Tasha wraps up with where fans can find her across all platforms, hints at her upcoming second tour leg, and leaves listeners with one final reminder, healthy love is boring, and that is everything.

Some mornings you wake up expecting inspiring stories about aviation excellence. Other mornings you discover that someone else got the Blue Angels ride you've been dreaming about and spend the next hour processing your emotions on the radio. Welcome to Episode 135.The gang kicks things off with Moon's hilarious reaction to learning a local teacher got the once-in-a-lifetime Blue Angels experience. Is he jealous? Not officially. Does he spend an impressive amount of time talking about it? Absolutely. As the crew breaks down the story, they somehow end up discussing social media influencers, science teachers, childhood dreams, and the emotional support system required to survive a week without Moon in the studio.Then things take a sharp turn into one of the great modern debates: do electric bikes actually count as riding bikes? The crew dives into new enforcement efforts targeting certain high-powered e-bikes and electric dirt bikes around the St. Louis area. What starts as a conversation about public safety quickly becomes a nostalgic trip through mini bikes, neighborhood troublemakers, and the legendary Harold Mansfield—a man whose life story somehow includes cigarettes, football pads, and enough old-man energy to power an entire town.Meanwhile, Rafe continues his personal war against dairy after being forced off cheese. Unfortunately for him, this episode lands directly on National Cheese Day. The result is a nearly impossible challenge as the crew debates America's favorite cheeses, reminisces about government cheese, argues about Parmesan, and watches Rafe slowly spiral into what can only be described as a cheese-related existential crisis.The food news doesn't stop there. The team puts on their completely unqualified legal hats to discuss a lawsuit involving a woman who slipped on mashed potatoes at an Outback Steakhouse and is seeking serious damages. Could mashed potatoes really change someone's life forever? The crew investigates the case with all the professionalism you'd expect from people who spent ten minutes ranking cheese.You'll also hear discussions about Cheesecake Factory's return to West County, dangerous summer bacteria lurking in the water, lake season traditions, childhood adventures, weird news, celebrity-level aviation envy, and the everyday chaos that somehow becomes a radio show.If you enjoy ridiculous conversations, St. Louis stories, hilarious fails, weird news, food debates, and friends arguing about things that absolutely do not matter, this episode has everything you need.Whether you're listening at work, in traffic, at the gym, or while carefully avoiding suspicious mashed potatoes, thanks for making The Rizzuto Show part of your day.This daily comedy show delivers another round of bizarre headlines, questionable expertise, and the kind of conversations that only happen when Rizz and the gang are left unsupervised.

