  • Terrible Quality

    Your recording is filled with bangs and booms, and crazy background distractions. It is very annoying and unprofessional.

  • Unfortunate Audio Issues

    Enjoy the content and selection of guests BUT every time Peter touches the table, you hear a small boom. Audio in general is uneven. Easily solved with mic arms, EQ adjustment, and Compression filter!

  • Great, usually

    Usually great, but Rick Glassman

    It’s not a good interview. It’s because of him, not the hosts.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Can You Survive the Mental Toll of Space? Astronaut Reveals All | Really? no Really?
Q: Are you a believer in alien life out there?
Reisman believes life exists elsewhere and thinks evidence of past life may eventually be found on Mars. He says he has seen no convincing evidence that aliens have visited Earth.
Can You Survive the Mental Toll of Space? Astronaut Reveals All | Really? no Really?
Q: If you can go up with antidepressants, but families like that, you're up there. You have a relationship with your family, your kids, events, whatever. You're only a human being. Stuff can take you out, which impacts the other people in the space. They can at that time, your chores, your tests, all of that.
Reisman says NASA provides private calls with psychologists and a behavioral support team. Conversations are treated as private medical information, though operational risks must be shared with mission leadership.
Can Kindness Bring People Together? Daniel Lubetzky Has a Plan | Really? no Really?
Q: How do you make a decision on the fly when you are evaluating a product on Shark Tank?
Lubetzky assumes every product has competition, evaluates the product and market, and relies on experience to assess the entrepreneur's character, integrity, curiosity, and ability to learn from setbacks.
Can Kindness Bring People Together? Daniel Lubetzky Has a Plan | Really? no Really?
Q: What information did you have that made you believe KIND would grow, and why were you so invested in it?
Lubetzky says a decade of mistakes with PeaceWorks gave him pattern recognition and business discipline. He created KIND because he needed a healthy snack while working long hours, and early customer recommendations helped the product grow.
The Future Of Alternative Energy or Another Chernobyl? | Really? no Really?
Q: Where are we in this nuclear renaissance, and what does smaller mean for new reactors?
Dewan says small and microreactors are intended for remote communities, military backup power and potentially data centers, but no data-center reactor projects have broken ground. Companies seeking electricity sooner are more focused on restarting mothballed plants, including units at Three Mile Island, Diablo Canyon and Palisades.
