What's the craziest interaction you've ever had with someone online that led to you being blocked? We answer that question and more as Dan Ozzi (writer) joins the show for the first time to give us the scoop on being blocked by everyone's least favourite Twitter question-asker, Eric Alper. We start the show by talking about UFC's preeminent crazy person, Bryce Mitchell, and then we move on from there to commiserate with Dan about the state of online, as he told us before the episode he was grateful to finally have people to talk about it with. So of course, we touch on Bluesky's emerging prominence, Elon's stupid tweet reply to Taylor Swift, his potential decision to make everyone pay to use the site, TikTok stickers, and comedy club menus. Plus, Dan is mad at the "20 songs" tweet, John brings up some rough content from Jimmy Carr and Andre Iguodala, and Stefan finds the Naked Lego subreddit.

Rot your brain! Which music writer is the one that you would say most reminds you of riding in the backseat of your dad's car through the woods at Christmastime? It's gotta be Dan Ozzi, who wrote the wonderful book Sellout, about punk and emo's major-label feeding frenzy in the late 90s and early 00s. It's available wherever you get your books.

Rev. Dan Paavola joins host Elizabeth Pittman on this episode of The Concordia Publishing House Podcast. The duo discusses the upcoming 2023 Advent and Christmas daily devotions authored by Dan, Peace Came to Earth. Dan will talk about the different ways that Jesus brings us peace from God and remind us of the true reason of the Christmas season. Get a copy of the devotions on cph.org at cph.org/peace-came-to-earth-daily-devotions-for-advent-and-christmas. Show Notes:  In today's world, Christmastime is often busy, hectic, and stressful but that's not what Christmas is about. Christmas is about a manger and hay, stables and shepherds, and a swaddled baby called the Prince of Peace. In this episode Dan provides insight into his new daily devotions Peace Came to Earth, where readers will take a step back and celebrate the peace and simplicity of Christmas. He talks about the metaphor of the star used in the Advent series, other imagery used to paint the story of Jesus, how we find lasting peace, and how God shows us the lasting peace only He can provide. About the Guest Rev. Daniel E. Paavola is a professor and pastor with the gifts of storytelling, motorcycle riding, and Model T restoring. He is a professor of theology at Concordia University Wisconsin and served twelve years as pastor at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Butternut, Wisconsin.

Sometimes I think we, as modern day Lutherans, are scared of Mary. Maybe not scared in the “creature lurking in the shadows to ambush us” type of scared. But more…I think we often don't know what to do with her, we're not really sure what the “correct” way to feel about her is and that uncertainty makes us anxious and so we cover that anxiety by…kind of trying to say as little about her as possible, outside of Christmastime... The post The Feast of Mary, Mother of Our Lord appeared first on Wicker Park Lutheran Church.

It's always a special experience going to the Arturo Fuente booth at the Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show. I've said in the past, the Fuente booth is less about showcasing new products, but more about telling the history and story of the Fuente family. The booth is always beautifully laid out – and in a lot of ways has the look of Macy's Department Store at Christmas Time (minus the Christmas season). This year, there were several highly anticipated projects that Fuente was showcasing – making this an absolute “must see” booth at the Trade Show. Full PCA Report: https://wp.me/p6h1n1-pYJ

We are FINALLY celebrating hitting 100,000 YouTube subscribers! BlazeTV contributor Jaco Booyens and head writer and researcher for Glenn Beck Jason Buttrill help celebrate Sara's big accomplishment. Former President Donald Trump is defending himself again after pleading not guilty to 37 counts, including “willful retention of national defense information." President Biden is inching closer and closer to a possible impeachment, but are the Republicans in Congress strong enough to hold the line? We will have to wait and see. Sara is celebrating a big win for protecting kids across the country: a popular Christmastime drag show is no longer being performed for all ages. The MLB has quietly decided to drop all Pride jerseys from its lineup after receiving massive backlash for promoting Pride Month. Players will not have to wear any jersey with rainbows or Pride emblems. Starbucks locations across the country are allegedly taking down Pride decorations. We may actually know who spread COVID-19, but will the government try to cover it up? A congressman went off on HHS Secretary Becerra for forcing masks on 2-year-olds.

We're going to be taking our next scheduled episode off because we're doing some traveling this month. To help prepare us for our trip to the U.S., we're taking two requests for some good old fashioned American country music. "Christmas Time's A-Comin'" by Emmylou Harris is a song from a country tradition we enjoy, namely bluegrass. "364 Days to Go" by Brad Paisley is ... Well, it's definitely better than his other entry on our list. This week's ranking music is "Christmas Time's A-Comin'" as performed by Bill Monroe. Thank you to James for the requests!

