Josh Snyder returns to the bench to host this game with more mishegas (Yiddish for shenanigans) than Michigan for returning guest Jake Manne. Eric Ede and Jake bury the hatchet long enough to team up against Scott and David Luks, who find out Jake's dad is a fellow 8/5er. As chaos reigns during "Pre- and Post-Game ..and Concessions", there are multiple concussions as Luks and Ede are nearly broken by Snyder's rule-breaking. Scott resorts to Kraken Skulls, David is down, and Jake pulls a Markkus. Ede is bouncing between frustration that he knows the answer but doesn't know why or how and using his geography bee and deep Weird Al discography to insta-check, while Jake lies on the ground with a hatchet in his back. By the time everyone is done flopping after an epic finish, a new Benchwarmer (Menschwarmer? Tenthwarmer?) has emerged - and it's Snyder! #michiganandmishegasfan #partyingwithjakesdad #letsburythehatchetrightinhisback #lukstheboomerang #avalancheblindspot #krakenskulls #preandpostgameandconcessions #riverturnandflop #toomuchbiggestballoftwineinminnesota https://dobosdelights.com/ Promo Code: CheckYourTaint https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

In his book, The Warrior Savior, Owen Strachan states in the very first three sentences in the first chapter the point of every page in the Bible: It was a tree that damned us. It was a tree that redeemed us. And it will be a tree that heals us in the age to cometime beyond all time.[1] I want to borrow and use Strachans opening statement in his book as the point of this sermon series. It is the big idea of the overall message of the seventeen sermons that will make up this series that I have titled, The Tree. I assume that you already know this, but just in case you dont, here it is: We are in a war! If you are a Christian as I am, then WE are at war. The war we are in is both spiritual and supernatural for we are warned: For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places (Eph. 6:12). We are told that there is a domain of darkness (Col. 1:13; 1 Pet. 2:9) over which a powerful malevolent being rules (John 8:44; Eph. 2:2). Before we look into how it is that the domain of darkness came into existence, let me read something for you, and see if what you hear sounds like a commentary on the kinds of things that seem to be more and more common: But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, slanderers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of godliness although they have denied its power... (2 Tim. 3:1-5) So, how did we get here? Where are we going? What hope do we have that it will ever get better? To answer that question, we need to go to the beginning. The Tree of Life and Its Life-Giving Fruit Like all stories, our story also has a beginning. Genesis 1:1 begins in the same way all good stories begin: In the beginning... What happened in the beginning? God created the heavens and the earth (v. 1). This is how we tell stories: Once upon a time A long, long time ago In a galaxy far, far away Like all other stories, our story begins in the mind of God. When, And the earth was a formless and desolate emptiness, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters (v. 2), God spoke into the emptiness and created out of nothing that which did not exist previously. Out of the imagination of the mind of God came forth a world brimming with life and worship. On the first day God created the heavens and the earth; day and night. On the second day He divided the heavens from the earth. On the third day God created the land, sea, and vegetation. On the fourth day He created the sun, moon, and stars. On the fifth day, God created creatures great and small. On the sixth day, God created land animals and finally mankind. And, on the seventh day God rested. The crowning moment of creation was when God said, Let us make mankind in Our image, according to Our likeness.... So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them (vv. 26, 27). Humanity was bornnot simply another creature, but a unique reflection of the Creator Himself. Among all living things, only human beings bear the image of God, set apart to represent Him in the world He created with design, beauty, and purpose. God blessed the man and his wife and commanded them to, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth (v. 28). Owen Strachan makes the point concerning Adam: Adam, the first man, was a priest and a king onto God. He lived and ruled under the divine regency of his Maker.[2] The woman, later to be called Eve in the story, came from Adams body and God brought her to Adam as his wife and helper to join him in the mission to exercise dominion on the earth and fill it with humans like themselves and so that they too would walk in obedience and love with their Creator. When God created, He didnt use special effects or any tricks; He spoke, and everything in the universe and beyond came into existence. When He had finished with creation, God declared it to be very good (v. 31). In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth (Gen. 1:1) when he took the blank canvas of nothing and then painted the beauty of creation with the brush of His omnipotent Word. Before Eve was brought to Adam as a helper, God gave Adam another command: Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to cultivate it and tend it. The Lord God commanded the man, saying, From any tree of the garden you may freely eat; but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for on the day that you eat from it you will certainly die. (2:15-17). The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil and Its Curse-Producing Fruit Before God formed Adam from the dust, He had already created trees on the third day. Among all the trees He made, two were of great significance: the Tree of Life and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Both of these were placed at the center of the Garden of Eden (Gen. 1:11; 2:9). The fruit from the Tree of Life was available for Adam and Eve to freely enjoy, and by eating it, they could live forever (3:22). In contrast, eating the fruit from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil would lead to death. In this way, God presented humanity with a choice in Eden: each day, Adam and Eve could choose life by lovingly obeying God, or they could choose death by turning away from Him in disobedience and rebellion. Just as J.R.R. Tolkiens The Hobbit begins with the memorable line, In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit, introducing the humble yet unexpectedly heroic Bilbo Baggins, Genesis 3 ushers us into a pivotal moment with the arrival of a seemingly ordinary serpent. However, unlike Bilbo, whose heroism gradually unfolds, the serpent in Genesis 3 is far from harmlesshe is revealed as the true antagonist of humanitys story. Its important to remember Adams unique role in the garden: he was appointed by God to serve both as priest and king, entrusted to live and rule under Gods authority. The significance of Genesis 3:1 cannot be overstated, as it marks the moment when the serpent targets Eve, the wife of Gods chosen representative, with cunning intent. The serpents temptation comes in the form of a subtle question, challenging Gods word: Did God really say...? (v. 1). This question sets the stage for the unfolding drama of deception and a choice that will shape the course of human history. The root of the temptation was to question the goodness of God because He withheld fruit from only one tree in the garden. In other words, Satan was tempting Eve to doubt the goodness of God. Thomas Watson once wrote concerning sin, Sin first tempts and then damns. It is first a fox and then a lion.