Rules Americans Ditch On VacationHalf (49%) of respondents intentionally avoid reading work emails when traveling and 59% skip normal to-dos, like working out and tidying up.Two-thirds say they eat out for every single meal and 23% have dessert with every meal on a trip.54% admit they rarely stick to a budget on a getaway, and 48% confess to using credit cards more than usual. Nearly two-thirds (63%) believe that returning texts or calls is completely optional in non-emergency situations and 33% admit they ignore texts and emails altogether.A big part of the vacation mindset is saying “yes” more often, as 82% say traveling is a time to embrace the extras, from dessert to new adventures.“Treat yourself” is the top vacation motto for 41% who say it describes their approach to time off, while others relate to “Try everything once,” (18%) and “No alarms, no plans” (12%).Favorite parts of traveling include sleeping in (42%), forgetting what day of the week it is (36%) and wearing comfy clothes 24/7 (30%).And the best part? Nearly three-quarters (72%) say they don't feel guilty at all about overindulging on vacation.Gen Z RegretsThese are the trends that make the over 35 crowd yell “What are you guys thinking?!”"Dubai chocolate. It is $$$, and maybe it's just me, but it does not look appealing to me at all.""Giant pants. People are wearing jeans that could fit a family of three in each leg hole...why? They also often wear them with a t-shirt that's two sizes too small. It's so goofy looking!""In the past few years, I've noticed there is no shame anymore. It's 'cool' and 'funny' to make a fool of yourself for views. Stop pranking employees who are just trying to work, stop making a mess at Walmart to be funny, stop singing and dancing in public while filming yourself, etc. I refuse to watch any creator that pulls that sh*t.""Labubus. They're just Beanie Babies.""Mullets. Like, I get the irony standpoint, but no, they're genuinely fashionable and attractive right now, and that confounds the hell out of me."These Sleep Hacks Sound A Bit Wild, But People Swear They WorkRedditors are here to help share their best sleep hacks. Some may sound weird, but they supposedly work!"Relax your toes, relax your ankles, follow all body parts...By the time you reach your forehead you're asleep.""Reading something boring. The minute I start, I fall asleep. Also having a cold room.""World building! I like to just imagine the same fantasy world of my own every night. I go over every little detail until I fall asleep! It works wonders — you just keep making new rules or places!""I listen to something boring! On Spotify, there is a podcast called ‘I Can't Sleep'. It's a guy who reads Wikipedia pages on various topics. His voice is quite relaxing and puts me out every time. 10/10 Highly recommend!""I use a red color filter on my phone screen (if I do scroll before bed).""Do a pose called legs up the wall. It's exactly how it sounds, but Google it if you're not familiar. Try 5-10 minutes. It'll reset your nervous system and help make ya sleepy.""Straw breathing works wonderfully for me. 10 breaths with a very slow exhale is good. Yoga nidra works as well.""I take a piece of paper and write the word sleep over and over, usually about a half page. If you wanna try it, just take your time, and if it turns into other writings, just let it flow...and hopefully it's calming to your mind."Second Date UpdateRosa called us about Miguel. They matched on Hinge and went out for dinner in Walnut Creek. Rosa said they split calamari, ordered pasta, and lingered over dessert because the conversation was going so well. She thought Miguel was funny and attentive, and she couldn't figure out why he ghosted.

Mark 2:23-28 23 One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and as his disciples walked along, they began to pick some heads of grain. 24 The Pharisees said to him, "Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?" 25 He answered, "Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need? 26 In the days of Abiathar the high priest, he entered the house of God and ate the consecrated bread, which is lawful only for priests to eat. And he also gave some to his companions." 27 Then he said to them, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. 28 So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath." NIV 84 Lesson Notes God Designed Us for Rest From creation, God modeled rest by ceasing from His work on the seventh day (Genesis 2:3). The Sabbath was meant as a gift, not a burden—a rhythm of rest that restores both body and soul. The Sabbath Is a Provision, Not a Prohibition Jesus reminds us that God's commands are intended for our good. Just as the showbread was given to David as provision, the Sabbath is meant to care for us, not restrict us. Religion Can Complicate What God Made Simple The Pharisees burdened the Sabbath with rules, missing the heart of God's intention. Jesus simplified it: “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath." Relationship Over Religion True obedience flows out of relationship with God, not rigid rule-keeping. Religion says, “Obey so that God will love me.” Relationship says, “God loves me, therefore I obey.” Jesus Is Our True Rest As “Lord of the Sabbath,” Jesus is more than a teacher of rest—He is our rest. Vacations, sleep, and downtime are good, but only in Christ do we find the kind of rest that nothing else can satisfy. Discussion Questions 1 In what ways have you experienced the effects of being physically, emotionally, or spiritually tired? What are some intentional ways you could practice a "rhythm of rest" each week without turning it into a legalistic checklist? 2 Can you think of areas in your life where you've turned God's good gift into a burden (like the Pharisees did with the Sabbath)? How can you shift your perspective to see God's commands as provision? 3 How does focusing on God's love and relationship with Him transform the way you approach obedience compared to a rule-focused mindset? 4 Jesus offers deep soul-rest beyond sleep or vacations. What would it look like for you to experience that rest in Him this week? What does it practically look like for you to find your true rest in Jesus during a busy week?
Become a Relative & send some loveThe journey of self-discovery takes unexpected turns when we're truly paying attention. After a three-month hiatus, Antoine returns with renewed purpose and perspective, sharing the transformative experiences that have shaped his recent months.From the competitive fields of Little League softball to the therapeutic shores of Jamaica, Antoine reveals how coaching has become his unexpected calling. Leading the Mamie Johnson Little League team to back-to-back DC championships and competing in the Regional World Series in Connecticut, he's discovered profound fulfillment in mentoring young athletes. The pride in watching his players make ESPN highlights mingles with the coach's determination to elevate their fundamentals and conditioning for future success.His first genuine international vacation to Jamaica offered both paradise and predicament – from grounding morning rituals on pristine beaches to an unexpected overnight stranding at the airport when standby flights fell through. The contrast between resort luxury and airport survival mode delivered unexpected wisdom that only travel can provide.As Antoine approaches his 40th birthday, he reflects on four decades of growth with remarkable clarity. His 30s proved most challenging but most formative, teaching him to value authentic relationships, pursue personal evolution, and redefine success on his own terms. Now coaching both his daughters and other young athletes, completing his marketing degree, creating new music, and planning more international adventures, he embraces this milestone with purpose: "Turning 40 isn't the end of youth—it's the beginning of living with clarity and intention."What goals are shaping your next chapter? Have you found purpose in unexpected places?

