This episode is a little different — because it was recorded live, unfiltered, and full of holiday chaos. No edits, no do-overs, just festive fun with the Main Street Magic community from start to finish.We kick things off by catching up and diving straight into Would You Rather: Disney Holiday Edition, letting the live chat decide between some tough holiday-themed Disney choices. From there, things get even more festive as we set the stage for a very special guest appearance.Santa himself joins the show live (with Rhonda holding down the Lounge), where he takes on Naughty or Nice: Disney Edition, judges questionable park behavior, and answers listener questions in real time. It's unpredictable, hilarious, and exactly the kind of chaos you can only get when you go live.After Santa heads back to the North Pole and Jeremy returns, we wrap things up with Eat It or Beat It: Holiday Edition, breaking down holiday dishes from around the world and letting the audience vote on what they'd actually eat.This episode is pure Main Street Lounge — festive, interactive, a little messy, and completely uncut. Pour yourself something cozy and enjoy the holiday magic.

JB White delivers Episode 51.3 of RattlerGator Report with a sweeping analysis of what he views as a coordinated, forward-thinking strategy driving the Trump administration. Broadcasting while traveling and recovering from illness, JB focuses on the rollout of “Trump Accounts,” highlighting Scott Bessent's remarks on merging Main Street and Wall Street, embedding financial literacy from birth, and creating an ownership economy where every American becomes a stakeholder. He connects this initiative to broader themes of economic warfare, Bitcoin, technological acceleration, and the collapse of the old eurodollar and globalist systems. JB repeatedly grounds the discussion in Trump's role as Commander in Chief, arguing that military realities and regions of responsibility must frame all geopolitical analysis, from China and Russia to NATO, Ukraine, and Europe. The episode blends personal reflection, sharp critiques of narrative confusion, and deep dives into finance, energy, sovereignty, and power, urging listeners to sharpen discernment as the pace of change accelerates.

On this December 19 episode of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Chris Paul break down the rollout of “Trump Accounts” and what they signal about a shift toward an ownership based economic model. The discussion centers on financial literacy, generational wealth, and how merging Main Street and Wall Street reframes economic warfare at a national level. From there, the hosts examine Trump's role as Commander in Chief, emphasizing why military regions, strategic posture, and global power balance must frame analysis of China, Russia, NATO, Ukraine, and Europe. The episode weaves together finance, energy, technology, and geopolitics, pushing back on shallow narratives and emotional speculation in favor of disciplined, big picture thinking. Throughout the broadcast, CannCon and Chris Paul stress discernment, timing, and understanding systems of power as the pace of global change accelerates.

Question 4: Which classic Imagineer or park visionary would you love to have dinner with? Think a multi-course meal where you can pick their brains for hours. Or just hang.

A deal that would see the Humana Building, at 500 W. Main Street, redeveloped as a large hotel, seems to be cooking behind the scenes.LBF Senior Reporter Joel Stinnett broke the story recently and joins us on the Access Louisville podcast to tell us about what he's learned. As reported on Dec. 12, Louisville-based Poe Cos. is in the planning stages to convert the 26-story Humana Building into a 1,000-room hotel, according to multiple sources familiar with the project. The tower is located at 500 W. Main St., near Louisville's Belvedere, Museum Row and the KFC Yum Center. To reach 1,000 rooms, an additional tower may be constructed behind the existing tower, near or where The Exchange office space and Vincenzo's restaurant now sit, according to at least one source. The existing tower would be converted to house the majority of the rooms, the sources said.On the show, Stinnett tells us how his reporting on the matter came together, other projects the Poe Cos. has in the works and what the needs look like with hotels in Downtown Louisville. We also go over what might happened next. Later in the show we chat about the landscape for electric vehicles going forward. This is in the wake of the news that Ford is pulling back on EV plans, dissolving its battery manufacturing venture with SK On (called BlueOvalSK) and repurposing its recently opened battery manufacturing facility in Glendale, Kentucky. As part of the repurposing, BlueOvalSK is laying off all its Glendale workers. A Ford subsidiary plans to takeover the plant and repurpose it for battery energy storage. It's a complicated situation for the automaker being as it just announced a new manufacturing platform at Louisville Assembly Plant in August in support of a new midsize EV pickup truck with a $30,000 price tag (low for the EV market.) Plans for that truck are still on, Ford says.Access Louisville is a weekly podcast from Louisville Business First. You can follow it on popular podcast services including Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Our guest is Tom Nichols, partner at the Milwaukee-based Meissner Tierney Fisher & Nichols, longtime advisor to S-Corp, and author of an excellent new piece exposing the Section 461(l) Excess Business Loss limitation for the money-grabbing fraud it is. Tom walks through the provision's origins, the harm it does to affected businesses, and how flawed revenue estimates drove the policy. We also get into our SALT Parity efforts and how the state laws and legal analysis he drafted helped pave the way for $20 billion in annual tax savings for Main Street businesses. 

