Podcast appearances and mentions of george sr

I tell you what - this podcast costs me a lot of money. I'm so enthralled with my guests and what they do I almost argue I'm required to buy more products as a result of these recordings. Today is an absolute testament to this as George Glasgow, Jr. is my guest today. George is the CEO of George Cleverley, a business his father, George Sr., took over from the original George (Cleverley). I have long been a fan of this brand for the better part of 20 years - since the days I was living in North Carolina & introduced through the pages of GQ & Esquire. Like many subjects on this podcast, shoes can be an addiction, and if you have a brand of shoe that fits you so well, you'll more than likely agree. George and I talk about his early days working, drinking whiskey together, the car he's been hunting, as well as some distinctions of the various models in the Cleverley range. I'm thrilled to now call George a friend, and I had the distinct pleasure to meet George, Sr. last Fall where I snapped several portraits of Father & Son in black and white which I'll be sure to post.Links:STANDARD Hhttps://standard-h.com/@standardh_George Cleverelyhttps://www.georgecleverley.com/@georgecleverley

The Bluth family is back in full chaotic force in Arrested Development Season 3, Episode 11, Family Ties! This week, we unravel Michael's latest quest to uncover a long-lost sister—only to get tangled in a web of misunderstandings, a tech failure, and one very expensive escort. Meanwhile, Tobias and Lindsay continue to be the most mismatched married couple in existence, GOB takes religious misinterpretations to new heights, and Buster is still faking his coma (or is he?).

Sibling rivalry reaches new heights as Michael and Gob go head-to-head in the banana stand business—because, of course, there's always money in the banana stand… unless GOB's running it. Meanwhile, George Sr. continues his lifelong hobby of pitting his sons against each other, even selling old VHS tapes of their childhood brawls titled Boy Fights. Lucille's latest round of cosmetic surgery becomes a horror movie inspiration, and Buster gets in on the family lesson-teaching business—prosthetic hand and all. Plus, we debate whether GOB is actually a marketing genius, uncover the most ridiculous Arrested Development running gags, and ask the important question: should boy fights be a real reality show?

Who would you like to see come on the show? Subscribe to our channel and let us know in the comments! ABOUT ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT: Michael Bluth finds himself forced to stay in Orange County and run the

Michael enters a father-son triathlon with Steve Holt; Maeby dons a disguise to compete in an inner-beauty pageant while her parents coach other entrants; George Sr. speaks to at-risk youths, and Buster tries to recruit one to replace him in the Army.  Darren keeps those balls in the air with Amber and Jordan.

A new lawyer (Scott Baio) counsels the Bluths, who undo Michael's attempt to hide them from Rita; and George Sr. plots escape from house arrest. Darren is joined by Jim and Drew to try and skew younger, with juries and such.

George Sr. plans to attend Lucille's anniversary party, during which Michael hopes the Bluths will offend Ann's parents.  Darren, Justin and Jonathan think about one day maybe getting pre-pre-pre-engaged to this show.

Michael's new business model backfires when GOB suggests that they build a fake house in two weeks. Meanwhile, George Sr. turns up in Mexico, only to be captured by prison guards who have been injured by a shoddy device he tried to market in Mexico years earlier. Darren is joined by Ryan and Matthew to talk about how they just want their kids back.

Michael Bluth denounces his family after George Sr. escapes to Mexico with his secretary Kitty. But when Michael announces plans to move to Phoenix, Barry informs him that he cannot leave California or he will face prosecution for his father's crimes. While Michael scrambles to find the company checkbook, Lucille signs Buster up for the Army, and Lindsay and Tobias institute an open marriage. Darren is joined by Enrique and Jim to open up season 2.

Michael discovers the secret behind his father's financial woes, and George Sr. has a heart attack in prison and makes his escape from the hospital. Darren, Gena and Amber talk about the season 1 finale.

Gob throws a bachelor party to scare the company accountant -- who's getting ready to testify against George Sr. -- into believing he killed a stripper. Darren is joined for some unlimited juice by Edwin (Shot Reverse Shot) and Jessie (Turn to Page).

Michael has a one-night stand with a blind woman, who turns out to be his father's prosecutor. Cindi tells George Sr. that she's in love with him.Darren, Sarah and Ivan are blind to Maggie's charms.

The family attorney arranges George Sr.'s release from prison for Christmas. Later, George-Michael has to wear an embarrassing codpeice in a pageant.Darren, Sammi and Jordan meet Barry Zuckercorn and Wayne Jarvis. One is a professional, the other...not so much.

Michael gets a tip about the company's international accounts, and has GOB question the office secretary Kitty about them. But that's not before Michael does the unthinkable - setting up a conjugal visit between George Sr. and Lucille.Darren is joined by Craig and Kevin to discuss the sense of propriety they have. There was a slight issue with Craig's track, hopefully this should not spoil your enjoyment of the episode.

Determined to not be upstaged by his actress girlfriend, GOB decides to pull an elaborate escape at the Orange County Prison, where George Sr. is being held. Meanwhile, Michael falls for GOB's girlfriend Marta. Darren is joined by Stephanie Stone-Robb and Noah McMullen. There is a slight sound issue on Stephanie's track, hopefully this will not spoil your enjoyment of the episode.

Michael suspects that George Sr. is running the business from inside prison. George Michael is made manager of the banana stand, and Michael gives GOB a letter to mail after Lucille suggests that he be included in the business.Darren, CJ and Tricia are here to remind you there's always money in the banana stand.

