Seminary Update and Book Reviews: Women in Leadership, Political Exile, and Healing or Harm from Misused Scripture Diana shares an update on her seminary studies toward a Master of Divinity to become a hospital chaplain. She explains why she has not republished older episodes and then recommends three books: Preston Sprinkle's From Genesis to Junia, which she is midway through and says is readable yet scholarly on what the Bible says about women in leadership, highlighting many biblical women and themes of servant leadership; Sprinkle's Exiles, on Christians' identity as foreigners whose allegiance is to King Jesus rather than partisan politics; and Dr. Steven Tracy's To Heal Or Harm, focused on how misused scripture can wound abuse survivors and how to apply the Bible redemptively.  00:00 Podcast Welcome 00:33 Life Update and School 06:09 Colorado Conference Plug 07:12 Making Time to Read 08:26 Book Review Genesis to Junia 12:18 Women Leaders in Scripture 22:49 Book Review Exiles 28:04 Book Review To Heal Or Harm 34:22 Mending the Soul Mission 36:43 Wrap Up and Resources 38:57 Closing and Subscribe

Countdown timers are dying. Not literally. They'll still work. But they're becoming the marketing equivalent of a used car salesman yelling "ACT NOW!" through a megaphone. In this solo episode of The Expert Edge, I break down the shift from dopamine marketing to oxytocin marketing. Ryan Levesque and Ron Reich call it the future of launches. I call it the only way to build a real moat around your business. Here's the thing: AI can write your emails now. It can create your sales pages. It can produce polished content faster than you can say "ChatGPT." So if you're competing on polish, you've already lost. But AI can't build trust. It can't share your scars. It can't send a shaky iPhone video from your car talking about the thing you've never shared publicly before. That's your moat. That's what separates you from the 10,000 other coaches saying the same thing with the same funnel and the same countdown timer. I walk through four strategies to build connection that actually converts. Not hype. Not urgency. Just real human trust that makes people want to work with you. What you'll learn: → Talk to one real customer (not a made-up avatar) - Stop describing demographics. Find Jack. Learn about Jenny. Build your webinar for real people, not "men aged 25-35" → Open the kimono (share the personal stuff you've been holding back) - Send a vulnerable video with no CTA on the last day of your launch. Just you sharing something real → Reveal the roughs (show the sketches, not just the polished product) - Hand-drawn frameworks, messy first drafts, visible stitching. The rough builds trust more than AI polish → Sprinkle some sweat (do the unscalable) - Personal Bonjoro videos, live onboarding calls, real emails. The unscalable is what makes you different Real insights from the episode: Why I still use real deadlines (Premium Private Clients starts June 1st) but don't lean on urgency as the main selling point The "single and ready to mingle" moment (and why playfulness creates oxytocin) How I send personal videos to new clients and why they say "I've never had the founder reach out like this" The vulnerable video strategy for closed cart day (no CTA, just connection) Why showing rough sketches and hand-drawn frameworks builds more trust than perfect AI-generated graphics How live coaching in my programs creates connection AI can't replicate The two types of people joining Premium Private Clients (established coaches adding $15-30K/month, newer coaches who struggled to sell courses) I'm running a six-week coaching cohort called Premium Private Clients. It's the exact system I've used for 17 years to make $300K-$500K a year from a handful of clients. I'm teaching how to attract them, build an audition funnel, convert at 90%, and design a program you actually enjoy. First cohort is 50% off. Limited spots.  >>>PREMIUM PRIVATE CLIENT COHORT: Go to colinboyd.co/highticket and sign up now.  My goal? Help you add $100K-$300K a year with just 2-3 clients at a time.

When asked how you're doing, do you thoughtlessly respond, “I'm good!”? Are you being truthful? Are you really okay? Sometimes we fail to see the ways that we're struggling, even though the body is constantly communicating with us. Feelings of anxiety, depression, fear, and anger manifest in all sorts of creative ways through our physical selves. If we really want to live healthy and abundant lives, we must heed the body's signals. As we listen to the singsong of the birds, consider what your body might be trying to tell you in this season of life.  What am I reading?Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burkehttps://bookshop.org/a/111301/9780593804216The Cortisol Reset Plan: The Complete Guide to Balancing Your Hormones, Reversing Weight Gain, and Restoring Nervous System Health by Marina Wrighthttps://bookshop.org/a/111301/9780063436275https://bookshop.org/shop/witchywomanwalkingWhat's playing on repeat?Dani California by Red Hot Chili Peppers What's for dinner?Thai Edamame Cabbage SaladIngredients:1 cup quinoa well rinsed and drainedMarinated tofu, diced 1 1/2 cups water1/2 teaspoon salt1 carrot peeled and shredded1 cucumber chopped1 cup frozen edamame thawed6 green onions chopped2 cups shredded red cabbage1 tablespoon soy sauce1/4 cup lime juice2 tablespoons sugar1 tablespoon vegetable oil1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger1 tablespoon sesame oilpinch of red pepper flakes1/2 cup peanuts chopped1/4 cup freshly chopped cilantro2 tablespoons chopped basilInstructions:Add quinoa, water, and salt to the pressure cooking pot.

