Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by John & Joel of the wonderful Dream Factory podcast to talk TV of the year for 2025!Not a "top 10" as such, this is more of a run-down of a lot of the incredible TV that we have been blessed with this year, in what has turned out to be a very bumper crop indeed. It's a great selection as there are also a bunch of series that somehow flew under radars there, and hopefully there'll be some sneaky additions you can make to your own viewing schedules. Awesome stuff as always, and loads that you will dig whether you've seen the shows or not. And while you're checking things out, go ahead and listen to The Dream Factory! You'll be in fine company.

Comedian Ian Lara joins Lip Service for a brutally honest, hilarious conversation about sex, dating, money, and comedy. Ian opens up about how Madonna personally approved his comedy special, why dating shifts when women make more money, and how real-life experiences — including getting circumcised at 15 — turn into some of his biggest jokes. He also breaks down the grind behind comedy success, the pressure of the industry, and why performing for small crowds can be harder than sold-out rooms. The conversation covers dating red flags, modern relationship expectations, posting partners on social media, and why staying humble matters even after major wins like HBO and late-night TV. A classic Lip Service episode: unfiltered, funny, uncomfortable, and real.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

John and Craig welcome back screenwriter Mike Makowsky (Death by Lightning, Bad Education) to ask, how do you dramatize a historical event that no one's heard of? They look at the dramatic engine behind the Garfield assassination, the long journey Death by Lightning had to getting made, and the importance of finding great stories in obscure history. We investigate the peculiar habits and compulsions of our own writing practices, and see how personality typologies can help figure out what makes our characters tick. We also follow up on a certain orange book, breaking into Hollywood in your 30's, and offer our thoughts on the impending sale of Warner Bros. In our bonus segment for premium members, which TV shows had the best "coaching trees"? We marvel at the writers' rooms that launched the most successful writers today.

Send us a textCrises rarely look like TV. Most calls aren't bank robberies; they're frantic welfare checks, neighbor standoffs over fences, a parent terrified for a missing teen, or someone hearing voices at 2 a.m. We sit down with Dr. Sarah Abbott, a pioneer of the police–clinician co-response model, to unpack how pairing a trained clinician with officers at the point of contact reshapes outcomes: fewer arrests, fewer injuries, and far more dignity for the person in distress.Sarah shares the origin story from Massachusetts, where “jail diversion” began as a humane alternative for low-level offenses tangled with mental illness and grew into a comprehensive crisis response approach now spreading nationally and internationally. We get honest about the early skepticism and what changed minds: consistent data, strong command support, and the day-to-day reality that most police work involves behavioral health, not crime. We also go inside Section 12—involuntary transport in Massachusetts—and why sending officers with little background information is risky for everyone. The fix is coordination and clarity: share what you legally can, add a clinician to the response, and approach the door with a plan rooted in safety and rapport.Training is the force multiplier. Sarah breaks down how academy curricula evolved to center practical de-escalation and communication, then explains why the biggest gains come later with advanced, scenario-driven refreshers once officers have real street context. We talk tactics for engaging someone in psychosis without lying or escalating, why 988 is essential but not a complete substitute, and how blending 988, CIT, and co-response builds a smarter, safer safety net. We close with Sarah's work at William James College and the new Center for Crisis Response and Behavioral Health, designed to scale what works across departments and borders.If you care about first responder mental health, public safety, and better outcomes for people in crisis, this conversation offers a clear roadmap. Listen, share it with your team, and leave a review so more agencies can find these tools and put them to work in their communities.To reach Sarah, please visit her website at: https://www.abbottsolutionsforjustice.comSarah can also befound on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/abbott-solutions-for-justice-llc/?viewAsMember=trueFreed.ai: We'll Do Your SOAP Notes!Freed AI converts conversations into SOAP note.Use code Steve50 for $50 off the 1st month!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Is Avatar: Fire and Ash really the lowest-rated film in the Avatar franchise so far? On today's episode of The Kristian Harloff Show, Roxy Striar breaks down early reactions and critical response to James Cameron's latest entry, including whether the Rotten Tomatoes score truly reflects the film's impact, scale, and ambition—or if expectations for the franchise have simply shifted over time.

