Linda Purl has spent more than five decades building an extraordinary career across television, film, Broadway and music. In this episode of Still Here Hollywood, Linda joins Steve Kmetko for a funny, candid and surprisingly personal conversation about Happy Days, Matlock, The Office, Andy Griffith, Garry Marshall, aging in Hollywood and the unexpected love story that brought her and Dallas star Patrick Duffy together.Linda reveals what The Office was really like behind the scenes, why Happy Days had only one bathroom for the cast and crew, and the remarkable story Andy Griffith told her about fighting for his role in A Face in the Crowd. She also opens up about reconnecting with Patrick Duffy during COVID, their nightly Zoom conversations and the moment he finally drove from Oregon to Colorado to see if their friendship could become something more.Plus, Linda talks about returning to the stage, her lifelong love of music, handling criticism, getting older without “giving up,” and how she and Patrick turned a 70-year-old family sourdough starter into Duffy's Dough and a mission to help fight food insecurity.It's Linda Purl, still working, still laughing, still singing and very much Still Here.#LindaPurl, #PatrickDuffy, #HappyDays, #TheOffice, #Matlock, #AndyGriffith, #GarryMarshall, #RonHoward, #Dallas, #StillHereHollywood, #SteveKmetko YOUTUBE CHAPTERS00:00 Linda Purl Is Still Here01:02 Growing Up in Japan07:34 Becoming an Actor10:42 Auditioning for The Office12:17 Garry Marshall and the Happy Days Family14:49 The Truth About Improv on The Office16:20 The Lasting Bonds of Happy Days18:26 Returning to Happy Days as a Different Character20:16 Working With Andy Griffith on Matlock21:58 Andy Griffith's Wild Elia Kazan Story24:30 Linda's Advice for Young Actors27:43 Criticism and Bad Reviews29:21 Social Media and the New Hollywood32:37 Aging in Hollywood34:20 Linda's Other Career as a Singer38:55 Her New Album, From My Heart41:33 Reinvention and Gregory Harrison's Life Lesson44:22 Playing 16 Characters in Crazy Mama47:55 Falling in Love With Patrick Duffy53:05 Patrick's 70-Year-Old Sourdough Starter56:36 Turning Duffy's Dough Into a Business1:03:33 What Linda Hopes People Remember Show CreditsHost/Producer: Steve KmetkoAll things technical: Justin ZangerleExecutive Producer: Jim LichtensteinMusic by: Brian Sanyshyn https://stillherehollywood.comhttp://patreon.com/stillherehollywoodSuggest Guests at: stillherehollywood@gmail.comAdvertise on Still Here Hollywood: jim@stillherenetwork.comPublicist: Maggie Perlich: maggie@numbertwelvemarketing.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

When George Dubec and his wife sold the largest singles network in South Florida in the early nineties, the buyer was another matchmaking firm looking to expand into events. What they were actually paying for was the database. "They couldn't replicate me and my wife as the face of the business," George says. Nearly forty years later, that lesson still drives how he advises business owners. George Dubec is considered one of the top business and social networking experts in the United States. He began his career as an engineer, rising to executive staff at Packard Electric, a division of General Motors, before moving to Florida in 1985 to build companies of his own. He has hosted radio and TV programs including the Internet Business Hour, has judged the Web Awards since 2006, and now serves on the advisory board of America's Real Deal, a business investment television show. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: How business owners can access capital outside the standard fundraising path, including tax credits, tax refunds, and legal settlements that already belong to them. Why a customer database may be the most saleable asset a company owns. How fractional deals, crowdfunding platforms, and crypto-based sweeteners are reshaping who can invest and who can raise. And why a two to five minute pitch video now opens more investor doors than a polished deck. GEORGE'S JOURNEY: George grew up in Boardman, Ohio, in a town he compares to Happy Days, where he saw the first television set in the neighborhood and the phones were still party lines. He was the first person in his family to graduate from college, attending Youngstown State University. He spent roughly eighteen years at General Motors as an engineer before buying his job out and relocating to South Florida in 1985. With his wife he built the largest singles network in South Florida, running it from 1985 until about 1992, before online dating existed. After selling, he moved into the early web with a company called Webstream, hosting sites, then building them, then adding search engine optimization. He launched the Internet Business Hour radio show in 1998 and ran it for about twelve years. He technically retired from the company in 2010 and shifted into alternative funding work with business owners. KEY INSIGHTS: Data is the asset owners undervalue. The buyer of George's first company wanted the list, not the events. He now maintains a database of forty thousand clean email addresses and tells owners to build one, because it can generate revenue long before an exit and may be what a buyer is actually purchasing at the exit. There is money most owners never look for. George describes himself as an alternative funder, helping business owners recover capital through tax reimbursements, tax credits, tax refunds, and legal settlements. As he puts it, going out with a pitch deck and asking for money is really tough, and most owners stop at the one channel they already know. Widened access comes with a vetting problem. Alternative investments were once closed to all but the wealthy. Opening them up has real benefits, but George is candid that many of these platforms have two or three years of history and no track record to evaluate. "It's kind of like the wild frontier. It's like digging for gold." The pitch video is the new front door. Investors are buried in decks and one-pagers they do not have time to read. George recommends a two to five minute video of you and your principals as the thing that earns the deck a read. What investors are assessing in those minutes is whether the person pitching has the attitude, moxie, and experience to make it work. Freedom requires a system. Asked what freedom means to him, George argued that eleven superstars who each do their own thing will never win a football game. "You gotta find a system that suits you, that you can be free in the system." Perfect for business owners who have been told that bootstrapping and venture capital are the only two real options for funding growth.WANT TO BE A GUEST ON DEALQUEST?Apply here: https://beaguestondealquest.com FOR MORE ON THIS EPISODE: https://www.coreykupfer.com/blog/georgedubec FOR MORE ON GEORGE DUBEC: https://theultimatenetworker.com https://techunfilteredagi.com https://www.americasrealdeal.com FOR MORE ON COREY KUPFER https://www.linkedin.com/in/coreykupfer/ https://www.coreykupfer.com/ Corey Kupfer is an expert strategist, negotiator, and dealmaker.

