On Thursday's show: Houston city officials are facing a looming budget crisis and will need to slash spending or dramatically raise revenue over the next year following a Texas Supreme Court decision on the city's infrastructure spending. The city is grappling with a $100 million price tag for required spending on streets and drainage and now faces a $330 million deficit in 2026. We learn how we got here, and City Controller Chris Hollins joins us to explain his proposed emergency task force to address the situation.Also this hour: Late last month, Houston-based midstream energy giant Kinder Morgan announced plans to move ahead with a liquefied natural gas pipeline project extending more than 200 miles from Katy to Port Arthur. The company says the Trident Intrastate Pipeline could help power millions of homes and businesses. But not everyone is thrilled about it. We discuss the pipeline, projects like it, and the environmental and legal concerns they often raise.Then, we visit the Eternal Gandhi Museum in southwest Houston. It's the first museum in the Americas dedicated to Mahatma Gandhi's legacy of nonviolent conflict resolution.And we visit a weekly Mexican wrestling event in East Houston.
Classical music so often feels divorced from pop culture, but we don't need to dive too deep into the history books to see how much composers of the past embraced the cultural traditions of their homelands. Béla Bartók traveled across Hungary documenting folk songs, Gustav Mahler wove popular tunes into his First Symphony, and even Mozart composed background music for playing the popular card games of his day. Is it possible for today's composers to once again marry concert music with aspects of popular culture? Juan Pablo Contreras thinks so. The Mexican composer-conductor thrives on combining Western classical and Mexican folk music into a single soundscape that's all his own. And in his dazzling 2022 orchestral work Lucha Libre!, he's also incorporating one of his country's most beloved traditions: the choreographed wrestling spectacles that emerged in the 1950s, in which wrestlers act as superheroes waging battles between good and evil. Commissioned by the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, Lucha Libre! transforms the stage into a live wrestling match, with six of the orchestral musicians wearing the iconic luchador masks. For Contreras, the work is not only an example of his artistic mission to bring people into the concert hall with music that feels relevant and exciting, but also a way for him to pay homage to the virtuosity of classical musicians. "For me, classical musicians are like superheroes," Contreras says on the latest episode of the Classical Post podcast. "They do something almost impossible with their instrument. They are very gifted, and they have to do things in collaboration with other musicians so the magic happens. The same thing happens in lucha libre — everything is choreographed, so even if the teams are rivals, they have to work together to give the people a good spectacle." In this episode, recorded just before the work's LA premiere, we talk more about the genesis of the piece, how Contreras collaborated with local communities to shape the work, and how he hopes Lucha Libre! inspires people to consider their own superhero persona. Plus, he shares how film and architecture inspire his creativity, the importance of daily meditation, and his favorite West Hollywood spot for Peruvian paella. Stream Lucha Libre!, performed by the Orquestra Latino Mexicana — a group Contreras founded in his hometown of Guadalajara — on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, or wherever you listen to music. — Classical Post® **is created and produced by Gold Sound Media® LLC, a New York-based marketing agency for the performing arts industry.

El Santo, masks, spandex suits... all were yet to be conceived when Salvador Lutteroth González launched Mexico's first ever national pro wrestling promotion, on 21st September 1933. ‘Lucha Libre' - basically translated as ‘freestyle wrestling' - has its roots in folklore, carnival sideshows and Greco-Roman traditions; but it was only after matches began to be televised in the 1950s that the events truly took flight. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly consider the authenticity of this scripted sport; reveal the surprising source of production finances that enabled the expansion of the promotion; and discuss the luchador who doesn't even fight, except in union disputes… Further Reading: • ‘The Marvel of Mexican Wrestling: A Brief History' (The Daily Iowan, 2021): https://dailyiowan.com/2021/07/27/the-marvel-of-mexican-wrestling-a-brief-history/ • ‘Lucha libre – an introduction to Mexican wrestling' (Lonely Planet, 2015): https://www.lonelyplanet.com/articles/lucha-libre-an-introduction-to-mexican-wrestling • ‘El Santo vs. las Mujeres Vampiro' (1962): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bS7VDneMcM&t=60s Love the show?

