Podcasts about Sprinkle

Boomer and Gio react to Team USA's gold medal glow showing up in Washington, with Jack Hughes expected back on the ice tonight and the Devils crowd ready to explode. Then the conversation swerves to Eileen Gu, endorsements, and the whole dual citizenship debate. From there it's NFL Combine season: Aaron Glenn talks year-two growth, Joe Schoen claims he's “crushing” film, Harbaugh gives the full alignment speech, and the league keeps trying to convince itself it has quarterback answers. Plus, the Colts admit the pressure is real with Anthony Richardson. And back in New York, the Knicks get embarrassed in Cleveland, KAT disappears in the second half, Wally brings the heat, and everyone's left asking what's actually going on. Sprinkle in Dan Hurley's “adjustments are overrated” rant, St. John's chasing win No. 14, MLB's ABS challenge chaos, and yes, a bizarre fossil headline that somehow makes the show.

INFJ EPIC Relationships Course:https://programs.wenzes.com/courses/epicrelationships_Join Bootcamp, next live call Feb 28th:

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we're getting ready to BABYMOON. If you're watching this, we're on the beach right now (yay) trying to figure out what you even call a babymoon for baby number two (because “babymoon” feels… aggressive). Sprinkle? Second moon? TBD. Either way, we recorded this episode right before heading out and immediately spiraled. We start with trip planning debates, pregnancy food rules (can you eat beef carpaccio while pregnant?), and the age-old question of what actually matters more at a restaurant: the food or the vibe.  Then we get into the big one: failing the one-hour glucose test. What it means, what it doesn't, what comes next, and why it's way less dramatic than it sounds but still mentally jarring when you get the call. From there, we talk about ear piercing timing, leg shaving & making the bed. Mid-episode we cover Valentine's Day, the jewelry-box-at-dinner move, whether we regret buying so much pink before having a boy, and the very real struggle of finding a nickname for baby boy that YOU GUYS like. Travel etiquette becomes a full debate (as always): reclining seats, switching seats for families, and whether you're ever obligated to move on a plane. We also get into babysitter etiquette (if you say “help yourself to anything,” do you actually mean anything?), and then unpack the viral Girl Scout story where one girl sold $450k worth of cookies… and where that money really goes. We wrap with a Bicker of the Week, two Things We DMed Each Other (Olympics + Waymo obv), and a parenting takeaway that stuck with us all week: tell kids what TO do, not just what NOT to do. LOVE YOU GUYS. Thanks for listening!!!  Timestamps: 00:00:00 Welcome back to Two Parents & A Podcast! 00:04:50 Is there a better name for the second babymoon? 00:07:45 Can you eat beef carpaccio while pregnant? 00:12:42 What matters more: the food or the vibe? 00:15:32 What's the best made-in-Canada company?! 00:18:18 Dads' night out 00:19:48 Failed glucose test… now what? 00:27:58 When should kids get their ears pierced? 00:31:22 Fine dining: worth it or overrated? 00:34:33 Asking parents with grown kids: what would you do differently? 00:36:47 The jewelry box at dinner move 00:38:42 Do we regret buying so much pink before having a boy? 00:42:30 We need a new nickname for baby boy 00:43:51 Airplane etiquette: is it okay to recline? 00:47:37 Seat switching on planes: are you obligated to move for families? 00:55:17 Babysitter etiquette: if you say “help yourself to anything,” do you ACTUALLY mean anything? 00:59:48 Girl Scout goes viral for selling $450k worth of cookies… BUT where does the money actually go? 01:04:18 BICKER OF THE WEEK: Is it OK to eat on the couch?! 01:08:24 THINGS WE DME EACHOTHER: Norway is dominating the Olympics (and their youth sports rules are the opposite of ours) 01:13:25 THINGS WE DME EACHOTHER: DoorDash drivers are getting paid to close Waymo doors?? 01:16:09 THIS WEEK WE EARNED: tell kids what TO do (not what NOT to do) 01:17:37 LOVE YOU GUYS! #twoparentsandapod --- Thank you to our sponsors this week: *Merit: Right now, Merit Beauty is offering our listeners their Signature Makeup Bag with your first order at https://www.meritbeauty.com *Edmunds: Checking your car's value is an easy win to cross off your to do list.

The cauldron on Drink Mountain has been lit, and the boys have opened their ceremonies for you. Or something. I have no idea what that means. Anyway, The Kings of Drink Mountain proudly celebrate the winter games with a little help from their friend Belle (aka Sprinkle...well, you know) from the Belle and Thobey Show. Check out the olympic-sized laughs and you'll agree it earns a gold medal for hilarity!

Send a textStrap in—this one's a mess. The crew breaks down how the Air Force's first female SERE Chief thought it was a good idea to dox an A1C because his dad called her a “garrison bunny.” Yeah, you read that right. Instead of clapping back with humor, she weaponized her platform of 195k followers to drag a kid who had zero involvement. We torch the hypocrisy, roast the power abuse, and ask the question no one else will: how the hell is this acceptable in uniform? Sprinkle in some Pete Buttigieg jokes, Atlas Shrugged doomsday signals, and a little self-owning about Ones Ready's own social media run-ins, and you've got an episode that pulls no punches.