Welcome to season 3, episode 15 of the Today is the Day Changemakers Podcast. I am delighted to welcome Sylvia Morrison once more on the podcast as our first repeated guest! Sylvia Morrison is a superhuman woman, her life and work embody the term humanitarian. She is the founder of Links Across Borders, a wonderful organization targeted towards providing for children in Ghana, West Africa. Her main focus is to expand their access to books and other school essentials that will further their education. Links Across Borders is a project that has been in gestation since 2003, when Morrison got the idea from a conversation with a friend at Christmastime. After being inspired by sending a few dollars to Ghana to host a Christmas party for children and hearing that many of them were not in school, she decided to begin fundraising herself. Three years later, Morrison began visiting “her children” and noticed they did not have books. She lives by the quote, “If you think someone should do something about that, remember that you are someone”, and as a result, she decided she would build the first library in the small village. Sylvia Morrison grew up in a village in Jamaica similar to that of the children in Ghana and she began to see her younger self in them. She cites the reason she noticed they were missing books as being because she was reminded of her own childhood, but was missing the image of a little girl sitting under a tree reading. As shown in her passion for Links Across Borders, Sylvia has a deep connection with reading and literature. When she was a girl, she was known to become so absorbed in her reading that she would interpret fictional vacations as her own, her deep appreciation for stories blurring the lines between fiction and reality. Sylvia Morrison expands on her admirable composure throughout her life's work by delving into her gratitude-centric mindset. She firmly believes that, “gratitude is the vibration on which all of the desires in our heart that we are looking to manifest are attracted into our lives”. She explains that if you are focused on problems, the universe will give you more but if you put your focus on what you want, you will attract what you want. Sylvia strongly encourages others to adopt a gratitude mindset because it reminds her that “challenges are there to help you grow” and when practicing gratitude “they don't feel as enormous”. Sylvia is a marvelous human and her unwavering altruism and everlasting gratitude are beyond compare. Please take a moment to follow and like us on social media.

We're looking at people who have had close encounters with God. Of course, Mary's experience is often read at Christmastime. In Luke 1, Mary sings the very first Christmas carol. It's the first Christmas song, and I'd say it's the best.  Let's look at 1) what leads her to sing, 2) what she sings a little about, and 3) what she sings a lot about.  This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on December 8, 1996. Series: Daring to Draw Near. Scripture: Luke 1:39-55. Today's podcast is brought to you by Gospel in Life, the site for all sermons, books, study guides and resources from Timothy Keller and Redeemer Presbyterian Church.

Questions Covered: 06:14 – What is the Catholic response to the accusation that the church is a “revamped/updated” version of Judaism?  11:11 – How did the Apostles know what to say after the Last Supper? How do we know that their words do indeed consecrate the host?  18:22 – I had a mass said by my priest at Christmastime for a late term abortionist that just started a business last year. When the priest says the mass, it's for their intentions but I don't want their intentions honored. How does that work, and does it need to be changed?  22:30 – My mother-in-law is not Catholic, and my wife is a convert. My mother-in-law insists on her ashes being split when she passes away. Would going to her funeral knowing this be condoning the splitting of her ashes?  24:31 – In the Our Father we say “…and lead us not into temptation…” Jesus says in the bible “a kingdom divided against itself cannot stand.” Why do we ask Christ not to lead us into temptation if he wouldn't do so in the first place?  29:44 – I'm a protestant and want to go to mass and start RCIA. Can you explain why there is so much disagreement in the church about the Latin Mass and the Novus Ordo Mass?  37:40 – Is there a connection between the skull cap and the Jewish yarmulke? Also, what's the significance of the large cap the pope wears?  42:25 – Why do I feel like I'm demanding things from God when praying certain prayers? For example, “…lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most need of thy mercy.”  44:51 – I confessed that I had an “impure thought” and the priest asked me to tell him what exactly that impure thought was. If that ever happened again, am I obligated to tell him that?  48:13 – We have rules and regulations but are never encouraged to bring back fallen away Catholics. Why is that never addressed by the clergy and how can we approach this better?  51:38 – What's the difference between Lourdes water and holy water? Is there a difference between blessing yourself and blessing a room with either? …

