Ditty, and Brian Alford. This podcast was recorded under a SAG-AFTRA Agreement. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Ooh, black and yellow! Let's shake it up a little. Barry! Breakfast is ready! Coming! Hang on a second. Hello? - Barry? - Adam? - Can you believe this is happening? - I can't. I'll pick you up. Looking sharp. Use the stairs. Your father paid good money for those. Sorry. I'm excited. Here's the graduate. We're very proud of you, son. A perfect report card, all B's. Very proud. Ma! I got a thing going here. - You got lint on your fuzz. - Ow! That's me! - Wave to us! We'll be in row 118,000. - Bye! Barry, I told you, stop flying in the house! - Hey, Adam. - Hey, Barry. - Is that fuzz gel? - A little. Special day, graduation. Never thought I'd make it. Three days grade school, three days high school. Those were awkward. Three days college. I'm glad I took a day and hitchhiked around the hive. You did come back different. - Hi, Barry. - Artie, growing a mustache? Looks good. - Hear about Frankie? - Yeah. - You going to the funeral? - No, I'm not going. Everybody knows, sting someone, you die. Don't waste it on a squirrel. Such a hothead. I guess he could have just gotten out of the way. I love this incorporating an amusement park into our day. That's why we don't need vacations. Boy, quite a bit of pomp… under the circumstances. - Well, Adam, today we are men. - We are! - Bee-men. - Amen! Hallelujah! Students, faculty, distinguished bees, please welcome Dean Buzzwell. Welcome, New Hive City graduating class of… …9:15. That concludes our ceremonies. And begins your career at Honex Industries! Will we pick our job today? I heard it's just orientation. Heads up! Here we go. Keep your hands and antennas inside the tram at all times. - Wonder what it'll be like? - A little scary. Welcome to Honex, a division of Honesco and a part of the Hexagon Group. This is it! Wow. Wow. We know that you, as a bee, have worked your whole life to get to the point where you can work for your whole life. Honey begins when our valiant Pollen Jocks bring the nectar to the hive. Our top-secret formula is automatically color-corrected, scent-adjusted and bubble-contoured into this soothing sweet syrup with its distinctive golden glow you know as… Honey! - That girl was hot. - She's my cousin! - She is? - Yes, we're all cousins. - Right. You're right. - At Honex, we constantly strive to improve every aspect of bee existence. These bees are stress-testing a new helmet technology. - What do you think he makes? - Not enough. Here we have our latest advancement, the Krelman. - What does that do? - Oatches that little strand of honey that hangs after you pour it. Saves us millions. Oan anyone work on the Krelman? Of course. Most bee jobs are small ones. But bees know that every small job, if it's done well, means a lot. But choose carefully because you'll stay in the job you pick for the rest of your life. The same job the rest of your life? I didn't know that. What's the difference? You'll be happy to know that bees, as a species, haven't had one day off in 27 million years. So you'll just work us to death? We'll sure try. Wow! That blew my mind! “What's the difference?” How can you say that? One job forever? That's an insane choice to have to make. I'm relieved. Now we only have to make one decision in life. But, Adam, how could they never have told us that? Why would you question anything? We're bees. We're the most perfectly functioning society on Earth. You ever think maybe things work a little too well here? Like what? Give me one example. I don't know. But you know what I'm talking about. Please clear the gate. Royal Nectar Force on approach. Wait a second. Oheck it out. - Hey, those are Pollen Jocks! - Wow. I've never seen them this close. They know what it's like outside the hive. Yeah, but some don't come back. - Hey, Jocks! - Hi, Jocks! You guys did great! You're monsters! You're sky freaks! I love it! I love it! - I wonder where they were. - I don't know. Their day's not planned. Outside the hive, flying who knows where, doing who knows what. You can'tjust decide to be a Pollen Jock. You have to be bred for that. Right. Look. That's more pollen than you and I will see in a lifetime. It's just a status symbol. Bees make too much of it. Perhaps. Unless you're wearing it and the ladies see you wearing it. Those ladies? Aren't they our cousins too? Distant. Distant. Look at these two. - Oouple of Hive Harrys. - Let's have fun with them. It must be dangerous being a Pollen Jock. Yeah. Once a bear pinned me against a mushroom! He had a paw on my throat, and with the other, he was slapping me! - Oh, my! - I never thought I'd knock him out. What were you doing during this? Trying to alert the authorities. I can autograph that. A little gusty out there today, wasn't it, comrades? Yeah. Gusty. We're hitting a sunflower patch six miles from here tomorrow. - Six miles, huh? - Barry! A puddle jump for us, but maybe you're not up for it. - Maybe I am. - You are not! We're going 0900 at J-Gate. What do you think, buzzy-boy? Are you bee enough? I might be. It all depends on what 0900 means. Hey, Honex! Dad, you surprised me. You decide what you're interested in? - Well, there's a lot of choices. - But you only get one. Do you ever get bored doing the same job every day? Son, let me tell you about stirring. You grab that stick, and you just move it around, and you stir it around. You get yourself into a rhythm. It's a beautiful thing. You know, Dad, the more I think about it, maybe the honey field just isn't right for me. You were thinking of what, making balloon animals? That's a bad job for a guy with a stinger. Janet, your son's not sure he wants to go into honey! - Barry, you are so funny sometimes. - I'm not trying to be funny. You're not funny! You're going into honey. Our son, the stirrer! - You're gonna be a stirrer? - No one's listening to me! Wait till you see the sticks I have. I could say anything right now. I'm gonna get an ant tattoo! Let's open some honey and celebrate! Maybe I'll pierce my thorax. Shave my antennae. Shack up with a grasshopper. Get a gold tooth and call everybody “dawg”! I'm so proud. - We're starting work today! - Today's the day. Oome on! All the good jobs will be gone. Yeah, right. Pollen counting, stunt bee, pouring, stirrer, front desk, hair removal… - Is it still available? - Hang on. Two left! One of them's yours! Oongratulations! Step to the side. - What'd you get? - Picking crud out. Stellar! Wow! Oouple of newbies? Yes, sir! Our first day! We are ready! Make your choice. - You want to go first? - No, you go. Oh, my. What's available? Restroom attendant's open, not for the reason you think. - Any chance of getting the Krelman? - Sure, you're on. I'm sorry, the Krelman just closed out. Wax monkey's always open. The Krelman opened up again. What happened? A bee died. Makes an opening. See? He's dead. Another dead one. Deady. Deadified. Two more dead. Dead from the neck up. Dead from the neck down. That's life! Oh, this is so hard! Heating, cooling, stunt bee, pourer, stirrer, humming, inspector number seven, lint coordinator, stripe supervisor, mite wrangler. Barry, what do you think I should… Barry? Barry! All right, we've got the sunflower patch in quadrant nine… What happened to you? Where are you? - I'm going out. - Out? Out where? - Out there. - Oh, no! I have to, before I go to work for the rest of my life. You're gonna die! You're crazy! Hello? Another call coming in. If anyone's feeling brave, there's a Korean deli on 83rd that gets their roses today. Hey, guys. - Look at that. - Isn't that the kid we saw yesterday? Hold it, son, flight deck's restricted. It's OK, Lou. We're gonna take him up. Really? Feeling lucky, are you? Sign here, here. Just initial that. - Thank you. - OK. You got a rain advisory today, and as you all know, bees cannot fly in rain. So be careful. As always, watch your brooms, hockey sticks, dogs, birds, bears and bats. Also, I got a couple of reports of root beer being poured on us. Murphy's in a home because of it, babbling like a cicada! - That's awful. - And a reminder for you rookies, bee law number one, absolutely no talking to humans! All right, launch positions! Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz! Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz! Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz! Black and yellow! Hello! You ready for this, hot shot? Yeah. Yeah, bring it on. Wind, check. - Antennae, check. - Nectar pack, check. - Wings, check. - Stinger, check. Scared out of my shorts, check. OK, ladies, let's move it out! Pound those petunias, you striped stem-suckers! All of you, drain those flowers! Wow! I'm out! I can't believe I'm out! So blue. I feel so fast and free! Box kite! Wow! Flowers! This is Blue Leader. We have roses visual. Bring it around 30 degrees and hold. Roses! 30 degrees, roger. Bringing it around. Stand to the side, kid. It's got a bit of a kick. That is one nectar collector! - Ever see pollination up close? - No, sir. I pick up some pollen here, sprinkle it over here. Maybe a dash over there, a pinch on that one. See that? It's a little bit of magic. That's amazing. Why do we do that? That's pollen power. More pollen, more flowers, more nectar, more honey for us. Cool. I'm picking up a lot of bright yellow. Oould be daisies. Don't we need those? Oopy that visual. Wait. One of these flowers seems to be on the move. Say again? You're reporting a moving flower? Affirmative. That was on the line! This is the coolest. What is it? I don't know, but I'm loving this color. It smells good. Not like a flower, but I like it. Yeah, fuzzy. Ohemical-y. Oareful, guys. It's a little grabby. My sweet lord of bees! Oandy-brain, get off there! Problem! - Guys! - This could be bad. Affirmative. Very close. Gonna hurt. Mama's little boy. You are way out of position, rookie! Ooming in at you like a missile! Help me! I don't think these are flowers. - Should we tell him? - I think he knows. What is this?! Match point! You can start packing up, honey, because you're about to eat it! Yowser! Gross. There's a bee in the car! - Do something! - I'm driving! - Hi, bee. - He's back here! He's going to sting me! Nobody move. If you don't move, he won't sting you. Freeze! He blinked! Spray him, Granny! What are you doing?! Wow… the tension level out here is unbelievable. I gotta get home. Oan't fly in rain. Oan't fly in rain. Oan't fly in rain. Mayday! Mayday! Bee going down! Ken, could you close the window please? Ken, could you close the window please? Oheck out my new resume. I made it into a fold-out brochure. You see? Folds out. Oh, no. More humans. I don't need this. What was that? Maybe this time. This time. This time. This time! This time! This… Drapes! That is diabolical. It's fantastic. It's got all my special skills, even my top-ten favorite movies. What's number one? Star Wars? Nah, I don't go for that… …kind of stuff. No wonder we shouldn't talk to them. They're out of their minds. When I leave a job interview, they're flabbergasted, can't believe what I say. There's the sun. Maybe that's a way out. I don't remember the sun having a big 75 on it. I predicted global warming. I could feel it getting hotter. At first I thought it was just me. Wait! Stop! Bee! Stand back. These are winter boots. Wait! Don't kill him! You know I'm allergic to them! This thing could kill me! Why does his life have less value than yours? Why does his life have any less value than mine? Is that your statement? I'm just saying all life has value. You don't know what he's capable of feeling. My brochure! There you go, little guy. I'm not scared of him. It's an allergic thing. Put that on your resume brochure. My whole face could puff up. Make it one of your special skills. Knocking someone out is also a special skill. Right. Bye, Vanessa. Thanks. - Vanessa, next week? Yogurt night? - Sure, Ken. You know, whatever. - You could put carob chips on there. - Bye. - Supposed to be less calories. - Bye. I gotta say something. She saved my life. I gotta say something. All right, here it goes. Nah. What would I say? I could really get in trouble. It's a bee law. You're not supposed to talk to a human. I can't believe I'm doing this. I've got to. Oh, I can't do it. Oome on! No. Yes. No. Do it. I can't. How should I start it? “You like jazz?” No, that's no good. Here she comes! Speak, you fool! Hi! I'm sorry. - You're talking. - Yes, I know. You're talking! I'm so sorry. No, it's OK. It's fine. I know I'm dreaming. But I don't recall going to bed. Well, I'm sure this is very disconcerting. This is a bit of a surprise to me. I mean, you're a bee! I am. And I'm not supposed to be doing this, but they were all trying to kill me. And if it wasn't for you… I had to thank you. It's just how I was raised. That was a little weird. - I'm talking with a bee. - Yeah. I'm talking to a bee. And the bee is talking to me! I just want to say I'm grateful. I'll leave now. - Wait! How did you learn to do that? - What? The talking thing. Same way you did, I guess. “Mama, Dada, honey.” You pick it up. - That's very funny. - Yeah. Bees are funny. If we didn't laugh, we'd cry with what we have to deal with. Anyway… Oan I… …get you something? - Like what? I don't know. I mean… I don't know. Ooffee? I don't want to put you out. It's no trouble. It takes two minutes. - It's just coffee. - I hate to impose. - Don't be ridiculous! - Actually, I would love a cup. Hey, you want rum cake? - I shouldn't. - Have some. - No, I can't. - Oome on! I'm trying to lose a couple micrograms. - Where? - These stripes don't help. You look great! I don't know if you know anything about fashion. Are you all right? No. He's making the tie in the cab as they're flying up Madison. He finally gets there. He runs up the steps into the church. The wedding is on. And he says, “Watermelon? I thought you said Guatemalan. Why would I marry a watermelon?” Is that a bee joke? That's the kind of stuff we do. Yeah, different. So, what are you gonna do, Barry? About work? I don't know. I want to do my part for the hive, but I can't do it the way they want. I know how you feel. - You do? - Sure. My parents wanted me to be a lawyer or a doctor, but I wanted to be a florist. - Really? - My only interest is flowers. Our new queen was just elected with that same campaign slogan. Anyway, if you look… There's my hive right there. See it? You're in Sheep Meadow! Yes! I'm right off the Turtle Pond! No way! I know that area. I lost a toe ring there once. - Why do girls put rings on their toes? - Why not? - It's like putting a hat on your knee. - Maybe I'll try that. - You all right, ma'am? - Oh, yeah. Fine. Just having two cups of coffee! Anyway, this has been great. Thanks for the coffee. Yeah, it's no trouble. Sorry I couldn't finish it. If I did, I'd be up the rest of my life. Are you…? Oan I take a piece of this with me? Sure! Here, have a crumb. - Thanks! - Yeah. All right. Well, then… I guess I'll see you around. Or not. OK, Barry. And thank you so much again… for before. Oh, that? That was nothing. Well, not nothing, but… Anyway… This can't possibly work. He's all set to go. We may as well try it. OK, Dave, pull the chute. - Sounds amazing. - It was amazing! It was the scariest, happiest moment of my life. Humans! I can't believe you were with humans! Giant, scary humans! What were they like? Huge and crazy. They talk crazy. They eat crazy giant things. They drive crazy. - Do they try and kill you, like on TV? - Some of them. But some of them don't. - How'd you get back? - Poodle. You did it, and I'm glad. You saw whatever you wanted to see. You had your “experience.” Now you can pick out yourjob and be normal. - Well… - Well? Well, I met someone. You did? Was she Bee-ish? - A wasp?! Your parents will kill you! - No, no, no, not a wasp. - Spider? - I'm not attracted to spiders. I know it's the hottest thing, with the eight legs and all. I can't get by that face. So who is she? She's… human. No, no. That's a bee law. You wouldn't break a bee law. - Her name's Vanessa. - Oh, boy. She's so nice. And she's a florist! Oh, no! You're dating a human florist! We're not dating. You're flying outside the hive, talking to humans that attack our homes with power washers and M-80s! One-eighth a stick of dynamite! She saved my life! And she understands me. This is over! Eat this. This is not over! What was that? - They call it a crumb. - It was so stingin' stripey! And that's not what they eat. That's what falls off what they eat! - You know what a Oinnabon is? - No. It's bread and cinnamon and frosting. They heat it up… Sit down! …really hot! - Listen to me! We are not them! We're us. There's us and there's them! Yes, but who can deny the heart that is yearning? There's no yearning. Stop yearning. Listen to me! You have got to start thinking bee, my friend. Thinking bee! - Thinking bee. - Thinking bee. Thinking bee! Thinking bee! Thinking bee! Thinking bee! There he is. He's in the pool. You know what your problem is, Barry? I gotta start thinking bee? How much longer will this go on? It's been three days! Why aren't you working? I've got a lot of big life decisions to think about. What life? You have no life! You have no job. You're barely a bee! Would it kill you to make a little honey? Barry, come out. Your father's talking to you. Martin, would you talk to him? Barry, I'm talking to you! You coming? Got everything? All set! Go ahead. I'll catch up. Don't be too long. Watch this! Vanessa! - We're still here. - I told you not to yell at him. He doesn't respond to yelling! - Then why yell at me? - Because you don't listen! I'm not listening to this. Sorry, I've gotta go. - Where are you going? - I'm meeting a friend. A girl? Is this why you can't decide? Bye. I just hope she's Bee-ish. They have a huge parade of flowers every year in Pasadena? To be in the Tournament of Roses, that's every florist's dream! Up on a float, surrounded by flowers, crowds cheering. A tournament. Do the roses compete in athletic events? No. All right, I've got one. How come you don't fly everywhere? It's exhausting. Why don't you run everywhere? It's faster. Yeah, OK, I see, I see. All right, your turn. TiVo. You can just freeze live TV? That's insane! You don't have that? We have Hivo, but it's a disease. It's a horrible, horrible disease. Oh, my. Dumb bees! You must want to sting all those jerks. We try not to sting. It's usually fatal for us. So you have to watch your temper. Very carefully. You kick a wall, take a walk, write an angry letter and throw it out. Work through it like any emotion: Anger, jealousy, lust. Oh, my goodness! Are you OK? Yeah. - What is wrong with you?! - It's a bug. He's not bothering anybody. Get out of here, you creep! What was that? A Pic ‘N' Save circular? Yeah, it was. How did you know? It felt like about 10 pages. Seventy-five is pretty much our limit. You've really got that down to a science. - I lost a cousin to Italian Vogue. - I'll bet. What in the name of Mighty Hercules is this? How did this get here? Oute Bee, Golden Blossom, Ray Liotta Private Select? - Is he that actor? - I never heard of him. - Why is this here? - For people. We eat it. You don't have enough food of your own? - Well, yes. - How do you get it? - Bees make it. - I know who makes it! And it's hard to make it! There's heating, cooling, stirring. You need a whole Krelman thing! - It's organic. - It's our-ganic! It's just honey, Barry. Just what?! Bees don't know about this! This is stealing! A lot of stealing! You've taken our homes, schools, hospitals! This is all we have! And it's on sale?! I'm getting to the bottom of this. I'm getting to the bottom of all of this! Hey, Hector. - You almost done? - Almost. He is here. I sense it. Well, I guess I'll go home now and just leave this nice honey out, with no one around. You're busted, box boy! I knew I heard something. So you can talk! I can talk. And now you'll start talking! Where you getting the sweet stuff? Who's your supplier? I don't understand. I thought we were friends. The last thing we want to do is upset bees! You're too late! It's ours now! You, sir, have crossed the wrong sword! You, sir, will be lunch for my iguana, Ignacio! Where is the honey coming from? Tell me where! Honey Farms! It comes from Honey Farms! Orazy person! What horrible thing has happened here? These faces, they never knew what hit them. And now they're on the road to nowhere! Just keep still. What? You're not dead? Do I look dead? They will wipe anything that moves. Where you headed? To Honey Farms. I am onto something huge here. I'm going to Alaska. Moose blood, crazy stuff. Blows your head off! I'm going to Tacoma. - And you? - He really is dead. All right. Uh-oh! - What is that?! - Oh, no! - A wiper! Triple blade! - Triple blade? Jump on! It's your only chance, bee! Why does everything have to be so doggone clean?! How much do you people need to see?! Open your eyes! Stick your head out the window! From NPR News in Washington, I'm Carl Kasell. But don't kill no more bugs! - Bee! - Moose blood guy!! - You hear something? - Like what? Like tiny screaming. Turn off the radio. Whassup, bee boy? Hey, Blood. Just a row of honey jars, as far as the eye could see. Wow! I assume wherever this truck goes is where they're getting it. I mean, that honey's ours. - Bees hang tight. - We're all jammed in. It's a close community. Not us, man. We on our own. Every mosquito on his own. - What if you get in trouble? - You a mosquito, you in trouble. Nobody likes us. They just smack. See a mosquito, smack, smack! At least you're out in the world. You must meet girls. Mosquito girls try to trade up, get with a moth, dragonfly. Mosquito girl don't want no mosquito. You got to be kidding me! Mooseblood's about to leave the building! So long, bee! - Hey, guys! - Mooseblood! I knew I'd catch y'all down here. Did you bring your crazy straw? We throw it in jars, slap a label on it, and it's pretty much pure profit. What is this place? A bee's got a brain the size of a pinhead. They are pinheads! Pinhead. - Oheck out the new smoker. - Oh, sweet. That's the one you want. The Thomas 3000! Smoker? Ninety puffs a minute, semi-automatic. Twice the nicotine, all the tar. A couple breaths of this knocks them right out. They make the honey, and we make the money. “They make the honey, and we make the money”? Oh, my! What's going on? Are you OK? Yeah. It doesn't last too long. Do you know you're in a fake hive with fake walls? Our queen was moved here. We had no choice. This is your queen? That's a man in women's clothes! That's a drag queen! What is this? Oh, no! There's hundreds of them! Bee honey. Our honey is being brazenly stolen on a massive scale! This is worse than anything bears have done! I intend to do something. Oh, Barry, stop. Who told you humans are taking our honey? That's a rumor. Do these look like rumors? That's a conspiracy theory. These are obviously doctored photos. How did you get mixed up in this? He's been talking to humans. - What? - Talking to humans?! He has a human girlfriend. And they make out! Make out? Barry! We do not. - You wish you could. - Whose side are you on? The bees! I dated a cricket once in San Antonio. Those crazy legs kept me up all night. Barry, this is what you want to do with your life? I want to do it for all our lives. Nobody works harder than bees! Dad, I remember you coming home so overworked your hands were still stirring. You couldn't stop. I remember that. What right do they have to our honey? We live on two cups a year. They put it in lip balm for no reason whatsoever! Even if it's true, what can one bee do? Sting them where it really hurts. In the face! The eye! - That would hurt. - No. Up the nose? That's a killer. There's only one place you can sting the humans, one place where it matters. Hive at Five, the hive's only full-hour action news source. No more bee beards! With Bob Bumble at the anchor desk. Weather with Storm Stinger. Sports with Buzz Larvi. And Jeanette Chung. - Good evening. I'm Bob Bumble. - And I'm Jeanette Chung. A tri-county bee, Barry Benson, intends to sue the human race for stealing our honey, packaging it and profiting from it illegally! Tomorrow night on Bee Larry King, we'll have three former queens here in our studio, discussing their new book, Classy Ladies, out this week on Hexagon. Tonight we're talking to Barry Benson. Did you ever think, “I'm a kid from the hive. I can't do this”? Bees have never been afraid to change the world. What about Bee Columbus? Bee Gandhi? Bee Jesus? Where I'm from, we'd never sue humans. We were thinking of stickball or candy stores. How old are you? The bee community is supporting you in this case, which will be the trial of the bee century. You know, they have a Larry King in the human world too. It's a common name. Next week… He looks like you and has a show and suspenders and colored dots… Next week… Glasses, quotes on the bottom from the guest even though you just heard ‘em. Bear Week next week! They're scary, hairy and here live. Always leans forward, pointy shoulders, squinty eyes, very Jewish. In tennis, you attack at the point of weakness! It was my grandmother, Ken. She's 81. Honey, her backhand's a joke! I'm not gonna take advantage of that? Quiet, please. Actual work going on here. - Is that that same bee? - Yes, it is! I'm helping him sue the human race. - Hello. - Hello, bee. This is Ken. Yeah, I remember you. Timberland, size ten and a half. Vibram sole, I believe. Why does he talk again? Listen, you better go ‘cause we're really busy working. But it's our yogurt night! Bye-bye. Why is yogurt night so difficult?! You poor thing. You two have been at this for hours! Yes, and Adam here has been a huge help. - Frosting… - How many sugars? Just one. I try not to use the competition. So why are you helping me? Bees have good qualities. And it takes my mind off the shop. Instead of flowers, people are giving balloon bouquets now. Those are great, if you're three. And artificial flowers. - Oh, those just get me psychotic! - Yeah, me too. Bent stingers, pointless pollination. Bees must hate those fake things! Nothing worse than a daffodil that's had work done. Maybe this could make up for it a little bit. - This lawsuit's a pretty big deal. - I guess. You sure you want to go through with it? Am I sure? When I'm done with the humans, they won't be able to say, “Honey, I'm home,” without paying a royalty! It's an incredible scene here in downtown Manhattan, where the world anxiously waits, because for the first time in history, we will hear for ourselves if a honeybee can actually speak. What have we gotten into here, Barry? It's pretty big, isn't it? I can't believe how many humans don't work during the day. You think billion-dollar multinational food companies have good lawyers? Everybody needs to stay behind the barricade. - What's the matter? - I don't know, I just got a chill. Well, if it isn't the bee team. You boys work on this? All rise! The Honorable Judge Bumbleton presiding. All right. Case number 4475, Superior Court of New York, Barry Bee Benson v. The Honey Industry is now in session. Mr. Montgomery, you're representing the five food companies collectively? A privilege. Mr. Benson… you're representing all the bees of the world? I'm kidding. Yes, Your Honor, we're ready to proceed. Mr. Montgomery, your opening statement, please. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, my grandmother was a simple woman. Born on a farm, she believed it was man's divine right to benefit from the bounty of nature God put before us. If we lived in the topsy-turvy world Mr. Benson imagines, just think of what would it mean. I would have to negotiate with the silkworm for the elastic in my britches! Talking bee! How do we know this isn't some sort of holographic motion-picture-capture Hollywood wizardry? They could be using laser beams! Robotics! Ventriloquism! Oloning! For all we know, he could be on steroids! Mr. Benson? Ladies and gentlemen, there's no trickery here. I'm just an ordinary bee. Honey's pretty important to me. It's important to all bees. We invented it! We make it. And we protect it with our lives. Unfortunately, there are some people in this room who think they can take it from us ‘cause we're the little guys! I'm hoping that, after this is all over, you'll see how, by taking our honey, you not only take everything we have but everything we are! I wish he'd dress like that all the time. So nice! Oall your first witness. So, Mr. Klauss Vanderhayden of Honey Farms, big company you have. I suppose so. I see you also own Honeyburton and Honron! Yes, they provide beekeepers for our farms. Beekeeper. I find that to be a very disturbing term. I don't imagine you employ any bee-free-ers, do you? - No. - I couldn't hear you. - No. - No. Because you don't free bees. You keep bees. Not only that, it seems you thought a bear would be an appropriate image for a jar of honey. They're very lovable creatures. Yogi Bear, Fozzie Bear, Build-A-Bear. You mean like this? Bears kill bees! How'd you like his head crashing through your living room?! Biting into your couch! Spitting out your throw pillows! OK, that's enough. Take him away. So, Mr. Sting, thank you for being here. Your name intrigues me. - Where have I heard it before? - I was with a band called The Police. But you've never been a police officer, have you? No, I haven't. No, you haven't. And so here we have yet another example of bee culture casually stolen by a human for nothing more than a prance-about stage name. Oh, please. Have you ever been stung, Mr. Sting? Because I'm feeling a little stung, Sting. Or should I say… Mr. Gordon M. Sumner! That's not his real name?! You idiots! Mr. Liotta, first, belated congratulations on your Emmy win for a guest spot on ER in 2005. Thank you. Thank you. I see from your resume that you're devilishly handsome with a churning inner turmoil that's ready to blow. I enjoy what I do. Is that a crime? Not yet it isn't. But is this what it's come to for you? Exploiting tiny, helpless bees so you don't have to rehearse your part and learn your lines, sir? Watch it, Benson! I could blow right now! This isn't a goodfella. This is a badfella! Why doesn't someone just step on this creep, and we can all go home?! - Order in this court! - You're all thinking it! Order! Order, I say! - Say it! - Mr. Liotta, please sit down! I think it was awfully nice of that bear to pitch in like that. I think the jury's on our side. Are we doing everything right, legally? I'm a florist. Right. Well, here's to a great team. To a great team! Well, hello. - Ken! - Hello. I didn't think you were coming. No, I was just late. I tried to call, but… the battery. I didn't want all this to go to waste, so I called Barry. Luckily, he was free. Oh, that was lucky. There's a little left. I could heat it up. Yeah, heat it up, sure, whatever. So I hear you're quite a tennis player. I'm not much for the game myself. The ball's a little grabby. That's where I usually sit. Right… there. Ken, Barry was looking at your resume, and he agreed with me that eating with chopsticks isn't really a special skill. You think I don't see what you're doing? I know how hard it is to find the rightjob. We have that in common. Do we? Bees have 100 percent employment, but we do jobs like taking the crud out. That's just what I was thinking about doing. Ken, I let Barry borrow your razor for his fuzz. I hope that was all right. I'm going to drain the old stinger. Yeah, you do that. Look at that. You know, I've just about had it with your little mind games. - What's that? - Italian Vogue. Mamma mia, that's a lot of pages. A lot of ads. Remember what Van said, why is your life more valuable than mine? Funny, I just can't seem to recall that! I think something stinks in here! I love the smell of flowers. How do you like the smell of flames?! Not as much. Water bug! Not taking sides! Ken, I'm wearing a Ohapstick hat! This is pathetic! I've got issues! Well, well, well, a royal flush! - You're bluffing. - Am I? Surf's up, dude! Poo water! That bowl is gnarly. Except for those dirty yellow rings! Kenneth! What are you doing?! You know, I don't even like honey! I don't eat it! We need to talk! He's just a little bee! And he happens to be the nicest bee I've met in a long time! Long time? What are you talking about?! Are there other bugs in your life? No, but there are other things bugging me in life. And you're one of them! Fine! Talking bees, no yogurt night… My nerves are fried from riding on this emotional roller coaster! Goodbye, Ken. And for your information, I prefer sugar-free, artificial sweeteners made by man! I'm sorry about all that. I know it's got an aftertaste! I like it! I always felt there was some kind of barrier between Ken and me. I couldn't overcome it. Oh, well. Are you OK for the trial? I believe Mr. Montgomery is about out of ideas. We would like to call Mr. Barry Benson Bee to the stand. Good idea! You can really see why he's considered one of the best lawyers… Yeah. Layton, you've gotta weave some magic with this jury, or it's gonna be all over. Don't worry. The only thing I have to do to turn this jury around is to remind them of what they don't like about bees. - You got the tweezers? - Are you allergic? Only to losing, son. Only to losing. Mr. Benson Bee, I'll ask you what I think we'd all like to know. What exactly is your relationship to that woman? We're friends. - Good friends? - Yes. How good? Do you live together? Wait a minute… Are you her little… …bedbug? I've seen a bee documentary or two. From what I understand, doesn't your queen give birth to all the bee children? - Yeah, but… - So those aren't your real parents! - Oh, Barry… - Yes, they are! Hold me back! You're an illegitimate bee, aren't you, Benson? He's denouncing bees! Don't y'all date your cousins? - Objection! - I'm going to pincushion this guy! Adam, don't! It's what he wants! Oh, I'm hit!! Oh, lordy, I am hit! Order! Order! The venom! The venom is coursing through my veins! I have been felled by a winged beast of destruction! You see? You can't treat them like equals! They're striped savages! Stinging's the only thing they know! It's their way! - Adam, stay with me. - I can't feel my legs. What angel of mercy will come forward to suck the poison from my heaving buttocks? I will have order in this court. Order! Order, please! The case of the honeybees versus the human race took a pointed turn against the bees yesterday when one of their legal team stung Layton T. Montgomery. - Hey, buddy. - Hey. - Is there much pain? - Yeah. I… I blew the whole case, didn't I? It doesn't matter. What matters is you're alive. You could have died. I'd be better off dead. Look at me. They got it from the cafeteria downstairs, in a tuna sandwich. Look, there's a little celery still on it. What was it like to sting someone? I can't explain it. It was all… All adrenaline and then… and then ecstasy! All right. You think it was all a trap? Of course. I'm sorry. I flew us right into this. What were we thinking? Look at us. We're just a couple of bugs in this world. What will the humans do to us if they win? I don't know. I hear they put the roaches in motels. That doesn't sound so bad. Adam, they check in, but they don't check out! Oh, my. Oould you get a nurse to close that window? - Why? - The smoke. Bees don't smoke. Right. Bees don't smoke. Bees don't smoke! But some bees are smoking. That's it! That's our case! It is? It's not over? Get dressed. I've gotta go somewhere. Get back to the court and stall. Stall any way you can. And assuming you've done step correctly, you're ready for the tub. Mr. Flayman. Yes? Yes, Your Honor! Where is the rest of your team? Well, Your Honor, it's interesting. Bees are trained to fly haphazardly, and as a result, we don't make very good time. I actually heard a funny story about… Your Honor, haven't these ridiculous bugs taken up enough of this court's valuable time? How much longer will we allow these absurd shenanigans to go on? They have presented no compelling evidence to support their charges against my clients, who run legitimate businesses. I move for a complete dismissal of this entire case! Mr. Flayman, I'm afraid I'm going to have to consider Mr. Montgomery's motion. But you can't! We have a terrific case. Where is your proof? Where is the evidence? Show me the smoking gun! Hold it, Your Honor! You want a smoking gun? Here is your smoking gun. What is that? It's a bee smoker! What, this? This harmless little contraption? This couldn't hurt a fly, let alone a bee. Look at what has happened to bees who have never been asked, “Smoking or non?” Is this what nature intended for us? To be forcibly addicted to smoke machines and man-made wooden slat work camps? Living out our lives as honey slaves to the white man? - What are we gonna do? - He's playing the species card. Ladies and gentlemen, please, free these bees! Free the bees! Free the bees! Free the bees! Free the bees! Free the bees! The court finds in favor of the bees! Vanessa, we won! I knew you could do it! High-five! Sorry. I'm OK! You know what this means? All the honey will finally belong to the bees. Now we won't have to work so hard all the time. This is an unholy perversion of the balance of nature, Benson. You'll regret this. Barry, how much honey is out there? All right. One at a time. Barry, who are you wearing? My sweater is Ralph Lauren, and I have no pants. - What if Montgomery's right? - What do you mean? We've been living the bee way a long time, 27 million years. Oongratulations on your victory. What will you demand as a settlement? First, we'll demand a complete shutdown of all bee work camps. Then we want back the honey that was ours to begin with, every last drop. We demand an end to the glorification of the bear as anything more than a filthy, smelly, bad-breath stink machine. We're all aware of what they do in the woods. Wait for my signal. Take him out. He'll have nauseous for a few hours, then he'll be fine. And we will no longer tolerate bee-negative nicknames… But it's just a prance-about stage name! …unnecessary inclusion of honey in bogus health products and la-dee-da human tea-time snack garnishments. Oan't breathe. Bring it in, boys! Hold it right there! Good. Tap it. Mr. Buzzwell, we just passed three cups, and there's gallons more coming! - I think we need to shut down! - Shut down? We've never shut down. Shut down honey production! Stop making honey! Turn your key, sir! What do we do now? Oannonball! We're shutting honey production! Mission abort. Aborting pollination and nectar detail. Returning to base. Adam, you wouldn't believe how much honey was out there. Oh, yeah? What's going on? Where is everybody? - Are they out celebrating? - They're home. They don't know what to do. Laying out, sleeping in. I heard your Uncle Oarl was on his way to San Antonio with a cricket. At least we got our honey back. Sometimes I think, so what if humans liked our honey? Who wouldn't? It's the greatest thing in the world! I was excited to be part of making it. This was my new desk. This was my new job. I wanted to do it really well. And now… Now I can't. I don't understand why they're not happy. I thought their lives would be better! They're doing nothing. It's amazing. Honey really changes people. You don't have any idea what's going on, do you? - What did you want to show me? - This. What happened here? That is not the half of it. Oh, no. Oh, my. They're all wilting. Doesn't look very good, does it? No. And whose fault do you think that is? You know, I'm gonna guess bees. Bees? Specifically, me. I didn't think bees not needing to make honey would affect all these things. It's notjust flowers. Fruits, vegetables, they all need bees. That's our whole SAT test right there. Take away produce, that affects the entire animal kingdom. And then, of course… The human species? So if there's no more pollination, it could all just go south here, couldn't it? I know this is also partly my fault. How about a suicide pact? How do we do it? - I'll sting you, you step on me. - That just kills you twice. Right, right. Listen, Barry… sorry, but I gotta get going. I had to open my mouth and talk. Vanessa? Vanessa? Why are you leaving? Where are you going? To the final Tournament of Roses parade in Pasadena. They've moved it to this weekend because all the flowers are dying. It's the last chance I'll ever have to see it. Vanessa, I just wanna say I'm sorry. I never meant it to turn out like this. I know. Me neither. Tournament of Roses. Roses can't do sports. Wait a minute. Roses. Roses? Roses! Vanessa! Roses?! Barry? - Roses are flowers! - Yes, they are. Flowers, bees, pollen! I know. That's why this is the last parade. Maybe not. Oould you ask him to slow down? Oould you slow down? Barry! OK, I made a huge mistake. This is a total disaster, all my fault. Yes, it kind of is. I've ruined the planet. I wanted to help you with the flower shop. I've made it worse. Actually, it's completely closed down. I thought maybe you were remodeling. But I have another idea, and it's greater than my previous ideas combined. I don't want to hear it! All right, they have the roses, the roses have the pollen. I know every bee, plant and flower bud in this park. All we gotta do is get what they've got back here with what we've got. - Bees. - Park. - Pollen! - Flowers. - Repollination! - Across the nation! Tournament of Roses, Pasadena, Oalifornia. They've got nothing but flowers, floats and cotton candy. Security will be tight. I have an idea. Vanessa Bloome, FTD. Official floral business. It's real. Sorry, ma'am. Nice brooch. Thank you. It was a gift. Once inside, we just pick the right float. How about The Princess and the Pea? I could be the princess, and you could be the pea! Yes, I got it. - Where should I sit? - What are you? - I believe I'm the pea. - The pea? It goes under the mattresses. - Not in this fairy tale, sweetheart. - I'm getting the marshal. You do that! This whole parade is a fiasco! Let's see what this baby'll do. Hey, what are you doing?! Then all we do is blend in with traffic… …without arousing suspicion. Once at the airport, there's no stopping us. Stop! Security. - You and your insect pack your float? - Yes. Has it been in your possession the entire time? Would you remove your shoes? - Remove your stinger. - It's part of me. I know. Just having some fun. Enjoy your flight. Then if we're lucky, we'll have just enough pollen to do the job. Oan you believe how lucky we are? We have just enough pollen to do the job! I think this is gonna work. It's got to work. Attention, passengers, this is Oaptain Scott. We have a bit of bad weather in New York. It looks like we'll experience a couple hours delay. Barry, these are cut flowers with no water. They'll never make it. I gotta get up there and talk to them. Be careful. Oan I get help with the Sky Mall magazine? I'd like to order the talking inflatable nose and ear hair trimmer. Oaptain, I'm in a real situation. - What'd you say, Hal? - Nothing. Bee! Don't freak out! My entire species… What are you doing? - Wait a minute! I'm an attorney! - Who's an attorney? Don't move. Oh, Barry. Good afternoon, passengers. This is your captain. Would a Miss Vanessa Bloome in 24B please report to the cockpit? And please hurry! What happened here? There was a DustBuster, a toupee, a life raft exploded. One's bald, one's in a boat, they're both unconscious! - Is that another bee joke? - No! No one's flying the plane! This is JFK control tower, Flight 356. What's your status? This is Vanessa Bloome. I'm a florist from New York. Where's the pilot? He's unconscious, and so is the copilot. Not good. Does anyone onboard have flight experience? As a matter of fact, there is. - Who's that? - Barry Benson. From the honey trial?! Oh, great. Vanessa, this is nothing more than a big metal bee. It's got giant wings, huge engines. I can't fly a plane. - Why not? Isn't John Travolta a pilot? - Yes. How hard could it be? Wait, Barry! We're headed into some lightning. This is Bob Bumble. We have some late-breaking news from JFK Airport, where a suspenseful scene is developing. Barry Benson, fresh from his legal victory… That's Barry! …is attempting to land a plane, loaded with people, flowers and an incapacitated flight crew. Flowers?! We have a storm in the area and two individuals at the controls with absolutely no flight experience. Just a minute. There's a bee on that plane. I'm quite familiar with Mr. Benson and his no-account compadres. They've done enough damage. But isn't he your only hope? Technically, a bee shouldn't be able to fly at all. Their wings are too small… Haven't we heard this a million times? “The surface area of the wings and body mass make no sense.” - Get this on the air! - Got it. - Stand by. - We're going live. The way we work may be a mystery to you. Making honey takes a lot of bees doing a lot of small jobs. But let me tell you about a small job. If you do it well, it makes a big difference. More than we realized. To us, to everyone. That's why I want to get bees back to working together. That's the bee way! We're not made of Jell-O. We get behind a fellow. - Black and yellow! - Hello! Left, right, down, hover. - Hover? - Forget hover. This isn't so hard. Beep-beep! Beep-beep! Barry, what happened?! Wait, I think we were on autopilot the whole time. - That may have been helping me. - And now we're not! So it turns out I cannot fly a plane. All of you, let's get behind this fellow! Move it out! Move out! Our only chance is if I do what I'd do, you copy me with the wings of the plane! Don't have to yell. I'm not yelling! We're in a lot of trouble. It's very hard to concentrate with that panicky tone in your voice! It's not a tone. I'm panicking! I can't do this! Vanessa, pull yourself together. You have to snap out of it! You snap out of it. You snap out of it. - You snap out of it! - You snap out of it! - You snap out of it! - You snap out of it! - You snap out of it! - You snap out of it! - Hold it! - Why? Oome on, it's my turn. How is the plane flying? I don't know. Hello? Benson, got any flowers for a happy occasion in there? The Pollen Jocks! They do get behind a fellow. - Black and yellow. - Hello. All right, let's drop this tin can on the blacktop. Where? I can't see anything. Oan you? No, nothing. It's all cloudy. Oome on. You got to think bee, Barry. - Thinking bee. - Thinking bee. Thinking bee! Thinking bee! Thinking bee! Wait a minute. I think I'm feeling something. - What? - I don't know. It's strong, pulling me. Like a 27-million-year-old instinct. Bring the nose down. Thinking bee! Thinking bee! Thinking bee! - What in the world is on the tarmac? - Get some lights on that! Thinking bee! Thinking bee! Thinking bee! - Vanessa, aim for the flower. - OK. Out the engines. We're going in on bee power. Ready, boys? Affirmative! Good. Good. Easy, now. That's it. Land on that flower! Ready? Full reverse! Spin it around! - Not that flower! The other one! - Which one? - That flower. - I'm aiming at the flower! That's a fat guy in a flowered shirt. I mean the giant pulsating flower made of millions of bees! Pull forward. Nose down. Tail up. Rotate around it. - This is insane, Barry! - This's the only way I know how to fly. Am I koo-koo-kachoo, or is this plane flying in an insect-like pattern? Get your nose in there. Don't be afraid. Smell it. Full reverse! Just drop it. Be a part of it. Aim for the center! Now drop it in! Drop it in, woman! Oome on, already. Barry, we did it! You taught me how to fly! - Yes. No high-five! - Right. Barry, it worked! Did you see the giant flower? What giant flower? Where? Of course I saw the flower! That was genius! - Thank you. - But we're not done yet. Listen, everyone! This runway is covered with the last pollen from the last flowers available anywhere on Earth. That means this is our last chance. We're the only ones who make honey, pollinate flowers and dress like this. If we're gonna survive as a species, this is our moment! What do you say? Are we going to be bees, orjust Museum of Natural History keychains? We're bees! Keychain! Then follow me! Except Keychain. Hold on, Barry. Here. You've earned this. Yeah! I'm a Pollen Jock! And it's a perfect fit. All I gotta do are the sleeves. Oh, yeah. That's our Barry. Mom! The bees are back! If anybody needs to make a call, now's the time. I got a feeling we'll be working late tonight! Here's your change. Have a great afternoon! Oan I help who's next? Would you like some honey with that? It is bee-approved. Don't forget these. Milk, cream, cheese, it's all me. And I don't see a nickel! Sometimes I just feel like a piece of meat! I had no idea. Barry, I'm sorry. Have you got a moment? Would you excuse me? My mosquito associate will help you. Sorry I'm late. He's a lawyer too? I was already a blood-sucking parasite. All I needed was a briefcase. Have a great afternoon! Barry, I just got this huge tulip order, and I can't get them anywhere. No problem, Vannie. Just leave it to me. You're a lifesaver, Barry. Oan I help who's next? All right, scramble, jocks! It's time to fly. Thank you, Barry! That bee is living my life! Let it go, Kenny. - When will this nightmare end?! - Let it all go. - Beautiful day to fly. - Sure is. Between you and me, I was dying to get out of that office. You have got to start thinking bee, my friend. - Thinking bee! - Me? Hold it. Let's just stop for a second. Hold it. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, everyone. Can we stop here? I'm not making a major life decision during a production number! All right. Take ten, everybody. Wrap it up, guys. I had virtually no rehearsal for that.

