Podcast appearances and mentions of David Letterman

Dr Zielgard has written FAITH. It is a baseball story involving Manuel, his magic bat and the world's series of 2008. Rosa Maman Tour de l'Isle is a sorceress that wishes the doctor dead because she blames him for being responsible for her daughter's death. Since the doctor died the day she announced and she claimed after the fact full responsibility for the dead, D.A. Ollie Devott accused the witch of murder one. She will be found guilty and executed ten years later.Real estate agent Phil Leclerc finds the Faith manuscript into the Zielgard's house, send it to lawyer Morin that shows the piece to his friend Peter Artritis who works at Oracle publishing. Artritis will steal the material and publish it years later under his own name. Faith will prove a resounding success. Hollywood will make a movie out of it. Artritis will be invited to the David Letterman late show.Meanwhile, Irma Sanchez will read FAITH and recognized herself, her mother and mother's boyfriend in the book. Enough for her to conclude Artritis can't have authored the tale. She gets herself invited in the show and will confront Artritis in front of an audience of million.Available on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4AjnmGi

Colleen had a salt mishap in the office yesterday, Jason and Holly had their Bids for Kids Ronald McDonald House dinner last night, tomorrow is this year's Project Down and Dirty reveal and we speculate, and a $12,000 late library fee for a 19th century magazine -- and we miss magazines!Wait, casting "The Beverly Hillbillies" with myTalk staff could be an INCREDIBLE Project Down and Dirty, Zsa Zsa Gabor and David Letterman riding through the drive-thru is one of TV's best moments and we take a deep-dive into Zsa Zsa lore, AITA: For telling her friend why she isn't invited? And we call Bea Arthur to convince her that our "Beverly Hillbillies" PD&D idea is great.SCREEN QUEENS: We're all hate-watching "Double Lives of Suburban Wives" at this point, and new taglines for "RHONY."

Drop us a message! We'd love to hear from you.299 episodes. 10 lessons learned. Episode 300 shares them all!  In this special milestone episode, our host Matt Pierce is going back to the 90s and doing it David Letterman style! Over 4 years ago Matt created this podcast, and in this week's episode, we celebrate this journey by reflecting on every lesson learned. Matt counts down his top 10 lessons on video, covering everything from recording gear, audience attention spans and AI. Along the way, he shares a personal story about a hard lesson in knowing what your audience actually wants to hear. So sit down, get comfortable, and don't forget to take notes, as Matt shares his 299 episodes' worth of wisdom! Learning points from the episode include: How a rough, to-the-point video can often beat a highly produced one, especially in tutorial content where the goal is clarity, not flash. What matters is relevance, not length. Matt uses the debunked "goldfish attention span" myth to show that people don't have short attention spans, they have low patience for content that isn't relevant to them. Why human judgment matters more than ever, now that AI makes content easier to produce. Matt says AI can generate output, but it can't tell you whether that output is good. That's still on the creator. Important links and mentions: TechSmith Academy: Learn how to use and create better images and videos (for free): https://www.techsmith.com/learn/tutorials/academy/    Got a story about how long a video took you to make?

I've kept a mission log and deployment journal since Afghanistan, and this episode is me reading straight from it. This is the story of Mission 24, mid-September 2010, five months into deployment, when a "there and back" 48-hour mission to escort our battalion commander up to Sangin turned into 108 hours of broken trucks, four IEDs, and pure Murphy's Law. I don't tell war stories often, but this one is a perfect example of what execution actually looks like when everything is falling apart around you, and why that skill is exactly what gives service members an edge in business.   Timestamps (00:00) - Intro (00:29) - Mission 24 Deployment Journal (02:06) - Convoy Departs Afghanistan (03:03) - First IED Strike (04:41) - Mine Roller Repairs (08:18) - Paperwork Delay Sparks IED (08:57) - Third IED in 50 Yards (11:40) - Live Mortar Rounds Found (14:00) - Letterman's Cigarette and Pizza (17:52) - Executing Through Chaos   About the Show On the Military Millionaire Podcast, I share real conversations with service members, veterans, and their families.

