Podcasts about Ferris

Good morning, afternoon, and good evening, everybody! Scott Carson here, and boy, are you in for a treat! As we roll into the New Year, many of you are resolving to dive deeper into real estate investing, but that old excuse "I don't have any money" always seems to pop up. Well, prepare to have your mind blown (and your excuses obliterated!) by today's special guest!We've got Lisa Ferris from Georgetown, Texas – a real estate investment legend who's been crushing it for years. She's a master of creative financing, fix & flips, short-term rentals, and leveraging private money. And the best part? She's written a book revealing all her secrets: "How to Find and Fund Any Real Estate Deal: How to Buy Real Estate Without Using Your Own Cash or Credit." Forget the banks; Lisa proves you don't need 'em!Here's what you'll learn from Lisa Ferris (and why you need her book!):The "Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired" Origin Story: Lisa, a 20-year realtor, shares how being "broke" and presented with a "POS house" forced her to embrace creative financing. Her first deal? Wholesaling a property in three hours for $17,000 profit – and she's never looked back!Ron LeGrand's Legacy & Realtor Superpowers: Lisa credits a Ron LeGrand course for igniting her creative financing journey. As a seasoned realtor, she leverages deep market knowledge (knowing which two blocks to avoid and where to buy!) to quickly run numbers and make offers, giving her a serious edge in Central Texas (Belton, Temple, Taylor, Fort Hood) – everywhere but Austin!Win-Win Negotiations for Distressed Sellers: Learn Lisa's approach to seller financing: always offer a higher purchase price and sell the payment amount (never the interest rate!). She focuses on creating win-win scenarios where sellers feel heard and get flexible solutions, even for those with no equity or facing tough situations.Private Money Magic: Just Ask! Lisa's secret to raising capital? Simply ask! Her first private lender was a good friend at McDonald's (true story!). She views it as offering an opportunity for investors to make their money work for them, not begging. Her deals average $200K-$300K and offer 12%+ returns, because as she says, "if you have a good deal, the money is the easiest part."Why Diligence & Community Matter: Lisa uses tools like RehabValuator and creates professional reports (Canva, anyone?) to make her deals attractive. She emphasizes proactive communication with lenders (even using platforms like SiteWire for draws). Plus, she champions local networking with her Centex Dealmakers Group, bringing integrity, training, and real-world deals to Austin's real estate community.Lisa Farris is living proof that you don't need deep pockets to build a thriving real estate business. Her humor, humility, and rock-solid strategies make her an inspiration. Stop making excuses and start making deals happen!Grab a copy of her game-changing book, "How to Find and Fund Any Real Estate Deal: How to Buy Real Estate Without Using Your Own Cash or Credit," available soon on Amazon.

“Is a donkey just an undersized horse?” That's just one of the many absurd questions that pop up in this hilariously unpredictable episode of The Ben and Skin Show. Here's what you'll hear:The Choctaw encounter: A random guest walks up mid-show looking for free money and leaves us with the immortal quote: “That's good enough.”Ben's Ace Hardware obsession: “I'm the least handy person ever… so why do I love Ace Hardware?”Skin's dad joke of the day: “It's probably a card shark.” (Cue the crowd groan.)Ferris wheel fiasco: Skin goes full country after a wild headline: “I still want one there!”Pickle Fest madness: “You can stand and brine in line.” Yes, KT is way too proud of that pun.The funniest debate: “Is a donkey just an undersized horse? And is an olive a fruit?”

"More Ferris, Less Cameron" is a Dharma talk and brief guided meditation on the topic of strong fixed views, and the pain and suffering that holding those can introduce to our lives. We dive into the subtle ways our beliefs hold us tight, and how compassion and curiosity can set us free. In a nutshell, we hold our views, but our strong fixed views hold us in a clenched fist. I hope you'll find something in this one that helps your life in some way. Enjoy!https://bio.reverendgeorgebeecher.com

This week on Inspire Change, Gunter reflects on his previous conversation with Professor Greg Downey, exploring the complexities of masculinity through an anthropological lens. He emphasizes that masculinity is a practice shaped by societal systems, rather than a fixed essence. The discussion highlights the dangers of toxic ideologies and the importance of emotional health and community. Gunter provides practical reflections on how individuals can embody healthier masculinity in their daily lives, focusing on the body, relationships, and the wider social context. He encourages listeners to engage in self-reflection and practice small, meaningful changes in their behavior.TakeawaysMasculinity is embodied and relational, not a fixed essence.Toxic ideologies can anesthetize men's pain rather than heal it.Masculinity is shaped by systems, not just individual actions.Cultural narratives about masculinity influence our behaviors.Practicing awareness of our bodies can reveal ingrained habits.Emotional responsiveness is key in relationships.Social media can amplify toxic narratives about masculinity.Self-reflection helps in recognizing internalized patriarchal values.Values should guide our actions, not societal expectations.Change in masculinity comes from small, consistent actions.Keywordsmasculinity, toxic ideologies, emotional health, community, anthropology, personal growth, relationships, social media, patriarchy, self-awarenessMid-Episode Break is brought to you by Distil Union.“You know, on this show we talk a lot about living with purpose — slowing down, paying attention, and being intentional about the choices we make every day.

