Speaker Johnson talks about the border. Senate Border bill cannot be trusted. US engages slap on Iran. U.S. hits Iran. Jake Sullivan is not looking for war with Iran. But Iran is looking at war with us. There's no end to this. These ‘hits' on Iran weren't much. This is everything you do when you actually don't want to respond. This is NOT a show of force. ....and Iran is "warning". Nikki Haley does SNL Grammy's last night. Music used to be better. Who should be able to sell canned cocktails? Hogsett stands with REI employees who want to unionize, and the socialist is happy. Maybe if the Indy potholes unionized, Hogsett would pay attention to them. Design protest signs at Indiana State Museum. 50 Cent is the Popcorn Moment 50 Cent: Maybe Trump IS the answer. Why is that? At the barber shop, Black men explain that Trump got them money and Biden has them broke. Trump January 6th trial delayed. Good. Speaker Johnson on the border. Senate Border Bill is 370 pages, and no one has read it all. “Response” to Iran was not of power. Border legislation is out, but no one has read it. The illegals who attacked a cop attacked a store owner....BEFORE attacking the cop. The CNN hosts who were stunned to learn that if you commit crimes in Florida, you go to jail, unlike New York. Gen Z thinks it has invented everything. No connection to history. Why do Tik Tokers always think they invented everything? Last night's performance of Tracy Chapman and Luke Combs duet of “Fast Car” for a special edition of Tony Katz Music Moments. Fill up on the News.

Phil Kenny ad Chris Wilhelm joins the podcast celebrating Wilhelm's 100 years in Business. The company started in 1923 and grew from modest beginnings. With an eighth-grade education, a deep passion for helping others, and a need to support a growing family, founder Francis A. Wilhelm built a porch for his neighbor. That first project laid the foundation that supports Wilhelm 10 decades later. Francis believed in hard work, innovation, and flexibility which remains in the fabric of Wilhelm's culture. Today, Wilhelm is the largest contractor in the State of Indiana and employs the largest construction labor force in the Midwest. To celebrate the 100th anniversary, Wilhelm is spotlighting legacy milestones of our clients and their projects which have had a tremendous impact in and around our communities. Additionally, celebrations are planned to honor and thank employees and their families. Through a community giveback campaign, Wilhelm will also provide financial support and in-kind donations to charitable organizations in the communities that impact our clients, our employees, the climate, and the neighborhoods we live and work. “100 years is a special accomplishment, my grandfather, F.A. Wilhelm had a saying that Hard work brings you luck. This hard work mentality has allowed Wilhelm to weather some tough times over the last 100 years.” stated Phil Kenney, F.A. Wilhelm's president. Wilhelm is known for their innovation in construction methods around concrete, masonry and modular construction as well as making sure their employees have all the tools and resources necessary to complete the work efficiently. Recent projects in the Wilhelm portfolio include Cummins DBU Indianapolis, J.W. Marriott Hotel, Indiana State Museum, IU Health Regional Academic Center in Bloomington, Four Winds Casino and Hotel in South Bend, the new Consolidated Courts Building at the Community Justice Center, the NCAA Headquarters, Republic Airways Corporate Campus, Sid and Lois Eskenazi Hospital, and the Zotec Partners Headquarters in Carmel. Clients include Catalent, Churchill Downs Inc., Citizens Energy Group, Eli Lilly & Company, Indianapolis Children's Museum Indiana University Health, Ingredion and UIndy. “We are honored and humbled to celebrate our 100th anniversary this year,” stated Chris Wilhelm, Executive Vice President. “It starts with the people who work for Wilhelm and the clients who entrust us to build their projects. Our clients are experts in their fields and drive us to be innovative and problem solvers.” See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Kgwhipple.com Katie (b. 1991) grew up in central Indiana. After graduating high school, Katie decided to forgo traditional college education and move to New York City to study academic painting at the Grand Central Atelier. She has since been the recipient of many awards, including scholarships from Grand Central Atelier, Art Renewal Center, and a purchase award from the Indiana State Museum for their permanent collection. Most notably, Katie was the recipient of the 2013-2014 Alma Schapiro Prize. The Alma Schapiro Prize sent her to the American Academy in Rome for three months to study the work of the old masters. Katie extended her stay in Italy, journeying from Rome to Florence and Naples studying antiquity and the Renaissance intensively for eight months. The months in Italy changed Katie's life. She went to Italy to continue her studies of the figure, but after seeing the ancient Roman wall painting The Painted Garden from the Villa Liva, Katie began painting flowers. It was a shift in her work Katie never saw coming. She feels the flowers chose her, much more than she chose them, and is gladly devoted to capturing their ephemeral beauty. Although florals are generally categorized as ‘still life', Katie doesn't feel that is an accurate description of her paintings. Katie's flowers are alive, and it is the living sprit of Nature that she strives to capture in her work. Katie lives in Southampton, NY with her husband, artist Brendan Johnston, their son Hewitt, and their dog Theo. She works full time painting flowers, and teaches workshops around the country.

