Sem Steijn pakte alle krantenkoppen met zijn transfer naar Feyenoord. Hij is niet de enige winnaar, want we geven deze week twee exclusieve kaarten weg voor de Up Close en Personal show met Frank de Boer in Boom Chicago. Rob is geblesseerd, maar gelukkig voor hem PSV won overtuigend. Thijs is blij, want FC Twente pakte ook weer eens punten. Feyenoord harkte ook weer drie punten binnen onder van Persie en de competitie is nog zeker niet gespeeld. Randje Buitenspel is een podcast waar vier comedians babbelen over voetbal. Rob Scheepers, Thijs Kemperink, Tim Hartog en Wilko Terwijn zijn allemaal fan van een andere club en worden niet gehinderd door enige kennis of feiten. Het is klagen en lachen over voetbal en hun eigen cluppie.
De spanning is weer terug nadat Ajax 4 punten liet liggen in 2 wedstrijden. Feyenoord hijgt PSV in de nek en de goed ge-fari-oliede Ajax machine begint te sputteren, te piepen en te kraken. Hoe lang blijft Brobbey nog eerste keuze? Wie wint de allesbeslissende wedstrijd Feyenoord-PSV? Dat zijn de vragen van deze aflevering. Verder vertelt Wilko over zijn ontmoeting met Patrick Kluivert en Kale en Kokkie en dat hij nog 2 shows in Boom Chicago zal doen met niemand minder dan Frank de Boer en absolute cultheld Jari Litmanen. Oftewel genoeg om over te babbelen zelfs met het ontbreken van Thijs die op Assen aan het racen is. Randje Buitenspel is een podcast waar vier comedians babbelen over voetbal.

Bret Easton Ellis took 13 years to write The Shards. It's a horror novel. Or maybe it's an autobiography. In fact, it's both. The Shards is a fictionalized retelling of Mr. Ellis's 18th year. It tells the story of a group of superficially sophisticated teens have their lives shattered by a series of terrible events. It's 1981 Los Angeles and a local serial killer known only as The Trawler draws ever closer to Bret and his friends. He taunts them with grotesque threats and acts of violence. As Bret's obsession with the killer grows, he spirals into paranoia and isolation.This mesmerizing novel is a vivid and nostalgic fusion of fact and fiction at the edge of what's real and fantasy. Bret Easton Ellis is probably best known for his now-iconic book American Psycho (1991) and the highly memeable film that followed.Bret Easton Ellis was interviewed for the John Adams Institute by Dutch writer and critic Joost de Vries at Boom Chicago in January of 2023.Become a Member of the John Adams Subscribe to our newsletterSupport the show

This episode is a reflective, insightful and an overwhelming uplifting story of finding one's true self.“I (felt I) was doing the worst job on earth of being a woman. Because I'm not. And then I got to college and I saw all these queer people. And it dropped off of me that minute - that is my understanding of myself as ugly my understanding of myself as bad. All this shame disappeared the minute that I was around other queer people and no one was forcing this like weird pink on me. Then I was I immediately like, oh, I'm hot. I'm fun. I'm happy and people love me.” - ER FightmasterDon't forget to like, subscribe, rate and review - it helps others find us.

