Most people think discipline is about willpower. Ryan Holiday knows better — it's about habit. After writing multiple bestselling books on Stoicism and spending decades studying history's highest performers, the author of The Obstacle Is The Way and Ego Is The Enemy has cracked the code on why the world's hardest workers aren't just talented or lucky. They've built systems that make discipline inevitable. In this raw conversation, Ryan breaks down the exact frameworks used by Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus to stay calm under fire, make sharper decisions under pressure, and most importantly — get things done. We dive into why discipline isn't something you are but something you do, how the Stoics battled procrastination (Seneca said all fools are always getting ready to start), and why negative visualization beats positive manifestation every time. Ryan reveals his actual research process (analog note cards, not AI shortcuts), why he reads the same books over and over, and how to inoculate yourself against audience capture when everyone's telling you what to create. But this isn't theory — it's applied philosophy. We get into why waking up early is useless if you stay up till 2 AM, how to make hard things black and white so you can't rationalize exceptions, and why your calendar should have large blocks of white space, not meetings. Ryan walks through his panic rules from coaching the LA Rams, why ego destroys more empires than external obstacles, and how he went from running publicity stunts and media manipulation campaigns to building one of the most disciplined creative practices in the world. If you've ever felt like discipline is this vague thing you either have or don't, or if you're tired of procrastinating on the life you know you should be building, this episode will change how you think about work, focus, and what it actually takes to win. Protect what you own. Next makes it fast, simple, and painless.

Drawing from Cory's final eBook, How to Sheath Your Sword in a Violent Loving Culture, they explore why meekness is not weakness, but strength under control—and why it may be the posture Christians need most in a polarized world.You'll hear:⚔️ Why “Blessed are the meek” was a radical, counter-cultural statement

Merry Christmas Eve! It is officially time to wrap up Anna and Ravens Unwrapped series for the season, but we saved the best for last! Dominick The Donkey (The Italian Christmas Donkey)

It really is the most wonderful time of the year, and Mike and Joe lean fully into the holiday spirit with this festive episode of the Friday Night Karaoke Podcast. A Very Merry Friday Night Karaoke Christmas brings together performances from the FNK Facebook group’s Christmas Theme of the Week, mixing classic holiday standards, comedy favorites, and even an original Christmas song. The result is exactly what FNK does best - warmth, humor, talent, and a lot of personality. This episode is less about perfection and more about joy. You will hear laughter, behind-the-scenes banter, and genuine reactions as Mike and Joe celebrate the community, the moderators, and the creativity that comes out in full force during the holidays. Featured Performances: Bonnie Richelle – “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” by Andy WilliamsA perfect opener that immediately sets the tone. Mike and Joe call out how effortlessly Bonnie brings classic Christmas warmth and why this song feels like the true starting gun for the season. Karen Pavkov – “Santa Baby” by Eartha KittA longtime FNK moderator favorite, Karen leans into her signature jazzy, crooner style. The hosts joke about finally listening to the lyrics a little too closely while still being completely impressed by her delivery and confidence. Angel Lark – “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch” from How the Grinch Stole ChristmasOne of the most talked-about performances of the episode. Angel does not just sing the song - she fully acts it out. Mike and Joe rave about her theatrical commitment, expressive delivery, and how she turns the performance into a full character piece. Marc Cross – “Christmas Cookies” by George StraitA surprise hit for the hosts, especially for Mike, who admits this song single-handedly nudged him further toward appreciating country music. Marc’s playful performance and total ownership of the song make it an instant FNK favorite. Daniel Kreitz – “Santa’s Gone Wild” (Original Song)A standout moment in the episode. Daniel’s original Christmas song tells a hilarious and vivid story about a runaway inflatable Santa. Mike and Joe are genuinely impressed by the songwriting, humor, and polish, calling it legit, memorable, and something they want shared far beyond FNK. Heather Gurnari – “The Chimney Song” by Bob RiversA comedic show-stealer. Heather completely transforms her voice, leaving both hosts stunned. They highlight her vocal range, character work, and how unrecognizable she is compared to her usual serious singing style. Patrick Holstein – “Dominick the Donkey” by Lou MontePure nostalgia and crowd-pleasing fun. Mike and Joe talk about how this is the kind of song that would instantly turn a karaoke bar into a full-room singalong, and how Patrick’s version captures that energy perfectly. Joe Rubin – “Let It Snow” by Dean MartinClosing the episode on a smooth, classic note, Joe brings crooner vibes and a relaxed, fireside feel. Mike openly praises the performance as a textbook example of smart karaoke song selection and delivery. This episode captures everything that makes Friday Night Karaoke special - not just great singing, but personality, experimentation, laughter, and community. Whether you are here for the classics, the comedy, or the unexpected originals, A Very Merry Friday Night Karaoke Christmas is a reminder that the holidays sound better when everyone sings along.Love what you hear?

