Been watching footage of yesterday's storms that caused a ton of damage in Horicon & Lomira, WI. More rain & thunderstorms in our area today, but much cooler with a high of just 71° expected. Also in the news this morning, an Air Canada pilot flew hundreds of flights over almost 20 years with a fake license, actor Tyler Mane is battling breast cancer, Coors Light introduces the TALLER boy for the upcoming World Cup, and a Delta flight had to be diverted after a passenger slapped a flight attendant on the ass. In sports, the Brewers dropped another one to the A's yesterday, the Knicks came all the way back from a 27-point deficit at halftime last night to beat the Spurs & go up 3-1 in the NBA Finals, the NHL Stanley Cup final continues tonight on ABC, Patrick Mahomes is getting PAID, and a Rams player is arrested for felony domestic assault. We talked about what's on TV today/tonight and discussed the hold-up for a "Home Improvement" reboot. Plus, the trailer for the Green Day road-trip movie dropped yesterday.

And massive efforts are underway to clean up the trash in the ocean as Los Angeles gets ready to host the Summer Olympics in 2028. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a #FloridaMan who was wankin' his crank in a McDonald's parking lot in broad daylight, another #FloridaMan who went to a Walmart just to set a bunch of bras on fire, a former Christian school teacher who was having sex with a student, and another #FloridaMan who broke into a convenience store to steal cigarettes...alcohol...bologna & cheese...and some scratch tickets!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Buffalo is melting, Sam is feral about central air, and Cameron is one thermostat decision away from being served papers. Jeff shows up for emotional support, Dairy Queen, and eventually $60 worth of Taco Bell because self‑control is for people without DoorDash.Sam spends the weekend walking approximately 4000 miles around Delaware Park (by choice??), wins half a butcher shop at a meat raffle, and then nearly dies recaulking her bathtub after the caulk slapped her in the face like it had a personal vendetta.Meanwhile, Jeff is out here fighting hockey fans, rescuing entire stadium sections with his Karen‑for‑good powers, and watching enough cult documentaries to start his own.Together, they spiral through Buckwild marathons, hot tub overstimulation, crispy Diet Cokes, and the ongoing saga of “Why Is My House Falling Apart?”It's unhinged. It's sweaty. It's deeply on brand.

