The Baller Lifestyle Podcast Episode 606 Part 2 — “White Christmas Is the Worst Christmas Movie Ever” Host: Brian BecknerCo-Host: Ed Daly Episode Description Merry Christmas… we guess? In this holiday episode of The Baller Lifestyle Podcast, Brian and Ed return from the holiday break to absolutely torch one of the most beloved “classic” Christmas movies of all time — White Christmas (1954). Ed once again does the Lord's work by watching a movie so Brian doesn't have to, and what unfolds is a deeply uncomfortable, wildly problematic, and shockingly un-Christmas breakdown of Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, minstrel songs, buttermilk, liverwurst, and a plot that makes absolutely no sense. Is White Christmas actually a Christmas movie?Why does it open and close with the same song and forget Christmas in between?How did this movie ever become a holiday staple?And why does everyone seem so aggressively miserable? If you've ever argued about whether Die Hard is a Christmas movie, this episode gives you all the ammunition you need. ️ What's Covered in This Episode Why White Christmas may be the worst “Christmas movie” ever made Singing White Christmas in the first 5 minutes… then nowhere else for 2 hours Bing Crosby: war captain, confirmed bachelor, and walking red flag Danny Kaye's extremely confusing energy and dance-heavy runtime Minstrel show references — without irony How White Christmas is basically a sanitized remake of Holiday Inn ‍️ A sad WWII general running a failing Vermont inn Escaping the police by train from Florida to Vermont (sure, why not) ️ Singing about snow… when it isn't snowing Midnight snacks of liverwurst sandwiches and buttermilk A TV plot that somehow saves the entire hotel ‍‍ A suspiciously emotional reunion of army buddies Bing Crosby finally wearing a Santa suit in the last five minutes ️ Fun fact: the snow was made of asbestos Why people still call this a Christmas movie Key Takeaway White Christmas isn't a Christmas movie — it's a two-hour fever dream that happens to use the same song twice and confuse generations of viewers into thinking it's festive.

Joe Pags dives into the headlines lighting up everyone's For You page — and kicks things off by singing “The Grinch” live on air, because why not? Then it's rapid-fire news: the economy grows a full percentage point, with Kevin Hassett weighing in on what it really means; FCC Chairman Brendan Carr bans foreign-made drones, and Pags says GOOD — China's been spying long enough. Plus, are we headed toward conflict with Venezuela? Pags says not so fast — but with U.S. troops moving into the Caribbean, he explains why the situation suddenly deserves a closer look. Then Wilfred Reilly, author and associate professor at Kansas State University, joins the show for a must-hear conversation. Reilly takes on leftist revisionist history, dismantling false narratives about Native Americans, colonialism, the Southern Strategy, and more. He explains how history has been twisted in classrooms — and lays out the actual facts they don't want taught. Fun, fast, and full of truth — a can't-miss hour. Learn more about your ad choices.

Singing during Christmastime—and at all times—has deep formative power, shaping our minds and our spirits. In times of distraction and anxiety, how can we access this formation? And how can caroling at Christmas aid us in keeping Christ at the center of our hearts?Our guide is Keith Getty, an extraordinary hymn writer, musician, and catalyst for the modern hymn movement. In a special Christmastime conversation, we explored music, formation, and beauty:“We're fearfully and wonderfully made. We remember tunes and we forget sermons, not because we're bad people, but it's because of how God made us. The carols are special because repetition is a form of liturgy. And each Christmas, the liturgy of singing provides such an opportunity for us.” – Keith GettyThis podcast is an edited version of an Online Conversation recorded in 2023. You can find the full video on our website, ttf.org. While there, please consider becoming a Trinity Forum Society member too. Join us in exploring timeless Christian wisdom together, so you gain clarity and courage for your own life, and help cultivate a renewed culture of hope.

What does it really mean to stay connected to your singing voice—especially in quiet seasons, when you're not practicing, performing, or making much sound at all? In this episode, we explore what actually counts as singing for singer-songwriters, and how creativity and voice remain present even when the voice goes quiet. If you're in a slower season, returning after a break, or feeling unsure how to stay connected to your voice right now, this episode offers reassurance, permission, and a gentle reframe. We talk about the many forms creativity can take, including listening, writing lyrics, exploring meaning through words, creative cross-training, and rest. You'll be invited to see silence and stillness not as a loss, but as an essential part of the creative cycle—like the rest in music that allows the next sound to emerge. If you're longing to reconnect with your singing voice without pressure, judgment, or performance, you're in the right place.

