The 11 o Clock Show In the twilight years of the 1990s, The 11 O'Clock Show exploded onto Channel 4 as a sharp, satirical late-night comedy that would come to define a cultural shift in British humour. Launched in 1998, the show embraced controversy, irreverence, and chaos—offering a blend of current affairs commentary, anarchic sketches, and daring character work. What began as an experimental format with modest expectations quickly grew into a breeding ground for some of the most iconic comedic voices of the next two decades. This episode explores how The 11 O'Clock Show served as the launchpad for then-unknown talents like Sacha Baron Cohen, Ricky Gervais, and Mackenzie Crook. We revisit Ali G's legendary rise from fringe character to cultural juggernaut, Ricky Gervais' early incarnations of cringe comedy, and Crook's subtle brilliance in darkly offbeat sketches. All three would go on to revolutionise British and global comedy in their own ways, but it was this chaotic Channel 4 late-nighter where the seeds were first sown. Behind the camera, the writing talent was equally impressive, with future stars like Charlie Brooker and John Oliver contributing to the show's jagged, boundary-testing tone. With contributions from Father Ted creators and Borat collaborators, The 11 O'Clock Show was a nexus of comedy evolution, fusing tabloid cynicism with Gen X sarcasm. The episode also unpacks the cultural moment that gave rise to the show: a time when New Labour's gloss was beginning to crack, political correctness was being loudly challenged, and the media was becoming increasingly self-aware. The 11 O'Clock Show didn't always get it right—it could be juvenile, offensive, and uneven—but it helped pave the way for the next era of British satire. More than two decades later, the show's influence can still be felt in the tone, style, and structure of modern comedy. From Ali G's real-world interviews to the cringe-laced realism of The Office, The 11 O'Clock Show helped rewrite the rules of televised humour. This episode takes you back to the messy, brilliant, late-night chaos that changed the face of comedy—whether Channel 4 knew it or not.

Two Midwesterners and one Australian (Rhys Crook from The Crook Cut Podcast) go fur trapping in northern Wisconsin with applejack salesman Jean Kayak on this slapstick affair for the film Hundreds of Beavers. Two filmmakers from Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin (Mike Cheslik and Ryland Tews) banded together to create this indie comedy that cost $7,000. 1,500 Adobe After Effects animations, and several film festivals later, it's now touring across the country and is already considered by some to be a cult classic. Many critics have compared Hundreds of Beavers to the films of Buster Keaton, Abbot & Costello, & The Three Stooges. What will these three film reviewers think of it?

