Podcasts about turning this car around

They say you can never go home. They lie. Let’s turn this car around.

Dave and Ethan interview podcast host, author, & Weird Al super-fan Lex Friedman about his career, fandom, and working with Weird Al on The Ridiculously Self-Indulgent, Ill-Advised Vanity Tour.

Dr. Don - not risky

Lex Friedman's journey into the world of comedy podcasting was not traditional.  He talks with Will about growing up in an observant Jewish household in Pennsylvania, his love of Weird Al, His dream of writing for SNL, sending postcards of jokes to Jay Leno, his time with the Groundlings in LA, his early exposure to tech podcasts, and developing ad selling skills on his own leading to his current position as Chief Business Development Officer at Stitcher and Host of Earwolf's The Wolf Den.   Lex's Podcasts The Wolf Den https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/earwolf/wolf-den   Turning This Car Around https://turningthiscararound.com/   The Rebound http://reboundcast.com/   Lex on Twitter:@lexfri   Will on Twitter: @comicwillcarey

No Armstrong this week but Lex and Moltz talk about snow, skiing and air travel. Moltz blew his buffer and couldn't remember the name of Whistler. Despite Moltz's belief that they're falling out of the sky left and right, air travel was extraordinarily safe in 2017. Support for this episode comes from Health IQ.

Jon and Moltz have enjoyed a little move called Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Moltz recommends the holiday song Fairytale of New York even though it has a slur in it. Lex is partial to Wonderful Christmastime. One of Jon's favorites is Darlene Love's version of Christmas (Baby Please Come). Liam makes a plea for a podcast explaining Christian holidays. The Santa Clause trilogy (yes, it's apparently a trilogy) is actually pretty dark. Someone is going to be enjoying the Sphero R2-D2 this Christmas we're just not sure if it's Hank or his father. Jon is a fan of Emo Kyle Ren on Twitter, Lex not so much. Moltz stays out of it. Support for this episode comes from Health IQ.

Jon makes a reference to the seminal movie Conan the Barbarian. Secret Hitler could be a good game for your kids. Or, perhaps, the great taste of Prongles if you can find some. Lex's daughter is reading some Judy Blume books. Jon's kids wanted to watch Annie but couldn't. Lex recommends Wonder if you want to bawl your eyes out. The Logan doll does not come with retractable claws. Moltz never finished his story about watching Nurse Betty on a plane but his point was there's a grizzly murder in it and he was afraid others on the flight wouldn't want to accidentally see that.

Moltz is sadly not on this episode. Jon saw Thor and says kids 8 and will love it. There is some hilarious talk about Thor's relationship to his hammer, Mjölnir. The younger kids will not get the reference, but their parents will. Lex voted. His wife and children supported his right to vote. Lex and Jon talk a bit about iPhone X's camera and Lex shares a scary selfie. Lex's resemblance to Jeff Goldblum is discussed. Our thanks also to Sleep Number, the best sleep of your life.

Sending good vibes to Florida. Stay safe during the coming storm. In Moltz's neck of the woods, it's fire that's the problem. Probably a good time to learn how to plan for a disaster. Jon saw Dunkirk and The Big Sick and liked both. Moltz recommends The Museum of Flight if you're in the Seattle area.

Lex is away so Moltz and Jon commiserate over the U.S. election results. One good note, we elected our first Somali-American legislator. And, to ease the pain, Moltz bought himself a new MacBook Pro.

This week we talk tech and Lex tells us about his arcade game machine. You may remember Super Pac-Man as the confusing and hard-to-play Pac-Man. Sorry, Windows and Linux users, we spend a bunch of time on macOS Sierra. Lex's Instagram account includes some great shots taken with his iPhone 7 Plus in portrait mode.

Jon heard the most recent episode of The Rebound and needs to talk some Apple stuff. And kids. The jet black iPhone 7 probably scuffs but is apparently the grippiest of the iPhones.

This week, it's dads and directions. Jon uses Apple Maps, Google Maps and Waze, just to be on the safe side. Lex's family paid another visit to Diggerland.

Lex loved this year's Spelling Bee. Sleep++ is an Apple Watch app Jon uses for sleep tracking. Are you the last person on the Earth to hear about Chewbacca mom? What about the Cincinnati gorilla?

