AUDIO TRANSCRIPT Turn your Bibles to 1 Corinthians chapter 3 verses 1 through 9.1 Corinthians chapter 3 verses 1 through 9.It's time to grow up.Have you ever thought that about someone else?You ever thought that about a neighbor, a coworker?Have you ever said that to someone else?To a friend, to a family member?And whenever you think or say that sentence, it always comes with a sense of frustration,a sense of disbelief that someone could be so immature, that someone could be so childish.I can distinctly remember a time where I thought and said that exact sentence.It's time to grow up.It was years ago as I was sick on the couch watching my favorite sick day show, Dr. Phil.And don't judge me for my favorite sick time show.You probably don't have one that's much better.Maybe it's helped me with counseling over the years. I don't really know.But I'll never forget this one particular episode as Dr. Phil interviewed a 24-year-old manwho considered himself 18 months old.He was an adult baby.He slept in a massive custom crib.He had customized onesies in his closet.He wore diapers and he ate baby food.And Dr. Phil asked him, "Do you think you'll ever grow past this age?"Is that decent? I've been working on that all week. Is that okay?My wife doesn't think it's really good, so I guess it's not.Pastor Jeff is encouraging me, though.And then Brett said, "I don't think so. I've done a lot of research.And this is the age that I feel, 18 months."I was so disturbed by Brett's delusions.I was so bothered by his contentment with never growing upand the unwillingness of his loved ones to call him out.As I was sick on that couch, I wanted to climb through the TVand join Dr. Phil in saying, "It's time to grow up."Do you know what's even sadder to me than Brett's childish behavior?The childish lifestyle of many Christians.Adult babies are in every church.Adult babies are men and women who are content to never grow up.Content to never mature.They are committed to staying right where they areand never making any progress.So many churches are content with pampering these adult babies,catering to their desires, and baby-proofing the Bibleto avoid any sharp edges or offensive truths.So many pastors are committed to playing along with people's delusionsrather than lovingly calling them out.Thankfully, the apostle Paul did not have that commitment.He had a much different commitment to the Corinthian church,who also had an adult baby problem.Paul was 100% committed to this church's unity and purity.He had no interest in playing along with their delusions.He was unwilling to clean up their toys,snap on their onesies, and tuck them into their adult cribs.He was unafraid to burst their bubble and to lovingly call them outbecause their behavior was unacceptable to Godand it was damaging to the entire church.Paul was bold in calling out the Corinthians and saying,"Okay, it's time to get your big boy pants on.It's time to grow up."And this message from Paul wasn't just for the Corinthiansalmost 2,000 years ago.This message from Paul is for Harvest Bible Chapel today.And I really don't want you to think,"Oh, man, I wish so-and-so was here.He or she really needs to grow up."Listen, that person isn't here, but you are.You really need to hear this word from the Lord.In some ways or in many ways, you need to grow up.I need to grow up.So before we continue any further, let's go to the Lord and ask for His help.Please pray for me that will faithfully proclaim God's wordand I will pray for you that you will faithfully receive it.Father, we just celebrated children in our church.Children are a gift. Children are a blessing.The Lord, when we as adults act like children, there's a huge problem.Lord, I admit to you that I can be an adult baby.I can be childish.And I know the same is true for every single person in this room.Help us to stop thinking that this is for somebody else.This is a word for each and every one of us.Maybe we'd walk out of this room as different peopleand we'd be put on the path to maturity.We ask and pray all these things in Jesus' name.Amen.It's time to grow up.Reason number one, because your child is thinking holds you back.Your child is thinking holds you back.In last week's passage, the Apostle Paul reminded usthat everyone who is in Christ has been given the mind of Christ.That sounds really awesome, doesn't it?But what in the world does that mean?What is the mind of Christ?God's Word.You have been given God's Word.You don't have to wonder what God thinks about anything.You don't have to wonder what God thinks about himself, salvation,or how you should live your life.He tells you in His Word.He not only gives you His Word,but He also gives you the Holy Spirit to help you understand this Wordand help you to understand how you apply it to your life.God doesn't tell you all that you could know,but He does tell you all that you need to know.Those who are spiritual are able to understand spiritual truths.Well, great. Thanks, Paul. I appreciate that.Here is a butt coming in chapter 3, verse 1.Listen to what Paul says."But I, brothers, could not address you as spiritual people,but as people of the flesh as infants in Christ."At first glance, it seems like Paul is sayingthat there are no Christians in Corinth.This church is only made up of unsaved peoplewho have no true life and no true relationship with God.But that's not what Paul is saying at all.There are true believers in Corinth,and there are two context clues in this versethat show us that Paul is talking to Corinthian Christians.First of all, Paul calls them brothers.Paul isn't Hulk Hogan. He isn't called everybody brother.That was just for Pastor Jeff.Paul only calls his spiritual siblings brothers and sisters.This is a term of affection.Paul isn't coming in hot saying,"Okay, idiots, time to shut up and grow up."That's not what he's doing.He's not putting them in a headlock and giving them noogiesuntil they do what he tells them to do.No, he's coming in with an arm around their shoulder.Brothers, sisters, I love you.You're my family. Jesus Christ loves you,but you're not acting like you love Jesus.You're not acting like Christians.You're not acting like you have the Holy Spirit within you.You are letting your sinful desires,you are letting your flesh control you.And secondly, Paul calls them by another name.Paul calls them infants in Christ.So they are in Christ.They are saved. Their sins have been forgiven,but they are stuck in their immaturity.They are standing still.And Paul is saying to them,"I want to have an adult conversation with you,but all you can do is goo goo, gaga, and spit up all over yourself."What is the proof of their baby-ness?Verse chapter 2 tells us it's their spiritual diet.Let's read verse 2."I fed you with milk, not solid food,for you were not ready for it,and even now you are not yet ready."When my kids were born,I didn't throw them a pizza party in the delivery room.I didn't try to serve them a hot slice of pizzawith extra cheese and pepperoni.Why