(00:00) Summer Camp Age Requirement Disagreement This chapter explores a lively discussion about the challenges of managing junior golf programs and the intricacies of communication with parents. I recount a humorous yet frustrating experience with a parent eager to enroll his children in our summer camps. The parent attempts to bend the age rules for his younger, golf-enthusiastic child, who doesn't meet the minimum age requirement. Despite the father's persistence, I maintain the camp's policy, emphasizing the importance of adhering to established guidelines for the benefit of all participants. Additionally, I touch on the amusing mix-up of daylight savings time, which led to some unexpected schedule confusion. Overall, the conversation highlights the balance between accommodating individual requests and maintaining program integrity. (03:33) Golfers Discuss Adding Loft to Shots This chapter begins with a humorous anecdote involving Don Rickles and a New York mobster, illustrating the unpredictable twists of life. As we shift focus, the excitement of the golf season's start is palpable, with the Masters marking the unofficial kickoff. The conversation touches on regional golfing challenges, such as wet conditions affecting courses in certain areas. We share experiences from different locales, including New England's lingering winter and South Florida's seasonal transition. The discussion includes a fascinating lesson from a high-rise apartment equipped with a golf simulator overlooking beautiful vistas. This setting provides a unique take on indoor golf, offering a comfortable alternative to braving the outdoor elements. (17:54) Effective Junior Golf Camp Grouping This chapter explores the creation of successful golf programs for kids by considering the desires of parents, whether they seek fun experiences or potential playing partners within the family. We emphasize the importance of making lessons engaging for children, using real golf clubs from US Kids Golf to ensure proper sizing, and avoiding outdated equipment. Additionally, I discuss strategies for handling children who are initially uninterested by fostering a welcoming environment and recognizing past negative experiences. We also highlight the significance of grouping kids by maturity and physical development, ensuring a supportive learning atmosphere. The ultimate goal is to make golf enjoyable and memorable for young participants. (27:27) Junior Golf Camp Age Groups This chapter explores the dynamics of junior golf and the nuances of teaching young golfers. We discuss how older children can become self-conscious in mixed-age groups and share a story of a parent misunderstanding the group dynamics due to her child's height. We also address the challenges of working with kids who have received golf tips from their parents, offering strategies for respecting parental input while gently guiding young golfers toward effective techniques. The importance of communication with both children and their parents is highlighted, as well as the need for teachers to navigate these relationships with tact and understanding. (31:24) Teaching Kids to Problem Solve This chapter focuses on the dynamics of teaching and coaching young people, particularly teenagers, while managing parental involvement. We explore the importance of encouraging kids to think independently and develop problem-solving skills by reframing information so that it becomes their own discovery. The conversation also addresses how to handle parents who are eager to be involved in their child's learning process, suggesting ways to engage them without undermining the child's autonomy. By inviting parents into the learning experience and positioning them to observe and learn alongside their child, we facilitate a collaborative environment where both parties benefit. This approach helps parents to understand their role better, allowing them to step back and trust the expertise of the coach, ultimately leading to a more supportive and effective learning experience for the child. (39:59) Junior Golf League Equipment Consideration This chapter explores the PGA Junior League, a youth golf program that varies in quality depending on the club or course offering it. We discuss the benefits of introducing children to golf through such programs and emphasize the importance of not pushing kids into the sport if they aren't interested. When children do show interest, it's advised to hold off on buying expensive equipment until they have some experience and understanding of what they need. Renting or borrowing clubs initially is a smart move, and when purchasing, it's crucial to ensure the clubs fit the child properly to avoid bad habits and potential injuries. We compare buying ill-fitting golf clubs to outfitting a child with adult-sized sports equipment, highlighting the absurdity and potential harm of such a practice. (49:54) Choosing the Right Golf Instructor This chapter focuses on the importance of ensuring a good fit between children and their teachers when introducing them to new activities. We explore the idea that children should have the opportunity to meet and connect with their potential teachers to ensure they mesh well, as this can significantly impact their enthusiasm and success in learning. Emphasizing the need for the right lessons and equipment, we discuss how a child's love for an activity can be greatly influenced by their relationship with their teacher. Ensuring the right attitude is also key, as a negative experience can deter a child's interest, even if they have a natural affinity for the activity.

