Description: Melissa Radke is the best friend you never knew you always wanted with a Texas-sized heart and sense of humor to match. She's also an author, speaker, TV personality, and For the Love fan-favorite, best known for her gut-busting sense of humor, deep honesty, and fierce Southern sass. Melissa first gained a national following with her viral videos about parenting and real life, which led to a reality show (The Radkes) and a bestselling book (Eat Cake. Be Brave.) A fierce advocate for women finding their voice—especially in midlife—Melissa brings laughter and tears to everything she touches. Her newest project, Chicken Fried Women, a collection of stories (with a companion podcast series) celebrates the women—battered on the outside, tender on the inside, some salty, some spicy—who made us who we are. In this life-giving conversation filled with snort-laughs and tears, we talk about:  The incredible women who raised us, taught us, prayed for us, and even humbled us when we needed it most The stories that have become legend in our families—Melissa tells a story about her Aunt Melba helping her mother with fastening her girdle in a cramped church bathroom stall that left Jen and Amy in stitches The friends who have shown up for us in times of crisis with remedies and solutions that we never could have fathomed for ourselves Thought-provoking Quotes: “I have always thought that people who have an innate gift to find and communicate humor, even in the midst of sorrow, possess a gift of healing. And I can't number how many times I have been on the other side of someone else's gift of humor and it has restored me in a way that literally nothing else could.” – Jen Hatmaker “Don't waste another second being around someone who makes you feel like you're too much. Go sit at a different table. Find a different circle.” – Melissa Radke “I am fully committed, as committed as I am to Christ, to the moo-moo. I make no apologies and I thank the person who rebranded it by calling it a kaftan.” – Melissa Radke Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Eat Cake & Be Brave: The Funny Formula For Life With Melissa Radke - https://bit.ly/4j29Yxm Fierce, Free & Full of Questions: Melissa Radke Gets Jen to Tell it All - https://bit.ly/4lkzm2Q The Radkes - https://www.usanetwork.com/the-radkes Saturday Night Live's Five Timer's Club - https://www.nbc.com/nbc-insider/snl-fiver-timers-club-member-hosts Chicken-Fried Women: Friendship, Kinship, and the Women Who Made Us This Way by Melissa Radke - https://amzn.to/3FS6azY The Chicken Fried Women Podcast - https://www.melissaradke.com/podcast Erma Bombeck - https://amzn.to/3DT9NoL Leanne Morgan - https://www.leannemorgan.com/ Tina Fey - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0275486/ Amy Poehler - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0688132/ Mindy Kaling - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1411676/ She's in Love with the Boy by Trisha Yearwood - https://open.spotify.com/track/4EJvW4NHAk7TrIeX44jjXF Guest's Links: Website - https://www.melissaradke.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/msmelissaradke/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/MelissaRadkeStretchMarks/ Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@MelissaRadke TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@melissaradke Podcast - https://www.melissaradke.com/podcast Connect with Jen!Jen's Website - https://jenhatmaker.com/ Jen's Instagram - https://instagram.com/jenhatmakerJen's Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/ Jen's Facebook - https://facebook.com/jenhatmakerJen's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmaker The For the Love Podcast is presented by Audacy.

What I'd like to have right now is for all you podcast-listening sweathogs to keep the noise down while I take my robe off and play the best podcast about The Chicks and the 224th greatest album of all time, Fly. Warning: The clarinet in this episode is a rude awakening that sounds like the main host is making love to the cat from Peter and the Wolf.   Before we get to the album, we head to the world of movies and TV to discuss Three Men and a Baby, Magnum P.I., Look Who's Talking Too, and the age-old debate of Becky vs. Darlene. Then, we put our customer service worker on hold for 30 minutes to discuss Scandinavian sleep style and comforters versus duvets. Finally, we turn up the volume on local Minnesota musicians, guitar-playing bartenders, and the 1997 How Do I Live song controversy involving LeAnn Rimes and Trisha Yearwood.   Then, at (1:03:00), we become the best 90's country music podcast and discuss The Chick's fifth studio album, Fly. We discuss the album's production quality, great country music songwriters, and the best artists who influenced The Chicks.   Next week's episode will prove to be a Radio Cure when we become the best podcast about Wilco and the art rock album Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. All Hail...Aaron Judge! Oh yeah...F Menards.

