THE Leadership Japan Series by Dale Carnegie Training Tokyo, Japan
We know the name Achilles because of Brad Pitt and Hollywood or we may have read the Iliad. He was a famous mythical Greek hero whose body was invulnerable, except for the back of his heel. His mother plunged him into the river Styx to protect his body, but her fingertips covered the heel, leaving it vulnerable. Research by Dr. Jack Zenger identified four common elements which comprise Achilles' heels for leaders. Blind spots are a problem for all of us. We can't see our foibles, issues and problems, but they are blindingly obvious to everyone else working for us. Remember, subordinates are all expert “boss watchers”. They examine us in the greatest detail every day, in every interaction. Let's examine what Zenger found and see what we can learn as leaders. Lacking Integrity Not too many leaders would be saying they lacked integrity about themselves but that may not be how they are seen by their subordinates. The organization may be zigging but we decide to zag. We don't agree with the policy, so we decide to head off in another direction. There may be promulgated values developed in the senior executive suites and we are not modelling the correct behaviour. Maybe our big leader egos can't admit mistakes or when we are wrong. We try to bend logic and justify our way out of the situation. Maybe we say one thing and do the precise opposite of what we are preaching. “Do what I say, not what I do” – does this sound familiar? Not Accountable “Of course, I am accountable – what nonsense”, may be our first reaction. We may be telling our boss that the poor results of our team are because we haven't been issued with the sharpest tools in the toolbox. It is all their fault and we are pristine and perfect. The 360 survey results are a bloodbath, as our subordinates hoe into us for our various failings, but we dismiss the results. “Piffle. Don't they know what I am facing here. The pressure, the stress. No one appreciates how hard I am working. They have no idea what they are talking about”. Perhaps our decisions are poor and instead of owning them, we push the blame off on to others, particularly other departments. “If only IT did their job properly. If only marketing were more professional. If only sales was pulling their weight”, ad nauseum. Over-Focused On Self It would be difficult to find leaders who don't have this attribute to varying degrees. You don't see too many wilting violets whisked up into leadership positions. Self-promotion is a fundamental aspect of getting ahead in business. The issues arise when it goes to extremes. Strong leaders can often believe they are in a zero sum game and another's success lessens their own worth and promotion opportunities. Not cooperating with rivals or even attempting to sabotage them can be some fallout from this attitude. Subordinates too can be seen as future rivals who might replace the boss, so better to not delegate to, coach or provide experience for capable people in order to keep them down. Uninspiring It would be a rare bird of a leader who admitted they were uninspiring. We easily believe we are a role model for others, that we have credibility and are someone others would want to emulate. However, we might be a hopeless public speaker, barely able to string two words together without injecting a series of ums and ahs into proceedings. We might be morose, weighed down with the pressure of our position and responsibilities, permanently in a bad mood. We might be so busy, we are incapable of directing others and wind up dumping work on them minus the WHY and the how bits of the equation. There is a bitter pill for leaders to swallow to overcome their blind spots. It is called “feedback” and it can often taste sour, jagged and unpleasant. We cannot see ourselves as our staff see us, so gird your loins and ask for help to be a better leader. This is never easy, but the alternative of blundering forward, repeating the same errors is not tenable. At some point the organization will have a reckoning with us and it might prove fatal to our careers. Better to take our medicine early, under our own direction, than hoping for the best and eventually getting the chop.
A singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Eliot Lewis has toured the world over as a member of the Daryl Hall & John Oates band, as well as a former member of The Average White Band. Eliot has also been the only musician to appear on every episode of Daryl Hall's popular, "Live From Daryl's House” show all while keeping his own solo career going at a seemingly impossible pace. Over the course of his career he has worked with the music business' elite including, Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top), Joe Walsh, Sammy Hagar, Todd Rundgren,Train, Cheap Trick, Grace Potter, Squeeze, Rob Thomas, Jason Mraz, Darius Rucker, Gavin DeGraw and many, many others. Having mastered four instruments over the course of his career; guitar, keyboard, bass and drums, Eliot's shows will find him moving from one instrument to another. Equally at home in front of 100 or 15,000, Eliot has performed on the worlds most legendary stages, including Madison Square Garden, Japan's Budokan, Red Rocks, The Hollywood Bowl, Carnegie Hall as well as Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Conan O'Brien, The Today Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live and many others. Eliot has carved out his own distinctive musical brand and sonic landscape and has written, performed and produced ten solo releases. There are many who shaped Eliot's music and writing. As a guitar player, definitely Jeff Beck who I've been listening to all my life, as well as Billy Gibbons who I had the great fortune of working with recently, and Peter Frampton who I actually jammed with when I was 14 yrs old. I had the amazing experience of meeting and seeing many influential artists when I was a kid mainly at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

At Styx and Bones, we don't just study the goddesses—we teach how we see ourselves reflected in them, speak their names, and develop archetypes based on their historical epithets to help us reflect, reconnect, and remember.In ancient Greek religion, goddesses weren't abstract. They were complex, multifaceted beings known through their epithets—names like Areia, Paphia, Enodia, or Soteira. These titles held real meaning in temples, rituals, and the lives of worshippers. Today, we research and reconstruct these forgotten threads—not just to recover history, but to reclaim our own stories through them.These archetypes, developed through our research at the temple. are more than categories—they're mirrors. They help us see ourselves reflected in the divine, and understand how each aspect of the goddess teaches us something about power, love, war, beauty, protection, and more.Intro: (0:00)Greek Goddess Archetypes Boxes, Readings and Myths:(4:00)Aphrodite, The Adonia and More on Extra Members: (5:55)Why We Developed Greek Goddess Archetypes: (10:09)Breaking Down the Greek Goddesses into Our Archetypes: (15:22)How We See Ourselves Reflected in the Greek Goddess Archetypes: (56:12)Check out our Patreon, Styx and Bones Temple's Store, Blogs and more! https://beacons.ai/styxandbonessFOLLOW STYX AND BONES ON SOCIAL MEDIAhttps://www.instagram.com/styxandbonespodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/styxandbonestemplehttps://www.tiktok.com/@styxandbonestemple FOLLOW HIGH PRIESTESS CHELSEAhttps://www.instagram.com/highpriestesschelseahttps://www.tiktok.com/@highpriestesschelseaFOLLOW DR.

We all can think of those artists or bands that we feel went just one album too far (and sometimes more!) and what might have been a great ending, capping off an iconic career, is undermined by a less-than-stellar follow-up. This week Anthony and Alan talk about some of the examples they came up with -- including Metallica, Weezer, Fleetwood Mac, Heart, Marillion, October Project, Asia, Judas Priest, Queen, Black Sabbath, and a whole lot more! Then we do some #PicksOfTheWeek and talk about new releases from Marina, Bloodywood, Sparks, Styx, et al We really would love to hear from you!

Fans of the Inland Northwest music scene might remember Manito Park, a melodic rock band from the early '90s. If you were old enough, you may even have seen them perform as they were regulars at the CDA Resort and the Fore and Aft. But even fewer likely recall the group's earlier incarnation as Gotham. In 1989, Gotham released a powerful set of arena-style rock tracks—reminiscent of bands like Journey and Styx—on a cassette-only album titled Home Sweet Home. Now, more than 35 years later, that long-lost recording is getting a fresh revival. Thanks to Australian label Melodic Rock Classics, known for unearthing hidden gems, the album was recently reissued on May 30 as Pictures, available on CD and digital download. The updated release also includes three remastered tracks from the band's Manito Park era, giving listeners a fuller sense of their musical journey. For a dose of vintage Spokane AOR sound, preorders are now open through Melodic Rock Classics. You can find them at https://melodicrockclassics.com/gotham.html or on your favorite music streaming app.
