Rose is the co-founder of, the not for profit organisation, Reframe Club and is the co-host of the Reframe Podcast. She loves to write and believes that everyone deserves to be at peace with food. Rose is a good friend and her knowledge and experience during these types of conversations consistently have a profound impact. The way in which Rose is able to explain very complex psychological theories and make them feel understandable and actionable is remarkable. This episode is mindblowing as we move between many topics all relating to each other but all equally being separate topics with clear mythology towards their approaches. Highlights: A clear definition of intuitive eating Why do people develop eating disorders The mind and body connection Intellectualising trauma and bodywork Guidance for difficult relationships with food Yo-yo dieting and labelling food good or bad Links: Life Goal Discovery Masterclass Reframeclub.com Live A Well Life Website School of Self Development Self-Development Community Follow: @theselfdevelopmentcoach @theschoolofselfdevelopment @liveawelllife @reframeclub The Self Development Podcast is produced by Charlie Currie from Chatter Podcasts. The Self Development Podcast theme music is called ‘Life I Chose' by Kick Lee.

Rose White, a nutrition and intuitive eating coach, has a wonderful ethos around eating and nourishing ourselves that has absolutely nothing to do with diets. And because we can get so knotted up around what we eat and drink and how that affects how we feel and think I knew she would be great to talk with. In this episode we discuss: How what we consume affects our calm and joy Where and why our thinking around food goes astray Toxic diet culture What interception is and how it can help us to understand and nourish ourselves better Resources: Get your free goodies in the free resource library here This conversation was first aired on my new radio show – The Calm & Joy show on Yowah Radio – on every Sunday 4-6pm UK time, find out more here You can connect with Rose White on Instagram here or on her website here If you enjoy the podcast I'd love you to leave a review on iTunes so that others can find it too If you value what I share in the podcast, and elsewhere, you can buy me a virtual cuppa here

This episode is all about PLAY! Laughter Facilitator, Katie White, joins me for a conversation about her playful approach to wellbeing techniques. She believes that if this approach was adopted in more schools, children would be better equipped when they are faced with difficult emotions or situations. And that teachers would also have more ways of responding to the needs of different children. A few of the things we discuss:- Using a scale with children to help them to identify + recognise their anxiety. - Using role play as a tool to help children play out their fears and take back control- Cultivating mindfulness practices in games and group activities so children can practise and strengthen their ability to reach a level of calm - Creating a safe space for children to fully express their emotions, through high energy games, improv, and therapeutic laughter techniques.  Find out more about Katie and her work at https://thebestmedicine.co.uk/Head to https://classyoga.com for free yoga and mindfulness resources

I was so excited to have Gentle Nutrition and Lifestyle Coach Rose White chat to me for the podcast as I've long been an admirer of her no-nonsense nutrition talk (along with hilarious general life chats) on Instagram stories. When it comes to food and nutrition Rose really knows her stuff. She puts it in an easy to understand way - not dumbed down but super clear and accessible - and relates it to our actual lives. In Create Shift S2,Ep2 Rose and I chat a lot about intuitive eating and what Rose's four pillars of health. I learned a lot from this chat, especially about sugar - listen to me get totally surprised near the end of our conversation about that. I hope you find this episode both informative and supportive, wherever you are on your nutrition journey. Full show notes at being-change.com. (http://www.being-change.com)