Quick note before the show - after taking almost 4 years off to produce the Morse Code TV Pilot, I'm about to release some new music. So so excited about this. The first single is called Meet Me at the End of the World. Its about reaching for love at all costs. I texted our guest Tyler Merritt the track after our interview last week and, to quote the man: “The whole song is super melodic. Great lyrical imagery. Super solid song bro”. So, early reviews are promising! The single launch party and Korby full band show (!) is Saturday Feb 15 at the Five Spot in East Nashville at 6pm. My friends Abby Jane and Carl Anderson are joining me on the bill, and podcast alum Ryan Rado will be live painting. We'll also be premiering the ridiculously ambitious music video we made for this new song of mine, directed by another MC podcast alum Mila Vilaplana. Ballroom dancing, a couple dozen costumed extras, a three-story tall LED lightwall made to look like a sunset in heaven, and a huge Viet Nam War protest set piece are some of the elements. We're filming next week and I'll be sharing behind the scenes clips and pics on my IG if you want to follow along. We're announcing the show Tuesday but here is the early ticket link for my substackies. We are gonna sell out — don't sleep on this :)And now back to our featured presentation~ Happy Publication Week to Tyler Merritt!!Tyler Merritt is an actor, musician, comedian, and activist behind The Tyler Merritt Project. Best known for his viral video “Before You Call the Cops” (seen now by more than 100 million people) and his bestselling debut I Take My Coffee Black, Jan 14th, 2025 just saw the publication of his second book, This Changes Everything: A Surprisingly Funny Story About Race, Cancer, Faith, and Other Things We Don't Talk About. No less a pop culture icon than Jimmy Kimmel wrote the foreword for Coffee, but his new book (which as of two days ago is available everywhere) features a who's who of admirers, reviewers and blurbers, including Trisha Yearwood, Joy Reid, Kristin Chenoweth, Heather Locklear, and about twenty more famous folks…Tyler is also a seasoned actor whose credits include Netflix's Outer Banks, the Disney series Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and A24's upcoming feature film The Inspection. So, I don't know how many threats that is, but it's a lot.Awhile back, I read I Take My Coffee Black, pretty much in one sitting. I loved it. Full of humor — both self-deprecating and barbed — pathos, and hilarious anecdotes, like the time he busted out an improvised rap to avoid being forced into a gang — there are no shortage of surprising revelations, praise in equal parts for rap icons and musical theater, and warm-hearted descriptions of big personalities (his force-of-nature mom comes to mind). The man's personal voice is so buoyant it basically floats on the page.Accordingly, this conversation was as wild a ride as the writing. Things got off to a rocky start (!) when Tyler reminded me he was still mad I didn't book him for a role in Morse Code. But we hugged it out and jumped into a fast, substantive discussion, based in part on a few shared perspectives. For one, we are both children of the West. He's from Nevada and I'm from Idaho. Having living here in the south for almost twenty years, I still retain much of the present-leaning-forward spirit of the west, and in reading Coffee, I felt Tyler had a similar perspective. The western half of America doesn't care where you're from. In that way it can be shallow and fatuous, but the south's preoccupation with its past can be a real head-scratcher to someone not from here. There was so much in this conversation — about Counting Crows, the Nashville music scene, George Floyd, Tyler's mom, the segregation that still exists in Nashville, how in some ways its more pronounced than in other southern cities.If you're still reading this it's probably because you know what a lovable, and loveably complicated person is Tyler Merritt. I hope you love this conversation and I hope it makes you buy his new book.PS I'm including a special exchange not included in the public pod as an exclusive for my Patreons. Up now.Last Week Redux. 10 minutes with Adam RossListen to Author and Editor in Chief of the Sewanee Review Adam Ross talk about the experience of writing a novel, and the sympathetic characters of Playworld, in an excerpt from the conversation we shared last week.Adam's second novel Playworld is a mere week old, and continues its reign of praise and adulation on the literary circuit. Seems like everyone loves it, (including me). As the Morse Code Podcast YouTube Channel nears 500 subscribers, we're going to include a 10 min highlight from each episode, going forward.