Episode SummaryThis week on Home In Progress, Dan opens with something a little different -- a look at the animal kingdom's most surprising builders and tool users, and what any of us can take from that. Then he gets into the main topic: the growing number of homeowners who've decided they're staying put, and what that shift in thinking should mean for how you spend renovation dollars. Dan walks through five can't-lose projects for the forever home, including some smaller-scale, paint-friendly versions of each one for when the budget isn't there yet. He closes with four questions that can help you figure out which project is actually the right first move for your specific house.In This Episode[00:00] -- Welcome and Teaser[00:34] -- Animals Using Tools (and What That Has to Do With You)[05:35] -- The Forever Home Mindset[09:59] -- Project 1: Outdoor Living Space[13:21] -- Project 2: Kitchen Refresh[19:25] -- Project 3: Windows, Insulation, and Air Sealing[24:36] -- Project 4: Basement Upgrade[30:50] -- Project 5: Primary Bathroom[33:46] -- Four Questions to Find Your Best First Project[38:53] -- Paint, Final Thoughts, and Wrap-UpSegment 1: Animals Using Tools [00:34]Dan opens with a fun detour into the animal kingdom. Turns out humans aren't the only ones who build things, use tools, and pass down traditions.Termites [01:09] -- Termite mounds can rise more than 20 feet in the air with walls 18 inches thick. Inside, they're honeycombed with tunnels, chambers, and air channels that regulate temperature and humidity like a built-in HVAC system. Architects have actually copied the design. The Eastgate Centre in Zimbabwe, designed by Mike Pearce, uses passive cooling modeled directly on termite mounds and consumes about 90% less energy for ventilation than a comparable conventional building.Sea Otters and Chimps [02:07] -- Otters float on their backs, rest a stone on their belly, and smash open clams and mussels against it. Some otters even have a favorite rock they carry tucked in a pouch of loose skin under their arm so it's always handy. Chimpanzees strip leaves off twigs and use them to fish termites out of mounds. The more interesting part: different chimp communities in the same forest have entirely different tool traditions, passed down like family recipes. In Tanzania, two neighboring groups both fish for termites with sticks, but one group consistently makes their tools wider and longer than the other. In Senegal, one community has invented something no other chimps on earth do -- they make actual spears, sharpening the tips with their teeth and using them to hunt.Crows and Elephants [03:55] -- In a famous Oxford experiment, a crow named Betty was given two pieces of wire, one bent into a hook and one straight. Her cage mate stole the hook. Betty took the straight wire, jammed it into a crack, bent it into a hook on her own, and used it to fish meat out of a tube. She did it nine out of ten times when the scenario was repeated. Asian elephants snap branches off trees, strip them down, and shorten them to just the right length for swatting flies. They're not using whatever's lying around -- they're modifying the tool to fit the job.The Takeaway [04:51] -- If termites with brains the size of a grain of salt can engineer a skyscraper, and crows can fabricate hooks on the fly, and otters are basically one step away from a tool belt, whatever you're telling yourself you can't learn probably isn't as true as you think.Segment 2: The Forever Home Mindset and 5 Can't-Lose Projects [05:35]Why People Are Staying Put [06:10]Dan poses a question to start: if you knew without a doubt you were never moving from the house you're in right now, what would you change first?That question is reshaping how a lot of homeowners think about renovation right now. Homeowner spending on home improvements is projected to hit $518 billion in 2026, and it's not being driven by the luxury market or house flippers. It's regular homeowners who've decided they're staying. According to the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies and a 2026 survey from Great Day Improvements, nearly two-thirds of homeowners expect to be in their current home for 11 years or more. And 44% of homeowners now describe where they live as their forever home.If you bought or refinanced around 2020 or 2021 at 3% or lower, you already know why nobody's moving. A 7% mortgage waiting on the other side of a sale has a way of making your current house look a lot better.When that's the context, the renovation calculus changes. You stop asking what a future buyer will want and start asking what will actually make your family's life better for the next decade or more. That shift changes everything about where renovation dollars go.Project 1: Outdoor Living Space [09:59]West Michigan winters get all the complaints, but the springs, summers, and falls are genuinely great. If you're staying in your home, it pays to think about how much of that you're actually using.Dan's honest about his own situation here: his deck has no seating, nobody ever uses it, and they're wasting dozens of evenings out there every year just by not having the space set up. The vision for this project can be as big as a covered pergola, an outdoor kitchen, a hot tub area with weather-safe TV and speakers -- spaces that function as actual rooms. The return on that isn't measured in resale dollars. It's measured in summer evenings with your family.Paint-friendly version: If the bigger build-out isn't in the budget, start smaller. Get the deck cleaned up and restained. Get dedicated seating out there. If you've already got wood or metal chairs that have seen better days, RepcoLite can usually help you get them cleaned up and looking good again. Create a space that actually invites you to sit down.Project 2: Kitchen Refresh [13:21]The kitchen is where most families spend an enormous amount of time, almost all of it either cooking, cleaning, or entertaining. A kitchen that looks good and functions well makes daily life easier in ways that are hard to overstate.Dan talks through what a refresh can include: painting or refacing cabinets, new countertops, updated hardware, a new sink and faucet, new appliances, updated lighting, new floors. Some of those things aren't cheap. But the payoff comes from 300-plus dinners a year in a space that doesn't make you feel bad every time you walk into it.Dan's own kitchen confession [15:33]: '80s oak cabinets he doesn't like, dated hardware, a track light that's a direct import from the same decade with shiny brass everything and two or three working bulbs, Formica counters that have lost most of their original color. He's not proud of it. He knows it drags him down. He also knows it doesn't have to, and that a couple of weeks of work would change most of it.Paint-friendly version: Painting the cabinets and updating the colors is one of the highest-impact, most budget-friendly changes you can make in a kitchen. Pair that with better lighting and some new hardware, and you can dramatically lift the mood of a space without touching the counters or the layout.Project 3: Windows, Insulation, and Air Sealing [19:25]Older homes lose a significant amount of heat through inefficient windows, attics, rim joists, and basement walls. Every year you stay in the house, you're paying for that inefficiency. Replacing outdated windows with modern low-E glass triple-pane units, combined with serious air sealing and insulation in the attic, is one of those projects that starts paying you back the day it's done.The payback isn't just in lower heating bills, though that's real and measurable. It's also in comfort. Eliminating drafts, keeping warm spaces warmer and cool spaces cooler -- that changes how you feel about being inside your own home.Dan is careful not to oversell the financial return. Windows alone don't always pay for themselves quickly in energy savings. Insulation and air sealing tend to give you better bang for your buck on the utility side. But when you're in your forever home and you're not doing the math on resale, the calculation shifts. It becomes less about payback period and more about making the house a more comfortable place to live every single day.Dan also mentions a past show segment on opening painted-shut windows from 2024, and will link to it in the show notes for anyone dealing with that specific problem.Paint-friendly version: You can't make old windows more efficient with paint. But you can improve how they look and feel. Getting painted-shut windows functioning again doesn't cost much and doesn't require much more than some know-how. Dan's got that covered in the 2024 segment linked below.Project 4: Basement Upgrade [24:36]Almost every West Michigan home has a basement. A surprising percentage of them are being used for storage and not much else. A finished basement adds livable square footage without changing the footprint of the house, and it grows with you -- a playroom becomes a teenage hangout space becomes a home gym as the years go by.Dan's current lower level is wall-to-wall paneling, drop ceiling tiles, and carpet, all from the '80s. It works. The kids have used it. It's served its purpose. But there's a lot more potential there.Paint-friendly version: This is one where paint can genuinely transform a space on a fraction of the budget of a full finish-out. Dan tells the story of doing exactly this in his first house -- a dark, dingy Michigan basement that nobody...