not?Because they were not ready for it.Their systems couldn't handle that kind of meal.When we brought Sam and then years later,Emmy home from the hospital,I didn't try to force-feed them ribeye steak and corn on the cob.Again, why not?Because they could not handle it.They were not ready for it.Newborns cannot eat corn on the cob, pizza and steak.Newborns cannot eat solid food.Babies can only be nourished by milk.But that was years ago.Let's talk about now.Sam is six years old and Emmy is almost four.Should my kids be able to handle pizza, corn on the cob and steak now?Why is that?Because they're older.They should be ready for solid food.If they're not, there is something seriously wrong within themthat Kate and I should not ignore.The Corinthian church should be ready for the solid food of God's Word,but they're not.There is something seriously wrong within them that Paul cannot ignore.After years and years of being Christians,the Corinthians are still only drinking from the milk of the Bible basics.Their diet is way off because they have no desire to move forward.And to be clear, new believers do need the milk of the Bible basics.They do need the spiritual ABCs.God is holy, man is sinful.Jesus Christ came to die on the cross,and everyone who trusts in Him will be forgiven.Jesus loves me this I know for the...Yes, amen to all these truths.We do touch on these essentials every single week, don't we?These are the foundation of our faith.But do you agree there's way more to the story?There's way more to know.There's way more to learn.At the beginning of your spiritual life,you must be fed like a spiritual newborn.But as time goes on, your diet should progressso that you can progress,that you can grow in your faith and make improvements.I'm not a dietitian by any stretch of the imagination,but to grow big and strong physically,you need a certain calorie intake.You need to eat from a wide variety of food groups.To grow big and strong spiritually,you need to consume a significant amount of God's Word.You need to have a balanced understandingof the Old Testament and the New Testament.You shouldn't say, "You know what? That book isn't really for me."No, they're all for you.All 66 books of the Bible are essential for your growth.You should make the attempt to have a balanced understandingof the major topics of Scripture,the character and attributes of God,the person and work of Jesus Christ,sanctification, the church, end times,and on and on the list goes.As Paul says in 2 Timothy 3, verses 16 through 17,"All Scripture, not just some, not just most,all Scripture is breathed out by God,and profitable for teaching, for reproof,for correction, for training and righteousness,that the man of God may be complete,equipped for every good work."It takes the whole Bible to make you a whole person.You should have an appetite for the solid food of Scripture.Your knowledge of and your love for God's Wordshould increase day by day, week by week, month by month,year by year, and again, if it's not, there's a problem.Your desire to obey God's Word should increase over time.If you truly have the mind of Christ,you should love the thoughts of Christ.And the author of Hebrews explains the long-term side effectsof only drinking milk.He says this, "For though by this time you ought to be teachers,you need someone to teach you againthe basic principles of the oracles of God.You need milk, not solid food.For everyone who lives on milk is unskilledin the Word of righteousness since he is a child."I'm going to be very blunt for the next few minutes.I've been praying for this section of the sermon all week longbecause I want you to receive what I'm about to offerwith the intention I give it.This comes from love and concern.Some of you have only been drinking milk for years,and it shows.Some of you are still spiritual newbornsand not spiritual adults,even though you've followed Christ for years,maybe even decades.Some of you should be ready for the solid food of Scripture,but you're not.Some of you should be ready to teach the Bibleback in Harvest Academy, but you're not.Some of you should be able to pray in front of other believers,lead prayer groups to prayer services, but you're not.Some of you men should be elder qualified by nowand ready to help shepherd this flock and shoulderthe responsibility, but you're not.If I have described you on any level,please understand I'm not trying to scold you.I'm not trying to push you down like the Apostle Paul.I only have the desire to encourage you and to pull you uplike the Apostle Paul.I want to put a shoulder around you, brother, sister,God has so much more for you in store.If you'll just take a step forward and make progress by His grace.Don't stay where you are.Don't be content to always drink milk feast on this book.Do not be content to always swim in the shallow end of the gospelwith your floaties on.Dive in, explore, challenge yourself.Do not be content with riding with spiritual training wheelsyour entire life.Ask God to give you a sense of confidenceso that you can ride with confidenceand help other people to ride with confidence.Repent of your laziness.Turn from your apathy to the things of God.Ask the Lord to give you a greater hunger for His word,a greater motivation to run after holiness,a greater commitment to the strength of this church.After service, ask a pastor or elder to pray for you.Ask a mature member of this congregationor a godly friend to help you and to keep you accountable.It's time to grow up because your childish thinking holds you backfrom being who God has created you to beand doing what God has called you to do.It's time to grow up.Reason number two, because your childish behavior hurts others.Your childish behavior hurts others.Paul goes on to give another exampleof the Corinthian sinful immaturity in verse three."For you are still of the flesh.For while there is jealousy and strife among you,are you not of the fleshand behaving only in a human way?"Childish thinking always leads to childish behavior.And the childishness of the Corinthianscan be summed up in two words, jealousy and strife.Jealousy is a serious case of dissatisfactionwith what God has given to you.You deserve more.You deserve better.You deserve whatever you want.When you are jealous of what someone else has,you cannot be content with what you have.If you are jealous of someone else's success,you cannot celebrate that person's success.Strife is needless conflict.Strife leads to dumb divisionthat can and should be avoided.Jealousy is an attitude,and strife is the aftermath.Jealousy is the root,and strife is the result.No one needs to teach you how to be jealous.No one needs to show you how to create strife.These sins are inherent within each and every one of us.If you don't believe me,just go back to Harvest Academy for a few minutes.You will see jealousy and strife soonerrather than later.Why does Suzy have that toy in her eye?I hate Tommy and Joey because they never let me play with them.I'm not