Is swearing just crude behavior—or could it be a cognitive, physical, and social superpower? Inspired by The Future of Commerce article on swearing at work, this episode explores the surprising research that shows how profanity can boost performance, signal authenticity, and even build psychological safety on teams.We challenge the myth that cursing indicates low intelligence and explore how well-timed swearing can increase pain tolerance, enhance physical output, and reduce social distance—when used carefully. But the context, frequency, and social dynamics matter. Swearing may be a spice that elevates communication, but overuse (or misuse) can kill the flavor.What You'll Learn in This Episode:1. Swearing and Intelligence: Busting the Vocabulary MythPeople who swear often have higher verbal fluency, not lowerKnowing how and when to use profanity is linked to emotional intelligence2. Swearing as a Physical Performance BoosterStudies show 8–22% improvement in strength, endurance, and pain toleranceSwearing may trigger emotional arousal or reduce pain perception (hypoalgesia)3. The Limits of Swearing's PowerFrequent swearing dulls its impact due to habituationStrategic, infrequent use retains performance and communication benefits4. Swearing in the Workplace: Risk or Trust Signal?Can foster team bonding and psychological safety—when consensual and well-timedContext is key: tone, audience, and power dynamics all influence perceptionBias exists—women and Black professionals are judged more harshly for swearing5. Guidelines for Smart SwearingUse it intentionally, like a spice—not the main courseAvoid discriminatory language, excessive use, or directing it at othersKnow your audience and setting: what's okay with your team may not be with leadership or clientsKey Takeaways:Swearing can indicate high linguistic and emotional intelligenceIt boosts physical performance via pain tolerance and motivationHabituation dulls its effects—use it strategicallyIn the workplace, it can signal trust or backfire, depending on who's listeningContext, frequency, and identity all influence how swearing is receivedSubscribe to our podcast for expert insights on the psychology of language, workplace culture, and performance science.

Team America: World Police Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, & Spoiler Review!! Join Greg Alba, Aaron Alexander, and John Humphrey as they dive into the 2004 cult classic that redefined political satire—Team America: World Police. Directed by Trey Parker & Matt Stone (South Park, Cannibal! The Musical), this uproarious puppet-driven film takes aim at global terrorism, American militarism, and Hollywood excess with biting humor and jaw-dropping musical numbers. Team America follows an elite, over-the-top task force of marionette operatives as they confront the world's most dangerous threats. The film features unforgettable moments like the explosive “America, F**k Yeah!” the country elegy "Freedom Isn't Free," the "Montage" song, & Kim Jong Il's showstopping "I'm So Ronery" along with the host of outrageous action sequences that blend crude comedy with sharp social commentary. The film also parodies famous actors and iconic Hollywood personas—taking playful jabs at stars such as Alec Baldwin, Michael Moore, Matt Damon, Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon, George Clooney, Danny Glover, Ethan Hawke, Helen Hunt, Samuel L Jackson, Liv Tyler, Martin Sheen, Sean Penn, Ben Affleck, Julianne Moore, and others—adding an extra layer of hilarity and cultural critique. Greg, Aaron, & John take in every outrageous detail—from the puppet mayhem and overblown action to the overall construction & craftsmanship that have made this film a lasting favorite among satirical cinema enthusiasts.

