Guests: The living inductees from the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame's Class of 2026 - Devon White, Stubby Clapp, Kate Psota, Bill Stoneman and Paul Runge, plus former Blue Jays centrefielder Lloyd Moseby and former Baseball Canada pitcher Steve Green and outfielder Jeremy Ware In this special bonus episode of Deep Left Field, we take you to St. Marys, Ontario, for the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame's induction weekend. We present a live recording of the annual pre-induction banquet, an intimate and informal discussion with all the inductees the night before the main event. You'll hear from the greatest centre-fielder in Blue Jays history, Devon White, accompanied by his predecessor at the position, Lloyd Moseby. Baseball Canada icon Stubby Clapp is joined by his ex-teammates Steve Green and Jeremy Ware. Arguably the greatest female player this country has ever produced, Kate Psota, joins us, and the evening wraps up with Bill Stoneman, who threw two no-hitters for the Montreal Expos, and Paul Runge, a 25-year National League umpire who brought the house down with a couple of great stories.

In this episode, Neil Cowmeadow tackles the universal entrepreneurial struggle of procrastination and displacement activity, the human tendency to do absolutely anything to avoid the most critical, needle-moving tasks in your business.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Acknowledge the "Inner Moron": We all possess a subconscious inner voice designed to keep us safe from risk. Unfortunately, this mechanism often paralyzes us and prevents us from executing important, life-altering tasks. Beware of Displacement Activities: Learn to recognize when you are completing trivial, seemingly productive tasks like cleaning or organizing the shed solely to justify avoiding the most vital item on your to-do list. The Power of Pen and Paper: Writing things down longhand engages your brain much more effectively than typing on a keyboard and screen, making it a necessary step for working through mental blocks and visualizing outcomes. Visualize the Positive Compound Effect: To find motivation, take the time to map out the long-term, compounding benefits of completing your most important task over the coming years. Confront the Negative Consequences: Force yourself to face the harsh reality of neglecting your responsibilities. Understanding the compounding negative effects, the "banquet of consequences" can provide the urgent push you need to take immediate action. BEST MOMENTS "Every single one of us has what I call an inner moron whose job it is to keep us safe. And it also means preventing us from doing anything involving risk or change." "To humans, change is risky. It's dangerous because it's a step into the unknown. And your inner moron... ain't gonna like it." "Most of us will come up with some sort of displacement activity... a whole bunch of justifications as to why it's entirely sane and rational to do just about anything rather than finally sit down and take care of the one thing that matters most." "Writing longhand activates more of your tiny pea-sized brain than a keyboard and screen does." "Remember that each one of us will sit down to a banquet of consequences. So what kind of banquet do you want to have?"

Mark your calendars for August 1st! The 6th Annual Sportsman Banquet, hosted by the Omar Shriners, is returning to the Omar Shrine Center at Patriots Point in Mount Pleasant, SC. Host Brian Cleary sits down with Treasurer Kenny Skipper and Recorder Jim Gates to preview an all-inclusive night of premier dining, an open bar, and high-energy fun featuring live and silent auctions, games, and a 50/50 drawing. The prize lineup is staggering—ranging from high-end hunting trips and guided fishing tours to a fully prepared Beaufort Stew dinner for 20, and even a raffle for a live Boykin Spaniel puppy! But this event is about much more than great prizes. Instantly recognizable by their iconic red "fez" hats, the Omar Shriners are bound by a deep commitment to philanthropy. For members like Jim, the mission is intensely personal; his own daughter successfully underwent four eye surgeries starting at a very young age, making his service a profound way to pay his blessings forward. Proceeds from the banquet directly fuel the operational costs that empower the Shriners' legendary, cost-free medical care for children.

In this Pride month-themed episode, Lee, Daniel, Gary Hill, and the returning Lady Leah (!), talk about the tragic Chinese epic "Farewell My Concubine" (1993), directed by Kaige Chen. The hosts try their best to talk about the themes of abuse, sex, and gender (and a bit of regular politics) revolving around a half-a-century-spanning historical drama from a culture they have very little knowledge of. The conversation felt fruitful enough to share, as much of the themes present, even if presented in a context they don't fully understand, are still quite universal. The hosts also talk about what they've watched as of late (and in some cases read!?!). We invite you to come train for our version of the Peking Opera, now with 100% less abuse!

