Why is it easier to uphold promises to others instead of ourselves? What is mental violence? What are self fulfilling prophecies and how do we manifest them. When is shame a good thing? When did Maria know she 'made it' and what's the REAL story behind her getting there. Why work hard play hard may be a myth? What is the best natural remedy for preventing disease and prolonging life? Why focus on process over results creates wins and why focus on goals creates losses and how habits make up the process? Announcements on the new MariaMenounos.com, a Sunday show and our PSA movie to win the war on drugs must be produced by the Better Together Players.

When the people that matter mind and when to pay no mind to those that don't. When farmers lecture pigs. When you value process over results. When addictions help you. When working less does more. When you do half the work for your therapist. When the rules of the game are harder for some. When you make time as important as currency. When you spend more time to suss game peep game then get love bombed and ghosted. When West Elm Caleb, or any Hinge guy, makes you a playlist. When Johnny Thunder replaces Ava Max on days you don't feel like a #Kween. Bye Betches. #johnnythunders

On today’s show we have actress, model, entrepreneur and mother Brooke Shields. Ever since her acting debut at 11 months old, she has lived her entire life in the spotlight. She shares what it was like growing up in the public eye, reveals how she got through the media scrutiny, and opens up about how she really feels about that infamous Barbara Walters interview. Brooke also talks about her own insecurities and what helped her stop comparing herself to others. Why just because you are able to do everything, doesn’t mean you should. Her tips on parenting. And how she is embracing her age instead of running from it, and how you can too! In September 2021, Brooke launched her own digital wellness brand “Beginning Is Now” which creates a supportive space for women over 40, inspiring women of every age to live their fullest lives on their own terms!

And...how role models fit into your journey? How you maintain New Year goals? How you pursue dreams over 50? How rich kids have it? How to create work-home boundaries? How to maintain a work-life balance when pursuing dreams? Most importantly, how Better Together is considering reviving the 80's war on drugs, shooting a PSA set in high school, starring BT Players Maria Menounos, Kelsey Meyer, Pooja Nayyar as students, where, in the end, they unite to perform as a music group in order to summarize and share all the valuable lessons they learned? Just when you think we have all the answers, you change the questions. Ask the Manager and you shall receive...answers as well as a show transcript and a signed 8x10, too, IF you have a self addressed stamped envelope.

The cost of being grateful. The three ways to break up with a friend. The truth about waking sleepwalkers and raising awareness to those who lack self-awareness. The truth over when the truth is not the best option. The technique to employ before any act of giving. The same technique to employ when dealing with narcissists, criminals and enemies. The four word technique to employ against bosses or anyone else who disagrees that Friday is your day. The practice of comedy defiance and the fact that Cinderella isn't the only one to attend Balls. Kelsey attended a Military Ball in college, Keven attended a Soccer Ball in high school, Poojah never attended a ball and the RGF Ball will be 'ah-mazing' but who's got the biggest balls of them all? Shuffle off to Buffalo and stay #Krisp. Bye Betches. #Kweenz

The existence and handling of 'legacy friendships.' The need to examine invites: is your attendance at that kid bday party, baby or bridal shower 'meaningful'? How 50% of those with fewer social connections experience this.

Why the “down and dirty” approach trumps the “intelligent” approach. How you can determine if a business will be successful with just 2 questions. Why business school is not necessary. The one thing you should be looking for when hiring people. The key to getting over rejection. Why your biggest drawback may actually be your superpower.

Heal Squad, brace yourselves. You've endured Regular guy Fridays and Pot luck Saturdays but are you ready for “Ask The Manager Mondays?” Kev steps in and channels Dana Hersey's old show from Boston's WSBK ch. 38 by answering YOUR questions. How do you get out of a funk? How can you overcome seasonal depression? How do you find patience when you’re ready for a big move, but lack the means? How do you deal with jealous people, or as the cool kids say, what do you do when someone is totally jelly donuts? Is regret worse than failure? You’ll have to wait until next Monday for that answer. Is this the first and last episode of “Ask The Manager Mondays”? That’s up to you! Let us know if you like it and if you do, maybe this will become a permanent part of Better Together… 

How most people are too rooted in beliefs to ever see the truth. How the truth won't exonerate you when dealing with narcissists - or their followers. Why sometimes followers of narcissists deserve your empathy. When and who to share the truth with. How swearing less, impacts more. How @theMinimalists, @DailyStoics and @StevenBartlett share the same secret to overcome traumas.. When your bosses yell at you over the phone, mute yourself, stick your tongue out and twerk to Miley Cyrus and Robin Thicke's performance. When you want to be inspired to not care what others think, watch the performance again! Talking RGF Forgiveness Tour '22, update on our 'How to Build Your Throne in a Sea of Kweenz' upcoming RGF book deal, Junkie Outward Bound, Fun Boy Island and knowing that when you're backed against the wall, Comedy Must Rule.