Send us a textThis week on Fabulous Film & Friends we're taking on the monumental challenge of dissecting Francis Ford Coppola's sprawling, controversial and somewhat divisive 2024 opus, Megalopolis starring Adam Driver, Giancarlo Esposito, Nathalie Emmanuel, Aubrey Plaza, Shia LeBeouf, John Voight, Laurence Fishburne, Talia Shire, Jason Schwartzman, Grace Vanderwaal , Kathryn Hunter, and Dustin Hoffman. Plus, as a bonus James Remar, and D.B. Sweeney in essentially featured background roles.I'm your host Gino Caputi and joining me this week are two of my sturdy and stalwart fellow film snobs, who had the guts and determination to get to the movie theater before the film was yanked from screens, Joe Field, and Gordon Alex Robertson.Before we go bonkers, don the Coppola sandwich board and howl at the masses, the synopsis: In the dark days before the impending collapse of New Rome, Caesar Catalina, a man who can stop time and space, ventures to create a utopian city using “Catalinium,” the Nobel Prize-winning element he invented. He seeks to replace his decaying city with a new vision for a brighter future but said vision faces setbacks on many levels. Despite political, financial, societal and familial obstacles raining down on him, Catalina's  unwavering spirit cannot be deterred.A deserved critical and financial bomb or a misunderstood masterpiece? Find out!! Watch the podcast on Youtubehttps://youtu.be/krdq3DRVs0k Follow FFF on Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/fabulousfilmandfriends

The Heroes crept through the damp tunnel, watching their step as they moved around rats and scraps of what could only be described as "debris" scattered about. A small stream of what they hoped was water flowed through the center of the tunnel, carrying with it a less than pleasant aroma. The air was damp and hung heavy over them, urging them forward to escape its embrace. After far too long, the Heroes encountered the end of the tunnel, which deposited them into a large pit beneath what seemed like a dungeon. They climbed their way up, eventually emerging over the cusp of the pit to see they were faced with rows of cages and small cells.    Many thanks to Ruan for spending the time with us on the show!

After listening to Season 3, Lesson 07, start reinforcing what you've learned by taking six minutes a day to practice listening and imitating the material. Repetition makes progress.How to practiceThis episode's daily practice session doesn't include spoken instructions, but the process is the same as previous episodes of this season:In the first part, you'll hear a short snippet of the dialogue, followed by a pause of 2-4 seconds. During the pause, try to echo aloud exactly what you heard. In the second part, the dialogue plays again without pauses. Try to shadow the dialogue by repeating it aloud simultaneously with the recording.Note that in both parts, speaking aloud is important, as this practice helps you gain confidence making the sounds of Mandarin, increasing your speaking fluency over time. It also gives you invaluable feedback, as you hear the sounds coming out of your mouth, and can compare them to the sounds you just heard. If only done once or twice, this might not seem to have much effect; repeated on a daily basis, however, this is a powerful mechanism for bootstrapping your pronunciation and speaking ability.Magic Phrase (4-1)This phrase is composed entirely of words that use the 4-1 tone pair. We use it to practice identifying and then pronouncing the tones, hearing how they interact with each other in context. 帥哥上班，外公退休Shuàigē shàngbān, wàigōng tuìxiū帥哥 / shuàigē / handsome man上班 / shàngbān / to go to work外公 / wàigōng / maternal grandfather退休 / tuìxiū / retired, to retireTranscript of the dialogue (Chinese characters only)M：阿芬！你來了！F：嘿！不好意思遲到了。我剛剛才下班。M：沒事！趕快進來坐！F：謝謝。M：你看起來好喘！F：唉，爬樓梯真的好喘！M：對，我們沒有電梯。只好讓你運動一下。F：我好久沒運動。M：沒關係，現在可以放鬆。小李，這是我的朋友，慧芬，她是律師。L：你好。F：嗨。M：來，慧芬，要不要吃麵包？小李做的！F：好厲害！M：你可以放心，他的麵包很健康！F：好好吃！你開麵包店嗎？L：沒有，其實，就是，呃… 我是一個… 呃… 作家。M：小李很害羞，可是他是一個很認真的作家。F：你寫小說嗎？L：沒有。但那是我的目標。M：來，我們先坐。正好要開始唱歌！F：我最愛唱歌！M：小李，你還沒點歌，對吧。L：我不用了。F：你真的很害羞。M：小李，拜託，唱一首給大家聽。然後我就放過你。L：可是，在很多陌生人的面前…M：什麼陌生人？我們都是朋友，你放心！L：還是我先去吃蛋糕…M：你不要逃避了啦！不唱歌，你要吃辣椒！L：什麼？M：我家的規定。L：OK，OK，好啦。我唱。F：你要唱什麼？我幫你點。L：呃… 夢中人？好嗎？F：王菲的還是蔡琴的？L：哦… 蔡琴的。M：老靈魂。L：哈哈，對啊。F：好，點好了。L：這麼快！好，請大家要有耐心…M：不要害羞！L：不能錄音哦。M：沒有人會錄音！Transcript of the dialogue (w/ pinyin and translation)Use this as a visual listening guide, or if you want to check your tone comprehension.

