This week, in what might be the funniest episode yet, Molly and Emese are joined by co-stars Amy Schumer and Brianne Howey. They get candid about motherhood, career evolution, and their new film, Kinda Pregnant —which unexpectedly led to Amy’s latest health discovery. Amy opens up about how public criticism led her to uncover her Cushing syndrome diagnosis, what it’s like to navigate comedy and Hollywood as a mom, and the importance of sharing birth stories without shame. Brianne shares how becoming a mother has shifted her perspective on work, how Ginny & Georgia ’s Georgia Miller compares to real-life parenting, and the power of female friendships in the industry. We also go behind the scenes of their new Netflix film, Kinda Pregnant —how Molly first got the script, why Amy and Brianne were drawn to the project, and what it means for women today. Plus, they reflect on their early career struggles, the moment they knew they “made it,” and how motherhood has reshaped their ambitions. From career highs to personal challenges, this episode is raw, funny, and packed with insights.

大象所付出的感情與靈性,比我們想像中的還豐富? Do you know that elephants have amazing memories? They may not have the greatest eyesight (視力)in the animal kingdom, but they never forget a face. In addition to (除了⋯)having great memories, elephants are also very intelligent. They can solve puzzles, do simple math, and use tools. A recent study suggests that they may even address (稱呼)each other by name. Scientists from Colorado University analyzed 49 elephant calls from wild African elephants. With the help from AI, scientists discovered that elephants could recognize name-like calls. Elephants seem to assign a particular sound to the individual(個體). Next scientists want to find out more about how elephants use names. Elephants have many humanlike behaviors. In addition to addressing each other with names, elephants also celebrate when they meet friends after time apart(許久未見). They also seem to grieve (哀悼)when a member of their community passes away. So by knowing more about elephants, we also learn more about human behaviors. ☕️想以行動支持李老師繼續說英文故事,來請老師喝杯咖啡,讓學習的湧泉源源不絕吧! https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 💁🏻♀️李老師的Facebook與Instagram: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 💁🏻小幫手Aaron的Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…
既然AI都來搶藝術家飯碗了,會不會以後的美與醜,都是AI機器人說了算? When ChatGPT was first introduced to the world, we were at first impressed with what AI could do. Pretty soon we were hit with the reality(遭受現實打擊) that many jobs today would one day cease to exist(不存在) because they would be replaced by AI. One field that people believe might be rendered obsolete(視為過時) is arts, and it might happen faster than you think. In November last year,a painting created by a humanoid(人形機器人), a human-like robot with a female voice and short, black hair, was sold at an auction for 1.08 million dollars. The artwork is called AI God, and it’s a portrait of Alan Turing, a 20th century British mathematician whose ideas led up to the development of computers and artificial intelligence. People are debating over (爭論不休)whether an artwork made by a robot can be labeled as art. Clearly more debates similar to this issue will take place in the future as artificial intelligence takes over more human jobs. ☕️想以行動支持李老師繼續說英文故事,來請老師喝杯咖啡,讓學習的湧泉源源不絕吧! https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 💁🏻♀️李老師的Facebook與Instagram: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 💁🏻小幫手Aaron的Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…
At the beginning of a new year, many people like to make New Year Resolutions(新年新希望), but most resolutions tend to focus on oneself. For example, some people want to lose weight, some want to get better grades, some wish to find a partner, and some resolve to go to bed earlier. Although there’s nothing wrong with self-improvement, experts have suggested that focusing on the relationships between people around us may go a long way(長期而言) to making us happier. One long-running study on human happiness shows that our interpersonal relationships (人際互動關係)are essential to our well-being(身心健康). So how can one make New Year Resolutions around bettering our relationship? Well, you can start small by simply noticing the times when people help you. This can shift your perspective (改變觀點)to remember that happiness isn’t something we achieve alone. Another relationship goal you can try to set is turning a solo pursuit into a two-person goal. For example, if there’s a sibling that you want to have more connection with, you can just call and say something like, I was thinking that we don’t see each other often enough, and I’d like to spend more time with you in the new year. Can we work on this together? Ultimately creating moments of love will make your life more meaningful! 💁🏻♀️李老師的Facebook與Instagram: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 💁🏻小幫手Aaron的Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…