Debbie Weiss, founder of Debbie R. Weiss & Associates and creator of A Sprinkle of Hearts, who helps middle-income families protect what matters most — their homes, cars, and lives — while inspiring women to rediscover themselves after caregiving, loss, or major life change.Through her long-standing insurance agency and her work as an author, speaker, and podcast host, Debbie blends practical protection with personal empowerment, guiding others to find both security and purpose in every chapter of life.Now, Debbie's journey from running a thriving business for over 30 years to rebuilding her life after profound personal loss demonstrates the incredible strength that comes from starting over — even when it feels impossible.And while balancing two worlds — one grounded in serving her community, the other dedicated to inspiring reinvention — she's showing women everywhere that it's never too late to rewrite their story.Here's where to find more:https://www.debbieweiss.nethttps://www.debbierweiss.comhttps://asprinkleofhearts.comhttps://www.facebook.com/debbierweisshttps://www.instagram.com/debbie.r.weisshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/debbieweisshttps://www.tiktok.com/@debbierweisshttps://maybeicanwithdebbieweiss.buzzsprout.comhttps://www.youtube.com/@debbierweisshttps://www.pinterest.com/debbierweisswww.debbierweiss.com/bookshttps://debbierweiss.substack.com/?utm_source=substack&utm…https://medium.com/@debbie_44494________________________________________________Welcome to The Unforget Yourself Show where we use the power of woo and the proof of science to help you identify your blind spots, and get over your own bullshit so that you can do the fucking thing you ACTUALLY want to do!We're Mark and Katie, the founders of Unforget Yourself and the creators of the Unforget Yourself System and on this podcast, we're here to share REAL conversations about what goes on inside the heart and minds of those brave and crazy enough to start their own business. From the accidental entrepreneur to the laser-focused CEO, we find out how they got to where they are today, not by hearing the go-to story of their success, but talking about how we all have our own BS to deal with and it's through facing ourselves that we find a way to do the fucking thing.Along the way, we hope to show you that YOU are the most important asset in your business (and your life - duh!). Being a business owner is tough! With vulnerability and humor, we get to the real story behind their success and show you that you're not...

Titus 3 is so rich in the Greek, literally! Paul uses a word in the Greek to describe God pouring the Holy Spirit out on those who choose to follow Jesus. The word he uses in the Greek means “rich” as in having an abundant supply that will never run out, it just continues to flow. I don't know what that is like but there are some that have so much money, their kids and grandkids could never exhaust their bank account! I'm not too sure, as believers, we understand this concept. God pours out His Spirit on those who trust in Him. We take a deep dive on this topic in this podcast. Thanks for listening!

Sometimes we forget about trusted old favourites in favour of the latest trend or new fancy ingredient, but can you remember your first blueberry muffin? The joy and juiciness of each bite, the fact that they're very likely better on day two, and that buttering them will change your life. Make the most of late season blueberries this weekend. Makes 12 regular muffins Ingredients 2/3 cup white sugar + extra for topping ¼ cup lightly packed brown sugar 2 medium eggs ¾ cup plain yogurt 120g melted butter or oil 1 ¾ cups plain flour 1 generous tsp baking powder ½ tsp sea salt ½ tsp baking soda 1 tbsp lemon zest, 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 punnet fresh or frozen blueberries Method Preheat oven to 180C. Line 12 standard muffin tins with liners or baking paper or grease well with oil. Beat sugars with eggs in a large bowl and then whisk in yoghurt and butter. Add flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda and stir to combine. Don't over mix it. Fold in blueberries. Divide among prepared muffin holes. Sprinkle each muffin with a decent sprinkle of sugar and bake until golden brown and baked through, 17–20 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before easing each muffin from the tin. Nici's note: These freeze well. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Year of the Snake is coming to a close. This is the perfect time to shed that outgrown skin. We must let go of the old, heavy energy holding us back if we're going to meet the fast-moving energy that the Year of the Horse is bound to bring. One of the greatest drains on our energy comes from comparing ourselves to others. Every time we measure our worth against someone else, we snuff out our own light. It's time to stop worrying about what they're doing and start taking an interest in your own life. When this happens, the temptation to compare becomes a lot less enticing. Let the shedding begin! What am I reading?The Witch's Daughter by Paula Brackston https://bookshop.org/a/111301/9781250004086Be More Owl: Life Lessons from our Feathered Friends by Alison Davieshttps://bookshop.org/a/111301/9781837834068https://bookshop.org/shop/witchywomanwalkingWhat's playing on repeat?Violet by Hole What's for dinner? Fiber Fueled Sweet Potato Ingredients:Baked sweet potatoProtein of choice - plant based “meat”, grind chicken/beef, shredded rotisserie chicken, fried egg, beans Cheese of choiceGreen Veggie of choice: broccoli, kale, spinach, Swiss chard etc.Red/orange/yellow veggie: bell peppers, tomatoes, cornToppings: guacamole, salsa, hummus, crunchy chili oil, Greek yogurt, sour cream Fermented add-on: kimchi, pickles, sauerkraut, pickled beets/carrots/onions Fresh herbs of choice Instructions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

