Welcome back to another episode of the Hybrid Ministry Show. I am your host, as always, Nick Clason sipping my coffee in my office today out of my, uh, church branded Yeti. I will say this, though, not a big Yeti fan as a coffee connoisseur because the metallic taste of it overrides the notes of coffee. So honestly, I would prefer just drinking out of like one of these types of mugs. So you're not on YouTube, you're not seeing all this. You are missing out big time, not probably really, but we are gonna take a little bit of a break. The last two episodes were, uh, video editing episodes. The, the episode after this one will be a Photoshop specific episode. But the reason that we're taking a little break is because our pilot episode on July 19th, um, and our episode one on July 21st was exactly one year ago from the day that this episode drops, which is July 20th. Nick Clason (01:04): So in this episode, we are just going to do, uh, talk about what is hybrid ministry like, the whole basis, the whole, like per the whole name of this podcast is named Hybrid ministry. What is it? Where did it come from? Why do we start this podcast? Do a little year in review, sort of deal. So that's what's on the docket for today. Hey, listen, if you are new here or if you are just finding us out, wanna let you know in the show notes. You can find links to YouTube, links to our website, hybrid ministry.xyz. Uh, this will be episode 55. Every single episode will have a link to our episode page, which has a full transcript. That's something that we provide for you all for a hundred percent free. So go check that out. Also, just follow us on social. We're on Instagram, we're on YouTube, and we are on TikTok. Nick Clason (01:48): All the links to those in the show notes, because some of those are my personal account at Clay and Nick. Others of those are ministry based accounts, a hybrid ministry. It's one of those too as an option, but your show notes will have everything that you need. In addition to that, we have a couple freebies right now. We have our free ebook, um, helping you download and get TikTok going completely from scratch. And then we also have free Adobe, uh, pro, uh, transitions that you can use to animate text, to animate videos, um, bounce in like your typical YouTube thing. So go grab those in the show notes and we would love it if you would give us a rating or review or subscribe or a, like, all those things help us get found in search so that more people can learn and know about the difference and the ministry that hybrid is going to make in their world and in their ministry. Nick Clason (02:39): So, without any further ado, let's jump in to the one year celebration episode. Glad to have y'all here. So, like I said, today is the day that this episode drops is July 20th. July 20th is the one year anniversary. You know, when I started this podcast, I had a cohost, his name is Matt, um, and Matt is, uh, one of the smartest marketing brains I've ever met. He used to work for, dare to Share if you're in the ministry world, you've probably heard that before. Uh, they're youth ministry, evangelism centric organization. Then he came to work at the same church that I was working at in Chicago land area. And when we were both working in Chicago land, we started this podcast together. Both of us within the first probably like 10 episodes, um, transitioned to different roles for, for different reasons. And one reason or another, um, I ended up here in dfw, Dallas, Fort Worth, Texas area. Nick Clason (03:30): Matt went back out to Colorado, which is home, um, working for a non-church non ministry organization. And because of that, his his ability to record podcasts fell by the wayside. And I became a one man band. And I remember I was moving here, moving to Dallas on the road somewhere in Nowheresville, Oklahoma. And I turned on Colin Cowherd cause I was like, that dude can talk for three hours by himself. And I found that the hardest thing to do. My first episode I recorded it was like 14 minutes. And I was like, how in the world am I gonna do a podcast by myself? Like, this is gonna be mentally exhausting and in a way it is. Don't get me wrong. Um, so that's why I I recruited a co-host to start cuz it's a lot easier to just have a conversation and talk. That being said, I started listening to Colin Coward cuz I saw the writing a little bit on the wall, and I was like, how is he doing this? Nick Clason (04:24): What are his kind of tips and tactics? So I tried to lean in and learn some of those things so that if my co-host fell by the wayside, I would still be able to give y'all a podcast. And, uh, I think around episode 11 or 12, I started doing them by myself. And then, um, I would still reference Matt as, you know, a like member of the podcast, but eventually I just stopped and it just became this, the Solo Nick Clason show. So here you go. If you're, if you're new and you want to go back to some of those early episodes, you will hear another voice that is my good friend Matt Johnson. Still great friends, just, you know, he doesn't have time to to record. He's a new dad, new life out in Colorado, just like we're building a new life here in Dallas, Texas area. Nick Clason (05:08): And so, um, and I never missed a week, um, from when I started until now. We've had a lot of life happen. We moved, um, my wife's mom passed away, my mother-in-law. Um, we went back, you know, had to drive a thousand miles back overnight to get there. Um, when that happened, it wasn't, um, emergent, but it also wasn't totally on the radar when we moved here. One of the reasons we moved here was hoping that she could come live with us, um, you know, fighting her cancer diagnosis. Um, but some things progressed faster than we anticipated. And, and all that happened and I started a new job and I'm getting to know a new church and I'm getting, you know, my kids enrolled in a new school. So a lot of new for us. Um, but thank you for being along on the ride with me because in my new role, I am focusing a lot on digital integration and hybrid ministry. Nick Clason (06:00): And this podcast is a cathartic outlet for me to talk about what I'm doing. In a lot of episodes, I've told you, here's what I'm doing right now, here's how it's going, and here's the adjustments that I'm making. And while I would be doing those things internally in my head, forcing myself to sit down and explain it to an audience has just been so helpful. And so thank y'all for being along the ride with me. Like I, I've told you before, I always want this to be a place where I can just be open and honest. So that is a little bit of just kinda like the brief one year history of where we are. Um, and in, in an attempt to continue to look back just a little bit, I want to give you guys a couple of recap type stats. So let's dive into this. Nick Clason (06:44): All right. So to recap, um, back in December, December was our best downloaded month to date. But then January beat December and then February, beat January and then March, beat February. So they just kept kind of building on itself and then may came and may beat all of those. April took a little bit of a, uh, backseat, um, or I'm sorry, may took a little bit of a backseat to April. Um, April was still the highest. So it, it was like a stair-stepping in December, January, February, March, April, may took a little dip. And then now, uh, I'm recording this in June. Um, it will drop in July and so, um, July might be completely different, but June has far surpassed every month we've ever even had. So to those of y'all who are new, those of y'all who are downloading us on a regular basis, welcome, glad to have you, glad to see you. Nick Clason (07:35): It's exciting to be along on the journey. Um, glad to have you with us. The highest downloaded episode ever in the history of this podcast is episode 31. I'll drop a link to that in the show notes if you wanna go back and listen to it. But we are gonna do just a little bit of a recap of that here in this episode. The episode's titled, why Should Churches Even Care About Digital Ministry in 20, I think I probably recorded it in 2023 or 2022, I should say. So I probably said, why should churches care about digital ministry in 2022? Um, consequently, and I don't think that this has any correlation, but consequently, that was also our very first episode that we started posting full, um, video episodes on YouTube as well. So you can go check out my very first YouTube video if you wanna laugh and see how bad it is, I think, and hope we've gotten better. Nick Clason (08:23): But, um, you know, no promises. I'm not like a professional YouTube editor. Uh, I'm a youth pastor, so I'm doing this all in the margins, all in my spare time. And so, um, there could be more on the horizon, you know? Um, but right now it's just kinda, uh, slugging it out. That does not count. However, our very first episode on YouTube, which was the, have I already ruined my church's TikTok account. It's a video and podcast joint episode that I posted, uh, where we, we released the free ebook, um, with a link to that and the show notes. And so, um, that was literally walking through step-by-step nerding out on how to post a video on your cell phone using the TikTok TikTok app. Now, I will give a caveat and a disclaimer. I'll drop the episode link to that as well in the show notes, but I wanna let you know that I posted that in December. Nick Clason (09:12): And so just like any sort of tech things have changed. And so it may not even be a hundred percent relevant. The the overall premise is right, like a lot of TikTok is the same, but there are still some things that have shifted and even personally some strategy things on my end that have shifted as well. So think you all for being along on the journey. Those are, um, just some kind of recaps. This is our, like I said, our one year anniversary episode. But without any further ado, this is really what I want to get into is I wanna like bring everyone, y'all on the audience level back to the roots of why we do what we do and what this is what, where this all started from. So without any further ado, let's answer this question. What is hybrid ministry? Okay, what is high ministry? Nick Clason (10:06): So back in July last year when we launched podcasts, this idea had been rolling around in my brain for a couple months and, um, I was kicking around ideas of names. The name I settled on was hybrid. I also liked integration. Um, but, but hybrid was really like the one that I thought was really cool. Well, lo and behold, after I decided that name, Barna released an ebook about the future of the hybrid church. And so almost at the same time I launched a podcast or at least started recording bef before I had a few episodes kind of in the hopper before we ever went fully live. Um, and then Barna also released their ebook 40 or some, some, I can't remember. I'll drop the link to the Barna ebook in, in the show notes. It's behind a paywall, but it's worth it. It's a, it's a little over a year old now at this point, but I still go back to and pull a lot of data from it cuz what they're asking, coming out of the heels of C O V I D, they're asking what do millennials and Gen Z, what are they looking for in church? Nick Clason (11:10): Uh, another thing I've done in the last year is I went through a Gen Z Barna CoLab thing. Um, it was a six session zoom thing where they shared some findings about Gen Z, which they are the future generation of our church and our church ministry. And so it's important, I think to, to inspect what these generations are saying. And so, um, 9%, only 9% of churched Christians back when this, um, hybrid ebook dropped 9% of church Christians, um, wanted a solely digital church option. Okay? And so I think my question, and I remember I had Matt on here, was like, well, well then why are we even exploring this as digital ministry? Aren't we on the other side of covid? Shouldn't we go back to what we remember and how things were? The difference was one third of them expressed that some sort of, um, hybrid option would suit them well, and that was only in those that they pulled and that was only in those old enough to be pulled. Nick Clason (12:19): So 18 and older at the time. All right, meanwhile, millennials and Gen Z, if you take out just that kind of sub subset of of age demographic, take out some of the older church attenders that were also pulled in this ebook. Millennials and Gen Z are ju this is, this one was the one that got me and this is the one that like really thrust me into starting this podcast. Millennials and Gen Z are just as likely to choose a hybrid option as they are a physical option at 40% for millennials and 42% for Generation Z. So they are just as likely just as interested in a hybrid option as they are in a physical option. And I hear you on the other end, but wait, it's not the same. We all saw it in Covid and yes, that's true. And this was one of the conversations that me and Matt had way early on, and it's that this churches in Covid tried to replicate an in-person experience and a digital option. Nick Clason (13:16): And a physical option should be two uniquely different experiences. I hear you again, but wait, I don't have time to produce that and I get that it's challenging for sure. I'm on a student ministry staff of three, soon to be four. We're about to have a year long resident who I've worked with before. So we have a little bit of a history, know what he can bring to the table. All that to be said, I dedicate, I don't know, probably 75% or more of my job responsibilities to digital integration and hybrid ministry. There's more that I wish and want to be able to do, but I, I also don't have the time crunch. But what I say is on your staffing level and on your staffing side, it's really important to make sure that you give someone proper allocation of funds and time, ability to, uh, to go this direction because the, the younger that generations are, the more that this is going to be necessary. Nick Clason (14:14): And we're not trying to replace the physical. That's my whole point. That's where the word hybrid comes from. We're not trying to replace the physical, we're trying to integrate digital with physical, right? One of my favorite examples of it in our student ministry is we'll do these like two or three times a year. We'll do these, uh, brackets where we pit two things against each other and, and they vote and the winner goes on to the next round and they face off against the winner of another matchup. And so we'll come up with kind of these like arbitrary seatings or whatever. Um, I'll drop a couple links in the show notes cuz I've done a few of these and I've posted 'em on like download youth ministry, so you can grab it. We've got like world's greatest or um, uh, big game day bracket food challenge. Nick Clason (14:55): So you're picking like the food that you're gonna have at like your Super Bowl party. But that's a great example of a hybrid option because all of the voting takes place online on a website or, or in our case, a lot of times on Instagram, but in person it's also like playing it itself out. So this last year we did serial madness in March, and so we pitted serial matchups against each other. And so we had all the, the matchups up on a big, uh, window that we have with like a bracket taped out. And then we cut out the front of the serial boxes and po uh, pasted like a seed number on each of them. And then as they would win online, we'd move them into our space. So the students would walk in, they'd see the results, but then on Wednesday nights we have these garage door, uh, like bay type things. Nick Clason (15:42): And so we have eight different bays. And so that's eight different matchups for a round of 16. And the base came up and every individual matchup, uh, of cereal was in the base. So they could go in, they could grab the one seed versus 16 seed, put a little milk in it and eat it. That's an example of taking a digital expression, a digital like moment and means of something and bringing it in to make it hybrid with your in-person. Okay, back in the first episode, we talked about digital openness. And so I just wanna rattle off for you some of these, um, findings from, from the first book. So church adults defined as having high digital openness. Number one, they see the value of attending at least an online service. Number two, they think that churches should use digital resources for spiritual formation slash discipleship purposes. Nick Clason (16:33): Post pandemic, they think that churches, uh, should use digital resources for gathering their people to together after the pandemic. They say that either hybrids, so both digital and physical or primarily digital gatherings for church will best fit their lifestyle after the pandemic. And number five, they're open to attending new kinds of online gatherings that are unfamiliar. What are mold breaking? So these are people that are classified as digitally open. Furthermore, of these options, these were the options that they said would, um, suit them in a hybrid sort of format. So teaching and preaching one-on-one prayer, small groups, worship, prayer, visitation, confession, children's ministry, youth ministry, adult ministry. Those were, um, highest percentage down to lowest percentage in a cascading list. The thing that was the number one thing was teaching and preaching. So here's the thing, churches have gathered together to preach and hear the word, and that's, that's valuable and scriptural. Nick Clason (17:34): That being said, um, I, I can learn just as well. Um, whether I'm sitting my butt in a, a seat looking ahead, listening to a pastor as I can, listening to him on the podcast, what can't be reproduced, what can't be replicated in my own experience is praise and worship. Which again, I think that there may be a moment for, uh, figuring out how this works for the next generation in a non, uh, like physical environment. Not replacing it, but supplementing it. But the thing that can't be replaced for me is community one-on-one relationships, like authentic community with other believers. And some of those things can be done digitally. Zoom groups. We all saw that it leaves something to be desired. I agree if that's what you're saying to me on the other side of this camera. However, all that to be said, like the, the teaching pieces can be something that we can offer to people. Nick Clason (18:27): It's the number one, it was the number one rated thing for hybrid options, the delivery of content. CS Lewis has a quote that says, this says theology is all the more important today because there are so many messages being delivered to the home that you need to determine what is actually true. So you can go into one of these mediums and you can present the word, you can give theology, you can teach people theology in podcast form, YouTube videos, short form videos. Lewis made this quote in the 1950s and it rings all the more true today. That's the crazy thing, right? Is like what he said back in the fifties still brings true almost 80 years later. So because there's so many messages coming into the home, we need to help teach people what the Bible says. So I say all that to say, and I give you all of that as just a reminder that this is why this matters. Nick Clason (19:22): Hybrid ministry matters as an option for churches moving forward. And so, um, I just wanted to give a quick reminder. I just wanted to share it with y'all about, um, why we do what we do, where this whole thing comes from and what the purpose of it all is.

