Hi everybody and welcome to today's episode of Attendance Bias. I am your host, Brian Weinstein. If you'll indulge my Grandpa-Simpson waxing poetic about the past for a second: when I was first getting into Phish, there were some shows (mostly from the early-90s) that lived in legend. There were stories about them, but it wasn't so easy to find internet posts or first-person narratives about them. One of those shows was June 21, 1994 at the Cincinnati Music Hall. Phish began the show as usual when, about a half hour in, the venue's fire alarm went off, forcing everyone to clear out. The show resumed with a “2nd set” that lasted an hour and 40 minutes! Luckily, social media has advanced to the point where we can instantaneously get in touch with other fans and hear about their experience at shows like that one.That's basically the premise of this podcast, and so I was absolutely thrilled that today's guest, Kev Hollo of Charleston, South Carolina got in touch and wanted to tell about his experience at that exact show. Kev is a long time Phish fan, a musician, and happy to discuss all things Phish, which we do over the course of the episode. While the 1994 Cincinnati show is the basis of today's episode, by no means do we stop there. The conversation ranges from music theory, to ghost stories, to the past, present, and future of the band.  Let's join Kev to chat about it all as we revisit June 21, 1994 at the Cincinnati Music Hall, in Cincinnati, OH.

JD Bunkis kicks off today's show like Grandpa Simpson shaking his fist at a cloud, chatting about the growing generational gap in sports and their fans. Washington Post NFL writer Jason La Canfora joins to share his insight into the Lamar Jackson situation in Baltimore, how Roquan Smith factors in, potential landing sports around the league, and what's next for Tom Brady (10:34). JD then reviews Twitter's new features with the guys, and once again falls into the Abe Simpson mold (47:34). Later on, former NHLer and current Sportsnet analyst Anthony Stewart reflects on being honoured by Kingston Frontenacs and what his time in Kingston was like for him and his brother Chris, before sharing his takeaways from the Maple Leafs' loss to Detroit (52:10). To wrap up, JD and the guys preview this weekend's loaded NFL slate in 'Time for Action', presented by DraftKings! (1:20:34). The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

Another week, and another AFL club has outed themselves as a bunch of apparent amateurs – at least when it comes to their ability to retain a CEO for more than a day. Andrew Thorburn, the man hired to try and steer the Essendon club towards a more prosperous future on and off the field did his best impression of Grandpa Simpson at a bordello this week. – walking out of the door of Bomberland before he had time to even take off his coat. The reason for his swift departure was his other job – as boss of the City on a Hill church. You wouldn't think being so high up in a church would be incompatible with being the boss of an AFL club. But some of the beliefs that church espouse are so backward that Mr Thorburn had no choice but to walking towards the car park when they became public knowledge. On couples of same sex, the church apparently thinks -- “Practising homosexuality is a sin.” On the right of women to choose whether to continue a pregnancy, the church said this – “Future generations will look back with sadness at the legal murder of hundreds of thousands of human beings every day through medicine and in the name of freedom.” These were not the words of Mr Thorburn himself. But were clear and present views of the church he leads. And in explaining his resignation, and his position, Mr Thorburn said he was not aware of them – or of the 2013 sermon given by a pastor which was available at the click of a computer button. He seems to think that absolve him somehow – but as most lawyers will tell you, ignorance is no excuse. The departure has kicked off a vigorous debate about whether people are now being “cancelled” unfairly because of their religious beliefs. A valid debate to have – which I think those who use their religion to excuse intolerance will lose. But the Thorburn debacle also raises another question about how professional AFL clubs really are. If those hiring Thorburn didn't know about his church and their outdate views, then that is a damning indictment on them and their processes. How – when hiring someone to such an important role – could you possibly not do even the most basic of due diligence? That beggars belief. And it also puts another dent in the game's claim to be the “elite” sporting code in this country.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If someone had called me a "child of the devil" before I became a Christian, I'd have imagined them shaking their cane at me like Grandpa Simpson. "Youuuu child of the devil!" And I would have been mildly insulted too. But you know what? Anyone who absolutely refuses to submit to the Lord is actually a child of the devil. And that's what I was doing, that's what anyone is doing who willingly turns their back on God's love and His laws. Turning towards God and how He calls us to act, makes us children of God. And it makes us the family of God. It calls us to be counterintuitively selfless and it calls us to love others in ways that stretch us out of our comfort zones. We know we are children of God by the way we act, repent of our sins and love each other. Tune in as Pastor Paul unpacks the sometimes tricky verses in 1 John 3:10-18.