Alexander den store sin ledde i sin framgångsrika här allt närmare Indien. Föreställningen om hans egen oövervinnerlighet var den drivkraften. Förutsättningarna för att föra krig i dessa fjärran länder var också andra, och den makedonska hären mötte andra former av motstånd. Så småningom skulle Alexanders hybris också möta verkligheten och snart fick hären vända hem.Det står klart i efterhand att även om Alexander var ett taktiskt och strategiskt geni var han ingen statsbyggare. Något beständigt imperium blev det dock inte. Efter hans tidiga död 323 f.v.t. bröts Alexanders landvinningar upp i nya kungadömen, vilket i sig skapade nya geopolitiska problem och konflikter.I dagens avsnitt av Militärhistoriepodden pratar idéhistorikern Peter Bennesved och professorn i historia Martin Hårdstedt om Alexanders sista fälttåg i öst och fram till hans död år 323. Detta är en repris.Det persiska imperiet var i grunden krossat och Alexanders nemesis Darius var besegrad. Alexanders löfte om att straffa perserna för deras härjningar i den grekiska övärlden hade uppfyllts, så när Alexander nu blickade österut återigen och försökte nå havet på andra sidan kontinenten var motivet snarare världsherravälde.Vid floden Hydaspes, samma år, stod också ett av Alexanders mest välkända slag mot den Indiske rajan Poros och hans son, ihågkommit bland annat för mötet med indiska stridselefanter. Återigen skulle Alexanders aggressiva kavalleritaktik, understödd av den täta och stabila makedonska falangen, visa sig framgångsrik. Med segern vid Hydaspes var områdena runt Indusdalens bifloder vunnet för Alexander.Efter slaget vid Hydaspes nåde dock Alexander väg ände i både praktisk och symbolisk bemärkelse. På vägen tillbaka till Persepolis och Babylon är det en annan Alexander som träder fram. Vid floden Hyphasis, en av de sista bifloderna till den stora indusfloden blev Alexander tvungen att vända hemåt efter att de makedonska soldaterna började tala om myteri. Det stod då klart att världens slut var längre bort än vad man känt till. Alexanders megalomani mötte här verkligheten, och svaret blev att börja den långa återvandringen. På vägen hem fortsatte dock motgångarna. Alexander blev svårt sårad och tappade sin förmåga att delta i striderna på det sätt som han tidigare gjort. Kanske den största av utmaningar mötte Alexander i den Geodriska öknen påväg västerut mot Persepolis igen där det sägs att tre fjärdedelar av hans här dukade under i hettan och i brist på förnödenheter.Enligt Alexanders biografer tog alkoholen också över allt mer under Alexanders sista år och innan han dog hade hans tidigare gudalika uppenbarelse och förmåga fått en annan karaktär. År 323 f.v.t. dör Alexander svårt försvagad och utan en utsedd arvinge. Exakt vad det var som tog hans liv tvistas det ännu om, men klart är att hans stora alkoholintag knappast gav honom motståndskraften och skärpan att hantera varken naturliga sjukdomar eller försök till förgiftningar, oavsett vad det nu var som ledde fram honom till Styx.Något beständigt imperium blev det dock inte. Hans stora gärning ligger i hans sätt att föra krig. Ganska snart bröts Alexanders landvinningar upp i nya kungadömen, vilket i sig skapade nya geopolitiska problem och konflikter. Inte minst förändrades läget i de östra delarna av medelhavet när den tidigare makedonska supermakten tappade sitt grepp. Detta skulle också leda till att nya stormakter kunde etablera sig. Den enes död, den andres bröd, som det heter, och efter många år av inbördes konflikter mellan kvarlevorna av Alexanders imperium låg medelhavet snart öppet för en ny och växande stormakt på den italienska halvön.Bild: Alexander i stridens hetta, detalj av det berömda "Slaget om Alexander" (mosaik, Pompeji, ca 150-100 f.Kr., troligen baserad på en modell från 300-talet), Wikipedia, Public Domain.

