In this episode of Whistle Talk, Michael D'Ambrosio and Daniel Chamberlain delve into the intricacies of football officiating, discussing philosophies, rules, and the importance of communication. They explore how officiating impacts game flow, the balance between strict rule enforcement and allowing players to play, and the significance of adapting officiating styles to different levels of competition. The conversation emphasizes the need for officials to maintain a strong understanding of rules while also applying common sense and ensuring the safety and fairness of the game. Throughout the discussion, they share personal anecdotes and insights, making it clear that officiating is as much about people skills as it is about rules and mechanics.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Whistle Talk01:56 Football Officiating Philosophies07:02 The Three-Legged Stool of Officiating09:04 Balancing Rules and Game Flow17:43 Core Officiating Principles24:32 Specific Play Analysis: DPI and OPI27:27 Understanding Ineligible Players and Downfield Blocking28:53 Challenges of RPOs for Offensive Linemen31:27 Defensive Pass Interference: Key Considerations36:15 Offensive Pass Interference: Defining the Foul41:56 Situational Rules and Game Management48:12 Late Game Strategies and Timeout Management50:52 Navigating the Complexity of Holding Calls53:41 Defensive Strategies and Officiating Challenges55:30 The Complexity of Outside Zone Plays58:45 Understanding Defensive Holding and Its Implications01:00:39 Communication and Play Clock Management01:02:13 Preventative Officiating and Game Management01:04:04 Building Credibility and Common Sense in Officiating01:08:04 Philosophy of Excellence in OfficiatingResourceshttps://www.suburbanofficials.org/1_SOA-HS_Football_Philosophies.pdfhttps://njfoashore.com/

This episode features a long-awaited conversation between host Michael and guest Paul Nadeau, a former hostage negotiator, international peacekeeper, and detective Michael expressed his thanks that they finally connected, and both men gave a shout-out to their colleague and friend, King.  The interview was recorded at the end of October 2025 and delves into Paul's intriguing and impactful 32-year career, 20 of which were spent working in major crimes. The Journey into Law Enforcement and Negotiation Paul explained that his path to becoming a policeman was set at a young age. After suffering abuse from his father, he promised himself at age seven, "When I grow up, I'm going to be a policeman so I can arrest you". Later, his father took his own life with the same rifle he had used years earlier to kill "Santa Claus". Paul began working at ages 13 or 14 to pay room and board, which unknowingly taught him negotiation skills and an ability to communicate with adults and read people. After his father died, Paul joined a suicide hotline in Oshawa, Ontario, where he was trained for months and spent hours listening to suicidal people, preparing him for a police career. Paul shared the pivotal moment that demonstrated his natural negotiation ability: a 911 call where he was the first responder to a man attempting suicide. The man had a noose around his neck, a bottle of Jack Daniels, and a box cutter. Though Paul was not yet a hostage negotiator, he began talking to the man as he would have on the suicide line. About 40 minutes later, Paul talked the man off the chair, realizing he had a special talent. This experience later encouraged him to apply for and pass the tests to become an RCMP-approved hostage negotiator. Paul noted that the events he suffered when he was younger actually happened for him, and he encouraged listeners to consider how past trauma may have shaped them into who they are today, urging them to "let go of the pain". The Hostage Effect The conversation turned to Paul's latest book, The Hostage Effect. Paul posits that a huge part of the world is currently suffering from this condition, which he describes as a "psychological virus". Definition: The Hostage Effect occurs when people feel like hostages without the use of bars, cells, or chains, due to uncertainty, fear, and manipulation. Causes: This feeling stems from current global issues, including wars, governments eroding democracies, and daily announcements that threaten citizens' lives. Paul cited examples of governments attempting to pass bills that threaten privacy and free expression, leading to widespread anxiety and fear. He noted that when he was in the Middle East, he saw an entire country held hostage through this fear and manipulation. The Book as a Guide: Paul emphasized that The Hostage Effect is a blueprint and call to action that offers awareness and steps to take control of one's mental wellness. It serves as a guide for people to retain their autonomy and agency. Michael praised the book, calling it a "gamechanger" that provides renewed awareness, hope, and "quite frankly permission to take back control of your life". Core Lessons Learned Paul shared two valuable lessons he learned throughout his career that listeners can immediately use in their lives. We are more similar than we are different: Paul noted that regardless of skin color, preferences, or religion, "We all laugh, love, and bleed in the same way". This realization allows individuals to imagine what it's like to be in another person's shoes, fostering compassion and effective communication. Paul used this approach in units like sexual assault and child abuse, understanding that if he were the victim, he would want a compassionate officer to approach him. You get what you give: If you approach others with dignity, respect, passion, and understanding, you are likely to receive the same in return. Paul provided powerful examples of this lesson in action: a terrorist saved his life because of how he had treated him in the Middle East, and criminals came to his defense when he was being beaten because of ways he had treated them in the past. Paul stressed the importance of focusing on the things we can control, citing Victor Frankl, who said that everything can be taken away but "our power to choose our responses to the situations that we're in". Listeners interested in finding out more about Paul's work or his book can run his name through the internet or AI.

