1 / 4 MDJ Script/ Top Stories for October 8th Publish Date: October 8th Commercial: From the BG Ad Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast. Today is Wednesday, October 8th and Happy Birthday to R.L. Stine I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal 1. Man falsely accused of Walmart kidnapping reportedly seeking $25 million in damages 2. Atlanta tenor Timothy Miller launches St. Catherine’s community concert series on Oct. 19 3. Roger Hines publishes debut book All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! BREAK: INGLES 7 STORY 1: Man falsely accused of Walmart kidnapping reportedly seeking $25 million in damages Mahendra Patel just wanted to help. That’s what he thought he was doing back in March at a Walmart in Acworth—helping a woman he assumed was disabled, struggling to manage two kids in a motorized cart. Instead, he was accused of trying to kidnap her child. What followed was a nightmare: Patel was arrested, denied bond, and spent 46 days in jail. He lost 17 pounds, endured threats from inmates, and was denied his medication. All for what? A misunderstanding. Surveillance footage later cleared his name, showing Patel calmly shopping, finding Tylenol, and leaving the store. Now, he’s suing Acworth for $25 million. STORY 2: Atlanta tenor Timothy Miller launches St. Catherine’s community concert series on Oct. 19 Mark your calendars: local tenor Timothy Miller will take the stage at St. Catherine’s Episcopal Church in Marietta on Oct. 19 at 3 p.m. as part of The Friends of Music concert series. You’ve probably heard Miller’s powerful voice before—maybe during the seventh-inning stretch at a Braves game, belting out “God Bless America.” But his talent goes far beyond that. From Verdi’s Aida to Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess, and even Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9, Miller’s resume is as impressive as it is diverse. The concert is free (yes, free!), with donations welcome. No tickets needed—just show up early for a good seat. STORY 3: Roger Hines publishes debut book 2 / 4 Roger Hines has released his first book, The Hard and the Beautiful: Life in a Family of Seventeen Children, and it’s as heartfelt as the title suggests. In this memoir, Hines—child number 16 of 17—paints a vivid picture of growing up in rural Mississippi. Life was tough: tenant farms, cotton fields, and the weight of poverty. But it was also rich, thanks to faith, laughter, and the unshakable love of his parents, Walter and Levie Hines. “Poverty doesn’t have to be a dead end,” Hines says. “We were poor, but we were rich in all the ways that matter.” The book is available now on Amazon and at local retailers. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info. We’ll be right back. Break: INGLES 7 STORY 4: Police: Intoxicated man made false bomb threat at Johnnie MacCracken’s James E. Lusk, 29, of Marietta, allegedly called in a fake bomb threat to Johnnie MacCracken’s Celtic Firehouse Pub late on Sept. 26—because, according to police, he was drunk and angry. Not exactly a great combo. The arrest warrant also claims Lusk grabbed a woman by the arm during the incident, leaving her in pain. He was arrested three days later and charged with simple battery, false public alarm, and filing a false crime report. Lusk spent a few hours in the Cobb County jail before being released on Sept. 30 on a $10,000 bond. STORY 5: Home Depot hosts Kidde’s Cause for Alarm Home Safety Event On Oct. 4, Kidde teamed up with The Home Depot and iHeartMedia to host a lively fire safety event at The Home Depot on Roswell Road in Marietta. Part of Kidde’s Cause For Alarm campaign, the day was all about raising awareness for fire and carbon monoxide safety—and making homes safer, one alarm at a time. The event kicked off with a Donation Drive-Thru “parade,” complete with fire trucks, gear, and local firefighters from Sandy Springs. Families enjoyed music, food, giveaways, and even met Homer, The Home Depot mascot. The goal? Donate up to $1 million in alarms. Break: 3 / 4 STORY 6: Liberty joins the lineup: Cobb County’s newest K-9 embarks on duty Meet Liberty, the newest (and furriest) member of the Cobb County Sheriff’s K-9 Unit. She’s an 11-month-old bloodhound with a nose for tracking—whether it’s missing people or suspects. But don’t let her serious skills fool you; she’s still a puppy at heart, with a love for stuffed animals (or, honestly, anything she can shred). Liberty is partnered with Deputy Barry Bales, a 17-year veteran who previously worked with K-9 Shax, now retired. “Liberty’s tracking abilities will be a huge asset,” said Sheriff Craig Owens. Expect to see her out and about soon—sniffing, serving, and stealing hearts. STORY 7: Marietta Square gets a seasonal makeover The Marietta Square’s looking a little creepier (and a lot more creative) this October, thanks to the 22nd annual Scarecrows on the Square competition. Local businesses, schools, nonprofits, and just plain crafty Marietta folks have all joined in, decking out scarecrows with everything from humor to heart. Judging happens this week, with winners—Best in Show and category champs—announced at HarvestFest on Oct. 18. HarvestFest kicks off at 9 a.m. in Glover Park, featuring arts and crafts, a pie-eating contest, costumes, and kid-friendly fun. We’ll have closing comments after this.

