All Day and All of the Night - The Kinks

You want to declutter. You want to downsize. You want to live more simply. So what's been holding you back from getting closer to those ideals?

My guest today sorts through both the psychological and practical roadblocks that can get in the way of living more minimally, and more in the present. His name is Matt Paxton, and he's a downsizing and decluttering expert, a featured cleaner on the television show Hoarders, the host of the Emmy-nominated show Legacy List With Matt Paxton which showcases people's heirlooms and treasures, and the author of Keep the Memories, Lose the Stuff: Declutter, Downsize, and Move Forward with Your Life.

We begin our conversation with how Matt got into cleaning out houses and working with hoarders, and some of the worst cases of hoarding Matt's seen. We then get into both the mindset and brass tacks tips he's learned from the most extreme cases of clutter that can be used by regular people who just want to pare down their stuff. We talk about why we can feel so attached to our possessions, and how to let them go, while still preserving your and your family's memories. Matt recommends how and where to get started with your decluttering, and offers tools, including creating a "maybe pile" and a "legacy list," for deciding what to keep and what to chuck, whether you're dealing with big items like furniture or small stuff like documents and pictures. Matt explains what to do with your stuff whether trashing, donating, upcycling, or selling, and how much you can reasonably expect to get when you do the latter (spoiler alert: it's a lot less than you think). We end our conversation with how, after you've decluttered your place, to keep it from getting clogged up again.

Oh, and we also discuss where to find hidden stashes of money when you're cleaning out the house of an older person who's died.

This is a really fun and interesting conversation that definitely motivated me to clean out our house.

Todd and Payne are back breaking down this week’s biggest games from a point spread perspective with NFL Week 2 Picks and Predictions including a BEST BET.  Crucial matchup analysis and key metrics will help get you to the betting window and cash your bets and daily fantasy football lineups.

We are not sure what Todd gave Payne to drink but it made him preview Bears at Packers for Sunday Night Football.  Aaron Rodgers has gaudy numbers against Chicago all-time and Justin Fields looked as pedestrian as one could in a victory.  Chargers at Chiefs.  Herbert versus Mahomes.  Whatever unfolds Thursday night will will be in for a treat.  Without Keenan Allen, where does Justin Herbert go with the football?  Saints showed stones coming from behind against Atlanta in their opener but it’s a different conversation against Tom Brady‘s Buccaneers.  Tampa Bay has a defense capable of flying all over the football field and it has the personnel to make Jameis Winston turn it over.

Dolphins were not prolific in their home opener against New England, but 1-0 is 1-0.  Miami treks to Baltimore to do battle with a Lamar Jackson led bunch who aren’t just thinking about winning a handful of games.  Playing out his contract, Jackson is poised to run his MVP season back but does he have enough weaponry to support his cause?  What do the Bills do for an encore after trashing the Rams on the road?  Ryan Tannehill looked good in the opener but might have a rough night ahead of him if Derrick Henry can’t get on track.

In-depth previews for NFL Week 2 include:

▶️ LA Chargers at Kansas City Chiefs (3:36)
▶️ Miami Dolphins at Baltimore Ravens (18:10)
▶️ Tampa Bay Buccaneers at New Orleans Saints (27:15)
▶️ Chicago Bears at Green Bay Packers (42:54)
▶️ Tennessee Titans at Buffalo Bills (51:00)
▶️ BEST BET 💰 (1:09:13)

When it comes to improving our lives and reaching our goals, we often think of changing our personal habits and routines. We think about ourselves, but don’t look outside ourselves. But my guest would say that if we really want to change and make progress, we also need to surround ourselves with positive, strengthening people, and in particular, five types of “allies of glory” who can truly help us be our best.

His name is Antonio Neves and he’s an author, speaker, podcaster, and success coach. Today on the show, Antonio and I discuss the importance of relationships in moving us forward in our personal and career goals, the difference between allies who facilitate that progress and the thieves who hinder it, and how to minimize the influence that the latter have on us. We then get into the five kinds of allies Antonio says we need in our lives, and he unpacks what each of these allies offers. We end our conversation with Antonio’s advice for how to find these allies and expand your social and professional networks.

