What is that sound you hear as you read this? Are you feeling that smell in the air? There is a bright light and a crashing wave, and that can only mean that The Fire and Water Podcast Network has opened their portal into our studio! And walking out of that portal, is Ryan Daly, the host of Cheers Cast, Batman Knightcast, Fire and Water Records, and many other shows. What fresh hell will he bring to us? I guess we should describe the attitude that Ryan Daly entered with. I am not going to say it was manly or regal, but there are few other words I can use without opening a thesaurus. He did demand a glass of Perrie and proceded to dump it onto Jeff's head. We do not know why. This entrance did leave us with fear and a sense of unease. Jeff, now cold and wet and with a fear of the French, ran off to hide in the bathroom. He would not come out until the "popping and sidelong glances" stopped. He has been having a rough week, so we let him cool down. Returning back to the podcasting studio, I noticed that Ryan had taken off his shirt and was wearing a complex headphone array that covered his eyes. He assured me that he would still be able to read the computer screen and that this just made him feel more comfortable. It made me feel like I needed an adult in the room. With Jeff still in the bathroom, and me in the corner, quacking with fear, Ryan became impatient and angry. We always lay out a spread of pancakes for our guests, but the visitor from the Fire and Water network was having none of our "carby bribes", and proceeded to knock it all on the ground. Now the cat was out of the bag. Literally. He had brought a bag filled with angry cats. We never discovered where he got them or how he transported them legally across state lines, but here we were. I also noticed that Ryan was dosing them with a catnip/cocaine/Red Bull concoction that could not be legal or healthy. In the end, we had no choice but to shoot tranquilizers on all the cats and Ryan. We later found out that he had grabbed a random drink from the fridge at his network and did not realize it was one of Shaggs 'special' energy drinks. There was a bad reaction to some other medication that Ryan was taking, and it set him off. Prior to hitting our studio, Ryan had knocked over two new start-ups, stole Darrin's Trekker artwork, snagged all of the pants at the Long Box Crusade headquarters, and finally cut up all of the covers at the Outcaster's bunker. Apologies were made. I could be lying about this, but why would I do something like that.   To see the pictures that go with the story:  https://jeffandrickpresent.wordpress.com/2025/07/25/ff-v2-10-paint-it-black/   We also have some merchandise over at Redbubble.

J Darrin Gross I'd like to ask you. Bob Lachance, what is the BIGGEST RISK?     Bob Lachance Well, for my virtual I'll give you two answers. My virtual assistant company, it is AI, so stepping ahead of that, and in being aware of that and training our virtual assistants be to become experts on that, that now gives me the insurance I need to stay in business as a real estate professional, I would say, you know, if your niche is rehabbing properties or niches commercial, train yourself on another niche, just in case something happens, right? So, for instance, in the residential real estate world, wholesaling is starting to become more challenging in some states. So if you're just a wholesaler as an example, start buying and holding to offset those risks. Start learning how to rehab to offset so offset those risks. So it's really putting more tools in your tool belt and whatever industry you're in. So I would say that would be, that'd be something to do. And I started real estate 21 years ago, and where you start is never where you end, right? I mean, you could probably attest to that, Darrin, you probably didn't start in insurance, insurance brokerage and things like that. You've probably gone through a series of experiences for you to get where you are now.   https://revaglobal.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/boblachance/

"Darrin is super comfortable in himself. Darrin knows he is not the powerful one 'cause he is like, ‘I married a witch'…  It's nice to see a dude that loves his wife.” - Marty SchneiderHosts Susan Lambert Hatem and Sharon Johnson team up with Marty Schneider and Dan Ludwig of the Breaking Mayberry podcast for a magical, hilarious crossover!

He shares how setting the tone for the day—creatively and energetically—has shaped his approach to solving problems and leading high-performing teams.On the business side, the conversation gets tactical as Darrin lays out the MSP challenges he's tackling: client security, talent retention, and the need to move from reactive to proactive cybersecurity strategies.

You'll hear how her team has achieved a 95% staff retention rate and how small, intentional acts—like student-written postcards of appreciation and teacher shoutouts—help fuel a positive culture of gratitude.Shauna also shares her approach to being present in the building, the importance of hallway zones and rolling desks, and how she's using data, teacher voice, and intentional leadership to make a lasting difference for her students and staff.About Shauna Haney: Before becoming the principal of Ogden High School, Shauna Haney served as an assistant principal and taught exercise science, health, special education, and physical education. She's a two-time Teacher of the Year and received a Distinguished Leadership Award in 2014. Known for her forward-thinking leadership, Shauna helped Ogden become one of Utah's first schools to implement a no cell phone policy. Her focus on building a strong, supportive school culture has led to an impressive 90–95% staff retention rate post-COVID, and under her guidance, the school has made tremendous gains in literacy, graduation, PBIS, and talent development. Shauna credits the school's success to the powerful synergy between staff, students, and a deeply supportive community.Email Shauna: haneys@ogdensd.orgBooks Mentioned:The Wonder Drug: 7 Scientifically Proven Ways That Serving Others Is the Best Medicine for Yourself – By Stephen Trzeciak & Anthony MazzarelliRerouting: Resilience Tools and Tactics – By Duncan KirkwoodDriven by Data: A Practical Guide to Improve Instruction– By Paul Bambrick-Santoyo

