    Vin Diesel's Emotional Tribute & Keanu's Dolly Connection

    Just when you thought Vin Diesel's greatest contribution to emotional storytelling involved family, fast cars, and staring intensely into the middle distance, he goes and surprises everybody with a heartfelt tribute to Dolly Parton.Welcome back to The Rizzuto Show, the funny podcast where we apparently begin with Vin Diesel singing “I Will Always Love You” and somehow get MORE unpredictable from there.The crew tries to identify the mystery celebrity behind the surprisingly vulnerable performance before learning it's Vin Diesel—and, against all reasonable expectations, everybody is impressed. His deep voice and emotional delivery lead to the obvious conclusion that somebody should probably get this man “Ol' Man River” immediately.Then comes another Dolly Parton connection we absolutely did not have on the bingo card: Keanu Reeves.Keanu's mother, Patricia Taylor, worked as a costume designer for Dolly, including creating the famous black bunny outfit Dolly wore for her 1978 Playboy cover. That outfit eventually made its way into the Reeves household, where teenage Keanu reportedly wore it for Halloween—bunny ears, bustier, fishnets, bow tie, sneakers and all. Somehow, this only strengthens the crew's argument that Keanu Reeves may be next in line for the title of universally beloved celebrity.From there, Crap on Celebrities gets moving with Miley Cyrus seemingly entering her one-name era, discussion surrounding Kelly Osbourne and public speculation about her appearance, and Bad Wolves releasing their metal version of “Jolene.” The crew also gets into the Sphere making The Wizard of Oz even more ridiculous, chart talk, Lionel Richie's health scare following his St. Louis performance, ZZ Top continuing forward, Kelly Clarkson wrapping her talk show, Jamie Pressley's reported hotel drama, and Mel Gibson apologizing after an awkward moment involving a sign-language interpreter.You know. Normal morning activities.Then Chad Gray joins the show ahead of his 30 Years of Madness stop at Delmar Hall, and the conversation turns into a trip through three decades of heavy music.Chad talks about building a set from roughly 12 albums of material across Mudvayne and HELLYEAH, including deep cuts that force him to keep lyric sheets nearby because apparently even the guy who wrote the songs occasionally needs the musical equivalent of checking his notes.He explains how he's kept his voice intact after decades of screaming and singing, what he learned from vocal coach Melissa Cross, and how his approach has evolved from essentially hitting every note “like a linebacker” to using more technique and finesse.The conversation gets deeper as Chad remembers being an outcast kid in Illinois and discovering heavy metal as both an identity and a tribe. That eventually leads into the incredible story of how HELLYEAH came together and Chad's first nerve-racking phone call with Vinnie Paul. Chad remembers going to Texas, entering the studio connected to Dimebag Darrell, and seeing firsthand how emotional returning to music was for Vinnie.Playing those HELLYEAH songs today remains emotional for Chad because, as he explains, performing them is one way of keeping Vinnie's memory alive.Chad also opens up about reaching five years of sobriety and how dramatically his life has changed. Rafe shares his own experience with 15 years without drinking, giving this funny podcast one of those rare moments where everybody stops roasting each other long enough to have an unexpectedly meaningful conversation.Don't worry. It doesn't become responsible for too long.The crew and Chad also revisit Mudvayne's unforgettable early-2000s rise, including their MTV appearance, winning the inaugural MTV2 award, meeting major stars backstage, and the absolutely stacked Ozzfest era. Chad reflects on what Ozzy Osbourne did for generations of metal bands by putting younger artists in front of enormous audiences and helping create opportunities that changed careers.There's talk of Peoria, Decatur, Illinois metal culture, touring, Mudvayne's future, Chad's current band, the legacy of HELLYEAH, and why sitting around waiting for something to happen simply isn't in his DNA.So yes, this episode begins with Vin Diesel singing Dolly Parton and eventually arrives at Vinnie Paul, Ozzfest, sobriety, Mudvayne history and Keanu Reeves wearing fishnets.We'd explain how those things belong together, but that would suggest this show has a plan.It does not.That's why you listen to this funny podcast in the first place.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    361. How To Be Awesome At Resetting Your Dopamine

