Apparently cuffing season is official enough for the dictionary now, so congratulations to everyone looking for a temporary winter relationship with an expiration date conveniently located before Valentine's Day.This comedy podcast kicks off with Danny DeVito attempting to understand Gen Z slang before the crew tests its own knowledge of new dictionary additions like looksmaxxing, parasocial relationships, uncanny valley, vibe coding and cuffing season. Moon sees cuffing season as a gigantic relationship red flag. Lern sees soup, Game of Thrones and somebody to make out with until spring. Rizz hears “three months of getting laid” and suddenly understands the youth.Then Crap on Celebrities brings plenty of entertainment chaos. The crew gets into the MTV VMAs lineup, discovers just how massive BLACKPINK's Lisa actually is, hears Keith Richards covering “Bright Lights, Big City” for the Grand Theft Auto 6 soundtrack, and talks about Ice Nine Kills helping bring horror classics back to theaters. Somehow this comedy podcast also turns into an American Psycho discussion before wandering directly into an argument over country covers.Chris Stapleton versus the original “Tennessee Whiskey.” Darius Rucker versus Old Crow Medicine Show. Reba's “Fancy.” Johnny Cash covering Nine Inch Nails. Kenny Rogers taking over “The Gambler.” And then “Life Is a Highway,” where the crew reaches the beautiful bipartisan conclusion that maybe neither version needed to exist.Rizz also gets assigned some essential country music homework after admitting there are classics he somehow missed, which means the crew now has another opportunity to aggressively educate a grown man through peer pressure.And finally, there's Lern's punishment for losing the Pick 'Em challenge: recording an actual love song for Rizz and preparing to stare directly into his eyes while he listens to it. He's got butterflies. She's ready to serenade him. Everyone else gets to enjoy the discomfort.Cuffing, country music, celebrity news and unwanted workplace romance — another perfectly normal comedy podcast from The Rizzuto Show.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Mike Finnegan sent us something that none of us had ever seen—or even heard of—before: a forgotten 1983 television adaptation of Six Pack. Intended as a pilot for a weekly series based on the Kenny Rogers movie, it starred a pre-Miami Vice Don Johnson as race car driver Brewster Baker. Markie Post, Jennifer Runyon, Billy Warlock, and a very young Joaquin Phoenix rounded out a surprisingly recognizable cast. The real reason it landed on our radar was an orange 1969 Dodge Charger with a roll cage. Was it an actual General Lee left over from The Dukes of Hazzard, a stock car constructed by the same Georgia crew, or simply a very obvious tribute? Corndog examines the Charger's dashboard, bodywork, roll cage, and suspicious Dukes connections before delivering his official diagnosis. We also discuss Markie Post's tunnel-rammed 1968 Camaro, the pilot's six-kid pit crew, its strange mixture of family television and stock-car racing, and the final event featuring one of the most unlikely collections of race cars ever assembled. The orange Charger eventually meets its end in a spectacularly terrible “decapitation” stunt that may be worth watching the entire production to see. Before the review, we prepare for Holley MoParty 2026, preview Nathan Warren's incredible LS-powered Crown Victoria General Lee drift car, and help one of Dallas Kibbe's friends determine whether a modified 2003 Mustang GT is a smart first performance-car purchase. Bernie also brings us the Celebrity Automotive Birthday Game and the award-winning news you need to know. The post K&F Show #378: Don Johnson's Lost “Six Pack” TV Pilot – Was That a General Lee? first appeared on The Muscle Car Place.
