He also welcomed SZA, Sexyy Red, and Dijon, turning the set into a star-packed spectacle.

On February 14, 2007, elite paraglider Ewa Wiśnierska launched from an Australian mountain for a routine training flight. Within minutes, she was sucked into a massive cumulonimbus cloud and carried to altitudes where commercial jets cruise — with no oxygen, no pressurization, and temperatures colder than anywhere on Earth. Her GPS recorded everything that happened next, including 40 minutes she doesn't remember. Another pilot caught in the same storm wasn't as fortunate. This is the story of an accidental world record that no one would ever attempt on purpose. 00:06 Wilderness Aid Promo 01:08 Podcast Intro 01:31 Everest Storm Hook 03:33 Meet Eva The Champion 04:49 Race Day Warnings 06:07 Launch And Early Flight 06:43 What Is Paragliding 07:45 Storms On The Horizon 08:56 Sucked Into The Cloud 11:51 Hail And Hypothermia 13:59 Death Zone Explained 16:42 Record Altitude On GPS 18:07 Wing Collapse Begins 18:26 Wing Reopens Midair 19:24 Frozen Controls Decision 20:28 Spiraling Down to Land 21:36 Rescue Text and Aftermath 22:39 Another Pilot Lost 25:04 Hospital Miracle Recovery 26:51 Back Flying and Career 29:16 Data and World Record 31:16 Luck Lessons and Farewell Listen AD FREE: Support our podcast at patreaon: http://patreon.com/TheCruxTrueSurvivalPodcast Email us! thecruxsurvival@gmail.com Instagram https://www.instagram.com/thecruxpodcast/ Get schooled by Julie in outdoor wilderness medicine! https://www.headwatersfieldmedicine.com/   REFERENCES Wikipedia: Ewa Wiśnierska ABC News: "Paraglider Pulled Six Miles High by Storm — and Lives to Tell About It" (February 16, 2007) CBS News: "Paraglider Cheats Death In Thunderstorm" (February 16, 2007) The Sydney Morning Herald: "Ewa Sucked Into Storm and Lives to Tell" (February 17, 2007) People Magazine: Ewa Wiśnierska interview (September 2024) Cloud Appreciation Society: "Paraglider's Ears Nearly Fall off in a Cumulonimbus Cloud" (April 2007) The Age (Australia): "Storm Rider's Miracle Survival" (February 2007) Bored Panda: "'I Had No Idea Where I Was': Paraglider Explains How She Survived 10,000 Meters Above The Earth" (September 2024) Cultura Colectiva: "The Woman Who Survived Being Sucked Up 32,000 Feet High In A Storm" History and Other Things: "The Woman Who Survived The Storm" (October 2018) Noiser Podcasts / Real Survival Stories: "Ewa Wiśnierska: How to Survive in the Stratosphere" Freedom Parapente: "Maximum Altitude Record in Paragliding — Ewa Wisnierska" Dvorak News Blog: "Paraglider Survives Storm That Sucked Her Up to 32,000 Feet" (February 17, 2007) Documentary: Miracle in the Storm (ABC1 / France 5, 2010) Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

# JoJo Siwa Biography Flash – Recent DevelopmentsJoJo Siwa has been making headlines this week with major romantic and musical announcements that are shaping her current chapter. The 22-year-old performer appeared at the Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special premiere on Monday, March 23rd, where she opened up about her relationship with Chris Hughes and revealed exciting new music on the horizon.Speaking with People at the premiere, Siwa shared that her upcoming single "Serendipity," dropping April 7th, is directly inspired by her boyfriend and their love story. According to her comments, the pair's connection feels like serendipity, which she described as her favorite word. She explained that when she and Hughes met while filming Celebrity Big Brother UK back in April 2025, they initially became friends, but their relationship developed after the show ended. By June 2025, Siwa confirmed they were officially dating, and their bond has continued to strengthen. Now, at the premiere, she reflected on what keeps their relationship strong, saying that when something is meant to be, it simply feels right.The 33-year-old Love Island alum has become a significant source of inspiration for Siwa's creative work. During the premiere appearance, she affectionately referred to Hughes as her "very sweet love Christopher," highlighting how central he's become to her personal and professional life. The couple made their red carpet debut together in October 2025 at the Dancers Against Cancer Gala of the Stars, where Siwa received the Humanitarian Award.Her appearance at the Hannah Montana event also sparked considerable social media discussion. According to reports from Bored Panda, fans and critics on social media reacted strongly to her outfit choice of a sparkly purple t-shirt with the number 23, a black short skirt, and white and orange sneakers. This sparked renewed conversation about her evolving image, particularly following her recent "Bette Davis Eyes" cover last summer, which had generated "trad wife" allegations that she later dismissed as simply a Halloween costume in an October 2025 CNN Entertainment interview.The multi-hyphenate entertainer continues to balance her acting, dancing, and music career while navigating public scrutiny of her personal evolution. With "Serendipity" set to release in just over a week, fans are eager to hear how Hughes has influenced her musical direction.Thanks for listening to this JoJo Siwa Biography Flash update.

