Happy Thursday! We talk lots of college football with ESPNs Adam Rittenberg, we're getting an all-Ohio hoops exhibition tourney, we chat about Culver's customer service & getting ice cream dumped on you, we discuss the USPS & doing away with cards, an arsonist starts a fire with his penis & we give you some Too Hot audio.

After a week off due to bad public transit, the boys are back for another episode of controversy in college football! But first, they had to finish up the logos of the MAC because Kev is an idiot, before diving into EA adding microtransactions into Road to Glory and Dynasty modes of CFB 27. Later, they discussed the Big 12 selling out a corporate sponsor in Monster Energy (bad), and Wisconsin selling out to a corporate sponsor in Culver's (good). They would then discuss the latest uniform changes for Penn State, Nebraska, Northwestern, Notre Dame, and Georgia Tech, as well as the South Carolina garnet to crimson controversy. Finally, the boys dove into the Sun Belt logo history, and Kev said something so bad about one of the school's logos he had to actually edit an episode!

Charlie Goldsmith joins for the weekly Reds segment to recap the goings on with the team and why they're struggling.

The gang is heading outside for Operation Food Search, and what should be a simple canned food drive somehow turns into a full-blown carnival complete with megaphones, competitive donation strategies, and Riz spiraling because someone else might have to run the show for a few minutes. Turns out our fearless leader may, in fact, be a tiny bit of a control freak. Tiny. Like, billboard-sized tiny.Then the crew tackles life's biggest questions: Why is Gen Z suddenly obsessed with Culver's? What fast-food logo deserves permanent tattoo status? And would you wear an actual diaper just to hold your spot in the front row of a concert? The answers somehow involve Daft Punk, Led Zeppelin, George Strait, Alan Jackson, and enough bathroom-related discussion to make everyone slightly uncomfortable.There's also a trip through celebrity news and pop culture chaos, including Apple Music's most-streamed artists, Olivia Rodrigo fans apparently treating concerts like endurance sports, Chris Pratt teaching American history with comedy, and Toy Story 5 preparing to emotionally devastate all of us.Along the way, the crew pays tribute to entertainment legends, debates the most American songs of all time, and once again proves that no topic is too ridiculous for this show. One second it's Tom Hanks discussing a scene he can't watch in Cast Away, and the next it's arguing whether Free Fallin' is the perfect road-trip anthem.This is exactly what happens when a bunch of friends gather around microphones and let their brains go wherever they want. It's messy, sarcastic, occasionally heartfelt, and entirely unpredictable.In other words, it's your favorite daily comedy.Whether you're here for the celebrity gossip, the weird stories, the random debates, or simply to hear grown adults seriously discuss diaper strategy at concerts, this daily comedy delivers another beautifully chaotic episode.Thanks for hanging out with The Rizzuto Show, the daily comedy where every conversation somehow goes completely off the rails and everybody's invited.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://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.

On this week's Extra Serving, NRN editor in chief Sam Oches and executive editor Alicia Kelso discuss the latest restaurant industry news, including Cracker Barrel's newfound momentum, KFC's ongoing revitalization, and a menu innovation boom across the industry. First up is Cracker Barrel, which is continuing in its comeback after last year's controversial rebrand derailed growth. In its most recent quarter, Cracker Barrel experienced a same-store sales decline of 2.6% and traffic decline of 6.7% — not great, but better than expected and enough for the company to raise its guidance for the year. Sam and Alicia discuss why this is good news for Cracker Barrel and how CEO Julie Felss Masino has made the right moves to get this brand back on track. Next they tackle KFC, which has experienced three consecutive quarters of same-store sales growth after seven straight negative quarters. KFC's U.S. president Catherine Tan-Gillespie spoke with Alicia about the keys to that reversal, and Alicia shares those details on the pod, plus she and Sam talk about how KFC is competing within an ever-more-competitive chicken category. Then they shift attention to menu innovation across the restaurant industry, which has recently seen a lot of brands expand into new menu platforms — for example, Freddy's bowl introduction, Sweetgreen's wraps, and Crisp & Green's sandwiches. Sam and Alicia talk about how these new menu introductions could help chains, and they discuss beef prices in particular, which could climb higher with rise of the flesh-eating screwworm. Finally, we share an interview between senior food and beverage editor Bret Thorn and Culver's head of culinary, Kasey McDonald.For more on these stories:Cracker Barrel says recovery from logo fallout is ahead of scheduleKFC brings its Supergirl collaboration on the roadCarbs be damned, Crisp & Green is adding sandwiches

Farm+Food+Facts host Joanna Guza talks with Adam Shrif, Vice-President of Supply Chain at Culver's. They discuss supply chain management (especially as it relates to it's beef supply), how data enhances its guest experience, and the importance of farmers and ranchers to Culver's growth strategy. Adam spotlighted the Thank you Farmers Project and Culver's commitment to USFRA.  To stay connected with USFRA, join our newsletter and become involved in our efforts, here.

