This week, James L Brooks talked about The Simpsons, Mary Tyler Moore ,Terms of Endearment, having a million lunches to cast parts, his difficult beginnings and how the fear of survival and women's shoes drove him to his success. We also talk about what an amazing mentor he is, incredible writer, the worst notes he's ever gotten from a network, and now he likes to have drool days.Bio:James L. Brooks is a three-time Academy Award®-winner and eighteen-time Emmy® Award-winner. He began his television career as a writer who also produced such beloved television hits as Taxi, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Tracy Ullman Show, and The Simpsons. Brooks began working in film in 1979 when he wrote the screenplay for Starting Over which he co-produced with Alan J. Pakula. In 1983, Brooks wrote, produced and directed Terms of Endearment for which he won three Academy Awards. In 1987, he wrote, produced and directed Broadcast News, which was nominated for seven Academy Awards® including Best Screenplay and Best Picture. Brooks then directed I'll Do Anything starring Nick Nolte, Albert Brooks, and Julie Kavner. In 1997, Brooks co-wrote, produced, and directed As Good As It Gets, starring Jack Nicholson, Helen Hunt, and Greg Kinnear. The film was nominated for seven Academy Awards® including Best Picture, and both Nicholson and Hunt won Oscars® for their performances. In 2004, Brooks wrote and directed the film Spanglish, starring Adam Sandler, Tea Leoni and Paz Vega. In 2010, Brooks wrote and directed the film How Do You Know, starring Reese Witherspoon, Owen Wilson, Paul Rudd, and Jack Nicholson.Brooks's company, Gracie Films has produced numerous films and television shows since it was formed in 1990. On the television side, the company produces the long-running hit, The Simpsons, as well as producing the Tracey Ullman Show, What About Joan?, and The Critic. On the feature side – Brooks has executive produced the feature film, Say Anything, produced War of the Roses, and co-produced Big. In 1996, Brooks executive produced the film Bottle Rocket, directed by Wes Anderson, and produced Cameron Crowe's Oscar®-winning Jerry Maguire, starring Tom Cruise, Cuba Gooding Jr., and Renee Zellweger. In addition, Brooks produced Penny Marshall's Riding in Cars with Boys, starring Drew Barrymore, and produced the film Edge of Seventeen, written and directed by Kelly Fremon Craig for STX Productions. In addition, Brooks co-wrote and produced The Simpsons Movie, the movie version of the Fox hit.
Oh, Jerry Maguire—the 1996 rom-com/sports drama hybrid we didn't know we needed but now can't live without. Tom Cruise plays a slick sports agent who has a midlife moral crisis, writes a manifesto (sorry, mission statement), gets immediately fired, and walks out of the office with nothing but a goldfish and Renée Zellweger. Meanwhile, Cuba Gooding Jr. yells “Show me the money!” enough times to win an Oscar and become a pop culture icon overnight. It's a movie that gave us more catchphrases than a 90s infomercial and somehow convinced us that an awkward kid with spiky hair whispering “Did you know the human head weighs 8 pounds?” was adorable. This week on Totally 80's and 90's Recall, Dave, Rob, and the movie hound Kurt dig into the world of agents, ethics, and emotionally confused football players. They ask the important questions: Was Jerry a visionary or just bad at his job? Was Rod Tidwell actually worth the contract? And how did Jonathan Lipnicki steal every single scene he was in? From Bruce Springsteen's “Secret Garden” to the best/worst use of a "you complete me" line ever uttered, the guys break down the laughs, the love, and the late-90s awkwardness in a way only they can. So grab your memo, your fish, and your mentor's gold card—you're gonna want to hear this.