Jon's last name is Armstrong if you hadn't heard. Lex still likes to play Excitebike. Moltz wants to get the Midway Arcade figure for Lego Dimensions. I mean his kid does. His kid. Super Mario Maker is a pretty cool game, too. Moltz fondly remembers making levels for Marathon. His favorite game of all time, though, is Myth. A game the kids love is Track Mania Turbo. Shufflepuck Cantina is an iOS game based on the classic game Shufflepuck Café. In graduate school (yes, really), Moltz played many hours of Strategic Conquest.

While Susie Ochs is off on assignment in the fens around Boston, regular host Glenn Fleishman is joined by frequent Macworld contributor John Moltz, who also writes at his Web site, Very Nice Web Site, and co-hosts The Rebound tech podcast and [Turning This Car Around dadcast. Glenn and John talk about the last week's reception to Apple's earnings, walk through Tim Cook's appearance on Jim Cramer's show, and explain that the company is doomed. Doomed, we tells ya! Or, more accurately, how Apple is navigating the aftermath of one great year while growth tapers and the Chinese economy shudders. John has an iPhone SE and he loves it. Courts can order you to unlock your phone with your fingerprint, so perhaps you need to re-consider Touch ID. And Dish Networks will come to your house and fix your iPhone—you might even want this!

Jon mentions the movie Tapeheads. Lex's kids are getting into Minecraft, which Moltz wrote part of a book about. Lex is considering getting a MAME cabinet for his basement. People have some thoughts on how to make scrambled eggs appropriately. Moltz's college roommate was on Malcolm in the Middle. In the post show, Moltz and Jon geek out about Captain America: Civil War clips. Our thanks to Universal Yums for sponsoring this episode.

Lex's presence prevents Jon and Moltz from geeking out over the Doctor Strange trailer. Moltz talks about his vacation in Long Beach, WA. Tampopo is the best movie about ramen.

You all know that Airborne is B.S., right? Firewatch is a great game. Lost Highway is a good movie. Neither of these are probably for the kids. But Inside Out is. There's a new trailer for Captain America: Civil War. Jon's favorite non-Pixar animated film is Boxtrolls. Of course, we all like Airplane! and The Naked Gun, but probably not for the kids.

Lex is enjoying him some Slimfast and they're not even a sponsor. Jon and Moltz are more into Bulleit. We wonder about the safety of kids drinking caffeine but the big problems seem to be soda and energy drinks, not necessarily coffee or tea. Adele's carpool karaoke is pretty good. Ladies and gentlemen, the poop stuck in my butt song. And, to follow that up, here's Emily Mandelbaum singing Let Me Poop to the tune of Let It Go. Camelback Resort has some serious water slides.

Moltz quotes the movie Top Secret. Some of our kids are going through changes. Jon's daughters plays Tapple and Telestrations. Moltz's family is currently playing Ticket To Ride.

No Lex this week, he's still on vacation. Jon's daughters are fans of Little Big Planet. Moltz's son is hoping to get Lego Dimensions this year. Moltz will, sadly, not be playing Star Wars Battlefront on a shiny new Playstation 4 this year. Moltz reminisces about March of the Wooden Soldiers which he feels is what a joke in this Simpsons episode is based on. There's yet another trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Carrie Fisher did a terrific interview on Good Morning America. This brings us to an Ewok-themed t-shirt.

Lex and Jon are fans of Rocksmith, which is not an advertiser. Harrison Ford surprised some fans on Skype, unfortunately none of them were us. Hey, who likes purity balls? There's nothing weird about them. When talking to your kids about sex, you can go Focus on the Family or Planned Parenthood. At what age should you talk to your kids about The Snuggie Sutra?

Moltz is away this week and we invite listeners to send some good energy and thoughts his way. Everybody should be fine. Unless they are not. The correct pronunciation of pedagogy. TL;DR: the long and short o sound are acceptable. Lex and Jon have a conversation about Math homework and the Common Core, both of which are the bane of parents throughout the known universe. Jon references this article on Medium about how a student showed the correct answer, but an incorrect methodology. Lex is having doubts about his sordid past, namely The Snuggie Sutra, posted here in a tacky, sad way. We aren't above sad and tacky. Lex and Jon talk about piano lessons, benefits of staying with an instrument through high school. Horrible dad jokes are exchanged. Shopping ensues. Our thanks to Little Passports.

