Sam Beckett's path to Penn State Wrestling has been anything but ordinary. Originally from Harleysville, Pennsylvania, Beckett started wrestling in first grade, later made the difficult choice to leave soccer behind, went to Stanford, battled through hip surgery, and eventually transferred home to chase his biggest goals with Penn State.In this quick interview, Beckett talks about his early wrestling memories, the coaches who shaped him, why Penn State was the right place for him, what makes Cael Sanderson's program special, and how he wants fans to remember him: not as the biggest recruit, but as someone who worked, persevered, and left everything on the mat.He also shares a side fans may not know — he's in a PhD program, planning for med school, and still chasing the goal of becoming a national champion.Chapters:0:00 Meet Sam Beckett0:15 Falling in love with the sport0:34 Why high school wrestling was special0:49 What makes Coach Cael Sanderson special1:07 Penn State wrestling culture1:27 The coach who changed his path1:50 When he knew he wanted to wrestle in college2:02 Why he transferred to Penn State2:35 PhD school2:49 Goals for next seasonFOLLOW STATE MEDIA HERE:► TWITTER | ⁠https://twitter.com/StateMediaPSU⁠► TIKTOK | ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@statemediapsu⁠► INSTAGRAM | ⁠https://www.instagram.com/statemediapsu/⁠► YOUTUBE | ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@StateMediaPSU?sub_confirmation=1⁠► FACEBOOK | https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61558183472272#pennstate #weare #happyvalleySam Beckett, Sam Becket, Penn State Wrestling, Penn State Nittany Lions, PSU Wrestling, Penn State wrestlers, college wrestling, NCAA wrestling, Big Ten wrestling, Cael Sanderson, Coach Cael, Stanford wrestling, Penn State transfer, wrestling interview, wrestling motivation, wrestler story, NCAA champion goals, Anthony Cassar, Penn State athletics, Nittany Lions wrestling, wrestling recruiting, high school wrestling, Pennsylvania wrestling, college athlete interview, student athlete, med school athlete, PhD athlete, wrestling underdog, wrestling comeback, hip surgery wrestling

On the latest installment of the podcast, Dion Baia and J. Blake step into the Quantum Leap Accelerator on a mission to travel back to May 5, 1993, and right a very specific wrong: the unjust negative reaction to the Quantum Leap series finale, “Mirror Image.”The guys begin by unpacking the show's creation, its brilliance, the rules of leaping, and some of the series' most memorable moments. They then dive into the controversial series finale—analyzing the story, the characters, the dialogue, and the creative choices, and then theorize about what it all means. Dion explains a few interesting fan theories. Blake describes his Mandela Effected memories about the episode. They discuss the recently discovered alternate ending and where the show could've gone had it continued, and then console each other over the heartbreaking conclusion the show ended up with—each describing what they think happened to Dr. Sam Beckett (or is it Becket?). So put on your white leotards, step into the Accelerator with the fellas, and get ready as Ziggy and Gooshie send Dion and Blake back in time to explore one of television's greatest series and most controversial finales, on this detailed and philosophical edition of SATURDAY NIGHT MOVIE SLEEPOVERS!!!

In an even briefer tribute, we dive into the TV mega-hit that was QUANTUM LEAP in this side stroll into pop culture.   Would the reboot show had later featured a return by Scott Bakula's Sam Beckett?   What was the science like in this adventure show?   Is the theme song instantly recognizable?   Were the sports episodes surprisingly mediore?   And why everyone should see the legal argument episodes!     SONG USED: "Quantum Leap Theme Song" by Mike Post

The Richley boys use a scientist spin kick to unlock a universal truth and a master plan. Not before, however, they discuss The Golden Girls' final episode, Sam Beckett's denim choices and possibly the lamest Two-Minute Mystery. Feast your ears!

