Howie Mandel arrives at the only place on earth he doesn't need to worry about germs... the TYSO studio (YOUTUBE EP. AVAILABLE TUESDAY). Rick and Howie slowly realize this may be an alternative universe and Rick is possibly the America's Got Talent judge's cloned younger self. Howie becomes the first guest to actually approve of the TYSO home studio and marvels at Rick's achievements as they dive into conversations about investing, OCD, and where Bobby from "Bobby's World" is today. We get the voiceover for the Marshall Rug Gallery commercial we didn't know we needed and find out why Rick is the Scorsese of podcasts.  As the conversation progresses, the two comics start to realize the parallels in their lives, most notably growing up as outsiders, getting in trouble at school, and not knowing when they've gone too far. Rick challenges Howie's outlook on caring about the audience's opinion and what the intention of jokes and pranks really are. Howie gives us his origin story and how he came up in the industry, as well as a brilliant anecdote about being banned from the Tonight Show. They round out the episode with a really interesting chat, unpacking intention and survival which makes Rick emotional, only to be given an inspirational chat from Howie that honestly… we all could use .  If you want exclusive episodes, live Q&A zooms, and unseen clips from past guests, go to https://www.patreon.com/takeyourshoesoff And of course without our sponsors we wouldn't have near as many animations so please support the following brands which supports us :)  BETTERHELP: Listeners get 10% off their first month at HTTPS://BetterHelp.com/tyso  NOOM : https://www.NOOM.com/tyso  to sign up for your Noom trial today!

Fact Check My Feed: More Kids Can Get COVID-19 Vaccines. Now What? Many parents around the U.S. breathed a sigh of relief—or an even more intense emotional reaction—at the long-awaited news that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had signed off on advising the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for children aged 5 to 11 this week. The recommendation came after a unanimous vote from the agency's committee of outside vaccine experts. And last week, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorized the shot after a review of clinical trial data found both low risk and high efficacy in a smaller, kid-calibrated dose of the vaccine. University of Saskatchewan virologist Angela Rasmussen joins Ira to look at the data behind the FDA's long-anticipated decision. They also discuss the rationale behind booster shots for high-risk adults, what it means that deer in Iowa have been caught transmitting the virus, COVID-pragmatic holiday planning, and other pandemic news.   In First Real-World Experiment, Red Seaweed Cuts Methane In Cows By More Than Half Methane emissions are a hot topic—largely because it's a big contributor to climate change. Methane makes up about 10% of human-caused greenhouse gas emissions. 27% of that comes from the burps of ruminant animals, such as cows. In April, Science Friday did a story about research that showed promising results when steers were fed small amounts of the red algae Asparagopsis in their diets. At the time, these experiments were only done in a closely controlled university setting. Now, the first real-world study on a working dairy farm has been completed. The results? Methane released by the seaweed-eating cows was 52% less on average than their non-seaweed-munching counterparts. Coming on the heels of the Biden administration's methane emissions reduction plan, SciFri producer Kathleen Davis sits down with three key players in this milestone: Joan Salwen, CEO of Blue Ocean Barns in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, the company that produces the Asparagopsis seaweed powder; Dr. Breanna Roque, animal science consultant at Blue Ocean Barns in Townsville, Queensland, Australia; and Albert Straus, founder and CEO of Straus Family Creamery in Marshall, California.   The Science Friday Theme Song That Got Lost In The Mail Back in 1998, comedian and author Steve Allen, first host of The Tonight Show, joined Ira on Science Friday to talk about the importance of critical thinking. Allen had written a book called Dumbth, calling for improvements in the public's logical reasoning abilities. Ira was a longtime fan of Allen's, and eagerly invited him to discuss the book. During the interview, Allen also took to the studio piano to play his signature song, “This Could Be The Start of Something Big.” As the comedian was leaving, Ira jokingly remarked that Science Friday could use a theme song of its own. Several years later, while cleaning the cluttered SciFri office, staff uncovered an unopened box of mail—including an envelope from Hollywood containing a single cassette tape, marked “Theme Song For Science Friday—Steve Allen.” As part of Science Friday's 30th anniversary celebrations, Ira and SciFri director Charles Bergquist recount the story of the tape, and finally premiere the song, written and performed by the late Steve Allen.

