate the atmosphere of a packed dancefloor during Dancehall's biggest years. The energy builds naturally from one anthem to the next, allowing each song to shine while keeping the momentum alive from beginning to end. This is more than a collection of classics. It is a musical journey through one of the most influential periods in Caribbean music. Whether these songs remind you of your first party, your favorite sound system, or the days of burning CDs and downloading music during the early internet era, this mix is guaranteed to bring back memories while introducing a new generation to the records that shaped modern Dancehall. Turn the volume up, relive the golden era, and let the music take you back to when Dancehall ruled every club. Mixed by DJ Loft. Pure nostalgia. Pure energy. Pure Club Heat.

The 20th-century days of vinyl records, tape decks, CDs, Tower Records, and MTV have given way to our 21st-century age of MP3s and music streaming, Spotify, Amazon, YouTube, TikTok, and Ticketmaster. While certain people and certain companies in the music industry are making more money than ever, working musicians are finding it increasingly impossible to pay the bills and make a living from their art. In this episode of Working People, we speak with all four members of veteran Chicago rock band The Empty Pockets about the work that goes into being a professional musician, and the realities of working and trying to make a living in the music industry today.

Some of the most tempting retirement investing mistakes begin with ideas that sound perfectly reasonable: move to cash when the market looks expensive, put everything in CDs while rates are attractive, leave stocks behind once you retire, or rely on dividend stocks for income. The problem is that each approach can allow one concern or prediction to dictate an entire investment strategy. Jeremy Keil answers five listener questions about investing in retirement. The surprising truth about retirement investing is that many questions are answered more clearly by re-focusing on when you'll need the money and what you need it to accomplish, rather than predictions about what markets, interest rates, or individual investments will do next.

For years, investors have looked at the bond side of their portfolios and wondered: what's the point?Interest rates were near zero, yields were low, and then 2022 reminded investors that bonds can lose money too.But today, the fixed income landscape looks very different. Retirees can potentially earn 4%, 5%, or even more on investments they traditionally consider their “safe money.”So… is fixed income finally back?In this episode, I break down how I'm thinking about bonds and fixed income for retirees today, including:-Why higher interest rates can create risks for BOTH bonds and stocks-How much of your retirement portfolio should potentially be in fixed income-Risk tolerance vs. your actual capacity to take risk-Using bonds, CDs, T-bills and cash to create a short-term income reserve-Why guaranteed income can change how much investment risk you need to take-Where annuities may fit into the fixed-income conversation-Why chasing dividend stocks for income can create its own risks-How to build an investment portfolio around your retirement plan, not the other way aroundI also share one of my favorite lessons from Tiger Woods' 2019 Masters victory and why sometimes the best retirement strategy isn't firing at every pin. It's simply making sure you stay in the tournament.The goal isn't to maximize the return on every dollar you have.Some dollars need to grow. Some need to hedge against inflation. Some need to produce income. And some simply need to make sure you're still in the game when markets get ugly.⁠⁠Are you interested in working with me 1 on 1?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click this link to fill out our Retirement Readiness Questionnaire⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Or,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠visit my website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⛳ PFR Nation (Who This Is For)If you're over 50, have saved seven figures (or multiple seven figures), love golf and travel, and you want to make work optional while minimizing taxes… welcome to the right place.-KevinConnect with me here:​⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow the podcast⁠⁠​⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join My Company Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠This is for general education purposes only and should not be considered as tax, legal or investment advice.

