Tread Perilously's TV Movie month continues with Michael J. Fox, Nancy McKeon, and Robert Klein in Poison Ivy. When Dennis Baxter takes a job at Camp Pinewood in Maine, he expects his summer will be filled by taking care of his charges and maybe romancing some of the counselors at the girls' camp across the lake. This changes when assistant nurse Rhonda Malone arrives on the scene. Will he find true love while the kids in his cabin learn the true meaning of friendship? Or will everything fall apart when the camp director declares a color war and splits the camp in two? Paul Pakler joins Erik and Justin in another gab session focused on Fox and McKeon. They also try to figure out if Klein is actually funny. Jason Bateman, despite not appearing in the film, haunts the proceedings. Director Larry Elikan's ABC AfterSchool Specials connection leads to a very particular aside. Paul coins "lead poisoning movies" to explain Poison Ivy and second-screen viewing. With a copy sourced from Chicago's NBC station, the trio also enjoy the 1985 commercials. A certain person's case of cancer, meanwhile, dominates the newsbreaks. Paul has a hard time holding onto the plot while Erik finds it difficult to recall the character names. The group can't help but rewrite aspects of the plot and #campgate is revealed.

Andrew Humberman BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Andrew Huberman, the Stanford neuroscientist and Huberman Lab podcast host, made waves this week with a high-profile guest spot on the SiriusXM podcast SmartLess, dropping February 9 where he dished on gila monsters, flabby brains, and the art of winking alongside hosts Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett, according to Apple Podcasts listings. Just a day prior on February 8, he popped up in FIS Snowboarding's YouTube live show I Love Snow Real Talk, fueling buzz among fans blending his neuroscience tips with winter sports chatter, per the video description.Rewinding to February 6, Huberman joined behavioral scientist Maya Shankar for a keynote at the Eudemonia Summit 2025 titled The Neuroscience of Peak Performance, diving deep into neuroplasticity, fear-driven change, and rewiring the brain through sleep and deliberate practice, as detailed on Eudemonias site. This convo could cement his role as a go-to voice on lifelong optimization.On February 3, he delivered a compelling presentation The Risk of Doing Nothing at the University of Californias Office of the President in Oakland, urging action on health basics, while Mens Journal spotlighted his five pillars of wellness sleep, sunlight, movement, nutrition, and relationships in a guide pulling from his recent talks, emphasizing no-fuss foundations over trendy biohacks.Earlier that day, Willamette Week reported a tangential link as Portland psychiatrist Paul Conti, Hubermans 2023 podcast collaborator, surfaced in Jeffrey Epstein emails, though Huberman himself stays clear of that shadow. Katie Courics site revisited CBS News January 28 addition of Huberman as an expert contributor alongside Peter Attia and Mark Hyman, critiquing their promo of pricey gadgets like cold plunges amid commercial ties, but no fresh backlash emerged.No major business moves or social media flares popped in the last few days, though his site hypes the upcoming Protocols book preorder. Hubermans star keeps rising, platforming science with that insider edge, but watchdogs whisper about the influencer-expert blur.

Fuck Thatcher.This week's episode covers arguably the weakest song from Queen's 70s output, "Mad the Swine". A song that 100%, definitely, categorically, absolutely DOES NOT belong between Ogre Battle and My Fairy King, no matter what Roger or Bri say about it!If Kev were to title this podcast, he'd probably call it “Mad the Swine”, or possibly, “This little piggy should have gone wee wee wee, straight down the shitter!”NOTE: Skip forward to 13:02 if wanna get straight into the manifestations and wheel spin.The music at the end of the episode is the very excellent "Darling of the CBC" from Absofunkinlutely's black album, Residential Gas Leak. When checking for residential gas leaks, it's best to call out a qualified plumber. When checking for groove-laden jams about the state of the music industry, it's best to call out a qualified Cardinal!

