Podcast appearances and mentions of David Letterman

Three years before the first episode of SNL. Four years before the first episode of SCTV. Martin Short, Eugene Levy, Gilda Radner. Andrea Martin and later Dave Thomas, co-starred in a legendary production of a musical called Godspell at the Royal Alexandra Theatre in Toronto.The show that launched the careers of a whole generation of comedians is now the subject of a new doc at TIFF. Appropriately titled, You Had to Be There: How The Toronto Godspell Ignited the Comedy Revolution, Spread Love and Overalls, and Created a Community that Changed the World (In a Canadian Kind of Way).Today we speak with someone who had a front row seat to it all. Paul Shaffer, of Letterman fame, but who back in the days of Godspell was just a kid from Thunder Bay gigging in strip clubs on Younge Street. That is, until he landed the job of musical director for the play that would change the comedy world as we know it.Caleb Thompson (Audio Editor), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)Reported by Ilana GordonFact checking by Julian AbrahamAdditional music by Audio NetworkFurther Reading:You Had to Be There at TIFFYou Had To Be There - IMDBYou Had To Be There - TrailerSponsors: Squarespace: Check out Squarespace.com/canadaland for a free trial, and when you're ready to launch use code canadaland to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain.Douglas: Douglas is giving our listeners a FREE Sleep Bundle with each mattress purchase.

This episode of The Other Side of the Bell, featuring our own podcast host and trumpeter John Snell, is brought to you by Bob Reeves Brass. This episode also appears as a video episode on our YouTube channel, you can find it here: "Getting to know John Snell"   Who is the man behind the microphone?   You've been asking for a long time, 12.5 years and 138 episodes in fact, and today's the day: it's time to put John Snell himself on the other side of the bell!   John is the steadfast presence at Bob Reeves Brass, from the shop to the studio to the numerous conferences and events he attends every year. Many of you have met him in person over the years, and with our increasing number of video episodes, you have a better sense for what he's like.   Yet his story has only emerged in bits and pieces over all that time and all those episodes, and warrants the spotlight just as much as any of the wonderful guests who have stopped by the podcast since 2013.   And who better to interview John than the gregariously awesome Vinnie Ciesielski, who was himself a guest on The Other Side of the Bell, Episode #93 back in September of 2021.   Vinnie and John chat about how John grew up to follow in the footsteps of his professional trumpet-playing father, Keith Snell, yet forged his own path through his education, musical styles and interests, before a sudden complete career U-turn that proved to give him another solid professional foundation, alongside his continued passion for music.   And behind it all, for the past 20+ years, there's been Bob Reeves Brass. John talks about first meeting Bob and being taken under his wing, before returning with a law degree in hand to rescue the business, provide stability for Bob and his wife into retirement, and maintaining Bob's principled approach to business and customer service.   Thank you to Vinnie for encouraging the idea and bringing this episode to life, and thank you to all of our wonderful listeners and viewers for your continued support.   Don't forget to share this and other episodes with your friends in the trumpet world and beyond, and send us your thoughts and feedback!