inviting Ruthie to my birthday partybecause she didn't invite Betty to hers.You may laugh at that,but the adults in the church are not much better than the kids, are they?Listen, you can be jealous.You.Maybe you are envious of someone else in this room.That person who has the marriage that you want.That parent who has more under control kids than you do.That person who seems to be more talented than you.You should be celebrating and rejoicingand God's good gifts to that brother or sister,but instead you resent them.And you want them to be knocked down a few pegs to feel how you feel.You can be jealous.You can cause strife and factions in the church.You have a serious bone to pick with the leadership at Harvest.Instead of coming to the elders directly, you start whispering.You start spreading misinformation.You start spreading rumors.You are offended by someone else.Instead of going to that person directly,you go to other people to recruit them to your side.And you may say, "Oh, I'm just doing this to warn people."No, you're not.You're doing this to the other people who will like you more than that person.Just be honest about it.Maybe you enjoy getting into fights.You enjoy making a big deal out of nothing.You lace up your boxing gloves and get into worthless, pointless battles with people.Are you jealous right now?Are you causing strife right now?If you are jealous, if you are stirring up trouble,you're just acting like an adult babyand not a mature son or daughter of God.If you are stirring up trouble, if you have sinned against someone else,it's time to swallow your pride and admit what you've done.Kids sweep things under the rug and ignore it.Adults expose sin and confess it.It's time to grow up because your childish behavior hurts others,especially the people you love.It's time to grow up.Reason number three, because your childish favoritism highlights man and not God.Because your childish favoritism highlights man and not God.Jealousy and strife at Corinth played out in a specific way,and it led to people playing favorites with specific leaders.Let's see what Paul has to say about this in verse 4.For when one says, "I follow Paul,"and another, "I follow Apollos," are you not being merely human?Pastor Jeff preached on this favoritism controversy a few weeks ago,but Paul talks about it again, so what are we going to do?We're going to talk about it again.Paul was the one who planted the Corinthian church during his second missionary journey.And he was there for about a year and a half ministering, preaching, pastoring.And some people had a soft spot for Paul.They were nostalgic for him because he was the one who led them to Christ.After Paul left, Apollos comes to town, and he's a much better speaker,a much more dynamic preacher, so many people prefer Apollos.And this history of favoritism led to both men having their own personal fan clubs,even though both men do not want their own personal fan clubs.In modern day terms, there is a Paul fan page on Facebook,and there's an opposing Apollos fan page on Facebook.There are trading cards with these men's faces and pastoral stats.There are YouTube channels that highlight and spell out their sermons on why they're so great.But Paul says this kind of favoritism is childish.It is not the way of heaven. It is the way of this world.He's saying, "If you say I follow Paul, or I follow Apollos, grow up.You're acting like a child. You need to cut it out."And Paul gives a reason why he and Apollos are not worthy of these cult followings in verse 5.What then is Apollos? What is Paul?Servants through whom you believed as the Lord assigned to each.Paul and Apollos are not celebrities. They're not superstars.They're not mega church pastors. Who are they according to this verse?Servants.This word can also be translated as table waiters.Waiters do not cook the food. They simply deliver the food.Busboys simply clean up.Paul and Apollos are just lowly busboys in God's restaurant.Last time I checked, there are no busboy enthusiasts.There are no busboy trading cards. There are no busboy YouTube channels.When was the last time you had a restaurant and thought to yourself,"Man, this table is spotless. I don't even need a plate. I can just eat right off of it.I need to go find the busboy and congratulate him."Has that ever happened to you?Paul is saying, "I'm just a busboy. I'm not worthy of anything that you want to give me."He's knocking himself off the pedestal that the Corinthians have put him on.He's demystifying Apollos and putting him in his place too.They are just servants of the Lord. They are servants of the Corinthian church.But Paul isn't done lowering himself yet.He and Apollos are not just busboys.They are also farm hands, according to verses 6 and 7."I planted Apollos watered, but God gave the growth."So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God gives the growth.I've never farmed before.I've never even kept a garden before in my entire life.The last time I can remember planting a seed was in first grade with that cup on the window sill,that cup of dirt.I'm not a farmer, but I do know a farmer in our congregation.I spoke to Jesse Hogan last week and I asked him,"How much credit can you take for a good harvester crop?"Do you want to know what farmer Jesse said?None.All I can do is plant, pray for good weather, and trust that God will bring the growth.Trust the results to God.Jesse is a successful farmer because he understands his place in the process.He entrusts the results to God.He knows his limitations.Paul is successful as a pastor, as an evangelist, as a church planner,because he knows his place in the process.He trusts the results to God.Paul knows his limitations.Paul is saying, "I planted the church in Corinth."Paul has watered it with his faithful preaching,but who alone gets the credit?Who alone gets the glory for the growth?God and God alone.Once again, Paul and Paulos are nothing special.They are just farmhands who plant and water the seeds of the gospel.That's it.Paul goes on to give you another reason why he and Paulos shouldn't be pitted against each otherin verse 8."He who plants and he who waters are one,and each will receive his wages according to his labor."There is no reason for Paul and Paulos to competebecause they are on the same team.They are one.I've already admitted that I'm not a farmer,but I may be a better farmer than I am an athlete.Some of you were laughing too hard at that.But I did play basketball from sixth to twelfth grade,and I can remember distinct games where every man in our team was out for himself.Every man was trying to show off.Every man was trying to show everyone how great he was.And that never led to victory because we forgot that we were one.We forgot that we were on the same team.I can also remember other games when we did come together as a cohesive whole.Everyone wasn't trying to win for himself, trying to win for the entire team.In those moments, we were one.We were on the same team, which often led