And when the people who live right next door are engaging in potentially chaotic behavior-like blowing their leaves onto the street in front of our place, or attaching something to the shared fence with screws that poke through the wood on our side-I put all my energy into convincing myself that I didn't see anything. Sure, I'm conflict avoidant, but I'm also a Scorpio. If I allow myself to notice my neighbors' offenses... baby, you've got a feud going!

At first blush, a form like reality TV and a show like The Bachelor might seem like an odd subject for a show about breaking the rules. How is it even possible to cheat on a show where the mechanics of competition are simply trying to get the lead to like you? The more cynical-minded might ask, Isn't this all scripted by producers anyway?

I grew up with three brothers. Several canon events in the '90s shaped our dynamic to this day. There was a certain game of Risk. There was the day mom relinquished her Hi8 video camera to us with no strings attached. A bike accident here, a rock thrown down the stairs there. I'll never forget (nor forgive) the "snowball fight" with algae at the river. While we were careening through these incidents, most of the time we were unaware that we were making history.

Is Lewis Black okay? That's the natural fear many fans had when the comedian who has been mad-as-hell-and-not-going-to-take-it-anymore for decades announced that he actually wasn't going to do it anymore. The now 77-year-old stand-up legend has retired from touring, and his recent Goodbye Yeller Brick Road performances were his last. But Black, the longest-serving contributor to The Daily Show, whose appearances started back in 1996 when Craig Kilborn (remember him?) was still the host, is not finished with comedy.

During the red carpet for the GQ Man of the Year party ( note: this is not a party for the Lorde song), How Long Gone podcast hosts Jason Stewart and Chris Black asked Colbert the questions we were dying to know the answers to, like how much money he has in his 401k after retiring ("By retiring, you mean firing") and if he was going to grow a beard like David Letterman ("I am going to stop waxing from the neck down.").

We're back, baby! And we're kicking off our ninth season of Normal Gossip by gabbing it up with Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai! In this episode, Rachelle and Malala dig into such questions as whether it's a good idea to let your college roommate plan a "dirt cheap" trip to Europe for you, whether hitchhiking is an important life experience, and whether comparing hand sizes always means you want to bone.

A military mom wants to know how specific she should be with her kids about her spouse's upcoming deployment. They commiserate, and offer suggestions for how to keep the absent spouse involved even while they are away.

Sam Sanders is many things: journalist, podcaster, pop-culture obsessive, and a familiar voice from public radio. He's also "quite possibly the world's most hesitant homeowner." Sam wants to fix up the house he recently bought, but three things are holding him back: First, he doesn't have a clue where to start. Second, he's not very handy. And third, he's intimidated by the thought of talking with contractors (who might discover the first two things about him).

This September when SNL announced its season 51 cast, Ego Nwodim made the cut. Then, just days later, she announced on social media that she was leaving the show. "The hardest part of a great party is knowing when to say goodnight," she wrote. In this episode, she talks about learning to trust her body when making big decisions, growing up in a family of workaholics,

Today on the show, we're bringing you five stories that you need to know about this week, including why the promise of a tech-forward school in Texas with software instead of teachers fell apart. I'm joined by our senior politics editor, Leah Feiger. Hey Leah.

Dratch, who wore an all-navy outfit with a small bird-pendant necklace, was exploring Stick Stone & Bone, a West Village boutique that hawks woo-woo wares: gems, jewelry, incense. Nose-ringed clientele browsed quietly; jazzy piano twinkled softly from above. The shop had been recommended by Amy Poehler, Dratch's close friend and podcast guest. On the show, Dratch and her co-host, Irene Bremis, a comedian and Dratch's high-school pal, are regaled by familiar faces' woo-woo tales: Tina Fey's spooky Jersey vacation town, Will Forte's Ouija high jinks, Gloria Steinem on the intuition of the oppressed. Dratch said that Poehler is, generally, "the ultimate skeptic" of woo-woo-ness.

A pean-ette!

Hosted by Startup Battlefield Editor Isabelle Johannessen, Build Mode is a survival guide for early-stage founders navigating the messy, high-stakes chaos of building a company from scratch. No sugarcoating. No hype. Just candid conversations and tactical advice from the people who've done it before and have the scars (and term sheets) to prove it. Starting November 13, Isabelle will sit down with founders, VCs, and operators to unpack the real stories behind the build.

But only because I had assumed he already had one. It seemed impossible that the life peer was the last purveyor of strong opinions to have no permanent platform on Acast. Perhaps he has simply been too content to vent: after all, Brexit is a triumph and cricket is racism-free. But perhaps he was cannily waiting for the dadcasting trend to peak and usher in the age of the granddadcast.

I can be horribly smug and conceited, and yet always in the back of my mind is the thought that things could go terribly wrong at any moment. What is the trait you most deplore in others? Aggression. Anger. Rudeness. Intolerance. Lack of understanding. Pretty much your average day on X. What was your most embarrassing moment? I've shat myself in public three times. It's never quite as bad as you fear.

It looks like Euphoria season three is getting a cast upgrade as internet icon, Trisha Paytas, has seemingly joined the next season of the hit HBO show. The Zendaya-led series has reportedly wrapped shooting for the long-delayed season. Updates have been coming through here and there but we still remain light on details. So, trust Paytas to whip up a frenzy. During the latest episode of her podcast Just Trish, Paytas and Oscar Gracey were discussing Benito Skinner/Benny Drama, also of Internet fame as well as Overcompensating.

Amy Poehler may be the most-liked woman in Hollywood. Her latest project, the mega-popular podcast "Good Hang with Amy Poehler," certainly encourages that impression. It's perhaps her biggest platform since the hit series "Parks and Recreation," in which she played the idealistic bureaucrat Leslie Knope, went off the air a decade ago. And while many of her former co-stars have branched out into new territory- Aziz Ansari by reinventing himself as a melancholy romantic in "Master of None,"
