How is Trump's executive order redefining the language permissible in scientific research, and what does it mean for academic freedom? Today, we examine the complexities surrounding scientific research under shifting political landscapes with Ivan Oransky, a seasoned medical journalist and co-founder of Retraction Watch. Oransky discusses the implications of President Trump's executive orders and how it has sent ripples throughout the scientific community, causing researchers to reconsider their work amidst existential uncertainties. Oransky explores the nuanced relationship between government funding and scientific inquiry. This episode unpacks the historical precedents of government involvement in research, tracing back to the 1940s, and examines the mounting challenges faced by scientists under the recent policy changes. Oransky provides a critical analysis of how such directives potentially stifle open inquiry and drive talented researchers away, ultimately impacting the future landscape of scientific discovery. In This Episode:Implications of Trump's executive orders on scientific researchHistorical context of government funding in scientific researchThe impact of political climates on scientific inquiry and transparencyChallenges of anticipatory obedience within research communitiesIvan Oransky's insights on sustaining open and rigorous scientific dialogue About Ivan:Ivan Oransky, MD, is the co-founder of Retraction Watch, the Editor in Chief of The Transmitter, and a Distinguished Journalist in Residence at New York University's Carter Journalism Institute, where he teaches medical journalism.

Send us a textThis episode was a whirlwind of chaotic energy fueled by cold brew, deep thoughts on dicks, and unsolicited introspection. Bobby and Jim discuss everything from waking up at ungodly hours, Botox touch-ups, and the undeniable power of bulge bands. There's talk of mysterious Irishmen, deep-seated bisexuality panic, and how Gen Z is dismantling the big dick industrial complex. The boys take a detour into a philosophical breakdown of averages (which nearly breaks Bobby's brain), get deep into Trump voters realizing they've been conned, and unpack why someone always has a bottle of lube at the ready.Somewhere along the way, Jim relives his DC trauma of watching Beaches next to a grieving classmate, Bobby gets manhandled in a Chicago bar bathroom, and they both theorize that being blind might make sex infinitely better. Also, a local takedown segment hilariously roasts a couple with too much sniffies exposure, and they contemplate why straight frat guys invented butt chugging. It all ends with Bobby questioning if he should go into politics and a serious, yet unserious, conversation about how tech bros like Elon Musk are destroying the world.Most Inappropriate MomentsThe boy pussy moan during straight sex.A man being “helped” to pee by an overly supportive stranger.A deep discussion about how straight frat boys invented butt chugging.The full forensic analysis of dried cum stains on various clothing items.Monkeypox paranoia spiraling into full-body checks.A local couple exposed for their public sniffies profiles.The realization that half of men have a dick under 5.5 inches.A therapy session gaslighting a man into believing he isn't sick.Someone carrying pre-lubed pockets “just in case.”The math breakdown of how dick size averages really work.Frat boys nervously explaining why butt chugging isn't gay.A man getting Botox while wearing a suspiciously stained hoodie.Straight men admitting they've thought about the other side.Airport passengers losing their minds over flight delays.A guy jerking off in a car with emergency lube on standby.Support the showAs always you can write us at nowellpodcast@gmail.com or call us at ‪(614) 721-5336‬ and tell us your Not Wells of the week InstagramTwitterBobby's Only FansHelp us continue to grow and create amazing content, like a live tour or just help fund some new headphones when needed.

In this episode, Jonathan and James tackle life's most pressing questions with their usual mix of humor, skepticism, and existential dread. Why do people trust AI to make decisions for them, even when it's clearly wrong? How is it possible that intelligent life should be everywhere in the universe, yet we've found nothing? And in perhaps the most unsettling discovery of the week—Egyptian mummies actually smell amazing. They also go on wild detours about the global chicken census (which James wildly overestimates), reminisce about pandemic-era absurdities, and consider whether aliens are just watching us like a cosmic reality show. Oh, and if you're wondering what a 2 AM walk with a dog and zero signs of human life feels like—it might just be the start of an alien abduction. Come for the thought-provoking discussion, stay for the revelation that maybe—just maybe—you should save a horse and bang a mummy.