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. What is it? Flowers for Algernon is a short science fiction story. Originally that. It was later developed as a novel. How did I come unto it? I know I have heard the title years before. So, when I saw it recently at the entrance on the bookstore, in a beautiful hardcover, I gave it a view. I did not decided to buy, but it stayed with me, specially for having few pages. I knew nothing of the plot, I only recognized the title, vaguely, as something I heard before as a praised work — and Isaac Asimov, who handed Keyes the Hugo Award for this short story, in 1960, as Best Novelette of 1959, "praised it lavishly" (source: Arthur Bruce Evans, of DePauw University. Daniel Keyes's Works ). I then, weeks or months later, searched about.and discovered it was originally a short story. And available online. In the moment of the interest aroused (soon before producing this.HPR episode), I was more than happy with the immediate possibility of reading, instead of having to wait to buy the book or letting it stay until the next visit to the Public Library of Paraná (that is, of my state in Brazil), that might have a copy. The first lines won me, so I kept reading, in two "seats", two moments, on the phone. It is 26 pages long. Now, to the story. The plot (Here starts a full revelation of the plot, if you want to stop listening.) (No personal written notes here, comment made directly to audio — so, more stuttered as I tried to find the ideas and words; thanks for the patience!) Curiosity: The Simpsons "As well as cinematic and stage adaptations, the book inspired a musical, starring Michael Crawford, and an episode of The Simpsons. In the episode, called Homr, Homer Simpson discovers that a crayon lodged in his brain has been responsible for his stupidity. On its removal, Homer becomes clever, only to have the crayon re-inserted after becoming distanced from family and friends. Aired in 2001, the episode won an Emmy for outstanding animated programme." (Source: BBC. Flowers for Algernon writer Daniel Keyes dies at 86 . June 18, 2014.) Ending... the author The author, Daniel Keyes, died on June 15, 2014, aged 86, from complications of pneumonia, at his home in Boca Raton (Florida, USA). His only wife, Aurea Georgina Vazquez, whom he married in 1952, had died one year, one month and one day before, on May 14, 2013.They had two daughters.

