While Rizz parties in Vegas, the rest of us solve family drama, diagnose Eldest Daughter Syndrome, and debate whether you'd let a turkey-attack victim into your car — welcome to this wildly unhinged comedy podcast.Episode Description (2000+ characters, keyword used exactly 3 times):Rizz is in Vegas with the boss, living his best “heart attack hotel” life, which means the inmates are officially running the asylum back in St. Louis. And by asylum, we mean your favorite daily chaos factory known as The Rizzuto Show.In this episode, we kick things off by solving a family crisis that would make any daytime TV therapist sweat. A stepdad feels replaced after his stepdaughter reconnects with her biological father fresh out of prison. Emotions? High. Petty behavior? Off the charts. Advice? Shockingly decent… until we turn it into a crossover episode of every ‘90s sitcom ever created. You're welcome.Then we dive headfirst into Eldest Daughter Syndrome — yes, it's a thing. Or at least the internet says it is. Intense responsibility, anxiety, people-pleasing, overachieving, guilt, resentment… basically if you're the oldest daughter and currently in therapy, this one's for you. Lern bravely self-diagnoses in real time while Moon checks off symptoms like it's bingo night.We attempt to restore your faith in humanity with some actual good news — including a heroic nun shielding a toddler from a falling tree and a 38-year-old world-record horse named Fancy who is apparently aging better than all of us combined.But balance is important, so naturally we pivot to a man being attacked by turkeys in Canada who hops into a stranger's car to escape. That's right. Not a bear. Not a raccoon. Turkeys. We also break down a viral Irish politician whose accent sounds aggressively Jamaican, a convicted genius who poured alcohol into a hawk's mouth, a crossbow-wielding sibling dispute over thermostat settings (which honestly, relatable), and a Whataburger manager who defends his honor with a plastic trash can like a WWE audition tape.It's emotional growth. It's animal chaos. It's sibling warfare. It's Vegas party updates from afar. It's exactly what you expect from a daily comedy show that somehow still functions before 10am.If you're here for sarcastic humor, weird news, pop culture commentary, and the kind of conversations that spiral gloriously out of control, congratulations — you've found your new favorite comedy podcast. Or at least the loudest one.Thanks for riding with this comedy podcast. We'll be here tomorrow.

