In the last 10-20 years, attitudes toward LGBTQ+ people in America have shifted due to more positive visibility and evolving cultural norms. Cynthia takes a look at two moments from 1970s television that revealed glimpses of LGBTQ+ allyship—a talk show moment and a 1974 episode of Police Woman. In 1970, June Lockhart appeared on The Virginia Graham Show and stopped the hostess in her tracks, pushing back on stereotypes and tropes common for the time. And the story of how a 54-year-old clip is available for viewing is its own testament to advocacy. LGBTQ+ scholar and media documentarian Steven Capsuto's book, Alternate Channels, helped Cynthia connect the June Lockhart dot to an episode of Police Woman.  Capsuto's book is an essential work for every media, gender, and social justice scholar. He traces television and even radio's early depiction of mostly gay characters and the absence of lesbians. His book also details the LGBTQ+ community's organization and support from straight allies that fought against distorted and ugly depictions of gay and lesbian characters in television and film for more than 75 years. The overall trend in American society has been toward greater understanding and support for LGBTQ+ people and this is, to a significant degree, the result of advocates and allies pushing for more positive and diverse characterizations in popular culture. Television largely ignored lesbians until the 1970s and even then, the characters were bitter, violent, and unstable. With just a few sentences, June Lockhart, in real life, and Angie Dickinson, as Sgt. Pepper Anderson, showed viewers the power of LGBTQ+ allyship.  STEVEN CAPSUTO Website - http://alternatechannels.net/ Alternate Channels, 20th Anniversary Revised Edition (2020) by Steven Capsuto http://alternatechannels.net/book/ MENTIONS June Lockhart, Virginia Graham, Angie Dickinson, Rev.

Today's podcast features more nostalgia from the sixties. At that time there was a very popular TV sitcom “Leave it to Beaver.” On the show Ken Osmond played Eddie Haskell, Wally Beaver's best friend and, at times, his worst friend. He appeared in many of the 235 episodes. Ken also appeared on the television in “Lassie,” “Ozzie and Harriet,” “Petticoat Junction” and “Happy Days.” He later joined the LAPD, working as a motorcycle officer. In 1980 he was hit by three bullets while in pursuit of a car thief. A bullet proof vest saved his life.

Bluegrass banjo legend Tony Trischka joins us this week to discuss the making of his new album, 'Earl Jam.' He also gives us a mini-masterclass into the world of Earl Scruggs. The story behind 'Earl Jam' is truly remarkable: Upon receiving a USB drive full of never-before-released Earl Scruggs home recordings from the '80s and '90s, Trischka decided to transcribe his favorite moments and solos, note-for-note. His playing of these transcriptions became the foundation for the album, which also features guest spots by Billy Strings, Molly Tuttle, Brittany Haas, Stuart Duncan and others. It's like hearing a completely new Earl Scruggs record in 2024. Just as memorable as the album are some Trischka's stories about Scruggs and his influence. Somehow, King Curtis Ravi Shankar, Petticoat Junction, Steve Martin, and KFC all get mentioned...and a lot more!   https://www.tonytrischka.com/earl-jam A First Timer's Guide to the Fretboard Summit: https://www.fretboardjournal.com/columns/a-first-timers-guide-to-the-fretboard-summit/ Subscribe to the Fretboard Journal print edition and reserve your copy of Fretboard Journal 54:  https://shop.fretboardjournal.com/products/fretboard-journal-annual-subscription This week's show is sponsored by: StewMac: https://stewmac.sjv.io/R5jvRR (Affiliate link) Izotope: https://www.izotope.com (Use the code FRET10 to save 10%) Stringjoy Strings: https://stringjoy.com (Use the code FRETBOARD to save 10% off your first order) Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar: https://mmguitarbar.com Peghead Nation: https://www.pegheadnation.com (Get your first month free or $20 off any annual subscription with the promo code FRETBOARD at checkout).

The pod is happy to welcome for the first time author Daniel Budnik, author of "From Beverly Hills to Hooterville" as we discuss the surrealistic hidden gem that is Green Acres.  We talk about the creation of the Hooterville Trilogy, of which Green Acres is the third part after the creation of The Beverly Hillbillies and Petticoat Junction.  We discuss how the show's root lie in a 1950 radio show and how it was adapted and updated by Jay Sommers.  We go through the premise and cast of characters, from Oliver and Lisa Douglas to Eb, Mr. Haney and Sam Drucker, to the breakout star of the show, Arnold the Pig. And then we go though many of the episodes' plot, just how absurdist they were, es[ecially for 1960s network TV.  Naturally, we go into all the metatext on the show, including the cast interacting with the show's credits.  We close with CBS and the "rural purge" of their schedule, making way for the new era of TV lead by All in the Family. This was a fun episode to discuss, and we hope to have Daniel back on the show in the future for more popular culture chat.

We're happy to welcome Daniel Budnik (@dannyslacks1) to the podcast to discuss an underrated comic great of the 1960s, Green Acres. Daniel wrote “From Beverly Hills to Hooterville,” an episode guide and analysis of the three shows created by Paul Henning in the 1960s: The Beverly Hillbillies, Petticoat Junction and Green Aces. We talk about the show's origin and how Jay Sommers based on the show on “Granby's Green Acres,” a radio show with a similar premise back in the 1950. There's a lot of talk on the show about Sommers and writing partner Chevillat, who scripted almost all of the show's 170 episodes over six seasons. There's lots of talk about the cast, headed by Eddie Albert and Eva Gabor and the various folks that inhabit Hooterville, including handyman Ed (Tom Lester) shifty salesman Mr. Haney (Pat Buttram) and of course, the breakout star of the show at the time, Arnold Ziffel (Arnold the Pig). We discuss the surreal and absurdist comedy found on the show, which probably goes back to the careers of Sommers and Chevillat, who worked with people in vaudeville, film and radio like the Marx Brothers, Burns and Allen and Laurel & Hardy. There's lots of talk about our favorite and/or memorable episodes and bits, including Lisa's cooking, Oliver's empassioned speeches about farming and all the metatext in the show. This was a very fun show to record and discuss such a television classic. We hope to have Daniel back on the show to talk about some of his other areas of research he has done in his books and podcasts, including Supertrain and Time Express, that's the Vincent Price “Fantasy Island on a train” show whose name we couldn't remember.

It's not because we're dressed up in old people's clothes but each morning my wife and I find great joy in watching sitcoms from the 1950's and 60's. Much of that lifestyle seen on the screen is long gone and forgotten. The way John Forsythe dressed on Bachelor Father compared to Seinfeld, The Connors, The Goldberg's and Abbott Elementary. That black and white world that John Forsythe participated with truly had color. Eventually the episodes became fashion shows. Petticoat Junction to The Partridge Family, Brady Bunch and to the rebirth of Bell Air on Peacock. Watching Antenna TV lets me see what moved through my parents and quite possibly how I grew into becoming me. And the subject covered are still dealt with today!!!

Over the years, there have been more comic book series based on TV shows than you'd think. Back in the 60s, if your newsstand was sold out of Batman comics, you could still read My Favorite Martian or Petticoat Junction comics, you lucky kid. This week we're diving into the weird world of television-based comics, using the new book American TV Comic Books as our guide. And yes, we made a dumb game out of it. Kornflake is guessing which TV shows were also comic books (The Flying Nun? Welcome Back, Kotter? Laverne and Shirley?), and her competition is the random flip of a shiny Rhode Island state quarter.

The Bob Cummings Show (also known as Love That Bob) is an American sitcom starring Bob Cummings, which was broadcast from January 2, 1955, to September 15, 1959. The Bob Cummings Show was the first series to debut as a midseason replacement. The program began with a half-season run on NBC, then ran for two full seasons on CBS, and returned to NBC for its final two seasons. The program was later rerun on ABC daytime and then syndicated under the title Love That Bob. A similar (but less successful) follow-up series, The New Bob Cummings Show, was broadcast on CBS during the 1961–62 television season. Overview. The series stars Cummings as dashing Hollywood photographer, Air Force reserve officer, and ladies' man, Bob Collins. The character's interest in aviation and photography mirrored Cummings' own, with his character's name the same as the role he played in the 1945 film You Came Along. The series also stars Rosemary DeCamp as his sister Margaret MacDonald. In some episodes, Cummings also doubled as Bob and Margaret's grandfather, Josh Collins of Joplin, Missouri. The Bob Cummings Show was important in the development of several careers including series creator, producer, and head writer Paul Henning. Henning, who a decade earlier was a major force in the character development and writing of The Burns and Allen television and radio shows, was a co-producer with George Burns of the Cummings show. He later produced such major 1960s hits as The Beverly Hillbillies, Petticoat Junction, and Green Acres. Regulars in the show included Ann B. Davis, who twice won Emmy Awards for playing Bob Collins' assistant Schultzy. Henning apparently remembered cast members Nancy Kulp and Joi Lansing favorably, giving both of them roles several years later on The Beverly Hillbillies, Kulp as Miss Hathaway (secretary to banker Milburn Drysdale — a character similar to Pamela Livingstone, the one she played on Cummings' show) – and Lansing as Gladys Flatt, wife of Lester Flatt. A decade after The Bob Cummings Show left the air, Davis went on to play the housekeeper Alice in The Brady Bunch. In the 1995 film The Brady Bunch Movie, which featured another actress playing Alice, Davis reprised the role of Schultzy for a cameo that suggests the character went on to become a truck driver. Olive Sturgess appeared in 12 episodes as Carol Henning, girlfriend to Bob's nephew, Chuck. Versatile character actress Kathleen Freeman appeared in six episodes as Bertha Krause. Perhaps the biggest career boost was received by young Dwayne Hickman, a student at Loyola University in Los Angeles, who appeared as the nephew and became a favorite with young female viewers. During the last season of The Bob Cummings Show, he was cast as the lead in CBS's The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis. This program represented the height of Cummings' television career. Although he later starred in two other early-'60s series, The New Bob Cummings Show and My Living Doll, and made guest appearances on several other TV series, he never again achieved that level of success on television. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/dwight-allen/message

