Dust off that giant binder of scratched CDs you definitely didn't throw away because apparently funny podcast history has come full circle: physical media is making a comeback.The show kicks off with the surprising resurgence of CDs, with sales jumping while vinyl growth slows down. Why? Turns out paying nearly $40 for a new record eventually makes people reconsider the humble compact disc. Gen Z is getting into CDs, independent record stores are stocking more of them, older cars still have CD players, and there's something comforting about owning music that can't suddenly disappear from a streaming service. Moon also realizes those boxes of old band CDs might not be useless relics after all. Congratulations to everyone who refused to clean out their basement. Your moment has arrived.Then Crap on Celebrities takes us directly into the wildly expensive world of Hollywood memorabilia. A screen-matched mosquito-in-amber prop from the original Jurassic Park sells for more than $400,000, while Christopher Reeve's Superman gear and John Travolta's famous Saturday Night Fever suit also bring ridiculous money at auction.Naturally, this becomes less about collecting important pieces of movie history and more about whether you're morally obligated to PUT THE COSTUME ON.Because if you spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on Superman's costume just to leave it behind glass, what are we even doing here?The crew also gets into entertainment news, including the changing timeline between theatrical releases and streaming, Toy Story 5, a live-action Scooby-Doo prequel, and Ghost taking a hiatus after Tobias Forge admits he doesn't currently have a clear vision for the band's next album. We salute a man willing to say, “I don't know what the next thing is yet,” instead of releasing twelve remixes and a commemorative popcorn bucket.Then there's Grand Theft Auto.The latest massive GTA preview sends the room into gamer mode as the crew talks about the gigantic map, Jason and Lucia's evolving relationship, smarter cops, surveillance cameras, changing disguises, massive police chases and an enormous story that could consume roughly 80 hours of your life.So basically, Rockstar has created a second full-time job, except this one lets you steal cars.The funny podcast chaos keeps rolling with Paris Hilton landing on a list of influential people in artificial intelligence because of her advocacy surrounding privacy and non-consensual AI-generated media. Then the hunt for the next James Bond gives everyone a chance to evaluate candidates with the rigorous casting standards you'd expect from three guys who immediately nominate Mr. Bean.And finally, we tackle one of the most important databases ever assembled: tall and short rock stars.Chris Novoselic. Danny Carey. Mick Fleetwood. Buckethead. Joey Ramone. Billy Corgan. Angus Young. Prince. Glenn Danzig. Stevie Nicks. The measurements are flying, everyone suddenly seems either seven feet tall or legally eligible for a booster seat, and we discover once again that stage presence apparently adds about eight inches.Throw in celebrity birthdays, Luis Guzmán appreciation, Warren Buffett confusion, Charlie Munger confusion, additional Charlie confusion, and the traditional descent into nonsense, and you've got another funny podcast from The Rizzuto Show.Physical media is back. Movie props cost more than retirement. GTA may require PTO. And Danzig is still Danzig at any height.That's enough education for one day.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
3 Minutes Audio Devotional: Wrapped Up in God's Word is All You Need for Your Change to Come
Correct in love
“My lens around style doesn't have anything to do with style anymore — it's about physicality,” says stylist and fashion consultant Stacy London. “What do I want to be able to do? How do I keep myself strong?” Stacy's message has resonated for many women, and for this episode, she joins Dr. Shoshana Ungerleider, host of TED Health, at TED2025 for a special live conversation about why women are so embarrassed to talk about aging. For Stacy, aging became a chance to reassess her relationship to her body, and her experience with menopause and spinal surgery shifted her focus to health and wellbeing. Her best advice on what you can do to feel good in your skin? Throw away the most painful pair of shoes you own. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Noob Spearo Podcast | Spearfishing Talk with Shrek and Turbo
What if becoming a better spearo had less to do with diving deeper or buying better gear—and more to do with learning how to actually see what's happening around you? In this episode, Shrek sits down with commercial fisherman, spearo, hunter and lifelong observer of the natural world Johnny Mitchell, with Johnny's longtime mate Tim McDonald joining the conversation. Johnny has spent decades living, fishing, hunting and observing in the bush and on the water. From commercially chasing Spanish mackerel and mud crabs to living out of a swag, caretaking Cape Capricorn lighthouse and spending countless hours simply watching animals behave, he has developed an extraordinary ability to recognise patterns in the natural world. The conversation explores awareness, natural intelligence, tides, weather, animal behaviour, sensory awareness and pattern recognition—and why asking simplistic questions like "Is the full moon better?" or "Does falling barometric pressure make fish bite?" can actually hold back your learning. Johnny explains why every productive fishing or spearfishing location has its own combination of features and conditions, and why the better question is often: Why were the fish here today—and why weren't they here yesterday? Tim also shares how Johnny's influence has completely changed the way he approaches spearfishing: shooting fewer fish, observing more, recognising short feeding windows and learning to know where to be, when to be there and why. This one goes well beyond spearfishing. It's a conversation about reconnecting with the natural world, waking up dulled senses and becoming less dependent on apps, assumptions and handed-down rules.

Julio Torres and Martine Gutierrez share a knack for building worlds and characters that operate on their own wonderful, absurdist logic. Throw them together, add some sea water, and you get Marina, their new performance commissioned by the Whitney Biennial. Marina begins with a construction worker tossing a smartphone into the ocean and ends with a sea wench possibly discovering the internet. It's like the Little Mermaid, but filtered through the flights of imagination that Torres and Gutierrez have become known for. Torres first came to prominence as a writer for Saturday Night Live, but has since carved out one of the most distinctive creative paths around. He created the TV shows Los Espookys and Fantasmas, and made his feature debut with Problemista, starring Tilda Swinton. His comedy specials, My Favorite Shapes and Color Theories, are less stand-up than windows into the idiosyncratic way he sees the world. Gutierrez, meanwhile, has spent her career transforming identity into an expansive artistic practice. In her series like ANTI-ICON and Supremacy, she uses performance, photography, and self-portraiture to inhabit a range of personas—from Aphrodite to Lady Godiva. It is work that challenges conventional ideas of femininity while celebrating reinvention and fluidity. Marina won't be the first time that Torres and Gutierrez are collaborating. Gutierrez has appeared in both Los Espookys and Fantasmas, where she played the mysterious Vanesja. The pair also share a rapport that is immediate, playful, and unpredictable, as you'll hear in our conversation. Here they are, talking about Marina, first meetings, fictional personas, and for reasons that will soon become clear, the first half of Speed.