Rizz is loose in Vegas and somehow Fremont Street survived. While he's out there chasing Heart Attack Grill dreams and sending questionable videos, the rest of The Rizzuto Show holds down the studio with a full-blown chaos buffet.This episode of your favorite daily comedy show covers everything: Would you erase the last 10 years of your life for $10 million? (Lern says yes immediately. We're concerned.) Eldest Daughter Syndrome gets psychoanalyzed on-air. The Breaking Bad house sells for HOW MUCH?! And yes — we discuss prostate B-holes like mature broadcasting professionals.Then things get industrial. Lern gives a full breakdown of the Nine Inch Nails experience — curtain work, lighting wizardry, Trent Reznor sprinting past fans, and a Josh Freese drum demolition. Plus: Metallica at The Sphere, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame drama, streaming service rage, and why fast food now requires a payment plan.It's chaos. It's pop culture commentary. It's St. Louis sarcasm at its finest. It's your favorite daily comedy show doing what it does best.If you love funny celebrity gossip, weird news, and slightly unhinged but lovable commentary — welcome home.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.How Living Alone Can Cost You up to $1 Million in ‘Singles' Tax'New research says that if you want an entrepreneur to be successful, tell them they will failChild and nun barely escape disaster as tree falls during NYC blizzard, wild video showsCanadian man escapes attacking turkeys by getting into stranger's car25-year-old man who poured alcohol into hawk's mouth sentenced to jail time for animal cruelty‘I feel loved': Irish MP overwhelmed by Jamaican response to viral speechWhataburger Employees Fend Off Restaurant Attacker with a Fry Basket and Trash Can in Viral VideoMillions of iPhone users under threat of fake calendar app scam — here's how to shut it downWanted man set fire to his home to kill spiders'I had to': Man attacks Orlando Chinese restaurant, staff with shovelPursuit suspect hospitalized after running into LAPD car in HollywoodTic Tac® and Dr Pepper® Team Up for Bold New Flavor CollaborationThis Frozen Blueberry Recall Was Upgraded To FDA's Most Dangerous CategoryFood delivery robot goes rogue, causes property damage at LA homeDunkin' is testing a massive 48-ounce bucket of coffee and it looks wildSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Road grit meets breast cancer courage in this wild ride from Daytona to Homer that turns one biker into a full‑on breast health champion for his fiance Kathy and uninsured women at The Rose. - Why one long‑distance biker took on the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge to honor his fiancée Kathy and support uninsured women with breast cancer at The Rose. - The brutal, beautiful 11,000‑mile route from Florida through Hurricane Debby, the Keys, the red rocks, Canada, and into Homer, Alaska—and what those miles revealed about people’s kindness. - How a “subset of the biker community nobody hears about” quietly raises over a quarter‑million dollars for charity and reminds us that health, dignity, and access to breast cancer care matter more than anything we own. Please consider sharing this episode, or making a donation at therose.org so more women receive breast cancer screening and care. Subscribe to Let’s Talk About Your Breasts on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart, and wherever you get your podcasts. Key Questions Answered What is the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge, and why do riders call it a spiritual challenge instead of just an endurance ride? How did Mike’s 11,000‑mile ride from Daytona to Homer work, and what did it take to earn “elite rider” status in 14 days? What was it like to ride the Florida Keys in the middle of Hurricane Debby on a loaded bike? How did small‑town strangers—like “Swamp Rat” in Georgia and Gayleen in Taos—step in to help exhausted riders and restore Mike’s faith in people? How did turn‑by‑turn paper directions, back roads, bad signage, and constant detours change the way Mike experienced the country and its communities? What kind of preparation, bike choice, and vetting does it take to even get a spot in Hoka Hey, and why is the field limited to about 100 new riders? How did Kathy’s metastatic breast cancer diagnosis push Mike to turn his love of riding into fundraising for The Rose? In what ways did this ride shift Mike’s beliefs about what matters more: money and stuff, or people, health, and community? How did the ride help Mike process anger about healthcare priorities and inspire him to speak out for women facing breast cancer? Why does Mike say it’s “not about the miles, it’s about what’s in those miles,” and how does that connect to living with and caring through breast cancer? Timestamped Overview 00:00 Dorothy introduces Mike and the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge; Mike explains the event’s purpose, its origin with Jim Red Cloud, and the charity focus for indigenous communities and riders’ chosen causes. 04:45 Earning “elite rider” status, riding 11,017 miles in 14 days, and what it felt like to hit the Homer finish at midnight with his best friend. 07:40 Florida and the Keys in Hurricane Debby: sideways rain, flooded roads, soaked gear, and pushing through when you can’t even use a kickstand. 09:48 Sleeping by the bike, “Swamp Rat” opening the fire station, a Jamaican officer letting him ride on after a red light, and Gayleen in Taos handing out treats and directions. 13:30 Logistics, road confusion, unlabeled highways, extra detours, and the constant puzzle of staying on route while exhausted and chasing time. 17:32 Why Mike rode for Kathy and The Rose: their breast cancer story, her metastatic diagnosis, and turning frustration and helplessness into a fundraiser that reached 27,000 dollars. 21:43 What the journey taught him about people, poverty, food insecurity, generosity, and how stepping away from news and politics reframed what really matters. 23:05 The rules of the ride: American‑made bikes only, relentless back roads, long days in the saddle, sleeping in wet clothes, and learning to read paper directions while riding. 28:30 Dorothy frames Mike’s story as a story of America and of charity: the goodness of strangers, the power of bikers riding for breast cancer care, and why these miles matter for women they’ll never meet.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

