A yawn spreads quickly. You see someone yawn, you think about yawning, or you even read the word “yawn”—and suddenly you're doing it too. This episode begins by looking at why yawning is so contagious, what theories actually hold up, and what science still can't explain. https://www.livescience.com/human-behavior/why-is-yawning-contagious A Christmas tree seems like such a natural part of the holiday season, but the tradition behind it is rich, surprising, and deeply woven into American history. Why an evergreen? Where did the practice originate? How do they select the giant tree for Rockefeller Center every year? Here to explain the story and the symbolism behind the Christmas tree is Trent Preszler, professor of Applied Economics and Management at Cornell University and author of the book Evergreen: The Trees That Shaped America. (https://amzn.to/43NUVSj). Dining out today is nothing like it was just a few years ago. Prices are higher, tipping culture has shifted, customer expectations are changing, and restaurants face tighter margins than ever. Adam Reiner joins me with a behind-the-scenes look at what's really happening in the industry and offers practical advice for getting the best experience when you eat out. Adam is a food writer whose work has appeared in Bon Appétit, Food & Wine, and New York Magazine, and he's author of The New Rules of Dining Out (https://amzn.to/3Xhg0kf). You would think eating food should satisfy you—yet some foods do the opposite. Highly processed foods digest so quickly and trigger such different responses in your body that they can actually leave you hungrier. I explain what the science shows and why these foods can lead to overeating. https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/eating-highly-processed-foods-linked-weight-gain PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!

The First Christmas Tree Speaker: Michael Shockley, ReCreate Church Scripture: Genesis 3:1-15 In part 1 of our Christmas 2025 series, Pastor Michael explores the surprising connection between Christmas trees and the Garden of Eden. Through historical research, he reveals that Christmas trees aren't pagan but originated from medieval "Paradise Trees" used in Adam and Eve plays. The real first Christmas tree was in Eden, where God made the first promise of a Savior who would crush the serpent's head. Key Points - Christmas trees originated from medieval Paradise Trees used in biblical plays, not pagan traditions - The serpent in Eden was Satan himself, whispering the same lies he still whispers today - Genesis 3:15 contains the first promise of Jesus - the "Protoevangelium" or "First Gospel" - Jesus would be wounded (crucified) but would crush Satan's head in permanent defeat - The deadly power of sin began with a tree in Eden and ended with the tree of the Cross Main Takeaway From the first sin, God promised a Savior. The Christmas story doesn't start in Bethlehem - it starts in Eden with God's original commitment to crush evil and redeem humanity. There is no John 3:16 without Genesis 3:15. Memorable Quotes - "From the first sin, God promised a Savior." - "The first Christmas Tree goes all the way back to the Garden of Eden. And it wasn't decorated with a star. It was decorated with a snake." - "God's not interested in holding us back from good things; only from things that will ultimately be destructive." - "What Jesus offers is not a better kind of religion. Jesus does the work, because we can't save ourselves." - "Christmas isn't just a Baby in a manger. It's God declaring war on every lie that has ever strangled your heart." - "The deadly power of sin began with a tree and ended with a tree. It began with the Tree in the Garden, and ended with The Cross of Christ." Reflection Question What lies is the serpent still whispering to you, and will you choose to believe God's promise of a Savior instead? Tune in to hear the fascinating historical origins of Christmas trees, why aluminum foil stars and Bigfoot ornaments belong on trees, and how Genesis 3:15 is the first promise of Christmas ever given.

On this Horticulture Day, DNR Forester Mark Vitosh is here to give us some insight into the industry that brings so many people joy this time of year.

Later, horticulture expert Aaron Steil joins the conversation and the two give their advice on sprucing up your Christmas tree traditions and answer gardening questions.

Why keep spending money on a cut Christmas tree that you know will be brown and crispy by the second day of the new year when you could be decorating a living tree that can be planted and enjoyed for the next one hundred years or more? Nathan explains how to take care of a living tree indoors over the holidays and provides you with a list of the top tree kinds to use! He then continues the conversation on evergreens and talks about native evergreens that can be used in a variety of ways including hiding that junk pile your neighbor keeps growing in your direct line of sight!
In this festive episode of The Backyard Naturalists, Debbie and Laurie dig into a holiday-season debate that comes up year after year: Should you buy a real Christmas tree or an artificial one? The answer may surprise you and it definitely has more to do with nature, sustainability, and even family traditions than you might expect. Debbie and Laurie compare the environmental impacts, benefits, drawbacks, and unexpected trivia behind both types of trees (including the very unusual product that inspired the original artificial Christmas tree, yes, it's true!). You'll learn why artificial trees have a larger carbon footprint, how long you need to keep one to reduce its environmental impact, and why most of them eventually end up in landfills. Then the hosts explore the world of real Christmas trees, from where they're grown, to how long they take to reach your living room, to the important role they play in local ecosystems and rural economies. With more than 15,000 farms and millions of trees grown annually, real Christmas trees help stabilize soil, protect water, support wildlife, and provide pure, fresh oxygen, plus they're fully biodegradable. This episode also touches on the family traditions tied to choosing a tree, how tree farms replant for the future, and why real trees still come out on top in sustainability studies. And stay tuned: Debbie and Laurie will follow up with a companion episode on what to do with your Christmas tree after the holidays, whether real or artificial.

