“Would you buy an NHL game with Steven Lorentz on it?” “I mean… yes?” Shove this up your stocking! Bree and Mike Stephens get surprisingly all up in their feelings for a classic Christmas comfort watch: The Simpsons Season 7's “Marge Be Not Proud.” We start Freud-raging, discussing the dynamic between mothers and sons, tough love, the lack of 90's schmaltzy Christmas movies, the pain of Bart, and, of course, video game culture, uh huh?. Plus, a lot about Lawrence Tierney, that's right. Well, try to have a Merry Christmas.

On this episode, Mike Stephens and Rachel Doerrie discuss Ryan McDonough being re-aquired by Tampa Bay and how signing bonuses work (00:00-15:54). They then breakdown Sheldon Keefe being hired by New Jersey (15:54-35:17) and Craig Berube officially being hired by Toronto (35:17-END).Jumpstart helps kids overcome financial barriers to sport.

Happy HoliDunst, everyone! Welcome to five days of continuous podcasts about our favourite Kirsten Dunst movies. On the first day, Bree and Mike Stephens take a stroll through the toy aisle and into a simpler time – a time when we were weirdly casual about guns, bomb threats and abject cruelty. Joe Dante's Small Soldiers was famously panned, but as Bree and Mike look back at this movie, they find that it might be… almost good? There's some brilliant one-liners, an absolutely charming final performance from Phil Hartman and, of course, Kirsten Dunst shines against the snoozy Gregory Smith. Also, does David Cross secretly suck as an actor? Anyway, chainsaw skateboard!!

