What does it really take to make a documentary that finds an audience and earns its money back?“You have to have the passion for the story and the passion to do the work, because it will not be easy.”— Joe AmodeiIf you want to make a documentary, the hardest questions are not the ones about cameras. They are about access, money, and whether anyone will ever watch it. In Documentary First Episode 283, a distributor who has spent more than forty-five years releasing films, and has now directed his first one, gives 7 filmmaking tips that cut straight to those questions, from getting access to a famous subject to setting a budget that can actually earn its money back.In Episode 283, Christian Taylor sits down with Joe Amodei, the founder of Virgil Films and a film distributor of more than forty-five years, who has released hundreds of documentaries including Super Size Me, the Oscar-nominated Restrepo, and Forks Over Knives. After decades of releasing other people's films and learning from the mistakes he watched filmmakers make, Joe finally made his own: Cold War in Philly, the story of the night in 1976 when the Philadelphia Flyers beat the Soviet Red Army. He came to find out whether his own advice would hold up.The throughline is simple and a little daring: a career distributor became a first-time director, determined not to repeat the mistakes he had watched other filmmakers make. Along the way he explains how he got access to a legendary NHL team through its alumni association, why he kept the budget under $250,000, why a built-in audience mattered so much, and a first documentary that sold out theaters across Philadelphia. Running underneath it is the Cold War itself: the KGB minders, the players who hated the government but not each other, and the heroes Joe got on camera before they were gone.IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:How to get access to famous people and organizations, through the alumni associationWhat Joe did once he was in the room: prove yourself, be yourself, and be honestThe deals he had to clear before filming, the team, the owner, and the league, and that they took nearly a yearWhy a built-in audience is what decides whether an indie film succeedsWhat to budget for a documentary, and why Joe will not spend more than $250,000 on an indie docHow Joe made sure to get the players on camera, including two who passed away after their interviewsWhy his first film took two and a half years, and what he would do differently next timeThe qualities that make a film distributor worth trusting: answering calls, paying on time, being honestThe two things Joe says it takes to finish a filmWhy Joe believes the work is worth it, from the players' gratitude to a film that outlives everyoneCHAPTERS0:00 Becoming a First-Time Director2:42 How Do You Get Access?9:33 Capturing Heroes in Time13:04 Structuring the Documentary21:20 The Grind of Production28:11 Selling Out Theaters38:32 What Makes a Film Succeed?41:37 What Should a Doc Budget Be?44:48 How Do You Keep Going?47:38 Is Filmmaking Worth It?FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSHow do you get access to famous people or organizations for a documentary?Go through the alumni association. Joe Amodei got the Philadelphia Flyers by working with the team's alumni group, which controls appearances for former players. Nearly every major sports team and league has one, usually run by one or two people. Find that person, earn their trust, and they can open the door to the whole roster. Then be ready to handle the separate contracts with the team, the owner, and the league.How much does it cost to make a documentary?For an independent documentary, Joe Amodei's rule is not to spend more than $250,000. The reasoning is about return: know what the film can realistically earn back before you set the documentary budget, and understand the market you are spending against. A built-in audience and disciplined spending give a documentary a real chance to make its money back.What makes an independent film succeed in today's market?A built-in audience. Joe Amodei says a film does best when people already care about the subject before it exists. Cold War in Philly had Flyers fans waiting for it, and the sold-out theatrical run followed. If you cannot name the audience for your idea, Joe's view is you might not want to make it. When you can, the film has a base to launch from and can cross over to viewers beyond the core, people who told Joe they were not even hockey fans.What does it take to succeed as a documentary filmmaker?Two things, according to Joe Amodei: passion and willpower. Passion for the story carries you through a process that will not be easy, and willpower keeps you going when the edit stalls and the work is not moving as fast as you wanted. You owe it to your investors, your subjects, and the people who gave up their time to sit for you. His advice is simple: you cannot give up.What should you look for in a film distributor?Christian describes what makes Joe a distributor worth trusting: he answers calls and emails, pays on time, sends the reports that are due, and is honest. She notes that this basic reliability is rarer than it should be in the business, and it is exactly what separates a distributor you can trust from one you cannot.DOCUVIEW DÉJÀ VU PICKSIn the DocuView Déjà Vu segment, Joe Amodei highlighted two documentaries from the Virgil Films slate: She Was Here, about the young actress from Poltergeist, and Broken Brothers, directed by Jeff Levine, a future Documentary First guest.

