Podcasts about Scrooge

Mary welcomes back Bible teacher Chris Quintana to get a grip on the times. When people say, "get a grip", what do they mean? Getting a grip on reality in 2025 includes really pausing to see things for what they are. The waves of the sea tossing, with a side of perplexity suggests that God is backing the world into a corner and they are not seeing a way out. What does this look like then? We talk about the chaos that leads to global change, in a number of categories. When Dickens had his beloved Scrooge say, "I'll retire to bedlam", what did that mean? Back in the 13th century, there was a hospital in London for the insane called Bethlehem Hospital, shortened to "Bedlam". When Scrooge was talking to Bob Cratchit about Christmas and the "insanity" of celebrating anything, being merry, when he didn't have two shillings to rub together - that was "insanity". Scrooge further implied that if he were to do that, find himself happy outside of his wealth, he would willingly have himself committed - "retire to Bedlam". This showed his priorities over everything, including people.  The craziness in this world, it is not going anywhere. We talk about the technocrats, rich tech engineers who do see the chaos in the world's systems, and believe that the order that tech brings, and control over everything and everyone, will bring order. We look at various other crises and the answers the world gives to the chaos. A fascinating hour with an articulate man.   Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

Misers are known for their intense frugality, hoarding wealth irrespective of the human toll, even when immensely wealthy. Ebenezer Scrooge from A Christmas Carol is the iconic fictional miser. However, many real-life misers existed, unlike Scrooge, did not reform after spectral encounters or familial interventions.

Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate Creativity Episode 419 Why Does Dickens Matter,  Part 2We begin this podcast episode with a few more excerpt by Dickens that showcase his masterful description of the common person.1. The Hard-Working, Overwhelmed Clerk (from A Christmas Carol)Here's Bob Cratchit, Scrooge's clerk, illustrates the quiet dignity and hardship of the working poor:"The clerk's fire was so very much smaller that it looked like one coal; but he couldn't replenish it, for Scrooge kept the coal-box in his own room; and if the clerk came in with the shovel, the master predicted that it would be necessary for them to part. Wherefore the clerk put on his white comforter, and tried to warm himself at the candle; in which effort, not being a man of strong imagination, he failed.But he was a happy family-man, Bob Cratchit, and a good one; and though he earned but fifteen ‘bob' a week, and a hard struggle it was to keep his five children (for Tiny Tim was a fifth) on that, yet he was content, and had a smile for every one of them."What it shows: Empathy for the Daily Struggle: Dickens immediately draws sympathy for Bob through the stark contrast of his meager fire with Scrooge's control over the coal. This highlights the power imbalance and the quiet suffering of the employee.Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.

Sometimes Christmas just doesn't feel like Christmas.  It's December 2001, and Richard is living alone, facing down his first Christmas Eve without his family.  But he's about to learn that Christmas has its own magic -- and its own surprising plans for him… One hundred and fifty-eight years earlier, Charles Dickens changed the world with his story of another lonely man on Christmas Eve who ended up getting far more than he bargained for.  What Dickens didn't know -- but Richard does all too well -- is that what he actually created was literatures most famous near-death experience.  Join Richard and Dickens as they each face down their Christmas ghosts -- and hope to wake up the next morning transformed… Notes & Links: You can get a copy of Charles Dicken's A Christmas Carol pretty much anywhere, but I highly recommend Michael Patrick Hearns' The Annotated Christmas Carol where I got most of the information for this episode.  You can get it at AbeBooks here: https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?ch_sort=t&cm_sp=sort-_-SRP-_-Results&ds=30&dym=on&isbn=9780393051582&rollup=on&sortby=2  Get the DVD of Albert Finney's musical Scrooge here:  https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/dvd-scrooge-ronald-neame/3719770?ean=0097361459745&gQT=0  Learn all about the GameBoy Advance Owen wanted so badly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQvSB3KBUIE 

