In our lively chat, we dive into a smorgasbord of topics, from the accessibility of musical instruments (which we still can't play) to our childhood attempts at entrepreneurship with lemonade stands and school fundraisers (spoiler: we didn't make millions). We even touch on the spiritual side of certain instruments, though our spiritual journey mostly involves trying not to trip over them. Our conversation is peppered with laughter as we reflect on the simple joys and creative chaos of childhood, which somehow shaped our understanding of business and community (or at least that's what we tell ourselves). We share hilarious tales of our childhood food escapades, including bizarre ice cream flavors and culinary misadventures at fairs and street vendors. We also reminisce about cruise ship life, discussing the glamorous (or not-so-glamorous) life of performers on board, and wax nostalgic about our favorite video games, which we still play with the same enthusiasm as when we were kids. It's a conversation filled with laughter, insights, and a healthy dose of self-mockery about our personal tastes and experiences.

Charm Scene is BACK and so is charming guest Ben Auxier (Friend Dog Studios, Wheel of Improv, RIFF)!

Today on The Riff, we get to hear the Masterclass from a few weeks back on community. We hope today is helpful. Thanks for listening!!

Lynch riffs on the debut studio album from Matchbox 20 “Yourself or Someone Like You” on the charts in  November of 1996 (3AM / Push / Real World / Long Day). STAFF PICKS: “Big Chair” by Reacharound — Wayne.  “Rewind” by Better than Ezra — Rob.  "When You Love a Woman” by Journey— Clint Barrett.   ENTERTAINMENT TRACK: “Space Jam” by Quad City DJ's (from the motion picture "Space Jam").   **(NOTE: What the Riff?!? does not own the rights to any of these songs and we neither sell, nor profit from them. We share them so you can learn about them and purchase them for your own collections.)

If you've spent anytime listening to sermons you've likely heard the idea that "Jesus was foretold many times in the Old Testament. His birth is the fulfillment of prophecy." Is it? As usual, the fellas are skeptical and decided to take a look. Join Bael and Riff as they do their own research. 

Cabinet Minister Patrick O'Donovan has accused hoteliers of “robbing people up to their eyeballs”. While warning the Vat reduction promised in the Budget is not guaranteed. Shane and Ciara discussed all this morning.

In our delightfully chaotic conversation, we bumble through a range of themes, from our questionable musical experiences and our clumsy attempts at connecting with nature, to our rose-tinted nostalgia for the past and our often misguided musings on technology's role in society. We share our personal misadventures, reflect on historical contexts we barely remember, and take wild guesses about the future of AI—all while trying to keep things light-hearted and humorous, even if we're the only ones laughing. We also dive into topics like the construction of the pyramids (as if we were there), the implications of artificial intelligence on our own intelligence (or lack thereof), and the evolution of technology. We ponder the nature of knowledge and wisdom in this digital age, and even speculate on the future of food, including lab-created products and vegan alternatives, despite our limited culinary expertise. Our conversation meanders through cultural perspectives on food, particularly the ethics of eating insects, and wraps up with a humorous exploration of the buffet as a dining concept—because who doesn't love a good buffet, right?

In this Riff, Gino explores a truth we all face: we are either expanding or contracting. Expansion brings learning, progress, and momentum. Contraction, on the other hand, brings discomfort, doubt, and resistance. Each phase plays a role in our growth. Progress rarely moves in a straight line; it comes in cycles.Gino shares his own cycles of Shedding and Shining, reminding us that contraction does not mean we're broken... it means we're about to break through. Whether it's a business hitting a ceiling or an individual wrestling with change, the pattern is the same: expansion, contraction, evolution, revolution. Your job is to stay aware, trust the process, and look for the lesson. Because if you're committed to growth, another expansion is always around the corner.

Dana and David welcome back Nick Kroll for a whirlwind of laughs and impressions.

In our chat, we dive into the wild world of viral trends, the art of remixing, and the sheer absurdity of modern entertainment. We tackle the one-man band phenomenon, the value of viral videos, and the complexities of seemingly simple activities like cornhole and knitting. We also touch on the irony of consumer choices and ponder the future of engagement in a digital age brimming with reaction videos and video games. In this lively exchange, we explore a range of humorous and absurd topics, from the legality of throwing various objects to the peculiarities of Indiana laws. We delve into the strange world of food regulations, particularly the infamous maggot cheese, and discuss fishing techniques and regulations. Our conversation takes a turn towards the fast-paced world of driving, questioning the mindset of those who speed excessively. Finally, we entertain the idea of innovative travel methods, including the whimsical notion of shooting ourselves out of a cannon.

