This week, Robert takes us through his recent knee surgery (Happy 40th Birthday) and hobbling around for his holiday break.

Join the guys as they recap crazy family festivities and give a list of their favorite Christmas movies. As always, feel free to reach out to us at ⁠⁠DeepHopics@gmail.com⁠⁠.Thanks for listening!

Kyle and Robert explore the idea of learning styles—personal preferences for how people take in information, such as visual,auditory, or hands-on—and the many models that attempt to categorize them. While these frameworks are popular, the guys discuss major criticisms, including how difficult learning styles are to measure and the lack of strong evidence that people actually learn better when instruction is matched to apreferred style. Research suggests that most of us are naturally multi-sensory learners and that focusing too narrowly on one style may even be limiting. The key takeaway is that effective learning comes from using multiple methods,spacing practice over time, matching the teaching approach to the material itself, and reinforcing understanding by teaching others. Thanks for listening and we hope you enjoy! As always, feel free to reach out to us at ⁠DeepHopics@gmail.com⁠.Thanks for listening!

Just in time for the holiday season, the guys are breakingdown the hilariously whacky 1964 classic: Santa Claus Conquers the Martians! Joining the hosts this week is our resident shark expert and holiday movie enthusiast friend Chris! The group doesn't shy away from the hard questionssuch as: Which is the scarier villain to encounter in a snowstorm: A Devious Martian, a Polar Bear with Rabies, or Torg the Evil Robot? Can Santa bring holiday cheer to the poor Martian children? And what the heck is the deal withDropo the Martian? Join Robert, Kyle, and Chris for some holiday cheer and some cinematic nonsense! As always, thanks for listening.

Part Two of our Advice episodes is finally here! This week, Kyle and Robert discussed how to give advice. First things first, make sure you know what you are talking about! Don't use your friends as guinea pigs to test your random half-assed theories. Don't be afraid to ask the person if they are truly looking for advice, or just validation/acceptance/sympathy/encouragement.Finally, frame your advice in terms of how you would put it into practice, rather than issuing commands. If our Advice was helpful, please let us know at DeepHopics@gmail.com -Thanks for listening!