“Life is earth, animated.” When I heard this statement for the first time it made me think about my relationship to our planet differently. That all life on earth is part of a giant feedback loop, a process of self-creation that has been ongoing for billions of years. This is the idea that Ferris Jabr explores in his book, Becoming Earth: How Our Planet Came to Life. Jabr traveled the world to find examples of this creation: from climbing a colossal tower over the Amazon to tunneling a mile underground towards the core of the earth. Ferris now believes that life doesn’t just exist on this planet, but that the planet itself is alive.

In this episode, JoLi breaks down a chance encounter with a "deviant thinker" who thought he was alone, and delivers the truth about why feeling different isn't isolation, it's recognition. From past lives to the illusion of aging, this conversation goes deep into the nature of reality, purpose, and why some of us are wired to question everything.If you've ever felt like you don't belong, like something's fundamentally off about this world, or like you're the only one who sees through the simulation, this episode is your confirmation that you're not broken. You're a flower among spikes.

Fluent Fiction - Danish: Sipping Through Christmas: Finding Tivoli's Best Mulled Wine Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/da/episode/2025-12-02-08-38-20-da Story Transcript:Da: Det var en kold vinteraften i Tivoli Gardens.En: It was a cold winter evening in Tivoli Gardens.Da: Julelys glimtede overalt, og duften af kanel og nelliker svævede gennem luften.En: Christmas lights twinkled everywhere, and the scent of cinnamon and cloves floated through the air.Da: Astrid, Søren og Mikkel gik ind gennem den store indgang.En: Astrid, Søren, and Mikkel entered through the grand entrance.Da: Astrid havde et bestemt mål for aftenen: finde den bedste gløgg i hele Tivoli.En: Astrid had a specific goal for the evening: to find the best mulled wine in all of Tivoli.Da: "Jeg ved, hvilken gløgg jeg leder efter," sagde Astrid med et smil.En: "I know which mulled wine I'm looking for," said Astrid with a smile.Da: Hun havde læst om alle opskrifterne, der blev brugt i år.En: She had read about all the recipes being used this year.Da: Søren rystede på hovedet, skeptisk som altid.En: Søren shook his head, skeptical as always.Da: Han foretrak de raslende vogne på rutschebanerne, men han kunne ikke modstå sine venners glæde.En: He preferred the rattling cars on the roller coasters, but he couldn't resist his friends' joy.Da: Mikkel grinede og sagde: "Jeg er klar til at smage alt, hvad vi kan finde."En: Mikkel laughed and said, "I'm ready to taste everything we can find."Da: De første boder var ikke så specielle.En: The first stalls were not so special.Da: "Denne her smager næsten som den sidste," gryntede Søren.En: "This one tastes almost like the last," grunted Søren.Da: Astrid svarede, "Åh, vent til vi prøver bod nummer fem.En: Astrid replied, "Oh, wait until we try stall number five.Da: Jeg har hørt, de bruger appelsinjuice!"En: I've heard they use orange juice!"Da: De gik rundt i den eventyrlige have, mellem gyngerne og pariserhjulet.En: They walked around the fairytale garden, between the swings and the Ferris wheel.Da: "Wow, se den dér," pegede Mikkel på en bod, hvor de serverede gløgg med små pebernødder ved siden af.En: "Wow, look at that one," pointed Mikkel at a stall where they served mulled wine with small gingerbread cookies on the side.Da: Astrid var allerede på vej, ivrig efter at smage dagens næste gløgg.En: Astrid was already on her way, eager to taste the next mulled wine of the day.Da: Men gløggen var stadig ikke lige, hvad hun søgte.En: But the mulled wine still wasn't quite what she was looking for.Da: Søren bemærkede, "Måske er det ikke så stor forskel mellem dem, Astrid."En: Søren noted, "Maybe there's not such a big difference between them, Astrid."Da: Astrid svarede, "Tålmodighed, Søren.En: Astrid replied, "Patience, Søren.Da: Vi er næsten der."En: We're almost there."Da: Endelig kom de til en lille, hyggelig bod gemt væk i en krog af Tivoli.En: Finally, they came to a small, cozy stall tucked away in a corner of Tivoli.Da: Julepynten var simpel, men duften, der kom fra gløggen, var vidunderlig.En: The Christmas decorations were simple, but the aroma coming from the mulled wine was wonderful.Da: Astrid tog en tår, og et stort smil bredte sig på hendes ansigt.En: Astrid took a sip, and a big smile spread across her face.Da: "Dét er den!"En: "This is it!"Da: råbte hun næsten.En: she almost shouted.Da: Lige da snurrede en kold vind gennem haven, og boderne knagede.En: Just then, a cold wind swirled through the garden, and the stalls creaked.Da: Mikkel sprang frem og holdt bodens hjørne på plads.En: Mikkel jumped forward and held the corner of the stall in place.Da: "Puha, det var tæt på!"En: "Phew, that was close!"Da: lo han.En: he laughed.Da: Endelig smagte Søren på gløggen med det hemmelige krydderi.En: Finally, Søren tried the mulled wine with the secret spice.Da: Han nikkede anerkendende, "Måske har du ret, Astrid.En: He nodded approvingly, "Maybe you're right, Astrid.Da: Denne her er faktisk noget særligt."En: This one is actually something special."Da: Da de forlod Tivoli, kiggede Astrid på sine venner.En: As they left Tivoli, Astrid looked at her friends.Da: "Det bedste ved det her?En: "The best part about this?Da: Ikke bare gløggen, men at dele det med jer."En: Not just the mulled wine, but sharing it with you."Da: Mikkel nikkede ivrigt.En: Mikkel nodded eagerly.Da: "Jeg er enig.En: "I agree.Da: I aften var fantastisk."En: Tonight was fantastic."Da: Søren, nu med et lille smil, sagde stille, "Måske er julens traditioner slet ikke så tossede."En: Søren, now with a small smile, quietly said, "Maybe Christmas traditions aren't so silly after all."Da: Og med det forstod de, at det ikke kun var gløggen, men også venskabet, der gjorde denne aften til noget helt specielt.En: And with that, they understood that it wasn't just the mulled wine, but also the friendship that made this evening truly special.