Do you know that from September 29 to November 25, the moon won’t be the only celestial being (天體)that orbits (繞行)the earth? If you look up into the space using a high definition telescope(高畫質望遠鏡), you will in fact see a mini moon, an asteroid named 2024 PT5. An asteroid(隕石) is a small rocky object that travels around the sun. After November 25, this mini moon will leave the earth‘s gravitational pull(地心引力) and fling back into the outer space. Even though we can’t see it with our naked eye since it’s only the size of a school bus, I personally think it’s so comforting to know that besides the moon, our planet will have a new companion for two months in this vast universe. And this asteroid will return to earth’s orbit again in 2025 and 2055. Scientists are interested in getting to know more about asteroids because they contain minerals (礦物質)and water that could be useful to humans in the future in our space exploration. ☕️想以行動支持李老師繼續說英文故事,來請老師喝杯咖啡,讓學習的湧泉源源不絕吧! https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 💁🏻♀️李老師的Facebook與Instagram: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 💁🏻小幫手Aaron的Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…
For people who bet in the future of electric vehicles, this will be an exciting piece of news. Researchers in Arkansas, a state in the Midwest of the US, have announced that they have found huge reserve of lithium (鋰的儲備區)in southern region of the state. Lithium is a valuable, scarce raw material that’s needed to make batteries for electric vehicles. According to the scientists involved, there might be five to nineteen million tons of lithium (鋰)buried in that geological area, which will be more than enough to make the world‘s demand(需求). However, they need to figure out how to extract lithium without causing too much destruction (破壞)on the environment. Most of us probably don’t know that lithium is tough to mine and has been linked to pollution, water depletion (水源浩劫)and other environmental problems. So actual mining of it won’t take place any time soon. ⛽️石油即將開採殆盡的世紀,卻又發現新能源所需的資源,是不是開始對未來感到無限可能了呢?♾️ ☕️想以行動支持李老師繼續說英文故事,來請老師喝杯咖啡,讓學習的湧泉源源不絕吧! https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 💁🏻♀️李老師的Facebook與Instagram: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 💁🏻小幫手Aaron的Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…
Remember back in elementary school days, you are asked to memorize that there are seven continents in the world. And they are Asia, Europe, North America, South America, Antarctica, Africa, Oceania. You are even asked to do some worksheets to help you memorize all of the seven. Well, that number might change in the future. According to an October article in the New York Times, based on any maps, one can clearly see that Asia and Europe are connected, which is why they are often called Eurasia. If this observation is true, shouldn’t there be just six continents? Moreover, North America and Asia are connected by Bering Sea Shelf, which was once dry land 15000 years ago, and that was how prehistoric humans migrated transcontinentally. Looking from this perspective, aren’t Asia, Europe, and North America technically one continent? So we would end up with only five continents? The disagreement occurs partly because there are two definitions of continents:those recognized by cultures around the world and those recognized by geologists. Both of these two don’t offer clear cut explanations and definitions. One group of geologists even go as far to say that there are only two continents on Earth, Antarctica and everything else. If this train of belief becomes mainstream, imagine how we will all have to relearn everything. 以地理學的觀點來重新認識地球上七大洲,洲洲其實有相連。以前死背背那麼多… 反而越想越心酸?😭 Asia 亞洲 Europe 歐洲 North America 北美洲 South America 南美洲 Antarctica 南極洲 Africa 非洲 Oceania 大洋洲 Eurasia 歐亞大陸 Bering Sea 白令海 ☕️想以行動支持李老師繼續說英文故事,來請老師喝杯咖啡,讓學習的湧泉源源不絕吧! https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 💁🏻♀️李老師的Facebook與Instagram: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 💁🏻小幫手Aaron的Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…
Imagine discovering a lost city while you are pulling an all-nighter to finish your history paper. That’s what happened to an archeology student studying in Tulane University in Louisiana. Luke Auld-Thomas, a doctoral student at Tulane spotted the ancient Mayan site in the scans collected by NASA using lidar, a technology that uses airborne lasers to penetrate dense vegetation. The ruins were unknown to archaeologists, but some farmers living in that region of Mexico were aware of the site‘s existence. Luke and his colleagues named the lost city Valeriana, after a nearby lagoon. They estimated the city may have had a population of as many as 50,000 people at its peak between AD 750-850. Researchers expect to discover more ancient Mayan cities in the future. The findings will make the collapse of Mayan civilization even more mysterious: The more people there were, the more difficult it is to explain the massive depopulation later on. 🤨隨著古瑪雅遺址被發現得越多,能解釋文明崩解的真相就越來越遠? pull an all-nighter 熬夜做作業 lidar 光學雷達掃描儀 doctoral student 博士班學生 scan 掃描 airborne 空氣傳播的 penetrate 滲透 dense vegetation 茂密的植被 ☕️ 想以行動支持李老師繼續說英文故事,來請老師喝杯咖啡吧! https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 💁🏻♀️李老師的Facebook與Instagram: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 💁🏻小幫手Aaron的Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…