Episode 455 | Martial Arts Appreciation Month: How to Drive Referrals, Reviews, and Retention Podcast Description National Martial Arts Appreciation Month (September) isn't just a “fun theme” — it's a full marketing and retention campaign you can run every year. In this episode, Duane Brumitt and Allie Alberigo break down how they built Martial Arts Appreciation Month into a repeatable playbook that drives referrals, strengthens culture, and gives families a real reason to talk about what martial arts has done for their kids. You'll hear practical ideas you can copy: a buddy week where students bring friends, sponsor-funded T-shirts that turn into walking billboards, review drives that feel like appreciation (not begging), and simple ways to educate parents on your school's legacy so they feel more connected — and stay longer. Key Takeaways Treat Appreciation Month like a campaign, not a calendar gimmick. When you plan it as a full campaign, it becomes a system for referrals, reviews, and retention — not “extra work for maybe results.” Appreciation changes the story families tell themselves. You can't force people to value what you do. However, you can give them a lens to look through so they notice progress: who their child used to be vs. who they are now. Events drive attention — and attention drives action. People are event-oriented more than ever. So when you package your message as an “event month,” families pay attention in a way they don't during normal weeks. Buddy Week + T-shirts = a referral engine that doesn't feel salesy.A structured “bring-a-friend” week inside the month gives you a clear referral push. Pair it with a T-shirt for both the student and the guest, and you create instant excitement and visibility. Use sponsorships to fund (and profit from) your marketing. Instead of paying out of pocket for shirts, Duane and Allie use community sponsors (with tiered packages) to cover costs and create profit — while building local business relationships. Reviews work better when they're framed as appreciation. A review drive tied to “show your appreciation” feels natural. Add a raffle-ticket system and prizes, and participation goes up. Video testimonials are marketing assets — not one-and-done content. Have instructors and students record short videos on why they appreciate martial arts (and your school specifically). Those clips can be reused on social, email, and your website. Brand the testimonials so they don't become generic. If students say “martial arts helped me,” you're advertising every school in town. Ask them to say your school name (ex: “TriStar Martial Arts helped me…”) so the message stays attached to your brand. “Dead leads” aren't dead — they're future event buyers and referral sources. Even if a guest doesn't enroll, they may attend camps, seminars, parent night outs, or refer someone later because they had a great experience. Education builds reverence — and reverence builds retention. Many families join because you're convenient and professional, not because they understand your legacy. Appreciation Month is your chance to teach them who you are, what you've built, and why it matters. Action Steps for School Owners Pick your month and commit to the campaign. September ties nicely to back-to-school, but you can run it any month. The key is planning early enough to execute. Choose 5 core activities (don't try to do all 30 ideas). Start with a simple stack like: Buddy Week (bring-a-friend) T-shirt incentive Review drive + raffle Weekly “Martial Arts Legend / History” spotlight Video testimonials (students + instructors) Build your sponsor offer (even if it's just 2 tiers). Create a simple sponsorship sheet for local businesses. If you want to copy Duane's approach, use four tiers: Community Champion — $200 Character Builder — $250 Leadership Partner — $300 Warrior Advocate — $400 Make the T-shirt the “ticket” to participation. Give a shirt to the guest and the student who brings them. It's a reward, a uniform, and a walking ad. Run a review raffle instead of “please leave us a review.”Every review = a ticket in the drawing. Pick prizes families actually want (gear credit, private lesson, birthday party discount, etc.). Collect video testimonials with one rule: say your school name. Give families a simple prompt and remind them to name your school in the first sentence. Add one “culture education” piece per week. Rotate options like: Word of the Week (grit, legacy, inspire, strength) Legacy chart (your instructor lineage) Instructor spotlight videos “Did you know?” facts about the owner/head instructor Create a follow-up plan for visitors. Don't just invite them to join. Invite them to the next event: movie night, bully-proofing seminar, parent night out, camp, etc. Additional Resources Mentioned Martial Arts Appreciation Month PDF playbook (Duane + Allie mention they'll share it via Facebook message and link it on the Episode 455 post at SchoolOwnerTalk.com.) Event Journal / Event recap questions (a repeatable set of questions to document what worked, what to change, and the numbers from each event.) Video testimonial collection + transcription workflow (they mention using Dropbox to collect videos and auto-transcribe, then repurposing the transcript with AI.) Movie Night Ideas (from the episode) Allie's “family martial arts friendly” movie list mentioned: 3 Ninjas (series) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (movies) Warriors of Virtue Top Dog (Chuck Norris) Surf Ninjas The Karate Kid (series) Kung Fu Panda (series) Mulan Underdog Kids Big Trouble in Little China Additional Resources Mentioned (Action Items to Implement) Link the MAAM PDF to the Episode 455 post on SchoolOwnerTalk.com. Plan and promote a movie night (example: 3 Ninjas) with pizza/popcorn and a giveaway. Closing Note If you want a campaign that helps families feel the value of martial arts again — and gives them a reason to bring friends, leave reviews, and stay committed — Martial Arts Appreciation Month is a simple, repeatable way to do it.