JoJo Siwa Biography Flash a weekly Biography.This is Biography Flash and I am your host, Roxie Rush, your favorite AI gossip queen, which is honestly perfect, because I do not sleep, I do not scroll tired, and I never miss a receipt. Lets hit play on JoJo Siwas week in the spotlight.The biggest move right now is identity, not choreography. According to The Independent, JoJo quietly kicked off the new year by changing her TikTok display name from the hyper-branded JoJo Siwa to her birth name, **Joelle Siwa**, a subtle but serious rebrand that fans first clocked on New Years Eve. The outlet notes she teased a huge 2026 in that final TikTok of 2025 by lip syncing to Boomerang and captioning it What a year it is ahead, basically promising a comeback era under a more adult name.OutInPerth also reports that the name shift to Joelle Siwa is part of a broader evolution, reminding readers that she came up on Dance Moms, became a Nickelodeon juggernaut, and later declared herself part of the LGBTQIA plus community, identifying as a lesbian and nonbinary before more recently saying shes leaning into the Q and rejecting strict labels. That context makes this name change feel less like a random tweak and more like a long term identity chapter in the JoJo, now Joelle, timeline.Bored Panda adds the glam and drama, describing how this name change followed a viral TikTok transformation video recapping her 2025 looks and life with boyfriend and former Love Island star Chris Hughes. Fans were split in the comments, some seeing it as the end of her bizarre adventure child star persona, others wondering if the shift and softer styling were tied to her relationship. Thats speculation from social media users, not confirmed by Joelle, but it is definitely shaping the public narrative.UNILAD echoes that fans were sent into a frenzy by the New Year name switch, framing it as the headline moment around Joelles growing up, new relationship, and fresh year of big plans.No major new scandals, arrests, or business bombshells have been reported in the last day, but in biographical terms, dropping JoJo for Joelle on her biggest platform is the long game. It suggests future music, branding, and appearances under a more mature, real name identity.Im Roxie Rush, this has been JoJo Siwa Biography Flash.

The biggest story right now is her relationship with Chris Hughes, which has prompted a wave of chatter after JoJo publicly clarified her sexuality following backlash from the LGBTQIA plus community. Speaking out on both the Smith Sisters Live show and the Reign with Josh Smith podcast JoJo said that being in a heterosexual relationship does not mean she is straight but that she remains proudly queer. According to DIVA Magazine and PinkNews this came after fans questioned her identity when she began dating Chris Hughes of Love Island fame following their highly publicized romance on Celebrity Big Brother UK. Although the backlash has been intense, JoJo made it clear she is happy and committed, saying the best thing that has happened to her is falling in love with Chris and emphasizing her history with women and non-binary partners remains part of her story.The engagement rumor mill has shifted into overdrive after Chris's father told the Daily Mail he would not be surprised if the two got married before Christmas and hinted at a “perfect” wedding location at St Marys Church near the Hughes family home in Gloucestershire. Fans further speculated about wedding plans when eagle eyed followers noted JoJo liked a bridal beauty treatment timeline post from wedding planner PoshVows on Instagram, adding more fuel to the fire as Bored Panda reported.On the music and performance front, JoJo Siwa continues moving at a breakneck pace. She is set for a major tour stop in Dublin at The Academy on September 29 according to JamBase and Concerts50, as part of her ongoing international concert rollout.