===== MDJ Script/ Top Stories for October 17th Publish Date:  October 17th    Commercial: From the BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Friday, October 17th and Happy Birthday to Alan Jackson I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Cobb County Sheriff's Office welcomes newest GED graduates ACT scores increase in Cobb, dip in Marietta KSU student arrested after protesting Charlie Kirk memorial Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on grass fed beef 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 Markets 10 STORY 1: Cobb County Sheriff's Office welcomes newest GED graduates The Cobb County Sheriff’s Office hosted its third GED graduation of the year on Oct. 8, right inside the Adult Detention Center. Seven detainees walked away with diplomas in hand—proof that change is possible, even behind bars. Since the program launched in March 2024, over 30 detainees have earned their GEDs. The ceremony was heartfelt, with speeches from Chief Deputy Rhonda Anderson, Col. Michael Williams, and Dr. Kim Kranzlin of Cobb Adult Education. The program isn’t easy—four subjects, a minimum score of 145, and 40+ hours of study. But for these seven, it’s a step toward something better. STORY 2: ACT scores increase in Cobb, dip in Marietta  ACT scores are in, and Cobb County is celebrating its highest average in four years, while Marietta High saw a slight dip. Cobb’s average jumped to 23.7 (up 0.9 points), while Marietta landed at 22.2 (down 0.5). Both still outpaced state (21.4) and national (19.4) averages. Wheeler High led Cobb with a stellar 28.5 average, even climbing 2.5 points from last year. Meanwhile, Marietta students continued to outperform state and national peers in every subject, despite the slight drop. “Success takes time,” said Marietta Superintendent Grant Rivera. “Hard work and curiosity drive our students forward.” Georgia students, for the ninth year, beat the national average. STORY 3: KSU student arrested after protesting Charlie Kirk memorial  A protest at Kennesaw State University’s memorial for conservative activist Charlie Kirk ended in chaos Tuesday night, with one student, Luca Compiani, 18, arrested on charges of battery and obstruction. According to police, Compiani “intentionally” bumped into KSU Police Capt. Timothy Murphy in a “provoking manner” and fled when confronted. Protesters, however, claim the situation was escalated unnecessarily, calling the arrest “a gross abuse of authority.” The memorial, hosted by Young Americans for Liberty, drew both supporters and protesters. Some shouted chants, others threw ketchup at a flag. Despite the tension, organizers said the event achieved its goal: promoting free speech—even amid dissent.

Break: Ingles Markets 10 STORY 4: 1,100+ voters cast ballots on Day 1 of early voting  Nearly 1,200 Cobb County voters turned out Monday for the first day of early voting, with Marietta leading the charge. Of the 1,193 ballots cast, 481 came from the Cobb Elections Main Office, while Mableton saw 221 voters at the South Cobb Community Center. Michael D’Itri, acting director of Cobb Elections, said turnout usually starts strong, dips mid-period, then surges in the final days. For Marietta voter Chris Danos, 28, the mayoral race is top of mind. “We need better transportation options,” he said. Meanwhile, Dan and Vicki Rupnow, who moved from Atlanta, love Marietta’s walkability and lighter traffic. “It’s perfect for us,” they said.