What if your family's current path isn't leading where you hope? Genesis reveals two stark legacies—Cain's descendants built impressive cities and technologies while completely ignoring God, while Seth's family chose to "call on the name of the Lord."

Through practical steps like prioritizing prayer, normalizing Jesus' name, and establishing spiritual rhythms, you can shift from merely raising kids to raising disciples. Don't miss this roadmap for building a faith-centered legacy that outlasts you!

What if the dysfunction haunting your family doesn't have to define your future? Cain's explosive anger toward Abel's accepted sacrifice mirrors the unaddressed emotions simmering in many homes today—until one brother killed another in a field.

But where Cain asked "Am I my brother's keeper?" and answered with murder, Jesus answered the same question with his life, proving that cycles can be broken. Don't let another day pass—watch now and discover the five practical steps to defeat dysfunction before it defeats your family.

What if the very chaos in your home isn't random but the ripple effect of humanity's first family crisis? Pastor Blake unpacks Genesis 3:14-24, revealing how Adam and Eve's sin brought complications into every relationship—but also God's four-fold response: discipline that corrects, difficulty that reveals dependence, deliverance through sacrifice, and defense through loving boundaries. From fig leaves to animal skins, God shows that we can't cover our own dysfunction—only Christ can. As families face the ongoing battle between brokenness and restoration, this message offers practical wisdom for building homes that reflect the gospel story rather than perpetuate cycles of pain. Don't let another day pass trying to manage your family's complications alone—discover God's covering today.

Brian and Deni break down the cold, hard math on which renovations actually increase your home's value (spoiler: there aren't many). Most homeowners justify massive renovation bills by convincing themselves they'll recoup the money when they sell. They won't. The numbers don't lie... and we've got two major industry reports to prove it. We cover: → The ONE renovation that breaks even (and it's weirdly specific) → Why garage door replacements crush everything else at 268% ROI → The worst performers that lose you thousands (primary suite additions tank at 18% recovery) → How investors renovate profitably while homeowners overpay → Why middle-class Americans trap too much wealth in their homes → Energy-efficient upgrades that actually save you money while you own the property → The joy factor: when spending makes sense even if you lose money → Why your home is a liability, not an investment → How to think about renovations vs. moving costs → Kitchen and bathroom remodels: the math behind the myth New to passive real estate investing?