This week on "Forgotten Cinema", the Mikes take a wrong turn into "Judgment Night" (1993), a gritty urban thriller starring Emilio Estevez, Cuba Gooding Jr., Jeremy Piven, and Denis Leary.While both Mike Field and Mike Butler agree the film is well made and well acted, they also agree it's held back by a clunky script and characters who make some truly baffling decisions. And while Denis Leary brings energy to the role, let's just say he's not exactly convincing as a hardened villain from the “hood”.Still, there's a solid thriller buried beneath the bad choices, questionable casting, and one of the most iconic genre soundtracks of the ‘90s. The bones are there, but does Judgment Night live or die by its execution?What's your favorite gritty 90's film? Or, had you ever heard of "Judgement Night"? Let us know in the comments below!
A Few Good Men is a powerhouse military courtroom drama directed by Rob Reiner, starring Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, and Demi Moore. The story follows hotshot Navy lawyer Lt. Daniel Kaffee (Cruise), who's known for cutting plea deals rather than seeing the inside of a courtroom. But when two Marines are accused of murdering a fellow Marine at Guantanamo Bay, Kaffee is pushed into a case that's way bigger than he's used to. As he digs deeper—alongside Lt. Cmdr. JoAnne Galloway (Moore)—they uncover a dangerous code of silence, a culture of obedience, and the possible involvement of high-ranking officials, including the fearsome Col. Nathan R. Jessup (Nicholson). The tension builds to a legendary courtroom showdown that gave us one of the most iconic movie lines of the '90s: "You can't handle the truth!" The film is a blend of sharp dialogue, big personalities, and moral complexity, making it one of the defining dramas of the early '90s. Cruise brings his signature intensity, while Nicholson delivers a performance that's equal parts terrifying and mesmerizing. The cast also includes Kevin Bacon, Kiefer Sutherland, and Cuba Gooding Jr. in a small but memorable role. A Few Good Men doesn't just serve military courtroom drama—it dives into themes of honor, duty, and justice in a rigid chain-of-command environment. It's exactly the kind of film Dave, Rob, and Kurt can sink their teeth into on Totally 80's and 90's Recall, packed with quotable lines, powerhouse performances, and that unmistakable early-'90s prestige film vibe.

This week on Shat the Movies, we're cracking open Instinct (1999), the psychological thriller where Anthony Hopkins goes full jungle hermit and Cuba Gooding Jr. tries to figure out why. It's part Gorillas in the Mist, part Good Will Hunting, and totally off the rails. Tune in as we try to make sense of the madness, the monkeys, and the message! Plot SummaryYears after he goes missing in the jungles of Africa, anthropologist Ethan Powell (Anthony Hopkins) resurfaces when it's discovered that he has murdered two poachers who were killing the gorillas he was studying. After spending an extended time living with the primates and without any human contact, Powell seems to be unhinged, and psychiatrist Theo Caulder (Cuba Gooding Jr.) is called in to try to get through to the withdrawn and angry man, who may be wiser and saner than he appears.

In this memorandum, the plaintiff in the federal case against Sean Combs and others seeks court approval to serve defendants Cuba Gooding Jr. and Justin Dior Combs via publication. The plaintiff argues that despite extensive efforts—including personal service attempts at multiple verified addresses, formal and informal waiver requests, professional skip-trace investigations, physical surveillance, and over $1,000 in service-related expenses—both defendants have deliberately evaded service. The plaintiff contends that traditional methods have been exhausted and that service by publication in widely circulated newspapers like the New York Times and Los Angeles Times is now necessary to proceed with the case.The motion emphasizes that both defendants are aware of the lawsuit: Mr. Gooding has discussed it publicly, and Mr. Combs' father, Sean Combs, has been served and is actively litigating. The plaintiff asserts that the defendants' avoidance tactics are intentional strategies to frustrate the judicial process and avoid accountability in a serious federal lawsuit alleging sexual abuse, trafficking, and related claims. Citing precedents where courts have allowed alternate service methods for high-profile individuals residing in gated communities, the plaintiff urges the court to authorize service by publication to ensure the case can move forward without further delay.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.616406.91.2.pdf

