Did South Africa find a loophole in rugby's HIA rules — or did something go badly wrong with the replacement process? The Springboks' chaotic finish against the Wallabies raised bigger questions about how concussion replacements are supposed to work and who controls the process. Ross Karl, James Parsons and Bryn Hall also break down what Australia did so well for most of the test, plus four yellow cards, referees on phones, and one of the strangest ends to a test in recent memory.Warning: Audio quality is varied because of online recording.(00:00) Boks Watch: Wallabies v Springboks(00:49) How strong was this Springboks team?(02:43) What really happened at scrum time(05:50) Taniela Tupou causes the Boks problems(08:22) How scrum angles actually work(11:29) Australia's front-row weapons(13:39) The Springbok back who caught our eye(15:59) What Australia did differently to the All Blacks(17:37) How the Wallabies attacked the breakdown(19:09) Why Australia kept things simple(20:31) Are the Wallabies building real belief?(21:50) Four yellow cards and complete chaos(23:25) Did the officials lose control?(24:12) The referee phone call explained(26:11) The Boks' HIA replacement controversy(27:12) Can the HIA system be manipulated?(29:13) Why this could become a much bigger problemCatch all our content across @aotearoarugbypodofficial channels Hosted on Acast.

Concussions, wie der Engländer sagen würde, passieren häufig im Sport, selten im Alltag, aber stets traumatisch. Klaas und Dennis schauen durch osteopathische Brille auf einen Beschwerdekomplex, dem man sich von verschiedenen therapeutischen Richtungen annähern kann. Somit eine klassische Indikation für die klassische Osteopathie und darüber hinaus. Schnallt Eure Fahrradhelme auf und geht rein in eine Folge ohne Kopfschmerzgefahr.

Football season is upon us and a new study is making headlines. Researchers found that roughly 1 in 4 NFL players will develop CTE, a neurodegenerative disease, in their lifetime. While most of us are not professional athletes, concussions are still a relatively common injury. Millions of Americans get concussions each year, but the exact number is hard to pin down because many people don't seek treatment. So what are we learning about how concussions affect the brain? And how are the best practices for treatment changing? To answer those questions and more Flora sits down with Teena Shetty, a former neurologist for the New York Giants and author of the new book “Healing the Brain.” Guest: Dr. Teena Shetty is a former neurologist for the New York Giants and founder of the Teena Shetty MD Concussion Clinic. She is also an associate professor of clinical neurology at Weill Cornell Medical College and author of “Healing the Brain.”Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

Matt Spiegel and Laurence Holmes opened their show by reacting to the news that Bears backup quarterback Tyson Bagent has landed in the concussion protocol. He had been in line to start for the Bears against the Eagles next Monday with starter Caleb Williams dealing with a hamstring injury. After that, Cubs second baseman Nico Hoerner joined the show to discuss the team's mindset as the playoffs loom and to share the scary experience of watching third baseman Alex Bregman suffer a facial injury when he was hit in the face by a foul ball Sunday.

After a terrible Sunday, the Bears' Tuesday was almost as bad. News that Tyson Bagent is under the NFL's Concussion Protocol has fans concerned. John, Alyssa and Danny break down the news, tape and Aldo's AI graphics.

Episode 26-38 Help For Post-Concussion Syndrome, TMJ and Headaches Very few Chiropractors, Medical Doctors and Physical Therapists receive training in the detection and correction of misalignments to the bones of the cranium (skull). Heck, very few Chiropractors, Medical Doctors and Physical Therapists are even aware that the bones of the cranium move and can become "misaligned," That's a shame because a misaligned cranial bone can be THE CAUSE of conditions such as Bell's Palsy, Trigeminal Neuralgia, Vertigo, Tinnitus, TMJ, Headaches, Neck Pain, Memory Loss, Brain Fog, Depression, Insomnia, and Impaired Vision. Although there are many potential causes of a misaligned cranial bone the most common one is head trauma. Yes, trauma to the head is the most common cause of a misaligned cranial bone and can be THE UNDERLYING CAUSE of the symptoms listed above. When this happens… when a person suffers head trauma and corresponding symptoms… it is called Post-Concussion Syndrome. For many sufferers of Post-Concussion Syndrome traditional care from a Chiropractor, Medical Doctor and/or Physical Therapist will provide relief. But not always. You see, there are some individuals with Post-Concussion Syndrome who WON'T get better from traditional care. Individuals who will continue to suffer for months, and even years, after the initial injury. This shouldn't be.  THESE individuals should be seeking out a doctor who is skilled in Cranial Therapy. Someone who knows how to detect and correct misalignments to the bones of the skull. On this week's episode I talk about Post-Concussion Syndrome… how it can cause the variety of symptoms listed above… and what doctors like myself do to correct it. Give this episode a good listen if you, or someone you know, has suffered with head trauma and/or the symptoms listed above. And, as always, please share this episode with a friend.