After roughly eighteen years as an engineer at Packard Electric, a division of General Motors, he moved to Florida in 1985 and co-founded the largest singles network in South Florida with his wife, operating it until the early nineties. He then entered the early web industry with Webstream, working in hosting, web development, and search engine optimization, and launched the Internet Business Hour radio show in 1998, which he hosted for about twelve years. He has judged the Web Awards since 2006. Today he works with business owners on alternative funding sources, serves on the advisory board of the business investment show America's Real Deal, and hosts a new podcast called Tech Unfiltered. He is writing a book titled How to Thrive and Survive in the New High-Tech AI World. Related Episodes Episode 350 with Tom Dillon covers when not to take venture capital money and walks through alternative funding sources including private credit, SBA loans, term loans, and sale-leasebacks. It pairs directly with George's argument that most owners default to one channel and stop. Episode 370 with Gerry Hays examines democratizing access to early-stage investing through very small stakes, which speaks to the same tension George raises between widening access and protecting less experienced investors. Episode 351 is a solocast where Corey explores deal structures beyond mergers, acquisitions, and capital raising, including joint ventures, strategic alliances, and licensing agreements. A useful companion for owners looking to grow without a traditional raise.

Send us Fan MailS6 145 - Why Teens Become Night Owls: Puberty, Sleep & What Parents Can DoWhy does your teenager suddenly want to stay up late, struggle to wake up for school, and sleep until noon on weekends?It may not be laziness, poor discipline, or even insomnia.In this episode of Sleep Takeout, psychologist Dr. Daniel Baughn and sleep medicine physician Dr. Michelle Zetoony explain what happens to teen sleep during puberty, why the adolescent body clock naturally shifts later, and what parents can do to help without turning bedtime into a nightly battle.During adolescence, the brain's circadian rhythm can shift substantially later, making teens feel alert at night and genuinely sleepy later in the morning. Unfortunately, early school schedules often work directly against that biology.And simply sending a teenager to bed earlier doesn't necessarily solve the problem.In fact, spending long periods awake in bed can create frustration, increase sleep-related pressure, and sometimes teach the brain to associate the bed with wakefulness instead of sleep.In this episode, we cover:
Send us Fan MailIf you only had one last day left in each Disney park, what would you do with it? We put ourselves on the spot with a “one last time” draft where we have to choose a single snack, quick service, table service, ride, and show before that park closes for good. It's part strategy, part nostalgia, and part brutally honest taste test of what actually holds up when you can't hide behind vibes and tradition.We start with a fun warmup: recreating and reviewing the Happy Days cocktail from ABC Commissary at Disney's Hollywood Studios, breaking down the recipe and why it works as an easy, fruity park drink. Then we jump park to park through Disneyland and Walt Disney World, arguing over the best final ride (Big Thunder Mountain Railroad gets a lot of love), the quick service meals that would genuinely hurt to lose (hello Tiana's Palace and Satu'li Canteen), and the snacks that feel tied to place like School Bread at Epcot.The debates get real when we weigh ambiance against flavor at table service spots like Blue Bayou, spotlight the restaurants we'd book as a true “last meal” (Brown Derby, Liberty Tree Tavern), and call out the shows that still deliver when you've seen them a dozen times. We also end with resort picks, from bucket-list dining to lounges we keep missing because of timing.Hit play, then share your own “one last time” picks with us. If you enjoyed this kind of Disney planning conversation, subscribe, leave a review, and send the episode to the friend who always insists they can't skip a sit-down meal.

