We're celebrating our 10th anniversary all year by digging in the vaults to re-present classic episodes with fresh commentary. Today, we're revisiting our 2016 conversation with Mike Stoller. ABOUT MIKE STOLLERMike Stoller has written more than 60 songs that have appeared on the Billboard charts, including the #1 hits “Hound Dog,” “Kansas City,” “Yakety Yak,”  “Searchin',” “Jailhouse Rock,” “Poison Ivy,” “Stand By Me,” “Young Blood,” “Don't,” and “Ruby, Baby." After Stoller and songwriting partner Jerry Leiber found early R&B success with recordings by Little Esther, Charles Brown, Ray Charles, and Big Mama Thornton, Elvis Presley turned their song "Hound Dog" into a #1 single on the pop, R&B, and country charts in 1956. Elvis went on to record more than 20 Leiber and Stoller titles, including the hits "Love Me," "Loving You," "Jailhouse Rock," "Treat Me Nice," "She's Not You," and "Bossa Nova Baby." Mike and Jerry signed an independent production deal with Atlantic Records in the mid-1950s, where they wrote and produced a series of hits for several artists, including the Drifters' "There Goes My Baby," "Dance With Me," and "On Broadway." Additionally, the pair wrote and produced all the Coasters' singles, including "Young Blood," "Searchin'," "Charlie Brown," "Along Came Jones," and "Poison Ivy." Other highlights from the Leiber and Stoller songbook include "Love Potion No. 9," which was a hit for both the Clovers and the Searchers, and "Is That All There Is," which was a hit for Peggy Lee. Eleven different versions of their song “Stand By Me” appeared on the Billboard charts over the span of 50 years, with the original version by Ben E. King hitting the Top 10 in both 1961 and 1986. Smokey Joe's Cafe, which included 40 Leiber and Stoller songs, opened in 1995 and became the longest running musical revue in Broadway history. Stoller received the prestigious ASCAP Founders Award in 1991, has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and is a member of both the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Good grief! It's time to talk about Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Linus, Lucy - the whole gang. To give ourselves a solid cross-section of Charles Schulz's work on Peanuts, we read Volume 1 (1950-52) and Volume 10 (1969-70) of the Complete Peanuts collection. So we're able to track the evolution of Charlie Brown's pumpkin noggin, as well as Snoopy's ability to walk, think, and dance. We get our laughs!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Hey there, welcome back to Authentically ADHD! I'm so glad you pressed play on this episode today, because its on a topic that when I learned it, i found out it was the work i never knew i was missing and this skill has given me so much more access to my authentic self. Today, we're diving into a big, messy, important topic: self-trust – or as I like to call it, the tangled web of self-trust. Now, if you just chuckled nervously or sighed "ugh, self-trust...", you're in the right place. Stick around for the next 25 minutes, and we'll untangle this web together with a healthy dose of honesty, humor, and hope.Host (conversational): So, self-trust. Raise your hand if you've ever said something like, "I can't trust myself to do anything right!" (I'm raising mine high, by the way). Maybe you promised yourself you'd start that project well before the deadline, only to find yourself pulling an all-nighter again. Or you swore you'd not forget your friend's birthday this time, and then... whoops, you did – again. If any of this rings a bell, you are so not alone. In fact, one ADHD coach bluntly observed: "This is the truth about ADHD and self-trust: it doesn't exist. ADHD adults don't trust themselves at all. Our self-concept begins to erode pretty early in life". Ouch, right? That sounds harsh, but for many of us it feels true. Our confidence in ourselves got pretty banged up over the years.Host (relatable anecdote): I want to start with a little story here. Picture late-diagnosed me a few years back, before I knew I had ADHD. Every morning I'd pep-talk myself: "Today, I'm gonna get everything on my to-do list done. I got this." And every evening I'd go to bed thinking, "I screwed it up again. What is wrong with me?" I remember once triple-booking my Saturday because Past Me didn't trust Future Me to actually remember my plans – I figured at least one of those events I'd flake on, so better to have backups!

Real Life Ben had a pretty heartfelt Father's Day. The kind that makes you wonder what to do with all those sentimental cards—save them? Repurpose them? Wallpaper a studio? He's thinking bigger: moleskin notebooks and sketchbooks as repositories for meaningful letters, doodles, and moments. He also caught You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown at SLOREP, which delivered all the nostalgia and Peanuts poignancy one could hope for. Devon saw Annie live and reports back that yes, the sun did come out. Meanwhile, he was also boots-on-the-ground at the No Kings march in Tyler, TX, where roughly 1,000 freedom fans turned out to peacefully protest monarchy (fictional or otherwise). Steven joined a parallel No Kings march in Atascadero and followed it up with some Father's Day chaos and a Mutant Crawl Classics game (ask him about severing arms for cybernetics). Also: he watched Predator: Killer of Killers on Hulu and is delighted to report that the 800 A.D. Vikings segment delivers exactly what the title promises—Vikings versus Predator. It's glorious. Future or Now Ben warns us all: Motörhead tried to tell you, but you didn't listen. At Download Festival, moshing got so intense that smartwatches started auto-dialing emergency services. Authorities had to step in and tell everyone to dial down the wearable chaos. We now live in a world where jumping to Ace of Spades might trigger a 999 call. Rock responsibly. Steven, meanwhile, read a fascinating article on how old smartphones—millions of which end up in landfills—can be repurposed into micro data centers for public services. From bus tracking to marine research, your outdated Galaxy S6 may be the next scientific hero. As Moore's Law slows, we ask: what if we used what we already have? Devon abstained this week. (Or did he transcend time itself? TBD.) Book Club: A Psalm for the Wild-Built This week we dug into chapters 2 and 3: The Best Tea Monk in Panga and Splendid Speckled Mosscap. The robot has arrived—and while it's delightful, the kids in the book might be in spiritual peril. We unpack the loneliness and disconnection the humans seem to feel, and how it echoes the Jedi's lack of attachments in Star Wars. There's also a curious debate about genre: is this science fiction or fantasy? When your tech includes nearly-immortal pocket computers and self-aware robots emerging from the woods, the lines get blurry. Next week: chapters 4–6 (Audible 6–8), including “An Object, and an Animal,” “Remnants,” and a dinner scene featuring grass hen and caramelized onions. If you're not hungry by the end of it, you're stronger than us.

Schulz comes as close as he ever will to depicting Charlie Brown's one true love, and it goes great…for Snoopy anyway. Elsewhere, Woodstock does the Moses bit and parts a birdbath, and Rerun gets a compliment! Plus: Tango Tango, Charles!