[3] So Eve, saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took some of its fruit and ate... But she did not stop there, ...and she also gave some to her husband with her, and he ate (Gen. 3:6). Their innocence was violated by their rebellion, Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves waist coverings (v. 7). Instead of choosing life, Adam and Eve chose death; they believed the lie of the serpent and thought that by eating the forbidden fruit that they would be Gods equal. They were wrong. They doubted the truthfulness of Gods word and His faithfulness to honor all of His promises and what they received was a curse instead of the blessing the serpent promised. The serpent was much more than what Adam and Eve believed him to be. Jesus said of the serpent, that he, was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is not truth in him. Whenever he tells a lie, he speaks from his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of lies (John 8:44). Throughout the Bible, we learn that the serpent is also the Accuser (Rev. 12:10), the Adversary (1 Pet. 5:8), the Beast (Rev. 14:9-10), and Beelzebub (Matt. 12:24). He is the dragon (Rev. 12:9), the evil one (John 17:15), the father of lies (John 8:44), and the god of this age (2 Cor. 4:4). The serpent is the lawless one (2 Thess. 2:8-10), the prince of the power of the air (Eph. 2:1-2), the ruler of demons (Luke 11:15), the tempter (Matt. 4:3), the thief (John 10:10), and the wicked one (Eph. 6:16). In every description, he is the embodiment of evil who disguises himself as an angel of light (2 Cor. 11:14). Yet, the serpent was, is, and always will be no more than a created being whose desire to be like God preceded his temptation of Adam and Eve to be like God. The serpents motive in tempting Adam and Eve to sin was rooted in his deep-seated hatred for God and for humanityGods unique creation made in His own image. Yet, it was not the devils decision that caused Adam and Eve to fall; rather, it was their own deliberate choice to disobey God. By choosing to sin, Adam and Eve forfeited the life and relationship with God that He had originally designed for them. It was not the serpent who chose death over life for the couple, but Adam and Eve who chose death instead of life. The Promise of Another Tree In Genesis 3, it was the snake who spoke first out of his own deception that he would have the last word. Yet, it was not the serpent, but God who had the final word. The response of Adam and Eve was that of shame and hiding, yet it was God who came near and found them in their shame! Do not miss what happens next in the story and how God approached the couple. We are told in Genesis 3:8, ...the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. Then, we come to Genesis 3:9! Then the Lord God called to the man, and said to him, Where are you? God did not call to both Adam and Eve, but only to Adam. Why? Was it not Eve who gave the forbidden fruit to Adam; was she not also guilty of sinning against God? Though both Adam and Eve sinned, it was Adam who represented mankind as the first priest and king. He was made first and was placed in the created order as head over his wife. He had headship and also served as the representative on behalf of all mankind; this is the point of Romans 5:12, Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all mankind, because all sinned... This is why God called to Adam and not to Eve. The couple could not hide from God; when God called Adam to account for his actions, he pointed his finger at his wife: The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me some of the fruit of the tree, and I ate (v. 12). In other words, according to Adam, it was ultimately everyone elses fault that he chose to sin. The truth is that Adam failed to protect his wife through obedience God. When Eve was asked what it was that she had done, she also shifted the blame but was more truthful than Adam, she admitted that she ate because she was deceived (v. 13). God could have chosen to begin again. He was fully justified in withholding mercy and delivering only justice through His wrath. Yet, instead, He gave Adam and Eve what they did not deserve: which was mercy, love, and grace. God had the final word, and it was good news! Yes, death would spread to all mankind from one generation to the next because of Adam and Eves sin. Eve would experience great pain through giving birth to life, and Adam would experience great toil through bringing life from the earth (3:15-19). Suffering, pain, and thorns would serve as continual reminders of a world under the weight of the curse. Nevertheless, this is not how the story ends! God had the final word, and it came in the form of a promise that would lead to the destruction of the serpent and life for mankind: And I will make enemies Of you and the woman, And of your offspring and her Descendant; He shall bruise you on the head, And you shall bruise Him on the heel. (3:15) From Adam and Eve would come a Deliverer who would crush the head of the great serpent-like-dragon under His heal.Although Adam and Eve were not given all the details, God had already determined that the Deliverer would be His own Son who would obediently choose a different tree in another garden, that would then result in His cursing for our redemption (see Gal 3:13). Although the consequence of Adam and Eves sin was expulsion from Eden and the presence of God, there was coming another Day when the Descendant would remove the curse of sin and make all things new. Although they were driven from Eden and forbidden to eat from the tree of life, God would make the forgiveness of sins and eternal life available through a different kind of tree, namely the cross of Christ. Conclusion We are told throughout the Bible that the choice of life over death is before mankind. Just before the Hebrew people were permitted to enter the land promised to them through Abraham, Moses said to the people: I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have placed before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants, by loving the Lord your God, by obeying His voice, and by holding close to Him; for this is your life and the length of your days, so that you may live in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them. (Deut. 30:19-20). The question we must all answer remains unchanged from the one asked throughout Scripture: Will you choose life or death? Permit me to leave you with six lessons from Genesis 1-3 in closing: Sin is always costly. Consider what Adam and Eves sin cost them; it cost them their intimacy with God, their intimacy with each other, and it robbed them of a joy that far exceeded what their sin could have delivered. Sin never delivers what it promises. Adam and Eve were told that if they sinned against God by eating the forbidden fruit that they would be just like God, but what they received is pain and death. Sin destroys peace. Before the fall, Adam and Eve enjoyed peace in the garden. There was harmony and continuity in the garden, but their sin disturbed what they once enjoyed. Sin vandalizes the peace of God. Sin brings unwanted shame. The moment Adam and Eve sinned against God; their innocence was turned into shame. They once enjoyed each others company naked and unashamed, but their sin resulted in their need to cover up their shame by covering up their nakedness. Sin will rob you of genuine joy. Adam and Eve were made to enjoy, experience, and bring forth life, but their sin robbed them of life and delivered only death. No Sin is bigger than Gods mercy, love, and grace. Even though there were consequences to their sin, Adam and Eve experienced the overpowering grace of God over their sin.

