Podcasts about The Real Thing

The Gabfest's end is nigh but we've still got a few bits of culture to gab upon. This week, Steve and Dana are joined by longtime Gabfest star pinch hitter Dan Kois. First up for consideration: Pixar's Toy Story 5. In this fifth installment of the computer animation studio's flagship franchise, the threat to the vital bond between toy and child are computers themselves. Will Pixar, of all entities, save us from the threat of screentime? Maybe not. Is it nice to be back with Woody, Buzz, Jesse and the gang of plushies, dolls, and various transitional objects? Maybe so.Next, the panel drops into the indie comedy ecosystem of the streaming service Dropout TV and talks about its chaotic cult hit game show Game Changer, now in its eighth season. Does the goofy hijinks therein offer a framework for the future of TV? They discuss. Finally, supreme, very special friend of the program (SVSFOP) Wesley Morris joins to talk about the New York Times' package on the six sentences that define America and his essay in it about Nina Simone's “Mississippi Goddam.”In our bonus episode, Wesley sticks around to theorize with Steve, Dana, and Julia about the point of even having podcasts about culture.EndorsementsDana: "What Steven Spielberg Taught Me About Fear, Catharsis, and Being Human" by Wesley Morris in The New York Times as well as, maybe for the first time ever for Dana in Gabfest history, a piece of technology: the MacBook Neo.Julia: The ongoing career—after composing the Gabfest theme—of the composer Nicholas Britell including his work for the NBA and particularly the composition "Agape" on the film score of If Beale Street Could Talk. Wesley: The potato salad recipe in Pearl Bailey's cookbook Pearl's Kitchen: An Extraordinary Cookbook.Dan: Writing fan mail to authors whose work you love. Also, the music of the recently departed South African jazz pianist Abdullah Ibrahim, particularly the album Mindif.Steve: The semi-fictionalized documentary about David Hockney A Bigger Splash and Philip French's review of it for BFI.

In this conversation with Dr. Peter Gray, we unpack what may actually be driving the mental health crisis in kids—and why so many parents still feel overwhelmed trying to help.If you've ever wondered whether technology is really the problem, why your child seems more stressed than you remember being as a kid, or how modern parenting and schooling may be affecting emotional regulation, independence, and resilience… this episode will challenge a lot of assumptions in the best way. We talk about toddler and preschool behavior, autonomy, anxiety, school stress, emotional health, and what kids actually need to thrive.What You'll Learn:• Why many researchers don't believe screens are the main cause of rising anxiety in kids• The hidden ways stress, pressure, and over-structured childhoods affect behavior• Why autonomy, free play, and independence matter for emotional regulation• What overwhelmed parents can do to reduce power struggles and raise more resilient kids• How to think critically about parenting trends without fear or guiltThis channel is built around practical, evidence-based parenting that helps you understand what's happening underneath your child's behavior—not just react to it in the moment. Every episode is designed to help you stay calmer, feel more confident, and make parenting feel a little less overwhelming.If you're tired of second-guessing yourself during tantrums, meltdowns, bedtime battles, or emotional outbursts, subscribe and follow along. The goal here isn't perfect parenting—it's helping you understand your child well enough that hard moments start feeling easier to navigate.

Ever noticed how some foods are basically lying to us? Why does “grape flavour” taste NOTHING like actual grapes? Banana sweets don’t taste like bananas. Strawberry milk tastes like pink sugar.

Sermon - "The Real Thing"

5-15-26 Fri PM

The schedule gives Ted a bit of pause

DL, Evil, and Rachel dig into System of a Down's Toxicity (2001) — one of the biggest metal albums ever made, debuting at #1 the week before 9/11 and getting Chop Suey immediately pulled from radio.The central argument: Toxicity is not a nu-metal record. It's one of the most coherent political albums ever made — a sustained meditation on apathy, incarceration, the Armenian-American experience, and what happens when society stops giving a shit about each other. Prison Song, Needles, ATWA, and "somewhere between the sacred silence and sleep" hit completely different when you actually listen to what Serj Tankian is saying.Along the way: why "Chop Suey" was originally titled "Suicide" (and how the rename was pure SOAD genius), the story of Rick Rubin seeing them at the Viper Room in 1997 and immediately knowing, Daron Malakian's insistence the album fit on one side of a tape at exactly 40 minutes, the time signatures and hemiola that make Toxicity sound heavier than it should, and the direct sonic DNA connecting Faith No More's Epic piano outro to Chop Suey's ending.The influence arc: System of a Down directly cited Faith No More as a key influence — this episode is part of a two-week influence-to-influence series starting with The Real Thing.Scores: Rachel 10/10, Evil 10/10, DL 9.8/10.Part of Verse Chorus Verse's album-by-album deep dive series.System of a Down,Toxicity,Chop Suey,Serj Tankian,Daron Malakian,Rick Rubin,metal album review,Armenian rock,2001 albums,political metal,Faith No More influence,music podcast

