Trump just stormed off the “Meet the Press” set after going nuclear on Kristen Welker and NBC's nonstop 2020 election lies. You HAVE to see this. The moment Trump had enough of the gaslighting and walked out is pure fire — this is what fighting back against the fake news looks like. In this explosive clip, President Trump calls out NBC as a crooked, one-sided network and refuses to play NBC's rigged game any more. No more softball questions. No more pretending the 2020 election was fair. Just straight truth bombs that every conservative has been waiting for. We also cover: Spencer Pratt loses the Los Angeles mayoral race? Israel & Iran continue to shoot at each other. John Fetterman attacks “P-Hustle” s*xting scandal. AI just surpassed human traffic. Scott Pelley is the PROBLEM in journalism. If you're sick of the mainstream media's constant attacks on Trump and America First values, this video will fire you up. This isn't just another interview — it's a turning point moment that shows Trump is DONE tolerating the lies. Comment below RIGHT NOW: Was this Trump's best takedown yet? YES or NO?

Charles Manson famously said, “You can't kill me. I'm already dead.” I thought about that quote as the 60 Minutes scandal erupted, with a conversation between reporter Scott Pelley and newly hired producer Nick Bilton. From the NYT:“She is murdering ‘60 Minutes,'” [Scott Pelley] said. “She does not love this place. She was brought in to kill it, and she's been doing exactly that.”Mr. Pelley added: “She has no qualifications for her job; you have slender qualifications for this job. The changes that she's made at the ‘Evening News' have been catastrophic, so why should we expect that any of this is going to be any better?”Mr. Bilton responded: “Well, I will show you. That's what I have to say. That is my plan over the next two weeks. I'll be meeting with everyone. I'm very excited to meet with everyone, yourself included.”Needless to say, it didn't exactly go as planned. Several sanctimonious “don't you know who I am” statements later, Pelley was out. 60 Minutes isn't quite dead, but it is a relic of the past. In the 1990s, it was pulling in 20-30 million viewers. That dropped to 14-16 million in the 2000s. By the 2010s, it was down to 10-12 million. Now, just 9 million people tune in every week in a country of 340 million. Much of that is due to the changes in technology, but still. There is no doubt that 60 Minutes, like all of legacy media, is trapped inside the same bubble that thinks Jimmy Kimmel's nightly monologue is still relevant, believes the Oscars still represent the majority of moviegoers, and that the New York Times has its finger on the pulse of everyday America. Like so much of what we might call “resistance era culture,” there doesn't seem to be a place for 60 Minutes in our culture now, beyond being a propaganda tool for the Democrats, which explains why so many of them feel a profound sense of loss now that Bari Weiss was brought in to give them a refresh. Pelley's statement to call out the new management at 60 Minutes was the hissy fit heard round the world. The irony is that his statement is itself bad journalism. He throws around serious allegations without offering any concrete examples:Pelley has since talked to the New York Times to explain what he means by some of this, but even still, these are all examples of his own bias, one he can't see and refuses to admit even exists. Instead, he insists that 60 Minutes is now showing bias simply by representing the other point of view.In the interview, he explains how Bari Weiss wanted him to portray the other side of the story in the killing of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. He says he did not think she drove her car into the officer or that Pretti was in any way violent. While that doesn't mean they should have lost their lives, there is no question that they were at war with federal officers in a way we've never seen since the last Civil War. His bias was front and center at a speech in 2025, where his mass delusions about what this country has become were laid bare. This guy was willing to give Bari Weiss a chance, come on.Already a legend in his own mind, Pelley is writing his own legacy now as a self-made hero who stood up to the fascist regime.Here is Michael Moynihan: A Woketopia, if You Can Keep ItSome say 60 Minutes never recovered from its biggest scandal, when CBS Corporate forced the show to censor an interview with Big Tobacco whistleblower Jeffrey Wigand, as depicted in Michael Mann's brilliant film The Insider. The Hollywood of today would never make a movie like that unless it somehow blamed Trump and the Republicans. Not only wouldn't they make it, but they couldn't make it, no one inside the empire would allow it because, contrary to their own mass delusions, the fascism was always coming from inside the house — all sticks of wood bound together as one, where no dissent is allowed.I look around now, and I see relics of the old empire. They're frantic and wild-eyed. They're terrified that it all came crashing down. They don't know why America turned away. But I do. We never set out to build an empire. For us, it was riding the wave of new technology, new social media, a new computer in our pockets, and a brand new president to bring us into the promised land.It was not Donald Trump's fault that our empire collapsed. It was the old cliche about how power corrupts. We acquired too much of it. Every company, institution, celebrity, movie studio, publishing house, and ordinary person has a social media platform. If you controlled social media, you could control them. Our public humiliation factory kept everyone in line, lest they be “it” on social media.That was true even before Trump won, but the tweak to the algorithm in 2017, Donald Trump becoming president and ruling over Twitter at the same time, sent those of us inside the empire into waves of uncontrollable mass hysteria. Many of them would never come out