Podcasts about when jimmy

The guys talk about anything and everything as it pertains to church: the primacy of Sunday morning and the preaching of Christ, pastoral care, music, church programs...you name it, it might be in there. Giveaway: Faith vs Faithfulness https://youtu.be/x3CIkrVkCq0 Semper Reformanda Transcripts Jon Moffitt: It's good to be with you. Hopefully you enjoyed that podcast. It was something a little bit different—just trying to help people think through. Not only do we want you to think through Christ and pietism, but we also want you to rethink church. In the end, if Theocast does not lead you to fully rest in Christ, and I honestly do not believe that biblically, you can fully do that without being in a local church and cared for by your pastors. You are always going to find that frustration. I put a video out there the other day that overcoming sin is not the great commission. The conclusion that I made was to overcome sin, or I would say to deal with it consistently, you don't ever overcome sin—let's just be frank as we are saints and sinners—that the local body has been commissioned to care for, administrate, and encourage you to continue to fight your sin. This is not done by you being at home, using accountability means like journaling or whatever else you want to put on there. That's a whole nother conversation for another day. Gentlemen, I'm going to start this conversation off by poking holes in modern Christian evangelical churches because of one reason. I have so many people in my church that have been exhausted, burnt out, beat up, beat down—use any other kind of a synonym you want to use—by the modern evangelical church. There's a thing called church hopping. I also think there's a thing called church escaping, where people barely escape with their spiritual health because they are, I think, being spiritually abused. COVID created an opportunity for a lot of churches, and I have heard from a lot of Reformed churches that their numbers have swollen because modern evangelicalism just beat up people from the pulpit when it related to COVID, when it related to social justice, when it related to racism. People are like, "Can someone just give me the Bible and give me Jesus?" And they walk into a Reformed church and go, "Oh, finally. Finally, someone's going to care for me, and I'm not going to be beat from the pulpit about what I do and don't do, who I vote for and who I don't vote for, and what I have done this last week. That, to me, is why I think Theocast should exist; it is to encourage those local pastors to encourage these congregants that real Christianity is not what we are seeing today—and I have no problem saying that. God uses the ordinary to advance His kingdom; not the extraordinary. I put this tweet out there. You look at who God chooses to advance the gospel: Peter—coward, Paul—serial killer, Mary—prostitute, Zacchaeus—criminal. He's grabbing people who, culturally speaking, are not acceptable and they are perfectly acceptable in the eyes of God because they are not there to boast about themselves or the program they have created, dare I say. I can tell you about Jesus, but I can't tell you about anything else. My life is a disaster, but I can tell you about Jesus who saved me. Zacchaeus robbed people his entire life, but he can tell you about Jesus who saved him. That's how church should sound but it's not; it's programmatic for pure moralism and it's just deistic moralism. Justin Perdue: It's fair to say that it's the codified life. Jimmy Buehler: There's a lot that could be said here. If you attend a big church and they say it's like your home here or they say, "Welcome home," or, "You belong here," and I look around and there are a thousand other people around me. I'm not home. This is nothing like my house. I don't want to get into the weeds of how big is too big in a church. I guess I would say if your pastor doesn't know your name, he's not your pastor. There's a lot that could be said there. But in a lot of churches today, the main goal is to do what? It's to on-ramp people so they can serve in various volunteer roles, to get them involved, and keep them on hand. Have you ever stopped in July or August and raised the flag and said, "Is there a reason why our church can never find volunteers for the school year?" Has anyone else ever asked that question? Why is it every July or every August, we're begging people to volunteer for this ministry. Why don't the same volunteers come back? I think that there's something off there that we're constantly having to man these stations. I used this illustration with my elders the other day where I said there's so much you can do in a church. I just know in my household—and Jon and Justin can testify—that there are ways that you can serve your wife, and there are ways that you can serve your wife that she just doesn't care about. If my wife came home and I had cleaned the garage and organized my tools, and I said, "Babe, look what I did for you." She'd be like, "Well, thanks. But I never asked for that." Right. Jon Moffitt: It's her birthday and you buy her a vacuum. Jimmy Buehler: Right. Honestly, in churches, we do these things and it's like, "Look, Jesus. I did this ministry. We had this initiative. We had this movement." And I think a lot of times Jesus would say, "Well, thanks. But I never asked you to do those things. I never asked you to clean the garage for me. That wasn't what I asked you to do." Honestly, what I constantly try to point our people to is loving and serving the people around you and trusting the work of Christ on your behalf. That's really ordinary, and perhaps a little boring, but frankly, in our culture today, we could use a lot of doses of that. Jon Moffitt: Yeah. Unfortunately, ordinary is the new extraordinary. Justin Perdue: Sure. It's not the norm. I'm listening to you guys talk and I don't feel especially fired up about this at the moment. So I may be able to just state it in plain terms, which is not always bad. I guess I just continually come back to the main thing that we do as a church, which is this thing we do on Sunday morning, and that's all about receiving Christ and what he's done for us. I am under the assumption and understanding that that will drive our love for each other even. To agree with both of you in that regard, we need the Sunday gathering because we forget the gospel all the time. We've been beaten to death. One of the reasons that I think I really struggled with the hamster wheel that is church, and this burden upon burden upon burden that's heaped upon people, is we've been beaten to death all week long and I don't need to come to church to be exhausted. I had a conversation with a guy yesterday. It was a good conversation. He's a newer attendee at the church. I don't need to really disclose a lot about his theological backgrounds. It's good and interesting. He has walked through the shift that we've all walked through, from a Calvinistic-biblicist background, where the language about churches is you're always showing up to church to serve. You're showing up to do stuff. Of course we want to show up in love and serve each other—we've been saying that—but I think it changes the game when you understand that you're showing up to church not to do something fundamentally; you're showing up to church to receive something that you need that only God can give you. I'm not talking about consumeristic nonsense here like showing up to church to consume, consume, consume—cause that's always demonized. I don't mean that. I mean show up to church because you realize that you're a wretch in need of righteousness that you don't have, and you need Christ, and you need forgiveness and absolution that are only found in him. That's what unifies you with all of these other people who showed up to church. That will absolutely stir affections for God and each other in a way that's all kind of fruitful. But when we confuse the main point of Sunday, and when we confuse the mission of the church, we've got no shot at getting that right and really seeing that happen. Jon Moffitt: I think there is a shift happening. I'm excited to be a part of it. I honestly am not interested in modern evangelicalism. I'm not interested in programmatic churches. I am not against children's ministry, youth ministries—I'm not against any of that. What I'm trying to get to is that when the main focus of the church becomes two things—cultural influence and growth—you have to then do things that are pragmatic, and your focus and intentions change. My encouragement to every congregation that's listening here is if you're not being cared for, and you're not being shepherded, and you're not being fed, then that's wrong. You need to evaluate what kind of system you're a part of. If you're a pastor and you feel like you're failing because your church isn't exploding but you faithfully preach God's Word, you're faithfully involved in your people's lives, and the people are growing further and deeper into Christ and they're caring for each other, then you are a successful pastor of a growing church. Praise God for you. Justin Perdue: Amen. I'm going to circle back really quickly to something I said earlier: that the only essential thing that we do at church is the Sunday morning gathering and everything else is a wisdom call. I think that's incredibly freeing. I don't know about you guys, but as a pastor, I've been a member of various churches of various sizes with various amounts of programs and things going on. I think it's very easy to assume, as a pastor or a congregant, based upon past experience, that there is some stuff that we just have to do in the church or we're not really doing church well, or there's a standard that's unspoken of that we've got to meet. Whether that's children's ministry or whether that's some kind of mercy ministry thing, or whether that's a community group structure, all of that could literally go away tomorrow and your church will still be fine if you were showing up together on Sunday to sit under the Word of Christ, come to the Table, and sing and pray. You are doing church. I feel that pressure. Even in our context, I sometimes wonder whether we are doing enough. And then I come to my senses and realize we're fine. But it's very easy to fall into that trap. I see it in our people because they have only experienced church one way, and they ask, "Don't we need to be doing this or that?" And it's hard to detox from that. Jimmy Buehler: It really is. It's a monumental shift. The new people that have come to our church, the people that have not been with us from the beginning, those are the things that they say. They say that there's a relational closeness there that they have not experienced before. I will say this: maybe this person exists and I just have not met them yet, but I don't think I've ever met somebody who says, "I want to try out your church because I don't have enough things to do with my schedule." Justin Perdue: Nobody ever says it that way. Jimmy Buehler: No. I don't ever want to impugn motives, but when people say, "I'm ready to plug in if you need me anywhere," I reply, "Well, I just need you to be here. You can stay late and put away the chairs cause they get heavy after a while." I remember, Justin, when we were first starting this church, some wisdom you gave me that has kind of stuck with me is that we never want to be married to a program that we have. If it stops "working" or it stops meeting people's needs, we just don't do it anymore. It can die and that's okay. That's not a sign of failure, it's just a sign of change. Yeah. We had a bunch of college students for a season and we're not going to continue college ministry because they're all away at college. Justin Perdue: Yeah. We're not going to force something that we don't need to do. Jimmy Buehler: Exactly. Justin Perdue: I agree. I think that you've got to be content as a pastor and as a church, as a congregant too, to see anything but that Sunday morning gathering live and die and rise again, depending on what season of life you're in as a church, and it's entirely fine. It sets us free to focus on the main things. Jon Moffitt: This is a whole other podcast, but I'm going to just drop the introduction here. When you start thinking about the impact of a local community, of a local church of five to 50 people to 250, for example, and then you have multiples of those in communities around the world, when culture crashes... We're losing battles on every level and we've been losing them since the fall of Adam. Adam failed the covenant of works and it has been a landslide. All you have to do is read Genesis 6 to see that God had a landslide proving it. But when everything else fails, if the churches are rightly administering its commission, then it will survive any cultural crash. It will because it has. God's will prevail and God builds His church upon ordinary means. I want to be a part of a mission that leads the way of going back to what God has called us to do, because I'm telling you, in 10 years, a lot of these churches that are emphasizing all of this stuff, they are going to die out and crash. Look at Rob Bell. Rob Bell's entire ministry just hit the tank for one reason: he became irrelevant. His whole mission and whole, what he's doing just became completely irrelevant. And this is what's going to happen. But God's word is never irrelevant. And God's people rightly obeying God's word will always be relevant. I think we need to take comfort in the fact that for 2000 years, it worked. We need not be enticed by what is popular or what is growing, because that doesn't necessarily mean it's right. Justin Perdue: One of the things we'll joke about at our church is that we could absolutely have a service if we blew a fuse and the power went out. There's nothing about our services that we need bells and whistles for. We can straight up do it because all we're doing is reading the Word, preaching the Word, and praying. We can sing acapella and it's totally cool. But I think the same is true of the church. If you need the culture and the kind of American, Western sort of trappings that so many churches are built on, if you need that to do church, I think it's a problem. If you couldn't do church with all of that stripped from you, which we may be headed that direction. We're standing in line with saints who have gone before us, who we're going to quickly understand what it means to be a counter-culture , as the church in this context. Can you do church as a counterculture and not do church as this attractional cool thing to go do on Sunday? I think that's a question for all of us to ask. Jimmy Buehler: You might be a consumer-driven Christian if you can't have church without lights and fog. Justin Perdue: Or even an amplifier. Jimmy Buehler: I have this conversation with my high school students all the time. They always want to come to me and say, "Oh, worship was so powerful." I replied, "No, it wasn't. It was loud." I do this thing with them and it drives them crazy: I can play guitar—and not to toot my own horn, but pretty well. All I have to do is the formula. I call it the formula. I turn off the lights in my classroom, then I play a drum app, and then I start playing guitar. And then I just start saying things like, "Some of you kids have been running from the Lord." And one girl says, "Oh, I just got goosebumps." See? It's that easy. Justin Perdue: Totally on the same lines. One of our elders plays lead guitar a lot on Sunday mornings. We were having a conversation during a music setup a couple of weeks ago. Me and two other people were over here talking and he's got his guitar out with his pad and all that stuff. We're just talking about some theological stuff, but he starts doing that very thing, playing straight up altar call music. He's just doing it while we're over there talking, and every one of us at some point stopped and looked over at him and laughed. We're just joking about how incredible the conversation was with that backdrop musically. It's true. Jon Moffitt: I think there's a lot of emotions in Christianity. Here's a great example of this. I had a man sit across from me visiting my church and what I told him was this: "Brother, I'm going to love you. I'm going to care for you. I'm going to help you find rest." And the man started weeping. And you know what was powerful for him? He felt loved for the first time in a long time. There are songs we sing that are musically okay, but when you start thinking about the words—"and the crimson blood that covers my sin"—that is my Jesus. I could sing that all day long and I want to go sing it to my congregants. Anyways, the point of it is I am not anti-emotion. Sometimes people react so far against the modern church, or even the charismatic movement where any kind of emotion within Christianity is wrong, and I'm telling you right now that Peter is probably the most crazy emotional person on the planet when he was a pastor. I can relate to that. In the fundamentalist Baptist churches I grew up in, there were master manipulators of people's emotions to draw them into decisions about themselves that have nothing to do with scriptural basis. Justin Perdue: And has nothing to do with Christ. Jon Moffitt: I hate that we even throw the word "worship" when it comes down to music. Music is a mechanism. Music is designed to do two things: unify voice and direct word. That's the point of it. And obviously it needs to be for the glory of God and beautiful. Justin Perdue: These things are not contradictory. We can seek to do things artfully and well, and it need not be about the emotion and the show. Both of those things can be true. Jon Moffitt: A podcast we are going to do soon is on music. When Jimmy comes back in a few weeks, we're going to talk about music in the church. All three pastors on here, we're not ignorant to music. All three of us at some point have been music directors. Justin Perdue: I still sing every Sunday into a microphone. Jon Moffitt: So these aren't guys who are like, "We hate music." By the way, the guy's musical preferences on this podcast are far beyond mine. They can run laps around me. Justin Perdue: Some people say, "I just don't know that church music is really my vibe." Homie, I'm with you. It's not what I play in the truck. I promise you. Jon Moffitt: We're going to run this down. We're running out of time. We all have things and places to go. Jimmy, thank you for taking time with us. Pray for Jimmy. The first few years of a church plant are like scraping sandpaper in your eyes every morning. How long can you endure it? That's how it feels. Justin Perdue: Jon, you're an encourager. Jon Moffitt: Sometimes someone acknowledging your pain is the most encouragement you can give them. Thank you for your support. We are excited about the future. We will see you next week.

