Everlast traces his journey from Rhyme Syndicate graffiti kid to House of Pain to solo artist, revealing how Jump Around's success gave him the freedom to never chase a hit again.

Ever wonder why some books become instant hits with your students while others fall flat? In this episode, we go behind the scenes on a real-life book hunt and walk away with a practical framework you can use every time you pick up a new children's book. Using the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL), we break down exactly what makes a book "sticky" for diverse learners, including kids who struggle with attention, visual processing, auditory processing, or language itself. The UDL Book Selection Framework: The ABCs Before adding any book to your therapy toolkit, run it through these three filters: A — Connection: Does this book connect to the child's world? Think about interests, home routines, prior knowledge, and personal experiences. If a child can see themselves in the pages, engagement follows. B — Multimodal Presentation: Can you bring this book to life? Look for opportunities to use vocal animation, movement, emotion, rhyme, sound effects, and gesture as you read. The best books practically beg to be performed. C — Active Child Participation: Can the child do something with this book? Movement, facial expressions, sound-making, turn-taking, and storytelling from personal experience all count. The goal is for a child to be participating with the book, not just listening to it. The 6 Books Featured in This Episode How Do Dinosaurs Say Good Night? (board book version) — Realistic, emotionally expressive dinosaur illustrations paired with a bedtime routine kids know well. Rich with rhyme, emotion, and movement opportunities. Perfect for diverse learners with its short, one-sentence-per-page format. That's Not Funny, David! by David Shannon — A step up from No, David!, this one is heavy on inferential thinking. Kids identify what David is doing wrong from indirect cues rather than direct ones — a powerful tool for building higher-level language skills. Everyday scenarios spark personal storytelling and connection. Llama Llama Feelings — Pairs a familiar, beloved character with a known routine (the bedtime sequence) to introduce nuanced emotions like joy, worry, and excitement in rich context. Far superior to decontextualized feelings cards. Rhyme throughout keeps engagement high. Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You? (beginner book version) — A goldmine for non-speaking and emerging communicators. Onomatopoeia, animal sounds, environmental sounds, and the "cloze" technique (pause before the last word) let every child participate meaningfully. Connects print to sound in a playful, low-pressure way. Night Night Farm — Interactive lift-the-flap format with repetitive, predictable language. Farm animals + glow-in-the-dark stars on the final page = irresistible engagement, especially for younger learners. A perfect wind-down book that ends with a singalong. In My Heart — The standout of the bunch. Maps complex emotional concepts onto simple, concrete nouns (a star for happiness, an elephant for sadness). Moves emotional vocabulary well beyond basic happy/sad/mad into nuanced, embodied feeling language. Highly recommended for children working on emotional regulation and self-expression. If you're tired of starting from scratch every week, the SIS Membership gives you a library of research-informed, engagement-tested materials so you can walk into every session confident and prepared.

