What makes a retreat unforgettable? It is rarely just the itinerary. It is the feeling. The energy in the room. The moments guests did not expect. In this episode of The Retreat Leaders Podcast, Shannon Jamail sits down with Austin-based singer, songwriter, and musician Christine Baird to talk about the role of live music, art, and real human connection in creating transformational retreat experiences. Christine has performed at multiple retreats hosted by Shannon, and together they explore why live music brings something to a retreat that a playlist, a screen, or even AI-generated music simply cannot replicate. They discuss how music and art can shift the energy of a room, help guests become more present, create emotional anchors, and turn a good retreat into something people remember long after they leave. The conversation also dives into why live, in-person experiences are becoming even more valuable in a fast-moving AI world. As technology gets better at creating content, music, images, and experiences digitally, the value of real human energymay actually increase. If you are a retreat leader looking for creative retreat activities, ways to improve your guest experience, or ideas that help your retreat stand out, this episode will make you think differently about what belongs on your itinerary. In This Episode You'll Learn Why live music can elevate a retreat experience How art and creativity support deeper connection Why guests remember feelings more than schedules How music can help people become more present The difference between recorded or AI-generated music and a live human performance Why in-person experiences are becoming more valuable in the AI era How retreat leaders can use music and art to create emotional anchors Why creative retreat activities can improve guest satisfaction, referrals, and repeat attendance Key Takeaways Retreats Are Felt, Not Just Attended Your guests may forget the exact order of the workshops. They will remember how the experience made them feel. Live Music Changes the Room There is something different about having a real person creating music in real time. Guests feel the energy, imperfection, emotion, and connection. AI Can Create Music. It Cannot Recreate Human Presence. Technology can create incredibly impressive music. What it cannot reproduce is the shared experience of being in a room with another human being creating something live. Art Creates Emotional Anchors A song, painting, creative workshop, or shared artistic experience can become one of the strongest memories someone takes home from a retreat. Retreat Leaders Should Think Beyond Content You do not need another workshop just because there is an empty hour on the schedule. Sometimes the better choice is music, art, nature, conversation, or simply space to experience the moment. About Christine Baird Christine Baird is a singer, songwriter, and musician whose career has taken her from musical theatre to the Montreux Jazz Festival, from wedding singing in New York City to pursuing her solo career in Austin, Texas.

This week, the crew kicks things off with a new studio setup before Mason unleashes on one of his greatest enemies: cyclists taking over country roads. Are bicycles entitled to the road, or should spandex warriors be restricted to bike lanes and 25 MPH neighborhoods? Things escalate quickly. From there, the conversation gets even stranger. The guys revisit classic Colt 45 and St. Ides malt liquor commercials, including Billy Dee Williams' legendary "works every time" advertising and the absolutely insane era when rappers were selling malt liquor on TV. They also remember sneaking their first tastes of beer, liquor and black coffee as kids — and immediately wondering why adults willingly drank any of it. Then comes the smell nobody wants: Mike's encounter with a porta-potty cleaning operation and the dreaded "duty mist." Somehow, that leads to burning research monkeys, getting smuggled onto job sites without a badge, hiding in a car trunk for work, and more questionable employment stories. Mike also explains exactly why he does NOT want another dog, triggering a full debate about dogs in the house, pets on furniture, cats walking across kitchen counters, irresponsible pet ownership, Cane Corsos, piranhas and the enormous responsibility that comes with owning an animal. It's exactly what you've come to expect from the rickety ship: ridiculous stories, arguments, nostalgia, questionable opinions and three friends finding the funny side of life.