Today we're diving into an absolutely wild romance scam involving a man accused of pretending to be a San Francisco 49ers wide receiver—or, depending on the day, an ultra-wealthy Swiss real estate mogul. Authorities say the four-year scheme targeted at least 26 women and brought in roughly $1.3 million. Apparently dating apps weren't stressful enough already.The details only get crazier. The alleged scam included social media accounts packed with 49ers gear, luxury cars and images designed to make the whole thing look legitimate. According to the story discussed on the show, some of the online material was AI-generated, and the fake identity became established enough online that search engines and AI tools reportedly started treating the guy like an actual football player.Then comes the fake wealth. Screenshots supposedly showed bank and investment accounts containing millions of dollars, and once relationships were established, an alleged accomplice would enter the picture as the “wealth manager.” Three-way calls, fake investment returns and promises of high-yield opportunities followed. When victims ran out of money or started asking questions? Suddenly their extremely successful NFL boyfriend became extremely unavailable.It launches the crew into a bigger conversation about romance scams, our weird relationship with wealth and just how easy it has become to manufacture an impressive-looking life online. Rafe points out that you barely need a real podcast anymore—you can film yourself in front of a microphone, dispense some motivational nonsense and convince the internet you've appeared on 400 episodes of something called The Alpha Wealth Mindset Experience.Okay, we made that title up. But you've absolutely seen that guy.Listeners pile on with stories of fake celebrities allegedly trying to scam people, including Martina McBride and Mark Harmon impersonators. If Mark Harmon suddenly slides into Mom's Facebook messages and needs $700 in gift cards, maybe call somebody.That's the kind of public service you only get from a funny podcast with absolutely no qualifications to provide public services.The show also tackles the old belief that celebrity deaths happen in threes and why our brains are so desperate to find patterns in random events.From there, we discover Goodwill is getting into the record-store business with a media-focused concept called Rewind. Vinyl, CDs, cassettes, VHS tapes, vintage audio gear and whatever forgotten three-disc CD changer somebody's mom finally convinced Dad to get out of the basement. It might be heaven. It might smell like somebody else's basement. Either way, we're interested.Then it's time for Crap on Celebrities, where things get wonderfully messy.The crew gets into music and entertainment news, including Olivia Rodrigo's Daisy Chain Fields Festival, Sarah McLachlan, Alanis Morissette and Stevie Nicks. That naturally becomes a debate over “Landslide,” including Lern's discovery that apparently nothing evacuates a Colorado bar faster than putting it on the jukebox.There's also Scott Weiland material headed for release, more Korn vinyl reissues, Limp Bizkit joining Spotify's billion-stream club and the continuing realization that the music of our youth is now getting 30th-anniversary editions. Awesome. Love having time itself personally attack us.Elsewhere, an 85-year-old Donna Mills is reportedly making serious money on OnlyFans without full nudity, which sends Rafe into an impromptu financial analysis of the subscription business model. This is technically economics if nobody from an accredited university is listening.The entertainment chaos continues with Coyote vs. Acme, a creepy movie called Buddy that basically asks what would happen if a beloved children's mascot completely snapped, and news of Tom Cruise returning as Cole Trickle for a Days of Thunder sequel alongside Anne Hathaway.The crew also discovers a movie about the creation of Hooters is in development, accidentally invents an entirely different restaurant concept during the conversation, and immediately starts yelling “trademark” because apparently that's how intellectual property law works now.Finally, we get famous musicians trashing other famous musicians. Jack White versus The Black Keys. Madonna versus Lady Gaga. Elton John versus Madonna. Kurt Cobain versus seemingly everybody. Courtney Love versus Taylor Swift. Nick Cave versus the Red Hot Chili Peppers. And Usher telling T-Pain that Auto-Tune messed up music.Nothing brings people together quite like extremely successful artists explaining why other extremely successful artists are terrible.Fake NFL stars. AI-generated lifestyles. Romance scams. KISS Army business. Celebrity impostors. Vinyl nostalgia. Music feuds. OnlyFans economics. Tom Cruise going racing again. And an alarming amount of discussion about Hooters.It's another funny podcast from The Rizzuto Show, where we examine the important stories of our time and then immediately ruin any chance of being taken seriously.Listen now, subscribe, and come back for more celebrity news, weird stories, pop culture commentary, St. Louis humor and daily chaos from Rizz and the gang.