Psychedelics in psychotherapy. That's the theme of this four-part documentary from Netflix. Can psychedelics break damaging thought patterns and allow people to heal from depression and trauma? This doc series would like to prove that they at least hold promise to do that. We cover episodes #1 (LSD) and #3 (MDMA).(Interesting, very recent twist: researchers have altered LSD to make it helpful to the brain but unable to cause psychedelic effects.)Join our Discord for free at goodcompanydiscord.com!Check out our gym (Third Street Barbell) at ThirdStreetBarbell.com https://www.thirdstreetbarbell.com/ and subscribe for updates about our apparel line at goodcompanyapparel.com https://3sb.co/!

Netflix's Untold documentary series takes a look at the phenomenon of The Liver King. Purportedly already a multi-millionaire, Brian Johnson launched a muscular social media and YouTube presence as a “primal” influencer who used raw organ meats, including testicles, rather than steroids to build his crazy physique. He amassed a huge following and reaped more revenue for his supplement company, but was he telling the truth about being natty? Nope. The documentary spends a bit too much time setting up his performative persona and a bit too little time examining the fallout of his outing as a heavy steroid user (and his apparent previous life of crime). But the bottom line is that the man and this documentary are steeped in ick.

We've been talking about cults and how they're covered in the media. Back in 2021, we looked at the HBO documentary series “The Way Down: God, Greed and the Cult of Gwen Shamblin” on a couple of episodes. It is about a crazy, scary religious cult. This week, Mike's under the weather, and we haven't had a chance to record, so this seems like a good time to present these episodes again as one.As a refresher, here's the description of the doc series, “Follows the Remnant Fellowship Church, exploring the fame and power of its leader Gwen Shambling Lara as a diet guru and church leader, and the truth behind her carefully-curated image, detailing the church's controversial practices.”Join our Discord for free at goodcompanydiscord.com!Check out our gym (Third Street Barbell) at ThirdStreetBarbell.com https://www.thirdstreetbarbell.com/ and subscribe for updates about our apparel line at goodcompanyapparel.com https://3sb.co/!

“We spent time today discussing all the ways that owners can have a positive impact on career growth, whether you're a bedside nurse or just in teaching, research, hospital leadership. More than career growth, I see ONS as kind of a barrier to burnout and a catalyst for professional self-care. I think that no matter what aspect of oncology care you're involved in, it is a difficult and complex specialty. And I think with that can come a lot of challenges and tough days, and ONS brings a sense of community to that and, specifically, a community that is pushing cancer care forward,” ONS member Amy Kaiser, MSN, CPNP-PC, told Nick Escobedo, DNP, RN, OCN®, NE-BC, member of the ONS 50th anniversary committee, during a conversation about the benefits of ONS membership. Escobedo spoke with Kaiser, who joined ONS as a student, and Susan Groenwald, PhD, RN, ANEF, FAAN, a charter ONS member, about how ONS membership and resources have helped them grow in their careers.