Ted Bundy spent ten years on death row making absolutely sure of one thing: that the country would never get the why.The Chi Omega trial in Miami, summer 1979 — the first criminal trial broadcast nationally on American television — was his stage. He fired his attorneys. He rehired them. He fired them again. He cross-examined witnesses, including Nita Neary, the woman who had seen him on the stairs. The bite mark evidence cut through all of it. Guilty. Sentenced to death.Judge Edward Cowart called him a bright young man and a tragedy, on the record, in front of the cameras.In Orlando in January 1980, during his trial for Kimberly Leach, he proposed to Carole Ann Boone on the witness stand with a notary in the room. Convicted. Third death sentence.Death row. Florida State Prison. Nine years. Two journalists, Stephen Michaud and Hugh Aynesworth, recorded him for hundreds of hours. He would only profile the killer in the third person. FBI Agent Bill Hagmaier visited for three years and became something close to a confidant.In his final week, Bundy summoned detectives from four states and handed them women's names like currency. Healy. Manson. Rancourt. Campbell. Cunningham. Culver. Kent. When Hagmaier asked if thirty-six was closer to the real number, Bundy said: add one more digit and you have it.On January 24, 1989, he was pronounced dead at 7:16. A field of several hundred people cheered the hearse.He gave the country a count he probably understated, an explanation he chose for the listener, and a confession he could keep at arm's length. What he never gave was the why.This is the fifth and final conversation in Ted Bundy: History's Hidden Killers. The women's names come last, because the last word is theirs.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Court pigs out on discarded M&M'S this week when author Maisie Culver (“Of Monsters and Menses”) pops “the question” (“are you a bad movie?”) to the 2001 romantic comedy “The Wedding Planner.” *** Prosecutor: Maynard Bangs. Defense: Maisie Culver. Judge: The Honorable Dylan J. Schlender. Jurors: Dylan J. Schlender, Ryan Luis Rodriguez, Big Ben Haslar. *** Advisory: Silvana Carranza. Prologue: Kirk R. Thatcher. Original Theme: WT Golden.What did you think of the verdict?

There's always room for a little more travelogue, right? Even when we're not traveling? Don't forget to choose your side in the In-N-Out vs. Culver's war kinetic action excursion! In other travel news, they opted not to sedate the president for his return trip to China. So you can anticipate a full day of Aaron Rupar clips of him damaging national security and the international geopolitical order. Well, if we're not traveloguing all day, then why not start the day instead with some lighthearted accusations of international espionage? It's yet another case of Billionaire Brainrot, as some guy who should have better things to do sets out in earnest to attack... some regular, normal people. Well, some Democrats from Utah, anyway. Why? Because AI profits, of course. Hey, remember when Republicans were just out to "relitigate Watergate?" And then the relitigators had their children's faces eat by leopards? No? Well, never mind, because as usual, we're way beyond that now. This is just the latest entry (but a good one that's worth your time) in the "revolutionary moment" discourse, there's another new data point that drives the theme home in a different way: 50 years after the unifying moment of the entire nation being captivated by the TV miniseries adapted from Roots, Knox County, TN (where a statue of the author Alex Haley stands today) is now banning the book from its school libraries. zOMFG. This may require a brief suspension of disbelief, but I do think we have a contender for Trump's most nakedly corrupt move so far. It was previously a different version of today's story, but the alleged diminution in value from $10 billion to a mere $1.7 billion didn't make it any less corrupt, in the end. (Nor does it preclude ratcheting the corruption back up to $10 billion, or indeed any other figure he'd like to imagine.) Yes, it's the Trump-sues-himself-and-then-orders-himself-to-settle-with-himself case. Only now it involves using the case to "fund" a sort of "victims' compensation fund," where the "victims" are anybody he'd like to give cash to. Oh, you wanna hear about more corruption? OK, fine. Them Duke Trump boys are miraculously always getting in just in time on investments that pay off big when their dad's government make decisions about major contract awards mere days after they buy in to the recipients of those contracts! And this time, they're doing it with a big play in Kazakh tungsten. Which I guess means dad won't be freeing up any Chinese tungsten on his trip. And some people are wondering whether the fact that deals like this always seem to involve defense contracts is the reason why they won't cut Whisky Pete Hic-seth loose. You want a story about dad's own corrupt stock plays? Well, I have one. Does it play into this week's GINA trip? Duh! Of course! His attention span isn't long enough to sustain anything else, you know. What about cronyism, though? Isn't there a corrupt cronyism story today? Yes, but it involves a connection to the other nation of 1 billion-plus, not the one he was visiting. But what about corruption, cronyism and pointless jingoism? Can we get a trifecta? Yes we can, to borrow and completely unfairly tar a perfectly good catchphrase. How about by "committing" to 250 pardons for America's 250th birthday? Definitely going to be corrupt (and crony-licious), because Trump. And by God, 250 of them really is pointlessly jingoistic. We've done it!

