Mama June's $10 weight loss wisdom might not be worth even that. When Jeff gifted a Cameo featuring the reality star dispensing advice about yogurt and cottage cheese while appearing less than put-together, the recipient couldn't help but question her claim about wearing a medium size. (Talk about suspicious.) The whole experience sparked a plan to send discounted celebrity videos as Christmas gifts, though premium options from shows like Gilmore Girls and Grey's Anatomy remain stubbornly expensive at over $200.Have you noticed how everything costs more these days? From drag shows to meat raffles, entertainment prices have gotten completely unreasonable. Even dental care is breaking the bank—after a periodontist recommended an extra cleaning to monitor jaw surgery recovery, one speaker admitted they'll probably reschedule multiple times before actually showing up. In the entertainment world, Black Phone 2 delivered more supernatural elements than its predecessor but didn't quite measure up overall, while a casual baby shower at Delaware revealed how modern celebrations skip traditional games entirely.The week's wildest moment? A marijuana experience gone so wrong that it ended with severe dizziness, vision problems, and a permanent goodbye to cannabis. After eventually recovering with candy and games, the next day brought a too-difficult Pilates class with Nettie—walking to the Bean proved much more manageable.
This week, we're talking about what it means to be both introverted and ADHD, and how those two identities can collide—or beautifully harmonize—when you finally understand yourself. Our guest is Kyrus Keenan Westcott, better known as Ky, the creator behind The Vibe With Ky. With more than 1.5 million followers across TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook, Ky has become a leading voice for ADHD awareness, mental health, and the art of adulting without apology.Ky joins Pete and Nikki to share his story of a late ADHD diagnosis at age 35—how it reshaped his understanding of his past, and how he processed it through stages of grief, anger, and acceptance. We talk about what it means to find peace after years of wondering, “If I had only known sooner.”Then we dig into introversion. Ky helps us debunk the myths—no, being an introvert doesn't mean you hate people, and it's not the same as social anxiety. It's about energy: how you spend it, how you recover it, and how to protect it through healthy boundaries. From managing “introvert guilt” to learning the beauty of traveling solo and saying no without shame, Ky brings humor and humanity to the experience of living quietly in a loud world.Oh, and yes—there's Gilmore Girls talk. Plus, Ky reveals his brand-new fragrance collaboration: “Why Did I Walk Into This Room?”, a cherry-pie-and-cinnamon scent honoring the spirit of adult ADHD.If you've ever wrestled with the feeling that you're “too quiet,” “too tired,” or “too late,” this episode will remind you that your timing and your energy are perfect—just the way they are.Links & NotesWhy Did I Walk Into This Room? collaboration with The Vibe With KyThe Vibe With KySupport the Show on PatreonDig into the podcast Shownotes Database (00:00) - Welcome to Taking Control: The ADHD Podcast (02:40) - Introducing Kyrus Keenan Wescott (11:42) - Introversion (36:14) - Ky's ADHD Fragrance! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we finish our series on Deadly Premonition. We talk a bit about the main story, the life sim, how we get around and more before turning to takeaways. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: To Ch 21 (Tim) and only Ch 8 (Brett) Issues covered: Cry-baby Timothy, pre-show announcements, the game coming more quickly at the end, prime time television and Twin Peaks, describing an actual puzzle, the feeling of a web of connections between people both surface and hidden, the Ingram twins and their grandfather and Kaysen, dialogue with characters on their life sim paths, having the spatial awareness of the town vs not in television, you get to live in the town, the limitations of the driving model, wanting a simpler driving model, having conversation while the character is being driven instead, an unpolished gem, when time pauses vs when it will advance and keeping you unsettled, dealing with open world games with day/night cycles and running into the time problem, being unclear what other games this inspired, a different kind of mature, leaning into the quirk (and your constraints), stunt comedy, not getting enough of this sort of game, integrating the player into the town, inspirations with a twist. Games, people, and influences mentioned or discussed: Video Game History Foundation, Rocksmith, Twin Peaks, David Lynch, Mark Frost, Resident Evil, Yakuza (series), Breaking Bad, The Last of Us, Nick Offerman, Gilmore Girls, Red Dead Redemption, Assassin's Creed, L.

Flashback! It's an emotional episode on this week's Gilmore Girls. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
**Discussion begins at 7:10**The Life and Death Brigade on Gilmore Girls, Chuck Bass being kidnapped by a secret society during a college visit to Yale, Joshua Jackson and Paul Walker joining a dangerous secret society in the 2000 movie The Skulls... These are all pop culture references to one of the most famous secret societies on one of the most elite college campuses in the US. This society, which selects 15 members annually from one of the most exclusive campuses in the world, was allegedly inspired by the Freemasons. It is rumored that after graduation, members known as Bonesmen, are placed in high ranking positions in government, banking, law, education, and intelligence agencies to shape policy after graduation. The 2,600 Patriarchs, or members who have since graduated, include 3 former presidents - President William Taft, George HW Bush, and George W Bush; leaders in business - like the founder of FedEx, founder of Time, Life, and Fortune Magazines, the CEO of Blackstone, and dynasties like the Rockefeller and Ford families; as well was leaders in finance, politicians on the state and federal level, high ranking government advisors, supreme court justices, University professors/presidents, journalists, athletes, and Hollywood stars. The 2004 presidential election actually pitted 2 Patriarchs – George W Bush and John Kerry, against each other, with both refusing to comment when asked about their membership. What are the odds that the last 2 men standing in a battle for leadership of the US are both members of this secret society? Is this secret society really a breeding ground for a powerful network of people that are secretly running the US? Is it a branch of a larger network that with European ties manipulating us from the inside? Today we are going to learn about the secret society, and decide if it's just a club for high achieving college kids, or if there is something more sinister at play.Send us a textSupport the showTheme song by INDA