Andrea was born in West Hills, California to an Austrian-Jewish father and a Greek mother. She started taking piano lessons when she turned five, but she knew that her true passion lay in acting from a very early age. She eventually made her stage debut at age 9 as Snoopy in "You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown". She started acting and singing lessons when she turned eleven, and continued doing theatre through her school years, picking up a few other instruments along the way. She turned her focus from theater to film, but ended up back on stage in the national tours of the 50 Shades of Grey parody musicals of "Spank! The 50 Shades Parody", and the sequel, "Spank Harder".  Andrea is currently voicing Bridget on Resident Alien and is also known for her work on Valentine's Town, Get Rich or Die Trying and Chucky!   Want to watch: YouTube Meisterkhan Pod (Please Subscribe)

In this episode of the Just Schools Podcast, Jon Eckert interviews Christina Crook, author of The Joy of Missing Out and founder of JOMO Campus. Christina shares how a 31-day internet fast sparked a global movement around digital wellness. She discusses the impact of tech addiction on attention, relationships, and mental health.  Christina shares the transformation happening in schools that embrace phone-free environments. Through strategic programs and student-driven goals, she shows how embracing JOMO empowers young people to live with purpose and become light in dark digital spaces. The Just Schools Podcast is brought to you by the Baylor Center for School Leadership. Be encouraged. Mentioned: The Joy of Missing Out: Finding Balance in a Wired World by Christina Crook experience JOMO Life of the Beloved by Henri Nouwen Connect with us: Center for School Leadership at Baylor University Jon Eckert LinkedIn Baylor MA in School Leadership     Jon Eckert: All right, Christina, welcome to the Just Schools Podcast. We've been big fans of your work for a long time. So, tell us a little bit about how you got into this work. Christina Crook: Yeah. Thanks for having me, Jon. This has been a long time coming, it's a joy to be here. So, yeah, how did the work of JOMO begin? I began my career in public broadcasting based here in Canada at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. And my education was a pretty critical look at mass communication, that was my background. And so, when social media started emerging early in my career in journalism, I was pretty keyed into the negatives early on. I was always asking the question, even when Facebook, and this is obviously dating me, emerged on the scene, that is the earliest major social media platform, I was always asking the question, "What is this displacing? Where is this time going to come from? How is this shifting my creative behaviors and my relationships?" And so, around that time, early in my career, I actually made a major move from Vancouver to Toronto. So, think just like West Coast to East Coast, essentially. And in one fell swoop, all of my relationships were all of a sudden mediated by the internet, because I'd made this major move, I only had really one close friend in the area I was moving to. And so, I started to notice my own digital behaviors shifting, and I was becoming more and more uncomfortable with my own social media habits. I was sort of creeping on the lives of my friends and family back home. Remember the good old Facebook wall? We would just do that now through snaps or whatever, see what people or the stories they're sharing. So, I was doing a lot of that and not going through the deeper, harder work of connecting directly with the people that I loved. I was also not getting to just creative projects that I was really passionate about, like writing. I'm a creative writer, so poetry and these different things. And so, I had a curiosity about what would happen if I completely disconnected from the internet for a large chunk of time. And so, I ended up doing a 31-day fast from the internet to explore what it was like to navigate the world, a very increasingly digital world, without the internet. And so, basically, off of that experiment, I wrote a series of essays and I had to publish a reach out to me about expanding off of that into a book, and that book became the Joy of Missing Out. And that is where the work of JOMO began. Jon Eckert: And when did that book get published? Christina Crook: 10 years ago. Jon Eckert: Yeah. Christina Crook: Yeah. Jon Eckert: See, I feel like you were way ahead of the curve. This is before Jonathan Haidt had made this his passion project and other people were talking about it. So now, I think back then this would've been an early alarm. And so, I guess as you look at the future and where you're at, you've had 10 years, I'd love to hear about some of the success that you've seen and some of this shifting narrative, because I think what you shared, any adult can connect with that feeling of that being inbondaged to your device. I deleted my email from my phone in January and that has been unbelievably freeing, because I check that 70 to 80 times a day. And I tell everybody, it's embarrassing because at least Facebook and social media, there's something fun about it. Email's not fun. Hearing from your finance director that you need to do something different at 11:15 at night, it's no fun. And I was addicted to that and I got rid of it. So, I think we all have felt that, but I'd love to hear some of the success you've seen with schools, particularly, or anyone else, because I think there's a value in this for all of us. Christina Crook: Yeah. So, when I started in this space, definitely I could count on one hand the people that were actively talking about this. If I even suggested to a person that they had an addictive relationship with their phone, they would get their backs up, like, "How dare you even suggest this to me?" And since then, of course, just the acceleration of the conversation, the long-term studies showing the negative impacts on our attention spans, mental health, all of the things that we talk about on a daily basis now. But the expression of JOMO in schools came about a number of years ago when the head of the wellness department at Virginia Tech reached out to me. Unbeknownst to me, she'd been following my work for years, through my podcast and books and these sorts of things. And in her own words, their best and brightest students were coming back to campus languishing before classes had even started. And as a department, we talk about the wellness wheel, the eight dimensions of wellness, and they were seeing, across their department, how digital overuse or misuse was impacting all of these different dimensions of student well-being. And so, they'd gone looking for a digital wellness program for their students. They came up empty, one didn't exist, and so the invitation from them was to co-create a program with them. And so, that became four months of just discovery, first hand reading of the college health assessment, looking for the most recent college health assessment at Virginia Tech, looking for threads and needs and opportunities, for 10 interviews with staff and students. And there we concepted a four-week digital wellness challenge for their first year students. Through our pilot programs, we saw a 73.8% behavior change. Students not only had made a change to their digital habits, but they intended to continue with those changes. And their changes, just like you're describing, Jon, like the one you did, which is tactically, for example, in our week one building better focus, is removing those things. We know that environmental changes are the most powerful to change a habit in our digital and our physical spaces. So, things like removing an app that is an absolute time sack, or it's just created a very unhealthy habit is the power move. And so, the reason why it was so successful for students is because they'd maybe thought about making a change to their digital habits, but they've never actually done it. And here they were being incentivized to take the action. And when they did, they felt immediate benefits. So, we knew we were onto something and that's where the work of the campus work began. Jon Eckert: Well, and so I think if adults feel that, how much more important is that for kids? Mine happened as a part of a 28-day digital fast that Aaron Whitehead, the book he put out on that, that our church went through it. And when I did it, the idea was, just take 28 days free of it and then you can introduce things back in. Why would I introduce that back in? Christina Crook: Totally. Jon Eckert: So, it's been great. I also do not look at my phone until after I've spent time in the Word and praying and writing each morning. And I don't even look at the phone. It used to be my alarm clock. I got an old analog alarm clock, I moved that out, that was powerful. So, as an adult, I feel that. So, I cannot imagine how 13 and 14-year-olds could deal with that. That feels like not just an uphill battle, that feels like the hill is on top of them. Christina Crook: Yeah. Jon Eckert: So, I'm curious. You mentioned Snapchat and I don't know if you saw this. This week, Jonathan Haidt on his substat came out with the court proceedings where he's done it to TikTok, now he's done it to Snapchat. And we've always said hard no to Snapchat, because Snapchat just feels like it was evil from the beginning, with disappearing content that you can't track but then can be screenshotted and any number of bad things can happen. But I just wanted to read this quote to you, because this is why I think your work is so important on so many levels. This was from a New Mexico court case. He said this: "A Snap's director of security engineering said, regarding Android users who are selling drugs or child sexual abuse material on Snap. These are some of the most despicable people on earth." This is his quote, this is a director of security. "That's fine. It's been broken for 10 years. We can tolerate tonight." That blows my mind. And so, this is what parents and educators are up against, because in my mind, that is evil. Christina Crook: Yeah. Jon Eckert: That is pure evil. So, that's where it's not just addiction to things that are relatively harmless in moderation, this is pushing back on something that is really, really invasive. And Jonathan Haidt talks all about this, the predators that are online, we worry about the people in the real world and the real challenges are virtual. So, where, in your current work, are you seeing some of this success paying benefits in protecting kids, A, but B, more importantly, leading to flourishing? Christina Crook: Yeah. So, Jon, as you know, our work has shifted from the college space down now into high schools, primarily with private Christian high schools. And where we're seeing wins and gains is at the base level of education. We talk very early on, with students, about the different systems that are at work in each of the platforms they use on a daily basis. So, let's use a TikTok or a Snap, for example. We talk about gamified systems, we talk about hook modeling, all of the mechanisms that are there to keep them. We talk about streaks. And then we have them assess the different platforms they're using and they need to identify what are the different models and how are they functioning within the platform? I think many of us can remember when the live updating feature showed up on the early social media platforms, but many of those platforms were out for many years before the live updating feature came into play. Of course, streaks, which is just the most terrible design feature ever, but students don't really stop and think about it. But when you actually invite them to look critically, and this is why the foundation of my own education was so critical, is because I was always, and I continue to come to each of these platforms asking those hard questions. So, the gains we see with students actually looking critically at the platforms they're using on a daily basis, that's where the big wins are coming. Also, we have students do their own goal setting. So, when we work with a school, one of our first questions we ask students is, we get them to imagine, "Okay, it's graduation day, so congratulations, you've just graduated from the high school that you're listening from right now. You're wearing your cap and gown. You're looking back at your time at school and you have absolutely no regrets. What did you experience and what did you accomplish during your time here?" And students kind of get this far afield look in their eyes and they start to wonder and consider. And so, they start to tell these beautiful stories of, "I want to make lifelong friends. I want to make friendships that will sustain me into adulthood or into college. I want to get a great GPA, because I want to get into this school." I try and prompt them sometimes to think of more fun things like, "You want to get a boyfriend." There's play, like you were saying earlier. What are the fun elements also of the experience you want to have here? I say, "Great." Jon Eckert: Is there a JOMO dating app? Christina Crook: Not yet, but we are consistently hearing from our partner schools that dating is up because students are talking to each other, which is my favorite thing. But yeah, so students share all of these goals and aspirations they have. And I say, "Great. Is the way you're currently using your phone, your primary device, helping you accomplish or experience these things?" And so, we're connecting it to what they actually want. When you start talking to a kid about technology, all they hear is the Charlie Brown teacher. They just assume that an adult is going to hate on the way they're using tech and the tech that they're using. And so, we're trying to connect it to, "What are your desires, wants?" And that is where I believe the root to flourishing is, because it has to be. It's the desire within them. What is it that they desire, what is that core desire? And then how can they bring their technology use in alignment with that? Do I think that Snap should be thrown out the window? Well, yeah, mostly I do. I do think there are ways to strategically use almost every platform. We're a people that believe in redemption. These platforms, there are elements of them that can be redeemed. And so, yes, it is easier to eliminate an entire platform and I think there are some that, by and large, we should avoid. But I do think we also need to be asking the question, "How can these technologies be used to our benefit?" Jon Eckert: Okay. So, I want to start with, I love the question you ask about what would a life without regrets, when you graduate, look like? That's amazing. Love that. I also feel like I've gotten some traction with kids talking about the way the adults in their lives use their devices, because that opens the door for them to say, "Oh, yeah, I don't really like..." The Pew research study that came out last year that 46% of kids report having been phubbed, phone snubbed, by their parents when they want to talk. That's real, because everybody's felt it. And it really stinks when your primary caregiver is doing that to you. The only thing I will push back on is, I do not believe in the redemption of platforms. I believe in the redemption of human beings. And I absolutely believe that there are platforms online, some of them I won't even mention on air, but that release pornography to the world. Those do not need to, nor can they be redeemed and they should absolutely be shut down. And I don't know where on the continuum Snapchat fits, but when I see testimony like that from your director of security, I'm like, "Yeah, I have a hard time saying that that can be redeemed, nor should it be redeemed," when the in-person connection that Snapchat replaces and the streaks that it puts out there. Christina Crook: Yeah. Jon Eckert: Yes, if you eliminated those things, which are what monetize it, then maybe it could be redeemed, but then there is no financial incentive to redeem it. So, I would push on that, that platforms can be redeemed. And some of them shouldn't be. Now, can they be used for good? Yes. Some, not all. But Snapchat could be used to encourage a friend, could be used to... There are ways you could use it. But are there better ways? Yeah. Christina Crook: Absolutely. Jon Eckert: Let's do that, because I think that life without regrets would look differently than, "Oh, yeah, I really sent a really encouraging Snap in my junior year of high school, it made a difference." As opposed to, "I showed up for a kid in person when they were struggling." Christina Crook: Yeah. Jon Eckert: I feel like we've gotten this proxy virtue signaling where like, "Oh, I posted something about that." Who cares? What did you do about it? Christina Crook: Yeah. Jon Eckert: And that is where I think your question hits on. But feel free to react. Christina Crook: No, it's great pushback. I think the posture that we're always taking with students is, we're not starting with, "You need to eliminate this," because the assumption they have is that it's just detox. It's just the removal of something. And we're saying, "What are the joys?" That's the joy of missing out. That