“For a while there, that was my crutch. I just, I kept going back to the bar and I was reliving that call — at night, during the day – just trying to figure out what happened. What could I have done? What should we have done? Could we have done anything better for the people that were there when we were triaging them? When we were treating them? If other units had gotten there quicker? If we had gotten there quicker?" – Paramedic KevinIt was Christmastime 2001 in Manhattan, which only added to the chaos of the scene. When Kevin and his partner arrived in Herald Square, people and bodies were everywhere. It was hard to tell where the back of city bus ended and the front of the white van began, the vehicles seemingly conjoined after the accident that took the lives of six and injured countless more. Kevin grabbed triage tags to make sense of the scene, assigning colors to victims based on the severity of their injury, attempting to do the most he could for the most amount of people while waiting for other units to arrive.  Join former firefighter/paramedic and host Phil Klein as he shares the mic with Kevin who has worked as an EMT, paramedic, deputy volunteer chief, and instructor during his 30 years in EMS. With 9/11 having happened just a few months prior, Kevin recounts how the guilt of taking that day off, coupled with the horrifying accident in Herald Square, led him to relive the scene over and over and question whether he could've done anything differently that day. It was this sea of questions that led him to drown his anxiety at the bottom of a bottle in search of answers – a habit that nearly ruined his relationships with friends and family and his career. We're looking for guests for our upcoming seasons, and we want to hear from you!

Today I want to remind you that how you treat people is important to the success of your business—customer service matters. I'm going to share a story that happened last month when Podcast Movement was over, and I was headed home. I had a late check out from my hotel and I was just about to leave, when I received an alert that my connecting flight from Orlando to Nashville was canceled. I immediately started scrambling to figure out flights for the next day. It reminded me of the fiasco with Southwest Airlines during Christmastime when they delayed, canceled, or pushed about 2 million flights—that resulted in a hearing with the Senate Commerce Committee to discuss the breakdown. Southwest delayed, canceled, or adjusted my flights three different times on January 31st. When I called them the first time, on the 30th, and told them I didn't think I'd be able to connect, they told me they didn't have anything else that day but offered to switch me to a flight the next day. Thankfully I was able to stay an extra day at my hotel. I was on the phone talking to my friend Tim, who had dealt with the same thing with Southwest—trying to fly to Vegas for Christmas. He even ended up on CNN because of the debacle. He likens his feelings toward Southwest now as a type of ptsd. I think the lesson with the whole situation is that it only takes one bad experience to really ruin it for someone. That's why I want you to hear that customer service matters. So, I was stuck in Orlando with my friend Justin Shank, who I've mentioned a few times. He runs a great podcast and mastermind groups with the Growth Now Movement and the Growth Now Summit. We were at Disney Springs grabbing dinner, and while I was sitting there, I got a text from Southwest that my trip had been canceled for the next day. Twenty minutes later, I got a text that they'd rescheduled me on something else, a flight that was going to Chicago where I would sit for a day and a half before heading to Philadelphia. I ended up canceling my flights with Southwest and to this day I'm still trying to get compensation for the trip I ended up taking on American Airlines. Customer service matters and to be honest, I don't know that I'll be able to fly with Southwest again. Your word matters, what you say matters. In December, the CEO of Southwest Airlines said, “We made mistakes. We will fix this. This won't happen again.” So to see it happen to a good friend in December and then to have it happen to me in January…doesn't seem like they've made changes. It makes me not trust them. I had a very bad experience with Southwest, but I want to contrast that with the amazing service I experienced at the Holiday Inn Orlando at SeaWorld. They did a great job. First of all, when I checked in on the 25th, I got in around noon and they got me into my room three hours early. When I found out my first flight was cancelled, they were able to keep me in the same room that night, and told me they would make it work out—however long I needed—when Southwest cancelled the rescheduled flight as well. They told me not to worry, that they would make it happen. I gained so much respect for them. They knew I was in a rough situation and was frustrated with the airlines. The fact that they were willing to be kind and gracious to me made a big impression. I felt cared for and valued by the hotel and felt like to Southwest, I didn't matter. Not once did Southwest apologize for the extra hotel expenses, extra dining costs—I didn't matter. I hope you take this cautionary tale and apply it to your real estate business. You want to give out great service—you want to care about and value people. If you make mistakes, like Southwest Airlines did, fix it. Customer service matters and mistakes that you don't take care of—that news travels and those are the things people remember. Think about whether you are creating great customer service experiences with your clients. If you are making mistakes, are you fixing...