What if the thing you've spent years trying to hide is also connected to strengths you haven't fully recognized?Raja Vaidya knows what it means to have other people make assumptions about what you can do.Raja is a scientist turned keynote speaker, Grandmaster Black Belt, author and TEDx speaker who has lived with a stutter throughout his life. For years, speaking could be exhausting. Singing was different. So was martial arts. Both became places where Raja discovered ways to communicate, perform and lead without allowing his speech to define what he could accomplish.In this episode of MOJO: The Meaning of Life and Business, Jennifer R. Glass talks with Raja about invisible disabilities, fear, workplace inclusion and what happens when someone else's perception of your abilities begins affecting your opportunities.Raja shares what happened during his career in cancer research when colleagues routinely presented his work because meetings didn't accommodate the additional time he sometimes needed to speak. Those colleagues received visibility and promotions while Raja's own contributions became less visible. Eventually, one colleague left his name off a presentation altogether.That experience helped force a change.Raja began developing his speaking skills, joined Toastmasters and increasingly confronted the fear that had shaped many of his decisions. He eventually stepped onto the TEDx stage, not because his stutter disappeared, but because what he wanted to say became more important than his fear of saying it.Jennifer and Raja also discuss:• Why singing can change the experience of someone who stutters• The difference between a limitation and someone else's perception of one• How workplaces can unintentionally silence talented employees• What leaders may overlook about employees with invisible disabilities• How martial arts helped Raja develop a different approach to communication• Why fear can protect us while also preventing us from pursuing opportunities• The opportunity Raja gave up because he feared being interviewed on television• What TEDx taught him about speaking when speaking itself is difficult• Why Raja says, “Don't fake it till you make it. Believe it and become it.”The conversation is ultimately about more than stuttering.It's about recognizing how easily a perceived weakness can become a box, whether that box is created by other people or by ourselves, and what can happen when we begin challenging it.Connect with Raja Vaidya and learn more about his speaking, coaching and work through the links below.Disclosure: Jennifer R.

This episode of The JB and Sandy Show is packed with laughs, heartfelt moments, local Austin stories, and plenty of classic JB and Sandy banter. The conversation begins with everything from social batteries and concert-going personalities to one unforgettable discussion that has everyone questioning why anyone feels the need to clarify, “not breast milk” in everyday conversations. Entertainment expert Stephen Presley joins the show to share his emotional observation after hearing the news about Dolly Parton, including a memorable scene he witnessed in bumper-to-bumper traffic that perfectly captured the impact she has had on people's lives. The crew also dives into the highly anticipated Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson Austin-based series, discussing what makes the project so intriguing and why local viewers will be paying close attention. Meanwhile, JB finds himself facing an unexpected reality of dog ownership, repeatedly standing in the front yard late at night pleading, “Go pee-pee!” and wondering how life arrived at this point. It's one of the episode's funniest and most relatable moments. The team also covers a petition gaining momentum to rename Nashville International Airport after Dolly Parton, a stunning lunar eclipse that promises a dramatic orange glow in the night sky, and exciting details about a brand-new indoor live music venue coming to Austin. Plus, the pressure is on during Minute to Win It as a listener comes agonizingly close to winning four pairs of Tim McGraw tickets in a nail-biting finish that had everyone rooting for her.Memorable Moments:“Maybe she's just not getting what she needs from you.”JB's hilarious late-night dog-training confession: “Go pee-pee!”A touching story of a driver singing Dolly songs through tears in Austin traffic.The debate over naming Nashville's airport after Dolly Parton.A Tim McGraw ticket challenge that came down to the final seconds.From laugh-out-loud conversations to heartfelt reflections and can't-miss Austin stories, this episode delivers everything listeners love about mornings with JB, Sandy, and Tricia.

As co-founder of the CeleBRation Choir at the University of Auckland's Centre for Brain Research back in 2009, music therapist Alison Talmage knows the benefits of a good sing-a-long. She's written a handbook to help other people launch similar initiatives in their communities, so people dealing with serious brain conditions like dementia, strokes and Parkinson's Disease can get together in choirs. It's an initiative that's seen big benefits overseas, as the physical and social effects of singing in groups can help ease the symptoms of neurological conditions. But unlike similar choirs in other countries, Talmage leads a group of singers across a broad swathe of ages and different circumstances.