Welcome back to 2 Bears 1 Cave! This week Tom Segura and Bert Kreischer dive right in with Jelly Roll's headline-grabbing Kimmel monologue where he addressed the president as "from one fat pig to another." Bert then takes full credit for Jelly Roll's weight loss and the entire genesis of the Two Bears 5K, because technically he was in the room when that casually became a thing. They also have exciting news, a new 5K is coming in April and it's going to be bigger than ever. From there, Bert opens up about the panic attacks he's been having, severe, physical, and rooted in something he now understands: a complete lack of childhood bedtime structure. Tom grew up getting nightly Catholic prayers, a sign of the cross from mom, and the full rosary in the car for any trip over ten minutes. Bert grew up watching Letterman alone at nine years old at 3am while his dad slept off a ten mile run. The bears compare notes on childhood bedtime routines, how they each put their own kids down now, and what sleep anxiety looks like when it hits a grown adult, including Bert's most recent 36-hour panic attack that started when a friend told him he yawns too much and he forgot how to do it. He couldn't yawn for a day and a half. He finally yawned in couples therapy. That's where we are. They also get into Mel Gibson getting lightly canceled for mocking a sign language interpreter (on the scale of Mel Gibson incidents, this doesn't even register), a game of complimenting Salma Hayek on the one thing she's never heard in her 60 years on earth, Tom Hardy's new rap album, Jonah Hill's white belt jiu jitsu bravado and whether he'd actually beat Jason Bateman's ass, the Eddie Bravo black eye that made Bert walk out of a jiu jitsu class without ever taking his jeans off, and the Times Square Stabber whose fat padding made every taser completely ineffective and whose stabbing motion made this incident appear beyond ridiculous at first. 2 Bears, 1 Cave Ep. 338 https://tomsegura.com/tour https://www.bertbertbert.com/tour https://store.ymhstudios.com Gambling Problem?

On September 17, 2001, David Letterman came back and didn't do a monologue. Jon Stewart came back the same night and cried on camera before becoming recognizably himself again. SNL came back September 29 with Lorne Michaels asking Rudy Giuliani if it was okay to be funny, and Giuliani delivering the best line of the night. Bill Maher said something true at the wrong moment and lost his show. Gilbert Gottfried made a 9/11 joke at the Friar's Club three weeks later, got booed, and pivoted into the Aristocrats and won the room back. Johnny Mac — a New Yorker who was there — traces how comedy came back after the attacks, what it cost the people who pushed too early, and what the whole episode tells you about what comedy is actually for.What did David Letterman say when he came back after 9/11?"– "What did Jon Stewart say on The Daily Show after 9/11?"– "What was the SNL cold open after 9/11?"– "Why was Bill Maher fired after 9/11?"– "What did Gilbert Gottfried do at the Friar's Club after 9/11?"– "When did late night shows come back after 9/11?"– "What did Rudy Giuliani say on SNL after 9/11?"– "How did comedy change after 9/11?"– "What was the first 9/11 joke told by a comedian?"– "Did the Comedy Cellar stay open after 9/11?"Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/daily-comedy-news-with-johnny-mac--4522158/support.Today's DCN is brought to you by MyBookie use promo code DCN!Daily Comedy News is hosted by Johnny Mac and releases every weekday.

The Story of Mike Marsh: The Agency, Dashboard Confessional, Touring & MoreIn this episode of the Florida Sound Archive Podcast, we're joined by Mike Marsh, whose journey from the South Florida punk scene eventually led him to Dashboard Confessional, The Avett Brothers, and some of the biggest stages in music. This is one of the deepest dives Mike has taken into his story, covering more than three decades of music, touring, friendships, success, addiction, recovery, and everything in between.Mike looks back at growing up in Kendall, discovering punk rock and drumming, and finding his place in the South Florida music and skateboarding scene of the 1990s. From there, we get into The Agency, its origins, recordings, and more.The story then moves into Dashboard Confessional, with founder Chris Carrabba and bassist Dan Bonebrake, and Mike's role in helping take Dashboard from its South Florida roots to MTV, MTV Unplugged, Madison Square Garden, David Letterman, and beyond. Mike also talks openly about what came with that success, including addiction, touring, and the realities of life in a rapidly changing music industry. He also touches on his time in Denny's Unit and Seville, who would later tour with Dashboard Confessional.Later, Mike shares how a move to Nashville eventually led to recording with Scott and Seth Avett, meeting Rick Rubin, and becoming part of The Avett Brothers. He also talks about sobriety, recovery, rebuilding relationships, reconnecting with old friends and bandmates, and continuing to make music with both The Agency and The Avett Brothers.It's a conversation that covers a lot of ground, but at its heart, it's Mike telling his story in his own words. From South Florida clubs and skateparks to some of the biggest stages in the country, there are plenty of stories along the way.

Bill Maher sits down with longtime NBC News anchor Brian Williams (AKA the James Bond of nightly news) to talk about what happened to network news—and what America lost along the way. Williams explains how newscasts became consumed with East Coast weather and “water-skiing squirrel” filler, and why he believes Democrats lost touch with working-class voters. Away from the anchor desk, Williams shares the double life few viewers knew about: nearly five decades as a volunteer firefighter in New Jersey, near-broke beginnings in Kansas, and why he has avoided alcohol after losing his brother to alcoholism. He recalls meeting his wife in a television control room, tearing up at his daughter Allison Williams's first Letterman appearance, watching his son build his own career in local news, and returning with Netflix's We're Back! With Brian Williams. Call him 007 – licensed to anchor, fight fires, and make his mother proud.

