Rory has set a standard in both hogs and cattle, and has done it with as much or more passion than anyone. This is by far the best finale, hands down. Rich history, stories upon stories, mentorship, and much more. This is what Rory D would call "The Good Stuff." Empowerment Is Here.

Charlie Parsons: The Godfather of Reality TV on Creating The Word, The Big Breakfast, and Survivor
The Godfather (1972) is one of the very few movies to achieve supremacy both critically and commercially. Breaking all box office records upon its release, it now regularly appears on lists of the top ten films of all time. But while it surprised everyone 53 years ago, it's now a well-worn part of culture where a young person is guaranteed to have experienced it as a meme before ever seeing the movie. What impact does this pre-saturation have on young viewers? Can they still enjoy the film? Does it live up to the hype? Find out if this classic still packs the punch of a tommy gun or if it's an offer the newest generation can refuse. Hosts: Mark Netter & David Tausik Panelists: Guy Lewis, Kylee LaRue, Grace Chapman & Jake Flowers An ElectraCast Production Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaVTIH8mujA&t=120s Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Godfather IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068646/ Ebert Review: https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the-godfather-1972 Learn more about your ad choices.

¿Cómo lograron dos inmigrantes pobres, llegados desde Italia, formar una familia y un imperio criminal en Nueva York? Luchando, trabajando juntos, confiando en el otro. Todo lo que serían los Corleone, alguna vez en un lejano futuro, está en una magnífica escena de su humilde pasado.
For RA.1000, we take it back to the source with two never-before-heard tapes from Frankie Knuckles's private collection, the Godfather of House. There is no house music without Frankie Knuckles, literally or figuratively. The queer icon's luxurious DJ sets at Chicago's Warehouse gave a rising movement its name. From there, countless offshoots splintered and travelled the globe. But what did the genesis and growth of the sound really feel like? The Godfather of House left behind not only timeless records, but personalised cassettes with hand-drawn liner notes handed out to friends and family. Two of those, dated to 1989 and 1996, have been digitised especially for RA.1000. (Thank you to the Frankie Knuckles Foundation.) To put that in context: the first tape predates not only many of today's active clubbers, but the entire existence of jungle, drum & bass, UK garage, French touch, Jersey club, Afrobeats, IDM, baile funk, hardcore, footwork, dubstep, dub techno, tech house, breaks, minimal, maximal, gqom, gabber, grime and hyperpop. In short… that's a very, very long time ago. The world of dance music was much smaller. DJ culture was functionally unrecognisable from the one we see in 2025. And yet, to some degree, what you'll hear on RA.1000 hasn't changed at all. It's a capture of not only what made Frankie Knuckles one of the beloved pioneers of first-generation dance music, but what draws people to club culture in the first place. The mood on these Frankie Knuckles sets outlasts even its creator: a spirit of optimism that floods the world's best dance floors and keeps dance music pulsing on into the future, nearly 40 years later, in spite of it all. We end our 1000th mix celebrations here because it all starts there. Find the tracklist at ra.co/podcast/1018.

