Earworms!  We all have them, those songs that get stuck in our head and can't get them out, no matter what we we do.  This week we look at the top 20 earworms, as defined by science. We take a deep dive into the life and times of Harry Houdini, one of the most fascinating individuals I've ever read about! Aging--we're all doing it.  But there's good news, and I share that today!

This month, Cody is taking part in Great Cycle Challenge and pedaling throughout September to kick cancer's butt! Why? Because cancer is the largest killer of kids in the U.S. – on average, 38 kids die of cancer every week. This is horrible. Kids should be living live, not fighting for it! Cancer has taken too many lives and robbed too many kids of their childhood... And frankly, cancer needs to be dealt with once and for all. So I'm pedaling 500 miles this month to give cancer a good old-fashioned butt-kicking to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve. My goal is to raise $2,600 through my challenge... But I need your support. Can you sponsor me to help me kick cancer's butt? Simply click the link below to view my profile page and make a donation: https://greatcyclechallenge.com/Riders/CodyMarshall All funds raised will support Children's Cancer Research Fund to continue their work in developing innovative treatments and finding a cure for childhood cancer. When we're done, cancer will have nightmares... about us. And when you donate, you can also leave a message on my page about how badly you also want to kick cancer's butt. Thanks so much for your support.

TV Spinoffs.  It's one of my favorite topics.  I've put together a list of my favorite spin offs.  What are yours?

We are now in the second week of the Great Cycle Challenge in Canada. I thought this would be a good time to meet Ian Parker, who directs fundraising for the Sick Kids Foundation. We spoke about inspiring Canadians who cycle to raise money every August, the community created through our efforts, the importance of diversity and gratitude for Canadians who give.

Avi and I started our EMS careers at the same time a decade ago. We've seen and experienced lots of change in our agencies and the profession as a whole during that time. Our conversation identifies many of the problems facing EMS providers and firefighters today, addresses why so many are leaving the profession altogether and how those still serving can help themselves so they can better help others who need them. I apologize for the occasional fluctuation in volume of this episode, I did my best to equalize everything but there's only so much my limited knowledge and open source software can do. I'll get better, thanks for bearing with me! To support Avi's charitable efforts and learn more about the Great Cycle Challenge click here: https://greatcyclechallenge.com/Riders/OvadyahFreedberg To join the conversation on social media, Twitch and YouTube click here: https://linktr.ee/tindelsrazorThanks for listening!

Happy New Year Everyone! I’m so pumped to back working on the podcast after a holiday hiatus! I’ve missed hearing from you all!! We had a great holiday season and enjoyed time with family and friends and I hope you did too! It was wonderful to see our son playing with his cousins and enjoying the Christmas season filled with endless light displays, model trains and of course playing with every truck he could get his hands on! The past two months have been extra special as we were able to step away from his diagnosis and be fully present. We were overwhelmed by the generosity of organizations like the NEGU (Never Ever Give Up- Jessie Reese foundation), the Kaitlyn Langlois Memorial Fund and the Why Me & Sherry House here in Central Mass. We closed out the year with a BIG Thomas the Tank Engine Long Term Maintenance party and each family member signed a Monster Truck for Ollie! Did your family do anything special to commemorate treatment in 2019? Are you planning a treatment celebration for 2020? Is you family looking for other ways to support and raise funds for cancer research? If so, stay tuned to learn more about how the Great Cycle Challenge works and how you can get the whole family involved biking throughout the month of June! A.L.L.

We aren't doing enough. What is heart disease, is "cardio" really treadmills and bikes, and how does it all work together? The answer may surprise you. "Cardio" isn't what you think... We have this idea that "cardio" is running and cycling. That it's treadmills, bikes, and ellipticals. When we think of fitness we think "cardio" and "weights". Good news is... your idea of "cardio" is a bit off, and so is your idea of how to approach fitness in general. But that's not today's topic. Today we're talking about your heart, heart health, and how to keep your ticker strong and healthy. I'm taking time to shatter your idea of "cardio" because, well, I kind of have to get through that to get to the good stuff. Heart disease is a (solvable) problem. Heart disease, in its many forms, is the number one killer in the USA. The bad news is, we're not doing enough to stop it. With the way everyone in this country seems to be up in arms about gun control, you'd think they'd be even CRAZIER about stopping an even BIGGER killer. There are a number of factors that put you at risk for heart disease. Easiest way to protect from heart disease? Eliminate how many risk factors apply to you! So what are those risk factors, and how do you protect against them? Welcome to episode 93 :)  For the full blog post and show notes visit the blog here.

