    Are you following a "healthy" diet that was actually designed by marketing experts instead of food experts and medical researchers? In this episode, I expose the ugly truth about the Food Guide Pyramid and how this "pyramid-shaped lie" was built on marketing and sponsorships rather than actual science. We've been told for decades to build our meals around grains and fear fat, a strategy that has contributed to the explosion of obesity and metabolic disease. Today, I'm sharing my "JJ's Plate Method" to help you reclaim your metabolism by prioritizing protein, healthy fats, and fiber-rich vegetables. What you'll learn: (00:05) Why the Food Guide Pyramid was marketing, not nutrition science. (02:28) How USDA priorities favored agriculture and industry over public health. (03:10) What recent research says about dietary guidelines and rising metabolic disease. (04:45) Why MyPlate failed to fix the problems of the original pyramid. (05:04) How low-fat, high-carb eating drove insulin resistance and weight gain. (06:36) Why protein intake is critical for muscle, metabolism, and aging well. (08:16) How to build JJ's Plate using protein, healthy fats, vegetables, and fiber. (12:22) Why building muscle matters more than following outdated food rules. Love the podcast?

    In this explosive episode of The Connect, Johnny sits down with Danesa White, better known as Bella Barcode — a former Oakland hustler who built a multi-million-dollar fraud and jewelry embezzlement operation before the age of 21. Raised in the heart of the Bay Area hustle, Danesa breaks down how she went from boosting clothes as a teenager to running sophisticated bank fraud, credit card approval schemes, and high-end jewelry thefts across all 50 states. At her peak, she was clearing hundreds of thousands of dollars a day, selling stolen diamonds, watches, and luxury goods to NFL players and major drug dealers — all while living a jet-set lifestyle that included Dubai, Miami, New York, and beyond. -In this raw, unfiltered conversation, Bella Barcode explains: -How early-2000s bank and credit card fraud actually worked -How jewelry stores could be forced into approving six-figure purchases -The psychology of confidence, misdirection, and playing the role -The moment everything collapsed — arrests, probation violations, and a federal case -Serving 7 years in federal prison and what women's prison is really like -Why she finally chose to tell her story — and the price that came with it Today, Danesa has turned her life around and is inspiring others through her autobiography Recidivism: Beauty Before Bars, proving that survival, accountability, and redemption are possible — even after losing everything. This is one of the most detailed breakdowns of white-collar street crime ever told on the podcast — and a powerful cautionary tale about how fast money can disappear just as quickly as it comes.

    Episode 218 finds me recording the podcast home alone the day after Christmas because Megs is stuck on Long Island thanks to an ice storm, which leaves me, my dog, four vodka shots, and a microphone to unpack everything wrong with adulthood, holidays, politics, the internet, and money. I talk about why I am officially done opening gifts forever, why grown adults do not need Funko Pops or graphic tees, and why the only acceptable Christmas loopholes involve cash or household gifts Megs opens for both of us. I explain how family gatherings improve dramatically when you time edibles correctly, how the stress drops, the noise fades, and life feels manageable again. From there I break down Nicki Minaj taking a massive paycheck to headline Turning Point USA, flipping on years of public positions, praising politicians her audience opposes, ignoring the fact she cannot vote, and why the entire event felt calculated, uncomfortable, and hollow. I react to Joe Budden's response, the internet fallout, and why this move damaged trust across culture and fandom. I then roast the AI Christmas photo trend, the sparkly romper epidemic, bad prompts, lazy re-renders, and why most people do not resemble their AI alter ego despite pretending otherwise. I shut down the viral environmental panic posts about AI destroying the planet, explain why the water usage claims are misleading, and point out industries quietly doing far more damage while everyone yells at computers. I close by breaking down Logan Paul's Liquid Marketplace mess, the fractional ownership of the PSA 10 Pikachu Illustrator card, how money flowed in, payouts never landed, accountability disappeared, and why this situation looks like CryptoZoo with better branding and the same outcome. This episode is a full post-Christmas spiral covering family, money, internet delusion, celebrity hypocrisy, and why none of this should surprise anyone anymore.**********Disclaimer: We at the What are We Doing podcast want to make it clear that the views and opinions expressed in this video belong solely to the speakers or authors and do not represent the views and opinions held by YouTube, its partners, or its owners.We must also emphasize that the information contained in this video has been produced with no warranty, expressed or implied, regarding the validity, accuracy, reliability, completeness, legality, or usefulness of what is said or expressed.

