Das Café Central Perk in Friends, MacLaren's Pub in How I Met Your Mother und Luke's Diner in der Serie Gilmore Girls haben etwas gemeinsam: Sie sind alle "Third Places", auf Deutsch dritte Orte. Damit sind Orte außerhalb des Zuhauses und der Arbeit gemeint, an denen sich Menschen begegnen, gemeinsam Zeit verbringen und sich entspannen können. Warum nicht nur Charaktere in Serien, sondern jeder einen dritten Ort haben sollte, warum nicht gleich jedes Café einer ist und wie man seinen eigenen dritten Ort finden kann, darum dreht sich die neue Folge von "Besser leben".

Episode 200 marks a major milestone—not just for the podcast, but for an entire movement that's reshaping how investors think about capital, impact, and stewardship.In this celebration episode, Faith Driven Investor founders Henry Kaestner and Luke Roush take us back to the very beginning—from their first meeting at Joe's Diner in Durham (famous for hot dogs with mustard, chili, or just hot dog) to building Sovereign's Capital and eventually launching a global movement that now spans nearly 100 countries.The Origin Story Behind the Movement:How a matchmaker pastor named J.D. Grear connected two investors who would change everythingThe "Eastern Block Bodega" problem: too little product on the shelf and no line of customersWhy turning away 99 out of 100 entrepreneurs led to a "heartbreaking" realizationThe Holy Spirit moment that shifted everything from scarcity to abundance thinkingFrom Fund to Movement:The transition from Sovereign's Capital to Faith Driven Entrepreneur to Faith Driven InvestorWhy they decided to expose their own LPs to competing fund managersThe infamous John Porter story from Rwanda and what it taught them about being "tight-gripped"How a gathering at a French bistro with 25-30 leaders sparked something biggerThe Philosophy That Changed Everything: Henry and Luke dive deep into the shift from traditional "biblically responsible investing" (focused on what to avoid) to "faith-driven investing" (focused on what to support). This isn't just about screening out "sin stocks"—it's about actively seeking investments that promote human flourishing and build God's kingdom.Global Vision and What's Next:Why Africa represents the most exciting investment opportunity of our generationThe math that doesn't add up: $100+ trillion in managed assets globally, but only a couple hundred billion in explicitly faith-aligned productsWhy 60% of Americans identify as Christian but the investment numbers don't reflect itThe "top of the second inning" reality: we're still incredibly early in this movementKey Insights for Investors:The power of being known for what you're FOR rather than what you're againstWhy "one size fits one" when it comes to faith-driven investing approachesThe importance of seeking Godly counsel, prayer, and Scripture in investment decisionsHow spiritual integration looks different across asset classes (even oil and gas)

The American singer songwriter Suzanne Vega released her first studio album almost exactly 40 years ago – and it soon found an audience, particularly here in the UK where it sold more than 300, 000 copies. Listeners responded to her understated, acoustic sound and thoughtful lyrics, in songs such as Marlene on the Wall and Luka. Another of her songs, Tom's Diner, took on a life of its own. It's been sampled by dozens of artists and one remix became a global hit.Suzanne recently released her tenth studio album, Flying with Angels, and will be embarking on a major tour with dates in England and Scotland later this year. Her mix of music includes Bartok, Rachmaninov, Philip Glass and Debussy. Producer: Clare Walker

This episode takes you to the places where a pair of directors grew up. Coincidentally, these places are also the stomping grounds for Your Humble Hosts. We begin with MEAN STREETS (1973) . directed and co-written by Martin Scorsese, which is set in New York City. (Yeah, it was filmed in Los Angeles, but they found good locations so you don't really notice.) Scorsese weaves a tale through several incidents which were likely lifted from his life. In Part 2, we'll go to Baltimore and have a bite at a DINER.

From New York we head down to Baltimore, Maryland for DINER (1982) written and directed by Barry Levinson. This film was, in fact, shot in and around Baltimore, and Claude takes the time to flex his Baltimore geography knowledge. (By the way, when you're visiting the gravesite he mentions during the episode, you can also visit the grave of John Wilkes Booth, perhaps the best-marked unmarked grave in America.)COMING ATTRACTIONS: Next time we'll be doing a follow-up to Reel 12, with more Backstage Drama, with a slight twist. We'll start with TOPSY TURVY (1999) and move on to THE CLOUDS OF SILLS MARIA (2014). Join us, won't you?

Very often on TatD, I seek out guests I don't know all that well because it's fun to get to chat with and learn about new people, but sometimes it's fun to sit down with friends you're known a long, long time. And such is the case on this episode with my two guests, both of whom play in a Philly band I have been close with for twenty years. We've played countless shows together, in front of thousands of people, and they've both played music with me in my bands and projects. One of them has produced records of mine, one has done a vast amount of the graphic design on my projects. I'm talking about my longtime pals from the band Jealousy Curve - lead vocalist Michael Leavy and guitarist Steven LaFashia.. known more commonly to most as Leavy and Fash.I met up with these two at one of my favorite spots in Delco: the Country Squire, the spot of many post-show meals back in the day. The place looked great after all these years, if a little desolate, as we were the only customers in the dining room at noon on a weekday. Times are tough for some of these classic restaurants, I'm not gonna lie. All the more reason to have our chat at this beloved meeting place.Over chicken & waffles and omelettes, we talked about the Jealousy Curve's origins and I marveled at the fact that they have weathered some of life's ultimate challenges, with some substantial breaks in their timeline, and yet have re-emerged in 2025 (after our sold out co-bill at Ardmore Music Hall back in December of '24) more determined than ever to do the thing they've been doing together since Leavy and Fash met on the first day high school -  collaborate on making music that is simultaneously heavy, beautiful, and thought provoking..  as good as rock music gets.I hope you enjoy this deep dive into the life and times of one of Philadelphia's most beloved rock bands!~ JKF ❤️