The room is loud, the board is hot, and we jump straight from jokes into headlines that actually matter. After quick birthday shoutouts and platform chaos, we sit with the gut-punch news of a young NFL player gone too soon and talk openly about grief, pressure, and the reality that success can't insulate anyone from mental health struggles. It's unfiltered, empathetic, and a needed reminder to check on the friends who seem fine.Then we zoom out to the money and mobility stress you can feel: FAA flight cuts, airlines trimming 2025 schedules, and a spirited debate over budget vs legacy carriers. Add a SNAP shortfall during a government freeze and you get real-world choices at the checkout line. We share a clutch Aldi Thanksgiving bundle and swap smart-shopping tactics because sometimes the most helpful content is just concrete. A UPS cargo crash and a Ferris wheel malfunction prompt tough questions on safety and responsibility, while a disturbing crime story sparks hard, human reactions.In the segment everyone argues about, we put a tricky question to the room: a stranger accidentally Cash Apps you $1,000 and begs for it back. Keep it or return it? The takes range from karma to “blessing,” exposing how our values, needs, and risk tolerance show up in the gray areas. That debate sets the stage for the heart of the show: seasonal affective disorder explained in plain speech—serotonin dips, carb cravings, oversleeping, irritability—and simple tools that help. We trade coping rituals that actually work: sunlight and vitamin D, consistent sleep, baths and hot showers, running with music, cooking, cleaning, prayer and gospel, a therapy lamp, and staying connected when isolation feels easier. And we make the lifeline unforgettable: call or text 988, or chat at 988lifeline.org.We wrap with our “Words of the Week” to stretch the vocabulary you use to describe your mood—ataraxia for calm, ineffable for the unsayable—then flip mics for freestyles and an unreleased track. It's funny, heavy, useful, and very human. If this mix hits you, follow and share with a friend who needs the coping tips. Drop your take on the Cash App dilemma and your best winter ritual, and leave a review so more people can find the show.Support the showFollow us on social media www.instagram.com/noadvisorypod