Welcome Pixie Dusters! Join your hosts Sammi and Ashley for a hilariously off-topic and insightful wrap-up of October! It's time to wrap up "Agatha All Along" with the finale, "Maiden Mother Crone." We break down all the big reveals, the emotional core of the series (hello, Maiden Mother Crone concept!), and discuss the shocking truth about Agatha's son, Nicholas. You'll also hear about our annual Halloween traditions, including watching "Hocus Pocus" and the new, surprisingly intense "Goosebumps" series on Disney Plus. Plus, Ashley shares her excitement for a certain Disney Channel witch's new Hallmark movie. Rant Alert!: Get ready for some strong opinions as we discuss the current season of Dancing with the Stars! We're fully invested in watching our faves (especially Danielle Fishel) and have some thoughts on who's a "star" and who's just a "celebrity." We veer wildly into a discussion of Gilmore Girls nostalgia, the disappointing trend of short streaming seasons, and an epic rant about one of the worst TV show endings of all time (you know the one!).Produced by: Limitless Broadcasting Network.For more info, merch, and all the other podcasts, visit: www.limitlessbroadcastingnetwork.comCheck out Ashley's Disney deep dives at: pixiedustfiles.wordpress.comFollow your new Disney besties on Instagram @pixiedusttwinspodcastFollow Dan, honorary third host of the "Pixie Dust Twins" Podcast, and King of the Manifestos: @Dantaastic on Instagram and YouTube
In this episode, Alyssa and Nadia catch up on Nadia's job search for a clinical research co-op and reflect on the "soft skills" she's been building for her future medical career.Nadia opens up about the humbling reality of applying to 20+ co-op positions over two months and receiving just one interview. She's specifically seeking clinical research or clinical trials work — not another medical assistant role — because she wants to explore new sides of healthcare before committing to medical school. They discuss the pressure of being selective while also needing to secure something, and how different this process feels when you're still a student versus someone with a mortgage and kids to support.The conversation shifts to bigger healthcare issues: the loss of SNAP benefits for November, Nadia's past research on sanctuary policies and undocumented immigrants' access to food stamps and prenatal care, and how these social determinants of health matter for doctors. Alyssa reflects on what makes a good physician beyond just medical knowledge — communication skills, empathy, awareness of patients' lived experiences, and the ability to work with a healthcare team.They also touch on internet outages affecting work and school, Nadia's love of rewatching Gilmore Girls, and a new Netflix medical show called "Doc" about a brilliant but cold physician who becomes kind again after a brain injury erases 8 years of her memory.At its core, this episode is about preparation: the unsexy, uncertain work of building a foundation for a career that demands not just knowledge, but compassion, adaptability, and real-world understanding.TakeawaysThe co-op/internship process can be humbling — even when you're qualified and confident in your skillsBeing selective about opportunities is important, but so is recognizing when to be flexibleClinical research experience doesn't always "count" the way traditional lab research does for med school applicationsPursuing what genuinely interests you (not just what looks good) shows authenticity to admissions committeesUnderstanding social determinants of health — like access to food stamps, immigration status, healthcare barriers — is critical for future physiciansA good doctor needs more than medical knowledge: communication, empathy, cultural awareness, teamwork, and clinical reasoningPre-med students should focus on gathering "soft skills" before medical school through diverse work and research experiencesWorking in healthcare policy and equity research provides valuable perspective for patient careChapters0:10–1:50 – Internet Outages and Tech Dependence (Amazon Cloud Issues)1:51–3:16 – From Paper Charts to Digital: How Healthcare Adapted3:17–5:23 – The Co-op Hunt: 20 Applications, 1 Interview5:24–7:58 – Should Research "Count" for Med School?