When we think of elite mountaineers, the people that come to mind tend to be Caucasian white men. However without Nepal‘s ethnic Sherpas‘ assistance, their record-breaking achievements would not be possible. Sadly, Sherpas‘ contributions to this sport remain largely unseen and unrecognized . Naturally they also rarely receive the lucrative endorsement that foreign mountaineers are able to garner. One young Sherpas has made up his mind to change the narrative and status quo. In October this year Nima Rinji became the world’s youngest person to scale the fourteen highest peaks on the planet. All fourteen are 8000 meters above sea level. He’s only 18. He beats the previous record holder by a mile. The holder before is also a Sherpa, who didn’t summit all fourteen peaks until he was almost 30. Nima comes from a family of mountaineers. In fact, his family runs one of the largest mountaineering expedition companies in Nepal. His father became the youngest person to summit Mt Everest without using any oxygen support. His uncles were the first pair of brothers to scale all fourteen highest peaks. Despite all the prestige, many Sherpas want their offspring to shun the career of mountaineering because Sherpas are often viewed as guides rather than athletes. They need to fix ropes, carry food and supplies, and pave the way for their foreign clients to fulfill their dreams and break their records. Even though they shoulder all the responsibilities and face higher risks of mortality, their foreign clients receive more recognition and financial endorsement. Outdoor wear and gear companies like North Face and Patagonia don’t pay a Sherpas to endorse their products. Nima Rinji wants to change that by positioning himself as an athlete rather than a guide. He wants to show his community that mountaineering can be a prestigious job, instead of just a pathway out of poverty. 重點單字 elite:精英的 mountaineer:登山家 Caucasian:白種人 ethnic:民族的 Nepal:尼泊爾 Sherpa:雪巴人 assistance:協助 contribution:貢獻 unseen:看不見的 lucrative: 利潤高的 endorsement:贊助費 garner:取得 narrative:敘述 status quo:現況 scale:爬上 beat someone by a mile:遠遠超過 summit: 攀登 oxygen:氧氣 prestige:名望 shun:避開 pave the way for someone:替某人開路 endorse:代言 gear:設備 position oneself as:把自己定位成 poverty:貧困 Podcast中所提及的IG: https://www.instagram.com/p/DBJ5XbQNYq3/?igsh=bm9iMGZnc2UwMTF3 ☕️ 想以行動支持李老師繼續說英文故事,來請老師喝杯咖啡吧! https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 💁🏻♀️李老師的Facebook與Instagram: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 💁🏻小幫手Aaron的Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…
Recently a group of archeologists discovered a painting on a wall of a cave on an island of Indonesia. The painting depicts a boar, a wild pig, and three human shape figures. Because of its age, it’s hard to see clearly, but it looks like the humans are hunting the pig. Scientists believe the painting might be more than 51000 years old. They are thrilled about the finding because the drawing appears to be telling a story. So even in prehistoric times, our ancestors had this inborn desire to tell stories and think in creative ways. The discovery might also change our idea toward evolution and how humans have changed over thousands of years ago. archeologist考古學家 depict 描繪 boar 野豬 thrilled 感到興奮 inborn desire 出自內心的渴望 evolution 演化 ☕️ 想以行動支持李老師繼續說英文故事,來請老師喝杯咖啡吧! https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 💁🏻♀️李老師的Facebook與Instagram: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 💁🏻小幫手Aaron的Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…
What’s the worst nightmare that parents might have when taking their kids to a museum? Off the top of my head, it will be accidentally damaging a piece of priceless artwork or artifact 有歷史價值的手工藝品 and that’s exactly what happened to a family in Israel. Anna Geller and her husband took their three kids on a museum trip one day in early September. Their four-year-old son, Ariel, was looking at a 3500-year-old jar from the Bronze Age and when Anna looked away for a second, she immediately heard a loud boom sound. Then she saw Ariel standing next to a pile of broken jar pieces, looking absolutely fear-stricken 受挫的,因為恐懼而受挫 The jar was the one of the only containers of its size from that period that was discovered intact. It may date back to 2200 BC. Ariel’s dad said that Ariel was exceptionally curious and the moment he heard the crashing sound, he was praying really hard that it wasn’t Ariel. Unfortunately his prayer wasn’t answered. Upon discovering that their son had damaged the artifact, Anna and Alex first tried to calm Ariel down and then approached the security guard to own up to 面對their mistake. After checking the surveillance camera監視器and making sure it was not an act of vandalism, the museum decided to turn this disaster into a teachable moment and invite the family back again. This time, they joined an organized tour and learned about the restoration process behind the artifacts. The restoration 修復 expert behind putting the jar back said that artifacts should still remain accessible to the public even though accidents may happen. He said, “I like that people touch. Don’t break, but to touch things, it’s important.” off the top of my head 不假思索地 artifact 有歷史價值的手工藝品 Bronze Age 青銅時代 fear-stricken 受挫的、因為恐懼而凍結 intact 完整無缺的 to own up to 面對 surveillance camera 監視器 vandalism 蓄意破壞 teachable moment 可教化的契機 restoration 修復 accessible 可親近的 ☕️ 想以行動支持李老師繼續說英文故事,來請老師喝杯咖啡吧! https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 💁🏻♀️李老師的Facebook與Instagram: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 💁🏻小幫手Aaron的Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…