“I'm a deep cuts person — the hits get you there, but the album cuts keep you.”Perfectly timed for Canada Day, this episode wraps up Sara J and Darrin's epic two-part conversation with a deep dive into their shared love for The Tragically Hip. Sara shares the recent rediscovery of a 2003 Gord Downie solo show in Buffalo, while Darrin traces how learning to code sparked his journey into archiving live music—starting with Boston indie band Wheat, and later expanding to The Spoons, Rheostatics, Bourbon Tabernacle Choir and of course, The Tragically Hip.The two explore how last fall's Hip docuseries inspired the now-thriving Hip archive (which—hard to believe—isn't even a year old). Sara gushes about how she's used the archive for numerous creative projects, and Darrin reflects on the generosity of tapers and the band's openness to live recording over the years.They lovingly nerd out over stats and setlists—Darrin's seen 129 of the ~180 Hip songs live across 34 shows—and talk about the live albums that shaped his listening, from Peter Gabriel's Plays Live to Dire Straits' Alchemy and Genesis's Three Sides Live. And yes, they reveal their favorite Hip records—Sara's pick? In Violet Light (of course).From there, the conversation winds through Darrin's time playing in his own band, Tempus Fugit, and how recording albums like Shallow Water Blackout reshaped the way he listens to music. (Highly recommended listening, by the way.)To close, things turn tender and deeply personal. Darrin shares the one show he regrets missing, flipping the question to Sara J—who opens up about the loss of her father, how it distanced her from music and The Hip for years, and the unexpected ways that reconnecting through the docuseries, working with jD from TTH Top Forty Countdown, and a whole lot of healing brought her full circle.Where you can find this week's guest:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/darrincappe/The Hip Archive: https://www.thehiparchive.com/index2.shtmlHave a show to contribute?

In part one of this epic two-part conversation, Darrin and Sara J dive deep into a rich and winding musical landscape.They explore the power of thoughtful feedback—from trusted sources—and how it can support the musicians in your life, and the importance of staying open to it yourself.Darrin reflects on his lifelong love affair with music, tracing it back to the nostalgic albums his parents played—records that have become part of his DNA. Born at a time when some of the most iconic music was not only being released but also performed live, Darrin walks us through his musical journey: 
From 70's prog rock to '80s new wave (and how one inspired the other) to his very first album purchase (which he still owns!) to a concert calendar that's still stacked decades later.He shares stories from his first live show—The Who in October 1982 at Toronto's Exhibition Stadium—complete with a rare Joe Jackson opening set (thanks to The Clash playing SNL that night instead). The night would later be memorialized in a photo inside the sleeve of Jackson's 80/86 live album.We talk local shows, backstage moments, and what it's like to catch bands just before they hit their upward trajectory.
He also opens up about the raw masculine energy of early Tragically Hip shows, the role music plays in connecting with his kids, and a few of the music websites he contributes to (more on that in Part Two!).You'll also hear the origin story behind the lyric:
 “Everyone has their breaking point—for me it's spiders, for you it's me.” and its connection to the 1977 sci-fi film—"The People That Time Forgot"We covered a lot, but there's still more ground to explore—don't miss Part Two next week!Where you can find this week's guest:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/darrincappe/The Hip Archive: https://www.thehiparchive.com/index2.shtmlNorthern Wish - A Canadian's Perspective on Music: https://www.northernwish.com/category/genesis/Donate to DATC Media Company: https://datcmediacompany.com/supportGive the gift of Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Datcmediacompany/giftThe DATC Media Podcast Family: https://datcmediacompany.com/podcastsJoin us for "Sunday Evening Jam"! https://www.youtube.com/@dewvre1974Get your early bird tickets for "A Celebration of The Hip for ALS" on October 4th: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/a-celebration-of-the-hip-for-als-tickets-1137838598879?aff=oddtdtcreator&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR3OiQE1P_UgOCfqBQK6pp8HQofDQaOXoVIPqxtgaXltv481zOuDOeDB6Q8_aem_JBfNSyaAXNOGEAt-NZAQoQWant to donate or sponsor "A Celebration of The Hip for ALS" on October 4th?