Send us a textWhen cold hands meet cold beverages in the outdoor community of Bend, Oregon, something magical happens – the Giddy Up Glove is born. Sherrise Erlandson's entrepreneurial journey bridges her past and present, weaving together childhood lessons from Minnesota flea markets with a passion for creativity and connection."Connection is kind of my focus," Sherrise explains, revealing the heart of her brand. "With the Giddy Up Glove, it's connection between people, connection to the outdoors." Her insulated beverage mitten transforms outdoor social experiences, making the wearer "their own hero" with newfound confidence and comfort.The path to creating this quirky yet functional product wasn't straightforward. From selling homemade bookmarks as a child to traveling the country as a Lindy Hop dancer, designing websites, and eventually settling in Bend, Sherrise's creative spirit never dimmed. When motherhood temporarily paused her business dreams, it was her daughter Esther who sparked their revival through collaborative craft-making for local markets. When early versions of the Giddy Up Glove sold out immediately, Sherrise knew she had found her focus.Now her ambitions stretch from local markets to college and NFL licensing, with strategic plans for e-commerce, wholesale accounts, and specialized retail partnerships. She's even expanded the Giddy Up brand to include a children's meditation podcast, inspired by Esther's love of storytelling and quest for age-appropriate mindfulness content.Through it all, Sherrise embodies the entrepreneurial spirit with practical wisdom: "You have to start and be open to understanding that you know nothing... Most of the time you learn through your mistakes." Her journey reminds us that the most successful brands often begin with a simple problem, a creative solution, and the persistence to keep improving.Discover the Giddy Up Glove at https://giddyupguide.com and experience how functional mischief can transform your outdoor adventures.

An episode from Bible Believers Baptist Church (BBBC), a conservative, independent body of King James Bible believers located in Corpus Christi, Texas. Bible Believers Baptist Church's statement of Faith:A Bible Baptist is one who believes in a supernatural Bible, which tells of a supernatural Christ, Who had a supernatural birth, Who spoke supernatural words, Who performed supernatural miracles, Who lived a supernatural life, Who died a supernatural death, Who rose in supernatural splendor, and Who will one day return in supernatural glory to establish a supernatural kingdom on earth. What BBBC believes about Creation: “We believe in the Genesis account of creation, and that it is to be accepted literally, and not allegorically or figuratively; that man was created directly in God's own image and after His own likeness; that man's creation was not a matter of evolution or evolutionary change of species or development through interminable periods of time from lower to higher forms; and that all animal and vegetable life was made directly and God's established law was that they should bring forth only “after their kind.”What BBBC believes about Salvation: “We believe in God's electing grace; that the blessings of salvation are made free to all by the gospel; that it is the immediate duty of all to accept them by a cordial, penitent and an obedient faith; and nothing prevents the salvation of the greatest sinner on earth but his own inherent depravity and voluntary rejection of the gospel; which rejection involves him in an aggravated condemnation. We believe in salvation by grace through faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ on Calvary plus nothing. Therefore, we do not believe that works are necessary for salvation, although once a person is saved, he should be careful to maintain good works.”What BBBC believes about Repentance and Faith: “We believe that Repentance and Faith are solemn obligations, and also inseparable graces, wrought in our souls by the quickening Spirit of God, thereby; being deeply convicted of our guilt, danger, helplessness, and of the way of salvation by Christ, we turn to God with unfeigned contrition, confession, and supplication for mercy; at the same time heartily receiving the Lord Jesus Christ and openly confessing Him as our only and all-sufficient Savior.” A message from BBBC to you: “If you are looking for a church in the Corpus Christi Texas area that preaches the Truth from God's Word, reach out to us at any time.