In this episode of A Brit Talks Vintage Television, Jamie Dyer discusses the recent removal of classic TV content on Amazon Prime Video. Below is a transcript of the podcast. Hello there, and welcome to A Brit talks Vintage TV, with me Jamie Dyer. I don't know about you but I love the advent of streaming. As a fan of vintage television, various paid online platforms have provided a legal way for me to sample various delights from the United States. Some of which I wouldn't have had the opportunity to experience in any other way. Saying that my views on the subject are rapidly turning negative. I am unsure about the American counterpart, but the British version of Amazon Prime has recently been purged of all its golden treasures. What was once a haven for fans of classic television is vast becoming an archival wasteland. While this might sound strong, let me explain. A short while ago, I could watch classic USA favourites, such as Petticoat Junction, The Donna Reed Show and many more on the service. Upon checking the availability of these programs fairly recently, they appear to have been disabled from Prime Video. There are a few shows such as The Dick Van Dyke Show and Family Affair that remain, but they are only a handful of what was there previously. I have theories on why this is the case, but please only take them as what they are: based on opinion. The missing titles may no longer be available because their contract to be on the service has elapsed. This is not unusual, and many series do return after a short period. However, given that most of these shows have one thing in common, there might be a case for them not returning. Much of the removed material is associated with CBS. Given their involvement in a new service called Paramount Plus, it is likely this is a strategic move for future use of the content. I am not sure if this could signal a UK launch, but I am hopeful. Before I start receiving angry communication from listeners telling me I'm barking up the wrong tree, I feel I should fill in a few holes to help justify my thoughts. The shows that remain might have rights tied to another company or have been negotiated as a separate deal, which would lapse at a different time. It may be the source has decided to save its money and not renew for Amazon Prime due to low take-up! Whatever the case, I will be happy as long as such content is somewhere to view. So what else is there to say? I've said enough. If you have anything to say about the shows mentioned in this podcast, you can email Jamie@OldTimeReview.co.uk, tweet @OldTimeReview on Twitter or check out the Facebook page, Old Time Review. This is Jamie Dyer signing off.

En este episodio mis reflexiones sobre el nuevo presidente, Joe Biden, su programa electoral, sus éxitos en los primeros 100 días y lo que se espera de su mandato. En el episodio se recuerda Petticoat Junction, una famosa serie televisiva de los primeros años de la televisión americana, donde aparece la figura del Tío Joe, Joe Carson. Un papel secundario de un personaje que es el alma de la serie y describe a una persona de carácter bonachón y algo tontorrón al que sin embargo, todo el pueblo considera y le tiene afecto. Al Presidente Joe Biden, en numerosas ocasiones, se le ha comparado con este hombre, menospreciando su inteligencia, su formación y hasta su capacidad intelectual. Lo curioso es que ambos, permanecieron en un buen segundo plano, durante toda la trayectoria. Espero que te guste, lo compartas y que le des like al episodio y si no te has suscrito aún, que lo hagas. Un abrazo y como siempre, deseándote que te encuentres bien.

March 21 - 27, 1970 This week Ken welcomes Go-Go, and author of the great new memoir "All I Ever Wanted", Kathy Valentine. Ken and Kathy talk about how ubiquitous TV Guide used to be, stumbling upon Suzie Quatro on Top of the Pops as a kid and having your life changed, how television helped The Go-Gos get big, radio vs. tv, procrastination, watching your old clips, playing on SNL, sexist ads, cartoons, George of the Jungle, TV theme songs, Mission Impossible, ad jingles, I Dream of Jeanie, Petticoat Junction, Green Acres, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, serial killers, how TV would stop some times, Davey and Goliath and LSD, The Archies, not liking the Monkees, Kurt Russell's teenage singing career, meeting Burt Ward, Westerns, Austin Texas, the 1987 Writer's Strike, why Monday is the greatest TV night, Hollywood Squares, Paul Lynde, how the Munsters helped Kathy's sobriety, It Takes a Thief, doing something nice for someone, Dick Cavett, Day of the Triffids, Art Linkletter, knowing Johnny Cash, pipe organ enthusiasts, Joel Grey singing the hot hits of the day for the kids, Agnes Moorehead, wanting to be an ad exec, supportive mothers, Here Come the Brides, Where the Boys Are, snarky TV Guide descriptions, Buffy St. Marie, cigarettes, hating Hee Haw, re-watching Curb Your Enthusiasm, Better Call Saul, and realizing how your time on Earth is limited and feeling a need to get things done.

Les, Kurt, and Jason are about to take on the Horniest Hallmark Movie ever (by Hallmark standards), but first we find out that Kurt has finally watched the Fyre Festival documentary on Netflix... and a video of Blac Chyna twerking on OnlyFans. This leads Jason to the realization that pole dancing is way easier in outer space (no gravity!). All this talk of porn sites and pole dancing makes the guys realize it's time to talk about a Hallmark movie, 2016's Wedding Bells starring Danica McKellar. Luckily, Kurt thinks he's ok with Danica now after not wanting to give Danica her due on an earlier episode of this podcast ("Christmas at Dollywood is a Chance to Debate the Merits of Peppermint vs. Wint-O-Green"). We find out that Danica's character had a disturbing childhood filled with diet foods and (we assume) a philandering father, but not as disturbing as her love interest whose dad is torn between being played by Bruce Boxleitner (The Scarecrow and Mrs. King) and Gil Gerard (Buck Rogers). Les is not fulfilled by the movies many many montages as none of them include dressing up and twirling, so the guys all realize that they need to find the zen of Petticoat Junction... followed by 20 minutes of nationally televised dry humping.  Facebook : alifetimeofhallmark Instagram : lifetimeofhallmarkpodcast Theme song generously donated by purple-planet.com