April 25, 2026Today's Reading: Mark 16:14-20Daily Lectionary: Exodus 40:17-38; Leviticus 1:1-7:38; Luke 8:40-56“Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved.” (Mark 16:16) In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. What a remarkable promise by Jesus here in Mark 16:16. Baptism saves. How can that be?  We'll get to that in a moment. But first, let's review. What makes a Baptism a Baptism? Answer: water and God's Word. How much water? Jesus never says. Sprinkle? Sure. Immerse? If you want to. As long as you use water. No confetti. No rose petals. Water! Attached or hooked to the water is the all-authority-in-heaven-and-earth-Lord-Jesus' mandate: “in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,” (Matthew 28:19. Not, “creator, redeemer and sanctifier.” Not “creator, liberator, and sustainer.” You are baptized when the water is applied with the divine mandate Word (“in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit”). What divine Gift does the Triune God give you in holy Baptism according to Matthew 28:19? It is the divine and saving name! And with His name, the Triune God gives Himself to the baptized. Promises to be God for her. Promises to act as God for her. So, to be baptized in the Triune name is to be baptized by the Triune God Himself.  Baptized in the divine and saving name of the Trinity, it is no surprise that the New Testament extols salvational benefits like Jesus does in Mark 16:16. Check out the following passages and note the benefits such as forgiveness and washing away of sin, Gift of the Holy Spirit, rebirth, justification, sanctification, etc.: Acts 2:38-39; 22:16; Romans 6:3-4; 1 Corinthians 6:11; Ephesians 5:26; Galatians 3:27; Titus 3:5-7; John 3:3-5; 1 Peter 3:18-22. All those benefits flow from the divine and saving name given to the baptized. This is why the Large Catechism correctly taught: “This is the simplest way to put it: the power, effect, benefit, fruit, and purpose of Baptism is that it saves.” Oh, in addition, let's not forget that Peter declares that Baptism and all its salvific benefits are for “for you, and for your children and for all” (Acts 2:39)! And there's more: the words “for you” require all hearts to believe. Peter wants you to take this Gift personally.  “Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved,” Jesus promises. Faith does not make a Baptism a Baptism. Faith receives what Baptism gives so that it may be beneficial for the baptized, as Jesus promises. Always use Jesus' promise of Mark 16 against your sin, Satan, and guilty conscience by saying: “But I am baptized! And if I have been baptized, I have the promise that I shall be saved and have eternal life, both in soul and body,” (Large Catechism).  In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. All who believe and are baptized Shall see the Lord's salvation Baptized into the death of Christ They are a new creation Through Christ's redemption they shall stand Among the glorious heav'nly band Of every tribe and nation (LSB 601:1) 

What does the Bible actually say about women in church leadership—and are we asking the wrong questions? In this episode, Dru Johnson sits down with biblical scholar Preston Sprinkle to explore the complex, often misunderstood topic of gender roles in Scripture. Drawing from his book From Genesis to Junia, Sprinkle shares his “exegetical journey,” a multi-year study that avoids predetermined conclusions and instead carefully examines key biblical texts. Together, they challenge modern assumptions often imposed on Scripture, including Western ideas about equality, hierarchy, and leadership. The conversation highlights how women are portrayed throughout the Bible—from influential figures in the Old Testament to faithful disciples in the Gospels—and why these narratives matter for interpreting passages like 1 Timothy 2. They also unpack how leadership functioned in the early church, revealing a more fluid and diverse structure than many assume today. Rather than offering simplistic answers, this episode invites listeners to wrestle with the full biblical witness, appreciate its complexity, and approach the conversation with humility, patience, and deeper study. Whether you're complementarian, egalitarian, or still exploring, this discussion offers fresh insight into one of the church's most debated topics.

