Send us a textThe wonderful Chanté Joseph, writer of the viral British Vogue piece, ‘Is Having A Boyfriend Embarrassing Now?' is back for Part 2 of our conversation. If you haven't already listened to Part 1, I highly recommend you go and do that first, and you're then going to want to come back and listen to this part, too!In this second half of our conversation, Chanté talks about how she's started being totally upfront with men she's dating, rather than holding back for fear of losing someone; she talks about a book called The Tragedy of Heterosexuality by Jane Ward, which has really transformed the way that Chanté thinks about relationships and dating; we also talk about polyamory and non-monogamy, the question of whether human beings are even built for long-term relationship, as well as 'Strangers In The City', an event series that Chanté started with her best friend which brings solo people together. 02:38 The Tragedy of Heterosexuality02:58 Polyamory and Non-Monogamy06:04 Emotional Dominance in Relationships11:39 Questioning Long-Term Relationships19:05 The Fear of Being Alone21:20 Cultural Perspectives on Singledom22:59 The Irony of Singledom for Women23:56 Scott Galloway and the Masculinity Crisis24:56 Encouraging Men to Step Up27:07 The Role of Community in Relationships29:22 Reflections on Societal Pressures34:19 Chanté's Personal Journey and Career Focus36:52 Strangers in the City: Chanté's Event SeriesRead Chanté's Vogue piece: https://www.vogue.co.uk/article/is-having-a-boyfriend-embarrassing-nowFollow her on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chantayyjayy/?hl=enBook a 'Strangers In The City' event: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/o/strangers-in-the-city-81942438803Follow Strangers In The City on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/strangersinthecityevents/?hl=en Support the showBuy my book, SHINY HAPPY SINGLES (UK) / THRIVE SOLO (US & Canada) at: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/book Join my membership community for single women, Thrive Solo: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/thrivesolo Download my FREE PDF 'Top 10 Comebacks for the MostAnnoying Questions Single Women Get Asked' Go to: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/comebacks Check out my YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@thrivesolowithlucymeggeson Join my private Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1870817913309222/?ref=share Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thrivesolowithlucymeggeson/ Email me: lucy@lucymeggeson.com And thank you so much for listening!

 FROM REVOLUTION TO QUANTUM TUNNELING Colleague Professor Paul Halpern. This segment introduces the parallel early lives of physicists George Gamow and Fred Hoyle. Halpern describes Gamow's youth in revolutionary Russia, noting the irony that his father once taught Leon Trotsky. Gamow studied under Alexander Friedmann, who applied general relativity to an expanding universe model likened to a balloon. Following Friedmann'suntimely death, Gamow pivoted to quantum physics, discovering quantum tunneling—a process vital for stellar fusion. The discussion covers Gamow's motorcycle adventures at the Niels Bohr Institute and his eventual escape from the Soviet Union to avoid Marxist-Leninist political intrusion into science. NUMBER 1 1942

The guys discuss how the best way to determine a man's wealth is by the direction of his zeros, when 5 stars and a shart guarantee crispy southwest egg rolls, and why you can never pack too much animal genitalia for transcontinental flights.

Something that I have learned (the hard way!!) this year is that things always feel the hardest when you're half in. So today we are getting honest at THE KITCHEN TABLE: are you fully committed to healing your relationship with food? Pull up a chair, we have so much to unpack!!

The guys discuss why sharing a scoop of cottage cheese and half a tomato guarantees you'll be at every PTA meeting, when kicking over a stroller will save you from being scammed, and how broken buttons are the leading cause of infidelity in Texas. 