Are you angry and frustrated with your coworkers or school-mates? Do you have woo that you want to pitch but are getting frustrated by your potential partner? Do you have difficulty remembering what we are talking about sometimes? Well, the name of our beer is Wit's End....sooooooo..... I guess it is time to really focus and start to really pull apart this book and figure out what is going on. Frist off, we should all get our comic books and prepare to play our game. Speaking of playing, how would you like to have a playroom like the Future Foundation kids? Is that cool out or what. Why could we not have such a cool room to grow up in? Why do we not have that kind of awesome life. I needed this as a child and I need it now. Build me an adult playground! And while we are at it, I need some aweome, yummy, sugary cereal that is secretly healthy, and yet full of sugar. Can we make that happen? I do not want it to taste fake or gross, I want it to taste like neon unnatural fruit not found in any forest, and I want it to kick the synapses in my brain pan into overdrive. But I do not want diabetes. More coffee, better coffee, faster coffee. Make it be awesome, plentiful and make it come out of taps like bourbon. Wait, you do not have bourbon taps? You should. It makes all the difference in the world. And if someone questions your life choices, deny them bourbon from your bourbon tap. Ok...I need a moment. The coffee and cereal need to have a meeting with me. Another thing I need, many TV's all showing animie. I want my brain to explode from the concentrate assault cute anime characters making cute motions on the screen. I need those big eyes and cute features to just make my morning great. And finally, I need to have my good guys and bad guys dressed in appropriate clothing. And I need this to happen know. I need all of the bad guys in the world to start wearing the appropriate colors so we can know them on site. Make it happen world. Well, now that we got the serious stuff out of the way, we can go back to being silly in a couple of weeks. We also have some merchandise over at Redbubble. We have a couple of nifty shirts for sale. https://www.redbubble.com/people/jeffrickpresent/?asc=u If you want to see the pictures, check out this site: https://jeffandrickpresent.wordpress.com/2025/08/25/ff-v2-12-mind-mischief/ You can also subscribe and listen to us on YouTube!

The Manhunt It began with a series of brutal murders that left a small community in shock and investigators scrambling for answers. At the center of it all was Travis Decker—a man whose descent into violence sparked one of the most relentless manhunts in recent memory. In this episode of Criminal Mischief, we follow the trail of Decker's crimes: the chilling details of the murders, the chaos that followed, and the nationwide search that gripped law enforcement and the public alike. From the first bodies discovered to the tense final moments of his capture, this is the story of how Travis Decker became one of the most wanted men in America—and the deadly cost along the way.

In this collaboration episode of Poducer with NSW, we sit down with UK producer HIJINX (formerly known as Mr. K) — an artist who's evolved from heavyweight dubstep roots into a boundary-pushing sound that blends groove, texture, and raw energy. From his beginnings in Essex and early raves at Brixton Academy to releasing on respected labels like 1985 Music, White Peach, and his own imprint Fortune, HIJINX opens up about the creative reinvention that's carried him through two distinct eras of his career. We dive into his transition from Mr. K to HIJINX, his shifting production style, and why he's more interested in originality and groove than chasing trends. Along the way, he reflects on collaboration, the challenges of staying inspired in dubstep, and the crossover influences of metal, skate culture, and techno in his music. HIJINX also shares candid thoughts on the music industry — from the realities of releasing on major labels to the freedom of running his own platform, and what true success looks like outside of metrics.
Fluent Fiction - Danish: Laughs, Lessons, and Mushroom Mischief in the Forest Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/da/episode/2025-09-04-22-34-02-da Story Transcript:Da: Skoven var levende, når solen legede i trækronerne, og lyset dansede ned over de mangefarvede svampe, der stod som små paraplyer blandt mosset.En: The forest was alive when the sun played in the treetops, and the light danced down over the multicolored mushrooms that stood like small umbrellas among the moss.Da: Mathias, Sofie og Kasper gik ad de snørklede stier, deres kurve i hånden klare til dagens svampejagt.En: Mathias, Sofie, and Kasper walked along the winding paths, their baskets in hand ready for the day's mushroom hunt.Da: Mathias strålede af entusiasme, selvom han ikke vidste meget om svampe.En: Mathias beamed with enthusiasm, even though he didn't know much about mushrooms.Da: Han ønskede bare at finde den perfekte svamp for at imponere Sofie.En: He just wanted to find the perfect mushroom to impress Sofie.Da: Sofie, derimod, bevægede sig med selvsikkerhed gennem skoven, hendes øjne skarpe efter kantareller og rørhatte.En: Sofie, on the other hand, moved confidently through the forest, her eyes sharp for chanterelles and boletus.Da: Kasper, som altid, fulgte afslappet med, klar til at komme med drillerier.En: Kasper, as always, followed along relaxed, ready to make jokes.Da: "Pas på, Mathias," sagde Kasper grinende.En: "Watch out, Mathias," said Kasper with a laugh.Da: "Du skal ikke ende med at plukke fluesvamp."En: "You don't want to end up picking a fly agaric."Da: "Jeg har styr på det!" protesterede Mathias og stak brystet lidt frem.En: "I've got it under control!" protested Mathias, puffing out his chest a bit.Da: De fortsatte dybere ind i skoven, solens stråler blev sporadiske, og lugten af våd jord fyldte luften.En: They continued deeper into the forest, the sun's rays becoming sporadic, and the smell of wet earth filled the air.Da: Pludselig stoppede Mathias op.En: Suddenly, Mathias stopped.Da: Foran ham stod en stor, farverig svamp, næsten for pæn til at være sand.En: In front of him stood a large, colorful mushroom, almost too pretty to be true.Da: "Se denne her!" råbte Mathias triumferende.En: "Look at this one!" Mathias shouted triumphantly.Da: Svampen var ikke til at overse.En: The mushroom was hard to miss.Da: Den skinnede næsten under solens stråler.En: It almost shone under the sun's rays.Da: Sofie nærmede sig, hendes smil blev lidt skævt.En: Sofie approached, her smile became a bit crooked.Da: "Er du sikker på, den er spiselig?" spurgte hun med hævede øjenbryn.En: "Are you