Personally, I was pretty disappointed with Indy 4. I think it was a decent movie, but don’t think it gets more than a 5 out of 10.
Hey Mike,
guess who found your pants???
Mayor Mike
Who has your pants??
Greetings, Father Roderick.
As with all social media communities (Facebook, digg, StumbleUpon, Twitter, FriendFeed), individuals benefit by participating in the community. Thus, one cannot show up at any of these sites, however lofty the goal may be (in particular, proclaiming the gospel message of Jesus) without also being a part of the community. Thus, Father, not only do folks need to friend you @ these sites but you need to friend them and, more importantly, *participate* in discussion (and digging and stumbling) within these communities. What makes social media sites, especially digg and Stumble Upon, unique and powerful is this active and regular participation of the individuals. These social sites are not a broadcast medium like a blog or a podcast where you, the producer, control the content. No, the content is decided on by the community based on unique friendship algorithms. I hope I’ve given you further understanding.
Feel free to friend me @ these communities for further understanding. Peace to your day.
Uh oh! Hostage situation with Mike’s pants. Call in the authorities!!!
How do you know when a joke has gotten out of hand? When they name a Daily Breakfast episode after your pants!
Thank you, Louisa and Inge, for immortalizing me — or at least immortalizing my pants — and thank you, Fr. Roderick, for putting the story on the Daily Breakfast. I’ve been a fan since before DB came along, so this was quite a thrill. And I got to watch the program live on uStream, which made it all the more fun. Thank you again.
Mike,
you’re the Mayor of SQPN, what could we do? We are negotiating with the authorities to get you a statue, though…
Ow yeah, social network thingie: If you dig the podcast using ‘Share This’ you will digg it as an article. Digg has a special podcast section where you can digg both the podcast and episode numbers if you like a certain episode. Link follows:

The Digg links for all SQPN shows are in the Links list on the Newsletter archive at
http://datelinesqpn.wordpress.com
If you have Dugg your favourite shows, go on over and start Diggin’.
Mike needs a pair of suspenders, don’t you think?
Terry-
Greetings!
I am not sure why the digg links to the various SQPN podcasts are listed in the newsletter. What is SQPN’s goal by having them listed there? There *is* a benefit to having digg and SU (and perhaps other) buttons added to the new entries here @ SQPN so folks are reminded to add them to these social media sites.
Unless you are an active participant in digg (and I totally understand why folks do not want to be @ digg) then *diggin’* as you have suggested, is a futile activity.
Feel free to friend me @ these communities for further understanding: http://barbarakb.stumbleupon.com/ and http://digg.com/users/BarbaraKolbe.
Peace.
They’re listed there because I’m kind of a pack rat about information, and have a habit of putting together reference material. There are also links to all the RSS and iTunes feeds, uStream and Facebook pages, Twitter accounts and anything else I can think of that relate the shows and their creators. My goal, futile or no, was to have a one-stop-shopping-place for that information.
And a wonderful reference ’tis! (And your list of saints is one of the oldest and most extensive on the Web. I have used it for many years.) Only futility I was pointing out was asking SQPN supporters to digg these links. That is the only futility I wanted SQPN supporters to understand. Okay, Terry?
I am so sorry to interrupt, but I have been all over the SQPN site looking for the episode where Fr. Roderick talks about his online trainer program and I can’ find it. I am finally motivated to get in shape (and reward myself with some retreat in the fall if anyone has suggestions) and I need some kind of schedule to follow or I will just put it off and it won’t happen.
Anyone remember the name of the trainer site (or software if that’s what it is?)
Hi Fr. Roderick,
My yoga teacher once gave me a tip when I had problems falling asleep:
Imagine your house and the piece of land it is on. In your mind you go to the most eastern point of it and imagine an angel standing guard there, so that nothing can disturb your sleep. Then you go to the most western point of it and imagine another angel standing guard.
Do the same with the other two directions - usually you fall asleep before you reach the last one.
Good luck!

Hey Father, did love the podcast, but what happend to the sound? am I the only one? But I though there were huge differences in volume. Maybe it’s because I listen to them while I travel by train, so I have to have the volume up. But I still think most songs, that were supposed to be in the background, were to loud! I couldn’t here you anymore… What happend?
@ mike and Louisa and everybody, So cool to have you on twitter now!
Cheers!
Father Roderick,
I was wondering if you had tried EFT or tapping for your sleep issues. I find it to be a very powerful tool for all sorts of problems.
Hre is a link to a youtube video of a tapping session before bed to help you have deep, sound sleep.
I hope it helps, it has never failed me.

