Podcasts about Patch Adams

This episode dives into how we speak to ourselves, especially when negative self-talk arises, and how humor can be a powerful tool to shift our mindset, build compassion, and reconnect with others. Our guest, Brian Lee (aka Bullseye the Clown), shares how his life transformed from one marked by bullying and trauma to a purpose-driven mission of spreading joy through clowning.Brian begins each day with the question, “How can I bless someone today?”—a mindset practice that keeps him centered in a chaotic world. He shares how clowning helped him move from invisibility and pain to connection and healing, using humor to reframe internal narratives and uplift those who, like he once did, feel overlooked.His journey began after the death of his father, when he joined a clowning tour in Russia led by Patch Adams. Despite doubts, he discovered the power of presence and levity to transcend language and offer emotional connection, like when a simple wave to an elderly woman brought her to tears. That experience sparked a calling.Upon returning home, he launched Clown Fitness, engaging seniors through movement and play, and later founded Clowns on a Mission—a global initiative that provides supplies, meals, and human connection in underserved communities. His work centers on one theme: bringing joy and attention to the unseen.Brian is also the author of Bullseye on Bullying and the upcoming Be the Someone: Take Action in a World That Waits, encouraging everyday leadership and kindness.Ultimately, this episode is a testament to how laughter, presence, and service can gently disrupt negative thought patterns, not by avoiding pain, but by adding light to it.Bullseye's Take-Aways:Healing through Joy: A trip focused on clowning and spreading happiness helped Bullseye release years of emotional pain and trauma. Power of Presence: Clowning demands total emotional presence, making it an effective tool for personal healing and connection with others. Stigma vs. Reality: Despite the negative media portrayal of clowns, Bullseye has rarely faced hostility, demonstrating that authenticity can overcome stereotypes.Leadership Mindset: His philosophy—“Be the Someone”—encourages personal responsibility and grassroots action when facing social problems.Bullseye's Books: Bullseye on Bullying: A practical guide offering strategies for individuals dealing with bullying or domestic issues.​ https://www.amazon.com/Bullseye-Bullying-Blueprint-Beating-Bullies/dp/B09M4R7DRR​Be the Someone: Take Action in a World That Waits (Coming Soon): Encourages readers to step into leadership roles and take action when needed, rather than waiting for others to act.

Crystal now claims everyone is a targeted individual, and the agents of gang stalking are more algorithms than government agencies. She also claims Patch Adams “copied her” and that she's bringing monocles back as a fashion trend. “I making the monocle sexy again ya'll”- CC

Have you ever heard of the healing power of laughter? Mike White March wraps with the scene of the cinematic crime with Patch Adams (1998), a film that weaponizes red noses and sentimentality in equal measure. Chris Stachiw and Mike White welcome guest co-host Mark Begley to dissect this "based-on-a-true-story" heartwarmer, in which Robin Williams plays a medical student who believes laughter is the best medicine—even if it means violating every hospital policy in the book. From groan-worthy gags to emotional manipulation set to a soaring score, the trio digs into what works, what absolutely doesn't, and why this film somehow became a cultural touchstone. Bring tissues… and maybe some antacid.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kulturecast--2883470/support.