It's Thursday and that means it's time for the REALEST TALK on the Internet, REAL TALK with your host Jimmy Moore! Today Jimmy welcomes Whitney Gray to talk about her journey with Multiple Sclerosis. “I decided to try to treat this with diet for 30 days and within two weeks the symptoms were so improved there was no question that I would continue. That was nearly twelve years ago.” Whitney Gray GET STARTED WITH THE KETO CHOW STARTER BUNDLE at JimmyLovesKetoChow.com In this interview, Jimmy speaks with his longtime friend Whitney Gray (@nutrisclerosis) who has successfully managed her Multiple Sclerosis through diet and lifestyle change. When Jimmy first met Whitney, it was about a decade ago when they were both a part of the Paleo community and over time Whitney realized she needed to tweak her diet to a more targeted approach implementing a mostly animal-based diet with fruit and shellfish. This was such an intriguing conversation that you're sure to enjoy. Whitney has successfully managed Multiple Sclerosis with the autoimmune protocol of the paleo diet. She started Nutrisclerosis out of her desire to have a place where people can find all the information they need to facilitate change in their own lives. This lifestyle change improved ALL her MS symptoms and caused her to go from a size 14 to a 4 in under six months. The best part of all this is that it works for all autoimmune issues, not just MS (which is only theorized to be an autoimmune issue).  http://www.nutrisclerosis.com/

When Jimmy and Brett started this podcast they made a short list of people they wanted to try and have as guests on the show. At the top of that list was this weeks guest, the hit king himself Pete Rose joins Advantage Connors on episode #28! Pete used to be an avid tennis player himself, and talks about the days when he used to play 5 days a week. Besides being mistaken for and compared to each other throughout their respective careers, Jimmy and Pete connect on many levels and actually do have a lot in common. This is the first time the two bowl cut all stars have had the chance to actually sit down and have a real conversation with one another. Both had a parent who helped teach them the game, both had that never quit mentality, and both were second to none when it came to discipline and work ethic. Oh yeah, and both guys liked the action of placing a bet once in a while! Tune in and listen to these two sports icons chat about the state of their sports today, and what they miss about playing in the good old days. And Pete calls out Brett for having a "trash mouth", but where exactly does he think he got it? All that plus much more on this week Advantage Connors!