Excuses, excuses: The Parable of the Banquet St. Luke 14:16-24 & Deuteronomy 20:1-9 by The Rev'd Dr. Matthew Colvin I am often asked about “application” in sermons. “I enjoy a good sermon,” someone will say, “but I need to have application so I know what to do with it.” Well, you will notice that neither Fr. Bill nor I, his understudy, do very much with “application.” The pulpit is not the place to give you “ten steps to a better marriage” or “key principles of childrearing” or “the blueprints to build a Christian business.” Rather, we are concerned with the Biblical story, and we want to apply you to it, so that you read the Bible as your story. When Paul says, “These things happened as examples for us, upon whom the ends of the ages have come,” he means that to follow Jesus, we need to understand ourselves as being part of the story of the people of God. That is why Hebrews 11 gives us the “hall of faith”; it is why Stephen's sermon in Acts 7 sums up the entire history of Israel; it is why, when Peter is telling Christian wives to respect their husbands, he calls them “daughters of Sarah.” We are consistently told to inscribe ourselves into the story of God's people Israel. There is nothing more practical. Indeed, if we do not get this right, no amount of “application” will work. Our lectionary for this morning pairs Deuteronomy's laws about exemption from military service with Jesus' parable of the banquet and the excuses made by those who were invited. It is, if we think about it, a very odd transposition, rather as though military language had found its way into a wedding or some similar occasion: “WILT thou have this Woman to thy wedded wife, to live together after God's ordinance in the holy estate of Matrimony? Wilt thou love her, comfort her, honour, and keep her in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all others, keep thee only unto her, so long as ye both shall live?” “Yes, sir, corporal, SIR. Hoo-ah!” So what is going on here? To understand the parable, we need to think about the nature of banquets and the nature of the excuses. Let's start with the excuses. Verse 20's excuse, “I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come” is an allusion to Deuteronomy 24:5. That passage gives the grounds for the exemption of any newly married bridegroom from military service for a year: “that he may bring happiness to his wife whom he has taken.” There is here something of the logic of the law against boiling a kid in its mother's milk: in both cases, one must not mix up life and death, joy and sorrow. In verse 18, we should understand “I have bought a field and must go out and see it” to mean that the transaction needs to be complete. It is the “closing” of a real estate purchase, not an inspection at leisure that could just as easily be postponed for another day. Legally, socially, this is a very good excuse. Verse 19's excuse about needing to test “five yoke of oxen” recalls the calling of Elisha by Elijah in 1 Kings 19:19. There, Elisha is actually in the middle of plowing when Elijah throws his mantle over him: “Tag, you're it!” This is an act of sudden investiture. Elisha responds to it with alacrity: “he left the oxen and ran after Elijah” and said, “Please let me kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow you.” The excuses are such powerful ones that they actually have statutory warrant in Biblical law. Legally, socially, by all the etiquette of ancient Israel, these excuses are golden, unimpeachable, valid. But in the parable, they are not good excuses in the eyes of the host. Who is he? He is introduced as ἄνθρωπός τις, “a certain man.” Immediately, we recall other parables: “A certain man planted a vineyard, leased it to vinedressers, and went in a far country for a long time.” (Mt 21:33) “A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it, and found none.” (Lk. 13:6) “A certain man had two sons.” (Lk. 15:11) “A certain rich man had a steward, and an accusation was brought to him that this man was wasting his goods.” (Lk. 16:1) There are other instances where “a certain man” is someone else, but this is a pretty good sample of instances where “a certain man” is instantly known to stand for God. The parable, then, shows us God's response to the excuse-makers. Note that the “certain man” operates through servants. God is frequently depicted this way, sending his angels and human prophets to do his bidding and deliver his messages. God's reaction to the refusal of his invitations is anger (ὀργισθείς). This requires some explanation. In Matthew's gospel, the banquet is a wedding feast for a king's son, and the invited guests behave much like the wicked vinedressers: they “lay hold of his servants and treat them violently and kill them.” But Luke's version has a different emphasis. It is less allegorized and is designed