Podcasts about Happy Go Lucky

Country Classics and ObscuritiesWe dust off forgotten gems and revisit timeless tunes from country music's rich history. Today, we're taking a spin through a mix of tracks, from legendary voices to lesser-known artists, all released on a variety of labels.We kick things off with the iconic George Jones and his track "Don't Think I Don't" on Musicor. You can always count on Possum for a classic country lament. Following that, we've got Lois Williams with "You Low Down Son Of A Gun" on Starday – a title that promises some feisty country storytelling! And from Columbia, it's Carl Smith telling us to "Pull My String And Wind Me Up."Shifting gears slightly, we find Tiny Cochart with "Turn Back The Years" on Sara, and a fantastic duet from Kitty Wells & Webb Pierce on Decca with "When I'm With You."Moving into our next set of tunes, we've got Eddie McDuff showing off his "Ace Card Up" on TNT, followed by Tony Douglas exploring loneliness on Paula with "Driven By Loneliness." Bill Wesley brings us "So Sure Of You" from the Great label, and the legendary Warren Smith offers up "Big City Ways" on Liberty. Rounding out this segment is Kenny Valeck with "Happy Go Lucky" on KSS.Our journey continues with a truly unique title from Johnny Bond: "Hot Rod Surfin Hootlebeatnanny" on Starday. You know we love a good novelty song here! Then, Bobby Austin reminds us that "Some Of Us Never Learn" on Capitol. We've also got Randy Wade with "Walk Out Backwards" on Busch Country, and Gene Allen revealing a "Secret Love Affair" on Tokalon. And for a truly evocative title, we have Cousin Bob Nicholson with "I Saw The Gold In The Moon Turn To Gray" on Music Mill.Finally, we wrap up with some more familiar names and powerful themes. The smooth voice of Eddy Arnold brings us "A Little Heartache" on RCA Victor. Carl Butler delivers a classic country sentiment with "I Know What It Means To Be Lonesome" on Columbia. Faron Young shares "Some Of Your Memories" on Mercury, and Bobby Barnett proclaims "There's Nothing Like A Woman" on Bannister. We close out our set with Charlie Gore and the poignant "All My Love Up And Died" on King. We hope you enjoyed this deep dive.

THE CORNETTO TRILOGY COMES TO A CLOSE!! The World's End Full Reaction Watch Along:   / thereelrejects   Visit https://www.liquidiv.com & use Promo Code: REJECTS to get 20% off your first order. With Tom Cruise starring opposite Simon Pegg in Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning, Greg & Aaron CONTINUE their Conetto Trilogy Marathon with The World's End Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, & Spoiler Review!! Join Greg Alba & Aaron Alexander as they return to director Edgar Wright's madcap sci-fi pub crawl The World's End (2013). Five childhood friends—self-described legend Gary King (Simon Pegg, Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz), steadfast Andy Knightley (Nick Frost, Shaun of the Dead), meticulous Oliver Chamberlain (Martin Freeman, The Hobbit, Sherlock), quick-witted Peter Page (Paddy Considine, Dead Man's Shoes), and ever-nervous Steven Prince (Eddie Marsan, Ray Donovan, Happy-Go-Lucky)—reunite in their hometown of Newton Haven to finish “The Golden Mile” pub crawl they failed to complete two decades earlier. What starts as nostalgic pints through the town's legendary watering holes—The First Post, The Famous Cock, The Trusty Servant—soon turns surreal when Gary realizes every local is a shapeshifting alien “Blank” intent on assimilation. Highlights include the kinetic “Hole in the Wall” bar brawl, the raucous “Planet Music” face-off in the town hall, and Gary's desperate, final stand atop The World's End pub—blasting Metallica and descending into glorious chaos. Along the way, Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl, Pride & Prejudice) appears as Gary's ex Sam Chamberlain, and Bill Nighy (Pirates of the Caribbean, Love Actually) pops up as the eccentric curator Basil, each adding sharp wit to the end-of-the-world stakes. Don't miss our deep dive into the film's blend of friendship drama, genre-bending action, and Edgar Wright's signature visual flair—plus our take on why The World's End remains one of the most quoted, memed, and highly-searched cult comedies of the 2010s!

Ring ring, onnellinen nainen liikenteessä! Sellainen on Mike Leigh'n elokuvan Happy go luckyn päähenkilö Poppy, salaviisas optimisti, joka ihastuttaa ja raivostuttaa. Mikä tekee Poppysta onnellisen ja voinko minäkin tulla sellaiseksi? Tätä pohditaan Jumikemuissa.

