Send us a textWhat happens when 5,000+ geocachers descend upon Morgantown, West Virginia? Pure magic, unexpected friendships, and countless stories worth telling.Join us as we pull back the curtain on our Geo Woodstock 21 adventure – from the spectacular highs of performing our live podcast to a standing-room-only crowd to the technical woes that left our recording unusable (again). Before reaching Morgantown, Josh took a soul-stirring detour to Pittsburgh's Mr. Rogers statue where the beloved icon's voice still echoes beneath an arch overlooking the river – a moment he describes as "almost spiritual."Our Morgantown home base proved to be a geocacher's dream: a three-story Airbnb complete with hot tub (which Craig claimed immediately and repeatedly), arcade games, and ample space for late-night geocaching tales. We traversed the region collecting stamps for the Country Roads Challenge, discovered surprisingly exceptional margarita flights at Mountain State Brewing Company, and Josh fulfilled his destiny by donning full Barney Fife regalia at the Don Knotts statue downtown.The main event showcased geocaching at its finest – vendor halls brimming with gadget caches and trackables, a massive GPS maze chronicling the hobby's history, and the electric energy of thousands sharing their passion under one roof. The weekend crescendoed with Midnight Madness at West Virginia University, where our team of content creators squared off against Geocaching HQ staff in Family Feud, claiming victory despite Craig's memorable "nano" blunder that earned thunderous boos from the crowd.Whether you're planning for next year's Geo Woodstock in Hutchinson (near the world's oldest active geocache!), or simply love hearing tales of travel and community, this episode captures why these gatherings represent the heart and soul of geocaching.Have you experienced a Geo Woodstock yet?

Two things: the new Canadian Prime Minister says it plain and true, calls out the U.S. for our betrayal of our best friend. It burns. It hurts. It aches like a bum tooth and the shame is sickening. Betrayers. We.Are.BETRAYERS. Let it sink in till the bitter bile rises in disgust. For a palette-cleanser, consider: Nitwit Nero is Barney Fife in the real world.  So Friday-On-the-Front-Porch has moved to Discord. Join us!   Head-ON with Roxanne Kincaid – May 2, 2025 This episode of the Roxanne Kincaid Show dives deep into the absurdities of MAGAT politics, global shifts in power, and the fight to preserve progressive values in the face of growing authoritarianism. Roxanne, self-described as a “liberal transbilly elitist,” cusses and discusses the MAGAT embrace of ignorance, American decline, and the urgency of community action. Key topics include: – Rep. Mike Collins's “Halal” hysteria, reacting with bigotry to CHA Street Food replacing Steak 'n Shake in a House office building, likening it to the Muslim conquest of Jerusalem. Roxanne mocks his ignorance of halal/kosher cuisine and South Asian food in general—while noting real crises in Collins's own district. – Trump (aka “Nitwit Nero”) butchering history, claiming the Declaration of Independence is about “unity and love,” which Roxanne compares to a Barney Fife-level misunderstanding. Even immigrants passing citizenship tests do better. – MAGAT voter “Cletus” laments Trump's economic inaction, showcasing disconnects between MAGAT expectations and Trump's actions. – More MAGAT absurdities, from Collins cheering racist chants to Trump demanding a birthday military parade and disrespecting Veterans Day. Beyond domestic politics, Roxanne discusses: – Canadian PM Mark Carney declaring the US-led global trade system “over” and lamenting “American betrayal,” signaling waning U.S. global relevance. – The U.S. as a ‘rounding error' globally, outpaced by the populations of China and India, and possibly facing reserve currency displacement. – Talk of a post-dollar global economy, with possible currency baskets including the yuan, euro, rupee, and pound. Amid concern for the U.S.'s fading clout, Roxanne uplifts her Horn family community, now connecting via Discord to maintain dialogue and solidarity. The show encourages listener support, podcast reviews, and highlights the work of Coal River Mountain Watch in fighting mountaintop removal. One donor even issues a challenge grant to boost fundraising. There's also some cautious optimism: – VP Kamala Harris is praised for tackling homebuying issues and price gouging. – The Quote ID contest continues, with Gatsby fans winning this round. But the future looms ominous. Roxanne warns of: – Climate catastrophe and the elite's seeming desire to abandon Earth (à la Elon Musk). – Mass extermination ideologies cloaked in "Western civilization" rhetoric by white Christian nationalists. – The Georgia Guidestones as a metaphor for techno-dystopian “rebuilding” under authoritarian rule. – A creeping American imperial presidency, with comparisons to Rome's descent into empire. Despite it all, Roxanne returns to a core message: community, resistance, and clarity of thought are vital. Whether through mocking MAGAT nonsense or spotlighting real threats to democracy and the planet, the show calls for vigilance, truth-telling, and action.