The area that sticks out to me was, I was the board liaison to the standards committee. And so, the development of oncology nursing standards, it was a hallmark and critical to the field and to me and my practice, as well as education. It was very exciting time.” TS 4:18 Kaiser: “I think that my very first introduction to cancer care came from the Cancer Basics course. I think I feel fortunate that I probably was the recipient of a lot of the efforts of Susan, who has pioneered so many of these different oncology resources. I had the benefit of being at school during a time where there were a ton of resources available through ONS.” TS 5:38 Groenwald: “Having attended the meetings and getting involved in some of the committees is where I met people and worked with people. And that became, for me, very vital for doing a book, where it was a contributed book, an edited book [Cancer Nursing: Principles and Practice], so we had lots of different chapters and contributors, but I met them all through ONS. And how we communicated was via the old-fashioned mail and telephone. I didn't even have a computer. We typed the whole manuscript, thousands and thousands of pages, the first couple editions.” TS 12:25 Kaiser: “What's so wonderful about going to [Congress] is everybody there is looking to move oncology nursing forward and meet people and connect and network. And it's this, you know, magical space of people who are meeting and sharing shared experiences, and I got to feel all of that prior to even being an oncology nurse. And I went home from that first conference, immediately discussed with my manager that I wanted to move to the oncology floor, and I did. But it was meeting all of those people and hearing about those career paths that did that for me.” TS 16:42 Kaiser: “I think people who are involved with ONS, I found, are also very, very willing to mentor. I was very fortunate as I was speaking to these people, not even being an oncology nurse, that they were so welcoming and wanted to welcome me into the specialty and wanted to show me how to get involved. So I think it's just taking that very first step of talking to somebody or going to that local chapter meeting, and then the rest of it becomes a lot easier.” TS 19:29 Groenwald: “One thing Amy mentioned that I think is important is that new nurses have so many opportunities. I think it's scary to put forth an abstract to speak at the conference. It's scary, but it's such a great opportunity for anybody at any level in their career. If they have something of interest to share, it's such a great place. I feel like it launched my career in terms of being able to speak in front of people and think critically about things and put together some projects. This all came from my work with ONS.” TS 20:51
The founder of the biggest YouTube skateboarding channel is a Scientologist. Has that fact become public, explaining the channel's drop in popularity over the past few years? Was it the money he spent climbing the rungs of this cult (and not on his skaters and staff)? Or was it just the normal life cycle of a YouTube channel?Rather than reviewing a documentary, this time we're examining the handling of this story through several YouTube explainers and exposes. What do these have in common with real docs? Do we get any closer to understanding what happened with Aaron Kyro and Braille Skateboarding?Videos discussed during this episode:https://youtu.be/uEk_pc0xVYc?si=hdfiZY6W_hF2aMuEhttps://youtu.be/V-GIyKIlL9g?si=7aOy3qXiK4Vzf55hhttps://youtu.be/ZF0p1aXqm8M?si=gmCxuRmGNznwSQzWJoin our Discord for free at goodcompanydiscord.com!Check out our gym (Third Street Barbell) at ThirdStreetBarbell.com https://www.thirdstreetbarbell.com/ and subscribe for updates about our apparel line at goodcompanyapparel.com https://3sb.co/!

We're taking a closer look at a topic that we've touched on briefly before: Media covering the effects and inner workings of cults. The HBO documentary Going Clear is one of the most recognizable documentaries about the Church of Scientology. Celebrities like Tom Cruise have deep ties to this cult that was founded by prolific author L. Ron Hubbard. Some interesting aspects of this belief system are the need to pay huge sums of money to advance to higher levels of the organization and the fact that many aspects are not even explained to members until they have reached specific levels. For all its focus on mental health, are believers actually involved in activities that support good mental health?Join our Discord for free at goodcompanydiscord.com!Check out our gym (Third Street Barbell) at ThirdStreetBarbell.com https://www.thirdstreetbarbell.com/ and subscribe for updates about our apparel line at goodcompanyapparel.com https://3sb.co/!

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) disproportionately impacts underserved and minority populations, compounded by systemic barriers in care. These populations face increased risk factors yet often experience delayed diagnoses and limited access to specialists, leading to later-stage detection. In this episode, CANCER BUZZ speaks with Karen S. Waldrop, BSN, RN, OCN, ONN-CG, a GI oncology nurse navigator at UAB O'Neal Comprehensive Cancer, and Henry Rendon, a patient diagnosed with HCC in June 2023. Together, they share insights on the vital role of multidisciplinary teams and how nurse navigators can mitigate access barriers by improving patient outreach, facilitating access to care, and guiding patients through the complexities of the health care system. “Karen, my nurse navigator, knew everything I was going through. She made sure everything was coordinated and ran smoothly. She communicated clearly and thoroughly every time. I never had to second-guess what was happening. She made sure I was prepared, not just once, but every step of the way.” - Henry Rendon, patient guest with HCC “At our institution, we have a clinic where the patient can see a medical oncologist, a liver medical physician, an interventional radiology specialist, a pharmacist… the whole gamut. If they need social work, we'll pull in social work. If they need palliative care, we'll pull in palliative care. And that's in one visit. For folks with transportation issues or those who live far away, it's truly the best way to get care.” - Karen S. Waldrop, BSN, RN, OCN, ONN-CG Karen S.

