The most Boston thing ever happened yesterday, and it involved a Duck Boat. One of the Duck Boats was on the street doing a routine rescue training drill, when a toddler fell into the water nearby.... The father jumped in, and then without hesitation, the two Duck Boat drivers, Michael Rosario and Kevin O'Neill got the boat into the water and saved them! The two workers on the Duck Boat say they have never seen anything like this in their combined 20-plus years on the job.

Frank sent us the old files from the Negroraguan Podcast, after his debut on 3BPod. You're on quarantine and don't have anything better to do, so we are releasing a classic episode "Duck Boats". Drake has recently released pictures of himself and his son, probably because he knew we were rereleasing Stork's 2018 question "If you're not a deadbeat dad playing border patrol, where are the pictures?" Frank had a life changing announcement, there was also a bit of sports talk regarding Florida State, KU's Bill Self Scandal, and our impression of the early days of the Patrick MaHomes era in KC. The namesake for the episode begins in the last 25 minutes. It has been canonized in out year end awards categories as the "Duck Boat Award" commemorating a moment where one or ALL of the cast members were worthy of the designation "You Ain't Sh**!". Don't judge us.

This year’s parade route will begin at Fenway Park, then head down Lansdowne Street, take a right on Ipswich Street, and then a left on Boylston Street to Tremont Street. The parade then will head straight onto Cambridge Street and finish at New Sudbury Street. Right before the parade started Red Sox fans got some great news as David Price said he wont be going anywhere and will opt in to stay with Red Sox. In other Red Sox news Chris Sales 15 million dollar option has been picked up and so has Eduardo Nunez’s 5 million dollar option. Sale went 12-4 with a 2.11 ERA and 237 strikeouts in 27 regular-season starts in his second season in Boston. He was among the favorites to win the Cy Young this season before he dealt with shoulder issues in the season's second half. Nunez hit .265 with 10 homers and 44 RBIs in 502 plate appearances. He played second base and third base.

On this week's podcast, Marcus sits down with Richard McGill, the founder of Mobile Fashion Week. From a background in theater, design, photography, and fashion, Richard dreamt of bringing every facet of the fashion industry together to support a local charity. Listen to this week's episode to hear the story of an upcoming Mobile event! Richard: Hey, I am Richard McGill, founder of Mobile Fashion Week. Marcus: Well, welcome to the podcast, Richard. Richard: Oh, hey. What's up, you? Marcus: Okay, so full disclosure, Richard and I do know each other. We've met through Tony, who is a photographer here locally, and we've kind of run into each other occasionally, but I wanted to have you on the podcast, because I love what you're doing with fashion week. Richard: Awesome. Marcus: Thank you for coming. Richard: Thank you for having me. Super excited. Marcus: The way that we normally start the podcast is we always kind of try to find out a little bit about the person, before we get into some of the ways of their thinking and what they have going on and stuff like that. Tell us a little bit about who you are, where you from, where'd you go to high school? Did you go to college? Did you graduate? So on and so forth. Richard: Awesome. Awesome. Well, I'm Richard McGill. You already got that part, but I'm from Mobile, Alabama, born and raised. On the playground is where I spent most of my days. Y'all get that reference? Marcus: Yes. Absolutely. I'm old enough to get that reference. Richard: Awesome. Marcus: Jerry's just trying to touch you again. Pay no attention to the man. Richard: Let me shimmy for you. But yes, I went to Davidson High School. W.P. Davidson. I was in musical theater, I was in color guard. I was the only boy in color guard at that point. I was the boy with the flag. Marcus: Blazing new trails. Richard: Man, hey, I always had that flag and I was throwing it. Had a big old smile on my face. I was good to go. In Mobile, Alabama, 2005. I went to the University of Southern Mississippi, and then I transferred to the University of South Alabama. I did have a musical theater ... I was on the tract for musical theater degree. Developed a nodule on my left vocal cord. Kind of switched it up for me. But it didn't end anything, it just started a new path, which I was really excited about. And then I ... Yeah, in Mobile. Marcus: But you didn't graduate music theater, you went and got a graphic design- Richard: Yes. Photography and graphic design. Marcus: Photography and graphic design degree. But you're in ... I mean, you predominantly are in fashion. That's where you live, that's where you love, that's, you know, all the things that are you surround fashion. Richard: Is about, just with fashion. It's just explaining to people and educating people on the fact that fashion is every day. You might not think you are the most fashionable person in the world, but what you picked and your chosen skin is what you're wearing. You chose that to wear, and whether you think it's fashion or not, like you'd make a decision. Marcus: Conscious or not. Richard: Yeah, and just teaching people that that's okay. No matter if people are telling you "Oh, well that doesn't look great together, that doesn't look good together." There's going to be people that tell you all the time "That doesn't look good." But there's going to be those people that are like "Hey, that's some pretty fresh style you got going on there." The only thing that changed in between those conversations is the person. You didn't change your outfit, it was the person that looked at it and so that's what I always try to remind people about. That's what it's about. Marcus: So, I'm the same way. I didn't grow up with a whole lot of money and so I was always very ... like I remember when Nike first released the Cortez's and they had the red heel and they had the blue stripe and I just was like "Oh, man I'd really like to have those," but I was the kid wearing the shoes from Payless, right. Just recently I started getting Air Jordan's. Richard: Okay. Marcus: And so I was wearing some the other day and Terrance DeShaun who has not been on this podcast but he is going to come on this podcast, was giving me crap about "What do you know about J's?" And I was like "Please player, don't even start with me." Like I've been lusting after J's since they first came out in the 80s but I would agree with you that fashion is very much what you're comfortable in but it projects quite a bit. Richard: Yes. Marcus: And so even as a business owner ... I'm going to go out on a limb here and I may make some enemies but the thing that kind of bugs me about fashion here in Mobile is that, you know, in the business community it's much like what it was in D.C. where you go to a business event and it's the blue blazer, the gray slacks, the white shirt with the red tie and it's like there's so much more to it then that. Richard: There's so much more you can do. Marcus: Put some