IN THIS EPISODE: Jeff's redemption story of overcoming addiction and prison to regain and reimagine his law practice; The importance of finding the right lawyer; The Federal Expungement Initiative; Upcoming White Collar Support Online Seminar, which includes powerhouse speakers like Jeffrey Toobin, Joe Bankman, and Prof. Doug Berman.

From Rocky to Rambo to his latest hit Tulsa King, Sylvester Stallone has spent decades defying the odds. Long before Hollywood stardom, he was a struggling actor in a New York apartment, writing the script for Rocky that would change his life. In this Sitdown, Stallone reflects on the hardships that fueled his drive, why he refused to let anyone else play Rocky, and how receiving the Kennedy Center Honors has impacted his perspective on legacy.
12 - RFK Jr. is sparring with Congress members on Capitol Hill today, defending his action as HHS secretary. We listen to audio clips of him taking down opposing Senators with their flawed and possibly paid for logic. 1215 - Side - all-time anti-hero 1220 - More audio from RFK Jr.'s congressional hearing. Is Rocky's impact to Philadelphia equal to Ferris Bueller's impact on Chicago? Can the national broadcast show B-roll footage of Philadelphia that isn't cheesesteaks? Is Phil Murphy worse than Gavin Newsome? Parents can't be contacted if their kid is suicidal, by law? 1235 - NJ Assemblywoman Dawn Fantasia joins the program this afternoon. Why is the new proposal for curriculum in New Jersey just a rehash of a previous curriculum that didn't work? Why do Democrats continue to make parents the villains? How bad is overpayment by government officials in New Jersey? Is Mikie Sherrill's campaign losing steam as she scours the state for answers? 1250 - RFK Jr. dropped a bomb on Elizabeth Warren's testimony?
Since the Italian Stallion first appeared on screen in 1976, Rocky Balboa's cinematic story has become a staple of pop culture, not just in America but around the world. The tropes from the film have been emulated and parodied many times over the years in other movies, TV shows, and media. It's well known for its theme music, training montage, and the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.Like all great sports movies, Rocky isn't really about the sport itself but about life. It's about people and how they relate to each other.After a successful sequel in 1979, it was no surprise that Stallone would once again wear his boxing shorts and gloves for this 80s sequel. However, this time, there are new challenges and opponents, both physical and emotional.So, step into the boxing ring, turn up Survivor's “Eye of the Tiger,” and get ready for a knockout episode as Tim Williams and guest co-hosts Chris Adams and JB Huffman discuss “Rocky III” from 1982 on this episode of the 80s Flick Flashback! Here are some additional behind-the-scenes trivia we were unable to cover in this episode:According to an interview with Mr. T, he attended the movie's premiere with his mother. During the scene where he yells lurid remarks at Adrian, his mother turned to him and said, "I did not raise you to talk to a lady like that." She then stormed out of the theater.To reclaim the title, Rocky pulls off a trick known as a rope-a-dope. This involves making the opponent believe he has the fight, teasing him to make the adrenaline pump and wearing him out so that you can easily go in and knock him down. The trick was used by Muhammad Ali against George Foreman in the famous Rumble in the Jungle fight.Sources:Wikipedia, IMDB, BoxOfficeMojohttps://www.reelworldtheology.com/rocky-revisited-showing-some-love-for-the-sequels/https://totalrocky.com/articles/r3/rocky-3-trivia/Some sections were composed by ChatGPTWe'd love to hear your thoughts on our podcast!

Welcome to Epsd 101 of the Mike and Ron: Here to Help podcast. This week your most informative podcasters discuss everything from how being honest can be seen as disrespectful to DEI and Rocky Balboa was a DEI hire to Mikes new car and what it's like going from a Mercedes to Toyota Hybrid. They then discuss hybrids vs gas engines to homeless encampments across the country to why America seems hell bent on destroying the global system that made America so successful to income inequality to how many Americans no longer move or spend time in other parts of the country to experience different cultures to Texas gerrymandering for Trump vs Gavin Newsom and the war against Republicans attacking democracy to Rick Caruso and the California Wildfires to how politics in America historically swings from left to right and much much more!