A concussion can affect far more than memory or concentration. It can change sleep, mood, physical function, personality, and even how someone experiences their own identity.In this episode of the Mark Divine Show, I sit down with neurologist and concussion expert Dr. Teena Shetty to explore why brain injury requires a much more integrated approach to recovery.Dr. Shetty explains why concussion should not simply be treated by waiting for symptoms to disappear. We discuss the role of sleep and circadian rhythm, exercise, nutrition, physical and vestibular therapy, psychological support, and caregivers in helping the brain recover.We also explore repetitive and subconcussive impacts, why someone doesn't necessarily have to lose consciousness to experience a concussion, and how symptoms such as anxiety, irritability, sadness, and personality changes can be connected to brain injury.In this episode:• Why concussion recovery requires an integrated approach• The cognitive, physical, and emotional symptoms of brain injury• Why loss of consciousness doesn't determine concussion severity• Repetitive and subconcussive impacts• Sleep and circadian rhythm in brain recovery• Why the old “cocooning” approach has changed• Exercise, nutrition, and rehabilitation• The importance of caregivers and community• Identity changes after brain injury• Emerging approaches to neurological recovery• What we still don't know about long-term brain healthLearn more about Dr. Teena Shetty:teenashettymd.comDr. Shetty's book, Healing the Brain: A Revolutionary Program for Concussion Recovery:https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/798251/healing-the-brain-by-teena-shetty-md/Learn more about Unbeatable Mind:unbeatablemind.comIf this conversation helps you better understand concussion and brain health, share it with someone who could benefit, follow the Mark Divine Show, and leave a review wherever you listen.#MarkDivineShow #TeenaShetty #BrainHealth #ConcussionRecovery #Neurology

In the final hour, Leila Rahimi and Mark Grote reacted to the breaking news that Bears backup quarterback Tyson Bagent has entered the concussion protocol. He had been in line to start against the Eagles next Monday with starting quarterback Caleb Williams dealing with a hamstring injury. That means veteran Case Keenum could start at quarterback for Chicago. After that, Rahimi and Grote wondered what the Cubs can expect to get from third baseman Alex Bregman in the playoffs if he's healthy enough to return from facial fractures that he suffered when hit by a foul ball in a scary incident Sunday.

The Chicago Bears quarterback room reportedly took another hit Tuesday. Backup Tyson Bagent entered the NFL's concussion protocol after he suffered a concussion in Sunday's loss to the Minnesota Vikings.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/shaw-local-s-bears-insider-podcast--3098936/support.This episode includes AI-generated content.

Send us Fan MailMost climate conversations in sport start with the elite game. Tom Campbell starts with the clubrooms: a grassroots footy club whose power bill dropped from $9,000 a year to $900, with the $8,000 difference going straight back into the club.Brian and Simon are joined by Tom Campbell, co-founder of Footy for Climate, which he started while playing at North Melbourne, in the season the Black Summer bushfires filled the training track with smoke. Its Power Forward program puts solar and battery systems onto community footy clubs so the savings stay in the community game.Most of the hour lands on the part builders will recognise: the clubrooms are owned by councils, the tenants pay the bills, and almost nobody is funded to fix them. Campbell is blunt that climate action has to save money before a club or council will touch it, which is the same case builders make for efficiency, insulation and retrofit every day. The conversation also gets into what the savings unlock, from concussion screening at community level to why a changing climate is already moving the fixture.EPISODE HIGHLIGHTSPower Forward, and what solar plus battery does to a community club's power billWhy councils own the clubrooms, and why that is the hardest part to solveWhy solar on its own no longer stacks up, and what winter footy does to the numbersWhat the savings unlock, including concussion screening at community levelThe $20 million that would retrofit 220 Victorian clubs and save $3.5 million a yearCHAPTERS0:00 - Meet Tom Campbell, and why Black Summer started Footy for Climate4:07 - Offsetting player flights, and why that model stopped7:10 - Power Forward, and a club power bill from $9,000 to $90011:24 - The council owns the clubrooms, so how does a club get solar?15:16 - Why solar alone no longer stacks up without a battery18:48 - What the savings unlock, beyond the carbon24:34 - Is the AFL on board, and does it fund the work?26:49 - Mandatory reporting, and the clubs already moving31:16 - Having a climate conversation inside a footy club35:32 - An open chequebook, and the $20 million Victoria needs39:17 - Concussion, and neuropsych screening at community level41:22 - Five years out, and 500 clubs by 203043:25 - What players know, and the media training behind it47:42 - Climate is already moving the fixture50:15 - What keeps you going when progress is slow53:05 - QuickfireABOUT TOM CAMPBELLTom Campbell is co-founder of Footy for Climate, which he started over five years ago while playing at the North Melbourne Football Club.

