How Splinters Does Beatdown :The Metal Maniacs Podcast- 96This week on *The Metal Maniacs Podcast*, Jay and Modd dive headfirst into the blistering chaos of Detroit's very own **Splinters**—a heavy beatdown band that's been steadily carving a name for themselves in the Midwest scene with raw energy, vicious breakdowns, and unapologetic emotion.We sit down with the band to talk about their origins, inspirations, and relentless pursuit of sonic heaviness. From their first demos in 2021 to their latest single "Broken" in 2025, Splinters has showcased growth, aggression, and a DIY drive that defines the underground spirit of Michigan metal.- **Nick Ehrlich** – Vocals - **Tyler** – Guitar - **Casey** – Bass- **Billy Ehrlich** – DrumsWe kick things off with the **inception of Splinters**, the meaning behind their name, and how this group of musicians forged a sound that mixes beatdown, metalcore, hardcore, and even elements of thrash and electronics.

Splinters, thorns, prickers. It doesn't matter what they are called, they hurt and get under your skin! Life in our world is filled with thorns: difficult relationships, illness, loss of loved ones, broken promises. The Bible tells us that even the Apostle Paul and God Himself in Jesus struggled under the bite of thorns. But God does not allow thorns in our lives without providing sufficient grace to live in the prickly mess. What Satan intends to push us down often results in pushing us to our knees in front of God's throne instead. “You who wore my thorns that I may know Your grace…pierced by my sin that I may see Your face…loved and forgiven from shame and deep disgrace. You wore my thorns. You wore my thorns.” (from Jill's poem “You Wore My Thorns” copyright 2003) To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1141/29