We start things off learning who took Moon's Blue Angel seat. Does he spend an impressive amount of time talking about it? Absolutely. As the crew breaks down the story, they somehow end up discussing social media influencers, science teachers, childhood dreams, and the emotional support system required to survive a week without Moon in the studio.Do electric bikes actually count as riding bikes? The crew dives into new enforcement efforts targeting certain high-powered e-bikes and electric dirt bikes around the St. Louis area. What starts as a conversation about public safety quickly becomes a nostalgic trip through mini bikes, neighborhood troublemakers, and the legendary Harold Mansfield—a man whose life story somehow includes cigarettes, football pads, and enough old-man energy to power an entire town.Unfortunately for Rafe, this episode lands directly on National Cheese Day. The result is a nearly impossible challenge as the crew debates America's favorite cheeses, reminisces about government cheese, argues about Parmesan, and watches Rafe slowly spiral into what can only be described as a cheese-related existential crisis.The food news doesn't stop there. The team puts on their completely unqualified legal hats to discuss a lawsuit involving a woman who slipped on mashed potatoes at an Outback Steakhouse and is seeking serious damages. Could mashed potatoes really change someone's life forever? The crew investigates the case with all the professionalism you'd expect from people who spent ten minutes ranking cheese.You'll also hear discussions about Cheesecake Factory's return to West County, dangerous summer bacteria lurking in the water, lake season traditions, childhood adventures, weird news, celebrity-level aviation envy, and the everyday chaos that somehow becomes a radio show.The apocalypse is trending again, which means naturally The Rizzuto Show spent way too much time discussing celebrity bunkers, survival plans, and exactly how many canned goods Moon would trade for a VIP pass into Post Malone's luxury doomsday compound.Meanwhile, we uncover one of Hollywood's greatest mysteries: Why does Matt Damon constantly need rescuing? From Saving Private Ryan to The Martian to Interstellar, movie studios have spent hundreds of millions of dollars bringing Matt Damon back home. At this point, it may be more cost effective to simply stop letting him wander off.The gang also gets sidetracked debating Father's Day, celebrity prepper culture, militia-friendly states, and whether Moon can somehow charm his way onto someone's apocalypse guest list before society collapses. Spoiler alert: he's already working on it.A Houston 911 dispatcher who admitted she hung up on thousands of emergency callers because she simply "didn't want to talk to anyone." The gang dives into the unbelievable details, the real-life consequences, and the even more unbelievable punishment she received. It's one of those stories that leaves everyone asking the same question: "Wait... that's it?"The crew gets into a surprisingly honest conversation about grief after a listener asks whether using dark humor to cope with losing a parent is normal. What follows is a heartfelt, hilarious, and occasionally concerning discussion featuring dead-dad jokes, funeral stories, family reactions, and proof that sometimes laughter is the only thing keeping the wheels attached. Somehow, this emotional conversation also leads to a search party for a missing Jeff Burton cardboard cutout. Because of course it does.And just when you think things can't get any weirder, the conversation shifts to a life-changing offer: one million dollars tax-free—but your legal name becomes "Shart" forever. No nicknames. No take-backs. Just Shart. The arguments that follow may be some of the strongest legal and financial analysis ever performed by a group of radio professionals who absolutely should not be giving financial advice.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Ellisville PD cracking down on e-bike useCheesecake Factory seeks new location at West County MallWoman sues Outback Steakhouse for $1.5M after allegedly slipping on mashed potatoesFive Florida cases of 'flesh-eating bacteria' reported as 'hot beach season' beginsBank teller charged with sharing customer data in $28K identity theft schemeFormer SC detective accused of pointing gun at officer over microwaved fishInside Post Malone's $3.1 million doomsday bunker with basketball court and wine cellarCrenshanda Williams v.