In this episode, Dr. Killeen shares a simple (and funny) story about a donkey, a tiger, and a lion that carries a surprisingly powerful lesson. He connects it to modern life, especially social media, where arguments are loud, endless, and often pointless. The takeaway is a reminder that wisdom isn't about winning every debate—it's about protecting your peace and knowing when to disengage. A calm, grounded listen for anyone feeling worn down by noise, negativity, or online drama.

Everyone loves to romanticize nonprofits. Cute animals, smiling founders, feel-good posts. But behind the scenes? It's brutal. In this 12 Days of Giving episode, we rip the filter off and walk straight into the chaos, cost, and emotional weight of running a real nonprofit — through the lens of a donkey rescue that now cares for around 100 donkeys plus a full farm of other animals.Sara Weldon never planned on saving donkeys for a living. She and her husband Rick were “hobby farm” people in Florida — until one traumatic night when their donkey gave birth and then tried to kill her baby. They grabbed the foal (Cash), raised him in the house like a newborn, and accidentally turned him into a social media star. That led Sara down a rabbit hole into the ugly world of donkey abuse and the slaughter pipeline in America. The plan to breed quickly turned into a mission to rescue, sell everything, and move to Tennessee to build what became Cash's Crew Rescue.From there, it got real. Sara walks us through how hard it actually is to form a legitimate 501(c)(3): months of paperwork, state filings, IRS hoops, building a board, learning to live with full financial transparency, and even watching early board members cycle off as the organization evolved. It's not just “file a form and boom, nonprofit.” It's governance, accountability, and people management — which is often way harder than the animals.Then we get into the grind. A “normal” day means feeding 100 donkeys plus horses, cows, goats, chickens, ducks, geese, and a pile of dogs — twice a day. It's special feed for neglected animals, checking every body for wounds, hauling hay with a tractor, vet visits, constant castrations for incoming jacks, running a merch store, shipping orders, answering 30–40 texts at a time, managing social media, and still finding time to fundraise just to keep the whole thing alive. Meanwhile, she's often forgetting to eat while making sure every animal is cared for.I step in with the money truth: it costs about $4 a day to feed a single donkey — and that's before barns, trails, housing, staff, or expansion. If a nonprofit can't build sustainable income streams, it will burn out its founder and its donors. We talk about what sustainable actually means, how we're designing CCR to generate its own revenue over time (lodging, retreats, weddings, etc.), and what questions you should be asking before you donate or start your own nonprofit. If you've ever given to a nonprofit — or thought about starting one — you need to hear this.Watch the full episode on YouTube: 

Standing in Bethlehem's ancient cave, it's easy to see why tradition loves the image of the Lamb of God born among temple lambs—yet every nativity scene adds an ox and donkey the Gospels never mention. In this Christmas reflection, Greg explores how early Fathers like Origen and Ambrose saw Isaiah 1:3 fulfilled in these humble beasts recognizing their Creator while humanity missed Him. Discover layers of Jew/Gentile unity, creation testifying (Romans 1 & 8), Eden's harmony restored with the New Adam and Eve, Christ's transformation of the "unclean" donkey, and how pagan myth becomes historical fact in the Incarnation—the ultimate Lamb who redeems us all.

Contingency planning is not a sign of doubt; it's a wise way to prepare for real-life unpredictability. When faced with obstacles, remember to shake it off and take one step at a time toward your goals. Planning for failure means preparing for success; create backup plans that support your main objectives. A solid plan is good, but a flexible plan that accommodates life's surprises is even better. Identify three potential challenges to your goals and develop simple Plan Bs to keep moving forward.

Soon after USAID was closed in February, speculation circulated that China would move quickly to fill the void left by the United States. That did not happen. While the Chinese did step in to provide modest additional funding for a handful of programs, like demining initiatives in Cambodia and support for the Africa CDC in Addis Ababa, overall, there's been no significant change in China's foreign aid programs. That did not surprise Alicia Chen, a PhD candidate at Stanford University, who noted in a recent Foreign Affairs article that Beijing is very tactical with where and how it distributes overseas development assistance. Alicia joins Eric to discuss Beijing's foreign aid strategy and how it differs from other major donors.

USS Sea Fox (SS-402), a Balao-class submarine, was a vessel of the United States Navy named for the sea fox, a large shark, also called the thresher shark, which frequents the coast of Europe and the Americas. Sea Fox was laid down on 2 November 1943 at the Portsmouth Navy Yard in Kittery, Maine; launched on 28 March 1944, sponsored by Mrs. Robert N. Robertson, widow of Lieutenant Robert N. Robertson, who survived the sinking of USS Squalus only to be lost during the war as executive officer of USS Argonaut. The submarine was commissioned on 13 June 1944.Archie Comics' Sonic the Hedgehog #4200:00 Intro04:10 In Every Kingdom There Must Exist A Little Chaos!

