  • Why Sinners Isn't Just a Vampire Movie

    Why Sinners Isn't Just a Vampire Movie
    Jan 21 2026
    Besties Stacy and Daynah sat down to talk about Sinners and, unsurprisingly, talked about a lot more than that. Not only do you get a bonus show on the feed, but you even get a rare personal update from Daynah. So yes, Sinners is a vampire movie. Yes, it’s technically horror. But it is also a sharp cultural critique about race, identity, ancestry, and the stories America keeps telling itself. We dig into why this film feels different, how modern horror has evolved into a space for serious storytelling, and what makes Sinners resonate beyond the genre. 00:00 | Why Sinners isn’t just a horror movie 08:10 | When genre becomes cultural commentary 16:05 | Race, identity, and who stories are for 24:30 | Daynah’s dating update (feminism as a litmus test) 29:50 | Art, ritual, and why this film lingers 38:15 | Why modern horror feels different now Find Stacy: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠realeverything.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠instagram.com/realstacytoth⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠missionmakersart.com⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠missionalchemists.com⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Is Burnout a Nervous System Problem? w/ Dr. Amir Vokshoor

    Is Burnout a Nervous System Problem? w/ Dr. Amir Vokshoor
    Jan 16 2026
    Despite what you may think (or what you've been told), burnout isn’t a mindset issue—it’s a nervous system response. Stacy talks with Dr. Amir Vokshoor, a board-certified neurosurgeon about how chronic stress reshapes the brain and body, why so many people are stuck in fight-or-flight, and how burnout, chronic pain, and trauma are biologically connected. We explore what modern life does to the nervous system and why healing requires more than willpower. If your body feels exhausted, overwhelmed, or unable to recover, this episode reframes burnout as a biological signal, not a personal failure. 00:00 | Is burnout a nervous system problem? 07:20 | Chronic stress and nervous system overload 14:50 | Pain, trauma, and energy depletion 22:30 | Recovery, regulation, and breath 30:40 | Prevention and brain-spine health Find Dr. Vokshoor: drvokshoor.com neurovella.com iamfoundation.org instagram.com/drvokshoor Use code STACY for a discount on neurosurgical consultation with Dr. Vokshoor!Find Stacy: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠realeverything.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠instagram.com/realstacytoth⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠missionmakersart.com⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠missionalchemists.com⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Why We’re Obsessed With Uncomfortable Stories

    Why We’re Obsessed With Uncomfortable Stories
    Jan 10 2026
    Be prepared for a little bit of everything in this bonus conversation as Stacy and Daynah cover a lot of cultural ground—from unsettling films and prestige TV to aging, beauty standards, and what women’s bodies are expected to look like in public. It’s messy, curious, occasionally unhinged, exactly the kind of media conversation we need right now. 00:00 | Body horror, discomfort, and unsettling cinema 06:00 | Yorgos Lanthimos and why we’re drawn to unease 12:00 | Pluribus, AI, and moral gray zones 20:00 | Aging, Botox, and frozen-face culture 28:00 | Radical self-acceptance and beauty standards 38:00 | Health, weight, GLP-1s, and cultural judgment 46:00 | All’s Fair, luxury porn, and power backlash Find Stacy: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠realeverything.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠instagram.com/realstacytoth⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠missionmakersart.com⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠missionalchemists.com⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

  • The Ugly Truths of 1981’s Clash of the Titans

    The Ugly Truths of 1981’s Clash of the Titans
    Jan 9 2026
    To kick off the new year, besties Stacy and Daynah revisit Clash of the Titans — not as nostalgia, but as a cultural artifact. From Medusa’s distorted origin story to the unchecked entitlement of male heroes, we unpack how victim-blaming, punishment, and “boys will be boys” logic are baked into Greek mythology. What starts as a fun rewatch quickly becomes a reckoning with who gets punished, who gets excused, and why these stories still shape how we understand power today. If you’ve ever loved a movie and later realized it aged… poorly, this one’s for you. 00:00 | Welcome & framing the rewatch 06:00 | Nostalgia vs. reality 12:00 | Medusa and victim-blaming myths 19:00 | Perseus, privilege, and hero entitlement 26:00 | Monstrosity, beauty, and punishment 33:00 | 1980s ratings, nudity, and blind spots 38:00 | Greek mythology as soap opera 42:00 | Why revisiting old stories matters Find Stacy: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠realeverything.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠instagram.com/realstacytoth⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠missionmakersart.com⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠missionalchemists.com⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Why is The Pitt So Good?