www.patreon.com/dopeypodcastThis week on Dopey! It's ChrisMiss Time Again - and we remember Chris and think about what we've lost in our latest ChrisMiss episode. We are joined by Ted and Colin—two of Chris's closest friends—for a long, emotional, laugh filled but ultimately tragic journey through grief, memory, relapse, recovery and death. They recount wild and deeply human stories of Chris: his powerful magnetism,  his “whatevs” persona, and the time he hugged a drunk driver who had just killed someone. Then, we go deep into Chris's relapse, the shame that may have surrounded it, and the fear of losing connection.From Mountainside to Katz's Deli, from a poetry slam to the drunk tank, from legacy to myth to bionic legs traded for heroin—this episode is everything that made Chris unforgettable. PLUS: a classic Dopey voicemail from Tim in Philly involving coke, Cookie, and crackhouse head, and a replay of Episode 71 with Chris. It all ends with the classic version of “Bad Card” and a full-circle Dave and Chris musical outro. Stay strong Dopey Nation, and fucking toodles for Chris.Opening:Dave recalls Dave Marshall, the first Dopey community member to die. Dave, Chris, and Dave Marshall once recorded a now-lost episode that ended in a bizarre fight—possibly because Chris was trying to impress Marshall.Talking Grief:Dave asks Colin and Ted how they grieve Chris. Colin mentions laughing at dumb things and feeling like Chris is still there. Ted recalls vivid dreams where Chris walks him through his relationship with his wife, like a ghostly Scrooge-style guide. The dream was so powerful he woke up crying.Dreams of Chris:Dave shares that Chris is always dead in his dreams, and that he recently had one with both Chris and his mother (also deceased). Chris always knows he's gone in the dream—making them painful but powerful.Trend of Death:The conversation shifts to the changing trends of death in recovery: less overdoses, more suicides, including people they knew.Settlers of Catan:Chris's obsession with the Settlers board game—cheating newbies, logging fake wins on a wooden log, and playing alone while stacking stats. The actual Settlers Log might be lost.Connection & Community:Colin reflects on connection as the heart of Dopey and recovery. Chris embodied that connection for many.Why Did Chris Relapse?They dive into theories around Chris's relapse:He was doing well—finished his master's, in a stable relationship, BTN job picking up.Dave wonders if Chris thought the promises of recovery would be better high.Colin and Ted say Chris might've feared losing relationships if he admitted he was using.Shame and stigma—not about being an addict, but about breaking the recovery identity—were likely massive.Chris's Persona:“Whatevs” was Chris's favorite line, but everyone agrees—he actually cared a lot. He just didn't want people to know.Origin Story:Chris and Dave met at Mountainside, where Chris became Dave's “Eskimo”, showing him that 12-step worked.Chris used to visit Katz's Deli to impress Dave and his girlfriends.They texted or talked every single day from 2015 to the day Chris died.The Fatal Crash Story:Ted and Chris are en route to a poetry slam when they stumble on a deadly car crash—they are first on scene.Ted goes into shock.Chris takes action—calls 911, finds a guy with smashed legs, then chases the drunk driver into the woods.The driver is blackout drunk, crying, and doesn't know what happened.Chris hugs the man, tells him he killed someone, and holds him as he cries.Later, Chris keeps in touch with the man, who is sentenced to 30 years in prison. It was his seventh DUI.Synchronicity:A year later, Chris relapsed. Ted and Colin had to call the cops on him.The same officer from the crash scene showed up to arrest Chris and put him in the drunk tank.Chris's Duality:Dave sums it up: “We're the same people who kill people. We're the same people who help people. And we can turn up totally wasted again at the drop of a dime.”Recovery Today:Ted no longer goes to meetings. He stays clean through fatherhood, meditation, self-help, spirituality, and service.Colin is still active in both 12-step and Dharma recovery, running meetings and staying connected.The Island & The Source:They call the Berkshires “The Source” (or “the island from Lost”) and reflect that Chris might have needed to stay there.Dopey Origins:Ted recalls Chris calling Dave from their house, excited about starting something.They joke about Ted's long resistance to appearing on Dopey, and how his job working with kids made him hesitant to be publicly associated with drug stories. He recently shared his full story with his students.Legacy of Chris & Dopey Growth:Dave reflects on how Chris's death helped grow the show in ways that feel bittersweet.Ted and Colin say they thought Dopey was “so dumb” when it started but now are blown away by what Dave's done with it.Robot Legs Story:Ted shares a picture of Chris's titanium leg braces, used to treat ankle issues from drinking.Chris once tried to trade the $5,000 robotic legs for heroin—the dealer said no.Cookie & Classic Dopey Returns:Dave plays a classic voicemail from Tim in Philly:Shoots coke in KensingtonReggie and Cookie join himReggie says Cookie gives “the best head”Tim says no, but once the coke hits—he caves instantlyThey do the drugs in Reggie's mom's house, possiblyClassic filthy, funny, dark Dopey stuffThrowback to Dopey Episode 71:Dave plays a full classic Chris segment:Shooting cokeEuphoric recallLego hot dog standsMeeting speakers“Built-in forgetters”Chris's obsession with scale, smell, and push“Favorite part was waiting for the rush before it hit”Final Thoughts:Dave shares how much he misses Chris.Notes the podcast would not exist without him.Chris is still part of it every week.Reflects on his old sponsor telling him “you have to step over bodies,” which he rejected.Chris's death has saved lives.Dopey grew because of him—but Dave would trade it all to have him back.