God picks the nobodies nobody notices! Israel was in a tough situation. They were a nation in chaos, hoping the Lord would send a magnificent leader to turn things around. But God extends a surprise invitation - to a nobody from “Nowheresville.” This is a great inspiration: God has a place for you! Here at AZchurch.com, we're all about people because GOD is all about people.

Strap on a helmet and head on down to the podcast mines, because the dudes have jokes including: The blood kiss, a suspicious haircut, some truly awful poetry, a certain amorous trailer and money in the butt hut.
Just in time for Halloween best-selling author Roseanne A. Brown brings us the story of a vampire slayer uprooted to suburban Maryland. How does a girl who was trained to be a vampire slayer adjust to regular life in middle school? Not so well. Serwa will make big mistakes, earn detention, and even make a trip to the underworld before she learns the shocking truth about herself and her family. For most kids, catching fireflies is a fun summer activity. For twelve- year-old Serwa Boateng, it's a matter of life and death. That's because Serwa knows that some fireflies are really adze, shapeshifting vampires from the forests of Southeastern Ghana. Adze prey on the blood of innocents, possessing their minds and turning them into hulking monsters, and for generations, slayers like Serwa and her parents have protected an unknowing public from their threats. Serwa is the best adze slayer her age, and she knew how to use a crossbow before she could even ride a bike. But when an obayifo (witch) destroys her childhood home while searching for a drum, do Serwa's parents take her with them on their quest to defeat her? No. Instead, they dump Serwa with her hippie aunt and cryptic-obsessed cousin in the middle of Nowheresville, Maryland "for her own safety." Now, instead of crossbows and battle armor, she's dealing with mean girls and algebra, and for the first time in her life she doesn't have to carry a staff everywhere she goes, which is, kind of nice, actually.

Let's jump right in to my conversation with doug rotor Doug welcome to the show. [00:03:24] Doug Roeder: Hey, Greg. Thanks a lot. Great to be here [00:03:26] Craig Dalton: I appreciate you taking the time to join me after Unbound 200. I'm glad you got to the finish line. I can't wait to dig into your adventure out there. [00:03:34] Doug Roeder: and adventure. It was and yeah, happy to talk. Great to see you. Great to be with you. Can't wait to get out with you sometime live on a bike. This will have to suffice for now, though. [00:03:43] Craig Dalton: Indeed. So for the listener, Doug and I met each other, gosh, I don't wanna date us too much, but it's probably 20, 25 years ago. [00:03:50] Doug Roeder: Long time ago. Yeah. Team and training up in the city, [00:03:53] Craig Dalton: And through mutual [00:03:54] Doug Roeder: And mutual friends. [00:03:56] Craig Dalton: Yeah, exactly. So to set the stage, Doug, are you, or are you not a professional athlete? [00:04:01] Doug Roeder: No, absolutely not. No, not even anywhere close. [00:04:04] Craig Dalton: So, so Doug's an endurance athlete, like most of us and, and not an unaccomplished one you've you've achieved multiple Ironmans. If I'm, if I'm remembering correctly and always been fit. [00:04:16] Doug Roeder: Yeah. So well, yeah. I, I guess right around the time we met, I was very unfit. I had kinda worked 80 hour weeks all through my twenties and didn't. It finally got to a place in my career in my late twenties, where I had a little bit more predictability on my schedule. And so started joined team in training and did one and only one Ironman with team in training. But in training for that had did a half Ironman and some other events and really kind of felt like, triathlon was a, a great way to kind of get out in the bay area and, and try different things. And so I would never say I was a triathlete. I'd do one or two a year wildflower in particular, the long course there. But cycling kind of became part of my life at that point. I met my wife on a blind date, bike ride. I started spending time up in Santa Rosa for work every other month. And a gentleman up there took me on a lot of road rides, your pine flat east side, west side, Sweetwater Springs. Always told me that if I ever had a chance to ride king Ridge, I should. So when Levi started his ride, I started doing that. And so it was kinda I'd pick one or two big things a year to do and train for those. And that was kinda my, my. [00:05:11] Craig Dalton: That makes sense. And then at what point along the way, did you discover gravel cycling? [00:05:16] Doug Roeder: So, yeah, I kind of just for a decade plus kind of kept doing the same couple of things over and over cycling with something I would do with work colleagues. I commuted from the city down to the peninsula once a week. Once I had little kids just to get along one long ride in a week. And then it was 2018, I think. Was the last year that wildflower happened and I was kind of poking around for something new to do. And a buddy on the east coast who I'd ridden quite a bit with and remembered that I was from Kansas said, Hey, you wanna check out this thing? In Kansas, there's this big race, this big bike ride. It's a gravel ride it's called it was called it's on dirty Kansas. I said that's Ryan that's. That's ridiculous. Why would I, I go to Kansas to ride a bike. Like I go there to go to a chief's game or go see family and friends. That's that's insane. And plus the roads in Kansas, like why would you do that? Why would I ride dirt roads in Kansas and just promptly about it? Dismiss it outright. No joke. A week later, I'm talking to my father who lives, he's retired in central Kansas. He's got 30 cattle. He's kind of a hobby rancher. And he had been staying with a. At a little town outside, Amoria called Opie. This was in may. And when he was there, he drove around the Flint Hills. He's telling me how beautiful the Flint Hills were in the spring. The Emerald green, after the ranchers burn off all the grass, it comes back this beautiful green and to someone from Kansas. I mean the Flint Hills, I I'm from Western Kansas central Kansas went to high school and Eastern Kansas. So I'm kind of from all over Kansas, the Flint Hills are just something you drive past on your. Somewhere else. There's really no, there, there there's, it's too Rocky to farm. There's no major population centers. It's pretty, you see it from the highway, but there's really no reason to go there. So my father lived his entire life in Kansas had never spent any time in the Flint Hills. And so he, he was there with this old friend toured around the Flint Hills and he's telling me about it and he's like, oh, and there's this big bike race. Have you heard of it? And I'm like, yeah, a buddy just told me about it. I can't believe thousands of people travel. To Emporia, Kansas, which again, to native Kansas, Emporia's kind of the middle of nowhere. It's like for a bike race. And my father tells me that his friend, they they're looking to, they wanted to rent their house out to some racers, but they didn't wanna rent a stranger. So he said, if, if you ever wanna come to Kansas and do this bike race, you know, you got a place to stay, you can rent this house outside just outside of town. So I'm like, yeah, no, that's why I'm not. That's ridiculous. Why would I do that? And then a few weeks later, this was like the third, the straw that broke the camels back. Right. We have a friend staying with us, a friend of my wife's it's an ER doc in Philly. And he had come out to do escape from Alcatraz, big multi-sport athlete CYC lacrosse racer, and he was staying with us at our house. And were we my wife and I had signed, but do escape that. And we're talking to, to Dr. Lambert and he said, Hey, you're Doug, you're from Kansas. Have you heard of this big bike race in Kansas? My coach. And I really want to do it. And I'm like, you're the third person who's mentioned this thing to me in the last, like 10 days now. I'm, I'm kind of intrigued. And he had a plot to, to kind of hack the lottery at the time. Yeah, they were promoting and I'll just keep talking, you cut me off, whatever, but I figure you can edit a lot of this. So he his, his idea was his coach was a woman and there was a, they were trying to get more women to ride. The race, then 200 for 200 was the promotion 200 women ride 200 miles. Remember that. And Dr. Lambert's coach Amelia woman really wanted to come and do the race as well. And at the time you could, I think you still can, you could register as a group. So it was an all or nothing kind of thing, or up to four people could register for the lottery together. And he said, well, make Amelia our, our, you know, team captain quote unquote, and she'll get in. Then the rest of us will draft off of that. And I was like, you know, I have this high school buddy. That I've run a couple of ultras with in Kansas. He's just the kind of guy, cause they also gave preference to locals. I was like, we'll sign him too. I'll give him call. And so the four of us signed up and we got in that way on the lottery. And I don't know if our, our hacks helped or not, but one way, you know, we got in. So now it's January of 2019. And I'm, I've been accepted to Unbound, wildflower had been canceled. So, you know, now I've got a new thing to train for. And I had to go get a gravel bike and try and figure out what the heck gravel biking was all about. And I had taken an old road bike and put the fattest tires I could on it and kind of started exploring some, some non paved roads down here. And it seemed like a not insane thing to do. So I went up to my local bike. And they're a specialized dealer. So I ended up with a diverge and set it up tubus and started training. [00:09:41] Craig Dalton: Great. You know, that's amazing. It, it sounds like you were going to be haunted by Unbound until you did it with all [00:09:48] Doug Roeder: That's kind of, [00:09:49] Craig Dalton: you [00:09:49] Doug Roeder: it was kind of, yeah, that was everybody was coming at me about it. And I then a, a great guy wanted to actually travel to the middle of Kansas. And I think this is a good point to state it's. It's hard to overstate. How preposterous, the notion of Unbound gravel sounds to like a native cans who, who wasn't a cyclist as a kid, but learned to cycle in the bay area. I mean, the notion that thousands of people from all over the country, or even all over the world would travel to Emporia, Kansas to ride hundreds of miles of the crappies roads. You can imagine in the middle of tornado season. It's just it's ridiculous, but yeah, you're right. I was kind of being haunted by it and there, I was at a point where I needed, I kind of wanted to try something new and so I signed up. [00:10:35] Craig Dalton: And you sign up directly for the [00:10:36] Doug Roeder: Yeah. And there was some debate around that. My, my buddy in Kansas who had, who had never, you know, he'd done some writing. He'd never, I don't think he'd ever run ridden a century before. He's like, you sure we should do the 200, maybe we should do the hundred. And I mentioned that to our, our friends from Philly and they're like, no, if we're gonna travel all the way to Kansas, we're, we're gonna, we're gonna get our money's worth. And I was like, yeah, no, it's kind of 200 or nothing fell. And I kind of felt the same way actually. So yeah, we went straight for the 200. [00:11:01] Craig Dalton: Yeah. I feel like back in 2019 and, and earlier, like the 200, the, the 100 felt different when you were signing up for it. Not that I've done it, but these days I feel like it's got equal promotion. Certainly the two hundreds, the marquee part of the event, but also that they realized like a hundred is pretty good as well. [00:11:18] Doug Roeder: Oh, and a lot of fast riders. So yeah, no, it's the a hundred has definitely become a thing and yeah, even the shorter distances are, are filling up with people now, too. So. [00:11:28] Craig Dalton: And so 2019, that was pre pandemic. Right? So the race actually went off at that point. [00:11:33] Doug Roeder: The race went off. It was hot and humid and we, it was the north course. It was the first year they had switched back to the north course, which I guess they'd done it a few times. And we had a nice, strong south wind out of the gates. So we flew 60 miles with a tail. made the turn and on that north course, most of the climbing is kind of in the middle section. So right around the time of day when it gets hot you start putting in some, a lot of kinda steep climbs on rough roads. And our two C cross buddies took off at that point. And I was sticking with my high school buddy. And I think the, the, you know, growing up. Growing up cycling wise here in the bay area, climbing's comes pretty easy. You get, you can't really ride 10 miles without climbing a thousand feet around here. So, I was having a decent time. The heat's a little tough to deal with. But my friend kind of got pummeled and we emerged from those Hills into the headwind. We got to council Grove and he was suffering from heat exhaustion at that point. And so I ended up riding, riding it in myself, late in the race and finished after midnight. And that was that. [00:12:34] Craig Dalton: to get to the finish line in your first one. I think that's pretty amazing. Did you. I know I want to talk about this year's version, but I feel like talking about your first experience is also equally valuable because going, going in there naive about what you were to experience, how did you prepare for it? Obviously, you you'd done Ironman triathlons. You'd done these long distance events that might have taken you north of 10, 12 hours. How did you get, what was the mindset going into 200 miles? Had you ever ridden that far before? Okay. [00:13:05] Doug Roeder: No, no. I think the longest ride I had done was, you know, what was Levi had his long course, which had a couple of different names the Panser whatever. And so that was kinda a hundred, 1,320, I think, with a lot of climbing. And I had done the version where you get off road onto some gravels. So I took my, my road bike on some gravel roads up in Sonoma county, which was a great way. Break a carbon wheel, which I did. But anyway, that's a different story. So the mindset was just to get, and I'd trained for some long runs as well. So I'd done some 40 and 50 mile runs. And you know, when I was training for those, I never, you never go out and run 40 or 50 miles, but yet stack up big days, you know? So you go run 21 day and maybe 25 the next. So I took the same kind of approach cycling