But this isn't just about drama—we're going beyond the surface.We explore how Persephone and Aphrodite were both honored in ancient Greek religion as Despoina, the "Mistress of the House," a powerful title that speaks to their divine authority and queenship.We'll unpack how their worship overlapped, what their titles meant in ancient cult practices, and how modern interpretations often fall into the trap of pitting two powerful women against each other—a dynamic that reflects more about us than the ancient world.Intro: 0:00Aphrodite Month in Our Mystery Cult!: 1:53Aphrodite Restock + Statue Updates in the Temple: 5:20Do Aphrodite and Persephone Hate Each Other?: 7:57Why the Dark Divine Feminine Movement Appropriates our Religion: 23:19Despoina the Epithet of Queen: 27:40Check out our Patreon, Styx and Bones Temple's Store, Blogs and more! https://beacons.ai/styxandbonessFOLLOW STYX AND BONES ON SOCIAL MEDIAhttps://www.instagram.com/styxandbonespodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/styxandbonestemplehttps://www.tiktok.com/@styxandbonestemple FOLLOW HIGH PRIESTESS CHELSEAhttps://www.instagram.com/highpriestesschelseahttps://www.tiktok.com/@highpriestesschelseaFOLLOW DR.

Shakespeare famously wrote, what's in a name? But let's say it out loud. Jack Lemmon. It says it all right there in the name. Jack. Ordinary, the guy across from you on the subway. Lemon. The one that got the broken car. The bitter taste, yet the surprising brightly colored yellow sun inside of the bad luck. Jack Lemmon, arguably the greatest comic and dramatic actor to ever grace the screen, who is unrivaled as the everyman who trips, stumbles, triumphs and gets the girl. Or in the case of Some like it Hot, the guy. Starting this week at one of my very favorite movie theaters, the Film Forum on Houston Street, Jack Lemmon turns 100. Can you believe it? And the Film Forum is opening its two week tribute on Friday, May 16th with the iconic story of opposites, the Odd Couple. But I'm not here to talk about Mr. Lemon's legendary roles in Days of Wine and Roses, Glengarry Glen Ross having a revival on Broadway now with Bob Odenkirk reprising Lemon's unforgettable Shelley Levine, The Front Page, Mr. Roberts, Bell, Book and A Candle. A personal favorite of mine, Some like it Hot, which I watched on VHS until the tape broke…I am here to talk about one of the greatest comedies, if you can call a film about a mid level office drone working at an insurance company who lets his superiors bully him into letting them have his apartment for their affairs in hopes of him getting promoted and the suicidal elevator girl who whom he falls in love with. A comedy The Apartment. Legendary director Billy Wilder, coming off the wild success of Some like it Hot with Marilyn Monroe, wanted to keep his collaboration with Lemon going. So in 1960, Wilder and I.A.L diamond (Come on, is that the coolest name?) who wrote Some Like It Hot with Wilder were inspired by an infamous Hollywood murder story about agent Jennings Lange who was having an affair with actress Joan Bennett in an underlings apartment. So her husband, producer Walter Wanger, shot and killed Lange. Check out Karina Longworth's excellent podcast Love Is A Crime from You Must Remember This for the full retelling to you and I. This might not seem like source material for one of our greatest comedies, but in Wilder, Lemon and the adorable Shirley MacLaine's Hands, it was a box office smash, winning five Oscars out of ten nominations. Now I could go on and on about Billy Wilder's meticulous directorial precision, Lemon's unreal comic timing and turn on a dime pathos why Ving Rhames spontaneously gave him his very own Golden Globe in 1998. But I'm actually here to talk about a hat, a haircut, and a mirror. Let's rewind to 1960 - President Kennedy just took office, Roy Orbison's ‘Only The Lonely' was on the radio, and the kids were doing Chubby Checker's ‘The Twist'. The very seriously subversive theme and subject of The Apartment can not be over stated in this climate. The film, shot in gorgeous black & white by Joseph LaShelle of Laura and Marty fame, puts us smack-dab in what I'd call ‘Mad Men' central - a heady swirl of cigarette smoke and ‘Tom & Jerry' cocktail mix, office Christmas parties, wives holding on line 2 while executive husbands scheduled accepted trysts before dinner and kissing the kids goodnight. Lemmon plays ‘C.C. Baxter', a hard-working, well-meaning drone who somehow gets himself turned into a sort of brothel landlord. His neighbors wonder how he can withstand being such a Lothario - the sounds coming through the walls everynight don't match C.C. Baxter's