Markets have pushed higher, but underlying risks are beginning to build as we head into the summer months. From stretched valuations and overbought technical conditions to seasonal weakness and shifting liquidity, investors may be facing a more challenging environment than recent gains suggest. Lance Roberts breaks down the key signals pointing to a potential summer sell-off, including market breadth, momentum, and the impact of earnings season winding down. We also discuss how buybacks, economic data, and Federal Reserve policy could influence the next move in stocks, and whether any pullback would represent a healthy reset or something more significant. Key topics include: 0:00 - INTRO 0:56 - Launching Month of May - Manufacturing Numbers review 4:42 - Ongoing Update on Strait of Hormuz 6:02 - Trim Risk Now 10:43 - Chat Rebuttal: Why the market doesn't care about ongoing "war..." 13:45 - Why Summer Correction Risk is Rising 15:45 - Market Breadth Continues to Deteriorate 17:33 - New York Advance/Decline Line Breadth Metric 18:32 - Market Volatility 20:21 - Summer Seasonality is a Real Thing 23:57 - Market Performance in Mid-term Election Years 25:46 - Updated Outlook for Oil Prices 28:54 - How to Navigate Markets Now 32:12 - The Robot Economy & The Minimum Wage 37:48 - The Conundrum of the K-Shaped Economy & Wealth Divide 40:43 - You CAN Be Replaced - Jobs at Risk 42:04 - What You Can Do About It 44:35 - Invest today in the companies of tomorrow Hosted by RIA Advisors Chief Investment Strategist, Lance Roberts, CIO Produced by Brent Clanton, Executive Producer ------- Do you enjoy our content?

DL, Evil, and Rachel dig into Faith No More's The Real Thing (1989) — the album that accidentally invented nu-metal, made "Epic" a cultural phenomenon, and was written entirely by a 19-year-old Mike Patton who had never met the band before.The central debate: did Epic's massive MTV success actually hurt Faith No More's legacy by making casual listeners think they were a one-hit wonder? And is The Real Thing even their best album — or does Angel Dust win that argument by a mile?Along the way: the story of how Courtney Love almost got the singer job, the Chuck Mosley firing, why Billy Gould's bass on this album is the direct ancestor of Fieldy in Korn, how "Surprise You're Dead" at the 38-second mark contains one of the best gear shifts in rock, and a deep dive into why Epic's piano outro resolves a tritone (the "devil's interval") that the main riff deliberately left open.The influence argument: System of a Down have cited Faith No More as a direct influence — and the parallels between Serj Tankian and Mike Patton, and between Daron Malakian and Jim Martin, are hard to ignore. This episode sets up next week's Toxicity deep dive.Scores: Rachel 7/10, Evil 8.5–9/10, DL 8.3/10.Part of Verse Chorus Verse's influence-to-influence album arc.Faith No More,The Real Thing,Mike Patton,Epic,alt-metal,nu-metal,1989 albums,Angel Dust,System of a Down,album review,music podcast,funk metal

For this episode we're joined by not one but two very special guests to talk about one of the great music cities. Penny Kiley is the former pop columnist for the Liverpool Echo, contributed regularly to Melody Maker and has just published the superb memoir Atypical Girl. Paul Du Noyer, meanwhile, wrote beautifully for the NME in its glory years and edited both Q and MOJO; he is also the author of 2002's exceptional Liverpool: Wondrous Place. We ask our guests about everything from the Beatles to Frankie Goes to Hollywood via Eric's, the Real Thing and the "crucial three" of Pete Wylie, Julian Cope and Ian McCulloch. We also hear riveting clips from Simon Garfield's 1999 audio interview with (Sir) Paul McCartney. After paying tribute to NME legend Keith Altham, Mark quotes from interviews with Miami soul star Betty Wright (1977) and Southern country-rocker Charlie Daniels (1979). Finally, Jasper rounds things off with his thoughts on Terris – apparently "the best new band in Britain" (2000). Many thanks to special guests Penny Kiley and Paul Du Noyer. You can find Penny's music writing on her Substack at pennykiley.substack.com; Atypical Girl is published by Polygon and available from all good bookshops.

