Description: DDG just gave a masterclass on how to handle an arrogant stranger. While filming an IRL stream in Los Angeles, the rapper and YouTuber was confronted by a self-proclaimed "millionaire" who tried to look down on him for streaming in a public space. Little did he know, he was talking to one of the most successful independent creators in the game. In this episode, we break down the viral footage, the exact moment the tables turned, and why DDG's reaction is trending across TikTok and Twitter. We also discuss the growing tension between IRL streamers and the public in high-end LA neighborhoods.
This week on Anime Pulse we got Christmas Gift unboxings, the charity for a real life counterpart to a virtual horse, and Chicken Tikka Masala. Up first IRL news sees Andrew gets in some last minute shopping while he is in Scotland, and Joseph is totally cheating his way through a separate save in New Vegas. Then in the industry news some fans raise money to give a racing horse a place to retire, bet they'll be on Santa's good list. Right before reviews Joseph and Andrew perform the annual Anime Pulse gift exchange, what will they get? Finally reviews! Joseph ignores all the advances a bunch of hot demi-humans make towards him, because dammit he's a doctor not a bachelor! And Andrew heads to a small room to share it with a criminal as they sing their hearts out.

Today Dotodoya and Nanogenix conduct an IRL interview with the king of breaking expectations, Ironcane!
Jess Butcher MBE, CEO and founder of Scrollaware on her transition from tech entrepreneur to social advocate for digital balance. The award-winning consumer tech entrepreneur, (most notably with AR pioneer, Blippar), a Fortune "Most Powerful Female Entrepreneur", BBC's 100 Women and three times TEDx speaker, calls for an urgent, more ethical approach to societal tech-addiction. She argues that consumers, educators, legislators... and now business must take action to address the rapid society-wide growth of overwhelm, distraction, negativity, polarisation and loneliness . She shares evidence of the growing shoots of digital defiance among Gen Z and Gen Alpha and cites marketers and advertisers from KitKat to Heineken who are already leveraging cultural changes to shift the conversation. She declares this the next CSR frontier, with the potential for businesses to work together to reprioritise the IRL embodied lives of both their staff and customers.
This week on Anime Pulse we got more vtuber drama, sexy GILF dragons, and awkward relationships in anime.

And finally more reviews with Joseph going from king to boy to dragon lord, and Andrew watches over two angels who retconned their entire first season.
Lured Up Podcast 376: A Ticket For Every Event Live Streamed on - 12/16/25 Publish Date - 12/19/25 The game is overrun with costume Pokémon which has to mean that the Holiday Season is upon us! Are you Team Sudowoodo or Team Charjabug? One thing is for sure, we know Adam will be out catching every Delibird he can find! With two weeks of Holiday events ahead of us, we start things off with a recap of the last week of gameplay including Well Armed, GMAX Snorlax, and Citi Safari events. With the Well Armed's Global Challenges powering extra Candy XL for GMAX Snorlax, Trainers had good reason to get out there and grind over the last week. The Holiday events kicked off this week and brought a GO Pass along with it, but the rewards may not be the strongest this time around. Will a Snom Beanie be enough to sell the GO Pass? We don't think so but Trainers may be in it more for the process at this point. Part 2 of the Holiday Event picks up on Christmas Eve and brings back some past costume Pokémon as well as the debut of the Rolycoly line. The Winter Weekend mini-event opens the GO Pass progression up and adds a Timed Research as well. While Niantic hasn't shared the January Content Update yet, they are giving us plenty of event blogs to get us excited. Of course we will have a New Year's event which will bring back some popular costume Pokémon and some fancy avatar boots to boot. Grookey has been announced as the first Community Day Pokémon of the new year, while Piplup will show up during Community Day Classic. If that wasn't enough of a January preview for you, Kyurem Fusion Raid Day is also on the docket, which will will surely be a strong IRL and remote event. We wrap things up with a discussion about the state of the game, and how even with some performance issues like crashes and dropped frames, the game overall is in a really good state. Trainers have tons of options of how to spend their game time, with multiple mechanics taking Trainers down different types of experiences. One thing we have noticed, is that with increased item and Pokémon storage available, inventory maintenance has become a long and monotonous task that takes up a lot of our valuable screen time.

