In this episode, JT, @TuneThyHeart and @demonerasers delve into various themes surrounding faith, tradition, and societal issues. They discuss the significance of God and the implications of false idols, the importance of understanding the true meaning behind holidays like Christmas and Hanukkah, and the struggles of anxiety and mental health. The conversation also touches on the history of transportation, the influence of big oil, and the connection between prohibition and alternative fuel sources. Throughout the discussion, the hosts emphasize the importance of community support and the need to focus on others rather than oneself. The conversation explores various themes including the impact of resource extraction, urban planning, car dependency, alternative fuels, cultural reflections in media, and the mysteries of ancient technologies. The discussion transitions into the post-apocalyptic narratives in media, particularly focusing on the show 'Paradise' and its implications about society, governance, and the potential realities of life underground.

Sam goes where he's never gone before for our sixth annual Winter Bizarre with a delve into his teen psyche as he recaps A Very Jonas Christmas Movie from 2025. Does he know anything about the Jonas Brothers? No. But neither does Danielle, so it's fine. We quickly learn there are three of them, which Danielle was pretty sure about having paid some modicum of attention to the last twenty years of music, but Sam was guessing on through context. Unfortunately, other than that, the movie is short on details about the lives of the Bronases, expecting if you are choosing to watch this movie you already have some insider knowledge. They'd be wrong. In a surprising twist of movie-telling, when the Bronases are going to be separated for the holidays post-tour (which frankly, they should be for their mental health), Santa decides to help them out by gifting them the curse of not being able to leave Europe and make it home to their families in the states for Christmas. Yes, Santa does think that three grown, wealthy men who have a private jet are the protagonists of a holiday movie. Yes, the movie is not about the inherent system inequalities of the industrial wealth complex and how the Bronases overcome it to become better people. Yes, Santa does think these men with families who just spent every day of the last six months together on tour need to skip seeing their children to spend more time together. Santa…what are you doing right now? Anyway, morality aside, cue shenanigans as the trio Planes, Trains, & Automobiles all over the continent trying to escape the curse of Santa. Oh, did we mention it's a musical? And we don't mean a "of course, it has musical numbers, the Jonas Brothers are on tour", we mean a full-on musical with dance sequences in train stations. Does that make up for the premise? Honestly, yes. Did Danielle watch this the moment Sam was done talking about it? Also, yes. The Bronases are shockingly delightful as they gallivant around Europe in search of…each other? Per usual, therapy would solve these issues. Per usual, nobody gets therapy and their emotions are solved by literal magic. Oh, holiday movies, never change.

How the Father Trains Us Through Suffering, and How I Saw Jesus In My Father's Suffering by Fr. Michael Denk
In today's episode of Anchored in the Word, Dave Jenkins explores how the grace of God doesn't merely forgive it transforms. Drawing from Titus 2:11–14, this episode explains how the gospel saves, trains, and sustains believers for a life of holiness and gratitude to Christ. Grace: • Appears in the gospel — Jesus Christ makes grace visible. • Saves us completely — salvation is God's work from beginning to end. • Trains us to live differently — true grace leads to holiness, not compromise. • Points us to eternal hope — the same grace that saved us will bring us home. Scripture teaches that grace is not passive. It is powerful. It reshapes our desires, fuels obedience rooted in gratitude, and anchors our hope in Christ. "For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness…" — Titus 2:11–12 Grace redeems our past, shapes our present, and directs our hearts toward the glory to come.

Welcome back to the Christmas traditions series. Today, we're taking a look at Christmas in Japan. In December, Japan looks like it is ready for Christmas. Cities light up at night. Store windows fill with trees, ornaments, and Santa Claus. Christmas music plays in shopping areas, train stations, offices, and restaurants. Bakeries line their shelves with seasonal cakes, and signs advertising special meals appear weeks ahead of time. To someone visiting from another country, it can look like Christmas is everywhere. At the same time, daily life keeps moving. Offices stay open. Schools stay open. Trains run on schedule. There is no national holiday connected to Christmas, and there is no long break from work. Christmas fits into everyday routines instead of stopping them...