Part three of the technology-and-history series picks up where Matt Trump and Lt Gen (Ret.) Steven L. Kwast left off, and this time the theme is precision. Specifically, how a single mental leap, the demand for precise observation and measurement, built the bridge from medieval thought to the scientific revolution and eventually to a Saturn V on a launchpad. Matt walks through Project Mercury and Gemini, the Volta do Mar as a sailing rhyme for the Artemis 2 free return trajectory, and the surprisingly underrated Ptolemaic system that ran the cosmos for 1,400 years. Then comes the trifecta that broke it open: the fall of Constantinople pushing Greek manuscripts west, the printing press giving everyone the same numbers, and Tycho Brahe building giant naked-eye instruments that took measurement accuracy from ten arc minutes down to one. Mars was suddenly eight arc minutes out of place, Kepler reached for ellipses, and the modern world was born. Along the way, Kwast and Matt land an unforgettable humility lesson. Hold your pinky up at arm's length. The moon is half that size. Now imagine how much else our senses are wrong about.
They say history doesn't necessarily repeat, but it often rhymes. With that in mind, Midweek Memo host Mike Maharrey looks back at the inflationary era of the 1960s and 1970s and finds some interesting parallels to today. Inflation didn't rise in a straight line back then. It came in three distinct waves. We've seen one wave in the currency inflationary cycle, and it appears we're setting up for a second. And there are other similarities between then and now - including the trajectory of interest rate policy and government spending. Mike also reveals just how badly this price inflation is impacting the American consumer, who is broke, stressed, and buried in debt.
Poetry met the world of big business this past week when billionaire Jeff Bezos used it as an analogy for layoffs at The Washington Post.
Why should we pray the Psalms slowly?In this reflective teaching, John Ortberg explores the nature of Hebrew poetry, the structure of the Psalms, and why the language of prayer was never meant to be rushed.Using Psalm 90 and several other Psalms, John unpacks the beauty of biblical parallelism — repetition, pivots, refrains, and poetic movement that deepen meaning and slow the soul down enough to notice God.This episode explores:- Why the Psalms are poetry, not prose- Hebrew parallelism explained simply- Why repetition matters spiritually- Psalm 23, Psalm 88, and Psalm 90- Jesus' use of poetic teaching- Prayer as attentiveness rather than efficiencyFeaturing reflections from:- Eugene Peterson- C.S. Lewis- Robert LowthScriptures:- Psalm 90- Psalm 23- Psalm 88- Matthew 7#Psalms #Prayer #JohnOrtberg #SpiritualFormation #HebrewPoetry #BibleStudy #Psalm90 #ChristianFaith #EugenePeterson #CSLewis

Cohost Matt Trump finally makes it on the mic after last week's traffic detour, and the wait was worth it. He brings a giant lens: humanity over millennia, with Johan Huizenga's The Autumn of the Middle Ages as the anchor. Lt Gen (Ret.) Steven L. Kwast riffs alongside him. The framing is unforgettable. Matt calls our current moment the return of the future. In the 1960s, with Apollo and Star Trek, humanity was thinking in millennia. Then we pulled in the sails. Under Trump and Musk, we are unfurling them again. The deep-dive walks through the Portuguese caravel breakthrough that opened the New World, why it took a century of violence and printing presses and reformations before things matured, and why our space era follows the same pattern at vastly higher speed. Along the way: why globalism became a Pandora's box, why nations and families are the structures we cannot skip past, why Ming dynasty politics destroyed their own 600 year naval head start, and why young engineers raised on the internet are turning hundred year timelines into hundred day ones. Build with the right moral compass, then full speed ahead.
Lt Gen (Ret.) Steven L. Kwast was supposed to share the mic with cohost Matt Trump this week, but traffic had other plans. So buckle up for a solo ride through one of the meatiest history-meets-tech episodes yet, built around the recommended read The Autumn of the Middle Ages. The thesis: every great technological leap in human history, from medieval to Renaissance to industrial to today's network age, has been transformative and brutally violent. Kwast argues we are standing at the next hinge point and we have a choice. Race ahead with American values planted firmly on the high ground of space, or let an adversary plant theirs. He breaks down why energy in space is the whole ballgame, why Trump's executive order to put a nuclear plant in orbit by 2028 and on the moon by 2030 is the strategic one two punch that pairs with the 2019 creation of the Space Force, and why the Pancho Villa moment looking up at an airplane is exactly what we want our adversaries feeling. He also explains why Trump is wisely refusing to tear down old institutions until better ones are built. Build first, exit second.
Today, a look at the remarkable US market and its seeming immunity to any external development and what that suggests about where we may be in some sort of bubble super-cycle, one that has the host thinking of 1929, perhaps because he is reading the great book of that title by Andrew Ross Sorkin. Also, a look at Palantir's incoming earnings, FX moves and the US dollar and incoming earnings and macro figures of note.

Immortality projects represent an often irrational, and sometimes even unconscious, way to tamp down anxiety about death. There are some shocking examples of people, especially those with lots and lots of money, who try to leave some sort of mark in a futile attempt to keep from facing death. In this episode, we run a special fantasy-football style draft to take a look at immortality projects, some horrendous, but some with positive effects.