In today's episode we talk about how crazy it is that the circus is a real thing, we draft thrillers that don't exist, Danny has been on a waffle kick lately, Zach's been rocking some new shoes, we answer questions from the breadsticks, and more!! Be sure to tune in every Monday and Thursday for new episodes!

Some days on the show just feel good from the first minute… and this was one of them. I kicked off rocking my "Attitude is Everything" mug, reminding myself—and all of you—that good energy is a choice! And on Wellness Wednesday, I'm all about finding ways for us all to feel more alive, more connected, and honestly… more joyful. And guess what? Science says I'm onto something.   The Science of Laughter (Yes, It's a Real Thing!) Came upon a story about—the science behind why we laugh. Turns out… laughter isn't just about something being funny. It's actually: A bonding signal A social connector A built-in way to reduce tension and build trust Basically… if you laugh with someone, you're already halfway to a wonderful connection. I've used humor in business my whole life. It disarms people, breaks tension, and creates connection FAST. Let's just say… if you don't have a sense of humor, we're probably not hanging out anytime soon.    My "Secret" Project Revealed: Alert Pop™ Okay… BIG moment. I finally shared something I've been working on behind the scenes for almost a year with an amazing entrepreneur and inventor with comparable energy to mine who really sparked me. We met blindly on LinkedIn over a year and a half ago when he randomly connected with me and we just clicked, and our mutually respectful and exciting 'balance of talents' partnership just took off. I will introduce you all to him personally in a moment  but first…. Meet: Alert Pop™ It's a sugar-free caffeinated lollipop (yes, you read that right) invented to help combat drowsy driving—but it's turning into so much more. It's not only a product with a purpose but it's an innovative 'better for you' energy option when you need a 'little lift' to focus that has everybody and their mother interested in it. Honestly, it's one of the most exciting products I've ever worked on. I am a Founding Partner and I sense by the non-stop inquiries and high level of interest from retailers, that this product looks like it's going to be a HUGE winner. Here's why else I'm excited: The Alert Pop™ lollipops are sugar free Each pop = about ½ cup of coffee They're made with organic green tea caffeine No jitters, no crash Three Flavors: Espresso / Blue Raspberry/ Watermelon And honestly… they taste great. My Real-life Alert Pop Moment: I was sitting in my car around dinner time in the dark, in the supermarket parking lot wrapping up a slew of emails and texts on my iPhone trying to get the energy to get out of my car - to go food shopping. I was tired and wishing I had a cup of coffee. Aha! I remembered I had Alert Pop™ samples in the car. I honestly laughed to myself sitting there, as I tore open my espresso lollipop hoping it was my solution. Sure enough, it did the trick. Up. Moving. Food shopping. Back in action. Lol   The Story Behind Alert Pop™ (This One Matters) I brought on Alert Pop™ inventor and serial entrepreneur Stephen Caldwell to introduce him to you all so together we could share the back story behind his invention. Stephen was on a family vacation with his college age daughters when one  told him about her close college pal who fell asleep at the wheel after working and studying nonstop. Totaled his car. Walked away—but it could've been very different. Horrible story that stuck with Stephen. It could have been his own daughter. Could have been him. Could have been anyone. Stephen woke up in the middle of the night on vacation and wrote down "Alert Pop™". Here's the reality: 1 in 25 drivers admits to falling asleep at the wheel Let that sink in. So, this isn't just a product—it's a purpose-driven innovation. Stephen has a background in creating and manufacturing food products, so he knew he could bring this product to life. And he did! Now almost one year later Alert Pop™ has launched. And lucky me … I'm honored to work side by side with Stephen as Founding Partner to get this amazing product out into the universe. Listen in as we both share what's been going on behind the scenes with Alert Pop™ leading up to now - and what's ahead!   Teeth, Humor & "Life Happens" Moments Because no Debbie show is complete without a little real life… I shared my ongoing dental saga (thank you, chemo side effects ), including: Test driving my "new teeth" while my dentist is on vacation Wondering if I looked like the Easter Bunny And laughing through it anyway because what else can I do? I mentioned a relevant humorous story proving I don't own the 'dental mental' market. Seems a poor gorgeous beauty pageant contestant had her veneers fell out mid-speech… …and she calmly popped them back in and kept going. THAT, my friends, is resilience with style! Gotta love her. Like I always say "Attitude is Everything!"   Get Outside—It Changes Everything One of my biggest Keeping the "Live" in Alive! habits?  Get outside. I've officially become… wait for it… a tree hugger Not kidding: Flowers pushing through the dirt Buds forming on trees Ducks back on the water It's like nature whispering: "Hey… we're back. So are you." And I posted this Italian phrase and some nature photos on my social media that really stuck with me: "Finché c'è vita, c'è speranza." Translated to English… "As long as there is life, there is hope." If you know me you know… I'm a dealer in hope .   Best Parks in America (Including One Close to my Home!) Speaking of being outside… I found out Bruce Park in Greenwich; CT is nominated as one of the Best City Parks in the U.S. USA Today is asking for entries from around the U.S. And it got me thinking about all the incredible places where people just… slow down. A few standouts: Balboa Park (San Diego) – 1,200 acres of magic Central Park (NYC) – untouched perfection in chaos Golden Gate Park (San Francisco) Little Island (NYC) – a floating park (!) There's something powerful about a place where: You're allowed to just sit  No rushing  No pressure We all need more of that.   Nigel Barker, Espresso Martinis & a Night to Remember Quick highlight from a fabulous night… I hosted a fireside chat with Nigel Barker at the Townsend Cinema a luxury 40-seat theater inside the Hyatt Regency Greenwich (yes, it's as cool as it sounds). And let me tell you: Nigel talks more than I do (I know… shocking ) His Barker Espresso Martini & Cappuccino Martini? DELICIOUS And the whole experience? Next-level Movies. Martinis. Conversation. Lovely night.   Traditions, Memories & My Mom Ridiculous Random Sweet Memory During the commercial break before the end of the show, my engineer Bob out of the blue just randomly handed me my late mother's prayer card. Said he found it in the parking lot—just before it went down a drain. Seriously? Didn't see that coming. Must have fallen out of my car in the radio station parking lot one day. Thought I would share: My mother rides with me on my car visor every day. Easter is coming… and I still haven't made her sweet pies (again )   Reminded me: We all try and carry on family holiday traditions. And 'Italian guilt' is endless.   Spring = Comeback Season Here's my theory… People who live through winter? We're built for COMEBACKS. Because when spring hits, we go: Let's bike! Let's walk! Let's clean everything! Let's try pickleball! Let's LIVE! And then… we get exhausted just thinking about it But still… The energy shift is REAL   Final Thought: Whatever Turns You On—Do More of That That's the whole point of this show. To spark you to find more: Joy Energy Curiosity Connection New things  to try (even ugar free caffeinated lollipops ) Because…  "If you've still got a pulse, you've still got a shot!" Debservations   Attitude is Everything, baby.  Hope you enjoy the podcast of the live show from the WGCH Radio Studios in Greenwich, CT.