Our summer tradition at Here’s the Thing continues, as staff members choose their favorite conversations from the archives for our Summer Staff Pick series. This week, we revisit Alec’s conversation with David Letterman, who began his Late Night gig as a self-described “gap-toothed, unknown smart ass.” Three decades later, Letterman reflects on how his comedy evolved, why he no longer makes every decision behind the scenes, and life after “stupid pet tricks.” He shares with Alec his path from weatherman to talk show host to guest-host of The Tonight Show—and how both a quintuple bypass and the birth of his son shifted his priorities.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For over thirty years, Adam Scott has been one of the most engaging, hilarious, versatile actors we have working today. Born in Santa Cruz, California, Scott, the son of two teachers and the youngest of three children, sent all of his schooling in The Golden State, as he was a graduate of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. Post college, Scott started to get acting gigs in several feature films like Star Trek: First Contact, The Lesser Evil, High Crimes, and a notable supporting role in The Aviator, sharing scenes with Leonardo DiCaprio. At the same time, he had made a name for himself on the small screen with appearances on shows like Boy Meets World, Party of Five, and as a love interest on Six Feet Under. Growing up, Scott always dreamed of becoming either the next Al Pacino or David Letterman, becoming obsessed with Pacino as a beacon of acting for a generation as well with Letterman's obscure sense of humor tickling his funny bone. It's funny how life works out, because as Scott was making his mark in more dramatic work, the summer of 2008 changed his career forever when he starred in the latest comedy from director Adam McKay, Step Brothers, and without any improve skills to his resume, was able to land giant laughs opposite the biggest comedy star of the time, Will Ferrell. From this moment, things took off for Scott, as the following summer saw the release of the cult comedy television classic, Party Down, which followed a group of caterers in Los Angeles as they hope to make it in Hollywood. The show was cancelled after two seasons in 2010 (though it was brought back in 2023 for a third season), but as that door closed for Scott, another one opened with his role as Ben Wyatt on Parks and Recreation, a state auditor who slowly becomes the love interest for Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler). As a fan of the acclaimed NBC show, I can say that the best thing to happen to Parks and Recreation was the addition of Scott as Ben Wyatt, delivering one of the funniest characters on the show as well as one of the best television couples of the last twenty years. Since his time with the gang from Pawnee, Indiana, he's continued to showcase his range as an actor, with guest comedic spots on shows like The Good Place and Veep, was part of the ensemble for Big Little Lies, appeared in the sequel to Wet Hot American Summer, and even hosted comedic physical game show called Don't in 2020. But all of this work has lead him to the biggest role of his career so far as Mark on hit Apple TV+ drama, Severance. From the mind of creator Dan Erickson, Severance follows employeesat a mysterious company called Lumon Industries that have undergone a procedure known as “severance” to ensure that they have no memories to the outside world while they are at work, with no memory of their work life once they leave the building. This creates then the idea of an “innie” and “outie” personality within one's self, which would be dangerous if the worlds crosses, but that's exactly what happens to Mark at the end of season one, as he and his other colleges at Lumon briefly are able to bring their innie selves into the real world in their outie's body. The second season grapples with the repercussions of the rebellious Lumon employee's actions, as well as goes down various rabbit holes to show that the company that Mark works for is various dangerous as well as a deeper, personal connection to him that he could've ever known. It's riveting, thought-provoking, thrilling television that has slowly become the best show on television in large part to the excellent writing by Erickson, the inventive direction by Ben Stiller, and the incredible work by the show's massive ensemble, led by Scott, who in season two, not only gives the best performance of his career so far, but the best performance by any actor on television this year. In his glowing review of the season, our television editor Tyler Doster stated that Scott was “at his best this season,” finding “a new hunger” within his performance that grows this season as the mystery around Mark and the other characters begins to take shape. In my in-depth conversation with the Emmy nominated actor and producer, we discussed the anticipation of filming season two, the differences in playing Mark S. and Mark Scout, how trust is a key theme throughout the second season, and what it is like to be part of a global television phenomenon similar to The Twilight Zone and Lost; two shows that mean a lot to him and speak to the power of character forward storytelling. We also spoke about the dueling romantic relationships Mark finds himself in, what it is like working with co-stars Britt Lower and Dichen Lachman, the technical challenges of filming the camcorder and running sequences found in first and last episode of the season, as well as his versatility as a character actor; moving from drama to comedy, and how that helped him form who Mark is. In between all of this, Scott shared his favorite flavor of Gatorade, the need for bananas when performing stunts on set, his fondness for his time on his other beloved television series Party Down and Parks and Recreation, and why he loves the Fast and The Furious franchise. From comedy to drama to everything in between, Scott can do it all, and with Severance, he's showcasing a confidence of an actor who is destiny to continue to empty the tank until it's time to punch out his time card a long time from now. Adam Scott is Emmy-nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for the episode "Cold Harbor" of Severance. Music: Severance, Opening Title Sequence: Season 2 (intro) and “B-3” from BoxCat Games Nameless: The Hackers RPG Soundtrack (outro).