sure it's edible?" she asked with raised eyebrows.Da: "Selvfølgelig," svarede Mathias hurtigt og plukkede svampen.En: "Of course," Mathias replied quickly and picked the mushroom.Da: Men lige da han gjorde det, slap en dyb latter fra Kasper.En: But just as he did, a deep laugh escaped Kasper.Da: "Mathias, du har fundet en... plastiksvamp!" grinede han, mens han pegede.En: "Mathias, you've found a... plastic mushroom!" he laughed, pointing.Da: Mathias kiggede nærmere.En: Mathias looked closer.Da: Svampen i hans hånd var ikke kold og glat som de andre, men fast og unaturlig.En: The mushroom in his hand was not cold and smooth like the others, but firm and unnatural.Da: Hans kinder rødmede, og han kunne ikke lade være med at grine sammen med de andre.En: His cheeks reddened, and he couldn't help but laugh along with the others.Da: "Okay, jeg tabte," indrømmede Mathias.En: "Okay, I lost," Mathias admitted.Da: "Du vandt, Sofie."En: "You won, Sofie."Da: Sofie lagde en hånd på hans skulder.En: Sofie placed a hand on his shoulder.Da: "Det vigtigste er at lære.En: "The most important thing is to learn.Da: Kom, lad mig vise dig forskellen."En: Come, let me show you the difference."Da: De brugte resten af eftermiddagen på at søge i skovens hjørner, Sofie forklarede tålmodigt, hvordan de gode svampe kunne skelnes fra de dårlige.En: They spent the rest of the afternoon searching the corners of the forest, Sofie patiently explaining how to distinguish the good mushrooms from the bad ones.Da: Mathias lyttede opmærksomt, glad for at lære fra hende.En: Mathias listened attentively, happy to learn from her.Da: Da solen begyndte at gå ned, og skoven blev badet i gyldent lys, vendte de tilbage mod bilen med kurvene fyldt med ægte fund.En: As the sun began to set, and the forest was bathed in golden light, they returned to the car with baskets filled with real finds.Da: Mathias, nu mindre stolt men klogere, smilede bredt.En: Mathias, now less proud but wiser, smiled broadly.Da: "Tak, Sofie. Næste gang finder jeg den bedste svamp selv," lovede han.En: "Thanks, Sofie. Next time I'll find the best mushroom myself," he promised.Da: Sofie lo.En: Sofie laughed.Da: "Det er en aftale," sagde hun, og de gik sammen, efterladende den falske svamp til en anden nysgerrig jæger.En: "It's a deal," she said, and they walked together, leaving the fake mushroom for another curious hunter.Da: Da de kørte væk, vidste Mathias, at han havde lært noget vigtigere end bare svampekundskaber.En: As they drove away, Mathias knew that he had learned something more important than just mushroom knowledge.Da: Det var okay at spørge om hjælp og at grine af sig selv once in a while.En: It was okay to ask for help and to laugh at yourself once in a while.

This week Nicola and Di chat with the authentic and funny Bianca Dye. Many of our Australian listeners will of course know Bianca from her days as a radio presenter, across multiple stations, or the several TV shows she’s appeared on, including her own show which she hosted on Arena TV, Access All Areas. As well as her career in media, Bianca is known for her fearless honesty, and she’s an advocate who’s spoken out on many issues including mental health, IVF, perimenopause, ADHD, heartbreak, and all the messy parts that come with being human. In this episode Bianca shares some hard won wisdom on how to keep going and growing. In this chat Bianca is refreshingly herself and shares with us so many stories of the highs and lows in her career, the mistakes she’s made, the things she wishes she did differently, as well as the moments she’s proud of. We hear about Bianca’s incredible career path, which has included being a spruiker, a Marilyn Munroe impersonator and even a ringmaster for the Moscow Circus. In fact, it was her days spruiking on the Gold Coast that actually landed Bianca her first radio gig. Bianca is such a great storyteller and she shares so many funny moments in this chat - including the hilarious time she went to interview Richard Branson and he asked if she’d be willing to pull a prank with him - you’ll have to tune in to hear what happened next. In true Bianca style, we also talk about the harder moments as well - from heartbreak, to losing jobs she loved, challenges with perimenopause and the brain study that showed she had ADHD. We loved having Bianca in the studio with us and we really hope you enjoy listening to her as much as we did.

Welcome back to Snafu with Robin Zander. In this episode, I'm joined by Bree Groff, consultant, writer, and author of Today Was Fun. We talk about why mischief belongs at work, how humor and flirtation create real psychological safety, and the bold design choices behind her unforgettable book cover. Bree shares how she moved from CEO roles to full creative freedom, and how that shift helped her find her voice. We discuss marketing in 2025, how AI might reshape work and writing, and why personal agency, not hours, is the most important lever in a workweek. Bree offers practical insights for leading with joy, helping kids future-proof their lives, and deciding what's “enough” in a world that always demands more. She also reflects on writing the book while parenting, consulting, and building her own business, and what it means to embrace the joy of not knowing what comes next. Bree will also be joining us live at Responsive Conference 2025, and I'm thrilled for you to hear her on stage. If you haven't gotten your tickets yet, get them here. Books Trickster Makes This World: Mischief, Myth, and Art — Lewis Hyde Anansi Boys — Neil Gaiman Work Less, Do More: Designing the 4-Day Week — Alex Pang Shorter: Work Better, Smarter, and Less―Here's How — Alex Pang Rest: Why You Get More Done When You Work Less — Alex Pang Perennial Seller: The Art of Making and Marketing Work that Lasts — Ryan Holiday Today Was Fun — Bree Groff The 4-Hour Workweek —Tim Ferriss Responsive: What It Takes to Create a Thriving Organization — Robin Zander Podcasts/Videos TED Talk: How to Start a Movement — Derek Sivers Start (0:00) The Story Behind the Book Cover (00:07.822) Robin opens with a personal observation: Bree's nails are the exact shade of green as her book cover – a smiley face on a highlighter yellow-green background. Bree laughs and explains the choice behind the bold, offbeat cover: It was designed by Rodrigo Corral, known for iconic covers like The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fck*. When she first saw it (at 3 a.m.), she gasped and loved it — it stood out and made a statement. The smiley is cheeky but not cheesy; it suggests optimism with a bite. The color isn't quite yellow — it's that “gross green” that almost hurts to look at. That tension is the point. “It's got some