Send us a textJake Dye had been the lone news reporter at the Peninsula Clarion in Kenai for three years until his resignation last night, September 29. He is the great-grandson of the former mayor of Kenai James Dye and has deep roots in the city on both sides of his family. He graduated from UAA's journalism program in 2022 and shortly thereafter began work at the Clarion. We discuss the difficulties of being a new reporter isolated in such a small newsroom, what happened at the Homer News this past week, and his decision to resign.Context for today's episode:On September 10, conservative political organizer Charlie Kirk was assassinated while speaking at Utah Valley University. On September 17, hundreds of mourners gathered on the beach in Homer to remember the slain activist at a memorial service partially organized by Alaska State House Representative Sarah Vance. Homer News journalist Chloe Pleznak attended that outdoor memorial service, live streamed parts of it, and wrote a story about it that appeared in the September 25th edition of the paper. Rep. Vance took offense to the coverage provided by Pleznak. In a September 25th letter to the Executive Vice President of Sound Publishing John Carr and the CEO of Carpenter Media Tim Prince, the corporate owners of Homer News, she expressed her outrage, calling out the use of terms such as "far right" and "Christian nationalist" as prejudicial labels. She went on to highlight what she considers to be the “historic bias” of the Homer News and stated that: “this article represents the peak of a long-standing pattern of left-wing slant.” She concluded by warning that if the paper continues its partisan spin, “the consequence will be financial as well as reputational.”The result was that Carpenter Media removed Pleznak's article from the Homer News website and later replaced it with an edited version that removed Pleznak's byline. The social media commentary in both conservative and progressive circles was fierce, with folks on the right arguing that the Homer News should be ashamed of its biased coverage, and with those on the left arguing that the unauthorized editing of Pleznak's article without input from either her or her editor Erin Thompson was un-American censorship. On Monday, September 29, Chloe Pleznak, Erin Thompson, and our guest Jake Dye resigned from their papers.EXCERPTS FROM REP. VANCE LETTER (read full letter here):'Dear Mr. Carr,'I am writing to express my outrage over the article, "Homer holds vigil for Charlie Kirk," published in the Homer News on Tuesday, September 3, 2025.'The piece is not journalism, but rather it is hate-baiting at its worst . . .'From the opening paragraphs, reporter Chloe Pleznac branded Charlie Kirk with prejudicial labels such as "far-right" and "Christian-Nationalist icon," while smearing his views as "racist," "controversial," and "conspiracy theories." These are not facts; they are editorial judgements and political talking points. . . .'And let me be clear, this is not an isolated lapse. The historic bias of the Homer News is widely recognized in the community, and this article represents the peak of a long-standing pattern of left-wing slant. . . .'If the paper continues to treat community events as opportunities for partisan spin, the consequence will be financial as well as reputational. . . .'I urge you to take immediate corrective action.'

Ștefan Colceriu este cercetător ştiinţific la Institutul de Lingvistică „Iorgu Iordan şi Al. Rosetti”, co-fondator al Masteratului de Studii Religioase – Texte şi Tradiţii din cadrul Universităţii din Bucureşti. Fiind doctor în filologie clasică, pornim discuția de astăzi de la cursul pe care îl va susține la Fundația Calea Victoriei, curs numit "Femeile lui Odiseu", unde Odiseea este de fapt, "nava-mamă a tuturor construcţiilor literare ulterioare din spaţiul european.". "Întoarcerea lui Odiseu de la Troia nu este parcursul liniar despre care citim în rezumatele mitografilor, în cărţile pentru copii şi în compendiile de istoria culturii, a căror intenţie este, desigur, uşurarea accesului la teribila epopoee a lui Homer. Teribilă şi în sens etimologic, adică îngrozitoare, pentru că plonjarea fără avertisment şi fără o hartă epică minimală în marea care este Odiseea riscă să-l deconcerteze şi pe cel mai temerar înotător. Odiseea este, de fapt, nava-mamă a tuturor construcţiilor literare ulterioare din spaţiul european. Uimitoare este nu atât dimensiunea ei, ci structura de labirint coerent, vehicularea savantă a convenţiilor literare, modalitatea atât de matură de codificare simbolică a timpului şi a spaţiului unei acţiuni altfel relativ banale, ceea ce în critica de specialitate se numeşte cronotop, actul de identitate al oricărei opere literare. Odiseea este o reţea vastă de semne dispuse pe multiple niveluri care însoţesc cititorul în propria odisee. O serie a acestor semne o constituie prezenţele feminine din epopee de care ne vom ocupa în cursul pe care îl propunem. Vom explora în discursurile atât de diverse ale femeilor pe care le întâlneşte eroul pe cale nu atât simplul dialog dintre perechi de instanţe obiective, cât felul în care se adresează psihismului adânc al eroului aceste voci esenţiale ale destinului.", ne transmite in prezentarea acestui curs, Ștefan Colceriu În octombrie Fundația Calea Victoriei împlinește 18 ani de existență, iar cu această ocazie, Fundația oferă 18 vouchere-cadou în valoare de câte 300 lei, care pot fi câștigate prin concurs.

