Welcome back to RECESS — our bi-weekly look at what we're learning, trends we're seeing in the health and fitness space, and how we're building more play into real life.The fitness industry is facing its biggest shake-up yet, and it's coming from a syringe. In this episode of RECESS, we cover a lot of ground: from Caroline's high school graduation and a wild weekend of sports (Knicks championship! Water polo! World Cup!) to the questions keeping health and fitness professionals up at night.The centerpiece of this episode is a candid conversation about GLP-1, GLP-2, and the newly trialed GLP-3 drug Retatrutide — and what near-30% body weight loss results mean for the future of personal training, nutrition coaching, and the entire weight loss industry. Is weight loss about to become a purely medical intervention? And if so, what does that mean for coaches, trainers, and wellness brands like ours?We also take on a viral debate about AI-generated fitness influencers crowding out real coaches on social media, break down the data on whether women should skip college in the age of AI (spoiler: the numbers say no), and share our take on Backrooms, the buzzy horror film directed by a local kid who built the concept as a high schooler. If you've ever felt the existential dread of liminal spaces, this one's for you.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy Caroline Starrett's observation that "muscles are the new skinny" might be the most important trend call in fitness right nowHow GLP-3 drug Retatrutide achieved nearly 30% average body weight loss in Phase 3 trials, and what that means compared to Ozempic and ZepBoundWhat happens to the fitness industry if weight loss becomes a purely pharmaceutical interventionThe hidden dangers of GLP-1 drugs: muscle and bone mass loss, weight regain after stopping, and the return of extreme thinness cultureWhy AI-generated fitness influencers are getting millions of views while real coaches struggle for reach, and what to do about itThe data behind college ROI for women: why the gender pay gap and VC funding stats make a compelling case for staying in schoolWhy the most successful female founders (Rent the Runway, Stitch Fix, 23andMe, Tory Burch) share one thing in commonA local director's Backrooms, worth seeing even if you hate horrorKey Highlights: (00:00) Welcome back to RECESS; Caroline's high school graduation and becoming (almost) empty nesters; the "open nest" philosophy(01:50) A massive weekend of sports: Knicks championship, Stanley Cup, World Cup, water polo tournaments, and shoutouts to Cal athletes competing in European club championships(05:35) The viral Canadian coach's Instagram post: AI-generated fitness influencers vs. real coaches, the algorithm problem, and a defense of making content that's actually fun(07:45) Why real coaches deserve your engagement: the difference between AI-driven content and educators who've spent years building free resources(11:17) College ROI debate: a prominent female entrepreneur suggests skipping college; Juliet and Kelly push back with data — 65–75% higher lifetime earnings for college grads, and the gender pay gap closes with education(16:00) Female founders and elite credentials: why the women who actually break through in VC-backed startups almost universally have top-tier degrees; notable examples and one cautionary tale(18:00) Caroline's insight: "muscles are the new skinny" — when anyone can change their body composition with a GLP drug, muscle becomes the differentiator(19:29) Breaking down the GLP-3 trial results for Retatrutide: 70+ lbs average loss, nearly 30% body weight reduction, and how it compares to GLP-1 and GLP-2 drugs(20:40) How GLP drugs are splitting the fitness industry: some coaches relieved, some threatened, and the legacy weight loss brands already pivoting(22:45) The dark side: muscle and bone mass loss, Hollywood's return to extreme thinness, and what happens when people stop taking the drugs without changing their habits(27:00) The message that still matters: muscle is your longevity organ; building a body for adventure; why GLP drugs and strength training aren't mutually exclusive(27:29) Backrooms the movie: local Marin School of the Arts alum director Kane Parsons, and why this creepy-beautiful film is worth your time even if you're not a horror fan(29:10) Wrap-up and thanks for listening

