Today's podcast is with SuperStar US Naval Academy Student, Maddox D. Maddox challenges me with real life questions facing college students aspiring to transition to careers after college. He also asks great questions pertaining to any young adult, who has recently transitioned from high school to college.Maddox's parlay into the the US Naval Academy is no easy feat. The US Naval Academy has an acceptance rate of 8%. Not great odds, but Maddox got in with great grades, great test scores and great parents.Maddox has big plans for his life. I commend him for his willingness to banter with me about finances at a basic level, which will ultimately lead to his future success. By the way, Maddox is the older brother of Luka D, whom I had Q & A on last weeks' episode. Maddox is also my nephew and godson.This was a really fun episode as I learned a lot from Maddox. #personalfinance #financialLiteracy #money #finance #financialplanning Support the showDid you know you can now Help Us Continue Making Awesome Content for Listeners Affected by Grief!Thanks for listening!

Back from Europe, Keith offers a way to break the ice with women on a date in a way that gets them talking about things they enjoy discussing. It's a reasonable suggestion, and one that Mike unwittingly deployed recently at the grocery store as well. Keith wants to know if there's anything that an attractive woman can do without being super aggressive that would be a complete turn-off to a man during an early sexual encounter with her. Is repulsion even possible in that situation? If a man is very attracted to a woman, and that woman has a twin sister, will the man be attracted to the twin as well? And, if the man becomes less attracted to his partner for whatever reason, will he start finding the sister more and more attractive? Can this cause relationship problems? Me, I have very little experience with twins. Twinks, sure, but not twins. A woman wants to save her boyfriend's semen as a "souvenir". Another is concerned because her husband has lost sexual interest in her. And a man, in a curiously female-sounding piece of prose, describes how much he enjoys the initial penetration of PIV sex. Who doesn't? We get a lot of our questions from Reddit, so for our listeners' enjoyment, here are links to some of the questions we discussed this week: https://ymmv.me/126/hygiene https://ymmv.me/126/meh https://ymmv.me/126/tissue https://ymmv.me/126/libido https://ymmv.me/126/dirty-talk https://ymmv.me/126/penetration Twitter: @ymmvpod Facebook: ymmvpod Email: ymmvpod@gmail.com

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for March 5, 2023 is: repartee rep-er-TEE noun Repartee can refer to either “a conversation in which clever statements and replies are made quickly” or a single “quick and witty reply.” It can also refer to one's cleverness and wit in conversation, as in “an aunt widely known for her repartee at family gatherings.” // The twins' repartee at the back of the class always cracked up their classmates, though their teacher was rarely amused. See the entry > Examples: “The language of the play moves between the vernacular and the elevated, informed by the repartee of TV sitcoms as well as by the poetry of William Blake.” — Rebecca Mead, The New Yorker, 19 June 2022 Did you know? Dorothy Parker was known for her repartee. Upon hearing that former president Calvin Coolidge had died, the poet, short-story writer, screenwriter, and critic—famous for her acerbic wit—replied, “How can they tell?” The taciturn Coolidge, aka “Silent Cal,” obviously didn't have a reputation for being the life of the party, but he could be counted on for the occasional bon mot, as when a Washington, D.C., hostess told him, “You must talk to me, Mr. President. I made a bet today that I could get more than two words out of you,” and he replied, “You lose.” Repartee, our word for a quick, sharp reply (and for skill with such replies) comes from the French repartie, of the same meaning. Repartie itself is formed from the French verb repartir, meaning “to retort.”