Interview with Krazy George, possibly the first professional cheerleader who began appearing at Oakland Atheletic's games in the 1980s.TRANSCRIPTSpeaker 1:[inaudible] [inaudible] Speaker 2:you're listening to KALX Berkeley 90.7 FM, university of California and listener supported radio. And this is method to the madness coming at you from the Public Affairs Department here at Calex dedicated to celebrating the innovative spirit of the bay area. I'm your host, Allen Huizar. And today we are honored. Speaker 3:I have [00:00:30] crazy George with us. Hey, crazy. George was out. You said my name. I like that last stop. Let's talk. Let's talk. So we have crazy Georgians studio. Crazy. George is famous for a lot of things, but the number one thing I think you're famous for is being the world's first and longest tenured and only full time cheerleader is, I like your title. You gave it. It's perfect. Yes, right. Summed it up perfectly. I am the only person probably in the world that makes [00:01:00] his job, makes his living cheering for teams, getting people to cheer for the team. That's what I do. And they'd pay me enough to make living. Nice. So let's talk about how you get started as a professional cheerleader. You were a sent, you went to San Jose State, is that right? That's right. Mighty San Jose state test. So what, what started to draw you to cheering? Speaker 3:Like was it something that you had always done or was it in college? How did you get started now? I was pretty quiet person but my best friend don bogged and brought a drum and a bugle to a [00:01:30] football game and I couldn't play the bugle cause that takes talent. So I started playing the drum and started pounding on it and all the students at San Jose state started following me and him. And by the end of the football season, I was just sitting in the stands. Everybody was following me. So the cheerleaders asked me to go out. So I went out and they elected me cheerleader the next year and I was a pathetic cheerleader cause I couldn't remember the routines and the words at the same time, I was really bad. So I went off on my [00:02:00] own. I started doing my own little thing with my drum, not everybody following me. Speaker 3:And over the years I just started branching out to pro teams. They loved it. They started hiring me and in 1975 after teaching for four years, I quit teaching. I had to quit those four kids. I was warping their minds. Yeah, you'd probably, screaming on a field is a little bit more of a appropriate place for you and that's right. Well, I want to ask about a lot of things, but you said that the cheerleaders, you couldn't remember [00:02:30] their kind of traditional attorney, you're like a disruptor. You're not like a normal chiller. You call yourself a cheerleader, but you weren't doing the cheerleading routines. How did they take that when you went off on your own? Well, that was the good part. I'm, since I couldn't really fit in with a squad, it was better I worked by myself or off to the side where I could get all the students and the alumni involved in the game. Speaker 3:And so that's how he sort of honed my style. And then from then, then on I was invited to go do an Oakland seals game for [00:03:00] the NHL years ago and I did one game for, for the fun of it. I was invited by a hockey team, a baseball team, went up with them and I got the whole crowd screaming. Nobody knew me. And at the end of the game, um, everybody was, was talking about me. And the next day in the paper, it was a big article on me. Nice. And one of the players said, if he comes back, I'd give him a ticket. So I called him up, he gave me a ticket. I went to another game producer and I was a regular at the Oakland Seals, [00:03:30] hockey games, Oakland seals. Where did they play? They played there in the coliseum where the warriors play a, it was great. Speaker 3:So you, um, so you were at San Jose state where you kind of found this passion. It sounds like you went, you diverted for a teaching for a little while. What were you teaching? I dumb murdered. Where were you teaching? I was teaching very little. Those poor sleep problems. The subject matter I taught wood shop, metal shop and electronics. Oh, okay. I see what shops make sense. So, um, you, uh, [00:04:00] you came back at San Jose state, you did a little Oakland schools, but wasn't it like the big place you got discovered was that the earthquakes? Is that, yes, that was, that was the first pro team I ever worked for except the open seals, which weren't paying me. They weren't paying you. So you got, when you got to check out the earthquakes. Yes. I went in there and they actually called me up and they said, would you like to open up the season for us and be with us for some of the Games? Speaker 3:And I said, well, sure, I'd love it. And in essence he said, well, how much do you want to get paid? And I said, well, how about 35 bucks a game? [00:04:30] And yes, they gave me 35 bucks a negation asked for more. Well, I did. After about three days, I'm realizing maybe I should ask for more. This crowd reaction was the greatest crowd reaction you could ever see in your life. It just revolutionized soccer up until that point. That was nobody growing over 7,000 people. A game for professional soccer. That game first game 16,000 and they were mayhem there. The fans became