Hour 3 (09.28) Big-box America knows you’re broke: ALDI is cutting prices on about a third of its stuff — seasonal produce included — through November 3; Walmart’s running Deal Days; Target’s cheap on candy, snacks, and cereal; and Amazon’s discounting fish, meat, and dairy. Then Bellio’s Starbucks-door story and her Andy Garcia story, which somehow end the same way. Disney+ and Hulu jack ad-free to $21.49-plus — stream-flation — while finding the actual game gets harder, and the FDA is close to a blood-cancer test. Replay of the Coliseum ugly: USC linebacker Desman Stephens II’s targeting hit on Oregon QB Dante Moore put him down hard; Moore’s expected to be OK with movement in all extremities, but Stephens and teammates celebrating while he was still on the field was a look nobody needed. Live now: a chase near LAX and Westchester turns into a foot pursuit with CHP on it. Mark’s MCing Kitten Rescue’s Fur Ball at the Skirball this weekend. And Dennis Haskins — Mr. Belding from “Saved by the Bell” — has died at 75. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

He was able to sit down with President and CEO Jeffrey Rudolph to discuss the magnificent new building built to display the shuttle in full launch position.Then, it was strictly premium cabin luxury as Brian settled into United Polaris business class experience from LAX to Sydney. He breaks down the full flagship experience, highlighting the top-tier ground services and inflight amenities that make a 14-hour flight feel like a breeze.So sit back, relax, and enjoy the stories.

You can now leave me a voicemail directly at https://podline.fm/the-georgio-says-podcast — drop your questions, hot takes, confessions, comments, or anything you want to spill to me about, and I will be playing them and reacting right here on the podcast! Also, don't miss tomorrow's brand-new episode of Leave a Message, where I dive into your voice notes. Wrapping up an incredible week in Los Angeles right before heading to LAX, Georgio gives a quick shout-out to Heather McDonald for having him on Juicy Scoop and recaps a productive day working with the TikTok crew before diving headfirst into two uncomfortable, developing reality TV stories. First, we address the distressing video circulating online involving Teresa Giudice, her oldest daughter Gia, and 20-year-old Milania at Tampa International Airport. Following Milania's recent hospital discharge and ongoing personal struggles, police were called to assist the family during a tense public breakdown. Georgio breaks down the leaked footage, Gia acting as the emotional anchor for her family, and the growing questions surrounding the family dynamic ahead of The Real Housewives of New Jersey's upcoming reboot. Then, Georgio unleashes on the latest police reports emerging around Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann's Georgia residence. A new complaint filed by an equestrian reserve employee reveals that one of the Biermann boys allegedly fired 20 to 30 pellets across the road at horses and riders. Georgio digs into the alarming lack of parental supervision, addresses past incidents involving the family dog, and calls out Kim and Kroy for fostering an environment of zero accountability and total negligence. Plus, we touch on the emotional resonance of the RHOSLC premiere and the ongoing drama surrounding Bronwyn and Whitney. Grab your coffee and hit play—this Friday episode holds nothing back!

Ed and Richard are back, and Richard's Flight Wall is finally making its on-camera debut—although New York airspace isn't exactly cooperating. Ed recaps a very AvGeek-heavy few days, including Cranky Dorkfest at LAX, where aviation fans got up close with everything from a United 787 and American's AirCal livery to Southwest's 1776 MAX 8 and Lufthansa's 100th-anniversary 747. But Ed's biggest aviation experiment happened before he got to Los Angeles. He flew out of Montreal Metropolitan Airport (YHU), a long-established airport that's new to commercial service. The small terminal has just nine gates and a surprisingly comfortable central seating area, with Porter currently providing the primary commercial service. From there, Ed spent roughly five hours aboard a Porter E195-E2 from Montreal to Vancouver. That sounds like a long time on a regional jet, but the experience surprised him. Porter Reserve offered 36 inches of legroom, the standard seats had 34 inches, the seats were roughly 18 inches wide, Wi-Fi was available, and the crew provided repeated beverage and snack service. The verdict? Ed would happily fly it again. Then it's time to reconsider a credit card that hasn't gotten much attention on M2G: Citi Strata Elite. The card earns 1.5X on everyday purchases, 3X at restaurants—with 6X on Friday and Saturday nights—and offers elevated earnings through Citi Travel. More importantly, Citi ThankYou points can transfer to American Airlines. Richard and Ed debate whether the card's $595 annual fee and collection of credits make it compelling, particularly for travelers focused on accumulating AAdvantage miles. Ed also reports back from his first real Blacklane airport transfer. The experience was significantly more expensive than a typical Uber or Lyft, but also considerably better. Richard shares his experience with Blacklane pricing in New York and explains why Bilt Cash can make the premium easier to justify—especially for family airport trips where reliability matters. Finally, the guys dig into some special Chase Sapphire Reserve 10th-anniversary credits, and one jumps out at Richard: JSX. He's looking at a Teterboro-to-Miami flight for $699. Combine the $200 Sapphire Reserve JSX credit with another $100 referral credit, and Richard could potentially try the semi-private experience for just $399—less than the Delta economy fare he's seeing.   Get hydrated like Ed in Vegas with Nuun If you enjoy the podcast, I hope you'll take a moment to leave us a rating.