Hello ladies and gentlemen welcome back to another fun episode all about 'The Simpsons'! Today we take a travel bus into the small town of Springfield, and learn about the characters, quotes and even sing some of the shows most memorable music numbers. Let's see what else can I say to fill up the description? Well "one trick is to tell them stories that don't go anywhere like the time I caught the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe, so I decided to go to Morganville which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So, I tied an onion to my belt which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel. And in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on ‘em. ‘Give me five bees for a quarter,' you'd say. Now, where were we? Oh, yeah! The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt which was the style at the time. They didn't have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones." - Grandpa Simpson

What's a fire tornado? How do the northern lights appear in the night sky? What does Joe Biden's wearing of aviator sunglasses represent culturally? Who is The Falling Man? What exactly is a meme anyway? And what do Mike Pence and Grandpa Simpson have to do with one another? To our blind listeners, for answers to these questions and more, check out Outlook this week where we speak with Christine Malec and JJ Hunt, a blind/sighted team, out of Toronto, who are behind Talk Description to Me, where: “the visuals of cultural events and the world around us get hashed out in description rich conversations”. From one podcast team to another, this episode contains silly moments like our thoughts on how fun goalball actually is to discussion on moving images such as the 9/11 Memorial. JJ has a background in theatre and draws on that in his work describing images and the sighted world that we, as blind people, can often miss. Christine is a musician and audio description consultant and together these two are making quite a splash in the ever expanding world of audio description. And for our sighted listeners, could you describe, in detail, the horror and the heroic actions on a day like 9/11 to someone who was unable to see it with their own eyes? Audio description is an art form and a necessary one, like all art is, but it matters to many of us who want to feel included and to have access to what is seen in popular culture and in news and current events around the world. Some blind people have something of a visual memory and others have never seen, but inclusion is thankfully becoming an universal standard. Find and follow them on social media, by listening to Talk Description To Me on podcast streaming services everywhere (you might even find something that interests you about the world we see and the parts that can pass us by), and find out more by going to their website: https://talkdescriptiontome.buzzsprout.com And you can find Christine's Patreon page here: https://www.patreon.com/ChristineMalec

Listen as Mike and Tom discuss the 1990 sequel Young Guns II. They disagree as to the value of the movie... sort of, talk about the depth of actors who appear in it, ponder if Brushy Bill Roberts just might be Grandpa Simpson,  and meditate as to how this movie could have been a better viewing experience.

Grandpa Simpson finds and loses a new love. Tim and Andrew try to make sense of their lives.

It’s Strike Watch 2020. Eric and Joe break down the first few days of the Chicago Teachers Union strike and take some strike-breaking advice from Grandpa Simpson. (He had an onion tied to his belt, which was the style at the time.) LeBron James had a week to think of what to say about the NBA’s China/Hong Kong controversy. Maybe he should have taken more time so he didn’t completely embarrass himself by effectively running interference for the Chinese Community Party. Trump’s letter to the president of Turkey was incredible on its own, but does it get better when you hear it as read by Al Pacino? You decide. “Joker” is now one of the highest grossing “controversial” films of all time, according to Box Office Mojo. But the reasons they give for other films being controversial aren’t so much controversial as they are hilarious. And finally, a Panera employee loses her job for revealing how they make their mac and cheese. As long as it tastes good, who really cares?

In this mostly relaxing episode, you're going to hear a voice from a Dystopian future, and a voice from our not too distant past, both discussing how a world should run. I'm The Idealist who would like to find some way to make sure we all have the basics of human survival. It's not The Republican answer, or the Democratic, or Libertarian, or Socialist answer. It's the Idealist's answer. I don't think I can fix everything, but I have an idea, inspired by friends who disagree with me, that might help us. There's also a discussion of whether I am secretly Grandpa Simpson, and a misunderstanding of the Young Person term "Netflix and Chill."