Faced with aging and declining population, the Chinese government is doing everything they can to coax women into motherhood. Mr. Xi, the leader of China, has repeatedly said that promoting childbirth is a national priority which ensures that women “always walk with the party”. According to a China correspondent working for the New York Times, the measures taken by the government have been quite invasive, including sending officials going door-to-door to ask women about their plans, and sometimes even the date of their last menstrual cycle. We all know that this is not the first time for the communist party to impose its will on women’s reproductive rights. However, the in-your-face approach taken by the ruling party might have backfired this time. Most women believe that whether to have kids is a private decision. And nagging at women is just not going to cut it now. coax 哄小孩去做事 correspondent 特派員 measure 措施 invasive 有侵略性的 menstrual cycle 經期 impose 強加於 reproductive rights 生育權 in-your-face approach 咄咄逼人的做法 backfire 反效果、逆火 nag at 對⋯嘮叨 ☕️ 想以行動支持李老師繼續說英文故事,來請老師喝杯咖啡吧! https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 💁🏻♀️李老師的Facebook與Instagram: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 💁🏻小幫手Aaron的Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…
As autumn is in full swing, flu, COVID season comes on the heels of it. The CDC of the US says while there’s evidence showing rampant COVID cases, the current variant, an offshoot of omicron, is not causing an increase in serious illnesses and deaths. One more welcome news on the vaccine front is that a group of scientists in University of Texas may have discovered the antibody that will rein in every known form of coronavirus variants. They are now working to mass manufacture the new vaccine. With this breakthrough, more lives will be spared against future spikes of the virus. as autumn is in full swing 隨著秋季來臨 comes on the heels of it 緊跟在後 CDC: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 疾病控制署 rampant 猖獗 offshoot 分枝、旁系 antibody 抗體 to rein in 控制 to mass manufacture 大量生產 breakthrough 突破 more lives will be spared against future spikes of the virus 更多生命將能在病毒高峰時期被拯救 想以行動支持李老師繼續說英文故事,來請老師喝杯咖啡吧!☕️ https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 💁🏻♀️李老師的Facebook與Instagram: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 💁🏻小幫手Aaron的Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…
Imagine being the first human to see things that others in the world have never seen and trying to convince others around him that the invisible organisms are real. That person is Anthony van Leeuwenhoek. Leeuwenhoek was born in 1632 in the city of Delft, Netherlands. By day, he made a living by selling clothes. By night, he made lenses used in microscopes and telescopes, which were invented by fellow Dutch during his times. Unlike others in this field, Leeuwenhoek never went to university, was not a trained scientist. Despite the lack of training, he taught himself to make lenses with a skill that no one else could match. His lenses could magnify objects up to 270 times. In his day, his instruments were unrivaled. But Leeuwenhoek was not just a good microscope maker, he was also an outstanding microscopist. Even though he was an amateur, he conducted his experiments with scientific methods. He was incredibly curious about everything around him. One day, his curiosity took him to explore one drop of lake water. What he saw took him by surprise. That one drop of water was teeming with life. He became the first person to see microorganisms. From then on, almost every thing he saw, he became the first human to see it. By the time he died at the age of 90, he, an amateur, had become one of the Royal Society’s most famous members. Due to his suspicious attitude, he never shared or taught his lens-making technique to anyone. In one letter, he complained that students were more interested in money or reputation than making discoveries. His bias almost destroyed his legacy because when others looked through their inferior microscopes, they saw nothing, so the interest in microbiology declined. It would be a century and a half later until new discoveries were again made in the field of microbes. 重點單字 convince:説服 invisible:看不見的 organism:生物 lense:鏡片 microscope:顯微鏡 telescope:望遠鏡 Dutch:荷蘭人 lack:缺乏 match:匹配 magnify:放大 object:物品 time:倍數 instrument: 工具 unrivaled:無人可比的 outstanding:傑出的 microscopist:顯微鏡家 amateur:業餘者 conduct:進行 incredibly:非常地 curiosity:好奇心 teem with:充滿 suspicious:多疑的 reputation:名聲 legacy:遺產 bias:偏見 inferior:劣等的 想以行動支持李老師繼續說英文故事,來請老師喝杯咖啡吧!☕️ https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/bee087cb-a2a6-46f4-8a90-fe4eeb496e9a 💁🏻♀️李老師的Facebook與Instagram: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/readingwithlee/?locale=zh_TW Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weizhenlee.weizhenlee/ 💁🏻小幫手Aaron的Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yan_jian_yi/ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn…
