Podcasts about muhammed ali

Cassius Clay sagte von sich selbst immer wieder, er sei der Grösste. Während das in seiner Anfangszeit als Boxer noch eher belächelt wurde, ist es heute praktisch unbestritten. Cassius Clay, später bekannt als Muhammed Ali, erkämpfte sich am 25. Februar 1964 seinen ersten Weltmeistertitel.

Valdosta State University history professor (and Episodes 334 and 244 guest) Tom Aiello is back — this time for an intriguing look at one of the most politically and culturally charged nights in American sports history: Muhammad Ali's comeback fight against Jerry Quarry on October 26, 1970, in Atlanta. After nearly three and a half years in professional exile, Ali returned to the ring having lost far more than his world heavyweight title. His refusal to be drafted into the Vietnam War had stripped him of his license to box, cost him his prime athletic years, and turned him into one of the most polarizing figures in the country. By 1970, however, the nation had changed. Public opinion about the war had shifted, Ali's moral stance looked increasingly prescient, and the question was no longer if he would return — but where and on whose terms. Atlanta provided the answer. The fight was as much a civic and cultural event as a sporting one, staged before an audience that reflected the city's rising Black political, economic, and social leadership. Civil rights figures, elected officials, entertainers, and power brokers filled the arena, transforming the evening into a declaration of legitimacy and self-determination. Ali's presence — confident, defiant, unapologetic — symbolized a broader shift in who held cultural authority in America. Quarry, a skilled and respected heavyweight contender, became the necessary counterpart in Ali's rebirth. The fight itself ended swiftly, with Ali winning by third-round stoppage, but its significance far outlasted the final bell. Drawing from his new book "Return of the King: The Rebirth of Muhammad Ali and the Rise of Atlanta"Ali," Aiello helps us understand how this night fused boxing, politics, and spectacle — how Atlanta became the stage for Ali's return, and how the event marked a turning point not just in his career, but in the public embrace of a new, unapologetic vision of Black power and identity. ALSO: A computer pits Ali vs. Rocky Marciano in "The Super Fight"; the curious ringside inspiration for "Uptown Saturday Night"; and the notorious tale of Gordon 'Chicken Man' Williams, as fictionalized in 2024's "Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist".

Chuck Todd sounds the alarm on how Trump’s aggressive use of tariffs and economic coercion could unintentionally push the U.S. and the world toward open conflict, drawing stark parallels to the Smoot-Hawley tariffs and the dangerous bloc-based thinking that preceded World War II. As Trump threatens NATO unity, wages economic war with Europe, and even uses tariffs as leverage in a pressure campaign over Greenland, the result isn’t strength but instability—risking retaliation, potentially weakening the dollar’s reserve status, and handing strategic advantages to China and Russia. Chuck argues that while Trump may not be trying to start a war, his isolationist instincts, economic bullying, and disregard for democratic norms are dismantling the postwar order America built and benefited from, creating a far more dangerous world. The episode also turns inward, examining Trump’s endorsement politics and fixation on retribution, even at the cost of GOP viability, as Senate Republicans quietly weigh whether stopping this madness—or walking away—is their last remaining option. Mechele Dickerson, professor at the University of Texas School of Law & author of the new book “The Middle Class New Deal” joins Chuck Todd to make the case that rebuilding the American middle class requires something bold and familiar. Drawing on history, Dickerson explains how the original New Deal didn’t just regulate markets but actively created the first stable American middle class, a reminder that free markets alone don’t guarantee broad prosperity. As today’s economy shifts risk onto workers through independent contracting, weakened unions, and employer-based benefits that no longer fit modern labor markets, she argues that financial security—not wealth—is what most Americans are actually chasing, and it’s essential for economic and democratic stability. The conversation digs into healthcare, education, and labor power as the pillars of a functioning middle class, from why employer-based health insurance is a historical accident to how government-guaranteed healthcare could actually relieve businesses, and why underused public schools and outdated calendars are weakening the future workforce. Dickerson warns that the erosion of unions, the weaponization of cultural divisions, and rising economic nihilism—especially among younger Americans—mirror dangerous Gilded Age dynamics, where extreme inequality hollowed out democracy. The takeaway is stark but hopeful: upward mobility is deeply American, but without intentional policy choices that put workers and families first, an eroding middle class can become fertile ground for political instability and authoritarianism. Finally, Chuck hops into the ToddCast Time Machine to revisit the evolving public perception of Muhammed Ali, answers listeners’ questions in the Ask Chuck segment and preview the college football national championship between Indiana and his beloved Miami Hurricanes.