Good Sunday to you, Before we begin, let me flag this week's commentary. This a trade with a remarkably successful hit rate, a clear timescale and a relatively easy risk to manage - you know pretty quickly if it isn't working. 8 of last year's 9 ideas worked. By my reckoning you will find the biggest bargains of the year tomorrow, Monday December 22, and Tuesday December 23. So take a look: Right, so today I am marking my own homework.Every year, as old timer's will know, I like to offer some predictions for the year ahead - usually 10, but with inflation being what it is, it ends up higher. Today we look back and see how I did. The usual disclaimers apply - the more outlandish the prediction, the more entertaining - so the more likely I am to make it. But the less likely it is to actually happen. I try to strike a balance …As events change, so do opinions. Process is gradual. But when you jump a year, with no scope to revise as events turn in a different direction, quoted out of context and with the benefit of hindsight, predictions can look really, really stupid. Don't judge me, bro.I often find that the worse my predictions, the better my portfolio performs, which is odd, but there you go.If you want to read last year's piece in full, it's here. But I'll quote quite copiously below.A reminder of the scoring system: 2 points for a direct hit, 1 for a quite good, 0 for a miss, and -1 for an epic fail, giving me a maximum of 30 and a minimum of -10. How did I do? Let's find out. 1. The long overdue correction in the UK housing market finally begins.You can read my reasoning here, but it boiled down to: richer people being net sellers as they leave the UK, few foreign buyers, fewer buyers more generally because of high moving costs (Stamp Duty etc), little bullish sentiment in the economy meaning a reluctance to borrow and invest and the 18-year-property cycle turning down.What actually happened is by no means clearcut, but I'll try and summarise.Price growth and transaction volume were relatively high in the first 3 months, until Stamp Duty changes came into effect in April, after which the market became “subdued”. Overall, the north saw some increase, while London fell 2.4% in the year to October. Average growth was 1.7%, which is some 2% below official inflation rates - real inflation is of course much higher - meaning there have been price falls in real terms. This is even with the Bank of England bringing rates down, thereby enabling more money to enter the market via increased borrowing.Overall, transactions volumes increased by 9% on 2024, to get back in line with the 10-year average, though there is a very different story at the upper end of the market.The housing market has big problems, especially in the south, but it hasn't cratered - though nor has it soared. I'm giving myself 1 point. 2. Keir Starmer survivesEveryone thought he was toast this time last year - and he is - but my argument that “it's too early for Labour MPs, worrying about their seats, to give him the shove” prevailed. 2 points. 3. Gold hits $3,000.And the rest. It's $4,300 as I write and going higher. I was too conservative. 1 point. BTW. If you live in a Third World Country such as the UK, I urge you to own gold or silver. The pound is going to be further devalued. The bullion dealer I recommend is The Pure Gold Company. Pricing is competitive, quality of service is high. They deliver to the UK, the US, Canada and Europe or you can store your gold with them. More here.4. Microstrategy (NASDAQ:MSTR) becomes a top 100 company by market cap.Oops. When Strategy hit $450 in July, its market cap would have been around $130 billion, making it perhaps a top 300 company but not a top 100. It would have needed to get above about $250 billion to make the cut. And since then it has the skids so badly it's now a tax loss opportunity.-1.5. Bitcoin goes to $200,000 then crashesI got the crash bit right. Sort of. $126k was the high, having begun the year at $91k. Today it's $88k. 0 points.6. Sterling has big problemsNope. It's had a good year. -1.7. X thrives, Blue Sky dies, Blogging Blue SkiesWell sort of. X saw strong numbers growth in the first part of the year, but these have tailed off. It is now a key place to go for breaking news and a leading news app, but by no means the Governor. The exodus to Blue Sky has slowed, but BS (LOL) is still growing albeit at a much slower rate. Blogging, as evidenced by Substack, is thriving. I'll give myself 1 point.8. The S&P500 Rises 10%15% actually. We predicted a decent year, despite year 1 of the electoral cycle tending to be the weakest. 1 point. Do I get 2? Nah.9. Oil ranges.Oil would neither crater nor moonshot, we argued. We saw a range of $60-90. Its actually been $55-80. 1 point.10. Small Caps ThriveThe Russell 2000 has had a good year - rising 12% - but the large caps are still winning. 1 point.11. The US Dollar Index breaks out to 20-year highs. Oops. I was looking for a high around 117 in the US$ index. It didn't get above 110. It fell! -112. The BRICS don't come out with a proper US dollar alternative … yetEveryone says it's coming, but it never actually does. 2 points.13. Silver disappoints … as always$33 is the high, $22 the low, I said. Ha! $28 was the low, and the high - $68. To be fair to myself, I said multiple times it was going to $50 and if it gets above there it goes to $90+, but the call was still an epic fail. Irony: silver has been a huge winner for readers this year and our pick, Sierra Madre Gold and Silver (SM.V), has been a joy to own. From 45c north of $1.50 :(I still get -1 though.14. Despite all the crap, the world becomes a better place to live.We live longer, we eat better, tech keeps improving things. We advance. AI makes us more productive and betters living standards.It's so obvious I can't believe I even said it. I'll give myself a point, but not 2.15. Your Bruce-y bonus sports prediction.Liverpool win the league. Ipswich, Southampton, and Leicester all go down.Bullseye. I should take up sports betting. 2 points.I don't actually follow football any more, but one of my son's told me that's what would happen.So, overall, a very poor showing for the DF Predictions, possibly my poorest year ever: totalling a measly 7 points.And, as always seems to be case, a much better year for my portfolio of companies. Here's hoping I get all next year's predictions similarly wrong.I'll be making those early next year - so look out for that.Thank you so much for being a subscriber to the Flying Frisby. I wish you and your family a very happy Christmas. Don't eat too much, go easy on the booze, pray, sing, get plenty of exercise, avoid toxic people and the lurgy, and be thankful for the many good things there are in your life.Once again - I urge you to take a look at the tax loss opportunities. Tomorrow and Tuesday are the buy days.Here's to a healthy, wealthy 2025. Until next time,DominicPS This Wednesday being Christmas Eve I almost certainly won't be putting out any commentary.

