Are you as fascinated as I am with the intersection of faith and influence(rs)? In this episode of Culture Changers, I sit down with debut novelist Alli Hoff Kosik, author of the buzzworthy Too Blessed to Stress, for a way deeper conversation that I thought. We are talking Christian megachurches, influencer culture, and the razor-thin line between faith and performance. If you're fascinated (or horrified) by fundamentalist Christianity, religious trauma, sought-after belonging, social media collectives, or how women shape culture from the back pew and the algorithm, let me tell you, this episode is for you. We dig into Allie's process researching evangelical culture, what it's like growing up on the religious outside, and how she crafted four female protagonists who are as complex, messy, and relatable as your own group chat. Plus, we get real about performative faith, power dynamics for women in church, and why changing your mind in public can cost you everything. Whether you're a church kid, a proud skeptic, or just obsessed with pop culture, this is a smart, bold, and oddly comforting conversation about spirituality, social identity, and what true community really looks like. You'll walk away with big questions, fresh empathy, and a new favorite novel to bring to your book club. We talk about: The search for authentic belonging and community Navigating performative faith versus genuine spirituality Social media's impact on religious identity Female ambition and empowerment within church culture Secrets, public personas, and the influencer economy Empathy for differing worldviews and experiences The complexities of institutional religion today Timestamps: 00:00 Too Blessed to Stress 05:42 TLC, Religion, and Influence 08:49 Religious Celebrations and Longing 13:34 Secrets, Faith, and Influencer Struggles 16:52 Trishy: Faith, Friendship, Content 19:37 Faith, Scandal, and Self-Discovery 21:51 Researching Influencers and Communities 26:23 Culture, Media, and Human Context 33:01 The Cost of Public Beliefs 37:41 Belonging, Perception, and Empowerment 43:03 Rethinking Community and Belonging —--------------------------------------------------------- To Connect With Alli: Get Alli's Book: https://allihoffkosik.com/too-blessed-to-stress Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/allihoffkosik Website: https://allihoffkosik.com/ To Connect With Me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/allison__hare LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/allisonhare/ Website: https://allisonhare.com Book a free podcast clarity call with Allison:  https://allisonhare.com/freecall Be sure to rate, review, and follow this podcast on your player and also, connect with me IRL for more goodness and life-changing stuff.Schedule a FREE podcast clarity call with me - Your future audience is out there.

As we dive into more of who made it and who missed the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, we learn that Hoff dropped the ball with Ralph Macchio!

KAT goes five for five from the field; Why did he only shoot five shots? Maybe ask Jalen Brunson. Or maybe ask Mike Brown! Troy Vincent opens up about some calls in games that would have changed the outcome of the playoffs. Thanks for telling us after the fact Troy! Kat was 5-5 from the floor and no other Knicks scored more than six baskets in the game. How could such a great team play so bad? Carton cracks the code.

C-Lo returns and Brian Daboll met the media and was asked about self reflection. BT & Sal took some shots at his old producer, Pete Hoffman. The Moment of The Day: Chris Russo wonders why it's inappropriate to have a relationship with his sister-in-law.

Families with disabled students often face extra out-of-pocket costs—costs they wouldn't have if their child weren't disabled—to secure the same education other students receive for free, yet tax relief for those expenses is limited and unclear. Garret Hoff, J.D., argues that Internal Revenue Code Section 213 and its interpretations reflect a time when disabled people were not viewed as worth public money to educate, leaving families with arbitrary distinctions under the medical expense deduction. Hoff recommends the IRS revise Treasury Regulation 1.213-1(e)(1)(v)(a) to recognize a broader reading of Section 213, and he urges Congress to amend Section 529A, created by the ABLE Act, to lift contribution limits and make contributions tax deductible so families can fund qualified disability expenses through ABLE accounts. Hoff adds that lasting access and justice require cultural change, not only tax revisions.

Today, we explore the emotional and practical complexities of transitioning to assisted living. Stephanie Hoff talks to Mike Pochowski, president and CEO of the Wisconsin Assisted Living Association. He emphasizes the importance of balancing personal independence with safety. He shares with Hoff a roadmap for families, including how to navigate difficult conversations and where to find financial resources. Community support and proactive planning ensure a high quality of life for seniors in both urban and rural settings. A little snow overnight shouldn't cause any travel disruptions today. It stays cold according to Stu Muck, but temps could improve by the weekend. Approximately 27% of Wisconsin farmers rely on the Affordable Care Act (ACA) for health insurance. Without credits, the cap on premiums (previously 8.5% of income) has vanished, forcing tough choices between health and farm survival. Ben Nelson, executive director of Cooperative Network, explains how challenging it is to try and find coverage for farm families today. The Cooperative Network is exploring reopening the Farmers Health Cooperative of Wisconsin to provide independent, comprehensive coverage. John Heinberg, market advisor with Total Farm Marketing in West Bend will be one of the featured speakers this morning at the annual UW Ag Outlook Forum. This morning he tells Pam Jahnke that dairy has seen some robust trading over the past few days. Question is will it last. Weather's also impacted some trading, especially dairy and wheat short-term.

