Podcasts about Zoltar

Be careful what you wish for… Ahhh, who amongst us hasn't fallen prey to this old adage? I myself once dreamed of a world where I would have free access to endless Taco Bell and Mountain Dew Livewire - alas, I had to endure an apocalypse in order to get those wishes. Ah well, it was worth it. But, sadly, the same can't be said for my good buddy, Ryan. The fool wished on a Zoltar machine at the local Bartertown carnival and now he's got to deal with an abnormally shrunken head, instead of an abnormally large one. Thankfully, we just so happen to have an answer to Ryan's problem in the video store. And it just so happens to come courtesy of our old pal, Penny Marshall, and America's Sweetheart, Tom Hanks. I'm your host and former thirteen year old, Dave, and joining me as we thirst over Elizabeth Perkins in a Jets jersey are fellow cinephiles Mike, Jackie, and former Big Head, Ryan. Topics of discussion in this episode include the questionable hiring practices at Macmillan Toys; we wonder if Big is just Anne Spielberg writing about her man-child brother, Stevie; and finally, we discuss the fallout of what happened after Susan realized that she had sex with a thirteen year old Manic Pixie Dream Boy / Man.

And remember, don't go wishing on a Zoltar machine unless your city has one hell of a Consumer Affairs department.

Send us a textKatie and Bridget each get big and do their secret handshake song as they re-watch the 80's classic: Big! It's a movie all about how if you're a 12 year old white boy who suddenly becomes Big and moves into the city with literally no money - you will eventually "fall up" and get promoted to VP of a toy company - just cause! Duh! Come along as we meet Josh, the 12 year old going on 30 year old who goes into the city while he tries to reverse his Zoltar-infused growth spurt. With the help of his best friend Billy, the ultimate ride-or-die bff, he gets on his feet and gets a job at a toy company - where he again, falls up. This movie asks the tough questions like: why are corporate meetings so stupid? How come we don't all have indoor trampolines in our homes? Where can we play on a life size piano in a public toy store to get a crazy raise!? All these and more in this coming of age comedy with lots of heart as well as some predatory behavior! Released in 1988, it stars Tom Hanks, Elizabeth Perkins, John Heard, Robert Loggia, and Jared Rushton.

