In this episode, Howard Farran sits down with Anthony "Tony" Gedge, who has spent 24 years in dentistry focused on the one thing most systems overlook: trust. His route into the profession was anything but conventional — he moved from running nightclubs into dentistry, where he built a pain-free movement around anxious patients and the fear of the injection, founded the Pain-Free Dentistry Institute, and co-founded Dental Mavericks, a charity that has now helped more than 180,000 children. He also took John Lennon's tooth and Elvis Presley's crown on tour to raise mouth cancer awareness — a campaign with fresh urgency given that UK deaths have climbed from roughly seven a day when he started to closer to ten today, with cases up nearly 50% over the past decade. The conversation then turns to Tony's current work with Dental Group Signal, an evidence-led benchmarking platform studying how dental groups actually show up to patients, clinicians, investors, and the wider market. He walks through the twelve public signals the platform measures — from leadership and recruitment to patient trust, telephone access, review response, pricing visibility, digital journey, brand coherence, governance, and seller and investor signals — and shares findings from the May 2026 US DSO CEO Visibility benchmark, where only one of twenty leaders scored as a meaningful visibility leader and fifteen were rated underdeveloped. Howard and Tony explore what the US DSO market can learn from public-evidence benchmarking, why CEO and recruitment visibility have become commercial signals rather than marketing activity, and the crucial difference between simply being a large dental group and being a trusted, visible, coherent one. Episode #1733 : Dentistry Uncensored with Howard Farran, Howard sits down with Anthony "Tony" Gedge — a genuine dental maverick whose path ran from nightclubs to needles to benchmarking the entire industry. Over 24 years, Tony founded the Pain-Free Dentistry Institute, co-founded Dental Mavericks (which has helped 180,000+ children), toured John Lennon's tooth and Elvis Presley's crown to raise mouth cancer awareness, and now leads Dental Group Signal, measuring the public trust signals behind dental group growth.
Uncle Si's lifelong love for Dolly Parton takes over as he remembers her music, her hilarious honesty, and the business move that even Elvis couldn't talk her into. Si casually drops the fact that he once stood just feet away from Elvis Presley while women screamed and fainted, leaving Martin to wonder how he's never heard that story before. John-David debates the “Mount Rushmore of Beloved People,” and Phillip sheepishly reveals that he knows every word to Si's most famous country music song, “Throwback Man.” Duck Call Room episode #583 is sponsored by: https://buyraycon.com/duckopen - Get 20% OFF The Essential Open Earbuds today!

Dolly Parton has died at the age of 80, and in this episode of Mark and Pete we pay tribute to one of the most remarkable, successful and strangely universally loved entertainers of the modern age. Singer, songwriter, actress, businesswoman, philanthropist and owner of rather more rhinestones than most regional theatres could manage between them, Dolly Parton became something far bigger than a country music star.Born into poverty in rural Tennessee as one of 12 children, Dolly went from singing in church and appearing on local radio to becoming one of the biggest names in American music. She wrote thousands of songs, sold more than 100 million records worldwide and gave us classics including Jolene, 9 to 5, Coat of Many Colors and, of course, I Will Always Love You.And that last song alone has quite a story.Dolly wrote I Will Always Love You as a farewell to Porter Wagoner when she left his television show to pursue her own career. Elvis Presley later wanted to record it, but his manager demanded half the publishing rights. Dolly said no. Politely, naturally, but no nonetheless. Years later Whitney Houston recorded it and turned it into one of the biggest-selling singles of all time. Sometimes keeping hold of your copyright is quite a good idea.But Dolly Parton's legacy is about far more than music.Her Imagination Library has distributed hundreds of millions of free books to children around the world. She donated substantial sums to hospitals, disaster relief and medical research, including funding that contributed to work behind the Moderna Covid vaccine. Dollywood became one of Tennessee's biggest tourist attractions and major employers. She seems to have understood something many wealthy celebrities rather miss: having an enormous amount of money gives you the opportunity to do an enormous amount of good.So why did almost everybody like Dolly?That is perhaps the more interesting question.She was flamboyant without seeming vain, famous without appearing remote, deeply Christian without pretending to be perfect, and enormously successful while retaining the ability to make herself the butt of the joke. She once observed that it cost a lot of money to look this cheap. There are entire celebrity careers that could have been improved by that level of self-awareness.In this episode, Mark and Pete look back at Dolly Parton's extraordinary life, her Christian faith, her songwriting, her business instincts, her generosity, Dollywood, the Imagination Library and the extraordinary cultural reach of a woman who began life in a one-room cabin in Tennessee.A genuine American original.And yes, inevitably, we will always love her.