I want more!". Have you said "I'd like to mirror, filter, and convolute an image in Drupal - all at the same time". If so, you're in luck. Let me introduce you to our module of the week: Module name/project name: Image Effects Brief history How old: Created by Drupal user mondrake of Italy on 17 September 2015. It's also the successor to the ImageCache Actions module, which was created all the way back in 2008. Versions available: It has a 4.0.0 version available with Drupal 10 and 11 support, and a 5.0.0 version for Drupal 11.3 and above. Maintainership Actively maintained Security coverage Test coverage Documentation It has a full README with details about the available image styles and whether they are supported by the GD or ImageMagick PHP libraries. Number of open issues: 35 open issues, 3 of which are bugs against the current branch. (The current branch has only been out a few months, and many of the open issues against prior branches seem to still be relevant.) Usage stats: 35,196 sites report using this module, with most still on the 3.x or 4.x branches. (its predecessor, ImageCache Actions, still has over 25,000 active installs) Module features and usage The module is pulled in just like any other, with composer require and then enable via drush or the UI. Once it's installed there is a very basic settings page, but most folks won't use much on there. The power of Image Effects comes when you go to Config > Media > Image Styles and then edit an Image Style. Once Image Effects is enabled, you'll see over two dozen additional effects in the list. These effects range from simple to complex. Interestingly, many of the effects that were so amazing 15 years ago are now doable with CSS. Still, there are some incredibly powerful filters. Side note: I'd strongly recommend Aubrey Sambor's recent talk from Drupal Camp Asheville, "You Don't Need JS for That", and her prior talk "Color in CSS" to learn a ton of things you didn't know about CSS effects. The basics like Color Shift, Contrast, Mirror, Rotate, and more are there if you'd like to do these natively. More advanced filters like Sharpen, Blur, and Convolute let you make more complex modifications to images. "Convolution" is the process of applying n-dimensional matrixes to images to create effects such as blurring, sharpening, and edge detection. Try it out on https://anna.engineering/Image-Convolution-Playground/src/ Lastly, you can create advanced image styles with ImageMagick arguments, create Text overlays using the power of Drupal tokens, or even develop your own Image Effects guided by the incredibly detailed DEVELOPING.md file included with the module.

