They discuss Drew's confusing confessional styling, Phaedra's blonde wigs, the karaoke night, Phaedra's interest in local history at Greyfriars Cemetery (including Emily's personal connection), and Porsha's passive-aggressive birthday toast to Phaedra amid questions about how close they are off-camera.This episode is sponsored by:TUSHYStay fresh and healthy where the A/C can't reach.

Mark Khavkin often finds his best ideas somewhere near the Golden Gate Bridge.The Rula CFO tells us that he bikes from San Francisco across the bridge and into Marin County—not to compete, but to clear his mind, enjoy the view, and stop for a latte in Sausalito. “A lot of times great ideas come somewhere just before or after the bridge,” Khavkin says.That preference for space and perspective also appears in how he leads. Compared with a decade ago, Khavkin says that he has become more comfortable trusting people to reach the right result, even when their path differs from the one he might have chosen. Rather than intervening with detailed instructions, he now tries to provide context. “I'm less prescriptive than I was ten years ago,” he tells us.The shift does not mean avoiding hard decisions. At Rula, Khavkin says that new investments require clearly defined checkpoints and agreement—made in advance—about when the company will increase its commitment or stop an initiative. Once teams, careers, and expectations form around an experiment, he explains, ending it becomes difficult at a human level.The same discipline shapes his view of AI. Khavkin cautions finance leaders against evaluating the technology primarily through cost savings. According to Khavkin, the greater opportunity is enabling people to perform higher-level work, make decisions faster, and access more organizational context.For Khavkin, leadership is not about directing every turn. It is about creating the conditions for others to navigate—then knowing when to provide context, when to challenge assumptions, and when to let the road produce the answer.
Can simply believing a treatment will work actually help it work better? Surprisingly, yes. Researchers have found that your expectations can have a powerful effect on how your body responds to medication—even when the treatment itself hasn't changed. https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/conditionsandtreatments/placebo-effect Most of us think of politeness as little more than saying "please" and "thank you." But good manners do much more than make social interactions pleasant. They help build trust, strengthen relationships, reduce conflict, and even influence how people judge our competence and character. So why are some people naturally more polite than others? Do the rules of politeness change depending on where you are or who you're talking to? And can you be blunt—or even rude—and still earn people's respect? Louise Mullany has spent more than 25 years studying the science of politeness. She is Professor of Sociolinguistics at the University of Nottingham and author of Polite: The Art of Communication at Home, at Work and in Public (https://amzn.to/3xVN9Jo). You can outsource your résumé, polish your LinkedIn profile, and even use AI to help write a cover letter. But when it's time for the interview, it's all on you. Too many candidates hope they'll "just answer the questions," only to discover they weren't nearly as prepared as they thought. Sam Owens explains what hiring managers are really looking for, the mistakes that immediately hurt your chances, and how a little preparation can dramatically improve your performance—whether you're interviewing in person or over Zoom. Sam is founder of Sam's Career Talk (https://www.samscareertalk.com/) and author of I Hate Job Interviews: Stop Stressing. Start Performing. Get the Job You Want (https://amzn.to/4f7xJSX). MSG has had a bad reputation for decades. Many people avoid it because they believe it's unhealthy or causes unpleasant reactions. But where did that belief come from?

Have you ever pushed on a door that was supposed to be pulled—or pulled when you should have pushed? It feels embarrassing, but don't blame yourself. It turns out the problem usually isn't you. It's the door. https://uxdesign.cc/intro-to-ux-the-norman-door-61f8120b6086 Everyone has an accent—even if they don't think they do. The way you speak tells a story about where you've been, who influenced you, and sometimes even how other people perceive you before you've said more than a few words. Why do accents develop? Why are they so difficult to lose? And do people with accents realize they have one, or do they think everyone else sounds different? Erik Singer, one of Hollywood's leading dialect coaches, explains the fascinating science, history, and psychology behind the way we speak. He has analyzed accents from around the world for millions of viewers online (https://www.eriksinger.com/) and is author of the forthcoming book The Case of the Disappearing R. We all replay conversations in our heads. We rethink decisions, relive embarrassing moments, and imagine what we should have said or done differently. It feels productive—as if we're solving a problem. But more often than not, we're simply trapped in a mental loop called rumination. Far from helping, rumination can fuel anxiety, depression, stress, and self-doubt while making it harder to move forward. Science journalist Donna Jackson Nakazawa explains why our brains get caught in these loops, why they're so difficult to break, and what actually works to quiet an overactive mind. She is author of Mind Drama: The Science of Rumination and How to Outwit Your Inner Defeatist (https://amzn.to/4vKWiNs). You've probably heard the advice that couples who want happier relationships should simply have sex more often. It sounds logical—but research suggests the relationship between sex and happiness may work very differently than most people assume. https://www.cmu.edu/news/stories/archives/2015/may/more-sex-does-not-lead-to-happiness.html PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS WAYFAIR: Ready to upgrade your home for way less?