Listen to today's podcast... I remember running out of the school double doors to get to the swing first. We all hated when it rained, and we had to stay indoors in the classroom reading quietly. Recess was the best part of my school day. In fact, we know from our research that school children who receive more recess time behaved better and were likely to learn more. But recess time is declining. Since the 1970s, children have lost about 12 hours per week in free time. And adults are suffering too. In our workplace we don't call it recess, we call it break time. And according to research, 1 in 4 of us barely even get up from our desk to go for a bio break, let alone get outside. There is no excitement. No energy. And almost certainly, no fun. When we don't take a break we create a stressful workplace. And when we don't restore our energy, we are setting ourselves and our companies up for higher stress, lower morale and engagement, poor creativity and employee performance issues. Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!      So Here are today's Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Recess At Work Day: Change your mindset. Breaks are a necessity, not a luxury. Workers who failed to take breaks were at a higher risk for cardiovascular disease. A recess mind-set is an opportunity to build resiliency, create team spirit, engage employees, increase morale, improve health and wellness and share some fun with those that you work with.

Doctor Who isn't actually canceled, but its Christmas special is, and we break down what the Doctor Who cancellation news really means and which studio should take the franchise next. From there it's a full geek-news roundtable: DC's villain-driven universe, the real question hanging over Supergirl's box office, a new Transformers movie, and why X-Men '97 has everyone naming the childhood cartoons that deserve the same revival treatment. Frank, Thomas, and Phil also get into the UK's plan to ban under-16s from social media, weighing mental health, parenting, and whether kids will just find the next workaround. The episode closes on a love letter to Dungeon Crawler Carl and weekly picks spanning House of the Dragon, Hacks, Spider-Noir, and Masters of the Universe. If you came for the Doctor Who news, stay for the DCU box office debate and the cartoon revival wishlist. Chapters: 00:00 Intro and Question of the Week 05:12 Is Doctor Who Really Canceled? 12:19 Only Murders Heads to Britain 15:26 DC Villains and the Box Office Test 25:03 Transformers, G.I. Joe, and Siege 31:50 The Under-16 Social Media Ban 49:51 X-Men '97 and Cartoon Revivals 1:00:37 Dungeon Crawler Carl and Picks Key Takeaways: The canceled Doctor Who Christmas special is not the end of the show, and we make the case that Prime Video could be the right new home. The bigger DC conversation is about redefining what success looks like, comparing projects to the right peers instead of measuring everything against Avengers money. Transformers Siege on Netflix gets a strong endorsement as the best Transformers property since the original. The under-16 social media debate lands on a hard truth: bans push kids toward less-regulated apps, so the conversation is less about restriction and more about mental health. X-Men '97 reopens the floodgates on cartoon revivals, from Gargoyles and Recess to deep cuts like Gummi Bears and Mummies Alive. Dungeon Crawler Carl is the runaway favorite of the episode, with dream casting and puppetry ideas ahead of the Peacock adaptation.

We've all got that mental image of medical students – the type-A perfectionists grinding through textbooks even on the porcelain throne, right? Well, our first-year medical students at Iowa are about to blow up every assumption you've ever had. The people memorizing a zillion anatomical structures aren't exactly who you'd expect. M1s Chase McInville, Lillian Schmidt, Jonah Albrecht, and Abbie Townsend reveal why your pre-med study plans are probably useless, how a hockey ref's confidence translates to patient care, and why some medical students refuse to study on Saturdays. We explore the real traits that matter (spoiler: it's not being a genius), bust the myth about cutthroat competition, and discover why medical school might actually be more collaborative than you thought.

Today we bring back a favorite to the podcast as Damien Becton returns with an homage to Recess, Dexter's Laboratory, and 00's era Cartoons with the All ages Graphic Novel Ruth Avenue Raiders vs. The Robots of Sector 7. This project is personal as Damien's Father grew up on Ruth Avenue in Akron, Ohio and his football team was the Raiders. Every character in the book symbolizes his friends that he grew with on that team. The Raiders as a collective are of the same personality as Damien puts it the 2012 Patriots. Undefeated, great talents, maybe a lil arrogant. In a great deal in need of a humbling as hey meet their match when Dre Droid and the Robots of Sector 7 make there way to the neighborhood for a challenge.Written by Damien BectionArtwork by Marina Otegui Ruiz

Love often starts as a drug. But what happens when the high wears off? In this episode, John Kim explores the difference between “drug-based love” and “medicine-based love,” and why most relationships struggle when chemistry begins to settle. He talks about projection, love addiction, emotional growth, and how real healing begins when relationships stop being a place to escape yourself and become a place to return to yourself. John also shares personal reflections on rebuilding life in Costa Rica after losing his home in Altadena, and how reinvention is shaping this new season of his life. Key points covered: • Why love feels intoxicating in the beginning • The difference between chemistry and healing • How projection shapes modern dating • “Recess love” vs mature relational work • Why repair matters more than avoiding conflict • How healthy love can rewire old patterns and fears Resources & mentions: • John discusses his new book, Love Hard on Purpose • Listeners who purchase the book get access to his private WhatsApp community If this episode resonated with you, share it with someone who's learning the difference between chemistry and healing.