The NDP government tried to throttle opposition to a drug use site slated for the North Logan neighbourhood by scheduling only one in-person meet-up. Episode 59 explains what they heard at two more hastily-added sessions this week. (Sorry for the blizzard delay!)Part 1- In November, Winnipeg Free Press columnist Dan Lett criticized neighborhood opposition to the first proposed location for a safe consumption site east of Main Street because "they make them safer and cleaner." His uninformed opinion clearly failed to sway the residents and businesses west of Main Street, who have voiced significant concern about the unsafe conditions already tolerated by elected officials and police around 366 Henry Avenue, where Wab Kinew now wants to open an SCS. In fact, the experiences they described last week and again this week demonstrate how proponents of enabling users of drugs like fentanyl and meth are killing the viability of Winnipeg's core area with suicidal empathy. At Monday night's public meeting, Housing and Addictions Minister Bernadette Smith- who is MLA for the area- showed how disconnected she is from the reality her constituents live with, as she claimed "We are focused on safety and security in the community. Police will be there to make sure enforcement is happening." Ed Gallos, owner of the roofing company next door to the proposed SCS, rebuked her: "I'm not very confident in the Winnipeg Police Service... we have to barricade our business, we look like a bunker from the Second World War."You'll hear the comments and questions voiced at the Chinese Cultural Centre by people who have suffered repeated serious violent incidents with no meaningful response by Winnipeg Police or the Winnipeg Police Board. 13.40 Part 2- The North Logan community held their own meeting on Tuesday night at Pampanga Hall across from 366 Henry. Stakeholders, which includes industrial, food services, and child program facilities, continued to press Smith and project operators, the Aboriginal Health and Wellness Centre, for substantive answers to their safety concerns. This isn't 'NIMBYism' as Kate Kehler of the ultra-leftist Social Planning Council insinuated- it's democracy.17.30-Listen to Bernadette Smith tell the meeting "this is meant to bring the crime levels down." Yet a businessman pointed out that as Siloam Mission has expanded and line-ups outside have quadrupled, social disorder has not been addressed, with officials not even ensuring there are bathroom facilities for the indigent. Instead, cleaning up the human waste left in nearby doorways and on properties became the responsibility of the affected private citizens. The resulting tensions have community members who confront the derelicts wandering through their yards and using it as a toilet fearing for their safety. There's only so much mayhem and disorder that can be inflicted on a neighborhood. Somehow, despite being their MLA, Smith had nothing to offer aside from "I'm sorry." 27.50 - Unreported by the media in attendance, WPS Inspector Helen Peters answered a question about her opinion if the SCS "will make the area safer." We have the audio of her shocking reply, which no doubt ruined Dan Lett's Xmas. ******Catch up on Marty Gold's columns in the Winnipeg Sun- Dec 10- North Logan neighborhood demands answers to safe consumption site concerns   https://www.winnipegsun.com/opinion/gold-north-logan-neighbourhood-demands-answers-to-safe-consumption-site-concerns/article_32e5e23b-dce4-46a8-b811-c1b4800f590b.htmlDec 14- Survey says Winnipeg Metropolitan Region fumbleslatest public pollhttps://www.winnipegsun.com/gold-survey-says-winnipeg-metropolitan-region-fumbles-latest-public-poll/article_c8fd78eb-0d97-47d9-af04-1edafcf2b6cb.htmlDec 17- Anhart's big plans for affordablehousing in Winnipeghttps://www.winnipegsun.com/opinion/gold-anharts-big-plans-for-affordable-housing-in-winnipeg/article_42efee06-df8d-49f0-9ee8-d161b68f26a2.html