"I was drawn to the call of the Rag and Bone man, and I thought of the man himself, beyond the call - and imagined my own best beloved Great Grandmother and the stories she told me of getting a Donkey Stone from the Rag and Bone man, and scrubbing her step clean.  "It must have been important to her, because she told me about it as though it were a ritual. So I wrote her song, as she might sing to him.  Maybe she called him Donkey Stone.  "Maybe she dreamed of running away and living a life on the road, returning to the ways of her ancestors before her, who were travellers.  "So this song is for Catherine Lightfoot - or Granny Dean as she was to me." Bream rag and bone man reimagined by Subphotic.

  Lately I have been spending time out on my Aunt's ranch in Joshua Tree, California, and the rhythm of the animals has offered me a new perspective on how we respond to the boundaries in our lives. Watching the horses move through their space, communicate their needs, and express their energy reminded me how easy it is to accept certain limits without ever pausing to ask whether they still feel aligned. Their behavior became an unexpected mirror, showing me where I have honored barriers that were never truly mine or that no longer support who I am becoming. Their exuberance and clarity sparked something in me, and it led to a few honest reflections about how I define freedom and success. As I witnessed one strong and determined horse rear up just enough to press her chest through the electric fence until it snapped, I felt this surge of admiration and recognition. There are moments in life when we feel something calling us forward, even if others do not understand it or caution us to stay put. Sometimes the only way to understand what is possible is to trust our instincts and step into the unknown with confidence and curiosity. On today's Wise Walk we will explore the barriers we have been honoring, the beliefs that might be holding us back, and the freedom available to us when we choose to move beyond them. Is there a self imposed barrier you honor that no longer feels aligned, and are you ready to let it go so you can run free? How can you build your confidence and communicate clearly so this barrier no longer holds you back, whether it is mental or physical? Are you ready to release any naysayers in your life and trust what is possible on the other side of the barrier? Is it worth it to you to cross this barrier, and what limiting beliefs are keeping you from taking that step? If fear of failure is present, can you let it soften so your momentum and desire can carry you forward? What mental or physical barriers feel most constraining right now, and how does your definition of success influence whether you stay within them or move beyond them? What becomes possible for you when you define success on your terms and allow yourself to feel free and expansive? Where in your life can you embody the majestic power of a horse and invite more freedom into your daily rhythm? What vision of success feels true to you, and how can you move through obstacles with strength, grace, and authenticity? I hope you tune in next Thursday for another Wise Walk. As always, I would love to hear what you took away from today's episode. Feel free to reach out and message me. Be sure to break those barriers that do not feel good to you anymore and let yourself run free with that majestic power that you already innately have. In this episode: [02:34] I break down the fencing on the ranch and how going from pipe corral to an expanded electric fenced area was a plan to give the horses more area to roam. [04:12] My Aunt put up four volt electric fencing which the horses have used before. [05:01] When we opened the gates, the horses were bucking and running and having the best time in their expanded area.  [06:06] The horse who was the boss was thinking about breaking free in spite of my Aunt's warnings. Suddenly, she pressed her chest against the fence and it snapped.  [07:07] All of the horses and the Donkey were running wild on the property. They were still contained, because there was an additional fence line. [08:04] They had so much joy with the additional space and free access to the feed station.  [09:03] If we have the drive and know the goal, nothing can stand in our way. The horse's example creates a great reminder for us to pursue our dreams and authentic desires. [11:16] For different periods of my life, self-limiting beliefs have gotten in my head. I've tried some of the advice I've been given when I became a self-employed author and podcaster, but some things don't align with me. [12:10] One of the things I've learned from this experience by reflecting is knowing what success means to me. [13:17] The self-imposed barriers that we might be living by could be due to our own internal beliefs or external pressures. We get to decide which ones we're going to keep. [14:29] There's always a leader who will break through first and show us what's possible. It's up to us to decide if we want to follow. [15:28] Remember that you are powerful and have a spirited personality just like a horse. Others are attracted to you when they see you running free and tackling your life. [17:19] My Aunt and I are still laughing about this incident, and we're giving kudos to the horses and the donkey for being themselves. [18:19] Can you support other people when you see them getting ready to break a barrier? [19:04] I feel myself gearing up to break some barriers that no longer serve me.

