And it is time for reconcilable differences with Danny and
Jane in the Clinkscale Seamen's household, where never is heard
a discouraging word and the skies are not cloudy all
day and any differences are certainly reconciled quickly and without

(01:02):
any animosity whatsoever. Right now, it is a very busy
sports time, so a lot of the emphasis on this
particular podcast is on a separation of church and state,
which is basically a lot of time for me, spent
upstairs doing the dishes, making my lunch for the next day, whatever,
watching playoff Baseball a lot of times, or it's you know,

(01:24):
a lot of significant football games. I can live without
Pro football for the most part, without except for the
Chiefs because that's kind of work. But anyway, so usually
we watch a lot of things together, and a lot
of times recently it's been a part so I get
updated or I come downstairs for a minute and see
a little bit of things. So that's kind of the

(01:45):
way the world is going right now. We're morphing finally
into some crisp weather. I haven't even switched out my
summer and winter closet setups yet and it's almost November.
But anyway, lots of material from Jane this time around,
with music, movies, personalities of the past and present, all
kinds of good stuff. One thing we did get to

(02:07):
share together a little bit was the finale of another
golf tournament where our favorite Tommy Fleetwood one and we've
got a cool little story about him and his cute son,
Frankie from We'll probably wrap up with that one. But anyway,
lots of things to talk about, lots of funds to
be had, lots of information, a little bit of pathos
as well, and we will talk about it all coming

(02:29):
up on Reconcilable Differences with Danny and Jane. It's part
of Arts and Lifestyle Wednesday, presented by Strategic Partners, Inc.

Investment Advisor member FINRA SIPC. We're here with doctor Brad
Widell from Advanced Sports and Family Chiropractic and Acupuncture. Staying
active and being active is part of a healthy lifestyle
and something to make you happy. But also maintaining the

(04:03):
level of fitness so that you can do it is important.

Speaker 4 (04:05):
We all want to perform better, whether we're ten moving
on to our next level of sports or whether we're
fifty wanting to maintain those sports. Staying in motion is
the key, but that motion isn't just the only part.
If our motion isn't balanced with our muscles, with our
joints and communicating through the nervous system, we are not
staying well. And that's where chiropractic can change your life.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
And you have all kinds of things here at the
clinics to do that.

Speaker 4 (04:32):
Lots of different touches and techniques, so if you're used
to traditional chiropractic, you are going to be amazed at
all the many different touches, techniques, therapies, and state of
the art equipment that helps you perform better.

forward to working with you. Welcome back, and let's start

(05:57):
off with something a little bit well, I said pathos,
and I think that is certainly. Over the last couple
of weeks, Jane has spent a lot of time commiserating, investigating,
and celebrating the life of the late Diane Keaton, who
passed away at the age of seventy nine a couple
of weeks ago. And obviously we're at an age now

(06:22):
we've grown up watching musicians and artists and performers, and
of course we spent a lot of time watching old
movies where people have passed away a long time ago,
so we don't even really think about that part. But
these are people who we grew up with, and Diane
Keaton was one of those. I know she was one
of your favorites, and even over time maybe grew to
be more of a favorite, and even in her passing,

(06:43):
maybe grew to be even more of a favorite.

Speaker 6 (06:46):
Yeah, you know, wow, it was just like everybody, seventy
nine doesn't seem that old anymore, and since she was
our contemporary, that's even harder still. But it wasn't just that.
I think it's been a collective Everyone thought they really
knew her because she was she put herself out there,
and she was so vulnerable and so much has been

(07:07):
talked about all of her fabulous movies. Woody, I guess
said at the best, it's like there's no one ever
going to be like her on the earth again. And
he admitted, you know how much of a difference it
made in his life, in his career just to have
been done those films with her early on when they
were in love. And I know, if you don't like Woody,

(07:29):
it's no fun. But look at his he has. He
has a wonderful written written response to you know, her passing,
and I just you know, she's such a delight even
in her sorrow, she's found a way. I think she
might have been a bit of a lonely person, although
she had kids, which I think is fabulous. Maybe she wasn't,

