Send us a textDecluttering isn't just about tidying up—it's about creating space for peace in a chaotic world. Hitting 1 million downloads calls for celebrating with a powerful guest, and Connie Graf delivers with compassion and wisdom that will transform how you approach your environment.Connie, founder of "From Chaos to Peace," reveals why most of us struggle to implement organizational systems despite knowing what to do. "The information is not necessarily the problem," she explains. "The problem is why aren't we doing what we often know we need to do?" This question unlocks a fascinating exploration of procrastination, fear, and the hidden barriers to creating supportive environments.Drawing from her Swiss background and years helping entrepreneurs, Connie shares her framework of four personality types—fire, earth, air, and water—each with unique organizational challenges. Fire types start enthusiastically but struggle to follow through. Earth types get trapped in endless planning. Air types overthink everything. Water types become emotionally overwhelmed by their possessions. Understanding your type provides targeted strategies that actually work.The conversation takes a vulnerable turn when discussing why change feels so threatening. "I think I will not recognize myself if I change and I'm afraid of that," one client confessed. This fear keeps many stuck in chaos despite craving peace. Connie's gentle advice? "A few minutes a day keeps the chaos away." Small, consistent actions build momentum without triggering resistance.We also explore the cultural pressures on women to "do it all" without seeking help, and how setting boundaries—though initially uncomfortable—creates the foundation for genuine peace. As Connie wisely notes, "We can only create more peace in the world if we have peace within us and within our families."Ready to transform your environment from chaotic to peaceful?

One thing I've noticed about higher desire wives: they feel so lonely. They think they're the only wife on the plane that has the higher desire for sex. They often talk about how they hear about their other lady friends complain about how their husbands are always pursuing them and wanting to have sex with them and how they're tired of that. And the higher desire wives themselves think, "If only my husband pursued me that way....Is something wrong with me? Did I marry the wrong person?" My great friend J. Parker join us on the episode today. She is the author of the blog Hot, Holy, Humorous and a new book called The Higher Desire Wife. She and I will be discussing these concerns and others expressed by a group of higher desire wives in our private Facebook group. So if you're the wife that's higher desire in your marriage, I just want to say you're very welcome here. There's absolutely nothing wrong with you. And of course, we're gonna do a deep dive on and hopefully answer some of the questions you might in this episode.