Reflection on Non-Judgment: The conversation shifted to a check-in on the previous week's practice of not judging, which was generally positive, prompting Soo Kim to ask for clarification on the difference between judgment and discernment. Jevon Perra initially requested a pause for the conversation to organize, noting Denise Darlene's quick start, but the discussion soon moved forward, focusing on these key spiritual concepts.Distinction Between Judgment and Discernment: Denise Darlene proposed that discernment and wisdom are the same, suggesting that judgment stems from fear and lacks peace, often involving labels and coming from the ego. Wisdom and discernment, conversely, come from love and result in peace. Jevon Perra cautioned that a form of discernment could still be rooted in fear, using the concept to create separation or a feeling of superiority.Peace as an Indicator for Wisdom: Denise Darlene maintained that if guidance is coming from a place of peace, it is wisdom guided by the Holy Spirit, which is a core concept in the Course in Miracles. Jevon Perra agreed that the presence of peace, love, and joy serves as an indicator of alignment, while experiences outside of peace, such as anger or frustration, signal alignment with the ego. Jevon Perra shared a personal anecdote of growing up in a religious family that misused "discernment" to enforce fear, highlighting that the resulting lack of peace was a clear sign they needed to leave the environment, demonstrating true discernment.Discussion on the Show Quantum Leap: Jevon Perra used the plot of the television show Quantum Leap as a metaphor for consciousness and purpose, where the character Sam Beckett leaps into different bodies to accomplish missions they do not remember. Brian Genovese, who loves the show, clarified that the mission is to set right what once went wrong, and once accomplished, the character leaps to the next adventure. Jevon Perra connected the show's themes to the idea that we are consciousness having an experience, which Brian Genovese agreed is a much deeper concept than people realize.Peace as a Guide and Awareness of Attachment: Denise Darlene restated the initial card's message that truth will correct all errors and that peace is the guide indicating alignment with the Holy Spirit. Jevon Perra noted that they can quickly tell when they are not in peace, which is always due to some attachment or idea of separation they are unwilling to let go of. They affirmed that the work involves bringing in and finding the truth to create the experience of peace.Clarification of "Truth": Soo Kim challenged the phrase "self-truth," suggesting that the focus should be on capital "T" Truth, representing non-duality, oneness, and unity, which is the voice of the Holy Spirit. Denise Darlene agreed that this pursuit of Truth often feels like death or betrayal, but confirms that this feeling is an indication they are on the right track.Reading from Manual for Teachers on Gentleness: The group decided to continue reading the "Manual for Teachers" from the Course in Miracles, focusing on the section "Gentleness". Soo Kim read that harm is impossible for God's teachers because it is the outcome of judgment and the denial of learning, making the Holy Spirit's lessons impossible to learn. Jevon Perra related the concept to a play, suggesting that consciousness is neither the hero nor the villain, and that believing in harming or saving is an attachment.The Strength of Gentleness: Soo Kim continued the reading, emphasizing that God's teachers are wholly gentle because gentleness is the strength needed for salvation to become easy. Jevon Perra described gentleness through the analogy of kindly waking a child from a nightmare, where the gentle voice of the Holy Spirit calls them out of the illusion. Jevon Perra offered a personal example of practicing gentleness in a relationship through non-resistance, which involved maintaining a state of "No, honey, it's okay" to diffuse conflict.Gentleness, Non-Resistance, and the Pain Body: Brian Genovese affirmed that Jevon Perra's non-resistance was successful because it denied the other person's ego the energy it sought to feed its "pain body," a concept also discussed by Eckhart Tolle. Denise Darlene added that kindness, not judgment or punishment, is what leads to repentance, echoing Christian scripture and the power of non-resistance in situations of conflict. Denise Darlene recounted an experience with their critical mother, noting that quiet non-engagement eventually exhausts the criticism, making them a less favorable person to complain to.The Choice Between Separation and Christ's Vision: Jevon Perra summarized the two ways of seeing the world: the world of separation, sin, and guilt (ego's perception), and Christ's vision (heaven on earth), which sees abundance, connection, and love. Jevon Perra stated that one cannot hold both visions simultaneously and that giving up the "games" of separation is necessary to see the wholeness that is already present. Denise Darlene emphasized that the difficult work of letting go of these egoic games is the difference between awakening and staying asleep, which involves the critical step of disciplining the mind to replace lies with truth.The Journey of Awakening and the "Happier Dream": Jevon Perra questioned the duration required for awareness, referencing a quote from I Am That that enlightenment could be instant upon belief. Denise Darlene shared their current status as having achieved a "happier dream" but not yet fully embodying the truth, acknowledging that they are closer than ever. Denise Darlene cautioned against the "holy instant system" without prior ego dismantling, noting that their son's experience of God's presence resulted in a painful psychosis upon returning to the body, necessitating a subsequent learning path.Experiences as Lessons and the Use of Medicine Journeys: The group discussed the idea that experiences labeled as "bad" are often lessons chosen by a greater part of the self. Jevon Perra expanded this to include anything that is resisted, including medicine journeys if used as escapism. Denise Darlene noted that their experience with medicine journeys has been for self-discovery—revealing subconscious beliefs and traumas—not for escape, and that post-journey work is still required for change. Soo Kim acknowledged that while medicine is intended for this deep work, some people use it to reinforce delusions or escape pain.Reincarnation and the Goal of the Course in Miracles: Denise Darlene inquired if the Course in Miracles discusses reincarnation, to which Jevon Perra replied that its premise is to "save time," implying the avoidance of doing the cycle of life again and again. The discussion touched upon the concept of the individual spirit returning to God like a wave merging back into the ocean, challenging the notion of maintaining individuality after death. Soo Kim noted that the concept of reincarnation is sometimes twisted in cultures like India to justify judgment or social hierarchy, calling others "stupid" due to perceived past lives.The Afterlife and Frequency of Vibration: The conversation turned to the nature of individuality after death and the "great reset button" that death provides. Jevon Perra recommended the near-death experience book Backwards by Nancy Danison, explaining that the afterlife location is determined by one's current vibrational frequency and that the choice to hold onto a low frequency can result in hellish experiences. Jevon Perra explained that one's body is a filter that lowers frequency, and after death, the frequency raises, allowing for experiences of what is called heaven, though perception can still be filtered by egoic beliefs.Conclusion on Gentleness and Non-Judgment: Denise Darlene reiterated a key takeaway from the reading: "harm is the outcome of judgment," meaning that taking offense stems from a judgment of the situation, not the neutral facts of what happened. The solution involves replacing judgment with compassion, seeing others' challenging behavior as the limited maturity of a wounded child. Jevon Perra shared a practical application of this, noting that viewing their mother as an "insane" or "crazy lady" they could help, rather than as an entitled person taking advantage of them, made the interaction bearable.Reflecting on Kindness and Empathy: Jevon Perra shared a story from their childhood about an accidental encounter at Disneyland where an adult's anger instantly turned to empathy and service upon seeing them in a wheelchair, illustrating how perception immediately shifts based on the recognized state of the other. The group affirmed the power of recognizing that others are often in a "mental wheelchair".Final Thoughts and Self-Inquiry: Denise Darlene concluded with the initial affirmation that when not experiencing peace, they are experiencing the effects of a lie, encouraging self-inquiry to discover the underlying lie or judgment. Soo Kim asked if their previous challenge to Brian Genovese about "self-truth" was a violation of gentleness, but Brian Genovese clarified that it was helpful for clarification and not perceived as judgmental. Jevon Perra ended the session by stating that they are always revealing their judgments or their love and acceptance.

