How does what we believe about eternity shape the way we live now? While we wait for Jesus' return, we live with purpose, hope, and anticipation — building a life rooted in the promise of what's to come. James Nored September 28, 2025 For more information, visit us at fxcc.org.

In this episode, the gang discusse Twinless, the Emmys, the Pitt, The Long Walk, 28 Years Later, The Man Who Killed Hitler And Then The Bigfoot, Alien Earth, Friendship, and Upload. This episode kicks off with just Kevin and Lauren. They discuss the new film Twinless, starring Dylan O'Brien. It's a low-budget affair that should have had a better release. Despite its less-than-stellar advertising, the film is excellent, getting great reviews on both Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB. It's a film about two men who meet in a group for those who have lost their twins, and the emotional journey they take together. It's definitely worth watching in the theater if you can find it, but otherwise catch it as soon as it streams somewhere!  Andrew joins the call, and when Lauren finishes, the gang discusses the 2025 Emmys. While they generally agreed with the victors, some of the nominees were questionable. Many shows had too many nominations, whereas some more deserving had none. But overall, the Emmys got it right.  The Emmy discussion leads us straight into Lauren's review of the series "The Pitt" on HBO. It's a 15-episode series about life in a Pittsburgh emergency room. It stars new Emmy winner, Noah Wiley The show is shot in an almost a 24-like method where the 15 episodes are basically in real time. This show deserved every award it won. After Lauren says goodnight, it's left up to Kevin and Andrew. Andrew had the opportunity to see "The Long Walk" in theaters this week. While Kevin hasn't seen it, he's a huge Stephen King fan, so he's been very much anticipating this review. Overall, Andrew liked the movie and recommends it, although some issues with bodily functions may have sent him a little over the edge. That being said, it's worth seeing in the theater if you have the time and the money, so go check it out.  For the first time in a while, we get to a film that both guys have seen, 28 Years Later. This is an extension of 28 DaysWeeks Later and is definitely in a more run-down world than we've seen before. Past films seem to suggest that the rage virus affected the entire world, but it now seems isolated to the United Kingdom. Survivors are now in quarantine in the UK. This is the story of a both falling out with his father and coming into his own to save his mother's life. There are some great performances by Jodie Comer and Ralph Fiennes, as well as the young lead. This one is definitely worth checking out now that it's streaming on Netflix.  Next up, it's just Kevin for a minute, and e talks about a film called "The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot". If, by chance, you're reading this before you watch the episode, it's recommend that you take a minute and think about what you imagine this film would be. As you watch Kevin talk about it, you'll find it's absolutely nothing like anything you thought it would be. It stars Sam Elliott, and that's all we'll say here. We may not recommend going to watch this film, even though it's on Hulu, but it's interesting. If you want to see a story of a man's life journey, then go check it out.  Keeping with the theme of things that probably no one will watch, Andrew watched "Friendship" this week, so it gives Kevin a chance to grill him about what he thought of the film. Generally speaking, both gentlemen agree that it's not the best film. It's neither funny nor dramatic. The argument could be made that the actors were very good, arguably too good, but overall, the film itself just is not worth watching.  After a deep breath, Kevin and Andrew talk about the penultimate episode of Alien Earth, which is obviously excellent. There's a lot to unpack here because the guys haven't talked about it for a couple of weeks. Overall, the guys have loved the season so far and are really excited to see where it goes, although there's some hesitation as to whether they can end it properly, knowing that it may not even get a second season. There's a good discussion and, of course, some predictions for the finale, which may or may not have come true. So give it a listen and then go watch the season finale, which just aired.  Kevin closes out the show talking about the series finale of Upload on Amazon Prime. It's a short fourth season, which amounts to a four-part series finale. Overall, it's been a lot of fun to watch. If you started watching from the beginning, you'll be satisfied with the ending. If you haven't watched, it's almost a mash-up of The Good Place and Idiocracy. You have to be in the mood for some silly humor, but it is very creative and a lot of fun, and the comedic acting is on point. So if that is your jam, go give it a watch and enjoy.  As always, thank you for watching. If you haven't already, don't forget to Like & Subscribe. We love new viewers!

Christ's priesthood is after the order of Melchizedek. What does this say about the place of the Law for the New Testament believer?

The phrase "Go to heaven" is not mentioned anywhere in the Bible. There are mentions of desiring to go and be with the Lord, but when it comes to heaven, we are mentioned as the ones waiting for its arrival. What if heaven is a place on earth?