Matthew Toffolo interviewed Jessica Elizabeth Davenport about her multimedia project “Terminal 9," which encompasses a feature-length film, a comic book, and a soundtrack. Jessica explained that Terminal 9 originated from an unrealized architectural project for a new terminal at LAX and evolved into a creative world housing her mythical band Strictly Elizabeth. She detailed how she wrote the comic book and music, using AI technology to finish the soundtrack due to practical constraints. Jessica discussed her background in architecture and how it influences her multidisciplinary approach to storytelling. She also shared her vision for bringing Terminal 9 to the stage as a multimedia, community-driven experience. The conversation touched on the challenges of creative pursuits, the role of technology in both film and architecture, and the potential future of architectural design. —- Subscribe to the podcast: https://twitter.com/wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod —— Love for you to try the Indy Film Festival AP. • Daily new film festival of the best new films from around the world.

VOV1 - Dù đã tích cực triển khai nhiều giải pháp, nhưng kết quả mà tỉnh Sơn La đạt được trong công tác phòng chống ma túy chưa cao và chưa bền vững. Kỳ 3: Quét sạch bóng đen ma túyNăm 2022, qua thẩm định, đánh giá, Sơn La vẫn còn hơn 80 xã, phường, thị trấn; hơn 900 bản, tiểu khu, tổ dân phố; 8 cơ quan, đơn vị, trường học, trạm y tế có tệ nạn ma túy; hơn 400 bản, tiểu khu, tổ dân phố; 88 xã, phường, thị trấn thuộc diện trọng điểm về ma túy.Để từng bước đẩy lùi ma túy ra khỏi cuộc sống cộng đồng; hướng tới mục tiêu đưa Sơn La ra khỏi diện trọng điểm về ma túy của cả nước vào năm 2030 như Nghị quyết Đại hội Đảng bộ tỉnh lần thứ lần thứ XVI, nhiệm kỳ 2026 - 2030 đề ra, rất cần những quyết sách đủ mạnh và phù hợp. “Quét sạch bóng đen ma túy: Cần những quyết sách đủ mạnh!” là kỳ 3, cũng là kỳ cuối của loạt phóng sự “Sơn La: “Xây” những bản không ma túy giữa đại ngàn”. Từ thực tiễn tình hình tội phạm, tệ nạn ma túy trên địa bàn diễn biến phức tạp, tháng 1/2023, Tỉnh uỷ, UBND, Ban Chỉ đạo phòng, chống ma túy tỉnh Sơn La đã xây dựng, triển khai Đề án “Chuyển hóa, xây dựng xã, phường, thị trấn trên địa bàn tỉnh Sơn La không có ma túy, giai đoạn 2023 - 2025, tầm nhìn đến năm 2030”. Mục tiêu của Đề án là nâng cao nhận thức, phát huy vai trò, trách nhiệm của cấp ủy, chính quyền, ban ngành, đoàn thể các cấp và nhân dân trong công tác phòng, chống và kiểm soát ma túy; Củng cố, giữ vững các địa bàn không có ma túy; chuyển hóa địa bàn có tệ nạn ma túy, địa bàn trọng điểm, phức tạp về ma túy; xây dựng địa bàn xã, phường, thị trấn không có ma túy, giai đoạn 2023 - 2025, tầm nhìn đến năm 2030.Nỗ lực để nâng cao đời sống vật chất, tinh thần cho nhân dân

VOV1 - Sơn La quyết tâm xây bản làng không ma túy, phấn đấu đến năm 2030 ra khỏi diện trọng điểm. Cần quyết sách phù hợp, hành động quyết liệt, liên tục để ngăn tái nghiện và tội phạm ma túy.Tỉnh Sơn La nhiều năm nay vẫn được biết đến là một trong những địa bàn trọng điểm về ma túy của cả nước. Có thời điểm, địa phương này có gần 6.500 người nghiện có hồ sơ quản lý; mỗi năm, hàng nghìn người bị bắt giữ vì tham gia buôn bán, vận chuyển, tàng trữ, sử dụng các chất ma túy. Hệ lụy là nhiều gia đình tan nát, đói nghèo đeo đẳng; an ninh chính trị, trật tự an toàn xã hội bị ảnh hưởng, gây cản trở quá trình phát triển kinh tế - xã hội địa phương.Nhằm từng bước ngăn chặn, đẩy lùi, tiến tới quét sạch ma túy ra khỏi cuộc sống cộng đồng, những năm qua, Tỉnh ủy, HĐND, UBND tỉnh Sơn La đã ban hành nhiều chỉ thị, Nghị quyết; huy động cả hệ thống chính trị cùng vào cuộc, nỗ lực triển khai nhiều giải pháp, song đến nay, kết quả đạt được chưa như mong muốn, khi tỷ lệ tái nghiện còn cao; các điểm, tụ điểm, đường dây tội phạm chưa được giải quyết căn bản và triệt phá hiệu quả; số địa bàn được chuyển hóa còn thấp, chưa bền vững, nhiều địa bàn đã tái phức tạp trở lại…Để “xây” những bản làng không ma túy giữa đại ngàn, phấn đấu đến năm 2030 ra khỏi diện trọng điểm về ma túy của cả nước, từ đó giúp người dân yên tâm lao động sản xuất, phát triển kinh tế, rất cần sự quyết tâm hành động thường xuyên, liên tục, quyết liệt hơn nữa từ các cấp, ngành và mỗi người dân; đặc biệt là cần những “quyết sách” lớn, phù hợp. Đây chính là nội dung trong Loạt phóng sự “Sơn La: “Xây” những bản không ma túy giữa đại ngàn” của nhóm phóng viên VOV Tây Bắc.Bài 1:  “Ma túy và những hệ lụy đau thương”.

