In Defense of the RidiculousI have changed what I write about.Not because I ran out of sermons, meditations, and folktales, but because the world sounds too much like a pulpiteer—long, loud, and entirely devoid of mirth. I turned to absurdity the way a drowning man turns to air: instinctively, and with no guarantee of survival.The stories I tell now, about bureaucratic saints, apologetic corpses, and squirrels gripped by metaphysical doubt, are not escapism. They are my form of rebellion against the great and humorless seriousness that has settled like ash over everything. When truth is wrapped in outrage and irony is sold by subscription, I find it infinitely more honest to laugh at the machinery of it all. Laughter, after all, is the last confession left to the sane.Writing absurdly regulates me. It is how I wrestle anxiety back into its proper shape: comic, tragic, and faintly ridiculous. Each story is a kind of exorcism performed with a raised eyebrow. In a world addicted to doom and discourse, I prefer to light a small, deranged candle and watch reality dance round it.I am not writing to make sense of the world. I am writing to remind myself, and anyone still listening, that sense was never the point. Meaning lives in the margins: in a saint's paperwork gone wrong, a machine that apologizes to trees, or a resurrected tax assessor asking for a coffee break.The world is absurd. So, I intend to meet it on its own terms, double espresso in one hand, keyboard in the other, laughing just loudly enough to stay human. —D.

#194: What if the best part of your plans is the part where nothing happens? This week, I share a soul-soothing weekend that swapped spectacle for substance: a glowing 21+ Halloween night at the botanical gardens, a book club meet-up by a fire pit, and a Pearls and Prosecco bridal shower that left me believing in big love again.We start with the garden event..... warm air when I wanted crisp fall, neon swings, and the kind of cocktail line that tests your will to live. I found sanctuary in a shorter line and a cinnamon-kissed sangria that tasted like sweater weather. The real magic happened off the path, huddled around a fire with friends who know the power of unhurried talk. From there, we dive into my ongoing saga with audiobooks versus podcasts and what attention really means when life is already full of noise.Then the vibe flips: a bridal shower for a friend whose joy fills the room. We fold paper flowers, lose graciously, and win on spirit. I spiral over a “dressy but casual in black” dress code, then remember the only rule that matters..... wear what lets you stand taller. Along the way, I confess my anti-horror stance with stories from haunted houses I barely survived and how choosing gentle fun is not boring, it's intentional. The throughline is simple: small gatherings, shared laughter, and people who check on you are the real markers of a full life.If you're craving connection without the chaos, this one's for you. Hit play, settle in, and let a cozy, honest recap remind you that the little moments count. If something here made you smile or think, subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a quick review—it helps more cozy souls find us.You can now send us a text to ask a question or review the show. We would love to hear from you! Follow me on social: https://www.instagram.com/babbles_nonsense/

Cristiana Dell'Anna—celebrated for her cinematic flair and proud Neapolitan roots—brings vibrant energy to our latest deep dive into Italian American culture. We open with a whimsical idea: a Neapolitan-themed Sesame Street, setting the tone for a lively conversation that stretches from Abruzzo to Sicily. With humor and heart, we touch on everything from the sacred Sunday pot of gravy to iconic places like “Sopranoland,” tracing the indelible mark Italian culture has left on the American imagination. Cristiana's reflections on Southern Italy add both authenticity and emotional depth, making this episode as engaging as it is heartfelt. Our journey through Naples moves beyond culture into the city's boundless culinary creativity. Listeners are treated to the chaotic charm of a true Neapolitan kitchen—complete with a turkey baster pressed into heroic service while crafting the perfect rum baba. This story captures the ingenuity and joyful improvisation that define Campania's spirit, showing how resourcefulness in the kitchen mirrors the resilience of its people. Along the way, we also explore the evolution of    American identity, paying tribute to figures like Mother Cabrini as we weave together personal anecdotes and historical threads that celebrate a shared heritage. The conversation then turns reflective, examining how Italian culture is portrayed in modern media—from the raw realism of Gomorrah to the poignant storytelling of The King of Laughter. We consider how film and television shape, challenge, and sometimes distort the Italian image abroad. With a nod to the global revival of Italian cinema, we close with cautious optimism for its continued recognition and artistic growth. Ending on a lighthearted note, we share tales of on-set meals and the laughter that binds us—reminding listeners that, through all its transformations, the Italian American legacy endures: rich in passion, creativity, and community.    HER SOCIALS:  Instagram: @cristianadellanna_official Facebook: Cristiana Dell'Anna X: @CrisDellAnna