If you're a multiple prep teacher, you know the pain: flipping between piles of lesson plans, juggling more courses than most planning systems were ever built for, and hearing the same tired advice in every workshop—“switch things up so students don't get bored.” In this episode of The Secondary Teacher Podcast, host Khristen Massic breaks down exactly why endlessly chasing variety in your lesson structures is burning teachers out, not saving classrooms from boredom. If you've ever found yourself agonizing over whether your routine is too repetitive, or wound up with decision fatigue from reinventing the wheel daily, this conversation is for you.The primary keyword phrase, “sustainable teacher planning for multiple courses,” comes up right away, because that's what this whole discussion is about. Khristen pulls back the curtain on a common mistake that plagues secondary classrooms: believing the myth that every lesson needs a dazzling new twist to keep students engaged. Instead, what most teachers really need is permission to build classroom routines that repeat on purpose—saving their energy for crafting strong content, not endlessly shuffling formats or activities.Remember those dry slide decks from your early days? Khristen shares a candid look at hers—different every time, changed up just for the sake of switching things. The result? Still boring. Turns out, the problem isn't the structure being too predictable, but the content inside it lacking punch. When teachers scramble to fix engagement by endlessly tweaking lesson formats, students lose more than just clarity—they lose confidence, because every class feels like starting from scratch.The better way lies in intentional, repeatable routines. Khristen highlights standout examples from sixth-grade teams, where the best classrooms weren't the ones packed with novelty, but the ones where routines made student energy go into learning, not guessing what's next. With sustainable teacher planning for multiple courses as her north star, she argues that what really matters in a secondary classroom is not endless to-do lists of lesson ideas but tight routines, good content, and freeing up your bandwidth for what counts.If you're tired of feeling like you're running your classroom like the Cheesecake Factory—juggling an infinite menu of activities until your brain freezes—there's a better model. Think the cozy cafe with a seasonal rotating menu: just a few carefully chosen routines, repeated without apology, letting you focus on what really fuels student curiosity and independent learning.This approach isn't about lowering your standards or becoming boring; it's about work life balance and reclaiming your sanity. When your structures stay the same, planning for multiple classroom preps becomes lighter, faster, and—dare we say it—less overwhelming. No more asking which routines are best or wasting summer break wandering in a maze of resources. Instead, you build a starting point, refine as you go, and finally break the cycle of reinventing everything every day.For middle and high school teachers, especially those in singleton departments or who keep being handed standards without curriculum, this episode is a blueprint for surviving and thriving. Khristen calls out the reality: teachers have been given advice designed for a different world, not the one where you're curating every course from scratch. Sustainable systems aren't just some extra on your plate—they're the way to finally get your time back and make the secondary classroom work for you.So if you've been fighting the guilt of repeating lesson routines or told to “switch it up” until you're dizzy, here's the new rule: you do not need a different lesson for every class, every single day. You just need a solid starting ritual, a repeatable structure, and the guts to trust it across your prep load. That's how you get more confident, more effective, and—frankly—a hell of a lot happier at work.Break the rules, trust your structure, and make next year lighter—because teaching wasn't meant to feel like a never-ending menu. Start with less, do it better, and own your classroom. That's how rebels build thriving schools.Too many preps and not enough time? Let's make your planning period actually work for you.Reserve your spot in the Unit Planning Lab here: https://khristenmassic.thrivecart.com/unit/?ref=podcastPlanning for the next school year?

In this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Ralph Molina, Founder and Editor of the High Conviction Investing newsletter on Substack, to dig into his framework for owning stocks the way a private business owner would - and why he thinks most investors never truly test their own conviction. We break down his Emergency Board Meeting Test, how his time on the inside at Parks! America and Armanino Foods reshaped the way he evaluates management, why he filters for capital allocation before anything else, and what finally changed his mind about which microcap companies are actually worth owning. We mention several companies and sectors during this conversation, and I am not a shareholder in any of them.

Love at Work: Aligning Leadership, Purposeful Growth, and the Brand from the Inside Out In this BrandsTalk episode, I got to interview Mark A. Mears—bestselling author, keynote speaker, and former C-level executive who led growth at brands including PepsiCo, McDonald's, NBC Universal, and The Cheesecake Factory—about his shift from traditional growth to purposeful, human-centered leadership and his second bestseller focused on bringing love back into the workplace. Mark explains his LOVE model as an acronym for Listen, Observe, Value, and Empower, linking it to low global engagement trends cited by Gallup and the need to transform command-and-control management into relational leadership that builds belonging. He outlines four interconnected “brands” (personal, internal, external, employer) and argues misalignment undermines experience and trust. The conversation emphasizes building legacy, using feedback and humility, and making a business case for purpose-driven leadership through research and case examples.Get in touch with Mark A.