Fred from the SubArctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube channel is back with two chilling sibling-reported encounters from remote Alaska, and both stories escalate far beyond a simple glimpse in the woods.The first account comes from Gabe and Rhonda, lifelong berry pickers in their 60s who were gathering berries in Alaska's interior when Gabe dozed off while keeping watch for bears. He woke to something far more unsettling—a large, dark, hairy figure moving along the treeline. What began as a distant sighting quickly turned into a tense retreat as the group raced back on four-wheelers and became convinced the figure was shadowing them, circling through the surrounding woods and staying just out of clear view.Near the parking area, Rhonda fired a pistol shot as the encounter intensified. Then came one of the strangest moments of the night: from the nearby trees, something appeared to mimic a grunt Gabe had made earlier. An older relative with the group offered advice that was simple, eerie, and deeply rooted in experience—ignore it, stay calm, and “sing happy songs.”Fred's second story comes from Tatiana and Nikolai near Yakutat, where the activity was even more aggressive. It began with marble-sized rocks seemingly thrown from the woods, striking Robert and Nikolai. Soon afterward came a shrill sound, a dark figure appearing at a window, and the inexplicable disappearance of a generator. When the generator suddenly came flying back toward Nikolai, the situation took a much more dangerous turn.The encounters continued with a close sighting from the deck of a wrinkled, broad-nosed, hair-covered face staring back at them. Their dog, Roscoe, briefly disappeared. Their skiff was later found overturned. Even after leaving the property, the strange activity wasn't finished. When they eventually returned with a friend, he too was struck by a thrown rock.That was enough. They ultimately sold the property, making sure the new owner knew exactly what had happened there.wo remote locations. Two families. And a series of encounters involving stalking behavior, vocal mimicry, thrown objects, close-range sightings, and something in the Alaskan wilderness that seemed determined to make its presence known.SubArctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube ChannelEmail BrianJoin Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

We are this close to the end…and yet…the best idea that GODS can come up with to stop mortals…is a train car made of chickens. And not even to kill them. To catch them so they can put them to sleep…for some reason. These really are the worst gods in the entire godly pantheon.That being said, they need some sort of bait. Luckily they just brought new life back to Guk Guk. With Guk Guk on one of these trains, surely it will entice them like flies to a pile of poo.Does Scrum still have an affinity for trains?

What if the reason people aren't buying, engaging, staying, or following your lead isn't because they need another motivational poster about "teamwork"? It might be because you have no idea what actually matters to them. In this episode, Erin sits down with David Allison, founder of the Valuegraphics Research Company and author of The Values Map, to talk about why demographics, generic corporate values, and a bunch of buzzwords slapped on an office wall don't tell us nearly as much as we think they do. David shares how understanding what matters most to people can make you a better leader, marketer, salesperson, and overall human trying to get other humans to do things. They also dig into how to uncover someone's real values without creepily asking, "So...what are your deepest values?" and why values alignment might explain why certain jobs, people, opportunities, and even parties just click while others make you want to fake a babysitter emergency and leave. In this episode, you'll hear: Why corporate values often become expensive wallpaper and what actually motivates employees Three questions that reveal what matters most to someone without turning the conversation into a therapy session How to use curiosity and the "Third Why" to get past surface-level small talk Why understanding someone's values can make selling, leading, and influencing a whole lot easier How David realized the traditional definition of success was basically a lie for him and why building your work around what matters most can make it suck significantly less Resources Mentioned in the Episode: Check out David's Website: www.davidallisoninc.com Learn more about Value Graphics: www.valuegraphics.com Pre-order David's book, "The Values Map: Discover What Drives You and How to Move Others" Follow David on LinkedIn at davidallisoninc/ Book Erin to speak Ready to modernize your culture, liberate your leadership, and differentiate your business without sounding like every other company on LinkedIn?

Tweetable Comments "What matters most to us drives everything we do." "Your corporate values are not the human values of the people who are showing up at your corporation." "Authenticity is, I'm gonna say, not a value, it's the end result of values alignment." "It was, 10 years of living a lie that I didn't know was a lie, because I'd only been taught that this was the truth." Podcast Transcript Erin Hatzikostas sits down with David Allison, founder of the Valuegraphics Research Company, to explore what really motivates people at work. They unpack the difference between corporate values and human values, how leaders and salespeople can discover what matters most to someone, why values alignment influences engagement and decision-making, and how understanding your own values can help you build a career that actually fits. Why "Values" Might Be the Wrong Word Erin: What's the biggest misconception you get when people call you the values guy or talk about the research you do around values? David: One of the biggest confusions is just the word values. We're all used to sitting in boardrooms talking about mission, vision, values. The CEO sends out the annual note saying they've finally figured out the corporate values, and usually they're the same as everybody else's corporate values. They go up on the wall behind the receptionist, everybody's happy, and then they're forgotten about 24 hours later. We also run around talking about what we think our values are. Politicians tell us what our values are. So I actually don't love using the word anymore. What works better is asking: What matters most? What matters most to you? What matters most to your customers? What matters most to your employees? That gets much closer to the kind of values I'm researching. Erin: And it feels more distinctive too. Instead of asking somebody for five or ten values, you can start with one or two things that really matter. David: Exactly. Through our research, we've identified 56 values. And the interesting thing is that you can't simply ask people what their values are, because they'll either intentionally or unintentionally tell you what they want their values to be, or what they want you to think their values are. Instead, you ask about behavior. What do you do all day? How do you feel about this thing? What does this topic mean to you? When you listen to what people are actually doing and start mapping their behaviors, you can work backward and understand what matters most to them. What Hockey Can Tell You About Someone's Values David: I'm Canadian, so let's use hockey. If somebody says they're a hockey fan, don't just stop there. Ask how often they go to games. Do they watch at home? Who do they watch with? Friends? Family? Do they take clients to games? Do they own a jersey? If their team gets eliminated, will they cheer for another team or stop watching completely? You're asking them about something they're excited to talk about. But underneath their answers, you're hearing their values. If they refuse to cheer for another team, maybe loyalty matters a lot to them. If every hockey experience involves their friends but never their family, that tells you something about the relative importance of friendship and family in that context. You listen to what people do, and from there you start to see what matters most. Erin: That's the legit researcher part. You're discerning the thing without actually asking them the thing. The Pink Van: Why Assumptions About People Get Us in Trouble Erin: Let's make this practical. Our listeners might be in sales, leadership, or running businesses. How does this help somebody market better, sell more, or become a better leader? David: I'll give you an example from our research. I was preparing for a keynote for a group of employers in the blue-collar trades. They were dealing with a major talent shortage and wanted to understand how to get more people interested in joining the trades. Our research found that people considering careers in the trades dramatically over-indexed around a value called service to others. They wanted to know they were doing something that helped people and made a difference. The employers were already talking about things like earning more money, getting out of shift work, and avoiding the cost of college. Those are logical benefits. But they weren't saying, "This is your chance to be in a helping profession." After my keynote, a business owner came up to me. He had seven offices across the Southern United States with fleets of service vans. In each fleet, one van was painted pink, and all of the money earned by that van went toward breast cancer research because of a personal story involving his wife. I thought that was the story. He said, "No. The real story is that every day my guys fight over who gets to be in the pink van." Erin: Wow. David: Think about that. If you were marketing to people in the trades based on stereotypes, would you ever have gotten to pink vans? Probably not. You'd be talking about football, tailgates, country music, or whatever other assumptions you had about the audience. But the answer was pink vans. There's almost always a pink van in the research. Something that makes you say, "We never would have guessed that, but now it makes complete sense." When you understand what matters most to people, you can use it to market, motivate, inspire, build policies, engage employees, and make strategic decisions. Three Questions That Reveal What Matters Most Erin: What about people who can't hire your company to conduct a big research study? What questions could they ask employees or clients to get closer to this information themselves? David: We have three questions we call the three telltale questions. We've tested versions of them with people around the world. The important part is that you don't ask one person once and assume you've figured everything out. Ask a lot of people and listen for patterns. Those patterns are the signals in the noise. That's where the values start bubbling to the surface. David: The first question is: Why do you go to work? Someone might immediately say, "To pay my bills." Fine. Ask why else. Maybe their friends are there. Maybe work is their creative outlet. Maybe they feel like they're making a difference. Maybe it's where they feel useful. They're telling you why they choose to spend such a huge portion of