It's Tuesday, January 14th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Biggest persecutors of Christians worldwide Global Christian Relief has released its 2025 Red List — drawing attention to the big persecutors of Christians over the last two years. Nigeria tops the worldwide list for murders with a total of 9,814 martyrs for Jesus. India tops the worldwide list for building attacks which stands at 4,949. Mozambique comes in second for building attacks.  China tops the list for arrests and Eritrea comes in second.   Pray for Christians in these dangerous areas of the world this year and get your prayer guide at GlobalChristianRelief.org.  California fire death count at 25 The death count connected with the California fires is now at 25.  The Palisades and Eaton fires together make for the second most destructive fire in California history. Professor Char Miller appeared on AccuWeather. MILLER: “One hundred mile-an-hour gusts are recorded all over the region. Sustained winds of 60 to 70 miles. And then you've got this incredibly fast moving fire. Some estimates say something like three American football fields in a minute were incinerated.” The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection reports 40,600 acres burned and 12,300 structures destroyed. The National Weather Service is predicting another windstorm affecting areas from Santa Barbara south into Los Angeles today and tomorrow. . . expecting wind gusts up to 80 miles per hour. California fire damage will cost $140 billion Accuweather now estimates the price tag for the damage caused by these California fires is between $135 and $150 billion.   The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Center for Environmental Information reports 27 separate billion dollar disasters last year — costing this country $183 billion. Three of the five worst years in U.S. recorded history, for hurricane damage, include 2024, 2022, and 2021. In terms of number of billion dollar catastrophic events, 2023 and 2024 were the worst in U.S. history. God, not “Mother Nature,” is responsible for the winds The news agencies have referred to “Mother Nature” over and over again. However, “Mother Nature” is not in control. God is sovereign over every natural disaster, absolutely in control of the winds rushing over the State of California now. Keep Psalm135:6 in mind. Whatever the Lord pleases He does, “in Heaven and on Earth, in the seas and in all deep places. He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the Earth. He makes lightning for the rain; He brings the wind out of His treasuries.” 5 of 12 insurance agencies pulled out of California Insurance cannot save us either.   Five out of twelve of the major insurance providers in California have pulled out of the Golden State. The government FAIR plan is also dramatically overextended, accountable for $300 billion of properties with only $200 million in surplus coverage. Fifteen insurance companies have gone bankrupt in the last three years. That's more than the previous 20 years combined. And now this. Only 2% of homes affected by hurricane flooding this year were insured.  Psalm 20:7-8 reads: “Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; But we will remember the name of the Lord our God.  They have bowed down and fallen; But we have risen and stand upright.” 80% of parents oppose student's gender identity kept secret A recent survey sponsored by Parents Defending Education found that 80% of American parents oppose schools helping students change their gender identity.  In addition, 74% opposed teaching elementary children about homosexuality, and 78% oppose biological males playing in female sports programs.  The organization DefendingEd.org identifies 1,143 school districts which openly state that they can or will keep a student's transgender status hidden from parents.   Interestingly, 67% of Republican parents, 53% of independent parents, and 29% of Democratic parents support reducing the size and influence of the U.S. Department of Education. And 77% of parents support a U.S. Department of Education that allows states to have more flexibility on how they run their school districts Trump's cabinet picks head to Senate Today begins confirmation hearings for Trump's cabinet picks to include Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth who will appear before the Senate Armed Forces Committee, reports NBC News. Also this week, Senate committees will conduct hearings for Attorney General nominee Pamela Bondi and Secretary of State nominee Marco Rubio among others. Jimmy Carter's funeral featured song denying Heaven and Hell And finally, all five living presidents -- Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Donald Trump, and Joe Biden -- attended the funeral for former President Jimmy Carter, reports the Associated Press. In addition, Vice Presidents Kamala Harris, Mike Pence, and Al Gore were there as well as Vice President-elect J.D. Vance.  The official funeral of state for former president Jimmy Carter included Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood performance of John Lennon's “Imagine there's no Heaven.”  Listen to Garth sing the open. BROOKS: “Imagine there's no Heaven It's easy if you try No Hell below us Above us, only sky “Imagine all the people Livin' for today.” Though a professing Christian, the former president made this theologically problematic statement to the Huffington Post in 2018. CARTER: “I think Jesus would encourage any love affair if it was honest and sincere and was not damaging to anyone else.  I don't see that gay marriage damages anyone else.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, January 14th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