We're diving into Mansfield Park in this first episode of season five of Pod and Prejudice. In today's chapters, we're taking it back to the generation before our heroine. We meet the Ward sisters who all marry into different social strata and learn how Fanny Price came to Mansfield Park. Topics discussed include the something borrowed, something blue tradition, Mrs. Norris as a charity case, cousins marrying, Sir Wobbles the Pug, the bashing down of Fanny Price, naming girls after their mothers, and wealth as access.Patron Study Questions this week come from Kaitlyn, Linnea, Avi, Ghenet, Melissa, Katie, and Liz. Topics discussed include our first poor MC, the three Ward sisters and their marriages, our impressions of the Bertrams, our predictions for the futures of the kids, Mrs. Norris's influence over Sir Thomas, and why the writing of MP may be so different from the other books we've read.Becca's Study Questions:Topics discussed include Austen's Dickensian turn, why the Bertrams keep Fanny separate, whether Fanny is better off at Mansfield, and why Edmund is so special.Funniest Quote(s):“But there are certainly not so many men of large fortune in the world, as there are pretty women to deserve them.”“Lady Bertram, who was a woman of very tranquil feelings and a temper remarkably easy and indolent, would have contented herself with merely giving up her sister, and thinking no more of the matter: but Mrs. Norris had a spirit of activity, which could not be satisfied till she had written a long and angry letter to Fanny”“I should wish to see them very good friends, and would on no account authorize in my girls the smallest degree of arrogance towards their relation; but still they cannot be equals.”“It is not very wonderful that with all their promising talents and early information, they should be entirely deficient in the less common acquirements of self-knowledge, generosity, and humility.”Questions Moving Forward: Will the cousins marry?Who wins the chapters? Edmund BertramGlossary of Terms and Phrases:Disoblige (v): offend (someone) by not acting in accordance with their wishes.Deportment (n): a person's behavior or manners.Emulation (n): effort to match or surpass a person or achievement, typically by imitation.Frank (v): to mark (a piece of mail) with an official signature or sign indicating the right of the sender to free mailing.Indolence (n): avoidance of activity or exertion; laziness.Injudicious (adj): showing very poor judgment; unwise.Prognostication (n): the action of foretelling or prophesying future events.Solicitude (n): care or concern for someone or something.Tractable (adj): easy to control or influence.Glossary of People, Places, and Things: Yours, Mine, and Ours, Jane Eyre, A Cinderella Story, Gilmore Girls, The Last of Us, Mean GirlsToday's episode is brought to you by You Pod It, Dude!

Please share it with at least ONE friend who you think needs to hear it!Actor, filmmaker and psychotherapist David Sutcliffe explores Hollywood's dark side, trauma healing, men's work and the power of core energetics therapy on episode 221 of the Far Out with Faust podcast.After two decades in television and film (Gilmore Girls, Private Practice, Cracked), Sutcliffe hit pause on Hollywood to figure out what was really running the show — inside himself. What started as a search for truth turned into a deep dive into core energetics therapy, a practice that uses the body to unlock buried emotion. Today he's helping men and women do the same: break old patterns, feel everything they've been avoiding, and live from a place that's actually real. His viral sit-down with Andrew Tate sparked conversations around masculinity, vulnerability and what it means to be authentic in a world built on performance.In this raw and revealing exchange, Faust and David crack open the illusion of control — from the psychology of fame to the programming woven into our culture. They get into how trauma shapes creativity, why emotional release is the real superpower, and what happens when you finally stop performing. From generational healing to spiritual surrender, this episode goes straight to the heart of what it means to feel human again.In this episode:

This week on the Pod, Amy and Maya confirm they are still part boy. Then they immediately get off the rails with a deep dive on Kratom. They reminisce about when they learned what “lot lizards” were. It's a real education this week. The ladies are so excited for the return of Chi Chi's Mexican Restaurant. They plot a double date to determine if the Chi Chi's hype is warranted. We know, we know…the plate is hot. Amy packs up the cabin and is also moving her household. The packing hell is real. Why do you always get injured packing up the cabin? Amy cries about mouse poop. The ladies discuss Tyler's Dad's Toilet Theory of Responsibility. Get this: Gen Z are getting married to their best friends regardless of gender or orientation. Maya and Amy review the Lilith Fair documentary. The fashion, the feminism, the 90s. Also, can we all agree that the Indigo Girls are saints? Next, some quick Cracker Barrel talk. Then, a quick Gilmore Girls love fest. Amy reviews Charlie Sheen's book. Maya plays some audio from a Hallmark movie called Love and Birding.
Today I am recapping episodes 3, 4, and 5 of the Golden Bachelor. I also discuss Love is Blind, Monster - The Ed Gein Story, as well as Gilmore Girls.

It's another week and we're looking to distract from the madness. We're slowly working our way into the distraction zone. We're using the rabbit holes of dog sitting, Gilmore Girls, and even TikTok at the moment. Algorithms are ruling the world as well as our lives. Somehow we found ourselves diving into Carrot Top, because we're professionals. We dive into the biopics and we're working on some lists. hopefully everyone is staying safe out there. We'll catch you next week.
As always, listner's discretion is advised as we kinda love Emily Gilmore and yah she's technically the villain

Send us a textToday we're bringing you a deep dive follow up to a very exciting and mostly spoiler free author interview episode with Hazel Mack all about the monster romcom series that stole our hearts: Haven Ever After! We'll be discussing all NINE books that complete this lighthearted happily ever after series including eight full length books, and one short novella. This series has every type of monster - gargoyles to vampires, witches to werewolves, and everyone in between… and they are ALL falling in love. Single dad, sports romance, enemies to lovers, fated mates, second chance romance, and he falls first are just some of the tropes we love. And don't worry… every book is at least a 3-4 on the spice scale, despite the Gilmore Girls vibes.