 Audio recordingSermon manuscript:I remember being very distressed by splinters when I was a kid. Splinters are not terribly serious. You won't die from having a splinter. They do cause a bit of discomfort, but what's far worse, is that the splinter has to come out. To get the splinter out, the finger must be turned over to an adult. What might the adult do? Armed with a needle or tweezers, the adult must dig around in there until the splinter comes out. I remember asking, “Can't we just leave the splinter in there?” I didn't like how the splinter ached, but I more disliked the much sharper pain involved with getting it out. I think this is helpful for what can happen to us spiritually. Just as it is by no means unusual that a kid gets a splinter while playing, it is very common to fall into sin. Just as a kid regrets doing what he was doing whereby he got the splinter, so also a person can regret having sinned. The advantage or the pleasure of the sin soon passes, and we are left with a dull ache. We've disappointed ourselves. We thought that we were better than that. Maybe we'd promised ourselves, “Never again!” and now look at what we've done. What a shame. But besides that dull ache of disappointment, the splinter of sin doesn't hurt too badly. It's nothing compared to the much sharper pain of being caught. That is very embarrassing. So our natural reaction is to try to manage sin on our own. We'll cover it up. We'll lie about it if we have to. Eventually, with the passage of enough time, we'll forget about it—and that's a relief. If we manage to pass though this experience without too much pain, we might draw the conclusion that our sins didn't harm us. We got a splinter, but—like we so hoped for when we were children—it didn't need to come out. It seemed to have gone away on its own. With splinters we can easily see the childishness of believing that it will just go away on its own. The splinter will cause infection. The poison of infection will spread. The more time passes, the worse it will get. The splinter must come out. We are not as good at seeing how childish it is to believe that sins won't harm us. Just as a splinter inevitably has an effect on the health of a finger, so also sins have an effect on the soul. Think back to the sins that you committed even when you were a little kid—3, 4, 5 years old. Sins darken the mind. They create a habit of lying. Already at a young age we can easily draw the conclusion that sins will not harm us so long as we do not get caught. But sins are nasty and ugly, full of puss and consequences. Unlike splinters, which only affect the person who has them, sins affect others. One person's nastiness draws out the nastiness of another. The bible shows that sin affects the whole community. The entire people of Israel needed to be cleansed when only a portion had sinned. Therefore we should not be so nonchalant to think that sins cannot affect a congregation, a classroom, a workplace, a family, or a couple. Sins are no child's play. However, a very powerful spiritual force fights against this understanding of sin. It is far worse enemy of Christianity than evolution or wokeism or whatever other boogeymen Christians might fear. This spiritual force does everything within its power to lull people to sleep with gentle phrases about the harmlessness of sin. It says, for example, “All this fuss and bother about sin is counterproductive. If we want the church to grow we must focus on other things! What's the use of sticking with old fashioned morals when even the old fashioned couldn't keep them? Or Jesus's commands: aren't they unreasonable? Show me one person who forgives, who gives, who is without anger or lust.” And maybe I haven't quite caught the tune that would make you shut your eyes to the seriousness of sins, but I know that tune is out there, because we human beings all have the same basic hope. Somewhere in all of us is the hope that our sins won't matter. Our sins aren't deadly. We can manage them without any great change. There is no need to go through the sharp pain of repenting them. Just leave them be and hope for the best. When people believe that sins do not matter, that they do not cause much harm, then the devil has won. This is exactly how the devil wants us to deal with our sins. He wants us to believe that sins are fine or natural or funny or unimportant. Everybody does them, so what's the harm? He'll blabber on and on until he finds something that sticks. And he'll find it too, because, as I've said, there is a part of all of us that wants to believe the splinter does not need to be taken out. The devil starts to lose his grip on people when they move from not caring to caring. This happens when people start to hate the splinter, start to hate sin. So long as people believe that they can peacefully coexist with sin, they remain in the devil's grip. But sometimes people get sick of the muck and guck and puss and stench of sin. People hate the lovelessness, the chaos, the shame, the hatred, the broken relationships. They get sick of that splinter that has caused them so much grief. They want the splinter out! This is when tax collectors, prostitutes, drug addicts, liars, porn addicts, alcoholics, scrooges—losers of all kinds—might turn to Christ. They hate their life which has been ruined by sin. They want something else. They long for healing, and they are willing to humble themselves in order to get it. The fundamental posture of all disciples is always the same. It's the posture we see in people in the Gospels. People came to Jesus who were blind, deaf, lame, mute, demon-possessed—absolutely wretched. They said, “Jesus, help me!” It is the same posture of those who hate their lives, hate themselves, hate their sins, hate the splinters with all their puss and filth. “Jesus, heal me!” When such people come to believe that Jesus forgives them, that Jesus died for them, that Jesus will make them better, they then hate all the more the devil with his practically infinite lies, all of which minimize the importance of sin. On the other hand, they begin to like what God has commanded and taught—stuff that they formerly might have rejected and fought against. They've been converted. They renounce the devil and all his works and all his ways, and they have embraced a new Lord and God from whom they want help. They no longer want to be on the side of sin and lies and false hope. They want to be on the side that fights sin, that's true, that embraces the light, even though it means that they have fallen into the strong and terrifying hands of God. If suffer they must, then suffer they will! Suffering is by no means the worst thing. Health, life, truth—that is to say, God's kingdom—this is what they want. What I've spoken about today—a kind of insanely long introduction—is an attempt to get at something that otherwise might be difficult to understand about our Gospel reading. Our Gospel reading talks about how John the Baptist's preaching was successful, particularly among those whom you'd think would be the most resistant. John was successful among the unwashed masses. Why did John the Baptist come to be loved by the tax collectors and sinners? Was it because John the Baptist told them that they were fine just as they were? That their sins didn't matter? No. Just the opposite.   John hated sin. He wasn't scared of it either. He didn't believe that it was inevitable or invincible or any other garbage that the devil likes to say about sin. John himself couldn't really do anything about sin, but he was an ambassador for Jesus, who was coming after him, whose sandal strap he was unworthy to untie. The Christ is the only one who forgives sins. He promises to wash away all the stains and puss and filth for the life to come. So, to use the analogy we've been working with today, John was someone who would speak the truth. He would say, “That's a splinter. That needs to come out. You'll be sorry if it doesn't.” Since we all know the pain of getting a splinter out, we can understand why some people hated John. They preferred their false belief to the truth of God's Word that—even though painful—would have helped them. But some people loved the possibilities that opened up by the Word of God that John spoke. They were so full of splinters, they were so sick of the consequences of their sins, that they embraced John's baptism for the forgiveness of their sins. They didn't want to go on with the misery of loneliness, helplessness, and hopelessness. They wanted health, life, and light. They wanted Jesus to be their king instead of the devil. Disciples of Jesus show up in the most unexpected of places. All of us, including me, have our splinters. They are not cute. They are not harmless. Even if we manage to forget them, they don't stop silently pumping out their poison. They have to come out. How? We can't do it ourselves. We can't get deep enough. We have to turn ourselves over to the adult, so to speak. We have to turn ourselves over to Jesus. That requires courage. What will he do? Is that a needle or a tweezers I see? But don't be too afraid. Jesus is good at what he does. He is the good physician who has come to heal those who are sick, who have need of him as a physician.