In the middle of the Los Angeles fires devastation, it's the last thing anyone needed… a false alarm sent out to 10 million residents that they needed to prepare to evacuate. Problem is - it was sent out by mistake. And as the sun came up today, many returned to their homes to see what, if anything, was left, and on one street where every home was destroyed, there's one house that was left standing. Plus, remember the guy who won a historic two-billion-dollar jackpot in a Powerball drawing a few years ago? He spent millions of his earnings on a waterfront property in Malibu. Now, many are saying his luck has run out as the property burns to the ground. And Donald Trump is now the first president in history to also be a convicted felon after being sentenced today in his hush money case. It comes the day after he attended Jimmy Carter's funeral, which there's some controversy over today because of the song Garth Brooks and wife Trisha Yearwood performed. Trump says he will appeal the conviction.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

[This blog will always be free to read, but it's also how I pay my bills. If you have suggestions or feedback on how I can earn your paid subscription, shoot me an email: cmclymer@gmail.com.]The state funeral for James Earl “Jimmy” Carter, Jr., the 39th President of the United States, was as well attended by dignitaries as one might expect — or hope.Among the hundreds in attendance at the Washington National Cathedral were Presidents Biden, Obama, Bush, and Clinton; Vice Presidents Harris, Pence, Gore, and Quayle; Secretaries of State Clinton and Kerry; first and second spouses; Chief Justice Roberts and Associate Justices Sotomayor, Kagan, Kavanaugh, Barrett, and Jackson; current and former heads of government from Canada, Colombia, Japan, Portugal, and the United Kingdom; Prince Edward, Duke of Edinburgh; Antonio Guterres, Secretary General of the United Nations; and scores of senators and members of Congress and ambassadors and other luminaries.I may be missing a notable name or two. Perhaps at least two. That is possible.Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood sang “Imagine" — one of the late president's favorite songs.Steve Ford, the son of President Gerald Ford, whom Pres. Carter defeated in the 1976 election, delivered a beautiful eulogy in which he said to the Carter family: “God did a good thing when he made your dad.”President Biden, in what is likely the final major public speech of his tenure, summed up President Carter in three words: “Character, character, character.”It all felt right and good. It felt fitting. It felt rare and maybe fleeting. It felt like we may not see this kind of easy agreement across the political spectrum for a long time.But with all due respect, it didn't come close to matching the quiet and hardy adoration that could be observed in the previous 36 hours on the grounds of the U.S. Capitol and surrounding streets.It is cold in D.C. this week, enough during the day to aggressively bundle up and enough at night to find any excuse to be indoors and immediately reject that one friend's insane invite to go out for a drink, much less an evening stroll. It is, for most of us, bitterly cold. It is so cold—at least to this Texas gal—that nothing less than the threat to life and limb to a loved one would be enough to convince me to venture into the elements. It is so cold that “outside” is wholly inadequate and only the word “elements” carries a sufficiently adequate connotation.Last night, at 9pm, the temperature was easily below 20 degrees with the wind chill. I understand some of you up north consider this balmy. You must understand that most of us think you're crazy.So, it was painfully cold and uninviting, and yet, even late into the night, there were thousands and thousands of people across all walks of life waiting in line outside for several hours just to enter the Capitol Rotunda for a few moments and walk around the flag-draped casket of one Jimmy Carter and pay their respects to a model human being.There were those who were off for the federal holiday and those who came after a long day of work—suits and dresses and military uniforms—young and old, Democrats and Republicans and independents, the