One thing I like to say about your Heavyweight podcast is that it always inculcates a high vibrational frequency.

I keep waiting for this moment when he says, mom, I get it. I'm sorry.
Jonathan Goldstein
Bigger dreams. He's like, tom Hanks wants to meet with you. This is a real chance. And bigger heartbreaks.
Story Participant
I thought it would be my movie moment and maybe he would even whisper in my ear, I've always been in love with you.
Jonathan Goldstein
We bring you the story of a big budget movie built on a lie. A centenarian who falls head over heels with a love lost 80 years ago.
Story Participant
How can one year old woman fall in love again?
Jonathan Goldstein
And a 14 year old boy who wanted to change his life by robbing a bank. And so I pointed the gun at him and said, this isn't a joke. And he got down. And I remember feeling kind of a surge of like, okay, this is power. Plus, my old friend Gregor is back and he and his brother try to solve my problems through hypnotism.
Podcast Listener/Fan
We could give you a whole brand new thing where you're like super charming all the time.
Jonathan Goldstein
Being more able to look people in.

The eye, not always hide behind a microphone.
Jonathan Goldstein
Starting September 18th, I'll be hiding behind my microphone like a sneaky but well meaning weasel in the bramble when heavyweight returns.
