Matt sat down with disability advocate, educator, public speaker and podcaster Jahmeelah Gamble. If you like going down rabbit holes, this is the episode for you. We chatted about balancing conflicting cultural expectations in an educational context, accidently landing a TV show for 6 seasons and the ways Jahmeelah has endeavored to be a humanist rather than a knight in shining armor. Matt shares a little confession, while Jahm talks about her brand. Spoiler: it’s intersectional-reflexive applied empathetic-humanism! Matt also gets Jahm to explain how and why she became such a strong education advocate and how advocacy extends well beyond the classroom to permeate all aspects of life. As a public speaker, Jahmeelah shies away from intentionally trying to inspire while being mindful of the power in setting an example. Wrapping up the conversation, Matt explores how Jahm’s faith intersects with her speaking and advocacy. Jahm gives us an impassioned description of the struggles facing educational aid workers in Canada. Jahmeelah’s message of empowerment and positivity is downright infectious, so be sure to check out the Slay the Mic Podcast.

Once again I do not have the Epic Film Guys on the show and it's totally my fault this time. My brain is all over the place this week. From Livestream For The Cure, to wanting to get into podcast editing and voiceover work, to home plumbing issues. It's been a busy week. I've got an SMF news break from Mike Jolitz, beer that's not beer, a pizza festival without pizza, a family dog that's not a dog and more. For Recommended Listening I'm talking more about the Livestream For The Cure and the Hello Cancer WTF campaign for Perry Johnson and how you can help. -BS From The News- -New "Beer" Is Zero Calorie, Zero Alcohol, and Completely ClearAll Free All Time is a new "beer" that is zero calorie, zero alcohol, and completely clear. It's being marketed to those who enjoy the taste of beer but don't want any of the negative stigma associated with it. -All You Can Eat Pizza Festival Runs Short Of PizzaAfter an oven broke at an all you ca eat pizza festival, organizers left guests waiting for up to an hour to get a single slice. Even when they did get anything, guests were left very disappointed. -Court Bans Woman from Singing in Her HomeAfter neighbors repeatedly complained about her singing and loud music, a UK woman was issued a 2 year restraining order against making excessive noise that would aggravate her neighbors. When she failed to follow the court orders, they issued a warrant for her arrest. -Man Allegedly Changed Address Of UPS Headquarters To His ApartmentA Chicago man is facing charges of theft and mail fraud after he used a standard post office change of address form to forward the mail from UPS headquarters to his apartment. He then proceeded to cash multiple checks intended for the shipping service. -Jackass Of The Week- -After 2 Years, Family Realizes Pet Dog Is a BearA Family in China recently discovered that their 2 year old "puppy" was actually an Asiatic black bear. They originally believed it was a Tibetan Mastiff, but after the "dog" reached over 250 lbs and started walking on 2 legs, they knew it was something else. -Recommended Listening- Livestream For The Curehttp://livestreamforthecure.com/ Hello Cancer WTFhttps://www.gofundme.com/hello-cancer-wtfRecently, good friend and fellow podcaster, Perry Johnson from Hello Life WTF and The Pod Stuff was diagnosed with an inoperable form of stomach cancer, which has spread to his liver and the lymph nodes in his throat. They have chosen to fight this cancer to the end and he has begun preparations for chemotherapy. This recent development only adds to the strain on this family. As the sole financial support in his family, Perry’s inability to work through treatment makes things that much more difficult.

I’ve been in kind of a funk lately. Leading up to the Livestream For The Cure, a number of my friends, some of them involved in the event, have been slapped by the evil bastard that is cancer. So I talk about that for a bit. Short show this time around. I originally didn’t intend to release this episode but changed my mind. Not a lot of laughs. To lighten things up I continue with my coverage of LFTC guest with this week’s featured podcast, Who Spiked The Puns?http://odddadoutpodcast.com/odo-104Matt and Becky Heyman’s Cancer Catch-up:https://www.gofundme.com/matt-beckys-cancer-catchupMatt Heyman from PreRecorded Live, has now been struck for the third time with cancer in under 10 years. After multiple surgeries and chemotherapy, his life has forever been upended. He and his wife Becky have not even begun to dig themselves out from the mountain of debt from the last fight when it showed up for the third time.They can use all the help you can offer.Hello Cancer WTF- For Perry Johnsonhttps://www.gofundme.com/hello-cancer-wtf?member=137450Perry-Lindsay Johnson from Hello Life WTF and The PodStuff was recently diagnosed with an inoperable form of esophageal and stomach cancer.

