We're ending our Summer of '70s with one of the most controversial movies we've ever covered: A Clockwork Orange. Is this an artsy masterpiece or just shock for the sake of it?  Are we supposed to feel sorry for Alex DeLarge? Is Malcolm McDowell giving one of the greatest performances of all time?  One of us gives it a perfect 10 and another basically wants to delete it from his library.  Can you guess who is who?!?!  Grab your droogs, pour yourself a glass of milk and get ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence.

We're heading back to Faber College for 1978's Animal House. Is this still one of the greatest comedies ever made, or has nearly 50 years of changing tastes finally put Delta House on double secret probation? Are the Deltas lovable underdogs fighting the establishment, or are we actually rooting for a bunch of complete assholes?  Does John Belushi's cafeteria scene belong in the physical-comedy Hall of Fame? We tackle all this and more.   Grab your toga, fire up the Deathmobile, and remember: fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life.  •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:02:30 - Memories of first viewing •0:06:00  - Pertinent movie details  •0:09:30  -  Critical and fan reviews •0:16:00 - Scene by scene breakdown  •1:24:00 - Modern day ratings —————————————————————— SPONSORS-  **Butcher Box-  Go to http://butcherbox.com/breakfast to get 20% off your first box plus your choice of free ground beef for life or free chicken thighs on or top sirloins in every box for a year. **Cedar Ridge Distillery-  Go check out our sponsor and order some whiskey.  http://cedarridgewhiskey.com **K12-  See how K12 Powered Schools can help unlock your child's full potential.  Enroll online today at http://K12.com/confused  **.

What if the greatest challenge of artificial intelligence isn't artificial intelligence at all—but forgetting what makes us deeply, beautifully human?We have more access to information and technology than ever before, yet so many people feel lonely, anxious, disconnected, and unseen. In this powerful solo episode, Elaine Starling explores why the connection we're longing for isn't created by exchanging more information. It begins by becoming more present, intentional, compassionate, and available to one another.Drawing on neuroscience, the ACE Study, HOPE (Healthy Outcomes from Positive Experiences), oxytocin, and co-regulation, Elaine reveals why caring relationships can influence our nervous systems, support healing, and strengthen our capacity to thrive.She also shares the deeper purpose behind the practice that begins every episode of The Abundance Journey: The Abundance Resonance—an intentional practice of aligning our breath, awareness, Intention, and partnership with The Divine to establish a shared vibration of abundance before we engage in conversation.Because the conversation is not the transformation. The transformation begins the moment we intentionally become present together.You'll discover how your presence can become one of the greatest gifts you offer another person—and how every interaction can become an opportunity to express love, compassion, connection, and abundance.Topics CoveredNote: Add final timestamps from the edited episode for YouTube Chapters.Why more information isn't solving our hunger for connectionWhat neuroscience reveals about caring relationships and healingACE vs. HOPE: Why adversity doesn't have to determine your futureHow oxytocin, safety, belonging, and connection affect the nervous systemWhat co-regulation teaches us about the energy we bring into a roomWhy technology connects information—but people connect heartsThe question that can transform your relationship with yourselfHow The Abundance Resonance became part of The Abundance JourneyWhy Elaine begins every episode with breath, Intention, and 78 seconds of silenceHow The Abundance Resonance reflects the Five Powers of AbundanceWhy who you choose to BE matters more than what you choose to sayHow one conscious interaction can ripple through families, communities, and consciousnessKey Takeaways — Skimmable Wins

Go see SUPER TROOPERS 3 this weekend! Not only did we love the movie, but we also had an incredible interview with the Broken Lizard crew. We dig into the “What if Farva married your sister?” idea, wild Brian Cox stories, improv insanity, and why they're hellbent on cramming a laugh into every single page. If you miss packed theaters laughing at hard‑R comedies, this episode will convince you to get off the couch, grab a liter of cola, and see Super Troopers 3 on the big screen. —————————————————————— SPONSORS-  **Cedar Ridge Distillery-  Go check out our sponsor and order some whiskey.  http://cedarridgewhiskey.com **QUINCE-  Download the Quince app for app-exclusive offers, or go to http://Quince.com/confused .

