In this episode of the Especially for Athletes Podcast, Shad and Dustin dive into the important concept of likability vs. status popularity, discussing how the principles of kindness and genuine relationships can have a lasting positive impact. The conversation is sparked by the wisdom shared by Kyle Collinsworth, former BYU basketball star, who advises high school students to “put down cool and pick up kindness.” They explore an article by child psychologist Mitch Prinstein, who explains the two types of popularity: likability, where people make others feel good, and status, which focuses on outward appearances and social power. The latter may provide short-term recognition, but as Prinstein points out, it often leads to loneliness, stress, and dissatisfaction in the long run. On the other hand, likability brings lasting benefits: stronger relationships, career success, and even improved well-being. Drawing from sports and their own experiences, Shad and Dustin emphasize how athletes have a unique opportunity to leverage their status to bless others, rather than impress them. They stress that being a likable athlete—one who lifts others up and values relationships—creates a ripple effect that lasts long after the game ends. Join us for a conversation about the importance of kindness, authentic connections, and why building likability is far more important than chasing status. Eyes up, do the work, and remember: kindness has the power to shape your future.

In this episode of Bring the Pain, instead of reviewing football games, I decided to review my seasonal and dynasty team's championship games. From a 13-1 team falling apart to a 6-8 team rising or of the dust, this season had it all. In the end, I decided to give out all three players from my Hard Hits and Cool Picks article that hit the website today. I figured with it being the last week, I would just give them all out and some some prop bets to go with those players. That's how we're going to slay the new year and the sportsbook next year. Have a great day, everyone, and may the championships be with you.

I also have a few teams coming off a bye, so it's almost a full slate for myself this week. After that, I talked about the Monday night football games before letting some players have it with their performances this week. In the end, I reveal one of my IDP players this week that you should target if he's available in your waiver wire. For the rest of the article, check out my Hard Hits and Cool Picks article that hit the site on Tuesday. Let's strap up and hold on tight as we all get ready to slay our competition this week.

In this episode of Bring the Pain, I reviewed the Monday night football game between the Bengals and the Cowboys. With the Bengals looking impressive against a team in shambles, they also let the Cowboys punk them in the beginning. After that, I decided to switch focus to seasonal leagues that show eliminated teams to make waiver wire moves. With this becoming a problem  within some leagues, other leagues usually have this controlled by locking eliminated teams. In the end, I reveal the player that I wanted to cover from my Hard Hits and Cool Picks, IDP article that hit the site today. It's time to dominate your playoffs, so buckle up, and let's smash the competition. Have a great day, everyone, and may the points be with you.

 In this episode of Bring the Pain, I reviewed last night's Monday night football game between the Broncos and the Browns. I picked out a few things I saw on both sides of the ball as well as how great Jameis Winston looked. Of course, we all knew at some point we would all be reminded of what got Winston here in the first place. After that, I talked about my fantasy football teams and how things look for them. In the end, I reveal the player i'm covering from this week's Hard Hits and Cool Picks, IDP waiver wire article. Buckle up because I'm ready to slay the competition this week, are you? Have a great day, everyone, and may the tackles be with you.

In this episode of Bring the Pain, I reviewed the Monday Night Football game between the Ravens and the Chargers. I talked about how the Ravens stood strong at first while pointing it a few things that I saw that helped them win. Going into this game, a lot of us had some of our fantasy football teams in dire straights. I had to hold off Lamar Jackson myself with Daiyan Henley, and it worked. However, some of my league mates cried foul play when the team I was playing left two players on byes in his starting positions. With playoff seeding so close this year, something like that dies make a difference, but you didn't see my whining. After that, I decided to reveal my top five Thanksgiving day foods before ending things with an IDP dessert from my Hard Hits and Cool Picks waiver wire article that was posted today. Have a great day, everyone, and may the tackles be with you. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.

In this episode of Bring the Pain, I'm back and ready to dominate the NFL's week 12 with all of you. That starts at Dr. Roto, and with all of these wonderful tools at your disposal, you'll be our rich friend in no time. One of our experts just took first place four five-digits in a tournament on Monday night. So I thought I would explain how he did it, and honestly, it started with two players, and then the optimizer did the rest. After that,  I decided to unleash the painbringer on a troll that wanted to get froggy with your neighborhood IDP hero. After explaining why a service like us is beneficial, I switch gears to the Scott Fish Bowl 14. I give a huge shout out to my Predator brotherhood as we roll six deep into round one of the playoffs. In the end, I covered one of my IDP waiver wire targets for this week from my Hard Hits and Cool Picks article that was released on the site today. It's time to buckle up and get ready for a wild ride in Planet Painbringer once again. Have a great day, everyone, and may the tackles be with you.