of it and are still locked in the spell of the mass delusion that a “fascist dictator, racist, rapist, criminal, pedophile” won the election in America not once, but twice. Somebody had to be lying. Pelley simply can't tell the story the other way because he can't see it. He's still inside of it. I see them now, those who bought the dream like I did, befuddled as to what to do next. They just want their power back, their empire, their utopia. Use fear, that always works to drive lazy voters to the polls. Fear of what? Tax cuts for the rich? Fox News? No, fear of the big things, the existential things, like “fascism” and “democracy.”How do you even come back from that and make a pitch to the people that you should be put back in power to rule over a country you believe is under a Nazi occupation? How does Bruce Springsteen, Robert De Niro, Barbra Streisand, Katie Couric, Ellen DeGeneres, not to mention every single Democrat politician, come back from that?Maybe it's the effect of the internet on our brains, but the so-called “resistance” seems to have lost touch with the tangible reality of history, of what it looks like to fight real fascism. What Nazis really were. When you can make any reality you want, why wouldn't you?They are fine with the guy who has a Nazi tattoo because to them, that isn't real. Of course, leave it to Salena Zito to do the job of a real journalist and remind us:70-80 million people died in World War II fighting to save the world from a fascist dictator, a real one. How can these people live with themselves by spreading the lie that we are living through anything like that now? And that, more than anything, is why the empire collapsed. It was built on a foundation of delusions and lies. Bari Weiss and the Fourth TurningI have Bari Weiss to thank for starting this Substack. Very few people had the courage or the moxie to stand up to the Twitter mob back in 2020, but she did. I was on Twitter the night the mob came for her. The screeching scolds had already been nipping at her heels at the New York Times after she was brought in to shake up the ideological chokehold the Left had on the paper (and still does). They hated her, gossiped about her, shunned her, and yet, there she was, showing up anyway. She is built of stronger stuff than the kind of person who would ever crumple under the weight of the mob. Tom Cotton's essay, Send in the Troops, reflected the views of most Americans, that if the riots over the Summer could not be controlled, the military should be brought in. Their opinions did not matter to the mob or, apparently, to the New York Times. While 60 Minutes spent many stories on January 6th, they barely touched the riots in the Summer of 2020. They didn't talk about the false narrative of Jacob Blake in Kenosha. That was left to local reporters.They never told the other side of the story because no one did until Bari Weiss tried and was smacked down in a way that woke me up. It was like the lantern dropping out of the sky in The Truman Show. It punctured the delusion at long last, and I realized that I was not getting the truth from the legacy media. They were lying to us and gaslighting us because Trump had to lose the election, and nothing else could matter. But the truth still mattered to me. And it mattered to Bari Weiss. Eventually, she would launch a Substack revolution with The Free Press and urge others to follow her. And so I did. Weiss is a millennial, the generation that's to take the baton from the Baby Boomers, per the book, The Fourth Turning. You can see this unfolding everywhere, but perhaps nowhere as profoundly as with what happened at the Times and now at 60 Minutes.Here is how the Times' Lulu Garcia-Navarro's interview with Pelley went on how he came to know Bari Weiss:Um, yeah, sure pal. That sounds like padding for an upcoming lawsuit, not the truth. There is no way the Scott Pelley, who gave that speech at Wake Forest, is going to give someone hired by David Ellison “the benefit of the doubt.” That he had never even heard of Bari Weiss or had no idea any scandal had erupted at the Times over the Tom Cotton op-ed says it all. The Fourth Turning is like winter. The old must die to make way for the new. Trump didn't collapse the empire on his own, but he's a “Gray Champion” all the same. The one Baby Boomer who could tear it all down to make way for the millennials, like Bari Weiss, to reshape the future for the generations to come.MAGAIn 2020, I escaped the Doomsday Cult our empire had become and was searching for signs of life, for truth, for something that felt real. I began driving across the country and saw an America that people like me had forgotten even existed. It wasn't a virtual world where we make our own reality. It was a tangible place, with things people built with their own hands. It was farms, churches, town squares, neighborhoods, highways, and factories. What we built online had no place for this America. If you never understand that, you'll never understand MAGA. From the hills, the backyards, and the fields, one name called out from this forgotten America: Trump.Even now, in 2026, these signs still stand. Not just in one state, in nearly every state. Trump is not in power because he's a fascist. He's in power because we, the people, put him there to fight for us against the mighty empire that was like a black hole, sucking all of American society into it.Anyone who thinks Bari Weiss would do Donald Trump's bidding at CBS News is living in a fantasy. They don't know her, they don't know him, and they most certainly do not know this country anymore. It doesn't seem like it's asking too much for guys like Scott Pelley to snap out of it at long last and to realize this is a big country with lots of different kinds of people in it. And all of them have the same right to representation. If the culture stopped speaking to them and the government stopped representing them, well, it's all over but the shouting.// This is a public episode.

