We confront the pride and self-importance that can undermine church production teams, contrasting technical leaders who make others feel valued with those who seek recognition, titles, gear, or influence. We examine the grumpy church tech stereotype, insecurity, prayer, volunteer care, gossip, leadership by influence, and the temptation to build a public platform while neglecting local ministry. Along the way, we offer worship and technical arts leaders an honest framework for evaluating their priorities and team culture.

Ich lehne mich mal wieder aus dem Fenster und ärgere mich über die Kinder die viel zu Laut auf der Straße spielen. Im übertragenen Sinne passiert genau das leider viel zu oft wenn es um das Trail- und Ultralaufen geht. Dass der Sport boomt hat jeder mitbekommen. Aber wie geht man mit den vielen neuen Einflüssen um, die jetzt über “uns” hereinbrechen? Ablehnen und sagen, dass früher alles besser war? Scheint mir keine Lösung zu sein. Aber was dann?

The Montreal podcast that asks the folks behind the World’s Smallest Comedy Festival 4: Would you rather have $200 or $20 sunglasses? That question asked by Pat Guay back in episode 339. If you’re a listener of the Go Plug Yourself podcast you really should already be a fan of the World’s Smallest Comedy Night – and guess what? The fine folks behind the World’s Smallest Comedy Night are back for the 4th edition of the World’s Smallest Comedy Festival. Walter J. Lyng, Troy Stark and Dan Carin join me at the back of Grumpy’s to talk about Prince Edward Island, the storied career of Weird Al Yankovic, live streaming comedy at a candy factory and of course the 4th Edition of the World’s Smallest Comedy Festival which kicks off this Monday at Hurley’s Irish Pub in the heart of downtown Montreal.

The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour with Andy Riesmeyer Hour 1 (7.23) It’s day 4 of Andy Riesmeyer is filling in for Tim Conway Jr. tonight, and it’s day 3 of the D4vd murder hearing. The singer is accused of killing underage girl Celeste Rivas while allegedly having a sexual relationship with her. KTLA’s Rachel Menitoff calls in live from the courthouse with the latest from today’s testimony. Andy’s been up since 5 a.m. for his KTLA entertainment segment — he loves the makeup chair but still has to style his own pompadour. We check in on bald eagle Jackie, currently recovering after a gang of eagles jumped her, while her mate Shadow has been spotted with a young female that may have been part of the attack. Earlier on TV, Andy interviewed “Young Guns” star Lou Diamond Phillips ahead of the 40th anniversary of “La Bamba,” plus a chat with teenage Utah band Driff Wood.

Today's guest is someone who writes straight from the trenches of parenting young kids where big feelings, bedtime battles, and those wildly beautiful, messy moments of connection all collide. I'm Flora McCormick, licensed therapist and parenting coach, and I'm joined by author Julia Shaw, whose children's book The Grumpy Wumpus was born straight out of real-life bedtime battles, public blowups, and those painfully relatable moments when a sweet toddler seems to morph into someone else.Julia tells the story of her oldest flipping from easygoing to furious around the toddler years and how the standard emotional regulation advice didn't land. From that frustration came a playful, powerful idea: externalizing big emotions by naming them. “The Grumpy Wumpus” creates a little space between a child and their behavior, helping kids understand “I'm having big feelings” without absorbing “I am bad.” We also connect the dots to clinical concepts therapists use with adults and kids, including how stress chemistry can hijack the brain and why connection often works better than correction in the heat of the moment.We go deeper into the hard parts too, including Julia's experience with postpartum depression and waves of rage that made her realize why some coping strategies feel useless mid-storm. Our shared takeaway is simple and freeing: big feelings don't always need fixing. Sometimes the most sustainable move is to ride the wave, keep everyone safe, and trust that the peak will pass.If you want practical support for toddler tantrums, emotional outbursts, and the messy middle between overly gentle parenting and overly harsh discipline, press play.

