Podcast appearances and mentions of jeanette ward

Send us a textIn this episode of CashColorCannabis, we sit down with Jeanette Ward—founding member of the Minority Cannabis Business Association and the powerhouse behind the Nu Project. From her early days helping build one of the nation's first equity-focused cannabis organizations to now leading efforts to fund and elevate Black and Brown cannabis entrepreneurs in the Pacific Northwest, Jeanette shares a journey rooted in purpose, policy, and progress.We dive into how NuLeaf is bridging the funding gap, the legacy of MCBA, and the businesses she's most excited about supporting right now. Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur, investor, or someone passionate about equity in cannabis, this is a conversation you don't want to miss.

This week you won't find any deep film analysis, existential themes, or scathing social commentary (OK there is a Carter Joke and a Reagan Joke, but that's it). The Lambs assembled this week to mostly share what tickled them about this 1984 Comedy.  It sometimes sounds like the Chris Farley Show , "Remember that time the bookstore owner talked backwards?" "Yeah", "That was awesome". Jeanette Ward, tries to keep us all from sinking into repeating all the jokes from the film, and she succeeds in getting us to dig a little bit for some overlooked gems. You may not understand the movie better from listening to the show, but you will want to watch it again because Matt Simpson, James Wilson and Bubbawheat are enthusiastic about so much of the movie. Come listen to your friends talk about the film, like you are all in the seventh grade again. 

We may have finished the Sharknado franchise, but the Sharknado franchise isn't finished with us. To give the series a proper send-off, Jay is joined by Jeanette Ward ( @j.y.ward on Instagram ), Heather Baxendale-Walsh ( @headertime1981 on Instagram ) and Aaron Neuwirth ( @aaronsps4 ) to celebrate all things shark and indeed nado, including space sharks, eco-terror movies and, of course, the filmography of Chris Kattan.

On this week's episode we dive into the world of 90's action. Jeanette Ward from The Mundane Adventures of a Fangirl joins us to look at when Paramount tried to make Jeff Speakman the next big action star. Get ready for 1991's The Perfect Weapon! We also have our movie recommendations and our trivia game. 

The LAMBs have no common theme this week, except that they have been watching things that they want to talk about. We get schooled on a couple of streaming films, a couple of current movies, and a couple of older classics. Everyone had a variety of sources for their choices, and Aaron cheated by collecting the five Academy Animated shorts into one selection (good for him). We also go a short way down the Gene Hackman path, a deeper dive will wait until another show. The exit question was hard for everyone this week, and so they tried to cheat on that as well. Nicole Ayers, Jeanette Ward and Aaron Neuwirth have been watching things that they will steer you towards, and for a couple, away from.  

Jay is joined by Jeanette Ward ( @j.y.ward on Threads ) to investigate the first instalment in the cult franchise Sharknado, and determine just how plausible the whole thing is! On this episode they discussed improbable car chases, selectively destructive weather events and a lack of seaweed, plus how to enjoy films regardless of science and logic.

Representatives Jeanette Ward and Ken Pendergraft join me on the program to discuss their respective races.  It's a wide ranging discussion of taxes and what they are hearing on the campaign trail.  Also, I take a look at the HD40 race in Johnson and Sheridan Counties.

Two half hour interviews, one with Tony Locke and one with Jeanette Ward, each representatives from Natrona County up for reelection.

Through dangers untold. And hardships unnumbered. I have fought my way here to the castle; beyond the goblin city, to take back the child that you have stolen. My will is as strong as yours, and my kingdom as great…The gallant Lambs this week take on Nostalgia for the ages, or at least for a long ago decade. Oh, Mother Night! Fold your dark arms about me. Protect me in your black embrace. I sit alone, an impotent exile, whilst this form, this presence, returns to torment me! Jeanette Ward, Bubbawhwet and Todd Liebenow join Richard for a fun packed show with a poll at the end for you to vote on. You rush a miracle man, you get rotten miracles, no rotten miracles on this show. 

Episode 0 of Well, Actually 19 First Dates where host Bubbawheat and guest Jeanette Ward discuss this week's date which is what I'm calling date zero as they don't really interact starting at 8 minutes and 18 seconds with Henry Roth walking into the Hukilau Cafe and ending at 11 minutes and 32 seconds with Henry turning down an offer from Alexa.