As Mike Leigh's five-decade career takes centre stage at the Paris Cinémathèque for a retrospective, the British filmmaker speaks to Eve Jackson about 50 years of making movies, from the raw intensity of "Naked" and the jubilant optimism of "Happy-Go-Lucky", to historical storytelling in "Peterloo" and "Mr Turner". With accolades like the Palme d'Or for "Secrets & Lies" at the Cannes Film festival and the Golden Lion for "Vera Drake" at Venice, at 82 Leigh continues to illuminate humanity's complexities with his latest film "Hard Truths".

This time, Ashley chooses HAPPY-GO-LUCKY and it's a Mike Leigh rematch! Long ago on Ep.8, Dave chose Leigh's NAKED (1993), which featured male characters so repellent that Ashley found the entire viewing experience to be extremely unpleasant.  Now six years later, we discuss a Mike Leigh film she adores, longtime favorite HAPPY-GO-LUCKY, a seemingly lighthearted comedy simmering with tension and darkness. Sally Hawkins gives a brilliant, compulsively watchable performance as Poppy, a cheerful, free-spirited schoolteacher whose big heart and impulsive nature lead her straight into a series of unsettling encounters that her unshakeable sense of humor may not able to deliver her from.  Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Podbean, and most other major platforms.

It's Thanksgiving week, which for many of us means eating too much turkey and pumpkin pie. For others, it means getting into arguments with your Gen Z cousin who, in a fit of righteous rage, calls you a settler colonialist and storms out of the dining room.  Whatever your holiday may bring, we here at Honestly wanted to bring you a drop of delight from none other than the most delightful man on planet Earth: David Sedaris.  Sedaris is a humorist and author of many best-selling books: Calypso, Theft by Finding, Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls, Me Talk Pretty One Day, Naked, Holidays on Ice, Barrel Fever. . . and most recently, Happy-Go-Lucky, which I had the privilege of talking to him about last December. It's probably my favorite episode of all time. What makes David's writing so unforgettable is his ability to find something meaningful and true in the utterly mundane; the way he finds humor in the most horrific moments in life; and his commitment to the lost art of making fun of ourselves.  So for today's episode, we are thrilled to have David here to read an essay he calls “Punching Down.” It is funny, it is frank, and fair warning, if you are a parent of small children, it might also be a little bit offensive. Happy Thanksgiving. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Hey everyone welcome to Episode 381 of The Outdoor Biz Podcast. The Iron Horse Bicycle Classic is hosting the 51st edition of this annual event Memorial Day weekend May 26, 27 and 28 2023! Today I'm talking with Event Director Ian Burnett. Brought to you by The Big Gear Show!  Facebook Twitter Instagram The Outdoor Biz Podcast Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share! Sign up for my Newsletter HERE. I'd love to hear your feedback about the show! You can contact me here: email: rick@theoutdoorbizpodcast.com or leave me a message on Speakpipe! Presented to by: Show Notes How'd you get into the outdoor life and more specifically, mountain biking? I was lucky enough to be born and raised here in Durango. so yeah, I was able to surround myself with bike racing and outdoors and getting to enjoy that. And that's kind of just what this community's all about is bike riding, but also just outdoor activities and really getting to be outside. So, I grew up doing that and, race mountain bikes all growing up and then ended up racing professionally on the road for a couple of years and then have, kind of slowly. gotten into coaching and, race support stuff. And, this will be my second year doing the directing for the Iron Horse. So, yeah, it's a pretty special race and then it's a pretty special thing that I get to do, for a living. You're the second generation to, to be affiliated with The Iron Horse. Do I have that right? It's kind of had a couple directors throughout the years. the longest-running being, Ed Zink and Gaige Sippy. Ed was the founder and had run it, for many, many years. And then Gaige did another 18-year stint. Then there was a couple of other single-year, couple-year people throughout there. This will be my fifth year being part of the organization and then, my second year doing the full director role. So for some of our listeners who might not know, tell us about the Iron Horse Classic. How it started, what it is, etc. It's our 51st year. The competition of it really started with two brothers, the Mayer brothers, one was a train engineer and the other one was a bike rider. And they bet each other candy bar on who could get to Silverton the quickest, Durango to Silverton. And, so they set that up one day, raced each other, and from there, Ed Zink, our founder, kind of was like, wait, that sounds like a pretty cool idea to, you know, race the train to Silverton every year. And Durango wasn't in the tourism world as much. It was definitely coming out of that mining era still. And so tourism and trying to find something to bring people to town was a big thing for Memorial Day weekend. And, so it's kind of grown from that. So we can't leave everybody hanging, that first one, who won the biker or the, or the train? The biker. He was very strategic in how he planned it and he pulled it off and, and he actually came back for the 50th last year and rode it. So what kind of people attend, obviously bicyclists, but I'm sure now it's kind of a full-on event, so I'm sure there are tourists as well right? Yeah, we bring in a ton of people. Our largest category is our tour stuff that's really going back to racing the train. All the people that race each other and do the race categories, you know, they race each other more than anything. And then the tour stuff is really the accomplishment of number one, getting to Silverton over two mountain passes, and then, if you can make it within the three and a half hours it takes the train to do it over those 50 miles. So, that, that's our bread and our butter and really what we've relied on and what is historic about this event. What are some of the other events? We really kind of, started to get back to try and embrace that festival atmosphere after Covid, which