This campaign reminds all drivers and passengers that seat belts save lives. Law enforcement will be increasing visibility and enforcement efforts to encourage compliance, educate the public, and reinforce safe driving habits.

We started with the Knicks 22 point comeback win over the Cavs to take game 1. Last night the Garden was the way Boomer remembers it as a kid.
Jim and John tackle the Season 24 finale and the show's 150th story, featuring Bonnie Langford's abrupt departure, Sophie Aldred's introduction as Ace, the return of Sabalom Glitz, and one of the most infamous cliffhangers in Doctor Who history. Jim struggles to find redeeming qualities in a season he considers possibly the worst in Classic Who, while production issues and budget constraints become increasingly evident. The 150th Story Milestone: Written by Ian Briggs (who will later write fan-favorite "The Curse of Fenric"), directed by Chris Clough (completing his second "last two stories of a season" after Trial of a Time Lord). Originally pitched as story about an intergalactic shopping center owner wanting the TARDIS for the ultimate shopping experience. The BBC counted Trial of a Time Lord as one story arc, so technically this should be story 153. Andrew Cartmell brought writers into his office for collaborative discussion—closest thing to a "writer's room" Doctor Who ever had. Cartmell considered this the best story of Season 24, which Jim finds bewildering given his own assessment of the season. The Infamous Umbrella Cliffhanger: Everybody fixates on McCoy lowering himself over a parapet by his umbrella, stopping mid-descent and hanging there looking confused. The scene has become legendary for all the wrong reasons—why did he do it in the first place when he wasn't trapped? According to Briggs, the script called for the Doctor to lower himself because he was trapped with nowhere to go, and the actual cliffhanger was supposed to be the dragon appearing. The awkward execution wasn't the writer's fault. Director and production team share blame for one of the series' most criticized moments. Sophie Aldred as Ace: Cast at age 26 to play 16-year-old Ace (10 years younger than her actual age—more than Burt Ward's 6-year gap playing Robin). Actually two years older than Bonnie Langford despite playing significantly younger. Sophie auditioned for Ray in "Delta and the Bannermen" but didn't get it—worked in her favor as Ace became iconic. Character is human from late 20th century Earth who arrived on Iceworld when chemistry experiment triggered time storm in her bedroom. Uses homemade explosive "Nitro-9" and shouts "Ace!" frequently (which doesn't work for Jim). Calls the Doctor "Professor" which he tries to discourage. John admits he initially hated Ace in this story—found her annoying and grumpy, a "miserable brat." But promises a "Richter scale" shift in appreciation with the next story, suggesting maturation between seasons and genuine chemistry developing with McCoy that was absent with Mel. Bonnie Langford's Awkward Exit: Mel's departure makes no narrative sense—no setup, no telegraphing, completely out of nowhere. She suddenly decides to stay with Glitz to "keep him out of trouble" with zero romantic hints or friendship development to justify it. The farewell scene wasn't written by Briggs—it was McCoy's audition piece that he loved so much he convinced Cartmell to insert it into the script. Both later regretted this decision. Briggs washes his hands of it: "I didn't write that." Bonnie had to act opposite her replacement throughout, standing back while production sells Sophie/Ace hard, often getting relegated to the background. Classic Who pattern of treating departing companions poorly. Jim notes tiny bit of charm finally emerging between McCoy and Bonnie right at the very end—too little, too late. Bonnie's Post-Who Career: Didn't get the serious acting career she hoped Doctor Who would provide. Continued successful musical theater and light entertainment work but remained the butt of jokes for years—including a 1990s condom commercial depicting her parents with slogan "if only they'd used a condom." Public perception shifted when she appeared on "Strictly Come Dancing" (British dance competition) alongside John Barrowman. Fans hoped for Doctor Who face-off but she was injured during rehearsal and had to withdraw; Barrowman voted out shortly after. Her bravery with the injury softened public opinion—now considered a "national treasure" in Britain. This is why she was brought back for New Who, not just fan service. The Glitz Problem: Tony Selby returns as Sabalom Glitz—JNT read the script, liked having Tony Selby (who was "hot" at the time appearing on other British TV), and suggested using Glitz instead of similar character. Glitz owns the Nosferatu (referenced in Trial of a Time Lord). Jim couldn't stand Glitz's hair. Compares him to Star Trek's Cyrano Jones/Harry Mudd. Softened for this story, lost whatever bite he had before. No chemistry with anyone—not Ace, not the Doctor. Tony Selby passed away in 2021 at age 83. In New Who, Mel references traveling with "Sabalom Glitz" until he was 107, slipped on a bottle, cracked his head and died. She returned to Earth by "hopping on a Zingo" (running joke—no one knows what a Zingo is). Kane and the Ice World Setting: Edward Peel plays Kane, the villain who controls Iceworld trading colony on dark side of planet Svartos. His touch is so cold it can kill. Marks employees with his symbol iced into their flesh. Basically "Mr. Freeze redux" per Jim. Kane is