Today on The ReWatch Party, Nick, Anthony, Elise, and Loren take on 1970's Kelly's Heroes, a World War II heist movie that somehow blends Clint Eastwood's squinting, Telly Savalas's endless grenades, Donald Sutherland's hippie tank commander, and Don Rickles trying really hard not to roast everybody. Between the practical explosions, real tanks, and a suspicious amount of leisure time during wartime, the crew digs into what made this oddball classic tick — and why it barely made any money at the box office. We break down the movie's strange mix of gritty action and bizarre counterculture vibes, plus some very questionable German accents. Along the way, we dive into behind-the-scenes chaos like Donald Sutherland's near-death experience, roast the aggressively cheerful soundtrack, and ask the real questions — like how exactly one plans to steal a sailboat home from a war zone. It's equal parts appreciation and roast session. Nick also shares the personal reason behind choosing Kelly's Heroes as his birthday pick. A sentimental connection gives this episode a little more heart, even as the crew debates whether Big Joe's endless grenades or Crapgame's side hustles were the real MVPs. As for rewatchability? Do the movie's laid-back charm and odd characters out-compete some challenges with slow pacing that may make it a tougher sell today?  Listen to find out   https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0065938/

In this episode of The Rewatch Party, Nick and Anthony take a hilarious trip back to 1998 with Dirty Work, the cult comedy starring Norm Macdonald and Artie Lange. Known for its offbeat humor and relentless one-liners, this film has developed a strong following despite its initial lukewarm reception. Anthony, a longtime fan of Norm Macdonald's deadpan delivery, is eager to defend the movie's comedic brilliance, while Nick, always ready with a critical eye, questions whether Dirty Work still holds up after all these years. As they dive into the film's absurd plot—where two down-on-their-luck friends start a revenge-for-hire business—Nick and Anthony break down some of the most outrageous and memorable gags. From the running jokes about Chris Farley's unfortunate nose situation to the ridiculous pranks Norm's character pulls on his enemies, the hosts debate whether the humor is timeless or simply a product of the late ‘90s. Nick isn't convinced that all the jokes land, but Anthony argues that Norm's signature style makes the film endlessly quotable. They also discuss the film's place in comedy history, particularly how it showcases Norm Macdonald's unique brand of humor. With appearances from comedy legends like Don Rickles and Chevy Chase, Dirty Work certainly had the potential to be a bigger hit. The hosts reflect on why the movie never found mainstream success and how it later gained cult status, especially among fans of Norm's stand-up and Saturday Night Live work. By the end of the episode, Nick and Anthony weigh in on whether Dirty Work deserves a spot in the rewatchable hall of fame. Anthony insists that it's a must-watch for fans of irreverent, no-frills comedy, while Nick admits that while he may not love every joke, the film's sheer ridiculousness and Norm's delivery make it a fun ride. Whether you're a die-hard Norm Macdonald fan or just looking for a dose of late ‘90s comedy nostalgia, this episode delivers plenty of laughs and debate on Dirty Work's lasting appeal. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120654/

[SEGMENT 1-1] An indepth look at the debate   If I had a nickel for every time Tim Walz mentioned the burning dumpster fire Minnesota's turned into under his leadership, I'd have a down payment on a Ferrari. What a trainwreck of a debate performance for Walz. When Walz wasn't busy glossing over his hot mess of a governorship, he had the unenviable task of doing two things. First, he had to somehow trash-talk one of the most successful presidencies in American history. And second, his ammo for that? The smoldering wreckage of what's easily the worst presidency in American history—his own boss's. It was like trying to defend the Titanic while still sinking in it. Everyone who'd been paying attention already knew JD Vance was going to wipe the floor with Walz's Midwestern behind. And that beating started from the word "go." As I reflect on the debate, the term "public sodomy" comes to mind. Walz looked like he was one bad question away from asking for a smoke break, which only confirmed the rumors that the guy was sweating bullets before the debate even started. He rambled through his two-minute response, attempting to answer a question I'm not sure he even understood, but he did show us one thing: he's got the preparation skills of a last-minute book report writer. And then it was Vance's turn. JD Vance kicked things off with, “I was born to a middle-class mother.” Mystified, I swear for a second I thought he was about to parody one of Kamala Harris's cringe-inducing stump speeches. But nope. Vance was all business. He explained that his mom had struggled with drugs, that he joined the Marines, and used the GI Bill to go to Yale. [X] SB – Vance opening remarks Addiction Raised by grandmother Not exactly WEIRD was he?   