In today's episode, we welcome the PE Guy, whose real name is Johnny Hilbrant Partridge. The PE Guy character was started in early 2025 after capitulating from years of ridiculous travel and lifestyle stories from folks in finance, but particularly, private equity. He is certainly making his rounds in the CFA community, and we quickly realized he would be a great guest on our podcast (due to his role in PE, Private Equity, as the PE Guy often says in his skits). We cover Johnny's start with the Ellen DeGeneres show, then his sudden fame as a Soul Cycle Instructor, and then becoming a content creator. We discuss why he picks on private professionals more than any other position in finance, how he strikes the balance between making the PE Guy unlikeable yet charismatic, and a behind-the-scenes look at what goes into the PE Guy. We then dive into social media influencer platforms and how he manages each of them. We also talk about how financial firms should pay attention to unique content, instead of traditional advertising. Last, and certainly not least, the PE Guy makes a brief appearance in character, asking him where he summers, to his thoughts on the best golf courses in Florida, to where he stations his yacht in the Mediterranean, and much more. Today's hosts are Steve Curley, CFA (Co-Managing Principal, 55 North Private Wealth) & co-host Chris Cannon, CFA(CIO/Principal, FirsTrust).   Please enjoy the episode.

Ever done something stupid to get back at an ex? We heard some wild stories today, including one about a man who 'came' all over his ex's clothes and a woman who sold all her ex's belongings to their next door neighbor. Ellen Degeneres joined us on the show today (sort of) to host a Lez-off between Klein and Ally. Klein claims he's a better lesbian than Ally because of all the lesbian 'content' he's consumed over the years (aka porn.) A five-question showdown determined a clear winner. We heard perhaps the funniest old person voice during Old People Secrets today. A woman who attributes her long life to sugar and the Irish Times. Jake has some drama with his 'succulent girlfriend.' She's not happy about the Funner Summer Challenge where he was given the task of having a one night stand with a stranger. Is there trouble in not-paradise?

You want another episode? You got it Mister! We've got two romantic comedies with Mr. in the title. Mr. Wonderful with Matt Dillon and even a bit of James Gandolfini. And Mr. Wrong starring Ellen Degeneres and Bill Pullman. The boys also talk The Drama, Alana Haim, Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie, and Sheep Detectives!

This week we bring you a special episode from Amelia Callahan, one of our 2026 Podcast Fellows. She introduces her new podcast, The Separation of Pop and State, which compares political and pop culture moments to show how treating politicians like celebrities can shape their behavior and public discourse. She discusses her hesitation about sharing political opinions publicly and defines “cancel culture” (boycotting/shunning) versus “smear campaigns” (efforts to discredit reputations), arguing the two often overlap through propaganda and bandwagon effects. As a central example, she analyzes the viral “Howard Dean scream” and how ridicule and media framing helped derail his 2004 campaign despite minimal substance. She links similar dynamics to pop culture cases (Ellen DeGeneres, The Chicks, Rebecca Black, Bud Light/Dylan Mulvaney, Taylor Swift) and argues voters must recognize propaganda, fact-check, and base opinions on evidence to strengthen trust, civic engagement, and democracy. 00:00 Democracy Group Intro 00:23 Meet Amelia Callahan 02:31 Why This Podcast Exists 04:39 Politics at the Table 05:45 Cancel Culture Explained 07:48 Smear Campaigns vs Canceling 10:54 Howard Dean Scream Case 18:12 Celebrity Cancelations Compared 23:44 Boycotts and Bandwagons 26:03 Memes as Political Propaganda 32:41 Fact Checking and Civic Trust 35:13 Closing Takeaways Know a student interested in democracy and podcasts?

Laughing in the Dark: Suicide Prevention, Comedy, and Hope with Frank King In this episode, Kevin sits down with Frank King, a suicide prevention speaker, comedian, and former writer for The Tonight Show. Frank spent 20 years writing for late night television and has been a full time speaker and comedian for more than 40 years. Frank's work is deeply personal. His speaking is shaped by his lifelong experience with Major Depressive Disorder and Chronic Suicidal Ideation, including moments where he came close enough to ending his life that he can speak honestly and powerfully about what that darkness feels like. Instead of hiding that story, Frank has turned his long, dark journey of the soul into lifesaving work. He has delivered 13 TEDx Talks and shares his insights with corporations, associations, and audiences across the country to help people understand suicide prevention, mental health, and the power of honest conversation. Over the course of his career, Frank has shared the stage with legendary comedians and entertainers including Jeff Foxworthy, Adam Sandler, Jerry Seinfeld, Dr. Ken Jeong, Ellen DeGeneres, Dennis Miller, Lou Rawls, The Beach Boys, and Randy Travis. And somehow, on top of all that, Frank has survived two aortic valve replacements, a double bypass, a heart attack, and losing to a puppet on the original Star Search. And yes, he's lived to joke about it all. This conversation is honest, meaningful, surprisingly funny, and deeply human. Frank brings a rare mix of comedy, courage, and lived experience to one of the most important conversations we can have. In This Episode Kevin and Frank talk about: • Suicide prevention and mental health • Living with Major Depressive Disorder • Chronic Suicidal Ideation • Why humor can help open hard conversations • Turning pain into purpose • Frank's journey as a comedian, speaker, and TEDx presenter • What people often misunderstand about suicidal thoughts • How honest conversations can save lives About Frank King Frank King is a suicide prevention speaker, comedian, and former writer for The Tonight Show. He has been a full time speaker and comedian for 40 years and has delivered 13 TEDx Talks. His work is informed by his lived experience with Major Depressive Disorder and Chronic Suicidal Ideation, and he now uses comedy and storytelling to help organizations have lifesaving conversations around mental health and suicide prevention.