Make them models of virtuein the service of God’s people.Help them to be prayerful in meditations,effective in preaching, and enthusiasticin the daily offering of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.Help them to administer the sacraments with joy. ***** RECIPES FROM RITA: PERPETUAL COLANDER SALAD GARDEN Find inexpensive colanders at thrift or dollar stores. As far as what to grow, choices are endless. You can plant a single variety of greens or a mix. Let the little ones help you choose. Depending on the depth, you can also plant radishes and carrots. Or how about strawberries? Line a colander with coffee filters to keep soil in and allow good drainage. Or use a plastic baggy and poke holes in it for drainage Tape coffee filters/baggies if necessary to adhere to colander.. Pour soil in 3/4 of the way up. Tamp down to smooth. Water gently but thoroughly. Sprinkle seeds evenly over surface. You can sprinkle on a good amount of seeds if using lettuces. If using carrots or radishes, do less since they need room to grow under the top soil. Pour a tiny bit of soil on top of seeds, just enough to cover. Tamp down gently. Add label and date. You can simply tape the seed packet on a popsicle stick. Place in sunny spot. Outside or in – depending upon weather. If outside and it’s raining a lot bring it in. Water as needed. The first few days you won’t have to water. Keep evenly moist but not soggy. Watch closely — in a week or so you’ll see all those tiny seeds sprouting. Some varieties of lettuces and radishes are ready to eat in 3 weeks For the lettuce garden, as the greens grow, cut at soil level. New growth appears in a few days. Waste not want not! Even if you don’t grow a colander garden, you can grow lettuce from cores! Best kinds to use are romaine and leaf lettuces. Place a 1-2 inch lettuce stem in a shallow bowl with half an inch of water, ensuring the leaves remain above water. Set it on a sunny windowsill, changing the water every 2 days to prevent rot. Leaves will emerge in days. This works for celery, too! ***** Full list of guestsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you've ever stood in front of a microwave wondering if 2:30 is enough time to reheat your questionable leftovers… congratulations, you're already mentally prepared for this episode.Episode 158 of The Rizzuto Show is a full-blown funny podcast experience where the conversations spiral faster than your patience waiting for food to heat up. The crew kicks things off with an oddly passionate debate about leftover timing (which somehow turns into a breakdown of Cypress Hill's song length strategy — because obviously those are connected). From there, it's straight into 420 territory with a rundown of food deals that range from “actually decent” to “this feels like a trap.”But this isn't just a food-and-stoner episode — oh no. We pivot hard into Rock & Roll Hall of Fame drama, including bands skipping their own induction like they've got better things to do (which… they do). Then it's off to Coachella, where the crew dives into the insane scale of the festival, the money machine behind it, and why watching from your couch might actually be the superior life choice.Of course, no funny podcast episode would be complete without celebrity chaos. We've got music legends, awkward performances, a One Direction situation that escalates way too quickly, and just enough gossip to remind you that fame does not equal good decision-making. Sprinkle in a questionable “best stoner movies” list, some nostalgic radio talk, and a few moments where even the crew questions how they got there… and you've got Episode 158.It's messy, it's sarcastic, it's all over the place — and somehow it all works.

This episode of The Rizzuto Show is what happens when a funny podcast goes completely off the rails and nobody bothers to stop it.We kick things off with a story that will absolutely ruin your appetite (and possibly your will to live): a woman sneezes… and worms come flying out of her nose. Not metaphorical worms. Not “ugh, allergies.” Actual, wiggling, horror-movie nightmare fuel. Naturally, we lean into it way too hard and spiral into discussions about parasites, pinworms, and the kind of parenting discoveries nobody prepares you for.From there, things somehow get worse—in a good way. We break down actual scientific research about whose farts smell worse (yes, this is real science, and yes, we take it very seriously like mature adults). The conversation quickly devolves into personal trauma, family bathroom horror stories, and the realization that dads everywhere have committed crimes against humanity in poorly ventilated spaces.Then we pivot—because of course we do—into a wild Everest scam where guides were literally poisoning climbers to fake emergency rescues and cash in on insurance payouts. So if you thought climbing the tallest mountain on Earth sounded dangerous already, good news: it's worse.And just when you think we've hit peak absurdity, we uncover a toothpaste lawsuit involving mold, corporate deception, and the crushing realization that your “all-natural” lifestyle might be a lie. Sprinkle in a sugar baby scam targeting rich dudes with zero self-control, and you've got a funny podcast that covers more ground than it probably should.It's gross, it's ridiculous, it's occasionally informative—and it's exactly what you signed up for.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week on Another Pass, Sam and Case are joined by their very own editor Sophia Ricciardi to take on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014)! We dig into the film's bold redesigns, chaotic energy, and whether this modern take on the Heroes in a Half Shell captures what makes the Turtles work—or misses the mark entirely. #AnotherPass #TMNT #TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles #SophiaRicciardi #MoviePodcast #FascinatingButFlawed Another Pass Full Episode Originally aired: April 10, 2026 Music by Vin Macri and Matt Brogan Podcast Edited by Sophia Ricciardi Certain Point Of View is a podcast network brining you all sorts of nerdy goodness!