half of Kane-Xana criminal gang from planet Proamon. Xana killed herself to avoid arrest; Kane was exiled to cold dark side of Svartos. Iceworld is actually a spacecraft—the "treasure" is a crystal that activates the ship to end his exile. Kane's head-melting death scene well-executed (reminds Jim of Star Trek TNG's "Conspiracy" but actually inspired by Toht/Belloq melting in Raiders of the Lost Ark). Jim wishes they'd lingered on the effect a second or two longer—it was actually done well. Patricia Quinn as Belazs: The only character Jim cared about in Part One. Reminded him strongly of Glynis Johns. Plays officer who realizes Kane won't release her, tries to escape, attempts to overthrow Kane by raising temperature in his chambers. Patricia Quinn interviewed on Blu-ray—now a British Duchess with purple hair, incredibly eccentric despite aristocratic status. Behind the Sofa caught her looking off-camera for cue cards "like a Saturday Night Live skit." Belazs killed by Kane, goes out "like a chump" when Jim thought she deserved to be the one to dispatch Kane. New lackeys introduced in Part 3 waste screen time that could have developed her character better. The Derivative Dragon: Jim catalogs extensive borrowing from other sci-fi properties: Dragon is blatant Alien/Aliens ripoff—H.R. Giger's xenomorph design copied almost exactly (long thin arms, fingers, back protrusions, head shape like Alien Queen) Described as "biomechanoid" (Giger's biomechanical design philosophy) Superman Fortress of Solitude hologram crystal stolen wholesale—hologram woman appears to conveniently explain backstory exactly like Lex Luthor scene in Superman II Alien tracker guns copied from Aliens (complete with "it should be right on us" suspense) Zombies added to cliché pile Jim notes the show stopped ripping off Star Wars and moved on to Alien franchise and Superman movies. This is "perhaps never more" derivative than in this story. Production and Budget Collapse: "Batman Season 3 worthy sets"—budget clearly ran out by season's end. Station sets not impressive, doesn't sell the Ice World concept. Model of planet surface done well, but interior sets very lacking. Shot brightest possible lights, no atmosphere or mystery. Dragon walks around "like a costume character at Disney World." Almost entirely studio-bound with minimal location work. Cliffhanger at end of Part 2 "one of the most horribly dull ever"—Kane just declares "the dragonfire shall be mine" with no tension whatsoever. The McCoy Problem Continues: Jim still doesn't know who McCoy's Doctor is. An engaging Doctor can carry even poor stories (citing Colin Baker), but McCoy isn't doing that. Not a force within the show, just reacting. Both McCoy and Mel "treading water" all season. This is McCoy's "freshman year" but with a producer trying to rebuild without reaching out to anything—soft reboot that plays it safe with half the budget. Jim sees all the tropes and clichés but not innovation. Brief moment of crankiness when McCoy yells "SILENCE!" at the girls—is this the temperamental side promised? Tiny bit of charm emerges at very end with Mel but too late. No chemistry with Bonnie throughout until final seconds. John's thesis: "These three seasons walked so New Who could run." Season 24 feels like desperate attempt to make it a kids' show again but dumbing it down ("Uncle Miltie's Carnival of Fun"). Philosophy discussion scene interesting but "puts everyone in the audience asleep." Cast Notes: Tony Osoba (Kracauer) played Lan in "Destiny of the Daleks," returns in New Who episode "Kill the Moon" Sharon Duce (customer with milkshake dumped on her) was the camper killed by Ogri in "Stones of Blood" (the scene that scandalized Jim and John for depicting unmarried relations) Little girl Stellar played by Miranda Borman—wearing a dress Bonnie Langford wore at that age for a role. Hosts wonder if this was a stage mother situation Large cast overall—perhaps one of the largest in Doctor Who history The Cartmell Philosophy: Andrew Cartmell doesn't like interior TARDIS scenes, so "we're not gonna see the console room much moving forward." Jim outraged: "That's inane... good writing doesn't drag a scene down." Lost opportunities for insightful TARDIS interactions between Doctor and companions. Fandom Division: By end of Season 24, fandom most divided over show's direction. Fanzine DWB went on crusade to get JNT sacked—he considered suing but BBC told him to leave it. BBC willing to let him go after 25th season (which he wanted to see through) but he stayed on longer than that. Jim's Season Assessment: Can't think of another time the show has felt this low overall. Rough, a slog. Still not sure who McCoy is as a Doctor. Compares unfavorably to Colin Baker era—at least Colin was consistent and worth watching even in poor stories. Sees Season 24 as show desperately wanting spunky girl companion (keeps trying over and over) but not knowing what to do with them when they get one (Mel being prime example). Both agree it's not a good way to end the season. Coming Up Next: Patreon Exclusive 170: Music selection, Season 24 retrospective, at least one Season 25 spoiler for Jim, comic strip reviews of "Redemption" and "The Crossroads of Time" (both one-parters), and Memory TARDIS wheel spin. Hiatus Special (Patreon early): "Wartime" shorts featuring the return of Sergeant Benton with the interesting behind-the-scenes story of how this fan production came to be (approximately 30-35 minutes). (Main feed) BBC audio drama "Slipback" with Colin Baker and Nicola Bryant.