(07:51):
but I feel that there was a lot of pain there,
but she used it in the best way possible. And
she even in her grief during movies, she made you laugh.
I mean, she was maybe one of the best comedians
ever as far as a female, because you don't feel
like she's a comedian. You're just living her life with her,
you know.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
And Woody Allen, if you want to laugh and see
the funny side of what you of course, has had
a complicated last decade or so in his life, but
his introduction of her for her presentation for a Lifetime
Achievement Award at the American Film Institute is hysterically funny.
It's more like a roast than something else, than just

(08:32):
a heartfelt tribute, and it's really funny. It's worth looking up.
And of course, she not only was somebody who entered
our lives through the back to back astounding films Annie
Hall and Manhattan, but created a fashion style that swept
the country for at least a couple of years. I
had a girlfriend who started wearing Annie Hall clothes and

(08:54):
they looked quite good on her. She probably had a
few extra pounds to cover up, and that was a
I think a real She did a service at another
time when everybody was supposed to be a stick figure
for girls who weren't stick figures and dressed in kind
of a you know, this kind of man's clothes and
it looked cool. And she had obviously issues as far

(09:14):
as bolimia and things like that, and so she was
iconic in so many ways.

Speaker 6 (09:20):
I think she's been I think she's been influencing fashion
her whole life. I mean, I know, I look and
see what she does, and I've been in her honor.
I've been wearing lots of layers. In the last week,
I didn't have a hat on. Maybe I'll put a
hat on now. That's her big signature.

Speaker 2 (09:37):
You look good in a hat.

Speaker 6 (09:38):
By the way, thank you.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
We both have several hats. It's probably about the time
I can start wearing hats again because the hats I
wear when I was young, they looked kind of cool,
I thought. But then when I was in my fifties
or so, if I put a hat on, it made
me look older, so I didn't want to wear a hat.
Now it probably does mad probably were that hat again,

(10:02):
so you might be starting to see me in hats,
and maybe I'll be honoring Diane Keaton. Well, you certainly
have been watching a lot of old films. Generally, we'll
get to a couple of the new things you've been
watching too. But one favorite that I don't have to
watch again that you watched the other day was The
Scarlet Pippernell. And it's a movie from the thirties about

(10:23):
the French aristocracy, lampooned mostly by the magnificent Leslie Howard.
There are so many tag phrases in the particular film,
sit me yes, Frenchy's hair, French, She's there.

Speaker 6 (10:36):
The Frenchies seek him everywhere. He may be in heaven,
he may be in hell. Those Frenchies seek him everywhere.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
Right, It's kind of a cool movie. There was a
spinoff that you watched that didn't have Leslie Howard in it.
That was, I guess somewhat interested. But would I would
just seek out The Scarlet Pippernew It's it's a delightfully
kind of silly movie, but it has actually a great
point to it too. But Leslie Howard's just a treat
And from the Petrified Forest to the Scarlet Peppernel to

(11:06):
many other things where he plays trouble gone with the wind.
Obviously he plays the troubled and moon eyed love interest
name many times. So he's just a cool guy and
everybody liked him off the screen.

Speaker 6 (11:21):
Yes, yes, so that's one.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
And speaking of people who grace the screen but maybe
didn't have such a great time of it off the screen,
you watched more than one movie with the extra beautiful
Gene Tierney in them.

Speaker 6 (11:35):
Oh my god. Yeah, Wow, she's just I've seen Laura
in the past. That's one of my favorite movies. It's
just such a great unveiling. If you've never seen it,
the best is the first time you see it, because
you know nothing, and it really is an amazing is
amazing film. She's just stunning looking and she's so subtle.
She's really a fabulous screen actress. And then the other

(11:56):
one I saw was that what was it called, can't
the name, but it was you know, when she was
being you know, type against her right personality of being
this terrible woman. And most people really like that film.
And if you haven't ever watched her before, she's just

(12:17):
she's she's really worth it. But I guess behind the scenes,
she had some real She was one of the early
adopters of going to therapy, but then they did some
bad stuff like shock therapy and things that were not good,
and she wrote a book about it.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
So it's gene Tyranny and it's spelled like the man's name,
and laure is their most famous film. That's a film noir,
Dan Andrews at his best, and that's really a cool film.
So she's somebody to And guys, if you're out there
and you just want to look at a beautiful lady
from the past, oh my god, it's certainly it. But