In this episode of Bring the Pain, I reviewed my last Heat-tastic MLB Bets of the day article from Friday. While baseball is still going on, you can still find bets and DFS lineups in our MLB sections on our Subs-Only Discord. After that, I get right into the player I'm highlighting today from my Hard Hits and Cool Picks, IDP article that just hit the site today. The player I highlighted is only owned in 17 percent of fantasy football leagues. That means if you want someone that has been laying the boom all year, you'll need to go check that out. In the end, I pay respect to the baseball legend Pete Rose. Feelings aside, I wanted to make sure that everyone knew my stance on this before and now after his passing. Rules are meant to be broken, but if we learn from our mistakes, shouldn't there be some sort of redemption in the end. Ask yourself this question and listen to my thoughts as I say goodbye to a superstar that I watched while growing up. Have a great day, everyone, and may the "bets" be with you.

In this episode of Bring the Pain, I reviewed both my Heat-tastic MLB bets of the day article from Friday and today's Hard Hits and Cool Picks, IDP waiver wire article. I started it off by talking about the props bets from Friday that definitely smashed going 4-1 for the night. That put that article at 55-37 for the year. After that, I talked about my hard hits and cool picks IDP article from last week, as well as the new players I highlighted this week. The players I have lined up this week are going to be staples in the league very soon. That's why you'll want to grab them off your waiver wire right now before it's too late. In the end, I talked about what makes my IDP waiver wire article different from other sites while still delivering players that will help you win your leagues, no matter the format. That's how you bring the pain to the competition, no matter if it's sportsbooks, DFS, or your seasonal leagues. Have a great day, everyone, and may the "bets" be with you.

In this episode of Bring the Pain, I talked about my recent Heat-tastic MLB Bets of the Day article, which didn't do too bad this week. With the help of Paul Goldschmidt and Jarren Duran, we were able to score some cash while moving to 51-36 for the year. Also, Jorge Soler has been banished to the land of no use for the remainder of the year where he deserves to be. In the end, I reviewed my latest Hard Hits and Cool Picks article that just dropped today. I highlighted one player from that article, leaving the rest of the good stuff for the website. Who is that player who could help you win money while also helping you win your seasonal leagues? I guess you'll have to tune in to find out. Have a great day, everyone, and may the bets plus tackles be with you.

What a treat to have 30 minutes during Pride Month with the one and only Jonathan Van Ness, who's out with a brand new children's book, Gorgeously Me! We're talking about how to create a culture of acceptance for kids who are different, but we touch on so much more. Like the book that traumatized Jonathan as a kid (eek!), their strongest memory of Barney, the importance to them of faith and spiritual connection, unpacking the mantra "I am exactly who I'm meant to be," optimism for the future, and some compelling advice for parents who want to raise our kids to be the best version of themselves. I can't wait for you to listen! Also, I have to humblebrag a little that Jonathan says I "slayed my Cool Pick of the Week" -- but theirs is fantastic too. Stick around to hear them both. ---- Thanks to our sponsor Premium Prep, the personalized college counseling service that helps with applications, financial aid, essay writing, and more.

Fresh off his viral commencement address at the University of Michigan, I'm joined by best-selling author Brad Meltzer. (Yes, that Brad Meltzer from the "I Am..." biographical children's books we all own!) He talks about his thoughts on kindness as a "naive ideal worth fighting for," the need for more empathy online, his love for the Harlem Globetrotters, and why he believes one person can change the world. Plus, he shares some deeply personal stories of kindness that changed his own life, including one in a random men's room. You are going to love what he has to say.

In this episode of Bring the Pain, I review my recent betting article that is exclusive to the subscribers on the Dr. Roto website. Going forward, you can count on me doing this on Tuesdays like I did with my Hard Hits and Cool Picks article during football season. That being said, I first talked about the players who made the article this week and if they hit their prop bet. After that, I add those totals to my seasonal total, giving us an idea of how many units we'll be up by the end of the year. In the end, I talk about one of those players,  Spencer Strider, whose injury has the entire baseball world holding their breath. I want to thank all of you for your support, and I can't wait to slay the sportbooks once again. Have a great day, everyone, and may the bets be with you. 

In this episode of Bring the Pain, I reveal the players who have won the first ever Painbringer IDP awards. With so many seasonal and dynasty IDP league drafts going on right now, you'll want to know who the top players at each position were. Some of the players that won might surprise you, and that doesn't mean the other players should be discredited. Outside of a few touchdowns by one of the players, this diamond in the rough could have finished first and he was under one percent owned when I mentioned him last year on my, Hard Hits and Cool Picks show. Who are these players, and why did they cause so many problems for opposing offenses while leading some of us to championships. This all leads up to the end, where I crown the first ever, Painbringers All-Pro IDP Defensive team for 2023. Find out which players make the list as I take you for a walk on the defensive side of things. Have a great day, everyone, and may the tackles be with you.