Join me as I review The Search for Power edited by Margaret Weis live! Share your thoughts on this second Tales of the War of Souls anthology, released by Wizards of the Coast on April 4, 2004. You can buy a copy here: https://amzn.to/4pq15AC  https://youtube.com/live/BWdlgmkHRnc About The Search for Power The latest Dragonlance anthology, featuring an introduction by Margaret Weis. This newest anthology focuses on the lives and ways of dragons in the era following the end of the New York Times best-selling War of Souls trilogy by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. Edited by Margaret Weis and filled with a dozen stories from both well-known Dragonlance authors and a few newcomers, this is the first anthology to feature stories that take place in the current Dragonlance time period. Review Osuin's Treasure by Mark Sehestedt Subcommander Maros, Knight of the Lily Uthun, Knight of Takhisis Aithan, squire to Sil Euric of Solanthus Djerid, Nerakan Barbarian, guide, scout Illus Goiar Sir Isurlak, Order of the Skull Toras Cloram Baren, Lord Osuin's son, Sable's dragon spawn This is a great way to start an anthology! What a good story. It's filled with tension and fear, nearly palpable! We pick up with a Dark Knight company who came across a Solamnic knight company, and defeated them. One wagon went over a cliff as they were traveling toward Sanction. The manifest stated something about Lord Osuin't Treasure, but there was nothing in the wagon. Only a squire of a Solamnic Knight survived, and he wasn't speaking. They found a dying Knight who, when they told him the cage in the back of the wagon was empty, replied they would all die. But no one would say what the treasure was. Subcommander Maros took a finger from the squire, but he only repeated the oath. They began to travel toward Sanction and the Treasure caught up to them and started killing. Again, the tension of this unseen creature was great, and as men started dying, it only escalated. The creature wiped out the entire Dark Knight company. When Maros came to, he was being wanted by the squire. The treasure was Lord Osuin's son, taken by Sable the Black Dragon Overlord and turned into one of its Dragon Spawn. It left the squire alive for the kindnesses the squire showed it while transporting it. But Maros was dying, so the squire told him what and who the treasure was. This was well worth a read and I just love horror stories like this one. Loyalty by Richard A. Knaak Captain Salvas, minotaur captain, silver dragon Shield Commander Drako Jek, first mate, minotaur Volcanus, red dragon Oh man, this was great! A minotaur ship was scouring the seas looking for rebels and defectors, and arrived at an island as a storm set in. As the minotaurs were disembarking their captain, Salvas, left ahead of the others and found a cave with a massive dragon totem in it. He transformed into his true form, a silver dragon named Shield. He had been looking for the skull of his mate, killed by a red dragon named Volcanus, who was also killed by Malystrix. Shield could feel the death of Malys somehow, but when he went to destroy the totem, the spirit of Volcanus appeared. He would let Shield's mate's spirit leave the totem, if Shield let Volcanus' spirit in him as a new body. He refused and he was wounded by the awesome power of the spirit of Volcanus. Then his crew arrived, as he quickly shifted into minotaur form again. They took him to camp at the shore where he was pounded and healed for days. Then they knocked him out and he awoke under a net. They realised he was a dragon and they believed he was going to kill him. When Shield explained what he was doing and why, he told them all to leave so he could free his mates soul. They left on their longboats and Shield returned to succumb to Volcanus. But when he began to enter Shields’ body, he said he would not let his mates go free. Shield struggled, then suddenly the minotaurs all rushed in and started attacking the totem. They lost many of their crew, but the totem was destroyed and Shields’ mate was rescued in death. Shield woke to his first mate who explained the outcome and left the skull for him. They fought for the loyalty of their captain. It was such a moving story about brotherhood and loyalty. It reminded me of being in the military, and what any true friend would do, and I loved it all. Knaak knocks yet another story out of the park. The Dragon's Child by Nancy Varian Berberick Raven Thorn Inferno, red dragon What a fun story. Raven, a human thief, was scouring the mountains around Sanction for a dragon’s den to steal egg shells to sell. Since the return of the gods and magic, they were a premium with wizards for spell components. As he went in he saw the eggs all smashed and draconians entered. He ran from them, with his dragon egg shell, but they were taken by a kapak as he fled in the tunnels that are beneath Sanction. The great red dragon Inferno was returning to her lair when she noticed her eggs destroyed, and decided to try to cut off any escape by entering the tunnels near the lords of doom, but most were collapsed except for the volcanoes themselves. Raven continued to flee the Draconians, running into even more before running into a wyrmling. Apparently one of the dragon’s eggs hatched and the wyrmling followed him. He gave it water and hid it when the draconians got close. Eventually he came out of the tunnels into a massive cavern with treasure and the draconians were there, and started fighting when Inferno arrived and destroyed the draconians. The wyrmling told inferno the human was helping it, and the dragon offered a boon to the human, giving him some treasure and told him the way out. It was a great little tale and now I want a wyrmling. Four Ends by John Helfers Threxellex, red dragon Relk, sivak Gul, minotaur bandit L'Arth, pirate This was a quick tale about revenge. A woman and her son were taken by a red dragon's minion and brought to him. He believed two of his pirates were stealing from him, so he held the son and had the women lie to each of them in turn, convincing them to kill the dragon and each other for the treasure, and to rescue her son. They both agreed separately, greed convincing them of the act. When they got to the cave, the dragon killed them. Then the woman was brought back to the dragon, but she told him that her children were killed and the two pirates had killed them and wronged her. Now it was this dragon’s turn. The sivak and the child turned into silver dragons and killed the red with the woman watching. It was a nice little story that showed even dragons can be tricked, and more, good dragons are willing to work with humans when they are allowed to hunt down and kill evil dragons. I really liked the idea, and the idea of pirate towns in Dragonlance. I don't feel like we have enough of them. At the Water's Edge by Jamie Chambers Anar Sovralian, Qualinesti Elf Ebon Nightshadow, Black Dragon Kerasina, elf Ealthan, elf This was a great story, and I am not sure if it was a dream or not. The Elf Anar was trailing elves, and saw them talk with an individual. He went to the man and cast a charm spell on him to get information about where the elves had gone. With the information he