Guest IntroductionAyla Wolf, DAOM, L.Ac. is a functional neurologist and licensed acupuncturist specializing in concussion and brain injury recovery. With a doctorate in acupuncture and Oriental medicine and extensive training through the Carrick Institute in functional neurology, she brings a unique cross-disciplinary approach to helping people heal from post-concussion symptoms. Dr. Wolf is the author of two books: The Concussion Breakthrough (a comprehensive reference guide for understanding and addressing post-concussion symptoms) and The Art of Concussion Recovery (a beautifully written exploration of the emotional and psychological aspects of healing). She is also the host of the Life After Impact podcast, where she continues to educate and inspire people on their recovery journeys. Her clinic is located in Stillwater, Minnesota, where she offers five-day intensive programs for out-of-state patients.Summary: In this episode (the second half of a two-part conversation), Bethany Lewis continues her discussion with Dr. Ayla Wolf, DAOM, L.Ac., a functional neurologist and acupuncturist who specializes in concussion and brain injury recovery. Dr. Wolf shares the inspiration behind her first book, The Concussion Breakthrough, explaining how she wanted to create a comprehensive reference guide that helps people understand their symptoms, communicate effectively with healthcare providers, and advocate for themselves. She discusses her functional neurology approach, which leverages neuroplasticity to assess how different aspects of the nervous system work independently and together under stress. The conversation then turns to Dr. Wolf's second book, The Art of Concussion Recovery, which she describes as a "download" that came to her during a run. This book explores the emotional and psychological dimensions of recovery, using powerful analogies like learning a foreign language and driving through fog to help listeners understand their experiences. Key topics include the difference between awareness and hypervigilance, the power of language in shaping our recovery (e.g., "I have a brain injury" vs. "I'm healing from a brain injury"), acceptance versus resignation, the distinction between pain and suffering, and the importance of self-compassion and nervous system regulation. Dr. Wolf emphasizes that recovery is not a linear process and that our thoughts, mindset, and inner dialogue play a crucial role in healing. Resources MentionedWebsite: lifeafterimpact.comEmail: lifeafterimpact@gmail.comInstagram: @lifeafterimpactYouTube: @lifeafterimpactTikTok: @life.after.impactSubstack: Life After ImpactPodcast: Life After ImpactBooks:The Concussion Breakthrough (reference guide for understanding and addressing post-concussion symptoms)The Art of Concussion Recovery (available as an audiobook)Clinic Location: Stillwater, Minnesota (offers five-day intensive programs for out-of-state patients)Connect with Bethany:Website: https://theconcussioncoach.com/Free Consultation: https://theconcussioncoach.com/free-consultation

Chad Greeway talks about the The Minnesota Vikings quarterback sitch...aka and what's going down with Kyler Murray's concussion. Main point: if we are really going to be serious about players concussions, why are we coming back so soon? Good thing we find out that Kyler will not be playing in Week 2. Then the question arises: Can Carson Wentz handle the quarterback job? Or is Kyler, once he's completely healthy, the one to beat? The Chads discuss.