So will AI wipe us out? According to Geoffrey Hinton, the 2024 Nobel laureate in physics, there's about a 10-20% chance of AI being humanity's final invention. Which, as the so-called Godfather of AI acknowledges, is his way of saying he has no more idea than you or I about its species-killing qualities. That said, Hinton is deeply concerned about some of the consequences of an AI revolution that he pioneered at Google. From cyber attacks that could topple major banks to AI-designed viruses, from mass unemployment to lethal autonomous weapons, Hinton warns we're facing unprecedented risks from technology that's evolving faster than our ability to control it. So does he regret his role in the invention of generative AI? Not exactly. Hinton believes the AI revolution was inevitable—if he hadn't contributed, it would have been delayed by perhaps a week. Instead of dwelling on regret, he's focused on finding solutions for humanity to coexist with superintelligent beings. His radical proposal? Creating "AI mothers" with strong maternal instincts toward humans—the only model we have for a more powerful being designed to care for a weaker one.1. Nobody Really Knows the Risk Level Hinton's 10-20% extinction probability is essentially an admission of complete uncertainty. As he puts it, "the number means nobody's got a clue what's going to happen" - but it's definitely more than 1% and less than 99%.2. Short-Term vs. Long-Term Threats Are Fundamentally Different Near-term risks involve bad actors misusing AI (cyber attacks, bioweapons, surveillance), while the existential threat comes from AI simply outgrowing its need for humans - something we've never faced before.3. We're Creating "Alien Beings" Right Now Unlike previous technologies, AI represents actual intelligent entities that can understand, plan, and potentially manipulate us. Hinton argues we should be as concerned as if we spotted an alien invasion fleet through a telescope.4. The "AI Mothers" Solution Hinton's radical proposal: instead of trying to keep AI submissive (which won't work when it's smarter than us), we should engineer strong maternal instincts into AI systems - the only model we have of powerful beings caring for weaker ones.5. Superintelligence Is Coming Within 5-20 Years Most leading experts believe human-level AI is inevitable, followed quickly by superintelligence. Hinton's timeline reflects the consensus among researchers, despite the wide range.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

BIBLE STUDY
Sol Price is the most influential retailer you've never heard of. A man who never sought the spotlight, but whose legacy and lessons cover the entire landscape of modern retail. Have you ever wondered why you can still buy a hot dog and soda for $1.50 today at Costco? We can thank Sol Price for that. To him, keeping promises to customers mattered more than profit margins. Sam Walton said he borrowed more ideas from Sol Price than anyone else. Jim Sinegal of Costco said, “I didn't learn a lot from Sol. I learned everything.” Jeff Bezos studied him. Home Depot echoed him. He invented the warehouse club, pioneered membership retail and built two multi-billion-dollar companies. The real lessons aren't about what he built, but how he did it. This is the story of how a lawyer with no retail experience created an industry, mentored his competition, and proved that nice guys don't always finish last. ------ Approximate Timestamps: (00:00) Introduction (02:01) Early Years (08:29) Starting FedMart (28:33) Price Club (36:19) When Students Surpass the Teacher (42:09) The Teacher's Last Lesson (43:46) Reflections And Lessons ------ Upgrade: Get a hand edited transcripts and ad free experiences along with my thoughts and reflections at the end of every conversation.

We've always said to understand the economy, you have to understand human nature, and nothing reveals that better than watching the biggest players do a Godfather-style U-turn for easy money. In this episode, we connect the dots between Marlon Brando's Don Corleone and Jamie Dimon's pivot from calling crypto “a fraud” to using it as loan collateral, all while the President of the United States holds stakes in coins of his own. We unpack how the $2 trillion crypto market has morphed from anti-Wall Street rebellion to one of the most powerful lobby groups in America, funnelling cash to Congress to rewrite the rules. Along the way, we lift the lid on stablecoins, explain why money is a public good (not a private printing press for the TikTok age), and ask what happens if the dollar's last line of defence, the Fed, gets taken out. Life imitating art imitating life… and the ending might not be pretty. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Fr. Daniel Alloy, FSSP has served as Parochial Vicar at Regina Caeli Parish in Houston, Texas since July of 2022. He was ordained in June of 2020. In Today's Show: Do you anticipate the Traditional Latin Mass will grow and flourish in a very big way the next 10-20 years? I was wondering what the proper etiquette is whenever a priest is entering/exiting the church for mass? My parish largely bows to the priest but I've heard that that is not appropriate. Should Catholic men listen to Andrew Tate? How to properly forgive and forget I've heard a traditional priest once say that if the Godfather isn't holding the baby while the baby is being baptized, he is not a valid Godfather. Is this true? Father's stance on the Neocatechumenal Way What does the church teach about self defense such as karate? Are Catholics allowed to use self defense? Are any of them based in other religions that we should avoid? Can saints and angels hear our mental prayers? Converting for the sake of marriage - is it a "true" conversion? When I went to the Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Scapular Mass, I forgot to bring my Scapular. Do I need to get that blessed or, rather, is it the person who is blessed? How do we help Jerusalem and the Christians? During the solemn high mass, the sub deacon wears a certain type of veil and he carries the patent during the offertory. What's the significance? How many of the "extra" biblical miracles are Catholics obliged to believe? At a sung mass, why are the laity instructed to sit during the creed? I'm new to the Latin Mass but interested in attending. Is it okay if I just follow along silently, or am I expected to respond in Latin?