to victory.We are on the same team at Harvest Bible Chapel.We should be pulling together to be one in the Lord,rather than pulling apart to try and be special on our own.On my own, I am a zero.On your own, you are a zero, but together we are one.Our strength comes from our unity.Recently, a member of our church paid the highest compliment to this churchthat made my entire year.She said, "To be honest, I don't really care who preaches on a Sunday morning,because I know, I trust that everyone who preaches at Harvestwill be faithful to God's Word."That is the goal.That woman gets it.That is what Paul is talking about in this verse.It's not about the servant.It's about the one we serve.It's not about the bus boy.It's about the one who owns all things.It is not about the farmhand.It's about the only one who gives the growth.Playing favorites in the church is stupid.It is immature.It is childish foolishness to try to figure out who's the bestand who's the most important.We all have a role to play.No one's gifting or role is more important than another.And according to Paul, each worker will be paid by God Himself,and God never stiffs His employees.He always gives infinitely satisfying rewards.So please don't try to reward yourselfby seeking after the affirmation and praise of others.Wait diligently for the rewards of God,because they are coming.Adult babies live for the moment,but godly servants live for the long haul.It's time to grow up and start highlighting God and not man.It's time to grow up.Final reason, because your childish selfishness hides your identity.Because your childish selfishness hides your identity.Let's wrap up with verse 9."For we are God's fellow workers.You are God's field, God's building.I truly enjoy partnering with all of my coworkers,Missy, Gillian, Ashley, Pastor Rich, Pastor Jeff.I love all my coworkers,but do you know which coworker I enjoy working with the most?God.Pastor Jeff is a great boss,but do you know who's an even greater boss?The Lord.So many pastors fall into sinand disqualify themselves from ministrybecause their childish selfishness hides their identity.They think they're the ones making things happen.They think that the church growth is happening because of them.They're in charge. They're running the show.And they end up becoming bullies.They end up becoming tyrants.They forget they work with and for the God of the universe.Those pastors did not shed their own bloodon the cross for the members of their church.Their churches do not belong to them.Their churches belong to Christ.You do not belong to me.You do not belong to Justin Cady, Brian Beehe, Pastor Rich,or even Pastor Jeff.If you have trusted in Christ, you belong to Him.He's the one who shed his blood for you.He is the one who died for you.You are God's field.You are God's building.That is who you are.Do not let your childish selfishness hide your identity any longer.Do not try to find your identityin what the world says to find it in.The world will tell youthat you are the maker of your own meaning.Your worth is found in what you achieve.But that is not what Paul is saying in this verse.You are not a precious snowflakewhose every one preference should be met.Your story is not the main event of this world.You are not the point of anything.You are just a small part of the field that God is cultivating.You are just a single brickin the beautiful structure that God is building.You are a part of the church of Jesus Christwhich will never ever pass away.It's time to grow upand stop believing that life is all about youbecause it's not.It's about the Lordwho will do great things in and through you.It's time to grow upand start remembering who you areand whose you are.Some of you in this room do not belong to Christ.You are not even an infant in Christbecause you have not been born again.You are not a part of God's field.You are not a part of God's building.You are just a lonely seed.You are just a discarded brick.But your identity will change in an instantif you give your life to Jesus.If you trust in Him as your Saviorwho died on the cross for your sins.If you trust in Him as the Lord of your lifewho has every right to tell you what to do.If you place your faith and trust in Christ,you will be adopted into His family.You will be planted into God's field.You will be slid into the perfect spot in this churchthat is reserved just for you.You will be placed on the path to mature adulthood in Christ.The biggest temptation for a sermon like thisis to feel the sting of conviction in the momentand then do nothing with that conviction once you get home.But do you know what's the most childish thing of all?Knowing that something needs to changeand then doing nothing about it.Please do not fall into that childish temptation.Choose to put away your childish thinking.Choose to put away your childish behavior.Choose to put away your childish favoritism.Choose to put away your childish selfishness.Brothers and sisters, it's time to mature.It's time to grow up.But you can't grow up on your own, can you?You need God's helpbecause He is the expert on growth, not you.There are still two blanks left on your sheet that you need to fill in.These are a prayer to the Lord.God, help me to grow up.Today I need to stop blank and start blank.I have no idea what you need to fill in those blanks with, but you do.And so is God.Maybe it's God, help me to grow up today and He has stopped making excusesand start reading my Bible every morning at 7 a.m.Maybe it's God, help me to grow up today.I need to stop being jealous of so-and-so, it's small groupand start being content with what you have given me.It could be God, help me to grow up todayor maybe God, help me to grow up today.I need to stop sitting on the church sidelinesand start serving at harvest today.Don't be vague because vague goals lead disappointing results.Be practical, be specific,because that will lead to encouraging results.Take a few minutes to fill in those blanks.Take a few moments to go to the Lord, to confess sin,to ask for His help.Ask Him to empower you to change.Ask for His help so that you can be empowered.Take steps to grow up.Fill in those blanks and spend some time in the Lord with prayer.Father, I thank you for your immense patience with us.I know as a father I can be so impatient with my children at times,but Lord, you are so long suffering.But all of us in this room can be childish.All of us in this room can be immatureor may today be a brand new day of transformation.May today be a day where a first step is taken,where growth happens by your grace and by the power of your spirit.Lord, may we not just be convicted in this moment,be convicted the rest of today, the rest this weekand the rest of our lives seek after you and your Word,to pursue after the unity of the churchand to fit into our exact spot in the church.Lord, I thank you for what your Holy Spirit has done this morningand I thank you in advance for what He will do.I ask all these things in Jesus' name, amen.

