Welcome to the only roundtable podcast in compliance as we celebrate our second century of shows. In 2021, Everything Compliance was honored by W3 as a top talk show in podcasting. In this episode, we have the quartet of Jonathan Marks, Jonathan Armstrong and Matt Kelly. In this episode, devote the entire episode to some of our favorite shout outs and rants and mine them for compliance lessons learned. We conclude with more recent news stories for a contemporary Shout Outs and Rants section.
1. Jay Rosen has a series of shout outs and rants. He rants about former VP Dick Cheney who created the conditions for today’s GOP leading to the defeat of his daughter Liz Cheney in her primary; spinless Roger Goodell for his hapless leadership of the NFL and concludes with a shout out to Little Leaguer, Isaiah Jarvis who hugged Kaiden Shelton after being hit in the head by a Shelton pitch. Rosen rants about ESPN stupidly lost the rights to broadcast Bin 10 football.
2. Matt Kelly rants about Harmony Montgomery who died after 2 years of abuse by her father because no one believed her mother that she was in danger. His lesson is that we must listen to whistleblowers. Kelly has a dual shout out and rant. He shouts out to the campaign being run by John Fetterman for Senate in Pennsylvania and rants about the GOP for seeking the unredacted affidavit which support the warrant to search Mar-a-Lago.
3. Jonathan Marks rants about the restaurant Chipotle and how they treat live in-person orders differently from online orders you pick up at a store. He shouts out to USC student Jake Freeman for making $110MM on Bed Bath and Beyond stock and rants about the continued failure to make the departure of a CAE or CCO an 8K event.
4. Tom Fox has a cautionary tale (with a tip of the hat to fellow podcaster Tim Harford) about the importance of good corporate governance in the saga of Blue Bell Ice Cream.
5. Jonathan Armstrong rants about the damage to the image of the legal profession in the UK down by Neil Gerrard during his time at Dechert for their representation of ENRC. He rants about cookie claimants who don’t take the summer off.
