Happy Monday. It's time to get Mighty! Ryan is here to help review the 1993 classic, Rookie of the Year. ABOUT COOL RUNNINGS:When a Jamaican sprinter is disqualified from the Olympic Games, he enlists the help of a dishonored coach to start the first Jamaican Bobsled Team.AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR COOL RUNNINGS:October 1, 1993 | TheatersCAST & CREW OF COOL RUNNINGS:Leon as Derice BannockDoug E. Doug as Sanka CoffieRawle D. Lewis as Junior BevilMalik Yoba as Yul BrennerJohn Candy as Irving “Irv” BlitzerBRAN'S COOL RUNNINGS SYNOPSIS: We're in Jamaica, and it's not quite bobsled time. We meet Jamaican sprinter Derice running through town. It's November 1987, and Derice is preparing to qualify for the Olympics. He runs until he reaches the pushcart competition, where his best friend Sanka competes in the big pushcart race. Sanka crashes, but no problem—Derice keeps running.It's time for the qualifying race. Derice is the clear favorite. The top four finishers will represent Jamaica in the Olympics. Unfortunately, the runner next to him, Junior, stumbles and takes Derice down with him.Derice tries to convince the Olympic committee leader to rerun the race, but it's a no-go. On his way out, he notices a picture of his late father standing next to another man. He asks who it is, and learns that it's Irv Blitzer, a fellow gold medalist who once competed in bobsledding. Irv lives in Jamaica now, working as a bookie and living a miserable life.It takes a while, but Derice finally wears him down, and Blitzer agrees to give him a shot. They gather a group of people together, but Blitzer scares them off by showing a reel of bobsled crashes. By the time it ends, the room is empty—except for one of the other runners who fell with Junior, a grumpy guy named Yul. The problem is, there's no such thing as a three-man bobsled team. That's when Junior shows up. Yul tries to fight him when he walks in, but—like it or not—that's their squad.They get to work, and after a lot of crashing and falling, they finally manage to get into the bobsled in under six seconds.Now they need funding. After failing to land a sponsor, they try random fundraisers, but still fall short. Junior steps up and sells his fancy car to cover the rest of the costs.To Calgary they go. Blitzer registers the team and borrows a rundown bobsled from a former teammate. The Jamaicans struggle to adapt to, well, ice. Derice talks to an opponent who warns him that Blitzer is holding him back—that he hasn't been the same since he was caught cheating.Meanwhile, the other teammates get into a bar fight at a honky-tonk. Derice gives them a pep talk about locking in and focusing.It's time for qualifying, and Blitzer surprises them with their very own uniforms. They need to make it under 60 seconds—and THEY DO IT!They celebrate by painting their sled and naming it Cool Runnings. But soon after, they receive a letter: they've been disqualified. Blitzer storms into the rules committee meeting, insisting they not penalize the team for his past mistakes. After deliberation, the committee reinstates them.It's Olympic time. Back home, everyone watches as they march in the opening ceremonies. Junior's dad tries to pull him back home, but Junior stands up to him at last.The team's first run on the track is a disaster, and they finish dead last. Derice tries copying the Swiss team's methods, but Sanka pushes back—telling him they need to be themselves. On the second day, they race in their own style and finish eighth.During their final race, a loose screw causes one of the bobsled's blades to detach, sending the sled crashing and flipping over. Determined to finish, the team lifts the sled and carries it across the finish line. The crowd erupts in applause—including Junior's father.The epilogue explains that the team returned to Jamaica as heroes, and came back four years later to the Winter Olympics to compete as equals.

Luister naar de nieuwe podcast serie: "Derde Ronde van Los Angeles van 1932 tot 2028"The salient point of this podcast episode revolves around the historical instances of disqualifications in Olympic sports, particularly focusing on the events of 1932 and the subsequent implications of such actions. We delve into the tumultuous water polo match between Brazil and Germany, where the Brazilian team faced disqualification due to misconduct, leading to an altercation with the referees. This discussion serves as a precursor to a broader exploration of various Olympic events marred by disqualifications, including those stemming from doping violations. I further illuminate the context of the 1984 Olympics, where doping emerged as a significant issue, noting a marked increase in violations in subsequent games.

