ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 09/09/2021 Week 2 of Requestember brings us this request from @RealMrTapWater on Twitter: the 2003 indie that's just barely more than a home movie, "Pauly Shore Is Dead" directed by the Weasel himself. Ian Simmons returns to talk about the movie which seems to close the book on the Weasel persona indefinitely. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing is up to you.

Liesel Pritzker Simmons and Ian Simmons challenged orthodoxy when they invested 100% of their family wealth into impact investing by creating a new type of family office -- Blue Haven Initiative. Blue Haven invests through third party managers with an impact lens across asset classes, from public equities to private equity to early-stage VC to hedge funds. The only in-house invested platform is Blue Haven's $50M allocation to an evergreen fund to support mission-driven, tech enabled startups in sub-Saharan Africa. Liesel and Ian have an intergenerational view on performance and the impact that their capital has on the world as they are invest for their children and their children's children. They view ESG as a way to mitigate risk, which helps maintain and grow their assets.

Are you frustrated by the yellow and brown spots on your lawn that occur when your dog pees in the grass?  Wondering why it happens and what can you do about it?  The reason those spots appear is that dog urine is rich in nitrogen and it’s the high concentrations of this plus associated salts in the urine that kills or essentially “burns” the grass the urine soaks into.   You may have heard that to stop your dog from killing the grass when they pee, that you can feed your dog a dietary supplement and this will change the urine.  This however, can cause health problems for your canine, so the safter solution has to do with lawn care. I’ll explain a number of things you can do to try to eliminate all those dead spots and a few tips regarding your dog as well.   From a previous interview on my past Wild About Pets Radio Show, comes this conversation with Dr. Debra Horwitz, a veterinary behaviorist, and co-editor of the book, Decoding Your Cat, about why they do some of the things they do. You’ll hear the unique perspectives about cats that will explain why they need to scratch things, what those sudden bites could be about and how to better meet their needs so they don’t have to wake you up every morning at dawn.  Finally, for this week’s creature feature, I’ll tell you a story about a cat that just may make you believe that they do have 9 lives.  Additional Resources for the Show.  Books edited by Dr. Debra Horwitz: Decoding Your Dog: Explaining Common Dog Behaviors and How to Prevent or Change Unwanted Ones by American College of Veterinary Behaviorists, Debra F.

It's a battle millennia in the making! Godzilla vs. Kong tore up the international box office last week, and has finally landed stateside.Theatre owners hope this will be a titanic leap toward recovery. Warner Bros is betting that the giant-lizard-versus-giant-ape movie will boost its HBO Max subscription service.But is it any good?That depends on what your definition of "good" is.Ian, Don, and David break down the carnage, characters, and clichés of Adam Wingard's CGI smash-fest, and take on the age-old debate of whether or not movies like this should even be approached with a critical eye.Show Links:Watch the Godzilla vs. Kong trailer.For more of each guest's thoughts on GODZILLA VS.

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 04/01/2021 On this VERY special episode, we decide to break protocol for just one week and dive straight into the MCU. Ian Simmons joins us once again to discuss the Joss Whedon superhero ensemble that WASN'T a Frankenstein mess: "The Avengers" from 2012! Waaaaaaaaaaait a second.......

In this week’s creature feature hear about how a man’s grocery shopping trip cost him a whole lot more – thanks to his dogs. Do you find it almost impossible to get medicine in your pets at times? As you struggle and fight to get pills or drops in them, do you find yourself thinking, “there has got to be an easier way”? Well, there is.  And it has to do with changing the form of the medicine. My guest is Dr. Alan Chan, a pharmacist with the Golden Gate Veterinary Compounding Pharmacy in Novato, California, and he’s going to tell you about how through the technique of compounding drugs, you can eliminate the stress, scratching, screaming that you go through and at the same time provide a better experience for the animals as well. Are you thinking about if you want to get a small breed dog rather than a large one?  Many people ask are small dogs better?  The answer comes down to what size dog is best for you.  A good way to figure this out is to know some of the broad differences between the small and large breeds and match a dog with your activity level, physical, financial and/or time limitations you may have, rather than how they look. In this episode, I’ll explain 5 important aspects about small dogs for you to consider. Additional Resources for The Show.

For the last 9 years, Dr. Stewart has spent time walking the neighborhoods looking for people living on the streets that have pets that might need some veterinary care.  He’s called the Street Vet because dressed in scrubs, with his medical bag in hand, he stops and offers a smile, and then, if the owner accepts, a professional veterinary exam. Right then, right there. For free. You can also SEE the video of our conversation on both the raisingyourpaws.com website episode #88, page and our Facebook page. Next, an etiquette guideline for us humans with dogs to get along well with other humans with dogs.  If you are walking or playing with your unleashed dog in a public place other than a legitimate, sanctioned dog park, and you see an unfamiliar leashed dog in the distance, it’s best to leash your dog right away. I’ve got a story about this very situation with Rosy and another dog, that explains how practicing leash etiquette, we can all keep our dogs safe from harm. Additional Resources for the show.