Greetings, bonjour, what's happening?Welcome to Lager Time.This weeks episode features the second chapter of Way of the Kip - a short story about a frustrated young mans quest to find a decent nights sleep, tired of course, only to be told there is staff training about biases. A bit of a touch for young Reece.We left him just as the training was getting into nitty-the his gritty, having heared from collegue Bianca, who announced she had a great nights sleep. Reece is desperate to learn her ways, stay awake and not say anything stupid during the training. Story below - if you're listening to the audio of this cree.substack.com to see the wordsFor more Reece and New Town capers have a listen to a series I did a few years back called Young UnProfessional If you enjoy this, please consider subscribing in whichever medium you prefer. It all helps.Little music update - my latest rap EP - More 64s of Boredom - is almost done. Just need to mix the final two tracks then we're good to go. About flipping time.That's it for nowKeep it Big out there, enjoy your weekendsPaulWay of the Kip: A New Town StoryCHAPTER 2The dryness had come early. The first power point slide had nine bullet-points and only one picture. Some generic stock photo of a young East-Asian looking guy in a white shirt, sat in a chair in an office, being spoke to by an older white guy: arms-crossed, stood up, wearing a suit, no tie, top button undone. No sound or animation effects on the slides, what a waste.‘So what do you see when see you this picture? Let's discuss'My mind had become fixated on this sleep conundrum. The mug-off from Priah. The tiredness. Bianca's radiance. Diane's bum. Boring Keith clapping. It was all related somehow.I was twiddling the biro in my hand, slumped in my chair. Had the thought that If I was to take the actual pen bit out from inside the plastic casing, then stick the casing in my mouth, like a blow-dart, with the other end in Bianca's ear, I could siphon out some of her sleep powers. Short-term fix though. I'd probably end up sucking out four, maybe five, of her six braincells, then I'd be stuck in some endless loop of reality TV gossip and a montage of dull holiday photos.‘The older man is probably is using the stereotype of Asian's being good with computers, to get his computer to work, because he's old and probably a bit racist, and doesn't know to get on the internet.'‘Ok, thanks, Shaz is it? Yep, ok, that's certainly a racial stereotype that many people of East Asian descent have to suffer with.'‘Don't forget Kung-Fu and that. That's a stereotype those lot have to face as well.'‘Thank you, erm….Pete?'‘Pete, yea.'‘Ok thanks, Pete, so what else do we see?'Pete was trying. I had to chuckle. Priah gave me the side-eye and I heard Shazz tut. Probably thinking I was laughing with Pete. This annoyed me a bit. Shaz could be like that. Very judgemental. She once accused me of spilling a load of coffee in the kitchen. I don't drink coffee. But then something awakened in me. This urge to speak, I had to get it out, there and then.‘Wait. What about the old guy, though?' I asked.‘What do you mean, Reece? Explain for us.'‘Well, Shaz there has mentioned the possible stereotyping of the young man, presumably of East Asian descent, being good with computers. Fair enough, but what about Shaz's stereotype of old people not knowing how to use technology? You never know, the old boy might be a tech-whizz. Maybe he's the IT guy and the other guy is asking for his help.'Shaz was screwing me. Bianca was backing her up. What? I thought it was a good point. Maybe I'd Just uncovered Shaz's bias. ‘Ave that Shaz. You can't fight bigotry with bigotry. As for you Bianca; lie down before you hurst yourself, maybe you can have a lovely restorative sleep whilst you're there.‘That's a valid point, Reece. Stereotypes come in many forms.'BOSH. That's right. Thanks Monique. I was enjoying the validation. She continued.‘So what do you think is going on in this picture? Tell us what you think, Reece.'Silence. Shaz raised an eyebrow. Bianca smirked, Boring Keith placed his pen on the desk and smirked. Pete was miming a shovel digging into the ground, whilst smirking. Priah was writing something but shook her head. Everyone else was just looking at me, smirking.‘I dunno. It could be anything. Maybe that guy sat down, like… owed the other guy a tenner… and now the Old Boy's calling it in, but the other guy's like… Oh I'll pay you next week bruv…. but the old guys not having it because he'd already owed money from when they went on a bender the week before… but that night the Old Boy got a bit larey with the bouncers outside a club, he'd had a bit too much of the marching powder, so the guy sitting down had to intervene and maybe got slapped a bit, so then they both got barred from that club, because the old boy was giving it the big one…. but the guy sitting down is annoyed because he was moving to this girl in there that he really liked and like…'‘Reece stop it, you're being insensitive, this is a serious discussion'Pariah, again. What did I do?‘But it could be anything though, that's my point.' I said‘Just shutup Reece.' Shaz intervenes.‘But I was…'That told me then. Shaz, 1-1. I'll give her that. Monique came to my rescue and then threw me under the bus. Created an unnecessary problem then solved it. She should be a politician. Monique for PM, the Essential Skills Party. The ESP.‘Ok thanks, err.. Reece… yes, you're right it really could be anything. But not everyone is going to instantly think along the lines of what you just said, as you've had time to think about it.No I didn't, I made it up on the spot, which I didn't say.‘Often, our judgements come from the unconscious, as opposed to the conscious, ultimately it speaks to our internal bias's which we're looking to interrogate here.'The unconscious? Like un-concise-ness? Isn't that a deep state of sleep? Why is she teasing me like this? I could do with some of that right now, what does that make me? Biased? Bigoted? Monique continued.‘… But it's interesting that you made the East Asian man, the one that owed the money, in this scenario, to the older white man…. what do you think that says?, Reece'She must think I like it under the bus, where's my greasy overalls? Priah turned her head to me. I just shrugged my shoulders in defeat. Must be biased.