It's another Primary Day morrow, and Greg Dworkin brings the takeaways, today from Colorado. Phil Weiser beats stalwart Michael Bennet in the gubernatorial. 29-year-old Democratic socialist Melat Kiros has the Mamdanimentum over old-timer Diana DeGette. Young Democratic Socialist Maurice Brown also has the "Mo". Grumpy old Dems become grumpier. There's more to come. Control of the Senate is up for grabs, but the RNC has control of the $100 million. Sherrod Brown is no young socialist, but he knows Ohio. The Donald K. Trump Supreme Court almost killed birthright citizenship. Gops who hope to murder the Constitution for good, ironically hope that a Constitutional amendment will do it, but first plan to torture it a while. A few Trump losses did slip through, for the moment. E. Jean Carroll isn't waiting around. DOGE installed visitor-tracking software on vital federal websites. Meanwhile, Trump wants a master list of spies, but spies don't want to give Trump the list. If Donald wants it, he can come and get it.

The guys got a chance to sit down with authors Bruce & Carson Summers. Both of them are writers for the Legends of Greyhawk. An organized play campaign that is run at conventions that continues stories in the Dungeons & Dragons greyhawk setting.

Who greeted you every morning when you arrived at school as a child? For me, and for thousands of students who attended Memphis Hebrew Academy, that person was Mrs. Finkelstein. She smiled. She helped. She made people feel comfortable. Year after year, she was a warm and reassuring presence in the lives of generations of children. After her recent passing, I heard a story that surprised me. As a child, Mrs. Finkelstein was known by a very different nickname: "Grumpy." At some point she decided that was not the person she wanted to be. She chose to change herself - and she did. Most of us think of personality as something fixed. Mrs. Finkelstein's life suggests otherwise. Her story reminds us that while we cannot change everything about ourselves, we can change more than we think. And sometimes the person we become touches thousands of lives.

According to USA Today, the word “hangry” entered the Oxford English Dictionary in 2018. It's a portmanteau term which combines the words “hungry” and “angry”. While it might sound a little silly or light-hearted, there's evidence to suggest that getting grumpy is a pretty common reaction to feeling hungry.  The scientific reasons aren't completely clear. But it kind of makes sense when you consider that the hypothalamus in the brain not only regulates feelings of hunger and fullness, but is also responsible for regulating mood. Getting grumpy when hungry is also a survival reflex to some extent. After all, our ancestors were hunter-gatherers, so being hungry was literally a threat to their lives. What exactly happens in our bodies when we're hungry ? Could that be due to hypoglycemia ? What can I do to avoid getting in a bad mood if I can't eat ? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

Every sailor has a vision for how a voyage is supposed to begin. Mine involved launching in Indiantown, pointing the bow toward the Bahamas, and slipping into warm trade winds and turquoise water. Instead, 2026 had other ideas. In this episode of Sailing in the Mediterranean and Beyond, I tell the story of the first leg of this year's sailing adventure — a trip defined less by tropical anchorages and more by stubborn weather forecasts, cold nights, and constant recalculating. After launching the boat in Indiantown, I waited for a weather window that never really arrived. Rather than bash east into uncomfortable conditions, I made the difficult decision to abandon the Bahamas plan entirely and head north up the Intracoastal Waterway instead. What followed was a voyage full of the kinds of moments every cruiser knows well: Grumpy lock keepers who seemed personally offended that we existed Barnacles multiplying underneath the boat and slowing us down Long cold passages where “Florida” felt a lot more like winter than paradise The challenge of adapting plans when nature simply refuses to cooperate Eventually, I brought the boat to Cape Marina at Cape Canaveral, where I tucked her away for two months before returning later with my family to continue the trip north toward St. Augustine. This episode is about flexibility, frustration, and the reality that cruising rarely looks like the glossy version we imagine beforehand. Sometimes the adventure is not the one you planned — but the one you end up with anyway. If you've ever had to scrap the “perfect plan” and make the best of changing conditions, this story will probably feel very familiar. Also, for those who have followed this journey over the years, I mention in the episode that I have officially put the boat up for sale. She is currently located at Belle Isle Marina in Hampton, Virginia.