A couple of episodes ago, we talked about a dramatic change in leadership at the International Powerlifting Federation. The latest wrinkle is that the federation has recently notified the manufacturers of “stiff” knee sleeves that their products are banned from use in competition – immediately. Is the IPF being fair to manufacturers or its members? What prompted this sudden change? Mike offers some insights from his past experiences with designing knee sleeves and working to gain IPF approval. What's the rationale behind a system that only favors companies that pay to play? What's the future of international competition if numerous companies, especially those that support meets with sponsorship, fail because they have too much money sunk into inventory they can't sell? We've got more questions than answers, to be honest. Listener resource: ONIBUKIYA response to the ban on ONI knee sleevesJoin our Discord for free at goodcompanydiscord.com!

A stroll back 13 years in time takes us to a very “well-reviewed” nutrition documentary that ultimately only delivers a laundry list of fear appeals, misinformation, and pro-vegan propaganda. Not that there's anything wrong with being a vegan, but getting there because you've been told that every other way of eating is somehow dangerous is kind of a cheap way to do it. Sugar is the poison, but so are artificial sweeteners. High-fructose corn syrup is somehow entirely different than other forms of sugar. Meat will kill you, etc. It's the greatest hits of food myths (although seed oils hadn't been vilified yet). Dean Saddoris @deansaddoris.ck, or media review homie, hangs with us again.

“There have been many changes since the '70s that have shaped the nurse's role in administering chemo, and in supporting patients. The major change early on was the transition from that of nurses mixing chemo to that of pharmacists. Regulatory agencies like NIOSH and OSHA defined chemotherapy as hazardous drugs, and professional organizations became involved, leading to the publication of the joint ASCO and ONS Standards of Safe Handling,” ONS member Scarlott Mueller, MPH, RN, FAAN, secretary of the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network Board and member of the Oncology Nursing Foundation Capital Campaign Cabinet, told Darcy Burbage, DNP, RN, AOCN®, CBCN®, ONS member and chair of the ONS 50th Anniversary Committee during a conversation about the evolution of chemotherapy treatment. Along with Mueller, Burbage spoke with John Hillson, DNP, NP, Mary Anderson, BSN, RN, OCN®, and Kathleen Shannon-Dorcy, PhD, RN, FAAN, about the changes in radiation, oral chemotherapy, and cellular therapy treatments they have witnessed during their careers.