Hoff opens the show by breaking down what David Stearns and the Mets have done this off-season.

Episode Audio Has Been Fixed Using our alternative recordings, audio quality might vary. Uncle Eddie, Ricky, and the boys kick off the show with some chaotic humor, from the perils of bland chicken soup and dry cakes to Eddie's cold-weather nightmare involving his truck's frozen, snapped door handle and a back door left open all night. The conversation quickly escalates into a debate on "King Dingling" status, examining why figures like Joe Rogan and Dave Chappelle are "uncancellable" despite Hollywood's "woke" culture, and tackling the absurdities of the pronoun debate. The show's top-of-the-hour guest is the one and only Mike Dickinson, the King of the Midwest Strip Clubs (and now an official "Hoff"). Mike dives into the rich history of his massive venues like the Admiral Theater in Chicago, discusses why he offered housing and a job to a struggling Mickey Rourke, and reveals how he uses social media "spicy dancers" as his new feature acts. Mike also shares his surprising history as a "chubby chaser" favorite and his advocacy for free speech, inspired by The People vs. Larry Flynt, while revealing his shocking 210-pound weight loss transformation to a "sexy cowboy." Plus, the latest WTF News covers a moronic Florida man attempting a viral 24-hour TikTok challenge inside a closed Walmart, Frankie McDonald delivers his winter weather forecast, and the guys head to The Basement for a musical countdown of the hottest songs of 1965.

Steve Moore and Jennifer Hoff examine the economic landscape of the Texas border, specifically highlighting how trade uncertainty and regulatory shifts impact local commerce. Hoff reports that while Laredo remains a vital cargo port of entry, current tariff concerns and labor anxieties fueled by social media are creating volatility for businesses and workers alike. A central focus of their discussion is the potential danger of capping credit card delinquency fees, which they argue would inadvertently harm low-income families by causing banks to withdraw credit from high-risk borrowers.

BIG SPORTS SHOW 12 19 BRAGGIN RIGHTS TO BARRETT ELI HOFF by

In this episode, I sit down with Shannon Hoff, a seasoned mortgage pro who just made a career move that many loan officers quietly think about but rarely act on: shifting from mortgage banker to mortgage broker. Shannon spent 20 years on the banking side, working with only six companies over two decades — and two of those closed their doors. In an industry known for turnover, her track record of stability is rare. That's exactly why her decision to make the switch is such a powerful story. We dig into: What finally pushed her to explore the broker world The biggest surprises (good and bad) after leaving the banking model The key differences she wishes she'd understood earlier How control, product diversity, and borrower solutions factored into her move What she'd tell any loan officer considering the same jump Shannon's journey is honest, grounded, and refreshingly drama-free — no burning bridges, no "banker bashing," just real insight from someone who took the leap after two decades of loyalty. If you're a loan officer wondering whether the broker channel is worth exploring, this episode is like a flashlight in a dark attic… except with fewer spider webs.

From 'WFAN Daily' (subscribe here): Hoff talks about the end of the BT & Sal Show and then somehow goes on a rant about the Yankees and Mets awful offseasons. To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices. Visit https://podcastchoices.com/adchoices

BT and Sal dive headfirst into the heated topic of going bald. BT launches a blistering attack on men who are completely bald on top but insist on keeping the hair grown out on the sides, calling it one of the "worst looks any man can have." Sal, who fully shaves his head, admits he is currently a "neurotic" fanatic testing three different electric shavers in his quest to find a tool that can get as close as a wet shave—a method BT champions. BT details his strict routine of being a "shower shaver" at least three to four times a week to keep his "dome" perfectly tight. The conversation concludes with a hilarious, yet brief, detour into the viral photo of "Hoff's Package," which Tierney claims he barely even noticed.

