Dr. Read Montague, PhD, is a professor and director of the Center for Human Neuroscience Research at Virginia Tech and an expert in how dopamine and serotonin shape human learning, motivation and decision-making. We discuss how they impact focused effort in the context of short- and long-term goals of all kinds. Also, how SSRIs and low-effort, high-engagement activities reduce the rewarding properties of dopamine, and how AI algorithms are revolutionizing understanding of the brain.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 55: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: So would you like to collapse the Trump Regime? Today? Peacefully? Legally? You - the White House press corps. It only takes one of you. You go into the next Oval Office Scrum, and you ask him politely for his explanation of something released by his administration, by Pam Bondi’s office, on the government website, and you read – quoting this FBI 302 interview file: “Maxwell presented (her) to Trump…by the things Maxwell said, it was clear that (she) was available…”And don’t stop reading and don’t make eye contact. THEN from the sworn affidavit, reed, quote: “I personally witnessed Defendant Trump telling the plaintiff that she couldn’t ever say anything, if she didn’t want to disappear like the 12-year old female (redacted) and that he was capable of having her whole family killed…” Quote: “the physical and sexual abuse that I personally witnessed of minor females at the hands of Mr. Trump and Mr. Epstein... under penalty of perjury even though I fully understand that the life of myself and my family is now in grave danger” unquote, what SIR is your explanation SIR about when you threatened this girl’s life, sir. Just keep asking. Don't make eye contact, don't stop, don't stop talking when he starts talking. Just reel off those quotes. And the one about becoming fertilizer. And the "Calendar Girls" story (as nonsensical as that probably is). And all the others. Because we don't always see the escape hatch when it appears before us, and it just appeared. Because the Epstein Files are part of an official Department of Justice Document Dump. Their contents are Pam Bondi's problem, not you or your lawyer's. And if you don't bear down and do this job as it was designed by the Founding Fathers, you will sooner or later face one of these outcomes: you'll be arrested, you'll be replaced by some automaton Bari Weiss likes, or the country will survive and the next people running media will never consider you for work because you were cowardly when we needed your courage. Oh and you can peacefully, legally end the careers of Elon Musk and Marco Rubio and Bari Weiss and lots of others. The material is all in front of you. Just have the courage to pick it up and fling it, like he'd fling his poo at you. ALSO: Don Lemon was arrested not because Jesus but because Trump has always hated him. And if you've forgotten, I explained two weeks ago why Trump was trying to restart the 2020 crap, now sending Tulsi Gabbard to Georgia. They're sitting up not a claim that the election was fixed, but that the election was fixed by another country (hey, Nicolas Maduro, you mind taking the rap, in exchange for a pardon?) and there is no statute of limitations on THAT. B-Block (34:55) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Harriet Hageman, the blob they elected to the House from Wyoming to replace Liz Cheney, is now running for Senate. Emphasize "running": she has fled a town hill. The Bill Maher Pretzel Logic: Celebrities should shut up, voters don't listen to TV and movie stars. But Bill, you expect them to listen to you. So you're saying you're not a star? And the latest Bari Weiss firing target is supposedly Face The Nation host Margaret Brennan and one of the names being thrown around (probably nonsensically) is Matt Lauer. C-Block (54:00) MONDAYS WITH THURBER: We need a doubleheader. I heard an audio book with a famous actor doing Thurber's tribute to what would be called Dunning-Kruger Syndrome: "The Macbeth Murder Mystery" and it was one of those rare times when I actually said "No - I did this better." So I bring it to you, and as a bonus, a second great unheralded Thurber story: "Meet Birdey Doggett." Enjoy them at your leisure.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Valenti and Rico take your calls and read your texts to hear your main takeaways from Michigan-MSU from last Friday.

The guys criticize Tom Izzo for blaming the officials for MSU's loss on Friday to Michigan.

Mike and Rico give their thoughts on Michigan's win over MSU basketball this past Friday night.

Reality hits hard in the Big 12.West Virginia learned that lesson over the weekend as its perfect home-court run came to an end against a talented — and deceptive — Baylor team that arrived with just one league win. In this conference, it doesn't matter who you play or where you play. Anyone can get you.So… what now?The challenges only ramp up with a Thursday night trip to Cincinnati, followed by a Super Bowl Sunday showdown at home against nationally ranked Texas Tech.In this episode, the “Guys” break down what went wrong in Saturday's loss to Baylor, look ahead to a demanding week, and recap the WVU women's impressive victory over Baylor in a clash of nationally ranked teams.Listener questions and comments wrap up the show.