Hello, my cubicle confusers, open space side trackers, corner office orientors, home den distractors, and coffee shop confounders. My name is Brock Armstrong, and I am here, deep inside your ears, planting seeds of inspiration, to make you into a Workplace Hero. After you listen to enough of these podcast, I hope to replace the voice of your conscience - “put down that donut and get back to work - when was the last time you got up from your desk - do you really need to be looking at Facebook right now - always take the stairs.” Is that creepy? Maybe a little… anyway… In her book, One Thousand Gifts: A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are, Ann Voskamp said that “Simplicity is ultimately a matter of focus.” and I agree. It’s when you can truly shut out the world and focus on a problem that the complexity and confusion often falls away. Let’s face it, everything demands our attention these days. It’s not just our family, friends and co-workers but also our phones, our email and our social media that all fight for our attention at any given moment. It can be downright overwhelming at times and makes it really challenging to get focussed and get a job done. Yeah, I know that every generation thinks the one immediately following it is doomed but the cost of these now ingrained distractions to our personal and professional life is well documented. Researchers at the University of California, Irvine found that it takes a typical office worker 25 minutes to return to the original task after an interruption, and an experiment by the authors of The Plateau Effect: Getting from Stuck to Success found that interruptions decreased work accuracy by a whopping 20%. So, I am not just Grandpa Simpson shaking my fist at a cloud or telling those kids to get off my lawn - being chronically distracted is an actual problem. Before I continue, let me interrupt you for a second… heh… I want encourage you to sign up for the Workplace Hero email newsletter over at workplacehero.me.