Welcome to the Celestial Insights Podcast, the show that brings the stars down to Earth! Each week, astrologer, coach, and intuitive Celeste Brooks of Astrology by Celeste will be your guide. Join Celeste's Libra New Moon webinar on September 25 at 12 pm PT. Book a private astrology reading or horary consultation. Enroll in the Moon Mastery™ Program. Check out Celeste's blog. Download Celeste's free guide to help understand the transiting Moon! Here's Celeste's Amazon storefront, with recommended books and oracle decks! You can also follow Astrology by Celeste on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, and Yelp. ***** Astrology highlights for the week of September 25, 2022: 00:49 – This week's theme is: The Power of Love! We enter a week with a focus on the sign of Libra. 00:55 – The three big things this week: First, the week kicks off with a New Moon at 2 Libra! Libra is Cardinal initiating energy. How can you bring more balance and harmony to one-on-one relationships? Venus rules Libra: What do you want to magnetize to yourself? Venus in Virgo trines Pluto; Mars in Gemini contra-parallels Pluto in Capricorn. This is intense and primal – watch out for power struggles. Join Celeste's Libra New Moon webinar on September 25 at noon PT if it suits your fancy! Also, the complimentary Setting Intention with the Moon Guide for Libra, Scorpio, and Sagittarius are now available and includes worksheets! 04:12 – Second, Venus enters its home sign of Libra on Thursday. In Libra, Venus is harmonious and wants to connect and draw to itself what it desires. A few famous Venus-in-Libra folks include Carpool Karaoke's James Cordon (enjoy this episode with Lizzo!), as well as Will and Jada Smith. Someone with Venus in Libra might seek out equal, well-balanced partnerships. This could be a good time for women to possibly make some strides too, because Ceres also enters Virgo this week. 06:36 – So third, as Ceres enters Virgo, we may hear more news about food, grains, the harvest, and/or food shortages (as we also keep in mind that the Saturn-Uranus square is this close!). Also known as Demeter, Ceres is the mother figure and goddess of the harvest. The mythology is around the story of why we have the seasons and why the vegetation "dies" each fall. Folks with this placement tend to nurture others to achieve excellence through applying skills and talents. 09:29 – On Sunday, the theme is COME HITHER. Magnetize what you desire. The week starts with the Moon in Virgo and will conjunct Venus. When the Moon and Venus join once a month, it's known as a Goddess Day! The Moon enters Libra at 9:42 am PT. The New Moon at 2 Libra occurs at 2:54 pm PT. 11:05 – On Monday, the word of the day is REPARTEE. Lighten conversations with a witty turn of phrase. 13:23 – Tuesday's focus is SEDUCTIVE. The eyes are the windows to the soul. Cast your magic spell with a look. The Moon enters Scorpio at 4:14 pm PT. 15:20 – On Wednesday, the word is EXPERIMENT. Try a different approach. 16:29 – On Thursday, the theme is DEVOTION. What are you committed to nurturing and growing in your life as an act of love? Venus enters Libra at 12:48 am PT. Ceres enters Virgo at 1:55 am PT. Crescent Moon phase at 21 Scorpio at 6:00 am PT. The Moon enters Sagittarius at 9:03 pm PT. 18:00 – On Friday, the emphasis is GRACEFUL. Float like a butterfly. 19:23 – On Saturday, the word is DELUGE. Protect your energy. Bring your figurative umbrella to avoid getting overwhelmed by another's emotional response. 21:01 – Thanks for listening to Celestial Insights! To support the podcast and help others find the show, please follow or subscribe wherever you listen, rate it five stars, or write a lovely review!

Rebecca and Tara launch a new monthly feature, Reader Repartee, in which they will ask a guest five questions: 1. How did you become a reader? 2. What book do you wish you could read again for the first time? 3. What is your favorite opening sentence? 4. What is your favorite book cover? 5. Which author, living or dead, would you like to meet in person and why? Tara is Rebecca's first guest and she highlights The Tent Peg by Aritha van Herk and Fall on Your Knees by Ann-Marie MacDonald. If you would like to be a future guest, please DM Rebecca or Tara on Instagram at: @canadareadsamericanstyle or @onabranchreads
The word of the day is REPARTEE - conversation or speech characterized by quick, witty comments or replies. Which, really, does it even need to be said? This podcast has it, others don't. That's why you're here, right?
The crew sneaks around the camp and learns exactly how stealthy they really are.
Silly questions should be solved with cleaveness.....
Meg Warren is our first guest of 2021. After starting the multiple award-winning band Repartee in 2009, they criss-crossed Canada for 8 years, driving the van to hundreds of shows across the country. A high point in her career came in 2016 when what started as a little song idea about fighting for the people you love called ‘Dukes’ became the most added song across all radio formats across Canada in July of that year. Repartee would go on to win the 2017 Indie Music Award for Pop Artist/Group of the year. Now, as a solo artist and songwriter, Meg co-produced and co-engineered her EP, ‘A Thousand Ways’ with ECMA-winning producer Dan Ledwell. She also engineered, mixed, and co-produced Newfoundland singer-songwriter Virginia Fudge’s upcoming EP which is slated for an early 2021 release. She can't wait to see what's next.

