You're listening to the News Grooves podcast.

00:00:08.451 --> 00:00:25.443
I'm Jim Murray.

00:00:25.443 --> 00:00:26.748
Thanks, let's get started.

00:00:27.400 --> 00:00:37.402
A British chef's appeal for thieves to return 2,500 pies that were in a stolen van ended in disappointment Tuesday when police found the vehicle abandoned, with its savoury cargo too damaged to eat.

00:00:37.402 --> 00:00:52.631
Tommy Banks, who owns two Michelin-starred restaurants and a pub in the northern English county of Yorkshire, said a member of staff discovered the van was missing along with its cargo of steak and ale, turkey and butternut squash pies intended for a Christmas market in the city of York.

00:00:52.631 --> 00:00:58.012
The food has been valued at £25,000, $32,000.

00:00:58.012 --> 00:01:03.720
Banks said the van was insured, but he implored the vehicle thieves not to let the food go to waste.

00:01:03.720 --> 00:01:10.852
In an Instagram video, he suggested they do the right thing and drop the pies at a community centre or other venue.

00:01:10.852 --> 00:01:20.251
In an update, banks said police had found the van badly damaged and with stolen licence plates in Middlesbrough, about 30 miles from where it was taken.

00:01:20.251 --> 00:01:25.067
He said the pies were still inside but were damaged and would have to be discarded.

00:01:47.260 --> 00:01:48.688
All original songs are news and grooves 1,600 miles.

No distance ever is too much For love.

00:02:09.691 --> 00:02:11.752
That stands the toughest test.

00:02:11.752 --> 00:02:19.769
Your letters fly like paper birds, their wings that flutter on the breeze.

00:02:19.769 --> 00:02:23.229

00:03:06.030 --> 00:03:25.366
Some may say shadows grow, but in your light I always glow.

00:03:25.366 --> 00:03:26.087
Sixt glow.

00:03:26.087 --> 00:03:34.168
1600 miles can't end the show of love that only seems to grow across the miles.

I feel your touch.

00:03:35.650 --> 00:03:38.935

New York.

00:04:12.936 --> 00:04:19.639
Greg Gumbel, a longtime CBS sportscaster, died from cancer December 27, 2024.

00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:21.641
He was 78.

00:04:21.641 --> 00:04:22.682
He was 78.

00:04:22.682 --> 00:04:32.692
He leaves behind a legacy of love, inspiration and dedication to over 50 extraordinary years in the sports broadcast industry, and his iconic voice will never be forgotten.

00:04:32.692 --> 00:04:45.221
His wife, marcy Gumbel, and daughter Michelle Gumbel said in a statement In March.

00:04:45.221 --> 00:04:48.879
Gumbel missed his first NCAA tournament since 1997 due to what he said at the time were family health issues.

00:04:51.620 --> 00:04:55.720
Gumbel was the studio host for CBS since returning to the network from NBC in 1998.

00:04:55.720 --> 00:05:01.733
Gumbel signed an extension with CBS last year that allowed him to continue hosting college basketball while stepping back from NFL announcing duties.

00:05:01.733 --> 00:05:09.790
A tremendous broadcaster and gifted storyteller, greg led one of the most remarkable and groundbreaking sports broadcasting careers of all time.

00:05:09.790 --> 00:05:21.324
Said Berson Gumbel had two stints at CBS, leaving the network for NBC when it lost football in 1994 and returning when it regained the contract in 1998.

00:05:21.324 --> 00:05:32.709
He hosted CBS coverage of the 1992 and 1994 Winter Olympics and called Major League Baseball games during its four-year run, broadcasting the national pastime.

00:05:32.709 --> 00:05:42.805
In 1995, he hosted the World Figure Skating Championships and the following year hosted NBC's daytime coverage of the Olympic Summer Games in Atlanta.

00:05:42.805 --> 00:05:48.185
But it was football and basketball where he was best known and made his biggest impact.

00:05:48.185 --> 00:05:57.805
Gumbel hosted CBS NFL Studios' show the NFL Today from 1990 to 1993 and again in 2004.