(12:52):
because you've been watching several movies and several of them
have this particular designer involved, that them might a little
research which I didn't really have to do. About the
unbelievable career of Edith Head, the costume designer who was
nominated for thirty eight Academy Awards in her career and

(13:13):
won eight times over a span of about twenty five years.
She actually lost her first one and then won four
in a row, and then she only won three out
of her last thirty or so. Basically, she was nominated
almost every year for a while and just was like

(13:33):
and she was a kind of a funny looking woman
who wear odd glasses but designed clothes for many of
the most magnificent men and women in the cinema. What
an incredible career. What's another interesting note about her. Her
name is Edith had That's her married name of her

(13:53):
first husband, who she was only married to for a
few years, but she kept his name even though she
remarried to a man that she stayed married for a
long time until he died.

Speaker 6 (14:01):
Interest especially interesting during that era, and what if you
go back. I can't remember exactly the details, but it's
like she fell into this thing. It wasn't like she
had studied. She studied on the job, basically, and she
was just had a knack for this and learned on
the job and became the best ever. And you name
the movie, she's done it.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
And they used to have costume design separate categories for
color in black and white, and there were several years
where she was nominated for both. And among the movies
that she I mean, there's too many even to but
all about Eve, A Place in the Sun, Greatest Show
on Earth, Proud in the Profane, Ten Commandments, the man
who shot liberty balance. I mean, that's a Western. She

(14:43):
could clearly do anything. And her last win was for
the Sting.

Speaker 6 (14:49):
So amazing.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
What a history, all kinds of different periods. So the
Grand Edith Head and I think she became Dame Edith,
and I do believe that, Oh really, I think so.
I think so. Maybe I'm wrong on that one, but
she could have been. She was a dame no matter what. Yes,
a tame in everybody's mind, but certainly a brand new
documentary film that just came out is Jane watched last night.

(15:15):
I was watching the seventh game of the Mariners in
Blue Jays and rooted harsh for the Mariners and they
did not come through a sad state. Although I liked
George Springer, who had a three run homer to win
for the for the Blue Jays. Nobody cares about that.
Who listens to this podcast probably that much. But anyway,
Jane was downstairs watching I Like Me, a twenty twenty

(15:37):
five documentary about the late great John Candy. It was
directed by Colin Hanks, the son of Tom Hanks, who
was significantly portrayed in this film. And there's all kinds
of huge stars in this film. Was produced by Ryan Reynolds,
who is also Canadian, and talks about the complicated genius

(15:59):
of a man that everybody really loved and died very young.

Speaker 6 (16:03):
Yeah, and what's really interesting, especially at the beginning, is
you go way back when he and Bill Murray, Bill
talked about this. He was very honest about it all
it's like and he was so good lucky when he
was young. Bill. You see old outtakes of them when
they were trying to do improv and they never didn't
even know what it was. And so he said, he
and John you got their act together on stage because

(16:25):
they were just weren't as good as some of the
other really famous people like Martin Short, you know, and
so all these famous famous Catherine O'Hara, you know, people
that had worked with him back before. None of them
were famous. It was sort of John was the one
that pulled them all in and helped them get to
where they were. He was actually the first that was asked.

(16:47):
Steven Spielberg asked him to come do a part in
nineteen forty one, is what it was. I never saw
that movie.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
Well, he's lucky that he didn't actually play in it,
because it was one of the biggest of all time.

Speaker 6 (17:01):
Well, he didn't love it, but that led to all
those other amazing like stripes, you know, and eventually planes,
trains and automobiles, and you know, his wife was on,
his kids were on. I noticed, I didn't know his
brother wasn't on. I don't know if he could handle
it unless he's passed away. Also, I bet he just
couldn't handle the or didn't want to be on screen,

(17:21):
which I thought was interesting. I mean, John led a
very complicated life. His dad died when he was thirty five.
That's that's a big five. I'm sorry. When his dad
was thirty five of a heart attack. So John always
had this in his mind that he wasn't gonna last
very long, which I find really unfortunate. But that was
a child skewed, you know, really really the grief really

(17:45):
affected him when he was young. My mom's dad died
when she was six years old. I get this. I
totally get all this. What a loving man, what a
caring person. People like mcaulay Culkin said, the guy saved
him while he was having this terribly abusive relationship with
his dad. His own dad was doing this. John was
the one that was saying how are you doing? John