The most controversial man in professional wrestling tells all in the story of the upstart TNA with stories that will make your jaw drop.Vince Russo, known as the most successful writer in the history of professional wrestling, brought the World Wrestling Federation to its greatest success during the Attitude Era, creating a brand of wrestling that brought the industry to record heights. Three decades later, Russo is still talked about as one of the most influential men in the industry.Following the success of his first two books, Forgiven (covering his years with Vince McMahon's WWE) and Rope Opera: How WCW Killed Vince Russo (his time with Ted Turner's rival), TOTAL NONSTOP AGONY: The Rise and Fall of TNA picks up Russo's story as he begins work with the upstart TNA, where the daily drama proved greater than ever. The storylines here feature an indecisive millionaire southern belle, Dixie Carter, who cared more about her image then her wrestling company; the demise of his friendship with his best friend, Wrestling Superstar Jeff Jarrett; the network executives at Spike TV, who understood very little about the business they were in; and the return of his mortal enemies from WCW, Eric Bischoff and Hulk Hogan.Russo's TNA stories are epic, and many have never been told before. The politics, runaway egos, backstabbing, and underhandedness make the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills look like Little Women. Finally, the time has come to discuss TNA: this is the tell-all that no one has ever dared, and no one can tell the story better than Vince Russo.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 84: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (3:00) SPECIAL COMMENT: Back from a week off just in time to put the podcast on health hiatus...details within today's supersized edition. Plus, befitting the time off, some meta pictures on how Democrats should plan for what they want this country to look like on its 300th anniversary, if it lasts that long. Will we have jailed Trump and gotten back the money he took? Undone his damage? Eliminated the anachronistic idea that Wyoming should have as many senators as California? Let the Supreme Court continue to lie, cheat and steal the democracy from under us? As John Candy said in "Splash": Think big, be big, my friend. MORE IMMEDIATELY: Whaddya mean the Governor of Virginia hasn't been BRIEFED on the way to overturn her state's Supreme Court's usurpation of redistricting? Why the hell not Hakeem Jeffries? Anybody notice Trump is simply rotating the same three lies about Iran? Why are only independent journalists like Garrett Graff still covering the WHCD non-shooting when the New York Times is doing 31 paragraphs on the future of the dinner like anybody gave a crap? AND MOST IMPORTANTLY: stop saying Trump is painting everything GOLD. That color is not GOLD. It is the color of WEE WEE. Say it. Use the clinical terms, use the gutter terms. The gutter terms define this idiot president. Stop saying gold when you mean whizzzzzzzzzzzzzz. B-Block (56:00) ON THE PASSING OF TED TURNER: Hard to believe few of the obituaries mentioned how he also invented 7-day-a-week sports on national television. Or how Jane Fonda kept him from destroying himself in, like, 1982. One particularly harrowing saga had him telling the lowest ranking staffer at CNN's Washington Bureau which way, when he finally decided he'd do it, he'd do it. And this is said with admiration and affection for the man who created the place where I and so many of the figures of the last 45 years began our TV careers. C-Block (1:30:00) ALL TED ALL THE TIME: I was holding back until I was certain I wouldn't jinx him. My beloved first rescue dog, Ted, was up against it last fall. I took him to the University of Florida for life-saving open heart surgery and boy, did they! Eight hours on the table, eight hours of SICU, all for an eight pound dog and now - he's not even on any medications! It's a long story and I would insist it's worth hearing it. And if you have a dog (or know of one) moving from Mitral Valve Disease to Heart Failure, maybe this will provide you with hope - and an option.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
RUNDOWN Mitch and Hotshot dive into the growing obsession surrounding Mariners prospects Cade Anderson and Colt Emerson, debating the impossible question every fan wrestles with: when is a young star actually "ready"? Mitch argues the bigger story right now might be the excitement around the kids in the minors rather than the inconsistent big-league club itself. The Mariners No-Table crew reacts to Seattle wasting another opportunity to gain ground in the AL West after dropping a series to the White Sox, with the conversation centering on Cal Raleigh's brutal slump, a lineup that can't hit with runners in scoring position, and whether the offense is fundamentally flawed. Joe Doyle questions whether Rob Refsnyder's roster spot is already in jeopardy, while Brady Farkas warns the team is running out of time to keep calling these stretches "frustrating." Christian Caple joins Mitch to break down the strange reality of opening the season with the Apple Cup, why the Demond Jr. Williams NIL saga probably won't matter unless he struggles, and whether fans are already primed to overreact to every interception. They also dig into Washington's biggest roster questions — especially at running back after Adam Mohammed's departure — plus why Jedd Fisch is betting heavily on young talent instead of portal mercenaries. Derek Berg joins Mitch to talk about the long, winding golf journey that finally landed him in the PGA Championship at age 44 — from getting dropped off at Carnation Golf Course as a kid to grinding through mini tours, teaching lessons, and surviving years of close calls at the PGA Professional Championship. It's a candid, emotional conversation about chasing a dream long after most people would've quit.