Character Design Issues: Turtles' designs were criticized as grotesque, reducing relatability and making action scenes less believable. Storytelling Problems: Over-explained plots, especially regarding April O'Neil and Eric Sacks, bogged down the movie's pacing and clarity. Setting Conflicts: The film's setting away from New York City limited key identity elements and iconic landmarks associated with the turtles. Mixed Reception of Cast: Alan Ritchson as Raphael received praise, while others like Johnny Knoxville and Megan Fox faced criticism for their roles. Cultural Context Matters: The film reflected a 2014 era not fully embracing nerd culture, impacting its creative choices and audience reception.   Notes Production and Narrative Challenges This 2014 Ninja Turtles movie struggled with a lack of creative love and identity, making it feel like a disjointed and ashamed adaptation of the franchise (00:00). Identity Crisis and Shame Factor heavily influenced the movie's tone and plot, with the film almost dropping the "Teenage Mutant" part and considering alien origins for the turtles (11:31). The film's producers inserted convoluted backstory elements mid-production to "course correct" a script that initially strayed far from the core Ninja Turtles mythos. This led to an over-explained, bogged-down narrative that felt like a "walk of shame" rather than an embrace of the IP's strengths. The era's mainstream culture had not fully embraced nerd properties, causing awkward attempts at modernization and distancing. Plot Bloat and Over-Explanation detracted from the movie's pacing and engagement, especially with April O'Neil's bloated and often unconvincing reporter storyline (20:53). Scenes focus too long on generic Michael Bay-style action and April's personal struggles rather than on the turtles themselves. The turtles are introduced late and spend much of the runtime as shadowy figures rather than engaging characters. Convoluted Villain Backstory with Eric Sacks as an unnecessary intermediary between Shredder and the turtles, adding complexity that did not improve the story (01:10:14). Removing or significantly trimming Sacks' role was proposed as a way to streamline the narrative. Mismatch in Tone and Style was evident, with the movie trying to be serious and gritty while relying on CGI-heavy, unrealistic action sequences that lacked tangible physicality (35:42). The film's heavy use of CGI and complex mech suit for Shredder overshadowed traditional martial arts choreography that defines the franchise. Character and Design Issues The film's character portrayals and designs undermined the essence of the Ninja Turtles, alienating fans and harming engagement (28:35). Turtle Designs Were Widely Disliked for being oversized, grotesque, and overly detailed with "human teeth" that made them less relatable and more monstrous (29:50). Their giant size and bulletproof nature reduced the importance of their ninja skills and made fight scenes less believable. Complex textures and too many visual details caused action scenes to become "CGI mush," making it hard to focus on key movements. Character Imbalance and Focus on Raphael turned the movie into essentially a Raphael-centric story, sidelining the other turtles and undermining the team dynamic (56:20). Alan Ritchson's portrayal of Raphael was praised as the best casting and performance in the film. Other turtles like Leonardo and Donatello were underused; Michelangelo was poorly written as an overly sexualized and annoying character. April O'Neil's Role and Writing were criticized for being unconvincing and bloated, with her professional competence and motivations feeling unrealistic and distracting (26:00). The forced "chosen one" connection between April and the turtles was seen as unnecessary and cheapened her acceptance of them. Supporting Characters like Will Arnett's cameraman were noted as relatively decent additions, providing human perspective and some humor without overwhelming the story (48:42). Setting and Visual Context The movie's setting choices and visual style weakened the core appeal of the franchise, distancing it from the turtles' iconic New York City roots (43:58). Misplaced Setting Outside New York City for large portions of the movie conflicted with the turtles' identity as New York City teens and vigilantes (44:50). Much of the film occurs in an ambiguous upstate New York mansion and mountain, disconnected from the urban environment central to the turtles' story. This choice limited opportunities to showcase iconic city landmarks and the turtles' connection to their home turf. Visual Style Reflects 2010s Orange-Teal Trend, which while vibrant, was harsh and contributed to a stylized look that did not fit the tone of the movie (16:45). Snowboarding and Chase Sequences were seen as fun and reminiscent of video game-inspired action but felt out of place and disconnected from the turtles' core habitat (48:42). These sequences resembled arcade game levels rather than integrated story moments. Proposed Fixes and Editorial Improvements A major consensus was that the movie could be improved significantly by cutting down excess plot and focusing much earlier and more on the turtles themselves (01:09:02). Streamline April's Story and Cut Eric Sacks to reduce narrative bloat and confusing backstory (01:10:14). Compress April's investigation into one clear sequence, eliminating multiple instances of Foot Clan encounters and confusing plot threads. Remove or minimize Sacks to focus villainy on Shredder and the Foot Clan. Introduce the Turtles Sooner and Add More Teenage Interactions to showcase their personalities and team dynamics earlier in the movie (01:10:14). Incorporate scenes like the elevator banter to emphasize their teenage traits and humor. Sprinkle in more Foot Clan fights to build suspense and showcase ninja action throughout. Focus on Making the Final Third Action-Packed but Clear, allowing the action sequences to flow without unnecessary interruptions (01:10:14). Keep the fight choreography that works, such as the Shredder vs. Splinter sequence, while trimming excess. Possible Reshoots or Edits to downplay or rework problematic story elements like April's "chosen one" status and the lab origin flashbacks (01:19:47). Use existing footage more efficiently to maintain story coherence while trimming excess. Emphasize Fun and Character Chemistry earlier to avoid the film feeling "all tension" and "boring" (01:15:07). Add small moments of levity, camaraderie, and ninja antics before the big action scenes. Maintain Realistic Expectations about how much could be changed given the film's production timeline and 2014-era constraints (01:25:21). Cast and Performances Certain casting choices were praised while others detracted from the film's overall impact on character believability (03:51). Alan Ritchson as Raphael was widely considered the best fit and performance, capturing Raphael's classic loner and heartfelt traits well (51:05). His emotional speech and portrayal of Raphael's arc were highlights. Johnny Knoxville as Leonardo was underused and miscast, with his limited screen time failing to do justice to the character (53:34). Megan Fox's April O'Neil was critiqued for lacking investment and acting strength, which weakened the emotional core of her storyline (24:35). Will Arnett's Cameraman Character was a positive surprise, providing light humor and a grounded human viewpoint without dominating the narrative (48:42). Whoopi Goldberg's Role was underutilized and seen as wasted potential given her talent (28:35). Franchise and Cultural Context The film reflects the cultural and franchise environment of the early 2010s, impacting its creative choices and reception (14:07). 2014 Era Nerd Culture Not Fully Embraced, leading to awkward attempts at modernization and distancing from the core turtle identity (14:07). The movie's shame about being a Ninja Turtles film echoes similar issues seen in early Transformers films. Comparisons with Other Ninja Turtles Iterations show this movie as weaker, especially compared to its sequel and animated projects like Mutant Mayhem that clearly love the source material (02:41). The sequel "Turtles Out of the Shadows" was noted as far more fun and faithful. Discussion of the Franchise's Multi-Generational Appeal highlighted the turtles' ability to adapt but also underscored the risk of losing core essence through unnecessary changes (06:18). Audience Distrust and Over-Explanation reflects a production that did not trust viewers to accept the turtles as they are, leading to excessive exposition and forced justifications (18:04). Product Placement and Minor Details like Windows Phones on characters' devices were noted as subtle but fun touches (01:02:00).