Episode IntroIf you went to elementary school in the 70s, 80s or 90s, do you remember being tested by a stranger, or group of strangers? Ever get pulled out for a special class with others from different grades? Made to drink something pink? For whatever reason, right now many are remembering details of GATE programs. But who was behind these school programs? And what was their purpose? Intro to GATE MemoriesLet your mind drift back, back, back to those innocent days of youth. Picture the elementary school you attended. The teacher. Your friends. Recess. Did you play kickball? Or hopscotch? Or jump rope? Imagine your desk. Did it have that front load opening with a special well to hold your pencils? How about the pencil sharpener? Was it mounted to your teacher's desk at the front of the room? How did the classroom smell? Remember other details? Like Pirate paste that smelled like wintergreen. That ripe scent of bodies when the weather turned warm and all of your class was reassembled on the rug sitting criss-cross applesauce?I mention all this as precursor, because only you know what it felt like to live during those years. If you need to, pause this episode and write down your strongest recollections. I'm sure I missed lots. Like school lunches, did you bring your own in a sack or fancy lunchbox? Or did you turn in a paper ticket and receive a hot lunch in the cafeteria? What about the school library? Or gym? Any art projects you remember doing? And art supplies? What about those special classroom jobs? My teachers had a rotation that changed week to week. Write down what you like. Make sure your thorough because we are going deeper in a second.Did you ever have a stranger in a suit or more than one come into your classroom to observe? Did the teacher explain that they were from a college in the area? Did they bring with them an oversized case with latches and a handle, and inside was equipment that included knobs and dials? Were you sent one by one to the back of the room and told to put on large headphones that plugged into the case? Asked to identify tones? I said, inside the classroom, but I remember a trailer, one of those mobile trailers, or portables, that they needed when schools outgrew the number of neighborhood kids. Some people recall tanagrams, colorful shapes you'd manipulate to form larger shapes, like boats and such. Others remember cards, some say they were black and white, others remember colors with scenes on them. Slipped into envelopes, the tester encouraged children to visualize what was inside the envelope. Visualize. Visualize. Visualize. There were other tests, too. Weeks afterwards parents of a few kids might be notified that their child was going into the GATE program. GATE stands for Gifted and Talented Education, by the way. These programs were spun differently across the United States, but the letter home often used the word, "gifted" or "talented." Even the program itself had a different name depending on the school district. TAG, LEAP, Extended Learning Program, or in Richland, Washington - across from the Hanford Nuclear Reactor, they called their program ALPHA. These were pull-out programs that met weekly, sometimes with more than one grade combined together. And in our school, Mark Twain Elementary (because by that time I'd moved to Pasco) and those kids were bussed in from schools across the district and convened in a portable beside the basketball courts. What did they do in those GATE classes?Well, that's complicated. For many participants, the details remain hazy, at best. Some suffer memory loss about the entire program, while others in recent months, saw one of those black and white cards, or a photo of those clunky testing headphones, which rattled loose a few recollections.