‘I don't know.' I said.Fortunately Monique spared my blushes and moved it on. She went into some segment about the different forms of discrimination and provided a few examples where it had been prominent in the culture, like minstrel shows. Reminded me of my Nan having those figurines on the wall, above the telly. So my Grandparents were bigots, then? Too much Bovril in the fifties, unsalted gammon and mash potato. Classic bigot.In what was an exhaustive power-point slide, with no sound effects or animations, which included all sorts of TV and film references, I was disappointed that Blue Peter didn't come up. Not that I thought that show was harbouring deep-rooted prejudices, I just felt like I needed a decent excuse for the irrational resentment I've always felt towards that melt-parade, it's jarring presenters and their impossible to make DIY stuff – Tracey Island can be devastated by an earthquake for all I care. As if all you ever needed was a Corn Flakes packet, some Sellotape and a few felt-tips. Yea and the rest. It kept me awake at night. Like everything else.As the session wore on, all I could think about was sleep. And Blue Peter. And not making a plank out of myself in staff training sessions. Solving this sleep issue. Bianca's great sleep. I had to talk to Bianca. Find out what her secrets were. I really needed a kip. If I could just have one decent kip. No, wait, learn the secrets of good kip technique. The way of the kip, like some Kung Fu film. That's it, that's the one.So long as I wasn't sleeping well, the world was a worse place, full of bias swimming around, in like bile and brine and brandy. The soup of bias. Sounded like something from a French restaurant menu. Probably my unconscious talking there, again. Bigot.During the last part of the training, we all had to go round and say one thing that we were going to take away with us. Most people said more or the less the same thing – being more conscious of the unconscious biases that possibly allegedly affected their decisions. Guaranteed Pete would have a new batch of sexist jokes come Friday. Bianca said she'd be examining her thinking from now on. I was curious to know how her bigoted subconscious affected her choice of yogurt, or which dull sun destination she should go on holiday too. I gave it a bit of thought and concurred.‘Yea, it's given me lots to think about.' I said.Like how to get a decent kip. I should've said ‘I'd sleep on it.' Missed opportunity. To be fair, there probably was something in it all. We're all a bit bigoted or have our biases, I guess. I still thought I was right to waive that that throw-in Gary's game. That football pitch was a good fifteen-minute bop from my gaff. And it was raining.Back at my desk, I decided that I had resolve this sleep issue. There had to be some magic formula out there that I wasn't aware of. I made it my mission to find some sort of cure that would lead me to sleep enlightenment. Or at least a decent eight hours. In my mind, this was starting to play-out like some Kung-Fu adventure film, where a warrior has to go on this quest to find some source of ancient Kung-Fu wisdom, kip wisdom, so they can learn from the Kung-Fu Kip master. A shadowy, wise figure has to point them on the quest though. The way of the kip. Suddenly the picture of the east Asian guy from the training session popped into my head. I even heard the sound of a gong type thing. PSWSHYYYYYYY. Wait, was that my Bias talking? Why did the stock-photo of the East Asian guy pop in my head? Am I stereotyping? Am I bigot? Whatever. My first task, was to speak to Brianca, my Kung Fu Kip master, find out what she was on. Bianca could lead me to sleep Nirvana, so for the next hour or so, I kept on eye on the kitchen and bided my time. This is a public episode.

Sam Amick wrote prior to Stephen Curry's return to the court on Sunday that the notion of the Warriors shutting down their all-time great for the season was outright silly. He joined Silver & Krueg to explain how much validation he felt watching Curry's return, in which he scored 29 points in 26 minutes off the bench. Despite the end result, Curry's presence injected an energy back into the team that had been absent since January 30th and may have sent an important message to his owner, general manager, and head coach for this offseason.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

1. Moses. Charlton Heston. The Ten Commandments. 603 other commandments. Mount Sinai. The Passover lamb. Many sacrifices. Works. Hearing and doing. Sins temporarily covered. Reminded of sins. 2. Jesus. The Lamb of God. Grace. The gift of salvation and righteousness. Faith. One sacrifice. Easter. The Resurrection. The Holy Spirit. Eternal forgiveness. Sins taken away. Sins remembered no more. The above is a nutshell version relating some headlines to two very different covenants. How is it that the church culture has embraced combining various portions of these covenants that were never meant to be mingled? Perhaps it's because the Bible is often considered "one book," or wrongly assuming the New was meant to be some type of addendum to the Old. Let's take a look at how badly the target has been missed with such a mixture of law and grace. God's grace (apart from law) is the recipe for us to reign in life and teaches us to deny ungodliness ... not advocating for an old or revamped law that was fulfilled and abolished by Jesus. "For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace." --Available on Amazon - "Clash of The Covenants: Escaping Religious Bondage Through the Grace Guarantee" https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0713ZSKY7
Some days on the show just feel good from the first minute… and this was one of them. I kicked off rocking my "Attitude is Everything" mug, reminding myself—and all of you—that good energy is a choice! And on Wellness Wednesday, I'm all about finding ways for us all to feel more alive, more connected, and honestly… more joyful. And guess what? Science says I'm onto something. The Science of Laughter (Yes, It's a Real Thing!) Came upon a story about—the science behind why we laugh. Turns out… laughter isn't just about something being funny. It's actually: A bonding signal A social connector A built-in way to reduce tension and build trust Basically… if you laugh with someone, you're already halfway to a wonderful connection. I've used humor in business my whole life. It disarms people, breaks tension, and creates connection FAST. Let's just say… if you don't have a sense of humor, we're probably not hanging out anytime soon. My "Secret" Project Revealed: Alert Pop™ Okay… BIG moment. I finally shared something