To provide feedback or otherwise reach ONS about the podcast, email pubONSVoice@ons.org. Highlights From This Episode Hillson: “I remember as a new grad, from back in '98, walking up to the oncology floor. We had patients with pink labels on the chart and that was the radiation oncology service. I hadn't heard of such a thing before. … I'd gone through nursing school and hospital orientation and unit orientation without ever hearing of these therapies. At the time, both the management and the union had no interest in specialist nurses, and the really weren't any books that were targeting the role. And it was very isolating and frightening. I was very glad to find ONS when I moved to the U.S. Right now, the Oncology Nursing Society Manual for Radiation Oncology, Nursing Practice, and Education, it's in its fifth edition and a sixth is underway. There's nothing else like it. Most books are very much geared towards other professions.” TS 5:34 Mueller: “We mixed our chemo in a very small medication room on the unit, under a horizontal laminar flow hood, which we later discovered should have been a vertical laminar flow hood. Initially, we did not use any personal protective equipment. I remember mixing drugs like bleomycin and getting a little spray that from the vial onto my face. And to this day, I still have a few facial blemishes from that.” TS 14:28 Anderson: “As the increasing number of these actionable mutations continue to grow, so will the number of oral anticancer medications that patients are going to be taking. And we are already seeing that there's multiple combination regimens and complex schedules that the patients have to take. So this role the oral oncolytic nurse and the nursing role, like you said, it cannot be owned by one individual or discipline. So it's not a pharmacist; the pharmacies aren't owning this. The nurses are not owning this. It takes a village.” TS 32:12 Shannon-Dorcy: Then as immunotherapy comes into the picture, we start to learn about [cytokine release syndrome]. All of a sudden, we had no concept that this was a deadly consequence. ONS was on the front lines, convening people across the country together so we could speak to the investigative work with science and find ways that we could intervene, how we can look for signs of it early on with handwriting testing.” TS 39:58
Effective oncology care thrives on collaboration, and in this episode, we're joined by two trailblazing oncology nurses, Elizabeth Bettencourt, MSN, RN, OCN, and Mary Anderson, BSN, RN, OCN, who share their wealth of experience and passion for improving cancer care. Together, they introduce a newly developed Positive Quality Intervention (PQI) within the Oral Anticancer Medication (OAM) Care Compass—a collaborative resource created with the Oncology Nursing Society to enhance interprofessional teamwork and streamline oral anticancer medication workflows.Elizabeth and Mary take us inside the process of mapping oral oncolytic workflows, breaking down how this PQI can improve team-based care, patient adherence, and overall safety. More than just a structured approach, this initiative represents a commitment to ensuring that every patient receiving oral anticancer therapy is fully supported by a well-coordinated healthcare team.This episode goes beyond workflows and best practices—it's about the people behind the care. Elizabeth and Mary bring their deep understanding of oncology nursing to the conversation, shedding light on how interprofessional collaboration can truly transform patient outcomes. Whether you're a nurse, pharmacist, or part of the oncology care team, you'll walk away with both practical insights and a renewed appreciation for the dedication that fuels high-quality cancer care. Explore the Resources:Oral Anticancer Medication Patient Management Workflow Evaluation and Process Mapping PQIOAM Care Compass About the Guests:Elizabeth Bettencourt, MSN, RN, OCNWith more than 30 years in oncology, Elizabeth has dedicated the last 13 years to creating a comprehensive oral oncolytic program at Palo Alto Medical Foundation/Sutter Health. Her program, which has touched countless lives, weaves together prescription processing, education, and ongoing patient monitoring to ensure the best possible outcomes for patients battling cancer. Elizabeth's approach is a testament to the power of creating systems that truly support both patients and the oncology care team.Mary Anderson, BSN, RN, OCNMary's 36 years in oncology nursing are defined by her commitment to improving patient care and safety. Her journey, shaped by the struggles she saw patients face with oral anticancer medications, led her to develop critical interprofessional processes to enhance adherence and care.

Her passion for empowering others shines through in everything she does.

The 5-part Netflix Documentary Court of Gold chronicles the 2024 Olympic Basketball tournament in Paris. It's obviously a love letter to the gold medalist US team, but more specifically, Kevin Durrant, Steph Curry, and to a lesser extent, LeBron James. The episodes follow the tournament's progression and highlight a few of the other national teams along the way. The series features several insightful and down-to-earth interviews of players and coaches of the 2024 teams, as well as great teams of the past.

The third sequel to the bodybuilding documentary Generation Iron is all about the natties. It follows a group of competitors during the countdown to the Natural Olympia of 2019. Will natural bodybuilding ever gain the kind of traction that its “enhanced” counterpart does? And are the competitors really drug-free? Several commentators in the film cast doubt on that.