Bai Ling on House of Karma, Karma & Her Quarantine Romance with Toilet Paper Actress Bai Ling joins Keith Reza on Reza Rifts for a candid conversation about the independent film House of Karma, karma, energy, and what it really takes to build a lasting career in Hollywood. In this episode, Bai Ling opens up about playing the mysterious psychic Madame Emerald in House of Karma, why she believes in karma and past lives, and the difference between guerrilla indie filmmaking and big studio productions like Red Corner with Richard Gere. She shares her no-fear approach to acting, never learning the craft in a classroom, refusing to over-prepare, and just being present and truthful in the moment, plus the work ethic that keeps her booked on several movies at once, giving 100 percent whether the paycheck is $5,000 or $1 million. Bai Ling also tells the wild story behind her directorial debut, My Quarantine Romance with Toilet Paper, a comedy she wrote, directed, financed, and starred in during the COVID-19 pandemic. That includes her 36-hour escape from Kazakhstan when the borders slammed shut, being pulled aside at LAX by police officers who turned out to be big fans, and trading lattes and selfies for toilet paper when the shelves went empty. She also talks about her upcoming tell-all book, My Outrageous Romances in Hollywood, and the grandmother in northern China who taught her unconditional love. If you are an aspiring actor, filmmaker, or just love honest celebrity interviews, this episode is packed with heart, humor, and Hollywood wisdom. Guest Info: Bai Ling is a Chinese-American actress and filmmaker known for The Crow, Nixon, Red Corner, Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, and Crank: High Voltage. In House of Karma she plays Madame Emerald, a psychic whose larger-than-life energy steals the movie. Her directorial debut, My Quarantine Romance with Toilet Paper, which she wrote, directed, financed, cast, catered, and starred in during the pandemic, is on the way, along with her book, My Outrageous Romances in Hollywood.

LOST Season 6 Premiere Breakdown: “LAX” — The Endgame BeginsThe final season of Lost is here, and the endgame begins with “LAX”! In this episode of the Talkin' TV Podcast, we break down the explosive Season 6 premiere and everything it reveals, changes, and sets in motion for the final chapter of the series.After the bomb detonates at the Swan station, “LAX” immediately throws us into one of the biggest mysteries Lost has ever introduced: what exactly happened when Juliet triggered the detonation? The answer appears to be a reality where Oceanic Flight 815 lands safely in Los Angeles — but is this an alternate timeline, a reset, a glimpse into another reality, or something much more complicated?We go beat-by-beat through both sides of the episode, from the return to the Island and the aftermath of the Incident to the introduction of the Man in Black and the shocking revelation that he has been impersonating John Locke. We examine what this means for the mysterious figure who has been manipulating events on the Island for centuries, his connection to Jacob, and why the conflict between these two seemingly immortal forces is at the heart of the final season.We also dive into the episode's enormous Jacob reveal and the question that will drive the rest of the season: what does Jacob actually want from the survivors? Why were these particular people brought to the Island, and what role do Jack, Sawyer, Kate, Hurley, Sayid, and the others play in the conflict that has apparently been building long before they ever arrived?And then there's the Flash Sideways.Is this a world created by the bomb? A parallel universe? A version of reality where the Island never existed? Or could it ultimately be something entirely different? We explore the clues hidden throughout “LAX” and discuss what the new timeline might mean for the characters, the mythology, and the series' ultimate conclusion.From the Temple and Dogen to Sayid's shocking transformation, Claire's return, Charlie's fate, and the growing divide between the survivors, “LAX” wastes no time establishing that Season 6 is going to answer some questions while creating plenty of new ones.We'll examine the symbolism, mythology, character arcs, unanswered questions, and theories that make this premiere such a fascinating setup for the endgame of Lost.The final season has begun. The battle between Jacob and the Man in Black is underway. And after six seasons, we're finally starting to see what this entire story might have been leading toward.What is the Flash Sideways? Who is the Man in Black? What does Jacob's plan actually entail? And how does it all connect to the ultimate fate of the survivors?Let's break down “LAX” and begin the final journey through Lost. Be sure to keep coming back every week as we go through this final stretch of the show and make sure you subscribe for brand new content only on the #talkintvpodcast