Savage cheers a Texas father who fatally shot a carjacker threatening his family and says he deserves a Medal of Freedom, not charges. He eulogizes CNN founder Ted Turner, praising Trump's graceful response despite their political differences. He rips into the wellness industry's expensive longevity gadgets and cryotherapy fads, calling them moronic compared to basic nutrition. He closes by reading from his newly republished book "Reducing the Risk of Alzheimer's."
Tony opens the show by talking about what he's planted so far in his vegetable garden, and he also talks about the Nats, the state of his golf game, and he also talks about the passing of Ted Turner and John Sterling, and about the threat of the hantavirus.

You know it's gonna be a weird day when the show opens with Rizz realizing his daughter's cheer banquet wasn't “folding chairs and sheet cake” but instead a full-on country club gala requiring a suit, tie, speeches, awards, emotional endurance, and apparently enough rubber chicken to bankrupt a catering company. Nothing says “supportive father” like sitting through four straight hours of banquet politics while pretending not to judge the speeches in your head.From there, the gang dives straight into the viral Busch Stadium incident where fans had to physically stop a guy from potentially falling from the upper deck. The discussion somehow turns into a complete breakdown of dangerous stadium seating, ballpark netting, drunk fan physics, and why Moon believes geese and gravity are America's greatest threats. Which honestly? Fair.Speaking of geese… apparently St. Louis now belongs to them. The crew discusses the annual return of Canada geese nesting season, why those feathered psychopaths become hyper-aggressive this time of year, and how entire college campuses basically surrender to goose gangs every spring. There's talk of fake coyotes, migratory bird treaties, goose chases, and the emotional humiliation of running from an animal that looks like it pays taxes.And because this is somehow still not enough chaos for one funny podcast, the conversation shifts to Yellowstone bear attacks, Mother's Day pressure, and the discovery that Father's Day is mostly just a yearly reminder of unresolved family trauma. Rafe perfectly explains why Father's Day social media posts always feel like passive-aggressive therapy sessions while Mother's Day gets treated like a national holiday requiring military-level planning.Meanwhile, King Scott prepares for his first Mother's Day with a pregnant wife, Moon contemplates fleeing town entirely to avoid gift expectations, and Rizz introduces “The Ralph Rule,” which may or may not destroy families nationwide. Add in deadbeat parents losing passports over unpaid child support, brunch recommendations turning into food obsession, and several near-death stories involving stadium upper decks, and you've got another completely normal day for The Rizzuto Show.This funny podcast continues doing what it does best: mixing weird news, sports chaos, parenting struggles, sarcastic commentary, celebrity-level overreactions, and St. Louis nonsense into one giant comedy blender. Whether you're here for the goose warfare, the Busch Stadium insanity, or the emotional collapse surrounding Mother's Day reservations, this episode delivers the exact kind of daily comedy disaster fans expect from The Rizzuto Show.The internet woke up in full panic mode after Instagram launched a massive bot purge that vaporized millions of followers from celebrities, influencers, and probably your cousin who suddenly became a “fitness entrepreneur” during the pandemic. Kylie Jenner lost 14 million followers in a blink, and suddenly everybody online started acting like follower counts never mattered anyway. Sure, Jan.The gang dives into the chaos of fake followers disappearing, why advertisers are finally cracking down, and how even normal accounts can tell when the bots get exterminated. It's basically robot Hunger Games happening quietly in the background of social media while everybody keeps posting blurry vacation photos and motivational quotes stolen from Pinterest.Then somehow the conversation turns into Angry Birds officially entering the Video Game Hall of Fame. Yes. Angry Birds. The little phone game that destroyed productivity in offices across America is now standing next to gaming legends like Doom and Oregon Trail. The crew debates what games deserve Hall of Fame status, why Guitar Hero absolutely got robbed, and how Tony Hawk's Pro Skater soundtracks basically raised an entire generation of emotionally confused skateboard kids.There's also