Podcasts about Riff

This week on The Riff, Martz sits down with our Springfield Campus Students Director, Kyren, to talk about student ministry, Martin Luther King Jr, and Chicago Bears football. Yeah…I think they're getting the hang of this "riff" thing. We hope today is helpful. Thanks for listening!

Lynch riffs on the seventh studio album from Metallica, Reload from December 1997 (Better Than You / The Memory Remains / Fuel). STAFF PICKS: Save Tonight by Eagle Eye Cherry — Rob Sex & Candy by Marcy Playground — Wayne Walkin' On the Sun by Smash Mouth — Bruce. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK: Street Life by Randy Crawford (from the motion picture "Jackie Brown"). **(NOTE: What the Riff?!? does not own the rights to any of these songs and we neither sell, nor profit from them.

This week we looked back on the previous seven days and discovered that our bodies are still a series of confusing noises, our health issues remain mostly imaginary until proven otherwise, and seagulls have evolved into confident beach criminals who make direct eye contact while stealing food. We debated whether it’s ethical to summon predators, concluded animals are doing whatever they want regardless of our opinions, and tried to figure out how to end conversations without resorting to fake phone calls or slowly backing into traffic. We also wandered through the modern shopping experience, from the strange treasures at Ollie’s to the emotional roller coaster of grocery delivery, where someone else chooses your produce and you just have to live with that. Along the way we questioned technology, nostalgia, college memories, daytime television, and why hospitals are the one place where you desperately want everyone to leave you alone while also needing them to bring snacks. Altogether, it’s a thoughtful, meandering examination of consumer culture, social behavior, and the ongoing mystery of how we got here and why the seagulls are winning.

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 600 of the Chasing Tone Podcast -  The legend of goat mountain, Brian wants a new Les Paul, and behold - the Human Riff!We join the guys in a bizarre stand off as they convene for the annual "No Richards" party at NAMM and there is a mysterious portent. Meanwhile the guys come up with a new idea for a business and it is swiftly erased from memory. Blake has a special British guest on Tape Spaghetti this week and spills all.Brian has GAS for a Les Paul and the guys discuss it before looking at an all new ES 355 from Gibson that has quite the price tag and we learn that Brian has a lot on his mind. Richard found some new David Gilmour footage and it simultaneously ignites a new debate and nearly bores Brian to sleep.There is some Grand Theft Auto action as Blake makes a terrible admission about his gaming history. Meanwhile Richard is editing a book about a famous Californian band and it has awoken a deeper understanding - but not of how to pronounce names. He and Brian also drop some teases about what they are showing at NAMM. Only Fans, Random Facts, RIP Bob Weir, Guitar Whales, Carmageddon, Anthony Cleetus...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!We are on Patreon now too!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/chasingtonepodcast)Courses and DIY mods:https://www.betterguitartone.comhttps://www.wamplerdiy.comhttps://www.guitarpedalcourse.comYoutube:https://www.youtube.com/@chasingtonepodcastFind us at:https://www.wamplerpedals.com/https://www.instagram.com/WamplerPedals/https://www.facebook.com/groups/wamplerfanpage/Contact us at: podcast@wamplerpedals.comSupport the showSupport the show

In this episode, Gino reflects on the role advice plays in growth and why discernment matters as much as openness. He explores three types of advice: Too Much Outside Advice, Too Little Outside Advice, and the often overlooked Voice of Inner Wisdom. While growth requires learning from others, Gino shares how over-seeking can create overwhelm, erode confidence, and pull us away from our True Self.Drawing on Shine principles, personal experience, and insights from his sabbatical, Gino invites listeners to consider when it may be time to pause external input and listen inward. He also addresses the relationship between advice and confidence, highlighting the balance between humility and self-trust. At its heart, the conversation points toward trusting your own wisdom, honoring your timing, and allowing yourself to become your own guru.

Today on The Riff, Martz sits down with Drew to play the game 20 questions. But he asks way more than 20 questions… I don't think he understands the game. We hope today is helpful. Thanks for listening!

Rob riffs on the fourth studio album by the Foo Fighters, One by One, from October 2002 (Times Like These / Overdrive / Low / All My Life).   STAFF PICKS: The Middle by Jimmy Eat World — Wayne Get Over It by OK Go — Bruce Prayer by Disturbed — Greg   ENTERTAINMENT TRACK: Main theme from the motion picture "Red Dragon".   **(NOTE: What the Riff?!? does not own the rights to any of these songs and we neither sell, nor profit from them.

We spend time talking through New Year’s traditions, mostly by noticing how much meaning we’ve managed to assign to them. We discuss eating out, the choices we make around food, and the responsibilities that come with traveling, all of which feel more complicated once we’re actually doing them. Along the way, we reflect on how these habits have become normal and why they continue to matter to us. We also talk about resolutions, confetti, and the symbolism we attach to small moments and objects. We touch on capturing memories, saying goodbyes, and the simple pleasure found in cancellations. The conversation rounds out with a look at choosing a “word of the year” and a light, humorous critique of how fast food mascots, especially Ronald McDonald—have changed over time.

In this episode, Gino explores a truth that sits at the root of Shedding and Shining: honesty. He shares why being open and honest with yourself and with others is not just a value, but the foundation for freeing your True Self. Drawing from his sabbatical and the book Radical Honesty, Gino introduces three levels of telling the truth: revealing the facts from the past, being honest about current thoughts and feelings, and exposing the fiction of the ego or persona.He reflects on how performance, people pleasing, and fear pull us away from authenticity, and why truth, even when uncomfortable, ultimately brings clarity and freedom. The episode closes with a passionate reminder that honesty does not equal cruelty. When truth comes from the heart, it is an act of love. Gino invites listeners to practice openness, demand honesty in their relationships, and trust that the truth will set them free.

