Connect The Dots with Tom Edison Ascension, Hidden History, and the Shift to 5D Consciousness Host Tom Edison explores the intersection of cultural milestones, extraterrestrial influence, and spiritual evolution. This episode bridges the gap between historical events like the 1964 "Beatlemania" and the modern-day struggle for planetary ascension against "New World Order" control. Historical Milestones and Cultural Shifts The program opens with a reflection on Valentine's Day, tracing its origins from Roman times and the martyrdom of Saint Valentine to its modern commercial evolution. However, the host identifies February 1964 as a more pivotal turning point for humanity. The Beatles' three appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show are credited with fundamentally altering the social fabric, promoting kindness over violence and redefining masculinity through their "long hair" and creative independence. This cultural explosion is framed as the beginning of an irreversible change in the human dynamic. Extraterrestrial Presence and Suppressed Technology A significant portion of the discussion focuses on humanity's interaction with galactic entities, specifically the Pleiadians, who are said to be assisting in DNA upgrades during human sleep. The host alleges that advanced technologies, such as Tesla's free energy and "Med Beds" capable of age reversal and total healing, are being suppressed by the New World Order and energy companies to maintain control. These "Med Beds" are reportedly already in use by the military for secret space programs but remain hidden from the general public. The Architecture of Control and Fake History The narrative challenges mainstream history, suggesting that slavery did not originate in human history but was introduced by negative ET races (like the Dracos and Annunaki) hundreds of thousands of years ago. Modern institutions, including the pharmaceutical industry and the education system, are described as tools for "brainwashing" and creating "obedient slave workers." The host warns that science fiction media, such as Star Trek and Stargate SG-1, often acts as a form of "soft disclosure" for truths that governments refuse to officially acknowledge. Spiritual Ascension and the Path Forward The conclusion of the broadcast emphasizes the transition from the 3rd dimension to the 5th dimension. This "planetary ascension" involves global meditations where participants visualize white light from a central sun to dissolve low-frequency darkness. The host encourages listeners to reconnect with their "Higher Self" (sourced from the 12th dimension) and practice manifestation through a three-step process of decision, invocation, and physical/mental action. He proposes a "Referendum Government" as a solution to current political corruption, where all major decisions are approved by popular vote rather than bribed officials. The broadcast serves as a call to action for humanity to "rebel from suppression" by raising individual and collective frequencies. By looking past "fake history" and embracing their identity as an "angelic human race," the host believes listeners can successfully navigate the ongoing spiritual battle and transition into a higher state of existence.

Today on an another encore edition of the Rarified heir Podcast, we bring you part one of our conversation with Patricia Weidenfeld, daughter of 'The Outrage Comic', Pat Cooper. Known for his explosive (but funny) temper on stage and his somewhat rogue temperament in the business, Cooper's humor revolved around his Italian heritage and calling out things that bothered him, his album cover parody, his seemingly endless Vegas showroom shows, a well-known Seinfeld episode and in later life, his time on The Howard Stern Show. We spoke to Patti about growing up with a father she loved dearly and a mother who seemed to smooth everything over when things went a little awry. We talk about Pat's years growing up in Coney Island, how he got his start in comedy, his early years making his bones on The Ed Sullivan Show, an appearance on the Tom Snyder's Tomorrow show that froze his career in limbo after he called out an show business injustice and more. We also get into their move to Las Vegas in the 1970s, numerous dates in Atlantic City, guest hosting shows like The Merv Griffin Show and other gigs that took him on the road. Life in the Cooper household seemed perfectly as it should be. Until it wasn't. Some things she heard from her parents didn't add up. It seemingly boiled over during a visit to New York City outside a Broadway Theater when her family was confronted by a person claiming to be Pat's son, hijacking their family outing. Who was that person and why hadn't Patti ever heard of or seen him before? And why here and why now? Take a listen to part one of our interview with Patricia Weidenfeld to hear what turns out to be the first out-of-nowhere moment that in many ways turned her idyllic life upside down. This is the Rarified Heir Podcast and everyone has a story. Take a listen.

Throughout the late 1950's and 60's, the comedy duo of (Marty) Allen & (Steve) Rossi performed to sold-out Vegas crowds, recorded best-selling comedy albums and made hundreds of TV appearances (44 of them on “The Ed Sullivan Show"). Sadly, Steve Rossi had passed away earlier in 2014, but Gilbert and Frank tracked down the other half of the legendary team, 92-year-old Marty Allen, to talk about his 60+ years in the business, his brushes with Elvis and the Beatles and the origin of the his signature catch phrase, “Hello Dere!"