“The response was, in my opinion, sort of overwhelmingly positive. I think all of us old-timers who were at ONS Congress® in 1986 remember those 1,600 nurses waiting in line to enter the ballroom to take that inaugural exam. It takes a while to check in 1,600 people. They kind of all filled up the lobby outside of the ballroom, and then they spilled over down into the escalator, and the escalators had to be turned off,” Cyndi Miller-Murphy, MSN, FAAN, CAE, first executive director of the Oncology Nursing Certification Corporation (ONCC), told Clara Beaver, DNP, RN, AOCNS®, ACNS-BC, ONS member and member of the ONS 50th anniversary committee, during a conversation about the evolution of oncology nursing certification. Beaver spoke with Tony Ellis, MSEd, CAE, ICE-CCP, executive director of ONCC, and Miller-Murphy about the history, current landscape, and future of certification in oncology nursing.

Highlights From This Episode Miller-Murphy: “Oncology nursing is a highly specialized area with a broad, well-defined body of knowledge, and it's essential for employees and healthcare consumers to be able to identify nurses who have demonstrated that they possess the knowledge that's necessary to practice competently in the specialty. Nurses who become certified take that essential step to publicly demonstrate their knowledge. And I believe this makes them a known commodity, so to speak.” TS 1:49 Ellis: “Oncology nursing is an area of high-stakes patient care, and a core purpose of certification is to safeguard the public. This is certainly an area of health care that benefits from having that role of professional certification being played, from the knowledge requirements to the practice hours that a nurse must have, to the performance on the exam and continued competence required to maintain the certification. Our certifications hold nurses to a higher standard, which helps protect the public in the care that they provide.” TS 2:45 Miller-Murphy: “A group of, I think, 200 nurses got together at an American Cancer Society conference back in 1980 to discuss the desire for certification in ontology. Nurses wanted a way to verify their specialized knowledge and skills. They wanted to raise the level of professionalism, and ONS was the most appropriate organization to develop the certifications. And by 1983, a survey of members revealed strong interest in specialty certification in oncology.” TS 5:29 Ellis: “The pace of change in oncology care is really the challenge for certification programs proper right now. There's so many wonderful advances—oncology treatments and drugs that are coming to the market that are being used in non-oncology settings and other advancements in the practice, that keeping up with that change puts pressure on certification programs because they must validate knowledge and practice that has become standard. It has to have been in the practice long enough that whatever the content, whatever the practice is that you're testing on, that there is one single correct answer. So you can't necessarily test on the very latest of what has come to the market or to the practice. The other flipside of that is that pace of change, the new emerging things in the practice create opportunities for other kinds of credentials.” TS 24:31 Ellis: “What we have found is that there are thousands and thousands of oncology nurses that are practicing at a level and doing specialized work beyond the scope of the OCN® body of knowledge—so at the master's level, PhD, especially with the advent of the DNP, and there is work there. And this really came out of our work to update the advanced oncology nurse competencies. … So the new certification is the Advanced Certified Oncology Nurse, or the ACON. In certification, and it is suited for those nurses that are practicing at that higher level.” TS 32:52