Shania Twain holds the record for the biggest selling country album of all time: Come On Over. Growing up poor in a Canadian mining town, who could have foreseen that the woman born Eileen Regina Twain would go on to sell over 100 million records, cross country music into pop, and become one of the most recognisable voices on the planet?Her life has been extraordinary, dotted with hit albums and huge shows, songs known by their opening line worldwide, and fans ranging from country music loyalists to Harry Styles. There've been plenty of lows too, including almost losing her voice completely to Lyme disease. Shania Twain may be a little more raspy, but she's got stories.This episode was captured at the legendary Power Station in Midtown Manhattan (the recording studio where Bruce Springsteen made his biggest albums, where David Bowie recorded Let's Dance, and Madonna crafted Like a Virgin). It was the perfect place to sit down and travel back in time with Shania, as she reflected on the little Miss Twain that became the star. Stick around after the chat for a very funny story about what happened that day at the studio. Let's just say Take 5 alumni Lin-Manuel Miranda may have been involved (and Amanda Seyfried... and Hamilton star Phillipa Soo).Shania Twain's song choices: Dolly Parton - 'Coat of Many Colors'Tanya Tucker - 'Texas (When I Die)'Olivia Newton-John - 'Hopelessly Devoted to You'Tina Turner - 'What's Love Got to Do with It'Aretha Franklin - 'Respect'00:00 Introduction and Setting the Scene at the Power Station01:50 The Legendary Power Station Studio02:35 Dolly Parton - 'Coat of Many Colors'03:15 Growing Up Poor and Dolly Parton's Influence06:45 Reflecting on Childhood and the New Album 'Little Miss Twain'07:30 Singing in Bars as a Child and Tammy Wynette09:01 Tanya Tucker - 'Texas (When I Die)'09:30 Tanya Tucker: A Voice Beyond Her Years11:00 First on Stage at Eight Years Old12:45 Singing in the Bars of Timmins, Ontario15:30 Mother's Dream: The Next Tanya Tucker16:00 Dreaming of Horses Instead of Fame17:05 Olivia Newton-John - 'Hopelessly Devoted to You'17:45 Olivia Newton-John: Crossing Genres and Breaking Boundaries20:30 Nashville, Crossing Over to Pop, and Doing It Her Way24:00 The First Video, a Target Budget, and the Belly Button Scandal27:10 Tina Turner - 'What's Love Got to Do with It'28:00 The Queen of Comebacks29:45 A 15-Year Break and Losing Her Voice30:30 Lyme Disease, Vocal Cord Surgery, and Finding a New Voice34:20 Aretha Franklin - 'Respect'35:00 Aretha's Brilliance and Owning the Song37:30 Respect, Recognition, and Not Feeling Like a Star38:30 Finding Peace in the Bush40:00 Full Circle: A Message to Little Miss Twain41:00 A Surprise Visit from Lin-Manuel Miranda, Amanda Seyfried & Phillipa Soo42:30 Next Time: Darren Hayes43:30 Double JThis episode was filmed for season 5 of Take 5 with Zan Rowe on ABC TV and ABC iview.