I've been working on behind the scenes for almost a year with an amazing entrepreneur and inventor with comparable energy to mine who really sparked me. We met blindly on LinkedIn over a year and a half ago when he randomly connected with me and we just clicked, and our mutually respectful and exciting 'balance of talents' partnership just took off. I will introduce you all to him personally in a moment but first…. Meet: Alert Pop™ It's a sugar-free caffeinated lollipop (yes, you read that right) invented to help combat drowsy driving—but it's turning into so much more. It's not only a product with a purpose but it's an innovative 'better for you' energy option when you need a 'little lift' to focus that has everybody and their mother interested in it. Honestly, it's one of the most exciting products I've ever worked on. I am a Founding Partner and I sense by the non-stop inquiries and high level of interest from retailers, that this product looks like it's going to be a HUGE winner. Here's why else I'm excited: The Alert Pop™ lollipops are sugar free Each pop = about ½ cup of coffee They're made with organic green tea caffeine No jitters, no crash Three Flavors: Espresso / Blue Raspberry/ Watermelon And honestly… they taste great. My Real-life Alert Pop Moment: I was sitting in my car around dinner time in the dark, in the supermarket parking lot wrapping up a slew of emails and texts on my iPhone trying to get the energy to get out of my car - to go food shopping. I was tired and wishing I had a cup of coffee. Aha! I remembered I had Alert Pop™ samples in the car. I honestly laughed to myself sitting there, as I tore open my espresso lollipop hoping it was my solution. Sure enough, it did the trick. Up. Moving. Food shopping. Back in action. Lol The Story Behind Alert Pop™ (This One Matters) I brought on Alert Pop™ inventor and serial entrepreneur Stephen Caldwell to introduce him to you all so together we could share the back story behind his invention. Stephen was on a family vacation with his college age daughters when one told him about her close college pal who fell asleep at the wheel after working and studying nonstop. Totaled his car. Walked away—but it could've been very different. Horrible story that stuck with Stephen. It could have been his own daughter. Could have been him. Could have been anyone. Stephen woke up in the middle of the night on vacation and wrote down "Alert Pop™". Here's the reality: 1 in 25 drivers admits to falling asleep at the wheel Let that sink in. So, this isn't just a product—it's a purpose-driven innovation. Stephen has a background in creating and manufacturing food products, so he knew he could bring this product to life. And he did! Now almost one year later Alert Pop™ has launched. And lucky me … I'm honored to work side by side with Stephen as Founding Partner to get this amazing product out into the universe. Listen in as we both share what's been going on behind the scenes with Alert Pop™ leading up to now - and what's ahead! Teeth, Humor & "Life Happens" Moments Because no Debbie show is complete without a little real life… I shared my ongoing dental saga (thank you, chemo side effects ), including: Test driving my "new teeth" while my dentist is on vacation Wondering if I looked like the Easter Bunny And laughing through it anyway because what else can I do? I mentioned a relevant humorous story proving I don't own the 'dental mental' market. Seems a poor gorgeous beauty pageant contestant had her veneers fell out mid-speech… …and she calmly popped them back in and kept going. THAT, my friends, is resilience with style! Gotta love her. Like I always say "Attitude is Everything!" Get Outside—It Changes Everything One of my biggest Keeping the "Live" in Alive! habits? Get outside. I've officially become… wait for it… a tree hugger Not kidding: Flowers pushing through the dirt Buds forming on trees Ducks back on the water It's like nature whispering: "Hey… we're back. So are you." And I posted this Italian phrase and some nature photos on my social media that really stuck with me: "Finché c'è vita, c'è speranza." Translated to English… "As long as there is life, there is hope." If you know me you know… I'm a dealer in hope . Best Parks in America (Including One Close to my Home!) Speaking of being outside… I found out Bruce Park in Greenwich; CT is nominated as one of the Best City Parks in the U.S. USA Today is asking for entries from around the U.S. And it got me thinking about all the incredible places where people just… slow down. A few standouts: Balboa Park (San Diego) – 1,200 acres of magic Central Park (NYC) – untouched perfection in chaos Golden Gate Park (San Francisco) Little Island (NYC) – a floating park (!) There's something powerful about a place where: You're allowed to just sit No rushing No pressure We all need more of that. Nigel Barker, Espresso Martinis & a Night to Remember Quick highlight from a fabulous night… I hosted a fireside chat with Nigel Barker at the Townsend Cinema a luxury 40-seat theater inside the Hyatt Regency Greenwich (yes, it's as cool as it sounds). And let me tell you: Nigel talks more than I do (I know… shocking ) His Barker Espresso Martini & Cappuccino Martini? DELICIOUS And the whole experience? Next-level Movies. Martinis. Conversation. Lovely night. Traditions, Memories & My Mom Ridiculous Random Sweet Memory During the commercial break before the end of the show, my engineer Bob out of the blue just randomly handed me my late mother's prayer card. Said he found it in the parking lot—just before it went down a drain. Seriously? Didn't see that coming. Must have fallen out of my car in the radio station parking lot one day. Thought I would share: My mother rides with me on my car visor every day. Easter is coming… and I still haven't made her sweet pies (again ) Reminded me: We all try and carry on family holiday traditions. And 'Italian guilt' is endless. Spring = Comeback Season Here's my theory… People who live through winter? We're built for COMEBACKS. Because when spring hits, we go: Let's bike! Let's walk! Let's clean everything! Let's try pickleball! Let's LIVE! And then… we get exhausted just thinking about it But still… The energy shift is REAL Final Thought: Whatever Turns You On—Do More of That That's the whole point of this show. To spark you to find more: Joy Energy Curiosity Connection New things to try (even ugar free caffeinated lollipops ) Because… "If you've still got a pulse, you've still got a shot!"