00:05:57.805 --> 00:06:09.622
He also called NFL games as the network's lead play-by-play announcer from 1998 to 2003, including Super Bowl 35 and XXXVIII.

00:06:09.622 --> 00:06:16.254
He returned to the NFL booth in 2005, leaving that role after the 2022 season.

00:06:17.300 --> 00:06:23.625
Like all who knew and loved him, I too am saddened by his death, yet also so very grateful to have known him in my life.

00:06:23.625 --> 00:06:33.043
Clark Kellogg, a CBS Sports, college basketball game and studio analyst, said in a statement what a gift to be touched by such a good man and partner.

00:06:33.043 --> 00:06:44.413
Gumbel, the older brother of sportscaster Bryant Gumbel, grew up in Chicago and graduated from Loras College in Dubuque, iowa, in 1967 with a degree in English.

00:06:44.413 --> 00:06:53.452
He won local Emmy Awards during his long career and was the recipient of the 2007 Pat Summerall Award for Excellence in Sports Broadcasting.

00:06:53.452 --> 00:07:02.482
Outside of his career as a sportscaster, he was affiliated with the March of Dimes for three decades, including as a member of its board of trustees.

00:07:02.482 --> 00:07:24.475
He also was a member of the sports council for St Jude's Children's Research Hospital for 16 years spell, nights, troubles played in the morning.

00:07:24.495 --> 00:07:28.898
Swell shadows linger where sadness fell.

00:07:29.781 --> 00:07:40.761
Cigarettes smoke, a familiar smell restless dreams tangled in my sheets, hollow echoes of yesterday's defeats.

00:07:40.761 --> 00:07:44.708
City whispers secrets from the street.

00:07:44.708 --> 00:07:47.533
Morning light on my hands.

00:07:47.533 --> 00:07:52.110
It greets Morning shadows on my soul they dance.

00:07:52.922 --> 00:08:00.151

00:08:00.151 --> 00:08:02.624
Wipe away the tears.

00:08:02.624 --> 00:08:13.692
Circumstance, luffy's murmur in the radio's hum, bad decisions make my heart feel numb.

00:08:13.692 --> 00:08:24.365
Outside, the world is starting to become A new day where sorrow can succumb Inside my mind.

00:08:24.485 --> 00:08:29.855

00:09:51.489 --> 00:10:03.380
Circumstance, the ultimate list of the greatest 100 films of all time, in no particular order.

00:10:17.086 --> 00:10:26.879
Humphrey Bogart and Catherine Hepburn's Odd Couple Chemistry anchors John Huston's 1951 romantic adventure Based on the 1935 novel by CS Forrester.

00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:32.376
The wonderful combination of Hepburn and Bogie makes this a thoroughly enjoyable blend of comedy and adventure.

00:10:32.376 --> 00:10:40.589
Forrester's story, bogie's Oscar-winning performance, odd Couple Chemistry and an exotic Le Cal combine for classic adventure romance.

00:11:46.687 --> 00:12:01.951
Tommy Banks, who owns two Michelin-starred restaurants and a pub in the northern English county of Yorkshire, said a member of staff discovered the van was missing along with its cargo of steak and ale, turkey and butternut squash pies intended for a Christmas market in the city of York.

00:12:01.951 --> 00:12:07.298
The food has been valued at £25,000, $32,000.

00:12:07.298 --> 00:12:12.995

00:12:52.080 --> 00:13:01.105
Feel the baseline heartbeat, low, eyes closed, swaying to and fro In this room.

00:13:01.105 --> 00:13:02.706
The light's so dim.

00:13:02.706 --> 00:13:06.429
Every beat sinks deep within.

00:13:06.429 --> 00:13:06.490
¶¶.

00:13:06.490 --> 00:13:09.871
In this groove we let it flow.

00:13:09.871 --> 00:13:31.677
Rock and soul all night long In this slow groove.

00:13:31.677 --> 00:13:40.735
Strong Move with me till dawn's first light.

00:13:40.735 --> 00:13:44.620
In this song.

00:13:44.620 --> 00:13:47.653
Lose all the fight.

00:13:47.653 --> 00:13:54.993
Every glance Says a thousand things.