Amidst all of this, JoJo found time to address online bullying and the complexity of exploring identity in the public eye, saying that even though she developed thick skin, others in her position may be less resilient—sending a message about the need for empathy and acceptance. This cluster of stories cements JoJo Siwa as not only pop's perennial headline grabber but also a key voice in the ongoing conversation about identity, love, and self expression.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Jo Jo Siwa BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.JoJo Siwa has been everywhere lately, and the past few days have seen her at the epicenter of entertainment, fashion, and viral speculation. Most notably, fans and pundits alike were stunned by her style transformation at Kalani Hilliker's Italian wedding, where JoJo wore a dramatic gold minidress with a cape, swapping her trademark bows and quirky gear for a more mature, disco-inspired look. Social media erupted with praise for this “feminine era,” but critics and old fans debated whether it signaled a deeper change in her identity or public persona. According to coverage from Bored Panda and Parade, Siwa herself posted about her first solo trip to a new country and shared multiple Italy snaps, twirling in dresses and mingling with fellow Dance Moms alums. In one viral TikTok from Kendall Vertes, JoJo spun around in a lilac corset gown and joked about feeling “like Rapunzel,” referencing a recent viral audition tape her mom shared and quickly deleted.This flurry of European glamour led directly into business: JoJo is days away from launching her Infinity Heart tour across Europe, with confirmed shows in Dublin on September 29 and several dates following. Her tour announcement continues a summer packed with new music, including the single “Iced Coffee,” her first release since her EP Guilty Pleasure in July. AOL and JamBase confirm a 22-concert nationwide tour in July and August, with fans clamoring for tickets and major outlets highlighting her “pulling out all the stops” for this blockbuster run.On the personal front, JoJo has openly discussed her relationship with Chris Hughes, the British TV host whom she began dating shortly after their stint on Celebrity Big Brother UK. Speculation is now swirling about marriage, fueled by JoJo's confession on the Reign with Josh Smith podcast: “I want a ring, I want my Dad to walk me down the aisle… I've never cared about another person so much.” Eagle-eyed fans noticed she liked wedding planner posts, and some insiders suspect she and Chris might wed before Christmas in a Gloucestershire church near his home. While fans buzz over this new chapter, a vocal contingent online has critiqued JoJo's evolving style and sexuality, with JoJo herself responding candidly to bullying and identity jabs, according to OutFront Magazine.JoJo recently reflected on her Dance Moms era in a LADYGUNN cover story, crediting her mother's advice for handling haters and recalling how both positive and negative attention helped her build resilience and business acumen. She confirmed her ongoing friendships with some cast members and her cordial relationship with Abby Lee Miller, while addressing estrangement with the Ziegler sisters and maintaining there's “no bad blood” with anyone.Professionally, JoJo has made waves on business podcasts like The Room Where It Happened, sharing detailed lessons on personal branding, the risk of partnerships, and controlling her childhood-built empire. All signs point to JoJo Siwa embracing reinvention, balancing personal happiness, artistic growth, and unstoppable ambition. Major headlines this week?

Sean Combs, known to listeners around the world as Puffy, P Diddy, or simply Diddy, remains at the forefront of headlines as his long-standing legal battle reached a dramatic turning point. According to CBS News New York, Combs was found guilty last week of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, but was acquitted of the much more severe racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges. Prosecutors are now urging the judge to reject Combs' request to overturn the guilty verdict, and he has been denied bail pending his formal sentencing, scheduled for October 3. While some analysts suggest his prison time could stretch far beyond the four to five years previously speculated, federal sentencing guidelines leave open the possibility of up to 10 years for each count.The trial captivated the nation not only because of Combs' cultural status, but also for its intense focus on his relationships with former partners, such as Cassie Ventura. Ventura, who previously settled a high-profile civil suit with Combs for $20 million, is widely credited by her attorney in The Business Standard for “paving the way” for his conviction. The courtroom itself witnessed high emotion—Combs reportedly knelt in prayer and told supporters, “I'm gonna be home soon. I love you.”Amid his legal crisis, Combs made headlines for selling his majority stake in the media company Revolt, according to MVSU.edu, a move interpreted by many industry observers as a strategy to shield assets from ongoing civil lawsuits and financial scrutiny. This comes as his attorney, Marc Agnifilo, told CBS News that his focus now is on securing a fair sentence and that Combs is determined to return to music and business as soon as possible.In a sign that Combs remains defiant, he broke his silence from jail via his first Instagram post since his arrest, with his spokesperson assuring outlets like Bored Panda that the music mogul remains “strong, healthy, and focused on his defense.” His legal team has also accused federal authorities of leaking video evidence to the press, a move they argue jeopardizes his chance at a fair trial.As listeners await next steps, Combs—who helped shape hip hop's modern era and founded Bad Boy Records—now faces the greatest test of his legacy. All eyes will be on the October sentencing and the outcome of his appeals and ongoing civil suits.Thank you for tuning in, and be sure to come back next week for more.

