In this Christmas episode of Green Side Up, Jason and Jordan mix holiday banter with a candid year-end business recap. They talk about family trips, zero-turn barrel racing, raccoons in dumpsters, and then get real about 2025: slowdowns, layoffs, experiments with marketing, LiveSwitch video estimates, and dialing in plant health care. The core of the conversation is sales—close rates, how much money they're leaving on the table, splitting sales from operations, and why 2026 will be all about sales training and written processes. It's an honest look at how messy, painful, and rewarding entrepreneurship really is—and how they plan to level up their landscape and tree service businesses in 2026. Connect with Jason and Jordan:

Today I'm reviewing A Treachery of Swans—a sapphic fantasy retelling that blends The Swan Princess with subtle Goose Girl allusions, layered in magic, political intrigue, and constant misdirection.At the heart of the story is Odile, a main character who kept me second-guessing everything. Clever, guarded, and never fully transparent, she makes the narrative feel like a chess match where every move could be a lie. The romance simmers beneath schemes and secrets, adding emotional tension without overpowering the plot.If you love fairy-tale retellings with teeth, sapphic fantasy, morally complex protagonists, and stories that thrive on subterfuge, this one is absolutely worth your time.✨ Tune in for my spoiler-free breakdown of what worked, why Odile is such a compelling lead, and who will enjoy this magical, twist-heavy retelling.

A winter wish, a juniper tree, and a song that won't be silenced. We read and unpack The Juniper Tree through the lens of myth and astrology, following a stark arc from dismemberment to remembrance, from underworld descent to the ninth house return of voice. The tale's violent turn isn't spectacle—it's symbolic. A sister gathers bones and lays them at the roots; a bird rises from fire, sings what happened, and earns a golden chain, red shoes, and a millstone. Each gift answers a wound: the chain restores the severed link, the shoes return movement and joy, and the stone delivers the kind of Saturnian justice that ends what cannot be integrated.Along the way we explore why juniper is a liminal, funerary, protective tree and why solstice is the perfect time for a story about death and the slow return of light. We trace resonances with Snow White, the Raven, Medusa, Osiris and Isis, and even the Christian ritual of remembrance that turns body and blood into bread and wine. The ninth house shines through as the realm where hard-won wisdom gets sung aloud, where fair exchange dignifies art, and where truth becomes beautiful enough for others to bear. This is not a call to bypass grief; it's a ritual map for metabolizing it.If you've ever felt your voice frozen in the underworld, this story offers a path: gather the bones, honor the roots, set a boundary around your song, and let the wings come back. As the year turns, join us for a solstice myth that holds both the darkest night and the first hint of dawn.

Shane MacGowan lived his life as an outsider. He was an Irishman living in England, a troublemaking jug-eared punk with rotten teeth and a voracious appetite for drugs and alcohol. And with his band, The Pogues, he created a powerful synthesis of the traditional music of his homeland and a modern punk attitude. It was this gift for melding the sacred with the profane that led to the creation of one of the finest and most unique Christmas songs ever: "Fairytale of New York."

In celebration of the Pogues' 'Fairytale of New York' EP, we take a detailed look at how their classic Christmas single came together. The Pogues originally formed in London in 1982 by Shane MacGowan, Spider Stacy and Jem Finer. MacGowan had gotten his start playing in the punk band, the Nipple Erectors, and when that band broke up, he began playing in an Irish traditional music style. Gradually, he brought in James Fearnley, Cait O'Riordan and John Hasler to become a sextet. Andrew Ranken replaced John Hasler as they signed with Stiff Records. Their debut album, Red Roses for Me, was released in 1984. For their second album, they added Philip Chevron on guitar and hired Elvis Costello as their producer. Rum Sodomy & the Lash was released in 1985, and they continued working with Costello for the Poguetry in Motion EP, released in 1986. At this point, Cait O'Riordan left the band and they updated the lineup to include Darryl Hunt and Terry Woods. They signed to Island Records and hired Steve Lillywhite to produce their third album. If I Should Fall from Grace with God was eventually released in 1988 and included the Christmas single, “Fairytale of New York.”  In this episode, Steve Lillywhite describes working with the Pogues at this pivotal time in their career when they were expanding the lineup and becoming more ambitious with their song structures and arrangements. Despite not having experience recording a traditional folk band, Lillywhite proved to be the right producer for the Pogues at this moment. His input and confidence in the studio led to them splicing two sections of “Fairytale of New York” together and also enlisting his wife Kirsty MacColl to sing the female part in the song. Jem Finer talks about his initial writing process for the song and how he wrote two potential Christmas ideas that his wife Marcia dismissed as being far too sentimental. Her input led to him rethinking the song and writing about a down on their luck couple, inspired by people who lived in their neighborhood in London. Finer describes how Shane MacGowan then took the song and moved the setting to New York City and added some key lines that were taken from real conversations. James Fearnley describes the thrill of recording the opening section with just piano and voice and how he practiced repeatedly to be able to get that part right. He talks about how the song deserved an ambitious string arrangement and so he worked out some ideas on a synthesizer before bringing in Fiachra Trench to help with the orchestration. By taking inspiration from film scores like Ennio Morricone's Once Upon a Time in America and Leonard Bernstein's On the Waterfront, Fearnley talks about wanting to bring a cinematic sound to match the classic American story that was being told. From the song's long gestation period of a few years, to Steve Lillywhite bringing the tapes home and casually asking Kirsty MacColl to sing on it, to the inspiration behind the classic “I could've been someone”  line, to the initial disappointment of getting to number 2 in the charts, to the perfect sparring duet partners in Shane and Kirsty, to the anti-Christmas Christmas song that has become timeless, we'll hear the stories of how the record came together.