"Is Ted Cruz secretly a theater kid?" That's the question Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray wrestle with in this laugh-out-loud segment of The Ben and Skin Show, as KT dives into a bizarre and hilarious compilation of the senator's most cringeworthy impersonations.From Yoda that sounds like Marvin the Martian, to a Simpsons scene where Homer and Lisa share the same voice, to a Princess Bride reenactment that leaves Mario Lopez visibly confused, this episode is a masterclass in comedic breakdowns. The crew doesn't hold back, roasting Cruz's theatrical flair with razor-sharp wit and genuine disbelief.

BT and Sal vented their frustration over how the Steroid Era has tainted Aaron Judge's latest achievement of reaching 50 home runs for the fourth time in his career, a mark only previously reached by Babe Ruth, Sammy Sosa, and Mark McGwire. The hosts argued that by including Sosa and McGwire, whose numbers are linked to performance-enhancing drugs, MLB is unfairly diluting Judge and Ruth's honest accomplishments. They demanded that baseball stop acknowledging the "cheaters" in historical contexts, as it clouds the impressive nature of Judge's clean-slate success and sends a confusing message to new generations of fans.

Lotus eaters, cannibals, cyclops, and the seductively terrifying Circe highlight this portion of the story. The "Homeric Question" is also examined. Who was the author of The Odyssey and how was the story originally told? Themes of grief, memory, forgetting, guest rite, greek colonization, marital fidelty, and more are discussed. Homer's The Odyssey is one of the oldest and most enduring stories in all of civilization. Set in the aftermath of the legendary Trojan War, Odysseus, one of it's great heroes, has been lost at sea for decades. As he struggles to return home, the epic poem asks us important questions about history, memory, choice, kindness, leadership, violence, and much more. Even thousands of years later, The Odyssey still matters.   If you're reading along, the next podcast will cover books 11-16! -Consider Supporting the Podcast!- Leave a rating or review on apple podcasts or spotify!

How did the Aztecs understand life, morality, and human purpose? What can Aztec philosophy teach us about living well? Sebastian Purcell guides us through Aztec thought, beginning with a thought experiment from Homer's Odyssey and moving into the core ideas of Aztec wisdom. Along the way, he contrasts Aztec ethics with Western traditions and applies them to modern debates on morality, from sex and meat consumption to life's ultimate purpose. The conversation also takes on difficult topics like human sacrifice and sexual norms, showing how Aztec thought continues to challenge and enrich philosophy today.Chapters:[00:32] Odysseus and the Genie: A Thought Experiment[04:40] The Concept of Rootedness[08:17] Aztec Obligations and the Good Life[19:12] Shared Agency and Virtue[27:51] The Challenge of Community Bubbles[28:58] Aztec Views on Community and Travel[32:44] Human Sacrifice: Myth or Reality?[48:51] Aztec Moral Framework and Applied Ethics[53:03] Sexual Ethics in Aztec Society[57:06] Conclusion and Final Thoughts

The Trojan War is one of the great foundational stories of Western literature - a tale of gods and heroes, betrayal and siege, immortalised by Homer in the Iliad. But was it mere myth, or did it spring from real events in a real place?Today we're joined by Eric H. Cline, a professor of ancient history and archaeology at The George Washington University in Washington, D.C.. He digs into the evidence, from ancient poetry to archaeological discoveries at Troy, to explain whether there's historical truth behind the legend.Produced by James Hickmann and edited by Dougal Patmore.We'd love to hear your feedback - you can take part in our podcast survey here: https://insights.historyhit.com/history-hit-podcast-always-on.You can also email the podcast directly at ds.hh@historyhit.com.