wise. I would do. You know, you know, kind of do my normal early morning rides with my buddies and then maybe get out for 180 or 90 mile and then try the next day to go then ride 60 or 70 gravel miles over in the east bay on the east side of the Dunbarton bridge, where it gets good and windy out there on those salt pond levies felt like that was a pretty good Kansas simulator. And so I would try and stack up a couple of big days and then, you know, every few weeks kind of build back up to. And the mindset was just survival. We just wanted to finish. We didn't really have a time goal. It was just get her done. And that's kinda, that's sort of how it went, [00:14:27] Craig Dalton: That's what I always thought about with training here in the bay area, because we have so much climbing, I'm UN very, very unlikely to hit that mileage. Like even if it made sense to ride 200 miles, unless I was riding on the road, I'm not gonna hit that mileage, but I can certainly do a absolutely punishing day of climbing. [00:14:45] Doug Roeder: Yeah, no. And that's, that is the challenge, cuz I mean, if you go, when I go ride 80 or 90 miles, you're gonna climb eight or 9,000 feet around here. Now you've got the benefit. You can look at some of the Strava's of some of the, the gals up in your neck of the woods who kind of tend to win that Unbound and see what kind of stuff they do. They'll go do hundred 40 mile crazy stuff. So yeah, I, for me trying to find, you know, in Kansas, the wind is always a factor. Finding a place where you can ride for, I don't know, four or five, six hours where it's a steady effort is kind of hard in the bay area. And so I've found this, you know, again, east side of the Dunbarton bridge, the coyote Hills, regional park, there's a nature preserve. So you can kind of get a 30 or 40 mile flat-ish gravel loop in over there. And I'll do a few of those. And like I said, it's generally windy in the afternoon, so it's, that's kind of become, I can't get anyone to do it with me. So I'm listening to your podcasts or music and the earbuds, but. So I do do a little bit of solo training for it, but yeah, that's kind a key training [00:15:39] Craig Dalton: Yeah, it's interesting. It's so often I talk and think about the type of gravel that's underneath our wheels. When we go to these different parts of the country, but climate and wind play equally at big factors. And. It feeling hard and different. Like I know when I ride in wind, which I don't tend to ride in a lot of like, that's demoralizing to me. So imagining like pointing myself a 40 mile headwind section in Kansas might be a little difficult. [00:16:07] Doug Roeder: Yeah, but it's great. You can go, you can practice it here in the bay area. There are places, but yeah. Getting your it's, you know, psychological training for that kind of torture is is a big part of it. And you know, the other aspect of getting ready for that first one was just preparing to be able to fix my bike. I've got a great local bike shop here at Melo. They've taken great care of me over the years, but like what, what, what am I gonna do if I, you know, flat my tubus tire or. Bust my chain and a water crossing, which I ended up doing. So I had to stop. I had to pop out a, a link and fix my chain. You know, there's all kinds of stuff you gotta do. If you, if your goal is to finish you gotta be ready. And fortunately, I've watched a few YouTube videos and had the right tools to take care of that, that first year. But it was, it was non trivial getting across the finish line. And especially, yeah, once my buddy was suffering from, you know, heat exhaustion, We were at the last checkpoint minutes before they were gonna shut it down. And he packed up his bike and put it in the minivan. And I rode off into that by myself with lights and just kind of chased fireflies and other racers. And at that point in that race, the sun's going down, it cools off. It actually kind of became my favorite part of that race. It's just a different trippy thing on the north course. You'd end up going across this lake whole lake. You ride across a dam, there's people, boats partying, and you've fireflies, and it's just so surreal 70 into your day to be in that place that it does kind of, yeah, it's, it's quite an experience for sure. [00:17:28] Craig Dalton: Yeah, I can only imagine. So of the four of you, it sounds like what just did three of [00:17:33] Doug Roeder: Three finished. Yeah. The two cycle crossers. I think they, they finished around 10:00 PM. I, I rolled in after my late start and waiting for my buddy at kinda one 30 in the morning. But even then rolling down commercial street Emporia, I had a dozen kids chasing me down the shoot on both sides. I mean, it was just a bizarre trippy thing. And my buddy was at the finish line smiling at that point, he had recovered. So it was quite it was a really fun thing to finish and a hard, a hard, hard thing to do for sure. [00:18:01] Craig Dalton: huge accomplishment. Now, are you one of those people that can finish an event like that? And someone puts the sign up form in front of you and you're like, sign me up. I'm gonna do it the next year. [00:18:11] Doug Roeder: Absolutely not. So the, yeah, you know, the wildflower lawn course is a great example. I did. I think I did that thing 16 times and every time I swore I would never do it again, I was like this, this was awful. I feel terrible. I'm not ever gonna do this again. But then a week later you're like, I think I could probably do it a little bit better next time. Right. And so, and there was the fact that my buddy didn't finish and he had never DNF anything in his life. He's actually the one who talked me into doing my first ultra. And so he was furious, absolutely furious that he did not finish that race. And so he's like, no, we're signing up. We're gonna go do it. I'm gonna finish. And I'm like, okay, I guess. And then the pandemic hits and it got canceled in, in 2020. But we signed back and he trained like a maniac all through the pandemic. I ended up spending a bunch of time in Kansas during the pandemic. [00:18:56] Craig Dalton: Yeah. [00:18:56] Doug Roeder: So he, and I would go out for rides in the Flint Hills and I would rent bikes at sunflower bike shop in Lawrence, Kansas, and just, they had their divergence set up with tubes and I just was blowing the things up right. And left. And so, decided I, I bought a Kansas bike found a salsa cutthroat, which is a monster truck of a bike with 29 inch mountain bike wheels and got that, put it in my buddy's garage. And so that's. So he, he, he used that to train on used that as sort of, and, and got himself a better bike as well. But we were kind committed once and I think had he finished, we may never have done it again, but the fact that he didn't finish, we kinda signed get him the finish line in and had two years to train for it. [00:19:38] Craig Dalton: and so were you successful getting 'em across the finish line? [00:19:40] Doug Roeder: We did, we, we got it done. Went out at a nice, slow pace. We did not have the rest of the crew with us. One of 'em had a baby, so it was just the two of us that year. And his 80 year old dad who lives in Bakersfield came to be our support crew. So coverage, Flint, where to the same north course, we kind set up the day before, but we went out and again, south wind, hot, humid just punishing. But we took our time. Got the nutrition ride, you know, any of these long events, they're, they're eating competitions as much as anything. But he had had two years to train and, and we got it done. We finished around 1230. So again, I guess they call it that the breakfast club. So we both, we crossed the finish line together just a wonderful day out on the bike. And it was really gratifying to, to get him over the line. And that was when he was, he told me that we were going for the thousand mile cha [00:20:30] Craig Dalton: And what is that? [00:20:32] Doug Roeder: So, you know, if you ride the 200 race five times, they give you a CICE and it's part it's on the, you know, in the award ceremony on Sunday morning. And yeah, it's, it's something. So he, he and I are never gonna, you know, win our age group. That's just not who we are. But we could, we're pretty good at not stop 'em. So that's the goal now, apparently. And so, yeah, [00:20:56] Craig Dalton: Now you're slightly. You're slightly off sequence with your buddy. You may get there ahead of him. Are you gonna go for six? If that's the case? [00:21:04] Doug Roeder: I don't know. We'll see. And, and then, and you know, crazy things happen. I may be injured. I may not make one. So you just dunno how these things are gonna go, but become a goal here now in ours to try and finish that thing. And yeah, [00:21:16] Craig Dalton: Okay. [00:21:16] Doug Roeder: we're even more off sync. Once we get to 20 to this year's event, I'll tell you about that, but it's become a thing, you know, I go back there. I see family It's you know, as complicated as life gets later on with work and kids and everything to have a day or two a year, where all you gotta do is one simple thing. And it may a hard thing, but it's just one it's it's it's really enjoy. Wake up in old and try and bang out two miles and miles bike is it's refreshing psychologically. And it kinda helps me focus my training. [00:21:46] Craig Dalton: I [00:21:47] Doug Roeder: Yeah, we're gonna stick with it until we can't here for the next few years. [00:21:50] Craig Dalton: I love, I love how this all comes back to your connection to, to Kansas, and it's gotta make it even more special just to be there and be on that journey. [00:21:59] Doug Roeder: It is. And it's yeah, I mean, on that Northern course, there are some of those roads that I swear. I, I hunted pheasants on with my grandfather when I was a kid. And it's just surreal that again, thousands of cyclists from all over the planet are riding down these roads, getting flaps, just dealing with terrible conditions. Know, you might have it's the beauty is stark. And it's, I'm not gonna say it's as stunning as the grand canyon, it's not, but there is a similar discrepancy between the pictures you see and what you experience there. Just the vastness of it just can't on film. And when you're out there with this, you know, huge crowd of people it's, it's pretty stunning and and it's hard and. Yeah, my relatives, my aunts and uncles, I, I got buzzed by an aunt and her pilot boyfriend in school, bus, Piper, Cub in 20. So it's become a thing everyone forward to coming and doing it's lot for that reason. And then it's kinda crazy too. You've got all these great bay area athletes who come out there and, you know, Alison Terick from Penn, she's a household name in Emporia. You know, the winner the first year we did, it was Amity Rockwell. It just was amazing to me, the. Bay area cyclists. Who've made their names in Nowheresville, Kansas. It's just kind of cracks me up. So [00:23:11] Craig Dalton: It really is. You were talking about pacing in your 20, 21 effort. Do you find it hard? Not to get sort of wrapped up in the pace of everybody else? Were you and your, your buddy [00:23:21] Doug Roeder: yeah, that's [00:23:21] Craig Dalton: of just specifically disciplined and chastising each other? Don't chase that wheel. We gotta go slower. [00:23:27] Doug Roeder: that's you know, even though. Our focus, especially after having the one DNF in 19 was to maintain a steady pace, not go out too fast. You get that tailwind, you get in a group. Drafting's wonderful. But then you get to that first rough road. And at that point, You know, we saw Quinn Simmons running along the side of the road. You know, pros have blown up, you hit the rough flinty, gravel at speed and bad things start happening, but it's also great to be in a pack. We met two high school buddies who were half our age from Wisconsin, from some little town. They were doing their first race together. First bike race ever for the first bike event that I had signed up for the 200. So we started riding with them and we're trading poles. Next thing, you know, you know, there's not a cloud in the sky, but you feel a spray on, you know, a moist spray on your back and I'm like, what's going on back there? Oh man, you got sealant spraying all over the place. It's like pin wheeling outta your wheel. And so, yeah, it's easy to get caught up in the fun, especially early on. And man, we sprayed sealant all over two counties, but never went flat. But yeah, then we reeled it in the, the Hills eventually, or the heat will reel you in at some point or the headwind or ball three. But yeah, it is, it's difficult, especially early on when you're riding with a pack. [00:24:39] Craig Dalton: Yeah. Since I haven't been out there myself, I'm finally getting a picture after having spoken to so many people about this event in particular, my conversation recently with Mark Allen and he was describing, you know, you're following some wheels and you'd see someone get antsy because they wanted to pass someone and they would think, oh, I can just kind of ride over this Rocky section really fast. And sure enough, those Flint rocks, it's a recipe for a flat tire right [00:25:03] Doug Roeder: Yeah, it's just right there. And then every water crossing. I mean, I, this year, every water crossing, there were at least half a dozen people in the next quarter mile fixing flats. And I learned that first year in 2019, I, I dinged my chain in the water crossing and ended up having to fix it that you gotta be real careful, especially in that murky water. You can't see the bottom. You have no idea how deep it is. All, all kinds of sharks and yeah, you learn some things, but. [00:25:26] Craig Dalton: what's your, what's the technique then? Are you just kind of easing off and not kind of trying to keep full speed through the water sections? [00:25:32] Doug Roeder: Definitely. Yeah, you gotta slow down. Or if you see people, you see someone hit a line and they emerge safely. You take that line. If you're on your, at that point, depending where you're on the race, the Northern course didn't have that many water crossing this Southern course, especially with all the rain in the weeks, leading up to lot of water crossings. And I think a lot of flats came out those water crossing. So it's, [00:25:51] Craig Dalton: Yeah. [00:25:52] Doug Roeder: you just gotta be careful and they can be slick. And then there's just a whole wide variety of treachery out there. [00:25:57] Craig Dalton: In 2022 had a new variety of treachery that the last few years hadn't really been known for, as I understand it. [00:26:04] Doug Roeder: Indeed. And we were all excited. The Southern course, a