Ironie ist ein wichtiger Bestandteil der Alltagskommunikation: Wir gebrauchen Ironie unter Freunden, schreiben ironisch im Chat oder schauen Filme und Serien, in denen Ironie ein wichtiges Ausducksmittel ist. Doch was ist Ironie überhaupt? In dieser Folge Sprachpfade schauen wir uns an, was sich hinter der sogenannten verbalen Ironie verbirgt - mithilfe von drei klassischen pragmatischen Ironie-Theorien: Opposition, Echo und Vortäuschung. Alle drei Theorien versuchen zu erklären, wie bei der Ironie der Unterschied zwischen dem Gesagten und dem Gemeinten entsteht. Warum sich die Forschung in Sachen Ironie trotzdem nicht einig ist, diskutieren wir in dieser Folge. Hört gerne rein!Ein Podcast von Anton und Jakob.

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin did it again! For a couple of hours today. The U.S. Institute of Peace has been renamed as the U.S. Institute of Irony. The Department of Defense is now Pete Hic! Hegseth's House of Murders.  Hungover from the fog of war, Hegseth immediately initiated a strategic inverted retrograde disengagement maneuver, tossing Admiral Alvin Holsey overboard. Admiral Frank "Mitch" Bradley is next in line and is scheduled to fall on his sword at approximately 14:00 today. Palantir is scheduled to make more money at that time. Republicans in Revolt! Gops brandishing torches, pitchforks and discharge petitions seek to topple Mike Johnson. Well, they really want Trump, but he scares them and no one is scared of Mike. Gop women feel the most rage, but don't want to come off sounding woke, or... feminist. No, Elise Stefanik will NOT lower her voice. Henry Cuellar shows that it's so easy to play Trump into a pardon, even a Democrat can do it. In the ACA debate, Gops propose Obamacare, but bad. Dems counterproposal is Obamacare, but longer. The pendulum is swinging back, right on time for the midterms. Except that no other president has been this disliked. The economy has rarely hit this many, especially against those constituents of the party in power. And that party in power has probably has never sucked this hard, nor have they promised to learn so little from their mistakes. Vladimir Putin continues to humiliate Donald K. Trump, but that's only because Trump demands to be humiliated. They finally arrested some guy for placing pipe bombs ahead of January 6, and the guy that they arrested is not Marge, sadly lowering the chance that she might go to prison, on that charge.