How To Kick the Snooze Button Habit:Waking up several times interrupts and fragments sleep, which means you'll cycle back and forth between light, non restorative sleep and being awake, which isn't restful.It can leave you feeling tired and groggy when you finally get out of bed.It reinforces bad sleep habitsOn top of not feeling rested, alert and at your best, the sleep expert points out that consistently not getting enough sleep can raise the risk of weight gain, cardiovascular disorders, metabolic disorders and even dementia.Fortunately, you can break the sleep-snooze cycle by:Making sure you're getting enough sleep to feel truly rested, which is between seven and eight hours a night for most folks.Sticking to a consistent sleep schedule, which Auckley notes is easier if you time to rise to when your internal body clock starts to wake you up.In the morning, try to resist hitting snooze and get up as soon as your alarm goes off.Getting morning light exposure as soon as possible when you wake up, which helps keep your internal clock in sync and improves alertness.Have a positive morning ritual to look forward to, whether it's enjoying freshly made coffee on your porch or catching up on sports scores.Things You Are Still Wasting Your Money On:ATM FeesIn 2025, paying ATM fees is almost a fool's errand. With so many online banks offering free ATM withdrawals and brick-and-mortar banks offering a large network of free ATMs or ATM fee reimbursement, paying several dollars a month is seemingly avoidable. Simply put, there's no reason to waste money on fees just to access your own cash so even if it takes planning ahead, make sure you omit this expense.Bottled WaterShockingly, people continue to spend money on bottled water, even given both the financial and environmental downfalls. If you don't trust your tap water, even the cost of installing a filter or having one in your fridge can make it worth your money in the long run. Stop paying for something you can essentially get for free and invest in a quality reusable water bottle for when you're on the go.Brand-Name MedicationsUnless you're specifically advised by your doctor, opting for brand-name medications over their generic counterparts is a pointless expenditure. Generic drugs have the same active ingredients and undergo the same quality control as their branded counterparts. Switching to generics can save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars annually without compromising on health.Cable TV SubscriptionsThe world has moved on from traditional cable television, but many are still holding onto it — along with its hefty bill. Streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+ offer customizable viewing options for a fraction of the price and even bundling options. If you're still paying for a bloated cable package, it's time to cut the cord and switch to more budget-friendly entertainment options.Extended WarrantiesRetailers love to upsell extended warranties, but the truth is, they're seldom worth it. Most products are built to last for at least the length of their original warranty, and by the time they break, chances are you'd be looking to upgrade anyway. Instead of shelling out for extended warranties, set aside a small emergency fund for when things really go wrong.Fast FashionCheap, trendy clothing may seem like a good deal, but fast fashion is a money pit. These clothes are usually poorly made and fall apart after just a few wears, forcing you to constantly replenish your wardrobe in a never-ending cycle for your closet and nearest landfill. Instead, invest in quality, timeless pieces that last longer. You'll not only save money but also reduce your environmental footprint.Premium Gas for Non-Luxury CarsUnless your car specifically requires premium gasoline, you're throwing money away by filling up with it, especially when gas prices are already so high. Modern engines are designed to run efficiently on regular unleaded gas, and using premium won't give you any added benefits in performance. Stick to regular gas and watch your fuel expenses drop in what you pay at the pump.Overpriced Online Shopping on AmazonName-brand phone chargers, headphones, and other items can cost up to three times as much on Amazon when compared to other retailers or the product's own website. Check reviews before you add something to your cart as many will let you know if it's worth the cost. Don't be afraid to shop around, as varying sticker prices could shock you.Unused Gym MembershipsIn 2025, no matter your fitness resolutions, there's no reason to pay for a gym membership you're not using. With the explosion of online workout platforms, free YouTube fitness channels, and affordable apps, staying in shape no longer requires an expensive gym pass, particularly if you don't go regularly. If you're still paying for a membership you rarely use, it's time to cancel and explore the world of free digital fitness.What ER Doctors Bring On Vacation:Anti-nausea medication - “Always pack Zofran, just in case,” said Dr. Cedric Dark, associate professor of emergency medicine at Baylor College of Medicine. “The feeling of nausea and vomiting is one of the most hated things you could ever imagine and there's nothing over-the-counter that is that helpful.” Zofran is only available by prescription, but it dissolves under your tongue, so it works even when you can't really keep anything down.A bug zapper - Dr. Dark says standalone mosquito traps or a mosquito zapper racquet like the one he uses are must-haves for traveling somewhere tropical, where the insects can carry serious diseases like West Nile virus, Zika virus and dengue fever.Tweezers - They're a fix for the far more simple, but common problem of splinters, and that's why tweezers are a travel essential for Dr. Joy Crook, associate professor of clinical emergency medicine at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.Compression socks - The CDC warns that traveling for more than four hours by air, car or bus raises the risk of developing blood clots, but wearing compression socks can help lower that risk. That's why they're a go-to for Dr. Erin Muckey, associate professor of emergency medicine at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School.A portable charger - Dr. Eric Adkins, an emergency medicine physician at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, points out that you can't call for help or look up where the nearest pharmacy or hospital is with a dead phone battery, so he packs a portable charger.A carbon monoxide detector - Dr. Crook says this is a recent addition to her travel bag, since several stories of travelers dying from carbon monoxide poisoning have happened this year alone.Melatonin - Not sleeping well can weaken the immune system, which can make you more likely to get sick, but melatonin supplements can help “reset your internal clock,” according to Adkins, so you can snooze.Second Date Update: Dalia and Reggie go to the Mountain Winery to see Chris Isaak. She loved every minute. He has disappeared...was it her dancing?