Hello Heal Squad! Today, Maria sits down with two major forces behind the Environmental Working Group …aka EWG: Ken Cook, President and Co-Founder, and Jocelyn Lyle, Executive VP of Mission & Partnerships. If you've ever wondered what's really in your products, this is the episode you've been waiting for. Maria first learned about EWG from Jenny McCarthy, and it's been her gold standard in clean and safe ever since. But today isn't just about clean mascara or safer lotion… it's about something far bigger: the hidden toxins in our everyday routines…like drinking water! Ken and Jocelyn are here to break down how we can fix it and uncover how dangerous chemicals sneak into personal care and household products. They also share how EWG is helping all of us, from busy parents to conscious consumers make smarter, safer choices without feeling overwhelmed. If you're stepping into 2026 with a mission to protect your health, clean up your routine, or finally understand what's actually going on your body (and in your water), this conversation will change how you shop, how you think, and how you care for yourself from head to toe. HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Legal” does not mean safe : U.S. regulations for cosmetics and water are decades behind scientific research, which means harmful chemicals can be completely legal yet still linked to health problems. Your water likely contains multiple contaminants: Between PFAS, agricultural runoff, industrial chemicals, and aging infrastructure, water across the country includes contaminants that treatment systems can't fully remove. Hidden toxins are everywhere, and companies don't always disclose them.

We're talking about what it looks like to trust God's timing, keep showing up in the waiting, and believe that even the hidden seasons are holy. Plus, you'll hear about epidurals, hospital delays, and what the Bible has to do with reality TV.

Rich weighs in on Philip Rivers' remarkable return to the NFL after a 5-year retirement and what it says about the NFL's ability to develop young QB's to be ready to step in and start games. In ‘Overreaction Tuesday' Rich weighs in on Aaron Rodgers' & Mike Tomlin's futures with the Pittsburgh Steelers, if the Josh Allen can finally take the Buffalo Bills to the Super Bowl now that Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs won't be standing in their way, if the Jacksonville Jaguars or Houston Texans can reach the AFC Championship Game, if Philip Rivers' return to the Indianapolis Colts might lure Las Vegas Raiders' part-owner Tom Brady out of retirement, and if we've actually seen the last of John Cena in a WWE wrestling ring. Comedian Charlie Berens joins Rich in-studio to discuss his new ‘Neighborly' YouTube special, his love for the Green Bay Packers, how he went from doing local TV news to being a stand-up comic. Rich reacts to Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel saying benching QB Tua Tagovailoa is not out of the question in the wake of Miami being eliminated from playoff contention.

This week, Jason is joined by returning guest and one of the most influential leaders in real estate, Ryan Serhant! He is the co-founder and CEO of Serhant, now home to more than 1,500 agents with growth that has doubled year over year. He's built one of the most followed and powerful real estate brands in the world with over 9 million followers across all social media. Most importantly, he is back on Netflix with season two of Owning Manhattan, showing a more competitive, more ambitious and more strategic side as he expands his empire beyond Manhattan in battles in the most cutthroat luxury real estate market in the world. Ryan breaks down the current state of the real estate market and why the way people think about homeownership needs to evolve. He explains which markets remain stronger than ever, how banks are underwriting loans right now, and why it feels like everyone works for the government. Ryan shares his perspective on a potential rent freeze in New York, whether he'd ever consider going into politics, and the surprising parallel between divorce rates and the Fed lowering interest rates. He also unpacks the two largest referral sources in the U.S., why fear is often the only driver of lower prices, and how he approaches building trust in volatile markets. On the creative side, Ryan dives into creating a TV show no one has seen before, valuing the viewer's time, launching a new genre of reality TV with season two of Owning Manhattan, the movie that inspired part of the show's opening, and how Netflix checks compare to Bravo. He closes by sharing how he handles public attacks on his character, the four P's, and why choosing to be an open book has been central to his success. Ryan reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can't afford to miss!

It was Christmastime — a season of peace, light, and goodwill — which made the slow unraveling of their minds all the more disturbing.IN THIS EPISODE: Despite being in the middle of the first World War, on Christmas Day, 1914 British and German soldiers sang carols together, exchanged gifts with the enemy combatants, and supposedly even played a soccer game against each other in order to celebrate the holiday. (The Great War's Christmas Truce) *** The case was so mysterious it was even featured on TV's “Unsolved Mysteries” and “America's Most Wanted”: who committed the Christmas murder of Latricia White? And what happened to Lee and Chance Wackerhagen? (An Unsolved Christmas Murder Mystery) *** We're so used to seeing old St. Nick showing up with a big bag of toys for the kiddies – but what if he arrived with another bag full of switches for your parents to use the whole year through if you were on his naughty list? We'll look back at when Santa wasn't purely jolly and jovial, and when he arrived to dole out both presents and punishment! (Santa's Naughty List) *** The Los Feliz murder mansion became the site of a horrifying and sad Christmas tragedy for one California family. (Christmas At The Los Feliz Murder Mansion) *** A haunting holiday mystery took place in England in 1916 when a young bride simply disappeared without a trace. (The Vanishing Christmas Bride) *** A man tries to take on supernatural forces – and ends up as an undead creature who appears as a terrifying Yuletide spirit.