Merry Christmas, wastelanders! In honor of the holiday, we're stepping back into the Hilton Star Trek Simulator and taking another leap with our old friend, Dr. Sam Beckett, in the Christmas Carol inspired episode, A Little Miracle. I'm your host and leaper, Dave, and joining me as we hand-wave away several questionable plot elements are fellow friends from the future Janna and Mike. Topics of discussion in this leap include Al's new future powers, including the ability to project building sized tv broadcasts; we stress the importance of making sure everyone is included in your Scrooge ‘Em scheme, especially the lazy eyed chestnut vendor; and finally, if you're gonna get a Tiny Tim character, make sure he's missing his front teeth and carrying around a three legged horse figurine. Be sure to rate, review and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. You can also Like Us on Facebook, Follow us on Instagram, or shoot us an email at apocalypsevideopod@gmail.com Merry Christmas, folks. From everyone here at Apocalypse Video, we wish you a safe and happy holiday with your loved ones (...unless you're a Scrooge-like character, in which case we hope your building gets taken over and renamed by a Japanese company and your underwear is missing its talcum powder!).

Okay, I'll be the first to admit when I'm wrong, so with that said, let me just say to Mr. Voorhees that everyone here at Apocalypse Video is genuinely sorry that we missed your special day, Friday the 13th, back in June. To be fair, we had a lot going on this past Summer, what with the whole “disappointing the listeners with terrible superhero movies thing”, but I know - that's no excuse. Had I known that a dream demon named Fred Krueger would summon our old pal Jason back to life from the depths of hell and join forces to make us remember their slasher antics, I probably would have put our Future is Super-Female thing on hold. But, alas…what's done is done. I'm your host, Dave, and joining me as we blast some nu-metal and watch the gore fly are fellow cinephiles and Hypnocil junkies Mike, Jackie, and Ryan. Topics of discussion in this episode include the long road it took to bring Freddy and Jason together; we wish Freddy would go back to being a lovable child killer instead of a creepy child molester; and finally, we discuss Freddy vs. Jason's place in a Post-Scream horror landscape. Be sure to rate, review and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. You can also Like Us on Facebook, or shoot us an email at apocalypsevideopod@gmail.com That'll do it for this unexpected Elm St. / Friday the 13th crossover episode. When we return, we'll be back in the spirit of the season as we take another Quantum Leap with good old Sam Beckett in the Christmas themed leap: A Little Miracle.

eason 1, Episode 8: “Play It Again, Seymour.”

In this episode of The Pure Property Podcast, co-hosts Phil Tarrant and Paul Glossop are joined by Sam Beckett to discuss the current Australian property market, focusing on interest rates, investment strategies, and market trends. The co-hosts begin the episode with a market analysis, noting that housing values rose nationally by 1.1% in October, driven by strong demand, limited supply, and high immigration. They link this trend to broader economic conditions, as the Reserve Bank of Australia recently held rates steady amid rising inflation, largely driven by increases in housing and electricity costs. The hosts caution that government initiatives, such as first home buyer grants and zoning changes, may increase demand but do little to address the underlying supply shortage. Macquarie Bank's upcoming halt on lending to trusts and companies was also discussed, with the hosts emphasising the importance of using such structures legally and strategically. Guest Sam Beckett also shares his property journey, demonstrating how disciplined planning and leveraging a stable income can build a $2 million portfolio by age 29. The conversation highlights the importance of investors remaining vigilant, considering long-term market dynamics, and making informed decisions tailored to their specific goals.

Quantum Leap: "Blood Moon"   Gavin Mevius leaps from The Mixed Reviews and into a gothic horror homage from Quantum Leap's weird final season, where Dr. Sam Beckett seems to possibly leap into a classic vampire, maybe, definitely. And while dovetailing the sci-fi series with the supernatural is a fun idea, the tonal mishmash, deus ex butler/lightning, and odd references to a gender-swapped Countess Elizabeth Bathory make this a strangely boring misstep.

Tread Perilously's new annual tradition -- looking at a new NBC series with Special Review Unit Captain Charlie Wright -- continues with the new Quantum Leap's first episode, "July 13th, 1985." Decades after Dr. Sam Beckett disappeared in the Quantum Leap accelerator, Dr. Ben Song repeats the experiment for reasons he withholds from his team and his fiancée. Waking up to a mirror image that is not his own, Ben finds himself in the body of a getaway driver in the mid 80s. Soon, his fiancée, Addison Augustine, appears to him in the form of a hologram only he can see or hear. Together, they try to put right what once when wrong in the hopes it will allow Ben to leap home. The filmography of director Thor Freudenthal gets examined as it contains some Full Peril surprises. Justin attempts to pull the premises of both Quantum Leap shows together. Erik's Uncle Junior leads to a running gag. Geography Corner centers on he LA locations failing to play Philadelphia. The name "Addison Augustine" proves a difficult addition to Quantum Leap lore. Erik calls out the new show for not using the old theme song. Charlie investigates the actor playing Addison Augustine. Other missing elements are addressed and Erik declares there are too many characters.