It's a name this is as deceptively innocent as the stage antics were outrageous. Classic Albums, Shock and Awe: Early psychedelic albums Pretties for You (1969) and Easy Action (1970). Paul Derringer labels these albums “shockingly bad” but crucial to the band's formation. (To disagree with Paul, send an email to feedback@derringerdiscoveries.com – ATTENTION: PAUL)

We ❤️ Case Studies! Nurse practitioner and mom of three, Lisa, opens up and shares what's in her wallet, and her heart. In this episode we dive into her fascinating late-starter story and financials. She was also this year's brave Case Study at the EconoMe conference and revealed all her numbers in front of a live audience to get crowd-sourced feedback in real time. What transpired afterwards was powerful- she quit her day job and handed in her clinical badge to enjoy a sabbatical she had been longing for! With a little help from some Boldin financial modeling and a Nectarine hourly planner, she made the leap and takes us through exactly how she did it. === VOTE FOR US: PLUTUS AWARDS === We need your vote for the 2025 Plutus Awards!

In this lively and entertaining episode of Restaurant Owners Uncorked, Wil Brawley sits down in the famed Branded Hospitality studio with Michael “Schatzy” Schatzberg and Jimmy Frischling, the duo behind Branded Hospitality Group. What begins as a nostalgic look back at their individual paths into hospitality, Schatzy from dishwashing at a bagel shop, Jimmy from bartending during his finance career, evolves into a deeper conversation about how their complementary backgrounds led them to create a unique investment and advisory platform for hospitality tech. Their journey includes operating and investing in restaurants, vetting emerging technologies, and launching a hospitality-focused investment vehicle that now includes nearly 60 companies. This episode blends humor, personal stories, sharp insights into tech adoption in restaurants, and reflections on the high-touch, deeply fragmented nature of the industry. Wil, Schatzy, and Jimmy also dive into cultural icons like Cheers and Rocky, all while echoing the central truth: relationships, trust, and simplicity still matter most in hospitality.Key Takeaways:Humble Beginnings in HospitalitySchatzy started at a bagel shop at age 15 doing grunt work, later bartended at Duke's, and eventually became a co-owner. Jimmy cut his teeth barbacking and waiting before moving into finance, hospitality was always a “gig job” until he circled back as an investor.Complementary PartnershipBranded Hospitality was born from blending Schatzy's deep operational experience with Jimmy's financial acumen. Their combined perspectives helped them create a unique platform for restaurant tech investment and advisory.Restaurant as Testing Grounds for TechTheir real breakthrough came when they used one restaurant to pilot four tech tools: Pour My Bev, Chowly, Bbot, and GoParrot. That pilot validated their thesis and launched Branded's broader investment strategy.Fragmented Industry, Custom SolutionsWith 70% of restaurants being independents, there's no one-size-fits-all tech stack. Branded emphasizes operator-driven solutions. Tech must meet operators where they are and be something they'd actually pay for and use.Investments and ApproachBranded has invested in nearly 60 companies via funds, SPVs, and family office partnerships. They screen over six companies a week and have a strong filtering process rooted in operational validation rather than pitch decks.Importance of Word-of-Mouth Over InfluencersSchatzy and Jimmy stressed the value of personal trust networks in tech vetting. “Know and trust” beats paid influencers. Word of mouth is still king, especially in a people-first industry.Tech Is a Support Role, Not the StarDespite enthusiasm for AI, robotics, and personalization, the hosts emphasized that restaurants will always be about food, hospitality, and human connection. Tech enhances but doesn't replace that.Community & Independent Operators MatterIndependents aren't just small players, they're vital to neighborhood vibrancy and cultural identity. Branded sees Schedulefly as a valuable tool to build community and share knowledge among these operators.The Future: Data-Informed, Human-TouchedThey see a future where guest data is used meaningfully, like knowing who's dining and what they love, but tied closely to real human engagement. Hospitality is still personal, even if it's tech-informed.Fun, Nostalgia, and CultureFrom Cheers and Friends to Rocky and Godfather references, the episode celebrates the enduring joy of classic stories, mirroring the timeless essence of hospitality: welcoming, connecting, and making people feel at home.

