What flying drones over great whites really revealed is that far more white sharks live off Southern California beaches than anyone's records showed, often within a few yards of swimmers who never know they're there. Carlos Gauna, known online as The Malibu Artist, has spent years documenting them from above. It started with a shot he missed: sitting atop Point Dume at sunset without his camera or phone, he watched a large white shark chase a sea lion right below him. He had been flying his drone over gray whales, and from that night on he went looking for sharks. Today the photographer and FAA-certified drone pilot films white sharks nearly every month of the year, has published peer-reviewed research on their behavior, and funds most of his fieldwork through his YouTube channel. Andrew and Dave follow the whole path with him: storm chasing in Oklahoma with his university's first digital camera, 16 years in corporate insurance while shooting weddings on the side, and a first drone bought in 2016 by someone who admits he couldn't stand drones at first. Carlos explains how he scouted beaches by tallying decades of reported encounters in Ralph Collier's Shark Research Committee records, then used empty COVID-era beaches to search alone. That's where his first viral clip came from: four white sharks consuming a common dolphin in 18 minutes. He also describes how outreach to Dr. Chris Lowe's Shark Lab and to Dr. Alison Towner turned an artist's curiosity into careful science communication. Dave adds what he saw from helicopters over Monterey Bay and South Africa decades ago, and the three of them work through a hard question: are there more white sharks now, or are we just finally able to see them? The conversation also gets into water temperature as the most reliable predictor of where sharks show up, reading a shark's mood from the angle of its pectoral fins, filming natural behavior with no chum in the water, and the viral video of a swimmer who waved off a lifeguard while white sharks circled him. Carlos compares Southern California's approach to shark sightings with Cape Cod's, shares his simple rule for beachgoers when his drone flies close, and closes with advice for young creators: find a story, and make the content you want to watch. Takeaways: Carlos Gauna switched from filming whales to filming white sharks after seeing a sea lion chased at Point Dume, a moment he couldn't record. He found his first shark hotspots by tallying reported encounters, beach by beach, in Ralph Collier's Shark Research Committee records, then searching those beaches by drone. Encounter databases rely on people noticing sharks. Drone surveys show white sharks close to swimmers who never knew they were there. Warm water temperature is the most consistent predictor Carlos has found for locating white sharks, especially in January and February. Hours of observation let him read shark behavior from fin posture, telling a calm, agitated, or foraging shark apart. Filming without chum shows natural behavior, which differs from the amped-up sharks seen on baited TV shoots. Staying with a group in the water lowers risk, and when a drone hovers close to you, a shark is probably nearby. Carlos' YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/themalibuartist