There is something powerful about hearing a young athlete describe what it feels like to step into a moment they once only imagined. For Zoey Molomo, that moment came at 15 years old when she competed at Olympic Trials alongside the best gymnasts in the world. What stands out most is not just the stage, but the calm, joy, and perspective she brought with her into it.Zoey shares how her love for gymnastics started early, from being a kid who loved being upside down to watching Gabby Douglas in the 2012 Olympics and seeing what was possible. That spark carried her through elite training, big competitions, and the realization that she truly belonged at the highest levels of the sport.The conversation dives into the mental side of performance, including how Zoey learned to manage pressure by keeping competition simple. With the help of mental coaching, she reframed meets as just one more routine, developed tools to quiet overthinking, and learned how consistency is built through preparation and trust. She also reflects on injuries at a young age, the patience they required, and how those challenges helped her grow confidence, communication, and resilience.Zoey also talks about the importance of strong support systems, from parents and coaches to mentors and teammates, and how a positive, connected environment has allowed her to thrive both mentally and emotionally. As she looks ahead to UCLA, she shares her excitement for team competition and continuing to grow as an athlete and as a person.In this episode, you will hear • What it felt like to compete at Olympic Trials at 15 • How Zoey learned to handle pressure and expectations • The mental tools that helped her stop overanalyzing • How injuries shaped her resilience and confidence • Why support and joy matter in elite gymnasticsIn this week's episode of the PerformHappy Podcast, I talk with elite gymnast Zoey Molomo about Olympic Trials, mental training, injury recovery, and building confidence on the biggest stages.Learn exactly what to say and do to guide your athlete through a mental block with my new book "Parenting Through Mental Blocks" Order your copy today: https://a.co/d/g990BurFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/complete_performance/ Join my FaceBook page: https://www.facebook.com/completeperformancecoaching/ Check out my website: https://completeperformancecoaching.com/Write to me!

Mardi 16 décembre, il devrait être à nouveau possible de réserver un trajet Paris-Berlin en train de nuit grâce à la coopérative European Sleeper. Cette structure belgo-néerlandaise s'engouffre dans le vide laissé par la SNCF, qui a annoncé qu'elle cessait l'exploitation des liaisons Paris-Berlin et Paris-Vienne. Cela fait suite du désengagement de l'Etat qui ne renouvelait pas une aide au démarrage que la société ferroviaire estime indispensable pour que le service soit rentable.Une désillusion pour les passionnés de train, mais aussi pour les voyageurs en quête de modes de transport plus écologiques que l'avion, alors que deux ans plus tôt, l'Etat annonçait pourtant en grande pompe le retour de cette ligne, ainsi qu'un investissement massif à venir sur le train de nuit.Pourquoi un tel retournement de situation ? La coopérative European Sleeper va-t-elle sauver le trajet ?Réponses dans cet épisode de « L'Heure du Monde » avec Jonathan Pariente, journaliste spécialiste des transports au Monde.Un épisode de Cyrielle Bedu. Réalisation : Thomas Zeng. Présentation et rédaction en chef : Jean-Guillaume Santi. Dans cet épisode : extraits d'une prise de parole de Clément Beaune le 12 décembre 2023 et d'une interview d'Emmanuel Macron le 15 juillet 2020. Cet épisode a été publié le 15 décembre 2025.