In this episode, we sit down with the purest of intentions and immediately derail into absolutely everything. We start by catching up on our week, which somehow includes community theater, a Christmas carol, and the realization that small-town productions carry higher emotional stakes than most blockbuster movies. From there, we naturally move into a very serious and completely authoritative discussion about orcs, goblins, and why fantasy creatures seem to have better branding than actual humans. Christmas movies also come under fire, especially the question no one wants to ask out loud: what exactly were the stakes in Home Alone, and why did an entire generation decide booby traps were a reasonable life skill? Somewhere between confessing our household maintenance failures and acknowledging projects that will never be finished, we introduce “the brick,” a digital detox tool designed to help us stop staring at our phones like they personally wronged us. That opens the door to a broader conversation about distractions, modern communication, and why texting feels emotionally hollow unless it’s padded with an irresponsible number of exclamation points. Naturally, this all slides into conspiracy territory. We explore the mysterious Tartarian civilization, debate the moon landing with just enough confidence to be alarming, and talk about how AI is quietly shaping what we believe, what we doubt, and what keeps showing up in everyone’s feed. Accents and cultural stereotypes make an appearance too, not because we planned it, but because they tend to sneak into conversations whether invited or not. By the end, we’ve questioned reality, Christmas, technology, history, and whether or not it's reasonable to use a single emoji as a response to every situation.

In this festive—and mildly chaotic—episode, we dive head-first into the wonderfully unpredictable world of children’s Christmas productions. Sure, adults dream of polished performances, but let’s be honest: the magic is in the mayhem. A sheep costume held together with hope, a shepherd who suddenly decides he’s done shepherding, and a Wise Man who moonwalks across the stage—this is the good stuff. It’s also a reminder that nostalgia is a powerful filter… because somehow we forget that our own childhood pageants looked like a dress rehearsal for herding cats. We also tackle the evolving role of Santa Claus, who now shares top billing with commercialism, candy canes, and whatever new toy requires a second mortgage. And when it comes to telling your kids about Santa? We discuss the delicate balance between “preserving the magic” and “accidentally launching a career in investigative journalism.” Asking questions, it turns out, might be safer than crafting a 14-chapter North Pole backstory. Music makes an appearance too—specifically those songs that lodge themselves in your brain and refuse to pay rent. We talk about how learning the missing lyrics can finally set you free, and how modern AI is now helping create songs you’ll be annoyed by in half the time. Add in family games, awkward commercials that break every emotional moment, kids’ songs that permanently alter the atmosphere of your home, and the amusingly alarming side effects of modern medicine, and you’ve got a holiday episode packed with cheer, chuckles, and just enough chaos to feel authentic. It’s Christmas culture, comedy, and parental therapy wrapped in one giant, glitter-covered bow. Enjoy!

Today on The Riff.... Drew Williams. We hope today is helpful. Thanks for listening!!

In this episode we open with the revelation that the human mouth is essentially a musical instrument, which finally explains why our conversations occasionally sound like experimental jazz. From there we jump straight into Christmas, comparing the holiday of yesteryear with today’s version where Black Friday has migrated online and become a competitive sport with shopping carts instead of helmets. Our own experiences weave through the chaos, shaping the way we see holiday traditions and reminding us that nothing says “festive spirit” quite like the stories you never intended to collect. Animals enter the chat, of course. They always do. We talk squirrels with tactical instincts, sloths operating on a different calendar entirely, and koalas who avoid being hunted purely on the strength of their terrible flavor profile. Nature stays weird, and we stay entertained. The food theme escalates with bear meat, which apparently requires a preparation process similar to assembling a complicated piece of furniture. Then we pivot to winter driving, because nothing bonds people like recounting close calls with icy roads. We cover the importance of practicing on slick surfaces, understanding vehicle technology, and avoiding the sort of spin you usually only see in Olympic skating. Christmas gigs make an appearance too, because performers in December run on adrenaline, cookies, and questionable scheduling decisions. We explore what it means to look for connection in communities where everyone seems to be part of a decades-long group chat you weren’t added to. Along the way we note that love often hides inside social events you didn’t even want to attend, waiting for you to bump into it on your way to the snack table. By the end, we’ve toured holiday chaos, wildlife quirks, culinary adventures, winter survival skills, and the unpredictable paths that open when you say yes to new experiences. And somehow it all fits perfectly into one conversation.

Thanksgiving gets a full roast this episode as we dive into the annual paradox of expressing gratitude while elbowing strangers for the last can of cranberry sauce. We swap stories about chaotic grocery runs, family traditions that include creatively vandalizing greeting cards, and the unspoken rule that certain topics are banned at dinner unless you want to watch Uncle Larry spontaneously combust. We tackle the spiritual mystery of why Thanksgiving and Black Friday sit next to each other on the calendar like a wholesome nun sharing a bunk bed with a pickpocket. There’s also talk of buffet lines, questionable food preferences, holiday decorating schedules that start before the dishes are washed, and the alarming number of Pop-Tart flavors that should not exist. Basically, it’s a lighthearted stroll through the commercialization of gratitude season, where everyone insists they’re thankful while also fighting for parking spots like it’s the Hunger Games.