It's David Flora Week here on Hysteria 51. This week we are looking back at some of our favorite of David's guest appearances on the show before he took over co-hosting duties. And what better way to kick off a week of of looking back in time than with a time travel episode... Yup, John Titor!!! Original DescriptionIf time travel is possible and future humans are coming back to our era...what would they want? To kill a future despot? To make a change to the environment that saves future generations? To take back a computer from 1975 to make their time machine work properly? If you're anything like the subject of this week's show, John Titor, you went with door #3. According to his posts on the internet, John Titor traveled back to the 70s to get a special computer to save time travel. He also made a pit stop along the way in the early 00's to live with his family (and 2 year old self) and presumably post snotty messages on inane internet forums (not stand-up forums like Hysteria Nation). Sound crazy? That's the most normal part of this story. This week we do our best Sam Beckett and try to fix what went wrong with the OG Chrononaut - John Titor. Plus, John and Brent ponder the existential perils of time travel (not really - just looking for ways to make money on it). Conspiracy bot ponders the existential perils of time travel (not really - just looking for other ways to kill John and Brent). And David Flora of Blurry Photos is back in the lower 4th (he just wants to time travel to a time before he met Conspiracy Bot).

Welcome to a show that starts with a Bon Jovi misheard lyric and ends with a Wham! misdirection. In between we ask if Jeffrey Dahmer's stepmom is prettier in pink, will Sam Beckett's appearance in the Quantum Leap reboot be a tax write-off and is Estelle Getty the most cancellable person of the 80s? Plus find out which movie Paulo thought was a Garbage Pail Kids sequel. Everything we discuss in this show can be found on @That80sShowSA on Facebook. WE'RE NOW ON INSTAGRAM @That_80sshow This podcast originally plays as a radio show with music - here are the songs we spoke about and played: You give love a bad name - Bon Jovi Our lips are sealed - The Go-Go's

This episode focuses both on the original Quantum Leap series that aired on NBC from 1989-1993 and the 2022 revival series airing on NBC and Peacock. In the original series, Dr. Sam Beckett stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator and began leaping through time. In the current series, Dr. Ben Song stepped into the accelerator and well, you can see where that was headed. There are unique plot twists in the new show that feed directly from the original. At the time of this podcast, only two episodes of the new show have aired. Two extraordinary fans of the original series joined the podcast to discuss all things Quantum Leap. Sweeny Murti is a broadcaster for WFAN Radio and the host of the New York Yankees Post-Game show as well as a broadcaster for SNY. Gary Miereanu is a publicist who primarily works with Warner Bros. Animation and has been instrumental behind the scenes in putting together many episodes of this show. Follow Sweeny and Gary on social media @YankeesWFAN and @SuperPRguy.

The premise follows a team that has been looking for Dr. Sam Beckett somewhere in time, but for reasons we aren't yet aware of, Lee's character Dr. Ben Song gets trapped for the same reason as the original. There's a lot of potential here and we can't wait to see where it goes. Shua got a bit more medieval by jumping into Amazon Prime's Tolkien series Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power.

Knowing that Sam Beckett once successfully time-traveled within his own lifetime, Dr. Ben Song stepped into the Quantum Leap Accelerator...and vanished. He awoke to find himself trapped in the past, facing a mirror image that was not his own, and driven by an unknown force to change history for the better. His only guide on this journey is Addison, an observer from his own time who appears in the form of a hologram that only Ben can see and hear. And so John, Shawn, Rick, and Phillip find themselves watching Ben strive to put right what once went wrong...criticizing and praising the ups and downs of the pilot episode of Quantum Leap...and hoping each time that Ben's next Leap will be better than the last. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/that-super-fantalk-pod/message

"Oh Boy!" This week, we revisit the cult favorite, Quantum Leap.   Quantum Leap ran for 5 seasons and 97 episodes from 1989 to 1993.  Created by Don Bellisario, the show starred Scott Bakula as Dr. Sam Beckett, a time traveling scientist, who leaps into people from 1953 to 1987 to help them and correct something that went wrong in the original timeline. Dean Stockwell, who co-stars as Admiral Al Calavicci, Sam's best friend, who appears as a hologram that only Sam can see and hear.  They are aided by Gushi, the project's lead programmer, and Ziggy, a supercomputer. Despite successfully correcting the past in each episode, Sam continues to leap randomly to another place and time, "putting right what once went wrong and hoping each time that his next leap will be the leap home" And for our snack this week, Steve reviews Pop Tarts, and Megan tries a candy necklace. We talk about the cereal wars of the 1960s and the thievery that resulted in what we now know as the Pop Tart.  Did we love the science fiction, mystery, romance, comedy, drama show? Did the Pop Tarts taste like cardboard? Listen to find out!