Amy Schumer went from comedy's biggest star to facing widespread backlash. We cover her meteoric rise with “Inside Amy Schumer,” her Netflix “Leather Special,” accusations of joke theft from comics like Ellen DeGeneres and Patrice O'Neal, and how her political turn alienated fans. From being one of the guys on Opie & Anthony, to a genuine movie star in "Trainwreck' to seemingly irrelevant. Why Are You Laughing? is a history of comedy podcast.

Ellen DeGeneris wants back in, and MTG has moved to Costa Rica.There's something uniquely hilarious about modern America where a poll can ask, “Is America a great country?” and nearly a quarter of the respondents answer like they're being interrogated by the faculty lounge at Berkeley.CNN ran this panel with Kasie Hunt reading the numbers like she was unveiling cholesterol results at a doctor's office.Twenty-three percent said America is the greatest country in the world.Forty-one percent said America is one of the greatest countries in the world.And twenty-three percent said America is not one of the greatest countries.Now pause right there. Because that last number deserves forensic analysis. Twenty-three percent. Nearly a quarter of the country looked around at America and said, “Nah, this place is overrated.”Overrated compared to what exactly? France, where striking is considered cardio? Britain, where people get arrested for tweets and their prime ministers rotate faster than gas station hot dogs? Canada, where the national survival strategy appears to be apologizing while collapsing politely?

​Bill Burr is under fire again for his comedy, and we're breaking down why the "cancel" crowd can't let it go. We dive into the "R-word" debate, the Boston attitude, and why some words just won't die.​SNL and Ellen writer Erik Marino joins Opie and Ron the Waiter to take us behind the scenes of the legendary "Puppy Episode." Opie reveals his theory on why Ellen DeGeneres had the best job in America—getting paid to "dirty dance" with her audience.​Plus, we look at the deadly reality of botched "basement" cosmetic surgeries in the Bronx and Chinatown, the truth behind China's "Green Hat" insult, and why Ron is convinced that dragons were actually real. 

In his twenties, Michael Beckwith had a lucid dream where he died. When he woke up, something had changed... he could see life differently. That awakening became the foundation for a lifetime of spiritual inquiry, healing, and service. In this episode of the Align Podcast, Aaron sits down with Michael Beckwith to explore awakening, fear, manifestation, self-love, and the illusion of separation. Michael shares insights on prayer, surrender, abundance, emotional healing, and what it truly means to live from presence. EPISODE #594 IS SPONSORED BY:

Beth Sherman is a multi-Emmy Award-winning comedy writer who spent 30 years writing for Letterman, Jay Leno, Ellen DeGeneres, and multiple major awards shows, including the Oscars. She now works as a keynote speaker and executive presentation coach, helping leaders and professional speakers build rapid rapport using the same principles comedians use to convert a room full of strangers.In this episode, John and Beth explore what professional speakers can actually learn from standup comedy — not the jokes, but the craft underneath them. Beth shares her BETH framework and challenges the assumption that being funny has anything to do with telling jokes.What you'll take away:Why trying to be funny is one of the worst things a speaker can do — and what to do insteadThe BETH framework: Brevity, Elephant in the room, Truth, HumanityWhy specificity and truth are the real engines of humour and connectionThe difference between self-deprecation and self-awareness on stageWhat comedians know about building trust with a sceptical audience that most business communicators don'tWhy silence on stage felt like failure to Beth — and how she's working through itWhat a "callback" is and why it's the most underused tool in a speaker's closingVisit bethsherman.com or connect with Beth on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/beth-sherman/CHAPTERS00:00 Meet Beth Sherman02:20 Comedy Roots and Writer Room05:38 Standup Lessons and Testing07:30 Humour Influences and Favourites12:24 Stagecraft Rapid Rapport13:46 Bombing and Hecklers19:09 From TV Writing to Speaking23:36 Building a Speaking Business26:27 Positioning Humour as Rapport27:39 Trust Through Humour29:15 Standup And Speaking31:51 Keynote Challenges35:57 Stop Trying To Be Funny38:36 BETH Framework39:24 Brevity Wins40:42 Elephant In The Room42:56 Truth And Self Awareness45:55 Specific Details47:59 Humanity Over Jokes49:03 Working With Beth53:06 Quick Rapport Tip54:46 Wrap Up And TakeawaysFrequently Asked QuestionsDo professional speakers need to be funny to be successful?According to Emmy Award-winning comedy writer and keynote speaker Beth Sherman, no. The goal is not to be funny — it is to be human. Trying to be funny often comes across as inauthentic and can undermine credibility, particularly for women and speakers from minority backgrounds. What engages audiences is vulnerability, relatability, and genuine connection. Laughter is a by-product of that, not the target.What is the BETH framework for speakers?The BETH framework was developed by Beth Sherman and stands for Brevity, Elephant in the room, Truth, and Humanity. It is a four-principle approach derived from professional comedy writing and stand-up that helps speakers and leaders build rapid rapport with any audience. Brevity means using fewer words for more impact. Elephant in the room means acknowledging what your audience is already noticing. Truth means that specificity and honesty are inherently engaging. Humanity means being relatable and vulnerable rather than polished and performative.How can speakers use humour without telling jokes?Beth Sherman teaches that truth is funny — comedians do not invent absurdity, they observe and report it. The most effective way for speakers to add humour to a talk is through specificity and self-awareness rather than constructed jokes. Sharing the particular details of a real experience — what was in the room, what was said, what you did when you got in the car — creates universal relatability because audiences recognise the truth in it. This approach works regardless of whether the speaker considers themselves funny.What is rapid rapport, and why does it matter for speakers and leaders?Rapid rapport is the ability to build trust and connection with a new or sceptical audience quickly. Beth Sherman argues that until an audience trusts you, nothing else you say matters — not your data, your story, or your framework. Comedians develop this skill by necessity: they must win over strangers, often in hostile conditions, within minutes. The same principles apply in leadership communication, sales, and keynote speaking. Beth's keynote and masterclass work translates these principles for business audiences.What is the difference between self-deprecation and self-awareness for speakers?Self-deprecation means putting yourself down for the purpose of getting a laugh. Self-awareness means acknowledging what your audience is already noticing about you or the situation. Beth Sherman advises speakers to favour self-awareness over self-deprecation, particularly if they belong to a group that may already face unconscious bias from their audience. Self-deprecation can undermine credibility; self-awareness builds connection and trust.How do you open a talk and win an audience over quickly?Beth Sherman's primary recommendation is to smile and look like you want to be there. Beyond that, acknowledge the elephant in the room early — whatever your audience might be thinking or distracted by. If you open with tension or a dramatic hook, relieve it quickly. The goal is connection, not perfection, and audiences respond to speakers who appear present and genuinely engaged with the room.Visit https://strategic-speaker.scoreapp.com to take the 2-minute Strategic Speaking Business Audit and find out what's blocking you from getting more bookings, re-bookings, referrals and bigger fees.