The Certain Growth of Both True and False Christianity - Matthew 13:24-43The different branches of Christianity are like that air-conditioner unit – great when working biblically, but troubled by holes that arise in the unit. Some sin and false teaching problems are like bigger holes that reveal problems quicker, but even little problems cause eventual trouble. In today's parables Jesus warns us to expect this troublesome reality.Matthew 13:24-43In Matthew 13's parables of the Kingdom, Jesus reveals that His spiritual kingdom will grow between His first coming and His return to set up a physical kingdom. In the ‘church age' we are now in local churches become spiritual ‘embassies' of the coming Kingdom.Last week we studied the Parable of the Sower. The Parable of the Sower shows 4 different responses to the gospel of Jesus Christ. In the Parable Jesus urges us to make sure we truly understand repentance and faith as we crown Jesus the King of our life and go on to bear fruit as His subject.The Parable of the weeds in the field - V. 24-30, 36-43So far we have learned that God is actively working in the world to bring people to Himself, and Satan is actively working to keep people lost.Here we read that Satan has another strategy to keep people lost – outward forms of religion without the true new birth in Jesus experience. Verse 38 says the Devil is the one who sows the weeds among the wheat.The Greek word for weeds/tares is zizanium. Scholars believe Jesus was referring to darnel (lolium temulentum), a poisonous weed that bears a close resemblance to wheat right up until the ears of grain appear. It is actually called “false wheat” by those who have had to deal with it.The thief comes to kill, steal, and destroy, but I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. - John 10:10These verses do not mean there is not a place for church discipline – in Matthew 18 we will see that there is. But it should serve as a rebuke to the growing number of zealous Christians who spend more time ‘weed-eating' then they spend sowing, planting, and watering wheat.Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you, in the new world, when the Son of Man will sit on His glorious throne, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.” - Matt. 19:28In the parable of the weeds, Jesus makes clear that outward forms of Christianity will include both true and false Christians. Make sure that Jesus really is your Lord and Savior. The Parables of the mustard seed & the leaven - V. 31-33Some take both parables to illustrate the phenomenal growth of true Christianity; Some take both parables to illustrate the phenomenal growth of false Christianity; And many, like me, take the first to illustrate the phenomenal growth of outward forms of Christianity in churches and denominations, and the second to illustrate the pervasive inward growth of false teaching in those churches and denominations.What Jesus said in the parable of the mustard seed has become true – the few dozen people gathered around him as He gave the great commission in Matthew 28 have grown to over 2.4 billion people on earth.In the parable of the leaven, Jesus is warning about how false teaching will also be a formidable problem as outward Christianity grows.Jesus said to them, “Watch and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” - Matthew 16:6Evangelical beliefs include those who testify of the new birth in Jesus and who believe the Bible is totally trustworthy and is our final authority.Jesus told us that false believers and false teaching would proliferate even as true Christianity grew. So don't be surprised and don't be Barney Fife as you interact with others. But do keep personally growing in grace and truth, and speak the truth in love to others.

When you want to confront someone about an issue, you better have some authority or you'll get laughed at to your face! In the episode of Andy Griffith where Barney confronts the two men for selling fruits and vegetables on the side of the road without a permit, they threaten to beat him up. Barney leaves because of fear but comes back to confront them pointing out that his badge represents a higher authority and they better obey it or pay the consequences. Paul tells the church at Galatia, “My authority doesn't come from any man but from Jesus himself and it is in your best interest to obey the gospel I preached to you and not some false gospel some slick talking person is speaking. If not, you'll pay the consequences.” This message we carry and share, the gospel, has our back because Jesus is our authority!

Don't it always seem to go, that you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone...Barney Fife is gone and in his place arises a great evil, so terrible that not even the Andy Griffith Show can tolerate it for very long. Warren Ferguson has arrived, despair all ye mortals.It's Andy Griffith Show Season 6, episode 5 "The Bazaar" and 6 "A Warning From Warren"If you like this, leave a rating and review or visit our Patreon or email us at breakingmayberry@gmail.com.