Story Transcript:Da: Tivoli Gardens var helt magisk.En: Tivoli Gardens was completely magical.Da: Det var vinter, og snefnug faldt let fra himlen over København.En: It was winter, and snowflakes fell gently from the sky over København.Da: Små lys glimtede fra træerne, og duften af brændte mandler fyldte luften.En: Small lights twinkled from the trees, and the scent of roasted almonds filled the air.Da: Det var julemarkedstid, og det var Frejas yndlingssted i verden.En: It was Christmas market time, and it was Freja's favorite place in the world.Da: Freja gik hånd i hånd med sin veninde Katrine.En: Freja walked hand in hand with her friend Katrine.Da: De havde længe aftalt denne tur til Tivoli.En: They had long planned this trip to Tivoli.Da: Jens var også med, men han gik lidt foran pigerne.En: Jens was also with them, but he walked a little ahead of the girls.Da: Han var som altid dybt optaget af de smukke lys og festlighederne omkring dem.En: As always, he was deeply engrossed in the beautiful lights and festivities around them.Da: "Du skal tage chancen i aften, Freja," sagde Katrine opmuntrende.En: "You should take the chance tonight, Freja," said Katrine encouragingly.Da: "Han ved ikke noget endnu.En: "He doesn't know anything yet."Da: "Freja nikkede, men hun kunne mærke nervøsiteten sprede sig i maven.En: Freja nodded, but she could feel the nervousness spreading in her stomach.Da: "Hvad hvis han ikke føler det samme?En: "What if he doesn't feel the same way?"Da: " spurgte hun usikkert.En: she asked uncertainly.Da: "Han er din ven, han vil forstå," beroligede Katrine.En: "He's your friend, he'll understand," Katrine reassured her.Da: "Og hvis du aldrig fortæller ham det, vil du aldrig vide det.En: "And if you never tell him, you'll never know."Da: "De nærmede sig pariserhjulet, og Freja indså, at det var nu eller aldrig.En: They approached the Ferris wheel, and Freja realized it was now or never.Da: Hun tog en dyb indånding og gik hen til Jens, der kiggede fascineret på en lille julemand, der vinkede fra en af boderne.En: She took a deep breath and walked over to Jens, who was fascinated by a small Santa waving from one of the stalls.Da: "Jens," startede Freja og kæmpede for at holde stemmen rolig midt i julesangene der spillede over højtalerne.En: "Jens," Freja started, struggling to keep her voice steady amidst the Christmas songs playing over the speakers.Da: "Jeg har noget, jeg vil sige.En: "I have something I want to say."Da: "Jens vendte sin opmærksomhed mod hende, smilende og uden en anelse om, hvad der skulle komme.En: Jens turned his attention to her, smiling and unaware of what was about to come.Da: "Hvad er det, Freja?En: "What is it, Freja?"Da: "Sne begyndte at falde lidt tungere nu, store fnug landede i Frejas hår.En: Snow began to fall a bit heavier now, large flakes landing in Freja's hair.Da: "Jeg.En: "I...Da: jeg har været vild med dig i lang tid.En: I've been fond of you for a long time.Da: Jeg ved, at det her kan ændre alt, men jeg kunne ikke holde det hemmeligt længere," sagde hun.En: I know this might change everything, but I couldn't keep it a secret any longer," she said.Da: Der var et øjebliks stilhed mellem dem, kun afbrudt af lyden af folk, der lo og julemusik, der spillede videre.En: There was a moment of silence between them, only interrupted by the sound of people laughing and Christmas music playing on.Da: Jens kiggede længe på Freja, og så brød et varmt smil frem på hans læber.En: Jens looked at Freja for a long time, and then a warm smile spread across his lips.Da: "Freja, jeg havde ingen anelse," sagde han blidt.En: "Freja, I had no idea," he said gently.Da: "Men jeg er glad for, at du fortalte mig det.En: "But I'm glad you told me.Da: Måske er det værd at finde ud af, hvor dette kan føre os hen.En: Maybe it's worth finding out where this could lead us."Da: "Frejas hjerte sprang et slag over.En: Freja's heart skipped a beat.Da: Hun kunne næsten ikke tro, hvad hun hørte.En: She could hardly believe what she was hearing.Da: Et forsigtigt smil delte sig på hendes ansigt, da Jens trak hende ind til et kram.En: A cautious smile formed on her face, as Jens pulled her into a hug.Da: Sneen dalede tungt omkring dem, som et tæppe af hvid magi.En: The snow fell heavily around them, like a blanket of white magic.Da: Mens de stod der, omgivet af Tivoli Gardens glimtende lys, vidste Freja, at hun havde gjort det rigtige.En: As they stood there, surrounded by Tivoli Gardens' twinkling lights, Freja knew she had done the right thing.Da: Hun havde taget chancen, og nu kunne alt ske.En: She had taken the chance, and now anything could happen.Da: Selvom deres forhold nu ville tage en ny drejning, følte hun sig pludselig mere sikker i sig selv, klar til hvad der end måtte komme.En: Even though their relationship would now take a new turn, she suddenly felt more confident in herself, ready for whatever might come.

