On this throwback-flavored episode of the Nonsense Podcast, we kick things off with a wild Kelly Fact: orcas are once again wearing salmon as hats. Yes, fashion is alive and well in the ocean, and FNBob thinks they're just expressing themselves—meanwhile, Henvincible is still trying to figure out how they keep the fish on their heads. After that splash of marine madness, the crew talks about needing time off from the 9 to 5 grind and how one woman wrote her own obituary just to control the narrative. Then we dive deep into nostalgia, starting with the return of Tony Hawk Pro Skater, leading to FNBob showing off his skate decks while Henvincible debates whether it's too late to learn how to ride anything. We get a full report from FNBob's trip to the legendary arcade Galloping Ghost, where he met The Angry Video Game Nerd—a YouTube hero! From there, it's a chaotic trip down memory lane with old-school memes, creators like DashieXP and Game Grumps, and classic shows like Jackass and Wildboyz. We end things with Kelly sharing her nostalgic food favorites (fry bread and shepherd's pie), and FNBob revealing his hilarious reason for starting locs—to avoid barbershops. ✨ Episode Highlights:

Imnterview from BOR Show #305, original airdate: January 1, 2007 Loren Singer (1923-2009) wrote the book The Parallax View (1970) Loren worked for the Office of Strategic Services (OSS ) during WW II He first had to pass a series of psychological tests He read studies of Rorschach tests given to top Nazis at Nuremberg Loren wrote for television and radio, this was his first book The amount of influence totalitarian governments had on us A relationship with German Intelligence officer Reinhard Gehlen Loren didn't like the film, the screenwriters couldn't find the thread The terrorism threat is sort of gauzy, Where? How? Unite in order to survive, that's what people will be told Chapters start with quotes from a fictional handbook The book is not a solution to the Kennedy assassinations A list of JFK related deaths, originally Loren scoffed The military men never became OSS assassins General William Donovan, committed to the survival of Britain Psychologists, psychiatrists, geographers, foreign language experts, engineers, weapons instructors Does a government have the right and or the duty to eliminate numbers of it's citizens to ensure it's survival? Skating around the edge right now with Guantanamo Teams ready to do the bidding of corporate or government interests The recruitment, the film's powerful six minute segment An OSS competition, three days of psychological testing Nobody ever passed the final exam, never any finite answer The people running Parallax were certain to have backups Loren did not want to do the screenplay The Manchurian Candidate (1962 film) was much better written Parallax opens with it's own "Zapruder" film Six Seconds In Dallas (Thompson 1967), sued by Time, Inc.

JOHN 5:31-47 - TESTIMONY OF JESUS - BRIAN SUMNERJOHN 5:31 If I bear witness of Myself, My witness is not true. 32 There is another who bears witness of Me, and I know that the witness which He witnesses of Me is true. 33 You have sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth. 34 Yet I do not receive testimony from man, but I say these things that you may be saved. 35 He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing for a time to rejoice in his light. 36 But I have a greater witness than John's; for the works which the Father has given Me to finish—the very works that I do—bear witness of Me, that the Father has sent Me. 37 And the Father Himself, who sent Me, has testified of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His form. 38 But you do not have His word abiding in you, because whom He sent, Him you do not believe. 39 You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. 40 But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.41 “I do not receive honor from men. 42 But I know you, that you do not have the love of God in you. 43 I have come in My Father's name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive. 44 How can you believe, who receive honor from one another, and do not seek the honor that comes from the only God? 45 Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; there is one who accuses you—Moses, in whom you trust. 46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote about Me. 47 But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?To support this channel and partner with Brian in Ministryhttps://www.briansumner.net/support/For more on Brianhttp://www.briansumner.nethttps://www.instagram.com/BRIANSUMNER/https://www.facebook.com/BRIANSUMNEROFFICIALTo listen to Brians Podcast, click below.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Purchase Brians Marriage book at https://www.amazon.com/Never-Fails-Da...Brian is a full time "Urban Missionary" both locally and internationally with a focus on MISSIONS - MARRIAGES - MINISTRY.