They say Las Vegas is empty… so we went anyway. In this podcast, we reveal our findings on our recent trip to the Las Vegas Strip. What is it really like right now: crowds (or lack of them), hotel vibes, casino floors, restaurant waits, and how it feels to visit today. We'll walk through major spots on the Strip, check out prices and deals. If you're planning a Las Vegas trip soon, this show will offer some perspective.

In this powerful message from Everyday Mission, we look at the life and death of Stephen in Acts 6:8–7:60 and see what it truly means to live on mission for Jesus. Stephen's courage, conviction, and compassion weren't fueled by self-confidence—but by being emptied of self and filled with the Holy Spirit. His bold witness before opposition and his forgiveness in the face of death point us to Jesus, the One who empowers us to live and love beyond our own strength. Everyday mission isn't about being impressive—it's about being available for the Spirit to work through us.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

Aaron Imholte was back on his show after a week in Stearns County jail. His ability to spin negative experiences in his life into positive moments is insane. Aaron taught the inmates how to have fun, was recognized by every jail employee, and discovered the secret to living a fulfilled life. We've been having fun analyzing Aaron for a while but seriously, this man is insane. Right? Adam Busch has been following the Opester closely ever since Ron the Waiter confronted him about Anthony's recent rant that exposed Opie for who he really is. Ron is the star of the show now so Opie's filibustering with nonsensical stories from his childhood. There's a great compilation of Stuttering John insulting his daughter. We go back to 2016 to watch John completely sabotage Stephanie Miller's interview with Heather McDonald. Megan and Annie join us for another round of “Is It Gay?”, recent reviews, and your voicemails.

