I've long felt that my perfect podcast would be a patchwork quilt of my woo woo wellness favorites, comedic cut ups, pop culture boots on the ground, amateur sociology/psychology nerds, sports (but kind of just tennis), philosophy waxers and on and on. I haven't found one, so I made one! Piqued never picks a lane, but always has a take on whatever is pricking up our ears in these very plugged in times. We zoom in to find the minutia and zoom out to find perspective and always with heart and humor.

    50 Episodes/ 2 Cents

    Pop the Veuve because I’ve done it y’all,I’ve made it to 50 Episodes, that is 50.Weeks.Of Piqued!! It can be hard to stay consistent plugging away in obscurity as I do, but I’m committed to the growth and  the creative outlet this venture provides me with. On this 50th week of my passion project I’m in a peaceful if slightly sleepy era-is this my re-brand on my flop era…maybe, but anyway it does feel like just barely outside of my bubble everything is pretty heavy in the world so this week I’m striking a balance of fluffy frivolity(some bravo gossip and takes) and just a smidge of the hard stuff prosperity. 00:00-08:13 - intro,50th Ep,Heavy Season,Light Me 08:14-16:34 - Amanda Hirsch(Not Skinny But Not Fat)Lindsay Clancy Betting Ad Controversy 16:35-20:35 - Phaedra and CT 20:36-33:55 - Next Gen NYC Takes 33:56-38:18 - Carole Radziwill Retuning/Joining RHONY 38:19-41:16 - Ella Langley glow up,Outro #lindsayclancy #amandahirsch #notskinnybutnotfat #contreversy #phaedraparks #cttamburello #thechallenge #rhoa #thechallenge #nextgennyc #bravotv #bravo #reality #celebritygossip #caroleradziwill #rhony #bethennyfrankel #burningman #ellalangley #podcast #debate #podcasts #humor #shortvideo #viralvideo #hottopics

    Manic Memoirs and Neurospicy/Normie

    I may not be having a belated brat summer but I definitely spent this summer taking in some Brat coded Audio books. I somehow managed to listen to every memoir by a messy Manhatttanite with a pill addiction that was ever written and narrated. I can honestly recommend it. Whipping through Arkansas listening to Julia Fox lisp and vocal fry through her unhinged adventures,Doing my dishes while listening to Lena Dunham explain how you can make it to the MET gala but not contractually obligated work if you have chronic pain. Making a stir fry listening to Caroline Calloway explain how she sold a boo she would never write, and literally sold snake oil to pay back her advance.And now I’m in the messy bedhead of Cat Marnell recounting how you can be a speed addict and a beauty editor at the same time until you can’t. I have taken breaks form my manic memoir foray to ponder about the publics inability to conceive of disliking someone while still not wanting bodily harm to come to them or their child(get that restraining order Kentucky muffin)and musing about who in the bravo verse may be a bit neurospicy other than the obviously cluster b demon men we all know and some of us inexplicably love. Couldn’t be me!00:00-02:51 - Intro, RIP Dolly O2:52-14:15 - Manic Memoirs fromJulia Fox,Caroline Calloway,Lena Dunham and Cat Marnell14:23-26:25 - Brittany Cartwrite files a restraining order against Jax Taylor,We don’t have to like her to want her safe.26:26-48:38 Neourospicy vs Normie Bravolebs, Outro#neurodivergent #asd #ocd #bravo #brittanycartwright #jaxtaylor #thevalley #realhousewives #vanderpumprules #arianamaddix #carolinecalloway #lenadunham #carmarnell #juliafox #books #memoir #autism #summerhouse #southerncharm #tamrajudge #realitytv #reality #popculture #psychology #deepdive #personalitydisorders #narcisism #podcast 3podcasting #funnyvideo #humor #gossip #celebritygossip #celebs #dollyparton #lgbtq #neuroscience