S6 E9: Athlete-Centered Skating w/Garrett LucashWe had the honor of sitting down with competitive figure skating coach, Garrett Lucash, to talk about his athlete-centered approach to coaching figure skaters. Garrett is a former competitive figure skater himself, with countless accolades as one of the best skaters in the world during his prime (see his bio). However, Garrett's meaningful journey extends well beyond his medals and outward accomplishments. He has paved a new way of coaching in competitive figure skating, known as ‘athlete-centered skating'. His unique approach aims to support athletes' long-term growth and development as athletes and as humans in a sustainable and empowering way. His approach is based upon aspects of sport science, psychology, and education. This episode is filled with a depth and breadth of stories, wisdom, and insights that coaches can integrate into their day to day interactions with athletes.Garrett Lucash is a retired competitive figure skater with accolades ranging from being ranked 12 in the world, being a 3-time US World Team Member (and 3-time Junior World Team Member), and a 2-time Olympic Team Alternate. His passion for the sport did not end once his competitive career ended; no, Garrett has gone on to coach competitive skaters since then for over 20 years. Garrett has won numerous coaching awards for his innovative ways of using sport science and psychology in his coaching, most recently earning the US Figure Skating 2023 Doc Counsilman Science and Technology Award. This award is given to the best coaches in all Olympic Sports. Garrett is a Team USA Coach; he is a member of the US Figure Skating Sport Science and Medicine Committee; he is Chair of the Professional Skaters Association Sport Science Committee where he creates curriculum for coaches continuing education; and he recently published a book titled “A Constraints-led Approach to Figure Skating”, published in 2022 by Routledge. Following his time in Boston at the Skating Club of Boston, Garrett brought his Athlete Centered Center program to the Detroit Skating Club where he is the Coaches Education Director.Be curious.

Skating to where the puck will be? Not enough. In professional services, it's all about anticipating where your client—the skater—is headed next. But how do you stay ahead when clients start zigging, zagging, and getting slammed into strategic pivots? This episode of AI Knowhow tackles that challenge head-on. Knownwell CMO Courtney Baker is joined by CEO David DeWolf and Chief Product and Technology Officer Mohan Rao to unpack how AI can empower service leaders to become true strategic navigators. They explore why staying close to clients, decoding digital breadcrumbs, and scaling the "trusted advisor" model are essential in today's AI-driven landscape. For our expert interview segment, Pete Buer sits down with Ardy Tripathy, AI lead at OpsCanvas, to explore how his team is using AI to automate infrastructure intelligently. Ardy shares a refreshingly honest rubric for evaluating AI use cases and explains how he turns high-potential features into real, verifiable products. All that PLUS Pete chats with Mohan about Meta's new AI assistant. Is it a friend or just surveillance dressed in chatbot clothing? They break down the privacy red flags and why Meta's approach is a cautionary tale for any business building customer-facing AI. Want to see your company's client intelligence in action? Visit Knownwell.com to learn how Knownwell helps professional service leaders move from reactive to proactive. Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/jlZtX-u7HME

Episode 306 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features a great interview with Seattle Kraken prospect Victor Östman after a wild first season of pro hockey. In the feature interview presented by NHL Sense Arena, Östman discusses his roots and training in the position growing up in Sweden, his continuing evolution in the USHL and then through four years at the University of Maine, and a crazy first full season after turning pro at the end of past season. It included games in the ECHL, AHL and his NHL debut with the Kraken, as well as a goalie fight despite having an EBUG backing him up on the bench and a little known rule that kept him in the game. It's another can't miss interview with a goalie we suspect you'll hear a lot about in the coming years. In the Parent Segment, presented by Stop It Goaltending U the App, we asked listeners if you could pick ONLY 1 thing to work on this summer, would it be: A. Goalie-specific training with a coach (at a camp or 1-on-1), B. Playing Games or C. Skating (power or goalie specific). That sparked a great discussion on the benefits of each, with input from respondents to our question on social media. We also review this week's Pro Reads, presented by Vizual Edge, which features Charlie Lindgren breaking down video and discussing the importance of in-zone awareness even when your teammates have the puck, as well as the importance of not widening out as you drift backwards in order to avoid biting on fakes. And in our weekly gear segment, we go to The Hockey Shop Source for Sports to for a deep dive on the new CCM EFLEX 7 pads and gloves that launch in full at retail next week.

Before Chad Caruso set a Guinness World Record for skateboarding over 3,000 miles across America, before the viral YouTube channel and the documentary, there was a broken-down car at 4 a.m., a failed breathalyzer, and a man staring down the barrel of a second DWI charge and possible jail time. That was Chad's rock bottom—a wake-up call that pushed him to turn his life around.In this episode of The Light Watkins Show, Chad shares the raw, unfiltered journey of how that moment sparked his sobriety, how paying off $10,000 in legal fees with a minimum wage job set him on a path of accountability, and how leasing an iPhone kickstarted his YouTube career teaching skateboarding. But this isn't just a story about skate tricks and social media growth—it's about discovering purpose, self-mastery, and the power of committing fully to something you love.Chad opens up about what it really took to skateboard coast-to-coast without a support vehicle—just him, his board, and the open road. From averaging 55 miles a day to icing his battered feet in hotel sinks, to facing his fears of wild animals, silence, and exhaustion, Chad talks about the mental, physical, and spiritual grind of chasing a big, audacious goal.You'll hear how his upbringing around Eastern philosophy and Buddhism quietly shaped his resilience, how sobriety unlocked new levels of self-awareness, and how the road tested him in unexpected ways. Chad also shares why community became a surprising highlight of the journey, with strangers showing up to support him in meaningful ways.Whether you're in recovery, chasing a big dream, or just curious what it takes to do something extraordinary, this conversation is an inspiring reminder that you're more capable than you think.Send us a text message.