Musician, comedian, actor and composer Paul Shaffer was heavily influenced by the musical (and comedy) acts he grew up watching on “The Ed Sullivan Show,” so it was only fitting that we interviewed him in the “Ed Sullivan Room” of the famed New York Friars Club. Not many people can say they worked with James Brown, John Belushi, Sammy Davis, Jr., Jerry Lewis, Brian Wilson, Mickey Rooney AND the infamous Phil Spector, but Paul has — and he shares memorable anecdotes about every one of them. Also, Gilbert and Paul discuss their mutual obsession with a certain Cindy Crawford/Valerie Bertinelli infomercial. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Before Hacks and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, there was the comedienne who started it all. First Lady of Laughs: The Forgotten Story of Jean Carroll (NYU Press, 2024) tells the story of Jean Carroll, the first Jewish woman to become a star in the field we now call stand-up comedy. Though rarely mentioned among the pantheon of early stand-up comics such as Henny Youngman and Lenny Bruce, Jean Carroll rivaled or even outshone the male counterparts of her heyday, playing more major theaters than any other comedian of her period. In addition to releasing a hit comedy album, Girl in a Hot Steam Bath, and briefly starring in her own sitcom on ABC, she also made twenty-nine appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show.Carroll made enduring changes to the genre of stand-up comedy, carving space for women and modeling a new form of Jewish femininity with her glamorous, acculturated, but still recognizably Jewish persona. She innovated a newly conversational, intimate style of stand-up, which is now recognized in comics like Joan Rivers, Sarah Silverman, and Tiffany Haddish. When Carroll was ninety-five she was honored at the Friars Club in New York City, where celebrities like Joy Behar and Lily Tomlin praised her influence on their craft.

Before Hacks and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, there was the comedienne who started it all. First Lady of Laughs: The Forgotten Story of Jean Carroll (NYU Press, 2024) tells the story of Jean Carroll, the first Jewish woman to become a star in the field we now call stand-up comedy. Though rarely mentioned among the pantheon of early stand-up comics such as Henny Youngman and Lenny Bruce, Jean Carroll rivaled or even outshone the male counterparts of her heyday, playing more major theaters than any other comedian of her period. In addition to releasing a hit comedy album, Girl in a Hot Steam Bath, and briefly starring in her own sitcom on ABC, she also made twenty-nine appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show.Carroll made enduring changes to the genre of stand-up comedy, carving space for women and modeling a new form of Jewish femininity with her glamorous, acculturated, but still recognizably Jewish persona. She innovated a newly conversational, intimate style of stand-up, which is now recognized in comics like Joan Rivers, Sarah Silverman, and Tiffany Haddish. When Carroll was ninety-five she was honored at the Friars Club in New York City, where celebrities like Joy Behar and Lily Tomlin praised her influence on their craft.

This week out we salute Jackie Mason who took comedy from the Temple and brought it to Broadway -- with a few roadblocks thrown in his path. Jackie started out his career as a rabbi -- and when he noticed that the funnier he made his sermons the larger the crowd he would draw Jackie connected the dots and made the leap to becoming a full-time comedian. A feud based on a misunderstanding led to a ban from the Ed Sullivan Show and two decades in the comedy wilderness for Jackie, but in the mid-1980s he made a spectacular comeback with The World According to Me, a one-man Broadway show in which Jackie really let the Jewish comedy fly. More shows followed and Jackie scored the highest pop culture tribute of our age when he was featured on The Simpsons as Rabbi Hyman Krustofsky, the father of Krusty the Clown. Find additional clips below and thanks for sharing our shows Want more Jackie? From the start, Jackie was different from other comics, particularly in his willingness to spar a bit with a tough crowd. This clip from the Hollywood Palace back in 1964 shows his skill. https://youtu.be/hPlbXs18kDE?si=jlaYcU8Oi5f88n1N Jackie's career hit it's peak when he returned from a long stint in comedy purgatory to create The World According to Me, a one-man Broadway Shows that in the words of The NY Times "Turn(ed) kvetching into comedy gold." https://youtu.be/5V4zYe23QLg?si=H3KT_GcO5FKisle- Being featured on the Simpsons has become a career highlight for many entertainers and Jackie made the grade when he was featured as Rabbi Hyman Krustofsky, the father of Krusty the Clown. Whatever the name it was unmistakably Jackie. https://youtu.be/-jR2LnD3Jms?si=wgN9M1nV91JAuQIu