Dr. Karen Litzy speaks with Dr. Osman Ahmed about how concussion care has evolved for paraathletes, why standard tools often fall short, and what the new ParaScat 6 tools aim to fix. They also discuss the Concussion in Parasport Group, the importance of athlete input in research, and why clinicians should think differently about baseline function in athletes with impairments. Key Topics ·       In this episode, Dr. Osman Ahmed explains what paraathletes are and why the term matters when discussing concussion care. ·       We discuss why paraathletes were historically left out of concussion research and how that gap reflected broader patterns in sports medicine. ·       Osman breaks down why standard tools like the SCAT can be difficult to apply to athletes with amputations, visual impairments, spinal cord injuries, or wheelchair use. ·       He shares how baseline symptoms such as blurred vision, headaches, or light sensitivity can be normal for some paraathletes and should not be assumed to indicate concussion without context. ·       We talk about the creation of the Concussion in Parasport Group and the first position statement that helped guide clinicians on assessment, management, and return to play. ·       Osman describes how the position statement used a practical color coding approach for tests: o   green for appropriate o   yellow for use with caution or modification o   red for not appropriate ·       We discuss the research and clinical gaps that led to the development of ParaScat 6 tools for wheelchair users and athletes with visual impairment. ·       Osman shares how athlete lived experience shaped the design, testing, and refinement of the new tools in real time. ·       He explains why the biggest shift for clinicians is to think carefully about baselines before doing post injury concussion assessments. ·       Osman also previews his presentation at the Sixth World Congress of Sports Physiotherapy in Bern and encourages clinicians to engage with paraathletes humbly and proactively.

David Haugh and Jarrett Payton discussed the top sports stories of the day in the Pick 6 segment.

Morgan rarely thought about sleep until a concussion in 2023 changed everything. As she dealt with dizziness, nausea, ringing in her head, and disrupted sleep, she tried medication, supplements, detailed sleep tracking, and strict sleep rules. Instead of helping her get back on track, all that effort only added more pressure and created more struggle. In this episode, Morgan shares how acceptance, self-compassion, and taking small actions based on what mattered to her helped her move away from struggling with insomnia. Today, she says she is sleeping much better and feels like herself again.

Pat Boyle and Brad Evans dive into the biggest injury fallout around the NFL following Week 1, starting with the devastating news that Los Angeles Rams superstar pass rusher Myles Garrett will undergo knee surgery and land on injured reserve, sidelining him for at least four games ahead of a brutal upcoming schedule. The guys assess the panic level in L.A. and how Aaron Donald's looming return impacts the front before turning to Baltimore, where Lamar Jackson faces uncertainty at wide receiver after Zay Flowers suffered a hamstring strain and rookie Jacoby Lane broke his wrist. Finally, they break down Minnesota's quarterback situation with Kyler Murray in concussion protocol and debate whether the Vikings are better off rolling with Carson Wentz in a high-stakes Week 2 showdown against the Chicago Bears.