"I don't take the usual dystopian view of the Internet. I see it as a unit of society and use it to understand the self, the nation and politics. So, I didn't want to look at caste from the usual Dalit-Savarna perspective - a different kind of system is playing out on the Internet. Many middle castes are anxious to move up the ladder. No one can become a Brahmin but the Kshatriya space is open so many communities can claim they are Kshatriyas -- that is happening all over north India. And it's amazing how they are doing it by creating their own digital mythologies through songs and reels."- Anurag Minus Verma, author, The Great Indian Brain Rot, talks to Manjula Narayan about everything from the profitable conspiracy theory industry that grew around the Sushant Singh Rathod episode, the weird seduction of cringe content and Puneet Superstar to Emraanism, the ineffable charm of Rakhi Sawant, influencers and mental health, and his own enduring interest in "misfits, lovers and losers".  Learn more about your ad choices.

7/8. The Western Safari, Sheridan's Irony, and the Scientific Ignorance Driving the Wolf Slaughter — Dan Flores— The mid-nineteenth-century American West became a safari destination for wealthy European nobility who engaged in serial, unjustified massacres of wildlife, meticulously recording kill counts as trophy tallies. Flores documents a historical irony: General Philip Sheridan, traditionally maligned as a villain, actually protested the systematic buffaloslaughter and subsequently protected Yellowstone fauna. Flores emphasizes that wolves were poisoned ubiquitously throughout this period due to unscientific Old World superstitions and profound ecological ignorance, reflecting medieval prejudices rather than empirical understanding of predator-prey dynamics and ecosystem function.

The guys discuss why it is so crucial to clock out prior to any workplace scuffle, when a chance meeting in Costa Rica instantly becomes deadly, and how Damon's probably not a whale but definitely a mutant. 

Who doesn't love a Halloween pot-mortem on the week of Thanksgiving? Aly is back, and we dig into the rise of trunk-or-treat events, what gets lost when Halloween moves from sidewalks to parking lots, and how this one holiday reveals so much about walkability, safety, protectionism, and kids' independence in American car-dependent neighborhoods.Timeline:00:00 Aly's back.00:56 What trunk-or-treat is replacing.03:32 Kids losing low-stakes social interaction.04:33 Gamifying community interaction with candy.05:58 Cars as “safety crutches” in American life.08:42 Halloween vs. the parking lot version.10:12 Navigation and independence for kids.12:01 Why Halloween should be the safest night to walk.14:47 Holidays as community infrastructure.16:02 The middle zone of connection.17:03 Wrapping up and heading into the holidays.

The guys discuss how a very lucrative Ponzi scheme can easily be formed by just clearing out your unwanted organs, when homemade currency and/or ID card should immediately raise suspicion, and why you should never buy your weed from Tyler.

Left with the responsibility of taking care of her as her dementia set in, he shares his personal insights and struggles learning how to navigate through the process. This book is a highly relevant, timely and valuable resource for young people currently dealing with this evolving dilemma, who might have lived through it or who might be experiencing it in the near future.

Thieves have a new shocking hack to steal your vehicle—and it’s so bizarre you won’t believe what they’re doing. The Francis Scott Key Bridge repair is now expected to cost $5 billion, all traced back to one tiny loose wire that triggered the catastrophic collapse. Mark Asher joins the show to talk about his new trivia-packed book, “Gorillas Have Tiny Penises: A Book of Ironies,” featuring odd facts like Pizza Hut once being the biggest buyer of kale and penicillin being discovered completely by accident. The crew also dives into The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, looking at how many actors have portrayed the Grinch and how Jim Carrey and Dennis Miller were influenced by comedy legend Tim Conway. Plus, OC streetcars are officially making a comeback.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The guys discuss why an overly generous employer makes going home nearly impossible, when hearing "just don't get it in his eyes" initiates a prayer for pepper spray, and how pork-filled sky scrapers will inadvertently regulate the price of a cup of coffee.