A NEW NTR IS HERE!!! We’re continuing our coverage of PAMA’s “When Night Stirred At Sea’. This exhibit is in partnership with Caribbean Art Fair (cArt), The Black Artist Network in Dialogue (BAND) and guest curators Karen Carter and Greg Manuel. The first virtual artist talk takes place on Saturday, November 28th where the exhibit will be profiling photographers. These artists will take time to explain their individual practices and influences and will discuss the ways in which their imagery is influenced by and speaks to their connection to the Caribbean. Joining host Nav Nanwa to talk about this further is co-curator Greg Manuel, renowned filmmaker Storm Saulter and legendary UK photographer Vanley Burke. Topics discussed include: - The emergence of Caribbean Film and Photography- The art behind capturing real moments in time - What exhibits like "When Night Stirred At Sea" could mean to a new generation of Caribbean creatives. In addition, Nav chats with Singer/Songwriter Meg Warren. Meg, who was originally from Newfoundland and now resides in Toronto, is prepping for the release of her new EP 'A Thousand Ways'. Previously the lead singer of well-known band Repartee, she's venturing on her own and talks to Nav about going solo, adjusting to Toronto, and the need for more female/non-binary representation when it comes to music producers and engineers.

MANLEY: I'm making things more efficient. DAVE: How? MANLEY: Abbreviations. DAVE: Give me an example. MANLEY: LOL. I text that to my plumbers to remind them to LOOK…OUT… for LEAKS. DAVE: You're texting that? MANLEY: Yep. And sometimes the guys text back “D-K.” That means DRAIN… CLOGGED. DAVE: But clog is spelled with a C. MANLEY: Not in internet talk, Dave. Other times they text me that the WATER… TANK's… FINE. DAVE: Do they ever text LMAO? MANLEY: Sure. That means LOOKIN'… MIGHTY… A-OH DAVE: A-OH? MANLEY: That's short for “A-Okay.” Dave, you need to learn internet talk. © 2019, Roy H. Williams We were only 18 words into that exchange when you realized one of the characters owns, or manages, a plumbing company. You figured that out even though the character never said it. You walk into the middle of conversations every day and quickly figure out what's happening. When you're writing banter in advertising, you must allow your audience to do the same.And did you notice that neither character said “WTF?” It was you that said WTF after the plumbing company owner said, “WATER… TANK's… FINE.” That was the moment you participated in the ad. Marketers like to call this “engagement,” but a more accurate word is “participation.” You want your readers, listeners, and viewers to participate in your ads by filling in what you left out. Is the manager of the plumbing company really that dull-witted, or is he just having fun with his friend? You've got to figure that out for yourself. Are you beginning to see why well-written banter is difficult to ignore? Ad campaigns built around the banter of memorable characters never get old. Instead, they get stronger with each passing year.You won't learn to write banter by studying advertising. Instead, you must study screenwriters and novelists. This passage from Sea Swept, by Nora Roberts, is a good example: CAM: You can't buy decent socks for twenty these days. ETHAN: You can if you don't have to have some fancy designer label on them. This ain't Paris. CAM: You haven't bought decent shoes in ten years. And if you don't pull up that frigging seat, I'm going to – PHILLIP: Cut it out! Cut it out right now or I swear I'm going to pull over and knock your heads together… I'll dump your bodies in the mall parking lot and drive to Mexico. I'll learn how to weave mats and sell them on the beach in Cozumel… I'll change my name to Raoul, and no one will know I was ever related to a bunch of fools. SETH: Does he always talk like that? CAM: Yeah, mostly. Sometimes he's going to be Pierre and live in a garret in Paris, but it's the same thing. The best advice I can give you about putting banter in ads is this: Don't start writing until your characters have come fully alive in your mind. You'll know this has happened when one of them says something unexpected. Write that down. And then listen to what the other character says in response. If you ever force an imaginary character to say what you wish they would say, that character will immediately die and your ad will sound like an ad. Worse than that, the rotting corpse of your dead character will make your ad smell like an ad. So trust your characters to know their jobs. Sooner or later one of them will say something unexpected about whatever it is you need them to help you sell. A boring, annoying person says exactly what you expected them to say. “Boring and annoying.” Describes most ads, doesn't it? Please don't let it describe yours. When your imaginary characters have come fully alive, you'll enjoy spending time with them, and the audience will look forward to your next ad. https://www.wizardacademy.org/product/how-to-write-banter-dialogue-and-repartee-may-15-16/ (I'll see you when you get here.)