In this episode of Becoming Relentless, I talk about the difference between the version of discipline you see on social media and the version that actually produces long-term results.Online, discipline is usually portrayed as something extreme. You see cold plunges at 5 a.m., two-hour workouts, aggressive routines, and constant messages about grinding harder. The internet tends to reward dramatic behavior because it's visually impressive and easy to package into short content. But that version of discipline is often more performative than practical.In this episode, I break down why many of those routines are unrealistic for people who have real responsibilities, careers, families, and full schedules. A lot of people end up feeling like they're not disciplined enough simply because their life doesn't look like an influencer's highlight reel.I also explain what real discipline actually looks like in practice. Most of the time, it's surprisingly boring. It's consistent meals, reasonable workouts, daily movement, and getting enough sleep. It's routines repeated thousands of times rather than bursts of intensity. Anyone who has trained seriously for bodybuilding understands this—progress rarely comes from doing something extreme once. It comes from doing the same foundational behaviors over and over again.Another idea I explore is the difference between discipline and emotional regulation. A lot of people think discipline means constantly pushing harder, but sustainable discipline requires knowing when to push, when to recover, and when to simplify. Burnout often happens when people define discipline as endless effort instead of structured consistency.Finally, I talk about why stability almost always beats intensity. Many people get stuck in a pattern of going extremely hard for two weeks, burning out, and then restarting again. Moderate routines that can be maintained for months tend to outperform those cycles of intensity every time.Real discipline isn't loud or dramatic. It's quiet, structured, and sustainable. The people who build long-term success in their health, careers, and personal lives usually aren't the most intense. They're the most consistent.If your routines tend to swing between extremes (being very strict for a short period of time and then feeling burned out) coaching can help you build structure that actually works in real life. If you want support creating a sustainable routine for your health and training, you can book a free consultation using the link in the show notes.Apply for coaching: https://form.typeform.com/to/chqUDr9g Book a FREE consult call with me: https://calendly.com/elenoa-mccabe/30min

