Ben & Sharky meet with San Francisco Democratic County Central Committee Chair (wow what a mouthful!) and Mayoral Transition Advisor Nancy Tung. We discuss the then-upcoming Mayoral appointments (which, thanks to a grumpy SD disk, took a week to post so those appointments have now been made) as well as the then-upcoming Board of Supervisors election for Board President. Sound like inside baseball? It absolutely is. This is the kind of magic our little podcast delivers. Also, now that the election is over, we're gonna try and make Fun Police episodes a bit more regularly. No promises, but that's our intention for 2025.

Content warning: Today's Local Hour contains conversation about sexual assault and sexual misconduct. If you or a loved one has been a victim of sexual abuse, you are not alone. Help is available via the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-4673. Today's cast: Dan, Amin, Andrew Hawkins, Chris, Jeremy, Mike, and Tony. After last night's fun on Thursday Night Football full of wacky football in the snow, Dan inexplicably wanted to begin the Shadow Show with RFK Jr. sound. Then, Jameis Winston delivered some incredibly funny and memorable sound last night both before and after the Browns win, but after we listen to a montage, Dan notices a look on Jeremy's face from the corner of the room. Are we allowed to discuss Jameis without having conversations about his past? What if it's a celebration of his personality? Where do we draw the line on this show in particular? Plus, Hawk declares himself the "Myles Garrett of movement" as we discuss Garrett's dominance, and Jason Kelce's fame continues to escalate. We'll hear video from TMZ of a fan going after Kelce whenever the video team gets it together, but in the meantime, Dan, Amin, and Hawk discuss how fame can be suffocating and how Kelce will potentially need to change in order to handle it.

It was great to see the fun police did not win this week - and really cool to see it was partially driven by primary school kids who stood up for the New Zealand way of life. And yes, I'm talking about the right to jump off a jetty! The Tasman District Council has had to reword a proposed bylaw which would have inadvertently banned swimming or diving off wharfs and jetties following a groundswell of objections, including from Lake Rotoiti School students. The children pointed out how a ban would crush people's happiness and the fun they had together. They also questioned who would enforce the law, and my favourite complaint - it was simply a “very dumb idea”. Lake Rotoiti School principal Mike Allen backed his students, making the point that the jetty jump was at a picturesque tourist hotspot and that he was appalled by the idea of regulating a New Zealand tradition and rite of passage. I couldn't agree more. There is much we're not allowed to do these days. We have become more protective of our children, focusing on what may go wrong rather than learning by living. Sure, you need to use some common sense. Jetty and wharf jumpers shouldn't be flying off in front of boats or jumping at busy times, and there needs to a good understanding between everyone using the jetty. But surely jumping off stuff is just part of being a Kiwi. My memories of growing up in New Zealand are filled with making the most of what this gorgeous country has to offer - for free. We spent days walking in National Parks, playing in the surf, jumping off whatever we could, picnicking at reserves. It was a joyful, wholesome way to kill a weekend with family and friends. And it's what we've continued to do with our kids. If we're near a jetty and the water is deep, clear and safe – and we're not in the way of boaties - then we jump. And jumping isn't just for kids. As we grow up, we tick off all those grown up milestones - find a partner, buy a house, have kids, and somewhere along the way we stop playing. We forget that its perfectly fine for adults to enjoy the fun stuff in life - like kids do. I've always enjoyed jumping off things, but never as much as doing it with my kids. The cool thing about jumping off a wharf or a jetty is it creates a level playing field. We all share the experience. It's fun, exhilarating and at times terrifying. I've gently encouraged my kids to jump off all sorts of things - and as they've grown they have returned the favour, with the challenges getting higher and scarier. Not everyone likes the common sense approach around issues like this. Some like the idea of regulation. I can understand the council is probably trying to tick off a potential health and safety concern and why this would make things easier for boaties, but everyone should be able to have fun at a lake. So while some may like to wrap everything up in a rule of regulation, I'm glad kids and adults can continue to legally and simply have some fun in the stunning Nelson Lakes District this summer. As an added bonus, some youngsters have learnt how to make a submission to a council. A nice civics lesson right there. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

They discuss the lineups, a first half goal from Tani, DJ's injury, Lod's goal, Arriaga's goal, Johnny Russell doing what he always does against the Loons, and some late game dust ups. They then make their predications for next weeks game against Dallas with a very depleted Loons squad. Some MN soccer history is up next, and they finish the show with a story about a town in Spain having problems with bachelor & bachelorette parties.

