Your Trauma! Live With A Studio Audience
Added 2024-08-27 18:52:48 +0000 UTCThe girlies dive into the world of American talk shows — the modern circus helmed by formidable “experts.” They track the history of syndicated television, the rise of popular figureheads like Dr. Phil and Judge Judy, and interrogate the philosophical carnival that makes these programs simultaneously appealing and horrifying. Digressions include our favorite Instagram Reels creators, and how one listener’s family was ripped apart via the diet terrorism of Dr. Oz.

2024-11-19 23:06:39 +0000 UTCHe used to have a segment where they showed various pics of melanoma & had a dermatologist talk about the signs of skin cancer. My sister was like wait those moles look similar to mine, booked a dermatology appt, & had to have tons of skin removed. But she is great now, and her scars are basically all faded! So hence why he lowkey saved her life, since it was already at stage 4 & she had no idea.

2024-08-30 22:17:35 +0000 UTCI am not surprised dr Phil left his actual practice of psychology to do legal consulting. So many professionals such as doctors, psychiatrists, and engineers sell out to big legal. I’m a paralegal and the invoices I see get paid to these experts can often exceed my yearly salary. Then imagine those across the loads of cases all of them take on at a time.

2024-08-30 16:07:29 +0000 UTCYou did not only get mad cow disease from eating cow brains btw??? It was from eating any beef infected with the disease. Which yes the cow originally got from being fed waste parts of other cows. If people only got it from eating cow brains, it wouldn't have been as big of a deal. Since when are cow brains a common thing to eat

2024-08-29 22:52:24 +0000 UTCmy mom put my poor sister on the HCG diet when she was like 16. You basically take the HCG hormone at a certain frequency and only eat 500 calories a day. I think they were purporting that the HCG would make you less hungry. My sister was on our school’s dance team and doing studio dance so she was working out like 4hrs a day on only 500 calories. It makes me sooo sad to think about now that I’m grown. I had no clue it was being peddled by Dr. Oz but not surprised

2024-08-29 21:58:39 +0000 UTCNPR just reported on a study on if celebrity endorsements affect politicians popularity and poll numbers and the conclusion was rarely/if ever do they have an effect EXCEPT for when Oprah endorsed Barack Obama in the 2008 primaries and it made a huge difference in the polls - swayed about 1 million votes. her impact

2024-08-28 01:49:28 +0000 UTCPLEASE do a nutcracker episode for christmas time!!!! it is nutcracking me up that neither of you queens really know the story of the nutcracker lol I did ballet growing up so I was in the nutcracker literally every christmas- so in my world I have been able to take for granted that everyone knows the story of the nutcracker. but it’s a very old story and at least within the ballet world there are some ~different takes~ on the story. in some productions Clara is a child for the whole thing, in some productions she turns into an adult for the second act, sometimes her name is Marie, and don’t even get me started on the difference between sugar plum fairy and dew drop fairy… you’d love that tea 🍵 even in NY, new york city ballet and the american ballet theater have pretty different nutcracker shows ♥️♥️♥️