Mental performance coaching is changing how athletes and parents think about success in youth sports. In this bonus episode, John Corella and mental performance coach Lisa Mitzel discuss how a healthier youth sports mindset can help young athletes compete with confidence without losing their sense of self. The discussion draws inspiration from Olympic champion Alysa Liu, whose approach to competition highlights the power of present moment performance and emotional awareness. Lisa explains how mental performance coaching helps athletes stay grounded during pressure moments instead of becoming trapped in results, expectations, or fear of mistakes. Alysa Liu's journey illustrates how athletes can perform at the highest level when they trust their instincts, respect their bodies, and remain present during competition. Present moment performance allows athletes to stay connected to what they are doing instead of obsessing over scores, placements, or approval from others. Parents also influence how young athletes experience competition. John and Lisa discuss how family values shape the environment around training and performance. Parents often feel pressure to protect children from disappointment, yet mental performance coaching shows that resilience develops when kids learn to face setbacks with support instead of avoidance. This youth sports mindset encourages patience, accountability, and emotional strength. The conversation also addresses body image and the messages young athletes receive about their bodies in dance and sports. Through sports parenting advice and real examples from training environments, John and Lisa encourage parents to create conversations that help children appreciate their bodies and build confidence from within. Mental performance coaching appears throughout the episode as a framework for helping athletes manage pressure, respond to mistakes, and compete with greater awareness. Parents who want a healthier youth sports mindset will hear practical sports parenting advice that supports both performance and well-being.

The nomination of U.S. Sen. Markwayne Mullin (enrolled member of the Cherokee Nation/R-OK) to become the next Homeland Security Secretary hit a rough patch Wednesday. Outgoing Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem lost the faith of President Donald Trump, but the pick to replace her, Sen. Mullin, lost the faith of the Senate Homeland Security Committee Chair, U.S. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), for mocking him for being attacked by his neighbor nine years ago, as Matt Laslo reports. “You told the media that I was a ‘freaking snake' and that you completely understood why I had been assaulted. I was shocked that you would justify and celebrate this violent assault that caused me so much pain and my family so much pain. I just wonder if someone who applauds violence against their political opponents is the right person to lead an agency that has struggled to accept limits to the proper use of force.” Mullin is a former MMA fighter and was not backing down. “I think before I can start my opening statement, I have to address the remarks of the chairman made calling me a liar. Sir, I think there’s — everybody in this room knows that I’m very blunt and direct to the point, and if I have something to say, I’ll say it directly to your face.” While the heated exchange made national headlines, most Republican senators, like U.S. Sen. Ted. Cruz (R-TX), shrugged it off. “The two of them don’t like each other. There’s no ambiguity on that.” U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) said, “I’m not going to get involved in that.” U.S. Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) told National Native News cited his mother’s wisdom. “Reminded of what my mom would say, ‘if you don’t have something good to say about somebody, don’t say it.’ And, you know, those rules we learned in kindergarten still apply up here as well.” Even Mullin's home state colleague, U.S. Rep. Frank Lucas (R-OK), was taken aback by the barbs. “In my time in Congress, rarely have I seen such an intense exchange between two members of the same party, especially in the [U.S.] Senate. Clearly, both of them are very strong-willed, very confident in their point of view and perspective and their memory. It was just fascinating.” While most Republican senators are refusing to weigh in, Sen. Lucas says he is not discounting Chairman Paul or Mullin's accounts. “I know from having served with Markwayne in the House, I suspect the case in the [U.S.] Senate is the same — members have an insight into the nature of each other that no one on the outside can have. I never impugn the opinions of my colleagues, so maybe there was a little bit of truth in what they both had to say.” (Courtesy Asm. James Ramos / Facebook) Assemblymember James Ramos (Serrano/Cahuilla/D-CA) is urging for the establishment of California Native American Day as an official paid state holiday. A bill introduced by Asm. Ramos would designate the fourth Friday of September as a paid holiday for state employees. Ramos, along with tribal representatives, legislators, and labor leaders, held a press conference Wednesday in Sacramento., Calif. Ramos says the legislature and the state should honor California's First People with the paid holiday. “It’s true and just that this has to happen. It’s time that the voices continue to move forward and to make sure that we’re calling out for respect and honor for California’s First People and tribal elders.” Ramos say they have many worthy holidays, but the bill creates justice for past atrocities toward California Indian people who have lived through colonization, including the mission era and gold rush eras. Denver’s bison transfer included a ceremony with songs and prayers for the bisons’ safe return to tribal lands. (Photo: Rachel Cohen / KUNC) Several tribes are working to bring bison back to their lands. As the Mountain West News Bureau’s Rachel Cohen reports, one source helping them is in Denver, Colo. where the local government manages a herd. Snow was falling fast and hard at a mountain park west of the city earlier this month, when 34 bison were gifted to four tribes or nonprofits. Denver has managed two small herds since the early 1900s and started giving some animals to tribes six years ago. Lewis TallBull is with the TallBull Memorial Council, which has members from various tribes. Lewis TallBull with the TallBull Memorial Council was part of the drumming ceremony to honor the bison. (Photo: Rachel Cohen / KUNC) This year, the organization is taking one bison back to a property it manages near Denver. “The Bison represent so much. They represent the water and the fire and the thunder and the clouds and the snow. They represent all that. But at the same time, they represent us as Indigenous people.” Tribal leaders said the animals would add genetic diversity to their growing herds – and help feed tribal members with a historic food source. The Navajo Nation got 11 bison in the transfer and the Northern Cheyenne in Montana received 10. Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily. Sign up for our daily newsletter today.