really put a dent in our festival side of it. We brought it back pretty quickly, just the race. But now that we kind of have that clear, vision, we're back to hosting more of that festival side. We're doing, a fun race for packet pickup, there's a bike parade that's part of a brewery. Friday night they launch a Face Pint Ale, which is an Iron Horse specific beer. So yeah, we just, we have kind of have our fingers in as much as we can to really give back to the community and support the people that support us. What kind of train was the original? Was it steam-powered or coal-fired? We're a coal-fired steam train here. They just converted them to some other, products so it's not so damaging to the environment. It's mainly our fire risk they've had. So they're running oil ones a lot, which are, they look the same as the steam. They're still a steam train. It's a state steam train. It's, really the big one for Durango. It's a narrow gauge steam train. So it's the only one the country still running that's on the narrow gauge. it was kind of standard way back when. That's kind of what really draws, The train enthusiasts on that side. What do you think has driven the growth over the years? Obviously the growth in mountain biking, but is there anything else? Becoming a tourist destination, is that really putting you on the map? Yeah, that's definitely a big part of it. And, you know, it's had some strong leadership. It's really helped keep it fresh. And just not being stuck, you know, here's the way we do it, and that's the only thing we do, and to be able to kind of have those other fun things. So I bet you've had some repeat attendees. What do you think keeps 'em coming back? I think a lot of it's just the community and the excitement of being able to come to Durango. We've started to really keep track of that. We've got two people that have done it 32 times, two people that have done it 29 times, and two people that have done it 28 times. There are some pretty diehard people out there, and I think it's just really, the community, the fun weekend. That achievement of being able to make the ride. Right. You know, if it's a beautiful day, it's a pretty special place to be on a Memorial Day weekend. Have you had some bad weather? Yeah, and this year was a big one, the weather's been on, on and off, but, we've had so much snow we've gotta watch out for avalanches or things like that. That's gonna be our big one really for both the train and the cyclists. The train I think is gonna do okay, but yeah, it is very much a possibility that they could have interruptions due to snow sliding Does planning the following year's event keep you busy the entire season? Once the race ends and everything's done, do you take it all down, or do you immediately kick back in for next year? We get pretty close. I'm trying to make it a little more that way. We've definitely relied on our community and our locals. I want to kind of branch out and kind of keep the word out about the event. You know, do more things like this and telling our story to the community through podcasts and other things. And just keep the excitement high What other outdoor activities do you participate in? We were lucky enough to have a lot of snow this year, so I got to get out and cross-country ski. Rafting, kind of just getting out to the southwest and be able to, you know, jump on the water, do those kinds of things. pretty open-ended. Do you have any suggestions or advice for folks wanting to get into the outdoor industry? Yeah, I think, a lot of it comes down to kind of what we were talking about of just like your inspiration and finding that clear vision of what you want your product or your, brand or event to be, and kind of what that represents, as an actual product and, and what people see the company as. And it's the ability to give back or support things or help innovate things. I think that's the biggest thing that we try to do, is just kind of, look at all those things and, and make it better and try to make the community of events and bike racing better. Continuous improvement. In all the years you've been doing this now, what do you think on the business side of it has been your biggest learning? What do you think's been the biggest eye-opener for you and the most things you had to learn to make it happen? Yeah. I mean the process is the process. Knowing your community and what its tolerances are. What they want so you're not at a negative with your community off the start. But I think the most I've learned is really just kind of what your marketing is and what your story is. So much of bike racing these days or events is getting people to come to them and really depends on you telling the story that. They should come because it's, it's a good story and a good feeling and a good, event. I think that that's the biggest thing I've learned is what story you're telling, what you want it to be. What's your favorite piece of outdoor gear under a hundred dollars? For cycling it's a lot of cycling computers have been the fun one. Really getting to explore new things. Having that accessibility to throw your computer on your bike and go explore a new route. Cuz you have that access now and you can wander, but you can also get to explore some new things that you've dug out through the maps and those things. I think that's some of the fun things. How about one of your favorite books? David Sedaris, that's kind of one of my, you know, big ones. Me and my wife read him quite a bit and he just came with a new book, so that's been kind of top of mind recently. Happy Go Lucky.  And really trying to just stay engaged with the cycling world too, in that same kind of footnote of magazines, you know, all the media. We have, a new media source that just came out through town, so yeah, it's a, it's an amazingly changing world. As we wrap up, is there anything else you'd like to say or ask of our listeners? Yeah, I think just, we're excited to be continuing on past the 50th and looking forward to just kind of having that continued growth and trying new things and offering, you know, the new newest things in bike racing, whether that's gravel or who knows what's gonna be next, you know, so it's a cool, changing world, and we like to change with it and kind of be a part of that. So, be excited to see anyone come out and enjoy the four corners for Memorial Day weekend. It's a beautiful place.

