The End is Near. Don't Procrastinate. Oh great, here we go again. Another message that begins with vanity of vanities, all is vanity. A generation goes, a generation comes. There's nothing new under the sun. You might think your thing is new, your thing is the ultimate. I have found it. You have figured it all out. Then the seasons come, and with the changing seasons come harsher and harsher weather says the preachers in the book of Ecclesiastes. In the last chapter, chapter 12, he's talking about old age. The weather just keeps getting worse as you get older. If you are at that age where you occasionally might wet your pants, you get the part about the clouds return after the rain. It's all a metaphor for all the hardships one endures as one ages. The end is harsh. The preacher says these are evil days that bring no pleasure. So what's his advice as we wrap up this wisdom literature? What do we do with a life that in all estimation is a crap shoot as to what you will get. Maybe it goes well for you for a while. Maybe not. Life hands out lottery tickets and the winner lost the winning ticket between the car seats a week ago. The number grows. Maybe next week. Maybe not. So, final words of wisdom, Mr. Preacher Man? Solomon would say one thing. Remember the Lord in the days of your youth. Oh, and fear God and keep His commandments, this is the whole duty of humankind. That's it? Remember God when you have all your faculties and fear the Lord? That's the best you can do after ranting about the futility of life for 11 chapters? I can hardly wait for the answer.

"Describe a time when you held a belief about something/someone which turned out to be wrong?"Everyone probably has a story that could answer this question - those things you were maybe so sure about that turned out to be exactly opposite of what you thought at first. Those lessons are sometimes the hardest to learn - but they are worthy lessons, none the less. Got a question you want answered or a topic you'd like to hear Townsend and Preacher Man muse on?

"Have you ever been mad or upset with God?"Again, we come across one of those topics where the answer is obvious - OF COURSE WE HAVE! But what about the truth of being angry? Is it ok to be mad or upset with God? What are we supposed to do with that emotion or hurt? This episode might not answer all the questions, but it surely will help to start the conversation. **Get your Magic Mind here: https://www.magicmind.com/MTP20 You get 20% for a one time purchase and up to 48% off for subscriptions! ** (Code: MTP20)Got a question you want answered or a topic you'd like to hear Townsend and Preacher Man muse on?

This is the first installment of the audiobook version of my book The Inappropriate Guide to Buying an Engagement Ring. I'll be releasing one chapter a week, right here in the podcast feed. If you'd rather read the whole thing now (because waiting is for people in line at the DMV), you can grab the full book on Kindle or paperback by clicking here.  Full transcript below (Oh and hey! This is all copyrighted so don't steal my shit.)  This is the "Inappropriate Guide to Buying an Engagement Ring- Irreverent Wisdom From an Industry Insider. Short, Simple, and Straight to the Point." Introduction: I don't care what's under the hood of my car. I'm pretty sure there's an engine in there, but I'll be damned if I know what it's about. And frankly, I don't care. I wanna go fast when I need to and slow when I don't. That's it. Good to go. Some guys get off on knowing every detail about their engine. The compression ratios, the torque curves, the whole mechanical circle jerk. They're the same guys who can tell you the exact temperature their bourbon was aged at or why their guitars, pickups are superior to every other pickup ever manufactured. But here's what 30 years in the trenches of the diamond business has taught me. Buying an engagement ring isn't about becoming an expert. It's about doing something incredible for someone you love. Somewhere between the YouTube rabbit holes about ideal cut grades and the forums full of guys comparing certification numbers like fantasy football stats, we've lost the plot. You are not here because you woke up thinking, man, I really need to learn about crystalline structures today. You're here because you found someone who makes your, he beat faster and you want to do this right? The problem is the diamond industry has turned what should be one of life's most romantic moments into something that. Feels like studying for a final exam you never signed up for. And that's why I wrote this book, not to turn you into some diamond grading savant, but to give you just enough knowledge to work with someone who actually knows their stuff. Think of it as your cheat sheet for navigating this world while keeping your sanity intact. And yes, I'm mostly addressing the guys buying rings for their girlfriends in this book. But if you're buying for your boyfriend or you're a woman buying for your girlfriend, the advice works just the same. The diamond doesn't give a damn who's wearing it and neither do I. What matters is what that ring symbolizes between two people who found something that's worth keeping. I've spent years watching guys walk into my store looking like they're about to face a firing squad. Armed with printouts of diamond specs and enough anxiety to power laws Vegas for a week. There are shell-shocked veterans of a war they never needed to fight. . So here's what I'm going to do. I'm gonna cut through the bullshit and tell you what actually matters. Not the marketing hype or technical jargon, but the real deal, the stuff that makes a difference when you're standing there ring in hand, heart pounding about to ask the biggest question of your life. We'll cover just enough technical stuff to keep you informed, but more importantly, we'll talk about finding someone you can trust to handle the heavy lifting. Because this isn't about becoming a diamond expert, as I've said, it's about making a moment unforgettable. There are plenty of great professionals who live. For helping people like you create those perfect moments. Your job isn't to become one of us. It's to find one of us. You click with. So grab a beer, get comfortable, and let's cut through the noise together. By the time we're done, you'll know exactly how to handle this whole ring thing without losing your mind, your savings or your romantic soul in the process. Now buckle up and let's do this.