To provide feedback or otherwise reach ONS about the podcast, email pubONSVoice@ons.org. Highlights From This Episode “Epigenetics is influenced by several factors. Right now, there's about seven of them that we've identified, and we can only manipulate right now about two of those seven. So the first one is DNA methylation. When you methylate DNA, that's adding or subtracting a methyl group, which is CH3, chemically. The addition of methyl to DNA tightens the DNA around the chromatin, which then can block some genes from being expressed.” TS 7:21 “Histones basically package DNA into the chromatin, which is a mixture of DNA and proteins, and they spool around this structure like the DNA is coiled around that. And again, it has to do with how tight or loose that is coiled. That determines if the genes are expressed or not. And again, we found that histones also play a role in DNA repair as well as regulating the cell cycle.” TS 8:21 “When we're dealing with the azacitidine and decitabine, these drugs cause pancytopenia. Pancytopenia is neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and anemia. So it affects the complete blood count. We see GI toxicity, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, sometimes mouth sores, and urticaria—hives.” TS 15:34 “It's really, really important to take these drugs exactly as they are prescribed. They have to follow the doctor's orders carefully, which requires taking them properly, doing the proper follow up. There's a lot of blood tests and appointments that we have to do to make sure that everything is okay. And again, because we know when there is nonadherence, the disease progresses and becomes resistant, so that's a really, really important teaching point. We have to monitor the patient for expected side effects and unexpected side effects.” TS 23:58 “Now, we expect the landscape to change dramatically over the next few years. And again, it's just an explosion of science information. As we learn more about the science, it's going to translate into practice. We're always identifying new biomarkers. These biomarkers are essentially DNA mutations or variations. There's so many variants of unknown significance.” TS 30:02 “Every patient deserves biomarker testing. Very important, whether it's through IHC, polymerase chain reactions, or the most common next-gen sequencing. Again, there's several companies out there that have standard kits available.” TS 31:33 “This is a precision medicine. This is what we've always dreamed about—tailoring the treatment to the specific patient. We've gone away from treating standard diseases, like lung cancer and breast cancer, the way they're supposed to be treated to now looking at these biomarkers and using epigenetic drugs and other medications tailored to those variants that that patient is having, not necessarily based on their disease type.” TS 33:59

“It is very much a collaborative group process. There are group meetings where we come to consensus on our different ratings.

So there is some flexibility in the opportunity as well,” Holly Tenaglia, DNP, APRN, AGCNS-BC, OCN®, lecturer at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, VA, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about what oncology nurses need to know about breast cancer treatment.

Highlights From This Episode “As far as how it would help oncology nurses, we try to make it honestly simpler by doing the legwork of reviewing the evidence, synthesizing what the rating of the evidence and what it means. And then as you'll see on the symptom intervention resource, you'll see kind of a snapshot of what our recommendations are for applying it to practice.” TS 7:46 “I am a clinical nurse specialist and now that I work in academia, this is a very important skill for me to build and have in my profession. Also, those group meetings that we have, I really appreciated being able to learn from others and then being able to teach that to others. So in this second round, for example, the thing that I've really enjoyed personally is actually being able to mentor somebody that maybe hasn't done it as often and just being able to watch them grow and improve in their skills while you provide feedback.” TS 9:05 “We get a new article about every two weeks, and this involves about a week for myself and then about a week or less than that for my partner to go through this process as well. So being able to manage your time to afford your partner the time to solidly look through the article as well. And then being able to collaborate and receive feedback from your peers.” TS 13:06 “There have been times where the evidence has not given us the results that I think we were assuming we would see. And so while the standardized tools mitigate some of the bias, we do recognize that it won't remove the bias entirely, but it does help make your view more objective. What are some common misconceptions about developing symptom intervention resources? I'd say personally, I don't know if I had misconceptions before I was part of the team as much as I just didn't know what the process entailed.” TS 18:18 “ONS is really committed to the growth of its members. I've really enjoyed being part of this volunteer opportunities and the other ones that I've been a part of. So truly, if you have a passion for something and you have the skills, ONS would love to have you and you will meet some of the greatest people in doing these opportunities. I've made some of the best connections and friendships through the volunteer opportunities I've done.” TS 21:35

“What I find most rewarding is connecting with nurses, who now understand the risks of exposure and are committed to minimizing their personal exposure.

