It's the LAST podcast of 2025 so we're going DEEP! Whether you've listened to all 459 episodes or you're brand new to The Todd Durkin IMPACT SHOW, this one is going to hit you right in the heart and soul. This episode wraps up our powerful 3-part Annual Strategic Plan series and it's not just about goals or calendars… it's about your LIFE. In this episode, I invite you to slow down, breathe, take in the essence of this season and really feel this conversation. In Part 3 today, we zoom way out and ask the BIG questions that truly shape who you're becoming as a person and the life & legacy that you're creating. You're going to love it! Here's what to expect in Episode 459: Why this isn't just about having a great year — but about crafting a life that aligns with how God created you to live. The 10 deepest life questions I ask myself — questions around purpose, mission, values, faith, healing, legacy, and IMPACT. How your "Big 5" for Life should drive every decision you're making right now (whether you realize it or not). The difference between running from something vs. running to something — and which one is better. Why you can't build a new future while dragging old wounds, fears, or limiting beliefs into it. How to LET-GO of the past and move into a new future in 2026 and beyond. A powerful challenge to examine your relationship with God, your body, your mind, and your spirit. What it truly means to live a life worth telling a story about — and how your life is already teaching others something extraordinary.  Your Tombstone Statement. Why this should inspire you to live your best LIFE NOW!! This episode is meant to be experienced with an open heart, a willingness to be honest with yourself, and a journal in hand (or your Annual Strategic Plan). It's reflective. It's challenging. It's spiritual. It's empowering. And it's designed to help you step into 2026 — and beyond — aligned, intentional, and on-fire. If you're ready to stop drifting, start living even more on purpose, and answer the call on your life, this episode is for YOU. If this episode hits you deep, don't keep it to yourself. Please share Episode 459 on your social media, tag me on IG: @todddurkin, and let me know which of the 10 life questions spoke to you the most. Screenshot it, post it to your stories, or send it to a friend who needs this message right now. Let's start deeper conversations, help more people step into their best life in 2026 and beyond, and spread even more IMPACT.

Comp cruise with Margaritaville at Sea with special guest Marc | Hurdy Gurdy Travel Podcast How did I score a free (or nearly free) balcony suite cruise using a mix of credit card points and casino loyalty perks? In this episode of the Hurdy Gurdy Travel Podcast, host Justin Vacula breaks down his December 2025 Margaritaville at Sea cruise and explains the strategy behind turning a comp cruise offer into a suite-level upgrade. I cover the whole experience from start to finish: booking and pre-cruise planning, travel to the port, first impressions of the ship, and a detailed look at the balcony suite amenities. You'll also hear my honest take on dining onboard, what felt worth it, what I'd skip next time, and how Margaritaville at Sea compares to other cruises and travel redemptions. We also get into the casino side of cruising: casino promotions, random drawings, rewards programs, and gambling strategy, including sessions of blackjack and craps, and how I think about offers and play when the goal is maximizing overall value. If you're into points and miles, MGM Rewards, casino comps, status matches, and travel hacking, this episode is packed with practical takeaways you can apply to your own trips.

Scot and Jeff discuss The Strokes with Christopher Scalia.Introducing the Band:Your hosts Scot Bertram (@ScotBertram) and Jeff Blehar (@EsotericCD) with guest Christopher Scalia. Chris is a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and the author of 13 Novels Conservatives Will Love (But Probably Haven't Read), a perfect Christmas gift for your favorite person. Find him on X at @CJScalia.Christopher's Music Pick: The StrokesThe Strokes emerged at the beginning of the 2000s with a sound that felt both familiar and bracingly new. Drawing on punk, garage rock, and even classic new wave, they stripped things down to tight guitars, propulsive rhythms, and songs that valued economy over excess (at least for a time). Is This It quickly became a defining album of its era, with tracks like “Last Nite,” “Someday,” and “Hard to Explain” setting a template that would influence an entire wave of bands that followed.In this episode, we walk through the band's discography from start to finish, looking closely at how their sound and approach evolved over time. We move from the focused urgency of Room on Fire to the more expansive ambitions of First Impressions of Earth, the occasional experiments on Angles and Comedown Machine, and the late-career recalibration that arrived with The New Abnormal. Along the way, we also talk about the personalities and dynamics that shaped the band's output, from Julian Casablancas's distorted vocal style to the tight, interlocking guitar work of Nick Valensi and Albert Hammond Jr. You'll better understand how The Strokes's career actually unfolded. Why some records landed immediately, why others took longer to be reassessed, and how the band managed to remain relevant without simply repeating themselves. In the end, this is less about hype or revival and more about what remains when you line the records up and actually listen.The Strokes's story is also about timing and context: arriving when rock music was bloated, polished, and often self-serious, and offering something leaner and more immediate in response. That initial impact cast a long shadow over everything that followed. This episode tries to sort out how much of their legacy rests on that first run of songs, and how much comes from the quieter, sometimes messier work of sticking around and continuing to make records on their own terms.

