On the Saturday August 30, 2025 edition of The Richard Crouse Show we meet Lauren Holly. You know her from television shows like “Picket Fences,” “NCIS” and “Motive,” among many others. On the big screen you’ve seen her as Mary Swanson, the wealthy but troubled heiress, in the comedy “Dumb and Dumber,” as trophy wife Cindy Rooney opposite Dennis Quaid in “Any Given Sunday,” and many others in a career that spans forty years, and includes comedies like “The Adventures of Ford Fairlane” and “What Women Want,” action movies like “Crank: High Voltage” and dramas like “Chicago Hope.” She joins me today to talk about “Loathe Thy Neighbor,” a new project very near and dear to her heart. The film, which begins in theatres on August 29, follows Will Larkfield, played by Brennan Clost, a young man forced to relocate to his late father’s farm as part of an unexpected inheritance. What begins as a simple missing package soon spirals into a battle of wills with Lauren Holly’s character, the neighbor from hell, Wanda Bellerose, reminding us that sometimes the smallest problems cause the biggest messes. Then, guest James Webb tells his an incredible story. Hailing from Australia, he’s a competitive eater, ranked fourth in the world. He has shattered records, by devouring 59.5 donuts in one sitting and taking on the biggest names in the sport. After overcoming a near-paralyzing illness, James has risen to become the "Champion of the Southern Hemisphere," with his sights set on dethroning the legendary Joey Chestnut at the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest. Today we’re talking about competitive eating as a sport, how he prepares and the documentary “James Can Eat,” his story of resilience, obsession, and jaw-dropping feats will leave you hungry for more!

Ever been outmaneuvered by an 8-year-old? When one dad tried to surprise his daughter with a new bike for her birthday, he never expected her calculated response: "I already have a bike, and bikes are very expensive. Maybe I could just get a phone." What followed was a masterclass in child negotiation that left him with bags of Stitch merchandise and a daughter who still managed to get her coveted Build-A-Bear from grandma the next day.The dads dive deep into the financial fears that accompany parenthood—a conversation rarely had openly but universally experienced. From starting businesses while raising newborns to unexpected job losses coinciding with pregnancy announcements, they share raw stories about making ends meet when it feels impossible. Their collective wisdom? You'll never feel financially "ready" for kids, but you'll find ways to make it work. Whether it's developing simple saving habits, having honest conversations with your partner about money values, or adjusting expectations about what your family truly needs versus wants.Between negotiating with car salesmen (who the guys describe as "mostly douches, sorry not sorry") and navigating the complex world of family budgeting, the conversation turns to what truly matters. One father shares a powerful moment when his son wished they were rich, only to quickly change his mind after learning more money would mean seeing his parents less. Meanwhile, another dad finds unexpected joy in introducing his children to classic comedies like Dumb and Dumber and Ace Ventura, creating moments of connection that transcend any financial concerns. Because at the end of the day, your presence matters more than presents. Subscribe now to join these honest conversations about the messy, beautiful reality of modern fatherhood.

The trio discusses powerful takeaways around attunement, buoyancy, and clarity, along with practical frameworks for improving conversations, pitches, and influence in and out of the clinic. Plus, hear how Jungle Cruise, Dumb and Dumber, and AI tools like ChatGPT all tie in to the modern sales mindset.

Comedies nowadays in 2025 don't have a theatrical opening, they mostly go straight to streaming, but in the 90s, they were a main event! There was a huge comedy boom mid-90s, and Dumb and Dumber was a spectacle! A spectacle Alain never saw until now! Hopefully someday soon, especially with the popularity of The Naked Gun (2025), comedies will debut in theatres once more!

Wall Street Journal tech reporter Sam Schechner says he first suspected artificial intelligence was eating his brain when he used ChatGPT to help write an email to his son's basketball coach. He lives in Paris, and speaks fluent French, but Schechner started asking AI for help with emails, summarizing legal documents, even texting friends. Soon French words didn't come as easily when effort was optional and mental concentration was offloaded to AI. He writes about his experience in a piece for The Wall Street Journal titled How I Realized AI Was Making Me Stupid-and What I Do Now.

Send us a textThe digital revolution continues to transform healthcare, and midwifery is no exception. As we launch Season 12 of The Engaged Midwife Podcast (approaching an incredible 100,000 downloads!), Missi and Cara dive into the fascinating world of artificial intelligence and its applications for midwifery students and clinicians.From study techniques to clinical decision-making, AI offers powerful tools that can streamline workflows and enhance learning—but only when used thoughtfully. We explore how tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini can help synthesize information, create customized study materials, and even assist with complex statistical analysis. However, we also examine the research suggesting that handwriting notes creates stronger neural connections than using AI-generated summaries, raising important questions about how technology shapes learning.For practicing midwives, AI has already become embedded in electronic health records and is increasingly available for generating differential diagnoses, patient education materials, and time management solutions. Yet all these applications come with important ethical considerations around data privacy, academic integrity, and environmental impact.Throughout our conversation, we emphasize the importance of critical thinking and transparency. AI works best when it augments human expertise rather than replacing it—the midwife's clinical judgment remains irreplaceable, even as technology evolves to support it. As Cara puts it, "Work smarter, not harder," but always maintain your professional knowledge and skill.#MidwiferyInnovation #AIinMidwifery #TechInBirth #SmartMidwifery #DigitalMidwife #MidwiferyEducation #WorkSmarterNotHarder @chatgpt @claudeai @microsoftcopilot @googlegemini