    How To Be Awesome At Everything Podcast

    Play Episode Listen Later Sep 1, 2026 39:23


    Today we are talking about something that I think we all need to know about…  How to reset your dopamine. And before you think this is going to be one of those extreme episodes where I tell you to throw your phone into the ocean, stop drinking coffee, sit in a dark room for three days and eliminate everything fun from your life… That is absolutely not what we are doing. Because dopamine isn't bad. We need dopamine. Dopamine is part of what makes us want things. Pursue things. Work toward goals. Get up and go. The problem is that we are living in an environment where we can get enormous amounts of stimulation with almost zero effort. Open Instagram. Refresh your email. Check likes. Open TikTok. Eat something hyper-palatable. Buy something. Get a notification. Watch another episode. Click another video. Check your texts. Pick up your phone because you have 17 seconds with nothing to do. We have essentially eliminated boredom. And I think we need to talk about what that is doing to us. Because I don't think most people have a motivation problem. I think some people have made normal life too boring compared to the stimulation they consume all day long.   Think about this. Working toward a goal is slow. Building a business is slow. Getting stronger is slow. Improving a relationship is slow. Reading a book is slow. Learning something difficult is slow.     But your phone can give you novelty every half second. So what happens when your brain gets accustomed to incredibly stimulating rewards that require almost no effort? The things that actually build an awesome life can start feeling painfully boring.   And THAT is what I want to change today. I've been going deep into what Andrew Huberman, Chris Williamson, Stanford addiction psychiatrist Anna Lembke, Peter Attia and Gary Brecka have discussed around dopamine, reward, pleasure, discomfort and motivation. And there is one massive theme that keeps coming up: We need to stop getting so many rewards without earning them.   We need less cheap dopamine… And more earned dopamine. More accomplishment dopamine. More anticipation. More effort. More challenge. More doing hard things and feeling awesome afterward.   So today we're going to talk about what dopamine actually does, why our modern environment can completely screw with our motivation, what people mean by a dopamine reset, and most importantly… How we actually do it. Not forever. Not perfectly. But intentionally enough that normal life starts feeling interesting again.       Because imagine waking up and actually WANTING to work on your goals. Imagine sitting in your car without immediately opening your phone. Imagine finishing a workout and letting that accomplishment be the reward instead of instantly needing another stimulus. Imagine being fully engaged in dinner. Or a conversation. Or a walk. Or your kids. Or your work. That's what we're after. Not less enjoyment. More enjoyment from the things that actually matter. FIRST… WHAT IS DOPAMINE? Dopamine isn't simply the "pleasure chemical" This is probably the biggest misunderstanding. Dopamine plays a huge role in motivation, pursuit, learning, reinforcement and determining what your brain decides is worth pursuing again. Think less "this makes me happy" and more: "Go get that again." It's a molecule heavily involved in wanting and pursuing. Huberman explains dopamine in terms of baseline and peaks You have a baseline level of dopamine. Then certain experiences generate temporary increases above that baseline. The important part is what happens afterward. A big dopamine peak can be followed by a period where dopamine activity falls below where it was previously. This is part of why something incredible can sometimes leave you feeling strangely flat afterward. The higher and more frequently we chase enormous peaks, the more ordinary activities can start losing their appeal. Think about it like contrast If you eat incredibly sweet processed foods all day… A blueberry doesn't taste very sweet. There isn't anything wrong with the blueberry. Your reference point changed. The same general concept applies here. When your environment becomes filled with intense stimulation… Quiet feels boring. Reading feels boring. Work feels boring. Walking feels boring. A normal conversation feels boring. Your life didn't necessarily become boring. Your stimulation threshold changed. WHAT I MEAN BY "CHEAP DOPAMINE" I'm going to use the phrase cheap dopamine throughout this episode even though scientifically dopamine itself isn't cheap or expensive. What I mean is: A high-reward experience requiring very little effort. Things like: Endless short-form videos Constant social media refreshing Notifications Online shopping Gambling Highly processed foods Video games for hours and hours Constant snacking Drinking Continually checking texts Refreshing email Internet rabbit holes Watching episode after episode after episode Constant novelty And here's the key… None of those things has to be inherently evil. It's the dose. The frequency. And whether you've lost control over your consumption. There's a massive difference between choosing to watch a movie on Saturday night… And being literally unable to stand in an elevator for 25 seconds without checking your phone. That's the part I want us to notice. THE WORLD HAS REMOVED THE WAITING This might be one of the biggest problems. Almost everything used to have some friction. You wanted food? You cooked it. You wanted entertainment? You waited until your show came on. You wanted to talk to your friend? You called them. Maybe they weren't home. You wanted to buy something? You drove somewhere. You wanted information? You found a book. Now? Everything is immediate. Food. Entertainment. Shopping. Attention. Validation. Communication. Information. Novelty. Almost every human desire has an app attached to it. And our brains evolved in an environment where rewards generally required work. Now we can receive reward after reward while lying horizontally on the couch. That is a massive mismatch. THE PLEASURE-PAIN SEESAW One of my favorite explanations comes from Dr. Anna Lembke. She describes pleasure and pain almost like opposite sides of a balance. When we repeatedly push hard toward pleasure… Our brain tries to restore balance. And over time, you may need more of the stimulus just to experience the same effect. This is incredibly obvious with severe addiction. But I think it's useful to recognize much milder versions in ourselves. Have you ever: Opened Instagram for five minutes and 45 minutes disappeared? Finished a show and immediately needed another episode? Finished dessert and started looking for something else sweet? Checked one notification and then somehow checked four different apps? Picked up your phone without consciously deciding to? That automatic reaching is important. You aren't necessarily choosing anymore. You're responding. And I want us to get back into choosing. WHY NOTHING FEELS EXCITING ANYMORE Sometimes people say: "I'm unmotivated." "I don't feel like working." "I can't concentrate." "I'm bored." "I don't really feel excited about anything." Obviously there can be many medical, psychological and situational reasons for those feelings. But there is another question worth asking: How much stimulation are you consuming? Because if you're exposing yourself to novelty constantly… Your brain never gets a chance to be bored enough to create. Never bored enough to think. Never bored enough to solve a problem. Never bored enough to decide what you actually want. We're treating boredom like an emergency. I actually think boredom is incredibly productive. Some of my best ideas happen when there's nothing else coming into my brain. And we are filling every single empty pocket.   