On this episode of Bring the Pain, I review my latest Hard Hits and Cool Picks article, which just dropped at Dr Roto today.  I started out the episode talking about the wins from last week before diving deep into the waiver wire for this week. With many fantasy football leagues already done or teams being eliminated, there may be some great players dropped for roster space right now. If that's the case, you can head to our subs, only Discord for questions about those players. If now,  then you'll want to check out these gridiron bruisers, who are ready to smash the competition this week. With this being the last Hard Hits and Cool Picks article for this season, I want to thank all of you for the support you have shown myself and the rest of the staff at Dr Roto. You're all truly the best and are the main reason we do this. Now, let's win these championships this week. Have a great day, everyone, and may the tackles be with you.

On the latest episode of Bring the Pain, I review my latest Hard Hits and Cool Picks article, that just dropped. I start the show off like normal, talking about the wins from last week before heading into the new article. E.J. Speed and Khaleke Hudson showed us once again that your normal starters aren't the only beasts in the league. IDP players like them, are always on the waiver wire and show why it's ok to stream defensive players. That's why I love doing this article, as well as my Heats of the Week. At the end, I talk about my seasonal teams before viewing the battle horn and getting us all ready for our championship games this week. Let's bring the pain to the competition and show no mercy. Have a great day everyone and may the tackles be with you.

On this episode of Bring the Pain, I review my recent Hard Hits and Cool Picks article, that just hit the website today. With the NFL's week 16 here, most of us are in our fantasy football league's semi-finals match up. That means there is no other choice but to make bold moves and dominate your opponents in every single way. That starts at IDP, because when you're in an IDP league, you need the best players in the best position, to help your team win. The players mentioned in this article, especially one, has sparked a passion in me to make a challenge, so that we can slay the competition together. Have a great day everyone and may the tackles be with you.

On the latest episode of Bring the Pain, I go over my recent, Hard Hits and Cool Picks article, for the NFL's week 14. With the final week of fantasy football's regular season here, you have no choice but to be everything you have to the competition. The players listed below are in great spots and with bye weeks in full effect, you have to be sharper than your opponents. That means you need to hit the waiver wire hard so that you can make the playoffs. I also mention a player on offense that is around 16 percent owned, that could win you a championship. Find out who that player is while I talk about where a couple of my fantasy football teams are, as we get ready to slay the competition this week. Have a great day everyone and may the tackles be with you.

On the latest episode of Bring the Pain, I go over my recent, Hard Hits and Cool Picks article for the NFL's week 13. With only two weeks left in most fantasy football leagues, you can bet that the team at Dr. Roto has your back. I start off the podcast going over my last weeks plays of the week which put this article and my IDP Heat Check of the Week, at 40-5-2 for the year. After that, I talk reveal my new players and went they'll be in a good position this week and going forward, for the rest of the season. At the end, I briefly talk about my seasonal teams and how these injuries have led to some really close races between multiple teams, to make the playoffs. Get ready for a wild ride as I go all out once more to get your jacked up for the waiver wire. Have a great day everyone and may the points be with you.

With Thanksgiving around the corner and the waiver wire tomorrow, it's safe to say it's crunch time in fantasy football. That means your IDP players will need every point they can get, so that your teams come out on top. In this week's Hard Hits and Cool Picks article, I revealed three new players that are in great spots going forward. One of these players just came back from the IR, so that means he might be available on your waiver wires. While doing my normal review from last week and my thoughts on the players this week, I also talk about some bad beats I took this weekend. That means you'll want to buckle up and hold on for a ride on the wild side. Have a great day and a happy Thanksgiving everyone and as always, may the tackles be with you.

We all say we want to raise kids who are happy, healthy, and can be their authentic selves. So what happens when your kid is becoming someone who's really different from what we had imagined? That's the story Kate Brookes tells in the wonderful Transister: Raising Twins in a Gender-Bending World. She's incredibly forthcoming, funny, reflective, and supportive, whether you're raising kids who defy traditional norms of gender and sexuality--or are just individuals in their own way. Really, this is a meaningful conversation for any parent whose kids are on a path to be their own selves, and I'm grateful for Kate's time, her honesty, and her humor through it all. - Liz Follow Spawned on Apple: bit.ly/spawnedshow Follow Spawned on Spotify: Here Find Liz Gumbinner: Substack, Threads, Instagram, Twitter, Post Find Kate Brookes: transistermom.com, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon Find Cool Mom Picks: Twitter, Facebook, Instagram Shownotes, links from this episode, info on our Cool Picks of the week: Cool Mom Pick Podcast Page Subscribe to get even more Cool Picks of the Week in your inbox once a week: coolmompicks.com/subscribe/ Learn more about your ad choices.