Meanwhile, Walz just stood there watching as his "Midwestern mystique" got yanked away from him in one well-crafted two-minute drill.[SEGMENT 1-2] An indepth look at the debate 2   And Vance? Smooth as butter. He wasn't nervous. Not once. Every question Walz fumbled through, Vance calmly took notes (in his head!) like a kid studying for finals. And the moment Walz' lying lips stopped moving, Vance took a sledge hammer to Walz' nogging. Even more ironic is Vance crushed Walz with (1) Walz's own words, and (2) actual facts. A masterclass in debate. From Iran to immigration, guns to abortion, Vance didn't just beat Walz—he dissected him. It was like watching Sugar Ray Leonard toy with an opponent at the Olympics. Just one jab after another, until Walz was politically unrecognizable.   At this point, I had to run to Verizon because my phone was busted (don't ask, my fault). By the time I got back, CBS was wrapping up their debate coverage, and you know things went south when not one of the “journalists” had a single positive thing to say about Walz. It was all gloom, doom, and misery for the Harris-Walz campaign. When you consider how much of a dumpster fire their campaign has been so far, this debate was just another log on the bonfire. If Walz thought his week couldn't get worse, well, too bad Iran didn't wait a few more hours to launch those rockets at Israel. Maybe that could've distracted the country from the absolute annihilation he just suffered. Too late now.  [SEGMENT 1-3] An indepth look at the debate 2   Debate outcome NUMBER 1: Democrats are LIARS Holy cow did that Tim Walz get caught in his past? Did I warn you? I said the more you learn about the Democrats the less you will like them. By now you've heard a lot about this debate. And I'm fairly confident that you came to the conclusion that any HUMAN WITH A PULSE did, and that's Vance won. But he didn't just WIN! No, Vance played Trump mini-me and DESTROYED WALZ He did it in two ways: he destroyed Walz and the Democrats on Trump's record, and he then watch Walz implode TRUST Who do you think Americans trust the most?   And how do you recover from that. Remember what was said about Walz. He was the only person stupid enough to run with Harris. And now we know why.

[SEGMENT 1-1] An indepth look at the debate   If I had a nickel for every time Tim Walz mentioned the burning dumpster fire Minnesota's turned into under his leadership, I'd have a down payment on a Ferrari. What a trainwreck of a debate performance for Walz. When Walz wasn't busy glossing over his hot mess of a governorship, he had the unenviable task of doing two things. First, he had to somehow trash-talk one of the most successful presidencies in American history. And second, his ammo for that? The smoldering wreckage of what's easily the worst presidency in American history—his own boss's. It was like trying to defend the Titanic while still sinking in it. Everyone who'd been paying attention already knew JD Vance was going to wipe the floor with Walz's Midwestern behind. And that beating started from the word "go." As I reflect on the debate, the term "public sodomy" comes to mind. Walz looked like he was one bad question away from asking for a smoke break, which only confirmed the rumors that the guy was sweating bullets before the debate even started. He rambled through his two-minute response, attempting to answer a question I'm not sure he even understood, but he did show us one thing: he's got the preparation skills of a last-minute book report writer. And then it was Vance's turn. JD Vance kicked things off with, “I was born to a middle-class mother.” Mystified, I swear for a second I thought he was about to parody one of Kamala Harris's cringe-inducing stump speeches. But nope. Vance was all business. He explained that his mom had struggled with drugs, that he joined the Marines, and used the GI Bill to go to Yale. [X] SB – Vance opening remarks Addiction Raised by grandmother Not exactly WEIRD was he?   Meanwhile, Walz just stood there watching as his "Midwestern mystique" got yanked away from him in one well-crafted two-minute drill.