traveled to the former lair of Ebon Nightshadow, a black dragon and former servant of Beryl. He was then caught by elves. He saw his wife, the reason he was searching for the elves, and pleaded with her to leave with him, but she refused. Convinced these elves abducted her, he fought them, only to once again be subdued. She told him that after their son died fighting to allow them to live in the dwarven tunnels, she came out and wanted to fight to reclaim their homeland of Quialinesti. But he believed the Dark Knight and Goblin hoards were too much, so he pleaded with her to leave with him. After she refused he started fighting the elves again, and they beat him down. His wife held him as he passed out and awoke in an alley, as if from a dream. I think this is a great story but the idea of a wife abandoning her husband for nationalism actually bothers me more than anything else. I understand wanting to fight for your homeland, but what then? Who will you share it with? Did you ever love your partner in the first place if you so willingly abandon them? It's tough to think about. Lake of Death by Dan Willis. Tendek, former Knight of Neraka Wylinger, kender Donnala, Tendek's twin sister, former Knight of Neraka I thought this story was going somewhere but I was completely wrong. Twins and former Knights of Neraka were traveling through Qualinesti after treasure seeking in the Plains of Dust with the kinder Wylinger, they came across a band of goblins and a donkey. They were tired of hauling this cart full of loot themselves, so they attacked the goblins, running them off, and took the Donkey. Wylinger named her Lesie, and they continued north. They eventually came to a massive lake with the name of Lake of Death, this is of course former Qualinost. They decided to make camp when they saw a boat, and decided to take it across the lake. Lesie was very difficult to get in the boat as she was afraid of the lake, and it turned out, with cause. The lake was haunted by the spirits of the dead. This freaked out the donkey who kicked the two former Dark Knight sin to the water, refusing to let them on board. As they continued through the lake, the kender convinced the donkey to let them aboard by promising to share their treasure with her. Then once on the other side of the lake, they disembarked and traveled to the green valley beyond. This story had a number of oddities in it. First, the kender got scared from the ghosts in the Lake of Death, but kender are supposed to be fearless, unless they are an afflicted kender, but Wylinger didn't show any signs of being afflicted. Then the donkey being able to understand the kender and humans, even making deals with them was nonsensical. I get that donkeys are known to be stubborn, but promising them food and treasure as if they understand it is ridiculous. Then to end it so abruptly, I wonder what the true purpose of this story was meant to be. The Dragonslayers by Douglas W. Clark Skerrith Dragonslayer Ragweed Pollenflower, kender Ruby Columbine, barmaid Targe, patron Borstan Dunnerth, mayer of Trader's Lot Grot, rancher A dragonslayer named Skerrith came to town and started boasting about his exploits in a tavern. The kender was awestruck and asked for more and more stories as the mayor appeared. He mentioned that the town was suffering over a dragon who had been killing the ranchers’ livestock. They offered the dragonslayer the opportunity to kill the dragon and save the town, for a price of course. THe dragonslayer said he would do it in the morgan and the barmaid backed him up when the patrons all said there were hours of light left to the day. That night the false dragonslayer tried to sneak out of the inn, but was interrupted by someone claiming the dragon had just struck. They all tried to once again get him to go out that night, but he refused and in the morning found his fake Dragonlance gone with the kender. The barmaid insisted ion going with him to find the kender and kill the dragon. As they searched they split up with storm clouds gathering. The dragonslayer found the kender who was making a cage and they heard a scream as they ran toward it, they saw the dragon resting in mud with a claw holding the barmaid down. As lightning flashed, the dragon got up and flew away, with the lightning reflecting off its copper scales. They returned to the inn with the dragon gone, the barmaid and dragonslayer married and took over the inn, and the kender told tales of how he slayed the dragon, with help, every night. It wa sa fun story, about the copper dragon, but I almost would rather have the Dragonslayer be outed, then make a deal with the copper dragon, thereby seeming to be a hero. But it was a fun story none-the-less. Inventory by Jean Rabe Gaspar, Hylar Dwarf Skarn Ironskyll, Niedar Dwarf A red dragon had snatched two dwarves from a mountain and brought them to her hoard. She had taken the hoard from a dead dragon and wanted it inventoried in context with a black dragon. The dwarves worked day and night cataloging the items, terrified of the red dragon, then one day a dwarf brought a magical mirror to the red and it vanished inside of it. The dwarves filled their pockets with as much treasure as they could carry and left to go to their respective town, when they were snatched up again by the black dragon the red was competing with. He thought they were random dwarves as he was scouring the trail the red had found them on. It was a fun little tale about dragons wanting to know exactly what is in their hoard, and its funny to consider they compete with literal lists of items between each other. I enjoyed the tale. Special Delivery by Jeff Grubb Edgar nunce Manifew, Gnome Raeja of the Crimson Sails, Minotaur Pirate Lord Toede What a great story! We get Lord Toede back, and he is in fact alive post War of Souls. The city of Flotsam has turned into a pirate town, led and controlled by Raeja, a minotaur, at the supposed behest of Lord Toede. The tax collector Edgar has learned of Gnomes who want to deliver music boxes to the town, but he knows the town wouldn't want any loud bangs and explosions that are customary with Gnome inventions, so he goes to investigate the goods himself. He discovers they actually work and are quite lovely, so he brings the gnome and his machines to the council, and Toede allows him entry to deliver goods, but Raeja speaks out against it. He demands the gnomes stay over a hundred feet away from the town at all times, except for deliveries, and Toede agrees, so do the gnomes. So when the first shipment comes, it’s pushed down the hill and crashes into the gates, destroying them, followed by many more wagons full of music devices, which all crash in turn. The gnomes are ordered to not use the gates anymore and to keep away from town, so they begin to catapult the deliveries. This infuriates Raeja who goes to collect a militia to eradicate the gnomes, but Edgar asks Toede if he can warn the gnomes. Toede agrees, and when he arrives at their quarry, they seem elated that the minotaurs and pirates are gathering to confront them, he brings Edgar into the town house,which itself catapults up into the air over flotsam where they drop more deliveries onto the minotaur and pirates