effort into it and so I'm the guy that shows up wearing all the weird stuff, you know, and the funky clothes but I love it. That's who I am, and I can get away with it because I own an advertising agency, and I don't work at a law firm. Richard: But everybody can get away ... Even those people who do work for law firms. Even if you feel that you have wear a suit, wear a funky sock with it. Do something really cool, wear a really different tie, wear a bow tie or do something crazy because it's not the norm any more. I think it's definitely the new generation of people that are showing us like "Hey, you should be you." I mean people are going to love you and it's not so much more, I feel, it's not so much more about the business anymore. It's more about who you are and people are realizing that. Marcus: Like, authenticity. Richard: It's your authenticity; you are not playing a suited person. Marcus: No, and they can see thought it. Richard: You're playing you and that you are amazing so be you. Just be great being you. Marcus: Yeah, that's awesome. So I want to go back in your history. What was your first job, and I don't mean your first job in fashion. I mean like your first crap job, like flipping burgers or whatever. Richard: You want to know it? Marcus: Well, yeah. Richard: Only a few people know it. I worked at Golden Corral. Marcus: Seriously? Richard: Yes, Golden Corral. Marcus: Doing what? Now a lot of people know about it. So you know, like.. Richard: Golden Corral. I was that really loud guy at the front saying "Hey," to getting your Coke, getting your drink and that's back when like the budget really wasn't good the sign wouldn't say Golden Corral it would say like the Golden Oral or something in the light. Marcus: I'm telling you this may be the last episode of this podcast, friends. Richard: Hey now, people know me, they know my spirit, they know my heart. They know me... Marcus: It's all good. Richard: But, no, that's what was my first job and I loved it. Just because it taught me a lot. It really did even though it was my first crap job and I knew I wasn't supposed to be there. I knew that wasn't in my wheel house but I was touching people and I was my energetic self and I did make peoples day. It was a job that taught me from day one that it was okay to fail and I feel like a lot of people these days feel like ... Especially because of social media and I love social media, I'm always on social media. But you have to post like the best of the best, of the best, of the best and you have to live this like that's not authenticity you. When you fail you learn so much more than if you succeed. Like if you're doing great all the time how are you growing? You're not growing but the moment that you mess up, you know what I'm not going to do that again and I'm going to learn from that and then I can help the next person that comes and asks about it and you're just sharing that knowledge. Even though it was Golden Oral. Even though it was the Golden Corral that's where I learned it from and I learned it from there and then I probably got out of there quick. Then I went, of course, into Abercrombie & Fitch. That was my next ... Marcus: No, the Golden Corral ... Richard: You almost said it to. Got you! Marcus: The Golden Corral is the much better story and the lesson that you learned there is absolutely perfect. Richard: Yes. Marcus: Yeah, because I think sometimes so many people are afraid to fail but I actually I want to fail quickly and I want to fail often. And I want those to be micro steps that allow me to pivot into the direction that I need to go. Richard: Because that's the only way that you are literally going to grow as a person. If I'm telling you you are great all the time ... Marcus: Or as a company. Richard: Person, company ... Marcus: Organization. Richard: Who you are, just anything. If you are being told "Oh, that's just great, that's just great, you know, that's awesome." No give me honesty back. I know, and this goes back to fashion week, not to be conceited or anything but we put on the best show that we can put on. So you telling me "Oh, that was a great show," well, that's why I did it like that. I knew that, what could I have made better? "Oh, well the lighting over here really couldn't see the clothes when it got here," Bam! Not going to do that again. Marcus: You're going to fix that. Richard: I'm going to have them make sure there is plenty of lighting over there, that's right. Make it overly bright. "This designer, her clothes started falling apart in the run way." Okay I'm going to make sure to talk to her about her seams and making sure that we are secure in our seams and we're doing this and we're doing that. You just telling me "Oh, it was a great show. Thank you, we can't wait until next year." Okay well you're going to see the same thing next year if you don't tell me what else you need. What do I need to give to you? Marcus: Yeah, and like anything there is a good way to give feedback and I think giving feedback is an art form. You want people to give you that feedback. You want it to be from a position of them wanting to help you versus being overly critical and just trying to destroy you. Richard: Just being shady. There's no point in being that. I get it. There's a lot of shows that have been inspired by Mobile fashion week, a lot of different fashion events, fashion weeks have been started and of course they're going to say stuff like "Oh, we would have done it like this, we would have done it like this." Okay, that's great. Marcus: Go do it. Richard: Yeah, go do it. That's not how we do it but that's okay. You do your thing. Marcus: So you are a founder of Mobile.... Are you the founder? And that I know that. Richard: Yeah, so I'm the founder. We did it after an event we had called Fashion Forward. It was me, Suzanne Massingill, with Barefoot Models and Talent, and Toni Riales. There was a local model Morgan that had a brain tumor and we needed to raise money for her and then we don't play sports. We don't do any of that stuff so what are we going to do? Marcus: Really? You seem like a very sporty guy. Richard: Right? Don't I look like I play something. I'm just like "Yes, field goal, touch down, War Tigers, Eagles." Marcus: No, let's not do that. You just lost the rest of our audience. Richard: Roll Tigers ... War. Marcus: Yeah, but that was how it started? Richard: Yeah, it started from that because everyone loved the idea, they love the concept. They loved that we booked real models, got real designers, real styling. Everything was authentic about it. Before then, it was a little fun mom-and-pop, mom and daughter little fashion shows. Like fun stuff which is done by the Junior League which is an amazing group. They have the audience, they have the clientele and that's who they market to but we wanted to do something different. So then me and Susan got together and I was like "Hey Susan I want to start something, I want to start it, let's do it." And she was like "Hey let's try it, let's go, let's see what happens." And that was year one in 2011. Okay, we learned some stuff. We got in a little bit of debt. Let's try year two. Year