Here's Why I Decided To Buy ‘InfoWars'The Onion, By Bryce P. Tetraeder, Global Tetrahedron CEO, on November 14, 2024https://theonion.com/heres-why-i-decided-to-buy-infowars/You Won't Believe Who's Trying to Stop The Onion Buying InfowarsThe New Republic by Ellie Quinlan Houghtaling on November 18, 2024The panel discussed Alex Jones's downfall as Infowars fell into the hands of The Onion. The irony of a satire site owning a platform infamous for conspiracy theories highlighted the comedic and tragic aspects of his legacy. It was noted the poetic justice of his allies abandoning him, while Stephen emphasized the Sandy Hook families' role in undermining Jones financially and symbolically. AJ pointed out the dangers of unchecked platforms spreading harmful misinformation and detailed the harrowing impact of Jones's conspiracy theories on victims' families. The conversation concluded with a reflection on accountability, platforming, and the real-world consequences of toxic narratives.The Non-Prophets, Episode 23.48.1 featuring Infidel 64, Stephen Harder, AJ and Scott DickieBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-non-prophets--3254964/support.

In this year-end episode of The Physician's Guide to Doctoring, I revisit top episodes that resonated with listeners as well as MYSELF. The episode highlights conversations on nonverbal communication in healthcare with Blake Eastman, the impact of tiny habits in patient care with Dr. BJ Fogg, sensitive approaches to discussing weight with Dr. Stephanie Sogg, and the use of humor in patient interactions with Scott Dikkers. I conclude with a note on upcoming content and schedule changes, emphasizing the show's commitment to enhancing physician-patient communication and personal growth. More on each episode: Nonverbal Communication from Behind the Mask with Blake Eastman Published Jun 17, 2020 Blake Eastman is a guest like no other we've had. He is a professional poker player and founded School of Cards, the first brick and mortar poker school in the country and is the creator of Beyond Tells, a poker tells training site. He has a graduate degree in psychology and taught psychology at the City University of New York for six years. While he was doing all of that, he also provided consulting services to physicians, practices, and hospitals regarding nonverbal communication and conducted large scale independent research on nonverbal communication. The current pandemic has hamstrung our ability to read nonverbal communication and convey it. We are either behind a mask or a blurry image on a telehealth visit. He teaches us what to prioritize with regards to our own nonverbal cues, how to optimize a telehealth visit, the importance of the cadence and volume of our speech, and cues for recognizing understanding. https://www.schoolofcards.com/ https://www.beyondtells.com/ @blakeeastman Size Matters Not: Tiny Habits for Big Changes with BJ Fogg, PhD Published Aug 12, 2020 This interview is one of my most important. If you are doing to share any of my episodes, this is one that I would implore you to share with your friends, family and colleagues. This is part 1 of 2 of my interviews with BJ Fogg, PhD, author of the book Tiny Habits: The Small Changes That Change Everything. We all struggle to change our behaviors, to develop good habits and stop bad habits. There is a lot of popular wisdom about this and most, if not all, is just wrong. This is where Dr. Fogg steps in. Dr. Fogg discovered the keys to changing behavior through changing habits. For those of you on medical school faculty, this should be a class. This should actually be taught in high school. Until then, as physicians, this information is critical, not just for lifestyle changes that can help patients eat better, move more, and smoke less, but even applies to checking their blood pressure and taking their medication. Popular wisdom is wrong. Guilt and shame are destructive. People don't start habits by feeling badly, they start habits by feeling successful. And we are more likely to be successful by starting a habit that is small, that we actually want to do, and the third key to this is a prompt that reminds you it is time to perform the behavior. If you are going to learn piano, you start with chopsticks. If you are going to start to exercise, you do one sit-up. The smallest increment that you can fall back on when you motivation is waning so you don't fall off the wagon completely and you keep your habit. And you do it at a point in your day that you can associate with the new behavior, even if they are