It's Die Hard on an ice cream truck!I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! This week on DIE HARD ON A BLANK, we're trying to keep our collective cool as we discuss the 1999 buddy-comedy/action-misfire CHILL FACTOR! Joining us on our adventure is none other than special guest Matthew Strohl, a professor at the University of Montana and author of the books Hard to Watch and Why It's Ok To Love Bad Movies! When an experimental military chemical weapon nicknamed "Elvis" accidentally falls into civilian hands, a hapless ice cream truck driver (Cuba Gooding Jr.) and down-on-his-luck diner cook (Skeet Ulrich) team up to keep it away from the ruthless mercenaries who are trying to steal it. The catch is that if "Elvis" heats above 50 degrees, it will detonate with catastrophic consequences – forcing the unlikely duo to outrun the bad guys and keep the temperature under that threshold, all while attempting to safely deliver the precarious device to a military facility! We start by analyzing the film's DNA, which includes genetic links to a myriad of movies including DIE HARD, SPEED, THE ROCK, THELMA & LOUISE, and most surprisingly, A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT. Backed by Matt's spirited defense case, we try to give this much maligned (and largely forgotten) motion picture its day in court, applying the thesis espoused in his excellent books to the film. Against the odds, this approach leads to a passionate (and unexpectedly deep) discussion about how we choose to engage with art…as CHILL FACTOR becomes a living example of “why it's okay to love to bad movies”! But the fun doesn't stop there...because as always we wrap things up with the DIE HARD OSCARS and the DOUBLE JEOPARDY trivia quiz!CHILL FACTOR trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYNiikB4wvIAt the time of release, CHILL FACTOR is available to rent or buy on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV/iTunes, YouTube, Fandango and all the usual platforms, as well as on physical media.

In the March 2025 Opinion and Order for case Rodney Jones v. Sean Combs et al. (24-CV-1457), Judge J. Paul Oetken ruled on motions to dismiss brought by Sean Combs and several co-defendants. While five of Jones's seventeen claims were dismissed—including claims under the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) and Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) against Combs Global and Love Records—multiple key allegations were allowed to proceed. These surviving claims include sexual assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and premises liability against Sean Combs, Kristina Khorram, Justin Combs, Cuba Gooding Jr., and Jane Doe 1 (allegedly “Yung Miami's cousin”). The court found that many of Jones's accusations, including being drugged, sexually assaulted, and trafficked across state and international lines, were sufficiently detailed to survive the defendants' efforts to have the case dismissed entirely.The ruling outlines severe and graphic allegations, including incidents where Jones claims he was sexually assaulted, manipulated, and trafficked while working closely with Sean Combs between 2022 and 2023. Jones alleges Combs used power and influence in the music industry to coerce him into unwanted sexual activity, promising professional success in return. The complaint details incidents in Los Angeles, Miami, New York, the US Virgin Islands, and Saint-Barthélemy, including claims of being drugged, groped, and assaulted by Combs and others in his circle. The court emphasized that while some claims lacked sufficient legal basis or specificity, the core allegations—particularly those describing direct physical and psychological abuse—were compelling enough to proceed to discovery and potentially trial.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:24cv1457 Jones v Combs MTD Opn.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

These surviving claims include sexual assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and premises liability against Sean Combs, Kristina Khorram, Justin Combs, Cuba Gooding Jr., and Jane Doe 1 (allegedly “Yung Miami's cousin”). The court found that many of Jones's accusations, including being drugged, sexually assaulted, and trafficked across state and international lines, were sufficiently detailed to survive the defendants' efforts to have the case dismissed entirely.The ruling outlines severe and graphic allegations, including incidents where Jones claims he was sexually assaulted, manipulated, and trafficked while working closely with Sean Combs between 2022 and 2023. Jones alleges Combs used power and influence in the music industry to coerce him into unwanted sexual activity, promising professional success in return. The complaint details incidents in Los Angeles, Miami, New York, the US Virgin Islands, and Saint-Barthélemy, including claims of being drugged, groped, and assaulted by Combs and others in his circle. The court emphasized that while some claims lacked sufficient legal basis or specificity, the core allegations—particularly those describing direct physical and psychological abuse—were compelling enough to proceed to discovery and potentially trial.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:24cv1457 Jones v Combs MTD Opn.pdf