two, okay we actually donated a pretty good check to Camp Rap-A-Hope. Year three, okay, this is an even better check. Okay, year four. Marcus: Is that where the proceeds go? Richard: Yeah everything goes to Camp Rap-A-Hope. We've had little other non-profits that we've joined in. We do Children With Hair Loss, that's a really cool one where if you go to any of the salons that we partner with you get a free ticket to the show if you donate your hair and that's 100% free wigs to kids that have lost their hair towards any kind of cancer treatment towards alopecia like just losing their hair any kind of diseases like that. It's just been so much fun getting to work with these people and getting to know that it's not all sad. Yes, it's sad when you see the little bald girl. Marcus: Yeah but it doesn't have to be. Richard: But it's not ... that's now who they are. They're still getting though life and they're doing this and we're getting to help them and it's powerful. Marcus: So, you're are in your ... this will be your eight. Richard: This will be year eight, season seven. Marcus: My gears just crunched. Richard: Last year I had the opportunity with H&M to go to Vietnam to open up Ben Thanh Market in H&M and it was an amazing opportunity and I couldn't let it pass and neither could, like the board, they're like "Hey, no, you've got to go. You've got to have this happen." This is one of those, not failure times, one of those times we reflected on because when I was gone a lot of stuff happened that was going to cripple the show and people spend money ... It's not like we're a cheap ticket. Like we're $25, $30 a ticket to come support Camp Rap-A-Hope and see a show. So if we don't put on the best show or if we know that we're not going to be able to provide that. We're not going to have you waste your money that you could have used on this, that, the other. Could have just given to Camp Rap-A-Hope right out of your pocket. So, when it got closer to the fashion week we walked the space again it just wasn't what we needed it to be. We've talked to some vendors, they weren't going to be able to deliver what they were supposed to and then I was out of town, so I couldn't pull up the charm like "Hey let's get this together guys. Go team." The board was like "Hey, it's going to cripple the show, it's going to ruin the brand, it's going to not be like anything anybody signed up for and people are going to be wasting their money and we can't do that to them." So we decided to cancel the show last year. The PR nightmare that came with that was like "Oh, their canceling it forever. It's because Richard was out of town." No, it wasn't because of just me out of town. It was other factors that went into it. This isn't just the Richard show, this is an amazing group of people that just come together, volunteer their time and energy to raise money for Camp Rap-A-Hope and the only way that our industry knows how, which is to put on a fashion show. Marcus: So, Mobile is not the epicenter of ... Richard: Right, where have you been? What are you talking about? No it's not. Marcus: No, but I mean let's be real. I mean it's not the epicenter of fashion. So I just want to say in this that it is absolutely very cool that we have something like this because it's not New York City, it's not L.A., it's not even Miami or any of the other secondary markets that would be considered fashion centers. Richard: Yeah. It's really not and when I got back here that was one of my main ... I moved out to L.A. that's when ... around the time when I met you and we started being cool with each other. I don't know what to say. That was kind of weird. Nothing creepy was happening. Marcus: It's all good people. Richard: But when I moved out to L.A. and I was there for six months and I got to work with some people at L.A. fashion week and I've got to engulf myself in there and when I came back and because the L.A. market just wasn't for me. It just was a lot of mean. I just didn't ... Marcus: Born and raised in Mobile you're used to people being friendly and hospitality and stuff. Richard: Smiling and just being able to be who you are and you would think that in L.A. it would be even more. Marcus: More embracing. Richard: More embracing. Like me just being the loud person that I am it was more embracing but no. It wasn't so came back on home. So I came back home and when I got here a lot of my really talented friends that were into make-up, into hair, into designing were leaving for these big markets as well. They were going to even New Orleans or Atlanta, some of them went to New York, or some of them went to L.A. and I was like, "Wow, we just lost a lot of really talented people," because they feel they didn't have the outlet to express themselves in Mobile and I was like "No, we can't lose anymore talent." That's why we have to show that we can embrace that talent here. So we did the fashion show for Morgan and then I was like "No, it's fashion week. That's what we're going to give them." Yes, you might be a hair stylist down here, you might have to do up dos for prom and homecoming all year but this is the one week that you can do these crazy looks and you can get pictures of them. You can have them all week. Marcus: Thanks for filtering. Richard: Man, you know I was. I was about to... I'm trying to be a good Christian around here. Marcus: He's trying to church it up a little bit though. Richard: Sorry, everyone. Sorry everyone but yeah, love y'all. Marcus: Now, let's think about this as an organization, okay. So, if you were talking to someone that wanted to get started in running these types of events or being more involved in the Mobile community, what's the one bit of wisdom you would impart to them? Richard: Don't be scared, do it. I mean even if you have three people that show up and three people that support you. Those three people next year will tell three more people and then those six people will tell six more people. Marcus: So, just out of curiosity how many people came to the first event. Richard: The first event it was fresh, I was young. So I was on the street I was peddling. It was our first year because we are a 501C3 though the Mobile Arts Council and so those were the days of Bob, Charlie, Hilary. Give me all these contacts and meeting all these people and that when I met Stacy Hamilton and I got in touch with the Downtown Alliance and I was like "Oh, I know all these people now." So the first year we did get about 150, actually 200. Marcus: Pretty darn good for the ... Richard: For the first year, yeah. There was a lot of ... I called in a lot of favors because like you said I worked with Tony Riles and so though that I knew people at Mobile Bay Magazine, I knew people at Access Just Launch that year as well. So I knew Hayley Hill. So I was like "Let me get all these people and let me try and get some free ads from them," and be like "Oh, it's a non-profit." So we had a lot, a lot of press in that first year. It was the first year. Marcus: Right. Richard: So, I feel now, of course we've grown, we've learned a lot from that year. Now if we had that same amount of press and people coming it would