little bit less vertical kind of had a reputation for kinda more rolling Hills rather than the sharp. I had been in Kansas for 10 days, like leaning up to the race and so knew that it had rained a lot knew that we were in for some wet conditions. But the temperatures were pretty cool and kinda day before it, you kinda not rain at all, then some popped overnight. And and yeah, but the, the cooler temperatures were just wonderful. I mean, you rolled out in the morning and it was a lot of people were chilly right. Outta the gates. But yeah, not much wind either. That was kind of a nice thing. And it was just kind of a nice, fun, easy role. And again, we were trying to, trying to get everybody over the line. So we we got to all the first neutral water stop. We were climbing the hill up to that at around mile 40. And I'm on the left side of a double track behind this woman. And I hear a guy shouting over my shoulder on your. On your left? No, we're coming up the middle and I look over my shoulder and a dozen dudes just blazing up this hill right down the grass between the two tracks. And it was the lead group from the hundred mile race. We the course with them up to that 40 mile point, they, and we kept going south. But as they blasted by the guy across from me said, Hey, that was Peter Shagan. And I'm like, what? This. time, green Jersey winner just blew by me in the middle of Kansas. How weird is that? And the day just got bizarre, more bizarre from that point on. [00:27:28] Craig Dalton: So, let me ask you a question. So that going into this one in 2022, it's your third year. what are a couple things you learned in the first two that you took, whether it's changes in your gear, changes in what you had when you were coming to your pit station? [00:27:42] Doug Roeder: Yeah, lots of real food pit stations be very disciplined about checking the chain. Luing the chain get more water than you think you need. Cause 40 miles might go by in a couple hours, or it might go by if you hit a stiff wind in some obstacles or a flat or something, it could take a lot longer. And as chilly as it was early in the day, I mean, the sun did pop out later in the day they got real hot. So if you kind of planned your hydration based on. What you were doing early in the day that, that didn't work later in the day. So to always take more hydration than you need real food versus just, you know, all goose, we'd roll up some sandwiches or whatever different things. And then we carry a lot of extra, you know, CO2 S and tube and, and things to fix punctures, which fortunately we didn't have to use this year, but. I think just being prepared for everything so that you don't end up in a situation where you have a mechanical, that requires you to all the way to you didn't have the right tool or you know, ran out whatever it would be very frustrating. And so [00:28:42] Craig Dalton: be a shame, particularly if tr trying to train up to 200 miles, you, you put in so much time and then to go do that and have something that you could have solved toward you would be terrible. So were, were you wearing a hydration pack? [00:28:56] Doug Roeder: Yes. Yeah, definitely. I got, I take a two and a half hydration pack and then two bottles. The other big learning is you gotta keep the bottles covered or have 'em someplace safe because the water it's all cattle, ranch land. And especially when you're spraying a lot of water everywhere once they get muddy, you don't really wanna drink out of them. So people will rubber put baggies over 'em things like that. Or some of 'em now have caps on 'em. So yeah, you learn a few things like that. [00:29:22] Craig Dalton: Yeah, so interesting. Okay. So interestingly, you know, when I've been hearing accounts of the 2022 event, depending on your pace, people seem to have had very different experiences. So when, when you listen to the pros, they seem to have gotten through some of these. Hugely muddy sections either got through it before it rained. So they just rode, rode the road. When you guys might have been hiking at early slopping through mud, or they had, you know, it just hit 'em at a different point in the race. When were you encountering mud and what was it like? [00:29:56] Doug Roeder: Yeah, mile 1 25. . We, we rolled into that. And I was on, you know, the salsa cutthroat with the 29 inch wheels and 2.2 inch tires. And I'm like, ah, this thing's, this thing's a mountain bike. I can ride through this. No problem. And I made it, I don't know, maybe 50 yards and just was slipping and sliding. Then it was time to hike and the smart folks, maybe some. Folks with cyclo cross backgrounds picked up their bikes. So they didn't keep accumulating mud fools like me pushed it along until the mud kind of clogged my wheel. Then I was stuck. Fortunately I had noticed in the shops in Emporia the previous day, everybody was handing out those paint sticks, the paint, stirring sticks. I was like, huh, maybe they know something that, that I, that I should know. And I, so I grabbed a couple of those and they were incredibly useful for cleaning the mud off. And that's, you know, I kinda. Tried a couple different tactics but pushed through it as fast as I could and got to the end. And there was kinda a stream where you could rinse your bike off. I hit it faster than my buddy did. And when he, he hit it a little after I did and it slowed him down a lot more. So I ended up waiting probably 20 minutes for him to get through it and it kind of crushed him carrying his bike through that. He came out the other side and was just an absolute wreck. So, and at that point, the sun came out. So we had just kinda, I'd had a nice break. He had suffered through carrying his bike through this stuff, [00:31:12] Craig Dalton: Yeah. If you think about it, you know, he is got a, you know, call it a 20 pound bike. He probably had 10 pounds of mud on it and gear, you know, it's just backbreaking work, pushing a bike. They just weren't designed to be pushed. [00:31:24] Doug Roeder: push or trying to carry it with a, you know, a bag strapped underneath it and a bunch of gear inside it. I mean, it was just a freaking mess and. Yeah, everybody was in that stream, washing their bikes off. It was a pretty miserable scene. And there were these two little kids that were, they were promising everybody. That that was the last. Which it ended up not being, and I'm still those I'm those two little kids sour folks and trying every, but was brutal was [00:31:50] Craig Dalton: Yeah. [00:31:52] Doug Roeder: both through that. [00:31:53] Craig Dalton: And I just think about that at mile 1 25, having to kind of reset and just having gone through that moment and say, I've got 75 frigging, more miles of gravel to go, not even thinking about there being mud because of the lying kids. You thought you were gonna be cruising back into Emporia. So you guys get back on your bike, you start hitting it is your buddy starting to recover a little. [00:32:13] Doug Roeder: No, cuz there was a, there was some decent climbing right after that. And around mile one 30, there was kind of a long climb. Like I said, the sun was back out at the time we were doing it and his stomach just failed him at that point. He got sick on the side of the road, tried to remount, tried to keep going and couldn't do it. He was done. So, he was upset. I was upset, sad for him. Really sad for him at that point I kinda looked at my watch. I was like, If I take off now, I know I'd kind of been resting a little bit waiting for him. I was like, I could, I could get in before midnight. I could, you know, and the party closes down and pour you at midnight. So I'd never experienced the post party. So I was all motivated to make some, some lemonade outta the lemons and and took off at that point. Yeah, I, [00:32:53] Craig Dalton: what a tough moment for you. Just, I mean, to know that he had, he had had that issue a couple years back. And to go on and go forward when he's sitting there on the side of the road, which obviously I'm sure any friend would want you to continue, but I'm sure you rolled out with a little bit of a heavy heart. [00:33:09] Doug Roeder: Well, I just knew that I'd have to come back one more time. So yeah, I, you know, these things happened and he was upset. I was upset. I felt a little bit of a heavy heart, but mostly like, okay, this is just things happen out here. And he called the Jeep and they came to get him. I failed to mention, you know, his dad who's 81, 82 and had been our support crew. The previous year. He had so much fun being our support crew that he had signed up for the five mile race and had bought a bike and was, and so I was, he was looking forward to just getting back to seeing how his dad, when he'd received some texts from his dad, A picture of him in the pouring rain and saying how much funny it had. And so he was excited to get back and see his dad and meet me at the finish. So we were actually in pretty good spirits. Surprisingly, it's just, again, it's one of those things that happens and if you can't eat and stomach's, can't go on. So he's a pretty upbeat dude. And so I took off at that point and rode hard for 70 miles. I finished around 11, 15 in the dark and party was still going on. So I got, got a couple free beers and some tacos and it was it was really fun. And we we had, I didn't mention this. We had given a few folks rides from Kansas city down to Emporia, and that was kind of a crazy experience too. Two folks two cyclists from New York, apparently there's a New York city gravel scene. And one of the racers was a 25 year old with a, a bike packing background. She was coming to do the 200, the other racer was a 37 year old father with a road racing background. He was there to do the hundred. Neither of 'em had been to Kansas before. Their flight had been delayed and they got in at like four in the morning. And so their friends had gone down to Emporia. They needed a ride. They got on the Facebook page and my friend had noticed them and we had room in the car. So just riding down to Emporia again with these two folks. Had never been to Kansas before they're New York city, gravel writers and they're, they're coming here to, to challenge themselves. It was, it was pretty shocking for two like high school buddies from Kansas to see that. And so one of them came across the finish line while we were sitting there around midnight. And again, it's the range of folks you encounter there. Folks like the last gentleman you had on Peter Sagan gravel writers from New York. It's just, it's, it's very strange to me. And and kind of fun. [00:35:18] Craig Dalton: Have you noticed it blow up even further from the 2019 experience to now in terms of the scale of everything? Yeah, [00:35:23] Doug Roeder: The scale the range of backgrounds it's it really has kept, kept going and it's, it's. Again, you know, we have some of the most amazing cycling on the planet here in the bay area. But I still get a big hoot outta going and riding crappy roads in Kansas with thousands of all over the world. It's, it's a weird thing, but its. [00:35:42] Craig Dalton: I think that, I mean, the team, we started it always. Had this idea of what the community experience was gonna be like for the event and always, and this is what I, I love about every event organizer that I talk to. It's a, it's a love letter to your local trails, right? You're you've got the opportunity to put on an event and you're gonna just wanna showcase everything that your home town has to offer. And that's when we get the best events, like when they come from the. [00:36:09] Doug Roeder: And it's inspired. I mean, there's a, there's a gravel ride in the Kansas or Missouri area, like every weekend now. So it's, there's a lot of folks, you know, and then there are people kind of replicating the model in other states and and I mean, the grasshoppers have been going on out here forever, but it, it it's really kind of created a template, I think for a lot of folks to create races in places where folks hadn't thought to do it before and a lot of fun. [00:36:35] Craig Dalton: Yeah, I think that's, I've talked to with a bunch of event organizers about sort of the economic impact of bringing these types of events to rural communities and the dynamics that come into play. You actually get supportive city councils and land [00:36:47] Doug Roeder: Yes [00:36:49] Craig Dalton: Whereas I, you know, [00:36:50] Doug Roeder: I mean, I, yeah. [00:36:51] Craig Dalton: Yeah, yeah. You get the high school kids coming out. Whereas out here in the bay area, you get nothing but resistance cuz no one wants anybody to come ride here. [00:37:00] Doug Roeder: Yeah. And as big as Levi's rad got at one point, I mean, there were thousands and thousands of people. I think you, you might meet a few locals. Who'd be out cheering on their front lawn, but a lot of folks just resented all the cyclists, you know, hogging the roads that day. And whereas out in the middle of Emporia, I mean, everybody is incredibly happy to see you. It's it's really kind of fun. [00:37:19] Craig Dalton: Yeah. I imagine out in the smaller communities or even going by someone's house, out on the Prairie, like they're out there just enjoying the spectacle that comes by once a. [00:37:28] Doug Roeder: I think, you know, in the, the, what's the name of the town where the second checkpoint was Madison, I think the entire town showed up downtown. You know, and that was, they were just having a big whole party and it's yeah. So the communities where they have the support stops really show up in force You got volunteer kids, you know, Manning the crew for hire. And it's just a, yeah, there's a lot of enthusiasm for the racers and the race. [00:37:52] Craig Dalton: Yeah. Yeah. Amazing. Well, thanks Doug, for sharing so much about this story, I love that you've been doing this. I love that gravel's kind of reconnected us socially and we'll definitely get out and do some riding together at some point in the near future. [00:38:04] Doug Roeder: Congratulations on the podcast. It was it really warm my heart to find this. As I kind of discovered the whole gravel scene, I was oblivious to it. Like I said, until, you know, a few random people clued me into this race in Kansas and it's it's been really fun to reconnect and see, see what you've done with this podcast. And I hope to get you out to Emporia. We gotta bed for you and Kansas. Anytime you're ready to come out. [00:38:24] Craig Dalton: I love it. The draw continues to get heavier and heavier for me. So I think I'll get out there one of these days [00:38:30] Doug Roeder: Sounds good, Craig. I'll be. [00:38:32] Craig Dalton: upstairs. Right on.