Fluent Fiction - Danish: Rediscovering Christmas Spirit: A Journey Through Tivoli Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/da/episode/2025-11-27-23-34-02-da Story Transcript:Da: Bladene på træerne i København havde skiftet til gylden og rød, og Tivoli var klædt i sin smukkeste efterårsdragt, præget af julepynt og glimtende lys.En: The leaves on the trees in København had turned golden and red, and Tivoli was dressed in its most beautiful autumn attire, decorated with Christmas ornaments and sparkling lights.Da: Luften var fyldt med en duft af ristede mandler og gløgg, og børns latter blandede sig med julemelodierne, der svagt kunne høres i baggrunden.En: The air was filled with the scent of roasted almonds and gløgg, and children's laughter mixed with Christmas melodies faintly heard in the background.Da: Søren, en reserveret arkitekt med mange minder fra sine år i København, gik langs de smalle stier i Tivoli.En: Søren, a reserved architect with many memories from his years in København, walked along the narrow paths in Tivoli.Da: Han havde ikke besøgt byen i årevis og følte sig en smule fremmed.En: He had not visited the city in years and felt a bit like a stranger.Da: Han spekulerede på, om han stadig passede ind i denne verden af julelys og festligheder.En: He wondered if he still fit into this world of Christmas lights and festivities.Da: Han skulle møde Mette, hans gamle veninde, som altid havde elsket juletiden.En: He was supposed to meet Mette, his old friend, who had always loved the Christmas season.Da: Mette ventede allerede ved indgangen, iført en varm frakke og et stort smil.En: Mette was already waiting at the entrance, wearing a warm coat and a big smile.Da: "Søren!En: "Søren!Da: Det er så godt at se dig igen!"En: It's so good to see you again!"Da: sagde hun og strakte armene ud for at give ham et varmt kram.En: she said, reaching out to give him a warm hug.Da: Søren smilede, men kunne ikke undgå at føle sig lidt tilbageholden.En: Søren smiled but couldn't help feeling a bit reserved.Da: "Hej, Mette.En: "Hi, Mette.Da: Det ser ud til, at Tivoli er lige så magisk, som jeg husker det."En: It seems like Tivoli is just as magical as I remember."Da: De begyndte at gå rundt i haven, mens Mette ivrigt fortalte om nye tilføjelser til Tivoli og delte barndomsminder.En: They began to walk around the garden while Mette eagerly talked about new additions to Tivoli and shared childhood memories.Da: "Kan du huske, da vi plejede at konkurrere om, hvem der kunne spise flest æbleskiver?"En: "Do you remember when we used to compete about who could eat the most æbleskiver?"Da: spurgte hun lattermildt.En: she asked with a laugh.Da: Søren trak på skuldrene og nikkede.En: Søren shrugged and nodded.Da: "Ja, det var tider."En: "Yes, those were the days."Da: Selvom han lyttede, kunne Søren ikke helt slippe sin tvivl omkring det festive, som han engang elskede.En: Even though he was listening, Søren couldn't quite shake his doubt about the festivity he once loved.Da: Han forsøgte at finde glæden i de små ting, men lyset mindede ham mest om forgangne skygger.En: He tried to find joy in the small things, but the lights mostly reminded him of past shadows.Da: "Skal vi tage en tur i Pariserhjulet?"En: "Shall we take a ride on the Ferris wheel?"Da: foreslog Mette og trak ham mod køen.En: suggested Mette, pulling him toward the line.Da: Søren tøvede, men fulgte med.En: Søren hesitated but followed along.Da: Da de sad i kabinen, mens hjulet langsomt hævede dem over havens lyshav, delte Mette en historie om, hvordan hun i de seneste år begyndte at finde glæde i små stunder, selv når livet føltes kaotisk.En: As they sat in the cabin, while the wheel slowly lifted them above the garden's sea of lights, Mette shared a story about how in recent years she began to find joy in small moments, even when life felt chaotic.Da: "Hver lille lys på et træ," sagde Mette, "kan være et øjeblik af glæde, hvis man tillader sig selv at se det."En: "Every little light on a tree," said Mette, "can be a moment of joy if you allow yourself to see it."Da: Hendes oprigtighed rørte Søren, og for første gang den aften begyndte hans hjerte at åbne sig.En: Her sincerity touched Søren, and for the first time that evening, his heart began to open.Da: Da Pariserhjulet begyndte at sænke sig igen, så Søren ud over haven.En: As the Ferris wheel started to descend again, Søren looked out over the garden.Da: Lyset, der før var overvældende, blev nu til små glimt af skønhed.En: The light, which had once been overwhelming, now transformed into small glimpses of beauty.Da: Han så, hvordan Mette så på ham med et varmt og opmuntrende blik.En: He saw how Mette looked at him with a warm and encouraging gaze.Da: "Tak, Mette," sagde Søren stille.En: "Thank you, Mette," said Søren quietly.Da: "Måske har jeg bare ikke set de små lys de sidste par år."En: "Maybe I just haven't seen the small lights in the past few years."Da: Da de trådte ud af Pariserhjulet, så Søren alles øjne fyldt med forventning og lykke.En: As they stepped off the Ferris wheel, Søren saw everyone's eyes filled with expectation and happiness.Da: Han indså, at juleånden ikke var væk, men blot havde ventet på, at han skulle genkende den.En: He realized that the Christmas spirit hadn't disappeared, but had simply been waiting for him to recognize it.Da: Mette tog hans arm, og sammen gik de videre gennem haven, med en nyvunden glæde og forbindelsen fra gamle dage, nu genfundet i små øjeblikke.En: Mette took his arm, and together they continued through the garden, with newfound joy and the connection from the old days, now rediscovered in small moments.

There's a lot of talk about challenges to Christopher Luxon's leadership. Toby, Ben and Annabelle do as they must and talk about the talk and whether there's more to it. First on the agenda, however, is a reform trailed as the biggest overhaul of local government since 1989 – just how will this new Galactic Senate setup work, and can it fix the resource management mess? Plus: all the reasons, mostly involving Winston Peters, that it is very clear we're in election season, and a revelatory new interview from Tākuta Ferris on the immolation in Te Pāti Māori.