 What is humbleness?Ask this yourself? My brother said humbleness is a decoration but you advance much more without!Yes, he is correct but never could understand life! When you heard the Boxing Champion Muhammed Ali shouting that he is the greatest…And later he died with dementia and his body was trembling… What for a disgrace…If you compare the life from Muhammed Ali with the German Boxing Champion Max Schmeling … Max Schmeling agenda was: Never to brag.To be honest and loyal to every price.To sacrifice his money for the needy. And even to risk his life for Jews that he helped…He died well respected with 99 and even was rich…  Braggers don't make it.  For every I you have to suffer. (Sufi Proverb) If we say, for instance, “I am the greatest” then we get punished for that… Try it out: Brag and watch what happens afterward. I was growing up under terrible conditions, my family treated me like sh*t.When I was studying, I had to visit my family, and that was awful… Even I helped all the time, but my deficit is that I am honest and tell what I think… We had a servant who was cleaning and also cooking sometimes ..She was a simple woman who had lost her husband in the war and… My mother treated her so badly and disrespectful, she still stuck to her work and never complained…When I came home every 3 months she was so cheerful and happy when she saw me…I even didn't respect that, because I was rather more fixated on my sorrow that I experienced with my family…I knew her my entire childhood until I separated from my family…Yes, she was humble… She saw the beauty that other people don't see with an open heart… And so she enjoyed her life, after so much hardships…Other example We had in the neighborhood an old peasant woman. She owned a small farm, her husband died already and her kids moved out of her farm…She invited a young couple with a kid to join her for a small rent… She was all the time busy to help. We as kids were every day at her home and playing…As a simple old woman she could be together with young people and kids instead of living isolated… And she was also rich, but she never told that… Humbleness was on her agenda… Guess, she could enjoy her life and was healthy until she died when she was sleeping…Humbleness makes you enjoy your life… My Video: Humbleness https://youtu.be/mPScWGsAmewMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast1/Humbleness.mp3

This week, a special road trip episode featuring up and coming Irish finger style guitar Jedi Shane Hennessy recorded live at the 2024 Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, Kansas. Also, a performance from each of the top three 2024 Walnut Valley International finger style guitar champions, Hiroya Tsukamoto, Mikey Bilello, and Stephen Bennett. The annual Walnut Valley Festival, now in it's 53rd season, is one of the oldest and most respected acoustic music festivals in the world. Held at the Winfield, Kansas fairgrounds, more than 30 musical acts will perform on four separate stages, presenting over 200 hours of live music. Also, there is a dedicated contest stage where contestants vie for national and international championships in Finger Style Guitar, Flat Pick Guitar, Bluegrass Banjo, Old Time Fiddle, Mandolin, Mountain Dulcimer, Hammered Dulcimer, and Autoharp. There is a juried arts and crafts fair, exhibits by renowned instrument makers and music shops, family activities, a bevy of food vendors, a farmer's market and even a pub! An unusual aspect of Walnut Valley is its campground tradition. Campsites are not reserved and campers line up to claim a choice campsite during the "Land Rush.” Walnut Valley Festival goers often bring their own musical instruments to participate in the sometimes all night campground jam sessions. Bands like Old Sound and Sally & The Hurts that began as "Jam Bands" in the campgrounds, have even been invited to perform at the festival. Shane Hennessy is a virtuoso fingerstyle guitarist, singer/songwriter, and composer. With an upbringing in the world of Irish traditional music, Shane has been captivating audiences globally for the past few years, with sell-out solo tours in Europe and North America under his belt, as well as regular appearances at major international music festivals including MerleFest, Walnut Valley Bluegrass Festival, Sound of Europe Festival (Düsseldorf, Germany), and Milwaukee Irish Fest. He has released four albums of original music, and his most recent studio album ‘Rain Dance' was hailed as “a triumphant reaffirmation of his virtuosity and compositional excellence” by Irish Music Magazine. Shane has collaborated with Tommy Emmanuel, worked with Grammy-winner Bill Whelan (composer of Riverdance), and made his début on the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee in March 2023. A musician from a young age, Shane credits his background in Irish traditional music as the base on which he has built his genre-defying musical explorations. Initially a concertina player, he achieved successes in competitions in Ireland. He then turned to the guitar aged twelve inspired by the music of James Taylor. Becoming more interested in songwriting and in music in general, it was when he discovered the styles of Tommy Emmanuel and Chet Atkins that his interest in solo performance blossomed. Described by legendary guitarist and mentor Tommy Emmanuel as “a brilliant entertainer and an amazing musician who transcends the guitar the same way Muhammed Ali transcended boxing”, Shane has since developed an unmistakably unique voice as a fingerstyle guitarist, blending his native Irish music with elements of jazz, country, blues, funk, classical, soul, world, and hip-hop. With the addition of some smooth vocals and improvisations, it makes sense why music legend super-producer Nile Rodgers (CHIC) remarked that “[Shane's] style is killer, it's really cool stuff.” https://www.shanehennessy.ie/bio In this week's “From the Vault” segment, OHR producer Jeff Glover offers a 2015 archival recording of Ozark original guitarists Danny Dozier and Randy Buckner performing the 1924 Isham Jones song “I'll See You in My Dreams,” from the Ozark Folk Center State Park archives. In his segment “Back in the Hills,” writer, professor and historian Dr. Brooks Blevins concludes his three part series on the surprisingly violent history of tornadoes in the Ozarks.