Blockbuster Blake Stubbs also joins Bob to share his review […]

Stucco arches, red tile floors, exposed beams — the look and feel of the houses in the oceanfront towns of Santa Barbara and Montecito can be attributed to a woman architect known by one name: Lutah. The Ohio-born and California-bred architect Lutah Maria Riggs was on track to be a teacher, one of few professions to welcome women in the early 20th century, when she won a scholarship to Berkeley by selling newspapers. Like architect Julia Morgan before her, she gained entry to the university's Beaux Arts influenced architecture program – one of only four women in her class. Also like Morgan, she was talented enough to capture the interest and mentorship of the head of the program, John Galen Howard, and a series of other older male architects who helped her launch her career and chaperoned her travel to Mexico, Spain, and other countries whose architecture was highly influential in California in the 1920s. Riggs's most famous public project, the Lobero Theater in downtown Santa Barbara, was directly influenced by a serendipitous stop in Spain. Traveling on her own, Riggs took advantage of the network of women's hotels and clubs available in those days. She was always up for a dance, and was even friends with Martha Graham when the modern dance pioneer spent time in Santa Barbara. Her work has helped define the indoor-outdoor, casual, one-story style that is most identified with southern California today. That has made her houses highly prized for their luxurious materials, swoon-worthy views, and easy living. Unlike many architects who focused on public commissions, many of her houses are still extant, and the real estate agents know what they've got. Zoe Saldana lives in a Lutah today, and architecture enthusiast Ellen DeGeneres has in the past. Riggs – who lived until the 1980s – continues to be one of Santa Barbara's most celebrated architects.  Produced by Brandi Howell for the New Angle Voice Podcast presented by the Beverly Willis Architecture Foundation.The Kitchen Sisters Present is produced by The Kitchen Sisters (Nikki Silva & Davia Nelson) with Nathan Dalton and Brandi Howell.The Kitchen Sisters Present is part of PRX's Radiotopia podcast network.

EDtv opened in third place on March 26th right behind our last movie, Analyze This in 2nd and Forces of Nature in 1st, going on to gross $35 million worldwide on a budget of $80 million. Directed by Ron Howard, it is a remake of the 1994 Quebecois film Louis 19, King of the Airwaves, with a script adapted by Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel, it stars Matthew McConaughey, Jenna Elfman, Woody Harrelson, Ellen DeGeneres, Sally Kirkland, a frankly Oscar-worthy Martin Landau, Rob Reiner, Dennis Hopper, Elizabeth Hurley, Harry Shearer, Ian Gomez, Rupaul, Michael Moore, Jay Leno, George Plimpton, and Bill Maher. EDtv tells the story of a regular guy whose life becomes a 24-hour reality show. It did modestly well with critics, but it was drowned out by 1998's similarly-premised (but in no way similar) The Truman Show. Anyway, since it's the only 1999 movie to feature Bill Maher, we invited the host of the I Hate Bill Maher Podcast, comedian Will Weldon, to talk about this incredibly confused, frustrating movie, which remains notable for being the start of the McConaughey-Harrelson (possibly literal) Bromance!