In this solo episode, I reflect on a deeply personal trip back to my home island of Jamaica following a devastating hurricane. What began as a planned celebration for my younger sister's 30th birthday became a powerful homecoming filled with mixed emotions, difficult decisions, and meaningful moments of family, service, and reflection. I share the internal debate I faced about whether to still travel after the storm, how I ultimately decided to go, and what the experience revealed to me about community, resilience, gratitude, and wealth beyond money. From being reunited with all my siblings in one place, to giving back through supplies and local spending, to leaning on my village back home as a mother of three, this episode is a reminder that financial freedom is meant to support a full, connected life. In this episode, I discuss: How leaning on my village at home made it possible for me to travel as a working mother What visiting my father and grandfather's gravesite stirred emotionally and spiritually Why supporting Jamaican-owned businesses felt especially important during recovery How giving back without performing it publicly shifted my perspective on service + more Other related blog posts/links mentioned in this episode: Get your copy of Your Journey To Financial Freedom if you haven't already.

In this our second episode discussing work from poet Eli Karren, we're shifting timelines, story lines, wine time, and coffee time. We welcome special guest, Tobi Kassim, as part of the podcast team for the day. (We'll be “sprinkling” special guests throughout the upcoming season!) We dig into Eli's richly detailed poem “Franchise Reboot” which nods to David Lynch's nineties TV phenom, Twin Peaks, along with the Museum of Popular Culture, Ikea furniture, Matthea Harvey's poem “The Future of Terror,” and Wandavision, among other touchstones. The team questions some of the advice we've received on what should or should not be included in poems: dreams, color lists, center justification, cicadas. It's an airing of pet peeves, Slushies. And then we decide to get over ourselves. Tune in with a slice of cherry pie. As always, thanks for listening. At the table: Tobi Kassim, Kathleen Volk Miller, Marion Wrenn, Lisa Zerkle, and Lillie Volpe (Sound Engineer) @eli.james.karren on Instagram Eli Karren is a poet and educator based in Austin, TX. His work can be found in the swamp pink, At Length, Palette Poetry, and the Harvard Review. Franchise Reboot We sat at the diner in Snoqualmie quoting lines back and forth to each other. Saying what we could remember, without fidelity, without choosing a character or a scene. We got the coffee, the cherry pie, took pictures with a piece of wood that the waitress passed across the bar, cradling it like a newborn. Earlier, we had gone to the waterfall, and I confessed that I had been falling in love with a coworker. Or rather, that it felt that way. Melodramatic. Full of will they won't they tension. You said, expertly, that that was probably the only exciting thing about it. That not everything in life has to be a soap opera. Later that night, when you went off to chaperone a high school dance I saw a movie about a woman who fucks a car. Outside the theater, some guys smoked cigarettes and wondered aloud if originality was dead. I told them that the only glimmer of the original is the terroir, the local language, the dialect and vernacular. All the shit you suppress when you move away from your childhood home. The things you pay a therapist to excise from you in a room comprised only of Ikea furniture. On the long Uber back to your house I thought about the future of nostalgia, the car careening through downtown Seattle, past the Shawn Kemp Cannabis shop, and the Museum of Pop Culture, which held a laser light show on its lawn. The whole drive I had the words tangled in my brain and was trying to recite Matthea Harvey's “The Future of Terror.” I remembered only the generalissimo's glands and the scampering, the faint sounds of its recitation humming below the car's looping advertisements for Wandavision. In my head the possibility of infinite worlds thrummed. Once, at a farmers market, I watched an elderly man wander through the stands, past the kids playing with pinwheels and eating ice cream, a VR headset strapped to his face, his hat in his hand, the muffled sound of tears in his vicinity. I always wondered what he had seen. What reduced him to tears on a May afternoon, his hands splayed forward, a little drunk with sun and regret, reaching out towards something. III. This, I tend to gussy up at parties. A lie I tell myself because I want to believe in true love. As I say in the diner the owls are not what they seem. But at what point does the false supercede the real? When you came home, I was crying on the couch, rewatching its rejection of closure. Its protagonist catatonic for sixteen hours, a walking talking middle finger. Just so we can have this moment where he says the line and has the suit and we hear the famous song and are embraced again. Seeing you, seeing old friends this is how I always feel. Reminded of this pond deep in the woods. Somewhere I went to only once but keep returning to in dreams. I remember how we hiked an hour out and slipped below the water as the sun began to set. In the dream, sometimes there is an island. Sometimes we swim to its surface. Sometimes the moon arises, its gravity pulling us deeper out above the blackness where the shale slips to the bottom. I'm never sure if it is when I sink into the water or exit that I become someone else. Wake always with a lyric on my lips. This is the me I've missed. The one that survives the factory reset, the franchise reboot. The one I dreamt of every morning when closure was something to be evaded, treated like the cars in a Frogger game. But not here, with you, halfway across the country. If I grasp gently, I can take the headset from my eyes. I can almost see where the red curtains part and the sycamores begin.
