Dr.s Kay and Ray dole out their 8 awards to any reality television shows they watched in the months of April & (half of) May, 2025: The Valley, Summer House, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Southern Charm, Below Deck Sailing Yacht, and, on Netflix, Battle Camp and Million Dollar Secret. If you haven't heard of Netflix's shows, Battle Camp & Million Dollar Secret, they each offer a new premise for challenge-focused reality television–the former a mix between The Challenge and Perfect Match, and the latter a mix between Anonymous and The Trust. The players from Squid Game: The Challenge stole the screen time on Battle Camp, although for different reasons for each. Which of these shows did you watch? Which awards would you give them? For example, our “TESTosterboned” award is given to a reality TV castmate or moment where testosterone boned the acting party and led to a particularly patriarchal (racist, heterosexist) result, in any variety of ways. We call the opposite award, “The Bechdel TEST” (each award has “test” in the name, given our show's name!), which we give to the most feminist, anti-racist or queer moments or castmates of a given month. To whom or what moment might you give these two awards? To whom or what moment might we have? -------------------------------------------------------------------Listeners!

The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode 395 HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden and Dr. Craig Spodak GUEST: Paul Vigario, Founder and CEO of SurfCT DESCRIPTION Craig, Peter, and Paul Vigario explore the dental industry's complexities, discussing competition among doctors, sales perceptions, and entrepreneurial challenges. They emphasize personal growth, brand development, and redefining success in dentistry. The conversation highlights the importance of embracing risk, living authentically, and seeking mentorship while breaking free from industry constraints and societal expectations. The speakers encourage dentists to pursue their passions, make aligned choices, and leverage community support to navigate career challenges and achieve meaningful success. TAKEAWAYS The dental industry fosters a competitive environment among doctors, hindering collaboration. Sales skills are essential, despite the common belief that dentists should only educate. Many dentists view themselves as commodities due to a lack of branding and marketing. Entrepreneurship in dentistry is not for everyone, but everyone deserves a chance to try. Falling in love with the journey is vital for personal and professional growth. Instant gratification is a societal issue that affects the entrepreneurial mindset. Failure is a part of the journey, and learning from it is essential. Dentists often feel pressured to conform to societal expectations rather than pursue their true aspirations. Engaging in practical experiences is necessary for growth, rather than just theoretical learning. The older you get, the more risk-averse you become. Mentorship can be a catalyst for personal and professional growth. Dentists should not limit their identity to their profession. You can choose your path and make decisions that align with your happiness. The industry often positions dentists as operators, limiting their potential. Happiness should be the ultimate goal in your career.

The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode 392 HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden and Dr. Craig Spodak DESCRIPTION In this conversation, Craig and Peter discuss the evolving landscape of dentistry, emphasizing the importance of community, personal goals, and the transition from clinical practice to business ownership. The discussion highlights the potential for growth and opportunity within the dental field, encouraging dentists to redefine their identities and seek fulfillment beyond traditional roles. They touch on the journey of finding balance between clinical work and personal happiness, the significance of self-inventory, and the need for supportive networks to navigate career transitions.   TAKEAWAYS Dentistry is beautiful. It's like a snowflake. There's a lot of shame around leaving clinical practice. You can be a true dental business owner without picking up a handpiece. Your career as a dentist is tied to your identity. Many dentists feel trapped in their clinical roles. Exploring new skills can reignite passion in dentistry. Authenticity in practice is crucial for personal satisfaction. Community support can significantly impact career fulfillment. Burnout can often be misidentified as a desire to leave clinical work. Self-inventory helps clarify what brings joy and what detracts from it. Delegating tasks can enhance overall job satisfaction. It's important to reassess your career path periodically. Seeking mentorship can guide transitions.

The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode 389 HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden and Dr. Craig Spodak DESCRIPTION In this episode, Craig and Peter discuss the existential fears that dentists face, particularly around negative reviews and legal threats.

In this episode of The Southern Naturalist, Dr. Bob and Dr. Aimée Thomas explore the slimy, strange, and surprisingly intelligent world of slime molds — with a special focus on the infamous Fuligo septica, also known as dog vomit slime mold. Despite its less-than-appealing nickname, this bright yellow protist is a marvel of biology.Slime molds are cosmopolitan species, meaning they can be found all over the world — from your backyard mulch pile to deep forest floors. While F. septica takes center stage, we also explore a range of other slime mold species and what they reveal about the natural world.These unique organisms have long defied easy classification. Though they're often mistaken for fungi, slime molds are actually protists — a fascinating group of life forms that blur the lines between what we think we know about cells, movement, and even behavior.We discuss how scientists use slime molds to study things like traffic flow and network optimization, how some slime molds can “solve” mazes, and how their behavior continues to baffle researchers. You'll also hear about the strange folklore that surrounds slime molds across cultures and why these humble blobs have captured the human imagination for centuries.Whether you're a slime mold skeptic or a full-blown myxomycophile, this episode is a deep dive into the gooey, brainy, and totally bizarre world of some of nature's most overlooked organisms.Follow @SoNatPodcast on ⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠ and⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠!Visit our website at ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://lucec.loyno.edu/so-nat-podcast ⁠⁠⁠⁠Do you have any more questions about nature?
