She transitions into an extensive interview with a high-end wedding planner to explore the excessive complexity and soaring costs of contemporary matrimonial celebrations, which Adams views with humorous skepticism. The broadcast concludes with a mixture of personal anecdotes about Hollywood icons like Liza Minnelli and sharp-tongued commentary on economic inflation and shifting cultural standards.

Hoy recordaremos la vida de un gentleman inglés que estaba más cu-cú que un reloj suizo. Hoy recordaremos a Richard Henry Sellers, no, no me he equivocado de nombre, es que lo suyo era mitad genético, mitad familia un poquito disfuncional. Richard nació el 8 de septiembre de 1925 en Southsea, un pueblecito inglés que tiene playa pero sin chiringuitos, por eso se vienen los de allí a Chipiona. Tuvo un hermano que no llegó a nacer que se iba a llamar Peter. Y Luego nació él, que le pusieron Richard Henry pero lo llamaban Peter porque había que traumatizarlo prontito, que luego tó son prisas. Sus padres eran artistas, protestante él, judía ella, que metieron al niño en un colegio católico con muchos curas porque no desaprovechaban una oportunidad de joderle la vida. Además su padre solía decirle que iba a tener un brillante porvenir como barrendero. Una infancia itinerante, junto con la soledad del hijo único y la búsqueda de refugio en su madre Agnes, hizo que Peter mirara a su progenitora con los mismos ojitos que Trump a Groenlandia. Estos primeros años dieron como resultado una personalidad más inestable que el precio de los boquerones. Peter empezó muy joven a estudiar interpretación pero lo que a él le gustaba de verdad era ponerse la rebequita llena de bolitas de su madre y tocar la batería. Se le daba tan bien la música que la amistad con un tal George Martin lo llevó a ser el primero en escuchar el “Álbum Blanco” para dar su opinión porque los Beatles confiaban más en él que Pere Navarro en las balizas V16. Cuando Peter tenía 15 años, la explosión de la IIWW lo obligó a dejar los estudios y a buscarse la vida como cómico itinerante. Fue reclutado a la fuerza con la idea de convertirlo en piloto de caza, a un chaval que llevaba las gafas de Chus Lampreabe, que una vez se le rompió un cristal y le pusieron el culo de un tarro de paté a la pimienta. Y así fue como se convirtió en la Marta Sánchez de ellos y acabó en el Gang Show, una troupe que entretenía a los soldados con chistes de nazis gangosos. Fue aquí donde le cogió tanto coraje al color púrpura que Peter veía una berenjena y empezaba a sudar como cuando te entra un apretón en casa tu suegros y tú intentas aguantar para cagá en tu casa. Ya en esta época era una mezcl entre Woody Allen y José Luis López Vázquez mosqueao, usaba sombreros de pescador de cuadros porque tenía la cabeza como un quesito del Trivial y no le cabía otro y afirmaba que cada vez que necesitaba inspiración para un papel lo poseían personajes como Napoleón, Leonardo Da Vinci o Carmen de Mairena. Su astrólogo que se había dado cuenta que Peter estaba más pa´llá que Miguel Bosé, se dejaba sobornar por los directores para aconsejarle que aceptara este o aquel papel. Para el del Inspector Clouseau de la Pantera Rosa le advirtió que una persona con las iniciales B.E. le cambiaría la vida y Peter en vez de cogerle el teléfono al director Blake Edwards, se casó con la actriz Britt Ekland, para desgracia de ella. Peter se casó 4 veces, tuvo un lío fugaz con Liza Minnelli que bajó un momentito a por tabaco cuando Peter le dijo que lo había poseído Rasputín y tuvo 3 hijos a los que desheredó (A LOS 3) porque la pequeña de 15 años le dijo un día que en Bienvenido Mr. Chance parecía un “vejito gordo”. También fue el único al que Kubrick dejó improvisar en una película y se llevó 20 años buscando la manera de dejá de pagá el OCASO. Lo intentó todo: trabajá más horas que Buenafuente, echarse droja en el Cola-Cao, darle chupetones fuertes al ventolín antes de gratinarle el mollete a la parienta, nada, como mucho 8 infartos en 3 horas que le dieron en 1964. Desgraciadamente el genio gruñón de Peter Sellers nos dejaba el 24 de julio de 1980, a los 54 años, a su décimo quinto ataque al corazón aunque ustedes siempre podrán recordarlo cada vez que vean a una madre con una rebequita llena de bolitas o se ganen un quesito jugando al Trivial.

