We're off this week, but not to worry: We have plenty of leftovers to reheat for you. This episode is from November 25, 2016. Enjoy!On this week's group chat, we talk about special-occasion pressure, discuss the start of the holiday shopping season on our Friday speed round, shout out some stuff we like on the Roundabout Roundup, take a quiz about table manners, and do some shameless self-promotion. Here's your road map to the episode:Holiday Downsizing — Extended family all loving and rosy-cheeked around a food-stacked table is a heartwarming image, but the fact of it sometimes gives us heartburn. We talk about the pressure — external and internal — to have a portrait-worthy holiday and our attempts to bring expectations down to snapshot size.Speed Round: Do You Shop on Black Friday? — Some folks can't wait to hit the stores for bargains, some would rather jump off a cliff than go fight strangers for sales items, and some find the whole idea of making Thanksgiving weekend all about commerce offensive. Turns out, we're not quite any of those.Parenting Roundabout Roundup — Terri enjoys just looking at the homepage loop for the time-tracking site toggl (click on the little speaker in the corner for the perfect accompanying music); Catherine enjoyed a roundup of Fitness Marshall dance videos on Buzzfeed; and Nicole appreciated an article about coaches.A Well-Mannered Quiz — In place of our usual interview segment, Catherine came up with a quiz about etiquette rules for children that may have you using your napkin in a whole new way.Shameless Self-Promotion — Terri shared a special-needs version of the "Would You Rather" meme; Catherine offered some help on dealing with sports parent burnout; and Nicole will have an article up on the Friendship Circle blog any time now.Thanks to Jon Morin for our fun in-and-out music.
After the trains of thought finally find their tracks, Chris, Rob and John discuss John's recent college football experience, Rob and John audition (sort of) for Pop Culture Jeopardy! and they consider some Thanksgiving themed cocktails you might enjoy as well. Finally, they find out how much they do or do not know about their own bodies courtesy of a Buzzfeed quiz by Alpaca.......yes, Alpaca. Enjoy!
News; birthdays/events; would you rather watch a parade or watch/play football or do a 5K run on Thanksgiving?; word of the day. News; how do you feel about communal dining?; game: guess that tune from the lyrics; Buzzfeed list of tacky decor.

News; is there a difference between fresh and frozen turkey?; game: movies trivia; goodbye/fun facts....National Gingerbread Cookie Day---they instantly make us feel warm and cozy, they have a rich flavor profile and they come in all shapes and sizes, but gingerbread man cookies are the most popular ones. Gingerbread has been around for centuries. The Ancient Greeks and Egyptians often used gingerbread for ceremonial purposes.---but in the 16th century gingerbread figural biscuits made their first appearance. Queen Elizabeth I of England asked her staff to make gingerbread figures that looked like the foreign dignitaries and the other guests of honor and later presented them in the likeness of some of her very important guests. According to Swedish folk tradition, gingerbread man cookies hold magical powers for making wishes and gingerbread cookies freeze well and can stay frozen for up to six months...so if you want to get your holiday baking out of the way this weekend...you can!

After Chris, Rob and John sell shoutouts for money, they discover that Chris needs sleep, but Rob is apparently an expert. Also, Rob schedules something for his butt and Desecrator is available on the secondary market. Those two are not related (or are they?). Finally, they round out the episode by building up their confidence with an elementary school level quiz (Buzzfeed) only to shatter it with Buffalo sports trivia (hardcopy). Enjoy!!
It is a pleasure to welcome singer-songwriter Jennifer Harper as a guest on the latest edition of The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast. Raised in a musical family in Washington, D.C., Jennifer was drawn to the piano from a young age. Her early influences included the sounds of Simon & Garfunkel, Cat Stevens, and Joni Mitchell, which she taught herself to play by ear. This early passion for music set the stage for a lifelong journey of creative expression and healing. Jennifer's artistry is both contemplative and assured, a blend of her classical training and deep connection to the healing power of music. Her album, Soul Alive, reflects this duality, offering a soothing, mantra-like sound that resonates with listeners on a profound level. Created with the guidance of NY producer Matt Anthony, the album captures Jennifer's personal transformation during the pandemic and channels themes of hope, healing, and positivity. Over the years, Jennifer's work has gained recognition in notable outlets such as No Depression, BuzzFeed, and Songwriting Magazine. Her performances have graced legendary venues across the U.S., from Rockwood Music Hall and The Cutting Room in New York to The Mint in Los Angeles. Icon Roquel “Billy” Davis has mentored her, collaborated with and performed alongside world-renowned musicians, and appeared on large stages at March for Our Lives rallies, further solidifying her influence in the music world. But Jennifer's journey isn't confined to music alone.After discovering Human Design and the Gene Keys, she spent two years studying them intensively. Now, she blends her musical talents with spiritual guidance to support women worldwide in reaching their full potential. Through her Soul Blueprint Activations and Sacred Frequency Recalibrations, Jennifer offers transformative experiences that merge frequency, sound, and energy work. Her Sacred Frequency Recalibrations are designed to amplify clarity, ground energy at the cellular level, activate DNA, clear ancestral blocks, and magnetize true potential.A proud mother of three grown children, Jennifer finds joy in nature, healthy living, and inspiring others. As she continues to build momentum for Soul Alive, Jennifer remains committed to her mission of healing and empowerment through her music and spiritual work. On this edition of The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Jennifer Harper revealed her musical influences, Soul Alive, and the stories behind her most-streamed Spotify songs.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/jake-s-take-with-jacob-elyachar--4112003/support.

