Ski jumping took hold in the U.S. 100 years ago, when Norwegians introduced the sport here. You go down a steep ramp at 50 miles an hour, jump off into the wind, fly for around 10 seconds, and land 2-3 football fields farther away. It's not for the meek.

Jenna's teenage cousin turns up at the vicarage.A Series in 17 parts, by Blacksheep. Listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories. It was the second Sunday after Trinity. Over at St Michael's vicarage, the morning Eucharist had finished and Reverend Morris and his wife Jenna were discussing the upcoming events in the church calendar."Josh gets ordained next month, so that'll be a fun occasion. Big party over at his place. He's so excited for that day to come. It's been remarkable how he's come out of his shell. When he joined our church as curate a year ago, he was so nervous and shy. Now look at him." Reverend Morris said."He's a real asset to the church," Jenna replied, sipping a coffee, as she read through the church newsletter. "I like to think that I, helped build up his confidence a bit.""Oh you certainly did, I'm sure," the vicar said, oblivious to what his wife was referring to. "Now, apart from that big event, there's not much happening in July. I'm adding the study of the Book of Exodus in the services. Last year's summer study of Genesis went down a treat,”The sound of the doorbell interrupted him."I wonder who that can be?" Reverend Morris said, hurrying out of the living room. "If it's Gordon, he's early. He said he would call round at 2."He opened the front door. A slim young woman around eighteen or nineteen, stood on the doorstep. Brunette hair that was in pigtails. Huge brown eyes like Bambi. She was dressed in a low cut pink peasant top, tight cow-print shorts and ballet shoes. By her side was a suitcase and hold-all."Hello. Can I help you?" Reverend Morris said."Um," the woman began, in a nervous voice. "Mr., um, Reverend Morris. Is, Jenna in? I'm Mia, her cousin.""Oh really? Gosh, well do come in, you're very welcome! You look loaded up there, let me give you a hand." He ushered her inside and carried her luggage."Jen! You've got a visitor!"Jenna looked up and her eyes widened. "Mia?""Hello CJ," Mia said, with a sheepish grin.Reverend Morris blinked."Cousin Jenna," Jenna replied."Ah," He understood."What are you doing here? Last I heard you were at Salford uni.""It's a long story," Mia sighed, as Reverend Morris gestured for her to sit on the settee. "Um, I quit.""Oh no," Jenna said. "What happened?""Oh Jen, it was awful. I just couldn't settle into university life at all. I made a mistake choosing that Art and Design course. It wasn't for me. The lectures stressed me out, but worst of all was the bullying." She dabbed at imaginary tears in her eyes with a tissue. "Nine months and I just couldn't cope with it any longer, so I jacked it in."Jenna was about to say something, but her husband cut in."You poor thing. God, if there's one thing I hate, it's bullying. Sad that it occurs in all walks of life. A nasty part of human nature."Noticing the reverend had been completely taken in by Mia's story, Jenna cleared her throat. "What did your parents say?"There was an awkward pause."You haven't told them, have you?""Are you serious Jen? Mum will go nuclear if she finds out. I'm just not ready to deal with that, yet. She was so proud when I got in that place. Dad will be more understanding but, look, I have a favor to ask. Can I stay with you for, a bit? I used up my last bit of cash on the train fare. I'm broke and I have nowhere to stay. I can't face going back to my parents. They'll treat me like a kid. Please? I won't be any bother. I'll do housework for you, I'll,”"Of course you can stay!" Reverend Morris smiled. "Our vicarage is always available to those who need it. We have a spare bedroom." He turned to Jenna. "We had Bishop George staying with us during Lent, remember? I'm sure your cousin can't be a worse lodger than him. She looks like she's gone through a tough few months."Powerless to refuse, Jenna reluctantly agreed. Oh Simon, you sweet, naive man. You have no idea what you're letting yourself in for! She thought."Oh you mean it? I can stay? Oh; thank you so much, Reverend!""Simon. You can call me Simon!" Reverend Morris replied. "It's nice to finally get to meet you, Mia. I know you and Jenna drifted apart a bit when your parents moved, but it's so nice when relatives reunite, isn't it?" the reverend said as he went to pick up the luggage."If only everyone could be as nice as you and Jenna!" Mia gushed.Jenna pulled a face at her cousin and whispered to her. "You are so dead, cousin!""Right, well, I'll introduce you to your new room!” Simon said as he returned holding all the bags. “This way! I'll carry your stuff for you." Reverend Morris carried up the suitcase and hold-all."Your hubby is a total gent," Mia whispered to Jenna."Oh, you might be able to fool him, but you're not fooling me," Jenna replied. "As soon as he's gone out later, you are going to tell me everything."Reverend Morris led Mia upstairs and down the long landing. Mia walked right by his side looking something between an infatuated schoolgirl gazing at her crush and a timid little lamb sticking close to the shepherd. At eighteen, Mia was very aware of the effect she had on men. Her Bambi eyes, teamed with the brunette hair, gave her an innocent look that convinced boys and men alike that she couldn't possibly know what effect she was having on them. But she knew quite well, and she loved the things she could get by putting her skills to good use."Here we are," Reverend Morris said, opening the bedroom door at the end. "It's not massive, but it's got a pleasant view overlooking the garden."Mia walked in. The room was nicely decorated. Instead of the usual neutral color scheme of magnolia, the walls were painted in very pale blue, with white ceiling and a sandy colored carpet. Instead of curtains, a white window blind, as was the current trend. A single bed, chest of drawers and ladder desk and chair made up the furniture."I don't know why I painted this room blue, it always looks so cold, and it doesn't really match the carpet. No wardrobe, but there's a full chest of drawers and the bed is a divan, with two storage compartments you can put your bits and bobs in. There's a hook on the back of the door if you need to hang some clothes up.""Oh I love it!" Mia said, smiling at him. "It's like being at the beach. The floor is sand and the walls are the sea. It's so restful and appealing. Really brings out my creative side. I think I could do lots of painting and drawing in here.""I'm glad you like it. Jenna and I want you to feel comfortable and safe here. Charity is so important to Christians like us.""Oh yes, I understand Rev, um, Simon. And I am so grateful. Um, do I have to start going to church? I mean I was raised in a Christian home but I sort of drifted,” Mia said, giving him a coquettish look.""Ha, no worries! We're not going to force you to attend a Sunday service or anything so relax. Whether you're a believer or not, everyone is catered for in our vicarage. We don't judge.""Jenna told me that your church is a nice one," Mia said, gazing at the reverend. He's rather average in looks but this guy is a total sweetie I can tell. Not an ounce of malice in him. Jenna's really landed on her feet with this one."She's right! St Michael's is a lovely place of worship. I'm very honored to be its vicar. Of course it wasn't always like that, but I like to think that I've really turned things round and made a difference. I credit Jenna for helping me in, many ways," he continued, and Mia noted the pause.Wonder what he means by that? She thought.He continued. "I took over in 2019 after the sudden death of the previous vicar, Reverend Smith. Talk about being thrown in at the deep end. Only a few months later, the pandemic happened. What a stressful time that was."Mia nodded patiently."Sorry, I'm prattling on! I'll leave you to get sorted out. I talk too much. Always in sermon mode,”"That's alright, Simon. I'm sure your sermons are really interesting." Mia said, flattering him some more."Ah well, haven't heard too many snores in the aisles of late.""I really appreciate you helping me like this," Mia said, sitting on the bed. "I just don't know how I was going to cope. And I want to pay my way. I suppose I'll have to apply for Universal Credit. What with the cost of living crisis and everything. Not sure if there are any jobs going in this town? I don't know this area at all and I can't drive,”"One step at a time, Mia. let's get you settled in first.""I really do want to work. Is there anything I could do at your church?"Reverend Morris scratched the back of his head and sat down next to her."Well, it's mostly volunteer work there, which is no good when you need an income, oh wait a minute, Norman the churchwarden mentioned that the church hall needs a cleaner, 10 hours a week. It's only a five minute walk from here. We had one of the Sunday school teacher's lads doing it, but I confess he rarely turned up and was about as much use as a chocolate fireguard. I was disappointed in Jordan, as the pay was pretty good for an entry-level job.""I'll do that job! I'd love to do that!" Mia said. "Oh please say yes!""Hmm, well let me talk it over with Jenna first, and Norman. Cleaning is a bit boring. You'd be required to put out chairs and tables too. They're only lightweight folding ones, so no dangerous lifting of heavy stuff or anything. But Norman will be able to tell you more about what's involved. We have a lot of functions held in the hall, not just church stuff. Monday is badminton class. Tuesday it's the over-60s hot yoga. Wednesday is the midweek eucharist, so it's tea and coffee morning. Thursday and Friday you get two days off as nothing happens then. Saturday is the local amateur dramatics group. Oh and Sunday, the most important day of all, is the main service at church, and a social gathering afterwards.""Oh I just love cleaning up," Mia said. "Tidiness is good for mental health you know. It keeps your mind occupied." She slid a bit closer to him."You're really enthusiastic aren't you?" Well If your heart's set on it, I'm sure I can pull a few strings and get you in. Don't want you to feel like your talents are being wasted in what I consider to be just a casual job though.""To be honest, I never had any idea what I wanted to do when I left school," Mia continued. "I never wanted to go to uni. I feel like such a failure for quitting.""Don't put yourself down," he said, reassuring her. "Sometimes God has a different path for us. And you can't stay somewhere that's making you unhappy. It takes guts to break away from a path that someone else has set for you. I can tell you have a great attitude. Your talents obviously lie elsewhere. In time, I'm sure you'll find something you truly excel at.""I do hope so," Mia said, pouting at him. She leaned in closer, but the moment was broken by the sound of the landline phone ringing downstairs."Oh that reminds me, I need to call on one of the flock." He stood up. "I'll leave you to unpack Mia. If you need anything, I'm sure Jenna can assist you. I have to go out. I'll see you later. Take care!"He hurried out of the bedroom."I think I'm gonna love it here," Mia giggled to herself. "I think I need to, repair my relationship with God." She gave the most mischievous of grins as she flopped back in bed."But I also plan on sinning, a lot!"Reverend Morris rushed down the stairs."That was the garage on the phone," Jenna said, putting down the receiver. "My car's passed its MOT and ready to be collected.""Great. I'll drop you off there as I just remembered I promised Gladys Wilcox I'd take her a copy of that paperback I recommended at last week's service. Hills of the North by Jenny Talwartz." He rummaged around on the coffee table and held up the book in question. "A thrilling tale set in rural England, about passion, blackmail and a woman's fulfilling journey to find romance and regain her faith.""Sounds a good one.""It got rave reviews on Amazon. I was worried it might be a bit too racy for some of the older members of the congregation. I haven't had chance to read it yet but apparently it contains violence and several sex scenes.""Right up Gladys Wilcox's alley I'd say," Jenna replied, grinning. "I keep telling you, there's something kinky going on between her and the churchwarden. Okay, give me five minutes, and I'll be ready. Need to have a quick word with our non-paying guest.""You're alright with her staying, aren't you? Sorry, I tend to just dive in and say yes to everything. Your cousin seems like such a lovely person.""I don't mind, but she's not the innocent little thing you think she is," Jenna said. "Oh she's not a criminal or anything, but she can be a bit, indiscreet at times.""Aren't we all a bit like that at eighteen? Not much life experience to fall back on.""Hmm, I suppose. I will phone Aunt Kathleen later and let her know that Mia's staying here. I'd better prepare to gently break the bad news that her daughter won't be getting those letters after her name."Mia was admiring herself in the wall mirror when Jenna came in, and closed the bedroom door."Alright you. Now how about giving me the whole truth about why you quit uni? You're good, but your acting skills need work. Better make it quick as Simon's waiting to give me a lift to the garage, so spill."The brunette took a deep breath. "Alright. Look, don't give me too much grief. I did something wrong and that's why I had to quit.""What happened?""I seduced my lecturer and slept with him."She gasped. "You did what?" After the initial shock, Jenna couldn't help but admire her cousin's brazen attitude. Seeing as she herself had seduced several men from the church, plus a former Catholic priest, and most recently, the town mayor. Not to mention there were her weekly "organ lessons" with Gordon,"So he was old enough to be my dad. Maybe grandad. He was like, late fifties or something. But he was so hot. Older men really turn me on. You must know how that feels. I mean, your husband is way older than you, right?""Yeah. I'm twenty-one and he's forty." Jenna admitted. "Eighteen and late fifties is one hell of an age gap though.""I know. Oh but Jen. Tom was such a sexy man. Just the type I like. He was a smoker, but not a heavy one. Kind of used to turn me on, smelling smoke on his breath. It added to the attraction, as weird as that sounds. The sex was amazing. Older men are just sexier,”Jenna gave a dreamy sigh. "Yep they are. Can't disagree with you there. Realizing she suddenly had a lot more in common with her cousin, she sat down next to her. "Tell me more about Tom."And so Mia gave her chapter and verse on her spicy adventures at Salford."Stood in the art room, I was backlit by the bright front windows behind me. By kneeling down to waist level, he could see through the now semi-transparent material of my dress and get a look at the curves of my body underneath it. I told myself that I was grossed out, and that it was disgusting, but the idea that this older man wanted to see my knickers made my heart beat fast, I masturbated to the idea of Tom looking at me and his cock getting hard in his underpants, and as I later found out, he had a lovely big cock.""Wow," Jenna said, feeling herself getting quite wet."Jenna! Are you coming?" Reverend Morris shouted."Oh! Er yes! Just a minute! I have to go out and collect my car from the garage. I won't be long. You'll be okay whilst I'm gone won't you?""You sound like Mum.""Sorry. I'll see you later then. Make yourself a brew or something. Help yourself to whatever's in the kitchen but if you touch Simon's beloved brandy, you'll be reciting some prayers of forgiveness!" Jenna said with a wink."I'll be good. Honest. Can I have a shower please? After that long journey I feel gross. It was hot and smelly in the train. A fat lad sat behind me kept farting.""Yes of course. Bathroom's the second on the right."A few minutes later, Mia was taking full advantage of the newly-installed power shower at the vicarage. As the hot water caressed her young body, she closed her eyes and ran her hands over her smooth skin, losing herself in the sensation. A smile played across her face as her hands cupped her small, pert breasts and gave the nipples a quick tweak. She sucked in a breath and bit her lip as those wandering hands traveled lower, finding the treasure between her legs. The sensations were nice, but when she imagined someone watching her doing these things, her clit began to throb with need."Oh Tom. I miss you."On the other side of town, Gordon was loading some ceramic plant pots into the boot of his car. He was glad to be offloading these unwanted pots on the vicar. With their massive garden, they'd be put to good use. Plus, Gordon could never refuse an opportunity to see the gorgeous Jenna.In the shower, Mia leaned against the wall, eyes closed, and fingered her tingling clit. She was lost in a fantasy.Praise the Lord! Reverend Morris returns unexpectedly, before Jenna does. He walks in and finds me here. Instead of turning away, he unzips his trousers. I happily comply, straight away, by parting my legs, bending over and thrusting my arse into his groin so he can tear off my underwear- if I was wearing any (which is hardly ever) - and he rams his whole ten inches (I assume he's well-endowed) of hard, holy cock right into my hot, tight snatch, fuck yes!Gordon arrived at the vicarage, and failed to notice the lack of cars on the driveway. His mind was too focused on Jenna. Being so familiar with the house's occupants, he didn't even knock these days, but just walked in. Gordon had never been known for restraint, but Reverend Morris didn't seem to mind."Hello? Anyone in? I'm early." He shouted. No reply. Maybe they were in the back garden. He shrugged and carried the pots into the house.Mia had finished her shower and was just wrapping a towel round herself when she heard Gordon's voice.Then the sound of the back door opening was heard."Shit, who's that?"Mia opened the bathroom window and peered out. She noticed Gordon placing the plant pots in the yard."Wonder if he's a delivery guy?"Gordon looked round and scratched his head. It was obvious now that Jenna and the reverend weren't in. He pulled out his smartphone.Mia continued to observe him, finally getting a good look at his face."He looks a bit like Tom! Oh my God!" She watched him call someone."Hi Jen, it's your favorite organist here. Just letting you know that I've arrived at your place with the pots, what's that? Sorry, it's a bad line, oh you're at the garage? Right, I see, sure, no problem.""Oh; so he's the church organist." Mia said. "What a DILF!"Gordon ended the call and put his hands on his hips. "Oh well, might as well help myself to a cuppa, whilst I'm here." He headed back into the house. In the kitchen, he was just about to switch the kettle on, when a voice from behind made him jump."Hello there."Gordon spun round in surprise."Sorry, didn't mean to startle you.""Who, are you?" He spluttered, catching his breath, and then he realized she was wearing nothing but a bath towel."Oh, I'm Mia, Jenna's cousin. I've just arrived. I'll be staying here for a bit as I, oh, whoops!"The towel fell to the floor.Gordon's eyes almost popped out of his head."Bloody hell!"The Vicar gets a shock, and the organist is seduced.Reverend Morris turned into the quiet cul-de-sac of Rosebay Gardens and pulled up in front of Mrs. Wilcox's bungalow."Hope the old girl doesn't find this book too rude," he muttered to himself as he knocked on the door. Noticing a pair of garden gnomes dressed in bondage gear, he smiled."Guess she won't!"After a few minutes, no-one came to the door. Reverend Morris fiddled with his clerical collar. The June heatwave was showing no sign of ending. Hearing laughter, he walked down the side of the house and opened the rear gate."Yoo hoo! Anyone there?"He wasn't prepared for what he saw next."Oh Vicar! I didn't hear you!" Mrs. Wilcox cheerfully exclaimed as she dropped the riding crop. "Norman, I told you to lock that garden gate,”The churchwarden, his hairy, bare buttocks red from repeated whippings, leapt to his feet and adjusted the floral print apron, which was his only item of clothing."Ah, good afternoon to you, Reverend! This is, um, well I guess it looks bad.""Dear God!" The vicar muttered. "Jenna was right all along!"Norman was mortified. "Er, I was, we were,”"He's been a naughty boy," Mrs. Wilcox cut in, rising from the garden chair. "He forgot to mow the lawn. I'm still training him, you see.""What's going on here?" Reverend Morris gasped. "Norman, are you some kind of slave?""Heh, er, pretty much," the embarrassed churchwarden replied. "It's a fetish I never knew I had, or knew she had.""My garden isn't overlooked, Vicar and we're both consenting adults. No harm in a bit of what you fancy, is there? Norman, sweetie, why don't you go and clad yourself in something more suitable and make us all a nice cup of Earl Grey, eh? There's a good lad. She gave his arse a playful slap as he hurried into the house."Now Vicar," the old lady said, turning to face him. She grinned, but behind that sweet facade lay steely determination and unbridled spirit. "Why yes, I'm eighty-six. I suppose I should be doing crosswords and watching episodes of Midsomer Murders instead of whipping a younger man's bare behind, eh? You look rather shocked. I must say, I'm surprised at your blushes, given that your lovely wife Jenna has quite a fancy for our dear church organist."Reverend Morris wasn't sure what to say. Norman must've told her about what went on in the church when I arranged Jenna's special birthday surprise, he thought. Damn. I swore him to secrecy."Oh I don't judge, I don't judge at all!" He said quickly. "Whatever turns you on, Gladys. I'm pleased that you're both enjoying yourselves!""Just like you and your good wife, and Gordon enjoyed yourselves in the church hall at Easter, am I right?" She winked at him. There was no way to deny it, for the old lass knew everything. Nosey little old ladies had a habit of knowing the deepest, darkest secrets of every member of a church."Er, that. It was, a one off. It just happened. We got carried away in the heat of moment!" Reverend Morris stammered."As is the usual way," Mrs. Wilcox replied."How did you, erm, find out?""Couldn't resist a peek through the keyhole," she said. That wasn't actually true, but she wasn't going to confess to the camera and Mrs. Norris' failed attempt at blackmail."You're a bit of a dark horse, Vicar," Mrs. Wilcox continued. "Gordon lends himself well to naughtiness, but you always seemed the shy type. Quite the stamina you displayed." She patted his arm. "I must admit, I had doubts when you took over from Reverend Smith, God rest his soul. I was wrong.""Very kind of you to say," he said, starting to relax. "Um, about that church hall incident, you haven't said anything have you?""My lips are sealed, dearie!"Reverend Morris exhaled. "Praise the Lord. Thank you, Gladys!" He was relieved she didn't know about Jenna's " Mentula Cōleī (bukkake) baptism" in the church last year. That would've been too much to excuse.In the house, came the sound of a whistling kettle reaching the boil."Forgive me asking this but, how did you and Norman come to be, er, in such an arrangement?""He wasn't my first choice," she said, with no hint of shame. "I wanted Gordon to step into the role, but he chickened out. Shame, as he showed such promise that afternoon when he came to practice on the organ, and my word, I enjoyed playing with his organ, let me tell you! I said to him, if I were thirty years younger, I'd have done a lot more with his organ! My body's far too old for such things, alas. But he seemed to really enjoy the blowjob I gave him. I haven't lost my touch!"The vicar felt as though he was about to faint. He would never look at this frail-looking little pensioner in the same way again."Well, that's good to know!"Presently, the kitchen door opened and Norman, now wearing a bathrobe, stepped out onto the patio, carrying a tray."Tea, Vicar?"Meanwhile, at the vicarage,Gordon wasn't usually lost for words, but Mia's towel drop had left him tongue-tied."Silly me," she said, bending down and covering herself up. "Sorry about that, Mr.,”He dared to breathe. "Gordon,”"Hi Gordon. I heard you talking on your phone earlier. Are you the organist?"She didn't seem embarrassed at all, but he could feel his face burning. "Um yes, I am. Been organist and choirmaster at St Michael's for twenty years now. I've played other pipe organs in different churches too.""How impressive. Being an organist you must be very good with your hands." Mia said. "May I call you Gordy-pie?""If you wish, and I have no complaints so far," he chuckled, regaining his confidence. He wondered if all female members of Jenna's family had this talent for driving men wild."I'd like your hands on me, Gordy-pie," Mia whispered, walking closer to him."I'm sure. How old are you?" He added, warily."Eighteen, and I'll be nineteen in a few weeks.""Ah." He relaxed. "How come you're staying here then? I'll hazard a guess that you're not training to become a member of the clergy?""Been a naughty girl; haven't I?" She pouted. "Got myself booted out of uni.""Blimey. What did you do?" Gordy-Pie asked."Slept with my lecturer," Mia said, twirling a wet strand of her hair. "Seduced him, lost my virginity to him. I regret nothing.""You are an extremely naughty girl," Gordon tutted in mock disapproval. "Seducing defenseless older men like that.""I know. But Gordy-pie, do you know what the best thing was? That first time we did it. When I pressed against him and felt his hard cock straining against his trousers. The same as yours is now,” She groped his crotch and taken by surprise, he let out a gasp.Mia slipped her arms round his waist and planted a kiss on his lips. "Well? What shall we do?""I quite fancy a nice hot shower," Gordon whispered back. Lowering his voice further, he whispered into her ear. "Get your naughty little ass up those stairs right now and into the bathroom."She didn't need telling twice. Giggling, she threw her towel at him and raced out of the kitchen."I'll show you exactly what an organist can do with his hands!" Gordon shouted as he ran after her, whilst trying to unbuckle his belt.In the bathroom, Mia had already turned on the shower. She watched in amusement as Gordon fumbled with his clothes. He stepped out of his shoes and socks and tried to remove his trousers as fast as possible."Hurry up, Gordy-pie!" She teased."Damn these buttons! He muttered, fiddling with his shirt. "Should've worn a t-shirt."At last he freed himself from the offending item of clothing, and his trousers fell to his ankles."Oh, love your tighty-whities!" Mia purred. They were just like the ones Tom wore."Wait until you see what's inside them!" Gordon laughed, removing his briefs and finally, he was as naked as she was."Wow," Mia gasped. She was more than impressed. The organist's cock was thick and splendid. She was so hungry for cock that any man would've done, but Gordon ticked all her boxes and more. This was going to be one hell of a shower,"Gordy-pie," she whispered, holding out her hand. "I must warn you, I'm very slippery when wet."Gordon stepped inside. Water cascaded across the slim curves of Mia's glistening body and ran down into the darker crevice of her thighs. Gordon saw that she had a dark thatch of pubic hair that obscured her view of the lips below."I'd better handle with care then," he whispered back.His lips closed tight around her skin and kissed her neck right from her left ear, all the way down and around and back up to her right ear. He did this again, this time using tongue flicks just to hear Mia moan slightly."So just how do you play the pipe organ?" Mia gasped.He reached for the shower gel bottle and began to lather up his hands."Like this." He ran his fingers down her shoulders and back, then in a circular motion, before kneading her skin."The thing with pipe organs is, you have to press down quite firmly on the manuals," he said. "That's what the keyboards are called." He planted kisses on the back of her neck. "The organ at St Michael's has three manuals. One up here." He pressed his fingers against her shoulders."Ooh.""The middle one, round about here,” His fingers slipped down to her lower back."That tickles!""And the third manual, that's down here." He cupped her pert buttocks."Then there are the stops." Gordon's hands slipped round and up to her breasts."Have to pull out the stops,” He tweaked her hardened nipples.Mia closed her eyes, loving his sensual touch, and feeling his hard cock pressing against her arse."Oh, Gordy,”"Not forgetting the organ loft," Gordon continued, fingering her clit and making her whimper and shudder in pleasure."That's where the action happens. The organist sits at his console and plays,”Mia continued to shudder but then turned, & roughly grasped Gordon's head with both hands. He saw the desire in the young woman's brown eyes before he kissed her, hard and deep. Mia's inconsistent moans became longer and louder; the trembling went from shudders of the back to full-body quaking.Gordon continued. "And that just leaves, the organ pipes. The biggest pipes produce the deepest sounds. He took her hand and placed it on his cock."I've only got one organ pipe, but it only takes one pipe to make sweet music,”The hot spray from the shower cascaded down both their bodies. Exhilaration coursed throughout Mia's body; she'd never felt so turned on. Dropping to her knees, she soaped up her hands and slid them along Gordon's pulsing shaft. She said nothing as she rinsed, then started tasting him by licking the water drops from his balls.Flattening her tongue and licking in one long stroke up the length of his prick. Wrapping her lips around his cockhead, she sucked him. He tasted so good. A perfect older man.Keeping the rhythm nice and steady, Mia stepped up the sensation by rubbing her fingers around the base of Gordon's cock just above his balls."Mmm, your balls are getting tighter, Gordy-pie. It shouldn't be too long now before I really get to taste you!" Mia said at last. "I want all your delicious cum!""Oh God!"Gordon suddenly tensed, sucked in a breath and then grunted. Mia locked her lips so none of his precious seed escaped. Feeling his cock start to pulse, he exploded in her mouth. Spurt after spurt. Mia swallowed every drop."Did I play the organ correctly?"Gordon slid his hands up her arms and grasped her face, pulling her in for a slow, tender kiss."Perfectly," he murmured. "No wrong notes at all!""I want a more advanced organ lesson, Gordy-pie." Mia said. Hot water ran down her back and legs, making it so much easier for him to slip his fingers inside her tight pussy."What a good idea. You're more than ready!" He rubbed the tip of his still-hard cock against her entrance, teasing her by rubbing it against her clit, then down to the entrance, and back up to the clit again."Now. Please," she begged him.Gordon pressed the head of his cock against her entrance and shoved himself inside. He went in all the way on the first thrust, forcing a moan from the young brunette. He grabbed her hips roughly and thrust hard into her, the sound of wet skin slapping together. Mia moaned loudly as the organist began to pound into her."Oh Gordy! Yes! Fuck yes! Harder!"Neither of them heard the front door open as Jenna returned.To be continued in part 2. By Blacksheep, for Literotica.