In this deeply moving episode, Uri Schneider reunites with former client Naomi Zauderer, now a clinical social worker in Tel Aviv. Naomi shares her journey from being a confident, outgoing child to experiencing the "rock bottom" of her stuttering in middle school, and ultimately transforming into a therapist who helps others process and heal. Naomi reveals how drawing cartoons externalized her overwhelming experiences, making them tangible and even humorous. She recalls the pivotal moment of her bat mitzvah speech and how finding her father's supportive gaze gave her the courage to continue despite her stutter. Their conversation highlights the powerful "Daddy Naomi Radio" ritual that created a special bonding space between father and daughter. The turning point came in ninth grade when Naomi discovered that by shifting focus away from stuttering and celebrating moments of fluency, she experienced dramatic improvement. This revelation about the power of perspective became the foundation for her professional path in therapy. This episode offers profound insights for anyone facing challenges: look beyond the problem to see solutions, recognize that you are more than your struggles, and understand that adversity can unlock special knowledge that becomes your greatest asset. For parents and educators, Naomi emphasizes the importance of focusing on what children say rather than how they say it, and protecting the innate self-confidence children are born with A must-listen for anyone interested in personal transformation, the psychology of communication, and the journey from getting help to giving help.   TIMESTAMPS 00:00:00 - Introduction of Naomi Zauderer and her current role 00:01:54 - Naomi describes her "rock bottom" with stuttering in middle school 00:03:23 - Naomi's personality as a young child before stuttering became an issue 00:05:16 - Formative experiences in school and avoidance strategies 00:08:00 - The stuttering iceberg metaphor explained 00:10:00 - How drawing cartoons helped externalize overwhelming experiences 00:15:26 - Naomi's bat mitzvah speech experience and intense anxiety 00:20:00 - Finding Uri in the audience and gaining courage to continue 00:23:13 - The "Daddy Naomi Radio" show as a bonding experience 00:27:12 - The turning point in ninth grade with social and academic pressures 00:28:05 - Stuttering as a scapegoat for other challenges 00:30:08 - How focusing less on stuttering led to more fluency 00:40:11 - The pizza analogy: reducing the proportion of stuttering in identity 00:42:00 - Patch Adams story: looking beyond the problem to see solutions 00:47:48 - The "secret knowledge" gained through adversity 00:50:21 - Naomi's journey to becoming a therapist 00:51:53 - Addressing underlying shame and beliefs beyond fluency 00:54:34 - What Naomi would tell her younger self: "You're so much more than your stuttering" 00:55:57 - Advice for parents, teachers, and employers: focus on content, not delivery 00:57:10 - Closing reflections on protecting children's innate self-confidence   ABOUT THE HOST Uri Schneider, M.A. CCC -SLP is co-founder and leader at Schneider Speech; creator and host of Transcending Stuttering; and faculty at the University of California, Riverside School of Medicine.   SEE ALL SHOW NOTES http://www.transcendingx.com/podcast   LEARN MORE Visit http://www.transcendingx.com or http://www.schneiderspeech.com

Well, well, well, what have we here? What's melting on the stove this week? And do you love me (now that I can drop and give you fifty)? We answer these questions and more as we reunite over Season 1, Episode 15 of Family Matters. Alex Diamond, David Kenny, and John McDaniel heard that the long-running network sitcom Family Matters ends with side character Steve Urkel going to space. And the best way to figure out how that happened - obviously - is to watch the last episode first and make our way backwards through nearly ten years of television.Join our countdown to number one (and our slow descent into madness) in all the places you expect internet people to be:Website: jumpingtheshuttle.spaceEmail: jumpingtheshuttle@gmail.comInstagram: @JumpingTheShuttle / @ThatAlexD / @dak577Twitter: @JumpingShuttle / @ThatAlexD / @dak577TikTok: @JumpingTheShuttle / @ThatAlexD / @dak577Brought to you by Smooth My Balls