Pack Daddy is back and the phone lines are wide open — and Uncle Rico shows up three times to absolutely destroy everyone's brain. Tonight's After Dark goes deep on whether the consensus big board is actually worth anything, why AI and robotics might end employment as we know it, and what happens when the economy runs out of humans to pay. It's the philosophical crisis you didn't know you needed on a Monday night. Uncle Rico goes on a trilogy run — questioning the value of consensus big boards, attempting to unpack the UBI/robotics economy loop (and nearly succeeding), and wondering aloud why Chase Claypool chose the Packers over literally anyone else The Gannon media blackout gets discussed — why he's reportedly been kept quiet, and the tension between wanting insider access and what's actually best for the team Batman drops a hot take that Pack Daddy agrees with on tomorrow's podcast: GuteKunst has quietly had a masterclass offseason and the fanbase just refuses to give him credit because it wasn't flashy Nico from Idaho checks in with Idaho potato air fryer content, the Mr. Unlimited saga, and a passionate defense of words the internet has tried to retire Garrett pitches a Mother's Day song, Cheesecake Factory becomes the unanimous answer to all gift-giving, and the Patreon salary cap spreadsheet finally goes live Subscribe, rate, and review — and if you want the spreadsheet, you know where to find it. #PackernetAfterDark #GreenBayPackers #NFLDraft #PackDaddy #PackerNation #AI #Robotics #UBI #GuteKunst #AfterDark #NFL #Packers2025 This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

It's the philosophical crisis you didn't know you needed on a Monday night. Uncle Rico goes on a trilogy run — questioning the value of consensus big boards, attempting to unpack the UBI/robotics economy loop (and nearly succeeding), and wondering aloud why Chase Claypool chose the Packers over literally anyone else The Gannon media blackout gets discussed — why he's reportedly been kept quiet, and the tension between wanting insider access and what's actually best for the team Batman drops a hot take that Pack Daddy agrees with on tomorrow's podcast: GuteKunst has quietly had a masterclass offseason and the fanbase just refuses to give him credit because it wasn't flashy Nico from Idaho checks in with Idaho potato air fryer content, the Mr. Unlimited saga, and a passionate defense of words the internet has tried to retire Garrett pitches a Mother's Day song, Cheesecake Factory becomes the unanimous answer to all gift-giving, and the Patreon salary cap spreadsheet finally goes live Subscribe, rate, and review — and if you want the spreadsheet, you know where to find it. #PackernetAfterDark #GreenBayPackers #NFLDraft #PackDaddy #PackerNation #AI #Robotics #UBI #GuteKunst #AfterDark #NFL #Packers2025 This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Most private equity firms claim to use a leather-bound "value creation" bible nobody's allowed to touch. The truth? It's more of a Cheesecake Factory menu. In this episode, Paul and Jim break down what operating partners actually do once the deal closes — the three buckets that matter (revenue, cost, risk), why many software companies leave revenue on the table with their existing customers, and what "don't buy a company you can't sell" looks like in practice.