completely unrelated. You'll have a reminder that is baked into your day. Dr. Fogg founded the Behavior Design Lab at Stanford University. In addition to his research, Dr. Fogg teaches industry innovators how human behavior really works. He created the Tiny Habits Academy to help people around the world and interestingly, the Tiny Habits Academy long preceded the Tiny Habits book. He lives in Northern California and Maui. He can be found at BJFOGG.com and tinyhabits.com When and How to Discuss a Patient's Weight with Stephanie Sogg, PhD Published Jan 28, 2022 Back for her second appearance is Dr. Stephanie Sogg, a clinical psychologist who has been at the MGH Weight Center since 2003. One our previous episode, we discussed the importance of language when discussing someone's weight, so on this episode, we talk about when and how to bring it up. We talk about how body acceptance is actually important to sustained weight loss, although on the surface it may seem like a contradiction. We talk about the influence of sleep, mental health, and when it is time to make recommendations, what actually works. As with most things, it is complicated. Dr. Sogg earned her PhD in clinical psychology from Rutgers University in 1998 and completed a post-doctoral fellowship with Harvard Medical School. In addition to her clinical work, Dr. Sogg conducts research on obesity and bariatric surgery, and the intersection between obesity and addiction, and has published widely on obesity and related topics. She is an author of the Boston Interview for Bariatric Surgery, and of the official ASMBS Recommendations for the Pre-Surgical Psychosocial Evaluation of Bariatric Surgery Patients. She is the director of the Weight Center rotation for Behavioral Medicine psychology interns and is active in national and international scientific obesity and weight loss surgery societies. Learn to Make Your Patients Laugh with Scott Dikkers of The Onion Published Oct 19, 2021 Last month marked the 20th anniversary of 9/11. Two weeks after that tragic day, The Onion, the famed comedy newspaper, put out an issue with jokes about 9/11. How did they do that? Scott Dikkers, one of The Onion's founders teaches us how. His rule is that comedy is meant to “afflict the comfortable and comfort the afflicted.” That's why they put out that issue. To comfort the afflicted. As physicians, that's what we do! How can we be funny, even in the face of tragedy? Mr. Dikkers teaches comedy writing and has turned what seems unteachable into a science. He has described funny filters and all comedy fits into one of those filters. He teaches us which are the best for the exam room, how to recover from a failed joke, how to work humor into our office visits and lectures, and what jokes comedians can't use, but we can! Scott Dikkers founded the world's first humor website, TheOnion.com, in 1996. A few years earlier he helped found the original Onion newspaper. He's served as The Onion's owner and editor-in-chief, on and off, for much of the last quarter century. He led The Onion's rise from small, unknown college humor publication to internationally respected comedy brand. He is also a New York Times best seller, and Peabody Award winner. He documented his process for creating humor in his book, How to Write Funny, and the second in the series, How to Write Funnier, and next on the way, How to Write Funniest, which are the basis of the Writing with The Onion program he created and teaches at The Second City Training Center in Chicago. Scott offers other courses and free resources for comedy writers on the How to Write Funny website. Did ya know… You can also be a guest on our show?

Scott began his career in the entertainment business with his self-syndicated comic strip, Jim's Journal. The popular college cartoon, comprised of little more than stick figures, spawned a self-published book collection that became a national bestseller. Rolling Stone magazine ranked “Jim” one of America's top ten favorite writers in 1992. Scott continues to draw and animate cartoons under the banner of the Dikkers Cartoon Company. In addition to his other work, Scott is an accomplished voice actor who's performed in many national commercials, video games and animated cartoons, including Saturday Night Live's “TV Funhouse.” He's also written and directed several award-winning short films, and two feature films, Spaceman, and Bad Meat.

I reached out to a friend of mine in fitness, Amanda Ewers, and we discussed an idea "The Onion". Its not about what it represents, but what lies beneath it.

