Show Notes for Wednesday, May 03, 2023


Today we visit with actor and game show host John Michael Higgins! (Pitch Perfect, The Break-Up, Best In Show and much more) We will talk about his NEW game show SPLIT SECOND. It can be weekdays on Game Show Network. This is John Michael Higgins' second show on Game Show Network. He previously hosted America Says, running for five seasons and over 500 episodes to date.

Based on a format from game show legend Monty Hall, Spilt Second asks three contestants to decide in a split second which of three general interest trivia questions they can answer. The first player to buzz in gets the first pick, and the last player is left to answer whatever is left, which is often the most difficult. The player with the fastest response time and the highest success rate answering questions over the first three rounds advances to the bonus game where their ability to answer a rapid-fire series of questions could win them $10,000.

Split Second is produced by Game Show Enterprises Studios with Michael Binkow as executive producer. Nancy Glass, Marcus Lemonis, and Sharon Hall also serve as executive producers for Marcus/Glass Productions. John Michael Higgins serves as host and executive producer. https://origin-www.gameshownetwork.com

University of Queensland scientists say they’ve figured out why we sometimes forget what we’re doing when walking into a new room. While previous studies have found that walking through a doorway creates a new episode or “event boundary”, making it more difficult to recall our purpose. The new research determined that passing through doorways that joined identical rooms usually didn’t impact memory – perhaps because there wasn’t enough of a changed context to create an event boundary. It was only when these researchers distracted their volunteers, that the doorways between identical rooms affected memory. The team says this falls in line with the theory that it’s mostly when we’re distracted that we’re likely to arrive in a room and forget what we came for.

Steven Soderbergh’s 2001 heist comedy “Ocean’s Eleven” remains one of the director’s most star-studded affairs thanks to an ensemble that included George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Julia Roberts, Don Cheadle and more. But it turns out the group wanted even more star power. Clooney recently confirmed reports that both Mark Wahlberg and Johnny Depp were approached to star in the movie. Quote: “Some very famous people told us to (take) right off. Mark Wahlberg, Johnny Depp. There were others. They regret it now. I regret doing (bleeping) Batman.”

Dr. Darshana Sedera, deputy dean and director of the Digital Enterprise Lab at Southern Cross University, says there appears to be a correlation between the number of social media platforms a user uses and the amount of content they store. And when it comes to this rather new phenomenon, not all generations are affected equally. Gen Xers and Millennials are both likely to display symptoms of digital hoarding, but for the younger generations, especially digital natives, “it is logical to expect even greater levels of hoarding behavior”.

Are you having a hard time making a big decision? Maybe you’re trying to negotiate your way through a sticky business problem, maybe you can’t make up your mind about what to do about a situation at home, or are caught between two choices in a personal or relationship matter. Well, don’t worry – I got you. There’s a simple, 7-word question you can ask yourself, which is grounded in neuroscience, that can guide you through indecision, help overcome ‘analysis paralysis’, and lead you to make better, bolder choices. Simply ask yourself: “What is the worst that could happen?” It’s a long explanation on why this works, but in short, when you’re faced with indecision, ask yourself that question. Then, look for any indications that it’s not your fear of the outcome that stops you from acting, but instead, your fear of how you might FEEL, if that worst-case scenario comes to fruition. If you “inoculate” yourself against that anticipated emotion, you might just be able to make the decision.