There's a reason for that, and it may have less to do with how tired you are than with what your brain has learned to associate with your bed.In this episode of Sleep Takeout, psychologist Dr. Daniel Baughn and sleep medicine physician Dr. Michelle Zetoony explain how chronic insomnia can become a learned pattern through classical and operant conditioning, and how CBT-I helps teach the brain to sleep again.If your bedroom has become a place for worrying, clock-watching, trying to force sleep, scrolling, frustration, or lying awake for hours, your brain can gradually begin associating the bed with wakefulness and arousal instead of sleep.That helps explain one of the strangest experiences in insomnia:You're falling asleep on the couch…but the second your head hits the pillow, you're awake.In this episode, you'll learn:
Tonight on Triple Feature we are doing a director focus on Gary Marshall by reviewing 3 of his seminal works, The Flamingo Kid, Beaches and Pretty Woman. Marshall came to film after creating and producing television institutions including Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley and Mork & Mindy, bringing his populist approach to character and comedy to Hollywood. The Flamingo Kid, starring Matt Dillon, spent more than a decade in development before becoming the first film ever assigned the newly created PG-13 rating, although Red Dawn reached theaters first. Beaches paired Bette Midler and Barbara Hershey for a decades-spanning female friendship drama whose legacy became inseparable from Midler's Grammy-winning "Wind Beneath My Wings." Two years later, Marshall directed Pretty Woman, transforming a considerably darker screenplay into a modern Cinderella story that made Julia Roberts a superstar and became one of the defining romantic comedies of its era. Tonight we examine the development, production and cultural legacy of all three films and the career of the filmmaker who connected them.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

Oura Ring, Apple Watch & the ScienceDo your Oura Ring, Apple Watch, Fitbit, or Garmin actually know when you're asleep, or are they making an educated guess?In this episode of Sleep Takeout, psychologist Dr. Daniel Baughn and sleep medicine physician Dr. Michelle Zetoony break down what sleep trackers really measure, how those measurements compare with a clinical sleep study, and why your nightly sleep score may not be as precise as it looks.We also examine the proposed class action lawsuit involving Oura's sleep-stage accuracy claims, what Oura says in response, and what the research actually tells us about consumer sleep wearables.You'll learn:
Everyone keeps diagnosing Putin's mood, not least given the CIA Director's visit to Moscow. Putin is angry, he's frightened, he's desperate -- that seems to be the standard Western talking point these days, and hence the fear that he might do something dangerously escalatory.But is he? Things might actually look rather more encouraging from his perspective. So, in this episode, I try and peer through the Kremlin's windows, to understand how he believes things are going, in war and potential peace.Finally, I look at Nicole Grajewski's excellent new book, Russia and Iran.