(18:07):
was like, look at people riding the eyes and really
really connected with people on a personal level. Just such
a loving guy and so funny. I just you can't
get enough of him. He's never tiring. There's never any
I mean, there's never a moment that anyone ever tires him.
They just can't wait to work with him.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
Well, one of the only scenes I saw was when
it came down and Tom Hanks was on and he
was talking about how in Splash, which is the first
time they worked together, which made him a big star,
made John Candy big star, made to Hanks so a
bigger star that he didn't know at first that John
Candy was teaching him improv basically that he was opening

(18:48):
up scenes to let him react, walk in and react.
And it took Tom Hanks a while to realize that
he was being given this incredible gift by John Candy. So,
I mean, the list of people who or in the
film or you know, from Dan Ackroyd mel Brooks, Tom Hanks,
Eugene Levy, Steve Martin, Bill Murray, Dick Cabott, Well, Dick

(19:08):
Cavott obviously by posthumously Harold.

Speaker 6 (19:13):
He's alive, is Dickvit still dear.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
Oh gee, I thought I just killed off Dick Kavit.

Speaker 6 (19:17):
No, he's but he's older.

Speaker 2 (19:21):
And of course Harold Ramis is I'm sure certainly.

Speaker 6 (19:23):
Yes he is gone, and he was so good in this.
Dan Ackroyd, I mean he can't like they can't even
talk about it still. That's what was interesting. Everyone who
spoke said, I'm gonna cry. I can't do this right,
because that is how much that that. Catherine o' harris said,
I dream more about John Candy dying than I did

(19:44):
about my parents, and he's still in my brain right.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
It's I will say this, Harold Ramis eventually became a
fine director, but it was one of his co stars
and Stripes. It's a very uneven film at the end,
but the first the first hour of Stripes is probably
the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life. I
will say, I'll stack that up for pure laughs. And
Bill Murray is at his absolute best in that, and

(20:09):
so is John Candy. And what's amazing.

Speaker 6 (20:12):
What's amazing is also John's business acumen and then getting
involved in you know, owning you know this, you know,
famous Canadian team, you know and all these sports figures,
like a famous sports figure. I'm not going to tell
it all, but they fell in love with him too.
Everybody falls in love with them.

Speaker 2 (20:30):
So that is brand new. I think it's Amazon Prime
which has it now, but it's I like me, and
it's a brand new documentary. And we don't talk about
brand new things that often. So there you go, there,
there we go. There's one right there. As we continue

Speaker 2 (23:42):
Welcome back. The usual setup here is Willie can do
anything he wants, our one beautiful Corgie, and Charlie is upstairs.
Willy's in the hall, so don't worry, dear. He's in
the hallway outside Jane's office, which is where we generally
tape this. And Charlie's upstate because he is too rambunctious.

(24:02):
And thankfully he still is rambunctious, and we've had a
recent medical check up with him, a little a little
change in his medication, but he's still doing well, and
we cross our fingers that we have our little monster
around for quite a few more years, or at least
a few more years. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (24:20):
Yeah, he's got some issues. He's got congestive heart failure
because he's enough to ventricle is enlarged and it keeps
getting larger. You know, that's never good. So lots of diuretics,
lots of taking amount to the bath.

Speaker 2 (24:33):
He certainly is an empic peer these days, but he's
you know, he's gotten very good about He generally does
not soil the house anymore in general. But no, no, no,
but then he'll tell us more. But sometimes I'm actually
amazed that I said. He must have just peeded half
his body weight.

Speaker 6 (24:52):
I know, I know, it's unbelievable.

Speaker 2 (24:54):
It's unbelievable. And he can drink like a whole bowl
of water in one setting. Then you can tell that
he obviously his malady is because he has a little
cough after that. But so cross your fingers, do whatever
you like to. You know, I'm not a prayer for
a person, but that's your thing. Go right ahead. I'll
accept prayers for Charlie magnanimously. Yes, no question about that.