What does hope look like when it is rooted in the land, carried home to your children, and shared through song?In Episode 204 of the Adventures in Learning podcast, Dr. Diane continues the Wild Tomorrow series with two remarkable Green Mambas, Senzeleni Ngcobo and Philile Mdluli.The Green Mambas are part of Wild Tomorrow's all-women ecosystem-restoration team in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Their work includes removing invasive plants, helping restore native habitat, supporting tree planting, learning fire-safety and first-aid skills, and welcoming guests and volunteers into the work of rewilding. But this conversation is about much more than conservation. It is about work that creates independence, supports families, strengthens community, and makes a future feel possible.Senzeleni and Philile share what has changed since joining Wild Tomorrow in 2018: being able to send their children to school, afford transportation and warm clothes, contribute to their families, and build homes of their own. They speak about learning to feel at home in the forest, gaining new skills, and teaching their children to care for plants, animals, and the planet. And throughout the episode, they share the music and laughter that bring joy to their days in the field.This is Part 5 of the Wild Tomorrow series. In previous episodes, we heard Wild Tomorrow's founding story from John Steward and Wendy Hapgood; explored community conservation with Aphiwe Notshaya; learned about ecosystem restoration with reserve manager Kevin Jolliffe; and joined Sibiya Siyabonga for a conversation about ranger life, resilience, and hope. This episode brings us directly to the women whose daily work is helping turn Wild Tomorrow's vision into reality.Chapters00:00 Welcome to the Green Mambas01:13 Meeting Senzeleni and Philile04:13 What the Green Mambas do06:36 Rewilding, invasive plants, and tree planting07:30 Singing through the work08:32 How work with Wild Tomorrow changed their families' lives09:54 From fearing the forest to feeling at home11:07 Conservation in partnership with community13:09 Learning new skills in the field15:27 Lessons they are sharing with their children16:08 What brings hope17:12 A final song and “Siyabonga”Why ListenHear directly from two women whose daily work restores habitat and creates opportunity for their families.Learn how rewilding includes invasive-species removal, tree planting, wildlife protection, fire management, and community engagement.Discover a community-centered conservation model that recognizes women as leaders in restoration.Be reminded that hope can take many forms: meaningful work, new skills, children thriving, friendship, laughter, and song.Other Episodes In the Wild Tomorrow SeriesPart 1: From Boots to a Wildlife Corridor: The Wild Tomorrow Story with John Steward and Wendy HapgoodPart 2: People, Preschoolers, and Planet: Community Conservation with Aphiwe NotshayaPart 3: Rewilding, Restoration, and Hope with Kevin JolliffePart 4: Rangers, Resilience, and Hope with Sibiya SiyabongaMore ResourcesLearn more about the Green Mambas, Wild Tomorrow's all-women restoration team.wildtomorrowRead Wild Tomorrow's celebration of the Green Mambas and their work in habitat restoration: Celebrating the Green Mambas.Visit Wild Tomorrow to support wildlife conservation, rewilding, and community-centered work in South Africa.Find full show notes, photos, and more episodes at Dr. Diane Adventures.Call to actionListen to the full episode, share it with someone who cares about women in conservation, and take time to learn the whole story of rewilding.

No script, no safe direction, and absolutely no guarantee where the conversation is going. The crew kicks things off with WNBA betting, Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, and the increasingly bizarre trend of objects getting thrown onto basketball courts. From there, things quickly go off the rails with a discussion about Fast & Furious 11, Paul Walker, whether Tupac could somehow show up in the franchise, and just how far Hollywood can stretch a movie series before reality no longer matters. The conversation turns to politics, government spending, Washington D.C., American priorities, foreign policy, the midterm elections, beef recalls, wild horses, fake meat, and trying to figure out exactly what we're eating anymore. Mason also introduces the crew to MC Type's "Mansplaining," which leads into Ju Unit's massive archive of old songs, unfinished tracks, music videos, Bandcamp plans, and memories from the early days of making ridiculous videos. Later, the guys get into wine, steaks, Leonardo DiCaprio movies, Shutter Island, Secret Window, Inception, The Basketball Diaries, Bruce Lee movies, Neuralink, universal translators, AI, microplastics, The Walking Dead, Mitch McConnell, Snowfall, and why the first episode of Black Mirror is one hell of an introduction to a television series. It's sports, movies, music, technology, politics, conspiracy talk, inappropriate jokes, and completely unpredictable conversation—the way The Mason and Friends Show has been doing it for 1,057 episodes.

Today I am joined by Brian Gaul and Matt Workman, the filmmaker and producer behind the recent documentary film Choral Singing in America, which is now available for viewing through Amazon, YouTube, and Apple TV. It's a beautiful film that showcases the many different types of choral singing in the United States. It was really great to unpack the film with them and I hope after listening you are excited to watch it for yourself.