Do you feel personally attacked by your to-do list? Do you have brilliant ideas but struggle to get them out of your brain? This episode is for you. Like a lot of us, it's been drilled into us that your ability to be productive makes you a valuable and worthy contributor to society. It's such an American cultural obsession that we've created hacks to try to be even MORE productive! Today I'm joined by the fabulous Lisa Zawrotny to explore what it's like to be productive without all the pressure to achieve and prove ourselves. We're challenging the black-and-white thinking that many people have regarding productivity (and “laziness”!), and the importance of acknowledging your own variable energy and focus levels every day. Particularly for those with neurodivergent minds like ADHD, we're sharing our experiences and strategies for optimizing your productivity and creativity within a flexible calendar structure plus how to add self-care to your calendar every day. We're pulling apart the damaging impacts of the hustle culture to help you break free from the constant-activity mindset and to reject busyness as a badge of honor. We also dive into the "Four Ds" framework, a refreshing perspective on managing your tasks and productivity. Tune in for… How to stop using pressure to be productive and stop calling yourself lazy. How to find the systems and approaches that work for YOU and your needs. Why resting your brain is one of the most productive things you can do. The negative effects of hustle culture and how to let of “busy” as a status symbol. How to get a lot done and take excellent care of yourself and your energy. How the use the "Four Ds Framework” as an effective and pressure-free way to approach productivity. & so much more! Loving this episode?

I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Hello, happy Fuck Yeah Friday! What's up my loves? What's up Be It babes? You guys are phenomenal. Welcome to the Friday after a holiday in the US. I don't know what the Friday after the first Friday ish in July is like for you around the world, but I hope you're having a fun time celebrating what you have done this week. And if you've never joined us for a Fuck Yeah Friday, here's what it is. You sit down and you celebrate your wins, no matter how small they are. Because I've had so many people in our lives that are like, I've heard them slamming the wins because they're just not big enough. Like it was a good thing that happened but it could have been bigger. So I'm not going to celebrate what did happen because it wasn't bigger. What the fuck is that? Who taught us that? Ladies? Look, I'm sure there's some dudes out there who can celebrate their wins too but I'm gonna call up my loves because most of the people who listen our people identify as women and Hi, I see you, recovering overachiever and perfectionist over here. My name is Lesley Logan, and I'm a seven on the Enneagram, which I've heard is like the only one who has two gas pedals, which is why it's hard for me to celebrate wins, which is why we have this episode. Because it forces me to celebrate my wins with you and celebrate your wins and inspire you to show up for yourself, you're frickin kicking ass. And so what if it wasn't as big as you expected? You know what? here's the deal. Most things are never as big or as shitty as we think they're gonna be, you know when you're like, Oh my God, this could blow up on my face and you like tell yourself some story that can be the worst thing in the world. And then you have this dream, this vision, this goal, like it's going to be like this. There's gonna be unicorns and rainbows. There's gonna be glitter everywhere. Nothing is usually as glittery or as shitty. As our mind takes us there. It's often somewhere in the middle which is why it's so important for us to celebrate these wins because we have to acknowledge we're kicking some fuckin ass. Alright, so, that's what this episode is and we kick off with your kick ass moments. So here we go. Here we go. So, Rebecca Circle she's an Agency member of ours. She said, she has three wins for you, one, one of my virtual clients upgraded from once a week to two times a week sessions with me which is humongous. Anytime anyone says you know what I want to spend not just one hour with you but two hours with you because you're like changing my life that's a massive win and should not go unnoticed because that is a testament to the work you're doing Rebecca. Number two, one of my old clients from Scottsdale saw posts I was moving to Mount Airy, Maryland and contacted me for Pilates sessions for her and her daughter. They moved to the same area and now live only 15 minutes away. Holy frickin Molly, Rebecca that is so cool. That's so fun. This is why it's important to share with people you never know what's going to happen in your life because of it. And number three, she converted two of her in person clients from