Hello Interactors,Spain's high-speed trains feels like a totally different trajectory of modernity. America prides itself on being the tech innovator, but nowhere can we blast 180 MPH between city centers with seamless transfers to metros and buses…and no TSA drudgery. But look closer and the familiar comes into view — rising car ownership, rush-hour congestion (except in Valencia!), and growth patterns that echo America. I wanted to follow these parallel tracks back to the nineteenth-century U.S. rail boom and forward to Spain's high-spe ed era. Turns out it's not just about who gets faster rail or faster freeways, but what kind of growth they lock in once they arrive.TRAINS, CITIES, AND CONTRADICTIONSMy wife and I took high-speed rail (HSR) on our recent trip to Spain. My first thought was, “Why can't we have nice things?”They're everywhere.Madrid to Barcelona in two and a half hours. Barcelona to Valencia, Valencia back to Madrid. Later, Porto to Lisbon. Even Portugal is in on it. We glided out of city-center stations, slipped past housing blocks and industrial belts, then settled into the familiar grain of Mediterranean countryside at 300 kilometers an hour. The Wi-Fi (mostly) worked. The seats were comfortable. No annoying TSA.Where HSR did not exist or didn't quite fit our schedule, we filled gaps with EasyJet flights. We did rent a car to seek the 100-foot waves at Nazaré, Portugal, only to be punished by the crawl of Porto's rush-hour traffic in a downpour. Within cities, we took metros, commuter trains, trams, buses, bike share, and walked…a lot.From the perspective of a sustainable transportation advocate, we were treated to the complete “nice things” package: fast trains between cities, frequent rail and bus service inside them, and streets catering to human bodies more than SUVs. What surprised me, though, was the way these nice things coexist with growth patterns that look — in structural terms — uncomfortably familiar.In this video
Welcome to the latest episode of L.I.F.T.S, your bite-sized dose of the Latest Industry Fitness Trends and Stories. In this episode, hosts Matthew Januszek and Mohammed Iqbal are joined by Dr. Nick Barringer, a former U.S. Army performance leader, tactical nutrition expert, and human performance consultant, to explore how tactical training principles translate to success in business, leadership, and everyday life. With over two decades of experience working with elite military units, high-performance athletes, and executive leaders, Nick breaks down what it really takes to perform under pressure: from decision-making while sleep-deprived, to building resilience, discipline, and sustainable habits that carry over far beyond the battlefield. This conversation bridges the worlds of fitness, leadership, mindset, and strategy, offering practical insights that entrepreneurs, executives, and high performers can apply immediately. In this episode, we cover: Why executives should think of themselves as "corporate athletes." How sleep deprivation impacts decision-making and performance. Tactical principles that improve leadership under pressure. The role of fitness and conditioning in mental resilience. Nutrition and supplementation strategies for high-stress environments. What elite military training can teach us about business and life. Why embracing discomfort is essential for long-term growth.
Send us a textIn this episode, I'm asking a question that sounds simple—but hits a lot deeper when you truly reflect on it. How confident are you in making decisions for your own life?This one was sparked by a conversation I had with my daughter about risks as you get older, and how easy it becomes to stop thinking for yourself and start following someone else's narrative. Add to that a moment from Kevin Hart on Diary of a CEO, where he said, “Nobody has the confidence in making decisions for your life like you do,” and it made me stop & think (& of course write :).We talk about why, as we get older, we become more cautious. Why following someone else's decisions feels safer—but quietly costs us freedom. Why “research mode” is often just procrastination in disguise. And why there really are no bad decisions—only decisions you can course-correct.This isn't about being reckless. It's about taking ownership. Agency. Staying in the game long enough to learn, adjust, and grow.If you've felt frustrated… boxed in… or like your life isn't quite coming together the way you hoped—this episode will help you see why.Make the decision. Then make the decision right.If this message resonates, share it with someone who needs to hear it. And as always—keep it simple, keep it moving, never settle, stay tough. Support the show
It's officially So Many Santas season, and the So Many Sequels crew kicks things off with one of the first new holiday releases of the year: A Very Jonas Christmas Movie (2025). The Jonas Brothers return to Disney with a short, silly, self-aware Christmas road-trip musical that feels like a home movie stitched together with music videos.Josh, Garrett, and David break down the movie's Planes, Trains & Automobiles–style premise, the surprisingly stacked supporting cast (Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Chloe Bennet, Randall Park, Billy Lourd, and Will Ferrell), and whether the brothers' self-parody actually works. There's praise for the comedy bits, debate over the overproduced music, and a lot of discussion about what makes this movie charming… and what keeps it from being a true Christmas classic.Is this one for super fans only, or does it have enough laughs for casual viewers?