Chris Holman welcomes Scott Berman, Founder, Dining Ventures, East Lansing, MI. Dining Ventures, founded by operating partner Scott Berman around 2010, is a diverse hospitality group based in East Lansing that currently operates several brands including Culver's, Heist Grill, and three One North locations across Michigan. Berman originally conceived the company as a retirement plan but has since grown it into an active, expanding enterprise that also owns the American Bistro brand and a fast food concept called Ketchup still in development. Like many in the restaurant industry, Dining Ventures faces significant pressures from wage inflation, food costs, and legislation, though Berman emphasizes a company culture focused on being an employer of choice to navigate those challenges. Looking ahead, the company is pursuing a second Culver's location, exploring a potential restaurant partnership in a new downtown Lansing event center, and Berman plans to investigate franchising opportunities at the National Restaurant Association conference in May. » Visit MBN website: www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/ » Subscribe to MBN's YouTube: www.youtube.com/@MichiganbusinessnetworkMBN » Like MBN: www.facebook.com/mibiznetwork » Follow MBN: twitter.com/MIBizNetwork/ » MBN Instagram: www.instagram.com/mibiznetwork/

Story: Have It Your Way Author: leiascully Rating: Teen and Up Site link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/60268486 Read by: kristinsauter Summary: She sees the white and blue sign of a Culver's looming like an angel. Her stomach growls. On top of everything else, she's on her period, and the idea of a burger stokes a need deep inside her. “There,” she says. Used by the author's permission.

Send us Fan MailFast food opinions get personal fast, and we lean all the way into it. We start with the big four chains and rank Wendy's, McDonald's, Burger King, and Arby's based on what actually keeps people coming back: breakfast consistency, app deals, coupons that save your wallet, and whether the food matches the hype. If you care about McDonald's breakfast, Wendy's hit-or-miss streaks, or why Burger King “isn't hitting like it used to,” you'll feel seen.Then we widen the lane into the best fast food burgers conversation. We debate premium picks like Five Guys, talk Wendy's as a reliable burger option, and get into regional fast food legends, including In N Out Burger animal style, Checkers and Rally's, Culver's butter burger, and Whataburger. We also tackle the “are sandwich chains fast food” question, from Jersey Mike's and Subway to Penn Station and the difference between a chain sub and a true local deli sandwich.Nostalgia shows up big with McDonald's play places, Happy Meals, collectible toys, and the nuggets vs burger debate, plus a side quest into pickles that gets surprisingly heated. We finish with modern convenience and how DoorDash changes the whole fast food experience, then close on the only proper finale: milkshakes from McDonald's or Arby's versus a Wendy's Frosty, with a very real reminder that the McDonald's machine may never be working when you need it.Subscribe for more Ride Home Rants, share this with the friend who always orders the same thing, and leave a review with your most controversial fast food take.All music brought to you by former guest of the show SpeedoSubscribe for exclusive content: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1530455/support Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREETactical BrotherhoodThe Tactical Brotherhood is a movement to support America.Dubby EnergyFROM GAMERS TO GYM JUNKIES TO ENTREPRENEURS, OUR PRODUCT IS FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO BE BETTER.ShankitgolfOur goal here at Shankitgolf is for everyone to have a great time on and off the golf courseSweet Hands SportsElevate your game with Sweet Hands Sports!

In today's show, Dustin visits with USDA Meteorologist Brad Rippey, Riley talks with Iowa Food System Coalition Executive Director Tommy Hexter about the Iowa Local Food Challenge, and special correspondent Russ Parker visits with Culver's co-founder Craig Culver.

This week's episode drops a day earlier than usual - right as conference tournament semifinals begin, and D‑Fly and Dixie waste no time diving into the most pivotal stretch of the season. With half the country already done and the other half fighting for their postseason lives, they run through every conference with Inside Lacrosse editor‑in‑chief Matt Kinnear, breaking down favorites, upset formulas, and the ripple effects each result could have on Selection Sunday. From the ACC's star‑studded slugfest in Charlotte to Albany's push for another America East title to the A‑Sun's three‑way deadlock, the crew sorts out which teams are locks for May, which are bid‑stealers, and which storylines — like Duke's at‑large hopes — hinge on results happening hundreds of miles away.Michigan's leading scorer, sophomore attackman Nick Roode, joins the show for a wide‑ranging and genuinely fun conversation. He talks about growing up in Peterborough as the son of WWE and TNA star Bobby Roode, sharing stories about taking fan photos for his dad, watching him flip from hero to heel, and what it's like to have a parent who's famous everywhere except at home, where he's simply “Dad.”Nick walks through his path from Peterborough minor lacrosse to Culver Military Academy, explaining how box lacrosse shaped his game, how Culver's culture sharpened his discipline, and how a fall play day at Brother Rice unexpectedly put him on Michigan's radar. He reflects on battling injuries his first two seasons — including breaking his hand mid‑game against Maryland — and how being forced to watch, teach, and study film elevated his lacrosse IQ and prepared him for this breakout year.He also discusses Michigan's resilience after a seven‑game losing streak, the leadership group's emphasis on belief and process, and why the Wolverines feel like they're hitting their stride at exactly the right time. On the lighter side, Nick drafts an all‑Culver sixes team (heavy on Peterborough legends), reveals his devotion to buffalo chicken in all forms, and explains why Tommy Renner and Max Bonner are responsible for the most electric aux performances in the locker room.Matt, Mark and Dan of course spotlight the most compelling matchups of the week, including High Point–St. Joe's in the A‑10, Providence's chance to shake up the Big East, and a heavyweight Big Ten semifinal between Penn State and Maryland. With discussions ranging from Tewaaraton implications to faceoff‑driven upset potential to which teams are peaking at the right moment, the episode sets the table for a chaotic, high‑stakes weekend across Division I lacrosse.