Zo was invited by his friends in Chicago to attend a live boxing match. He declined not wanting to deal with the traffic. He later learned that there would've been more than just traffic to deal with. Besides getting stuck in the aforementioned traffic and getting into a fender bender in their borrowed RV trying to get out of that bumper to bumper headache, Zo's friends also got lost in the city taking an unfamiliar route to the stadium, accidently hit a pedestrian with the RV, got the RV banged up and stuck in a narrow alley, witnessed the murder of that same pedestrian by some gangsters, and spent most of their night running for their lives from those psychopathic killers! It seemed like the kind of tribulations that people would have to deal with on Judgement Day.

Movie of the Year: 1996Jerry Maguire (feat. Melinda Clarke and CG Mirich!)Breaking Down Jerry Maguire on the Movie of the Year PodcastThe Movie of the Year podcast takes a deep dive into Jerry Maguire (1996), a film that blends sports, romance, and sharp critiques of capitalism into a compelling character study. As part of their exploration of the best movies of 1996, the hosts analyze what makes Jerry Maguire an enduring classic, how it functions as a romantic comedy, and the way it critiques corporate culture. Movie fans and podcast listeners alike will enjoy this lively discussion that revisits one of Tom Cruise's most iconic roles.Special Guests: Melinda Clarke and CG MirichThis episode of Movie of the Year features special guests Melinda Clarke and CG Mirich, who bring fresh perspectives to the discussion. Clarke, known for her work in television and film, offers insight into the industry's portrayal of romance and career struggles, while Mirich provides a deep dive into the film's thematic relevance today. Their contributions add depth to the conversation, making this episode a must-listen for Jerry Maguire fans and film enthusiasts alike.Jerry Maguire: A Lasting Cultural LandmarkThe episode begins by exploring Jerry Maguire's legacy in pop culture. The film, directed by Cameron Crowe, remains one of the most quotable movies of the '90s, thanks to lines like “Show me the money!” and “You complete me.” The podcast hosts discuss how these catchphrases took on a life of their own, transcending the film and becoming embedded in everyday conversations. They also examine Tom Cruise's performance, arguing that it represents a perfect blend of his charm, intensity, and comedic timing, solidifying Jerry Maguire as one of his defining roles. Additionally, they explore how the film's impact on pop culture extends to sports, relationships, and even business philosophy.Jerry Maguire as a Romantic ComedyWhile Jerry Maguire is often categorized as a sports drama, the hosts argue that it functions just as effectively as a romantic comedy. The podcast breaks down the chemistry between Cruise's Jerry and Renée Zellweger's Dorothy Boyd, highlighting how their relationship evolves throughout the film. The discussion touches on the film's heartfelt moments, its unconventional approach to romance, and how it both embraces and subverts rom-com tropes. The panel debates whether Jerry Maguire delivers a satisfying romantic arc or if its sports and business themes overshadow the love story. The hosts also compare the film to other romantic comedies of the 1990s to determine its place within the genre.Capitalism and Morality in Jerry MaguireAnother major theme explored in the podcast episode is Jerry Maguire's critique of capitalism. The film follows Jerry's moral awakening after he writes a mission statement advocating for personal relationships over profits—only to be fired by his corporate sports agency. The hosts analyze how the film presents the tension between personal integrity and financial success. They also discuss Cuba Gooding Jr.'s portrayal of Rod Tidwell, a character who fully embraces the system while also demanding personal respect, adding layers to the film's message about money, loyalty, and self-worth. Additionally, they explore how Jerry Maguire compares to other films that critique capitalism, such as Wall Street or The Wolf of Wall Street.How Jerry Maguire Holds Up in Modern CinemaThe Movie of the Year hosts reflect on whether...
Thirty years ago this month, acclaimed director Wolfgang Petersen (Das Boot, Air Force One, The Perfect Storm) gave us a terrifying viral thriller which at the time MIGHT have seemed like pure fiction....but WAS it? :o Well regardless it was a big hit and featured a stacked cast featuring Oscar-winners Dustin Hoffman, Morgan Freeman, Kevin Spacey, and Cuba Gooding Jr plus Rene Russo and the late, great Donald Sutherland. (How did those last two never receive Oscar nominations??) A brand new deadly virus has travelled from overseas via an innocent monkey who stowed away on a shipping barge....and that monkey has landed in Southern California....and this virus has started to spread around one truly unfortunate isolated small town. People are dying as the virus mutates and the only folks who can stop it are a team of Army doctors who have to figure out how to find a cure. It's all very '90's though very scary nonetheless....and remember to wash your hands!