You are consciously trying to improve yourself and your life. As a result, you get pushback from people you're close to. On today’s episode, we talk about how those around you react to your growth. How many only learn to adjust, rather than change and how that can be okay. How you may be too available. How you must go where you're celebrated not tolerated. How some around you are jealous of the work you're doing and unwilling to do it themselves. How great spirits always get opposition from mediocre minds. How your happiness is always directly related to your peer group. How proximity can maintain some friendships. How this may be the episode to replay and share!

Romper, bomper, stomper boo, Regular Guys and Gals tell me do! On this RGF: THIS is the reason we over-consume and THIS is the proven means to stop. THIS way of consuming makes you sad. THIS way brings you joy. THIS untold truth about human beings brings you peace. THIS technique to employ when arguing. THIS is what true power looks like. THIS is why you must be angry and THIS is what to do after that. THIS is the non cheugy way to do peace sign selfies, THIS is the real reason the Fonz jumped the shark and THIS just in: the American F Machine, @stephenlemieuxphoto, is heading to work on @Fboyisland. OMG is right. Happy Friday, betches. 

How many of you feel like you’ve lived in fight or flight your whole life? Maria has and always considered this to be one of her weaknesses.

Hint - it is MUCH easier than you think to do so! We hope you enjoy.

On today’s show, Maria sits down for one of our most vulnerable interviews to date with The White Lotus star Brittany O’Grady. She reveals, for the first time ever, her struggles with body-image issues. Brittany also discusses her experiences with bullying, both growing up and in the industry, and shares what helped her heal. We learn why pain and suffering are actually happening FOR you. And lastly, Maria reminds us that you have the power to use your voice and own your power.  

Feel like you've failed at 2022 before it's even started? Haven't got a handle on what you wanna do or accomplish? Here's why that's a good thing. Why you can be more productive by doing less. Why YouTube Yoga Nidra may be THE cure for anxiety. Why alcohol tastes better, the less you drink it and when it tastes best in your 20's. Why you cant always do it alone and why life organizer friends and professionals are worth it.  Why Miley Cyrus is amazing hosting New Year's Eve celebrations.

Hey Kweenz, we fooled 'em again - we made it through another YEAR and to the last Regular Guy Friday of 2021. The Ava Max line from 'King's and Queen's' you wrongfully ignored. The definition of Real Friends vs Rock Star Friends and why it's okay to have both. The New Year's resolution to be more out for self is best applied when you lack this intention. The social media postings of your year end accomplishments are great when you lack this other intention. The social media postings of your year end accomplishments are even greater when you apply this '1% barometer.' The list of people you create before the year's end may predict success for the following year. The thought that maybe it's less about being more out for self and more about being more self-reliant. The theory that every time you go on a trip, you return a different person. The magic mirror Miss Jean used to thank the Romper Room audiences works just as well to thank RGF audiences.  The fact that Kelsey forgot the RGF signature sign-off message, after almost 40 shows, means maybe we have another 40 shows to do. The three things you MUST continue in the New Year: 1) Be a Kween 2) Stay Krisp 3) Keep scamming (while doing the work). Bye 2021, Betches! See you at Club Freeze. #Krisp #Kweenz

Why Thursdays you don't need make-up, just ask Jess Glynn. Why making a 'life annoyance list' is the most important New Year step toward a better you, just ask Maria. Why removing those items from your life is the second most important step, just listen to Maria. Why making a list of small, attainable goals is the third most important step, just ask Keven. Why making certain, specific life adjustments may help you find your ideal mate, just ask Kelsey. Why you may want to mesh your creative pursuits into your day job, just ask Pooja. Why it's still all about hard work and sacrifice to achieve success yet as much about detachment. Why the last two years may have set you back, yet also set you forward. Why Freeze remains the best underground nightclub in LA, why Komebacks are spelled with a 'K', why calling things 'Krisp' is huge with Eastern European teens. So Heal Squad, here's to our last BT show of '21 and to Krisp Kween Komebacks in '22. See you at Freeze. #Krisp #KomebackKweenz

Happy Wednesday as Better Together's Very Covid Christmas Week continues to deliver you fresh new episodes daily. How Wednsdays are the day to get it right, just ask Johnny Cash. How being sick at home while the rest of the world is on vacation may not be the worst thing, just ask Keven. How being sick at home may force you to be present and how being present may force you to appreciate more, just ask Maria. How being the one to help others even when no one helps you is cause for appreciation, not bitterness, just ask Marcus Aurelius. How you can't allow anyone to put you in a box, just ask Leeza Gibbons. How you may see yourself as weak when all along others saw you as strong, just ask the cast of One Tree Hill. How no matter what traumas you've endured, you're still standing and why that's the biggest win of all, just ask Elton John. How you never lose unless you quit, just ask Bob Backlund. How Mr. Miyagi trained with movement, spirituality and nature as enemies trained with violence and who really wins by the end, just watch Karate Kid III. After that, watch #CobraKai which drops this weekend. Stay #Krisp Heal Squad!