Have you ever been knocked completely unconscious?That's the perfectly normal question Rizz decides to open the week with, and suddenly everybody is digging through their personal history to figure out whether they've ever actually been knocked out cold.Moon has the strongest résumé, considering he somehow accumulated 219 stitches in his head and face as a kid and remembers multiple collisions where everything went black. Rafe recalls a helmet-to-helmet football hit that left him seeing the proverbial cartoon birds before collapsing. Lern doesn't think she's ever been fully knocked unconscious, although growing up with cousins who regularly beat the crap out of her apparently made it a legitimate possibility.And Rizz?Rizz has been watching compilation videos of other people getting absolutely demolished.Healthy Monday morning behavior.One clip involving a guy falling off a boat, smashing his head on a dock and disappearing into the water becomes particularly concerning — mostly because Rizz's algorithm apparently believes watching strangers fall down is his primary hobby.From there, this funny podcast heads south of the border as Moon returns from Mexico City after performing with Goldfinger at Warped Tour.And this was not exactly an intimate acoustic evening.Moon describes roughly 40,000 people packed in front of their stage, with the festival selling more than 150,000 tickets overall. He talks about Mexico City's enormous scale, the altitude, the incredible food, the people, the wealth disparity and the extra security precautions surrounding touring musicians in a place where the rules and risks can feel very different.There are chilaquiles. There are frijoles. There are expensive cigars. There's a ridiculously expensive steak.And naturally, Rizz's primary concern is whether Moon remembered to buy him Viagra.International travel really broadens the mind.Moon also talks about flying around the anniversary of 9/11, which leads into a discussion about airport security and TSA programs that could potentially allow approved non-ticketed visitors back through security at select airports. The gang remembers the ancient civilization known as “the 1990s,” when you could actually walk someone all the way to their gate without being treated like you were attempting to infiltrate NORAD.They also get into liquid restrictions, TSA PreCheck, Global Entry, inconsistent airport screening and the horrifying experience of throwing away expensive shampoo because apparently national security depends on Lern traveling with a tiny bottle of conditioner.Then Rafe reveals that he witnessed something deeply disturbing on 9/11:A family ordered two seafood towers.Two towers.And Rafe watched the second one go down.We apologize to everyone.Food remains a theme when the crew compares absurd restaurant prices, including Moon's Mexico City steakhouse experience and Lern contemplating finally dropping serious money on Alinea in Chicago for an anniversary dinner. Because nothing says romance like spending enough on dinner to briefly reconsider your retirement plan.Then Lern enters a place far more dangerous than Mexico City:Youth baseball.She attends her best friend's son's game and discovers an ecosystem of pop-up tents blocking everyone's view, dads standing directly behind home plate, parents coaching from the sidelines and one father criticizing his own kid so relentlessly that Lern — a woman who isn't even entirely sure how old the child she came to support is — starts emotionally adopting the entire team.That launches a bigger conversation about parents living through their kids, screaming at coaches and officials, and turning youth sports into their own personal Game 7.Rafe remembers his dad loudly chirping him from the stands during basketball games. Moon remembers a young umpire being so intimidated by an aggressive coach that the situation became genuinely humiliating. Rizz talks about parents screaming at aging high-school officials who are simply trying to keep up with teenage athletes without requiring emergency medical assistance.The consensus?Maybe let the kids play.Wild concept.But this episode still has one more masterpiece waiting.Lern's band plays an outdoor show at Schlafly Bottleworks, where the heat is brutal, the crowd is lively and one audience member decides that simply watching the band isn't enough.This person brings a guitar.And an amp.Then sets up in front of the actual band and starts playing along.Not invited.Not part of the group.Just spiritually promoted themselves to guitarist.People in the crowd start moving away while Lern tries to process whether this is annoying, hilarious or possibly the boldest audition in music history. The mystery musician is apparently friendly, fist-bumps Lern, makes song requests and continues enjoying their completely unauthorized guest appearance.Moon thinks Lern missed an opportunity.His solution? Bring the person onstage. Turn them into part of the show. Maybe let them shred. Maybe get them to stage dive.If it were Greek Fire?Security.Immediately.That's called artistic integrity.By the end, this funny podcast has managed to connect head injuries, massive concerts in Mexico City, airport security, seafood towers, $190 steaks, overbearing baseball parents and the only person brave enough to attend a concert and apparently think, “These guys could use another guitarist.”Episode 174 is The Rizzuto Show doing what it does best: beginning with one innocent question and somehow ending up in six completely different arguments nobody knew they needed.It's travel stories, St. Louis comedy, concert chaos, parenting disasters, weird personal memories and sarcastic humor from a group of people who can turn airport shampoo regulations into a legitimate morning discussion.Come for Moon playing in front of tens of thousands of people. Stay for Lern accidentally discovering the world's most aggressive volunteer guitarist.That's a funny podcast right there.