Keith joins Jeff to talk about this year's VALE event.

It’s Friday Food Fight on The Wake Up Call, and this week the debate is all about the best fast‑food dessert. From Dairy Queen Blizzards and Culver’s Concrete Mixers to Wendy’s Frostys and McFlurrys, the crew weighs in while listeners from Fargo‑Moorhead and beyond light up the text line with strong opinions. Sweet takes, Midwest loyalty, and zero consensus — just the way a Food Fight should be.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Another warm one today with a high in the upper 70's. Might actually stay dry most of the day before more rain moves in on Friday. It's "Hypothetical Thursday", so we asked each other hypothetical questions. Brian's question for Jean was: "You're in the Matrix. And you can learn ONE skill just by downloading the info directly into your brain. What skill would you pick?" Jean's question for Brian was: "Which game show would you be on?" Office Cora joined us just after 8am to let us know what she's up to this weekend in the 715. And her Hypothetical Question for us was: "If you had unlimited funds, what's one thing you'd splurge on?" In the news this morning, an attempted kidnapping at a Walmart in Omaha, a hero principal at a school in Oklahoma tackles & subdues a potential shooter, a body was found in the Mississippi River in Trempealeau yesterday at the Lock & Dam 6, Ticketmaster is found guilty of creating a monopoly, and a hilarious video of a robot in Poland chasing after wild boars. In sports, the Brewers finally snapped their 6-game losing streak by beating the Blue Jays yesterday, the results of last night's NBA Play-In tournament games and a look at tomorrow night's final two play-in games, the latest on LIV Golf and the possibility that the league would lose it's funding from the Saudi Public Investment Fund, and Matt Crocker leaves U.S. Soccer just weeks before the World Cup is set to begin. We talked about what's on TV today/tonight and what stuff we've been watching. Nadia from the American Pie movies(Shannon Elizabeth) is apparently launching an OnlyFans account, and a lifejacket worn by a survivor from the Titanic is going up for auction and is expected to fetch an incredibly amount of money! Elsewhere in sports, MLB & the Minnesota Twins are investigating an incident between a fan & the Red Sox' Jarren Duran the other night, and Flames goalie Dustin Wolf makes it a VERY special night for one kid in the crowd recently. A homeless man in #Florida is being called a hero after helping save a lost boy return to his family. And a virologist from Croatia treated her own breast cancer! Yesterday was Tax Day…and we took a look at what people were planning to do with their return, should they get one. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a #FloridaWoman who was drunk & driving 123mph in her Toyota Supra, a #FloridaMan who has been driving around while masturbating, another guy in #Florida who got on the counter of a Culver's & mooned the staff, and a couple of women in Connecticut who got popped with a bunch of drugs.

Dr. Chris Culver, founder of Orange Sparrow, shares his journey from being bullied as a student to becoming an advocate for the science of kindness in education. After working in toxic school environments that led him to call an employee assistance helpline, Chris left traditional K-12 education to pursue a mission of making kindness go viral.Key takeaways:Kindness isn't just "kindergarten kindness" (sharing crayons, saying sorry) — it's a science backed by neuroscience that includes setting boundaries, honest communication, and empathyToday's Gen Z and Gen Alpha students crave human interaction but lack the skills — they need explicit modeling of collaboration and connectionSchools seeing improved test scores, decreased behaviors, and increased attendance when implementing kindness-based approachesLeaders should create clear cultural expectations, gather regular feedback (keep/start/stop surveys), and model vulnerabilityCulture-building isn't about pizza parties — it's about ensuring people feel seen, heard, valued, and respectedLinks: Orange SparrowScience of KindnessDr. Chris Culver LinkTreeLinked Leaders Bio Learn more about today's sponsors, Playworks, IXL, and Renaissance Learning:As a global leader in education technology operating in more than 110 countries, Renaissance is committed to providing educators with insights and resources to accelerate growth and help all students build a strong foundation for success.