their life doing this thing. The second question is: Why would you give away half of your lottery winnings? If someone says they wouldn't, tell them to imagine they won a lottery where giving away half was required. Then ask where they'd give it and why. That's a major behavioral decision. The "why" behind it is usually a value talking. The third question is: If you could send one message to yourself 10 years ago, what would it be? Listen to whether they talk about family, friendship, work, stress, money, kids, health, or something else. Whatever comes up tells you something about what matters most to them. Erin: That's really good. The Values Corporate America Often Misses Erin: Is there a value corporations tend to underestimate? Something that leaders might not put in their top five, but your research shows matters a lot? David: Every workforce is different, so I wouldn't prescribe one value to every company. But there is a cluster that appears again and again. Of the 56 values we've identified, five show up constantly across different industries and groups. We call them the togetherness values: belonging, family, friendship, relationships, and community. Those aren't interchangeable. Belonging is different from community. Community is different from relationships. Companies tend to lump them all together, but you need to understand which one actually matters to your people. The broader point is that humans want some form of connection. So look at your employee research, surveys, hallway conversations, and everything else you already know about your workforce. Which form of togetherness seems to matter most? Then lean into it. David: Because here's the secret to everything: What matters most to us drives everything we do. If you want people to be more engaged, stop quitting, or actually care about the work they're doing, you have to give them more of what matters most. Your Corporate Values Are Not Your Employees' Human Values David: One of the biggest mistakes corporations make is spending two years and millions of dollars figuring out their corporate values and then wondering why employees aren't behaving according to them. Your corporate values are not the human values of the people who are showing up at your corporation. You've only done half the job. The company might decide creativity is one of its core values. Great. But suppose personal growth is one of the strongest human values among your employees. Now you need to connect the dots. Show employees how being creative at work helps them grow as people. Explain why the behavior you're asking for gives them more of something that already matters deeply to them. If you don't make that connection, they'll look at "creativity" written on the wall and think, "Okay, whatever. That doesn't matter to me." Corporate values might actually be better described as guiding principles or a list of ways the organization wants people to behave. Stop Turning Values Into Expensive Wallpaper Erin: You just hit one of my hot spots. It's not enough to say you're a "family-first organization." Tell people what that actually means. Maybe it means you're not expecting someone to answer emails from the soccer field. Maybe leaders who have ideas over the weekend schedule the email to go out Monday instead of firing it off immediately. Specificity is what makes those values feel real. Even something like safety can be communicated in a more human way. Instead of just saying, "We believe in OSHA adherence," explain that you want people to leave work safely and go home to grill burgers with their family that night. It's not just about the value. It's about how you talk about it and how you put it into action. I recently talked to a company whose mantra was "grit and gratitude." I loved that because it's only two things, it's memorable, and there's a little juxtaposition between them. Companies sometimes think more is better. Maybe you're better off choosing one or two things and going deeper. David: I like grit and gratitude because it doesn't sound like everybody else. Under those two ideas, you can still have many different behaviors and principles. But at least there's something distinctive to connect to. How Understanding Values Tripled a Fundraising Target Erin: What's one example where an organization used your research and made a change that had a really profound impact? David: We worked with a hospital foundation in Canada that wanted to attract more high-net-worth donors and increase the size of their gifts. We profiled people in the community who had previously donated to health-related causes but had never donated to this particular foundation. An interesting pattern emerged. Many of the prospective donors were women who had recently been widowed and, for the first time in their lives, were making major financial decisions independently. Our research showed how important that newfound independence and agency were to them. So the foundation changed its approach. Instead of saying, "Here's where your money is going," they said, essentially, "Your gift could help us in several different ways. Which area would you like your money to support?" They sat down with donors and let them decide what mattered to them. By giving those women agency over the decision, the foundation tripled its fundraising target. Erin: Wow. David: They framed their strategy, marketing, and messaging around what mattered most to those people. The decision suddenly became an easy yes because the organization wasn't just asking for money. It was giving people an opportunity to act on something they deeply valued. What Values Alignment Feels Like Erin: I think about this in my own life too. When I was evaluating financial advisors, it was amazing how few people seemed interested in understanding what mattered to me. For me, I wanted someone I could actually connect with and have real conversations with. Not a bunch of BS. If somebody had simply asked me what was most important to me, I would have basically handed them the answer to how to sell to me. David: And here's what's interesting about those situations. When you find a person, product, job, or situation that genuinely aligns with what matters most to you, you often notice the absence of things. You're not second-guessing yourself. You're not lying awake at night running the pros and cons through your head. You're not constantly trying to convince yourself to make the relationship work. It just works. Erin: It clicks into place like a Lego. David: Exactly. Think about parties. There are parties where you walk in and immediately think, "Nope. How quickly can we leave?" And then there are parties where you want to stay all night. You may not be able to explain exactly why. Maybe it's the people, the music, the room, the energy, or some combination of all of it. But something about that environment aligns with what matters to you. Is Authenticity a Value? Erin: This is where your work and mine dovetail. People are craving something they can connect to, whether it's a salesperson, a leader, or a company. Wallpaper corporate values aren't enough. You need specificity, examples, and authenticity. Give people something they can plug into so they can determine whether it aligns with them. And it's actually better if someone can clearly say, "No, this doesn't align with me," than to give them nothing but vanilla and leave them thinking, "I don't know." David: You said earlier that authenticity might be the 57th value. I'm going to reframe that. Authenticity is, I'm gonna say, not a value, it's the end result of values alignment. If you're living authentically, you're living according to what matters most to you. Erin: I think authenticity might also be part of how you uncover the values in the first place. It's the stories, uncommon language, specificity, and willingness to actually expose who you are that allow people to feel what those values really mean. David: I think we're talking about the same thing from different layers. You're looking at the umbrella. I'm down in the weeds. The Question That Changed a High-Stakes Negotiation Erin: I have a story about the phrase "what matters most." When I became interim CEO, I had to renegotiate our largest contract. The vendor wanted more money, and giving it to them could have made an already difficult financial situation much worse. It was high stakes, and I'm not exactly known for being a giant planner. Early in the first conversation, I asked the executive, "What matters most to you in this negotiation?" He wasn't expecting the question, so he answered honestly. His company expected to pursue an IPO, and long-term contracts were incredibly important because investors would want confidence that major clients weren't about to leave. Suddenly, I understood that this negotiation wasn't only about price. A long-term agreement mattered tremendously to him. Switching vendors would have been incredibly difficult for us anyway, so I was perfectly comfortable discussing a long-term contract. That one question completely changed what I understood about the negotiation. David: "What matters most to you about this situation?" or "What matters most to you about this outcome?" are fantastic questions in sales and negotiations. But you can also learn a lot by simply paying attention and being curious. How to Discover Someone's Values Through Small Talk David: Let's use you as an example. There's a photo behind you. What's it a picture of? Erin: My family. My husband and my two children. David: And I can see books behind you. What's one of the most recent books you added? Erin: Probably Fans First by Jesse Cole from the Savannah Bananas. David: Are you a baseball fan? Erin: Not specifically. I'm a big sports fan, though. David: Where did that come from? Erin: My grandmother. She passed away when she was 62, so I was only 11. But I remember sitting in her living room with her. She was about 4'11", sitting in a green leather chair beside the dialysis machine she used at home, smoking a cigarette with a police scanner nearby. She lived in a town of about 800 people, so I'm not sure how much exciting police activity there was to scan. And she always had sports on. She didn't just watch sports. She participated. She yelled at the TV. She was spicy. She absolutely hated Notre Dame, so I still hate Notre Dame today basically as an ode to her. For a woman of her generation, being that passionate about sports was unusual. And I think that's where I got it. The other reason I still love sports is the authenticity of it. Nobody knows what's going to happen. It's not scripted. I love the energy and unpredictability. I also love the lack of commitment. I can watch and leave whenever I want. David: That little conversation already gave me several clues. Family is important to you. Creativity is clearly there. I hear some tradition in the way you talk about carrying your grandmother's influence forward. Experiences are important to you. The way you described sitting in that room with your grandmother is incredibly vivid. And when you said you like being able to leave whenever you want, independence came roaring to the forefront. Erin: One thousand percent. And what's interesting is that most people stop too soon. They see the