To distract himself, Fitz listens in on Narcheska Elliania's pain and leaves with more questions. He meets Selden in the hallways who implores him to help Tintaglia in her cause. Escaping that conversation, he encounters Starling on the road to Buckkeep Town and goes to get drunk after they argue. Eventually, he decides it's a good idea to go talk to Jinna and apologize.  We're reading Golden Fool by Robin Hobb, book 2 of the Tawny Man Trilogy in The Realm of the Elderlings.

When you think of this movie, you don't remember the plot – you remember the first time you realized a real human being was actually doing all that insane stunt work on your VHS copy.  Is this the most believable “one guy vs. twenty dudes” fighting ever put on film?  Does the awful dubbing ruin the vibe, or is it secretly the thing that makes this movie so endlessly rewatchable?  Is Elaine the most brutally screwed shop owner we've ever covered? We tackle all of this and more as we decide whether Rumble in the Bronx actually holds up… or if we're just here to watch Jackie Chan hit people with refrigerators. •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:02:30 - Memories of first viewing •0:06:00  - Pertinent movie details  •0:10:00  -  Critical and fan reviews •0:16 :00 - Scene by scene breakdown  •1:33 :00 - Modern day ratings —————————————————————— SPONSORS-  **Cedar Ridge Distillery-  Go check out our sponsor and order some whiskey.  http://cedarridgewhiskey.com **K12-  See how K12 Powered Schools can help unlock your child's full potential.  Enroll online today at http://K12.com/confused  **.

Most people believe they need to fix their emotions before they can feel better. Neuroscience suggests something surprisingly simple: naming what you're experiencing can calm your nervous system in seconds. But what if this isn't just a brain-based technique? What if naming your experience is actually one of the deepest acts of self-love you can practice?In this solo episode, Elaine Starling explores the fascinating intersection of neuroscience, spirituality, and nervous system regulation. You'll discover why the words you choose shape your experience, how your voice influences your nervous system, and why creating enough inner safety to truly hear yourself opens the door to greater self-trust, Divine guidance, and authentic abundance.If you've been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, uncertain, or emotionally exhausted, this episode offers practical tools that can help you reconnect with yourself—and remember the wisdom that has always been within you.Topics Covered0:00 Why simply naming your emotions changes your brain8:15 The neuroscience of Affect Labeling and emotional regulation14:00 The surprising connection between self-love and nervous system safety20:30 The Five Powers of Abundance and why Presence always comes first27:00 Why your voice is one of your greatest healing instruments34:00 Prayer, affirmations, humming, and the science of vibration43:30 How priming shapes what you experience every day50:30 The 90-second emotional reset and moving from resistance to curiosity56:00 A simple practice to reconnect with your inner wisdomKey Takeaways