Why good communication requires presence, not performance.Effective communication isn't about perfecting your performance. According to Dr. Kate Mason, it's about being powerfully present.Mason is a world champion debater, executive communication coach, and author of the book Powerfully Likable. In her work coaching senior executives to communicate more effectively, she emphasizes that it's not about creating a performative persona, it's about uncovering the authentic communicator you already are. “The coaching is just bringing the real parts of you to the fore,” she says, “uncovering rather than totally building from scratch. A lot of people come to me and say, I need to be more warm or more insert adjective here. And I say, I'm not gonna help you be more warm if that's not what's coming naturally to you. I am gonna help you work out the thing you're already doing, the thing you're already saying, how to make that comfortable for people around you.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Mason and host Matt Abrahams discuss strategies for more present communication. From avoiding "imposing syndrome” to reducing “the delta between your real self and that corporate persona,” Mason's insights explore how we can bring more of our true selves to the table.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Dr. Kate MasonKate's Book: Powerfully LikeableEp. 210 First Impression to Lasting Impact: Use Status Strategically Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:32) - Why Confidence Is the Wrong Goal (03:55) - Bridging Your Real and Work Selves (05:27) - What Is Imposing Syndrome?

IDW artist Nick Roche returns to Triple Takeover to talk Transformers Generations: Thrilling 30 — the 2013–2014 toy line — and the unusual creative journey that links Sandstorm and Springer.Nick discusses supplying an original Sandstorm concept to Hasbro, how that design eventually became a finished toy, and how it was later retooled into Springer — released first, and coincidentally based on Nick's own comic design for the character as seen in IDW's Last Stand of the Wreckers.Along the way, the conversation drifts (as it tends to with Nick) into nostalgia, collecting, community, and the realities of working across different parts of the Transformers brand — including his more recent design work on Transformers Earthspark. Expect equal parts toy history, behind-the-scenes insight, and good-natured chaos.This episode began life as a commission from our patron, Josh Bell.—Chapters0:00:00 Intro0:05:54 Thrilling 30 In Context0:10:58 How the Sandstorm Concept Came to Be0:23:35 Nick's First Impressions of the Toys0:42:28 Translating From Sandstorm Into Springer0:49:27 How Nick Designed Springer for IDW1:02:04 Owning Toys of Characters You've Created1:18:53 TFSource Sponsor Segment1:28:35 Patreon Q&A—Enjoying the show?

This crossover episode by Gran Touring Motorsports team and Everything I Learned From Movies features a detailed review of the 1981 film 'King of the Mountain.' The hosts discuss the plot, where a group of friends race their high-powered cars on the perilous Mulholland Drive. The review touches on the film's characters, including Steve, Cal, Buddy, and Tina, and their dynamics. They provide insights into the movie's low budget, notable cars, and underlying themes. Highlighting bizarre dialogues, subpar acting, the film's portrayal of 1980s car culture, and the questionable quality of its race scenes, the review blends humor and in-depth analysis. The hosts also recommend related films and discuss their relevance within the broader car movie genre. ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00 Dramatic Intro and Movie Setup 02:05 First Impressions of 'King of the Mountain' 08:17 Cast and Crew Breakdown 15:05 Plot Analysis and Key Scenes 21:20 Character Dynamics and Relationships 36:18 Night Racing 36:48 Cal's Drama & Roger's Music Deal 37:57 Hollywood Bowl Shenanigans 38:18 Drunken Night and The Sexy Neighbor 43:19 Record Exec's Party 45:53 The Final Race 53:45 Movie Review and Fun Facts ==================== The Motoring Podcast Network : Years of racing, wrenching and Motorsports experience brings together a top notch collection of knowledge, stories and information. #everyonehasastory #gtmbreakfix - motoringpodcast.net More Information: Visit Our Website Become a VIP at: Patreon Online Magazine: Gran Touring Follow us on Social: Instagram