JOHN 4:1-26 - WOMAN AT THE WELL - BRIAN SUMNER - 2025JOHN 4:1-26 "Therefore, when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John 2 (though Jesus Himself did not baptize, but His disciples), 3 He left Judea and departed again to Galilee. 4 But He needed to go through Samaria.5 So He came to a city of Samaria which is called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. 6 Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied from His journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.7 A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.” 8 For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.9 Then the woman of Samaria said to Him, “How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.10 Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.”11 The woman said to Him, “Sir, You have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Where then do You get that living water? 12 Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, as well as his sons and his livestock?”13 Jesus answered and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, 14 but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”15 The woman said to Him, “Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw.”16 Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”17 The woman answered and said, “I have no husband.”Jesus said to her, “You have well said, ‘I have no husband,' 18 for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; in that you spoke truly.”19 The woman said to Him, “Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where one ought to worship.”21 Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. 24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”25 The woman said to Him, “I know that Messiah is coming” (who is called Christ). “When He comes, He will tell us all things.”26 Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am He.”To support this channel and partner with Brian in Ministryhttps://www.briansumner.net/support/For more on Brianhttp://www.briansumner.nethttps://www.instagram.com/BRIANSUMNER/https://www.facebook.com/BRIANSUMNEROFFICIALTo listen to Brians Podcast, click below.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Purchase Brians Marriage book at https://www.amazon.com/Never-Fails-Da...Brian is a full time "Urban Missionary" both locally and internationally with a focus on MISSIONS - MARRIAGES - MINISTRY.

Skating Across America for Sobriety and Purpose In this week's Team Never Quit episode, Marcus and Melanie are joined by the incredible Chad Caruso — a skateboarder, YouTuber, and Guinness World Record holder who skated 3,000 miles across America in just 57 days, from Venice Beach, CA to Virginia Beach, VA. Chad didn't just break records — he used this cross-country journey to raise money for Natural High, a nonprofit youth drug prevention program, and to share his powerful story of overcoming addiction and injury. Skateboarding became more than a passion — it became a lifeline, helping Chad find sobriety, resilience, and purpose. In this episode Chad shares about: •His record-setting skate across the U.S. •What pushed him to keep going — physically, mentally, and emotionally •How skateboarding saved his life •His work raising awareness for addiction and mental health •The creation of his book, “Pushing Through America” •What's next in his mission to inspire and uplift others Chad's journey is one of grit, growth, and giving back. Whether you're a skater, in recovery, or just need a push to chase your own goals — this episode is for you. Follow Chad on Instagram: @chad_caruso Check out his book: Pushing Through America In This Episode You Will Hear: • I've been skateboarding for a little over 25 years. That's really all I've devoted my life to. (3:19) • I definitely recommend finishing school. (5:36) • It doesn't happen overnight. You go to a party here, a party there. Then you're 26, 28. The habit thing. I didn't want to be a part of the system. I was just all about rebelling. (7:40) • That was the real turning point [when facing jail time] I had to look around and say “Alright, what are you doin?” (10:02) • [I got into the Guinness Book of World Records] It was this year. (13:30) • It's nice to get the pat on the back, but ultimately, it was about much more than that. It was about giving up the drinking, focusing on something positive. I did the Skate Across America to raise money for charity. (13:40) • When you're at the start line it's all fun. Everyone's there filming, talking, it's exciting. Then you push off, and then a couple of miles in, you're like “Oh, I'm gonna be doing this for the next 2 months. (18:32) • [I completed the entire distance with] 1 board; I didn't change the wheels or the bearings, or anything. (23:56) • Even if it's way slower than you normally go, if you keep treading that ground, you're gonna make it there. (28:55) • I figured out that if I skate head-on to trucks, like tractor trailers; they're coming at me at 70 mph. If I made myself seen, I could take over the whole lane. So, I would basically play chicken with them, and wave them out of the way. (30:14) • [At the finish] The mayor put his hand up for a high five. I skated right past him, I didn't even notice. (35:23) • “If you keep pushing, you're gonna get there.” (36:17) • When you're out there alone for so many hours, all the noise of society and people's opinions kinda fades away.