There was a time when there were very few female comics, but that's changed due in large part to the brave women who had the courage to stand up and speak their mind on stage. One of those women was  Judy Tenuta, considered one of the most unique and trailblazing comedians of a generation, cutting through the male-dominated profession with her sharp wit and style. And because of her, many women were subsequently able to break into comedy. Judy gained national recognition in 1987 after starring in the HBO special, Women of the Night, opposite Ellen DeGeneres and Rita Rudner. After that, she never looked back.  Judy passed away in 2022 from ovarian cancer, but she left behind a legacy and rich story to tell. Her life and career are the subject of an award-winning short titled, "It Happened: The Judy Tenuta Story," starring Taylor Blackwell, who wore many of Judy's costumes in the film. This is a story about breaking through barriers and not giving up, and believing in yourself even with others don't. Today, we welcome to our show Brent Mata, director and producer of "It Happened," who  speaks about the importance of telling Judy's life story with purpose and authenticity. Please enjoy my full conversation with award-winning filmmaker Brent Mata on all video and audio platforms of #DeborahKobyltLIVE. I'm your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt, and it's my pleasure to welcome you to our show.

00:00 All right, let's go to the WRD Talkline with Tato Robert in Mills River. Robert, what's going on with you this afternoon? Robert, pull the phone away from your mouth a little bit. Pull the phone away from your mouth a little bit. 00:30 All right, go ahead. 00:34 You want to hear a little thing, I'm sorry, Robert, I am terribly sorry. You're to have to call back. just, could not understand a word you were saying there. Well, Canada, all these people that were, and I always noticed, do you ever notice these people that are so against Donald Trump when they want to move? None of them ever moved to Mexico. Did you ever notice that? They don't move to Mexico. They always talk about going to Canada or Ellen DeGeneres. She went over to England. 01:02 But now I hear she's coming back. Rosie O'Donnell went over to Ireland. uh She was so miserable over there. She's looking at coming back. 01:13 Listen, if you are a Democrat and you are miserable in the United States, understand something. You're going to be miserable everywhere you go. I remember there was a Adam Sandler skit over on Saturday Night Live and he was talking about what an Italian, it was like one of those Italian tours, was like, 01:41 I'm going to tell you what these Italian tours will not do for you. They will not make you a better person. If you are miserable where you are, you're going to be just as miserable in Italy. It was a very, very funny, but that's it. It's not the country that's making them miserable. It's not Donald Trump that's making them miserable. They're just miserable. That's who they are. 02:08 So they're be just, and I haven't seen anybody that moved to Canada and went, we love it here, it's awesome. No, because it's not. Because Canada's got some real problems. Their economy is in the toilet. So they had a chance in Canada to sign a $40 billion deal with Japan for oil. $40 billion. 02:38 but they blew it. And I'll tell you how coming up in just a second. So where did Japan go for their oil? Well, they went to the Oval Office and President Trump has just signed a deal with Japan. It is a $56 billion energy deal with the United States, bypassing 03:02 Canada's oil and gas. 03:06 Completely by, we are now. 03:10 Japan's largest source for energy in a $56 billion deal. Now, you had old Mark Carney up in Canada. He blew that deal because he was talking about the low-risk oil and natural gas. are low-risk producers of oil. We are low-risk producers of natural gas. We're reliable. can produce. We're in jurisdictions where 03:39 what we produce will go to market uh... and we can deliver it uh... to market and that that is a contribution in the world which is lost in effect in the oil case fifteen percent potential we are no risk as far as carbon is concerned well that didn't get you that forty billion dollar deal with japan did so japan had originally gone to true dough for a deal they're looking at your dough ah 04:10 So Trudeau, not even making this up, he tried to talk them literally out of the deal. 04:23 Trudeau in Canada wanted them to look into alternative forms of energy. 04:32 Instead of getting their energy from Trudeau, from Canada, Trudeau said, hey, you guys ever think about windmills? You guys ever think about solar or anything like that? You guys ever think about that? So way to go, Canada. You just blew a $50 billion deal. We got a $50 billion deal. Charlie, some people aren't happy. 05:02 unless they're miserable. You're exactly right. 05:07 I used to teach a class in Sunday school where I would ask everybody in the class, I'd say, right, I'd say, don't want you to raise your hand. 05:20 But I want to know, and just answer me silently because I already know the answer, answer me silently who in here has a chemical addiction? 05:32 Who in here has a chemical addiction? 05:36 and you'd see them. You'd see them, they'd get nervous. 05:41 They started looking around, looking around, who in here ...

La 98ª edición de los Óscar premia a 'Una batalla después de otra' con cinco galardones, incluyendo Mejor Película y Director para Paul Thomas Anderson, su primer Óscar. 'Valor Sentimental' de Noruega es la Mejor Película Internacional, mientras que 'Syrad' (España) no logra premio. Michael B. Jordan es Mejor Actor por 'Los Pecadores', siendo el sexto actor negro en conseguirlo. Jessie Buckley se lleva el Óscar a Mejor Actriz por 'Hamnet'. La Mejor Canción Original es 'Golden' de 'Las Guerreras del K-Pop'. La gala evoca momentos históricos como el bofetón de Will Smith, los primeros Óscar para actores negros (Hattie McDaniel y Sidney Poitier), errores de anuncio y el selfie de Ellen DeGeneres. Javier Bardem protesta contra la guerra y por la libertad de Palestina. Este año cinematográfico es flojo, destacando la calidad de producciones internacionales. La audiencia televisiva se mantiene baja.