a deep dive into concert experiences at the Sphere in Las Vegas, including No Doubt, Metallica, Tool, and the realization that Tool might actually be the perfect Sphere band because nobody in Tool has ever looked interested in being on stage anyway. The visual effects do the heavy lifting while the audience collectively melts into a psychedelic lava lamp.Moon talks about how video games became one of the biggest discovery tools for music, including stories about Story of the Year songs unexpectedly blowing up after landing in racing games and MLB titles. If you ever found your favorite band because you crashed fake cars in Need for Speed, congratulations — you were part of history.This might genuinely be one of the greatest confidence scams ever attempted: a French professor allegedly invents an entire prestigious academic award, buys himself a medal, gathers actual respected intellectuals, and somehow convinces everyone he's basically the LeBron James of language studies. Honestly? Kind of inspirational. The gang immediately realizes that most awards are basically made up anyway, which quickly escalates into creating fake international honors like “The Grand Cross of the Order of the Toasted Ravioli.” Because if you say anything confidently enough with enough gold trim attached to it, people will apparently clap.From there, the show takes a hard left directly into psychological warfare after King Scott introduces one of the most cursed “Would You Rather?” questions in show history: permanent Cheeto fingers… or taste buds in your butt. Yes. Really. The discussion somehow gets worse when Rafe introduces the horrifying concept of “the second tasting,” permanently ruining food, digestion, and probably several listeners' lunch breaks. It's the kind of conversation that could only happen on a daily comedy show powered entirely by sleep deprivation, bad decisions, and unchecked access to microphones.Rafe's E-Memoriam segment also delivers pure chaos this week. The crew says goodbye to Ask Jeeves, the once-beloved internet butler who politely helped people search embarrassing questions before Google became the all-knowing digital overlord living inside everyone's phones. The nostalgia spiral includes Geocities, LimeWire, Rotten Dot Com, terrible internet decisions, and the realization that the early internet somehow survived entirely on flashing skull gifs and confusion.Meanwhile, Rafe continues his quest toward honorary membership in the Blackfoot Nation, which now involves fingerprinting, Canadian bureaucracy, Wayne Gretzky references, and an unexpectedly spiritual trip to a UPS Store kiosk. What should have been a simple government process becomes an epic fantasy journey involving sacred scanners, sweaty palms, and “Hakuna Moscato” novelty packing tape. It's impossible to explain properly because this daily comedy show exists in a dimension where every normal story mutates into folklore by segment three.The episode wraps with real RIPs including Alex Ligertwood from Santana and media giant Ted Turner, proving The Rizzuto Show can somehow balance heartfelt moments alongside conversations about whether your butthole could identify ranch seasoning.If you love comedy podcasts, funny stories, weird news, sarcastic humor, pop culture commentary, St. Louis radio chaos, and hearing grown adults emotionally unravel in real time, this episode delivers everything you could possibly want from a daily comedy show… and several things you absolutely did not ask for.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/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Scary Scenes Emerge as Cardinals Fan Hangs Off Upper Deck Ledge, Major Accident AvertedCanada geese arrive in St. Louis for nesting season15-year-old, 28-year-old attacked by mother grizzly with cubs in Yellowstone National ParkUS will start revoking passports for thousands of parents who owe child support‘Angry Birds', ‘Silent Hill' and ‘FIFA' added to World Video Game Hall Of FameFrench professor facing probe for creating fake Nobel-style prize - only to award it to himselfMan, 34, Arrested For DWI (Droning While Intoxicated)Tampa officers find beer can in 'Happy Meal' during DUI investigation'Huff and puff and blow his house down': Woman burns down boyfriend's house because she was 'p—ed off' he stole from herTeens drive lawn mower into Target as part of social media stuntGroom arrested moments before wedding for failing to disclose he was registered pedophileSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Bomani Jones is joined by Domonique Foxworth for another Thursday episode of The Right Time.