Anxiety has a way of creeping up on us. Sometimes the source of our unease is easy to pinpoint, while others times it seems to bubble up without cause. The natural tendency is to push away the anxious thoughts or deny they exist at all. Unfortunately, this rarely helps matters; in fact, it often makes things much worse. But what if we were able to face our anxiety head on? And what if we could use our spiritual practice as an additional tool to support ourselves through these anxious periods? Is it possible that anxiety could actually serve as a useful teacher? As we listen to the pitter-patter of the spring rain, consider how you might create a new relationship with the anxiety in your life.  What am I reading? Anxious People by Fredrik Backman https://bookshop.org/a/111301/9781501160844How to Kill a Witch: The Patriarchy's Guide to Silencing Women by Zoe Venditozzi and Claire Mitchell https://bookshop.org/a/111301/9781464241222https://bookshop.org/shop/witchywomanwalkingWhat's playing on repeat?Song of Sorrow by Elle KingWhat's for dinner?Mediterranean Baked CodIngredients:1 ½ pounds cod fillet1 small red onion OR large shallot, sliced3 cloves garlic crushed1 pound cherry tomatoes halved¼ cup sliced black olives1 tablespoon olive oil1 teaspoon Italian seasoningsalt & pepper to taste¼ cup white wine OR water4 tablespoons butter choppedInstructionsPreheat the oven to 400°F.