The speakers provide a meticulous examination of the disqualifications during the 1984 Olympics, identifying a significant uptick in doping violations across various sports. This segment not only elucidates the mechanisms of doping detection but also reflects on the broader implications for athletes and the integrity of the Olympic movement. The discussion is enriched by statistical insights into the prevalence of doping violations, as well as personal anecdotes that contextualize these occurrences within the larger narrative of Olympic history. The speakers emphasize the ongoing battle against doping, drawing parallels between past and present, and probing the effectiveness of current regulations in safeguarding the spirit of competition.Takeaways: In the 1932 Olympic water polo match, Brazil faced disqualification due to team misconduct. The intense emotions from the 1932 water polo incident demonstrate the longstanding passion for competitive sports. Doping emerged as a significant issue in the 1984 Olympics with multiple athletes testing positive.

Both the Summer and Winter Olympics have histories of disqualification related to doping infractions. The case of Aad van den Hoek highlights the repercussions of doping within the realm of competitive cycling.

Plus, he reveals how he accidentally became a pilot instead of a brakeman and tells the wild true story of how Cool Runnings was almost about Australia, not Jamaica. It's a fascinating, fun, and inspiring conversation you won't want to miss!

We're the kind of people who'd lick a glacier just to say we've “explored it cold.” No matter what we're talking about—be it cheese, space travel, or ancient plumbing—we'll somehow loop it back to the environment. And yes, between two questions, we casually teleport 11,000 miles—from croissants in Paris to kiwis in the Bay of Plenty. Our carbon footprint is basically a world tour.Margot, from Paris, France is the listener setting the first question today. “What is the significance of pilgrimage in different religions?”Alex thinks pilgrimages are just fancy holidays with extra soul-searching. Stuart's like, “Pilgrimage? Could be a museum binge or a walk to your nan's—whatever moves you.” William treats Finland like his personal Zen dojo. Alex says you don't even need to leave your sofa—just vibe deeply. Stuart reckons all pilgrimages, religious or not, are just brain space with a passport. William's in it for the emotional detox. Environmentally? Alex hugs trees locally. Stuart reads the fine print before jumping on the eco-bandwagon. William wants pilgrimages with less carbon and more conscience.Ryan, from Bay Of Plenty, New Zealand sets the next question. “Does the concept of fate or destiny play a role in the meaning of life and choices we make?”Alex treats destiny like a cosmic suggestion box—no proof, but hey! Stuart's into fate with a side of free will, like life's a GPS with optional detours. William's not buying it—he's Team DIY Life Plan. Alex likes spreadsheets over spontaneity. Stuart says embracing life's chaos is liberating, like nihilism but with better PR. William, after hearing the others, realizes he's never properly Googled “destiny” and might give it a second thought. Eco twist? Alex says ponder fate while hugging a tree. Stuart suggests debating destiny to save the planet. William wants to slow-cook his existential crisis and see if it's compostable.The video link of the race William refers to which was when Australian Steven Bradbury won gold medal at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUi4-H6hfw8What do you make of this discussion?

