    In this unflinching portrait, Roseanne sits down to exclusively to tell her life story. She recounts her unusual childhood of growing up Jewish in Salt Lake City, Utah, and how her rebellious nature started by eating a Spam sandwich. She explains that her ability to create jokes came from making her father laugh so he wouldn't punish her. She retells the harrowing events that led up to her taking the stage at a comedy club in Denver, where she was able to establish a local following with her "Funny Womanness" routine and a unique approach to humor.At the encouragement of touring comedians, Roseanne traveled to Los Angeles and instantly found success at The Comedy Store. In record time, Roseanne was invited to appear on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. The audience couldn't get enough of the "Domestic Goddess." Her whirlwind career gained momentum when singer Julio Iglesias invited her to be his opening act and comedic legend Rodney Dangerfield asked her to play his wife on his 1986 HBO special, and she then landed two HBO specials of her own. This success culminated in her groundbreaking sitcom, Roseanne. The series quickly replaced The Cosby Show at the top of the ratings. But the TV show provided many challenges for Roseanne, as she battled writers over the show content and her character. She describes what she had to do to make it her show and not a group of Ivy League graduate writers' warped perception of middle America.Roseanne recounts the disastrous night she sang "The Star-Spangled Banner" at a San Diego Padres game. This was her first encounter with "cancel culture," when President George H.W. Bush spoke out against her. Her show remained at the top until she decided to end it after nine seasons. She went on to host her own talk show. During one episode, she told guest Donald Trump that he needed to run for president, although she staged a presidential campaign first as the Green Party candidate in 2012. After Trump won in 2016, Roseanne found herself reviving her Roseanne sitcom to record-breaking ratings.The success didn't last long, due to a late-night tweet while on Ambien, which quickly derailed everything. Roseanne recounts the story of how her network swiftly removed her from her show. "Cancel Culture" had her blacklisted and she was shunned by everyone outside of Fox News and Dr. Oz.In Roseanne Barr Is America, Roseanne calls out her detractors and defends her reputation that so many have sought to destroy. Roseanne is defiant as she describes how those that came for her are also seeking to ruin America.Roseanne Barr Is America includes an exclusive interview with Roseanne Barr, exclusive home movies and photographs from her youth, clips of her appearances on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, behind the scenes footage from Roseanne, highlights from her Presidential campaign, and even video proof that she can sing "The Star-Spangled Banner" at a ballgame.Roseanne Barr.

IAAPA Expo 2025, happening in Orlando, Florida, from November 17th through 21st.

Don't miss it — we won't! Every year, Matt embarks on a coaster-packed adventure known as CoasterNerdCon (CNC), and this time, the journey took him across Europe to explore some of the continent's most iconic theme parks. While the thrills were plenty, the biggest takeaways came from the unique operational practices, cultural nuances, and creative design elements that make European parks distinct. In this episode, Matt and Josh talk about Matt's CNC 2025 trip and what the U.S. attractions industry can learn from parks in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, and beyond. Parking Efficiency and Operational Design "You pay for parking on the way out." In contrast to the standard U.S. practice of paying for parking upon arrival, European parks often collect parking fees as guests exit. This adjustment alleviates early morning bottlenecks and allows guests to flow into the parks more smoothly. Matt noted the process was surprisingly efficient, especially when paired with mobile QR code systems. Cultural Influence on Park Hours and Expectations "Europeans want to go home for dinner." Many parks Matt visited closed as early as 6 or 7 PM—a surprising shift from the late-night hours common in the United States. This practice aligns with European cultural norms around evening family dinners, emphasizing how societal values shape operational decisions, even at the cost of potential late-night revenue. Quiet Platforms and Safety through Simplicity "There were no loud spiels... just a thumbs up and you go." Matt observed that European ride platforms are notably quieter than their American counterparts. Without booming safety announcements, parks rely on body language, gestures, and rider intuition—reflecting a different approach to liability and guest trust, possibly stemming from less litigious cultures. Laughter is Universal "Smiles, laughter… it doesn't matter what language you're speaking." Whether at a German theme park or a splash pad in Chicago, Matt and Josh reflected on how joy transcends language. Laughter, excitement, and human connection provide a universal language—an important reminder for guest-facing teams everywhere. The Power of Industry Connections "You must be one of us." Matt recounted how introductions from one industry peer led to behind-the-scenes access, personal tours, and new friendships. These moments underscore the importance of professional networking within the attractions industry and the unique camaraderie shared by theme park enthusiasts. Constraints Fuel Creativity "There's no trademark on creativity." Parks like Efteling and Phantasialand thrive despite physical limitations like land usage caps or height restrictions. Instead of seeing these as barriers, they use them to drive innovation. Layered layouts, immersive theming, and integrated storytelling show how limitations can lead to imaginative breakthroughs. Authenticity vs. Theming "Is it still theming when it feels this real?" Europa Park's recreation of European countries felt so authentic that Matt questioned whether it crossed from themed design into genuine reality. Unlike caricature-style lands, these parks replicate realistic environments with subtlety and accuracy—offering immersion without overstated fantasy. Cross-Cultural Communication "Body language and gestures became our best tools." Though Matt doesn't speak German or Dutch, navigating the parks was easier than expected thanks to signage, body language, and intuitive design. The experience heightened his empathy for international visitors to U.S. parks and reinforced the value of non-verbal communication. Reawakening the Park Brain "I was using a part of my brain I hadn't used in a while." Visiting unfamiliar parks reactivated Matt's instincts as a theme park guest. Without relying on familiarity, he had to think critically and observe cues—an experience that reminded him how important way finding and signage are for first-time visitors. Doing More Than You Have To "They didn't have to do that—but they did." Matt highlighted dozens of examples where parks went beyond expectations: themed observation decks, treetop walkways, immersive queue shows, and even whimsical guardrails. These touches exemplify how small creative choices elevate the entire experience and build long-term guest loyalty. From logistics to laughter, from constraints to creativity, CNC 2025 provided Matt with profound insights into what makes theme parks in Europe not just operationally efficient but emotionally impactful. Whether it's walking a new path, connecting with a fellow professional, or reimagining what's possible within your budget, there are countless lessons to be found when you look beyond your own borders.