edge... not your straight-up yellow.” This tension – bright and fun, but just a bit weird or off – is exactly the tone she wanted for the book and for herself. The Wink That Makes Work Fun Again (01:51) Robin brings up his old graduation photo: he posed slightly off-center, adding a knowing smirk. At the time, he didn't know why he chose that shot, but later realized it made people curious, like a small rebellion baked into something formal. Bree relates completely. She talks about: Why humor and a bit of mischief matter in professional settings. The concept of flirtation – not romantic, but playful: A wink in a branding campaign. A reference that only a few insiders get. A running joke between team members. Mischief creates risk and intimacy, both essential for real connection. These small acts of rebellion are actually signs of psychological safety and creativity. “You need a little bit of flirtation at work... a wink that says, ‘we're in this together.'” She argues that fun isn't a distraction – it's a sign that something is working. Tricksters, SNAFUs, and the Role of Risk in Work (05:49.219) Robin brings in the idea of the trickster, from folklore characters like Anansi and Coyote to his podcast title SNAFU. These figures don't follow the rules, and that's what makes them interesting. Bree expands on the connection between play and professionalism: There's a cultural script that says “seriousness = competence.” But in her experience, some of the best work moments involve play, risk, and even slight embarrassment. Being human together – laughing too loud, saying something weird, trying something bold – is what builds bonds. Real joy at work comes from these edge moments, not the sanitized ones. “You have to go beyond professionalism to access the most fun parts of work.” They agree that creating spaces where people can color outside the lines is not just fun – it's productive. Beyond Palatable: From People-Pleasing to Belonging (08:29.068) Robin shares a lesson from his mother: that once you leave high school, life is no longer a popularity contest. But he's realized that in business, especially branding, people often still chase approval and “likability.” Bree offers a deeper lens: Being “palatable” – meaning universally acceptable – is actually the opposite of being memorable. People who try to please everyone end up blending in. What she wants is to be delicious, or at least striking, not for everyone, but unforgettable to some. She draws a line between Fitting in: performing a version of yourself to meet social norms. Belonging: being your full, vibrant self and finding others who welcome it. “Please don't chew me up. I'm not palatable — I'm not trying to be.” This philosophy shows up in her book's voice, design, and in how she shows up in the world. Selling a Book in 2025: Bottles in the Ocean (12:21.838) What's it been like trying to promote a book in 2025? Bree describes her strategy as both scrappy and intuitive: She thinks of book marketing as sending “a million notes in bottles” – not knowing which will land. Her approach includes: Partnering with a publicist. Creating swag kits with branded gear. Pitching the book to “chatty” communities (e.g., alumni groups, newsletters, podcast audiences). Posting regularly, even when it feels silly. She cites the idea of “luck surface area”: the more interesting things you do, and the more people you tell, the more chances something will stick. “You do interesting things and talk about them a lot... and maybe something takes off.” Still, she acknowledges that luck plays a role. There's no guaranteed playbook, just momentum and hope. Is It Worth Talking About? (14:47.63) Robin references a quote from Tucker Max: that all marketing, in the end, is just word-of-mouth. Bree shares what guided her during the writing process: Her goal was to create something remarkable — in the literal sense: Something people would want to talk about. Not just good – but distinct, resonant, and weird enough to share. She wanted to avoid the “business book voice” – flat, generic, overly polished. She lights up when she talks about: Strangers sharing the book on social. Friends are texting her about it. An old college boyfriend resurfaced after reading it. “When that starts happening... You realize the machine is working.” She's less interested in best-seller lists and more focused on impact – ideas spreading from person to person, because they hit. Finding Her Voice: From Blogger to Book Author (16:36.665) Bree traces the evolution of her writing life: Started a travel blog in her early 20s and loved it immediately. Played with writing publicly over the years: occasional posts on LinkedIn, Fast Company, and later Substack (which began two years ago, alongside early book ideation). Writing always felt natural, but being a public voice within organizations came with constraints: “Even when I was CEO, I still felt the need to toe the party line.” Going solo changed everything: No longer represents a company's brand – just her own. Writing feels more honest, bolder, and more fun when it's “Bree Groff's opinions” alone. Stepping out independently accelerated her writing voice and gave her creative freedom. Writing in the Age of AI (18:19.63) Robin asks: Does writing still matter in the world of AI? Bree's take: She's a verbal processor — writing is how she discovers what she believes. “I never know how an article is going to end… I write my way into the idea.” She rarely uses AI in writing (aside from Grammarly). She prefers human composition even for emails. Writing helps her organize and refine her thinking: “I'll write a sentence and go – wait, do I believe that? And rewrite.” What writing offers that AI can't (yet): Emotional authenticity. A confessional power — like stand-up comedy: humans telling uncomfortable truths, out loud. She hopes we'll someday have digital labels like: “This was made by a human.” Robin presses for Bree's take on what AI changes – for better or worse. Bree's pessimistic view: Mass unemployment is a likely risk. Not convinced by the “tech creates more jobs” argument – even referencing Jevons Paradox: as things become more efficient, we just use more of them. “I can't quite think my way out of the unemployment problem.” Bree's optimistic vision: We're burned out. AI could fix that. If used right, AI can reduce workloads, not eliminate humans: “Wouldn't it be great if we used these efficiencies to help people live happy, regulated lives?” This would require a policy change, like tax incentives for companies that adopt a 4-day workweek. But she admits: that's a long shot. “It would take a lot for companies to prioritize reducing burnout over cutting costs.” Entrepreneurship Isn't a 