Alex and GreGor brainstorm wild combos using Weapon X, Killmonger, and Tombstone, but ultimately worry that it falls prey to Stardust and Cosmo far too easily.Join Alex Coccia and special guest GreGor as they chat about this and more on this episode of The Snap Chat—and catch Cozy and Alex every week as they discuss all things Marvel Snap.Have a question or comment for Cozy and Alex?

The hosts break down the insane skill expression, the power of Quick Draw triggers, and the incredible synergy with the newly buffed 3/6 Crystal.Jane Foster (Fractured Frontier): A powerhouse 3-Drop with a massive ceiling (3/12), but Binks vents about the frustrating RNG of her targeted buffs.Psylocke (Fractured Frontier): Why this high-ceiling cost-reducer is currently being jammed into the wrong decks, and how she could revolutionize Ramp and Combo archetypes.Red Wolf: Is this new 2/1 scaler the next Chamber?

"Once he gets grey, once he gains a few pounds, God forbid he gets sick — she's out the door like a greased rat out of an aqueduct. And she'll have half his money on the way out." Brian and Alison read a Medium feature on the manosphere, a place where misogyny wears a suit and the influencers are "polished, sham-rich men in Lamborghinis," while playing REPO. Also: which income quintiles the marriage collapse actually reaches, the article author's promise that the fight is against the structure of patriarchy rather than men, and whether that survives finding patriarchy in a man standing on a bridge. "If you can find patriarchy in a man who's about to jump off a bridge — where can you not find it?"

As the creator of Nothing Much Happens and the author of the audio novel On the Street Where You Live, Kathryn Nicolai has built an interconnected world where listeners can feel safe, soften their guard and step away from the noise of modern life. In this conversation, Kathryn explains how 20 years of teaching yoga prepared her to speak to millions of listeners, why she created a genre she calls “healing fiction,” and how storytelling can quietly bring people into a state of mindfulness without asking them to meditate. She also shares the discipline behind her enormous creative output, the role safety plays in making art, the practices she uses to regulate her own mind and why our lives were never meant to be constantly optimized. This is a conversation about sleep, creativity, community and creating softer places to land—in our minds, our neighbourhoods and our lives. EXCITING STUFF!

Welcome back, WIFs.This week, Lauren and Michelle take Cozy Conversations on the road for a very special live podcast recorded at Brewpoint Craft in Elmhurst, Illinois, surrounded by a room full of fellow book lovers, readers, and everyone who has ever confidently declared, "I swear I'll read more."Together with a live audience, the sisters dive into the simple joy of reading and why it's become so much harder to stay focused in a world filled with endless scrolling, notifications, and constant distractions. They explore what books have meant throughout different seasons of their lives, the stories that have stayed with them, and why making time to read can feel like one of the greatest acts of self-care.Along the way, Lauren and Michelle reminisce about childhood reading memories, favorite bookstores and libraries, beloved authors, and the excitement of finding a book you simply couldn't put down. They also chat about how reading invites us to slow down, sparks our imagination, and creates space for curiosity and empathy.The conversation is filled with laughter, thoughtful reflections, and plenty of relatable moments for anyone who's struggled to finish a book—or has a growing stack on their nightstand waiting for "the right time."Most of all, this episode is a reminder that reading isn't about keeping up with a yearly goal or checking another title off a list. It's about giving yourself permission to unplug, get comfortable, and enjoy the quiet magic that only a good book can bring.Press play, get cozy, and join Lauren and Michelle for this special live Cozy Conversation celebrating books, nostalgia, and the simple pleasure of turning the next page.Because sometimes the coziest place to be is between the covers of a really good book.Resources:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠A Cozy Night For Readers⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Us!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Shop Our Seasonal Candles⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check Out Our Website⁠

How useful would your superpower really be? Could you save the world… or would you simply be able to grow your fingernails 1% faster? Joe is joined by returning guest Stephen Adams for another hilarious and heartfelt episode of Wise_N_Nerdy, where fatherhood, fandom, and plenty of laughs collide. The episode kicks off with the Question of the Week: "What would be the most useless superpower imaginable?" The conversation quickly spirals into comedic territory as the hosts imagine powers that no superhero would ever want. From instantly knowing when milk has expired to voluntarily making your eyes lose focus, Joe and Stephen prove that not every superpower deserves its own comic book. As always, the Roll of the Dice determines the journey, landing first on "Daddy, Tell Me A Story." Joe and Stephen reminisce about some of the mischievous adventures from their younger days, sharing stories of sneaking into places they probably shouldn't have been. Joe recalls his family floating down a river to watch hydroplane races without paying admission, while other tales include clever movie theater side-door strategies and youthful antics that make for unforgettable memories. Next comes a generous helping of Bad Dad Jokes, featuring groan-worthy contributions from Bob, Stephen, and Joe. The puns are terrible, the timing is impeccable, and the laughs are absolutely unavoidable. The dice then roll into "How Do I...?", where the hosts discuss one of the most valuable life skills parents can teach: critical thinking. In an age of social media, misinformation, and endless online content, Joe and Stephen explore practical ways to encourage children to ask questions, evaluate sources, think independently, and—perhaps most importantly—not believe everything they read on the internet. From there, it's time for "What Are You Nerding Out About?" Stephen shares his enthusiasm for HITMAN World of Assassination, praising the freedom, creativity, and replayability that have made the series a favorite among stealth gaming fans. Joe, meanwhile, has been enjoying the cozy fantasy anime The Forsaken Saintess and Her Foodie Roadtrip in Another World, celebrating its relaxing atmosphere, charming characters, and comforting blend of fantasy and food. The episode wraps up with "Parliament of Papas," where the hosts react to a Reddit story involving a groomsman who refuses to buy a green suit for an upcoming wedding because he'll only wear it once—and it's going to be unbearably hot. The discussion turns into a fun debate about wedding expectations, balancing comfort with commitment, and when it's worth making a sacrifice for the people you care about.