Selling isn't something you have to do… It's something you get to do! When I first picked up The Romance of Selling, it completely reignited my passion for what we do as entrepreneurs. This book reminded me that selling isn't about pressure, manipulation, or tactics. It's about excitement, belief, and love for the thing you're sharing with the world. In this episode of The Russell Brunson Show, I share what I learned from the book and how it connects to my own journey. From knocking doors as a missionary to failing in my first infomercial, I talk about the moment I realized that selling is really about energy and certainty. When you're genuinely excited about what you have, that enthusiasm transfers to other people. And that's when sales become effortless. Key Highlights: ◼️Why enthusiasm will always outperform the perfect script ◼️The difference between entrepreneurs, technicians, and true salespeople ◼️How a failed infomercial taught me the real meaning of belief in your offer ◼️The power of energy and certainty to move people to action ◼️Why selling is the greatest expression of service and leadership Here's the truth: selling isn't just how you make money, it's how you change lives. When you sell, you're inviting someone into a new story. You're giving them hope, possibility, and transformation. That's why I love this game so much. It's not about closing deals. It's about opening doors. ◼️If you want to go deeper and see my personal notes on The Romance of Selling, you can grab them here: https://russellbrunson.com/notes ◼️If you've got a product, offer, service… or idea… I'll show you how to sell it (the RIGHT way) Register for my next event → https://sellingonline.com/podcast ◼️Still don't have a funnel?

Not of all wine news is about a drop in sales or activity...wine tourism is up. On Wine Talks I regularly discuss the idea that wine is headed back in time to the days where the experience of wine is driving the interest in wine. Winery tastings, wine pairing dinners, day long wine excursions and more are peaking the interest in not only wine enthusiasts but wine novices the same. One destination that is working hard at luring wine travel is Armenia. I have keen interest in understanding the value of and the current climate of wine tourism in my country of heritage. Lilit Gregoryan is on the forefront of the movement and we had a chance to catch up and discuss the current state of Armenian wine travel. I have to tell you, sitting down (virtually, in this case) with Lilit Grigoryan for this episode of Wine Talks was one of those conversations that leaves you thinking long after you hit “stop recording.” Now, I'll let you in on a little behind-the-scenes secret: this was our third crack at getting the tech to play nice for a clear connection between sunny Southern California and Yerevan, Armenia. You could say we worked up a thirst before we even started talking wine. Right from the get-go, Lilit came in with the big picture view—“Winemaking and wine are rooted as a nation in our DNA.” That statement stuck with me. For all the talk we have about terroir, varietals, and fancy cellaring techniques, sometimes you need a reminder that, in places like Armenia, wine's not just a beverage or even an export—it's part of the cultural bedrock. She made the bold and very true point: Armenia isn't just learning from Europe; it's reminding Europe, and the world, where winemaking really started. What really fascinated me was her work in building up the Council of Enotourism. Now, enotourism anywhere is having its moment, and Armenia is no exception. I'll admit, I ended up tumbling down memory lane—remembering road trips that started off about something else (the Monaco Grand Prix, in my case) and somehow veered, as everything in my life seems to, straight into wine country. The magic of enotourism, Lilit pointed out, is that it's about more than tasting rooms. It's about connecting public, private, and even academic stakeholders—guides, wineries, archeologists, whole communities—to put Armenia back on the wine map. There's a humility that runs deep in Armenian winemakers, which, as Lilit mentioned, maybe ought to be set aside for a bit of healthy self-promotion. Why not, when you have 6,100-year-old wine caves that literally rewrite the history of viticulture? This is a nation where, she told me, even the rituals carved into fourth- and sixth-century churches tell the story of wine's place in life and faith. “We are the shoulders that the Old World stands on.” I scribbled that down—it's one for the ages. We got into some wine geek talk (couldn't resist)—about amphora and the ancient methods now making a comeback from Bordeaux to California. Funny thing, the rest of the world calls it trendy; for Armenians, it's just Tuesday. And I had to laugh—she talked about roadside wine in Coke bottles, and yeah, in 2007, I could barely choke down what I found. But the leap in quality is astounding. Armenian winemakers today are winning international gold medals! You can feel the pride simmering up—and frankly, that's as it should be. Lilit's also candid about the challenges—lack of unity among stakeholders, the need for more education, and the always-present tension of getting government support. Reminded me of local feuds in the LA trade; everyone wants the same thing, but getting consensus? It's like herding cats with corkscrews. But what I love most is her conviction: this is a marathon, not a sprint. Armenians have always been resilient—she's sure, and so am I, that Armenia's renaissance is just getting started. And let's not forget, she humbly attributes her passion to being “one cheeky university girl” drinking wine with her friends, which, honestly, is how the best careers begin. Lilit is creating a movement, and you can feel it—one that won't just put Armenian wine on the table but will make it impossible for the world to ignore. So, next time you're reaching for something old-world or new-world, remember Lilit's words: “We are ancient world.” And maybe, just maybe, it's time to pour Armenia into your next glass.