This is pure comfort food while still being fresh and lively with the addition of fresh, seasonal corn kernels. Serves 2 Ingredients 200g large-holed pasta or pasta shells 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 onion, finely diced 2–3 rashers bacon, chopped 60g butter 3 tablespoons plain flour 250mls milk 100mls vegetable stock 1 tablespoon mustard powder (or 1 big teaspoon wholegrain mustard) 1 bay leaf ½ teaspoon sea salt and pepper 100g grated cheese — mix of aged Cheddar, Parmesan, Gruyère, crumbled blue or whatever you please 1 cup spinach leaves, chopped (optional) 1 cup corn kernels, freshly cut from the cob Breadcrumbs + extra grated Cheddar and Parmesan for the crunchy top Method Preheat the oven to 170°C. Cook the pasta in large pot of well-salted boiling water until al dente. Once cooked, drain and reserve 1 cup of the pasta water. Heat oil in a saucepan and sauté onion until soft. Add bacon and fry for 3–4 minutes. Remove and set aside. Make the cheese sauce in the same pan (I don't bother with washing it) by melting the butter then stirring in the flour, mixing to a paste. Add half the milk, mustard, bay leaf, salt and pepper, and stir while it comes up to heat and thickens. Pour in the remaining milk and the stock and cook for 10 minutes, stirring to a smooth sauce. Whisk in enough pasta water until you have a pouring cream consistency, not a thick béchamel. Stir in cheeses and heat until they melt into the sauce. Stir in spinach and corn kernels.

A nostalgic Mexican food story spirals into gravity conspiracies, rogue elephants, and one of the most unexpected Chester Bennington memories ever shared on the show.On today's episode of The Rizzuto Show, what begins as harmless food talk—sushi boats, cupcakes, and the emotional closure of a longtime St. Louis Mexican restaurant—takes a legendary turn when Moon casually drops a story involving Chester Bennington and a wet chimichanga. From there, the rails are fully gone. Not loosened. Gone.This daily podcast does what it does best: take one real memory and pile on layer after layer of chaos. The crew mourns the loss of local institutions, debates why urgent care centers are multiplying like gremlins, and somehow finds themselves planning for a viral conspiracy theory claiming Earth will lose gravity for seven seconds in August. Helmets are discussed. Field broadcasting is considered. Matching outfits may be required.Things escalate further when the conversation shifts to a genuinely terrifying story about a rogue elephant on a multi-day rampage overseas, leading to the important realization that elephants are apparently both fast and sneaky—which feels unfair. Add in extreme cold weather prep, heartfelt reminders to check on elderly neighbors, and wildly inappropriate jokes about inheritance, and you've got the emotional range only The Rizzuto Show can pull off.As always, the gang balances the absurd with the oddly thoughtful. One minute it's doom-and-gloom apocalypse talk, the next it's a sincere discussion about community, local history, and why food memories hit harder than they should. Sprinkle in celebrity chaos, pop culture commentary, music debates, and self-roasting tangents, and this daily podcast becomes exactly what listeners expect: unpredictable, hilarious, and just structured enough to keep the FCC calm.If you're looking for a daily podcast that doesn't pretend to have all the answers—but is very confident while being wrong—this episode is for you. Come for the Chester Bennington wet chimichanga story.

Hi Bakers, Should you make your own seeded crackers, or is it a waste of time? I get so mad eating expensive and tasteless gluten-free crackers, so I decided to try making them myself…but was it worth it??I would 100% make these again; my only complaint is that I wanted them to be crisper. I loved the simple way they came together and the healthful ingredients in them. The pumpkin and pumpkin spice with seeds and dried cranberries were festive and delicious. These crackers are a beautiful gluten-free addition to any winter table. Thinking of trying them? Here are my thoughts to help you decide. PS: After writing this, I'm heading downstairs to make another batch right now! Enjoy! CarolynPros:prettytaste goodeasy to makefree of gluten, dairy, egg, grainsfull of fiber and nutritiousCons:long bake time (more like drying)not as crisp as I hopedGluten-Free Pumpkin Cranberry Holiday Seed CrackersModified from Tasty, Thrifty, Timely's Recipe for Seeded CrackersMakes two 10” x 15” sheets of crackers (to be broken apart)Dry Ingredients1/4 cup blanched almond flour1/2 cup golden flax seeds, ground1/4 cup black chia seeds1/3 cup raw shelled pumpkin seeds1/3 cup finely chopped dried cranberries1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice1/8 teaspoon saltWet Ingredients3/4 cup water1/4 cup pumpkin puree1 1/2 tablespoons maple syrupPreheat the oven to 275F. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients and set aside. Mix wet ingredients in a small bowl. Pour wet ingredients over the dry and mix thoroughly, making sure there are no dry spots. You may need to scrape the bowl with a spatula to get everything combined. Smooth the surface of the dough and let it hydrate for 15 minutes. Divide the dough in half and spread it onto a sheet of parchment paper. Make the dough into a flat rectangle as thin as possible. I like to cover the dough with another sheet of parchment** and roll it out. Remove the top sheet of parchment and smooth the top of the dough if needed. Sprinkle with salt if desired. Bake for about 2o minutes and then rotate the pans in the oven. Continue cooking for another 20 minutes or until the crackers are browned at the edges and dry to the touch. Cool in the oven to dry them out even more. Break cooled crackers into pieces. Store in an airtight container for up to a week. Want to try the dip I made too? Easy Hot Honey Dip: Take a block of whipped and softened cream cheese (or dairy-free) and top it with 1 tablespoon of Trader Joe's Chili Onion Crunch (or other chili oil) mixed with 3 tablespoons of honey. Garnish with some cranberries, rosemary, and a bunch of your seeded crackers too.**Parchment paper is essential; without it, the dough sticks to the rolling pin and is hard to get thin enough to crisp.

