Dead Funny History: Emma of Normandy. Join historian Greg Jenner for a fast-paced, funny and fascinating journey through the life of Emma of Normandy - twice Queen of England, mother of kings, and the medieval Kris Jenner of royal politics.This episode of Dead Funny History is packed with jokes, sketches and sound effects that bring the past to life for families and Key Stage 2 learners. Emma's story is full of twists, betrayals and Viking invasions. Born in Normandy around 985 CE, she married King Aethelred the Unready at just 17, became queen, and had three children including future king Edward the Confessor.But when the Vikings invaded, Emma fled to France, only to return and marry the new Viking king, Cnut. That made her queen again, while Cnut was still married to someone else. Cue royal drama, competitive parenting, and a lot of people named Ælfgifu.Emma's life was a whirlwind of political alliances, family feuds and strategic marriages. She was exiled, had her treasures stolen, and saw her children fight for the throne. She even spread rumours to undermine her stepson Harold Harefoot, and helped her favourite son Harthacnut become king - only for him to dig up his half-brother's body and throw it in a swamp.Expect parodies, sketch comedy, and a quiz to test what you've learned. It's history with heart, humour and high production value. Perfect for curious kids, families, and fans of You're Dead To Me.Written by Gabby Hutchinson Crouch, Athena Kugblenu and Dr Emma Nagouse Host: Greg Jenner Performers: Mali Ann Rees and John-Luke Roberts Producer: Dr Emma Nagouse Associate Producer: Gabby Hutchinson Crouch Audio Producer: Emma Weatherill Script Consultant: Professor Elizabeth Tyler Production Coordinator: Liz Tuohy Production Manager: Jo Kyle Sound Designer: Peregrine AndrewsA BBC Studios Production