    Focus and Flow

    Charlie is back and we are characteristically in sync. We are both control freaks having an epiphany that all this focus on control is doing little more than filling our consciousness with unusable energy. It has no nutritional value and our frequency is getting backed up. It’s time to unclench. Let’s make room for information, experience, opportunities and clarity. We are realizing that what we has sometimes mistaken for focus has been a murky blend of ego, pathology and tension. Focus actually feels relaxed and clear. Things don’t come in to focus from squinting and frowning and straining, but from having the right lens.  00:00-05:52 - Intro,On Your Mind/On Your Nerves Segment:Charlie and Fantasy football 05:53-13:49 - OYMOYN segment-Yasmeen is Sick of aggressive link demands.Should we decriminalize gatekeeping until people remember their manners? 14:02-18:50 - Lightbulb moment of hearing the Phrase ‘Unclench your brain’  18:55-21:56 - Charlie Connects ‘Unclenching ‘ to teaching music and placing focus on the shift from being in ones mind to body awareness. 21:56-24:47 - We find Examples in Tennis and yoga of how too much conscious mental processing can delay/stilt flow. 24:48-31:43   - On relaxation feeling counterintuitive to focus, but actually flow comes from a present, open, regulated energy-Not frantic/tense. 31:43-34:44 - Applying relaxed rather than tense/clenched focus to listening. Informing your experience too much with the stories you tell about yourself is limiting. 34:45-38:08  - The concept of certain tasks ‘smelling fear’; your body has intelligence in the form of instinct, rapid unconscious processingSly the dog is a master of instinctual physics. 38:09- 42:52 - Clenching can come from inflating stakes, your mind can tell your body anything is life or death without your awareness. 42:53-46:37 - the simple concept of staying present..The ‘Beginners Mind’ How accumulating pathology limits potential/possibilities  45:38-53:15  - Early aptitude versus slow learning, learning by osmosis, keeping an open mind.

    Hater Psychosis

    While I’m rolling hot on clocking archetypes, this week I’m coining a whole new term:Hater Psychosis. As the internet and social media continues to evolves does people’s reactions to criticism on and off line. There seem to be a lot of regular infamous people who rant and rave daily (often on Facebook lol)about their enemies and nay sayers. People who(IRL no less)seem utterly obsessed with the idea that there is a cohort of people dedicated to taking them down and discrediting them. There are definitely some celebrities that seem to have this brain worm occupying their skull that seems to possess them with the compulsion to expound about haters, jealousy, trolls etc. There does seem to be an intersection of grandiosity and this paranoid fixation.  I’m not saying that we don’t all receive less than welcome feedback. Some of it may be un-constructive, some of it downright rude, but I don’t think mentally stable people can really be convinced that there are multiple people that dedicate their time and energy to plotting your demise. Sure there are some whack jobs out there who might send you an alarming DM  a mean comment but we can’t allow that to build infrastructure for an unhinged world view in which there are haters that simply won’t stop until you are destroyed. Guys you’re thinking about yourself too much, no one is jealous of young your ‘haters’ are probably eating a yoghurt bowl right now thinking about their credit card debt. Get a grip!   00:00-03:45 - Intro,We will have a duo Ep next week,Charlie has been a Music maven lately 03:46-05:23 - Another week another archetype;Intro-ing Hater psychosis as a phenomenon. 05:24-17:04 - Side bar on the Drew Afualo Debacle 17:05-23:55 - What do I mean by hater psychosis?You’re thinking about yourself too much, and no one is jealous. 24:03-30:38 - Celebs in active hater psychosis; Bethenny Frankel and Spencer Pratt.  30:38-32:36 - ‘Hater’ ‘Enemy’ ‘Evil Eye’ paranoia and fear mongering is rampant in the spirituality and wellness space. It is a big blood red flag. 32:40-33:26 - Back to B,Charlie Sheen how grandiosity intersects with hater psychosis, and unbothered people down rant about haters. 33:26-35:58 - How am I handling so called ‘hate’? A closing statement on taking criticism in stride, outro #haters #onlinediscourse #debate #jelousy #media #drewafualo #bethennyfrankel #spencerpratt #charliesheen #graniosity #jemimakirke #wellness #spirituality #energy #onlinehate #freespeech #controversy #villains #cancelculture #humor #popculture #socialmedia #viralvideo #rant #mentalhealth #grandiosity #podcast #podcasts #podcaster #funnyvideo #lgbtq #trans #women