unassuming Brooks Brothers suit with a rumpled white shirt with rounded collars and tie-bar to boot.But Baxter is caught in a hilarious cycle of paying his dues to climb the corporate ladder. This is what you must do. You must get out of bed at midnight to allow your boss to wine and bed his mistress in your Upper Westside apartment even if it involves you sleeping on a park bench in Central Park and catching your death (which Lemmon really did on that particular night shoot on location in the chilly fall of NYC). Lemmon's aspiration is to be ‘the youngest junior executive at Consolidated Insurance' so he MUST climb that corporate ladder to get the accoutrements - the windowed office, the carte blanche phone calls to pass on favors, and the bowler hat!He proudly shows it off to Shirley MacLaine's elevator operator, Fran Kubelik, who regards it as the ultimate symbol of the last ‘nice guy' crossing over the river Styx to the underworld of betrayal. She is happy for Baxter, but her eyes register a cultural sadness - this white male corporate culture is a disease and its got it claws in Baxter, and Baxter is completely oblivious to what he is about to sign on the dotted line for. Fran isn't. Despite her absolutely adorable ‘pixie' hair-cut, she has been groped by the best of them, and seems unreachable by the hordes of executives. Fran is the Snow Leopard, the last big game that hasn't been conquered. You can grab her butt, and she firmly pushes you on your way. There is something modern, forward-leaning in her attitude and appearance, punctuated by that hair-cut representing women's liberation, strength, and independence. ‘I don't need long flowing hair to make you like me, pal.' The pixie cut was popularized by Audrey Hepburn in the late 1950's, followed by the model Twiggy, and reaching its apotheosis with Mia Farrow in Rosemary's Baby in the mid-1960s. But Shirley MacLaine, in my humble opinion, does it best as ‘Fran', the hard-working elevator operator girl who won't fall prey. Fran says in one of the film's most famous lines of dialogue, “When you're alone with a married man, you shouldn't wear mascara.” Shirley MacLaine's tender and deep performance as ‘Fran', lets us - and eventually Baxter - know that all is not well in the corporate system and the culture at large. One of the most ingenious uses of the Hollywood film adage ‘show don't tell' in filmmaking is the use of a simple compact make-up mirror to tell a major plot turn in The Apartment. Baxter's boss, Jeff D. Sheldrake played with brave impunity by silver screen star Fred MacMurray, who was so hated after this performance he would be aaccosted in the street by ladies chasting him for playing such a ‘dirty man'. Sheldrake calls Baxter into his office early in the film for what Baxter thinks is his promotion. Sheldrake says he's heard about Baxter's ‘key' - meaning his revolving brothel. Sheldrake wants in. Baxter obliges as Sheldrake is THE biggest fish. Later, in another summoning to the head honcho's office, Baxter gives him a floral compact he discovered in his couch, assuming it belongs to Sheldrake's mistress. The mirror inside the compact is cracked jagged down the middle splitting the image of whoever opens it in two. Baxter thinks nothing of it until he is modeling his bowler hat - the Junior Executive - for Fran. What do you think? he askes her. “After all, this is a conservative firm. I don't want people to think I'm an entertainer…”. In the midst of this, Fran helpful as ever, opens her compact to show Baxter how the bowler hat looks. To Baxter's deep inner shock, he puts ‘two and two together' and realizes Fran is in fact Sheldrake's mistress. The horror. The one that was ungettable gotten by the biggest fish with a wife and two kids. The shot of Lemmon reacting in the cracked compact is on the of most effective story and visual devices I can think of in cinema. Baxter sees himself split apart - two worlds: the happy go lucky Baxter, and the Baxter that is now privy to some vile stuff involving the one girl he actually likes.Fran sees his reaction and asks ‘what is it? Baxter takes a beat. “The mirror…it's broken.” Then Fran utters one of my favorite lines, “I know. I like it this way…makes me look the way I feel.” WOW. What a subversive revilation! What a profound utterance. Talk about Chekhov. ‘Makes me look the way I feel'. We begin to realize all is not right with Fran. Sheldrake is leading her on. She sets a boundary at the local Chinese restaurant where he apparently takes all his conquests - the back booth. But Sheldrake works her over, and convinces her he WILL leave his wife. After a tryst back at Baxter's apartment