    On this Christmas Eve edition of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Ashe in America take to the mic for a spirited, heartfelt, and wide-ranging conversation as they close out the holiday week with the Badlands community. The show blends festive moments with hard-hitting commentary, touching on government overreach, Big Pharma corruption, taxpayer-funded research scams, and the broader push to “equalize” America at the expense of its people. The hosts engage directly with the audience through rants and shout-outs, reflect on the year that was, and discuss ongoing investigations, election integrity issues, and the growing ability to speak more openly as censorship loosens. Along the way, they share holiday wishes, upcoming programming notes, and gratitude for the Badlands family that continues to show up every day. A Christmas Eve broadcast that balances humor, conviction, and community, this episode captures the spirit of Badlands Daily - truth-seeking, unapologetic, and rooted in faith, freedom, and fellowship.

    Do detoxes work? Do you need a juice cleanse to "reset" your body? Is your liver full of toxins? Short answer: no, no, and absolutely not.This week we debunk the $6.3 trillion wellness industry's claims,juice cleanses, detox teas, foot pads, coffee enemas, the Master Cleanse, and everything in between. We cover how your liver actually detoxifies, why your kidneys filter 200 quarts of blood daily without any help from celery juice, and what a 2015 systematic review concluded about the science of detoxes.We also dig into the history, from ancient Greek bloodletting to George Washington's death to John Harvey Kellogg's yogurt enemas (ew?) and the psychology of why we fall for purity narratives. Plus: why athletes are prime targets, the connection between "clean eating" and orthorexia, documented harms (kidney failure, electrolyte imbalances, rectal perforations (again, EW!)), and 8 red flags for spotting detox scams.95+ facts checked, 17 sources cited.

    In the final Scam Rangers episode of 2025, Ayelet Biger-Levin is joined by industry veteran Ken Palla for a deep year-in-review of the global scam prevention landscape.This conversation examines what actually happened in 2025 across regulation, enforcement, and industry action, and why 2026 must move decisively from research and recommendations to urgent execution.From mandatory reimbursement in the UK, to Australia's Scam Prevention Framework, emerging collaboration in Canada, and fragmented efforts in the United States, the episode cuts through policy language to focus on real-world impact.The discussion also outlines concrete actions financial institutions, telcos, and digital platforms can take now to better protect consumers, reduce losses, and treat scams as the organized crime and national security threat they are.This episode closes the year with a clear message. The research is done. The problem is understood. Now the industry must act.Topics Covered What 2025 revealed about the effectiveness of global scam regulation Where reimbursement models succeed and where they fall short Australia, the UK, Canada, and the US, lessons from different approaches Why execution, not new task forces or studies, is the real gap Urgent actions banks can take to prevent scams before money moves The role of telcos and digital platforms in stopping scams upstream Government, law enforcement, and the need for coordinated leadership Why 2026 must be treated as a year of action Guest :Ken PallaFormer cybersecurity executive at MUFG Union Bank, longtime industry advisor, and recipient of the Legends of Fraud Award. Ken has spent decades focused on online security, fraud prevention, and consumer protection, and is a leading voice on scam regulation and industry accountability.

    In today's Dating Detectives episode, Hannah and Mackenzie are joined by two sisters, Tessa and Lena, who share the heartbreaking story of their mom and the dangerous “healer” who charmed his way into her life. What starts as a new spiritual interest turns into something far darker: a charismatic grifter who peddles bogus “energy readings,” pushes conspiracy-fueled medical misinformation, and steadily isolates their mother from her family, right as serious illness enters the picture. As their mothers health deteriorates and a cancer diagnosis becomes impossible to ignore, the sisters watch in horror as her husband discourages treatment, undermines doctors, and replaces real care with reckless “natural” remedies, leaving them scrambling to protect their mom and regain control of her medical decisions. This is part two of a two-part story about spiritual manipulation, medical abuse, and what it feels like to fight for someone you love when they've been convinced the danger is actually the cure.Click here to join our Patreon!