Opie kicks off the early-morning stream with wet hair and zero filter alongside Ron the Waiter. They torch NYC's mayoral circus — Zohran “Mom Donnie” Mamdani's $30/hr minimum wage fantasy, Cuomo's comeback creep, and Curtis Sliwa's leaky-eyed cat rants. Ron breaks down why you always tip in cash (spoiler: credit cards rob you blind), while Opie relives stealing porn mags and sprinting for freedom. From hurricane-crushed Jamaica to air traffic controllers delivering Chipotle, plus THC Doritos, Jewish vampires, and Trump's Epstein panic — it's unhinged, unapologetic, and 100% Opie Radio.

Opie kicks off with Rick Rubin's 10,000-spin obsession with Tom Petty's Full Moon Fever, then debates perfect albums (Zeppelin IV, The Bends, Metallica's Black Album). Ron the Waiter jumps in to help trash the Statue of Liberty (Eiffel's ugly sister?), debate 18-inning World Series records, and spiral into AI wiping out coders, CPAs, window washers & cashiers. Cats, Cuomo vs. Mamdani, and McDonald's penny-less rounding rules cap the chaos. Live-streamed sunrise, zero filter—classic Opie Radio.

We're celebrating Jocktober by revisiting Mojo in the Morning, a show that airs in Detroit, Grand Rapids, and Toledo. Bianca is the newest member of the show and she might be super hot! Oh wait… nope, we checked her Instagram. Either way, she has an unpleasant conversation with a coworker and that becomes a call-in segment.  Trucker Andy joins the show to reveal that their listeners are cucks and that Mojo has the worst take ever on the NBA gambling scandal. Ray DeVito has a drunk cokehead on his show and talks to her like she's speaking coherently. Erock sent in an example of radio's dystopian future, the Fred Show's fake “waiting by the phone” segment, and a pre-recorded NYC morning show. Opie is back at Gebhard's with Ron the Waiter and they have the worst possible takes on ICE raids and the NBA gambling scandal. Kevin Brennan failed miserably trying to sabotage Stuttering John's standup show with Geno and Keanu in New Brunswick, New Jersey. Speaking of StutJo, he was wasted on Friday night with guest Ava Raiza who admits she visited his trans son's house. What?? We end with Net News and your voicemails.

Join Opie, Ron the Waiter, and Matt for a wild, unfiltered live stream from Gebhards in NYC! The crew dives into everything from Indonesia's 18,703 islands and cat poo coffee to NBA gambling scandals involving Chauncey Billups and the mob. They roast Ryan Seacrest, reminisce about Regis Philbin's gym grumpiness, and debate ICE raids on Canal Street. With a nod to Patriots QB Drake Maye, a taste of Industrial Arts' Hexbolt IPA, and Gebhards' epic buffalo stinger sandwich, this episode is packed with crude humor, sports talk, and NYC grit. Viewer donations and comments keep the chaos rolling!

Join Indonesian superstar Pandji Pragiwaksono and Ron the Waiter on the Opie Radio podcast! Pandji, the pioneer of stand-up comedy in Indonesia, left behind fame and success to pursue the American Dream and test his comedic chops in the U.S. Often compared to Kevin Hart, Pandji's unique journey defies labels, as Opie passionately explains. From hosting a bold, Jon Stewart-style show in Indonesia—where he was fired for his outspoken views—to sharing insights about his homeland, known for cat poop coffee, the corpse flower, and Komodo dragons, Pandji's story is as captivating as it is inspiring. Dive into this fascinating conversation about comedy, culture, and chasing dreams!  Opie also expresses his disdain for Ryan Seacrest and Opie and Ron gives the latest on the controversial Mayor's race in New York City!

Buckle up for a wild ride in this Supercut episode of Trippin with Opie and Matt, a lean, mean spin-off of the Opie Radio podcast! Join Opie, Matt and comedians Ron the Waiter and Tony P as we dive into hilarious and unfiltered stories from the NYC subway—think breastfeeding moms, crack-smoking chaos, and a near Fight Club moment. Plus, we spill on guilty pleasures like rollerblading rinks and strip club shenanigans, with a side of hazy IPA-fueled confessions. No fat, just the good stuff. Subscribe for more raw, real, and ridiculous tales! 

We have an explosive episode where Opie is forced by Ron the Waiter to confront reality for the first time. But first, Keanu gets called out for scrolling through her mom's phone without permission. Keanu really has zero regard for people's private information. KarmicX is completely out of things to do on his show but thankfully Adam is in his chat so it gives him the opportunity to scream about Adam and me being gay. A racist podcast has an opinion about my takes on Whitney Cummings. Myster Magenta has a new song dedicated to Aaron Imholte's jail sentence. Ava Raiza revealed a potential scheme from the Shuli Network that involved StutJo's trans son and John couldn't be happier to play the victim! We watch the second and third episodes of John's epic failures on the Pro Football Arm Wrestling Championship. Ron the Waiter watched Anthony Cumia's recent takedown of Opie and he learned a lot about his podcasting partner that he was unaware of. Thankfully, Ron took copious notes and really took the Opester to task. It's brilliant and one of the most significant events to ever happen on Opie's stream. Megan and Annie join us for another round of “Is It Gay?” and Cardiff's “To Poke A Dabbler.” And finally Megan reads some Spotify comments and we hear your voicemails.  Support us, get bonus episodes, and watch live every Saturday and Wednesday: ⁠http://bit.ly/watp-patreon⁠ ⁠https://watp.supercast.tech/⁠ Watch this episode here: https://youtube.com/live/xFSqtHOgAbI  Learn more about your ad choices.