is our body of work. What are the joys we can enter into when we mindfully, intentionally disconnect from the internet, or use it in ways that support our wellbeing and our goals? Jon Eckert: Yeah, no, that's always the way. With any change, you always have to be moving towards something instead of moving away. And so, you've got to make it invitational and inviting. And that's why JOMO makes so much sense. So, what do you see, you can take this in whatever order you want, is the biggest obstacles and opportunities for the work that you're doing? So, you can start with opportunities or obstacles, but take them both. Christina Crook: Yeah. So, I think it's one and the same. It's parent partnership. I think it's schools' partnership with parents. We know that the majority of technology used, especially now that we've got mostly phone free or phone controlled... Majority of the schools are moving in the phone free or phone controlled. The school direction that the minute students walk off campus, it becomes the parental responsibility. So, one of the challenges schools are facing is parents communicating with their kids all day long through the exact tools that we've asked them to put away. So, the kid's excuse is, "Well, my mom needs to message me." And so, there is this security conversation. "I need my phone to be safe." And so, addressing that, and of course in the U.S. landscape, there are real safety concerns with inside schools, and so there's a legitimacy to that. But how do schools clearly communicate and solve for that? So, we see beautiful examples. I'll use Eastern Christian and New Jersey as an example. So, they partnered with JOMO and Yonder at the same time to roll out their phone free mandate, they wrapped around the Yonder initiative with Joy and Digital Wellness Curriculum and Education. But what they did was, they established a student phone. A student phone in the school that doesn't require... There's no gate keeping. So, oftentimes they'll be like, "Oh, but you can just go to the office and use the phone." But there's a whole bunch of apprehension for students about necessarily making a phone call, for example, in front of the secretary. So, I thought that was a great solve. That was a great solve and we share that with other schools. The opportunity is parent partnership and education. So, we are solving that by providing our partner schools with just direct plug and play parent education that goes into the regular school communications, that's digital wellbeing strategies for families, conversation starters across all the age brackets, from K to 12, additional education and resources, and then just beautiful aspirational stories of Christian families that are navigating the complexity of managing technology in a way that's really human and honest and open. So, I think it's parent partnership. And then of course we're seeing great movements around parent pacts. I heard about Oak Hill here in Greater Toronto, that they've actually, as students come in, they're having parents sign a parent pact to delay phone use until the age of 16. It is as a community, that's a very low tech school. And so, the opportunities and initiatives around parents, I think, is exciting. Jon Eckert: That's very Jonathan Haidt of them. Christina Crook: Yes. Jon Eckert: And I think it is a lot easier when you do that as a group than as an individual parent or kid where you feel excluded. I just wanted to ask you this, based on what you said with the designated phone at the school. Eric Ellison, our great mutual friend, sent me this Truce software. Are you familiar with this? Christina Crook: I am, yes. We're getting to know them. Jon Eckert: What do you think? Christina Crook: So, I haven't got a chance to see it in practice, but to me, theoretically, Truce is the best possible solution. Jon Eckert: Yes. That's what it looks like to me, not having seen it in action. But talk about why you think that is, because our listeners may have no idea what this is. Christina Crook: Yes. So, Truce is a geofencing product. So, the moment everyone comes onto campus, the ability or functionality of your personal devices is controlled by Truce. So, that means that for all phones coming onto campus, automatically, the moment you drive or walk onto campus, you cannot access social media, for example. But you can continue to message your parents all day long and vice versa. And there are other controls for teachers. There's a lot of customization within it, but it just makes sense, because all the VPNs, all the workarounds, it finally solves for that, because schools are just product on product on product, firewall on firewall, and students are very smart and they have a million workarounds. And this is the only solution I've seen that solves for all of those problems. Jon Eckert: And that's what I wanted to know, because students are so savvy about getting around them. The only drawback I see, because I do think this breaks down a lot of the parent concerns and it makes so you don't have the lockers, you don't have to have the pouches, you don't have to do all the management of phones, is challenging when you have to take them from students. Christina Crook: Yes. Jon Eckert: Or you have to let them carry them around in their pockets, like crack cocaine in a locked magnetic box. Christina Crook: Don't touch it, don't touch it. Don't use it. Jon Eckert: Yeah, right. Christina Crook: Yeah. Jon Eckert: So, I like it theoretically. The only drawback is, and Haidt wrote about this in 2023, there is some benefit, especially to high school students, to not having a constant access to a parent to complain about what's going on in school. A teacher gives you a grade and that's the way the student would see it. The teacher gives you a grade you don't like, and then you're immediately on your phone complaining to your parent. And before the kid even gets home, a parent's in the office to advocate or complain, depending on your perspective. Christina Crook: Yes. Jon Eckert: For the student, that constant contact is not always healthy. But I get like, "Hey, if that was the only issue that schools had to deal with with phones, that would be a win." And it does keep communication with the parent and the kid. And I, as much as I hate it, have absolutely texted my children in high school something that I need them to know after school. Christina Crook: Yeah. Jon Eckert: And it is great when they can know those things in real time, because I didn't think far enough ahead to let them know beforehand, and I don't call the office regularly. So, I get that. But any other drawbacks you see to Truce? Because to me it does feel like a pretty ideal solution. Christina Crook: No, I think Truce plus JOMO is the winning combo. Jon Eckert: Right. And you need to understand why it's being done, because otherwise it feels like you're going to phone prison. And really, what you're saying is, no, there's this freedom for so much more if we take away these things that are turning you into a product. Christina Crook: Yeah. Jon Eckert: So, yeah. Christina Crook: And I will say, when I go into a school, I'll talk to them in a chapel, for example, with students. I basically say, "I'm in support. Props to, basically, your leadership for creating a phone controlled or phone free environment." And there's three core reasons why, and one of them is that, fragmented technologies, the studies are showing finally what I intuitively knew, and I think many of us intuitively knew more than 10 years ago, but that fragmented technology use is actually healthier. The least healthy way to live with technology is continuously. It's the first thing you touch when you wake up, the middle of the day, which props to you, Jon, for changing that habit. And it's the last thing you look at at night. And then it's tethered to your body all day long. So, those breaks from the devices. And let's be real, the students, even if they have them on their person with a Truce-like product, they're not going to be reaching... It will be fragmented still, because they don't have anything to really reach for. Are you going to check your phone 1,800 times to see if your mom messaged? Let's be real, that's not happening. Jon Eckert: We've got bigger issues if you're doing that. Christina Crook: Yes. A podcast for another day. Yes. Jon Eckert: That's it. That's it. Christina Crook: Yeah. Jon Eckert: No, that's good. Well, hey, I love that. I'd love for you to talk a little bit about, you have a summer resource for families that I think that's helpful. And then you also have some other interesting work, and then we'll jump