“Is the Dark Triad a real disorder—or just a dangerous type?”This week's Fan Mail question comes from a listener in Germany who writes after a recent video:“You called ‘dark triad' a personality disorder, but it isn't in the DSM-5.

My Music with Graham Coath — Featuring Mary McAvoyIn this soulful and wide-ranging episode of My Music, host Graham Coath heads across the Atlantic to chat with Mary McAvoy, a singer-songwriter from Providence, Rhode Island, whose voice blends classic soul, blues, and pop into something timelessly human.Together they explore how community, creativity, and the sea itself inspire her work — from her early love of Whitney Houston and Celine Dion to her blues-infused originals that channel both comfort and catharsis. Mary talks openly about growing up in a musical household, the reality of life after appearing on The Voice USA, and what success really means when fame isn't the goal.There's humour, heart, and even a guest appearance from Mary's dachshund-beagle mix (who clearly approves of good music). The conversation dives into everything from Ella Fitzgerald to quantum physics, from the soul of live performance to why women in music are rewriting the rules of age and success.

In this episode, Jaffe & Razor discuss the B's 3-2 OT win over Ottawa. They break down how the defensive depth is making an impact, Zadorov playing steady with McAvoy, Aspirot's solid play, Minten's continued improvement, & as always, plenty more!

Summary of "Fork in Your Ear" Podcast Episode (Tim & Nate) This casual, banter-heavy episode kicks off with the hosts (Tim and Nate) fumbling through a sound check amid slurping coffee, barking dogs, and tech glitches—classic podcaster chaos. They joke about cluttered lives, puppy invasions, and Nate's XLR setup before rolling into the main show with self-deprecating humor about aging, coffee mishaps, and existential dread ("Why are we alive?"). Life Updates Tim's Whirlwind: Tim's dealing with home repairs (new dishwasher installed by a former Michelin-star chef from NYC who's now a handyman post-COVID; garage door fixed with smart integrations but noisy app beeps; doorknob drama leading to wild life stories). His leg's seizing from scar tissue (PT starts soon), mom's estate sale cleared out the house but didn't cover septic costs—still a win for decluttering. Financially, things improved: instant check processing, Apple Card approval (finally, after years of denials), and a surprise Xbox delivery after billing nightmares. He rants about Microsoft's chatbot hell for support. Nate's Rollercoaster: Work's feast-or-famine; a past-due job means Sunday overtime (paid double for minimal hours—great for him, bad for the business). Employee health crises abound: a coworker out post-heart attack/stroke, another starting chemo for throat cancer, and a recent funeral. Family hits hard too—stepmom's husband passed, niece prepping for birth amid her first wave of funerals ("Buckle up, buttercup"). Positives: Inheritance windfall pays off a car (no more payments, despite tire-popping wife jokes), and splurging on a kid-proof PC setup (i5, RTX 3050, durable mechanical keyboard/mouse) to spare their main rigs. Shared Vibes: Aging woes (Nate's "pentagenarian" shoulder pain; Tim's body betrayals), random revelations (Tim's massage therapist's quick divorce), and bio breaks mid-episode. Video Games Tim's Light Play: Minimal gaming due to life chaos—snippets of Helltank 2 on new Xbox Series X Galaxy Edition (smoother than Series S; no cross-play griefing despite PS fears; chat lags initially). Excited for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond (Dec. 4 release; open-world vibes with space motorbike teased in janky trailer—fans divided). Rants: Nintendo's absurd NPC-summoning patent (pre-dates Pokémon); Acclaim's surprise revival with indies like Dead Space Cells knockoff; UE5 scalability for Switch 2 (Star Wars Outlaws shines despite hardware hate); Xbox price hikes ($799 for Galaxy—Tim snagged pre-raise); No Man's Sky Switch 2 Corvette update (multiplayer still OG Switch-less); all RE games native on Switch 2; Perfect Dark cancellation drama (near Take-Two publishing deal fell through). Nate's Dives: Hollow Knight: Silksong (beautiful Metroidvania, but zero onboarding—jumped in blind); Sword of the Sea (watery sandy area progression); Destiny 2 (season-behind fixes make it smooth; hyped for Renegades). Correction: His GameSir controller model's a lighter version (no hall-effect triggers/rumble). Nintendo Direct Highlights: Super Mario Galaxy 1&2 combo (up-res'd for Switch 2; $45 Amiibos rage); Super Mario Bros. Movie sequel subtitled Galaxy (Rosalina focus? Scarlett Johansson headcanon); FF7 Remake & Sonic Trilogy ports; Fire Emblem tease. Sony drama: Ghost of Yōtei designer fired over Charlie Kirk comments (lame PR response). Tech Headsets & Peripherals: Tim's new HyperX Cloud Alpha (fixed PS echo issues; spatial audio blew friend's mind—stereo 101 roast). Nate's Arctis Nova (won in raffle; mix amp for chat/game). Apple Event Rundown: iPhone lineup confirmed (Air: ultra-thin titanium, single cam, cut-down Pro chip; 17 Pros: aluminum return, "Plateau" camera bar for antennas, vapor chamber cooling, 30% sustained perf boost). Modems: C1/C1X in-house (Air/SE); Wi-Fi/Bluetooth N1 chip (efficiency gains). Watches: Hypertension detection, sat-phone Ultra, better battery. OS unifications: Watch/iPad meh (laggy fonts); Apple TV smooth but tiny text; iOS front cam upgrade (square sensor for tracking/selfies). Meta Fail: Ray-Ban Meta AI demo glitches mid-cooking demo ("Meta, what do I do?" meme gold). PC Woes: Tim's shipped rig (Descent setup) dead on arrival—video ports fried; Nate suspects reseat. Entertainment RIP Robert Redford (87; natural causes at home—bummer for Endgame fans). Books/Media: Tim binged Red Rising trilogy (piercing sci-fi; full-cast audiobook for book 4); fan-made Tron: Ares supercut trailer slaps. NIN's Tron: Ares score: Atmospheric/Fragile-era vibes (repetitive riffs, subdued electronics; Infiltrator as core theme; Building Better Worlds evokes Wendy Carlos). Harry Potter full-cast audiobooks incoming (star-studded: McAvoy, Pegg, etc.—overdue money grab?). TV Gripes: Mr. & Mrs. Smith S2 delayed indefinitely (cliffhanger rage); Nate finished Strange New Worlds (Tim slacking on Trek). Episode wraps on unifications' mixed bag, with laughs over beeps, updates, and "pentagenarian" jabs. Runtime ~2.5 hours of raw, unfiltered bro-chat—perfect for fans of tech rants and life entropy.