A new study just confirmed what most people in their 40s already feel but rarely say out loud: running out of money is scarier than death. Gen X is leading that number at 73% -- and the reasons why make a lot of sense when you look at what that generation is actually navigating. No pensions. Rising costs. Longer retirements. Markets that never seem to settle. Joe, OG, and Len Penzo dig into the data, the psychology, and the practical steps that actually move the needle.What You'll Walk Away WithWhy Gen X is more worried about retirement than either baby boomers or millennials -- and the pension gap that explains most of itThe Social Security stress test OG recommends for every retirement plan -- and why neither he nor Len think it's going awayWhy checking your portfolio every time the market drops is one of the most expensive habits a long-term investor can haveThe automation argument that cuts through the discipline myth -- and why your systems matter far more than your willpowerWhy the debt normalization shift that happened sometime in the late 1970s is still costing people their retirement todayThe three-layer retirement income framework OG and Anna walk through -- Social Security, pensions and annuities, and investment withdrawals -- and how to find your gap numberThe 4% rule explained in plain math -- including the inflation adjustment most people skip and why it matters enormouslyWhat sequence of return risk actually means in practice -- and the floor strategy that keeps you from panic-selling at exactly the wrong momentWhy running out of money in retirement is mostly a planning problem, not a math problem -- and what that distinction changesThe ongoing battle to name OG and Anna's financial basics segment -- and why "The Financial Dwarves with Happy and Grumpy" didn't make the cutWhy This Matters NowIf you're in your 40s and that 67% statistic landed somewhere uncomfortable, you're not behind -- you're paying attention. The gap between fear and a plan is smaller than most people think, and this episode maps it out in terms you can actually act on this week. The math is real, the tools exist, and the biggest obstacle for most people isn't knowledge. It's starting.From the BasementJoe, OG, and Len Penzo dig into a sobering Investment News study on retirement fears before OG and Anna kick off season two of their financial basics series with a full retirement income planning walkthrough -- complete with a guidebook you can download and follow along. Doug arrives with Festivus trivia that everyone over 40 finds insultingly easy. The segment naming debate continues with no resolution in sight, though The Study and The Financial Dwarves with Happy and Grumpy both made spirited cases.Resources MentionedLen Penzo -- lenpenzo.com; book: True Money Stories on AmazonJP Morgan Guide to the Markets -- search "JP Morgan Guide to the Markets" for monthly market dataSSA.gov -- Social Security earnings history and benefit projectionsStacking Benjamins Basics Guide -- season one and season two workbooks free at stackingbenjamins.com/basicsguideStacking Benjamins Vault -- stackingbenjamins.com/vaultStacking Benjamins Community -- stackingbenjamins.com/basementFULL SHOW NOTES: https://stackingbenjamins.com/Why-Americans-Fear-Running-Out-of-Money-in-Retirement-More-Than-Dying-1840Deeper dives with curated links, topics, and discussions are in our newsletter, The 201, available at https://www.stackingbenjamins.com/201See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

For one final time, Andy joins Brendan from The Shed(!) for this Sunday recording as they look back on the formative years of this podcast. It's often said that the more things change, the more they stay the same, so it's nice that Cameron Young's dominant 2026 season remains in progress despite Andy leaving The Shed behind. Mr. 1,000 blitzed the field at the inaugural Cadillac Championship, defeating World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler by six in the end. This event was practically over on Friday afternoon and Cameron secured his third PGA Tour victory despite calling a penalty on himself for his ball moving at address on a day with Preferred Lies. Brendan found the whole week at Trump Doral sleepy and wonders if there's anything the PGA Tour can do to make events between majors truly stand out. The two discuss which PGA Tour events matter on their own and nearly all occur before the Masters. Andy gives major props to Cameron Young for his continued evolution into a top three player in the world and there's a debate whether the foursome of Young, Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, and Matt Fitzpatrick have separated themselves from the rest of the world. In other Doral news, Adam Scott looks likely to qualify for his 100th straight major, Justin Rose's McLaren irons didn't make it out of the garage, and Alex Fitzpatrick secured a top ten finish without his brother! Brendan and Andy then run through results from the rest of the world, including a back-to-back runaway win for Nelly Korda, a famous Michael winning on the DP World Tour, and a SECOND major championship win this year for now-Ryder Cup Vice Captain Stewart Cink. Lastly, Brendan wraps up this show with some... enthusiasm for a Game 7 performance from James Harden! Visit BDraddy.com and use promo code SGS30 for 30% off your 2026 Presidents Cup gear!