be even more. But hey this is what you learn. Marcus: Yeah, it'd be a much bigger event. No, I just ... to your ... I mean what you were saying though, those three people. I mean it is, it's a process. You have to go though that process and go through it and build on it and learn the lessons like what you're talking about and grow. Richard: Learning the lessons because ... guys just don't be afraid. You can do it. There are at least three other people that have the same idea that you have in your head but they are just so scared of failing or just scared... Marcus: There's more than that. There's more than three people. Richard: Three people. Marcus: So, I will go just to soap box for just a second. Richard: Yeah, let's soap box. Marcus: I get tired of people coming to me and not wanting to tell me their ideas and the reason why is because they're scared that if they tell me that idea that somehow ... First of all I've got my own ideas and I'm busy executing on those, but the other thing to is ideas are cheap. Ideas are really cheap, it's the actual execution of the idea is where it becomes valuable. And most people never take that first step to execute the idea and so it's just a wasted thought. Richard: Yeah. Marcus: But anyway. Richard: Stand on that soap box. Marcus: Get back on topic. Richard: The more you know. Marcus: By the time this releases we will probably be two or three weeks out from Mobile fashion week so what are you currently working on? Richard: Okay, so what am I currently working on or ... Marcus: Right now, but I mean ... Richard: Right now. Marcus: Yes, right now. So we're recording this on the 30th of August. So what are you working on for ... Richard: Right now. It's just finalizing the schedule. Everybody thinks that "Oh, it's just a fashion show. You can put that together in a month." Marcus: That's hilarious. Richard: No, no, darlings. It takes literally a year. After the last show we are already ... Like while we're putting that last show ... this show on we're already going to be working on ideas, concepts, designs for next year because one you have to give these designers a chance to make something and you have to give them a chance to let their ideas grow because sometimes their not thinking about it yet. They're just trying to get though that month. Those are the new designers that don't realize they have to be so far ahead yet. But then there's other designers that are a little bit more into the game and know a little bit more. They're already prepared, already have some of that worked out. But you need to give them time. You have to get the Pantone colors for the season, you have to make sure you're trendy. You're keeping the social media up all year so people just don't forget about it and it's like "Oh, well August is here so we're going to start hearing from Mobile fashion week again." No, we have to be at events, we have to be at this, we have to be at that. We have to be promoting, we have to be sharing. So, right now we are finalizing the actual day of fashion week. We used to do three shows. Then we started doing two shows. This year is going to be our first year with one show. One really big show and it's not because of anything else besides the fact that shows cost money and at the end of the day the more money we're spending; yes we have a great week. But the less money we're able to give to Camp Rap-A-Hope. At the end of the day that's what it's about. Like giving the money to the kids with cancer. How do you say no to that? So us cutting down the days that we're actually having to spend on production costs and just focus on the show, focus on the big show and just do other little fun special things though out the week that have to do with fashion, have to do with Camp Rap-A-Hope and promoting that. That's what's important this year. That's what we're focused on this year. Marcus: Very cool. Richard: Just another little fun little change. So yeah just finishing out the calendar. Making sure all the models are still the size they're supposed to be from casting because sometimes you just like ... Marcus: Cheeseburgers. Richard: A new restaurant will open up and you'll eat there a couple times. I've been at that Poke Luau. Marcus: Where's that? Richard: Oh, man you don't know about Poke Luau? Marcus: No. Richard: It's over in Pinebrook shopping center. Marcus: I'll have to check that out. Is that buy ... We're going on a tangent folks, give us just a second. Richard: Yeah, y'all go there too. Marcus: Yeah, is that over by Whole Foods? Richard: Whole Foods. So it's Whole Foods and then that new F45 work out place. It's right next to ... Marcus: Andy Vickers, owns F45. Richard: He's an awesome guy too. All these awesome people. But right next to it there's this Poke Lulu place. Marcus: What kind of food is it? Richard: It's just Poke. It's like... Do you know what Poke is? Like the rice with ... Marcus: Some sort of meat and fresh vegetables and stuff like that. Richard: Yeah everything. Marcus: Alright. Richard: Just go see them. Marcus: Come on, you had to know. I should have told you beforehand just strap yourself in dear listener because we're going on a ride today. Richard: Left, right, up, down. You all should be prepared. Marcus: Who's one person from the business world that motivates you? Or from the fashion world, I'll throw you a bone. So fashion world ... Richard: No, it's actually right in like I can always think big. Think globally act locally and the one person that just inspires me right now and he's local. It's Scott Tindle. Scott Tindle is just an amazing ... y'all clearly ... everybody should know who Scott Tindle is right now. Marcus: Yeah, I mean he's been on the podcast before and Scott and I are friendly. Richard: Yeah, he's just like one of those people that has those ideas but doesn't just spit them out. Like all the sudden they're just there and it's like "Oh, this is an actual thing now. Oh, we actually have a restaurant here now." Marcus: We have Duck Boats that drive down... Richard: We actually have Duck Boats. Marcus: Dauphin Street and we have a fort that's actually being used and we have a restaurant in the fort that has amazing Po Boys and who knows what else dear Scott Tindle has planned for this city. Richard: Hey, and there's going to be a fashion week at that same fort. Marcus: Is it going to be there? Richard: Yeah, it's going to be at the fort. Marcus: Nice. Richard: Yeah, it's going to be great and then we have some food there from ... oh, and they just got their liquor license so we got booze from them too. So you know the fort is going to be a poppin' place Marcus: Somebody hide the Vodka from Richard before the show. Richard: I don't actually drink. I take pictures of everybody else being drunk. It's really good. Especially at business events. It's like "Got this for later." What he has done ...It's just one of those people that's also inspiring also can make light of bad situations. Like bad stuff happens ... Marcus: Yeah. Richard: Forgot to get this license so we've got to ground, you know, the Duck Boats for a little bit but hey learned now not going to do that again. Marcus: Yeah, move