Worst First Dates in History 3-Hour Compilation30 Of The Worst Dates Ever, As Per Servers Who Witnessed ThemWhen you go on a date at a fancy restaurant, cozy cafe, or, heck, even your local fast food joint, you can easily forget that there's always someone around in the background—your server. Now, odds are that most people working in the food service industry don't eavesdrop on purpose. However, when a date goes frightfully wrong, they can't help but notice what's going on at one of their tables.We're featuring some of the stories about the most awkward and weird date fails, as witnessed by servers and shared on these two r/AskReddit threads here and here. Scroll down for some of the most cringe, dramatic, and weird romantic encounters that waiters couldn't look away from even if they wanted to.However, one note of friendly advice for you, Pandas: the stories here might give you some a case of some serious secondhand embarrassment.Bored Panda was interested to learn more about dating, whether restaurant dates are a good idea, and what to do if you see that you're not clicking with someone, so we reached out to certified relationship and self-love coach Alex Scot. Scroll down for our full interview with her, Pandas.Relationship coach Alex opened up to Bored Panda that she personally isn't a fan of “the stereotypical coffee or restaurant date” because many people feel a lot of pressure “to keep the conversation going with fewer things around to remark about.” In short, going to a cafe or restaurant might not be ideal for a first date.“If you're the extroverted type, these kinds of dates are easier for you to show up and be you, but for introverts or anyone who has social anxiety, this can be a triggering environment. I personally feel it's a smarter move to go on some kind of activity date,” she said.True Cheating Stories 2022 Best of Reddit NSFW Cheating Stories 2022Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-cheating-wives-and-girlfriends-stories-2025-true-cheating-stories-podcast--5689182/support.

This week on Off Topic, we're diving headfirst into the chaos of the internet and culture. Did you know AOL is still a thing in 2025? We didn't either—until a Bored Panda article reminded us.We also unpack why niche podcasts might be in their golden age, how neutral design is officially being labeled “sad beige energy,” and why Instagram is starting to feel like LinkedIn's quirky cousin. Plus, a possibly fake Facebook article makes its rounds, and Eric shares his Top 5 most underrated country artists of the moment, along with a fresh look at this week in Country Music Weekly.

In this powerful episode of Reading with Your Kids, listeners get a two-part exploration of impactful storytelling for young adults. First, author Mike Bender and illustrator Chuck Dillon dive into "Bored Panda," a delightful children's book celebrating the magic of boredom. They argue that unstructured time isn't something to fear, but an opportunity for creativity. Drawing from childhood memories of limited entertainment, they show how imagination flourishes when kids aren't constantly stimulated by devices. The second half of the episode takes a more serious turn with Stacy Padula and David Gunning discussing the "Gripped" series. This young adult narrative tackles critical issues of teen addiction, focusing on Taylor Duncan, a promising football player whose painkiller addiction derails his life. Inspired by personal experiences with the opioid crisis, Pedula and Gunning are adapting the book series into a television show to raise awareness about substance abuse and mental health among teenagers. Pedula, who began writing the series as a teenager herself, wanted to create realistic stories that address peer pressure, substance abuse, and identity challenges that traditional young adult books often overlook. David Gunning, who lost an uncle to opioid addiction, is passionate about bringing this important story to the screen. Both segments highlight the power of storytelling - whether through humor and creativity or through addressing serious societal issues. The episode demonstrates how books can entertain, educate, and inspire young readers by speaking directly to their experiences. From the playful world of "Bored Panda" to the intense narrative of "Gripped," this episode offers something for every parent and young reader looking for meaningful, engaging content.