It's Maher in his familiar element: one-on-one vibes, unfiltered laughs, and the kind of freewheeling banter only he can deliver. ABOUT BILL MAHER Bill Maher was the host of “Politically Incorrect” (Comedy Central, ABC) from 1993-2002, and for the last 23 years on HBO's “Real Time,” Maher's combination of unflinching honesty and big laughs have garnered him 41 Emmy nominations. Maher won his first Emmy in 2014 as executive producer for the HBO series, “VICE.” In October of 2008, this same combination was on display in Maher's uproarious and unprecedented swipe at organized religion, “Religulous.” Maher has written six bestsellers: “True Story,” “Does Anybody Have a Problem with That? Politically Incorrect's Greatest Hits,” “When You Ride Alone, You Ride with Bin Laden,” “New Rules: Polite Musings from a Timid Observer,” “The New New Rules: A Funny Look at How Everybody But Me Has Their Head Up Their Ass", and most recently "What This Comedian Said Will Shock You".

(2:01:05-2:13:26) – The voice of the Indiana Hoosiers, Don Fischer, joins Jake Query to preview the season opener for IU against North Texas on Saturday afternoon. Their conversation starts by discussing the quarterback IU will be facing, the unknown nature about North Texas with so many new faces, believes Indiana’s defensive line will be much better than last season, and identifies tight end as a position group that he’s got some questions about.

Arj Barker! Comedian! Actor! Friend! Delight! More! Arj's new comedy album The Mind Field is out now from Blonde Medicine! We have a great talk and you can have a great listen! ABOUT ARJ BARKER: Barker started his comedy career in the 90s as a dare but quickly dropped out of college to focus on the craft. Through the years he developed his distinct performance style, characterized by heavy sarcasm, absurd logic, and a stage persona that blends unwavering confidence with hilarious ignorance. After 35 years of late-night stand-up sets, acting and writing for the stage and on TV, and headlining shows of all sizes, he remains a beloved, globe-trotting powerhouse in the contemporary comedy landscape. On The Mind Field, Arj Barker encourages the audience to reflect on questions insufficiently explored by science: What is consciousness? Is it stored in the brain or is there a bigger reality somewhere beyond our minds? "Having lost my best friend quite suddenly a few years ago, these questions took on more urgency, and this stand up that formed around that." says Arj.  On the album he also explores equally important topics like meditation, masturbation, and travelling over an hour to eat mediocre pizza. Barker wraps up the album with a song about drinking too much coffee in Australia, which he brings to life with a harmonica, inspiring the audience to sing along.  MORE ABOUT ARJ BARKER: Acclaimed stand-up comedian and actor Arj Barker's early career took shape in San Francisco during the early 90s, where he hosted a regular open-mic night at Café Nuvo. His breakthrough arrived in 1997 when he won the prestigious Perrier Best Newcomer Award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. He became a frequent fixture on late-night TV, making multiple stand-up appearances on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, The Tonight Show, and The Late Show with David Letterman. He has hosted many Comedy Central Presents specials, co-written and starred in the Off-Broadway parody show The Marijuana-Logues in 2004 and joined the cast of the hit HBO sitcom Flight of the Conchords in 2007. For decades Barker has been a headline regular and record-breaking ticket seller at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and the Adelaide Fringe. Now living in Australia, Barker has achieved monumental status as an adopted superstar there. His widespread appeal across Oceania has been bolstered by regular appearances on major Australian television programs such as Thank God You're Here, Rove, and Spicks and Specks. He has released several top-selling comedy albums and live specials, including the ARIA award winning DVD Organic and co-wrote and starred in The Nut Farm in 2024. FOR EVEN MORE ABOUT ARJ BARKER...