Press play and step into the room where our best mistakes live. We stitched together the wildest outtakes from our skit vault—parodies that veer off course, voices no one planned, and laugh fits so hard the song sheets might as well be confetti. What started as a quick way to break up our episodes turned into a full-on celebration of the moments that never make the final cut, and somehow, they're even funnier than what we aimed for.We kick off with a Fresh Prince riff that explodes into uncharted territory, then slide into a “Lean On Me” tangent where one unexpected voice takes down the whole room. The crown jewel is a power ballad parody that starts strong and beautifully derails as the lines get too bold and the backup vocals lose it. There's also a fast hit of cartoon chaos on “Too Close,” with a Goofy-style delivery that punches through the mix. Between the bits, we share quick context, the creative sparks behind each attempt, and why certain breaks became instant keepers.This collection doubles as our origin story. You'll hear the pre-podcast clip that had us gasping for air and convinced us to start recording on purpose. We tip our hats to Weird Al and classic radio comedy, talk about how outtakes sharpen our timing, and shout out Jay's new shop, Big Jay's Replays, now open on Main Street in downtown Finley, Ohio. If you love musical parodies, improv energy, and the kind of laughter you can feel in your ribs, this is your episode-length grin. Tap follow, share it with a friend who needs a break, and drop a comment with the time stamp that wrecked you.

Tiffany Anton sits down with Josh Wanamaker, musician and co-owner of Flat Foot Records, McMinnville's newly opened local record store located just steps from the historic Park Theatre on Main Street. Josh shares the inspiration behind opening the shop, his favorite places to hunt for vinyl, and what sets Flat Foot Records apart—from its unique mix of music memorabilia to the way different social groups naturally collide and connect inside the store. He talks about his mission to give McMinnville something it's been missing: a true local music hub with listening stations, a hangout area, and plans for intimate acoustic performances. Josh and Tiffany also dive into the story behind the name “Flat Foot Records,” their upcoming tracks and collectibles, and the deeper, more complex world of collecting high-quality vinyl. It's a conversation about community, creativity, and the impact a small music store can make on a downtown scene. Listen To The Local Matters Podcast Today! News Talk 94.1

On this episode of Reelfoot Forward: A West Tennessee Podcast, Stephanie Riley, founder of B3 Creative Agency in Jackson, Tennessee, shares her journey from early graphic design training and freelance work in college at UT Martin to starting — and successfully growing — two advertising agencies in West Tennessee. The conversation traces the evolution of graphic design from traditional tools like rub-on type and amberlith to today's digital platforms, along with the power of networking, chamber involvement, and small-town relationships in building a sustainable business. Stephanie also discusses her passion for team culture, mentoring young creatives, and why she believes smaller communities like Jackson offer unmatched opportunities for connection and impact. Listeners will also hear about Stephanie's work promoting live music in West Tennessee through initiatives like Jackson Hidden Tracks, the Blue Suede Rockabilly Weekend honoring Carl Perkins, and collaborations with local musicians and educators. From advertising and design to music and community-building, this episode highlights how creativity thrives in rural places when people invest where they live.