If We Were Buying a House Today: What Real Estate Professionals Would Look For When you're touring a home with your real estate agent and you really like it, there's a good chance you've considered asking: “Would you buy this house?” Or, when it comes time to write an offer: “What would you offer?” They're understandable questions. After all, your real estate agent sees homes every day. They understand the market, recognize potential concerns, know what features buyers tend to value, and have watched countless transactions unfold. But here's the catch: The house your real estate agent would buy isn't necessarily the house you should buy. That's exactly what Melissa Wallace and Boston Connect Real Estate agent Kristen Howlett explored during an episode of Talk Real Estate Roundtable. They turned the tables and asked themselves what they would do if they were buying a home today. What would matter most? What would they compromise on? What wouldn't bother them? What might make them walk away? And perhaps most importantly, how should a real estate professional respond when a client asks, “Would you buy this house?” The answers reveal an important lesson for anyone beginning a home search: the goal isn't to find a universally perfect house. It's to find the house that makes sense for you. Before You Look at Houses, Figure Out What You're Actually Looking For It's tempting to begin a home search by opening your favorite real estate app and scrolling through listings. But before falling in love with photos, start with a conversation. What do you need? What do you want? What are you willing to compromise on? And what would you absolutely regret compromising on? Kristen discussed the importance of becoming knowledgeable about your own priorities before jumping into the search. A feature that's a non-negotiable for one buyer may be something another buyer barely considers. Think of it as creating your own buyer box. That might include: Location Budget Number of bedrooms and bathrooms Commute Yard size Privacy Garage Basement First-floor bedroom Updated kitchen Central air Heating system Septic versus sewer Well versus town water Proximity to family Neighborhood style Outdoor living space Future flexibility And don't be surprised when that list changes. One of the benefits of actually touring homes is discovering things you didn't realize mattered to you. You may walk into your first few houses convinced that you need a huge primary bedroom and eventually realize you'd rather have a smaller bedroom and a finished basement. You might think you need a garage until you find a home in the perfect location without one. Or you may discover that something you thought was a minor preference is actually a dealbreaker. Your home search should teach you something about yourself. Location May Matter More Than the House When Melissa asked Kristen what she would prioritize if she started house hunting tomorrow, Kristen's first answer was simple: Location. It's one of the oldest sayings in real estate for a reason. You can renovate a kitchen. You can paint walls. You can replace flooring. You may be able to add central air, redesign a bathroom, finish a basement, improve landscaping, or build a patio. But you can't pick up the house and move it somewhere else. Melissa and Kristen considered a hypothetical choice: House A: Almost everything you want, but the location isn't your first choice. House B: The location is perfect, but the house needs work and doesn't check every box. Both chose House B. Their reasoning was that many aspects of a property can potentially be improved over time, while the location stays the same. Of course, that doesn't mean every buyer should make the same choice. It means buyers should understand how much location matters to them before making an offer. “Location” Means Something Different to Everyone Location doesn't necessarily mean choosing the most popular town. For one buyer, location may mean being close to the highway. For another, it means being far away from it. It might mean an eight-minute commute to work. Being near the water. Living close to parents who help with childcare. Being able to walk into town. Having privacy. Living on a cul-de-sac. Being near restaurants and shopping. Or having enough land that you can't see your neighbors. Melissa pointed out that while she loves her short commute to work, getting to the highway takes significantly longer. That experience would influence what she considered if she were searching for another home. That's why buyers need to look beyond the house itself. Ask yourself: What will living here actually look like every day? Your Priorities Should Match the Season of Life You're In What matters to you at 30 may be completely different from what matters at 55. A busy road may feel like a dealbreaker when you're raising young children but become much less important later. A four-bedroom Colonial may have been perfect when all the kids were home, but buying another four-bedroom Colonial after they leave may not make sense. Kristen discussed wanting a first-floor bedroom or at least a space that could eventually become one because she was thinking beyond what she needs today. She also emphasized outdoor living space while noting that an outdated kitchen wouldn't necessarily prevent her from purchasing the right home. That's a great way to approach a home search. Don't only ask: “Does this work for me today?” Also ask: “Could this continue working for me if my life changes?” You can't predict everything, but you can think ahead. Don't Automatically Rule Out Cosmetic Updates Buyers frequently say they want something move-in ready. There's nothing wrong with that. But if everything else about a house works, it may be worth separating cosmetic problems from fundamental problems. Dated kitchen? Old bathroom? Paint colors you hate? No central air? Small bedrooms? Those things may or may not matter depending on the buyer. During their rapid-fire discussion, Melissa and Kristen found themselves willing to compromise on several features. A dated kitchen wasn't necessarily a problem. A smaller bedroom could work if there were other living spaces. A garage wasn't necessarily a requirement. This is where buyers can benefit from asking: Can I change this? And if the answer is yes: How difficult or expensive would it be? There is a significant difference between disliking kitchen cabinets and disliking where the house is located. Sometimes You Don't Know What Matters Until You Have It One of the more interesting parts of a home search is discovering preferences you didn't know you had. Melissa talked about how much she values the land and privacy she has at her current home. With approximately 2.7 acres, wooded surroundings and plenty of wildlife, privacy has become something she has grown accustomed to and something she would now consider when purchasing another property. That illustrates why your criteria may evolve. Living somewhere teaches you what you appreciate. Maybe your current home has a basement and you've never thought much about it. Then you tour a home built on a slab and suddenly wonder where you're going to put everything currently stored downstairs. Maybe you've never had a garage and don't care about one. Maybe you've always had central air and can't imagine living without it. Maybe you never thought outdoor space mattered until you had a deck or patio you used every evening. Experience changes priorities. Think About the Function of the Entire House Buyers can become overly focused on individual rooms. The bedrooms are too small. The kitchen isn't big enough. There's only one closet in the primary bedroom. Instead, consider how the entire home functions. Melissa discussed having relatively smaller bedrooms but additional living areas, including a finished basement and another lounge space. Because the house provides those additional areas, bedroom size matters less to her. That's an important distinction. Square footage alone doesn't tell you how a house lives. A smaller, thoughtfully designed home may function better for you than a larger property with wasted space. As you tour, imagine your daily routine. Where does everyone watch TV? Where would you work? Where do coats and shoes go? Where would guests stay? Where would you store holiday decorations? Where does the dog sleep? Where would the kids do homework? Where would everyone gather? The floor plan needs to work for your life, not simply look good in listing photos. What Would Make a Real Estate Professional Walk Away? This is where the conversation became particularly interesting. Melissa and Kristen discussed issues they personally might be unwilling to take on. Water concerns were high on Melissa's list. Significant foundation or structural concerns were another example. Location could also be enough to walk away if the property simply wasn't where they wanted to live. But their larger point was important: Not every red flag automatically means you shouldn't buy the house. Sometimes a red flag simply means: We need more information. A Concern Isn't Always a Dealbreaker Imagine an inspection identifies an electrical concern. That doesn't necessarily mean you immediately walk away. It may mean you consult an electrician. Concern about plumbing? Call a plumber. Possible mold? Talk with the appropriate specialist. Structural question? Seek additional professional guidance. As Melissa explained during the episode, inspectors, attorneys, lenders, insurance professionals, contractors, and other specialists can help buyers gather the information they need before making a decision. That's an important distinction between reacting to a problem and investigating a problem. Your agent's role isn't necessarily to say, “Don't buy this house.” It's to help you recognize when additional information may be appropriate so you can make a more informed choice. Don't Keep Looking at Houses That Violate Your True Non-Negotiables There's value in seeing different types of homes early in your search. It helps you learn. But eventually, you need to stop torturing yourself. If you've decided something is genuinely non-negotiable, continually touring homes that don't meet that requirement can create unnecessary frustration. Melissa and Kristen discussed how the list buyers begin with may change as they see properties. Something that begins as non-negotiable can become negotiable and vice versa. But once you've identified a true dealbreaker, your search can become more focused. The goal isn't to see every house. The goal is to see the right houses. So…Would Your Agent Buy This House? Now we're back to the original question. You're standing in the kitchen. You love the house. You turn to your agent and ask: “Would you buy it?” A good agent may not give you the simple yes or no you're hoping for. Instead, they may ask: Does this property meet the goals you gave me? Do you understand its condition? Can you comfortably afford the property beyond the purchase price? Are you overlooking something because you're emotionally attached to the house? Are you dismissing an otherwise good property because of something relatively easy to change? Are there future resale considerations worth discussing? Those were some of the questions Melissa and Kristen identified as being more useful than simply inserting their personal preferences into a client's decision. Because your agent isn't buying the house. You are. “What Would You Offer?” Is Personal, Too This is another question agents hear all the time. “What would you offer?” Your agent can help you understand comparable sales, asking price, market activity, property condition, competition, conversations with the listing agent, and other information that may help you structure an offer. But there's another component that is much harder to calculate: What is the house worth to you? Melissa described the difference between market value and the emotional value a buyer places on a property. An agent can help explain the market and whether a multiple-offer situation appears likely, but the buyer ultimately has to determine what they're comfortable offering. One helpful question Kristen raised was essentially this: If you offered one amount and later discovered the property sold for slightly more, would you regret not offering more? That's not a formula for determining an offer. It's a way to think about your own comfort level. There should be a number where, if someone else is willing to pay more, you're comfortable saying: “Then it was their house, not mine.” Your Agent's Job Isn't to Choose Your House Perhaps the most important takeaway from the entire conversation came toward the end of the show. A real estate professional's role isn't to make the decision for the buyer. It's to provide the information the buyer needs to make an informed decision. That's the difference between guidance and personal preference. Your agent may personally hate HOAs. You may love the idea of having exterior maintenance taken care of. Your agent may not care about having a garage. You may consider it non-negotiable. Your agent may love an antique home. You may want new construction. None of those personal preferences make one choice right and another wrong. The question isn't: “Would my real estate agent buy this house?” The better question is: “Based on everything we know, does this house make sense for me?” If We Were Buying a House Today... We'd start with the same advice we'd give our clients: Know your budget. Understand your lifestyle. Think about location. Separate needs from wants. Identify true non-negotiables. Be willing to reconsider assumptions. Think about your future without trying to predict it perfectly. Don't dismiss a good property solely because of something you can reasonably change. Don't ignore a major concern simply because you've fallen in love with the house. Ask questions. Bring in additional professionals when you need more information. And lean on your real estate agent for guidance not to make the decision for you, but to help you understand the decision you're making. At Boston Connect Real Estate, that's what we believe buyer representation should look like. Buying a home isn't about finding the house that your agent would choose. It's about finding the home that fits your finances, your priorities, your lifestyle, and the next chapter of your life. If you're thinking about buying a home in Boston, the South Shore, the South Coast, Cape Cod, or surrounding Massachusetts communities, the experienced agents at Boston Connect Real Estate are here to help you navigate the process, ask the right questions, and make an informed decision with confidence. The firm serves buyers and sellers throughout these Massachusetts markets with a holistic approach to real estate. Every move should be a moving experience. Watch our live video on Youtube!