Unfortunately, Larke and Troy decide to go caroling and to give toys to needy children, making the party a bust. Only a few of the teens show up, and they all get snowed in at the Teen Club due a cheap snow machine. In order to pass the time, they tell Jillian and Chester their version of Dickens's "A Christmas Carol.” Of course, they cast themselves as the characters, with Buck as Scrooge. Radley, Switchboard, and Nikki are the Ghosts, and they show Buck the errors of being über-wealthy. In true Scrooge fashion, he donates a huge sum of money to the orphanage.Surfing ghosts? Check.

In this episode we explore one big long answer to an email from Bob about why people refuse to spend money in retirement despite having more than adequate resources.  We touch on the math and psychology of the Possibility Effect and how to use Base Rates to overcome that, what the numbers say you really should be afraid of, how to break down expenses to alleviate fears and the real underlying problem in many cases, which is not fear, but personal identity rooted in "Frugality Inertia."And THEN we our go through our weekly and monthly portfolio reviews of the eight sample portfolios you can find at Portfolios | Risk Parity Radio.Books Referenced:"The Top Five Regrets of the Dying" by Bronnie Ware"Falling Upward" by Richard Rohr"Strength to Strength" and "Build The Life You Want" by Arthur Brooks"The Second Mountain" by David Brooks"The Soul of Wealth" by Daniel Crosby"The Art of Spending Money" by Morgan Housel"Die With Zero" by Bill PerkinsAdditional Links:Father McKenna Center Donation Page:  Donate - Father McKenna CenterMorgan Housel Podcast:  The Morgan Housel Podcast, Episode 1: The Art of Spending MoneyNarrative Psychology:  How to tell stories that give you meaning | Jane Goodall, Terry Crews & Dan McAdamsChooseFI Pod #508:  508 | 5% SWR, Revealed Preferences, and the 3 Stories | Frank VasquezFour Idols Video:  https://tinyurl.com/4vua3eb2 Satisficing:  Satisficing - WikipediaBreathless AI-Bot Summary:This episode tackles the psychology behind the "golden coffin" phenomenon – wealthy retirees who maintain sub 3% withdrawal rates, essentially ensuring they'll die with maximum assets. While justified as prudent planning, the real barriers to enjoying retirement wealth are more complex and fascinating.We dive into cognitive science, exploring how the "possibility effect" (identified by Kahneman and Tversky) distorts our risk perception. Your brain amplifies the tiny probability of running out of money while downplaying the vastly higher probability of running out of time. A 55-year-old man has an 11.3% chance of dying within 10 years – yet many obsess over financial scenarios with less than 1% probability of occurring.Beyond cognitive biases lies an identity crisis. Many successful investors have spent decades defining themselves through wealth accumulation. This "frugality inertia" becomes so embedded in self-image that spending feels wrong, even when mathematically sound. The financial services industry exploits these fears, selling products that promise impossible certainties while encouraging hoarding behaviors.The solution? Reframing retirement spending around four evidence-based wellbeing categories: relationships, experiences, work avoidance (paying for freedom from tedious tasks), and giving. These categories reliably generate happiness returns far superior to watching account balances grow. For those struggling to make this psychological transition, books like "Falling Upward" (Rohr), "Strength to Strength" (Brooks), and "The Soul of Wealth" (Crosby) provide frameworks for evolving beyond accumulation as life purpose.What retirement story are you living? The miser who dies rich but unfulfilled, or the transformed Scrooge who discovers generosity's joy? The choice defines not just your retirement, but your legacy.Support the show