What if the silent enemy slipping into your home today is the same one that shattered paradise itself? Pastor Blake unveils how Satan's ancient strategy—distortion, distraction, division, and distance—still tears apart families through subtle compromises and spiritual passivity. From the Garden of Eden to your living room, the battle for your marriage and home rages daily, but Christ offers restoration where Adam failed. Ready to stop hiding behind fig leaves of blame and step into God's design for lasting unity? Don't let another day pass in the enemy's snare—watch now and reclaim your home!

A world can feel stable until it doesn't. We follow the subtle cracks that widened from taxes and troops to a full-blown rethinking of power, tracing how frustrated farmers, dockworkers, and merchants became citizens willing to risk everything for an idea. From the Stamp Act to the Townshend duties, from a snowy night in Boston to tea steeped in defiance, we map the moments when a scattered people discovered unity—and how that unity turned a protest movement into a nation.We walk through the clash of perspectives after the French and Indian War: Parliament's logic of shared costs versus colonists' demand for consent. The Boston Massacre becomes a masterclass in how images can outrun facts and still shape history. The Tea Act tests principle against convenience, the Intolerable Acts forge coordinated resolve, and the First Continental Congress rehearses national identity before it has a flag to rally around. Then come the shots at Lexington and Concord, the long grind of a war held together by Washington's resolve, and the tipping point created by French support that ends at Yorktown and a new name on the world's map.But the story does not end with victory. We confront the tension between a radical creed—“all men are created equal”—and an unequal society, acknowledging the lives excluded while recognizing the idea's enduring pull. The real legacy is an unfinished mandate: power should answer to the people, government should serve, and every generation must decide how to extend the promise.

What if your family's foundation is cracking because you skipped the blueprint? Just like building a LEGO masterpiece, Pastor Blake reveals that strong families don't happen by accident—they require following God's original design found in Genesis.

Whether you're single, married, or navigating family challenges, this message offers hope for realigning with God's protective and purposeful plan.

This is the All Local 4:00 pm for Tuesday, March 31, 2026.