What does it really mean to be successful? Most people would probably say it's about making more money, climbing the career ladder, earning recognition, or becoming well known. But what if we've been measuring success all wrong? After spending years traveling the country as host of Dirty Jobs, Mike Rowe met thousands of people whose work is essential but rarely celebrated. Welders, plumbers, linemen, mechanics, farmers, and countless others showed him that fulfillment, purpose, and success often have very little to do with prestige—and a lot to do with attitude, craftsmanship, and showing up when it matters. In this fascinating conversation, Mike challenges many of the assumptions we've come to accept about work, education, persistence, efficiency, and what it really takes to build a satisfying life. Even if you don't agree with all of his conclusions, his perspective is thoughtful, refreshing, and guaranteed to make you reconsider some deeply held beliefs. Mike Rowe is creator and longtime host of Dirty Jobs, founder of the mikeroweWORKS Foundation (www.mikeroweworks.com), host of the podcast The Way I Heard It (https://mikerowe.com/podcast/), and author of the bestselling book The Way I Heard It (https://amzn.to/34Dikog).

Need a favor? The way you ask may matter as much as what you're asking for. Researchers have found that a few simple changes in how you make a request can dramatically increase the chances someone will say yes—and most people overlook them completely. https://www.gsb.stanford.edu/insights/francis-flynn-if-you-want-something-ask-it Going to therapy has become more common—and more socially accepted—than ever before. For many people, it has been life-changing. At the same time, anxiety, depression, and loneliness continue to rise, prompting an important question: Are we asking therapy to solve problems it was never designed to solve? Should everyone have a therapist, even if nothing is seriously wrong? Where is the line between normal struggles and issues that truly require professional treatment? In this thoughtful conversation, therapist Jonathan Alpert explores who benefits most from therapy, where it can fall short, and why resilience, personal responsibility, and strong relationships still play an essential role in emotional wellbeing. Jonathan has spent more than two decades treating patients and is author of Therapy Nation: How America Got Hooked on Therapy and Why It's Left Us More Anxious and Divided (https://amzn.to/4xMXS2I). Birds are so common that it's easy to stop noticing them. Yet they are among the most extraordinary creatures on Earth. Every feather is a masterpiece of engineering. Their bones are optimized for flight. Some navigate across continents with astonishing accuracy, others build intricate nests without blueprints, and many possess abilities that scientists are still trying to understand. Even more remarkable, every bird alive today is a living descendant of the dinosaurs. Lorna Gibson, Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at MIT and lifelong bird enthusiast, reveals the hidden science behind feathers, flight, migration, and the incredible adaptations that make birds some of nature's greatest engineering achievements. She is author of Birds Up Close: An Engineer Explores Their Hidden Wonders (https://amzn.to/4eOiE9C). The next time you open a bag of potato chips, pay attention to the sound it makes.

Have you ever forgotten a phone number, birthday, or why you walked into a room because you knew your phone would remember it for you? Many people joke about "digital dementia." While it isn't a real medical diagnosis, researchers are becoming increasingly concerned that our growing dependence on technology may be changing how we remember, think, and solve problems. https://www.neurocenternj.com/blog/digital-dementia-how-screens-and-digital-devices-impact-memory/ Most of us pay attention to our physical health and, increasingly, our mental health. But what about our social health? Research suggests the quality of your relationships may have a profound impact on your happiness, resilience, and even how long you live. Yet many people today have fewer close connections than ever before. Kasley Killam explains why social health matters so much and how to build stronger, more meaningful relationships. She has advised organizations including Google, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and the World Economic Forum, and is author of The Art and Science of Connection: Why Our Social Health Is the Key to Living Longer, Healthier, and Happier (https://amzn.to/4cynFRi). Where do great ideas come from? Is imagination something you're born with, or can you actually develop it? According to Albert Read, imagination is more like a muscle than a mysterious gift—it grows stronger the more you understand and use it. In this conversation, he explains how creativity works, why ideas sometimes seem to appear out of nowhere, and how anyone can become more imaginative. Albert is Managing Director of Condé Nast Britain and author of The Imagination Muscle: Where Good Ideas Come From (https://amzn.to/4cw9xrw). Sending flowers to someone who is sick or recovering from surgery seems like a thoughtful gesture. But can flowers actually help someone heal?

They break down the season's “micro drama” montage of Vicki and Tamra's feud history, the news and confusion around Jen Pedranti's son and the Ladera Ranch fire, and the 20-years-of-RHOC intro featuring Vicki and Shannon in Mexico, including their antics and a controversial “poor people” remark. They touch on cast updates and dynamics: Tamra vs. Shannon, Emily's glow-up, Jen and Emily's improved relationship, Heather's money accusations and tense scenes with her mother, Gina's surprise engagement and “prototype” ring, Tamra's daughter Sophia staying local and their new podcast, and the introduction of Jen's friend Carmella plus anticipated cameos from RHOC originals.RULAStart your mental wellness journey today with Rula, visit: https://www.rula.com/drama/CASH APPDownload Cash App Today: https://click.cash.app/ui6m/rw17ojho #CashAppPod.