It's another chaotic daily comedy show, and this one comes fully loaded with birthday flexes, emotional dog countdowns, and a surprisingly intense debate about… rocking chairs. Yeah, we're aging gracefully over here.Lern had herself a full-blown birthday weekend featuring fancy dinners, surprise gifts, and a husband who absolutely understood the assignment. We're talking custom rocking chairs, sentimental music memorabilia, and enough thoughtful gestures to make the rest of us look like we grabbed a last-minute gas station card. Meanwhile, King Scott is juggling an anniversary, a pregnant wife, and a dog birthday like it's the most normal thing in the world (it's not).Then things take a turn into “why are we like this?” territory when Rafe starts tracking his dog's potential world record lifespan like it's the Super Bowl of senior pets. There's real tension. There's math. There's mild emotional instability. And yes, we absolutely discuss whether Guinness needs paperwork or just vibes.Also in this daily comedy show, Moon breaks down one of the weirdest dining experiences ever involving a tiny projected chef cooking your meal on the table like some kind of bougie fever dream. Add in champagne science (turns out there are about a million bubbles in a glass—because of course we needed to know that), and you've got yourself a fully unhinged mix of food, feelings, and nonsense.If you came for relatable life moments, you'll stay for the sarcasm, the dog drama, and the realization that we're all just one rocking chair away from yelling at clouds. Another perfectly ridiculous daily comedy show in the books.This comedy podcast dives headfirst into one of the most heated debates of all time: 90s movies… and why your favorite is probably losing. March Movie Madness is in full swing, and the results are already causing emotional damage across the studio. “Tommy Boy” beating “Dumb and Dumber”? Chaos. “Mrs. Doubtfire” taking down “The Big Lebowski”? Society may never recover.The crew breaks down the psychology behind these matchups—nostalgia, childhood trauma (the fun kind), and the undeniable fact that being dead apparently boosts your box office legacy. It's science. Probably.But this comedy podcast doesn't stop at movie arguments. Oh no. We also get into celebrity holograms—because nothing says “honoring a legacy” like digitally resurrecting legends for a Fourth of July performance. Totally normal. Totally not weird at all. And somehow, it makes sense for about five seconds before we all collectively question reality.On top of that, we've got celebrity chaos, legal drama, and a Tiger Woods situation that proves once again that being incredibly talented does not mean making great life choices. Sprinkle in some music talk, pop culture nonsense, and historical throwbacks, and you've got a full buffet of ridiculousness.If you like your pop culture served with sarcasm, mild outrage, and zero resolution, this comedy podcast is exactly what your brain ordered.This funny podcast starts with a wholesome moment—King Scott is having a baby. Aww. Beautiful. Life-changing. And immediately ruined by everyone else having opinions.Because apparently, choosing a baby name isn't just between two parents anymore—it's a full-blown family war. Grandparents want throwbacks, parents want trendy, and the internet wants chaos. And yes, people are absolutely using AI to generate baby names now, which feels like a bold strategy when Grandma is already ready to fight you in the group chat.The crew dives into the absolute madness of baby naming culture, including the cardinal sin: telling people your name ideas before the baby is born. Rookie mistake. That's how you end up in a verbal cage match with relatives who suddenly think they're on a judging panel for “America's Next Top Baby Name.”This funny podcast also delivers some all-time legendary real names—from “Justin Case” to “Ima Roach”—proving that sometimes the real problem isn't creativity… it's not thinking things through. Add in stories about almost-names, regrettable names, and names that probably should've stayed in someone's brain, and you've got pure gold.And just when you think it can't get weirder, we take a detour into chaotic gender reveals (including one at a Cheesecake Factory that absolutely did not go well), proving once again that humans cannot be trusted with balloons or public spaces.If you've ever named a kid, been named, or just survived a family group chat, this funny podcast will feel way too real—and way too funny.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.The U.S. Is Quietly Changing Your Gas Quality to Help with Costs—Here's the Trade-OffThe Feds Plan To Start Diluting Gasoline This May: ExplainedFull Moon April 2026: Exactly When To See The ‘Pink Moon' RiseThe Brain-Boosting Activity Doctors Wish More People DidCouple Host Gender Reveal At Cheesecake Factory.

Charlie Nardozzi's new book, The Continuous Vegetable Garden, includes ways to make gardening easier, cheaper and more in tune with nature.

Most of us can recall a time when we did something purely to please someone else. Maybe the action didn't sit well in our gut, but we did it anyway to avoid conflict or rejection. This desire to please others is hardwired into our survival instincts. When we make others happy, we're less likely to be cast out of the herd. This behavior makes sense, but when it becomes excessive we risk emotional and physical burnout. So how can we tell when our behavior is genuinely kind and helpful versus people-pleasing? The trick is to discern whether you're acting from a place of fear rather than a place of love. As we stroll through the late winter woods, consider your people-pleasing tendencies. Are they based in genuine kindness or are they fueled by fear? It's time to see and feel the difference. What am I reading?The Violin Makers Secret by Evie https://bookshop.org/a/111301/9780008777678The Conjuring of America: Mojos, Mermaids, Medicine, and 400 Years of Black Women's Magic by Lindsey Stewarthttps://bookshop.org/a/111301/9781538769508https://bookshop.org/shop/witchywomanwalkingWhat's playing on repeat?Scar Tissue by Red Hot Chili PeppersWhat's for dinner? Healthy Burger Bowl1 lb ground beef, chicken, turkey, or plant based protein 1 tsp olive oil1 tsp garlic powder1 tsp onion powder1/2 tsp smoked paprika1/2 tsp salt1/4 tsp black pepper6 cups chopped romaine1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved3/4 cup shredded carrots1/2 cup sliced red onion1/2 cup pickle slices2/3 cup cheddar cheese1/2 avocado 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt2 tbsp ketchup1 tbsp mustard1 tbsp pickle juice1/2 tsp hot sauce Instructions:Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Step into the shadowy fringes of the unknown with My Dark Path as we unravel the hypnotic revelations of the 1960s with Dr. Leo Sprinkle, the unassuming psychologist who unlocked memories of interstellar nightmares for countless alien abductees.Host MF Thomas transports you to the quiet offices of the University of Wyoming in Laramie, where gentle Dr. Ronald Leo Sprinkle guides ordinary people like Nebraska police sergeant Herb Schirmer into trance, recovering tales of a disc-shaped craft with winged-serpent emblemed grays using greenish paralyzing gas, North Dakota mother Sandy Larson lifted aboard to face mummy-wrapped robots removing her brain for examination, Wyoming rancher Pat McGuire telepathically instructed to drill a miracle well by black-suited humanoids, and New Mexico waitress Myrna Hansen witnessing mid-air cattle dissections before descending into Dulce Base's vats of hybrid fetuses—complete with government psy-ops, self-hypnosis uncovering Sprinkle's own childhood abduction, and careers shattered by ridicule.Were Sprinkle's hypnosis sessions unveiling genuine extraterrestrial encounters, implanting false memories through suggestion, or fueling covert disinformation campaigns?This episode blends eerie narration with historical context, skeptical scrutiny, and believer's evidence. Perfect for fans of unsolved enigmas, UFO hypnosis, and the paranormal.