In a highly-anticipated segment, Sal was joined by the legendary Mike Francesa, marking a significant reunion on the airwaves of WFAN. The two sports talk hosts discussed a wide range of topics, from Francesa's viral Giants' podcast with Eli Manning to the current state of the Yankees and Mets. Francesa, never one to mince words, offered his characteristically fiery takes on New York sports, including his blunt assessment of the Yankees' roster and the Jets' new coaching staff, while also giving a rare glimpse into his personal life and a good-natured jab at Sal's on-air style.

As Jesse keeps reminding us, this is the week where EVERYTHING CHANGES in Paradise. Instead of just finding love, the cast is now tasked with finding someone that they can pretend to enjoy enough to make it to the end and secure half a million dollars. The first challenge of this brave new world boosts some, like Jeremy and Bailey, while others, like Gary and Leslie, falter. Meanwhile, Brian is doing backroom deals with Jeremy instead of nurturing his connection with Parisa, and Jonathon is silently friend-zoning yet another woman.

Holidays often mean we post a listicle...and so the Civic Holiday brings about our breakdown of the American Film Institute's greatest movies that DIDN'T make their 1998 or 2007 Top 100 lists. So there's no Citizen Kane, Godfather, Jaws action here. These are nominees that were shunned both times, such as Dog Day Afternoon, Ghostbusters, L.A. Confidential...and so many more. Bev listed her #100 down to #11 alphabetically while Ryan came up with categories in groups of 10. Then we each did a more thorough analysis of our Top 10 lists. So get cozy on this first Monday of August as the 679th edition of Have You Ever Seen highlights 100+ choices of outstanding American movies on this AFI's Not Quite 100 listicle. Well, Actually: Brad Pitt IS in 3 movies between our 2 lists, but one of them was just a tiny cameo in Being John Malkovich. Also, it appears that Martin Scorsese should not have been listed with the directors who have 3 movies on one or both of our lists (it's just 2). Also also, Sigourney Weaver WAS in an AFI movie, but her 3 seconds in Annie Hall was a cameo at the very end where you can barely tell it's her. Sparkplug Coffee? Why, they sponsor us.