Send us a textThis ain't your grandma's podcast recap. After five long-ass years and 200 episodes of pure chaotic energy, The Funky Panther boys are still talkin' shit, takin' names, and accidentally jacking off crickets (don't ask). In this “farewell-but-not-really” dumpster fire of nostalgia, we look back at the beer-soaked beginnings, roast our old intros, and get weirdly emotional over CPAP machines and robot vacuums. Chad announces he's ditching the mic for married life and adulting — RIP to his balls. Also featuring: edible-fueled honeymoons, dick jokes during serious announcements, and more clickbait than a Buzzfeed intern on meth. If you've ever wanted to hear grown men cry into microphones while debating the proper term for robot slurs, this one's for you.

Justin Trudeau is in a new relationship, and it's out of this world. He's over the moon about her. Utterly starstruck. It's Astronaut Katy Perry! Buzzfeed is back. Just kidding. It never went away. Nowadays, Buzzfeed is pushing microfeminism to own men. Let's check in on how that's going. Former President Barack Obama just won't go away. He went on Marc Maron's podcast to whine, push climate change and be soft on crime.

As the Supreme Court opens a new term this week, we take a step back to ask: What did the last term tell us about this Court? About its values, its power, and its vision for American democracy?Because make no mistake: Every decision, every ruling, every case the Court chooses to hear—or not to hear—signals something about who we are becoming as a nation.In this Ms. Studios special, we bring you our 2024-2025 Supreme Court Review: a conversation recorded at Georgetown Law this summer, moderated by myself and featuring some of the sharpest legal minds in the country: Erwin Chemerinsky, Sherrilyn Ifill, Jamelle Bouie, Moira Donegan, Chris Geidner, and Mark Joseph Stern.Together, we reflect on the major rulings, the missed opportunities, and the throughlines that defined the Court in 2024 and 2025—from the reshaping of executive power to the quiet dismantling of long-standing civil rights protections.This episode is a recording of a panel that took place at Georgetown Law School on July 2, 2025. Joining us to discuss these issues are our very important guests:Dean Erwin Chemerinsky, Dean and Jesse H. Choper Distinguished Professor of Law, UC Berkeley School of LawProfessor Sherrilyn A. Ifill, 14th Amendment Center for Law & Democracy Founding Director and Vernon Jordan Distinguished Professor in Civil Rights, Howard University School of LawJamelle Antoine Bouie, Opinion Columnist, The New York TimesMoira Donegan, Opinion Columnist, The Guardian USChris Geidner, Former Legal Editor, Buzzfeed, Publisher; Editor Law DorkMark Joseph Stern, Senior Writer, Slate MagazineCheck out this episode's landing page at MsMagazine.com for a full transcript, links to articles referenced in this episode, further reading and ways to take action.Support the show
This week, I sat down with Minou Clark, CEO of RealSelf, to talk about leadership, culture, and why creativity is the secret weapon in business. Minou's journey is anything but traditional. From theater major to running digital growth at BuzzFeed, PopSugar, People, Yahoo, and Paris Hilton's 11:11 Media, before stepping into the CEO role at RealSelf.We cover entrepreneurship, digital strategy, and what it really means to lead with empathy. Minou shares how her theater background shaped her leadership style and built her emotional intelligence, and why she treats interns, CFOs, and board members exactly the same, holding radical transparency as her rule. She talks about rebranding RealSelf to modernize the experience while keeping its loyal community at the center, and why companies that resist change get left behind. We also dig into the gap between corporate excitement about AI and consumer distrust, and Minou's long-term vision for RealSelf beyond aesthetics to include wellness, nutrition, and mental health.If you're building a brand, leading a team, or just want to understand how empathy and bold change fuel real growth, this episode is packed with insights you can use. Listen now for lessons on leadership, digital growth, and why being authentic is the best strategy.

Money isn't just about numbers. It's about worth, safety, and possibility. Yet most of us were never taught how to handle it, and many of us carry fear, shame, or scarcity when it comes to our finances.In this episode, Sarah talks with Priya Malani, Founder and CEO of Stash Wealth and host of The F Word podcast, about how to demystify money and reclaim financial confidence. Together they explore why money is a neutral tool, how to shift from fear to empowerment, and why aligning your finances with your values is one of the most radical forms of care.You'll hear:• Why money is so emotionally charged and how to navigate the fear and shame it brings up• How to break the cycle of scarcity, feast-or-famine, and “I'm just bad with money” beliefs• Simple, practical steps to create financial stability like automation and emergency funds• Why wealth isn't about greed but about amplifying your values and goals• How to stay grounded and intentional with money during uncertain timesMore on Priya Malani: Priya Malani is the founder and CEO of Stash Wealth, the financial planning firm for ambitious 30-somethings who want to get their financial sh*t together.Known for her no-BS, jargon-free take on money, Priya helps clients keep (or even upgrade) their lifestyle while still hitting bigger goals - whether that's buying a home, taking a sabbatical, starting a family, or buying a G-Wagon with zero guilt.Her expertise is regularly featured in The New York Times, BuzzFeed, Business Insider, Forbes, NerdWallet, and many more. She's also the host of The F. Word Podcast, recently named Best Investor Podcast at the 2025 Wealth Management Industry Awards.When she's not challenging outdated financial advice, you'll find her in New York City, likely testing out a new restaurant or planning her next international trip.Website: https://www.stashwealth.com/Podcast - 'The F.
