Coffee and cigarettes. Alles, was man für ein gesundes Frühstück braucht. Jim Jarmusch nutzt Kaffee und Zigaretten, um Menschen in Kontakt zu bringen, oder in manchen Fällen nicht in Kontakt zu bringen, obwohl sie zusammen sitzen. Wir bekommen in elf kurzen Episoden Ausschnitte aus Gesprächen präsentiert, die nicht nur die titelgebenden Requisiten, sondern auch eine gewisse Awkwardness, Absurdität und Kommunikationsprobleme gemeinsam haben. Fast alle halten sich an Kaffee und Zigaretten fest, um die Lücken zu füllen, die zwischen den Worten und den Menschen klaffen. Im Gegensatz zu Hitchcock, der Film als Zusammenschnitt der spannenden Teile des Lebens begreift, sind Jim Jarmuschs Gespräche hier ein supercut der Belanglosigkeiten, Banalitäten und Absurditäten. Keine Action, kein großes Drama, keine laugh out loud Comedy, kein Horror, kein Thriller, keine Doku… Plor… what the hell is this movie?

Most people have that one memory that makes them cringe - the party where they said the wrong thing, the meeting where they stumbled over their words, or when a simple "no thanks" to a drink turned into the most awkward moment of the night.   You spend so much energy trying to avoid these uncomfortable situations, building elaborate strategies to never feel that squirmy sensation again. But what if this avoidance actually makes social situations harder, especially when you're trying to change your drinking habits?   Tune in this week to learn how awkwardness impacts your ability to say no to a drink, why the Connector and Mask archetypes struggle most with this, and a simple reframe that transforms awkwardness from proof that something's wrong with you into a normal part of being human.   Find a personalized approach that helps you change your habit in my new book, The Ultimate Guide to Drinking Less, here: https://rachelhart.com/guide/   Discover alternative approaches to drinking less inside our membership program, Take a Break: https://rachelhart.com/tab/   Get the full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://rachelhart.com/440

Today, we face the elephant in the pew: pornography. The church won't preach about it. The culture glamorizes it. But here, we call sin what it is. We expose the damage. We dismantle the lies. We declare war on the chains that are binding Christian men and women from the inside out.Yes, there will be pushback. Silence. Awkwardness. Maybe even shame.But hear this loud and clear—Jesus is still King. His blood breaks every chain. His truth drowns every lie. “So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed” (John 8:36).Are you ready to step out of the shadows? What will you do when the battle comes to your doorstep?Buckle up. This one's going to be raw, real, and rooted in truth.Episode Highlights:05:06 – Here's why that's a catastrophic problem. Because silence is the perfect breeding ground for sin. When we don't talk about something, it grows, it festers. It becomes a hidden cancer that spreads unchecked. Porn thrives in secrecy. It thrives in shame. It thrives in the darkness. Ephesians 5:11 says: This have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. 34:13 – Let me make this controversial but necessary statement. A Christian addicted to pornography may still be saved, but they will never live in victory until they break free. They may have eternal life, but they will never have abundant life while they're enslaved to lust. And that's why this is so incredibly urgent. Because Satan doesn't just want you in hell; he wants you ineffective on earth. And porn is one of the most effective ways to keep you paralyzed.41:57 – John 8:36 says this: So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. That's not a metaphor. That's not a vague encouragement. That's a promise. Because if Jesus can raise the dead, heal the sick, and forgive the worst of sinners, he can break the chains of pornography in your life. Let me tell you something controversial, yet true. You can't beat porn on your own. Willpower isn't enough. Filters aren't enough. Shame isn't enough.Connect with Paul M. NeubergerWebsite

Send us a textAwakening is awkward. That uncomfortable feeling when you realize the very behaviors you criticize in others are actually reflections of your own unresolved issues. It's the first step on a transformative journey most people never consciously take.In this deeply personal episode, I share the eight consistent stages I've experienced while shedding outdated programming and beliefs. From the initial finger-pointing at others to the beautiful moment when you can genuinely laugh at who you used to be, each step represents a crucial turning point in authentic transformation. I vulnerably walk through my recent struggle with caffeine addiction despite having only one kidney and adrenal gland, revealing how I recognized my excessive patterns, battled the internal resistance, made the difficult decision to change, and navigated the inevitable tests that followed.The awakening journey isn't linear or perfect. It involves dancing the two-step—one step forward, two steps back—before eventually reaching the victory of genuine transformation. Whether you're working through substance issues, relationship patterns, or simply awakening to greater self-awareness, these stages appear with remarkable consistency. The key lies in understanding that awkwardness isn't something to avoid but rather an invitation to vulnerability, where true connection and intimacy flourish.Where are you in the awakening process? Perhaps you're still in the mirror phase, battling the truth, or courageously making decisions about what no longer serves you. Wherever you stand, remember that awakening is an inside job—nobody can do your transformation work but you.

