SILY 702- System Failure

Today I’m sharing something I’ve never talked about publicly. It’s a story I almost waited to tell, because honestly, we’re still in the middle of it. But I’ve come to believe that sometimes the most valuable lessons aren’t the ones you share from the other side of the mountain. They’re the ones you share from the climb.

TSTP 93- The Party

Two terrifying creatures just crashed Dustin’s solo run to the Food Mart, Eleven goes out on a limb to save him, and the gang goes underground to celebrate Nikki’s birthday.

S5E8 Five-Twenty-Ten

We are joined by Ynza for this episode of the podcast as we discuss this awesome episode of Fringe! We enthusiastically share excitement about Blair Brown being back in full force in this episode as well as how great Josh Jackson’s performance is playing a new version of Peter.

SILY 701- Hands of a Father

I want to tell you about a pair of hands. Hands that could lay a straight line of carpet across a living room floor, split a cord of firewood without breaking a sweat, or coax a stubborn CV joint back into place with nothing but basic tools and a whole lot of patience. Those were my dad’s hands.

TSTP 92- Enter the Storm

A blizzard has swallowed Hawkins whole, and the gang is more fractured and in more danger than ever before. In “Enter the Storm” (Chapter Seven), Darrell and Addi break down one of the season’s most intense and emotionally charged episodes yet.

SILY 700- Mountains of Meatloaf

Have you ever looked back at a season of your life that felt like a total waste? The season left you with feelings of frustration and regret? I’ve been thinking about that a lot lately, so you know I had to write a SILY about it.

634- Jumping into Popularity

634- Jumping into Popularity

A wise person once said that fools buy things they don’t want with money they don’t have to impress people they don’t like. This is the adult version of bungee jumping to try and be like your step-brother. Stop basing your decisions on what you hope or perceive to be the opinions of people who don’t even care about you. Base your decisions on those closest to you and put your focus on those people. Sometimes the change in focus will end up leading you to the same spot, but at least you’ll have gotten there for the right reasons and with the right people by your side.

633- Remembering Where You Are

633- Remembering Where You Are

We’ve seen it depicted in countless ways for all of our lives. Families torn apart by a variety of things, most of which can be summed up by failing to be present. I will always be grateful to Sammy for teaching me this valuable lesson at such a young age: wherever you are, be there. It helped me establish boundaries that have protected my marriage, my family, and my career. Boundaries are incredibly important. When we fail to honor them, other things creep in, take over, steal us away, and leave a wake of destruction in their path.

632- Bishop Family Values

632- Bishop Family Values

That Greek phrase “Na einai kalytero anthropo apo ton patera toy” translates to “Be a better man than your father.” Being a better man than our fathers should be the goal of each one of us. Whether our dad set a low bar or a high bar, we owe it to our families to not only be the best we know how to be, but to learn from others so we can be even better than we could otherwise be. My dad heroically ended generations of alcoholism, abuse, and fear. I have tried very hard to be an even better man than my father, and I hope with all that is in me that my son is a better man than me.

631- Reflections of a Doorkeeper

631- Reflections of a Doorkeeper

The Church IS full of hypocrites. That’s the point. The point of church is to help each other grow. To hold each other up, study together, pray together, worship together, and serve together. Warts, flaws, struggles, and everything. For you Christians, let’s be ever mindful of how our behavior affects others. We are called to a higher standard. Let’s do our best to uphold that, yet not act as if we’re perfect. We are called to extend mercy and grace. We are called to be known by love. 

S3E22 The Day We Died

S3E22 The Day We Died

“For all intents and purposes, that was the day we died.” We pick right up where we left off at the end of 3.21 for the season 3 finale of Fringe and are joined by the great David Wu (who also has a Fringetastic surprise to share!) to discuss this emotionally devastating episode with a cliffhanger that will fundamentally change Fringe as we know it for the remainder of its run!