Jim Carrey's $10 Million Lesson  Cal has an epiphany as he's giving one of his storytelling workshops. He's able to tie the thought to the moment in 1985 when a down and out actor named Jim Carrey wrote a check to himself for $10 million to be cashed 10 years later when he became a film star. The $10 million did come to Carrey ten years later with the release of the hit Dumb and Dumber. Cal wonders how to visualize the most out of yourself even when you don't believe you're talented in a particular area. The answer applies to everyone and you might want to use it. Check out the episode.

Catherine Austin Fitts, former assistant secretary of Housing and Urban Development under President George H.W. Bush, recently commented on how the US Government is responsible for $21-Trillion in “unauthorized spending” between 1998 and 2015 alone. This was documented by Mark Skidmore of Michigan State University in 2017. Catherine believes much of it went into “underground base and city infrastructure and transportation systems” that have already been built. A Washington Post article in 2010 documented the Hidden World of a massively complex national security and intelligence network infrastructure built across the country in the wake of 911. But that's only part of it, and only encompasses the decade between 2001 and 2010 - not to mention the $2.3-Trillion announced missing one day before 911 and the justification to build this infrastructure. It doesn't include the half a century of public and private construction projects for military command centers like NORAD at Cheyenne Mountain or VIP bunkers under Greenbrier Resort. Some of this is for military control, others for continuity of government, and still others for laboratories perhaps akin to the Hive, or simply for nuclear material storage. In fact NASA just found a decommissioned facility in Greenland that was home to Camp Century and Project Iceworm. All of this spending coupled with authorized military spending adds up to over half of the country's national debt. Many of these bunkers, command centers, facilities, etc., have price tags that in order to add up to the unauthorized trillions must be beyond vast, they must be numerous beyond what we can conceive. And these facilities are worldwide, likely under the ocean as much as they are buried into mountains. The wealthy are also building their own bunkers toady, some of which are luxury facilities. Then there are facilities built right under our feet and meant for flood preparations, like the G-Cans in Tokyo. There are also reports of odd booms and explosions hear around the world for several decades. Some is probably atmospheric, part is geological, and others are possible a result of these projects. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

David Carson from Dumbify delves into the intriguing concept that embracing "dumb" thinking can often lead to innovative solutions. We explore how society has cultivated a reluctance to ask seemingly foolish questions, thereby stifling creativity and potential breakthroughs. Our conversation is enriched by anecdotes illustrating how historical figures, like Isaac Newton, harnessed the power of curiosity and unorthodox thinking to arrive at revolutionary ideas. We also reflect on personal experiences and methodologies that advocate for a shift in mindset—encouraging individuals to welcome and cultivate their "dumb" thoughts as a pathway to discovery and success. Takeaways: Throughout history, the concept of 'dumb' has surprisingly provided solutions to complex problems. As individuals gain more knowledge, they often realize how much they still do not know. Encouraging the asking of seemingly 'dumb' questions can lead to significant creative breakthroughs. Creative thoughts often stem from individuals attempting to replicate others but failing, thereby generating originality. Rewarding curiosity in educational settings can foster a more open and innovative learning environment. The practice of intentionally thinking 'dumb' can lead to the development of new and effective solutions.

Gin & Tonic. Salt & Pepper. Fish & Chips. Done & Dusted. Bread & Butter. Sonny & Cher. Earth Wind & Fire. Lock Stock & Barrel. Signed Sealed & Delivered. All of these examples are what are called Irreversible Binomials & Trinomials. The cute phrases or names that ALWAYS appear in the same order. That sound really stupid if switched–”Jelly and peanut butter anyone?” Jon and Kurt, feeling this is truly excellent smart drivel, delve into the world of irreversible binomials and trinomials. Some they think have it wrong, others they agree are culturally accepted, while still others just seem right to our co-hosts. Yet, as always, they also disagree on a few. Ladies and gentlemen there is no rhyme or reason why you shouldn't listen to this episode hook, line, and sinker. Rock and roll….