A Glimpse Into The Life Of Ibn Taymiyyah - Ml Muhammed Ali Desai by Radio Islam

Pulitzer Prize winning biographer Jonathan Eig puts back the flesh on Two Black Lives that Really, Really Mattered. https://youtu.be/YSkMJBgptCU

He was Martin Luther King, Muhammed Ali, Harry Bellafonte, and Malcolm X rolled into one. Paul Robeson was an extraordinary American singer, actor, and civil rights activist. The son of a slave, Robeson was Born in Princeton, New Jersey, and excelled academically. He became a star athlete earning a scholarship to Rutgers University, and a law degree from Columbia University. Robeson became a global sensation, using his recordings, films, and live performances, to fight racism in America and around the world. However, the more popular Robeson became, the more the U.S. government tried to silence him, with harassment, surveillance, congressional investigations, and finally confiscating his passport so he couldn't travel. But in 1957, Robeson used new technology to appear at a rally and concert supporting union coal miners in the U.K., without leaving New York City. We'll learn how Paul Robeson did it, from the BBC World Service program "Witness History", followed by this amazing rally in its entirety.More at http://krobcollection.com

Ruth Buzzi has been on our episode schedule for a few weeks now, so we were both shocked and saddened to see the news of her passing -- but pleased that the response from the public was filled with so much admiration and affection. Best known for her stint on Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In -- she was the only cast member to appear in every episode, Ruth's credits are much more extensive and diverse including appearing on Broadway, being a favorite on early variety shows (Gary Moore Show, Steve Allen Comedy Hour), and after Laugh-In, keeping a full slate of sitcom, variety show, and movie appearances. She even was a semi-regular on Sesame Street! Much beloved, Ruth is a reminder of when we all bonded over television -- all three or four channels of it -- and hit characters like Gladys Ormphby could take the nation by storm overnight. As always find extra clips below and thanks for sharing our shows. And Ruth, thanks for the laughs and say hi to Dick and Dan for us. Want more Ruth? Here is Ruth in full on Gladys Ormphby having a daydream about romancing John Wayne. Yes, the handbag is deployed. https://youtu.be/srA-w9W5yeM?si=kB0lce_Dd8a6qJcP You can't think of Laugh In without thinking of Ruth, and here is a nice cut of some of her best bits. Bonus! It also feature some of the best of a fellow legend JoAnne Worley!https://youtu.be/fTdmORyVVg0?si=XNrlmMUJ_D2xoYL1 After Laugh In, Ruth was a regular on tv variety shows and specials such as the Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts. Here Ruth -- as Gladys Ormphby -- gives the business to Muhammed Ali. https://youtu.be/zC0If3uP85o?si=xT5MvuHHFm8To94J

The United States has more martial arts schools than any other country – by far. Chances are you or someone you know practiced karate or another martial art growing up. While martial arts gained popularity in the U.S. for many reasons, one name stands out: Jhoon Rhee. Known as the Father of American Taekwondo, Rhee famously taught Bruce Lee how to kick and Muhammed Ali how to punch. His bare-knuckled American dream made an impact on generations of Americans.Guests: Terence Nicholson, a D.C.-based artist.