On this episode of Grilling JR, Jim Ross and Conrad Thompson dive into some of the biggest conversations shaping the wrestling business today. JR explains why taking wrestling to new venues and fresh markets is a smart move for the industry, and how changing the atmosphere can re-energize both fans and talent alike. JR also reflects on his relationship with Ted Turner, sharing stories about Turner's loyalty, leadership, and the support he showed throughout JR's career. The conversation then turns to the realities of wrestling contracts, as JR breaks down why a five-year deal doesn't always mean a guaranteed five-year run in today's business climate. Plus, JR gives his thoughts on the evolving "TKO playbook," how corporate decision-making is reshaping the wrestling landscape, and why reducing the number of house shows may ultimately help preserve talent health and extend careers. All that and JR takes us inside the pages of his incredible book, "Business Is About To Pick Up" for his telling of the historic WrestleMania 25 match between The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels.

Tax the rich? More like tax the jobs away. Billionaire hedge fund titan Ken Griffin is scaling back in New York City and pouring jobs into Miami as a DIRECT response to socialist NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani's “tax the rich” antics. This could be the beginning of the wealthy exodus Democrats fear most. In a stunning move, Griffin cited Mamdani's creepy viral video — filmed outside his $238 million penthouse — as the final straw. Instead of expanding Citadel's massive Park Avenue project in NYC, the firm is supersizing its Miami headquarters. Other Wall Street giants like Apollo are eyeing moves to Florida or Texas too. New Yorkers are about to feel the pain of lost jobs, shrinking tax revenue, and a dying financial capital. We also cover: David Hasselhoff gets a NEW hip & knee. President Obama on aliens & message to Republicans. Property taxes are UNCONSTITUTIONAL! Delta to cut snacks & drinks on short flights. CNN founder Ted Turner dies at 87. This story exposes the dangerous reality of socialist policies: Attack job creators and they leave, taking opportunities with them. Griffin and his team have already paid billions in taxes while supporting major charities — yet radical Democrats treat them like enemies.
The internet fired the first shot this week when a viral post claimed it's “unattractive” for grown men to play video games. Naturally, The Rizzuto Show treated this like a matter of national importance. Is gaming just another hobby like golf, fishing, or watching football all Sunday… or is there genuinely something suspicious about a fully grown adult with six monitors and a glowing gaming throne screaming into a headset at 2AM?The gang breaks down the entire debate, including whether hobbies should define attractiveness, why fish pictures on dating profiles are apparently controversial now, and whether GTA VI is about to destroy productivity across America. Rizz admits he's probably diving back into gaming when the new Grand Theft Auto drops, while Rafe unpacks childhood trauma from being forced to watch his dad dominate Sega Genesis speed runs. Honestly, therapy probably would've been cheaper.Then things take a hard left turn into celebrity chaos during Crap on Celebrities. Ted Turner's death sparks a conversation about one of the wildest résumés in media history — from founding CNN and TBS to owning wrestling companies, sports teams, bison herds, and apparently preparing an actual apocalypse broadcast tape for the end of the world. Because nothing says “media visionary” quite like having a backup hymn ready for nuclear annihilation.Elsewhere in this comedy podcast, Robert Downey Jr. takes shots at influencer culture, Matthew Lillard continues his unbelievable redemption arc after Quentin Tarantino accidentally rebooted his career by insulting him, and Hayden Panettiere's memoir rollout gets the full skeptical Rizz Show treatment. Plus: Moon reviews the new Lord of the Flies adaptation, the guys debate whether Sting is secretly becoming a billionaire cartoon villain by refusing to leave his kids inheritance money, and Zach Bryan somehow trends after yelling a sketch-comedy quote at a fan.There's also talk about Superman sequels, Hocus Pocus 3, The Bear ending after season five, weird Mother's Day songs, Mr. Beast's unsettling eye situation, and one of the most chaotic porno birthday segments in recent memory. So basically: a totally normal episode of your favorite daily podcast.If you love a daily podcast packed with sarcastic humor, weird news, entertainment gossip, celebrity fails, and the kind of conversations that make you question how this show stays on the air, you're in the right place.