There’s a lot of great dive bars around LA, and especially in the Valley. Would you eat seafood from a dive bar? Meanwhile, one of the agitators downtown has been arrested for using a slingshot against police officers. Don Lemon was arrested today for his invasion of a Minnesota church with anti-ICE protestors on Jan. 8, interfering with others’ right to worship. Lemon claims he was there in his journalistic capacity. While many restaurants in LA stand symbolically with the “ICE out” protestors, they’re unable to close for business on a Friday night, so they’re finding other ways to show solidarity with the protestors. AI music covers and remixes are getting scary authentic. What does this mean for the future? But due to AI, Liza Minnelli is releasing new music. Is watching your favorite team lose worse than heartbreak? There’s a new booze on the market: bear-poop beer. It will be served at Super Bowl 2026.

Javier Milei afirmó en su visita a Mar del Plata: “Ya hemos aprobado la ley de inocencia fiscal. Ahora todos volvemos a ser inocentes hasta que se demuestre lo contrario. A su vez, ya tenemos dictamen para la Ley de Glaciares y para la modernización laboral. Por lo tanto, ¡dentro de poco vamos a tener leyes de países razonables! ¡Para que Argentina vuelva a ser grande nuevamente!”.“Por eso también para estas sesiones extraordinarias estamos mandando la baja de imputabilidad para los menores. En Argentina, el que las hace las paga. Delito de adulto, pena de adulto. Estamos incrementando todas las penas del código penal para que efectivamente que el que las hace las paga. También estamos mandando una reforma tributaria para que cada día baje la presión fiscal y seamos más libres y podamos crecer. Por lo tanto, todas las promesas que hice en campaña van a estar cumplidas antes de mitad de año”, agregó Milei.Karen Reichardt, diputada de LLA, sostuvo: “En febrero volvemos al Congreso en extraordinarias, entre otras cosas y muchas... Vamos a trabajar como locos. Pero hay, hay un debate demasiado postergado en la Argentina, que es la ley penal juvenil y la edad de imputabilidad. Dos cosas que los argentinos estamos esperando hace mucho tiempo. No se trata de ideologías políticas, no. Se trata de sentido común. Queremos que la gente o las personas que delinquen tengan la edad que tengan, las paguen. Queremos eso desde hace muchos años. Así que ahora, en extraordinarias de febrero, vamos con todo con eso. El que las hace, las paga”.El gobernador de Santa Fe, Maximiliano Pullaro, señaló: “Creo que hay que ser muy claro contra el garantismo que tanto daño, que tanto daño le ha hecho a la República Argentina. Una ideología defendida por el kirchnerismo durante mucho, pero mucho tiempo y por muchos dirigentes del kirchnerismo, que entienden que los delincuentes son víctimas de un sistema social injusto y que por ser víctimas de este sistema social injusto tienen no tienen que ir a la cárcel o tienen que pasar el menor tiempo posible en la cárcel. Nosotros pensamos todo lo contrario, el que comete un delito lo tiene que pagar. Un delito de mayor tiene que ser juzgado con una pena de mayor”.Fátima Florez, actriz y expareja de Milei, contó: “Pasa por una cuestión de personajes que a él le gustan. No sé, le gusta mucho el personaje de Cher, Liza Minnelli, Marilyn, no sé, un montón de personajes que le gusta cómo los hago, además de los de acá, de las argentinas. Pero nada, siempre me lo expresó eso desde hace mucho, como te digo, incluso antes de que fuéramos novios. Y bueno, viene a ver este show, que además este show tiene un montón de personajes que él no me vio, así que va a ser también toda una sorpresa. Y con la sorpresa también de que parece que se va a subir en el final del show a cantar”.Noticias del martes 27 de enero por María O'Donnell y equipo de De Acá en Más por Urbana Play 104.3 FMSeguí a De Acá en Más en Instagram y XUrbana Play 104.3 FM.