Content warning: bullying, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, systemic abuse, systemic betrayal, self-harm, and suicidal ideation.Mary Cain is an author, athlete, and non-profit board member that was once hailed as one of the greatest young running talents in the world. But behind her success was a much more complicated story involving the pressures of elite competition, her experience inside the Nike Oregon Project, and the challenges she faced as she tried to find her voice. In the years that followed, and through civil legal accountability, Mary transformed from an athlete into an author and advocate examining the culture of sports and the treatment of young athletes. In this episode, Mary reflects on her journey, the highs and lows of her running career, and all that came next in this new chapter beyond the track. The Broken Cycle Media team is extremely grateful for Mary's advocacy, energy, and willingness to share with our community.Follow & Support Mary:- Mary's Instagram: http:www.instagram.com/runmarycain - Mary's Book, This is Not About Running: https://www.harpercollins.com/products/this-is-not-about-running-mary-cain?variant=43897601589282- The Athlete Survivors' Assist: https://theathletesurvivorsassist.org/ Sources: Associated Press. “Track Coach Alberto Salazar Gets Four-Year Doping Ban.” Sports Illustrated, 1 Oct. 2019, https://www.si.com/olympics/2019/10/01/track-coach-alberto-salazar-gets-four-year-doping-banCain, Mary. “I Was the Fastest Girl in America, Until I Joined Nike.” The New York Times, Opinion Video, 7 Nov. 2019, https://www.nytimes.com/video/opinion/100000006788354/nike-running-mary-cain.htmlEpstein, David. “World's Most Famous Track Coach Is Banned for 4 Years for Doping Violations.” ProPublica, 1 Oct. 2019, https://www.propublica.org/article/alberto-salazar-worlds-most-famous-track-coach-is-banned-for-4-years-for-doping-violationsMaese, Rick, and Adam Kilgore. “Alberto Salazar, Track Coach Who Trained Olympians, Banned 4 Years by U.S. Anti-Doping Agency.” The New York Times, 30 Sept. 2019, https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/30/sports/alberto-salazar-doping-ban.htmlFor a list of additional resources and non-profit organizations that can help, please visit http://www.somethingwaswrong.com/resources And don't forget that Rula patients typically pay $15 per session when using insurance.

Many ballpoint pens have a particular design feature intended to save your life – if necessary. It's one of those clever features most people never notice and hopefully never have to use yet millions of pens contain it. https://www.iflscience.com/theres-a-surprising-reason-why-pen-caps-have-holes-in-them-47723/ Most of us instinctively know that spending time outdoors feels good. A walk in the park, sitting on a patio, hiking a trail, or simply being outside seems to improve our mood. But scientists are discovering that the benefits go much deeper than just "feeling better." Modern humans spend the vast majority of their lives indoors, surrounded by artificial light, recycled air, screens, and environments our bodies were never designed for. What happens when we step outside—even for a few minutes—can have powerful effects on our brain, sleep, immune system, stress levels, and overall health. Dr. John LaPuma, a board-certified internist and author of Indoor Epidemic (https://amzn.to/4epGmtL), explains why being outdoors may be one of the most underappreciated health tools available—and why as little as 17 minutes can make a measurable difference. The alphabet is one of the first things we learn as children, yet most of us never stop to wonder where it came from. Why is A the first letter? Why does Q almost always need a U? Why does C make different sounds in different words? Who decided these rules, and why have we kept them? As it turns out, our alphabet is the product of thousands of years of evolution, accidents, adaptations, and surprising historical twists. Danny Bate, linguist, broadcaster, and author of Why Q Needs U (https://amzn.to/3QZcJ9F), takes us on a fascinating journey through the hidden history of the letters we use every day and reveals why the alphabet is far stranger than it appears. When it comes to attraction, many men assume women are primarily looking for physical traits like height, muscularity, or six-pack abs. The research tells a more interesting story. Some of the characteristics women consistently find most attractive aren't necessarily the ones most men spend their time worrying about. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10480979/ PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS WAYFAIR: Ready to upgrade your home for way less?

Drama, Darling, host Amy Phillips and co-host Emily Dorezas welcome true-crime producers and investigators Nancy Moscatiello and Scott Eldridge, creators of the podcast The Slippery, to discuss long-game scam stories and how they unravel. They share their tabloid-TV roots at Hard Copy and Crime Watch Daily, old-school reporting tactics, and how modern information overload and competition affect investigations. They give updates on Scamanda, including Amanda's divorce, parole, and a newly obtained healthcare NPI number that concerns Nancy. They explain how projects are packaged and sold, why Scamanda needed a podcast to become IP, and what traits define scammers. They preview upcoming Slippery episodes on Jen Shah, a fake CIA officer, and a new multi-part cancer scam series planned for the fall.Links to Nancy and Scott's true crime podcast “The Slippery”https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-slippery/id1891413273https://open.spotify.com/show/6SlYMiON4afxVs6ue52Bqkhttps://www.youtube.com/@TheSlipperyRULAStart your mental wellness journey today with Rula, visit: https://www.rula.com/drama/CASH APPDownload Cash App Today: https://click.cash.app/ui6m/rw17ojho #CashAppPod.