BT & Sal dissect the Jets' brutal loss to the Dolphins, arguing that the pathetic gameplay is paradoxically "great for the franchise," as the defeat—coupled with the Daniel Jones injury—dramatically improves the value of their Colts draft pick, potentially securing a franchise QB like Mendoza. The conversation pivots to the Yankees, where they rail against the media's obsession with the Sonny Gray drama, demanding that Brian Cashman focus on Kwan and Bellinger instead of irrelevant history. They debate whether re-signing Bellinger is enough to make the Yankees a World Series contender and analyze the team's messy first base and left-field situation, lamenting the right-handed hitting drought if Stanton stays. The hosts then launch into a hilarious and detailed critique of "The Bald Look," with BT slamming the ridiculousness of men who maintain side "wings" and Sal detailing his neurotic shaving routine. Finally, they address the viral picture of their producer, Hoff, and his sweatpants bulge, expressing disbelief over the sudden public fascination with his "package."

BT & Sal kick off a fiery hour, celebrating the one-year anniversary of the Juan Soto signing to prove you "can't win the offseason." The Mets focus shifts to David Stearns' controversial reluctance to give long-term deals to free-agent pitchers, with Sal arguing for trade targets like Tarik Skubal instead of overpaying for "non-aces." In a stunning take, the hosts declare the Jets' brutal loss to the Dolphins is "GOOD" for the franchise, dramatically improving their Colts' draft pick value for a franchise QB. The Yankees are slammed for focusing on irrelevant Sonny Gray history instead of signing Cody Bellinger and Kwan. Other hot topics include: an impassioned rant over the Hall of Fame Veterans Committee's disgraceful six votes for Don Mattingly; a hilarious dissection of "The Bald Look," side "wings," and producer Hoff's viral sweatpants bulge; and an attack on Giants' rookie Abdul Carter's lack of accountability amid off-field issues. The show wraps with Sal detailing his chaotic trip to Santaland and a debate on PED confessions for Hall of Famers.

It's Week 14, and the Perfect Parlay competition is heating up! Host Hoff holds a narrow lead, but a streaking BT is right behind him, prompting Sal to go for a high-risk, four-team parlay for 100 points to close the gap. BT plays it conservative with a two-team parlay, betting the over in the Titans-Browns "dirt game" and backing the Jaguars as home dogs against the Colts. Hoff likes big favorites, smashing the spread with Seattle (-7) and Tampa Bay (-8), while predictably picking Miami over the Jets. Sal swings for the fences, taking the Raiders (+7.5) as a home dog and backing his Colts (-1.5) to finally snap a 10-game losing streak in Jacksonville! The segment ends with the hosts sharing crazy stories from their gambling past, including BT's near-miss of a $160,000 blackjack payout and their hard-and-fast rules about when to quit the casino ATM line.

BT & Sal dive into a fiery Yankees Hot Stove debate, starting with the likelihood of Cody Bellinger returning, and then pivot to Kyle Tucker, with Sal arguing that giving him 10 years or $$400$ million is "untenable," calling for a hard stop at eight years. They discuss the Yankees' possible "Superpower Strategy" of trading for an ace like Max Fried or Tarik Skubal to create the best rotation in decades—a move that prioritizes pitching dominance over position player spending.The talk heats up as they preview the Winter Meetings chaos and touch on the persistent (but unlikely) trade rumor of Bryce Harper to the Yankees.Finally, they tackle Three Random Questions, going completely off the rails:Would you date a porn star? (Prompted by the fake Juan Soto/Mia Khalifa social media image)

BT & Sal dive into a heated recap of their "Perfect Parlay Pick" segment, where the leaderboard has dramatically shifted! BT is riding a scorching 6-0 streak after hitting two straight three-team parlays, catapulting him to 210 points, just behind "Big Hoff" at 215. Sal, however, is protesting his score of 110, arguing that he was "murdered" by the Chiefs, Lions, and Eagles upsets over Thanksgiving weekend and demanding a review of the "Turkey Day Teaser" points. The segment exposes the fierce betting rivalry and the dubious math behind the on-air competition, making every pick a matter of pride and points!

BT & Sal dive into a trio of combustible topics! First, a viral (and fake) image of Juan Soto and Mia Khalifa sparks the question: Would you ever date a porn star? The hosts explore the potential challenges, from confidence issues to differing lifestyles. Next, the segment plunges into a marital "minefield" by asking, "What's the worst part of being married?" BT admits he misses being on his own schedule, while Sal and Hoff lament the need to "pretend to care" about endless stories and unnecessary communication ("Just talk to me like you're sending a text!"). Finally, they pull back from the sarcasm to share the best part of marriage: having a "pit bull" teammate and an unshakeable home base. The conversation briefly touches on a Bryce Harper to the Yankees rumor that Cashman can't seem to kill.