Welcome back to Snafu with Robin Zander. In this episode, I'm talking with Bobby Podesta, longtime Pixar animator and storyteller. We dig into why storytelling and art matter, and why finding your own voice is more important than copying anyone else. Bobby opens up about his journey as an artist, the imposter syndrome he's faced, and how he learned to create art in a style that's truly his. We talk about how he turned a written novel into a graphic novel, translating dialogue and descriptions into illustrations along the way. He shares lessons from his college design teacher about noticing the art all around us—not just in museums or galleries. We also explore how design and storytelling balance function and emotion, in ways you might not even realize in everyday life. Bobby's story shows that creativity isn't about perfection – it's about showing up and being authentic. He gives a fresh perspective on how storytelling shapes the way we see the world and connect with others. This episode is full of insights for anyone who cares about art, design, and telling stories that matter. 00:00 Start 03:13 The Importance of Human Connection in Storytelling Bobby on storytelling Background: 30 years in film, always thinking about story structure. Drama is about “what you're both keeping back and what you're waiting to surprise your audience with.” Steve Jobs anecdote Jobs builds suspense with “one more thing.” On stage, he asks: “Has anyone ever wondered what this small pocket is for?” (the tiny jeans pocket). Instead of something expected like a coin, he pulls out “the world's smallest iPod and people flip out.” Why it works: audience knows the pocket's size → no need to explain iPod's dimensions. Structure: setup → familiar norm → question → twist → payoff. Bobby's takeaway: “That's really good storytelling, man. It's really good storytelling.” “People call him a salesperson. Like he's a great salesman. He's a great storyteller. If you can tell a good story, you're pulling people in. That's the key.” Robin on storytelling & AI His work is making commercials and mini-docs for startups. Says video itself doesn't matter as much as impact: “What I care about is changing human behavior and changing human emotion.” Believes the value of human storytelling is timeless: “The value of sitting at Homer's feet and listening to him recite the Iliad is never going to go away.” Bobby on storytelling & art Storytelling = fundamental way to convey and connect. Sees it like art: “Art is a way to express your opinion and how you process the world around you in a manner that hopefully other people can experience and relate to.” Calls art his “oldest friend, who I've probably treated the worst… neglected, starved, and then expect it to show up and perform.” Believes everyone can create: “Art is not a zero-sum game… art is ultimately subjective because art is an opinion about how you see the world.” Goal of art/storytelling: help others “find some relationship to the world around them through it.” 06:01 Art as a Form of Expression Robin's setup Grew up between an artist mother and entrepreneur father – “perfect intersection” of art + business. Distinguishes museum art (“old, on walls”) from art that's “around us all the time.” Points out modern communicators (Musk, Trump) as powerful storytellers/branders – even if you disagree with the content, “that is great art in the form of good communication.” Asks: why do we separate “high” art (Iliad, museums) from everyday, cultural storytelling (Pixar, branding)? Art is everywhere Bobby uses the car-buying analogy to explain awareness: “You're looking for a midsize pickup and suddenly you see them everywhere. They didn't just appear. You're just paying attention.” Art works the same way – once you start noticing, you realize it's all around you. Lesson from a design teacher: “If it wasn't dug up or grown, it's designed.” Everything man-made carries intention – and therefore, art. Pushes back on the museum-only view of art: “Saying art is only in museums is like saying there are only cars at dealerships. There are cars everywhere. There's art everywhere.” Examples of art woven into daily life: Clothing, headphones, glasses Desks, chairs, pottery, textiles Buildings, skylines, sidewalk prints Freeway dividers, lamps Even tools: “Go get a hammer. The handle's probably painted a color. It may be a penny's worth of art, but it's art, man.” Definition of art: “All these things are working with that balance between functionality and making you feel something.” Even branding choices – a color, a shape – are designed to evoke feeling. Perspective shift: Once you adjust your lens, “there's a lot of art out there. It's really, really amazing.” 