Today’s episode of The Real Estate Sales Podcast is all about an old-school technique that drastically increases outreach efforts: circle prospecting. This strategy doesn’t follow the ABC method (always be closing), but it does a conversation with your prospect. And, in the modern market, these conversations lead to relationships, which lead to conversion.   What is circle prospecting? Circle prospecting is sharing new information with people who own homes about their neighborhood.  This information should be new data they aren’t aware of. The goal is to offer value to your prospects that they don’t realize they need. When Jimmy first started circle prospecting, he would circle potential houses to contact based on his recent listing or target house. Luckily, there are now tools that make this process more efficient.   How do you get the seller’s information? Check the property appraiser’s website or tax rolls for phone numbers, closing information, and more. There are also platforms like the Forewarn app, Cole Realty Resource, and Truthfinder to find the contact information you need. The takeaway? It’s a lot easier to get phone numbers than you might think.   Before you make the first call: Know the history of the neighborhood and the house you base you’re targeting around. Be aware of sold comparables, addresses, the price/square foot, and CDOM. Also be familiar with the neighborhood, like any houses available, market comparison, and the average price/ square foot.    Jimmy’s first-call script tips: Focus on building conversations and providing value for people down the line Let people in the neighborhood know when there’s a listing near them, and ask if they know anyone looking to buy a home. This helps you identify anyone looking to buy a house and plants a seed to contact you if they are looking to sell their own home. Ask the neighbors if their neighbors are interested in selling, but don’t ask about their own home. They’ll mention if they want to sell. Offer to give them information about their neighborhood and provide value to them.   After the call: develop your email list: The main point (besides relationship building) of these calls is to walk away with a list of email addresses for these people. Send emails to your list at least once a month. In these, provide relevant neighborhood information like when a house is bought or sold. Make sure you have a system set up to let them know the activity in their neighborhood. Give them an unsolicited video CMA every six months. If you want to know how to send the perfect unsolicited video, check out our previous episode.    Connect with Jimmy Burgess on LinkedIn and Facebook, as well as his YouTube channel.   If you like what you heard today, we’d love it if you’d share a rating or review and then subscribe to the podcast and tell others about it as well.

Sometimes, real estate agents overlook one of the best ways to help more people and find more listings. Tune in to this episode and learn more!  When Jimmy’s mother-in-law died, they were looking for a way to know the value of her property, but they didn’t know anyone in the neighborhood, and they couldn’t find any sales agent to help them.  In times such as these, the emotions are still high, and when you get an inherited property, you won’t know exactly what you want to do with it right away.  This is a critical time for real estate to add value to people. It’s a time when professionalism and help are a necessity.  The fundamentals when someone inherits a property Probate is the legal process following a homeowner’s death, and the property is transferred to the heirs or the people who are part of the estate.  Someone has to file for the probate to allow the debtors to claim things that they own.  In this day and age, the most significant asset is real estate.  In the probate process, individuals need to file for someone to be the executor of the estate or to be the person that will act as the administrator for the estate. The judge then comes in and names that person as the estate’s administrator.  The means that the administrator has the full right to sell or distribute the funds on behalf of the estate.  The administrator also has the opportunity to list the property for sale. This is where the administrator can add value to the estate.  Looking for probate properties Every single probate case goes through the local county court record system, which means it’s a public record.  In most areas, they don’t show you all the details, so you need to go to the courthouse and request the details on probate cases. You will see in the filings which properties already have administrators and which ones don’t. You can ask for all the details, including the name of the executor of the estate. You can also jump on your property appraiser’s website to start identifying the people that you can reach out to and begin to add value.  You can also try the US Probate Leads. You can buy the leads instead of searching for them. They have an ongoing monthly option as well.  Speaking with the executor Put yourself in that person’s shoes. It means that you need to be careful when speaking with the executor. Be sensitive while getting the information that you need.  You need to know the value of the property. Look into their desire: whether they want to sell to liquidate quickly and cash in the property, and you need to figure out if there are debts to be settled.  The first thing you can do is call the executor and introduce yourself and your reason for calling. Assure the executor of your purpose and how you are of help to him/her. Make sure that he/she understands that you’re offering help. Make yourself an expert and the go-to person of the executor.  In a typical situation, your goal is to add value over time. This is your drip campaign, and it includes emails, texts, videos. Your next approach is to send them an email with a valuation update. You can also follow-up via phone call.  Provide them with all the things that they might need, especially when they aren’t able to look for solutions or answers to their needs.  There’s a higher chance that the people you’ve helped and have added value to will come back to you, but even if they don’t, you will still do this because it’s the right thing to do.  “Take More Listings With This Overlooked Strategy (Probate Listings)” episode resources Connect with Jimmy Burgess on LinkedIn and Facebook, as well as his YouTube channel.   If you like what you heard today, we’d love it if you’d share a rating or review and then subscribe to the podcast and tell others about it as well.

Top producers provide energy and optimism that make people want to do better and be better. Jimmy Burgess has studied them to identify seven things they do on a daily basis that will help you in your business and in your personal life. Daily habits Choose a growth mentality. Top producers look for ways to grow mentally, physically, spiritually, and relationally. Because they are focused on growth, they often see opportunities that other agents don’t recognize. Tools like Google and YouTube give us the opportunity to learn anything we’re interested in. Listening to podcasts and books on Audible provides new concepts to help you grow. Check the hot sheet. Top producers send properties to potential buyers because they are always playing offense instead of defense. They watch for properties to come on the market and then find the people that are looking for those properties.  They send new properties, new listings, and price reductions. Create and modify systems. Top producers constantly refine their business to make it better.  If you are asked a question more than twice, create a system that will help you handle it more efficiently. This can include drip campaigns, texts, emails, checklists, or other systems that leverage time. Send unsolicited CMAs. Top-producing agents look for new ways to add value to clients. Send unsolicited CMA videos to people who have the opportunity to potentially sell within the next couple of years. When Jimmy did this in Q4 of 2018, it generated $11 million worth of listings and $9 million worth of sales.  Make outbound calls. If you’re waiting on business to come to you, you’re likely playing a losing game.  Check on past clients to see whether they still love the houses they bought. Contact existing clients to see whether anything has changed. Outbound calls provide another way to play offense.  Add to your database. Top producers constantly generate leads to ensure that they’re constantly growing.  These agents either buy leads or generate leads through mailers, open houses, and other methods.  They’re constantly adding people to their sales funnel by building relationships that help people know, like, and trust them.  Use a to-do list.

He grew up in a predominantly black neighbourhood, where he was often bullied. As a child he showed affinity toward comics and music, particularly rapping. He had a difficult childhood and he was never on good terms with his mother. He was, however, close to her half-brother, Ronnie. Marshall's education suffered as a result of constant troubles with his mom and he dropped-out of 'Lincoln High School,' when he was seventeen.   109.    Career: When Marshall was fourteen years old, he started rapping and attenditg contetst with his friend DeShaun Dupree Holton, who later became famous as rapper Proof. The two friends formed their own group called 'D12' or 'The Dirty Dozen,' in 1996. Also in 1996, Eminem (@16) brought out his first album titled 'Infinite.' The album was recorded under the banner of 'FBT Productions,' and included songs that spoke about the struggles he faced after the birth of his daughter, at a time when he was financially unstable. His financial condition had worsened and by 1997, he was forced to live in his mother's house with his family. During this time, to let go of the frustration building inside him, he created an anti-social alter-ego named 'Slim Shady.' He even recorded his first extended play by the same name in the same year.   110.    After he was fired from his job and evicted from his home, Eminem went to Los Angeles to compete in the 1997 Rap Olympics, an annual, nationwide battle rap competition. He placed second, and an Interscope Records intern in attendance called asked Eminem for a copy of the Slim Shady EP, which was then sent to company CEO Jimmy Iovine. Iovine played the tape for record producer Dr. Dre, who recalled sayingd, "In my entire career in the music industry, I have never found anything from a demo tape or a CD. When Jimmy played this, I said, 'Find him. Now.'" Although Dre's friends criticized him for hiring a white rapper, he was confident in his decision: "I don't give a fuck if you're purple; if you can kick it, I'm working with you."   111.    In February 1999, Dr. Dre helped Eminem release an album titled 'The Slim Shady LP,' which immediately catapulted him to fame. With hits like 'My Name Is,' '97 Bonnie and Clyde,' and 'Guilty Conscience,' it was one of the most successful albums of the year.   112.    Movie Scene: The Best Man   113.    Harper Stewart (Taye Diggs), a commitment-shy writer and the best man at the wedding of Lance (Morris Chestnut) and Mia (Monica Calhoun), is nervous-and with good reason. His steamy new novel hits bookstores soon, and when his friends finally read it he knows they will notice more than just a passing resemblance to the characters depicted in the book.   114.    Director: Malcolm D. Lee, Debut film [Undercover Brother (2002), Roll Bounce (2005), Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins (2008), Soul Men (2008), Scary Movie 5 (2013), The Best Man Holiday (2013), Girls Trip (2017), and Night School (2018)]   115.    Cast: Taye Diggs, Nia Long, Morris Chestnut, Harold Perrineau, Terance Howard, Sanaa Lathan, Monica Calhoun, Melissa De Sousa, Terrence Howard, Regina Hall [*Film Debut]   116.    'The Best Man': A Joyous Occasion [By Lonnae O'Neal Parker Washington Post Staff Writer, Oct 1999]   117.    This smart debut from filmmaker Malcolm D. Lee, cousin to the film's producer, Spike, centers around a group of old friends who reunite in New York for a wedding. Tapping into the Zeitgeist of young black professionals starving to see themselves on film, it hits all the right cultural touchstones: from BET to Stevie Wonder, Chubb Rock to bid whist. Although the film is produced by Spike Lee, don't expect racial politics. And while comparisons to another black wedding-themed movie starring Taye Diggs, "The Wood," are bound to come up, resist.   118.    James Berardinelli - Reelviews   119.    The Best Man is not what it initially seems to be. Despite starting out with all the earmarks of a fairly ordinary romantic comedy, the project develops into a surprisingly effective look at a man's quest for rebirth after events topple him from a pedestal of arrogance. And, while there are plenty of laughs to be had, The Best Man functions better as a light drama than a straight comedy, with several scenes packing a punch because they're played straight. The film is the directorial debut of Malcolm D. Lee (Spike's cousin), who may have gotten this chance because of family connections but shows enough promise to earn further opportunities on his own.   120.    The Best Man (1999) - 1½ Stars [Reviewed by Dustin Putman, October 1999]   121.    As with 1997's melodramatic, corny "Soul Food," and last summer's "The Wood," which also starred Diggs in a story set around a wedding(!), "The Best Man" aspires to be something more than it actually is. Kudos to Lee for trying his hand at a more knowledgeable picture that all audiences (not just African-Americans) might enjoy, but he also gets more than his share of debits for its severely flawed treatment. At over two hours in length, "The Best Man" thankfully never overstays its welcome and goes by fairly fast, but by the time the Electric Slide was carried out by everyone at the wedding reception over the end credits, I realized that the actors deserved far better. As is, the conclusion plays like an excuse for each of the cast members to give themselves a pat on the back, when they really didn't earn that pat to begin with.   122.    Denzel Washington, film debut in Carbon Copy (1981) and in 1982, Denzel made his first appearance in the medical drama St. Elsewhere as Dr. Philip Chandler.