He's a hockey Hall of Famer who now has a movie credit to his name. He's also an entrepreneur in a life that has always been on the go.Chris Chelios drops by for a fun chat with Neil and Vic IN THIS EPISODE:[01:38] - The Happy Gilmore 2 experience where Chris played a non-speaking role as a henchman alongside fellow NHLer Sean Avery.[04:07] - Chris shares the story of when Avery moved into his house when the two were UHL teammates during the 2004-05 NHL lockout. That Avery wasn't the ideal house guest would be an understatement.[06:06] - Aside from the final seven games of his NHL career as a member of the Atlanta Thrashers, Cheli shares the significance of playing the other 1644 games with three of the "Original Six" teams, Montreal, Chicago and Detroit.[09:21] - How Cheli wound up with number 7 in Chicago with some additional backstory on him wearing 24 in Detroit.[10:34] - Playing for Scotty Bowman and Mike Keenan[13:46] - Cheli trashes Keenan's office.[15:36] - With the Winter Olympics coming up in Italy in 2026, Chris talks about the differences competing as an olympic amateur in 1984 on the heels of the "Miracle on Ice" team and as a professional in 1998, 2002 and 2006. He also notes that though many on that 1980team did not have star careers, the doors that opened for Americans because of that group were immeasurable.[18:08] - Returning to Chicago and Wrigley Field to throw out the first pitch and sing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame."[21:11] - Having owned restaurants and having his own brand of Chili, Cheli talks about his venture into tequila.[23:18] - What's next for Chris Chelios?[25:32] - Looking back, despite not having won a Stanley Cup in Chicago, seeing Patrick Kane's overtime winner in 2010 to give the Blackhawks their first championship since 1961 still rings special for Cheli. [29:37] - Having played with so many players over 26 NHL seasons and international tournaments, there's still two players Chris would have like to have played just one game with...[31:17] - Returning to thoughts on Messier, Chris tells the story of accidently clipping him with his stick and then happening to Google Mess top elbows. Amidst the banter, there is little mistaking the ruthlessness needed to win in the NHL.[34:51] - A legendary workout fiend, Cheli's approach is a bit different than in the past.[38:03] - Vic and Neil wrap up with another franchise on the horizon.X: https://twitter.com/NHLWraparoundNeil Smith: https://twitter.com/NYCNeilVic Morren: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vic-morren-7038737/NHL Wraparound Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/nhlwraparound/#NHLWraparound #ShortShifts #NYCentric #StanleyCupdate #NeilSmith #VicMorren #NHL #SummerCoolers #CenebritySeries #ChrisChelios #MontrealCanadiens #ChicagoBlackhawks #DetroitRedWings #AtlantaThrashers #JasonSpezza #LucRobitaille #HappyGilmore2 #AdamSandler #ShooterMcGavin #TravisKelce #SeanAvery #MotorCityMechanics #BobProbert #MikeKeenan #DenisSavard #BobGaimey #LarryRobinson #GuyLafleur #JacqueLemaire #SergeSavard #EdOlczyk #DaleHawerchuk #MarianIlitch #BobbyHull #PitMartin #RayBourque #PaulCoffey #PhilEsposito #ScottyBowman #KrisDraper #DarrenMcCarty #KirkMaltby #SteveYzerman #DarrylSutter #MarkMessier #KenMorrow #NealBroten #MarkJohnson #DaveChristian #WrigleyField #ChicagoCubs #ChicagoWhiteSox #MikeDitka #OzzyOsbourne #ElBandidoYankeeTequila #BobMorris #ESPN #TNT #CaleyChelios #WayneGretzky #ConnorMcDavid #HenrikLundqvist #JeffBlashill #PatrickKane #SethJones #BrentSeabrook #JonathanToews #DuncanKeith #MikeModano #EddieLitzenberger #MarioLemieux #GordieHowe #ConnorBedard #NathanMacKinnon

In today's episode Iain speaks with Fiona Easdale, managing director and co-founder of the Val d'Isere chalet specialist YSE Ski.  She was racing downhill in the Winter Olympics at just 16 years old, then worked in sports management with World Cup winning footballers, before her return to the ski industry with Bladon Lines.  There, she rose through the ranks to become managing director, before going off on her own to set up YSE Ski with John Yates-Smith – a company that's now been in business for over 30 years.  This episode is the latest in a series of podcasts I've been publishing focussing on women in the snowsports industry.