Countless musicians of far lesser accomplishment have probably made similar statements regarding their own personal creative process, but when the confession comes from John Waite – whose been successfully writing, recording and performing some of the most listenable, enduring and appreciated popular music for more than 35 years – one cannot help but both recognize and marvel at the shimmering legacy of this British born rock star. The ride began when Waite was tapped as bassist and lead vocalist for the Babys who rocketed to Top 20 chart positions with a pair of infections hits, “Isn't it Time” from the band's sophomore LP, Broken Heart in 1977 and the monster ballad, “Every Time I Think of You” off 1978's Head First. But it was the album's rhythmically aggressive and seductive title track where fans got their first glimpse of the authentic John Waite, a no-holds-barred rock n' roll performer devoted heart and soul to live performance and making sure every fan in the audience left the concert hall just as elated and exhausted as the band they'd paid to see. After John Lennon's assassination, December 9, 1980, a bizarre thing happened during one of those furious Baby's performances when John was pulled from the stage by an overzealous fan during an encore. The freak event seriously injured his knee and the group disbanded shortly thereafter. From the ashes of the Baby's, however, rose an abundant and prodigious solo career, ignited by the well-received release, Ignition, that featured the single, “Change,” which rode the AOR charts for weeks in 1982, the year a new cable channel that would alter the course of popular media culture called MTV launched. At the forefront of its early play list was the video for the Holly Knight-penned track that in 1985, was included on the platinum-selling Vision Quest soundtrack. John's next solo effort, 1984's No Brakes, did exactly what the title inferred, barreling at runaway train speed to international acclaim and U.S. platinum success thanks to the smash hit, “Missing You,” which did not stop until it reached Number 1 on the Billboard's Hot 100 Singles, Album Rock Tracks and Adult Contemporary charts. The following up single, “Tears” was a top 10 hit on the Billboard Mainstream Rock charts. Continuing to evolve as both a songwriter and formidable stage presence, Mask of Smiles was released in 1985, possessing a pair of muscular hit melodies, ”Every Step of the Way,” and “If Anybody Had a Heart,” which appeared on the soundtrack to the 1986 motion picture, About Last Night starring Demi Moore. John's fourth solo LP, Rover's Return, highlighted by the superlative, “These Times Are Hard for Lovers.” The same season that Bon Jovi was urging two lovers to live on a prayer, John delivered an aortal anthem of timeless resonance. “Baby we can make it ‘cause our love will pull us through/ these times are hard for lovers its down to me and you/Nothing's gonna break us if we hang on to what's true, these times are hard for lovers, I believe I you.” “I don't have a plan and most of the songwriting is a knee jerk reaction of being alive. I try to speak from an honest place where the listener can both hear and feel where I'm coming from; the job is mine, to help them understand me. There's a real need as an artist to express who you are and where you're coming from.” A long and prodigious career often combines composition and interpretation, like in 1990 when John recorded the Martin Page and Bernie Taupin-penned track, “Deal for Life” for the Days of Thunder soundtrack. But two years prior to that cinematic adventure, superbly performing another songwriter's work led to one of the biggest hits on John Waite's illustrious resume. In 1988, a reunion with former Baby's band mates, Jonathan Cain and Ricky Phillips –along with uber-guitarist Neal Schon from Journey and drummer Deen Castronovo –resulted in the John Waite fronted supergroup, Bad English. And in 1989, the group's ballad, “When I See You Smile,” – penned by Grammy-winning songwriter, Diane Warren – went to Number 1 on Billboard's Hot 100 and was certified Gold. The album reached Top Five and sold more than two million units in the U.S. alone. Bad English released two albums before breaking up in 1992. Since returning to the recording studio and concert trek as a solo artist in 1995, John has produced a string of solid, existentially eccentric, courageously eclectic and blisteringly electric rock n' roll records, including 1995's Temple Bar, 1997's When You Were Mine, 2001's Figure in a Landscape, 2004's The Hard Way, 2006's Downtown: Journey of a Heart and 2010's In Real Time –an extraordinary live recording that featured burning in-concert realizations of the Baby's “Change”, “Back on My Feet Again” and “Head First”, not to mention Bad English's “Best of What I've Got” as well as a mind-blowing cover of Led Zeppelin's “Rock and Roll.” It was this lifelong passion for original Country that inspired John's sensational 2006 duet with bluegrass