We lost a great one. On August 25, 2026, Dolly Parton passed away at 80 in Nashville after a brief battle with cancer — and in the days since, tributes have poured in from every corner of the political spectrum, a rare moment of universal agreement in a divided world. So what can we learn from Dolly Parton about personal branding? Quite literally everything. In this episode, Kimberly pays tribute to Dolly's extraordinary seven-decade career and shares her own story of growing up a country girl who found permission in Dolly's example to be exactly who she was. Then Kimberly breaks down the five-part personal branding playbook hiding inside Dolly's life — from owning her paradox and never apologizing for her style, to the real story behind walking away from Porter Wagoner's show, to the night she turned down Elvis Presley rather than sign over her rights, to building a legacy that leads the way for the people coming behind her.

We open this broadcast looking at President Trump ordering flags lowered nationwide to half-staff following the passing of country music legend Dolly Parton at age 80.

The world is mourning the loss of country music legend, actor, and philanthropist Dolly Parton, who has passed away in Nashville at age 80 after a brief battle with cancer. In this special tribute episode of The Quicky, we celebrate the extraordinary life, sharp business acumen, and generous spirit of an icon who brought light to generations. In this episode, you'll learn: The surprising alternative currency her family used to pay the local doctor on the day she was born, long before she built a multi-million-dollar empire.

The staggering scale of her quiet philanthropic work, from donating millions of books to funding major medical breakthroughs behind the scenes. The secret track locked away at Dollywood that no one is allowed to hear yet, and the massive collection of unreleased music she left behind. We're joined by Cameron Adams, Australia's leading music journalist, who reflects on meeting Dolly at her Nashville compound and breaks down why she was perhaps "the last person on Earth that everyone loved." Also in today's headlines: Why Commissioner Virginia Bell has requested a short delay for the Anti-Semitism Royal Commission's final report, and the solemn anniversary the move aims to respect.

Have you ever seen a card, known almost nothing about it, and wanted to buy it anyway? Joshua Adams joins Jeremy Lee, David Chase and Joe Poirot for a conversation about one of the most enjoyable parts of collecting: discovering something completely new. Jeremy explains how an Isaiah Thomas Superfractor he had never seen before got him thinking about buying cards before knowing the checklist, the population, the comps or even much about the set itself. Joe admits he's frequently bought first and figured out exactly what he purchased later, while David explains why his move into non-sports cards has him doing the same thing with cards of The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Muhammad Ali, Marilyn Monroe and others. Sometimes the card is cool enough that you simply want it. The guys also debate whether you need to actually be a fan of an athlete to collect their cards. Can you appreciate a great card of a player you have no emotional connection to? Do you need to justify what you collect at all? Then they dig into the extraordinary number of seven-figure card sales happening right now. Four million-dollar cards sold through Heritage in a single night, including a T206 Honus Wagner, a 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle and a Michael Jordan buyback autograph. Add the $1.28 million Macklin Celebrini sale and several other recent results, and August alone has produced an incredible run of million-dollar transactions. Is this simply a hot market, or are we watching the upper end of the hobby enter an entirely different era? Finally, the conversation comes back to discovery and why stumbling into an entirely new collecting lane, whether it's Mickey Mouse, memorabilia cards, vintage non-sports or something you've walked past for years without noticing, can be one of the best parts of the hobby.