Nick brings film critics Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy back for a run through several major new releases, including James L. Brooks' comedy drama “Ella McCay,” the animated sequel “Zootopia 2,” the latest “Knives Out” mystery “Wake Up Dead Man,” and the follow up to the video game horror hit “Five Nights at Freddy's 2.” Their conversation moves quickly, mixing sharp reactions with the kind of easy back and forth that comes from years of arguing about movies together. Esmeralda Leon joins Nick later for a round of holiday chatter, which turns into a story about a South Side spot that sells great Christmas trees and also lets you recycle them by feeding them to a herd of very enthusiastic goats. That leads to a tour of strange Christmas trees from around the world, including one built entirely from full bottles of Heineken. The holiday spirit takes on some unusual shapes, and Nick and Esma have plenty of fun with it. [Ep 409]

Sabrina Carpenter and the White House have beef. On Monday, the White House social media team posted a video of ICE agents making arrests with Carpenter's song, "Juno" playing in the background. Carpenter responded with disgust. Do you know the band Geese? Some are calling them "Gen Z's Nirvana" and the generation's "first great rock band." On TikTok, the word "genuinely" (language) has now become a comically overused way to emphasize anything and everything. Click to join our Advent for the Record Listening Experience!

Uh-oh. The Wiggles are in hot water after popping up in a video with some 'unusual' lyrics — and it’s forcing us to ask what we really expect from children’s entertainers. We’re also calling out the new under-16 social media laws as this generation’s 'seatbelt moment': a long-overdue, system-wide safeguard for kids’ developing brains. Plus, the problem with nostalgia. The 'last time' TikTok trend might look wholesome, but it could be quietly distracting us from the moments we’re actually living. And finally: how does your family decorate for Christmas? We’re diving into a certain Royal Family’s festive… enthusiasm.

In this festive Throwback Thursday episode from December 23rd, 2024, Chris DeMakes and co-host/producer Chris Fafalios dive into the story behind the beloved 1958 holiday classic "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree." They trace the song's origins from the pen of Johnny Marks to Brenda Lee's unforgettable vocal performance at just 13 years old, recorded under the guidance of Nashville legend Owen Bradley. The conversation explores the song's rockabilly roots, nostalgic lyrics, and the standout saxophone solo that gives it an extra burst of holiday spirit. They also reflect on the track's remarkable staying power, its boost from films like Home Alone, and Brenda Lee's historic climb to the top of the charts in 2023—proving that some Christmas magic only gets stronger with time.

The Democrats are using the recent drug boat strike as an opportunity to portray Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth as part of a broader issue, criticizing the Trump Administration for decisions that conflict with their views. This comes on the heels of President Trump's controversial comments referring to Somali immigrants as “garbage,” which prompted a strong response from Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, who condemned the remarks as racially motivated and deeply hurtful. Mark interviews Roger Friedman of Showbiz411.The two attended an exclusive event last night at a Manhattan restaurant, where they mingled with several celebrities and gained unique insights into their lives. Notably, Roger had the chance to sit down with filmmaker Woody Allen to discuss how things are going for him, and the conversation was positive and engaging. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel has announced plans to visit New York City, though it remains unclear whether he will meet with Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani. The ongoing debate around “Trump Derangement Syndrome” taking over anti-Trumpers' minds is being highlighted deeper and deeper as the weeks go on. Manhattan psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert is reportedly receiving death threats for speaking out on the topic. Mark interviews WOR weeknight host Jimmy Failla. The two try to understand why Mayor-Elect Mamdani participated in a Starbucks workers' strike earlier in the week over work-life balance. Additionally, they touch on recent warnings from left-wing media figures about the threat Russia may pose to the United States and beyond.

Client Reviews… ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jenny's teachings have produced results reconnecting me with my estranged daughter I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible support and guidance received in the most tragic time of my life from coach Jenny Good. Her faith, compassion, understanding, dedication and display of radical love has truly been life-changing for me. I was so overwhelmed with feelings of confusion, guilt, and sadness. I felt lost and didn't know how to navigate through the emotional turmoil I was experiencing. However, from the very first call, Jenny created a safe and non-judgmental space for me to share my details. Her ability to listen attentively and empathize while helping me understand a different way of thinking is truly remarkable. She understood my feelings and offered tools each session in ways I have not experienced even from therapy. I am forever thankful for the medicine she has poured into me to be the very best version of myself! This has rippled into all areas of life for me. Jenny's teachings have produced results reconnecting me with my estranged daughter! Thank you for being the vessel of unwavering faith & love that so many of us could benefit from, estranged or not.

I feel empowered to continue stepping into my full power as a mother and to live a life where my children matter, but they don't determine my worth. I am me again. - Carol Adams