Today in The Update Journal, we begin with a historic moment in culinary exploration: my first ever trip inside Buffalo Wild Wings. That's right. After years of walking past those glowing televisions and the smell of fried ambition in the air, I will finally step through the doors like a rookie entering the big leagues. I'm told there are roughly 47 sauces, half of which are designed to test your pain tolerance and your will to live. We'll see how that goes.Then, from the continuing saga of “Answers on The Weakest Link That Make You Question the Future of Humanity,” we revisit a contestant who was asked which famous TV personality made her first vowel movement in 1982. Now the rest of us at home immediately shouted the correct answer: Vanna White. Simple. Easy. A layup question. The contestant, however, confidently answered… Ellen. Yes. Ellen. Apparently somewhere out there is an alternate universe where Ellen DeGeneres has been casually flipping letters on Wheel of Fortune since the Reagan administration.And finally, in news that may temporarily stop Americans from crying while looking at their bank accounts, McDonald's is preparing a new lineup of menu items for $3 or less. That's right — in this economy, you can still walk into a McDonald's with a couple of dollars and leave with actual food instead of just a napkin and emotional support.So today we've got wings, vowels, and budget burgers—which honestly sounds like the name of a very strange law firm.In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Thursday, newly released surveillance video appears to show a man buying a fuse at a fireworks store days before authorities say he and another man brought homemade bombs to a protest outside Mayor Mamdani's residence.Mayor Mamdani spent his first in-person appearance at his “rental ripoff” hearings appealing to public housing tenants after he was heckled and previously accused of ignoring their plights.And in Washington, the January collapse of a pipe as wide as a car dumped so much sewage into the Potomac River that officials tracked a spike of gut-wrenching bacteria drifting slowly past Washington for weeks, prompting an emergency declaration and federal assistance.

Comedian. Daytime talk show queen. Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient. But is there more to Ellen DeGeneres than the dancing, the giveaways, and the pizza jokes?In this episode, we take a deep dive into the life and career of Ellen DeGeneres — from her early days in Louisiana and her groundbreaking coming out moment, to the rise and fall of The Ellen DeGeneres Show. We explore her relationship with Anne Heche, the tragic death of Stephen tWitch Boss, her connections to Sean Diddy Combs, and the controversies that surrounded her in the final years of her show.From public bullying allegations and behind-the-scenes investigations to internet theories involving Hollywood elites, secret codes, and the Epstein files — we're unpacking the timeline, the claims, and the questions that continue to circulate online.What's fact? What's speculation? And how did “Be kind to one another” turn into one of the most polarizing celebrity narratives in modern media?Follow me down the rabbit hole.#EllenDeGeneres #HollywoodControversy #AnneHeche #tWitch #Diddy #CelebrityScandals #ConspiracyPodcast #EpsteinFileswww.stayskeptical.comWise Wolf Gold: https://www.wolfpack.gold/?ref=jvujkwgsSources: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jcwvgWpPz8GqLxNwpeJM7AHqBJL2O3JWVdE8ggKK7_8/edit?usp=sharing

While federal agents clash with "No Kings" rioters in Minneapolis, Ellen DeGeneres sends a message from her $30 million English estate: "Minneapolis is the happiest city in America." Today, Austin Petersen exposes the "Expat Elite"—celebrities who voted for open borders and sanctuary policies, only to flee to Europe when the consequences arrived. It is the ultimate betrayal of the American working class. Plus: The death of the American Monoculture (and why the elites love it), the UK government accidentally creates the internet's favorite "Based Goth Girl" in a failed anti-extremism game, and Don Lemon's desperate church storming stunt. Today's Show:

Ellen DeGeneres is in the news for her Instagram post regarding anti-ICE protests in Minneapolis. And she is receiving backlash over the post, in which she said she was proud of the protesters who are being peaceful and feels for the ones who have been hurt by law enforcement. Meanwhile, other protesters are targeting Target as part of a reverse boycott, in which they buy salt — why? Because salt melts ice! — and then returning it to encourage the chain store to slow down sales and consequently step up morally regarding ICE arrests and staging on store premises. There is a lot of misinformation and commentary regarding ICE arresting convicted sex offenders who are in the country illegally. Are these arrests done with or without arrest warrants? Are ICE agents accidentally nabbing and detaining US citizens? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Megyn Kelly opens the show by discussing the infuriating moment when anti-ICE activists reached a new low by storming a church during services, why these are "terrorists" who are targeting innocent Christians, and more. Then Michael Knowles, host of "The Michael Knowles Show," joins to discuss why the radical leftist protesters who interrupted the church service must be arrested, Don Lemon's involvement and how he joined with the agitators, the disturbing actions of these leftists, and more.