“Glorilla the only person in this world who can say she wrote a song for me” ~ Kevo Muney  Memphis artist Kevo Muney sits down with Lalaa Shepard on Skipping Class, powered by The Progress Report, for a raw and personal conversation about his life, his music, and the mindset it took to keep going. Kevo Muney reflects on growing up in Memphis, learning the realities of the city early, and how experiences around Beale Street helped shape his perspective.  He opens up about the passing of his sister, how loss impacted him, and how family dynamics and responsibility influenced his grind before the music started gaining traction. Kevo also speaks on being misunderstood as an artist, carving out his own identity, and leveling up through major moments — including Glorilla writing for him and working alongside Moneybagg Yo — sharing what those experiences taught him about the industry, opportunity, and staying true to himself.  This episode is about pain, purpose, growth, and real Memphis stories — straight from the source.

A winter wish, a juniper tree, and a song that won't be silenced. We read and unpack The Juniper Tree through the lens of myth and astrology, following a stark arc from dismemberment to remembrance, from underworld descent to the ninth house return of voice. The tale's violent turn isn't spectacle—it's symbolic. A sister gathers bones and lays them at the roots; a bird rises from fire, sings what happened, and earns a golden chain, red shoes, and a millstone. Each gift answers a wound: the chain restores the severed link, the shoes return movement and joy, and the stone delivers the kind of Saturnian justice that ends what cannot be integrated.Along the way we explore why juniper is a liminal, funerary, protective tree and why solstice is the perfect time for a story about death and the slow return of light. We trace resonances with Snow White, the Raven, Medusa, Osiris and Isis, and even the Christian ritual of remembrance that turns body and blood into bread and wine. The ninth house shines through as the realm where hard-won wisdom gets sung aloud, where fair exchange dignifies art, and where truth becomes beautiful enough for others to bear. This is not a call to bypass grief; it's a ritual map for metabolizing it.If you've ever felt your voice frozen in the underworld, this story offers a path: gather the bones, honor the roots, set a boundary around your song, and let the wings come back. As the year turns, join us for a solstice myth that holds both the darkest night and the first hint of dawn.