Percival Everett has made a career out of exploring the nature of absurdity. You may have become aware of Everett in the last few years when his novel “Erasure” was adapted into the movie “American Fiction” in 2023, or when his book “James” won the Pulitzer prize last year. But Everett has written 24 novels since 1983 along with several books of poetry and short story collections, each of them tackling a different genre of writing and a different angle on nonsense, absurdity or irony. As he says, “to accept the absurdity of a situation is to accept the humanness of it.” We talk to Percival Everett in front of an audience of students at McDaniel High School in Portland.

The guys discuss how being inquisitive about the location of a butthole can coax any teenager out of their room, when LOCATION is the single most important factor for proper interpretation of a cleverly titled 50K race, and why teaching a beaver to pull a rip cord is imperative when re-wilding Idaho's wilderness.

I discuss the work of Dr. Watson and past research on race, IQ geography and genetics, and its undeniable correlation to intelligence.  I also discuss more K12 sexual degeneracy, California state policy, the PRISM curriculum and the need for a mass exodus; and the irony of the shot rollout and it's continuing public effect.    Book Websites: https://www.moneytreepublishing.com/shop PROMO CODE: “AEFM” for 10% OFF, or https://armreg.co.uk PROMO CODE: "americaneducationfm" for 15% off all books and products.

The Irony of Paid Transparency I saw a post the other day that made me stop mid-scroll. An actor—let's call him Workshop Guy—was going viral for saying he was "tired of gatekeeping in the industry." He wanted to break down the walls, create transparency, build community… all that good stuff. And then, at the end of his video, came the link. A $200 workshop. I laughed out loud. Because, honestly, that's not transparency. That's marketing. Let's talk about why. The Anti-Gatekeeping Paywall Here's the thing: if your solution to exclusivity is to sell tickets to your version of inclusion, you've missed the point. This particular actor is an NYU grad—one of the most expensive, most exclusive programs in the country. That's not shade, it's context. The gate was already built long before graduation. So now, instead of widening that gate, he's charging admission. That's not transparency. That's a rebrand. And look, I have zero issue with people charging for their time. I do it too. I teach workshops, classes, coaching. That's education. But when you say you're ending gatekeeping while collecting checkout links? That's manipulation dressed as empowerment. Boundaries Aren't Barriers Here's where people get confused. When working actors say no to a "pick your brain" chat, that's not gatekeeping. That's energy management. You don't owe unlimited access to your time or experience. Protecting your energy isn't selfish—it's smart. Gatekeeping is exclusion for control. Boundaries are protection for sustainability. If someone says, "Hey, I can't jump on a call right now, but I teach a class next month," that's not blocking the door. That's structure. And if you've done any of Peter's Core Work, you already know—energy management is everything. What Real Transparency Looks Like Transparency isn't a sales tactic. It's a culture choice. It looks like: Sharing what you've learned, within reason. Answering a quick question in a Facebook group. Being open about your rates and usage terms. Talking honestly about rejection, burnout, or bad contracts. Transparency says, Here's what I know, take what helps. It's generosity, not a business model. Why We Still Need Some Gatekeeping Okay, this might sound controversial—but I think some gatekeeping is good. Without it, anyone can say they're an "agent" or "coach" and start charging people money. Gates aren't the problem. **Who holds the keys—and why—**is. If you're protecting integrity, professionalism, and ethics, that's structure. If you're protecting ego or profit, that's manipulation. The goal isn't to eliminate the gates. It's to make sure they're in the right hands. The Real Takeaway If you're frustrated by gatekeeping, start with generosity. If you're burnt out from giving too much, start with boundaries. And if you're tempted to monetize "transparency," ask what you're really selling. Because $200 to "end gatekeeping"? That's not transparency. That's just good marketing. Take Your Core Work Deeper If this conversation hits close to home, it might be time to focus on your energy management.

What if the future of money isn't about creating new currencies, but redefining what money really is?In this episode, Arjun sits down with Tony McLaughlin, CEO and Founder of Ubyx Inc, to talk about why he believes the bank account is dead and how the next version of money could live on public blockchains.They break down what stablecoins, tokenized deposits, and CBDCs really mean, and how they could quietly replace the systems we've used for decades.

The guys discuss how one man's hatred of chivalry led to a revolving entrance, when it is no longer necessary to return a borrowed snorkel, and why the time of day should absolutely dictate the value of material items. 