Một mái tóc bồng bềnh vàng óng ánh như lúa mì trong nắng, làn son môi lúc nào cũng đỏ chói cho nụ cười thêm tươi rói. Vóc dáng của Dolly Parton càng trở nên quen thuộc với công chúng nhờ những bộ trang phục tươi sáng, lấp lánh. Gương mặt khả ái ấy giờ đây không còn nữa. Danh ca Dolly Parton đã qua đời vì bệnh ung thư hôm 25/08/2026 vừa qua tại Nashville, hưởng thọ 80 tuổi. Được mệnh danh là nữ hoàng dòng nhạc đồng quê, Dolly Parton (1946-2026) sinh trưởng trong một gia đình đông con tại bang Tennessee, Hoa Kỳ. Từ năm lên 10, bà đã di biểu diễn trong các chương trình truyền hình và thường xuyên hát trên đài phát thanh địa phương ở Knoxville, Tennessee. Nhân một buổi biểu diễn, bà đã có cơ hội gặp ca sĩ kiêm tác giả nổi tiếng Johnny Cash. Chính ông là người đã khuyến khích Dolly, lúc bấy giờ mới 13 tuổi, nên đeo đuổi con đường âm nhạc. Năm 21 tuổi, DollyParton thu hút sự chú ý khi phát hành album đầu tay "Hello, I'm Dolly" (1967) do chính bà sáng tác và ghi âm. Đến đầu thập niên 1970, sự nghiệp ca hát của Dolly thực sự cất cánh với nhiều bài hát ăn khách như "Jolene, Here you come again, 9 to 5, Coat of Many Colors" và nhất là "I will always love you", được viết hầu như cùng lúc với bài "Jolene". Ca khúc nhạc đồng quê kinh điển này được Dolly Parton thu âm lần đầu tiên vào năm 1974. Gần hai thập niên sau đó (1992), Whitney Houston thể hiện lại theo phong cách nhạc pop trữ tình cho bộ phim "The Bodyguard". Nhờ vậy, Dolly Parton trở thành tác giả của một trong những bài hát bán chạy nhất mọi thời đại. Trong vòng 60 năm sự nghiệp, Dolly Parton đã phát hành hơn 60 album phòng thu và sáng tác hơn 3.000 bài hát, trong đó có khoảng một phần ba đã được ghi âm, vì ngoài những bản nhạc ăn khách của mình, Dolly Parton còn sáng tác nhạc cho nhiều nghệ sĩ nổi tiếng khác (Merle Haggard, Kenny Rogers, Hank Williams Jr, Emmylou Harris hay Skeeter Davis .....) Với thời gian, Dolly Parton trở thành một trong những nghệ sĩ thành công nhất trong lịch sử dòng nhạc country với hơn 100 triệu đĩa hát được bán trên thị trường, 26 đĩa đơn đứng đầu bảng xếp hạng Billboard của Mỹ và 11 giải Grammy, nhưng bà vẫn là một gương mặt hiếm hoi, từ lúc còn sống, đã được đưa vào Đại sảnh Danh vọng Âm nhạc Đồng quê (1999) cũng như Đại sảnh Danh vọng Rock and Roll (2022) cho dù lúc đầu, Dolly Parton đã từ chối đề cử này vì bà nghĩ rằng mình không xứng đáng với một giải thưởng nhạc rock. Album cuối cùng của Dolly Parton phát hành cuối năm 2023 mang tựa đề "Rockstar" (Ngôi sao nhạc rock) đánh dấu sự hợp tác của bà với những tên tuổi lẫy lừng nhất làng nhạc rock như Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Sting, Elton John, Stevie Nicks, Sheryl Crow hay Miley Cyrus .... Tầm ảnh hưởng của Dolly Parton không chỉ dừng lại ở âm nhạc, vì ngoài ca hát bà còn từng đóng phim, sản xuất show truyền hình. Nhờ tài kinh doanh, bà làm ăn thành đạt trong nhiều lãnh vực khác, nhưng quan trọng hơn nữa, bà là một nghệ sĩ có tam lòng nhân hậu. Dolly Parton thường hay tặng tiền cũng như vận động quyên góp nhằm giúp đỡ các gia đình nghèo ở Mỹ, giúp họ vượt qua khó khăn, hoạn nạn hay bị trắng tay sau những đợt thiên tai, đồng thời bà luôn hỗ trợ giáo dục thông qua chương trình "Imagination Library" tặng sách cho trẻ em trên thế giới. Có lẽ cũng vì thế trong mắt công chúng Mỹ, nữ hoàng dòng nhạc country không chỉ đơn thuần là một biểu tượng của làng giải trí. Dolly Parton còn là môt tâm hồn độc đáo, vĩ đại hơn cả đời thường, nhưng không bao giờ làm cho những người xung quanh mình cảm thấy nhỏ bé, đáng thương. Một con người vui tính, tốt bụng, đa tài mà vẫn khiêm tốn. Dù nay đã ra đi, nhưng Dolly vẫn để lại cho nước Mỹ một nguồn ánh sáng tưởng chừng bé tí, nào ngờ đâu vĩ đại, diệu kỳ.