    It Gets To A Point

    It doesn't always read 'lovely' to say it but let's be honest there are some people we observe(be that in media or in our lives)who seem to be perpetually in crisis and we just find ourselves side-eying them at some point thinking about what the common denominator is in all this chaos. How ever victim blamey and unfair that may be,I'm convinced we've all had a gut feeling, about at least one person, that the stories in which they are invariably the victim may have a few lines redacted. For my part, I'm going to extend this lense to my own behavior and try not to be the 'going through it girl' and appreciate that everyone has their own fires to put out and we all have our own fire extiguisher with just enough juice to serve us some times. There are some figures in media i'd like to see do the same(eg. jools Lebron&Lena Dunham). While we are on critical mass and zero sum games, can we talk about Arian grande taking a break from terrifying us but being mad at us about it somehow the skinny olympics and what exactly we are supposed to do with this Perez Hilton debacle?We are trying our best to be zen Wen but It gets to a POINT. 00:00-10:19 - Intro: How I almost moved for no reason, and why I’m sometimes pro being ‘on an island’ be it peaceful or chaotic.10:20-13:37 - It has gotten to a point with Jools Lebron13:38-16:11 - Fame Sick by Lena Dunham feels like ‘it gets to a point’ a memoir13:39-27:39 - Skinny Olympics,Hunger Games- literally, Ariana Grande, and the disturbing resurgence of very normalized ,casual skiing,2005 deja vu, and the Ozempedemic.12:40-32:11 - As little as possible on Perez Hilton:Outro#socialmedia #viral #joolzlebron #discussion #influecers #lenadunham #popculture #perezhilton #early2000s #selfhelp #ozempic #semaglutide #skinnygirls #weightloss #chalizetheron #tiktok #contentcreators #arianagrande #podcast #podcasts #podcasting #psychology #media

    Back To Business

    I’m back from my little summer sabbatical and fresh off a roadtrip, on which me and producer/husband Charlie and road dog(literally-he’s a dog)Sly were a perfect team who kept it upbeat and zen even when faced with Pittsburg(I said what I said). Anyway, I’m refreshed and ready to yap about all the things that came across my desk while I was away.  Listening to podcasts and interviews on my long drives the last couple of weeks I’m wondering if we may not be going a little hard with the Hunter Biden hot takes,I break down my early impressions of House of Stassi informed but my OG knowledge of Vanderpump Rules Lore, and finally I give my never asked for opinion on the Nara Smith Call Her Daddy ,Tradwife, Schiapparelli fiasco. We are so back baby. 00:00-07:33 - Soft launching My angel number Psychosis, Involuntarily leveling up and new Chapters 07:36-14:51 - Roadtripping, Compatibility, and why I beef with Pennsylvania and AI 14:52-28:07 - House Of Stassi with Vanderpump Rules context, and The Valley contrast 28:39-32:25 - Hunter Biden:it gets to a point 32:46-38:38 - Nara Smith on Call Her Daddy #houseofstassi #stassischroeder #vanderpumprules #socialmedia #popculture #reality #narasmith #hunterbiden #viralvideos #podcast #funnyvideo #hulu #realitytv #currentaffairs #humor #tradwives #influencers

    Love Thy Libturd

    While watching ‘Couples therapy’ Dr.Orna’s prompt to a couple on opposite ends of the political spectrum was to ‘Take politics out of it and try to state what is important to you. While this technically led to the husband saying the wife had ’Trump derangement syndrome”(new term un-locked for me)it did give me an ‘aha’ moment. We all have a political hysteria, fatigue and raw nerve when it comes to our politics in this country right now. So maybe it would be productive to take Orna’s prompt here and have an honest, un-triggered, no slogan, no buzzword conversation between two libturds(We realized too late that our use of Libtard involves a word which we are not saying anymore-please don’t revoke or woke cards, I don’t know how quickly we can get to Portland forNeil Young to issue another)away from the charged pundit climate, just being ourselves. Maybe it will dispel some common misconceptions about us, maybe it will make it seem like less of a faceless monolith moving in blind obedience. I hope it will shed light on our core values, our intentions, our hopes, our ability to hold nuance, out willingness to call out our weaknesses, call out our bad eggs and try to turn this car around collectively. If you can get past the septum rings we can work on accepting the bottom liner. Hear us out.  00:00 - Intro chatter,Welcome back Charlie 01:50 - On Your Mind On Your Nerves Segment:Charlie vs. ‘Live Music’Enthusiasts 09:38 - OYMOYN Segment:Yasmeen Vs.Fire works 16:53 - Why we want to talk about our Lib,left,Snowflakeness thanks to Orna and Couples therapy(the show) 19:02 - Trump derangement Syndrome on Both sides 21:02 - What are we actually about as ‘left leaning’ people?