legend, Allison Krauss, where the two combined honeysweet vocal forces to remake his international hit, “Missing You.” On February 5, 2007, they performed the song on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. John teamed up with Matchbox 20 lead guitarist and songwriter, Kyle Cook in 2011 and their creative chemistry birthed the exhilarating Rough & Tumble, a long form exercise in raucous riffs and bloody truths highlighted by “Further the Sky,” “Shadows of Love” and the Classic Radio chart topping title track, a remarkable feat for any musician to reach number one airplay after three and a half decades in the music business trenches. All-Access Live hit the streets in 2012 and delivered on all stages of John's career–solo, The Babys and Bad English. Bearing a dynamic, stripped down sound which shows off his talented three-piece band, Waite demonstrates why he's considered one of the great rock and roll singers, imbuing the timeless material with saber toothed vitality and kinetic power. In 2014, Waite returned with Best. Navigating raucous rock, gut bucket blues and country, Waite's new greatest hits album is a thrilling snapshot representing the inspired artistic breadth of this legendary artist's entire career tallying more than 40 years on the rock and roll highway featuring re-recorded versions of signature classics, “Back on My Feet Again,” “Isn't It Time” and “Missing You,” hard-hitting live renditions of “Head First,” “Saturday Night” and “Change” to the more introspective fare of “Suicide Life,” “Downtown” and “Bluebird Café.” The Wooden Heart-Acoustic Anthology Volume 1 and Volume 2, released in 2015 and 2017, respectively, found Waite exploring yet another dimension to his artistry, his deep rooted appreciation of acoustic flavored music. “The Wooden Heart thing was something I'd wanted to attempt since I started making records. I wrote just about anything that was any good on the acoustic; I always had an acoustic with me wherever I went. It's actually more of a surprise that I didn't do something like this sooner.” Framed against stark and stripped down production showcasing only vocals and acoustic guitar, the Wooden Heart records highlighted the core essence of the songs themselves, threading newly penned original compositions, reworkings of some of Waite's favorite material from his solo career and The Babys alongside smartly chosen covers by the likes of Bob Dylan (“Girl From The North Country”), Donovan (“Catch The Wind”) and Richard Thompson, into an authentic and soul stirring musical statement. “The first release (Volume 1) was done on the spot, a day of recording and a day of mixing. It just happened! I didn't stop to think too much about anything but feel. It's what I do best. It was the most natural I'd felt in a recording studio. Two years later, I wanted to record Volume 2 but this time touch on the past. We were playing Wooden Heart shows across America to sold out crowds and I wanted the new release to reflect that with songs like “Isn't It Time” to In “God's Shadow” and “Downtown.” I included some of the original masters to make it what it became, an anthology. The Donovan song, “Catch The Wind” was recorded in a converted cowshed in deep winter in Wales five years ago; Hawkwind's bass player turned it into Foal Studios. The studio was miles from anywhere at the end of a lane so that's another song I always wanted to try. The Wooden Heart-Acoustic Anthology will continue. There's endless possibilities to it now the ice is broken.” With more live shows and new music in the offing, John Waite continues to forge his own singularly personal path, celebrating the present and engaged by the promise of the future. The story is far from over for the Lancaster, England-born rock star/balladeer/storyteller who was inspired onto his musical path by blues, soul and country along with a deep connection to the Celtic folk music of his homeland.

President Biden was at the United Nations climate summit (COP26) in Glasgow today, announcing that more than 90 countries will try to cut methane emissions by at least 30% by the end of the decade. “This is low-hanging fruit in the emissions battle. … It's a very clear way to reduce future warming, just looking at methane,” says Paasha Mahdavi, UC Santa Barbara professor who studies energy and environmental politics.  KCRW looks at how human industrial activities produce methane, and how we can change behaviors to reduce those emissions.  Also, when it comes to the airline industry, the number of people traveling is nearly back to pre-pandemic levels, but fewer flights are happening, and fewer pilots and flight attendants are working. That means higher prices, crowded planes, and more angry passengers, including those who don't want to wear masks.  “Good Timing with Jo Firestone,” a documentary streaming on Peacock, looks at how a former writer for “The Tonight Show” started teaching a free online comedy class for seniors ages 66-88 when the COVID-19 pandemic hit. 