Welcome to Grumpy Old Geeks, where we're starting to notice a patience epidemic! As people get used to barking orders at their AI, they're starting to talk to other humans with the same terse impatience. We discuss the enshittification of social media like Threads, which are now completely overrun with AI-generated slop.This week, we dive into the corporate shenanigans of the tech world. OpenAI was caught secretly funding an advocacy group to push for age verification laws that just so happen to benefit Sam Altman's other company. We also cover Elon Musk's troubles, including all of xAI's co-founders quitting, a SpaceX satellite exploding, and Tesla's "fully autonomous" robotaxis being revealed to have remote human drivers.Plus, we celebrate NASA's successful Artemis II launch, review a fantastic Premiere Pro plugin for multicam editing, and give our thoughts on shows like "The Pit" and "Downton Abbey."Sponsors:SquareSpace - go to squarespace.com/GRUMPY for a free trial.

Meta fined $375M for child safety failures. Musk lost 3 lawsuits in a week. Sam Altman compared to a Nazi. Netflix raised prices again. The Pentagon can't quit Claude. Reddit wants your face scan. Star Trek's streaming era is over. But the thin black line holds!

13 years of podcasting has taught us nothing; companies are lying about AI layoffs while Meta destroys itself from the inside; Andreessen has zero introspection and it shows; Dune 3 looks incredible; Firefly lives again; one idiot executive staked Buffy; Adobe paid $75M for being evil; your AI passwords are garbage; Dave Bittner is here to make you feel worse about all of it.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.SquareSpace - go to squarespace.com/GRUMPY for a free trial.

Starting off in FOLLOW UP, we've got a tax economist who actually made money betting against the "efficiency" of Elon's budget-slashing fever dreams, while Tesla is busy trying to dodge a $243 million jury verdict for an Autopilot-assisted fatality. Not content with being legally liable, Tesla is also suing the California DMV because they're offended someone called their "Autopilot" and "Full Self-Driving" marketing deceptive—ironic, since Jack Dorsey just "proactively" halved the staff at Block to make room for more AI slop. Speaking of which, Goldman Sachs is here to remind us that all this AI spending added a grand total of zero to the US GDP last year, mostly because we're just exporting all that cash to overseas chip makers while 80% of execs admit the tech hasn't actually done anything for productivity yet.Moving into IN THE NEWS, Sam Altman had the audacity to compare ChatGPT's energy-sucking habits to the 20-year evolution of a human, though the internet wasn't exactly buying the "my bot is just like a baby" defense. Anthropic actually stood its ground against the Pentagon's demand for killer robots and mass surveillance, so naturally, the military just signed a deal to put Elon's Grok in their classified systems instead—because what could go wrong with an "edgy" LLM in the war room? Meanwhile, cities are dumping AI surveillance contracts as citizens start a literal "smash-the-snitch-box" campaign against Flock's license plate readers, Google's AI is busy inserting racial slurs into news alerts, and the White House is apparently harboring a staffer moonlighting as a racist "masterpiece" creator on X. We've also got Reddit being slapped with a $20 million fine in the UK for being lazy with age checks, while Discord and Apple scramble to build verification tools that hopefully won't leak your entire identity to a hacker in Belarus.In MEDIA CANDY, the Paramount-Skydance merger is leaving the industry in a cold sweat of "synergy" layoffs, but at least we're getting more Game of Thrones spinoffs and Star Trek reboots to rot our brains. Face/Off 2 lost its director, Ryan Coogler is taking on The X-Files, and Google wants to use AI to turn music into generic "lo-fi" background noise for the masses.Over in APPS & DOODADS, OpenAI is planning a 2027 smart speaker that literally watches you through a camera—because you definitely wanted a $300 Sam Altman-shaped eye in your kitchen—while the Dark Sky creators are back with "Acme Weather" for the low price of $25 a year.We wrap up THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE with a deep dive into "Under Pressure" and Coruscant's urban sprawl, leaving us to reminisce about the days when KPT Bryce was the pinnacle of tech—back when "generative art" was just a fractal that took six hours to render.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.SquareSpace - go to squarespace.com/GRUMPY for a free trial.