Today we sit down with Sheila Carrasco, who brings “Flower” to life on the hit CBS comedy Ghosts. After earning her BFA at NYU, she spent three years self-producing plays without an agent before pursuing an MFA at Harvard's American Repertory Theater, where she honed her comedic skills and character work. That path led her to the Groundlings' famed Sunday Company, where she found her voice and signed with CAA. Sheila shares the twists of her Ghosts audition including the COVID shutdown that nearly derailed it to the creative choices that shaped Flower. She also gives insights on ensemble improv and lessons learned from industry veterans, including her time as a stand-in on The Good Place. Her story is a testament to perseverance, finding your niche, and why it “takes 10 years to start working as an actor” and “20 years to build a career.” These are the unforgettable stories that landed Sheila Carrasco right here.

Deep down, we all feel the ache of homesickness — a longing for a place we've never fully known. The Bible says that's because we were made for more than this world as it is. Heaven is not just escape, but home: a renewed creation where God lives with His people and every wrong is made right. Robin Gough September 14, 2026 For more info, visit us at fxcc.org. 

Die Europäische Zentralbank will ihren „good place“ nicht verlassenNach der Ratssitzung im Juni hatte EZB-Präsidentin Christine Lagarde verkündet, dass sich die EZB mit dem aktuellen Dreiklang von Leitzinsen, Wachstum und Inflation „in a good place“ befinde. Und auch, wenn Lagarde die Handlungsbereitschaft der EZB betont, diesen „good place“ nötigenfalls auch mit Zinsschritten zu verteidigen, bleiben die Leitzinsen nach der aktuellen Ratssitzung unverändert. Das war allgemein so erwartet worden, auch wenn Carsten Brzeski im Gespräch mit Sebastian Franke immer noch der Meinung ist, dass es auch Gründe für eine weitere Zinssenkung gegeben hätte. Und auch für die Zukunft will er nicht ausschließen, dass die EZB doch noch zum Handeln gezwungen sein könnte, wenn sich die Dynamik bei Wachstum und Inflation schwächer zeigen sollte als gedacht.