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Dave circles back to Dopey Episode 42—the first appearance of his lifelong friend Devan. Before the replay, Dave celebrates eleven years in recovery, reflects on acceptance, gratitude and friendship, makes amends for sharing too much about a sponsee, and responds to listeners inspired by the Hunter Biden interview. Then Dave, Chris and Devan revisit their teenage years in New York City, including Dave and Devin's first acid trip at a Grateful Dead show, the pug that looked like an alien, a disastrous baby-powder fight and their organized campaign to steal CDs from HMV. Chris remembers Surfer Mike, addiction before the drugs and his dangerous childhood experiments with model rockets. Finally, an Australian listener tells the insane story of an overdosed friend who was dumped in a phone booth—only to wake up hours later and call the people who left him there. All that and MORE on the total replay episode of the good old dopey show! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The gospel worker from China was stunned by how many biblical resources were available to Christians in America. He created a plan to scan one Bible commentary onto CDs that could be carried back into China and copied for underground Christians there. But he needed help. He reached out to find a more technically-capable person to help with the process—and an international ministry was birthed! Ken Bitgood was the young man recruited to help with that scanning project. Today he and Digital Bible Society are distributing Scripture resources in more than 4,500 languages! When Ken first became a follower of Jesus, he was encouraged to live in God's Word. He'll tell how he did that (with the help of a car stereo) and how it birthed in him a passion to see people of all nations, tribes, and tongues access the riches of the Bible and Christian resources to encourage and edify the Body of Christ around the world. In their 25th year of ministry, the Digital Bible Society is working alongside more than 400 organizations to distribute resources, free and free to copy, in over 6,000 languages. Ken will share a story of a man from Beijing he met at a conference, who pointed to the DBS resources and said, "This is what put me in jail!" You'll hear more of Ken's heart to see laborers in the harvest fields as he shares his belief that every language should have God's Word translated for them in his lifetime. Visit the Bible Access List to learn more about where there is a shortage of Bibles and places that are restricted from having God's Word.

Dust off that giant binder of scratched CDs you definitely didn't throw away because apparently funny podcast history has come full circle: physical media is making a comeback.The show kicks off with the surprising resurgence of CDs, with sales jumping while vinyl growth slows down. Why? Turns out paying nearly $40 for a new record eventually makes people reconsider the humble compact disc. Gen Z is getting into CDs, independent record stores are stocking more of them, older cars still have CD players, and there's something comforting about owning music that can't suddenly disappear from a streaming service. Moon also realizes those boxes of old band CDs might not be useless relics after all. Congratulations to everyone who refused to clean out their basement. Your moment has arrived.Then Crap on Celebrities takes us directly into the wildly expensive world of Hollywood memorabilia. A screen-matched mosquito-in-amber prop from the original Jurassic Park sells for more than $400,000, while Christopher Reeve's Superman gear and John Travolta's famous Saturday Night Fever suit also bring ridiculous money at auction.Naturally, this becomes less about collecting important pieces of movie history and more about whether you're morally obligated to PUT THE COSTUME ON.Because if you spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on Superman's costume just to leave it behind glass, what are we even doing here?The crew also gets into entertainment news, including the changing timeline between theatrical releases and streaming, Toy Story 5, a live-action Scooby-Doo prequel, and Ghost taking a hiatus after Tobias Forge admits he doesn't currently have a clear vision for the band's next album. We salute a man willing to say, “I don't know what the next thing is yet,” instead of releasing twelve remixes and a commemorative popcorn bucket.Then there's Grand Theft Auto.The latest massive GTA preview sends the room into gamer mode as the crew talks about the gigantic map, Jason and Lucia's