00:00:57 — “Now Featuring Words”: Parker welcomes everyone to the “250th episode” and announces that the show now features words, which feels like an ambitious rebrand. 00:01:16 — All Fingers and Toes: The crew says they are broadcasting with all their fingers and toes, which becomes accidentally relevant later when the episode turns into death talk. 00:02:20 — Antonio Ben Fred: Fred starts doing an accent, Parker asks him to get closer to the mic, and the whole show briefly becomes a bootleg international lounge act. 00:03:05 — Spain Is Mexico's Canada: The geography lesson nobody requested arrives early and confidently. 00:04:48 — Hayden Panettiere Name Disaster: The crew tries several versions of Hayden Panettiere's name and lands somewhere between Italian restaurant and medical condition. 00:07:02 — Death Investigation for Pizza: The guys realize a nearby location has a pizza place, and Fred immediately sounds more interested in lunch than detective work. 00:07:08 — Crab Rangoon Pizza: The idea of crab rangoon pizza nearly derails the celebrity death segment, because BLC can mourn and menu-plan at the same time. 00:11:23 — RIP Dolly: The crew switches into sincere mode for Dolly Parton, which is rare enough to be its own special effect. 00:13:14 — Dolly Parton Day: The guys decide 9/25 should become Dolly Parton Day because of “9 to 5,” then start moving other national holidays out of her way. 00:15:19 — Make Room for Dolly: National Comic Book Day, Lobster Day, Quesadilla Day, and One Hit Wonder Day all get pushed aside because Dolly gets priority. 00:16:36 — BLC Hall of Fame: Dolly gets officially inducted and becomes the first BLC Hall of Famer with her own show holiday. 00:16:48 — Dolly's Letterman Clip: The crew remembers Dolly telling David Letterman that people talk about one part of her body, but she has “a great ass too.” 00:21:59 — Tim Curry Left This Mortal World: Tim Curry becomes the third icon in the episode's death-trifecta conversation, kicking off a massive filmography riff. 00:23:21 — Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties: The Tim Curry credits get increasingly strange, proving the man really was in everything. 00:24:28 — In Memoriam Before the Year Ends: The crew decides August is close enough to do an in-memoriam segment. 00:32:06 — Food News Begins: After a death-heavy first half, the crew pivots into Food News, because nothing heals grief like crackers and bad decisions. 00:32:56 — Fred Tries Matzo: Fred opens the matzo, smells cardboard, takes a bite, and immediately realizes the bit has betrayed him. 00:33:09 — “A Piece of Tile”: The matzo is described as backsplash, cracker, cardboard, and something large enough to hide behind. 00:34:11 — The Talking Matzo: Parker suggests Fred use the matzo as a face prop and become “the talking matzo,” which is probably a better character than planned. 00:36:44 — Matzo ASMR: Fred cracks the matzo near the mic while the crew treats it like high-end audio content for people with very specific problems. 00:37:04 — Fred Wants to Eat It but Hates It: The guys observe Fred repeatedly bringing the matzo close to his mouth, then pulling it away like it personally hurt him. 00:38:46 — Pro-Jelly, Anti-Jam: BLC takes its boldest food stance yet: “pro jelly, fuck your jam.” 00:41:17 — Coca-Cola vs. Jesus: The crew discusses the outrage over Coca-Cola allegedly blocking “I love Jesus” on custom bottles while rumors claimed Satan phrases got through. 00:43:35 — “I Love His Shoes”: Parker offers the perfect workaround for blocked Jesus Coke: just write “I love his shoes.” 00:46:31 — Questionable Meat: Imported meat, mystery sourcing, screw worm panic, and fast food distrust enter the chat. 00:48:24 — Screw Worm Joins the Show: The screw worm gets a voice and starts talking about meat, which is exactly as gross as it sounds. 00:55:05 — First-of-Its-Kind Bacon: Everything bagel-seasoned thick-cut bacon arrives, and Fred immediately starts questioning why anyone would mess with bacon. 00:57:39 — Stop Messing With Bacon: The guys reach food-news consensus: bacon is already great. Leave it alone. 01:00:16 — Upside Betrayal: Parker explains why the Upside app lost him forever after one denied submission. 01:01:23 — QT Hot Dog Trap: Fred remembers missing the $2.50 hot dog deal by one day and suddenly paying eight dollars for two gas station hot dogs. 01:03:15 — Thanks for Glistening: The episode ends with “thanks for glistening,” which is either a typo, a lifestyle, or the next BLC merch line. #blcpodcast #podcastingforthepeople #funny #podcast #greenvillesc #scpodcast #yeahthatgreenville Listen at: https://americasfavoritepodcast.com Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/blcpodcast/ Check us out on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blcpodcast/ Buy Fred and Allan Beer: https://www.patreon.com/blcworld

