Podcasts about Cobbler

In this episode of the Make Your Message a Movement Podcast, host Tiffany Neuman gets vulnerable about a "hard lesson" she recently had to relearn during the launch of her new suite of offers, Brand OS Pro. Despite being a veteran brand strategist and messaging guru, Tiffany found herself falling into a common entrepreneurial trap: focusing on the "how" instead of the "why." Tiffany breaks down why most experts struggle to see their own "label from inside the bottle" and offers a powerful shift in perspective for anyone whose brand no longer matches the level of authority they've achieved.Tiffany shares the behind-the-scenes reflection following her recent beta launch. While the launch was successful, she felt a subtle misalignment and realized she had been marketing the mechanics of her new system—the speed, the AI integration, and the tools—rather than the profound transformation it provides. Using the analogy of a Michelin-star chef, she explains that while anyone can buy high-end cookware, the value lies in the orchestration and discernment of the chef, not the tools themselves. This episode is a call to action for coaches, authors, and speakers to stop "renovating the decor" of their brand and instead focus on structural alignment that reflects who they have become today.Key TakeawaysThe Tool vs. The Transformation: People don't buy the "kitchenware" (the process, the software, the hours); they buy the "meal" (the experience and the result). If you sell the tool, you invite comparison on price and features. If you sell the transformation, you invite a conversation about identity.The Identity Shift: High-level clients aren't looking for a faster website; they are looking for relief from the friction of outgrowing their current online presence. An investment in a brand is often an internal declaration that the business owner is ready for bigger stages and better opportunities.The "Cobbler's Kids" Syndrome: It is incredibly easy to drift from your own professional philosophy when you are too close to your own work. Objective perspective is necessary to see the gaps in your own positioning.Orchestration Over Outsourcing: In an age where AI (ChatGPT/Claude) can generate content in seconds, the real differentiator is integration. True authority comes from knowing which "flavors" belong together and having the discernment to create a coherent brand ecosystem.Structural vs. Cosmetic Changes: Many entrepreneurs try to fix a brand misalignment by changing a font or a headshot (the decor). However, if the underlying positioning is outdated, you will continue to over-explain and compensate in sales conversations because your brand isn't doing the heavy lifting for you.Mentioned Resources:Brand OS Pro: designed to help experts rebrand or launch in under 30 days with full messaging, visuals, and website integration.Private Brand Audit & Demo: For a limited time, Tiffany is offering one-on-one calls to review your current brand ecosystem, identify gaps, and explore how to close the gap between your expertise and your digital footprint.Next Week: Don't miss the next episode, where Tiffany dives into "The Authority Gap" that no one is talking about.Rate, Review, and Follow on Your Favorite Platform!