DOPAMINE STACKING Huberman talks about something that I think is fascinating: stacking multiple dopamine-producing experiences together. Think about a workout. Exercise itself can be rewarding. But now we add: Pre-workout. Favorite playlist. Phone. Texts. Social media. Energy drink. Maybe stimulants. Maybe a reward meal afterward. Maybe we post the workout and check responses. We've taken one intrinsically rewarding activity and stacked reward upon reward upon reward. And his point isn't that you can never do those things. It's that you don't necessarily want every good experience in life turned up to 100 every single time. Sometimes train without the perfect playlist. Sometimes walk without the podcast. Sometimes drink the coffee without simultaneously scrolling Instagram. Sometimes eat without watching television. Separate the rewards. You don't have to eliminate pleasure. Stop supercharging every experience. LEARN TO LOVE EFFORT This might be my favorite part of the entire episode. We need to stop making the reward exclusively something that comes AFTER the work. "I'll work out and then I can have this." "I'll finish this project and then I'll reward myself." "I'll complete my work and then I'll scroll." There's nothing wrong with celebrating accomplishments. But we also want to train ourselves to associate the effort itself with something positive. Because if the entire purpose of doing something difficult is the reward waiting at the end… The work becomes something you're trying to escape. Instead: "This discomfort means I'm getting stronger." "This is hard because I'm growing." "I'm proud of myself for doing this when I don't feel like doing it." "This is what keeping promises to myself feels like." "This is who I am." That shift is huge. The workout becomes the win. Doing the work becomes the win. Keeping the promise becomes the win. USE DISCOMFORT ON PURPOSE This theme comes up across a lot of these conversations. We're living in an unbelievably comfortable world. Temperature-controlled houses. Food everywhere. Cars. Couches. Entertainment. Delivery. Escalators. Amazon. Everything is optimized to eliminate friction. But voluntary discomfort can be incredibly valuable. Exercise. Walking. Strength training. Running. Sauna. Cold exposure when appropriate and done safely. Doing something physically difficult. Getting outside when conditions aren't perfect. Taking the stairs. Having the difficult conversation. Doing the work you're avoiding. The idea isn't: "Suffering is good." The idea is: Stop organizing your entire life around avoiding discomfort. Because challenge followed by satisfaction is very different from pleasure followed by emptiness. One you earned. One you consumed. We need both fun and hard things. But modern life has heavily tilted us toward consumption. DON'T START YOUR DAY WITH OTHER PEOPLE'S DOPAMINE Here's something I think would change a lot of people's lives. Do not roll over and immediately hand your brain to your phone. Because instantly you've got: Texts. News. Instagram. Email. TikTok. Other people's emergencies. Other people's opinions. Other people's lives. Other people's accomplishments. Other people's bodies. Other people's vacations. Other people's businesses. Other people's problems. Before you've even decided what YOU want your day to look like. I would rather protect that first part of the morning. Wake up. Water. Sunlight. Walk. Workout. Journal. Think. Plan. Work. Whatever your routine is. Just don't immediately flood your brain with novelty. You should decide the direction of your day before an algorithm decides it for you. THE 2.0 DOPAMINE RESET Okay. Here is what I would actually do. Not some insane internet detox. A realistic reset. RULE #1: Identify YOUR cheap dopamine Ask yourself: What do I compulsively reach for? Not what does the internet tell me is bad. What has control over ME? Maybe yours is: Instagram. TikTok. Shopping. Sugar. Video games. News. YouTube. Email. Texting. Something else. Identify the top one or two. Don't try to become a monk overnight. RULE #2: Take a meaningful break from the biggest offender If something truly feels compulsive, consider taking a real period away from it rather than constantly trying to moderate it. Try deleting it for a week. Maybe two. Maybe 30 days. See what happens. You might be shocked by how often your hand reaches for an app that isn't there. That's valuable information. RULE #3: Stop filling every gap This is a HUGE one. We're bringing back empty space. Stand in line. Just stand there. Drive five minutes. No podcast. Walk around the block. No headphones. Sit outside. Do nothing. Take a shower without content playing. Cook dinner without a video. You are retraining yourself to tolerate a lower level of stimulation. And here's the funny thing… After a while it doesn't feel low stimulation. It feels peaceful. RULE #4: Create phone-free zones Pick places where your phone does not belong. Examples: Bedroom Dinner table Gym Family time Bathroom First hour of the morning Last hour before bed Don't rely purely on willpower. Change your environment. Leave the phone somewhere else. Make the bad habit inconvenient. RULE #5: Turn off almost every notification Notifications are someone else deciding when your attention moves. Think about that. Unless something legitimately requires immediate attention… Turn it off. RULE #6: Stop stacking everything Coffee + Instagram + television + food + texting? No. Pick one. Workout + podcast + scrolling between sets + energy drink + Instagram? Simplify it. Let an experience stand alone. Food can just be food. Coffee can just be coffee. A walk can just be a walk. A conversation can just be a conversation. RULE #7: Get your dopamine through pursuit This is the big replacement strategy. You can't just remove things. You need better things to move toward. Exercise. Building something. Learning. Working. Creating. Sports. Relationships. Adventure. Goals. Competition. Skill. Experiences. Meaningful