Razz James should have been the toast of Manhattan society. At 28, with an Ivy League pedigree, a prominent family name, and inherent charm, he was poised for flight. But 6 years after his twin brother's death, Razz is trapped in a black hole of grief. His days are a blur of gin, video games, and denial, while his 2 lifelong best friends, Hatcher Boudreaux, a shining star at an elite hedge fund, and Archie Stonebridge, a cybersecurity expert, quietly brace for the moment Razz doesn't come back from the brink. Then, Hatcher receives a cryptic invitation…an offer to join Scepter & Scythe, an exclusive secret society. The initiation challenge is a task so daring few would ever attempt it: steal a memento from Apollo Peck, Hatcher's infamous billionaire boss. Peck's residence, a fantastical mansion perched atop New York City's poshest building, is impenetrable. Fearful of losing his job, Hatcher refuses the assignment, but Razz, intrigued and desperate for a distraction, volunteers. Razz thinks he's executed the perfect crime...then someone turns up dead. What started as a lark quickly spirals into a far more devious and deadly plot with Razz in the crosshairs. In a world where power buys innocence, and the truth is subjective, Razz must unmask the mastermind before he becomes the next pawn sacrificed on the board.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Firm parenting isn't the same as 'mean' parenting. And your child isn't “pushing your buttons” because they're broken. Sometimes the real problem is that we've never been taught a clear, repeatable way to stay calm, set firm boundaries, and teach kids how to regulate themselves. Parenting behaviorist and family advocate Nicholeen Peck joins Dr. Amy and Sandy to redefine strict parenting as self-government: living by principles, staying emotionally steady, and using skills that make conflict predictable instead of explosive.On this episode of The Brainy Moms Podcast. we dig into how Nicholeen's years of working with traumatized and neurodiverse teens shaped a home culture that felt safe enough for even the most reactive kids to calm down. She explains why firmness does not require meanness, how scripts reduce power struggles, and what it looks like to teach children to follow instructions or disagree appropriately without manipulation. We also talk about brain-based parenting, getting everyone back to the “front brain” before solving problems, and why this approach is not about stuffing emotions but about timing and clarity.Then we move into the practical foundations: building a family vision, defining family roles, and rebuilding belonging and bonding when outside influences pull kids away from home. If you're homeschooling, parenting a strong-willed child, or navigating teen resistance, you'll hear concrete ways to shift your mindset, hold boundaries with love, and invite responsibility without constant lectures.Subscribe for more smart, compassionate parenting conversations, share this with a friend who needs calmer days, and leave a review so more families can find us. What's the one moment at home where you want more self-control and less conflict?ABOUT US:The Brainy Moms is a parenting podcast hosted by cognitive psychologist Dr. Amy Moore and Sandy Zamalis.

In this returning episode of The Concussion Coach Podcast, host Bethany Lewis (The Concussion Coach) reconnects with Sharik Peck and Katyrra Larson to explore the latest developments with the Rezzimax PainTuner—an external vagus nerve stimulator that uses gentle resonance (in the frequency range of a cat's purr) to calm the nervous system. Sharik shares exciting updates, including a new Philippines-based study using the device to help breast cancer patients manage stress, pain, and GI dysfunction, as well as ongoing TMJ research in the US. The conversation dives into innovative applications of the tool: a new mouthpiece attachment for cranial nerve stimulation (helping a brain-injured patient regain speech and focus), and scraping techniques that combine vibration with myofascial release. Katyrra provides practical calming strategies for acute anxiety and startle responses (including humming with the tongue between the teeth). Sharik also shares a powerful trauma release protocol (Stress Down Regulation/Resilience program) that combines breathing, flexor engagement, and sensory input to help the brain reorganize traumatic memories—a protocol that does not require the device but is accelerated by it. The episode emphasizes nervous system regulation as the cornerstone of concussion recovery, and Bethany shares her personal enthusiasm for the tool, including a listener discount and money-back guarantee.Resources Mentioned by the GuestsRezzimax PainTuner (and the "Mini" version)Rezzimax Mouthpiece Attachment (for oral/cranial nerve stimulation)Recipes (Protocols) Library – Found on the Rezzimax website (video + written steps)Whole Body De-Stress rezzipe: https://rezzimax.com/pages/rezzipes-whole-body-destressStress Down Regulation / Resilience program (trauma release): https://rezzimax.com/pages/rezzipes-stress-down-regulationMoro reflex protocol (for startle response): https://rezzimax.com/pages/rezzipes-primitive-reflexes-moro-startle-reflexRezzimax YouTube Channel – Contains the trauma release presentation and all instructional videos https://www.youtube.com/@RezzimaxDiscussed Practitioners & Concepts:Dr. James Sheen & Dr. Edward Chauvin – protocols for addressing dormant fungi/molds/virusesDr. Sean Drake – breathwork for high-level performersAndrew Byrne – work with "singing athletes" and cranial nervesGua sha & Astym (scraping techniques enhanced with vibration)Contact & Discount Information from the ConversationRezzimax Purchase & Discount Code: https://rezzimax.com/?ref=BethanyLewis Use code BethanyLewis in the discount section for $75 offRezzimax Money-Back Guarantee: Available if you try it and don't love itPrevious Episodes Referenced: Episode 47 (Sharik alone) and Episode 76 (Sharik & Katira)RezziMax Website & Recipe Access: rezzimax.com Trauma Release Protocol Location: RezziMax website → Recipes → Emotional Clearing → "Stress Down Regulation or Resilience program"Previous episodes with Sharik peck:1.