Organizational impact is a result of effective leadership! The SynerVision Leadership Nonprofit Reactivation Symposium is a one-day intensive virtual event for you to learn the skills to stand up or grow your nonprofit, recruit the right board and volunteers, create a winning strategy, and attract donors to support your mission. This symposium is designed to equip nonprofit leaders and clergy to break through barriers in performance for themselves, boards, staff, and volunteers; and to attract the funding to support the fulfillment of the organization's mission. To register for this Virtual Symposium go HERE   Read the Preview Conversation Dr. Thyonne Gordon: Well, I guess we can introduce ourselves, huh? I am Dr. Thyonne Gordon. I am here in sunny Los Angeles, California. I am your story strategist. I help people with curating and creating the best story of their life, their project, their idea, their business. As Hugh continues to pull me back into the nonprofit world, I help nonprofits to curate their story of great success. Hugh Ballou: You're so valuable to this sector. Let me introduce who's here. We're here to share with you. It's a preview session. Thank you for being here today. Today is a special edition of The Nonprofit Exchange. It's thoughts, ideas, encouragement, empowerment, learning, examples to learn from. It's people who have something to share. Everybody here has been a guest on previous episodes of the podcast. We'll have some more people joining us. These are presenters for the Nonprofit Reactivation Symposium that will happen on May 1. I wanted the presenters to give you their story about what they're going to share with you. Also, why did they want to show up? I am going to start with Dr. David Gruder. David, you've been with me doing this kind of stuff for a way long time, back since water. This is #27 of these live events. This one is the first one that is virtual, and it's very different. It was the Leadership Empowerment Symposium for years. You and I started noodling on the title. Share a little bit about what we talk about and why we named this a reactivation symposium. Dr. David Gruder: Right. Well, first of all, it's a pleasure to be here with you, Hugh, as always, and to be with these wonderful, esteemed colleagues who I so respect and appreciate and love. The changes that are going on in our society right now that have been brought to the forefront through the COVID-19 crisis are changes that have been under way for a while in a lower-key manner, that in a sense flew under the radar. Because of what's been magnified through the COVID-19 crisis, we really are in the process of establishing what's being called a new norm. Nonprofits are going to be dramatically impacted by this new norm. So what we at SynerVision Leadership Foundation are committed to doing is helping nonprofits stay ahead of that curve so that we craft the new norm together as the nonprofit world so that nonprofits can fill their proper place in the world in a more effective way in the new norm rather than be drowned out because of the craziness that is going on as the new norm emerges. Hugh: Craziness. Whoa. I love it. We were talking a little bit before we officially started. I had a technical glitch, and my Zoom disappeared off my computer. I am back. We were talking about being busier than ever. When somebody says, “Why do we need reactivation?” you are going to talk a little bit… Tell them about what you're talking about. David: The topic I am going to be speaking on is reenvisioning leader development in the new normal. The things that have been emerging during this COVID crisis really illuminate the necessity of, I don't want to be dramatic here too much, but pretty much an overhaul of the vision of what leadership is going to need to include that people were thinking of as optional before now. Now it's mandatory. I am going to be covering four key areas of new norm leadership and leader development in my talk. Hugh: We won't tell them exactly what that is yet. David: Ooh, it's a secret. You have to show up to find out. Hugh: It's a secret. Each of you have recorded a little promo that we have put out on the Internet and invited people to come. The latest one I got a few minutes ago was from Dr. Gordon. We have some California people here. David Gruder, you're way south, Spanish-speaking San Diego. Thyonne, you're a little north of there in Los Angeles. Talk a little bit about what you're talking about, and why. Thyonne: Yes, I'm Dr. Thyonne. I will be talking about shifting your crisis story through board leadership. I'll be speaking in regard to how boards and executive directors and organizations overall need to work together during the time of crisis more than ever. No matter what, board leaders and their executives should always be in mind step. But during a crisis, it's really important for the board to step up and take their leadership role and do it in a more advanced way than they have in the past. I'll be speaking about how board members can show up in that type of way. Hugh: We'll be talking more about that. This is the special edition of The Nonprofit Exchange. This particular event, we have a key sponsor, EZ-Card. *Sponsor message from EZ-Card* We have Greg Sanders today. Greg represents the EZ-Card company. It's his company. He founded it. But you're not just a tech guy, are you? Just a little bit about Greg. Why are you supporting the work of SynerVision Leadership Foundation? Greg Sanders: I just want to say what a privilege it is first of all to be here. I understand this is a relatively informal gathering, so I did not wear a suit and tie. I agree with Dr. Gruder. This time is a time of transition. So many people are learning new technical skills, supportive technologies, to enable them to conduct business and do face-to-face meetings in this type of venue as opposed to meeting at Starbucks and going to live venues. Not just businesspeople, but their customers. If I am going to do an estimate and put a roof on your house, I am not going to come to your house anymore. I am going to ask you to hop on your phone or computer. The normal person on the street is also developing all of these online skills. So to David's point about nonprofits, every nonprofit I'm aware of works with a skeleton crew. They are time-challenged and resource-challenged, and they probably don't have time to think about what Dr. Gruder is going to talk about, which is how to rest and reshape and reform. They are trying to survive. Coming on Friday is so valuable. What we're doing at EZ-Card is we are the supportive technology. I am not a major speaker. I will speak briefly about possibly using EZ-Card along with Zoom or other technologies which move your message forward in this particular environment. That is what EZ-Card is. I will be explaining the benefits of EZ-Card as a mobile app. When I think of a nonprofit, they have to get their message out. They have to raise money. They have to let their supporters know this is our valuable work we are doing day in and day out. Any video they can show where they are caring for children or at-risk populations, any way to get their message out there, and they can do that with EZ-Card on their phone. That is what we'll be doing, and we are happy to support the event itself. If you'd like to look at it and share it with people to get there on Friday, you just text LDR, which is an abbreviation for leadership, to 64600. Two things will happen. You will get a link to your phone. You click the link, and the EZ-Card opens. It could take you to the SynerVision website. It could take you to details about Friday's event. You can register. But it will also give Hugh and the leadership team your mobile number so they can send you text reminders about the event. Text LDR to 64600. We'd like to provide similar technology to any nonprofit if we can help you do what you do better and help you raise more money. Hugh: It's an amazing tool. I know David Gruder has one. The others of you who have seen it. Sherita just saw it for the first time. Bob Hopkins out there in Big D, Dallas, Texas. You're recording as you were wearing this ten-gallon hat. So passionate about philanthropy he even named his horse Philanthropy. Bob Hopkins: I did. I did, and I do. Hugh: It's this kid who said to his dad, “Your ten-gallon hat won't hold ten gallons; it only holds four quarts.” Tell us what you are going to talk about and why you want to talk about that. Bob: It changes every hour quite frankly. I just got off the television looking at the president of Brown University. By the way, universities are nonprofit organizations. Talking about how hundreds of thousands of colleges are going to stay afloat because they depend upon tuition, and lots of kids aren't going back to school at this time because they don't know what they're going to do, and they don't have jobs anymore. They won't be able to afford to go. I'm sure every board of directors of every university or college in the country is madly trying to figure it out. One of the people I invited to come on Friday as a student is Alfonse Brown. He's at a university in Florida, an African-American law university, the oldest one in the country. He has board meetings all day Friday and Saturday, trying to figure out what they are going to do in the fall. Not in the summer. We have already figured out the summer; we are doing Zoom, just like we're doing now. What are they going to do in the fall with those huge buildings, with billions of square feet? With students, I have 22-24 students in my classroom. We cannot handle six feet apart. If every classroom doesn't have 24-26, they will lose money. Thousands of colleges will have to close. Then I'm thinking about my students. My students have been introduced to the nonprofit sector in my class because I teach communications with a focus on nonprofit management. I'm thinking about them because what are they going to get out of it, and what message am I going to give them? I have a requirement that all my students come to this class on Friday. It's half of their final. Then they have to write a critique on what they experienced, what they got out of it as 50 points, and they have to write their eulogy for the other 50 points. After this semester, they will probably want to die anyway, so their eulogy might be appropriate. I don't know. I'm going to look at what you all are going to talk about, so I will try to fit in so I am not talking about the same thing. I listened to speaking about boards of directors as well as Thyonne. There are so many avenues of how to talk about boards of directors. How to get them, how to keep them, how many to get, what are their responsibilities, those kinds of things. I think, and you already messaged it to me right now, is how they will stay afloat. That's what boards of directors are going to want to know when they come to see us when we are talking about nonprofit management and organizations. How are we going to stay afloat? What is the new normal going to be? I think that changes every day, too. We are supposed to in Texas open up last Friday. I went to the bank just now. There was one man in there without a mask on. I went to the president sitting in the corner and said, “Is it a requirement to wear masks now?” He said, “Yes, it is, but we're not enforcing it. It's a $1,000 fine, and we're not enforcing it.” I said, “Why not? It's a rule and a law. If I have to do it, they have to do it because I am not being protected, but they are being protected from me.” I tell you every minute I find something different. Our lives are going to change not just from the board level, but from the people who come to participate with us. All of them won't be board members. They will be people who are not involved in the nonprofit sector as a living or in a vocation, but as maybe just a volunteer. Hugh: Bob and I met recently. My wife was going to Dallas for a conference at SMU. We were introduced by guests on my show who were the founders of Barefoot Winery. They accidentally founded a winery; it's a great story. We connected. Bob, you have a book in your hand there? Bob: Hugh, I'm so sorry you asked. This is my book. It's called Philanthropy Misunderstood. Is that appropriate for the time. I think it should be Management Misunderstood, Nonprofits Misunderstood, Our Planet Misunderstood. My next book will be called Philanthropy Understood. Hopefully in the next two years, we will figure that out. Hugh: Sherita and Thyonne will have some stories for you there. They have a massive amount of connections and nonprofits they have