On this episode of Friends Talking Nerdy, join Professor Aubrey and Tim the Nerd as they dive deep into a diverse array of topics, kicking off with the legendary Dolly Parton's newest musical endeavor: her album "Rockstar." They unravel the magic behind her collaborations with an eclectic mix of rock stars, prompting Tim the Nerd to draw intriguing parallels to Pat Boone's 90s album, "No More Mr. Nice Guy."
Moving into the realm of sports entertainment, Tim the Nerd takes the lead to dissect the WWE's Survivor Series, particularly highlighting the seismic shockwave caused by CM Punk's long-awaited return after nearly a decade away. His impassioned retelling of the emotional rollercoaster he experienced, complete with TV-screen-induced screams, sparks a discussion on the potential implications for the wrestling industry as a whole.
Shifting gears, Professor Aubrey and Tim the Nerd delve into the intricacies of managing high-conflict individuals during the holiday season, drawing insights from Tracy S. Hutchinson Ph.D.'s Psychology Today article, "7 Ways to Handle High Conflict People During the Holidays."