Countless musicians of far lesser accomplishment have probably made similar statements regarding their own personal creative process, but when the confession comes from John Waite – whose been successfully writing, recording and performing some of the most listenable, enduring and appreciated popular music for more than 35 years – one cannot help but both recognize and marvel at the shimmering legacy of this British born rock star. The ride began when Waite was tapped as bassist and lead vocalist for the Babys who rocketed to Top 20 chart positions with a pair of infections hits, “Isn't it Time” from the band's sophomore LP, Broken Heart in 1977 and the monster ballad, “Every Time I Think of You” off 1978's Head First. But it was the album's rhythmically aggressive and seductive title track where fans got their first glimpse of the authentic John Waite, a no-holds-barred rock n' roll performer devoted heart and soul to live performance and making sure every fan in the audience left the concert hall just as elated and exhausted as the band they'd paid to see. After John Lennon's assassination, December 9, 1980, a bizarre thing happened during one of those furious Baby's performances when John was pulled from the stage by an overzealous fan during an encore. The freak event seriously injured his knee and the group disbanded shortly thereafter. From the ashes of the Baby's, however, rose an abundant and prodigious solo career, ignited by the well-received release, Ignition, that featured the single, “Change,” which rode the AOR charts for weeks in 1982, the year a new cable channel that would alter the course of popular media culture called MTV launched. At the forefront of its early play list was the video for the Holly Knight-penned track that in 1985, was included on the platinum-selling Vision Quest soundtrack.

Full show notes at www.LearningLeader.com Twitter/IG: @RyanHawk12    https://twitter.com/RyanHawk12 In 2005, Rebecca Minkoff designed her first handbag, which she dubbed the “Morning After Bag. This iconic bag ignited Rebecca's career as a handbag designer and inspired the brands' expansion into a lifestyle brand in the years to come. Actress Jenna Elfman wore her "I Heart New York" shirt on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Today, Rebecca Minkoff is a global brand with a wide range of apparel, handbags, footwear, jewelry, timepieces, eyewear, and fragrance. When Rebecca was 8 years old, she wanted her mom to buy her a dress. Her mom said, "no, but I'll teach you to sew." From that point, Rebecca was fascinated with the idea of buying things for herself. Rebecca doesn't love the word "mentor." She was forced to learn by doing. She moved at age 18. Became an intern and then a designer. Eventually, she started her own business. When Jenna Elfman wore her I heart NYC shirt on Jay Leno's show, it got her foot in the door. "When Jenna asked if I could make her a handbag, I lied and said I could do it." "I think everyone should get cozy with failure." Self Care: “Work can be self-care, too." She's particularly resistant to the notion that self-care can solve burnout — the feeling of acute exhaustion that has gained more attention recently. “There is no scented candle in the world that will make that feeling go away.” Self-reflection cures burnout, she argues, not self-care. "You don't need to ask for permission. Don't seek permission. Just go for it." Rebecca learned from her mom to be genuinely herself. "I learned to be tough, resilient, and fight back from my mom." "Don't get scared to lead with strength." "Trying hard is not good enough. You must get results." Advice for future generations? "There are no shortcuts." "Failure is like a muscle. Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn." "Success is the ability to keep going." "The definition of happiness is overcoming barriers towards your goal."