Actor and alleged wiseguy Gianni Russo, who played the traitorous Carlo Rizzi in 1972's "The Godfather," stops by the studio to talk about people he's bumped off in real life (two, maybe three that he'll admit to), sleeping with Liza Minnelli and Marilyn Monroe (!?) and taking acting lessons from Marlon Brando. Also, crime boss John Gotti and Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega get mentions! (Did you know that Liza and Noriega briefly toured together in the '80s? Okay, we made that part up).  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Kicking off 2026 with an episode about Martin Scorsese's attempt at a big MGM-style movie: a dark post-war musical about a married pair of jazz performers from the team that wrote Cabaret and starring Liza Minnelli. Sounds like a dream come true for film lovers, right? The result is a flawed film that we ended up liking anyway. Starring Robert De Niro and Liza Minnelli. Written by Earl Mac Rauch and Mardik Martin. Directed by Martin Scorsese. Music by Josh Kander and Fred Ebb.

Deana Martin shares the deeply emotional experience of being named a "Trobairitz"—the female troubadour—at the legendary Friars Club in New York City, where her father Dean Martin was honored as "Man of the Hour" in 1951. Wearing the heavy gold medallion engraved to her father from that historic evening, Deana joins an elite group of only five women to receive this rare title, alongside Barbra Streisand, Liza Minnelli, Dionne Warwick, and Kristin Chenoweth. She reflects on her fondest New York memories, including family dinners at Patsy's Restaurant on 57th Street with "Uncle Frank" Sinatra, and reveals that Sal Scognamillo from Patsy's is catering her special evening. The celebration features performances and roasts from Joe Piscopo, Joe Mantegna, Tony Lo Bianco, and video tributes from friends like Tony Orlando, Tony Danza, and Bob Newhart who couldn't attend in person.Deana discusses learning the art of entertainment by watching her father perform at the Sands Hotel's Copa Room, remembering the announcer's iconic introduction: "Ladies and gentlemen, the star of our show, direct from the bar, Dean Martin." She describes how Dean looked effortlessly cool in his tuxedo with red pocket square and bow tie, making the entire audience feel like they were in his living room through his personal, honest, and funny approach. His advice to her was simple but profound: always know your lyrics, stand on your mark, always be early, and sing from your heart. Closing her Friars Club honor, Deana will perform "That's Amore," "That's Life," "Bellissima," and "Everybody Loves Somebody," with the entire evening being filmed by Creative Chaos production company for inclusion in the upcoming Dean Martin documentary that should be released later this year.

Musical Month takes a sharp, provocative turn this week on @wedrinkandwewatchthings as we enter the smoky, seedy world of 1931 Berlin in Bob Fosse's masterpiece, "Cabaret (1972)." This isn't your typical "jazz hands" musical; it's a brilliant, disturbing look at a world partying on the edge of a cliff. Grab a stiff drink - maybe a Prairie Oyster - and get ready for a discussion about "divine decadence" in the shadow of a gathering storm.This week, we are immersing ourselves in the legendary performance of Liza Minnelli as the irrepressible Sally Bowles and Joel Grey's haunting, omniscient Emcee. We'll be examining Fosse's revolutionary direction, where the musical numbers stay strictly on the stage of the Kit Kat Klub, acting as a twisted mirror to the grim political reality unfolding outside. We talk through the film's exploration of sexual ambiguity, the chilling "Tomorrow Belongs to Me" sequence, and the heartbreaking realization that while life is a cabaret for some, the real world is becoming a nightmare. It's a conversation about escapism, denial, and how easily a society can lose its way when it's too busy looking at the stage.If you appreciate a musical with a razor-sharp edge, iconic choreography, and themes that feel uncomfortably relevant today, this is an episode you can't miss. We're blending our awe for the film's gritty style with our usual casual banter, making this a truly unforgettable stop on our Musical Month tour.