Send us Fan MailS6 142 - Does Chronic Insomnia Cause Dementia? What the Research Really SaysCan chronic insomnia increase your risk of dementia, Alzheimer's disease, or long-term cognitive decline? And if you aren't getting enough deep sleep, is your brain missing an important opportunity to recover?In this episode of Sleep Takeout, Dan and Michelle tackle a question that creates a lot of anxiety for people struggling with sleep: Does chronic insomnia actually damage the brain?Research has found important associations between poor sleep, cognitive decline, and neurodegenerative disease—but the relationship is far more complicated than saying that insomnia simply “causes” dementia.Dan and Michelle break down what the research actually tells us about insomnia, deep sleep, memory, brain health, and dementia risk, including several possible pathways researchers are investigating.They discuss:• Why the connection between chronic insomnia and dementia is still unclear• The difference between association and causation in sleep research• How anxiety about memory loss can itself make insomnia worse• The role of genetics, including ApoE, in neurological risk• How cardiovascular health, metabolism, aging, and prior medical conditions can affect cognition• The glymphatic system and the theory that deep N3 sleep helps support the brain's nighttime waste-clearance processes• Neuroinflammation and oxidative stress as possible links between poor sleep and brain health• Cerebrovascular factors that may contribute to cognitive decline• Chronic hyperarousal and the bidirectional relationship between anxiety and insomnia• Why medications and other health variables can complicate sleep-and-dementia research• How research funding and publication bias can influence the studies that receive attention• Why spending more time in bed does not necessarily mean getting more restorative sleep• How deep sleep naturally changes as we age• Why comparing your sleep to your younger self—or someone much younger—can create unnecessary frustration• Why consumer sleep trackers may not accurately measure N3 or “deep sleep”• How mindfulness and reducing the sleep-worry spiral can help you move toward better sleepOne of the most important takeaways from this episode is that worrying that every bad night of sleep is damaging your brain can create additional arousal that makes good sleep even harder to achieve.Rather than chasing perfect sleep or obsessing over a wearable's “deep sleep” score, focus on meaningful progress in your own sleep, daytime functioning, and overall health.Chapters00:00 Insomnia and Brain Decline00:54 Why the Link Is Murky02:37 Deep Sleep and the Glymphatic System04:17 Other Pathways, Health Factors & Medications06:31 Research Bias and Funding08:28 Stop the Sleep-Worry Spiral09:15 Aging, Deep Sleep & Real Progress09:57 Wearables and Final TakeawaysSleep Takeout explores sleep science, insomnia, sleep apnea, medications, mental health, and practical strategies for getting better rest—without the hype.Subscribe for evidence-informed conversations that help make complicated sleep science easier to understand.This podcast is for educational purposes only and is not individualized medical advice.

It's Christmas in July here on the podcast, and we're back discussing that most eternal of all holiday classics: Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. More specifically, we're taking a look at the 1979 made-for-TV movie An American Christmas Carol. This adaptation transposes the story into 1930s New England, where the town miser is Benedict Slade, played by Henry Winkler. The film first aired in December of 1979, in the middle of Happy Days' seventh season, which explains why roughly half of the film takes place during the "Christmas Past" sequence. Winkler was not about to put on the old man makeup any longer than he had to! ALSO! Have they ever done a "Christmas Carol" adaptation starring Dracula? Let's talk about that. Questions/Comments?

John Harbaugh's first team meeting as a New York Giant went viral for all the wrong reasons, but Covino & Rich think the internet is blaming the wrong side of the room. The guys break down the speech, the dead silence that followed, and why the most awkward speeches ever given still belong to Steve Buscemi and Chris Farley. Then Henry Winkler stops by Overpromised with a run of sports stories nobody expects from a guy who says he had no room in his brain for sports: the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar game-worn jersey he accidentally threw in the laundry, the ball Magic Johnson stole out of heaven, pitching for the Happy Days softball team, running into Tom Brady at an Italian restaurant, the Adam Sandler phone call that turned into The Waterboy, and the surprise Patrick Mahomes had waiting for him on the field at SoFi. Plus, Henry is still waiting on Mahomes to take him up on that dinner. The full uncut interview is on Patreon.com/CovinoAndRich, and Hazardous History Season 2 airs Sunday nights on The History Channel. #FSR #CRSHOW #OverpromisedSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're still looking at Happy Days spinoffs, because that's what the kids are excited about these days. There was Joanie Loves Chachi, of course, in which the two worst singers in the world dream of making it big. But does anyone else remember Out of the Blue, a sitcom about a guardian angel named Random? No, just us? Whatever. Then there were the Saturday morning cartoon spinoffs: Fonz and the Happy Days Gang (in which our heroes travel through time in a flying saucer), Laverne and Shirley in the Army (with their sergeant, an actual pig voiced by Horshack), and Mork and Mindy (but they're in high school and drive an egg car). We even touch on a few proposed spinoffs that never happened, starring Ralph and Potsie, those pesky Tuscadero girls... and the mysterious Kat Mandu.