on Christmas Eve, Sheldrake must catch his evening train to make dinner with the family. Obviously having forgotten to get Fran anything of real signifigance for Christmas, he opens his wallet and hands her a hudred dollar bill. Even in today's anything goes era, it's a shockingly seedy gesture that is all too real. MacLaine's Fran takes it in stride - just like Baxter leaving his key under the rug for his bosses - and stands to take off her coat and gets ready to disrobe. Fran says something like, ‘well, you already paid for it.' Ugh. My heart broke! For Fran, for Baxter, for the sad inevitablity of it all. Trigger Warning. The last portion of this episode deals with suicide. Listen with care. Fran asks to be left alone. In the bathroom, she finds the hundred dollar bill in her purse, and realizing she will never be able to break this cycle, she sees Baxter's sleeping pills - Seconal - and takes them all. Meanwhile, Baxter is out drowning his sorrows with a hilarious companion, played by actress Hope Holiday. They get drunk and dance, looking for a place to get even closer, they head back to Baxter's apartment - “Might as well go to me. Everybody else does.” Once back at his place, he discovers Fran and races to his jocular doctor neighbor, played by Jack Kruschen (also Oscar nominated for his hilarious supporting role as Dr. Dreyfuss), and Fran narrowly misses checking out. While recovering at Baxter's playing gin rummy (which MacLaine was playing alot of as a peripheral member of the Rat Pack), Fran and him bond, more than bond. They fall into bliss and don't even know it. It's a beautiful chemistry, one that apparently as it evolved dictated the script. Sources say upon commencement of filming, the screenplay was a mere 40 pages, and Wilder liked to work that way and let things evolve. He was also famous for re-shooting after viewing dallies. MacLaine calls him 'sciencentific, brittle and caustic with women but made you better for it'. She tells a story about once such instance during a climactic scene with Fred MacMurray's ‘Sheldrake' where she couldn't get the emotion necessary for their break-up in the Chinese restaurant they frequent. MacLaine's native Canadian accent was coming out literally on the word ‘out.' After viewing the ‘rushes', he concluded they need to re-shoot, even calling MacLaine out in the screening room. MacLaine, much like Fran, didn't buckle under pressure, and they re-shot. On the day, Wilder called ‘Action' and excused himself to give her the privacy to do the scene. She hit it out of the park, uttering the lines from that take that made the final cut, “So you sit there and make yourself a cup of instant coffee while he rushes out to catch the train.”Well, long story short, Baxter and Fran end up together - thank Heavens. I could explain the plot twists to get them there, but I want to leave you with one final remberance of MacLaine's. When asked what it was like to work with Jack Lemmon, she said, “He would say, ‘Magic time!', every time the camera rolled. And then we knew we'd better make some magic.”Check out The Apartment on the big screen at The Film Forum in all its glory this Friday, Saturday and Sunday. And all of Jack Lemmon's ‘Magic time' over the next two weeks.

Styx erobern mit ihrem «Boat On The River» den Charts-Thron.
In this episode, host Shelby Bundy discusses the five rivers of the Underworld. Where the modern version of "hell" is imagined as fire and brimstone, the ancient Greeks saw an Underworld that was built around flowing rivers, each with a purpose and life. From meeting the ferryman at the Acheron to being faced with our broken oaths at the Styx, this episode considers the ways in which the waters of Hades held and transported the souls of the dead.✨ Courses led by Shelby:Learn Myth, Astrology, Tarot, Shadow Work, and all things magickal at TenthHouseRising.com, a school by Tamed Wild. A new course starts each month. Live sessions with recorded replays are available.
This week we continue the "Interviews with Jarvis" series by bringing you part 1 of his in-depth conversation with the elusive Midnight mastermind Athenar. In this discussion, Athenar digs deep into his musical history, describing his formative musical years, talking about his first albums and first concerts as an '80s kid in the Cleveland suburbs. You'll hear how he moved from band to band, experimenting and growing as a musician along the way, until he finally stumbled upon the Midnight concept in 2003. Along the way, Jarvis shares parallels from his own life and career, plus shared observations of the evolutionary musical journey that both men have navigated successfully.