fanatics and like [00:05:00] one, well it's not quarters in there, but before the first half everybody was going nuts and I was on full time with that team. Who was, what year was that? 1974 first year. The quakes that I started, I'm still with the earthquakes and I'm opening up their new stadium on the 22nd of March. Wow. Did you say 1974 74 that is for those guys to the math. That's 40 plus years I scares. Yes. Yeah. That's amazing. So your first professional gig of 35 bucks a game. [00:05:30] It was for the earthquakes and then I think I read somewhere that Lamar Hunt. Yeah. [inaudible] Speaker 3:Kansas City chiefs know this is the NFL. The big boys, big boys. He saw you whip this crowd into a frenzy. I see that he saw me doing this earthquake game. The first game. He couldn't believe the reaction that it was his league there. Earthquakes were part of his league. This was not the mls. This is an old league. Right. What the name of that [inaudible] I think what a memory guy. [00:06:00] Yeah, it's amazing. So he saw me there and somehow over the next year he said, I would really like to see George at a football game at Kansas City. And the manager were arranged it and I went in and this was a greatest. And now I'm actually with a really glamorous team. The Kansas City chiefs. Yeah, I'd go in unannounced. Unknown. Nobody knew me. Arrowhead was, it was arrow. It was, wow. It was 60,000 people, 60 70,000 people. Speaker 3:[00:06:30] I went in before the first quarter. I started working the crowd. By the first quarter I had shares going anywhere. By the first half I had back and forth. Kansas City. Oh No. Casey Gay. See back and forth across the stadium. They couldn't believe it. The whole game. They stayed off. Seven 60,000 people stayed and they lost 45 to nothing and wow. And they still stayed in Lamar? I couldn't believe it. He said, when we have a game like this, nobody's here [00:07:00] at the end of the game. And they stayed. I want you full time. Wow. So you got hired full time, full time for the whole season for them. Wow. So you had a $35 per game and in the soccer, what would you be? Well now it went up to 500 a day. Wow. That was good. And that's pretty sweet. Yes. So you're starting to see, you're like, wow, I can, is this the first time when you're like, I could do this for a living? Speaker 3:Well, it started off a little earlier than that. When the [inaudible], the St Louis Blues called me back in like 1972 [00:07:30] and offered me a full time contract. This guy was like a renaissance guy. He owned the blues. He saw me at the, at the Oakland Seals Games. He thought it was so great. He wanted to hire me, he wanted me to quit teaching, come there, and he was going to pay me 12,000 bucks to do the 40 home games. I was making 9,000 a year full time. [inaudible] Lau. I couldn't believe it. So he made the offer, but it had to be in, can it only would it go [00:08:00] out and the offer would be effective if the Oakland seals folded? They were folding my, they were kept there for two more years. And both years you made the offer? Third Year came around, I was ready to go. I was ready to quit teaching and he got ill. Speaker 3:And you stopped working with the, uh, St Louis Blues. So I lost out of that, but it gave me the idea that somebody might pay me that much. So how'd you get to the first kind of, did you ever get a gig where it was like a whole season? Like after the Kansas [00:08:30] City? That was, was that for the chiefs? Did you do the whole, and the Kansas Cassidy, she's already the same time. The Colorado Rockies ice hockey hired me. The BC lions, Canadian football hired me. And that was all in 1975 76. So I was making enough money. I could quit teaching. Nice. So we're talking to crazy George who is the world's only full time professional cheerleader here on [inaudible] at professional male model. I like to think of myself like that. I'm sorry, I forgot that part. Okay. This is a method to the medicine. Speaker 3:KLX Berkeley 90.7 [00:09:00] FM. I'm your host deleon Huizar and so George, you got this crazy idea that you could do this for a living. Now I have a question. First of all, you've talked a lot about different sports. Is there a different tactics that you use in different sports? Actually not really. I act like a fe and wants to react. That's why I'm successful when I go into a game. Well maybe it wasn't that 45 and nothing Kansas City chiefs game that I've did [00:09:30] first, but I do the as many fan cheers as the fans want and I react like a fan wants to. I just stand up. The secret is I stand up, I turn around, I look at the feds, they look down and say, Hey, must be our leader. Cause I'm looking at them and said in the field, well you also have