Xavier and I are so thrilled and honored that our guest for the first episode of 2023 is the sensational, actor, improviser, comedian, my North Coast teammate, and newest ensemble member of Amsterdam's Boom Chicago, Raquel Palmas (@rockwell826)! We talk to Raquel her gift for relating and connecting with people and being a social butterfly, about what it's like to come from a family of creative people, black intuition, trying to be an athlete and a theater kid in high school, effort vs talent, Raquel and I recount guesting on a Love and Hip-Hop spinoff this past year together, and Xavier reveals a secret part of his origin! Through all this varied conversation, we also manage to get some big, funny improv scenes in, including a scene about a young person trying to find independence from their theater troupe dynasty of a family, and a visit some freakish fantasy creatures looking for love in an enchanted wood. Enjoy our chat with Raquel and follow her comedy as she goes off to join the legendary Boom Chicago (@boomchicago) ensemble in Amsterdam, Netherlands this year! Or catch her playing with North Coast (@northcoastnyc) a few times this year before she takes off for Europe in March! If you dig this episode, please rate, subscribe, and tell a friend!
In this episode of Can't Find My Way Home, I was joined by Matt Castellvi. Matt is a Chicago native comedian who has been performing worldwide for the past 15 years. Matt tells us about moving to Amsterdam in January 2020 to start working at Boom Chiacgo, then in February 2020 he had to stop work because of the pandemic. Not quite the start he was anticipating… Since then, Matt's committed to a packed schedule, performing at least 5 nights per week, as well as touring as much as he can. We get into Matt's path into improv and stand up, turn ons and offs, the never ending battle with the audience, and why there's no better feeling than performing on stage,...and just what makes Boom Chicago special. There's talk of future tours, where Matt WOULD really like to perform…as well as a fun-filled Top 5 featuring opening for Alan Carr, not getting The Office, Smash Mouth's All Star, and gigging with Romanian stand-up, Victor Patrascan. All this, and why there's not enough bandwidth for people's attention… Follow Matt https://www.castellvicomedy.com/ @lolztellvi Can't Find My Way Home https://linktr.ee/cantfindmywayhome --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/craig-branch/message
Zelfvertrouwen! Daar gaat deze pod over. Van applaus van Drag Queens tot tranen van Vera, deze pod sluit niets uit. Hoe wordt confidence gevormd? Is geclaimd zelfvertrouwen lekker, of juist ontzettend delusional? Waarom is zelfvertrouwen zo hot? Hoe werkt zelfvertrouwen voor Vera en Leroy in hun open relatie? Hoe vindt je zelfvertrouwen in dating? Verder gaat de pod over tips en tricks voor een open relatie, de meest genante date van Vera en Leroy samen, Leroy's onzekerheid over z'n body-ody-ody tijdens modellenwerk, intimiderende Vera, hoe een theaterdocent kleine Leroy tot een do-re-mi dwong, hoe Vera leerde haar grenzen in seks aan te geven, de Cosmogirl, imposter syndrome, building your wings on the way down en rommelige seks met gezellige mensen. Spelen Vera en Leroy uit hoe je je confidence kunt vinden, of is het vooral prettig mee te luisteren hoe de twee de eindeloze reis naar zelfvertrouwen ervaren? Misschien sluit ook nu het een het ander niet uit.

A lot of spiritual teachings I have seen, both online and off, have been really seriously boring. I mean by being so serious has made spiritual stuff boring. Does it have to be that way? I feel like as teachers of intuition, magic, and spiritualism, we feel a huge responsibility to make sure those learning from us, learn the “right” way, have reverence for the energies that they play with and learn how to be safe & protected. I know from my own experience, I intend that anyone that works with me not ever to experience what I went through when I came out of sleeping, aka, awakening. It was a rough opening to this world. You can listen to that story here. And now I realize, there is no way I can protect any one from anything. I can't prevent something that your soul designed to experience. I've been SO serious about this that I shut off my FUN valve. I'm a pretty fun person when you meet me. So a few months back I started asking myself, Where's the FUN? If there was ever time to really expand into our fun it is when we decide to truly engage with our intuition, psychic abilities, and the like. It is suppose to be FUN. Why FUN? You might have a different approach to this or another word that gets you there. I choose FUN because it frees us from any rules. And it's a word that I associate with mostly from my childhood. Remember back when you were a kid? Remember how everything you did was in service of FUN? We could create fun out of any thing, any one, at any time. As a kid, you might've decided to knock over a freshly built Lego tower…why? FOR FUN! You jumped off the top of the couch because you wanted to see if you could fly because…IT's FUN! This is precisely where we can find our magic if we think we lost it. Tapping into those fun times as kids. Think about the kind of things you did as a kid and start there. Here in the Netherlands we have a comedy theater, Boom Chicago (named after Second City in Chicago), offers classes to intro of improvisation. So I dragged a good American friend with me and we went. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN! I had my first class last week and I have never laughed so hard in my life. It connects back to when I was a kid in a youth theatre program. We played these improv games for a few weeks before getting selected into a play. Finding the fun in your life, taking things less seriously will bring you to a place that is high vibe. This will open you up creatively and intuitively. You are letting go, feeling free and exploring what you are capable of by having fun. I know as adults we get so serious and into our responsibilities. I believe we can find fun in any part of our lives. Of course not all things are fun. What I suggest here is by asking: Where can I find the FUN in (this) ? When you do, you are opening yourself up to more joy, ease and potentially laughter when you let go of those rules around the way things should be done. When you think of spirituality what word do you associate with it? Could fun work here? And if you need a pump up in life then use this question: Where can in my life or business could use an infusion of FUN?