Life will hit you harder than any punch, disappointments, temptations, and spiritual battles come for everyone. Rocky Balboa said it's about “how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward,” but God's Word says something even more powerful: “After you have done everything… stand.” (Ephesians 6:13). In this message, we'll break down the Armor of God and discover how standing in Christ, not our own strength is the only way to truly endure. Because the armor isn't just spiritual equipment, it's Jesus Himself.
Ponemos el broche a la temporada 4 con el cierre de la saga principal de Rocky con una de sus mejores entregas, justamente la que menos podía esperarse en su año de estreno. Y es que en 2006, Sylvester Stallone fue capaz de reinventarse tras 30 años de carrera, 6 películas del personaje a sus espaldas, y probablemente en el momento más bajo de su estatus como actor. Rocky Balboa es la redención por la quinta entrega, un cierre perfecto que luego se vería ampliado en Creed. Pero aquí, Sly sacaba eso que le quedaba dentro para presentar una película muy querida por los fans, llena de grandes frases y momentos para un personaje incombustible. Como siempre os contamos los secretos de su producción y repasamos la trama con todo lujo de detalles. Se suben al ring junto a Balboa, Álvaro Gil, Juandi y Salva Vargas. Este programa cuenta con la producción ejecutiva de nuestr@s mecenas, l@s grandes, l@s únicos Kamy, Lobo Columbus, Enfermera en Mordor, Javier Ramírez, La Casa del Acantilado, Shinyoru, José Percius, Diana, Josemaria1975, Kal-el__80, David, Cohaggen, Elena Gómez, Iván Alonso, Javi, Olgafies, JohnJoe96, Buguui, José Ángel Sanz y David Torrent Durán. ¿Quieres ayudarnos a seguir mejorando y creciendo?

Oh, it's a bad day to be a dolemite! But possibly a good day if you're a children's book or someone called "Rocky Balboa".
Retomamos nuestro ciclo dedicado a Rocky Balboa con la que posiblemente es la la película más denostada de toda la saga. Rocky V es para incluso el propio Sylvester Stallone el lunar negro de la franquicia. Aún así, le sacamos sus aciertos que los tiene, pero no podemos negar sus errores. Un repaso a su creación, curiosidades, y a su criticada trama. Se suben al ring Álvaro Gil, Juandi y Salva Vargas.

We can get one thing out of the way right up top: James DeMonaco is from Staten Island. Seeing Rocky Balboa on the big screen as a kid was mind-blowing; seeing Sylvester Stallone take a story of such a familiar kind of guy and make it into an Oscar-winning mega-franchise for the ages was life-altering. While DeMonaco is best known for his stealthily political horror films, his love of Rocky even made it into a coming-of-age project called THIS IS THE NIGHT, set around the release of ROCKY III. He and Jordan get into the importance of seeing a familiar milieu on screen, and get into the motivation behind DeMonaco's current film, THE HOME, a psychological horror movie starring Pete Davidson, set at an eldercare facility.Then, Jordan has one quick thing about the new Netflix series HUNTING WIVES. Feeling Seen is hosted by Jordan Crucchiola and is a production Maximum Fun.Need more Feeling Seen? Keep up with the show on Instagram and Bluesky.

A beautiful ending to the story with some great heart and humour that elevates it above some of the previous sequels and a great example of tapping into what made the original great even after 30 years.

"Touch me and I'll Podcast - it's round five as Phil takes 1990's Rocky 5 off the shelf this week. Dave isn't that eager to get back in the ring but in the end thinks the movie is better than he thought it would be, though does think that the casting of Tommy Morrison is a weak link to the film and ensures that it never reaches the heights it could. Phil finds the choice to humble Rocky and return him to the neighbourhood to be a good one and helps ground the character after Rocky 4. Bringing back the director and composer of the original film is a nice touch. Will we cover Rocky Balboa? Well, I didn't hear no bell.

How many battles are you fighting without even being aware you're in the arena?It might seem like everything is “fine”. Sure, you had struggles, some hard times and bad luck, and things that didn't quite go your way. Many people have a story or two about the time they got fucked over BECAUSE they were doing the right thing.That boomerang can spin around and hit you when you least expect it, like it did for Tony Crescenzo.Tony grew up in a family of mechanics. Really, all the men in his family were mechanics, except for one grandfather who retired relatively young and bought a farm. They all lived in that same South Philadelphia neighborhood where the Rocky Balboa character trained for his fights with Apollo Creed. So young Tony worked Saturdays as a mechanic and Sundays on his grandfather's farm, learning the value of good, honest work.Tony's parents divorced. His mother remarried to a Navy officer and they moved to Hawaii. His stepfather's friend was an old-school Marine whose John Wayne-esque tales of service and heroism inspired young Tony to join the Marines. That's where he learned priceless lessons about teamwork, being part of something greater than yourself, and the importance of service. That's until he was assigned to NIS (which is what it was before NCIS), working in criminal investigations to bring down a paycheck scam. As the only witness for the upcoming court-martial of the accused, he soon found himself being court-martialed – and convicted – for a plethora of exaggerated charges, one of which was that he was UA (think AWOL) even though he was on an approved leave!So much for Semper Fi, right? Well, not exactly. Tony did get the conviction reversed, along with a commendation for his service and $20 for his trouble. But he decided to pivot to the private sector, working for, leading, and owning various companies and becoming a sort of “Clint Eastwood” of corporate restructuring. The thing is, his penchant for fighting was affecting every aspect of his life. Both his first and his second wives were used to Tony waking them up in the middle of the night screaming in his sleep. In his own words, he was was one of those people who goes from zero to fuck you in 10 seconds. So things weren't “fine”. It's a four-letter word. And then everything changed when he mis-Googled directions to the CIA.In a moment, when we meet Tony, he is going to give us a master class in accountability, vulnerability, and leadership including the power of meditation and an innovative method he is bringing to market for treating PTSD. As you listen, reflect on the fact that PTSD is not limited to those who have seen death and destruction on the battlefield. It comes in many different forms from triggers you might not even know.Tony's hype song is “Summer Wind” by Frank Sinatra.