The last six months for biathlete Luci Anderson have been exhilarating, to say the least. The Minnesota native entered her first biathlon race last August. Just over three months later, she was on the IBU Cup tour. A few weeks later, she was racing World Cup.Anderson joined U.S. Biathlon's Heartbeat podcast from the U.S. Cross Country Championships in Anchorage, where she was among the top U.S. athletes. It was a warmup, of sorts, for her anticipated appearances at the Ruhpolding and Antholtz World Cups.Growing up in Minnesota, she found cross country skiing through the Minnesota Youth Ski League at Theodore Wirth Park, eventually gravitating to the acclaimed Loppet Nordic Racing program. She earned All State honors in high school, before heading to the University of New Hampshire where she raced five seasons with the Wildcats – earning nine podiums including six wins. The summer before her final year competing for UNH, she discovered biathlon at a try-it camp. She tucked the idea in the back of her mind, finished her masters degree in biotech, then dusted off the concept of biathlon after graduation. She was hooked.Anderson's story is similar to those of others, like Margie Freed and Grace Castonguay. But her progress curve is quick – qualifying for the IBU Cup at October trials then quickly advancing to the World Cup after two weekends.Today, Anderson is skiing with Team Birkie and U.S. Biathlon's Project X. In her conversation with Heartbeat, she conveys a great sense of organization as she maps her plan. At the same time, she exudes confidence in herself. When the phone call came from High Performance Director Lowell Bailey that a World Cup spot was available, she quickly consulted with coaches and took on the opportunity.This episode of Heartbeat is another refreshing look at the excitement cross country athletes are finding with biathlon.

Jenna's teenage cousin turns up at the vicarage.A Series in 17 parts, by Blacksheep. Listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories. It was the second Sunday after Trinity. Over at St Michael's vicarage, the morning eucharist had finished and Reverend Morris and his wife Jenna were discussing the upcoming events in the church calendar."Josh gets ordained next month, so that'll be a fun occasion. Big party over at his place. He's so excited for that day to come. It's been remarkable how he's come out of his shell. When he joined our church as curate a year ago, he was so nervous and shy. Now look at him." Reverend Morris said."He's a real asset to the church," Jenna replied, sipping a coffee, as she read through the church newsletter. "I like to think that I, helped build up his confidence a bit.""Oh you certainly did, I'm sure," the vicar said, oblivious to what his wife was referring to. "Now, apart from that big event, there's not much happening in July. I'm adding the study of the Book of Exodus in the services. Last year's summer study of Genesis went down a treat,”The sound of the doorbell interrupted him."I wonder who that can be?" Reverend Morris said, hurrying out of the living room. "If it's Gordon, he's early. He said he would call round at 2."He opened the front door. A slim young woman around eighteen or nineteen, stood on the doorstep. Brunette hair that was in pigtails. Huge brown eyes like Bambi. She was dressed in a low cut pink peasant top, tight cow-print shorts and ballet shoes. By her side was a suitcase and hold-all."Hello. Can I help you?" Reverend Morris said."Um," the woman began, in a nervous voice. "Mr., um, Reverend Morris. Is, Jenna in? I'm Mia, her cousin.""Oh really? Gosh, well do come in, you're very welcome! You look loaded up there, let me give you a hand." He ushered her inside and carried her luggage."Jen! You've got a visitor!"Jenna looked up and her eyes widened. "Mia?""Hello CJ," Mia said, with a sheepish grin.Reverend Morris blinked."Cousin Jenna," Jenna replied."Ah," He understood."What are you doing here? Last I heard you were at Salford uni.""It's a long story," Mia sighed, as Reverend Morris gestured for her to sit on the settee. "Um, I quit.""Oh no," Jenna said. "What happened?""Oh Jen, it was awful. I just couldn't settle into university life at all. I made a mistake choosing that Art and Design course. It wasn't for me. The lectures stressed me out, but worst of all was the bullying." She dabbed at imaginary tears in her eyes with a tissue. "Nine months and I just couldn't cope with it any longer, so I jacked it in."Jenna was about to say something, but her husband cut in."You poor thing. God, if there's one thing I hate, it's bullying. Sad that it occurs in all walks of life. A nasty part of human nature."Noticing the reverend had been completely taken in by Mia's story, Jenna cleared her throat. "What did your parents say?"There was an awkward pause."You haven't told them, have you?""Are you serious Jen? Mum will go nuclear if she finds out. I'm just not ready to deal with that, yet. She was so proud when I got in that place. Dad will be more understanding but, look, I have a favor to ask. Can I stay with you for, a bit? I used up my last bit of cash on the train fare. I'm broke and I have nowhere to stay. I can't face going back to my parents. They'll treat me like a kid. Please? I won't be any bother. I'll do housework for you, I'll,”"Of course you can stay!" Reverend Morris smiled. "Our vicarage is always available to those who need it. We have a spare bedroom." He turned to Jenna. "We had Bishop George staying with us during Lent, remember? I'm sure your cousin can't be a worse lodger than him. She looks like she's gone through a tough few months."Powerless to refuse, Jenna reluctantly agreed. Oh Simon, you sweet, naive man. You have no idea what you're letting yourself in for! She thought."Oh you mean it? I can stay? Oh; thank you so much, Reverend!""Simon. You can call me Simon!" Reverend Morris replied. "It's nice to finally get to meet you, Mia. I know you and Jenna drifted apart a bit when your parents moved, but it's so nice when relatives reunite, isn't it?" the reverend said as he went to pick up the luggage."If only everyone could be as nice as you and Jenna!" Mia gushed.Jenna pulled a face at her cousin and whispered to her. "You are so dead, cousin!""Right, well, I'll introduce you to your new room!” Simon said as he returned holding all the bags. “This way! I'll carry your stuff for you." Reverend Morris carried up the suitcase and hold-all."Your hubby is a total gent," Mia whispered to Jenna."Oh, you might be able to fool him, but you're not fooling me," Jenna replied. "As soon as he's gone out later, you are going to tell me everything."Reverend Morris led Mia upstairs and down the long landing. Mia walked right by his side looking something between an infatuated schoolgirl gazing at her crush and a timid little lamb sticking close to the shepherd. At eighteen, Mia was very aware of the effect she had on men. Her Bambi eyes, teamed with the brunette hair, gave her an innocent look that convinced boys and men alike that she couldn't possibly know what effect she was having on them. But she knew quite well, and she loved the things she could get by putting her skills to good use."Here we are," Reverend Morris said, opening the bedroom door at the end. "It's not massive, but it's got a pleasant view overlooking the garden."Mia walked in. The room was nicely decorated. Instead of the usual neutral color scheme of magnolia, the walls were painted in very pale blue, with white ceiling and a sandy colored carpet. Instead of curtains, a white window blind, as was the current trend. A single bed, chest of drawers and ladder desk and chair made up the furniture."I don't know why I painted this room blue, it always looks so cold, and it doesn't really match the carpet. No wardrobe, but there's a full chest of drawers and the bed is a divan, with two storage compartments you can put your bits and bobs in. There's a hook on the back of the door if you need to hang some clothes up.""Oh I love it!" Mia said, smiling at him. "It's like being at the beach. The floor is sand and the walls are the sea. It's so restful and appealing. Really brings out my creative side. I think I could do lots of painting and drawing in here.""I'm glad you like it. Jenna and I want you to feel comfortable and safe here. Charity is so important to Christians like us.""Oh yes, I understand Rev, um, Simon. And I am so grateful. Um, do I have to start going to church? I mean I was raised in a Christian home but I sort of drifted,” Mia said, giving him a coquettish look.""Ha, no worries! We're not going to force you to attend a Sunday service or anything so relax. Whether you're a believer or not, everyone is catered for in our vicarage. We don't judge.""Jenna told me that your church is a nice one," Mia said, gazing at the reverend. He's rather average in looks but this guy is a total sweetie I can tell. Not an ounce of malice in him. Jenna's really landed on her feet with this one."She's right! St Michael's is a lovely place of worship. I'm very honored to be its vicar. Of course it wasn't always like that, but I like to think that I've really turned things round and made a difference. I credit Jenna for helping me in, many ways," he continued, and Mia noted the pause.Wonder what he means by that? She thought.He continued. "I took over in 2019 after the sudden death of the previous vicar, Reverend Smith. Talk about being thrown in at the deep end. Only a few months later, the pandemic happened. What a stressful time that was."Mia nodded patiently."Sorry, I'm prattling on! I'll leave you to get sorted out. I talk too much. Always in sermon mode,”"That's alright, Simon. I'm sure your sermons are really interesting." Mia said, flattering him some more."Ah well, haven't heard too many snores in the aisles of late.""I really appreciate you helping me like this," Mia said, sitting on the bed. "I just don't know how I was going to cope. And I want to pay my way. I suppose I'll have to apply for Universal Credit. What with the cost of living crisis and everything. Not sure if there are any jobs going in this town? I don't know this area at all and I can't drive,”"One step at a time, Mia. let's get you settled in first.""I really do want to work. Is there anything I could do at your church?"Reverend Morris scratched the back of his head and sat down next to her."Well, it's mostly volunteer work there, which is no good when you need an income, oh wait a minute, Norman the churchwarden mentioned that the church hall needs a cleaner, 10 hours a week. It's only a five minute walk from here. We had one of the Sunday school teacher's lads doing it, but I confess he rarely turned up and was about as much use as a chocolate fireguard. I was disappointed in Jordan, as the pay was pretty good for an entry-level job.""I'll do that job! I'd love to do that!" Mia said. "Oh please say yes!""Hmm, well let me talk it over with Jenna first, and Norman. Cleaning is a bit boring. You'd be required to put out chairs and tables too. They're only lightweight folding ones, so no dangerous lifting of heavy stuff or anything. But Norman will be able to tell you more about what's involved. We have a lot of functions held in the hall, not just church stuff. Monday is badminton class. Tuesday it's the over-60s hot yoga. Wednesday is the midweek eucharist, so it's tea and coffee morning. Thursday and Friday you get two days off as nothing happens then. Saturday is the local amateur dramatics group. Oh and Sunday, the most important day of all, is the main service at church, and a social gathering afterwards.""Oh I just love cleaning up," Mia said. "Tidiness is good for mental health you know. It keeps your mind occupied." She slid a bit closer to him."You're really enthusiastic aren't you?" Well If your heart's set on it, I'm sure I can pull a few strings and get you in. Don't want you to feel like your talents are being wasted in what I consider to be just a casual job though.""To be honest, I never had any idea what I wanted to do when I left school," Mia continued. "I never wanted to go to uni. I feel like such a failure for quitting.""Don't put yourself down," he said, reassuring her. "Sometimes God has a different path for us. And you can't stay somewhere that's making you unhappy. It takes guts to break away from a path that someone else has set for you. I can tell you have a great attitude. Your talents obviously lie elsewhere. In time, I'm sure you'll find something you truly excel at.""I do hope so," Mia said, pouting at him. She leaned in closer, but the moment was broken by the sound of the landline phone ringing downstairs."Oh that reminds me, I need to call on one of the flock." He stood up. "I'll leave you to unpack Mia. If you need anything, I'm sure Jenna can assist you. I have to go out. I'll see you later. Take care!"He hurried out of the bedroom."I think I'm gonna love it here," Mia giggled to herself. "I think I need to, repair my relationship with God." She gave the most mischievous of grins as she flopped back in bed."But I also plan on sinning, a lot!"Reverend Morris rushed down the stairs."That was the garage on the phone," Jenna said, putting down the receiver. "My car's passed its MOT and ready to be collected.""Great. I'll drop you off there as I just remembered I promised Gladys Wilcox I'd take her a copy of that paperback I recommended at last week's service. Hills of the North by Jenny Talwartz." He rummaged around on the coffee table and held up the book in question. "A thrilling tale set in rural England, about passion, blackmail and a woman's fulfilling journey to find romance and regain her faith.""Sounds a good one.""It got rave reviews on Amazon. I was worried it might be a bit too racy for some of the older members of the congregation. I haven't had chance to read it yet but apparently it contains violence and several sex scenes.""Right up Gladys Wilcox's alley I'd say," Jenna replied, grinning. "I keep telling you, there's something kinky going on between her and the churchwarden. Okay, give me five minutes, and I'll be ready. Need to have a quick word with our non-paying guest.""You're alright with her staying, aren't you? Sorry, I tend to just dive in and say yes to everything. Your cousin seems like such a lovely person.""I don't mind, but she's not the innocent little thing you think she is," Jenna said. "Oh she's not a criminal or anything, but she can be a bit, indiscreet at times.""Aren't we all a bit like that at eighteen? Not much life experience to fall back on.""Hmm, I suppose. I will phone Aunt Kathleen later and let her know that Mia's staying here. I'd better prepare to gently break the bad news that her daughter won't be getting those letters after her name."Mia was admiring herself in the wall mirror when Jenna came in, and closed the bedroom door."Alright you. Now how about giving me the whole truth about why you quit uni? You're good, but your acting skills need work. Better make it quick as Simon's waiting to give me a lift to the garage, so spill."The brunette took a deep breath. "Alright. Look, don't give me too much grief. I did something wrong and that's why I had to quit.""What happened?""I seduced my lecturer and slept with him."She gasped. "You did what?" After the initial shock, Jenna couldn't help but admire her cousin's brazen attitude. Seeing as she herself had seduced several men from the church, plus a former Catholic priest, and most recently, the town mayor. Not to mention there were her weekly "organ lessons" with Gordon,"So he was old enough to be my dad. Maybe grandad. He was like, late fifties or something. But he was so hot. Older men really turn me on. You must know how that feels. I mean, your husband is way older than you, right?""Yeah. I'm twenty-one and he's forty." Jenna admitted. "Eighteen and late fifties is one hell of an age gap though.""I know. Oh but Jen. Tom was such a sexy man. Just the type I like. He was a smoker, but not a heavy one. Kind of used to turn me on, smelling smoke on his breath. It added to the attraction, as weird as that sounds. The sex was amazing. Older men are just sexier,”Jenna gave a dreamy sigh. "Yep they are. Can't disagree with you there. Realizing she suddenly had a lot more in common with her cousin, she sat down next to her. "Tell me more about Tom."And so Mia gave her chapter and verse on her spicy adventures at Salford.