Today is World AIDS Day, if anyone needed to be reminded. Though I considered doing a compendium episode of broad scope commemorating a handful of the thousands upon thousands of musicians that succumbed to AIDS, I decided instead to focus on one, Broadway icon Larry Kert, who created the role of Tony in West Side Story and was subsequently an early Robert in Sondheim's Company, for which he was nominated for a Tony Award. On December 5, we observe his 95th birthday. In between these career highs, he was involved in a number of notorious Broadway flops (Breakfast at Tiffany's, La Strada, and Rags) from each of which we hear rare recordings. And yet during his life, superstardom eluded him. It's quite likely that some of this had to do with him having lived his life openly and unapologetically as a gay man in a time when most comparable figures were deeply in the closet. But Larry was also a familiar figure on television of that era, appearing as a guest star on popular series, on game shows, on commercials, and as a particular favorite of Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show, in which he made 29 guest appearances. He also was often seen as a replacement in and on tours of popular musicals such as Cabaret, Two Gentlemen of Verona, I Can Get It for You Wholesale, and, finally, La Cage aux Folles, to name just a few. In that last show, his frail health meant that he had to miss significant numbers of performances, though he continued to make important appearances on stage and on recordings until just shortly before his death on June 5, 1991 at the age of 60. On the episode, we hear him with such legendary co-stars as Teresa Stratas, Liza Minnelli, Chita Rivera, Madeline Kahn, Maureen McGovern, Mimi Hines, and Harvey Evans, as well as his WSS co-star Carol Lawrence. We also trace the support and influence he received over the course of his career from his trusted friend Martin Charnin, who played a sometimes surprising role in Kert's career. Though Larry Kert felt that he never received the recognition he deserved, this episode demonstrates how he stood at the forefront of all Broadway tenors of his generation, as well as past and future ones.

Today on The Gist, the late Bob Saget, who reconciles his Full House image with his "Dirty Daddy" persona while admitting he was a "nerd burglar" in his youth. They dissect the difference between misogyny and locker room talk, deconstruct the logic of his famous "Winnebago" joke. Then, cultural critic Chuck Klosterman joins to analyze The Nineties, explaining why the sitcom Coach might be the most significant show of the decade, how the internet ruined the necessary ambiguity of college football championships, and why Nirvana's musical legacy is inseparable from the non-musical impact of Kurt Cobain's depression.

"MY FAMILY PLAYED SINATRA RECORDS ALL THE TIME." ​Lifelong Sinatra fans are fascinated when they hear Tony Sands start to croon. They think 'Ol Blue Eyes' has come back to life! For more than thirty years, Tony Sands has been perfecting his act, and wooing audiences all over the United States. Sands caught the Sinatra bug as a child growing up in South Philly. "When I was twelve or thirteen years old, that's when I first wanted to sing," Sands says. "My family played Sinatra records all the time, and I started singing along. The next thing I knew, I just fell in love with his music…and here I am." “WHEN I WAS TWELVE OR THIRTEEN YEARS OLD, THAT'S WHEN I FIRST WANTED TO SING.” Tony's silky, mesmerizing, and tantalizing rendition of the Chairman of the Board's style, has caught the eye of the entertainment community, and audiences from around the country. He's performed in theaters across the country, as well as many Manhattan restaurants, Zanzibar Blue Jazz Club in Philadelphia, The Ritz Carlton Hotel in Philadelphia, The Harvard Club, and The Breakers Hotel in New York City, just to name a select few.   During the winter months, Tony performs at various venues all across Florida, to standing ovations every night. Tony's impressive resume includes performances at Trump Castle and Casino, Tropicana Casino & Resort, and Harrah's Hotel and Casino, all in Atlantic City. His performances in Reno, Nevada at the Eldorado Resort Casino have been sold out, night after night. Tony has also made many television appearances up and down the east coast. ​ One of Tony's productions is a never before seen musical journey about the life and times of the late Frank Sinatra called, ‘Sinatra' ~ The Musical. This production includes all of Sinatra's best loved songs from the early days with Tommy Dorsey, to the bright lights of New York City, and then to the silver screen of Hollywood, leading up to Sinatra's 'Main Event' comeback.   Another performance of Tony's that you don't want to miss is Sinatra's ‘That's Life' Concert. Tony brings in his BIG BAND, Swingtopia, and performs all the popular standards that you can sing along to. Tony captivates his audiences with the romance, mannerisms and illusion that have made Sands one of the most popular entertainers around.   In 2010, Tony produced a widespread favorite show, 'Rat Pack Together Again.' Tony's portrayal of 'The Legend,' in this revue is 'spot on!' Dean, Sammy, & Frank's onstage banter will keep you ‘in stitches,' just like the ‘real' Rat Pack did back in the day. ​ Finally, 'Start Spreading the News' with Liza and Frank, is a spectacular tribute to Frank Sinatra and Liza Minnelli, and it's Tony's latest production. It stars Tony Sands and Whitney Grace with the electrifying Live Big Band, Swingtopia. Get ready for a night of pure magic as two powerhouse performers bring the legends to life in this dazzling tribute that plays to sold-out crowds, and earns unanimous standing ovations across the country! Whitney Grace stuns with Liza's most iconic hits, from "Cabaret" to "All That Jazz," and Tony brings Sinatra's charm and velvet vocals to classics like "Come Fly With Me" and "My Way." Then, prepare to be blown away as they come together for a show-stopping duet of "New York, New York!" This is more than a concert — it's a musical time machine through the golden era of American entertainment.