(00:01) Golf Rules and Fair Play This chapter kicks off with some lighthearted banter about Derby week in Louisville, Kentucky, and the coincidental horse names, Journalist and Publisher, which spark a humorous betting anecdote. Shifting gears to golf, we explore the complexities and often misunderstood nature of golf rules, especially those pertaining to the PGA Tour and the FedEx Playoffs. We question the fairness of giving the top 10 players a stroke advantage and ponder a potential rule change that would start all players at zero, likening it to NCAA tournament seedings. Finally, we address the confusion many amateurs face in distinguishing between one-stroke and two-stroke penalties, acknowledging the challenge of fully understanding golf's intricate rulebook. (11:07) Navigating Water Hazards in Golf This chapter takes a closer look at the differences between red and yellow penalty areas on a golf course, often referred to as hazards. We explore the nuances of each, including how they impact dropping options and gameplay. Red penalty areas, or lateral hazards, typically offer more flexibility, allowing players to drop the ball on either side of the hazard or move two club lengths away from where the ball last crossed the hazard line. Yellow penalty areas, however, are more restrictive, often requiring the player to play across the hazard, as seen in island greens. We also address common misconceptions, such as the belief that a ball only needs to touch the ground on the safe side to be playable, clarifying that it must come to rest there. Through examples like the TPC at Sawgrass and a former hole at Pine Tree Golf Club, we illustrate the practical application of these rules, emphasizing the importance of understanding them to avoid unnecessary penalties. (24:11) Understanding Golf Penalties and Rules This chapter focuses on the nuances of golf penalties and the importance of rule distinctions in the game. We explore how accidental infractions, like accidentally moving a ball to a better position, are addressed with a one-stroke penalty to prevent players from gaining an unfair advantage. Additionally, we discuss the two-stroke penalties for more serious violations, such as playing a wrong ball or from the wrong place, and the potential disqualification if a player fails to rectify the mistake before teeing off on the next hole. The conversation highlights the intricacies of golf rules and suggests bringing in a USGA rules official for future discussions to clarify these complex scenarios. The topic of how the game changes when the ball reaches the green is also introduced, setting the stage for further exploration. (34:13) Unfair Golf Rules Debate This chapter brings back the weekend golf discussions where we explore some of the rules that often irk us, especially the unfair penalty strokes. Jeff passionately shares his frustration about not being able to move a ball out of a divot in the fairway, a rule he finds unfair compared to others that allow for improving one's position in a penalty area. We examine the inconsistency in these rules and suggest that divots should be considered ground under repair, as it would make the game fairer. Additionally, we touch on the humorous yet serious side of rules, like the scenario where a player's ball accidentally falls off the tee, clarifying that intent to hit is required for a stroke to count. This leads us to discuss recent changes in rules regarding accidental ball movement, particularly once the ball is in play, highlighting the evolving nature of golf regulations. (41:47) Debate Over Golf Rules This chapter explores the ongoing debate about the USGA's rules of golf and their impact on both amateur and professional players. We discuss the contradictions within the rule book and the idea that amateurs make the rules for professionals, which some find perplexing. The conversation highlights the concept of bifurcation, where different rules could apply to amateurs and professionals, especially regarding equipment like golf balls. The idea of a professional tour creating its own set of rules is also considered, with an understanding that any changes would be widely communicated due to the sport's televised nature. We encourage listeners to familiarize themselves with the USGA rules by obtaining a rule book, emphasizing the importance of understanding the regulations while recognizing the debates surrounding them.
After 10 years, the filmmaker and author Alex R. Johnson returns to the podcast. Alex R. Johnson is a writer and filmmaker who lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. His feature film "Two Step" premiered to critical acclaim at SXSW in 2014 and went on to become a New York Times Critic's Pick. His screenplay "Northeast Kingdom" was selected for the 2016 Black List, and his screenplay "Any Rough Times Are Now Behind You" was selected by the Austin Film Society's Artist Intensive lab where he was mentored by late director Jonathan Demme. He also wrote the screenplay adaptation of Ernest Tidyman's novel, "Big Bucks", for Pascal Pictures/Sony Entertainment. Johnson's family hails from the Andes of Ecuador, where their 100-year-old dairy farm still operates. Fans of Richard Price, Charlie Huston, and Jonathan Lethem will love this coming-of-age New York-centric detective noir debut from esteemed filmmaker and screenwriter Alex R. Johnson. New York City, 1998. New York is changing around Nico Kelly, and he can feel more coming. A private investigator and self-proclaimed photographer, Nico is stuck in a loop of city contracts and self loathing. What little middle class there was is disappearing—long-standing factories are moving out and taking their reliable neighborhood jobs with them, and Mayor Rudy Giuliani's police force has the streets in a stranglehold. Nico spends his days looking for fraudsters while taking photos of municipal employees on disability claims. He spends his nights trying to get rid of the nagging feeling that his day job makes him a professional snitch—traversing dive bars, playing pinball, and fighting through the haze of hungover mornings and blurry evenings.Pushing thirty years old and feeling split between his American and Latin heritage, between youth and adulthood, Nico finds himself at a precipice—who is he and what should he become? When Nico witnesses and records a murder during one of his insurance fraud investigations, bodies start to turn up all around him and he's forced into solving a mystery he didn't ask to solve. Humorous, gritty, and real, Nico's search for what it means to be human takes him through the deepest and darkest parts of New York City.

Tess & Gabe do an excellent job of dissecting how this sort of performative virtue signaling and litmus testing alienates and radicalizes people and pushes them into the open arms of hate groups who use kindness as a Trojan horse to grow their ranks. This dovetails with our co-hosts' response to a recent troll comment on one of Boredwalk's social media posts claiming that "content creator" isn't a real job, which is news to all of us, lol. After a nice palate cleanser courtesy of fan Audrey Lucero's positive feedback and customer Kev's review of our Grievance Journal, our intrepid co-hosts send the episode out by sharing their own answers to questions from Boredwalk's Delve Deck conversation card sets! They share their thoughts on the biggest misconceptions about where they live, which sounds instantly stress them out, and the life experiences they've had that ended up being a lot better than they anticipated. We're so pleased to be spending time in your ear balls. Come commiserate & laugh with us!