George Foreman gave us a masterclass in resilience, on never giving up. His pivots and comebacks from defeat were legendary. He was a force of nature and one of the greatest boxers, salesmen and personalities the world has ever known. His inspirational story matters to us because one of the most critical mental disciplines for sales professionals is resilience.  Foreman's "In the Mud" Moment The George Foreman most of us remember, the man with the big charismatic smile selling grills on TV, was a far cry from the young man growing up in poverty in Houston's Fifth Ward, where lunch was often a mayonnaise sandwich.  As a teenager, George was an angry, mean bully who stole from kids at school and was shoplifting and mugging his way through his neighborhood. He was living on the edge, one arrest away from landing in a jail cell and potentially a life behind bars. One night, he was lying flat on his face in stinking mud, hiding from the police, when it hit him like a left hook that he was going nowhere like this. It was a moment of truth that changed the trajectory of his life. Lying there covered in filth, he made a promise to himself to change his path. He realized that if he wanted to avoid going nowhere, he had to make a massive mindset shift.  He enrolled in the Job Corps—a federal program that helps disadvantaged youth pick up real life skills—and soon after discovered boxing. And from that moment on, he replaced petty crime with gloves, replaced street fights with disciplined training, replaced despair with a sense of purpose.  This type of mindset shift is exactly what resilience is about. Sometimes you've got to face the fact that your old excuses, old habits, or old environment aren't working for you anymore. And when you decide to do something different—really decide—you set the stage for everything else that follows. That stinking mud moment is where you get real about your situation. It's where you decide that you've had enough and realize that the change you are looking for can only be found inside yourself because that's where resilience comes from.  Developing Resilience in the Face of Devastating Defeat Once George got serious about boxing, he rocketed to stardom. He won gold in the 1968 Olympics, then tore through the heavyweight division.  In one of his most famous fights, he defeated Joe Frazier in just two rounds, creating the iconic moment when Howard Cosell screams, “Down goes Frazier, down goes Frazier, down goes Frazier!” Foreman emerged from that fight as a heavyweight wrecking ball, the unstoppable champion of the world. Then, he ran into a wall called Muhammad Ali. Millions of people tuned in to watch Foreman and Ali battle it out in what was hyped as the “Rumble in the Jungle.”  Going into the fight, Foreman was the overwhelming favorite. But it was his overconfidence that lulled him into Ali's famous rope-a-dope strategy. This led to a crushing and embarrassing defeat. Ali knocked Foreman out in the eighth round, shocking the world and pulling off the upset of the century. Foreman was humiliated on the global stage. In that moment, he went from being the hardest hitting, baddest man on the planet to an also-ran.  Sales and life can be the same way. You might have soared for months, hitting every goal. Then the bottom falls out. The real test isn't whether you can ride success, but whether you can respond to defeat with resilience. The real question is, will you pick yourself up and make a comeback or fold up like a cheap lawn chair and quit. Will your failure become a tattoo or temporary bruise?  Retreat and Reinvention — The Next Pivot After that loss to Ali, Foreman was devastated. But he continued fighting until at the age of 28, he had a near death experience in Puerto Rico following a loss to Jimmy Young. It was one more lapse into overconfidence in which Foreman failed to prepare for the fight and was taken down by yet another underdog.  Following the fight, Foreman collapsed in the locker room suffering from exhaustion and heatstroke. There, in that pivotal moment, after being revived, he became a born-again Christian, and retired from the sport to lead a life as an ordained minister.  But sometimes that's what you need—a chance to heal, refocus, and reconnect with what matters. Resilience doesn't mean plowing ahead blindly. Sometimes it means taking a step away so you can come back stronger. And that's exactly what George Foreman did. Resilience and Comebacks  Twenty years after losing to Muhammed Ali, Foreman faced a new challenge. His church was struggling to pay its bills and needed money to build a youth center.  Broke and needing money, at 38 years old, he announced what would become one of the most stunning comebacks in sports history. He was returning to the ring At his age, he was ancient by boxing standards. People scoffed. Critics laughed, fans were skeptical, but George believed he had another act in him. Success didn't come right away. He fought 30 comeback fights and lost titles to Evander Holyfield and Tommy Morrison. But in 1994, Michael Moorer accepted a heavyweight championship bout with Foreman, seeing him as a washed up old man he could easily knockout.  Ten rounds into the fight, Foreman—who was wearing the same boxing trunks he had worn when losing to Muhammad Ali 20 years earlier—landed a devastating blow to Moorer knocking him out to reclaim the heavyweight crown.  Then George sank to his knees in the corner and prayed. He was 46 years old.  It was an incredible full-circle moment of triumph and redemption that instantly made him a hero to people everywhere. The “washed-up” old man proved to millions that age is just a number.  With hard work, faith, and unwavering perseverance, almost anything is possible. You're never “too old” or “too washed up.” You can adapt, learn new tools, and surprise the doubters. Young George Foreman relied on aggressiveness and raw power but overconfidence was his kryptonite. The older, wiser George Foreman flipped the script on his younger, overconfident opponents and fought smarter, pacing himself, patiently waiting for the right moment to land the knockout punch.   Foreman's Third Act George Foreman's three-decade boxing career ended with an incredible record of 76 wins, 5 losses and 68 KOs. But what is most remarkable is that's not where the story ends. After regaining the heavyweight title at age 46, suddenly, Foreman wasn't just the champ—he was a beloved celebrity. He then leveraged this newfound love and trust along his trademark smile into something that transcended boxing entirely: the George Foreman grill.  A whole generation—many who never saw him throw a single punch—came to know him only for that grill. He was on TV constantly—becoming one of the world's most recognizable people. He even had a television sit-com.  Over 100 million George Foreman Grills have sold worldwide, and it still outsells its competitors today. Foreman personally walked away with over $200 million from the endorsement deal (more than Tiger Woods earned from his deal with Nike).  Get Out of the Mud George Foreman was a onetime street kid growing up in poverty who hid in muddy filth to escape the police, a man who suffered humiliating defeats on the world stage, who came back at age 46 to reclaim the heavyweight title, and then became a household icon for healthier cooking and a beloved American hero.  George Foreman's amazing life is a testament to the unstoppable force of resilience. If you're lying in your own stinking mud, this could be your moment of truth. You might be one big pivot away from your own comeback story. But only you can make the choice to stay facedown in the mud or get up, clean up and jump back into the fight. Always remember that when it's time to go home, make one more call. That's how you stay in the fight and that's how champions are made. Raise your game, unleash your potential, make the pivot to your next big thing with our FREE Goal Planning Guide