#800: The 5 Allies Every Man Needs

Bookmakers #20 - L’auteur du mois : Mohamed Mbougar Sarr
Né à Dakar en 1990, Mohamed Mbougar Sarr est devenu – en 2021 et à 31 ans – le premier écrivain d’Afrique subsaharienne consacré par le plus prestigieux des prix littéraires français, le Goncourt, pour « La plus secrète mémoire des hommes », enquête au long cours et labyrinthe narratif enivrant, inspiré par le destin tragique du Malien Yambo Ouologuem (éditions Jimsaan / Philippe Rey). Mais avant le succès, ce wonderboy des lettres africaines était déjà l’auteur de trois romans diablement maîtrisés, aux sujets casse-gueule : « Terre ceinte » (2015, sur les milices djihadistes), « Silence du chœur » (2017, sur l’accueil de 72 migrants en Sicile) et « De purs hommes » (2018, sur l’homophobie au Sénégal). Il vit et travaille aujourd'hui à Beauvais (Oise).

En partenariat avec Babelio.

Mohamed compte triple (1/3)
« Il faut surveiller ce petit. » En 2014, Léonora Miano lit « La Cale », l’une des premières nouvelles d’un écrivain sénégalais de 24 ans. Frappée par la justesse de cette évocation des horreurs de la traite négrière qu’on croirait échappée d’un recueil de Conrad, la romancière franco-camerounaise formule un avertissement qui a l’épaisseur, aujourd’hui, d’une prophétie. Il fallait garder un œil, oh que oui, sur Mohamed Mbougar Sarr, fils de médecin, fan de foot et champion de Scrabble, dévoreur de dictionnaires, « fruit du croisement » d’au moins deux spiritualités : d’un côté, sa culture musulmane, de l’autre la culture sérère de son enfance, du nom de cette ethnie qui rassemble environ 20 % de la population du Sénégal. Un peuple essentiellement agricole, dit-il, « structuré autour d’une tradition animiste liée aux rites de passage et attentive aux ancêtres, au prochain, à l’hospitalité ».

Mais qui est donc ce jeune vieux sage à l’éloquence élégante, que la France découvre en novembre 2021 – lorsque celui-ci reçoit, à 31 ans, le Goncourt pour son quatrième roman, « La plus secrète mémoire des hommes » ? Quel fut le parcours de ce modeste étudiant qui parle, depuis ses 6 ans, le sérère, le wolof (langue vernaculaire du Sénégal) et le français ? « Lorsque j’écris, explique-t-il, je dois transposer en français l’imaginaire de ma langue maternelle. Je ne traduis pas d’une langue à l’autre, mais d’un imaginaire à l’autre. Je reste donc un étranger dans la langue française, qui est un héritage de la colonisation – ce qui peut mettre très mal à l’aise. Plutôt que d’en faire une difficulté, j’ai décidé d’assumer cette condition : une aventure ambiguë », conclue-t-il, en reprenant le titre du grand roman d’un maître et compatriote, Cheikh Hamidou Kane.

Dans ce premier épisode, partons à l’aventure dans les ambigüités fertiles de Mohamed Mbougar Sarr, du pagne de ses grands-mères à la bibliothèque du lycée militaire de Saint-Louis, jusqu’à son arrivée dans l’Oise, sa thèse abandonnée sur les débuts de la littérature postcoloniale en Afrique francophone, et… un blog, qui fut la serre de sa vocation, la serre de Sarr.

The elephant in the chamber? America’s midterms

When a small town relies on tourists flocking to its baths, will a report of dangerously polluted waters be enough to shut them down? Henrik Ibsen weighs the cost of public health versus a town’s livelihood and skewers the complicity of the masses in his classic and still timely play.

Includes a conversation with Joel K. Bourne, Jr., former senior environment editor for National Geographic, on man-made environmental disasters, climate change, and the state of the world's water supply.

This play is part of L.A. Theatre Works’ Relativity Series featuring science-themed plays. Lead funding for the Relativity Series is provided by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, bridging science and the arts in the modern world.
