The story of Childhelp is so astounding, it should be made into a movie. It's the true tale of two young actresses - Sara O'Meara and Yvonne Fed­der­son – who played the roles of the girlfriends on the tele­vi­sion show “The Ad­ven­tures of Ozzie and Har­riet.” It began on a USO Tour in 1959 when the two young women were in Japan, and came across 11 street children in a typhoon. They dedicated themselves to finding the children find a safe place to live, not knowing that protecting kids was to become their life calling. From that, they formed what is now the nation's largest and oldest nonprofit organization meeting the physical, emotional, educational and spiritual needs of abused, neglected and at-risk children. Childhelp has directly impacted the lives of more than 12 million children in the U.S. Michael Medoro is now the impassioned chief of staff of this organization, working with issues from prevention to foster care programs, family advocacy centers, residential villages, legislation, and a national child abuse hotline. And that movie about Childhelp and its beginnings? It has been indeed been made – “For the Love of a Child,” available on many streaming services.

Kathleen opens with an introduction to her new Dolly Parton cardboard standup, excited that her Stevie Nicks standup will now have company in the Pub. She toasts her new guest with a Tito’s Vodka pickle shot and a Busch Latte, explaining how the popular Anheuser Busch beer originally gained its new nickname.Kathleen updates us on her Episode 2 expose regarding Jerry Falwell Jr.’s scandalous yacht photo, providing commentary on Jr.’s follow up radio interview that caused him to be removed from the board of Liberty University.Kathleen shares that she’s had some quarantine summer fun discovering and then following Annie Lennox’s Instagram account.Uncharacteristic Controversy from Kathleen’s Idols: In an uncharacteristic move, 2 of Kathleen’s favorite singers have come out speaking against the government’s handling of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Stevie Nicks spoke with Rolling Stone, putting out an urgent call for people to wear masks in an effort to help slow the spread of the disease and warning that if she contracts COVID-19 she will most likely never sing again. Kathleen then gives a shoutout to Anita Baker for being an amazing singer and general badass in life. The conversation turns to Dolly Parton, who was emboldened in an interview with Billboard Magazine relating to the “Black Lives Matter” movement stating that “of course Black lives matter,” which was a move that could shock the generally conservative world of Country Music. Dolly also discusses her 2018 decision to remove the word “Dixie” from her “Dolly Parton’s Dixieland Stampede” in an effort to be more sensitive to patrons who are not supportive of the ideology of the Confederate South. Kathleen’s Trip to Dolly’s Hometown: Kathleen describes her girl’s weekend in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee to celebrate the release of her Netflix Special “Bothering Jesus.” Her group attends the Dixieland Stampede, and Kathleen discusses how she and her friends had to choose between the “North” or the “South” side of the arena, and how strange it is to be served an entire 3-course meal that requires no utensils in an area that smells like horse manure. Kathleen and her friends then attend Dolly’s concert the following night to benefit her Imagination Library, which is nothing that they anticipated. Kathleen tells listeners to download Dolly’s “Those Were The Days” album for something fun to listen to.Controversy In Sports Team Names: Kathleen discusses her support for the Washington Redskins officially changing their name, and then moves into the history of other organizations including professional teams and schools that have changed their team names to be more racially sensitive: Stanford University transitioning from the Indians to the Cardinals, Pekin Illinois high school were known as the “Pekin Chinks” as covered by the Baltimore Sun in a 1994 article. The school used “Mr. Banboo” as their mascot, and it wasn’t until the mid-1970’s that the name was transitioned to the “Dragons” amidst great student protest. Kathleen then discusses additional racially insensitive team names throughout American history, such as the minor league baseball Atlanta Crackers, the Negro Southern League’s Atlanta Black Crackers, in 2010 Akron Ohio’s East High transitioned from the Arabs to the Orientals, and are now more appropriately known as the Dragons. Kathleen continues to review more unbelievable team references, including the 2002 University of Northern Colorado “Fighting Whities,” and the Wahpeton, North Dakota’s “Wahpeton Wops.” Save The Post Office (USPS): Kathleen discusses her love for the Post Office, included in her bit “The Post Office,” and how amazing both the service and her mail carrier Ben are to work with. She talks about the importance of keeping the Post Office, and reviews their sponsorship of Lance Armstrong’s cycling team and the fallout as documented in ESPN’s 30 for 30 series “Lance.” Kathleen discusses her USO Tour that included Lance Armstrong and her interaction with him.What to Watch This Week: Kathleen has been streaming many ESPN “30 for 30” episodes, including Bruce Lee’s “Be Water.” She also recommends watching Dan Rather’s “The Big Interview” on AXS tv.Mystery of the Week: Kathleen discusses the history of the Jersey Devil.

Making the conscious act of choosing positivism over negativity in our daily lives helps our subconscious achieve anything we set our minds to.Our goals are not reached by one big future success, but through a buildup of small present successes that help us achieve our dreams. It is a process that takes time but that has no space for negativity within it. It requires vibrance and motion directed to our present actions in order to help us move forward to the next chapter in our lives.Anyone can achieve amazing things with faith, focus, and dedication.

He is a man of many talents who knows how to engage individuals and unite teams within, and sometimes outside of the corporate world. He toured as a comedian on six USO Tours around Iraq and Afghanistan and learned through that experience that it was his calling to help others reach their potentials. John’s motivational talks inspire his audiences to take immediate action through the use of humor, audience engagement and interaction, and physical demonstrations. Having studied the neuroscience of performance, John’s talks directly influence individuals into achieving success in every sphere of their lives.Listen to Episode 47 of Rejuvenaging, to learn more about how you can consciously bring more positivity into your life, and achieve anything that you set your mind to.Some questions I ask: How did you become the person you are today?

Zucker decided to settle back down in Los Angeles and began her studies as an actress at Pierce College. It was there that she first acquired her love for theater. She was involved in several workshops that included performances in Beth Henley’s "Crimes of the Heart" and Neil Simon’s "Last of the Red Hot Lovers." She continued her studies at the highly reputable Howard Fine Studios and recently finished a two-year program of scene study improv with Stephen Book. Zucker got her first role in a student film at AFI (American Film Institute), and two months after shooting, auditioned for the role of Nicole Walker on the long running soap “Days of our Lives.” Four months later, Zucker became the newest member of the cast and won the Soap Opera Digest Award in 2004 for Outstanding Villainess. In recent months, Zucker has become ambassador for Habitat for Humanity in the San Fernando Valley. She will soon be traveling to Philadelphia and Detroit, among other cities, where she will be leading their charity builds. She has also participated in numerous USO Tours, including visiting bases in Southern California and Guantanamo Bay. The non-profit organization Success for Kids (www.sfk.org) is also close to her heart and she has spent time mentoring children in a structural development program.

This edition features stories on Marines in the Helmand province pushing out the Taliban, NATO forces adapting to inventive attacks from their enemies, one unit of Marines ending their tour in Afghanistan, celebrities entertaining the troops as part of the USO tour, and a husband and wife who both serve as Apache helicopter pilots. Presented in anamorphic 16:9 format.