In this episode, Alexa and Line take a closer look at the familiar idea of the singer as a ‘vocal athlete'. Drawing on examples from across the performing arts, they explore what the comparison can teach us about the demands placed on singers, and where it might not tell the whole story. From training and performance to vocal health and wellbeing, this conversation invites us to think differently about what singers ask of their voices and bodies, and how we can better support them along the way. WHAT'S IN THIS PODCAST? 0:24 When did you first hear the term ‘vocal athlete?' 3:36 The definition of ‘athlete' and where it holds up for singers 11:46 Where does the analogy fall down? 25:37 A language debate 30:50 The future of the term ‘vocal athlete?'

You were made for great joy...but what do you do when you don't feel particularly joyful?In this reflection on Psalm 47, John Ortberg explores a surprisingly practical answer: Do something joyful.Sing.Clap.Dance.Go outside.Listen to birds.Look into the face of someone you love.Maybe even skip.The Psalms weren't merely written to be read. They were meant to be sung.Drawing from William Law and the James-Lange theory of emotion, John explores the fascinating relationship between our bodies and our inner lives.We can't simply command ourselves to feel happy. Our emotions don't work that way.But we can choose our actions.And because our bodies and souls are deeply connected, the things we choose to do can help shape what's happening inside our hearts.So don't wait until you feel joyful to sing.Sometimes, singing helps lead us toward joy.This is your day.You can make this day a song.In this episode:Psalm 47 and the command to singWhy the Psalms were meant to be sungWilliam Law on singing the PsalmsThe relationship between body and emotionWhy “just choose to be happy” doesn't workThe James-Lange theory of emotionWhy the Psalms include dancing and other physical practicesHow our outward actions can shape our inward livesPractical ways to move toward joyMaking your day a songScriptures:Psalm 47 • Psalm 113:3#Psalm47 #JohnOrtberg #Joy #Psalms #Worship #SpiritualFormation #ChristianFaith #BibleStudy #Prayer #Happiness
In Pastor Paul Schult's message from Psalm 67, he shows us that God blesses His people not simply for ourselves, but so that His salvation might be known throughout the world. Through Psalm 67's prayer, praise, and promise, we discover that we are blessed to be a blessing—called to make God's name and the good news of Jesus known among all people. Pastor Paul challenges us to make this Psalm our prayer and rallying cry: "Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you!"

Maurine and I have been blessed to attend many temple dedications all over the world. There is nothing so joyful as seeing the Saints gather to see these beautiful Houses of the Lord dedicated and made available for the work of the dead and the living. No matter where we are or what language is spoken, the unifying feeling comes from the music that is sung both outside and inside the temple and the Spirit that follows. “High on the mountain top, A banner is unfurled, Ye nations now look up, it waves to all the world!” (Hymns, no. 5) a choir sings as the Prophet comes out of the building to set the coverstone and talk to the Saints. “We thank Thee, O God, for a Prophet to guide us in these latter days,” the Saints sing with all their hearts as tears are streaming down their faces. “On this day of joy and gladness, Lord, we praise thy holy name; In this sacred place of worship, We thy glories loud proclaim! Alleluia, Alleluia, Bright and clear our voices ring, Singing songs of exultation To our Maker, Lord, and King!” (Hymns, no. 64) You can all picture this, can't you? Well, in order to understand more clearly our study of the Psalms, you have to realize the Psalms were mostly sung, and most of the time at the Temple in ancient times!