On this episode of the Swell Season Surf Podcast, we welcome board industry vet, Jamie Meiselman to the show! We  trace his journey from cold-water surfing in Westfield, New Jersey and the DIY dawn of Northeast snowboarding to a lifetime of innovation across board sports. Jamie reflects on his early roots in skate, surf and competitive snowboarding, pioneering boot technology with Burton and Airwalk, and his years shaping the voice of the industry as Managing Editor of Transworld Snowboarding during its explosive growth in the early 90s. After earning an MBA at Columbia, he pursued an ambitious surf-focused wave pool project that ultimately collapsed, shaping his philosophy on risk, resilience, and iteration. In 2017, Jamie returned to his core passion and founded Solite, introducing the first heat-moldable surf bootie and building a lean, performance-driven brand now respected worldwide. This conversation explores obsession, reinvention, craftsmanship, wave pool evolution, and the mindset behind creating products that truly improve function — closing with reflections on shaping, favorite boards, and the perfect eternity wave.Follow Jamie's company Solite Boots on Instagram @solitebootsand you can check out the latest selection at https://soliteboots.com/The Swell Season Surf Podcast is recorded by The NewsStand Studio at Rockefeller Center in the heart of Manhattan and is distributed by The Swell Season Surf Radio Network. For more information, you can follow @swellseasonsurfradio on Instagram or go to our website: www.swellseasonsurf.com Music: Artist: Sure SureSong: This Must be the PlaceAlbum: Sure Sure00:00 Welcome to the Swell Season Surf Podcast + Jamie Meiselman's Wild Resume04:18 Risk, Failure & the Brutal Early Wave Pool Dream (1999–2004)07:08 Franken-Boots, First Patents & Burton/K2 Innovation Stories10:47 The Obsession Advantage: How Jamie Thinks, Learns & Gets Distracted (AI Tools)13:21 Building a Lean Niche Brand: Solite's Focus, Marketing & Why Performance Wins19:02 Growing Up in NJ: Skateparks, Hamptons Summers & Learning to Surf23:32 Early Snowboarding DIY Era: Woodshop Boards, Ski-Shop Roots & Tinkering Mindset28:07 Solite Origin Story: From Seamless EVA Surf Gloves to Heat-Moldable Boots32:42 Staying Small on Purpose: Competitors, Core Values & Avoiding the ‘Next Nike' Trap35:46 Founder Reality Check: Freedom vs 7-Day Weeks, Support Systems & Family Balance41:58 Less Is More: Letting Kids Learn With Guardrails42:53 Balancing Marriage, Work, and Empty-Nester Life43:42 Surf vs Snowboard: Family Interests & Learning Curves46:17 Living Inland vs Beachside: Staying Hungry for Waves49:40 Dartmouth Days: Choosing Mountains, Quitting Lacrosse for Snowboarding52:03 Starting a Snowboard Club + Early Skiers vs Snowboarders Tension54:41 The ‘Urinal Meeting' That Launched a Transworld Writing Career57:09 Why Surfing Stays #1 (and Chasing Feel Over Progression)01:00:06 From Shaping Curiosity to DIY Boardbuilding as a Step-by-Step Process01:05:52 Boots, Concave Decks, and Performance-Enhancing Gear Ideas01:09:17 Inside Transworld's Boom: Ads, Trade Shows, and Snowboarding's Explosion01:13:30 From Airwalk to Burton: Boot Wars, Culture Shock, and the Wave-Pool Seed01:19:45 From Water Parks to Surf Pools: The Wave Pool Spark01:20:27 Prototyping the Dream: Trade Shows, Engineers & Early Wave Tech01:21:42 Business School as a Launchpad: Columbia, Seed Money & Raising Capital01:24:09 The Hard Part: Rejection, Anxiety, and Getting to the First Million01:26:20 The Fatal Flaw: Adjustable Bottom Contours and Why the Pool Kept Breaking01:28:11 When It Fell Apart: Boardroom Confidence, Bad Partners & Lessons Learned01:29:43 The Randall's Island “What If”: NYC Indoor Surfing That Never Happened01:32:18 Bouncing Back: Mindset After Failure and Building Smarter at Solight01:35:48 Solight's Growth Playbook: DTC vs Wholesale, Dealers, and Global Distribution01:40:17 Marketing Breakthrough: Pros in Cold Water and the Slater Boots Moment01:43:19 What's Next for Solight: New Products, Hats, and “No Me-Too Gear” Philosophy01:47:57 Surfer Questionnaire + The Perfect Eternal Wave (and Wave Pools Today)01:54:34 Closing Thoughts: The Future of Surfing, Wave Pool Communities & Sign-OffBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/swell-season-surf-radio--3483504/support.

Chances are referrals work for your agency.  Maybe they're the only thing that ever has.  But you've never optimized them.  [Note: this is an encore of an episode originally aired 12/3/25]. If your agency is stuck in "the Cobbler's Children phase", where you deliver great work for clients but new business feels chaotic and reactive, this episode offers a way out. I'm sharing my referral workshop from the All In Agency Summit, condensed from 60 to 30 minutes of pure strategy. This isn't about random networking or hoping referrals happen. It's about installing a repeatable system that generates 2-5 targeted introductions weekly without cold outreach spam or burning out your team. What You'll Leave With:The four-level agency maturity model and how to identify which phase you're actually inWhy the 2020 shift made trust—not awareness—the scarce resource in B2B salesThe high school gym versus NFL stadium test for choosing the right lead gen strategy based on your market sizeA two-pronged outreach approach that keeps your pipeline full even when you're wearing too many hatsThe simple emotional game-changer that gets introductions to actually happen instead of sitting in limboThe one data tool you need to get started without expensive SaaS platformsWhy asking for referrals is actually a positive-sum game that benefits everyone involvedHow to systematize client referrals so your account team generates opportunities automaticallyThe sprint-to-marathon framework that proves this approach scales beyond your immediate network

Pryce loses his baseball cards, but he's not going to take this sitting down. Circumstances might encourage to squat, however.