Amy Phillips and guest Emily Dorezas recap Below Deck Med and McBee Dynasty. They react to “jizz-gate,” where Luke and Jen hook up in Nathan's bed and leave bodily fluids on the sheets, questioning laundry logistics and whether production had a responsibility to warn Nathan, while criticizing Luke's behavior and confusion with Jen and praising Chef Joy and a strong crew dynamic. They also discuss the Croatia/Game of Thrones tour, Sandy's obliviousness, Cooper's stage jump and his sweet date with Kat, and Nathan and Joe squashing their beef. On McBee Dynasty, they cover Galyna's calmer conversation with Brooke versus her explosive standoff with Masha, Cole's Watch What Happens Live comments, Allie and Jesse's tense date night and Amy's attempt to reach out to Jesse, and Cole and Kacie's emotional engagement.This episode is sponsored by:RULAStart your mental wellness journey today with Rula, visit:https://www.rula.com/drama/CASH APPDownload Cash App Today: https://click.cash.app/ui6m/rw17ojho #CashAppPod.

On today's solo episode, I'm continuing the 2026 Future You Project series by sharing why now is the perfect time to revisit your New Year's resolutions and reset your goals for the rest of the year. We dive into how to evaluate whether your goals still align with the life you want to create, let go of the ones that no longer serve you without guilt, and build systems that make achieving your biggest goals feel attainable. I also share my framework for breaking big goals into manageable steps, staying consistent through monthly check-ins, and creating habits that actually stick by making them more enjoyable. If you're ready for a mid-year reset and want to finish 2026 stronger than you started it, this episode is for you.

On today's episode, we welcome Erica Small, Co-Founder of Yes Way Rosé — a brand that proves some of the best consumer companies don't start with a product. They start with a point of view. What began as a social media movement between two lifelong friends became one of the leading rosé brands in the U.S., with more than 13 million bottles sold and nationwide distribution. Not bad for two founders who didn't come from the wine industry and decided to challenge a category that often takes itself far too seriously. In this episode, Erica shares how she and her co-founder built a community before they ever sold a bottle of wine, why being outsiders became their biggest advantage, and what it took to break through in a crowded category filled with legacy brands and celebrity labels. We also discuss the evolution of Yes Way Rosé from their “party era” to their “mom era,” the launch of their new non-alcoholic rosé, and why consumer behavior around drinking is changing faster than many people realize. This is a conversation about brand-building, storytelling, community, and knowing when to evolve without losing what made people fall in love with your brand in the first place. This is a must listen. You can find the interview here or anywhere you listen to podcasts
Can you train yourself to become a night owl—or an early bird? Millions of people try. They force themselves to stay up later, wake up earlier, or work overnight because that's what life demands. But can your body really adapt? Or is there a biological clock inside you that simply refuses to cooperate? Scientists now know that your circadian rhythm governs much more than when you feel sleepy. It helps regulate your energy, mood, memory, metabolism, immune system, hormones, and even your risk for a surprising number of chronic diseases. When that internal clock falls out of sync with the schedule you keep, the consequences can range from feeling groggy and unfocused to serious long-term health problems. So how much control do you really have over your body clock? Why do some people naturally spring out of bed at dawn while others come alive after dark? What actually happens when you regularly ignore your body's signals? And what are the simple changes that can help you work with your circadian rhythm instead of constantly fighting it? Russell Foster joins me to explain the remarkable science of the body's internal clock and why understanding it may be one of the most important—and overlooked—keys to better sleep, better health, and better performance. Russell is Professor of Circadian Neuroscience and Director of the Sleep and Circadian Neuroscience Institute at the University of Oxford. He is author of Life Time: Your Body Clock and Its Essential Roles in Good Health and Sleep (https://amzn.to/3QQGZ6v). Whether you think of yourself as an early bird, a night owl, or somewhere in between, this conversation may completely change the way you think about sleep—and about time itself.

People often assume that someone with brown eyes appears more trustworthy than someone with blue eyes. Research suggests there may be something to that belief—but not for the reason most people think. In fact, eye color may have very little to do with it. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3541379/ Pain seems simple. You get hurt, you feel pain. Problem solved. Except it isn't that simple at all. Why can two people experience the same injury yet report very different levels of pain? How can amputees feel excruciating pain in a limb that no longer exists? Scientists now understand that pain is not merely a signal sent from the body to the brain. Instead, pain is a complex experience shaped by biology, psychology, memory, expectations, emotions, and environment. Dr. Rachel Zoffness, a leading pain expert on the faculty at UCSF School of Medicine, joins me to explain what modern science has discovered about pain, why many traditional assumptions about it are wrong, and how understanding pain differently may help people suffer less. She is author of Tell Me Where It Hurts: The New Science of Pain and How to Heal (https://amzn.to/4afunMR). Life has become incredibly convenient. We no longer unfold paper maps, collect ticket stubs, browse record stores, save newspaper clippings, or carry around many of the physical objects that once filled everyday life. Digital technology has made countless tasks faster and easier—but has something been lost along the way? Ian Bogost believes the answer is yes. He argues that many of the small physical experiences we've eliminated weren't just clutter or inefficiency. They added texture, meaning, memory, and satisfaction to life. In our conversation, he explains how the disappearance of these seemingly insignificant things may be quietly changing our relationship with the world and what we can do to reclaim some of what we've lost. Ian is a staff writer at The Atlantic and author of The Small Stuff: How to Lead a More Gratifying Life (https://amzn.to/3SDVFXf). You've probably heard the travel hack: search for airline tickets too many times and the price will go up. That's why some people clear their browser history, use incognito mode, or switch devices before booking a flight. But does any of that actually work?