Oh and Sunday, the most important day of all, is the main service at church, and a social gathering afterwards.""Oh I just love cleaning up," Mia said. "Tidiness is good for mental health you know. It keeps your mind occupied." She slid a bit closer to him."You're really enthusiastic aren't you?" Well If your heart's set on it, I'm sure I can pull a few strings and get you in. Don't want you to feel like your talents are being wasted in what I consider to be just a casual job though.""To be honest, I never had any idea what I wanted to do when I left school," Mia continued. "I never wanted to go to uni. I feel like such a failure for quitting.""Don't put yourself down," he said, reassuring her. "Sometimes God has a different path for us. And you can't stay somewhere that's making you unhappy. It takes guts to break away from a path that someone else has set for you. I can tell you have a great attitude. Your talents obviously lie elsewhere. In time, I'm sure you'll find something you truly excel at.""I do hope so," Mia said, pouting at him. She leaned in closer, but the moment was broken by the sound of the landline phone ringing downstairs."Oh that reminds me, I need to call on one of the flock." He stood up. "I'll leave you to unpack Mia. If you need anything, I'm sure Jenna can assist you. I have to go out. I'll see you later. Take care!"He hurried out of the bedroom."I think I'm gonna love it here," Mia giggled to herself. "I think I need to, repair my relationship with God." She gave the most mischievous of grins as she flopped back in bed."But I also plan on sinning, a lot!"Reverend Morris rushed down the stairs."That was the garage on the phone," Jenna said, putting down the receiver. "My car's passed its MOT and ready to be collected.""Great. I'll drop you off there as I just remembered I promised Gladys Wilcox I'd take her a copy of that paperback I recommended at last week's service. Hills of the North by Jenny Talwartz." He rummaged around on the coffee table and held up the book in question. "A thrilling tale set in rural England, about passion, blackmail and a woman's fulfilling journey to find romance and regain her faith.""Sounds a good one.""It got rave reviews on Amazon. I was worried it might be a bit too racy for some of the older members of the congregation. I haven't had chance to read it yet but apparently it contains violence and several sex scenes.""Right up Gladys Wilcox's alley I'd say," Jenna replied, grinning. "I keep telling you, there's something kinky going on between her and the churchwarden. Okay, give me five minutes, and I'll be ready. Need to have a quick word with our non-paying guest.""You're alright with her staying, aren't you? Sorry, I tend to just dive in and say yes to everything. Your cousin seems like such a lovely person.""I don't mind, but she's not the innocent little thing you think she is," Jenna said. "Oh she's not a criminal or anything, but she can be a bit, indiscreet at times.""Aren't we all a bit like that at eighteen? Not much life experience to fall back on.""Hmm, I suppose. I will phone Aunt Kathleen later and let her know that Mia's staying here. I'd better prepare to gently break the bad news that her daughter won't be getting those letters after her name."Mia was admiring herself in the wall mirror when Jenna came in, and closed the bedroom door."Alright you. Now how about giving me the whole truth about why you quit uni? You're good, but your acting skills need work. Better make it quick as Simon's waiting to give me a lift to the garage, so spill."The brunette took a deep breath. "Alright. Look, don't give me too much grief. I did something wrong and that's why I had to quit.""What happened?""I seduced my lecturer and slept with him."She gasped. "You did what?" After the initial shock, Jenna couldn't help but admire her cousin's brazen attitude. Seeing as she herself had seduced several men from the church, plus a former Catholic priest, and most recently, the town mayor. Not to mention there were her weekly "organ lessons" with Gordon,"So he was old enough to be my dad. Maybe grandad. He was like, late fifties or something. But he was so hot. Older men really turn me on. You must know how that feels. I mean, your husband is way older than you, right?""Yeah. I'm twenty-one and he's forty." Jenna admitted. "Eighteen and late fifties is one hell of an age gap though.""I know. Oh but Jen. Tom was such a sexy man. Just the type I like. He was a smoker, but not a heavy one. Kind of used to turn me on, smelling smoke on his breath. It added to the attraction, as weird as that sounds. The sex was amazing. Older men are just sexier,”Jenna gave a dreamy sigh. "Yep they are. Can't disagree with you there. Realizing she suddenly had a lot more in common with her cousin, she sat down next to her. "Tell me more about Tom."And so Mia gave her chapter and verse on her spicy adventures at Salford.

Tonight, we'll read a short story by John Burroughs called “The Exhilaration of the Road” that we first read in 2020. It is taken from a compilation titled “The Footpath Way”, an anthology for walkers, published in 1911. John Burroughs was an American nature essayist, active in the U.S. conservation movement. In the words of his biographer Edward Renehan, Burroughs' special identity was less that of a scientific naturalist than that of "a literary naturalist with a duty to record his own unique perceptions of the natural world." The result was a body of work whose resonance with the tone of its cultural moment explains both its popularity at that time, and its relative obscurity since. Burroughs accompanied many personalities of the time in his later years, including Theodore Roosevelt, Henry Ford (who gave him an automobile), and Thomas Edison. According to Ford, "John Burroughs, Edison, and I made several vagabond trips together. We went in motor caravans and slept under canvas.” — read by 'N' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus! Learn more about your ad choices.

Mindful Weight Loss with Michelle Tubman, MD

Friends, it's 2024 and I can't even believe it! I'm actually recording this at the end of 2023 and Rob and I just came back from an amazing trip to Costa Rica. His 50th birthday trip! On one of the last days of our trip, I had an experience that was pretty profound for me. After that, Rob looked at me and said I had to do a podcast episode about it. At the time I didn't think it had anything to do with the podcast but he insisted there were so many parallels. As I thought about it, I realized he was right. So here we are in 2024 and I'm going to tell you about my experience in Costa Rica and how it led to this episode about facing fears and being bold in conquering those fears. Are you ready? I'm excited to share, so let's go!The story is about a diving platform on a two-storey catamaran that Rob and I went on. I wanted so badly to jump off that 15 ft high platform into the gorgeous water but fear kept me from doing it. I'm afraid of heights and I would just get paralyzed when I stood on the platform. I couldn't do it. But when we sat down for lunch it was nagging at me that I hadn't jumped and I just realized I needed to do it. So I handed my food to Rob, marched over to that platform, and jumped. And friends, the exhilaration of that jump! I felt so powerful. It was so much fun but also I had conquered a profound fear by facing it. The parallel is in our health journeys. I had started intuitive eating before I recently made the shift for good but didn't approach it right and gave up. I was afraid of giving up the control that diets seemed to give me. This time, though, I faced that fear and approached intuitive eating with my desire for health. I conquered that fear. This episode is all about conquering fears, facing our fear of letting go, facing our own judgement and paralysis. What are you afraid of? How are you going to jump off the boat this year? I want to encourage you to find and face that fear, and then write to me about how you did it and how you feel. Welcome to 2024 and jumping off the boats! About Dr. Michelle TubmanDr. Michelle Tubman is a physician and health coach. She helps women ditch dieting and thrive at any size. For the longest time, she believed that weight loss was the answer to all her problems. But decades of yo-yo dieting and restriction left her miserable, unhealthy, and exhausted. Now she teaches women how harmful dieting can be and shows them the way to true health and wellness.As a physician specializing in both emergency and obesity medicine, with additional training in nutrition, eating psychology, and coaching, Michelle can tell you with certainty that dieting is dangerous. Studies associate compromised health more with yo-yo dieting than higher body weight. Yet, everywhere you turn, shrinking your body is hailed as the solution. Women don't need to change. Attitudes do. So let's stop self-shaming, speak out against sizeism, and fiercely champion unconditional self-celebration!__Learn more about Dr. Michelle Tubman and Wayza Health:Website: www.wayzahealth.comFollow me on Facebook and Instagram

Have you ever felt like your life was just the same ol' routine? Do you wish there was something to give you that jolt of adrenaline rush and surge of energy? Being scared can be uncomfortable, but can also be exciting! Sometimes, our own internal need for control, safety and self-protection can hold us back and keep us from testing our sense of living and feeling fully alive. Rather than avoidance, you can approach and move towards what exhilarates you. Recognize what thrills you, and find ways to incorporate more of that in your life, because a life over-safe can be a life under-lived.

The Personal History, Adventures, Experiences & Observations of Peter Leroy

16FROM EXHILARATION came inspiration. All I mean by that is that the exhilaration I felt at having stood up to Mr. Summers put me in a state of mind that encouraged the development of an idea that came to me at about the same time. Inspiration is, I think, nothing more than the name we give after the fact to the arrival of those of our ideas that turn out well. On this subject, Porky asked me not long ago, “Where the heck do our ideas come from, after all? What makes them take one form rather than another? You know how it is some days—nothing seems to go right: the computer-controlled microwave deep-fat fryers I ordered will not boil oil no matter how high I set the thermostats, and every time I try to call the manufacturer I get an answering service. My mind isn't working any better. Every idea I get is like a cold French fry. On other days, the sun shines, life is glorious, people are lined up twelve deep outside Kap'n Klam shops all over America, and my mind leaps and darts. Even bad ideas shimmer in the sunlight like foamy wavelets, you know what I mean? But get this: the interesting ideas, the ideas that are worth pursuing, are as likely to have been dragged out of the sludge of one of those dull days as to have come gliding in on the surf of one of the brilliant ones. Now I ask you this: on which days am I inspired?”     Weeks earlier, I had been in a state of mind that had made me fear demotion, made me fear losing status in the Tars, and I had thought of resigning as a way of saving myself from worse disgrace. Now my state of mind was very different from what it had been then, and the idea had come to me that I could accomplish much more by resigning than merely making the best of a bad situation. The will to work returned because I had a reason to work. I knew what I was going to do. I was going to make the manual perfect, and when it was perfect I was going to make sure that no Scribe-come-lately could change it. I was going to carve it in stone. I was going to bring my journey as Scribe to an end.     First, I made “A Tar does things by the manual” the foremost Trait, and from there on everything fell into place, though it still took an awful lot of work. I spent every night working on the manual, trying as hard as I could to make it exactly what I wanted it to be by the next meeting, including the only one of the Tales for Tars that seemed to me anywhere near ready for the Tars to see, the one I'd found myself working on most often, the one I called “Mutiny.”In Topical Guide 231, Mark Dorset considers “Inspiration” and Foreshadowing from this episode.Have you missed an episode or two or several?You can begin reading at the beginning or you can catch up by visiting the archive or consulting the index to the Topical Guide.You can listen to the episodes on the Personal History podcast.