Arizona to be virtual clients. Rebecca, it's so huge, you're making a big life change, I had to do that in 2020 and it's humongous. I disappointed a lot of people by moving. Oddly enough, the most people I disappointed were the ones who were not taking virtually with me at that time. And realize I was never going to reopen because I was moving but it is a massive deal when you can change your life and take on the next steps and be there for the family you want to be there for and your clients are so impacted by you. They know that they can get the same amount of amazingness from you virtually as they could in person. So congratulations. Thanks for sharing your win. All right, our next FYF is from Yasmine Scholten, she is eLevate round two, I love this human so much. So she said she had a good practice session with her partner, Karen. We laughed a lot and we know each other so much better and I'm feeling safe talking, safe with my talk around English and air quotes. And parentheses she means, I don't know a lot of English words. So I talk around the word to explain it. And I love this one so much because Yasmine is an amazing teacher and I have watched her teach for many, many months now. And I actually think your English is phenomenal. But I do know it's your third or fourth language. And I just love that you're putting yourself out there in this very vulnerable state and you love Pilates so much that you are willing to put yourself out there and challenge yourself in such a big way. So thank you for sharing this with people. I'm sure there are many people where English is their first language and it scares them so much to teach another teacher. And I hope that this one inspires so many to show up and teach other people because you know what, teachers need teachers too. And if you're not a teacher, listen to this. Whatever modality that you are in, allow someone to pour into you and allow yourself to pour into that, you'd be surprised how much you do know, and how amazing it is to give to someone else. All right, our next one before I share mine (...) So, we've been following her FYF journey, I'm sure you know. She is longtime listener longtime caller. So, she started her new job at Washington University. I remember she was like trying to find a job and we found the job and she was like being until she saw it and like, boom, so she's got to start her new job. She had a fantastic first week the work is fun, and the people are great. This is the place I can stay for a while. It feels so so so good to be back in higher education. I really feel like the universe is paying me back for everything I sacrifice and struggle with in the past year. Added that I am a Pilates instructor to my LinkedIn tagline. I am both a higher education professional and a Pilates professional. No more either or no more pretending to be my colleague to my colleagues that there's only one face in my professional life. I'm still figuring how I want to show up on the LinkedIn with regards to reaching my ICA. But this is a big first step. Okay, I'm going to just take a sidetrack before I get her next bullet. Fucking phenomenal. I love when we own all the multi hyphenate we have in this world. We are not just one thing or another, people. So way to go Allison. Third point had a fantastic trip to London this week, including hanging out with Sam. How amazing I can friends wherever I go. I'm so glad I took the plunge on that trip. So Sam is one of our other Agency members at Elsinore Agency, and they got to meet up on another side of the world which I fuckin love. I'm going to call a little win on that for myself. And her fourth one is had fun discussing radical candor at book clubs. So glad I finally made it to one, feeling good as I'm heading into the weekend, y'all if you haven't read Radical Candor, you should is a phenomenal book about how to speak to people in your life. And it's really hilarious. My husband only found out recently what my original, what my original degree was in, in college, which is interpersonal organizational communication. And oh my gosh, Radical Candor has been so helpful, and just how we show up as humans in our own companies and how I like to show up working with our team and I don't always do it the way I want to. I'll be really frickin honest. It's not always possible. But we're not fucking perfect. So there's that. But I do love lean on Radical Candor to at least apologize and own where I am, You know, I didn't say that the way I wanted to say that. Let me say that a different way. All right. Well, it wouldn't be FYF I didn't share my win. So, my win this week. It's actually, it feels quite simple. In fact, I paused for a length of time that my team had to edit out for you. Because I have to remind myself, this is a massive win. So, the month of June was pretty chaotic. Okay, first of all, it was my dad's birthday and my sister's birthday. There's Father's