Who's ready for a great show this week?! I'm so fired up--the kids are home, Christmas is in the air, and today's episode is all about designing your most epic year yet — 2026. This is Part 2 of our Annual Strategic Planning Series. Last week we reflected on 2025. This week, we look forward to 2026 and make a decision about who we are becoming, what we are creating, and how we will achieve maximum success and fulfillment. In this episode, I walk you through: How to intentionally design 2026, instead of letting it happen by accident. Why choosing your ONE WORD for the year is a non-negotiable. The shift from what you need to do to who you must become. How raising your daily standards changes everything. We also talk about how I'm personally structuring my year and why fewer, clearer priorities lead to more focus and fulfillment. We dive into practical frameworks, including: Creating daily non-negotiables, as winners don't negotiate with themselves. Building a calendar that reflects your true priorities. Avoiding and eliminating energy leaks and distractions that drain your momentum. Upgrading your environment, your inputs, and the people around you. Installing weekly and quarterly review systems so you fall to your systems, not your excuses. Lastly, I want to challenge you with "10" powerful questions that will frame your entire 2026 year, including: What would a 10-out-of-10 year in 2026 look like? Who must I become to deserve the life I say I want? What habits must be installed, eliminated, or reinforced? What am I willing to say 'no' to so I can say 'yes' to living my best life? Where do I need more discipline—and where do I need more grace? What would my future-self thank me for if I started this habit or action-step today? This episode is a coaching session, a mindset reset, and a call to action as we head into the holidays. Let's be sure to slow down. Breathe. Relax. Pray on your vision. And commit to designing your 2026 year with deep purpose and conviction. If this episode hit home, please share it with a friend, teammate, or family member.

Eric Immesberger spent over 20 years as a New York ATF agent, working undercover, taking down violent criminals, dismantling gun-trafficking networks, and operating inside some of the most dangerous environments in the country. In this episode, Eric shares the real stories behind his career—from his early years as a Brooklyn detective to high-risk federal operations, major crime investigations, and the intense pressure of hunting armed offenders in New York. He opens up about the violence he witnessed, the criminals he pursued, the psychological toll of undercover work, and the personal sacrifices required to do the job. This interview dives deep into the realities of federal law enforcement: firearms trafficking, gang cases, task-force operations, trauma, mental health, and life after retirement. If you're interested in true crime, federal agents, New York law enforcement, or raw stories of danger, survival, and justice, this is one of the most revealing conversations you'll hear. _____________________________________________ #ATFAgent #FederalAgent #LawEnforcementStories #CrimeInterview #UndercoverOperations #TrueCrimePodcast #JusticeSystem #lockedinpodcast _____________________________________________ Thanks to AURA FRAMES, BLUECHEW & PRIZEPICKS for sponsoring this episode: Aura Frames: Exclusive $35 off Carver Mat at https://on.auraframes.com/LOCKEDIN.

It's January of 1979, and 28-year-old Dale Earnhardt is ready to embark on the greatest challenge he's faced in his young career to date: a full season in the NASCAR Cup Series. As the teams and haulers head west to California to kick things off, we zero in on the blue-and-yellow Osterlund Racing No. 2, which Dale will chauffeur for the first time on a road course. After a promising afternoon, his overzealousness gets the best of him, and the Rookie of the Year spotlight is shifted to another promising newcomer.Once the Los Angeles skyline is behind them, the teams and drivers travel back east, this time on a collision course with history. Thanks to the recent split in the American championship car ranks, the motorsports world was ripe for a new leader. NASCAR had just the bill of excitement to make its case to be a household name in entertainment: Daytona Speedweeks. But little did anyone know what the 1979 rendition of the Great American Race had in store for the world, and how a network television deal, a fight, and the return of NASCAR's King would win over a new generation of stock car fans.Real fans wear Dirty Mo.