Top Stories for November 25th Publish Date: November 25th PRE-ROLL: BUFORD HOLIDAY FESTIVAL From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Tuesday, November 25th and Happy Birthday to Joe DiMaggio I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. John Berry ready to kick off 29th annual Christmas tour in Sugar Hill 'A welcome addition' — Popular Christkindl Market coming to Lawrenceville for the holiday season Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, resigns house seat All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: Kia Mall of Georgia - DTL HOLIDAY STORY 1: John Berry ready to kick off 29th annual Christmas tour in Sugar Hill John Berry’s not making it home for Thanksgiving—again. The country music legend is kicking off his 29th annual Christmas with John Berry tour at the Eagle Theatre in Sugar Hill, where he and his band will spend the week rehearsing before the first show on Friday, Nov. 28. The tour hits 17 cities, including Macon, the only stop that’s been on the schedule every single year. “Even during COVID, the mayor made sure we kept the streak alive,” Berry said. The show? A mix of his hits (Your Love Amazes Me, Standing on the Edge of Goodbye) and Christmas classics from his O Holy Night album. STORY 2: 'A welcome addition' — Popular Christkindl Market coming to Lawrenceville for the holiday season One of the country’s top Christmas markets has found a new home—right in Lawrenceville. The Atlanta Christkindl Market, a German-style holiday tradition that draws up to 160,000 visitors each year, kicks off on Black Friday and runs through Christmas Eve at the Lawrenceville Lawn. Think handcrafted gifts, authentic German food and drinks, a 150-foot Christmas tree, a Ferris wheel, and family-friendly entertainment. After four years in Buckhead, the market outgrew its space. “This is a perfect fit,” said Mayor David Still. “It’s another reason to celebrate the season in our city.” STORY 3: Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, resigns house seat Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene dropped a bombshell Friday—she’s stepping down from her seat in the House. Her last day? January 5. The announcement came via a video she posted on X (formerly Twitter) Why now? What’s next? There’s plenty of room for speculation. Greene’s exit is bound to shake things up. One thing’s for sure: the political world will be buzzing about this one for a while. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles Markets - SUGAR HILL HOLIDAY STORY 4: Police: Hit-and-run driver allegedly abandoned injured passenger after accident A horrifying crash in Duluth earlier this month left a passenger fighting for their life—and the driver now facing a stack of charges. Samuel Contreras-Garcia, who police say fled the scene on foot, has been charged with felony hit-and-run, reckless driving, and more. The crash happened around 5:30 a.m. on Nov. 16 at Buford Highway and Duluth Highway. Officers found a mangled silver sedan wedged between poles, and the unrestrained front-seat passenger had been thrown from the car. Critically injured, they were rushed to the hospital. Surveillance footage allegedly shows Contreras-Garcia abandoning the wreck without calling 911. He was arrested two days later. STORY 5: Gwinnett DA's Office recognizes law enforcement The Red, Blue, and You event wasn’t the only moment of gratitude for Gwinnett’s law enforcement. The District Attorney’s Office hosted its own appreciation ceremony, shining a spotlight on the bravery and service of officers, deputies—and even a nurse—who’ve gone above and beyond. Held at the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center, the event honored more than a dozen individuals from six agencies. “When lives are on the line, having people like this step up—it’s everything,” said DA Patsy Austin-Gatson. We’ll be right back. Break 3: Sugar Hill Ice Skating Rink Final STORY 6: GCPS announces 2026 graduation schedule Gwinnett County Public Schools just dropped the 2026 graduation schedule, and it’s a mix of tradition and big arena vibes. Phoenix High kicks things off on May 14 at Lawrenceville Lawn, while Duluth and Discovery close it out on Memorial Day, May 25, at Gas South Arena. Most schools will stick with Gas South Arena for their ceremonies, but a few—like Central Gwinnett, Brookwood, Parkview, and Mill Creek—are keeping it old-school with graduations at their home stadiums. STORY 7: Gwinnett's tag offices moving to new hours of operation in 2026 Starting in 2026, Gwinnett’s tag offices are trimming their hours—closing 30 minutes to an hour earlier each day. Beginning Jan. 1, offices will run from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Right now, they stay open until 5:30 p.m. most days and 6 p.m. on Wednesdays. Why the change? Tax Commissioner Denise Mitchell pointed to the growing use of self-service kiosks—16 in total, with three available 24/7. “We want to make things easier,” she said. Oh, and heads up: all tag offices, the main office, and the call center will close at noon on Dec. 5 for system updates. Back to normal Dec. 8. We’ll have closing comments after this Break 4: STRAND THEATRE Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today’s Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

What does it take to turn a local bracket meet into a 140-car institution that tracks want to host and racers plan their year around? We sit down with Scott Stregel to unpack the Texas Muscle Car Club Challenge, from how the series shares revenue with drag strips to the schedule and class design that keep cars in the lanes and teams coming back.Scott explains why a fourteen-date calendar beats endless makeup races, and how shifting out-of-town events to Saturday afternoons through midnight helps racers dodge brutal Monday commutes after long tows. We break down the club divisions—5A for large rosters, 4A for mid-size, 3A for smaller teams—why everyone still races everyone in brackets, and how the points chase remains fair across club sizes. You'll also hear why most race cars run eighth mile in this region, when quarter mile makes sense for street-tire classes, and how that balance keeps competition safe and close.Beyond the staging lanes, we get into the media engine behind the growth: consistent social content, cross-promotion with host tracks, and the push to document more live racing with photos and video. That spotlight doesn't just hype results; it builds a community identity that travels from Ferris to Houston and beyond. Scott previews the targeted mid-March season start, the spring and fall segments, and the venues on the wish list, plus the addition of a TV vehicle class aimed at new participants. For details on rules, brackets, and contacts, he points listeners to the central hub at tmcc.org.If you care about grassroots racing that's organized, sustainable, and genuinely fun, this is the blueprint.

FULL INTERVIEW: Ngāti Kahungunu chair Bayden Barber is calling for reconciliation after Te Pāti Māori's national council expelled MPs Mariameno Kapa-Kingi and Tākuta Ferris. . Barber, who is trying to broker a peace deal between the factions of the party for the Iwi Chairs Forum, says the unrest has been "pretty damaging" for Māori as a whole. As iwi grapple with the consequences of Government policy, he says Te Pāti Māori needs to focus on the bigger picture rather than fight among themselves. . Barber says the party "haven't taken heed" of the Iwi Chairs Forum's calls for reconciliation. Q+A asks him what that reveals about how Te Pāti Māori views iwi leaders, and whether John Tamihere can remain president of a united Māori party. . Join Jack Tame and the Q+A team and find the answers to the questions that matter. Made with the support of NZ on Air.