This week on The Blind Rage Podcast, Tony sits down with me to watch another under-seen and under-appreciated ‘80s gem. FAR FROM HOME stars a teenage Drew Barrymore on a road trip with her father (played by Matt Frewer). Their car runs out of gas in the middle of Nowheresville, Nevada and they're forced to take up temporary residence in a trailer park, where an unseen killer lurks. Perhaps the script leaves much to be desired. Maybe the story is a little too predictable. But any/all plot issues are easily forgivable due to the stellar cast, which includes Susan Tyrell, Richard Masur, Dick Miller, Anthony Rapp, Andras Jones, and a young Jennifer Tilly, among others. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/blindragepod/message
Hear now, the word of the Lord from Matthew chapter four, starting in verse 12. 12 Now when he heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew into Galilee. 13 And leaving Nazareth he went and lived in Capernaum by the sea, in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali, 14 so that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled: 15 “The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles— 16 the people dwelling in darkness have seen a great light, and for those dwelling in the region and shadow of death, on them a light has dawned.” 17 From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” 18 While walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon (who is called Peter) and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. 19 And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” 20 Immediately they left their nets and followed him. 21 And going on from there he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and he called them. 22 Immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him. 23 And he went throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction among the people. 24 So his fame spread throughout all Syria, and they brought him all the sick, those afflicted with various diseases and pains, those oppressed by demons, those having seizures, and paralytics, and he healed them. 25 And great crowds followed him from Galilee and the Decapolis, and from Jerusalem and Judea, and from beyond the Jordan. Matthew 4:12-25, ESV The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God endures forever. In 1940, Maurice and Richard MacDonald opened a new restaurant in San Bernardino, California. They named it after themselves, and this was the launch of the first McDonald's restaurant. In the beginning, McDonald's served various kinds of foods, with various ways of preparing that food until about eight years later. In 1948, the McDonald brothers closed down their restaurant for about three months and then reopened the restaurant after they had a chance to reorganize and rebuild and retrain their staff to do what they were doing, according to a very different model. It was a model that was based on efficiency where they used to produce many kinds of food prepared in many kinds of ways. They simplified things so that they only made a few things, and they made them very efficiently, very inexpensively, and they hoped very well. Well, this model was an extraordinary success. They were doing extremely well. Even so, the McDonald's brothers were leery about expanding beyond that initial restaurant in San Bernardino, California. They needed someone else to come alongside them a visionary, a man named Ray Kroc, to see what they were doing.Someone to see the potential for what they were doing and to encourage them, to urge them to begin franchising what they were doing throughout the rest of the state of California, throughout the rest of the United States, and eventually throughout the entire world. Now this story of the founding of McDonald's is one of the iconic stories of the American Dream. It's a story where you have these people who are working in relative obscurity and they're putting together a product and they're working hard to build it. Then when they needed to, they pivoted and they perfected their product until it was so good, even they didn't realize its potential. Someone else had to come along to expand it, to say let's go public, let's go global with this. Now, the reason I want to bring this story up is because I think this is often the idea that we have in mind of sort of the standard story we tell about how really important things get started this American dream. This American ideal is encapsulated in the story of McDonald's, and there's certainly nothing wrong with this. The Bible actually gives us a lot of wisdom about how to start things, about how to work hard, about how to be industrious and productive and prudent in our work, to produce something of lasting value. The Proverbs are filled with this kind of wisdom. It's very important to have a clear vision for that when we start to talk about the public ministry of Jesus, so that we are very careful not to overlap the two. Not to interpret one in light of the other. To disentangle what we might think about the folklore of American founders myths and instead look at the story of what Jesus does with very different eyes, with very different lenses. To see that what he is doing is very different than what the McDonald's brothers did when they launched there at the beginnings of what became to become the McDonald's empire. Because if we don't see this, we will miss a couple of key things that are going on here. The first is that we will miss the true obscurity and the true inefficiency of the way that Jesus begins his ministry in Galilee. By all human estimations, by all outward ways of looking at this, Jesus chose the wrong place to start his ministry. He didn't go to the popular cultural centers of the world within Israel. He didn't even go to Jerusalem, the capital city. He ministered in nowheresville in Galilee. He ministered where the darkness was deepest and it was there where the light dawned. One other thing we will miss as we look at this is that perhaps we will think that Jesus only eventually realized just how good his message was; in the way that the McDonald's brothers had to be persuaded to take their McDonald's franchise public. Because what we need to see here is that the global implications of the Kingdom of Heaven are present right away from the beginning in what Jesus does here. If we don't see it, we're going to miss these elements that are there right from the beginning as Jesus begins his public ministry. We need to remember that every part of this ministry was planned before the foundations of the Earth. Before the dawn of time, God, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit had planned everything that Jesus is going to do. Make no mistake, Jesus came to make disciples of all nations. That's our big idea that Jesus came to make disciples of all nations. That's his ministry. That's his method. That's everything, to make disciples of all nations. So in this passage, this summary of the beginning of Jesus's public ministry, we are going to see three aspects of this global disciple making kingdom. The Message of Discipleship The Mandate of Discipleship The Ministry of Discipleship The Message of Discipleship So let's start with the message of discipleship in verses 12 through 17. The first section here, verse 12, is a very important transition in the gospel of Matthew. Read with me, and let me show you what's happening here. Verse 12, “Now, when he heard that John the Baptist had been arrested.” Now stop right there for a moment. This word for arrested is very literally the word to give over or to hand over throughout the rest of the gospel of Matthew. This is the same word that will regularly be used to talk about the way that Jesus will be arrested. In fact, this is the word that's commonly translated as betrayed on the night when Jesus was betrayed. That's this word right here, right from the beginning of Jesus's public ministry. The very first word we hear about this public ministry brings a looming shadow of the cross over everything that Jesus does. Just as John the Baptist was arrested here at the beginning, so at the end, Jesus will be betrayed and handed over to the authorities and crucified. Make no mistake, Jesus knows exactly what he has come to do, and it absolutely necessitates a path through the cross. That's the first way the transition to the cross becomes increasingly clear, right from the very first word. The second thing we read is that when he heard that John had been arrested, we read that he withdrew into Galilee. Now, as I said a moment ago, Galilee is nowheresville. Galilee is northern, the northern part of the territory that belonged to Israel for a while that God had given as the promised land to his people. But by this time, a lot of different things had happened, and those who lived in the northern tribes had largely been scattered. Jews here lived, yes, but there were also a lot of Gentiles as we'll talk about a little bit more in a moment. But Galilee was not the center. Galilee was not the important part of the world, and it wasn't even the important part of Israel. Yet Jesus will remain ministering in Galilee all the way until Matthew chapter 19. He isn't going to turn south until Matthew 19, and he doesn't enter Jerusalem until the triumphal entry in Matthew chapter 21. Again, we'll see more in Galilee in a moment when we look at the prophecy of Isaiah. The third thing we see here that it's a transition is that now officially Jesus's public ministry starts. Before this, everything had been preparatory for this public ministry. In chapter one, we saw the preparation of Jesus's qualification. We saw the way that he is the legal heir to the throne of David by having been adopted as the son of Joseph, who was in the biological lineage of David. We saw in chapter two how wise men from the East came to hail him as king, which shook up and disoriented and made angry, fitfully murderously angry, the illegitimate King Herod. We saw that Jesus had to go down to Egypt to escape Herod so that he would be able to re-enact the history of Israel by going to Egypt and being brought out of Egypt, just as Israel had so many years before. We saw in chapter three how Jesus was baptized and even anointed by the Holy Spirit for ministry, declared as the Son of God by his Father speaking from heaven. Then in the beginning of chapter four, we saw the temptation where Jesus was led in the wilderness, again re-enacting the 40 years history of Israel in the wilderness in 40 days and 40 nights. Then Jesus's temptation, where he faithfully resisted every temptation that Satan could throw at him. Now that Satan has been defeated in this initial battle, Satan is set to the side, he is bound. The strongman is bound so that Jesus can go into the strongman's house, the territory that formerly belonged to Satan in this area of darkness, Galilee of the Gentiles, to begin his rescue mission where the darkest darkness is thickest. This is the beginning of Jesus's public ministry. Again, this is going to be in Galilee. Not in Judea, not in Jerusalem in the south. This is in northern Galilee, in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali. If you don't know what those are, you can be forgiven because their names hardly come up. These are two of the tribes of Israel whose inheritances were in the northern part of Israel. And we read that the fact that Jesus would minister here was foretold in the prophet Isaiah. Matthew quotes Isaiah 9:1-2, “by the land of Zebulun and the Land of Naphtali”, the way of the sea beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles or Galilee of the Nations. This is the place where many Jewish people lived, but this is a place where there were also many of the Gentiles who were living there. This was by virtue of where it was the corridor to the rest of the world. That's what we read about in verse 16, “The people dwelling in darkness have seen a great light.” Understand the northern part of the Promised Land of Israel was the way in which any enemies had to come up and over and down. They couldn't march straight west to get across the wilderness, to get to Israel directly. What they had to do is to go up and around and down through Galilee. So Galilee was the corridor through which all the nations came to attack the people of God. Syria came down during the days of Isaiah, as well as the more barbarous empire of Syria. Syria marched through Galilee and conquered all of these nations, including the tribes of Zebulun and Naphtali, along with the other 10 tribes of the northern area of Israel. This was an area of darkness and war and death. These were those who are dwelling in the region and the shadow of death, as we read Matthew quoting in verse 16 and as Isaiah said so long ago, this is where a light will dawn. There was a promise that a light would dawn here, and it's to this area that Jesus comes the great light, the light of light, the one who is the light of life. Here he comes to this area to be a light in a dark place because you see Assyria, the great empire that conquered the northern ten tribes of Israel, the nation that marched all the way south to come right to the gates of Jerusalem, and then were turned away by the miraculous work of God. This Assyrian empire is long gone, but in this area, the people are still dwelling in deep spiritual darkness. It's here where Jesus goes first. We should remember Matthew was quoting Isaiah 9:1-2. We should remember what comes just a few verses later in verses six and seven. Matthew is not just quoting only this portion, he's quoting the whole context. He wants us to remember everything that Isaiah chapter nine prophecies. Isaiah 9:6-7 declares this For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 7 Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this. Isaiah 9:6-7, ESV Now, one commentator pointed out, and I honestly had not thought of this myself, this passage is nowhere directly quoted in the New Testament. It's such an obvious prophecy of Jesus, and it's nowhere directly quoted or cited in the New Testament. The closest thing we have is right here, where Matthew quotes the first part of the chapter trying to get our ears to remember what's coming later. That the Son, this child is born to re-establish the reign and the throne of David and of his kingdom, of his government there will be no end. That's what Jesus is doing here, and it all starts in Nowheresville, the darkest place on Earth, in Galilee. It's here in verse 17 that the public ministry of Jesus begins with his preaching, “Repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.” Verbatim, Jesus preaches the exact same message as we saw earlier from John the Baptist in 3:2, “Repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.” We talked about how repentance is first and foremost. The Greek word means a change of mind. It means that we repent from our sin and think differently about our sin, specifically in judging it differently. Not just to say, oh yeah, I don't see that the same way as I used to, but to recognize and to acknowledge that we are guilty in the sight of God. It's a change of mind, but it's a change of mind that stems from a change of heart. That from the depths of our soul, we begin to hate the filth, meanness and odiousness of our sin. We haven't just recognized that it's wrong, we hate it. Repentance is a change of mind that stems from a change of heart that leads into a change of life. The Hebrew word that's often translated in repentance in the Old Testament means turning, a turning from one thing to another. Where our lives are formally given to sin, we turn them to look instead to follow Jesus Christ by faith. A change of mind that stems from a change of heart that leads to a change of life. The reason we do this is in view of the coming of the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus is declaring the king is here, the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand and in view of the kingdom, repent. The public ministry of Jesus, with these words, is underway. Now, there's a funny episode of a television show where there are these two characters who are at a live performance of a musical, and they aren't necessarily people you would think of as attending a musical. But the first character is sort of notoriously annoying, and he's talking and the second character really doesn't seem like he'd be someone at a musical. But he stops the other character, and he says, “If we don't listen to the overture, we won't recognize the musical themes when they come back later.” Now, if you know that quotation, it's a funny line in this particular show. I quote it because it's probably the best explanation of what's happening during the initial introduction of music. In musicals or in operas you listen to hear the musical themes when they come back later. Already we're hearing a few of these themes come up and we listen, so we don't miss them when they come up later. We've seen the theme of the cross, the very first words that narrate for us, the public ministry of Jesus tell us about how John was arrested, handed over in the same words that will describe the way Jesus must be handed over to the hands of wicked men to be crucified. That theme of the cross is going to come up again and again and again until Jesus gives up his last breath on the cross. Later, in the book of Matthew, the second theme we hear is about Galilee. Galilee, the corridor to reach the nations of the Gentiles. Already, the universal global implications of the conquest of Jesus's kingdom is in view. He knows what he's doing. Jesus came to make disciples of all nations. The Mandate of Discipleship Now, when we come to the second section, in verses 18 to 22, another theme is going to come up. It's the theme of discipleship and Matthew has a deep interest. What he's going to say tells us a lot about discipleship through the rest of this gospel. So in the second section, we come to the mandate of discipleship. Jesus's mandate, his command to follow him as his disciples. Now Leon Morris, the commentator, describes what we read in verses eighteen to twenty-two as something of a simple account. We hear the story of how Jesus calls four of his disciples here, and later on we're going to hear the story of how Jesus calls a fifth disciple, Matthew himself, the author of this gospel. We're going to hear his story. He's going to tell us how Jesus called him and not as a fisherman, but as a tax collector to follow him as a disciple. Yet we don't read about Jesus calling any of the other disciples. We just hear the standard overview that these were his disciples. These seven other people were his disciples, but we don't hear their story. The reason this is a simple account of discipleship is we're probably meant to understand that every time Jesus called those other seven disciples, it sounded like this. So we read about these four fishermen, two sets of brothers and Jesus walking by the Sea of Galilee. He's still in Galilee. Verse 18, “While walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon (who is called Peter) and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.” Then we read a little bit later in verse twenty-one and going on, “And going on from there he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and he called them.” So two sets of brothers who are all fishermen. Now these fishermen were rough. They would have been tough. These would have been blue collar men who knew how to get the job done, but they are probably not poor. Sometimes we think about the disciples as destitute, and they didn't really have much going for them until Jesus called, but that's probably not the case. In Mark 1:20, Don Carson points out that in Mark chapter 20, we read about the hired men that are left behind to continue running the fishing operation. They weren't necessarily poor. In fact, the emphasis that we are getting here in this story is how much they leave behind. It's a story about the cost of discipleship, and they're counting the cost of the discipleship. So when Jesus says in verse 19, follow me and I will make you fishers of men. He's saying he's giving a physical description. There's different ways of describing following Jesus, but it always describes a physical following behind Jesus, because that's what disciples did. They followed behind their master and physically went wherever the master went. Then we read in verse 20, “immediately they left their nets and followed him.” Then verse 22 James and John respond in the exact same way, “Immediately, they left the boat.” Now, one person points out, well, notice both of them had nets and both of them had boats. Both of them leave nets and boats. But we read about leaving the nets first and then reading the boat second. We're reading about the totality, and Matthew is so good at saying this in a concise way. They left everything behind. They left everything behind. With James and John, we also read about how they left behind their father. It wasn't just their trade, it wasn't just their property, it was their relations, their father, they left behind as part of the cost of the call to follow Jesus as his disciples. The call to discipleship that Matthew was going to tell us so much more about in this book is costly. But these first disciples didn't hesitate, they didn't wait. They immediately left their nets and their boats and their father to follow Jesus. Why didn't they hesitate even a little