Podcast appearances and mentions of Mel Brooks

Un livre, Un lecteur, émission présentée par Florence Berthout. Elle reçoit Iegor Groudiev, pour le livre « Les douze chaises » d'Ilf et Petrov À propos du livre : « Les douze chaises » paru aux éditions Librairie du Globe Il n'y a pas eu, pendant toute la durée d'existence de l'Union soviétique, ni même probablement de nos jours, d'écrivains contemporains de langue russe plus célèbres qu'eux. Pourquoi connaît-on infiniment mieux, en Occident, un Gorki ou un Soljenitsyne alors que ce sont Ilf et Petroy qui ont battu tous les records de tirage en langue russe à la seule exception de Lénine, dont la lecture était largement imposée ? Les Douze chaises les ont fait connaître en 1928. Jusqu'alors Ilf et Petrov écrivaient séparément. C'est un roman picaresque, un peu dans le genre du meilleur Mark Twain, une chasse au trésor conduite par un escroc sympathique qui fait assez largement figure de justicier. Contrepoison aux misères de la vie et à la montée de la terreur, dénonciation joyeuse de tous les profiteurs cyniques du capital comme de l'idéologie, le roman connut immédiatement un succès inouÏ. Certaines personnes le connaissaient par cœur. Sept films au moins en ont été tirés, dont celui du jeune Mel Brooks et celui, plus récent et excellent, du metteur en scène soviétique Léonide Gaïdaï. La première traduction française, faite immédiatement (1929), a été détruite pendant la grande crise économique. Puis il y a eu le stalinisme et la guerre froide. Parallèlement, de 1939 à 1956, les auteurs cessèrent d'être publiés en URSS, après quoi on les réédita, au rythme de millions d'exemplaires pas an, et cela n'a jamais cessé. Les Russes, les Ukrainiens, les Ouzbeks, les Israéliens, les Polonais, les Tchèques et bien d'autres peuples (l'humour new-yorkais en dérive en droite ligne) se régalent toujours à la lecture de ce chef-d'œuvre d'humour corrosif dont les types humains ont transcendé leur époque avec la même force que ceux de Gogol, de Balzac ou de Dickens. A l'heure où la Russie enfin ouverte se tourne largement vers nous, ne boudons pas ce qui fut si longtemps leur plaisir ! Nous publierons prochainement Le Veau d'or, deuxième et dernier roman des mêmes auteurs : il a connu un succès tout aussi foudroyant que le premier.

In a humorous and offbeat episode of Tangent Station, our hosts dive into the unpredictable world of the World Cup. They discuss the quirks of the games, from a goalie who loses his nerve to the whimsical notion of sponsoring halftime with hemorrhoid cream. The duo pokes fun at outrageous ads and the fervent energy of fans waking at odd hours to celebrate their teams. With tangents leading to Mel Brooks references and cat-related stories, listeners are taken on a rollercoaster of laughter, connected by the singular belief: referees are always at fault.

Little Sister joins us this week as we talk about 1776, Bad Jokes, Outlander, Game of Thrones, Parade of Horribles, Crowns of Nyaxia, Romantacy, Mel Brooks, Minions, Animaniacs, The Man Who Died Seven Times, The Music Man, Hoppers, LitRPG, Darling of Fate, Iced Tea, Death Has Joined the Party, PlayStation Physical Media, Vegas, Project Phoenix on Kickstarter, and the Xbox layoffs.