The lottery is one of the few games where everyone knows the odds are terrible—and millions of people play anyway. Why? It turns out there are some fascinating psychological reasons people buy lottery tickets, along with a few surprising facts about the odds and strategies that most players never consider. https://www.wired.com/video/watch/lottery-strategy When Uber launched, many people thought the idea was ridiculous. Let strangers drive you around in their personal cars? Airbnb faced similar skepticism. Why would anyone stay in a stranger's house? Yet these companies went on to reshape entire industries. The same is true of Twitter, Twitch, and many other breakthrough businesses. What separates ideas that change the world from ideas that never get off the ground? According to venture capitalist Mike Maples Jr., truly transformative companies don't succeed by being slightly better than the competition—they succeed by seeing the world differently. In this conversation, Mike explains the patterns behind history's most disruptive startups, why the best ideas often sound wrong at first, and what it takes to build something that changes the future. Mike is co-founder of Floodgate, one of Silicon Valley's premier seed-stage investment firms, host of the podcast Starting Greatness (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/starting-greatness/id1488560647), and author of Pattern Breakers: Why Some Start-Ups Change the Future (https://amzn.to/3W8BXlT). Black holes may be the most mysterious objects in the universe. Their gravity is so powerful that not even light can escape. Yet despite their reputation as cosmic vacuum cleaners, black holes do much more than simply swallow things. In fact, astronomers now believe that the giant black hole at the center of our galaxy may have played a critical role in making life on Earth possible. How can something so destructive also be so important? Why does nearly every galaxy appear to have a supermassive black hole at its center? And what have scientists learned recently that is forcing them to rethink these extraordinary objects? Marcus Chown, former radio astronomer at Caltech and author of A Crack in Everything: How Black Holes Came in from the Cold and Took Cosmic Centre Stage (https://amzn.to/3W9cFUE), takes us on a fascinating tour of one of the strangest and most important discoveries in modern science. Most people rely on sunscreen as their primary defense against skin cancer—and for good reason. Yet skin cancer rates continue to rise. Researchers are increasingly discovering that sun protection may involve more than what you put on your skin. Emerging evidence suggests that what you put on your plate could also influence how your skin responds to the sun. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/08/well/eat/diet-skin-cancer-risk-melanoma.html PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS AIR DOCTOR: Head to https://AirDoctorPro.com and use promo code SYSK to get $250 off select AirDoctor air purifiers, including the 3500, 4000, and 5500 models.

Nothing can ruin a meal faster than someone loudly slurping soup, coffee, or noodles. At least that's what many people think. Yet in some cultures, slurping isn't rude at all—it's expected. And as annoying as it may sound, there is actually a surprisingly good reason people do it. https://www.discovermagazine.com/its-not-rude-slurping-makes-food-taste-better-42739 Your beliefs do far more than influence how you see the world—they influence what happens next. The beliefs you hold about yourself, your abilities, other people, and the future affect the opportunities you notice, the risks you're willing to take, and even how successful you're likely to become. The remarkable thing is that many of our most important beliefs operate in the background, quietly steering our decisions without us even realizing it. Shawn Achor, one of the world's leading experts on mindset, happiness, and human potential, explains how beliefs shape our lives, where those beliefs come from, and how changing them can dramatically alter your path. Shawn's TED Talk has been viewed more than 25 million times, and he is author of The Power of Beliefs (https://amzn.to/4a1eR7m). Shawn's TED Talk: https://www.ted.com/talks/shawn_achor_the_happy_secret_to_better_work When people talk about helping the environment, the conversation often sounds like a list of things you have to give up: drive less, fly less, consume less, turn down the thermostat, and generally make life a little less enjoyable. But what if that approach is backward? What if some of the best things you can do for the planet also happen to make you happier? Psychologist Elizabeth Dunn offers a refreshing alternative to guilt, sacrifice, and doom-and-gloom messaging. Elizabeth's work has appeared in major media outlets around the world, and she is co-author of Leave the Lights On: How Joyful Decisions Can Save Our Species (https://amzn.to/4oyXl09). Elizabeth's TED Talk: https://www.ted.com/talks/elizabeth_dunn_helping_others_makes_us_happier_but_it_matters_how_we_do_it The English language is alive. Words and phrases that were once considered incorrect, awkward, or even ridiculous can become perfectly acceptable over time. In fact, some expressions we use every day would have made earlier generations cringe. The evolution of language offers a fascinating look at how culture changes—and how today's "mistakes" sometimes become tomorrow's rules. https://time.com/4293303/garner-common-words-mistakes/ PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS AIR DOCTOR: Head to https://AirDoctorPro.com and use promo code SYSK to get $250 off select AirDoctor air purifiers, including the 3500, 4000, and 5500 models.