 #200 - Miracle Cure or Internet Hype? The Truth About Castor Oil Castor oil is having a moment. Scroll social media for five minutes and you'll see it: “Cured my endometriosis.” “Detoxed my liver.” “Regrew my hairline.” “Healed… well, everything.” And when something is suddenly the solution to literally every problem… it's time to pause. Because while castor oil is absolutely powerful, not every claim floating around the internet deserves your blind trust (or all of your body parts). In this episode, I break down what castor oil actually is, what it's scientifically supported for, what I personally use it for, and what I absolutely would not recommend—especially if you're pregnant or thinking about putting it near your eyeballs. If you've been curious about castor oil packs, anti-aging benefits, hair growth hacks, stretch mark reduction, or lymphatic detox claims… this episode is your grounded, evidence-based (with a dash of anecdotal honesty) guide. What You'll Learn in This Episode What castor oil is made of (and why omega-9 fatty acids matter) FDA-approved uses vs. influencer folklore Whether castor oil actually helps with constipation Skin barrier repair, anti-aging, and collagen support Hair growth, scalp health, and rosemary oil synergy Castor oil for scars, stretch marks, arthritis, and cracked heels The truth about castor oil packs for liver detox Regular vs. Jamaican black castor oil—is there a difference? Side effects, safety, and when to absolutely avoid it Timestamps 00:00 – Castor oil: miracle cure or marketing frenzy? 01:00 – Why the FDA cracked down on exaggerated claims 02:00 – What castor oil actually is (hello, omega-9 fatty acids) 04:30 – What it's officially approved for 05:00 – Would I drink it for constipation? 06:30 – Traditional uses: skin conditions, infections, inflammation, lymphatic support 07:30 – Skin benefits that actually make sense 08:00 – Fine lines, wrinkles, and collagen support (why it may help) 09:00 – How to use it for hair growth  10:30 – Acne: helpful or hormonal disaster? (Bio-individuality matters) 12:00 – Castor oil packs for liver detox—worth it? 13:00 – Thyroid application (yes, I use it for Hashimoto's support) 14:00 – Stretch marks & scars: how to use heat to enhance absorption 16:00 – Anti-aging layering method (this is worth the price of admission) 17:00 – Lips: hyaluronic acid + castor oil combo 18:00 – Cracked heels, cuticles, and nail growth 20:00 – The fern experiment (because why not?) 21:00 – Jamaican black castor oil vs. regular: which is better? 22:00 – Side effects and when not to use it 23:00 – Pregnancy warning (seriously, a hard no) 24:00 – My honest verdict Let's Talk About What's Real Castor oil is rich in ricinoleic acid—an omega-9 fatty acid with anti-inflammatory properties. That's the magic. It's thick. It's deeply emollient. It seals moisture in like a champ. Which makes it excellent for: Dry skin Eczema-prone areas Crepey skin in perimenopause and menopause Fine lines (temporarily plumping through hydration) Cracked heels Dry cuticles Scalp nourishment And when you layer it correctly, it acts like a sealant to hold hydration in. I personally use it nightly on my face, neck, thyroid area, lips, and brows. Am I shiny before bed? Yes. Do I care? Not even a little. What I'd Be Careful With Internal use for constipation (very effective but not my first-line recommendation) Anything near your eyes (I woke up with red, burning, and irritated eyes) Vaginal dryness or sensitive internal use (research first, please) When To Never Use It Pregnancy (it induces labor) Castor Oil & Hormones As estrogen drops in perimenopause and menopause, skin becomes thinner, drier, and less elastic. This is where castor oil shines—literally and figuratively. It supports: Skin barrier repair Moisture retention Elasticity appearance That “spring back” we start to lose Is it Botox? No. Is it still amazing and affordable? Absolutely. Bottom Line Is castor oil a cure-all? Nope. Is it a potent, multi-use, low-risk tool? Yes. In a world where we're constantly sold $200 serums and complicated 12-step regimens, there's something refreshing about a humble glass bottle that's been used for centuries. If you try it: Buy organic Make sure it's in a dark glass bottle Patch test first Use cotton (preferably organic), not polyester, when covering treated areas And maybe—just maybe—pour it into something beautiful so you'll actually remember to use it. One More Thing Pretty Well was shared more than 94% of other shows in Spotify Wrapped this year. That's because of you. You share it. You text it. You send it to friends who need better information without the hype. And that means everything to me. If this episode helped you to decode the castor oil craze (or prevented you from putting it in your eyes), do me a favor and share it with a friend.

Jamaicans are claiming a Cork TD as one of their own after a video of Thomas Gould speaking in the Dáil went viral.People on social media say that his strong Cork accent sounds “uncannily” Jamaican, and even Gould himself is seeing the funny side, joking he won't be releasing a Bob Marley album any time soon.He joins Seán, as well as DrEllen Howley, Assistant Professor at the school of English in DCU, to discuss.

