Description
Step aside big dog button-industrial complex, as animal welfare consultant Dr. Holly Molinaro is here to explain the actual science (or lack thereof) behind whether dogs can talk by pushing buttons. Psychology professor Cendri Hutcherson shares how daily mental sharpness can lead to a productivity boost equivalent to 40 extra minutes of work. Future-of-work reporter Tim Paradis relays why so many companies are rethinking performance reviews and what they're doing instead. Media personality Caitlin Green covers news from popular culture, including: Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show; The 2026 Winter Olympics 'penisgate' scandal; and Harry Styles fans are selling blood to buy tickets for his NYC concert. (Catch Caitlin co-hosting The Jann Arden Podcast by clicking here.) In advance of Valentine's Day, experimental psychology researcher Madison Williams and David discuss high-tech sex toy options for couples and single folks to try out for the occasion. Then, were you supposed to watch a TV show with your significant other? Watched it without telling them, and then lied about it? Well, according to Boutique matchmaker and dating expert Shannon Tebb: that's streaming cheating and it's a major red flag. Psychology professor Dr. Suzanna Forwood explains her study showing takeout meals serve as both reward and comfort after work.