In Appropriated Tales: Race and the Disney Fairy-Tale Mode (Wayne State UP, 2025), scholar Michelle Anya Anjirbag examines Disney's method of fairy-tale storytelling to determine how the corporation has shaped public understanding of what fairy tales are and who belongs within them. Covering a span of years "from mermaid to mermaid"—from the 1989 animated The Little Mermaid to the 2023 live-action remake starring Halle Bailey—she deconstructs and interrogates Disney's corporate commodification of multiculturalism and diversity, centering its impact on misrepresented people and cultures over the stated intentions of the producers. Further, Anjirbag demonstrates that Disney shapes childhood experiences and imagination in a way that strategically promotes American cultural imperialism. Through close film analysis, applied critical theory, and social analysis of the Disney corporation, Anjirbag unearths a new framework for studies of Disney fairy tales and how they shape popular culture.

Royal experts say Meghan's Holiday Special is less “family and service” and more “boho lifestyle princess rebrand,” dropping the Sussexes right in the path of Kate's faith-driven carol service and the King's traditional message. We break down every heavily curated moment: the love-note advent calendars, Doria's gumbo, Harry's “anti-salad” face, the tribute to late beagle Guy and Meghan's hyper-personalized crackers that accidentally get British tradition wrong. Then The Washington Post's Monica Hesse swoops in to compare Meghan to Wallis Simpson and ask the big question: how did we go from giddy royal revolution to… a mildly awkward, pre-taped cooking-and-crafts show?Hear our new show "Crown and Controversy: Prince Andrew" here.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

You've been married for 29 years. You're newly separated at 52. Your inbox is suddenly full of men in their twenties and thirties. And you're sitting there wondering: what the heck is going on? A listener we call Confused in Coatesville shares: "I'm separated a year in the process of divorce after 29 years of marriage. I'm 52 and I'm told that I look a lot younger. On dating apps, I'm getting hit up by a lot of 30-somethings and even late twenties. I have very little interest in somebody under the age of 40, considering that I have a 30-year-old myself. How do I get matches in my age range that would have an interest in me?" In this episode, we unpack the real reasons younger men are reaching out, and what it actually means to date again after decades of marriage. What You'll Hear: Why younger men showing up in your inbox isn't random The difference between what you needed at 23 and what actually serves you now How "I look younger than my age" might be working against your dating goals Why an age gap hits different at 50 than it does at 25 The power of being strategic about which apps you use (and tracking your results) Setting boundaries with matches who aren't aligned with you…without guilt Ready to figure out what's actually working in your dating life?

From comparing Jonah to Pinocchio to exposing the hidden presuppositions of secular skeptics, this episode dismantles the “fairy tale” myth once and for all.You'll learn:Why atheists can't tell fairy tales from biblical historyHow fairy tales evolve over time — and why the Bible doesn'tThe difference between magic and miraclesWhy the Enlightenment made our culture allergic to the supernaturalHow Jesus Himself verified Old Testament “fairy tales” as true historyHow to answer the skeptic's charge with confidence, grace, and the GospelJoel also shares how every Christian man can become a worldview leader in his home and community — not by retreating from tough questions, but by standing firm on the Word of God.This is a must-listen for every man who's tired of watching the world mock Scripture and is ready to stand up, speak truth, and lead his family in a biblical worldview.Subscribe, leave a 5-star review, and share this episode with a friend who's ready to stop being on defense and start living boldly for Christ.Christian men, take your learning further in community.

You can talk about love, kids, and sex, but the second money comes up, things get awkward. This week on SUPERWOMEN, I sit down with Jackie Combs, Matrimonial & Family Law Partner at Blank Rome LLP. Jackie has seen firsthand what happens when women avoid talking about finances until it's too late. She's advised clients ranging from celebrities to founders, many of whom didn't realize what they were financially entitled to or what they'd already sacrificed. We discuss why prenups aren't just for the rich, how financial red flags can appear earlier than you think, and why it's never too soon to start these conversations. Whether you're just dating or have been married for ten years, you'll want to hear this.