     In film and television, the concept of the conjugal visit is well known, often portrayed for humorous effect. For example, Arrested Development featured a conjugal visit between George Sr. and Lucille (and Kitty) in the Season 1 episode “Visiting Ours.”  Although you might be familiar with the term you may not know where the word “conjugal” comes from—and whether such visits really occur as a regular part of prison life.     To clear up the first question, conjugal is actually derived from Latin (surprise, surprise). The word conjugare means to join together in marriage; that word is in turn derived from com (“together”) and jugare (“yoke”). So for all you marriage haters, here’s evidence that even in ancient times, marriage was considered akin to having a yoke placed around your neck. This definition further suggests that the modern conjugal visit is extended only to an inmate’s spouse, although in practice that varies (as discussed below).      Turning to the second question, do conjugal visits really exist outside of prison films and sitcoms? The answer depends on where you live. At one extreme, conjugal visits are forbidden in the United Kingdom, although you can go to this site if you want to petition for a change.  At the other end of the spectrum, Canadian inmates can participate in the Private Family Visiting (PFV) program. Qualifying inmates can have a visit of up to 72 hours once every two months in apartment-like units within the correctional facility. The facility even provides food in the “apartment” (although the inmate or his family has to pay for it).  Furthermore, family visits are not limited to legal spouses; the qualifying inmate can be visited by common law partners, children, parents, and other persons “with whom, in the opinion of the institutional head, the inmate has a close familial bond, provided they are not inmates.”  Meaning, no inmate-inmate action for our neighbors to the North.      In the United States, conjugal visits are not allowed in the federal system.  State practice varies, with most states disallowing conjugal visits. A brief Internet search reveals that only six states allow conjugal visits:  California, Mississippi, Connecticut, New Mexico, New York, and Washington. Each state has its own rules as to who can visit and for how long. California, for instance, allows conjugal visits for same sex domestic partners; depending on the facility, such visits could last up to 72 hours in a small apartment (a la Canada).  In comparison, Washington only allows visits by spouses whom inmates married before being convicted of the offense for which they are incarcerated.      So as a takeaway, think twice before trying to hook up with an inmate.  Chances are you won’t be able to get to spend “a weekend at the bone yard” (as California inmates put it) anytime soon.  Of course, you can always get married to a Mississippi inmate. According to the Department of Corrections website, your conjugal visit will last one hour and include “soap, condoms, tissue, sheets, pillowcase, face towel and a bath towel.” If that doesn’t get your motor running, you’re just not human.

People today are different, less naïve, less gullible, less open to suggestion than in the past. Christopher Isherwood describes this difference perfectly:   “To live sanely in Los Angeles or, I suppose, in any other large American city, you have to cultivate the art of staying awake. You must learn to resist the unceasing hypnotic suggestions of the radio, the billboards, the movies and the newspapers; those demon voices which are forever whispering in your ear what you should desire, what you should fear, what you should wear and eat and drink and enjoy, what you should think and do and be. They have planned a life for you from the cradle to the grave and beyond which it would be easy, fatally easy, to accept. The least wandering of the attention, the least relaxation of your awareness, and already the eyelids begin to droop, the eyes grow vacant, the body starts to move in obedience to the hypnotist's command. Wake up, wake up… you've got to think, to discriminate, to exercise your own free will and judgment.”   Yes, people today are definitely more skeptical than they used to be.   Have you noticed how few people these days spout the old “positive thinking” platitudes that were so popular during the revved-up years of Reagan, George Sr., and Bill Clinton? Quiet determination and clenched-teeth endurance are the virtues we admire today. A person spewing happy platitudes and cliché's is likely to be told, “Talk is cheap. Shut up and do something. Don't tell us what you believe. Show us.”   Conversations among friends are less likely to be shallow and superficial than in the past. Concerns run deeper, fears lie closer to the surface and frustration often simmers deep inside. Even the happiest people are a little bit angry.   The public is no longer looking for a perfect icon to worship. Most of them are looking for http://mondaymemo.wpengine.com/culturecode (an equally-flawed friend) with whom they can connect.   The online world gives us instant access to information. This has sensitized the public to the absence of facts in most selling messages. Unsubstantiated claims in advertising are likely to fall on deaf ears.   Much has been written about the importance of transparency as though transparency were still a choice. But it isn't. You are transparent whether you choose to be or not. Search engines have removed any veil you might have hidden behind.   I hear a voice whispering in the night: “Relevance and credibility, ad writer, are the words you must engrave on your heart if you will write ads that move the needle. The customer is asking, ‘Does this matter to me?' They are looking for relevance. And their second question is, ‘Do I believe what they're telling me?' They are looking for credibility.”   Today's customers have been lied to by the best. All but the stupidest of them can spot a half-truth a mile away.   Make no mistake; there are still plenty of stupid people left in America. Fools must outnumber con men or the con men could not find enough to live upon. My seat-of-the-pants estimate is that roughly 15 percent of Americans are gullible fools whose prejudices outweigh their intellect. I'm not trying to be vicious. I just don't want you to cling to those obvious exceptions that would appear to disprove the larger truth.   Fifteen percent of the population is still a pile of people and frankly, you can make a lot of money by yanking their chain with hyperbole, misdirection, overstatement and lies. But to me, writing ads that target stupid people is like beating up little children. I can do it. I just don't want to.   I'll bet you don't either.   Eighty-five percent of your prospective customers are intelligent people with unprecedented access to information. And as such, they are a hard public to...