forward. Richard: Yeah, move forward. So he's just really ... He's inspiring so many like Andrew Vickers he like worked with Scott and now he's doing his own thing. Just being that inspiring person and being okay with sharing ideas and not thinking like "Oh, I have to keep these ideas to myself because I wanna be the most successful, the richest person in Mobile." No, share your ideas. Marcus: One of the things that the internet has taught me is that ideas are meant to be shared. Richard: Yes. Marcus: Right, they're meant to be shared freely and that, you know. So we give away a lot of information whether it be on the videos or the podcasts or the blog posts that we right and stuff like that and I mean we go into great detail in some of the things that we share. The funny thing is even if you give away those details often times people will never do anything with it. It's just information that they kind of consume. Richard: I learned a lot about SEO from y'all. See look, hey. Marcus: Throwing that out there. Richard: Yeah, learned it, hey. Marcus: Are there any books, podcasts, people or organizations that have been helpful to you? Richard: Yeah, Mobile Arts Council has been just the supporting of Mobile fashion week. When Bob and Charlie were there, of course, they were just people that I could go in there, talk to, cry if I needed to and just be like "Guys, I'm so overwhelmed. I don't know what's going on. I don't know what to do next." And they were just there ... just the ear to talk to. They were also ... It was really inspiring just for them to talk to in the fact of fashion is art as well. I know it gets lost. Marcus: I love it. Richard: A lot of people don't think of it as art. They think if it's not hanging up on a wall it's not considered art. Marcus: Right. Richard: So, being that outlet for them as well saying "Hey, fashion is art." Yes, it's clothing. Yes, you can wear it every day. Marcus: It's functional. Richard: But yes there are some designers that are making these gorgeous pieces that you will never wear down Dolphin street but they're these beautiful concepts and it took time and effort. It took just as much time to make that dress as it did to paint that picture. Marcus: And as much creativity. Richard: Much creativity and much uniqueness and that's just energy. Marcus: What's the most important thing that you've learned about running this organization? Richard: Just to ... I know that sounds bad because you should take everything seriously but not to take it too seriously. Marcus: Right. Richard: Not to take everything ... It's not mapping the brain, it's not brain surgery. It's nothing to do with that. Yes, we have this. Yes, we're dealing with money. Yes, we're donating money. All this important stuff behind it but if it ended today, if it ended tomorrow, if this was the last year, if next year's the last year, if anything happen that would not affect me as a person much without saying "I've learned a lot from it." I've learned so much for it and now I can move on and do something else for it. Not that it's going to end anytime soon. Marcus: Right. Richard: Because we're still young around here and we're just going to ride it until the wheels fall off. Marcus: There you go. Richard: But it's just the importance of just not taking it too seriously. Marcus: Well, I mean fashion and art are meant to be fun, right? Richard: Yes. Marcus: And there is ... often times I think we try to make things serious in an effort to lend importance to them. Richard: It gives it validation. If we make it serious, if it's a serious thing then it's validated. Marcus: Right. We have to study it and pick it apart and make it mean something more then what it means. Richard: Those lines. Did you see those lines ... Marcus: Right, exactly. Richard: It was a fun picture. Marcus: Yeah, exactly. Richard: It was a Campbell's soup can, you know. Marcus: Yeah, Andy Warhol is the reference there if you're not catching it. I mean it is ... How much cocaine was consumed in the making of those Campbell's soup cans? Richard: No matter. Marcus: I mean, how much fun was he having while he was doing that? You really think he was trying to be all that serious, no. I mean it was Campbell's soup. He was trying to make a statement but it wasn't meant to be this global thing. Richard: Yeah, no. Marcus: See I get on these soap boxes. I need to just ... Richard: I like your soap boxes. Marcus: Yeah. Richard: Where did that term come from you think? Marcus: Soap box? Richard: Where's that term come from? Marcus: Soap box. Back in the day when people would stand on some sort of pedestal and what's the old term ... Stump speech when ... in politics. Anyway we're way off topic now guys. See I told you this is the last one. We've got another one, we may have to put him in front of this just to make sure that this ... Richard: Make sure you know. Marcus: How do you like to unwind? Richard: How do I like to unwind. Do I unwind? No. I like to sew. Marcus: So you do ... I mean you're actually making fashion pieces and stuff. Richard: One of my things for fashion week ... one of the other things that inspires me. Yes, I make ... I sew, I design, I do all that fun stuff too. I love so many ... and this is what help people that want to start events as well or want's to start something to. I don't believe in a jack of all trades. Like I just don't think it's a good concept. I never really liked it. I liked the fact that you know a little bit about everything but I don't think it's good for the market place, I don't think it's good for anything. Like you just doing it all yourself. So I love make-up, I love hair, I love design, I love shows, I love everything about it but I don't want to be the designer that also does hair, that also does make-up, that also does photography, that also does this, that also does that. Marcus: No, but you have to have some understanding of it in order to pull all of those things together. To make your vision come though. Richard: I do that through fashion week. So I get to play dress up with the designers, I get to talk design to the designers, I get to talk make-up to the make-up artists that support. I get to talk hair to the hair stylist that are coming. You get all these facets together and you get to be engulfed in it all at once without trying to be like "Oh, I'm perfect at everything." And you're not actually giving it everything you're 100% because you can only give 20% of yourself to hair, 20% of yourself to make-up. Marcus: Yeah. Richard: Just put an event together, get these other people that are amazing at these talents because that's what they focus on and just be engulfed in it and just have fun with them. Marcus: Yeah, that's really cool. Now tell people where they can find out more about the event. Richard: Gosh, go to Mobfashionweek.com M-O-B fashionweek.com We post fun blogs there, we have some information about Camp Rap-A-Hope there, we have pictures from past shows. You can see what designers are walking this show. You can see the hair stylists that are supporting, the make-up artists. Everyone that's on the board and on the team that puts this show together