Mark Langford is a Harvard MBA with 30-years of building and working with start-ups through Fortune 500 companies from Main Street to Wall Street both domestically and abroad. He transitioned out of the corporate world in 2013 to help others to identify and live their purpose, tap inner knowing and to release limiting beliefs in order to restore clarity, joy and happiness to their lives and careers.

Having grown up in a small-business family, I'm a big proponent of free enterprise. But I detest corporatism.The corporate powers try to co-opt the enterprise label, but in fact they are direct opposites and opponents. Indeed, the word “free” in free enterprise is not a benign adjective, but a fiery verb. It expresses the constant struggle by families like mine – Main Street businesses, farmers, artists, co-ops, and others – to free-up their enterprises from the monopoly control and raw political force of domineering financial elites.That's why I admire the spunk of Azalea Fresh Market in Atlanta, Georgia. It's a new supermarket offering high-quality fresh foods at affordable prices to the people in a poor, inner-city neighborhood. Until Azalea opened, a few sad convenience store bananas were the only “fresh” grocery items sold in the area. City officials kept trying to entice major corporate grocery chains to open a store to serve that community. But it was always “no.” Mayor Andre Dickens says: “That totally burned me up.” So, “Screw it,” he declared, “We're gonna do it ourselves.”And they have! Partnering with a small local chain of enterprising grocers, Atlanta's public development fund financed Azalea, which is now providing good food at good prices for customers long disdained by corporatists.Corporate ideologues mindlessly bark that the public should not be involved in business. Hogwash! When the corporate establishment fails to deliver such basic needs as healthy food, housing and health care, the public can – and must – step into the void.

On this special episode of On the Corner of Main Street, Plaza CEO Jonathan Jossel and hotel director Gary Vickery return after a brief break with heavy hearts to remember their friend and executive casino host, Aquarius "Q" Wilkinson. They open the show in a quieter, somber mood, sharing the news of Q's passing and reflecting on the shock that has rippled through the Plaza, downtown Las Vegas, and Q's extended family of guests. What was planned as a normal episode instead becomes a toast to a man who embodied hospitality and made everyone around him feel like a VIP. Before the replay begins, Jonathan and Gary talk about the last week at the Plaza and the overwhelming response from Q's players and friends around the country. They share messages from guests who still came in for planned trips, how the team rallied to make sure those visits stayed special, and why Q's presence is still felt on the casino floor. They also explain how listeners can support his family through the GoFundMe that Rachel, his wife, set up and mention future plans for a celebration of life at the Plaza in Q's honor. The episode then rolls back to April 2021, when Q first sat down with the podcast to tell his story. Listeners hear how a nineteen year old kid working in an arcade at The Lady Luck in Bettendorf, Iowa, fell in love with taking care of people and followed that feeling into security and then surveillance in St. Louis. Q explains what it was like watching the casino from a dark room, writing up errors, and realizing that he wanted to be on the floor with the energy, not behind the cameras. That decision would send him to Detroit in 1999, dealing dice at the first MGM Casino there while the action was nonstop and the line to get in wrapped around the building. From there, Q walks through his move to Las Vegas and the dream of making it on the Strip. He talks about dealing at the Suncoast, then spending six years at the Palms during its peak, with ten dollar games replaced by green and black chip action and celebrities like Ben Affleck, Jerry Rice, and Missy Elliott learning craps at his table. Eventually, Q shares why he chose to return to the Midwest, become a host, then come back to Vegas and join the Plaza just before the pandemic. He explains what "being a host" really means to him: calling guests from his "laboratory," building trust, surprising them with experiences like helicopter rides and cornhole tournaments, and making a working class player feel as special as any high roller on the Strip. The conversation also captures Q's first impressions of the Plaza and how his view of downtown shifted once he was inside the building. He talks about the family feeling under the dome, the culture Jonathan and the leadership team built, and why he preferred the closeness and honesty of Plaza guests over the flash of larger resorts. Q reflects on working through the shutdown, training in the gym during COVID, watching downtown recover, and dreaming about how to use the Plaza's unique spaces for concerts and events. Throughout, his voice is full of optimism, gratitude, and a competitive desire to outwork and out-care every other host in town. This episode is both a time capsule and a tribute. If you knew Q, it is a chance to hear his laugh, his stories, and his philosophy on hospitality one more time. If you never met him, it is a chance to understand why so many people called him their host, their friend, and their reason for coming back to the Plaza. The team shares details on how to support his family through the GoFundMe linked with the episode and invites listeners to raise a glass, share their memories, and help keep Q's spirit alive on the corner of Main Street. https://www.gofundme.com/f/in-memory-of-q-helping-his-family 00:00 Introduction and Somber Mood 00:46 Remembering Aquarius Q Wilkinson 01:17 Tributes and Memories 03:46 Celebration of Life and GoFundMe 04:31 Interview with Aquarius Q Wilkinson 05:19 Q's Early Career in the Casino Industry 07:31 Transition to Surveillance and Dealing 08:22 Moving to Detroit and Becoming a Dealer 12:48 Journey to Las Vegas 14:37 Life at the Palms Casino 17:09 Switch to Casino Host and Personal Reflections 18:25 What Does a Casino Host Do? 18:54 Building Relationships with Clients 20:24 Returning to Vegas 21:05 First Impressions of the Plaza 23:53 Creating Memorable Experiences 34:50 Adapting During the Pandemic 37:42 Future Plans for the Plaza 39:17 Conclusion and Contact Information