A Very Covid Christmas Week continues as does Better Together's commitment to deliver new content daily. How recliner's are so underrated, just ask Keven. How roller coasters and life are similar and how managing the highs, lows , exhilarations and fears are essential, just ask Maria. How managing fear may be the key to life, just ask Sly Stallone. How embracing a new normal and dealing with what is, rather than what was, is crucial. How anxiety blocks creativity and your dreams and how scheduling your creative endeavors may be essential. How detachment from success may lead to more of it and why wasted talent may be the biggest faux pas of all. How 'goin' to the club on a Tuesday got the girl in the cut and she ain't choosey' may not make sense to you but does to Turkish DJ Burak Yeter.  And BTW, why does Tuesday get such a bad rap? Why shouldn't we Kweenz hit the club on Tuesday? THESE are the important questions. Stay #Krisp #HealSquad. 

Didn't have the perfect Instagram Christmas? Neither did we! Maria, Keven, Winnie and Max are down for the count but prove we are still Better Together, delivering fresh new episodes - albeit from bed. When we get sick over holidays and vacation it's for this very reason. How these home treatments may be able to navigate you through flu and colds. How pet's getting ill or injured over holidays can sometimes be remedied at home. How texting loved ones who have passed may help you cope. How your Christmas may have been better than you think and a reminder of the holiday's true meaning. The official date Christmas ends and when to take down decorations. Installing steam showers, buying portable steamers online, the best means to refinish hardwood floors, cool retro songs about Mondays, how underrated singer Mama Cass was, a reminder that Lowes will have Christmas trees and decorations on it's floors by August and the usual random ramblings received when Keven gets to co-host. Happy Christmas week!

Heal Squad and Better Together Fans, put down your notepads and put up your feet, cuz it's Christmas Eve Eve! Former show producer Jeff Graham joins today's episode with Kev, Pooja and Kelsey to explain: How Christmas Eve Eve is it's own holiday. . How to celebrate Christmas Eve Eve and how Christmas Eve Eve may be even BETTER than Christmas? How going home to be with parents is a means to recapture Christmas. How some childhood bedrooms are preserved like a time capsule from your past while others are redecorated like a room from the Sheraton. How Christmas ornaments can salute the past and maintain tradition in the most practical way. How working on Christmas can be just as special and how we should treat others we meet that do. How less shopping at the mall can conjure more Christmas spirit. How being a cool mom is cool as long as you're still a Mom. How Better Together will deliver fresh content throughout the holidays. Oh who cares! Merry Christmas Eve Eve and same onto you.

Hey Kweenz, Christmas Eve is here and, as promised, so is RGF. How going home, or being with people from your past, can return you to your eight year old self and what can be done to resist. How not stepping on false accusations can make them truths. How much the name of your business, or title of your project, equates to success. Just ask @prettylittlebakers. How there's a difference between civilians and samurai and the importance of knowing both. How carnies named Popcorn and Clyde can teach us the difference between a Tuesday and a Saturday and how knowing the right answer factors into achieving the loftiest goal.   Are you, or have you ever been, a Pick Me Girl or Guy? Are you, or have you been, a Main Character? Is there anything more important than being popular or getting likes?  A HUGE RGF book announcement, tentative title: How to Build Your Throne in a Land of Kweenz. Rankin and Bass tells us that Christmas is what you make it and RGF tells us this, or any, holiday season you're never alone. LOOK FOR FRESH BETTER TOGETHER CONTENT DURING THE ENTIRE HOLIDAY WEEK! Bye Christmas Betches.

It's Christmas week and Maria, along with Keven, sit on their recliners, treeside, to discuss using this time wisely to set up for the best New Year. Maria shares tips on how she will implement improvements and how you can, too. It's not just about New Year's Resolutions, it's about Marriage Resolutions, too. Resolutions can be skipped altogether when in this situation. Coming back from life's devastations begins with these two steps. Purpose may be something you discover ONLY at the end of your life. You are most likely living your purpose now and just don't know it. These actions will lead you to discover success and fulfillment. Couples need to remove this one thing from their bedrooms. Olivia Culpo will be watching 'It's a Wonderful Life' with Maria and these are the Christmas specials to watch. Happy shopping!!

Hay Kweenz, time for another edition of Regular Guy Friday. Random Texts of Kindness are worth sending. 'Twas the Night Before Christmas on Apple TV is worth watching - and essential viewing for any aspiring Narcissist Hunter OR anyone who finds themselves in the crosshairs of a narcissist.