In this episode, we dive into the story of Dennis Tufano, the unmistakable voice that brought The Buckinghams to the top of the charts during one of the most exciting eras in American pop and rock music.Dennis Tufano's journey began in Chicago, a city whose vibrant music scene gave rise to countless legends. Long before he was singing “Kind of a Drag” on national television, Dennis was fronting local Chicago bands like The Pulsations, performing in small clubs and perfecting the soulful vocal style that would soon make him famous. When The Pulsations won a TV talent contest and rebranded as The Buckinghams, everything changed—almost overnight.The Buckinghams burst onto the charts in 1967 with “Kind of a Drag,” a song that captured the hearts of fans and climbed straight to number one on the Billboard Hot 100. With Dennis Tufano's velvety voice leading the way, the band followed up with a string of unforgettable hits: “Don't You Care,” “Mercy, Mercy, Mercy,” “Susan,” and “Hey Baby (They're Playing Our Song).”At the height of their success, The Buckinghams were one of the most played American groups on radio, performing on The Ed Sullivan Show, American Bandstand, and countless other programs that defined 1960s pop culture. Their fusion of brass-driven rock and soul-infused pop set them apart from both their British contemporaries and the emerging psychedelic rock sound of the time.But Tufano's story didn't end when the hits stopped coming. After The Buckinghams disbanded, Dennis formed the duo Tufano & Giammarese with his former bandmate Carl Giammarese, recording several critically acclaimed albums in the 1970s. The duo showcased a more intimate, singer-songwriter vibe that highlighted Tufano's range and songwriting depth.From there, Dennis moved into solo work, writing and recording for film and television—most notably contributing the theme song to Grease 2. He also worked as a voice actor and composer, keeping his creative spirit alive in new ways.Today, Dennis Tufano remains a beloved performer on the classic rock and oldies circuit, delighting fans with heartfelt performances that revisit The Buckinghams' timeless hits while celebrating his own musical evolution. His live shows remind audiences why his voice was, and still is, one of the most distinctive in American pop music.In this episode, we talk about his early Chicago days, the meteoric rise of The Buckinghams, and how Dennis carved out a remarkable solo career that's still going strong decades later.If you're a fan of 1960s rock, Chicago music history, or the golden age of pop, this episode is a must-listen.

"Regretting You" is a drama about romance, infidelity and grief based on a popular novel by Colleen Hoover. A teenage girl played by McKenna Grace discovers dark secrets after some family members are lost in a tragic accident. She navigates the tragedy while experiencing a big high school crush. Grace is terrific, as is Allison Williams as her troubled mom. The story is very soapy, contrived and manipulative, so many viewers will feel like they've been jerked around. However, fans of Colleen Hoover, known as "Cohorts," will get exactly what they want in “Regretting You.” Everyone else, beware. The Hulu entry "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle" is a remake and update of a hit thriller from 1992. Mary Elizabeth Winstead plays a wealthy suburban mom who hires a nanny, played by Maika Monroe, who lies about her past and, as it turns out, has a long-standing grudge against the mom. Slowly but surely, all heck breaks loose. You can't blame the talented cast, but this awkward version is saddled with implausible twists and is just a shadow of the original. The Apple TV+ documentary "Stiller & Meara: Nothing is Lost" is a comprehensive, warts-and-all look at the late comedy duo directed by their son, Ben Stiller. The duo achieved fame with their appearances on the “Ed Sullivan Show,” and worked their own marital angst into their routines. As it turns out, Jerry Stiller taped and saved everything in both his public and private life, giving Ben a mountain of material to sort through. Ben discovers some uncomfortable parallels between his parents' struggles and his own. It's a thoughtful showbiz time capsule.