I'm continuing my series featuring the guests of the Sunshine Summit 2018 with Chris from "The Podcasting Couch," and Lindsay and Perry Johnson of "Hello Life WTF" and "The Pod Stuff." Somehow the news all came up death and sex. Whether it's fake death, real death, sexy stuff after death... I don't make the theme, it just happens that way. Going with that theme, I share my feelings about "sexy shower time" and how it's nothing like it looks in movies. -WEIRD NEWS- Drug Suspect On Nearly 40 Day "Poop Strike" May DieA man suspected of eating a large amount of heroin and crack cocaine has gone nearly 40 days (at the time of posting) without defecating. Police have had him under 24 hour observation waiting for him to pass the supposed drugs as evidence. Some doctors have said that the experience may actually kill him if he doesn't poop soon. Man Pretends To Be Sick To Get A Ride To The HospitalA man in Manchester, England called an ambulance claiming to have reduced sensation in his legs and needing to go to the hospital. When he arrived he admitted that he lied about being sick and just wanted a lift to visit his friend who was a patient there.Russian Parents Fake Their Own Death To Catch Son Who Tried To Hire HitmanWith a striking sense of similarity to a previous story, a couple in Russia faked their own deaths to assist investigators in arresting their 22 year old son who had tried to have them killed. They posed for deathYou-tuber Who Claimed Veganism and Faith Cured Cancer, Dies of CancerA woman who ran a YouTube channel about how she managed to cure her stage-4 breast cancer through prayer and diet, died from her cancer. She claimed that God told her that a vegan and juicing diet would cure her cancer. After she realized her cancer had not gone but spread, she asked her niece to take the videos down, but her niece claimed that her cancer came back because she stopped following God's directions. China Cracks Down On Funeral StrippersApparently in China, it's kind of a thing to have strippers at funerals. The idea is that having strippers will get more people to attend the funeral. Authorities have been trying to crack down on this activity for years. -JACKASS OF THE WEEK- Indian State Offers Free Breast Augmentation To The PoorAn Indian state, known for it's "generosity" has begun a program to provide free cosmetic breast surgery to the poor. They claim that women with large breasts may feel too uncomfortable to go outside for fear of ridicule. They also say that small chested women may feel too uncomfortable to go outside for fear of ridicule. Their solution is to provide free boob jobs to those who cannot afford it so that they will be more confident productive members of society. -RECOMMENDED LISTENING-Sunshine Summit 2018The Podcasting Couchhttp://thepodcastingcouch.com"Sit down with host Chris Carlson as he interviews podcasters, musicians, and other general content creators and get to know their stories, background, inspirations, and whatever else may happen to come up in the conversation!"Hello Life WTFhttp://www.hellolifewtf.com/ "Join Perry and Lindsay Johnson for a fun look at #parenting #relationships #marriage #death #health and all the #WTF that comes with it.

While Matt & Phil yearn for longer summers their special guests would like some of the soft, fluffy, sticky, cold, frozen, lifeless substance we sometimes call snow. To be honest, most of the time we call it (insert expletive of choice). Enough about weather. Lindsay & Perry Johnson, co-hosts of the Hello Life WTF podcast, join us to talk about empathy and communication in relationships, disney movies, video games, baseball, squeaky chairs, and what drives them as a couple to podcast. Lindsay & Perry offer their top recommendations for new parents. Be warned: some of the advice ain't easy to follow. We laughed, we cried, we had a great time. This episode also has a big reveal...real big...HUGE...AMAZING...THE BEST, EVER!!
