One random night watching a Yankees and Orioles game somehow turned Ben Maller into the executive producer and kingpin of "The Maller Matchmaker: Friend Edition," a completely spontaneous and unnecessary adventure some 2,300-miles away from the People's Republic of California, co-starring Marlins Man and Sports With Coleman. Because when you see Marlins Man behind home plate, naturally the next move is to start meddling in people’s lives. Along the way, Ben plays the adult version of Where’s Waldo?, while Bob Uecker, Don King, Casey Kasem-style “long-distance dedications,” and the Pentagon somehow wander into the story. Sure, why not? Then there’s the important historical investigation nobody requested: What clothing item did President Truman, Elvis Presley, Tom Selleck, and Jimmy Buffett help make popular? We also squeeze in the Atari 2600, Jonestown, and the philosophical dilemma that has tortured mankind for generations: What exactly qualifies as Kool-Aid?

Most people who buy a franchise fall in love before they ever run the numbers. And by the time they realize their mistake, they've already signed the check.On this episode of The Proven Entrepreneur Show, host Don Williams sits down with Melissa Lewis, known in the industry as The Franchisologist, for a conversation that every entrepreneur, aspiring business owner and corporate professional thinking about their next move needs to hear. Melissa has spent over two decades matching people to franchise brands, and she has watched hundreds of hopeful buyers make the same costly mistake over and over again.This episode goes far beyond the basics of franchising. Don and Melissa talk about why so many entrepreneurs resist systems and structure, and what has to shift in their mindset before a franchise can actually work for them. They dig into the real difference between running a single successful business and building a true franchise brand, and why so many founders trip up the moment they try to scale. Melissa shares how she guides her clients through a structured process that keeps emotion out of the decision until the research is done, and why she believes the best business decisions still end with a gut check.You will hear stories from Melissa's own journey into the franchise world, including the early days that shaped how she coaches entrepreneurs today. Don and Melissa also get into what community really looks like inside a franchise system, why entrepreneurship can feel isolating without one, and what a well built franchise actually looks like a decade down the road, both financially and in day to day life.Whether you are a small business owner exploring franchising for the first time, a founder thinking about turning your own business into a franchise brand, or simply someone tired of the corporate grind and looking for a new path, this episode gives you a front row seat to how the right guidance can change the entire outcome.Press play and find out what separates the entrepreneurs who build something lasting from the ones who learn the hard way.Mentioned in this episode:Guest: Melissa Lewis, The Franchisologist, Franchise ConsultantHost: Don WilliamsShow: The Proven Entrepreneur ShowWebsite: Franchiseologist.comConnect with Melissa: LinkedIn, YouTubeTopics discussed: Franchising for entrepreneurs, franchise consulting, mindset shifts for business owners, scaling a business through systems, franchise culture and community, emotional versus analytical decision making, evaluating franchise brands, building generational and legacy wealth through franchising
Suzy Welch joins Matchmaker Maria to break down VALUES and what your core values can reveal about dating, compatibility, marriage, and the life you actually want. They get into why values (not personality) can make or break a relationship, the "divorce values" to watch for, why place and "belovedness" can be major dealbreakers, and whether couples really need to share the same top values. Also, Suzie shares what happened when her daughter and her fiance took the Values Bridge and discovered their top six values were exactly the same!

