Three of our favorite scary stories from Halloween specials of our past.
For years, we've been told that vegan and vegetarian diets "require careful planning" to be healthy — while omnivorous diets get a free pass. But is that really true? In this episode of The Exam Room Podcast, host Chuck Carroll sits down with Dr. Matt Nagra to discuss his new peer-reviewed study published in the International Journal of Disease Reversal and Prevention: "Asymmetrical Dietary Guidance: Reassessing the 'Careful Planning' Caveat in Vegetarian and Vegan Diets." You'll also hear why some vegans experience a slightly higher fracture risk, what's really behind that finding, and how simple nutrition strategies can easily close the gap. In this conversation, you'll learn: What new research reveals about vegan, vegetarian, and omnivorous diets How omnivorous diets often miss critical nutrients for long-term health The role of vitamin B12, vitamin D, and calcium in plant-based nutrition Why all diets require thoughtful planning to meet nutrient needs The real reason vegans may have a higher fracture risk — and how to prevent it How language in nutrition guidelines may unintentionally stigmatize plant-based diets Listen and learn how balanced nutrition guidance can improve health outcomes for everyone — and why reframing the conversation around "careful planning" could change the future of public health.

Here's The Caveat... Intentional Leadership with Coach Bob Reish
Welcome to Here's the Caveat! — the podcast where fluff takes a back seat and real leadership steps up.You can't build consistency on convenience.Everyone wants success… until it gets uncomfortable. We love the idea of discipline until the alarm goes off at 5 a.m. We want results, but we also want our comfort.And here's the Caveat, you can't have both. Convenience might make you comfortable, but consistency makes you credible. One builds comfort. The other builds character.Only one creates leaders who last.Today, we're going to talk about what happens when convenience becomes your compass and how to get back to building the muscle that matters most: discipline. Great leaders aren't born consistent. They become consistent when they stop making excuses.Let's get started.
This week on Caveat, Dave and Ben welcome back N2K's own Ethan Cook for our latest policy deep dive segment.

Policy Deep Dive In this Caveat Policy Deep Dive, our conversation and analysis revolve around North Korean hacking. Throughout this conversation, we break down how North Korea has transformed itself into one of the largest nation-state hackers today. We dive into what types of attacks they perform, how they have evolved these attacks over time, and how they use their ill-gotten gains to support their economy and evade sanctions.

Welcome to Here's the Caveat, where wisdom meets action. I'm Bob Reish.Today, we're diving into one of the most overlooked skills in leadership, timing.Say the right thing too soon, and it's ignored.

Here's The Caveat... Intentional Leadership with Coach Bob Reish
Welcome back to Here's the Caveat, where we don't just talk leadership, we build it. I'm Bob Reish, your host and guide through the world where wisdom meets action.In today's episode, we're cutting straight to the core of one of the biggest challenges in leadership and life, entitlement versus discipline. One demands comfort; the other requires character. One says, “I deserve it,” while the other says, “I'll earn it.”Here's the Caveat... you can't live by both. Great leaders understand that discipline doesn't limit freedom, it creates it.So grab your notebook, because today we're talking about what separates those who expect results from those who produce them.
Shudder is blowing out the candles, and we're joining the party! In this special episode, we spotlight four standout Shudder originals that showcase the streaming service's unique approach to horror. We start with Blood Quantum (2020), Jeff Barnaby's bold and bloody take on the zombie genre with a sharp cultural edge. Then we unravel the eerie tension of Caveat (2020), a claustrophobic chamber piece that proves minimalism can be terrifying. Next up, we descend into Mad God (2021), Phil Tippett's decades-in-the-making stop-motion nightmare that's as mesmerizing as it is disturbing. Finally, we check out Grafted (2024), a body-horror gem that combines beauty expectations and mutation in unsettling ways. Together, these films highlight Shudder's range—from socially charged horror to experimental art to nerve-racking slow burns. Whether you're a longtime subscriber or just horror-curious, this birthday bash proves why Shudder has become the home of modern horror. We are joined by No Bodies!

