If you ever feel a wave of anxiety or that vague sense of dread, your first instinct probably isn't to reach for a pain reliever. But there's evidence that something you already have in your medicine cabinet may affect more than just physical pain—and the reason why is surprisingly unexpected. https://www.livescience.com/28770-tylenol-eases-existential-dread.html Plants don't have brains—so how could they possibly be intelligent? Yet research suggests plants can sense threats, communicate with each other, and even change their behavior in ways that seem surprisingly strategic. Zoë Schlanger, award-winning writer for The Atlantic and author of The Light Eaters: How the Unseen World of Plant Intelligence Offers a New Understanding of Life on Earth (https://amzn.to/4deE12f), explores this hidden world and explains how plants may be far more responsive and complex than we ever imagined. Dining out often comes with sticker shock. Between rising menu prices, service charges, and tipping, a simple meal can add up quickly. But what's actually driving those costs? And why do some insiders argue that restaurants may still be underpriced? Andrew Friedman takes us behind the scenes of the restaurant industry and reveals the complex economics, labor, and logistics that shape the price of what ends up on your plate. He is author of the book The Dish: The Lives and Labor Behind One Plate of Food (https://amzn.to/3xWJjiE). Let out a good sigh—it might do more than you think. People all over the world sigh, often without realizing it, and it plays a role in both how we communicate and how our bodies function. https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/brain-babble/201304/why-do-we-sigh PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS POCKET HOSE: For a limited time, when you purchase a new Pocket Hose Ballistic, you'll get a FREE 360 degree rotating pocket pivot and a FREE thumb drive nozzle!

Shohei Ohtani capped off a dominant series for the rotation with 6 strong innings. And he did so without also slotting into the DH spot. Should Shohei just pitch on start days? The hosts discuss. One player who would benefit from more Ohtani days off is Dalton Rushing. The young catcher is breaking out this season. Is he proving Andrew Friedman right once again? Alanna shares her thoughts.

Tom Valenti, one of my favorite chefs of all time (who also happened to be a swell, generously spirited human being), died suddenly last week. Tom was a friend of mine, so I gathered writer Andrew Friedman (who co-wrote Tom's cookbooks) and Dinosaur Bar-B-Que founder John Stage to celebrate the life and times of the best chef you might never have heard of.  Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

[**New episodes of ATTC are now available in video! You can watch on Spotify, or YouTube. Or you can just keep on listening in all the same places you usually do.**] The NYC and American chef community lost a beloved and influential figure last week with the sudden death of Chef Tom Valenti after a short illness. Tom presided over the kitchens of such fabled restaurants as Alison on Dominick Street, Cascabel, Butterfield 81, Ouest, and Cesca, among others. In addition to becoming known for a bold, lusty culinary style, Tom helped found the Windows of Hope charity to raise money for the families of restaurant workers who perished in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack on New York City. He also possessed a quick wit and abiding gift for silliness. (In addition to all of that, he authored three cookbooks in collaboration with Andrew, who was also his publiciast in the 1990s.) In this episode, Andrew shares some remembrances of  Tom, and airs a conversation with Tom that they began in 2020, and which was never finished. We recommend you read the NY Times obituary of Tom Valenti mentioned in this episode. Our great thanks to our presenting sponsor, meez, the recipe-operating system for culinary professionals.

Alexia Duchêne's West Village (NYC) restaurant Le Chêne opened about eight months ago, and has already found its rhythm as a home for Alexia's personalized yet unmistakably French cuisine.

On today's episode of The Sporting Tribune Today, Grant Mona connects two vibrant corners of the sports world — Dodgers Spring Training vibes with voices from camp, and Clippers All-Star Weekend reactions and practice insights as Kawhi Leonard leads the way. Segment One — Dodgers Spring Training with Roberts, Friedman, Díaz & Betts Grant opens with the latest from Dodgers Spring Training at Camelback Ranch, where Dave Roberts, Andrew Friedman, Edwin Díaz, and Mookie Betts have been setting the tone for the 2026 season. Manager Dave Roberts emphasized focus, consistency, and “looking forward” as the squad kicked off full-squad workouts, encouraging the group to ignore external expectations and lean into daily preparation. Roberts' message included contributions from Díaz, Kyle Tucker, Miguel Rojas and others, highlighting the depth and experience assembled around Los Angeles' championship core. Veteran closer Edwin Díaz, newly signed to anchor the bullpen, has talked openly about choosing the Dodgers because of their winning culture and recent World Series success, and Betts has embraced his role in camp with an eye toward another postseason run. The spring atmosphere — fueled by big names like Shohei Ohtani and fans flocking to workouts — reflects high expectations for a club chasing another title. Segment Two — Kawhi, Clippers Practice & All-Star Buzz In the second segment, Grant turns to the hardwood as he breaks down Kawhi Leonard's post–All-Star Weekend perspective and Clippers practice comments from Ty Lue, Isaiah Jackson, and Bennedict Mathurin. Leonard, who starred during the All-Star festivities — including a 31-point outing highlighted by his clutch play — has embraced the spotlight and the new format, saying he's “up for whatever grabs the attention of the consumer.” His continued elite production this season — with averages near the top of the league in scoring and impact — has made him one of the most talked-about players in a lopsided season for Clippers basketball. Head coach Ty Lue discussed the team's evolving identity and how leaders like Kawhi help set practice standards, while young pieces like Isaiah Jackson and Bennedict Mathurin shared enthusiasm about growth, defensive focus, and building chemistry as the Clippers chase consistency in a competitive Western Conference.

Everyone agrees the Lakers just aren't good enough - so is everyone just ok with them basically punting on this year esp with a 27-year-old star in Luka?