[SEGMENT 1-2] An indepth look at the debate 2   And Vance? Smooth as butter. He wasn't nervous. Not once. Every question Walz fumbled through, Vance calmly took notes (in his head!) like a kid studying for finals. And the moment Walz' lying lips stopped moving, Vance took a sledge hammer to Walz' nogging. Even more ironic is Vance crushed Walz with (1) Walz's own words, and (2) actual facts. A masterclass in debate. From Iran to immigration, guns to abortion, Vance didn't just beat Walz—he dissected him. It was like watching Sugar Ray Leonard toy with an opponent at the Olympics. Just one jab after another, until Walz was politically unrecognizable.   At this point, I had to run to Verizon because my phone was busted (don't ask, my fault). By the time I got back, CBS was wrapping up their debate coverage, and you know things went south when not one of the “journalists” had a single positive thing to say about Walz. It was all gloom, doom, and misery for the Harris-Walz campaign. When you consider how much of a dumpster fire their campaign has been so far, this debate was just another log on the bonfire. If Walz thought his week couldn't get worse, well, too bad Iran didn't wait a few more hours to launch those rockets at Israel. Maybe that could've distracted the country from the absolute annihilation he just suffered. Too late now.  [SEGMENT 1-3] An indepth look at the debate 2   Debate outcome NUMBER 1: Democrats are LIARS Holy cow did that Tim Walz get caught in his past? Did I warn you? I said the more you learn about the Democrats the less you will like them. By now you've heard a lot about this debate. And I'm fairly confident that you came to the conclusion that any HUMAN WITH A PULSE did, and that's Vance won. But he didn't just WIN! No, Vance played Trump mini-me and DESTROYED WALZ He did it in two ways: he destroyed Walz and the Democrats on Trump's record, and he then watch Walz implode TRUST Who do you think Americans trust the most?   And how do you recover from that. Remember what was said about Walz. He was the only person stupid enough to run with Harris. And now we know why. Can we just dissect this ONE clip?   [X] SB – Walz lies about China Did travel to Asia until Aug.

Illeana Douglas is an avid student of the movies who grew up, stepped onto a set and entered the big screen of her childhood dreams. Her deep interest and knowledge of film legend and lore provided her with rich opportunities to engage in meaningful conversations with the stars and directors she has imagined meeting and then encountered along her way, including Robert De Niro, Robert Redford, Marlon Brando, Martin Scorsese, Roddy McDowall and so many more. With a rare ability to manifest full circle moments, Illeana has  worked with the two men who upended her childhood, Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda. Their film, Easy Rider had inspired her father to check out of suburbia and into a hippy commune, leaving the family financially destitute. That struggle is documented in her award winning book, I Blame Dennis Hopper. As a starving actress, Illeana went to work for a publicist in the Brill Building and years later, starred in Grace of My Heart, about songwriters in the Brill Building. Her fascination with her lost suburban childhood led her to write a new book called, Connecticut in the movies, WHILE she was restoring her own Connecticut dream home, a similar desperate effort to that of Mr. Blandings. Connecticut's role in American movies has evolved over the years from that of a metaphor for healthy, country living (Holiday Inn, Christmas In Connecticut) to a representation of our post-war suburban shift, the strain the work commute placed on marriages and the racism found in planned communities, (The Man In The Gray Flannel Suit, Gentleman's Agreement) to a depiction of dark suburbia and societal collapse (The Swimmer, The Ice Storm), to horror and dystopia. (The Stepford Wives, Let's Scare Jessica To Death.) Illeana, is a complete delight and she joins us for an in depth discussion about all things movie and many things Connecticut. Plus, elections are coming and Myra Page and Joan Bowman are here from Commit To Democracy to teach us how we can all do more than just vote this critical election season!Path Points of Interest:Illeana DouglasConnecticut in the Movies: From Dream Houses To Dark SuburbiaI Blame Dennis Hopper: And Other Stories Lived From In And Out Of The MoviesIlleana Douglas on WikipediaIlleana Douglas on IMDBIlleana Douglas on InstagramMedia Path PodcastGift of DemocracyCommit To DemocracyCommit To Democracy FacebookCommit To Democracy YoutubeCommit To Democracy Instagram