A Haunting Southern Story Set in the Wild Mississippi Delta Four years after Kelly Mustian's USA Today bestselling debut novel, The Girls in the Stilt House, started appearing on "must-read" lists and earning starred reviews, the author is set to release her much-anticipated second novel on April 1, 2025. Like her first, The River Knows Your Name is already gathering buzz as a tumultuous and "well-woven mystery."   Emily Matchar, author of In the Shadow of the Greenbrier, wrote, "You won't be able to put the book down until the last puzzle piece of their dual-timeline family mystery clicks into place." Attend the Author Interview & Book Signing Kelly Mustian was in conversation with interviewer Jane Wood on Monday, April 7, 2025 at the Beaches Branch Library. This program was made possible by the support of the Friends of the Beaches Branch Library. The River Knows Your Name For nearly thirty years, Nell has kept a childhood promise to never reveal what she and Evie found tucked inside a copy of Jane Eyre in their mother's bookcase—a record of Evie's birth listing a stranger as her mother. But lately, Nell has been haunted by hazy memories of their early life in Mississippi, years their reclusive mother, Hazel, has kept shrouded in secrecy. In dual storylines decades apart, Nell, forty-two in 1971, reaches into the past to uncover dangerous, long-buried secrets, and Becca, a young mother in the early 1930s, presses ahead, each moving toward 1934, the catastrophic year that would forever link them. From a windswept ghost town long forgotten to a river house in notorious Natchez Under-the-Hill to a moody nightclub stage, Evie's other mother emerges from the shadows of Depression-era Mississippi in a story of hardship and perseverance, of betrayal and trust, and of unexpected redemption in a world in which the lines between heroes and culprits are not always clearly drawn. Kelly Mustian is the USA Today bestselling author of The Girls in the Stilt House and The River Knows Your Name. She is the recipient of the Mississippi Library Association's 2023 Author Award for Fiction, and The Girls in the Stilt House was shortlisted for the 2022 Crook's Corner Book Prize for best debut novel set in the American South.

Numbers don't tell the whole story.   But sometimes, those numbers are so impressive that they are a starting point for a really good story.   162 Tournament titles 38 NCAA postseason appearances 27 Conference championships 28 Conference players of the Year 17 Conference freshmen of the Year 215 All-Conference performers 381 Conference All-Academic team members   That's just a small sample of the accomplishments compiled by head coach John Crooks and his players since he took over as men's golf coach at Campbell in 1990 and assumed women's head coaching duties one year later.   Heading into his 36th year at Campbell – John Crooks will become the longest tenured head coach in school history when the academic calendar flips this August.   It's safe to say that he has built not only a mid-major powerhouse, but also one of the best college golf programs in the Southeastern United States.   That program has not only produced three – soon to be four – PGA Tour professionals, but hundreds of successful Campbell graduates over the last four decades.   John Crooks moved to Buies Creek four decades ago and this place became not only his home, but that of his children and their families.   In the first of two episodes of Tales from the Creek, Hall of Fame Coach John Crooks talks with Stan Cole about how he began playing golf, competing at the highest level, his journey to Buies Creek, his path to coaching, and much more.

In a high-energy episode, @intheMatrixxx and @shadygrooove dive into the growing panic among ex-FBI crooks as Kash Patel and Dan Bongino's FBI opens new investigations into past misconduct, targeting former officials like James Comey, whose “86 47” Instagram post threatening Trump sparked outrage. The show highlights how these probes, potentially revisiting the Trump-Russia investigation and January 6, expose the corruption of the FBI's old guard, with Comey and others lashing out, claiming the investigations are politically motivated—a narrative the show debunks as a desperate attempt to evade accountability. Patel and Bongino's America-First leadership, already proven through child predator busts and transparency on Epstein, stands in stark contrast to the establishment's fear, reinforcing Trump's vision of justice and reform, from his Memorial Day tribute at Arlington to his $3 trillion Middle East deals.

Ashley Crooks had the dream life—financial freedom, a business that ran on autopilot, world travel, love. But something was still missing. She didn't feel free. In this deeply honest conversation, Ashley explains why internal freedom is what we're really chasing—and how to finally access it.