Who's ready to take a breath, pause, and REFLECT with me during this busy, yet beautiful holiday season? This week's episode is a POWERFUL and timely one that can absolutely change the trajectory of your next year. Before you sprint into 2026 with new goals, new plans, and big dreams, I want you to PAUSE. Because clarity, confidence, and courage doesn't just come from looking forward — it comes from looking BACK and extracting the GOLD from 2025 also. And that's exactly what we are doing today. This episode is all about the transformational power of reflection and why it is STEP ONE in creating your BEST YEAR YET. You ready?! WHY REFLECTION MATTERS (5-GAME-CHANGING REASONS): 1. Reflection creates clarity amid the chaos. Life is loud. Fast. Busy. Reflection slows the noise, shifts you from autopilot to intentionality, and gives you crystal-clear focus. Clarity is jet fuel for your goals. 2. Reflection builds confidence by celebrating wins. Most people forget how far they've come. Reflection forces you to capture the GOOD, celebrate the wins, and remember this truth: YOU are capable, resilient, and stronger than you think. 3. Reflection turns challenges into wisdom. Challenges don't break you — they SHAPE you. When you write them down, pain turns into purpose and lessons become leverage for the future. 4. Reflection reduces stress and anxiety. Writing is therapeutic. When thoughts stay in your head, they create pressure. When they hit paper, they create perspective. Lighten the load. Breathe. Release. 5. Reflection realigns you with purpose and values. Reflection reconnects you to what matters most — faith, family, mission, calling. It's a recalibration of your internal GPS. 10 POWERFUL QUESTIONS TO REFLECT ON IN 2025: Take time with these. Don't rush them. Write them out. 1. What were your TOP 5 wins or highlights of 2025? 2. What were your biggest challenges — and what did they teach you? 3. In what ways did you grow the most this year? 4. What did you START in 2025 that you want to AMPLIFY in 2026? 5. What did you tolerate in 2025 that you will NO LONGER tolerate in 2026? 6. What relationships mattered most — and how can you be more intentional with them? 7. What habits FUELED you? What habits DRAINED you? 8. What are you most PROUD of in 2025? 9. Where did you feel the presence of God the most this year? 10. If 2025 were a chapter in the book of your life, what would the TITLE be? These questions are where breakthroughs happen. Not only do I share many of my answers, I ask you to answer them as well. When you start with reflection, your goals become more meaningful, your vision becomes clearer, and your drive becomes PURER. ACTION STEPS: Please Block out 30–60 minutes this week, find a quiet space, grab your journal or Annual Strategic Plan, and start writing. Breathe. Reflect. Don't overthink it. When you take time to pause and look back, you extract the wisdom of 2025 and create a powerful launchpad for what's next.