Highlights From This Episode “PPE has always been recommended to reduce exposure because gloves and gowns provide physical barrier to protect against dermal absorption. But what we didn't know back then was what gloves and gowns were made of mattered. So PVC gloves were often used just because they were readily available in all our clinical settings. Gowns were rarely worn for drug administration, even though they had been recommended since early on, and many considered gowns back then as optional because the wording in the [Occupational Safety and Health Administration] guidelines said ‘recommended' and not ‘required.'” TS 3:19 “Those early chemo gloves were a bit like wearing gloves you might use to clean your oven. They were so thick and got in the way of taking care of patients or mixing drugs or administering drugs. So the biggest change, I think, is that gloves that are currently available are very thin, and they provide the necessary protection for those who are handling hazardous drugs. We now have a gloves standard that requires permeation studies to demonstrate the protective ability of the gloves before they can be labeled for use with hazardous drugs.” TS 11:56 “ONS and HOPA developed a position statement on safe handling of hazardous drugs. … This came because our two organizations were unable to support some of the other proposed guidelines from another organization. So we got together, and through our cooperation, resulted in language about the importance of safe handling, about supporting safe handling for practitioners, pharmacists, and nurses. Also, I feel really good about this—our cooperation resulted in language about protecting the rights of staff who are trying to conceive or who are pregnant or who are breastfeeding to engage in alternative duty that doesn't require them to handle hazardous drugs.” TS 17:12 “If there's no worker safety, then who's going to take care of the patients?” TS 21:52 “What I find most rewarding is connecting with nurses, who now understand the risks of exposure and are committed to minimizing their personal exposure. When I first started speaking about safe handling, and that's going back a long way, there were a lot of nurses who were skeptical about the need for self-protection. They had been handling hazardous drugs for years and had no signs of ill effects, and so they assumed that we weren't overreacting with all of the recommendations. They saw the use of precautions and PPE as a speed bump in their busy day and also thought that was unnecessary. I rarely see that now. Nurses are concerned for their own safety and more open to protective behaviors.” TS 23:50
This documentary from Men's Health tells us that body dysmorphia is running rampant among teenage boys in America. It follows four teens who take “extreme” measures to try to match the body images they see on social media (sorta). Then, the video takes a turn into a “debate” about supplements for some reason. This doc is pretty aimless and pointless, but we had fun tearing it apart. Dean Saddoris @deansaddoris.ck chops it up with us again. Join our Discord for free at goodcompanydiscord.com!

Bryan Johnson, former head of the firm that owned Venmo (and sold it to Paypal), is obsessed with slowing down his aging process. Is there anything he won't try toward that end? Dozens of daily vitamins, nearly religious workouts, red laser masks, and even experimental gene splicing are all in play. This Netflix documentary attempts to explain his motivations and the sharp contrast between the man we see now and the person he used to be.

"If you take your normal radiation oncology experience, as we know in radiation oncology, radiations are done by the machines, you know, externally. Nurses deal with the side effects and everything like that, whereas radiopharmaceuticals are given kind of on the internal basis, they're systemic,” ONS member John Hollman, BSN, RN, OCN®, radiation nurse educator for Texas Oncology, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about caring for patients receiving radiopharmaceuticals and theranostics.

Highlights From This Episode "I think most places are now doing the seven days, just to be extra cautious and you know, can't be around any pregnant women or children, you can't just be going to Target and stuff like that right after your injection because you are radioactive, and try not to share a bathroom with your family, that can be difficult and that leads into, as we've talked about in many talks that we've had, the social situation.” TS 8:08 “It's really up to that nurse to recognize, like a good infusion nurse, to recognize the signs and symptoms of an infusion reaction and then to catch it at the earliest possible moment.” TS 11:42 “We're not really dependent on lab values between treatments, whereas the infusion you have to look at your lab values to see how much of it. These are the game changer.” TS 13:20 “You just hear the term radiation, and you just think of Chernobyl, or you think of like these worst-case, media-blown things and you think, how are you not being dosed with radiation every day? Because they don't realize that you have this whole radiation safety team that's required to be overseen, that you're doing things safely and effectively, that these nurses that are administering these therapies or these therapists that are helping with the therapy are the safest as possible.” TS 18:37 “If it wasn't safe, we wouldn't be doing it. You know what I mean? So, there is that implicit bias. I think I can foresee a lot of people trying hard to get over. And if you do have questions, anyone who's listening, and you're scared that your center is going to roll this out, please talk to your physicians, please talk to your radiation oncologist, please talk to your radiation safety officers. They can definitely assure and put your fears at rest, hopefully. And if you're still uncomfortable, then maybe that's not the role for you.” TS 19:45 “That's why the nurses really need to be educated by those radiation safety teams so they can pass those questions, or they can answer those questions, alleviate those fears on consultation—or actually during the week when we're calling in for questions.” TS 21:16 “I think getting both teams involved, if you're going to really do this partnership, I find it really rare that it's ever solely in rad onc. It's always usually a combination of both. They're always referred to us from that on or somewhere. So, you really need that partnership.” TS 23:20 “This is so great to see what the future holds with these. And like I said, now they're trying to do clinical studies for different diagnoses. So, I think it's just going to explode in the next few years about what we can use these for. It's really an exciting time to be not only in oncology, but in radiation oncology.” TS 26:54