4-Day Workweek (And That's Okay) (25:04.686) Robin challenges Bree's hope with reality: Entrepreneurship is chaotic and demanding, as when he launched both a restaurant and a conference in one year. When building something from scratch, the work is relentless. “There's no 4-day workweek when you're going zero to one.” He notes Bree's book could become a “perennial seller,” but only if she builds that momentum now — and that means hustle. Bree agrees — and offers nuance: She's in a launch phase. The last 6 weeks have been intense: Nights, weekends, articles, appearances. Her daughter is in a full-day camp to support this push. But it's intentional and temporary. She frames her philosophy like this: Overwork can be fun, energizing, even addictive – if it's seasonal. She's already planned recovery: A two-week log-off in late August. A blocked-out first week of September for reset. Bree continues on the myth of “reasonable” work limits: There's nothing special about 40 or 60 hours. The only reason we cap out is that we literally run out of time. Businesses will take as much as you give, and now AI won't hit those limits. So we have to decide what's enough, not the market. “If we're going to cap work somewhere, why not cap it lower and enjoy our lives?” She reminds us: Deadlines and pace are levers, not laws. You can pull other levers, like starting earlier, extending timelines, or balancing your team differently. Robin shares that his intense physical regimen (handstands, running, cold plunges, hikes) isn't about health prescriptions — it's about joy. That same mindset applies to work. If building his company lights him up, great – but it's a personal choice, not a universal blueprint. Bree underscores that agency is key: the danger arises when a founder's choice to overwork becomes the cultural expectation for everyone else. A CEO has different stakes than employees; assuming equal sacrifice is unfair and toxic. Overwork becomes problematic when choice is removed or social pressure distorts it. They introduce the idea of opportunity cost: Every hour spent grinding is an hour not spent with loved ones, moving your body, or simply resting. Many delay self-care with the illusion they'll "catch up later" – but your body and relationships exist in the now. Robin recalls a brutal 2016: two startups, no time, lost relationships – a visceral reminder that everything has a cost. Work, But Make It Weird (36:39) Robin draws a parallel between their playful ethos and The 4-Hour Workweek: redefining productivity with mischief and authenticity. He asks Bree how leaders can lead differently – more playfully – without violating norms or HR policies. Bree delivers a gem: Her team once suggested that a CEO explain their product to a bunch of 7-year-olds on a picnic blanket. They scripted techy questions ("What's your tech stack?") for the kids, hired a comedy consultant, and filmed the whole thing. It was wild, unexpected… and the most beloved part of an otherwise traditional company week. The magic was in the vulnerability and humanity of the CEO — letting people into his home, sharing space with kids, and showing joy. Bree's advice to leaders: Rearrange the office furniture for no reason. Use Comic Sans in a slide just to annoy a designer. Hide jokes in presentations that only two people will catch. Amuse yourself. That's reason enough, and it models psychological safety and play for everyone else. Robin calls this “the courage to play” – the bravery to step out of line just enough to invite others into the fun. Bree builds on this: We're often afraid that having fun will make us look stupid – but that fear is misplaced. She quotes Amy Poehler: “Nobody looks stupid when they're having fun.” Play is an act of self-assurance, not frivolity. Bree shares a personal win: she turned a project Gantt chart into a hand-drawn arcade-style horse race. No one else joined in, but she loved it. And that joy, in and of itself, is a worthy output. Work According to a 10-Year-Old (42:21.176) Robin asks: How does Bree's daughter describe what she does? Her answer? “You help people work together.” Bree beams — that's not far off. Her daughter has even become her little publicist, linking nail polish to Bree's book and promoting it to strangers. Robin dreams of having kids and wonders about their future in a rapidly evolving world. Bree is grateful her daughter is 10, not 22 – the future feels so uncertain that not knowing is oddly freeing. College may or may not matter; she might be a marketing manager or start an artist retreat in Tuscany. The one stable prediction? Human connection. Jobs built on empathy, presence, and the hug – literal or metaphorical – will always have value. Robin jokes (but not really) about resisting the idea of robot romantic partners. Bree wonders: Will we be seen as biased for resisting AI companionship? Is that the next generational tension? The Only Skill That Might Still Matter in 2040 (43:55.959) Robin asks: What durable skills should Gen Alpha learn in a world of AI and noise? Bree's first thought: “understanding human behavior” — but AI might already be better at that. So she lands on something deeper: The skill of knowing what kind of life you want to lead. It's rarely taught, and sorely needed. That's why so many people wake up at 40, mid-career, with a law degree but no love for the law, and end up switching to something that finally feels like them. Teaching kids to listen to their appetites and curiosities might be the most powerful, future-proof education we can offer. Bree argues that most people were never taught to ask foundational questions about the life they truly want: From childhood to college, we follow preset tracks – curriculum, majors, careers. If you're lucky, you get an elective or two. But real self-inquiry? Rare. We're missing education on key lifestyle preferences: What kind of schedule do I like? What kind of people energize me? Do I want to live in a city or near nature? How much solitude, structure, or chaos is ideal for me? Bree believes this underdeveloped self-awareness is the root cause of burnout: People follow “the path,” get promoted, tick boxes, and still feel unsatisfied. Companies gladly fill the vacuum with corporate ladders and titles – senior director, VP, etc. But we rarely stop to ask: Do I want my boss's job? Her hope for her daughter: not just career success, but aliveness. To develop the instincts and courage to ask: What do I want to get out of my short time here? And to find joy in helping others experience a bit more light while they're here, too. “Who Are You and What Is Your Purpose?” (51:33.666) Robin shares a surprising memory: a third-grade class titled Who Are You and What Is