President's Day Weekend 2025 started like any other legendary Colorado ski day: fresh “pow,” bluebird vibes, and me—Skier Sof—feeling like the queen of Tucker Mountain. Copper locals know Tucker used to be snowcat- and hike-only, which gave it this mysterious backcountry allure. Now it's still expert terrain, but with lift access…and on Presidents Day, that means crowded.But hey, what's a little crowd when you're vibing on run #5, skiing powder next to Valentine's and Boulderado with a good friend, and life feels like a Patagonia commercial?Spoiler: It all goes downhill. Literally. And painfully.  The Scene: Fresh Powder, Bad Visibility, and One Very Unpredictable Skier (and no, the unpredictable skier was not me)My friend Ryan and I were shredding through some fantastic powder. We reached the bottom of Boulderado, where you have to cut hard left through a tree trail to avoid looping all the way back to the chair.Only two sketchy paths go through these trees. You need to keep up the speed, loosen your legs, and blast through bouncing along till you get to the chair. One dude was sitting in the absolute worst possible spot. Not moving. Not looking around. Not reading the room!I told Ryan, “Follow me, I'm going now!”And that's when the guy—out of nowhere—decides to stand up and slowly drift right into my line without looking uphill.PSA: ALWAYS look uphill before you move. Don't be a “Jerry.” Yield to the above skiers. These things matter.I tried to change my line to the lower track, but visibility was trash: I had my sun lenses on when I should have swapped to snow lenses (don't get lazy, ladies and gents!). I caught the top of a massive mogul, went flying, landed, but my feet were suddenly two feet apart—never a good sign when skiing trees.Then came mogul #2.The left leg slid down it.The right leg stayed at the top.My legs did a pretty epic split that nobody asked for.Cue: the pop of my ACL Fired off like a gunshot (I have the video to prove it). A full tear. I also partially tore my right MCL and my meniscus (just for funsies).  The Fall, the Flailing, and the Insta360 That Captured It AllI twisted, flew over the “do not cross” rope (10/10 do not recommend), and slammed into soft powder at the base of a tree. My left ski did NOT release—because my bindings weren't adjusted after losing weight—and my leg twisted way farther than human legs should.I screamed like an angry man who just lost a Mill in the stock market. It was not cute.Ryan came over the hill, saw me lying up with my heat against a tree, panicked, thinking I broke my neck or something like that, whipped off his snowboard, climbed down into the powder, and dug my buried leg out like a heroic golden retriever. “My Hero.” No, seriously, this guy is a great friend, especially since I just ruined his epic ski day. As I writhed in pain, I told him, “Find the camera,” because naturally that matters more… He found the Insta360.Another skier—who had literally followed my line earlier went to call ski patrol.Ski irony is alive and well.  Ski Patrol to the Rescue (Eventually)There's a patrol hut at the top of Tucker, but storms were rolling in, and it took about 45 minutes before they reached me. By then, I'd somehow crawled out of the trees (pain makes you feral) and tried to stand on that leg—nope.Once the full patrol team arrived, they loaded me into the rescue sled for the hour-long journey to Copper Mountain's Center Village. There were blizzard-like snow conditions that covered my face in about 5 minutes. It was about 15 degrees Fahrenheit. A full team of 5 was needed to get me out of the trees. They snowmobiled me up Copper Bowl and skied me down the front face of the mountain. At least I finally got to go snowmobiling!Crowds gasped like I was being transported post-avalanche. I could see nothing, and hear a whole lot, so I was desperately hoping no one T-boned the sled while the patrol kept yelling, “MOVE! LOOK UP! ON YOUR LEFT! YIELD!”It was like being royalty—if royalty were frozen, freaking out, and strapped to a tiny snow coffin. At least the ski patrol guy even kept checking on me to make sure I was still alive.  Diagnosis: Basically… Everything ToreUrgent Care X-rays said: “Good news, no broken bones!”MRI later said: “Bad news…everything else is broken.”Final injury roster:Full ACL tearPartial right MCL tearTorn meniscusMassive bone bruise on the left side of my kneeA whole lot of regret I stayed in Colorado for a month doing PT and trying to maintain dignity and not slip on the ice with crutches. Eventually, I flew home, got an MRI, and scheduled surgery for April 24.  ACL Surgery & the Recovery GrindSurgery went great, but recovery? OOF.Two weeks of sleeping in the braceCrutches for two monthsPT bending (which basically felt like they were breaking), my knee twice a weekPain meds (which my body hated), but I so needed because the pain was astronomicalAlmost fainted in PT twice because of the drugs and physical exhaustionI learned Advil was my friend after the first few weeks and ditched the nasty hydrocodoneLots of tears, lots of naps, lots of gratitude when I could A) not be in so much pain, B) get off the meds, C) walk again without crutches! By week six, pain finally chilled out, and the muscle-rebuilding process started. Every tiny improvement felt like winning Olympic gold. Its the little things in life.  What This Injury Taught Me (AKA: The Travel Brats Safety Sermon)1. People on the mountain are unpredictable.Even on expert runs, don't assume anyone knows what they're doing, or where they are going. And most likely they do not care about YIELDING!2. Altitude is no joke.Hydrate, acclimate, and don't push your body if you've been traveling or skiing hard and are feeling the fatigue from it.3. Train before ski trips.Strong quads save knees. Don't skip leg day. I repeat: don't skip leg day.4. Pace yourself.Take breaks. Take a day off on long trips. Ski easier runs when fatigue kicks in.5. Gear matters.Helmet alwaysProper lenses for conditionsRegular ski tuningCheck your bindings if your weight changes! 6. Ski with a buddy.Especially in trees, bowls, or sketchy conditions. My friend being there changed everything.7. Stay positive.This injury was rough. But it could've been so much worse. I'm grateful, healing, and counting the days until I'm back on snow—stronger, smarter, and maybe a little sassier.  Final Thoughts: Misadventure or Badge of Honor?At The Travel Brats, we believe travel isn't just beaches and cocktails—it's wipeouts, lessons learned, and stories that make you laugh later (like… much later).My ACL tear was painful, expensive, and humbling. But it taught me how resilient the human body (and spirit!) can be. And when I finally click back into my skis, I'll be ready—with sharpened edges, proper goggles, adjusted bindings, and a whole lot more patience for the unpredictable humans around me.Until then…Stay safe, stay adventurous, and ski smart, Brats. ❄️❤️⛷️