This BONUS TRAX episode sets the hobby back decades (not really). We kick off the extra session with a little collector honesty in “Did I Really Buy That?”—a segment where we confess to the vinyl purchases we probably didn't need… but bought anyway. Impulse buys, questionable upgrades, strange finds, and those records that somehow made it into the collection. No regrets… well, maybe a few. A brief detour to some talk about liquid-filled vinyl and should they be slabbed serves as an ominous interlude before an unexpected power outage drives the dais into rapid fire music talk mode by showing as many records as they can while the power resumes at the Concert Buddie compound. Sprinkle some music-inspired literary and cinematic takes, and we land this BONUS TRAX plane right before it implodes.  If you're passionate about vinyl records, record collecting, Discogs, crate digging, and the culture surrounding physical media, this episode of SURFACE NOISE delivers the lively discussion and collector perspectives the Vinyl Community loves.   ⏬⏬⏬⏬   For more on host Concert Buddie: https://www.youtube.com/@ConcertBuddie https://concertbuddie.com IG: @concertbuddie   For more on Arnaldo (fidelios_frequency):  https://www.youtube.com/@fidelios_frequency IG: @fidelios_frequency   For more on Chris (Groove Seeker): https://www.youtube.com/@Groove_Seeker IG: @thegrooveseeker   For more on the immortal Jose Moreno Rahn (aka John Bong): https://www.youtube.com/@josemorenorahn https://auroracentralrecords.bandcamp.com   For more on returning guest Jeff Paris (Vinyl Record Info): https://www.youtube.com/@vinylrecordinfo   For more information on Vinyl Community Podcasts: https://vinylcommunitypodcasts.com . . . . .   Don't forget to visit FOTS (friends of the show) Vinyl Storage Solutions for the BEST sleeves to protect your best records (and your worst).

What is GroupThink? GroupThink is defined as, “a phenomenon that occurs when a group of well-intentioned people makes irrational or non-optimal decisions spurred by the urge to conform or the belief that dissent is impossible.” The concept of GroupThink originated from a Yale Psychologist, Irving Janis in a 1971 Psychology Today article. It's fair to say that we all have experienced peer pressure, but unlike the pressure to conform to a group of friends or family, GroupThink can take a more insidious turn that shapes public perception, opinions and even lifestyle choices. “We Too”, the Black community, have been ensnared by the poison of GroupThink via the “Gender War” that plagues our timelines. Make no mistake, The Gender War is an ‘Agenda War' on the mind. Whether it be the red pill loyalists or the ‘Sprinkle, Sprinkle' fanatics, each new trending ideology that graces the algorithm carries with it an undercurrent of blind faith and little to no critical evaluation.

Hush now… and listen closely. This week on the Scary Spirits Podcast, I invite you back to Camp Crystal Lake as we honor the cursed calendar day that started it all—Friday the 13th. Join your doomed counselors, Karen and Greg, as they bravely revisit the 2009 Friday the 13th film, dissecting every kill, callback, and chilling moment that dares disturb Jason's legacy. As the blood runs cold, they sip on a wickedly themed cocktail—the “Jason Voorhees Crystal Lake Chiller”—a drink as deceptive and dangerous as the waters themselves. This episode is a must-listen for horror fans, slasher devotees, and anyone craving a nostalgic dive into one of the most infamous franchises in horror history. Remember…If you shouldn't be listening…You'll know. Jason Voorhees’ Crystal Lake Chiller • 1 1/2 oz Blue Curacao (for a deep lake-blue color)• 1 oz Vodka (clear like lake water)• 1/2 oz Lime juice (for sharpness)• 1/2 oz Triple sec• A splash of soda water (to add a misty effect)• Blue edible glitter (to mimic the shimmer of water under moonlight)• A sprig of mint (to represent the forest around Crystal Lake) Instructions: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and pour in the Blue Curacao, vodka, lime juice, and Triple sec. Shake vigorously until the mixture is well chilled. Strain into a highball glass filled with crushed ice. Top with a splash of soda water for a slight fizz. Sprinkle blue edible glitter over the top to create a shimmering water effect. Garnish with a sprig of mint and either a small decorative machete or a mask resting on the rim of the glass. Source: creepybonfire.com A Brief Synopsis: Against the advice of locals and police, Clay scours the eerie woods surrounding Crystal Lake for his missing sister. But the rotting cabins of an abandoned summer camp are not the only things he finds. Hockey-masked killer Jason Voorhees lies in wait for a chance to use his razor-sharp machete on Clay and the group of college students who have come to the forest to party. Some of the topics discussed and highlights of this episode include: Karen gives us a history of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer. Our hosts reminisce about the band Night Ranger and the song “Sister Christian”. We learn some safety facts about motorcycle helmets. The history of “Hustler” magazine is discussed.