rather to highlight the reversal of fortune and the approaching deadline. “Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the city and bring here the poor and crippled and blind and lame.” — all of them likely to be beggars, likely to smell bad, likely to be shabbily dressed. Precisely the sort of unsightly people one does not want at a banquet, any sort of banquet. They would never have been invited had not the originally invited guests refused. Just as Esau rejected his birthright and Jacob received it; just as the majority of the Jews rejected the Messiah so that the gospel might be preached to the gentiles, so here, as Paul puts it in 1 Corinthians 1:28, “God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no flesh might boast in the presence of God.” This is someting God did in history. Unlike every other religion on earth, the Bible makes public claims about events that took place at particular times: “In the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against the fortified cities of Judah and took them.” “In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. This was the first registration when Quirinius was governor of Syria.” Or even in our Nicene Creed, where week after week, we make mention of the name of a corrupt Roman official named Pontius Pilate. Contrast the claims of other religions: that Mohammad was out there in the desert and an angel appeared to him and dictated the Quran. That Joseph Smith was guided by an angel named Moroni and found gold plates inscribed with “Reformed Hieroglyphics” which he translated into King James English. That Siddartha Gautama was meditating under a fig tree and became enlightened. The Mary Baker Eddy or L. Ron Hubbard or some other guru has discovered the secrets of the universe. Even in antiquity, the Stoic sage or Epicurus or the philosopher in Plato's Republic is never about history. It is always private revelation or special understanding of timeless truths or the realm of forms or deep insight into nature. By contrast, the assumption of Jesus' parables is that God deals with Israel in time. The invitation to the banquet and the host's angry reaction to the invited guests refusal, and the verdict at the end of the story that “none of those men who were invited shall taste my banquet” — all presuppose that Israel is facing a decisive crisis in its history. The invitation to the banquet is the gospel summons to follow the Messiah — and this is appropriate, since Jesus is so frequently shown feasting during his earthly ministry. He feasts so much that he incurs the charge of being a glutton and a winebibber. Everywhere he goes, he feasts. He feasts in the house of the Pharisee named Simon; in the house of a tax collector named Zacchaeus; at a wedding at Cana; in company with immoral women, and with “tax collectors and sinners.” This was unusual even by Jewish standards, so that some come to Jesus and ask him, “The Pharisees and the disciples of John fast a lot, but your disciples do not fast.” Jesus explains that the disciples of Jesus do not fast because the bridegroom is with them. What is the appropriate response to the invitation? What do etiquette and emotional rightness and social expectation dictate? Jesus' words about John's ministry and the Jews' reaction to it, in Luke 7:32, are couched in similar terms: “We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; We mourned to you, and you did not weep.” The refusal to recognize Jesus as the one Israel has been waiting for is like the refusal of the invitation to the feast. It is a rejection of the good ending of the story, a refusal to take part in the consummation. It is as if all the actors walked off the stage of a Shakespeare play after act 4. There are times when we want to describe a process has failed to produce its intended fulfillment and consummation — say, when I am talking to my Greek students who are struggling with Greek grammar and vocabulary. If they never go on to actually read Greek literature, I say it is like “a courtship without a marriage.” This is not about timeless truths or Buddhist spiritual enlightenment. A marriage is a historical event. That is the language that God uses about his relationship with his people. The coming of Jesus is the climax of Israel's story. And to everyone, the invitation poses the stark alternative: either enter into the banquet, or be excluded. Remember the older brother of the Prodigal Son in Luke 15: Now his older son was in the field, and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing. And he called one of the servants and asked what these things meant. And he said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has received him back safe and sound.' But he was angry and refused to go in•. (Luke 15:25–28, ESV) Or we may recall the words of Jesus after he has healed the centurion's servant in Matthew 8:11: I tell you, many will come from east and west and recline at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, while the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness. (Matthew 8:11–12, ESV) Or there is the parable of the wise and foolish virgins in Matthew 25: And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut. 11 “Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!' 