This week, help us help you show you the money, as we dive in to the world of sports agents and romance with a 90s rom-com classic starring a man who frankly completes us on this podcast. It's 1996's Jerry Maguire, written and directed by Cameron Crowe and starring Tom Cruise, Renée Zellweger, Cuba Gooding Jr., Kelly Preston, Bonnie Hunt, Jerry O'Connell, Jay Mohr, Todd Louiso and Jonathan Lipnicki. A throwback to an era when Crowe actually made great films (or any films at all), this one's got plenty of charming and funny performances and almost more plot than it's 2h20m runtime even knows what to do with, and we get into the nitty-gritty as to whether Rod Tidwell's NFL free agency arc even makes sense in reality. Plus: J Mo's got another theatrical field report fresh off of a Valentine's trip to see Heart Eyes! If you'd like to watch the movie before listening along to our conversation, Jerry Maguire is currently streaming on Crave, Starz, and free with ads on the CTV app in Canada at the time of publication.

That film can currently be found streaming in Canada on Disney+, Crave, Starz and Hollywood Suite. Until then, we'll see you at the movies!!
While best known for her seeming nonstop flow of hit albums and singles throughout the 70's and 80's, Melba made cultural history long before that, beginning her performing career as Dionne in the original cast of the musical Hair while becoming the first black woman to replace a white actress (future film star Diane Keaton) in a featured role on Broadway. In 1970, the same year her debut album I Got Love earned her a Best New Artist Grammy nomination, she won a Tony Award for Best Performance by a Featured Actress in a Musical for her portrayal of Lutibelle in Purlie – a role she would later reprise in the 1981 TV adaptation for Showtime. Soon after the success of “The Melba Moore/Clifton Davis Show,” she signed with Buddha Records, where she scored the Top Ten Billboard dance hits “This is It” and “Make Me Believe in You” and the Grammy nominated Top 20 R&B smash “Lean on Me.” Signing to Capitol in the early 80s, Melba enjoyed a second prolific decade of success with Billboard Top Ten R&B albums like Never Say Never and A Lot of Love and many hit singles, including “Love's Comin' At Ya” and the #1 hits “A Little Bit More” with Freddie Jackson and “Falling,” a hypnotic ballad featuring one of the longest held notes (nearly 20 seconds!) in recorded history. In addition, Melba's 1985 hit “Read My Lips” earned her a third Grammy nod (for Best Female Rock Performance), making her only the third Black artist after Donna Summer and Michael Jackson to be nominated in a rock category. Some of her highlights in the 2000s include an appearance in the film The Fighting Temptations (starring Cuba Gooding Jr. and Beyonce) and a role in a production of Ain't Misbehavin'. Imagine is the title track to Melba's latest (and 28th overall) album offers an optimistic vision of global love and unity during a particularly fraught sociopolitical era.