Hour 4 (9.10) Three stories about consequences and one about a man who picked the wrong place to squat. We open by remembering two L.A. Kings scouts lost on 9/11, twenty-five years later. Then the billion-dollar lawsuit over the Boyle Heights warehouse fire, plus two Delta flights that lost cabin pressure in the same stretch. A Hollywood Hills home invasion victim whose story fell apart. And the City Council writing a check for the "no-cost" Olympics. 9:05 — 2 L.A. Kings Scouts Who Died on 9/11 Remembered 25 Years Later Garnet "Ace" Bailey, the Kings' director of pro scouting, and amateur scout Mark Bavis were aboard United Flight 175 out of Boston on September 11, 2001, headed to training camp. Bailey was 53. Bavis was 31. A quarter century later, the team still wears an "AM" sticker on the back of every helmet, and the Kings mascot carries Bailey's name. 9:20 — Billion-Dollar Blame Game & Delta's Bad Week Lineage Logistics is suing solar operator Altus Power and contractor Pearce Services for more than $1 billion, claiming they sparked the June 17 Boyle Heights warehouse fire that burned for over a week and left the neighborhood with foul air, rodents, and insects for months. The suit alleges roughly 200 faulty electrical connections were known about by May and the contractors re-energized the array anyway. Both companies deny it. Then: two separate Delta flights lost cabin pressure. On Flight 2311 out of LAX, the oxygen masks dropped and the 737 fell 27,000 feet in about ten minutes before diverting to Las Vegas. 9:35 — Wrong House, Wrong Night A man in Hollywood Hills West told police he was robbed and beaten during an overnight home invasion — five suspects, a gun, a stolen safe, and a getaway car. There was just one problem with his story. Police say he doesn't live there and wasn't house-sitting either. Investigators now believe the victim was a squatter, which means somebody picked the wrong house on the wrong night, twice over. It happened a day after a reported hot prowl at Quentin Tarantino's place. 9:50 — The "No-Cost" Olympics Starts Costing The City Council voted 8-3 to authorize $13.04 million in debt financing for 107 non-patrol LAPD vehicles for the 2028 Games — trucks, vans, mobile substations, hazmat rigs. A separate $30 million request for 300 patrol cars got pushed back for more review. Councilmember Eunisses Hernandez voted no and pointed out the obvious: L.A. was promised a no-cost Olympics, and the vehicle tab alone is headed north of $40 million.

Hour 2 (9.10) The alarm bells are coming from inside the building this hour. We start with the Anthropic researcher who quit and warned that AI could kill us all by 2030 — and the company insider who agreed with him. Then a billion-dollar lawsuit over the Boyle Heights warehouse fire, plus two Delta flights that lost cabin pressure in the same stretch. A Hollywood Hills home invasion victim whose story didn't hold up. And the City Council writing a check for the "no-cost" Olympics. 7:05 — AI Doomsday From the Inside A 27-year-old researcher named Jacob Coxon resigned from Anthropic this week and posted the reason on X, where it's racked up more than 150 million views. His claim: the people building this technology privately believe it could kill us all by the end of the decade, and both Anthropic and OpenAI are "racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives." Then it got stranger — Anthropic's own head of alignment publicly agreed, putting the odds of AI wiping out humanity at greater than 10% in the next decade. 7:20 — Billion-Dollar Blame Game & Delta's Bad Week Lineage Logistics is suing solar operator Altus Power and contractor Pearce Services for more than $1 billion, claiming they sparked the June 17 Boyle Heights warehouse fire that burned for over a week and left the neighborhood with foul air, rodents, and insects for months. The suit alleges roughly 200 faulty electrical connections were known about by May and the contractors re-energized the array anyway. Both companies deny it. Then: two separate Delta flights lost cabin pressure. On Flight 2311 out of LAX, the oxygen masks dropped and the 737 fell 27,000 feet in about ten minutes before diverting to Las Vegas. 7:35 — Wrong House, Wrong Night A man in Hollywood Hills West told police he was robbed and beaten during an overnight home invasion — five suspects, a gun, a stolen safe, and a getaway car. There was just one problem with his story. Police say he doesn't live there and wasn't house-sitting either.

