Podcasts about hoppers

This week on the Oakley Podcast, Jeremy Kellett sits with Michael and Leslie Hopper, a husband-and-wife team at Oakley Trucking, to share their late-career transition into trucking and eventual success as owner-operators. They walk through Michael's move from multi-unit management and daycare operations and Leslie's 31-year restaurant career into trucking in their late 40s, starting with carriers like Werner, Tyson, U.S. Xpress, and FedEx Custom Critical before buying their own trucks and ultimately landing at Oakley. The Hoppers explain how teaming works day vs. night, how they became a top revenue truck pulling an end dump, why they're now moving to pneumatics for longer miles and higher pay, and how trucking allowed them to buy a home, build retirement, and support a large blended family. Their key message: it's never too late to reinvent yourself, owner-operator trucking can be a powerful path to financial freedom, and companies like Oakley can make the leap from company driver to business owner much more achievable. Key topics in today's conversation include: Welcoming the Hoppers to the Show (0:42) Leslie's Restaurant Career and First Talk of Trucking (6:09) Michael's Corporate and Daycare Management Background (9:17) How They Met, First Date, and Long-Distance Relationship (13:18) Convincing Leslie to Change Careers and Go to Truck School (16:44) Training Together at U.S. Xpress and Becoming a Team (18:23) Why Teaming Works for Them, Day vs Night Driving, and Resets (23:44) Taking the Leap to Owner Operator and Early Panic With No Loads (26:35) Running FedEx Custom Critical and Department of Defense Freight (29:59) Leaving FedEx, Short Hazmat Stop, and Choosing Oakley (33:17) Deadheading, Emergency Loads, and Being a Top Revenue Truck (36:27) Leslie's Social Media, Oakley Community, and Dump Video Followers (41:01) Buying Their House on Five Acres And Building Late-Life Retirement (44:02) Moving From End Dump to Pneumatic and Chasing Higher Rates (47:32) Why It's Not Too Late to Start Trucking at 50 and Thrive (52:39) Oakley Trucking is a family-owned and operated trucking company headquartered in North Little Rock, Arkansas.

Man könnte meinen, dass eine Podcastfolge pro Woche ausreicht, um alle Filme zu besprechen die wir so auf dem Zettel haben. Denkste! Heute haben wir gleich 30 Filme auf Zettel geschrieben, sie auf ein Roulette-Tisch geklebt und dann die Kugel entscheiden lassen. Dumm nur, dass wir vergessen haben die Zettel wieder abzuhängen, wenn der Film schonmal besprochen wurde… Zum Glück ist Spontanität auf Platz 17 unserer größten Stärken und damit viel Spaß bei der Free-Talk Folge u.a. über semi-aktuelle Filme wie „Hoppers“ oder „The Bride“! Viel Spaß beim Reinhören!

This week on End Credits we get obsessed. Finally, about a month after the fact, we will dig into a verifiable summer sensation, that other low-budget horror from a YouTube trained filmmaker.You guessed it, we will be reviewing Obsession, which is still in theatres, and then we will look even further back at the long history of an animation powerhouse.  This Wednesday, June 17, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: Three Decades of Toy Story and Pixar. It was over 30 years ago that Pixar became a household name thanks to Toy Story, the first fully CG animated movie. The next Pixar movie, which is Toy Story 5, comes out this Friday, so to mark the occasion we will talk about the strange journey of the Toy Story franchise, the creative ups and downs of the studio over the last few years, and why you need to see Pixar's other 2026 hit, Hoppers, if you're an activist. REVIEW: Obsession (2026). It's the box office phenomenon of the summer, a horror movie morality tale about being careful what you wish for. Bear loves Nikki, but he's not so sure that he loves her back, so he foolishly one night makes a wish using a "magical" doodad called a One Wish Willow to make Nikki love him more than anyone else in the world. And that's where everything starts to go wrong. In its fourth week in theatres, Curry Barker's Obsession still sits pretty with audiences, but now our team will offer our two cents about the biggest movie of 2026! End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