For the past quarter-century, Scott Dikkers has served as The Onion's owner and editor-in-chief.He led The Onion's rise from a small, unknown college humor publication to an internationally respected comedy brand. In 1996, he brought The Onion online by launching TheOnion.com, the world's first humor website. He later co-wrote and edited The Onion's first original books, Our Dumb Century and Our Dumb World -- both New York Times bestsellers.In the mid-2000's, Scott headed up the creation of the legendary "Onion News Network" web series, serving as a director and executive producer, which won a Peabody Award in 2008.On this live call, Scott shared the process he developed for generating award-winning satire. He revealed some lessons on developing a distinct voice that he learned while building one of America's most iconic media companies. On the second half of the call, we invited attendees to unmute and participate in a Q&A.
In this episode, I get to discuss the history of The Onion with founding member Scott Dikkers. Dikkers helped found the original Onion newspaper. He’s served as The Onion’s owner and editor-in-chief, on and off, for much of the last quarter-century. In 1996 Scott founded the website, TheOnion.com . In the mid-2000s, Scott headed up the creation of "The Onion News Network" web series, serving as a director and executive producer. The series gave rise to many viral videos and a TV series on IFC. The web shorts won a Peabody Award in 2008. Scott led The Onion’s rise from a small, unknown college humor publication to an internationally respected comedy brand. He gathered a talented team of writers and editors over the years, working with them to develop The Onion’s culture of creative freedom and brutal honesty, its distinct comic voice, and its reliable process for generating award-winning satire, day after day. In this episode, we discuss the evolution of the Onion and quite a bit more. Today we talk about a variety of ideas, specifically: Early funny TV that caught his eye Digging Dr. Seuss Difference between MAD and Cracked magazine An interesting way that Steve Martin's book Cruel Shoes affected him Conner O'Malley and his unique approach to comedy New publications like the Babylon Bee Niching down into satire and parody How a lawyer went from trying to sue the Onion, to becoming a lawyer for the Onion Hiring people to do the things you don't like to do A typical publication week at the ONION Advice on direction from Baratunde Thurston How Drupal editing almost killed creativity The Onion news segment on Dana Carvey Show hosted by Stephen Colbert The many "almost breakthroughs" while scaling The Onion's reach How a beginner can approach comedy My story about milk and Emo Phillips And much, much, more! Notable Quotes: "Nothing inspires me more than when I see something that's not good." "One of the highest compliments we can pay to a bit, or a joke or whatever is, oh, that's so stupid." On hiring new writers: "Early on, I would take anybody, anybody who came in and showed some eagerness to do it like that was the commodity. The commodity wasn't the writing talent. The commodity is “who's willing to step forward and say, I will try it, I will do it?” On people wanting to write for The Onion "I don't understand why all these people submitting to The Onion don't just start their own publication." On getting started in comedy writing: "It's such a slow, gradual process of starting to do something new and learning a new skill which writing comedy is. It can be tricky for people to get started and see any progress because most people are terrible at it when they start any new skill and comedy writing is no different." "if you don't love it, you'll never succeed at it because you need that love to propel you through those early years when you're stuck."

Comedy writer Cullen Crawford (Colbert, The Onion, ClickHole) teaches us how to survive in the woods, how to really enjoy New Orleans, how to work in a haunted abandoned hospital, how to write the perfect Your Mom joke, how to manage anxiety, and how to nail a job interview by drinking beer and doing push-ups.
The Beaverton's creator/show runner Luke Gordon Field and news anchors Emma Hunter and Miguel Rivas discuss their show and its second season. Sponsored by Pizza Trokadero, the Bookshelf, Planet Bean Coffee, Grandad's Donuts, Freshbooks, and Hello Fresh Canada.