Hey, Heal Squad! Holiday shopping doesn't have to be stressful…and in this episode, Maria shares her top healing holiday gifts to make it easy.

Despite the almost four-hour runtime of Part 5, the show must go on as the self-imposed Christmas deadline inches closer and closer. Andy and Brendan are once again joined by PJ and KVV to chat through a set of four events following Rory's win at the Masters. Before the Year in Review gets back underway, the four recap this week's biggest news: Alejandro Tosti's performance at PGA Tour Q-School. Everyone is giddy to have Tosti back for another season on the big tour and they commend him for fighting through Q-School for a second time. Andy, Brendan, and Kevin also discuss some late-breaking golf news regarding the National Links Trust and the Trump administration's plan to renovate the three public golf courses in Washington D.C. The Year in Review resumes with a look back at the RBC Heritage and the immediate wake of one of the greatest wins in golf history. PJ runs through a week's worth of Rory reactions before unveiling the important stuff, such as Grant Horvat's Barracuda exemption (unused) and Wesley Bryan's PGA Tour suspension (still seemingly ongoing). Justin Thomas returned to the winner's circle in Hilton Head, getting over the finish line for the first time since the 2022 PGA Championship. Andy is next up with the Zurich Classic, where Rory McIlroy made his return to golf in a team event alongside Shane Lowry. Andy rediscovers the backboarding that occurred at a disastrous Chevron Championship and the power outage that led to the golf world being exposed to a Champions Tour Sunday on national TV. He also shares that one of the great technological achievements of our time happened this week! Brendan has the honor of recapping PGA Tour history, as Scottie Scheffler burned down TPC Craig T. Nelson Ranch and tied the all-time scoring record in a runaway win. All that may be great, but Brendan is most excited about the children in attendance chanting while a bulldozer wrecked the practice green ahead of Lanny's renovation. KVV comes in to close things out again, handling the first-ever Truist Championship. His findings lead the group down a rabbit-hole of past HSBC photo shoots, complete with a flying Henrik Stenson and Yao Ming. The 2025 Year in Review returns on Wednesday with the long-awaited Rise of Rea.

If you want to get leaner and live longer check out https://milliondollarbodylabs.com   Why do we spend thousands on workouts and supplements, but treat sleep like an afterthought, and how is it hurting our performance?   I talk with Jill MacRae and Lori Oliver, co-founders of The Inactive Company, a sleep performance business focused on developing products and technology. They brought complementary expertise from companies like SPANX, Starbucks, and Coca-Cola to solve the sleep epidemic. We discuss how they moved past their own sleep struggles—Jill with staying asleep, Lori with falling asleep in a constant state of high cortisol. They created a sleep mask using patent-pending technology that achieves complete blackout, regulates temperature, and includes eye pockets to integrate science into a functional product. They emphasize that sleep is the only human performance factor you cannot replace and explain how consistency and daily routine shifts fix sleep.   Key Takeaways ●     Jill MacRae struggled with staying asleep as she got older, and she realized training herself to sleep better improved her health, focus, and performance; she even developed pneumonia because she wasn't sleeping well. ●     Lori Oliver struggled with falling asleep because she "lived in cortisol world" while managing large teams and traveling internationally, meaning her brain was constantly trying to solve problems and could not wind down. ●     Complete blackout is the number one factor important to signal the brain and body to produce melatonin naturally. ●     Creating a Pavlovian response by making the bed a "sacred space" (only for sleeping and sex, not working or watching TV) helps the body recognize that it is time to turn off when you enter the room. ●     Consistency is the key to adopting good sleep habits, whether that means a consistent bedtime, wake time, or nap time. ●     If you wake up in the middle of the night, Jill advises a "reset": get up, drink water, use the restroom, and then lay back down to break the cycle of swirling thoughts. ●     Lori advises using breathing techniques (two inhales, one big mouth open exhale) while in bed to reset cortisol levels and calm the brain. ●     Strenuous exercise should be avoided two hours before bedtime, but light movement like walking after dinner helps digestion and limits blood sugar spikes that can wake people up.   Resources ●     Website: https://inactiveco.com ●     Instagram: @the_inactive_co https://www.instagram.com/the_inactive_co ●     LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-inactive-company   Nate Palmer: The founder of The Million Dollar Body and author of "The Million Dollar Body Method", Nate has been coaching for over 15 years and has worked personally with over 1,000 clients. ●      Website: https://milliondollarbodylabs.com/ ●      Book: The Million Dollar Body Method ●      Lean Energy Stack: https://milliondollarbodylabs.com/pages/lean ●      Instagram: @_milliondollarbody