The Smashing Pumpkins were one of the most successful bands of the 1990s, both commercially and critically. Their 30 million album sales worldwide makes a strong case for their importance to the alternative rock movement. The band was formed in Chicago by guitarist James Iha, bassist D'arcy Wretzky, percussionist Jimmy Chamberlin, and frontman/guitarist Billy Corgan. Corgan writes much of their material and has been the sole member to be continuously present in the group since their formation.In 1995, Billy Corgan wrote about 56 songs and wanted to creat a double album. His vision was for Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness to be "The Wall for Generation X." The album was intended to be a conceptual piece portraying the cycle of life and death. The band brought in Flood and Alan Moulder to co-produce the album. Flood had the band change its routine for this album, having the group start recording in the rehearsal space rather than the studio in order to better capture their live sound. He also required the band to set aside time in each day for just jamming and song writing in order to keep the process from becoming a grind.The result of this effort was both a critical and commercial success. "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness" debuted at number 1 on the US Billboard 200, the only Smashing Pumpkins album to do so thus far. The 28 songs spanning two CD's, and three vinyl LP's earned the band nominations in seven categories at the Grammy Awards, and the band won the Grammy for Best Hard Rock Performance with Vocal for the single "Bullet with Butterfly Wings."Lynch brings us this smashing multi-album for today's podcast. 1979The second single from the album features loops and samples, more of a synth-pop sound than had been present previously in Smashing Pumpkin songs. According to Corgan, this song was the last of the 56 songs he wrote for the album. The lyrics paint a picture of the transition from youth to adulthood, waiting for something to happen just around the corner.Bullet with Butterfly WingsThe lead single from the album was the band's first top 40 hit in the United States, reaching number 22 on the Billboard Hot 100. Musically this track has a more grunge vibe than alt rock. The lyrics are a somewhat overly dramatic portrayal of the pain that comes from being a rock star and the downsides of fame.ZeroThe shortest song on the album relates to a feeling of apathy, and being let down by emotions and spirituality. "Intoxicated with the madness, I'm in love with my sadness." Corrigan's signature look is a black shirt with the word "ZERO" printed on the front.Tonight, TonightThe symphonic orchestration of this song shows some of the diversity of the tracks on this album. The inspiration for this song is Corgan's departure from Chicago to pursue his dreams, leaving an abusive childhood behind. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra participated in the recording with a 30-piece string section. This song went to number 36 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and number 7 on the UK Singles chart. STAFF PICKS:Downtown by Neil YoungRob open this week's staff picks with a grunge piece from the Godfather of Grunge. Members of the band Pearl Jam provide the backing instrumentation for this song and the album "Mirror Ball." The lyrics reference Led Zeppelin, Jimmy Page, and hippies doing the Charleston and the Limbo.Lump by The Presidents of the United States of AmericaWayne's staff pick is about a woman who is on the singer's mind like a lump of cancer in his brain. Clocking in at about 2 minutes, this is more of a punk song than alt rock or grunge.Hard as a Rock by AC/DCGregg brings us the first and most successful single from AC/DC's thirteenth studio album "Ballbreaker." This album marks the return of drummer Phil Rudd to the band for the first time since 1983. This song has a more blues-oriented sound than the heavy metal sound more typical of their well-known songs from the 80's. LEI (Laugh/Entertainment/Instrumental) TRACK:Main Theme from the motion picture "Strange Days"This science fiction film noir movie starring Ralph Fiennes and Angela Bassett takes us out of this week's podcast.

This week, we're drowning in the genius of our tech overlords as Elon Musk opens his Tesla diner, complete with $17 hotdogs and a blocked apartment view, while his $9 billion Neuralink startup claims it's a "disadvantaged" business. Not to be outdone, SpaceX is mad about other people's space junk, France is criminally probing X for algorithm manipulation, and Meta is giving the EU's AI code of practice a hard pass. Amid warnings the AI bubble is worse than the dot-com implosion, we've seen Replit delete a user's database, ChatGPT hallucinate features into existence, and the FDA's own AI fake medical studies. It's no wonder psychologists are identifying "AI Psychosis" while others hope the ensuing internet slop cures our addiction. Meanwhile, a Denver couple gets indicted for a crypto scam, a Colorado pastor blames God for his failed coin, and Trump signs a stablecoin bill, so that's all fixed now. To top it off, Lyft lets you block drivers and Uber finally lets women riders match with women drivers in the US.In Media Candy, we're turning the nostalgia dial to eleven with "This Is Spinal Tap" in 4K and a look back at 1994's best movies, a time before Spotify started polluting dead artists' pages with AI-generated songs. Netflix is also using generative AI, but we're still watching "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds," "Hacks," "Wednesday," "Superman," "Sunday Best," and "Bookish." For your app fix, you can browse a glorious collection of 90s Geocities backgrounds or let Amazon's new Bee AI wearable listen to your every word, your choice. At the library, we're digging into Michael Palin's "Python Years" diaries. Finally, we pour one out in our closing shout-outs for George Kooymans of Golden Earring, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Hulk Hogan, and the Prince of Darkness himself, Ozzy Osbourne.