A positive attitude can go a long way, and that is particularly true when it comes to dating.We all have stories to tell of bad dates, being let down by men we had high hopes for, and wading through bad profiles on the dating apps.But getting downbeat about it all isn't going to help you find love. And a harsh truth is, being around cynical people can rub off on us.Matchmaker Gina Hendrix knows this all too well and how it can lead some women to “go into the cave”. It may seem attractive in the short-term, but once you're in, it's hard to get out.In this episode of Secrets They'll Only Tell a Matchmaker, she flips the script by imagining a hopeful man surrounded by bitter friends telling him women can't be trusted, and makes the case that surrounding yourself with people who've given up on love is one of the fastest ways to sabotage your own dating life.In this lively Q&Q, we hear from a woman who wants to know if buying a boat will make her seem less feminine, how tweaking the hobbies listed on your profile can completely change the caliber of matches the algorithm sends you, and we learn why pre-qualifying is an ongoing process.The conversation turns to a pilot who won't commit, how a snapback led to an increase in effort from one potential suitor, and why sometimes friendship is better than a relationship.The big takeaway from this episode of Secrets They'll Only Tell a Matchmaker with Gina Hendrix: protect your circle, because the wrong table will quietly drag you down before you even notice it's happening - learn the lesson of the “crab mentality”!CHAPTERS:(00:00) Introduction (03:41) Feminine Energy (07:11) Pre-Qualifying Marriage-Minded Men(10:39) Progress Without Chasing(19:47) Red Flags(22:30) Friendship Or Romance(29:19) Crab Bucket Friends

But not Myco. This creative non-binary chooses to change their look constantly with the help of a skin-projector. They can make themselves look like anyone! But that's not all. A surface though implant also helps them catch glimpses of the minds of others. Why? It's hard to be a sociopath and NOT want to hurt people.

Submitted by Basement Goblin Some pixies are small and some are large, and some are 6 feet tall, like the elusive Dogwood. It is easier to find their art on the bodies of heroes, than it is to find the artist. Dogwood resides in the backyard of one of the few buildings that still remains after the sentient ships laid waste to the cities. If you're lucky enough to receive their art, you will find that this 6 winged, 4 armed pixie can bring a bit of whimsy to this desolate landscape.Submit a form here: https://forms.gle/oSMMhMWpvZcLdGPK7 Reach out at Resonantmoon.com/npc-matchmaker This project is for the Dog Days of Advent 2025.

High above Neon City, is a stained glass greenhouse called the Prism Temple. There resides the high priestess of all the witch factions, Aurora Flux.

As lovely as the roses she tends, her words can be a balm, a sharp command, or a scorching reproach. In a place of power it is hard to let anyone close to her heart.

If you want to find love, you've got to jump in with both feet.18 years ago, matchmaker Gina Hendrix was cold-calling billionaires with a shaking hand and a lucky pen. And the mindset shift that took her from those nervous calls to a woman who built a business out of thin air is the same mindset you need if you want to find love.It's about no longer waiting. Waiting for the right time, putting it off until tomorrow, procrastinating. It's about taking a leap of faith and putting yourself out there. That's the only way you'll make progress, get the answers you need from the men you meet, and move on if you need to.In this real, raw, and irreverent Q&A, Gina answers all of your dating questions, and her advice is intended to make taking that leap of faith feel just a little bit easier.We cover how to ask the right questions before, during and after a first date, tips on honest ways to make sure your age isn't a barrier on the dating apps, and how to talk about money - without talking about money.The conversation turns to a widower who left his date perplexed when he suddenly shifted tone, a boundary-testing “handsy guy” who won't be getting a second chance, and why one bad reaction from one man should never rewrite your whole strategy.The big takeaway from this week's episode of the Secrets from a Billionaires' Matchmaker podcast: the women who find exceptional men are the women who stop waiting.New episodes every week.

Joe Rose and the crew discuss the changing workplace environment and how joking around with co-workers can sometimes go too far. The conversation starts with Michael Lombardi's departure from North Carolina after an HR violation, leading Joe to share stories about times he may have crossed the line joking around and a past attempt at playing matchmaker between co-workers that didn't go as planned. Dave even gets involved by joking that Joe should try setting Jamie up.

He doesn't marry the right woman; he marries at the right time. That single idea reframes almost everything about how we think we're supposed to find love. Nelly Sudri is a matchmaker and dating coach who works with high-achieving men and women navigating love, timing, and compatibility in 2026. She joins us for a no-filter conversation about why "wife material" doesn't guarantee a ring, why society's shifting money dynamics are quietly wrecking relationships, and why most people's dating checklists are actually keeping them single.