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.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What do concussions, Mexico City, a $2,000 foldable iPhone, midnight margaritas, tanning beds and a robot vacuum catching an alleged cheater have in common?Absolutely nothing.So naturally, we put them together.This three-episode collection of The Rizzuto Show combines some spectacularly unrelated conversations into one giant funny podcast featuring physical trauma, international rock-star adventures, technological betrayal, relationship debates and enough questionable judgment to keep everybody employed for at least one more morning.The chaos begins with a simple question: has anyone on the show ever been knocked out cold?Moon recalls childhood injuries and the 219 stitches he's had in his head and face, along with moments when a hard impact made everything go black. Rafe remembers a helmet-to-helmet football collision that left him seeing lights before collapsing. Lern doesn't think she was ever fully knocked unconscious, although her cousins apparently made a respectable effort when they were kids.Meanwhile, Rizz reveals that his social-media algorithm has correctly identified his primary interests as cooking videos and watching people get absolutely demolished.Personalized technology is beautiful.From there, Moon returns from Mexico City after performing with Goldfinger at Warped Tour. He describes roughly 40,000 people packed in front of their stage, with more than 150,000 tickets sold for the event overall. Mexico City's altitude makes performing an adventure of its own, but Moon comes back raving about the crowd, the people, the food and the sheer size of a city that seemingly never ends.There are chilaquiles. There are frijoles. There's an extremely nice hotel. There are also security precautions involving verified drivers and discussions of kidnapping risks, because apparently touring internationally occasionally requires more preparation than “bring your guitar.”Moon also gets reflective about the wealth disparity he saw and how traveling outside your normal bubble can violently reset your perspective.Then everybody talks airports, TSA rules and the possibility of approved non-ticketed visitors eventually being allowed back through security at select airports. This leads directly into old airport nostalgia, Global Entry complaints, confiscated toiletries and all the other tiny indignities we accept because somebody once decided 3.5 ounces of shampoo represents chaos.Lern then takes us into another terrifying environment:Youth baseball.After attending her best friend's son's game, she reports back on parents blocking views with tents, adults getting way too emotionally invested and one dad loudly criticizing his own kid while the kid is trying to hit.The crew gets into overbearing sports parents, adults attempting to relive their glory days through children, screaming at referees and umpires, and the incredible ability of youth athletics to turn otherwise functional adults into people who believe a 12-year-old's batting average determines the family legacy.And somehow that still isn't the weirdest concert-related story.At an outdoor gig, Lern encounters an audience member who brings their own guitar AND a battery-powered amplifier, sets up in front of the band and simply starts playing along.Not invited.Not hired.Not remotely part of the band.Just spiritually promoted themselves.Honestly, that confidence should be studied.Then another episode brings us the reported foldable Apple iPhone and the greatest civil-rights battle nobody expected: left-handed people versus phone design.The show discusses complaints that the foldable phone's layout is significantly friendlier to right-handed users. Moon's position is compassionate and nuanced:The world is built for right-handed people. Deal with it.Rizz responds by digging into supposed advantages of being left-handed in sports, creativity and other areas, which somehow becomes a discussion of famous lefties, presidents and Professor Lern's historically questionable theories.Her future college course remains undefeated:“Things I Think, But Can't Prove.”Everybody passes.The funny podcast then transforms into a movie-review program nobody requested.Lern and her mom go see Practical Magic 2 dressed as witches and discover they are apparently the only people who received the imaginary costume memo. Fortunately, they have midnight margaritas and commit to the bit.Lern enjoys the movie. Rafe also enjoys it.There is only one important difference.Rafe went alone.Now the crew can't stop imagining one solitary man sitting among groups of mothers and daughters at Practical Magic 2, looking suspicious despite having the extremely innocent explanation that he simply likes Sandra Bullock and wanted the movie to succeed.Moon counters with his own nostalgia fix in Mortal Kombat 2, and suddenly the show has become Siskel & Ebert if Siskel & Ebert spent half the review making fun of each other.More movie talk follows, including horror, sequels and entertainment news, before the show encounters something truly horrifying:Fake Eminem.An AI-generated song presented like a new Eminem track reportedly racks up more than 100,000 YouTube views before being removed. The crew listens and quickly realizes something is missing.Variation.A hook.Actual Eminem.And, most importantly, references to his mom.AI may be coming for everyone's jobs, but apparently Slim Shady remains safe for another afternoon.Then Missouri gives