John is back and ready to dive into the madness of the current political landscape. He talks about the absurdity of Donald Trump renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America and the implications of such antics on international relations. John shares his recent experiences in Europe, including a poignant family funeral, and reflects on the ridiculousness of Trump's behavior as he continues to play to his base.As they discuss the fallout from the recent catastrophic flooding in Nepal and the ongoing humanitarian crisis, John emphasizes the importance of supporting vetted organizations that can provide real help. The conversation also touches on the digital divide in education, with insights from Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath, who highlights the negative impact of classroom technology on children's learning and attention spans.Then, he is joined by comedian Myq Kaplan - who has performed on The Tonight Show, Conan, the Late Show with David Letterman and the Late Late Show with James Corden. Twenty years into his comedy career, and nearly a decade into his relationship with Rini Voskressensky, the two collaborated to craft a deeply personal project that is equal parts a comedy special and a thesis on love. In this heartwarming and hilarious project named after his partner, Myq offers advice to his past dumb self while discussing his evolving thoughts on traditional marriage, polyamory, quantum physics, psychedelics, music, God, and more.Listeners are invited to call in and share their thoughts on everything from the latest political shenanigans to personal anecdotes about their own birthdays and experiences. The episode is a blend of humor, heartfelt moments, and critical discussions about the state of the nation and the world.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Johnny Mac records poolside while his basement studio is cleaned, noting he finally got the pool reasonably clean. He's surprised his college students don't know Bill Burr, briefly comments on Theo Von's podcast with Nate Bargatze, and revisits why a Rosie O'Donnell late-night show “is just not gonna happen,” citing her age, budget pressures, and that Netflix couldn't draw viewers to John Mulaney's late-night show despite high-profile guests like David Letterman, Jerry Seinfeld, and others. Drawing on his radio experience, he argues Mulaney's show was misproduced because it should have focused on individual guests, following a “Johnny Carson theory.” He also mentions Rosie responding to a White House comment with a Trump photo, and shares a Cleveland.com story about an Arthur Treacher's opening in Lakewood, including Bob Hope's role in helping launch the chain.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/daily-comedy-news-with-johnny-mac--4522158/support.Today's DCN is brought to you by MyBookie use promo code DCN!Daily Comedy News is hosted by Johnny Mac and releases every weekday.

Poolside, Johnny Mac reports on comedy and entertainment news, noting Dolly Parton's death at 80 and sharing resurfaced clips from David Letterman's 1995 “Top 10 Dolly Parton Pet Peeves” and an edited Johnny Carson segment. He also says Tim Curry has died at 80. Other items include Stephen Colbert posting a video, and a New York Post/Page Six report that Christina P performed days after her separation headlines and joked about Tom Segura, with sources saying the material is an older set now read differently. He recounts Rosie O'Donnell posting an unflattering photo of the U.S. President, Andrew Santino's failed SNL attempt against Pete Davidson, Katt Williams returning as a PGA Tour on-course correspondent, and new golf-comedy content.

This week on CounterSpin: The US news media marked the anniversary of August 2021's nominal withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan. A New York Times story explained that Taliban flags were “flying high along the streets of Kabul,” but that the deeper truth is that “the Taliban are holding Afghan society in a chokehold that spares no one.” But, the paper alleges, “The Taliban know the world wants a stable Afghanistan—one that isn't a source of refugees, drugs or terrorism.” I don't have enough breath to describe the hypocritical fantasizing in that sort of statement. But CounterSpin has hosted numerous reporters, researchers and activists over the course of the decades of devastating US intervention in Afghanistan—which did not, in fact, suddenly and righteously begin in the wake of the September 11, 2001, attacks. We'll hear some of those conversations this week. And I will say, there has been some attention rightfully paid to the abandonment of Afghans who, at great danger to themselves, helped US troops, and who are now treated as yet more brown hordes seeking to sneak into the US. But those historical, human rights–based conversations are being overwhelmed by storylines like that from the Times, that talks about Afghanistan's “fragile peace” being “already at risk,” every bit as though the United States hasn't played a monumental role in making that peace impossible. And while we're reimagining history, please recall Dan Rather, on David Letterman on September 17, 2001, describing his definition of his job as journalist: “George Bush is the president, he makes the decisions, and, you know, as just one American, if he wants me to line up, just tell me where.” We're going to hear from Phyllis Bennis from the Institute for Policy Studies; from Matthew Hoh, senior fellow with the Center for International Policy; and Sonali Kolhatkar, host/producer of Rising Up With Sonali, and author—most recently—of Breaking ICE: Community Defense Against State Terror and MAGA Fascism. And there is much more about Afghanistan on FAIR.org. CounterSpin provides a critical examination of the each week's major news stories, and exposes what the mainstream media may have missed in their own coverage. Produced by the national media watch group FAIR (Fairness and Accuracy In Reporting). The post CounterSpin – Phyllis Bennis (2021), Matthew Hoh (2021) and Sonali Kolhatkar (2010) on Afghanistan CounterSpin appeared first on KPFA.

What if the thing that made you feel different turned out to be your greatest strength?Aaron sits down at the world famous Laugh Factory with David Fuhrer, whose remarkable ability to talk backwards took him from childhood talent shows to The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson and David Letterman—and eventually launched an entirely unexpected career as a toy inventor.David shares how struggling in school shaped his self-esteem, but also pushed him to find his own way of thinking and creating. That different perspective helped lead to hundreds of toy inventions, including the Nerf Vortex football and Aquadoodle, before opening the door to an unlikely second act as CEO of the Laugh Factory.The conversation moves from creativity and neurodiversity to reinvention, comedy, and the power of laughter to bring people together. From autism comedy shows and programs for at-risk kids to creating spaces where people from very different backgrounds can laugh in the same room, David has come to see comedy as more than entertainment—it can be a source of connection, belonging, and hope.Sometimes moving forward starts with seeing the world a little differently.