Voici un film coloré, gay, et fort bien coiffé, jʹai nommé Hairspray, de John Waters, une comédie sortie en 1988. Mais comment dire…. Hairspray est une réalisation du pape du mauvais goût, du cinéma trash américain, qui, ici, met de lʹeau dans son vin ou de la laque dans ses cheveux, pour proposer un film un peu plus familial que ses œuvres précédentes. Mais ça reste particulier. Hairspray est un film qui va vous interpeler. Déjà parce quʹil vous donnera envie de danser. Cʹest un film qui se moque des émissions de télévisées des années 60 où des jeunes gens, blancs si possibles et pas trop moches, se trémoussaient sur un Madison, un Mashed Patato, un Twist, ou toute autre danse du moment. Ensuite, parce quʹil résonne bizarrement. Derrière la danse, le glamour, les paillettes et les coupes de cheveux incroyables, se cachent des réalités sociales et sociétales que John Waters dénonce : le racisme et lʹexclusion des gens différents du paysage médiatique, en lʹoccurrence, mais également de tout un pan culturel contemporain. Les années 60 à Baltimore, la ville de John Waters, ne sont pas tendres pour les Afro-américains ni pour les obèses ou les personnes en surpoids. Hairspray est un film criard, avec des comédiens et comédiennes un peu brut de décoffrage, avec pas mal dʹartistes reconnus comme  Sonny Bono, ex-compagnon de Cher, Debbie Harry, la chanteuse de Blondie, avec Ruth Brown, chanteuse, the Queen of R&B, avec Pia Zadora et plein de jeunes gens dont Ricki Lake qui interprète le personnage principal. Hairspray, premier film grand public de John Waters est aussi le dernier de Divine,  son acteur fétiche, un travesti obèse décédé peu après. Mais nous allons vous raconter tout ça. Nous avons des archives, des interviews, des extraits, et beaucoup de musique. Place à la critique sociale, au pastiche et à la danse dans Travelling.

Episode 175 of The Letterman Podcast is our quintessential summer vacation episode — and we mean that literally and hilariously.While spending time at Irene Hoffman's stunning generational property by the sea in Greece, three beloved friends of the show — Rupert Jee, Irene Hoffman, and Steve Young — decided that a Letterman Podcast must be done. And what a delightful episode it turned out to be!Mike connects with the gang as they recount their Mediterranean adventure, including highlights of their trip, the laughter they shared, and the creative magic that struck while they were basking in Grecian sunshine. Steve, known as one of the all-time great writers from Late Show with David Letterman, continues to evolve as a brilliant and absurd performer, and this scenic getaway only amplified his creative genius.This is a relaxed, joyful, and thoroughly entertaining installment that reminds us how the Letterman family keeps finding ways to surprise and inspire — even halfway across the world.This episode is brought to you by our only sponsor — the legendary Hello-Deli.com — the one-stop shop for official Late Show with David Letterman merchandise, run by the one and only Rupert Jee.If you enjoyed this episode, we'd love it if you'd like, share, subscribe, and leave a positive comment.