Dive into the 2025 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction drama, sparking heated debates over Styx's shocking snub despite selling 50 million albums. Is the Hall favoring “irrelevant” acts like Oasis or Phish's cult-following jam band vibes over rock legends? Listeners flood the lines with spicy takes—Doug's ready to “duke it out” over Jeff's White Stripes vs. Led Zeppelin comparison, insisting Jack White's just a Robert Plant wannabe. Meanwhile, Mr. Rat Pack Can Dance schools Jeff on comma usage with a hilarious “Let's eat, Grandpa” jab, and Trump Hater Rhonda stirs the pot with a hypothetical: What if California, the world's fourth-largest economy, split from the U.S.? Jeremy crunches the numbers, proving the U.S. would still top China's economy, but listener Daniel reminds everyone of California's massive deficits. From Canada-for-California trade fantasies to nostalgic '80s California dreams, this episode is a rollercoaster of laughs, rants, and listener chaos. Catch the full madness and vote on the poll at KZOZ.com!
Episode 2257 – From penguin tariffs to AI Hitler voiceovers, this episode is like a political acid trip narrated by your drunk uncle who still owns Styx on vinyl. The Kid and El Pres dive face-first into Trump's latest nonsense, Hitler comparisons courtesy of ChatGPT (yeah, we went there), and the kind of rants that would make SNL's Weekend Update blush. NPR's getting neutered, Apple's losing billions, and someone please get Kid Rock a musical comeback before he morphs into Ted Nugent. Oh, and don't worry—there's plenty of thickness talk, porn plotlines for Marjorie Taylor Greene, and a new financial philosophy called losing 50K in two days. Grab a Triple Bock and buckle up.

On this episode of the Brews & Cruise Podcast, we're posted up in the Speakeasy Studio with a cold Bud Light in hand and a killer guest—Ty Styx. Ty's a true hustler, and in this conversation, he takes us deep into his journey as a self-made entrepreneur. We kick things off with how he got started in the concrete game, building a business from the ground up—literally—and how that first venture laid the foundation (pun intended) for everything that came after.From there, Ty walks us through his surprising leap into the world of sports cards, turning a personal passion into a full-blown retail shop. But it's not all highlight reels—he opens up about the gritty, unfiltered side of entrepreneurship: long nights, tough decisions, financial risk, and even some unexpected legal battles that tested his resolve.Through it all, Ty keeps it real—balancing business, family life, and the pressure of making it all work without losing sight of what matters. Whether you're a business owner, side hustler, or just someone looking for a spark of inspiration, this episode is packed with raw stories, practical insight, and the kind of motivation that sticks with you long after the final cheers.Grab a drink, settle in, and get ready for an episode that's equal parts business, real talk, and straight-up hustle.Drink: Bud LightStyx Concretehttps://styxconcrete.comNorthland Breakshttps://www.northlandbreaks.comSponsor: Jacobson Real Estate Cohttps://jacobsonrealestatecompany.comBrews & Cruise Podcasthttps://brewsandcruisepodcast.com
A bad day to be English, revisiting four of my least favorite people, a new board, Kirtaner's arrest, Karl Jobst is shown in court that Billy Mitchell is an absolute legend, Styx acquaints himself with alcohol, and Grummz is under attack because he loves Gamers too much.
A topic that Rich suggested, simply because he has been afraid Danny would come to him and want to do a Mr. Roboto Show, or something.

With How to Train Your Dragon, Chris Sanders taught us about human-dragon friendship. And now, with The Wild Robot, he shows us what happens when technology becomes stranded in the wilderness: a robot named Rozz learns to have a mother's love for a gosling named Brightbill. Paul, Arlo, and forever-guest Eric Sipple discuss how the film merges its natural and sci-fi elements, Sanders' evolution as a filmmaker, the stunning voice performance of Lupita Nyong'o, and what the movie says about parenthood. Plus, Paul gets Born Again with Daredevil and all the celebrities are dying.