Just listened to this on the way to work this morning…and it forced me to pull out my “Doctor” hat. Do NOT make a habit of taking Benadryl (diphenhydramine) to go to sleep:
- Benadryl decreases REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. This is why you feel “hung over” the next morning. As with most things, your body adapts to the decrease in REM sleep, which is why the hangover feeling often goes away with chronic use.
- While Benadryl is not a sedative/hypnotic (and therefore not considered “addictive”), there is still a very real possibility of dependence. I personally know people who habitually take Benadryl to sleep, and they have reached the point that they CANNOT sleep without taking it. I challenge the caller to try going to sleep without Benadryl.
Father Roderick,
I have been a faithful listener from the days of the Catholic Insider and I’ve listened to every one of your Daily Breakfast shows. The first feedback on marriage completely offended me as a non-Catholic. So much so that I felt physically ill and thought of unsubscribing to the show. I realize that you do not necessarily support the views of all your listeners and you did not add anything to those totally bigoted remarks. In your show notes, you added “Catholic” marriage as opposed to the legal institution of marriage that this woman was trying to “protect”. I did manage to set these intolerant comments aside and finish listening to this show. The later feedback on Mike’s pants was the best funniest feedback that I’ve heard so it was worth it. I will have to learn to fast forward through listener comments that try to force reactionary conservative views on people. I am rarely offended by people except in extreme cases. This happened to me once before with the Daily Breakfast years ago when one caller said that all of Hollywood was full of immoral degenerates. Again, you simply played the feedback and did not add anything afterwards, which I appreciate. I would prefer that you don’t play feedback that would be considered offensive to people outside of the Catholic faith. Thank you.
We would prefer people outside the Catholic faith not do things that we would consider offensive. But what you gonna do?
Thanks for sharing Angela…and let me run this by you Terry.
My take is we would prefer people (inside the Catholc faith and outside the Catholic faith) not do things that we consider offensive. The Golden Rule.
Driving down the road of life requires a series of minor corrections with the steering wheel. If people don’t receive (and give) good input, the minor corrections with the steering wheel that are needed can’t be made.
Plan A…
We want people (Catholics and Non-Catholics) to let us know when we are doing something that may be offensive to them because many times we may not be aware that our actions are causing offense. If someone points a bad habit or poor behavior out to you, thank them for letting you know.
Conversely, we need to do our best to share with others when we find their actions and behavior offensive in case they too didn’t realize their behavior is offensive. This could be as simple as leaving the mobile phone in the car.
Chances are good that once an offender realizes their actions are offensive, they will realize they have reached the limit and will do their best to refrain from the actions in the future. (Most Catholics and Non-Catholics want to be good neighbors.) The Golden Rule.
If Plan A doesn’t work, we can always escalate to Plan B and Plan C…but let’s hope Plan A works.
__________
In the case of certain Hollywood Directors/Producers working on big budget projects that are offensive and are intentionally designed to attack Catholics/Christians…Plan A and The Golden Rule clearly don’t work with them as they undertake their offensive projects targeting Christians/Catholics.
So what do you think this Hollywood Director believes about The Golden Rule? Should they be surprised that Catholics/Christians vocalize and object to their choice of project content.
The problem isn’t with the movie industry, it’s with a small part of the movie industry that produces offensive content and/or sacrifices the mental health of young actors and actresses that are vulnerable to the perceived glamour of the Hollywood fringes that have money and a camera but not much else.
Thank you for your consideration of my comments. I don’t believe that Fr. Roderick intends for the audience of this show to be strictly Catholic. I feel that feedback which includes negative generalizations against a group (which is called discrimination) or forcing religious agenda onto government policy are not in line with the tone of this show. I realize that this may be more of a problem with me than any of the other listeners who like to gobble up such propaganda, so I will be more liberal in my use of the fast forward button.
Angela–
- You seem to assert that an attitude of “Hate the sin, love the sinner” is discrimination. Please provide supporting evidence for this assertion.
- You seem to be in favor of forcing an ATHEISTIC agenda onto government policy. Are you then in favor of removing “under God” from the Pledge of Allegiance? Or removing “In God We Trust” from US currency?
There, a nice considered response to us reactionary listeners who gobble up propaganda - which, of course, could not possibly be a negative generalization because that would be called discrimination.
Jeff,
You are projecting a lot onto Angela.
I’m not picking that up from Angela’s comments.
I agree with Angela that this show can appeal to more people than just Catholics.
And this is a great place for non-Catholics and Catholics to come together to learn more about each other and enjoy each others thoughts and interests.
I would be curious to learn more about what details in the marriage discussion offended Angela. … and Angela, you may want to be careful how you use the word bigot and intolerant….
…just one man’s thoughts from Columbus, Ohio.
The legal institution of marriage is all about money, estate and benefits. This is different from the religious institution of marriage. I do not believe legal marriages needs to be limited to man and woman couples. Sure, ban them from getting married in your churches. But having same sex marriage does not necessarily make society crumble. Since I am doomed to be flamed in these comments, this will my last entry.