00:13:54.993 --> 00:14:05.956
In this rhythm, hearts take wings, soul meets soul and shadows glow, rocking slow, so sweetly low.

00:14:05.956 --> 00:14:08.408
Life's a melody.

00:14:08.408 --> 00:14:14.479
Play a truth in this dance, just me and you.

00:14:14.479 --> 00:14:16.562
Every step, a tender plea.

00:14:16.562 --> 00:14:20.530
Tonight we love unselfishly.

00:14:20.530 --> 00:14:31.961
Rock and soul all night long In this slow groove.

00:14:31.961 --> 00:14:40.575
Strong Move with me till dawn's first light.

00:14:40.575 --> 00:14:44.660
In this song.

00:14:44.660 --> 00:14:57.592
Lose all the fight.

00:14:57.592 --> 00:15:12.142
Life's a melody.

00:15:12.142 --> 00:15:17.216
Play it true In this dance, just me and you.

00:15:17.216 --> 00:15:20.294
Every step, a tender plea.

00:15:20.294 --> 00:15:25.837
Tonight we love unselfishly.

00:15:32.206 --> 00:15:35.393
Let's take action right now with Rick Rockett's music history.

00:15:35.393 --> 00:15:44.879
Jimny Hendrix Jimny Hendrix, poor Johnny Allen Hendrix, in 1942, was an iconic figure in the realm of rock and roll.

00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:54.139
Hailing from Seattle Washington, he was renowned for his remarkable musicianship and innovative approach to guitar playing.

00:15:54.139 --> 00:15:57.404
His musical journey began at a young age.

00:15:57.404 --> 00:16:03.509
This early passion would later evolve into a career that revolutionized the world of music.

00:16:04.586 --> 00:16:22.711
Hendrix's professional music career took off after moving to England in 1966 under the management of former Animals Bassist Chas Chandler, who helped form the Jimi Hendrix Experience with Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding, formed the Jimi Hendrix Experience with Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding.

00:16:22.711 --> 00:16:28.100
Their debut album, are you Experienced, is considered one of the greatest debuts in the history of rock music.

00:16:28.100 --> 00:16:45.269
He also achieved fame with memorable performances at major festivals like Monterey Pop Festival in 1967, where he famously set his guitar on fire during his performance famously set his guitar on fire during his performance.

00:16:45.269 --> 00:16:51.488
Woodstock 1969, where his rendition of Star Spangled Banner became an unmet moment reflecting turbulent times, and the Isle of White Festival, 1970.

00:16:51.488 --> 00:17:09.535
Despite having only four years of limelight before his untimely death at age 27 in 1970, jimi Hendrix left an undeniable mark on the world of music, known for experimenting with sound effects like distortion and feedback, more extensively than any previous guitarist had done before him.

00:17:09.535 --> 00:17:17.286
He transformed how electric guitar could be played, while inspiring countless musicians across various genres along the way.

00:17:42.060 --> 00:17:50.167
All told, wartime draftees numbered more than 10 million men and the 1940 Act remained in effect until 1947.

00:17:50.167 --> 00:18:12.374
The draft was brought back during the Korean War and, while the number of exemptions and draft evasion cases increased during this time, it would be its use during the United States' involvement in the Vietnam War that would bring about massive social upheaval In a decision that would have far-reaching consequences not just for the Army but for the nation as a whole.

00:18:12.374 --> 00:18:20.941
President Lyndon Johnson resisted the idea of mobilizing reserve units, instead relying on larger draft calls and voluntary enlistments.

00:18:20.941 --> 00:18:27.843
As the conflict in Southeast Asia escalated, many took to burning their draft cards to protest the war.

00:18:27.843 --> 00:18:35.682
Anti-war demonstrations spread across the country, with hundreds of thousands marching in Washington and across the United States.

00:18:35.682 --> 00:18:52.257
Civil rights activist Stokely Carmichael said during a protest in New York City on April 15, 1967, the draft exemplifies as much as racism, the totalitarianism which prevails in this nation in the disguise of consensus democracy.

