Podcasts about too true

In this episode, we sit down with Mike Oppenheim—novelist, podcaster, musician, filmmaker, and world traveler—for a deep, funny, and surprisingly uplifting conversation about life, death, and everything in between. Mike's podcast Coffin Talk explores the meaning of death, but his real superpower is helping us live more fully. We talk about his days touring in rock bands, his time working in hospice, the wild wisdom that comes from visiting 50 states and 30+ countries, and why he's more interested in meaningful conversations than selling books. From indexing galley proofs to asking life's biggest questions with warmth and wit, Mike reminds us that curiosity is a lifestyle. Get ready for insights, laughs, and maybe a new way of thinking about your own story.Mike Oppenheim has been interested in entertainment since he was a child, but became serious in 2003 when he began his music career with Punchclock & Smirk.In 2006, he started his weekly philosophy essay, The Casual Casuist and In 2011, he earned an MFA in Fiction from Mills College with his novel Dysfunction.

Myself, my dad and the Canseco Twins neutralize Dee Dee's annoying production duo so that she can crank out a classic without interference. Too True is the final (boo) and best (yay) Dum Dum Girls album. A catchy atmospheric finale to a five-year run powered by good ol' work ethic.

In this final episode of the three-part series on the Philosophical Psychology lectures by Paul Meehl, we discuss lectures 6-8, which cover the ten obfuscating factors in "soft areas" of psychology and a host of advice Meehl provides for researchers, reviewers, editors, and educators on how to improve practice.    Shownotes Krefeld-Schwalb, A., Sugerman, E.

It seems fitting to initiate (compliments of www.QuoteGarden.com - edited for audio format) the conclusion of our Christmas wisdom with the thoughts of an anonymous philosopher who said, The message of Christmas is that the visible material world is bound to the invisible spiritual world. Robert Lynd, who is admittedly not a philosopher said, Were I a philosopher, I should write a philosophy of toys, showing that nothing else in life need be taken seriously, and that Christmas Day in the company of children is one of the few occasions on which men become entirely alive. Pope John 23rd added, Mankind is a great, an immense family. This is proved by what we feel in our hearts at Christmas. Carolyn Wells is a little more down to Earth with her perspective on gifts, I love the Christmas-tide, and yet, I notice this, each year I live; I always like the gifts I get, But how I love the gifts I give! She followed up on her wisdom with, 'Tis blessed to bestow, and yet, Could we bestow the gifts we get, And keep the ones we give away, How happy were our Christmas day! P J O'Rourke lightens the discourse when he points out, There is a remarkable breakdown of taste and intelligence at Christmastime.  Mature, responsible grown men wear neck ties made of holly leaves and drink alcoholic beverages with raw egg yolks and cottage cheese in them. Our 30th President, Calvin Coolidge was again a bit more philosophical, Christmas is not a time or a season but a state of mind. To cherish peace and good will, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas. Robert Kirby is a little more practical, No matter how carefully you stored the lights last year, they will be snarled again this Christmas. Deborah Whipp's nostalgia definitely has that ring of truth, Like snowflakes, my Christmas memories gather and dance — each beautiful, unique and too soon gone. Ella Wheeler Wilcox knows about nostalgia as well, When Christmas bells are swinging above the fields of snow, we hear sweet voices ringing from lands of long ago, and etched on vacant places are half-forgotten faces of friends we used to cherish, and loves we used to know. Vanessa Grimaldi said, Santa Claus is believing in something greater, believing in something magical; but Dennis the Menace pointed out that the real question is whether Santa Claus believes in you. Charles Dickens said, I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round apart from the veneration due to its sacred name and origin, if anything belonging to it can be apart from that, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time. Margaret Elizabeth Sangster agrees, At Christmas-tide the open hand Scatters its bounty o'er sea and land, And none are left to grieve alone, For Love is heaven and claims its own. Erma Bombeck gets at the heart of it, There's nothing sadder in this world than to awake Christmas morning and not be a child. Louisa May Alcott hints at the magic, Are they Christmas fairies stealing Rows of little socks to fill? Are they angels floating hither With their message of good-will? What sweet spell are these elves weaving, As like larks they chirp and sing? Neil deGrasse Tyson is here to make us smile, Santa knows Physics: Of all colors, Red Light penetrates fog best. That's why Benny the Blue-nosed reindeer never got the gig. Once again, my dear people, Merry Christmas is here, With holly and mistletoe And its good will and cheer! With its joys and its heartaches, With its laughter and song, It comes as a reminder That time marches along. This reminder from Gertrude Tooley Buckingham likely gets a "Too True" from most of us. This from Jay Leno should have perhaps been omitted but alas, The Supreme Court has ruled that they cannot have a nativity scene in Washington D C. This wasn't for any religious reasons. They couldn't find three wise men and a virgin. Let's just hope that Julia Peterkin's rumor has not reached ...