His debut album, Brown Sugar (1995), and his critically acclaimed follow-up, Voodoo (2000), solidified his legacy, featuring hits like "Brown Sugar," "Lady," and "Untitled (How Does It Feel)". The family expressed their heartbreak over his passing but expressed gratitude for the "legacy of extraordinarily moving music" he leaves behind and requested privacy during their time of mourning.

Eamon Carr has had the most fascinating life –poet, playwright, sports journalist, copywriter in an ad agency, entertainment journalist. Oh.. and he was also a founding member of one of Ireland most unique and iconic bands, The Horslips! (the band responsible for that amazing guitar sample in ‘put em under pressure' from Italia 90). Eamon takes me right back to the start of Horslips and into their heyday, and we also talk about life on the road as a musician and the toll that rock n roll living can take. Eamon also talks about some of the most interesting people that he has interviewed over his long career as a journalist.This is the topic of his latest book, Pure Gold, full of brilliant stories about his interviews with greats including Shane MacGowan, Jack Charlton, Gay Byrne, Sinead O'Connor, and many more.COMEDY – its all about the Presidential race at the moment and we're hearing lots from the candidates. But what about Michael D, what's going on with him behind the closed doors of the Aras??Produced by Patrick Haughey, AudioBrand

A dystopian fusion of human and machine is being pushed on us by a big tech elite. Michael D.B. Harvey, author of The Age of Humachines: Big Tech and the Battle for Humanity's Future, warns of the 'humachinator' worldview that weds unrestrained technology and capitalism - and what we might do to reclaim a future rooted in democracy and ecological balance. Highlights include: How the 'humachine' blurs the line between human and machine, technologizing everything and everyone; How the history of scientism and empiricism has led humachinators to imagine the brain as a computer and the body as a machine and the belief that engineering can control humanity, biophysical laws, and even death itself; How big tech oligarchs merge unfettered science with unfettered capitalism to produce 'ultrascience'; Why big tech oligarchs' faith in unrestrained technology and markets has merged into 'ontocapitalism' - a form of capitalism that commodifies nature and all human experience; How humachinators use 'tricknology' to hype their technologies and get us, especially the young, addicted to their products; What the five types of humachination are: cognitive, emotional, relational, the mechanized human, and a totalizing daily environment where our lives are surveilled, interpreted, and mediated by machines; How the extreme individualism in Silicon Valley undermines democracy and collective decision-making; How the 'G' word, growth, is behind all the humachinators' actions and dreams; Why our relationship with technology is ultimately political, not inevitable, and that we need to resist big tech oligarchs who profit most from unrestricted technology; Why we need to move from CIMENT values (competitiveness, individualism, materialism, elitism, nationalism, and technologism) to CANDID values (cooperative, altruistic, non-materialist, democratic, internationalist, and deferential to nature) - and how we might shift those values. See episode website for show notes, links, and transcript:  https://www.populationbalance.org/podcast/michael-db-harvey   OVERSHOOT | Shrink Toward Abundance OVERSHOOT tackles today's interlocked social and ecological crises driven by humanity's excessive population and consumption. The podcast explores needed narrative, behavioral, and system shifts for recreating human life in balance with all life on Earth. With expert guests from wide-ranging disciplines, we examine the forces underlying overshoot: from patriarchal pronatalism that is fueling overpopulation, to growth-biased economic systems that lead to consumerism and social injustice, to the dominant worldview of human supremacy that subjugates animals and nature. Our vision of shrinking toward abundance inspires us to seek pathways of transformation that go beyond technological fixes toward a new humanity that honors our interconnectedness with all beings.  Hosted by Nandita Bajaj and Alan Ware.