We take a look at the business sense behind the sensibility. Also, we make a spirited defense of IRL shopping and ask: How did Canada's economy weather a stormy 2025?
This week on Two Parents & A Podcast - Wednesday morning was… action-packed, to say the least. Long story short: do NOT recommend getting food poisoning while pregnant. (Long story long: watch the episode.) From there, we recap our Happy Everything Toy Drive from this past weekend (a huge THANK YOU to everyone who came, helped, donated, or sponsored — we're still blown away!!!). Then we spiral into a bunch of travel topics (ever notice how podcasters love to talk about planes??): balancing work travel and parenting, meeting people IRL at the airport, and a heated debate over whether you should dress up for flights (spoiler alert: NOOO). Next up: a PSA for dads — you are in charge of mom's stocking. We break down how to actually make it good (and not an afterthought!!). And we also share 5(ish) creative ideas for weaning off the pacifier. Important note: we haven't tried these yet — they're methods we've heard work and are about to start figuring out ourselves!! Finally, in Things We DMed Each Other: positive stats that helped ease working-parent guilt, plus Toyota's new self-driving pod for kids??? LOVE YOU GUYS!

When movie maestro and mixologist Paul Feig offers to teach you how to make a proper martini at 10a on a Wednesday, you say yes. It was thrilling to be tipsy before lunchtime. Almost as thrilling as it is to end 2025 with a conversation with the absolute icon that is director, producer, and comedy legend Paul Feig. Paul created the cult classic Freaks and Geeks, directed Bridesmaids, Spy, and A Simple Favor, and has helmed episodes of The Office, Parks and Recreation, 30 Rock, and Arrested Development. He's a delight and the fun you feel watching is 100% the fun we had IRL. We dig into his journey from being the comedy outcast at USC Film School to becoming one of Hollywood's most successful directors. We talk about the brutal 'in-between' years that almost bankrupted him, why comedies get overlooked at awards shows, and his latest film "The Housemaid"—a dark thriller that marks the launch of his new production company, Pretty Dangerous Pictures. I quite liked the film and hope everyone will get their tushies out into a theater to experience it in the company of loved ones, friends, and strangers! Tune is as we discuss what makes a project "undeniable", the state of comedies in 2025, and why vanity projects ruin careers. Join our Substack

In this episode, Natalie Marcotullio, Head of Growth & Operations at Navattic, looks back on a “rollercoaster” year and what it taught her about role fit, energy management, and leading through constant change. She traces the shift from growth to product marketing amid a noisy AI landscape, a new product line, and a leaner team, and how those forces sparked both imposter syndrome and new clarity about what work fuels her.Natalie opens up about the anxiety of the AI hype cycle, why chasing every new tactic eroded quality and enjoyment, and the candid conversation with her founder that helped reset expectations. She shares how she separates signal from noise, stops pegging self-worth to dashboards, and designs a job around customer proximity, evangelism, and community.Looking ahead, Natalie is doubling down on in-person energy: speaking, hosting, and building fandom around Navattic, including a new customer portal that rewards participation and connection. She offers practical advice for naming burnout early, restructuring scope without guilt, and making mid-term career bets even if you don't plan to stay in tech forever.In this conversation, you'll learn:How to tell “energizing change” from “draining change,” and reshape your role around the former without dropping the ballA simple script for the hard talk with your exec: mapping “gives energy / drains energy” into concrete scope and support changesHow to build product fandom (not just leads): customer proximity, IRL touchpoints, and a portal play that compounds communityThings to listen for:(00:00) Intro(01:37) Role shifts and team dynamics(02:17) Personal and professional challenges(03:42) Filtering AI hype after SaaStr(04:58) Launching a new product line and persona(11:45) Context switching and the 60% problem(14:03) When work bleeds into life (injury, decompression)(19:09) Q3 burnout and the hard conversation(22:00) The power of honesty in the workplace(22:40) Naming limits, resetting priorities, and role design(27:01) Dreams beyond the tech industry(36:24) Building community and looking aheadA huge thanks to this episode's sponsor:Navattic: Interactive Product Demo Software - https://navattic.com/value Check out the Behind the Scenes deep dive with the Navattic growth team:Episode 0: Introducing the miniseries featuring the Navattic growth team - https://open.spotify.com/episode/4MSAgQcR0mkUjmmLl8fXx0?si=88211b89550c4261Episode 1: The size and stage of the Navattic business - https://open.spotify.com/episode/5ArIOcGmcLPUowPXqxU6Yr?si=510ce12c47734f13Episode 2: What does growth look like at Navattic? - https://open.spotify.com/episode/4rfP8yQu9nVveOQaxqJ06s?si=24c463778d4c4214Episode 3: What goes into Navattic's growth strategy? - https://open.spotify.com/episode/3GrtQw0Kx1fntD4IBTudb7?si=2847fcce8da4496eEpisode 4: Navattic's growth operating system - https://open.spotify.com/episode/6oJRINQlBby7kLFTxcrvY6?si=eebebb0033234ff8Episode 5: The specific KPIs & dashboards that drive Navattic's success - https://open.spotify.com/episode/5wOunwgXy0AMRsODloAbD3?si=46b9f4e42f754a77Episode 6: The biggest challenges Natalie and Raman face working in growth at Navattic - https://open.spotify.com/episode/3CJmSh7XqFakyxfgotjABg?si=3284a52fc9e64acaEpisode 7: How Navattic's growth team stays aligned and manages expectations internally - https://open.spotify.com/episode/7CX7DBGR0VYpEsnXd7rYbj?si=0b1e1729a6404903Episode 8: Big beats in 2024 and series takeaways - https://open.spotify.com/episode/0cxo9wtMJEZqQxCBiSEHdf?si=f91f566ac8f24a6e Check out Natalie's previous Delivering Value episode: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6kQx1DTHdPpGUlY33fHeqK?si=6fd1de234fa84436 Website: https://deliveringvalue.co/pod/navigating-speed-bumps-and-communication-challenges-as-a-one-person-growth-team-with-natalie-marcotullio Resources:Connect with Natalie:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/natalie-marcotullio/Navattic: https://navattic.com/value Connect with Andrew:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewcapland/ Substack: https://media.deliveringvalue.coHire Andrew as your coach: https://deliveringvalue.co/coachingJoin Growth OS: https://deliveringvalue.co/growth-operating-system