What if the agencies that crush Q1 aren't working harder in January, they're making one  or two critical decisions right now, in December?In this solo episode, Dan reveals why Q1 consistently catches agencies off-guard and what separates those who stumble into the new year from those who hit the ground running. The secret isn't about working through the holidays or setting ambitious goals—it's about installing a systematic referral system during Q4's quieter moments. What You'll Leave With:Why trust, not awareness, became the scarce resource after 2020 and how it changes your approachThe four stages agencies move through and how to identify which phase you're stuck inThe "high school gym vs. NFL stadium" test for choosing the right lead generation strategy based on market sizeHow to structure connector calls to get 2-5 quality referrals from a single conversationThe simple human emotion that makes people actually follow through on promised introductionsA two-pronged outreach system that keeps your pipeline full even when you're buried in client workWhy making it easier for people to help you eliminates the awkwardness of asking for referralsThe one free data tool you need to get started without expensive SaaS platformsTimestamps:[00:00] Introduction: The strange Q4 gap period and what's coming[02:33] The Cobbler's children phase and why most agencies get stuck there[05:00] The four stages of agency growth and how they're detached from revenue[09:15] The 2020 trust recession and why cold outreach stopped working[12:30] High school gym vs. NFL stadium: Choosing the right strategy for your market[16:45] The systematic referral framework: How to generate warm intros weekly[21:20] Structuring connector calls to get 2-5 referrals per conversation[24:10] The emotional game changer that makes introductions actually happen[27:17] Common objections: "This seems like too much work" and "I'm worried about asking for help"[29:35] How this scales beyond your initial network (sprint, jog, run phases)[31:54] The Referral Engine Program and Referral Network Diagnostic offerQuotes: "A lot of agencies end up in level two, which we call the Cobbler's children phase. They have a track record, they've produced results for clients, but new business is very reactive—it's very much catch as catch can." — Dan Englander"After 2020, we saw a massive shift. Trust became the scarce resource, not awareness. Everyone's inbox is full, everyone's LinkedIn is saturated, and people have gotten really good at tuning out anything that feels like cold outreach." — Dan Englander"If you're getting on a call a day—like an apple a day keeps the doctor away—or five calls a week, that is usually more than enough to hit 99% of sales goals." — Dan Englander

Shortwave KitschSeason 10, Episode 2To Whom It May Concern… - “Double Your Pleasure, Double Your Pain!”Written by Brandon L. Joyner When all seems lost, desperate souls turn to Adriana Agony—your Agony Aunt—for answers. In “Double Your Pleasure, Double Your Pain,” Adriana is drawn into the tangled affairs of the wealthy Lark family after Arabella Lark seeks help, suspecting her twin sister Seraphina's tragic death was no accident. Teaming up with the sharp-tongued Inspector Cunningham, Adriana navigates a maze of sibling rivalry, shifting fortunes, and buried secrets at the overgrown Lark estate. As the investigation unspools, motives of greed and control come to light, culminating in a dramatic reveal where the true culprit is unmasked—and nearly claims another victim. With wit and wisdom, Adriana proves that no twin is truly a mirror, and that truth, however bitter, must be revealed.