everyone approximately seven minutes of gorgeous weather.Rizz has the family outside. The dogs are playing. Nobody is fighting. Lern starts dreaming about jackets. Sweater weather is coming!Tomorrow's high?99 degrees.Thanks, St. Louis.The conversation immediately gets darker when the show discusses allegations involving secret recordings of unsuspecting people using tanning facilities at an Arnold-area gym. The story summons the imaginary justice system known as Rizland, where the crew begins designing an increasingly elaborate form of Swamp Justice for the accused.Lern proposes public shaming.Rafe adds tanning.Rizz gets disturbingly enthusiastic about the cooking process.Nobody should give these people judicial authority.Ever.Next, Sex Time Fun Facts brings in a relationship dilemma involving a husband who wants to leave a stressful, high-paying career and pursue a calmer life. His wife worries about losing their lifestyle and wonders whether getting his testosterone checked might restore the ambitious “tiger” she married.The room immediately divides over burnout, money, responsibility, marriage and whether this man genuinely needs a healthier life or just discovered mushrooms at Burning Man and now wants to skateboard in Costa Rica.Underneath the jokes, the crew actually gets into the reality that people change during long relationships — and that figuring out how to adapt together may be more important than expecting your spouse to remain exactly who they were when you met.Very mature.Don't worry. It doesn't last.Because now we have a robot vacuum solving infidelity.The show discusses a story from Taiwan involving a husband who reportedly activated a robot vacuum remotely and discovered his wife with another man through the device's camera.Forget lipstick on the collar.The Roomba has evidence.The legal aftermath gets even stranger, but Rafe remains fixated on the true violation: another man allegedly sitting bare-assed on the couch where the husband watches football.Some betrayals simply cut deeper.That launches the crew into a debate over what actually qualifies as cheating.Flirtatious texts?Late-night conversations you hide from your partner?Keeping a dating profile for “validation”?Deleting messages?Saving somebody under a fake name?Talking to another person about problems in your relationship?Everyone draws the line somewhere different, although Moon offers perhaps the most useful conclusion: if you want a genuinely healthy relationship, maybe stop deliberately hanging out directly next to the line.This reasonable advice lasts until the show debates whether a straight married guy could theoretically maintain a Grindr profile exclusively for compliments.We tried.Three episodes. One spectacular pile of nonsense.You've got people getting knocked out, Moon playing for a gigantic Mexico City crowd, airport security, youth-sports parents, an unauthorized audience guitarist, left-handed phone discrimination, witch costumes, midnight margaritas, Mortal Kombat nostalgia, AI Eminem, fake sweater weather, alleged tanning-bed surveillance, marital burnout, relationship boundaries and a robot vacuum that has seen things no household appliance should ever have to see.It's weird news, funny stories, pop culture commentary, St. Louis chaos and exactly the kind of funny podcast where you can start with traumatic brain injuries and somehow end up debating whether your Roomba is legally allowed to testify against your spouse.Technology was a mistake.Vans Warped Tour Mexico CityTSA revives pre-9/11 tradition with gate access for certain travelers without tickets'Practical Magic 2' Box Office: Sequel Fizzles With $28 Million DebutMan charged after police say he secretly recorded people while tanning at Arnold gymFollow 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.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Have you ever looked in the mirror after an injury and wondered where the "real you" went? When a concussion strikes, we tend to pour all our energy into tracking physical symptoms and managing clinical protocols. But in doing so, we often ignore the quiet, devastating rupture happening beneath the surface: the sudden loss of your identity. Whether you were the early-bird athlete, the high-achieving professional, the dependable parent, or the life of the party, a brain injury can strip away those roles in a single day, leaving you feeling like a stranger to yourself. Trying to force your way back into your old life—or rushing to find a "silver lining" before you've even processed the loss—only leaves you feeling isolated, stuck in limbo, and drowning in invisible guilt. True healing requires more than just symptom management; it requires the space to mourn who you were so you can discover who you're becoming. In this episode, host Natasha breaks down the messy, unspoken emotional side of concussion recovery and shares a practical framework to help you rebuild a meaningful identity on your own terms. BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER: Why identity loss after a concussion is a direct physical and emotional consequence of brain injury, not just a psychological reaction. The 5 identity archetypes most impacted by concussion—and why pushing through symptoms actually traps the "resilient" personality type. The 4 stages of identity reconstruction and how to navigate "Suspension," the awkward in-between phase where most recovery journeys stall out. Practical strategies to anchor your recovery in core values, adjust your sense of contribution, and properly grieve your old self. Hit play to step out of the recovery limbo and start reclaiming your narrative today! Ready to raise your standard of care and stop hitting clinical ceilings?