Tune in here to this Tuesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about Dolly Parton’s passing at age 80 and reflecting on the remarkable legacy she built throughout her career. Brett highlights Parton’s incredible talent, her ability to connect with generations of fans, and the high standard she set for what it truly means to be “great.” He shares the story of Parton turning down Elvis Presley and Colonel Tom Parker when they wanted to record one of her songs because she refused to give up ownership of her work. Brett explains how Parton viewed her songs as her children and understood their long-term value, allowing her to maintain control and benefit from the success they generated. He also points to the growth of Dollywood and Parton’s charitable work as examples of her impact beyond music. Bo Thompson from Good Morning BT is also here for this special episode of Crossing the Streams. Brett and Bo talk about the passing of Dolly Parton at age 80 and her incredible legacy as an entertainer, businesswoman and cultural icon. They reflect on Parton’s ability to transcend music and politics while remaining a down-to-earth person who connected with people from all walks of life. Brett and Bo also discuss the closely watched South Carolina election, with Bo predicting a narrow victory for Darlene while acknowledging that Ralph Norman could still pull out the win. Bo explains why he expects the race to come down to turnout and says a Norman victory would not necessarily be a major political earthquake because both candidates support President Trump. Bo also shares what he and the Good Morning BT team have coming up tomorrow, including more coverage of Dolly Parton’s legacy, the South Carolina election results and an important CMS school board meeting.

Hawaiian Concert Guide – Show 708 Island Time: From Contemporary Hawaiʻi to Timeless Traditions and Classic Sounds Featured Artists: Kalaʻe Camarillo • Ei Nei • Kaleo Phillips • Martin Denny • Elvis Presley This week on the Hawaiian Concert Guide, we take a musical journey through five distinct eras of Hawaiʻi's musical landscape. From today's contemporary island songwriting to the rich traditions of Hawaiian language music, heartfelt songs of ʻohana, the golden age of Exotica, and the unforgettable Hollywood sound of Blue Hawaii, Show 708 celebrates the many voices that have shaped—and continue to shape—the soundtrack of the Islands. Rather than simply presenting ten great songs, this episode tells a story. It begins with modern Hawaiʻi, explores the cultural foundations of the islands, pauses to celebrate family, then looks back at how Hawaiʻi and the Pacific were imagined through mid-century American popular culture before closing with two of the most iconic songs from Elvis Presley's legendary Blue Hawaii soundtrack. Whether you're a lifelong fan of Hawaiian music or discovering these artists for the first time, we hope this episode reminds you why Hawaiʻi's music continues to inspire listeners around the world. Playlist 1. Drifting On Island Time Artist: Kalaʻe Camarillo (featuring Kalaʻe) Album: Drifting On Island Time (2025) We open Show 708 with one of the newest songs in Hawaiian contemporary music. The title track from Kalaʻe Camarillo's latest album immediately sets the tone—not as a tourist slogan, but as a reminder to slow down, appreciate the present moment, and embrace the lifestyle that makes Hawaiʻi unique. The relaxed groove, modern production, and catchy melody perfectly introduce today's generation of Hawaiian musicians. Kalaʻe Camarillo, a third-generation music educator and award-winning singer-songwriter from Maui, has become one of Hawaiʻi's leading contemporary artists. His latest album features ten original songs blending island pop, acoustic influences, and heartfelt storytelling. (Maui News) Length: 3:28 2. Gonna Have A Good Time Artist: Kalaʻe Camarillo Album: Drifting On Island Time (2025) Our second selection keeps the energy flowing with an uplifting celebration of everyday life. Beneath its feel-good chorus lies a simple but meaningful message: after the work is done and the responsibilities are met, life's greatest joy comes from spending time with the people you love. The song showcases Kalaʻe's gift for writing contemporary music that feels authentically local without relying on stereotypes. It captures the optimism and gratitude that define so much of today's island music. Length: 2:58 3. Ka Wā Makahiki Artist: Ei Nei Album: Ei Nei, Look At Us Ei Nei brings us into the heart of traditional Hawaiian culture with "Ka Wā Makahiki." The Makahiki season marked an annual period of peace, harvest, celebration, and renewal dedicated to the Hawaiian god Lono. More than simply a festival, Makahiki represented an entire way of understanding the rhythm of nature and the passing of time. Beautiful vocal harmonies and traditional Hawaiian lyrics remind us that Hawaiian