AUDIO TRANSCRIPT Good morning.My name is Justin Cady. If we haven't met yet, I serve as one of the elders here at Harvest andas we prepare to get into God's word, I'm going to ask that you would pray for me toclearly and accurately communicate and I will pray for you to have hearts to receive. So let's pray.In Jesus' name, amen.If you have your Bibles, you can open them to Matthew chapter 7 andwe're continuing our journey this year through the Sermon on the Mount, but before we get there, I want to ask you.Can you remember a situation ever where you needed to call your dad for help?I'm blessed that by God's grace, I've always been able to go to my dad when I'm in a jam and in God's providence,He blessed my dad with a son who often got into jams.So I thought back, way back, to the first jam that I can remember. I was around five years old.I was playing Nintendo and I made it to the end of a Super Mario Brothers castle, but I couldn't defeat the boss.So I thought, I'll just ask my dad.But he was at work, so I paused the game andI closed the cabinet over the TV. In the 90s, we all put our TVs behind doors, right?And I thought what I was just going to leave it on all day and then when he got home, he could help me.But my mom found it. She didn't agree with my leave the TV on all day plan.So, but I know given the chance, I have complete confidence he would have delivered.Another jam later in life when I was a teenager with a driver's license.One year, we were just getting back from family vacation that very evening.And some of my friends were getting together for a back-to-school pool party.And my parents try to tell me, look, it's getting late, you're only going to be there for a little bit.Are you sure it's a good idea to go out there?But of course, I had to go.Now, not only am I old enough that I was playing the original Nintendo,I'm also old enough to have been operating a motor vehicle before the age of Google Maps.So as I was heading out to this party, I got lost.And while doing a three-point turn on some random street out in Murraysville, I slid my car over the curb.So I had to call my dad, who that day had packed us all up and drove us all home from the beachand explained that my car is now hanging halfway over the curb, stuck into somebody's downslope driveway.Dad, what do I do?Has anyone ever had to make a call like that?Or dads, have you ever received a call like that?At another decade or so, and I had to call my dad about a different car problem.Michelle and I were buying our first cars, a married couple, and I, knowing absolutely nothing about cars,I was totally panicked that we were going to buy a lemon or we're going to way overpay,or who knows what I'm going to get fleeced into.So in my panic, I called my dad.And I said, "Dad, could you come with me to negotiate on the car?"And he could have rightfully said, "You're on your own, son."But he came to help.And don't worry, that was a very long time ago, and since then I've purchased my vehicles all by myself.But I share those few examples to point out the reason that I always saw my dad's helpand the reason that he always gave it to me.Our relationship.The reason is our relationship.He is my father and I am his son.And my dad and I have always been in a good place.And I realize how blessed I am to be able to say that.And because of that relationship, I could always and did always ask my dad for whatever help I needed.I called to ask him for help yesterday.But for the moment, I want us to shift our view from earthly fathers to our relationship with our heavenly father.The Bible tells us that believers can address God as father because through Jesus we become children of God, amen?But if we didn't talk to our heavenly father for years, would our relationship be the same?And I'm not talking about a salvation issue.Once you are his child, that's that.I'm just saying, if you never spend time together or you never ask him for help, or you never trust anything he said,or you never listened to anything he tells you to do, what would that say about your relationship?You wouldn't say it's great, right?In that regard, how is your relationship with your heavenly father?Would you say that you're in a good place?Now, careful listeners this month might be wondering, our series the past few weeks has been about our heart towards the world.So in the last couple weeks we've talked about money, worry, judging others.What does my relationship with my father or asking of my father, what does that have to do with my heart towards the world?Well, it might seem like Jesus is taking a sudden turn at the start of this passage,but we're going to see how your relationship with your heavenly father, it absolutely affectsyour relationship and how you also ask him and approach him when you're in a jam.It absolutely affects your relationships with other people.So on your outline today, when my father and I are in a good place,number one, I ask, knowing my father's generosity.So in Pastor Jeff Sermon last week, if you were here, you know we saw a lot.We saw twigs and logs. We saw hogs and dogs.But primarily we saw Jesus telling us, do not do these things.This week we're going to see him telling us, do these things.And the week before last we studied Jesus speaking of the father's provision.If you remember him talking, Jesus talking about feeding the birds and clothing the flowers.We'll see some parallels to that today, but well, that section of Jesus teaching focused on worry.This passage starts out with a different focus. It's an invitation.So Matthew seven starting in verse seven, Jesus says, ask and it will be given to you.Seek and you will find knock and it will be open to you for everyone who asks receives and the one who seeks finds and to the one who knocks, it will be opened.Let's stop there.We see in verse seven, Jesus is inviting his followers to ask and we'll see in the following verses.He's talking about asking the father. So ask, seek, knock. All of these are referring to asking the father in prayer, asking continually according to the original language.And the repetition here emphasizes, we're not talking about half hearted by the way prayers.We're talking about passionate, all of me prayer.But you might be thinking, why does Jesus even tell us to ask?Because doesn't God already know what we need even before we ask him?And yes, he absolutely knows Matthew six, eight tells us that.But our heavenly father desires relationship.And here Jesus invites us into the same relationship he has with the father.Throughout Jesus ministry, we see him asking of the father, don't we?And again, through Jesus, we become children of God.And while inviting his followers to ask their father, Jesus gives encouragement that those who ask what receive verse eight for everyone who asks receives the one who seeks.Finds the one who knocks, it will be opened.But what does Jesus mean by that exactly?Because that might sound like Jesus is handing us a blank check, right?Ask for anything and it shows up like a supernatural prime day.And listen, sometimes it is like that. Amen.Sometimes God shows up and immediately answers prayer, just how we asked.And we stand there with our jaws on the floor like, what just happened?I've seen that as a church. We have seen that.But have you ever asked God for something and not received it?Or at least not yet.Yeah, that happens too.But if Jesus said everyone who asks receives, why does that happen?Now, we could spend a lot of time digging into that.Honestly, it's something we cannot fully understand this side of heaven.But scripture does give us some reasons that we do know.So why don't I get what I asked for?Number one, I don't ask.I don't ask.James four.Starting in verse two, the end of verse two tells us you do not have because you do not ask.Now it could be because you get so busy with other stuff.You don't spend time in prayer seeking the Lord wholeheartedly bringing your request before