The year was 1985, Freddy Mercury was bringing down the house at Wembley, Rocky Balboa won the Cold War by defeating Ivan Drago, and the Nintendo Entertainment System was release in the United States. It took the country by storm on the overall clad back of an Italian plumber named Mario. Nintendo ruled the home video game market until 1989 when a new player joined the game. The Sega Genesis' step onto the scene wasn't a home run right away. Sega decided to bring in a legend of the toy industry, a man named Tom Kalinske. This guy had his hands all over your childhood (not in the bad way) . Flintstone Vitamins? He created them. Barbie? He's the reason she's around today. Matchbox Cars? Who amongst us hasn't smashed one with a hammer when they no longer rolled properly. Tom and his team decided the only way to fight Nintendo's death grip on the market was to appeal to an older more mature and rebellious audience, teenagers. Sega became MTV to Nintendo's Disney Channel. Their battle took place in the stores, at the conventions, and on your TV. It had everything, corporate sabotage, defection to the competition, Joey Lawrence, Japanese rent-by-the-hour hotels, and a Hedgehog with attitude who's still doing his thing today. Get ready for the nostalgia fueled ride that is The Console Wars: Round 1.Support the show

Er ist vielleicht einer, der bei der Aufzählung der Hamburger Handballhelden hin und wieder vergessen wird. Zu Unrecht. Ein echter Kämpfer, wie in den Sprachnachrichten mehrmals betont wird. Matthias Flohr ist zu Gast und spricht wenige Tage vor dem Lidl Final4 mit Moderator Markus Götz ausführlich über seinen Weg. Flohr erzählt, warum der Kontrast nach 12 Jahren beim „HSV Hollywood“ in Hamburg zu 6 Jahre in Balingen genau richtig war und dass die Rückkehr als Trainer gar nicht wirklich geplant war. Der Rheinländer blickt auf sein Jubiläums- und gleichzeitig Premieren-Final4 am kommenden Wochenende als Trainer des HBW Balingen-Weilstetten voraus und rekapituliert den schwierigen Spagat zwischen Final4-Freude und Liga-Alltag. Es geht um die besondere Humorebene, die er mit Jens Bürkle teilt, wofür seine damals 4-jährige Schwester herhalten musste und einen berühmten Kleiderhaken in seiner Stammkneipe. Viel Spaß mit Folge #127 von „Hand aufs Harz“ mit Matthias Flohr. Das offizielle Magazin zum Lidl Final4: https://bit.ly/LF4-Magazin

Send us a textThe power of a perfectly delivered line can transcend the film itself, becoming part of our shared cultural language. In this deep-dive episode, we explore cinema's most memorable quotes and why they continue to give us goosebumps decades later. From Quint's chilling warning aboard the Orca to HAL 9000's haunting final song, we dissect the context, delivery, and lasting impact of film's greatest utterances.Spielberg's masterful editing of "You're going to need a bigger boat" in Jaws demonstrates how timing transforms a simple line into cinematic history. We uncover surprising production secrets, like how the Empire Strikes Back's famous paternity reveal was kept secret even from most cast members until premiere night. The philosophical weight of Roy Batty's "tears in rain" monologue from Blade Runner leads us into a fascinating discussion about consciousness, memory, and what truly defines humanity.Beyond the quotes themselves, we explore why certain lines resonate across generations. Is it their philosophical depth? Their perfect encapsulation of a character? Or perhaps their ability to distill complex emotions into just a few words? Whether it's Rocky Balboa's wisdom about perseverance or Michael Caine's perfectly delivered "You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!" these lines have become shorthand for entire philosophies and attitudes.What's your favorite movie quote? Share it with us and tell us why it resonates with you. And don't forget to tune in next week when we'll tackle cinema's worst lines – the cringe-worthy dialogue that somehow made it past countless script readings and into film history for all the wrong reasons.Support the show