evolving relationship, smarter cops, surveillance cameras, changing disguises, massive police chases and an enormous story that could consume roughly 80 hours of your life.So basically, Rockstar has created a second full-time job, except this one lets you steal cars.The funny podcast chaos keeps rolling with Paris Hilton landing on a list of influential people in artificial intelligence because of her advocacy surrounding privacy and non-consensual AI-generated media. Then the hunt for the next James Bond gives everyone a chance to evaluate candidates with the rigorous casting standards you'd expect from three guys who immediately nominate Mr. Bean.And finally, we tackle one of the most important databases ever assembled: tall and short rock stars.Chris Novoselic. Danny Carey. Mick Fleetwood. Buckethead. Joey Ramone. Billy Corgan. Angus Young. Prince. Glenn Danzig. Stevie Nicks. The measurements are flying, everyone suddenly seems either seven feet tall or legally eligible for a booster seat, and we discover once again that stage presence apparently adds about eight inches.Throw in celebrity birthdays, Luis Guzmán appreciation, Warren Buffett confusion, Charlie Munger confusion, additional Charlie confusion, and the traditional descent into nonsense, and you've got another funny podcast from The Rizzuto Show.Physical media is back. Movie props cost more than retirement. GTA may require PTO. And Danzig is still Danzig at any height.That's enough education for one day.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today's episode begins exactly where every respectable radio program should: debating canned chili and whether The Rizzuto Show should abandon broadcasting altogether to open a chili parlor. Because apparently decades of radio experience were merely preparation for serving questionable bowls of meat during a St. Louis summer.The crew gets into a disturbing local story involving two kittens rescued after being thrown from a moving vehicle, which launches a conversation about animal cruelty, punishment, and why there have been so many bizarre animal-abuse cases around the St. Louis area. Thankfully, the kittens are recovering, because this show has enough emotional damage without adding more.Then we head to the amusement park formerly known as Six Flags, talk about its new Mid America Adventure identity, and immediately start remembering the various roller coasters that have spent decades attempting to rearrange our internal organs. That leads us to California's X2 coaster and reports of riders suffering terrifying medical emergencies. Naturally, half the room hears “brain hemorrhage” and responds like someone just announced a new thrill ride they absolutely have to try.Rafe also gives us an update from the dating world, including his Texas connection and the increasingly complicated rules surrounding modern romance. That turns into the question every hopeless romantic eventually has to answer: is a grand gesture thoughtful… or are you about three seconds away from appearing in somebody's “THIS GUY IS A CREEP” TikTok?A guy goes on two dates with a woman, finds her address without asking, and sends her Mother's Day flowers supposedly from her dog. Sweet? Creepy? Thirsty? The Rizz Show Supreme Court is now in session, and absolutely nobody involved has passed the bar.Apparently this question is complicated enough to involve law enforcement, surveillance footage, social media, and an actual public search for the guy who picked up the cash. Suddenly our daily comedy podcast has become CSI: Walmart, where the suspect is armed with three ten-dollar bills and an extremely debatable interpretation of “finders keepers.”We also get into air-travel nightmares after a pilot suffers a medical emergency during a flight and still manages to help get the plane safely on the ground. Meanwhile, Moon is preparing to fly, which is exactly the kind of story you want to hear immediately before heading to an airport.The episode's namesake saga involves Yolanda Jackson, a drive-through order, a dangerously hot pot pie, severe burns, permanent scarring, and the resulting courtroom battle. Nothing says daily comedy quite like discovering your food apparently requires protective equipment.It's another episode filled with St. Louis stories, weird news, dating disasters, food catastrophes, questionable financial ethics, amusement-park trauma, and the kind of conversations that start somewhere reasonable before wandering directly into the woods.Dust off that giant binder of scratched CDs you definitely didn't throw away because apparently funny podcast history has come full circle: physical media is making a comeback.The show kicks off with the surprising resurgence of CDs, with sales jumping while vinyl growth slows down. Why? Turns out paying nearly $40 for a new record eventually makes people reconsider the humble compact disc.