The Voidcat vigil continues. One of the central aspects of the social system of patriarchy is that it teaches men to be insecure. Because patriarchy is at it's core, a dominance-based hierarchy where everyone has to compete for rank and place in an imaginary pecking order, men in particular, can get sucked into this “game.” Yes....really. Also REPO.

Can a brand built on purpose survive when its mission is put at risk?  The hosts dive into the escalating conflict between Ben & Jerry's and its parent company over funding cuts to the ice cream maker's philanthropic foundation, debating whether a brand so closely tied to a social mission can preserve its identity after acquisition and how the dispute could influence consumer loyalty in an increasingly competitive premium ice cream category.  The discussion also examines how founders should approach purpose-driven branding, with early-stage sparkling water brand Atomico serving as an example of a young company that integrates its mission into its business without overshadowing the product itself.  The hosts also sample and review a variety of emerging products, including South Chicago Packing's Wagyu Beef Tallow Spray, Cozy's refrigerated snack bars made with grass-fed butter, Bakeful's better-for-you brownies, muffins and donuts, MixMix THC beverage stick packs, and Muffits protein mini muffins. Show notes: 0:20: On Tap. Social Scoops No More? Space Age Sparkling Water. Tallow & Butter. Munchin' On Muffins. The hosts preview two upcoming community events: the Taste Radio Chicago Meetup at Pilot Project Brewing on Aug. 13 and a Nombase webinar featuring executives from Goodles and Culture Pop on July 28. They then explore whether a purpose-driven brand can preserve its identity after being acquired, and how changes to its philanthropic commitments could reshape consumer perception. As a counterpoint, they spotlight an emerging functional sparkling water brand that supports STEM education through NASA Space Camp scholarships. Later, Melissa highlights a beefy cooking spray, Ray shares a pair of brands—one making better-for-you yet indulgent snack bars and another reimagining Hostess-style treats for today's consumers. Mike stirs things up with powdered drink mixes, and the episode wraps with a discussion of protein snacks—because, of course, it does.

Pastor Jeff Osborne returns to Citizen Church today as our guest speaker, back after his powerful message at our Rally Conference earlier this year. Pastor Jeff is bringing a message titled "Are You Cozy?" from John 5:1-6, the story of the man at the pool of Bethesda who had been sick for thirty-eight years. Jesus asks him a question that cuts right to the heart: "Do you want to be made well?" Pastor Jeff will walk us through four questions that we all need to sit with: Do you have a condition you've grown too comfortable with? Do you recognize your season? Do you have a bed you're still holding onto? And do you realize who is speaking to you? Sometimes the thing keeping us stuck isn't the condition itself, it's how cozy we've gotten with it. Come ready to be stirred.

There comes a point when staying costs more than leaving.For Ulonda Harris, the journey to belonging began with burnout. After years of feeling exhausted by the pace and rising cost of life in Texas, she never imagined that living abroad would be part of her story—even though her daughter had already built a life in Spain. But one late-night YouTube search sent her down a rabbit hole that would change everything.Today, Ulonda calls Zaragoza, Spain, home.In this episode, Ulonda shares how she went from feeling stuck to creating a softer, more intentional life abroad. As the creator of Locating Cozy, she's helping other Black women redefine what home, freedom, and peace can look like—one intentional decision at a time.Together, we explore the realities of burnout, the courage it takes to choose a different path, and why moving abroad wasn't about running away—it was about finally choosing herself.In this episode, you'll learn:Why the true cost of staying isn't always financialWhat it's really like to build a life in Zaragoza, SpainWhy community and support can make all the difference when starting overHow Ulonda is helping other Black women "locate their cozy" and create lives rooted in peaceIf you've ever wondered whether there's more to life than simply getting by, this conversation is a reminder that sometimes the greatest investment you can make is in your own peace.Send us Fan MailA powerful conversation about freedom, expansion, possibility, and the quiet awakening happening among Black women around the world.