For reference, here's Liam as a restricted motion pumpkin. Jon is not a fan of Five Nights At Freddy's. Children, however, seem to like it. Kids also like Disney's Descendants. Lex's Olaf pumpkin is a little messed up. The Minion is a little better. Lex is a fan of the Inside-Out Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. Not everyone should look at Moltz's Halloween mustache.

Lex is absent on this very special episode of Turning This Car Around where Moltz and Armstrong let The Force in by talking about the trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Jon starts off by talking about Magnolia. Lex talks about Neil Flynn and West Wing. Moltz talks about The Martian. Jon's vote for best 3D movie goes to The Edge of Tomorrow.

Moltz's dad claims to have been one of the first people to drive on The New Jersey Turnpike. Lex talks about Randy Pausch's last lecture. Lex not actually so fondly remembers Guess Who.

This week we kick it off by trying to figure out if our kids have any idea what it is we do. We also catch up on the school year to date. We also talk about homework. And we don't really have any links for this. Our thanks this week to Mack Weldon.

Jonathan Mann and Lex did a duet. One of Jon's old places had vermiculite in it. Moltz's area has toxic soil!

Here's the reading for the day: Most Parenting Advice Is Worthless, So Here's Some Parenting Advice." Here's a good book on minimalist parenting called "Minimalist Parenting". So, take it easy and learn to play craps with your kid. Jon recently enjoyed some quality time with his daughter playing the Lego Movie game. The parents in this YouTube video are not spending quality time with their daughters. It's like Scared Straight but much more horrible. Lex's daughter is a fan of the Hopscotch app. Jon reminisces about Parenthood and both he and Lex say "NO!" to Bratz. Back to the Future has a surprising amount of swearing and sexual assault.

Hey, kids, who wants drugs?! Lex has apparently seen White Men Can't Jump which is weird. Lex took his kids to Diggerland and they did not do drugs there. Jon and Lex recommend Super High Me. Probably not for the kids, though. Set a good example for your kids by eating broccoli in front of them. But not cauliflower. Our thanks this week to James Patterson.

Moltz is recovering from his first night with the wife and son away so please be respectful and listen to this episode quietly. We spend a bit of time discussing whether or not college is worth it. Here is a link to a piece that discusses the same thing. Our advertiser sprays you in the face with a firehose of great magazine and one of them is an issue of Entrepreneur featuring Turning This Car Around's very own Alexander Freedmund. Lex discusses the intricate world of cruise ship liquor packages. Would you let your child eat the KFChizza? Our thanks to Next Issue for sponsoring this episode.

Dan is away so Lex and Moltz draft fellow Turning This Car Around (http://turningthiscararound.com) co-host Jon Armstrong to guest co-host. And guess what we start off with. Guess. Go on. Guess. Hey, you were right! Apple Watch pre-ordering. They went pretty fast (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/04/10/apple-watch-sold-out-launch-day/). Did people order a million of them? Probably. And more. But this survey is not to be taken seriously (http://daringfireball.net/linked/2015/04/13/slice-intelligence-apple-watch-orders). Jon actually went to the store to check the Watch out (http://www.imore.com/apple-watch-retail-experience). Lex has his new haptic MacBook and is loving the feedback (https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/MacBook+Pro+13-Inch+Retina+Display+Early+2015+Teardown/38300). New emoji are here and Lex is furious (http://www.macworld.com/article/2907542/pump-up-your-messages-with-hundreds-of-new-emoji-in-ios-83-out-now.html). iOS 8.4 has been released to developers and it includes a new Music app that Jon is disappointed with (http://9to5mac.com/2015/04/13/hands-on-ios-music-app/). In particular, he wants to hate on some of the images here: http://9to5mac.com/2015/04/13/apple-launches-ios-8-4-beta-with-revamped-music-service/. None of us is going to WWDC, which was announced this week (https://developer.apple.com/wwdc/).