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.  

Either Dan Bongino and Kash Patel are corrupt liars or they are lying because they have been made to fear. There is no option where they are telling the truth and we all know it. So what then?Introduction* Opening Remarks (00:00:00 - 00:02:21)* The hosts, self-described as the "two kings of the Rube Empire," introduce the episode with a fiery tone, labeling themselves right-wing extremists, supernaturalists, and Christian bigots.* The Philosopher King holds 51% of the power, while the Iron King is the "people's champ" and hosts the show with unfiltered energy due to Dusty's absence.* The hosts emphasize their Christian faith, with the Iron King declaring his love for Jesus Christ and urging listeners to follow Him.* Tone is set for a candid, no-holds-barred discussion, promising to "give it straight with no chaser."Main Topics Discussed* Criticism of Dan Bongino and Kash Patel (00:00:01 - 00:22:10)* Context: The hosts express frustration with conservative figures Dan Bongino and Kash Patel for statements made on a Sunday talk show (possibly CBS) regarding Jeffrey Epstein's death and the Butler County shooter.* Epstein's Death (00:10:43 - 00:17:18)* Bongino and Patel claimed Epstein killed himself, which the hosts vehemently reject, citing well-known inconsistencies:* Epstein was in a suicide-proof cell with paper sheets.* Cameras malfunctioned, and guards fell asleep, later being exonerated.* Three neck bones were broken, unusual for a suicide.* A cell phone was found in his possession, and his cellmate allegedly tried to kill him.* The hosts mock the "trust the files" narrative, referencing Steven Crowder's breakdown of the impossibility of Epstein's suicide.* They argue this reflects either coercion or complicity, highlighting the power of the "deep state."* Butler County Shooter (00:21:50 - 00:24:36)* Bongino and Patel dismissed conspiracy theories about the shooter, Matthew Thomas Crooks, claiming he acted alone.* The hosts counter with suspicious details:* Crooks' house was wiped clean, and his parents were heavily lawyered up.* His parents were psychologists, potentially linked to CIA-like manipulation.* A call to FBI headquarters was traced to his phone.* Security failures included an understaffed Secret Service, a sloped roof left unguarded, and CNN's rare coverage of the Trump rally that day.* They suggest an orchestrated assassination attempt meant to spark civil unrest, foiled by divine intervention.* Key Takeaway: The hosts view these statements as evidence of a controlled narrative, undermining trust in conservative leaders and exposing the impotence of political figures against systemic corruption.* Distrust in the System and Political Figures (00:18:51 - 00:29:00)* The hosts argue that the presidency and government are powerless against a "deep state" pulling the strings, using an Avenged Sevenfold music video as a metaphor for unseen powers controlling politicians.* They criticize the blind loyalty to figures like Trump, emphasizing that no politician can save America—only Christ can.* The hosts reject the "lesser of two evils" voting argument and lament the lack of principled leaders like Patrick Henry.* They cite Thomas Massie as a rare principled politician who achieves little due to systemic resistance, reinforcing their view that the government is not for the people.* Critique of Political Labels and Conservatism (00:07:35 - 00:09:30)* Referencing Joel Webbin's podcast, the hosts argue there are no true conservatives in government, only "liberals and liberals."* They identify as Christian nationalists, prioritizing biblical principles like truthfulness over political allegiance.* They express frustration with Republicans who attack principled critics rather than addressing systemic lies.* Societal Decline and Spiritual Perspective (00:04:19 - 00:05:55)* The hosts compare America's state to a self-implosion, likening it to biblical Judah facing internal collapse rather than external invasion.* They draw parallels to Elijah's time under Ahab and Jezebel, positioning themselves as voices crying out in the wilderness against a corrupt system.* The Minor Prophets provide "copium" for dealing with a seemingly lost cause, reinforcing their belief that only Christ, not human government, offers salvation.* Positive Developments and White Pills (00:15:21 - 00:19:00, 01:04:50 - 01:05:46)* Policy Wins: The hosts praise RFK Jr. for removing food dyes and challenging the ineffective HHS, as well as Trump for passing no tax on tips, though they push for broader tax reform like eliminating income tax.