The crew gathers in the tunnel once again this week to celebrate Detroit City's massive 1–0 win over first-place Tampa Bay—possibly with a helping hand. Ates Diouf finds the winner, Aedan Stanley serves up the danger, Carlos Herrera slams the door, and the group asks whether this was Danny Dichio's best night in charge of Le Rouge.Before getting serious, the crew dreams up the only Keyworth gate giveaways that matter: a supporter's swear-word guide, booty shorts, a portable toilet seat, and a pre-match helmet. Then it's on to the Eastern Conference table, a vulnerable Louisville, some wildly confident predictions, Kian Williams' arrival, and the usual shout-outs—including a heartfelt salute to those who helped build the club behind the scenes. Somehow, colonoscopies and Kenny Rogers also make the cut.
The team is joined in the studio by returning guests Andy and Jason, who are back to talk about the alarming reversal of LGBTQIA+ rights in Indonesia. They discuss the presidential decree that equates LGBT culture with terrorism, and the wave of violence that has followed — a movement that actively hunts trans and queer people on the streets, undercover police using gay dating apps to target and extort, and universities asking students to sign statements disavowing LGBT+ identities. With official reports of violence climbing and leaders using the community as a scapegoat for wider unrest, they share what it's like to watch their home country turn against them — and close with a heartfelt message of love and solidarity for anyone listening.This week the team also revisits a conversation recorded live at Bristol Pride 2023 with Sarah Jayne, the Dolly Parton tribute artist. Sarah Jayne talks about 29 years performing as Dolly, the moment Dolly herself thanked her on national television, her work with Dolly's children's literacy charity, the Imagination Library, and a very special Pride set alongside her husband, who performs as Kenny Rogers.
We share more memories of Dolly Parton from listeners and from Reba McEntire and Kenny Rogers talking about her. We talked about a golf ad that faced a severe backlash and calls for a product boycott after releasing an online promotional video that depicted a male founder shoving a female creator to the ground over a new co-branded driver. We debate whether or not it was made with ill intent. Bobby talked about yesterday being a sad day after getting the news of Dolly Parton passing away. Amy shared a really cool story she heard from Julia Roberts about Dolly.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Hour 1 (8.25) Dolly Parton died Tuesday in Nashville at 80, and by 6 p.m. the American flag was coming down nationwide for a week. Twenty-five No. 1 country hits. Nobody ever did it like her. 6:05 — Her reps confirmed to PEOPLE that Parton died Tuesday after a brief battle with cancer; the type was not disclosed. President Trump ordered the American flag lowered across the country for one week, beginning at 6 p.m. Tuesday. 6:20 — The numbers behind the Queen of Country: 25 No. 1 hits on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart — a female record, per Guinness — plus 55 top 10s and 113 total entries on that chart. Then the crossovers: "9 to 5" and "Islands in the Stream" with Kenny Rogers. 6:35 — A brutally poor childhood she never once complained about, and the song that proves what she did with it. "Me and Little Andy," 1977: Dolly wrote it and sang it in a child's voice as Sandy, a girl "not more than six or seven" who knocks on a stranger's door in a storm holding her puppy. It was the B-side of "Here You Come Again." It still wrecks people. 6:50 — She lived by a motto: the more you give, the more blessings come back. Why this one is hitting people so much harder than they expected. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this special eight-minute tribute, Diana and Renee take a moment to remember Dolly Parton and the incredible impact she had on music, movies, and generations of fans. They talk about some of Dolly's most memorable film roles, including 9 to 5 and Steel Magnolias, her unforgettable quotes, her music, Jolene, Islands in the Stream with Kenny Rogers, and her later rock album. Most of all, they reflect on why Dolly was so beloved and what a gift it was to live in a world with her. Rest in peace, Dolly. Thank you for the music, the movies, the laughter, and the memories.