bit for this? Well, I have a friend, an elder in another church who has very much internalized a mission of trying to teach people to remember what we learn in the fourth commandment, to remember the Sabbath Day and to keep it holy. He's trying to teach other people in his church and lead them in modeling and teaching that the whole day is to be given to worship, except insofar as where works of necessity or works of mercy require our attention. As he's talking with people about what it would mean to give the whole Lord's Day, that we're on today, to the worship of God, what would that entail? He says he finds in a lot of cases he's hearing objections about what this will cost them. Does this mean that I have to give up football? Does this mean that I have to give up the Super Bowl? Does this mean that I have to give up a chance to get caught up on a busy week or a chance to get ahead on what I know will be a busy week at work? Does this mean that I have to give up time just to relax, me time? Can't I just relax? One of the illustrations, and I found this such a vivid illustration so I'm borrowing it from him. Whenever he has these conversations, he says, well, think about the cost like this; if someone came to you today and they said, I will give you one billion billion, with a B for boy, billion dollars for your house. Would you go home and start itemizing every square foot of your home and start calculating it out and start trying to see? Boy, I don't know, let's see how much this is actually worth. No, you know, your house is worth something, but you know it doesn't come close to a billion dollars for the exchange. You wouldn't hesitate immediately. You would leave your house for the billion dollars you would get in exchange for leaving it. These disciples are giving up everything they have to gain, everything they could never have apart from Jesus. You give up everything to gain the whole world and then some to gain Christ himself and everything he has not necessarily in this life, but certainly in the life to come. I've often quoted this, but it's worth quoting again. Jim Elliott, a missionary who is a martyr gave his life bearing witness as a disciple of Jesus, calling others to be his disciples. Once said, “He is no fool to give up what he cannot keep to gain what he can never lose.” These disciples are no fools. They're following the master to gain what they can never lose. See here that in this story, we are hearing about the first disciples at the outset of Jesus ministry. There's one of those themes for the gospel of Matthew and the lessons. We don't miss it when it comes up again. We are seeing this theme of discipleship. Jesus has them follow him to come behind him. He will teach them, he will train them, he will test them, and they will make many mistakes that we will see along the way. They will even make the grave mistake the sin of abandoning Jesus in his hour of need. Yet through them, Jesus will establish his kingdom in this world. The Ministry of Discipleship Well, this brings us to the third section, the third aspect of this global disciple making mission and kingdom. We see now the ministry of discipleship in the third section of verses 23 through 25. So in verse 23, we read that, “Jesus went throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction among the people.” Another word for proclaiming, is another way to translate that word for preaching that we saw earlier in verse 17. We should remember that Jesus's proclamation, his message mirrors what we saw earlier in John the Baptist in Matthew 3:2. We are also seeing here some of the differences between the ministry of John and Jesus. So they preach the same message, but Jesus doesn't go to the wilderness of Judea in the South, as John does. Jesus goes to Nowheresville, dark Galilee. John the Baptist baptized in the Jordan River, but Jesus taught in the synagogues. He went to every tiny, out-of-the-way village where they had these little churches who would come together for the reading of the word of God and for prayers, just like we're doing today. With a fuller revelation of Jesus Christ and him crucified, Jesus went into these synagogues to teach rather than preaching publicly outdoors at the Jordan River. John the Baptist was only a preacher, whereas Jesus is a preacher and a teacher. John baptized, Jesus did not baptize, he had other people baptized for him. Jesus came to heal every disease and affliction. The main difference between John and Jesus, then, is that John came to announce the kingdom and he came to prepare people for the coming of the kingdom, whereas Jesus came to set up the kingdom. Jesus comes to establish the kingdom by his word, his teaching about the word of God and by his deeds, by all of the miracles he would perform to heal people as a symbol of the great healing work that he would work for them at the cross. We read that just as Jesus went throughout all Galilee, we read in verse twenty-four that his fame spread throughout all Syria, just north of there. They brought him all the sick, those afflicted with various diseases and pains. Those are oppressed with various diseases, or those are oppressed by demons, those having seizures and paralytics, ahe healed them. Notice all Galilee, all Syria, all the sick. One commentator points out, this is getting at the comprehensiveness of Jesus's ministry. He was everywhere all the time, ministering as far as he could physically take himself. Then we read in verse twenty-five that great crowds followed him. They followed him from Galilee and the Decapolis, a Gentile area, and from Jerusalem and Judea, and from beyond the Jordan, the Jordanian area. This is from everywhere. There's an emphasis here, we get a sampling here of all the nations, all the nations are already in view in the discipleship of Jesus. It's returned to that theme of all the nations making disciples of all the nations. What should we make of these crowds? Well, these crowds are following Jesus in some ways, like his disciples are following him. What we are going to see from these crowds is that not all of them are regenerate. Not all of them really know and love Jesus right now. You know, I've heard different statistics cited for this idea, but people who come to believe in Christ have heard the gospel already seven times. They've heard the gospel seven times before believing or in some statistics it takes 18 times for someone to hear the gospel enough to believe in Jesus Christ. Now, I'm not sure if this statistic is accurate statistically, especially because there are so many in the Bible and so many in life experience now who hear the gospel for the first time and respond to Jesus and faith. I don't know what exactly the numbers are, but I do know that what that idea expresses is certainly the case of these crowds that follow Jesus. We know that there are some in the crowds who already believe, they are already following Jesus in faith. The hint that we give to this doesn't come until after Jesus has been crucified, after he has been resurrected, after he has ascended into heaven. Because after that, the Apostles have to appoint a new apostle to take Judas' spot. Judas who betrayed, handed over Jesus. When they do so, the qualification is that they have to have someone who followed Jesus from the very beginning, from the baptism of John onward, and they were able to identify two men, Matthias and Joseph called Barnabas, in Acts chapter one who fit that qualification. They believed in Jesus and followed him from the beginning, though they had as many confusions and doubts and questions as the rest of the disciples. Yet right away, they're following Jesus by faith. There are, of course, some of these people who will never believe. When the time is right, they will turn from Jesus, they will abandon Jesus. They will demand that Jesus be crucified and that Barabbas, a murderer and an insurrectionist, be released instead of Jesus at the day of the crucifixion. There are also those who don't yet necessarily believe now, but that's coming at some point in the future. You know, you think of Nicodemus, who's hearing about Jesus and wants to talk to Jesus but doesn't understand what Jesus is teaching. Then by the end of John, he's there, helping to bury Jesus because he was looking for the kingdom. Or you think about these crowds who will be shouting, crucify him at the end of Matthew, who on the day of Pentecost their hearts will be cut to the quick and they will say, sirs, what must we do to be saved? How can we be saved? Different people come to follow and believe in Jesus in different ways and at different times. Now part of what I'm getting at is these crowds are a reminder that disciple making is endless. It is inefficient. This isn't the speedy service system. We cannot make disciples and the way McDonald's makes hamburgers. This work is messy. It is filled with ups and downs. But it's the ministry that Jesus both modeled and that he mandated for his church to carry on after him. Throughout the scriptures, we have encouragement because this is such hard labor to make disciples. Paul writes in 2 Thessalonians 3:13, “Do not grow weary in doing good.” Then he reminds us in 1 Corinthians 3:6 that “One will plant, another will water, but it is God who gives the growth.” You may plant and never hear anything from the person you've planted in, only to find an eternity to come that because of your seed planting God, used someone else to water that person's life and God through all of that gave the growth of leading that person to know Jesus. Jesus himself reminded us that one will sow and another will reap, in John chapter four, but that both will rejoice together. So Paul encourages us in the Lord, your labor is not in vain in 1 Corinthians 15:55. Why? Because making disciples is hard. It's endless. It's wearisome. It's inefficient. It is up and down. Application The application we see from all this is to make disciples of all nations. That's what Jesus came to do, to make disciples of all nations. That's our application, make disciples of all nations. From the beginning of Jesus's public ministry, he's building this culture of discipleship. So he begins to preach in verse 17, but immediately after launching the ministry himself, he begins to call disciples to come after him. He calls them to have a front row seat, to see everything the master did, to hear everything that the master taught, to learn after him by direct observation. Ultimately, Jesus will send these disciples to be his witnesses in Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the Earth. Now at Harvest, our mission is taken directly from this. Our mission is that we are making disciples who worship and serve. So I want to take a moment to connect what Jesus is doing here 2000 years ago with what we are busy with at Harvest week in and week out. First, let's have a reminder of the message of discipleship, repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. Discipleship has to begin with the gospel. It has to begin with the proclamation that we are sinners who fall short of the glory of God and that we are guilty in God's sight and that God finds our sin filthy and odious, even if we do not. So Jesus, by grace, calls us to turn from that to have a change of mind about our sin, that stems from a change of heart, that overflows into a change of life as we turn from our sin and instead look to Jesus by faith. Repent, you're a sinner condemned to die. Repent in light of God's grace. God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance, but you must repent for the kingdom as at hand. In the Kingdom of Jesus, there is abundant room for sinners, but there was no room for sin. So let me say that another way. There is abundant room for repentant sinners. As we leave behind our old ways to embrace the call to discipleship, to follow in Christ's ways. But there is no room to bring with us our sin, to limp between two opinions. We preach this gospel week in and week out to call you and to remind us and strengthen us and to encourage ourselves to carry on as the disciples of Jesus. That's the message of discipleship. Second, we have this mandate of discipleship, we must help others to follow Jesus. Jesus sends us as his witnesses, to call other people to follow after Jesus. Mark Dever has a really helpful definition. He says that, ”Discipleship refers to our own following Christ.” When we're thinking about how we follow Jesus, that's our discipleship. But then he says, “Discipling or making disciples, is a subset of that. It's a part of that, which means to help someone else to follow Christ.” Followers of Christ, and part of what that means to follow Christ means that we must serve others to help them to follow Christ too. Now just as Jesus has from the very beginning of his mission, trying to build this culture of discipleship. That's what we're trying to do at Harvest. We're trying to build this culture of discipleship. That was here certainly before I got here, that was here before Harvest was planted. That we'll be here long after we are dead and gone. There's this culture of continually calling and whatever age we are given, whatever neighbors are in our midst, whatever opportunities we have to call people in our sphere of influence to follow after Jesus during the course of our lives. Before we can talk about the structures and the programs and the partnerships at Harvest, we have to think then about this vision for discipleship. A passion for disciplining people. This isn't something we farm out to parachurch organizations. This isn't something conducted by lone ranger Christians. This is the mandate that Christ is given to his church. Make disciples of all nations. That's the mandate we have. Then finally, we have third, the ministry of discipleship. Jesus shows us here his ministry by word and by deed. Discipleship again starts with the Ministry of the Word. It begins with the preaching of the gospel repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. Turn from your sins and embrace Christ by faith. There's no hope of salvation outside of Jesus. So in the church, Jesus has given pastors and elders to lead in this formal preaching and teaching ministry in the church. To be dedicated to a ministry of word and prayer. There's also informal ministry of teaching happening all the time. We have Bible studies, we have Sunday school classes, we have Wednesday night where we are disciplining children and youth, and there's leadership development. We have prayer groups. We have personal conversations. Every conversation you have is an opportunity to help someone follow Christ more closely. We have these opportunities both here in Omaha and to all nations through our missions. Work discipleship begins with the proclamation of the word, the Ministry of the Word. But then discipleship also requires this ministry of deed. We're not given the ongoing gifts of healing. We certainly pray for healing and God heals, but we don't have these ongoing gifts of healing that Jesus had. Those were for the early church as a confirmation of the message of the Gospel of Jesus. Nevertheless, discipleship requires ministry of mercy to the poor, the sick and the suffering. Again, Jesus gives officers deacons to his church to lead us in ministry of generosity and ministries of mercy. If you're not an officer, you're just here today. What about you? Where do you fit into all of this? But let me give you a couple of opportunities to partake in Jesus Christ's global, over the course of thousands of years, disciple making kingdom. This is your part of this. First of all, I want to start, we have a value of being a church that has given over to prayer. That we are dependent upon prayer. We need prayer warriors. We need people who are dedicated to secret prayer. If you can do nothing else, dedicate yourself to secret prayer. Get a copy of the directory and pray down the list of the people in this church for their needs as far as you know them. Pray for the people of this church. Also next week we have our monthly prayer service, come to this. That's a time where, as a church, we give ourselves to prayer outside of our normal Sunday morning worship ministries. As well as the other groups that have for prayer along the week. There's a women's prayer group and there's a men's prayer group. Give yourself to prayer. This is one more reminder that this isn't like building a business. Planting new churches are not like opening new franchises. We are entirely dependent upon God's Spirit, and we are dependent upon God's Spirit through prayer. So we need people to pray. The second thing we need is children's discipleship ministries. God has blessed us with many children in this church. What a blessing we have here with children. We need teachers, we have a number of teachers who are very faithful. We need, if you have any interest in serving by teaching children understand, please come talk to us, especially Andrew is coordinating a lot of this. We need people who can help with this ministry on Sunday mornings, with nursery or Sunday school, but especially on Wednesday night. We have a number of teachers who we sort of have just the people there, and if they're sick or can't be there, it's a scramble to kind of fill holes and fill gaps there. Please help. God is doing some wonderful things on Wednesday night to disciple our children. Please be a part of that. We need teachers. We need also deed ministry. There are people helping faithfully to serve food. If you want to be a part of that, please let us know. We'd love for you to help with that ministry. We need prayer, we need children's discipleship and we need outreach. Now we're going to talk about this a little bit more in the coming months, but we are coming to the end of a three year campaign, the Building on a Firm Foundation campaign. If you were here three years ago, or if you've read some of the brochures that are out in the parlor. By the way, grab one if you haven't had one. We have boxes of these, grab one even if you just want to wallpaper your house with them. When we talked about this campaign that we had, we talked about some of the outreach that we wanted to do. We were praying that as part of investing in this building and repairing some of the structural issues that we had here, we wanted to be here because of the strategic importance of being here to reach some of the people around us. We were praying that God would bring us college students, and by God's grace, you're all here. Thank you for being here today. We've been praying for you for the last several years, that college students would be here. So can you host college students for lunch? That's happening next week. We also talked a lot about outreach to ESL. Some of the people right around our church, we found a statistic that 23 percent of the households within one mile of Harvest speak a language other than English. Harvest has in the past had this wonderful ministry of ESL, English as a Second Language, to build relationships with people in our midst who don't yet know Christ. If you're interested in that, we would love to restart that. Talk to Mike Lueders. He has a passion and a burden for doing that. These are areas where we want to have increased outreach, increased children's discipleship, increased prayer. Finally, here's something that anyone can do, we need personal discipleship. Can you do something as simple as meeting regularly with one other person, reading the Bible and praying together, talking about what God is teaching you in your life. Building someone up. It's so simple, but it's so deep and rich in the discipleship ministry and the discipling ministries of the church. Discipleship and making disciples doesn't mean that you need to be an expert, you don't need a seminary degree or a doctorate. You don't need to be trained for 40 years before you're willing to enter into the fields of Harvest. Understand as disciples, you will make mistakes. Jesus called his disciples to come after him, and immediately they started making mistakes. You will, too. I do all the time. If you're here, you're further along than somebody. You're further along than your unbelieving neighbor or then someone who's never heard the gospel of Jesus. Can you help that person, even it's just inviting a neighbor to come with you to church. Or it's serving on Wednesday nights to our children. Can you help someone follow Jesus just a little bit better? This is the ministry we have of discipleship. It is the work that God gives us in this global kingdom work of making disciples. Just as Jesus began, so we are continuing to do this. Let's pray that God may strengthen us in this hard, messy, inefficient, difficult work of making disciples until he comes again. Let's pray. Heavenly Father, we pray that we would each individually follow Jesus as disciples. To repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand and to learn to embrace Christ by faith. We pray that insofar as you give us faith, that you would use us as your instruments to lead others to faith in Jesus and to grow in that faith as disciples of Jesus. Father, we are entirely dependent on the work of your Spirit. By the power of Jesus Christ who pours out this Spirit from heaven. And so we pray, send your Spirit and dwell your people. Empower your church for the disciple making ministries that you've given us, until the day that our Lord Jesus returns. It's in his name we pray. Amen.