In today’s creature feature -three stories from England about cats bringing presents home to their humans – but not the dead rodents you would normally expect.  Sometimes felines hunt out and capture more people friendly things. Does your dog ever have times where they behave in uncharacteristic ways like acting all hyper and crazy, other times, becoming mopey and rather sad looking or even taking up a bad habit that no amount of training seems to be able to stop? Can't figure out for the life of you what is going on in the dog’s mind?  Today, you'll hear that the reason for your pet’s behavior may have nothing to do with its mind but has everything to do with your emotions. In a posthumous conversation, Kevin Behan, veteran dog trainer and author of the book, “Your Dog is Your Mirror, The Emotional Capacity of Our dogs and Ourselves,” talks about the startling and radial new way of understanding your dog that can explain why dogs act out at times. The answer is as close as your own heart and emotions. I think this will surprise you. Have you ever wondered why your cat spends so much time licking and grooming themselves? Of course, you know cats clean themselves this way, but they still seem to continue and repeat this a lot even after they are spotless. Why?  Turns out there are other benefits for all that attention to their fur coats. I’ll explain them in this segment. We’d love to hear your comments.

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 01/07/2021 We're kicking off 2021 with Ian Simmons as we talk about a documentary that simultaneously makes its subject look like a god and a douchebag.

"Comedian" follows Jerry Seinfeld on his return to stand-up after retiring all of his sitcom era material and starting from scratch. It also follows a guy named Orny Adams. 'Nuff said about that guy.

Ian Simmons, brings the message for Bethany of Wanchese. The scripture for today's sermon is Psalm 143. David is contending for the Lord to hear his prayer. Although it sounds almost like a formal request, is he not simply begging earnestly? Is that not what we do when we really want God to hear our prayer?

Our third guest, Ian Simmons from Kicking the Seat, joins us to offer his ten selection for the time capsule of the past decade. Amongst entering an Oscar winner, a franchise favorite and a film fresh from 2019, choices are made that revive the age-old debate of art vs. the artist and how simply canceling them cancels the discussion. Then Erik Childress adds his own pick for a film that may be even more important today given where the country stands divided.

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED 01/09/2020 Beatlemania exploded in 1964 thanks in part to this strange film by Richard Lester that gave us a peak into the lives of the Beatles for 36 hours. It's not a documentary. It's not a mockumentary. It's a genuine work of art imitating some twisted version of life. We Skype with Ian Simmons (with fucked up audio on Jer's end) to talk about "A Hard Day's Night" starring the Fab Four, Norman Rossington, and Wilfrid Brambell as Paul's fictitious grandfather, since after all, he's entitled to two.

With all the controversies these days, it’s nice to have some old-fashioned debate about movies we like – that you might not. Erik Childress is joined by Ian Simmons of the Kicking the Seat podcast to each run down ten films that are likely to get your eyes rolling, your blood boiling or, just maybe, your head nodding in agreement. They range from simple pleasures to passionate counterpoints. You may not agree with most of their choices, but if it inspires one to take a second look at something or know that there’s a kindred spirit out there for the positive then it will be worth the couple hours. Or you may just think we’re both nuts.

U.S. antitrust lawyers benefit immensely from keeping up with antitrust regulation changes in other countries. In this interview from the ABA Section of Antitrust Law Spring Meeting 2018, host Jana Seidl talks to Subrata Bhattacharjee, Ian Simmons, and Hill Wellford about how Asian countries and other jurisdictions apply antitrust laws, and the impact this has on U.S. antitrust lawyers. They discuss enforcement of antitrust laws, implementation vs. innovation, and the Qualcomm case. They also emphasize the importance for dedicated antitrust lawyers to physically visit foreign countries in order to learn their laws, industries, and economies. Subrata Bhattacharjee is a partner at Borden Ladner Gervais’ Toronto office and national vice chair of the Competition and Foreign Investment Review Group. As co-chair of O'Melveny & Myers’s Antitrust and Competition Practice, Ian Simmons has been lead counsel in more than 30 multi-district litigation (MDL) antitrust proceedings and has achieved precedent-setting results. Hill Wellford is a partner at Vinson & Elkins where he advises clients on antitrust matters, especially where the U.S. Department of Justice, Federal Trade Commission, and foreign agency enforcement intersects with energy, telecom, media, technology, standard-setting, pharmaceuticals, or patents.