John talks about House Dems releasing more photos from the Epstein Estate, personal photos from Epstein's own collection – some prominently featuring Donald Trump. He also discusses Trump's statement that he is pardoning former Mesa County, Colorado, clerk Tina Peters, but it's legally ineffective because it targets her state convictions, which fall outside presidential authority. Colorado says LOL. Next, he interviews Chris Anders who is the Director of the Democracy and Technology Divison at the ACLU. The ACLU just filed a major lawsuit demanding the Trump administration release the secret legal memo authorizing U.S. military strikes on alleged drug-carrying boats. These strikes have killed at least 87 people since September, including a now-controversial “double-tap” strike on survivors. Despite conducting 22 lethal strikes, the administration has refused to disclose the legal justification—breaking with long-standing precedent of releasing such memos for major military actions. The lawsuit argues these killings occur outside any recognized armed conflict, making their legality highly suspect and the memo's release urgently necessary. Then finally, John jokes with TV's Frank Conniff and they chat with listeners about pop culture and current Trump fuckery.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Have you seen Lupin? Or Emily in Paris? What about The Bureau? Or Call My Agent? Maybe you've seen all four of them, perhaps more. It's undeniable, French TV (and even movies) are having their moment right now, and in the post-Olympic Paris glow, people are even more fascinated with France. Let's talk about it with an expert, Lucille Béfort, who runs the French Vibes Club. Her very popular Instagram account breaks down French culture and the "art de vivre" in France (as in: the art of living well). As a French woman raised in the American university system, she has a pretty firm finger on the pulse of both cultures. And she is especially interested in how French culture, including the likes of these TV shows, is affecting people's perception of Paris in a whole new way. Is it escapism? Digital media redefining cultural diplomacy? Or something different entirely? Let's find out. And a reminder: This chat was streamed live on YouTube for Earful Tower members, and included a Q&A with Lucille after. Watch the replay and get future invites by becoming an Earful member.

We're headed on the road in Spring 2026! Buy tickets here:https://www.x1entertainment.com/bttb"On this podcast, historically, I don't know if I've ever agreed with Abby Lee Miller and been Team Abby in an argument. For these next four sentences I'm 100% on Abby's side, with my pom poms, and I'm cheering ABBY ABBY!" says Christi, in what may be the first sign that hell truly has frozen over.As "Bye Bye Pittsburgh" gets underway, stress levels are high as there's only one week left until the ALDC moves to Los Angeles. The OG moms continue to believe that Abby doesn't have every girl's best interest at heart unless their name is Maddie. It's clear from the editing that Holly doesn't know it yet, but she's being set-up to take Christi's place as the heel in Abby's plans and it's already feeding into Nia's treatment overall.Meanwhile the newest moms are battling it out to see who will get to stick around. Jess and Jojo are only scheduled to stay two weeks, indicating that at least at this moment it's likely they hadn't been locked in yet to become regulars. Jess goes on the offensive, theatrically making scenes attacking the other moms in the hopes it makes for good TV. Her only problem is JoJo isn't quite fitting into the team dynamic just yet, running behind during the group dance and annoying Abby with her quips. Consequently JoJo is booted from the group routine, but will Jess let that stop her from stirring the pot further?Quotes“I have a big slap. Do you though? I thought your slap was pretty minimal with a big impact. Oh be nice!" (12:58-13:05 | Christi)“By the way [Abby] did not like us. I think everybody knows that." (23:44-253:49 | Christi & Kelly)“Who wears neon? Besides Jill Vertes at Teen Choice." (31:27-31:31 | Christi)“Jess accuses Kira of making fun of Jojo's voice at Pyramid and she denies it. How?! It's on camera!"