In this episode, we break down A FEW GOOD MEN — one of the most intense courtroom dramas ever made and a master class in dialogue, tension, and character conflict. We dive into Aaron Sorkin's sharp writing, Rob Reiner's direction, and how the film creates explosive drama using nothing but ego, truth, and moral pressure. We analyze Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson's legendary confrontation, why "You can't handle the truth!" became iconic, and how the movie turns ideology into its own form of warfare. From the courtroom structure to the character motivations, we explore why A Few Good Men still holds up as one of the smartest and most gripping dramas ever put on film.   Chapters: 00:00 RIP Rob Reiner 6:02 The true story behind this movie 11:01 Perfectly written characters 18:11 Every side in this movie has a good argument 21:16 Jack Nicholson stories 25:05 The perfect ending 31:45 Why Aaron Sorkin is a G 35:38 Love interest or love interest not? 39:35 Demi Moore... 42:13 Behind the scenes stories 48:32 The details hidden in the dialogue 53:01 Robert Richardson's resume is insane 55:38 Respect is actually disrespectful 57:40 Very much not legally accurate 1:00:37 Our official rating & final thoughts 1:04:09 Cue the music

In episode #261, you'll discover why your exhaustion isn't just about workload, long hours, or a packed calendar, and why, even when life looks "successful" on paper, your day-to-day experience can still feel heavy and flat. You'll learn how constant self-monitoring, impression management, over-apologizing, and social over-functioning quietly drain your nervous system, and what to do instead so you feel more steady, present, and energized without becoming louder or someone you're not. If you're intelligent, responsible, and used to being the person who "holds it all together," this episode will help you understand your energy leaks at a nervous-system level and start reclaiming a version of social presence that feels congruent, grounded, and impossible to overlook.  **  Don't even know where to begin in improving your interpersonal skills? Are you ready to leave social stress behind and go from where you are to where you want to be?

Rumble Falls is the kind of sleepy mining town where the neon flickers, the saxophone never sleeps, and somebody is always “accidentally” falling into a shaft. Into this glitter-dusted grit strolls a most 80s power-couple: Tycho Brahe—yes, the 16th-century Danish astronomer with the polished brass nose—reborn by unexplained TV science and forever quoting the heavens, and Mrs. Longfellow—cocktail-wielding socialite, magazine maven, and problem-solver who can spot a murder motive faster than she can finish a bourbon. Think Hart to Hart chemistry, Simon & Simon stakeouts, and Murder, She Wrote coincidence—all poured over crushed ice and served with a cheeky umbrella. The unaired two-hour pilot drops our lovers into “A Case of Miss Dynamite,” where a pageant queen goes boom, a mayor sweats rosewater, and a foreman insists a lit stick of dynamite is a “romance candle.” Crane shots you can practically hear, freeze-frame laughs you can definitely feel, and a theme song that says “lighthearted crime show” before the first commercial bumper. Tycho charts trajectories and blood spatter like star maps; Mrs. Longfellow reads people like a society page. The clues point left-handed, the alibis go right out the window, and every time Tycho's about to solve it, she solves him instead. Do they crack the case? Eventually. Do they sizzle? Constantly. (Cue the rim-lit promo still, police tape just out of focus, and a jet that keeps “turning around” for one more kiss.) In true 80s fashion, the town's brass can't stand them, the townsfolk adore them, and the captions were supposed to explain everything… not that anyone read those during the key change. The result is a gloriously anachronistic, neon-noir valentine to prime-time sleuthing: part telescope, part tumbler, all chemistry. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It's Christmas, which means two things: Kristin's wearing a periodic-table tree shirt, and I'm reminiscing about the worst cafeteria meal in VA history (“brown meal,” may it never return). But the real adventure this week? Our kid suddenly developed mysterious brown patches on her skin, smooth, painless, and deeply unsettling for two parents whose medical degrees contain zero pediatrics. Cue the panic Googling, the advice nurse, and the pediatrician casually wiping it off with an alcohol pad like a magic trick. Then we dive headfirst into microbiology, where we rediscover that: Anaerobes “can't breathe fresh air,” Encapsulated bacteria are the gym bros of the microbe world, andnd urease-positive organisms somehow got saddled with the mnemonic P CHUNKS. Takeaways: Terra Firma-Forme Dermatosis: The completely benign, extremely weird skin condition that wipes right off with alcohol. Holiday Clinic Life: Why no one wants their eyes dilated on Christmas Eve (except maybe for the sparkly lights). Anaerobe Mayhem: “Can't breathe fresh air” and other microbiology mnemonics that should probably be illegal. Encapsulated Bacteria: The microscopic linebackers that even your spleen has strong opinions about. P CHUNKS: The urease-positive mnemonic you'll wish you could forget. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live  We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

100 episodes?! Cue the confetti, friends!