family photo and ask, "Are those your kids?" Or they notice something from Michigan and ask, "Are you from Michigan?" But then they stop. To uncover what matters to someone, you have to be genuinely curious enough to ask the next question. The Third Why David: There's a technique I call The Third Why. You might ask somebody why they chose to have a family photo taken at a particular place. They'll give you an answer. Then you ask why that mattered. And then you go one level deeper again. Three whys down is often where people start telling you about a value. The first answer is usually surface level. The second starts getting somewhere. By the third, you're getting closer to what is actually driving the decision. Erin: That's the key. You can't necessarily plan all of those questions ahead of time. You have to actually listen and be curious enough to follow where the answer goes. When the Traditional Definition of Success Stops Working Erin: We ask everyone for a "buck that" story, meaning a time when you bucked the norm, stopped following the expected path, and did something different. What's yours? David: Quitting the big company and going out on my own. That was scary. I remember the first days working from home, finding all kinds of ways to stall. Making sure the pencils were in exactly the right place. Rearranging things. Eventually you realize there's nothing left to organize. You actually have to do the work. But as we've been talking about, I have an independence streak a mile wide. I once told my coach I couldn't understand why I wasn't getting anything done even though I had deadlines everywhere. He asked if I'd blocked the work on my calendar. I said yes. He asked, "So why aren't you doing what's on your calendar?" And I realized: because I don't want my calendar telling me what to do. Erin: Because you told yourself to do it, and now yourself can't tell you what to do. David: Exactly. My calendar is bossing me around, and I'm resisting my own calendar. That independence was one of the values pushing me toward working for myself. The Day David Couldn't Get on the Elevator Erin: Was there traditional career advice you followed for a while and eventually realized wasn't right for you? David: Keep your job. Why would you work for yourself and rely on your own ability to earn a living when you could get a steady paycheck every two weeks? I grew up at a time when the path to success seemed much narrower. It felt like the goal was to become the CEO of Coca-Cola. Erin: Or become a consultant to the CEO of Coca-Cola. Those were basically the two business models we knew. David: Exactly. The world told me I was supposed to run as fast as possible up the corporate ladder. Learn to love the suits and ties. Play the politics. Run a board. Eventually I realized it wasn't working for me. I actually had a breakdown. I was working for a big company and one morning I was standing in the elevator lobby waiting to go upstairs. I couldn't get on the elevator. It felt like there was a physical barrier in front of me. I could not make myself get on that elevator and go face everything waiting upstairs. So I turned around, went home, and called in to say, "I don't think I'm coming back." It took me almost a year to recover from that and start building what I needed to build on my own. David: It was 10 years of living a lie that I didn't know was a lie, because I'd only been taught that this was the truth. When I finally figured out it wasn't the truth, at least not for me, it was like being slapped across the face. That's something I try to pass along now. Whatever the internet tells you, Instagram tells you, your parents tell you, or society tells you is the path to success is only useful if it's actually your path to success. Figure out what matters most to you. Figure out your values. Then craft your version of life and run in that direction. Erin: And the experience you went through is part of what allows you to give that lesson to somebody else now. David Allison's Advice for Making Work Suck Less Erin: What's your final piece of advice for making work suck less? David: Find ways to make your work more about what matters to you. Volunteer for that project. Take the extra assignment that aligns with you. When you can, move away from the work that doesn't. Even if you're working inside a set of constraints and don't have much flexibility, almost everybody has some ability to maneuver. You can choose what you're going to lean into and what you're not. Make your work more about what matters most to you, and you'll be happier.
Bryan Kohberger's defense team has recently filed motions to suppress certain evidence ahead of his August 11, 2025, trial for the 2022 murders of four University of Idaho students. A former FBI special agent characterized these efforts as attempts to create an "illusion" of a weak prosecution case, aiming to influence potential jurors. The defense sought to exclude terms like "psychopath" and "sociopath" from the trial, a request partially granted by Judge Steven Hippler, who ruled such labels require expert validation. Additionally, the defense's motion to omit Kohberger's 2020 essay on crime scene handling was denied, and the judge indicated that the 911 call from the victims' roommate would likely be admitted, albeit possibly in a redacted formThe defense also argued that prosecutors were delaying discovery, a claim undermined when they acknowledged receiving all requested materials. Experts suggest these tactics aim to delay proceedings and cast doubt on the prosecution's case. Former FBI agent Jonathan Gilliam noted that the defense appears more focused on portraying the prosecution's case as insufficient rather than asserting Kohberger's innocence. Similarly, former D.C. homicide detective Ted Williams observed that the defense is employing a strategy of challenging various aspects of the case, hoping to find elements that might resonate with the jury.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Bryan Kohberger case: Fmr FBI agent says defense is trying to create 'illusion' | Fox News

Rizz officially turned 48, which means it's time to celebrate the only way responsible middle-aged adults know how: announce that birthdays are stupid, eat olives, drink approximately nine birthday beers, stay out until 1:45 in the morning and immediately begin discussing whether birthdays should be banned altogether next year.Lern returns from Nashville after one of her favorite trips with Tim, complete with cowboy boots, Broadway people-watching and a Foo Fighters show at Nissan Stadium that was approximately three degrees cooler than walking directly into a pizza oven. She missed Queens of the Stone Age thanks to dinner running late and a forgotten phone, but made it for Foo Fighters, Shane West randomly appearing during the band's trip through its members' musical histories, and a romantic finish listening from the pedestrian bridge while fireworks went off. Cute. Disgusting. We're happy for them.Guns N' Roses had their own weather problems when storms forced the band to shorten the Busch Stadium show. Naturally, this leads to the important journalistic question: if you're Guns N' Roses and rain is coming, HOW DO YOU NOT IMMEDIATELY PLAY “NOVEMBER RAIN”? We don't make the rules. Actually, apparently neither do they.Pin-Up Bowl goes from Rizz worrying nobody will show up to being absolutely packed. The special Dangler beer flows freely. Rizz receives spaghetti-and-meatball dangler earrings, another signed Don Mattingly baseball and a massive strawberry birthday cake featuring a photo of Rizz with a truly breathtaking hair situation. There's bowling, questionable decisions and eventually a migration to Delmar Hall — except for Scott, whom everyone insists they didn't abandon collectively. They merely abandoned him individually.At Delmar Hall, the Blink-182 tribute brings the hits, Bangs Against the Machine brings the Rage, Rizz keeps getting handed beverages, and eventually Mrs. Rizzuto performs the evening's most important public service by shutting down the birthday shots before somebody had to replace another shower curtain.Then comes the Quincy lottery story.Rizz brings up a movie theory that sounds just believable enough to ruin your productivity for the next hour: could The Goonies and Back to the Future take place on the exact same day?Back to the Future establishes October 26, 1985. Meanwhile, clues in The Goonies appear to place its adventure right around that same Saturday. Coincidence? Intentional cinematic universe? Evidence that Chunk was one DeLorean ride away from completely destroying the space-time continuum? We investigate with exactly the level of academic rigor you'd expect from this program.Then Brian arrives with enough food to turn the studio into a French bakery: croissants, bread, ham and Swiss, smoked deviled eggs and more. This comes after the gigantic birthday cake he'd already made for Rizz, because apparently we're now trying to see whether a radio host can be defeated entirely by carbohydrates.Nate Bargatze also sets a massive comedy ticket-sales record, sending Rafe and the crew into a genuinely interesting conversation about club comedy versus arena comedy. Rafe explains why smaller rooms create that perfect pressure cooker of laughs while superstar comics eventually reach a level where playing a 200-seat club makes about as much financial sense as opening a lemonade stand inside Costco.The entertainment conversation keeps rolling into movies, celebrity stories and eventually Brad Pitt declaring that bad acting is so distracting he can't watch porn. This results in Rafe questioning Brad Pitt's acting credentials and nearly getting thrown off the show by everyone else. The crew debates whether Pitt is actually an elite actor, just exceptionally talented at playing Brad Pitt, or both.The crew surprises him with cards carefully selected to remind him that he's old, grouchy and one year closer to death. Lern gives him a Tommy Wiseau pasta spoon. Then Rafe produces Italian rainbow cookies from Sweet Seven Layers, delivered by a New York/Jersey baker who listens to the show and apparently understands exactly how to win over a “greasy meatball” birthday boy.Sweet Seven Layers has everybody losing their minds over traditional Italian rainbow cookies, pistachio and blackberry creations, cherry amaretto and enough sugar to make Moon openly admit he's buzzing.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima dissect Shedeur Sanders' interception against Chicago, playing Chase Daniel's viral (and widely mocked) explanation that a sweaty center's rear end made the ball slip out of Sanders' hand. Ken argues a full year of excuse-making around Sanders has made fans reflexively skeptical of any explanation, even plausible ones, while conceding the mistake itself wasn't egregious on its own. Callers Jim and Adam push back hard, with Jim arguing Sanders should be able to handle a wet ball and pointing to a lack of a real path to winning at quarterback this year, while Adam ridicules the butt-sweat theory outright, prompting an extended, increasingly absurd tangent about center sweat, powder versus spray, and Todd Monken needing to rank his centers by perspiration level.