In this Summer Coolers edition of NHL Wraparound, hosts Neil Smith and Vic Morren take a hard look at the Boston Bruins, a team that has fallen dramatically from its historic high just two seasons ago.After missing the playoffs for the first time since 2016, the Bruins are in unfamiliar territory. With major roster departures and minimal offseason improvements, David Pastrnak may find himself carrying more than just the offensive load—he may be carrying the entire franchise.Neil and Vic analyze GM Don Sweeney's offseason acquisitions, including Victor Arvidsson, Tanner Jeannot, Jordan Harris, Mikey Eyssimont, and the return of Sean Kuraly, as well as re-signings like Morgan Geekie and Charlie McAvoy's hopeful bounce back. The consensus? Grit and toughness are there—but goal-scoring depth is not.The episode also examines the transition to new head coach Marco Sturm, the impact of last year's decision to fire Jim Montgomery, and the enormous pressure on Jeremy Swayman to carry this team in low-scoring, defense-heavy games.IN THIS EPISODE:[00:00] Boston Bruins: What happened and where are they now?[00:38] From historic highs to missing the playoffs[01:00] Offseason acquisitions: Soderstrom, Arvidsson, Jeannot, Eyssimont, Harris[02:00] The fallout of the Patrick Laine trade[02:48] Reviewing re-signings: Geekie, Zacha, McAvoy, Lohrei[03:43] Can James Hagens crack the lineup?[04:00] Marco Sturm takes over as head coach[04:32] Jeremy Swayman must shine in net[05:00] Jim Montgomery's bounce back with the Blues[05:32] The Bruins' identity: Tough, but can they score?[06:00] Charlie McAvoy, Hampus Lindholm & Nikita Zadorov must lead the blue lineKEY TAKEAWAYS:David Pastrnak is the lone offensive constant, and without stronger support, the Bruins may struggle to generate goals.Jeremy Swayman must deliver a breakout season, as Boston will rely on tight, low-scoring games to stay competitive.Don Sweeney's offseason moves focus more on toughness than skill—Jeannot, Eyssimont, and others bring grit, but little proven offense.With Marco Sturm in his first NHL head coaching role, leadership and locker room chemistry will be tested early.Defensemen like McAvoy, Zadorov, and Lindholm must step up for Boston to have any hope of a playoff rebound.RESOURCE LINKS:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgBj1LV0-DMfBhcRPSJZLjAX: https://twitter.com/NHLWraparoundNeil Smith: https://twitter.com/NYCNeilVic Morren: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vic-morren-7038737/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nhlwraparound/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nhlwraparoundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61555451139787#NHL #Hockey #Podcast #DavidPastrnak #BradMarchand #PatriceBergeron #DavidKrejci #DonSweeney #VictorSoderstrom #ViktorArvidsson #TannerJeannot #MikeyEyssimont #JordanHarris #AlexSteeves #SeanKuraly #MorganGeekie #PatrikLaine #DonWaddell #PavelZacha #MasonLohrei #HenruJokiharhu #JohnBeecher #RileyTufte #JamesHagens #MarcoSturm #JeremySwayman #JimMontgomery #CharlieMcAvoy #HampusLindholm #NikitaZadorov #JoeSacco