Jill Lepore is a Harvard professor and contributing writer to the New Yorker. Her books include The Secret History of Wonder Woman, New York Burning, These Truths: A History of the United States, and her latest, We the People: A History of the U.S. Constitution – and instant New York Times bestseller.   This year is the semi-quincentennial of the United States of America and, as Lepore points out, also the anniversary of constitutionalism.  There's no better guide through American history than Jill Lepore, and it is a delight to spend an hour in civics class led by someone who readily references Mel Brooks and AI in a discussion about the Constitution. Lepore is interviewed by OPB's Geoff Norcross, host of All Things Considered. They discuss Lepore's Amendments Project, which catalogues all the amendments that have been proposed throughout history, and explore why it is so difficult to amend the Constitution and the story of how some of the amendments we do have (there are 27, including the 10 in the Bill of Rights) came to be. They talk about originalism and the pessimism of the framers, who believed that any man would be a tyrant if given power, and set up the checks and balances in our Constitution to give the legislature, the court, and the people – with the vote – the power to oust a tyrant.    A few notes to listeners just for clarity:   It's mentioned “what is Congress doing right now,” this was during the November 2025 government shut down.  Jill is not in the room with the audience; Jill was unable to join us in Portland due to a last-minute travel issue (related to the shut down, frankly), but very gamely came in on video while Geoff Norcross and the audience were in the theater.   Jill Lepore is the David Woods Kemper '41 Professor of American History at Harvard University and Professor of Law at Harvard Law School. She is also a staff writer at The New Yorker. As a wide-ranging and prolific essayist, and winner of the PEN prize for the Art of the Essay, Lepore writes about American history, law, literature, and politics. She is the author of many award-winning books, including the international bestseller, These Truths: A History of the United States (2018). Her newest book is We the People: A History of the U.S. Constitution, which was published this September.  As one of the local hosts of OPB's “All Things Considered,” Geoff Norcross shares local and regional stories to audiences of NPR's flagship newsmagazine. Previously, Geoff was the host of OPB's “Morning Edition” for 15 years. He was part of the team that built the program into one of the most listened-to presentations of “Morning Edition” in the country.

Ken Rosato fills in for Mark Simone and kicks things off by talking about Zohran Mamdani's tip to keep your AC at 78 degrees. Apparently, that's the magic number during this wild tri-state heat wave. Ken also got into the idea of using AI-powered plants to help out the energy grid, breaking down the pros and cons in plain English. And with so many nuclear and energy plants shutting down, he pointed out it's no surprise our energy bills keep climbing. Ken takes your calls! Ken interviews Roger Friedman from Showbiz 411. The burning question: Did Taylor Swift already tie the knot, or is the wedding happening tonight? Either way, she and Travis are making headlines with their massive donations. Roger also gave us a fun update on Mel Brooks, how he's doing, and what movies he's been working on lately. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The tri-state area faced scorching temps over 102 degrees. His advice? Find some great air conditioning, whether it's a movie theater or the supermarket, and take it easy! Ken also took a closer look at New Jersey's budget, compared it to NYC's, and even brought Florida into the conversation. Even though Florida has a much bigger population, their budget is managed very differently. Ken broke down how socialism factors into these financial decisions. Ken interviews David Bobb, President and CEO of the Bill of Rights Institute. They talked about why the Declaration of Independence was written, who made it happen, and how it sparked a bunch of new ideas for the United States after winning independence.

The GLoP crew celebrates America's 250th birthday the only way they know how: by trying to name five movies that explain the country and somehow ending up in a ditch full of Fire Birds, Paper Moon, The Best Years of Our Lives, the mayor from Jaws, Mel Brooks at 100, Gila monsters, late-stage capitalism, early-stage diarrhea, and the eternal question of whether this is still technically a pop-culture podcast. It's patriotic, digressive, occasionally disgusting, and probably more grateful for Western civilization than Western civilization deserves.