into our lightning round. Christina Crook: Great. Yeah. So, I would just encourage people to go check out jomocampus.com/summer. So, we've got a JOMO summer tips page set up. It's just a bunch of resources for families. We've got an upcoming webinar about setting your family up for screen success. We know that in the summer it can be really a free-for-all. I have kids ages 11, 13, and 15, and if we don't have a game plan for the summer, it can all fall apart very quickly. So, things like helping your kids set goals for the summer. So, we often do an incentivized reading challenge as a family for our kids over the course of the summer. So, jump in there, take a look, there's some great resources there. And yeah. Jon Eckert: You head to the UK next week, and talk a little bit about what you're doing there. Christina Crook: Yeah. So, I've been a part of a great cohort called Missional Labs, where it's a faith-based accelerator program for non-profits and for-profit organizations. And so, we'll be together for theological learning and training, both in Oxford and in London. So, yeah, I'm really looking forward to that. Going to be connecting with Will or Ewing while I'm there, the founder of the Phone-free School Movement in the UK. So, very much excited about that, and then connecting with some Lambeth Palace folks and Church of England folks. So, yeah, it's going to be a good trip. Jon Eckert: That is great. Well, I'm glad your work is spreading and partnering. Again, at the center, we want to connect good people doing good work. And so, that's the reason why we work with you and so grateful for that. So, we move into our lightning round here, and so I almost always start with best and or worst advice you've ever given or received. So, you can take either one in whatever order you want. Christina Crook: So, best and worst for me is the same. Jon Eckert: Okay. Christina Crook: So, it was a mentor I had when I was in my 20s, and he said to me, "Just say yes. Just keep saying yes." And it was the right advice at the right time, and it was like a yes to God, just doors opening. "Yes, yes, yes." But eventually, it kind of did fall apart a little bit, because you can't actually say yes to everything, because I think there are seasons where it's just like, you just got to move and maybe it's when you're younger and those yeses all need to be strong and loud and clear, and to move through fear and towards the right things. But yeah, "just say yes" was a great piece of advice for a long time, and then I had to be much more discerning as I got older. Jon Eckert: So good. I do commencement talks. And when I do the talks, I almost always tell them to say no to good things, because if our hearts are rightly aligned with what the Lord wants us to do, then every yes is the right yes. My problem is my pride, my ego, other things get into the way of me people pleasing, and then I say yes to way too many things, and then I'm over committed. And they're all good things, but they diminish my joy and then the joy that I'm able to bring, because I become kind of a horrendous task oriented person who's only thinking about getting stuff done instead of the human beings that are the embodied souls that we work with every day. So, I think that's a great best and worst piece of advice, because I do think those yeses, when rightly aligned, are absolutely always say yes. It's just so many times I get out of alignment, so my yeses become a problem. So, best book that you've read or a project that you're working on that is book related. Christina Crook: Great. So, I do have a book. I'm rereading Life of the Beloved by Henri Nouwen. And I've been rereading it, because I am contributing a chapter to a forthcoming Nouwen collection that's coming out from Orbis Press next year. And can I read just one line that's related to what we just talked about? Jon Eckert: Absolutely. Yeah. Christina Crook: Okay. So, Henri's writing about a friend who had just visited him, and he says, "Friendship is such a holy gift, but we give it so little attention. It is so easy to let what needs to be done take priority over what needs to be lived. Friendship is more important than the work we do together." Jon Eckert: Yeah. Christina Crook: And that felt like just such an invitation, but there is also a conviction in that for me, because like you, Jon, I can be deeply task oriented. My ego definitely wants to perform and complete tasks, and I need the discipline of prioritizing friendship. Jon Eckert: Well, yes, thank you. Christina Crook: And joy. Jon Eckert: Henri Nouwen always, what a model of how to live a rich life with what matters. But I do love, again, I'll bring up Eric Ellison again, because he's how I got connected to you. Christina Crook: Yeah. Jon Eckert: He just connects friends. And so- Christina Crook: Incredible. Jon Eckert: ... he lives for and with friends because of the life that he lives that's been really vital. And we've had some great dinners together, where it has nothing to do with work, it's just, how do we get to know the immortal being that's across the table from you? And I think that's easy to lose sight of when there's so much urgent work out there, but it's really the only immortal things we interact with are the human beings that we meet with. And so, keeping that in the right perspective is vital. So, no, I am grateful for that reminder. And this may feed into the last lightning round question. What's your greatest hope as you move forward in work and life? Christina Crook: Yeah. My greatest hope is that the young people in our world are empowered and freed to live life to the full. I think it's possible. I think our shared friend, Darren Spyksma, often reminds me that God has not forgotten where we are in the culture, and technology can feel so scary, but I think we can have reasons for great hope for the life that youth are choosing to embrace, the good choices that they're making. I see it in my own kids and I see it on campuses every day. Students choosing life, and life beyond the screen is what I really believe is where we see fullness of life. Jon Eckert: That's a powerful reminder. And just as an encouragement to you, I spent the last two Tuesday nights in our foster pavilion. It's a 7,000 seat basketball arena, and it has been packed with college students primarily worshiping. One was basically a revival meeting unite, is what has gone to 17 campuses and we've had, I think, over 12,000 kids have given their lives to Christ through it. And I think over 6,000 have been baptized. And then this last week, it was a Forrest Frank concert. And you see the phones go up. The phones go up and the first one is a signal. Everybody that was dealing with anxiety, depression, anything in the last week were asked to raise their phones. And I'm not joking, that night, of the 4,500 students that I think were in there, over 4,000 phones went up. That's a good use of a phone, to say, "Hey, I need help. I want something more." Christina Crook: Yeah. Jon Eckert: And I feel like that's what JOMO calls people to. And we have a hope that goes beyond just this, what world we experience daily, and I think that's where Darren's a helpful reminder. Like, "Hey, God's much bigger than all this." And so, that's the hope we all have. So, thank you so much, Christina, for the work you're doing and for being on today. Christina Crook: Thanks for having me, Jon.

It's very possible I'm just becoming numb to the relentless cruelty and bad decisions happening in our country but the news about the National Endowment for the Arts didn't bother me nearly as much as I would have thought. Maybe if it had happened first? Like, before USAID and before all the “deportations” that are really kidnappings and before all the privacy violations and before all the flagrant attacks on the First Amendment, maybe I'd be more upset. But when the news broke about the National Endowment for the Arts (The NEA) revoking funding it had previously granted, I didn't feel nearly as bad as I felt I should. It is awful, of course. Many arts organizations were counting on that funding to do their shows, implement their programs, pay their artists, continue their missions. It is genuinely terrible, of course! That's money the Federal government promised them and then pulled away like a governmental Lucy, yanking the football out from under Charlie Brown.

The Washington Nationals held a "Pups in the Park" night AND postgame fireworks last Friday. They gave people 20 minutes to get their dogs out of the stadium, but people complained that it wasn't enough time. What is the name of Charlie Brown's dog?