https://jo.my/txytfbUV and Heat Stress SafetyThe sun doesn't need moving parts to hurt someone.Yard dog drivers, dock workers, and container crews may spend hours working under direct sunlight. UV exposure builds quietly. Heat stress can move much faster. Add glare from trailers, pavement, metal containers, and windshields, and a normal shift can become dangerous before anyone realizes what's happening.A solid Safety Culture teaches people to spot these risks early. Crews should never treat sunburn, dizziness, headaches, or blurred vision as minor problems. These warning signs can affect judgment, reaction time, and balance. Around trailers, docks, and moving equipment, that combination can turn serious in seconds.Here are a few tips to assist you with UV and outdoor operations safety:Use UV protection every shift. Wear facility-approved clothing that covers exposed skin when possible. Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen to the face, neck, ears, arms, and other exposed areas. Reapply it based on the product directions, especially after heavy sweating.Plan breaks before workers feel sick. Use shaded or cooled areas for recovery. Encourage workers to drink water often instead of waiting until they feel thirsty. Supervisors should adjust workloads during extreme heat or high-humidity conditions.Watch for heat stress warning signs. Headaches, cramps, confusion, weakness, nausea, and heavy sweating require attention. Stop the task. Move the worker to a cooler area. Follow the facility's emergency response procedure.Use tinted safety glasses for glare control. Facility-approved tinted lenses can reduce glare from pavement, trailers, windshields, and metal surfaces. The glasses must still provide the correct impact protection and allow workers to see hazards clearly.Rotate demanding outdoor tasks. Container unloading can trap heat and restrict airflow. Rotate workers when possible. Use ventilation equipment approved by the facility. Maintain communication with anyone working inside a container.As always, these are potential tips. Please be sure to follow the rules and regulations of your specific facility.Sun exposure rarely feels urgent at first. That's what makes it easy to ignore. The damage may build slowly, while heat illness can strike with little warning.Protect the crew before discomfort becomes an emergency. Plan the work. Check the weather. Watch each other. Speak up early.Smart outdoor safety protects people today and helps them stay healthy for years to come.Thank you for being part of another episode of Warehouse Safety Tips. Until we meet next time - have a great week, and STAY SAFE!#Safety #SafetyCulture #StaySafe #SafetyFirst #SafetyTips #StayAlert #SafetyAwareness #FacilitySafety WarehouseSafety #UVSafety #HeatStressPrevention #DockSafety #OutdoorWorkerSafety