    Episode 146, The Philosophy of Comedy (Part I - The Nature of Humour)

    In 2021, Netflix released His Dark Material, a Christmas stand-up special by Irish–British comedian Jimmy Carr. The show sparked international outrage. Toward the end of the set, Carr delivered what he called a ‘career ender' – a joke about the Holocaust, in which he described the Nazis' murder of thousands of ‘Gypsies' as a ‘positive'. The Holocaust Memorial Day Trust, the Auschwitz Memorial, and the UK government condemned the joke as ‘appalling', ‘abhorrent', and ‘racist'; Carr, critics said, was trading on the ‘last acceptable form of racism'. Comedy touches every part of our lives. We tell jokes at the pub, around the dinner table, and by the office coffee machine. We all know someone who makes us laugh – and someone who seems to take things too far. But is there a line when it comes to humour? And if there is, who gets to draw it? Should we suspend our moral judgements when the lights go down and the curtain goes up? Or do jokes, like most speech acts, carry moral weight? To answer these questions, we need to understand the nature of comedy itself – what exactly it is we're responding to when we laugh. Humour might be a release of nervous tension, a playful disruption of expectations, or – more troublingly, if it applies to Carr's joke – a means of asserting social superiority. No doubt, comedy has the power to shape our culture and perceptions. But, as we'll find out, it also tells us something about who we are, who we ought to be, and the things we value most.

    Send us a textRaw, unfiltered, and surprisingly emotional – this episode pulls back the curtain on what really happens in ministry marriages when husbands travel for church work and wives "hold down the fort." When one wife admits to sobbing before her husband's departure only to discover he was secretly crying too, the conversation transforms into an honest exploration of attachment, independence, and the delicate balancing act of ministry life.The Almost Sisters share their unvarnished truths about supporting their husbands' calling while maintaining their own identities. "I wish we could have done more," one wife confesses about connecting with other ministry spouses during a recent separation – highlighting the often-overlooked challenge of isolation in ministry families. Their candid discussion reveals how ministry couples navigate the competing demands of church, family, and self-care without resentment consuming their relationships.Laughter erupts throughout as the couples expose their quirks – from one husband's supernatural ability to "sniff out Chinese restaurants" in any location to pregnancy-induced emotional rollercoasters. These moments of levity showcase how humor becomes essential glue in long-term relationships, especially during stressful ministry seasons.Most powerful is the group's collective wisdom about intentional connection. "I love doing little things like trips to Jonesboro, movie nights at home," one husband shares, revealing how simple touchpoints often matter more than elaborate gestures. The episode concludes with practical insights for maintaining relationship health while serving others – making it essential listening for any couple struggling to balance vocational calling with family priorities.What strategies have you found to stay connected with your spouse during busy ministry seasons?

    This week's guest is the incomparable Hughie Batherson—a man who doesn't just talk about what matters to him, he acts on it. From learning French as an adult to becoming a bilingual performer, Hughie embodies dedication, curiosity, and courage. His first-ever attempt at standup comedy? He won a Juste pour rire (Just for Laughs) competition. Since then, he's become a sought-after comic and motivational speaker across the country.   Hughie shares how he doesn't consider himself funny in his day-to-day life, but brings infectious energy to the stage—where humour becomes his tool for connection, education, and impact. A former teacher and professor with a Master's in Education focused on the role of humour in learning, Hughie brings both heart and hilarity to every audience he meets.   We chat about language, taking creative risks, and the power of storytelling—and we were surprised and thrilled when he gifted us a signed Drake Batherson jersey (his NHL-star nephew!). We also chat about his Cape Breton roots, his recent performance at Togetherland Art Gallery's Open Mic night and how we all know we'll be friends well beyond the show!   Watch this episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@mikeandkristen   Join our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/mikeandkristen   Us on the web: www.mikeandkristen.ca Instagram: www.instagram.com/mike_and_kristen/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mikeandkristencreative Shoot us a message!