challenges. Get obsessed with something difficult. That is completely different than being addicted to consumption. RULE #8: Do one hard thing every day I love this rule. Every day, intentionally do something that you'd rather avoid. Workout hard. Make the phone call. Send the proposal. Clean the closet. Have the conversation. Finish the project. Run the hill. Get into the cold water if that's safe for you. Walk when you'd rather sit. Do the thing you've been procrastinating. You start creating evidence: "I don't have to feel like doing something in order to do it." That is power. RULE #9: Prioritize sleep Your brain isn't operating independently of your body. If you're chronically sleep-deprived, everything becomes harder. Motivation. Impulse control. Training. Food choices. Emotional regulation. Focus. Peter Attia and Huberman both hammer sleep for a reason. If we're trying to optimize our brain while sleeping five hours… We're focusing on the wrong end of the problem. RULE #10: Morning sunlight and movement Huberman talks frequently about getting outdoor light early in the day to anchor your circadian system. I love pairing that with movement. Outside. Walk. Light. No Instagram. Let your nervous system wake up naturally. It's incredibly simple. And simple things done repeatedly tend to beat complicated hacks. THE 24-HOUR CHALLENGE Here is your challenge. For the next 24 hours: No phone for the first 30 minutes after waking. No social media until you've completed something productive. Turn off unnecessary notifications. No phone while eating. Take one walk without headphones. Do one difficult thing you've been avoiding. No double-screening. If you're watching TV, you're not also scrolling. Put your phone outside your bedroom tonight. Let yourself experience boredom. Notice every time you instinctively reach for stimulation. Don't judge yourself. Observe yourself. Because awareness is the beginning of changing anything. THEN TRY SEVEN DAYS Now let's level it up. For seven days: Reduce your biggest cheap-dopamine behavior dramatically. You don't need to eliminate all pleasure. In fact, please don't. Go to dinner. Laugh. Drink your coffee. Listen to music. Hang with friends. Enjoy your life. This isn't punishment. We're trying to reclaim our ability to enjoy NORMAL things. That's the goal. Less artificial stimulation. More real life. ASK YOURSELF THIS QUESTION Before you reach for something, ask: Am I choosing this, or am I escaping something? That question can completely change things. Why am I opening Instagram? Because I intentionally decided to spend 15 minutes enjoying it? Fine. Or because this task got difficult? Why am I eating this? Because I'm hungry and I want it? Fine. Or because I'm uncomfortable? Why am I drinking? Because I'm celebrating with friends? Or because I can't tolerate sitting with how I feel? Why am I checking email for the 47th time? Because I'm waiting for something important? Or because working on the project in front of me is harder? That pause between impulse and behavior… That's where your power is. CHEAP DOPAMINE VS EARNED DOPAMINE This is the easiest way I can summarize the episode. Cheap dopamine: Consume. Scroll. Click. Watch. Refresh. Snack. Buy. Escape. Earned dopamine: Build. Train. Create. Learn. Connect. Explore. Compete. Finish. Accomplish. The first category isn't evil. But if the balance of your life is overwhelmingly consumption… Don't be surprised when your motivation disappears. Shift the ratio. More creating. Less consuming. More doing. Less watching. More participating. Less observing. More real life. Less digital life. WE NEED ANTICIPATION BACK I think anticipation is disappearing. When everything is immediately available… There's nothing to look forward to. And looking forward to something is part of the fun. Plan the trip. Wait for Friday night. Save the amazing dessert for dinner. Don't buy everything the second you want it. Put the concert on the calendar. Build toward the race. Earn the reward. Delay things intentionally sometimes. The waiting isn't ruining the experience. The waiting IS part of the experience. YOUR LIFE SHOULD NOT NEED CONSTANT ENTERTAINMENT This might be the line I want you to remember. You should not need to be entertained every minute in order to enjoy your life. Your kids shouldn't either. We need boring car rides. We need afternoons with nothing scheduled. We need conversations without phones. We need walks. We need staring out the freaking window. We need thinking. We need daydreaming. We need opportunities for our brains to say: "Okay… what should we do?" Creativity often appears after the stimulation disappears. THE GOAL IS NOT LOWER DOPAMINE This is important. We're not trying to crush dopamine. We're not trying to become emotionless. We're not trying to avoid things that make us feel amazing. We're trying to protect our ability to feel amazing. That's different. We want the vacation to feel incredible. The concert. The accomplishment. The amazing dinner. The business win. The race. The adventure. The hug. The goal. The experience. We just don't need to manufacture an artificial mini-version of that feeling 800 times between breakfast and lunch. Leave some room. Let your baseline exist without constantly smashing the stimulation button.   Here's what I think is so interesting about all of this. We have designed a world where almost everything that used to require effort can now be accessed instantly. And that sounds like freedom. But if we're not careful… Convenience becomes dependence. Entertainment becomes distraction. Pleasure becomes compulsion. And access becomes addiction. The answer isn't to reject modern life. I'm certainly not giving up my phone. I'm not giving up coffee. I'm not giving up Instagram. I'm not giving up amazing food or concerts or trips or all the fun things. I want MORE life. That's actually the entire point. I don't want to spend my life looking down at a screen getting tiny rewards when there are enormous rewards available by actually participating in life. I want the dopamine from doing the workout I didn't want to do. Building the business. Taking the trip. Making the memory. Trying something new. Getting really freaking good at something. Having an amazing conversation. Being completely present with my kids. Creating something I'm proud of. Doing something hard. That's the dopamine I want more of. And maybe the simplest takeaway from this whole episode is this: Stop making pleasure so easy and effort so optional. Let yourself work for things. Let yourself wait for things. Let yourself be bored. Let yourself struggle. Let yourself anticipate. Let yourself earn some of the really good feelings. Because when we stop trying to make every moment maximally stimulating… Something really cool happens. Normal life starts becoming awesome again. And that is how to be awesome at resetting your dopamine.