Your Purpose? He doesn't remember the content – school was tough for him then – but the title stuck. It captured something real and deep that still resonates. Bree lights up: “Okay, I take it all back – someone was teaching this, and it was you!” They land on a core truth: that mischief, self-knowledge, and authenticity are deeply intertwined. Knowing who you are is the first step. And honoring the weird, playful part of yourself makes life better — and work richer. Order, Chaos & a Trello Board (53:51) Robin pivots: What did Bree learn about writing through this book, especially while juggling parenting and client work? Bree shares her full process: She started with a Trello board: each list represented a chapter. Over many months, she collected bits of inspiration: ideas from the shower, great quotes, Substack entries, research snippets – all filed as cards. This meant when it came time to write, she wasn't starting from scratch. Her trick: separate idea collection from prose creation. Once she had a "pile of disorganized meat," she could stitch it together with intention. She scheduled 4-hour blocks to write ~1,000 words per session – 50 sessions = a 50,000-word book. She was thoughtful about pacing and reader experience: "That was a heavy part – maybe time for a joke. "I've been light for a while – maybe we need some grounding research." The outcome: a process that respected her creativity, time, and humanity. The Joy of Not Knowing What's Next (54:45.848) Robin asks: Now that the book is out, what's next? Bree doesn't know, and that feels exciting. She's booked through the fall with workshops, consulting, media, and speaking. But beyond that? It's open. She's leaning into serendipity: Publishing the book drew new, inspiring people into her life – people like Robin. She's open to building the classic “author-speaker-consultant” portfolio. Or possibly returning to SYPartners, depending on what fits. Or a totally new path. What makes it possible? A jumpy career history – she's used to leaps. A baseline of financial stability – and a partner with a more predictable job. Uncertainty isn't terrifying when you trust yourself to figure it out. “I can see through October. That's enough.” Robin wraps with heartfelt praise: Few first books feel as personal and reflective of their author as Today Was Fun. Even fewer come with so many shared connections vouching not just for the content, but the author herself. Where to Find Bree Groff (58:13.58) He urges people to read the book and see Bree on stage at the Responsive Conference (Sept 17–18). Bree shares where to find her: Website: breegroff.com Substack, LinkedIn, Instagram – all linked from her site.

Send us a textWhat happens when a computer programmer receives a divine calling to ministry? For Reverend Dr. Shannon Karafanda, it launched a transformative journey culminating in a global kindness movement that's changing lives one small act at a time.Shannon's path took an unexpected turn when she joined forces with her friend Alan Todd to plant a church centered on what they called "A-OK Projects"—Acts of Kindness performed with no strings attached. Whether handing out water on scorching days, planting flowers for neighbors, or surprising strangers with free gas, these gestures weren't about growing church membership but simply spreading love. Most fascinating were the reactions—many people actually refused kindness out of suspicion, revealing how starved our world has become for genuine goodness.When tragedy struck and Alan suddenly passed away, Shannon carried their vision forward, eventually transforming it into the "Holy Mischief" movement. The name perfectly captures what these acts accomplish—creating positive disruptions in our negative status quo. What began as a small Lenten project among six churches in 2020 faced the immediate challenge of COVID-19. Yet rather than faltering, the movement flourished as people craved connection during isolation, growing from 150 members to thousands across multiple continents.Shannon's insights on kindness as a "superpower" offer a revolutionary perspective. The power lies not in the act itself but in the connections created—benefiting not just giver and receiver but even those who witness or later hear about the kindness. In an era the Surgeon General has identified as suffering from an "epidemic of loneliness" more harmful than smoking, these simple acts create essential human bonds that ripple outward in unexpected ways.Ready to cause some holy mischief in your community? Visit the Holy Mischief Facebook group or website for inspiration and join a growing movement proving that small acts of unexpected goodness can transform our world one smile, one connection, one moment at a time.This podcast is a proud member of the Mayday Media Network.

Send us a textRemember when your imagination had no limits? When a cardboard box became a spaceship and a backyard was an unexplored jungle? As we grow up, that magical part of our brain often takes a backseat to our logical, organized prefrontal cortex—but what if reconnecting with play could make us better parents and happier people?In this fascinating conversation, we're joined by Jeff and Andy Crocker (known professionally as Mr. and Mischief), experts in immersive theater experiences who help adults rediscover their capacity for imagination. Through their award-winning interactive performances like the Apple Avenue Detective Agency, they create safe spaces for grown-ups to step back into childlike wonder without the pressure to "perform."The couple shares their philosophy that "just because something is pretend doesn't mean it's not important"—a powerful approach they apply to both their artistic work and parenting their eight-year-old daughter. We explore how traditional education often diminishes creativity, why boredom can be the birthplace of imagination, and practical ways parents can nurture creative thinking without controlling it.Beyond just fun and games, we discover how pretend play helps children process complex emotions and experiences, from everyday frustrations to profound loss. The Crockers reveal their innovative approach to parenting that balances honesty with wonder, allowing their daughter to choose which tooth fairy tradition their family would follow after studying mythology together.Whether you're seeking to strengthen your connection with your children or simply want to recapture some of the joy and creativity that adult responsibilities have pushed aside, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on why playing pretend matters at every age. Discover how embracing your imagination can transform not just how you parent, but how you experience the world around you.