David Sedaris is our guest this week and next. Our conversation with him was so delightful and insightful that we could find no way to edit our conversation to just one podcast without leaving out too much of the “good stuff'. David is unique. He writes marvelous essays of observation about modern life drawing much of his material from audiences who come to listen to him read and with whom he spends considerable time interacting. He writes about serious family issues he's encountered with great humor. He writes about playing a Christmas elf at Macy's, and how can that fail to draw a chuckle? “Happy-Go-Lucky” is his latest collection of essays. But there are many. We loved everything of his we read. You will too. Books mentioned in this podcast: Happy-Go-Lucky by David Sedaris Calypso by David Sedaris Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris Carnival of Snackery: Diaries (2003-2020) by David Sedaris SantaLand Diaries by David Sedaris Theft by Finding: Diaries (1997-2002) by David Sedaris Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk by David Sedaris Naked by David Sedaris The Best of Me by David Sedaris Holidays on Ice by David Sedaris When You Are Engulfed in Flames by David Sedaris Barrel Fever by David Sedaris Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim by David Sedaris

Honestly, I really expected to call this episode “Covid Sedaris” because David Sedaris had just tested positive for COVID when we taped the interview. But when we spoke, he wasn't feeling it much at all. Had some symptoms that might have been allergies or COVID but were barely noticeable. Other people have it a lot worse, he says.David has been delighting audiences for 30 years now, ever since the broadcast of Santaland Diaries. His latest book, Happy-Go-Lucky, is deceptively titled, containing a lot of stories and memories that are pretty painful. David's father died last year at age 98 and liberated David to share some things he hasn't shared so openly before. He talks about how his father ridiculed him, belittled him, and just flat out didn't like him. He shares the story of being invited to give the commencement address at Princeton and bringing along his dad, who told the university president that they should have booked his sister Amy Sedaris instead.David also shares stories of his sister Tiffany, who died by suicide in 2013. He's caught heat over the years for writing and talking about how difficult it was for him to deal with her when she was at her most unstable. He also talks about the charges of abuse Tiffany made against David and their father before he died.There are still plenty of laughs in the interview because, come on, it's David Sedaris, but there's also pain and melancholy that you might not have heard from him before.Get your copy of David Sedaris' Happy-Go-Lucky wherever books are sold.Thank you to all our listeners who support the show as monthly members of Maximum Fun.Check out our I'm Glad You're Here and Depresh Mode merchandise at the brand new merch website MaxFunStore.com!Hey, remember, you're part of Depresh Mode and we want to hear what you want to hear about.

David Sedaris is a humorist and author of many best selling books: Calypso, Theft By Finding, Let's Explore Diabetes With Owls, Me Talk Pretty One Day, Naked, Holidays On Ice, Barrel Fever… just to name a few. He's also one of my favorite writers of all time.  What makes Sedaris – who got his start on NPR back in 1992 with his, now famous, Santaland Diaries essay about the time he worked as a Christmas Elf at Macy's – so mesmerizing and funny, is his ability to find something meaningful and true in the utterly mundane, the way he finds humor in the most horrific moments in life, and his commitment to the lost art of making fun of ourselves.  Nowhere is that more clear than in his newest book, Happy-Go-Lucky. Like most of his writing, it's a book about his beloved and crazy family. But it's also a book about some of the most contentious societal issues of the last few years. For the writer who so many think of as a public radio darling, the pages of Sedaris' new book are not like what you find on today's member stations. He writes about observing Black Lives Matter protests and COVID lockdowns with such candor – and without agenda or moral ideology – which results in something not only hilarious and relatable, as usual, but also extraordinarily refreshing.  So for today, if you find yourself tuning in from an overcrowded plane, a car full of bickering cousins, or maybe you miraculously get a quiet moment to yourself on a long and snowy walk, this is the perfect episode for you… and, hopefully, the perfect holiday escape.