Boomer and Gio react to Team USA's gold medal glow showing up in Washington, with Jack Hughes expected back on the ice tonight and the Devils crowd ready to explode. Then the conversation swerves to Eileen Gu, endorsements, and the whole dual citizenship debate. From there it's NFL Combine season: Aaron Glenn talks year-two growth, Joe Schoen claims he's “crushing” film, Harbaugh gives the full alignment speech, and the league keeps trying to convince itself it has quarterback answers. Plus, the Colts admit the pressure is real with Anthony Richardson. And back in New York, the Knicks get embarrassed in Cleveland, KAT disappears in the second half, Wally brings the heat, and everyone's left asking what's actually going on. Sprinkle in Dan Hurley's “adjustments are overrated” rant, St. John's chasing win No. 14, MLB's ABS challenge chaos, and yes, a bizarre fossil headline that somehow makes the show.

Send a textStrap in—this one's a mess. The crew breaks down how the Air Force's first female SERE Chief thought it was a good idea to dox an A1C because his dad called her a “garrison bunny.” Yeah, you read that right. Instead of clapping back with humor, she weaponized her platform of 195k followers to drag a kid who had zero involvement. We torch the hypocrisy, roast the power abuse, and ask the question no one else will: how the hell is this acceptable in uniform? Sprinkle in some Pete Buttigieg jokes, Atlas Shrugged doomsday signals, and a little self-owning about Ones Ready's own social media run-ins, and you've got an episode that pulls no punches. Chiefs, take notes—this is how not to lead.⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 – Worms ready, chaos begins 00:07 – Special Warfare selection: raw materials, not perfect products 01:02 – Peaches vs Pete Buttigieg: airline meltdown edition 02:00 – Atlas Shrugged and America's blinking red warning lights 05:00 – Chiefs are the worst people in public life 06:20 – The cringe reel that started it all 08:40 – From clapback to doxxing: the Chief's power trip 10:45 – Big Tit Energy podcast receipts resurface 12:14 – Social media rules the Chief just torched 14:30 – Why nothing will happen (and why that's the problem) 18:59 – Dragging an A1C who might've idolized her 20:30 – Hypocrisy: building followers off thirst traps, deleting receipts later 23:42 – Owning mistakes vs burning careers 26:20 – How she should've responded (and won the internet) 28:16 – Walking the dog: consequences for the A1C 30:39 – Ones Ready on negativity, scaling outrage, and why this matters

A nostalgic Mexican food story spirals into gravity conspiracies, rogue elephants, and one of the most unexpected Chester Bennington memories ever shared on the show.On today's episode of The Rizzuto Show, what begins as harmless food talk—sushi boats, cupcakes, and the emotional closure of a longtime St. Louis Mexican restaurant—takes a legendary turn when Moon casually drops a story involving Chester Bennington and a wet chimichanga. From there, the rails are fully gone. Not loosened. Gone.This daily podcast does what it does best: take one real memory and pile on layer after layer of chaos. The crew mourns the loss of local institutions, debates why urgent care centers are multiplying like gremlins, and somehow finds themselves planning for a viral conspiracy theory claiming Earth will lose gravity for seven seconds in August. Helmets are discussed. Field broadcasting is considered. Matching outfits may be required.Things escalate further when the conversation shifts to a genuinely terrifying story about a rogue elephant on a multi-day rampage overseas, leading to the important realization that elephants are apparently both fast and sneaky—which feels unfair. Add in extreme cold weather prep, heartfelt reminders to check on elderly neighbors, and wildly inappropriate jokes about inheritance, and you've got the emotional range only The Rizzuto Show can pull off.As always, the gang balances the absurd with the oddly thoughtful. One minute it's doom-and-gloom apocalypse talk, the next it's a sincere discussion about community, local history, and why food memories hit harder than they should. Sprinkle in celebrity chaos, pop culture commentary, music debates, and self-roasting tangents, and this daily podcast becomes exactly what listeners expect: unpredictable, hilarious, and just structured enough to keep the FCC calm.If you're looking for a daily podcast that doesn't pretend to have all the answers—but is very confident while being wrong—this episode is for you. Come for the Chester Bennington wet chimichanga story. Stay for the conspiracy planning.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshowConnect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear the Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Daily Show Notes: Hacienda in Rock Hill announces its closing after 50 years A Warmer Wednesday before Incoming Artic Air/ Potential Snow into the Weekend Will gravity disappear from Earth on August 12?