Thanks to our Partners, Pico Technology, and AutelWatch Full Video EpisodeA Dodge Durango came into the shop for a second opinion after being suspected of needing a transmission. The symptoms sounded convincing at first: harsh shifts, apparent slipping, no diagnostic trouble codes, and a vehicle that felt completely wrong on the road. But the actual problem was much simpler. The Durango was stuck in four-low. Once shifted properly through neutral, the harsh shifting, driveline bind, and “slipping” behavior disappeared.Matt uses the case as a springboard into a broader discussion about diagnostic tunnel vision. The point is not just that someone almost condemned a transmission unnecessarily. The deeper issue is how easily a first impression can become the diagnosis. Once the vehicle felt like it was slipping, everything after that could be interpreted through that lens. That is where anchoring, confirmation bias, and premature closure start to become dangerous.The episode also compares the Durango case to a more common misfire scenario. A vehicle comes in with a misfire, the scan tool identifies a cylinder, the car line is known for coil failures, and the diagnosis becomes a coil and plug before much testing happens. That gamble may work most of the time, but the process failure is still there. Being right by probability is not the same as proving the fault.Matt also shares a personal example involving a Mini Cooper that was nearly misdiagnosed as needing a turbo. The actual issue was cam/crank timing related. The mistake became a difficult but important lesson in responsibility, process, and making things right with the customer.The episode closes with a nod to Mel Brooks on his 100th birthday, including Matt's Mount Rushmore of Mel Brooks films: Blazing Saddles, Spaceballs, The Producers, and History of the World, Part One.Watch Durango VideoKey TopicsWhy the Durango seemed like it had a major transmission failureHow four-low can mimic slipping, harsh shifting, and driveline problemsThe importance of reading the owner's manual when unfamiliar indicators appearAnchoring, confirmation bias, and premature closure in diagnosticsWhy “incompetent” may be technically accurate but often incomplete as an explanationThe ethical problem of charging for the wrong repair when the real fix is simpleWhy common failures can make weak testing feel justifiedHow probabilistic diagnosis can work until it does notThe value of owning a mistake and making it rightMel Brooks, comedy, and Matt's Mount Rushmore of Mel Brooks filmsPull Quote Options“The first impression is often the most dangerous piece of data in the whole diagnostic process.”“Being right most of the time does not mean the process was right.”“Customers should not be paying for our anchoring, our confirmation bias, and our premature closure.”“The real danger is not being wrong. The real danger is being done too early.”Episode TakeawaysA symptom that feels obvious can still be misleading. The Durango felt like it was slipping, but the transmission was not the problem.A flashing indicator or odd message on the dash may be the clue. The owner's manual may not feel like a diagnostic tool, but sometimes it is.Common failures can create lazy confidence. A known coil failure pattern or common turbo issue may point in the right direction, but it does not replace verification.Premature closure is expensive. It can cost the customer, the shop, or both.Ethics matter most when the mistake is discovered after the repair. The customer should not pay for a part that did not fix the vehicle just because the shop eventually stumbled into the real fix.A good diagnostic process should include forced questions: What am I anchored to? What evidence am I accepting too easily? What would prove my theory wrong?Thanks to our Partner, Pico TechnologyAre you chasing elusive automotive problems?

President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia faced a fresh round of pressure on Tuesday as Ukraine launched another attack on the Russian capital, continued to disrupt Russian fuel supplies and pressed its campaign to cut off Crimea, the peninsula Moscow annexed from Ukraine in 2014. Putin could be "forced to surrender," but the underlying story is really about whether Ukraine's expanding drone campaign, pressure on Russian logistics, and economic difficulties can push Russia toward negotiations. Analysts cited in the report argue this may be Ukraine's strongest position in years, though Russia still retains substantial military and economic capacity and the war's outcome remains far from settled. The Post's editorial argues that alleged influence-based business dealings by Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and associates deserve the same scrutiny that Republicans previously directed at Hunter Biden. The board's central message is that ethical standards should apply equally to both political families, regardless of party. Happy Birthday Cpl. Mel Brooks, U.S. Army (Ret). A man that taught the world to laugh about some of the hardest periods in history through his deep understanding of what it was like to live through it.

There are normal radio shows... and then there's whatever happened today.This daily comedy episode kicks off with a passionate (and surprisingly heated) debate over the greatest American bands of all time. Aerosmith? Metallica? The Beach Boys? Pearl Jam? Eagles? Somebody is wrong, somebody gets roasted, and nobody leaves happy.Then Kenny Chesney somehow steals the spotlight before he even performs. Between Shirt Nation jokes, concert cancellations, and rumors surrounding Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's possible wedding, the crew has plenty to say—and almost none of it is nice.Kate Beckinsale reminds everyone that grief doesn't always look the same after revealing that coping with personal tragedy involved prank calls and mooning people from a hotel window. Naturally, the gang spends far too long discussing whether society unfairly abandoned the fine art of mooning sometime after Y2K.Speaking of questionable history... conspiracy theorists are convinced someone attended Elvis Presley's final concert with an iPhone decades before smartphones existed. Is it proof of time travel? An old camera? A vape? The Rizz Show investigates with the scientific rigor you'd expect from people arguing about Don Henley's FBI search history five minutes earlier.The celebrity gossip keeps rolling with Noah Kahan begging concertgoers to stop leaving surprises on venue floors, Alan Jackson's emotional farewell concert, Bill Maher's Mark Twain Prize, Mel Brooks turning 100, and a surprisingly heartfelt conversation about legendary supergroups that disappeared way too soon.Somewhere in the middle, Riz announces a concert he'll absolutely attend, the crew argues over Taylor Swift's rumored wedding location, Kenny Chesney gets called out for canceling shows, and everyone discovers there are apparently multiple ways to accidentally become internet-famous.It's another chaotic ride packed with celebrity news, weird news, music debates, conspiracy theories, sarcastic humor, and the completely unnecessary confidence that only The Rizzuto Show can deliver.If you enjoy ridiculous conversations that somehow bounce from classic rock to celebrity gossip to time-traveling Elvis without ever touching the brakes, congratulations—you've found your people.This daily comedy episode delivers everything you'd expect from The Rizzuto Show: laughs, debates, pop culture commentary, questionable life advice, and absolutely zero guarantees that any topic will stay on track for more than two minutes.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/RizzShowHear 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.