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 14ú lá de mí Lúnasa, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1987 tháinig sé amach go raibh cúpla ospidéal chun dúnadh de bharr moladh ó dhuine ag an bharr. Bhí siad chun 1600 leaba ghéarchúraim a gearradh I gcóir na ndaoine a raibh ag iarradh cúram práinneach. I 1998 fuair an scuad diúscartha buamaí glaoch chun dul chuig tí nuair a fuair cailín aois 9 ngránáid láimhe nuair a fuair siad barrithir. I 1971 don chéad uair I gcúpla bhliain níor chuaigh Uachtaráin De Valera chuig an seó talmhaíochta in Inis. I 1998 bhí duine páirceáilte In Fhiacail thar oíche agus nuair a dhúisigh siad ar maidin, bhí a charr imithe. Ghoid duine é agus bhí 11 míle dollar laistigh. Sin Katy Perry le I Kissed A Girl – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 2008. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1993 fuair Freddie Mercury a chéad uimhir a haon singil sa Bhreatain lena hamhráin Living On My Own. I 1995 chuaigh The Foo Fighters ar an teilifís don chéad uair ar The Late Show le David Letterman agus chan siad a amhrán nua This Is A Call. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Halle Berry I Meiriceá I 1966 agus rugadh aisteoir Steve Martin I Meiriceá I 1945 agus seo chuid de na rudaí a rinne sé. Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 14th of August, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1987: it was reported that hospitals were facing closure threats following recommendation by a top health committee to cut 1600 acute beds for patients who need urgent care. 1998: The army bomb disposal unit was called to a home when a 9 year old girl found a hand grenade in a delivery of topsoil. 1971: For the first time in many years President de Valera did not attend the Co.Clare Agricultural show in Ennis. 1998: A tourist who stayed overnight in Feakle had their parked car stolen with property valued at $11,000 inside. That was Katy Perry with I Kissed A Girl – the biggest song on this day in 2008 Onto music news on this day In 1993 Freddie Mercury had his first solo UK No.1 single with Living On My Own. 1995 Foo Fighters made their network television debut on The Late Show with David Letterman when they performed their new single 'This Is A Call'. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – actress Halle Berry was born in America in 1966 and actor Steve Martin was born in America on this day in 1945 and this is some of the stuff he has done. I'll be back with you tomorrow with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.

Episode originally aired on April 11, 2023 “Writing is not what you start,” writes podcast guest Nell Scovell in her scathingly funny memoir Just the Funny Parts. “It's not even what you finish. It's what you start, finish, and put out there for the world to see.” Indeed, Nell offers this observation from a place of hard-won experience. A veteran television writer (“Newhart,” “The Simpsons,” “Late Night with David Letterman,” “The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour,” “Murphy Brown,” “Coach,” and on and on), Nell understands what it means to get an idea on its feet and out in front of an audience. As Sheryl Sandberg's collaborator on the #1 New York Times best-seller Lean In, she helped to create a guidepost for a generation of women looking for a shared compass point in their lives and careers—a book Nell says she wishes she'd read at twenty-five, as a woman working in the male-dominated field of television comedy, instead of helping to write at fifty-two. Join us as Nell reflects on a lifetime working in collaboration with some of the brightest (and least accommodating!) minds in television, on what it was like to write jokes for President Obama at the White House Correspondent's Dinner (“Obama, out!”), and on what it was like to be Spy magazine's first staff writer, and a contributor to Vanity Fair, Vogue, and The New York Times.

Episode 174 of The Letterman Podcast features the triumphant return of Johnny Mac, host of the Daily Comedy News podcast.In this special mashup episode, two late-night–loving forces collide as Johnny and Mike dive deep into the current state of the genre. With Stephen Colbert's exit looming large and a whirlwind of speculation sweeping through the comedy world, there's no shortage of hot topics to unpack.The conversation includes thoughtful (and occasionally hilarious) takes on the future of every major late-night host, a look back at recently resurfaced comments from Jay Leno, and of course, some insight into David Letterman's reaction to the latest chaos.This isn't about one show — it's about an entire genre seemingly slipping through our collective fingers.