heads, then crashes into the hillside. They all leave and it turns out Toede was tired of the pirates and used the gnomes to get rid of them. That toede is one sneaky hobgoblin, even in his advanced age. Marine Skies by Lucien Soulban Brysis, Female Dargonesti elf Veloxua, Female Dargonesti elf Quayseen, Male Dargonesti elf Minnow-Tyrant, Dolphin The World Gash This was another great underwater story. It featured three Dargonesti sea elves as they explore and map the deadly Desolation waters. Something is poisoning the corals, killing them, forcing sea life to abandon the area and sharks to move in searching for remnant food sources. They narrowly escape one shark and continue mapping the sea floor on their dolphin scout, Minnow-Tyrant's back. They discover a more salty portion of water in an area known as the World Gash, where the sea floor has dropped out of sight. They go to explore it only to discover it has a cloud of acidic water poisoning the area that they have to swim through. On the other side, they soon witness a volcanic eruption and even more of the sea floor above them crumbles, trapping one of them below, while the other two swim up to freedom. They need to report back to Watermere and Istar to warn the other sea elves of the rapid changes their sea is experiencing, and how it will affect all life underwater. I really love how the sea is another world altogether, but it is affected just as the surface is by the Dragon Overlords, or their sudden absence as in the post War of Souls era. Let's hope we get more of these wonderful stories in the future. Wyrm's Claw inn by Miranda Horner Tam Ceary, council member Argus Thornton, innkeep Elthan, cleric of kiri-jolith Brell, housekeeper Radley This was an unexpected tale. Tam Ceary ordered an exorcism for the inn owned by Argus Thornton. This closed the inn for a while, though Argus believes it was less about the mild nuisance of the ghost that did haunt the inn than the tab he demanded Tam to pay. When the cleric arrived they heard commotion in the kitchen to discover Tam near death with weapons sticking out of him. His wife was tired of his drinking and hitting her afterward, so it appeared she finished him before he could finish her. Then they hear a commotion upstairs. There were two ghosts now that were messing in the master’s room, yelling get out. The new housekeeper, Brell, pulled a ring off a necklace, claiming it was a wish ring and wished the ghosts to leave. Suddenly all was quiet, but that was enough for the innkeeper. He and the cleric left, leaving Brell with the inn. Then it was revealed that the ring was her wedding ring, and the two ghosts were her husband and daughter. She had gone after the dark knights that killed them, and killed them. Then returned to claim her old home. It was a great story that makes me want to run yet another one shot about a haunting. Coin of Adament by Kevin T. Stein Brek, Scout Wulfbunde, black wolf Bundesphar, wolf soldiers Captain Arana, scout, follows white lady Canus Another one of the Wulfbunde and Bundesphar stories. These disciples of the Dark Queen are created by Canus, who never explains who it is. But the other Bundesphar have started following Mishakal in the post War of Souls era as Takhisis is dead, but Brek and his wulfbunde refuse. They chase a chaos demon only to be nearly destroyed by it, and Mishakal shows up herself to offer them help. Instead they pick themselves up and wander away. Then Mishakal says that ‘Krynn's secrets are coming to destroy us, and they need the bundesphar. Is this in reference to the remnant Chaos minions, Mina, or some other threat that was never explored? We will never really know, but I am glad this set of stories is done. I like the premise of a wolf bound pair, but it needs to be fleshed out more, and extrapolated on to make complete sense. The Box by Paul B. Thompson Dunnar Bolly Agaran Umram the Chiseler Hundel, dwarf Zetan Sleeps W Well, I did not expect this. The story begins as an old man and his dog are leading a wagon through a town, when three thieves catch sight of him. They help him past a rut in the road then stalk him as he goes into the tavern. They look at his cart which has a sealed box in the back. THey try to pick it only to reveal a led-filled lock. They go into the tavern, and two of the thieves go to get horses so they can follow this man and his cart and rob him of it. They are certain it contains something valuable. They catch up to the man, stab him and take the box. They go into the wilderness and break it open to find another box, with no means of opening it. They deliver it to a fence who eventually builds a bonfire to melt its forged hinges, and the side reveals a phrase ‘Zetan sleeps within'. They leave the fire till morning when they return to it open and the smith dead. Soon men start going missing or are found dead and the thieves realize the box contained an egg that must have hatched. Now a dragonling was running around killing the keep’s residents. THe fence locks the thieves in the tower as the dragonling slowly stalks, then kills everyone. It leaves the thieves for last. When the deed was done the old man and his dog rode through the keep, explaining to the reader that they are curated to distribute a dragon’s young in this manner for trying to steal its treasure. This is their punishment. The story does a great job of setting up the horror of being stalked and hearing death all around you, it was really great. The Albino by Douglas Niles Dagger, Diamond, Albino,  This was an interesting first person narrated story about a black dragon during the dragon purge. She found a secret lair in a volcano and was raising her brood there. One of her hatchlings was a n albino and it was quickly shunned and brutalized by everyone. It took to crafting blocks of stone with its acid breath alone. One day it snuck off and the mother went after it. It was near a random Knight of the Rose when the mother caught it, killed the knight and his horses and punished the albino.This behavior would repeat regularly, and one day she went after the albino as it tried to fly. It was seen by a great red dragon that was going after it, and the mother hid and ambushed the bigger red. It was a difficult fight, but the mother black won, and once again, punished the albino. When they were all healed, it took all the brood to test flying and the albino took off into the sky. The mother gave chase and Malystryx flew out of the clouds after the mother. She fled as best she could but Malys found her wyrmlings and killed them all, then came after her again. She went into an underwater cavern she knew of and once inside, fighting for aid, she got to the end to find it blocked by square blocks her albino was forging. There the story ended, with her suffocating and ambushed by the very wyrmling she took care of. This is a great way of showcasing how brutalising children leads to brutal children. It made me think of the film The Good Son with Macaulay Culkin. This was a really good anthology of stories, while they are not all gold, they are really good, and much better than the preceding anthology in my opinion. If you are a fan of dragons, or dragonlance, you should read this anthology.