We're all about ICONS this week and what BEING ICONIC actually means. Susie makes a bid to be iconic with a new look - see the photos on Insta, and watch us on YouTube if you'd like to see! And we have a good old rummage around our icon lists. Who would be on yours?!Our special guest is STARLING — pop singer, creative coach and one of the most genuinely empowering people we've ever had the pleasure of talking to. STARLING was told she couldn't sing. She's now a pop star, touring the world and doing it entirely on her own terms. As a coach, she works with creatives to help them step into their power, silence their inner critic and back themselves the way she learned to back herself — through fire, determination and an unshakeable belief that she was meant to be here. In our conversation we talk about what it means to truly empower yourself, how to alchemise fear into fuel, overcoming low self esteem, and how to let people fall in love with you — and your work — by showing up as exactly who you are. STARLING is the definition of someone who refused to be told no. And she has everything it takes to be truly iconic! Enjoy the conversation and let us know how it inspires you. And check out STARLING on Instagram - @starlingsworld and her website which features videos of her brilliant songs.With two brand new, on brand sketches, plenty of surprises and a little nugget you'll have to listen to the very end to hear, it's an episode we're proud of. The youth may even describe it as 'iconic' (we can't - Susie's daughter will call us 'cringe'!!!)Limited Time Only – a pick-me-up in podcast form.If you enjoy the show, please follow or subscribe wherever you get your podcasts, leave us a quick review, and share this episode with someone who could use a pick-me-up.Instagram @limitedtimeonlypodcastFacebook Limited Time Only PodcastEmail: limitedtimepodcast@gmail.com LTO is created & written by, produced, edited & hosted by:SUSIE RIDDELL & ESTHER STANFORDIt is a Limited Time Only Production LOGO designed by: IAN STANFORDTHEME TUNE composed by SMALL PLATESADDITIONAL SOUND:https://freesound.org Hosted on Acast.

Dies ist der erste Teil einer hoffentlich langen Folge von absolut unorthodox unregelmäßigen Buchclub Meetings mit Eliza Neo, meiner wunderbaren Instagram-Brieffreundin. Wir beide lieben nicht nur Meditation, Yoga und TCM, sondern haben auch eine ausgewachsene Begeisterung für Taylor Swift, Easter Eggs, neue Serien und Filme und natürlich Bücher, Bücher, Bücher! Im ersten, also quasi der konstitutionierenden Sitzung des Buchclubs geht's um erste Bücher in unserem Leben, warum wir Geschichten brauchen und was die Highlights der letzten Wochen und Monate waren!

What if aging gracefully has nothing to do with looking younger—and everything to do with learning how to hold more love? In this deeply moving solo episode, Elaine Starling challenges one of society's biggest myths about aging and reveals why our later years are often our greatest opportunity for spiritual expansion.Drawing on neuroscience, aging research, and a touching story about a friend walking beside his wife during the final chapter of her earthly journey, Elaine explores how life's transitions expand our capacity for wisdom, compassion, and Divine partnership. Instead of seeing emotional intensity as weakness, she invites us to recognize it as evidence that our hearts are growing strong enough to hold life's deepest experiences.You'll discover why remaining connected to yourself, your breath, and The Divine may be the greatest gift you can offer both yourself and those you love—and why your life experience has never been more valuable than it is today.Topics Covered0:00 What aging gracefully really means8:40 The surprising research on emotional wisdom as we age14:30 Why emotional overwhelm is often emotional significance20:15 The story of Michael: love, grief, and misunderstanding29:30 Learning to witness instead of trying to fix35:45 How to lovingly hold yourself through uncertainty41:15 Notice Your Breath: a simple practice to regulate your nervous system48:00 Why human wisdom is becoming more valuable in the age of AI54:30 Your greatest contribution may be your presenceKey Takeaways (Skimmable Wins)

Today's new episode is taking us back to 2001's Vanilla Sky. We're all mainlining Radiohead, questioning reality, and wondering if cryogenic lucid dreaming might be better than actual life. Is this an A+ sci‑fi romance that hits harder the older you get, or an overcooked vanity project with a killer soundtrack? When does the dream actually start, and does the “it was all a dream” twist ruin the movie or secretly make it great? Would you choose a perfectly curated forever with your soulmate, or jump off the building and wake up 150 years in the future with nothing? We tackle all this and more! •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:02:30 - Memories of first viewing •0:06:00  - Pertinent movie details  •0:11:00  -  Critical and fan reviews •0:17:00 - Scene by scene breakdown  •1:32:00 - Modern day ratings —————————————————————— SPONSORS-  **Cedar Ridge Distillery-  Go check out our sponsor and order some whiskey.  http://cedarridgewhiskey.com **K12-  See how K12 Powered Schools can help unlock your child's full potential.  Enroll online today at http://K12.com/confused  **.