On this special episode of On the Corner of Main Street, Plaza CEO Jonathan Jossel and hotel director Gary Vickery return after a brief break with heavy hearts to remember their friend and executive casino host, Aquarius "Q" Wilkinson. They open the show in a quieter, somber mood, sharing the news of Q's passing and reflecting on the shock that has rippled through the Plaza, downtown Las Vegas, and Q's extended family of guests. What was planned as a normal episode instead becomes a toast to a man who embodied hospitality and made everyone around him feel like a VIP. Before the replay begins, Jonathan and Gary talk about the last week at the Plaza and the overwhelming response from Q's players and friends around the country. They share messages from guests who still came in for planned trips, how the team rallied to make sure those visits stayed special, and why Q's presence is still felt on the casino floor. They also explain how listeners can support his family through the GoFundMe that Rachel, his wife, set up and mention future plans for a celebration of life at the Plaza in Q's honor. The episode then rolls back to April 2021, when Q first sat down with the podcast to tell his story. Listeners hear how a nineteen year old kid working in an arcade at The Lady Luck in Bettendorf, Iowa, fell in love with taking care of people and followed that feeling into security and then surveillance in St. Louis. Q explains what it was like watching the casino from a dark room, writing up errors, and realizing that he wanted to be on the floor with the energy, not behind the cameras. That decision would send him to Detroit in 1999, dealing dice at the first MGM Casino there while the action was nonstop and the line to get in wrapped around the building. From there, Q walks through his move to Las Vegas and the dream of making it on the Strip. He talks about dealing at the Suncoast, then spending six years at the Palms during its peak, with ten dollar games replaced by green and black chip action and celebrities like Ben Affleck, Jerry Rice, and Missy Elliott learning craps at his table. Eventually, Q shares why he chose to return to the Midwest, become a host, then come back to Vegas and join the Plaza just before the pandemic. He explains what "being a host" really means to him: calling guests from his "laboratory," building trust, surprising them with experiences like helicopter rides and cornhole tournaments, and making a working class player feel as special as any high roller on the Strip. The conversation also captures Q's first impressions of the Plaza and how his view of downtown shifted once he was inside the building. He talks about the family feeling under the dome, the culture Jonathan and the leadership team built, and why he preferred the closeness and honesty of Plaza guests over the flash of larger resorts. Q reflects on working through the shutdown, training in the gym during COVID, watching downtown recover, and dreaming about how to use the Plaza's unique spaces for concerts and events. Throughout, his voice is full of optimism, gratitude, and a competitive desire to outwork and out-care every other host in town. This episode is both a time capsule and a tribute. If you knew Q, it is a chance to hear his laugh, his stories, and his philosophy on hospitality one more time. If you never met him, it is a chance to understand why so many people called him their host, their friend, and their reason for coming back to the Plaza. The team shares details on how to support his family through the GoFundMe linked with the episode and invites listeners to raise a glass, share their memories, and help keep Q's spirit alive on the corner of Main Street. https://www.gofundme.com/f/in-memory-of-q-helping-his-family 00:00 Introduction and Somber Mood 00:46 Remembering Aquarius Q Wilkinson 01:17 Tributes and Memories 03:46 Celebration of Life and GoFundMe 04:31 Interview with Aquarius Q Wilkinson 05:19 Q's Early Career in the Casino Industry 07:31 Transition to Surveillance and Dealing 08:22 Moving to Detroit and Becoming a Dealer 12:48 Journey to Las Vegas 14:37 Life at the Palms Casino 17:09 Switch to Casino Host and Personal Reflections 18:25 What Does a Casino Host Do? 18:54 Building Relationships with Clients 20:24 Returning to Vegas 21:05 First Impressions of the Plaza 23:53 Creating Memorable Experiences 34:50 Adapting During the Pandemic 37:42 Future Plans for the Plaza 39:17 Conclusion and Contact Information

In this powerful episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with one of the most influential minds in modern aesthetics, Dr. Steven Dayan — facial plastic surgeon, New York Times bestselling author, educator, and founder of XOMD Skincare. Together, they explore the deeper layers of beauty: the biology, the psychology, and the emotional resonance that shape how we see ourselves and others.Dr. Dayan reflects on his unconventional path from sculptor to surgeon, sharing how art, science, and human emotion converged to form his philosophy of aesthetics. Beauty, he explains, is rooted in evolution — a subconscious signal of wellness and vitality — but attraction is the true driver of human connection. Confidence, authenticity, posture, expression, and energy all play into how attractive we feel, and therefore how we're perceived.Throughout the conversation, Dr. Dayan breaks down the subtle, powerful ways aesthetic treatments can influence mood and behavior. Small changes can boost approachability and positivity — while overtreatment can create emotional dissonance and mistrust. He offers a candid look at how social media has reshaped our aesthetic bias, urging both providers and consumers to recalibrate toward natural proportions and personal identity.Dr. Dayan also gives listeners an inside look at XOMD Skincare, his newest innovation with Dr. Sabrina Fabi, built around the neurochemical link between skin health and confidence.Listen to the full episode to learn how Dr. Dayan is redefining beauty through the lens of neuroscience, culture, and human connection — and why confidence may be the most transformative aesthetic treatment of all.SHOP XOMD and use code SApod for 10% off!CHAPTERS:(0:02) - Introduction & Guest Welcome(1:12) - Early Life, Medicine & the Path to Surgery(3:01) - Writing, Creativity & the Philosophy of Beauty(6:05) - Defining Beauty: Neuroscience, Evolution & Emotion(11:00) - Beauty vs. Attraction & the Role of Confidence(14:50) - Social Media, Trends & Aesthetic Bias(18:40) - Authenticity, Expression & First Impressions(21:03) - Rethinking Training, Safety & Best Practices(24:00) - Global Beauty Standards & Cultural PerspectivesPlease fill out this survey to give us feedback on the show!Don't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!

