Today on The Riff, we talk about New Year's resolutions… or New Year's goals… I think it's something related to the new year… Happy New Year, Riff Raff!
What started for us as a cozy holiday podcast about baking and cheer immediately became a field report on why camels should not freelance in live nativities.We bounce from cookie dough confessions to seasonal overconfidence, discovering that December mainly exists to test how much butter one household can legally own.When the camel enters the story, we realize no one is ever emotionally prepared for an animal that treats biblical history as a suggestion.We then pivot hard into animal nutrition, confidently discussing what donkeys and goats should eat despite all available evidence suggesting goats reject authority entirely.A goat eating chili becomes our collective cautionary tale, complete with regret, dramatics, and the revelation that goats experience emotions mostly as performance art.We briefly wonder aloud about goat fight clubs, immediately deciding this is how podcasts accidentally get subpoenaed.Christmas gifting comes under review as we agree live goats are a liability, while goat-themed items offer the same charm with fewer emergency vet calls.

Der Indische Rotfeuerfisch breitet sich im Mittelmeer vor den Küsten Südeuropas aus und verdrängt heimische Arten vom Riff. Er frisst fast alles, was ihm vors Maul schwimmt.

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.

The book of Joel is one of those books that almost everyone who attends church has heard a sermon from, but can't really tell you what it was about. Have no fear, Bael and Riff are on the case. Join them and take a look at one of the only 'Minor Prophets' that we're certain we're pronouncing correctly.

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!

In this quiet and intimate Riff, Gino invites you into a deeper encounter with your True Self. He begins with a guided exercise from Shine, asking you to strip away every role and achievement until only you remain. In that stillness, you notice where you sit on the spectrum between peace and pain. That awareness becomes a doorway into knowing yourself more honestly.Gino then shares the story of his four day personal retreat, a stretch of time without identity or distraction. He wrote his life story, journaled, rested, met long-forgotten teachings, and sat in silence with himself. There was introspection, beauty, and a real shift at the core.He leaves you with a gentle question: What would happen if you created even a small retreat of your own? What part of your True Self might come forward?

Should we be cautious about building more roads to ease congestion? That's the suggestion from Trinity Professor Brian Caulfield, who warned that traffic modelling features a concept known as “induced demand”.
The book of Habakkuk is one of the few "Minor Prophets" that gets a bit of play from the traditional Christian set. They love his end of the world prophecy of doom. Don't get us wrong, we love impending doom as much as anyone, but there's a lot more going on here than most people realize. Join Bael and Riff as they look for the non doom related portions of this ancient text.
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.

Juan is prepping to preach a sermon so we're helping him! We wander through the strange intersection where humor, faith, and hope all try to share the same crosswalk without causing a theological traffic jam. We chat about what actually goes on behind the scenes of podcasting, how we pretend to prepare sermons, and why sneaking humor into preaching should probably count as a spiritual gift. Somewhere between laughing at ourselves and trying to sound wise, we tackle hope, Christmas, Advent, and the many creative ways humans navigate the emotional roller coaster between despair and optimism. We even take a stab at explaining the difference between faith and hope, mostly by admitting that perspective matters and that ours isn’t always the most reliable. With our usual mix of jokes, confessions, and “please don’t quote us on this,” we reflect on everyday struggles and why keeping hope alive in a complicated world feels a lot like trying to keep a candle lit in a wind tunnel.