The alarm hits at 2 a.m., the corrals open in the dark, and somehow the magic feels brighter than ever. We bring together Dopey veterans and a first‑timer to unpack the real playbook for Marathon Weekend: how to shop the expo without losing your day, when to join the virtual queue, and which transport options get you to EPCOT stress‑free. From the 5K's calm walk to the marathon's 4:30 a.m. start, we map water stops, fuel options, spectating windows, and the course quirks shaped by current construction.The strategy talk gets honest. Walk the 5K to bank energy. Use shorter run intervals on Saturday if you're in later corrals. Save character photos for later in the race when lines shrink. Bring two or three pairs of shoes, recovery sandals, and a spare pair of socks for a mid‑marathon reset. Pack Epsom salt, roll your feet, and stash sunscreen and anti‑chafe plans. We compare caffeinated gum to coffee, warn against accidental over‑caffeination, and share the flat‑lay routine that turns chaos into calm. Above all, we keep mindset at the center: pick joy at the bleachers, pace your day, and let Main Street carry you without sprinting the tracks.You'll also hear a lively race report from the inaugural San Antonio Marathon—beautiful course, big hills, warm temps, and standout community support—plus quick hits from races nationwide. Whether you're chasing Dopey, Goofy, or a single distance, this episode gives you the concise, experience‑tested guide to stay ahead of the balloon ladies and finish with a smile.