    HE CHOICE OF A NEW GENERATIONWhat kind of faith are we handing to the next generation?In this powerful message, Pastor Eric challenges us to consider what the Church of the future will look like—and whether the faith we carry today is something the next generation will experience for themselves. Scripture warns of a generation that grew up without personally experiencing the presence of God or seeing what He had done. We cannot simply hand down traditions. The next generation needs an encounter with Jesus. Culture is constantly offering us a “new formula”—something more comfortable, more popular, and easier to accept.

The question is: **What are we willing to trade?**We cannot sell truth for trends, convictions for comfort, or power for pleasure.

    HE CHOICE OF A NEW GENERATIONWhat kind of faith are we handing to the next generation?In this powerful message, Pastor Eric challenges us to consider what the Church of the future will look like—and whether the faith we carry today is something the next generation will experience for themselves. Scripture warns of a generation that grew up without personally experiencing the presence of God or seeing what He had done. We cannot simply hand down traditions. The next generation needs an encounter with Jesus. Culture is constantly offering us a “new formula”—something more comfortable, more popular, and easier to accept. But the Gospel doesn't need a new formula. The Word of God is still the standard. The Cross still works. The blood still flows. The Spirit still empowers. We don't need something new—we need Jesus. The question is: **What are we willing to trade?**We cannot sell truth for trends, convictions for comfort, or power for pleasure.

    Niels Kaastrup-Larsen and Alan Dunne examine how a changing macro regime is reshaping markets and the role of trend following. They discuss unusual U.S. intervention in the yen, mounting sensitivity around Treasury yields, and questions surrounding Kevin Warsh's communication and the Fed's credibility. Alan identifies three fractures defining the new regime: persistent inflation, growing debt sustainability concerns, and the erosion of institutional norms. They also explore why trend following has performed differently this decade, particularly during periods of bond market stress, before comparing AQR and GMO's strikingly different long-term return assumptions and what they imply for portfolio construction.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Alan on Twitter.Episode TimeStamps:00:00 - Introduction and what's been on Alan's radar01:55 - Why U.S. intervention in the yen matters07:04 - Zuckerberg, Meta and the $16.68 billion question08:31 - August trend following performance and market intervention12:16 - Why CTA performance is increasingly dispersed16:08 - Kevin Warsh, the Fed balance sheet and Treasury supply18:56 - Has short-term trend following structurally degraded?22:17 - Macro narratives versus systematic positioning24:37 - Fed communication, credibility and the Warsh reaction function30:16 - Bessent, Warsh, Druckenmiller and the battle over bond yields34:23 - The three fractures reshaping the macro regime41:42 - How trend following has changed in the new regime49:54 - Commodities, deglobalization and diversification52:29 - AQR versus GMO: radically different forecasts for future returns01:02:08 - Debt sustainability and what investors should watch nextCopyright © 2025 – CMC AG – All Rights Reserved----PLUS: Whenever you're ready... here are 3 ways I can help you in your investment Journey:1. eBooks that cover key topics that you need to know about In my eBooks, I put together some key discoveries and things I have learnt during the more than 3 decades I have worked in the Trend Following industry, which I hope you will find useful.

Ukraine reorganises its Donbas defence, whilst also wiping out another long range Russian bomber, deploying brand-new US military kit and answering the question we've all been wondering: can you have too many Kalashnikovs mounted on a single robot?

    In this episode, Mike Granato & Shaun Webb from Athletic Motion Golf Podcast answer the comment they get every single week: "Amateurs shouldn't try to copy tour players." Using years of 3D data on tour winners, they explain why that advice is backwards. The players in their database are not physical outliers. Many fail basic mobility screens that amateurs pass. What actually separates them is simpler movements, repeated inside a tight, learnable window, not more talent or more flexibility.They break down why good players fall into a narrow range on things like hip turn, arm bend, and spine angle (and why bad golf swings fall into a much wider one), the "shifting through the gears" idea versus jumping straight to full effort, and why two pros with completely different builds can both produce 180 mph ball speed through technique and sequencing, not strength. Then they get into the practical takeaway: find your own 3 or 4 "dominoes," the small number of things that move your swing back into a good window, write them on a note card, and stop chasing a new fix every week. They also cover why setup (grip, ball position, aim) drifts faster than your actual swing, and why removing variables before you practice is the fastest way to actually get better.You don't have to be a physical specimen to move like a tour player. You just have to move simply, and in the right direction.

Dr. Amie Hornaman, author of The Thyroid Fix, joins us to explain why she considers the thyroid the body's "master gland" and why standard thyroid testing may not tell the entire story. They break down TSH, free T3, free T4, reverse T3 and thyroid antibodies; the difference between "normal" and optimal lab results; Hashimoto's and hypothyroidism; and when thyroid hormone replacement may be appropriate. Amie also explains how gluten, over-exercising, chronic under-eating, nutrient deficiencies and aggressive GLP-1 use may affect thyroid health and metabolism.

    This episode is packed with your best economic ideas from around the world and a penguin interview. It all comes together in this final session of Summer School 2026.Pack your parka, we're headed to Antarctica. The continent nobody owns, but everyone benefits from and plenty of economic activity if you know where to look.First, we'll travel back in time to the late 1970s when NPR was a scrappy young network, with a synth soundtrack, and tons of heart. Science reporter Ira Flatow took a trip to the South Pole that put NPR on the news industry map. We'll hear an excerpt where he brings us along through what life is like on the ice, including a memorable interview with the wildlife.Then we look inside McMurdo Station, the largest human settlement and research base on Antarctica to hear from a listener who managed the store at the base back in the 1980s. Normal retail rules do not apply. We'll also speak with an economist who has estimated the continent's monetary value, while asking questions like “why put a price tag on this uninhabitable land”? She makes the case we should consider the environmental benefit as a service.But, we can't let the episode and the series wrap without marking our achievements! You did it! As part of our graduation celebration, we hear from your fellow members of the summer school class of 2026. Listeners like you who have written in from around the globe with provocative economic ideas that could make life better for all of us if we just have the will to do it.