Raised in Kentucky now residing in Asheville,NC Nickole Brown -- poet, writing teacher, and animal rescue volunteer -- shares her love for our wild animal and farmed animal kin with "In Tune to Nature" host Carrie Freeman in this lovely 50-minutes conversation. We enjoy hearing Nickole reading the emotive poem "Mercy" from her award-winning chapbook "To Those Who Were our First Gods" and three poems as essays from her book "The Donkey Elegies." Carrie discusses the many clever, compassionate, and compelling messages found within each poem that truly helps us hear and see fellow animals for the beautiful individuals they are. We question how our society may be diminishing the worth of other animal communities, as we sometimes do with fellow humans. Hopefully we can build solidarity between humans of all classes and animals of all other species. You can read some of Nickole's poetry and find all her books at her website https://www.nickolebrown.org/ . And eco writers/poets may want to check out the Hellbender Gathering of Poets, a conference she has organized in the Western NC mountains (named after the Hellbender salamander in the Appalachian mountains that she loves). "In Tune to Nature" is a weekly hour-long radio show airing Wednesdays at 6pm Eastern Time on 89.3FM-Atlanta radio and streaming worldwide on wrfg.org (Radio Free Georgia, a nonprofit indie station) hosted by me, Carrie Freeman, or friend Melody Paris.