SUMMARY: Guest: Lara Silverman — comedic actress, jazz singer, violinist, author, Stanford Law grad; formerly a federal prosecutor. -Faith roots: Grew up in a large Romanian Christian family (with Syrian Christian heritage); accepted Christ at 7; faith deepened after her aunt's death from cancer. -Calling to law: Loved advocacy and public speaking; passed the bar after intense study; landed her dream role as a federal prosecutor in San Francisco. -Health crisis: Fell acutely ill in week two on the job with a rare, under-researched neurological vertigo disorder; tried ~30–150 therapies and ~38 medications (often worsened symptoms); bedridden for three years on a bedpan; ultimately resigned her post. -Ongoing illness: Continues to experience constant spinning sensations; multiple tentative diagnoses, no definitive cure; learned to walk again despite worsening symptoms when upright. -Spiritual wrestle: Initial confusion turned to seasons of bitterness and anger (more than depression); felt misunderstood by some believers when she sensed God calling her to accept ongoing suffering. -Acceptance and surrender: Believes God spoke that she would not be fully healed on this side of eternity; fasting exposed idols of health, marriage, and career; moved toward surrender and trust. -Meeting Matt: Church acquaintance (youth leader) who reached out during her bedridden years; he had suffered childhood cancer and was later diagnosed with terminal cancer; they formed a deep bond through shared suffering. -Marriage and loss: Married despite her illness and his terminal diagnosis; experienced “joy in grief” through ministry and creativity; Matt died a year later; Lara testifies to God's peace and preparation through the loss. -Joy amid grief: Practiced finding “sprinkles of joy” (comedy clips, music, niece's smile, devotionals); launched The Silverman Show (YouTube: comedy, music, theology); organized jazz fundraisers, including $13K raised for Haiti. -Theology of suffering: *Critiques “prosperity gospel light” in American church; calls for preparing believers to suffer well. *Emphasizes biblical themes: joy in suffering; God's intentional purposes; eternal rewards (e.g., “crown of life”); 2 Corinthians 4:17's “eternal weight of glory.” *Points to Isaiah 61 (double portion/redemption), 1 Peter 1:7 (tested faith), Job-like redemption ultimately fulfilled in eternity. *Cites Helen Roseveare's testimony about trusting God in suffering. -Identity transformation: Early identity tied to achievement and “gold stars”; illness stripped these; learned identity in Christ, not performance; challenged by Matt's loving rebukes about pride and usefulness. -Honest struggles: Jealousy when others receive “basic blessings” (marriage, children, health); wrestled with God's statement “I know what's best for you”; learning to believe God's wisdom without having micro-level reasons. -Church's role: Encourage sound theology of suffering, eternal perspective, and the call to “joy in grief”; avoid equating God's love solely with earthly blessings. -Memoir: Wrote her memoir from bed over eight months, capturing God's “receipts” (journaled answers, provisions, and lessons); aims to comfort sufferers with biblical reasons for suffering and stories of God's nearness. -Hope redefined: Realistic hope is anchored in eternity (John 11:25); freedom from fear of death empowers purposeful living now. -Key scriptures referenced: 2 Corinthians 4:17 (eternal glory) 1 Peter 1:7 (tested genuineness of faith) Isaiah 61 (redemption, double portion) Isaiah 43:19–20 (streams in the wilderness) Romans 8:29 (conformed to Christ) John 11:25 (life beyond death) -Core takeaway: God provides “streams in the desert.” Open your heart to receive and choose joy in the midst of grief; joy and sorrow can coexist, and God will redeem suffering—fully in eternity, and often with foretastes now.   PODCAST INTRO: What happens when the life you planned—brilliant career, healthy body, tidy faith, marriage and children—collides with relentless suffering? For comedian, jazz singer, author, violinist, and Stanford-trained attorney Lara Silverman, that colission became a calling. Lara spent years pursuing her dream of becoming a federal prosecutor—years of academic discipline, devoted goal setting, and passionate pursuit. After graduating from Stanford, she enters the grueling vetting and elimination process of 1000 hopeful lawyers with the goal of making it to the top 3. When she learns that she made it in the top 3 her dream becomes a reality…she is standing at the pinnacle of a major goal in her life. She was accepted as a federal prosecutor and begin the task of fully stepping into that role. Until in her second week on the job, she fell violently ill with what would later be discovered as a rare, unresolved neurological condition that keeps her in a constant state of the world spinning around her. She endures that condition to this day…8 years now, 3 of which left her bedridden, on a bedpan, being cared for and nursed by her parents. Thirty-eight medications failed. Careers, plans, family timelines—all stripped away. In her personal dark valley of multi layered deaths, her testimony is that not only does God meet her there, He has never left her. True to being a trained lawyer, in her effort to make sense of her spinning, crumbling world she uses the Word/Bible to question God's goodness and His fairness demanding that He explain Himself. She's met with firm, steady, unwavering love that consistently engages her pain inviting her from striving to surrender. Through Lara's fasting, God exposed hidden idols—health, marriage, career—not to shame her, but to set her free. Because I think we all know that if we build our lives on things that will fade, change, transition, not to mention the fact that we have no guarantees on anything we risk losing ourselves into despair and ruin. Then came an unlikely gift. As Lara lay in bed, a church acquaintance—Matt Silverman, a brilliant, joy-filled believer battling terminal cancer—began calling to pray and wrestle through theology with her. Friendship became love. They married, held jazz benefit concerts for Haiti, launched a small YouTube channel, and practiced “joy in grief” as a spiritual discipline. Exactly one year later, Matt went home to Jesus. Lara's testimony is not tidy. She speaks frankly about anger, bitterness, jealousy, and the ache of unanswered prayers. Yet she clings to promises many avoid: that suffering refines faith (1 Peter 1), forges intimacy with Christ, prepares us for eternity (2 Corinthians 4), and—even here—can be met with streams in the desert (Isaiah 43). She believes God will redeem every loss, whether in the here and now or in eternity—and that the doctrine of reward, often neglected, gives sturdy hope when the nights are long. Her invitation is simple but not without surrender and therefor difficult: Look for “sprinkles of joy” each day. Refuse to waste your pain—serve others through it. Live now with eternity in view. If you're not afraid to die, you can truly live. Sorrowful, yet always rejoicing. That's Lara's way through the wilderness—and a lifeline for anyone walking it today. In her memoir, Singing Through the Fire, she chronicles all of that's happened, how God shows up, the challenges she's put before Him and vice versa. What does it look like to struggle with God ? Lara provides examples, proof that He doesn't leave even when our faith is weak and ungodly. He holds us up when our faith falters and He sustains us through the most devastating emotional, mental, physical, battles. Let's listen in and find a reason to hope again, to find joy and to be comforted in what can feel like the wilderness. Live Loved and Thrive!