In this latest episode of Executive Function, Brett sits down with Christopher Payne, who spent a decade as President and COO at DoorDash, helping scale the company from roughly 70 employees to the dominant food delivery platform in the US. Before DoorDash, Christopher held senior operating roles at Amazon and eBay, where he led a sweeping overhaul of marketplace search. In this conversation, he unpacks what it actually takes to run an atoms-based business versus a software company, shares his "plate spinning" framework for allocating executive attention across a complex org, and makes the case for top-down goal setting over the bottom-up alternative. In today's episode, we discuss: How prior industry experience can be a liability when you're trying to reinvent the market How executives can practically focus their attention to stay close to product details What charisma actually looks like in executives—and why it's a staple trait to have The business case for setting ambitious goals top-down, not bottom-up References: Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/ Anthropic: https://www.anthropic.com/ Cheesecake Factory: https://www.thecheesecakefactory.com/ Cursor: https://cursor.com/ Dartmouth College: https://home.dartmouth.edu/ David Risher: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jdavidrisher DoorDash: https://www.doordash.com/ eBay: https://www.ebay.com/ Granola: https://www.granola.ai/ Hulu: https://www.hulu.com/ Jason Kilar: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasonkilar Jeff Bezos: https://x.com/JeffBezos Lyft: https://www.lyft.com/ Microsoft: https://www.microsoft.com/ Tinder: https://tinder.com/ Tony Xu: https://www.linkedin.com/in/xutony Travis Kalanick: https://www.linkedin.com/in/traviskalanick Uber: https://www.uber.com/ University of Oregon: https://www.uoregon.edu/ Wharton School: https://www.wharton.upenn.edu/ Where to find Christopher Payne: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christopherpayne Twitter/X: https://x.com/chrispa Where to find Brett: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brett-berson-9986094/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/brettberson Where to find First Round Capital: Website: https://firstround.com/ First Round Review: https://review.firstround.com/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/firstround YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FirstRoundCapital This podcast on all platforms: https://review.firstround.com/podcast Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction 00:14 Why atoms businesses challenge bits executives 02:35 Hiring executives with a builder mentality 06:52 Great executives never outgrow the details 08:05 How ciabatta bread revealed a core DoorDash issue 10:48 How executives can scale their own impact 14:22 One-size-fits-all management is a myth 19:01 Enduring business lessons from Jeff Bezos 20:56 “I was fired from Tinder after six months” 25:38 Why specializing too early is a leadership trap 27:41 Are competitive cultures essential for success? 31:00 Lessons from Amazon's hypergrowth 35:20 Why having industry experience can be a liability 38:46 Companies spend too much time on job interviews 40:19 The skills executives need for hypergrowth 43:34 Why AI will likely flatten organizations 45:20 Teaching COO 101: What it takes to be world-class 50:55 Why bottom-up goal setting kills ambition 55:29 How charismatic leaders help teams in tough times 58:23 The number-one sign of high-functioning executive teams 1:02:02 How first-time COOs can increase their chance of success

In this episode I teach you the proper way to read magazines, and yes there is a proper way. We discuss the new Lamar Odom documentary and let's just say, Khloe deserves anything she wants. Speaking of Khloe, her brand Khloud now has chips AND a birthday cake flavored popcorn. Taylor Swift is being sued yet again, this time over 1 word. Zendaya and Robert Pattinson have a new movie out and it has the internet divided. Hailee Steinfeld and Josh Allen have welcomed a baby girl into the world, and that baby already has a net worth higher than mine. My favorite place in the world (the Cheesecake Factory) has been opening new restaurants with similar vibes but smaller portion sizes. Kylie Jenner has added electrolytes to her Sprinter brand. Now you can get wasted on the vodka and then hydrate with K2O. Probably one of the most iconic covers of Vogue is coming out in May and has the Meryl Streep AND Anna Wintour posing together. And lastly, Pamela Anderson has partnered with a furniture company that will sell outdoor furniture.Thanks for watching!-Kacey

Hi! We're fresh off Spring Break over here. I'm sitting down solo to recap the whole trip with the family - all the pretty places we went, the hours we drove, and the sweet nostalgia of The Cheesecake Factory. I'm feeling relieved to be home and sink back into a routine, and this is a good ol' honest check-in about where I'm at. Everything feels messy in the way that life does when you return from a long trip, so I'm talking myself through living with mental and physical clutter, starting vs. finishing, and why trying to "reset everything" never really works for me. Instead, I'm trying to focus on letting simpler, smaller things land. Nothing groundbreaking, just a real in-the-moment check-in if you've been feeling a little scattered too.