Eugene, Joe and Angel review Rocky Balboa
After beating Joe Frazier and George Foreman in two of the biggest fights in boxing history, Muhammad Ali was looking for an easy win over somebody. Enter Chuck Wepner... This would be a walk in the park for the champ before he could move on to bigger things. Chuck had other plans. After knocking Ali down in the 9th round Wepner told his trainer Al Braverman to start the car... "We're going to the bank, " he said. "We're millionaires." To which Braverman told his fighter, "You better turn around. He's getting up and he looks pissed off." For the remainder of the fight, Ali battered the challenger, opening up cuts above both of Wepner's eyes. But Wepner kept coming, and kept coming, and never stopped until 19 seconds left in the 15th round when Ali sent him to the canvas... and even then, Wepner got back up, but the fight was stopped. He had given everything he had and then some and his courageous fight caught the attention of everyone... most notably a young Sylvester Stallone who would use this Wepner fight against Ali to write a screenplay about a fighter getting the opportunity of a lifetime, and coming this close to becoming the heavyweight champion of the world. We know him as Rocky Balboa. But another filmmaker also was interested in the story of Chuck Wepner. Enter Jeff Feuerzeig, who wasn't as interested in Rocky Balboa, but rather... The Bayonne Bleeder, Wepner. So Feuerzeig set out to tell the story of Wepner in an ESPN 30-for-30 documentary called 'The Real Rocky" and then followed that up by writing the screenplay for a feature film titled, "Chuck" starring Liev Schreiber. Nobody knows the story of Chuck Wepner better than Feuerzeig and he joins us this week on the 50-year anniversary of when this unheralded fighter got into the ring with the most famous boxer of all-time, and stood toe-to-toe with the great Ali for 15 rounds. Feuerzeig tells how he first heard of Chuck as an 11-year old kid and the fight Wepner had against Sonny Liston that was the bloodiest battle one could imagine. The Sundance Award winning director for The Devil and Daniel Johnston, Feuerzeig tells the story of how over 30 years after the Ali fight, he was able to tell the story of the Real Rocky on ESPN's signature 30-for-30 series and how the ensuing court battle of the former marine Wepner, vs the Hollywood icon, Stallone was more a matter of honor and recognition than anything else. March 24, 1975 had Chuck Wepner on the cover of Sports Illustrated... the day he and Ali battled in Cleveland, Ohio for all the world to see... Wepner's 15 minutes of fame, turned into 15 rounds of theatre... and Jeff Feuerzeig tells the story better than anyone and shares it with us on the Past Our Prime podcast.

Many boxing movies have surpassed what Robert Wise and Paul Newman brought to the screen in Somebody Up There Likes Me, but their biopic DID win 2 technical Oscars. Newman is not at his best playing Rocky Graziano, an angry young delinquent who turned a life spent in various forms of trouble into a championship boxing career. He was still new to movies though and wasn't to be laconic and cool as he get to be in other roles. This was clearly a huge influence on the most-famous fictional boxer, Sly Stallone's Rocky Balboa. Ryan had fun with that comparison in this solo show, which is the 653rd edition of Have You Ever Seen. So step into the ring and take advantage of your hate as we ring in the spring this Oscar Month with a monologue about Somebody Up There Likes Me. Well, Actually: the content in the 3rd trivia question is inaccurate: Newman had 10 Oscar nominations in total, 9 for acting and 1 for producing (plus, Denzel Washington has 10 in total too because he was nominated for producing Fences). Also, to be crystal clear, the next solo show won't be on April 4th. It will be on Monday, March 24th. Bev will miss that day as she continues to recover from her surgery.

When COVID-19 became a global pandemic five years ago, Dr. Ala Stanford stepped up to help Philadelphians get access to information, testing, care, and later, vaccines. She founded the Black Doctors Consortium, and after her work gained national media attention, then-President Biden appointed her Regional Director of the US Department of Health and Human Services. Last summer, Dr. Stanford published a book, “Take Care of Them Like My Own”. It's about her personal journey, her work, and the importance of equity and representation in medicine. She talks about all of that with our host, Racquel Williams. This interview originally aired July 27, 2024. Then, on a new Shara in the City, we're talking to family and friends of Philly's real life Rocky Balboa, Joe Frazier. Shara Dae Howard heads out to North Philly, where Frazier's gym is sitting in disrepair on Broad Street and the community is fighting to save it.