In this episode of First Round's On Me, Hannah sits down with Lily Stewart — creator, style muse, “walking Pinterest board,” and one half of the internet's most wholesome roommate duo.From NYC nightlife to the Soft Girl era, performative vulnerability, modern dating dynamics, and the chaos of Gen Alpha memes, this conversation is funny, warm, and surprisingly introspective. Lily opens up about friendship loyalty (including that dartboard incident), leaving the 9–5 world, building community, chasing creative freedom, and why confidence in dating is disappearing.The episode also dives deep into the “soft era of men,” performative therapy culture, emotional intelligence, parasocial relationships, and why—despite everything—real connection still matters more than ever.

Subscribe to Hawks Insiders for the most in-depth and wide ranging Hawthorn cover there is. From exclusive interviews to analysis, match recaps to podcasts, the Insiders have you covered.What a difference a year makes. When the Hawks Insiders team last visited the Kennedy Community Centre in November 2024, there wasn't a single blade of grass on the AFLW and Community Oval.This time around — when Ash, Danny and Daz were given a grand tour by lifelong Hawks nuffies, CEO Ash Klein and COO Jacob Attwood — we couldn't quite believe our eyes. The grass was down. The ovals were defined. The buildings were a hive of activity. Players were training the house down, staff were embedded, and the Kennedy Community Centre had gone from a major construction project (and HI regular Paddy Malone's dream) to a fully functioning football home.
With AI image and video generators, it's become easier than ever to create hyper-realistic clips of almost anything. Today, we're looking at the landscape of AI influencers that depict Black people in various ways, from the mildly stereotypical to the ultra-demeaning. And we're talking to writer Zeba Blay about why she thinks these types of videos can erode the our society's ability to take the problems of IRL, human Black people seriously.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Lured Up Podcast 375 Live Streamed on - 12/9/2025 Publish Date - 12/12/2025 Temperatures are dropping for Ken and Adam in the Northeast, but that isn't stopping the game from keeping things hot! In the last week we journeyed to Paldea, recapped the year's Community Day lineup, as we continue to grind through the GO Pass and the leveling update. The announcement of Forever Friends has rekindled old friendships and has remotivated Trainers to get back on the gifting grind. This week also brings us the Well Armed event with the release of Clobbopus along with boosted Shiny rates for DMAX Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan. Well Armed's Global Challenges will be the perfect complement for GMAX Snorlax this weekend, as rewards include increased Candy XL from Max Battles. Niantic has been doing a great job with events supporting each other, and allowing for some great stacking of bonuses. Forever Friends brings Remote Trading, which is a feature that Trainers never thought they would see. With a slick interface and a fair trading process, this will keep Best Friends engaged and interacting. Having a Prestige based leveling system will make Forever Friends earn their namesake, and worth keeping on your list. The Friends List will also be increasing from 450 to 650, rolled out in waves of 50. While there hasn't been any announcement about increased gifting ability, the additional friends are still a huge win. December still has a lot of fight left in it with the Winter Holiday events and Celestial Research Day coming soon. We also can't forget about the City Safari events happening this weekend as well. It's pretty wild to think how aggressive the pacing of the game is and how it keeps packing out the calendar. We also have confirmation on GO Fest locations, with the confirmation of Chicago and the announcement of Tokyo and Copenhagen. We wrap things up with a conversation about remote play, and how Niantic has done a great job in rolling out remote features, without it having a big impact on IRL play. Smaller communities will still feel a sting if they lose 10-20% of their attendees, but the remote accessibility can at least make up for the gameplay elements, allowing the smaller groups to take down the tougher bosses. We wonder if there is anything left to add to the remote lineup, or if we have seen everything there is to be done already released!

