#1762 Virtual Hugs - Patrick Bonello

Just two nerds just chatting about nerd stuff. Sure, we're different kinds of nerds but nonetheless, that's what this episode is. Will traditional TV's disappear? The good and potential bad of glasses with built-in video cameras. Haptic suits which allow us to give someone a virtual and physical hug from thousands of miles away. USB cables that can hide hacker hardware. Scientists growing a backbone in a lab. All that and more (as they say). See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information....

#1761 Printing Money (Literally) - David Gillespie

TYP's resident antagonist David Gillespie is back ruffling feathers, asking the uncomfortable questions, challenging the status quo and this time, the conversation focuses on our government's amazing ability to find money to buy submarines and bail out banks but not to fund social programs.

#1760 Gym Tailgating - Patrick Bonello

Did you know that gym tailgating is a thing? Is the practice of non-gym members (at gyms which use swipe card access and are mostly unstaffed) following a member (with a card) into the centre, either with or without that member's knowledge or consent. While this episode was intended to be a tech chat (as it usually is), Patrick and I found ourselves meandering through very eclectic range of topics and stories. I enjoyed it.

#1759 Hyper-Focus - David Gillespie

This chat with Gillespo was recorded on New Year's Day and not surprisingly, the conversation took a few turns with perhaps the most interesting (and relevant for many of us) topic being that of our capacity (or lack thereof) to be able to focus, control our attention and keep our mind where we need it to be for efficiency, productivity and (in broad terms) successful outcomes.

#1756 Taming Your Toxic Load - Dr Marc Cohen

Marc Cohen, the amazing Triple-Doc (Medical Doc and 2 x PhD) is back and among other things, this time we discuss the ever-expanding number of toxins we humans need to navigate, avoid and mitigate in an attempt to create, not only a healthy body, but also a healthy lifestyle, home, workplace and day-to-day operating system. Interestingly, not all toxins are chemical; some of them are psychological, emotional and/or sociological. Did you know that just being around certain people can be bad for y...

#1754 Unfriending (In The Real World) - Harps

Let’s be honest, some ‘friends’ are really just people we know. In fact, some of them are the opposite of kind, caring and loving towards us. So, not friends at all. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jan 02, 202512 minSeason 1Ep. 1754

#1753 How Much Do You Want It? - Harps

There’s the ‘thing’ you want, there’s the work required to achieve it and there’s what you’re prepared to do to succeed. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#1743 The Christmas Day Paradox - Dr Lillian Nejad

Christmas day; so many varied and contradictory emotions, expectations, beliefs, stories and experiences. From overwhelming love, happiness, joy and connection to anxiety, loneliness, anger and disconnection, to religious traditions, cultural rituals, excessive alcohol, gluttony and uncomfortable family gatherings. Oh, and throw in a few presents. In this episode, the fabulous Dr. Lillian and I talk about all this and more. Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information....

#1742 Play Therapy vs. Medication - Dr. Sam Casey

Just as it is with grown-ups, there is a myriad of factors, variables and individual pieces which contribute to the 'happy, functional, healthy kid' jigsaw puzzle. And just as it is with us 'older kids', there's no miracle three-step plan, no cure-all, and no single 'best' way to feed, educate, treat, communicate with, support or understand the extremely diverse part of our population known as children. What will work for little Indie, will be catastrophic for Sam. Kayla's healthy snack could be...

Oh, and he also did his best to Psycho-analyse me mid-show, and I may or may not have gotten mildly uncomfortable. performanceintelligence.com Rear Vie...

#1740 The Netballer & The Basketballer - Renae & Joe Ingles

Joe Ingles is one of Australia's greatest ever basketballers (currently playing with the Minnesota Timberwolves) and not to be outdone, his wife Renae was one of Australia's greatest ever Netballers; both representing their country at the highest level on numerous occasions. All I'm gonna tell you about this chat is that I f***ing loved it, and they are both fantastic people. FYI.. for this recording, Joe was in Minnesota, Renae was in Florida and I was in the thriving metropolis of good ol' Mel...

#1739 Seed Oils & Colon Cancer - David Gillespie

Gillespo hits the ground running in this chat and we cover a vast amount of conversational territory in a relatively short time. While we talk about stimulants (Red Bull anyone?), screen addiction, the massive increase in teenage anxiety and my very periodic (and shameful) use of a cognitive enhancer, the thing that'll blow your metaphoric socks off is our discussion about the recent research linking seed oils (oils like sunflower, cottonseed, grapeseed, canola, rice bran and soybean) with an in...

#1736 'The Commando' - Steve Willis

Hi Team, I’m caught up with work today but I’ll be back for the rest of the week with brand new episodes. This is a chat I had a while back with 'The Commando', I really enjoyed it, I think you will too. *Not gonna lie, I wasn’t sure what to expect going into a conversation with ‘The Commando’. Interestingly, it didn’t happen. I ended up chatting with Steve Willis, the deep-thinking, interesting, somewhat-introverted ex-soldier, who happened to be on the telly...
