The closing segment has Jason and Travis thank both guest groups — the Ertzes and Knoxville — and direct listeners to follow the show @NewH1GHTSShow, check out Jackass: Best and Last in theaters June 26th, and subscribe to Julie Ertz's Style of Play podcast with Kealia Watt on Spotify. Travis offers a heartfelt note about the 92 percenters tuning in every week and credits the production team. The episode's final comedic beat comes courtesy of Knoxville himself, who sticks around long enough to roast Jason's shirt — comparing it to whorehouse drapes — which Jason gamely defends as 'the seasons getting brighter.' It's a light, fond close to a dense, three-segment episode.
Zach Ertz is approximately 5-6 months out from surgery and training daily, with Julie by his side and three young boys keeping things chaotic at home.
Soccer predates American football by centuries and actually involves consistent use of feet — both Ertzes concede the point. Zach tries to defend American football but admits it's a tough argument in Europe.
Julie Ertz revealed her father was a kicker at LSU and used to train kids to kick and punt, giving her an early awareness of kicking mechanics.
Jason Kelce explains that saving 2 penalty kicks in a shootout puts a goalkeeper's team's chances of winning through the roof.
Jason Kelce notes that 1 in 5 World Cup elimination-round games are decided by penalty kicks, making it a surprisingly common tiebreaker.
Spencer Greenberg and Jeremy Stevenson analyzed almost 500 self-improvement techniques and found they all reduce to just 12 underlying psychological drivers.
Cold exposure has good short-term alertness benefits but the evidence base for long-term health benefits is much weaker than popularly believed.
In a randomized study of 20 habit-formation techniques run on hundreds of people, almost none of the techniques produced statistically meaningful results.
People given a tiny-habit fallback option (e.g. 10 squats instead of gym) were actually MORE successful at completing the full habit, not less.
The most effective habit-formation technique was 'habit reflection' — recalling a past successful habit, writing down what helped, then applying those lessons to a new habit.
A study found that simply scheduling enjoyable activities was as effective as standard cognitive behavioral therapy for depression, leading to its own therapy called behavioral activation.
The 'worry time' technique — deferring all worries to a designated time of day — helps people realize they have more control over worry than they thought and reveals it is less useful than it feels.
A study found that participants told to try to stay awake while in bed fell asleep faster than participants told to try to sleep — illustrating the paradox of direct effort.
Spencer Greenberg reduced his severe social anxiety dramatically in roughly 6 months through a structured exposure therapy hierarchy, culminating in asking strangers for hugs.