BONUS: Consulting is Different—How Consulting Contracts Work Against Agile Development, With Jakob Wolman and Wilko Nienhaus  In this BONUS episode, we explore the critical differences between building software as a consultant versus inside a product company. Jakob Wolman contributed an insightful article to the Global Agile Summit book examining how third-party software development operates under entirely different constraints than in-house product development. Joined by Wilko Nienhaus, CTO of Vaimo, a consulting company in Estonia, we dive into ownership dynamics, misaligned incentives, contracting challenges, and the business pressures that shape consulting—along with practical stories from the field about what really works. The Cobbler's Shoes Problem "I come back to the office from this workshop, and suddenly, with these eyes on looking for improvements in process, I just suddenly am hit by this revelation of why things are so slow here? Why are we working so inefficiently?" Jakob describes the striking paradox many consultancies face: they excel at helping clients improve their processes while their own internal operations remain inefficient. This "shoemaker's children" phenomenon reflects a fundamental challenge in consulting—the difficulty of investing in your own improvements when all energy flows toward billable client work. Digital agencies often have outdated or poorly implemented websites despite building sophisticated solutions for others, illustrating how consultancies struggle to apply their own expertise internally. Misaligned Incentives Create Antagonistic Dynamics "It's almost as if the clients are actually paying us to be slow, because our incentive is to spend more time on achieving what the client wants, because we get paid by the hour." The incentive structures in consulting create inherent conflicts that don't exist in product companies. Consultants typically bill by the hour, creating a perverse incentive to spend more time rather than deliver efficiently. Meanwhile, clients pursue business outcomes and want results as quickly and cheaply as possible. This fundamental misalignment leads to: Clients adopting a procurement mindset, treating software development like ordering from a catalog A "wall" between stakeholders and development teams that's even stronger than in product companies Antagonistic relationships where scope changes feel like financial traps rather than necessary learning Contracting processes that reinforce waterfall thinking even when both parties claim to want agility Wilko emphasizes that contracting has a huge impact on these dynamics, and companies must deliberately change their engagement models to break free from these patterns. The Budgeting Trap and Specification Overload "Because of this budgeting process where you now need to motivate what this budget does, or you need to spend that budget, you essentially create this necessity to define everything." Consulting projects often suffer from the same problem that plagued waterfall development: annual budgeting cycles that force stakeholders to cram everything into a single specification. When there's only one chance per year to secure funding, everyone stuffs the requirements document with every conceivable feature, leading to: Massive specifications that attempt to predict all needs upfront Endless discovery meetings and documentation that add cost without improving outcomes Developers working from outdated assumptions with delayed feedback Clients who don't really know what they want but feel pressured to specify everything Jakob points out the frustration that "we've already fixed this problem" in product development through iterative approaches, yet it keeps reappearing in consulting because of the separation between entities. Ownership and Quality in Consulting Environments "Skilled engineers will be frustrated if they're not allowed to do a proper job. People that have spent a lot of time in an environment where they're never allowed to do a proper job, or maybe even punished for doing a proper job, they will have given up, and not care." The difference in ownership between product and consulting development profoundly affects how engineers think about quality, technical debt, and long-term design. In product companies, developers know they'll maintain their code, creating natural incentives for quality. In consulting, the transient nature of engagements can erode quality standards. Key challenges include: Engineers knowing they won't return to the codebase, reducing long-term thinking Clients who lack technical expertise dictating approaches they don't understand Pressure to complete fixed-scope contracts regardless of quality trade-offs The role of estimates in forcing teams to "just complete this thing" even when learning suggests changes Wilko notes that teams controlled by clients