* Cultural Shifts: They highlight the rise in homeschooling and Christian schools as signs of a growing resistance to secular propaganda, attributing this to divine providence.* Incremental Change: While acknowledging small victories, they urge listeners not to settle, criticizing Republicans who celebrate minimal progress without pushing further.* Joe Rogan and Tucker Carlson's Spiritual Awakening (01:13:31 - 01:20:02)* The hosts cite Joe Rogan attending a Protestant church and Tucker Carlson reading the Bible as evidence of a cultural shift toward Christianity.* Rogan, once dismissive of Christians, now sees the need for Jesus, influenced by guests like Wes Huff and Dave Smith.* Carlson's journey from atheism to faith further illustrates God's movement in influential figures.* This "mustard seed" growth of faith in prominent voices gives hope that God is working despite systemic corruption.* Call to Action for Christians (01:07:49 - 01:13:02)* The hosts reject withdrawing from society or violent rebellion, instead advocating for a long-term strategy of faithful Christian living:* Raise families to love Jesus, build strong churches, and spread faith organically.* Example: A friend running for mayor of Orlando, driven by faith, exemplifies local impact.* They emphasize that faith in Christ, not the system, will restore society, likening it to the kingdom of God growing like a mustard seed.* Evangelistic Appeal (01:20:06 - 01:25:56)* The hosts directly address non-believers, arguing that the world's evil reflects human sinfulness, which only Christ can redeem.* They challenge the notion of morality without God, asserting that evil (e.g., Epstein's actions) is only recognizable because of God's standard.* They call listeners to submit to Jesus, the only perfect founder of faith, for personal and societal transformation.Key Themes* Distrust in Institutions: The hosts view the government, FBI, and mainstream media as irredeemably corrupt, controlled by unseen forces.* Christian Faith as the Solution: They repeatedly affirm that only Jesus Christ, not political figures or systems, can save individuals and society.* Critique of Blind Loyalty: They challenge the idolization of politicians like Trump, urging listeners to prioritize principles over personalities.* Hope in Divine Providence: Despite systemic failures, the hosts see God moving through cultural shifts (e.g., Rogan, Carlson) and grassroots efforts (e.g., homeschooling).* Long-Term Faithfulness: They advocate for incremental, faith-driven change through strong families and churches, rejecting quick fixes or violence.Notable Quotes* On Epstein's Death: “You want me to believe that Jeffrey Epstein killed himself? Because just trust me, bro, I read the files.” (00:13:51)* On the System: “Trump's not in control of the country right now, guys. Sorry. He's not.” (00:19:00)* On Faith: “Faith belongs in only one place. That's Jesus Christ.” (01:12:03)* On Hope: “God will not be mocked. God is taking the number one and two voices in podcasting and turning them to Jesus.” (01:17:04)* On Evangelism: “What are you waiting for? What else do you need to see in 2025 at this point?” (01:20:27)Cultural References* Alex Jones: Quoted for his blunt style: “Don't crap and piss on me and tell me it's raining.” (00:03:18)* Avenged Sevenfold: Music video “The Stage” used to illustrate hidden powers controlling politicians. (00:19:14)* Lord of the Rings: The ring's destruction symbolizes the system's eventual collapse through its own corruption. (01:06:42)* The Matrix: Boomers are likened to those plugged into the Matrix, needing to wake up to reality. (01:00:23)* Narnia: “Aslan's on the move” as a metaphor for God's active work. (01:07:38)* Ghostbusters: “Cats and dogs living together” humorously describes the chaotic cultural shift. (01:20:02)Verse of the Day* Matthew 25:31-32: “When the Son of Man comes in His glory and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne and all nations will be gathered before Him. He will separate them one from another, just as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.”* Context: Emphasizes Jesus' ultimate authority and judgment, reinforcing the hosts' focus on His sovereignty.Closing Prayer (01:27:54 - 01:28:47)* The Iron King prays for listeners to seek righteousness, rely on Jesus, and raise families to love Him.* Prays for safety for Dusty in Chicago and the hosts' travels, asking for God's blessing on the “Rube Nation.”Call to Action* Visit kingsplaining.com or kingsplaining.substack.com for more content.* Like, share, subscribe, and comment to support the podcast.* Buy merchandise to help grow the show.* Spread the word fearlessly: “Be not afraid.