Simon from Scalding joins Ferris in-studio for an in-depth playthrough and discussion of their recently released Nuclear Winter Spell. Second half of the show dives into a dynamic throatslashing playlist, expertly compiled by the band's frontman. Hostile winter. Hellscape. Bloody tundra. Storms ablaze.

This week on The Sunday Panel, editor and journalist Jo McCarroll and Newstalk ZB host Roman Travers joined in on a discussion about the following issues of the day - and more! A damning police watchdog report from last week found numerous failures in how police handled complaints a staff member made against disgraced former deputy Police Commissioner Jevon McSkimming. How bad does this look for the police? It's been a big week for Te Pāti Māori, with Mariameno Kapa-Kingi and Tākuta Ferris being ousted. Is this a bad look ahead of the election? The All Blacks got trounced in their latest match against England in Twickenham. What do we make of this? LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

MP's Tākuta Ferris and Mariameno Kapa- Kingi were expelled from the party this week with its President John  Tamihere accusing them of plotting a leadership coup.

Like… Atlantic Ocean–sized space.” Not a breakup — just space.Emory, the youngest — aspiring photographer, newly jobless, single, and hoping someone out there will make her feel seen.The family arrives on December 19th, ready to check in.At check-in, a very charming crew member named Noah helps Emory to her room. Sparks. Are. Spark-ing.Cal discovers his room neighbors are a sweet grandfather and his granddaughter Felicity. Grandpa is very interested in pairing them up. Felicity is not amused.The family competes in a gingerbread house contest — and it's a full disaster. But onward! They head to their first Christmas market, needing to get back by 7 PM. Everyone can tell something is up with Dylan.They have such a great time that… they miss the boat. Literally.Now stranded, they end up staying at a tiny off–the–grid German hotel owned by a very intense German woman. Emory suspects their parents planned this trip for reasons. The siblings open up to each other a bit.The next morning, they pile onto a three-person motorcycle (it is exactly as chaotic as it sounds) to chase the boat, which is now leaving earlier than planned. They make it just in time — and William is waiting on the dock.Back on board, Dylan asks William again if he's ready to talk. William still can't. Dylan decides to bunk with Emory for now.Meanwhile, Cal heads to the hot chocolate bar… and of course Felicity is there.Noah asks Emory if she'd be willing to take photos for the ship's marketing. She's thrilled. They shake on it — and that handshake definitely lingers.Dylan eventually tells his siblings what's going on. He's afraid William doesn't love him anymore. They remind him: William flew halfway around the world to be here. Emory shares that she was laid off by email. Everyone finally gets vulnerable.Next port!Dylan and William take a walking tour and have some very sweet, flirty moments. William says, “If I could tell you what's going on, I would. I promise.”Emory takes photos of her parents for Noah's campaign. They encourage her to follow her heart — wherever that leads.Cal and Felicity wander their market stop together and the chemistry is real.Then comes the ship-wide White Elephant party. Fun — until Dad nearly falls. Time for The Family Talk.Dad shares that he has Parkinson's Disease, stage 1 — early and mild, but life will change. They'll need to sell the house. And they reveal that William already knew because he's a neurosurgeon who has treated Parkinson's patients.Dylan goes to William — and they finally talk honestly. It's tender and healing.Cal opens up to Felicity. Emory finds Noah and just gives him the biggest, longest hug.Next stop. Another market.Emory updates Noah: she's moving back to Portland to be close to her dad, and she'd love for Noah to visit — maybe go on a date. He says, “Why wait? Let's go tonight.”Dylan tells the family his big idea: his company will repurpose their old property into a supportive community for people with Parkinson's.Dylan and William go on a Ferris wheel. They both propose. They both say yes. It's perfect.The movie ends with the whole family ice skating together — the siblings steadying their dad on the ice — all of them together, exactly where they need to be.

Recent tensions within Te Pāti Māori, which exploded into the light last month, have culminated in the expulsion of two rogue MPs: Mariameno Kapa-Kingi of Te Tai Tokerau and Tākuta Ferris of Te Tai Tonga. Despite this, much remains unresolved, and controversy lingers over the preceding actions, the manner in which they were communicated online, and how the expulsion was handled by the party leadership.  Wednesday Wire Producer Manny spoke with Jason Mika, Professor of Māori Management at the University of Auckland, to get his perspective on the expulsions.

Te Pāti Māori has severed ties with estranged MPs Mariameno Kapa-Kingi and Tākuta Ferris, after a torrid period of internal conflict. Its national council voted to expel the pair at a hui on Sunday night for what it says are "serious breaches" of its constitution. It's another extraordinary chapter in a conflict that doesn't appear to be over - with the ousted MPs vowing to fight their expulsions. Political reporter Anneke Smith has more. 