I used to think women came to me because they couldn't stop eating. What I've learned after a decade of coaching is that most of them were never hungry for food in the first place. In this episode, I'm introducing a concept called the Friendship Gap — the space between the relationships you have and the ones that actually feed you. If you are over 40, busy, and reaching for food at the end of a long day, this episode will change the way you see your weight forever.

Buenos Aires has a way of turning a casual tango chat into a full-on philosophical detour - and that's exactly what happened when I sat down with my friend Marcelo Guttiérez.What starts as “a few questions I've been carrying around” turns into one of those conversations you'd overhear at a milonga table: a little funny, a little spicy, and full of the kind of opinions that make you pause mid-sip and go… wait, is that actually true? We talk about tango stories people repeat as fact, how “tradition” gets edited once it travels, and what gets lost (or gained) when tango becomes something you can package, teach, and sell.Marcelo came up in the Buenos Aires scene in the 90s and has been a competitor, finalist, and judge in the championship world - so he's seen tango from the floor and from the inside of the machine.If you like tango conversations that don't resolve neatly - but make you think differently the next time you walk into a milonga - this one's for you.Find Marcelo on Instagram @marcelo.gutierrez.tangoMarcelo's website: https://tangocoffeeandchocolate.com/Join my newsletter: https://unique-architect-417.kit.com/ba28095822

If you're exhausted from replaying conversations, second-guessing your choices, and filtering your personality through “what will they think?” - this episode will help.I'm joined by Jordanna Bornensztajn (comedian, communication expert, keynote speaker) to unpack the real reason so many high-functioning people feel stuck: fear of judgment.We talk about why judgment is the #1 fear she sees in workshops, why most of the “pressure” you feel is actually self-generated, and the mindset shift that instantly loosens its grip: stop making it about you. We also get into how confidence is built through messy action (not certainty), why your brain treats social risk like physical danger, and how to use embarrassment and failure as fuel instead of proof that you're “behind.”This episode will change your life by changing your relationship with judgment.Jordanna is a comedian, communication expert, keynote speaker, and public speaking coach.

Join us as we continue through 1 Timothy 1 together! There are lots of confusing and misleading messages out there, so this weekend, let's focus on rooting ourselves in the true gospel!

As winter drags on and the sun taps out at a disrespectful 4:30 p.m., Jordana asks Dr. Naomi to explain why everyone is sad, tired, and vaguely feral. After her fiancé's family vacation is derailed by her mother's nonstop questioning, a Betch spirals about what this dynamic could mean for her upcoming wedding. Dr. Naomi then offers an intention for a woman whose anxiety shows up as catastrophic thoughts about strangers who don't even know she exists. Another voicemail comes from a daughter still simmering after her father somehow forgot to mention her (and her brother) in his retirement speech, but made sure to shout out her deeply disliked stepmother. Finally, a husband sends a calendar invite to announce that his brother is “moving in,” and a Betch wants to know exactly how furious she's allowed to be. Learn more about your ad choices.

We remember guitarist, songwriter, and producer Steve Cropper, who helped create the Memphis soul sound of the ‘60s and ‘70s. He died this week at age 84. Stax Records produced soul hits by Booker T. & the M.G.s, Sam & Dave, Isaac Hayes, and more.