It's another chaotic daily comedy show, and this one comes fully loaded with birthday flexes, emotional dog countdowns, and a surprisingly intense debate about… rocking chairs. Yeah, we're aging gracefully over here.Lern had herself a full-blown birthday weekend featuring fancy dinners, surprise gifts, and a husband who absolutely understood the assignment. We're talking custom rocking chairs, sentimental music memorabilia, and enough thoughtful gestures to make the rest of us look like we grabbed a last-minute gas station card. Meanwhile, King Scott is juggling an anniversary, a pregnant wife, and a dog birthday like it's the most normal thing in the world (it's not).Then things take a turn into “why are we like this?” territory when Rafe starts tracking his dog's potential world record lifespan like it's the Super Bowl of senior pets. There's real tension. There's math. There's mild emotional instability. And yes, we absolutely discuss whether Guinness needs paperwork or just vibes.Also in this daily comedy show, Moon breaks down one of the weirdest dining experiences ever involving a tiny projected chef cooking your meal on the table like some kind of bougie fever dream. Add in champagne science (turns out there are about a million bubbles in a glass—because of course we needed to know that), and you've got yourself a fully unhinged mix of food, feelings, and nonsense.If you came for relatable life moments, you'll stay for the sarcasm, the dog drama, and the realization that we're all just one rocking chair away from yelling at clouds. Another perfectly ridiculous daily comedy show in the books.This comedy podcast dives headfirst into one of the most heated debates of all time: 90s movies… and why your favorite is probably losing. March Movie Madness is in full swing, and the results are already causing emotional damage across the studio. “Tommy Boy” beating “Dumb and Dumber”? Chaos. “Mrs. Doubtfire” taking down “The Big Lebowski”? Society may never recover.The crew breaks down the psychology behind these matchups—nostalgia, childhood trauma (the fun kind), and the undeniable fact that being dead apparently boosts your box office legacy. It's science. Probably.But this comedy podcast doesn't stop at movie arguments. Oh no. We also get into celebrity holograms—because nothing says “honoring a legacy” like digitally resurrecting legends for a Fourth of July performance. Totally normal. Totally not weird at all. And somehow, it makes sense for about five seconds before we all collectively question reality.On top of that, we've got celebrity chaos, legal drama, and a Tiger Woods situation that proves once again that being incredibly talented does not mean making great life choices. Sprinkle in some music talk, pop culture nonsense, and historical throwbacks, and you've got a full buffet of ridiculousness.If you like your pop culture served with sarcasm, mild outrage, and zero resolution, this comedy podcast is exactly what your brain ordered.This funny podcast starts with a wholesome moment—King Scott is having a baby. Aww. Beautiful. Life-changing. And immediately ruined by everyone else having opinions.Because apparently, choosing a baby name isn't just between two parents anymore—it's a full-blown family war. Grandparents want throwbacks, parents want trendy, and the internet wants chaos. And yes, people are absolutely using AI to generate baby names now, which feels like a bold strategy when Grandma is already ready to fight you in the group chat.The crew dives into the absolute madness of baby naming culture, including the cardinal sin: telling people your name ideas before the baby is born. Rookie mistake. That's how you end up in a verbal cage match with relatives who suddenly think they're on a judging panel for “America's Next Top Baby Name.”This funny podcast also delivers some all-time legendary real names—from “Justin Case” to “Ima Roach”—proving that sometimes the real problem isn't creativity… it's not thinking things through. Add in stories about almost-names, regrettable names, and names that probably should've stayed in someone's brain, and you've got pure gold.And just when you think it can't get weirder, we take a detour into chaotic gender reveals (including one at a Cheesecake Factory that absolutely did not go well), proving once again that humans cannot be trusted with balloons or public spaces.If you've ever named a kid, been named, or just survived a family group chat, this funny podcast will feel way too real—and way too funny.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.The U.S. Is Quietly Changing Your Gas Quality to Help with Costs—Here's the Trade-OffThe Feds Plan To Start Diluting Gasoline This May: ExplainedFull Moon April 2026: Exactly When To See The ‘Pink Moon' RiseThe Brain-Boosting Activity Doctors Wish More People DidCouple Host Gender Reveal At Cheesecake Factory.

Is your sign shop acting as an authority, or just another vendor? In this episode, Aaron sits down with Mike Davis of Hilltop Signs and Graphics to discuss the "Cheesecake Factory" trap of offering too many products and how a 3-day deep dive changed the trajectory of his business. They dive into the "Liquid Gold" of customer data, the necessity of wholesaler relationships, and the brutal reality of surviving the 2008 and 2020 crises. Whether you're a second-generation owner or just starting out, Mike's "7-day plan" for survival is a masterclass in discipline.