Matthew 2:1-12   Did the magi stop in with Herod because they thought it would be easier to find the baby than following a star?   Regardless of why they spoke with Herod, God didn't give up on them and still warned them in a dream not to go back to him.   King Herod's version of "worship" was to kill this king who had been "born." In contrast, the magi bow down before Jesus and give their gift. Sometimes we can be like Herod, or like the father in Elf who may look like they're going through the motions of worship, but they're not actually worshipping God. But what do the magi teach us about worship. True worship means bowing True worship puts actions to thoughts True worship requires sacrifice   Crossroads – about heaven, earth, and the journey in between.

Have you ever wondered if your love for music and voice could turn into a thriving private practice? Today's guest shows us it's possible—and how to do it while keeping flexibility and control over your life.Joining me is Rachel Goldenberg, a speech-language pathologist, clinical voice specialist, and singing teacher based in Montclair, New Jersey. Rachel's private practice, My Inspired Voice, combines her passion for singing with her expertise in voice therapy, helping clients with everything from vocal health to respiratory challenges.In this episode, Rachel shares her journey from opera-obsessed child to clinical voice expert, how she built a private practice that fits her family and lifestyle, and her tips for anyone ready to take the leap into private practice.Rachel's love for music started early. She began piano lessons at 7 and memorized operas like Carmen and Tosca by age 12, performing them dramatically in her living room. She went on to study at Westminster Choir College in Princeton, New Jersey, where she fell in love with the science of the voice, learning from pioneers in vocal pedagogy.Her career took her through teaching, research on singing and respiratory health, and work with clients with lung disease in Canada. Along the way, she realized that to help clients fully, she needed to expand her skills, which led her to pursue speech-language pathology. Now, her dissertation focused on the use of singing lessons as an adjunctive airway clearance technique for adult cystic fibrosis patients.Through all these experiences, Rachel's passion for voice never wavered—but she also learned the importance of adaptability, continuous learning, and following the right opportunities when they appear.In Today's Episode, We Discuss:How her passion for singing led her into voice therapyWhat it was like to return to grad school during COVIDHow she built her private practice and referral networkWhy flexibility has been essential for her familyWith her practice, Rachel has full control over her schedule, enabling her to see clients during traditional hours, early mornings, or late evenings, while still making time for her children and other priorities. Her story is a perfect example of how passion, expertise, and a willingness to take the leap can create a private practice that's both fulfilling and flexible. Whether you're interested in voice, pediatrics, or another specialty, her journey shows that with the right mindset, mentorship, and action, you can build a practice that fits your life and allows you to thrive both professionally and personally.Ready to take control of your career and start your own private practice—just like Rachel did?

You follow Demetri Papanicolau's winding path from Fidelity financial consultant to full-time booking agent and working musician, discovering how taking risks, saying yes to scary gigs, and learning from every stage moment shaped his career. You hear how singing AC/DC and Zeppelin in high school, drilling Beatles harmonies, and navigating the evolution from originals to covers built the chops he still relies on today. As you ride through stories of surprise band formations, COVID-era pivots, and the birth of Rotten Apple, you're reminded that you must Always Be Performing, even when the gig you expected turns into something entirely different. You also step inside Demetri's world at Notso Costley Productions, where booking is equal parts diplomacy, coaching, and reading the room. He breaks down what venues actually want, what musicians consistently get wrong, and how reliability wins more than draw. You learn how he balances the needs of solos, duos, trios, and full bands; why non-verbal communication and a good hang matter; how to build an EPK that gets you on a roster; and what happens when rates rise across the scene. Through it all, Demetri shows how being both booker and performer lets him guide bands and venues toward smoother nights, stronger partnerships, and gigs that keep everyone coming back. 00:00:00 Gig Gab 512 – Monday, December 15th, 2025 December 15th: National Cupcake Day Guest co-host: Demetri Papanicolau from Notso Costley Productions NAMM coming up!

In this Sunday's homily, we're reminded of a powerful and often forgotten truth from St. Augustine: singing is praying twice.   In a world filled with nonstop music—but very little communal singing—we're invited to rediscover why God commands us to sing, and why it matters not only that we sing, but what we sing. From Scripture and the lives of the saints to mental health, spiritual warfare, and our Christmas traditions, this homily challenges us to look honestly at the music shaping our hearts and our culture.   What happens to a world that stops singing? What happens when we sing things that don't reflect the truth of God, human dignity, and the beauty of the Gospel?   As we prepare for Christmas, this reflection calls us back to joyful, intentional praise—singing that heals, unites, and proclaims the glory of the Lord.   #allparish #sundayhomily
