这是一期最个人、最真诚的分享。从新西兰突然飞回中国，因为父亲突发疾病。原本只是一场紧急的回家之旅，却成为我与父亲多年隔阂得以化解的转折点。在医院、家里两点一线，面对父亲年老、脆弱的一面，我也被迫直面自己多年回避的情感和家庭问题。这一集，我会讲到照顾父亲的焦虑、和老人观念冲突、家庭琐事中的无力感，也会聊到中国家庭里关于“孝顺”、自尊、孤独与和解的细节。如果你也正在经历亲情的拉扯，或者正为父母的健康、老去而焦虑，希望我的故事能带来一些陪伴、启发或勇气。听到最后，你也许能找到和自己、和父母“和解”的一种方式。Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/beartalk/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This week, I'm sharing my experience of taking on the Ice Bucket Challenge. You might remember this trend from 2014, which remarkably raised millions for ALS, known here in the UK as motor neuron disease. Now, in 2025, students at the University of South Carolina have revived it as the #SpeakYourMIND Ice Bucket Challenge, with a vital new focus: to normalise conversations around mental health and raise crucial funds.  Inspired by this, and since braving the icy water myself, I wanted to use this platform to further amplify their important message.  This initiative resonates deeply with me because mental health is something that touches every single one of us. To think otherwise is like suggesting someone doesn't have physical health – we all do, and our mental well-being, with its own complexities, deserves equal awareness and proactive attention. While acknowledging the significant challenges of mental illness, just like physical health exists on a spectrum, fostering a greater understanding and open dialogue around our mental health can, I hope, lead to improved overall happiness and resilience. It's about recognizing that good mental health equips us all to better navigate life's inevitable ups and downs.Warning: I touch on the subject of death by suicide in this episode. Please reach out to a professional if this or any other element of the episode has triggered something that needs some external support. It's way too important not to. A few links that could be of use:www.samaritans.orgwww.mind.orgzerosuicidealliance.com/suicide-awareness-training Usual address for any thoughts, comments or observations damian@effectivechallenge.com.  Please let me know if you decide to take on the Ice Bucket Challenge 2025 yourself.

In the late 1950s, the NHL was a sport played entirely by white athletes. But on January 18, 1958, Willie O'Ree became the first Black player to skate in an NHL game. It takes a special kind of person to be the first—someone with courage, determination, and a belief that no barrier is too high to break. O'Ree's debut wasn't just about making history—it was about opening doors for future generations. In this episode we'll dive into his story and the legacy he left on his sport.     #WillieORee #BreakingBarriers #HockeyHistory #InclusionInSports #Trailblazer

It's a sizzling sit-down breaking the ice with *smoking hot*, former pro ice hockey player and LGBTQ+ trailblazer, Brock McGillis.Visiting from Canada (Toronto, to be exact), Brock brings the heat with stories of his hockey days, love life, and the journey from locker room secrets to global LGBTQ+ advocate. From flirtatious banter about big sticks and gym routines to heartfelt conversations about self-acceptance and coming out, it's a rollercoaster of laughs, love, and life lessons. Brock reveals how he juggled his hockey identity while hiding his sexuality, the challenges of homophobia in sports, and how a powerful moment following the Pulse nightclub tragedy led him to publicly come out in 2016 — making history as the *first professional male hockey player in North America to do so*. But it's not all heavy! We share hilarious gym confessions, Grindr misadventures, fashion week love stories (spoiler: trench coats and the Waldorf Towers are involved), and even a mystical *coffee reading* predicting exciting changes for Brock — from wedding plans to the potential of fatherhood. And of course, Little Snow White 90210 steals hearts (and cuddles) once again. We discuss Brock's steamy intro and love for hot men (including Prime Minister Trudeau, Hugh Jackman, and Kevin Costner!) Gym culture: mirror gazing, hot guy chasing, and the occasional G-string on the treadmill. Yes! That's a thing! We discuss our love story — complete with a fashion studio, naked models, and a bold kiss. Brock reveals his journey from hockey locker rooms to becoming a public figure and change-maker and we peek into Brock's romantic life, engagement, and talk of weddings, babies, and big moves. He brings up his emotional reflection on the mental toll of hiding one's identity and the power of representation, We get Fun, fierce, and fabulously candid — from hockey to haute couture and everything in between This is another Hurrdat Media and American Media Television Production.

In 2018 GBH's Antiques Roadshow visited one of the coolest locations the show has filmed at to-date, the Hotel del Coronado, right on the beach in southern CA. So it was surprising when a guest brought a well-used kitchen table to be appraised and even more surprising when it was revealed to be from the 1959 American National Exhibition's “kitchen of the future” displayed in Moscow over which an icy debate took place between then Vice President Richard Nixon and Premier of the Soviet Union Nikita Krushchev. Join host Adam Monahan as he traces the history of this Cold War debate and how one viewers' letter corrected crucial information about the table that witnessed history in the making!

In today's episode, we cover breaking the ice with AJ, Johnny, and Coach Michael.    Taking the first step is often the hardest, so when it comes to breaking the ice what is the most effective way to strike up a conversation, what mindset can you cultivate that will make conversations flow effortlessly, and what can you do to become unforgettable in the eyes of people you meet?  What to Listen For Introduction – 0:00 How do you start conversations with strangers without coming off as awkward? The Conversation Formula – 7:50 What are some examples of simple questions to ask in social, romantic, or professional environments to start a conversation?  Why is it important to focus on "we" moments in conversations rather than just talking about yourself? What questions should you avoid in conversation? What Should You Say Next – 21:24  Why should you avoid asking questions over and over again, and what should you say after someone answers your question? If curiosity is the key to great conversations, how do you cultivate your own curiosity so conversations don't feel awkward and forced? What topics should you avoid when talking to someone new? Become Unforgettable – 27:57 How do you create a positive, memorable impression so people never forget you and look forward to spending time with you? What exercise can you use in a conversation to create a stronger bond with anyone? With all of these tips in mind, it's important to remember that building meaningful relationships still takes time and effort. It's not a one-time event; rather, it's an ongoing process that grows with each new connection. Working on developing meaningful relationships may bring success in the professional or personal goals desired. Nevertheless, it also requires a commitment to get out of your comfort zone, acknowledge different points of view, listen more than you talk, and ask thoughtful questions about the person and what they stand for. Ultimately, when we put care into connecting to others on a more focused level and look beyond our surface interests or intentions, we can create stronger connections that have a lasting impact on our lives.