All this week Newstalk Breakfast are taking on a new challenge, with Irish week with many people unable to speak the language, what is the issue? Ciara and Shane discussed.

In our rambling little chat, we somehow manage to stumble across a buffet of nonsense, from pretending we understand drum covers to overanalyzing church potluck menus. We get into a heated (and completely pointless) debate about lasagna versus baked spaghetti—because clearly, the fate of civilization hangs on that. We brag about our “southern cooking skills,” which mostly just means frying things badly, and laugh at the goofy ways we describe our aches and pains like we’re auditioning for a medical dictionary no one asked for. Naturally, we drift into tales of botched craft projects involving super glue, confess our ignorance of proper restaurant etiquette, and take a nostalgic victory lap for outdated gadgets we barely knew how to use in the first place (Blackberry, anyone?). In a burst of misguided ambition, we even brainstorm fake ads that no sane sponsor would actually want. Somewhere in the chaos, we convince ourselves we’re exploring profound topics like the quirks of technology, the weirdness of aging, and the absurdity of marketing. But let’s be honest—it’s just us swapping stories, roasting ourselves, and making our listeners wonder why they’re still tuning in.

What happens when you're running at 150 percent capacity? In this episode, Gino invites you into his current reality: an intense stretch filled with book rewrites, big decisions, and a to-do list that just won't quit. Instead of powering through blindly, he turns to the 10 Disciplines to stay conscious, clear, and connected. He shares how he's managing the strain by saying no more often, delegating outside his sweet spot, staying present with loved ones, and holding fast to his stillness practice. This episode is a mirror for anyone feeling maxed out. Ask yourself: Is this push aligned with your 10-year vision? Are you aware of the cost? Most importantly, do you know how long it will last and why it matters? If not, this is the moment to pause and check in.

When a movie titled "Heretic" comes out, there's a pretty good shot that Bael and Riff will want to watch it and discuss. Join the guys for a look at this interesting and kind of bizarre film. 

Send us a textIn this episode, we unpack Proverbs 16:22—"Discretion is a life-giving fountain to those who possess it, but discipline is wasted on fools." Here's what I discovered this morning: everyone talks about discipline, but few ever develop discretion. I'll show you why discretion is the internal leadership skill most people overlook—and how practicing it can save you from the endless cycle of correction, reaction, and regret. This one's a short riff. I'll unpack it more in a future episode. Support the show

In our chat, we dive into the wild world of everyday life, chatting about everything from hoarding toilet paper like it's the new gold to the quirks of home decor that make us question our sanity. We share personal tales about our hobbies, like lake diving and the nostalgia of cereal box prizes that made us feel like treasure hunters, all while tossing in some takes on pop culture, like Superman's questionable fashion choices and those charming Southern accents that make everything sound like a song. We also explore the mind-bending paradoxes of time travel, the quirks of Quantum Leap, and our love for older TV shows that remind us of simpler times. We discuss how comedy has evolved in today's political climate, the impact of documentaries on pop culture, and the wisdom from unconventional teachers who taught us that life is one big improv show. And, of course, we can't forget our take on therapy and self-improvement, because who doesn't love a good laugh while figuring out life's mysteries? Through our banter and commentary, we reflect on how these topics intertwine with our personal experiences and societal observations, all while keeping the laughs rolling.

Every day we take a breath and a break from the busy work day to hang out with friends and talk about the world of sports, entertainment and specifically CrossFit.  Today we talk about the new marketing strategy from CrossFit, CrossFit is the Cure.  We look at some comments and riff on what we see.  Finally lets chat about the Quarterback Series on Netflix and specifically Joe Burrow getting robbed.

Today on The Riff, Justin and Jon sit down and start riffing on the topic of Jon Martz being a Jr. or not. I'm still a little confused.... so I will continue to call him Jon Martz Jr. We hope today is helpful and hopeful. Thanks for listening!!