Join us as we step into the strange Cold War world of The Chairman, a forgotten 1969 spy thriller starring Hollywood great Gregory Peck. The movie, which was partly filmed in Taiwan, is about a scientist sent behind the Bamboo Curtain to steal a miracle agricultural formula. The plot is outlandish, but behind the absurdity lies an interesting snapshot of global fears in the late 1960s, from overpopulation and famine to superpower rivalry. We follow the filming production here in Taiwan (a stand-in for off-limits communist China). This takes us to locations such as Taipei's spectacular mountainside Zhinan Temple, where Peck plays ping-pong with Mao Zedong. Yes, The Chairman was a flop – deservedly so, we think – but the film certainly makes for a fun podcast episode.

Send us Fan MailMirageSeason 17's Hacks continues with MIRAGE (1965), the latest selection from Edward Dmytryk's filmography curated by cohost Ryan phoning in from Arizona for his second of four flicks picked in this season's 4x4. And another black-and-white noirish mystery loosely adapting a novel. Dmytryk's reworking of the uncredited print material (the 1952 novel Fallen Angel) created a film that exploits the conventions of the genre to obscure the film's conceit and twist reveal, which is
In 2025 Dominique needed to take some time off over the summer. I went ahead and did a series of interviews, including one with Dr Claire St Peter and Dr Carol Pilgrim, episodes 349 to 351. We were talking about stimulus control. Those episodes aired in the fall. The episode you're about to listen to was supposed to air back in the fall as well, but somehow it fell between the cracks and we moved on with other interviews instead. Now we're airing that conversation. In Part 1 we talked about the standard instructions for teaching cues and the way that I prefer to teach them. The standard instructions make use of extinction. I prefer to teach behaviors in pairs. I make use of a very powerful reminder: for every exercise there is an opposite exercise you must teach to keep things in balance. The result is strong stimulus control. In Part 2 Dominique asked about learning what to click. When you are first starting out and you've never taught a behavior before, how do you know what to click? How do you avoid making a total mess of your stimulus control because you are clicking so many different versions of the behavior you're after. We talked about becoming a selective sifter. Even when you aren't sure what you want to click because the behavior you're teaching is new to you, you can still apply “narrow end of the funnel” thinking as you build the new behavior. In Part 3 we begin with environmental cues and pre-performance cues. Then we head into a discussion of 300 peck pigeons. Environmental cues include distractions. Distractions are often seen as something negative, something handlers try to avoid to the point that distractions become a source of anxiety for the handler. Instead distractions can be transformed into stimuli handlers can use to advance their training. Distractions led us to training for duration and that took us to a discussion of a lesson I developed for Robin when he was a youngster. I called it the 300 Hundred Peck Pigeon Lesson. Dominique wondered if 28 years on from the time I developed that lesson for Robin would I still use it? That took us to a discussion of boarding barns and the constraints we are often working under when we can't keep our horses at home. Those constraints often mean we have to become very creative to meet the mental, emotional and physical needs of our horses.
Send us Fan MailA river can look calm and still be a trap. We drop into the Solomon River valley in 1857, where the U.S. Army launches what many consider the first true campaign against the Plains Indians in this series: the Cheyenne Campaign of 1857, better known as the Battle of Solomon Fork in northwest Kansas. The stakes are bigger than a single clash. This is the collision between a mobile Cheyenne world built on buffalo hunting, raiding, and shifting boundaries and a United States determined to impose fixed lines, enforce policy, and protect overland migration routes. We walk through the pressure cooker that builds after the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1851, when rising immigrant traffic and wagon-train attacks trigger reprisals and then retaliation. With Secretary of War Jefferson Davis demanding punishment, Colonel Edwin V. “Bull” Sumner takes a stripped-down “scout in force” into Cheyenne country, leaning on speed, discipline, and a mix of units that includes 1st Cavalry, infantry support, prairie howitzers, and Indigenous scouts like Pawnee and Delaware trackers. The heart of the story comes from soldier Robert E. Peck, whose eyewitness detail turns a textbook campaign into a lived experience: night fires, exhausting trails past abandoned villages, and the moment Cheyenne warriors mount and form a bold line across the valley. Then Sumner makes the choice that defines the fight, ordering a saber charge that stuns opponents who expected a gun battle at distance. We end with the brutal intimacy of close-quarters combat and the unanswered question of what “success” even means in a frontier war built to terrify and control.

In an industry where every brand is racing for a piece of the lifestyle pie, Brooks Running has stayed remarkably obsessed with one thing: the run. But as the running community undergoes a massive cultural shift—moving from solitary miles to a booming, community-driven movement—the brand is finding itself in a new position of influence. In this episode, Mike Peck, Vice President of Creative at Brooks Running, pulls back the curtain on Brooks' "Creative Lab," and explains why he feels he has the coolest job in the business and how his team operates like a nimble agency within a global brand. We also dive into the brand's evolution, from its "Run Happy" roots to its recent high-impact campaigns and partnerships with running communities across the globe, as well as with high-profile runners, including the "superhuman" Cynthia Erivo, ahead of the Boston and London Marathons. Peck shares how Brooks balances technical performance with cultural relevance, the importance of showing up authentically (including in the social media algorithm), and why being "worthy of being cool" is all about staying true to the community that keeps them moving. campaignlive.com Music - Take you Out by Lucid Tides, courtesy of Triple Scoop.

Bird nests literally come in all shapes and sizes: burrowed into a sand bank, tucked into grass, underground, high up, stretchy, sturdy, flimsy. Even the chicks are radically different, with some leaping out of trees at a day old, and others clinging to the nest for weeks. Each species has their own unique nesting strategy - Mark Peck helps us explore how and why they work. He also shares tips on how to observe the breeding birds around us!