You are on slide 34 when the CFO's phone buzzes. She glances down. The VP to her left is nodding, but you can tell he checked out ten minutes ago. You know this pitch cold. You have rehearsed it. You built the deck. You covered every feature, every capability, every objection. And still, you are dying up there. You spent weeks on this presentation. None of it matters because everyone in that room has already sat through the same pitch from three other vendors this month. “Pitching sucks,” says Danny Fontaine, author of Pitch, on an episode of the Sales Gravy Podcast. “It sucks for the people doing it because we get so stressed out, and we spend weeks doing mountains of work. Meanwhile, there is a whole audience who has just as bad of a time as us because they have to sit through an hour of 100 PowerPoint slides and they're bored.” He is right. The audience suffers just as much. They sit through identical presentations, back to back, trying to remember which vendor said what. Both sides leave exhausted. No one wins. There is a better way. Effective sales pitch techniques don't rely on slides. They create engagement, tell stories, and turn monologues into conversations that actually move deals forward. Why Traditional Pitches Fail The standard pitch follows the same predictable pattern. Company overview. Capabilities. Case studies. Pricing. Questions at the end. Every competitor uses the same structure. That means you are asking your prospect to choose between nearly identical presentations. When everything looks the same, decision makers default to price or familiarity. Your carefully crafted message gets lost in the noise. You are treating the pitch like a presentation when it should be a conversation. You are trying to inform when you should be persuading. Experience Beats Information In 1979, a small advertising agency called Allen Brady and Marsh (ABM) competed against industry giant Saatchi & Saatchi for the British Rail account. ABM's founder, Peter Marsh, knew he couldn't win by playing it safe. When the British Rail executives arrived for the pitch, no one answered the door. They rang the buzzer three times before it finally opened, with no one behind it. The receptionist ignored them while filing her nails. The waiting area was filthy. After a while of being dismissed, the chairman stood up to leave. That is when Marsh burst through the doors and said, “Gentlemen, you have just experienced what your customers go through every single day. Shall we see what we can do to put it right?” ABM won the account. And it worked because the executives didn't just understand the problem. They felt it. Most sales pitches fail because they ask buyers to care before they are emotionally engaged. Information alone doesn't create urgency—experience does. Start With Them, Not You Pitches always start the same: ‘Thanks for your time. Here's our agenda. Let me tell you about our company.' Your prospect stops listening after the first sentence. If you want engagement, start with a question. Ask what matters to them. Ask what would make the time valuable. Ask what problem they are trying to solve. Before you show a single slide, say something like, “Before we start, what would make this conversation worth your time today?” Or, “What is the biggest challenge you are facing with this right now?” Those questions do three things immediately. They show respect. They give you intelligence. And they turn the pitch into a conversation from the first minute. This works even better over Zoom, where attention is fragile and distractions are everywhere. When you ask early questions, you pull people in instead of competing with their inbox. Stories Create Memory The most powerful stories aren't pulled from case studies. They come from real life. Every meaningful achievement involves obstacles. Those obstacles contain lessons. Those lessons connect directly to the challenges your prospects are facing. A story without relevance is just noise. A story with a clear lesson becomes a lever. A consultant once shared a story about buying a secondhand Lego set. She started building it, only to discover key pieces were missing. After hours of searching for replacements, she had to start over. When pitching a complex implementation, she said, “That taught me something. At the beginning of any project, we have to make sure all the pieces are in the bag.” That story worked because it made preparation tangible. It made risk visible. It connected emotionally and logically. If the story does not clearly support the point you are making, don't tell it. Ask Before You Lose Them Most salespeople cling to their script even when they can see the room drifting away. They are afraid of losing control, so they keep talking. That is how you lose the deal. Don't wait until the Q&A to ask questions. Sprinkle them throughout your pitch to keep your audience engaged and the conversation alive. Ask if you're hitting the mark, what they want to explore deeper, and what matters most to them. When you ask questions, you aren't giving up control. You are gaining it. The person asking the questions is always in control of the conversation. Emotion First, Logic Second Buyers like to believe they are rational. They are not. Emotion drives decisions. Logic justifies them. If you want someone to care, you have to make them feel something. Frustration. Relief. Possibility. Urgency. That is why the British Rail experience worked. Marsh didn't argue that customer service was bad. He made them experience it. The feeling came first. The logic followed. Once a buyer is emotionally engaged, they start looking for reasons to say yes. They look for data to support the decision they already want to make. This is why information-first pitches fall flat. You are asking people to care before you have given them a reason to. Create the emotional connection first. Then give them the facts. When the Room Goes Cold Even the best sales pitch techniques don't work every time. Sometimes the wrong people show up, there is a fire you didn't know about, or your message just doesn't land. When that happens, don't push harder. Pivot. Call it out. Ask what would be more valuable. Acknowledge the moment instead of pretending it is not happening. That level of honesty builds trust. It shows you are there to solve a problem, not deliver a performance. Why This Matters Your prospect didn't show up to be entertained or to be bored. When you give them an experience they didn't expect, you separate yourself from every competitor running the same tired deck. You become memorable. You become relevant. You become human. The pitch that feels risky is usually the one that wins. The personal story. The direct question. The willingness to have a real conversation. Because the alternative is being forgotten the moment you leave the room, no matter how many slides you showed. Want to take your pitch from forgettable to unforgettable? Download the FREE A.C.E.D. Buyer Style Playbook, which shows you exactly how to read your buyers, adapt your approach, and turn every conversation into a deal-closing opportunity.