Amy Phillips and Emily Dprezas recap the second and final Real Housewives of Rhode Island reunion, focusing on Brian's alleged affair and shifting explanations (including an NDA), Jo-ellen's receipts, and Rula's shock as new details emerge, with speculation that Rula is staying for the kids and planning an eventual exit. They debate whether Rulla is unfairly blaming Joellen, discuss Rosie's missing “suitcase” of receipts and her job/medical-leave emails, and criticize Kelsey's attacks on Rosie while questioning Kelsey's escort-page story and confusing open-relationship “agreement” with another woman. They also break down Alicia's growing resentment toward Billy, his push to formalize her 50% stake in Pizza Mama, and her larger trigger around not being on the house. The hosts note Liz's relative silence, reunion wrap-up regrets, and the men's reactions to Brian.HERS puts your health and goals first. forhers.com/dramaHONEYLOVE Get 20% OFF Honeylove by going to https://www.honeylove.com/DRAMA Promo Code: DRAMATo watch this recap on video, listen to bonus episodes, get ad free listening, and exclusive content, go to: http://Patreon.com/dramadarlingFor more Drama, Darling, and exclusive content, subscribe to: http://Patreon.com/dramadarling Follow Amy Phillips on Instagram: Instagram.com/meetamyphillips Follow Drama, Darling on Instagram: Instagram.com/dramadarlingshow Amy on TikTok tiktok.com/@realamyphillips Email Drama, Darling with YOUR comments, questions and drama: DramaDarlingz@gmail.com Drama Darling Shop https://drama-darling-shop.printify.me/
With all of the recent excitement surrounding the NBA & Stanley Cup finals and the World Cup you might wonder why do millions of people spend hours every week watching sports? Most people think of it as entertainment, a way to relax or pass the time. But what if watching sports is actually doing something good for your mind, your emotions, and even your health? That's why today's SYSK Trending topic is A lot of people look at sports fans and wonder what all the fuss is about. Why invest so much time and emotion in a team you don't play for and have no control over? Why let a win make your day or a loss ruin your mood? It turns out there may be a lot more going on than simple entertainment. Researchers have discovered that being a sports fan can provide surprising benefits for your physical health, mental wellbeing, and social life. Following a team can create a sense of belonging, strengthen social connections, reduce feelings of loneliness, and even help people cope with stress and adversity. In some cases, the benefits are remarkably similar to those that come from being part of a close-knit community. Sports fandom also gives people something increasingly rare in modern life: a shared experience. In a world where entertainment, news, and social media are highly personalized, millions of people still gather around the same games, celebrate the same victories, and suffer through the same defeats together. Larry Olmsted joins me to explain why sports fans may be happier, healthier, and more connected than non-fans. We discuss the science behind fandom, why rooting for a team can be good for your emotional health, how sports help build relationships, and why being a fan is about much more than the final score. Larry is a journalist and author of Fans: How Watching Sports Makes Us Happier, Healthier and More Understanding (https://amzn.to/2T6YUs1). Whether you're a die-hard fan, a casual observer, or someone who has never understood sports at all, this conversation may change the way you think about what it means to be a fan.

Ever notice when you hear someone talking on the phone nearby it's hard not to listen? You are only hearing one-side of the conversation and that can drive your brain crazy. It's not just annoying and distracting it can actually be dangerous. https://now.uiowa.edu/news/2017/06/ui-study-explores-why-cell-phone-use-leads-distracted-driving It's hard to imagine life without GPS. But now it has become so woven into daily life that most of us never think about it. We use it to navigate, order food, track packages, find rides, locate our phones and even synchronize financial transactions. Yet GPS wasn't created for that. It began as a military technology and evolved into one of the most important—and expensive—infrastructure systems ever built. How does GPS actually know where you are? Why is it free to use? Who pays for it? Is it spying on you? Here to explain is Katherine Dunn, business reporter, editor and author of the book Little Blue Dot: How GPS Shaped the Modern World (https://amzn.to/4uvtk2M). Why is it that millions of people experience chronic pain, fatigue, digestive problems and other ailments that doctors and medical tests often fail to explain? Too often they're told "it's all in your head." But according to psychiatrist Susan Trachman, that phrase badly misunderstands what's happening. The connection between the brain and body is far more powerful than most people realize. Thoughts, emotions and stress can trigger genuine physical symptoms—and understanding how can be the key to finding relief. Susan has spent more than 30 years treating medically unexplained illnesses. She is author of the popular Psychology Today blog and the book It's Not Just in Your Head. (https://amzn.to/4oqvjDP) Listen to a tennis match or walk through a gym and you'll hear it everywhere: grunting. Sometimes really loud grunting. It seems odd. Maybe even unnecessary.