From chemical engineering to leading advocate for veganism and plant-based nutrition, Dr. Faraz Harsini's career transformation is as captivating as a bestselling mystery novel. As the founder and CEO of Allied Scholars for Animal Protection (ASAP), his story illustrates how a shift in perspective can drive significant changes in public health and animal welfare. Early Influences and Career Shift Dr. Harsini's journey into animal protection began with his early involvement in alleviating suffering. Inspired by the work of Patch Adams, he volunteered as a hospital clown, bringing joy to children battling cancer. This experience ignited a desire in him to make a more meaningful impact, prompting a shift from studying chemical engineering to pursuing a PhD in biomedical sciences with a focus on cancer research. Awakening to Plant-Based Living A pivotal moment in Dr. Harsini's life occurred when he began to question the dietary beliefs he had grown up with. Raised in a culture where meat consumption was deemed essential for health, a conversation with a friend challenged his views on animal products. This, coupled with growing awareness of the ethical and environmental consequences of meat consumption, led him to adopt a vegetarian and eventually a vegan lifestyle. Impact of Plant-Based Diet on Health Dr. Harsini's transition to a plant-based diet was more than a personal choice; it marked a professional epiphany. He realized that reducing animal product consumption could have a profound impact on health outcomes, particularly in preventing diseases like cancer. His research revealed that many leading causes of death, including cancer and heart disease, are preventable through lifestyle changes, further solidifying his commitment to advocating for plant-based nutrition as a key strategy for enhancing public health.

Tom Shadyac is one of Hollywood's all-time leading writer/directors with his films, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, The Nutty Professor, Liar, Liar, Patch Adams, Bruce Almighty, and Evan Almighty, grossing nearly 2 billion dollars at the box office. Tom also produced the documentary Happy, and wrote and directed the documentary, I AM, which explores two fundamental questions – What's wrong with our world, and what can we do about it? I AM has won numerous national and international awards and was one of the highest grossing documentaries of 2011. Tom is also a New York Time's best-selling author, with the 2012 publication of his first book, Life's Operating Manual. Of Lebanese descent, Tom comes from a unique and diverse background; he's been an actor, screenwriter, and standup comic, while studying in depth the monastic traditions, ancient philosophy, mystic poetry, myth, and storytelling. What sets Tom apart is his rare ability to blend humor and heart. In 2013, after teaching at Pepperdine for 8 years, Tom became filmmaker in residence at the University of Memphis and taught at LeMoyne-Owen college where his students introduced him to the pulsing promise of the Soulsville neighborhood. Soon after he purchased two bankrupt buildings that became the Memphis Rox Campus, housing the world's largest non-profit climbing gym, as well as numerous multi-faceted programs that serve the local community.

The American healthcare system is broken, but why? According to Robin Williams in PATCH ADAMS (1998), it's because the medical profession has lost touch with the healing power of laughter.

Patch Adams is a 1998 American biographical comedy-drama film directed by Tom Shadyac and starring Robin Williams in the lead role, Monica Potter, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Bob Gunton, Daniel London, and Peter Coyote. Set in the late 1960s/early 1970s, it is loosely based on the life story of Dr. Hunter "Patch" Adams and the book Gesundheit: Good Health Is a Laughing Matter by Dr. Adams and Maureen Mylander. The film received generally unfavorable reviews from critics, with criticism for the sentimentality and direction, but was a box office success and grossed $202.3 million against a $50–90 million budget.WebsitePatreonTwitterFacebookInstagramRetro Latefee Podcast (@retrolatefeepod) • Instagram photos and videosTikTok ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Justin Lifflander came to the USSR in 1987 as a driver-mechanic for the US embassy in Moscow. A year later he moved to Votkinsk, in the foothills of the Ural Mountains, where he inspected missiles at a production plant as part of the Intermediate Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF) between the U.S. and U.S.S.R. He moved back to Moscow in 1990. After 20 years with Hewlett-Packard Russia he worked for the Moscow Times daily newspaper from 2010 to 2014 as business editor. He now has American and Russian citizenship. Justin works for charity organizations, does humanitarian clowning and teaches English via American history and literature at a high school, in Moscow. Justin met Patch Adams when one of Patch's clown missions came to Russia. "Humanitarian clowning has amazing healing powers. It also connects with human beings who are suffering. Bringing joy to them is essential,” says Justin Lifflander. Yes, it's true. Justin wanted to be a spy. He explains it all in his book, “How NOT to become a spy.” justinlifflander.com justinlifflander@gmail.com  

Twenty six clowns went to Costa Rica with Patch Adams. We went there to bring joy to people suffering. We played. We made music. We brought fun in not-so-funny places. This podcast are the clowns sharing what they experienced as they made that special human connection. 

Rob Kearney is a clown. Always has been. And he doesn't need a red nose to dio it. As a kid to an adult he brings joy to people. I met Rob in Costa Rica on a Clown Mission with the real Patch Adams. Watching him connect to another person's soul through play and fun is amazing to watch. In this podcast, he will explain one of those instances. I watched it with my own eyes. It was beutiful.  The picture below will show you the man Rob connected with. For you to  connect with Rob - thekearneygroup@gmail.com Rob Kearney - on facebook.

The clown's mission is to bring chaos and fun to the serious adult world. Sprinkled in that playful is the caring for others who could a good jolt of joy. And that's what e will do. In this podcast I share the meaning of the jokester and the importance of being playful. In the words of my dear friend, Bernie DeKoven, “Fun and laughter are a religious experience. Our lives have become increasingly fragile, our world increasing harsh. It's a miracle we can laugh at all. And that's the whole point.”

Welcome fellow adventurers! This week the guys discuss prayer and how their prayer lives have changed and evolved over the years. The clips are from "Back To The Future," and "Patch Adams." Be sure to check out our other podcasts, Masculine Journey After Hours and Masculine Journey Joyride.  

Welcome fellow adventurers! The discussion on seasons of prayer, continues right here on the Masculine Journey After Hours Podcast. The clips are from "Patch Adams," and "Woodlawn."  There's no advertising or commercials, just men of God, talking and getting to the truth of the matter. The conversation and Journey continues.

In the last 28 years, Patch has created 50 presentations and performed them in 70 countries. He's spoken at 90 medical schools in the US and many more around the world. Over the course of the last two decades he's been on the road for 200-300 days of the year. In 1985, he took a group of people on a clown trip to what was then the Soviet Union. Equipped with colorful clothing and compassion we visited hospitals, orphanages, homes for the elderly as well as just clowning on the street. Since then, these trips have been an integral part of Gesundheit´s global outreach. Apart from returning to Russia every year there have been clown trips to all corners of the world, including visits to war zones, refugee camps and natural disaster sites. We´ve also built clinics and a school at some of the places we´ve visited. I go on six or seven of these trips yearly. They are the sweetest healing work I get to do while I wait for the hospital.