Ralph and Lauren take a bold look at a rising issue in modern marketing teams: is AI making your team dumber? Drawing from real-world agency experience, Lauren shares a transparent case study from her own business where AI tools like ChatGPT and Jasper created an illusion of productivity but resulted in lackluster, surface-level insights. The discussion tackles how over-reliance on AI can quietly erode critical thinking, replacing strategic interpretation with generic output that “feels” complete but misses true business impact. You'll learn why being “human in the loop” matters, how to train your team to use AI as a collaborator—not a crutch—and why tools should ask better questions instead of just giving faster answers. This episode is a must-listen for any marketing leader, CMO, or founder using AI to scale without sacrificing intelligence, creativity, and judgment.Chapters:00:00:00 - Kickoff & A Powerful Shoutout to Steve Sims 00:02:21 - AI in Marketing: Game-Changer or Risk? 00:04:26 - When AI Fails: A Shocking Case Study 00:08:06 - Critical Thinking vs AI: Who Wins? 00:13:24 - Smart Fixes & What's Next for Teams 00:25:52 - Final Takeaways & Must-Have ResourcesLINKS AND RESOURCES:Get Your Marketing Performance IndicatorsTM Checklist Now!Get Your nCAC Calculator Now!Get Your nCAC Calculator Now!Make Data Driven Marketing Decisions with ConfidenceThe AI-Driven Leader: Harnessing AI to Make Faster, Smarter DecisionsGo for Stupid: The Art of Achieving Ridiculous GoalsTier 11 JobsPerpetual Traffic on YouTubeTiereleven.comMongoose MediaPerpetual Traffic SurveyPerpetual Traffic WebsiteFollow Perpetual Traffic on TwitterConnect with Lauren on Instagram and Connect with Ralph on LinkedInThanks so much for joining us this week.

Yoo Hoo Boy! It's comedy icon Harland Williams! Harland sits down with Santino to talk about Dumb & Dumber, being too weird for network TV, and his award winning film Fudgy Wudgy Fudge Face! From the set of Half Baked to solo desert trips with mannequins, Harland shares stories that are hilarious, strange, and somehow deeply spiritual. This one goes off the rails in all the best ways exactly how you'd want it. Don't forget to moisturize!

Patrick Bet-David discusses whether ChatGPT is affecting your brain. A new study touches on artificial intelligence's impact on cognitive impairment, especially in areas of critical thinking. The study highlights the potential risk factors associated with relying too heavily on AI tools, and the findings suggest a relationship between technology use and mental acuity.

You might laugh at Dumb and Dumber, but are you living the same way—spiritually? In this message, we explore how godly wisdom is more than just knowing the right verses—it's about building your life on truth instead of impulse. Our world celebrates fast decisions, loud opinions, and blind confidence, but scripture calls us to live wisely and cautiously. Through stories from Proverbs, Jesus' teaching, and Solomon's humble prayer, we uncover how wisdom provides clarity, protection, and opportunity. Without it, you might be making decisions that feel right… but lead to disaster. Don't just live confidently—live wisely.

Greg Dworkin heard from a friend that they have a friend whose other friend says that Vladimir Putin doesn't want to go out with Donald Trump anymore. Or maybe vice versa. Anyway, somebody is gonna be upset over the resumption of arms shipments to Ukraine. Could be Trump. Certainly will be Putin. Might also be Hegseth! The eyes of Texas (and everywhere else) are still upon “Flash Flood Alley,” so they'll have to get their story straight (and tell it to the judge) about whether they do or don't have an emergency alert system, and if so, whether they did or didn't use it. They certainly should have one. After all, they're now acknowledging that extreme weather incidents are human-caused. Sort of. The national obsession over the New York City mayoral election continues, mostly because Zohran Mamdani's sizeable lead in the polls continues. The Adams camp is making some… unusual choices for managing the campaign. Or at least, someone is making them for them. Anyway, the political scientists have a heads up for you, if you've been wondering where the winning coalition would come from. Meanwhile, Donald Trump has opened up (even) dumb(er) new frontiers in his “Trade Wars,” this time with the largest coffee producer in the world and second-most-populous country in the Western Hemisphere: Brazil. And they don't like it. But they are also not as dumb, as anyone can plainly see. Dumber still, but even more frightening, Trump continues to use vast federal powers to prosecute his personal gripes. We heard the other day about his insistence that “investigations” be opened into former FBI Director James Comey and former CIA Director John Brennan. Now we learn that… for some strange reason… the Secret Service decided to tail Comey on his way back from his beach vacation, then haul him in for questioning over that “86 47” message he wrote out in seashells. And it looks like they have the same and more planned for Chris Wray, too. You know, the FBI Director Trump picked after he fired Comey.

What has Eight Legs, Two Fangs, and an Attitude?It's your typical spider of course....only the villains of this creature feature offer much more than that: they swarm, they have high vertical leaps, AND they can kill you with just ONE bite! :o And they happen to reaching the same small-town destination of Canaima at the same time as one mild-mannered family moving from San Francisco out the country for the first time, the Jennings.  They are lead by Dr. Ross played by Jeff Daniels (Speed, Dumb & Dumber, The Newsroom) and his wife Molly played by Harley Jane Kozak (Parenthood, When Harry Met Sally, The Righteous Gemstones)....and wouldn't you know it but Ross himself has an irrational fear of spiders, otherwise known as ARACHNOPHOBIA!  Directed by Frank Marshall (Alive, Congo, Eight Below) and featuring a stellar cast including John Goodman and Julian Sands, this horror comedy (?) was released thirty-five years ago by a studio which didn't know how to promote it - it still did solid business at the time and is now fondly remembered as one of the better family-friendly scare flicks of the '90's!Host & Editor: Geoff GershonEditor: Ella GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a texthttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/