Dolly Parton's legacy is being remembered as one that will last lifetimes. The beloved country music star has died aged 80. She'll be remembered for songs like 'Nine to Five', 'I Will Always Love You', and 'Jolene' – just some of her 25 number one hits. Kiwi politician and country singer Suzanne Prentice opened for Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers when they visited New Zealand in the late 1980s, and remembers how kind and down to earth Parton was. She told Kerre Woodham the star seemed to look after everyone who came into her realm. "She was truly a star of our time, so I don't think in our lifetime, we'll ever see anything like Dolly Parton again." LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ed Morrissey, Managing Editor at Hot Air, and host of the Ed Morrissey Podcast, starts the show off with Seth to discuss the rise of Islamist ideology in America. Ed explains how the Islamist movement is gaining traction in the U.S., citing the example of Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic Senate candidate who's been making waves in Michigan with his ties to the Islamic Society of North America. Ed also shares his thoughts on the use of the term "Islamophobia" and how it's often misused to silence critics of Islamist ideology. Happy Birthday to the late Kenny Rogers!

Most people know Dato' Francis Lee as the man who helped build Berjaya Food into a massive retail behemoth, steering iconic brands like Starbucks and Kenny Rogers Roasters across Malaysia. But his journey didn't start in the boardroom of a food empire—it started with writing audit reports. Plucked from his role as an internal auditor during the 1997 Asian financial crisis, Dato' Francis learned the gritty realities of retail survival the hard way. From choosing a literal hole-in-the-ground at Mid Valley over a premium spot at KLCC to save on rent, to revolutionizing Kenny Rogers' service model from a cold-food queue to hot table service, his practical, common-sense approach turned struggling operations into a publicly listed powerhouse. Under his watch, Starbucks Malaysia grew from a single store at KL Plaza to 250 locations by the time he stepped down as CEO in 2017. In this episode, Dato' Francis unpacks the demanding realities of building food and beverage empires. He breaks down exactly why running a restaurant is vastly more complex than scaling a coffee chain, how he navigated intense social and political brand backlash, and shares a surprising perspective on today's economy: why he wouldn't start a business today and actually prefers the path of an employee. TL/DW of the episode: → From internal auditor to CEO: How the 1997 financial crisis sparked an unexpected career pivot → The Mid Valley vs. KLCC dilemma: The strategic real estate decision that saved Kenny Rogers Roasters' capital → Coffee vs. Food: The real economics, high margins, and operational nightmares of both industries → Navigating social media crises and political backlash in a highly sensitive B2C market → Why Dato' Francis advises aspiring entrepreneurs to strongly consider the stability of being an employee first → The truth about listing a company: Why you shouldn't go public unless you're making at least RM10-15 million → Behind the scenes of balancing a high-powered career with family sacrifices Dato' Francis Lee, Former CEO of Berjaya Food Berhad & CEO of Bermaz Auto Group Follow Dato' Francis here: URL: https://www.bauto.com.my/about.php

Episode 202: In Conversation with Grant Walters – Co-Author of "Decades: The Bee Gees in the 1980s" – Part 1 A few years ago, Brian and Sarah had the privilege and pleasure to speak with Grant Walters, one of the authors of a fantastic series of books chronicling the careers of Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb—also known as the Bee Gees. The first two installments of the Decades series were written by Grant Walters, Andrew Môn Hughes, and Mark Crohan, and cover the 1960s and the 1970s. The newest edition of Decades is written by Grant Walter and Andrew Môn Hughes, and not surprisingly, covers the 1980s. It follows the format of the previous books, going chronologically through each year of the decade, detailing the various projects and events that were keeping the Gibb brothers busy. Once again, Brian and Sarah had a fantastic time talking with Grant, getting the scoop on the creation of the book, and learning more about many of the topics covered in the book. This time, however, they talked so long, they needed to break the conversation up into two episodes. This episode focuses on where the Bee Gees were career-wise at the start of the 1980s, and goes on to discuss the songwriting and production work they did for other artists such as Barbra Streisand, Dionne Warwick, Kenny Rogers, and Diana Ross. (Swedish artist Carola will be covered in Part 2.) There's also information on the promotional tour Grant and Andrew will be undertaking to support the new book, including an appearance at the Thame Museum in Thame, Oxfordshire, which is home to the Robin Gibb Gallery. The event is on September 5, and you can purchase tickets for both in-person and livestream attendance.

A hit song can start with a flooded kitchen, a late co-writer, and a line tossed off as a joke. Sitting down with Phil Vassar, we follow the real road behind the radio: moving from Virginia to Nashville, getting told a piano player does not belong, and pushing through anyway until the first cuts finally land and the town starts listening. If you love songwriter stories, country music history, and the craft behind a chorus that sticks, this one goes deep and stays honest. We talk about building a career the hard way by owning a bar just to have a stage, playing every weekend, testing new songs on real people, and watching labels and artists start to show up. Phil shares what it felt like to jump from that club world to massive tours with Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, then to life on the road with Kenny Rogers, plus the pranks, personalities, and weird little moments you only get when you live inside the music business. Then the conversation turns to longevity: why timeless songs outlive trends, why some of his favorite tracks were never singles, and how “Just Another Day in Paradise” went from chaos to a No. 1. Phil also opens up about his 2023 heart attack, the shock of “bad genes,” and how a second chance changes your perspective on life and songwriting. If you enjoy interviews about the songwriting process, Nashville, and classic country storytelling, subscribe, share this with a music-loving friend, and leave us a review so more listeners can find the show.