a loud drum that helps. Speaker 3:Well, I don't want to admit it, but 90% of my success is my drum. Don't give away all the secrets right here is the secret. Actually, without the drum getting people's [00:10:00] attention, I would have never been affected. That's my, my secret. I hit that drum. Everybody looks down at me. I wait for the action to die down so I can make them do what I want to do. They understand what I want to do. I get totally attention. I wait for the moment when the cheer should be done. I do that. Your everybody reacts. How do you get, I get like 99% reaction from the fans. So, um, you, you say that the, it's really, it sounds like it's like, um, you're locked into kind of like a vibe with [00:10:30] the fans. It's like it doesn't matter what the sport is, you're kind of playing back for them. Speaker 3:What they want to do. Right. And every sport is pretty similar except for the basketball. It's a tough sport for me to work because the action never stops. It's just up and down up there and they score like every 20 seconds. So with every 20 seconds, if I had to do a cheer, I would die at the end of the game. So basketball's a little tough for me to work. But all the other sports, they are just great. There's a lot of stoppage of the action, [00:11:00] you know, the, in the huddles, whatever they're doing, baseball, they're warming up. It's just great. So I can get in the cheers I need to get in. So what about um, the cheers themselves or is it more, are you like a like, um, you know, a improvisational master of just coming to you or do you come and prepare? Speaker 3:Like you have some cheers you're going to do no matter what? No matter what, I never practice. I never think about it. That was great. From the time I started that first game at San Jose State [00:11:30] with my drum and that my partner handed me. It was just a natural sense, I think. I don't know why I had it. I'm a fan, I guess, of sports, but you know, I just knew when to cheer, when not to cheer, what type of chairs, and I just made 'em up, never think about him. I'm watching the game. I'm thinking about the game. I'm looking at the action. I go, what type of shirt do we need here? And it just comes to me. I do the, it's always the right chair. It's always appropriate, never off colored. I've never done it off cover cheering my life. And, and [00:12:00] another secret why I'm successful is most of these other people that have come along and that in the later years, they get to these outlandish outfits. Speaker 3:They look like they're from Mars sometimes. Well, people don't want to cheer from a guy from Mars. They want to cheer. For me, a human know who that guy, he looks human and not, well maybe not quite human, but close. So they go, oh Geez, George is one of us. And He, they see me sweating. They, they see I'm working harder than the players, man. I get comments from the [00:12:30] fans the third quarter they'll go, George, you're working harder than the players. You're sweating. I sweat so much during the game. So I do see like the Jean shorts seem to be the signature look for you. Is that, is that like a, it had a signature is my signature and I had my Levi shorts on for the last 50 years. I think cheering, always wear the same old raggedy cutoff shorts. Yup. Nice. Okay. Speaker 3:So, um, let's talk about, you know, this [00:13:00] show's about innovation and of course being the first full time mail filtering cheerleader in the world is innovation enough, but you also created maybe the signature crowd move. Now I know it's a linear contention. We don't have to go there, but I'm going to accredit it to you. You, yes, I have it accredited by s, what is it called? New York Times credited me when they credited the paper of record is accredited. Crazy George the way ESPN. ESPN. So the wave [00:13:30] you invented, the way that I invented, the way I gotta die, the way my boat I invented at the Oakland A's, New York Yankee playoff game, October 15th, 1981. When Billy Martin was the manager, I literally bought the building longer. So you were there as a playoff game. People were excited. A's Yankees. Now, how'd you, how'd you come up with this idea of coordinating these like 50,000 people in the stadium? Speaker 3:There was 47,000 fans [00:14:00] and unfortunately for the other places that I actually was doing a pre wave, I was doing waves at other places. Fine. Fortunately there were smaller practice with national TV. There wasn't a lot of witnesses, so I don't, I really could take credit even earlier than that. But the Oakland A's game, I have it on video three separate times. Billy Martin was here, but Joe Garagiola was the Nancy announcer who's famous announcer and he, uh, he had testifies