Our exit today has us fighting ghosts and trying to get a date to another prom. This week, we are looking at two spoofs that attempt to satirize two genres that were very big at the time. First, we are going to talk about Scary Movie 2, written by Shawn Wayans, Marlon Wayans, Alyson Fouse, Greg Grabianski, Dave Polsky, Michael Anthony Snowden, and Craig Wayans and directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans. Next, we are going to talk about Not Another Teen Movie, written by Mike Bender, Adam Jay Epstein, Andrew Jacobson, Phil Beauman and Buddy Johnson and directed by Joel Gallen. Both films employ a plethora of writers to try and craft sharp parodies or spoofs. But do more writers mean more laughs?Along the way, we discuss Tim Burton, She's All That, David Letterman, Tim Curry, Vanilla Sky, many teen actors, the emergence of Chris Evans, Natasha Lyonne, Marlon Brando, and why one of these movies works so much better than the other!Thememusic by Jonworthymusic.Powered by RiversideFM.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CFF Films⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ with Ross and friends.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Movies We've Covered on the Show⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Letterboxd.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Movies Recommended on the Show⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Letterboxd.

Never Walk Alone | The Holy Spirit and the Church (Week 1) | John 14:16–19, 26–27In the first message of our new series The Holy Spirit and the Church, we explore Jesus' promise that we are never alone. In John 14, He assures His disciples—and us—that the Holy Spirit will come to live with us and in us, guiding, comforting, and empowering us every step of the way.Whether you're facing uncertainty, fear, or simply feeling isolated, this message reminds us of the powerful truth: we never walk alone. The Spirit of God is present, active, and closer than we think.

Two weeks ago, when Paramount cancelled “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” insiders in Hollywood and Washington alike deemed the move suspicious: Colbert had just called his parent company's payout to Trump a “big fat bribe” on air. Paramount, for its part, claims that the decision was purely financial—Colbert's show is losing forty million dollars a year. But both the political and economic explanations reveal how the landscape of late night has changed since Johnny Carson's day. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz consider Colbert's body of work and the state of the genre more generally, from the so-called late-night wars of the nineties through to the modern challenge of making comedy in a country where nothing feels funny anymore. “Late-night hosting is an art, but it's also business. So, if your job is to get as many eyeballs on you as is humanly possible, what do you do?” Schwartz says. “It's not easy to have fun with the news, as it is. And if you are having fun with it, something may very well be wrong.”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Strangers with Candy” (1999–2000)“The Daily Show” (1996–)“The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” (2015–26)“The Staying Power of the ‘S.N.L.'

In the late '80s, John Candy's hit a rough patch with a string of underwhelming films—Hot to Trot, Speed Zone, and Who's Harry Crumb. But a creative reunion with John Hughes soon put him back on track, leading to some of the most memorable roles of his career. In this episode, we chart Candy's quiet resurgence and surprising pivot into sports ownership, as he becomes a co-owner of the Toronto Argonauts and proves there's always more than one way to steal the show.John Candy: The Lou Gehrig of Comedy is a series that honours the timeless humour and heartfelt performances of John Candy, star of hits like Splash, Planes, Trains and Automobiles, and Home Alone.Follow us on our socials: Instagram, Bluesky, LinkedIn, YouTube & SubstackWritten & Hosted by Ryan BarnettProduced by Ryan Barnett & Sonia GemmitiRecorded by Tyler RaumanAdditional voices by Matthew Barnett & Sean QuinlanA Knockabout Media ProductionAdditional audio material:Later with Bob Costas, Late Night with David Letterman, Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, Columbia Pictures, CBC.