This week we're talking about the food items in movies that made us want to reach through the screen and take a bite. Sometimes a piece of pizza just looks so ridiculously good that it becomes as memorable as the movie itself. We're counting down some of our favorites, arguing over which ones we'd actually want to eat, which ones probably aren't nearly as good as they look, and why filmmakers are somehow able to make a simple bag of burgers look absolutely incredible. It's a fun one that had us unexpectedly hungry the entire time. —————————————————————— SPONSORS-  **Cedar Ridge Distillery-  Go check out our sponsor and order some whiskey.  http://cedarridgewhiskey.com **K12-  See how K12 Powered Schools can help unlock your child's full potential.  Enroll online today at http://K12.com/confused  **.

William Penn returned from Ireland in August 1670, and soon found himself arrested, along with fellow Quaker William Mead, for preaching to a crowd in public in violation of “the common law,” an ambiguity that would play out during their momentous trial. The trial would end in their acquittal, notwithstanding egregious intimidation of the jury by the judge, the Lord Mayor Sir Samuel Starling. Among other exciting moments, Starling threw the principled foreman of the jury, Edward Bushel, in jail. Bushel’s suit for a writ of habeas corpus would lead to a verdict that established an inviolate principle in Anglo-American law, that judges may not intimidate juries. Penn and Mead were acquitted under the glare of remarkable publicity for the day, and the case would establish Penn as a nationally famous advocate for Dissenting religion. After his acquittal, Penn finally made it home to visit his dying father, Sir William Penn, with whom he reconciled in a poignant father-son moment. Subscribe to my Substack!

Misha Glenny and guests discuss one of the towering figures of Brazilian and world literature, Machado de Assis (1839 - 1908). He was the descendant of slaves and built his career while slavery was still in place in Brazil (abolished 1888) and many of his characters were from the slave-owning class who were also the readers of his books. At the time, those readers were delighted to see themselves represented and it was only later in the 20th Century that critics realized just how much Machado was satirising them. While he brings 19th Century Brazil vividly to life, Machado's works transcend time and place and, according to Salman Rushdie, they seem to have been written yesterday not 100 years ago.With Ana Cláudia Suriani da Silva Associate Professor in Brazilian Studies at University College LondonClaire Williams Professor of Brazilian Literature and Culture at the Faculty of Modern Languages at the University of Oxford, fellow of St. Peter's CollegeAnd Viviane Carvalho da Annunciação Affiliated Lecturer at the Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages and Linguistics at the University of CambridgeProducer: Simon TillotsonReading list:Lamonte Aidoo and Daniel F.

Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls -  is this a better than the original or a lazy, cash-grab sequel that Jim Carrey tried to tank on purpose?  Isr the raccoon “cliffhanger” opener is actually better than Stallone's Cliffhanger?  Does Ace crosses the line from “weird guy” to straight-up unlikable and does the rhino birth scene belong in the all-time physical comedy hall of fame?   Is this truly just a “kid movie” carried by Carrey's energy, or does it deserve more credit than the critics ever gave it?  We answer all of this and more! •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:02:00 - Memories of first viewing •0:06:30  - Pertinent movie details  •0:11:00  -  Critical and fan reviews •0:18:00 - Scene by scene breakdown  •1:23:00 - Modern day ratings —————————————————————— SPONSORS-  **Cedar Ridge Distillery-  Go check out our sponsor and order some whiskey.  http://cedarridgewhiskey.com **K12-  See how K12 Powered Schools can help unlock your child's full potential.  Enroll online today at http://K12.com/confused  **.