Soundscapes: Magic Kingdom Entrance Plaza In the bustling entrance plaza to the Magic Kingdom, there is an unmistakable buzz of excitement all around us. Before we walk beneath the train station tunnel and enter into the sunlit splendor of Main Street, U.S.A., there's a moment that seems to whisk our worries away leaving us full of joyful anticipation for what's to come. Maybe you've spent time here. Waiting for the rest of your group to arrive or finalize that stroller rental. Perhaps you've stood in line to have a Photopass photographer take your picture in front of the iconic train station. Or maybe, like me, you've taken a seat under the shade of a tree, just to pause for a moment -- to savor this special space -- as you watch other guests rush by on their way to a favorite attraction. The Magic Kingdom is full of incredible things to see and do. It's understandable that many want to get right to it! But it's also full of moments like these that are meant to be savoured. Pause and allow that feeling of anticipation to be recognized. All that you've planned for it about to unfold. Exhilaration sparkles like pixie dust as we embark upon our journey Here. Wonder is held in every moment. In this place whose very existence is a testament to the truth that no dream is too great. Now, imagine if every day was like this one, if each new morning brought with it a sense of anticipation, this feeling that something wonderful is waiting just around the corner. Joy, like Magic, is everywhere! It's living within and moving alongside us each and every day, waiting for us to pause, to look up and all around, to sense its presence. There you are. If we can remember the joy that we feel Here in this place, then we can remember the Magic too, and then carry it with us into every moment of each and every day. So, dare to dream. Let joy surround you. Reach out and find your happily ever after. Welcome to the Most Magical Place on Earth! ----- Want More Here With The Magic?