In this episode of Talking Real Money, Don McDonald and Tom Cock discuss practical strategies for navigating recessions without panic or unnecessary market timing. They critique the constant, fear-driven speculation around economic downturns and emphasize maintaining a disciplined, long-term approach. Highlighting actual investor behavior from Dalbar studies, they explain why market timing almost always results in poorer returns. Tom humorously criticizes aggressive pickup truck drivers and touches on avoiding common recession-investing mistakes, advocating instead for careful asset allocation, understanding emotional risk tolerance, and maintaining a sensible emergency fund.

Dan, Manny, & Billy put the 2023 American crime thriller film The Last Deal to the ultimate test—THE NOSTALGIA TEST (NOW)! “[The Last Deal] is a cautionary tale when your friend is a fucking asshole.” -Dan Dissinger The boys have so much fun talking about all the insanity in the indie action drama The Last Deal. They get into the main character's journey to sell 200 pounds of weed in only a week and to find a .22 bolt action rifle at his mom's ranch. They try to figure out why anyone would trust a friend that you just saw stab a guy with a screwdriver, why do loan sharks need to have a contract signed, the long driving sequences, in the movie, and who is this stable girl and what's her deal. There's also the separate movie the girlfriend is in and why is there a naked woman on the toilet. At the end, Dan, Manny, & Billy give their Nostalgia Test Now verdicts and rate the film.

Ansley Hutchinson and Tess Menzies are back (sans our sickly pal Gabe Sanchez) to play a fun new game called "What's Going On Up There?" where they discuss three of the Trump administrations myriad (and ongoing) failures! First up: Usha & JD Vance's embarrassing imperialist envoy to Greenland! Secondly: Inflation is up, and consumer confidence is down. So much for "fixing" the "broken" economy on "Day One!" (Note: this was recorded prior to the "Liberation Day" press conference that resulted in a historic stock market meltdown that, as of this writing, is still ongoing.) Finally: Unemployment is up, courtesy of hundreds of thousands of federal workers being abruptly laid off, just in time for tariff-induced inflation! Are we great yet or what?! Our co-hosts then discuss the cultural discourse bubbling up about U.S. citizens emigrating to less embarrassing countries and the practicalities and impracticalities associated with such a major life decision. Things wrap up with Tess & Ansley trading personal anecdotes sparked by questions from our Delve Deck conversation card sets! They share stories about seemingly small white lies that backfired on them, and things that they were into before they became popular. We're so pleased to be spending time in your ear balls.

Ansley, Gabe, and Tess are back in action calling out hypocrisy and nonsense left and (especially) right! They point out the obvious projection on display in the Arkansas GOP's efforts to clearly criminalize (yet vaguely define) the innocuous things that constitute "gender-affirming social transitioning" activities that give them the ick. What snowflakes! Tess also touches on the role that mockery and satire plays in fighting authoritarianism, Gabe dissects the extrajudicial grotesqueries that ICE and the DOJ are engaged in to keep us safe from autism activists & gay makeup artists, and Ansley dives into the distressing difficulties that both full U.S. citizens and legal green card & work visa holders are having coming and going between the U.S. and other countries. No wonder France wants the Statue of Liberty back! Our co-hosts then discuss the latest dispatches from the Land of the Trolls before giving a shoutout to happy customer Arto for his glowing review of our Delve Deck Joy Edition. The team wraps things up with personal stories sparked by questions from our Delve Deck conversation card sets! They share which musical artists they never want to hear again, where they would hide out during a zombie apocalypse, and what their favorite memories are. Always end on an up note!

In this episode of Matt Likes Beer, Matt takes on a classic German lager: Weihenstephaner Festbier. As a prime example of the Festbier style, this beer is lighter and more sessionable than its Oktoberfest Märzen cousin, making it a modern staple of Munich's famous festival. Despite some initial frustrations with technical difficulties and misplaced BJCP study materials, Matt delivers a comprehensive review of this iconic brew. He shares insights on the Festbier style, its relation to Oktoberfest traditions, and the nuances of its malt-forward, doughy, and floral characteristics. This episode includes: A BJCP-style evaluation, with the Festbier scoring an impressive 42 out of 50. A discussion on the differences between Festbier and Märzen, highlighting why both styles are synonymous with Oktoberfest. Humorous low-star reviews, including one lamenting it “looked like it was made in 1976.” Whether you're a fan of traditional German beers or just looking for a crisp, clean lager to enjoy, this episode offers something for every beer lover.