In this Christmas episode, we break down DIE HARD — the action movie that quietly became the blueprint for the entire genre & the greatest christmas movie ever made. We analyze why John McClane works so well as an everyman hero, how the confined setting of Nakatomi Plaza creates relentless tension, and why the movie's pacing is nearly flawless. We also dive into Alan Rickman's iconic performance as Hans Gruber, the sharp writing, and how Die Hard balances action, humor, and character better than almost any film before or since. Whether you watch it as a Christmas movie or the ultimate action classic, Die Hard remains one of the most perfectly constructed movies ever made — and we break down exactly why.   Chapters: 00:00 It's a Christmas movie 6:57 What makes John McClane a great character? 13:43 Everyone who was supposed to be John McClane 22:20 Alan Rickman almost refused to do this movie 25:47 What makes Hans a great villain 33:26 The movie is actually hilarious 39:51 How to perfectly do action 44:46 Cool facts about the filming location 48:59 Perfect exposition 55:24 Bruce Willis fake feet 56:35 A delightful detail you may have missed 58:14 Gray's theory on Al being a liar 59:59 Fun facts 1:08:28 Our official rating & final thoughts 1:14:04 Cue the music

Send in your music story!It's amazing how a show grows up. We started with wobbly mics and chaotic intros; now we're three and a half years in, juggling season three plans, holiday chaos, and a creator workflow that actually works most days. The conversation opens with gratitude and candor—what lasting commitment feels like when the calendar fills with family visits, three different Christmas dinners, and a sleep schedule that doesn't. We talk numbers without bragging and gear without gatekeeping, then admit the obvious: consistency is the hardest part.The heart of the episode sits behind an espresso machine. A customer drops sexist remarks at 6:30 a.m., and we unpack why speaking up matters, how teams set boundaries, and what real allyship looks like in service work. Minutes later, a smoky haze: the refrigerated display case is literally cooking the sandwiches. Cue problem-solving under pressure, a call to the manager, and a lot of quick thinking. Then the season's absurd punchline—syrup shortages, dark humor at the drive-thru, and a gut check to make sure people are actually okay. That's the theme: laugh at the chaos, but see the human first.We promise a music show and deliver: Wham's Last Christmas nudges Mariah from the holiday throne, sparking a smart chat on charts, nostalgia, and what makes a song “seasonal canon.” We widen the lens with 2025 music moments, from high-profile space stunts to the Grand Ole Opry's 100th birthday and industry reckonings that refuse to be PR-washed. No stan wars here—just a clear look at ownership, legacy, and accountability, and how those stories shape the way we listen.For a warm reset, we pop into a 90s-themed coffee shop with a working tube TV and retro posters, because third places are where culture sticks. We wrap with the perennial debate: which films are “real” Christmas movies—Gremlins, Die Hard, claymation classics, Elf—and why personal rituals matter more than rules. If you're into music culture, creator practice, and the strange comfort of holiday messiness, this one's a cozy ride with sharp edges.Enjoyed the episode?

It's mid-December, everyone's exhausted, and the podcast takes a hard turn into holiday chaos, Santa Village fallout, cursed t-shirts, and the revelation that someone out in the wild truly believed Coral may have once been married to a man. The gang processes this information… poorly.  This Week's Insanity:Santa Village Debrief: Bigger crowds, more vendors, snow machines, vegan banana cookies, and Coral dressed as Santa — complete with children, grown men, and at least one accidental husband moment.Holiday Logistics Spiral: Staff parties, book clubs, mystery bags, cookie swaps, pinball leagues, and a maybe-sorta Mikey Way signing that may have already happened.The Shirt: Jeff gifts Coral a deeply cursed t-shirt that must be blurred, beeped, and absolutely will be worn with no pants at some point in the near future.Gay News: Kim Kardashian invades Fortnite, confusing everyone. “Six-seven” discourse returns. No one knows what it means. Everyone argues anyway.What We're Watching: Slow Horses becomes the new obsession, Downton withdrawal continues, and Jeff unveils an aggressively detailed watchlist that proves he cannot relax.Coral's Corner: A coffee shop stranger asks if Coral was married… to a man.