    True Birth
    Can Preterm Birth Be Prevented?

    True Birth

    Play Episode Listen Later Aug 25, 2026 28:43


    Can preterm birth be prevented? Historically the answer has been no, and the numbers back that up. In 2006 the U.S. preterm birth rate was about 12 percent. In 2024 it was 10.4 percent. Medicine has gotten dramatically better at keeping premature babies alive, but almost no better at keeping pregnancies from ending early. In this episode, Kristin and Dr. Abdelhak make the case that the answer is yes, preterm birth can be prevented far more often than it is now, and that the field has been looking in the wrong place. Preterm birth is not one condition. It is a grab bag: placental abruption, systemic infection like appendicitis or pyelonephritis, uterine overdistension from twins, triplets, or polyhydramnios, trauma, severe hypertension, stimulant and cocaine use. Every one of those causes announces itself. The woman with triplets is obviously carrying triplets. The woman with an abruption is bleeding and in pain. So what about the woman with none of that, doing everything right, who shows up at 30 weeks contracting and three centimeters dilated? For forty years the answer was "subclinical infection," a diagnosis Dr. Abdelhak takes apart in this episode. If it is subclinical, why is preterm labor the only clinical thing it ever does? Why does an appendicitis start with pain and fever and end in labor, while this mystery infection skips straight to the last step? And after four decades of amniocentesis studies cataloguing cytokines, interleukins, and prostaglandins, where is the treatment? There isn't one, because researchers found exactly what they went looking for. His answer is mechanical, not microbial. The cervix is a timekeeper on the pregnancy. Conventional teaching says contractions open the cervix. He argues it runs the other way: the cervix quietly gives way over weeks, and when it opens far enough, labor starts. That is why he says he is almost never surprised by a preterm labor. He was already watching the cervix shorten. Also covered: why previous preterm birth is the single strongest risk factor (it is the same cervix), why cone biopsy raises risk more than LEEP does, what funneling on ultrasound actually tells you, the difference between classic cervical insufficiency and the milder version that still lets you reach the third trimester, and why a three-hour precipitous labor at 38 weeks may be the same finding wearing a friendlier face. The practical takeaway: serial cervical length measurement for anyone with a red flag, first-time moms included, and cerclage when the cervix starts to open. Screening plus treatment, not a pill for an infection nobody can find. Plus: why the president and Taylor Swift would get their cervix measured every single week, and what that tells you about the standard of care the rest of us are offered. Topics covered, in order Why this topic is worth repeating, and why the framing here is not the conventional one The better question: preventing preterm birth, not preterm labor Fifty years, the March of Dimes, and a rate that has barely moved What we did get better at: neonatal survival and outcomes, not prevention Preterm birth as a grab bag, not a single disease Placental abruption Systemic infection: appendicitis, pyelonephritis, sepsis, severe pneumonia, COVID The subclinical infection theory, and the case against it Why the amniocentesis and cytokine studies found what they set out to find Uterine overdistension: twins, triplets, polyhydramnios Trauma, decidual hemorrhage Severe hypertension, pulsatile flow, and abruption risk before 20 weeks Cocaine, methamphetamine, smoking The patient nobody can explain, and what is actually going on The core claim: dilation causes the contractions, not the other way around Why Dr. Abdelhak is rarely surprised by a preterm labor Mild cervical insufficiency, and "dreamlike" cervical insufficiency at 38 weeks Why previous preterm birth is the number one risk factor LEEP versus cone biopsy, and why cone matters more Normal variation in cervical length, and the big nose analogy Length is not everything: bulk, thickness, and how the cervix feels Funneling on ultrasound as a warning sign The proposal: serial cervical length screening plus cerclage Why the numbers are U.S. numbers, and why international rates are not trustworthy The VIP standard of care, and who actually gets weekly scans Key takeaways Preterm birth is not one condition. Abruption, systemic infection, overdistension, trauma, and severe hypertension each have their own mechanism, and each is usually obvious on arrival. "Subclinical infection" is not a diagnosis, it is a placeholder. Forty years in, it has produced no treatment and no measurable drop in the preterm birth rate. The cervix is the timekeeper. When it is weak, it opens slowly over weeks, and labor follows the opening rather than causing it. Previous preterm birth predicts the next one because it is the same cervix. You cannot order a new one. Cone biopsy raises preterm birth risk more than LEEP, because more cervix is removed. Length is a clue, not a verdict. Plenty of women have naturally short cervixes and carry to term. Funneling, bulk, and change over time matter as much as a single number. The intervention that would move the needle already exists. Serial cervical length measurement in anyone with a risk factor, and cerclage when it starts to open. Screening and treatment, not a mystery pill. Terms mentioned Placental abruption — the placenta separating from the uterine wall before delivery. Pyelonephritis — kidney infection. Polyhydramnios — too much amniotic fluid. Uterine overdistension — the uterus stretched beyond its comfortable capacity, as with twins or triplets. Cervical insufficiency — a cervix that opens without labor. Funneling — the cervix opening from the inside out, visible on ultrasound before any external change. Cerclage — a stitch placed to reinforce the cervix. LEEP and cone biopsy — procedures removing cervical tissue after abnormal Pap or HPV findings. Precipitous labor — a very fast labor, often under three hours. Memorable quotes: "I am telling you what happened was the three centimeters dilated caused the contractions." "If it's subclinical, why doesn't it stay that way?" "The cervix is a mechanical timekeeper on the pregnancy." Got something you want to share or ask? Keep it coming. We love hearing from you.