Hour 1 (9.09) Eight Dana Point homes red-tagged, one already in the ocean, 75 yards of beach gone. In Sherman Oaks, In-N-Out keeps its lease. Pineapple Hill got 60 days. (155 characters) 6:05 — Football is back, which is the only good news in a day like this one. It's 108 in the Valley, Timmy's wife clocked 114 in the car, and a brush fire broke out along the 405 in the Sepulveda Pass just after 4:15. It closed the Getty Center and put Brentwood and Bel-Air under evacuation warnings. 6:20 — The fire — now called the Getty Fire — burned about 25 acres before crews stopped its forward progress. And Delta 2311 out of LAX never made Salt Lake City: the masks dropped over the Mojave, the 737 went from 36,000 feet to 9,000 in about ten minutes, and 181 people ended up in Las Vegas instead. 6:35 — Pineapple Hill Saloon & Grill has been pouring at 4454 Van Nuys Blvd since 1978. Angela Marsden got a 60-day notice to vacate on August 6 for a redevelopment — and the In-N-Out on the same lot has been told it can stay. She was promised her lease back after construction. Nothing in writing. Sign the petition https://www.change.org/p/save-pineapple-hill-saloon-grill? 6:50 — Down in Dana Point, roughly 75 yards of beach vanished in four days. Eight homes on Beach Road are red-tagged, three more yellow-tagged, one has partially collapsed into the ocean, and about 500 boulders are being trucked in to hold the line on what's left.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 2 (9.08) After decades of talk, Los Angeles finally gets a rail connection to LAX as the LAX/Metro Transit Center opens. Tim also tracks a Harbor Gateway crime sweep, an Arleta explosion, and live coverage of Southern California's peak high tides. 7:05 PM Tim recounts a rain-soaked stop in Antelope Valley on the drive back from Las Vegas before turning to a major transit milestone. The LAX/Metro Transit Center opens, linking Metro rail service to the airport via shuttle connections and setting the stage for future direct airport access. 7:20 PM A memorial service was held for Jackie the eagle, with attendees invited to share stories and memories at an open microphone. Tim highlights some of the tributes and the community response. 7:35 PM An explosion was reported after sparks at a construction site in Arleta ignited nearby materials. Tim also covers the Rams' upcoming trip to Australia for a regular-season matchup against the 49ers, a landmark event for the NFL's international schedule. 7:50 PM The LAPD conducted a major enforcement operation in Harbor Gateway, targeting criminal activity and announcing significant penalties for offenders. Later, Tim follows Southern California's high tides in real time as waves and coastal flooding threats reach their evening peak. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 4 (9.08) Screenwriter and director Billy Ray joins Tim for a wide-ranging conversation about friendship, filmmaking, sports, and his upcoming movie Animals starring Ben Affleck. Plus, Tim recounts a Las Vegas gambling mishap and checks out LA's newest transit link to LAX. 9:05 PM Tim spent the weekend in Las Vegas and accidentally locked away his gambling money in a hotel safe, creating an unexpected challenge. He also delivers a public-service announcement for drivers headed to and from Vegas: the left lane is for passing. 9:20 PM A rainy stop in the Antelope Valley gives Tim another chance to try his luck before heading home. He also looks at the LAX/Metro Transit Center, which connects Metro rail service to the airport area and expands public transit access for travelers. 9:35 PM Writer and director Billy Ray joins Tim in studio to discuss growing up together, the differences between male and female friendships, and the discipline required to build a successful writing career. Ray also previews Animals, the upcoming Ben Affleck thriller that he co-wrote. 9:50 PM Billy Ray sticks around to talk sports, reflect on Rob Reiner's impact on filmmaking, and discuss another recent project filmed at West Point. The conversation turns to storytelling, leadership, and the lessons that shape great films. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode of The Roundtable, we're examining the total collapse of the celebrity double life and asking a much larger question about modern public existence: when private behavior, corporate spin, and pervasive digital surveillance violently collide, can a manicured reputation ever survive contact with the real world?We begin with the sudden firing of longtime Wheel of Fortune announcer Jim Thornton by Sony Pictures Television following an alarming in-flight incident on an American Airlines flight to Los Angeles. From an observant passenger spotting disturbing chat room activity to mid-air photos showing panic-driven searches on how to erase digital footprints, we unpack the timeline that unravels his legal defense. We examine the illusion of digital anonymity and explore why heritage, family-friendly broadcast franchises are forced to act swiftly when illicit activity shatters the brand-safe persona.Then we examine the calculated choreography of reality television cross-pollination, dissecting Phaedra Parks and CT Tamburello's cozy, staged paparazzi stroll through LAX. We explore the emotional mechanics behind high-pressure competition series like The Traitors, analyzing how genuine trauma bonding is repurposed by network marketing machines to bridge disparate demographics into a shared reality TV universe—all while messy, unresolved real-world divorces play out in the social media comments.From there, we turn to the commodification of grief on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City following Angie Katsanevas confirming the end of her 27-year marriage to Shawn Trujillo. We analyze the dark reality of reality television's shade economy, looking at castmates weaponizing personal heartbreak for social media engagement and reunion storylines, and asking what happens to fundamental human empathy when family trauma is transformed into contract collateral.We also dive into the severe systemic failures of reality television background checks following the firing of Below Deck Mediterranean star Nathan Gallagher over domestic violence charges in Australia and an active international bench warrant in Ireland. We question how multi-million-dollar global productions routinely deploy less vetting security than a gig-economy app, examining the dangerous consequences when networks prioritize volatile, impulsive casting over basic human safety.Finally, we confront the grim legal reality facing KJ Biermann, the 15-year-old son of Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann, following a severe grand jury indictment in Georgia. We contrast the lighthearted, heavily edited bubble of docuseries stardom with the unyielding machinery of the criminal justice system, illustrating why voluntary polygraph tests and tabloid statements have zero currency when standing before a judge in a felony trial.Throughout the episode, one compelling question connects every part of these disparate stories: in an era where everyone carries a high-definition lens and the barrier between private spaces and public consumption has dissolved, are we witnessing the permanent extinction of the untraceable second life?Pull up a chair… the conversation about accountability, public perception, the failure of spin, and what really happens behind the headlines starts now.Disclosure: This episode of the "Roundtable" series incorporates AI-assisted technology in its creation and production.Executive Produced by Georgio Takounakis and 711 Media Hosted on Acast.