The show begins with a discussion of Ben's recent travels. From there the discussion moves on to obligatory talk about beverages, Canadian and Philadelphia accents, Apple, and other podcasts. The food safety talk begins in earnest with the discussion about what is meant by the words "risk assessment". From there the discussion turns to "food safety programs", restaurant inspections and what customers might want to know, the humor of David Lloyd, and then back to meat safety and proper thermometer use. The show ends with The Onions humorous take on handwashing water temperature. The After Dark contains the usual nonsense including talk about music videos. * [Caldera - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caldera) * [Yellowstone Supervolcano Hit by a Swarm of More Than 400 Earthquakes in One Week](http://www.newsweek.com/yellowstone-supervolcano-earthquake-swarm-eruption-risk-627189) * [Definition of Dingus by Merriam-Webster](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/dingus) * [Foley (filmmaking) - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foley_(filmmaking)) * [pamplemousse - Wiktionary](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/pamplemousse) * [LaCroix Flavors of Sparkling Water, Ranked From Worst to Best - Thrillist](https://www.thrillist.com/drink/nation/la-croix-flavors-sparkling-water) * [HBO: The Wire: Homepage](http://www.hbo.com/the-wire) * [Apple is going to let podcast creators — and advertisers — see what listeners actually like - Recode](https://www.recode.net/2017/6/10/15774936/apple-podcast-analytics-wwdc) * [Merch Save America – Crooked Media](https://getcrookedmedia.com/merch-save-america-5496e5adc995) * [Risk Assessment of Human Listeriosis ](http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/store/10.1111/risa.12649/asset/risa12649.pdf;jsessionid=4594F13E901926E60BF68B54F6E8570A.f03t02?v=1&t=j45ym2x4&s=caa4ca3d042832cf61e99f82c32665f89d7f8173) * [Meat processed overseas, branded Australian faces ban in proposal by Federal crossbenchers](http://www.abc.net.au/news/rural/2017-06-19/mps-propose-australia-branding-ban-for-meat-processed-overseas/8631628) * [Designing a national restaurant inspection disclosure system for New Zealand. - PubMed - NCBI](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22054187) * [Professional Food Manager Practice Quiz - ProProfs Quiz](https://www.proprofs.com/quiz-school/story.php?title=professional-food-manager-practice-exam) * [About Us David Lloyd](https://www.cardiffmet.ac.uk/health/zero2five/about/Pages/David-Lloyd.aspx) * [Lebanese Raw Kibbe Recipe – Kibbeh Nayyeh](http://www.mamaslebanesekitchen.com/meats/lebanese-raw-kibbe-recipe-kibbeh-nayyeh/#sthash.CRMjLJNG.dpbs) * ['Cannibal sandwiches' sicken Wisconsin residents - NBC News](http://www.nbcnews.com/health/cannibal-sandwiches-sicken-wisconsin-residents-2D11703492) * [Meat and Poultry Dialogue - Meridian Institute](http://merid.org/MeatandPoultryDialogue) * [Summer Grilling Graphics - Fight Bac!](http://www.fightbac.org/summer-grilling-graphics/) * [160°F Is Good](https://160isgood.com/) * [Study: Hot Water Not Better For Washing Hands - The Onion - America's Finest News Source](http://www.theonion.com/americanvoices/study-hot-water-not-better-washing-hands-56173) * [The Onion - handwashing post](https://www.facebook.com/TheOnion/posts/10155512816959497) * [Van Halen - Panama (Music Video) - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-NshzYK9y0) * [Taylor Swift - Shake It Off - 1989 African Hipster Version ft.

I wouldn’t mind spending a day or two in the shoes of Mike Sacks. During the day—and probably quite a few nights—he is a mild-mannered writer for Vanity Fair magazine. When he’s not doing that, he’s been interviewing some of the smartest, funniest writers around for his new book, And Here’s the Kicker: Conversations with 21 Top Humor Writers On Their Craft. Mike Sacks Audio Excerpt: "A lot of them are shy and socially awkward. They get used to you and know you do your research. But if I met them at a party, it would have been a car wreck." As a writer myself, this book was irresistible to me; the chance to eavesdrop on Sacks’ Q and A with the guys—and one woman—behind everything from “The Office,” Borat and “Saturday Night Live” to MAD magazine, The Onion and M*A*S*H. Even if you’re not a writer, this is a rich vein to mine for laughs and insight into your favorite pop culture icons.