"In what area of your life do you find it most difficult to trust God?"Believe it or not, we all have this problem. In fact, we might have more of a problem with the issue of trusting the Lord than we realize. But, there is HOPE! Let's shine the light of truth on these areas where we struggle to trust our Father in Heaven and let that light burn away our doubt that He does, indeed, have it all under control! Got a question you want answered or a topic you'd like to hear Townsend and Preacher Man muse on?

Aretha Franklin got her start at an early age in Gospel music.  As the granddaughter of Gospel great Mahalia Jackson and the daughter of a prominent Baptist preacher, Franklin was heard on her father's "gospel caravan" tours at the age of twelve.  By the time she became an adult in 1960 she had decided that she wanted to go into more pop music, and moved to New York for this purpose.  She signed a deal with Columbia Records, in 1960, but her career would not really take off until moving to Atlantic Records in 1966.  By 1968 she was considered by many to be the most successful singer in the nation, and already crowned the "Queen of Soul."Franklin toured outside the US for the first time in late April 1968 through May 1968.  She performed in Paris on May 7, 1968, and this concert would be released as the live album Aretha in Paris in the fall of 1968.  It was Franklin's second live album, and the first for Atlantic Records where most of her hits were recorded.Some have criticized the backing band as not up to the task of supporting Franklin.  However, this album captures Franklin at the top of her game at a time when she was cranking out some of the biggest hits of her career.  It would be difficult for any supporting band to keep up, particularly one assembled for an overseas tour.  Regardless, this is a great album to explore as a snapshot of Aretha Franklin at the height of success.Lynch brings us a high energy live soul album from the Queen of Soul in her prime for today's podcast. (I Can't Get No) SatisfactionThis Rolling Stones cover is the lead-off track to the album and to the concert.  The Stones had released this song in 1965, and it had become their first number 1 song in the States.  Franklin takes the tempo up for this cover.(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural WomanCarole King and Gerry Goffin wrote this song for Franklin based on an idea from producer Jerry Wexler.  It originally appeared on Franklin's album "Lady Soul", and went to number 8 on the U.S. charts.  It would make history when it hit the UK charts a week after Franklin's death in 2018, 51 years after the single was first released. (Sweet Sweet Baby) Since You've Been GoneThe original single for this live song was released on the "Lady Soul" album, and reached number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100.  This song was written by Franklin and her then-husband Teddy White. The studio version of this song utilized the talents of the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, who were flown in from Alabama to record in a New York City studio.Chain of FoolsSongwriter Don Covay wrote this song in his youth, and presented it to producer Jerry Wexler as a song for Otis Redding.  Wexler decided to have Franklin record it instead of Redding.  It was a big hit, taking the number 1 slot on the R&B charts for four weeks, number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, and delivering Franklin a Grammy for Best R&B Vocal Performance. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Theme from the television comedy show “Laugh In”This sketch comedy show would capture a lot of American counter-culture of the time from Tiny Tim to "sock it to me!" STAFF PICKS:Ride My See Saw by the Moody BluesWayne kicks off the staff picks with a psychedelic song from the second Moody Blues album, "In Search of the Lost Chord."  The song is about leaving school and finding that the world isn't what you thought it would be.  On the album, the song is preceded by a spoken word introduction called "Departure."Harper Valley PTA by Jeannie C. RileyRob's staff pick is a storytelling song written by Tom T. Hall about a widow named Mrs. Johnson and her tangle with the PTA.  When her teenage daughter received a note from the Harper Valley PTA criticizing the way she is living, Mrs. Johnson attends the next meeting and reveals some indiscretions of the other PTA members.Light My Fire by Jose FelicianoBruce features an acoustic cover of the Doors hit single with a Latin twist.  Jose Feliciano is best known for the Christmas song "Feliz Navidad," but this Puerto Rican artist also had a hit with this cover that peaked at number 3 on in late summer 1968.  His album "Feliciano!" is a selection of acoustic cover songs, and his most successful one.  He won "Best Male Pop Vocal Performance" at the 1969 Grammy Awards for this cover.Son of a Preacher Man by Dusty SpringfieldLynch closes out the staff picks with a song that writers John Hurley and Ronnie Wilkins wrote with Aretha Franklin in mind.  When Atlantic Records producer Jerry Wexler heard it, he thought it would be a good fit for Dusty Springfield who was recording her "Dusty in Memphis" album at the time.  INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:And I Love Her by Jose FelicianoWe double up on the Latin acoustic stylings of Feliciano as this Beatles cover takes us out of this week's podcast.   Thanks for listening to “What the Riff?!?” NOTE: To adjust the loudness of the music or voices, you may adjust the balance on your device.

Bakker is back, and he wants you to argue better! "Can't we all get along?" sounds like one of the most naive questions in the world, but in truth, it's one of the most Christlike things we can do. Our guest Jay Bakker, punk-rock pastor, author, and independent scholar, has long been a champion of arguing well, giving others grace, and also calling out intolerance--both on the right and on the left. In this conversation, we dig into what is going on in our country, the deep and wounding polarization, and the lessons we can learn from how figures ranging from Paul to MLK Jr to John Hume to our beloved Tammy Faye (Jay's mom) found a foundation for dialogue in the midst of the conflicts of their times. Jay Bakker is the pastor and founder of Revolution Gathering (https://revolutionchurch.com/), a radically inclusive online community of believers and seekers who want to do church in a way that fits their values, without the partisanship and division. He's on YouTube with his latest message every week--go watch, like, and subscribe at https://www.youtube.com/@revolutionbroadcasting! Jay is also the author of "Son of a Preacher Man", which recounts his experience growing up as the son of famed televangelists Jim and Tammy Bakker, and the more recent books "Fall to Grace: A Revolution of God, Self & Society" and "Faith, Doubt, and Other Lines I've Crossed."  Find your guides at Quoir Academy!

"Who is one person in your life who doesn't understand your faith but you desperately wish would?"A personal question this week that maybe we should all be asking; who are those folks around us who just don't believe?

"What do you think it means to give thanks in all circumstances? (1 Thess. 5:18)"A topic that we've considered before - but a topic worthy of revisiting... just what does it mean to always be thankful.