Here's The Caveat... Intentional Leadership with Coach Bob Reish
Leadership isn't always about the position you apply for, the title on your door, or the plan you mapped out. Sometimes it finds you, ready or not. n this episode, we'll talk about the kind of leadership you didn't sign up for. The interruptions, the unexpected responsibilities, and the weight that shows up when life doesn't go according to your agenda.Here's the Caveat… leadership isn't about what you thought you'd be doing, it's about who you become when the unexpected hits. That's where real leaders are forged.

Here's The Caveat... Intentional Leadership with Coach Bob Reish
Everyone thinks they're different. Every company, every church, every leader claims, “We're the exception.” Here's the Caveat: if you have to say it, you're not. In this episode, we unpack why the need to announce your exception actually proves you're part of the status quo. With humor, punch, and no-fluff wisdom, discover why true leaders let results, not excuses, speak for them.
Things Discussed: Biff Poggi love: We don't often get honesty about what they did wrong. Let Underwood cook? Not sure if it's going to hold up because people revert to learned behaviors when stress gets high. It's easy against Central. We saw enough that Oklahoma should be a blip: the RPOs are real, the zone reads are real. QB run game: Forces defenses to make themselves easier to read, because they have to play 11-on-11 unless they can two-gap at the DT spots. Oklahoma and Nebraska are good at messing with a quarterback's reads, and Bryce wants to make them quickly. Take away their options and you give Bryce a true read. Nebraska's defense is all about generating confusion. Bryce running early on pass reads: good thing, do it. When he's hitting a DB he's the one causing punishment. Also nerfs pass rush: remember how Michigan played Sean Clifford in 2021 and teed off when Allar came on. Haynes: been good but frustrating—sometimes he's great in pass pro but he had another handful of purse-swinging. Guy got sick of blocking for his QB at Alabama? I'm sure part of the reason he came here in the first place is he was sick of being a lead blocker for Jalen Milroe. Defensively: Barham at the Jake Ryan job was eye-opening. If you can't roll out against a defense they can front the edge on stretch and the running game is dead too. Replacing Nichols snaps with Barham at edge also gets Rolder/Sullivan on the field. Favorite Barham play: he grabs the RB as he's forcing a give on zone read so he can go back to tackling that guy. Caveat: that's the worst running back we're going to play this season. QB run game vs Michigan: isn't any one thing, but biggest issue was Rolder not fitting it. He had an up and down game where he (3/6 first downs, maybe 4 were on him), while Sullivan found the guy to hit, but had a few looks at it first. If you're a senior you can't be ahead of that guy and be making mistakes. Nebraska preview: They played Cincy (no pass game) and two teams CMU would trounce. Their run D is permeable: defense plays very small, wants to confuse you, make your RB slow down to find his gaps and blocks, and rally from the secondary. You can really gash them. It's a bad matchup for Nebraska: Michigan's OL is good at ID'ing their blocks and wants to play heavy and hit you quickly in the run game and confuse coverage reads. The 2023 game was a blowout because if you have linemen who can ID their blocks you destroy the basis of their system. Would be a good game to have El-Hadi back; Efobi is probably going to have a rough outing.

Here's The Caveat... Intentional Leadership with Coach Bob Reish
Welcome to Here's the Caveat, the podcast where we cut through the fluff and get real about leadership, success, and life. Inal myth-buster when it comes to leadership clichés.Everywhere you turn, someone's preaching about “work-life balance” like it's the holy grail. But here's the caveat… balance is a lie. Balance suggests everything gets equal weight. That's not leadership, that's juggling until you drop something important.The truth? It's about priorities. Great leaders don't chase balance, they establish priorities. They understand that clarity comes not from trying to do it all, but from knowing what matters most and having the discipline to act on it.In this episode, we'll break down why balance will burn you out, how priorities will lift you up, and why leadership that lasts is never about managing time, it's about stewarding priorities.Grab your notebook, lean in, and let's dismantle the lie of balance and discover the power of priorities