Let's face it, dealing with the future isn't something we can kick down the road. And at the intersection of people, technology, and brand, change is coming faster than ever before. We could blame Generative AI. Or we can embrace it and use it as an accelerant for our teams, employers, customers, and brands... In this episode of The Trending Communicator, host Dan Nestle welcomes award-winning digital innovator, public speaker, and agency executive Rob Davis, the Chief Digital Innovation Officer at MSL, for an engaging conversation on the future of communications and marketing. Rob, a digital pioneer with a career spanning broadcast TV and leading agencies, shares his journey of invention and innovation (and his good fortune at attaining a role that Dan not-so-secretly covets). From his early days at MTV, where he developed the world's first interactive game show, to his groundbreaking work at Ogilvy and now MSL Global, Rob has consistently been at the forefront of digital innovation. His accolades, including the Provoke Media Innovator 25 and two consecutive appearances in the PRWeek Dashboard 25, merely scratch the surface of his influence and expertise. He and Dan explore how Generative AI is reshaping how we approach communications and marketing and what that means for brands. They cover the importance of understanding and utilizing AI prompts, the evolving nature of authority in content, and the critical need for brands to adapt to the rapid advancements in technology. They address how AI impacts brand communication—shifting the dynamics between brands, media, and consumers. Rob stresses the need for brands to curate content that directly engages AI models to enhance discoverability and relevance. Moving on to the future of work, Rob notes that AI is reshaping job paths in communications, offering opportunities to integrate new talent and innovative roles. He encourages professionals to embrace AI to remain competitive in the workforce. Whether you're a communications novice or a seasoned professional, this episode offers lessons on embracing change, leveraging technology for enhanced communication strategies, and staying ahead in a fast-paced digital world. There's no doubt that AI will significantly impact the future of communications and marketing - listen in to hear what you can do about it for your future and the brands you represent.   Listen in and hear about...  How generative AI is revolutionizing communications and marketing.  Mastering AI prompts to boost content creation and engagement.  AI search algorithms reshaping content discoverability and relevance.  Workforce dynamics shifting with AI, creating new job opportunities.  Brands adapting content strategies to thrive in an AI-driven world.  Opportunities and challenges of AI and emerging technologies in business.   Notable Quotes On the Evolution of Technology and Career: - "I came out of college at a time in the early nineties when everything was starting to change and everything I was passionate about, music, photography, video, storytelling, all individual passions, all of a sudden had a place to go, and I've just kind of let the industry take me along." — Rob Davis [00:03:42 → 00:04:02] On the Thrill of Innovation: - "The thrill of that. It's funny, it wasn't an ego building thrill. It was a hunger building thrill. I said, I got to find more of this. Where does this come from? How do I tap into this bucket over and over again? And that's kind of what's driven me all along." — Rob Davis [00:06:24 → 00:06:42] On the Acceleration of Technology: - "I look at the years between advances from that era and it's like those advances are happening in months, if not weeks." — Rob Davis [00:09:31 → 00:09:47] On the Power of AI and Prompting: - "You can go to chat GPT the first time and you're probably going to treat it like this is a fortune telling arcade game. Zoltan. Zoltar, you're asking a question and you're going to get an answer, and as you said, you say, oh, that's cool, and you're going to walk away without realizing that you can start a chain of prompts that's going to develop something much deeper than that." — Rob Davis [00:16:38 → 00:16:58] On the Creativity in AI: - "You are creating every prompt you write, no matter how basic or complex it is, are creating something. And I think that that's part of the adrenaline rush for me." — Rob Davis [00:21:01 → 00:21:14] On the Future of Content Creation: - "We don't have to wait. We can do more than we can possibly imagine right now, and it's only going to get better, but we don't have to wait for the next piece. We can revolutionize almost everything that we're doing right now." — Rob Davis [00:22:14 → 00:22:31] On the Changing Nature of Authority in Content: - "The judge of authority is the consumer. So if the content, to your point, is not appealing to the consumer, it's not in their vernacular, it's not something that they feel ready to consume, they're not going to interact with it, and it is not going to get that algorithmic importer of authoritative." — Rob Davis [00:41:08 → 00:41:34] On the Power Shift in Content Creation: - "Because the consumer is now, or the customer…is getting more and more answers from AI, from generative AI. Well, now that puts a little bit more power in the hands of the brands, doesn't it?" — Dan Nestle [00:45:49 → 00:46:09] On the Future of Communication: - "The roles that are going to be created, the tasks that are going to be created are very different. It's going to create a whole bundle of new tasks. Those new tasks will have to be apportioned to somebody which become new jobs also." — Dan Nestle [00:54:27 → 00:54:59]   Resources and Links Dan Nestle The Trending Communicator | Website Daniel Nestle | LinkedIn Dan Nestle | Twitter/X Rob Davis Rob Davis's Website Rob Davis | LinkedIn   Timestamped key moments from this episode (as generated by Fireflies.ai)

Si una máquina maravillosa te concediese un deseo, cualquiera, a cambio de tu propia historia ¿aceptarías el trato? Con The Fabulous Fear Machine , el estudio español Ficitiorama nos invita a ser Maestros de una Máquina con aspecto de Zoltar pero con el enorme potencial de una IA muy evolucionado y singular que te invita a expandir el miedo y el terror en la población mediante la creación y evolución de “leyendas” fundamentadas en teorías conspiranoicas, mitos urbanos e historias terroríficas… Así, Fictiorama nos plantea Un viaje a lo más profundo y oscuro de nuestra mente con un planteamiento narrativo y estratégico y con una estética totalmente anclada al terror retro de Tales Form The Crypt y sus variantes con esencia de cómic. Mucho de lo que hablar con los creadores de Do Not Feed The Monkeys (y que cuenta ya con su segunda parte, 2099). Subimos a la Nabucodonosor a Luís Oliván para reflexionar sobre este videojuego tan especial y la lectura que en nuestros días podemos hacer de estos mundos de temores infundados estratégicamente para manipularnos… Con Don Víctor y Duque de Champagne repasamos los cómics fundacionales de esta estética presente en Fabulous Fear Machine.Escuchar audio