The message of Christmas is the message of the gospel. It's the essential message of Christianity. And in Luke 1, we have one person's response to that message. At Christmastime you'll be hearing this message. The question is, “How should you respond to it?”  The message is that the Most High has become the most low. God has become human. Let's look at three things that this means: 1) God is far greater than we thought, 2) we are more sinful than we thought, and 3) God is more loving than we think. Then we'll look at one person's, Mary's, three-stage response to this message. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on December 15, 1996. Series: The Real Jesus, Part 2: His Life. Scripture: Luke 1:26-38. Today's podcast is brought to you by Gospel in Life, the site for all sermons, books, study guides and resources from Timothy Keller and Redeemer Presbyterian Church.

(The Great War's Christmas Truce) *** The case was so mysterious it was even featured on TV's “Unsolved Mysteries” and “America's Most Wanted”: who committed the Christmas murder of Latricia White? And what happened to Lee and Chance Wackerhagen? (An Unsolved Christmas Murder Mystery) *** We're so used to seeing old St. Nick showing up with a big bag of toys for the kiddies – but what if he arrived with another bag full of switches for your parents to use the whole year through if you were on his naughty list? We'll look back at when Santa wasn't purely jolly and jovial, and when he arrived to dole out both presents and punishment! (Santa's Naughty List) *** The Los Feliz murder mansion became the site of a horrifying and sad Christmas tragedy for one California family. (Christmas At The Los Feliz Murder Mansion) *** A haunting holiday mystery took place in England in 1916 when a young bride simply disappeared without a trace. (The Vanishing Christmas Bride) *** A man tries to take on supernatural forces – and ends up as an undead creature who appears as a terrifying Yuletide spirit.

This week, Kate starts with a high level first impression of the Harry & Meghan documentary (she'll cover in full once all eps come out), then she is joined by Caroline Moss (from Gee Thanks Just Bought It) to talk all the hottest trends in pop culture and gift guides. Instead, they get distracted and mostly talk about nothing current and hyper focus on the culture of hand towels and merch in lakefront towns and how the wordplay transcends any and all human reasoning, to the point where Kate laughed so hard she can't breathe, but maybe that's because she's been wearing her new vest too much. They discuss things like people who sign Facebook walls on birthdays, school dance attire, people who catalog Lululemon tags, whataboutism at Christmastime, Kate attempts to pathologize our interest in Alix Earle on Tiktok, then they talk about the culture of Maxine greeting cards and curmudgeon nuns, Christmas gift pop up shops in public schools, the hottest outfits for grades 4-6, and the rest of the episode and gift guide piece will be up on Patreon.com/bethereinfive as a bonus when Kate gets back the audio she had to have professionally edited after shrieking into the mic.

But while we know the poem, we can't be quite as sure about who wrote it. (The Christmas Poem That Started a Feud) *** One of the great (and now, sadly, lapsed) Christmas traditions is the telling of ghost stories. On one particular year, a British teenager took this pastime to a whole other level. He didn't read about a Christmas Eve haunting. He experienced one. (The Phantom Choir of St. Albans) *** The past few years have made Krampus, the Christmas devil, a star of the big screen. But have you noticed that every version of him is different than the others? This may of course be in part to creative license, but it might have just as much if not more to do with the fact that none of the filmmakers had any idea of just what Krampus truly is, what he is all about, and how terrifying he can be. (Krampus, The Christmas Monster) *** Disaster strikes a small Illinois town on Christmas Eve, stripping away all that was merry and bright for the families who lived there.

But when it comes to true fear, even Krampus would run in terror at the sight of Iceland's Gryla, the Christmas Witch! With roots dating back to the 13th century, Gryla is not to be messed with! (Iceland's Christmas Witch) *** It was Christmastime, 1938, and 19-year-old Margaret Martin had just graduated from Wilkes-Barre Business College with honors and was eager to secure a secretarial job. Her eagerness would lead to her disappearance. (The Murder of Margaret Martin) *** Ask anyone over the age of twelve what they think about the existence of Santa Claus and you'll most assuredly get the same answer. But that has not stopped people of all ages reporting sightings of the jolly old elf, and some of the stories are downright creepy.

Fresh off the fantastic series premiere of Barmageddon, Nikki is joined by her Christmas Crush, Artem, for Opening Up, which may or may not be adequately hydrated. Artem's been on Daddy Duty while Nicole has been traveling all over the country for work.