But it wasn't until The Cosby Show became a ratings juggernaut in the mid '80s that networks finally saw the potential in investing heavily in sitcoms with black leads.   133.    And so the '90s became a decade in which more black sitcoms than ever made it onto TV   134.    Naturally, given the success of The Cosby Show, a lot of shows that followed featured families. But they didn't just simply copy the formula.   135.    The lives of younger people took center stage as well in the '90s. So, instead of being the token black friend within the larger context of a show, black teens, college students, 20-something professionals became the vehicle for funny and even poignant stories.   136.    The '90s turned hugely talented black comedians and actors into stars who remain household names to this day, and it goes to show the impact that being given a seat at the table and a voice on prime time television can accomplish.   137.    Here are 18 black '90s sitcoms that we love do this day for the impact they had on our lives then and now.   138.    'A Different World' (1987-1993): One of the show's major accomplishments was being among the first to tackle real issues like date rape, racism, and HIV, things that the Cosby Show had avoided. A Different World is the gem that created a bridge to the '90s black sitcom boom.   139.    'Family Matters' (1989-1997): The longest-running sitcom about a black family (it spanned nine seasons to The Cosby Show's eight), Family Matters was not only funny -- especially after introducing super-nerd Urkel -- but managed to balance big laughs with more serious moments. There were episodes that centered around civil rights history and police mistreatment of young black men, and a wide-ranging audience got to see them, thanks to the show's across-the-board popularity.   140.    'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' (1990-1996): Nestled between Will Smith's rapping days and his status as one of the world's most bankable A-list movie stars was The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, which made his a household name and produced one of the longest-running fan debates in TV history on which of the two actresses who played Aunt Viv was the best one.   141.    'Roc' (1991-1994): Before Charles S. Dutton went on to win three Emmys for his work on other shows, he starred in this underrated and brief series that was fairly typical sitcom until the second season, which aired each episode live. Roc was a treat because Dutton and several of the other cast members were trained stage actors.   142.    'Martin' (1992-1997): Martin Lawrence was all edge when he wasn't doing Martin. (One of his stand-up specials was slapped with an NC-17 rating, and he was banned from Saturday Night Live for delivering a hilariously raunchy monologue.) That makes it all the more interesting that on the show Martin, he played a lovably manic man-boy. We lost count of how many characters Martin played on the show (in disguise), each one of them hilarious in their own specific way.   143.    'Hangin' With Mr. Cooper' (1992-1997): This sitcom had a great cast, including comedian Raven-Symoné, Holly Robinson Peete, and Mark Curry.   144.    'Living Single' (1993-1998): The show marked the first time that we saw young black women portrayed as professionals and given well-rounded personalities, have healthy relationships, and pave the way for black female-centered shows - nlike Girlfriends and Insecure.   145.    'Sister, Sister' (1994-1999): There are so many reasons why we loved Sister,Sister, and one of them was that the show would occasionally break the fourth wall and talk directly to the audience, which made us feel part of the action. But the show also had layers that deepened its story: The girls had been the product of an interracial relationship between a black mom and a white dad who never had the chance to marry before being separated in tragic circumstances.   146.    'In The House' (1995-1999): It wasn't the world's best sitcom, but hey, LL Cool J has always been a snack.   147.    'The Parent 'Hood' (1995-1999): One of the four original Wednesday night shows that helped launched the WB (The Wayans Bros was another), what sets the show apart are the whimsical fantasy sequences that the dad dreams up to help him solve family issues in a creative and unexpected way.   148.    'The Wayans Bros.' (1995-1999): In Living Color, it's not, but this sitcom from younger Wayans siblings Shawn and Marlon is still simple fun that doesn't require too many brain cells -- and that can be a good thing.   149.    'Moesha' (1996-2001): Moesha centered around a black teenager diving into deeper explorations of all kinds of relationships and left cliffhangers in several story lines dangling when it was canceled.   150.    'The Jamie Foxx Show' (1996-2001): Fresh off the groundbreaking comedy sketch show In Living Color and before he becoming an movie star, Jamie Foxx starred as an aspiring actor who works at his relatives' hotel.   151.    'Kenan & Kel' (1996-2000): Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell were Nickelodeon's first black sitcom stars, having landed their own show when producers saw them joking around on the set of All That when they were series regulars.   152.    'The Steve Harvey Show' (1996-2002): A big highlight is the constant guest star roster that's a who's who of black TV stars and musicians -- like Snoop Dogg, Diddy, Kim Fields, and Ja’Net DuBois of the classic sitcom Good Times.   153.    'The Hughleys' (1998-2002): Two decades before Black-ish tackled a similar premise, The Hughleys featured a family that lives in a predominantly white neighborhood.   154.    'The Famous Jett Jackson' (1998-2001): This show had just 65 episodes but has a special place in our hearts as the first Disney Channel show to feature a black actor as the lead. The immensely talented and magnetic Lee Thompson Young starred as Jett Jackson, a kid who tries to live a normal life when he's not filming. Thompson tragically died at age 29, after struggling with bipolar disorder and depression, but the heartwarming show lives on.   155.    'The Parkers' (1999-2004): It's no surprise that one of the most down-to-earth black sitcoms from the '90s starred Mo'Nique as a single mom who dropped out of high school to raise her baby.   156.    Question: Most Liked Show of the 90’s?   157.    Vote: Best/most important/favorite pop culture item from 1999

Jimmy joined John on the Phone to discuss the band and Music , that he writes with James. www.kingcanyon.com.au ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Melbourne guitarist James Ryan and singer Jimmy Cupples formed King Canyon in March 2020, just as the world began to shut down. Ironically, the project would never has existed if not for the crazy events of this year. With minimal discussion or prompting, the pair trialled an online collaboration and King Canyon was born. You might say we're a Rock Band. We like to think of King Canyon as the soul of the 60's, blended with the Blues Rock invasion of the 70's. So how did James and Jimmy connect and what was the motivating force to create their new project King Canyon? – Ryan explains; “When the worldwide quarantine kicked in and the live scene came to sudden halt, I decided to use the time to finally pursue a band project I had wanted to do for so long”. James’ was on the lookout for a vocalist that would complete the sound he had in his head. Enter Jimmy Cupples; “When Jimmy’s name came up, I thought he could be perfect. We decided to collaborate on a new song idea to see what would happen. After a few emails and voice messages, the sparks began to fly and the track “Yellow Fever” was born, which became an immediate favourite. I guess this is what you call chemistry! James is a well-respected guitarist, who has toured with industry heavyweights Ross Wilson, Russell Morris, Kate Ceberano, Tina Arena and even Men At Work in their heyday. His guitar-centric YouTube channel "ilovenoise" has over 15k subscribers and more than 6 million views. Jimmy Cupples is well known for his incredible vocal prowess and effortless stage craft. He has been an active part of the Melbourne music scene most of his life, following in the footsteps of his cousin Peter, who was the voice behind the popular 70’s Australian band Stylus. One of his original songs “Sunset Hills” was featured in the Australian movie Rise “One of the things we are enjoying the most is how easy the process has been and how much fun we are having. We can embrace our influences and instinctively go with the sounds that we love without question." --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/2bacr90stonow/message