Over at becomingminimailst.com that have a list of 10 unconventional habits that will help you live life with less distractions: 1. Turn off smart phone notifications. Our smart phones have quickly become one of the greatest sources of distraction in our lives. The average person now checks their mobile phone a hard to believe, 150 times every day (just short of every 6 waking minutes). To limit their distractive nature, turn off all notifications (Email, Facebook, Twitter, Games, even messages, etc.) as your own default setting. As a result, you will be able to check your apps on YOUR schedule at your appointed times throughout the day, not just whenever Aunt Mabel hits reply all on the brunch chain email. 2. Read/Answer email only twice each day. Ok, maybe three times a day. When we keep our email client open all day, we surrender our attention to the most recent bidder rather than the most important. The sooner we realize this, the sooner we understand why the habit of checking email only twice/day is promoted over and over again by some of the most productive people in our world today (Michael Hyatt, Scott Belsky, Tim Ferriss). Schedule your email processing and stick to that schedule. You will feel the benefits immediately. 3. Complete 1-2 minute projects immediately. Our lives and minds are often cluttered and distracted by the many unfinished projects around us (unanswered email, household chores, financial responsibilities). Fortunately, many of these projects can be completed in far less time than we think. To live with less distraction, if a project can be completed in less than 2 minutes, just stop and get ‘er done so you won’t think about it anymore. 4. Remove physical clutter. Unnecessary clutter is a significant form of visual distraction. Consider this: everything in our eyesight subtly pulls at our attention at least a little. And the more we remove, the less visual stress and distraction we experience. Clear your desk, your walls, your counters, your computer’s desktop, and even your home of unneeded possessions. You’ll love your newfound ability to focus. 5. Clear visible, distracting digital clutter. Just like physical clutter distracts our attention, digital clutter accomplishes the same. Desktop icons, open programs, multiple browser tabs, and other visible notifications all jockey for attention in our mind. Notice the digital triggers that grab your attention and then ruthlessly remove them. Spare no one! 6. Accept and accentuate your personal rhythms. Discover the rhythms of your day to make the most of them. For example, I do my best heads-down work in the morning, afternoons work well for meetings and physical work, and evenings are set aside for my me time—leaving late evenings for entertainment, chilling, and yes guilt-free distraction. Accepting and understanding our natural rhythms to the day/week provides healthy motivation to remove distractions during our most productive parts of the day knowing there is opportunity later to indulge them 7. Establish a healthy morning routine. Henry Ward Beecher once said, “The first hour is the rudder of the day.” He was absolutely right. Go to workplacehero.me/hardstuff to hear my take on how you should start your day. Basically, begin your days on your terms apart from distraction. If possible, I suggest that you wake first in your household. Drink your coffee or fix yourself a warm breakfast while you journal or read or simply enjoy the silence. Develop a distraction-free morning routine. It will lay the foundation for a less-distracted day. 8. Cancel cable / Unplug television. If you haven’t already cut the cord, it is difficult to argue against the distracting nature of our television. Researchers tell us the average American watches 37-40 hours of television each week. There is, of course, a solution to this madness: unplug your television completely. Or at least do what I do, put the TV away (behind the couch) every morning. But if this step seems too drastic a stretch for your family, you’ll never regret the simple decision to cancel cable. Your calendar will thank you for the extra time available. Your wallet will thank you for the extra dollars. And you’ll quickly wonder why you didn’t do it sooner. 9. Keep a to-do list. One of the most helpful and practical podcasts I have ever released can be found at workplacehero.me/todo. No matter how hard you try to manage yourself, new responsibilities and opportunities will surface in your mind from internal and external sources. The opportunity to quickly write down the task allows it to be quickly discarded from your mind. I use the Notes app that comes installed on all my Apple devices for my To Do list so I can add to it anytime I want to. In bed, in a meeting, on a bus, anytime! That way I can get it out of my head and on to my list. 10. Care less what other people think. The value of your life is not measured by the number of likes your Facebook post receives or the number of positive comments on your Instagram pic. Please understand, there is great value in humbly seeking opinion and appreciating the wise counsel of those who love you. But there is no value in wasting mental energy over the negative criticism of those who only value their own self-interests. Learn to recognize the difference. And stop living distracted over the opinion of people who don’t matter. If you have been listening to this podcast for a while, you probably get the idea that I like lists. And you would not be wrong. Over at success.com, Emma Johnson has a list of 6 suggestions that she thinks will help you eliminate distractions. 1. Stop digital pressures. Carve out blocks of time—whether for work, exercise or people you care about—and turn off your phone and computer. Download the free app SelfControl, which shuts off especially distracting websites such as social media or news pages for a set period of time. 2. Give yourself frequent breaks. Just because you can work 24/7 doesn’t mean your mind or body are designed to do so. Check out the advice Guest Hero, Hailey Rowe gave us at workplacehero.me/lowenergy for more info on taking breaks. 3. Mind your physical health. Exercise, plenty of sleep, healthy eating (including good fat, yummy protein, and tons of veggies) plus all of those things you know you’re supposed to do promote mental health and focus can really help you cut down on your natural distractedness. Set some health goals for yourself and stick to them. We will tackle how to do that in a future episode. 4. Turn off smartphone notifications. I know, we already talked about this one but I feel like it is worth a second mention. Limit the number of times per day you check and respond to email, text messages and social media. Remove the temptation to constantly keep an eye on these pests but shutting off their ability to buzz, beep and vibrate at you. 5. Knock out the most dreaded duties first thing in the morning. If you have a difficult email you must send? Bills to manage? Need to initiate a difficult conversation? Get it off your to-do list and out of your mind, freeing you to be productive. 