music is deeply connected to history, language, and the land itself. Length: 3:50 4. Star Of Gladness Artist: Ei Nei Album: Ei Nei, Look At Us The title "Star of Gladness" refers to Hōkūleʻa—the "Star of Gladness"—whose name today is inseparably connected with the legendary Hawaiian voyaging canoe and the renaissance of traditional Polynesian navigation. For ancient Polynesian navigators, stars were not simply beautiful lights in the night sky—they were maps, guides, and trusted companions across thousands of miles of open ocean. Ei Nei's rich harmonies honor this remarkable heritage while celebrating Hawaiʻi's cultural renaissance. Length: 4:28 5. My Island Life Artist: Kaleo Phillips Album: E Mama "My Island Life" shifts the focus from Hawaiian history to personal identity. Rather than describing Hawaiʻi as a vacation destination, Kaleo Phillips sings about what it truly means to grow up and live in the islands. Family, community, friendships, and everyday experiences become part of the meaning of "island life." It's an honest portrait of belonging that resonates with anyone who calls Hawaiʻi home. Length: 4:15 6. God Bless My Daddy (Acoustic) Artist: Kaleo Phillips Album: E Mama The emotional centerpiece of Show 708. This beautiful acoustic performance is a heartfelt tribute to fathers and the lasting influence parents have on our lives. Its stripped-down arrangement allows the lyrics to shine, making the song feel intimate and deeply personal. Coming immediately after "My Island Life," the song reminds us that the people who shape us are every bit as important as the places where we live. Sometimes the strongest songs aren't the loudest—they're the most sincere. Length: 3:19 7. American in Bali Artist: Martin Denny Album: Hypnotique (1959) Martin Denny helped create the Exotica genre during the late 1950s. Although not traditional Hawaiian music, his recordings became inseparable from the romantic image of Hawaiʻi and the South Pacific during the tiki era. "American in Bali" blends jazz, lounge music, tropical percussion, and Asian musical colors into a uniquely American musical fantasy of the Pacific. Recorded during the height of the Exotica movement, this selection represents an important chapter in the history of island-inspired music. Length: 2:29 8. Japanese Sandman Artist: Martin Denny Album: Hypnotique (1959) Continuing our journey through Exotica, Martin Denny reimagines the classic popular song "Japanese Sandman" with his signature atmospheric arrangements. Bird calls, vibraphones, bamboo percussion, and Asian-inspired instrumentation create a mysterious soundscape that captivated audiences during the late 1950s. While these recordings reflect American interpretations of Asian and Pacific cultures, they also became an influential part of Hawaiʻi's entertainment history and helped introduce many listeners to tropical-inspired music. Length: 1:35 9. Aloha ʻOe Artist: Elvis Presley Album: Blue Hawaii (1961) One of the most beloved songs ever associated with Hawaiʻi. Originally written by Queen Liliʻuokalani, Hawaiʻi's last reigning monarch, "Aloha ʻOe" has become one of the world's most recognized Hawaiian songs. Elvis' respectful performance introduced generations of moviegoers to this timeless Hawaiian farewell. The song's title means much more than simply "goodbye." It expresses love, affection, compassion, and the hope of meeting again. Its inclusion in Blue Hawaii helped make Hawaiian music part of American popular culture. Length: 1:53 10. No More Artist: Elvis Presley Album: Blue Hawaii (1961) We conclude this episode with another memorable selection from Blue Hawaii. Although many listeners assume it is a traditional Hawaiian song, "No More" is actually adapted from the famous Spanish melody "La Paloma." Its appearance in Blue Hawaii beautifully illustrates how Hawaiian popular culture has long embraced musical influences from around the world. The warm orchestration, romantic vocals, and tropical atmosphere provide a fitting conclusion to our musical journey across five eras of island music. Length: 2:23 Featured Albums Drifting On Island Time — Kalaʻe Camarillo (2025) Ei Nei, Look At Us — Ei Nei E Mama — Kaleo Phillips Hypnotique — Martin Denny (1959) Blue Hawaii (Expanded Edition) — Elvis Presley (1961) (Apple Music - Web Player) This Week's Musical Journey Show 708 follows a deliberate progression through Hawaiʻi's musical heritage: Contemporary Hawaiʻi — Modern island songwriting with Kalaʻe Camarillo Traditional Hawaiʻi — Hawaiian language, history, and cultural heritage with Ei Nei ʻOhana & Island Living — Personal stories from Kaleo Phillips The Exotica Era — Martin Denny's influential tropical soundscapes Hollywood Hawaiʻi — Elvis Presley and the enduring legacy of Blue Hawaii Together, these ten songs span more than six decades of music while demonstrating the remarkable diversity of Hawaiʻi's musical traditions.