versus teams managed as stable units by the consultancy show markedly different levels of ownership and engagement. Engineers want to do great work, but without real-world feedback loops, they may either overengineer based on theoretical ideals or give up on quality entirely. Breaking the Cycle: Going Live in Two Weeks "We said to them, what if we try to actually go live in a single sprint, which in most companies is 2 weeks. And they were like, nah, we're not so sure. And we said, don't worry, you're going to get everything you want in your scope by the end. But just let's try these first 2 weeks." Wilko shares a transformative story about an e-commerce project where his team convinced a client to abandon their two-year roadmap and instead focus on going live with something—anything—in two weeks. The goal: enable one existing customer to place one order for one product they already knew. This constraint forced radical prioritization. The team didn't need images, extensive product catalogs, or elaborate descriptions. They delivered a minimal but functioning system, and the results were revelatory: The client's internal discussion shifted from "we need everything" to "what should we prioritize next?" Real customer interaction revealed unexpected problems, like internal incentive conflicts where salespeople wouldn't direct customers to the website because it threatened their commissions Senior leadership embraced the iterative approach more readily than middle management The faster feedback cycle enabled genuine agility even in a consulting context This story demonstrates that iterative approaches are more likely to lead to success in consulting, and that senior leadership is often more receptive to faster feedback cycles than people expect. The key is changing the dynamic from "deliver a complete spec" to "let's go live quickly and learn." AI as a Game-Changer for Consulting Dynamics "The groundbreaking thing that's happening right now is AI, and it really feeds into this direction. Because instead of speaking, you can actually be building, you can see things, you can do stuff that you can really test in a much more real way than you could just a few years ago." Both Jakob and Wilko see artificial intelligence as a potential solution to many consulting challenges. AI tools enable rapid prototyping and visualization, allowing teams to show rather than tell. This addresses the fundamental problem that clients don't know what they want until they see it, by dramatically reducing the cost of creating tangible demonstrations that generate meaningful feedback. If you want to know more about how AI is reshaping programming, check out our AI Assisted Coding series of episodes.  Quality and Testing Should Not Be Negotiable "I just simply think it shouldn't be a choice. We have to be very firm on this is how we work. We are the experts you are paying us." When clients ask to skip testing, reduce code reviews, or cut corners on infrastructure, Jakob argues consultancies must stand firm. Quality practices shouldn't be line items that clients can negotiate away. One consulting company that works strictly with Extreme Programming principles demonstrates this approach—they don't explain every detail to clients, but they clearly establish that "this is how we do all our projects. It's not a choice." Wilko adds that testing often saves time rather than adding cost, serving as a development tool that eliminates repetitive manual verification. The challenge comes during estimation, where padding for testing can make consultancies less competitive, creating pressure to compromise on quality. Jakob emphasizes that some responsibility lies with consultancies themselves, which sometimes over-promise and underbid to win business, then struggle to deliver quality within unrealistic constraints. This "race to the bottom" hurts the entire industry. The Path Forward: Deliberate Collaboration "It is fixable in a consultancy setting as well. I've seen it. I've been part of it. But you have to be very deliberate in your collaboration with the customer." Success in consulting requires deliberately designing the engagement model to support iterative development: Working backward from customer needs, not forward from specifications Establishing short feedback loops with both client stakeholders and end users Creating stable teams rather than assembling ad-hoc groups based on client requests Changing contracting models to align incentives (as explored in Sven Ditz's article in the Global Agile Summit book on delivering incrementally) Being firm about quality practices while remaining flexible about features Using AI and rapid prototyping to generate early, concrete feedback The consulting model doesn't have to default to waterfall, but it requires conscious effort to overcome the structural forces pushing in that direction.