What's up, dudes? I've got Ken Kessler from Sounds of Christmas and Scott Leopold from Holly Jolly X'masu here to talk the wonky version of “A Christmas Carol!” Yes, it's “Scrooge's Rock 'N' Roll Christmas” starring Jack Elam and ‘60s/‘70s musical acts!Airing in 1984, the special shows Ebenezer Scrooge in his counting house. Enigmatically, a young girl goes through an unseen time slip à la the Real Ghostbusters and winds up in his place. Subsequently, she attempts to enliven his Christmas spirit with a magical snowglobe that grants wishes. Her wish: teach Scrooge about Three Dog Night.The rest of the show is the duo arguing about Christmas and rock and roll, and watching various bands and singers. Everyone from Merrilee Rush to Paul Revere & the Raiders show up and sing Christmas songs and carols. Mary MacGregor and Mike Love sing “Do You Hear What I Hear?” while the Association sings “Sleigh Ride.” The acts change Scrooge's tune, and all's well that ends well.Bobby Goldsboro? Got him. Mike Love? Much maligned, but he's there too. Bridget? …Bridget?!?! So hop on your sleigh.

Long before he became a miser, Scrooge was a lonely boy left behind at boarding school—forgotten, unwanted, and emotionally starved. In this IFS-informed exploration, Rick traces how those early wounds formed exiled parts burdened with shame and abandonment, which in turn gave rise to the controlling, isolated adult we meet in A Christmas Carol. Scrooge's obsession with money, his cold demeanor, and his rejection of connection weren't signs of greed—they were survival strategies. Through this lens, Dickens' story becomes more than a tale of redemption—it's a powerful look at how childhood trauma shapes adult financial behavior and how healing begins when we finally turn toward those long-forgotten parts.A podcast that blends the nuts and bolts of financial advice with the emotions that drive making them.Rick Kahler, CFP®, CFT-I™, has helped people make better money decisions by integrating financial planning. He blends the nuts and bolts of financial advice with the emotions that drive making them and shares them on his financial therapy podcast.

It's actually alright.

Heaven on Earth-Grandpa Bill's Archival Journey: Revisiting 3 Years of Life's Game & Plotting Your Own Masterpiece! Grandpa Bill, has got a warm feeling in my heart as I sit down to share some exciting news. Grandpa Bill is doing something truly special over here, and I want our cherished community to be a big part of it!For the past three years, whether you've been tuning in to the BH Sales Kennel Kelp Holistic Healing Hour Podcast or watching our insightful videos on my YouTube Channel, BillHolt@billholt8792, you've been on a journey with me. A journey through the grand board game of life, exploring holistic well-being, practical wisdom, and the challenges and triumphs that make us all stronger. We've talked about everything from nurturing your inner peace to building resilient communities, all with a focus on harmony and growth.And now? We're taking a trip back in time! We're cracking open the archives and revisiting some of our very first shows, some of the most popular discussions, and even some hidden gems you might have missed. It's a grand recap of three years of shared learning and community growth!What strikes me most, as I go through these old recordings and visuals, isn't just the information we shared, but the incredible community that has blossomed around us. Your questions, your stories, your willingness to learn and to support one another – that's the real treasure here.For our aspiring authors out there, like GB, crafting 'The Greater Portland Crab Caper,' these archives aren't just old episodes; they're levels in the game of life that can inspire My novel's plot! Think about Codman Fisher and Carlton Crabbe – those rival industries, the sea vegetation, the cyber-attacks in 2025 – doesn't it all echo the kinds of challenges and resolutions we've explored in our discussions over the years?We've talked about the human nature that drives ambition (think of our 'Mr. Magoo as Scrooge' mnemonic – how tunnel vision or old habits can impact others, or how collective spirit can bring about change). This mnemonic, for instance, can be a powerful lens for placing character motivations and community impacts right into the Portland memory palaces you're building for our book! The theme of 'communally expansion' is at the very heart of both our shows and, I believe, the very soul of My novel.So, I invite you to join me in this nostalgic journey. Whether you prefer to listen to the thoughtful discussions on the podcast or see the insights come to life on YouTube, there's something for everyone. And as you dive into these archives, let's keep that spirit of community conversation thriving:How has our shared journey through holistic life lessons, over these past three years, fostered a stronger community bond for you, or perhaps given you an idea for a 'plot point' in your own life or story?And looking forward, what new community-driven topics or challenges would you love to see us explore together on the show, drawing inspiration from both real life and the unfolding narratives we create?Your input truly helps us to grow and ensure we're serving your needs. So, head on over to the podcast or the YouTube channel, take a listen or a watch, and then share your reflections in the comments or on social media. Let's keep that spirit of 'communally expansion' thriving, both in our lives and in the stories we tell! #GrandpaBill, #LifeLessons, #HumanHolistic, #CommunityWisdom, #MindGame, #NovelWriting, #CrabCaper, #PlottingYourMasterpiece, #MrMagooScrooge, #CommunallyExpand, #MemoryPalace, #AuthorLife, #BHSALESHolisticHealingHour, #ArchivalInsights, #Storyboarding, #HumanJourney, #LifeAsAGame, #PortlandStories, #WellnessJourney,