Season 8 concludes with our final conversation about the new strategic direction at the David Eccles School of Business. In this episode we go straight to the top for another discussion with Dean Kurt Dirks. Dean Dirks reflects on his first year on the job, and shares his thoughts about the strategic priorities of student success, societal impact, and what a strong legacy for the Eccles School really means. Together with host Frances Johnson, Dean Dirks highlights some significant achievements of the past year, including increased student enrollment, re-accreditation by the ACSB, and substantial donations from alumni through a novel fundraising strategy. Dean Dirks also discusses future plans including innovative educational models, fostering business community relationships, and leveraging unique economic opportunities in Utah, such as the 2034 Winter Olympics. This episode provides an in-depth look at the exciting growth and future ambitions of the Eccles School as it aims to become the premier business education institution in the West.Eccles Business Buzz is a production of the David Eccles School of Business and is produced by University.fm.Eccles Business Buzz is proud to be selected by FeedSpot as one of the Top 70 Business School podcasts on the web. Learn more at https://podcast.feedspot.com/us_business_school_podcasts. Episode Quotes:Dean Kurt on why the university's three strategic goals stood out[08:32] We can be stronger and more successful if our priorities are aligned with the university's priorities.On ensuring our impact lasts for generations[10:05] We are coming up on our 110th year as a school in a few years. We have a very proud legacy of helping to have that societal impact and helping students over time, and we want to make sure that that continues long into the future to ensure that we have that pride of our students and alumni, that they are carrying the flag with them as they go out into the world, that we have the financial strength to be able to achieve those goals, and that we have the reputation that matches our quality. I think that's one of the things that have come to discover is that we have an amazing campus here and a university here, and that we need to make sure the rest of the world knows about that.The implementation phase: executing internally and creating new opportunities externally.[17:31] Another area that we're looking at is how to create some programs which are, again, helping to fit and fuel the Utah economy and there's a number of them that we are looking at there. One of the ones which I'm excited about with the Olympics coming as well as all the pro sports teams here, as well as creating the sports and entertainment district downtown. I think there's a great opportunity for us to do something around the business of sports. And so, I've been in conversations with a number of our leaders throughout the community about what that might look like. What types of relationships might we build, what type of opportunities out there are there to get our students involved in this very exciting era of our community.Dean Kurt opens up about the unexpected insights from his first year in leadership.[13:10] We're going to lean heavily into the concept of students are not coming here just to get a degree, but they're coming here to not only learn business but also to experience business. So, we're going to lean into a model which is really all around learning through experience. And that is in the classroom in various ways. It's not just listening to a lecture and taking a test.It's really learning through experience and really absorbing the information, discovering what that means for themselves. I learned that happens in the classroom as well as how it also goes beyond the classroom. So, students are out there doing projects with businesses which have real meaning, real consequences, as well as the internships. That's the first concept.And part of that student success priority is how do we bring that to light? We're doing a lot of it already, I have to say. And that's what so impressed me. And so, this is really taking that to the next level of how we fully integrate into it to make sure that our students are prepared for how business can evolve and change in the future and to be able to help them achieve success right away when they're going to and be at a competitive advantage compared to their peers who are going to other institutions.So, what does that look like for all of our students? The other pieces that we're also looking at then is how we create ensure access so that students desire and opportunities are not hindered by anything that they bring to the school in terms of their economics or background or anything else that we want all students to be able to, again, seek and reach their peak. And so, making sure that we are placed for access to do that. And we've had, you know, so many alumni and supporters come on to make sure that that happens.Show Links:Kurt Dirks | Eccles School of Business ProfileKurt Dirks | LinkedIn ProfileKurt Dirks | InstagramDavid Eccles School of Business (@ubusiness) | InstagramUndergraduate Scholars ProgramsRising Business LeadersEccles Alumni Network (@ecclesalumni) | Instagram Eccles Experience Magazine

MORE REMINDER THAT THE ACTUAL CORRUPTION OF THE GERMAN REPUBLIC, 1933-1939, WAS NOTHING ANALOGOUS TO THE TURBULENCE IN THE AMERICAN REPUBLIC, 2016-2025:  9/16:  Coffee With Hitler: The Untold Story of the Amateur Spies Who Tried to Civilize the Nazis by  Charles Spicer  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Coffee-Hitler-Untold-Amateur-Civilize/dp/1639362266 "How might the British have handled Hitler differently?” remains one of history's greatest "what ifs." Coffee with Hitler tells the astounding story of how a handful of amateur British intelligence agents wined, dined, and befriended the leading National Socialists between the wars. With support from royalty, aristocracy, politicians, and businessmen, they hoped to use the recently founded Anglo-German Fellowship as a vehicle to civilize and enlighten the Nazis. 1936 WINTER OLYMPICS