“Bully,” the eleventh studio album by Kanye West, now known as Ye, marks a striking return to solo artistry for the controversial rapper and producer. Released on March 18, 2025, and officially uploaded to YouTube on March 21, 2025, this project arrives amid a whirlwind of personal and public turmoil, reflecting both Ye's creative evolution and his unapologetic defiance. The album's title draws inspiration from a personal anecdote involving his son, Saint West, who reportedly kicked another child for being “weak,” a story Ye shared with a mix of amusement and pride in a February 2025 interview with Justin LaBoy. This incident, paired with thematic nods to Larry Clark's 2001 film “Bully”—a tale of teens exacting revenge on an abusive peer—frames the album as a symbolic break from external control, notably Ye's tumultuous history with Adidas, whom he casts as his own metaphorical tormentor.Musically, “Bully” diverges from the collaborative chaos of Ye's recent “Vultures” series with Ty Dolla $ign, embracing a self-produced, introspective soundscape that critics have hailed as his strongest in over a decade. The album blends the soulful patience of his early work, like “The College Dropout,” with the experimental warmth of singles such as “Only One” (2014) and “FourFiveSeconds” (2015). Tracks like “Preacher Man” and “Beauty and the Beast,” previewed in September 2024 at a China listening event, showcase lush samples—from The Supremes' “You Can't Hurry Love” to Cortex's “Huit Octobre 1971”—chopped with a meticulous hand, evoking a nostalgic yet forward-thinking vibe. GQ praised its “rich, warm, even optimistic” tone, a stark contrast to Ye's public persona, suggesting a retreat from the internet's noise into a cloistered creative space.Yet, “Bully” is unmistakably a work in progress. Released initially as a 45-minute short film directed by Ye and edited by Hype Williams, it features Saint battling Japanese wrestlers with a plastic mallet—a surreal visual that mirrors the album's raw, unfinished state. Ye himself admitted on X that it's “not finished and half the vocals AI,” a choice that divides listeners. The AI-generated vocals, often mimicking his “808s & Heartbreak” style, serve as texture rather than substance, occasionally jarring against the otherwise masterful beats. Three versions—“Screening,” “Post Hype,” and “Post Post Hype”—circulated online, with the YouTube release, “BULLY V1,” trimming the tracklist to nine songs, notably dropping “Melrose” featuring Playboi Carti and Ty Dolla $ign amid reported feuds.The album's rollout was overshadowed by Ye's latest social media spiral, rife with antisemitic rants, swastika imagery, and attacks on peers like Jay-Z, Beyoncé, and Kendrick Lamar. An alternative cover featuring a red swastika underscored his provocative stance, aligning with previews like “World War 3,” where he doubles down on his polarizing views. This chaos contrasts sharply with the music's calm, almost serene quality—tracks that narrate betrayal and resilience with a soothing undercurrent, as one X user noted, calling it “the complete opposite of what its title suggests.”Despite the controversy, “Bully” has garnered acclaim for its production, with some fans and critics dubbing it a return to form, even in its rough state. Its unconventional release—bypassing streaming platforms for X and YouTube—reflects Ye's disdain for industry norms, as he decried “fake streams” and “French and Jewish record labels.” Whether it evolves into a polished final product or remains a snapshot of Ye's turbulent 2025, “Bully” stands as a testament to his enduring genius and unrelenting defiance, a paradox of beauty and unrest at the heart of his legacy.

This week's episode is the last of 2024. With Christmas and a church lock-in both falling on Wednesdays, this was the last time for Townsend and Preacher Man to get together before the ringing in of 2025.So, they sat down and mused in the most literal sense of the word. No card, no topic prompt this week - just two folks reflecting on the year, the holiday, and the importance of tradition and family. We hope you enjoy! Got a question you want answered or a topic you'd like to hear Townsend and Preacher Man muse on?

Some conversations are easier to have than others. And sometimes, a conversation might have to do with things you don't know how to respond to. Today's episode looks at how Townsend and Preacher Man think someone should respond when a conversation that turns to God gets hit with the "I just don't believe that" bomb. Do you smack 'em with a Bible and run... or something different? Listen and find out. And no... you don't smack anyone with a Bible. ;)Got a question you want answered or a topic you'd like to hear Townsend and Preacher Man muse on?