12 But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.' (Matthew 25:10–12) Or we may remember what C.S. Lewis calls the “unforgettable words” in John's gospel's account of the Last Supper, once Jesus has handed the sop to Judas and told him, “What you are going to do, do quickly”: So, after receiving the morsel of bread, he immediately went out. And it was night.  (John 13:30, ESV) It was night. Judas is literally in the outer darkness. To be excluded from the banquet, to be shut out in the darkness, away from the light and joy of the wedding or the feast or the Passover meal, is all the more tragic in light of the fact that those who are excluded are the very ones who had been invited. Jesus “came to his own, and his own did not receive him.” The result is a crucial difference between Judaism and Christianity over the place of Jesus in the story of the people of God. Can you be a Jew and believe in Jesus? It is a silly question. All the original disciples were Jews. As Peter says, “The promise is to you and to your children” and “You are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant that God made with your fathers, saying to Abraham, ‘And in your offspring shall all the families of the earth be blessed.' (Acts 3:25, ESV) But can you follow Rabbinic Judaism and believe that Jesus is the Messiah? That is a different question. The Church places Jesus at the hinge of history, dating our years with the words “Anno Domini” from his first coming and looking forward to his second coming, when he will judge the quick and the dead. Judaism, by contrast, denies that Jesus is the Messiah, and insists that all the passages of Scripture that point to him — the sacrifice of Isaac by Abraham, Joseph and his brothers, the suffering servant in Isaiah, “behold a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel”, Zechariah's “behold your king comes to you, meek and having compassion, lowly and riding on a donkey,” David's beloved son Absalom suspended from a tree and pierced by a spear, and all the rest — are really not about him. Christians say, with Paul, “Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us; therefore, let us keep the feast.” In saying this, we are saying that Christ is the climax of the story. It is the natural function of feasting to mark consummations. Weddings, coronations, graduation, retirements, anniversaries, birthdays — all are marked by parties, cakes, feasting, toasts, ceremony. And that is the difference between Christianity and Judaism: Has the story of Israel reached its climax? Has the bridegroom come? Does history now stand revealed as His story? Or are we, with the Rabbis, in the position of insisting that the messiah has not come, and that the Passover does not point to him. God had promised Moses that “I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their brethren, and will put My words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them all that I command Him. And it shall be that whoever will not hear My words, which He speaks in My name, I will require it of him.”  (Deuteronomy 18:18–19, NKJV) And the rabbis say, “Jesus is certainly not the prophet like Moses, but unfortunately he is so much like Moses that we had better delete Moses from the Passover liturgy, lest Christians start using the haggadah to persuade Jews to follow Jesus.” And that is what they have done. David Daube says, “…[T]he figure of Moses, dominating the Biblical narrative of the exodus from Egypt and, naturally, at one time prominent, too, in the celebration of the deliverance on Passover eve, is radically eliminated: in the Passover eve liturgy as it stands, his name is not mentioned once in any of the prayers and recitals woven around the Biblical record, and, more than that, no Biblical passage mentioning it is quoted. It is a fantastic tour de force. Think  what it means. It is as if one were to spend annually a night commemorating Britain's rescue in the Second World War, rehearsing the main course of events as well as telling elaborate stories about them — without once mentioning Churchill. A fantastic tour de force: but there must be no human Mediator. We are left with a religion full of pointers that were designed to lead us to Jesus as the climax of the covenant, but the rabbis insist that they do not; a religion of tabernacle and temple that are all about God dwelling with His people, but now that Jesus has come, and