P.T. Barnum realized very quickly that entertainment is currency and was one of the first to use outdoor mass media. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from Mom-and-Pop to major brands. Steven Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector and storyteller. I’m Steven’s sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today’s episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it’s us, but we’re highlighting ads we’ve written and produced for our clients. So here’s one of those. [Tommy Cool A/C & Plumbing Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to the Empire Builders Podcast, Dave Young here and alongside Steven Semple. And if you were going to tell what Steven’s role is in this and what my role is in this, if we were going to use a theme that revolved around today’s topic, it would be Steven is the ringmaster in center ring. Stephen Semple: That’s where you’re going? Okay. Dave Young: And I’m like the chief clown driving the clown car because that’s where I’d rather be. We’re going to talk about Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Bailey. Are we just talking about P.T. Barnum? Stephen Semple: We’re going to talk about P.T. Barnum because that’s really the origin of all of this is. Dave Young: P.T. Barnum. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: I mean, what a guy. And I’ve never read a biography or anything, but what I know is, I’m guessing that he maybe invented the three-ring circus, but it’s the kind of thing where, man, to me, what he invented was just constant distraction. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: Right? Like you go to a three-ring circus, it’s just going to be you’re going to be constantly distracted because you can’t see everything that happens in a three-ring circus. Stephen Semple: It’s true. Dave Young: And so there’s so many examples. We can talk about those. I’ll let you get going because I would just talk about all this stuff. Stephen Semple: Well, here’s the interesting thing. There’s a lot of historians who believe that his was the first use of mass outdoor advertising in America. Dave Young: Okay. That, I believe. Stephen Semple: Right? Dave Young: Sure. Stephen Semple: That he really invented the use of that as a medium. Couple of interesting things he went through. So his full name is Phineas Taylor Barnum, and he was born in Bethel, Connecticut in 1810. And he wasn’t born wealthy or talented or connected, but he kind of knew that attention was a form of currency. And it’s kind of interesting when we think about the world today with social media and things along that lines, attention is a form of currency. Dave Young: Oh, absolutely. Yeah. Stephen Semple: And by the age of 12, he was selling snacks, lottery tickets, anything he could do to make a buck. And he was quoted as saying, “I’m a showman by profession and all the gilding shall make nothing else of me,” right? Like he just basically saw those things. So his first commercial breakthrough, and it was also pretty controversial, was promoting Joice Heth, a Black woman, that he marketed as George Washington’s 161-year-old nurse. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: Guess what? It was not true. Dave Young: Well, so what year was this? When was this? Stephen Semple: 1835. Dave Young: Good grief. 1835. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: Yeah. But, but he was this relentless promoter who believed if there’s no story, there’s no audience. So the next thing he did was what he called the American Museum, and this started in 1841, ran from 1841 to 1865. And basically in 1841, he bought Scudder’s American Museum, and he renamed it Barnum’s American Museum in New York. And basically, again, this is considered one of the very first modern mass entertainment facilities, and here’s what he did. He exhibited things of science, oddity, theater, stunts. There was new attractions weekly, so people had to come back. And there was live performances like the General Tom Thumb, magicians, and the first use of mass outdoor advertising, went all around New York City putting up billboards, pasting billboards up all over the city. And on peak days, it’s reported that on peak days, he drew 15,000 people into a single building without electricity, AC, or cars to transport them around. 15,000 people. Dave Young: Boy. That’s amazing. Yeah. Stephen Semple: And Barnum would talk about people don’t want facts. People want astonishment. So for 25 years, this museum was really the epicenter in America for entertainment until it burned down in 1865. And he lost everything when it burned down. He built a second one. Five years later, it burned down, right? But Barnum realized he was going to reinvent himself again, this time as a public speaker, giving lectures. He did lectures on success and temperance of business. He wrote the book, The Art of Money-Getting. Dave Young: Okay. Yeah. Stephen Semple: In 1871, his biggest, final act was at age 61… So think about this. This is the 19th century, age 61, our age, he decides he’s going to launch the circus, P.T. Barnum’s Grand Traveling Museum, Menagerie, Caravan and Hippodrome. Dave Young: There’s nothing easy about that. Stephen Semple: Right. And this later merged with James Bailey’s to become Barnum and Bailey’s Greatest Show on Earth. Now, here’s the interesting thing that they did. So yeah, it was this massive traveling menagerie. They had to have trains custom-built to move elephants and equipment, and they had the world’s biggest circus tent and performers from all around the world. But the part that’s also really interesting is they had a team of people, who would travel into the towns ahead of them, and they would put up billboards, posters, promote the crap out of it, carnival barkers, all that other thing, and to the degree where even the setting up of the tents became a spectacle. Because, of course, they would use the elephants to raise the tent, and people would gather so they would hear so much about it. People would gather the day that it was coming into town to watch the tents and everything be put up. And he recognized that was part of the show. Dave Young: Yeah. Oh, yeah. Stephen Semple: Part of the show was long before they got there, and then they’re arriving, and then there’s the show, the buildup of all that energy and excitement to the show. And this was the other part I love about. So he would talk about you must capture the attention before you can persuade. So we talk about his Wizard of Ads partners. What is Roy Williams, founder of the Wizard of Ads, say? “Entertainment is the currency used to buy the time and the attention of a busy and distracted consumer.” P.T. Barnum, “You must capture attention before you persuade.” Dave Young: Stay tuned. We’re going to wrap up this story and tell you how to apply this lesson to your business right after this. [Using Stories To Sell] Dave Young: Let’s pick up our story where we left off and, trust me, you haven’t missed a thing. Stephen Semple: P.T. Barnum, “You must capture attention before you persuade.” Dave Young: Mm-hmm. Yup. Stephen Semple: “People remember stories, not features,” he would talk about that, and, “Curiosity is the strongest human emotion,” right? Dave Young: I love it. Yeah. Stephen Semple: These were the things that he talked about. But again, there would be this buildup before he arrived into town. And what’s really interesting, this idea, I did a variation of this idea when I was in university. So when I was in university, I had a business with two business partners. We ran a mobile DJ business, did really super well. We did all the maritime provinces. We did over a million dollars a year in sales doing this. But what do you do in the summertime? Dave Young: What do you do in the summertime? Stephen Semple: Because what we were doing is we were doing, like we weren’t doing weddings, we were doing high school and university dances, so there was nothing for us to do. But what we discovered was, I’m Canadian, what we discovered was every little town in Canada has a hockey arena that’s not being used in the summertime. Dave Young: There you go. So you put on a dance. Stephen Semple: Right. So we would rent the arena for next to nothing. We would put on a dance, and we would charge a gate. So how do we promote it? We had a team of people going into the town a couple of weeks before we showed up with the show, putting up billboards, posters, and talking to people in a town about this show, exactly what P.T. Barnum did, an advanced troop to build excitement for the show that’s coming to town. Dave Young: Yeah. I love it. Stephen Semple: Yeah. It works so well that we actually ended up doing a joint marketing thing after a few years with Pepsi. Dave Young: Very cool. Very cool. Stephen Semple: But it’s that idea, create excitement, create all this stuff, advance in town, and tensions required. Stories are powerful. Curiosity is the most powerful thing. Attention is a currency. Dave Young: Yeah, absolutely true. And when we started the episode, I said, “Oh, he invented the three-ring…” I don’t think he invented it. He knew. I think when I hear the story that he didn’t start Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey till he was 61- Stephen Semple: Isn’t that crazy? Dave Young: … he’s just applying all the things he knew. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: Right? He knew. And I mean, I’ve even heard Roy talk about this. When you talk about going, sending an advanced team to say, “You’re going to be amazed. It’s going to be great. It’s going to be wonderful. You won’t believe your eyes,” you can take that back to… One example is John the Baptist going ahead of Jesus saying, “He’s the Son of God. He’s going to be amazing,” right? But I think you could probably go back even farther. I doubt that there was a Roman circus or gladiator event that didn’t have somebody- Stephen Semple: Oh, God. Hawk it. Dave Young: …screaming about it for weeks ahead. Stephen Semple: I’m sure. I’m sure. That’s a great observation. Dave Young: And then about the same time as this, one of my fellow Nebraskans, Buffalo Bill Cody, was putting together his Wild West Show. And it was actually P.T. Barnum that gave him the advice of taking it to Europe. Stephen Semple: Oh, is that right? Dave Young: Because a taste of the Old West will astonish Europeans. Stephen Semple: That’s really interesting. Dave Young: Right? They’ve read about it. They’ve heard about it, but now you bring these cowboys and rough riders and… Stephen Semple: But what’s really interesting about that is that speaks to his comment, about Barnum’s comment about curiosity being the most powerful emotion. Because taking a show about the Wild West at that time to Europe, of course, people are going to be curious. What’s a cowboy really look like? Dave Young: Yeah. Well, if you do that in Western Nebraska, it’s like, “Okay. Well, so it’s just a bunch of the local town folk got together and are putting on a little rodeo. We’ve seen that.” But people in Europe haven’t. Stephen Semple: And it’s funny, is it Culver’s? Culver’s. That was one of the ones- Dave Young: The hamburger place? Stephen Semple: No, not the- Dave Young: No. Stephen Semple: I’m drawing a brain on the restaurant, but it was one that did the barbecue. And remember he started- Dave Young: Huh. Stephen Semple: … in Minnesota, rather than starting a barbecue place in Texas. And part of it is it would be different and whatnot, but I also wonder if there would’ve been a little bit of curiosity in Minnesota. “Boy, I wonder what really good barbecue tastes like.” Dave Young: Sure. Stephen Semple: Right? Anyway, it’s just interesting that that parallels. But my favorite, my favorite quote of P.T. Barnum’s, and again, who knows whether this is really what he said, but it was one of the ones I came across, and I really liked it. “Without promotion, something terrible happens. Nothing.” Dave Young: Oh, wow. Yeah, nothing. Stephen Semple: Just love that. “Without promotion-“ Dave Young: Ain’t that the truth? Stephen Semple: “… something terrible happens. Nothing.” Dave Young: Mm-hmm. He’s exactly right. Stephen Semple: It’s pretty cool what he did and where his innovation was. And then again, this whole idea of creating interest and excitement ahead of the event. Dave Young: Yeah. Well, I’m glad to hear this story. Thank you for bringing the P.T. Barnum story to the Empire Builders. And that circus went on for a long time. I think it only recently closed down in the last 10, 15 years, something like that. Stephen Semple: What’s really too bad about it is one of the reasons why it was shut down was kind of a lot of things with the animals, and they just didn’t seem to be able to modernize it. So you know how we often talk about look around the world? Right in front of their noses, at the time they were shutting down, right in front of their noses was a methodology that would work, and it was Cirque du Soleil. Cirque du Soleil is just a modernized circus. Dave Young: Yeah. There’s no circus animals, but there’s- Stephen Semple: There’s performers. Dave Young: … performers and a story, a storyline weaved into the whole thing. Stephen Semple: Huge storyline. Huge storyline. And, in fact, when you go to a Cirque du Soleil, the show starts before the show starts. Dave Young: Yeah, yeah. Well, and I would say that another example of that in the constant distraction, constant entertainment is if you follow Banana Ball, Jesse Cole has built this phenomenon that, I’ve been to one and, again, the entertainment starts before the game. You can actually wander around and meet players and get… They have like a parade that they come in. It’s crazy, right? It’s like a circus parade. Stephen Semple: Fun. Dave Young: But it’s constant distraction, and it’s like a circus with a baseball game in the middle of it. Stephen Semple: Nice. Yeah. Dave Young: So lots of lessons to be learned from studying P.T. Barnum. Stephen Semple: And the folks that were running P.T. Barnum at the end, if they had just had their eyes open, they could’ve seen how to do the pivot and how to make it work. Dave Young: Yeah, just- Stephen Semple: And look, and people love nostalgia right now. It could’ve been huge. Dave Young: Well, and Cirque du Soleil has taken their show on the road. Stephen Semple: They do. Dave Young: They did. Stephen Semple: They absolutely do. Dave Young: Yeah. They bring tents to cities all over. Stephen Semple: Yep. They sure do, and I love going to them. Dave Young: So, well, thank you again, Steven, for bringing us P.T. Barnum. Stephen Semple: All right. Awesome. Thanks, David.