because yes I talk because I'm the talker. I'm the loud one. I'm the one ... Marcus: [laughs] Richard: I'm the loud one. I'm the one that puts myself out there but there's so many people and that's what's also empowering as well. Having people because there are those people in life, in the world we live in that have to be the center of attention but I work with this amazing group of people that they will work back behind the scenes. You don't need to know their name, you don't need to know they helped at all. Susan Massengale one of the ones been there since day one and she never comes out and says thank you afterwords. She never does that after the shows. She cleans up, she gets all the models stuff that they leave because we have these ... Marcus: Make sure that everything's buttoned up and taken care of. Richard: Everything's buttoned up and taken care of. You don't have to see her, you don't even have to know she was a part of it because at the end of the day we all work to donate this charity to Camp Rap-A-Hope. Marcus: Yeah. Richard: And that just one of my things that I just loved about working with her, working with the rest of the team with Allison, with Lindsey, with Malcome, with all of these amazing people. Just they don't have to be the center of attention. You don't have to know they're there but they are, they're helping and I appreciate them so much but I'm, of course, like I said the loud one. I'm the loud one, I'm the one like "Hey, y'all coming to the show now? Y'all get over here y'all." Marcus: Oh my god, help us. Richard I want to thank you again for coming on my podcast to wrap up any final thoughts or comments you'd like to share? Richard: Man, just come to the show, support Camp Rap-A-Hope, support all the local events that happen in Mobile; 1065 all these great really cool events. There was that new music ... Marcus: South Sounds. Richard: South Sounds, gosh, please go to South Sounds. Marcus: Yeah, and then you're talking about Mobfest Richard: MOB Fest. That's an event that comes around. All these events, support them. So go there. It might be something you're into, e-mail them say you want to be a part of it if you want to be part of it. If you don't, if you just want to be at the house and go to a cool event, man there's so many events around Mobile. Marcus: It's important that you support them. Some of them are free so it's not even a matter of paying to go but it's important because the people put a lot of effort into that and if people don't come out then they stop putting that effort in and the other thing to is just from the economic impacts stand point because well it's a business podcast so we'll talk about it. Richard: We gotta talk about that. Marcus: From the economic stand point, you know, I was talking to someone who shall remain nameless who said that they generate $30 million worth of revenue for the city by bringing their event here. Richard: Voldemort? Was it Voldemort? Marcus: No. Richard: Oh. Marcus: And so we ... Richard: You said nameless, okay. Marcus: No. It's... Richard: It's not a bad guy. Marcus: Yeah. Richard: Their bringing money in. Marcus: I don't want to ... I mean he's going to be on the podcast soon and he may actually talk about this but we were having lunch the other day and $30-$40 million every year is brought into the city by this guy. Richard: Oh, wow. Marcus: And, you know, the tickets to the event are not that expensive but it's extremely important that we go out and we support these events. Even if they're free because there's sponsorships that, you know, they want to know the numbers that of people that come and there are organizations like yours where it's $25, $30 to come or even if it's $50 who cares. That money's going to a good cause and yes that's not a cheap ticket but at the same time it's a fun event, go. Richard: It's not like trying to go to New York. So many people ... Some of our guests that come they will never have the chance to go to New York fashion week. They'll never have the chance to go to Miami fashion week or L.A. fashion week so we want to bring that experience to them and we don't want be like "Oh, it's $100 to come to our show." Yeah we would love to raise that much money, if you want to spend that much money on a ticket write the other donation to . We don't need that money, we're okay. We're not profiting off this at all. No ones making money everything after they count zeros out goes to Camp Rap-A-Hope. So we're not trying to profit off of this. All we're trying to do is create an amazing event for you to have fun at and not think about ... because that's the fun thing about Camp Rap-A-Hope is they don't ever want to push the fact that the kids have cancer on you. They want to push the fact that they're having fun and they're able just to have fun because its not a big taboo subject because every kid there has cancer so you don't have to talk about it. Marcus: Right. Richard: Because you already know everybody else here has it so we're just going to have a fun weekend and not have to talk about it. You don't have to worry about these ports and tubes around you because you see it all around. It's just a fun week of kids ... oh gosh, I get emotional about it. Marcus: Well, I do need to wrap up. Richard: Oh, yeah we do. Marcus: But I want to say ... I normally wrap up with appreciate your willingness to sit with me and share your journey as a business center but I would just like to commend you for taking something like this on because I know it's not a small feat. So pouring your life into something and not getting anything from it other than just an outlet is an amazing thing. You're a beautiful individual. Thank you for what you bring. Richard: Thank you so much. Thank you so much everyone. Learn more about Mobile Fashion Week on their and follow them on , , and .

Jon and Justin can't wait another day for training camp. With Media Day just a week away the show is immediately derailed with Duck Boat Hot Takes and a really bad Christmas week analogy. Eventually, the show gets back on track in discussing Kyrie Irving's appearance on ESPN's First Take. In the second half of the show, a quick rundown of the roster gets the crew close enough to training camp that they can taste it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
When it comes to a road trip, sometimes it's less about the destination and more about how you get there. But is this also true when it comes to time travel devices? Sure, you could just go into a plain room like in "12 Monkeys," but where's the sense of style with that? Let's face it, driving a Delorean is cooler than going back to 1955 and having your mom try to get into your Calvin Kleins. We explore the Rushmore of Time Travel Devices with the help of our good friend Paul Lurie, who suggested the topic. He is one of the best Duck Boat drivers in Boston, which means he knows a thing or two about cool forms of transportation. As far as we know, the Duck Boats aren't time travel devices, though. Yet. So join us for an episode that was prerecorded, which means it's basically a time travel device right there. (And definitely not as cool as a Delorean.)

The city of Boston celebrated the Red Sox world series win with the traditional parade through the city. The Duck Boats took the players around as millions came out. But the team also stopped and paid homage to the victims of the Boston Marathon Bombing back in April – by placing the trophy at the finish line. I tweeted. Not a dry eye in New England. This is what we call Red Sox Nation. So what is Red Sox Nation really? Bobby Donlan is a member of Red Sox nation – officially. He lives in Atlanta. He is part owner of one of my favorite restaurants New York Prime – in Atlanta. He is originally from Massachusetts and a graduate of UMass. He is talking to us from Atlanta.Greg Pearson has written the book, Fenway Fanatics: 50 Boston Red Sox Fans Tell Their Stories. It’s a great Christmas gift

Today's topics: Interfaith Prayer Service for Boston 1st segment: Scot Landry welcomed everyone to the show and noted that Gregory Tracy is out today to attend the funeral of his grandmother and asked for prayers for him and his family. Scot noted that today an interfaith prayer service at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross was attended by many faith leaders as well as Mayor Tom Menino, Gov. Deval Patrick, and President Obama. Susan said it was a beautifully done service without showboating or grandstanding. She said it's a sign of hope. Fr. Roger Landry said it's highly significant that we embraced the world in a cathedral dedicated to a cross we call holy. This holy week started with a day we'd call Good Monday, when so many suffered. But we remember the cross is not just a symbol of pain and suffering, but love that make suffering bearable. He thinks the president did a good job in trying to describe the resilience we talk about. He said it's good that it was there. The motto of the Church could be “Here comes everybody.” To everyone who think the president shouldn't be there should get over it. What's important is that we at least pray together. To welcome them into our home was an opportunity for us to be together as we look to God how to carry this cross. Scot said we are a nation that is increasingly secular, but we all came together to pray as a society and that we are able to facilitate that prayer is an honor. We must also differentiate between the office of the President or mayor or governor and the politician who holds office and be able to stand behind that office. We must also welcome people. Some of the greatest saints are those who most persecuted Christians and we must be open to the working of the Holy Spirit. We now heard Cardinal Seán's remarks at the service: My dear brothers, sisters and friends. On behalf of our Catholic community, I wish to welcome all of you here to the Cathedral of the Holy Cross. It is an honor to have our President, the Governor, and our Mayor here with us this morning. We are grateful to Governor Patrick for initiating this ecumenical and interfaith prayer service. We are delighted that Metropolitan Methodius and so many leaders from the various churches and faith communities could join us here today. Our Holy Father, Pope Francis, has asked me to communicate to you his sentiments of love and support. The Holy Father invokes God's peace upon our dead, consolation upon the suffering and God's strength upon all those engaged in the continuing work of relief and response. The Holy Father prays that we will be united in the resolve not to be overcome by evil, but to combat evil with good, working together to build an ever more just, free and secure society for generations to come. This year's Patriots' Day celebrations were marred by an act of senseless violence that has caused all of us great shock and pain. It made us relive the horror of the September 11th terrorist attack and is a stark reminder of the darkness that can lurk in the human heart and produce such evil. And yet the same tragedy brought us together as a community like nothing else ever could. The generous and courageous response of so many assures us that there resides in people's hearts a goodness that is incredibly selfless. We saw that when summoned by great events we can be remarkably committed to the well-being of others, even total strangers. We become a stronger people, a more courageous people, and a more noble people. The police, emergency workers and even bystanders and passers-by did not hesitate to put themselves in harm's way to help the injured and the frightened. Our presence here is an act of solidarity with those who lost their lives or were injured in the explosions and an expression of our desire to support them and their families and loved ones. This Patriots' Day shakes us out of our complacency and indifference and calls us to focus on the task of building a civilization that is based on love, justice, truth and service. We do not want to risk losing the legacy of those first patriots who were willing to lay down their lives for the common good. We must overcome the culture of death by promoting a culture of life, a profound respect for each and every human being made in the image and likeness of God, and we must cultivate a desire to give our lives in the service of others. Last week, I was in Galilee on the Mount of the Beatitudes with 30 priests from Boston. There we prayed together and listened to the very Gospel that was read for us here this morning. The Sermon on the Mount is a description of the life of the people gathered by and around the Lord. Often in the Gospels, we can see the contrast between the crowd and the community. The crowd is made up of self-absorbed individuals, each one focused on his or her own interests in competition with the conflicting projects of others. A community is where people come to value each other, and find their own identity in being part of something bigger than themselves, working together for the common good. The Sermon on the Mount, in many ways, is the Constitution of the people called to live a new life. Jesus gives us a new way to deal with offenses, by reconciliation. Jesus gives us a new way to deal with violence, by nonviolence. He gives us a new way to deal with money, by sharing and providing for those in need. Jesus gives us a new way to deal with leadership, by drawing upon the gift of every person, each one a child of God. In the face of the present tragedy, we must ask ourselves what kind of a community do we want to be, what are the ideals that we want to pass on to the next generation. It cannot be violence, hatred and fear. The Jewish people speak of Tikkun Olam, “repairing the world.” God has entrusted us with precisely that task, to repair our broken world. We cannot do it as a collection of individuals; we can only do it together, as a community, as a family. Like every tragedy, Monday's events are a challenge and an opportunity for us to work together with a renewed spirit of determination and solidarity and with the firm conviction that love is stronger than death. May ours be the sentiments of St. Francis of Assisi, who prayed: Lord, make me an instrument of your peace, Where there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is sadness, joy. O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console; To be understood, as to understand; To be loved, as to love. For it is in giving that we receive. It is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life. Amen. Scot asked Susan for her favorite part of Cardinal Seán's remarks. Susan said seeing our Cardinal in his Franciscan robes ending with this prayer to St. Francis was powerful. On Patriots Day, she thought how she takes things for granted and how everything is gift. On the need for the community to repair the world, she was reminded of John Donne who said no man is an island unto himself. Sure, we have differences, but we have to find the common good in service of that. Scot said Cardinal Seán said we should respond to this event in love. We learn from it and repair what needs to be repaired in the world. Fr. Roger said it was a tremendous talk on a day in which we heard tremendous rhetoric. Cardinal Seán went beyond eloquent and went to the root causes of what happened on Monday. Then he described a program that we can continue the work that was begun after the bombs exploded. The root causes are in the human heart, what happened with Adam and Eve. The response, like the first patriots, we must overcome a culture of death by promoting a culture of life. In a culture where some people can choose which other people can die, whether through euthanasia, capital punishment or abortion, then we're going to have people with homemade bombs killing the innocent. A profound respect for every human being created in the image and likeness of God is where we begin. Then he talked about a far more important constitution than the US Constitution, which was the Sermon on the Mount. 