This week on Podcast Like It's the 2000s, Phil and Emily continue their deep dive into Pixar's 2000s run with Finding Nemo, joined by critic and writer Caroline Framke.Released in 2003, Finding Nemo marked a major turning point for Pixar pairing cutting-edge animation with a surprisingly emotional story about parenthood, fear, and letting go. The group breaks down how revolutionary the film felt at the time, why it still holds up as one of Pixar's most accessible crowd-pleasers, and how its influence reshaped both animation and merchandising culture in the years that followed.They also dig into Albert Brooks' anxious Marlin, Ellen DeGeneres' instantly iconic Dory, the film's surprisingly existential undertones, and the question of whether Finding Nemo has been culturally overshadowed by later Pixar classics or simply made to look “conventional” by its own success.Along the way, the conversation touches on disability representation, Pixar's evolving thematic ambitions, and why the ocean remains one of cinema's most quietly terrifying settings.You can find Caroline Framke at: www.carolineframke.comSupport the show:Get more from Podcast Like It's... on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of The Healers Café, Manon Bolliger, speaks to Frank, who discussed his mental health struggles, including major depressive disorder and chronic suicidal ideation, and how humor helps him cope. Frank emphasized the importance of starting conversations about suicide, noting that one person dies by suicide every 40 seconds globally. He highlighted the need for empathy and intervention to prevent suicides, sharing stories of how his talks have helped individuals. Frank aims to save a life a day through his work. For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/frank-king     Highlights from today's episode include:  For some people, suicide is always an option their brain offers, even for small problems (e.g., car breaks down: "fix it / buy a new one / kill myself").  Naming it ("chronic suicidal ideation") helps people realize they're not freaks and not alone, which can be profoundly relieving and life-changing. Suicide often results from a cascade of factors, like a car accident with many causes (nighttime, rain, slick road, etc.). A simple intervention—someone asking, "Are you okay?" or showing they care—can interrupt that cascade and literally save a life (e.g., Kevin Hines on the Golden Gate Bridge). You highlight that in contexts like MAID in Canada, people are often met with serious validation of ending life but not always offered a gap—humor, caring connection, or alternative ways of seeing their situation.   ABOUT FRANK KING: Frank King, Suicide Prevention Speaker, writer for The Tonight Show for 20 years, speaker and comedian for 39. His speaking is informed by his lifetime of Depression and Suicidality and coming close enough to ending his life that he can tell you what the barrel of his gun tastes like. Turning that long dark journey of the soul into 13 TEDx Talks, sharing his lifesaving insights with corporations, and associations. He's shared the stage with comedians, Jeff Foxworthy, Adam Sandler, Jerry Seinfeld, Dr. Ken Jung, Ellen DeGeneres, Dennis Miller, and Bill Hicks, as well as entertainers, Lou Rawls, The Beach Boys, Randy Travis, and Nancy Wilson. On top of all of that, he has survived 2 aortic valve replacements, a double bypass, a heart attack, and losing to a puppet on the original Star Search and has lived to joke about it all.

"Ellen's First Christmess" (December 17, 2001) Yes, we're closing 2025 with a lump of coal rather than a sugarplum fairy. Believe it or not, Ellen Degeneres had a second sitcom between her first one and her reign as the iron-fisted queen of daytime. It's mostly lost in the shuffle today, but we're taking a look at her Christmas episode to point out how she chose to shut up about her sexuality this time around. Was it worth it? No. See you in hell, 2025. We have episode transcripts courtesy of Sarah Neal. Our logo was designed by Rob Wilson. This episode's art was designed by Ian O'Phelan. Sound cues for this podcast were composed by Meika Grimm.

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, the White House confirmed and defended conducting a second strike against alleged drug smugglers in the Caribbean in September, amid the Trump administration's crusade targeting the influx of drugs into the U.S. The White House's statement comes after the Washington Post reported Friday that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth verbally ordered that a Sept. 2 attack kill everyone on board the alleged drug boat, drawing scrutiny from lawmakers who are requesting additional oversight into the strikes. The Post reported that a second strike was conducted to take out the remaining survivors on the boat. Also comedienne Kathy Griffin does an about face and now supports President Trump, Ellen DeGeneres decides she wants to move back to the U.S. and the TSA imposes a fee if you forget your I.D. at the airport. Also the insanity of the forced use of pronouns with the disillusion of Generation Z and the government needs to get out of the mortgage business.

 The White House goes on the offensive with Karoline Leavitt scolding fake news reporters and outlets with spreading bogus information about President Trump's health. Brian Stelter melts down, and the irony is delicious. Chuck Schumer says he's getting death threats from MAGA and Kristi Noem drops the gauntlet in support of a travel ban of all countries who send terrorists to America. Ellen Degeneres says it's time to return to America.  

A popular influencer, Hayley Bayley, says she had to leave her NFL husband because of his size. Stefon Diggs was busy before he met Cardi B. Kim Kardashian did not pass the California bar. 10 years ago this week Ellen DeGeneres was still nice. Is showering in the dark a wellness trend or just a way to injure yourself?