The Coffee Opie is drinking with Protein use this link for 20% offhttps://strongcoffeecompany.com/discount/OPIERADIOJoin Opie for a wild and hilarious episode of the Opie Radio podcast, live from Gebhards in NYC! When co-host Matt bails last minute due to an epic "liquid war," Opie calls in the cavalry—comedians Ron the Waiter and Tony P—to keep the laughs flowing. The trio dives into raucous banter about everything from Ron's questionable audition for a Benjamin Franklin role to Tony P's flooded basement and surprising fear of swimming. Things take a soulful turn when musical guest Michael G. Potter, a Strawberry Fields regular, delivers stellar performances of Beatles classics "Dig a Pony" and "Yesterday," joined unexpectedly by local singer Junior for a magical duet. Potter also shares his original song "Truth" and a heartfelt Neil Young cover, "Tell Me Why." Expect crude tales of lost virginities, bizarre childhood snacks like "sugar eggs," and heated debates over Rolling Stone's top songs of the 21st century. It's a chaotic, laugh-filled, and heartfelt snapshot of NYC's gritty comedy scene!

We start with an update on Aaron Imholte's jail sentence and how he's coping with having to serve eight days straight. He's not sleeping well but it's not because he's dreading the pokey. He has an unbelievable attitude about his situation; it's almost like he's looking forward to it.  Vinnie Paulino joins Adam, Chris, and me to get an update on bad boy KarmicX. Because it's episode 666, Producer Chris brings some clips from our favorite metalhead motivational speaker on Metal Mascara. Whitney Cummings took money from the Saudi government and is handling the criticism about as poorly as anyone possibly could. At least Bill Burr isn't calling his detractors racists… yet. For some reason Christian Bladt and Eric Zane showed up on Tom Myers vs. the Rest of the World and treated it like a real show. Wasn't Bladt on the Dennis Miller Show? Opie briefly faked a retirement but this week he's right back to riffing with Ron the Waiter about how much money they don't make on YouTube. After some comparisons between Opie and Stuttering John, we finally strap in for John's reaction to finding out we have the Pro Football Arm Wrestling Championship that originally aired on CBS in 2017. Then we play highlights from the show that John's been bragging about for years. Oof!

They dive into Burr's feud with Anthony Cumia, reflecting on his epic contributions to the Opie and Anthony show. The conversation takes wild turns, exploring Yellowstone's super volcano and its potential to wreak havoc, a hilarious hot springs adventure with naked college girls, the growing threat of AI-driven sexting impacting kids, and the sneaky world of comedy joke-stealing. Plus, they touch on Gen Z's global influence and the spread of the dreaded "kissing bug." Buckle up for unfiltered rants, nostalgia, and laugh-out-loud moments!

Are you handing strangers your “toilet phone”? In this episode of The Modern Waiter Podcast, Veteran restaurant servers discuss how Your Phone Is 10x Dirtier Than a Toilet. Your cell phone has germs you can't see and we tell you how to clean them. Over 30 years in the service industry has made me aware of the drawbacks from working with the public. People ask me to take pictures with their cell phones and it is always a cringe moment. Over 70 percent of people take their cell phones to the bathroom. No I do not want to touch your toilet phone.Follow Me On Social Media:Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/themodernwaiterpodcast/TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@themodernwaiterMore Info https://www.themodernwaiter.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We start things off in Austin, TX where Brendan Schaub has been let down by his son's performance on the baseball diamond. Remember when I said it's not smart for Bapa to rely on his nine year-old's athletic achievements to justify moving the entire family to Texas? Fly on the Wall had Charlie Sheen on and Emilio Estevez was kind of on the show, too. Chad Zumock received a compliment from Adam Busch and didn't know how to process it. Steel Toe is going to serve jail time and his cope is that it's actually going to be a great time and he probably won't want to leave his new friends. Stuttering John has three friends who are mad at him and poor Ava has to console him. Anthony Cumia can't wait to show up to court for StutJo's defamation suit. Opie just posted video of Stuttering John and Dave Attell guesting on Opie with Jim Norton. It turns out O&A breaking up wasn't Opie's fault at all. On Opie's morning stream we learn that Opie's daughter had a birthday party and a very special gift. Opie also has a hilarious bit about female hygiene products and Ron the Waiter is calling out Opie and reading private text messages. Megan joins us for a round of Is It Gay?, Annie is on for another edition of To Poke A Dabbler, we tease the next episode, read recent reviews and comments, and listen to your voicemails.  Support us, get bonus episodes, and watch live every Saturday and Wednesday: ⁠http://bit.ly/watp-patreon⁠ ⁠https://watp.supercast.tech/⁠ Watch this episode here: https://youtube.com/live/IXOltWd_si0 Learn more about your ad choices.