[This blog will always be free to read, but it's also how I pay my bills. So, if you like what you read, please consider a paid subscription. And yes, I do speaking engagements.]I often feel old these days, though I know I'm not. I'm only 36, but don't try telling my body that. My back is often sore. My joints move like caramel popcorn being squeezed. I've reached the point in my life—probably earlier than what's healthy—in which, occasionally, taking a few ibuprofen has become an anticipatory action.But I have noticed—though I don't want to speak for anyone else here—that the most compelling proof I'm getting older is in watching those who built the world of my childhood pass on.There is something about that time, coming-of-age, the latter part of early childhood to adolescence, in which reality is simultaneously being crystallized and suspended, brought into sharper clarity but not-so-threatening. In youth, we experience the peak of a mindset in which the consequences of our actions seem highly plausible but still somehow unlikely. (By the way, this is one of the many reasons I do not wish to be a parent: I have, thus far, failed to fully grasp the careful art of understanding consequence without allowing it to hold me back in necessary moments, and I can't imagine being qualified to teach a child this essential life skill. Hats off to you parents who are capably doing so.)As a child, I understood death and appropriately feared it to a degree. I understood that I could die. Of course I could die. I was a little s**t effortlessly rendered helpless and swelling by a random bee sting. My mortality was not up for debate in my own mind.My failure as a child was understanding the mortality of others and the ensuing paradox that arose from that (again, in my own mind). Yes, I could die, but these adults in my life were much stronger and somehow less likely to die. When I was nine years old—and I think this is true for the vast majority of people—even the thought of making it to thirty felt on par with traveling to the Moon. Plausible, I guess, but justifiably too far away to put much thought into it.Because that perception of time is so cavernous, it felt like the reasonably healthy adults in my life might live forever. They would not, and I knew this, of course. But for a small part of me, it felt that way, and so long as they were perceived to be in relatively good health, there was no reason to adjust that perception. They had already traveled to the Moon. Who was I, with more fingers than years, to say they ever needed to stop traveling?I remember exactly where I was when Robin Williams died. I was sitting at a seafood restaurant's outdoor section in Bar Harbor, Maine. I was on a vacation with my ex-girlfriend. It had been a pleasant trip, full of fun and adventure. She had left to use the restroom, and I sat there at the table, briefly alone, basking in the comfort of our gorgeous surroundings.My phone buzzed, I picked it up, and the notification ruthlessly glared back at me. I don't remember if it was CNN or NYT or whatever, but my brain, refusing to accept it, quickly decided a sick joke was being played. A particularly successful hoax had been perpetrated. There was absolutely no way Robin Williams was dead. Impossible.I searched around and read what you might read in a few minutes from reputable sources, too many outlets with too many details for it to be wrong. I don't remember when she came back to the table, but at some point, she was again seated across from me and asking if I was okay. I recall looking up at her, not sure how to say it, and realized that most of these other folks seated around us probably hadn't heard the news yet, either. And I really, truly envied them.Robin Williams' death was the first time my brain seemingly wouldn't accept new information. It was the strangest damn thing. For six or seven months, I would occasionally forget he died and then be reminded and feel a bit shocked all over again, embarrassed by my unintentional childishness. If you grew up in the ‘90s, Robin Williams was Genie and Jack and Peter Pan and Prof. Brainard and Patch Adams and, hell, for those of us staying up way later than we should have been, we knew him as Mork on Nick-at-Nite, too.He was the Ultimate Fun Uncle to millennials, and yes, we knew he was mortal, but that was still no excuse to defy our childish expectations that he live forever. Someone as special as Robin Williams isn't supposed to die—not just early but at all—even though we know that's completely irrational. When Sinead O'Connor and Paul Reuben died within a week of each other, I wrote a small note of condolence for Gen-X on Twitter, believing that most of the folks of that generation were experiencing a bit too many reminders of our collective mortality in such a short span of time. When the celebrities that defined your youth die, it hurts a little more than usual. I don't believe every person of a certain age experiences this the same way, nor do I believe any person outside a particular generation isn't just as hurt by a particular person's death, if not moreso.But I do believe in generational grief, a specific type of pain that comes with notable deaths of those adults we revered in childhood. In fact, reverence isn't even required. Even the reminder of that person's presence in the world when you were a kid is enough to be poked in the side by Death's hand and told: someday, it will be you.I have never been good at grieving. I'm not even sure what “good” looks like. My mother died three years ago, and I would be lying if I said that I've moved past it. I know I haven't, and worst yet, I'm not sure how it would look to do so. In the time since, with the goal of better understanding it all, I have written something like 20,000 words about our relationship, which was quite unhealthy, to put it mildly. Sometimes, I think about publishing an essay on her and quickly throw away the idea. I wonder who needs to read it, and if no one, then aren't I just writing it for myself? And if so, who else needs to read it?I say again, I have never been good at grieving, whatever that's supposed to be.Along with most of my friends, who are around my age, I am entering a period of my life in which death, unexpected and otherwise, is increasingly becoming a far more prominent feature of living. In the past several years, alone, I have lost several friends and even more colleagues.That's life, I know. That's how it works. Grief, I guess, is the active process of feeling what needs to be felt, whatever that may be, with the hopeful goal of getting back to active living.Much easier said than done. In the meantime, I'm trying to be more grateful for the people in my life now who make it worth living, those who hung the Moon in my sky while I've been too worried about missing it.