If you thought the internet was a dumpster fire before, the EU LAUNCHES SECOND INVESTIGATION INTO GROK because Musk's bot won't stop generating nonconsensual imagery. Meanwhile, META LARGELY FAILS TO PROTECT KIDS FROM AI CHATBOTS, proving that their internal safety checks are about as effective as a screen door on a submarine. If that doesn't creep you out, AFTER RING PRIVACY BACKLASH over police partnerships, a LEAKED EMAIL SUGGESTS RING PLANS TO EXPAND ‘SEARCH PARTY' from finding lost dogs to total neighborhood surveillance. Of course, REDDIT, META, AND GOOGLE VOLUNTARILY GAVE DHS INFO on users critical of ICE, because why stand up for privacy when you can just comply?In the news, we look at OPENCLAW, OPENAI AND THE FUTURE as the project's founder joins the Borg, even though META AND OTHER TECH FIRMS PUT RESTRICTIONS ON USE OF OPENCLAW because it's basically a security hole that can click your mouse for you. Peak stupidity has arrived with RFK JR'S NEW CHATBOT giving rectal dietary advice, while AI COMPANIES BOUGHT OUT ALL OF WESTERN DIGITAL'S HARD DRIVES through 2026, meaning you can't have storage because the bots need it more. Even VALVE ADMITS STEAM DECK AVAILABILITY IS AFFECTED by this memory hoarding. We also touch on STEVE BANNON SUED OVER MAGA CRYPTO SCHEME, LOS ANGELES COUNTY FILES LAWSUIT AGAINST ROBLOX for being a safety nightmare, and the fact that TESLA ROBOTAXIS REPORTEDLY CRASHING at four times the human rate. TESLA DODGES 30-DAY SUSPENSION by simply killing the word "Autopilot," while NEW YORK HITS THE BRAKES ON ROBOTAXI EXPANSION to keep the chaos at bay. Finally, POLYMARKET WITHDRAWS EXPLOSIVE ARTEMIS BETTING MARKET because betting on dead astronauts is too much even for them, leading the ETHEREUM CREATOR STARTING TO THINK THIS WHOLE PREDICTION MARKET THING MIGHT BE GAMBLING. As NEVADA SUES KALSHI and Jack Dorsey oversees INSIDE THE ROLLING LAYOFFS AT JACK DORSEY'S BLOCK—using AI to summarize the misery of his employees—just remember: YOU'LL BE SORRY WHEN YOU HEAR WHAT JUSTIN BIEBER'S $1.3 MILLION BORED APE IS WORTH NOW. Hint: it's twelve grand.In this week's MEDIA CANDY, we've got FREE BERT, KAT WILLIAMS: THE LAST REPORT, and the eternal return of SHREK. We're checking out MARK ROBER on Netflix, the return of MONARCH: LEGACY OF MONSTERS, and the trailer for GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON'T DIE. If you need a soundtrack for the apocalypse, Thomas Benjamin Wild Esq has you covered with STOP USING GENERATIVE A.I and the Gen-X anthem I'VE NO MORE F*S TO GIVE!.Moving to APPS & DOODADS, OBSIDIAN TO NOTES is a $14 well spent, unlike CURSOR and VISUAL STUDIO CODE which are getting bogged down by slow models. APPLE'S AI PENDANT sounds like a watered-down Humane pin that relies on your phone to think, and APPLE PODCASTS AND VIDEO remains a pipe dream because bandwidth costs money. We've reached the point where THERE'S A GRIM NEW EXPRESSION: “AI;DR” for things not worth reading, and THERE'S A NEW TERM FOR WORKERS FREAKING OUT over being replaced—AIRD, or AI Replacement Dysfunction—which is basically the low-grade panic of being made obsolete by a machine that thinks bananas go in your bum.AT THE LIBRARY, we're thumbing through CLEAVE THE SPARROW, THE REGICIDE REPORT by Charles Stross, and Robin Ince being NORMALLY WEIRD AND WEIRDLY NORMAL.Then we descend into THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE, where the Muppets are taking over with THE MUPPET SHOW and MUPPETS NOW. We catch the latest on THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU and TOY STORY 5, while tracking the PENTAGON PIZZA INDEX to see if war is breaking out. For the kids, we look at a 3D PRINTER / ENTRY LEVEL FOR KIDS like the Bambu Lab A1, and for the nerds, A STAR WARS-CENTRIC RSS FEED and a NEAT IDEA FOR AN RSS READER, “CURRENT,” which lets news drift away like water under a bridge. We wrap it all up with some HORROR IN UNDER TWO MINUTES and IMPECCABLE COVERS OF 80S SYNTH MUSIC, because at least the 80s had better soundtracks than this AI-generated nightmare.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.SquareSpace - go to squarespace.com/GRUMPY for a free trial.