At thirty-nine, Cat Pierce had no marriage, no career, no baby, and no plan. If you did the math on her life the way we're all quietly taught to, she was failing. The music money was gone. The marriage was over. She had never been the one left before, and suddenly she was. And then she said the thing that made me put my pen down. Underneath all of it, she felt a flicker of freedom. Because for the first time she could admit she wasn't fulfilled, and now she got to build the life she actually wanted. I found Cat the way half the internet did, one of those videos where her whole inner monologue plays across her face without a word, and I've been a little mesmerized ever since. I wanted to know what she was drinking. Turns out the answer is a life she made twice. First act: signed at nineteen, fifteen years on the road with her sister, opening for Coldplay and Elton John, writing the song that became the sound of an entire generation. Second act, the one that got me: a beauty line she started while trying to conceive, a tarot deck she drew by hand and published, a New York Times feature, a memoir, and a daughter she had at forty-four with donor eggs and a husband she called in by writing him down on a list. None of it happened on the timeline she thought she was failing. That's the whole thing. We get into the rockstar years and what fifteen years of needing to be seen quietly did to her. The collapse, and the strange grace that grew out of it. Whether she believes we're all a little bit witches. And the line I keep repeating to every woman I know: you can miss every timeline you ever set for yourself and still land somewhere better than the place you were aiming. This is for the woman who watches everyone else hit the milestones and keeps quietly moving her own goalposts back. The one grieving a version of her life that never showed up, not yet realizing a completely different one already did. You are not behind. You are not late. You're just early to a life you haven't met yet. This is Cat Pierce. New episodes of Not Alone every Wednesday. Subscribe so you never miss one.

I'm working on a book about my Afghanistan deployment, and going back through my old mission logs and journals turned up some memories I haven't talked about publicly before. In this episode I run through nine of the weirdest, most random things I still remember from that time, from eating what I'm pretty sure was dog meat in Thailand to watching a herd of goats get wiped out because they wandered too close to a jumpy ally unit. It's not the kind of deployment content you'd expect, but it's honest, and it's part of why I'm writing this book in the first place.   Timestamps (00:00) - Intro (01:18) - Mission 24 Begins (03:01) - First IED Strike (04:00) - Mine Roller Breaks Down (08:23) - Paperwork Delay Sparks IED (09:15) - Third IED in 50 Yards (12:15) - Live Mortar Rounds Found (14:01) - Letterman's Cigarette and Pizza (17:36) - Executing Through Chaos   About the Show On the Military Millionaire Podcast, I share real conversations with service members, veterans, and their families.

The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour 2 (8.12) Timmy’s studio is packed with comedy royalty tonight as he welcomes Zoe Friedman and Amber J. Lawson, co-founders of the nonprofit Comedy Gives Back — the real safety net for stand-up comics who need a hand. Next week they’re hosting the annual 818 Benefit: Brody Stevens Festival of Friendship Show at The Comedy Store in West Hollywood, raising money for comedians in crisis. Zoe’s dad was the legendary Budd Friedman, founder of The Improv (now 23 locations strong), the man who discovered Adam Sandler and managed Jay Leno. Speaking of Leno… who’s that calling the hotline? Zoe also booked talent for David Letterman and helped develop shows like “Crank Yankers,” “The Man Show,” and “Loveline” at Comedy Central. The duo was close with the late Brody Stevens, the larger-than-life 818 comic from Reseda, which is why this benefit means so much. Rounding out the hour, KFI’s own House Whisperer Dean Sharp calls in to plug his new website, housewhisperer.design — the go-to resource for anyone looking to turn their ordinary house into an extraordinary home.

What if the biggest thing standing between you and financial confidence isn't money—it's shame? Molly and Emese sit down with Haley Sacks, better known as Mrs. Dow Jones, host of the podcast Financial Tea and New York Times bestselling author of Future Rich Person. Haley shares how she went from comedy writer to one of the internet's most trusted financial educators by making investing, wealth building, and financial confidence feel approachable instead of overwhelming. After going from comedy writer for David Letterman and Lorne Michaels to one of the internet's most trusted financial voices, Haley has made it her mission to prove that building wealth doesn't have to be confusing, intimidating, or reserved for "numbers people." Together, they unpack why so many women have been taught to avoid talking about money, how to stop letting fear drive financial decisions, and the simple habits that can help anyone feel more confident about investing and building long-term wealth. Plus: why "playing it safe" can actually hold you back, the power of monthly "money dates," how to have better conversations about finances with your partner and parents, smart strategies for buying secondhand luxury, why investing in yourself often pays the biggest dividends, and the account every parent should consider opening for their kids.