him.Or this is a big one.Sometimes we don't ask because of pride.I got this God. I'll let you know if I need you.Now, we probably don't say those words, but our actions do.We try to do whatever it is on our own without prayer.We try to fix it ourselves, whatever it is without seeking him.I mean, why does Jesus even have to tell us to ask?Pride because in our pride, we forget our need for God.And not just physical or material needs.We forget our spiritual needs.A struggle with a particular sin or an area where we need to grow like in patience or in wisdom, in joy.What about asking the Lord to equip us for all of Jesus instructions in this sermon?I don't mean today's sermon. I mean the whole sermon on the Mount.Do we ask our Father to help us be better disciples?Now, to clarify, physical and material needs are important.100% ask for them.Don't mishear me on that. It's a both and.But for all of the above, we don't ask.Another reason that we don't ask, we're afraid of the answer.We don't ask because we're afraid of being disappointed.So what are you afraid to ask God for right now?A health issue you've been dealing with for a long time?A lost family member that keeps making destructive decisions no matter how many times you try to help.A goal or a desire or something in your life that always seems like it's just out of reach.Think about it for a second.What are you afraid to ask God for right now?Now, we're going to get more into disappointment in a moment, but how would Jesus respond to you not asking out of fear?Based on this passage, he would say, ask whatever it is, bring it to your father.Why don't I get what I asked for?Number one, I don't ask. Number two, I ask wrongly.James continues, you do not have because you do not ask.You ask and do not receive because you ask wrongly to spend it on your passions.Okay, so first you don't ask, but when you do ask, do you ask wrongly?Now, in this context, wrongly means selfishly or sinfully.Like, Father, I'm asking for a Ferrari.I am seeking a Ferrari.I am knocking on the door of the Ferrari dealership.Now, God is certainly capable of that, but why?Is there any purpose beyond my passions?I hope you see what I mean.There's nothing wrong with owning that whip.It's about the heart.Is my request just for my glory?Instead of asking things so we can impress people or keep up with people,we should pray for God to get the glory in all things.God, will you bring healing to this person so that your name may be glorifiedbecause you're doing the healing?God, will you provide a new church building so that your name may be glorifiedbecause you're doing the providing?God, will you free my brother and sister, brother or sister from addictionso that your name may be glorified because only in you can they experience true freedom?Now, I'm not trying to prescribe exact words.I'm just saying our hearts should desire his glory instead of our own.Why don't I get what I asked for?Those are just two reasons.The point is we interpret Jesus' words here knowing he's not a Christian.Knowing he's not fully explaining all the details of God's provision in this passage.We understand from the rest of the New Testament that God is not a vending machine.If this was the only teaching in the whole Bible on prayer, then we might think he was,but Jesus is talking about one aspect of prayer.He's telling us we should have hearts that go to our Father and ask.He is inviting us to ask, knowing that there's no limit to our Father's generosity.Our Father wants to give to his children,but the answer we receive is not always the one that we expected.Why don't I get what I asked for?The hard truth is sometimes what we ask for is not what he wants for us.Our call is to maintain total confidence in our Father regardless of the answer,because point number two on your outline today,when my Father and I are in a good place, I trust knowing my Father's care.Let's continue looking at Jesus' words.We're going to pick it up in verse nine.It says,So Jesus paints a picture to help us understand more deeply.And there are some details we don't want to miss.Like in verse nine,if his son asks him for bread, we'll give him a stone.If you're hungry, what good is a stone?It's worthless.It does nothing.Or if you're verse 10,if he asks for a fish, we'll give him a serpent.If you're hungry, what good is a serpent?It's worse than worthless.It's harmful, right?Jesus is saying, and I'm paraphrasing,even you evil humans know these responses would be insane.So how will your Father in heaven, who is truly good in a way we never can be,how will he respond when we ask him?And that's the point.We can trust our Father because of who he is.He is a Father who cares for his children.Back in college, my friend Jesse and I would play pick-up hockey at the school ice rink.And hockey being a sport with a ton of equipment,they had lockers at the rink that you could rentso you didn't have to lug all of your stuff back and forth.So one day I was sitting in class and I got a text message from Jessewith these exact words,"Give me your hockey locker combination.Don't question me."Now, in that moment, I had a choicebecause college age males sometimes build friendship through destructive pranks.But I chose to trust, and I sent back the combo.And he did not prank me that time.As I later found out, as a birthday present, he grabbed my skates,took them to get sharpened, retaped my stick, stuff like that.It was very nice.But the point is, I responded to that textwithout knowing why he needed to get in the lockeror what he was going to do.I didn't know what to expect.But because of our friendship, I trusted him.Do we trust God like that?Do we trust our Father not because he tells us exactly what's going to happen,but because of who he is?Because our relationship is in a good place.Or let me ask in a different way.What do you expect from God?At times, especially around hard times,I think we expect stones and serpents.Again, we might not say it like that.We say things like, "Of course it would happen this way!That's how it always works out for me!"And that's because our expectations can be influenced by relationships with people.We don't trust God to give good gifts because we've been hurt by human relationships.Human fathers are not perfect fathers.Human friends are not perfect friends.Trust gets broken.You might say, "Justin, you don't get my situation.My life has been full of disappointment.Things have not turned out how I expected at all."And you're right.I have not walked in your shoes.I don't know your situation.And I cannot speak to your disappointment.But I know my Father.And He tells us to ask and to expect good things from Him.Because He cares for us as a Father cares for His children.So will hard times come?Oh yeah.Jesus tells us that elsewhere.And you won't always understand why.But here He tells you to trust your Heavenly Father.Trust Him regardless of what you expect and regardless of what you ask for.Because sometimes we ask for the wrong things and that's okay.What do I mean?We ask God for that house or that job or that anything.And we can and should freely ask for all of that because praise God,He does not always give us what we ask for.If my kids ask me to have dessert for all three meals,I'm not going to give them what they asked for.And I do that because I care for them, right?In the same way we can't see sometimes what that house or that jobor that whatever it is will ultimately do to us, but He can.So we trust Him to give good gifts.And we don't have to worry even about getting our request exactly right.So continually ask and totally trust.I know just continually ask and totally trust.It is incredibly difficult for us to do that.But do you trust Him?Is your relationship with Him in a good place?Because now we're going to see how that relationship affects our relationships on Earth too.When my father and I are in a good place,point number three, I love knowing my