Happy Friday fellow Kweenz with a reminder that it’s YOUR day and that we have another episode of RGF!  It was a long week for Kels and Kev as the duo continue to wear many hats to keep Better Together afloat. Their fatigue didn’t stop them from discussing WWE Hall of Famer Bob Backlund and his submission hold ‘the Chicken Wing’ and the metaphor within: how we end up in bad situations or at the mercy of bad people and the role awareness, or lack thereof, plays in it all. Kev and Kels discuss 7 things that block awareness and how awareness is generally an attribute of those who are successful. They briefly touch upon narcissists and whom they generally prey upon (hello Heal Squad) while offering two amazing, easy and cost effective beauty tips, PLUS how chair recliners aren’t just for Regular Guys, they’re for Regular Gals, too - and they can help raise your awareness (whaaaaaat????).   The Regular Duo shared other tidbits and anecdotes in between it all while of course reminding us that YASSSS, WE ARE ALL KWEENZ!!!! Ps please subscribe and comment to ‘Better Together with Maria Menounos’ on Apple Podcasts so Maria allows us to continue :) --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/better-together-w-maria/support

Youtube: https://youtu.be/c7fsVYlFsX0 As the election mounts, it seems like the country has never been less unified, but today's AMAZING #BetterTogether shows us there's still hope - lots of it.  Bishop Omar is a widely respected community leader in Dallas, who began his career as Texas' first gang negotiator, a job where he was asked to go into prisons and negotiate tense dynamics between some of the state's most notorious gang leaders, including Bloods, Crips, and Neo-Nazis.Omar's revolutionary approach to gang negotiations centers on recognizing the humanity in all people, and figuring out our "intersections of agreement" so that we can take steps forward, together, rather than backwards. Omar's beautifully articulate storytelling and outlook really spoke to me, and had me emotional!  This is an INCREDIBLE episode, and I believe that Omar is offering tools that can help heal the ever-increasing divide in our country. Watch, listen, subscribe to my channel (link in bio), and please share this episode with 3 people who need some #BishopOmar in their life. Also, make sure to watch #BetterTogether every weekday!  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/better-together-w-maria/support

Regular Guys and Gals it's YOUR day and a tired Kels and Kev are back to usher it in.  Holding down the fort again this week for Maria, Kev and Kels deep dive into the ramifications behind 'half measure' approaches to relationships, work, life and even leisure. Piggy backing off interviews this week with Adam Grant and David Dobrik, K and K discuss the healthy form of procrastinating and the power of doing nothing. Kev describes how to have a 'carnie vacation' and why it is the most effective kind of vaca to partake in, especially during tough times.  In addition, the duo discuss how to turn a 'coffee and a cruller' into the most polite means to engage in discussion and avoid confrontation while standing your ground.  They contemplate this weekend being Night of 1000 Kweenz 2 while agreeing we are all #Kweenz no matter what. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/better-together-w-maria/support