In this episode, Cody has a conversation with retired pararescueman Jimmy Settle. Jimmy details his arduous journey to becoming a pararescueman, or PJ, in his book “Never Quit.” He talks about the endless hours of training and everything it took to become a PJ. All of that training ultimately led him to a heavy firefight in the Watapur Valley in Afghanistan in 2010. He was part of a military operation called “Bulldog Bite 2 Charlie,” and while on his way to provide medical aid he was shot in the head. Fortunately, the bullet didn’t penetrate his skull. And after he received medical attention, he got back out there and continued his duties as a PJ. When Jimmy got back home from war, he felt broken. His career as a PJ had ended long before he had planned. On top of that, he was experiencing serious physical pain and PTSD. And he couldn’t find any help. As a result, he went through a period of suicidal depression and homelessness. Since then, Jimmy has found help in therapy, family and college. He says that “Life’s funny like that. You don’t always see the spot you’re gonna land when you let go of the thing you’re holding onto.”

"How did having a closeted father impact you?" "How do you talk about queerness with your family?" "How do you talk about queerness with kids?" "How can we all be better at normalizing queerness?"On this episode, I interview Jimmy Larkin (he/him), a fellow actor and creator of the Instagram account "Let's Heart It For The Choice" which is sweeping musical theatre accounts across the nation. When Jimmy was younger, he was cast in the show Falsettos, a musical that centers a family dealing with a father who's a newly out gay man. It was at this same time Jimmy noticed his own father was hiding something and that there might be a reason his father loved coming to see the show every night. Jimmy and I discuss what it was like having a closeted father growing up and the shame he felt was passed on to him from his father. He says how it was apparent while he was coming out because he was living in a much freer and accepting world when his father was not able to. It wasn't until recently that Jimmy felt it was time to share his father's story with his family and others not just to finally free himself and his father of his secret, but also to continue to destigmatize being gay and the shame that surrounds it. Jimmy also works with kids regularly and shares how it is imperative for him to to teach kids and in turn their parents about queerness, the importance of identifying yourself, and being an ally to those who might be different from what they are taught is "the norm."We also discuss:Gay shame and the expectations of what being Gay isWhy the struggle to talk about our personal lives is the last bit of shame Queer people hold on toThe importance of listening to kids and asking them who and what they want to be as opposed to telling themWhat can parents do to keep their children safe but not squash their method of self-expression Gendering toysAnd...Best Christmas gifts that might not have been "boy gifts"Follow Jimmy and Let's Heart It For The Choice:Jimmy: https://www.instagram.com/jimmylarkin/LHIFTC: https://www.instagram.com/letshearitforthechoice/Southern Fried Queer Pride:Learn: http://www.southernfriedqueerpride.com/our-visionDonate: http://www.southernfriedqueerpride.com/donateResources for Further Learning: Pride and Pronouns--Talking with Kids about Pronouns and Gender: http://www.genderwheel.com/pride-and-pronouns/How to Talk to Kids About Gender: https://www.parents.com/kids/how-to-talk-to-kids-about-gender/Show Produced by Nick EiblerEdited by Addison McKissackTheme Song written by Matt Gregory, Colin Egan, and Mike Hubbard Produced by Colin Egan and Mike HubbardLogo Design by David Pavón

Best Old Time Radio Podcast with Bob Bro Tuesday, September 29, 2020 - OTR Dramas Suspense: "Dead of the Night" Jimmy Barton was always close to his younger sister, Helen. While Jimmy was away for the summer, however, Helen decided somewhat impetuously to get married to Phil -- who turned out to be both abusive and dangerous. When Jimmy returns home one day, he finds Phil dead on the living room floor. In all the ensuing confusion, Mrs. Gordon, their landlady, comes to investigate the source of all the noise. Suddenly Jimmy and Helen must find a way to dispose of Phil's body. But how can they get it past the snoopy Mrs. Gordon? Featuring: Elliott Reid, Cathy Lewis, Wally Maher Original Air Date: June 19, 1947 on CBS.

If you hunt, shoot or compete with an optics-equipped firearm, this could be the most important information you hear or that you can give to your friends to create the most reliable, accurate and repeatable setup possible. “Over-Torqued Rings” is a phrase we’ve mentioned in the past on the podcast and one you may have heard about on the internet from time to time. There’s all kinds of different rings/mounts/specs/ideas/theories out there that can make actually getting the right information on how to properly tighten the rings around your scope tube difficult. While it’s nearly impossible for us to go through every single ring/mount ever created, Jimmy and Mark give a breakdown on the most common ring/mount types we see and not only how to set them up properly, but also why it’s so important that you do. We also talk about scope position in the rings, why the use of thread locker is unnecessary for your ring screws, and a bunch more… *Please note* - When Jimmy discussed the torque sequence for vertically split rings, the “Top first, then bottom” is the specific sequence we recommend for our older “Pro” or “Viper” series of rings, which are unique in and of themselves being that they’re not like other vertically split rings like those from Warne, American Defense, LaRue, etc. For some of those rings/mounts, we will actually recommend doing the bottoms first, to around 25 inch pounds, and then the tops to our recommended 15-18 inch pounds. Like we said in the podcast – there are so many ring/mount types, it’s always worth it to give us a call when mounting up your scope with a non-Vortex ring/mount to get a second opinion before diving in!

In this episode, Cody has a conversation with retired pararescueman Jimmy Settle. Jimmy details his arduous journey to becoming a pararescueman, or PJ, in his book “Never Quit.” He talks about the endless hours of training and everything it took to become a PJ. All of that training ultimately led him to a heavy firefight in the Watapur Valley in Afghanistan in 2010. He was part of a military operation called “Bulldog Bite 2 Charlie,” and while on his way to provide medical aid he was shot in the head. Fortunately, the bullet didn’t penetrate his skull. And after he received medical attention, he got back out there and continued his duties as a PJ. When Jimmy got back home from war, he felt broken. His career as a PJ had ended long before he had planned. On top of that, he was experiencing serious physical pain and PTSD. And he couldn’t find any help. As a result, he went through a period of suicidal depression and homelessness. Since then, Jimmy has found help in therapy, family and college. He says that “Life’s funny like that. You don’t always see the spot you’re gonna land when you let go of the thing you’re holding onto.”

When Jimmy was six years old, he experienced a traumatic move that caused him to stutter, which led to him becoming a selective mute. Over the next eight years, he would not speak to anyone outside his house … not clerks at stores, not teachers at school, not even students in class.That all changed one day when he was 14 and was challenged by a teacher with whom he had developed a close relationship to recite from memory in front of the class a poem he wrote. The teacher noticed the stutter disappeared when Jimmy quoted from memory, and he continued to help Jimmy find his voice … a voice that told Luke Skywalker, and the rest of the world, a secret about his father … the voice of Darth Vader, James Earl Jones.When the time came for Zechariah to name his son, Luke tells us that “he asked for a writing tablet and wrote, “His name is John … And immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, blessing God. (1:63-64)Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist, lost his voice for a short time, but regained it after showing his faithfulness to God. Afterward, we are told that he spoke praises and blessings to God. You will have the opportunity to praise God with your voice this week by telling someone the Good News of Jesus. Be on the lookout and be ready when your chance arises.