6. Eliminate or minimize negative people in your life. These are people who play the victim, are stuck in unhealthy habits, or generally make you feel drained or maybe even bad about yourself. Surround yourself with those who are positive, focused, productive and ambitious. Remember the late iconic speaker Jim Rohn’s rule: “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” Choose wisely. And over at LifeHack.org, Sylwia Rytarowska has a few more suggestions that I thought were worth mentioning. She suggests that you declutter your mind. Cacophony of voices, text messages, tweets, sales pitches, and bold headlines fight for your attention. You hear a song on the radio and you can’t hear your own voice over its continuous replay in your head. The first thing you should do is notice that you’re running on autopilot. The next natural step is to turn it off. It’s not easy to fight your default mechanism at first, it’s deeply rooted, but it’s a matter of practice and mindfulness. Start exercising your impulse-control. Focus on here and now. When you feel yourself getting distracted, take a second and ask yourself “what is my focus right now?” Writing that report will go much easier if you enter the state of flow. Think about the direct impact you’ll make, if you carry out the task efficiently and on time. Think about the satisfaction you’ll feel afterwards. This is the best reward and it will keep you on track for the future tasks as you gain the momentum. Focus is your natural gift. Use it well. Clear your day up front before you start it. In the morning, before your workday begins, dedicate a few minutes to managing your schedule. A great way to do it is by applying the Covey time management matrix - http://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-use-stephen-coveys-time-management-matrix-2015-12 . Have a moment to set your priorities and determine which tasks are truly vital and urgent that day, which are not so urgent but still very important and which you should avoid, either by delegating or eliminating altogether. This last type of tasks may be tricky because they will often be urgent, though uninspiring, issues, like questions from colleagues concerning their problems, phone calls and emails that you answer by default, only because you’ve always done it and that’s the way it’s always been. Well, it doesn’t have to be that way. Not really. Take control and make a conscious decision of what you’re going to when they come knocking. Once you’ve made it, hold on to it and ruthlessly follow through. Prepare your workplace. When you’re facing a lengthy or complex task involving concentration, prepare your place of work, so that you can avoid distractions and won’t need to make unnecessary breaks. Breaks aren’t bad in and of themselves. It’s the involuntary deconcentration accidental breaks that may cause a setback to your progress. Zen your computer. There are many cool ways to deal with distractions, such as social networking sites. There’s a great app called Anti-Social that blocks social media and lets you become more productive. It will block the sites that you waste your time on and can’t be turned off, which makes it an excellent help. There’s a great choice of apps that will track your computer use and tell you how much time you spend on individual sites. A few are: RescueTime, Klok, Slife and ManicTime. RescueTime, for instance, will give you a readout at the end of the day of your web activities. There are all kinds of apps to help you concentrate and remove unwanted temptations, and their use depends on the type of work you’re doing. If you do a lot of writing, there are the Mac-based WriteRoom and its Windows counterpart, Dark Room, which promise “distraction-free writing” by trimming your screen down to one function: Writing. There’s also the popular OmmWriter, which possesses a few cool features like meditative music and chromotherapy which create a unique environment to enable you to focus on your writing. A quick Google search will likely uncover anything you can think of. Solidify your attitude. To avoid possible distractions, manage your approach to the task. The “Act as if…” approach works nicely. It is simple: pretend you’re being watched and your task is approaching the deadline. It has been proven that our performance improves significantly if we know we’re being observed and assessed. In truth, we are evaluated all the time, either by people or by life itself. Close the door. Stephen King, the master of American Horror and a very diligent, prolific writer gives this advice in his book “On Writing.” If you can’t do that literally, do it figuratively. Tell everyone that you’re busy for a certain period of time and ask them not to disturb you. When I work from home, I have half-joked that I am going to buy a hat to wear that indicates that I am “not home” that I am actually “at work”. If you see me in that hat, you must pretend that I am not there. Kind of like an Elvin invisibility cloak but less nerdy and more absurdist. Manage the tasks. You’ve probably heard the saying that “you eat an elephant one bite at a time.” And yes, it does work.Take it one step at a time and don’t let fears and worries distract you from your work. You may also get a bit overwhelmed with small details. To get that problem out of your way, do the opposite: compile and put together a bunch of minor assignments and complete them all in a row. Now this next one I am going to include with some hesitation. Please take it on advisement. I rarely encourage anyone to work extra hours - even if they are getting paid for it. Ok? So here it is… Go an extra mile. As you’ve probably heard, there are no traffic jams on the extra mile. And literally, traffic is the number one time thief nowadays. If you arrive one hour early at the office and leave one hour later than everyone else, you’ll get much more done. Not only because you’ll avoid congested streets and lots of stress, but also the empty office won’t distract you from your productive efforts. Personally, I suggest merely shifting your day by an hour or so depending on whether you are a morning person or not. Start your day at 7 or 8:00 instead of 9:00 and then knock off at 3 or 4:00. That way you aren’t giving up any of your own precious time. Ok… I feel a little dirty after that one… so now, on to your homework! For the next 5 work days, before you go on to whatever you’re going to do next, think about what Einstein said: “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” If you just go on with your usual routine, default course of action and forget what you’ve heard here, the distractions win and you lose. So every morning this week, I want you to think about one thing you learned on this podcast that you can do right now or during the remainder of the day. Is it turning off a few more notifications on your phone or computer? Or is it putting headphones on (even if you aren’t listening to anything) to signal to coworkers that you aren’t available to listen what their dream was about last night? Or is it cleaning up your desk or workspace before you start your day? Or maybe you choose the two times of the day that you are going to check your email. Choose a different item each day and make that change. As Sylwia so eloquently said in the Lifehack.com article: “Your lifetime is made up of days, days of hours and hours of minutes. Although, a minute or ten doesn’t seem like much, the idea that you can waste a few minutes is the biggest, fattest lie you’ll ever tell yourself.” Let’s stop wasting time and make this week count. ** Workplace Hero is researched, written, narrated and recorded by me Brock Armstrong with editing help from Eleanor Cohen.