It's one of the most awkward, emotionally charged leadership shifts out there.In this episode of Promoted: Stop Doubting, Start Leading, Karen Gombault walks you through how to manage this transition without losing authority, overcompensating, or shrinking yourself. If you've ever wondered how to handle blurred lines, shifting dynamics, or that one colleague who wanted the job you now have—this episode is for you.Walk away with real-world strategies to lead former peers with clarity, fairness, and the kind of authority that doesn't require arrogance.5 KEY TAKEAWAYS:1. Awkwardness is normal—and temporary. Acknowledge the discomfort openly. Avoid pretending nothing changed.2. Set expectations and boundaries early. Be clear, calm, and specific to avoid confusion or favoritism.3. Authority comes from action, not approval. You don't need to "prove" you're the boss—you already are.4. Recalibrate relationships. Keep it human, but professional. Avoid gossip, oversharing, or clinging to old dynamics.5. Use your insider knowledge wisely. Leverage what you know to lead with empathy, not nostalgia.“Navigating through the discomfort is one of the most powerful leadership skills that you can develop.” – Karen GombaultStepping into leadership from within your own team is uncomfortable—but it's also one of the biggest growth opportunities in your leadership journey.

This week on The Go-To Food Podcast, we sit down with David Ellis—restaurant critic and Going Out editor at The London Standard, and the man who inherited Fay Maschler's legendary column.Recorded at The Orange in Pimlico (a place David knows but has never reviewed), this episode is a no-holds-barred look at the realities of restaurant criticism—from the dishes that blew his mind to the meals that nearly broke him.David talks about the awkwardness of replacing Jimmy Famurewa, why the pressure to be first in print still matters, breaks down what makes a five-star review, reveals why overhyped sandwich shops drive him mad (except Max's), and explains why he just can't recommend the River Cafe even though everyone else says it's iconic.We dive into the state of London's dining scene today, and why it's become safer, more cautious, and—frankly—more boring. As he sees it, too many places are playing to formulas, not passion. There's a creeping sameness to rotisserie chicken joints and bistros built to emulate proven hits like Josephine or Bouchon Racine. His feelings are just as strong when it comes to the nostalgia-fuelled revival of traditional pie and mash shops. Despite their place in London's history, he found the food itself diabolical, even after following the exact rituals—ordering properly, adding the chili vinegar—he still left wondering why these places deserve saving at all.He also shares his favorite meals of all time, from Pierre Koffmann's legendary pig's trotter to the surprise brilliance of sweetbreads at The Ritz, and a melon-sorbet combo that rewired his brain. Plus: the ice cream in St Ives, the secret market spots in Portugal, and the weekend food escapes he always dreams about.Smart, sharp, and unsparingly honest, this is David Ellis exactly as you want him—funny, thoughtful, and completely unfiltered.-------Please leave us a great rating and a comment and share it with your friends - it really helps us grow as a show.If you're in the industry and are looking for the greatest POS system in the world than look no further as Blinq are tearing up the rulebook—no long-term contracts, no hidden fees, and no per-device charges.Just £49 a month for unlimited devices and 24/7 UK-based support that's always there, in person when you need it.Built for hospitality, by hospitality, blinq is the fastest, easiest POS system on the market—so intuitive, anyone can use it.

The Tension of Emergence: Befriending the discomfort and pleasure of slowing down & letting go of control, to lead and thrive

Ever feel awkward in trying to express, connect or attune to another? Ever interpret your awkwardness as a failure? In this short practice episode, Jennifer England invites us to explore mispronunciation not just as a linguistic slip, but as a relational metaphor. Inspired by recent conversations with X'unei Lance Twitchell, you're invited to notice the moments you "miss the mark" in connection—and to consider what might be fertile, even beautiful, in the in-between.You'll be guided through:A reframing of mispronunciation as an opening, not an error.Gentle prompts to explore awkwardness, misunderstanding, and self-expression.A two-part inquiry to help you stay present with the discomfort of “not quite getting it right.”An embodied invitation to soften and stay—instead of fix or retreat.Whether you're navigating a tough moment with a loved one or reflecting on your own self-expression, this episode is a chance to pause and relate differently to misunderstanding itself.Links & resources—For more practices and inspiration from Jennifer get bi-weekly inspiration to help you navigate the hard mess of leading and being humanFollow Jennifer on Instagram or LinkedInTalk with Jennifer!

Why does it feel so awkward and difficult to take action the way we know we need to as leaders in the coffee shop? If you are human, you feel a kind of resistance when it comes to making decisions, having those conversations, and generally taking decisive steps into leadership. What are we worried about? Well, there surely are some things we can fall prey to and need to guard against when using the authority of the role to serve others, but unless we get over the awkward first steps, we cannot truly serve well.  Today on Shift Break we will be talking about how you can plan on this awkwardness and how you can overcome it so you can be the effective owner, manager, trainer, and leader your baristas and customers need you to be.  Related episodes:   368 : Walking the Line Between Leadership and Friendship 336: A Cafe Leadership Masterclass w/ Selina Viguera of Blue Bottle Coffee 109 : Leadership Abandonment Syndrome : Lack of development in senior staff and what to do about it 194 : Encore Episode!

