There's a lot to catch up on in the Bravo universe this week! RHONY is back in our lives and we dissect the season 13 trailer.  Do we love the new girl Eboni? Is she a match for the Ramona monster? Sonja is STILL stuck in her Morgan past but we love her for it.  Does Lu get a tattoo about cabaret? Will Leah fall under the second season curse? Not even a pandemic can stop the LOLs when it comes to the RHONY women. We head over to spooky Atlanta where the women are all dressed up for Halloween. Who was worst dressed and why was it Kenya? Staying in Atlanta we check in with the Married to Medicine crew. What can we do to get Simone and Jackie to mend their broken friendship? Is it bad to take out a personal loan to put a pool to your backyard? (Seriously, is it? We don't know). Are we team Toya or team Contessa? Or are we team Anila's mom? We set sail with the crew of Below Deck Sailing Yacht where this show is proving to be the highlight of our weeks! Gary is still scary, but Sydney is getting cringey. This weeks charter guests are very high maintenance  with a very complicated living situation!  Can Natasha handle the demands of the guests? How many types of potatoes are too many types of potatoes? Over in Dallas we are finally able to dish on some of our built up feelings about Brandi. Did D'Andra take on the Simmons name out of love, or did she do it knowing it would take her further in life? Can you meditate and be Christian at the same time? We have some opinions about this one! It's a shore weekend in Jersey. Jearica is staying at the Gorga's but she will come visit Megan at the Catania's house for the food. Teresa gives everyone a vibrator, including Jackie, so she can stick it up her a**. Did Joe Benigno hear the rumor from in town, or did he hear it from Margaret's mouth? It's pub crawl night at the Summer House. Jearica is going to NYC for the vibe while Megan is going to Cali for the margaritas. Did Luke sleep with Lindsay? Is Carl projecting his fuckboy past onto Luke? A fight breaks out between the boys of the house, but we have to wait and see next week if punches are thrown. Join us in the journey and Let's Talk Bravo! 

Glenn Robson (@glennrobson_) back on the Passive Hang! Glenn joined us previously as part of the Aspen Coaching (@aspencoaching) crew back in Episode 24, and now jumps on for a solo episode. Glenn runs Aspen Coaching with his wife Emma (@emma_louise_robson) and Paul Twyman (@pault8_upsidedown). Glenn has previously trained with the Ido Portal Method and is currently studying with Fighting Monkey. Part of the attraction of going deeper into a physical practice is the opportunity for self transformation. Glenn shares his story of how the practice has helped him realise self destructive behaviours and re-orient himself according to more truthful values. Apart from all the cool tricks and handstands you may see on Instagram, I think it is this element which keeps a lot of us in the game. We feel something, we search for a meaning, an understanding. We can sense that in our practice, we can uncover deep truths about ourself. In transforming ourselves, we can transform our world. Glenn openly shares his struggles and realisations through the years. Glenn sits at an intersection, having experience through many modern day phenomenons - crossfit, Ido, Fighting Monkey. How does this all come together in his teaching? Does he throw people into the fire? or does he step them through a more graduated process? We discuss some interesting case examples of how he applies the different methodologies. A great one from someone who has experience with it all, and is applying it to many different people. Many thanks to Glenn for jumping on.

Craig, Adam and Ben are in the GWR virtual pub, The Golden Plover, to present the coming week in record-breaking history, including a half-ton woman, a 50-in-long pet cat, the explorer who sawed off his own fingertips, Elvis Presley, a 2020-style geomagnetic storm and the terrifying "sport" of banzai skydiving (no parachutes allowed). Plus, AJ Marks from the youngest rock band joins us for a spot of music.

I just adopted two black cats, named Dracula and Poe, so let's learn about domestic cats! Thanks to RosyWindFox, Nicholas, Richard E., Kim, and an anonymous listener who all made suggestions and contributed to this episode in one way or another! Further listening: Weird Dog Breeds - an unlocked Patreon episode Two beautiful examples of domestic cats (Dracula on left, Poe on right, and it is really hard to photograph a black cat): The African wildcat, ancestor of the domestic cat: The blotched tabby (left) and regular tabby (right): A cat's toe pads (Poe's toes, in fact): The big friendly Maine Coon cat: The Norwegian forest cat SO FLUFFY: The surprised-looking Singapura cat: The hairless sphynx breed (with sweater): The Madagascar forest cat: The European wildcat: This came across my feed today and it seemed appropriate, or inappropriately funny depending on your point of view: Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I’m your host, Kate Shaw. I had a different episode planned for this week, but then I adopted two cats, so this week’s episode is going to be about the domestic cat! It also happens to be a suggestion from RosyWindFox after we got to talking about podcasts and animals. Rosy also kindly sent me some research she had done about cats for a project of her own, which was a great help! But Rosy isn’t the only listener who contributed to this episode. Nicholas suggested weird cats a while back, Richard E. suggested unusual cat breeds, and Kim suggested an episode about domestic cats as invasive species. And we have another suggestion by a listener who wants to remain anonymous about keeping exotic animals as pets, which I thought would fit in well after we talk about invasive species. We’ll also learn about some mystery cats while we’re at it. So buckle up for this big episode about little cats, and thanks to everyone who sent suggestions! We don’t want to leave the dog lovers out so before we start talking about cats, back in June of 2019 patrons got an episode about strange dog breeds, also suggested by Nicholas. I’ve unlocked that episode so that anyone can listen. There’s a link in the show notes and you can just click the link and listen in your browser, no Patreon login required. So, most people are familiar with the domestic cat, usually just called a cat. It’s different from the similar-sized felid called a wildcat because it’s actually domesticated. Even domestic cats that have never lived with a human are still part of a species shaped by domestication, so instead of wild cats, wild domestic cats are called feral cats. Researchers estimate that the domestic cat developed from a species of African wildcat about 10,000 years ago, or possibly as long as 12,000 years ago. This was around the time that many cultures in the Middle East were developing farming, and farming means you need to store grain. If you store grain, you attract mice and other rodents. And what animals famously like to catch and eat rodents? Cats! Wildcats started hanging around farms and houses to catch rodents, and since the humans didn’t want the rodents, they were fine with the cats. Farms that didn’t have any cats had more rodents eating their stored grain, so it was just a matter of time before humans made the next logical step and started taming wildcats so they could trade cats to people who needed them. Besides, wildcats are pretty animals with sleek fur, and if you’ve ever stood by the tiger exhibit in a zoo and wished you could pet a tiger, you will understand how your distant ancestors felt about wildcats. The species of wildcat is Felis silvestris lybica, the African wildcat, which lives in northern Africa and Southwest Asia. It’s still alive today and looks so much like a domestic cat that it can be hard to tell the species apart, although the African wildcat has long legs and specific markings.

In my second ever interview with a Domestic Cat, I learn that everything is either seen in cats or dogs, and that a Cat Uprising is soon upon us.Lydia: Rachel ClaireMaize: Jeremy Hull

In this episode, I caught up with Eilonwy, a domestic cat. He lived in my apartment for a year or so, and I was able to talk to him right before he moved out. Eilonwy candidly talks to me all about how everyone thought he was a female cat.Eilonwy: Sarah PorterRuby: Dan Schiffmacher

In this NewsFlash, we discover that happiness is in the here and now, as thinking about something other than the task at hand seems to lead to low mood. We find out why children tire so quickly when walking, and explore evidence in Scottish rocks that Earth became oxygenated 400,000 years earlier than we thought. Plus, the elegant physics of a lapping cat!