This week is Movie of the Month Week for September. Jeanette Ward has championed a Sci Fi Teen Comedy to the pole position, but that may not tell you enough to guess the movie, because in 1985, within two weeks of each other, three films opened with that description. Our film is "Real Genius" which features the genius of comic performances from Val Kilmer. College students at a science/technology based elite school get into hijinks, and our LAMBs this week do the same. Come listen to Rachel Wagner, James Wilson and Jeanette as we try to fathom the mysteries of math and tanning parties. Listen, if you ever need to talk or you need help studying just let us know, 'cause we're here for you guys and we never sleep, okay?

On this fun filled episode,  Ashley and Vern first visit with some amazing people, Jeanette Ward, Matthew Simpson, and Richard Kirkham on The LAMBcast to talk about the number one movie in the world, Barbie. You can listen to full episode by visiting the link below https://largeassmovieblogs.com/2023/07/lambcast-695-barbie.html After the break, The Vern is back with guest Daniel Lackey of Muscially Ignorant to talk about the best movie ever made( There is a book that proves it.  Click  HERE for more details)   Of course Im talking about Josie and the Pussycats.  Of course we could have done the second half on Openheimer or even Barbieheimer but every other podcast is going to be talking about that so we think it would be way cooler to talk about Barbie and Josie instead.

The Guardians of the Lambcast show up this week to guide you through a trip to the theaters. James Gunn's Guardians Finale comes under the microscope and peering through the lens are Nick Rehak, Amanda Kirkham and Jeanette Ward. Our general thoughts are enthusiastic, but there are a few reservations. The team ranked the Guardians film, talked about our favorite sequences, and warns all of you that there are some emotional buttons that are about to be pushed. Animal lovers' be warned. Also. Nathan Fillion gets some props along the way. We also have an answer to this week's exit question, and a certain frozen soldier shows up in part one of everyone's list. So, lets' all fly away together... one more time... into the forever and beautiful sky.

Todd is joined by Jeanette Ward from The Mundane Adventures of a Fangirl to look at 1989's Best of the Best.

Zach is back in the DCEU, no not that Zach, the other one, Zachary Levi, as the adolescent hero in a grown man's body, Shazam!  Four years after making a winning introduction in the strange mix of DC heroes, the Champion with the power of the Gods returns, and the daughters of one of those Gods are none to pleased. Jeanette Ward and Amanda Kirkham are the guests this week as we spend a little time on the first film and then take a deep dive into the new entry. Now take the Staff and say my name.  

Today, we do a special case study of Wyoming as the quintessential Republican state that governs blue. We're joined by Rep. Jeanette Ward, who fled Illinois as a political refugee to join the Wyoming legislature, only to find that the majority of elected Republicans are progressives. Whether it's banning biomedical tyranny, gender studies, porn in libraries, or Chinese land ownership, we can't seem to get anything passed in the state. She implores the public to begin paying attention to what is going on in their red-state legislatures; otherwise these states will be indistinguishable from blue states. Also, I give a rundown of action items for our state legislative strike force teams. Be sure to sign up at ConAction.network to join one of our teams and make red states red again.

All bills get assigned to committees--some to be passed, others to be killed.  Jeanette Ward's HB87 is now in the Revenue Committee.  There's at least one member of that committee that doesn't even want to give it a hearing.

The world's greatest detective with a weird Southern Accent, returns to solve another case involving rich assholes and low culture. The Lambcast goes slumming this week with a Netflix film that should have been a theatrical release but was only made available to cinemas for a week before it was banished to streaming. The original "Knives Out" had Jay Cluitt as it's biggest fan, and he returns along with Jeanette Ward, and Howard Casner, to discuss whether this sequel is worthy. You will have to listen to find out.

Coming up on Weekend Update, the Wyoming Tribune Eagle has a new poll out.  H57 Representative-Elect Jeanette Ward joins me to talk about her legislative priorities.

Persistence pays off as Jeanette Ward continued to submit this film until it won. This sequel to the widely remembered "The Fugitive" is itself widely forgotten, but not this week. An action film with the Marshal team reassembled in pursuit of a different fugitive seems like a perfect set up and when you add Wesley Snipes and Robert Downey Jr. , how could you miss? We debate whether this sequel hits the bullseye or misses the target, but everyone seemed to be glad to revisit this 1998 film. Come listen and find out why.