Send us a textThe episode begins with a chaotic, rapid-fire discussion on current events, conspiracy theories, and pop culture, blending humor, absurdity, and deep frustration over political affairs. The hosts open with an explosive claim that the federal government is experiencing a private takeover under the guise of reform, referencing missing CDC datasets and security concerns with high-ranking officials using Gmail.The conversation pivots into political absurdities, touching on right-wing rhetoric and congressional moments, including a rant on trans rights and Republican politicians' hypocrisy. They mock a certain congresswoman for her performative outrage while criticizing the collective ugliness of some far-right figures. The discussion naturally evolves into admiration for Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett, who they argue should be president despite the societal barriers preventing a Black woman from holding the office.The episode takes a detour into pop culture, touching on the Grammys, Beyonce's Cowboy Carter, and the state of music today. They make an unexpected but passionate argument about the phenomenon of “hot dicks on ugly faces,” an epidemic they claim is taking over dating apps. This leads to reflections on their own perceived attractiveness, aging, and the existential crisis of being labeled a "daddy" by younger men.They also dive into their personal experiences, discussing their trip to Mexico, the joy of embracing one's desires without guilt, and the realization that Columbus, Ohio, isn't much different from Kentucky or other smaller towns. They reflect on how people irrationally judge other places while defending their own.Later in the episode, they discuss the surreal and pervasive nature of pharmaceutical advertisements, reminiscing about their childhood obsession with trans fats and the moment of victory when they were officially banned. They also introduce the concept of The Hill, a metaphor for a higher state of consciousness that allows for telepathic communication, particularly with animals. One of the hosts recounts an eerie moment when their dog seemingly responded to unspoken thoughts, reinforcing their belief in an untapped human ability.As the episode nears its end, they discuss eye exams, the stress of negotiating for a new car, and the importance of controlling the few things within one's power. The conversation, like the rest of the episode, swings wildly between humor, personal anecdotes, conspiracy theories, and existential musings.Ultimately, the episode encapsulates the signature blend of Not Well—a mix of gay comedy, sharp political critique, deep internet dives, and unfiltered chaos, all while maintaining an undercurrent of existential dread and dark humor.Support the showAs always you can write us at nowellpodcast@gmail.com or call us at ‪(614) 721-5336‬ and tell us your Not Wells of the week InstagramTwitterBobby's Only FansHelp us continue to grow and create amazing content, like a live tour or just help fund some new headphones when needed.

Send us a textThis episode of Not Well dives deep into chaotic and hilarious conversations ranging from Trumpism, trans rights, societal failings, crumbs, childhood fears, and a lot of irreverent humor. Bobby and Jim dissect the ridiculousness of patriotism displayed during inaugurations, the bizarre cult-like worship of certain political figures, and the ongoing culture war surrounding trans individuals.

The hosts begin with a discussion about hair loss and confidence, exploring the practical and emotional impacts of embracing baldness versus pursuing treatments like hair transplants. The conversation shifts to weather preferences, with humorous takes on the struggle between cold-blooded individuals who thrive in winter and those who prefer sweltering heat.Childhood memories resurface as they reflect on past experiences in Cub Scouts and school, particularly moments that shaped their perspectives on self-expression and creativity. This segues into a broader conversation about parenting, emphasizing the importance of letting children explore their true interests without imposing adult expectations or societal norms.The hosts delve into history, discussing pivotal moments like Viking raids in Ireland, the Boston Tea Party, and the migration of Neanderthals and early humans. These reflections are framed with humor and a sense of curiosity about how history has been shaped, rewritten, and taught. The discussion also touches on the complexities of societal brainwashing, from historical narratives to modern national security issues, critiquing how the U.S. government uses terms like “terrorism” to control public perception.Cultural and genetic history becomes a central theme as they explore personal connections to Ireland, considering travel as a means of discovering identity and familial roots. The conversation incorporates reflections on how ancestry influences modern identity, with a humorous take on topics like Viking raids, Irish potato farming, and the genetic quirks of Neanderthals.Food nostalgia makes an appearance with a longing for discontinued treats like Butterfinger BBs, sparking a larger commentary on the emotional connections people form with comfort foods.