The biggest show of force in two weeks—and it produced nothing.Friday night: SWAT raid two miles from Nancy Guthrie's home. Three detained. A "person of interest" questioned at a Culver's parking lot. His Range Rover searched and towed.Saturday morning: Everyone released. No arrests. Sheriff Nanos confirming "no sign of Nancy was found."Then Nanos told the New York Times finding her could take "years."An 84-year-old woman who needs daily heart medication. Missing for sixteen days. And the sheriff is measuring his timeline in years.This episode exposes the dysfunction: FBI and sheriff fighting over which lab processes DNA evidence. Sixteen gloves collected—fifteen discarded by the searchers themselves. The one glove that matters now entering CODIS.Inside sources say burglary gone wrong. The FBI says "myriad of theories." Nobody's on the same page.And Savannah Guthrie, speaking directly to whoever has her mother: "You're not lost or alone. It's never too late to do the right thing."That's an off-ramp for someone in over their head. The question is whether anyone's listening.#NancyGuthrie #SavannahGuthrie #MissingMom #TrueCrime #FBI #SWATRaid #CODIS #DNAEvidence #SheriffNanos #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What to make of last night's massive police operation in Tucson, Arizona? SWAT and the FBI rolled out in full force as the search for missing grandmother Nancy Guthrie intensified. But was that response warranted — or was it overkill given the lead they were chasing? And law enforcement locates mystery DNA in Nancy's home, sparking hopes of a major breakthrough.