12:04 The Relationship Between Artist and Art Bobby compares practice to a relationship: “It's like the people that love you the most, sometimes you treat the worst.” Practice is like a loyal friend or character always waiting: Wants to be fed, but often ignored. Always ready to show up again. “It's like that little character that shows up and is always there to help you out.” Robin asks if practice is a character on his shoulder. Bobby: “It probably is… but I love it. If there's a napkin, I'll doodle.” Art as a shared childhood language: Everyone starts out drawing: “Have you ever met an adult who didn't draw as a kid? Everyone says yes.” Drawing is how children interpret the world. Family encouragement made “the artist” part of his identity. Becoming a writer: Took a UC Berkeley Extension class called “Finishing the Novel.” Professor's advice: “You're all taking classes. None of you are professionals. Go form a writers' group.” Writers' group provided accountability → led to a first draft. Draft → literary agent → graphic novel → published book. “Flash forward all these years later and I have a book that comes out… I guess I'm an author.” Lessons on growth and identity: Identity comes from practice and persistence, not instant recognition. Progress isn't linear: “The road is not a straight line.” Common trap: believing “I should have been there already.” Bobby reframes time: “You can often have what you want, or you can have something when you want it. But you can rarely have what you want when you want it.” Letting go of rigid timelines gives a better chance of arriving. 18:01 The Process of Creating a Graphic Novel Robin asks why this story, why now, and why as a debut novel. Bobby admits he had played with different story ideas before. Thought to himself: “If I only have one chance to do this, what story do I want to tell?” Origin spark: a daydream while driving. “What if an animal just jumped out in front of me?” What if it leapt into the air and flew away? “What if that animal was a reindeer?” Question: what would a reindeer be doing here? That “what if” became the seed of the story. Bobby folded parts of himself into the idea. Loves holiday stories and movies → wanted to write one. Describes storytelling as crafting from a “pantry of experiences.” Not autobiography or documentary, but infused with pieces of his life. Details of the novel: Protagonist is an 11-year-old girl in 1955 Colorado. Bobby: “I was neither alive in 1955, nor have I ever been an 11-year-old girl, nor have I found a flying reindeer — spoiler alert.” Still, fragments of his own experiences and emotions shape the narrative. Goal as an author: To blend reality with imagination. To create something unique, fresh, and able to stand on its own. 20:58 Visual Storytelling vs. Written Storytelling Robin asks about storytelling: what's similar between Steve Jobs' two-minute iPod reveal and a 350-page graphic novel? Bobby: scale is different, but fundamentals are the same. Both are about introducing an idea, building drama, and pulling the audience in. Events and books both follow arcs: setup → build → climax → resolution. “He doesn't start the event with that, he ends the event with that. That's the climax.” Storytelling has shape across mediums: Characters introduced → audience grows to care → surprises and turns → payoffs. Example: Steve Jobs' coin pocket reveal → set up, then payoff. In a book, the payoff may come 100 pages later instead of 30 seconds. Analogy: whether you play 30 seconds of a song or an hour-long concert, you're still using the same fundamentals of music. Robin shifts to Bobby's background as a visual storyteller. As an animator of 30 years, Bobby is comfortable with visual stories, while Robin is more comfortable with written ones. Robin compares Bobby's graphic novel to The Bone Compendium (which he revisits often) and contrasts with Heinlein novels he might attempt. Robin: making comics doesn't have to be like “my mother's artwork she slaved over for years.” It can be like newspaper comics compiled into story. Asks Bobby for advice on where to begin if he wanted to try sketching a visual story. Bobby's advice: Many people don't think visual storytelling is possible for them. Shares personal story: On his first post-college date with his wife (now 25 years married), he said he wanted to write a book. It took him 25 years to actually write one. Never thought of doing a graphic novel because his drawing style didn't look like Marvel or X-Men. Even as a professional artist, felt imposter syndrome Realization: it's not about imitating Spider-Man — it's about drawing in your own style. Art is your opinion expressed visually. Stick figures can work if they serve the story. Doesn't have to be polished airbrushed paintings. How his graphic novel came about: Originally wrote the story as a regular novel. Sent to publishers with just a few illustrations. All said no — except one, who said: “I love the illustrations. Would you consider making this a graphic novel?” Bobby: “All right.” Treated it as an invitation. Decided to draw in his own style. Practical process: Took all the dialogue he had already written. Turned descriptions into drawings. Book was already written in close third person, without inner thoughts → made translation easier. First pass: dialogue in speech bubbles, description drawn. Realized: “I guess this works.” Takeaway: You don't have to start by drawing an entire book from scratch. You can begin with writing, then translate description into visuals.   