00:18:52.257 --> 00:19:06.303
One of the defining events of the era were the May 4, 1970, shootings at Kent State University, where four students died after members of the Ohio National Guard opened fire during anti-war protests on the campus.

00:19:07.567 --> 00:19:15.943
Following the signing of the Paris Peace Agreement on January 27, 1973, defense Secretary Melvin R Laird announced.

00:19:15.943 --> 00:19:23.997
I wish to inform you that the armed forces henceforth will depend exclusively on volunteer soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines.

00:19:23.997 --> 00:19:26.583
Use of the draft has ended.

00:19:26.583 --> 00:19:37.301
While this was not the official end of the draft, the Selective Service System remained intact and still required all men starting at 18 years of age to register.

00:19:37.301 --> 00:19:46.942
Eight months after assuming the presidency, president Gerald Ford signed Proclamation 4360 putting an end to Selective Service Registration.

00:19:46.942 --> 00:20:03.176
It's been more than 40 years since the last draft ended and though in 1980 President Jimmy Carter reinstated the requirement for young men to register with the Selective Service System, the conscription of males into military service has never been more than a faint whisper.

00:20:04.380 --> 00:20:14.596
Representative Charles Rangel, democrat New York, a Korean War veteran and vocal critic of the Iraq War, sought to reintroduce the draft as a means of sharing the sacrifice.

00:20:14.596 --> 00:20:24.277
Rangel and others on the left believed that if Americans are once again vulnerable to being drafted, the choice to go to war will not be an inevitable outcome.

00:20:24.277 --> 00:20:32.417
Rangel's bill went nowhere, with Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld declaring we're not going to reimplement a draft.

00:20:32.417 --> 00:20:35.124
There is no need for it at all.

00:20:35.124 --> 00:20:47.512
Secretary of Defense James Mattis offered the following during his Senate confirmation hearings our military is the envy of the world, representing America's awesome determination to defend herself.

00:20:47.512 --> 00:20:52.691
Working with you, I will endeavor to keep our unique all-volunteer force second to none.

00:20:53.912 --> 00:20:56.173
All original songs on news and grooves.

00:21:23.871 --> 00:21:25.191
Streets of Memphis.

00:21:25.191 --> 00:21:33.855
In the pouring rain, footsteps echo in a blue refrain.

00:21:33.855 --> 00:21:46.976
Neon lights flicker shadows on his face Searching for a love.

00:21:46.976 --> 00:21:50.022
He can't replace Whispers of sorrow.

00:21:50.022 --> 00:21:58.667
In a smoky bar, every stranger has a broken scar.

00:21:58.667 --> 00:22:10.645
Time stands still with a lingering gaze, lost in the rhythm of forgotten days.

00:22:10.645 --> 00:22:23.428
Oh, the soul of Memphis calls my name In a city of dreams when no two are the same.

00:22:23.428 --> 00:22:29.423
Feel the pulse of a heartache In every song.

00:22:29.423 --> 00:22:57.724
In the blues of Memphis, where I belong, hammond's well and a cry so deep, soulful chords make the toughest weep Under stars.

00:22:57.724 --> 00:23:02.542
The city's secret keeps In these notes.

00:23:02.542 --> 00:23:04.742
The past shall see.

00:23:04.742 --> 00:23:12.644
Ghosts of legends Haunt the midnight hour.

00:23:12.644 --> 00:23:18.241
In every alley lies A hidden power.

00:23:18.241 --> 00:23:25.229
Songs of sorrow echo through the night.

00:23:25.229 --> 00:23:29.546
Blues of Memphis in the pale moonlight.

00:23:29.546 --> 00:23:43.407
Oh, the soul of Memphis calls my name In a city of dreams where no two are the same.

00:23:43.407 --> 00:23:49.308
Feel the pulse of a heartache in every song.

00:24:12.409 --> 00:24:16.290
In the blues of memories where I belong.

00:24:16.290 --> 00:24:22.284
It looks like we're going to have to get on out of here for this week A powerful, emotional collage today.

00:24:22.284 --> 00:24:23.398
I hope you enjoyed it.

00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:24.643
Never give up.

00:24:24.643 --> 00:24:25.566
We're out of here.