A great artifact of termite trash gets the ITP treatment in this show: the Greenwich/Barry tune, "Hanky Panky."The Summits (1:49) [1963]. As Erik mentions, more people in the world could tell you about the summit of Mount Everest than can tell you anything about this girl group. This is the first released version, and it namechecks other groups who do "the hanky panky " - hot gossip!Tommy James & The Shondells (28:24) [1964/1966] These teens from Niles, Michigan recorded the tune in 1964 and it went from Niles to Nowheresville, but with a crucial layover in Pittsburgh, where it became a dance hit that then spread nationwide. Here's why: it rocks. Listen to this moldy oldie with fresh ears and you'll be asking to get hit one more time. The Mojo Men (1:03:22) [1966] Sly Stone produced this version, and the arrangement with funky 12-string guitar has his handprints all over it. Some good James Brown-style screams from the main Mojo man, too - you gotta hear this one!!
Hello. My name is Ty Wilson. And today we're talking about deposition preparation and some helpful information. And we're going to really cover today what you should not do if you're in a deposition. And we're going to start off by talking about answering the questions. You want to answer the questions that they ask, not the questions you think they want to know, the questions that they ask. And so what does that require? Well, that requires that you listen completely and attentively to the person who's asking the questions, which is going to be the opposing attorney. You want to listen, understand what they're saying. And if you don't understand, you want to ask. I'm sorry, I don't understand your question. Can you rephrase it? They will happily rephrase it. If they cannot rephrase it appropriately even your counsel may step in, as I've done in several cases. And so I think what they're asking you is to get clarification. The most important thing is that you understand what it is that you are asking under oath prior to the deposition, you're going to be sworn under oath. Everything you say will be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. And so that is something that is very important. It's very critical. And so you do not want to guess. You do not want to mislead. You do not want to lie, you want to be Truthful. And you want to get through the deposition as quickly as possible. Some other notes that we've made is, you don't want to talk endlessly. So when they ask you a question, you want to answer that question and answer that question only. You don't want to dance around it. If they say, Tell us where you live. “123 Main street, Nowheresville, Georgia. 3000. Not the address. It's a Ranch style house, all brick all around. I've got a little Creek that runs in the backyard. Our neighbors are really great in that neighborhood.” No, answer the question, the question only. If they ask you where you live. The better answer actually is Nowheresville. Georgia, what is your address? Make them ask you the specifics that they're looking for. If they don't, that's on them. That's not on you. Don't volunteer. You're there because you're required to be there. You're not there because that other attorney is your buddy.

Captain Renaud may not have passed the nightmare hazing ritual that is the Starfleet Academy entrance exam, but nonetheless he has the pride of being a starship captain... albeit of the transport ship Kallisko, a low-end slow-as-heck ship from Nowheresville. Can he save his ship from the massive space pop rock that is the Crystalline Entity? No, he cannot. Meanwhile, the Brothers Weems talk about the wild Kit-Kats of Japan and carbonating everyone's favorite dinner items. Get some antacid. It's an all new pod!
Gul Dolak isn't a Gul Dukat. He's not suave, definitely no ladies' man, and he's stuck in a boring assignment in Nowheresville in a remote border region. So when he has the chance to destroy a burning trash-heap of a Bajoran ship, he'll risk angering the flagship of the Federation to do so. Meanwhile, the Brothers Weems get all fanboyish over Ensign Ro Laren, the original Starfleet bad girl, talk VR (aka prototype holodeck?), and Kyle discovers he has no idea what pigs are made of. Get a bucket and strap on that VR helmet, it's a new pod!

Welcome! Craig’s taking a look at Artificial Intelligence and what it may mean to the future of employment. Do you have to be worried right now? For more tech tips, news, and updates visit - CraigPeterson.com --- Read More: Could Automation Kill the Security Analyst? --- Automated Machine-Generated Transcript: Could artificial intelligence affect your job? And what does it mean to different business sectors? Well, if you're in a higher pain job, you might be surprised what Brookings Institute had to say. [00:00:18] Hey, welcome back, Craig Peter sauna here, we have had a busy, busy day today. And if you missed any part of today's show, you can go online and find it on your favorite podcasting app. And I'd love to get a little feedback from you. I had one of our listeners just a couple of weeks ago when I asked to show me where you are listening. [00:00:41] He took a picture of the dashboard of his car. He had it playing there in the car. I thought that was pretty darn cool. And I'd love to know from you too. Where are you listening to the podcast? What are you doing? And you can just email me M E and Craig peterson.com. You know, the thing about podcasts is I know how many downloads there have been, but that doesn't tell me much. [00:01:05] It doesn't tell me if the person that downloaded it actually listened to it. If they listen to it in Timbuktu, over in Northern Africa, in case you wonder where that is, or if they're listening to it in downtown Boston, it doesn't tell me anything about anybody. You know, the podcast might just be going into Nowheresville. [00:01:25] Now I know people who listened to him on the radio. Are listening, but I have a similar problem, right? Because I think we could do different things with the show based on where you are and what you're doing. I imagine that a lot of people listen to it while they're driving to and from work. Which is really, you know, very commonplace to listen to it. [00:01:49] Other people listen to it in the gym, and I know at least one of you listens to it in the truck driving around doing chores on the weekend. But if you would please do let me know. You can just send me a picture or send me a note to me@craigpeterson.com. Last week I asked for you guys to reach out and, and let me know what you thought about having a show dedicated. [00:02:13] To windows updates. And I didn't really get a lot of positive responses to that. So I'm going to have to read into that, that you're not interested in understanding how to do updates and windows. If you, if you're one of those people that wants to know, make sure you email me@craigpeterson.com and let me know, maybe it makes more sense to do it as a deeper dive. [00:02:37] It's something. Better for a webinar or I think the radio it's tough. Right? How do I explain click here, do this, you know, I can't explain the concepts and I'm going to try and do that next weekend here on the show so that everybody understands basically what's going on. And then maybe what we'll try and do is have a webinar where I'm really just delving deeply into it and helping you guys understand it. [00:03:05] And I've done these before on it. So it's nothing new to me. So we started out today talking about an application that is absolutely fantastic when it comes to your security and they're adding a new feature to it that will do automatic face blurring. And I gave you a couple of other options. And then we started talking about the new secure DNS settings for Chrome and Firefox and how they can help in some cases. [00:03:34] And they will definitely hurt and other cases. So if you are responsible for the network at your business, you're going to have to listen to that. And then we talked about insider threats. This is crazy 60% of our insider threats. Involve employees in planning on leaving. So, what are some of those signs that an employee might be a flight risk or that they're taking data? [00:04:02] What are the most common ways that they're stealing our information? I went over that today too. And then I started talking about the iPhone looters and I track all because I is, is there no low to the stupidity of criminals sometimes? Right here. They are stealing iPhones and of course, Apple's protecting them. [00:04:24] And then they're posting pictures on Twitter saying, Hey, look at what my iPhone said. It says an Apple is tracking me. Yeah. And now, so is anybody who saw you on Twitter? Uh, we went into something that many small businesses don't realize they've got to pay a lot more attention to, and that is security. If you are a government. [00:04:46] Sub sub-subcontractor, right? These regulations that the federal government has to roll down Hill. And if you're involved with anything that goes, boom, you know, military-type stuff. Man alive, the things they're doing right now with the new CMMC regulations. And I talked about how we helped a couple of businesses out just this week with some major security problems they weren't even aware of. [00:05:15] And now what'll happen with these new, new regulations in place, even if all you're doing. Is making a passive component for one of these military contractors that sell to the military, uh, you know, assembles it and sells it. You just make one small component. You could be out of business because of fines. [00:05:36] There are now 10-year prison sentences, everything else. So we talked about that. We talked about Google getting sued for at least $5 billion over some claimed, um, Inconsistency, shall we say incognito mode? Ain't incognito mode. Let's just leave it at that. A zoom. We just talked about that in how their defenders are citing legitimate reasons to not have end-to-end encryption. [00:06:06] And what that means. And we also talked about what the electronic frontier foundation had to say on that. And if you know those guys and gals, you certainly know what they probably said, and you'd probably be right. So let's get into this study. This is a study that came out from the Brookings Institute about jobs that are going to be lost when it comes to. [00:06:31] AI. Now we used to say, Oh, you're gonna lose your job to a robot. Well, that has happened. Obviously some manufacturing jobs are now being done by robots. But what we're talking about right now is intelligence. It's one thing to have a robot that's just repeatedly doing a specific job, but maybe. It has some cameras on it that allowed to adjust a little bit so that it has less of a tight tolerance for finding that bolt. [00:06:58] It wants to put the nut on too. So that's stage one in that's already happened. Now we're looking at AI artificial intelligence that can do a lot more. So what they found, and this is kind of interesting because the study was put together by a Ph.D. student and he took a whole different way of looking at it and his professors agreed with it and they published it. [00:07:25] And it's just, it's fascinating to look at it. He's got a lot of stats in there, but here are the basic findings number one. Artificial intelligence could affect work in virtually every occupational group. Now we know this, I don't think this is a big surprise to anybody it's going to affect trucking because these trucks are going to self-drive et cetera. [00:07:48] Right. So it's going to kind of hurt everywhere. But number two, Two says that better-paid white-collar occupations may be the most exposed to artificial intelligence, as well as some manufacturing and agricultural positions. Now that's interesting. And they have some graphs in this report that are showing. [00:08:11] That those people that have a high school education or less are basically the going to be the least effective. Those people with a bachelor's degree are the most likely to be affected. And that's typically your middle managers and then slightly less affected by AI and losing their jobs. Are those people with advanced degrees? [00:08:38] But when you think about those advanced degrees in business finance, Man. Those are the types of things that artificial intelligence can easily do. In fact, do better than most humans. The same. Thing's true in tech industries, they're going to be more exposed as well as natural resource and production industries. [00:08:59] Now I want to get into security analyst jobs here in just a minute because I think this is fascinating, but AI looks most destined to affect men. Prime age workers and white and Asian American workers. And number five in the findings was bigger. Higher tech Metro areas and communities heavily involved in manufacturing are likely to experience the most AI-related disruption. [00:09:31] Security is important, right? And security analysts are out there looking at what's going on, trying to figure out what they should do. And a great little article that was up on dark reading called could automation kill the security analyst because we were just talking about it, right? The higher, the skill, the higher the degree, the more likely you're going to lose your job to artificial intelligence. [00:09:58] Well, how about on the security front? Well there another study that was done over a thousand, it security practice practitioners in the US and the UK it's done by the Panama Institute. And they're saying, wow, wait a minute. Automation and I T security workers must work hand in hand to achieve maximum effectiveness. [00:10:23] Automation will never replace the need for the human element, especially for security professionals who have the expertise to manage these new technologies. In fact, 68% of respondents said they believe human involvement is important when using automation. So they've got five tips here to become proficient in how automation technologies operate, seek out an experienced mentor. [00:10:52] And right now we are actually mentoring a couple of people. They don't work for my company, worked for other companies, helping them out with their security roles, highlight, and understanding of automation, technologies, benchmark, how automation is being used, and get involved in organizations to share best. [00:11:11] Practices. And that's part of what we've been very involved in for many years. AI is going to be a huge, huge disruptor, but just like all of the big disruptors in the past, I don't see artificial intelligence as being an absolutely horrific thing. Look at what happened with, of course of a horse and buggy getting displaced by infernal combustion engines. [00:11:38] And we ended up at the Teamsters. Yeah, we got the union out of it, but in reality, we have more jobs now than we used to have, and they're more skilled jobs and that's what we're going to expect to happen in the future. The steam engine did the same thing. The fire probably did the same thing and the wheels certainly did the same. [00:11:59] But we've always had more and more people. And I am hoping I'm looking forward to the star Trek day, where we have the ability to have unlimited energy. And turn that energy into the matter so that we can own kind of have higher pursuits is going to be an interesting thing. But if you want more information on this and more, you'll find it right on my website. [00:12:23] Craig peterson.com. All of this week's articles are posted there as is the podcast. So check it out, make sure you get my newsletter. So you get the information. On special pieces of training, the popups, some doing as well as all of the new technology for the week, the things you need to know, and the things that you can share with your friends and family to help them understand some of the stuff. [00:12:50] You can be the hero to have a great week and we'll be back and next Saturday, one til three right here. --- More stories and tech updates at: www.craigpeterson.com Don't miss an episode from Craig.