MAL Description: It was 3002, and the human civilization had crumbled and rebuilt itself again and again over the thousand years, despite the destruction and challenge brought by the harsh nature.   In this era of constant war against nature and havoc, construction teams were the star of the economy system, the conquering force as well as a weapon themselves, because heavy robots were used in construction works to speed up efficiency.   Jumbor was the leader of a famous construction team of a little country with a cute princess. One day, as their group was about to start the reconstruction work of a tunnel which was destroyed by an earthquake, a much more powerful construction team arrived and claimed the land in no time, killing Jumbor who tried to protect his teammates against the cruel opponents...   Jumbor woke up in 3007, finding himself revived in his own clone body (memory transplanted) which has a physical age of 5 years old, and in addition to that, his body was partly mechanized. His robot arms are linked up to and directly controlled by his brain's signals. He was told that the country had gone and the princess and the king disappeared, and he discovered that his mechanized body is very powerful. He was also told he was 'last of the series.   Show Notes: • You can reach us at Twitter/X @shonenflopcast, Bluesky shonenflop.bsky.social, or email shonenflop@gmail.com   • Help keep the show running by joining the Shonen Flop Patreon at patreon.com/shonenflop.

This week's episode comes to you straight from the breathtaking mountains of Whitefish, Montana, where our recent Annual IMPACT Retreat reached an entirely new level of inspiration, depth, and energy. The room was electric, the ambience was inspiring, and the conversations were powerful. And today, I've got something incredibly special for you — a LIVE interview with one of my closest friends and one of the brightest minds in all of professional sports, Chris Young, better known as "CY." Chris isn't just the President of the Texas Rangers — he's a Princeton graduate, a 17- year professional baseball veteran, a Major League All-Star, and a World Series champion both as a player and as an executive. But beyond the titles, CY is one of the most thoughtful, grounded, humble, and high-performing leaders I know. I trained him for more than a decade through the ups, the downs, the injuries, the comebacks, and the championship moments. We've shared thousands of hours in the gym, countless conversations about mindset, family, excellence, adversity, and purpose… and to bring him to Whitefish this year was truly special. In this candid, emotional, and wisdom-filled conversation, CY opens up about his journey from Princeton to the Big Leagues to leading a world-class MLB organization. He talks about culture, leadership, adversity, mindset, fatherhood, and the exact values that have shaped his life and the Texas Rangers clubhouse. If you're a business owner, parent, athlete, coach, sports fan, or anyone striving to be a better leader, this episode is going to speak directly to your soul. What You'll Learn in This Episode: The core values CY built the Rangers organization around and how YOU can apply them to your team, business, or family. How to eliminate toxicity, reinforce standards, and lead people with clarity and accountability. Why baseball — and life — is a game of failure, and how resilience and self-belief can change everything. Powerful stories from CY's playing days, including injuries, comebacks, competition, and even a Major League brawl (This was funny!). Why your environment, your training partners, and your inner circle matter more than you think. CY's most emotional moment in baseball and the story of pitching the day after his father passed. Lessons on fatherhood, youth sports, and raising confident, grounded kids. How to create an environment where people outperform expectations and realize their dreams.

Today, Rachel and Callie give their first impressions of the new cast of ‘Vanderpump Rules' Season 12 (01:34). They share their skepticism about some of the cast members imitating the OG cast and admit they're interested in the more modern jobs of the staff. Next, they break down the new season of ‘The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,' where we meet a new cast member: Rachel Zoe (11:25). She's everything that they want in a housewife, and they appreciate the camaraderie of the women that seems to apparently fade as the season goes on. Finally, they discuss ‘The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City,' during which Meredith makes them all take a drug test but fails to take one herself (24:50). They talk about being tired of hearing about Whitney Rose's business, and about Mary's son having to go to jail until January.