Oscar-winning director Ron Howard tells host Ben Mankiewicz that he feared being “branded” a supernatural comedy director following the success of “Splash” and “Cocoon.” After tapping guidance from his “Happy Days” boss, Garry Marshall, and insight from Frank Capra's biography, Howard set forth to explore the medium of film in all its genres as a director. He tells Ben about being mesmerized by “Bonnie and Clyde” and “The Graduate” and learning how to work with stars when acting in “The Shootist” with John Wayne directed by Don Siegel. Ron Howard's Super 8 answers run the gamut from nods to “Project Hail Mary.” and “Eastern Promises,” to “One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest,” and “Blazing Saddles.” Films Mentioned: Night Shift Splash Cocoon Grand Theft Auto It Happened One Night Brian's Song Boys in the Band The Wild Bunch The Graduate Bonnie and Clyde White Heat The Shootist Charley Varrick Skyward Eden The Paper The Missing Backdraft Frontier Woman The Journey Around the World in 80 Days One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World Project Hail Mary Eastern Promises Unforgiven A Face in the Crowd Gone with the Wind Matilda High Noon Arrival Something About Mary Terms of Endearment As Good as it Gets Young Frankenstein Blazing Saddles Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us Fan MailS6 E137 Narcolepsy Treatment Is Changing: Orexin Drugs + Sleep StrategiesNarcolepsy treatment may be entering a new era. In this episode of Sleep Takeout, Dan and Michelle explore how new orexin-targeted medications could change the treatment of narcolepsy type 1 by addressing the underlying orexin, also called hypocretin, deficiency rather than managing each symptom separately.They explain what narcolepsy is, why it disrupts both daytime alertness and nighttime sleep, and how symptoms may include excessive daytime sleepiness, fragmented nighttime sleep, vivid dreams, hypnagogic or hypnopompic hallucinations, sleep paralysis, and cataplexy. Narcolepsy type 1 is associated with low orexin levels and includes cataplexy, while narcolepsy type 2 typically occurs without cataplexy.Dan and Michelle also discuss orexin receptor agonists, an emerging class of narcolepsy medications designed to restore orexin signaling in the brain's sleep-wake system. The episode highlights oveporexton, formerly TAK-861, an investigational oral orexin receptor 2 agonist being studied for narcolepsy type 1. Clinical trials have examined its effects on excessive daytime sleepiness, wakefulness, cataplexy, nighttime awakenings, and other symptoms.They also review earlier research involving danavorexton, formerly TAK-925, an intravenous orexin receptor 2 agonist studied for its wake-promoting effects in people with narcolepsy type 1 and narcolepsy type 2.Medication is only one part of narcolepsy management. This conversation also covers practical behavioral strategies that may help people manage symptoms and improve daily functioning, including:• Brief, strategically scheduled naps• A consistent bedtime and wake time• Reducing stimulation before bedtime• Cognitive behavioral therapy for narcolepsy• Responding differently to discouraging thoughts about symptoms• Avoiding heavy meals and large amounts of sugar when they worsen daytime alertness• Working with a sleep medicine specialist to develop an individualized treatment planWhether you live with narcolepsy, support someone who does, or want to understand the future of sleep medicine, this episode offers an accessible look at narcolepsy symptoms, orexin medications, cataplexy treatment, CBT, strategic naps, nutrition, and emerging research.Chapters00:00 Remote Recording and Behind-the-Scenes Banter00:19 The Future of Narcolepsy Treatment02:31 What Is Narcolepsy?03:26 Cataplexy, Sleep Paralysis and Hallucinations05:30 How Orexin-Targeted Drugs Work06:03 Oveporexton, TAK-861 and the Takeda Pipeline07:54 Behavioral Treatment for Narcolepsy08:30 Strategic Naps and a Consistent Sleep Schedule11:19 CBT for Narcolepsy and Managing Discouraging Thoughts12:41 Diet Tips for Daytime Alertness13:55 Key Takeaways and Final ThoughtsDisclaimerThis podcast is intended for educational purposes and is not a substitute for individualized medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

This week Mea Culpa welcomes the legendary actor, comedian, director, and producer Henry Winkler. Best known for his iconic turn as “The Fonze” on Happy Days and more recently for his Emmy-nominated role on the hit comedy “Barry”, playing beloved acting teacher Gene Cousineau. And before that, he was a staple on “Arrested Development”, “Hank Zipzer” and Winkler even appeared as himself on “Bojack Horseman”. All told, Winkler's accolades include a Primetime Emmy, two Daytime Emmys, two Golden Globes, and a Critics Choice Award. Not bad. He's a Yale “School of Drama” Grad and his acting career spans 6 decades. He has performed in both dramatic and comedic roles, in film television, and on stage. Though one might say he is the quintessential character actor. He's done several pictures with his buddy Adam Sandler including, “Little Nicky” and “Don't Mess with the Zohan” and has continued to collaborate with his “Happy Day”s cohort, Ron Howard. Journalist Michael Schneider said recently, that "the rumors are true," Winkler is "one of the nicest, most genuine men in all of Hollywood.” Michael and Henry Winkler talk about their family life, their careers, and of course politics.