    Today, I'm delighted to connect with Sara Hirsh Bordo, an autoimmune-diagnosed, 15-times award-winning documentary filmmaker, the founder and CEO of Women Rising, and the author of Autoimmunity and the Good Girls. I loved Sara's book, and I love her work! I believe her message will resonate deeply with listeners with concurrent autoimmune conditions, and those who have grown up as people pleasers or have subjugated themselves over the course of their lives. Autoimmune conditions often tend to flare or first present during major hormonal transitions like postpartum, perimenopause, or menopause. So it's important to understand the influence of chronic stress and how it intersects with our immune system function. In our conversation, Sara and I discuss how self-silencing makes us sick, and overgiving keeps us that way. We explore the influence of family and culture on our health and longevity, the effects of autoimmunity, people pleasing, good-girl conditioning, and authenticity versus dissociation. We also discuss Gabor Maté's book, The Myth of Normal, liberation, the fear of disappointment, Sara's research, her concept of the license to be sovereign, the act of receiving, the role of epigenetics and birth order, and Sara's framework of coherence, authenticity, epigenetics, and permission. Stay tuned for a wonderful conversation about autoimmunity, people-pleasing, authenticity, and permitting ourselves to be sovereign. Sarah's book, Autoimmunity and the Good Girls, will likely resonate deeply with many of you. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How self-silencing, self-neglect, and self-betrayal can impact a woman's health The connection between chronic stress, suppressed feelings, good girl conditioning, and autoimmunity What it feels like to reclaim your authenticity and be more aligned with yourself How the fear of disappointing others can make it difficult for some women to claim their power What Sara discovered about adverse girlhood experiences, birth order, and the caretaker role when compiling the research for her book How becoming more sovereign can help women advocate for their own needs Why receiving can be difficult for women who are accustomed to giving How stillness and silence helped Sara identify her needs and wants How girlhood experiences, self-silencing, and self-compromise can become epigenetic inputs, and what women can do to create more supportive environments Why permission is a key part of Sara's framework for reclaiming authenticity Bio: Sara Hirsh Bordo Sara Hirsh Bordo (pronounced Bordeaux) is a 15-time award-winning filmmaker and Founder/CEO of Women Rising®, named "One of the Most Innovative, Interesting, and Purpose-Driven Women-Led Startups to Watch” by Inc. Magazine. Sara is currently directing short documentary films for Toyota and ESPN Women, and most recently, the executive producer of ConnectHer International Film Festival, consulting director for the Gates Foundation PitchFest Program, and the author and researcher behind the first proprietary quantitative survey at the intersection of female empowerment and health, Autoimmunity and the Good GirlsTM.