Some episodes start with breaking news.This one starts with grown adults passionately debating whether the Juicy Fruit commercial was secretly the weirdest advertisement ever made.Welcome to another comedy podcast where absolutely nothing goes according to plan.The crew dives headfirst into nostalgia after discovering an old collection of TV commercials that somehow unlocked memories nobody asked for. One innocent Juicy Fruit jingle quickly turns into an investigation involving skiing, bananas, questionable marketing decisions, and whether "Take a sniff, pull it out" should have ever made it onto national television.Naturally, things only get weirder from there.Moon and Rizz square off once again in another edition of Match Up With Moon, where the trivia somehow covers pocket watches, Salvador Dalí, Oreo history, sunscreen, Weird Al, Netflix originals, Air Bud, Godzilla, James Bond, harmonicas, golf scoring, accordion buttons, and the Bare Naked Ladies...all in one game.It's the kind of trivia round that makes you wonder what exactly King Scott's browser history looks like.Expect plenty of roasting, second-guessing, accidental confidence, forgotten TV shows, wildly incorrect movie franchise guesses, and the usual chaos that somehow keeps this show moving every single morning.Highlights include:• The Juicy Fruit commercial that gets progressively stranger every time they replay it.• Moon trying to identify what flavor Juicy Fruit actually is.• Rafe questioning why gum companies targeted skiers.• Rizz completely blanking on a TV show he absolutely knows.• Air Bud becoming the unexpected MVP of the day.• King Scott asking trivia questions nobody has ever prepared for in their entire lives.• One surprisingly heated debate about accordion bass buttons.As always, the laughs come from watching everyone confidently explain things they absolutely shouldn't be confident about.If you love random conversations that spiral completely out of control, pop culture nonsense, nostalgic commercials, weird facts, and friends roasting each other for nearly half an hour, this comedy podcast has everything you didn't know you needed.Whether you're listening during your commute, pretending to work, or hiding from responsibilities for a little while, thanks for hanging out with us.If you laughed, yelled an answer at your speakers, or immediately wanted to look up an old commercial on YouTube afterward, mission accomplished.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.

Jared Freid is back on Ask a Matchmaker to talk about his new book, Walking Red Flag, and why most dating advice completely misses the average guy's perspective. Jared and Maria dive into the "types of singles," why family setups may be better than dating apps, the difference between "main street" and "alleyway" dating, and whether social media is making dating harder than it needs to be. They also debate TikTok dating rules, the taxi cab theory, Snapchat requests, Uber expectations, and why "if he wanted to, he would" might be terrible advice. Plus, Jared plays a rapid-fire round of "Walking Red Flag or Overthinking It?" and gives his take on some of the internet's favorite dating debates. Support the sponsors, support the show!

Bestie, you might want to grab a notebook for this one. This week, we're joined by TV writer turned matchmaker, dating coach, and author of Your Last First Date: Secrets From a Hollywood Matchmaker, Jaydi Samuels Kuba, to break down what it actually takes to find lasting love in today's dating world. We get into modern dating, matchmaking, dating apps, dealbreakers, and why so many of us may be searching for love the wrong way. We talk about the difference between preferences and true dealbreakers, why instant chemistry isn't always the best predictor of long-term compatibility, and how an endless checklist can keep us from seeing the people who are actually right for us. Jaydi also shares how she accidentally matched herself with her now-husband, what she's learned after helping countless couples find love, and why lasting relationships are built on shared values - not just the fact that you both love dogs, hiking, and spicy margs.

J&J get into a recent article where they mention dating has become a luxury in 2026! From $20 coffee dates to the hidden “pink tax” women pay just to get ready, maybe it really is too expensive to date these days. Then they break down Bumble's new AI matchmaker “Bumblebee,” why Jared thinks dating apps are just slot machines for lonely men, and whether AI is making modern dating even more fake. Plus, an “Icky or Picky” email about a college guy admitting he masturbates to a match's profile photo sparks a surprisingly nuanced conversation about dating expectations, sexual honesty, and learning how to date in your 20s. Later, they unpack a marriage conflict years in the making after a husband still hasn't read his wife's wedding vows, and why “testing” your partner instead of communicating never works.