Welcome to this episode of Self Kind with me, Erica Webb. Today I'm sharing some personal stories around the impact of rules-driven thinking on self-care. I'm tying this topic into last week's episode with guest Sam Sellers, who joined us to talk about religious trauma. I'm sharing:- my own experiences of guilt and shame that stemmed, at least in part, from my early experiences with religion and fear- why I was nick-named the Fun Police in high school- the value that lay in moving beyond the black-and-white thinking of good and bad, especially in terms of self-care practices- the role of values in navigating outside of rule-based thinking.I want to make note of what this episode is not:- A condemnation of religion or religious beliefs- a thorough exploration of all the other influences on my belief systems - both growing up and now- a judgment of anyone else!Mentioned in this episode:SelfKind with Erica Webb Ep 256: Religious trauma with Sam Sellers: https://www.ericawebbyoga.com.au/podcast/episode/7bd670d7/ep-256-religious-trauma-with-sam-sellersCounselling with Erica: https://www.ericawebb.com.au/work-with-meTime Stamps:00:00 Welcome to Self Kind with Erica Webb00:05 Exploring the Impact of Rules-Driven Thinking on Self-Care00:43 Personal Journey: From Religious Trauma to Self-Compassion04:44 The Lingering Effects of Religious Upbringing13:34 Breaking Up with Religion and Embracing Self-Care16:24 The Pseudo Safety of Rules and the Power of Values24:35 Reflections and Closing ThoughtsShare your thoughts with me over on Instagram or via my website.

David & Eric welcome on one of the great catchers in Braves history, Brian McCann, who appeared in seven All Star games and won six Silver Slugger Awards. They begin with his thoughts on how Atlanta stacks up with Los Angeles and Philadelphia in the National League pecking order. This leads to Brian's observations on the ill effects of the long layoff between the regular season and Division series as he recalls returning to the field after the All Star break. (10:00) McCann shares the best highlights of his career. He and Eric were teammates with the Braves from 2009-2013 and remember their fond collective memories from the clubhouse. Hear about his first big Postseason in his rookie season against an all time great pitcher. (29:45) Full discussion about the unforgettable evening when McCann and Carlos Gomez famously got into it in between third base and home plate in September of 2013. Brian explains what happened that night and why he has been unfairly tagged with the reputation as being a member of the "Fun Police". (43:00) "BMac" talks about the Braves loaded lineup and all the challenges that they present. This includes a conversation on just how special Ronald Acuña Jr. truly is. (50:00) The best player Brian McCann ever played with and an explanation as to why that is his choice. (57:30) Just how hard is it to face Chris Sale, especially as a left handed hitter?

Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "The finest heart and health supplement in the world!": https://www.briannicholsshow.com/heart They call themselves the "Fun Police" - but are they really just modern-day prohibitionists trying to ruin a good time? In this episode, we expose the truth behind these moral busybodies. On today's episode. we're introduced to the concept of the "Fun Police" - self-appointed guardians of morality who oppose vices and nightlife. We explore how these naysayers have used social media to amplify their message of disapproval and condemnation. Brian's guest, Bill Wirtz, explains the history of prohibitionists and temperance movements. We learn how they've shifted strategy over time - becoming more lenient on hard drugs but stricter on gambling, vaping, and sugary drinks. Bill argues for a classically liberal approach focused on informed adult consumers. Brian and Bill debate key issues like advertising, public health advocacy, changing cultural norms, and finding the right balance between freedom and regulation. They discuss the unintended consequences of outright bans and "quasi-prohibition." The two share final thoughts on decentralization of policy, leading by example vs. government force, acknowledging harms vs. autonomy, and changing culture through open debate rather than imposition. Bill also invites listeners to check out his podcast series "The Fun Police." This episode takes a thoughtful look at how we approach vices as a society. It's an insightful dialogue that raises questions about the role of government, business, community, and personal responsibility when it comes to consumer choice.

Guest: Jenna Everhart, Senior Vice President of Human Resources at Health-E Commerce Does it feel like your HR department is carrying a reputation as being the “fun police”? When your responsibilities include enforcing disciplinary actions, establishing employee regulations, and terminating employees, it can often create the impression that HR solely exists to make rules and ruin the workday fun. By no means is this a new struggle and let's be honest, those well known characters of TV and film are not helping the matter (I'm looking at you, Toby Flenderson!). So how can HR leaders and their teams help change the narrative of their relationship with employees? Jenna Everhart, Health-E Commerce's SVP of Human Resources, joins this latest episode of the HR Works Podcast and helps us tackle this long-standing challenge facing HR professionals.

Back in the day, supposedly conservatives were the ones who cracked down on fun. The common knowledge went that liberals were focused on free expression and free speech, while the right tried to shut things down.The modern left has abandoned its old principles of free expression, however, and become infamous for scolding Americans on not being 100% politically correct.Noah Rothman, author of the new book “The Rise of the New Puritans: Fighting Back Against Progressives' War on Fun,” says this new wave of woke censorship echoes the utopian push by the Puritans of old.Rothman says the leftist utopia is “a sort of messianic mission” that views anything not directly pushing leftist ideology “as not only worthless, but a threat [and] a menace.”He continues:The ideal here, an unrealizable ideal, is the creation, insofar as it is possible, of the ideal society. This is a vision, a framework of social organization, that extirpates the maladies associated with human frailty. It's an unachievable objective.Rothman joins the show to detail the left's shift from free expression to wokescolding, and how the rest if us can best counter it. We also cover these stories:President Joe Biden says he is committed to putting more restrictions on gun ownership in America. Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk backs off from buying Twitter and shares memes about it.Gas prices are going down, according to AAA. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