MDJ Script/ Top Stories for September 17th Publish Date:  September 17th    Commercial: From the BG Ad Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Wednesday, September 17th and Happy Birthday to Hank Williams I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Cobb elections director not to return after leave Sawyer Road Elementary celebrates 20 years with $7.7M renovation reveal Three arrested, charged in east Cobb Waffle House fight 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 1 STORY 1: Cobb elections director not to return after leave  After less than two years on the job, Cobb County Elections Director Tate Fall is stepping down—for good. Fall, who came to Cobb from Arlington County, Virginia, was appointed in late 2023 and has since overseen nine elections, including the 2024 General Election. But last month, she requested leave, and now it’s official: she won’t be back. In her absence, Michael D’Itri, a longtime county employee and Elections Prep Center manager, has stepped in as acting director. Why is Fall leaving? The county isn’t saying, and Fall herself hasn’t commented. STORY 2: Sawyer Road Elementary celebrates 20 years with $7.7M renovation reveal  Sawyer Road Elementary just hit the big 2-0, and it’s looking better than ever. Thanks to a $7.7 million renovation, the school got a serious glow-up—new floors, ceilings, lighting, windows, paint, and even a revamped media center. The upgrades, funded by the E-SPLOST VI program, were unveiled Monday during a ribbon-cutting ceremony. “This isn’t just fresh paint and new windows,” said board member Kerry Minervini. “It’s an investment in our kids’ futures.” Fifth-grader Adamary Lopez-Cisneros summed it up perfectly: “It’s like watching your house get remodeled. It feels special—like they care about us.” And honestly? It shows. STORY 3: Three arrested, charged in east Cobb Waffle House fight It was chaos at a Waffle House on Sandy Plains Road last week, and now all three suspects involved in the early-morning brawl have been arrested, according to Cobb County jail records. Sammy Dodd, 17, of Ball Ground, and Daniel Riley, 18, of Calhoun, are accused of climbing the counter, kicking plates, and assaulting a staff member—leaving him bruised and cut, with pain in his chest and back. Oh, and they allegedly broke 24 plates in the process. Blake Talley-Stewart, 17, of Roswell, reportedly threw a plate of food and a drink into the fray. All three face misdemeanor charges, with bonds ranging from $1,870 to $5,720. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info.  We’ll be right back. Break: INGLES 1 STORY 4: UPDATE: Cobb teachers on administrative leave for 'unacceptable comments' on Kirk shooting The Cobb County School District is investigating “unacceptable” social media posts by educators about the shooting death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Some posts, according to the district, appeared to celebrate his death—a claim that’s sparked outrage. Nan Kiel, the district’s spokesperson, confirmed that employees involved have been placed on administrative leave. “They won’t be in classrooms or interacting with students,” she said, adding that the district will report the matter to Georgia’s ethics board for educators. Jeff Hubbard, president of the Cobb County Association of Educators, urged teachers to pause before posting online. Other Georgia employers, like Delta and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, have also fired or suspended workers over similar comments. STORY 5: Georgia Bureau of Investigation promotes Mableton resident The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has promoted Mableton resident Kimberly Jewett to lead the Trace Evidence Section of its Crime Lab—a big step for someone who’s been with the GBI since 2009. Jewett, who started as a trace evidence scientist, has worked on everything from hair analysis to gunshot residue. Now, she’ll oversee the section’s staff and operations. A University of West Georgia grad (biology, cum laude), Jewett is also an instructor for the GBI Resiliency Program. Her leadership? It’s already making waves. Break: STORY 6: Former Republican, Duncan, running for governor as Democrat  In a twist no one saw coming, former Republican Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan is running for Georgia governor—as a Democrat. His campaign? All about financial stability and dialing down the political chaos. In a YouTube video posted Monday, Duncan didn’t hold back, calling out Donald Trump as an extremist and wearing Trump’s criticism like “a badge of honor.” Duncan’s been on Trump’s bad side since rejecting his 2020 election claims and writing GOP 2.0, a book urging Republicans to move past Trumpism. Now, he’s taking on big issues: child care costs, families struggling to afford medicine, and, of course, political moderation. Duncan joins a crowded Democratic primary with Jason Esteves, Keisha Lance Bottoms, and Michael Thurmond. Meanwhile, the GOP race is heating up between Trump-endorsed Lt. Gov. Burt Jones and Attorney General Chris Carr. STORY 7: UPDATE: 16-year-old charged in Mableton killing  A 16-year-old has been arrested for allegedly killing 17-year-old David Daniel at a Mableton home Saturday evening, Cobb Police said. Officers were called to a house on Milam Creek Road around 5:41 p.m. for a medical emergency. They found David on the front porch, suffering from a stab wound to his left torso. He was rushed to the hospital but didn’t make it. The suspect, whose name hasn’t been released, was arrested without much incident and charged with felony murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a knife during a crime. Mableton Mayor Michael Owens called the loss “heartbreaking,” urging the community to support David’s family and Pebblebrook High School, where he was a student. The investigation is ongoing, and police are asking anyone with information to come forward. We’ll have closing comments after this.