We're back this week to discuss more of what we know about the new Quantum Leap pilot, including the recent announcement that Helen Shaver will serve as both the pilot director and Executive Producer. We also have some more inside details thanks to our source - who we are lovingly calling 'The Observer' - at NBC: Details on Ziggy and the Handlink How they're going to address Al's absence in light of Dean Stockwell's passing More hints on how the producers hope to incorporate Sam Beckett and other original characters into the new mythology Then, of course, Sam & Dennis make with some serious "fan-wank" with some speculation with the tidbits we do have. Along the way, we talk about the Handlink as the original smart phone, the 80s/90s TV trope of sassy AI computers, and a lamentation of how it only took four years after its cancellation for Knight Rider to get a reboot attempt.

We're back! And so is Quantum Leap! An official announcement dropped January 13, 2022. NBC brings back our beloved series with a continuation set 20+ years after Dr. Sam Beckett's final televised leap. We might be a little exctied. On top of that, we've been hard at work mining all our resources and reaching out to some of our contacts to bring you any and all the news that's currently available. In addition to all the official information, we talk about our hopes for the series, how we think they might tell this new story, cast expectations, and a rundown of the creative team's past work. This is a new era for the show, and we are thrilled to be back at the project and stepping into the accelerator for more thrilling adventures on Fate's Wide Wheel.

Some time in the near future of the 1990s, Dr. Sam Beckett prematurely entered the Quantum Leap accelerator himself to prove that his theory of a finite but expanding universe allowing one to time travel within their own lifetime. His theories were correct, but with the side-effect that he trades places with someone from the past, with everyone believing he's the person he has "leapt" into. He also no longer has a full recall of the details of his own life. Fortunately, the project is able to maintain contact with Sam through time by tuning into his brain waves, allowing his friend and mentor Al to appear to Sam as a hologram wherever and whenever he finds himself. Through Al, Sam can use the resources of the project, and their diva of a computer Ziggy, to help fix the lives of those who suffered in the past, and grant Sam the ability to "leap" into another life, and hopefully, one day, back home. Vinnk and Sean review the pilot, memories of the first season, how the show shaped them as impressionable young men, and go off into tangents about later seasons before reigning it back in, although (WARNING!) the end of the podcast contains spoilers about the series finale, which we have marked appropriately.

To recap the end of last week's parsha, Chukat —as B'nei Yisrael makes their way toward actually entering the Land of Israel, they have to pass through some “enemy” territory. They come across the land of the Amorites, east of the Jordan river. (So in modern-day Jordan). B'nei Yisrael sends emissaries to speak to the Amorite kings, asking for permission to simply pass through their lands, not even stopping to drink water from their wells or take produce from their fields. The Amorim refused, and so B'nei Yisrael battles the Amorim and succeed, settling their cities. The nearby country of Moab / Moav hear of this conquest and become nervous. Balak, the king of Moav, enlists a non-Jewish sorcerer / prophet named Bilaam for help. The king wants Bilaam, a powerful prophet, to curse B'nei Yisrael so they don't overtake Moav. Dignitaries of the king of Moav go to Bilaam and convey the message. G-d communicated with Bilaam through dreams, so Bilaam says, “Let me sleep on it and I'll circle back.” G-d comes to him in the dream and says, “No! Don't curse B'nei Yisrael” So Bilaam tells the dignitaries he cannot do it. So even more important dignitaries come, and Bilaam again sleeps on it. G-d answers in a puzzling way this time. G-d says something like, “Look, if people came to get you, go with them. But you're only going to be able to say what I will allow you to say.” So Bilaam arises the next morning and starts toward B'nei Yisrael on his donkey. G-d is still angry that Bilaam insists on going, so G-d sends an angel to stop him. Like Dr. Sam Beckett's true identity in Quantum Leap, the Malach Hashem, the angel of G-d, can only be seen by animals (and I guess kids too?), so Bilaam is blissfully unaware. The donkey sees the angel, who is there to kill / stop Bilaam, so she (yes it's a she-donkey) turns away from the road. Bilaam has no idea what's going on, so he's enraged and strikes the donkey. The donkey keeps on. But the angel is still in the way! So the donkey runs into a fence. Bilaam, again strikes it. The donkey continues. And again, tries to save Bilaam because the angel is now blocking a narrow path so that they cannot get by. Bilaam is striking his relentlessly when G-d suddenly opens the mouth of the donkey who says something like, “Why are you such a jerk!!! Have I not been a loyal mode of transportation for you??” Then G-d opens Bilaam's eyes so that he could see what was actually impeding his way. The angel backs up the donkey saying, “I was in the way and would have killed you if the donkey wouldn't have turned away these three times!!!” Bilaam is chastened (maybe? the commentary says he just said what he needed to to get the angel off his back, but who knows) and the story continues. Bilaam goes to B'nei Yisrael, but as G-d promised, Bilaam is only able to speak blessings upon the people. So, he blesses them 3 times and goes on his way. That's how the story is resolved, but the part that sticks out to me every time we get to this parsha is the genuine cluelessness of Bilaam when he's being kept from his own death. How many times have you missed a flight, a bus, lost a job opportunity, been turned down for a date, been left out of a social outing, or any number of other disappointing things? All the time!!! These kinds of let downs happen ALL. THE. TIME. And maybe it means nothing and the world is just an amalgam of random occurrences… OR these were all merciful redirections.