One random night watching a Yankees and Orioles game somehow turned Ben Maller into the executive producer and kingpin of "The Maller Matchmaker: Friend Edition," a completely spontaneous and unnecessary adventure some 2,300-miles away from the People's Republic of California, co-starring Marlins Man and Sports With Coleman. Because when you see Marlins Man behind home plate, naturally the next move is to start meddling in people’s lives. Along the way, Ben plays the adult version of Where’s Waldo?, while Bob Uecker, Don King, Casey Kasem-style “long-distance dedications,” and the Pentagon somehow wander into the story. Sure, why not? Then there’s the important historical investigation nobody requested: What clothing item did President Truman, Elvis Presley, Tom Selleck, and Jimmy Buffett help make popular? We also squeeze in the Atari 2600, Jonestown, and the philosophical dilemma that has tortured mankind for generations: What exactly qualifies as Kool-Aid?

Was Elvis Presley's generosity as epic as his moves and his music? Author Sally A. Hoedel, says, yes!Sally, who joined us back on Episode 82, returns with her latest book, Destined to Give: The Legendary Generosity of Elvis Presley. It's the third installment in her acclaimed Destined series.Sally traces Elvis' big heart back to his childhood in Tupelo, where growing up in deep poverty taught him that survival was collaborative and it depended upon neighbors helping neighbors. Elvis' primary goal was not to see his name in lights but to keep the lights on for his parents who had poured their efforts into enabling Elvis to stay in school and become the first member of their extended families to graduate from high school.We explore how Elvis' sudden rise to stardom and riches shaped his life, triggering what Sally calls "sudden wealth syndrome,” a sense of guilt and unworthiness that compelled him to flagrantly share his fortune. Elvis' range of charitable acts and deeds ranged from: surprising a widowed neighbor with a private performance, buying new wheelchairs for strangers, and including a teenaged onlooker in a motorcycle splurge for his entourage. Sally offers that giving wasn't something Elvis did, it was who he was.Elvis' insatiable need to share his riches created his posse, “The Memphis Mafia.” Childhood friends who were payed to be his bodyguards, traveling buddies and social circle. The arrangement stifled the development of everyone concerned and limited Elvis' access to experienced show biz professionals which deepened the entrenchment of con-manager, Colonel Parker.Sally theorizes that, although his gift-giving was impulsive, under the thumb of Colonel Tom, it felt like the one part of his life he could control.Filled with fresh insight and memorable stories, this episode reveals the deeply human and vulnerable side of The King and tells the story of his compassion, his gratitude, and a lifelong desire to share his bounty with those who had provided it.

Rock 'n' roll has always had a dark side. Behind the music, the fame, the drugs, the excess, and the mythology are stories of mysterious deaths, unexplained events, strange symbols, secretive organizations, and rumors that have refused to die. Was that simply the inevitable mythology that grows around enormously famous musicians? Or are there stories hiding beneath the official versions of events that deserve another look? Author and podcast host Richard Syreet explores those questions in Tales from The Rock & Roll Twilight Zone: Eerie Enigmas and Supernatural Secrets from Rock's Darkest Corners. Syreet takes readers into some of the most mysterious episodes in rock history, revisiting stories surrounding artists including The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Elvis Presley, and others. His investigation explores alleged cover-ups, unexplained deaths, intelligence connections, occult symbolism, numerology, corporate influence, and the persistent idea that popular music has sometimes been used for purposes extending far beyond entertainment. But perhaps the most interesting question is not simply "Is the conspiracy true?" It's "How do we determine what is actually evidence—and what is mythology?" Today, Richard Syreet joins us to explore the strange, unsettling, and sometimes downright bizarre corners of rock history.
