Halftime

Too Broke for Therapy, Hörbuch, Digital, 47min, (USK 18)

Originally from Memphis, TN, Nick Cobb had an obsession with meaningless nonsense that set the stage for him to embark on a whirlwind comedy career. While studying psychology at Indiana University, Cobb took on a job at the aptly named comedy club The Looney Bin. However, it wasn't until he won his first stand-up competition at a random Beale Street bar that he was bitten by the comedy bug and jumped at the chance to make the move to New York to chase his dream. While in New York, Cobb was featured on Comedy Central's Live at Gotham, VH1's Morning Buzz, MTV's FN MTV, AXS' Gotham Comedy Live, and AMC's Date Night. As a semifinalist on NBC's Last Comic Standing, Cobb was featured in a montage of comics recognized for having highly original material. Touching on everything from the world's small daily annoyances to grander feelings about one's ever-changing position in life, Cobb lulls his audience into his routine like a friend telling a casual story over beer and card games, only friendlier, funnier, and with no inhibitions. Now living in Los Angeles, Nick had his late-night debut on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, recently costarred in an episode of Inside Amy Schumer, starred in Funny or Die's three-part series Disney Couple's Therapy, and won the March Madness Competition at the Hollywood Improv. He also played the lead in a comedic web series for ESPN.com called Team Players and has been featured in commercials for Intel, CarMax, and Pepsi Max as well as an e*Trade spot during halftime of the Super Bowl. Influenced by fellow comedians Brian Regan, Jessica Kirson, Bill Burr, and Maria Bamford, Cobb continues to make strides in his career. When not performing stand-up, Nick is brooding over that one guy in the crowd who was texting during his act. Language: English. Narrator: Nick Cobb.

Born to Run , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1092min

Winner of the 2018 Audie Award for Autobiography/Memoir"Writing about yourself is a funny business.... But in a project like this, the writer has made one promise: to show the reader his mind. In these pages, I've tried to do this." (Bruce Springsteen, from the audio of Born to Run) In 2009, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band performed at the Super Bowl's halftime show. The experience was so exhilarating that Bruce decided to write about it. That's how this extraordinary autobiography began. Over the past seven years, Bruce Springsteen has privately devoted himself to writing the story of his life, bringing to this audio the same honesty, humor, and originality found in his songs. He describes growing up Catholic in Freehold, New Jersey, amid the poetry, danger, and darkness that fueled his imagination, leading up to the moment he refers to as "The Big Bang": seeing Elvis Presley's debut on The Ed Sullivan Show. He vividly recounts his relentless drive to become a musician, his early days as a bar-band king in Asbury Park, and the rise of the E Street Band. With disarming candor, he also tells for the first time the story of the personal struggles that inspired his best work and shows us why the song "Born to Run" reveals more than we previously realized. Born to Run will be revelatory for anyone who has ever enjoyed Bruce Springsteen, but this book is much more than a legendary rock star's memoir. This is a book for workers and dreamers, parents and children, lovers and loners, artists, freaks, or anyone who has ever wanted to be baptized in the holy river of rock and roll. Rarely has a performer told his own story with such force and sweep. Like many of his songs ("Thunder Road", "Badlands", "Darkness on the Edge of Town", "The River", "Born in the U.S.A.", "The Rising", and "The Ghost of Tom Joad", to name just a few), Bruce Springsteen's autobiography is written with the lyricism of a ungekürzt.

Make Enterprise Great Again: The Gods Must Be Crazy!: Cradle of Communism to Catacomb of Capitalism: A Proposal to Bring Back the House of Roosevelt's , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 174min

This book will blow away your preconceptions of the almighty American Empire and its enterprises. I guarantee it!This book takes its title from the 1980 comedy film The Gods Must Be Crazy, in which an empty Coca-Cola bottle is dropped from a plane onto a community of African bushmen. The bottle is thought to be a gift from the Gods, but after it incites bitter fighting amongst the villagers, the tribal leader decides to return it to the Gods, embarking upon a journey to the end of the world. Through my own metaphorical coke bottle, I visualize the dawn of a daunting new Empire. This book serves as both a testament to the past glories of the current American Empire and a guidebook to restoring Capitalism and Enterprise – before it is too late.Steve Hilton: ”A lot of people say that China wants to replace the US as the superpower.... Do you believe that that's their intention?"Trump: "Yes, I do. Why wouldn't it be? They're very ambitious people. They're very smart. They're great people. It's a great culture."(Fox News interview, 05-19-19)It’s halftime America! Ay Yi Yai Yi! We are in the middle of The New World Order!Empires rise, decline, and fall. History has witnessed this cycle with the Romans, the Ottomans, and the British. They have all toppled, and if we are not careful, the US will be the next.Many of today’s enterprises are a gaggle of debt-addicted extreme financial engineering frogs floundering in tepid snake oil. Unfortunately, many will find their demise in the clutches of IP vultures.If we don't play our trump cards right, the next voracious Empire - the Middle Kingdom of China - will consume us; sending their errand boys to collect bills from the US and over a hundred other countries that it has economically and digitally colonized since the Economic Tsunami of 2008, through “Belt and Road Initiative” (BRI) to its “Digital Silk Road” (DSR). ungekürzt.