This week it's just Steven and Devon holding down the fort while Ben is away, which means the conversation somehow manages to jump from guitar maintenance to Star Wars collectibles to post-apocalyptic murder mysteries without missing a beat. Real Life Devon spent part of the week giving some attention to an old Kelly-style guitar that had been fighting him for years. After wrestling with the floating tremolo system, he explains the joys and frustrations of guitar intonation and why getting everything properly adjusted can feel more like engineering than music. With the guitar finally behaving itself, he's been spending time learning Vivaldi's Summer, proving once again that classical music can be every bit as metal as heavy metal. Meanwhile, Steven returned from a Disney trip with a collection of souvenirs that may or may not require their own dedicated shelf. The haul includes a Spira gift card, a BB-series droid, a C-series droid head popcorn bucket, a Grand Holocron, a new Star Wars font hat, and nearly every Kyber crystal available. Unfortunately, despite collecting the entire rainbow, none of the elusive secret crystals made their way home. Such is the way of the Force. Future or Now Devon dives into Paradise on Hulu, starring Sterling K. Brown. What initially appears to be a political thriller quickly reveals itself to be something much stranger. Without spoiling too much, the series combines a whodunit mystery with a post-apocalyptic setting and some surprisingly deep character development. The show's vision of "The American Dream Underground" becomes one of the most fascinating aspects of the story, and Devon argues that the character work is what truly elevates the series above similar mystery shows. The conversation also briefly touches on Hoppers, now available on Disney+. The verdict? It's definitely strange. Whether that strangeness is good or bad may depend entirely on your tolerance for Pixar-style weirdness. There may also be connections to the Pixar Theory, but there simply isn't enough time to open that particular can of worms. Steven brings an interesting study examining the real-world effects of popular GLP-1 weight-loss medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound. Researchers analyzing Fitbit data discovered that while patients successfully lost weight after starting the medications, many also became less physically active. Daily step counts and exercise levels declined, raising concerns because these drugs can reduce muscle mass alongside fat loss. The findings highlight an important reminder: losing weight and maintaining physical fitness aren't necessarily the same thing, and preserving strength remains a critical part of long-term health. Links Paradise (IMDb): https://www.imdb.com/title/tt27444205 Weight-loss medication activity study: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/06/260614011841.htm   This episode covers everything from guitar maintenance and Disney loot to dystopian mysteries and the surprising relationship between weight loss and physical activity. Just another normal week on Science Faction.

Summer often exposes a quiet reality in many churches: some members begin shopping for a new congregation. In this episode, Josh and Sam address why this happens and how leaders should respond. If you've faced it, you are not alone. Every long-tenured pastor has. The post The Reality of Church Hoppers: A Pastor’s Honest Perspective appeared first on Church Answers.

Filmtätt i veckans podd då Niklas, Tove och Jonas håller låda. Det blir också en djupdykning i Summer Game Fest och ett lite udda speltips. Eftersom Summer Game Fest sändes förra veckan dyker vi rakt ned i en herrans massa spelnyheter: singelplayerspel, asiatiskt inspirerade spel och skräck var några teman. Andra spelnyheter: I det senaste Nintendo Direct visades Kingdom Hearts 4 samt en remake till Zeldaspelet The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Vidare pratar vi också mer om Nolans kommande storfilm The Odyssey, uppföljaren till The Social Network - The Social Reckoning, att Doctor Who tappar sin showrunner samt att Anthony Head har gått bort - kanske mest känd som Giles i Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I filmdelen har Niklas sett actionskräckfilmen They Will Kill You och pixars nya animerade film Hoppers. Tove å sin sida har sett Sacha Baron Cohens flippade rulle Ladies First. Slutligen har Jonas spelat Librarian: Tidy Up the Arcane Library, ett tillfredsställande slags sorteringsspel. Tack & Förlåt! Puss Hej!

Today we're breaking down every clue, every Easter egg, and every connection to discover how Hoppers fits into the Pixar Theory timeline. #pixar #Hoppers #SuperCarlinBrothers

Mit Sommer auf Asphalt steht ein deutscher Film im Fokus, der eine junge Fahrradkurierin begleitet, deren Leben durch eine ungeplante Schwangerschaft und die plötzliche Rückkehr ihres entfremdeten Vaters aus dem Gleichgewicht gerät. In den Hauptrollen spielen Mala Emde und Christoph Maria Herbst, Regie führte Simon Ostermann. Der Film verbindet persönliche Umbrüche, Familienkonflikte und die Suche nach dem eigenen Platz im Leben mit sommerlicher Leichtigkeit. [filmweltverleih.de], [filmstarts.de] Ganz anders funktioniert Scary Movie 6: Hier kehrt die Kultreihe mit Anna Faris, Regina Hall, Marlon Wayans und Shawn Wayans zurück. Regie führte Michael Tiddes. Laut offizieller Synopsis geraten die bekannten Figuren erneut ins Visier eines maskierten Killers, während der Film aktuelle Horrortrends, Reboots, Sequels und Franchise-Mechaniken durch den Kakao zieht. Wer Horror-Komödien, Slapstick und Meta-Witze mag, dürfte hier auf seine Kosten kommen. [scarymovie.film], [imdb.com], [de.wikipedia.org] Mit Extrawurst wird es deutsch, pointiert und gesellschaftlich relevant. Die Komödie von Marcus H. Rosenmüller basiert auf dem erfolgreichen Theaterstück und versammelt mit Hape Kerkeling, Christoph Maria Herbst, Fahri Yardim, Anja Knauer, Friedrich Mücke, Gaby Dohm und Milan Peschel ein starkes Ensemble. Ausgangspunkt ist eine scheinbar harmlose Abstimmung in einem Tennisverein über einen zweiten Grill für das einzige muslimische Vereinsmitglied. Daraus entwickelt sich eine turbulente Debatte über Vorurteile, Religion, Zugehörigkeit und gesellschaftliche Spannungen. Außerdem greifen wir Hoppers noch einmal auf, den wir bereits in Episode 904 besprochen haben und der inzwischen auf Disney+ verfügbar ist. Der Pixar-Film von Daniel Chong erzählt von Mabel, die mithilfe einer neuen Technologie ihr Bewusstsein in einen Roboterbiber überträgt, um mit Tieren zu kommunizieren und ihren Lebensraum zu schützen. Das Ergebnis ist ein familienfreundliches Animationsabenteuer mit Science-Fiction-Idee, Humor und Umwelt-Thematik. Wenn du dich für aktuelle Kinofilme, neue Streaming-Highlights, Filmkritiken, deutsche Komödien, Horror-Parodien und Pixar-Filme interessierst, solltest du in diese Podcast-Episode unbedingt reinhören. Diese Folge bietet Gesprächsstoff für alle, die wissen wollen, welche Filme aktuell wichtig sind, welche Stars dahinterstehen und was sich im Kino oder im Stream wirklich lohnt.