We open today with Linda Kearns stepping in for Dawn Stensland as Dawn enjoys a well-deserved break with her family. We dive right into historical milestones, reflecting on the 49th anniversary of Elvis Presley's funeral and recounting the public viewing at Graceland, the massive procession through Memphis, and the lasting cultural legacy of the King of Rock 'n' Roll. We also react to listener calls regarding Dr. Anthony Fauci, examining the legal complexities surrounding potential presidential pardons and debating whether pursuing prosecution makes sense as the midterms approach. We bring on independent journalists Frank Scales and Ian McGinnis from Surge Philly to break down what is happening on the ground at political demonstrations across the East Coast. The crew reacts to their firsthand accounts covering radical left-wing protests in Washington, D.C., where activists gathered to demonstrate against the one-year National Guard deployment. We discuss how crime rates and homicides dropped significantly following the deployment, while highlighting how extreme anti-American rhetoric and fringe political movements continue to surface at these demonstrations. We press Frank and Ian on the underlying causes of youth radicalization, exploring how economic pressure, a lack of community, and broken family structures drive young people toward socialist ideologies. To end the conversation on a lighter note, we put our guests through a fifth-grade trivia quiz covering basic American history and science, proving just how important real civic education is today. We wrap up the show looking ahead to the Phillies' playoff chances before handing off the microphone to the Dean of Talk Radio, Dom Giordano.
Guest host Linda Kearns fills in for Dawn Stensland and opens Monday with producer Andrew Tar, reacting to morning show host Nick Kayal's wild confession about skipping hand washing at the station. We honor the 49th anniversary of Elvis Presley's death, discussing his massive cultural legacy, his family's fight to secure his estate, and Andrew's own wedding anniversary connection to the King of Rock and Roll. Plus, we check in on the severe tropical weather impacting Hawaii and look ahead to a full lineup of special guests coming up this week on The Dawn Show. We welcome Joe DeFeliz, Regional Administrator and Assistant Deputy Secretary for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Joe breaks down HUD's new Opportunity Zones 2.0 initiative, explaining how the program incentivizes private capital to revitalize rural and distressed communities without relying on government handouts. He reflects on his travels through rural Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and New Jersey, and we pivot to talk local Philadelphia favorites—from the evolving city cheesesteak scene to massive expectations for the Phillies, Eagles, Sixers, and Flyers. Linda dives deep into election data to set the record straight on the widely hyped Amish vote in Pennsylvania from the 2024 election. Using data from Elizabethtown College, we examine the real numbers behind registration and turnout in Lancaster County to demonstrate why voters need to be critical consumers of social media claims. We wrap up by reminding listeners how to find the station's weekend programming on the Odyssey platform and getting ready to pass the mic over for Dom Time.

Air Week: August 17-23, 2026 Elvis’ R&B Influences 49 years ago this week, we lost the “King Of Rock n’ Roll. Much has been written about Elvis' enormous impact and popularity over the years, but it's almost impossible to overstate the cultural shift that took place as he rose to fame in 1956. Elvis was a musical sponge. He absorbed all the music that moved him and those around him, from Country and Hillbilly to Gospel, Pop, R&B and Blues. This week's “Juke In The Back” focuses solely on the rhythm & blues that motivated Elvis' early career. During the end of his first session with Sam Phillips, Elvis cut into an inspired rendition of a semi-forgotten Arthur Crudup gem and rock n' roll was literally born. From the New Orleans R&B of Smiley Lewis, to the jump blues of Wynonie Harris, Elvis dug it all and made each song uniquely his own. He wasn't copying his R&B idols, he was merely using their material as a springboard for his own blend of the White and the Black. Sam Phillips was right when he said that it would take a White cat with an African-American feel to propel this exciting R&B music into the mainstream and lucky for us, he found that in Elvis Presley. Matt The Cat presents many surprises in this week's “Juke In The Back,” dedicated to Elvis' strongest musical influence: Rhythm & Blues. LISTEN BELOW
A Saturday night with Cousin Brucie full of your phone calls and visits from Charlie Ingui of "The Soul Survivors" and Tony Orlando, who pays tribute to Elvis Presley.