I kinda remember being afraid of telling people that. For some reason there was an intimidation with that role.” (17:51) (Chris) “I think that we are going through an evolution in the Agency space. Leadership is so important. You have to learn how to lead a team otherwise you won't survive this latest evolution.” (21:58) (Chris) “‘D' stands for ‘Dream Team.' ‘U' stands for ‘Unstick Your Processes.' ‘D' stands for ‘Discover and Develop.'

Instead of just trying to hire people in Tijuana, Mexico, let's see if we can find people in other parts of the country.' And so, then our team really started to expand.” (34:22) (Chris) “I think, from a hosting perspective, I really try to shift the interviews to finding something unique that this person can say.

content: Mar 13, 2017 · podcast: Nov 14, 2020 Audio (MP3): 20170323 - Looking for a road to walk One of my absolute favorite lines in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous is the last pertinent idea of How It Works (PDF): God could and would if he were sought. We only have to seek god, that is all. Half the time I don’t feel in touch with anything but I’m looking for a road to walk, searching for spiritual footing. I'm questing, out to slay demogorgons and smell the flowers. When I first got sober I had to climb out of that damn hole I'd dug and unfortunately when I got out there was a huge hill before me. And then it was all uphill from there. The good news though is that the incline isn’t as steep the higher we climb, the farther we go. No matter what I'm going through, the pain, the anxiety, the fear, the emotional puke -- they all gradually relax their grips the more I keep walking through whatever fire has been lit.[1] Then one day I realize that my feets are no longer smoking and only mildly warm, just a smolder. It feels chaotic at times because the pain seems to come in lightning bolts that I was never expecting.[2] I've always felt blindsided by them. What the fuck was that? And then it can take months or even years to recover from those bolts. It'd be nice if pain went away as fast as it seems to come but it doesn't. So what I do is pray for miracles because God could and would if sought. God just does for us what we cannot do for ourselves. Lightning bolts can come out of the blue but so do miracles. As an example: we'd moved to Oregon state in late 2000 right before the tech bubble publicly burst in 2001. It was impossible for me to find work and financial times were lean and then dire. In 2004 I hadn't worked full time in I don't know how long. I'd applied for jobs of all shapes and sizes, had my resume on all the online job boards, blah, blah. I mean, you have applied to everything on wheels from Toyota to Schwinn. You're gonna get a job any day now.– Caroline Butler, Mr. Mom And then one day I'm watching Mexican Wrestling in broad daylight and I get a phone call[3] from a recruiter looking to fill a contract spot at Microsoft. Again, what the fuck was that? I couldn't believe it. Why the hell would someone call me of all people to go hammer on a keyboard at Microsoft? I worked there for a year as a contractor and then full-time until late 2006, met some of the best people I've ever known. My world was all of a sudden bigger inside and out. It was one of those eras in life that I still treasure when I look back. My point is that one phone call from Vinny changed everything, changed everything from there on out. For the better. It's like when you're walking down a street in a shady neighborhood and then turn right and all of a sudden you're in the safest, hippest part of town. Even though I was drinking at the time I knew that telephone ring was all God's grace. It wasn't anything I'd done, wasn't anything I'd surely deserved. It's easy to loose sight of hope when the times are dark but expect miracles, peeps. They're coming soon to a theater near you -- just be open to receiving them and then embrace them when they come. And please don't think I've transcended up to any spiritual, moral higher ground. Some days I get sucked into playing video games for hours because I don't wanna climb no damn hills. Or I'll watch Mexican wrestling because it makes me feel good and distracts me from responsibilities and real life. It's risky but I do it because I don't have any real consequences. So with all that said, my actions seem to influence how I feel much more than the other way around. If I act like an asshole then I feel like one. If I act like a good person then I feel like one, too. I just try to be the best me that I can in any given moment. And then I seek god's will. That's all. Last thing: just look for God and worry about the finding later. #alcoholism #advancedsoul #lettherebehope #diariespodcast Generally I lit the fire ↑ Generally because I've got my head stuck in the sand ↑ I never answer the phone so the mere fact that I did is a miracle in itself ↑ teresels · Mar 13, 2017 at 8:28 pm Sought, not even necessarily found $m.wand.ajax_click=true;$m.wand.lightswitch=true; tcr! · Mar 13, 2017 at 8:31 pm Yep, exactly $m.wand.ajax_click=true;$m.wand.lightswitch=true; Pris257 · Mar 14, 2017 at 1:15 pm That was a good read.