Gary and Selena open without a formal introduction and immediately spiral into a chaotic night out that turns into a full breakdown of modern restaurant culture. After trying multiple spots in East Mesa, they land at Cheesecake Factory, where a “15 minute wait” turns into nearly an hour of sitting behind a wobbly table hidden behind a pillar. The décor feels like Las Vegas meets Egyptian casino energy, the food is solid, but the final bill crosses $150 and sparks a full post dinner value debate about appetizers, alcohol, cheesecake slices, and whether peak dinner hours are ever worth it. From there the conversation jumps into Britney Spears news, viral interviews, and a deep dive into dinosaurs after watching a Morgan Freeman documentary.Gary questions how we confidently name ancient continents like Laurasia and Gondwana, how fossil timelines are determined, and whether global warming cycles are just part of the planet's long term hot and cold shifts. That opens the door to bigger questions about history, moon landing skepticism, redacted government files, alien disclosure rumors, and the growing feeling that no one fully trusts official narratives anymore. They also talk reality television nostalgia, from early Road Rules and The Real World to Survivor prize money and modern competition shows that prioritize elimination over experience.Selena breaks down Bridgerton Season 3 frustrations, the rushed ending, the masked identity reveal, and how weeks of tension wrapped up in minutes. Back at home, Gary's new obsession with succulents turns their porch into a full outdoor garden project with eleven planters, hanging plants, an aloe crisis, and multiple nursery visits. They debate recording episodes outside, talk about a father in Arkansas who killed his daughter's alleged abductor and then ran for sheriff, and argue whether defending your child justifies crossing legal lines. The episode ends with cat chaos, sleep deprivation, robot army fears, Chinese military stage performances, and the idea that future wars may be fought by machines instead of people.

Interior of a new (preowned) Chevy Spark during heavy rain and wind. With a composite of nautical weather forecasts, engine tone, and drifty notes. And I don't have much else… Oh yo, if I had a time machine I would go back to 1989 and ask Debbie Gibson out for dinner somewhere; an extremely professional dinner… I'm married (although technically, if I went back to 1989, I would be in a space before I was married, technically). And I would be kind of famous myself as Mr. Time Traveller. But yeah, married, and no chace anything other than a meeting with an '80s pop icon (I could tell her who shot JR).Regardless… When was the Cheesecake Factory founded? I could've been like, “Don't worry, I know a good spot, Ms. Gibson. The original ****** Cheesecake Factory. It's huge where I come from in 2026. There's an everyday brunch menu. Every day.”Also, the future isn't “Electric Youth”; the future is unfortunately an abundance of war crimes. But… try the Chocolate Tuxedo Cream Cheesecake—it's amazing and probably 7000 calories."Out of the Blue is your magnum opus" I would say, "it's not the flashiness of Electric Youth." And my hands would be gesticulating wildly because I would be ****** nervous. "Every Out of the Blue song would win the six-man award if they could play elite basketball and were in the NBA. Excellent songs, without the max contracts—" actually let's cut this short as it's getting weird.Instead, let's just focus on the Cheesecake Factory, my near-ish location has weird fused glass plates affixed to towering wooden beams that split the booth tables. And the glass looks like the Eye of Sauron. So you walk in and there are like fifty Eyes of Sauron staring at you. And you pass throngs of people to exchange your name with the wait staff for a brick-sized pager coated in ancient soda syrup grime. And while you wait the forty-five minutes for a table, you take in the decor—this ancient pastiche of columns fused with cherub faces and flamingos. It's as if the designer was tasked with imagining what an Applebee's might look like on the island of Dr. Moreau.Speaking of waking nightmares... the present—and look, I won't tell you where to get your news, but if a pillow or military subcontractor or pharmaceutical commercial runs between programming, skip that garbage. Listen to the rain... the rain won't lie to you.