It's time for another Mind Gap Podcast! This week, Doug and Justin share how they spent their Thanksgivings. The dorks then discuss the uncomfortable, and oftentimes unnecessary, icebreakers that precede team meetings. Doug shares a specific instance that happened recently and how he may have misread the room. The dorks then spend a bit of time just talking about mac & cheese…deal with it. Our hosts finally make their way to the main topic, fictional tools that would instantly be abused IRL. They cover things such as the time-turner and invisibility cloak from Harry Potter, replicator from Star Trek, and the Neuralyzer from Men in Black among other things. Things are wrapped up with a new game called Patch Notes: Real Life Edition, where Justin reads out patch notes for real life and Doug has to decide if they're good or if they should be scrapped as garbage. Check out our YouTube channel where we livestream our new podcast episodes every Tuesday at 8pmCT and our video game stream every Saturday at 8pmCT.

Holiday cheer (and vegan Egg Nog laced with Fireball Whisky) was in the air as Mark and Nicole welcomed Elisa Jordana and Santa Claus to a fast paced and fun holiday party from 2022 Elisa was engaging with her fans on Livestream while the show was going on and her fans were typically unpredictable. She cleared up previous claims that she was asexual and detailed how she fell for Gabe Saporta the lead singer of Cobra Starship and ended up as the keytar player so she could be in front. She met Benjy Bronk on jdate and ended up joining him on The Howard Stern Show writing staff. She then was engaged to Andy Dick despite never having slept with him and his being flamboyantly and unapologetically gay. She talks all about these relationships, her beef with Stuttering John Melendez, getting hacked by her IRL fans, making over men and how she deals with friends and lovers talking bad about her on podcasts, her own show Kermit and Friends and much more. Santa had to deal with Elisa's friends calling him a “pedo”, doubting his validity and ethnicity as well as having bible verses thrown at him. He dealt with them with his usual charm and grace, talked about his beef with the Easter Bunny, having magical “keys” to everyone's house, how creepy it is that he knows when you are sleeping and determined whether Elisa and Nicole were naughty or nice.

They also discuss Andy Dick's crash-out and 2000s celeb messes having a resurgence.Back on VPR, the dust settles following Lisa's dismissal of Marcus, and the cast clocks in for a new shift at work: Audrey's LA origin story is revealed, and Chris shows off his lack of employment history. Marcus and his hot brother meet to discuss his schism with Kim and how hard Marcus had it as a kid; Venus has Audrey over to manifest-coach her.

In this milestone episode of The Convoluted Podcast, we dive into a chaotic trio of internet meltdowns: a Reddit artist banned for saying "prints," a DoorDash driver turned viral accuser facing felony charges, and an IRL streamer who picked the wrong nail salon to monologue in. From social media power trips to the collapse of online etiquette, we're asking: when does clout chasing become criminal?

Missed Rally Live #10? No worries! In this special episode, we're bringing you the powerful Rally Live #10 keynote from Sarah Herron—reality TV alum, writer, advocate, and founder of SheLift. While many of you first met Sarah on The Bachelor, her true impact has come from the way she's chosen to tell her own infertility story: with honesty, vulnerability, humor, and a fierce commitment to helping others feel less alone. In her keynote, Sarah opens up about living with a limb difference, navigating infertility, experiencing profound pregnancy loss, and redefining resilience on her own terms. She speaks candidly about grief, identity, mental health, and the unexpected places strength can be found. Her words remind us that we can hold joy and heartbreak at the same time—and that there is power in embracing our imperfections. She also talks about being a twin mom and a "Forever mom" to her sweet son, Oliver, who she honors every day.