ascended and sent the Holy Spirit, complete with the sound of “a mighty rushing wind that filled the whole house where they sat” just like God moving into the temple of Solomon and the tabernacle of Moses — now, no, the rabbis say, it is not about Jesus. But then, Judaism no longer has a temple, and the entire system that God gave in the Torah does not work without the Temple. The emperor Constantine's grandson, Julian the Apostate, hated Christianity and decided he wanted to prove it false, and the way he decided to do it was by rebuilding the temple in Jerusalem that had been destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD, in fulfillment of Jesus' prophecies on the Mount of Olives. Julian died before he could do it. Again, Judaism is a religion whose Scriptures promised the forgiveness of sins, so that God's people could live with him, and that demonstrated, as though by a gigantic show and tell of continual slaughter of animals for centuries, of daily splashing of blood against the altar, of red heifers sacrificed every year on the day of atonement, that the forgiveness of sins would happen through blood. But now, the rabbis tell us, the death of Christ was not the fulfillment of the sacrificial system — and oh, by the way, you can't offer sacrifice anymore, anyway. There are still people named “Cohen” or “Cohn” — my mother in law's family, for instance — but they are more likely to be making movies than sacrificing animals. They continue to set out a cup for Elijah, that forerunner of the Messiah promised in Malachi. And Jesus says, “But I say to you that Elijah has come already, and they did not know him but did to him whatever they wished. (Matthew 17:12, NKJV) The church father, Athanasius of Alexandria puts it this way in his On the Incarnation: So the Jews are telling fables, and putting off the time which is actually now… They are suffering like one, maimed in mind, who might see the earth illumined by the sun, but denies the sun which illumines it. For what more has he who is expected by them to do when he comes? Call the Gentiles? But they have already been called. To make prophet and king and vision to cease? This has already happened. To refute the godlessness of idols? It has already been refuted and condemned. To destroy death? It is already destroyed. What then must christ do, which has not been done? Or what is left unfulfilled, that the Jews now rejoice and disbelieve? For if, as we see, they have neither king, nor prophet, nor Jerusalem, nor sacrifice, nor vision, but the whole world is filled with the knowledge of God, and those from the Gentiles are abandoning godlessness, and henceforth taking refuge in the God of Abraham through the Word, our Lord Jesus Christ, it should be clear even to those who are exceedingly obstinate that Christ has come, and that he illumines absolutely all with his light and teaches the true and divine teaching concerning his Father. We are about to partake of Holy Communion, which is rightly understood as a continuation of Jesus' meals with his disciples, and an anticipation of the great wedding feast of the Lamb at which “many will come from east and west and recline with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.” The Holy Communion is thus truly the consummation of the story of people of God. By partaking in it, we share in Christ our Passover. We have been crucified with Him, so that we may also share in his resurrection. We locate ourselves in the story of Israel, which is the story of the Messiah. And we recite the shape of the story and inscribe ourselves in it when we say, “Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again.”

Send us Fan MailFinishing up our journey through Esther, this episode concludes with the great reversal that God does on behalf of His people.  What Haman sought to do comes back upon his own head.  The evil plan comes to ruin.  In this episodes, we discuss how it is God's job to bring vengeance; we must leave it all in His hands.  And as we see vengeance being enacted, we also realize that we are deserving of God's wrath.  But we thank Him for sending His Son, Jesus.  Because of Christ, the cross is the ultimate reversal.  He did it for Israel and the Feast of Purim is a remembrance of His faithfulness.  We remember what Jesus has done by partaking in the Lord's Supper.  He has been faithful to us as well.  

Tom Logue - May 31st 2026 What if you've accepted the invitation... but you're still missing the banquet? Jesus tells a surprising story about people who said "yes" to the King, yet never actually came. Others were invited in from the streets, while one guest was thrown out for refusing what the King freely provided. So who really belongs in the kingdom of heaven? And what if the greatest danger isn't rejection of Jesus—but refusing to let Him change you?