    TALK TO ME, TEXT ITHoliday sparkle meets hard choices as we weigh what's safe to eat, how we treat each other in crowded airports, and whether “Robin Hood” thefts help or hurt. We start with a candid look at what food safety insiders actually avoid—sprouts, deli meats, bagged salads—and why ready‑to‑eat convenience can hide cross‑contamination risk, listeria exposure, and supply chain blind spots. That opens into a practical, no‑panic guide to eating smarter: when cooking vegetables aids digestion, how heat changes nutrient availability, and why older bodies sometimes do better with gentler prep.Then we taxi to the gate and confront the “Jetway Jesus” trend: using wheelchair assistance to board early and snag overhead space. We unpack the ethics and the ripple effects on travelers who truly need access, and share commonsense travel tactics that keep dignity intact—lighter carry‑ons, under‑seat storage, and the surprising relief of boarding later when you have an assigned seat. The throughline is respect: systems work when we refuse to game them at someone else's expense.The final act steps into a snowy moral quandary: costumed “Santa and elves” stealing groceries to redistribute as charity. We acknowledge real pain from food prices and corporate profits, but challenge feel‑good theft that raises costs, invites crackdowns, and risks closures in the very neighborhoods that need stores. Instead, we point to better paths—community fridges funded by donors, surplus food partnerships, transparent pricing reforms, and direct support to food banks. And we end with a warm prompt for you to join the table: What's on your Christmas menu?If this conversation made you think, follow the show, share it with a friend who loves a good debate, and leave a quick review telling us your holiday plate and your take on these choices.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREE Thanks for listening!

    Welcome back to another hour of digital cynicism. We kick things off with a FOLLOW UP on Amazon's Fallout recaps, which were apparently so hallucination-heavy they made the actual wasteland look organized; naturally, they've been nuked along with the "Video Recaps" feature. In a massive dose of IN THE NEWS, Tesla is finally getting a legal side-eye in California for its deceptive "Autopilot" branding, while TikTok is performing a corporate shell game by selling a 45% stake to Oracle and friends to keep the feds happy. Reddit is fighting Australia's under-16 ban like it's a constitutional crisis, Louisiana's age-verification law just got benched by a judge, and Merriam-Webster officially crowned "slop" as the Word of the Year—which is fitting, given that OpenAI is selectively hiding chat logs from murder-suicides while their Chief Scientist warns that recursive AI self-improvement might end the human experiment by 2030. If the "intelligence explosion" doesn't get us, the CRASH Clock says we've got roughly 2.8 days before Elon's satellite swarm turns low-earth orbit into a permanent scrapyard.In our MEDIA CANDY segment, we mourn the transition year of Star Trek, which was mostly a series of unmitigated disasters and corporate retreats, though the Oscars moving to YouTube in 2029 means we can finally ignore them in 4K. Meta is testing a "pay-to-share-links" feature because they clearly haven't alienated creators enough, and a new study suggests Amazon's "dynamic pricing" is basically just a high-tech way to gouge public school districts for pencils. Moving to APPS & DOODADS, iOS 26.2 is here with a "Liquid Glass" slider—groundbreaking stuff, really—while Microsoft's Copilot+ push is effectively killing the laptop market by making 16GB of RAM a luxury item only a data center could love. Meanwhile, iRobot has officially sucked its last bit of dust into a Chapter 11 filing, proving that even a twenty-year head start can't save you from a 46 percent tariff and better Chinese competition.AT THE LIBRARY, we find out that librarians are ready to quit because people keep demanding books that only exist in a ChatGPT hallucination, proving once again that the "Information Age" was a lie. We descend into THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE with the tireless Dave Bittner to discuss why modern movies feel like plastic, the bizarre paradox of James Cameron's Avatar dominance, and a bittersweet farewell to Rob Reiner. We wrap it up with the return of The Muppets, a look at plug-in solar panels for the budget-conscious prepper, and the Sedaris siblings proving that even grief can be a podcast topic. It's all the tech "progress" you never asked for, delivered with the appropriate amount of Gen-X side-eye.Show notes at https://gog.show/727Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/hHnGD4lIFzASponsors:MasterClass - Get up to 50% off at MASTERCLASS.com/GRUMPYOLDGEEKSPrivate Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.