Oh dude, we love that song way too much, but listen, let's stop fucking around and come in a boar shit back again. It's been months when you get dark zero.zero, Dar. You never know what to expect.Danny.Danny pulling up on my family mother fucking right. Well, the fucking dude Danny sent, I mean, you were heading, and I don't know if everybody knows along with being motherfucking GI, Joe, and about that, a fucking super dad and a million other things. This mother fucker does. He's an incredible fuck photographer and great video of a great eye.And he was, he liked took off in between. When we last talked in him, he was really starting to kind of like engage and then we just lost sight of Danny. But all of a sudden, we started seeing him emerge on the digital world websites, a social immediately. You start seeing what this dude started, opening up a fucking can of fucking bad-ass shit.Wait a second. W w what did he emerge with, like, what is it fucking that whole modal inner city Moro, meek mill. I don't even know what you call there, riding with all the motor and the quads and everything fucking dropped in deep into that world. He'll tell you you've been bouncing from fucking Florida to fucking Philly, to fucking SF to New York.All the cities dude, like end it with these cats, representing soul assassin, cookies, and fucking capturing all this videos and photography. Correct. How did you come up? How did you come up with. Um, actually right after I did this, I had went to Florida with some friends and they introduced me to it. Cause I was, I just didn't want to be in the same lane as everybody else in our crew and everything.So, you know, I wanted to do my own thing and kind of branch off. Yeah. Even though it wasn't like part of our normal get down, you know what I mean? I seen something that was going to be bigger than people seeing over here. How did it, how did, how did it start out? Like a moon? When did you first, like in your mind, somebody come up and say, bro, you gotta check.No one of my friends at the time, she, uh, told me to come check this out. And I thought it was dope because I'm into extreme shit. So I've rode bikes before I did all that, I almost killed myself on our bikes. I was like, this is right up my alley. Let's go check it out. And I went out there and it was a wrap.After that you go out to check, you know, you talking about Florida. Okay. So when you go out to check something out, how do you, what, what gear do you bring with, are you bringing any gears? It's just, you know, I went out there and I had my camera there. But I just went out there and not knowing like, and it's different, like shooting action stuff is way different than, oh, I'm going to shoot this broad.That's half naked, like standing still, this is like, you have a moment to catch it and then it's gone. You can't replicate that scenario again in traffic live shit. Not like let's set up a whole thing. It's fucking at high speeds, dangerous oncoming traffic on top, all that. Right. So then let's, let's look at it.So it's kind of like it's, I mean, maybe it's a little bit like trying to capture nature. There's no redo it's whatever's happening right in front of you. Like hunts, kills audits, everything falls out. People wrecking, everything. I got all that kind of shit. Cops chasing us. Like every single thing that you could imagine.Uh, I've had it on camera. And how immersed is hip hop into that movement? Oh yeah. You'll see. In every music videos nowadays, it's huge. You'll see music videos. There's people on dirt bikes or these rappers that are, want to get dirt bikes and start doing shit. And, well, wait a second. Now, is it dirt bikes or is it rice rockets?No, no, no. We're talking dirt bikes.and four wheelers. Like how is that? Let me ask you this. How is it a hip hop, dirt bike? Would it be different or tricked out in a different way than a regular dirt bike or is it no, it's not even about the thereby being tricked out or nothing like that. It's about just your style, your riding, the vibe you bring, like everybody on a bike is literally on a bike to get away from shit.That's going on with. You know what I mean? So help me out a second here. All right. Dang. Cause I'm in, I'm in the world from the fashion standpoint or from the apparel standpoint industry, it's all our stuff, but at S so let's just say it was about 2011, maybe 2012, and I'm running, you know, sales marketing over at young and reckless.Right. And we engage in meek and we decide, we think at that point in time, that it's a good idea. We're just kind of being turned on to this whole Moto thing around 2012, but it's coming to us through meek mill where we know that it's in some other places, but there isn't a big face behind it, like meek was right.So we, we were like, you know, some of our guys were out there checking shit out, and then they came out here and brought their bikes. Chickpeas meat comes from Philly to LA and they have all their bikes fucking trucked over. Right. Zach goes to fifties quads and I throw out the idea to drama and D amen.Less. Cause we're going to do a shoot with him for young and records. I go, well, why don't we have a Stefan do the photo shoot and the video let's do it all. So we got to step on and we went out to the fucking dunes and fucking, we filmed this thing and I was blown away in real life. What that shit was when they mobbed out.And there was about, they had about 20 guys and 20 bikes. I mean, quad bikes, everything. And they were in LA and, uh, it was, the shoot was powerful, man. It had, it was dope, man, to see it, man, Steven did it got dope shit. And that's kinda how I got introduced. And that's what started introducing me to looking further into it and seeing.How this, this movement was spreading bro, and very deep and like the Northeast and some of the Southeast and super particular areas, you know, and how engage our, how many mashed hip hop was all this man, the hood, and like all that it's, it comes from that. We graduated from bikes, bicycles, you know, now the hood said, fuck it.We're going to get on a real bikes. Like that's the. Like we don't ride around on a bicycle bicycles, no more, this shit. We're 21, right? The smallest thing they're riding or those little fucking mini bikes. Right. Because I see those, I seen cruiser them that got him going 40 miles an hour yesterday, kids on the, on, in downtown LA where me and Mike been talking about doing something with cookies with them.I rode from downtown yesterday, all the way to, to Venice and fucking through sunset Melrose, everything. And there was a mini bike that was rocking with us the whole time. Really? Yeah. He was just, oh, we slowed down. We don't go fast because we're on quads. So we're just willing and. Yeah. Taking our time.We're not trying to speed Willie. And he was chilling. We'd have to stop a bunch just because it's gas. But after a while he was like, I might head back. We're like, yeah, cool. We were done babysitting running, but yeah, they're outside. Everybody's outside. And that's funny that you said the thing about meek, because one of my boys, one of my really good friends in the shit, he's a clutch, the bike star.He's he's from New York. Right. So me and him got super close. That's my boy clutch. Yeah. Clinton's from New York. Yeah. So there's and there's cliques within all of this shit. So that's what I heard. Yeah. So he's a bike star. So like they're their own click, like, so they got people all across America that they think that I wrapped them, wrap them that put them was for me.Right. It's like a hood, like right. They put them on now. They're whatever their name is. Club. Yeah, exactly. So name plus bikes are so. He's my boy. So he's like come out to New York, come out with me. Boom. He's like, all right, we're going to go do some show and ride that de. Pop up, fly to New York, hop in the car.He's got all kinds of weed for me. He's like here, what do you want? Whatever flavor you want. All right. Go to the mechanic. He's got phentenol Xanax, uh, nothing like that. So then we go, he's like, we're gonna go to the mechanic and leave your bag over there. I was like, all right, cool. Boom. We leave my bag.Don't even go to the house, hop on bikes and heads. Like heads-up really shit. Yeah. Fucking show up, bro. I didn't even sit down. I got hopped right on the bike and we rode all the way at the time. Square met up with meek mill, Jim Jones and all of them and rode through times square and all that shit with me within like hours of getting a fucking bad ass thing.Getting off of the fucking bike off the plane. I was on a bike with me. I was like, this shit is crazy. Mixer for going through times square. Like when you're going through times square like that, you're just like in awe, like, and everybody's there at times square to look, look at times square, but they're all looking at you and you're just like, that's the biggest stage that you, you know what I mean?Look at that shit, bro. It's crazy. I think it's dope, bro. Do you have a up for a camera on your bike so that you can. So you got like a, what? A golfer, like I'm like wondering no, wait, why you ask that? I've been wondering this whole time. What the fuck are you doing? Like, are you doing this shit? That's what, like, even my boy, one of our boys, the other day, we had a huge ride.I went through a huge here for MLK and had like hella bikes, probably a thousand bikes out here, riding with us right from across the nation. Like they came, right. So we're riding out there and we get off the bike and he's like, bro, how the fuck do you do. Because I literally have a camera set up for you to shoot with your right hand.Right. But the throttles on the right hand. So I'm on a quad too. So I use, I, Willie, I do everything too. So I'll fucking be riding, have my camera strapped around my neck, get in position, put my left hand across my body to grab that. And the whole time I'm shifting downshifting with my left foot, just engaging with the, you know what I mean, the gears without a clutch.And then I'm still leaning over lane down, like shooting pictures and doing all that shit at the same exact time, bad ass. So my boy. Bro. How the fuck do you usually people will be like, all right, we'll get a quad. I drive and you'll be on the back and you just shoot. Right, right. But I do it all by myself because, well, I got tired of fucking, I don't want to be a man on another man's back like that.Like, here's on the left side for it. You know what I mean? You could do well. Yeah. But, but, but do you think it changes the quality of your shots that you're engaged in activism? I probably miss some, but I make so many more than you miss a lot, but you know me, nobody can, right. Ain't nobody ain't told me shit.Ain't nobody shooting and doing that shit. Like. Doing the passenger word that I'm doing. Like, I don't give a fuck. Right. That's like some Vernor Hertzog shit, man. That's like, those are the types of documentarians that like get into the actual fucking thing and they're shooting it, directing it, you know, doing it and all that other stuff.Like yesterday, I, I wrote, I wrote, I didn't take my camera. Not nothing even my boys are like, man, west don't even want to fucking take pictures no more. He's just enjoying himself so much. And sometimes it's like the I'm not always out there just to take pictures. I want to go out there and to myself too, it just so happens.That that's what I do. But that's part of your, your lifestyle. Yeah. So you're working in, but you want to be able to put up the worksheet and your people and your shit. Yeah. And so when you go out to Florida and you're kind of, sort of being introduced to this and is that the time that you got hooked up with whoever.That was the time when I clocked in with started seeing this shit and building these relationships. And then once I got back over here, and it's weird though, because over there you see if I go over there right now, they're at the very beginning of their low-rider community really taken off now. So we're at the very beginning of our bike life stuff taken off.So it's like, I seen the exchange of culture starting to grow on both sides right now. Just, you know, I'll say I, because I've written quads all my life. Right. But I was like on a reservation or I was out in the sticks. So I wasn't. Doing anything in the city with it necessarily, and actually dirt, bikes and quads.At that time, when I was coming up was kind of like a kind of, I mean, all redneck thing kinda right. And Florida obviously is kind of famous for its rednecks, but the issue is, is I'm seeing other cultures grab that and put it in other kind of, um, environments and seeing what it can do in other environments.Do you think that the influence came from the Southeast and it, and it's pushing this dynamic? Um, no. I came from the east like Philly and all that shit. We're making them from that's like the, that's like the motherland of where the shit like started. It just grew from there because they don't even like to be honest, the east coast don't even pay attention to us like that on the west coast, on this bike life, shit yet quiet because we're so young, even though we got people out here that can put up with a lot of them, you know what I mean?But we're just so young. There's like so many dynamics behind things that we're not even up to date on, like people that are beefing because of this and that, but that whole bike life shit is like a whole community of, of stuff like that. That we're not even in tune yet without here. And I know because of the relationships that I have out east, you know what I mean?That's the only reason I know a bunch of shit about what the culture is and why people don't fuck with certain people and what the, really, the real dynamic behind the most of the relationships does everything have to have some kind of politics attached to it. Always, always. Oh, it is. That's just how human nature.And I think everybody too, man, like there's a piece of everybody wants to be a part of everybody wants to, once there's a few people want to create a community as something cool. And once that community starts to gain other people, see it and they want to be a part of that. They want to join something and it goes for everything I think goes for it.And that certainly car clubs, motorcycle, gangs, motorcycle club, all these kickoffs neighborhoods. So this, when, and when you have that, then you have. A group of people with a common goal. And that's where you're going to have all the politics that go on. You know what I agree with that in, in obviously every nation, every subculture, all that stuff represented, what does it mean?Who are, you know, all that shit. And Danny makes a good point in human, wherever the humans are. There's going to be some politics. But I am also thinking that while you're right, like there is a common goal. It's like a point at which in the, any culture where the common goal gets overridden by the goals of politics and you start losing the focus.Yeah. The pure that's why like, I've got to see that shit. So like, I, that's why I focus on shit with the guys that I fuck with out here. Like. Companies that I work with, like the bang shit or like cookies or the lit Coco or like solo sassy. I'll get these companies to fork out some bread. And then we go, like we went and handed out Turkey, whole ass Turkey dinners to families.This last Thanksgiving with some of the guys, another time we went out there and fed the homeless. With all the guys from bikes, like we all went out there, went to skid row. The other homie that I have lane, he has no legs. He rides with us. He has prosthetics on a four Wheeler. He went out there, he cooked for all the homeless people and we got together and gave out food, like guy with no legs over there cooking for a bunch of homeless people out of that.Is there an aspect of it that, because I mean, there's a certain kind of spirit that goes with riding a bike and being in the outdoors and feeling the fucking power, feeling the wind in your face and all that shit. At least that's how I feel when I ride bikes. Right? Like there's an aspect of it where you feel real free is any of that.Um, cause you know, does any of that seem like it is healing in a way? Yeah, of course. That's why everybody's out there. They're trying to escape here, get it in a moment away from everybody for freedom. All right. I hear that about car clubs. I hear that about all sources, the social surfing, skateboarding, whatever.But if they're in a group, it's a chance for them to break away from their normal life and almost be a kid or be with, you know what I'm saying? Like it's an escape, some sort, bro, especially our group that are our packs that ride together. We have packs. Our whole pack is a bunch of people that don't even, shouldn't even be in the same room, hanging out chilling.I got hell no, I got, we got bloods, Crips essays. You know what I mean? You got everybody you got every single crew there. That don't fuck with each other on the regular, like, you know what I mean? But then do you have a driver in there too? Somewhere? Probably I'll guarantee there's I was thinking maybe the ups and the FedEx guy get down parking lot.Um, no, but, but so through this, that's almost like this neutral thing where all of them it's, it's a brotherhood amongst. Yeah, exactly. So it, even the people that are there that, you know what I mean, they want to get away from that shit