"Xtra Cherries" An aspiring baseball player with a solid fastball, the Illinois-born Chip Znuff put down the glove in favor of the bass and he left home at 17 going west with his punk rock band D-Generation. The D Generation story is told best by Chip himself, so I'll leave that one to him, and I'll cover what happened after that band broke up. Licking his wounds from his first time around on the rock and roll train, Chip formed Enuff Z'Nuff in 1984. Inspired by everyone from The Rasberries to Cheap Trick to Squeeze, Enuff Z'Nuff had pop hearts filled with hooks, but they were marketed as glam metal dudes, which led them into that lane, but it was probably a misrepresentation of the band's real chops. If you listen to the music and and ignore the image, they come across more like a tougher version of Jellyfish. Nevertheless, they made it work; in spite of their image, hits from their debut self-titled album like Fly High Michelle and "New Thing" were catchy blasts of ragged psychedelia that found the band all over MTV. Their follow-up record Strength found them looking decidedly less glam and it garnered rave reviews from Rolling Stone and the Washington Post and they absolutely crushed it on Letterman. Over the course of their career, Enuff Z'Nuff has toured all over the world, been on Howard Stern numerous times, been featured on VH-1, played on the Jenny Jones show, had Little Steven sing their praises as one of the most underrated bands on the planet and have put out close to thirty albums, including greatest hits and live recordings. Although the band has had its share of tragedies, losing members like Derek Frigo and Rickey Parent and its share of personnel changes with singer Donnie Vie stepping away from the band on two separate occasions, Enuff Z'Nuff are survivors. Chip took over vocals in 2014 and the band has never sounded better. Their new album Xtra Cherries has a deep bench, featuring Steve Stevens, Robin Zander of Cheap Trick, Donnie Vie, Gunnar Nelson and Steven Adler, who Chip played with in Adler's Appetite. The album is a refreshing blast of gritty pop that's played with muscle and heart, each track finding the band tearing the cover off the ball. https://enuffznuff.bandcamp.com/album/xtra-cherries https://www.enuffznuff.com/music www.bombshellradio.com (http://www.bombshellradio.com) www.stereoembersmagazine.com (http://www.stereoembersmagazine.com) www.alexgreenbooks.com (http://www.alexgreenbooks.com) Stereo Embers: Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com (mailto:editor@stereoembersmagazine.com) BLUESKY + IG: @emberspodcast

Stigall realizes it's not everyone's cup of tea, but late night variety television is his passion. News yesterday that Stephen Colbert and the Late Show franchise started by David Letterman 30 years ago on CBS, and more than 40 years ago on NBC has now been cancelled. It comes on the heels of NPR and PBS losing their tax payer subsidies and the rise in conservatives and anti-woke comics. It's a story few are talking about but evidence of the Trump era's impact goes well beyond politics in DC. Speaking of, Stigall lays out the list of policy wins of this administration as it comes under attack yet again from - of all places - the Wall Street Journal. How does the former White House spokesman Sean Spicer see it? Meet the Republican candidate for governor in Michigan, Mike Cox. And if you think you're having a rough week, imagine being caught having an affair with a colleague on the big screen of a concert.

Join Jim and Greg for Friday's 3 Martini Lunch as they explain how much they won't miss The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Zohran Mamdani's inability to understand why we need prisons, and a Philadelphia high school's attempt to cancel Benjamin Netanyahu..First, while they don't celebrate job losses, Jim and Greg welcome the news that CBS is shutting down The Late Show next year. They explain how Colbert and his peers poisoned late night television with relentless left-wing politics. The move comes the same day Congress officially defunds PBS and NPR, a major conservative goal for decades.Next, they react to Democratic New York City mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani, who questions whether prisons serve any real purpose and suggests people only support them for emotional reasons. And don't look now, but more and more mainstream Democrats are embracing Mamdani. Jim and Greg also laugh at GOP nominee Curtis Sliwa's brutally honest take on the legacies of Eric Adams and Andrew Cuomo..Finally, they shake their heads as Cheltenham High School near Philadelphia considers a student petition to remove a picture of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from the school's hall of fame. This leads Jim and Greg into a conversation about high school halls of fame and what criteria should be required for getting removed from a hall of fame.Please visit our great sponsors:If your business can't adapt in real-time, you're in a world of hurt.  Get the free e-book “Navigating Global Trade: 3 Insights for Leaders” from NetSuite by Oracle.  Download today at https://NetSuite.com/MARTINI No missed calls, no missed customers with OpenPhone.