In this episode, we break down KILL BILL: THE WHOLE BLOODY AFFAIR, Quentin Tarantino's complete revenge epic. We dive into how combining Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 reshapes the story, deepens The Bride's character, and enhances the emotional payoff. We analyze Tarantino's genre-blending mastery, the iconic action sequences, unforgettable characters, and how style, music, and structure turn pure violence into cinematic expression. From the anime sequence to the final confrontation with Bill, we explore why Kill Bill stands as one of Tarantino's boldest and most personal works.   Chapters: 00:00 The Whole Bloody Affair review 17:44 Tarantino knowing when to be violent 20:30 Building the mystery of Bill 28:08 Tarantino's Bruce Lee revenge 33:50 Gotta love Budd 39:46 Tarantino doesn't give a damn 42:26 The most iconic props 44:10 The controversy of the movie 50:12 Actors playing two roles 55:51 Tarantino changing the script because of Uma Thurman 1:01:33 Our official rating & final thoughts 1:07:11 Cue the music

Lost Tycho Brahe and Mrs. Longfellow 1985 TV Pilot Tycho Brahe & Mrs. Longfellow (1985) — "They're in love. With each other. And with danger." Rumble Falls is the kind of sleepy mining town where the neon flickers, the saxophone never sleeps, and somebody is always "accidentally" falling into a shaft. Into this glitter-dusted grit strolls a most 80s power-couple: Tycho Brahe—yes, the 16th-century Danish astronomer with the polished brass nose—reborn by unexplained TV science and forever quoting the heavens, and Mrs. Longfellow—cocktail-wielding socialite, magazine maven, and problem-solver who can spot a murder motive faster than she can finish a bourbon. Think Hart to Hart chemistry, Simon & Simon stakeouts, and Murder, She Wrote coincidence—all poured over crushed ice and served with a cheeky umbrella.   The unaired two-hour pilot drops our lovers into "A Case of Miss Dynamite," where a pageant queen goes boom, a mayor sweats rosewater, and a foreman insists a lit stick of dynamite is a "romance candle." Crane shots you can practically hear, freeze-frame laughs you can definitely feel, and a theme song that says "lighthearted crime show" before the first commercial bumper. Tycho charts trajectories and blood spatter like star maps; Mrs. Longfellow reads people like a society page. The clues point left-handed, the alibis go right out the window, and every time Tycho's about to solve it, she solves him instead. Do they crack the case? Eventually. Do they sizzle? Constantly. (Cue the rim-lit promo still, police tape just out of focus, and a jet that keeps "turning around" for one more kiss.)   In true 80s fashion, the town's brass can't stand them, the townsfolk adore them, and the captions were supposed to explain everything… not that anyone read those during the key change. The result is a gloriously anachronistic, neon-noir valentine to prime-time sleuthing: part telescope, part tumbler, all chemistry.  Credits (1985 pilot) ·         Written & Directed by Tom Konkle ·         Produced by Tom Konkle and Kurtis Bedford (Mindstream Audio) ·         Stephanie Dulli … Mrs. Longfellow ·         Tom Konkle … Tycho Brahe ·         Jude Gerard Prest … Mayor Gribbons ·         Kurtis Bedford … Lt. Hassellhoff ·         Jill Manglione … Darla / Barmaid ·         David Beeler … Foreman Steve ·         Andy Hartson-Bowyer … Narrator   (Never aired. Cult status inevitable.)

Send us a textSeason 3 Episode 16“Martin's Medical Mayhem: The Plot Thickens”In this week's episode, we catch up on what can only be described as Martin's trilogy of unfortunate health events—a saga that started calmly enough with a routine “Well Man” examination and rapidly unravelled into something straight out of a hospital drama.First came the Achilles disaster. One wrong move, one loud snap, and suddenly Martin is strapped into a moon-boot, sentenced to eight long weeks of hobbling around like a budget Stormtrooper. Spirits high, mobility low.Then, just as he was adjusting to life at half speed, a routine blood test decided to throw in a plot twist. What should have been a quick in-and-out appointment turned into a red-flag phone call from the GP, an urgent referral, and whispers of a chest infection with possible pneumonia. Cue the MRI tests, scans, monitoring, and a diagnosis that takes a nasty turn no one expected.We break down the timeline, the symptoms, the worry, and of course—Martin's own colourful retelling of events. From limping into clinics to being told off by nurses, to unexpected twists in the test results, this episode has the perfect mix of humour and heart.Join us as we unpack the chaos, support my mate, and discuss why Martin may genuinely qualify for his own loyalty card at the local West Suffolk hospital by now.Strap in—it's Martin, medicine, and mayhem in equal measure.#HeartTransplant#eatingdisorder#RareCondition#HealthJourney#LifeChangingDiagnosis#MentalHealth#Vulnerability#SelfCompassion#PostTraumaticGrowth#MedicalMiracle#BBCSports#Inspiration#Cardiology#Surgery#Podcast#Healthcare#HeartHealth#MedicalBreakthrough#EmotionalJourney#SupportSystem#HealthcareHeroes#PatientStories#CardiologyCare#MedicalJourney#LifeLessons#MentalWellness#HealthAwareness#InspirationalTalk#LivingWithIllness#RareDiseaseAwareness#SharingIsCaring#MedicalSupport#BBCReporter#HeartDisease#PodcastInterview#HealthTalk#Empowerment#Wellbeing#HealthPodcast#prostatecancer#Aid's#prostateCheck out our website at www.whostomanddick.comCheck out our website at www.whostomanddick.com