This is episode 4 of our Heritage Harbours short series, celebrating the Heritage Harbour initiative which seeks to protect and revive historic ports, docks, canals and waterfronts that still retain a genuine working maritime character.Ipswich holds a remarkable place in maritime history: it can claim links with Anglo-Saxon kings, the Hanseatic trading network, the circumnavigation of the globe, the founding of English America, and one of Britain's busiest modern commercial estuaries.The story begins nearly 1,400 years ago, when the Anglo-Saxon kings of East Anglia established one of England's very first international trading ports on the River Orwell. Just a few miles away lies Sutton Hoo, where one of the greatest archaeological discoveries in Europe revealed the splendour of those early kings. But if Sutton Hoo tells us about royal power, Ipswich tells us where much of that wealth came from. Merchants here were trading across the North Sea centuries before England even existed as a united kingdom.By the Middle Ages, Ipswich had become one of England's great commercial ports, trading extensively with the great merchant cities of northern Europe through the Hanseatic League—that remarkable alliance of trading towns stretching from London to the Baltic. Those connections helped bring timber, iron, grain and countless other goods to the town, while East Anglia's agricultural produce flowed in the opposite direction. Today, Ipswich celebrates those historic links as a member of the New Hanse, a modern network of towns that share this extraordinary trading heritage.Fast forward to the Age of Discovery and the Ipswich area produced a quite remarkable trio of maritime pioneers.First came Sir Thomas Cavendish, from nearby Trimley, who became only the second Englishman to sail around the world. Inspired by Francis Drake, he deliberately set out to circumnavigate the globe, raiding Spanish shipping as he went and capturing one of the richest prizes of the Elizabethan age—the treasure-laden Manila galleon Santa Ana.Sailing with him was an Ipswich merchant called Thomas Eldred, the first known man from the town to circumnavigate the globe. Unlike Cavendish, Eldred wasn't an aristocrat or an adventurer. He was a businessman. Returning home, he became one of Ipswich's leading merchants and an early supporter of the East India Company, helping turn England's age of exploration into an age of global trade.Then, just a few years later, came Bartholomew Gosnold, born at nearby Otley. Long before the Pilgrim Fathers sailed on the Mayflower, Gosnold crossed the Atlantic, explored and named Cape Cod, and went on to help found Jamestown—the first permanent English settlement in North America. In many ways, he helped lay the foundations of English America.Today, Ipswich is proud to be one of the UK's Heritage Harbours, but this isn't simply a place that preserves its past. It's still a thriving commercial port, exporting grain from the fertile fields of East Anglia to markets around the world. It's a wonderful example of a harbour that has never stopped working.

I'm the first episode outside of the studio- Heath brings to you a talk about finding balance as a regular practice in life. This one comes from the southern shore of Cape Cod on a warm late summer weekend. Since Heath's birthday is on/near the autumn equinox, that gives the annual motivation to dig in and find what is out of balance in life. The dance the earth makes to balance its day and night is never delayed and is on time and unavoidable- and we as humans should use that big calendar in the sky to do the same thing in our own life.Heath explores this concept from the ocean (sorry for the wind noise) and dives in to help embrace the chance to find YOUR balance!Sponsors:This episode is brought to you by Organifi : clean, organic superfood blends that actually taste good and support your body and mind through healing and growth.

In commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, it is my honor to welcome   Air Force (Ret.) Maj. Gen. Jonathan Treacy to the podcast.  General Treacy was   the commander of the 101st Fighter Squadron at Cape Cod that provided the initial air defense response to the terrorist attacks on the Twin Towers.   Tracer, as he is known to fellow fighter pilots and ground crews, also led the 101st through two combat deployments to Southwest Asia prior to 9/11: Operations Northern and Southern Watch. He served as the Joint Staff’s Deputy Director for Antiterrorism and Homeland Defense, as acting Director of Staff for the National Guard Bureau, and Commander, Joint Task Civil Support, U.S. Northern Command’s Standing Operational Joint Task Force.  Major General Treacy has been awarded several service medals and was the keynote speaker during the 25th Annual Commemoration in the Massachusetts State House Chambers on September 11th.  Special thanks to the Massachusetts 9/11 Fund for their dedication to remembrance and education.    www.massfund.org.

On February 18, 1952, a violent nor'easter raged through New England and two steel tankers were torn in half within hours of each other off the coast of Cape Cod. The SS Pendleton and the SS Fort Mercer, both battered by hurricane-force winds and towering seas, cracked apart in what would become one of the most remarkable maritime rescue operations in U.S. Coast Guard history. This episode traces the disaster from the first distress calls to the daring small-boat rescues that followed, including the U.S. Coast Guard's response from Chatham, Massachusetts, where a 36-foot motor lifeboat crew set out into near-impossible conditions to save the men trapped aboard the shattered stern sections. You will hear about the chaos of coordinating two simultaneous sinkings and the extraordinary courage of the small crews who braved 60-foot waves and freezing temperatures to bring survivors home. Joining Rich as a guest is Professor and Associate Chair of Materials Science and Engineering at Iowa State University, Ralph E. Napolitano, Jr., to examine the structural failures that doomed both T2 tankers. Mr. Napolitano is the brother of the host of Shipwrecks and Sea Dogs, Rich Napolitano. Sources for this episode include but are not limited to the US Coast Guard Marine Board of Investigation reports for the Pendleton and Fort Mercer, the oral accounts given by Bernard Webber, the United States Naval Institute, the Coast Guard Foundation, the Orleans Historical Society, and the Massachusetts Board of Underwater Archaeological Resources.

Rosemary Woodruff Leary sat in a jail cell for a month rather than testify against her husband. While she was inside, Timothy Leary gave a ten page interview to Playboy about what LSD does to a woman's body and did not mention her once.She was his editor, his translator, the person who read the room for him, and the organizer who coordinated his 1970 prison escape across the Weather Underground, the Black Panthers, and the Brotherhood of Eternal Love.

She was working through four hundred boxes of Timothy Leary's papers at the New York Public Library when she noticed a much smaller collection almost nobody had opened.Key TakeawaysRosemary Woodruff Leary served a month in jail rather than testify against Timothy Leary before a grand jury investigating Millbrook, and the Playboy interview that made him famous ran while she was inside.She was the coordinating point between the factions who organized Leary's 1970 prison escape, working with the attorney who also represented the Weather Underground and the Black Panthers. She called herself The Computer.Leary later decoded their letters for investigators and offered her mother money for her location. She spent twenty four years underground and could not hold any job requiring a Social Security number.She died at 66. Cahalan connects that directly to going without health insurance for the years she was a fugitive, which is the harm reduction point of the episode and has nothing to do with the drugs.Rosemary told students explicitly that psychedelics are not for everyone and that there is a shadow side, a position Cahalan argues is more relevant to the current renaissance than anything Leary said.LSD remains a Schedule I substance under the federal Controlled Substances Act.