The NFL's billion-dollar concussion settlement was designed to compensate former players suffering from the devastating neurological consequences of a career in professional football — but a bombshell report reveals that five law firms systematically exploited that system through an organized scheme of fraudulent diagnoses. Special masters appointed by a federal court found that attorneys steered clients to unapproved doctors willing to hand out Parkinson's disease diagnoses regardless of symptoms, funneling over $95 million in fraudulent claims through the fund before an audit shut it down. Today we unpack what this scandal reveals about the psychology of institutional betrayal, the vulnerability of injured athletes, and what happens when the people trusted to protect you become the threat.

She details her transition from a successful career in fertility and sports acupuncture due to a life-altering series of events that would redefine her purpose. After suffering multiple concussions—including two just ten days apart—Dr. Wolf found herself grappling with severe, unexplained symptoms like insomnia, brain fog, and emotional dysregulation while trying to run a thriving business.She candidly discusses a harrowing experience with a prescribed medication that triggered suicidal thoughts, and a turning point that ultimately led her to sell her business and home and move to Texas to study brain injuries.

With school back in session and the fall school sports season in full swing, I want to take a minute to get you thinking about a health issue related to kids and sports. As parents, we need to be diligent about ensuring the physical safety of our kids and their bodies as it relates to concussions. God made the brain to be a complex organ. In recent years experts have been sounding the alarm about the short and long-term damage that concussions can do to the brain. A study in the journal Pediatrics suggests that the effects of a concussion may last longer than previously thought, a reality we should consider when we are pondering when to get our kids back on the field. Some concussions take months rather than a few weeks, to heal. It takes longer if the athlete has had a prior concussion. In a day and age when we value athletics and on-field achievement perhaps too much, think about the long-term effects that today's decisions might have on your kids.

Getting back into sports is exciting, but it also comes with important responsibilities for athletes, parents, and coaches. As the school year begins and sports seasons get underway, student-athletes are facing intense practices, long tournament days, and extreme heat. Knowing how to properly prepare, hydrate, recover, and respond to warning signs can make a major difference in keeping young athletes safe. For student-athletes, staying healthy is about more than simply showing up for practice. Consistent nutrition and hydration, adequate rest, proper strength training, and paying attention to injuries can help the body handle the demands of a long season. Understanding the signs of heat illness, concussion, and overuse injuries is also important, especially when an athlete may be tempted to push through pain or return to play too soon. In this episode of Time Out with the Sports Doctor, Dr. Derrick Burgess joins registered dietitian Rebecca Turner to talk about staying safe and healthy during the back-to-school and sports season. They discuss heat safety, hydration, nutrition, recognizing serious symptoms, common sports injuries, concussion care, overuse injuries, early sports specialization, cross-training, and preparing the body for competition. Most importantly, they remind parents and athletes to be proactive, listen to the body, and know when an injury or symptom needs to be evaluated. "Just really paying attention to your athlete as a parent, you're gonna know when that child's not themselves, and that's gonna be a sign for you. Trust your gut."— Dr. Derrick Burgess Topics Covered: 00:00:00 – Introduction 00:02:37 – Heat, nutrition, and hydration 00:04:38 – Understanding wet bulb temperature 00:06:16 – Signs of heat illness 00:08:36 – Heat safety for parents and athletes 00:11:09 – Preparing for sports emergencies 00:14:53 – Concussions and early evaluation 00:17:18 – Preventing overuse injuries 00:18:37 – Strength training and cross-training 00:19:10 – Sports specialization 00:20:42 – Staying healthy beyond sports physicals 00:21:27 – Friday night sports medicine clinics Key Takeaways:   "With the heat right now, we know it's intense, so it starts off first with nutrition, hydration." — Dr. Derrick Burgess "Just like with everything else when it comes to hydration, consistency over time matters." — Rebecca Turner "The wet bulb temperature is a better measure of the impact of the temperature on your body." — Dr. Derrick Burgess "If you have somebody who has stopped sweating and cramping really badly, you need to call 911 and you also need to cool that athlete." — Dr. Derrick Burgess "I think you have to be proactive. I think it starts off with education." — Dr. Derrick Burgess "Being able to remove yourself from that exposure to the sun can help the body's core temperature cool down, especially in between games." — Dr. Derrick Burgess "We have to be vigilant for any athlete that's just doing the same thing over and over and over using those same muscle systems over and over without cross-training." — Dr. Derrick Burgess Connect with Dr. Derrick Burgess: Website: https://www.drderrickthesportsdr.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drderrickthesportsdr/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TimeOut.SportsDr LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/derrick-burgess-72047b246/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@dr.derrickburgess243 Email: thesportsdoctr@gmail.com Other Links: https://www.hbcuendzone.org/about Scrubs to Skylines: https://www.instagram.com/scrubstoskylines/ This episode of TimeOut with the SportsDr. is produced by Podcast VAs Philippines - the team that helps podcasters effectively launch and manage their podcasts, so we don't have to.