Gambling and NFL betting The hosts spend a large portion of the episode discussing sports betting, especially NFL futures and Super Bowl odds. One host favors betting based on personal judgment rather than elaborate parlays, while the others encourage more aggressive strategies. They discuss betting small amounts across multiple NFL teams to increase the chance of hitting a long-shot winner. A specific idea emerges: bet roughly $2.30–$2.69 on around 30–32 teams, with the goal of spending about $69 total and potentially benefiting if a long-shot team wins the Super Bowl. They also discuss FanDuel and Bet365, including differences in available betting options and player statistics. The group jokes about tracking their wins and losses throughout the NFL season. 2. Propane delivery/service work One host describes working with propane tanks and the problems caused when customers allow tanks to run empty. Emergency service can involve additional charges because technicians must perform leak checks, pressure tests, and other procedures before refilling a completely empty tank. Customers are often surprised by these fees, leading to frustration and complaints. The hosts argue that companies should be more transparent when selling propane systems, explaining ongoing maintenance requirements, fuel costs, emergency charges, and the value of monitoring systems. They discuss practical challenges technicians face, including frozen or poorly designed tank enclosures, limited workspace, rusty fittings, difficult regulators, and installations that make servicing unnecessarily difficult. A recurring point is that customers should understand how to monitor and maintain their systems rather than waiting until they completely run out of fuel. 3. Rising costs and customer frustration The conversation broadens into the increasing cost of goods and services. They note that customers often blame employees for high prices even though employees don't control pricing. One customer reportedly switched most of their home heating to a heat pump after receiving an unexpectedly high propane-related bill, keeping propane only as a backup. The hosts agree that prices rarely return to previous levels once they increase. 4. Food and Bucky's The group discusses Buc-ee's and one host's recent experience there. Several items receive strong praise, including a peanut-butter chocolate candy, seasoning, blueberry cream soda, and other food. Banana pudding and some desserts receive negative reviews. They describe Bucky's as more than a gas station: a massive convenience store with food, merchandise, candy, jerky, fudge, bathrooms, and numerous gas pumps. The overall verdict is that Bucky's is a worthwhile stop when traveling, even if not every product is exceptional. 5. Local food The hosts recommend several local food spots, particularly places known for fried fish, chicken, barbecue, country cooking, and pie. They complain about slow service at one barbecue restaurant while praising other smaller establishments for consistently good food. Food quality, portion sizes, freshness, and value are recurring themes. 6. Cocktails and drinking The hosts briefly discuss cocktails, especially Long Islands and martinis. They talk about the difference between shaken and stirred martinis, including the idea of avoiding excessive agitation or “bruising.” A cocktail show they watched is mentioned as interesting because it explained the science behind temperature, dilution, shaking, and stirring. 7. Comedic tangent about environmental exposure A long, increasingly absurd section discusses being around airborne mist/fumes at outdoor events while eating. The conversation becomes deliberately ridiculous, using exaggerated jokes about avoiding food contamination and choosing where to eat at festivals. This section is primarily comedic rather than informational. Overall takeaway The episode is intentionally unstructured and conversational, with the hosts jumping rapidly between subjects rather than following a planned format. The strongest substantive discussions are about sports betting strategy and the realities of propane service, while the rest of the episode provides humorous commentary on food, travel stops, rising prices, cocktails, and everyday experiences. The episode ultimately ends by encouraging listeners to keep working toward their goals, listen to older episodes, like/share/subscribe, and keep grinding, while jokingly returning to the recurring “$69 across the NFL” betting idea.
Thirty years ago this month… At the Republican National Convention…Bob Dole accepted his party's presidential nomination … But right before the recently retired Senator spoke, four other Senators went on stage – and they sang. Bringing harmony to the Senate is a lot of fun. Bringing harmony here tonight is a lot of fun. And we're going to dedicate this next song to America's next first lady Elizabeth Dole. The song is Elvira. That was Trent Lott – along with the three other Singing Senators. Who were the Singing Senators? Why were there Singing Senators? What happened to the Singing Senators? And what's the deal with Elvira? Find out in this week's episode of "Extreme Mortman" – as we go behind the music … for the spectacular rise and the shocking fall – of the Singing Senators. The quartet that spent much of the mid -90s asking the timeless musical question – Elvira. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Singing Praises admin Wed, 08/19/2026 - 12:00am Proverbs 27:2 says “Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; A stranger, and not your own lips.” You do good work and others will find you. They will sing your praises.