    Why is The Pitt So Good?
    Dec 26 2025
    Happy Holidays! It’s the “lost week” (and the last week) of the year and besties Stacy and Daynah finally share their thoughts on The Pitt. Spoiler alert: They agree with most of the internet – it’s good and feels so different from every other medical drama on TV. From grief, burnout, and moral injury to power, bias, and what good care actually looks like, they explore how the show captures the emotional and systemic realities of healthcare without turning them into spectacle. Along the way, they talk Noah Wyle’s perfectly calibrated performance, the weight of COVID-era trauma, why certain storylines hit uncomfortably close to home, and how The Pitt manages to be both devastating and deeply human. 00:00 | Opening + why The Pitt works 08:00 | Casting, Noah Wyle, and credibility 16:30 | COVID trauma and moral injury 25:00 | Burnout, systems, and impossible choices 33:45 | Bias, belief, and who gets care 42:15 | Violence, vulnerability, and the ER 50:30 | What good care actually means 56:30 | Final thoughts + why it lingers Find Stacy: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠realeverything.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠instagram.com/realstacytoth⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠missionmakersart.com⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠missionalchemists.com⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Can EMFs Help or Hurt Us?

    Can EMFs Help or Hurt Us?
    Dec 19 2025
    Former space shuttle chief engineer and military veteran Mark Fox joins Stacy to unpack some of the science, skepticism, and lived experience behind energy-based therapies. From cellular voltage and ATP to PTSD studies, EMFs, and the limits of what modern medicine measures well, this conversation explores what we know, what we don’t, and why “relief before reason” matters for people who’ve tried everything else. It's a curious discussion about healing, belief, evidence, and why the body may be more electrical than we’ve been taught. 0:00 | Mark’s path from NASA to energy therapy 3:30 | The dog story that cracked his skepticism open 7:00 | PEMF basics: what it is + why it’s “everywhere” 12:00 | The big claims: cell “recharge” + ATP boosts 17:00 | Science vs pseudoscience: what gets measured (and what doesn’t) 22:00 | PTSD + protocols: frequency “songs” and outcomes 27:00 | EMF fear, Schumann frequency, and “good vs bad” exposure 31:00 | What he wants to build next + where to find him Find Mark: Resona.Health What on Earth Are We Doing to Our Health by Mark L.

  • Is the Morning Show Still Empowering Women?

    Is the Morning Show Still Empowering Women?
    Dec 12 2025
    Besties Stacy and Daynah dig into whether season 4 of The Morning Show still delivers on its original promise of women-centered power or simply mirrors the same messy systems it once set out to critique. They break down ambition, accountability, and the ways women turn on each other, calling out what felt uncomfortably real, what went under-examined, and why certain storylines landed harder than others. Along the way, they share their own experiences with getting fired for setting boundaries and navigating midlife reckoning energy, before circling back to Corey discourse, Stella’s reckoning, Alex’s choices, and why “girlboss” narratives tend to collapse when real power enters the room. Together, they ask the real question: is this empowerment or just realism dressed up as progress? 0:00 | Holiday chaos & faking it 3:30 | Midlife reckoning energy 7:45 | Setting boundaries & getting fired 14:10 | Work, rejection & feeling disposable 19:30 | The Morning Show: too real or not critical enough? 26:00 | Women in power & girlboss collapse 33:40 | Corey discourse & mommy issues 41:20 | Stella’s reckoning & accountability 48:10 | Alex, ambition & questionable choices 54:30 | So… is this empowerment?

  • We're Not Done Talking about Love is Blind Denver

    We're Not Done Talking about Love is Blind Denver
    Nov 29 2025
    We thought we were done, but Denver said “actually, no.” We go deeper into the Love Is Blind reunion: PTSD vs. ASD discourse, Edmond’s survival patterns, performative apologies, and why Jordan remains the only man we trust. We talk trauma, nervous systems, manipulation as a coping strategy (not a villain origin story), and what reality TV accidentally teaches us about emotional maturity.