The Day I Forgave Santa and Ended Our Feud It was three years ago, but the memory is clear. In fact, every single moment of that day is seared deep into my heart. It's just not the kind of thing you forget. It was the afternoon of Friday, December 22, 2017, and I was doing my show in the WIBC studio with Terri Stacy, one of my very favorite people in the whole world and a total sweetheart to boot! I should have been having the time of my life. After all, it was almost Christmas, and I had decided that we were definitely not talking politics that day. I said to Terri, "Let's just goof around and have fun for a couple of hours; make it one big party!" "Great!" Terri said. "I'll make some calls and see if I can get us some really big-name celebrity as a surprise guest. Who do you want?" "You pick," I replied. "Get whoever you want." So who does she book? Santa Claus... The big jerk. Understand, it's not that I necessarily had anything personal against Santa Claus. It's just that I thought he talked a big game when in reality he was completely and utterly full of crap. I didn't always feel that way, of course. As a kid, I loved going downtown to L.S. Ayres to ride on the train, make cookies, and sit on Santa's lap as I listed off my Christmas demands. It was great! Then one Christmas morning I woke up and discovered that Santa had "stiffed" me that year. My brothers got everything they wanted, but not me. Oh, I got plenty of gifts alright, but not the thing I wanted most. I was furious by the time we opened the last gift. And get this: he still had the nerve to help himself to the cookies and milk I left out on Christmas Eve. What a freeloader. Still though, I didn't want my feud with Santa to ruin my daughter's relationship with him. So, like a good and dutiful father, I took Sarah to see him at the Indiana State Museum. She had a great time, and when it was her turn to talk to Santa, I did my best to avoid eye contact. Now I was about to come face-to-face with the guy, but at least it was on my turf. I was tempted to tear into him the moment he entered the studio, but I decided to be a gentleman about it and pretend to be nice even though I was seething inside. The interview started out fine. Everyone was nice and pleasant and after a while, I actually loosened up and started to enjoy myself a little bit. Then it happened. The minute I let my guard down, Santa started egging me on and getting all pushy with a bunch of personal questions that were none of his darn business. I tried to be patient. I tried to be nice. I tried to control my temper. But he couldn't let it go. He just kept pushing and pushing until finally, I decided to give him a piece of my mind and dear old Santa Claus know EXACTLY what I thought of him. This is the full recording of what happened that fateful day... See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
With percussion instruments that included a makeshift washboard and a stage routine punctuated by comic banter between their musical numbers, they were nationally known entertainers from the 1920s through the mid-1940s. The Hoosier Hot Shots were regulars on National Barn Dance, one of the most popular radio shows in the country, broadcast on WLS-AM in Chicago. They were featured as a novelty act in Western movies starring Gene Autry and slapstick comedies with the Three Stooges. They were headliners in vaudeville venues and recorded much of their music at Gennett Studios in Richmond, Ind., which launched the recording careers of many American jazz, blues, country and gospel stars during the era. The three primary members of the Hot Shots band were Otto "Gabe" Ward, who was born in Knightstown and grew up in Elwood, and two brothers, Ken and Paul "Hezzie" Trietsch, who hailed from the small town of Arcadia in Hamilton County. The Indiana State Museum periodically has exhibited Gabe Ward's clarinet and Hezzie's unusual washboard instrument, which he made by hand; the exhibits also have included vintage posters for some of their 21 movies. In this encore broadcast of a show from 2018, we turn our spotlight on the colorful and quirky Hoosier Hot Shots. Nelson is joined in studio by Todd Gould, a senior producer/director at WTIU-TV in Bloomington and a broadcasting instructor at Indiana University. In working with his WTIU colleagues on a documentary about Gennett, where emerging stars like Hoagy Carmichael, Louis Armstrong and Jelly Roll Morton recorded, Todd researched the Hot Shots. (Hoosier History Live explored the impact of the recording history made at Gennett Studios on a show in 2013.) In an article about the Hoosier Hot Shots in the Fall 2018 issue of Traces, the Indiana Historical Society's magazine, Todd wrote: "During two of the most tumultuous times in our nation's history, the Great Depression and World War II, Americans found comfort in the silly songs and crazy antics of a band from the flatlands of central Indiana ... Their sound and lyrics were unlike anything Americans in the early 20th century had ever heard before." A sample lyric