Splinters, thorns, prickers. It doesn't matter what they are called, they hurt and get under your skin! Life in our world is filled with thorns: difficult relationships, illness, loss of loved ones, broken promises. The Bible tells us that even the Apostle Paul and God Himself in Jesus struggled under the bite of thorns. But God does not allow thorns in our lives without providing sufficient grace to live in the prickly mess. What Satan intends to push us down often results in pushing us to our knees in front of God's throne instead.

Hi friends, Amy here.There won't be an actual audio release this week and here's why… we met up in person and celebrated our birthdays together, made some drinks, opened some presents, and just chatted about life. But as a result, some might find the sound quality of the finished product pretty hard to listen to. There are lots of extra sounds because, when we meet in person we tend to get a little more animated than when we're on our computers at our own homes. So we emphasized by banging hands on the table and even the mics occasionally. You can also hear the shaking of martinis. On top of that, since we had to sit so close together in order to all be on camera, our voices are picked up in each other's mics. I did my best to fix that in post, but I'm not totally happy with it. So I'm not going to release an audio version of this one. It's definitely a visual episode anyway. So mix yourself up a Ghost Bride Martini (from Amy Bruni's new book, Food to Die For) and head over to YouTube or Spotify and watch the video version. YouTube: https://bit.ly/TAC_videos Spotify: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theactivitycontinues In that we chatted about Paint by Numbers sets, drunk online shopping and the smell of books. Megan argues with AP regarding the length of her work commute (AP's not Megan's), Amy gives a review of a newly re-opened local restaurant, and AP tells us about her solo vacation to the Pacific Northwest. We also talk a little about religion, casseroles, and our possible past lives, which is a spoiler for our episode with Jenny the Psychic that will be out in a few weeks. And remember, if you like Moscato, drink Moscato!We'll see you next week for our live show! Stay spooky! Credits:Hosted by: Amy Lotsberg, Megan Simmons, and Amy PiersakProduction, Artwork, and Editing: Amy Lotsberg at Collected Sounds Media, LLC.Intro music: “Sawdust and Splinters” by Martin KlemSS Outro Music: “Sea Clown” by Martin KlemJoin our Ghosty Fam over on Patron, https://www.patreon.com/theactivitycontinues/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/tac/donations

This week we are talking about bands that have rock stars in them: Supergroups and Offshoots. Captain Content reminds us that a band consisting of well-known artists from other bands does not always equal great success. We dive into some of the more obscure supergroups and offshoots that didn't break with huge mainstream success or stay around very long.What is it we do here at InObscuria? Every show Kevin opens the crypt to exhume and dissect from his personal collection; an artist, album, or collection of tunes from the broad spectrum of rock, punk, and metal. This week we talk exclusively about Supergroups featuring famous solo artists and band members along with, Offshoots which are bands that contain the bulk of a previous incarnation of a famous band. We hope that we turn you on to something new.Songs this week include:Neurotic Outsiders – “Nasty Ho” from Neurotic Outsiders (1996)Thrasher – “Bad Boys” from Thrasher (1985)Heavy Bones – “4:AM T-M” from Heavy Bones (1991)Ultra Bomb – “Time To Burn” from Time To Burn (2022)Saints Of The Underground - “Tomorrow Never Comes” from Love The Sin, Hate The Sinner (2008)Mad Season – “Lifeless Dead” from Above (1995)Far Corporation – “Stairway To Heaven” from Division One (1985)Please subscribe everywhere that you listen to podcasts!Visit us: https://inobscuria.com/https://www.facebook.com/InObscuriahttps://x.com/inobscuriahttps://www.instagram.com/inobscuria/Buy cool stuff with our logo on it!: https://www.redbubble.com/people/InObscuria?asc=uIf you'd like to check out Kevin's band THE SWEAR, take a listen on all streaming services or pick up a digital copy of their latest release here: https://theswear.bandcamp.com/If you want to hear Robert and Kevin's band from the late 90s – early 00s BIG JACK PNEUMATIC, check it out here: https://bigjackpnuematic.bandcamp.com/Check out Robert's amazing fire sculptures and metal workings here: http://flamewerx.com/