Radio is a powerful example of why being different doesn't mean being wrong—and how society often struggles with that distinction. Based on a true story, the film follows the relationship between high school football coach Harold Jones (played by Ed Harris) and a young man with an intellectual disability, James Robert “Radio” Kennedy (played by Cuba Gooding Jr.). Initially an outcast in the community, Radio is taken under Coach Jones's wing, gradually becoming a beloved figure at the school. The film ultimately teaches that just because someone doesn't fit traditional expectations doesn't mean they're wrong or less than. True strength lies in compassion, and real leadership is about lifting others up rather than shutting them out. Radio encourages us to rethink our biases and embrace people for who they are, not just for how they compare to societal norms. Takeaways: Education should be student focussed Everyone should have a chance to learn One person can change a community About Meredith Watassek: Meredith Watassek joined Stantec as an Education Planner after more than 24 years in Education. The last nine years of her career as an educator, she served as Director of Career and Technical Education (CTE) for the sixth largest school district in Texas. Meredith has guided dozens of Stantec clients through the engagement process on projects while simultaneously leading planning and specifications development for future academic spaces. Several of her most recent projects include School Master Planning for Alvin Community College, visioning and design of the Career and Technical Education Center for Lamar CISD, and School Master Planning and Specifications for Salteaux First Nations in Saskatchewan, Canada. Before joining Stantec, Meredith oversaw Stantec's design and execution of the James Reese Career and Technical Education Center for Fort Bend Independent School District in Sugar Land, TX, defining program and project scope for the new facility. With a rich background in CTE, Meredith can communicate with educators in a way that architects cannot; because she's been in their shoes, at the front of a classroom, managing both success factors and the student experience. She believes that learning environments shape a student's experience, even if just passively. It is inside schools that students develop beliefs about their ability to be successful. For this reason, Meredith maintains that designers, planners, architects, and contractors have a responsibility to provide the most nurturing environment possible for students.

Mr. Untouchable, a 2007 documentary directed by Marc Levin, describes the rise and fall of former New York City drug kingpin, Leroy (“Nicky”) Barnes. In the early 1970s, Barnes formed “The Council,” an organized crime syndicate that controlled a significant part of the heroin trade in Harlem. Inspired by the Italian-American mafia, Barnes became one of the most powerful and notorious figures in New York City. A flashy and flamboyant fixture on the free-wheeling social scene of the period, Barnes quickly drew the attention of law enforcement. After several unsuccessful state prosecution attempts, Barnes, along with multiple other associates, was indicted by federal prosecutors in New York in 1977. Barnes was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment. Barnes, however, was released in 1998, in exchange for working as a government informant, and entered the Witness Protection Program, where he remained until his death in 2012. Barnes was also depicted in Ridley Scott's 2007 film American Gangster, which starred Denzel Washington as Frank Lucas, another notorious drug kingpin from the era. Cuba Gooding Jr. portrayed Barnes in that film. Joining me to talk about Mr. Untouchable and the Nicky Barnes case is Robert B. Fiske, Jr., Senior Counsel at Davis Polk in New York, where he previously served as litigation partner for many years. Bob Fiske is one of the most prominent and respected trial lawyers in America. He has been involved in some of the most notable cases of the last half-century, including as special prosecutor in the Whitewater controversy and the death of White House counsel Vince Foster, the Three Mile Island nuclear disaster, the antitrust suit between the USFL and. NFL, the most contentious America's Cup ever, and the financial swindler Bernie Madoff. Mr. Fiske also served as the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York from 1976 to 1980, during which time he led the prosecution of Nicky Barnes.