Josh's poorly phrased wish, to the world's most literal Zoltar, means he must live 6 weeks as a 30 year old man. In that time he snakes the position of vice president at a toy company, where he blows minds with a bug that transforms into a robot and gets groomed by the resident sleep-around Susan. Whilst we all loved Big (1988), we couldn't quite come to terms with the... implied relations.Music created by Jack Parsons.Follow us on Twitter & Instagram and check out our YouTube channel. 

Join Mark and Pat on a nostalgia-filled revisiting of the 80s through the early 2000s as they compare and contrast Big (1988) and Freaky Friday (2003). Who else thought they could have Tom Hanks's job testing toys when they grew up? Who still has a Von Dutch hat in the back of their closet? Slide a quarter in Zoltar, then sit back and enjoy the episode!

They also touched upon the directorial and production choices, such as creating the Zoltar machine for the movie. The conversation revealed their different interpretations of the movie, with Kari seeing it as a light-hearted coming-of-age film and Float seeing it as a horror movie. They ended the discussion with plans to continue exploring the movie's themes and implications. Attraction to Trauma: Concerns and Cautions They speculated on the potential reasons why people might be attracted to situations or people that remind them of past traumas. Float expressed his concern about men who seek to work with prepubescent children, noting that his experience has led him to worry for the children's safety. They concluded their discussion with a warning to be cautious of men who want to work with children and acknowledged the naivety of people who assume everyone thinks and acts like them.

They delved into the symbolism of the characters' clothes, the food, and the setting. They also touched upon the controversial love scene between the adult woman and the teenage boy, and how it would be perceived differently in today's society. They concluded by discussing the movie's theme of child abduction and how it was portrayed in a seemingly innocent light. Explicit Content, Dylan Mulvaney, and Air Travel Discomforts They criticized the trend of more explicit content in entertainment, attributing it to the influence of Zionist Jews. The pair also touched on the recent controversy involving Dylan Mulvaney's Budweiser commercial and the challenges of air travel due to height. They debated the appropriateness of reclining seats on airplanes, considering factors such as legroom, comfort, and courtesy to fellow passengers. They expressed dissatisfaction with airlines and their business model, which prioritizes profits over passenger comfort. They suggested that everyone write a letter to the airline to express their discomfort and acknowledge the need to find a solution to make their flights more comfortable. All this and much more...