A hitherto unacknowledged connection that threads through the entirety of philosophical writing—across centuries, cultures, and varying schools of thought—is humanity's unending effort to sublimate existential terror into a coherent narrative that makes mortal life intelligible, permissible, and meaningful. From the careful syllogisms of medieval Scholastics to the bold manifestos of twentieth-century existentialists, philosophers have not merely flirted with the interplay of reason, emotion, and metaphysical longing; they have continually sought to transfigure our instinctive dread of finitude and futility into something purposeful and noble. The binding force here is not merely the quest for truth or the application of logic, but a more primal task: to shelter the trembling human psyche from the chaos of existence through the scaffolding of a grand conceptual edifice. In other words, all philosophical writing can be seen, at its core, as an evolving strategy for constructing spiritual and intellectual refuges against the terror of nonbeing.

Meanwhile, Jim reflects on self-perception and the question, “Am I as hot as I think I am?”Alien Drones and Galaxy GasThe conversation shifts to UFOs and the mysterious alien drones reportedly emerging from the Atlantic Ocean. Bobby shares his own UFO sighting during a Spirit Airlines flight, dubbing the airline "the Aldi of the skies." Speculation runs wild, with theories ranging from drones targeting straight men to enhancing Pig Week with Galaxy Gas. The duo imagines Trump's Space Force battling aliens at Pig Week, blending conspiracy theories with biting humor.Luigi Mangione and Healthcare ChaosLuigi Mangione, the hammer-wielding "healthcare vigilante," becomes a focal point as the guys hilariously weave his story into the week's absurdities.

Send us a textQuote of the week: " I am just trying to avoid anyone here who has been inside me"  In this unfiltered unhinged instant classic episode, Bobby and Jim kick things off by embracing a doomed mission: pretending to be straight bros. Spoiler alert—it's hilarious and painfully bad. Their half-hearted attempt to discuss “smashing pussy” quickly devolves into a crisis of identity and nostalgia, sparking deep memories of hiding who they were and re-living past traumas, but with their signature humor and sass. From there, it's a high-speed jump into the absurd, as they share unhinged rants about Aldi's suspiciously moldy produce, America's unhealthy obsession with trauma porn, and their recurring political nightmare—the state of democracy and anti-trans legislation.Between deep dives into existential dread and biting humor, the duo talks about Roman bathhouse fantasies (because, of course), reminisces over pagers and the “texting” culture of yore, and dissects Stephen Hawking's aesthetic choices with zero chill. Bobby laments how dogs ruin spontaneous trips with their bougie pet camp needs, while Jim recounts his IV therapy adventure after a wild night out.

In Indiana, the entire state is marked by some kind of drought as farmers finish up this year's harvest. If rain doesn't come yet this fall, Indiana farmers are crossing fingers and toes for good snowfall. Lots of problems, but maybe not crops, can erupt when the ground is too dry.  Additionally, many farmers are in their first or second season battling the tar spot fungus. Which raises the question: when do you apply fungicide to combat this pesky new disease? The answer goes back to the weather and to moisture levels. "Visually it's a really hard disease to scout for, but to some degree you can know it's present," says Indiana agronomist Ben Jacobs. "There is a planting date correlation this year that will match back up with the weather. You can kind of predict or get an idea of how heavy the pressure it going to be if you focus on when you planted and how much moisture you got."If this is the first season dealing with tar spot, here's the best advice from the Indiana Agronomy podcast:

Original Text/ Transcript: https://www.pecanphilosophy.com/writing/existential-dreadI didn't set out to write an essay about existential dread and freedom. But after a recent post on social media sparked a wave of unexpected discussion, I realized this was a conversation worth having. It quickly became clear that I wasn't alone in wrestling with the complexities of free will—with the way the very thing we crave, the power to choose our path can sometimes feel like the heaviest burden to bear.   Existential Dread.This today. Life is pushing me towards a change… something I might have asked for but also maybe only half-consciously.Or I want it to be exactly the way I want it. I wanted EVERYTHING. To give up nothing but to have everything I wanted.How can I be so enraptured, so intoxicatingly optimistic about the unknown that stretches before me, yet feel this crippling fear, this suffocating grip, this utter inability to let go of the familiar?I am captivated by the promise of a future I had hoped for. Yet now that the doors have been thrown open, I am so grief-stricken at the thought of losing the life I built, the ground that once felt solid beneath my feet.I am so grateful to the universe for the necessary violent push, for the chance to begin again, yet I feel powerless in the face of not knowing HOW it's going to happen.I crumble, clinging to the wreckage before surrendering to the flow.This is the existential dread, the dreadful paradox, isn't it?To be both terrified and thrilled by the very same force, to mourn what's left behind while dancing on the precipice of something new.Change-seeking, growth-loving animals like us are perhaps, all on this tightrope, balancing the comfort of the known with the dizzying allure of the unknown.    XEggshell Therapy and Coaching: eggshelltherapy.com About Imi Lo: www.imiloimilo.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/imi_lo_/ Newsletters: https://eepurl.com/bykHRzDisclaimers: https://www.eggshelltherapy.com/disclaimers Trigger Warning: This episode may cover sensitive topics including but not limited to suicide, abuse, violence, severe mental illnesses, relationship challenges, sex, drugs, alcohol addiction, psychedelics, and the use of plant medicines.

Read the full transcript here. How hard is it to construct a toaster from scratch? Do we in modern times individually have more knowledge than individuals living 100 or 1,000 years ago? Should corporations be thought of as a kind of emergent artificial intelligence? To what extent are corporations — and more broadly, whole economies — aligned with human values? Which animals experience the smallest amount of existential dread? Are humans at the top of the evolutionary "pyramid"? Is it possible to make a completely harmless car? Or is it even possible to make a completely harmless anything? What are the differences between "Cowboy Earth" and "Spaceship Earth"?Thomas Thwaites is an award-winning design researcher and author of two acclaimed books, The Toaster Project, and Goatman. His sometimes eccentric projects explore the psychological and social impacts of technology as we struggle to find a sustainable future.

Existentialist philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre famously said we are condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, we are responsible for everything we do. It has long been known that navigating the human condition is a scary challenge, and life long commitment to many. But are there better, or best ways to accept, cope or even embrace that source of anguish? Establishing meaning is different for everyone. As always, we hope this light, relatable, yet philosophical conversation between Jeff and Danielle LaSusa provides some helpful perspective that furthers your journey, helping to bring listeners clarity, understanding, and meaning.

After more than two years since the series debut of “We're All Gonna Die (Even Jay Baruchel),” the Canadian actor, writer and director Jay Baruchel is still worrying about humanity's demise. Ahead of the Season 2 premiere of the award-winning docuseries, Jay joins Tom in studio to talk about his fear of death, how a children's bible made him cry, and why he's always loved Canada.

