A McDonald's wedding, a Little League World Series pep talk, lots of lizards, Miss Universe Canada, and a whole lot more! And, of course our passage from GK Chesterton: "Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly. Solemnity flows out of men naturally, but laughter is a leap. It is easy to be heavy, hard to be light. Satan fell by the force of gravity."

It's a rapid-fire episode where we cover some baseball, a bad toddler on a plane, Florida Man, Kay Ivy bringing back a cult favorite, another impaling, snakes, and earthquakes. And, of course our passage from Jerry Sittser: "It is not what God does for us that demonstrates his greatest answer to prayer; it is what God does in us. God wants to change us to his liking, not to change the world to our liking."

We're buzzing the tower on this episode of Passages! In our rapid fire stories, we cover the Blue Angels, wildfire smoke, Nathan's hatred of NASA, how much killer whales really hate sunfish, 3D printing of the future, a woman's malpractice suit, an ER nurse and a walking stick, and someone who doesn't know how to drive. Also, there's a doozy of a Bad Preacher (or should we say Apostle?), and this week's passage from Jiddu Krishnamurti: "The ability to observe without evaluating is the highest form of intelligence."

Jason, Jackson, and Patrick hold down the show this week with Francis Bacon: "If a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts; but if he will be content to begin with doubts, he shall end in certainties.”

It's another rapid-fire episode ranging from a rogue bison to loud datacenters and daylight savings time. Then, we get into what's going on Pell City - WHAT ARE THEY SEARCHING FOR - and why soccer players wear bras. Some fish are sentient and Patty Labelle tears it up at the MLB All Stars game. And, our passage from Justin Welsh: "Modern luxury is the ability to think clearly, sleep deeply, move slowly, and live quietly in a world designed to prevent all four."

In this episode, we cover a wide, rapid fire range of topics from snakes to dog's names to bigfoot to baby Jesus paintings and more. Also, our passage from CS Lewis' Four Loves: "“In friendship...we think we have chosen our peers. In reality a few years' difference in the dates of our births, a few more miles between certain houses, the choice of one university instead of another...the accident of a topic being raised or not raised at a first meeting--any of these chances might have kept us apart. But, for a Christian, there are, strictly speaking no chances. A secret master of ceremonies has been at work. Christ, who said to the disciples, 'Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you,' can truly say to every group of Christian friends, 'Ye have not chosen one another but I have chosen you for one another.' The friendship is not a reward for our discriminating and good taste in finding one another out. It is the instrument by which God reveals to each of us the beauties of others.”

We're joined by two returning guests tonight, it's America's birthday, someone got engaged at the top (no, for real, the very top) of the Empire State Building, and we get the low down on a hate triangle in college football. Also, the French hate our AC, and a medical miracle occurred in 1983. And, our passage, the poem "How Alive" by Wade Forester.

In this week's episode, the guys remember Tim, Drew has a book sale, some baby giraffes are rescued, and Nathan gets pranked. Also, the guys discover a very special toilet, some really cool racing, and our passage from Aldous Huxley: “It’s dark because you are trying too hard. Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly. Yes, feel lightly even though you’re feeling deeply. Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them.”