In this episode of Elixir Wizards, Charles Suggs and Emma Whamond are joined by Ellyse Cedeno, founder of Heuristic Salvo and a software engineer and product leader with more than 25 years of experience across early internet platforms, gaming, health tech, and distributed systems. Ellyse shares the winding path that took her from early search engines and Netscape to game development, medical research at Mount Sinai, and eventually to Elixir. Along the way, she talks about staying curious over a long technical career, rediscovering joy through side projects, and why being willing to feel like a beginner again can be one of the most useful skills a developer can build. The conversation explores what it means to grow as an engineer in a world where AI tooling is becoming part of the everyday workflow. Ellyse makes the case that technical skill still matters, but the human parts of software development (like judgment, curiosity, communication, trust, and influence) are becoming increasingly important. We also talk about soft influence and how developers can create change inside organizations without relying on hard authority. Key Topics Discussed in this Episode: Ellyse's career path through early internet platforms, gaming, health tech, and distributed systems Moving from Netscape and search engines to medical research and software consulting Discovering Elixir through an interest in concurrent and distributed systems Why beginner's mindset still matters after decades in tech How neurodivergence, curiosity, and deep focus shape Ellyse's approach to programming Rediscovering joy in programming through side projects and experimentation Building an MMORPG game server in Elixir Exploring hardware, Nerves, and live theremin demos The role of passion projects in professional growth Protecting time for learning in productivity-focused environments Work-life balance differences between the U.S. and Europe How AI tools are changing expectations for modern developers Why AI does not replace judgment, taste, or technical understanding Understanding business needs instead of only focusing on technical preferences Introducing Elixir into a TypeScript-heavy organization Using Elixir microservices to solve specific technical problems What “soft influence” looks like in engineering teams Building trust through one-on-one conversations Knowing when influence is working and when it is not Negotiating technical decisions without turning them into power struggles The relationship between technical competence and interpersonal skill Managing imposter syndrome during pair programming and collaborative work Documentation as a visibility and ownership tool Community involvement, conference speaking, and finding your people Staying curious without burning out Why the human side of software development still matters Links Mentioned: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netscape Icahn School of Medicine at Mt.

It is hard to imagine a time when "You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em" didn't exist. We are are now considering (especially with the advent of quantum mechanics) that perhaps it has existed for time eternal. There is so much to discuss with Kenny Rogers' "The Gambler." There's the story of its writing (rest in peace, Don Schlitz). There's many versions. There's the dead muppet (!). There's the punchouts in all those TV movies. And there's the many lessons to be found in the lyrics. Join us as we work through these and so much more in what we feel is one of the greatest songs of all time.

Tim Conway Jr Show Hour 3 (4.21)
Listener suggestions are rated on the Yachtski Scale, with songs by Jimmy Buffett, Frank Stallone, and Kenny Rogers.
Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we shine a spotlight on legendary songwriter Don Schlitz—a master of narrative who helped shape the sound and soul of modern country music.Born in 1952, Schlitz became one of Nashville's most respected songwriters, known for crafting vivid, character-driven songs that feel like mini-movies. His ability to turn everyday struggles, moral dilemmas, and heartfelt moments into unforgettable lyrics has made his work timeless.We explore some of his most iconic songs, including:“The Gambler,” brought to life by Kenny Rogers, a song that became a cultural touchstone with its life lessons and unforgettable chorus“Forever and Ever, Amen” and “On the Other Hand,” both recorded by Randy Travis, which helped define the neotraditional country movement of the 1980s“When You Say Nothing at All,” a beautifully understated love song made famous by Alison Krauss and later introduced to a broader pop audience by Ronan Keating

Guitarist Andy Reiss joins me on the show today, the last full episode of Season 9! When I first moved to Nashville, I started going to see the Time Jumpers. They are an incredible band that plays western swing and classic country every Monday at 3rd & Lindsley. For quite a few years there, the band included Vince Gill, Paul Franklin, Ranger Doug, 3 incredible fiddle players, Dawn Sears on vocals, and Andy Reiss was always there, just calmly tackling every song, no matter how fast and crazy or slow and soulful. Usually playing elegant jazz/blues/bop licks on a Les Paul, or sometimes a 335. And while it was mind-bending to see everyone doing what they do, Andy was always a high point of any show for me. He's still doing that gig, as he has for over 20 years now. Andy started out in San Francisco, and made his way to Nashville around 1980, where he got to watch and work with a number of the original Nashville A-Team. Folks like Pete Drake, Harold Bradley, Bob Moore, Ray Edenton, and Pig Robbins. People that I know of as legends - Andy was around them from day 1 after moving here. He spent a good deal of time on the road with artists like Reba McIntyre and Slim Whitman, and has played on hundreds of records for artists like Miranda Lambert, Willie Nelson, Kenny Rogers and Leon Russell. He is truly one of the great guitar players in town, and has a deep knowledge of music, guitars and history. I also get to enjoy him up close and personal, since he now plays in my band The Volcano Brothers as well! Be sure to go and see Andy any time you're in Nashville.Enjoy my conversation with Andy Reiss.This season is brought to you by our main sponsors Larivée Guitars, Audeze, Izotope, FabFilter, and Chase Bliss.