Send us a textOn this week's episode, we discuss  an album that came out in 2024, the fifth album by the Lemon Twigs, A Dream is All We Know. Consisting of multi-instrumentalist brothers Brian and Michael D'Addario, the music of the Lemon Twigs often feels like it's been plucked straight from the 1960s or 1970s. Echos of the Beatles, the Kinks and the Beach Boys are obvious, in fact they brothers call the sound of this LP "Mersey Beach." However, the Brothers  D'Addario make it all sound fresh and relevant.  Coming just a year off of their critically heralded LP Harmony Everything, the wonderfully constructed songs on A Dream Is All We Know feels like as the culmination of everything the Lemon Twigs recorded before it. A shimmering pop gem full of multi-layered ear worms, quirky song structures, and beautifully lush harmonies. There is a breadth and depth here not found on many modern rock albums that rewards the listener with each repeated listen. Visit us at www.tappingvinyl.com.

In a world drowning in information, where every click and scroll can lead us further down a rabbit hole of misinformation, what is our cultural and intellectual lifeline?This week on Mission Forward, Carrie Fox swims the turbulent waters of local news with Michael D. Bolden. He serves as the Executive Director & Chief Executive Officer at the American Press Institute, and he's not here to talk about headlines and deadlines. He's here to talk about the very oxygen of democracy – the free flow of information and how we've let ours become polluted.Bolden shares his deeply personal journey, from a childhood steeped in the wisdom of diverse media sources to his current mission of rescuing local journalism from the clutches of apathy and distrust. But this isn't just another lament for the dying days of print. This is a call to arms. Bolden throws down a gauntlet, challenging the very notion of "audience." He speaks of forging genuine connections, of weaving newsrooms into the very fabric of the communities they serve. He paints a picture of journalists not as detached observers but as engaged citizens, listening intently to the whispers and shouts of the people they represent. It's a radical shift, reimagining the relationship between the informed and the informers.The American Press Institute, under Bolden's leadership, isn't just patching up the cracks in the foundation of local news; they're rebuilding it from the ground up. He reveals their secret weapon: a laser-focused mission to create news organizations that are not just surviving but thriving. He speaks of resilience, of adaptability, of the courage to pivot in the face of relentless change. Along the way, he hints at exciting new initiatives, veiled in a touch of journalistic mystery, promising a future where local news is not just relevant but essential.As the looming shadow of a pivotal election descends, Bolden offers a glimmer of hope. He sees newsrooms embracing flexibility, thinking beyond the immediate frenzy, and laying the groundwork for a future where trust is not a luxury but the bedrock of our democracy. He reminds us that the work doesn't end on election night; it's a continuous conversation, a constant striving to build bridges and illuminate the path forward. This episode is a stark reminder: we cannot afford to be passive consumers of information. The future of our communities—and our democracy itself—depends on it.We are grateful to Michael and the American Press Institute for their generosity in making this conversation possible.
