    The Secrets Twins Share & Subtle Money Mistakes to Avoid-SYSK Choice
    Feb 14 2026
    Are women really attracted to men who can make them laugh? And if so, why does humor matter so much in attraction? This episode begins with what research and relationship experts say about laughter, mating, and why being funny can be a powerful social signal. https://amzn.to/496hAtL We’ve always been fascinated by twins. They seem mysterious, almost magical — as if they share a special connection the rest of us don’t. But do twins really experience the world differently, or are we projecting myths onto them? Helena de Bres joins me to unpack the truths, misconceptions, and lived reality of being a twin. She’s a professor of philosophy at Wellesley College and author of How to Be Multiple: The Philosophy of Twins (https://amzn.to/3HCmH8E). Most financial advice sounds the same: save more, spend less, invest wisely. But some of the most effective money guidance runs counter to what we usually hear. Vivian Tu shares a fresh, practical perspective on money, habits, and mindset — including mistakes people make without realizing it. Vivian made her first million by age 27, is CEO and founder of Your Rich BFF Media, and author of Rich AF: The Winning Money Mindset That Will Change Your Life (https://amzn.to/42oltaH). And finally, one of life’s small but frequent frustrations: you grab a pen, there’s ink inside — and it won’t write. Most of the time, the pen isn’t dead; it’s just stuck. We wrap up with a few simple, surprisingly effective tricks to get a ballpoint pen working again. https://www.penheaven.com/blog/revive-a-dead-ballpoint-pen PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS QUINCE: Refresh your wardrobe with Quince!

  • How to Find True Love & Why Some People Pursue Impossible Goals

    How to Find True Love & Why Some People Pursue Impossible Goals
    Feb 12 2026
    Ask frequent flyers what bothers them most about air travel and you might be surprised by the answer. It’s not turbulence, cramped seats, or bad food — it’s the other passengers. This episode begins by revealing which behaviors irritate fellow travelers the most and what people wish would stop happening at 35,000 feet. https://pro.morningconsult.com/analysis/airplane-etiquette-annoying-behaviors What brings two people together romantically has always been a mystery — and today, it’s more complicated than ever. Dating apps offer endless options, yet many people struggle to find meaningful connection. What actually predicts long-term attraction? What matters less than we think? And what do science and history tell us about love, choice, and compatibility? Paul Eastwick joins me to explain how attraction really works. He’s a professor of psychology at the University of California, Davis, director of the Attraction and Relationships Research Laboratory, and author of Bonded by Evolution: The New Science of Love and Connection (https://amzn.to/49RrGS0) Most people pursue goals with a clear payoff — something they hope and expect to achieve. But some people dedicate their lives to goals they know will never happen. Why would anyone do that? What sustains them? And what do these impossible pursuits reveal about meaning, purpose, and fulfillment? Journalist Mark Medley shares remarkable stories of people chasing futures they’ll never live to see. He’s author of Live to See the Day: Impossible Goals, Unimaginable Futures, and the Pursuit of Things That May Never Be (https://amzn.to/46fV95J). And finally, think about all the surfaces your phone touches — tables, counters, public spaces. Then think about where that phone goes when it rings – your face. We wrap up with what science says about phones, germs, and what that means for your skin and health.https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life-style/beauty/how-smartphones-damage-your-skin-5-ways-to-protect-against-blue-light-and-bacteria/articleshow/124968775.cms PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS QUINCE: Refresh your wardrobe with Quince!

  • Bonus: SYSK TRENDING - The Science of Sleeping, Breathing, and Hydration

    Bonus: SYSK TRENDING - The Science of Sleeping, Breathing, and Hydration
    Feb 10 2026
    Why would anyone need to be taught how to sleep, breathe, or drink water? Those are things you already do every day. And yet, it turns out most of us are doing them just wrong enough to undermine our health. In this SYSK Trending episode, I talk with Michael Breus, one of the world’s leading sleep experts, about how small adjustments to when and how you sleep, breathe, and hydrate can produce outsized benefits for your energy, immunity, metabolism, and long-term health. Dr. Breus is a double-board-certified clinical psychologist and sleep specialist, and the author of Sleep Drink Breathe: Simple Daily Habits for Profound Long-Term Health (https://amzn.to/3ZposzW). His research shows that better health doesn’t always require doing more—it often comes from doing the basics correctly. This is simple advice, but it’s powerful—and it may change how you think about your daily habits.