A great burger looks simple—but barbecue experts know there is a surprising amount of science and technique behind getting it just right. From choosing the meat to handling the patties to what happens on the grill, a few small mistakes can mean the difference between a memorable burger and a disappointing one. Source: Steve Raichlen, author of The Barbecue Bible (https://amzn.to/4bgBEcM) Life has a way of speeding up. One day you're making plans for someday, and before you know it, months or years have gone by. That's why so many people eventually find themselves wondering: Did I spend my time on the things that really mattered? According to Jodi Wellman, avoiding regret isn't about quitting your job, moving to a tropical island, or making dramatic life changes. Instead, it comes from being intentional about how you spend your days and paying attention to the experiences, relationships, and opportunities that give life meaning. In this conversation, she shares a refreshing perspective on how to stop living on autopilot, make the most of the time you have, and create a life you'll look back on with satisfaction rather than regret. Jodi is a former corporate executive, executive coach, and author of You Only Die Once: How to Make It to the End with No Regrets (https://amzn.to/3KUdQ3Z).

They can shock, offend, amuse, bond people together, relieve pain, and communicate emotion in ways ordinary words often can't. But where do these words come from? Why are some words considered offensive while others are perfectly acceptable? And why does every generation seem to have a different idea about what language is inappropriate?

Why do mosquitoes seem to love some people and completely ignore others? It isn't your imagination. Researchers have identified several factors that make certain people especially attractive to mosquitoes—and some of them are things you have little control over. https://theweek.com/articles/462191/5-things-that-make-irresistible-mosquitoes Most of us believe we make rational decisions when we shop. But behavioral scientists have discovered that many purchasing decisions are influenced by factors we barely notice. The way a product is described, where it is placed, how many alternatives are offered, what price is shown first, and even seemingly irrelevant details can dramatically affect what we buy. Richard Shotton has spent years studying the hidden psychological forces that shape consumer behavior. In this conversation, he explains why our choices are often less objective than we think, how marketers use these insights to influence us, and what you can do to become a smarter consumer. Richard is a behavioral scientist and author of The Illusion of Choice: 16½ Psychological Biases That Influence What We Buy (https://amzn.to/3q2Vne9). Ice seems so ordinary that it's easy to forget what a miracle it once was. Today, ice is available instantly at the push of a button. But not that long ago, obtaining ice was a massive undertaking involving dangerous harvests, international shipping routes, fortunes made and lost, and an industry that helped reshape the modern world. In fact, long before electric refrigeration existed, people were cutting huge blocks of ice from frozen lakes and transporting them thousands of miles. How did this unlikely commodity transform the way we eat, drink, preserve food, and live? Amy Brady, executive director of Orion magazine and author of Ice: From Mixed Drinks to Skating Rinks—A Cool History of a Hot Commodity (https://amzn.to/3MKX7Rc), reveals the remarkable story behind something most of us never think twice about. Finding a green potato chip in the bag can be a little unsettling. Is it safe to eat? And what about those unusually dark brown chips that occasionally show up?

Have you ever bought something because it was "almost sold out" or because a sale was ending at midnight? If so, you're not alone. Scarcity is one of the most powerful forces influencing human behavior. When something becomes difficult to get, we often value it more—even if we weren't interested in it before. Marketers know this. That's why you'll see messages like "Only 3 left in stock," "Limited-time offer," or "Sale ends tonight." Sometimes those claims reflect genuine scarcity. Other times, they are carefully designed to create urgency and push you toward a decision. In this episode, we explore why scarcity is so effective, how it taps into fundamental human psychology, and the many ways businesses use it to influence what you buy. Joining me is Mindy Weinstein, a marketing instructor at Grand Canyon University and the University of Denver, as well as a program leader for The Wharton School and Columbia Business School. She is also author of the book The Power of Scarcity: Leveraging Urgency and Demand to Influence Customer Decisions (https://amzn.to/3QizF3u). What you'll discover: Why scarce products and opportunities instantly become more attractive. The difference between real scarcity and manufactured scarcity. How fear of missing out (FOMO) drives purchasing decisions. Why limited choices can sometimes make people more likely to act. Practical ways to recognize and resist scarcity-based manipulation.

World-renowned astrophysicist Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson (Author of Take Me To Your Leader: Perspectives on Your First Alien Encounter) returns to the Mayim Bialik's Breakdown studio for one of his most mind-bending conversations yet, covering UFOs, aliens, consciousness, near death experiences, secret government speculation, DMT entities, Antarctica's hidden lakes, and what humanity may discover beyond Earth.Neil reveals why he REFUSED an invitation to inspect an alleged alien body and explains what most people get wrong about extraterrestrials. He shares his biggest problems with how aliens are portrayed in Hollywood, why alien life may not need to be silicon-based, and whether stories about reverse-engineered UFO technology (including theories involving the Wright Brothers) hold any scientific weight.He also addresses the mysterious deaths and disappearances of U.S. scientists connected to nuclear research and aerospace programs, and whether any of it could realistically be tied to nonhuman intelligence, UAPs, or classified technology.The conversation goes even deeper into consciousness and altered states. We explore the controversial DMT laser protocol experiments and why so many experiencers report seeing the same “source code,” encountering entities, communicating with departed souls, or entering what feels like other dimensions. Neil explains the scientific evidence he would require before accepting out-of-body experiences or near death experiences as real phenomena existing outside the brain.He also reveals why he has never used drugs, why he does not believe consciousness survives bodily death, and breaks down his fascinating “3 varieties of truth” framework for understanding reality itself.Plus:- What Neil deGrasse Tyson hopes humanity's first contact with aliens would actually look like- How aliens & UFOs became mainstream cultural topics- Why he wanted to become part of the alien conversation- Whether underground lakes beneath Antarctica could serve as models for icy alien oceans elsewhere in the solar system- Future of astrobiology, extraterrestrial discovery, & human understanding of consciousnessThis is one of the deepest and most controversial discussions Neil deGrasse Tyson has ever had on aliens, UFOs, DMT, consciousness, near death experiences, and the search for life beyond Earth!Rula patients typically pay $15 per session when using insurance.