Sarah's a happy bunny, and it's a long time coming. We discuss the Mike Tyson v. Jake Paul fight, whether it was fixed, and why the slap should've tipped us off. Susie explains how his lisp, his love of pigeons, and the death of his daughter made people see him differently. We hear how the Muhammad Ali documentary showed how learning to withstand suffering can be the sign of a champion. We hear about the Stanford Prison Experiment documentary showed how this famous psychology research was flawed, unethical, and doesn't demonstrate the findings the researcher claimed. We learn how the design of Navy speedboats and the technology that allows them to go fast are causing the crews to get CTE, suffer addiction, and making suicide far more likely. We hear about a couple who broke up, but ended up back together after one of them got a concussion and forgot they broke up. And Susie wants to talk about how hot Elvis was during his comeback special and how the entertainment industry and his handlers made him feel powerless after his initial fame.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comJoin our Candy Club, shop our merch, sign-up for our free newsletter, & more by visiting The Brain Candy Podcast website: https://www.thebraincandypodcast.comConnect with us on social media:BCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastSusie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterSarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBCP on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSponsors:To get 15% off your next gift, go to https://www.uncommongoods.com/candyVisit https://cozyearth.com/braincandy and use my exclusive 40% off code BRAINCANDY to give the gift of luxury this holiday season.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week, we catch up with Rubin, as a convicted murderer. The original witnesses are now recanting their stories of seeing Rubin at the murder scene. Meanwhile, Bob Dylan has written a popular song about him, and Muhammed Ali has taken up his cause. This leads to the charges being set aside, and a retrial. Problem is, while out on bail, he's also accused of beating a woman half to death! Will he stay out of prison??Have Bob Dylan write a song, turning you into a folk hero, get out of jail, due to a large force of celebrities on your side, and be retried for the same murders, hoping for a different result with "Hurricane" Rubin Carter - Part 3!!Check us out, every Tuesday!We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!!

LeBron James being selected as flag-bearer for Team USA at the Paris Olympics was problematic from the start. Beyond James' history of kneeling during the national anthem in support of George Floyd and other career criminals who lost their lives resisting arrest, it was inevitably going to lead to someone comparing James to Muhammad Ali. Cue Dan Le Batard. Jason sparks a fire-starter about his former sports media colleague for calling James “today's Muhammed Ali.” T.J. Moe and Steve Kim join “Fearless” to fan the flames. Making LeBron the face of the U.S. Olympic contingent isn't the only controversy surrounding the games. Steve Kerr is taking heat for leaving Celtics star Jayson Tatum on the bench during the team's blowout win, and Grant Hill is defending the decision to leave Jaylen Brown off the country's basketball team. Plus, Kevin Durant claps back at Keyshawn Johnson's contention that Paul Pierce could have replaced KD on the Warriors' championship team. Content producer “Mr. Reagan” Chris Kohls joins the show to defend his Kamala Harris parody video after California Governor Gavin Newsom calls for legislation to ban free speech.