28:10 Resilience in the Face of Rejection Robin points out the sheer amount of work Bobby went through: writing a book, getting rejected repeatedly, reinventing it with illustrations, then turning it into a graphic novel only to be rejected again. Robin: “It's almost the literal definition of courage… getting back up and trying again.” Notes that outsiders might think: “30-year Pixar animator, easy for you.” But the reality was rejection after rejection. Asks: how do you come back? What is your relationship with practice that allows you to face no 50 times and keep going? Bobby on optimism and imagination: “I'm lucky that I happen to be what myself and other people probably call an optimistic person.” Describes himself as “an optimist with a vivid imagination” → always assuming, “Yeah, we'll figure this out.” Loves being middle-aged because experience gives perspective: you've seen enough to know you can recover. The arc of a career/life: Beginning stage: fearless. “I can do anything because I cannot die.” Willing to leap into anything: start a company, go broke, jump off a cliff → “We'll figure it out.” Middle stage: awareness of consequences. Relationships, responsibilities, failures and successes → “I don't know if I should do anything.” Weight of awareness can freeze you. Later stage: resilience. “I'm still here, I figured it out.” Confidence comes not from avoiding mistakes but from knowing: “I can recover from anything.” Personal examples: Bobby's two kids are both in college. He reflects on their application process: multiple schools, multiple options. His own experience was the opposite: Applied to only one school (CalArts). Barely got in. Supported by his single mother, who let him pursue art school. That early challenge taught him persistence and how to “figure it out.” The practice of persistence: Life and career filled with moments of trial and error. “That didn't work. Okay, maybe this. Well, that didn't work. Maybe this.” Sometimes progress feels like moving backwards before going forward again. Analogy: like a Roomba. Hits an obstacle → bounces, changes direction, keeps moving. “I don't know that equating myself to a robot vacuum is the best thing, but it eventually gets the whole job done.” 33:33 Storytelling Frameworks and Structures Bobby on classical story structure in his book: Book follows a traditional arc: opening, inciting incident (

Over the past several years I have been on a personal mission. Maranatha and I got married in our early thirties which meant that we were combining the lives of two self-sufficient adults. Our wedding registry didn't include the typical newlywed items. Many of those items we already had, like pots and pans.Last year I noticed that our sauce pan was two different colors and shortly after my mother informed me that the pan I'd inherited from her used to be a nonstick pan. All of the nonstick was completely gone on the bottom half of the pan. Since then I've been working to remove all nonstick pans from our house in favor of other long lasting pans such as my great grandmother's cast iron pans. I see this same exchange happening in other areas of my life, the long lasting but more difficult choice is set aside for a quick fix. Many of us approach politics the same way. Our hope is that the latest political candidate will offer us a quick fix, and yet the older I get the quick fixes seem to fade away faster than they came. This Sunday I want to call to our attention the eternal rewards that God offers us and remember that there is only one true king, the King of Kings, the Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ our Savior and the everlasting peace He offers us, and there is no quick fix that will replace Him.Pastor Matt McCarter

Nous sommes aujourd'hui avec Moïse Sfez, figure montante de la street food. À seulement 30 ans, il enchaîne les succès avec Homer Lobster, Janet et Maurice Café, où il bouscule avec audace les codes de la restauration rapide pour réconcilier la gastronomie avec la rue. Pour co-animer ce nouvel épisode de Business of Bouffe, Philibert est accompagné d'Élisa Gautier, la fondatrice du restaurant Kiosk à Paris.