Most people have heard of the "dark web," but what exactly is it? Is it really a hidden corner of the internet where criminals and bad actors operate beyond the reach of law enforcement? And what about the "deep web"—is that the same thing? These terms are often used interchangeably, but they mean very different things. Understanding the difference offers a fascinating glimpse into how the internet really works. https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/news/what-dark-web You often hear that fewer people are getting married, that younger generations have lost interest in marriage, or that marriage itself is slowly fading away. The reality is much more interesting. Marriage is not disappearing—it is evolving. People are marrying later, expecting different things from marriage than previous generations did, and redefining what a successful marriage looks like. At the same time, marriage remains one of the most important relationships in people's lives. So what is changing, what isn't, and what does the future of marriage look like? For some answers we turn to Stephanie Coontz, Director of Research and Public Education for the Council on Contemporary Families and author of For Better and Worse: The Complicated Past and Challenging Future of Marriage (https://amzn.to/440TQpK). We've all seen people who seem to possess an extraordinary level of confidence. Elite athletes, military leaders, top executives, first responders—people who perform under enormous pressure yet appear calm, focused, and absolutely certain they can handle whatever comes next. According to Dr. Nate Zinsser, the kind of confidence is a skill that can be deliberately built, strengthened, and maintained. Drawing on decades of experience training soldiers, athletes, executives, and emergency personnel, Dr. Zinsser explains where genuine confidence comes from, and how anyone can develop the mental habits that lead to stronger performance under pressure. Dr. Zinsser is Director of the Performance Psychology Program at West Point and author of The Confident Mind: A Battle-Tested Guide to Unshakable Performance (https://amzn.to/4xAOwqS) Most dog owners believe a hug is a universal sign of affection. Your dog may not agree. While dogs are often expressive about their emotions, humans frequently misread what those emotions mean. Understanding how dogs communicate—and how they interpret our behavior—can help prevent misunderstandings that sometimes lead to stress, anxiety, or even aggression.

Most arguments seem to be about just one thing: money, chores, politics, parenting, work, or whatever sparked the disagreement. But according to experts in conflict resolution, there is often something deeper happening beneath the surface. In fact, many arguments become difficult to resolve because two separate problems are being confused as one. Understanding the difference can completely change the conversation.

Imagine no frozen food, no leftovers, no supermarkets stocked with fresh produce year-round, and no easy way to transport food across long distances. Just 150 years ago, that was normal life. Then refrigeration arrived and quietly transformed almost everything about how humans eat, live, work, and build cities. Yet this remarkable technology has also created unexpected consequences for our health, food systems, the environment, and even our relationship with nature. Nicola Twilley, writer, co-host of the popular Gastropod podcast (https://gastropod.com/category/podcasts/), and author of Frostbite: How Refrigeration Changed Our Food, Our Planet, and Ourselves (https://amzn.to/3VuXNP0), reveals the fascinating story behind one of the most important inventions in human history. Volcanoes are among the most destructive forces on Earth. They bury cities, disrupt climates, and unleash enormous power with little warning. Yet without volcanoes, life on Earth might never have evolved the way it did—and may not exist at all. Where does lava come from? Why do volcanoes erupt where they do? Why do some remain dormant for centuries before suddenly awakening? And what role have volcanoes played in shaping the planet we call home? Tamsin Mather, professor of Earth Sciences at the University of Oxford and author of Adventures in Volcanoland: What Volcanoes Tell Us About the World and Ourselves (https://amzn.to/3xk4DyI), explains why volcanoes are not just geological curiosities but one of the fundamental forces that made Earth what it is today. Most purses travel everywhere their owners do—restaurants, public restrooms, grocery stores, offices, airports, and countless other places. Along the way, they collect far more than receipts, lipstick, and keys. Researchers have found that purses can become surprisingly dirty, and what accumulates on them can be more than just kinda gross—it may pose a legitimate health concern. https://finderskeypurse.com/blogs/finderskeypurse-com-blog/how-dirty-is-your-purse-plus-how-to-keep-it-clean PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS POCKET HOSE: For a limited time, when you purchase a new Pocket Hose Ballistic, you'll get a FREE 360 degree rotating pocket pivot and a FREE thumb drive nozzle!