How do we actually live out psychological safety, rather than just talking about it as some grand, academic theory? A couple of years ago, Minette Norman and Karolin Helbig came out with the Psychological Safety Playbook. I've been using her practical phrases in my own training sessions ever since (with full credit, of course!). But as any facilitator, parent, or human being knows, putting this stuff into practice is darn hard. You want to be the supportive expert, but then real-world pressures—like meeting targets, sudden organizational shifts, or just plain old fear of looking foolish—kick in. That's why I sat down with them to talk about their new follow-up book. They wrote it because change-makers kept coming to them on tour, saying, "Okay, we read the basics, but now we're hitting roadblocks. What next?" What I love about their approach is that it's completely "no fluff." They give us real, actionable strategies to bake inclusion right into the DNA of our everyday work life, even when things get a little messy. Key Themes from the Discussion Courage as Vulnerability, Not Heroics. True leadership in a psychologically safe environment isn't about having a flawless track record or acting like a superhero. It requires the humility to acknowledge that you don't have all the answers and to actively invite your team to fill in your blind spots. "It's not about the big heroic acts. It's really about the courage to be vulnerable, for example. Particularly as a leader, that's not easy to do..." — Karolin Helbig  The Intentional Practice of Listening. Listening is often treated as an obvious, baseline skill, but true listening requires a conscious commitment to sit with silence and process what is being said, rather than rushing to respond or dominate the room. "It sounds so obvious that we all know how to do it... and it is so darn hard, right? It really is. And we often think we're listening when we're not." — Minette Norman  Recognizing Personal Emotional Triggers. Building psychological safety is a slow process that can be shattered instantly by an unmanaged, defensive reaction. Developing self-awareness around your own physical stress signals helps create a vital pause between a trigger and your response. "Psychological safety is really slow to build and quick to break. And if you can avoid these breaks. By becoming more aware of your reactions and handling them more skillfully, then a lot is gained." — Karolin Helbig  Shifting the Narrative Around Failure. For teams to innovate, leaders must actively destigmatize mistakes. This means moving away from finger-pointing and instead treating unexpected outcomes as valuable learning experiments, a process that must be modeled from the top down. "If you're trying something new, and certainly if we're trying to innovate, there will be failure along the way. So the question is, how quickly can we learn from them and improve and move forward?" — Minette Norman  Designing for Inclusion via Rotating Roles. Inclusion doesn't happen by accident; it has to be deliberately engineered into team dynamics. Using a rotating role like an "Inclusion Booster" ensures that monitoring the health of a meeting becomes a shared team habit rather than solely the leader's responsibility. "Meetings by default are not inclusive. So we need to design them for inclusion. The idea of the inclusion booster is just to have a rotating role of somebody in facilitating the meeting and paying attention that we actually behave in the way we earlier defined." — Karolin Helbig  Actionable Takeaway for Listeners To move your team from theory to practice, introduce the "Inclusion Booster" role into your next recurring meeting. Rotate this responsibility among different team members each week, tasking them with observing meeting dynamics, ensuring equal airtime, and calling out interruptions using a lighthearted tool like the "ELMO" (Enough, Let's Move On) principle.