A Murder of Time - The old "write a best-selling novel and give it to your enemy for revenge" caper "A Murder of Crows" is a nonsensical thriller that manages to take an interesting premise and turn it into a complete mess. The plot centers around a "corrupt" lawyer named Lawson, played by Cuba Gooding Jr., who, after being framed for a murder he didn't commit, goes down a rabbit hole of trying to find out who did it. Rather than doing the smart thing—turning the evidence over to the authorities—he decides to get involved in a ridiculous scheme to clear his name. What follows is a convoluted, poorly paced disaster that defies logic at every turn. First off, the characters are flat and unconvincing. Lawson, somehow manages to look both confused and smug throughout the entire movie. The villain is so dubious, it's hard to take the stakes seriously. There's no sense of tension or urgency in the narrative—just a series of random, out-of-place events that feel forced and contrived. The dialogue is clunky, and the attempts at deep philosophical musings on fate and justice come off as completely hollow. The plot twists? They're ridiculous. Rather than being suspenseful, they're more likely to make you roll your eyes and wonder how the filmmakers managed to stretch such a thin idea into a feature-length film. The whole premise is absurd. From the moment the movie starts, it feels like the writers took a random collection of crime clichés and decided to throw them together without any real thought. It's hard to understand who this film was made for—perhaps the genre's most diehard fans who are willing to suspend all reason, but for anyone else, it's a frustrating and pointless experience. "A Murder of Crows" is a poorly executed thriller that doesn't deserve your time. Save yourself the trouble and skip it.
Rat Race. No, I'm not referring to the 2001 film starring Rowan Atkinson, John Cleese, and Cuba Gooding Jr. I'm referring to that trap many of us fall into. Wikipedia says a rat race is an endless, self-defeating, or pointless pursuit. The phrase equates humans to rats attempting to earn a reward such as cheese, in vain. Don't get me wrong, this is not entirely bad. After all, our career is how we earn our income and our income is how we provide for our family. Providing for our family is honorable, right? Yes, of course it is. I think we all have a desire to create a better life for those we love that is better than the one we ourselves have experienced.

His presidency was marked by challenges like the Iran hostage crisis and inflation, but he later built a humanitarian legacy, earning a Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. A Georgia native and former peanut farmer, Carter rose from obscurity to become the 39th president, focusing on energy efficiency and international diplomacy. After leaving office, he founded the Carter Center, promoting human rights and democracy. Carter was also a prolific author and active with Habitat for Humanity. He is survived by his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. STORY 2: Cobb School Board Chairman Looks Back on Term Randy Scamihorn, serving his fourth term as chairman of the Cobb County Board of Education, navigated a year marked by both controversy and success. The board faced ongoing debates over book removals and transparency, while celebrating achievements like rising test scores and the expansion of the Cobb Innovation and Technology Academy. Scamihorn emphasized fiscal responsibility, notably in the decision to halt a $50 million event center project. The district also focused on safety, partnering with Servius Group for threat assessments. Despite partisan tensions, Scamihorn remains committed to prioritizing student success and maintaining Republican leadership on the board. STORY 3: Pet Food Co. Recalls Cat Food Contaminated with Bird Flu Northwest Naturals, an Oregon-based pet food company, has recalled its raw frozen turkey cat food after it tested positive for bird flu, linked to a cat's death in Oregon. The recall affects two-pound bags of Feline Turkey Recipe sold in multiple states, including Georgia, with "best if used by" dates from May 21 to June 23, 2026. The H5N1 strain was found in both the product and the infected cat. Consumers are advised to discard the product and seek refunds.

STORY 5: Judge rules Georgia lawmakers can subpoena Willis A judge has allowed the Georgia state Senate to subpoena Fulton County DA Fani Willis in its probe of her role in the election interference case against Donald Trump. Willis has until Jan. 13 to contest the subpoenas, which she claims are overly broad. The subpoenas were issued by a Senate committee investigating alleged misconduct.

Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: Georgia Leaders React to Jimmy Carter's Passing Following the death of former President Jimmy Carter, tributes poured in from Georgia leaders. Governor Brian Kemp highlighted Carter's impact as Georgia's only president and his contributions to civil rights and global health. U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff praised Carter's dedication to democracy and human rights. Senator Raphael Warnock remembered Carter as a moral leader and personal hero. Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and Lt. Governor Burt Jones emphasized Carter's lifelong service and commitment to peace. All expressed condolences to the Carter family, celebrating his legacy of public service and humanitarian efforts. STORY 2: Jackson EMC Foundation awards $42K to agencies serving Gwinnett County residents The Jackson EMC Foundation awarded $137,000 in grants, with $42,000 benefiting Gwinnett County organizations. Recipients include Adventure Bags, Inc. ($15,000) for comfort bags for displaced children, Family Promise of Gwinnett, Inc. ($15,000) for its Promise Haven Shelter Program aiding homeless families, and Neighborhood Meals on Wheels, Inc. ($12,000) for a refrigerator and freezer to store food for seniors. These grants are funded by the Operation Round Up program, where members' bills are rounded up, contributing over $21 million to local communities since 2005. Applications for grants are open to individuals and organizations in the 10 counties served by Jackson EMC. STORY 3: Gwinnett school board may stop broadcasting public comments from meetings Gwinnett County's school board is considering a policy change to stop recording public comments at meetings, meaning they won't be available online or on TV. This proposal, tabled until January, would limit public access to comments unless recorded by attendees. The change also proposes replacing public comment on agenda items with a period for student comments only. Community members, like Steve Smith and Terri Stalker, have expressed concerns about reduced transparency and the loss of parental input before votes. The delay allows new board members Rachel Stone and Steve Gasper to participate in the decision-making process. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

We’ll be right back Break 2: 08.05.24 OBITS_FINAL STORY 4: 'Transformative' Grant Helps Georgia Gwinnett College Expand HACER program Georgia Gwinnett College (GGC) has received a transformative grant from The Goizueta Foundation to enhance student success initiatives over the next three years. The funding will expand the Hispanic Achievers Committed to Excellence in Results (HACER) program, supporting Hispanic students through linked courses and internships. Additionally, it will launch the P-12 Teacher Workforce Program to address teacher shortages by attracting and supporting diverse education students. These initiatives aim to improve academic and professional outcomes for GGC's diverse student body, with plans starting in fall 2025. The grant underscores GGC's commitment to education and workforce development. STORY 5: Looking Back At 2024: Trump turns tables on Georgia Democrats In 2024, Georgia's political landscape was dominated by former President Donald Trump's victory, reclaiming the state's 16 electoral votes from Democrats. This marked a significant shift after President Joe Biden's 2020 win. Additionally, two major crimes influenced state legislative agendas: the murder of nursing student Laken Riley at the University of Georgia and a mass shooting at a Barrow County high school that resulted in four deaths. These events shaped the political discourse and priorities under the Gold Dome throughout the year.

In this episode we delve into the mounting allegations against Sean "Diddy" Combs, a music mogul and cultural icon whose legacy is now marred by accusations of sexual assault, trafficking, and coercion. As the lawsuits pile up, other prominent figures have been named, revealing a much wider web of alleged abuse, complicity, and silence in the entertainment industry. We explore the detailed allegations against not just Diddy, but other key individuals drawn into the legal battles. Aaron Hall, a once-renowned R&B singer, allegedly assaulted a minor alongside Diddy in the 1990s. Harve Pierre, former president of Bad Boy Entertainment, faces allegations of trafficking and gang rape. Kristina Khorram, Diddy's chief of staff, is accused of enabling his alleged abuses, while Cuba Gooding Jr. has been implicated in a separate assault claim linked to Diddy's social circles. Even Diddy's sons, Justin Dior Combs and Christian Combs, are allegedly tied to illicit activities at their father's parties. High-profile jeweler Jacob Arabov, known as "Jacob the Jeweler," is also implicated in allegations of coercion at one of Diddy's notorious "White Parties." Joseph “Big Joe” Sherman, Diddy's former bodyguard, faces serious accusations from Thalia Graves, who claims both he and Diddy assaulted her in 2001. R&B star DeVante Swing is alleged to have witnessed and participated in some of these acts. As the cases continue to unfold, the accusations paint a troubling portrait of abuse, manipulation, and the unchecked power of one of music's most influential figures. The episode takes you through the intricate stories of each individual accused or implicated, exploring the alleged culture of silence and complicity that allowed this behavior to continue for decades. With each new revelation, the once-glamorous world of hip-hop is increasingly exposed for its darker undercurrents, leaving many to wonder how these allegations will ultimately reshape the legacies of those involved. For now, the accusers continue their fight for justice, while the outcome of these high-profile cases remains uncertain. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