Drop us a line or two . . .This one hits differently.The episode opens with Queenie still finding her footing after what can only be described as a vacation that got yanked out from under her. She and TT had been soaking up the final glorious days of Cape Cod — doing absolutely nothing of consequence, seaside, blissfully unbothered — when Queenie got the call. Mumsy had taken a fall on her way in from her program. Smashed pelvis. Fractured sacrum. Twenty-four hours in the ER. And Queenie was five-plus hours away in Truro, Massachusetts.Enter Lauren — Queenie's daughter, a registered nurse, who had literally just come off her own shift when the call came in and immediately redirected herself to St. Peter's Hospital to be with Gigi. Which, thank God, because what unfolded in that ER was a master class in how not to treat a ninety-three-year-old woman with multiple fractures and mild cognitive disorder. Gigi spent hours on a stretcher in a hallway. No fluids. No pain management. Lauren sat in the waiting room in her scrubs for three hours before she could even get back to her mother. A physician didn't lay eyes on her until the early hours of the morning — twelve hours in. They were also apparently going to send her home, and the only thing that stopped that was the fact that Gigi was having trouble oxygenating. Which is terrifying, and also accidentally the thing that saved her.Queenie is cautiously optimistic that Gigi will be transferred to Sunnyview, an acute rehab facility, with Lauren quietly working every connection she has to make it happen. The physician reviewer initially declined the transfer — and then apparently learned he was "dealing with a VIP" and reversed course. So. Lauren's getting things done.Meanwhile, TT is recording from the Cape on her last day — computer balanced on four puzzle boxes, microphone rattling every time she shifts on the bed, doing her absolute best. She's not ready to leave. Nobody ever is. Honey spotted a great white shark in the bay with his binoculars (there had already been a sighting from a boat the day before, so he knew what he was looking at). A seal was hanging out ten feet off the beach. TT's sister Mare found two rocks shaped like sharks and everyone is coming home with a collection of found treasures. TT found a nose. An actual rock nose. They both save boxes — Apple boxes are singled out as particularly premium — and they are completely unapologetic about this.There is a brief and important moment of grief for the inflatable island, a large and unwieldy float that had served them well but had been slowly losing air all week despite a duct-tape patch job that was, by their own admission, not exactly precision work. With the combined assistance of TT's three sons and two daughters-in-law, the island was retired with dignity. They're reconfiguring for something more age-appropriate going forward. A parasol was suggested.The episode's "What Have You Consumed Today" check-in: Queenie is smoking Mendo Purps dog walkers from Hepworth — tiny little things, perfect for microdosing, very cute. TT scored her gummies, which have apparently been rebranded from "Hummies" to "Tree Works." TT took half of one five-milligram. They are both doing what they need to do to stay on an even keel.The "Wait, What?" segment this week is a roundup of things people only discovered about their partners after moving in together. One sock removed hours before bed, the other stays on — nobody knows why. Three hundred used contact lenses tossed behind the headboard instead of the trash. Popcorn eaten with bites of lettuce, apparently a whole-family tradition. Coffee cups left a quarter full in random locations throughout the home. Cabinets never quite closed, jar lids never quite tightened — this one lands especially hard given that Queenie points out they paid serious money for self-closing cabinets and drawers that are somehow being actively defeated. No consistent spot for keys or wallet, leading to morning chaos. Overfilling plates, eating half, leaving the rest by the sink. TT's real grievance surfaces: leaving two chips in a bag, two kernels in the popcorn, one sad schmear of cream cheese. Why. TT poses the actual important question here: how many people confronted these behaviors, and how many have just been quietly simmering for forty years? Queenie, speaking from experience, gives the simmering option roughly forty-odd years before it erupts — probably over something completely unrelated.TT's Choice, the segment where TT picks a number between one and seventy-five, lands on twenty-five: "What if you had to live your mother's exact life? What's the first thing you'd change?" TT goes straight to money — her family lived in poverty, and she'd change that first, with the hope it might have kept her grandfather from becoming violent toward her grandmother. Queenie's mind goes immediately to her own grandfather, who suffered what was then called a "nervous breakdown," was institutionalized for years, declared legally incompetent, and received electroshock therapy — which Queenie's mother witnessed firsthand during her nursing school psych rotation. Both women find themselves trying to undo pain for their mothers, trying to remove the source of trauma. Then they catch themselves: would changing those things mean their mothers — or they themselves — would be the same people? Probably not. It's a real question with no clean answer, and they sit in it for a moment.From there, the conversation drifts into what they would change about their own lives. Queenie says she'd want more awareness — more information, more sense of what was possible. She never considered going away to school, never even thought about working a summer on the Cape, not because she said no but because the option simply never materialized in her mind. It wasn't available to her as a concept. They talk about the generation-wide narrowing of possibility for women — a classmate who was explicitly told her parents wouldn't fund architecture school because she had brothers. Someone had to be the one to get educated. It wasn't going to be her. Queenie and TT both landed in human services almost by a kind of collegial suggestion — TT picked it, and Queenie thought: service to humans, helping people, I can do that. And she could.Queenie reflects on nursing — something she considered but rejected because she didn't trust her own instincts, feared paralysis by analysis, couldn't imagine the decisiveness it requires. She has enormous respect for nurses for exactly that reason. Which brings it back to Lauren, and to TT's sister Mary, and to what nurses actually do every single day — the compassion, the common sense, the ability to think outside the box under pressure, the advocacy. The Fucket List entry for the week is exactly that: fuck it to professionals who treat vulnerable people without dignity. Queenie's quiet fury about Gigi's twelve hours in a hallway, alone, unexamined, in pain — it comes through clearly. And her equally quiet point about what happens to people who don't have a Lauren in their corner, who don't have someone who knows what questions to ask and won't back down — that one lands hard.The episode closes with TT packing up in Truro, stopping in Albany to see her sister before the long drive home, sand in her shoes, rocks in her bags, already mourning the version of herself that got to live here for a while. The outro poem/song is beautiful — salt still drying on skin, the bay deciding your schedule, going sane by surrendering to it. "I'm leaving softer than I came and heavier than I."Same, TT. Same.

Send us Fan MailMike Preshman didn't start out planning to build a 220-unit multifamily portfolio. With a background in computer science and tech entrepreneurship, his entry into real estate began almost accidentally—with a vacation home on Cape Cod.That first property opened his eyes to the income potential of real estate. He added more vacation rentals before realizing that the model was difficult to scale. Over the next decade, Mike shifted toward multifamily properties throughout Greater Boston and the Northeast, ultimately building his portfolio without bringing in outside equity investors.In this episode of Weiss Advice, Mike explains why his strategy has centered on cash flow, downside protection, and owning assets that can be held for the long term rather than relying on appreciation and a future sale.He also shares the contrarian philosophy behind his investing: “Be a cat when everybody's a dog.” When investors pile into the hottest markets and strategies, Mike would rather look for opportunities others are overlooking.The conversation goes beyond real estate into decision-making, masterminds, poker, asymmetric risk, and why successful investing requires being comfortable making decisions when the outcome is uncertain. Mike also explains how his definition of success has evolved—and why building wealth today is increasingly tied to a much bigger mission.Timestamps00:52 – Mike's journey from tech entrepreneur to real estate investor 01:56 – The accidental vacation rental that started everything 07:15 – Why Mike wants “generational assets” instead of playing real estate “hot potato” 12:19 – “Be a cat when everybody's a dog”: Mike's contrarian investing philosophy 15:00 – Masterminds, surrounding yourself with growth-minded people, and avoiding shiny objects 19:51 – What poker taught Mike about investing and decision-making under uncertainty 21:55 – Avoiding paralysis by analysis and taking risks that won't wipe you out 27:17 – Asymmetric risk: protecting the downside while preserving the upside 30:45 – What success means to Mike today 32:49 – The ambitious lifetime giving goal that became Mike's North StarMike's story is a reminder that building wealth doesn't necessarily require following the hottest market, raising large amounts of outside capital, or constantly selling assets.