every once in a while. You know what I mean? That's bigger than their yeah.They was actually describes to that. Yeah. Because it's, they're there for that. There's an understanding amongst them because they know that they're there for that one, same reason that same they're there because they understand that, that person's there for the same reason that they're there, that feeling of getting away from all that bullshit that they're dealing with, you know what I mean?Exhilaration, having fun, enjoying your shit, like everybody's there initially to have fun. And then sometimes I, she gets lost into competition and this and that, because everybody wants to be seen, heard. That's why the. Yeah, that's interesting. Yeah. That's my perspective. At least I can't speak for everybody, but from what I see and what I see in the community, that's what, so we, but we, you feel like, or, you know, Philly was really the ones that really took this shit and really started making this happen.This is the east coast. I'll give it that. I don't want to say specifically, cause I know somebody will listen and be like, nah, my grandmaIf you think about it, you would almost want to say, how did that not come out of the west coast? We have so much more access to this stuff. There's way more. That makes way more sense. On the west coast than it does the east. Well, this is why I was thinking maybe it was like a country thing, right. Or country thing.Right. Or the west. Because the open spaces that you guys like before there was no, there was no like club maybe that never made it special. I don't know. But at blue mountain where my cabin is, right. My LA my whole entire. I've written quads and dirt bikes up and down that shit. And most of the roads are logging trails.So there's no, there's no like pavement or whatever, and you're doing shit and fucking around, but you're having that same experience of being free. No, one's watching you. You want to go fast, you go fast. You want to go? So you want to, you want to try something? You can, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.So I was thinking like maybe, and that's why I said redneck, but I was meaning country. And there's a lot of African-American rednecks, you know, they they're from the country and they might be doing the same shit or hunting I've hunted on quads before. So that's why I was thinking that. But if it started in Philly, this.Uh, east coast, inner city, east coast, and then that's that. But you know, I've read a lot of, uh, books about people who on the east. There's a lot of interchange between, uh, family members that some are living in the city and some are living in the country and they're related and they visit each other in the summers.And so there may be some influence that gets picked up that way. I've also seen situations where dudes that got gaffled up in the night. Then move down to the south, to their cousins that just let shit, you know, whatever cool out. And then they might get exposed to some country living. That's actually something they might enjoy.Yeah. So what, so what, and so where would meek mill, do you think meek mill was able to kind of center in on this? Or how did he around him? It's that whole area is just, and it was probably engulfed in it and there's probably was a couple other, but he was the guy that was hot and chose to take that with him.Right. You got it. You got into it as a kid, too. Right. There's videos of him doing it super young and the guy went to fucking jail for it, bro. Also, but he used that. He brought that with him too. Yeah. And he was hot and he stayed on it like it was around, but there wasn't a face. Stuart is what I'm saying.Meek mill was what I tie and associate the face of it. And it probably needed that to get it out there because, and I'm sure that that was responsible. That was fucking old 2011, 12. I'm talking about right in over that time, this thing has done nothing but grow like cancer. Sure. I'm an also think that like in certain level of economic situations that we're in right now, we're loaned itself to that, right?Absolutely cheaper gas, fucking Bubba, Bubba, Bubba. Right. Well, I, I could ride my bike all day on like $8. You know what I mean? Like why I could be distracted and have fun all day for $8. Y w what do you do for me? $8. That's going to make me have that much fun. You'll be distracted. And meanwhile, motherfucker, Ms.Kim fucking leaving her work or run your ass over. You're not paying attention. So what's up with the falls, man. You said you caught some of that footage. I mean, do these guys fall a lot? Oh yeah. Really? Everybody falls, especially that all trying to push it, like, right. There's a whole, there's a whole culture in it about like, who could do the best tricks, this and that.Right. Or like people that put passengers on the bikes and do stuff with them. Like there's different, like brackets within them. So it's just. When they push it. Yeah. It's inevitable. And I see them fall all the time too. This sometimes it would be really bad sometimes the name too bad, but any hospital trips, like all the time.Yeah. All the time road, rash road rashes. Normal aren't light. Fuck man. And my, my sister she's she's Prager. She's about to deliver a little fucking baby. My nephew in March, her husband, TD Tyler Daniels. If he's listening to this, I'm talking about you, you fucker, country, right? Uh, yeah. Out of Oakleigh, out of Oklahoma, you can't get much more like fucking country crop in that pan away.Good guys. Good to my sister at her baby shower. W it worked. She was in Arizona. He got on a quad in where we're at up in Scottsdale. There's a bunch of like, just desert behind the houses were washes and everything. And this jamoke gets on a and quieter and he's riding around and going with fast. I don't know what by himself, he hit Barb wire.Oh shit. Right. Wrapped around tie flew the thing landed on top of them. Right. A quad landed on tower and the fucking thing. So my, my sister who's like, you know, six months pregnant gets a call from TDSIC. She went to go, she rescued him. The pregnant mom went to rescue the husband and she got him and he was on the ground with a huge cut.Right below his eye, he had to get stitches, broke three ribs, right. And was laid up and his ribs still ain't. Right. And he's got a permanent scar on my sister was like, he's got his guy. I'm like, you're a girl. I know from your perspective of scarring, if it's the worst thing, but he's going to be able to lie about that scar later.And it looked like a tough motherfucker and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Right. Which do you prefer, do you prefer quiet or do you prefer dirt bike or you don't compare the two? Um, I'm just, I prefer a quad because I'm shooting pictures, you know, it's easier for me to manage all that shit on a dirt bike.It's going to be 10 times harder to do all that shit, you know? So I'm just like, fuck. Quads my way to go. And it's, it's less shit I got to worry about. I mean, people think quads are somehow saver, but they're not, they can be there like turning when you're going fast and turning, you can fuck on roller Quatro.Real fucking, yeah. You gotta know how to shift your weight and do all that shit. And then, especially when you're getting chased, it's lot harder too, because then you can't just squeeze between two last cars with the bike. So you got to, you're taking sidewalks, whatever the fuck you gotta do. You haven't chased last night, allegedly nothing.They just try, they can't fuck with us. Like. I got, all I got to do is turn around three times and get in traffic and you're fucked. So allegedly last night you were wrong. Yup. And who was it? Did the lights come on and when the lights come on, does that excite you? Like, yeah, I got this bitch now. I just think this guy's a dickhead and he's stupid.And why is he fucking with us? Cause he was like, bro, you know that you're not going to catch us. But then sometimes they do catch people. Cause there's like, we call them worms, new guys that are, get bikes and they don't know what the fuck they're doing. And then they panic and they're like, oh, freak the fuck out.So then they either like req they fucking stall out or fucking do something else stupid. And then. Right. Those, those are the guys that they're hoping to catch, but the rest, the rest of them just chill. A lot of times, they'll just, I'll just cruise and let them sit behind this for a little bit. And then I'll just like, well, just make one move.And then it's done. Like really they're waiting for it. Yeah. They're, they're sitting there too. They're just, do they ever, is there ever been a time where they chased you a little bit and then like, but it was like in a certain extent, like they were having fun and you're having fun. Um, sometimes here, but I've been in another state, like.Allegedly when I was in Atlanta, whatever your funny peacocks, got it. Exclusively stream classic sitcoms, like the office parks and recreation and Sue and a half net plus cats, peacock, original comedies like AP bio and saved by the bell for all your exclusive comedy phase could have peacock tv.com and get started, bro.That shit was crazy. That shit out there, like, no, they have, they're allowed to hit you there. And they are battering Rams on their shit and they kill people last year. They killed somebody and then my other homie, Joey Glocks, this will he fucking. Hit this full then drove his ass into the curb and crushed his leg, crushed his bike.And he's in, he's in a whole ass thing with them right now over it. He just got better now to where he's. He's cool. He can ride, bro. That shit is crazy that they don't play out there. They try to hit me, try to fuck me up and everything. I was gone. I had to get out on them, their helicopter, everything had to take him to the airport so I could lose the helicopter row.It was that shit was GTA five. George is on some other shit, man, no fly zone. You got to think about shit. This is shit that like people, they come into this bike shit don't know. Like they got to educate themselves on things like this. Like, all right, you're getting chased and you got helicopters are, listen to figure that out.And this world, they just don't know. But I mean, I didn't, there's also a part of me. That's like, you know, maybe you're built for this kind of shit, Danny. Yeah. Just set up for fame. No, no, no. I'm not trying to say it like that. I'm trying to say it like, I mean, go with him. Why can't you roll with them? Roll with them.You know why? I want to be real. I want to say, all right, listen, you want to know why, why you want to know why you're skinny. Ain't dark enough. Boy, my wife that's right. My wife's skin is dark and she gonna fucking rip my Dick off. If I get hurt. Because Tega my daughters, my wife, don't brother, man. I that's a one.My son, my son showed up wanting to ride a motorcycle. I'd be bummed the fuck out. No, no guilt right there, bro. I've lost friends in my life. You've lost friends early on. I lost three friends early on, got taken out and it was on all three. It wasn't even their fault. Right. Two are sitting on both on a bike ride, taken out.The other two ones just got ran over and the other one's got waiting at a light, just got taken out by a motherfucking cab. Listen, I written by X through LA. I've done it and I wasn't married other stuff. Ain't I wasn't trying to do anything crazy either. I wasn't like trying to. Nah, no, but the bike slid out from you at least once or twice.And I definitely fucked up my entire side of the leg and I pretended like it didn't hurt, you know, all the other shit, but every time I took a shower, it was like fucking fire on motherfucker. I laid the ballet at seven 50 triple down all last year, nigga on that on-ramp that fucking, that seven 50 triple Kawasaki.And when you hit a certain amount of RPMs, this VRBO kicked in and I was just getting on the bike, just getting on a bike. Wasn't even my bike, bro. And I was borrowing. Two hours and I got on and I was going too fast on this fucking on-ramp and I go, and I'm going to look and it fucking shout out for my bike man.And back then I ended up having to pay fucking hundreds of dollars. My dad fixed my towel. Shit was fucking, yeah, it was 360 pounds, but he was always trying to like fucking do some fucking buy just shit. So he had a real, a big ass Kawasaki, fucking dirt bikes street, legal right. Big fucker. I don't know what it was, but it was a real dirt bike.And it was in Arizona where they got the washers and all this other stuff. So he will ride around, but he was only on the pavement. Right. And you ride around and he would be mixing this giant fucking or venti size, fucking rum and Cokes, you know, and with the neighbors, right. He, Ron rum and Cokes out there on a fucking fat as fuck.I swear to God now listen for bus. He, he had a monster client, uh, Steve clap, if you're listening to this, uh, you don't pay him my money. So I could say whatever the fuck I want, but Steve clap his son, uh, to the Weyerhaeuser fortunate in Washington, which is the biggest logging. One of the biggest ones in the world guys were 350 million and my dad ingratiated himself.Right? So this guy, Steve clap, who only. To like, you know, like boarding schools and, you know, dah, dah, hair plugs, all that stuff. Want to be a tough guy. So my dad had him and Lou and everybody out in there drinking, and this guy, Steve Klatt got on the bike was going around the neighborhood circle. And then when he went in front of the guy, she was smoking a cigar too.When he went in front of the guys, Steve clacks stood up on the, on the pegs and he lifted his, his head and had the Shugar clenched in his teeth. Right. And he was like, ah, and he ran smack into someone's house. Oh shit. Fucked his whole face up. Fuck everything up. What's his name? Steve, clap to piece to Steve clap.Got clapped on. Got . Have you ever seen guys like show off and maybe they went like a worm showing up? Oh, it's all the time. Everybody that is in bike life that has a camera always says it. As soon as you bust out the camera, everybody tries to go crazy. They're like, this is my big, this is my moment to shine.And then that's when they fucking, they fucked up. That's the moment. Yeah, they got to juiced up on that shit because that shit goes Ziad. Sometime when you pull the camera out. Oh no. I to wait for the crowd has got to keep shooting. The thing is, cause sometimes I was like, oh fuck, I'll be right behind them when they wreck.So I got to look about the way. And not run over the motherfucker. So that's why it's like hard because I'm one hands on the wheel across my body and everything. So it's like, that's it. The reason why I was saying that Danny is built for this, not a gossip up, but I was thinking about the last time we talked to Danny, he was down in the middle of the protests and fucking on the front lines facing crazy fucking, I can only imagine the Drennan that was going on at that time.And then before that dude, you, you were in combat and stuff. So I'm thinking to myself, how does a guy like Danny? You know what I mean? Like, how do you say all right, well, now it's time for you to get your little house and your two car garage and you're going to lay down and chill out. And right now, am I wrong?No, you're right. I that's like, that's the thing that I probably have been battling with right now, like the most in my life. Like, cause since that last thing, like my marriage is gone, the shit is fucking done. So everything's kind of like gone awry. Yeah. I know. That was a, another kind of thing. Without me speaking out of term, you were kind of going through that.And would you say that you. Pursuing, this was, was kind of something that came along with the separation. Like you took advantage of that to kind of find yourself or, yeah, I kind of got out of it and I kinda like, I think I like got involved in it for the same reason everybody else is involved in it, of course, to get away to escape.But then I like complicated it by doing other shit, you know, that wasn't conducive to them part of my life, fucked that all up. Right. Cause you just dove in, I just like went all the way in and fucking use that and just ran right. That shit. Fuck it up. It's not just, it's not just vets or whatever, but I've been, I've read, I've been reading about, I did a lot of reading about the jungle.Not just the guys that sit back in pilot, the drones, and then the intelligence that goes in. But the teams that are working with the drone guys, once they get a target and they get the green light and those guys that are waiting for the drones to give the targets and give the green light, like they're waiting.They're not like, ah, we don't want to go out again. They're pumping up and waiting for the next mission. Cause they want ha that's how they're built. They want to have that fucking situation hunt. And then when these guys come home, right, what I'm like reading about it. And I'm like, you know, and it's a pretty, like, it happens a lot.A lot of these guys have a hard time trying to settle back down into some kind of domestic situation when they've been like three or four years out. They're in a real situation with different things going on. What do you think, do you think. I mean, of course it's possible, but I guess what I'm trying to get to is what kind of work would be required for somebody to be able to let that go so that they would settle