The Mediocrates PodcastEpisode 19: Nativity of Blessed Virgin Mary, Total Self Giving Love and Professional WrestlingHappy Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, y'all! Today's episode is the last one in this format. I'm making some changes.
Something New: I'm making a format change. For some reason, I've got it stuck in my mind that I've run off my audience. I don't know what I've done or said, but something happened for everyone to leave, and it bothers me. Coming in Episode 20, I'm making a format change and we'll see if you like it better, okay?

The Mediocrates PodcastEpisode 18: A Southern Baptist Pastor Chooses The Catholic Church, RCIA Inquirer Stories, and SEC FOOTBALL IS BACK, BABY! WHOOO!!!I'm so excited to record this episode. It took a major effort to take my full-scale conversion story as a Baptist minister becoming Catholic and condense it into one small segment. However, I think I got the major points across. It's not so much that I left anything of my former denomination behind as much as it is what I've gained through the Sacraments, especially the Eucharist and Reconciliation. I hope the story encourages you.
Something New: We're in week 2 of our RCIA and I am really enjoying getting to know the inquirers and the reasons they have for coming to R...
2021-08-2635 minThe Mediocrates PodcastEpisode 17: How Do You Do RCIA Well When Your Kid Just Got Married and Your Dad Heart is Hurting? MAD LIBS!This week's episode comes as my parish kicked off its RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) ministry, and comes on the heels of celebrating my daughter's wedding. Emotionally, I'm all over the place right now. Dads and Moms, I'm sure you're with me on this. Whew!
Something New: Like I said, my kid got married. I've never done this before, so it was a real experience. I'm in no rush for anything else for quite some time now. Daddy needs to renew and refresh. I gotta say this though. My little girl was just so amazingly beautiful in her wedding d...
2021-08-2035 minThe Mediocrates PodcastEpisode 16: Elijah Wishes He Could Backflip Like Gable Steveson Did In The 2020 Olympics - Plus Collectible Star Wars Glasses!I apologize for getting this episode released. I got real discouraged last week, because it looked like listenership dropped steeply, and it really bothered me. That's the weird thing about social media isn't it - how it can impact our emotions? Anyway, I was killing my brain trying to figure out what I had done to run you off. Whatever the reason, I hope you'll come back and engage in the conversation. I really do enjoy hearing all the feedback and responses to the show. Feedback can be DM on Twitter @MediocratesPod or Anchor...
2021-08-1027 minThe Mediocrates PodcastEpisode 15: Tokyo 2020 Olympics in 2021, Wrestling, Olympic Bloodsport, and How Are We Treating Our Fellow Man Post Pandemic?Does anybody else remember the Mr. T cartoon where he was like a Gymnastics coach or something, yet they solved mysteries? Well I do. It's time for the 2020 Olympics, and I couldn't be more excited. Certainly, with all the world talking about it and watching remotely (since we can't be there), media is going to be live with opinion and reaction (mostly reaction). This reminds me of the way I've noticed people treating each other online and in person during the pandemic. It's not pretty, and it's on my mind.

2021-07-3030 minThe Mediocrates PodcastEpisode 14: Leaving a Legacy at Walt Disney World with Your Chosen DisciplesHey, I changed some of the audio tracks. Let me know what you think!
Something New: My wife and I just finished the season 2 finale of The Chosen. If you have not yet seen this series, please make a point to go back to season 1 and watch it all the way through. Dallas Jenkins and the team at Angel Studios have done an AMAZING job of bringing the story of Jesus and His followers (and non-followers) to the screen in a faithful and thought-provoking way. I'm investing in season 3. I can't not invest in this great product. I learned in seminar...
2021-07-2227 minThe Mediocrates PodcastEpisode 13: Bad Shepherds, Bad Parents and Bad Disciples on an Airplane with No Air ConditioningWhy are airports so hot? I mean, you're organized kinda like an 80s era shopping mall with shops and stalls and vendors. So why can't you control the climate like a mall did? I'm asking for a friend. Today's release should have happened earlier, but life happened. Oh well. I didn't get any hate mail. There's a lot going on in the ol noggin this week. I hope you have fun crawling between my ears.
Something New: Airports, Airplanes and Air Conditioning. These three things should get along...
2021-07-1830 minThe Mediocrates PodcastEpisode 12: The Gospel of FIreworks, Water Parks, and My Personal Crusade Against Participation TrophiesI hope you had a great 4th of July weekend. If you happen to be British, sorry about all that, bros. I'm glad we are friends now. Tonight, we recap my family trip to Tennessee to visit the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and neighboring Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and Sevierville (soon to be home to the largest Buc-ee's EVER!). I'm also inviting you to join my personal crusade against participation trophies. In fact, I encourage you to read Harrison Bergeron by Kurt Vonnegut for a bit of dystopian (aka now) perspective.
While I'm asking you for things, why not go ahead...
2021-07-0828 minThe Mediocrates PodcastEpisode 11: It's Hard to Be Humble at the Pool When Howard Scott Warshaw and Steak-Umm Are Tweeting You BackToday was the most fun I've had on Twitter in a long while, after getting Twitter responses from Howard Scott Warshaw, the creator of such #Atari2600 hits as Yar's Revenge and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, as well as learning Twitter life lessons from Steak-Umm. Who knew? So much fun today on the Tweeter Machine. This week we're going to dive deep into what it means to have a crisis of credibility, and how we can try to work to fix it. That, and how much I miss the community pool and actually living like we...

Well today's for you. Please join me in celebrating a win for the regular joe at team trivia before diving inside my skull for a look at parenting.

2021-06-2628 minThe Mediocrates PodcastEpisode 9: "Hold It Till We Get to Buc-ee's" and Other Psycho Social Spiritual Father's Day SayingsLet me tell you something, Brother. If haven't gone to Buc-ee's, you need to make it happen. Nuff said.
Something New: This is the special Father's Day edition of the Mediocrates Podcast. I hope you brought your dad jokes. I'm taking all dads, biological or otherwise, to Mass with me this morning in prayer, and I'm especially praying for those who are lonely, or hurting, or have no one to pray for them.

Something New: Mediocrates is a sad robot today. Not handling the emotions very well as I realize how fast time passes, and how quickly children grow up and away. Pray for parents. These kids don't come with instruction manuals.

2021-06-1734 minThe Mediocrates PodcastEpisode 7: Olympic Kumite, the Power of Story and Jean Claude Van Damme Doing the SplitsWith the Olympics weeks away, there are sports on the brain, and I can't think sports without thinking of Bloodsport and JCVD. Plus, am I an influencer?
Something New: I got a lot of impressions from a tweet I made about Simone Biles last week. We'll consider American dominance in the Tokyo games.
Mind of Mediocrates: I can't quit thinking about what an influencer does. I got some feedback last week that I need to address in this episode. The feedback also reminds me of the power of story, so we'll look inside the mind to see what we can see.

2021-06-1126 minThe Mediocrates PodcastEpisode 6: Justin Martyr with a GI Joe Lunchbox in British Columbia Fight Grizzly BearsWhat do metal lunchboxes, survival shows, and pagan converts to Christianity have in common? Not much. Or do they?
Something New: #AloneShow Season 8 is here! Follow 10 survival contestants as they live off the land in Grizzly inhabited British Columbia! And to think I used to believe people lived there.