Over 130 judges have signed on to a "friend of the court" brief to the Federal trial court overseeing the prosecution of Wisconsin Judge. Hannah "Diner" Dugan on charges of criminal obstruction of ICE agents seeking the arrest of an illegal criminal migrant, as well as criminal concealment of that migrant.  The amici brief supported by the 130 judges argues that Judge Dugan is immune from criminal prosecution under the doctrine of judicial immunity.The only problem? Every one of these judges is lying--being thoroughly intellectually dishonest with the court in filing their amici while knowing full well that judicial immunity protects judges from CIVIL lawsuits but not from CRIMINAL PROSECUTION. Join me as I break it all down into plain English!Get Your FREE Copy of Our Best-Selling Book: "The Law of Self Defense: Principles"Visit Here: https://lawofselfdefense.com/getthebook"You are wise to buy this material.

Summary The conversation covers various aspects of self-defense, particularly focusing on the legal implications and societal perceptions surrounding the use of firearms in self-defense situations. It discusses specific cases, the importance of having legal support, and the role of firearms in ensuring personal safety. The dialogue also touches on road rage incidents and the emotional dynamics involved in such confrontations, emphasizing the need for responsible gun ownership and training. Additionally, the conversation reflects on the significance of Memorial Day in relation to gun rights advocacy and the ongoing legal battles surrounding firearm regulations. In this conversation, Mark Walters and Mark Smith discuss the recent developments surrounding the Second Amendment, particularly focusing on the Fifth Circuit's controversial decision regarding suppressors. They analyze the implications of the Trump administration's position on gun rights, the disconnect in government regulations, and the broader context of Second Amendment rights. The discussion highlights the importance of legal precedents and the ongoing battle for gun rights in America. Takeaways Self-defense cases are complex and vary greatly by situation. Having legal support is crucial in self-defense scenarios. Firearms can be essential for home defense and personal safety. Media often overlooks positive self-defense stories. Public perception of firearms is influenced by societal narratives. Victimhood culture can affect views on self-defense. Road rage incidents can escalate quickly and require caution. Emotional states can impact decision-making in self-defense situations. Responsible gun ownership includes training and awareness. Advocacy for gun rights is vital in the current political climate. The Fifth Circuit's decision has sparked significant controversy. The Trump administration's position marks a significant shift in favor of gun rights. Suppressors are now recognized as protected arms under the Second Amendment. The right to acquire firearms is essential to the Second Amendment. Training with firearms is now considered a protected right. The burden of proof for gun control laws has shifted to the government. The National Firearms Act's regulations on suppressors are under scrutiny. There is a disconnect in the government's stance on suppressors. Legal precedents play a crucial role in shaping Second Amendment rights. The future of suppressor legislation remains uncertain but hopeful.

It's a simple plan this week: We're just looking at what was on television in late May of 1981. Including: A bizarre Happy Days musical, a horrifying Waltons episode, Mork in a bubble, skydiving Hulk, something called "Women Who Rate a 10," Bo Duke with amnesia, Daisy Duke on Enos, Batman on Fantasy Island, a Muppet on a medical drama, a dead parrot at Mel's Diner, and way too many variety shows (from Bob Hope, Steve Allen, Robert Klein, the Gatlin Brothers, and the Mandrell Sisters). It all sounds wonderful, doesn't it? You should probably cancel Netflix and invest in a time machine. The Mayor of Chickentown on The Doctor's Beard podcast! And our regular links...

"Alice" is a sitcom that aired on CBS from 1976-1985. The show is based on the 1974 Martin Scorsese film, "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore". The story follows Alice Hyatt, a widow who moves from New Jersey to Phoenix, Arizona, with her son, Tommy. She then takes a job at a roadside eatery named Mel's Diner. One of the show's catchphrases, "Kiss my grits!" remains a part of the cultural lexicon. The show was a ratings success, especially during its early seasons. Alice's nine season run made it one of the longer-running sitcoms of the '70s and '80s. Despite having such a long run the show didn't recieve much syndication and is rarely seen modern day. Will this show hold up with the S1E1 boys nearly 50 years since the show premiered? Listen as they deep dive the show's pilot episode.

Welly, welly, welly, welly, welly, welly, well. To what do we owe the extreme pleasure of this surprising visit? But of course, it's the release of a new episode of “The Diner.”

Legendary singer-songwriter Suzanne Vega looks back at her remarkable career — and forward to her new album, Flying with Angels, her first collection of original songs in nearly a decade. From the moment she emerged in the 1980s with her self-titled debut and follow-up Solitude Standing, Vega has occupied a singular space in popular music. Known for her literate lyrics, calm delivery, and understated innovation, she became an unlikely pop star with songs like “Luka” — a devastating portrait of abuse — and “Tom's Diner,” which began as an a cappella sketch and became a surprise dance hit, later used in the development of the MP3 format. Vega discusses how those early hits shaped her identity, and how she's maintained a relationship with her past work while continuing to evolve as an artist. She shares stories behind her biggest songs, her longtime collaborations (including with producer and ex-husband Mitchell Froom), and her connection to a vibrant downtown New York songwriting community that included figures like Jack Hardy and Fast Folk magazine. She also reflects on the new material, including the haunting “Mariaupol,” inspired by the war in Ukraine, and “Rats,” inspired during the lockdown in New York. These songs mark a subtle shift for Vega: from her usual allegorical storytelling to more direct commentary and bearing witness to events in real time.