Let's get into the storiesSOURCES: The Heartland Collective, Wisconsin Examiner, Missouri Independent, River Front Times, Kansas Reflector The saga of a STL bar owner and police crash continueshttps://www.riverfronttimes.com/news/st-louis-police-didnt-do-toxicology-test-after-bar-pm-crash-41488321From article: The St. Louis police officer behind the wheel of the SUV that smashed into Bar:PM in the early hours of Monday morning had no toxicology test done on him in the wake of the incident.At their weekly briefing, St. Louis Metropolitan Police Lieutenant Colonel Renee Kriesmann said that no such test was conducted on the officer because the police only do those tests when there is a "reasonable suspicion" of drug or alcohol use, which police didn't feel was the case following the crash.The fact that police crashed their vehicle into the LGBTQ bar and then arrested one of its co-owners, Chad Morris, made news nationwide and drew condemnation from city leaders. President of the Board of Aldermen Megan Green wrote on twitter that the "incident demonstrates the need for greater oversight of law enforcement — citizen oversight in particular."Missouri GOP loses again, in Courthttps://theheartlandcollective.com/2023/12/19/missouri-gop-loses-in-court-again/From Article: This past January, a law went into effect that the degenerate GOP Missouri lawmakers passed into law in 2022. Said (and now overturned, we'll get to that in a sec) law criminalized sleeping on state-owned land, making that a Class C misdemeanor. Cities, per this ridiculous travesty of a law, could have been penalized by our unelected attorney general if the law wasn't enforced.Advocates for unhoused people took immediate action, filing suit against the state. In a unanimous decision, the Missouri Supreme Court struck down the law. This is a win for the Legal Services of Eastern Missouri, a Springfield homeless shelter, and Public Citizen Litigation Group. Because the bill was passed as an amendment to another piece of legislation, the court found that it violated a constitutional mandate for legislation to have a “single subject and clear purpose.”In the unanimous opinion, Judge Paul C. Wilson wrote: “It takes an extraordinary showing to convince this court to engage in judicial surgery to save a bill infected with the otherwise fatal constitutional disease of multiple subjects…and no effort was made by any party to make such a showing here.”Unlike my producer Adam Sommer, I don't speak law for a living, but I'm pretty sure that a unanimous court opinion citing “fatal constitutional disease” is…bad. That's bad, right? President Biden made a stop in Wisconsin recentlyhttps://wisconsinexaminer.com/2023/12/20/bidens-wisconsin-visit-highlights-black-small-business-growth-milwaukee-revitalization-project/From Article: With his visit to Milwaukee, including a talk at the Wisconsin Black Chamber of Commerce as well as a stop at the shop of a Black plumbing contractor, President Joe Biden underscored his administration's economic focus on the middle class Wednesday.Biden touted the addition of 15 million jobs since he took office after the brief COVID-19 pandemic recession. “We're doing it by building an economy from the middle out and the bottom up, not the top down.  Not a whole lot trickled down on my dad's kitchen table with a top-down economy,” he said. “But when you [build from the middle], when you increase the middle class, the poor have a shot and the wealthy still do very well, the middle class does well, and we all do well.”In his remarks to the chamber, Biden highlighted the administration's $15 billion project to replace lead pipes across the country, including in Milwaukee, part of the bipartisan infrastructure law enacted in 2021. Missouri GOP Speaker of the House spent $29,000 tax payer money on furniture, including $5,000 for a custom fridge cabinethttps://missouriindependent.com/2023/12/20/in-a-statehouse-short-on-space-dean-plocher-converted-an-office-into-a-liquor-pantry/From article: For four years, state Rep. Mike Stephens occupied prime real estate on the third floor of the Missouri Capitol.His office in room 306B certainly wasn't the biggest in the space-starved statehouse, where staff often work out of musty, windowless rooms, and many lawmakers are stacked on top of each other in non-ADA compliant mezzanines. House Speaker Dean Plocher took over that space and converted it into what has been jokingly referred to as his “butler's pantry,” a makeshift storage room stocked with liquor, beer, wine and soda to complement the supply in his office.The move was part of a $60,000 renovation of Plocher's office in late 2022 and early 2023, paid for with public funds by the House. Half the costs stemmed from expenses resulting from repairs to walls, baseboards and ceilings in the speaker's office. The other half, according to records obtained by The Independent through Missouri's Sunshine Law, went towards new furnishings — to the tune of about $29,000, including $8,600 for a black leather sofa and armchairs, $2,500 for a new walnut table, $2,500 for a refrigerator with an ice maker, $5,000 for a custom cabinet to hold the refrigerator and $385 for two walnut trash can bins. Kansas Gov Kelly Stands Firm On Education and Medicaidhttps://kansasreflector.com/2023/12/21/kelly-not-drawn-to-horse-trade-compromise-on-school-choice-to-win-medicaid-expansion/From article: Top priorities of Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly and Republican Senate President Ty Masterson collide in January when the Kansas Legislature convenes for the 2024 session.Kelly left no doubt her central objective would be to convince at least 63 representatives and 21 senators — simple majorities of the House and Senate — to vote for passage of a bill expanding eligibility for government health benefits through Medicaid to 150,000 lower-income Kansans.Senate President Ty Masterson and House Speaker Dan Hawkins, the GOP centers of power in the Capitol, are committed to advancing a bill delivering millions in state tax dollars to private schools through scholarships, savings accounts or vouchers. Their numerical challenge is bigger than Kelly's. They'll likely need two-thirds majorities — 84 in the House, 27 in the Senate — to override a Kelly veto on private school funding. Finally, reporting in Missouri is highlighting a private group working hard to push private religious schooling and its connections to other “school choice” organizationshttps://missouriindependent.com/2023/07/10/nonprofit-near-kansas-city-seeks-to-become-epicenter-of-the-school-choice-movement/From article: The headquarters of the Herzog Foundation sits on the edge of Smithville, in an 18,000-square-foot stone and glass building on a corner lot across the street from a cornfield on a gravel-lined highway.Few Missouians have likely heard of the Stanley M. Herzog Charitable Foundation, or the organization's namesake. But the unassuming locale masks what has been described as the “epicenter of the school-choice movement.”Stan Herzog's political largesse bankrolled a generation of conservative candidates and causes in Missouri, pouring through a constellation of political action committees and nonprofits. When he died in 2019, he set aside $300 million to start a foundation dedicated to expanding the reach of Christian education.That mission kicked into overdrive in 2021, when Missouri lawmakers created a tax credit to support scholarships to help low-income students and those with disabilities attend private schools. Since then, a subsidiary of the Herzog Foundation has distributed almost half of the scholarships in the state. @TheHeartlandPOD on Twitter and ThreadsCo-HostsAdam Sommer @Adam_Sommer85 (Twitter) @adam_sommer85 (Post)Rachel Parker @msraitchetp (Post) Sean Diller (no social)The Heartland Collective - Sign Up Today!JOIN PATREON FOR MORE - AND JOIN OUR SOCIAL NETWORK!“Change The Conversation”Outro Song: “The World Is On Fire” by American Aquarium http://www.americanaquarium.com/