How a teenage girl's waking dream birthed what is (probably) the first science fiction novel – and in the process gave the world its most enduring image of technology gone wrong. This time we're coming for the myth, the curse, the cliche that is Frankenstein. John Helmer and Ezri Carlebach climb up the tower, point the lightning conductor to the heart of the storm, and attach electrical cables to the neck-bolts of that fearful thing on the slab. Yes, it may be 200-years old but ... it's alive! They walk through the original 1818 plot — stranger and bleaker than the films — weigh the long-running argument over whether it really counts as science fiction, and trace the monster's afterlife from the 1910 Edison short and James Whale's 1931 classic to Boris Karloff, Mel Brooks, Eddie Van Halen's "Frankenstrat", Guillermo del Toro ... and beyond. In this episode: What really happened at the Villa Diodati in 1816? The radical parents and a childhood shadowed by death that made Mary Shelley Born in the age of revolutions: Enlightenment values battles alchemy and the occult How two Brits, James Whale and Boris Karloff, created a look for the creature in their famous 1931 film that resonated through a thousand sequels, rip-offs and pisstakes Did Mary Shelley predict the death of God?

In this episode of Reading With Your Kids, we're celebrating humor, heart, and the power of picture books to bring families together. Most of our time is spent with Ann Koffsky, author of Blazing Humor: Mel Brooks Is Seriously Funny. Ann and Jed dive into why Mel Brooks' comedy, while very much for adults, still offers a powerful, kid-friendly life story. Ann talks about the challenge of sharing a famously edgy comedian with young readers—focusing not on the racy jokes, but on Mel's resilience, his use of humor to face bullies, racism, and hard times, and his joyful Jewish identity. She describes curating a YouTube playlist of kid-appropriate Mel Brooks clips and reflects on how picture books might be one of the last truly shared media experiences for grown-ups and kids. Together, they explore how humor can be a survival skill in an angry, algorithm-driven world. Next, Evelina Ruimy joins the show to introduce The Kind Bunny, the first in her Hops Tales series. Written during a frightening wildfire evacuation, the book helps families talk about unkind words, hurt feelings, and why kindness begins with how we treat ourselves. Evelina shares how Bunny chooses to answer rudeness with kindness, turning conflict into friendship, and how parents can use the story to start meaningful conversations about bullying and self-worth. Finally, Bob Richley stops by to chat about Redeeming Rhubarb, a middle-grade novel about a mouse, a rat, and what it really means to love your enemies—even when you've been taught to hate them.

In the latest, absolutely unmissable episode of the We Think It's Funny podcast, regular co-host Danny Lobell is joined by stand-up comedian Alan Bursky, who does a fantastic job filling in for Mark Schiff. Together, they sit down with the legendary 95-year-old comedy writer and actor, Rudy DeLuca, for a wildly entertaining, fast-paced history lesson. DeLuca dives deep into his incredible career, sharing rare behind-the-scenes memories of co-writing classic Mel Brooks films like High Anxiety and Dracula: Dead and Loving It, including what it was really like working alongside the great Leslie Nielsen. The trio takes listeners back to Rudy's early childhood roots in the Bronx, mapping out exactly how he broke into the entertainment industry and eventually found himself hanging out with icons like Elvis Presley and Sammy Shore. Things get hilarious and brilliantly nostalgic when Rudy and Alan look back on their own 50-plus year friendship, reminiscing about the historic 1972 opening night of The Comedy Store and the unforgettable time Rudy actually threw a young Alan out of the venue. From the infamous Comedy Store strike and Mitzi Shore stories to irreplaceable life advice from a man who has seen it all, this episode acts as a masterclass in Hollywood history.