John G. Bourke won the Medal of Honor during the American Civil War.  He stayed in the army and graduated from West Point in 1869.  Between 1869 and 1883, Bourke served on the frontier with much of that time spent as an aide to General George Crook.  Bourke saw action in the Apache Wars and Great Sioux War.  He clashed with Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, and Geronimo.  Bourke was a keen observer and chronicled his varied experiences.  He published them in 1892 under the title of "On the Border With Crook."  This book is a raw, insightful, and fascinating firsthand account of life in America's Old West.

Roderic Crooks is an associate professor in the Department of Informatics at the University of California, Irvine. His research examines how the use of digital technology by public institutions contributes to the minoritization of working-class communities of color. His current project explores how community organizers in working-class communities of color use data for activist projects, even as they dispute the proliferation of data-intensive technologies in education, law enforcement, financial services, and other vital sites of public life. He has published extensively in HCI, STS, and social science venues on topics including political theories of online participation, equity of access to information and media technologies, and document theory. He is the author Access Is Capture: How Edtech Reproduces Racial Inequality, published in 2024 by the University of California Press (https://www.ucpress.edu/books/access-is-capture/paper). Access is Capture Racially and economically segregated schools across the United States have hosted many interventions from commercial digital education technology (edtech) companies who promise their products will rectify the failures of public education. Edtech's benefits are not only trumpeted by industry promoters and evangelists but also vigorously pursued by experts, educators, students, and teachers. Why, then, has edtech yet to make good on its promises? In Access Is Capture, Roderic N. Crooks investigates how edtech functions in Los Angeles public schools that exclusively serve Latinx and Black communities. These so-called urban schools are sites of intense, ongoing technological transformation, where the tantalizing possibilities of access to computing meet the realities of structural inequality. Crooks shows how data-intensive edtech delivers value to privileged individuals and commercial organizations but never to the communities that hope to share in the benefits. He persuasively argues that data-drivenness ultimately enjoins the public to participate in a racial project marked by the extraction of capital from minoritized communities to enrich the tech sector.Links:Amazon listing for Access Is CaptureUniversity of California Press page for Access Is CaptureAuthor's personal websiteTalks and events from Civics of Technology featuring Roderic N.

June. 1962. Two men do the impossible: break Out of Alcatraz. The legendary escape almost immediately caught the public's imagination, becoming fodder for TV, film, and prose. Maybe you've encountered a few of these stories; maybe you haven't. Whatever the case, you certainly have not read an interpretation like the Oni Press comic from Christopher Cantwell and Tyler Crook. Their Out of Alcatraz begins in the crashing waters outside the prison. From there, it dips into a storm of speculation, terror, and hope. Through their story, Cantwell and Crook explore a critical moment in the American narrative. The Civil Rights movement hasn't quite popped off. John F. Kennedy still stands righteously in the White House. The confidence of Post-war America is about to burst. Three criminals taste freedom with all its bitterness and desperately attempt to choke it down. This week's podcast considers the American story and those who were left out of it or forced from it. We chat with Cantwell and Crook about the real men who broke free from Alcatraz and the fictional men they became in Cantwell and Crook's imaginations. We discuss the allure of prison narratives and the cells we all find ourselves in at some point. Issues one and two of Out of Alcatraz are now available wherever rad comics are sold, and issue three will arrive in shops on May 21st. Continue this conversation by following Christopher Cantwell on BlueSky and Tyler Crook on BlueSky, Instagram, and his Website. Also, you can listen to his music through his Bandcamp page (although it's also available on Spotify, Apple Music, and the like).

But he left the mafia to become a paramedic, get married, and have children. It was a life he kept from his family for decades, until Kenny's drug addiction forced him to reveal his past deeds.