“What's the first thing you think of when you hear the name Eddie Murphy?” For Krystina Ray, it's Donkey from Shrek. For Kevin “KT” Turner, it's Nutty Professor and Dr. Dolittle. But for Jeff “Skin” Wade, Eddie Murphy was nothing short of a cultural revolution—a rock star who changed comedy, movies, and pop culture forever.In this episode of The Ben and Skin Show, the crew explores Eddie Murphy's meteoric rise, from saving Saturday Night Live at just 18 years old to becoming the biggest movie star of the early '80s. Skin shares vivid memories of seeing 48 Hours in theaters and why the iconic redneck bar scene remains one of the greatest moments in film history. The conversation dives into Eddie's genius, his clean lifestyle in an era of excess, and why legends like Dave Chappelle and Jerry Seinfeld still hail him as one of the greatest of all time.

One our fine contributors to this podcast, Father Bob Kilner, is in the midst of writing his first book entitled "Diary of Donkey Priest."In addition to the book, Father will join me a few times a month on this platform for a collaboration to read from the book and discuss the many topics he addresses for priests, seminarians, and even the laity.Join us for a deeper dive into the priesthood itself and the life of a parish pastor and the highs and lows that surround this vocation.

Clayton, Chris, and Amy dive headfirst into the holiest of holiday debates: Which Christmas songs are actually good… and which ones should be banned forever?From Mariah Carey to claymation classics, from nostalgic hymns to deeply questionable novelty tracks (looking at you, Dominick the Donkey), the team drafts their best and worst Christmas songs and explains why music shapes the season so powerfully.They explore what makes a Christmas song meaningful, singable, memorable, or downright chaotic — and along the way share childhood memories, musical hot takes, and a few moments of friendly Christmas-themed outrage.Whether you're blasting the classics the moment Halloween ends or refusing to hit play until December 1, this episode will make you laugh, think, and probably text someone your own list of “songs that should be deleted forever.”TakeawaysThere are only about twelve classic Christmas songs… but apparently unlimited opinions.Not all Christmas songs are created equal (some need to be retired immediately).Meaningful lyrics, singability, and nostalgia shape which songs stick with us.Memories tied to music often matter more than the song itself.Playfulness and joy in music help anchor us in the season's meaning.Christmas music connects generations and believers from many backgrounds.Find The King Is Coming song on Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube! https://open.spotify.com/album/4Dcg0c7cME2X1Ov6EypkWs?si=xaMlCE3bSsy-RrWhWnwSTQLearn more about GoodKind and the products we make at www.goodkind.shop

Pastor Christy Cass Most of life isn't lived on the mountaintop — it's lived in the middle. In the ordinary, the consistent, the everyday. And that's exactly where God forms faithfulness. In the Middle God builds His church not only through bold moments or passionate highs, but through steady obedience in the mundane. From “go get the donkey” in Matthew 21 to rebuilding walls in Nehemiah 4, we see that God ties supernatural moments to simple acts of faithfulness. TEXT: Matthew 21:1–11, Zechariah 9:9, Nehemiah 4:16–18 NOTES: Big Idea: God forms us in the middle — through consistent obedience, hidden faithfulness, and small “yeses” that build something eternal. Faithfulness over Passion Consistency over Feelings Obedience over Excitement Go get the donkey. Pick up the shovel. Carry the sword. Because that's where: Prophecies are fulfilled. Walls are rebuilt. Lives are restored. The church is strengthened. God moves through you. You are a puzzle piece with purpose, not just in your genius, but in your faithfulness.

We're escaping the swamp and coming to you live and full of intoxicating libations because it's Bad Choices! Bad Choices is our drunk liveshow that we broadcast on Crowdcast approximately 2-3 times a year and this time we dove headfirst into one of DreamWorks' most inexplicably beloved franchises, Shrek, to get nasty with Donkey, Gingy, and the rest of the gang! Join James D'Amato, Kit, Maq, and MeganBob as they drink deep and get to grips with what Humpty Dumpty cums, who you find at a gay bathhouse, and a surprise Big Feels that still has us reeling months later. After that, we take viewer questions and then read a fanfic that you, the brave and foolhardy patrons voted for! Grab a drink, settle in, and enjoy(?) a journey to the land of Far Far Away that no amount of alcohol could prepare you for!

Cale looks at Genesis 49. What does the name Issachar mean? What can donkeys teach us about our relationship with Christ? “The Donkey” by G.K. Chesterton: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/47918/the-donkey

The impact of today's major judicial events is already being felt far and wide. This is how spook judges get favors. Fast moves are unsustainable. The domino decision. How does the Tina Peters case compare? The delay technicality will have repurcusions. No vindication involved. Do you think we are that stupid? Who has authority and how is it granted? It's either pressure, patience or a strategy. A big boomerang lull is coming. MAGA should not be pissed. Methodical, precise and stealthy. There is a real person of interest to talk about. A Harris County Jail is used to keep people quit. Witnesses, assets or liabilities. Big megaphones always rule. The time space battlefield is never defended. Intimidation will not replace legality. Comey is all over this. Non certified machines were used against Trump in 2020. Dirty money is coming in. Military stars are involved in coup planning. The AI complications trip people up. Covering up crimes creates more. Let's stop focusing on falsehoods. Imagine a merit based media. Our woman just wants to fix things. The Colorado system deserves wrecking. It kind of had to be this way. People deserve clarity, facts and a complete version of the truth. It's both a vision and a goal.

Vets apparently do a lot of shit for these animals, but do you floss a donkey's teeth? And does it literally smell like shit? Hahaha, do donkeys eat shit? Headlines