Karl Stern brings you a new Old Tyme Wrestling Hour Podcast. On this episode: the pioneer era of wrestling in Mexico isn't what I expected. In fact, it appears Asian in origin with links to Jui Jitsu and American frontier wrestling combined into one thing. It gets weird. Also, a man died during a match and literally killed the town as well for a long time. One of our valued friends and Patreons Aaron Gartlan grew up in the heart of the Continental - SECW area and joins me to talk wrestling at the Houston County Farm Center and more.
Part 1 in a new mini-series focusing on the beloved Los Angeles show, LUCHA VAVOOM!

Previously, she managed the heavy metal gore band GWAR (look them up if you don't know who they are) in Richmond, VA. Liz has made a 17 year career as the impressario of high glam sexo y violencia with Lucha Vavoom, as well as designing/fabricating outrageous costumes for the film industry and art world.

felling a bit down Michael just wants to talk about Mexican Wrestling
On this special episode of Cinema Royale, I get to indulge in two of my favorite things ever: movies and professional wrestling. Lucha Mexico directors Alex Hammond and Ian Markiewicz join me to talk about their new documentary on Mexico's wild, mysterious, dazzling world of Lucha Libre!
First Best Of Enemies co-director Robert Gordon joins us to talk about the hotly engaged debates between intellectual giants Gore Vidal and William F Buckley. The two despised each other and their mutual hatred came out on live television during the 1968 presidential campaign. ABC hosted 10 live debates during the presidential convention season, and the two men sparred of over issues of the day, that still resonate in the political arena. Vidal was coming off his recent publocation of the political satire Myra Breckenridge, featuring a transgendered woman who takes revenge on the Hollywood insiders who screwed up her life when she was a man.Buckley was the leading voice of conservative thinkers . Both thought the others philosophies and ways of life would harm the American culture. The resulting debates were as compelling as any classic boxing match.Then Lucha Mexico Filmmakers Alex Hammond & Ian Markowicz join us to talk about their excellent entry in this weekend's NYC DOC festival. The film explores the history and traditions of Mexican Wrestling and the Arena Mexico, home to the Lucha Libre telecasts and matches . We see the stories of current wrestlers like Shocker, Blue Demon Jr, Jon Strongman and others.

The Passive Aggressive Podcast with Ben Rosenfeld and Bobby haha
Bobby and Ben welcome comedian Ray Gootz to discuss Marco Rubio running for president, more cop shootings, the history of Mexican wrestling, Chibok Nigeria kidnappings, NY Attorney General suing for on call scheduling, Ben and Jerry's giving out free ice cream, Suge Knight's hit and run victim not testifying, Russia giving weapons to Iran, liquid water found on Mars, the USGA Masters, Google not caring what college you went to, Lawerence Phillips charged with murder and user tweets.
Luchador: Mexican Wrestling Dice is the design of Mark Rivera and brings to the table the feeling of a wrestling match on the table. And it does pretty well at that! Released at Spiel 2013, the game was a sold-out in days and it’s been well received. Simple to play, silly fun and lots of dice rolling make a compelling experience that’s just fun. Not a lot of thinking, not a lot of arguing… just fun. Each player represents a wrestler and the dice will determine the moves for each player and the result of the roll will determine who lasts the longest in the ring. With a team play game available, swapping places with your friends to roll the dice really seems to double the fun. Now Backspindle games, the publisher behind the game, has taken onto Kickstarter to fund a second edition of the game with more werstlers, more gameplay and more fun. I spoke to Mark Rivera and Dave Brashaw to find out more about this new edition of the game that should be gracing your collection very soon. Even sooner if you back the Kickstarter project! Hope you enjoy the show!
