    Hartley is Melancholy and Kevin is on Probation.

    SHOW NOTES:

    The Story of The Ozark Music Festival: 3 Days of Sodom and Gomorrah in Sedalia, Missouri is a documentary—produced by Dustbin Film and directed by Jefferson Lujin—chronicling the infamous event which took place on the Missouri State Fairgrounds July 19-21, 1974. The film was screened in Sedalia earlier this week and is currently screening in Independence, Missouri July 19-21.

    • Watch the preview of the documentary.
    • A video interview with the Festival's promoter, attendees of the Festival, and the Documentary's director is included in a feature article of The Kansas City Star written this week, July 19.
    • British music author, journalist, and broadcaster Richard John Havers has a well-written reflection on the Festival also published this week on July 19 for discover music. .
    • The most recent podcast episode of A People's History of Kansas City entitled The Ozark Music Festival of 1974 can be heard on Apple Podcast, Spotify, Pandora, and Pocket Cast. The episode is produced by Kansas City's NPR station KCUR which also has a very informative article about the event and the making of the documentary.

    As of the date of this episode's publishing, there have been 38 record closes (all-time highs) on the S&P 500 in 2024. There are only 114 trading days remaining on the stock market this year (2024) in the United States.

    Hartley made reference to viewing a perspective of how close Presidential candidate Trump came to losing his life in the Pennsylvania campaign rally July 13. These videos show Trump's face in the shooter's cross hairs from Republic Media Network and a 3D visualization from pointconsciousness.


    The Missouri Department of Transportation Rule 903.18 Signing for School Areas states, in part, if a school speed limit flasher is installed, no other school flasher should be permitted. The fixed-message School Speed Limit assembly shall consist of a SCHOOL SPEED LIMIT XX WHEN FLASHING sign. School speed limits are in effect only when the flasher is operational. The Missouri Congress of Parents and Teachers, its councils and units, support legislation stiffening the penalties for speeding through school zones.

    The research department of Faith, Finances and F*Bombs could not find a Missouri standard regarding the enforcement of school zones when schools are not in session. The department will recommend, however, these helpful guidelines suggested by Louisiana Attorney Richard R. Kennedy.

  • Sally Talley and the WBA
    2024/07/05

    The 5th of July! This week on the podcast, Hartley and Kevin have fun with a fireworks theme. They reminisce over explosive experiences, discuss the rockets and dive bombs on the market, and share past and present smoke bombs.

    Show Notes:

    The "Talley Trilogy" of the late playwright Lanford Wilson:

    • Talley and Son, Setting: Lebanon, Missouri, July 4, 1944 (Premiered: 1985)
    • Talley's Folly, Setting: An old boathouse in rural Missouri, July 4, 1944 (Premiered: 1980)
    • 5th of July, Setting: Lebanon, Missouri, July 5, 1977 (premiered: 1978)

    Hartley references the article detailing the signal of the final evacuation of the Vietnam War.

    God as a consuming fire is not just about his judgment or discipline. It is also about his glory and majesty.

    “When Solomon finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of the Lord filled the temple. The priests could not enter the temple of the Lord because the glory of the Lord filled it. When all the Israelites saw the fire coming down and the glory of the Lord above the temple, they knelt on the pavement with their faces to the ground, and they worshiped and gave thanks to the Lord, saying, ‘He is good; his love endures forever’” (2 Chronicles 7:1-3).

    There is something majestic and awesome about the presence of God, his glory consumes everything around it. When he shows up, nothing else can stand in his presence. We become like Isaiah in his vision of the Lord.

    “In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple” (Isaiah 6:1).

    “’Woe to me!’ I cried. ‘I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty’” (Isaiah 6:5).

    The overwhelming majesty of who he is will cause you to bow, whether you like it or not. This is why God is a consuming fire. Hartley encourages listeners to go before God in worship and prayer remembering who he is, why God is a consuming fire: He is trying to burn away the things that harm you and prevent you from being what he wants you to be.

  • No Typo? No Zero!
    2024/04/27

    Hartley and Kevin discuss Caitlin Clark, listener feedback, the promise of a car and receiving a daily allowance versus a lump sum.

    SHOW NOTES:

    • On the day this episode was recorded, the Wall Street Journal reported the aforementioned Iowa star-turned-No. 1 pick in the WNBA draft has agreed to an eight-year, $28 million contract with Nike that features a signature shoe, giving Clark the most lucrative shoe deal in women's basketball history.
    • Rookies' salaries in the WNBA™ are determined by their draft position. Caitlin Clark's base salary for her first year in the league is around $76,000. In April 2024, CBS reported that Clark's four-year rookie contract is worth a total of $338,056. She'll be paid $76,535 in 2024, $78,066 in 2025, $85,873 in 2026, and $97,582 in 2027.
    • You can read more here about the highest-paid professional women's basketball players and the disparity between NBA and WNBA salaries.
    • Like the king who stopped paying his son a yearly allowance, God desires to give us day by day all that is sufficient for the day. Every person is in need of God’s unbroken love, companionship, wisdom, and giving. Creating space in each day for God and intentionally spending at least a few minutes within this space to personally interact and listen to God is a great way for these and other spiritual needs to be met.