that was the first and best [00:14:30] wave he's at, he's ever, ever saw. So that's why I say that's the day I invented. But it took a process of about four years starting with a three section shear of San Jose state. Okay. Each section of the student body would stand up and just sell San Jose state. And from that idea, as as the years went by as a professional cheerleader, I had a lot of opportunity to do these three section chairs at different places, changing the name. Speaker 3:And finally I got to the Colorado Rockies [00:15:00] and I had to go Rockies, go chair three sections and it was looking good and a section over there wanting to get involved a little. So I tried to do go Rockies, go Rockies four sections and the first section wanted to do it and it kept going a little bit. And from there I said, well it's too complicated going, go Rockies go. So I just say stand up and yell, go. Yeah. So back then I was thinking of it more like the goat share, but they just go, go in. And when I started that and went all the way around the [00:15:30] Colorado Rockies arena, and so that really was about as close as to a wavy she'd get. Unfortunately. And it was, they loved it. But the Colorado Rockies only drew about 5,000 people in a 15,000 seat arena. Speaker 3:So it was very few opportunities to do it in. It was never televised. I never had it on video. So that's the idea of where it started. But the color from there I came, I brought it back and started to Oakland. That's the day I invented. [00:16:00] So at the A's game, um, how hard was it to communicate to the fans? Cause you now everybody knows how to do away. That's right. How did, how did you like telepathically tell 47,000 people to stand up at the right times? A lot of coordination involved in a wave. Yes. See, I know the power of booing. Okay. So I went to three sections and got them organized and by then I'd already been doing the wave at high school rallies. What was continuous, they didn't have, they didn't have aisles, so I had to just [00:16:30] do it continuously. So I knew what I wanted. Speaker 3:So I went to these three second, I said, well you guys stand up. And as they, as it comes around the next day, I want you to stand up. Then I went to the next section. I was screaming and yelling and then I went back to them and said, they understand what you're going to do. You stand up. Then you guys stand up. Then you guys, while I'm yelling so loud at him and I'm preparing this and this all started like in the fourth inning, but I hadn't started yet, but I told him what I wanted, but then I said, when we start this people down there, [00:17:00] we'll not know what they're supposed to do or even see it coming so when it dies and it will die, boom. And so they are already, and I waited for a break of the action and you had to wait for a foul ball or something to give a couple of, you know, 30 40 seconds of break. Speaker 3:So it came and I don't know what the break of action was, but I got the three sessions going, I they started, it would've been since I was yelling so loud at these three to get them organized. I'd say the next four or five could hear me and they sort of got [00:17:30] the idea what they wanted to do. So I started, went about seven, eight sections and died right out. And I had my three or four sections blue and it was a great bu I started a second time. This time it went all the way around. I started way out in the left field and I started it. It came around and went all the way to behind home plate and died again. Now everybody booed and this was a great book. Now everybody in the state have figured out, [00:18:00] oh, we see what he wants. Speaker 3:Started the third time. And it just started rolling and all three decks did it. It was marvelous. They kept coming around with all the way to the outfield all the way back, gets back to upstanding. Everybody in the three sections stands up in unison and applauds. And I'm going, no, you don't get some times to this. It's supposed to gave going. So I started the fourth time, all three deck scape and when it came by, my section [00:18:30] was like a locomotive. I mean it just ripped on by kept long going, went around about seven, eight times. Cloud Whitten nuts. Joe Garagiola was up there and the booth going crazy. Get that on video, that thing. And they didn't know how to film with all the cameraman. The first couple of shots you see the wave all you see as a couple of people, the far right of the screen sort of sitting down. Speaker 3:Everybody else is just sitting cause they're behind it. But they finally got a good shot of it. Nice. [00:19:00] So we're the, we're talking to crazy George here on Kale expert cleans method to the madness. I'm murals telling