For decades, politics, security and economics in the Middle East has been inextricably linked to the USA. Today, however, Washington increasingly views the Middle East as a fly-over region – one that is largely absent from US policy. The space where America is now absent has been occupied by both China and Russia: the former having successfully negotiated a new era of diplomatic relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia (not an unsubstantial achievement). Peter talks to Mike Stephens about what we might have missed in the Gulf, and why – despite inherent instabilities – there is cause for hope.

Patreon Patreon and listener of the show, Mike Stephens, recently sent in a message with a lot of questions. Some required extra context to answer so we connected for a call and I thought it would be fun to record the conversation being that some of his questions are fairly common and Im pretty sure other folks have some of the same ones.

In life, we have the opportunity to meet some remarkable people. Those individuals are often quietly determined to serve others and make a meaningful impact.   I met Mike Stephens, Founder, Director and Lead Consultant of Meridian Agriculture, as an overly enthusiastic and bullish 25-year-old. I have regarded him as a role model and mentor ever since.   One of Australian agriculture's truly great personalities, Mike has dedicated his career to farmers, to families getting on and to effective farm succession. Two and a half years ago, he completed the largest piece of research into farm succession globally. The insights from this are significant, and Mike shares some of them with us in this interview.   Combined with this is Mike's incredible ability to communicate and facilitate. As others committed to helping with succession, the depth and accuracy of the questions he asks of individuals and families and the process he takes you through to optimise a succession outcome for you is deeply impressive.   Mike and his team at Meridian Ag are experts in this space and are available to help you move through the succession planning process.   You can find them here: https://meridian-ag.com.au/   I think it is fair to say he and they are qualified to do so!   Congratulations, Mike, on a lifetime of work helping farming families across Australia and overseas to create legacies that can transcend generations. Congratulations also on 40 years in farm consultancy.   For an article overviewing Mike's findings, click here.   Thank you for your contribution, hard work and quiet, respectful determination to make an impact.   It is always great to connect with those that have in some way shaped you.   To all of you, I hope that this serves you.   Hutch & Team

What do Bob Odenkirk and Isabelle Fuhrman have in common? What the hell are people on re: Us all of a sudden? Was this album Kendrick's first miss? How dare the Duffer Brothers create characters people are emotionally invested in and then give that emotional investment payoff? Is Prey not being released theatrically one of the biggest let-downs of all time? Plus, Liz is overtaken by the spirit of Tom Cruise and his movie magic, and if you listen closely, you just might hear a call-out of a good Mike Stephens tweet.

I first spoke with Mike, about 3 years ago, when a burgeoning interest in the wellbeing of medics working in a dysfunctional system became a passion I wanted to understand more about.

A calm perfuses through his sharings throughout.A wonderful treasure of a conversation covering vulnerability, to pressured schedules, to being part of a team. So many gems in this.

HabsFan vs. LeafsFan - Season 2, Episode 24.HvL is Kamal Rehman (HabsFan) and Ari Shapiro (LeafsFan)Opening Sketch: The World According to Mike Babcock (0:00)We're thrilled to bring you an extended sketch filled with outrageous amounts of Toronto references and some surreal cameos including Elon Musk, Josh Donaldson, and Bill Gates. Our budget for 2018 has clearly been the difference with our guest list and this opener will (hopefully) leave you howling with glee and (definitely) researching the power of vehicular space travel. This is also an unusually long sketch with thinly-veiled double entendres and hidden meanings so take your time and listen with a sandwich.HvL SportsDesk (3:48)Rehman & Shapiro have ruthlessly kidnapped this week's predictable banter slot and replaced it with some kind of strange and incredibly unpredictable SNL-style sportsdesk news update armed with equal parts sardonic humour, genuine serendipity, and a taste of delicious irony. We're not sure if it works but we're certain the internet will let us know like it always does.Exclusive interview with Omar White (@OLW93) of A Winning Habit (@FSAWinningHabit) (12:28).We're tickled pink to be joined by celebrated writer, blogger, social media bon vivant and former Royal Rumble winner, Omar White - site expert of our Montreal Canadiens affiliate. Mr. White isn't just a beacon of NHL knowledge and hockey insight, but rumour has it that he once defeated James Tanner, Mike Stephens, and Baltimore Dave in the squared circle just to prove he's the greatest wrestler on FanSided and in Southern Ontario. There's no stopping this kind of infamy!