We love the fact that a Cork Politician has gone viral in Jamaica, and if you listen carefully he could even possibly pass as a Jamaican

The film writer Brian Abrams returns to discuss Predator 2 (1990), directed by Stephen Hopkins. The sequel swaps Arnold Schwarzenegger for Danny Glover and transplants the action to a sweltering, near-future Los Angeles in 1997, where climate collapse and gang warfare create the ideal hunting ground for an extraterrestrial predator on safari.Often dismissed as a crass, hyper-violent downgrade from the original, Brian and I argue that Predator 2 is the only other truly worthy entry in the franchise. Its appeal lies in sheer excess, using escalation to meaningfully expand the series' mythology. Nearly saddled with the newly introduced NC-17 rating due to its extreme violence, the film now plays like a meathead action satire in the vein of RoboCop. It offers a contradictory vision of future America—one shaped by imperialist blowback—depicting Los Angeles as a literal “concrete jungle,” populated by a multicultural cast trapped within a racially insensitive landscape of Colombian and Jamaican drug cartels and an ambulance-chasing tabloid culture, while a dreadlocked interstellar hunter methodically racks up bodies.We also dig into why Arnold didn't return, how Steven Seagal was briefly considered as the lead, the film's chaotic production history, and more.Over 30% of all Junk Filter episodes are only available to patrons of the podcast.

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION “Before you call the snail a weakling, tie your house to your back and carry it around for a week.”~Ayọ̀bámi Adébáyọ̀, Nigerian novelist “Before pointing fingers make sure your hands are clean.”~Bob Marley (1945-1981), Jamaican singer and songwriter “People get addicted to feeling offended all the time because it gives them a high; being self-righteous and morally superior feels good.”~Mark Manson, author and blogger “We judge people in areas where we're vulnerable to shame, especially picking folks who are doing worse than we're doing. If I feel good about my parenting, I have no interest in judging other people's choices. If I feel good about my body, I don't go around making fun of other people's weight or appearance. We're hard on each other because we're using each other as a launching pad out of our own perceived deficiency.”~Brené Brown, academic, podcaster, and writer “We judge ourselves by our intentions. And others by their actions.”~Stephen Covey (1932-2012), educator, author, businessman “There are only two kinds of men: the righteous who think they are sinners and the sinners who think they are righteous.”~Blaise Pascal (1623-1662), French mathematician and philosopher, in his Pensées (534) “Nothing can damn a man but his own righteousness; nothing can save him but the righteousness of Christ.” “The greatest enemy to human souls is the self-righteous spirit which makes men look to themselves for salvation.”~Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892), famed London preacher “Self-justification and judging others go together, as justification by grace and serving others go together.”~Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945), pastor-theologian executed for his opposition to the NazisSERMON PASSAGERomans 2:1-16 (ESV)Romans 1 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.” 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. 19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse…. 28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. 29 They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 Though they know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.Romans 2 1 Therefore you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things. 2 We know that the judgment of God rightly falls on those who practice such things. 3 Do you suppose, O man—you who judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself—that you will escape the judgment of God? 4 Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance? 5 But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God's righteous judgment will be revealed. 6 He will render to each one according to his works: 7 to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life; 8 but for those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury. 9 There will be tribulation and distress for every human being who does evil, the Jew first and also the Greek, 10 but glory and honor and peace for everyone who does good, the Jew first and also the Greek. 11 For God shows no partiality.12 For all who have sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law. 13 For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified. 14 For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them 16 on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus.

The story of the Jamaican bobslead team is a family-friendly comedy that hits all the hoary old sports movie underdog beats.

Lewis, Malik Youba, and John Candy. Written by Lynn Siefert, Tommy Swerdlow, and Michael Goldberg. Directed by Jon Turteltaub.

We're heading back to the vibrant, feel-good energy of the 1990s as we take a deep dive into Cool Runnings—the beloved underdog story inspired by the real Jamaican bobsled team. In this episode, we explore what makes this movie such an enduring classic: its heart, humor, unforgettable performances, and the way it blends sports, culture, and comedy into something truly timeless. Whether you grew up watching it on VHS, caught it on TV, or are experiencing it for the first time, this episode brings nostalgia, warmth, and plenty of laughs.