A man who needs no introduction: comedian, writer and TV host Jimmy Carr. In this conversation we find out what makes Jimmy tick and hear about his origin story: he tells Gyles about his childhood in Slough, and his close relationship with his charismatic mother.

We hear about what, if anything, is off-limits in comedy, and the importance of being present for your children. Gyles and Jimmy also discuss the distinction between charm and charisma. Plus we hear about Jimmy's new movie, Fackham Hall, out in the UK on December 12 2025 (today!) This is a revealing, wise and yes, charming, conversation with one of the most well-known comedians in the UK. In January 2026 Rosebud will be launching their subscribers' club: The Rosebud Family.

In this episode, we take a deep, honest look at the role your social identity plays in your success, especially in the rooms where influence, opportunity, and visibility matter most. If you've ever felt like your interpersonal skills lag behind your expertise, or that your social confidence doesn't match your level of accomplishment, this conversation will change how you see yourself. You'll learn why your brain continues recreating the same social experiences year after year, how emotional habits shape your identity, and why high achievers often hold onto outdated versions of themselves without realizing it. More importantly, you'll discover how to gently outgrow the identity that keeps you quiet, hesitant, or self-protective… and step into the version of you who thrives in every room you enter. We'll explore five essential principles for "reengineering" who you are being socially in 2026, from future-self rehearsal to micro-shifts that build confidence naturally. You'll walk away with a deeper understanding of why your next level requires becoming someone new, on purpose. This is your invitation to stop waiting for confidence and start creating it through identity.   **  Don't even know where to begin in improving your interpersonal skills?

Hello EICongregation! Welcome to content church!This week we're going into the depths of the discourse so that you don't have to. Charli XCX is getting heat for the quality of her newest Substack essay, Sydney Sweeney seems to be doing a 180 on her recent public attitude, fridges may or may not be sending people into psychosis- and we're breaking it down right here.Also in this episode: Oenone's algorithm has been hijacked by a sharp-jawed looksmaxxer called Clavicular. Confused? We've got you. Looksmaxxing is a subculture that emerged in incel forums and focuses on teaching men and boys how to optimise their appearance through grooming, cosmetic procedures and sometimes extreme lifestyle changes. We discuss the implications of this kind of content as it expands into the mainstream.And finally a woman in America is getting roasted up, down and side to side on the internet after proposing to her boyfriend of 14 years. She said: "I really wanna get married. We've been together for 14 years already. He hasn't proposed....So why not?” The internet replied: BECAUSE WE SAID SO. We discuss her decision to flip the tradition and whether shaming her for getting down on one knee is just another way to police women and tell them if they aren't chosen with a diamond ring then they aren't worthy.We hope you enjoy this episode and if you do- please leave us a rating and a review on your podcast player app. Ciao!