Christianity has taken on a totally different meaning these days.. It is in the oversized cross necklaces, the trad-wife hair, the school board fights, the subtle “illegal aliens vs immigrants” language, and the way a MAGA hat or a Pride flag can tell people your entire belief system before you say a word. In this episode, I pull together the data, the history, and my own messy spiritual story to ask whether we're slipping into a full-blown religious dystopia or just finally seeing what was there all along. We'll talk about why Christian fundamentalism feels more mainstream than ever, why so many of us are “Cafeteria Christians” or spiritual but not religious, and why Gen Z is both walking away from church and walking right back in through a different door. You will not walk away from this one neutral.In this episode, you'll hear:How Christian nationalism and partisan politics got so tangled up you can't tell where one ends and the other startsWhy Christianity has dropped to around 62% of Americans while the “nones” and spiritual-but-not-religious crowd keep risingThe two emerging “Americas”: the remixers (Cafeteria Christians, astrology, crystals, human design) and the revivalists (fundamentalism, trad-wife aesthetics, purity culture)What Gen Z is actually doing with faith, and why some young adults are returning to church for structure while others are done with institutions for goodHow thought-terminating clichés like “God works in mysterious ways” and “everything happens for a reason” shut down real emotions and critical thinkingWhy belief in Satan, demons, and “spiritual warfare” is dropping overall, even as some conservative spaces turn it into a 24/7 fear channelThe difference between inherited faith and adult reality, and how to spot when “community” is tipping into control or culty dynamicsWhat it might look like to be human first and let belief and identity come second, without abandoning the possibility of God altogetherTimestamps:00:00 Welcome to the Reinvention Room + why this one will piss people off or make you feel seen02:28 Christian fundamentalism goes mainstream and hides inside politics05:50 Growing up Protestant, “born-again” neighbors, and never feeling Christian enough16:51 Mega-churches, mentors, and trying to find a faith home that isn't culty23:51 The long hair, oversized crosses, trad-wife aesthetic, and what they're signaling30:54 Deep research: declining Christianity, rising “nones,” and spiritual-but-not-religious trends35:42 Crystals, tarot, human design and why the metaphysical often feels more helpful than church40:08 Thought-terminating clichés and how they shut down real emotion and questions51:13 Spiritual warfare, “the enemy,” and why demon talk feels like an abusive boyfriend53:18 Christian nationalism, school boards, book bans, and politics dressed up as religion58:23 Trump, media bubbles, and trying to stay human first in mixed-politics families1:09:57 Burnout, belonging, and why everyone's exhausted and spiritually unsettled1:21:10 “Why are you letting assholes get in the way of your relationship with God?”1:23:30 Are we already in a religious dystopia, and what happens next?Links & Resources Mentioned:Previous episode: Psychology of How Minds Change with David McRaney (on why people double down or actually shift)Previous episode: Dr. Jay Van Bavel on social identity and tribal brains: EP108: Social identitiesMy weekly personal email: https://allisonhare.com/emailWork with me on your podcast: https://allisonhare.com/freecallInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/allison__hareLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/allisonhare/Website: https://allisonhare.comNotable Quotables:[00:02:28] “Christian fundamentalism has gone from really kind of a fringe thing to totally mainstream. But now it's wrapped in politics.”[00:03:35] “Meanwhile, most Americans are building their own version of faith from scraps, like a cafeteria Christian.”[00:33:18] “It really made me wonder, are people ditching belief, or are they ditching institutions?”[00:40:08] “These phrases don't comfort people. They shut off critical thought and shut down your actual feelings.”[01:21:10] “Why are you letting assholes get in the way of your relationship with God?”3 Top Takeaways:Belonging often beats belief. People will choose social safety and their group over “getting the theology right,” especially when everything feels uncertain.Two spiritual Americas are forming. Remix spirituality (Cafeteria Christians, crystals, human design) is growing at the same time as Christian nationalism and fundamentalism push for legal power.

This week on Mom Group Chat, we are officially in our December era.We're recapping everything from the past couple of weeks — starting with Whitney flying down to Tampa, the two of us getting to spend time together IRL, and our surreal moment of being featured on Daytime TV (!!). Candace also shares all the details from her recent NYC trip — the cozy vibes, the food, the friends, the fall magic — and why the city always feels like a reset button.We're also talking about how the holiday chaos is starting to creep in… the schedules, the school events, the to-do lists, the mental gymnastics. And, of course, we get into the very real realization that our bodies can no longer keep up with every holiday drink, treat, and festive outing the way they used to. (One spiked hot chocolate and we're done for.)It's a catch-up episode full of stories, laughs, and that “ok good, it's not just me” energy we all need this time of year.Keep up with the Moms and join the conversation on our socials:
