Podcasts about Duckie

Send us a textKatie and Bridget make their own prom dresses as they re-watch the 80's classic: Pretty in Pink! Come along as we meet Andie, a teenage girl who's POOR. DON'T FORGET IT! She's got style, she's got a job, she's got full time mother responsibilities to her out of work father, and she's got her own personal stalker! Aka her "friend" Duckie! When Andie gets asked out by Blane, one of the "richies" from her school, they have the worst first date ever and after they make out she says she loves him! Also he immediately invites her to prom! Wtf! But this movie asks the deep questions we all have wondered at some point in our lives, such as: Can a poor girl date a rich dude? Should we call the police and/or the guidance counselor about Duckie and the fact that he's been held back for the last couple of years? Is prom the most important event in a young girls life or is dumping all the loser men around you and going to fashion school the most important instead!? Released in 1986, it was written by John Hughes and stars Molly Ringwald, Jon Cryer, Harry Dean Stanton, Annie Potts, Andrew McCarthy, and James Spader.

This week Duckie interviews Long time People and Planet activist Zelda Grimshaw on her experiances, observations, and theories on the trend of, to put it in her words, 100 young activists becoming maybe 3 older activist. Zelda shares what she has notest about this trend, why she thinks this happens, and Duckie tries to understand how, as a young activist, them and their cohort can better address this trend and stay accountable to the work and justice we say we are commited to.

Have you ever had one of the those days when you just wanted to stop the world and have an adventure with your best friends? We know that we sure have! Along with special guest Jessica Sandidge we dive back in time to reminisce about the blissful freedom of high school skip days as we discuss the John Hughes classic Ferris Bueller's Day Off. We ask the important questions, like if Ferris is a good friend, how do you know when a prank has gone too far, is Ferris just Duckie from Pretty in Pink with financial privilege, and why did Jeannie get a car when Ferris only got a computer? In this episode we pack in more topics than Ferris Bueller can pack activities into a day off. Grab a drink, kick up your feet, and have a laugh with us because as Ferris Bueller said "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." Don't miss this awesome episode!

“What we're gonna do right here is go back, way back!”If you were really down with the cool kids in 1984, you would have most definitely have been passing around the school prized C90 cassettes featuring much copied Streetsounds compilations. And somewhere in there was Kurtis Blow's AJ Scratch track with those immortal sampled words from the Jimmy Castor Bunch in 1972. Straight out onto The BMXs and down to throw some funky worm shapes on that strip of lino!Or, in this writer's case, 1984 was mainly spent in a bedroom hovering over the play and pause button to catch a clean edit (without Simon Bates) of Two Tribes, still at number one after 5 weeks! But which mix would we get this week? Now, THIS was anticipation, pop kids!1984. A pop year of decadence, contradictions, conflict, controversy and coming of age. A year that authors (and the BBC) told us would feature impending, inevitable Armageddon. Annihilation, it turned out, came in the shape of a plethora of 12” mixes, plastic smiles, snoods, 808 drum machines, hairspray, neon and (red) balloons. How was it for you?In the third decade of the 21st century, a time surely we wouldn't (a) remember 1984 or (b) still be around to remember 1984, the team at NOW Music HQ presented the second in a (now) glorious series of curated Yearbooks. And what an album (and accompanying extra volume!) we have to rediscover. The sun is most definitely shining brighter than Doris Day!So for this special episode we're joined by two poptastic friends of the show to take a deep dive into 1984. Journalist, DJ and author Ian Wade and journalist, author and broadcaster Jude Rogers.Jude can be found contributing musings and writing about music, culture and much more in The Guardian, Observer and The Quietus amongst many others. Her first (best selling!) book, The Sound of Being Human: How Music Shapes Our Lives is available through White Rabbit books.Ian has written for Classic Pop, Record Collector, The Quietus, Official Charts, Sunday Times Culture as well as doing time at such titles as Smash Hits and The Face many years ago. He has worked as a PR on BBC's Later… with Jools Holland and occasionally DJs at Spiritland and Duckie. And his debut book 1984: The Year Pop went Queer is published by NineEight Books in July 2024.And whilst we don't take a forensic look at every one of the 80 tracks on the 1984 Yearbook (and the further 60 on the extra volume) we instead provide you with an opportunity to explore the sights, sounds, culture, music, genres, tribes and (school!) fashion that makes this year so thoroughly iconic for so many reasons.Join us then, as we turn up the neon and dance through mutually agreed destruction in celebration of 1984!

Mark 2:23-3:6One sabbath he was going through the grainfields; and as they made their way his disciples began to pluck heads of grain. The Pharisees said to him, “Look, why are they doing what is not lawful on the sabbath?” And he said to them, “Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need of food? He entered the house of God, when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the bread of the Presence, which it is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and he gave some to his companions.” Then he said to them, “The sabbath was made for humankind, and not humankind for the sabbath; so the Son of Man is lord even of the sabbath.”Again he entered the synagogue, and a man was there who had a withered hand. They watched him to see whether he would cure him on the sabbath, so that they might accuse him. And he said to the man who had the withered hand, “Come forward.” Then he said to them, “Is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the sabbath, to save life or to kill?” But they were silent. He looked around at them with anger; he was grieved at their hardness of heart and said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was restored. The Pharisees went out and immediately conspired with the Herodians against him, how to destroy him. The hardest assignment I ever had in seminary was to put down the duckie. To explain what that means, I'll need a little help from Ernie and Hoots the Owl. In seminary I took a class called Soil and Sabbath with Nate Stucky, professor of Old Testament and director of the Farminary, this magical place that combined small scale agriculture and theological education. At the first class, Nate had us pick up a duck and as I remember it, the duck, much like Ernie and his duck, represented the thing we clung to so tightly. And for a bunch of young people at seminary, we held fervently to our identities as students, achievers, who wrote impressive papers, read lots of books, and would become great pastors and professors because of all that. The assignment that was so hard was this: put down your duck for at least six consecutive hours each week and during these six hours write down, tell someone, or otherwise recall a story of God's saving action or provision. And while six hours may not sound like much, it was surprisingly difficult. After a few hours I would get antsy knowing there were always more pages to read, a study group to attend, or papers to work on. And it didn't just affect me. This practice of sabbath, of putting down the duck, was Katelyn's favorite assignment. She loved the rhythm it enforced in our newly minted marriage and the fact that for six hours she didn't have to hear about some boring book or theologian. I didn't always keep my Sabbath. At midterms and finals, I carried my duck 24/7. And after the class, our sabbath [my sabbath] was never as intentional as it was that first semester. This assignment, more than any other, showed me how my worth, how good of a pastor I would be, how I saw and understood myself, was wrapped up in what I produced, by how busy I was, and how well I did in my classes.Stopping, even for six hours, disrupted all of that. But that's exactly what sabbath is supposed to do.The commandment to observe the sabbath is listed in two places in the Bible. In Exodus, God spoke to Moses and said “Remember the sabbath, keep it holy” and gave this explanation as to why: “for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea and all that is in them, but rested the 7th day; therefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day and consecrated it”. In short, do as God did. God rested from work so you should rest from work. Deuteronomy, however, is a bit different. It's the same commandment, but a different explanation. “Remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God brought you out from there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm; therefore the Lord your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.” Here, the Israelites are invited to rest not to imitate God but to see what God has done for them and see who they truly are. For 400 years, the Israelites were enslaved, forced to make bricks each and every day with no rest. Their life was consumed by their work, their worth was only found in how much they produced. Then after leaving Egypt, God says one day you won't work or make anything. It was a radical reorientation reminding Israel that they are no longer slaves, their worth did not come from how many bricks they made, and their identity did not come from their work. God had made them free and would provide for them, even when they didn't work because they were God's people, chosen and loved. Rest made them see this. And look how inclusive, how far reaching the sabbath invitation was: animals, servants, immigrants among them, all were extended the same rest, because no one and no thing should be forced to work their life away. Rest is a gift for all of creation.Maybe like the Israelites, your identity is wrapped up in work, feeling like your worth comes from what you produce, how much money you make, or the title you carry. Maybe you're wrapped up in being the perfect parent or spouse, or weighing the right number on a scale. Who are you when the children move out, or you get divorced, or you retire, or your body can no longer do what it once could? What's the duckie you can't put down? Sabbath is a rhythm to help you see and grasp the identity you have as a beloved child of God made in the image of God.This one day of rest shows us our value as a person is not found in what we do or how busy we are but in whose we are. It is a form of grace; and like all grace, it disrupts our lives and causes us to change how we see ourselves. And not only are we changed by sabbath but so too are our days, our families, even our communities. It is a hard grace for us to receive, but there are practical ways to help establish a sabbath. Dorothy Bass advises avoiding three things: work, commerce, and worry. Working nonstop makes us our own God, thinking all we have is by what we've done. And how prideful to think the world rotates because of our work. Stopping, just for one day, gives space for us to reflect on all that God has done and all the ways God provides for us. And we'll find that when we have balance with work, we'll encourage others to have that too. As for commerce, buying and spending are wrapped up in work. As Bass notes, “commerce creates the conditions for work and often more work. When we pause buying and spending, we pause work for others also.”And likely the hardest thing to not do is worry. If you aren't working, then you are worrying about work, or what needs done around the house, or the family problem that needs to be addressed, or the upcoming election and latest headlines. While it is undoubtedly hard to cast away our worries completely, we can refrain from things that induce worry, radical things like having your phone by your side, reading the news, checking Facebook or your email, or pausing the house project.This may sound restricting, oppressive even. But the intent is the opposite. Sabbath is a day made for you, as Jesus tells us, a day to be life giving and rejuvenating. A day where you are free to rest, celebrate, and feast. Walk, play, and pray. Love and be loved. Serve, study, and sing. And most importantly, free to worship and give thanks for the grace of God that is ours through Jesus. Every sabbath is a little easter celebrating that we need not work ourselves to death in order to save ourselves. Christ has done that for you. No matter how well you keep the sabbath, it does not get you to heaven. And neither does any amount of work you do or money you make. So put down the duckie and remember the sabbath. If a whole day seems too much at first, try it for six hours. You might be surprised at how hard this is and how it changes not only your day, but your family's day too. Which is why sabbath isn't meant to be done alone. Sabbath is done best in a community, a group of people willing to go against the culture of ceaseless consumption and production.Sabbath is the grace of rest, helping us see that who we are cannot be reduced to the work we can or cannot do, and tells us that we are loved, you are loved simply because you are a child of God. Sabbath truly is grace with no strings attached. Thanks be to God. Amen.

The Guys watched a lot of movies in the 80's and 90's, and a lot of them exist thanks to writer/producer/director/collaborator/uncredited actor John Hughes.  Without Hughes, would we have the Brat Pack?  Would the pop culture references we know and love be absent from our vocabulary?  Would anyone who survived their teenage years during those two decades been able to recognize their angst?   You'll have to listen to get The Guys' answers to these and many more questions on the subject of the legacy John Hughes left us.  Jay handles the obituary page in this episode with memories of running through airports and slowly chasing white Broncos.  Art's rebel tendencies surface, and Robbie wants to be (or was it see?) a hero.  Jay's Regrettable Superhero of the week leaves The Guys a little perplexed on the he/she question, because Madam Fatal is not the droid they were looking for.  Join Art, Robbie, Jay and Duckie this week, for the podcast with almost as many episodes as there are Beethoven movie sequels.

They all know it's Dynamite, And the music went on and on and on…The history books will tell us that, in theory, 1973 shouldn't have worked.Terrorist campaigns, oil shortages, petrol rations, power cuts. Peters and Lee.However, as the saying goes from great adversity comes great art. Or was it great sitcoms? Either way, 1973 stands not just as one of the greatest pop years of the decade, one could argue of all time. Really, I hear you cry? Where is the evidence that a year that could see Donny Osmond hit the top spot twice needs to be elevated to such greatness? And we didn't even win the Eurovision Song Contest? CONVINCE ME!1973 was perhaps the year where the decade finally shook off the ghosts of the Sixties. The Seventies had arrived and with breathless confidence, swagger and a reclamation of joyful pop by ‘the kids', the year provides an embarrassment of musical and cultural riches. 1973 had put on its best glam gladrags and was ready to light the fuse for the rest of the decade.Colour had arrived across UK TV sets just in time for the like of Slade, Elton, Bowie, Roxy Music and a host of others to trailblaze a lightning streak of supercharged escapism across the charts and into our homes every Thursday evening on Tops of the Pops. Suzi Quatro, Alvin Stardust, Wizzard and Mud joined the glam trail with huge glittery doses of pop sensibility and killer choruses, that at times felt as if the centre couldn't hold. David Essex provided one of the most memorable songs of the year as ‘Rock On' also spearheaded 1973's revival love affair with Rock and Roll as seen in the smash hit film ‘That'll be The Day'. But this stellar year also gave us a wealth of classic soul and funk, many of which still soundtrack our lives 50 years later. Let's celebrate the greats such as Diana Ross, The Temptations, Gladys Knight, Marvin Gaye. The list of highlights (just like the beat, pop pickers) goes on and on.And in 2023, the team at NOW have proudly provided us with a Yearbook and extra volume that together curates over 140 hits and memories from 1973; a pop year like no other. A compilation that is worthy of the title A CLASSIC.Joining me for this special episode is music consultant and Duckie legend Mark Wood and music journalist, author and cofounder of needle mythology records Pete Paphides. Discover why and how Mark has documented the whole year through his amazingly tireless, daily Facebook updates - and why 1973 is such an important year for him. Revisit Pete's memories of growing up in a chip shop and the sights and sounds that triggered his own fascination with pop. Along the way, also share in some fabulous anecdotes and stories including the tale of Roy Wood's lost man bag, Alvin Stardust's minders, which 1973 topped Saint Etienne's all time list, a plethora of Beatles related links and facts and how some Daytona divine intervention soundtracked a 21st century fairground ride for one of our guests. All of this and much, much more. Whether you were there first time around or are rediscovering the glam and excitement all over again, this is a very special episode that you'll not want to miss!Like Christmas, everyday baby.

While the album Whitesnake may not be the debut album from the band Whitesnake, this self-titled seventh studio album might as well be a debut, as only two members were present from the previous album.  Known in the UK as 1987, and in Japan as Serpens Albus, this album featured returning members John Sykes on guitars and backing vocals, and David Coverdale on lead vocals.  Additionally Neil Murray was on bass, Aynsley Dunbar was on percussion, and Don Airey was on keyboards.David Coverdale was the lead singer for Deep Purple, and left the group in 1976.  He did a couple of solo albums, the first of which was named “White Snake.”  He formed the band Whitesnake as his backing band in 1978.  They had a lot of success in the UK, Europe, and Japan with their early albums, but Coverdale wanted to break through in North America by the mid-80's.  He started moving from a blues/hard rock sound to a more glam metal sound, starting with the album "Slide It In" in 1984, and fully embraced the heavy metal sound and hair band image with this album.Whitesnake would get significant airplay, with two singles going to number 1 (Here I Go Again) and number 2 (Is This Love?) on the Billboard US charts.  Their videos would be staples of MTV, with prominent exposure of Tawny Kitaen, Coverdale's girlfriend and soon-to-be wife.  The band would be broken up shortly after the album was complete, leaving David Coverdale as the sole member by the time they went on tour.  This was despite the fact that John Sykes co-wrote all but two of the songs on the album.  Get your hair metal on as Bruce puts his metal hair on, presenting this week's album. Bad BoysA deeper cut, this song is heavy on the rock and light on the significance of the lyrics.  “Bad bad boys, getting wild in the street, wild in the city, I see you - you see me.”  Much of the album has this heavy rock sound.Crying In the Rain '87This track that starts the album is a reworked song originally released by the group in 1982.  The original is more bluesy and has a slower tempo than this version.  The song was inspired by David Coverdale's divorce.Give Me All Your LoveThis was the fourth single from the album, and it reached number 58 on the US Top 100 charts.  By the time the single was released in January 1988 a new guitar solo had been recorded by Vivian Campbell, replacing guitarist and co-writer John Sykes.  Campbell would tour with the band but would leave before the next album.Still of the NightThe first single from the album may have only hit number 79 on the Billboard Hot 100, but it received significant airplay on rock stations and MTV.  The comparisons to Led Zeppelin were frequent, not just for the guitar riffs, but also for the heavy drumming and similarity between the vocalizations of Coverdale and Robert Plant.  The song is about obsession, maybe a vampire, maybe a stalker. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Love and Marriage by Frank Sinatra (from the television series “Married...With Children”)This anti-Cosby Show family dystopia followed the antics of shoe salesman Al Bundy and his family. STAFF PICKS:Tonight, Tonight, Tonight by GenesisLynch gets the staff picks going with a single from Genesis's album Invisible Touch.  It went to number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 despite being written less as a pop song and more like the prog rock style that Genesis used earlier in the decade.  The lyrics are about a conversation with a drug dealer, a fact that must have been missed when Michelob used the song to promote their beer.Love Removal Machine by The CultWayne's staff pick is the first single from The Cult's third album, Electric.  It went to number 15 on the Mainstream Rock charts in the United States.  Lead singer Ian Astbury compares this song to getting on your favorite motorcycle.  The opening riff is often compared to “Start Me Up” by the Rolling Stones.Ahead by Wire Rob features the closest post punk band Wire would get to a pop single.  It has a spacey, ethereal sound.  Wire had extensive influence over many groups, including Sonic Youth, The Cure, and R.E.M.  First We Take Manhattan by Jennifer WarnesBruce closes out the staff picks with a song written by Canadian singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen.  Jennifer Warnes originally did this song for a Cohen tribute album, and it features guitarist extraordinaire Stevie Ray Vaughan.  The song itself is dark and apocalyptic, with lyrics told from the perspective of a terrorist. COMEDY TRACK:Put Down the Duckie by Hoots the Owl and ErnieWe first learned that we have to put down the duckie if we want to play the saxophone from this skit, which aired on Sesame Street for the first time in April 1987.

In this episode, as Biden comes for guns, again, he doubles down with outrageous mass shooting claims. Never was a shot fired in J6 but it's equated to the Civil War and Pearl Harbor.

Andie is an outcast, hanging out either with her older boss, who owns the record store where she works, or her quirky high school classmate Duckie, who has a crush on her. When one of the rich and popular kids at school, Blane, asks Andie out, it seems too good to be true. As Andie starts falling for Blane, she begins to realize that dating someone from a different social sphere is not easy. Dir. Howard Deutch 1986 --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/movieslastnight/message

Meet 7-year old Greyson AKA DUCKIE! Duckie and his family might not have even been on Bert's Big Adventure had it not been for apartment hunting! We'll explain… In December 2014, Greyson was born. Right after he was born, doctors found a brain bleed with signs of a stroke. Greyson having hypoplastic left heart syndrome meant he had half a working heart, and treatment included a series of 3 open heart surgeries. 13 days after being born, he had his 1st surgery with a 75% chance of survival. Five months later, he had his 2nd open heart surgery. When Greyson was removed from a respirator for the first-time weeks after being born, his crying sounded more like quacking. Nikki said he was her little Duckie, and the name has stuck ever since. He grew to love and embrace the nickname. Our friends at Rule One Investing heard that Duckie is a BIG Go-Cart enthusiast so they decided to partner up with RBM of Alpharetta and K1 Speed Indoor Karting to make sure he gets to enjoy his need for speed! RBM of Alpharetta, Rule One Investing and K1 Speed have a surprise for Duckie. He's getting a brand new K1 Speed racing uniform to ride in style at K1 Speed, Duckie's favorite kart racing facility that is donating an Adrenaline Pass, which includes a 1-year membership and up to 25 races for free! Plus indoor racing gloves, t-shirts and a trucker hat!  AND last but not least…a new GoCart you can use at home, along with a helmet of course! Safety first :) Big thanks to Rule One for providing our family with a one of a kind VIP race-car experience for Duckie and his whole family on a pro racetrack in Rule One's official race car and driver!