Hour 1 (9.04) Wheel of Fortune fired the announcer it's had since 2011. Six people in a small hatchback on Angeles Crest, four of them dead, and Marie's swell reaching the beaches tonight. 6:05 — Sony Pictures Television terminated Wheel of Fortune announcer Jim Thornton, days after suspending him, following what the studio called a thorough investigation. It stems from a complaint another passenger made about what she saw on his laptop during a May 14 American Airlines flight from Charlotte to LAX. Officers met the plane. Thornton was questioned briefly, was not arrested, and has not been charged. His attorney says he did nothing wrong and that he was in a support forum connected to suicide-prevention work he took up after losing a family member. Cro brings up Pete Townshend, arrested in 2003 in Britain's Operation Ore, who said he'd accessed a site as research tied to his own childhood — police cautioned him and put him on the sex offenders register for five years anyway. And the obvious question: is Conway the guy to take over the announcing job? 6:20 — The swell from Marie reaches Southern California late tonight. Six to ten feet on south-facing beaches, strong rip currents through the holiday weekend, and the worst of it at the south-facing spots. 6:35 — Zoox started running its driverless robotaxis to and from Harry Reid International in Las Vegas this week, the first fully driverless service at a US airport, with pickups at both terminals closer to baggage claim than the Uber and Lyft zones. Drivers waiting in the lot had mixed feelings — one full-timer said it'll take a lot of business; another said there's nothing they can do about it. Which leads to the real question: what can you make out there? Six days, twelve hours a day, seventy-five hours a week, a hundred and fifty bucks in gas, and about fifteen hundred at the end of it. Plus, the customizable-speed idea. Zoox of Hazard. 6:50 — Six people were in a black 2016 Hyundai Veloster heading east on the Angeles Crest Highway between Big Pines and Wrightwood around 1:34 this morning. The car drifted right, left the road, rolled down the embankment, and hit a power pole. Five of the six were thrown from the car. Four were pronounced dead at the scene. All six were from Wrightwood. CHP says nobody was belted in and that alcohol is likely a factor. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode of The Roundtable, we're examining the catastrophic failure of modern crisis public relations when meticulously curated reputations collide with undeniable evidence, asking a much larger question about our digital age: when every commercial flight and private filing is subjected to constant surveillance, does the carefully manicured celebrity persona even stand a chance against the mechanics of reality?We begin with the shocking suspension of longtime Wheel of Fortune announcer Jim Thornton following a deeply disturbing in-flight incident on an American Airlines journey from Charlotte to Los Angeles. With photographic evidence surfacing of explicit in-flight chat forum messages and subsequent questioning by law enforcement at LAX, we look into the defense's claims of an accidental link click connected to suicide prevention advocacy. We analyze the severe timeline discrepancies that challenge that defense, dissect the jurisdictional challenges faced by airport police, and unpack why family-friendly broadcast institutions are fundamentally unequipped to absorb the fallout of illicit digital footprints.Then we examine the rapid evaporation of the boundary between private space and public consumption. Looking back at the historical era of celebrity travel, we trace how first-class cabins and private enclaves once provided a protective buffer for public figures, and how high-definition smartphone cameras, ubiquitous Wi-Fi, and civilian surveillance have turned every public setting into a digital panopticon. We analyze the pure corporate arithmetic governing brand safety, morality clauses, and advertiser risk when heritage television institutions are forced to act.From there, we turn to the escalating and deeply bitter legal warfare between Vanderpump Rules and The Valley personalities Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright in Los Angeles family court. Dissecting competing restraining order petitions that feature jarring personal insults, allegations of sabotaging sobriety, and anxieties over lost reality television contracts, we explore how years of producing personal trauma for cable cameras rewires human relationships. We reveal how family court filings are increasingly deployed not merely as protective legal measures, but as calculated preemptive PR maneuvers aimed directly at network executives and television viewers.Finally, we dive into the profoundly serious legal developments surrounding Kroy Biermann Jr., the teenage son of former reality television fixtures Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann, following a sweeping seven-count grand jury indictment in Georgia on severe sexual assault charges. We pull back the curtain on how grand juries operate and dissect the defense's public reliance on polygraph claims and academic accolades. We confront the uncomfortable collision between calculated entertainment spin tactics and the uncompromising reality of the criminal justice system, highlighting how proximity to reality television fame complicates high-stakes criminal proceedings.Throughout the episode, one compelling question connects every part of these disparate stories: in an era where public figures genuinely believe they can rewrite facts through crisis spin, has our entertainment ecosystem become so accustomed to manufactured narratives that stars actually believe they can edit the law—or are we witnessing the inevitable end of the human celebrity brand?Pull up a chair… the conversation about brand preservation, courtroom warfare, public accountability, and what really happens behind the headlines starts now.Disclosure: This episode of the "Roundtable" series incorporates AI-assisted technology in its creation and production.Executive Produced by Georgio Takounakis and 711 Media Hosted on Acast.