The "Boomer Habits" Younger Gens Started Doing Because They Realized They're Genius:Millennials and Gen Z might poke fun at “boomer habits,” but some of them are pure genius. From heated blankets to early dinners and comfy pants, we dive into the old-school habits the younger gens swear by.  How To Keep Your Spirits & Brain Bright This Holiday Season: The holidays can be tough, so we're sharing six brain-boosting tips from neurologist Dr. Joel Salinas to help you feel brighter—like picking up a new hobby, moving your body, and staying connected in whatever way you can.  What's Trending: We cover everything from K-pop Demon Hunters accolades to a Waymo birth, Gaga concert drama, property tax deadlines, National Lager Day, and the latest Powerball excitement. It's a little news, a little weird, and a lot to talk about.  Second Date Update: Shawn met Isabelle on Match and took her to a Thai place in Berkeley for date number one. He says she was cute, grounded, and had that contagious, full-body kind of laugh. They bonded over their dogs, favorite cooking shows, and horror-story dates from their past. Shawn thinks he crushed it… and now he wants to know what happened to her.  Wardrobe Drama: Things got interesting fast when Marcus walked in wearing a shirt Taylor's ex practically lived in. Cue the debate: should Taylor buy Marcus a new shirt?  Good News: We break down the story behind the “29-year-old grad behind the landline phone.” Stanford grad Catherine Goetze is reviving retro tech with Bluetooth landline-style phones that help people unplug. Gen Z and Gen Alpha are buying them up—and thousands of units later, the analog comeback is real.

1DullGeek casually announces he's signed a contract for a Czech-built TL Sparker and will spend a month in Prague building it – because apparently "24 cubic feet of cargo space" (more than his compact SUV!) justifies international aircraft construction. The only minor detail? He has absolutely nowhere to hangar this composite beauty that "costs more than his house." Cue the deep dive into "Hangar Hell" – where waiting lists stretch to 2038, car detailing businesses occupy hangars, and Mark realizes he's been "a wholesale menace in every capacity to an airport." Meanwhile, Brian's gone full on into written tests, knocking out instrument ground instructor and fundamentals of instruction in two weeks because "the sponginess of my brain is kind of working at the moment." Plus: heated seats, cup holders, and the eternal question of whether N633K (a.k.a. "N-GEEK") will ever see the inside of an actual hangar.Upcoming Event:The Thaden Invasion Fly-In - March 13-15, 2026, Bentonville, Arkansas (VBT)RSVP at midlifepilotpodcast.com - "If half the RSVPs show up, we're gonna have a real good time.

In this episode, we break down The Menu (2022) — a darkly funny, deeply disturbing satire that skewers elitism, art, and obsession. We discuss Ralph Fiennes' chilling performance as Chef Slowik, Anya Taylor-Joy's grounded perspective as Margot, and how the movie blends horror and comedy to make a brutal statement about the culture of perfection and privilege. We analyze the symbolism behind each course, the tension that builds throughout the film, and how The Menu uses its setting to explore control, creativity, and the cost of art. Whether you laughed, squirmed, or left hungry for more, this is one of the most brilliantly twisted movies of the decade — and we're breaking down exactly why it works so well.   Chapters: 00:00 What happened to good short movies? 3:25 What you notice on second watch 7:12 Where the idea for the movie came from 9:54 Why did Margot survive? 18:16 The Seven Deadly Sins 21:22 Why Tyler made the biggest mistake 24:02 You just love to hate these characters 38:29 The chef is fair in his evil plan 43:22 Our official rating & final thoughts 47:23 Cue the music

Hey EICrackers, merry Friday...get ready for a magical, festive &... fatigued, episode!First up, Wicked For Good. We all went down the yellow brick road to the cinema to see the sequel. The story picks up after Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) has fled the Emerald City and been branded the "Wicked Witch of the West" by the Wizard (Jeff Goldblum) and Madame Morrible (Michelle Yeoh). Glinda (Ariana Grande), now "Glinda the Good," struggles with her public role as the Wizard's associate while her friendship with Elphaba is tested. The film focuses on their final journey to see each other with empathy and change Oz "for good". We get into it.Next! We don't know if you've heard, but Christmas is coming. How do we know this? Because the annual supermarket/high street Christmas adverts have dropped in the UK. High street festive ads have become peak Christmas culture in the UK. For our non-UK listeners, Lena Dunham did a fairly good poke at this in Too Much with the John Lewis Rita Ora playing Santa ad. So this year, we're going to take a look at some of the big ones that have dropped.And finally... from Christmas Ads to CHRIST, not another ad. In a piece on Substack, Hannah Glenn explores her own fatigue with advertising, in a world where everything and everyone seems to be trying to sell her something.