PREVIOUSLY! ON NERDY SHOW... The gang had a good laugh about skeleton soup. But enough of that. Let's get serious... SERIOUSLY AWESOME.In lieu of a regularly scheduled episode, you're getting an over-indulgence of your host with the most, Cap. It's no surprise they've got a lot of things on their mind, but there's one thing of paramount importance. The fate of the world might hang in the balance: The Return of The Aquabats! Super Show!It's a super rad television show about America's hardest working superhero band - totes appropes for kids and lounge lizards alike. It's not like anything else on TV, and that's why Big TV slammed its gold-ringed hand and exiled Super Show to Nowheresville. But there's a chance, friends. A chance that if enough Righteous Comrades band together and sacrifice their piggybanks to the altar of Crowdfundius, the Greek god of hopes and dreams, that The Aquabats might have a super-successful Kickstarter that'll bring back the greatest show since sliced bread AND make some dope records too!So... long story short... Cap talks about that. And also fills you in on what Nerdy Show is up to behind the scenes.For links and more info, head to the main episode page:https://nerdyshow.com/2018/08/all-caps-the-aquabats-super-show-needs-righteous-comrades See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Pamela Fagan Hutchins writes overly long e-mails, best-selling romantic mysteries and hilarious nonfiction from deep in the heart of Nowheresville, Texas, in winter and the frozen north of Snowheresville, Wyoming, in summer. Pamela’s mysteries have won several awards, from the 2017 Silver Falchion for Best Adult Mystery (Fighting for Anna) to the USA Best Books Fiction: Cross Genre in 2015 and 2016 (Hell to Pay, Heaven to Betsy). With nearly 2 million downloads for her What Doesn’t Kill You series, readers seem to enjoy her smart, sassy female sleuths. Host Patricia McLinn talks with Pamela about how an author's characters become friends, living in Wyoming and what to do with ideas that don't fit right away. In Pamela's words, on leaving your family and home for opportunities far away: "Leaving just isn't the same anymore. We'll probably never get to experience something like that, except through our imagination."

Pat asks Robert Segovia a hypothetical.
Today’s episode chronicles how a peasant from Nowheresville, Siberia crafted the most manufactured, duplicated, celebrated, and reviled weapon in modern history. A weapon so perfectly adequate and simple to operate even a child could do it. A weapon the creator never even profited from: the AK-47.
Even ScarJo can't save this dull thud of a thriller. Whitewashing or no, GITS suffers other fatal flaws like slow pacing, uninvolving action and pointless visual noise. Fans of the original 1995 anime (like Andrew, for instance) will be disappointed at this lackluster treatment of a beloved story that delighted fans of cyberpunk and sci-fi. Clearly, BLADE RUNNER was an influence on the aesthetic choices that went into imagining this futuristic city, but it's an empty homage that takes the film straight to Nowheresville.

On the fifth installment of Los Boof Boyz we dive into Julian Assange's childhood where he grew up with a 1960s new age Australian LSD cult. Then we discuss 2016's Reichstag fire, the burning of a GOP office in Nowheresville, North Carolina. Finally we analyze and review the hit 2002 blockbuster film "Juwanna Mann" starring Tommy Davidson. It's an extravaganza.
Friend of the show (and of my real life), JOSEPH WILLIAM LEWIS, returns to talk about his first feature film, A/V, which debuts for free on YouTube this Friday. We talk about casting, writing and production, and how he's matured since "Nowheresville." We also share our thoughts about Suicide Squad at the beginning. Enjoy!

The guest host with the most, Nowheresville and A/V writer-director Joseph Lewis, joins Paul and AJ to continue Gobbledyween 2015 with a discussion of Tim Burton's 1988 classic Beetlejuice. The three heathens agree that the movie is great--it's wacky, it's funny, it's morbid--but when they stop and think about it, they have some questions. As brilliant as Michael Keaton is, would the film work better without its titular character? Is it two different movies squished together? What the hell happened to Burton? Of course, there's also a little "Day-O," a little Lydia, and a little bafflement over the fact that a Beetlejuice 2 is in development. Next: Gobbledyween comes to a close as friend of the show Aundria summons up Witchboard.
If it's in a word or it's in a look, you can't get rid of...Gobbledyween. Why would you want to? Especially when Paul and AJ are joined by such enlightening guests as K. Dale Koontz and Ensley F. Guffey, authors of Wanna Cook? The Complete, Unofficial Companion to Breaking Bad. Dale and Ensley help the boys crack open Jennifer Kent's feature debut The Babadook, which has been called one of the most terrifying films ever made. The gang discusses the expectations that kind of praise sets up, how Kent uses the horror genre to explore depression and grief, the incredible acting of Essie Davis and Noah Wiseman, and, uh, Tarkovsky for some reason. Next: Joseph Lewis, Joseph Lewis, Joseph Lewis! There, now the Nowheresville and A/V writer-director is on hand to liven up Gobbledyween with talk of Tim Burton's 1988 classic Beetlejuice.
We're back this year with more drunken barstool talk about our Chicago Bears!

Wise man say: forgiveness is divine, but only listening to Paul, AJ, and Nowheresville director/Smoke Gets in Your Ears co-host Joseph Lewis discuss the original 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film will get you past those pearly gates. Or something, a little birdie told us. But not, like, a mutant bird. Anyway. The gang has wildly varying experiences with the Turtles and the movie: Paul is old enough to have read some of the Eastman and Laird stuff when it was new, and saw the movie in theaters; AJ, being a wee little bairn, claims this is the first movie he ever saw and has loved the Turtles ever since; and Joe, well...Joe's right in the Turtle-loving demographic, but he never got into them as a kid, and that pattern holds 20-some-odd years later. How does the film hold up? Is it slathered in enough mozzarella to deserve bargain bin status? Or does it remain crisp, like the finest pepperoni? To put a merciful end to all pizza-related puns, I'm ending this description right here, so you know, go listen. Plus, the gang gets weird with Mandatory Fun and talks about Marvel's Avengers NOW! initiative. Next: that other Smoke Gets in Your Ears co-host, Kenn Edwards, drops by for the next installment of this year's Four-Color Flashback, discussing The Sandman: Vol. V - A Game of You.
Filmmaker JOSEPH WILLIAM LEWIS joins me to talk about his passion for film and television. We talk about how he got interested in cinema, his influences, and the constant struggle to stay hungry and committed to the art form while fighting complacency. We touch on his independent pilot, "Nowheresville," explore our similar tastes in films and film criticism, and drop major truth bombs during our review of Michael Bay's new film, "Transformers: Age of Extinction."

A new day has dawned, one which doesn't smile too favorably upon humanity. In Matt Reeves' Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, the apes have taken over...well, mostly. As Caesar and company learn, a small faction of humans still resides in San Francisco, and they believe the key to their continued existence lies in the apes' territory. It's not a swell situation, as Paul and AJ discover in their discussion of the second film in this new Apes franchise. They chat about the complexity of Caesar and Koba's relationship, the likable (if simplistic) human characters, and the palpable sadness at the film's core. Plus, the boys hop aboard the Snowpiercer train. Next: the gang (including Nowheresville director and Smoke Gets in Your Ears co-host Joseph Lewis) straps on their musty old half-shells to revisit the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, AKA OGTMNT.
Glitchhikers takes Christopher, Patrick, and Rob on a night drive through Nowheresville. The post Indie MEGACAST – Episode 35 – Glitchhikers appeared first on Indie MEGABOOTH.

The guys brace themselves for their first round of in-person, page-by-page review. Things get fun, tense, emotional, defensive, and overall (and most importantly) productive. Guests include indie writer/director Joseph William Lewis (watch his film "Nowheresville" at YouTube.com/ToastedSchizo - Kenn plays a role in it!), Batman fan (though not familiar with B:TAS) Randall Hodge, and previous guest and B:TAS fan Christian Cooke. Follow @Project_Batman, @TheKennEdwards, @ToastedSchizo, @randallhodge, & @cooke9000.
Kenn ends the year with Tom and Rosy discussing a lot about comedy, including Rosy's first open-mic experience! ALSO, KENN HAS A FUN ANNOUNCEMENT!
Bat-Turkey having sated his thirst for human blood on that most terrible of nights, Thanksgiving, Paul and AJ are free and clear to return to their regular podcasting duties. Joining them again is Joseph Lewis, here to talk about his new pilot Nowheresville, about a college student having an existential crisis about the static life he leads (not to mention girl problems). Joe discusses how the project came to be, what shooting was like, how awful it is to make two actors jog and bicycle for six pages of dialogue, and what the future holds for the potential series. Plus, the gang talks about The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (not to be confused with the Bob Marley album Catch a Fire), Americans beating one another to death over Rachael Ray cookware, and some good old-fashioned college football. Next: doesn't every holiday deserve a Schwarzenegger/Sinbad vehicle? We think so. Twisted Christmas returns with Jingle All the Way.
This week, Paul and AJ lack a plan. As always, when they lack a plan, they tend to just talk a whole bunch. Like, a whole bunch. First up, AJ gives the audience what he knows they want: an update on his health. (Here at Gobbledygeek, we want to make you feel like you're part of the family.) Then there's talk of music, with the 50th anniversary of The Beatles' second album coinciding with the release of On Air: Live at the BBC - Vol. 2, along with Paul McCartney's New. On the movie front, Paul falls in love with About Time while AJ falls decidedly out of love with Robert Rodriguez after witnessing Machete Kills. Then they talk about comics. Boy, do they talk about comics. Next: the boys take the week off, while Bat-Turkey sharpens his claws for the annual killing season known as Thanksgiving. The week after, Gobbledygeek returns to talk with friend of the show Joseph Lewis about his upcoming pilot, Nowheresville.
In this super-sized episode, Joseph Lewis, original Gobbler and writer/director of the forthcoming pilot Nowheresville, reunites with Paul and AJ to...well, to sort of act as a referee. You see, Paul and AJ disagree on things sometimes. Actually kind of frequently. And anyway, well, one of them is a kilt-wearing cyclone of rage prone to slaughter, and one of them just so happens to be a pre-pubescent hipster who sparks his ire at every turn. Which is a problem when Paul loves Thor: The Dark World and AJ...doesn't. Despite shifting alliances, Joe does his best to keep the slaughter at bay as the three of them debate the human characters' relevance, criticize Heimdall's watchman abilities, and trip all over themselves praising Tom Hiddleston. Plus, the gang talks comics (The Sandman: Overture and Amazing X-Men) and AJ raves about 12 Years a Slave. Next: more attempted slaughter.
Joseph William Lewis returns to the podcast, and this time he's promoting the pilot for his new web series, Nowheresville! He even wrote Kenn a part in it! They're joined by lead actor of the project, Adam Crawford. Look for Nowheresville on YouTube early December 2013! Check out YouTube.com/ToastedSchizo.