"If you could go back and change your past, would you do it?" Sort of the plot to "Back to the Future" and definitely the plot to the movie "The Family Man" from 2000. Not a new question at all, maybe even one you've considered a time or two. Would you do it - go back and change things if you had the chance? Got a question you want answered or a topic you'd like to hear Townsend and Preacher Man muse on?

An annual tradition - Townsend and Preacher Man spend a little time reflecting on what they have to be thankful for in 2024 (hey - that rhymes!).

This week's episode is a response to the question: "Does all of the Bible still apply to us today?" Some might say no and refer to themselves as "New Testament Christians." Others might say yes, and find themselves seeking to follow Christ and feel an obligation to uphold every law and "rule" given in the Old Testament. Who is right? Is there a right? This week, Townsend and Preacher Man take a swing at the idea.Got a question you want answered or a topic you'd like to hear Townsend and Preacher Man muse on?

You ever wondered what a "pregame" musing sounds like? This is about the closest you're ever gonna get! We were gonna be good and stick to the topic on the card... but then, we just didn't. So, instead you get our shotgun thoughts on the result of Election 2024 and how we hope that the people of God stay hungry to represent their Holy citizenship from now until forever. Got a question you want answered or a topic you'd like to hear Townsend and Preacher Man muse on?

WAIT! Don't let the "churchy" word in the topic make you skip this episode. Sure, it's not a word you use all the time, but what it means and what it's referring to is EXTREMELY important. So, just relax and muse with us as we take a look at what some of the ideas are around Jesus and what He accomplished on the cross.Got a question you want answered or a topic you'd like to hear Townsend and Preacher Man muse on?

At some point in your life someone called you a "liar, liar, pants on fire." We all hated it - even if it was true at the time. But, what about as an adult? Are we out here still living with our pants burning, or have we come to understanding that lying really isn't all that acceptable. For that matter - is it ever acceptable to lie? This week's musing considers if there are certain situations where it would be "acceptable" to lie AND if maybe, instead, folks are just looking for an excuse to not be honest.Got a question you want answered or a topic you'd like to hear Townsend and Preacher Man muse on?

In most school across the country, kids stand up every morning and voice their pledge to the United States. Grownups... well, you might not make a pledge every morning, but does the Bible instruct you to maintain allegiance to your country as part of your faith? Just how "pledged" should your allegiance be? Glad you asked - cause this week we 're musing on it!Got a question you want answered or a topic you'd like to hear Townsend and Preacher Man muse on?

Yes - it's the topic that lots of folks love to hate. Only time someone brings up giving money to the church is when the preacher needs a new car, am I right? No. You're not right. But what is right? Should a believer still recognize their expectation to support their church financially or is that an Old Testament sort of thing that doesn't apply to us New Testament sort of people? Let's look at that together and see just exactly how important giving money to the church ought to be. Got a question you want answered or a topic you'd like to hear Townsend and Preacher Man muse on?

This week we're re-running our episode breaking down Baby Shower but first, the ladies uncover a new tidbit that may have used as an inspiration for this episode.  Michael has the Party Planning Committee throw a baby shower for Jan, while Jan has already had her baby and just didn't tell Michael about it. Jenna does a deep dive on the history of baby showers, the ladies explore the song Son of A Preacher Man, and Angela shares what Phil Shea gifted her after shooting this episode. So you can put this episode to the test, just like Dwight did with Jan's stroller, but we guarantee it's a very good, indestructible episode. Check out Office Ladies Merch at Podswag: https://www.podswag.com/collections/office-ladies Office Ladies Website - Submit a fan question: https://officeladies.com/submitaquestionFollow Us on Instagram: OfficeLadiesPod