With Julia taking a festive hiatus, the guys hold down the fort with unfiltered banter, personal holiday horror stories (bee infestations! Disney World mishaps!), and their signature spicy takes. Inside this episode:

The artist behind a new illustrated version of "A Christmas Carol," titled Scrooge is on the show the week to talk about the project, funding now on Zoop! We also discuss returning to old ideas, working with Todd McFarlane on Spawn, drawing for role playing games, and a lot more!We make our show on Zencastr, and you can too!

MSNBC's Ari Melber hosts The Beat on Monday, May 5th, and reports on the economy and rule of law under the second Trump administration, as well as RFK Jr.'s recent actions with respect to the Department of Health and Human Services. Caleb Silver, Eugene Robinson, Joyce Vance, and R.J. Cutler join.

Trump 2.0 is showing so little concern for his political standing that even Fox made primetime room for Karl Rove to vent about how he's failing at the fundamentals. Our aspiring Gaddafi doesn't care that tariffs aren't popular or that he sounds like Mr. Scrooge when he says kids should have fewer toys. And while belt-tightening is good enough for average Americans, he's throwing himself a giant, ostentatious military parade that will cost tens of millions of dollars. Plus, conservatives in the Anglosphere take another hit, this time down under—and thumbs-up for Maine Gov. Janet Mills, thumbs-down for Gretchen Whitmer.  Bill Kristol joins Tim Miller. show notes Today's "Morning Shots" Jonathan's recent newsletter on Gretchen Whitmer The Atlantic's recent interview with Trump (gifted)

Tonight on The Last Word: Americans sour on Donald Trump's tariffs and his handling of the economy. Also, the Trump tariff chaos upends a Canadian election. Plus, Trump fails to deliver his promised end to Vladimir Putin's war. And Democrats look to campaign on the chaos of Trump's first 100 days in office. Catherine Rampell, Sen. Amy Klobuchar, Amb. Michael McFaul, and Rep. Angie Craig join Lawrence O'Donnell.

Happy Monday, Christmas Fanatics! Can you believe that we're already less than a week out from Easter? We sure can't! This year is flying!  This week, Julia and Anthony are sans Thom and - after catching up on recent movie releases - dive into the 2024 holiday-slasher film, "The Naughty List of Mr. Scrooge". Is this one of those B-movie schlockfests that's so bad it's good, à la "The Mean One"? Or is this merely a bad Lifetime movie of the week dressed up like a Christmas horror film? You'll just have to tune in to find out! So settle back, relax, and enjoy this fun and festive episode, which is the perfect way to kickstart your week! As always, thanks for your love and support, y'all!