Joe highlights a few ironic things that some Protestants do when they celebrate Reformation Day. Transcript: Joe: What’s actually happening in the Reformation is no less dark. It’s still celebrating sin only. Now it’s the sin of schism. It’s less spooky maybe, but it’s not less sinful. Thesis number 25 says that the power which the Pope has in general over purgatory corresponds to the power which any bishop or curate has in a particular way in his own diocese. And per, I don’t know of a lot of Protestants who would agree with that. If you’re imagining ...

Europe's Energy Liberation: US Shale Ending Russian Gas Leverage Michael Bernstam with John BatchelorBatchelor highlights the irony that Russia's perceived energy leverage over Europe is dissolving, a dependence once so great that Europeans were said not to be able to turn the lights on without Russian energy. Bernstam declares that natural gas will now be in abundance, ensuring that Russia "never again will there be leverage over Europe." This shift signifies "Liberation Day for natural gas in Europe." The European Union's 19th package of sanctions is scheduled to phase out Russian pipeline gas and Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG) completely by the end of 2027, with the majority phased out by the middle of 2026. The United States shale revolution is crucial, producing approximately 270 billion cubic meters of natural gas for export to Europe via established terminals, freeing Europe from Russian energy dependence.

Are you a driven mom who wants to be present—but you're drowning in overwhelm and “control mode”?This conversation shows you how to get crystal-clear on your family vision, build secure attachment/connection, and set firm, kind boundaries so kids become self-directed—without you turning into the “mean, controlling parent.”In this candid episode, Greg and Rachel break down the yin–yang of parenting—high standards + healthy surrender—so you can lead your family without micromanaging. You'll learn time-chunking, strategic disengagement, and simple charts & systems (starting with the morning routine) that create calm, predictable days. We also unpack why quality and quantity time (especially in key developmental years) is the foundation of trust, attachment, and influence.If you've ever thought, “I've tried everything,” this is your roadmap to clarity, consistency, and connection—without burnout.Key Takeaways✅ Vision first: You can't hit a target you don't have—define your family vision and align daily “micro-visions.”✅ Attachment over control: Connection creates cooperation; control breeds rebellion or resentment.✅ Quality and quantity time: Presence (especially ages 0–6, and up to 25) builds trust and influence.✅ Boundaries you honor: Time-chunking + strategic disengagement protect work and family time.✅ Systems over stress: Start with a morning routine chart; train, then let kids choose how within clear boundaries.✅ Lead without micromanaging: Be playful + firm on non-negotiables; give freedom on details.✅ The obstacle is the way: Overwhelm signals where to build skills and systems next.Memorable Quotes

Leila Rahimi, Marshall Harris and Mark Grote opened their show by examining the irony of the Bears' dominating defense. After that, they discussed how quarterback Caleb Williams plans to address his accuracy issues with a sense of urgency. Later, they compared the Bears' 4-2 start this season to their 4-2 start in 2024, a season that was derailed by a 10-game losing streak for Chicago.

Report Podcast, Professor Nicholas Giordano takes aim at the absurdity of the so-called “No Kings” protest, where activists chant about tyranny while embracing a government that controls nearly every aspect of life. Professor Giordano then breaks down the government shutdown and exposes how Democrats' refusal to support a clean funding resolution is driven by their obsession with power and the big government apparatus. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and the far left are holding the country hostage to protect the failed Obamacare system and keep COVID-era subsidies that have fueled premium spikes, eliminated competition, and increased dependency. He explains how Obamacare is one of the most costly policy failures in American history, and how big government continues to punish working Americans while rewarding bureaucrats and special interests. Episode Highlights: The hypocrisy of the No Kings protests as activists rail against tyranny while demanding more government control over every part of American life. Democrats are blocking a clean funding resolution to protect Obamacare subsidies and weaponize the shutdown for political leverage as the Schumer Shutdown continues. The Obamacare Collapse, premiums are skyrocketing, illegal immigrants exploit loopholes, and the only thing keeping the system alive is endless taxpayer money.