father's love.So we've been talking again about our heart towards the Father,but what about our heart towards the world?Let's read our last verse for today, Matthew chapter seven verse 12.It says, "So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them,for this is the law and the prophets."Now we know this as what rule?That's right.This is commonly labeled the golden rule, just like Grandma taught in Sunday school.This is how Jesus wants us to love, humbling ourselvesand doing what we would wish to others.Now verse 12 opens with a "so"and I believe this is another instance of Jesus' logical progressionthat we've seen in the Sermon on the Mount.He is connecting this verse to the verses that we just read.But how does Ask Seek Knock connect to Do unto Others?Again, our relationship with our Father influences our relationships with people.Jot down 1 John 419, it says, "We love because he first loved us."Understanding the Father's love for us is what motivates us to love.Now Jesus is also here pointing back to the entire Sermon on the Mount as in,so based on all of that, love others this way.I mean think back throughout the year, back in the Beatitudes,remember when we had all the congratulations balloons up here,to anger, adultery, retaliation,and on and on, so much of our study this year was about our relationships with others.And that all lands here.Verse 12 again, "So whatever you wish that others would do to you,do also to them for this is the law and the prophets."This verse summarizes Jesus' teaching on discipleship from the Sermon on the Mount,but as if that wasn't enough, Jesus says this statement is the law and the prophets.Now many might notice that the greatest commandment,"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind,"is not here because again Jesus is speaking of human to human interaction.But even limiting it to the scope of human relationships,think about how much is in the Old Testament law,how much is in the books of the prophets that were sent to Israel.Jesus is saying all of that is right here.How?Jesus is talking about the heart of the law rather than the letter of the law.The golden rule is the law and the prophets for one because Jesus says it is.That's enough, right?But if we want to totally lawyer it out,Jesus is saying this is the heart behind everything else in the law.It's the foundation.This is the ethics of Christianity compressed to a single statement.So the question to us is then, how do we do that?And I know what we're all thinking, "I already do that.I always treat others the way that I want to be treated."Let's think about that for a minute.When you're at work, do you always treat everyone with the attitude that you would like directed back at you?What about marriage?When there's a disagreement, do you handle yourself the way that you would want when you are wrong and you will be wrong?What about with family or our friend who just pushes your buttons every time you're together?Would your response be what you wanted if the roles were flipped?In church, I saved this one for last.When you are driving a car,do you consistently treat others with the same patience, understanding,and a benefit of the doubt that you want to receive as a driver?You're like, "What is this guy's deal with cars?"With just a little self-examination, we can see how far off we often are.And the standard is actually even higher than we might realize,because especially with the people that frustrate us, we set the bar at not hurting them.But look at what Jesus said, "Whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them."That is a higher bar than just not hurting.Jesus says, "Do. Take action. Actively put their needs ahead of yours."That is hard.It's also hard to come up with examples for something that affects basically everything we do,but we want to merge into traffic when we're behind schedule, right?So let others in when you see them trying to merge.I promise that's the last driving example.Or what would you want when you're in a stressful season?A card in the mail, meeting for coffee, bringing a meal or a tub of ice cream?When you know that someone is going through a stressful season of their own,take whatever it is to them.Or we want others to listen to us when we have something to say or just get off our chest, don't we?So listen to others instead of just waiting for your chance to say something.It's so difficult to live out things like that.So how can we love like Jesus commands?A few years ago, we had some people over for dinner, just low-key hanging out,and we were cleaning up afterwards and I was doing the dishes.And one guest asked me, "Why do you do the dishes?"I said, "I don't know, I just do the dishes to help out."And he asked, "Did your dad do the dishes?"And I thought back and answered, "Yeah, my dad did the dishes quite a bit growing up. He still does."And this guest said, "You do the dishes because your dad did the dishes."And that whole conversation was 20 seconds, but it's stuck with me ever since, because he's right.There are so many things in my life that I do as a father, as a husband, as a man, because that's what my dad did.So how can we love like Jesus commands?Because that's what our dad did.He loves us, and he proved that by sending his son.Jesus paid the penalty for our sin and gave us the right to become children of God.Through his death and resurrection, we can have a relationship with our father.God's love for us is not in question, yet so often our love for others is.But when we truly know the love of our father, how can we do anything else?Or in the language of this verse, in our hearts, we wish nothing more than to be loved, so we must do that unto others.So as we prepare to close for today, how is your relationship with God the Father?Maybe you're thinking, what if he and I are not in a good place?What if I don't have a relationship with God at all?If that's you, remember, God desires relationship, and Jesus made that possible.The Bible says if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart, that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.So repent, turn from your sin, and start a relationship with him today.And if you already have a relationship, but it's not in a good place, open the lines of communication to get it there.Now of course we cannot do any of this on our own, so we ask, seek, knock for help.Actually, let's go in reverse.We know we have to love, and we can't do it by ourselves, so do you trust in the care of your heavenly Father?Then he invites you to ask him.Let's pray together.Our heavenly Father, we come before you and follow Jesus' command to ask.We ask you for help, Lord God.We know that all of the things that we talked about today that we read from your Word, we can't do on our own power.We need you, God.We need you for the very breath we breathe.So I pray, God, that you would give us a renewed focus on deepening our relationship with you, Lord God.And I pray that as we are filled with your love, we would pour that out to others.God, in all the things that we ask, in all the things that we do in our lives as individuals and that we do as a church, Lord God, may you be glorified.We thank you and praise you in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Since Wikipedia was founded nearly 25 years ago as a free, online encyclopedia, it has consistently ranked as one of the top 10 most visited websites globally. In an era when so much of the internet is full of misinformation, polarization, and social media platforms designed to keep you doomscrolling for hours, you could argue that Wikipedia – free of ads, and maintained by volunteer editors – is one of the last good places online.Samantha Edwards is the Globe's online culture reporter. She's on the show to talk about what motivates these editors to volunteer, how AI is threatening the site's future, and why going down a Wikipedia rabbit hole might actually be good for you.Questions?