We have a shorty for you this week. Since we don't usually talk politics, we didn't have much to say this week (check the recording date if you don't know what we're referring to). We talked about what it means when your ears ring, we have an update on the Patio Saga, and somehow, we ended up talking about trees. Like, a lot. We also touch on our appreciation for the Irwin family and how Robert's IG page is instant serotonin. We even have a little joke for you, thanks to our Patron Shannon. So, grab your beverage of choice, and join us where… The Sideshow begins. This is the conversation we had after recording episode 121. Be sure to listen to the episode of The Activity Continues that followed this discussion. We met with Zoey our friend and Patron and learned all about her abilities and gifts. She told some fun stories and we laughed a lot. That episode will be released on August 29, 2024. Content Warning:At the end of this episode we mention a child that is in need of some good vibes due to an accident.

This week we're all over the map. What a shock! Please vote for our show in the 19th Annual Podcast Awards (www.podcastawards.com)AP started (and ended) her rap career and has an important question for bedsheet manufacturers in the US. Megan gives us some reading recommendations and prepares for losing her right hand. And Amy tells of her GenX concert adventure on a school night. We also delve into a conversation about a certain nail company that we like, and it ends up sounding more and more like an ad. We promise, as of July 2, 2024, we do not have a deal with them. So, grab your canned espresso martini, and join us where… The Sideshow begins. Be sure to listen to the episode of The Activity Continues that followed this discussion.That one is our last Chilly Chat episode. In that we recapped The Dead Files episode called “Arctic Wrath” from Season 1. That episode will be out August 15, 2024. Chapter Markers - note these may be off by a minute depending on what might play before the episode starts.00:00:00 Intro00:00:07 AP's short rap career00:00:56 Podcast Awards Announcement00:03:31 An unintended Olive and June “ad”00:07:54 AP's Sheets Beef00:09:39 Amy's New Fave Drink00:10:26 Effects of Caffeine in young people00:12:30 Megan Prepping for losing a hand00:13:39 Megan's Book Club00:15:31 Olympic Trials and People's wives00:21:59 Amy's GenX Concert Night00:27:51 Megan's Meds Update00:29:42 Goodbye!Content Warning:We didn't find anything we thought deserved a content warning, but we still swear.The Activity Continues, our main even show, is a paranormal podcast where soul friends, Amy, Megan, and AP chat about pets, true crime, ghost stories, haunts, dreams, and other paranormal stuff including the TV show, The Dead Files.

It's a fun first-road edition of the GPYNM Podcasts. There were good laughs, drunk tears, and an overall great time with even better friends back in 507. 

WE CHAT ABOUR REMOVING SPLINTERS, WITH KNIVES.

(Luke 6:39-4) You cannot help others with the sin in their lives while you have sin in your life. You cannot teach others what you have not learned; neither can you spiritually help others when you are being hindered by sin. Find cleansing today by confessing your hypocrisy to the Lord.  (0895240419)  Download our Study Guide for the Parables of Jesus: https://enjoyingthejourney.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/2404-15-Parables-of-Jesus-FLYER-web.pdf

Dylan and Connor are joined by Emmy nominee Zoe Kazan (Doubt, She Said, The Big Sick). The twins are gagged to be in the presence of this movie star, playwright, screenwriter, actress, and icon. After a wellness check, these fast friends chat about Zoe's return to Broadway in Doubt: A Parable. Zoe gives flowers to her inspiring cast-mates, especially the trio of women who donned the habit of Sister Aloysius: Tyne Daly, Isabel Keating, and Amy Ryan. Does she have Doubts? We go there, y'all! Our fabulous convo also gets into Zoe's experience working on She Said, and her beautiful friendship with Carey Mulligan, which goes back to being dressing roommates in The Seagull on Broadway. A full circle ring of keys with Tyne Daly, growing up in the city of stars, and Zoe's writing career are all covered. Other tidbits include a little Angels in America, if she'd do a play with her partner Paul Dano, and some scoop on her upcoming 8-part adaption of East of Eden (and Miss Flo's involvement!). Connor raves about his latest work project The Who's Tommy, while Dylan and Zoe plug RuPaul's The House of Hidden Meanings and Leslie Jaminson's Splinters, respectively. What an honor and a gift to have Zoe on DRAMA.