Heated Rivalry, the horny hockey drama, employs a classic Hollywood formula: Sprinkle in some nudity, and suddenly the odds of your crapshoot becoming a hit improve. Like the perpetually packed “European-style” pool in Las Vegas, audiences are drawn in by the allure of illicit skin. And in a business where a hit can be hard to come by and certainty is nonexistent, nudity — whether from closeted hockey players or HBO hits of yore — remains the simple, reliable grease.  Transcript here.

It's time to look back… and immediately ask ourselves, “Wait—who said that?!”In Part 1 of this two-part recap episode, Kiki and Medinah revisit some of the wildest, funniest, most unhinged moments from 2025 (with a few older classics sprinkled in), reacting to past clips in real time and reliving everything from comedian guests and dating rants to weird sex stories, hair debates, pop culture takes, and those signature CockTales side quests that somehow always lead back to food.This episode is pure commentary chaos:– Comedians we loved (and clips that still hold up… mostly)– Dating opinions that aged interestingly– Hair, weaves, man-weaves, and why honesty matters– Weird sex facts that somehow turn into social commentary– Pop culture deep dives (yes, including Game of Thrones)– Rants that start one place and end somewhere completely differentThink of this as a highlight reel with commentary, context, and a little “wow… we really said that” energy. And don't worry — this is just Part 1. There's plenty more where this came from.

"Fit for a King": Nici Wickes' Lamington Cake If you ever need to produce a celebration cake, this is it! Serves 8-10 Ingredients: Sponge cake 130g unsalted butter, softened 1 cup caster sugar 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 3 large eggs 2⅓ cups self-raising flour 1 pinch salt 1 cup milk To decorate  1/3 cup raspberry jam, warmed slightly 1 ½ cup icing sugar 30g butter, softened ½ cup raspberries (fresh or frozen, defrosted) 3-5 tablespoons, boiling water 1 ½ cups coconut thread 300mls cream, whipped with one tbsp icing sugar Method: Preheat the oven to 170 C fan bake. Grease two 20cm round cake tins and dust with flour. Beat the butter, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, and mix until well beaten. Stir in the flour and salt then the milk and mix until just combined, being careful not to over-mix. Divide the batter between the cake tins, one third in one and two thirds in another. Bake for 25 minutes or until they spring back when gently pressed. The thicker one will likely need 5-7 minutes more cooking time. Leave to cool for 12-15 minutes before turning onto a wire rack to cool completely. Cut tops off each sponge to level them if necessary, then split the thicker one into two layers. Mix icing sugar, butter and half of the boiling water. Press the raspberries through a sieve to collect the juice and add this to the icing. Aim for a smooth, runny icing, adding more water or icing sugar as needed. Pour out onto a shallow dinner plate. Sprinkle coconut onto another dinner plate. Roll the sides of each cake layer in the icing to get the cake sides evenly coated, then roll in the coconut to cover. To assemble, place one sponge layer on a serving plate. Spread with jam, then dollop on whipped cream. Top with second sponge layer and repeat with jam and cream. Top with the final sponge layer. Spread the top with icing then sprinkle over coconut. Chill for 30 minutes before ready to serve. Use a serrated knife to cut and enjoy! Nici's note: Feel free to use two store-bought sponges if you want to save time.