Do you need more joy in your life? Have you ever felt that you're going through the motions during your day, and while nothing particularly awful is happening, not much good is going on either? I went through a stretch like this recently. During days like this, I realize I could use a little more joy in my life. It surprised me a few weeks ago when I found some of the joy I was lacking. Of all the unusual places to find it, I found it in the news. In the news? Keep listening and I'll explain the joy I found, because you can find it, too. Let me show you how. Joy in the news? Really? Where I live in the state of Wisconsin in the US, September 25, 2021 was declared Bob Uecker Day to celebrate the 50 years Uecker has been calling the play-by-play broadcast of the Milwaukee Brewers baseball games. 50 years at the same job. Who does that any more? The guy is 87 years old and still working! Uecker is wildly popular with baseball fans in our area. Even marginal fans will listen to his broadcasts because of his quick-witted, self-deprecating sense of humor. He's quite entertaining with the self-effacing funny stories of his playing days and observations about life. Near the end of February when we're all sick of the dreary winter we've been through in our part of the world, the first sign of spring is Bob Uecker broadcasting spring training baseball games from Arizona. He gives us hope that spring must be just around the corner. He's like the first crocus or daffodil pushing through the leftover snow of winter. Among baseball fans, the joy of our relationship with Bob Uecker is palpable. He is also deeply loved by the ballplayers he's been describing for the past 5 decades. So much so that last year in 2020 the players on the Milwaukee Brewers voted a full share of their playoff bonus checks to Uecker. They didn't have to do that. He didn't play at all; he only described the action of those who did. And Uecker in turn donated his share to charity. What a sweet and tender gesture on the part of the team. It's a commentary about the joy of their relationship with him. Who is this man that evokes such an honor? This all raises the question, what is it about an 87-year-old man that endears him to people? How did the joy of relationships he has with so many people come to be? With his many fans, I think it is his self-deprecating sense of humor. His persona is of a guy who wasn't any good at anything - but doesn't know it. It's what made him such a hit on the Tonight Show. Miller Beer commercials, and his role in the 1989 baseball movie, Major League. Uecker is a master of the unexpected. On the day he was honored for his 50 years as a broadcaster he was given the privilege of throwing out the ceremonial first pitch of that day's game, like so many have done before him in major league baseball stadiums all across the country. Most 87-year-old would go out about 10 to 15 feet from home plate and toss the ball underhanded to a catcher. Not Uecker. He had the pitching machine used in batting practice positioned on the pitching mound, and just fed a baseball into the machine which propelled it to the catcher behind home plate. The joy of relationships with people much younger In terms of his relationship with the ballplayers, it's important to note that the average age of the players on the Milwaukee Brewers is 28.8 years Uecker is 87. What is it that bridged this gap of 58 years to bring such joy to players and fans alike? For one thing, Uecker was a ballplayer, too for 6 years, 1962-67. He played for the Milwaukee & Atlanta Braves, St. Louis Cardinals, and Philadelphia Phillies. He knew the joys and challenges of being a professional baseball player. He could relate to them, both the stars on the team and those who struggled. As a player, Uecker was a pretty good defensive catcher, but only a career .200 hitter, which he joked about all the time. In 6 years he only hit 74 RBIs and 14 home runs in 6 years. Odly enough, one of those homers was off hall of fame pitcher, Sandy Koufax. He often joked that the homer he hit almost cost Koufax his place in Cooperstown. The joy of honoring others in our relationships As much as I enjoyed seeing Bob Uecker honored for his 50 years of broadcasting for one baseball team, I found even more joy in another part of this relationship story. It comes from what the star player of the Brewers did. 29-year-old outfielder, Christian Yelich collected money from his teammates to pay Nike to manufacture one pair of specialty shoes for Uecker that displayed the phrase, “One of Us” on the heel of the shoe. Think about this for a moment, and let it sink in. One of us. Imagine what Bob Uecker must have felt to have this group of ballplayers, 58 years younger than himself, give him a gift expressing this sentiment. One of us. One of us Who of us wouldn't long to have people tell us they considered us one of them. That we belonged, that we're together as part of a larger whole. That we're wanted and appreciated by others. Christian Yelich makes $23.8 million dollars a year as a professional baseball player and he organized getting this gift to honor Bob Uecker. Yelich also had a pair of baseball spikes made for himself that look like the Nike shoes given to Uecker. All of this reminded me of the joy of relationships, and how we need to nurture them. So what does all this mean for YOU? How can you use what you've heard today to experience the joy