How do you launch a business, partner with your spouse, and still be fully present for your kids? Sounds impossible, right? I sat down with Dan Culver—he and his wife, Nicole, ditched the 9–5 provider/caregiver model. They closed their granola side hustle, co-lead her personal brand, and raise three daughters under one roof…without losing their minds. Today on the podcast, Dan shares the unfiltered playbook for running a family-first business without sacrificing sanity (or date nights). Listen in and discover:   • Why they refused "my job vs. your job" roles—and how that fuels total flexibility   • The boundary-setting hack that keeps work and home from bleeding into chaos   • How they loop their kids into big decisions (Aruba trip postponed? Here's why…)   • Their strategy to prepare kids for an unpredictable future—college, careers, gigs   • Sneaky time hacks: from lunch dates to business brainstorms, even with three kids If you've ever felt guilty hustling for family…or wondered if you can scale your dream and be a great parent…this episode is your blueprint. Tune in now to hear Dan's candid stories—and my take on making business and family thrive side by side. Did you enjoy this episode?

The callers are fired up tonight as we dig into the Brian Gutey press conference that left more questions than answers. How can you extend coaches and claim everything's fine while simultaneously admitting you don't know what needs fixing? We break down the Nick Gannon hire, the baffling Rich Bisaccia retention, and why there seems to be a massive disconnect between what the front office thinks and what fans are seeing. Omar checks in with a glowing Culver's review from his trip to Lambeau, while multiple callers express frustration with the "we got better" narrative when special teams has been bottom-barrel for years. We explore the injury excuse—$92 million on injured reserve compared to playoff teams with far less—and whether health alone explains the collapse. Plus, early draft prospect talk featuring Cole Wisniewski and Malik Muhammad, free agency preparation, and a deep dive into that intangible championship quality that feels missing in Green Bay. Ryan gets philosophical about the underlying factors that separate good teams from champions, comparing our situation to Brady's success and questioning whether incremental tweaks can solve systemic issues. It's a raw, unfiltered conversation about accountability, expectations, and what it really takes to get over the hump. This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

