In Episode 11, Ashley joins me and we begin by talking about last episodes Money Dance poll question that generated quite a bit of response. We also discuss this week's poll question about dealing with in-laws. Then, our first caller Megan in Massachusetts joins us to talk about dealing with an abusive father years later (13:30). In a "He Said, She Said" first, Ashley and I give an update on Megan since her call was recorded last week and she had to confront her father this past weekend (58:10). Then Tina in Tennessee joins to tell us about her sister-in-law that has caused a lot of pain and anguish in her life (1:01:10). Tina's call is what sparks this week's poll question and we want to hear from anyone of you who've dealt with the same thing. Original theme music provided by Kate Bass and the song is titled "Blink."
This week come and listen to Tina do a crossover episode with Christine with Antidotes, Stories in Medicine Podcast! They chat about changes to the Gardesil vaccine in the news segment. Then Tina tells the story of military surgeon Jeffrey Macdonald from the 1980's movie Fatal Vision. Christine closes out the show with the wonderful story of Anna Mae Hays, the first female in the U.S. Armed Forces to be promoted to a General Officer rank!
Episode 5 of Phil Hulett and Friends featured an Oktoberfest conversation with John Holl, author of The American Craft Beer Cook Book. Did Phil invent the beer aspic? Who knew Jennifer had the highest beer IQ in the room? Next, Patrick Scott Patterson talks video game violence and makes a pretty good case against blaming video games like Grand Theft Auto for the acts of real life mayhem, though Jay challenged him along the way. Then Tina and Sabina from TLC Network’s reality TV show "Alaskan Women: Looking for Love" check in, and boy are they a couple of firecrackers. And yes, Jay makes a pass at them, twice. Finally, a fascinating conversation with inventor Aaron Foss. He’s figured out how to block robo calls, streamlined the documentation process for child cancer patients, and revolutionized the buffalo wings dipping process.
Welcome to SPECTRE etc. This is the James Bond podcast where we discuss the ins and the outs of each film. In this episode, we take the Pierce out of Brosnan and reminisce about mid-90s technology. Join us as we call in on an old flame with ”Goldeneye”. * The pre-titles sequence introduces our new Bond with a failed mission, bookended by successful stunts. Then Tina takes a turn at the titles track as great graphics get us revved up for this new age of James. * Bond visits a casino and tries to stay on top of Xenia, but an Admiral pulls rank. In order to steal a helicopter, Xenia squeezes an ID out of the Admiral, then squeezes into a jumpsuit. * Boris and Natalya (great with computers, not so good with the puns) are the only survivors when Onatopp and General Ourumov open fire inside a Russian satellite station. * Meanwhile, Bond visits MI6 to introduce a much-improved Moneypenny, a somehow-still-employed Tanner, and the best M yet. M gives Bond a bourbon and a dressing-down, then sends him to St. Petersburg. A quick trip to Q’s lab provides more comic relief than useable technology. * In Russia, James meets an old foe who has become a new friend. This leads to reuniting with Valentin, who sends James to a spa to meet Janus. Onatopp is there, so things get steamy before Bond convinces her to take him to Janus. Bond’s Russian reunions continue when it emerges that Janus is yet another old friend - not a two-faced Roman god, but a two-faced ex-MI6 agent. * Bond is tranquilised and wakes up strapped into a helicopter, alongside Natalya. James has to use his head to escape. Bond & Natalya snitch to the Russian authorities, before Ourumov creates some friction in the non-fiction section. * James drives a tank through the city streets, and then somehow uses it to sneak up on Ourumov’s train. Ourumov later confuses this train with a battering ram, which is the beginning of the end for Ourumov. * Bond and Natalya take a brief break from the action to give James time to “find himself” with a beach-side sunset. Once 007 has found James, it is time to find Janus (if he'd found a copy of You Only Live Twice, Bond may have found this lair sooner). * Inside the lair, Bond learns that Alec is doing all of this in order to rob a bank. Boris unknowingly tests 007’s ability to count to three. Thankfully, Bond can count to three, so is able to escape to the satellite dish. Alec follows James outside, but falls from the dish - before the dish falls on him. * The film ends with a totally plausible helicopter extraction and a field full of Marines. And of course, keep checking back for a link to our petition to have Sam Smith write & record a song called “That’s My Lunch”!