It's Warrior Wednesday on The Other Side of Midnight! Lynn Shaw of Lynn's Warriors joins Lionel to expose the overlooked truth: America is failing its boys. Lionel dives deep into the toxic culture surrounding young men, examining the dangers of "toxic masculinity" and the rise of online rage groups. Lynn details how Big Tech prioritizes profit over children and discusses key legislative efforts like the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA). Get essential, actionable advice on becoming a "warrior" in your own home and inoculating children against this destruction. Lynn's Warriors is committed to raising awareness and ending exploitation by grassroots mobilization, advocacy, and education. Lionel critiques the current political landscape, arguing that Republicans "don't know how to fight" and often rely on "WWE politics" instead of effective messaging. He aims to be the "psychologist general" in charge of propaganda, exposing how "narrowcasting" obscures the truth about the "shadow government" the real force running the show, controlling image and mood. Topics range from Hollywood's output to fundamental Constitutional issues like the separation of church and state. Lionel argues that the current political climate suggests America is headed for a "civil war" of an internal nature, fueled by those who view white Americans and patriots as the enemy.  Lionel delivers an intellectual "complete and total reset" for listeners, often referring to his methodology as a form of "fecal transplantation" for the mind. Lionel provides strategies for winning the intellectual war, including the necessity to weaponize humor, spotlight the rot of systems with style, and flood the zone with truth.

Today, Louis directs and oversees all aspects of character art for Sesame Workshop, the non-profit organization behind Sesame Street.

Brad Zerbo and Jaytriot dive headfirst into the 1960s British Invasion, tracing how the Beatles' 1964 debut on The Ed Sullivan Show sparked a cultural explosion. They explore how the mop-top Beatles injected post-JFK-assassination America with joy and charisma, setting the stage for a flood of UK acts. From the Stones' bluesy swagger and the Who's proto-punk chaos to the Kinks' distorted riffs and the Zombies' haunting grooves, the hosts highlight how British bands reshaped American music while borrowing from U.S. blues and R&B. They dig into stories of staged hysteria, covers that outshone originals, and fights that got the Kinks banned from touring America. Along the way, they spin tracks from the Animals, Manfred Mann, the Yardbirds, and the Spencer Davis Group, tying it all to the seismic shifts in rock history. With personal anecdotes, humor, and even a nod to the “Paul is dead” rabbit hole, this episode captures how the British Invasion forever altered music, culture, and youth identity.

“We did one for Mercedes, which again was very unique and very simple. It was about this guy Raymond who had never tried ice cream before. And it was a great commercial, and it talked about Raymond never having ice cream, and he waited, and he would watch other people have ice cream, and then one day Raymond decided to have ice cream. And then all of a sudden it cuts to a Mercedes logo. And then the last ten seconds, it was for Mercedes, but it was so well done and so unique, and the score was very, very, very unique.” – Ted “Theo” Rosnick This episode's guest returned to Toronto from Boston in 1974 after attending Berklee College of Music. He soon began working as a studio drummer, but his passion for audio production quickly led him to start his own jingle production company, Rosnick Productions, in 1975. Through hard work and dedication, he quickly established himself as Canada's top audio producer and audio director for commercials. He went on to partner with Steve McKinnon in 1990, forming RMW Music, and the company remained the top music production company in Canada for decades before being sold to Vapor Music in 2016. Since that sale, he's remained with Vapor as a Creative Director, continuing to bring his expertise and passion to many projects and to the industry. His work is recognized not just in Canada but globally, having shaped the sound of major brands like IKEA, Molson, Subaru, Mercedes, Peroni, and Heinz, among many others. Over his five-decade career, he's earned hundreds of advertising awards for his music and sound design, always pushing creative boundaries with fresh ideas and meticulous attention to detail – all of which are things we definitely appreciate here.Beyond advertising, he's made his mark in sound design and music for feature films and documentaries, and he's the executive producer and audio director of the well-known advertising podcast IOFA with Aaron Starkman. He's also mentored countless emerging talents over the years, a role that he takes great pride in. Just this past February, he decided to retire from the advertising industry after an illustrious fifty-year career, and he now enjoys spending time at his cottage in northern Ontario with family and friends, playing the drums, and catching Raptors games.His name is Ted, or “Theo,” Rosnick, and getting the opportunity to speak with someone who has such a rich knowledge of the advertising industry and how it's evolved over the years – not to mention how much sound has played a part in that – is a real treat. If you want to know where advertising's been, where it is now, and where it might be heading, this is a discussion you won't want to miss.