Day. One of our OPC teachers come in to film then that teacher left literally five hours before some friends flew in from Atlanta. And so she's taking off, we're going to dinner with people that are coming in that we want to see, I wanted to see, but like after a whole weekend of filming with someone, there's like a lot going on there. Then they were here for three days. They left my sister drove in. Nice sister's birthday was on the 15th. My sister on the 14th. so I got to see her for dinner. Our friends landed after her dip birthday dinner. Like literally on the 14th the day before our birthday. So we made her celebrate early thanks Lacy. They land, we pick them up. I'm like okay, you're here. I'm going to bed. Then we like did an amazing weekend trip as I told you about last week. And it was phenomenal. But here, I sit here, and we are back on our gameplan, back in our habits, back in our routines and it was actually not hard to get back there. And I show this as a win because this, you're never going to have 300 and whatever 50 something days of the year have your perfect routines. There are going to be many a days that do not fall in line with a routine that you wanted or the plans that you had. And especially when two to three weeks of a month can be completely outside of your routine. It is so easy to just go after routine. Nothing goes, it's a free for all ,here I go. But the truth is that even though I slept in when my friends were here and we like enjoyed ourselves and party like it was 1999, like I was 21 again, which we are, no we figured that out real quick. The day after they left I dropped right back into my routines and I dropped back into, What is the purpose of this week? What is the purpose of this day? Why are we doing what we're doing? And that is a win. And I will shout that out as a win every single week. Even if I have to pep talk myself to give it to you, because you have to know we have to hear that all the people that you're following, all the people you're listening, all the people you think are experts in their area, and I say experts with some quotations around it. They are also human beings trying to figure their shit out. They are, and if they are not, run the fuck away. If they're like, I have all the answers, only me. I've got it. I think that's a sign of a cult leader. Just gonna say that. No, I have a lot of answers from a lot of experience of fucking things up and hiring amazing people who've been where I want to go. But I'm still a human being in process. And not every day is a morning routine I want, not every night is the evening routine I want, some nights are vacation. But I am celebrating the win that I went from vacation mode to the routine that makes me feel like a massively amazing human within 24 hours. And you do not need to have these wins that are like, oh my god, I had a lunch it was six figures. Oh my god, like, I'm just like so perfect in meal prep and I like got eight hours asleep and I don't text them people are there and my phone is away and I'm so present all the time. No one is. So, my goodness you do not need to be. I promise that. And if you are a real human being celebrating these little wins where you're like, you know what, I did the fucking thing to the best of my ability. F Yeah, I'm here to celebrate that with you. Thank you so much for listening this podcast. Share your wins with us so I can share them with everyone and have an amazing day.That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

In this vulnerable and revealing episode, I cover some critical topics when it comes to investing in business coaching for yourself. I've invested over $150k learning how to grow my business to multiple-6+ figures, and I'm sharing things I didn't know before I invested (but sure wish I had!). It's REALLY important to know how to identify signs of manipulation or indoctrination in someone's marketing so you know what you're getting into before you buy (this applies to every industry, although I'm being specific to coaching here). Even after you're in a program, you'll want to be on the lookout for some shady culty practices that keep you silenced, shaming yourself, and coming back for more even though it feels awful. I'm also sharing the customer service lessons I learned and what NOT to do to build strong customer relationships, deliver what you promise, and ultimately create a positive reputation for your business. You'll hear why it's valuable to invest in high-ticket groups and masterminds (I always will!) while also deciding what you need to learn most and making sure your investment matches. Tune in for… Culty practices many marketers use to reel you in and keep you investing even if it's not in your best interest - and how to avoid them What I learned about how NOT to treat your customers How to use your discernment in business investments When to put on your coach hat vs. CEO hat & so much more!