We've still had some holiday and non-holiday travel going on, so we're dipping into the vault again for a One Good Question episode to fill the gap. FRESH 2025 EPISODE NEXT WEEK. A listener asked, “If you could start a business with zero risk, what would it be?” We had to make a call about whether this meant that you'd automatically succeed (boring) or it was with someone else's money, and there would be no financial impact to you if it failed (kind of exciting – who doesn't love OPM?). Personal service robots? High-end streetwear? Laundromats? Further, what kinds of businesses have the best (and worst) success rates?

We've got some holiday and non-holiday travel going on, so we're dipping into the vault for a couple of One Good Question episodes to fill the gap. This episode features one of our gym members who is a practicing vegan, Nick Squires, sharing some more about how he transitioned from being an ardent meat eater to being a vegan. Since this is the time of year that some people make radical diet changes, it seemed like a good idea to drop this one in the feed. Also, are GMOs bad?

We've got some holiday and non-holiday travel going on, so we're dipping into the vault for a couple of One Good Question episodes to fill the gap. A lot of people are joining gyms at this time of year. Some for the first time. Gyms can make you feel isolated…or part of a community. How do you approach other gym members to make new friends or become part of a community? Are some types of gyms better for this than others? Should you ever use the term “milady” in the gym?

Well, we had some confusion about the movie we were planning to cover on that day, a guest who couldn't make it, and an acute shortage of time. So, we punted with a quick discussion about the state of streaming services, a crazy old music video, and thoughts on handling public accusations. Next week, Lethal Weapon (and a bit of Rocky IV).Join our Discord for free at goodcompanydiscord.com!

There's a Christmas in the first Harry Potter? Yes! Three of the eight films include a bit of Christmas. This one seems to show Harry's first Christmas gifts ever. There are a ton of other firsts as well. This film set the tone for the seven films that followed and wove itself into kids' consciousness everywhere.

So, whether or not it's a Christmas movie, Die Hard definitely happens at Christmas. Is it the original action-adventure hostage film? We can't think of an earlier one.

We're heading into the holiday season, and with that always comes a couple of things: travel and holiday movies. Because of the first thing, we're diving into the second thing. We've got another “film festival” of movies set during the holiday season, but may not be considered holiday movies. First up, the second Tim Burton Batman film, “Batman Returns,” starring Micheal Keaton. Does it hold up? Was it ever good? What's the weirdest costume and the best performance?

Plastic was supposed to be inert, right? I mean, it wasn't supposed to be able to cause real problems for humans, except maybe the whole issue of disposing of them. But plastics are a lot more complicated than that, and microplastics, tiny little fragments of plastic material, are apparently everywhere. And there's not as inert as we hoped. Are they messing with our hormones? Making us fat? Squashing our test levels? This topic is really just beginning to be studied, but we talk through some of the implications. Also, CrossFit athlete Lazar Ðukić's cause of death has been revealed in the past few days and the answer may have major implications for the future of CrossFit and the Games.