In a particularly engaging episode of "Not Well," hosts Bobby and Jim delve into a rich tapestry of topics, highlighted by Bobby's recent escapades in New York City and Jim's distinct take on several universally relatable subjects. The episode is a vibrant mix of humor, personal stories, and societal observations that listeners have come to love and expect from the duo.Bobby kicks things off with an enthralling recount of his New York City adventures, from the vibrant gay nightlife at the Eagle to an unexpected experience of an earthquake. His stories of freedom, sexual exploration, and candid social interactions in the city's bars provide a deep dive into personal liberation and the complexities of identity expression in such open environments.Jim, not to be outdone, steers the conversation towards a lighter, yet equally thought-provoking direction, discussing the peculiar charm of candy cigarettes. This leads to a nostalgic journey back to childhood, questioning the impact of such products and the oddities of marketing strategies aimed at children.Front porch parties come under Jim's scrutiny next, where he humorously contrasts them with their backyard counterparts, drawing on personal anecdotes to illustrate the unique social dynamics they foster. Jim's reflections are a humorous ode to community gatherings and the subtle societal cues that dictate our social interactions in these spaces.The conversation takes another turn as Jim shares his musings on Shih Tzu dogs, adding a dose of humor to the episode. His comedic take on pet preferences and the personalities of different dog breeds elicits laughter while subtly questioning why we gravitate towards certain pets.Throughout the episode, a hilarious incident involving the TSA and a personal item of Bobby's offers a moment of comic relief, highlighting the absurdities often encountered during travel. This story ties back to the overarching theme of the episode: navigating the unexpected with humor and grace.00:00:00 - Introduction and playful banter about upcoming trip and bear parties00:03:09 - Reaction to a voicemail about JVN's appearance and past00:10:34 - Allure and societal implications of candy cigarettes00:16:49 -  shih tzu and bacon.00:19:57 - Reflections on front porch parties.00:23:29 - Encounter with TSA over a personal item00:23:51 - Coining the summer's hottest insult: "Creole banjee bitch."00:39:29 - Exploration of sexual freedom and experiences at a gay bar in NYC.00:45:33 - Earthquake experience in NYC, adding an unexpected twist to the trip.00:52:00 - Delving into the vibrant food and culture scene in Brooklyn.01:00:00 - The energy and excitement of attending a jockstrap Support the showAs always you can write us at nowellpodcast@gmail.com or call us at ‪(614) 721-5336‬ and tell us your Not Wells of the week InstagramTwitterBobby's Only FansHelp us continue to grow and create amazing content, like a live tour or just help fund some new headphones when needed.

Hey there, our fabulous "Not Well" listeners! It's your favorite dynamic duo, Bobby and Jim, back at it again with another episode that's sure to have you laughing, thinking, and maybe even clutching your pearls a little bit.So, let's dive right in, shall we? We couldn't resist starting off with the hot mess express that is the "plane lady" fiasco. I mean, come on, what kind of cocktail was she on? We're thinking a generous pour of Xanax, a splash of Ambien, and maybe even a sprinkle of meth for that extra oomph. But hey, we're not judging… okay, maybe a little.Moving on to the queen herself, Lizzo. Girl, what is going on? Taking a break? We need to talk about this. And don't even get us started on her dance crew and the desperate need for a "glow up." We're here to spill the tea, and trust us, there's plenty to go around.On a more personal note, yours truly just celebrated 12 years of living my best life in Columbus. Can you believe it? Leaving the nest and spreading my wings was the best decision ever. And speaking of leaving the nest, is it just us, or is it trippy to watch our siblings become parents? Like, suddenly they're all "mom" and "dad," and we're over here still trying to figure out how to adult.Okay, let's talk about something that really grinds our gears: the pharmaceutical industry. Have you seen the prices of drugs like Ozempic? It's like they're trying to bankrupt us while lining their own pockets. It's time for a reality check, folks.And finally, the solar eclipse. Are we excited? Meh. We've got mixed feelings. But you know what really eclipses our enthusiasm? When people in our community become parents and suddenly lose their spark. We said what we said.Alright, that's a wrap for this episode of "Not Well." If you're new here, buckle up, buttercup. We're not holding back. And to our ride-or-die listeners, we love you more than a drag queen loves a good wig.