Eric rages against the heat, and old people picking bread. Plus, like Scrooge, he learns the error of his ways, and changes.

John's currently penning something which will change global culture. But what if we lift the bonnet of his genius? That is what we find out on today's show.For in that bonce is a V8 plucking words from the ether with such vim and vigour, and combining those words to make phrases, clauses and sentences. Word constructs which then combine to make reflections and musings that will make people go “huh, that's profound” like nothing before.The ease with which John hammers out words at such a pace would make Jilly Cooper, professional blush causer, blush. Pages churned out with an efficiency that if this were Bob Cratchit doing office based tasks then Scrooge would offer him a raise.Elsewhere, there is combat over the combativeness of features and where the blame for that lies, whilst once again Elis is unreasonably put under time pressure to think of things. Plus, have you ever just snogged someone constantly for an hour?If you'd like to pen your own novellas (emails / texts) then get in touch through elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk or 07974 293 022 on WhatsApp.

Spencer Klavan, author of “Light of the Mind, Light of the World,” issues a powerful call to action for Christians in America: stop refuting, start asserting. Meaning, Christians no longer need to refute The Left's materialist idea that humans are merely atomic matter. Instead, we must assert that we believe in something greater: a God-given spirit that enriches our lives. The question is, how do we unlock the fruits of that spirit? Spencer and I hope to shed some light on this question. - - -  Today's Sponsor: ExpressVPN - Get up to 4 Months FREE of ExpressVPN: https://expressvpn.com/klavan

With David's masterful guidance and atmospheric readings, this immersive episode takes you to the fireside of a London coaching inn as the sun sets outside on a late December afternoon.A warning: this episode contains references to historical suicides.Dickens' extracts are read by Robyn Wilson.Produced by Mariana Des Forges and edited by Dougal Patmore.

This Christmas, the cold streets of Victorian London collide with the fiery depths of Hell in a chilling reimagining of a classic tale. Jacob Marley, the tormented ghost doomed to carry the chains of his earthly sins, is summoned by a sinister demon to deliver a haunting message to his former partner, Ebenezer Scrooge. But as Marley confronts the sins of his past, he discovers that redemption is not within his grasp—and that Hell's games are far crueler than he could have ever imagined. A story of despair, darkness, and the twisted contrast between holiday joy and eternal torment, "The Christmas Misadventure of Marley's Ghost" reveals the untold side of Scrooge's haunting—a side where hope is fleeting, and salvation is nothing more than a cruel joke. This is not the feel-good Christmas story you thought you knew.

Ebenezer Scrooge hates Christmas with a passion. To him, it's all a waste of time and money. But when he's visited by the ghost of his dead business partner, the equally greedy Jacob Marley, Scrooge begins to understand the error of his ways.

The Ghost of Christmas Past visits Scrooge and takes him back to his own childhood. He's reminded that he was shown kindness as a young man, and had even been in love, before his greed took over.

The Ghost of Christmas Present shows Scrooge how Christmas should be celebrated – with joy and giving, even when you are poor, like Scrooge's own kindly clerk Bob Cratchit.

The Ghost of Christmas Future reveals the appalling events that will happen if Scrooge doesn't become a kinder man. Tiny Tim will die, and so will Scrooge, though no one will mourn him. Scrooge begs the Ghost for a chance to put things right.

The Muppets perform the classic Dickens holiday tale, with Kermit the Frog playing Bob Cratchit, the put-upon clerk of stingy Ebenezer Scrooge (Michael Caine). Other Muppets -- Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Fozzie Bear and Sam the Eagle -- weave in and out of the story, while Scrooge receives visits from spirits of three Christmases -- past, present and future. They show him the error of his self-serving ways, but the miserable old man seems to be past any hope of redemption and happiness.

This week, the guys team up for an atheist review of The Gospel According to Scrooge, in which Dickens' classic tale of redemption gets a lot more Jesus crammed into its margins. On stage.

Christmas wasn't always a national shopping spree — or even a day off work. But in 19th-century London, it went viral. When Charles Dickens published A Christmas Carol, the book's tale of miserly Scrooge and the ghosts that transformed him transformed the holiday too, especially in the U.S.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