But is this even possible—or profitable? Ben breaks down the logistics while Skin wonders why KT suddenly starts talking about his neighbors mid-story. Things take a Texas twist when the team discusses a drone mishap in Waco that left thousands without internet after an Amazon delivery drone snapped a cable mid-flight. Cue the jokes about AI, coyotes, and whether technology is moving too fast for comfort.And then… the conversation takes a wild turn: sex robots.

This week on the Inside EMS podcast, Dr. Peter Antevy returns for another round in the hot seat, and he's not holding back. In this jam-packed episode, he and host Chris Cebollero tackle trending topics in prehospital care — from the expanding role of whole blood and plasma, to the frustrating gaps in the AHA's 2025 guidelines. You'll hear real-world success stories (like the cardiac arrest survivor who's back on the tennis court), why dual sequential defibrillation (DSD) should already be your go-to, and the cost-benefit realities of starting a whole blood program. Dr. Antevy also dives into the science behind glycocalyx damage and how plasma could change how we treat sepsis, TBI and burns in the field. Whether you're a medic, medical director or just passionate about pushing EMS forward, this episode delivers practical insight, bold opinions and a whole lot of inspiration. Quotable takeaways from Dr. Antevy “The medical establishment does not understand the value of what EMS brings to the table. They don't understand the complexity.” “When we said, ‘We'll do the whole blood,' what did the surgeons do? They went up in arms: ‘What do you mean you're giving whole blood? Bring them to us. We'll give the whole blood.' No, no, no. We are part of the chain of survival, too.” “EMS is a subspecialty in the house of medicine. We all need to rise up to make the hospital folks and the academics aware that EMS is important for trauma, for stroke, for pediatrics, for cardiac. We are the ones who can help bring up those outcomes and that's why I love this field.” Additional resources:  AHA 2025 updates are here: Cue the overreactions and the protocol rewrites On-demand: Bringing whole blood to the front lines of EMS Stop the bleed, fill the tank – The New Orleans EMS blood program Whole blood in EMS promises a revolution in resuscitation Enjoying Inside EMS?

In episode #256, we unpack the real reason some professionals are welcomed, remembered, and trusted, while others blend into the background.  Susan breaks down the non-obvious, leader-level skills today's professionals need to stand out in meetings, networking events, interviews, client dinners, and every room that matters. This episode goes far deeper than "smile more" or "make eye contact." You'll learn the elevated, strategic social-intelligence behaviors that actually impact influence, reputation, and advancement, especially for analytical high-achievers who weren't taught these skills in school. **  Don't even know where to begin in improving your interpersonal skills?

Cue the music and get Robert Stack in a trenchcoat - this week's episode is dedicated to all things "Unsolved Mysteries." The girls cover some of their favorite segments from the legendary show. Hannah covers the mysterious deaths of three men: wrestling promoter James "Buffalo Jim" Barrier, businessman Chuck Morgan and journalist Danny Casolaro. Lori covers the tragic murder of Missouri woman Trudy Darby. Sheena covers two paranormal tales - the love story of Frank and Teresa Wilson and the haunting of the Harden House.

(Note: A version of this episode originally ran in 2022.)Every time you shop online and make it to the checkout screen, you see those colorful pastel buttons at the bottom. Affirm. Klarna. Afterpay. Asking: Do you want to split your payment into interest-free installments? No credit check needed. Get what you want, right now. That temptation got shoppers like Amelia Schmarzo into some money trouble. Back in 2022, she maxed out her credit card after a month of buying now and paying later. She's not alone. Buy now, pay later is everywhere now. And you can finance almost anything with it. Your clothes, your furniture … even your lips. But if these companies don't charge interest, how do they make money? In short, people buy more stuff using these services and so sellers are willing to pay up. Which makes buy now, pay later, something of a threat to credit card companies. Cue the tussle for your impulse-buying clicks. Today on the show, we find out how the companies work, who's most likely to use these services and who's getting a good deal. And a warning: those little loans will soon be on your credit report. Subscribe to Planet Money+Listen free: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, the NPR app or anywhere you get podcasts.Facebook / Instagram / TikTok / Our weekly Newsletter.This episode was produced by Emma Peaslee, engineered by Josh Newell and edited by Molly Messick.

Summer. 1997. Four good-looking teens hit someone with their car and decide the best move is to dump the body and never talk about it again. A year later, surprise — someone knows what they did last summer. Cue the fisherman with a hook, a lot of screaming, and enough 90s angst to power a Dawson's Creek marathon.