I could talk about Crybaby bridges here, but instead, ChatGPT wrote a script for a movie about our Slavic Rabbit friend we mentioned in this episode: FADE IN:EXT. EASTERN EUROPEAN FOREST - DAYThe camera pans over a lush forest in Eastern Europe, with birds chirping and trees rustling in the gentle breeze. We hear the sound of bells ringing in the distance. Suddenly, a figure emerges from behind a bush - it's a bunny! But not just any bunny - it's the Eastern European Easter Bunny, named PETR.PETR hops along through the forest, collecting flowers and other goodies along the way. He stops at a clearing, where a group of children are waiting for him with baskets in hand. They all cheer as he approaches.PETR: (in Eastern European accent) Hello, children! Are you ready for Easter?CHILDREN: Yes, Petr! We can't wait for the Easter eggs and candy!PETR: (smiling) Well, you're in luck, my friends. I have been working hard all year to make sure this Easter is the best one yet.The children cheer again as Petr begins to distribute the eggs and candy from his basket. But suddenly, the sound of rustling bushes interrupts the festivities.PETR: (alarmed) What's that?Suddenly, a group of evil rabbits emerge from the bushes, led by the menacing General Zoltar.GENERAL ZOLTAR: (sneering) Well, well, well. Look what we have here. The Easter Bunny and his little friends.PETR: (determined) What do you want, Zoltar?GENERAL ZOLTAR: (chuckling) What do I want? I want what every villain wants - power! And I know that with the Easter Bunny on my side, I can rule the world.PETR: (shocked) I will never join you, Zoltar!GENERAL ZOLTAR: (smirking) We'll see about that.The evil rabbits lunge forward, and a fierce battle ensues. Petr and the children fight bravely, using their baskets as shields and their Easter eggs as weapons. It's a fierce battle, but eventually, Petr and his friends emerge victorious.PETR: (panting) That was close.CHILDREN: (cheering) Yay, Petr! You saved Easter!PETR: (smiling) No, my friends - we saved Easter. Together.The camera pans over the happy children, clutching their baskets of Easter eggs and candy. Petr looks on with a sense of satisfaction, knowing that he has done his job as the Eastern European Easter Bunny.FADE OUT.THE END Check out our socials for more updates!Twitter @MMMacabrePodInstagram: @mondaymorningmacabreFacebook @mondaymorningmacabreWebsite mondaymorningmacabre.comMusic by Kevin MacLeod ~ Moonlight Hall

Sean McElwee, former Data for Progress founding executive director, and former Bernie Sanders aide Ari Rabin-Havt discuss progressive opposition to political prediction markets and when Biden will likely announce his re-election campaign. Pratik, Gaeten, and Zoltar announce Golden Modelo awards for Rookie of the Year and Best Shitposter.

Kalshi is the focus of this episode. In the introduction, Pratik provides a theory on what role Kalshi might have played in the demise of PredictIt and Polymarket.  In part 1, Will Arnesen, head of the markets team at Kalshi, explains the rules in Kalshi's market on the Harvard affirmative action case before the Supreme Court. In part 2, Pratik, Gaeten, and Zoltar continue coverage of the Golden Modelos with discussion on the best market of the year. In the final segment, Ben Rapport denies that Kalshi killed PredictIt. He also tells us about Kalshi's plans to offer more political markets and gives PredictIt users a generous incentive to move their funds to Kalshi.

Michael H., an Ireland-based political gambler, joins the show to discuss Biden's political future and how to trade on it over the next few months. Michael and Pratik agree that Biden is currently underpriced in the markets but differ a bit on the seriousness of the investigation into Biden's handling of classified documents. Zoltar, Gaeten, and Pratik discuss the best and worst trades of 2022.

Happy LLC Day! Zoltar our favorite fortune teller from the movie BIG, will help guide the conversations this week. Starting with some track is back...SHEESH! Then the first fortune to come out of the machine is: NFL predictions; who's moving on??? Next fortune to be told is coaching jobs. With the new coaching limitation, who's going to have the bigger staff? Who's going to be able to have the bigger staff?? Lastly, Zoltar helps navigate the convo of females in the BIG seat...why aren't they hiring more females to occupy roles? Well, tune in to hear what the tiles have to say!

With Biden and McCarthy scheduled to meet to discuss the debt ceiling Zubby Badger returns to the pod to discuss how to trade on the negotiations on Kalshi. William Arnesen of Kalshi's markets team also joins to help explain market deadlines.   In part II, Gaeten and Zoltar discuss why George Santos might be in Congress longer than you'd think.

Happy Hanksgiving, everyone! In our first of two episodes sharing our gratitude for one of Hollywood's most endearing, reliable stars - that would be none other than TOM HANKS, of course - we take a look back at the actor's breakthrough performance in the hit 1988 comedy BIG. Is a romance between an adult woman and a 12-year-old boy in a 30-year-old man's body problematic? Kind of! We also discuss some other less-than-memorable body-switching flicks and what we would have wished for if we encountered a Zoltar machine at age 12. Let's see if BIG still captures our heart and soul (as played on a comically oversized piano).

