Snowstorm delirium, travel exhaustion, and total studio chaos set the stage for a wild Cinco de Luncho as the crew debates the five greatest American sports victories of all time. From a dramatic overtime Olympic hockey triumph that ended a decades-long drought, to the unstoppable dominance of the 1992 Dream Team, to iconic moments that transcended sports entirely, the list sparks instant arguments. Did Hulk Hogan's title win count as a true sports moment? Where does the 1999 Women's World Cup rank in American history? And why the Miracle on Ice still stands alone as the ultimate underdog victory with global stakes. But the segment completely derails when a post-bar Venmo mishap becomes the real controversy. An overzealous attempt to cover the bill turns into a heated debate about tipping, snowstorm etiquette, and whether anyone should actually send money back. A classic Cinco packed with nostalgia, patriotic pride, sports history arguments, and laugh-out-loud dysfunction that only this crew can deliver.

The Founding Fathers would have been very pleased with some of the politics of modern America, but on the other hand, very displeased with others. Benjamin Franklin, in particular, would not favor the growth of government — but at the same time, he would appreciate some of the globalism that has advanced the economies of the world. Mark Skousen is an eighth-generation descendant of Franklin and has penned the book, "The Greatest American," aimed at showing why this founder-slash-inventor-slash-diplomat was truly so genius.

As a direct descendant of Benjamin Franklin, the Chapman University economist Mark Skousen might be a bit biased. That said, Skousen makes an entertaining case in his new book, The Greatest American, for Franklin as being the most innovative and versatile of the Founding Fathers. Skousen acknowledges Franklin's contradictions: his transition from slave owner to abolitionist, his notoriety as a ladies' man and, above all, his moral philosophy of deploying his private wealth for the public good. What we are left with is the most human and least overtly political of all the Founding Fathers. Five Key Takeaways * Versatile Genius: Franklin excelled in numerous fields, with Skousen identifying 22 different careers including printing, science, diplomacy, and civic leadership, making him uniquely accomplished among American historical figures.* Ethical Capitalism: Franklin represents an ideal capitalist model who made his fortune by age 42, then dedicated the rest of his life to public service, establishing libraries, hospitals, and other civic institutions.* Personal Evolution: Franklin demonstrated willingness to change his views, most notably transitioning from slave owner to becoming the first president of Pennsylvania's abolitionist society.* Political Pragmatism: Franklin defied easy political categorization, valuing practical solutions over ideology and warning against concentrated power with his famous quote: "a republic, if you can keep it."* Complex Character: Despite his accomplishments, Franklin had notable flaws, including nepotism and his reputation as a "ladies' man," creating a complicated legacy that transcends simple hero worship.Mark Skousen holds the Doti-Spogli Chair of Free Enterprise at Chapman University in California. As an eighth-generation direct descendant of Benjamin Franklin, he has had a lifelong interest in the “grandfather” of our nation. Dr. Skousen's career has often followed that of his illustrious ancestor, as a publisher, author, financial advisor, teacher, father, public servant, and world traveler. In 2006, he and his wife, Jo Ann, compiled and edited The Compleated Autobiography by Benjamin Franklin, covering the remainder of his career, 1757–1790 (published by Regnery History).Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting the daily KEEN ON show, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy interview series. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE.

The discussion began with what makes Western art distinctive and what captured Alex's imagination. Michael then explored Alex's approach to curating art exhibitions and discussed the influences of Alex's father, celebrated poet Howard Nemerov, and his aunt, iconic pioneer photographer Diane Arbus. This led to a discussion of Susan Sontag's book on photography and photography's status as fine art. The conversation then broadened to explore various themes: women artists, Jasper Johns, the universal and spiritual elements in art, solipsism, art for the marketplace versus art for art's sake, and socially purposeful versus aesthetic art. Alex shared both personal and professional perspectives on art's power—from its inward transformative and transfiguring effects to its broader meaning and potential as a world-changing agent. The interview concluded with a discussion of kindness, and Alex revealed what he considers the greatest work in American art.

In this episode of Do Beautiful Things, Jenny Lawson is joined by Kathleen Gibi of Keep the Tennessee River Beautiful and Michael McCall from the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). Together, they discuss the power of collaboration in building sustainable, healthy communities, the importance of preserving America's river systems, and their commitment to the Greatest American Cleanup—the largest cleanup and beautification effort in history. Tune in to learn how collaboration and volunteer engagement are making a meaningful impact on our environment and communities.QUOTES:Creating Sustainable Impact through Partnerships: "We should be following a model where we can engage others and partner with others to do this, because I think that is the only real way that you can actually get sustainable impact is if you get other people involved through partnerships to get out and do action." - Michael McCall, VP of Environment and Sustainability, and Chief Sustainability Officer at the Tennessee Valley Authority The Importance of River Cleanup: "80% of the plastic in our oceans is said to come from rivers. Cleaning up the ocean in a lot of ways without cleaning up the rivers is much like...cleaning up blood on the floor without stopping the bleeding on the patient on the table. So that's why the work we get to do with our partners and volunteers is so crucial." - Kathleen Gibi, Executive Director of Keep the Tennessee River Beautiful Show Notes: 00:00 Greatest American Cleanup beautifying 25,000 communities. 06:13 TVA: Unique regional energy-water economic integration. 08:52 TVA supports Tennessee River cleanup since 2018. 13:02 Engage others through partnerships for sustainable impact. 13:56 Campaign fosters pride, action, and shared values. 19:44 Consistent focus needed to preserve Tennessee River. 22:31 TVA concerned about storm, river system effective. 24:07 Clearing red tape for quicker community recovery. 27:38 Local affiliates tirelessly support community environmental efforts. 30:53 Get involved with kab.org and support.