In this week's Beers & Bible Podcast, we break down Romans 3:1–11 where Paul answers big questions about God's Word, His faithfulness, and the universal problem of sin.The Oracles of God (vv.1–2): Israel's advantage was receiving God's Word—salvation is not in rituals but in Scripture.God's Faithfulness (vv.3–4): Human unbelief never cancels God's promises.A Just Judge (vv.5–6): God's wrath flows from His righteousness—judgment is certain.A Just Condemnation (vv.7–8): Grace is no excuse for sin; true faith bears fruit.All Under Sin (vv.9–11): Jew and Gentile alike are crushed by sin—no one is righteous, no one seeks God.Romans 3 shows us the crushing weight of sin but points us toward Christ, our only hope.Highlights:

Comedian Kyla Cobbler takes the Supercharged Speed Quiz.

We can navigate a crisis, position a CEO, and craft messaging for millions of people. So why do so many brilliant communications professionals struggle when it comes to talking about themselves? In this episode of The Trending Communicator, Dan sits down with Natalie Moran, founder of Comms Futurist, who's built her practice around this exact challenge. After managing crisis communications for millions and working at the highest levels of government, Natalie noticed a paradox: the same people who excel at strategic positioning for others often can't articulate their own evolving value. It's the classic cobbler's children scenario . We've been trained not to be the story, especially those of us with journalism backgrounds. Natalie calls it what it is - we're simply unpracticed at talking about ourselves. But when two AI-obsessed communicators get together to mull this problem, we (shockingly) discover that even cobblers can benefit from AI. What We Talk About Why AI might actually help us do more of the work we love instead of replacing us entirely The personal branding problem that's plagued our profession forever - and how AI changes the equation Those uncomfortable moments when people ask if we're "AI experts" (spoiler: we're not, we're just curious) The shift from traditional media relations to working with micro-influencers and content creators How Natalie went from avoiding LinkedIn entirely to building a following by learning out loud Practical ways to start experimenting with AI tools without feeling like you're cheating or losing your authentic voice Notable Quotes On the Evolution of Personal Brand: "I quickly realized that there is a real market for coaching comms professionals on how to talk about themselves and how to promote themselves. Because by the time people realize they need to do it, it's too late." - Natalie Moran [41:32 → 41:50] On the Challenges of Self-Promotion: "These are smart people, they're totally capable, but they just are not practiced at exploring kind of what makes them unique and what differentiates them until like the night before a big interview for a job or something." - Natalie Moran [47:04 → 47:26] On the Importance of Online Presence: "I think being visible online and having an online presence is the new first impression times 100. You have to have an online presence and it's career insurance." - Natalie Moran [1:06:31 → 1:06:45] On the Role of Micro-Influencers: "B2B companies especially are looking to people like us who have, you know, moderately sized followings but very hyper specific audiences to promote products and services, period." - Natalie Moran [1:07:30 → 1:07:45] On the Value of Storytelling: "I think the premium on being a good storyteller is higher now than it's ever been. That is a very, very valuable skill, I think, in the world of AI." - Natalie Moran [53:32 → 53:45] Resources and Links Dan Nestle Inquisitive Communications | Website The Trending Communicator | Website Communications Trends from Trending Communicators | Dan Nestle's Substack Dan Nestle | LinkedIn Natalie Moran Comms Futurist | Website Natalie's Prompt Pack for Comms Leaders | Notion Natalie Moran | LinkedIn Timestamps 0:00 Intro: Trust recession and evolving communications 5:23 AI's impact on personal branding in comms 11:44 Ethical considerations in AI-assisted communication 17:25 Overcoming resistance to personal branding 23:15 AI as a tool for human-centric communication 29:09 Redefining personal branding for communications professionals 34:03 Leveraging AI for strategic communications planning 39:21 The importance of online presence for communicators 46:24 Balancing personal brand with professional obligations 54:44 AI's role in unlocking personal content potential 1:06:31 The future of communications and micro-influencers 1:12:43 Upcoming "Reimagine" virtual event series (Notes co-created by Human Dan, Claude, and  Flowsend.ai ) Learn more about your ad choices.

This solo episode is a deep dive into the unsexy but transformative groundwork that agency owners need to lay to build a reliable new business engine. Dan breaks down what really separates enterprise-level agencies from the ones stuck in "Cobbler's Children" limbo — not just in terms of tactics, but in mindset, strategy, people, and execution. He shares hard-won lessons from years of running Sales Schema and coaching 200+ agencies, including how to stop waiting for referrals, start building durable outbound systems, and shift from reactive selling to a process that actually compounds.This is for the agency owner who's sick of feast-or-famine cycles and is ready to take control of their pipeline without chasing hacks or magical software.⏱️ Timestamps00:00 – The Rainforest vs. The Lion Hunt: A better metaphor for agency growth02:00 – Introduction: Why solo episodes are the hardest, but the most needed03:15 – The 4 Agency Growth Stages: Glorified Freelancer → Enterprise06:00 – Specialization: Why it's now table stakes, not a nice-to-have08:30 – TAM Thinking: Apply tech startup logic to your agency niche10:00 – Why perspective is becoming table stakes13:20 – You don't need to "go inward" for 6 months — talk to the market now15:30 – Mindset: The difference between Cobbler's Children and Enterprise thinking20:00 – Why only 3% of your market is in-market right now.24:00 – All marketing is interruption marketing — so do it ethically26:00 – Why you probably don't actually know your close rate (and how to fix that)27:45 – Getting out of the sales seat: What really needs to be true before you hire a salesperson30:30 – Your first two strategy projects: Thought leadership & net-new relationships33:20 – The “balance beam” metaphor for doing outreach35:00 – Using data + context to build non-spammy outbound lists37:00 – What our best-performing campaigns look like39:00 – Where real lead gen lives: Manual outreach to old prospects42:00 – My exact reconnect email — word for word44:00 – Wrapping up: Build something buyers want, but also build for your peace of mindKey PointsThe Four Stages of Agency Growth→ Glorified Freelancer → Cobbler's Children → Transitional Agency → EnterpriseSpecialization is Now Table Stakes→ It's harder to win without it. But specialization doesn't always mean verticalization.Perspective is the New Differentiator→ Agencies that win aren't just executing.3% Rule of Market Timing→ Only 3% of your market is actively buying.Manual Outreach is Still King→ My highest ROI activity: emailing past prospects and lapsed clients.Getting Out of the Sales Seat Takes More Than Hiring a Salesperson→ You need the wave. That means systems, clarity, and enough leads to support a new closer.Links & Resources:

Get ready to have your Sandler Slot ™ rattled, because it's time to talk about a pickle-eating shoe man in the form of The Cobbler! The Cobbler? More like The SANDLE-er. Adam Sandler! 23 seasons in, and we're still somehow alive. Also… big shoutout to Slowdrip for suggesting that we watch this one. We're all worse off for it, so thank you for knowing how to play the game. Alliterations! Shoe shiner and slip on surfacer slips into sandals and stilettos, assuming status of citizens of the city, sometimes sinning, seldomly surprising, and sans a satisfying story! Scaring skaters to sleep! Skinwalking into stereotypes and shower shags! Make mom model's modified moccasins?! The daddy-mamma dementia dance! The lotsa matzah calling card! She-Man/Shoe-Man switcheroo! Breaking Chris' Grease streak, and much, much more on this week's episode of The Worst Movie Ever Made!www.theworstmovieevermade.com

What do a rogue weatherman, a meat-induced burp, and a “blind taint test” have in common? They all collide in this absolutely unmissable episode of The Ben and Skin Show, where the Wayback Machine unearths some of the most hilariously bizarre moments in show history.“I Ate the Cobbler”, A local weatherman lets out a surprise burp on live TV and immediately confesses, “I ate the cobbler.” Skin's Legendary BBQ Burp: Flashback to 2018, when Jeff “Skin” Wade tried to talk Lonzo Ball and NBA free agency while battling a full-on meat tsunami. “So much meat, man.”The Infamous “Blind Taint Test”: What was supposed to be a whiskey tasting turns into one of the most unintentionally hilarious slip-ups in show history. “You line up all those taints…” Enough said.

Jay and Mark are joined by Abe Moua (@WalrusMoose on X) to discuss "Oven Cooked," the 17th chapter of Deep Blue Sea. In this episode, they also talk about mid-movie kill lines, hungry fighting, and parrot ghosts. Enjoy!

Cobbler's tools. Weaver's tools. Glassblowing. There are a host of proficiencies that are part of building a character in D&D that seem strange at first for someone who is going out on adventures. For a lot of players, it just becomes something that you picked during character creation. We've come to call these the “orphan” proficiencies.In this episode, Tony, Chris, and Dave sit down to discuss how they utilize these proficiencies in games, and even if you should, or if you just pass over these proficiencies and get to killing orcs.3:00 The finite resources that are proficiencies, do you want to use one to be a good leather worker?6:35 Delving into the use of the orphaned proficiencies really depends on the type of game you're running and who's playing.11:55 You need to allow the space for these types of skills and proficiencies to come into play – it can't be a race against the ending of the world.13:05 Approaching it in terms of Peter Parker and Spider-Man… you've gotta pay the rent!14:40 The effectiveness of certain artisan and craft tools over others: would you prefer weavers' tools or thieves' tools?16:55 5e, specifically, has a lot of mechanics to handle most things in game. But these types of proficiencies are more narrative-focused, so don't be so slavish to the rules and mechanics.19:40 The players invested some level of thought into these proficiencies… lean into them.27:00 DM Chris develops the first Skateboarding Fighter.28:00 To shine the light on these proficiencies, you have to put some thought into building it into the campaign.32:45 It doesn't matter how dexterous or intelligent I am… I can't just play a guitar when I pick it up for the first time.39:05 Final Thoughts.