Does soaking silverware in a glass of hot water actually sanitize it? In this episode, two veteran restaurant servers (30+ years in the industry) debunk the “hot water myth” and explain what really sanitizes silverware, why plastic utensils aren't a safer alternative, and how to dine smarter without introducing new risks like microplastics.Connect with us:Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/themodernwaiterpodcast/Tiktokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@themodernwaiterMore Info https://www.themodernwaiter.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Do you know the name of the person who cleans your office or who delivers your mail? An important connection skill is to consider everyone significant, and to take the time to learn names and call people by name. Often people in service jobs wear name tags. Waiters, waitresses, cleaning people, doormen—they usually wear name tags. If you see a name tag, call that person by name. And if they don't have a nametag, take the time to ask, “What is your name?” In a world that is often cold and uncaring, something as simple as calling a person by name can bring warmth and a touch of love into that relationship, brief as it may be. Not long ago one of the pastors in our church had the idea of offering permanent nametags to every church member and attender. What a difference that has made in helping us to connect with others at the church. People I've seen for years I now can connect with by name. We connect with each other much better simply because of those nametags—we can call each other by name. If you determine to have a mindset that you are the host or hostess, and it is your job to find common ground with others and make them feel at ease, you will discover you talk less about yourself and focus more on others. Paul wrote to the Philippians we should count others more significant than ourselves. How do you do that? You have to be very intentional about it, pray God will give you both the desire and the power to do it, and then decide what you will do to fulfill that command. If you're like me, your first reaction when being with someone you don't know well is just to wait for them to make the first move. Just this past week I made myself make the first move and begin a conversation with a young woman seated at the same table with me. Now I have a new friend. We are connecting in several ways, and all it took was for me to say, “Hi, I'm Mary; what's your name?” You will be amazed at how easy it is to connect with people once you become the hostess!

Aaron Imholte was sentenced to 15 days in jail after taking a plea deal in his revenge porn case and pleading guilty to a gross misdemeanor.

How does Bapa still not understand how the internet works? Ron the Waiter is feeling more and more powerful and is really starting to give it back to Opie who appears to be taking it (for now).

Welcome to Databank Brawl Rewind! Databank Brawl was a series that ran on ForceCenter from 2016 to 2020, and it remains one of our more beloved shows. Though Databank Brawl is on hiatus, we wanted to celebrate it along with longtime listeners of the podcast and reintroduce it to the ForceCenter listeners who began listening to the podcast after the end of the show's run. Though all of the episodes remain on our podcast feed, it can be daunting to scroll back and find them, so we're launching Databank Rewind. Here's your chance to go back to those episodes week by week and laugh with us at old jokes, memorable moments, unforgettable guests, and, yeah, old microphones, recordings, and perhaps some Star Wars predictions that came true alongside many that most certainly did not. Databank Brawl -- where Star Wars characters are plucked from the entries of the StarWars.com databank and forced to fight it out in an off-the-cuff podcast moderated by Joseph Scrimshaw. It's time to fight...From the minds of Ken Napzok (comedian, host of The Napzok Files), Joseph Scrimshaw (comedian, writer, director of Dead Media), and Jennifer Landa (actress, YouTuber, crafter, contributor on StarWars.com) comes the ForceCenter Podcast Feed.

This week we start off in rural Minnesota where KarmicX is having a tough go. He's already having a bad day when Adam Busch shows up in the chat and Karmic takes notice. He has a Rob Saul-esque meltdown over the most innocuous chats. The good news is, he might be teaming up with Aaron Imholte on Steel Toe if they can figure out the contract.  We watch Keanu Thompson make up stories about me while on Misery Loves Company with Kevin Brennan. Apparently when I was in the Catskills at Chrissie Mayr's event, I was a nervous wreck, crying about Keanu potentially telling KB about my live show. Wow, what a crazy break from reality. Adam is continuing his deep dive on Michael Ray Bower; the former Nickelodeon actor reflects on the failure of his Monday Night Football drinking stream. Stuttering John was publicly rejected by Kristen Carney and he does not handle it well. Opie continues to be shamed by Ron the Waiter for not stepping up and getting him a new mattress while three different WATP listeners are chipping in.

We start off with the Steel Toe Morning Show because Keanu, Chrissie, and KarmicX showed up on Alex Stein's show and he commented on Aaron. For once Aaron played a clip and we quickly learn why he doesn't do that. After Alex makes fun of him, Aaron decides what Alex was actually thinking and why he didn't actually mean that. Aaron also missed the goal and couldn't console himself.  Adam Busch was checking out Michael Ray Bower, aka Donkey Lips, as he continues to do nothing to improve his situation in life while begging for money, alcohol, and tacos. Stuttering John decided to give a full history of everything that led to our current lolsuit and we point out everything he's lying about and leaving out. Opie seems to need money but one thing he doesn't need is Ron the Waiter as a friend and he really lets Ron know it. It's just a matter of time until Ron is team WATP. Megan joins us for a round of “Is It Gay?” and Annie is on for the game “To Poke A Dabbler.” We read some recent reviews and Spotify comments then listen to your voicemails.