For over thirty years, Adam Scott has been one of the most engaging, hilarious, versatile actors we have working today. Born in Santa Cruz, California, Scott, the son of two teachers and the youngest of three children, sent all of his schooling in The Golden State, as he was a graduate of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. Post college, Scott started to get acting gigs in several feature films like Star Trek: First Contact, The Lesser Evil, High Crimes, and a notable supporting role in The Aviator, sharing scenes with Leonardo DiCaprio. At the same time, he had made a name for himself on the small screen with appearances on shows like Boy Meets World, Party of Five, and as a love interest on Six Feet Under. Growing up, Scott always dreamed of becoming either the next Al Pacino or David Letterman, becoming obsessed with Pacino as a beacon of acting for a generation as well with Letterman's obscure sense of humor tickling his funny bone. It's funny how life works out, because as Scott was making his mark in more dramatic work, the summer of 2008 changed his career forever when he starred in the latest comedy from director Adam McKay, Step Brothers, and without any improve skills to his resume, was able to land giant laughs opposite the biggest comedy star of the time, Will Ferrell. From this moment, things took off for Scott, as the following summer saw the release of the cult comedy television classic, Party Down, which followed a group of caterers in Los Angeles as they hope to make it in Hollywood. The show was cancelled after two seasons in 2010 (though it was brought back in 2023 for a third season), but as that door closed for Scott, another one opened with his role as Ben Wyatt on Parks and Recreation, a state auditor who slowly becomes the love interest for Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler). As a fan of the acclaimed NBC show, I can say that the best thing to happen to Parks and Recreation was the addition of Scott as Ben Wyatt, delivering one of the funniest characters on the show as well as one of the best television couples of the last twenty years. Since his time with the gang from Pawnee, Indiana, he's continued to showcase his range as an actor, with guest comedic spots on shows like The Good Place and Veep, was part of the ensemble for Big Little Lies, appeared in the sequel to Wet Hot American Summer, and even hosted comedic physical game show called Don't in 2020. But all of this work has lead him to the biggest role of his career so far as Mark on hit Apple TV+ drama, Severance. From the mind of creator Dan Erickson, Severance follows employeesat a mysterious company called Lumon Industries that have undergone a procedure known as “severance” to ensure that they have no memories to the outside world while they are at work, with no memory of their work life once they leave the building. This creates then the idea of an “innie” and “outie” personality within one's self, which would be dangerous if the worlds crosses, but that's exactly what happens to Mark at the end of season one, as he and his other colleges at Lumon briefly are able to bring their innie selves into the real world in their outie's body. The second season grapples with the repercussions of the rebellious Lumon employee's actions, as well as goes down various rabbit holes to show that the company that Mark works for is various dangerous as well as a deeper, personal connection to him that he could've ever known. It's riveting, thought-provoking, thrilling television that has slowly become the best show on television in large part to the excellent writing by Erickson, the inventive direction by Ben Stiller, and the incredible work by the show's massive ensemble, led by Scott, who in season two, not only gives the best performance of his career so far, but the best performance by any actor on television this year. In his glowing review of the season, our television editor Tyler Doster stated that Scott was “at his best this season,” finding “a new hunger” within his performance that grows this season as the mystery around Mark and the other characters begins to take shape. In my in-depth conversation with the Emmy nominated actor and producer, we discussed the anticipation of filming season two, the differences in playing Mark S. and Mark Scout, how trust is a key theme throughout the second season, and what it is like to be part of a global television phenomenon similar to The Twilight Zone and Lost; two shows that mean a lot to him and speak to the power of character forward storytelling. We also spoke about the dueling romantic relationships Mark finds himself in, what it is like working with co-stars Britt Lower and Dichen Lachman, the technical challenges of filming the camcorder and running sequences found in first and last episode of the season, as well as his versatility as a character actor; moving from drama to comedy, and how that helped him form who Mark is. In between all of this, Scott shared his favorite flavor of Gatorade, the need for bananas when performing stunts on set, his fondness for his time on his other beloved television series Party Down and Parks and Recreation, and why he loves the Fast and The Furious franchise. From comedy to drama to everything in between, Scott can do it all, and with Severance, he's showcasing a confidence of an actor who is destiny to continue to empty the tank until it's time to punch out his time card a long time from now. Adam Scott is Emmy-nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for the episode "Cold Harbor" of Severance.