Have you ever had a student declare, “I'm bored!”—and then look to you to fix it? In this fun and thought-provoking episode, I'm joined by returning guest Mike Bender, author of The End Is Just the Beginning, The Most Serious Fart, and The Bravest Booger, along with Chuck Dillon, the brilliant illustrator behind Mike's newest picture book Bored Panda. Together, we dive into why boredom might be exactly what our students—and we—need.We explore the inspiration behind Bored Panda and talk about how boredom can be a gateway to creativity, imagination, and unexpected adventures. Mike and Chuck also give us a behind-the-scenes look at their author-illustrator collaboration, share hilarious stories from the making of the book, and reflect on the role of screen time, mindfulness, and finding joy in slowing down.Whether you're looking for a meaningful read-aloud to spark classroom discussions or simply want a reminder that it's okay to let your mind wander, this episode will leave you inspired.

I'll tell you the jokes and then explain them all (dissecting the frog), including any homophones, double meanings or specific cultural references. Can you "get" the jokes?

Includes a vocabulary review at the end of the episode.Episode page with notes, jokes and vocabulary list

I'm not gonna lie…I'm addicted to listicles…not the click-baity ones that have sub-headlines like “and you won't believe #6!”…I'm only interested in the ones that offer interesting or weird facts…usually that means Buzzfeed, Bored Panda, Upworthy, Laughing Squid—you know the kind…“today I learned” and “I was today years old when I discovered”…that sort of thing… Here's one…there is a species of moth that lives in the amazon jungle that drinks the tears of sleeping birds…it'll sit on a bird's neck, stick a long proboscis under the bird's eyelid, and slurp away the tears…I know! Right?... Here's another: until the 1800s, polite people didn't eat bananas because their shape made them an “immoral fruit”…importers had to hire women for ads showing them eating bananas to prove that there was nothing wrong with them… Okay, okay…one more…and I'm sorry if this is going to trigger you…if you take public transit, approximately 15% of the air you breath contains human skin…all those floating specs you see in the sunlight?...skin…gross, but I love this stuff… A big part of my job is searching for facts, although most of what I'm looking for involves music…I've heard that if you play hip-hop to a wheel of cheese as it's maturing, the cheese will have a stronger flavor and aroma…as late as 1948, you could win an Olympic medal for music…and if you want to play music for you dog, choose Reggae…scientists have proven that that's the music they like the most… Over the course of the year of researching and writing this program, I run across all kinds of weird facts…most I can incorporate into various shows…others, not so much… But these orphaned facts need a home…so once every 12 months, I devote a program to clearing out all this information from post-it notes, highlighted passages in books, pages torn from newspapers and magazines, and various files on my computer and throw them all into one program…what you do with this stuff is up to you…this is the annual show I call “60 mind-blowing facts about music in 60 minutes”… Learn more about your ad choices.