Huizar and he's telling us about how he invented the wave as the first glorious appearance of the wave on this planet. And now it's pretty much all. Everybody does it everywhere. Oh, everywhere. Everything. Everywhere is the world and the world calls it the Mexican wave. What? Yes, the whole world. It's not the crazy wave. And I have a Seattle trying to claim it, but they did it two weeks. They don't. I finally have them shutting up most of the time, but it's hard to take on [00:19:30] the world. But it went down to the World Cup in an 86 a Mexico had it and they'd already seen the wave up here. Speaker 3:They took it down and they were doing it. All the venues in Mexico for the World Cup game, the whole world saw it. Now the whole world calls it the Mexican wave. So in the A's game, what did the players do as a playoff game? Was like a really high pressure game and all of a sudden the crowd goes nuts. Been for nothing on the field today. Did, was there any comments afterwards? Oh, I mean, the fans loved it. I mean, I, I think I've had 50,000 [00:20:00] fans come at me. Say they were there when it was only 47,000 week. Oh, I was there George. And we saw it. It was the greatest thing. Cool. Well, um, that's like your probably your signature cheer. Like [inaudible]. Everybody knows it, but it's not my signature cheer for when I know I've had the fans in my hand and I know I've succeeded. Speaker 3:That's my back and forth cheer across the stadium with I do KC if it's Kansas City and [00:20:30] I the first, the first Houston oil game I ever did, but Adams hired me because he saw how great I was in Kansas City and he said, George, he says, how long is it going to take you to get Houston Oilers back and forth the game? How many games? And I said, I'll do it the first game. No. And then he says, he says, well, I'm going to get a microphone for you so you can tell everybody. I said, I don't use a microphone. How's it asked you? Have you used a bullhorn or anything? No, not until the last couple of years. [00:21:00] I use a Mike some of the time up till like five years. I never used a microphone. Just your disappear, my voice. But then I says, he said, oh, the advertise you. Speaker 3:I want to advertise. Everybody knows you're here. And I said, no, I don't need advertising. I'll come in unknown. I don't want any microphone. Why? What, how? What do you think about it that way? What? Well, you don't want any help. What does it more way? No, it's, it's, maybe I'm a coward because I don't want the burden of everybody expecting something from me and [00:21:30] I just go in and they really, they don't know who I am. They're just sitting there and all at once, or is this crazy guy in this thing? There's a crazy psi in the next session and an hour later I've hit 40 sections and everybody's going, who is this guy? And they're not thinking about following me yet. Maybe for the first 2040 minutes I'm getting each little section cheering, but every, every section I do, I get a chair. The next section I get allowed to cheer. Speaker 3:Next session allowed a chair next to the point where I can now tie in four or five [00:22:00] sections to a really loud share for the third of the place. And I keep getting work in every section everywhere. So I'm up close and personal. I'm threatening their lives and then it gets to the point, I tell one side, I'm going to the other side and I'm going to yell, Kay, what do you think you're supposed to say? And I, and about 20 minutes later on the other side of the Sam setting up, we're yellingK , but of course not that many people on the c sides ready to go. But once I do, theK is [00:22:30] so loud and then like pointed the other side, I'm waiting, it doesn't come back very loud. The boom comes here and they all boom. When the next one I do k when I point to that, see it's twice as loud as the k and they go nuts over. Speaker 3:But once it starts, it just adds energy to each side. They want to outdo each other's competition in the stands and then I know the team is going to bring me back. All right. So that's, that's the victory you've got. Um, [00:23:00] the wave is the signature thing, but it's really the call and response when you feel like you really oh yeah. Once I rated that back and forth share across the state, they've never, nobody's ever, ever even saw something like that ever. I mean, and now they're seeing this huge, massive response from all the fans and the owner of the team usually comes up after the game says, Oh, want to hire you? Well, let me ask you about, that's like the height. What about like as a professional cheerleader, you've probably had some lows. Like what was, can you give us a story of [00:23:30] you tried something you thought it