The multi-talented Demi Adejuyigbe is a podcast host (The Gilmore Guys) writer (The Good Place, The Late Late Show with James Corden), and social media celebrity (those wonderful homemade videos for the song “September”). Those are all very exciting things that Demi does and we're concerned they would keep you up. So instead, we're focusing on his interest in film photography: the cameras he uses, the film he acquires, the development process that has consumed an entire bathroom at his home. We also get into the artistic experience of having a finite amount of shots one can really take (as opposed to the endless supply of digital exposures) and how it makes one see the act of photography - and indeed the art of living - in a more selective way. One savors an image more, one remembers it more.

Children need more than comfort — they need the language to name their emotions. Allowing support into your life is a sign of strength, not weakness. Actionable Items When helping a grieving friend, offer specific options (e.g., “Tuesday or Thursday?”) instead of saying “Call me if you need anything.” Use affirming grief language: “There's a space in my heart for them,” rather than “There's a hole in my heart.” Write a letter from your loved one to yourself — a powerful reframe for healing and self-connection.

Jameela Jamil no longer “gives a f---” what people think about her. After years spent trying to inspire fans with positive affirmations, the British presenter and actress has turned her attention to the subject of humiliating failure on a new comedy podcast called Wrong Turns. In this episode, Jamil reveals why she has moved away from trying to inspire people to action and instead has decided to become, in her words, a kind of shameless “failure pervert.” She also breaks down how landing her role as Tahani on the NBC sitcom ‘The Good Place' had less to do with “imposter syndrome” and more with being an actual imposter, details why not knowing who Larry David was when they first met led to her officiating his second wedding, and shares a story about the time she inadvertently ended up pretending to be Priyanka Chopra at an awards ceremony. And, for the first time, Jamil addresses the backlash she received for declaring that she no longer plans to sit for written interviews with female journalists.