We begin Episode 58 with one of the great questions of our time: why is everybody bringing their dog to the airport now? After seeing dogs everywhere at LAX—and hearing two cats meow their way through an entire flight—the crew falls directly into a pet-themed rabbit hole that somehow gets stranger from there.First up, we discover where getting bitten by a dog can really ruin your afternoon. A study looked at dog attacks, insurance claims, exposure to dogs, and legal protections for victims to determine the worst states for dog bites. New York takes the unfortunate overall crown, while Florida leads when it comes strictly to your chances of actually getting bitten. Meanwhile, dog-related homeowner insurance claims are becoming wildly expensive, and mail carriers continue doing one of the bravest jobs in America: walking directly toward houses containing animals that absolutely hate their pants.Naturally, this leads our funny podcast into science proving—or at least studying—something most pet owners already know: we talk to our animals like they're people.Not just “sit” and “stay,” either. We mean full conversations.The crew admits to giving pets updates before leaving the house, whispering compliments to one dog so the other one doesn't hear, telling cats “I love you,” debating which pet is secretly the favorite, asking dogs what they want to watch on TV, and generally treating animals like tiny roommates who contribute absolutely nothing financially.Rafe talks to Bo like an old man with stories from the good old days. Lern has to navigate the complicated politics of loving three cats while knowing Clover is her original girl. And the dogs have apparently learned how to spell W-A-L-K, meaning humanity has officially lost its last tactical advantage.Then we crack open the listener emails, where things take a surprisingly wholesome turn. One listener shares his sobriety story and how an embarrassing moment on a Cub Scout camping trip ultimately became the motivation that changed his life. Years later, he was able to talk about that experience with pride—and we're genuinely glad he shared it with the show.Don't worry. We immediately ruin the emotional maturity by talking about Tim Curry movies.That sends the crew back to 1993's The Three Musketeers, Tim Curry as Cardinal Richelieu, Charlie Sheen, Kiefer Sutherland, Chris O'Donnell, Oliver Platt, and the gloriously over-the-top “All for Love” combination of Bryan Adams, Rod Stewart, and Sting. This funny podcast briefly becomes a 1990s movie-and-music appreciation society nobody asked to join.Finally, a listener asks a dangerous question for people who have spent years working in radio: what song have you heard so many times that you never need to hear it again?For Lern, the answer comes with absolutely zero hesitation: Georgia Satellites' “Keep Your Hands to Yourself.” She doesn't merely dislike it. She appears prepared to personally campaign against its continued existence on rock radio. Moon considers years of Foo Fighters and Shinedown exposure, while everybody tries to figure out which songs have permanently embedded themselves into their brains after decades around radio stations.It's pets, dog bites, cats with emotional leverage, Tim Curry nostalgia, listener stories, radio grievances, and one increasingly personal feud with the Georgia Satellites. In other words, another completely normal funny 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.

Things start surprisingly deep when Lern talks about listening to Rafe's appearance on The HoneyDew, where he discussed difficult experiences from childhood and finding comedy in darker moments. He explains the idea of turning life's lowlights into highlights, everybody agrees that nobody escapes childhood completely unscathed, and for one fleeting moment this sounds like a mature conversation between emotionally intelligent adults.Turns out King Scott likes his coffee like he likes his women... According to former Starbucks professionals, black-coffee drinkers might enjoy torturing themselves, caramel macchiato fans barely want coffee at all, vanilla-latte people play it safe, Frappuccino drinkers are basically ordering milkshakes, matcha people might be doing it for the aesthetic, and macchiato drinkers know exactly what they want—and apparently want the barista to know that they know.McDonald's fries enter the conversation. So does the Wendy's Frosty, Taco Bell's spicy potato soft taco, the Frisco Melt, Lion's Choice, Dairy Queen onion rings, Rally's fries, Del Taco, Freddy's and more. Nobody reaches a universal consensus because democracy has failed once again.Things somehow become less appetizing when the crew discovers a Walgreens three-in-one product described as a douche, enema and water-bottle combination system. There are some household products where “multipurpose” is a selling point. This may not be one of them.The show then gets into a study suggesting men have a complicated relationship with dieting, including the idea that some men may respond better to “goals” and “challenges” than the word “diet.” Rafe offers his own theory after seeing wildly confident dudes criticize women online while looking, in his words, like a thumb melting into a suit. Poetry remains alive in St. Louis.And because the current calendar apparently isn't irritating enough, Moon brings up a viral proposal to replace our 12 months with five beautiful 73-day monstrosities: Jebruary, Maple, Jaugust, Soctober and Nissember. Is a 73-day Jaugust horrifying? Absolutely. Are we intrigued by Soctober? Unfortunately, yes.Then Tupac conspiracy content leads into a survey asking whether Americans believe they could successfully fake their own deaths. Younger adults are more confident. Older adults have apparently lived long enough to understand that the IRS, prescription refills and bill collectors are undefeated.Du Quoin, Illinois is having a rough week, and this one hits close to home.Massive downtown fire in Du Quoin. Multiple businesses were destroyed, including Home Lumber Company, BJ's Garden Inn and other properties along the downtown business district. Making an already difficult situation even worse, the fire happened during the Du Quoin State Fair, one of the biggest economic weeks of the year for the small Southern Illinois community.From there, September 3rd's collection of completely necessary national holidays introduces National Welsh Rarebit Day, which briefly causes confusion over whether anyone is eating a rabbit. They're not. It's cheese. That discovery leads directly to Worcestershire sauce, pork-steak marinades and the shocking revelation that Rafe doesn't own a grill.After talking with Tim Virgin, she introduces a potential reality-dating concept called Rock Hard Island. The premise involves eligible bachelors from St. Louis rock radio, women applying to date them and enough trash-TV energy to immediately attract hypothetical sponsors. There isn't actually an island involved, but that's apparently a minor logistical concern. Even more alarming: sales is interested.Then Lern takes over for Crap on Celebrities with a packed entertainment rundown. There's a documentary about late Rush drummer Neil Peart featuring Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and fellow drummers including Stewart Copeland, Chad Smith and Danny Carey. Rush is also headed back to St. Louis, giving Moon another chance to see a band he thought he'd never get to experience after Peart's death.The crew runs through villains ranging from Cruella de Vil and Scar to Patrick Bateman, Magneto, John Doe and Dr. Evil, proving once again that this daily comedy show can turn almost any entertainment list into an argument.Finally, Moon breaks down which music genres are supposedly most popular in different states based on search trends, with pop leading the country, metal putting up an impressive fight and Sleep Token emerging as a heavily searched metal act.We ask one of the great questions of our time: why is everybody bringing their dog to the airport now? After seeing dogs everywhere at LAX—and hearing two cats meow their way through an entire flight—the crew falls directly into a pet-themed rabbit hole that somehow gets stranger from there.The crew admits to giving pets updates before leaving the house, whispering compliments to one dog so the other one doesn't hear, telling cats “I love you,” debating which pet is secretly the favorite, asking dogs what they want to watch on TV, and generally treating animals like tiny roommates who contribute absolutely nothing financially.That sends the crew back to 1993's The Three Musketeers, Tim Curry as Cardinal Richelieu, Charlie Sheen, Kiefer Sutherland, Chris O'Donnell, Oliver Platt, and the gloriously over-the-top “All for Love” combination of Bryan Adams, Rod Stewart, and Sting.

