Stef takes a trip down memory lane after going to The Comedy Store last week. Cecily re-watched St. Elmo's Fire and has a LOT of notes. 

In this conversation, Chris and Kevin explore the importance of boredom in our lives, discussing how it can lead to greater creativity, self-reflection, and personal growth. Boredom is a lost skill (yes they consider it a skill) these days because we as a society have done an excellent job eliminating boredom and the discomfort that comes with it through constantly being connected via our phones and technology. What we fail to realize is that the discomfort we feel when bored actually allows our minds to wander, self reflect, and make connections surrounding life's most important questions: Why am I here? What purpose does my life have? Where can I add more meaning to my life? etc. They reference Dr. Arthur Brooks' insights on happiness and fulfillment, emphasizing the need to disconnect from technology to allow our minds to wander and think deeply. Key Takeaways1. Boredom is essential for creativity and self-reflection.2. Disconnecting from technology can enhance our mental well-being.3. The default mode network in our brain activates during boredom, promoting introspection.4. Embracing discomfort can lead to meaningful insights.5. Setting boundaries with technology can improve our quality of life.6. Boredom allows us to explore deeper questions about our purpose.Link to video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orQKfIXMiA8

When most people hear “capsule wardrobe,” they picture a tiny closet full of plain basics—beige sweaters, black trousers, a sensible blazer. Practical? Sure. But inspiring? Not so much. And that's exactly why capsules have a reputation for being… Well, frankly? A snooze-fest.   But in my experience, a capsule wardrobe can be one of the most exciting and freeing ways to get dressed—when it's built around your unique style, your real life, and the right mix of staples and star pieces. It's not about stripping your closet down to a rigid checklist. It's about curating pieces you actually love, so you can dress with confidence and ease every single day.   When your wardrobe feels exciting, everything else gets easier—your mornings, your mood, and the way you show up at work, on the weekends, or at special events. It's not just about clothes. It's about confidence.   In this episode, we're going to reimagine what a capsule wardrobe can look like and how to build one that feels both stylish and personal. If you've ever wanted to simplify your closet but worried that going the capsule wardrobe route would feel restrictive or dull, you're going to love what's ahead.   FREE 5-MIN PERSONAL STYLE QUIZ: https://herstylellc.com/quiz HER STYLE ON INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/heatherriggsstyle/ JOIN HER STYLE COLLECTIVE: https://herstylellc.com/collective   Related Episodes: 188 – Bored with Your Wardrobe?

Let's get real about boredom, especially when you're taking a break from alcohol.In this week's episode, I'm unpacking why “I'm bored” can feel shamey, why stillness can spike dread for trauma survivors and neurodivergent brains, and how comparison pours petrol on the fire. We talk Peter Levine, Internal Family Systems, Kristin Neff, Tara Brach, and Brene Brown, but keep it super practical for real life. If “busy” has been your personality, this one's a deep exhale and a warm reminder that you're not broken; you're human. What we cover: The sneaky origins of boredom shame from childhood and why it sticks. Boredom ≠ lack of stimulation for trauma survivors and ND folks, it's the threat of being with ourselves. The “second arrow” of self-judgment and how it multiplies pain. Why our nervous system sometimes tries to discharge stored stress in the quiet. How neurodivergent masking leads to crash cycles, comparison, and coping. Practical reframes: becoming the observer, stopping the second arrow, and meeting real needs. Radical acceptance and the beauty of a “nice little life.” Small, doable ways to build capacity for stillness without reaching for a drink. Listen if: You're alcohol-free or AF-curious, you identify as “always busy,” or you're tired of comparing your Tuesday to someone else's highlight reel.

This week's episode opens with our hosts in recovery mode from another whirlwind of watch events in New York City. Between too many cocktails, too few hours of sleep, and an overload of new releases, they manage to squeeze in some insight into what makes this strange little world of watch collecting tick.Our recent watch-enthusiast survey gets dissected, revealing that the average collector spends less than you'd think, most of them also play guitar, and nearly everyone pretends to understand constant-force mechanisms. Cue a lively debate about integrated bracelets (“Free the bracelet!”) and why the supposedly sacred “three-watch collection” rule might be the dumbest idea the hobby ever produced.Omega's latest Speedmaster drops into the conversation like a well-timed meme — inspiring both awe and eye-rolls. The crew then takes a detour into rebranding gone wrong, using the fictional “Brahmot” as a case study in how to confuse your fanbase while trying to sound modern. Spoiler: Clear communication still matters more than Helvetica font choices.The discussion gets philosophical — and slightly unhinged — about consumer education, certification programs, and Seiko's website, which earns the definitive verdict: “Seiko doesn't run good websites.” Somewhere between talk of health insurance, music, and cultural references, the group concludes that the watch industry runs best on caffeine, optimism, and a bit of chaos.It's a fast, funny, and brutally honest ride through the watch industry's weird ecosystem — equal parts therapy session and roast. Whether you're rocking a Speedmaster or a Seiko 5, remember — collecting watches is supposed to be fun. Don't let your bracelet hold you back.

Send us a text#353 - Every runner at some moment gets bored with our training. Maybe we're running the same routes, maybe we feel like nothing is ever changing, maybe we just feel "blah" when we head out for a run. I did an earlier episode how to make running more exciting if we get the Blahs, but this week, I'm focusing on one small part of that previous episode by giving you suggestions how to turn your training runs into "fun runs".