À travers ce podcast, nous cherchons à comprendre les clés de la réussite fulgurante de Moïse Sfez. En quelques années seulement, il a transformé un (simple) sandwich au homard en une véritable success story et dirige aujourd'hui un petit empire de la street food.Pour cela, nous retraçons le parcours de Moïse. On s'intéresse à sa vocation hyper précoce pour l'entrepreneuriat et la restauration. Inspiré dès l'enfance par les sandwichs généreux et gourmands de ses parents, il développe très tôt l'envie de créer un jour son propre Business dans la Bouffe. Puis, lors d'un voyage à New York, il a la révélation à seulement 15 ans lorsqu'il goûte pour la première fois un Lobster Roll. Ensemble, on évoque son parcours peu académique en école hôtelière et ses expériences dans les plus beaux palaces et restaurants 3 étoiles. Son profil et son comportement dénotent, mais son audace et sa persévérance remarquables lui permettent de forger son projet. Il pose ainsi les bases de son premier succès : Homer Lobster.Nous explorons ensuite toutes les étapes de la création et du développement de Homer Lobster. Moïse nous raconte par exemple les mois passés à peaufiner sa recette avec l'appui des plus grands chefs et experts pour atteindre la perfection et maîtriser chaque étape de la production. Puis, on l'écoute avec beaucoup de plaisir se remémorer les coups d'audace qui lui ont permis, sans aucun moyen financier, de trouver rapidement son public et de faire de son sandwich au homard un produit iconique de la street food parisienne.Enfin, Moïse revient sur la création de ses 2 autres enseignes : Janet tout d'abord, puis plus récemment Maurice Café. Moïse se livre sans filtre : ses ambitions, mais aussi la structuration du Homer Food Group qu'il pilote aujourd'hui avec une vision affirmée. Il partage avec nous tous les chiffres et ses choix stratégiques, une plongée inspirante dans les coulisses d'un groupe de restauration en pleine expansion.Cet épisode a été enregistré avec la participation exceptionnelle de François-Régis Gaudry, Eric Frechon et Yann Couvreur.

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION“Hospitality means primarily the creation of free space where the stranger can enter and become a friend instead of an enemy.”~Henri J.M. Nouwen (1932-1996), Dutch priest, professor and theologian.“Here in our house you'll find a royal welcome; Have supper first, then tell us what you need.”~From Book 1 of Homer's Odyssey“What you leave behind is not engraved in stone monuments but what is woven into the lives of others.”~Pericless (495-429 BC), Greek general“Christian hospitality has much more to do with good relationships than with good food. There is a fine line between care and cumber. In many instances, less ado would serve better.”~Kevin DeYoung, American pastor and theologian“The focus of entertaining is impressing others; the focus of true hospitality is serving others.”~Tim Chester, British pastor and authorSERMON PASSAGE3 John 1-15 (ESV) 1 The elder to the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth. 2 Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul. 3 For I rejoiced greatly when the brothers came and testified to your truth, as indeed you are walking in the truth. 4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth. 5 Beloved, it is a faithful thing you do in all your efforts for these brothers, strangers as they are, 6 who testified to your love before the church. You will do well to send them on their journey in a manner worthy of God. 7 For they have gone out for the sake of the name, accepting nothing from the Gentiles. 8 Therefore we ought to support people like these, that we may be fellow workers for the truth. 9 I have written something to the church, but Diotrephes, who likes to put himself first, does not acknowledge our authority. 10 So if I come, I will bring up what he is doing, talking wicked nonsense against us. And not content with that, he refuses to welcome the brothers, and also stops those who want to and puts them out of the church. 11 Beloved, do not imitate evil but imitate good. Whoever does good is from God; whoever does evil has not seen God. 12 Demetrius has received a good testimony from everyone, and from the truth itself. We also add our testimony, and you know that our testimony is true. 13 I had much to write to you, but I would rather not write with pen and ink. 14 I hope to see you soon, and we will talk face to face. 15 Peace be to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends, each by name.

"That photo was taken shortly before I was shot in the back; which was very strange, because it was during a Bob Hope show.

The Iliad is the world’s greatest epic poem—heroic battle and divine fate set against the Trojan War. Its beauty and profound bleakness are intensely moving, but great questions remain: Where, how, and when was it composed and why does it endure? To explore these questions is today’s guest, Robin Lane Fox, a scholar and teacher of Homer for over 40 years. He’s the author of “Homer and His Iliad” and he addresses these questions, drawing on a lifelong love and engagement with the poem. He argues that the poem is the result of the genius and single oral poet, Homer, and that the poem may have been performed even earlier than previously supposed a place, a date, and a method for its composition—subjects of ongoing controversy. Lane Fox considers hallmarks of the poem; its values, implicit and explicit; its characters; its women; its gods; and even its horses.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