This mix celebrates one of reggae's most iconic and influential voices, bringing together 18 tracks that showcase the incredible range and legacy of the one and only U-Roy. U-Roy, born Ewart Beckford in 1942 in Kingston, Jamaica, is widely regarded as the Originator and Godfather of Toasting, the vocal style that laid the foundation for what would eventually become rap and hip hop. Emerging from the vibrant sound system culture of 1960s Jamaica, U-Roy pioneered the art of toasting, improvising spoken word lyrics and ad-libs over existing riddims and rocksteady rhythms. His breakthrough came in 1970 when he simultaneously held the top three spots on the Jamaican charts, an unprecedented feat that announced the arrival of a revolutionary new voice in reggae music. Over a career spanning more than five decades, U-Roy collaborated with some of reggae's greatest names, including Big Youth, The Gladiators, Hopeton Lewis, and Cornell Campbell, cementing his status as a true cornerstone of the genre. His influence extended far beyond Jamaica, inspiring generations of DJs, toasters, and MCs worldwide. U-Roy continued recording and performing well into his later years, earning lifetime achievement recognition and the deep respect of artists across multiple genres. He passed away in February 2021, leaving behind a catalog that remains as vital and infectious as ever, making this 18-song mix a fitting tribute to one of music's true originals.

Send a textWhat does it look like for a father to intentionally shape the identity of his sons?In this powerful conversation, Pete Alwinson and Jayson Quiñones sit down with Peter Hamilton, Marine veteran, real estate professional, husband, father of three sons, and grandfather, to explore biblical fatherhood and the lifelong calling of a dad. Peter shares how his Jamaican immigrant parents modeled hard work and faith, how his mother led him to Christ at nine years old, and how his father broke generational cycles by choosing presence over victimhood.The heart of this episode centers on a bold and practical idea every dad can apply. Peter gave each of his sons a defining word over their lives: greatness, excellence, and leadership. He explains why identity must be bestowed by a father, not earned, and how speaking life into your children creates an anchor for their future. The conversation also tackles parenting adult children, transitioning from authority to friendship, loving unconditionally, and maintaining family unity across states and generations.If you are a father, grandfather, or future dad, this episode will challenge you to step into your God given authority, speak blessing over your children, and lead your family with clarity and conviction.

Send a textI this episode I sat down with cultural heritage reconnection coach Tami Garcia to trace a path from distance to pride. Raised in Cleveland by Jamaican and Dominican family who chose assimilation for survival, Tami grew up without language, rituals, or a map for belonging; until Howard University cracked something open: pride, proximity, and a hunger for the fullness of her story.This conversation traces Tammy's journey from disconnection to reclamation, and how that personal work became the foundation for the work she now does with families and individuals across the diaspora.Along our conversation journey, we name cultural imposter syndrome, face the pain of gatekeeping on both sides of the diaspora, and offer strategies to enter new spaces with respect: arrive in silence, observe, share your story and build trust step by step.Connect with Tami Garcia - https://www.tamigarcia.com/ Subscribe to the Newsletter Support How to Support Carry On Friends Donate: If you believe in our mission and want to help amplify Caribbean voices, consider making a donation.

Happy Winter Olympics, Void! We're checking in this week with a classic sports film about what we hope to see in international competitions: pride, power, and a bad mothah who don't take nothing from no one! We're talking about the Jamaican bobsled team in Cool Runnings, a fictional story based on the real 1988 debut of this team. We have Derice, the driver, Junior (rich kid) the first middle, Yul Brenner (not the actor) the second middle, and Sanka, the brakes (best push-car driver). Together they learn about ice, breath condensation, and the electric slide. Meanwhile, Brennan explains sport, Erin brings up skeleton a lot, and they both agree that John Candy is Zuko. Feel the rhythm, feel the rhyme! Plug it in, it's PODCAST TIME!!!!