“I was told that repartee heightens the attention of an audience.” “Is this going to be like that time you told me about ambergris?” “What do you mean?” “There I was, minding my own business, when you started telling me how the most expensive perfume in the world comes from whale puke. Like I needed to know that.” “Yes. This is another interesting fact that will broaden your horizons.” “Okay, let's get this over with. So tell me, what in the name of King-of-the-Sea Poseidon and Chicken-of-the-Sea tuna is repartee? “Repartee is the banter between interesting characters.” “Great. I appreciate you sharing that with me.” “But I haven't told you why you need to know.” “I don't know that I do need to know.” “You need to know.” “For the record, your little whale puke story still hasn't done me any good.” “Someday you'll be glad you know about ambergris.” “Can you name that day for me? I'll put it on my calendar.” “You need to know about repartee today. Right now, in fact.” “Why?” “You're about to start advertising.” “Yeah, and?” “Yankelovich says the average citizen is bombarded with more than 5,000 selling messages per day.” “Yankel who?” “Yankelovich. It's a consumer behavior research firm.” “Five thousand a day, really?” “Yeah. So what are you going to do to make your message stand apart from those other 5,000?” “Repartee?” “Exactly.” “I think it might be easier to find some whale puke.” “Repartee works because people naturally turn their attention toward interesting interactions. Ever heard of Elmore Leonard?” “Novelist, right?” “When he was asked if he had a secret formula for writing bestsellers, he said, ‘I try to leave out the parts that people skip.'” “Dewey Crowe is my favorite character of his.” “Yeah, Dewey's awesome. But then the interviewer had a follow-up question.” “Did they ask, ‘What are the parts that people skip?'” “Yeah. How did you know?” “It's what I would have asked.” “So, do you want to know what they skip?” “Actually, yes.” “Everything that isn't dialogue.” “So you're saying all I have to do is turn my ads into a conversation between two people?” “That's not what I'm saying at all.” “How is it not what you're saying?” “If you write an ad and put it into the mouths of two people, it's still an ad. It's not dialogue. It's not banter. It's not repartee.” “What is it then?” “It's Ad Speak.” “It would still sound like an ad?” “Of course it would. Real people never talk like that. Repartee is the personality-revealing banter between characters who actually have personalities.” “Like me and you?” “Mostly me.” “I'd have to do this repartee thing on radio or TV, right?” “Why do you think that?” “I mean, it's people talking.” “But we're not doing this on radio or TV. We're doing this in an email.” “Is repartee a French word?” “I think so. Why do you ask?” “It sounds pretentious and that usually means it's French.” “You can call it banter if you want.” “Banter. My ads are going to be known for banter. I'm going to be the Banter man.” “I'm glad I could help.” “Wait a minute. Did you say we were having this conversation in an email?” “Yeah. It's a weekly thing sent out by a guy named Williams. Calls himself the Wizard of Ads.” “The Wizard of Ads?” “Yeah.” “Must be French.” [Both men start laughing.] # # END # # Roy H. Williams