Welcome to Day 2927 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2927 – Wisdom Nuggets – Proverbs 1:8-19 Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2927 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2927 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. The title for today's Wisdom-Trek is: The Crown of Instruction and the Trap of Ill-Gotten Gain On our previous episode, on Day Two Thousand Nine Hundred Twenty-Five, we stepped over the threshold into the Book of Proverbs, establishing the fundamental cornerstone of all true knowledge: the reverent fear of the Lord. We discovered that Solomon wrote this royal manual to train leaders, giving us applied skill—chokmah—to navigate life's complex trails. Today, as we advance onto Day Two Thousand Nine Hundred Twenty-Seven of our trek, we move from the grand royal courtroom right into the intimate setting of the home. Here, the very first lesson in Solomon's curriculum is delivered not by a distant monarch, but by loving parents. Having spent over fifty years focusing on and studying Biblical wisdom, and having accumulated seventy years of life experiences—seeing families thrive and seeing lives unravel—I can assure you that the foundational lessons learned at home determine the trajectory of your entire life. Let us open our ears to the tender, yet urgent counsel found in Proverbs chapter one, verse eight, and verse nine. My child, listen when your father corrects you. Don't neglect your mother's instruction. What you learn from them will crown you with grace and be a chain of honor around your neck. In these two verses, Solomon frames true education as a sacred, generational partnership between father and mother. Notice the language he uses: "listen when your father corrects you" and "don't neglect your mother's instruction." In the ancient Near Eastern world, and specifically within the Ancient Israelite divine-council worldview, the family was not merely a social convenience; it was designed as the primary earthly sanctuary! Yahweh established the family unit as the foundational training ground where young image-bearers learn covenant loyalty, moral discipline, and respect for authority. When parents align their hearts with the Creator, their home becomes an earthly reflection of heaven's council, transmitting life-giving wisdom to the next generation. Solomon promises that when a child embraces this home-grown wisdom, it becomes like a garland or a crown of grace upon their head, and a chain of honor around their neck! In ancient times, royal jewels and golden chains were worn by dignitaries to signal authority, dignity, and high status. Solomon is making a stunning point: true honor is not bought with money or seized through raw ambition; it is cultivated through humble, obedient listening to wise instruction in the home. Over my seventy years on this earth, I have seen this proven time and time again—the young men and women who honor the disciplined wisdom of their upbringing walk through life with an undeniable, graceful dignity that no earthly wealth can ever purchase. Yet, as soon as a young person steps outside the protective doorway of the family home, another voice begins to shout from the dark alleys of the world. Solomon immediately prepares his student for the intense spiritual and cultural warfare awaiting them in the public square, grouping together the ominous warning found in Proverbs chapter one, verses ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, and fourteen. My child, if sinners entice you, turn your back on them! They may say, “Come and join us. Let's hide and kill someone! Just for fun, let's ambush the innocent! Let's swallow them alive, like the grave; let's swallow them whole, like those who go down to the pit of death. Think of the great things we'll get! We'll fill our houses with all the plunder. Come, throw in your lot with us; we'll all share one purse.” Look at the terrifying, predatory nature of this temptation! Solomon doesn't beat around the bush; he exposes the raw, ugly anatomy of peer pressure and wicked enticement. These enticers—these "sinners"—do not offer honest labor or disciplined craft; they promise instant wealth through violence, ambush, and exploitation. Notice the graphic, horrific imagery they use: "Let's swallow them alive, like the grave; let's swallow them whole, like those who go down to the pit of death." In the ancient worldview, "the grave"—Sheol—and "the pit" represented the chaotic, ravenous underworld, ruled by dark, rebellious spiritual powers that craved destruction, bloodshed, and disorder. When men gather to prey upon the innocent, they are literally acting as earthly agents of those dark, chaotic principalities! They lure the naive youth with two powerful, intoxicating lies: solidarity and instant riches. They cry, "Throw in your lot with us; we'll all share one purse!" Over my fifty years of studying wisdom and observing human nature across seven decades of living, I have watched countless young people fall into this exact trap. The temptation to belong to a powerful group, combined with the lure of effortless, shortcut wealth, has destroyed more lives, ruined more legacies, and shattered more families than almost anything else on the trail. The gang, the predatory business scheme, the corrupt political circle—they all use the same siren song. But Solomon gives the simplest, most direct command possible in verse ten: "If sinners entice you, turn your back on them!" Don't negotiate; don't debate; don't linger in their presence—turn around and walk away! Having exposed the seductive rhetoric of the violent gang, Solomon now pulls back the curtain to reveal the inescapable, self-destructive reality of their chosen path, linking together the contiguous thoughts in Proverbs chapter one, verses fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, and nineteen. My child, do not go along with them, do not set foot on their path; for their feet rush into evil, they are swift to shed blood. How useless to spread a net where every bird can see it! These men lie in wait for their own blood; they ambush only themselves! Such are the paths of all who go after ill-gotten gain; it takes away the life of those who get it. Solomon delivers a masterclass in spiritual cause-and-effect! He warns, "Do not set foot on their path." In Hebrew thought, life is pictured as a path or a journey—a trek! Every single decision you make takes you one step further down a specific trail. Once you take that first step onto the path of compromise, your momentum accelerates; "their feet rush into evil, they are swift to shed blood." Moral decline is rarely a sudden cliff; it is a steep, slippery slope that drags you faster than you ever intended to go. Then, Solomon uses a brilliant, parabolic illustration from nature: "How useless to spread a net where every bird can see it!" Even a simple bird has enough sense to fly away if it sees a hunter spreading a net in plain sight. But these greedy, violent men are actually stupider than birds! Why? Because in their blind, delusional rush for plunder, they fail to see that the net they are spreading is going to catch them! Solomon reveals a profound cosmic truth: "These men lie in wait for their own blood; they ambush only themselves!" In Yahweh's universe, moral evil contains the seeds of its own destruction. The divine order is structured in such a way that those who dig a pit for the innocent end up falling directly into it. Solomon summarizes this universal law of wisdom in verse nineteen: "Such are the paths of all who go after ill-gotten gain; it takes away the life of those who get it." The Hebrew word for ill-gotten gain is betza—wealth extracted through extortion, violence, dishonesty, or greedy shortcuts. In my seventy years of life, I have seen many people acquire betza. They thought they were getting rich, but in reality, that dishonest wealth became a spiritual cancer that consumed their peace, destroyed their health, fractured their homes, and ultimately took away their very life. Ill-gotten gain promises freedom, but it delivers a coffin. As we reflect on these powerful twelve verses of Proverbs chapter one, the choice presented to us on life's trek could not be clearer. We can choose the quiet, graceful crown of parental instruction, rooted in the fear of the Lord; or we can choose the fast, treacherous path of greedy shortcuts that leads straight into a trap of our own making. True legacy is never built on ill-gotten gain; it is built step-by-step through humble discipline, integrity, and covenant loyalty to the...