The Winter Olympics kicked off in Calgary on 13th February, 1988 - but the stand-out stars of the event did not qualify for a medal. Rather, the four-man Jamaican Bobsled team - who would later become (unreliably) immortalised in the Disney comedy ‘Cool Runnings' - became a testament to the intersection of determination, investment, and sporting excellence. The brainchild of Americans George Fitch and William Maloney, the concept was influenced by Jamaica's annual Pushcart Derby, and supported in part by the Tourist Board. Participants, including helicopter pilot Dudley Stokes, were recruited via the pair's connections to the Jamaican military. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly pick out fact from fiction in the Hollywood retelling of the saga; consider the legacy of Jamaica's first-time involvement with this cold-weather sport; and reveal how reggae music really did help the team make it to the competition…  Further Reading: • 'I Was in The Jamaican Bobsled Team That Inspired 'Cool Runnings'' (Newsweek, 2022): https://www.newsweek.com/i-was-jamaican-bobsled-team-that-inspired-cool-runnings-1675732 • ‘Jamaican bobsleigh team: Everything you need to know about Cool Runnings, the 1988 Olympic Games, and more' (Olympics, 2021): https://olympics.com/en/news/jamaican-bobsleigh-team-1988-winter-olympics • ‘Jamaican Bobsleigh Team Debut At Calgary Winter Olympics' (Olympics, 1988): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nm4DjRcmoPY We'll be back on Monday - unless you join CLUB RETROSPECTORS, where we give you ad-free listening AND a full-length Sunday episode every week!Plus, weekly bonus content, unlock over 70 bonus bits, and support our independent podcast.Join now via Apple Podcasts or Patreon.

But if there's one label that changed everything else. it's seeker. This is the story most people don’t know about Brother Barry… the journey of a seeker who was looking for truth in all the wrong places, until God led him to the one place he did his best to avoid.

Thirty-five years later, Brother Barry still tears up thinking about that first Bible study, the night he couldn’t sleep because he thought: could this be it? After years of a chaotic childhood, unstable homes, and churches that left him more confused than when he walked in, God led him right to the door he’d been passing every single day. But what he didn’t know was that his story was just beginning. Because God had a calling waiting for him that would blow up every plan he had for his young life. Now, if Brother Barry’s story spoke to you, or if you know someone who’s in the middle of their own secret journey, share this with them.

Rum -- despite its exotic reputation -- isn't an escapist novelty so much as a lived-in, agricultural spirit, grounded in real places and real work. No one makes that case more convincingly than this week's guest, Dan Smith, managing partner of Queen Mary Tavern, a Ukrainian Village institution and longtime favorite of the Joiners boys. Dan cut his teeth at The Violet Hour, then behind the bar at Barrelhouse Flat under Stephen Cole and Greg Buttera, before opening Queen Mary in 2015 with Heisler Hospitality and building its singular, maritime-spirits-driven program. He joins us on the coldest day of the year for a proper Rum 101, touching on what actually creates Jamaican “funk,” how fermentation choices shape flavor, and why Queen Mary has worked to place rum in a less escapist, more everyday context -- plus a handful of great stories along the way, from magnum Jamaican pours to the improbable discovery of a tavern sealed in time since the 1970s.  