En 1935 nació Elvis Presley y se estrenó Una noche en la ópera, de los hermanos Marx. La película seguro que les suena porque contiene una de las escenas más hilarantes de la historia del cine
There are certain moments when you realize the world you knew is gone forever. Your childhood home gets cleaned out. The cars you remember disappear. Your favorite mascot gets replaced. And, most devastating of all, 7UP decides it needs to become more lime-forward.We know. Take all the time you need.Episode 83 starts with some actual show business as the crew talks about trying to land a role — or at least get their faces somewhere in the background — in Sheriff Justice: The Series. There's also some movie talk surrounding Scott's short-film adventures before we arrive at the cultural earthquake nobody was prepared for: 7UP is changing its recipe.For the first time in 15 years, the lemon-lime soda is going lime-lemon.That announcement sends this comedy podcast directly into nostalgia mode as Rafe and Moon remember the glory days of 7UP's Uncola marketing, old-school glasses and, most importantly, Cool Spot. Remember Cool Spot? The red dot with sunglasses, sneakers and enough '90s attitude to somehow get his own Sega Genesis game? THAT was branding. Naturally, the conversation becomes a referendum on every mascot decision 7UP has made since, including poor Fido Dido catching strays decades after the fact.The trip down memory lane keeps rolling when the crew talks about cars disappearing from the market, including the Ford Escape, Jaguar F-Pace, Toyota GR Supra and Tesla Model S. That somehow brings Smart cars back into the conversation, which reminds everybody of that brief period when society tried to convince us driving something the size of a roller skate was the future.Then we Crap on Celebrities.Matthew McConaughey tells a story about using his Wedding Planner connection to Jennifer Lopez to help get himself out of a sticky traffic-stop situation in Mexico. Which raises an important question: if Matthew McConaughey still has to name-drop somebody else, what hope do the rest of us have?There's Barbie sequel drama involving Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, Greta Gerwig and some potentially enormous paydays. Kelly Ripa talks about needing gum-graft surgery. Selena Gomez and her Wondermind company face allegations in a lawsuit. Spider-Man is putting up gigantic box-office numbers, and the crew dives into a list of movies people online have branded some of the most boring films of the century.Then Anne Hathaway floats the idea that movies where dogs die should automatically get an R rating.Honestly, Old Yeller has been emotionally mugging children for generations, so at least somebody finally opened the investigation.We also get into the return of Ted Lasso, Axl Rose dealing with jaw problems while performing, and Lionel Richie cracking a joke about Usher and Chris Brown that predictably becomes an online debate. Because nothing said into a microphone is allowed to simply be a joke anymore. It must immediately become a panel discussion involving 40,000 strangers.But the centerpiece of the celebrity chaos is a game that deserves its own home edition: Good Tipper or Bad Tipper?The crew works through anecdotal stories involving John Cena, Chuck Norris, David Lee Roth, Dave Chappelle, Scottie Pippen, Shaq, Maria Shriver, 50 Cent, Stanley Tucci, Post Malone, Miley Cyrus, Bruce Willis, Elvis Presley, Jay-Z, Tina Fey, Jennifer Lopez, Kevin Hart, Jane Fonda and Jack Black.Some allegedly tipped huge. Some allegedly tipped terribly. Some stories immediately make the crew question humanity. And Scottie Pippen inspires a nickname so painfully obvious that humanity should be ashamed it took this long: No Tippin' Pippen.Again, these are anecdotes discussed during the show, not our personal surveillance operation into celebrities paying restaurant checks. We barely have enough resources to monitor our own lunch orders.The episode wraps with celebrity birthdays, Steve Martin age guesses, Reginald VelJohnson's incredible history of playing cops and the usual collection of references that make this comedy podcast feel less like a structured entertainment program and more like being trapped at a table with friends who remember every useless cultural detail except why they originally started talking.So pour yourself a 7UP — lemon-lime or the terrifying new lime-lemon variety — tip your server, fire up the Sega Genesis and enjoy another comedy podcast from The Rizzuto Show.Cool Spot, wherever you are: we remember you.