Plus, how the chain got as big as it did. 9:20 — Andrew and Peggy Cherng, co-founders and still the owners.

Get ready to hear about a California politician who's been accused of harassment, a bizarre incident on an Orange County bus, and a brazen robbery in San Jose. But that's not all - we're also diving into the world of government overreach and the absurdity of California's one-party state.This episode is a real eye-opener, folks. Our guest, Susan Shelley, joins us to talk about the Local Taxpayer Protection Act, a ballot initiative that aims to make it harder for politicians to raise taxes without a supermajority vote. But that's not all - we're also discussing the California Energy Commission's decision to remove 70% of tires from the market, forcing consumers to buy more expensive "green" tires. And let's just say it's not looking good for the people of California.We're also talking about the people mover at LAX, which is still not operational despite being finished years ago. It's a classic example of government inefficiency and waste, and we're breaking down the details. And if that's not enough, we're also discussing a bizarre incident on an Orange County bus, where a man was caught doing something that's just not acceptable in public.So if you want to hear more about these stories and get the inside scoop on what's really going on in California, tune in to this episode of the John Phillips Show. Join us as we dive into the world of politics, government overreach, and the absurdity of California's one-party state.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We spared no expense for the final round of the dumb off today. And by that we mean we spent no money at all, but we did have brand new songs, customized intros, and a brand new shiny sash for the winner! The finals came down to Vanessa, Johnny, and Ally. Vanessa was at a disadvantage because she has a back-to-school cold, but at the end of it all the results, as usual, were contested. Ally got a unique request for an upcoming wedding, which brought up the question: how big of a gift do you get for a wedding you spent tons of money to attend? We heard some highly disturbing stories during our interactive Box of Shame today. We heard from a woman who stole laughing gas from her dental office, a lady who ran over her mom's dog and never told her, and a guy who crapped his pants at LAX. But haven't we all?

Some weeks the conversation just goes where it goes. Evan and Cormac spend this one reading Wikipedia and AI overviews at each other in real time — the AIA convention ping-ponging from Philadelphia to Los Angeles, SoFi Stadium sunk 100 feet into the ground for the LAX flight path, its cable-net roof that expands and contracts like a tennis racket until Cormac christens it a "thermal reactive umbrella." Along the way: stadiums built as war memorials, U2 tours, and Public Enemy's opening statement in Birmingham.Underneath the tangents is a real question for the profession. The Architecture Billings Index (ABI) has sat below 50 for a year, job confidence is low, and the flagship AIA convention costs each attendee around $1,500 before tours and CEUs. This episode is especially relevant for architects deciding whether that show is still worth attending when the economy is soft — and anyone who's quietly started reading the convention as an expense instead of an investment. It's a loose, funny episode that lands somewhere honest.

Hour 1 (8.14) Shadow found company four days after Jackie died. KD-1 is 4½, banded, and she's already rearranging Jackie's sticks. Conway can't quit Jackie! Jackie died on August 10 after nearly a month of intensive care at the Ojai Raptor Center, following her rescue near Big Bear Lake. Shadow's last nest visit had been July 23 — then on August 10, hours after her death was announced, a young, banded eagle called KD-1 turned up at the nest. She hatched in the Prado Basin in 2022, about 70 miles from Big Bear, and biologists say she's just about old enough to mate. We get into it, plus the LAX train that finally has a date.

Jeff's lavender obsession has always been a family joke — until it's the only thing that gets his bag back. In this episode, Jeff traces a family trip to the lavender fields of Provence that spirals into a canceled flight, a four-hour security line in 100-degree heat, and ten days of missing luggage, resolved only when a familiar scent leads him through a restricted door at LAX. This is the ninth episode of Diaries of a Dance Dad, an audio memoir series in Jeff's own words. It spans the full arc of parenthood: the inhale of birth and early chaos, the grind of no sleep and travel with kids, the gut-punches of failure, and the slow exhale of letting go.