was like the greatest idea ever? Speaker 3:I know. Just like you couldn't get them to do it and nope. Nope. Never happened. Really. I, I've had one out of hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of games I've done, uh, over a teams, well over a hundred teams, but some of the teams I've done 50, 60 times. So I don't know what that multiplies out to, but I have been lots of games. I just never added them up. But I did add up. I've appeared in front of 25 million [00:24:00] fans in front of them. Wow. Out on TV. So it's been a bit more TV. I mean, you've been to playoff games and lots of people have seen you. Right? Wait, I lost track. What was I answering? A quick question. Was I answering well, you said I stumped you. I asked you, have you ever flopped to say, oh well I did have one bad experience and w I still want to kill the group. Speaker 3:It was a, I don't know what the team was. It was a football team and they're bringing me in. I'm going in the same way. I always go in on announce unknown, no microphone. [00:24:30] And some PR guy comes up to me before the game says, you know what, we get George, we've got a big ad campaign going and we're gonna have 12 lookalikes like you carry in drums and then we're going to give them a ward. Who's the, who's the best crazy George. So they got 12 guys looking like me running around and nobody's ever, ever saw me work to start with. I've never been there and I could have killed this guy. Bad idea. It was a terrible idea. And I at the end of the game, [00:25:00] the only solace I have is a, say they awarded some guy, you know, the prize for being the best crazy George look like. Speaker 3:And I had like 10 people standing by me when they awarded. They said, Whoa, crazy George, you're better than them. Why didn't you, you should have got the award. They were pathetic. They were great and I wasn't great. That was so much distraction. That was me. A failure. You're, you know, you're an artist. You can't, they shouldn't be trying to mess with your process. But that was one game out of thousands I've done. Okay, well let me ask a [00:25:30] different question. What's the most dangerous cheer you done? I was looking at some videos of you like balancing and like have you, seems like you're pushing the envelope a little bit. Is there any anyone that's a dangerous thing that got dangerous was my entrances. I made a lot of entrances when I got with the San Jose earthquakes. Um, I started doing, uh, working with Dick Berg, the general manager. Speaker 3:He says, well, want you to bring the ball in the first game? Our opening game in 74 so he had me come, coming in, the ambulance hitting in the back and the whole, the whole crowd [00:26:00] went dead silent years. This ambulance coming in, pulls up in front of the player's bench. They think some player, it died. It's the first day and they didn't know what was going on. They pull a Gurney out, I'm under the blanket. I pull it off and they go nuts. And that's how the game started. Then I had to topic, yeah, every game on a helicopter. One day it's a copter was fun and I'd belt the buckle, but I'd stand on the outside rail. But it was like us standing out you that I came in and Ferrari's. I came in, I came in with a lie and now this is why it gets [00:26:30] absurd. Speaker 3:I came in with a full grown for 150 pound lion and the trainer we get to, we'd get the center field that trainer trips a lion attacks him. No, this, she has life long friends. There are earthquakes. No, no. This was in Dallas, that Dallas Tornado, and now underneath the line he is bleeding. He's getting mauled. I'm 10 feet from an old in my drum and I, when I was with the lion trainer, he told me, never, ever hit your drum around [00:27:00] the lion. I said, good advice. Well, now he's underneath me, underneath the lion and out from underneath that line, I hear the stupidest comment I ever heard. He yells, damn off me. He can't be talking to me. I thought, and I look around the only other guy on the field, and then he had the gall to say it again, get him off me. Speaker 3:Well, what could I do? I took my drum and I went and the lion stopped eating him to try to eat you. This spun right [00:27:30] around and looked at me. I did not like this, but I had to do psych. I don't know if I had to do it, but I hit it when it took like four or five seconds. And by the end the other lion trainer that was off the saw what was happening and by the time that all happened he had already come to the seat and grabbed the other line and helped the guy off and he had to go to the hospital cause he was bleeding well. So you're also, we'll add that to the resume line line trainer nine Tamer. I was a very good line train for four