Matthew 7: 24-27, “Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won’t collapse because it is build on bedrock. But anyone who hears my teaching and doesn’t obey it is foolish, like a person who builds a house on sand. When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house, it will collapse with a mighty crash.” Jesus tells a simple story, but its message is anything but simple. Two people build two houses. One builds on rock. The other builds on sand. Both houses look fine when the sun is shining. Both appear strong. But everything changes when the storm comes. The rain pours. The floodwaters rise. The winds beat against both houses. And suddenly, the difference between the two builders becomes obvious. On the coast of Southern California are gorgeous homes built along the cliff of the Pacific Ocean. Their views are priceless – but the homes are now worthless. Why? Because they’re literally falling into the ocean. The sandy cliffs are crumbling with each storm that comes through. They’re for sale but no one will buy them. Why is that? Because they’re now a huge liability and inevitably doomed. One home fell into the ocean and the owners were fined $100,000 per day until the mess was cleaned up. You know what this tells us – building your home on the wrong foundation is entirely too costly! We can’t afford that, my friends! One of my favorite retreat houses was a mansion in Cape Cod. It was absolutely stunning, sitting on a peninsula all by itself with views for miles of water from every window in the house. We were the last people to get to stay in that mansion because the sandy bluff it was built on collapsed. The entire house was torn down knowing it wouldn’t survive the next storm. Who would build a house on land like that? Oh girl, when you’re focused on that view, it’s easy to be fooled. That makes me question – what would fool me? Success has fooled me in the past. Looks have fooled me in the past. Money has fooled me several times. I’ve been a fool building great things on the sand more than once – have you? It all has a real special way of crumbling and leaving a massive mess. Jesus says the wise builder is the person who listens to His teaching and follows it. The foolish builder is the person who hears His teaching but doesn’t obey it. Did you catch that? The difference isn’t who heard Jesus. They both heard Him. The difference was what they did with what they heard. That makes this parable intensely personal. You and I are the builders and we’re choosing our foundations today. Will what we are doing today last – or will it be another mess to clean up when it crumbles? It’s possible to know God’s Word without building your life on it. We can hear a sermon, highlight a verse, and even agree with everything Jesus says – and then walk away and live according to our own wisdom and our own feelings. We can get fooled by the views and build on the sand. Jesus says that’s foolish. This is huge – make a note – Information isn’t the foundation. Obedience is. (Let’s make sure you really get that – information is not your foundation. Information will not save you. Obedience is. Hearing about Jesus is not enough. Knowing his word isn’t enough. You have to do something with this!) Maybe you know Jesus says to forgive, but you’re still holding tightly to that hurt. Maybe you know He tells you not to worry, but anxiety is still controlling your thoughts. Maybe you know He tells you to love your enemies, but you’ve decided someone is the exception. Maybe you know He tells you to trust Him, but you’re desperately trying to control an outcome He never asked you to control. You know what He says. But are you building your life on it? Jesus is our solid rock. Psalm 18:2 says, “The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my savior.” When Jesus is our foundation, we have something solid beneath us when everything around us begins to shake. (And shake it will.) Notice something very important about Jesus’ story: Both houses experienced the storm. The house on the rock wasn’t protected from the rain. The flood still rose. The wind still beat against it. Following Jesus doesn’t mean you’ll never have a storm. You will. I seemed to miss that truth early in my journey with Jesus. I was shocked when our business fell apart. I was absolutely shocked when we couldn’t pay the bills. I couldn’t understand why we weren’t protected from those hardships. Somewhere along the way, I had formed an expectation that if I followed Jesus, He would keep the really hard stuff from happening to me. I was naive enough to think Jesus was the perpetual storm stopper. He’s not. Yes, Jesus has the power to stop storms. We’ve seen Him do that. But sometimes He calms the storm, and sometimes He allows us to walk through it. And when He doesn’t stop the storm, that doesn’t mean He has stopped being good, faithful, or present. Sometimes Jesus doesn’t remove the storm. He reveals that He is strong enough to hold us through it. That was a lesson I had to learn. The promise was never that my house would never be hit by wind. The promise was that if my house was built on Him, the wind wouldn’t be able to take it down. I had confused God’s protection with God’s prevention. I thought being protected meant the storm wouldn’t come. Jesus teaches us that sometimes being protected means the storm comes—and we don’t collapse. The business can fall apart, and you can still have peace. The bills can pile up, and you can still trust God. The diagnosis can come, and you can still know He is with you. The relationship can break, and you can still believe He is good. The future can feel uncertain, and you can still stand. That’s what it means to build on the rock. Jesus doesn’t promise a life without storms. He promises with him, you have a foundation strong enough to withstand them. And sometimes, we don’t recognize how solid our foundation is until the storm gives us the opportunity to find out. There will be seasons of disappointment, loss, uncertainty, heartbreak, financial pressure, relational conflict, unanswered prayers, and circumstances you never saw coming. None of us were promised perpetually sunny skies. But we were given something far more valuable than a storm-free life. We were given a foundation that can withstand the storm. The storm doesn’t determine whether your foundation is strong. The storm reveals it. When life is going well, almost anything can feel like a foundation. Success can make you feel secure. Money can make you feel safe. A relationship can make you feel loved. Accomplishment can make you feel valuable. Control can make you feel powerful. People’s approval can make you feel worthy. But then the storm comes. And suddenly you discover that what you thought was holding you up was never strong enough to hold you at all. That’s why we don’t wait for the storm to start building on the rock. You build before the storm. You build when you’re making ordinary decisions on ordinary days. You build when you choose truth instead of convenience. When you choose obedience instead of what feels good. When you choose prayer instead of panic. When you surrender control instead of trying to manipulate an outcome. When you choose God’s approval over people’s approval. It’s all here in Jesus’ teachings for us – that’s our solid rock foundation. Those choices may not feel significant in the moment, but they are laying stone beneath your life. And when the storm comes, you’ll discover what you’ve been building all along. We can’t claim we don’t know what Jesus teaches. God’s Word has been recorded, preserved, and put right into our hands. Hebrews 4:12 says, “For the word of God is alive and powerful.” These aren’t just some ancient words sitting on a page. God’s Word speaks into our lives today. It challenges us, corrects us, comforts us, convicts us, and changes us – but only when we allow it to move beyond our ears and into our lives. There’s power in these words, but the power has to be plugged into. We plug into the power of God’s word when we actually DO WHAT IT SAYS. Don’t just read the Word. Build on it. Don’t just hear what Jesus says. Do what He says. Because someday the storm will come. And when it does, you don’t want to discover that you’ve spent your life building on sand. You want to still be standing. Build your life on Jesus. Build it on His truth. Build it on obedience. The storm may shake you. But it doesn’t have to destroy you. When Jesus is your foundation, you can stand.