This week we turned it up to eleven and watched This is Spinal Tap. When Jimmy and Forrest found out Lucas had not seen this, we decided to record an emergency episode of the podcast. Lucas talks about knowing the references going in to the movie, but being able to connect them to his experiences playing in bands. We talk about Michael McKean's time on Saturday Night Live, Jimmy's undying love for this movie, being big in Japan, and the band Anvil. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/blanked-that/message

My guest on today’s show is Chief Architect at Headspring, author of MVC in Action books, an international speaker and a prolific OSS developer.  He is an expert in distributed systems, REST, messaging, domain-driven design and CQRS.   EPISODE DESCRIPTION: Phil’s guest on today’s podcast is Jimmy Bogard. He has a BSEE in Computer Engineering. But, he became a software developer and engineer. Jimmy worked for Icabob Design, VI Technology and Dell Inc in those roles. In 2008, he joined Headspring and, today, he is their Chief Architect. Jimmy is an expert in distributed systems, REST, domain-driven design, messaging and CQRS. He is also the author of the ASP.NET MVC in Action books, as well as a prolific OSS developer and public speaker. KEY TAKEAWAYS: (00.46) – So, Jimmy, could you tell us a little bit more around your background and your current role as chief architect at Headspring? Jimmy starts by explaining that he graduated with a computer engineering degree and kind of fell into an IT career, when he left university. In time, he landed a job at Headspring. (1.47) – Can you please share a unique career tip with the I.T. career audience? When he studied to become a computer engineer he was told that to succeed in that field you need to be continuously learning. He was told that he would need to reinvent himself every 5 or 10 years. It was a good habit to get into. When he moved into software he was already able to move from one technology to another fairly quickly. Jimmy says it is also important to stay in the know. That way you will be learning and growing in the right ways. In other words you have to become a T-shaped developer. That is to say you have a broad knowledge of a lot of subjects and technologies. But, have also taken the time to dive deep on at least one of them. (3.07) – What approach do you take when learning new technologies? Jimmy explains that the client’s needs drive the skills he learns. He focuses on learning those technologies that will help them to achieve their goals. You have to be careful not to dive in too deep. If you do that you spend too much time learning and not enough time working on the projects. To stop that from happening Jimmy periodically pauses and asks himself does this really matter? If the answer is no, he stops learning that tech or skill and focuses on something that is more relevant to what he is working on, at that moment. (4.11) – Can you tell us about your worst career moment? And what you learned from that experience. Years ago, Jimmy was working on a loyalty rewards project for a major retailer. He came up with what he thought was an important, but easy change to implement. For some reason, it went live not long before Black Friday, the busiest time of the year for the retailer. Unfortunately, a mistake slipped through. Jimmy had miss configured the dependency injection container in a way that registered some components twice. The net result was that everyone was awarded double reward points. Worse, nobody noticed the error for about 10 days. When the client asked him to check he did. But, he only ran the test locally. Not in the full environment. So, everything looked fine. In reality there was an issue. People were receiving a 10% off coupon via email. Followed shortly by an identical coupon giving them another 10% off, which they were not actually entitled to. The customers thought it was their lucky day, so did not complain. So, there were no emails from them saying there was an issue. Just a spike in the figures that was disguised by the fact this was all happening at the retailer’s busiest time. Eventually, Jimmy could see the issue and was able to fix it. But, he felt awful. The mistake was an expensive one. Understandably, the retailer did not want to take the coupons off of their customers. They were only able to revoke the duplicates that were attached to unopened emails. Naturally, changes were made to make sure something like that could not happen again. One of which is to track the key metrics and forecast what they should look like once any changes went live. Now, if they change up or down further than anticipated the system immediately flags it as a potential issue. This triggers extra tests to track down and solve any issues. (10.49) – What was your best career moment? Jimmy says that it is the things that he deliberately set out to achieve that he is proudest of. For example, building a system for a local county government in Texas, whose budget had just been slashed. For them, he took a 100% paper-based case file system and digitized it. They had tried off the shelf software, but none of it quite worked for them. When Jimmy presented his tailor-made solution to the team, he got a standing ovation. They like it that much. Better still, Jimmy was able to physically see what a difference his new system made. (13.52) – Can you tell us what excites you about the future of the IT industry and careers? The fact that the work he and other IT professionals do makes it possible for companies to do things they could not before is exciting. Jimmy knows the work he and other IT professionals makes a huge difference to people. (15.10) are there any particular tech advancements you are attracted to? Jimmy’s interest lies in technologies that help people to get their jobs done faster. (16.20) – What drew you to a career in IT? When he graduated, there were not enough computer engineering jobs to go around in Texas. He realised he had to do something else and decided to get involved in software. After all, everyone needs software and it is constantly evolving. (16.57) – What is the best career advice you have ever received? About 12 or 13 years ago, his mentor suggested to Jimmy that he start a public blog. He did, and that was what sped up his progress in the IT industry. It is something Jimmy recommends others do too. He finds that writing things down chrysalises his thoughts about things. (19.02) - Conversely, what is the worst career advice you've ever received? When he and his fellow graduates spoke to their professor about the fact they could not find jobs, his professor suggested they all go to graduate school. Advice Jimmy did not follow. He did not want to spend even more time and money studying, especially because there was no guarantee it would improve his job prospects. (19.48) – If you were to begin your IT career again, right now, what would you do? Jimmy says he would focus on finding good mentors from the start. Early in his career, he made the mistake of trying to emulate what the most popular and vocal developers were doing. But, his hero worship only took him so far. His mentors helped him far more. (20.47) – What are you currently focusing on in your career? Jimmy is working on his communication skills. He wants to be able to effectively communicate with, and influence, people who are high up in the structure of organizations. The more they understand, the better their IT-related decisions will be. He believes that this top-down approach will lead to fewer people working on projects that were flawed from the start and never see the light of day. (22.23) – What is the number one non-technical skill that has helped you the most in your IT career? When we build something the customer does not like we all have a tendency to blame them. In reality, most of the time, both parties play a role in these types of failure. Usually, it comes down to bad communication. Over the years, Jimmy has honed his communication skills, which has helped him to get better results for his customers and build a successful career. So, he sees that as his number one non-technical skill. (23.45) - What do you do to keep your own IT career energized? Jimmy has found keeping on the move helps to energize his career. Working on projects that keep him learning is essential. That is part of the reason consulting is such a good fit for him. He finds that role to be particularly energizing. (26.46) – Phil asks Jimmy to share a final piece of career advice with the audience. When Jimmy first started out he had a really bad case of imposter syndrome. He felt he could not match up to his heroes. The guys he followed and whose books he read. Around 2003, he attended a Java conference and was able to meet some of them. He went up to one of them and said something like I am happy to meet you, congratulated him on his work and told him that he was one of his heroes. The guy said thank you. But, he also said “we’re all just developers.” Basically, people trying to figure out what we’re doing and learn how to do things better. In short, all developers are novices, beginners who need to work together to figure things out. In the world of IT, you will rarely find one true expert. Things move too fast for that to happen. Nobody is an imposter, we are all still learning and everyone has something to contribute. BEST MOMENTS: (2.07) JIMMY – "Career-wise you have to reinvent yourself every five or 10 years." (2.28) JIMMY – “Make sure that you're always growing and expanding." (13.52) JIMMY – "It is exciting to know that the things we build enable our customers to do things they couldn’t before." (17.48) JIMMY – "Writing helps me to crystallize thoughts about things." (27.58) JIMMY – "Embrace your imposter syndrome. It's OK not to know exactly what you’re doing, because no one else does either."

My guest today is Jimmy Lambert, actor, director, dramatic arts educator. I met Jimmy 7 years ago in Vancouver, BC when he was on the road tour of Mamma Mia. He comfortably became an extended member of our family. Born and raised in California, Jimmy studied acting at UCLA after turning down an offer to play baseball with the Tampa Bay Rays. He is grateful for all the values he learned from working with Gary Marshall, as well as the lessons learned from his parents. Sadly, his mom died 3 years ago, and as much as he misses her physical presence on a daily basis, he is grateful that he feels her spiritual presence in his heart and even in the audiences of his performances. Although Jimmy’s relationship with his dad is tumultuous, Jimmy says that no matter how much struggle you have with your parents, he believes there is still love to be found. Jimmy has performed in regional theaters or national tours with the musicals: Hair, Mamma Mia, Legally Blonde, Big River, and now is currently on the road tour of Beautiful, the story of singer/songwriter Carole King. When Jimmy teaches dramatic arts or coaches children in acting, he loves instilling meaning and depth to the process; he cares about sharing a philosophy of art that inspires enthusiasm, wonder and joy. Jimmy knows that the more we share of ourselves, the better we help each other, and as we help each other, the better our lives can be. Enjoy the podcast!

Livin La Vida Low-Carb founder Jimmy Moore brings us an epic rant on a new anti-keto study in Episode 1418 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.” There is no shortage of news stories that come out on a daily basis making one claim or another about what type of diet is better than others. A lot fo the information that comes out can be written off as some things are better for some people than others. But what happens when a study comes out and the news media starts covering the story and propagating blatant falsehoods? Well, in the case of this new study published by The Lancet titled Dietary carbohydrate intake and mortality: a prospective cohort study and meta-analysis and the subsequent article published by CNN Low and high carb diets increase risk of early death, study finds, it quickly became evident that a response was warranted. When Jimmy realized that there were way too many falsehoods and blatant misrepresentations of the keto lifestyle and low-carb in general, he took to Instagram to launch an epic response. Listen in today as Jimmy takes apart the junk science in this study and talks about dismantles the arguments one by one and brings some clarity to the scare tactics presented by this study and news coverage.