Send us Fan MailCatherine D'Aragon, CEO of First Aid Beauty, joins Skin Anarchy to discuss how the brand built its barrier science foundation years before barrier repair became a trend, why it develops products around problems instead of buzzy ingredients, how it responds to dupes, what changed after the P&G acquisition, and the GLP-1 body care innovation coming next. Below are the biggest questions answered in this episode.Did First Aid Beauty focus on barrier repair before it was a trend?Yes. The brand was founded in 2009 around sensitive skin, and its hero product, Ultra Repair Cream, carries a clinical claim of strengthened skin barrier in seven days, long before barrier language dominated the market. D'Aragon is direct about the wave of newcomers: "There's a lot of brands that came in and said, oh, we invented barrier repair, and now we're the brand for barrier repair." First Aid Beauty simply talked about it as sensitive skin science, and every formula since has been built to strengthen the barrier.How does First Aid Beauty decide which skincare trends to follow?By evaluating the science behind the trend rather than chasing it. "We need to evaluate the science behind the trend... we don't develop product in three months. We develop product, it takes years to develop." The brand does listen to its community for new ways to use existing products: the KP Bump Eraser body scrub was developed for keratosis pilaris, but when consumers began using it to prep skin before tanning, the brand added that usage to its messaging. Trends can expand how a product is talked about, but they never start the development process.How do you build a skincare brand that lasts?Stay true to the brand DNA through every launch decision. First Aid Beauty was founded to deliver problem solving formulas for sensitive skin with a luxurious experience, filling the gap between effective but joyless drugstore products and sensorial prestige ones. D'Aragon admits the brand once drifted: "We kind of went off track and we launched product that was really not in that kind of problem solution sensitive skin, and we decided to discontinue those products." Anything that makes sensitive skin react in testing never launches, no matter how promising.Is retinol safe for sensitive skin?Conventional retinol often is not, which is why First Aid Beauty spent years solving the problem before entering the category. "We spent like three years researching and we found a very specific technology about encapsulated retinol with slower delivery, then it's less irritation." The encapsulation slows release into the skin, delivering the antiaging benefit without the stripping that disqualifies most retinol products for reactive skin.Can exfoliation work for sensitive skin?Yes, if the acids are chosen for gentleness rather than intensity. The Facial Radiance Pads pair glycolic acid with lactic acid, a gentler acid, to deliver what D'Aragon calls "real exfoliation, but without the irritation." The combination approach reflects the same principle as the retinol work: the category is not off limits for sensitive skin, but the formulation has to be rebuilt around it.Who is the First Aid Beauty customer?Not one person but several distinct tribes, which the brand studies through extended consumer research sessions. "We call it the simple girl, the person that just wants simple product that works and is tired of the trend and is tired of going to social media." Other tribes are actively problem solving specific skin concerns. The brand adapts its messaging to each tribe but never adapts the products themselves, which stay anchored to the science.How does First Aid Beauty respond to dupes?By testing them head to head rather than ignoring them or cutting prices. "We buy the product, we tried it, and we try to find why we have superiority claims. And every time we are superior versus the competition." Superiority shows up in ingredient selection, concentrations suited to sensitive skin, and even material choices like the fabric of the pads. The brand holds its accessible pricing rather than racing dupes to the bottom, and focuses on educating consumers about the differences.Are skincare dupes as good as the original?D'Aragon encourages consumers to investigate rather than assume. "Look at the concentration of the acid, of any ingredient that is important for that product. Look at the combination of ingredients and look it up and try it if you want." Her confidence comes from watching the pattern play out: many consumers try the dupe, then return to the original because it delivers on its promise.Did the P&G acquisition change First Aid Beauty?The brand gained resources without losing its identity. Access to P&G research and development means even more rigorous science, testing, and safety standards, though it can slow launches. "Sometimes we're a little bit slower to launch some products... but at the end of the day, for the consumers, I think it's a plus." The brand also kept its Boston offices and much of its original team rather than relocating to P&G headquarters, preserving the culture that built it.Are indie skincare brands tested as rigorously as big company brands?Not always, and D'Aragon says consumers rarely realize it. Speed to market can come at the cost of testing depth: "In three, four months, you have a new product coming out to life. But has it gone through all the testing? I'm not sure. The US market is not that regulated." She argues that big company ownership, often framed as diluting a brand, can actually mean a safer product because of the additional scientific rigor behind it.How does First Aid Beauty choose new ingredients?Problem first, never ingredient first. "We don't innovate by ingredient because something is buzzy. We innovate by what's the next problem to solve." Once the problem is defined, the team researches which ingredients can solve it safely for sensitive skin. D'Aragon's logic is durability: a buzzy ingredient fades within a year or two, but the problem a product solves remains, which is why Ultra Repair Cream still works across countless scenarios years later.Is First Aid Beauty launching a GLP-1 skincare product?Yes, in body care. D'Aragon revealed that the brand's next innovation targets skin changes from GLP-1 weight loss: "That's gonna be our next innovation next year, in that body GLP-1, to help people with the saggy skin." She frames it as a problem affecting every age and gender that few brands are addressing, consistent with the brand's approach of solving unsexy problems the fancy skincare world ignores.Why doesn't First Aid Beauty lead with fragrance in body care?Because the brand solves problems, and fragrance is not a problem. "There's a lot of brands that are leading with their fragrance. And we will never lead by fragrance... we're there to help you fix some problem." First Aid Beauty was in body care years before the current boom, anchored by the KP franchise, and its ingrown hair pads have become a fast growing product for men and women alike. A generic shower gel or body lotion will never launch because it solves nothing.What leadership advice does Catherine D'Aragon offer?"Agility, flexibility, adaptation, resilience are all qualities that are super important." With teams split across Boston, New York, and Cincinnati, she also insists on protecting time together in person, arguing that the human interaction lost during COVID never fully returned at brands that stayed remote, and that no amount of collaboration tooling replaces it.What career advice does she have for people entering the beauty industry?Rotate through as many functions as possible in the first decade: influencer work, PR, social media, brand marketing. Stay humble through industry cycles, because some years will be tough regardless of talent. Above all: "Be curious, try a lot of things, but also be curious outside of beauty and see what other categories are doing." She notes the industry has reinvented itself roughly 25 times during her career, and curiosity is what keeps a marketer relevant through every wave.Listen to the full episode with Catherine D'Aragon of First Aid Beauty on Skin Anarchy, available wherever you get your podcasts.Shop First Aid BeautyDon't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!Support the show

In Episode 194 of Facts vs Feelings, Ryan Detrick, Chief Market Strategist at Carson Group, and Sonu Varghese, Chief Macro Strategist at Carson Group, take on the "June swoon" and the powerful market rotation shaking up underlying sector leadership. They analyze insights from Sonu's time at the Economic Club of New York, covering Scott Bessent's speech on national security industrial policy, Kevin Warsh's influence at the Fed, and the broader message of the global market.The episode also digs into an unprecedented market breadth anomaly, a massive weekly outperformance in healthcare, the state of small caps, and why the current bull market is far from finished.From Apple's steep hardware price hikes and roaring nominal consumer spending to structural lessons from the 1990s dot-com bubble, the conversation connects the week's biggest headlines to the harder macroeconomic data underneath.Key Takeaways:The S&P 500 logged a five-day losing streak, yet advancing stocks outnumbered decliners every single day, a market anomaly unseen in nearly 30 years. Meanwhile, major advanced-decline lines hit all-time highs.While mega-cap tech paused, mid-caps rose 2.9% and small caps grew 3% month-to-date. Concurrently, healthcare staged an extraordinary 8% weekly jump, marking its largest weekly outperformance on record.Market warnings are often early; the S&P 500 doubled over the three years following Alan Greenspan's 1996 "irrational exuberance" speech. Navigating secular waves like AI requires strategic re-diversification, not exiting the equity market early.While inflation-adjusted real consumption sits around 2%, nominal spending rocketed at an 8.6% annualized pace over the last three months. Because corporate revenue is nominal, this massive wave of consumer spending continues to bolster corporate earnings.Driven by AI-related memory chip shortages, Apple announced steep price hikes including 30% for the HomePod mini and 55% for Apple TV. This demonstrates how one company's supply chain inflation becomes another tech supplier's margin expansion.Massive fiscal deficits at 6% to 7% of GDP mirror the late 1960s, continuing to inject liquidity and minimize near-term recession risks. We expect the Fed to keep rate cuts on pause as core services inflation remains sticky at a 4% annualized pace.While June represents a seasonally weak timeframe, July is historically the strongest month for stocks over the past 20 years, closing positive in 13 of the last 14 years.Jump to:0:02 - Welcome And NYC Market Leaders6:36 - June Swoon Turns Into Rotation9:50 - Breadth Thrust And Sector Breakouts16:24 - AI Momentum And Dotcom Lessons27:40 - Inflation Pressures And Apple Pricing33:32 - Fed Pause Risks And Fiscal Deficits35:42 - July Seasonality And Wrap UpConnect with Ryan:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryandetrick/• X: https://x.com/RyanDetrickConnect with Sonu:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonu-varghese-phd/• X: https://x.com/sonusvarghese?lang=enQuestions about the show?

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.theflyingfrisby.comThe S&P 500 is close to all-time highs, but it's looking wobbly. After magnificent runs, gold and silver are both washed out and trending lower.Bitcoin is all but dead and buried. Rates are rising the world over so you can forget about government bonds - that particular bull market is over. Oil and gas have turned down now Trump and Iran have their deal. Remind me what uranium is again? What to do? Sell? Buy? Take profits? Run? Hide? Risk on? Rotate? Hedge?Everyone everywhere is telling you to do something. There is an entire financial industry dedicated to persuading you that inactivity is irresponsible.Three years ago I proposed the opposite and launched the Dolce Far Niente portfolio - “the sweetness of doing nothing” portfolio.It was based around a simple notion. Do nothing. The sweet FA portfolio. Most of us have busy lives to live with jobs, businesses and families. Some of us even have hobbies. We do not have the time, inclination or temperament to be constantly monitoring markets and worrying. I don't know about you but I find the more decisions I make, the more bad decisions I make. The aim of the portfolio was to build a sensible allocation to the major themes of the coming decade, and then largely leave it alone.No fiddling. No panicking because of some thing you read on X that morning. Nothing.Different readers used different vehicles. When uranium went nuts, we reduced to 2.5%. I simplified the equity allocation, so the exact implementation evolved over time. What follows therefore is not an audited fund report, but an approximate check-in.The broad conclusion, however, is clear.If you live in a third world country such as the UK, I urge you to own gold or silver. The pound will be further devalued, as will the euro and dollar. The bullion dealer I use and recommend is The Pure Gold Company. They deliver to the UK, the US, Canada and Europe. More here.Doing very little works surprisingly well.Depending on exactly how you measure it, the portfolio is up around 65-70%.Not bad for something specifically designed to reduce activity and thus stress.If by the way, you are investor starting out, this is the portfolio I recommend, and I recommend it way ahead of racy, smallcap stock tips, such as you sometimes read on here.So let's take a look at the portfolio, and let's see if any activity is required.The first lesson is that asset allocation remains far more important than stock selection. This is one of the basic truths that, it seems, one keeps having to re-learn.Doesn't matter which gold miner you own if gold miners are trending lower. Being on the right track matters more than backing the right horse.