New Edition available here. 'A fascinating, tragic and instructive story, vividly told' Sunday TelegraphRoger Lewis, in his no-holds-barred biography, exposes a Peter Sellers the world little knows. Recognized as the greatest British comic since Charlie Chaplin, Sellers was the grand master of fifty-five films - from Dr. Strangelove, to Being There and the Pink Panther hits.But shadowing his phenomenal career was a history of increasingly bizarre behaviour involving psychotic violence, compulsive promiscuity, drug abuse and humiliating self-destructive obsessions with people including Princess Margaret, Sophia Loren, Liza Minnelli and each of his four wives (Ann Hayes, Britt Ekland, Miranda Quarry and Lynne Frederick). He alternately showered his wives and children with gifts and then threatened to kill them. Sellers' fluidity as an actor made for a terrifying madness that grew like a slow metastasizing cancer throughout his adult life.The Life and Death of Peter Sellers concludes with his premature death at the age of 54, 'sick at heart and alone in those sunless hotel rooms', so recoiled from intimacy that no one really knew him anymore.

It's Gay Pride (in America)! To commemorate iconic homosexual musician George Michael in the week of what would have been his 62nd birthday, and for our fifth annual Pride episode in the last week of Pride MONTH, Matt takes a look at the enduring cultural impact of George Michael's song Father Figure, and the idea that, as eminent American producer, Dick Clark once put it “Music is the soundtrack of your life.” And from there, Matt talks about how George Michael's music helped him as a small boy to re-discover the fun of pop music, and maybe even life, after the sudden death of his father. It's an episode about a whole lot of things, it runs a slim, almost 27 minutes (a commute!), and it includes Liza Minnelli, Stephen Sondheim, and The Pet Shop Boys in a small but reassuring way.Subscribe to our substack hereFollow us on Instagram hereFollow Matt Phillp hereFollow Erin Hosier hereFollow Elizabeth Thompson here This is a public episode.

How does an artist once perceived to be ahead of his time fall behind the times? The choreographer/director of Golden Age classics like Singin' the Rain and Funny Face left Hollywood for all the 60s and the first half of the 70s, perfecting a certain brand of sophisticated comedy/romance abroad with films like Charade, Bedazzled and Two for the Road. His rough Hollywood re-entry was marked by exercises in nostalgia for eras gone by (Lucky Lady, a movie about Prohibition Era gangsters starring Burt Reynolds and Liza Minnelli; the 1930s spoof Movie Movie) and attempts to give audiences of the 80s what it was assumed they wanted (the sci-fi debacle Saturn 3, the sex comedy Blame it on Rio).