Lee Shapiro's story is one of those great Jersey tales — a local kid with a gift for music who ends up on the world stage, shaping the soundtrack of an era. Born in 1953, Lee was a piano prodigy from the start. By the time he was a teenager, he wasn't just playing other people's songs — he was arranging, orchestrating, and leading his own big band. That early love for music, especially jazz and swing, gave him a strong foundation that would later carry him into pop history.The turning point came in '73, when Lee was only 19. The Four Seasons were looking for a new keyboard player. Bob Gaudio, the original keyboardist and songwriter for the band, was stepping away from performing. Lee auditioned, armed with raw talent and a fearless energy. Frankie Valli was impressed, and just like that, this Jersey kid found himself as the new keyboardist and musical director for one of America's most iconic groups.It was a dream come true. Lee had actually seen The Four Seasons years earlier on The Ed Sullivan Show and thought to himself, “They've got a piano player. That could be me.” And suddenly, it was.Joining Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons in the '70s meant stepping into a band that was ready for a reinvention. Rock and pop were changing fast, and the group needed a fresh sound to connect with younger audiences. Lee brought that spark. He wasn't just playing keys — he was arranging, conducting, and helping shape the new sound of the Seasons.His fingerprints are all over some of the band's most beloved hits of the decade. From “Who Loves You.” or “December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night).” For seven years, Lee toured the world with Frankie Valli, playing to sold-out crowds, recording in top studios, and keeping the band's sound tight as their musical director. He was living the dream.But Lee's story doesn't end with the Four Seasons. In '81, he stepped off the road to focus on other creative ventures. He wrote songs with some of the industry's best. He orchestrated for Barry Manilow's Copacabana, The Musical in '91. In the late '90s, Lee co-created the Rock 'n' Roll Elmo doll for Fisher-Price. The toy became a runaway hit, selling millions and proving that Lee's creativity extended far beyond the stage and the studio.But music always called him back. In 2010, with Jersey Boys shining a fresh spotlight on the Four Seasons' legacy, Lee put together a new project: The Hit Men. This was a supergroup made up of musicians who had actually played with some of the biggest names in music. Alongside former Four Seasons bandmates, Lee and The Hit Men performed the songs they had lived and breathed. Audiences loved it.In 2014 Lee was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis but kept going. He performed for years after his diagnosis. Eventually, when performing became more difficult, he shifted into managing the band, ensuring that The Hit Men could keep bringing classic rock and pop to audiences across the country.In 2018, Lee released a special project close to his heart — a solo piano tribute album called Lee Shapiro Plays the Greatest Hits of Frankie Valli. It was his way of revisiting the music that had shaped his life, this time in a more intimate, cocktail-style format.Over the years, Lee and The Hit Men earned recognition from the music world too. In 2019, they received an award from the Musicians Hall of Fame in Nashville, and in 2020, Lee was nominated as a Legend Musician by the East Coast Music Hall of Fame.Looking back, Lee Shapiro's career feels like a tapestry woven from different threads of creativity — the Jersey boy with a big band, the young keyboardist who helped shape the sound of the Four Seasons, the songwriter and arranger who explored Broadway and commercials, the inventor who made kids smile with Elmo, and the bandleader who kept the music alive with The Hit Men.Lee joins us as our special guest this week to recount his incredible story.

“I said, ‘Well, uh, my team and I would love to see the video,' and the woman at Lost Highway said, ‘All right, let me pop a VHS in FedEx, it'll be there tomorrow morning.' So, we watched the Johnny Cash Hurt music video and once we'd wiped a tear out of our eyes, I got on the phone. I said, ‘Retta, put us in, coach. We want to play.' And the rest is history. It was and remains still the most iconic music video of an artist doing a cover to date.” – Andy Gesner This episode's guest is the owner and president of HIP, one of the most trusted names in music marketing.

(0:00:00) - From Sound to PromotionOur conversation starts off with Andy's very first memory of sound, which just happens to be the Beatles' historic performance on The Ed Sullivan Show. “Well, my sister starts screaming like a banshee and she starts twirling around like a whirling dervish,” he recalls. “And I look over at my brother, and his jaw hits the floor. And I look at this little black and white TV and there are these four guys with what at the time was considerably long hair.” He tells us about how his career shifted from performance to promotion, and what his work on Johnny Cash's classic “Hurt” video taught him about taking creative risks. “It was like, ‘We can't play a Johnny Cash video on MTV, no way,'" he remembers producers saying at the time. “People thought Johnny's version of Hurt was a bit too out there.