In this episode of the Good In Practice podcast, host Caroline Heller, Chair of Greenberg Traurig's Global Pro Bono Program, sits down with Colin Kennedy, a litigation associate in the firm's Boston office, to discuss one of the more unexpected intersections of law and passion: sharks. A self-described "shark nerd" since childhood and a certified scuba diver, Colin has channeled his lifelong interest in great white sharks into a pro bono relationship with the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy, a Cape Cod-based nonprofit dedicated to shark research, public safety, and community education. Colin shares how a law school internship with the organization eventually led to him becoming their outside pro bono counsel at Greenberg Traurig, handling a wide range of matters. Beyond the shark stories, Colin reflects on the professional development benefits of pro bono work, explaining how serving as a primary point of contact for an organizational client has sharpened his judgment, expanded his legal knowledge across multiple practice areas, and built skills that now translate directly to his practice. He also offers encouragement to fellow associates, emphasizing that pro bono work is most rewarding when it is connected to something personally meaningful.

GODZILLA: MINUS ZERO, REMAIN, & ARTIFICIAL TRAILER REACTIONS!!! From a terrifying kaiju showdown to a supernatural love story and the controversial rise of artificial intelligence, we've got three wildly different NEW Movie Trailers to React to!! First up, we react to the new Godzilla: Minus Zero Official Trailer from Oscar-winning Godzilla Minus One filmmaker Takashi Yamazaki! Set in 1949, two years after the destruction of Godzilla Minus One, the sequel reunites Koichi Shikishima (Ryunosuke Kamiki – Rurouni Kenshin, Your Name) and Noriko Shikishima (Minami Hamabe – Shin Kamen Rider, Let Me Eat Your Pancreas) as Japan's fragile recovery is shattered by another monstrous calamity. We discuss Godzilla's terrifying return, the escalating destruction, the ominous “everything ends here” warning, and that possible King Ghidorah tease! The returning cast also includes Hidetaka Yoshioka (Always: Sunset on Third Street), Yuki Yamada (Tokyo Revengers), Kuranosuke Sasaki (Godzilla Minus One), and Sakura Ando (Shoplifters), alongside Min Tanaka (Perfect Days, Kokuho) as biologist Kanji Murakami. Godzilla: Minus Zero arrives in North American theaters November 6, 2026. Next we react to Remain, the supernatural romantic thriller combining the twisted filmmaking of M. Night Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense, Signs, Split, Trap) with the emotional storytelling of Nicholas Sparks (The Notebook, A Walk to Remember). Jake Gyllenhaal (Nightcrawler, Prisoners, Donnie Darko) stars as Tate Donovan, a grieving architect who travels to Cape Cod and falls for the mysterious Wren, played by Phoebe Dynevor (Bridgerton, Fair Play). What begins like a sweeping romance gradually transforms into an eerie mystery filled with ghostly visions, buried secrets, and all the ingredients for another classic Shyamalan twist. The cast also features Ashley Walters (Top Boy), Julie Hagerty (Airplane!), and Jay O. Sanders (Revolutionary Road). Remain arrives in theaters February 5, 2027. And finally, we react to the first trailer for Artificial, director Luca Guadagnino's provocative new movie about OpenAI, ChatGPT, and the dramatic 2023 firing and reinstatement of CEO Sam Altman. Andrew Garfield (The Social Network, The Amazing Spider-Man, Hacksaw Ridge) stars as Altman, with Yura Borisov (Anora, Compartment No. 6) as OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever, Monica Barbaro (Top Gun: Maverick, A Complete Unknown) as Mira Murati, and Ike Barinholtz (The Afterparty, Black Monday) as Elon Musk. Written by Simon Rich and directed by Guadagnino (Challengers, Call Me by Your Name, Bones and All), the Artificial trailer teases corporate power struggles, the unsettling possibilities of artificial intelligence, Sam Altman's survivalist bunker, and the battle to control technology that could reshape humanity.

Send us Fan MailBack to the Golden Age of toy shopping. Welcome to the sixth Hidden Track Podcast!For this show, we are looking at a pair of classic toy stores that so many Gen Xers frequented in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Child World and Kay-Bee Toys were staples growing up in those bygone decades. Walking the aisles, trying out some of the toys, and likely left a mess in our wake. It was the best of times. However, times can and do change. Today, both of these stores are mere relics of the past, consigned to the clearance bin of history. We will look at them both, good, bad, and everything in between.These are short-form shows, clocking in at roughly 10-15 minutes. They will cover one or two topics, likely ones previously covered on the In My Footsteps Podcast. These are subjects that were part of Top 5s or other list-form segments and deserve a more in-depth look.Enjoy this podcast snack and make sure to check your attic for anything with the logos on them, as they fetch some cash on eBay!Support me and the show by becoming a member on Patreon. Or you can support my work and Buy Me A Coffee!Helpful Links from this EpisodeBuy My New Book, In Their Footsteps!Searching For the Lady of the Dunes True Crime BookHooked By Kiwi - Etsy.comDJ Williams MusicKeeKee's Cape Cod KitchenMSFTS CommunityKingfisher Hotels Cape CodChristopher Setterlund.comCape Cod Living - Zazzle StoreSubscribe on YouTube!Initial Impressions 2.0 BlogCJSetterlundPhotos on EtsyGoodbye DollyListen to Episode 259 hereSupport the showSupport the show

Send us Fan MailIn Episode 259 we're going to have all sorts of fun in 1971. We will be diving into all things music, television, movies, and pop culture.Those were the days. Television in 1971 was a dividing line between the old and the new. Older, safer shows were being shown the door while a new generation of shows changed the landscape of pop culture. All in the Family took the world by storm with Flip Wilson, Marcu Welby, Mary Tyler Moore, and others following along. Hot pants and leisure suits dotted the dance floors when looking back at Music in 1971. Popular music began splintering into smaller niches. The Beatles were gone but Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Carole King, Rod Stewart, David Bowie, and others filled the gap.The Top 5 is filled with weird and funny news stories from 1971. A vibrating piece of clothing? An emergency broadcast false alarm? A famous plane hijacking? You'll hear about all of them and more.This Week In History and Time Capsule looks at the first transatlantic flight of the Concorde.