HR 1 - The MLB did a great job with the Home Run Derby except for how fans watching on ESPN saw it. However, Arcand says baseball is in a great spot with how they are targeting the youth. Then, a few Red Sox legends have some complaints and Terry McLaurin has some frustrations in tonight's 6:30 Headlines. And, there was a list of the 25 best NFL teams in the last 25 years and you'll never guess who is in the top spot.

Local baseball dudes had a great day yesterday.

An episode that deeply values justice and honesty!In Episode 149 of The Autistic Culture Podcast, Dr. Angela Kingdon explores Pillar 9 of Autistic Culture: Justice Seeking, with special guest Clare Kumar, productivity expert and host of the Happy Space Podcast, to explore Justice Seeking — the 9th pillar of autistic culture.Claire is a late-diagnosed autistic woman, executive coach, and productivity speaker. She brings unique insight into neurodivergent efficiency, workplace design, and inclusive spaces through her work with Hidden Disabilities Canada and her signature Joy Inventory tool.If you've ever been accused of being “too intense,” “too rigid,” or “black-and-white,” this episode is for you. Angela and Claire flip the script and reclaim those traits as moral clarity, fairness-driven thinking, and authentic advocacy — powerful parts of autistic identity.Here's what defines this core Autistic trait:* We call out what others ignore.Autistic people are often the first to question broken systems, double standards, and flawed logic. We don't pretend it makes sense—we say it doesn't.* We sense injustice instantly.Misaligned actions, hypocrisy, and favouritism aren't just annoying—they feel unbearable. Fairness isn't optional. It's foundational.* We speak up—no matter the cost.Whether it's calling out ableism, bias, or misinformation, autistic advocates often challenge power structures—even when it's uncomfortable.* We hold systems to their own rules.We expect policies to be applied with consistency and equity. Selective enforcement? We notice—and we question it.* We feel justice in our bodies.What's labelled as “Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria” is often justice sensitivity—a real-time emotional response to being dismissed for telling the truth.* We don't fake neutrality.When something's wrong, we can't mask it. We're not “too intense”—we're deeply aligned with our values.* We crave clarity, not conflict.Accountability helps us feel safe. We don't want to blame—we want to understand what went wrong and how to fix it.* We value truth over comfort.Authenticity matters more than approval. Many of us would rather lose a friendship than betray our principles.Key Concepts* ✨ Moral clarity: We often see the ethical core of a situation before others do—and struggle to stay silent about it.*

Time and ADHD, they're just not great bedfellows Just as soon as time's wind is at your back and you feel like the world is opening up to you, it can turn and make hours feel like days. We're talking about the messy and inconsistent nature of time as we continue our exploration of our new book, Unapologetically ADHD (which you can order right here!)Pete introduces the idea of time as an antagonist for individuals with ADHD, comparing it to a complex villain with a rich backstory. But it's still a villain. And you know who does villains well? The Good Place, that's who. We emphasize the importance of recognizing and accommodating the fluid nature of time for individuals with ADHD, urging you to embrace strategies that align with your unique experiences. We highlight the significance of self-compassion and understanding in navigating the challenges of "ADHD time," encouraging you to find humor and acceptance in your relationship with time.Links & NotesThe Good Place (TV show)Jeremy Bearimy (Know Your Meme)Dig into the podcast Shownotes Database (00:51) - Welcome to Taking Control: The ADHD Podcast (02:34) - Get Unaplogetically ADHD! https://takecontroladhd.com/adhdbook (04:22) - The ADHD Time Zone ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

This week on Office Ladies 6.0, we take a look back on Jenna and Angela's interview with Mike Schur!

Mike also worked on “Saturday Night Live” and created shows like “Parks and Recreation”, “Brooklyn Nine-Nine”, “The Good Place” and “Rutherford Falls”. Mike shares about a scene where Angela slapped him so hard he spun, Jenna and Mike talk about the difference between acting on a TV show vs a movie, and of course, Mike talks about how much he hated playing Mose.