(00:00) Golf, March Madness, and Match Play This chapter kicks off with a lively discussion about March Madness, with hopes and bets on whether the Indiana Hoosiers will make it past the bubble stage. There's some light-hearted banter about the need for better coaching and players for Indiana, reminiscing about their past glory days. The conversation then shifts to a humorous anecdote from the Approach Shot podcast featuring Michael Floyd, a former NFL player, who claims to hit his driver 400 yards. We explore the intricacies of such claims, touching on the challenges of controlling high-speed drives and the importance of precise club face positioning. Additionally, the chapter briefly mentions the specialized equipment used in long drive competitions, highlighting how they are designed to minimize spin for maximum distance. (13:06) Mental Strategy in Match Play Golf This chapter explores the psychological strategies employed in match play golf, emphasizing the importance of playing the opponent rather than just the course. We discuss various tactics such as creating pressure by not conceding putts, leveraging the advantage of being the first to reach the green, and using the mental state of the opponent to one's benefit. The conversation touches on the subtle art of maintaining a mental edge through seemingly simple actions, like practicing a putt after it's been conceded, to build confidence and unsettle the opponent. Additionally, we highlight the balance between mental games and pure skill, ultimately asserting that good golf skills are irreplaceable. This insightful discussion offers a glimpse into the mind games that complement the physical aspect of golf, with an understanding that both play crucial roles in winning matches. (21:45) The Beauty of Match Play Golf This chapter explores the engaging and competitive world of match play golf, emphasizing its unique appeal, especially during adverse weather conditions where winning a hole is all that matters. We discuss the prominence of match play in the Ryder Cup and its commonality in Europe, where four-ball matches are the norm, and how playing with uneven groups can be challenging. The conversation also touches on cultural experiences, such as playing golf in Scotland, and highlights the enjoyment of adapting to the local customs, including forming a "four ball" and joining other players for a round. Alongside the golf discussion, there's a light-hearted reflection on the host's relocation to Indian Wells, California, the diverse community there, and a nostalgic mention of attending a Styx concert, contrasting the youthful vibe of the Coachella music festival. (34:43) Navigating the Challenges of Alternate Shot This chapter takes us through the dynamics and challenges of playing alternate shot format in golf, highlighting the importance of camaraderie and mutual understanding between partners. We explore the mental pressures unique to this format, emphasizing the added emotional burden of playing not just for oneself, but also to avoid disappointing a partner. The conversation touches on how golf is as much a mental game as it is physical, often bringing about emotional responses, particularly in high-stakes settings like junior tournaments. We discuss the importance of focusing on personal achievements rather than solely on competitive outcomes, acknowledging that individual progress can be overshadowed by the broader competitive context. Additionally, we reflect on the intricacies of golf handicaps and the potential misunderstandings they can create, underscoring the need for a balanced perspective on personal performance in the sport. (44:05) Exploring Match Play Golf Variations This chapter focuses on the exciting ways to enhance your golf experience through different game formats. We explore the benefits of incorporating match play into your routine, emphasizing how it encourages strategic thinking and personal growth. Additionally, we discuss the intriguing concept of playing worst ball, where you tackle challenges by playing your least favorable shots. By alternating between worst ball and best ball on different holes, you can create a dynamic and engaging game, almost like a personal scramble. These variations promise to bring fun and improvement to your golf outings.
Pat chats with legendary REO Speedwagon vocalist and hit maker Kevin Cronin to discuss his career in music and promote the upcoming "Brotherhood Of Rock" tour featuring Styx, Don Felder and The Kevin Cronin Band!!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
REO Speedwagon have been one of the most reliable American rock bands for over 50 years. Certain members may come and go, but that name, that quality, and the excellent songs of lead singer Kevin Cronin have been a constant for decades. Unfortunately, that recently came to an end with the departure of founding member Bruce Hall. Plus, Bruce took the name with him. The good news is that most of the same players are playing most of the same songs you've grown to love and rely on, they're just called the Kevin Cronin Band now. Kevin joins us this week to explain the new reality before he goes out on tour with Styx and Don Felder where he'll play the entire Hi-Infidelity album as well as the hits. We also discuss his relationship with original guitarist Gary Richrath, the stories behind songs and albums, how they became known for ballads, and much more. Kevin is a genuinely nice man and he's working hard to continue to deliver the goods (and set the record straight). We're lucky he's still at it. www.kevincronin.com www.patreon.com/c/thehustlepod