What if the strangest moments at the end of life are actually the most meaningful?In this episode, Alexandra Grabbe joins Brian to talk about the seven months she spent caring for her 96-year-old mother, Bea, at home — and the deathbed visions that changed how she understands what happens when we die. Alexandra shares the exhaustion, the tenderness, and the moments of unexpected grace that shaped her new memoir, Seeing Joy. If you've ever cared for a dying parent, sat with someone in their final days, or wondered what those "hallucinations" near the end of life really mean, this conversation will stay with you.About Alexandra GrabbeAlexandra Grabbe has lived many lives — talk show host in Paris, eco-friendly innkeeper on Cape Cod, and lifelong writer. After graduating from Vassar College, she raised three children in France, worked in journalism and broadcasting, and assisted literary figures Barbara Chase-Riboud and Marge Piercy. For two decades she ran a green bed-and-breakfast in Wellfleet, Massachusetts. When her mother's health declined, Alexandra became her full-time caregiver — an experience that became the caregiving blog "By B's Bedside" and, nearly two decades later, her home care memoir Seeing Joy: A Story of Life, Death, and What Comes Next (Koehler Books, March 2026).

Nicole Bernard Dawes spent much of her childhood hanging out in her dad's potato chip factory on Cape Cod. She liked his kettle-cooked chips a lot more than the flavorless snacks in her mom's health food store. But when she started her own business, she wanted the best of both worlds: a snack made with natural, organic ingredients…that still tasted good. Nicole launched Late July Snacks in 2003, when most consumers barely knew what “organic” meant. For years, sales limped along. Then, in a moment of crisis, she made a company-saving pivot by launching a brand new product – organic tortilla chips. Within just a few years, Late July grew to over $100M in sales, and Nicole decided to launch a new brand in an even more challenging category: soda.

My first-ever post (2012) meets 100 life-sized elephants on Commonwealth Ave. Episode 625. I still haven’t found the whole animal. Click here to view the verbatim transcript Summary I revisit my first-ever blog post, a 2012 story about two strangers in wheelchairs, each certain the other had it worse, as I ride my wheelchair through The Great Elephant Migration’s 100 life-sized sculptures on Boston’s Commonwealth Avenue. Fourteen years and 625 episodes later, the argument holds: best health isn’t fixed, and no one, not the patient, not the organization, not me, ever gets the whole animal. Episode Proem: Orientation On July 24, 2012, over 14 years ago, I published my first post, Best Health: Different Lens, Different Point of View. I wrote it while vacationing on Cape Cod with my family. My son-in-law, Eric Pinaud, helped me set up my website. The episode has stood the test of time. For those of you listening instead of watching (see the video in the show notes), I’m on my trike on Commonwealth Ave, threading through a hundred elephants. They’re not real. They’re not statues either, not exactly — they’re woven. Dried lantana root, an invasive weed, hand-carved by artisans in India’s Nilgiri Hills. Each one modeled after a real elephant those artisans know by name. Calves knee-high, matriarchs taller than my head, tusks close enough to touch. A mile of them, all facing the same direction, as if they’re walking somewhere together. I’m riding at wheelchair height, which means I see knees, trunks, and the undersides of ears before I see a whole animal. One elephant at a time. Never the herd. Episode #1 featured two people with recent disabilities approaching each other in wheelchairs in a rehab hallway. An eighteen-year-old with a gunshot wound, learning to steer with his mouth. A fifty-year-old stroke patient, learning to steer with one hand and a foot, with his wife behind him, dressed up and disgusted. The younger one muttered, “Glad I’m not him.” Neither of them was wrong about what they saw. Neither saw the whole thing. Best health isn’t one thing. Not for you, not for the person next to you, not for the organization billing you for services. Best health moves. It depends on which part of the elephant you’ve got your hand on. So today: the old post, the new elephants, and a hundred and sixty-nine months of me still not knowing the whole shape. This is episode #625. Yikes. 2012, Uncorrected: First Lens This first blog sets the stage. “Best health.” How will we recognize it? For individuals, could it be love, peace of mind, a cure, the ability to perform activities of daily living, or freedom from dis-ease? For organizations, could it be profitability, increased volume, high overall satisfaction, or a high Net Promoter score? Just like anything in the human condition, best health isn’t static. It’s constantly changing. At one point in my life, while working for a landscaping company, I had to complete the final hand raking of topsoil for a brand-new 2-acre rolling lawn. It took 20 hours. Through the lens of that solitary, monotonous gig, I learned that there is no up without a down. Every depression had a corresponding rise. Zen for the 20-year-old! Best implies less than best, always together. While in nursing school, I worked as a rehab aide. I was walking down the hall with an 18-year-old quadriplegic from a gunshot wound to the neck, learning to maneuver his wheelchair with his mouth. Coming the other way was a 50-year-old man suffering from a debilitating stroke, learning to propel his wheelchair with his left hand and foot. Behind the drooling, slouching, struggling man was his beautiful 20-something wife, dressed to the hilt, looking completely disgusted. Out of the corner of his mouth, my young patient muttered, “glad I’m not him.” It’s all relative. Different lens, different point of view. Attaining best health means figuring out the unique goal of the person or organization and working toward that goal collaboratively. I invite you to tell your story. Reflection: Still Best Health, Somehow Fourteen years ago, I used one cane, no forearm crutches, no wheelchair. I was between jobs after being laid off from Boston Children's Hospital. My oldest grandson was four, and my youngest was one. I was playing bari sax in Herb's Heard Big Band. I had just begun my relationship with PCORI. Today, I still have best health! Life is good.

Who are the Kennedys, really? And what has made the legacy of America's political dynasty so famous, divisive and enduring? The Kennedys are often described as the closest thing the United States has to a royal family, with fiercely competitive and divisive figures taking up space in American political and public life for generations.Even now, the influence of the Kennedy family continues to persist with RFK Junior, who is serving as the U.S. secretary of health and human services.There have been Kennedys who thrived with fame and power, and those who struggled greatly with that burden, with tragic consequences.The sunniest images of this famous family come from when they gathered at their rambling seaside compound in Cape Cod in the summers.One particular summer, in 1944, changed everything for the Kennedy clan, according to historian Leigh Straw, who is an internationally recognised expert on the Kennedy family and their legacy.It was the final year of World War Two—Jack, the future president, had become a war hero but his health was ailing; his brothers Bobby and Teddy were there, but their eldest brother Joe Junior was in England, preparing to embark on his final wartime mission. Their sister Rosemary was out of the picture altogether, hidden away from public and never spoken of.This was the year, Leigh says, when personal tragedies and public heroics began to shape the Kennedy legacy.The Kennedys at Cape Cod, 1944: The Summer That Changed Everything is published by Bloomsbury.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggiei Morris. Executive Producer is Nicola Harrison.It explores American politics, the United States, family dynasties, Trump, federal elections, JFK, John F Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy, RFK Jr, Covid, Rosemary Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, family trauma, mental health, intellectual disability, war, veterans, assassination, car crash, accidental death, grief, Hyannis Port, modern history, American history, who were the Kennedys, why are the Kennedys famous, Maria Shriver, nepotism, nepo babies, nepo baby, political elite, conspiracy theorists, vaccines, political scandals, Jacqui Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts. There you'll find hundreds of the best thought-provoking interviews with authors, writers, artists, politicians, psychologists, musicians, and celebrities.