The phones light up as Packer Nation processes the Mike Gannon hire and what it means for this defense. Callers dive deep into Gannon's "I don't have a scheme" philosophy and whether his ability to adjust on the fly could solve the problems that plagued Green Bay when Micah Parsons went down. Liz from upstate New York makes a compelling case for giving Gannon a shot, while the crew examines his dominant 2022 Eagles pass rush that produced 70 sacks. The conversation heats up around Rich Bisaccia and special teams—are injuries really to blame, or is it a discipline problem that starts at the top? Plus, Jeff Mannion's meteoric rise to Eagles DC in just three years raises uncomfortable questions about coaches who never get hired away. Dakota sparks a fascinating draft discussion: how many of our best players actually came from the first round? The historical breakdown might surprise you. And Nico from Idaho closes the show with an all-time pitch for drafting Jennings Dunker—the mullet-wearing, Culver's-loving offensive lineman who could become Tucker Kraft's new best friend.

Ever feel like everyone's screaming at you to hustle until your eyeballs bleed? But cling to "work-life balance" and they say you'll never make real money. As a dad, I've been there. I need a business that pays the bills without missing bedtime stories. That's why I sat down with Dan and Nicole Culver—two of my go-to mentors who have built a multimillion-dollar business on a 20-hour workweek. Today on the podcast… we dive into their playbook for consistent $100K+ months with a lean team, clear boundaries, and semi-automated evergreen funnels. Listen in and discover why boundaries are your biggest leverage (no nights, no weekends), how a 5-person team pulls in $100K months, the "Culver-style email" that sells daily without burning out, secret evergreen funnel hacks for non-stop sales, and parenting lessons that double as business accelerators. Ready to build a business that fuels your life, not destroys it? Tune in now and reclaim your time. Did you enjoy this episode?

Ok, it's another peek into my brain. I'm sharing the things I want to follow me into the new year and things that I'm leaving in 2025. I thought it would be beneficial for you to hear my thoughts behind these decisions and get you thinking about how you want 2026 to look for you. Planning provides a lens of calm. Somehow when a plan is in place, even if it changes, it is not as jarring as when you have to react to change with "emergency energy."  What will be joining me As I think about 2026 approaching, there are some significant changes happening in my life. Abby will have baby number two soon and the PhD is not consuming as much of my time. So, I am looking at the extra time. I want to be intentional with showing up for Abby, taking care of my body, and due to circumstances not yet resolved, looks like I will be doing a lot more housework.  This next 120 days I'm viewing as my "grand(ma)turnity leave." I am excited for Planning Day, where I take the time to really look at my time and plug in my priorities of being a grandma and think about how I want to use all this time I am getting back. When it comes to my housework I plan to run the vacuum robot more frequently after getting some listener feedback and tips. And I will run the dishwasher daily which is more frequent than we currently do. I am looking at the time I used to give to the PhD and filling it with my new goals. I am keeping the Tovola that is in alignment with eating healthy. But will likely add in a little meal prepping to accommodate how I want to eat and Grayson's egg allergy eating regimen. So, on Thursdays, I'll be doing mid week laundry and some housekeeping. And on Saturdays you will find me at the gym with Grayson. You will find me with Grayson a lot in the next 120 days "sucking up all my time." And I wouldn't have it any other way.  What will get left behind Sit down. I'm leaving Culver's in 2025!!  Never did I think this day would come but I want to build a healthy body, I still have 46 years to live and I'm really looking at my food right now. Doggy Daycare is closing and the house keeper won't clean with Hunter home, so no housekeeper.  I will be home longer in the mornings so no more coffee and breakfast at the office. And I'm ditching ithe Oura ring. That thing was frustrating me. I disagreed with it too much. And I want to wear my nice jewlery! I'm ditching my gardening shorts and Organize 365® v-necks for clothes for workout clothes that better match how I identify; as a person who works out. Late night bedtimes are going away too because I want to have plenty of energy for the Abby, Grayson, and working out. My Golden Window is Ending I have been spoiled getting to take two luxurious hours each Sunday morning to process my Sunday Basket® upstairs and with little Grayson in tow pretty soon, I will not be able to. I have my Sunday Basket® upstairs and another in my kitchen which is basically Abby's Sunday Basket®. I plan to break my normal processing time into two different 1 hour chunks. I think I'll read all the things while Grayson is bathing which will account for about 1 hour or a little less. And I'm auditioning other time blocks for the remaining hour I will need for thinking, planning, and billpay. I will solidify this likely in Planning Day. Now is the time to go into your 2026 Sunday Basket® and grab all those ideas you wrote down and bring them to Planning Day. Those are the ideas and intentions you wanted to consider for the new year. Yes, this community is planning 2026 already. This community does not think you are weird. When you plan now, you get to execute on Jan 1. But if you want till the dust settles in the new year, it'll be the 5th - the 9th before you start planning let alone executing.  EPISODE RESOURCES: The Sunday Basket® The Paper Solution® The Productive Home Solution Sign Up for the Organize 365® Newsletter  Did you enjoy this episode?