The ladies kick off the new year with Wild ’N Out star Darren Brand, and let’s just say—this episode is like your favorite group chat on speakerphone. From sleep deprivation confessions to throwing kids into Christmas trees (don’t worry, it’s all jokes), the trio dives into everything from TikTok touchdown dances to why January gym memberships expire faster than New Year’s resolutions. Darren shares his comedy journey, dropping gems about grinding since 2008, seven seasons on Wild ’N Out, and why making people laugh is more than entertainment—it’s healing. And yes, there’s a Snoop Dogg blunt story that’ll make you wish you were backstage. But it’s not all laughs—well, mostly it is. They get real about mental health, safe spaces for Black men, and why intimacy isn’t just romantic—it’s about being able to take your emotional wig off without judgment. Sprinkle in some hilarious tangents about R&B bingo, strip clubs during COVID (masks on, everything else off), and the cultural struggle of explaining “ain’t nobody coming to see you, Otis” to someone outside the race, and you’ve got an episode that’s equal parts comedy and culture. Darren even teases his upcoming “Too Grown Too Real” tour and R&B Bingo road show—because who doesn’t want prizes with their nostalgia? Bottom line: If you need a laugh, a little wisdom, and a reminder that Black love and Black laughter are undefeated, this episode is your vibe. Just don’t blame us if you start planning a karaoke night or Googling “Cracker Barrel dumplings” by the end.

Step aboard the Disney Treasure with Michelle, the pixie-dust optimist, and Joe, the delightfully grumpy realist, as they take you on a laugh-filled walkthrough of the ship itself. From the jaw-dropping Aladdin-themed Grand Hall (complete with a rub-able magic lamp and a $35,000 crystal Aladdin-and-Jasmine statue they absolutely are not bringing home) to Jungle Cruise–themed lounges, cat-filled jazz bars, and a ship that's basically a floating Disney art museum, they share what wowed them, what surprised them, and what they totally meant to see but never did. Along the way, they talk live music, trivia nights, Halloween theming, coffee and beer hacks, and why Scat Cat became their quiet little hideaway while Skipper Society felt more like a busy hallway with drinks.    They don't shy away from the misses, either—like the too-small Quiet Cove adult area, awkward guest services lines that looked like mystery queues to nowhere, confusing excursion cancellation rules, and shops clearly designed for the 1% (but not necessarily for people who still want to, you know, get their souvenirs home in one piece). Sprinkle in talk of spas, salons, whiskey tastings in the barbershop, shuffleboard on deck, missed chances to tour the kids' club, and even rumors of a stowaway cat who scored a free cruise and a new life in the Bahamas, and you've got an episode that's part review, part rant, and all real-talk Disney cruise vibes.

Happy Winter Solstice! This is a time for rebirth, renewal, and new beginnings. It's also a time to receive, which is something that many of us struggle to do. Do you freely accept the generosity of others or does it make you feel vulnerable? Do you keep a tally of these “transactions” in your mind so that you can quickly repay the giver? Maybe you fear that when it really counts, others will let you down. What if this Yule, you learned to graciously and lovingly accept the kindness and love of others? As we sit by the fire, contemplate how you might be blocking blessings in your life. It's a perfect time to clear the path for something new.  What am I reading?The Winter Witch by Paula Brackstonhttps://bookshop.org/a/111301/9781250042705uWinter in the Highlands: Eating, Drinking, and Celebrating in Scotland by Flora Shedden https://bookshop.org/a/111301/9781837833689https://bookshop.org/shop/witchywomanwalkingWhat's playing on repeat?The Solstice Carole by Saffie What's for dinner? Savory Solstice PieIngredients:1 lb ground beef or plant-based meat1 onionGarlic2 tbsp olive oil 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce 1 tsp dried thyme 1 tsp ground black pepper 1⁄2 tsp salt 1 cup stock 2 tbsp all-purpose flour 1 cup peas, fresh or frozen 1 cup diced carrots 1 cup diced potatoes 2 sheets of store-bought or homemade shortcrust pastry 1 egg, beatenInstructions:Preheat oven to 40O degrees f. Heat oil over medium heat.

In this segment, host Clay Edwards sarcastically mocks conspiracy theories from critics with "Goon Squad derangement syndrome," suggesting that Eddie Terrell Parker's methamphetamine possession arrest was a police setup. He quips that detractors likely claim authorities "sprinkled some meth on him" during the Louisiana traffic stop, dismissing the charges as fabricated. Edwards challenges racial stereotypes pushed on "black Twitter" and in comments, noting claims that meth is exclusively a "white trash" or "white devil's drug" and not used by Black people, while highlighting Parker's status as a modern civil rights icon turned alleged meth user. The bit ties into broader critiques of media narratives and victim portrayals in the Goon Squad case.

We pride ourselves on watching the bad shows, just so you don't have to! While we love a corny holiday flick-these might have gone too far. “Tyler Perrys Finding Joy” (Prime), “The Family Stone” (Hulu), “A Sprinkle of Christmas” (Netflix)