John 5:30-47,I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me. 31 If I alone bear witness about myself, my testimony is not true. 32 There is another who bears witness about me, and I know that the testimony that he bears about me is true. 33 You sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth. 34 Not that the testimony that I receive is from man, but I say these things so that you may be saved. 35 He was a burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light. 36 But the testimony that I have is greater than that of John. For the works that the Father has given me to accomplish, the very works that I am doing, bear witness about me that the Father has sent me. 37 And the Father who sent me has himself borne witness about me. His voice you have never heard, his form you have never seen, 38 and you do not have his word abiding in you, for you do not believe the one whom he has sent. 39 You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me, 40 yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life. 41 I do not receive glory from people. 42 But I know that you do not have the love of God within you. 43 I have come in my Father's name, and you do not receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him. 44 How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God? 45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you: Moses, on whom you have set your hope. 46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote of me. 47 But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?These last few Sundays we've been slowly walking through the scene from John chapter 5, which takes place at a pool in Jerusalem called Bethesda. There, a man who'd long been paralyzed began to walk again. Not thanks to medicine or machinery, but a miracle. Jesus, the God-man, had simply spoken, “Get up, take up your bed, and walk.” … And the man did.Well, the Jewish religious leaders didn't like it, because the day on which he healed the man was the Sabbath. And then they really didn't like it when Jesus defended his action by saying, “My Father is working until now, and I am working.” In fact, his words so enraged them that, verse 18, they were:“seeking all the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.”Faced with the religious leaders' anger, Jesus did not retreat. Instead, the remainder of chapter 5 captures Jesus' response to these leaders in which he makes some of the most stunning claims in all the gospels:Whatever the Father does, that the Son does likewise (v. 19).The Father loves the Son, and shows the Son all that he's doing (v. 20).As the Father gives life, so the Son gives life (v. 21).The Father desires people to honor the Son just as they honor the Father (v. 23).Notice these claims of Jesus don't only concern him, but God the Father as well. His claims, in other words, are not merely about him as an individual, but about him and God and how they relate to one another.So it's for that very reason that, when he gets to verse 31, he concedes:“If I alone bear witness about myself, my testimony is not true.”Not meaning that his words couldn't be trusted. But that since his words concern him and the Father, we should expect them to be backed not only by him, but the Father as well. And through the rest of this chapter, Jesus is ultimately going to show that they are. So what we're going to do this morning is trace Jesus' argument, and see two things: reasons and roadblocks. Reasons to believe Jesus' claims, and roadblocks to believing Jesus' claims.Reasons to believe, roadblocks to believing.Let's pray, and ask for God's help once more….ReasonsSo, reasons and roadblocks. We'll begin with reasons, and Jesus gives four of them. The testimony of (1) John the Baptist, (2) Jesus' own works, (3) God the Father, and (4) Moses. Let's start with that first one, John the Baptist. Turn to John 5:33. This is Jesus speaking.John the BaptistJohn 5:33,“You sent to John [ie. John the Baptist], and he has borne witness to the truth.”Borne witness — testified, spoken aloud, audibly confirmed — the truth of what Jesus himself was claiming. And when did John bear such witness? Well, in chapter one, where he said: That Jesus, though he'd come after him, actually ranks before him because, “He was before him” (1:15). That Jesus, in fact, ranked so high above John, that John was unfit to even stoop down and untie his sandals (1:27). That Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world (1:29). That Jesus is the “Son of God.” (1:34).Jesus says,“You sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth.” Now, lest we get the wrong idea here, Jesus quickly clarifies why it is that he's saying this. It's not because he feels insecure and needs John to back him up. Nor because he feels attacked, and wants to defend himself. Often, those are our reasons for responding. Someone confronts us, challenges us, and our immediate impulse is to pounce and defend. That's not what Jesus is doing here. Rather, as we see in verse 34:“Not that the testimony that I receive is from man, but I say these things so that you may be saved.” So that you may be saved. How remarkable? I mean, think about it: Who was he saying this to? The very religious authorities who, according to verse 18, were actively seeking to kill him! I mean, Jesus knows the heart of man. He knew all about Nathaniel in John 1. All about the Samaritan woman in John 4. Jesus knows the heart of man, and Jesus knew these people were wanting to kill him. To destroy him. To put him in an early grave. I mean, how much do you have to hate someone to actually want them dead? And not only dead, but to be the one who causes his death? And yet Jesus, knowing all of that, looks them right in the eyes and says, “Just so you know, the reason I'm saying these things to you is so that you might be saved.” He'd already told them back in verse 24,“That whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life.”And now here he is, trying to get them to hear it. Trying to get them to believe it. We asked: How much do you have to hate someone to actually want them dead? How much more do you need to love someone to actually want to save those who want you dead?Friends, isn't Jesus wonderful? Isn't he magnificent? Don't skip over verses like these. Linger long over the heart of God as its revealed in the pages of Scripture. Allow yourself the time to be made glad as you see, “My Savior, is just so good!” He seeks to save his would-be persecutors. So, first reason to believe Jesus' claims is the testimony of John the Baptist. Here's the second reason: Jesus' own works. WorksVerse 36,“But the testimony that I have is greater than that of John [Note: “Greater,” so he's ratcheting up his argument]. For the works that the Father has given me to accomplish, the very works that I am doing, bear witness about me that the Father has sent me.“Works like, in John 2, when Jesus turned about 150 gallons of water into wine, without even lifting a finger. Or later in John 4, when Jesus healed a man's son who was deathly ill, without even being in the same town as him. And just recently, in John 5, when Jesus told a paralyzed man to stand and the paralyzed man did. The feeding of the 5,000, the walking on the water, the giving of sight to a man born blind — all of these works are still to come. Yet, even now, Jesus says: my works act as words. They proclaim: God has sent me.So, first reason to believe is testimony from John, and second the testimony of Jesus' works. Third, is the testimony of the Father himself. GodVerse 37,“And the Father who sent me has himself borne witness about me.”This of course is the heaviest hitter in the argument. Should the Father affirm the Son? Well, we need no other evidence. And Jesus is saying that he, in fact, has “borne witness.” But the question again is, when? When did the Father bear witness about the Son?Well at least one place was at Jesus' baptism. There, when Jesus had come up out of the water, the Father's voice rang out from heaven: “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased” (Mk. 1:11). And look, God tells no lies. God calls something good, he means it. God calls something evil, then that is what it is. God calls someone his beloved Son; with whom he is well pleased. Well, you better believe he is.So, we have the Father's witness in Jesus' baptism. And, I believe we're meant to see we have the Father's witness in all of Scripture as well.Look with me, verse 37,And the Father who sent me has himself borne witness about me. His voice you have never heard, his form you have never seen, 38 and you do not have his word abiding in you, for you do not believe the one whom he has sent. 39 You search the Scriptures [(ie. God's word) So I see a connection between God's witness, God's voice, God's word, and the Scriptures — all getting at this concept of the Father's witness of the Son] because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me.” The Scriptures at that time, the Old Testament, Genesis to Malachi — “They're about me,” Jesus says. The Father's word is about me. And that's why in Luke 24, on the road to Emmaus, Jesus interprets all the Old Testament as things concerning himself (Lk. 24:27). The Old Testament is about Jesus.So, believe the testimony of John, the testimony of Jesus' works, and the testimony of God the Father both at Jesus' baptism and in the Scriptures. Last, believe the testimony of Moses. And this actually signals our transition from reasons to believe, to roadblocks to believing. We've got three reasons to believe. Here's a fourth — it's Moses — but it's at this point Jesus puts his finger upon the roadblock to believing.RoadblocksMosesLet's begin by considering the fact that Jesus has just called all of Scripture to account. Saying the Scriptures, which would've already included the writings of Moses, bear witness about him. So, Moses has already been counted as witness, yes? So, why is it that Jesus references him here specifically? Why does he, as it were, set Moses in the spotlight before them, and say “You know, Moses, he too has borne