from a Hot Shots song: From the Indies to the Andes in his undies And he never took a shave except on Mondays He didn't eat a thing but chocolate sundaes 'Twas a very, very daring thing to do. In addition to Todd Gould, Nelson is joined in studio by Hamilton County historian David Heighway, who has researched the deep roots of the Trietsch family in the county. Ken Trietsch (rhymes with "beach") played the guitar and banjo while Hezzie played the washboard - as well as cowbells, horns, pie tins and, as Todd put it in his Traces article, "other assorted gear that looked more at home in a farmhouse kitchen than on a stage." Periodically during our show, we feature brief excerpts of the Hoosier Hot Shots' recordings to give listeners a flavor of their distinctive routines. Their signature line was a question - "Are you ready, Hezzie?" - posed by Ken Trietsch to his jokester brother just as the Hot Shots were about to kick off a routine. Ken (1903-1987) and Hezzie (1905-1980) Trietsch came from a musical family in Hamilton County of five sons, all of whom played multiple instruments. They met Gabe Ward (1904-1992) in the 1920s when all of them became members of the Rube Band, a vaudeville troupe known for playing "wildly extemporaneous, comical versions of the day's popular songs," according to Todd's article in Traces. After the Rube Band dissolved, the three Hoosiers eventually started performing on radio with the Hot Shots name. Major success followed on National Barn Dance, which also launched the careers of Gene Autry, Patti Page and other entertainers. By the mid-1930s, the Hoosier Hot Shots had added a fourth member, Illinois native Frank Kettering, who played the bass fiddle, organ, piccolo and other instruments. Among the quartet's most popular songs was Whistlin' Joe from Kokomo. According to Todd's article, the song was one of several Hot Shots' tunes featuring the names of Indiana towns. During World War II, the Hoosier Hot Shots joined USO tours of North Africa and Italy. (Kettering, though, was drafted. He was replaced by a series of musicians who also weren't from Indiana.) The band's popularity waned by the early 1960s.

Substance abuse disorder is something that people don't always discuss, and what you don't know, is where you can go awry. On today’s episode of The Addicted Mind Podcast, Duane talks to Cathy Ferree, the CEO of the Indiana State Museum, about their exhibit called FIX: Heartbreak and Hope Inside Our Opioid Crisis. It's an amazing exhibit that really delves into the opioid crisis from a human perspective. It’s a story that creates compassion and understanding all at the same time. Cathy wants to change the narrative about opioid addiction, mental health in general, and to really take away that stigma. Having been raised to be very cognizant of people and their feelings, and how much people try to live behind things rather than in front of them, Cathy took charge in finding a role that a museum could play in helping with this crisis. Museums are a place where people trust to give you information and put things in context for you. And it's great to be able to put this into a museum and have an exhibit that really talks about it in a reliable way. There are two things that really stand out to me here – the interactive part, which is the knowledge part, and also the extreme compassion for someone who is struggling with addiction because it can be very hard for people who have not struggled with addiction to really understand it. Hopefully, this helps shift the community outlook on addiction to one of recovery, one of hope, and to a possibility of change. *In this episode, you will hear:* * How the exhibit came to be and why * Why they partnered with the recovery community * Some hurdles they had to overcome * 3 things they want visitors to walk away with * The goal to have multiple entry points for a better understanding * How they were able to put all the creativity together *Key Quotes:* [05:33] - “People trust museums. We give you information, we ask you to ask questions, we put things in context for you.” [05:55] - “Substance abuse disorder is something that people don't always discuss. And what we know is what you don't know, is where you can go awry.” [13:00] - “It's not a linear experience, you could start with the science, and understand that this is a disease.” [16:25] - "Opioid has an ability to take hold of your brain in a way no other drug does." [17:10] - "We want people to really better understand so they can then be more compassionate and have an opportunity to really contribute to the benefit of someone they know that may be suffering or in a difficult situation, rather than making it worse." [20:33] - "This is a disease that people are struggling with, and you can help them. This is a disease that you could be struggling with. And we hope this helps you." [25:06] "At the end of the day, people will help one another. So please look for help, because there is always help somewhere." *Subscribe and Review* Have you subscribed to our podcast?