Laura Hawkins is the founder of Gamemasters Escape Solutions, a creator and operator of high-performing escape rooms for hotels and resorts. After a successful career making viral television advertising, she discovered escape rooms on a European trip. She turned a passion project into a 14-room operation and a turnkey hotel amenity business (including installs at Atlantis, The Bahamas). She joins us to talk revenue, resorts, and escape room design. • Budget-season hot take: maximize social first and add hyper-targeted print ads if you have the cash. • From receptionist to rainmaker: Laura hustled her way off the front desk and into award-winning ads. • “Just Slow Down”: the graphic traffic-safety campaign that made her the Quentin TarantinA of Winnipeg. • Vacation plot twist: one so-so Dublin escape room → Athens upgrade → Paris hook → new career. • Resorts love it: low staff, durable props, and constant revenue. • Corporate catnip: team-building, communication, respectful-collaboration—plus a true differentiator vs. the hotel next door. • Design recipe: theme first → story → tactile puzzles (knobs, secret doors, scents)… and yes, limes. • Player pro tip: communicate, inventory the space, and OPEN. THE. DRAWERS. Our Top Three Takeaways: 1. Escape Rooms Are a High-ROI Amenity for Hotels and Resorts Laura emphasized that escape rooms offer hotels a unique way to generate revenue while differentiating from competitors. Unlike spas or waterparks, escape rooms appeal to a wider demographic—from families with young kids to teenagers, grandparents, wedding parties, and corporate groups. They're low-labor, durable, and cost far less to install and maintain, while still driving constant guest traffic and ancillary spending at restaurants and bars. 2. Immersive Entertainment Strengthens Guest Connection For Laura, the heart of escape rooms is shared experience. Guests disconnect from screens, collaborate face-to-face, and leave with stories they'll continue discussing long after the game. This creates a sense of joy and connection that builds loyalty and word-of-mouth—two of the strongest assets for hotels seeking repeat visits and community engagement. 3. Differentiation Requires Courage and Creativity Laura challenged hotels to show more boldness in shaping guest experiences. Too many properties look the same, leaving price as the only deciding factor. By embracing immersive, playful, and customizable amenities—like themed escape rooms or even immersive dinner theater—hotels can stand out, create memorable stays, and deliver new revenue streams.

This week on Totally 80s and 90s Recall, Dave, Rob, and Kurt are joined by special guests Brad and Sean to dive into the wild world of 1980s comedy movies with a March Madness–style 16-team bracket. From slapstick to satire, the guys break down some of the funniest and most quotable films of the decade, pitting classics head-to-head until only two comedies reigns supreme. Each matchup sparks laughs, heated debate, and plenty of nostalgia as the crew tries to decide which flick really captured the comedic spirit of the 80s. The bracket is stacked with heavy-hitters like National Lampoon's Vacation, Stripes, and Coming to America, each bringing its own brand of outrageous humor and iconic performances. But the competition doesn't stop there—parody powerhouses like Spaceballs square off against teen comedy staples such as Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Fast Times at Ridgemont High. The panel wrestles with tough questions: does a cult classic deserve to topple a box office giant? Should quotability matter more than critical acclaim? And just how much does nostalgia play into picking a true champion? With Brad and Sean stirring the pot and adding their own favorites into the mix, the bracket becomes a hilarious walk down memory lane. Whether it's Chevy Chase bumbling his way through family road trips, Eddie Murphy redefining comedy stardom, or Matthew Broderick convincing us to skip school in style, this episode is packed with laughter, debate, and plenty of “you had to be there” 80s moments. It's the ultimate comedy showdown, and only two films can survive the bracket madness!