worked with. The new normal is you go into the bank with a mask on. It used to be when you walk into the bank with a mask on, they will be nervous. Now if you don't have a mask on, they're nervous. The new normal is opposite polarity. Bob: They are still nervous because they arrested two men and asked them to leave. Unfortunately, you people of color will understand this. These were two black men with two black masks on. The people behind the counter were uncomfortable with them and asked them to leave, not knowing if they had a billion dollars in the bank or whatever reason they were there. It didn't matter. We have a lot of challenges coming up. Hugh: Sherita, on that happy note, tell folks- Bob has been a lifelong champion of nonprofits. He has been a CFRE with the fundraising professionals. He is a wee bit older than me. Finally I am in a group with one person who is my senior. My sister Sherita out there, where are you now? Arkansas? Sherita Herring: I am in Hattieville, Arkansas, of all names, right? Bob: I know Hattieville. Sherita: The fact that I am even here in Hattieville. When I was a young girl, do you guys remember Petticoat Junction? I used to want to live there. I loved Betty Jo, Billie Jo, Bobbie Jo, Uncle Joe. I loved the pig Arnold. Most people did not realize how much I am a country girl. I am telling you that story because what I am going to be talking about on Friday is there are grants that exist even now that will allow you to live your most unbelievable dreams. I am living my dream. I am sitting here on 30 acres of land that has been passed down in my family for over 100 years. It's been almost 50 years since my great-grandfather passed away and anyone has lived here. It's not a cliché for me. I am living my best life right now in an RV with chickens and Guinea, and he is out there spraying. That's what I'll be talking about. Thank you for having me on with these other experts, Hugh. Hugh: We have Wil Coleman. He is a great musician out there in Raleigh, North Carolina. We will hopefully have Dr. Williams here in just a minute. Sherita: He is coming on now. Hugh: We also have a presenter who is not here, Bishop Ebony Kirkland. If you go to the landing page for the symposium at NonprofitLeadership.live, I am watching my phone. People are registering. It's exciting. We want to fill the house because there is so much important work to do. If you click on the pictures for these good-looking people, a video will pop up with an invitation as to what they are talking about in more detail and why you should come. This word “reactivation,” it's a mystery word for some of us because we are working as hard as we can. It's a new era. It's an important era. Bob has invited students. He is in the classroom again. He's worn a lot of hats. I gotta tell you, I have been in his class with his students. They come to our nonprofit leadership group on Thursdays. You are inspiring a new group of leaders, profound group of leaders coming up. There is a lot of untapped potential for people who might get overlooked. I remember, Bob, when I was 18, I had a chance to conduct when I was nothing but potential. Somebody like you believed in me. Somebody like you said, “Hugh, give it a go.” I was able to step up into a whole career. Let's go back to David Gruder for a minute. I want to ask any of you to shout out when you can. This is such an important occasion. Bob just talked about colleges who are a specific type of nonprofit. Big universities with big budgets and a lot of foundations and history are having challenging times. Imagine a small community organization that wants to feed people, clothe people, house people. They are working on a bare strings budget. David, what's important for our mindset? What's important for how to equip ourselves to rethink leadership and our work? David: Oh my. Well, okay. Short version is that we need to shift our, what's called in psychology, locus of control. Right now, in society, there is an external locus of control. What locus of control has to do with is how a person centers their ideas about where control lives. Right now, a lot of people are thinking that society and government and COVID-19 and external circumstances are the boss of them. That is a mindset that is a surefire recipe for victimization, powerlessness, and empty, unhelpful forms of rebellion. That has to shift into what in psychology is called an internal locus of control, where I'm the boss of the future I create. I'm the boss of my own stories that I tell myself and the emotions that I have and response to those stories and the words and actions that I say and do in response to the emotions I have about the stories I create. That is a skillset that is developable, and it is a crucial skillset, not only for leaders to embody, but for teams to be trained in how to do because without that, there will be no conscious, elevated, spiritual architecting of a new norm that is helpful to humanity rather than harmful to humanity. Hugh: David Gruder says things, and I say, “Gosh, I wish I would have put those words together like that.” He is a champion wordsmith. Anything else you want to share? Thyonne, I was so impressed by your short video. Of course, I was impressed by all of them, but yours is in mind because I got it most recently. It was passionate. You used to be part of a foundation that sent you out to do board capacity building. Why is it so important for us to learn ourselves as leaders, to equip ourselves as leaders to grow and engage our boards at a higher level? Thyonne: Thanks for the compliment on the video that you had me do at the last minute. It's really important for us as leaders to engage and interact with our boards because our boards are what make our organizations. They hold the fiduciary responsibility for our nonprofit organizations, which means if they're not working in step with the executives and the team at the organizational level, you absolutely could slip and fall. Your board is like your safety net. They are looking at things. Their role is to actually make sure the organization is staying afloat, is sustainable, is doing what it says it's supposed to do, staying in line with the vision and the mission. Your board is your support system. It's important for leaders to understand the relationship and the role they have with their board members. The foundation that I worked with prior was the Annenberg Foundation here in Los Angeles. We did do capacity-building by teaching board leaders how to work in alignment with the executive director. The program was called Alchemy. It was a magical program to bring together the executive director and a support person, or a champion, and the board chair. They had to come together in the program, which we would do quarterly. We came for classes and learning how to work together, how to build the capacity of the organization, and even how to fundraise. With them working hand in hand, they were able to have much higher success rates. It's important for leaders to understand the importance of their board and what their board roles are. Especially with small organizations, when you start an organization, my mom is on the board, my brother is on the board, and my sister down north. They're like, “Yeah, sure, you can put my name down.” They have no idea what it means to be responsible on a board. They don't know anything about board governance. It's important for leaders who want to start these nonprofits to understand your board is a serious thing. It's not just your mom and grandma and everybody who said, “Yeah, we should do that. That sounds cool.” And you're selling pies or chicken dinners or whatever it is to raise money. That's great, but if you have a board who understands their fiduciary responsibility, they will say, “We can sell these chicken dinners, but we also have to expand and talk to somebody like Sherita about how we find grant funding and how we are in alignment with that and how we stay with our vision and our mission. If you're working with saving the chickens, selling chicken dinners might not be a good idea.” Hugh: Absolutely. Thyonne: It's important for us to know what we're doing and that our boards know their roles. Hugh: I want to get Sherita on here for a minute. Sherita has some family issues, and she needs to go tend to some of those important things. She set you up for this thing that you are going to talk about. Everybody thinks there is grants, and it will be a smooth road going after them. You send in an application, and people will give you all this money. We have to learn some things as leaders, don't we? Sherita: Yes. For one, grant funders are investors just like any other investor. People think that there is a magic potion or something when it comes to grants for the nonprofit arena. That's why another time when Hugh and I worked together, and I wrote that article, “Nonprofit - The Stepchild of Business,” people treat a nonprofit like a side gig or a hobby. They don't put much into it. They might submit one grant or two grants and don't receive it and say, “See, everyone told me not to do this.” But they have been trying to get money for their for-profit business for 20 years and kept trying until they succeeded. They will not put much into the nonprofit arena but expect a greater return. That's what tends to happen. When you're going after grants, it's a joint process with the executive or whoever they choose to work with the person that is writing the grants because even myself, I raised over $30 million. We developed over 600 organizations. But there is no way to just take it upon myself and write about my clients' accomplishments without their assistance. I am very good at what I do, but I am only as good as the information received. People expect you to write a grant for a building, for the grant-writer to write about it without their input. The grant-writer doesn't know their accomplishments, who they have worked with in the past as far as collaborations, their projects. It has to be a joint effort in order to make it happen. Yes, like you said, I lost a very dear uncle this morning. I tried to clear my calendar to be on here with you, but I got the call this morning that my uncle passed away. I am working on a couple of things. Before I leave, it's also important for people. Just today or yesterday it was reported, a director of an ER committed suicide. She was in New York at a major hospital. Had contracted coronavirus herself while treating patients. Got well, went back to work, and yesterday, committed suicide. Organizations after every catastrophe, whether it is Katrina or the 1930s Depression, after every catastrophe, it doesn't stop there. There is going to be an aftermath. There is cause and effect. Organizations are going to need to get prepared for depression, suicide prevention, PTSD, while also like professionals like ourselves, helping people to regain themselves after this. With every issue or problem, there is grant funding. That is why grants are there: to address problems and issues. This is why the nonprofit arena, and you hear about grants more during times like this. It's not that it operates less. The nonprofit arena steps up more. It's important to understand that, understand how you can stabilize your footing, and understand the process of how to go after funding in order to ride this wave. Yes, it is a negativity that is happening right now. Yes, we are losing lives. Yes, a lot of businesses are closed right now. If we understand how to ride the wave of what is happening right now in addition to knowing how to survive and move forward in it, that is what I will be talking about. I thank you for having me on, including me with these other experts. Wil, hi, how are you? It's been years. Tell Pastor I said hello, and I do want to speak with you guys following on this. David Gruder, Greg, Thyonne, and Bob, I look forward to being with you on Friday. Have a very blessed day. Hugh: That was so profound. It's time for some summary statements. I'd like to start with Bob Hopkins. Every time I talk to Bob, I am amazed at the depth of knowledge he has about a lot of different topics. He is living the sweet life. He could be tending his garden, but he is out there inspiring students and teaching. He has joined the SynerVision team and wants to help us take the magazine up another level and do some work with us. Blessings to you and sharing your gifts, and thank you for being a part of this presenting team. We are going to wrap up here and let everybody have a moment to say something. What would you like to add to the conversation? Bob: I'm anxious to read the content again of everybody and what we are going to do and where I fit in. I am going to be there for the entire time. A lot of it might be off the top of my head after I have learned what I have heard from you. I don't want to go on a tangent that doesn't have some relationship to what we are already talking about. I think as a time when we all speak for 20 minutes at a time, then I'm later on in the afternoon. I'm the last speaker. At least that was the schedule I saw. Hugh: I messed with it because we had some changes I had to make. I am going to send that out to you right after this session. You do have several times that you are going to be able to influence people and share some of your stuff. I have had to rework it. Our Bishop Kirkland in New York couldn't be here today. She is sitting in New York talking to people about working together, collaborating. She is going to share with us Friday about that. We will get a report on how that is going in New York City. Bob, you could speak off the top of your head all day and not duplicate yourself. You have such a wealth of information. We are going to talk about philanthropy. His book is brilliant. He lifted it up before. Your book is 100-something stories of nonprofits and how philanthropy really works. We think we know what philanthropy is, but it really is different. How do boards connect with that? You have experience running nonprofits as well as being a resource to them. We have had to make the schedule a little fluid, but it's not a whole lot different. I have moved you up in the day a little bit. Whenever you talk, people are going to listen. It's like one of those big investment companies. When they talk, we all listen. Knowing that, you're going to have great gifts to share. Don't put yourself down. You have a lot of important stuff to share. Thank you for being part of this great presentation team. Bob: Thank you. Hugh: Greg Sanders. Why is the work of a nonprofit so important? Why are you sponsoring SynerVision? Greg: My mother and my father were both university teachers. My mom was in foreign languages, Spanish. My father was in music. I taught sociology for 30 years. I have a big heart for students who can't figure out what the heck they are going to do with their lives when they are 18-22, which is an important thing I felt like I did when I was working at the university. Not just transmitting content, but helping people figure out their futures. I think about Dr. Gruder who is known for integrity. My feeling is that everything we do should be of service to other people. I love the nonprofit organization because they wear right on their sleeve that we are here to serve. Businesses should have that same mindset. If what you do is not improving the quality of life for other people, you should go do something else. That is what EZ-Card attempts to do. I tell people if you are going to build a house, you could do it with your bare hands, but it's a lot better to do it with tools, even with power tools, because if you spend $1 on a power tool, it's going to help you save hundreds of dollars in building that house. That is what we are trying to do at EZ-Card. If the technology fits and helps people to do what they have chosen to do to help other people in a more efficient manner, that is what we're all about. I think we are right. We need to rethink the way we are doing everything, and we need to think about it in terms of helping other people. We are trying to make money during this period of time, but we are also caring for people. Just recently, I had one middle-aged adult talking about taking care of her 88-year-old mother right now and saying, “My mom was healthy. She went out with her friends. She went to restaurants. She had an active life. Now she is cooped up in her house and is wasting away. She is no longer actively engaging.” My advice is to maintain your normal life as best you can, even having to shelter in place. How can you maintain the routines? How can you maintain life as normal? It's that kind of strategic thinking that nonprofit organizations have to be maintained in. You can't do some things the way you did them before, but you can make a semblance of those activities and try to keep those healthy routines in place. I am privileged to be a part of it. We are trying to drive some traffic to what is happening on Friday from the EZ-Card side. Hugh: Text 64600 with LDR in the message. You will have the SynerVision card. Dr. Gordon, how would you like to close? Thyonne: Hugh, I hope you can keep David, Greg, Bob, and Wil because I plan on putting on my mask and kidnapping Bob from Texas. Bob, don't pay attention. I am going to be grabbing you and bringing you to California. Bob: My bags are packed. Thyonne: I have already texted Greg's site. I am excited about that. David, I know how I feel about you. Wil, I just met you. This is going to be an amazing symposium. I am excited to be part of it. Anyone who misses it, you are about to miss out on the opportunity of a lifetime. That is what we have to understand as nonprofit leaders and people in this space. I will speak as an African-American woman. This isn't our first time in a crisis. We know how to get through a crisis. Nonprofits, we are used to not having a whole lot and making a lot happen. In this crisis, we are the leaders. We actually know what to do already. Our leadership style is what everybody else is trying to do. We have been doing this makeshift thing for a long time. We have such an opportunity to take this thing by the horns and make an opportunity of it. That is what I will talk about with the board leadership as well. When board leaders step up right now, there are all sorts of opportunities for us to come out of this thriving and leading during this crisis as well as through this crisis to help us get through it. There is so much opportunity. With the people who will be at this symposium, wow, you will get the ideas, the information. You will have the knowledge that you need to break through and make a change in your organization. I am excited. Hugh, let's make it happen. Bob, don't look for me, but I am coming to get you. Hugh: That's awesome. You may have noticed some old white guy. Sometimes we're clueless. Some of us know how to dress, but not me. Wil, did you say Pastor is on here? Blessings. Do you have a picture, or will you just talk to us? Dr. Kevin Williams: I am just going to talk to you. I don't have a picture today. Hugh: Thank you for being here. All of us have crazy schedules. We have some awesome folks. You are going to talk about how Paul said be transformed by the renewal of your mind. Talk about the transformation that you are going to talk about. You will be square up at noon EST at the symposium. It's the spot before we take a lunch break. Tell us why we need that and why you want to share that with people. Kevin: Right now, I think one of the greatest challenges that that could hinder any individual is to be stuck to an old way of thinking. Everything that has transpired recently has caused two waves of thought. One wave is people believing that things will go back to the way that they were, which is a very dangerous mindset. The other thought is understanding that they won't go back to the way that they were, but also understand what is getting ready to come. Any time there is going to be advancement, either you are going to be a reactionary person or you will be an initiating individual. Thought leaders nowadays have to initiate so that we can provoke other people to initiate and not be reactionary. Usually, if you are reactionary, you are going to suffer the consequences of reacting. But when your mind is renewed, when Paul talks about that, he is talking about a renovation of taking out some old things, almost like renovating a house, taking out some old things and literally changing the scope of the house and the aspect of it so that it can meet your current needs. The same thing happens in the mind. If a person doesn't transform their thinking and get out of the old stuck way of thinking, they are going to ultimately implode and damage themselves. But when an individual comes into a mind renewal, this is why symposiums like this are key and important, because what you have then is you have thought leaders who are ultimately like construction workers. What we're doing is aiding the individual to renovate their thinking because in this renovation, people are not just going to learn about what's new, but also learn the type of thinking they should have that has hurt them before but also is going to help them now because now we're open to a new way of thinking. If you look at what's happening with the United States, with the government, with the marketplace, everything is shifting. Look at stocks. Look at the different kinds of currency now, like cryptocurrency. All of these different things that are happening, our mind has to be renewed. The next thing is we have to make sure that we don't fall into the hands of something that we don't ascribe to because with all of this that is happening, by being a faith leader, I understand that God has an agenda. Even though God has a focus and a vision for all of us, so does the enemy. We have to make sure we are not operating in something that looks like it has a form of goodness, but denies the power thereof. As thought leaders, one of the things I believe that is important is that our thinking definitely has to change in order for us to be effective for this coming time and for this generation right now that is depending on us to see something for them that they cannot see for themselves. Hugh: Awesome. Dr. Williams, it's been a few years, but you invited me down to work with your congregation. We did some leadership stuff. Wil and I did some music stuff. Also, the very first symposium happened in Greensboro at your church. Did you know that? Kevin: Wow. I knew that we did the symposium, but I didn't know it was the first one. Hugh: That was a shorter one. It was an evening. You put out the word, and everybody came. I remember Bishop Willimon asked somebody why they came, and they said, “Pastor said to come.” He was quite impressed with that. This is #27. It's changed a little bit. Of course, we can't do it live right now, so we are doing it virtually. It's a celebration of something we started in Greensboro at New Jerusalem Cathedral. Thank you for helping me launch this so many years ago. Kevin: Most definitely. I always want to be a part of things that you're doing. Hugh: Blessings. You've been a blessing to me. Thank you for being here. You're sharing it with your tribe. Bishop Kirkland is out here in New York City getting people to collaborate. She is doing some important work today. She will be with us on Friday. May 1. Be there. Thank you for getting in here. As we close out here, my brother David Gruder, you get the last spot. You know Dr. Williams, don't you? David: Yes. We have not talked or seen each other for a number of years, but I am delighted to reconnect. Hugh: This has been a great conversation. What do you want to leave us with? David: What I want to leave you all with is a quote from a 20th century thought leader that many of you are familiar with by name at least, Buckminster Fuller. What Bucky Fuller said was, “The best way to predict the future is to invent it.” This Friday, we are going to be talking about how nonprofits get to invent their future in effective, useful ways. I am really looking forward to offering some key psychological foundations for inventing a new future. Hugh: And you have a book. Do you want to offer a virtual version of it? Tell us about that. David: Very briefly, yeah. I have been involved in one capacity or another with 24 books now. One of them is a book I was the psychology editor for called Transcendent Thought and Market Leadership. That is by Bruce Raymond Wright. I have been blessed by Bruce to be able to offer a digital copy of the book as a gift to everyone who attends the symposium on Friday. Hugh: We will have some other gifts, but that is a significant one. David, thank you for being here. Kevin, thank you for being here. Greg, thank you for being here. Bob, thank you for being here. Thyonne is going to capture you and take you to California. He can do a book signing there. He will do that in California. I look forward to putting a spin on nonprofit leadership in a good way and inspiring people to go out there and make a huge difference. Thank you so much for sharing today with everybody.   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