Here's The Caveat... Intentional Leadership with Coach Bob Reish
Welcome back to Here's the Caveat, the podcast where leaders stop making excuses and start taking ownership. In today's episode, “Don't Plan Your Escape. Own Your Every Day,” we're calling out the countdown mindset. If you're constantly watching the calendar, waiting for the next three-day weekend or tropical getaway, you're not building a life, you're building an escape plan.Here's the Caveat: Vacation isn't the reward for misery. It's a reset, not a rescue. If your happiness is boxed into one week a year, something's broken.In this episode, we're going to talk about how real leaders stop living for Friday and start leading with purpose on Monday. Let's break the cycle and build a life we don't need a break from. Let's get started.
On this week's episode, Jeremy loses the key and his sanity in Caveat and Brandy Joe plays cat-and-mouse with a wheezy psycho in Experiment in Terror. Time Stamps: Caveat - 39:26 Experiment in Terror - 49:11 We'd love to hear from you! Send your terrorgrams to scaringissharing@gmail.com.

Here's The Caveat... Intentional Leadership with Coach Bob Reish
Welcome to Here's the Caveat, the podcast where leaders face the truth, even when it's staring back at them. In this episode, we're walking into the most honest boardroom you'll ever enter: your bathroom mirror. That's where the real accountability happens... no filters, no titles, no excuses. It's just you… and the reflection that knows whether you're really doing the work or just playing the part. Today, we're diving into why true leadership begins when you stop performing for others and start leading the person in the mirror. Let's get real. Let's get honest. Let's get to work.

Glenn discusses political commentator Candace Owens being sued by French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte, for defamation after Owens claimed on multiple occasions that Brigitte is actually a biological man. Glenn and Stu review the complaint and debate whether the Macrons have a case, while also examining their questionable relationship beginnings. The Coldplay infidelity incident revealed that the majority of the country still believes in the sanctity of marriage. If the Trump administration releases the Epstein files, will Americans even read them, or will they look for the names of the politicians they hate and make their own conclusions? Glenn outlines why the Obama Russiagate conspiracy should not be shrugged off as "old news." Multiple refineries in California are closing as the state scrambles to find a buyer. Will this worsen California's fuel crisis?

Welcome to Here's the Caveat, the podcast where leaders refuse to settle for average. In today's episode, “Your Paycheck Can't Fix your Purpose,” we're cutting through the entitlement mindset and exposing a hard truth: if you're waiting for your paycheck or your boss to make you happy, you're handing over the keys to your own fulfillment. Real leaders take responsibility for their mindset, their mission, and their joy... no HR memo required. Let's get into it.

Solomon has prayed. Will God respond?He does. Fire descends from heaven. This is followed by much celebration.But after it is all over, God appears yet again to Solomon and, on the one hand, asserts that he has accepted Solomon's prayer. On the other hand he warns that any promises are conditional. If the Torah and it slaws are not observed, then all the promises will be reneged. As we show, this is fundamentally the covenant of Sefer Devarim - of Deuteronomy.

Welcome back to Here's the Caveat. Today, we're diving into transformational thinking, not just thinking positive or setting goals, but rewiring the way you see yourself, your work, and your world so deeply that everything changes from the inside out. Because here's the caveat: real transformation doesn't start with a new plan; it starts with a new mindset that destroys old limitations and builds a foundation no setback can shake. Get ready to challenge how you think, because after today, your excuses won't stand a chance.
This week on Caveat, Dave and Ben welcome back N2K's own Ethan Cook for our latest policy deep dive segment. As our lead analyst, Ethan shares his knowledge of law, privacy, and surveillance on the latest policy developments shaping the cybersecurity and legal landscape. While this show covers legal topics, and Ben is a lawyer, the views expressed do not constitute legal advice. For official legal advice on any of the topics we cover, please contact your attorney. Complete our annual audience survey before August 31. Policy Deep Dive In this Caveat Policy Deep Dive, our conversation and analysis revolve around preemption. Recently, Congress attempted to use preemption as a justification to pass a moratorium that would have overridden all current state AI legislation and prevented any new state AI bills from being passed. While the measure failed, this action is representative of a growing debate over how the government should regulate AI. Get the weekly Caveat Briefing delivered to your inbox. Like what you heard?

While full rule changes are still in development, the guidance marks a shift in the agency's stance under Republican leadership and could significantly streamline the listing process for new crypto products.