HabsFan vs. LeafsFan - Season 2, Episode 23.Kamal Rehman (HabsFan) and Ari Shapiro (LeafsFan).The Colin Campbell Method (0:00)We're thrilled to bring you an unauthorized look at a recent meeting between the former and present Directors of Player Safety: Colin Campbell and George Parros - complete with three audio examples of delusional thinking, recurring hypocrisy, and good old boy fraternity. It's basically a twisted French version of modern NHL democracy at work.HvL Banter (2:42)Kamal and Ari reflect on the inconsistency of executing basic hockey rules and why the league is suffering enormously by treating their fans with the same elitism used in present day automobile manufacturing, streetcar innovations, and anything remotely associated with overpriced internet and/or cell phone service.LeafsFan Rant (16:22)Shapiro argues that Marner and Nylander have failed to live up to expectations rather miserably when they should clearly be leading the Atlantic on the strength of Leo Komarov's checks from behind.HabsFan Rant (18:20)Rehman explores the recurring nightmare of mathematical realities when it comes to the Habs and insists on the merits of tanking. He also insists on the merits behind higher drafting positions and treating fans with basic decency.Exclusive interviews with Mike Stephens (@mikeystephens81) & Josh Tessler (@JTesslerSports) (20:50).We're pleased to bring you one of the site experts and writers at Editor-in-Leaf, one of our FanSided affiliates that helps Toronto fans understand the politics, economics, and history behind their beloved Maple Leafs. You haven't heard soothsaying like this since we had Omar White and Andrew Berkshire fight to the death in our gladiatorial arena.

Our first cast is with Steve Johnson on the South Coast who is very keen on promoting “Fishing for the Future”, Steve is organising an event for young Aboriginal fisherwomen.  Steve also gives us some handy St Georges Basin Flathead tips. The longest river in Tasmania and one of Australia’s best trout streams is now far more accessible, Mike Stephens from Launceston joins us for a wade up the South Esk, Stinker talks about one of the greatest books you have never heard of, Arthur Murdoch’s ‘Sheer Grit’, James McKinnon covers the New England North West and Peter LaBlang has Pittwater, Broken Bay and the Hawkesbury covered on this episode of the Big Fish.

HabsFan vs. LeafsFan - Season 2, Episode 3.An Executive Meeting at the Montreal Canadiens Headquarters (0:00).In what could best be described as one of the worst invasions of privacy ever recorded, HvL has acquired exclusive, behind-the-scenes, flashback audio footage between Canadiens GM Marc Bergevin and head coach Claude Julien as they discuss their newest acquisition and saviour of Quebec hockey, Jonathan Drouin.HvL Banter (2:10).Kamal and Ari discuss the surrealism behind the Drouin signing, the irony in having George Parros as the newest NHL director of player safety, and why so-called "weasel enforcer" Leo Komarov is both the best and worst hockey player in the world.LeafsFan rant (8:05).Ari proceeds to gush endlessly about the Maple Leafs special teams and why their path to respectability includes a small, bronzed statue of Frederik Andersen next to Ted Rogers in front of the SkyDome.HabsFan rant (9:37).Kamal rants mercilessly at the Ottawa Senators for their controversial ticket purchasing methodology and why their weasel-like ways should be vilified in the media, discredited by the fans, and exposed on YouTube alongside "Rhino versus Hippo" videos.Exclusive interview with Mike Stephens (@mikeystephens81) of Editor-in-Leaf and Crackin' Wise Pod (11:51).We're mighty pleased to bring you a brilliant writer and contributor with FanSided, Mike Stephens from Editor-in-Leaf, as he joins us to talk about the upcoming rookie tournament, why Martin Marincin and Roman Polak keep him up at night, and how Toronto can improve itself by avoiding soul-sucking bridge contracts that result in your best defenseman leaving for Nashville and then all that remains are tears and empty beer bottles.