down?Or is that maybe not possible? Uh, I don't even know. You see me fidgeting, buttoning up my jacket over here. Yeah, I man, there's a dude. You're on, I'm going to make a, I'm going to make a comparison, right? Go ahead and similarity right now because he is going there and he seeking that. Now, if you were to backtrack and start looking at motorcycle clubs.Yeah, bro. Yeah. When they really started growing in the sixties. Right. And there half of it was compiled of vets, that stuff. Like they had been done wrong and left out that's that we're almost rebels and that we're going to ban up because they showed up and they were shit on. And now all they had was each other and they jumped on these bikes with nowhere to go except their unity.Right. You know what I'm saying? That there's no coincidence that, that looks like this right now for him in this day and age, it's still seeking out. Where do I go to feel comfortable or folk, except I need to find my tribe that also lives on the edge as well. Well, so here's the thing like. Yeah, that and that on the road, nobody could stop me type of mentality.That guy unclench your fists. Okay. That guy, you know what I'm saying? No bond that they need to deal with to live in this world. They've got to have that. Yeah. But there's a disparity between, look what you're saying makes total sense to me. And I've been reading and preparation for black history month because I'm like, all right, Sean was like, well, but the person I'm reading on is a dude from LA.I won't give too many details. It's a dude from LA who fought in world war two and was one of the bravest motherfuckers again, when he came back right now, when he was over there, there were certain things he was fighting. Part of what he was fighting for. There was also the comradery and all that stuff, but there was something that he was fighting for that when he came back the world that he, that there was ready for him.There wasn't really about that. It was a different world. Did, was, does that's a world war two experience. Does that experience translate to you? I'm just like, all right. Remember the last time I was here, I said I had not been with a woman that had loved me remember. Yeah. So that became a whole thing and narrative in my life after I said that.So I had to further explain, like, I'm not a normal person. Like, you know what I mean? I'm not like some dude that didn't have all this craziest shit that we've talked about before happening in my life and I was wrong, you know what I mean? So my, my intention behind saying that is like, Everybody it's well, I think it goes for everybody.Everybody needs to be loved a certain way. Right. And everybody needs to be loved different. We just all have different love languages. Now imagine figuring that out with somebody that's been through all the shit I've been through. Like, it makes it even that more difficult. Not only that, but I'll put it even out here like this, because my girl and I go through this a little bit, and that is this, the expectations that society for the last 30 years has instructed people to think what love looks like is at odds with the realities of a real partnership, right?Like, like you're saying, love languages and dah, dah, dah, dah. And that's true, but there's another piece that's beyond that, which is. And I'm I, and when I say I'm dealing with it, I mean that my girl and I are going through these various stages together. And there's things that I thought when I was 20 things that she thought when she was 20, that love was supposed to be right.And it looks a lot like what's been pumped by the media and to everybody. So you buy silly shit, basically. Yeah. But the reality of it is a working partnership, as you know, would, dude's probably in, in, in a platoon or a fucking outfit, there's sometimes fighting there's sometimes this, that, and the other thing, that's part of it.That has to be part of it. It's not gonna look like, but to get to the place in a, in an outfit where the communication signals are, looks so nobody has to explain themselves and all that other stuff is a lot of actual work. It takes a long time to get there with a group of people and in a, in a relationship, the feeling of love.Doesn't mean that you're going to be able to communicate properly with the other. It's just a feeling. Yeah. Because the way that I've been taught and I'm sure for lucky too, is like, when we're younger, like we were never taught to communicate, like you shut the fuck up, keep that shit to yourself, mind your business.Don't fucking mind, nobody else's business. You know what I mean? And then I went to the military. Military is the same fucking way. Like we don't talk, we use hand signals, like, shut the fuck up, man up. Let's go do this, this and this and this. And then you come back and there are people who are like, Hey, you've had to use your words.You're like, yeah, you got to communicate. Tell me how you're feeling. Yeah. You're like, what the fuck? Like. But to be honest. Yeah. But to be honest, like the people that have been learning the most from about that shit is my kids. Right. Our kids nowadays there's their emotional intelligence is so crazy.It's remarkable. Like I sit down with my daughter and she'll talk to me and I'll be like, what the fuck? I'm like, wow. Right. You're tapped in. I agree with you that they're right there. I did. I'll tell you something. Our generation is still dealing with so much trauma, bro, for real like generational trauma that we've endured because of where we've come from.We've endured and perpetuated and you know, and do think about the amount of knowledge that a 15 year old kid has today. Knowledge. I'm not saying experience knowledge compared to when I was 15. Simply didn't have access to everything you have, but what does that do? Like what it does. It does a couple of things.Number one, this is another thing that I deal with in that regard. And that is, there is a lot of knowledge, right? And so a person can actually feel like I know about this, but the problem with it is, is that it's surface level knowledge. It's not expert experiential, right? So like it's a hard navigation because I have people in my farm that I work with that are like generation Z type people.And they have been exposed to a bunch of knowledge and it's not even necessarily experience, man. There's also a lack in our society of how to critique knowledge. Like you don't need a whole lot of experience to hear these messages or read an article and know like, wait a minute. There's certain elements that are missing or the logic doesn't flow.If you. Educated in understanding like this premise does not lead to the next premise, but you're just reading the information from a surface level. You're not even going to be able to evaluate the intelligence of that art, that article. And you may go back talking about, well, what love is is we're supposed to do X and I'm supposed to do Y and you're supposed to feel this.And, you know, man, I've been thinking about this so much with my girl. I'm building a malware. I look at it now between my wife and I I'm building an empire. And I'm not saying that lightly. I'm not saying like, oh, that's what every man and woman saying when they fucking get married for three years and then divorced.No, I'm talking about what I'm trying to build is more important than my own personal needs. Right, bro. Yes. But it doesn't look like always flowers. It also looks. Letting my family discipline me. Let him trying to take care of family members. You never even met before. No net. Oh, you mean in generations to come, right?Yes. But in order to do that, there are some things that I do that aren't good enough for that. There are some things that's been shown to me. It's not good enough for that. Right. And that's not about an end. It goes the other way too. I'm not some fucking dude that just lets people walk. But the thing of it is is that if what I'm trying to build is something for generations to come.That means my wife's generations to come to. That means my daughter's generations to come to it's beyond what it is that I'm thinking about for me personally, And I'm not perfect at it. I mean, there's pieces that I'm missing from there in my, and now I'm working on, it's kind of what I'm saying. I mean, I don't know about Jeffrey Mr.D's manager, but me personally at this age and where I'm at in life. I have a lot of the things I want on a day to day. Right. You know? Right. Sure. Really nice condo that's paid for no car note. Of course, you know, good Elsa. But I have the things, what I'm doing is I'm building what I'm building is I'm building for Vincent and Sophia, my grandson, right.I'm at this to turn that thing off. Oh, what do I want? Right. This is not about me at this stage. Again, there was time for that in my life that I maybe didn't take care of, but this is now has nothing to do with me. Right. What does that, what does that make you think about Danny? When you hear Stephen? I talk about that.I don't know. I'm just, this whole conversation went a whole different direction. I was like, oh shit. Like this shit guy. He worksfor four man. These kids are gorgeous, bro. He puts up videos with his kids, chasing him around and playing with them. Yeah. That's my light as your light man. Yeah. Is that, is that. This is that what's that dude, you man, when you come out of the real world and you're with your kids, you know, what, what is, that's probably been the hardest thing is like dealing with that whole aspect of co-parenting and like trying to figure that out and like not get into this whole cycle of emotions and trying to like keep it pool and like, you know, and that kids at a small age, when they're young like that, some were in them either.They talk about it when they're young or they wait and they talk about it older, but naturally kids, they want their parents to be together. And when parents split for no matter what it is better or for whatever, it might be, the kids don't understand all that is involved. And I think a lot of times, man, kids are somewhat sad that for sure, I was very happy that my parents.So I didn't believe that everybody felt sad, but I think most kids feel sad about it. Oh yeah. Like cry. Like there'll be with me and credit goes to her, her and the credit to be on me. And then there'll be, so it's like a fucking thing. Like, oh, it's time for you to go back to the mom. I don't want to go back with mom.No, sorry. That shit is the most heartbreaking thing ever. It is. It's like, I don't even think about you go to pick up your kidney. Don't want to come with you. I mean, it goes both ways. It happens. It happened. It happened to me last week. Yeah. That is hard, bro. I don't have to take it personally. Absolutely.Got to be a parent. You to be an adult cartel last week. Didn't want to do that. He didn't want to come with me, but also you wanted him to come with me. So I just took one of them. Let's make everybody happy. I'm like, all right, whatever you want. I want to make it happen. Yeah. When I think about that and I think about my daughter, I think about.Like, uh, I don't put it in terms of happy that they got divorced or sad that they got divorced. I don't really think about it like that because I don't even know if I'd even be honest with myself, like in protecting my own feelings. I don't even know if I'd be honest looking at it and be like, wow, it's glad they got divorced.Or I was, I was sad. They got divorced. I don't know it's but the thing that stuck with me the most more than anything else in terms of just food for thought was, um, a theorist that was talking about one of the crucial questions for every human is where did I come from? Like you, you know, there's millions of theories and we got science also shit.But at the immediate level, you know, as a child, you came from two humans coming together. And bonus or whatever, eventually, you know, that and the issue then becomes that those two make up no matter which if the kid knows it or doesn't know, it acknowledges that a service of his level or doesn't that kid immediately associates their complete being with those two halves.There's no way. So, and that's the first information that comes in. So as the child's developing, whoever they are, they're comparing and contrasting, I'm more like this. I'm more like that. What am I like? Right. So the relationship between those two hives that came together to create the existence of the person, that's actually doing the questioning that relationship without me saying which one is better and where I'm not even gonna say that.That whole thing is highly influential on how the child's identity is developed at how they think their existence or the answer to the question of how did I come about right. Flows from that. So when I think about dude, all right, I'll tell you one, I used to fucking argue with my wife, right. And, uh, and we still do from time to time, but we argue differently now, but there was a time where I took a little bit of man fucking pride and trying to put my wife in her, in her place.And I will be able to, because I'm an argumentative motherfucker and I, and I keep going. Sometimes even when my wife that's part of the, and that's part of the reason why she loves me, I'll tell you that. Or at least respects me on not some fucking punk dude. That's not going to push. And she might not admit it in the moment, but there's times where after she denied everything later, we'll come back and be like, I thought about what you said and it's right.Okay. So in my mind I thought, okay, that's a dance that we do. I wasn't even taking personally the arguments or whatever it was. I'm just saying, this is how she hears, this is how I hear we're going to push both lawyers. Like that's normal. Right. And then, and I was doing that in front of the baby. Right?Nothing major. I mean, I wasn't like throwing fucking plates against the wall, but I was just talking loud and saying shit. Right. And then one day it dawned on me that the baby, whether she thinks she understands or doesn't is being influenced by the way, my wife and I are relating to each other. And of course your energy, hell yeah.She taking notes on all of it. All right. And even though I may, and my wife may be play acting a little bit. The baby and all that. So I, and this is hard for me to do. I took a conscious and I'm telling you, but, oh bro, there are times that I work a full day. I come, we made a conscious decision that you weren't going to do this in front of your kid.Did you make that decision amongst alone that you weren't going to bite? You know why he's not even on that. You know why? Cause I was about to tell her, uh, no, I actually had told her, I said, Hey, watch how you talk to me in front of our daughter because our daughter doesn't know. And you can't be saying shit like that in front of the daughter, right?Hell no. Okay. Never. Right. Like if I talk back to you like that in front of our daughter, you would flip the fuck out. You don't want that shit. So I had said that shit. Right. But I was still engaging in the argument shit. Right. And boy, I'm telling you. And like, I make breakfast for the baby every day. I'm also an attorney and work all day.I lift weights. I come home, I get the shopping, I bring the thing I do at least one third of the fucking cooking and planning. Right. And Karen and the heavy shit. Right. And then there's times where I've done it. Everything that I'm supposed to do and at come in and my wife's first thing will be like, can you please build their data?Like one more fucking task. Fuck that shit, dude, fuck living like that. Listen, this is, I can't, I'm not honoring you because you were honest. So I'm going, I'm going right to fuck that shit. Fuck. I don't know what I'm saying. Listen, all I'm saying is like, listen, to say, she'd be like this, right. She'd be like to hell with that.She'd be like, can you please get some more fucking w the thing is not off the floor or whatever. Right. Getting rid of my fucking fee. You see me? That's probably why I snapped on Schwartz. I'm really yelling at my son. I'm like, Ugh, the cleaning guy, all of a sudden, you're cracking. I said to myself, building an empire and I love this woman.And then unload the baby. There will be a time for us to address that. Maybe she's not, she's putting too much sauce on it, but it's not now when I'm in my feelings. Okay. Cause we will pull her aside and be like, promise I've already done it. Okay. I pulled her aside and said, listen, I want you to understand how it comes off.Yeah. Right. When I come home, what was she doing? Oh, she's working. But she's watching the baby working, but she doesn't, she's my law partner. So she's right there with me. Right. And so in the, in the law firm, I'm the oldest attorney and I'm the most experienced, or I run it. So you guys are together all day though, as we are.And we are, we're fucking working and living and parenting all damn day. And to be honest with you, it works way better than it should. We, don't actually a lot of time to go the, a lot of time together, borough for us. Like it's healthy to have some time. Yeah. I'm in idea comes to this hard luck. That's why I love Saturdays is motorcycle club, bro.That is this hard luck show is the motorcycle club. I come in here and say, whatever, all my among and fucking mind it is. And also when I get up to, when I get up in the morning shorts, this is your motorcycle club, right?

