Why Are You Like This?

This week on the podcast, we’re talking all about the good, bad, and ugly side of workplace culture. How folks can thrive, but also how in toxic situations they can end up making drug runs for Lisa Frank (yes). We also talk through how quarantine and a pandemic that so greatly effects employment can have some of us feeling differently about our jobs— better and worse. So, we’re keeping it timely to say the least.

We’re back to consulting the stars, as we let you know exactly what May has in store. Who is set to have the best month ever, and who is gearing up for the worst!

Whew! On quarantine day “we don’t know,” we bring some thoughts on a simpler decade— the 90s! Folks like Sugar Ray’s Mark McGrath and Vanilla Ice make cameos to tell you why nothing good happened when the clock struck 2000. In their opinion a new decade was never even defined. We wax and wan poetically about some things we loved and hypothesize... Did culture real evolve after the 90s? You decide.

This week on the podcast we’re taking a lighthearted stroll down memory lane as we talk pranks. From prank calls on The Simpsons to all the ridiculous stuns we as children orchestrated to prank Jaimi’s grandma. Are pranks all fun and games or do they actually have cognitive benefits? And when does a prank go to far?

This week on the podcast, we’re divining into the history of such creatures as Loch Ness and Bigfoot. That’s right— Cryptozoology. What makes some people believe and holds other skeptical? Can you even consider this this a science? There are a lot of questions and a lot of people trying to find the Yeti. So, how exactly do you disprove something anyway?

This week on the podcast, we’re dissecting the tough feelings of burnout and what some psychologists have to say about it. All the feelings associated with the times we *truly* HATED our jobs to feeling lackluster about creative projects that once felt thrilling. What drives us to burnout and how the hell do we stop a downward spiral in its tracks?

Reaching out (yet again!) from self-isolation in our second installment of the segment we’ve deemed, WHAT THE FUPDATE. We’re popping in to talk about Oxytocin, Dopamine, Serotonin, and what we think is happening with all of our emotions during quarantine.

This week on the podcast, we’re giving a quick science lesson. (We’re not scientists.) We’re diving into Epigenetics, as we talk everything from eye color to the possibilities of being directly effected by what was going on in you Grandma’s womb. Not to mention, some “dog stuff.”

We’re back to consulting the stars, as we let you know exactly what April has in store. Who is set to have the best month ever, and who is gearing up for the worst!

This week on the podcast, we’re diving into the best and worst handshakes of our lives as we dissect the nuances of body language. We’ll talk about why some researchers aren’t comfortable calling it a language, and how data has been perhaps been misused repeatedly in self-help books and seminars to back up the belief that how you say things is more important than the actual words you say. So, what really matter? The words coming out of your mouth or they way your standing?