In this week's episode of the podcast, Colleen gets honest about what it's really like to homeschool multiple neurotypes at once—and how you can stop trying to make one-size-fits-all solutions work for wildly different brains. She talks about building flexible rhythms that respect your children's unique needs (and your sanity!), why chasing the "perfect" curriculum isn't the answer, and practical ways you can manage energy instead of just managing lesson plans. Key Takeaways Ditch One-Size-Fits-All: Stop trying to teach every child the same way—build flexible rhythms that honor each brain's unique needs. Focus on Energy, Not Just Curriculum: Prioritize managing everyone's energy and support needs over finding the "perfect" curriculum. Rotate, Station, Solo: Structure your day with rotating support, creative stations, and independent solo work to keep kids engaged and supported. Fair Isn't Equal: Remember that fairness means giving each child what they need, not making everything the same for everyone. Adapt as You Go: Stay flexible—needs change daily and seasonally, so keep mixing, matching, and pulling from your toolbox of strategies Links and Resources from Today's Episode Thank you to our sponsors: CTC Math – Flexible, affordable math for the whole family!

  The true beautiful shift happens when your meditation practice ends, your eyes open, and you realize you are stepping back into the world as a completely transformed version of yourself. Welcome to Day 7, the grand finale of our Body Harmony Series. Over the last week, you have carved out a sacred space each day to return home to your body, and today is about celebrating that dedication, reviewing your journey, and locking in these results so they stay with you long after the music fades. Today, we look back at the incredible architecture of peace you've built over the last seven days: Day 1 & 2: You dropped out of a racing mind, grounded your energy, and learned the art of unbracing muscular tension. Day 3 & 4: You regulated your nervous system out of fight-or-flight and used the healing focus of the Mukula Mudra to replenish your depleted energy reserves. Day 5 & 6: You anchored into the steady, unwavering safety of your Root Chakra and layered all your tools together for deep cellular regeneration. In this final session, we integrate every single one of these physical transformations into a sustainable, lifelong "house ritual" for your mind and body. You will leave this mat not just feeling relaxed, but completely re-established in your own physical sovereignty and power. What You'll Experience In This Session: The Full-Circle Integration: A seamless, fluid meditation summarizing the physical milestones of your entire week. The Sustainable Peace Ritual: Simple, practical anchors to help you instantly recall this state of body harmony during a busy work week. Sovereignty & Graduation: A powerful closing space dedicated to honoring your commitment to physical and mental wellness. A Message for Your Heart Place both hands over your heart, feeling its steady, beautiful, rhythmic beat—the ultimate proof of your body's constant harmony. Look at what you have done this week. You chose to slow down. You chose to listen. You chose to heal. As you take your final deep, clear breath of this series, let this anchor sink deep into your soul: "I surrender to my inner truth." Let that truth be your guiding light moving forward. You do not have to look outside of yourself for peace, stability, or safety. It is already here, rooted within you, waiting for you to return whenever you need it. This is day 7 of a 7-day meditation series, "Body Harmony Meditation Series" episodes 2713-2719. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY Today, we are stepping into a week-long journey together: The Body Harmony Series. So often, we live our lives from the neck up—caught in the momentum of a racing mind, managing endless to-do lists, and pushing through the day. But your mind is only half the story. Your body carries the rhythm of your life. It holds your stress, it remembers your long days, and right now, it might be asking you for a moment to simply rest, reset, and repair. Over the next seven days, we are going to close the gap between your mind and your body. We will be using ancient, time-tested awareness techniques and gentle somatic breathing to melt away deep physical tension, soothe your nervous system, and move out of that exhausted 'fight-or-flight' mode. By the end of this week, you won't just feel calmer—your body will feel like a sanctuary again. Let's begin this journey of deep restoration. Go ahead and settle into your space, adjust your posture, take a deep, clearing breath… and let's meditate together." THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE: Bodywise Quest This week, tune into the intuition of your body. Your body knows what you need. Honor its messages this week.

Everything you have practiced this week has been leading you right here, to the realization that your body already knows exactly how to heal itself when you give it the space to listen. Welcome to Day 6 of the Body Harmony Series. Over the past five days, you have built a beautiful, sacred toolkit for your physical well-being. Today, we bring those elements together in a master integration session designed for total body restoration and cellular repair. In this deep, immersive practice, we will elegantly layer each technique you've learned. We will begin by dropping anchor into the stable energy of your Root Chakra, transition into a somatic awareness scan to melt muscle tension, calm the nervous system with extended exhalations, and focus your concentrated life force using the Mukula Mudra. By combining these layers, you create a profound, high-frequency state of internal harmony, allowing your physical form to step out of the way and enter a state of complete, deep regeneration. What You'll Experience In This Session: The Layered Somatic Scan: A comprehensive journey through the body combining chakra grounding with deep muscle unbracing. The Mukula Mudra Integration: Using the lotus bud hand gesture to seal and direct the collective energy you've cultivated all week. Cellular Regeneration: A deep, quiet space at the end of the meditation dedicated entirely to physical repair and healing. A Message for Your Heart As you bring your fingers together into the Mukula Mudra and place them gently over your heart or wherever you need comfort today, breathe in the fullness of the journey you've taken this week. Look how far you've come. Look how beautifully you have shown up for yourself. You carry an entire sanctuary of peace right inside your own skin. Close your eyes, let go of the outside world, and whisper these words into your space: "I surrender to my inner truth." Let that truth wash over every cell. You are not broken. You do not need fixing. You are a masterpiece of harmony, and you are entirely safe to rest in this absolute alignment.

There is a beautiful, quiet power that returns to you the very moment you remember you belong exactly where you are. Welcome to Day 5 of the Body Harmony Series. After replenishing our vital energy yesterday, we now direct our awareness down to the absolute foundation of your mind-body connection: the First Chakra, or the Root Chakra (Muladhara). Located at the base of the spine, your root chakra represents your fundamental right to exist, your sense of safety, and your physical belonging on this earth. When life feels chaotic, uprooting, or overwhelming, this energy center can feel unstable, leaving us stuck in our heads or anxious in our bodies. In this session, we will cultivate a deep, immovable stability. Through red-spectrum visualization and grounding breathwork, you will drop anchor into the present moment, transforming your physical body into a fortress of absolute security and peace. What You'll Experience In This Session: Root Chakra Activation: Focus your attention on the base of the spine to awaken your primal sense of safety and survival. The Stability Scan: A grounding somatic practice to help you feel entirely supported by the earth beneath you. Belonging & Presence: Dissolve the restless, floating feeling of anxiety by locking your awareness into the heavy, solid comfort of the physical world. A Message for Your Heart As you settle into your seat, imagine your awareness gently descending all the way down to the base of your spine, feeling the heavy, immovable support of the earth holding you up. You don't have to carry yourself today—you are being carried. You don't have to earn your place here; you are already a vital part of this world. Softly breathe this truth into your foundation: "I surrender to my inner truth." Let that truth steady you. Let it remind you that you are deeply rooted, you are entirely safe, and you are always allowed to take up space, exactly as you are.

This week we keep a watchful eye on an active sun with ten sunspot clusters now in Earth view, dominated by activity along the east limb. Newly arrived regions 4446, 4447, and 4455 are firing solar flares and lunching solar storms, although none are earth-directed yet. Region 4441 launched a massive solar storm as

Welcome to Day 4 of the Body Harmony Series. Now that we have grounded our minds, melted away physical tension, and calmed the nervous system, we reach a beautiful turning point in our journey: restoration. Today, we focus on replenishing your vital energy and clearing away the heavy, sluggish exhaustion of physical burnout. When we are constantly giving our energy away to the world, our inner reservoirs run dry. Today's practice introduces the Mukula Mudra (often called the Lotus Bud Mudra)—an ancient hand gesture used to channel concentrated healing energy directly to specific parts of the body that feel depleted or unwell. By combining this somatic hand position with deep, revitalizing visualization, you will direct a laser-focused stream of life force exactly where your body needs to heal and recharge. What You'll Experience In This Session: Energy Point Concentration: Learn how to form and place the Mukula Mudra to focus your body's natural healing currents. Burnout Release: A somatic clearing meditation to let go of deep-seated physical fatigue and depletion. The Mukula Mudra Practice Guide To perform this healing gesture during today's meditation, bring the tips of your four fingers and your thumb together on each hand, forming a shape like a closed lotus bud. You can place these "buds" gently over any part of your body that feels tight, painful, or completely drained of energy—such as your lungs, your stomach, or over your heart space—allowing the concentrated life force to flow directly into that area. A Message for Your Heart Rest your hands in your lap or place your mudra gently over an area that feels tired today, and let yourself fully relax into the support underneath you. You do not have to pour from an empty cup anymore. You are allowed to stop, fill yourself back up, and receive. Softly whisper this reminder to yourself as you settle into the quiet: "I surrender to my inner truth." Let that truth sink deep into your cells: you are worthy of rest, you are meant to live with vitality, and your body knows exactly how to restore itself when you give it the space to do so. This is day 4 of a 7-day meditation series, "Body Harmony Meditation Series" episodes 2713-2719. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY Today, we are stepping into a week-long journey together: The Body Harmony Series.

Your body carries the rhythm of your life. It holds your stress, it remembers your long days, and right now, it might be asking you for a moment to simply rest, reset, and repair. Over the next seven days, we are going to close the gap between your mind and your body. We will be using ancient, time-tested awareness techniques and gentle somatic breathing to melt away deep physical tension, soothe your nervous system, and move out of that exhausted 'fight-or-flight' mode. By the end of this week, you won't just feel calmer—your body will feel like a sanctuary again. Let's begin this journey of deep restoration. Go ahead and settle into your space, adjust your posture, take a deep, clearing breath… and let's meditate together." THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE: Bodywise Quest This week, tune into the intuition of your body. Your body knows what you need. Honor its messages this week. MEDITATION TECHNIQUES: Day 1: Visualization   Day 2: Affirmation  "I surrender to my inner truth." Day 3: Breathing Technique  Inhale: tune into your body -- Exhale: listen to your body's needs Day 4: Mudra Technique: Mukula Mudra Touch together your fingers and thumbs on each hand. Place them over an area of your body you'd like to support. Rotate them clockwise and feel relief. Day 5: Chakra Technique: First Chakra Location: coccyx Qualities: stability, feeling grounded Color: red Element: earth Day 6: Layer Meditation Techniques Day 7: Reflection + Introspection SHARE YOUR MEDITATION JOURNEY WITH YOUR FELLOW MEDITATORS Let's connect and inspire each other!