seconds. All right, so [00:28:00] we're talking to crazy George here on KLX Berkeley. Speaker 3:You've got a couple more minutes. So we talked about the earthquakes. So it's coming full circle. You're starting the New Year of Christening the new stadium, right? What's going on with a lot of things going? Yes. I'm Chris sitting in the new stadium on March 22nd that's their first game at home. We're going to christen that. I'm going to be the Grand Marshall of the Rose White and blue parade in San Jose with 35,000 people on the 4th of July. Nice. Yeah, they asked me to be the Grand Marshall. [00:28:30] I'm an, I'm practicing my queen wave and I've been doing corporate meetings. I've been, and my gut, my book, God, you got to talk about my book. So how did this book come about? Oh, my book, my book is called Crazy George. Still crazy after all these cheers and all the fans, just Kevin asking me to write it. And then I did have a controversy with the Seattle about the wave and I wanted to document that in the book. Speaker 3:So I documented that. And then also from writing the book, I found [00:29:00] out I was a huge factor in the 12th man factor for the Santos, for the NFL Seahawks ball for the Seahawks. So I had that strand. But yeah, I, I've loved the book. I took it. I, in fact, I don't know if I'm prejudice, but I think it's maybe the greatest sports book ever written. It could be. It's likely excellent cover. I have it in my hands here. And thankfully, you know, you've cheered for a lot of teens, but you kept it real with the A's or that's who you're representing on the cover. So thank you. [inaudible] [00:29:30] because I invented their wave there and a lot of the articles are about the wave where a lot of book is about the waivers. And so I thought that was very appropriate. I had the greatest time with the A's, the Haas family. Speaker 3:Kepi just treated me great. It was fabulous. So it's called crazy George, the inventor of the wave still crazy after all these cheers. Can you find it on Amazon or something like that? That's on Amazon and it's on a kindle and it's on my website. Crazy. george.com and if you don't look at my website, I'll slash your tires. Yeah. [00:30:00] So there you have a threat from one and only crazy George. It starts with a k. That's how you spell a z. Y. That's right. She's never been a teacher. Yeah. Well you're a shop teacher, so, right. So crazy. george.com yes, that's my website. And then it just like it in the book. I have a lot of pictures on it. Yeah. And lots of pictures. There's videos, there's some really great stuff up there. And so I really wanna thank you for coming in today. Speaker 3:Crazy. George was great to meet you and hear the stories about your 40 plus years of being [00:30:30] the world's only full time professional cheerleader. I like that they got myself professional male model and professional [inaudible] and nominee from people's sexiest man alive, self nominated. And um, that's all the time we have for today. Um, and it's going to be the 35th anniversary. Actually, just a mention of the wave being created this next summer. You can go to the ace and love to go to the ace 35th anniversary. So Mr. Wolf, if you're here, [00:31:00] if you're listening to this, let's get on that. Get Crazy George out to the Colosseum and you are listening to methods of madness on KALX Berkeley 90.7 FM. Thanks again for coming in and crazy Jordan. Everybody have a great Friday. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The Newsletter for the City of Ann Arbor, Mich. • May 2012  • Volume 6 • Number 5 City administrator presents proposed FY 2013 budget to City CouncilOn April 16, City Administrator Steve Powers presented his recommended Fiscal Year 2013 budget. City Council will consider the proposal during the next few weeks and vote on May 21.Budget overviewThe FY 2013 budget is the second year of a two-year budget plan. While the city administrator's proposed budget is similar to the spending plan approved by City Council last year, adjustments were made to respond to current City Council priorities and community needs.Among the highlights:Planned reductions in police and fire staffing are eliminated.A police recruit program will supplement sworn officers and assist with public safety concerns in downtown. Park mowing will move from the current 19-day cycle to a 14-day cycle. Seasonal park monitors will be added.Street repair and resurfacing work will be at an all-time high.These investments in services and infrastructure do not compromise the city's financial policies.

The city administrator's proposed FY 2013 budget recommends the same fiscal discipline in the coming fiscal year. Recurring expenditures are funded by recurring revenues.