witness about me”?Verse 45,“Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you: Moses, on whom you have set your hope. 46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote of me. 47 But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?”Why the emphasis on Moses? Well, it's because these religious authorities had prided themselves upon their obedience to Moses. They, in fact, had built their entire lives around following the Laws of Moses. In their minds, they were set apart, and far greater than everyone else, because of their diligent study and expansive knowledge of Moses. Moses was, in this way, their one major stepping stone to self-worth, social rank, and salvation. And Jesus, is going to take a hold of it. You ever watch Charlie Brown as a kid? Charlie Brown, the well behaved, inquisitive, yellow shirt with zig zag stripe, cartoon young boy? If you did, then I want you to imagine the religious leaders right now as Charlie Brown. Jesus is Lucy. And the writings of Moses are the football. You guys remember what Lucy used to always do with Charlie as Charlie ran up to kick the football? She'd hold it, “Hey Charlie, here's the football.” And then just as Charlie ran up and was about to kick it she'd pull that thing away and Charlie's leg would swing on up into thin air carrying his whole body with. Jesus knew these religious leaders. He knew the confidence they had in their grasp of Moses and ability to follow the Laws of Moses. So, Jesus takes Moses' writings, and says, “Religious leaders, this is Moses. You think you got a hang on Moses. You're kicking into thin air.”Jesus puts the writings of Moses right down in front of them and says: You don't even believe his writings. You don't even understand his words. You think that if he were here today, he too would be pointing a finger at me, and yet it is he who wrote of me. And should you continue in your disbelief, it is also he who will stand as your accuser, on the last day.” Again, verse 45,“Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you: Moses, on whom you have set your hope.” And so we've got to ask the question: what's gone wrong here, so as to lead these religious leaders to not even believing the one in whom Moses wrote? What's gotten in their way? What's their roadblock to believing Jesus?Was it merely intellectual? A problem from the neck up? Read Jesus' indictment:You have not heard God's voice (v. 37)You don't have God's word (v. 38)You do not believe the one whom he has sent (v. 38)Therefore, verse 40, “You refuse to come to me that you may have life”And then, verse 42: “But I know that you do not have the love of God within you.”What a daring indictment!“You don't have the love of God within you.”It's like he's saying, “You who accuse me of breaking God's Sabbath, don't even love the God who gave you the Sabbath. You don't love him. You know things about him. You teach things about him. You've convinced others that your life is all about him. And yet if we were to put your heart under the microscope and scour its every corner for signs — what you most enjoy in this life, what you most savor in this world, what your treasure really is — at no point and in no place would we find even a hint of love for the God you claim to worship.”That's what it means for a person to not have the love of God within them. To not have it is to not have it. And why? Why is there no love for God in their heart? Because there's already a love for something else in his place. What is it? What, at bottom, is the roadblock to belief in Jesus? We need everyone in the room, myself included, to ask this question. What, at bottom, is the roadblock to belief in Jesus?Ask it for your unbelieving neighbor, your non-Christian co-worker, your sibling or parent who has walked away from the faith. And ask it for yourself lest you too make shipwreck of your faith in Jesus. What is the ultimate roadblock to belief in Jesus?It's this — uncontested thirst for your own glory. Uncontested thirst for your own glory. That, brothers and sisters, is at the root of unbelief. Not a problem in your mind, not a problem with your upbringing, not a problem with God's so-called lack of evidence. No, no, no. When it really comes down to it, when all is truly laid bare — the reason for man's refusal to bow the knee to Jesus is owing to man's thirst to have others to bow the knee to themselves instead of God.Jesus asks, Verse 44:“How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?”Answer, you can't. You cannot seek to glorify yourself and God simultaneously. Why? Because God's glory contests all others. God's glory outshines all others. God's glory makes our glory look small, and we, in our sin, don't like looking small.Think about it: The painter who wants to think himself the greatest in the world, will detest the museums where Da Vinci is celebrated. Just as the writer who wants to think herself the greatest in the world, will avoid the conversations in which Shakespeare is honored. The singer, the actor, the architect, and the salesman; the mother, the teacher, the doctor, and the lawyer — should they prefer the belief that they are the world's greatest — will intentionally and aggressively shield their eyes from the masters of their field so as to not look small standing next to them. They'd rather be blind and think themselves greatest, than open their eyes and realize they aren't. Friends, God is the ultimate Master. The Holy one. The eternal one. The sovereign, glorious, and omniscient one before whom we don't hold a candle. Should you prefer project “increase self-glory,” how could you love, pursue, praise the God who says, “My glory, I will not give to another”?Jesus' question is one we must regularly ask ourselves: “How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?”So, hear the warning: Belief in God is impossible where praise of self is preferred. Hear that warning, and, now, hear the good news. If you are here today and you take joy in the thought of God being God — being radiant in splendor, held high and celebrated, praised and adored and enjoyed in the heavens…If you know that Jesus is wonderful, and are glad that he's wonderful…If you have tasted how good it is not to have to incessantly labor for even an ounce of momentary worshiped, but to simply delight in worshiping the one whose truly deserving of it anyway…If you treasure being loved, forgiven, and brought near to God, so as to gaze upon his beauty all the rest of your days…If it pleases you to say, “Oh, Father, not to us, but to you be the glory”…Well, it would seem that God has begun a work in you. And your life now as a Christian is a life of simply asking, “God, grow my heart in greater enjoyment of your glory, and greater distaste for my own.” Really, all of the Christian life simply comes down to those two corresponding realities: greater enjoyment of God's glory, greater distaste for your own.ApplicationFor Christians: Ask God, right now, “Search my heart for where uncontested thirst for personal glory still remains. Show me the places, the people, the things in which my prayer of my heart has not been, ‘Hallow be thy name', but ‘hallow be my own.' Convict me, change me, give to me a clean heart and renew a right spirit within me. Turn my inborn impulse away from self-glorification, to the happy life of glorifying you. For Non-Christians: Remember, Jesus said what he did in John 5 “so that people might be saved.” His desire this morning, in other words, is not to be your accuser, but your Savior. Ask him to show you, right now, for the very first time, that his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, is actually that one great thing for which your heart has been craving all along. To show you that it will only be in your celebration of him that everything in you will finally be made whole. God made you to revel in his glory, not rival it. God made you to commune with him, not compete with him. Rest — your real, full, deep, lasting rest can be had if you are willing to throw in the towel of project “increase self-glory,” and take up the song of the glory of God. Do it now. Say: “God, make yourself great in my life now.” And then, enjoy God's glory, to your soul's delight.The TableWell, what brings us to the table this morning is the fact that the Scriptures that bear witness to Jesus — to his glory, his majesty, his identity as the Son — bear witness also to his death. Death on behalf of those who, by nature, scorned him, mocked him, and considered him smitten by God. Death as a piercing for our transgressions and crushing for our iniquities so that by his wounds we could be healed.

What's up, dudes? I've got Anthony Caruso from ‘Tis the Podcast and Jeremy Phelps the Alamo City Santa with me to dig into Charles Schulz's Peanuts. That's right! It's the 1974 special It's the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown! Released on VHS in 1986, the gang tries to decorate eggs and prepare for the holiday shenanigans of the title character. Oh, Linus! Silly goose!In one of the Christmasy Easter specials ever, Peppermint Patty tries to teach Marcie how to dye eggs, but Marcie keep cooking the eggs in different ways and spoils their plans. Meanwhile, Woodstock needs a new house because his nest gets flooded. He and Snoopy head to the store to get a new birdhouse.Christmas decorations are already on sale at the store when Sally, Lucy, Linus, and Charlie Brown head there to get some new Easter shoes and other supplies. The entire store is decked out for Christmas Linus tells Sally about the Easter Beagle who dances in to town and delivers eggs. Inevitably, Snoopy does indeed deliver eggs to the kids, much to the chagrin of Lucy, who had previously boiled, painted, and hid said eggs. Dancing dog? Check. Clueless egg-dying friend? Yep. Christmas creep? The best kind!! So grab your eggs, buy a birdhouse, and  complain about Christmas decorations before Easter with this episode on “It's the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown!”‘Tis the PodcastFB: @tisthepodTwitter: @tisthepodIG: @tisthepodcastGive us a buzz!