The release of thousands of Jeffrey Epstein related emails puts uncomfortable attention on the NFL, including the naming of New York Giants minority owner Steve Tisch. The discussion breaks down why some mentions are meaningless, why others can seriously damage reputations, and why this one sits in a very different category. The guys question why national NFL media largely ignored the story, what responsibility Roger Goodell has when it comes to ownership optics, and whether the league actually has the will to act when no crime is alleged but the association itself is troubling. They also examine how this impacts the Giants brand, the Mara family, and why protecting the shield has mattered in past ownership cases. Ultimately, it becomes a larger conversation about power, accountability, and whether the NFL will confront uncomfortable realities or quietly move on once the headlines fade.

The Knicks take down LeBron and the Lakers 112-100 as the win streak keeps rolling, and Karl-Anthony Towns gets the All-Star nod. Then the real question: if you dropped $1,200 a ticket at Madison Square Garden, did you walk out feeling like it was money well spent, or instantly regretting it? The guys debate whether the Knicks are back to their best version, with ball movement, defense, and rebounding looking like a team that can beat anybody. They also torch Reggie Miller for an all-time overreaction on a LeBron dunk and argue he shouldn't be calling Knicks games at all. Plus, with the trade deadline approaching, the Giannis conversation heats up again. If the Knicks are rolling and the East feels wide open, do you still push the chips in or protect the chemistry? A caller floats a Mikal Bridges for Jrue Holiday swap, and the guys explain why trading a prime player for an aging vet makes zero sense unless it's part of something much bigger.

Chris “Big Mac” McMonigle finally gets his long-awaited meeting with Yankees manager Aaron Boone, and the guys predict absolute awkwardness and hero worship. That leads into a hilarious recap of a night at UBS Arena, including a fake speakeasy setup, Jon Ledecky playing it cool, and Big Mac getting ribbed on the big screen with an all-time mispronunciation of his name. The segment also dives into Tommy's Islanders rant being used as a full-blown hype video, how nervous that made him once the puck dropped, and why that moment meant more than any billing order on the scoreboard. From there, the conversation turns serious again with callers weighing in on the Steve Tisch situation, what Roger Goodell can actually do, and how many real questions the commissioner will face about it. It wraps with broader league talk, including revenue sharing, small-market realities, and why the NFL model works where baseball continues to struggle.

A caller raises the alarm about the growing trend of coaches pulling out of interviews, and the guys connect it to what the Jets could be staring at next. If the roster stays thin, ownership stays noisy, and you are firing a coach after one year, who is actually lining up to take that job? The discussion hits the Browns and Cardinals as warnings, debates the real risk of moving on from Aaron Glenn too fast, and questions whether the “best and brightest” would even want the Jets. Then the segment shifts into a bigger conversation about hypocrisy and how fans react differently depending on the name, the talent level, and the stakes. It turns into a blunt talk about outrage, perspective, and why sports media can't just repeat the same point every minute of every show. Finally, the whole thing takes a left turn into weekend stories, including a Rascal Flatts concert, “Evan seats” as the perfect concert hack, and an Albany surprise with an International Wrestling Hall of Fame sighting, capped off with Royal Rumble predictions and a reminder that the wrestling savant era might be here.

A bold claim that Patriots vs Seahawks is the least appealing Super Bowl of the last decade. To prove it, the guys run through Super Bowls year by year, comparing pregame intrigue, star power, coaches, quarterbacks, and overall buzz. Brady vs Mahomes, Stafford's redemption, dynasties, underdogs, and first-time contenders all get stacked up against this matchup, and nearly all of them come out ahead. The debate dives into why this Super Bowl feels flat, whether it is fatigue with familiar franchises, less compelling versions of past dynasties, or simply a lack of must-see characters. It wraps with a Monday gut prediction that this game could get ugly, even if opinions might change by kickoff.

Chris Mack wraps up the hour with his thoughts on who could be the next Sam Darnold next season in the NFL.

Chris Mack breaks down how he seems Seahawks vs. Patriots playing out next Sunday. Plus, Chris questions if it's time to trust Sam Darnold after last week's performance.

On this week's Best Of Lions, Costa & Jansen and Karsch & Anderson have similar discussions about whether Kelvin Sheppard can be trusted enough to have a 2nd year as defensive coordinator. Plus, Stoney & Rico pose a few Lions-related "Can We Say That?"s.