Season one of Theatrically Speaking republishes the original 2007 episodes. Let's talk about Samuel Beckett. Or, let's sit quietly and think about him.

“Oh boy” and “Yo Adrian” become synonymous when Sam Beckett finds himself in a boxing scenario. Early on it becomes apparent that the show is willing to reflect popular films in coming up with its plots. Tony and I receive our first taste of this type of Leap in “The Right Hand Of God”, which […]

"Time's a little funny here." Truer words were never spoken. We have come to the end of the televised adventures of Sam Beckett - at least, for now. Cokeburg, PA, August 8, 1953. Sam Beckett walks into a bar, orders a beer, looks into the mirror, and everything changes. Arguably the most momentous episode of our beloved series, we give you an equally momentous - in size, anyway - episode of Fate's Wide Wheel. And we welcome back our very first guest, Jessica Conger, to discuss all the ins and outs of the series finale. Plus, Dennis and Sam give their usual overview after Jessica leaps out. We cannot begin to thank our listeners enough for coming along on our journey as we become the first Quantum Leap podcast to complete the whole series, and maybe, just maybe, we aren't even done yet... In the meantime, enjoy our thoughts on Mirror Image.

This episode seems like it brings everything full circle for our little podcast hosted by Sam & Dennis. Our hero, Sam Beckett, leaps into Dennis Boardman, the chauffeur to Marilyn Monroe. Yes, *that* Marilyn Monroe. Season Five of our favorite show continues its trend of leaping Sam into the lives of celebrities and historical figures. Sam has arrived just days before the icon's suicide, and Ziggy says the odds are high he's there to prevent it. Meanwhile, a new assistant, Barbara, has come into Marilyn's life, and it quickly becomes evident we're in an “All About Eve” situation. We break down the episode as always, and discuss what we think works and what doesn't. We also delve a little bit into the real life Marilyn (i.e. Norma Jean(e)). Settle in and listen to the first of our last final TV leaps!

Hop in, Leapers. We're going to the Big Apple, 1958, in a Yellow Cab driven by none other than Dr. Sam Beckett. Al's by his side, of course, plus a guardian angel (Whose guardian angel is she anyway?) named Angelita who can dish out the barbs as good as she gets. Sam's there to help a cabbie win a contest - a coveted NYC taxi medallion is the prize - without getting mugged and shot like in the original history. We dig into an episode that is for all intents and purposes the Liz Torres Hour, and there's nothing wrong with that. Plus, we can't talk about this episode without talking its now infamous Kiss with History.

We are back to our regular programming and we are talking about the late 1980s show Quantum Leap. Learn about Sam Beckett played by Scott Bakula on time traveling and his hologram friend Al played by Dean Stockwell and hear about the history of the show, famous people that he meets in history, fun facts, and our top 5 episodes we liked.