Somebody in Quincy, Illinois just became insanely rich, somebody else allegedly treated a Morgan Wallen concert like his own personal bathroom, and somehow that's only the beginning of today's Rizzuto Show.The crew kicks things off with the massive Powerball jackpot and the one winning ticket sold in Quincy, Illinois. Naturally, instead of simply congratulating this newly minted billionaire and moving along like mature adults, we immediately start spending their money for them. Lump sum or annuity? Buy an island or stay in the same house? Disappear forever or become the richest tractor enthusiast in the Midwest? This funny podcast tackles all the responsible financial questions that absolutely nobody should trust us to answer.Moon also wonders whether the mystery winner could somehow be his cousin, which leads to dreams of farmland, giant gardens, tractors, demolition derby cars and the kind of billionaire lifestyle that says, “Yes, I have generational wealth, but I still know how to fix this carburetor.”Then things take a hard turn. And by “hard turn,” we mean the kind of conversational detour only The Rizzuto Show could make.We get an update on Michael Phillips, the North Carolina man who previously went viral for openly discussing his micropenis condition and is now preparing for an enhancement procedure. Rizz actually donated to the crowdfunding campaign, because apparently this show occasionally uses its powers for good between making every possible inappropriate joke about the situation.From there, welcome to The Urine Chronicles.The man accused of urinating on seated concertgoers during a Morgan Wallen show has finally been arrested, reopening one of the great philosophical debates of our time: what exactly are you legally, morally and spiritually allowed to do when a stranger starts peeing on you? Rizz has some thoughts. Rafe has some extremely specific defensive strategies. Lern consults the internet. Moon attempts to introduce reason into the discussion, which—as longtime listeners know—is usually where everything goes wrong.There's also a trip through history as the crew marks the anniversary of the Berlin Wall going up, complete with escape stories, Moon's memories of visiting Berlin and the historically impeccable reminder that David Hasselhoff personally brought the whole thing down. Please do not cite this funny podcast in your dissertation.Then it's time for Crap on Celebrities, featuring Diddy's prison update and a debate over whether celebrities can ever truly become untouchable after major scandals. The crew gets into Ozzy Osbourne's “Crazy Train” passing one billion Spotify streams, new Phoebe Bridgers music, upcoming rock documentaries, Jason Sudeikis joining Mumford & Sons for the Ted Lasso theme, Seinfeld remaining comfort-food television, Rory Scovel's comedy special, Star Wars fatigue, Ewan McGregor's willingness to return as Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Julie Andrews stepping away from Princess Diaries 3.Plus, celebrity fan encounters get deeply weird. Dolly Parton once had a baby left on her doorstep. The Jonas Brothers received a preserved baby shark. Rupert Grint apparently accepted an invitation to party with drag queens until 4 a.m. And James McAvoy got presented with perhaps the most direct hall-pass proposal imaginable.Throw in birthdays, St. Louis references, inappropriate detours and enough pop culture commentary to make your search history look deeply concerning, and you've got another funny podcast from The Rizzuto Show.Come for the billion-dollar dreams.

Rizz went to Busch Stadium expecting a Cardinals game and maybe a nice afternoon with the crew. What he got instead was Don Mattingly, surprise adoption paperwork, thousands of witnesses and a chance to finally erase 16 years of baseball-related humiliation. So yeah, pretty standard Wednesday.The day starts with the important journalism you've come to expect from this funny podcast: stadium nachos and what they can do to the human digestive system when a grown man refuses to respect the warning signs. King Scott had to leave the show after apparently going a little too hard on the food the day before, which naturally sends Rafe down memory lane to his own infamous stadium-nacho incident. There are some memories you cherish forever. Others apparently require abandoning your underwear.Then Rizz explains what actually happened at Busch Stadium.He thought the crew was simply heading down for a Cardinals game and getting some field access. That's already a pretty great afternoon. Then they get onto the field, Rizz spots Don Mattingly near the Phillies dugout and suddenly everybody starts putting microphones on.Suspicious? Sure.Effective? Absolutely.Because Don Mattingly isn't just another baseball player to Rizz. This is THE childhood hero. The guy whose poster was on his wall. The Yankees legend who immediately turns a professional radio host into an 11-year-old kid capable of rattling off 1980s baseball statistics like he's being held hostage by the back of a Topps card.And somehow that's only the beginning.The crew reveals that Don Mattingly has agreed to adopt Rizz for one day. There is paperwork. There are conditions. There is apparently more thought put into this fake adoption than we've put into several legitimate business decisions.Why the adoption?Because 16 years earlier, Rizz threw out a ceremonial first pitch at Busch Stadium and launched the baseball over the catcher's head and toward the color guard in front of a packed stadium. His parents were there. The crowd collectively reacted. The shame survived longer than several popular social media platforms.Now he gets another chance.One pitch.From the mound.Throw a strike and Don Mattingly recognizes Rizz as his son for the remainder of the day. Miss, and the adoption gets immediately annulled while the Rizzuto bloodline remains publicly disgraced.This funny podcast suddenly became the final 10 minutes of a baseball movie nobody knew they were watching.Then comes the introduction. Busch Stadium PA announcer John Hewlett reads an absolutely enormous setup explaining Rizz's original failure, his father, his 16 years of shame, Don Mattingly's temporary paternity and the consequences of another miss. Meanwhile Rizz has to stand there on the big screen waiting to throw the baseball while the introduction simply refuses to end.Eventually, there is nowhere left to hide.Rizz steps onto the mound.He throws.STRIKE.Right down the middle.Hunter Dobbins barely has to move his glove. Fredbird runs out. Everybody loses their minds. Rizz drops down and looks toward the sky thinking about his dad, and suddenly this ridiculous bit the crew had been planning turns into a genuinely incredible moment.Naturally, we can't remain emotionally healthy for long.The celebration leads directly back into jokes about Papa Don abandoning his newly adopted son, the Hubbard suite the show apparently wasn't originally invited to, and the staggering quantity of food consumed by people who knew perfectly well they eventually had to leave an air-conditioned room and walk back into St. Louis heat.It's sentimental. It's stupid. It's baseball. It's stomach problems. It's Don Mattingly becoming somebody's temporary father. In other words, it's exactly the kind of emotional whiplash this funny podcast specializes in.Episode 48 of The Rizzuto Show: come for the redemption story, stay because somebody has to make sure Rafe survives the buffet.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Wisconsin Democrats just rejected the socialist who wanted to cancel Thanksgiving and abolish the police. David Crowley, the Milwaukee County executive and late establishment choice, narrowly beat Francesca Hong by just over 3,200 votes out of more than 787,000 cast. Polls had shown the Democratic Socialist of America member leading by double digits heading into Election Day. Hong, who once posted, “Cancel Thanksgiving. Should have done this in 1621,” and declared, “Police exist to uphold white supremacy. Defund then abolish,” had been walking those statements back hard in the final stretch. Critics on both sides warned her past radical comments would hand the governor's mansion to Republicans in November. Even Bernie Sanders and AOC kept their distance. Crowley positioned himself as the moderate alternative, warning that a lot of people were scared of where the party and the country were headed under candidates like Hong. This primary result is another data point in the ongoing fight over how far left the Democratic Party is willing to go — and whether regular voters will tolerate it.