0:00 - We have no idea what to make of this Broncos vs Giants game coming up on Sunday. The Giants look rejuvinated with Jaxson Dart under center. The Broncos have to readjust from the London trip without a bye week. But, Dart is still a rookie. And this Broncos defense is great at making rookie QBs suffer.17:09 - Let's not get too excited about preseason...but that being said...the Nuggets looked good last night vs the Bulls at Ball Arena! Murray looks lean and ready to roll. Valanciunas looks like an actual backup center who can get physical in the post and share minutes with Jokic. This revamped lineup already seems like the real deal.34:07 - Lane Kiffin took a hilarious shot at one of his peers during his presser yesterday. It's a great zinger off the top of his head. That turned into a discussion about laugher: fake laughter, real laughter, pity laughter, forced laughter, you name it. Laughter in its many forms.

Cass Sunstein, Harvard professor and author of the new book On Liberalism: in Defense of Freedom, joins Offline to examine whether small-l "liberal" values like freedom, human rights, and the rule of law will be able to survive an illiberal president. Cass compares and contrasts what Trump and Vance are doing with the actions of the Bush and Reagan administrations, debates whether liberalism is a strong enough antidote to fascism, and reveals his #1 pop obsession.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

Today I'm delighted to welcome back Elizabeth Glenn-Copeland who previously joined me to share her amazing wisdom and some of her soulful poetry from her incredible book Daring To Hope at the Cliff's Edge in Episode 35. Elizabeth is currently on a UK and Europe tour with her composer husband Beverly Glenn-Copeland, if you have the opportunity to see them live then I highly recommend it. They also have a beautiful new album Laughter in Summer which is available for Pre-order: https://beverlyglenncopeland.comToday we honour the incredible legacy of one of Elizabeth's cherished mentors Joanna Macy environmental activist, author and scholar of Buddhism, general systems theory and deep ecology who transitioned from this world in July 2025. Elizabeth guides us with poetry and gentle compassion to explore some of the principles of The Work That Reconnects, which Joanna created as the ground-breaking framework for personal and social change that helps people take the despair and apathy we feel and transform it into constructive, collaborative action. From gratitude and honouring the pain we witness in ourselves and the world around us, to finding a new story and vision to hold as we move forward and write the future for the earth and humanity that we want to bring into being. Remember Hope is a verb, it is meant to be active not passive, it is a practice that we must tend daily to cultivate the change we want to see in our world.Learn more about  ElizabethElizabeth Glenn-Copeland is a writer, theatre maker and arts educator whose career over the last forty years has evolved at the intersection of arts and activism. She has long had a passion for communicating with the animate world that began in childhood high up in the arms of an old weeping willow. Fast forward sixty years -- Elizabeth is offered a writing residency at the Joggins Fossil Institute, a UNESCO World Heritage site on the mighty Bay of Fundy. She jumps at the chance to connect/converse with 300 million-year-old-rock, to go to Stone as supplicant, to fully engage with sea and sand and sky and winged helpers to deepen her connection to the living world. What emerged was a narrative of the odyssey in poetic form, “Daring to Hope at the Cliff's Edge: Pangea's Dream Remembered”.Music journalist, Nick Storring says of the this work:“Lyrical, bewildering, heartening, and unsettling, this work sees an individual voice reckoning with the overwhelming complexity of our present moment.”Elizabeth lives in Hamilton, Ontario with her composer husband, Beverly Glenn-Copeland.Purchase ‘Daring to Hope…': https://chapelstreeteditions.com/book-catagories/poetry/daring-to-hope-at-the-cliffs-edge/Instagram: @beverlyglenncopelandDiscover the work of Joanna Macy: https://www.joannamacy.net/The Work That Reconnects: https://workthatreconnects.org/Support the showThank you for being part of this journey with me, please Subscribe so you don't miss our future episodes, leave a review & share with friends to help these messages ripple out across the world.