This episode of The Rizzuto Show starts with a simple moral question and somehow ends with the entire room debating whether permanent Cheeto dust is worse than having taste buds in your butt. So yeah… business as usual for your favorite funny podcast.The chaos begins when King Scott asks the gang a hypothetical that immediately exposes everybody's true character: would you rather win $25,000 for yourself or secretly let your best friend win $100,000? Sounds wholesome at first… until everyone starts trying to loophole the situation, negotiate “finder's fees,” and openly admit they'd probably take the money and just buy dinner afterward. Friendship has never looked weaker.Then things take a sharp turn directly into nightmare fuel when another “Would You Rather?” gets dropped on the table: permanent Cheeto dust fingers you can NEVER clean… or taste buds in your butt. Suddenly the studio becomes a think tank for the dumbest scientific discussion ever recorded. Moon explains why finger residue makes him physically uncomfortable. Rafe starts calculating how to avoid tasting his own farts. Rubber gloves become a survival strategy. Nobody comes out looking good here.As if that wasn't enough, the episode also includes:Moon's horror at people licking sauce off their fingersA massage therapist wearing rubber glovesThe realization that gloves technically solve the Cheeto problemRafe inventing a “berry-only diet” to improve hypothetical fart flavorAn alarming amount of discussion about digestive consequencesThen the Riz Quiz kicks off and things somehow become even more embarrassing. Contestants crumble under elementary-level trivia questions while the gang loses their minds over people forgetting how leap years work. Adults fail questions about rainbows, geography, oceans, and basic science while Tony absolutely steamrolls the competition like a trivia machine sent from the future.This funny podcast somehow combines friendship betrayal, snack-food body horror, caller meltdowns, and public humiliation into one perfectly chaotic daily comedy experience. If you enjoy sarcastic humor, weird debates, pop culture nonsense, and the sound of grown adults emotionally unraveling before 10am, welcome home.The Rizzuto Show continues to be the premier destination for bad decisions, ridiculous hypotheticals, and the kind of conversations that absolutely should not happen on live radio… yet somehow do every single day.And yes, we're still thinking about the butt taste buds.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Texas ‘Karen' Kicks a C8 Z06 at a Gas Station Over the Sound of His Exhaust'I donated my mum's body to Alzheimer's research but found out they blew her up in the experiment'Two women accused of stealing cash, machine, attempting ATM break-in at Bland bar'NO TIP' fury in Fulton as Domino's driver accused of hitting customer‘Unfortunate:' Classes canceled at NW suburban school after resource officer misplaces weaponWoman accused of giving tattoo to toddlerHow the Explosive 'Pop Rocks and Coke' Legend Destroyed an Iconic Candy Brand“It Is Extremely Unattractive”: Woman Said Men Who Play Video Games Are a Turnoff and the Internet DisagreedCNN founder Ted Turner, a pioneer of cable TV news, dies at 87Celebrities Who've Struggled with Lewy Body DementiaRobert Downey Jr. Says ‘It's Absolute Horses—‘ to Declare That Social Media Influencers Are the ‘Stars of the Future'Delta ending food and beverage service on shorter flightsSecret Service Officer Arrested, Allegedly Masturbated in Hotel Hallway After Trump AssignmentYour 2027 Car Will Decide If You Can DriveSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Solomon emphasizes the implications of these events and their potential twists.Listeners will also hear about the Supreme Court's refusal to reconsider a landmark redistricting case in Louisiana, which could reshape the landscape of gerrymandering across the nation.

On this episode of 83 Weeks, Eric Bischoff and Conrad Thompson pull back the curtain on some of wrestling's hottest business topics and biggest misconceptions. Eric explains why he believes Ted Turner is one of the biggest reasons WWE is still thriving today, and how the Monday Night Wars forever changed the industry. He also dives into the reality of talent contracts, discussing why a WWE deal never guaranteed The New Day lifetime job security and why, sometimes, audiences simply move on from an act. The guys welcome gimmick attorney, Michael Dockins to the show. Mike breaks down the often misunderstood 90-day non-compete clause, revealing how it actually works behind the scenes, while Mike and Eric analyzes the new "delightfully vague" language appearing in modern talent agreements. Plus, Bischoff gives his take on the myth of "no-cut contracts" and why guaranteed deals aren't always what fans think they are. Business takes center stage as Eric praises TKO Group Holdings's partnership with ESPN, calling it a brilliant marketing move for the future of wrestling media. He also reflects on the financial disasters of World Championship Wrestling house shows, revealing just how much money the company burned during its peak years. And in one of the wildest conversations yet, Eric explores how OpenAI and artificial intelligence could help shape future wrestling storylines before 83 Weeks actually uses ChatGPT to fantasy book the main event of SummerSlam!

When the U.S. and Israel bomb Iran and start a war, we know about it moments after it's started — sometimes even moments before. When Russian tanks cross the border into Ukraine, we watch as it's happening. This access to immediacy — our ability to be there as history is unfolding — much of that is possible, thanks to the vision of CNN founder Ted Turner.Turner transformed the media industry and revolutionized television news when he launched the Cable News Network — CNN — in 1980.