When your CFI asks for your name and you respond with "standby" – you're experiencing what pilots call a helmet fire. In this episode, Ben, Brian, and Ted dive into the phenomenon of task saturation that affects pilots at every level, from Ben's instrument approach adventures where he made what sounded like "Charlie Brown's teacher" over the radio, to Ted's coastal flight where turning back was the smartest option. The crew shares practical strategies for extinguishing these cognitive infernos: slowing down both mentally and physically, asking for delay vectors, and constantly thinking ahead by asking "what are the next two things?" They discuss how flying with other pilots can increase pressure, why preparation is critical, and how everyone from students to seasoned pilots can recover when they fall behind the airplane. Plus, updates on the upcoming T82 fly-in (80 attendees, 39 aircraft!), community milestone celebrations, and a reminder that, as Wendell Geek says, "helmet fires are like exercise – they suck in the moment, but in the long run they make you stronger."Mentioned on the show:* VLD - Valdosta Georgia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valdosta_Regional_Airport* The Underbelly Project: https://viralart.vandalog.com/read/chapter/the-underbelly-project/* The Towering Inferno: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Towering_Inferno* M02 - Dickson County Airport, Tenn: https://www.airnav.com/airport/M02* the Dixie Dregs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dixie_Dregs* L.P.

In this episode, the guys have a long discussion about what makes Peanuts work, and how Schulz's presence is felt in the strip. Can that be the key to understanding Peanuts? Or is it possible we're overthinking this? Meanwhile, Rerun provides some of the strip's best moments. Charlie Brown is still up all night. And Spike is still fighting in the trenches. Plus: Charlie Brown has a thing for redheads. Transcript available at UnpackingPeanuts.com Unpacking Peanuts is copyright Jimmy Gownley, Michael Cohen, Harold Buchholz, and Liz Sumner.

Send us a textFriends of EddieThe second 1x1 feature rounding out Season 14 and, chosen by Jack, the film is THE FRIENDS OF EDDIE COYLE (1973). Directed by Peter Yates, whose career TGTPTU is unlikely to cover in a future 4x4 despite having Krull and Bullitt in his credits, TFOEC is an adaptation of George V. Higgins' inaugural novel and notable as a unromanticized depiction of crime in artistic response to The Godfather, the Puzo book and Coppola film each preceding, respectively, the book and movie versions of TFOEC by one year.  Higgins would take issue with the book as his debut novel. The former deputy assistant attorney general claimed to have written and burned 14 novels over 17 years prior to TFOEC and would go on to author over 30 books, both fiction and nonfiction before his fatal heart attack in 1999, but none with the impact of his first. As seasonal guest host Jack points out, nearly all the dialogue in the film is as it is on the page, and the pages are dripping with dialogue that creates the setting and action for this ironic story of “friends” who double-cross and live less than glamorous lives as Irish mobsters and criminals in Boston.  Yates populates the film with faces, faces that we don't see much anymore, distinct faces and every one telling a story, from the titular Coyle plated by Robert Mitchum who earlier in this life reluctantly left the assembly line to be an actor to actor Alex Rocco who starred as Moe Greene in The Godfather and helped Mitchum meet some of his old criminal friends whom Rocco had to leave behind after he (the actor Alex Rocco) was held for questioning in relation to the murder that kicked off the Boston Irish Gang War of the 1960s to James Tolkan before he'd lost his hair a decade prior to portraying Principal Strickland in the Back to the Future movies and Detective Hugh Lubic in the Cannon Films classic Masters of the Universe.  For this episode, everyone did research: Jack and Thomas pair off for book report; Ryan covers the career of Mitchum; and Ken covers Yates and laments how now Hollywood lacks hacks as well as provides a new shaggy dog with The Pals of Charlie Brown. Make sure to wipe your prints clean on this one before listening with a friend. THEME SONG BY: WEIRD A.I.Email: thegoodthepodandtheugly@gmail.comFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/TGTPTUInstagram: https://instagram.com/thegoodthepodandtheugly?igshid=um92md09kjg0Bluesky: @goodpodugly.bsky.socialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mI2plrgJu-TB95bbJCW-gBuzzsprout: https://thegoodthepodandtheugly.buzzsprout.com/Letterboxd (follow us!): Podcast: goodpoduglyKen: Ken KoralRyan: Ryan Tobias

Each day, every single person in the United States, all 324 million, discards about five pounds of waste. Be it a bottle that gets placed in a recycling bin or a piece of paper crumpled and tossed into the waste bin, every bit of the daily 1.6 billion pounds cast-off has a story. Everyone's Trash: One Man Against 1.6 Billion Pounds (Peter E. Randall Publisher, 2024) is full of those stories. It will wake you up and give you hope. As the author, Duncan Watson, says, "More people in America recycle than vote. Recycling is more popular than Democracy!" Watson began his personal trash journey in his pre-teens as an attendant at a small municipal recycling center in Northern California. After a brief stint as a child voice actor for Charlie Brown, he spent several years wandering the resource management desert looking for a better paying gig. He has been a restaurateur in his family's restaurant, and done a number of other stints in the hospitality arena. He has worked at the US EPA, and for the last 30 + years worked for the City of Keene. NH's Dept. of Public Works. During that time, he was honored with a Recycler of the Year Award and he was also inducted into the “Hall of Fame” by the Northeast Resource Recovery Association. He has also spent many years on the Board of that regional cooperative market for recyclables. He did receive a master's degree in Resource Management and Administration from Antioch New England Graduate School. Professor Michael Simpson has been the Director of the Resource Management and Administration graduate program at Antioch University New England, in Keene, NH.  Currently, he is participating in the Circular and Low Carbon (CALC) project, in conjunction with International Sold Waste Association and the City of Rotterdam, NL.

Episode 3521: Spending money out of boredom is a common trap, fueled by the instant gratification of shopping and the endless distractions of social media. Charlie Brown argues that the key to breaking this cycle lies in embracing profound boredom, a deeper state of reflection that can lead to meaningful life changes. By stepping outside, engaging with the world, and allowing boredom to transform into creativity and purpose, we can escape the lure of mindless spending and build a more fulfilling life. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://themakingofamillionaire.com/you-spend-money-because-youre-bored-26d8fa1be4af Quotes to ponder: "We are very, very good at stemming boredom with spending money." "Shopping through boredom is about as far from a win-win situation as you can get. It's expensive, you'll probably regret it, and it's not a long-term solution to your boredom." "Stepping outside your house has two major boredom-blocking benefits. One, it stems superficial boredom in an easy, cheap way. Two, it's well-documented that walking does things to your brain that nothing else can." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

They also share their excitement about an upcoming trip to Tennessee, where they'll be guests on the Ducks Unlimited Podcast.