We also dive into Rachel Entrekin's mindset during her historic Cocodona 250 win, Kelly's emotional experience eulogizing his mom, and the rise of “prom maxxing” — and why it gives us the ick.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy social connection may matter more than anything else for longevityHow play and movement create stronger communities and healthier adultsWhy the American Academy of Pediatrics says recess is not optionalRachel Entrekin's powerful self-talk strategy during her record-setting ultramarathonWhat Kate Courtney's career shift teaches about identity and reinventionWhy “third places” like gyms, clubs, and community spaces matter so muchJuliet and Kelly's thoughts on “prom maxxing” and modern parenting cultureWhat Kelly learned from giving the eulogy at his mother's memorialKey Highlights: (00:00) — Welcome back to RECESS(00:40) — Kelly reflects on eulogizing his mom(02:52) — Travel, burnout, and speaking at a longevity conference(04:06) — Why adults need more play and movement(05:43) — The Harvard Longitudinal Study and the importance of social connection(06:18) — The “Six Points of Connection” and building real community(10:15) — Kate Courtney, identity shifts, and elite performance(12:33) — New school recess guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics(15:23) — Why adults need recess too(17:23) — Rachel Entrekin's self-talk during her historic Cocodona 250 win(21:01) — “Happy to be here” vs. competing to win; Tia Toomey's Champion's Mindset(24:00) — Prom maxxing, parenting culture, and losing the plot(29:02) — What we're living for right now

Today's episode starts exactly where all respected broadcasting should begin: with Mini Kiss and a discussion about whether tiny rock legends drink full-size bottled water backstage. The gang recaps the absolute fever dream crossover happening in St. Louis — Chelcie Lynn on one side of town, Joe Dirt and Mini Kiss on the other — proving once again that this city runs entirely on chaos and questionable scheduling decisions.Then things somehow spiral into a full investigation of Air Supply, yacht rock confusion, and one of the weirdest transitions in show history. Which honestly feels correct for a daily comedy show held together by caffeine and emotional damage.From there, the conversation nosedives beautifully into horse fart audio analysis. Yes, really. The show attempts to identify a mysterious sound clip that turns out to be a horse relieving gastrointestinal pressure while the crew debates whether horse anatomy should legally sound like a chainsaw starting in a swamp. Educational radio at its finest.But the real emotional centerpiece of the episode is recess nostalgia. The gang breaks down everything modern kids are missing now that schools are cutting recess time: kickball politics, monkey bar injuries, freeze tag betrayal, double dutch reputations, and learning life lessons through controlled playground violence. Rafe reveals he was once an elite-level double dutch prodigy before peer pressure crushed his dreams, which honestly deserves its own documentary series.The crew also debates:Why malls are suddenly packed with teenagers againWhy malls immediately regretted letting teenagers returnWhether helicopter prom entrances are genius or criminal activityThe wildly suspicious math behind raising childrenWhy the Great Pacific Garbage Patch somehow turns into a conspiracy discussionTire swings, trash islands, playground danger, and Midwest logicIt's the kind of daily comedy show where one topic accidentally unlocks twelve childhood memories and at least three emotional scars before 7am.Whether you grew up surviving recess kickball politics, roaming malls unsupervised for six straight hours, or pretending monkey bars weren't OSHA violations, this episode feels like a weirdly comforting trip back to simpler times… just with more sarcasm and significantly worse knees.If you love funny podcasts, comedy podcasts, daily humor, weird news, nostalgic chaos, and pop culture commentary from people who absolutely should know better by now, welcome home.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/RizzShowHear 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.

Ethan and Alex kick things off with their three things, including an update on the Canvas hack, 30-minute Amazon deliveries and a man who swallowed stolen Tiffany diamonds and later pooped them out has decided to represent himself in court. Plus, the American Academy of Pediatrics says kids need more recess, not less, as childhood obesity climbs and school districts keep cutting break time. We also dig into the rise of "beta moms" who are ditching the helicopter parenting playbook in favor of date nights and dirty dishes. Then, the EU is cracking down on addictive social media design; UPD detectives are urging you to freeze your credit right amid a recent scam. A lawsuit claims ChatGPT helped plan a school shooting, while in the education world, professors return to old-school Blue Book exams, Crumbl leadership shakes up, and Dunkin's parent company files for an IPO (but do we even like the donuts?)

Next, Luis Valdes of Gun Owners of America delivers a strong Second Amendment defense, arguing against disarmament, comparing global authoritarian regimes, and emphasizing constitutional rights across the First, Fourth, and Fifth Amendments while promoting upcoming advocacy events in Iowa. The hour closes with “Kim on a Whim,” focused on new guidance from the American Academy of Pediatrics urging restored daily recess in schools, sparking a broader discussion on student discipline, classroom behavior, and whether removing recess is harming child development more than it helps academic performance.