For this final episode of the year, Dennis flips the script and appears as a guest on the Behind the Book Cover podcast hosted by his friend and past Dennis Anyone guest Anna David. He also weighs in on the miracle that is Heated Rivalry during the So This Happened segment at the end of the episode. Here are the official show notes Anna wrote about the episode: Dennis Hensley was the very first real writer I ever knew—back when getting a book published felt like spotting a unicorn in 1990s LA.His debut novel Misadventures in the (213) came out in 1998, and I thought it was the coolest thing imaginable. Years later, we'd find ourselves sweating through Ben Allen's dance classes together, proving that creative people really do wear all the hats. Dennis has written for everyone from Joan Rivers to Wondery podcasts, created party games and somehow made more money dancing in commercials than writing this year. Our conversation (recorded the day before his 61st birthday) goes deep on resilience, disappointment and figuring out how to keep creating when the scoreboard stops making sense. Topics Discussed: The 1990s writing gold rush: When Gen X believed you could actually make a living as a writer, gift bags overflowed at parties. and magazines paid $1 per word Breaking in: How an audition rejection for Madonna's Blonde Ambition tour became Dennis's first published article, leading to gigs at Movieline, Detour and beyond Writing for free (for three years): The unglamorous hustle behind Misadventures in the (213), including interviewing Carrie Fisher in her bed and scoring a gym membership through barter The 2013 Fashion Police strike: How standing up for freelance writers' pay during the Writers Guild organizing effort traumatized Dennis, cost him his best friend/roommate and triggered a health crisis that changed everything Rehab for disappointment: Dennis's raw account of hospitalization, thinking he'd "die of disappointment" and the long road through somatic therapy, meditation and redefining success Changing how you keep score: Why tracking wins vs. losses will destroy you, and how Dennis learned to measure creative life by "who I'm being" rather than what he's getting The game that almost was: Pitching "You Don't Know My Life!" to Jason Bateman's production company, feeling good about the pitches, getting rejected—and being sad for only five seconds "Everything is impossible, so anything is possible": Life lessons from artist Stephanie Elizondo Griest and why trying matters more than outcomes Dancing pays better than writing: How Dennis made more money this year from Vegas commercials than his writing career, and why he's okay with that Mentioned: Misadventures in the (213) and Screening Party books Rob Weisbach, Detour, Movieline, Fashion Police "You Don't Know My Life!" party game Podcasts: Dennis, Anyone? and Dennis Hensley's Happy and Gay Ben Allen's Group Three dance class (RIP the Thriller flash mob)

MUSICApple Music released its year-end data, and 2025 was good to Kendrick Lamar. He and SZA had the top song of the year in the U.S., with "Luther". Morgan Wallen had a good year, too. We discuss the the Top 10:On the Global chart, the #1 song was "APT." by ROSE and Bruno Mars. "Luther" came in second. Even though Kendrick had a great year, he did NOT accomplish his main goal, which was to END DRAKE. He was Apple's most-streamed artist GLOBALLY in 2025. Willie Nelson is tired of the internet trying to kill him off . . . and he finally said so in the most Willie way possible. https://www.whiskeyriff.com/2025/12/01/willie-nelson-sounds-off-on-the-endless-amount-of-ai-slop-about-him-if-you-believe-those-death-stories-one-more-time/ Think you can dodge Wham! this holiday season? Think again. Whamageddon is the ultimate holiday survival game. The challenge? Make it till Christmas Eve without hearing Wham!'s “Last Christmas.” Sounds easy, right? Nope. This song is everywhere, from here on the radio to shops to the dentist's office. The rules are simple: if you hear the original 1984 version of the song, you're out and have to post your fail to #Whamageddon. But covers and remixes? Totally safe. The song is hard to escape … So, be careful out there. And good luck! https://www.aol.com/articles/think-beat-whamageddon-dodge-one-205519330.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly9zdGF0aWNzLnRlYW1zLmNkbi5vZmZpY2UubmV0Lw&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAE4LKFNU0obfYftLM3HS0I3IXT_4AMPdBHCN-dMHo1M-dws6Qq0VHTcF4fc2qyJdxXb02DCE_XrcWpU8FOGBgHrgBwDq-gfmY3loC0GtJOf9JCAIbMJrXuLpwLMz2lUYMDjtFC5REf3ACTxe5qsAYFGl2jfiv__btgFG-1mFXoNi TVThe Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting: The famous tree will be lit tonight during Christmas in Rockefeller Center, a two-hour special airing live from New York City on NBC and simulcast on Peacock.

He beat Stage 3 Non-Hodgkin lymphoma seven months ago, and in October, doctors found TONGUE cancer during a routine scan. Dave shared the news on "Today" yesterday. Quote, "It turned out that I have P16 squamous carcinoma at the base of my tongue. I said to the doctors, 'Well, did this happen because of the lymphoma?' And they said, 'Totally unrelated.'" https://www.today.com/health/news/dave-coulier-tongue-cancer-rcna245598 "Stranger Things 5" had the second-biggest premiere of any Netflix original series. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/stranger-things-5-premiere-week-ratings-netflix-1236438569/ David Letterman will interview Michael B.