I’m happy to give you my premiere episode. I love all things about classic television and am happy to begin this journey. This week, my husband and I are watching the pilot episode of one of my favorite shows from my (early) youth: Petticoat Junction, which premiered in 1963. Come ride along the train...

Farmer Gray looks for someone to remove an embarrassing splinter, bonds with his farmhand Juan Pedro's son, and rails against the casting of June Lockhart on "Petticoat Junction."

In the early 1970's, CBS axed its slate of hit country-themed sitcoms. The Beverly Hillbillies, Green Acres, and Petticoat Junction were just three of the shows that bought the farm. Mo talks to Linda Henning (star of Petticoat Junction), author Sara Eskridge and TV critic Alan Sepinwall about the sitcom slaughter.

Natasha Haynes the host of The Food Factor satisfies our appetites with a discussion on how knowing what to eat helps everyone make healthy choices when we sit down to eat. Transcript: Announcer: This is 4H4U2, a podcast from the Mississippi State University Extension Service promoting 4-H programs and positive youth development. Here now your host, Dr. John Long and Cobie Rutherford. John Long: Well, if you're hearing that funky music, you know what it's time for. It is a time for another podcast of 4H4U2. I'm your host John Long. Cobie Rutherford: And I'm Cobie Rutherford. John Long: And I tell you what, we're laying down some tracks on this podcast. If I think I am correct, it will be our 21st episode. Cobie Rutherford: Wow. Time is flying, John. John Long: Yes it is. It is. We're having fun doing it, too. And we are so happy to have our guest with us today. And Cobie, I'm going to let you introduce our guest today. Cobie Rutherford: Well, our guest, I think, is one of Extension at Mississippi State celebrities. John Long: Yes. Cobie Rutherford: Miss Natasha, you all know her as a host of The Food Factor. And Natasha, what is your exact title? Natasha Haynes: Extension Agent 4, and I am in the Rankin County Extension Office. John Long: Shout out to Rankin County. Cobie Rutherford: They've had a big week. John Long: Yes. Natasha Haynes: We have had a big week. I saw on social media we won second place, National 4-H Forestry. John Long: That is awesome. Cobie Rutherford: That's really good. John Long: That is awesome. I've been to that 4H camp up there. And you ever been to Jackson's Mill? Y'all ever been there? Cobie Rutherford: I have not. Natasha Haynes: I have not. John Long: It is absolutely beautiful, absolutely beautiful. I've been there twice. Cobie Rutherford: So I guess Natasha is here today to talk to us about foods. John Long: Yes. Cobie Rutherford: I have watched all these, every single episode of The Food Factor. Natasha Haynes: Thank you! Cobie Rutherford: I'm a huge, huge fan. And Natasha, I know your favorite color is purple. Natasha Haynes: It is. Cobie Rutherford: And things you like to cook. Natasha Haynes: See I have my purple tennis shoes on. Cobie Rutherford: I see that. We never get to see those purple tennis shoes on Food Factor. Natasha Haynes: I know. I know. John Long: Her office is purple. Natasha Haynes: Is purple. Cobie Rutherford: Is it really? John Long: Yes. Natasha Haynes: Yes. It's all purple. Cobie Rutherford: How about that? John Long: It's cool. Cobie Rutherford: I feel like we're sitting with a celebrity. Natasha Haynes: Y'all are so kind. John Long: Yeah, I do, too. Cobie Rutherford: If we had Gary Bachman in here, I feel like we would have the duo of Extensions. John Long: I'm telling you. Natasha Haynes: Now, Gary is a celebrity. I've been out with him. Natasha Haynes: People recognize him everywhere we go. John Long: Every time I see The Food Factor, I don't care who's in the room, I say, "I know her. I work with her." Cobie Rutherford: Yeah. Natasha Haynes: Thank you. I appreciate that. Cobie Rutherford: Natasha, what is your most favorite part about your job? Natasha Haynes: I like the fact that it's so different. I mean, I have really enjoyed being the host of Food Factor, because so many people have recognized me and they've talked about different recipes they've tried. I know just working in the Extension Office has been fun, because no two days are truly alike, and it's just always something different. John Long: Right. And we're going to be talking about food today. When Cobie said that, I was like, well, if you could see both of us, Cobie and I, you know we love food. Cobie Rutherford: We do. Natasha Haynes: I love food. We've been eating it. We've been filming the last few days, so I have eaten a good bit. So, I have got to go to the gym tonight. John Long: What is your favorite thing to eat? Natasha Haynes: Wow. I would say sushi. John Long: I love sushi, yeah. Natasha Haynes: I love sushi. I am a rice-a-holic, and I'm trying to not eat as much sushi. No offense to the Rice Council. I love rice, so I'm not saying anything negative. John Long: Right, right. Natasha Haynes: I'm just trying to cut back on my intake. John Long: Everything in moderation. Natasha Haynes: Everything in moderation. John Long: Nothing wrong with that. Natasha Haynes: So, I love that. And of course I just love any kind of fruits. I'm really hung up on cherries right now, I guess, because they're on sale at the grocery store. But I've been eating like a bag of cherries in a couple of days. John Long: That's good. Natasha Haynes: Yes. John Long: That's good. Natasha Haynes: So, that's my second favorite. Cobie Rutherford: I like everything John Long: I do, too. Cobie Rutherford: ... except tomatoes. I will not eat a raw tomato. John Long: Are you the same way? Natasha Haynes: No! I love tomatoes. John Long: I do, too. Natasha Haynes: You put basil on them, and put any kind of balsamic vinegar, oh, man, that's the best little salad. No. John Long: We need to bring a hot plate in here, and we can just do our own little- Natasha Haynes: We can make our own food, right? John Long: If you hear the sizzling, that's us. Natasha Haynes: Right on the podcast. Cobie Rutherford: That'd be really good. Natasha Haynes: Then we need smell-a-vision. John Long: I know. Wouldn't it be so nice? Cobie Rutherford: You know, by the time we're retired it could happen. John Long: It could. Natasha Haynes: It can happen. John Long: Food Factor with smell-a-vision. Natasha Haynes: With smell-a-vision. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah. That'd be awesome. Natasha Haynes: We'll make that a app. John Long: See? Natasha Haynes: Extension has to get it. John Long: We always say that this is where the great ideas come from, right here. Natasha Haynes: It does. Cobie Rutherford: That's right. Natasha Haynes: It does. John Long: Yeah, that's true. That is very true. Cobie Rutherford: I like cooking, but I don't feel like I'm very good at it, because every time I do I mess up every single dish, and every single pan in my house. Natasha Haynes: I'm like that. I'm a messy cook. I pretty much have my kitchen all counter top full of different pots and pans and seasonings. But you know what? I look at this way, a messy cook is a good cook. John Long: That's what I've always heard. Yeah. Natasha Haynes: So I wouldn't even worry about that. It just means you're going to spend more time cleaning up the kitchen. Cobie Rutherford: Cleaning up. Natasha Haynes: But that's fine. John Long: Yeah, that's right. Natasha Haynes: That's not a big deal. Like I said, I love to cook. John Long: I don't mind making a mess, I just don't like cleaning. Cobie Rutherford: I'm the same way, John. Natasha Haynes: I know, I know. But see, if you have kids, then you just tell them come in the kitchen. I don't have children, so that doesn't work for me. I have to clean up my own mess, but if you have children you could probably say, "Hey, y'all go in there and clean up the kitchen." John Long: I am a neat freak, and I have learned, being a parent, to just let it go. Natasha Haynes: Yes. John Long: Let it go. There will be a time where I can be in control of that again. Natasha Haynes: You can't with kids. John Long: No. Natasha Haynes: If they're in the kitchen cooking, it's just going to get messy. John Long: Yeah, that's right. Natasha Haynes: And I have nieces and nephews, and when they're in the kitchen with me it is messy. John Long: I guarantee it. I guarantee it. Cobie Rutherford: I don't know if we've got enough soap in our house that I could trust my child to wash his hands with to get them clean enough to touch his food or a dish that I'm going to eat out of. A nasty little animal. John Long: Have another one and you won't care. Cobie Rutherford: I know, right? Natasha Haynes: How old is your child? Cobie Rutherford: He's two and a half. Natasha Haynes: Oh, he's little, yeah. No, it'll change. You'll be okay. You'll get past that phase. Cobie Rutherford: I have learned though, and partly from The Food Factor, is that one time Natasha did an episode on, that if you can get your kids to help prepare their food, that they're more likely to eat it. And I tried that one night, I think it was with a quesadilla, and my son's very picky eating, but I let him help build the quesadilla and he thought that was so much fun and he ate every bite of it. Natasha Haynes: Wow. Well, that's a great thing, because I think ... We just did a recipe for cauliflower tots that's going to come out in a couple of weeks. And that was one thing I encouraged parents is to let your kids make that with you, because cauliflower is something different, and kids kind of frown upon that. So that was a good thing to just encourage parents to participate in that. And then, to put cheese in it. If you put cheese in things, kids will try it. John Long: Yes, yes. Natasha Haynes: Unless you have a child, like my nephew, who doesn't eat cheese, which, I think, that's just crazy. John Long: Or dump sour cream on it. Natasha Haynes: Dump sour cream on it. Or ketchup. John Long: Yes. Natasha Haynes: Now, you get real creative what sauces the kids like. John Long: That's right. It's ironic you say cauliflower, because yesterday we were having a conversation and one of our local pizza places here has a cauliflower pizza crust. Natasha Haynes: Yes. John Long: I don't want to say the big deal, but I'm going to be ignorant. Why is cauliflower such a- Natasha Haynes: It's just a good, versatile vegetable that you can use in cooking, and it gives a good consistency. John Long: I got you. Natasha Haynes: So, for example, cauliflower rice is real popular, right now. John Long: I heard ... Yeah, we were talking about that. Natasha Haynes: You can buy it in the grocery store. It's real inexpensive. It cooks well. It doesn't have a strong flavor, so you can put food with it and it takes on the flavor of the other foods. John Long: Okay. Natasha Haynes: So that's one good thing. John Long: Yeah, because they said that you really can't taste the cauliflower so much in them. Natasha Haynes: You can't, because I cook with cauliflower rice a good bit, and I usually just put whatever kind of meat on top and the sauce and it's fine. Cobie Rutherford: Cool. John Long: Yeah. That's awesome. Cobie Rutherford: I have not tried cooking with cauliflower. I've tried mashed cauliflower before. John Long: Now, that sounds like a good show. Natasha Haynes: Cooking with Cauliflower. Well, actually, we've done a segment on that. John Long: Really? Natasha Haynes: Go take a look. John Long: Okay. Cobie Rutherford: How about that? John Long: I've been on Food Factor. Natasha Haynes: You have. John Long: Yes. Cobie Rutherford: What did you cook? John Long: Well, I didn't cook anything. Natasha Haynes: No. John Long: It was my hands, when I was getting cereal off the shelf for something. Natasha Haynes: Yes, you were getting cereal off the shelf. John Long: These are famous hands. Natasha Haynes: We've used people in Bost a lot. Cobie Rutherford: Yes. Hand model. Natasha Haynes: Particularly on the fourth floor. John Long: I don't think I had a beard then. Cobie Rutherford: Oh, yeah? John Long: Probably not. Natasha Haynes: No, I don't think you did. Yeah, you look totally different, because that's been several years ago. Cobie Rutherford: You know. One thing, Natasha, that I got tickled at last year is when we were all at the state fair and we'd set up all the exhibits, and Natasha had the opportunity, and I'll say opportunity very loosely, to judge all the baked goods. And I remember just some of them had been in those bags probably for a few days. Natasha Haynes: That was an interesting contest to do. But it's always fun to see the chocolate chip cookies, and of course the yeast breads, and it can get really interesting as a nice way to just judge everything. But I do like that, because it's always great to see what kids are cooking. John Long: That's true. Cobie Rutherford: I got my start in 4-H with the Cookie Cook-Off in fifth grade. So, a lot of people say, well, Cobie is livestock all the way. But- Natasha Haynes: Yeah, because I thought you were a livestock agent. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, and if it hadn't been for cookies, I would've never, probably, went on with the 4H program, because I- Natasha Haynes: And look at you now. Cobie Rutherford: I know, right? Natasha Haynes: Who would've thought? Cobie Rutherford: Yeah. I had to give a presentation. We had to bake six cookies, and then stand up in front of the whole classroom to give our presentation on our cookies. I was- Natasha Haynes: What kind of cookies did you make? Cobie Rutherford: So I made yellow cake mix cookies with chocolate chips, and they were fantastic. John Long: And they were cauliflower. Cobie Rutherford: No. I didn't- Natasha Haynes: No, no cauliflower in those. Natasha Haynes: They should have been really good. Cobie Rutherford: They were very good. And then, I won the school contest and then went on to county. So that was my first real interaction with other people from around the county. It was so much fun. John Long: Mm-hmm (affirmative). Natasha Haynes: So then did you go on to the district or to state? Cobie Rutherford: Well, I was just a junior, so we didn't- Natasha Haynes: You didn't go all the way. Cobie Rutherford: I didn't go on all the way. I don't think I won the county contest. But I do remember, one time ... So my wife was really big in foods, and she did a a dairy demonstration at the district show, and I went and watched her give it. John Long: Is this when y'all met? Cobie Rutherford: Well, I had met her before, but I went ... I just saw the program, saw who was doing different contests, and I went and stalked her so I could be a fan. John Long: Oh, my. So this is the first time you stalked her. Natasha Haynes: And that's when you met your wife. Cobie Rutherford: That's right. John Long: Stalking her. Natasha Haynes: Stalking her at a 4-H event. John Long: And this is 4H4U2. Cobie Rutherford: And I told her- Natasha Haynes: You may not want to tell people that. John Long: That's right. Cobie Rutherford: That's probably a good thing. John Long: We'll edit that part out. Cobie Rutherford: But you know what she did make? And your purple purse reminded me, she made grape ice cream. John Long: I haven't had that. Cobie Rutherford: And she started out with this little poem about the Purple Cow. Natasha Haynes: Yes. Cobie Rutherford: I told her, when we started dating several years later, I'm like, "You know, I remember that." And she's like, "Oh my gosh, you're such a weirdo." John Long: The truth comes out. Cobie Rutherford: I know, I know. That's a good key point, though. Persistence pays off. John Long: Right. Natasha Haynes: It does. John Long: I guarantee it does. Natasha Haynes: It will pay off. John Long: I guarantee it does. Natasha Haynes: And I bet y'all probably make Purple Cows for your anniversary, don't you? Cobie Rutherford: No, we don't. I don't think she really liked that recipe for some reason. I've asked her to make one before and she just won't oblige. Natasha Haynes: That's no fun. John Long: How do you make purple ice cream? Cobie Rutherford: She did it with Kool-Aid and I don't know what else she put in it. Natasha Haynes: Maybe a juice, I think. I know there's a fun punch that's called a Purple Cow, and it's got grape juice and ice cream and other things in it. It's kind of like a float. John Long: Float. That's what I was thinking. Yeah, and it's kind of light. Or not light but kind of foamy. Natasha Haynes: Mm-hmm (affirmative). More like a float. John Long: Yeah, kind of. Natasha Haynes: Foamy at the top. Cobie Rutherford: So, Natasha, I know that you helped with the contest at the Project Achievement Day, can you tell us a little bit about those contests? Natasha Haynes: I have helped in the past with the food and nutrition, visual presentation contest, and then in the afternoon I'm helped with food and nutrition judging contests. So, the food and nutrition visual presentation, I always enjoy that because kids come up with great topics. I think this year we had a person talk about okra, which I thought that was totally different. But usually there is a presentation. They stand, they give a PowerPoint or there's a visual. And I just think they have so many wonderful topics. Natasha Haynes: And then in the afternoon we have of course the judging contest. And in that we'll have them to identify different types of kitchen equipment as far as how to learn how to measure properly, if they're doing those techniques. And then we may even have a few menus to kind of see where their knowledge is as far as can they judge a menu from the standpoint of is it a good menu, is it a okay menu, or is it the best menu to make for your family? So we do a variety of things in the judging contest. Cobie Rutherford: That's an incredible skill for a kid to learn about the balanced diet, and being able to pick foods that kind of go together and stuff. I think that that's something that I'm not good at myself. I might make a meal that has four starches in it and be perfectly fine, but my wife's like, "Well, where's the vegetables?" Natasha Haynes: No. You have got to have a variety. And we do a Kids In The Kitchen in the summer time. A lot of extension offices provide that. And I think that's one way where we teach the kids about just how to have variety in your menu, and just showing them the skills of being in the kitchen, kitchen safety, how to use equipment. So that's a fun thing to do. John Long: I'm glad that you talked about the contest, because I've never ... The visual presentations, obviously. I'm like you, I'm always impressed with the visual presentations, but I didn't know about the judging. That's really cool. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah, I didn't know about that either. I knew that we had the contest, and we had different levels to it, but, I think, when we go to Project Achievement Day in Congress, we're always running around. John Long: Right. Natasha Haynes: I don't get a chance to see the contest. Y'all are so busy. John Long: No, we don't. Cobie Rutherford: We don't get to see them. John Long: Unless we just so happened to be. Cobie Rutherford: Yeah. Natasha Haynes: Yeah. Cobie Rutherford: So I think that's pretty cool. I think that menu part really intrigues me. So, do you give them a restaurant menu, too, sometimes and let them look at that? Natasha Haynes: It will vary depending on what level they're on, but we usually will do a home menu where someone was cooking and perhaps they had too much of, say, too many starchy items. Or we may say here's two fast food menus, can you make a meal out of one of the menus? So it varies. John Long: Yeah. That's cool. Cobie Rutherford: That is cool. I know a lot of schools are dropping their family consumer science programs. I know in my hometown, where I grew up in North Alabama, our school dropped theirs. Do you see Extension in 4-H kind of fill in that void that some of those kids might be missing out with that FACS Ed used to reach? Natasha Haynes: Yes, I think so, because when you think about family, consumer science, we provide programs in food and nutrition, child development, money management. Those are all life skills that everyone needs. That's for male or female. That's across the board. So, I think a lot of times when people hear family consumer science, they're thinking it's only for the girls, but it's definitely something that all kids can participate in. Cobie Rutherford: I think that's so important, too. When I was in high school ... So I was a seventh grader and they made all the boys take Ag and all the young ladies take Natasha Haynes: Home Ec. Cobie Rutherford: ... Home Ec. And I always thought, I was so jealous of the girls in Home Ec, because they were doing things like Natasha Haynes: Cooking. Cobie Rutherford: ... cooking and- John Long: Going back to food. Natasha Haynes: Yeah. Cobie Rutherford: Going back to food. Natasha Haynes: Going back to food. Cobie Rutherford: And they'd be sitting out on the patio eating what they'd made for the day, and they weren't willing to share with us most of the time. Natasha Haynes: And then, see, I thought the opposite. I was kind jealous because I was like, the boys out there in shop, they're making stuff, all kinds of wood equipment. And so, I was thinking, who wants to be in the kitchen cooking when you can make something like a wood equipment. John Long: I saw an episode of Petticoat Junction. I don't know if y'all know what I'm talking about, but it was an old show back in the day. And they had a Home Ec class they were showing then, and I told my daughter, and I said, "They used to have a Home Ec course that they were teaching young ladies how to cook at that time." Times have changed for sure. It's not the way that that it happens now. So a lot of that education is being missed. Natasha Haynes: It's gone. Mm-hmm (affirmative). In my Home Ec class we