Welcome back to another thought-provoking episode of Tank Talks! In this episode, Matt Cohen and John Ruffolo cut through the noise to unpack the latest economic headlines and policy shifts reshaping North America's business landscape. From Canada's surprise repeal of the Digital Services Tax to Brookfield's launch of an evergreen private equity fund, this episode dives deep into the forces driving change in trade, finance, and innovation.Will Canada's late-stage policy reversal strengthen its position in U.S. trade talks? Are evergreen funds the next big wave in private equity? And how will digital-only banks and stablecoins reshape the future of finance? Tune in for all that and more!Canada's Digital Services Tax Repealed at the 11th Hour (00:14)Just hours before the June 30th collection date, Canada repealed its controversial 3% digital services tax to clear the runway for renewed trade negotiations with the U.S. Matt and John unpack the political optics, the timing missteps, and why this repeal might've come too late to score real leverage in the upcoming Carney-Trump summit.Trade Tensions and a Pivot Away from U.S. Exports (02:50)With U.S. tariffs still biting Canadian industries like steel, aluminum, and autos, exports to non-U.S. markets jumped 5.7% in May. John analyzes the long-term risks and what a 10% tariff “compromise” could mean for Canadian trade policy moving forward.Brookfield's Evergreen Fund: Liquidity vs. Strategy (06:37)Brookfield's launch of a new evergreen private equity fund is raising eyebrows. These liquid investment vehicles are tailored for high-net-worth investors, but could they undermine Brookfield's traditional closed-end funds? Matt and John discuss the tradeoffs and potential disruption to institutional capital models.Stablecoins, Erebor & The Future of Banking (10:53)With the launch of Erebor, a new U.S. digital-only bank backed by Palmer Luckey, Peter Thiel, and Joe Lonsdale, the open banking revolution is heating up. But will Canada get left behind amid regulatory hesitations? The duo explores how stablecoins and crypto-native banks are reshaping the financial ecosystem.The “Big Beautiful Bill”: Trillions in U.S. Spending (13:56)At nearly 1,000 pages and $4.85 trillion, the latest U.S. tax and spending package is a behemoth. John calls out some of the more controversial provisions, like Section 899, a “revenge tax” aimed at foreign investors, and weighs in on what this means for the U.S. deficit and global investment climate.Figma Files to Go Public: A Product-Led Rocketship with a Caveat (16:49)Figma's S-1 filing reveals eye-popping growth: $750M in 2024 revenue, 91% gross margins, and 90% of the Fortune 500 on board. But one number raised eyebrows, its definition of net revenue retention. Is the 132% figure misleading? Matt and John dissect the metrics and what investors need to know.Anthropic & OpenAI's Revenue Explosion (19:39)AI darlings Anthropic and OpenAI are shattering expectations, with annualized revenues of $4B and $10B, respectively. What's fueling this growth, and is it sustainable? Matt and John assess the trajectory and strategic implications for the broader AI race.Meta's Talent War: $300M Signing Bonuses & AI Domination (20:30)Meta's aggressive push into AI includes poaching top OpenAI talent with eye-watering offers reportedly reaching $300M. Is this visionary investing, or panic-mode recruiting? The conversation digs into the implications of Meta's superintelligence ambitions and the high-stakes battle for AI supremacy.Microsoft Layoffs: AI Efficiency or Budget Strategy? (22:52)With Microsoft cutting 9,000 jobs, questions swirl around whether AI-driven efficiencies or strategic capital reallocation are the real drivers. John shares his take on what this means for enterprise software, consulting firms, and the future of knowledge work.As the tides of global economics, innovation, and technology continue to shift, Tank Talks is your front-row seat to the big moves shaping our world.

Doctor and special correspondent, Avir Mitra takes Lulu on an epic journey live on stage at a little basement club called Caveat, here in New York. Starting with an ingredient in breastmilk that babies can't digest, a global hunt that takes us from Bangladesh to the Mennonite communities here in the US, we discover an ancient symbiotic relationship that might be on the verge of disappearing. So sip a vicarious cocktail, settle in, and explore the surprising ways our bodies forge deep, invisible connections that shape our lives.This live show is part of a series we are doing with Avir that we are calling “Viscera.” Each event is conversation that takes the audience on journey into a quirk or question or mystery inside of us, and gives them a visceral experience with the viscera of us.