My network is crazy. Like I could go anywhere pretty much and I could get entire in and do stuff and develop shit for all the people that we know in our crew. Like I just link people in and, and I feather through like all the people and see who's a piece of shit who's not, and who deserves it?You know? Cause I'm not trying to put everybody on. Like everybody don't get everything. Right. That's the thing everybody doesn't get is everybody thinks that because they know me or they have this and that. And I give something to somebody that they deserve it. No, you don't deserve that shit. Like show me, you deserve it.Show me that you ain't a piece of shit. So me that you're loyal, like all that shit, everything that I try to form my shit around is the same pretense that essay's built around. You know what I mean? We all support each other. We all filter through each other, like bro, I'm the youngest one out of the crew.And I've known these guys for 20 years. Like. You know, like we don't let people in essay. That's not somebody that's valid. Like that's a big thing for everybody here. So I fucking feel like I'm going to carry that on in with what I do. So anybody that fucks with me, I got to make sure you're not a piece of shit.You're not gonna embarrass us. You're not gonna make us look bad and I need to know who you are. Right.

You look at a pool of water. It is not deep. It is not murky. You can see the bottom. You bask in the sun as warmth washes over you. You look at this pool and know that it is safe, but there is a fear. The fear comes from the knowledge that you won't be warm the moment you enter. That warmth will evaporate the moment your toe breaks the surface. There will other sensations of cold, discomfort, and instability. But there will also be other sensations: Exhilaration. Accomplishment. Weightlessness. The pool is not an enemy. It is a vessel for transition. This is a very minor transition that most people face in the summer months as they visit their local pools and beaches. Yet, people make transitions through life that are more challenging. That demand more. That inherently create change. Transitions are not necessarily good nor evil. Given that, “How do you deal with difficult transitions?” Do you shy away and try to hold on to what is familiar? Do you embrace the change and all that comes with it?

Exhilaration is probably not a word you often associate with the Christian life. Exhilaration is a combination of scary and joyful. In Mark 6, Jesus sends his disciples to preach, heal, and liberate others from the power of evil. It's both scary and joyful for them as they have to depend completely on God and the hospitality of others, and as they discover the trustworthiness of God and the joyful, life-changing power of Jesus. We, too, are sent by Jesus. But how is discipleship modelled to us? Will we enter more fully into the scary joyful life of being sent by Jesus? Into exhilarating discipleship?

Ed Barry, Founder and CEO of BAACK2, the maker of a unique device for home care of lower back disordersAs a board-certified chiropractic orthopedist and certified laser pain management physician, Dr. Ed Barry has spent the past 38 years helping patients get back to all the things they used to do. Over that time, Dr. Barry utilized traditional chiropractic techniques as well as laser therapy to treat a variety of conditions including arthritis, sciatica, spinal stenosis, hip pain, back and neck pain, and carpal tunnel syndrome.Many years ago, while Dr. Barry was exercising in the gym, he was drawn to a curious apparatus that was specifically designed for toning the abdominal muscles.  What made this piece of equipment so interesting was in the design and movement – a bench was fitted with a pivot bearing in the mid-point of the table so the user could alter the plane of movement in the abdomen as you contracted upward, creating resistance to both the anterior and oblique muscles in the abdomen.That got him thinking about the possibility of creating a device that could combine the two movements of flexion and traction for the lower back. And that's when the seed for Lift was planted, and with those years of development, refinement, and engineering, Dr. Barry is now proud to introduce Lift to patients all over the world. www.baack2.com

The Third Growth Option  with Benno Duenkelsbuehler and Guests

James Biro is both an engineer and a passionate leader of people. When he talks about sparking teams, vulnerability, pushing the boundaries of diversity, and what growth means to him, it's not a theoretical conversation, but one filled with real life corporate team examples that have informed his views. 4:47 - … “The thing that makes me tick is the ability to bring a group of people together… and get them to do something they didn't think they could.” 6:08 – “the meaningful part is being able to bring that excitement to do things and thrive… in an environment that is not the most exciting… that is truly fulfilling.” 7:42 – one of the first things I realized was the power of vulnerability… I will connect with you… you create a safe environment.” 13:20 – about front-end innovation “the diversity of characters and trains of thought is way wider (vs. manufacturing plant operations)... you learn to bring that spark… the whole game is in translation.. a little bit like the United Nations.” 18:01 – on cultural fit vs. contribution “the interesting challenge is how far can you stretch that diversity without breaking the chemistry… because the richer the diversity the more powerful the team.” 22:20 – “Growth there (plant vs. law firm) means a completely different thing, and it means…” 25:57 – we talk about Paul Heagen's book These Three Things (ep #17) about Pride, Safety and Love as ways to bring exhilaration and spark to any kind of team.

Brady Deeprose, guitarist/vocalist of UK doom/sludge metal band Conjurer, met his girlfriend Sam in Los Angeles while he was on tour -- and the two fell in love and started dating via texting and FaceTime without ever even having kissed. In this episode of HOT-BLOODED with Cat Jones, he talks about communication, what he learned from his parents, and the hilariously anxiety-ridden email he wrote her on his first flight to see her after they became official. Plus, he goes deep about the kindness and openness of metalheads, Conjurer's beginnings, and the huge influence YOB has had on their band.

Recorded on location backstage from Anjelah Johnson's green room at the Criterion in Oklahoma City, just before performing a brilliant stand-up set to a full house. From her professional beginning as a cheerleader for the Oakland Raiders, she moved to Los Angeles to pursue her dream of acting, where she became an internet sensation with her viral video “Nail Salon.” From there to her stint on MAD tv, to the creation of her “Bon Qui Qui” character and subsequent Bon Qui Qui albums and tours, to her many stand up specials, comedy tours, and regular film and tv work...her career has been a wild ride! But the story of her soul is an equally fascinating one. In this especially vulnerable conversation, we talk about just how exhausting “deconstructing” faith can really be, finding God and new community in the middle, and the hope of transformation on the other side.

Power, Purpose, & Passion with Anthony Cheam

In this episode! Anthony creates an acronym that teaches more about life! Love & Suffering. Love is followed by Suffering, Suffering is followed by Love. The more you love the more suffering you will find, this seems counterintuitive yet these two compliment each other in a beautiful way. This is such a crucial lesson. This perspective could save you during your darkest times. Inspiration & Illumination We are constantly being spoken to, guided, inspired, it's important to pay attention and follow our hearts. Most importantly, follow what excites us the most. Fear & Faith During the darkest of times, our faith is tested. This test of faith is extremely important. Anthony shares amazing insights on this paradox. Exhilaration & Exhaustion Life is a cycle of high energy moments and downtime, wake and sleep, expand and contract. It is important to always remember that if you give to others, you must give back to yourself, when you work hard, you must relax. The Power Purpose & Passion podcast with Anthony Cheam is all about taking your life to the next level. Anthony covers every topic between energy, health & fitness to productivity, fulfillment, and happiness.

Pushing and pulling. Surrendering and somersaulting.Tide rising and receding.Simultaneously.I feel like that strand of beach just where the tide breaks.Being shifted and moved, carved and remade inside the most dynamic, intense crashing of transformative Life Force.Eyes and heart wide open to the pure potentiality of Creation, while also attached and stuck, grounded and slowed by what has been, ideas of what should be, fears of what might be.Exhilaration and Terror, Hope and Dread, Yes and No -- Co-Existing in the spaces of my Becoming.Some moments it’s hard to tell which end is up and what compass there is to Guide me.I have given myself over to dissolving in the embryonic waters of Creation.Learning to move from Pleasure and Impulse in accordance with the deeper currents of an Evolutionary Creatrix.Excruciating and confounding at times, as well as Ecstatically Liberating.So much moving through I must Share or Die.Or more aptly…Share AND Die.Falling into the Abyss of Creation as I am annihilated again and again.Opening pathways to stream Conscious Creation - not as a path TO Truth but AS Truth.Where I Create, There I am True, as Rilke so wisely affirmed.The intersection of focalizing the all/nothing into Some Thing.Like God.As God.Godding.An everlasting Genesis of beginnings.On Wild Soul Medicine Radio today, we’ll honor the super new moon with an exploration of True Creativity.Understanding the distinction (and motivation for) Replication versus Creation, ownership as impediment to collaboration, and the subconscious “I would create, but’s” blocking the doorway of Our expression.I relish the opportunity to outlet what is moving through me.Express and Die = Fully Alive.There I am True.