[SEGMENT 1-1] Christopher Wray is quitting   "So, Christopher Wray says he's quitting? Is that how they're spinning it? As if keeping his job was an option. This guy isn't walking out the door—he's being shot out of a CANNON. If the DOJ were 'The Apprentice,' there'd be no cliffhanger for the next season, because we know who's getting FIRED!   And don't get me started on his testimony to Congress.Asking Christopher Wray a question is like asking a Magic 8-Ball with commitment issues: 'Director Wray, what's your shoe size?' 'Well, Congressman, as you know, I can't comment on ongoing investigations…' 'Your shoes are under investigation?' “As I said, I can't comment about something that may or may not be under investigation.”   Let's talk about his accomplishments—or lack thereof.  [SEGMENT 1-2] Christopher Wray is quitting 2     How many terror attacks happened on Wray's watch where the FBI already had the bad guy profiled? Isn't it ironic, though that almost every mass murderer in recent memory had the FBI's attention beforehand. But they were all dismissed as 'not a person of interest.' Why? Because Wray's agents were too busy tailing legal gun owners and ignoring trans maniacs openly posting their manifestos on Facebook.It's like the FBI motto has gone from 'Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity' to 'Oops, Our Bad.' Sick twisted maniacs were practically live-streaming their plots, and wearing ‘Future Terrorist' shirts…and the FBI was like, 'Hmm… we'll keep an eye on it.' These shooters had more red flags than a Communist parade, and Wray's team is out here playing Candy Crush.   Apparently, the FBI search-engine bots no longer search for keyword terrorist, but instead look for MAGA. And it only searches the database for legal gun owners.   The FBI couldn't unlock the San Bernardino shooter's iPhone but can unlock doors at Mar-a-Lago like they've got the master key.I mean, they raided Trump's house faster than you can say “classified documents,” but when it's a literal terrorist? "Oh no, Apple says we need a passcode!" Did Wray try “1234”? No wonder the terrorists weren't scared. I'd be willing to bet that most of America's terrorists have “FBI Chris” as a contact in their phones.   And let's not forget his crowning achievement: locking up over 1,000 unarmed January 6th protesters for four years. Four years for trespassing! But hey, you're safer now, right?While actual terrorists are probably planning their next move from the comfort of an Airbnb in Ohio, the FBI's like, 'We got those grandmas who took selfies in the rotunda. Mission accomplished.' Understand, the FBI infiltrates January 6th and dresses up as Trump supporters. Wray refuses to say how many agents were there, because so many were there. And what of that guy who planted the so-called bomb? Would it surprise anybody to learn that the guy is one of Wray's agents? [SEGMENT 1-3] Christopher Wray is quitting 3   I bet you won't hear anybody discuss Chris Wray like I'm discussing him. This man writes the comedy. He's the Barney Fife of FBI folklore Worse than Comey, because we expected so much more from Wray. Christmas is coming up, and I want to do a Christmas show soon.I don't like how commercialized Christmas has become, because you get bombarded with things to buy. But I get it. I hope you will look at some of our merch as potential Christmas presents. I want to discuss Christmas songs soon. I have so many favorite Christmas songs. I heard a lady discussing her Christmas party play list, which prompted me to potentially do a show on that. And what about the raid on Trump's home? The national security threat of a president who got us out of multiple wars, negotiated peace in the Middle East, brought the two Koreas together, but he was a national security threat? So much so that they need to raid his home with a “kill order” given by a demented clown who doesn't know whether to wind his butt or scratch his watch?And let's not forget Joe Biden had actual documents next to his Corvette. Wray's response: "Oh, that's just Grandpa being Grandpa." They treat Trump's papers like nuclear launch codes, but Joe's stuff is fine even though it's stored under a pile of Chinese wire transfer documents in a box in the garage.  [SEGMENT 1-4] Chrisopher Wray is quitting 4 Chris Wray is quitting. How will America survive without him at the helm of the FBI. Don't you feel just a little more anxious with him leaving. How will the world work? All jokes aside, I feel safer now that Chris Wray is leaving the FBI.This transition period may be the only one in recent history where the most solid citizens of America aren't being targeted for something stupid. The FBI is an enigma to me. Because it treated the best citizens of America like criminals while wholly ignoring real criminals, including terrorists.From the Steele dossier to blatant lying to Congress, the FBI has a massive stain.   https://x.com/kylenabecker/status/1866522166025691508Breaking News. Fulton County Superior Court has issued a default judgment against District Attorney Fani Willis for refusing to turn over records that could document her collusion with the J6 committee and Special Counsel Jack Smith. The court order states: "By finding the Defendant in default, the Court has effectively declared that she violated the ORA [Open Records Act]. The Court further ORDERS the Defendant to conduct a thorough search of her records for responsive materials within five business days of this Order's entry." "Within the same five-day period, the Defendant is ORDERED to provide the Plaintiff with copies of all responsive records that are not legally exempt or excepted from disclosure. If the Defendant must or chooses to withhold any portion of a requested record, she is instructed to adhere to the procedures outlined in the ORA."However, the Fulton County D.A. claims that such records don't exist, potentially putting her at legal risk of perjury and obstruction of justice. The court makes it clear that it has substantive reason to believe Willis is withholding records: "Defendant is further ORDERED to provide an explanation why such correspondence does not exist in Defendant's records (or why it is being withheld)." However, if Willis does turn over the records, it could provide proof of a criminal conspiracy. Oh, the irony. Oh the irony that the FBI believes it protected the country from those parents who are overzealous about their children's education. You know how DANGEROUS plugged-in parents can be. You read about their crimes ALL THE TIME. And when Wray's FBI wasn't tormenting Trump, it labeled parents who dared to complain at school board meetings as “domestic terrorists.” Really? Because doting mothers were upset about their children learning about gender theory during “Rainbow Reading Hour” where Little Susie had to look at the “Johnson” of no-panty-wearing drag king? Meanwhile, real terrorists are taking notes.Like, “All we have to do is NOT act like a concerned parent, and the FBI will ignore you!” How many terrorists are in America? How many are known and under surveillance by the FBI now. Known criminals who came here illegally, yet the FBI refuses to get them deported? How about that Supreme Court leaker? Still unsolved. After all, there are so many potential suspects of the 50 or so potential people it could have been. We're not talking about the Pentagon; it's a glorified book club with robes. 12 justices and staffers. My 17-year old could have solved this mystery during his lunch break at the hamburger joint where he works and without the rest of the clan from Scooby Doo. But Wray's FBI is still all over this one. Rumors are, they suspect Trump.My personal favorite unsolved FBI mystery is the White House coke scandal. Really, Chris? Still looking into that? I'm no Sherlock Holmes, but the suspect list is shorter than Joe Biden's monthly to-do agenda. Do we really need a drug-sniffing dog to figure this one out? Let me narrow it down: Who was sweating profusely and asking if there's a Taco Bell nearby? Hunter? Kamala? Or—plot twist—Jill Biden crushing it between shifts. Anybody remember the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history? How does one guy rent out a floor of a hotel, turn it into an armory, commit this, and leave no trace of motive? The FBI says, “The Las Vegas shooting a mystery.”You know what else is a mystery? What Wray actually does all day. I'd really like to know how much overlap is there between the FBI and NY prosecutors targeting Trump? I'm willing to wager that they have a WhatsApp group chat on how to get Trump. Let's just say, if they coordinated this much against actual criminals, America would look like a Hallmark movie. But on Wray's watch, the FBI's biggest mission has been Operation Clockwork Orange. What will be revealed once Wray leaves? That the FBI was an adjunct operation for the Democrats. That Wray spied on MAGA-supporting Americans, and he did it to “save the democracy,” or for “the greater good”.   Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kevin-jackson-show--2896352/support.