https://teachhoops.com/ he banquet is supposed to feel like closure. Smiles. Awards. Stories. Pictures. A room full of parents, players, and memories. But when it's your last banquet… it hits different. In this episode, Coach Collins reflects on saying goodbye to his final team and shares the lessons that only come after a lifetime in the gym—lessons about leadership, culture, pressure, relationships, and the invisible moments that matter more than the scoreboard. This is a coach-to-coach conversation for anyone who has ever: walked off the floor after a season-ending loss, sat quietly on the bus ride home, watched seniors hug their parents one last time in uniform, or felt the weight of loving kids, demanding excellence, and trying to do it the right way. Coaching isn't just strategy. Coaching is impact. And the longer you coach, the more you realize the wins are great… but the real legacy is the people you helped shape. 1) Players don't remember every play—you will be remembered for how you made them feel. Kids remember belief. They remember respect. They remember if you corrected them without crushing them. 2) Culture is built on ordinary days. Not the big rivalry night. Not tournament week. Culture is built on the random Tuesday when the gym is quiet and nobody feels like working. 3) Consistency beats intensity. The best leaders don't swing emotionally with wins and losses. They show up the same. That steadiness becomes a team's anchor in pressure moments. 4) Your best players need freedom—but they also need truth. High-level players want to be coached. They respect honesty when it's paired with relationship. Avoiding hard conversations is not leadership. 5) The locker room is a classroom. Every season teaches players how to: handle adversity respond to pressure lead when it's hard lose with class win with humility Those lessons last longer than any trophy. 6) You don't rise to the moment—you fall to your habits. The “big moment” reveals what you trained all year: communication poise toughness decision-making Habits are the real playbook. 7) Standards matter—but relationships are the bridge. Coach Collins reflects on the balance every coach is chasing: Demand excellence. Hold the line. But keep connection—because connection is what makes correction land. Coach Collins shares that the first memories after the banquet weren't the trophies. It was: a kid finally making a shot he'd missed all year a bench player getting meaningful minutes a quiet leader finding his voice a teammate choosing “WE” over “ME” Because coaching is a long collection of little moments that add up to something huge. If you're still coaching—or if you're transitioning—use these with your staff, your team, or your own journal: What's one thing you're proud of from this season? What's one thing you need to do better next season? What's one relationship you need to repair or strengthen? What standard can you raise without losing connection? What habits must become non-negotiable in your program? Create a simple “culture check” for your program: effort, attitude, communication, finishing habits Build a post-season debrief routine: staff meeting → player meetings → offseason plan Reach out to one player this week (especially the quiet one) and tell them what they meant to the team Write down your “non-negotiables” for next season in ONE sentence A season ends. A team moves on. But impact doesn't stop at the final buzzer. This episode is a reminder that coaching isn't just what you run. It's what you model. It's what you demand. It's what you build into kids when nobody is watching.

(Riverton, WY)- On this episode, Jason Wilson joins the County 10 Podcast to talk about the annual Fremont County Friends of NRA banquet and the work that has gone into building it into a longtime local tradition. Wilson has helped spearhead the event for nearly 20 years, and in this conversation he shares what keeps people coming back year after year: community, camaraderie, and a fun night built around dinner, games, raffles, auctions, and firearm-focused prizes. The event is set for Saturday, April 11, 2026, at 5:30 p.m. at the Chandelle Event Center in Riverton. Wilson also explains the mission behind Friends of NRA, which raises money to support the future of the shooting sports, with proceeds helping programs and grants at both the state and national level. The official event page notes that 50% of net proceeds are earmarked for the state, while the banquet itself gives attendees a chance to enjoy a prime rib dinner and compete for exclusive guns, gear, décor, and collectibles. Single tickets are listed at $60. If you have ever wondered what this banquet is really about, this episode gives a helpful look at the people, purpose, and energy behind one of Fremont County's annual events. Tickets are available through the Friends of NRA event page, and the official listing includes Jason Wilson as the event contact at (307) 840-2160.

Episode 290 - The Father's Banquet Have you ever struggled to receive love that you feel you don't deserve? As the Lenten journey through the Prodigal Son continues, the friars turn to one of the most striking moments in the parable, the Father's banquet. What should be a moment of pure joy is, for the son, also deeply uncomfortable. After everything he's done, he's not just welcomed back, he was celebrated. In this episode, the friars reflect on the tension between shame and mercy. What does it feel like to be fully seen, fully known, and still fully loved? Why can receiving God's love sometimes feel harder than earning it? And how do we begin to live as sons and daughters again after we've fallen? Join us as we enter into the mystery of the Father's banquet, and discover a love that doesn't just forgive, but restores, celebrates, and calls us back to life.