R.E.M. put out a multitude of hits in college, modern, and alternative rock genres in the 80's and 90's.  By the time that Around the Sun, the group's 13th studio album was released, the band was experiencing changes in personnel and struggles with focus.  Drummer Bill Berry retired in 1997 and was replaced by Bill Reiflin.  While Reiflin would be the regular percussionist for the band until their dissolution in 2011, he would not be considered a member of the band like Peter Buck (guitar), Mike Mills (bass, keyboards), or Michael Stipe (vocals).  From a commercial standpoint the album was a success, going to number 13 on the Billboard 200 in the US, and topping the album chart in the UK.  However, critical reviews were more negative, and the band members would agree over time with Stipe and Mills stating that the album lacked focus.  Peter Buck was more critical, stating that the album shows that the band was bored with the material.  Many consider this the worst R.E.M. studio album the group produced. However, with the benefit of hindsight we think this album is due for a second look.  The songs are more adult-oriented than the bands hits from prior decades, yet maintain the distinctive R.E.M. sound.  There is a cleaner production on this album and clearer lyrics.Rob brings us a great debut folk rock album in this week's podcast.Leaving New YorkThe lead off track was also the lead single from the album.  It reached number 5 on the UK singles chart, making it the eleventh and last top-10 REM single in that country.  However, it was not heavily promoted and failed to crack the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, becoming the first US single from an REM studio album not to chart since 1985.  It has a somber tone.WanderlustThis was the fourth and final single from the album, and utilizes a complex time signature of 4/4 time in the verses and 7/4 in the chorus.  The title references the desire to travel, and not remain in one place for very long.  "I got my signals crossed.  It's overwhelming me because I'm all alone and I cant get back - get back with my wanderlust."AftermathThe second single from the album portrays a woman living in a daze after a breakup.  Overwhelmed by ruminations, she overfeeds the cat and underwaters the plants.  It went to number 15 on the US alternative rock chart and number 41 on the UK singles chart.  around the sunThe album contains a title track - a rarity on REM albums.  It begins with a soft acoustic guitar leading into pensive lyrics.  "Hold on world, 'cause you don't know what's coming.  Hold on world, 'cause I'm not jumping off.  Hold on to this boy a little longer, take another trip around the sun." STAFF PICKS:1985 by Bowling for SoupBruce starts the staff picks with a song about a middle-aged woman thinking about how things have changed since her glory days in 1985.  It is a cover song originally done by pop punk band SR-71, but made famous by the Bowling for Soup version.  It went to number 23 on the Billboard Hot 100, and number 5 on the Adult Top 40.  Float On by Modest MouseLynch brings us a track that songwriter and band founder Isaac Brock says was consciously written to feel more positive than some of his previous work.  The lyrics are stoic - not getting caught up in the bad things, because good things are around the corner.  "Alright, already, we'll all float on."I Go Back by Kenny ChesneyWayne's flips the script on us by bringing a country song into the mix, but with lyrics that talk about listening to rock songs in the past.  With references to the Steve Miller Band, Billy Joel, Sunday church, Sunday lunch, and the death of a High School friend, Chesney recounts days gone by. COMEDY TRACK:Goofy Goober Rock by SpongeBob SquarePants"The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie" was released around this time, and included this parody of a Twisted Sister song.   Thanks for listening to “What the Riff?!?NXTGen”NOTE: To adjust the loudness of the music or voices, you may adjust the balance on your device.

The review process is in general not great.  Research says only 21% of your review reflects your actual performance. The other 79%? Reviewer preferences, interpretation differences, and who happened to see you shine—or not. One person's “excellent communicator” is another's “talks too much at meetings.”   Welcome to the land of subjectivity. And let's not forget the recency bias. Most of us can't remember what we had for lunch last week, let alone your Q1 wins. Performance reviews often rely heavily on the last six weeks—which means your January brilliance is now irrelevant. We start with a flawed process that can feel deeply personal, which as we know is a bad mix for our ease, meaning and joy at work. So what can we do? Before the review, ask: What's expected of me? What's the goal of this review? Do you want a response? When? During the review: Listen—sometimes that's enough. Keep your cool—even if your face betrays you. Ask questions—gently, curiously. Buy time—especially if you didn't see it coming. Hunt for the helpful—what's useful, what's noise? Craft your response—thanks, questions, or a plan. If you're underperforming—own it. Ask what improvement looks like. Show don't tell—words are easy, action is powerful. Create a plan—share it, follow up, stay engaged. If you're surprised by feedback, that's probably not failure—it's probably information. Maybe your boss doesn't give real-time feedback. Maybe expectations were never clearly shared. And there are times when we can be just not plugged in and self-aware - considering why we are surprised can be very helpful. And remember: this isn't just feedback on you. It's also a window into your boss, your team, and your company. There's data in how they deliver feedback, what they notice, and what they miss. So take a breath. Accept the review as just one piece of a much bigger picture. Learn what you can. Then, let it go, Elsa. Let it go.   GOOD READS Why You Might Want to Say Goodbye to the Annual Performance Review | Working Knowledge How to Respond to a Performance Review: 9 Tips Employees Need to Know — ManageBetter (32) How to Respond Effectively During Your Performance Review: A Guide to Standing Out and Driving Growth | LinkedIn 17 Phrases To Respond to Constructive Criticism, According to Psychologists - Parade Responding to Feedback You Disagree With Performance Reviews