Free and cheap isn't always good. Free and cheap fitness is always an attractive option, but there's a major downside to it that most people don't often consider. What have you got to lose? We have, somehow, been conditioned to look for the cheapest thing when we're embarking on a fitness journey. The more stuff you'll give us, the bigger the gym, and the lower the price tag - the more we like it. We judge a gym's value on how much we get and how little we can pay. And if you want to "lock us in" to a contract? Forget it. And we find a gym that fits the bill and we think we're up and running! Really, we've set ourselves up for failure...

The list of obstacles never shrinks. If it's not one thing, it's another. Now, it seems, our own brains are working against us in our health & fitness efforts. But how, exactly? And how do we fight back? No, friend - you are mistaken. Health and fitness is always, it seems, harder than it has to be. If it's not one thing working against us, so we believe, it's another. Often times this is merely our perception and not, in fact, the truth. More often than not, the universe is not working against us - we simply feel that it is. We feel that we have an impossibly tall mountain to climb in order to get where we want to be. We feel that despite our best efforts there is simply too much in the way and though we WANT to, we simply cannot achieve our goals. I am here to tell you, friend - you are mistaken. This is simply how we feel, but in the usual course of things it is not a concrete fact. The universe is not working against you - it just feels that way. The stresses and pressures of life can often SEEM insurmountable, but I'm here to tell you, that you can, in fact, overcome it. You're not ENTIRELY wrong, though. While the Universe itself (with a capital "U") is not working against you, there are certain elements that are - and they're much closer to home than the grand idea of the "Universe". Your own brain and body, as a matter of fact, may be working against you in regard to your health and fitness. We discussed this in terms of your body when we talked about "Set-Point Theory" in episode 83 of the podcast. Recently I discovered that your brain does something eerily similar, albeit in a different fashion. It's just trying to help. The human brain is a truly incredible thing. It's incredibly powerful and is capable of so many things - it can even physically influence the body! That said, despite it's many marvels, there is simply a LOT of information to process each and every day. In order to be able to deal with it all and have you and I able to be functioning members of the world, it's developed ways - shortcuts, really - to help it process information. Your brain uses these "shortcuts" to help you make decisions and judgements. This, FitFriends, is where we begin to get into trouble. This is just the tip of the iceberg. This is a very long, involved conversation that requires much more of a deep dive than a blog post is going to be able to go. This topic is one of the many reasons I'm glad I have a podcast - I can discuss in 40 minutes what I can't necessarily blog about. So, please do give a listen to episode 91 of the podcast (linked below) where we do more of a deep dive on these mental shortcuts and how they get us into trouble. We're establishing a base here so we can have further, more specific conversations later. It's all very relevant to your health & fitness efforts, and I hope you'll find yourself able to deal with, and ultimately save yourself from, falling into some of these traps that we don't even realize we're stepping into. For the full blog post and show notes visit the blog here. What's in this episode:  We talk procrastination and National Running Day How things have been going lately Friend of the show Ben’s ride in the Great Cycle Challenge And we have a rather in-depth conversation about heuristics, cognitive bias, and how our brain may be inadvertently sabotaging our fitness efforts.

"Oh wow - that's crazy!" When we do things that aren't "normal", people don't know what to make of it. But... why is "normal"... normal? We understand how the world works. Every day we go about our lives with a certain understanding of how things are. We know what to expect. How things are typically going to go. What we can and can't do - should and shouldn't do. We know what to expect of our peers, too - all the same! Things that fall in the realm of the ordinary. So when someone does something out of the ordinary - we question them. We ridicule them. We call them (or the thing they're doing) "crazy". But why? After all - who decided what "normal" is, and thus, what "crazy" is?