AP correspondent Haya Panjwani reports on a new study in favor of school recess.

Welcome to the first episode of RECESS, a new, more personal series from us, Juliet and Kelly Starrett. In these shorter, looser conversations, we're pulling back the curtain on what's going on in our lives, what we're learning, what's making us laugh, and what we're thinking about across health, movement, longevity, performance, parenting, and everything in between.In this episode, we talk about Kelly's experience coaching Cal Women's Water Polo at the NCAA championship and what it's like to compete at that level. We unpack the “bronze medal mindset” and some of the biggest lessons we've learned from elite sport. We also dive into the Dean Potter documentary and reflect on our own experiences in 90s extreme sports culture. Plus, we share why we're concerned about nicotine being normalized in wellness and what stood out to us at the Stanford Healthy Aging Conference.And of course, we get into some lighter moments—including Kelly's definitely-not-a-cat-group: the Meowfia.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy we're still debating whether Kelly is in a cat groupWhat Kelly learned from coaching at the NCAA championshipHow we think about loss, silver medals, and the bronze medal mindsetWhy the Dean Potter documentary hit close to home for usWhy we're concerned about nicotine products in wellness cultureWhat stood out to us at the Stanford Healthy Aging ConferenceHow we're processing our youngest daughter's senior-year milestonesKey Highlights: 00:00 — Why we're starting RECESS01:17 — The Meowfia, taco cat, and the funny-off03:15 — Bringing fun back into health and longevity03:58 — Kelly's reflections from the NCAA women's water polo championship09:03 — Losing gold, winning silver, and the bronze medal mindset13:51 — Red Vines, fat-free diets, and 90s athlete nutrition17:24 — Dean Potter, Dark Wizard, and extreme sports culture22:45 — Nicotine pouches, health washing, and wellness influence27:34 — Our biggest takeaways from Stanford Healthy Aging29:02 — Strength training, creatine, isometrics, and old cat syndrome32:28 — Parenting, graduation, and figuring out how to cook for two 

Recess is often thought of as an “extra” activity in the school day. Sometimes it's even taken away from students as a punishment. But some schools think about recess as an integral part of the school day, where students get the opportunity to connect, practice important social and problem-solving skills they'll need for life.Others are taking it a step further and using it as a tool to help students feel more connected to their school experience, and to decrease chronic absenteeism and establish a school culture where kids feel like they belong at school. That's why I was so excited to connect with Elizabeth Cushing from Playworks.Elizabeth Cushing is CEO of Playworks, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to using the power of play to bring out the best in every child. Elizabeth joined Playworks in 2004 and was named President and COO in 2011 and CEO in 2020. She leads Playworks' Executive Team and is responsible for the organization's strategy, operations and fiscal health. During her tenure Elizabeth has played a lead role in designing Playworks' national scaling strategy including engaging national investors. Alongside founder, Jill Vialet, Elizabeth led the organization through a sustained period of growth from a San Francisco Bay Area-focus to a national organization with 14 teams across the country. As a result of strategic expansion, Playworks shares its unique brand of play and physical activity with 1,000 elementary schools reaching more than 1M children annually. For more than 30 years Elizabeth has served in leadership roles in nonprofit organizations focused on youth development, children's advocacy and women's issues. Elizabeth is a product of Oregon public schools, Stanford University and the Coro Fellows Program in Public Affairs.In this conversation, we discuss:✅ Simple ways educators can set expectations and rules to create structure and a sense of safety around recess✅ How to use play as a reset and a preventative measure, instead of something that's taken away from kids as a punishment✅ How training kids as peer coaches can help decrease disruptive behaviors and help kids discover their own leadership potentialYou can learn more about Playworks on their website at: https://www.playworks.org/Resources mentioned in this interview include:Comprehensive Game Guide that Outlines Games Across Grade Levels: https://www.playworks.org/indiana/game-guide/The sister website for Playworks with tools for assessing the health of your school's recess: https://www.recesslab.org/In this conversation, I mentioned School of Clinical Leadership, my program that helps related service providers design scalable executive functioning interventions to ensure students get the scaffolding they need across the school day.