Send in your music story!A birthday crown, a Charizard Loungefly, and a brand‑new Switch 2 set the stage for a wild ride through shiny hunts, DLC megas, and the strange magic of pacing a game you love. We get honest about Pokemon Legends ZA: the fun of guaranteed shinies, the feel of the world, and why the journey beats the postgame grind. Then the bombshells: DLC teases with Mega Chimecho, Mega Basculegion‑style reveals, Lucario Z, and a level cap blasting past 100 for the first time in 30 years. It's a shake‑up built for highlights, not homework, and we break down why that works.Life doesn't pause for play. We map out screen‑time rules for a toddler—TV as background, no iPad babysitting—and how handheld sessions fit into family evenings. The conversation spills into “What Grinds My Beans,” our running segment on everyday chaos: tapping gift cards like chips, slapping terminals instead of holding a card still, and the art of ordering without treating baristas like NPCs. It's funny because it's true, and it's useful because five seconds of patience can save everyone five minutes of hassle.Then we tackle the Black Friday saga: waking up at 4:30 AM for a hyped “first 100” Target bag only to discover tickets were quietly handed out hours earlier. What counts as a fair promotion, and what does a brand owe the people who show up in the cold? Sprinkle in some adulting—brake rotors, oil change myths, and the difference between a maintenance reminder and a warning light—and we land on a theme that ties it all together: plan well, play smart, and fight for transparency.Big news: we're launching two new shows. The Dark Side of Music with Danny Otto digs into true crime across music history—Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, Tupac, the 27 Club, and beyond. Off The Record brings loose, in‑person conversations, games, and the kind of banter that made you hit play today. If you've missed our chaotic energy, you'll love where we're headed next.If you enjoyed this one, follow and share with a friend who loves Pokemon, barista rants, or retail war stories.

Stacy and Daynah immediately spiral into a conversation that only lifelong best friends (and overthinkers) could have and take listeners on a ride through health, humor, and high-level existential dread. Their chat about The Long Walk turns into a surprisingly hilarious exploration of why empaths maybe shouldn't watch dystopian movies without emotional support snacks, how masculinity could use a software update, and why community matters even when humanity is… a lot. Sprinkle in black-hole anxiety, faith detours, wealth cringe, and The Woman in Cabin 10, and you've got a classic convo: big feelings, big laughs, and big “wait, how did we get here?” energy. 0:00 | Midlife health scares & empath energy 4:00 | College years, identity shifts & big feelings 10:00 | First reactions to The Long Walk 14:00 | Masculinity, humanity & unexpected tenderness 20:00 | Community, connection & being emotionally awake 26:00 | Activism overwhelm & the empath burnout cycle 32:00 | Existential spirals, faith shifts & too many thoughts 40:00 | Sensitive brains, black holes & cosmic panic 46:00 | Trauma media & protecting the empath nervous system 48:00 | The Woman in Cabin 10 & women without the tropes 53:00 | Wealth discomfort, power vibes & the haunting of yachts See complete show notes and more at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠realeverything.com⁠⁠!

When hosting this holiday season, you need to know what's chic. You need to know what's classic. Annie and Hallie Meyers-Shyer know a thing or two about all of that, so Jordan and Max sit down with the sisters of Hollywood royalty to talk everything Thanksgiving, Christmas, and even some Hanukkah. What follows is an appetizer debate, a baked brie beatdown, a worse sweet potato casserole assault, Nancy Meyers' gravy recipe text (which we share below), and the French mashed potatoes to pour it all over. Plus, canned vs. homemade cranberry sauce, acceptable leftovers, the day after Meyers-Shyer sandwich, latke love, nog hate, the best sourdough loaf in LA, and was Jordan right or wrong about Max's Christmas tree? And as a holiday gift, enjoy Nancy Meyers' turkey gravy recipe as heard on the episode:  Make the Broth     1.    Cook the liver for the dog, or discard it.     2.    Place the giblets, neck, carrots, celery, onion, and water in a pot.     3.    Cook on a low flame for about 2 hours, covered. This becomes the beef broth for the gravy.     4.    Turn off the heat and let it sit. It should not look too watery. Prepare the Pan Juices     1.    When the turkey is done, remove it from the pan and place it on a cutting board.     2.    Pour all the juices from the pan into a fat separator.     3.    Remove the fat, then pour the juices back into the pan. Make the Gravy (over a medium/low heat)     1.    Add 1 cup of the broth you cooked earlier into the pan with the juices.     2.    Shake in a little Wondra flour to thicken the mixture.     3.    Sprinkle in dry sage.     4.    Add a pinch or two from one beef cube.     5.    Season with dry sage, salt, and pepper.     6.    Stir until the gravy reaches the consistency you like.