A trip to Mayberry led to a 20-minute conversation with the man himself, Deputy Sheriff Barney Fife. This is some of my best work.

The Trinity is a made up English word for the concept taught in 1 John 5:7. The word trinity is not found anywhere in the Bible. 1 John 5:7 "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one." The Word is described in John 1 as being Jesus Christ. This episode breaks it down barney style (Barney Fife or Barney the purple dinosaur - either way, making it simple to understand) to explain something that can be very confusing for people. The Trinity is a very important concept that believers in Jesus Christ really need to understand as it goes a long way in explaining who He really is. The idea of being a Christian is quite simply being a follower of Christ, so listen to His own words and follow along in your Bible. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pastorsteven153/support

We enter the post-Don Knotts era with a clever episode that makes us ponder what would happen if Barney were here.

We say goodbye to Don Knotts as a TAGS regular as Aaron and Chris try to make sense of how television icons left shows in 1965.

Don Rickles guest stars as a memorable character who has bad luck and Aaron and Chris discuss the fly scene and what would happen if The Andy Griffith Show ever had a "very special episode".

The Fun Girls are back for the last time and Aaron and Chris bid them farewell.

Clara starts meddling and Aunt Bee tells a little white lie in an episode that is well-done, but cringe-worthy.

Opie and Howie start a newspaper and then try a new approach to sell copies that has Andy, Barney, and Aunt Bee scrambling all over town.

Barney decides to pursue an assault charge from the 1940s that nearly divides the town and Aaron gives a recap that sounds like a tongue-twister.

A television writer comes to Mayberry saying he wants to do a show on Andy, but things are not right. Aaron and Chris discuss if there ever was an old redeye flight from LAX to Raleigh and if $10 bill are the main cash currency at the Mayberry Bank.

Barney comes across a bag full of stolen money and begins throwing money around town to draw out a criminal, while Aaron and Chris discuss whether or not high rollers take the bus and play Deuces Wild.

Andy and Barney find themselves running for sheriff against each other and Aaron and Chris ponder how Barney would fare infiltrating organized crime.