Hey smarties! We're on a break for the holidays and revisiting some of our top episodes from 2023. We can't do this show without you and we still need your support. If you can, donate today to keep independent journalism going strong into 2024 and beyond. Give now to support Make Me Smart. Thank you so much for your generosity, happy holidays and we'll see you in the new year. It's time to air out some of fast fashion's dirty laundry. Recently, fast-fashion retailer Shein was in the headlines over a paid influencer trip to one of its factories in China. It's also facing allegations that range from labor rights abuses to high levels of carbon emissions. Sustainable-fashion writer Alden Wicker's new book, “To Dye For: How Toxic Fashion Is Making Us Sick” documents another gritty side of the industry: the toxic chemicals used to make the clothing many companies sell. As it turns out, there aren't many laws in the U.S. to prevent those chemicals from ending up in our clothes. “It’s a pretty untenable situation that we’re putting this all on consumers who largely do not have a degree in chemistry to protect themselves from what we know are hazardous chemicals,” Wicker said. On the show today, Wicker explains why harmful chemicals are in our clothing, how flight attendants became a breakthrough case for toxic clothing and how more regulation could help ensure safer practices in the fashion industry. Plus, what consumers can do to reduce their exposure. Then, more on harmful chemicals: A recent study found a type of “forever chemical” is uncomfortably common in the U.S. water supply. And, the pending merger between Microsoft and Activision Blizzard got a big push forward from a federal judge this week. We'll get into why the decision is a major blow to the Federal Trade Commission. Later, a listener shares an adorable cartoon that has Kimberly Adams written all over it. Plus, this week’s answer to the Make Me Smart question is a lesson on the power of language. Here’s everything we talked about today: “Shein, the fast-fashion giant, hits roadblocks” from The Washington Post “Are your clothes making you sick? The opaque world of chemicals in fashion” from The Guardian “The incredible story of how hatmakers really did ‘go mad’ 300 years ago” from Business Insider “Influencers are under fire for praising working conditions in Shein’s clothing factory despite abuse allegations” from NBC News “Toxic Chemicals in Shein and Other Fast Fashion Clothing” from Insider “What Is Prop 65? And Why Is There a Warning Label on This Thing I Bought?” from The New York Times “How to remove PFAS — aka forever chemicals — from drinking water” from Vox “Tap water study detects PFAS ‘forever chemicals' across the US” from U.S. Geological Survey “Microsoft Can Close Its $75 Billion Buy of Activision Blizzard, Judge Rules” from The Wall Street Journal ‘“USA Geography” Features Humorous Illustrations Of Each State” from Bored Panda “The Slowdown” podcast from APM We want to hear your answer to the Make Me Smart question.

Worst First Dates in History (3-Hour Compilation) 30 Of The Worst Dates Ever, As Per Servers Who Witnessed Them When you go on a date at a fancy restaurant, cozy cafe, or, heck, even your local fast food joint, you can easily forget that there's always someone around in the background—your server. Now, odds are that most people working in the food service industry don't eavesdrop on purpose. However, when a date goes frightfully wrong, they can't help but notice what's going on at one of their tables. We're featuring some of the stories about the most awkward and weird date fails, as witnessed by servers and shared on these two r/AskReddit threads here and here. Scroll down for some of the most cringe, dramatic, and weird romantic encounters that waiters couldn't look away from even if they wanted to. However, one note of friendly advice for you, Pandas: the stories here might give you some a case of some serious secondhand embarrassment. Bored Panda was interested to learn more about dating, whether restaurant dates are a good idea, and what to do if you see that you're not clicking with someone, so we reached out to certified relationship and self-love coach Alex Scot. Scroll down for our full interview with her, Pandas. Relationship coach Alex opened up to Bored Panda that she personally isn't a fan of “the stereotypical coffee or restaurant date” because many people feel a lot of pressure “to keep the conversation going with fewer things around to remark about.” In short, going to a cafe or restaurant might not be ideal for a first date. “If you're the extroverted type, these kinds of dates are easier for you to show up and be you, but for introverts or anyone who has social anxiety, this can be a triggering environment. I personally feel it's a smarter move to go on some kind of activity date,” she said.