Samin Nosrat's previous cookbook, Salt Fat Acid Heat, was a runaway success and ultimately became a Netflix show. But while she was shining professionally, Samin was struggling personally. In her much-anticipated second cookbook, Good Things: Recipes and Rituals to Share with People You Love, she shares how food helped her reconnect with community.sparkling banana bread (Makes one 8 × 8-inch square)Packed with both mashed and whole bananas, this is my ideal banana bread. To maximize the ratio of the cinnamon-sugar topping to the moist, flavorful interior, I bake it in a cake pan. In the oven, the topping transforms into a sparkling crust that releases wave after wave of cinnamon aroma with each bite.For the banana bread1-1/2 cups (203g) all-purpose flour2 teaspoons (6g) kosher salt1 teaspoon baking soda1 teaspoon baking powder1 teaspoon ground cinnamon1-1/4 cups (288g) well-mashed ripe banana (about 3 bananas; see Note)3/4 packed cup (150g) dark brown sugar2⁄3 cup (140g) neutral oil1⁄3 cup (80g) buttermilk or sour cream, at room temperature1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract2 large eggs, at room temperatureFor the topping6 tablespoons granulated sugar1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt2 very ripe bananas, halved lengthwise• • •Adjust an oven rack to the upper-middle position and preheat to 350°F. Coat an 8-inch square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Line with a parchment sling and spray the parchment. To make the banana bread, in a large bowl, whisk together the flour, kosher salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mashed banana, brown sugar, oil, buttermilk, vanilla, and eggs until evenly combined.Stir the banana mixture into the dry ingredients and mix to combine, making sure to incorporate all the dry flour at the bottom of the bowl.To make the topping, in a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, cinnamon, and flaky salt.Pour the batter into the prepared pan and then let the pan drop from a height of 3 inches onto the countertop a couple times to release any air bubbles that might have gotten trapped inside the batter. Sprinkle the topping in a thick, even layer over the batter, then gently place the banana halves, cut-side up, atop the batter, cutting into pieces as needed to make them fit.Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted around the halved bananas emerges clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. (Alternatively, leave the cake to cool in the pan and serve it directly from there.) Wrap and store at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Ever tell yourself, “I know I should show up online more…” and then somehow, the week slips away and you didn't? You're not alone. Showing up online doesn't have to feel overwhelming or depend on daily bursts of inspiration. You just need a simple system you can repeat week after week. In this Friday Fuel episode of The Launch Your Box Podcast, I'm walking you through the exact rhythm I use to stay consistent across live video, email, and social media, without overthinking it. You can steal it, tweak it, or make it your own. Step 1: Choose Your Weekly Anchor Consistency starts with one non-negotiable: a set day and time for your LIVE.For me, it's Thursday at 9 a.m. every single week. That's my anchor. It's on the calendar, it never moves, and it keeps me accountable. My audience knows when to expect me, and I always know when I'm showing up. If your plan is “I'll go LIVE sometime this week,” chances are you won't.Pick your day, pick your time, and treat it like an important appointment (because it is). Step 2: Turn One LIVE into Days of Content Right after your LIVE, before you clean up or move on, take a few quick photos of yourself with the products you featured. You're already camera-ready and the setup is done. Those images become instant marketing gold: Add one to a same-day recap email linking to the replay, Use another in a next-day email highlighting one or two featured products, Sprinkle the rest across your social media posts for the next few days. This rhythm means you're never starting from scratch. Step 3: Stretch It Over Three Days of Posts We repurpose that Thursday LIVE for three more days of content:Day 1: Product flat-lay or styled shotDay 2: Reel or clip from the LIVEDay 3: Lifestyle photo or testimonial that ties in Same message. Different formats. Maximum visibility. When you build this kind of routine, you'll never again wonder, “What should I post this week?”  Step 4: Why This System Works This weekly rhythm keeps you top of mind and builds trust. The LIVE keeps you visible. The emails deepen connection and drive sales. The posts give your audience multiple chances to see, comment, and buy. You're no longer chasing content. Instead, you're running a system. Take Action Start this week: Pick your LIVE day + time. Go LIVE. Send a recap email. Post follow-up content for three days. That's it. You'll be amazed how quickly consistency turns into momentum. Join me for this episode to discover how one weekly LIVE and two quick emails can create days of content, connection, and confidence.

Every business leader talks about culture — what it means, how to build it, how to protect it. It's one of the most important aspects of running any successful organization. And though Nordstrom is a retailer, the fundamentals of culture-building that apply to our business can actually be found in all kinds of seemingly unrelated industries. For our host, Pete Nordstrom, one of the clearest and most inspiring examples of that has always been sports. Himself a former player and coach for the Men's Basketball Junior Varsity team at the University of Washington — The themes of competition, preparation, and team building continue to serve him today, and will feel familiar to anyone who's ever been charged with motivating a group of people toward a singular purpose. Whether that's people on a sales floor… or players on a basketball court. So in that spirit, we're taking the Nordy Pod on a little trip to the University of Washington's men's basketball facility to gain a few leadership insights from the Head Coach of the Men's Basketball team, Danny Sprinkle. This life-long Huskies fan has loads of experience coaching for Montana State, Utah State, and now UW, and the cross-over application for our business leaves no room for want. Go Dogs! Thanks for tuning in to episode 99. We hope you enjoy it! Did you know that YOU can be on The Nordy Pod? This show isn't just a one-way conversation. We want to hear about what Nordstrom looks like through your eyes. Share your Nordstrom experience, good or bad, by giving us a call and leaving a voicemail at: 206.594.0526, or send an email to nordypodcast@nordstrom.com to be a part of the conversation! And, be sure to follow us on Instagram @thenordypod to stay up to date on new episodes, announcements and more.

Lot going on in this one. Up front, Meteorologist Hunter Fowkes pops in to drop some of the terrifying history the hurricane Melissa just made in Jamaica; then we're onto stories about how Gen Z perceives aggression through punctuation usage in text messages, as well as a cautionary tale about the dangers of swallowing a massive amount of...magnets? Some have complained that the Citizenship Test for the U.S. is too hard so I grabbed some practice tests to try out. Sprinkle in a few more reels, and EBT/Food Stamp crash outs, and this should make for a really fine broadcast!