In this episode we invite the highly entertaining Lisa Verrico to join us from her native Glasgow and talk us through her career from IPC's Vox magazine to The Times. Commencing with her memory of first hearing Prince's 'Little Red Corvette' as a kid on holiday in Spain, our guest recalls her days of raving (and working in radio) before describing how she got her foot in the door at Vox. Hair-raising Mancunian encounters with Happy Mondays and Mark E. Smith serve as preludes to Lisa's hilarious 1994 interview with Oasis. We hear her "bootleg recording" of the Gallagher brothers' competing impersonations of Mick Jagger on the band's impromptu rendition of 'You Can't Always Get What You Want'. A broad discussion of what the '90s meant for pop culture takes in Lisa's memories of Oasis hanger-on Evan Dando and of the altogether different My Bloody Valentine. Clips from a 1989 audio interview with the latter's Kevin Shields and bandmates prompt reflections on MBV's extraordinary sound and their somewhat dysfunctional relationship with Creation's Alan McGee. We return to Lisa's own story by asking her what happened after Vox folded in 1998 — and how she wound up  reviewing (and interviewing) for The Times for 25 years. We also discuss how much the live music experience has changed in that time. Finally, we hear about our guest's 2019 trip to L.A. to interview 17-year-old superstar-in-the-making Billie Eilish. After paying heartfelt tribute to cult neo-soul star D'Angelo — note that news of the death of former KISS guitarist Ace Frehley only reached us after this episode was recorded — Mark quotes from a 1984 interview with jazz giant Wynton Marsalis and Jasper takes us out with his thoughts on Joe Muggs' 2011 interview with the great James Blake. Many thanks to special guest Lisa Verrico. You can find her writing in The Times.  Pieces discussed: Oasis: Shake'n'vac, Evan Dando: Baby I'm Bored, Evan Dando: "I get the feeling I'm being bullshitted", Evan Dando: The Smoker You Drink, The Player You Get, Evan Dando: Different Drum, My Bloody Valentine audio, Billie Eilish, D'Angelo: Soul Asylum, On D'Angelo and the Birth of Neo-Soul, D'Angelo: Black Messiah, Wynton Marsalis: The Hottest Lips in America and James Blake: Point Blake.

Goldfinger frontman and producer John Feldmann returns for his third appearance to talk about the making of blink-182's 2016 single “Bored to Death.” Feldmann was brought in to produce the California album at a pivotal moment, as the band adjusted to life without Tom DeLonge and welcomed Matt Skiba. With “Bored to Death” serving as both the first single and the public's introduction to Skiba, the pressure was high, but Feldmann helped deliver a track that quickly became a fan favorite. This episode takes a deep dive into how the song came together and why it still resonates today.

In this episode, Dave and Jamison answer these questions: Hi Dave and Jamison, After fleeing a sinking ship of a startup, I became a solo developer at a medium sized college. This role has really allowed me to expand and grow in ways that I haven't imagined, but I have encountered an interesting issue I didn't have in the startup world: there isn't much to do. At my one year mark, I was promoted into a management position, but with no direct report. I will soon have an employee under me doing data integrations. My manager has been reluctant to give me data integrations work despite knowing that I want to understand what my employee will be working with. I've found some of my own projects, but I've completed them all. I'm getting bored. I'm a competent developer, learn fast, and get things done quickly. Recently I've been planning an upgrade to some of our legacy code, but it will take probably a year or more to complete. Some former colleagues reached out about working with them for a substantial pay bump, but I don't like the idea of leaving after just over a year and a half. Do I keep riding it out here, or is it time to start looking else where? Thank you both for this wonderful podcast. Its a joy to listen to on my walks. I'm sure I get stared at when I try to hide a laugh or grin from the amazing list of Patron names and your commentary. I was recently terminated a few months before my 1 year vesting cliff as an IC2 for being days (not weeks) late on 3 or 4 stories. The late ones were defined incorrectly by management, or were for paying technical debt created by senior engineers, and my manager knew this. I had no IC2 or IC1 peers on my team for comparison. My performance review for the first half of 2025 was not released to me, I was fired when I would have seen it. This means the only reasoning that management has shared with me was my late work. In 1 on 1s before, my lateness has been something my manager has mentioned, but never a warning of termination (or a “pip” as some call it) and no indication that it's anything more than an area to improve. The org has made poor decisions that left them tight on funds, and I feel the most financially responsible thing for them to do was fire me rather than give me a warning which would let me hit my cliff or lay me off where they'd give more on my way out. Had I been pipped or laid off, I would not be asking about this. Should I go with the confusing justification that my boss was truthful in his attribution of my firing without warning to my lateness (and can you help me understand why that's professionally justified)? Should I go with the disheartening approach and brainstorm other shortcomings that would better justify an unwarned firing, possibly spurring professional growth or a career change? Or should I say I got instafired because of penny pinching and opaque management?

In this episode of Fraud Talk, we explore an often-overlooked risk factor inside organizations: boredom. Guest Garth Sheriff, CFE, CPA, educator and former actor, joins ACFE Content Manager Rihonna Scoggins to examine how disengagement in ethics training and workplace culture can quietly open the door to fraud. Sheriff draws on his unique background in accounting, acting and continuing education to show why storytelling and lived experience matter more than checklists when it comes to ethics.