Zubby, iSavage, Pratik, Zoltar, join Keen make their finaly projections for the 2022 midterm elections. It's ride or die time. 

This show features local Denver comedians in a space where they can say whatever they want, and we are not a success until we have someone lose their job at SNL. This week on the podcast we have two local crushers, Jeff Nelson & Ali Kareem. Opening with Jeff getting outraged, we reminisce on licking CD's and discuss beating people up at the arcade. Evan performs his opening Haiku, White people ruin everything (pumpkins and Jazz), and Dylan explains how parental lies have an expiration date. We decide Mr. Unlimited is inhuman, Ali finally joins the pod and explains how hand sanitizer got in his eyes. Evan reads some inspirational quotes, and it inspires Ali to share some Arabic proverbs. We watch Ali's Heckler video, with him breaking down the interaction, we do a segment of Favorite Conspiracy, & highlight a good dad from Baghdad. Evan reads a few news stories, we watch a politician's adult film, A woman fights eviction with a swarm of bees, and Evan tells an interesting piece of Civil War American history. We fall a bit into a Juice Box rabbit hole, Ali compliments Jeff, Ali tells us a few vail stories (almost beating people up, murder investigations and a literal get out of jail free card). Jeff explains the Zoltar scandal, Evan provides some Kansas City facts written by a garbage comedian, and Jeff explains what it means to get "The Full Nelson Experience". The episode ends with Ali coming up with a podcast idea that Evan did over a year ago, and we do another tenant from the 420 code. Throughout the show, we break down jokes, tell stories from the local scene and discuss all of the important things happening all around the world.

Undeniably, the best of the mini-cycle of body-swap comedies from late eighties, this is the flick that revealed that Tom Hanks was capable of much more than just one-dimensional idiotic comedic roles. His transformation into the floppy walk and wide-eyed enthusiasm of a 13 year old boy is a masterclass in physical acting. It also proved that Penny Marshall was a bonafide blockbuster movie director and not just the tough-talking and boy-crazy Laverne De Fazio on TV's “Laverne & Shirley”. So grab some quarters for the Zoltar machine and make a wish as Tim Williams and guest co-host, Chris McMichen, discuss “Big” from 1988 on this episode of the 80's Flick Flashback Podcast! Here are some additional behind the scenes trivia we were unable to cover in this episode: The scene where Josh and Billy squirt silly string in poses of sneezing, barfing, etc. was not in the original script. It came from the rehearsal when Penny Marshall put Tom Hanks, Jared Rushton, and David Moscow in a studio room full of toys and just let them play together. When they got hold of the string they attempted to out-gross each other and that is how the scene ended up in the movie. Another memorable scene in Big is when Josh and Susan go back to his loft after attending the company party and he coaxes her into trying out his trampoline. In 2013, Perkins admitted that the scene "petrified" her, because the trampoline was situated right next to these huge glass windows (the implication evidently being that she might bounce right off the trampoline, crash through the windows, and fall several flights down to the street). On a side note, in 2019, Perkins told Us magazine that she still has the black cocktail dress that she wore in this scene.

Trump and Hillary are back in the news. Why? Because one is looking likely to catch a charge, and the other is back in the news as a possible presidential candidate. Come to think of it, people have been saying these things about both of them for a while. Get caught up on Trump's legal problems are starting to catch up with him and what Hillary's been saying that's turning in.

Listeners, you won't need a Zoltar machine to wish for the podcast of your dreams. The Last Row has you covered with a super sized episode featuring the 1988 Tom Hanks classic, Big. The guys compare Josh's successes and failures as an adult, and speculate how their 12 year old selves would have handled the situation. Also, a bombshell theory on Josh's boss is uncovered, while Badway attempts his best Robert Loggia impersonation. --- Episode Links: Airy Soho loft featured in ‘Big' sells for $9.75M Subscribe & Follow Us: Spotify Apple Podcasts Google Podcasts Twitter Facebook Instagram YouTube