It's been several years since I first saw the 'Honest Preacher' video by YouTube channel 'Friend Dog Studios' in which a pastor wearing vestments gets up to deliver his sermon on a Sunday morning, but instead breaks down in frustration with his congregation's constant tendency toward sin and folly. He took a vow not to say who's the worst, he tells them, "but it's Dan!" Shortly after seeing this video, we all in my household learned the hard way the importance of making your references clear before casually quoting them. My fourth son Daniel bursting into tears made that abundantly and memorably clear. Of course, I soon calmed him by explanations of the reference, plus assurances he was not the 'Dan' spoken of therein. Then we all watched the video. And though his eyes were still teary, he was smiling and laughing instead of crying by the end of it. But imagine a scenario in which instead of admitting my error I had carted my son off to a therapist and even a psychiatrist. What sort of awful parent would I have been had I thought first to medicate him instead of helping him to understand my mistake and apologizing for it? Along similar lines, Michael Knowles made me aware of an important medical study on his show this morning, concluding that years of heavy prescription rates of anti-depressants has no science to support the claim that these drugs are needed to regulate a chemical imbalance in our brains. There is then nothing whatsoever backing the belief many have that they need a little help from pharmaceutical companies to manage their serotonin levels. Instead, the symptoms of other goings-on have been covered up and covered over, more or less missing the root cause in the meantime. Therefore, it turns out Tom Cruise was nearly cancelled for nothing - or least the wrong thing. In a series of public interviews he did back in 2005, like this one with Matt Lauer on the TODAY show, Cruise urged people to look harder at the pseudoscience being used to support prescription of drugs for anxiety, depression, and attention deficit disorders. At the time, he was called insensitive, judgmental, and uninformed. It would seem he was right all along, though - at least about this. All of this I engaged with this morning while a Bored Panda link my wife Lauren sent me yesterday was still fresh on my mind. Therein, someone had asked teachers and professors on Reddit what differences they've observed between schoolchildren from 1999, 2009, and 2019. The thirty answers highlighted show several repeating themes. Importantly, our kids are anxious, depressed, and unable to focus - even to the point of self-harm and suicide - at levels long-time teachers can't help but remark on. Mothers and fathers meanwhile have moved on from helicopter approaches to their sons and daughters, and now are described as "lawnmower parenting." They race to remove any and all obstacles and challenges from their children's path to the point that children no longer develop any resilience, but live in constant fear of making a mistake and amounting to nothing. But, hey - at least they're not as openly homophobic as they used to be. To my mind, the overdiagnosis of ADD and ADHD is of a piece with the overuse of prescription psychopharmaceuticals and screen-time in lieu of reading to and talking with our children. At the same time, and as a result, it's no wonder our children are increasingly obese and decreasingly able to regulate their emotional state or overcome even minor setbacks and annoyances. The hearts of fathers need to be turned back to these children. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/garrett-ashley-mullet/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/garrett-ashley-mullet/support

Welcome back to the Beneath the Surface podcast. In this episode, Corey and Sean wax lyrical about fatherhood. Both are fathers of three (though Corey is a father to four if you count BOTE). Both are also businessmen and dedicated men of their craft. In this episode, they talk about that balance. They relive some of their best moments as working fathers, including some of the more infamous times they brought their kids to work. As always, there are some heartfelt moments and some hilariously absurd ones (like the time Sean's baby appeared on the cover of a Tenacious D album which ended up being banned from Wal-Mart). If you're a dad or a son or a daughter or even just a lover of #dadjokes, you'll find something to appreciate in this episode. So sit back and enjoy.Links from the Episode Find some photo inspo at SeanMurphyPhoto.com. Blast back to the past with this Tenacious D music video.Enjoy these 99 dad jokes from Bored Panda. Who's in the EpisodeLead Designer, Co-Founder, and CEO at BOTE, Corey Cooper is a licensed engineer hailing from Auburn University. Corey is the pioneer of the DarkRoom, assisting with the design of the machinery, concepting the layout and ultimately developing the workflow used in DarkRoom production. Corey's passion for this project is so strong that on any given day, regardless of how busy things are at BOTE, you will often find Corey working in the DarkRoom.Sean Murphy is the Director of Photography at BOTE and a world-renowned photographer based in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. After spending most of his career based in Los Angeles, shooting for brands like Adidas, Red Bull, and Toyota, just to name a few, Sean moved back to the Redneck Riviera. You can find Sean capturing gritty America and spontaneous moments that translate into visually stunning photography.  Sound Bites"We are lucky that our careers allow us to involve family because that's what BOTE is, a family. Recently we've been doing a lot more family focused content. As we get older, the value of family and being dads becomes more and more apparent, more and more valuable. The solo and aspirational stuff is cool, but at the end of the day, everyone can relate to family." – Corey Cooper, CEO and Co-Founder at BOTE “We had no option. We started the business about a year after he was born. I've always joked that BOTE was another one of my babies because they were at the same time. But you're kind of raising them together, the business and the kid. I didn't have an option.” – Corey Cooper, CEO and Co-Founder at BOTE