Pixar’s ‘Hoppers’ encourages viewers to be better stewards of the planet. But the messages (and the comedy) fall a little flat. Read the full review. If you've enjoyed listening to Plugged In Reviews, please give us your feedback.

  “Subscribe to free weekly news letter HUNGRY FRIDAY FEAST here”  I thought Karan would define success in the usual restaurant terms — reviews, covers, repeat customers. His answer went somewhere way more interesting.In this episode, I sit down with Karan Gokani to talk about how Hoppers became one of London's most iconic restaurants — and how it has stayed busy, relevant, and loved for over a decade in an industry where that feels almost impossible. Karan shares the principles behind that success: make it personal, find your purpose, build a culture of kindness, and create something that makes people feel more than they expected.ON THE MENU:00:00 Intro00:34 Opening Hoppers and refusing to dilute Sri Lankan food02:12 Growing from Soho to Marylebone and King's Cross05:37 The biggest misconception about scaling restaurants06:00 Culture, values, purpose and learning to codify instinct08:15 How Covid changed hospitality teams and restaurant culture09:01 Reading the room and spotting cultural red flags11:58 Karan's first business principle: make it personal15:35 How taking feedback personally improves hospitality20:52 Karan's second principle: find your purpose22:04 Saying yes to everything and discovering the common thread23:03 Why Karan's real purpose is inspiring people24:43 How writing, Instagram and restaurants all connect to purpose28:19 Asking why am I excited?31:15 Beyond Reviews: Karan's deeper definition of success31:52 How Karan thinks differently from other restaurateurs34:03 How to align a team around shared culture35:18 Service versus hospitality36:19 Building a culture of kindness38:59 Karan's definition of culture42:04 What Karan has radically changed his mind on45:35 Self-criticism, reinvention and never stepping in the same river twice49:39 Growing up in Mumbai and how it shaped Karan52:28 Why Karan came to the UK54:45 Cambridge, curiosity and the people who shaped him57:23 First principles thinking and mental models58:18 Applying first principles to Hoppers01:03:15 What problem are we really solving?01:07:55 The marketing levers that fill restaurants01:08:19 Why there is no perfect formula for restaurant success01:08:42 Food as language and the restaurant as conversation01:10:06 The soul of a restaurant and the importance of culture01:12:29 The creative insecurities Karan still wrestles with01:13:15 Competition, purpose and staying true to yourself01:14:32 Food as a gateway into culture01:15:19 Why Indian food is far more diverse than people realise01:17:14 Why South Indian food remains underrated01:18:28 The legacy of the British Indian curry house01:21:46 The anthropology and nostalgia of food01:27:48 Breaking down the dishes at the table01:31:33 Designing the architecture and atmosphere of each Hoppers01:35:45 Cooking as an expression of self01:36:43 The similarities between writing and cooking01:38:24 Why the JKS group has been so important to London restaurants01:40:32 Building the infrastructure behind creative hospitality01:42:27 Karan's favourite books and inspirations01:44:28 Closing thoughts and why there's more to talk about ============================================== ♨️Still bloody HUNGRY?

For this week's episode, host Daniel Raimi is joined by Lauren Dunlap, a project manager at the University of California, Los Angeles, Luskin Center for Innovation—and a former staff member at Resources for the Future. Dunlap describes exciting developments in electrification policy in California, where heat, pollution, and energy costs make the issue as topical as ever. A piece of legislation in California known as Senate Bill 1221 addresses the high financial costs of home electrification jointly with emissions reductions. The bill is novel, Dunlap notes, because it engages a cost-effective solution that directs savings from gas pipelines toward funding electrification. Implementation of the bill will involve efforts to support communities in navigating the unknowns of electrifying a home and aims to help mitigate issues at the intersection of climate change and energy infrastructure.