The Iwi Chairs Forum says a breakdown in communication is to blame for tensions boiling over within Te Pāti Māori. MPs Mariameno Kapa-Kingi and Takuta Ferris have been expelled from the party. They're both remaining defiant and have labelled the process illegitimate. Iwi Chairs Forum spokesperson Bayden Barber says he was trying to set up a meeting between the two factions for tomorrow, but that's not going ahead. He told Mike Hosking the two sides haven't talked in a month. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Should we go further and threaten withdrawing citizenship rights? ANZ has announced a significant profit boost today - should we be concerned? Or is this just business?

A sense the fall-out isn't over, after Te Pāti Māori's National Council has ejected two MPs from the party. Tākuta Ferris and Mariameno Kapa-Kingi are calling it unconstitutional, and will sit as independents in Parliament for now. It's after weeks of party in-fighting playing out in public. The party's co-leaders say they haven't considered invoking the waka-jumping law, but didn't rule it out. Former co-leader Te Ururoa Flavell says that seems to be the leadership's intention. "I still think there's a little bit of water to go under the bridge as yet - I understand there may well be some sort of legal challenges to process."

Te Pāti Māori's co-leaders won't share why their National Council decided to expel Tākuta Ferris and Mariameno Kapa-Kingi. The Council met last night to decide on the two MPs' fate. The expulsion comes after weeks of public sparring between the pair and Party President John Tamihere. Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper explained the situation further.

mere nysgerrigt.En: It only became more curious.Da: Lars, der endelig slap et smil af på sine læber på grund af egernets skøre forsøg, mumlede, "Dette egern er som en lille julegnome, uafvendelig."En: Lars, who finally let a smile escape his lips due to the squirrel's crazy antics, muttered, "This squirrel is like a little Christmas gnome, unstoppable."Da: Frustrationen voksede.En: Frustration grew.Da: "Vi må tage affære," sagde Mikkel, stadig grinende.En: "We have to take action," said Mikkel, still laughing.Da: De besluttede sig for at jagte egernet rundt i parken.En: They decided to

visitors.Da: Gennem snoede stier, tæt på glitrende pariserhjul og mellem duftende honningkageboder gik jagten.En: Through winding paths, near glittering Ferris wheels, and between fragrant gingerbread stalls, the chase went.Da: Deres latter ekkoede, blandet med egernets hurtige fnys.En: Their laughter echoed, mixed with the squirrel's quick snorts.Da: Til sidst stoppede de ved en stille plet, forpustet men glade.En: Finally, they stopped at a quiet spot, out of breath but happy.Da: "Okay," sagde Mikkel med et bredt smil, "lad os prøve én sidste gang."En: "Okay," said Mikkel with a broad smile, "let's try one last time."Da: Denne gang, til deres overraskelse, sattede det lille egern sig roligt op på Lars' skulder.En: This time, to their surprise, the little squirrel calmly perched on Lars' shoulder.Da: Sofie og Mikkel smilede bredt, og Lars, der endelig gav op på grumpy-facaden, lo højt.En: Sofie and Mikkel smiled broadly, and Lars, who finally gave up his grumpy facade, laughed

Te Pāti Māori's co-leaders have returned to Parliament and finally fronted for media, as the party works out what to do about rogue MPs Mariameno Kapa-Kingi and Tākuta Ferris. Rawiri Waititi is backing party president - and his father-in-law - John Tamihere's claims the two MPs sought to challenge for the party leadership, and that the party is considering their expulsion. Meanwhile iwi leaders have also come to Parliament to help the party work through the impasse - and the co-leaders say they're elated. Political reporter Giles Dexter spoke to Lisa Owen. 

We've dug into the podcast vault to bring back a show from the first year of USModernist Radio.  One of the best 80s films is Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Here's the plot: near the end of the school year, high school senior Ferris Bueller (played by Matthew Broderick) fakes being sick to stay home. His parents believe him, though his sister Jeanie (played by Jennifer Grey, the baby you don't back into a corner) is not convinced. Ferris persuades his best friend Cameron (Alan Ruck) to help lure Ferris' girlfriend (Mia Sara) out of school and let them use his father's prized 1961 Ferrari. Spoiler:  that Ferrari tumbles out of a really cool Modernist house, much to the chagrin of Cameron and his dad. Our pal Bob Langford, who pretty much knows every line in the movie, drops by to help us examine this cultural icon with guest Meghann Salamasick, who with her husband Chris are the owners of the that famous Modernist house. Later in the show, with apologies to Wayne Newton, it's George and Bob and Tom serenading Meghann.

The war of words between Te Pāti Māori's leadership and two of its MPs has taken a dramatic step today, with president John Tamihere suggesting Mariameno Kapa-Kingi and Tākuta Ferris 'do the honourable thing' and step down. The bombshell social media post follows a move by the party's National Council to suspend Maria-meno Kapa-Kingi, who is MP for Te Tai Tokerau. John Tamihere's comments come as the executive for Te Tai Tonga - Takuta Ferris' electorate - launched a petition calling for Tamihere's resignation. Political reporter Giles Dexter spoke to Lisa Owen.

What are the most effective ways to teach surgery to the next generation of ophthalmologists? In this podcast, renowned teacher Dr John Ferris delves into that topic and with his extensive experience with surgical simulators, wet labs, didactic teaching, and direct mentorship he offers keen insight that can help you become a better surgeon.