St. Louis woke up to a hazardous-material fire, a mysterious chemical cloud drifting through the Metro East, and instructions to shelter in place during weather hot enough to turn your house into a Crock-Pot. Naturally, The Rizzuto Show responds exactly like any responsible funny podcast would: by immediately wondering what happens when the chemical cloud meets rain, debating whether air conditioning is trying to kill us, and preparing to attend an afternoon Cardinals game in a heat index hovering somewhere around “surface of the sun.”Great planning, everybody.The crew is headed to the baseball game, which means it's time to discuss shorts, questionable Cardinals outfits, polyester in extreme humidity, and several anatomical consequences of excessive heat that probably weren't included in the National Weather Service advisory. Moon offers “cool moss” as a survival mantra, Rafe considers wearing an outfit that could become a public-decency incident in the right breeze, and Rizzuto realizes that choosing an August day game may have been a tactical error.But who cares about heat when GRAVITY ITSELF IS ABOUT TO DISAPPEAR?Yes, the calendar reminder has finally arrived. According to an internet prophecy the show has been lovingly babysitting for months, gravity is supposed to vanish at 8:33 a.m. for several seconds. So the gang does what this funny podcast does best: takes something completely ridiculous and gives it significantly more analysis than it deserves. Do we float? Should everyone jump? What happens when gravity comes back? Should Lern abandon the show to protect her cats? And most importantly, why did Rizzuto bring rope?Throw in an eclipse, a meteor shower, Lionsgate manifestation talk and a massive Powerball jackpot, and this is shaping up to be a perfectly normal Wednesday.Then we arrive at the Great Hole-in-One Heist.The crew dives into the viral St. Louis-area golf scandal involving a player who admitted to fabricating a hole-in-one during a tournament with thousands of dollars at stake. There's security footage, a suspicious trip ahead of the group, a ball mysteriously sitting in the cup and an apology that helped turn a local golf disaster into national entertainment. But while everyone else is debating golf ethics, The Rizzuto Show focuses on the question nobody else apparently had the courage to ask:IS GRANDMA OKAY?!From there, the crew debates cheating, hole-in-one etiquette, whether you'd expose your spouse for pulling the same stunt, and whether $9,000 is enough money to permanently become “the golf liar” at every family gathering.And because apparently we're conducting an ethics seminar now, the conversation moves from golf cheating to cashier mistakes. If a store forgets to charge you for something, do you go back? Is keeping it stealing? Is karma waiting around the corner with a bus? Suddenly our funny podcast has become a philosophy class taught by people preparing to sit outside at a baseball stadium during a heat advisory.Chemical clouds. Gravity conspiracies. Lottery dreams. Golf fraud. Accidental shoplifting.

A woman in my community sent me a message this week that stopped me in my tracks: "Lindsey, do you ever have bad body image days? What does recovery actually look like years later? Do those old thoughts still creep in?" Girlfriend, I had to sit with that one — because we don't talk about this enough. There's a myth floating around that recovery means you reach some magical finish line where body image struggles vanish forever. That is simply not true. So today I'm pulling back the curtain completely and giving you my honest answer — plus the exact 8-step game plan I use when those old familiar feelings come knocking and I'm just feeling blah in my body. Grab your Target journal, friend. This one's a keeper. The honest truth first Yes — I still have days where I don't feel amazing in my body. Maybe I'm bloated, maybe I'm PMSing, maybe I caught myself in a dressing room mirror under those God-awful fluorescent lights, maybe I'm stressed in my business or walking through a hard season, and my body becomes the target for those feelings. This is normal. And here's the difference. These moments used to consume entire weeks and months — sending me spiraling into restriction, over-exercise, avoidance. Now? They might last an hour, a moment, a day at most. Because I have a game plan that actually works. Having these moments doesn't mean I'm not recovered. It means I'm human. Recovery isn't about never having a hard moment — it's about how quickly you return to love and gentleness with yourself when you do. The 8-step game plan for bad body image days 1. Grace upon grace. Before anything else, give yourself permission to feel what you're feeling without judging the feeling. No more "I should be past this by now." Instead: "It's okay you're having this thought. You're human. This doesn't mean anything about your worth or your recovery." Talk to yourself the way you'd talk to your best friend. 2. Throw on the comfy, baggy clothes. Sounds simple — it's a game-changer. Soft jams, oversized shirt, cozy cardigan, hair in a bun. This isn't about hiding your body; it's about removing physical discomfort that amplifies emotional discomfort. Ditch the tight jeans. When you're not aware of how clothes are fitting, you can focus on how you actually feel instead of how you think you look. 3. Get to the root. Stop plucking weeds and expecting different results. Ask: "What's really going on here? What am I actually trying to control by focusing on my body?" Overwhelm? Anxiety about a relationship? Exhaustion? Nine times out of ten, the body image struggle is about something else entirely — and naming it lets you address the real issue instead of taking it out on your body. 4. Avoid the mirror for the rest of the day. If you're already in a critical headspace, why put yourself in front of a reflection you're only going to pick apart? No body checking, no seeking reassurance from a mirror. Body checking on a bad day is like picking at a wound and expecting it not to bleed. Catch yourself heading toward one? Turn around and find something else to do. 5. Honor yourself with mindful eating anyway. The voice might whisper "skip lunch" or "eat cleaner tomorrow." Don't. Eat normally, regularly, every few hours — foods that nourish and satisfy you. Don't punish your body for an emotional feeling. Those feelings will pass. They're not facts. Your body deserves consistent nourishment regardless of a temporary thought. 6. Notice exercise compulsions and pause. Here's a sneaky one — bad body image days can suddenly "motivate" you toward an intense new workout or extra cardio. Pause and ask: am I moving from love and energy, or trying to punish and change my body? If it's the latter, choose gentle movement — yoga, a walk in nature, stretching, or plain rest. You can sit with uncomfortable feelings without exercising them away. 7. No social media scrolling. Non-negotiable on a hard day. Stay off Instagram and any platform where you'll compare yourself or get hit with diet-culture messaging. Read a good book, call a friend, do something that fills you instead. 8. Reach for your people. This is the one that changes everything. I had a community of women who normalized these days and reminded me I wasn't alone — even when I thought I shouldn't still be having them. Recovery is so much sweeter when you're not doing it by yourself. A few lines from the episode "There's a myth that recovery means you never struggle again. That simply is not true." "Having a bad body image day doesn't mean I'm not recovered. It means I'm human." "Recovery isn't about never having a hard moment — it's about how quickly you return to gentleness with yourself." "Those feelings will pass. They're not facts." "We have to stop plucking the weeds and expecting different results." "You can do hard things — including sitting with uncomfortable feelings without exercising them away." "People who have recovered still struggle. They just keep showing up, choosing love over fear and grace over judgment." Your reflection this week Next time you're feeling blah in your body, don't reach for the old patterns. Reach for the game plan. Pick even one of the eight steps and practice it: Give yourself grace upon grace Put on the comfy clothes Ask what you're really trying to control Eat normally anyway Reach for your people You're doing the hard things just by showing up for yourself. You don't have to do this alone The single biggest thing that helped me on hard days was a community of women who understood — who normalized the messy moments and reminded me of my worth. That's exactly why I created the Recovery Collective: a space where women in every phase of recovery come together to share the real and vulnerable moments, celebrate the victories big and small, and support each other with tools and understanding. Imagine having a safe place to say "I'm having a hard body day" and be met with understanding instead of judgment.