Joe tackles AOC's political future, explaining why she'll skip a grueling presidential run in favor of a comfortable primary challenge against Chuck Schumer. He exposes the chameleon-like accents of New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani and the hypocrisy of corporate media anchors running interference for progressive politicians.Later, Joe details the double standards and rising tensions in the WNBA, dissects Abdul El-Sayed's defensive mathematical gymnastics regarding Medicare-for-All taxes, and delivers a throwback to a time when prominent liberals like David Letterman and Jimmy Carter actually championed common-sense voting guidelines.

Six years of Irritable Dad Syndrome. Hundreds of arguments, questionable observations, fast-food encounters, marital grievances, Kroger incidents, and stories that really didn't need to be told publicly.And now we've gathered the best of Year 6 into one episode.In The Best of Volume 6, revisit Darin's painfully patient attempt to buy two strawberry pies from a Popeyes employee, Mike being interrogated by a stranger at Kroger about his choice of crinkle-cut fries, and the discussion that somehow turns the entire cereal aisle into a spectrum ranging from sexual repression to Fruity Pebbles. You'll also hear Darin seek Mike's expert marriage counseling after Libby wears his good David Letterman hat outside, Mike explain why his wife was absolutely NOT allowed to remove a sticker from his pristine U2 concert program, and Darin's Thanksgiving encounter with a Tennessee state trooper who simply wanted him to “do better.” And then there's “Just put that anywhere”—a stupid little phrase that escaped the podcast, infected their wives and children, and will someday follow Mike and Darin all the way into the nursing home.If you're a longtime listener, these are some of the moments that made Year 6 special. If you're new to Irritable Dad Syndrome, this is probably the worst possible introduction to Mike and Darin.Which makes it the perfect place to start.Episode 321: Just Put That Anywhere — The Best of Volume 6.#IrritableDadSyndrome #ComedyPodcast #FunnyPodcast #BestOf #GreatestHits #DadHumor #Comedy #PodcastComedy #FunnyStories #MarriageHumor #DadLifeSupport the showThank you so much for listening to this episode!  If you like what we do, please check out our other content!

Send us Fan MailFriendly greetings, pod listener and follower of the TGTPTU. Stay excite: Season 17's concluding 1x1s of very special one-off movies cultivated by show regulars continues this week with host Tom's pick of a fellow Tom's directorial debut, that being distant relative of Al Green and the rapper, the writer, the MTV's late-90's darling with a hit show and #1 single, the Tom of all trades, Ontario Canada's very own (and once Drew Barrymore's very own before she made what has to be the greatest regret of her life, I mean, even more than dancing on David Letterman's desk or falling for the two killers in Scream or being Steven Spielberg's goddaughter or in that third Adam Sandler movie, even if it meant she could later date Justin Long, that regret being her amicable divorce from…) Tom Green and his co-written and lead role in his romantic-inspirational-comedy magnus opus, FREDDY GOT FINGERED (2001).  The film that help give rise to the American indie wave of small-budget (under $15M) studio comedies at whose crest would launch the careers of such luminaries as Todd Phillips, Adam McKay, and David Gordon Green (no known relation to Tom) follows the trials and tribulations of a misunderstood, aspiring cartoonist Gordon “Gord” Brody (played by Tom Green) as he, through increasingly charming and absurd antics, reconnects with this father (played by Academy Award-winner Rip Torn), re-earns the love of his paraplegic girlfriend (played by Marisa Coughlan), and, by believing in himself and his slanted view of the world so strongly, wins over the head of an animation studio head (played Anthony Michael Hall) with a marginally fictionalized version of his life experiences and thereby elevates himself out of the grind of service industry and factory work and is able to vacay with his daddy.   This seminal and often overlooked work of the early 00s was the wellspring for new types of movie humor and visual storytelling. It is alleged that Al-Qaeda delayed their deadly attacks until after film had its worldwide release so they could catch it as an inflight movie. They had rightly suspected that their attacks on 9/11, originally commissioned by the Bush Administration for 4/11 (MIHOP), would shut down theaters and movie exports. Unfortunately, these same attacks would irrevocably change the face of comedy in the 00s, altering the tenor of the humor landscape, as discuss this episode. Given its highly personal nature of the film and its excellent cinematography by the great Mark Irwin, it's little wonder that Freddy Got Fingered would appear as #2 on American-born auteur and skateboarding enthusiast Stanley Kubrick's Sight & Sound list for the Year 2001, a year that he and best-selling author Arthur C. Clarke co-invented.   This ep, Xennial host Ryan explains TRL (and pre-streaming television) to Thomas; Thomas comes dangerously close to almost nearly agreeing partially with Ryan; and Ken makes a Seinfeld comparison (take a drink), concurs that Tom Green is the Pavement (a popular 90s band) of moviemaking, and does in fact want some sausages.   As mentioned during the show, Netflix (as DVD.com) shipped hard media even after the two world-shattering events of early 2020: start of the global COVID-19 pandemic and of TGTPTU: https://about.netflix.com/en/news/netflix-dvd-the-final-season     Japan4.  THEME SONG BY: WEIRD A.I.Email: thegoodthepodandtheugly@gmail.comFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/TGTPTUInstagram: https://instagram.com/thegoodthepodandtheugly?igshid=um92md09kjg0Bluesky: @goodpodugly.bsky.socialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mI2plrgJu-TB95bbJCW-gLetterboxd (follow us!):Podcast: goodpoduglyKen: Ken KoralRyan: Ryan Tobias