MDJ Script/ Top Stories for December 10th Publish Date:  December 10th Commercial: From the BG Ad Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Wednesday, December 10th and Happy Birthday to Med White Seven Nation Army I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Cobb Library Foundation launches online store to boost fundraising Powder Springs man charged in fatal shooting of mother and stepfather Kennesaw "Holly Days" parade spreads holiday cheer All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  BREAK: INGLES 5 STORY 1: Cobb Library Foundation launches online store to boost fundraising The Cobb County Library Foundation just got a little more creative with its fundraising—say hello to The Cobb Library Shop, an online store packed with bookish goodies. From cozy throw blankets and pet sweaters to pickleball paddles and “Get Carded” T-shirts, there’s something for every library lover. The shop, designed by library staff, features six themed collections, including merch for the bookmobile and holiday gifts. Proceeds? They go straight back into library programs like the Summer Reading Program and Teen Book’d. “This isn’t just about selling stuff,” said Sandra Morris, the foundation’s executive director. “It’s about building a bridge between the library and the community.” Shop now at cobblibrary.shop. STORY 2: Powder Springs man charged in fatal shooting of mother and stepfather A tragic scene unfolded in Powder Springs on Saturday, where a man is accused of fatally shooting his mother and stepfather. Police arrived at a home on Yoshino Terrace around 12:30 p.m. after a domestic disturbance call. Inside, they found Monica Brookins, 72, and John Wells, 73, both suffering from gunshot wounds. Despite being rushed to the hospital, neither survived. The suspect? Martin Duberry, 31—Brookins’ son and Wells’ stepson—who also lived in the home. He’s now facing two counts of murder, eight counts of aggravated battery, and a firearm charge, according to authorities. A heartbreaking loss for the family and community. STORY 3: Kennesaw "Holly Days" parade spreads holiday cheer   Downtown Kennesaw was buzzing with holiday cheer as the Holly Days parade rolled through, bringing floats, marching bands, dancers, and, of course, Santa Claus himself. The parade, with over 50 entries, started at Adams Park and wound its way down Watts Drive and Main Street. Kennesaw Mayor Derek Easterling stole the show, pedaling a tricycle decked out in Christmas lights and decorations, waving to the crowd in his festive suit. The parade wasn’t just for spectators. Performers like Sophia Allsen, a North Cobb High color guard member, said marching in the cold was worth it. “Seeing everyone’s smiles makes it all worthwhile,” she said. The festivities wrapped up with Santa waving from his sleigh float, followed by photos in Depot Park. Preston Bell, 10, summed it up: “I loved the candy—and I’m asking Santa for Robux!” For more Holly Days fun, visit kennesaw-ga.gov/hollydays.

Break: Villa Rica Wonderland Train STORY 4: Braves great Dale Murphy falls short of Hall of Fame induction Dale Murphy’s wait for the Hall of Fame continues. The Braves legend fell short again on Sunday, earning just six of the 12 votes needed from the Contemporary Baseball Era Committee. It’s the same result as 2022, leaving fans and supporters—who’ve rallied around him for years—disappointed but undeterred. “From the bottom of my heart, thank you,” Murphy wrote on X before the announcement, overwhelmed by the outpouring of love. “Words can’t describe how much this support means.” Murphy’s career? A mix of brilliance and heartbreak. Seven All-Star nods, back-to-back MVPs in ’82 and ’83, 398 homers, five Gold Gloves. But injuries slowed him, and his Hall of Fame case has always been a debate. For now, the wait goes on. STORY 5: Senior living development advances  The Cobb County Planning Commission gave the green light to a 16-home senior living development in southwest Cobb—unanimously, no less. The project, proposed by Atlanta-based Romusa Properties, would rezone 3.29 acres on West Sandtown Road, right by Mud Creek Soccer Complex. The plan? Build attached homes, at least 1,800 square feet each, with brick, stone, and cedar shake exteriors. Pretty traditional, but cozy. There’s also a recreational area and a mail kiosk in the mix, plus a mandatory HOA and private streets. No objections, no drama—it sailed through. Next stop: Cobb Board of Commissioners on Dec. 16. Break: STORY 6: Marietta celebrates girls cross country team’s sixth state championship    The Marietta High girls cross country team took a well-earned victory lap Friday—on a bus, through the entire school district. Why? Six straight state championships. Six. Decked out in bright pink shirts, the 21 runners stopped at all 12 schools, greeted by cheering students, handmade signs, pom-poms, and blaring anthems like “We Are the Champions.” High-fives everywhere. Superintendent Grant Rivera led the charge, calling the team an “inspiration.” Senior Mary Nesmith, a two-time state champ herself, said, “It’s so special seeing the little kids. They’re so sweet.” The tour ended with Mayor Steve Tumlin’s proclamation. Six titles—and counting. The move follows “Wesley’s Law,” passed last year, which req ======uires schools to stock naloxone and train staff to use it. We’ll have closing comments after this.