Jay and Mark are joined by Jeanette Ward (@jeanette_y_ward on Twitter) to discuss the chapter in which there is a lot of wind.

Jay Cluitt is back to Host the Lambcast for this Nicolas Cage Extravaganza. His posse consists of two Y chromosome challenged Lambs, the always excellent Jeanette Ward and the equally wonderful Heather Baxendale Walsh. The three of them have only love for the subject of today's show but they is do enjoy  speculating about casting and imagining who other than Nick Cage could pull this off. Jay has a game that is so long, we severed it from the regular show and stuck it in as an outtake. So you can listen to it then,  Not that you went anywhere.

This episode was originally released on Deep Blue Sea - The Podcast. Jay and Mark are joined by Jeanette Ward (@jeanette_y_ward) to discuss the 1995 action film Cutthroat Island.

In this episode, they discuss torture eels, sword dancing, and badass sleeveless leather pirates. Enjoy!

The Black Effect Presents... Street Politicians. The business of cannabis is a booming industry. Historically, marijuana has been criminalized, and many people in the Black community have suffered harsh consequences for either smoking or selling weed. With legalization sweeping the states, smoking weed has become more common than drinking alcohol. Current public interest in cultivating cannabis or becoming a distributor has been rising rapidly, but how do you actually legally sell or grow marijuana? Tamika D. Mallory and Mysonne "The General" contact the experts and get the low down on becoming a legal weed distributor or grower. Our hosts also dive into what this means for people who have previously been locked up or penalized for weed as part of the “war on drugs.” Special guest Jeanette Ward joins street Politicians from Nuleaf to discuss the ins and outs of the selling skunk.

CURSES, FOILED AGAIN: “Out of my way, you masters of one thousand fleas”. The course of true love never did run smooth. If you're a hawk by day, your love is a wolf by night. If you are blind, your love is in a deep sleep. Curses. Sounds like it's time for Episode 54 of Pop Art, the podcast where my guest chooses a movie from popular culture, and I'll select a film from the more art/classic/indie side of cinema with a connection to it. This time, I am happy to welcome as my guest, blogger and film enthusiast Jeanette Ward, who has chosen Richard Donner's medieval dark fantasy Ladyhawke, while I have chosen the Alexander Korda/Michael Powell Tales of the Arabian Nights Sabu vehicle, the classic Thief of Bagdad, both fantasy films about a thief who helps overturn a curse and reunite lovers. And in this episode we answer such questions as: What is it about fantasy films anyway? Why did Ladyhawke fail at the box office? What is a Sabu and would you want to be one? Is Leo McKern No. 1? What happened when the production of Thief of Bagdad was moved from London to Hollywood at the outbreak of the war? Who was originally cast in the Rutger Hauer role? What innovation to special effects did The Thief of Bagdad bring to movie making? Why does everyone talk to God? And what is it with Broderick's accent?

I’m stoked to have been included as a guest at the grand opening of Frightmare Collectibles in Dallas Texas, and I tell you all about it in my recap. PLUS, an excerpt of my conversation with my friend and artist, Jeanette Ward. Check out my Patreon to hear the rest of what we have to talk about.

The West, Veteran's Day respect for our family members and American life; that's what our conversation was about today. And what a conversation it was! We were honored to have Jeanette Ward on the show today for a great morning discussion. Jenette has accomplished so much in her life and she has a great story of perseverance as well. Growing up in PA and then moving to NV, Jeanette is familiar with the experiences of those around her. Recently, Jeanette conceded to her opponent in the recent election for Illinois Senate District number 25. But that's not the end of it! It was a decision to run for the school board (U-46) that began Jeanette's interest in politics. She believes that parents should and must be involved in all aspects of their children's lives. Check out this interview and stay tuned for what the future may hold for Jeanette! Shouts go out to Tredwell for the help and support for yesterday's Veteran's Day special episode. Much appreciated! All veterans, veteran families and service members worldwide; your service is greatly appreciated. Thank you to our friends of the Aurora Public Art Commission & the GAR (Grand Army of the Republic).