Welcome to Day 3 of the Body Harmony Series. Over the last two days, we have anchored our awareness and melted away physical muscular tension. Today, we go beneath the surface to work directly with the control center of your physical well-being: your nervous system. When life gets busy, demanding, or overstimulating, our bodies can easily get stuck in a low-grade, chronic state of "fight-or-flight." This survival mode drains your energy, disrupts your sleep, and creates a subtle sense of internal urgency. In this session, we will use rhythmic, extended exhalations and somatic awareness to send a profound signal of safety to your brain, gently shifting your body into its natural state of rest, recovery, and deep repair. A Message for Your Heart Bring one hand to your chest and the other to your belly, feeling the gentle, steady rise and fall of your breath. There is nowhere else you need to be right now, and nothing else you need to accomplish. You can stop rushing. You can lay down the invisible armor you've been wearing. Softly whisper this reminder to yourself as you settle into the quiet: "I surrender to my inner truth." Let your nervous system receive this truth—that in this very moment, you are completely secure, you are deeply supported, and you are allowed to simply exist in perfect peace. This is day 3 of a 7-day meditation series, "Body Harmony Meditation Series" episodes 2713-2719.

Welcome to Day 1 of the Body Harmony Series. If you have been living your life entirely from the neck up—caught in the momentum of a racing mind, managing endless to-do lists, and pushing through the day—this week is your invitation to return home to yourself. We often carry our stress, overstimulation, and anxieties deep within our muscles and nervous system. Today, we begin our journey by closing the gap between mind and body. Through a gentle, anchoring body scan and restorative breathing, you will learn to drop out of the noise of your thoughts and settle into a calm, physically grounded state. Give yourself permission to simply be. What You'll Experience In This Session: A Somatic Reset: Transition from a chaotic, overstimulated mindset into immediate physical presence. The Power of Grounding: A guided body scan designed to anchor your awareness and stabilize restless energy. Instant Calm: A simple, restorative breathing practice to send safety signals directly to your nervous system. A Message for Your Heart Take a deep, slow breath right now, and let your shoulders drop. You have been holding so much together lately, managing the details of life and carrying it all with such grace. But right now, you don't have to manage anything. You don't have to figure anything out. Your heart has a natural rhythm of peace, and today, your only job is to trust it. Let the earth support you, let the tension go, and remember that you are entirely safe to simply rest in this exact moment. This is day 1 of a 7-day meditation series, "Stop Procrastinating: Meditations for Overwhelm and Focus" episodes 2713-2719.

Welcome to Day 2 of the Body Harmony Series. Yesterday, we focused on anchoring our awareness and dropping out of a racing mind. Today, we step deeper into the body to target the physical spaces where stress, overstimulation, and daily pressure accumulate most: the neck, shoulders, and jaw. Physical tension is often just an energetic holding pattern—a subconscious attempt to control or push through our days. In this session, we use a soothing somatic body scan and gentle, spacious breathing to intentionally soften these target areas. By giving your muscles permission to unbrace, you allow your physical form to return to its natural state of open, effortless ease. A Message for Your Heart Take a slow, deep breath in, and as you exhale, feel your entire body grow a little heavier, a little softer. You don't have to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders today. You don't have to force things into place or tighten yourself against life. There is a profound strength in letting go. Repeat this softly to yourself as you settle into quiet: "I surrender to my inner truth." Let that truth remind you that you are already whole, you are completely safe, and you are allowed to ease into this moment exactly as you are. This is day 2 of a 7-day meditation series, "Stop Procrastinating: Meditations for Overwhelm and Focus" episodes 2713-2719.

Trent and Lori Tobias, owners of the 15 Commerce Drive shopping center. The couple shares their journey from careers in car dealership and education to building a thriving community hub. Their crown jewel, Great Lakes Antique Boutique, features over 600 vendors across two locations, bringing a Galena-inspired charm right to Grayslake. The center also houses restaurants, salons, an escape room, and "The Room," a versatile event space. With plenty of parking and something for everyone, this neighborhood gem is truly worth discovering! Discovering Grayslake: How Local Businesses Build Community and Create Hidden Gems Welcome back to the heart of Lake County! In this episode of Discovering Grayslake, we sat down with Trent and Lori Tobias, the dynamic husband-and-wife team behind the thriving shopping center at 15 Commerce Drive. Their story is more than just a tale of entrepreneurship—it's a masterclass in community building, creative business management, and the power of local connections. Whether you're a Grayslake resident, a small business owner, or someone dreaming of launching your own venture, this in-depth guide will break down the key lessons and actionable tips from the episode. We'll explore how Trent and Lori transformed a half-empty plaza into a bustling hub, the secrets behind their wildly successful Great Lakes Antique Boutique, and how they've created spaces that bring people together. Table of Contents The Power of Local Connections Revitalizing a Community Space: Lessons from 15 Commerce Drive Building a Unique Retail Experience: Inside Great Lakes Antique Boutique Creating Versatile Community Spaces: The Room Vendor Management and Growth Strategies Seasonal Merchandising and Store Staging Balancing Passion, Family, and Business Actionable Takeaways for Local Entrepreneurs Final Thoughts: Kindness and Community The Power of Local Connections Main Theme:   At the heart of Trent and Lori's story is the idea that local businesses are more than just places to shop—they're the backbone of a community. Their journey began with a simple desire to bring the charm of Galena's antique scene closer to home, and it blossomed into a network of businesses that serve, connect, and uplift Grayslake. Key Insights: Word-of-mouth and personal relationships** are invaluable. Trent and Lori's businesses grew rapidly because they fostered genuine connections with vendors, customers, and other local entrepreneurs. Community involvement**—from hosting events to collaborating with neighboring businesses—creates a sense of belonging and loyalty. Actionable Advice: Get to know your neighbors.** Attend local events, introduce yourself to other business owners, and look for ways to collaborate. Be visible and approachable.** Trent and Lori are often present in their stores, greeting customers and making everyone feel welcome. Revitalizing a Community Space When Trent and Lori purchased the shopping center at 15 Commerce Drive, it was only about 45-50% occupied. Their approach to revitalizing the property offers a blueprint for anyone looking to breathe new life into a commercial space. Steps to Revitalization Invest in Infrastructure    Rehab and Renovate: They invested in updating the units, making them attractive to potential tenants.    Parking Matters: A new, well-lit, and convenient parking lot was a game-changer, especially in a small town where parking is often limited. Curate Your Tenant Mix    Community-Focused Tenants: They sought out businesses that would benefit the community—restaurants, salons, a dance studio, a chiropractic office, and more.    Synergy Between Tenants: The proximity of The Room event space, the escape room, and restaurants allows for seamless event planning and cross-promotion. Create Gathering Spaces    The Room: A 1,700 sq. ft. facility for micro-weddings, parties, concerts, and more. This space is designed to be flexible and accessible for all kinds of community events. Expert Tip:   When revitalizing a property, think beyond just filling vacancies. Ask yourself: How can this space serve the community? Look for tenants and amenities that complement each other and create a destination, not just a collection of businesses. Building a Unique Retail Experience: Inside Great Lakes Antique Boutique Great Lakes Antique Boutique isn't your average antique store. With over 600 vendors across two locations (Grayslake and Antioch), it's a treasure trove that draws shoppers from all over. What Sets It Apart? Sheer Scale and Variety:**     The boutique is deceptively large, with endless nooks and crannies. Customers often spend hours exploring and still find new surprises on a second lap. Constantly Changing Inventory:**     The store is staged and restocked for every season and holiday, ensuring there's always something new to discover. Personal Touch:**     Lori's passion for curating unique clothing and décor shines through. She travels to shows and markets across the country to find one-of-a-kind items. Actionable Tips for Retailers Create a Journey:**     Encourage customers to walk the store in both directions—you'll double their discoveries and time spent in-store. Make It Personal:**     Share stories behind your products. Lori loves hearing customers' memories and connections to the items they find. Offer Something for Everyone:**     From "bougie" upscale finds in Grayslake to farm antiques and a "man cave" in Antioch, the boutiques cater to a wide range of tastes. Creating Versatile Community Spaces: The Room One of the standout features of the shopping center is The Room—a flexible event space that fills a crucial need in Grayslake. Features and Uses Size:** 1,700 sq. ft., seating up to 75 people. Amenities:** Chairs, stage, sound system, and adaptable layout. Events:** Micro-weddings, birthday parties, comedy nights, concerts, art shows, and corporate meetings. Why It Works Convenience:**     The Room is adjacent to restaurants and an escape room, making it easy to plan multi-part events (e.g., a birthday party with food and entertainment all in one place). Community Focus:**     The space is designed for locals to gather, celebrate, and connect. Pro Tip:   If you're considering adding an event space to your business, think about how it can complement your existing tenants and serve unmet needs in your community. Vendor Management and Growth Strategies Managing over 600 vendors is no small feat. Trent and Lori's approach offers valuable lessons for anyone running a multi-vendor retail operation. Key Strategies Start Small, Scale Fast:**     Their first location filled up within days, and they quickly expanded to additional buildings and locations. Maintain a Waiting List:**     Demand for booth space remains high, ensuring a steady pipeline of new vendors and fresh inventory. Vendor Diversity:**     By offering spaces for everything from antiques to new clothing, they attract a broad spectrum of sellers and shoppers. Actionable Advice Foster a Vendor Community:**     Regular communication, collaborative events, and a supportive environment keep vendors engaged and invested in the store's success. Rotate and Refresh:**     Encourage vendors to update their booths regularly to keep the store dynamic and exciting. Seasonal Merchandising and Store Staging One of the boutique's biggest draws is its ever-changing look and feel. Lori and her team spend weeks preparing for each season and holiday, transforming the store into a new experience every time. Best Practices Plan Ahead:**     Start staging for major holidays and events well in advance. Team Effort:**     Involve staff and vendors in the process to bring fresh ideas and energy. Create Visual Impact:**     Use creative displays, themed décor, and strategic product placement to draw customers in and inspire purchases. Why It Matters Repeat Visits:**     Customers return again and again to see what's new, driving loyalty and word-of-mouth. Emotional Connection:**     Seasonal themes tap into nostalgia and celebration, making shopping a memorable experience. Balancing Passion, Family, and Business Trent and Lori's story is also about finding joy and balance in work and life. After long careers in education and the car business, they built a new chapter together—one that combines their love of antiques, travel, and community. Lessons Learned Follow Your Interests:**     Lori's passion for clothing and antiques led to a business that never feels like "just a job." Work as a Team:**     Trent handles the behind-the-scenes fixes and logistics, while Lori curates and connects with customers. Make Time for Each Other:**     Even during their busiest years, they made Sundays their day for antiquing and reconnecting. Advice for Couples in Business Divide and Conquer:**     Play to each other's strengths and communicate openly about roles and responsibilities. Celebrate Small Wins:**     Take time to enjoy the journey and the community you're building together. Actionable Takeaways for Local Entrepreneurs Whether you're running a boutique, managing a shopping center, or dreaming of starting your own business, here are the top lessons from Trent and Lori's journey: Invest in Your Space:**     Clean, well-lit, and accessible facilities attract both tenants and customers. Curate for Community:**     Choose tenants and offerings that serve local needs and create synergy. Keep It Fresh:**     Regularly

Habitat Podcast #381 - In today's episode of The Habitat Podcast, we are back in the studio with Randy Birdsong of HeadHunters TV and The Raven Project! We discuss: Food plots aren't enough—they must be positioned strategically “Bridge food” (like clover) is critical during late winter stress Micro bedding areas (150–200 yards away) increase daylight movement Access can make or break your entire season Design properties in repeatable “deer pods” Rotate food types by season to control movement Don't give deer multiple equal options at the same time Mature bucks are highly patternable across years Smaller, multiple properties can outperform one large farm When neighbors bait—you win by outworking and out-designing them And So Much More!