Money is one of the biggest sources of conflict in marriage—but it doesn't have to be. In this episode, Dr. Kim sits down with financial coaches Dan and Kay Ockey to talk about why money is so much more than numbers. They unpack how family backgrounds, emotions, communication, and faith all shape the way couples handle finances. You'll also hear practical steps for getting on the same page, creating healthy financial habits, and replacing fear with faithful stewardship. Whether you're trying to pay off debt, build a budget, or simply have better conversations about money, this episode will encourage you to work as a team and steward what God has entrusted to you with confidence and purpose. Episode Highlights: Money is emotional. Learn how your past influences the way you spend, save, and give today. Communication changes everything. Discover why a simple weekly financial check-in can strengthen your marriage. Budgets create freedom, not limitations. Learn practical tools for managing money together with confidence. Stewardship starts with trust. See how viewing your finances through God's perspective can bring greater peace and purpose. Quotes from this Episode: Dr. Kim Kimberling "Money can quietly create stress and distance in a marriage if we're not intentional." "Take a chance. Throw caution to the wind and say, 'God, I'm all in.' You'll see Him show up." "A budget doesn't restrict your freedom—it gives you freedom because you know where your money is going." "Your kids are watching your marriage. The way you steward your relationship becomes their textbook for the future." Dan Ockey "Most couples agree on where they want to go—they just disagree on how to get there." "Everything we have belongs to God. Isn't it worth taking 20 minutes each week to talk about how we're stewarding it?" "Data over drama. Acknowledge the emotions, then let the numbers show you reality." "When we approach money with fear, we make fear-based decisions. When we approach it with faith, we become better stewards." "The long-term consequences of hiding financial struggles are far worse than the short-term pain of an honest conversation." Kay Ockey "Money isn't just dollars and cents. There's so much emotion underneath every financial decision." "The timing of your communication is huge. Don't spring financial conversations on your spouse." "A simple weekly financial check-in can completely change the way you communicate about money." "Just because you're an adult doesn't mean you automatically know how to handle money. It's a skill that can be learned." "When you're overwhelmed, don't lose sight of having a goal that gives you hope and something to work toward together."

French Rizz has officially landed in Paris... and immediately started taking the worst tourist photos in recorded history. While Rizz enjoys croissants, wine, and accidentally inventing "half-photo tourism," the rest of the crew takes over the studio and proves that absolutely nothing can stay on the rails for very long.Moon discovers that having an empty house sounds a lot more relaxing than it actually is, because apparently sitting still for more than six minutes causes immediate guilt. King Scott earns legitimate homeowner points by repairing his own dryer, immediately becoming every Midwest dad's favorite person. Lern shares the highs and lows of Copper Fire's latest show, where technical problems forced the band to improvise through feedback, monitor speakers, and pure determination. Sometimes rock and roll isn't glamorous... sometimes it's just hoping the audience sticks around anyway.Then Rafe returns from San Antonio with what may become one of the show's all-time travel stories. Between Southwest Airlines delays, airport complaints, Pee-wee Herman's bike inside the Alamo museum, and a confession involving the Alamo that definitely deserves its own historical plaque, the crew spends way too much time debating what actually counts as "peeing at the Alamo." It's exactly the kind of discussion you'd expect from your favorite daily comedy show.As if that wasn't enough, Taco Bell's lettuce lawsuit continues to grow, the crew debates whether $200 is enough compensation for catastrophic fast-food regret, someone steals thousands of dollars worth of Little Debbie snacks, Martha Stewart accidentally provides some unforgettable sound bites during National Grab Some Nuts Day, and everyone shares the snacks they secretly keep stocked around the studio.Throw in conversations about French vacations, delayed flights, NBA jerseys, the St. Louis Riverfront, fashion rankings, summer heat making everyone older, and the usual nonstop roasting between friends, and you've got another completely normal episode of The Rizzuto Show—which, of course, means absolutely nothing about it is normal.One hundred episodes in and somehow we've reached peak Rizz Show chaos. One mysterious coffee cake delivery instantly derails the entire morning as the crew debates legendary Missouri bakeries, family traditions, suspiciously delicious pastries, and whether one slice is enough motivation to break a Guinness World Record for push-ups. (Spoiler: probably not.)The gang dives into Ariana Grande taking a well-earned break after an exhausting run of performances while discussing the line between public concern and respecting someone's privacy. Then it's onto the latest mystery surrounding Slipknot's Sid Wilson, Smashing Pumpkins celebrating a massive hometown moment at Lollapalooza, William Shatner somehow becoming a heavy metal performer at 95, and a look back at one of television's most unforgettable characters.Movie lovers get plenty to chew on too. Spider-Man continues dominating theaters, Barbie 2 hits development roadblocks, and the crew wonders why Hollywood keeps rebooting everything instead of taking chances on original stories. Along the way they revisit cult classics, argue about the greatest television series ever made, celebrate indie filmmaking, and somehow end up ranking the most scientifically accurate disaster movies ever filmed. Because naturally that's where breakfast conversations lead.The laughs don't stop there. There's an ongoing push-up debate, questionable workout motivation involving coffee cake crumbs, "Back in the Day" history lessons, celebrity birthdays, bizarre Hollywood stories, ridiculous hypotheticals, and the kind of sarcastic banter that somehow turns every topic into comedy.With Rizz celebrating his birthday overseas, the gang decides that "Happy Birthday" is officially retired and immediately begins brainstorming the next long-term psychological prank. The mission? Convince him that everyone has always celebrated Happy Bastille Day, Rizz. The debate spirals into Mandela Effects, alternate realities, and enough gaslighting to make even the French question reality.Meanwhile, breakfast becomes an Olympic event as four boxes of donuts disappear at alarming speed while pre-workout somehow enters the equation. The crew debates whether they're fueling up for the gym or an emergency nap, and honestly nobody ever figures it out.Then comes one of the most unpredictable rounds of "3 in 5" in recent memory. Listeners battle through categories ranging from beans and famous vampires to Pixar movies, breakfast cereals, state capitals, and Tom Hanks films. Some contestants dominate. Others completely forget movies exist. Rules are forgotten. Rules are invented. Tickets are awarded anyway because apparently Charity Monday is alive and well.The conversation also dives into birthday bash planning, exclusive birthday beer names, concert giveaways, and plenty of classic Rizz Show side quests that somehow become funnier than the original topic. It is exactly the kind of organized chaos fans expect from a funny morning show that refuses to stay on script.Whether you're here for ridiculous games, sarcastic humor, listener interactions, or simply watching adults argue about whether "Happy Bastille Day" is a perfectly normal greeting, this episode delivers another unforgettable daily comedy podcast.If you're new here, welcome to the weird corner of the internet where logic takes the day off and everyone somehow leaves happier than they arrived.