working class and the wealthy, entire families, all of them standing outside in the freezing cold for several hours.That's not an exaggeration. The wait was several hours. At best, one could reasonably hope to get through the line and the quick orbit within the Rotunda in just over three hours. Some folks waited longer, some as many as five hours depending on when they got in line. When was the last time you waited five hours in line for anything? When was the last time you waited three hours in line? When was the last time you did this in the bone chilling cold? When was the last time you did this without any expectation of a tangible reward?They all knew there was no material incentive to be had here. It wasn't like everyone who made the journey got a cookie or gold star after leaving the Rotunda. There were no certificates of appreciation conferred upon completion. No dinner coupons. No drink tickets. No free t-shirts.Need to use the restroom? Walk a few blocks to a nearby restaurant or bar and hope someone is kind enough to hold your spot in line.It was so cold that even the usually familiar sight of phones capturing every angle of any given political event for social media was scarce. Gotta keep those hands warm.People heard the updates. It's gonna be three hours. Maybe four. Maybe five.They stayed in line.It wasn't as though Pres. Carter could do anything for these thousands upon thousands of people who came to say goodbye beyond what he did for them in life, deeds already completed and offered without any assumption of reciprocity.This man who hadn't been president in more than four decades, who had a 31 percent approval rating the month he lost reelection, who was unfairly maligned for many years over his job performance, who was unjustly a punchline to much of the country afterward for so long after leaving office — it was this man they came to honor.They stayed in line, freezing, probably hungry, probably needing to use the restroom at some point, many of them probably wishing they were at home with a hot beverage and blanket in hand.They stayed in line.This one-term president, who went back to his peanut farm after leaving office, who was detested by the bulk of D.C. political circles, who didn't cash out and join a bevy of corporate boards, who didn't feel it necessary to say what was popular or easy, who navigated his life thereafter as a private citizen with such grace and integrity that even his most ardent detractors had to tip their hats and acknowledge his decency.I realize there are so many reasons to feel pessimistic about the future of our country at the moment, but if such decency is so honored as we've seen by everyday Americans on the ground in our Nation's Capitol over these past few days, tell me that isn't cause for hope.Tell me that isn't a glimmer of what we could still be.

Some of her songs are rooted in deep personal experience of grief and loss (she's lost two husbands to cancer). Her best-known song, Sand and Water,” was famously performed by Elton John in memory of Princess Diana. We spoke about the spiritual alchemy of both grief and creativity (songwriting in particular).  Find out more about Philip Goldberg Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

There is a wacky conspiracy theory going around on social media and people actually believe Garth Brooks is killing people in every city he visits during a concert tour. People even claim to have matched up dates of murders and missing people with dates that Garth Brooks is in the city the murder takes place. We talk about the origins of the conspiracy theory and how it all took hold but then, the story takes a very dark turn. Weeks ago, Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood's hair and makeup artist filed a lawsuit against Garth Brooks claiming he has raped and sexually assaulted her for years.

 In this episode of The PR Breakdown, digging into the PR crisis surrounding country music legend Garth Brooks. Two days before sexual assault allegations against him surfaced, Brooks posted a seemingly wholesome photo with his wife, Trisha Yearwood. Coincidence? Maybe not.Exploring how the couple is strategically handling the allegations in public, breaking down their moves and drawing parallels to familiar PR playbook tactics used by other high-profile figures. With serious accusations brought forward by a former makeup artist, Brooks' legal and PR teams are in full defense mode. The episode sheds light on the strategies of denial, diversion, and discreditation often used in such cases, questioning whether these methods will hold up in today's environment of increased accountability.Mentioned in the Episode:Garth Brooks Instagram: Habitat for Humanity postGarth Brooks Instagram: Las Vegas ConcertTrisha Yearwood's real estate listing.Episode 282: Scandal Season: Why September Sparks Media, Celebrity, and Political Firestorms.Join Molly on Patreon for even deeper dives into celebrity PR strategies and exclusive live sessions!