Send us a textThe car is moving, the mics are live, and Big Energy fills the cabin. We welcome Steve from Cleveland's southeast side—a former class clown turned campus champion—who proves that humor, heart, and hard work can live in the same room. We trade locker room stories and tight five timing, then unpack what makes a great set: reading the crowd, owning the mic, and turning a heckle into momentum. If you've ever wondered what the comedy grind really looks like beyond the hour on stage, this conversation pulls the curtain back on writing, booking, producing, and staying sharp when the room gets spicy.The heart of the ride dives into learning differences and inclusive education. We share a visual learner's path through dyslexia and explore why “instruction” isn't the same as “education.” Steve brings receipts from his work in multicultural affairs—building community, addressing food insecurity and housing stability, and asking the one question that changes a student's day: “How are you doing today?” It's a masterclass in belonging, practical resources, and the kind of care that helps young adults carry on with their studies and their lives.Then the story hits a different gear: performing for 400 incarcerated people and hearing that 20 minutes of jokes bought six months of peace. That moment reframes what “crushing” means and shows how laughter can be a service, not just a show. We wrap with creator ownership and a dream in motion: The Emerald Boot, a comedy club and kitchen blending Irish and Italian comfort with stage time for rising comics. There's tactical advice on pop-ups, programming, and learning adjacent skills so you can build your own room—and hold the door open for others. Stick around for the Fast Fiddy Five and a final word on kindness, marriage, and money wisdom that actually travels.If this ride moved you, follow the show, share it with a friend, and drop a quick review.

Take your calling seriously and yourself lightly   Summary Are you taking parenting a little too seriously? In this episode, we dive into why families need to throw off the burden of “psychological correctness” and rediscover the gift of humor. Parenting isn't a project—it's a wild, messy adventure! We'll share why secure parents can laugh at their mistakes, how to set healthy limits at your table, and how to teach kids the difference between fun teasing and disrespect. Most of all, we'll remind you that your children are a never-ending source of laugh-worthy moments.  This week we're joined by the always witty and wise Dr. Ray Guarendi, who brings his trademark humor and insight to help parents embrace joy, laughter, and freedom in family life. Key Takeaways Throw off “psychological correctness”! The gift of humor has been taken away from modern parents because most parents are now overly worried about every word they say.   Parents need to take themselves lightly and stop making parenting into a psychological project.  Those parents who are insecure can't laugh at themselves.  You know you are secure when you can laugh at your mistakes and find humor in the craziness of family life.  You decide the limits are your table and teach the difference between good-natured teasing and disrespect.  Remember and celebrate that kids are natural sources of laugh-worthy material for life!    Couple Discussion Questions Are we able to laugh at ourselves and our mistakes even with our kids?  What are some of the funny things that have happened in our family?  How can we remember these?    Resources Dr Ray website:  https://www.drray.com/   Take our 2025 Listener Survey!    Everything we do here at the Messy Family Project is for couples and families! We work hard to support and encourage moms and dads as they do the hard work of raising children, managing homes and forming a solid, Catholic family culture.   In our survey this year, we are asking for you to share with us some of your greatest challenges and what resources will help you the most.

A Legendary Life of Faith, Family, and Laughter with Jeff Foxworthy (Part 2) What if the very things the world tells you will make you happy—fame, wealth, recognition—turn out to be the biggest illusions of all? In this powerful continuation of my conversation with Jeff Foxworthy, one of the most successful comedians of all time, we go beyond the laughs to uncover the faith, humility, and life lessons that have shaped the man behind the jokes. In Part 1, Jeff opened up about his childhood, the pain of an absent father, and how comedy became both a calling and a gift from God. In Part 2, we go even deeper. Jeff reveals what it felt like to stand terrified behind the curtain of The Tonight Show moments before Johnny Carson called him to the stage—and how that leap of faith launched his career. He shares stories of living as the “underdog,” being mentored by Chick-fil-A founder Truett Cathy, and why he believes encouragement is one of the most powerful forces in the world. But what struck me most is Jeff's unwavering commitment to living out his faith. From ministering to the homeless community, to teaching his children and grandchildren that kindness and effort matter more than status, Jeff shows us what it means to use your platform for purpose. This conversation is full of wisdom about letting go of control, trusting God's plan, and remembering that our true identity is not in what we do, but in who we are as children of God. This is one of those rare interviews that's both deeply moving and practical. Jeff talks about how to discover and honor the gifts you've been given, why you don't need to be 100% ready to take a leap, and how suffering can become the soil where your greatest impact is born. I promise you—this episode will stay with you long after it ends. Key Takeaways: Why you'll never feel 100% “ready”—and why you need to jump anyway How childhood wounds can become seeds of compassion and service The secret to storytelling and connection that made Jeff a comedy legend Why encouragement is one of the most underrated superpowers you can give away How to let go, surrender control, and live with unshakable faith This conversation isn't just about comedy—it's about courage, calling, and living a life of eternal impact.