In this episode of the Million Dollar Landscaper Podcast, Scott talks with Dr. Sabrina Starling of Tap the Potential about how lawn care and landscape business owners can make their time worth $10,000 an hour by getting out of low-value tasks and focusing on the work that truly moves the business forward.   Dr. Starling explains why so many owners stay trapped in the day-to-day grind, how burnout slowly builds over time, and why many entrepreneurs struggle to fully unplug from their business. She shares how the $10,000-an-hour activities chart helps owners identify where their time is going, what should be delegated, and what high-value work deserves their attention.   Scott and Dr. Starling also discuss how to develop A-player team members, create loyalty through better leadership, use one-to-one conversations to understand employees' strengths, and get the team thinking like strategic partners instead of just waiting for instructions. They also touch on practical ways AI can help owners reduce mental load, including streamlining repetitive tasks like estimating and administrative work.   This conversation also goes deeper into the personal cost of business ownership. Dr. Starling shares why being emotionally present with family matters, how to start setting boundaries with the business, and why small steps such as unplugging in the evening can eventually lead to bigger freedom, including the possibility of a fully unplugged vacation.   If you are a landscaper or lawn care business owner who feels like everything depends on you, this episode will help you start thinking differently about your time, your team, your systems, and the life your business is supposed to support.   Resources mentioned in this episode: Download the Chart of $10,000 an Hour Activities: https://tapthepotential.com/10k/ Tap the Potential: https://www.tapthepotential.com Profit by Design Podcast: https://tapthepotential.com/podcast/   Follow Million Dollar Landscaper: Website | Facebook | Instagram | YouTube   #MillionDollarLandscaper #LandscapingBusiness #LawnCareBusiness #BusinessSystems #HiringAPlayers #BusinessBurnout #WorkLifeBalance #SmallBusinessOwner #tapthepotential #sabrinastarling  

Get on the bus with the boys because we finally reviewed Slap Shot.  In this episode we ask the big questions: is Reggie Dunlop actually the hero of this story, or a complete piece of shit who never grows up? Is Slap Shot the greatest hockey movie ever made, or does the lack of actual hockey knock it down a peg? Are the Hanson Brothers as epic as you remember?  Why was Ralphie's mom in bed with Reggie Dunlop?? •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:02:30 - Memories of first viewing •0:06:00  - Pertinent movie details  •0:10:00  -  Critical and fan reviews •0:14:00 - Scene by scene breakdown  •1:29 :00 - Modern day ratings —————————————————————— SPONSORS-  **ASPCA-  To learn more about Pet Health Insurance, visit http://aspcapetinsurance.com/breakfast  **.

EX52: The summit network is back to review two of the summer's hottest films, Obsessions and Backrooms!

On this episode, we dive into Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing, a movie that somehow feels like it's baked into America's bloodstream. We're talking oppressive heat, blaring boom boxes, and one summer day that turns a Brooklyn block into a pressure cooker for race, rage, and “doing the right thing.” Is Bugging Out just an early version of cancel culture, or is he the only one calling out a broken system? Did Mookie actually do the right thing when he threw that trash can, and who's really responsible for Radio Raheem's death? Is the true villain the cops, Sal, the neighborhood… or the heat itself that pushes everybody past their breaking point? •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:02:30 - Memories of first viewing •0:06:00  - Pertinent movie details  •0:10:00  -  Critical and fan reviews •0:15:00 - Scene by scene breakdown  •1:37 :00 - Modern day ratings —————————————————————— SPONSORS-  **.

When you think of this movie, you can't help but get nostalgic for a time in America where all motels had raging parties in their lobby bar, every 50 miles there was a roadside attraction, and cheating on your wife was totally acceptable because you are a stressed out family man trying to provide the perfect vacation for yourself… errr, I mean for your family.  It was a simpler time-  TAKE ME BACK! •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:02:30 - Memories of first viewing •0:06:00  - Pertinent movie details  •0:10:00  -  Critical and fan reviews •0:15:00 - Scene by scene breakdown  •1:29 :00 - Modern day ratings —————————————————————— SPONSORS-  **ASPCA-  To learn more about Pet Health Insurance, visit http://aspcapetinsurance.com/breakfast  **.