In this episode, I sit down with Joe Gatto — comedian, founding member of Impractical Jokers, author, and one of the most genuinely funny and surprisingly deep guys I've ever had on this show. Yes, we laugh. A lot. But what surprised me most about this conversation is how quickly it got real. Joe lost his dad to pancreatic cancer at 19 years old — and watching his father face death with grace, humor, and a smile on his face left an imprint on Joe that shaped everything: the man he became, the dad he is today, and even the comedy career that followed. We get into marriage and how humor can be the glue that holds a couple together through a tumultuous season — but also how humor can become a way to avoid the conversations that actually need to happen. Joe is honest that the last couple of years have been tough, and he talks about learning to know when it's time to stop laughing and start talking. And Joe's kids' book — Where Is Barry? — gets the full story: how his son Remo losing his stuffed animal one night turned into a beautifully illustrated book about calming down, thinking logically, and handling life's little chaos moments.   Timeline Summary [0:00] Introduction to the Dad Edge mission and the movement to raise leaders of families and communities [1:01] Introducing Joe Gatto — Impractical Jokers, touring comedian, author, and a guy who's way more real than you'd expect [4:23] Growing up in Staten Island: big Italian family, big backyard, and a nerdy kid who quizzed his dad with encyclopedia multiple choice tests [5:40] How comedy shaped Joe's childhood — Home Improvement, Mel Brooks, Jim Carrey, and movie nights with dad [8:10] The relationship with his dad — and losing him to pancreatic cancer at just 19 years old [10:00] His dad's response to the diagnosis: "Get a fake ID, we're going to Vegas" [11:02] What it was like to be in the ambulance when his father passed — and the smile on his face at the very end [13:16] Larry's reflection: "You had more of a dad in 19 years than a lot of men have in a lifetime" [14:20] How Joe's dad shaped the comedian, the father, and the man he is today [15:02] Joe's new tour Let's Get Into It — tracing his journey from a geeky kid with no friends to who he is now [16:23] The iconic memory: dad comes home in a full suit, kids are in the pool — and he just jumps in [17:21] How Joe recreated that exact moment for his own kids without even planning it [18:36] What Joe's kids would say about him if you asked them without him in the room [19:37] His 9-year-old daughter who wants to be a DJ — and why Joe said yes without hesitation [20:06] His 7-year-old son who asks questions like "why is the middle finger bad?" — and how Joe handled it [24:08] The origin story of Impractical Jokers — day jobs, a bartender, a firefighter, and four friends doing comedy for fun [33:24] The important line: humor can hold you together, but there's a time to stop laughing and start talking [35:09] Where Is Barry? — the children's book inspired by his son Remo losing his stuffed animal [38:48] Joe's son's first reaction to the finished book: "Where's Milana? My sister should be in it too" [39:25] Why Joe believes teaching kids to cope with adversity is the number one job of a parent [41:22] Leading by example: how kids see everything, reflect everything, and learn how to handle life by watching you [42:06] Separating emotion from response — and catching things when they're little, not when they're boulders [42:43] Why Joe always apologizes to his kids — and why he never says "because I said so" [47:05] Joe's advice: surround yourself with people who make you better, and be the person who brings others up [48:19] On balance: it's impossible — just be where you are, and say yes to the five minutes that matter most   Five Key Takeaways The moments your kids will remember forever aren't the big planned ones — they're the split-second decisions to jump in the pool in a full suit. Be present for the small moments. Humor is a powerful connector in marriage and family — but it has to know its place. There's a time to laugh through things together and a time to put the jokes down and have the real conversation. Teaching your kids to cope with adversity is the single most important job you have as a parent. Not grades. Not manners. Coping — because you won't always be there, but their ability to handle life will be. Never say "because I said so." If you can't explain why you're making a decision, question whether you're making the right one. Kids deserve a reason, and giving one builds trust. Balance is a myth. You can't do everything equally all the time. But you can be fully where you are — and say yes to the five minutes your kid is asking for, because those five minutes will be the best part of their day.   Links & Resources Roommates to Soulmates Cohort & Preview Call: https://thedadedge.com/soulmates The Men's Forge: https://themensforge.com Where Is Barry? by Joe Gatto — available on Amazon Follow Joe Gatto on Instagram: @joe_gatto Joe Gatto's website: https://www.joegattoofficial.com/ Episode Link & Resources (Episode 491): https://thedadedge.com/491   Closing If there's one message from this episode that stands out, it's this: the moments that shape your kids forever are usually the ones you almost didn't take. Joe Gatto watched his dad jump into a pool in a full suit on a summer evening — a split-second decision that Joe still talks about decades later. And without even thinking about it, Joe recreated that same moment for his own kids when they called him away from work. Three minutes. Full clothes. Right in. That is the legacy. That is what your kids will tell their kids about. You don't have to be perfect. You don't have to have all the answers. You just have to show up, say yes when it counts, and teach them how to handle life when you're not around to help. If this episode made you laugh and think — which it will — share it with a dad who needs both today. Go out and live legendary.

Buddies is a short-lived sitcom that aired on ABC in 1996, serving as a direct spin-off of the massive hit Home Improvement. The series followed Dave (Dave Chappelle) and John (Christopher Gartin), two best friends and business partners trying to get their video production company off the ground in Chicago. The series is often remembered more for its behind-the-scenes drama than its on-air run, specifically the controversial casting change that saw Jim Breuer replaced by Christopher Gartin just before filming began. Despite Chappelle's obvious star power, the lack of authentic rapport and a shifting time slot led to its cancellation after only five episodes. As result Breuer's removal will forever be linked to the lack of success the show found. Despite Buddies' short run is there enough here to earn a green-light from the S1E1 boys? Listen as they deep dive the show's first episode, "Lights, Camera, Yuck!" and find out.