The measurements are flying, everyone suddenly seems either seven feet tall or legally eligible for a booster seat, and we discover once again that stage presence apparently adds about eight inches.Carefully constructed journeys through comedy, culture, and the human condition. This one starts with an eagle call, gets yelled at by an offended listener, drinks imaginary Malört, sends Riz back to college, remembers the horrors of Rotten.com, and eventually makes everybody emotional over Dolly Parton. So… basically the same thing.The Rizzuto Show kicks off with Team JB and the Zero Prostate Cancer Run and Walk in memory of our buddy Jeff Burton, plus Greek Fire getting ready for a show benefiting Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital. Then we get into one of radio's oldest traditions: somebody getting mad enough at the show to contact the bosses.This time, a listener wasn't thrilled about the proximity of the Porno Birthday to a children's charity announcement. Riz got the dreaded “Can I see you before you leave?” message, and suddenly we're debating whether everybody is too easily offended, whether people need to watch what they say, and whether society could possibly locate that mythical middle ground where empathy and a sense of humor coexist.Rafe brings the comedian's perspective to the argument, including the audience member who loves 99 jokes but desperately needs to inform you about the one they didn't like. Our solution remains remarkably simple: maybe leave that joke at the club and take the other ones home.We discover that Malört has somehow created an entire identity around tasting terrible. Most companies try to convince customers their product is delicious. Malört basically dares you to survive it. The gang dives into its hilariously hostile marketing, its reputation as Chicago's favorite way to punish a friend, and the important question nobody has apparently answered: Is anyone ordering this stuff because they actually enjoy it?From there, we say farewell to Sam Rizzuto's dream of college independence after Riz tours the University of Arkansas and realizes he might want the full college experience himself. Suddenly we're imagining a Back to School scenario where father and son become Razorbacks together, share a dorm, take Intro to Communications, and graduate in the same class. Nothing weird about that whatsoever, Sam. Your new roommate just happens to be Dad.The real RIPs begin with tributes to Peter Cullen and Tim Curry, celebrating two remarkable careers and the voices, characters, movies, and performances they left behind.Finally, Rafe delivers a deeply personal tribute to Dolly Parton.It's funny, sincere, personal, and probably more emotionally responsible than anything surrounding the previous discussion of Malört.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Two kittens recovering after being thrown from vehicle, covered in what shelter believes was bleachSix Flags St. Louis officially rebrands as Mid America AdventureIntense Six Flags Coaster Closed After Two Riders Suffer Brain Hemorrhages: “It's Got to Stop”Man Finds $30 on the Ground, Then Learns He's Wanted by PoliceDelta flight from LA to Boston lands in Detroit as captain gets sick: "I am the one who is ill"Woman left scarred by burns from Church's Chicken pot pie wins $20,000 in lawsuitMiss Sheri's Cafeteria closing after 54 yearsNever-Ending Pasta Bowl returns to Olive Garden menu at special price for limited timeCouple accused of stealing hundreds of library books to resellBloomington Man, 19, Charged After Applebee's Bomb Threat Over Slow FoodFlorida man caught speeding claimed he was rushing to Buc-ee's bathroomSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week we're joined by Michael Cochren, the soul-and-blues frontman of Cochren & Co. He talks about the eight years he spent waiting on an answer from God and why he refuses to say God is good just because things finally worked out. We spotlight the band's new album, 'Runs in the Blood.'In RELEVANT Buzz, Cory Asbury posted and deleted a shirtless workout photo, apologized for it and then got roasted by every friend he has in Christian music. Also, survivors launched the first national database of Protestant leaders accused of abuse, years after the SBC voted to build one and then let it die. And The Promised Land, the Moses workplace mockumentary that started as a YouTube pilot, just signed Lionsgate and got a second season.In Slices, Columbia House is finally shutting down, which mostly raises the question of how it was still open, and one of us confesses to running a stack of accounts under slightly different names to get free CDs as a teenager. And a woman in New Zealand went into cardiac arrest in a supermarket parking lot, got revived by a stranger and then got a parking ticket for it. Also in here: a follow-up on the resting heart rate situation, a public service announcement about energy drinks, and the actual reason last week's episode showed up five days late.One Has to Go closes it out. And we're still taking answers to last week's question: What's something you wish you'd known going into your freshman year of college? Drop it in the comments or @ us. We're running your answers in a piece this week.Highlights:01:21 — Marty's new house and the California no-AC problem 04:07 — Is the house haunted 06:15 — The resting heart rate follow-up and a Celsius warning 07:48 — C4, Sour Patch Kids flavor and two hours of pins and needles 11:35 — David Blaine, stunt magic and the four kinds of magician 19:15 — Emily is podcasting from what appears to be a TJ Maxx dressing room 21:04 — Kohl's cash 22:13 — RELEVANT Buzz: Cory Asbury takes down the shirtless photo and apologizes 28:08 — Survivors launch the first national database of accused Protestant abusers 30:09 — The Promised Land gets a second season and Lionsgate 31:33 — Michael Cochren of Cochren & Co. 39:12 — Slices: Columbia House is shutting down after 71 years 43:34 — She died in a parking lot and still got a ticket 48:34 — Why last week's episode was late 50:05 — One Has to GoAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