Is Planes, Trains and Automobiles a perfect Thanksgiving classic — or just brilliantly annoying?In this Food & Family Month finale, the crew revisits John Hughes' 1987 travel-from-hell comedy and wrestles with why it still works… even when it absolutely shouldn't.Steve Martin's tightly wound Neil Page and John Candy's relentlessly cheerful Del Griffith make for one of movie comedy's most iconic odd couples — but does the sentiment earn its landing? We break down:Why the movie still feels painfully relatable decades laterThe infamous “I Like Me” speech — and whether it's earnedThat all-time car rental rant (yes, that one)How John Hughes builds comedy like a series of sketchesWhy the ending hits harder than we expected
We wind down the year with some grab-bag faves that we just really want to watch, beginning with a Thanksgiving holiday classic: John Hughes's Planes, Trains, and Automobiles (1987), in which Neal (Steve Martin) is trapped on a holiday road trip from hell with the friendly, lovable, and disaster-prone Del (John Candy). A forty-five-minute flight to Chicago can sometimes take three days, it seems. Next week, Rhys Darby, Sally Hawkins, and a duck cause Lauren to have an existential crisis! We're talking Love Birds!

Eleanor is training for the Grand Canyon rim-to-rim this May: a legendary hike that's 25 miles, 11,000 feet of elevation change, all in one day. But here's the thing: she's not doing this simply because she loves to hike. She's doing it because her business cannot afford anything less than a well-rested, deeply recovered CEO. This week, Eleanor is sharing why she's creating her body like a business operating system in 2026. This isn't a health journey episode - it's about what happens when a CEO becomes the weakest link in her own company. Tune in today to understand why your under-recovery might be the real reason your scale pathway isn't working. Eleanor shares her 2026 health plan, which mirrors exactly what she's building inside Jewel OS for her clients. Most importantly, you'll learn about deload weeks and get Eleanor's exact protocol that allows her to protect elite recovery while running a multi-seven-figure company.

In their interview, Mark and J.D. talk about: How JD was always interested in writing including a little business endeavor he had when he was youngBeing told by his mother that writing is a fantastic hobby, but you have to get a "real job" - and following her advice The main day job he had, which he hated, and coming home at night to write How the first two decades he'd been writing he did ghost writing and did book-doctor sort of work Having written six different books that hit the New York Times bestseller list but had other people's names on the cover JD's wife coming up with a plan to get him to writing for himself How putting his feet to the coals was what JD really needed What it was like writing on his own The value that JD recognizes in the 20 years of writing other peoples' books Having Asperger's which often involves mimicking other people (which JD could do on paper, continuing to write in another person's voice) How ghostwriting for celebrities/NYT Bestselling authors can be very lucrative What it was like co-authoring with James Patterson Being the only guy who has ever gotten James Patterson to "pants" a novel, but how Patterson convinced him to outline, which he now does for certain projects What a typical work-day looks like for JD Making a change in terms of what time of day JD does interviews Working with a virtual assistant and the various PR agencies JD works with Switching over to paying for PR a la carte rather than a monthly retainer Selling more than half a million copies of his first self-published book, which caught the attention of agents That "taste" of being an indie author which mean a loss of freedom Creating his own unique path within publishing that's a blend of self-publishing and traditional publishing models The imprint JD has with Simon & Schuster - Hampton Creek Press How JD has done a number of recent co-authored titles under his imprint by paying the co-authors up front in a work-for-hire manner, which removes the complexity of paying royalties The way JD can pay it forward by helping the mentor the co-authors that he is working on Why JD gave away a skid of hardcover books at Reader Nation in Vegas Advice JD has about authors who are constantly "chasing each other" The unique marketing JD created for his book SOMETHING I KEEP UPSTAIRS that involved an overnight stay in a real haunted house What James Patterson did to get his book ALONG CAME A SPIDER onto the New York Times bestseller list And more...