And increases the economic power of vocationally trained, working-class, often male, working-class voters,” Karp said in a CNBC interview Thursday. “And so these disruptions are gonna disrupt every aspect of our society. And to make this work, we have to come to an agreement of what it is we're going to do with the technology; how are we gonna explain to people who are likely gonna have less good, and less interesting jobs.”To Alexandra Schiff, ex WSJ reporter and daughter of Tom Wolfe, who wrote a semi adoring Silicon Valley book in 2017 holding Peter Thiel as a god (and now sits on this board with Thiel), and to Lauren Friedman Stat, who only seems to post Palantir sizzle reels and as best I can tell is married to a “David Stat” who is the name of a “Director” (not on the board?) of Palantir who is in a Form 4 for selling stock:What the fuck are you doing.

Together they unpack what it really takes to scale a beauty brand through high-stakes moments - ERP overhauls, warehouse moves, tariff chaos, and rapid retail expansion.Katherine shares how a career that started in public accounting evolved into operational leadership at a fast-growing startup, guided by a simple rule: say yes to opportunities and figure it out along the way. Jeffrey reflects on his unconventional path from corporate attorney to entrepreneur, and why great founders succeed by building strong processes and empowering people with deeper expertise than their own.The episode also goes inside DIBS' retail mindset.

Katherine shares what she has learned in the field too, including a new respect for the retail ecosystem and the reality that “it's not in the back” is usually true. Their shared takeaway: retail success is built by the teams who show up, take notes, and stay close to the customer.And yes, there are fun surprises too, including Jeffrey's Miss Universe coaching background and his belief that posture is the ultimate confidence signal. The episode closes with a game built for this duo: Ulta locations across the country paired with activities, plus a Cheesecake Factory order that is nothing short of legendary.

If you've ever written on your pricing page “60 images, two outfits, 90 minutes” and hoped that would justify the $2,500 brand session… this episode is for you, my friend.Inside Rebrand, the first thing we look at with new students is their pricing. Because we can't fix your marketing and sales if your positioning is off. And pricing is one of the very first ways people decide how to categorize you.And what I see over and over again is sales pages that read like a Cheesecake Factory menu. So in this episode, I'm breaking down the difference between features and value, and why features don't close four-figure sales.We're talking:The difference between cost-based pricing and value-based pricingWhy listing session length and image count isn't the same as communicating valueHow to turn features (like “3-hour session” or “60 images”) into benefits that actually sellThe biggest pricing positioning mistake brand photographers makeA quick diagnostic exercise to see if you're selling features instead of transformationWhy raising your prices has more to do with clarity than adding more deliverablesLinks & Resources✨ Join Rebrand: If you want clients who don't flinch at your pricing and who see your work as an investment, not a commodity, that's exactly what we work of inside my group coaching program.

In this episode of Parenting Is a Joke, Ophira Eisenberg sits down with longtime friend and comedian Jon Fisch to talk about becoming the parent he always knew he wanted to be—just not in the order he expected—starting with the moment he learned his girlfriend was pregnant while sitting across from his mother at a Cheesecake Factory in the Natick Mall. They trade stories about raising young kids during COVID, from how lockdown accidentally turned Jon's son into an early, voracious reader thanks to curbside bookstore recommendations, to navigating a preemie birth amid constantly shifting hospital rules that changed by the nursing shift. The conversation drifts easily between creative life and parenting logic, including Jon's observation that stand-up used to provide “purpose” at night until kids rewired the entire day, and how slowing down during the pandemic made comedy feel more enjoyable again. The heart of the episode lands on a darkly funny family legend involving his niece's beloved owl lovey—one of many identical backups—which Jon confirms his brother once decapitated in a moment of exhausted bedtime brinkmanship, a parenting move so extreme it later came full circle when that same niece gifted her remaining owls to Jon's newborn daughter.

"Oh, his name is 'Tay Law' now?!"