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It is a privilege to welcome country music recording artist Caldwell to the Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast. Caldwell's sound is as raw and real as the life that shaped him. Raised in a diverse community and grounded in values of respect, hard work, and authenticity, Caldwell found his rhythm early, picking up the drums at age five and turning to songwriting during high school. The spark that lit the fuse came when he watched a friend shoot a music video and thought, “I can do this better.” Drawing inspiration from Eminem, Elvis Presley, Bruno Mars, and Morgan Wallen, Caldwell channels his Southern roots into a fearless fusion of country, rock, hip-hop, and pop. What began as a relentless grind through local venues and bar stages has evolved into sold-out performances, viral moments, and a rapidly expanding fanbase fueled by his faith, grit, and unwavering work ethic.Hailing from Greenville, South Carolina, Caldwell is redefining genre lines with a high-voltage blend of country, rock, rap, and pop. Following a breakout 2025 that saw him named Rolling Stone UK's #1 Artist to Watch with his viral hit “Beer & Baddies” featuring Sexyy Red, which debuted at number 31 on the Billboard Dance/Mix Show Airplay Chart, Caldwell continues his meteoric rise with a major milestone of partnering with independent record label EMPIRE Nashville. Caldwell took this energy and harnessed a show-stopping performance for a record-breaking crowd at CMA Fest's Dr Pepper Amp Stage. The performance left the crowd wanting more and fueled the iconic WAKA FLOCKA FLAME to say from the stage, “Caldwell is the most exciting new country artist to come up!”On this episode of The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Caldwell opened up about how Chad Kroeger and Morgan Wallen influenced his sound, the stories behind his songs, including “F.S.U.” and “Flyin' Pass – Remix” with Yung Pinch & MOD SUN.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/jake-s-take-with-jacob-elyachar--4112003/support.

In this episode, I welcome back friend of the show and galactic soul sister Gail Lynn, creator and visionary behind the Harmonic Egg.Gail shares the journey that led her from automotive engineering, telecommunications, and Hollywood into the world of sound, light, sacred geometry, and vibrational healing. We explore the origins and global expansion of the Harmonic Egg, along with the mysterious possibility that each Egg carries a living consciousness and remains energetically connected to the others around the world.From remote sessions and the energetic signatures of the land to galactic healing chambers, ancient technologies, dragon portals, and bi-location, this conversation moves deep into the stranger dimensions of the Harmonic Egg experience.At the heart of the episode is the frequency of integrity. Gail and I discuss the energy behind healers, musicians, companies, products, and technologies, as well as the difference between service and greed. We also explore audio quality, the importance of uncompressed WAV files, and Gail's new affordable app, created to make the Harmonic Egg music library accessible anywhere.We also discuss Marcy Dean's Love Evolved music and her Harmonic Egg piece “Epiphany,” Ross Kronick's reggae-inspired track “Answer,” Gail's work with animals, and the possibility of future sound-and-light technology for horses and other creatures.www.harmonicegg.com Gail Lynn Bio:Gail Lynn Bio:Gail Lynn, was first exposed to sound and light healing while working in the film industry as an executive producer for a movie about Elvis Presley called Protecting the King. When Gail's doctor diagnosed her with severe cardiovascular stress at the young age of 37, caused by an accumulation of stress from two challenging relationships and three successive and extremely competitive careers in the automotive and telecommunications industries, and then as a Hollywood producer, she knew that she had to find a radical solution to her health issues. Extensive research led her into the world of frequencymedicine and light and sound technologies.After just a weekend of sessions with a non-invasive sound and light chamber, her Heart RateVariability medical test showed the stress on her heart had significantly decreased. Unable to believe it could have been that easy, she continued sessions periodically for three years, during which a lifelong condition ofchronic asthma disappeared, along with severe migraines that had been plaguing her for 23 years.Determined to help others and open her own healing Center in Denver, Colorado, Gail simultaneously set out to uncover the ancient history and the modern science behind light and sound as healing therapies.