Time once again to go into your room, leap under the covers, pop in your headphones and listen in secret to the most outrageous entertainment industry film podcast this side of the Rio Grande. Speaking of which, on this episode of the Simplistic Reviews podcast, the boys let loose on American icon, John Wayne. Matt and Justin take turns trying to read each other's minds in another edition of Simplistic Submarine. DJ introduces a new game centered around the demise of movie villains in Simplistic Death. Also, Doctor Doom reveals what he does for a day job. That, another entry into Julie's Diary, a Sean Bean death retrospective, special appearance from Walter Vinci from First Time Watchers podcast and Jeanette Ward from the Mundane Adventures Of A Fangirl, and an 80s movie mullet-off...all on this brand new episode of the Simplistic Reviews podcast.

This webinar presented by Ann-Marie Head and Jeanette Ward on 3 June 2020 focused on why and how to measure walking activities. The webinar highlighted the Guide to Traffic Management series which was recently updated to incorporate international good practice pedestrian planning and design guidance.

The return of a very special guest, the return of one of our favorite games, a brand new segment, two new sketches, and an in-depth look at Joey Pants' pants. This episode of the Simplistic Reviews podcast couldn't be any more filled to the brim with crazy if were a Gary Busey biography. We are graced with the presence of Jeanette Ward from The Mundane Adventures Of A Fangirl. We also test her film recognition with a little game of Simplistic Titles. Julie gets her own new segment aptly named Julie's Diary. And to top it all off, Jay Cluitt from Life Vs Film makes a cameo in order to channel the spirit of Christopher Nolan right in time for Tenet. Sounds weird? It is! Cool right? All that and more on a special episode of the Simplistic Reviews podcast          

This webinar, presented by Ann-Marie Head and Jeanette Ward on 27 May, explains how to better plan for high quality walking environments in our towns and cities. The webinar highlights the Guide to Traffic Management series which has recently been updated to incorporate international good practice pedestrian planning and design guidance.  

With a world starved for content, the Simplistic Reviews Podcast is here to show you how low the bar has fallen. With the help of Jay Cluitt from Life Vs Film, Jeanette Ward from The Mundane Adventures of a Fangirl, Nicholas Rehak, Steven C. Phillips from Altered Geek, and Todd Liebenow from Forgotten Films, Simplistic Reviews presents their two-part exposé on Sesame Street. The fellas also discuss which movies are to die for if ever the theaters open back up. And we top it all off with a game in which choices will have to be made on which fictional character is allowed to marry Justin and Matt's daughters. All that and more on this untested and very sick episode of the Simplistic Reviews Podcast.

Host Luke Burbank and announcer Elena Passarello tell stories of risks they've taken; Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Timothy Egan unpacks his relationship to faith during a thousand-mile trek across Europe that inspired his new book "A Pilgrimage to Eternity;" activist Jeannette Ward Horton discusses her organization NuLeaf, which advocates for minority inclusion in the legal cannabis industry; comedian Adam Pasi argues for the superiority of the Samoas Girl Scout cookie; and indie pop duo Pure Bathing Culture perform "All Night" from their latest album "Night Pass."

Jeanette Ward is a conservative candidate running for Illinois Senate in District 25 who has promised to tenaciously defend life, liberty, sound fiscal policy, parental freedom, and the 2nd Amendment. Previously, Jeanette was a member of school board U-46 for four years, the largest elected school board in Illinois.

Jeanette Ward has been a member on the Board of Education in the U-46 school district in Illinois since 2015. Since her election, she has been involved in a number of controversies in defending religious liberty and conservative values in the realm of education. District U-46 is the largest elected school board in Illinois spanning eleven communities and three counties. Jeanette Ward’s presence on this board has been integral in fighting to uphold truth and moral accountability in these schools.

School District U46 (Elgin, Illinois) School Board Member Jeanette Ward offers a profile in courage, grace, and wisdom, while fellow board members Veronica Noland and Melissa Owens offer profiles in hypocrisy and ignorance. Their hypocrisy and ignorance were revealed during a recent school board meeting discussion about proposed changes to the “Student Code of Conduct.” In 2013, the board voted to add the terms “sexual orientation,” “gender identity” and “gender-related identity or expression” to the section of school board policy on bullying and harassment. Those are the only conditions constituted by subjective, internal feelings and volitional behavior to be specifically …

As most know, the youth arm of the far-Left Women’s March has organized an anti-gun school protest that will take place in countless public schools across the country this week. They’re urging students to leave school buildings at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, March 14 for 17 minutes, which, counting the time it takes for students to exit and return to class, will disrupt classes for about 35 minutes. One school board member who understands the motives, implications, and problems of this political protest, Jeanette Ward in School District U-46, sent several questions to district CEO Tony Sanders, who posted …