On this episode of the Autoweek Podcast, host Rory Carroll guides Mike Pryson and Wesley Wren through the terrible Formula 1 race in Spain and Ford’s recent dominance in NASCAR. Before dissecting why the Spanish GP was bad, the team is joined by Jimmy Pelizzari by telephone to talk about his reconnaissance laps of the Southern Ohio Forest Rally. When Jimmy isn’t talking about F1 on the podcast, or doing his actual job at Autoweek, he races a Subaru 2.5RS in various stage rallies around the Midwest. Jimmy gives a firsthand account of the stages of the Southern Ohio event, as well as insight into what it’s like to go rally racing. Afterward, Robin Warner, Mike and Jimmy interview Wayne Taylor Racing’s Jordan Taylor. Jordan talks about his life of racing and watching his brother leave his team, and tells some stories about his early racing career. Jordan also talks about how demanding the different races of the year can be, with their vastly different race lengths. Following the interview, Graham Kozak leads a discussion about the 2019 Bentley Continental GT with Robin, Jake Lingeman and Wesley. The crew dives deep into the Bentley’s new bones and talk about what makes it special. They also pit it against other notable grand tourers in a hypothetical purchasing situation. Closing the show, they talk about the Bentley’s insane rotating infotainment screen.

Today’s topic is something I have never thought much about at all.  And that’s true even though my oldest child was in this situation, and no one seemed to think much about it when he was accepted to Berklee College of Music a dozen years ago.  When Jimmy applied to Berklee (the college we like to say that offers the best contemporary music education in the world), he was admitted for the following spring semester rather than for the fall.  I looked at that as a great opportunity for him to study abroad for a semester.  I found a great fall semester program sponsored by the American Institute for Foreign Study (everybody should check out AIFS’s huge variety of excellent programs).  I knew he would still graduate on time since he had college credits from courses he had taken while in high school, and I figured that he would have even more from studying abroad.  It sounded great to me!  Of course, I now realize that is not how many students--who just applied to college under Early Action or Early Decision plans and were admitted for next spring instead of next fall--likely feel.  Some of them--perhaps many of them--and their parents are clearly disappointed with their recent news.  So, let’s take a look at spring admissions and how families should feel about that decision, regardless of how you feel about it now. 1. Tulane University’s Spring Scholars A couple of weeks ago, we quoted from a blog written by Jeff Schiffman, the Director of Admission at Tulane University, a great school in the even greater city of New Orleans.  At the time, he was giving some advice to students who had applied early and been deferred till the regular decision round.  When I was reading Mr. Schiffman’s blog, I noticed another post from December 18, and I’d like to read some excerpts from it now.  This is about spring admissions at Tulane to a program Tulane calls Spring Scholars (feel free to go to his blog and read the whole piece): The most common question I get from Spring Scholars is, “Why was I admitted for the spring?” The answer has to do with how we review applications and the increase in popularity Tulane has seen over the past few years. Our admission office is very big on the holistic review process. That means we spend a great deal of time creating a class of students based on everything you present to us in your application. Spring Scholars have excellent applications in nearly all regards. There are amazing alumni interviews, great “Why Tulane?” statements, and outstanding letters of recommendation in every application. When reading your application, we knew immediately that you want to come to Tulane and that you would be a great fit here. That said, Tulane has become an increasingly popular university and that has made it more and more competitive to gain admission here.  I suspect that our overall admit rate this year will be lower than last year's which was around 21%. Unfortunately, that means that over 80% of the students who apply to Tulane this year will not be admitted for either the fall or spring. By the numbers, we also saw our strongest Early Action pool in history, with a middle 50% range on the ACT between 31-34 and SAT between 1440-1540. These are by no means cutoffs, but it does give you a sense of just how competitive Tulane is this year. We can’t take every academically qualified student who applies, but for a small group who we believe will be fantastic fits, we admit them as a part of our Spring Scholars program.  With those facts in mind, I have some suggestions for next steps to take if you have been admitted as a Spring Scholar. First, take some time to think about it. I know your preference would be to start class in the fall, but the Spring Scholars option is a final decision—it’s non-binding and you have until May 1st to decide. There will be no Spring Scholars switched to the fall semester at any point. Before you reach out with questions, take some time to read the FAQx for the program; there’s some great info in there about housing (we guarantee it!) and Greek life (you can still go through the recruitment process!) (quoted from the blog) Okay, so let’s look at the numbers.  These are some pretty impressive numbers for Tulane (and they help explain why some students I know did not get in under Early Action, even though they were great students with all the necessary qualifications).  And, these numbers underline again what we said two weeks ago:  Expect a bumpy road for the next couple of months if you are waiting for admission decisions from very good and great colleges.  The numbers are not very student friendly.  And then, Mr. Schiffman makes some good points to the Spring Scholars:  You have absolutely been admitted, you will absolutely have campus housing even though you will be arriving in the middle of the year, and you will absolutely be able to go through fraternity and sorority rush (which you actually cannot at some colleges with this spring admissions plan, and it is very important to some students and is more important at some colleges than others).  What Mr. Schiffman does next in his blog is downright fascinating:  He prints a full-color photo of The American University of Paris, with a caption that reads, “Your other fall campus option!”  What?  Here’s my view:  One of the only cities in the world that is lovelier than New Orleans is Paris!  How clever is that!  Here is what Mr. Schiffman wrote: Next, consider your options for the fall. We’re so excited about the fall abroad programming we offer Spring Scholars in both Rome and Paris. You’ll have the option to spend your fall term with a cohort of Tulane students at one of two incredible universities abroad: The John Cabot University in Rome or The American University of Paris (AUP). Schools like Northeastern, Cornell, Miami, Delaware, and the University of Southern California also have freshmen at these campuses during the fall. . . .  If you’d prefer to stay stateside, you can take classes as a non-degree-seeking student at a school of your choice, participate in a gap semester program, take a semester to work, or maybe participate in service. It’s really up to you! (quoted from the blog) Here is what Mr. Schiffman wrote next: Next, plan a visit to campus during one of our two dedicated Spring Scholar Destination Tulane dates. The dates you should plan on coming are either February 17th or April 21st. This event is tailor-made for Spring Scholars. You’ll be able to meet other students admitted into the Spring Scholars program this year, hear from current Spring Scholars, and attend presentations from both John Cabot and AUP. . . . If Tulane truly is where you see yourself, we’d love to have you join us in January 2019. Currently, we have 75 Spring Scholars excited to start at Tulane in just a few weeks! Oh, and expect a visit from me in Paris or Rome in the fall. I’m not joking! (quoted from the blog) It sounds to me like Mr. Schiffman has made the best possible overture to the new Spring Scholars and has offered them a super-attractive plan for what to do next fall, which might sound even better to some students than starting at Tulane in the fall.  Smart move! 2. Where Else? Well, of course, it’s not just Tulane.  As it happens, my own alma mater, Cornell University, posted this on its website about its First-Year Spring Admission program for its College of Arts and Sciences and its College of Agriculture and Life Sciences: Over the past decade, Cornell University has experienced a more than 100% increase in first-year admissions applications. For this year’s class, Cornell reviewed close to 47,000 applications for a class of 3,275 new first-year students. In order to allow more students to benefit from a Cornell education, the university has developed an exciting option. In January 2018, Cornell University will welcome approximately 60 freshmen to begin their Cornell experience starting in the spring semester. . . .  Students selected for spring semester enrollment are exceptional candidates whom we are unable to admit for fall because of on-campus space constraints. Students with a record of academic achievement and who exhibit the important qualities of leadership and initiative have been selected for this special program. . . . Students offered the opportunity to enroll in January will be asked to submit an enrollment deposit to confirm their place. During the summer, we will contact you to confirm your plans for the fall semester (e.g. taking classes, traveling abroad, participating in public service, working, etc.). Cornell will then contact you in September to confirm that you are indeed planning to enroll in January. Once confirmed, we will work with you to pre-register for courses for the spring semester and have you start other processes (such as applying for housing and dining options). You will participate in an orientation program when you arrive in January (a few days before classes begin) to ensure that you are ready for success. (quoted from the website) Okay, Big Red, I have to say that doesn’t sound quite as exciting as Tulane’s Spring Scholars, and it certainly doesn’t have Mr. Schiffman’s hype (which I don’t say pejoratively).  Plus--and this is also true of the Tulane program--just how big a deal is this program when it is admitting 60 kids when the freshman class was over 3,000.  I have to say that I have not quite figured that out yet.  It should, on the other hand, make the spring students feel genuinely good about themselves and their qualifications because they are really part of a relatively tiny select group.  Would I advise a student to wait to attend Cornell until the spring if that’s the best admissions deal the student could get?  Frankly, I would . . . in a heartbeat. And then there’s Middlebury College, an excellent liberal arts college in Vermont, perhaps best known for its outstanding language programs.  For about 30 years, Middlebury has been enrolling about 100 students for its spring semester, which begins in February.  Clearly, 100 students is a bigger proportion of the total of about 700 freshmen admitted at Middlebury at about 15 percent (compared to not quite 2 percent at Cornell and perhaps about double that percentage at Tulane).  Here is some background on Middlebury’s idea: February admission is a program developed by former Dean of Admissions Fred Neuberger in a creative effort to fill dorm space that was empty during spring semester because so many Middlebury students study abroad. Rather than admit a large class of transfer students, the College decided to admit another class of first-year students, or “Febs.” (quoted from the website) Okay, so that’s interesting.  February admission solved a problem for the college rather than a problem for the students.  Of course, that really isn’t suprising, but it doesn’t make it a bad idea.  The website continues: February students are chosen from the same applicant pool as September students and all students are notified of their admission at the same time in late March or early April. Students may indicate on the application their preference for a starting date (September only, February only, or either), but this is ultimately an Admissions Office decision. Some students who indicate an interest in September may be offered a place in our February class. Many applicants now tell us they’d prefer to be “Febs,” and some even outline their plans for the fall in their applications. (quoted from the website) Well, that’s not surprising, either, given the increasing interest by high school students in taking a gap year (feel free to go back and listen to our Episode 115 from last spring).  I guess if a program is well established at a college, the way Middlebury’s appears to be, that gives students one more reasonable option to consider during the whole application process.  The website continues: Being admitted as a Feb is a full admission to the College community. We choose our Febs because we see in them students who will use wisely the time between high school graduation and their studies at Middlebury. “Febs” tend to be highly energetic leaders in their school communities, or students who have already sought unconventional and creative opportunities in their high school careers. Febs typically come to Middlebury ready to “hit the ground running.” Before arriving on campus, Febs have several months that are entirely their own. The College does not seek to direct or recommend certain pursuits. . . . Some Febs work to save money and then travel. Other Febs pursue service opportunities or internships. As February first-years, students enter in February and leave four years later in February--in their caps and gowns, but also on skis, snowshoes, or sleds at Middlebury’s own ski area, the Snow Bowl! The February celebration has become a hallmark of a Middlebury winter. February seniors and their families enjoy a full weekend of festivities on campus and at the Middlebury College Snow Bowl. February admission does not imply that students will graduate in three and a half years. Any student (September or Feb) may choose to use AP credits, or other transferable credit, to accelerate his course of study, but that’s not the intention of the Feb admission program.  (quoted from the website) Middlebury has clearly made “Febs” an integral part of the College.  3. The Trends So, what are the trends in spring admissions programs?  Here are a few.  Colleges are not trying to push spring starters out in three and a half years; spring starters are expected to be there for four full years, but are certainly welcome to get out in three and a half by taking some courses elsewhere or using college credits earned during high school.  Spring starters are going to live on campus, often with students of their own age.  Spring starters will participate fully in all of the extracurricular activities that colleges offer (including fraternity and sorority life, but perhaps on a slightly delayed schedule for that).  Spring starters who play on varsity sports teams will have four full seasons of athletic eligibility available to them.  And spring starters will probably get some kind of special orientation designed for them so that they can immediately feel at home in the college community. So, what’s the downside of spring admissions?  Maybe not much at all—especially if it gets a student into a great school that he or she has at the top of the list. Find our books on Amazon!

Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #76 Elastic Lad Jimmy and His Legion Romances! April 1964 w: Jerry Siegel a: John Forte Having invited Lucy Lane over for a date, Jimmy tries his best to try to impress her in hope that she will like him more. However, everything turns out to be uninteresting and dull compared to her other suitors. When Jimmy attempts to show her the exploits of the Legion of Super-Heroes with the aid of the time monitor they gave him, their date is interrupted by the arrival of Ultra-Boy and Sun-Boy who have come to ask for Jimmy's help on a mission in the 30th Century. Jimmy agrees to go and tells Lucy to stay and watch him in action on the time monitor, hoping this is the ticket he needs to get her to like him. In the future, Jimmy is left with Saturn Girl, Triplicate Girl, and Light Lass who tell him that he has to be active with the Legion at least twice a year, and so they give him a replica of his Elastic Lad costume and serum so that he can assist them in transporting a priceless Venusian idol to the Astro Museum. Along the way, Jimmy not only has to deal with disasters, wild animals, and criminals, but also the romantic advances of the three female Legion members. After their mission is over, the three girls fight over Jimmy's affections until he is picked up by Ultra-Boy and Sun-Boy who return Jimmy to his own time. With Jimmy gone the girls drop their charade, having staged the whole thing, knowing that Lucy Lane would be watching on the time monitor, in hopes that their advances on Jimmy would make her jealous enough to treat him better. When Jimmy returns to his own time, he finds that Lucy had fallen asleep, and demands a taxi home after listening to Jimmy's "wild story". Watching this through their own time monitor in the 30th Century, the Legion girls are disappointed with the outcome of their little charade. - via DC Wikia Adventure Comics #321 The Code of the Legion! June 1964 w: Edmond Hamilton a: John Forte When the Legion intruder alarm goes off, it turns out to be Bouncing Boy, who has just lost his powers due to an accidental exposure to a ray being developed by Element Lad. Instead of expelling him, the Legion decides to keep Bouncing Boy on as a reserve member of the Legion. Later the Legion is visited by Commissioner Wilson who has heard of a secret weapon the Legion has developed called the Concentrator. It's a device so devastating, the Legion refuses to tell anyone it's secret. The Commissioner decides to test the Legion's ability to keep this secret by putting each Legion member through a test designed to put them up against the most lethal attack possible, in an attempt to coerce the secret out of them. All the Legion members pass except for Lightning Lad who tells the Commissioner the secret. As punishment, Lightning Lad is to be imprisoned. However, Lightning Lad confides in his fellow Legionnaires that the information he told the Commissioner was false, and the if the Commissioner was an impostor he would soon be flushed out. Sure enough, the "Commissioner" turns out to be the Time Trapper, and when he realizes the deception he returns behind the Iron Curtain of Time once more. After his defeat, the Legion rescue the real Commander and vow to stop the Time Trapper once and for all. Later, the Legion meets up with their now powerless member Bouncing Boy who introduces them to his new girlfriend, who turns out to be just as fat as he used to be. - via DC Wikia

Jimmy had been up on the Mountain praying for just that when he spotted a crystal rolling down the stream engraved with the words “To love another person is to see the face of God”. When Jimmy found the crystal it painted a rainbow towards the whole gang under the hood of Jimmy's Jeep creating quite a stir.   Now Jimmy is climbing in to his Jeep headed to Pop's Malt shop to meet Allie…

Verb: Producing content with no real value for your audience. To record for the sake of hearing one’s own voice. To record for the sake of keeping with a self-inflicted schedule. When asked to answer the question, “That episode moved you to ….” your audience will not be able to answer (or answer, “It moved me to go to another podcast). When Jimmy started the podcast with “Well, I’m not really sure what I’m going to talk about today but I wanted to get an episode out,” I knew I was going to get an earful of casturbation. When Jimmy spent 25 minutes to get to the point, one could say there was a large amount of casturbation in that 30 minute episode. 2. Verb: Participating in activities that provide no real value to your podcast. Jimmy’s stack of 3 microphones, 4 mixers, 6 portable recorders, and three hosting account leads me to believe he has a serious casturbation problem.  Read the full blog post here Dennis Miller and Emily Morse Hosting the 10th Annual Podcast Awards New Media Expo just announced that comedian, actor, radio host Dennis Miller and (radio, podcasters, TV) Emily Morse will be hosting the Podcast Awards.

In some cases people will go the extra mile and research popular (related and unrelated) hashtags and use them in their tweets. What Bryan's Numbers Show Bryan's numbers increased by a factor of 12X. He went from 150 to 1800 downloads per day. Does it increase downloads? Yes. As we said, in the case of Bryan it multiplied them by 12. Brian's downloads went up immediately and the minute his test was over, the downloads went away. The bottom line his numbers per day pre and post test did not change. Yes he got downloads (more than likely from robots) Check out Bryan's full post on the subject. So Your Spamming Twitter - What is the Big Deal? The BIG PROBLEM that this causes is when someone takes these artificially inflated numbers and use them for securing advertisers. When the advertiser doesn't get a good return on their investment they not only quit advertising on your show, but they tell other potential sponsors, "Podcast Advertising doesn't work." When your actions move podcast advertisers (and their friends) away from sponsoring more podcasts, you are hurting the podcasting in general.