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHAlex is reluctant to go to her sister's baby shower. She knows her family will just bombard her with the usual questions—why she isn't married to her boyfriend, Finn, yet, and why he's only working at a record store.Meanwhile, Finn heads up to her room, strips down, and starts dancing to "Buttons," expecting Alex to walk in soon. But instead of Alex, her sister's kids walk in. Awkwardness ensues.At the end of the night, Alex talks to her mom, with whom she has a great relationship. She even works for her mom's company. But then her mom drops a bombshell—she's dying.Cut to some time later: Alex is lying in bed alone. Her mom has passed.She heads to the lawyer's office for the reading of the will. Expecting to see Old Man Sullivan, she's surprised when a young lawyer named Brad walks in instead. And Brad only brings bad news. First, Alex and her family must keep the house for at least a year and can't sell anything inside it—not that she minds. But she's shocked to learn that her mom made her sister-in-law the new CEO of the business. As for Alex, she won't receive her inheritance right away. Instead, Brad hands her an envelope with instructions to open it when she's alone.Back home, she puts in the DVD from the envelope. Her mom appears on the screen, explaining that she wants Alex to live her best life, starting with completing her old "Life List." Every time she checks something off, she'll receive another DVD from her mom. And when she finishes the list, she'll get a final envelope. What's inside? Who can say.Determined to start fresh, Alex breaks up with Finn. She begins tackling the list—reading Moby-Dick, learning the piano—but it's harder than she expected. So, she pivots, tries stand-up comedy, and earns her first DVD.Meanwhile, Brad keeps showing up, being unexpectedly nice to her.She's starting to enjoy herself overall, but then she reconnects with her dad—only to learn he's not actually her biological father. Her mom had an affair with a man named Johnny Alvarez. He is her real father.She starts working at a school and meets a guy named Garrett. They start dating, and things are going great—until she throws a dinner party with her friends, and Garrett hates them. That's… unfortunate.After a long search, she finally tracks down Johnny. She takes a road trip with Brad and his girlfriend, Nina, to meet him. But Nina starts sensing something between Brad and Alex—and she's right. Nina eventually heads home, and Alex and Brad end up sleeping together.The next morning, Alex meets Johnny, and they agree to get breakfast the following day. But he never shows up.On the way home, she and Brad get into a huge fight. He tells her she should break up with Garrett because "that guy sucks." She does. Then, in frustration, she tears up her list—after all, the only thing left is to "find true love."But then Old Man Sullivan gives her the final DVD and envelope anyway, and it's all very sweet.Finally, she realizes—she does love Brad. She goes to find him. They kiss.

A few months ago, I made a professional connection, and the energy felt good. As we neared the end of our working relationship, I realized I didn't want this connection to end – but there was no logical way for us to get together. We weren't in the same industry. I didn't know if we had overlapping hobbies.The whole situation got me thinking about this weird gray zone we sometimes find ourselves in when we can't rely on proximity to make friends. It can be awkward … almost like dating! But unlike dating, friendship expectations can be unclear. Will this be a close friend? Or an acquaintance? What do you actually want to come out of this connection?There will probably always be uncomfortable moments in new friendships. But I believe that if we talk about it, then hopefully we can accept that this is a normal part of the process and keep pushing forward.In this episode you'll hear about:The gray zone of making new friends and the importance of proximity and consistencyVulnerabilities in starting new friendships, including admitting we want to hang out with this person againThe tendency to overthink messages and interactions, and how sometimes making new friends is like starting a new exercise routinePushing through the discomfort of “friend dating” and navigating things like health restrictions in social settingsResources & Links:Check out the roots framework as featured in Episode 12.Like what you hear?

He's fascinated by how the same traits that cause us social embarrassment can also drive exceptional accomplishment. As a fellow awkward person, I was delighted to sit down with Ty and discuss the competitive advantages of social awkwardness, and how sometimes what society labels a weakness turns out to be our greatest strength.This...is A Bit of Optimism.For more on Ty and his work check out: his book, AWKWARD: The Science of Why We're Socially Awkward and Why That's Awesometytashiro.com

When your horse hesitates, pins its ears, or struggles with a movement, what's really happening? It's easy to jump to conclusions—assuming resistance, pain, or a training gap. But the key to true understanding lies in separating observation from interpretation. In this episode, Stacy Westfall explores the importance of neutral fact-finding when assessing your horse's body, why riders often misread behaviors, and how small mindset shifts can lead to major breakthroughs. Key Takeaways: We naturally assign meaning to behaviors. Riders often assume their horse "won't" do something when the truth may be that they can't—yet. Seeing clearly takes practice. Developing the ability to separate facts from assumptions allows for better decision-making in training. Video is a powerful tool. Watching recordings of your rides can reveal overlooked details and refine your ability to analyze movement. Awkwardness doesn't always mean wrong. Some physical discomfort—like an unbalanced canter transition—is a normal part of building strength. Not all resistance is pain-related. Horses, like people, can develop habits or attitudes about work, even after an initial physical issue is resolved. Learning to assess your horse's body with clarity will improve your training, communication, and overall partnership. This episode is part of a four-part series based on the Four Square Foundation Quiz, designed to help you pinpoint your next best step. Tune in next week as Stacy explores the next quadrant: The Horse's Mind.
