  • Shut up and dance

    Love this video. I literally laughed out loud. Not the fake “LOL” kind either. I’m sure it was a choreographed stunt… but man it is still really good.

  • Merry Christmas

    From our family to yours, Merry Christmas.

  • Parentizzle like Snoop-dizzle

    You know I think this is funny when I show a Martha Stewart clip on my blog. I can’t stand Martha… but I do like Snoop Dogg. (Dee-o-double-gee)

    HT to Abby

  • Two fantastic videos from NYWC

    I am a huge fan of the stories told at NYWC. Even before I came to work at YS, I always thought they managed to tell the right stories at every event to warm the heart and encourage the soul to keep going.

    These are two great short films produced by Ian, our maven of media.

  • I got my wings!

    Sometimes I just latch onto a prop and an idea that just has to happen. When I saw the wings in Beth Slevcove’s office I had to use them for the podcast.

  • Unique jobs, part 1

    Since Mike Rowe has the market cornered on Dirty Jobs, I thought I would highlight an extremely interesting job that Chris Britt does for Springfield, Illinois’ State-Journal Register.

    What are some unique jobs you’d like to see highlighted?

  • Don’t play horse with this kid

    This brings back some memories. When we took students to Chicago for a mission trip with ICI, we had endless gym time to practice all sorts of trick shots. Something tells me this guy was unstoppable at horse.

    Now I just need a video with extreme carpetball shots and we’d be all set.


    Since we’re talking high school and we’re talking basketball.     Check out these variations on basketball. I grew up playing most of these “in the slums of Granger, Indiana.” OK, it was the rich suburbs… but hyperbole is just too much fun.

    Twenty-one: all vs all, first to 21 wins. (I could write a book on local variations of 21. The game is different all over the country!)
    Make-it-take-it: team game, score a basket and your team keeps the rock.
    King of the court: multi-team game, your team wins a game to 10 and you keep playing.
    Knockout: all-vs.all, start at the free throw line and try to knock out the person in front of you.

  • Krispy Cream Eggs and Cheeseburger?

    I felt a little dirty watching this. This wasn’t the least bit appealing to me. In fact, I am now convinced that these women had just finished smoking a bowl before saying “action.”

  • Songs of Solomon Pick-up Lines

    Gosh, I love my job!

  • Nashville’s Ghetto Recap

    This is quickly becoming one of the fun things I do… I totally love being a part of the podcast. Here’s something I heard 3-4 times this weekend that blew me away. People love the way I end the show. I kind of get tired saying it, but it’s one of the driving things behind the whole show… “you may not here it from anyone else, but we want you to hear it from us… what you do matters.” One guy even told me that sometimes he doesn’t have time to watch the whole thing so he just scans to the end to hear that, because he needs it. Amen.