The XXV Winter Olympic Games are underway in Milan, Italy and I couldn't be happier. I love the Olympics. I'll admit, the Summer Games are my favorite, but growing up in the frozen tundra of the Midwest gave me a soft spot for nearly every Winter event. So, while Team USA fights for gold, I figured: what better way to get into the Olympic spirit than by watching some great movies inspired by the Winter Games? Each of these films highlights the grind to reach the Olympics and the agony and ecstasy of chasing greatness. Downhill Racer (1969)We begin on the slopes with Downhill Racer, a character‑driven drama following American skier David Chappellet, a talented athlete desperate to earn his spot on the U.S. Olympic Ski Team. As he competes across Europe, David's single‑minded obsession puts him at odds with teammates and coaches, but no one can deny his raw ability.What makes Downhill Racer special is the realism and the psychology of ambition. The ski sequences are exhilarating, especially the first‑person shots barreling down European slopes. Those sequences alone are worth watching.It's a portrait of the cost of obsession and how the Olympic dream can consume a person. The Cutting Edge (1992)The Cutting Edge gives us a nice blend of rom‑com energy and Olympic ambition.The movie opens at the 1988 Winter Olympics, where both main characters suffer devastating losses. Hockey star Doug Dorsey takes a blow to the head that ends his career. Figure skater Kate Moseley is dropped by her skating partner, ending her gold‑medal hopes.Two years later, training for the 1992 Games, Kate and Doug team up out of necessity and desperation. Doug's rough‑around‑the‑edges hockey mentality smashes directly into Kate's icy perfectionism. But as they train through long hours and grueling routines, their hostility slowly melts into respect, then friendship, then something more. Cool Runnings (1993)Cool Runnings tells the incredible true(ish) story of the first Jamaican bobsled team, a group of sprinters from a tropical island who dared to chase a Winter Olympics dream. When sprinter Derice Bannock fails to qualify for the 1988 Summer Olympics, he discovers that legendary and disgraced bobsledder Irving Blitzer once tried to form a Jamaican sled team. Determined to get to the Olympics any way he can, Derice recruits Blitzer to train a team for the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary.Cool Runnings is a pure feel‑good movie, an underdog tale that radiates joy.It's impossible to watch this movie without smiling. It's comedy, heart, and Olympic determination all rolled into one.Miracle (2004)Miracle retells the iconic story of the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team, one of the greatest underdog victories in sports history. At the center is legendary coach Herb BrooksBrooks assembles a roster of young college players, not the most talented individuals, but the ones who will form the best team. He trains them relentlessly, reshapes their mindset and prepares them specifically to confront the Soviet Union, the unstoppable powerhouse of global hockey.The final act recreates the legendary “Miracle on Ice” that stunned the world. Even if you know the outcome, the film delivers tension and suspense.Miracle is more than a sports movie. It's about grit, unity, sacrifice and the belief that a group of ordinary people can achieve something extraordinary.Those are my picks for the Winter Olympic movie marathon, four films that capture the heart, struggle and triumph of the Games. They showcase the sacrifices athletes make, the hours of training, the impossible odds, and the pure joy of victory. They also deliver everything you want in a movie night: drama, laughs, and underdogs worth cheering for.Enjoy the Games and enjoy the movies.Thanks for reading Video Store Podcast!

Mocha questions whether it's ever appropriate for two men to FaceTime each other, sparking a hilarious debate in the room. Maurie sits down with Paris Hilton to chat about her new film Infinite Icon: A Visual Memoir, and Jamaican bobsledder Nimroy Turgott joins the show to talk about the team's Olympic momentum.

With the Winter Olympics upon us, we visit a true story about a British man who learned how to ski jump in order to make the British Olympic Team...but there was one problem, he wasn't very good. But that's not the point! Eddie Edwards had a simple goal: Make the Team; and playing by the rules that were set before him, he was able to do exactly that! When looking back at the 1988 Olympics people remember two things: The Jamaican bobsled team and Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards . Why? Both demonstrate the power of the human spirit and are stories that move us to remember the true joy of sports - competing!

Welcome to CURE America with Donald T. Eason! Today, we bring you two stellar guests in an enlightening episode focused on empowering communities through agency, family values, and cultural renewal. First, join us for an in-depth interview with Ian Rowe, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, founder of Vertex Partnership Academies—a virtues-based international baccalaureate high school in the Bronx—and author of *Agency: The Four Point Plan to Overcome the Victimhood Narrative*.   Rowe shares his inspiring personal story from his Jamaican immigrant roots to leading innovative education initiatives, emphasizing the "success sequence"—completing high school, gaining full-time employment, and marrying before having children—as a data-backed pathway (with 97% poverty avoidance) to upward mobility, regardless of race or background. He discusses combating victimhood mindsets in schools, facing pushback from critics like Harvard sociologist Christina Cross who prioritize government interventions over personal choices, and his successes in advocating for success sequence education in states like Ohio and Tennessee.   Then, delve into a compelling speech by Delano Esquire, who traces the historical decline of the Black family since the 1960s, highlighting how welfare policies displaced fathers as providers, feminist movements promoted independence at the expense of partnership, and progressive black church leaders shifted from biblical family teachings to political activism, often influenced by figures like James Cone and events like the Moynihan Report. Esquire calls for urgent revival through child-centered rights, church-led marriage workshops, institutional support from HBCUs and media, and resistance to opposing forces like feminists, LGBT activists, and organizations such as Planned Parenthood, stressing that strong marriages are key to community strength and generational legacy. Join us for this eye-opening conversation on reclaiming agency, restoring family stability, and fostering true community renewal.