of relationships in your life? I suggest following the ORA principle we've been talking about for some time. Observe Observe. Look around. Be curious about the world around us. Take our eyes off ourselves. There are good things happening all over the place if we take the time to look and notice the joy in relationships we come across in our daily lives. There's something within most of us that wants to be connected. We're made for relationships. Look for these connections. Reflect Reflect. Take time to think more deeply about what we observe. Many of us choose to stay too busy to reflect upon what we observe. Instead, consider the meaning behind what we see. Let it soak in. Are there themes in what we see and experience? I've been thinking a lot lately about the implications of the phrase on the back of Bob Uecker's new shoes, “One of us.” To be called this is something we have little or no control over. But it brings us to the next component of the ORA principle. Act Act. What we do have control over, is taking action ourselves, to extend ourselves to others. Get to know people younger or older than ourselves, as Bob Uecker and the baseball players have done. If people aren't honoring us, we can honor others ourselves. We can do what the apostle Paul calls us to do in Romans 12:10, Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other. Be for others what you would like them to be for you. This creates a measure of joy for ourselves, as Christian Yellich no doubt experienced with the Nikes he gave Bob Uecker. Here's the main point I hope you remember from today's episode One fulfilling way to enrich our lives is to observe and delight in the joy of relationships we see happening between different people all around us. I'd love to hear any thoughts you have about today's episode. Just send them to me in an email to john [at] caringforothers [dot] org. Or you can share your thoughts in the “Leave a Reply” box at the bottom of the show notes. Closing I hope your thinking was stimulated by today's show, to both reflect and to act. So that you will find the joy of relationships God intends for you. For you know by now, You Were Made for This. Well, that's all for today. I look forward to connecting with you again next week. Goodbye for now.

Interview: I am joined by comedian and author, John Heffron. Before winning Last Comic Standing John used to go to the Main Street Comedy Showcase in Ann Arbor Michigan where a waitress named Lucy Liu (yes, that Lucy Liu) encouraged John to sign up for a comedy open-mic night. John signed up and the rest is history. John and I discuss the early years of his career while attending Eastern Michigan University, being heckled at the Spaghetti Bender by my pal Jeff Katz, John's rise to comedy fame which included two Comedy Central specials and visits to The Tonight Show, competing and winning season 2 of Last Comic Standing, hidden comedic gem Leo Dufour, John's successful podcast with Jon Reep, John's book 'The Holding Game', doing comedy at bowling alleys, and so much more!  Our Guest, John Heffron http://www.johnheffron.com https://www.instagram.com/comedianjohnheffron/ https://twitter.com/JohnHeffron https://www.youtube.com/user/ComedianJohnHeffron/videos https://www.facebook.com/JohnHeffron  Tour dates: http://www.johnheffron.com/tour-dates-2/  Listen to John on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/2eqVilwOnHJiiHcnoT6RXZ?si=XfByN7Z9SPmqZY3hVD4u2Q&nd=1  John's podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/heffron-and-reep-show/id570322292  John's book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B086M913V7  Thanks to Jeff Katz!

Welcome to October 23, 2021 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate a confusing dessert and a talk show legend.  You may be confused when you order Boston Cream Pie and end up with a piece of cake. Hardly anyone is disappointed, however, by the buttery layers of sponge cake, paired with pastry cream and a shiny coat of chocolate. At the time the dessert was created, cakes and pies were baked in the same pans. Thus, their names became interchangeable. This cake was the invention of a French pastry chef at the Parker House Hotel in Boston in the late 1800s. What landed it on the map was the accessibility of a new ingredient: baking chocolate. Just about anything topped with melted chocolate was bound to be a hit! It became the official dessert of Massachusetts in 1996. On National Boston Cream Pie Day, celebrate the sweet dilemma of the dessert with an identity crisis. Today there are many choices for watching TV late into the night. But for decades, the only show on air after the late news was The Tonight Show. It was so popular that a standup comedian's appearance on the show could make or break their career. If host Johnny Carson asked a comedian to sit on the couch to talk… Well, that was being anointed for greatness. Some of the comics who were chosen include Jerry Seinfeld, Ellen Degeneres, and Eddie Murphy. So it's safe to say that Mr. Carson knew what he was doing. On National TV Talk Show Host Day we celebrate an entertainer and a comedy kingmaker. I'm Anna Devere and I'm Marlo Anderson. Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day.

Bryan shares his terrible travels to and from Memphis by asking the question: What is appropriate airplane behavior? Who owns the arm rest? Should you take off shoes during long distance flights?