Remember when getting 11 albums for one penny seemed like a completely legitimate business model? Pepperidge Farm remembers. More importantly, Rizz remembers — because apparently Columbia House helped build the musical foundation of the man you hear yelling into a microphone every morning.Episode 52 starts with a guy who has somehow learned to sing a hit song backwards, melody and all, so that when the recording is reversed it sounds remarkably close to the real thing. It's impressive, unsettling, and exactly the kind of useless talent we deeply respect around here.Then nostalgia kicks the studio door off its hinges.Those Little Free Libraries have apparently evolved into Free Blockbusters — neighborhood boxes stocked with DVDs, Blu-rays and VHS tapes for people to take, trade and return. It's basically streaming for people who enjoy leaving the house and trusting strangers. Lern immediately wants one, complete with an old-school beaded curtain for the grown-up section, because apparently we're rebuilding the entire video store experience one suburban lawn at a time.And while physical media gets another tiny breath of life, the funny podcast says goodbye to an absolute legend: Columbia House.Yes. THAT Columbia House.The “11 albums for a penny” people.Also: they were apparently still around.Rizz takes us back to the golden era of putting an actual penny in an envelope, receiving a box full of music, getting bills in the mail and having the financial security of knowing, “What are they gonna do? I'm 11.” Guns N' Roses, Mötley Crüe, Def Leppard and Bon Jovi helped build the Rizz starter pack, while Rafe reveals Columbia House was also apparently part of his mom's Christmas gift strategy.Nothing says “Merry Christmas” like potentially questionable mail-order accounting.Then it's time for Crap on Celebrities, where the crew gets into the Tupac murder trial, an upcoming Elvis hologram experience in Vegas, Gillian Anderson's truly wild teenage arrest story, celebrity divorce becoming content, a Clueless sequel series, more Fast & Furious, and Ella Langley's monster chart run.Matthew McConaughey also delivers possibly the most Matthew McConaughey story ever: getting so high before his own birthday party that he sat in his car listening to Janet Jackson over and over until the party was finished.Everybody left.Birthday over.But that song? Apparently fantastic.Reese Witherspoon and Will Ferrell also kick the hornet's nest by discussing extreme Disney adults, because nothing brings the Internet together like telling grown people their favorite mouse might be a red flag.Meanwhile, Ella Langley's chart domination has the crew officially becoming “Ella fellas” and wondering whether she can finally defeat one of the most powerful forces in American culture: hearing the same Mariah Carey song every December until the sun explodes.And because this funny podcast occasionally invites people who actually know what they're talking about, Cardinals assistant GM and 2006 World Series champion Randy Flores joins the show to talk baseball and the Cardinals' Draft365: Scouting MLB's Future Stars, which pulls back the curtain on scouting, drafting and finding the organization's next generation of players.So Episode 52 has everything: St. Louis baseball, celebrity gossip, physical-media nostalgia, weird Internet talent, questionable teenage financial decisions and Matthew McConaughey losing an entire birthday to Janet Jackson.Another educational installment of your favorite funny podcast.We use the term “educational” very aggressively.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Garth Brooks and Willie Nelson gave Corey Kent advice that helped change the direction of his life. In this episode of God's Country, Corey joins The Brothers Hunt to tell those stories—and opens up about getting fired with a new baby at home, leaving Nashville, building a life in Texas, and redefining what success really means. Corey shares how he handed Garth Brooks a burned CD containing the only three songs he had written, why he confidently claimed they were ready for country radio, and the life-changing message Garth later sent him. He also remembers singing with Willie Nelson as a teenager and receiving the advice that first sent him to Nashville. The conversation goes deeper into faith, family, fatherhood, hunting, and the emotional moment Corey experienced on his family's Oklahoma land before delivering his grandfather's eulogy. Plus, he talks about “Wild as Her,” his upcoming album Heartland Rock N Roll, working with Jason Aldean, and why he plans to live his life in seasons.