Speaker 3 (25:16):
Well.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
Something else new the newest season of The Diplomat, season three.
I think it is debuted. Actually it just came out.
I mean it was debuted on October sixteenth. So I
have seen one or two of these before. I have
not seen one recently. This is another playoff time indulgence

(25:37):
for Jane. So catch us up on The Diplomat and
what you like about it and why you like it.

Speaker 6 (25:42):
Oh my god, this may be. In fact, there was
something written up that maybe the best ever you know, suspense,
you know short whatever they call him, you know whatever.
These are series on Netflix. Guys, you got to watch this.
It's just the tension between the person it's supposed to be.

(26:02):
You know, all these tough asses, you know, working for
the government, yet their their personal lives are all inskewed.
I mean it is a bit soap operish, but in
a very sleek and an amazingly well acted The actors
are fantastic, the directing is fantastic, worth every second and attention.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
Carrie Russell is the star of it. It was the
series was created by Deborah Khan, so a female lead
production and all kinds of awards in just the first
couple of years and it's been Outstanding Drama Series nominated,
won a couple of Golden Globes. Carrie Russell's been done
a great job in it, and I always admire actresses

(26:47):
who don't quite care that much about how they look
on screen, and she's kind of like that.

Speaker 6 (26:55):
It's really great. Rufe Sewell is fantastic.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
There, you know.

Speaker 6 (27:02):
I love she plays sort of against type because I
forget the name of her first character that came out
which made her famous, but she was very demure. What
she kind of looks like. This is not like she
completely comes out in a different personality in this show,
which I think she's really enjoying it because it goes
against her type. I think, I think I could be wrong.

Speaker 2 (27:23):
So she's a tough ass that continues to go on.
She's was started out as the ambassador of the UK
and later on, of course, is elevated in status by
various permutations of her personal life. So looks great. I
always enjoy it when I do see it. There's no
playoff baseball till Friday, snow football tonight, so maybe maybe

(27:43):
you'll be watching yourself.

Speaker 6 (27:45):
You have to force yourself not to watch the entire
series in one evening, that's how good it is.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
Well, I can't watch tonight because the only one for
this year has just come out, so we won't be
continuing that for a little while anyway. But that's the
diplomat and it caught James, you know, when when the
guy across the street, our handyman friend Ken and us
are in you know, and he's raving about something he did.

(28:11):
Ken's you know, we're not the same. Get and I
are different kind of people. We're great friends. But was
like he's he really likes and I'm like, oh okay, yeah,
and so I'm like, well, I guess I'll watch it,
you know, And he's right. It's a great show. So
there you go. And uh, Jane sent me something the

(28:31):
other day of a different type. The you can pronounce
his name properly for us, the International Clarinet Virtuo. So
Martin Frost Frost, It's Frost, It's spelled Frost. But anyway,
it was him playing a clarinet piece while doing a

(28:52):
dance at the same time. And this guy is now
super famous and plays all over the world with all
the orchestras in the world, is in his early fifties
and has taken the clarinet to slightly a different place.

Speaker 6 (29:06):
Oh yeah, he can play all of the classics. I
was a clarinetist, so I'm like, this is somebody special.
I mean, anyone should watch him. He can play any genre.
In that particular concert clip he saw he'd just done
the Mozart Clarinetic Concerto and then he went on and
played some Herbie Hancock, I think, Jeff, I'm sorry to Korea.
That's right. Oh my god, I mean unbelievable. He can

(29:29):
do slides. It's he has completely re energized the clarinet internationally.
Everybody's loving it. He won this fabulous Geneva competition best
clarinetist in the world. I mean, there you go.

Speaker 2 (29:47):
Yep, he's done just about everything. And pronounce his name again.
So people Martin, and there is a Mars, and there
is a Martin Frost and Wikipedia who is not him too,
So make sure you look up that far boomble out.
I don't know who Martin Frost is and I.

Speaker 6 (30:02):
Don't really care to talk about it, yes.