2nd segment: Scot noted he was at the cathedral about 6:45am and the church ended up being extremely packed. He said from about 7:15 to about 10:30 is like any gathering of people, talking among themselves. About 10:30, Fr. O'Leary, the rector, asked people to take their seats and then it was extremely quiet and reflective, which was striking to Scot. It was prayerful. Scot there was a blend of music from various church choirs along with the cathedral festival choir. Then Rev. Liz Walker, the former WBZ news anchor, welcomed everyone and one by the one the presenters came up. Scot said Mayor Tom Menino had told an aide that he was going to deliver his address standing even if it killed him. He is in a wheelchair after having broken his leg recently. Susan said it was quite an act of determination. Scot said Menino gave a very impassioned speech and this might be one of the best talks he's ever given. He thinks in his 20 years as Boston mayor, today's speech will be listed as one of his best. Scot thought Menino was going to break down as he said he's never been prouder of the city of Boston. Susan noted that a lot has been happening in Menino's life, including medical issues and announcing he won't be running for re-election. Scot listed the other religious speakers and then said Gov. Deval Patrick spoke of all the things he is thankful for this week. Patrick also said Massachusetts invented America: Massachusetts invented America. And America is not organized the way countries are usually organized. We are not organized around a common language or religion or even culture. We are organized around a handful of civic ideals. And we have defined those ideals, through time and through struggle, as equality, opportunity, freedom and fair play. Scot and Susan discussed whether this was an overstatement. Fr. Roger thought it was hyperbole. He remarked on the opening of his talk in which he said Scripture tells us to give thanks and in every Mass we ask God to help us in all things to give thanks. In my faith tradition, scripture teaches: “In every thing give thanks.” (I Thessalonians 5:18) That isn't always easy to do. On Monday afternoon, I wasn't feeling it. What I felt, what so many of us felt then, was shock and confusion and anger. But the nature of faith, I think, is learning to return to the lessons even when they don't make sense, when they defy logic. And as I returned to those lessons this week, I found a few things to be thankful for. Scot said even in this week there is so much to give God thanks for, the acts of heroism, bravery, and perseverance. Susan said that's the tension and balance of marking something so sad, but realizing we are called to give thanks and there is a reason to give thanks, which is that Jesus Christ died for us and saved us from sin. She added that evangelization is hearing an elected official talk about he takes comfort in his faith. Then President Obama talked about the Scripture passage of running the race with endurance. Then he also said: I'm here today on behalf of the American people with a simple message: Every one of us has been touched by this attack on your beloved city. Every one of us stands with you. Because, after all, it's our beloved city, too. Boston may be your hometown, but we claim it, too. It's one of America's iconic cities. It's one of the world's great cities. And one of the reasons the world knows Boston so well is that Boston opens its heart to the world. He talked about welcoming immigrants, students, talents in the arts and sciences and all the people who come to the Marathon each April. Scot said it meant a lot to him to hear the president saying that. Susan said author Dennis Lehane wrote this week that they picked the wrong city, which wasn't pugnacious bluster, but a measure of our resilience. Obama continued: Like you, Michelle and I have walked these streets. Like you, we know these neighborhoods. And like you, in this moment of grief, we join you in saying — “Boston, you're my home.” For millions of us, what happened on Monday is personal. It's personal. Fr. Roger talked about how Bostonians can have a reputation for provincialism or for being smug about our sports teams, but at this time all that set is set aside. He said he's heard on sports radio that The Standells' “Dirty Water” which Obama referenced is classic because it takes a criticism of Boston and makes it something to be proud of. That's why a bomb can't beat us. That's why we don't hunker down. That's why we don't cower in fear. We carry on. We race. We strive. We build, and we work, and we love — and we raise our kids to do the same. And we come together to celebrate life, and to walk our cities, and to cheer for our teams. When the Sox and Celtics and Patriots or Bruins are champions again — to the chagrin of New York and Chicago fans — (laughter) — the crowds will gather and watch a parade go down Boylston Street. (Applause.) Scot said it resonated with him, even though he thinks of himself as mature than identifying so deeply with our sports teams. He thinks he connected with Bostonians on an emotional level. Susan said that image of a sports champion team going down Boylston Street in Duck Boats is an iconic image. Scripture teaches us, “God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.” And that's the spirit you've displayed in recent days. When doctors and nurses, police and firefighters and EMTs and Guardsmen run towards explosions to treat the wounded — that's discipline. When exhausted runners, including our troops and veterans — who never expected to see such carnage on the streets back home — become first responders themselves, tending to the injured — that's real power. When Bostonians carry victims in their arms, deliver water and blankets, line up to give blood, open their homes to total strangers, give them rides back to reunite with their families — that's love. Scot said in four sentences Obama weaved four moving visual images together. Susan said it was beautifully balanced. Fr. Roger said the real beauty goes beyond the eloquence to the fact that it's true. The greatest eloquence is bringing the beauty of what everyone has observed and putting it in words. That's why we have poet laureates to highlight beauty. The most touching part for Scot was when Obama talked about Krystle Campbell. Today our prayers are with the Campbell family of Medford. They're here today. Their daughter, Krystle, was always smiling. Those who knew her said that with her red hair and her freckles and her ever-eager willingness to speak her mind, she was beautiful, sometimes she could be a little noisy, and everybody loved her for it. She would have turned 30 next month. As her mother said through her tears, “This doesn't make any sense.” Scot said that hearing the President of the United States eulogizing their daughter before the world must have meant a lot to her family. Susan said when a family goes through a loss, they look for comfort and these words can help a family find some solace. Scot said the president also spoke about the other two deceased victims as well. Fr. Roger said it was implicit in the remarks that every life is valuable. In this situation we're able to realize that every life is valuable. The fact that the president eulogized these three in his remarks because of what it teaches us. Our Father in heaven also loves his children and offers each one something far greater than a presidential eulogy. And this time next year, on the third Monday in April, the world will return to this great American city to run harder than ever, and to cheer even louder, for the 118th Boston Marathon. (Applause.) Bet on it. (Applause.) Scot said this remark too connected with him both rationally and emotionally. It was important that this be said in this week, that we respond to terrorism by saying the next marathon will be the best ever. Fr. Roger said bigger than the marathon is the race we need to run with endurance. There is an urgency to the race of creating a culture of love, life and justice. That's far greater than the most populous Boston Marathon in history. Scot said it was the largest interfaith prayer service he's ever been part of, certainly with as many people from so many different faiths, which is encouraging in our increasingly secular culture. Fr. Roger said our first response should always be to pray and we have the tremendous example of president and governor. We were at our best today in the Cathedral of the Holy Cross.