There is a version of leadership that looks effortless from the outside. The one where the leader always has the answers, always holds the vision, always appears composed. And then there is the version that happens in private, at 5:00 AM, when your mind is rehearsing every possible failure and no one can see it. What surprises most people is how often those two versions belong to the same person. In part two of my conversation with Christian O'Connell, breakfast radio host heard by hundreds of thousands of Australians every morning, we get into the parts of leadership nobody talks about publicly. Christian opens up about the loneliness of leading a team, the night he finally put his thoughts on a whiteboard and told his people the truth about how he'd been feeling, and why he believes his next book will be about leadership because nobody warned him how hard it would be. If you have ever found yourself carrying something heavy at work and deciding the most responsible thing to do as a leader is keep it to yourself, this conversation will make you question whether that instinct is actually protecting your team or just protecting you. Christian and I discuss: Why confidence is the wrong thing to aim for before you speak in public What happened when Christian finally stopped pretending everything was fine with his team The one thing that does more for a team than any solution or action plan Why 5am is the worst possible time to trust your own thoughts The David Letterman line that changed how Christian thinks about taking risks Why Christian considers himself an accidental leader, and what he's doing about it Key quotes "Confidence is something that catches up. Momentum is more important." "It's a beautiful thing, leadership. If you get it right, it's a path of aliveness and transformation. If you get it wrong, it's the opposite."

If your idea of a productive morning includes hiding whiskey in your shoes, arguing with Oprah, and learning more about kidney stones than any human ever wanted to know, congratulations—you've found today's daily comedy show.The gang kicks things off by reacting to Fireball's newest invention: high-top sneakers with hidden compartments designed to smuggle booze into concerts. Is it brilliant? Is it incredibly stupid? Can both be true? Absolutely. The conversation quickly spirals into stories about sneaking drinks into venues, golf-course bathroom etiquette, and why "shoe whiskey" should never become part of the English language.Then things take an unexpectedly painful turn as Bret Michaels undergoes emergency kidney stone surgery, which leads Moon to share some of the most unforgettable—and honestly horrifying—kidney stone stories ever told on this show. Hospital visits, tour disasters, screaming in public bathrooms... somehow everyone survives, but barely.Celebrity news brings plenty of chaos, too. Tommy Lee reveals one of Motley Crue's most unbelievable drug stories, Bon Jovi struggles through a concert after vocal issues, Korn's Jonathan Davis gets married, Johnny Depp surprises Comic-Con fans, and Jason Alexander makes headlines by apologizing for a decades-old comedy sketch. The crew also debates whether Johnny Depp will always be Captain Jack Sparrow, Edward Scissorhands, or something completely different depending on who you ask.Then Oprah enters the conversation with a comment that lights the fuse on one of the episode's biggest discussions. Should young people sacrifice everything to build a career, or should work-life balance begin immediately? Everyone has an opinion, nobody completely agrees, and somehow the debate turns into one of the most thoughtful conversations of the morning without losing the sarcasm that keeps everything fun.Of course, it wouldn't be The Rizzuto Show without plenty of side quests. There are discussions about Olive Garden Pasta Pass failures, Hollywood Walk of Fame stars, celebrity birthdays, awkward David Letterman moments, the Kardashians, concert ticket disasters, and enough random tangents to make your GPS give up entirely.Whether you're here for celebrity gossip, weird news, hilarious fails, pop culture commentary, or simply because you enjoy hearing a group of friends derail every conversation imaginable, today's daily comedy show delivers exactly the kind of organized chaos you've come to expect.Thanks for making us part of your day. If you laughed, learned something completely unnecessary, or now have an irrational fear of kidney stones, we'd call that a successful episode.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