Drop us a line or two . . .Queenie and TT are recording this week's episode from the actual Cape Cod shoreline — specifically Days Cottages in North Truro, Massachusetts, sitting across from each other with water views and, apparently, a front-row seat to a squid situation nobody saw coming. It's a vacation episode, which means the conversation is looser, warmer, and occasionally derailed by birds doing cute things out the window. The nature content is genuinely impressive. The day before recording, Queenie's granddaughters stumbled onto what can only be described as a squid bonanza — hundreds of them washed up on the beach, apparently so abundant that the girls collected enough to sell to a local fishing vessel, the CJ out of Provincetown, and made actual money. Meanwhile, TT and crew joined a ranger-led walk on the tidal flats near the site of the Pilgrims' first landing on North American soil — a detail that lands with some weight once you realize you're standing on it. The ranger produced a live horseshoe crab for the group, which prompted a surprisingly earnest digression: horseshoe crabs have been around for roughly 450 million years (they landed on "50 million" in the moment, but the vibe was correct), their blue blood is harvested for medical use, and females of reproductive age are off-limits for harvesting out of conservation concern. The one they found was young — "only a million or two years old," Queenie noted, with complete sincerity. A live squid about 18 inches long was also spotted squiding through shallow water before the ranger nudged it back out to sea. TT's son mentioned that squid are "candy to stripers," which apparently is common fishing knowledge that neither host had previously retained. The moon snail also got its moment: TT's son found a clamshell with a perfect tiny hole drilled through it, and the ranger explained that moon snails have a specialized body part that functions like a literal drill. They bore into other shells and suck out the contents. Nature, as TT observed, is amazing. Queenie agreed, and the two briefly marveled at how everything in the natural world fits together — hand and glove — before noting that humans have spent a great deal of energy segmenting and ranking that system, mostly to put themselves at the top of it. "We are not the top of the food chain," Queenie said, with the confidence of someone who has spent the week watching horseshoe crabs and moon snails conduct their business unbothered. TT recalled an Onion headline about a dolphin developing opposable thumbs, with the tagline "fuck says humanity," and that was basically that. The first landing marker also generated some reflection. There's a concrete engraving on the far side of the monument acknowledging the Wampanoag people — who thrived in the area long before Europeans arrived and were subsequently, as Queenie put it plainly, "summarily exterminated or shoved aside." TT noted the inscription called for remembrance so history isn't repeated. Both hosts appreciated the acknowledgment, even while noting that as a culture, "we don't acknowledge shit." The conversation extended to the harshness of the conditions that greeted those early arrivals — winter winds in Truro that routinely hit 50 miles an hour, bad enough that you can't open a car door. TT's sister is looking at a condo in the area, and a year-round resident supplied that cheerful detail during due diligence. Cannabis check-in: TT is running a performance gummy — caffeinated, with yerba mate, electrolytes, guarana, THC-V (filed under "vigor"), and CBG, full spectrum, fast-acting, solventless. It's designed for power, stamina, and endurance. The first time she took it, she napped. She is optimistic this will not happen again today, as there is a sailboat — the Envy the Bay — to launch. Queenie is on Off Hours Orange Aid, an awakening energy sour gummy, nano-enhanced, 10:2 THC to THC-V ratio, made in Rochester, New York. The tin is orange. She ate a whole one instead of the recommended half. They are both theoretically vimmed and vigored and ready to get that boat in the water. Wait, What? this week delivered "calf hair harassment" — a real and apparently escalating workplace issue in Japan, where the introduction of a climate-adaptive dress code (shorts for office workers, due to soaring heat) has led some women to formally object to the sight of men's leg hair, which they've characterized as visual harassment. A survey by a men's beauty salon found 53.5% of female respondents opposed men wearing shorts at work. The 2020 Goo web portal survey (yes, that's the name) ranked men's summer habits women disliked most, with visible nipples through shirts topping the list, followed by sweat stains, strong cologne, sandals with socks, prominent bellies, tank tops, and, of course, calf hair. The result: more Japanese men are pursuing laser hair removal not for personal preference but out of workplace propriety. Queenie and TT's verdict was pretty unified: calling leg hair harassment minimizes actual harassment, it's intolerant, and also, TT comes from an Italian family, so the whole premise was somewhat unworkable from the jump. TT's former boss did once institute a "no man toes" rule at the office — open-toed sandals for men were banned — but that turned out to be aimed at one specific attorney with sandals and hairy toes, which is a slightly different situation. The segment ended with a genuine question for listeners: would you find calf hair harassing in the workplace? The hosts have clearly already decided. TT's Choice landed on #14: one perfect high a week, or a mild pleasant buzz every day. TT initially went with the daily mild buzz, reasoning it would be nice to be mellowed out consistently. Then she reconsidered. The high hard one was not adequately accounted for in her initial answer. She may have been "a little too hasty." No final ruling was issued. The Fuck It List entry this week came from TT: she is officially adding "being responsible for everyone's happiness" back onto the list, having caught herself defaulting to full caretaker mode while hosting family at the cottage — making sure everyone was fed, happy, having fun, not thirsty. She knows better. She has said this on the podcast. She did it anyway. Queenie's take was compassionate and correct: TT has layered imprints on this place — as a child here with her own parents, as a mother bringing her kids here for years — and those grooves run deep. It doesn't mean she has to stay in them. The note that resonated: when we scramble to make everyone happy, we might actually be putting quiet pressure on them to perform happiness back at us. It's a fuck it directed inward. Her grown-ass men are fine. She knows this. Fuck it.

After literally years of trolling us, the weirdest presumed breeding bird on Cape Cod has finally given up the goods. The huge, unmistakable birds in question, known to nest prominently in the tallest tree around, have somehow hidden definitive evidence of actual nests with chicks in them since at least 2022.

Some classes that are no longer taught in school.Episode 258 brings the Gen-X nostalgia in time for going back to school.40 years ago this week, one of the seminal movies of 1980s kids' lives was released. Stand By Me was based on a Stephen King story and gave many kids of the time the desire to go hike the railroad tracks. We do a deep dive into the film, its importance, and the impact it had on kids at the time, like me.Also 40 years ago this week, one of the most popular and influential games for the original Nintendo was released. Metroid was heavily influenced by the film Alien but in turn also blazed a trail for future games. Perhaps the perfect game for Gen-X, it taught you to go explore and find your own way.

A tiny, weathered gravestone in Sandwich's Old Burial Ground may be the oldest on Cape Cod, but its inscription was deliberately chiseled away centuries ago. Gravestone historian Steve Broker explains the competing theories, from anti-Quaker sentiment to Puritan objections over sacred imagery.

Tonight's reading comes from The Outermost House: A Year of Life on the Great Beach of Cape Cod, published in 1928, written by Henry Beston, and it follows a year spent in a small cottage among the dunes of Cape Cod, quietly observing the ocean, shoreline, birds, changing weather, and the natural rhythms of life beside the sea.BORE YOU TO SLEEP – CALM BEDTIME STORIES FOR ADULTSCan't fall asleep?