A new controversy has erupted in School District U-46, and this time it doesn’t involve compulsory co-ed locker rooms or offensive statements from board member Traci O’Neal Ellis. This time 18 local religious leaders have objected to school board member Jeanette Ward’s Facebook post about a controversial article on religion assigned in a sixth-grade class. A teacher had her sixth-graders read an article by Australian history of religion professor and agnostic Philip Almond and then answer questions based on that reading. Here are some of the controversial statements from that article… READ MORE…

A cursory look at recent words from prominent homosexual writer Andrew Sullivan who self-identifies as Catholic illustrates the ways homosexual Christians attempt to remake Scripture in their own image to serve their own desires. Catholic revisionist Sullivan, a well-known cultural commentator, offered a fanciful and childish reinterpretation of Scripture when he wrote about the U.S. Supreme Court case involving Colorado baker Jack Phillips. It should be noted from the outset that Sullivan hopes Phillips wins, but also hopes he wins based on expressive speech arguments—not religious free exercise grounds. READ MORE…

If Illinoisans want to know what’s wrong with public education, look no further than School District U-46, more specifically to the arrogant, self-righteous school board member Traci O’Neal Ellis who never misses an opportunity to insult conservative values through bigoted, divisive, uncivil language.  She is the school board member who has twice gleefully referred to the Republican National Convention as the “Klanvention.” Evidently wanting to outdo herself in offending a segment of the diverse community whose interests she laughingly claims to represent, she just posted this on her Facebook page: I’m proud to stand with the sons of bitches on …

In light of the possibility that Governor Bruce Rauner may renege on his commitment to veto HB 40—the bill that would require taxpayer-funding of abortions through Medicaid and state employee insurance plans through the entire 9 months of pregnancies—and the moral gravity of such an obscene (and costly) requirement, Illinois Family Institute Executive Director David Smith sent a letter to Illinois’ Republican congressmen requesting their help in persuading Governor Rauner to veto HB 40.

Once again Monte and David have a discussion with two U-46 school board members, Cody Holt and Mrs. Controversy, Jeanette Ward, also candidate Enoch Essendrop. We talk primarily about taxes, revenue, and spending. We also discuss recent changes to curriculum in U-46. Yes, our government school systems have a spending problem.  State Representative Jeanne Ives (R-Wheaton) recently pointed out this outrageous tidbit on her Facebook page: Over 80 percent of superintendents receive six-figure compensation packages and will receive $2 million to $8 million in total pension benefits over the course of their retirements.… Continue Reading

This week, Monte and Dave are joined by school district U-46 board members Jeanette Ward and Cody Holt, and candidate for U-46 school board, Enoch Essendrop.  Cody and Enoch are running for the U-46 school board. The election will be held on  April 4th. In this week’s podcast, we talk about about the transgender bathroom and locker room controversy in U-46, where Jeanette made headlines for protecting the rights, privacy and safety of all U-46 students.  … Continue Reading

So much to say about Monday night’s barn-burner of a school board meeting in School District U-46, so little time. The meeting started at 7:00 p.m. By 6:00 p.m. the meeting room was filled to capacity, and attendees were sent to two upstairs overflow rooms to watch a livestream of the meeting. Approximately 58 visitors spoke, with 37 speaking in opposition to the school board’s decision to allow a student to use the locker room designated for persons of the opposite sex and to do so without telling U-46 parents of this decision. The remaining 21 spoke in favor …

  According to a lawsuit filed yesterday by the Alliance Defending Freedom, a high school boy in the city of Virginia, Minnesota (near Duluth) who is pretending to be a girl and whom school administrators allow to invade the privacy of girls has been accused of engaging in vulgar sexual gestures in a girls’ locker room. Read more……

  Tony Sanders, the chief executive officer of School District U-46 which serves 40,000 students in Cook, DuPage, and Kane Counties, has declared that a middle school locker room is henceforth co-ed. He has declared from on high that a student who wishes to be the opposite sex may use whichever locker room his or her heart desires. Even more troubling, Sanders has further declared that no parents in the district may be apprised of the fact that their children may be sharing a locker room with an opposite-sex student. If it weren’t for one courageous school board member, …