had to plan a wedding. John Long: Did you really? Natasha Haynes: From beginning to end. John Long: Wow. Natasha Haynes: We had to have a whole notebook to show everything from your engagement all the way down to the dress you were wearing, the reception. John Long: Really? Natasha Haynes: You had a budget, you had to show how much money you were spending on the wedding. John Long: Wow. Natasha Haynes: It was really in depth. John Long: I did not know that they did that. Cobie Rutherford: In our economics class in high school we had to pretend we were a family, and the teacher matched us up with ... I was matched up with one of my friends, Amy, and- Natasha Haynes: Did you have a baby? Cobie Rutherford: We had a baby. Natasha Haynes: Did y'all have the egg? Cobie Rutherford: Yep. John Long: Oh, yeah. Natasha Haynes: We had the egg. We did that. John Long: You had to take care of the egg. Natasha Haynes: Yeah. And then did she follow you around? Did the teacher follow you around, and make sure you had the egg? Because I know a lot of my friends were putting them in the locker. John Long: Oh, really? Natasha Haynes: And then the teacher was like, "You're killing the child." So, you had to keep the baby, I think, what was it? A week? I know- Cobie Rutherford: No. John Long: Yeah. Cobie Rutherford: We didn't have to get that in depth. Natasha Haynes: Yeah, we had to take it everywhere, and then you had to have a journal to show when the baby was sleeping, what did you do after school with the child. We had to write down so much about it. Cobie Rutherford: That is intense. John Long: It sounds like fun. Natasha Haynes: It was fun, but you know- John Long: Toting an egg around. Natasha Haynes: Around day three you're tired of this egg. You're kind of like, let's just drop it and move on. John Long: Okay. He wants scrambled eggs or fried. Natasha Haynes: Right. That's pretty much how you felt by day three. John Long: Yeah. Cobie Rutherford: Can I drop this egg and still have to be in the class. Natasha Haynes: Right. John Long: Yeah, right. Right, exactly. Natasha Haynes: Right. Hey, what happens if the egg is cracked? John Long: Right, right. There's all these different ways to play it, I guess. Natasha Haynes: Well, and now in Family Consumer Science classes, they have dolls. John Long: Yeah, right. Natasha Haynes: Have y'all seen those? John Long: Oh, yeah. Natasha Haynes: They're really cool, too, because they can program them to cry at different times, and they're just not happy. So, I think that's neat. John Long: I saw that on a TV show one time. They had one and this girl, boy, she got irate having to get up in the middle of the night and make it stop crying. Natasha Haynes: But I mean, that's a great way to teach kids about what John Long: Yeah, I guarantee it is. Natasha Haynes: ... it means to be a parent. John Long: That's right. Cobie Rutherford: That's true. John Long: That's life. Natasha Haynes: That's true life. John Long: That is life. Natasha Haynes: Nobody wants to get up at 2:00 in the morning with a baby, but if you're a parent you get up because you love that baby. John Long: That's exactly right. Cobie Rutherford: That's funny. John Long: So talking about meal planning, clarify me on this, because I know that there used to be a food pyramid. Natasha Haynes: There is now a plate. John Long: Plate. Natasha Haynes: It's called Choose My Plate. John Long: Yeah, how does that work? Natasha Haynes: So just think about a plate in your mind. It's round and divided into fours. So then that's pretty much your four food groups with the exception of dairy is on the outside of the plate. So now you've got grains, you have fruits, vegetables, protein, which is, of course, mainly your meat, but it could be something like eggs or peanuts. And then your grains are more your complex carbohydrates like rice, pasta, tortillas, those things fit in that group. And then on the outside of the plate now is a cup and that represents dairy. So that of course would be your milk or cheese group. John Long: Right. I had found that when counting calories, and especially with these apps that we have now, if you go to look at the breakdown of carbs, of course, your carbs are going to be a little bit more, and then the fats and the proteins, it's really hard to eat a low carb or lower carb. It seems like you just get a lot of ... Especially from stuff I eat, I guess, but it's either a large amount of carbs or a large amount of fats, and it's hard to get the protein. Natasha Haynes: Well, what I try to tell people is, remember this, that everything in moderation. So I think a lot of times we get kind of hung up on, should I eat this? Should I not eat that? But it's all in moderation. You're trying to eat the the plate as often as possible, which is 2000 calories or less. It depends on where you are as far as fitness, your age, your sex, all those things are going to determine how many calories you really need. John Long: Right. Natasha Haynes: So I would just tell people to really just pay more attention to getting all of the fruits and vegetables and everything that's on the plate. John Long: Right. And I told somebody, I said, like you said, in moderation, that it's okay to eat the fries. I'll just use it as an example. Maybe not all right to eat the fries, but you don't have to eat the whole serving of it. Natasha Haynes: Or get the kid's size. John Long: Right. Natasha Haynes: You don't have to get the super-size. John Long: Right, exactly. Natasha Haynes: A lot of times- John Long: It's so tempting, too, though. Natasha Haynes: It is tempting, because when you're going through the drive through, and they say, "Hey, it's 39 cents." And you say, "What? Sure. 39 more cents, yeah, I can super-size. Yeah." John Long: Why not? Natasha Haynes: But that pays off in the end. 39 cents today is 15 pounds later. John Long: Right, exactly. Exactly. Natasha Haynes: Is it worth that? No. John Long: Right, no. Natasha Haynes: No. Cobie Rutherford: Crazy how those things add up. Natasha Haynes: They do. John Long: Real quick. Natasha Haynes: All in moderation. John Long: And the way they're putting the calories on everything now that you read. Natasha Haynes: And there's a new label coming out. John Long: Oh, really? Natasha Haynes: It is, and it's going to be broken down more into what a true portion size is. So that will help, because I think a lot of times when people read the label now they're kind of confused as far as what's a portion? John Long: Right. Natasha Haynes: What's a true serving size. John Long: Right, right. Natasha Haynes: So that will help, and it will highlight fat and sugar and sodium. John Long: So when is that coming out? Natasha Haynes: I think it's going to come out completely 2020, but you should see it now. I've seen it on several different foods already slowly making a move. But I think 2020, it has to be completely on everything. John Long: What prompted that? Natasha Haynes: I think just the fact that we're just realizing that Americans, we need to pay more attention to how to eat better. John Long: Right. Natasha Haynes: We're always tweaking things to learn more and do better. John Long: That's right. That's exactly right. Yeah, I guess the way we ate before is not the way we should eat now, right? I mean, back in the day everybody was eating fried food and not worried about it as much [crosstalk 00:21:38]. Natasha Haynes: Well, that's true, but something that I tell people all the time whenever I'm doing a food program is people always say, "I remember we left food out all day long, and it wasn't a problem." Well, food is different now. Our bodies are different now, so we have to change to fit that, and that's something that we all have to do. John Long: Right. That's exactly right. Cobie Rutherford: It's good advice. John Long: That's a good take home message right there. Cobie Rutherford: It sure is. John Long: For sure. Well, I have really, thoroughly enjoyed our conversation this afternoon, Natasha. And let me just say this, I have to say this about Natasha, she has the most infectious smile. Natasha Haynes: Thank you. John Long: I always love talking with her, and she always makes me feel like I'm having a great day when I've been around her. Natasha Haynes: Thank you, thank you. John Long: I'm not saying that just because you're here. Natasha Haynes: I appreciate that. Thank you. John Long: But it's true. I've always wanted to tell you that. Natasha Haynes: Thank you. John Long: But anyway- Natasha Haynes: I'm going to give you a air hug. John Long: We're getting an air hug over the radio. Natasha Haynes: Getting an air hug. John Long: Yeah. So, with that we're going to get ... And Natasha, do you have any media such as webpage or anything that you would like to plug while we're here? Do you have anywhere we can go to get more information on Food Factor or where that is and- Natasha Haynes: Please like our Food Factor page. It is @foodfactorms, and then that is also on Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube. John Long: She is all over the social media. Cobie Rutherford: That's right. Natasha Haynes: Yes. John Long: Yeah, she is a celebrity. Get her autograph. John Long: Well, with that, too, is we'll also plug and say please like our 4H4U2 podcast, and subscribe, and tell everybody you know about it. And Cobie, where can we go get more information about Extension in our Extinction and 4-H in the particular counties of our state? Cobie Rutherford: So you can find out more about Extension or the 4H program by visiting your local county Extension Office or visiting us on the web at extension.msstate.edu. John Long: And with that, we're going to wrap up this section, and hope you enjoyed it, and we will be talking to you next time. Have a great day. Announcer: Thanks for joining us for 4H4U2.

Secret Menus For Pooches It turns out that many well-known restaurants have secret menus that cater to your pooch. You do need to make sure that your pet can handle some human-ish food before you order. For example, Starbucks will serve up a Puppuccinno. It's a small cup filled with whipped cream. Dairy Queen's Pup Cup is a little bit of vanilla soft serve, topped with a dog treat. If you're on the West Coast, there's In-N-Out where you can order a Pup Patty. More this week

Dave and Alonso are rendered almost speechless by the cruddiness of most of this week's movies, all the better to leave time to talk about lady doctors, Swinging London, and the intricacies of the "Petticoat Junction" theme song.

Doc spends the rest of the podcast trying to tell the story of a thread he started on Fine Scale Modelers forum when he lets leak that he was in the drama club, back in his highschool theater days, with Jm J Bullock. Of course Sam can't let him finish without geting all of the pent up Bullocks out. Thats right...Doc shared a stage (at the very least) with Jm J Bullock. Call the comment line (206) 309-7308.