Speaker 2 (30:04):
But anyway, And I had the pleasure last week of
speaking to a runners group that gets together. They think
they call it the Doctor Pepper Coffee or something like that.
Through a new friend, I've made Bob Cook, longtime runner,
and all this whole group is long longtime runners. I
did a Kansas City profile last week on a man

(30:27):
named Steve Fuller who's run now three hundred and seven marathons.
All these guys have ridiculous accomplishments. Gary Gribble is in
the group, the store owner who sold his great line
of a footwear and sportswear stores a few years ago
and now happily enjoying retirement. There's another man in the
group who has an arts group that he runs and

(30:50):
eventually Jane is going to perform at that. Well, they're
important enough that this is December of twenty twenty six
is when youre we go, but you're booking at So
I really had an amazing time talking to these fellas.
They bought a bunch of my original book, and I'm
slowly but surely working through the sequel that I'm writing
for the new one. Very exciting, but incredible, incredible group

(31:13):
of people. One guy almost had a running streak as
long as mine seventeen years, so I actually had the
longest one in the group, and that was kind of
why I was brought along to talk about that, just
so I can the humble brag again. Seven to one
to three to one. That's seventy one thirty one consecutive days,
stupidly ruining my knee along the way. But anyway, it

(31:36):
was really really fun. These were a great group of guys,
and they were an absolute advertisement for running. Most of
them don't run anymore. Steve Fuller is seventy seven years old.
He ran the Kansas City Marathon the other day. He's
run a marathon in every continent and every state in
the Union. But they all look fabulous they're all most

(31:59):
of them are in their seventy summer, in their eighties,
and they look great. They looks so healthy you can
delay like, well, these guys all look like runners, and
most of them exercise now but don't run. So it
was really cool. So I can't thank Bob Cook and
his group enough for having me out. And to conclude,
let's do a little smiles across the way. As we
mentioned the other day, we only watched Jane, only watch

(32:22):
the end. It was another situation where I was upstairs
watching the Indian Open golf tournament. Ordinarily that wouldn't be much,
but many, many of the top players on both Ryder
Cup teams played and it was a great field where
McElroy was there and Victor Hovland and three guys from
the US Ryder Cup team. So it was a great

(32:44):
field and own, our own, our own favorite Tommy Fleetwood
won and of course he finally broke the seal in
the United States. This was his eighth win on the
DP World Tour. It propelled him to the top five
in the world. He's now the fourth ranked player in
the world. He just seems like a wonderful guy in

(33:05):
the highlight and his inspiration for this tournament was before
his son Frankie, who I think is eight now, right
before he left for the tournament. Frankie was going to
go to India with him, and he did and he said,
you know what, Dad, you know what you've never done,
You never won a tournament, so that I can run
out on the eighteenth greene and give you a hug.

(33:28):
And so Tommy wrote a little card to himself and
he carried it around in his pocket the whole time,
and he won the tournament and little Frankie came running
out and gave him a big hug.

Speaker 6 (33:38):
So so beautiful. He's such a cutie. Yeah, Tommy's great,
fabulous English player, just very self effacing, which is not
typical of a lot of the top golfers these days
that are on the live tour. So it was very
exciting to see.

Speaker 2 (33:56):
And if you want to have a good smile, if
you google it sometimes it will be shown as the
greatest interview ever. I think it was last year's Masters.
Frankie may maybe next year he'll clear the water. But anyway,
they have the par three contest and a lot of
times the kids go up there and putt and everything well,
Frankie insisted that he wanted to try to hit the
ball over the on one of the par threes over

(34:17):
the pond. These holes are fairly short for adults, but
they're still like ninety two one hundred and twenty yards
and Frankie could only deposit his beautiful swing, but he
can only hit the ball about sixty yards, so it went.
He tried about three times. It went in the pond
every time, and afterwards they interviewed him and it was
so cute. He's got the lovely British accent. I'm trying

(34:39):
so hard to make the green and it didn't happen
this year, but I'm just trying my hardest.

Speaker 4 (34:45):
I know.

Speaker 6 (34:45):
He sounds just like a PGA professional.

Speaker 2 (34:49):
It almost brings a little tear to your eye. And
the announcer is say, you'll do it, Frankie, you'll make
it next time, and Shane Lowry and Rory McElroy are
there and they're having a big laugh. So seek that
out and find it. It'll give you some smiles and
maybe make you a Tommy Fleetwood fan, just like we are,
right dear fabulous. That's one of the things we don't

(35:10):
have any differences about on reconcilable differences with Danny and Jane.
It's Arts and Lifestyle Wednesday, presented by Strategic Partners, Inc.