    Welcome to Episode 66, where the parking lot smells like raw sewage and somehow THAT is the least disgusting thing we discuss.The morning begins with Lern trying to figure out whether Hubbard Media has a sewage problem or whether she personally needs to reevaluate some life choices. Thankfully, the mystery quickly leads us to Florida, where somebody learns one of nature's most important rules the hard way: do not jump on a manatee. Especially when you haven't taken the time to determine whether said manatee is, you know… alive.What follows is Mother Nature delivering one of the fastest and grossest examples of karma we've ever encountered. And because this is a funny podcast run by adults who allegedly know better, the conversation immediately becomes a competition over the nastiest things anyone has ever gotten on themselves.Rizz remembers the beautiful bonding experience of having baby vomit deposited directly into his mouth. Moon recalls an athletic encounter with an impressive amount of dog poop. And then Rafe casually unlocks a repressed memory from his days working in surgery that probably should've stayed repressed. There's gangrene. There's a sterile operating room. There's vomiting. There's mint extract that arrives WAY too late. At one point, breakfast officially files for divorce.We also discover that the infamous “blue waffle” is an Internet hoax, which is terrific news for anyone who survived the early Internet and somehow never bothered to verify that until adulthood.Eventually, Rizz attempts to drag this funny podcast out of the biological danger zone by choosing joy. Unfortunately, he's Rizz, so even his daughter thanking him for making dinner turns into an existential crisis involving garlic, dementia, stuffed animals, retirement in Florida, and an imaginary future son-in-law handling his estate. Normal father-daughter stuff.Then we actually get GOOD NEWS. St. Charles runner Emma Kessler thought she'd be tackling a half marathon without her boyfriend Jason, who repeatedly insisted running wasn't his thing. Turns out Jason had secretly trained for months so he could surprise her and run alongside her. It's sweet. It's supportive. Nobody gets covered in anything. Naturally, Rizz's immediate concern is that this man is making every other partner look terrible.The crew also looks back at teenage summer jobs — camp counseling, landscaping, mall jobs, mowing lawns, hauling hay, food service and all the other character-building employment our parents lovingly forced upon us. With fewer teenagers working summer jobs than when the crew was growing up, we ask whether kids are missing an important rite of passage. Rafe's solution? Basically draft every 16-year-old into retail or food service. Honestly, one summer behind a register might improve society overnight.Episode 66 is funny podcast chaos in its purest form: weird news, gross stories, St. Louis conversation, parenting failures, questionable childhood employment and the kind of morning-show tangents that begin with sewage and somehow end in labor statistics.We're sorry about breakfast.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    The morning begins with Lern trying to figure out whether Hubbard Media has a sewage problem or whether she personally needs to reevaluate some life choices. Thankfully, the mystery quickly leads us to Florida, where somebody learns one of nature's most important rules the hard way: do not jump on a manatee. Especially when you haven't taken the time to determine whether said manatee is, you know… alive.Rizz remembers the beautiful bonding experience of having baby vomit deposited directly into his mouth. Moon recalls an athletic encounter with an impressive amount of dog poop. And then Rafe casually unlocks a repressed memory from his days working in surgery that probably should've stayed repressed. There's gangrene. There's a sterile operating room. There's vomiting. There's mint extract that arrives WAY too late. At one point, breakfast officially files for divorce.Eventually, Rizz attempts to drag this funny podcast out of the biological danger zone by choosing joy. Unfortunately, he's Rizz, so even his daughter thanking him for making dinner turns into an existential crisis involving garlic, dementia, stuffed animals, retirement in Florida, and an imaginary future son-in-law handling his estate. Normal father-daughter stuff.Then we actually get GOOD NEWS. St. Charles runner Emma Kessler thought she'd be tackling a half marathon without her boyfriend Jason, who repeatedly insisted running wasn't his thing. Turns out Jason had secretly trained for months so he could surprise her and run alongside her. It's sweet. It's supportive. Nobody gets covered in anything. Naturally, Rizz's immediate concern is that this man is making every other partner look terrible.Apparently Gen X isn't going to enough concerts, so today we're solving the live music industry one folding chair and bottle of ibuprofen at a time.A concert promoter asking what it would take to get Gen X back out to shows. The answers? Bring back physical tickets. Give us cleaner bathrooms. Stop making everything cost approximately one kidney. Fine bands for showing up late. And while we're making demands, how about concerts that start at 3 p.m. and wrap by 6 so everybody can be home, showered and questioning their life choices before the evening news?The crew gets into the bigger problem facing live music right now, from third-party ticket sellers and ridiculous resale prices to mid-level artists trying to survive while fans blow their entire entertainment budget on one or two giant shows. Foo Fighters are stepping in to open for AC/DC in St. Louis, which leads to the very important question of how long the Foo Fighters actually get to play when they're technically the opener. There's also an update on Def Leppard guitarist Vivian Campbell and his continued battle with Hodgkin's lymphoma.The Jack White and Charley Crockett drama continues after Twin Temple was removed from dates on Crockett's tour. Jack White defended the band, Crockett fired back, White responded with a bizarre musical troll, and suddenly everybody is keeping track of who released more albums. Rafe likes Crockett's music but would also like everyone involved to calm down and simply make songs again.Then Demon Hunter enters the chat. The Christian metal band is suing over the KPop Demon Hunters name, arguing that the massive Netflix property and its live-event expansion could create confusion with their long-established band. King Scott once saw the band demon hunter perform KPOP.The Missouri State Fair has given us many things over the years, and today we can add freeze-dried pickles capable of removing every drop of moisture from the human body to the list.Then we return to one of the most important educational developments of our generation: Fart Corner.The teacher whose classroom fart corner went viral has responded to all the attention and clarified her intentions. Apparently, kids today have significantly less shame about letting one rip in class, so she created a designated location where students can handle their business and return to society. Fart Corner is now also The Gas Station.Then it's time for King Scott to host Matchup With Moon, and whatever intellectual credibility remained in the studio immediately leaves through the emergency exit.Rizz and Moon battle through trivia involving the longest-running television game show, Walter Mondale, the PGA Hall of Fame, malware and the Rice Krispies mascots before King Scott drops the Millard Fillmore tiebreaker.Round two somehow gets worse. The guys tackle the undefeated Miami Dolphins, continents, Louis Armstrong, bowling terminology and the origin of Spam. “Spiced ham” should have been easy, but instead we get guesses including separated ham, spectacular meats, special mail and surplus meat.Then comes the Great Bowling Debate of 2023.Another episode of daily comedy from The Rizzuto Show.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Boyfriend Secretly Trains For Two Months To Surprise Girlfriend and Run Alongside Her in Dreaded First Half-MarathonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    Art Berman: Iran War Causing ‘Phase-Shift’ in Oil Markets, ‘Will Never’ Return to Normal

    Stijn Schmitz welcomes back Art Berman to the show. Art Berman is The Energy Realist. Berman explains that the initially feared catastrophic disruption from the Iran War has been partially offset, with production losses revised down to roughly 5 million barrels a day, though he stresses this remains a historically massive number. The absence of immediate global economic collapse is attributed to significant demand destruction, particularly in China, and the critical role of inventories. Using an analogy of a savings account versus a paycheck, he distinguishes between strategic and commercial reserves, noting that ample inventories have cushioned the market, preventing oil prices from spiking as they did during the Ukraine war when stocks were dangerously low. However, he warns that this cushion is finite and being drawn down at an alarming rate, with his comparative inventory model suggesting severe price pressures could materialize by November. The discussion highlights the profound risks associated with shut-in production, where wells may never return to prior output levels due to complex subsurface physics. Berman describes the situation as a permanent “phase shift,” arguing the global oil system is fragmenting into distinct geopolitical blocs and will never revert to its pre-war state. He emphasizes that alternative supplies are not a simple solution because crude oil quality varies dramatically; light U.S. shale oil cannot easily replace medium-grade Persian Gulf crude required by many refineries. Looking at the longer term, Berman frames oil as a mature, declining resource, stating that civilization must eventually adapt to the end of perpetual growth, a transition that will fundamentally reshape society.
