Today, on Something You Should Know, every morning, you're probably pandiculating, and so is your dog. I'll tell you why.

Then, something's going on between young men and women, and it's not good.

Daniel Cox (0:45)

Increasingly, young men and women do not trust each other. They're not spending time together to build that understanding and trust, and it is impacting every aspect of their lives, and you see this play out online and offline.

Also, if the drinking water in your house tastes funny, there might be an easy way to fix that. And why the magic fades from most relationships and how to get it back.

Anna Elton (1:11)

The biggest part is people think that once you stop the chase, once you know the partner, that's that there's nothing else to find out, and they stop being curious. And at that point, I hear a lot of my clients say, well, my coworkers know me better than my partner.

All this today on Something You Should Know.

There's probably no better endorsement for a company than this. I keep buying their stuff. That's exactly what's happening with me and Quince. It started with their clothes. I've bought sweaters, polos, pants, jeans, shoes, a belt. And Quince has become one of the first places I look when I need something new to wear. And my wife and son buy from Quince too, all the time. What keeps bringing us back is the quality and the price. Quince uses premium materials like 100% Mongolian cashmere, organic cotton, merino wool. Their cashmere sweaters start at just $60.

And with colder weather coming, they have down jackets and classic wool outerwear as well.

Quince prices everything 50% to 80% less than similar brands by working directly with ethical factories and cutting out the middlemen. And it's not just clothes. They have bedding, bath, kitchen essentials, and furniture. We even have Quince pillows. So this isn't one of those endorsements where I try something once because they sent it to me. We shop at Quince and I absolutely recommend you try it. Find your next fall favorites at Quince. Download the Quince app for app-exclusive offers or go to quince.com. Get free shipping on your order and 365-day returns. Now available in Canada and the UK, too. And when Quince asks where you heard about them, please let them know it was Something You Should Know. It's the best way to support our show.

Today, Something You Should Know with Mike Carruthers.

Mike Carruthers (3:21)

You know, it doesn't happen often that when I do an interview here, I am floored or stunned by what I hear.

I prepare enough for each interview that I have a pretty good idea what a guest is going to talk about.

But the first interview in this episode, which I've already recorded, I mean, I was shocked. It involves the young adults in our society, the Gen Zers as they are known, and what you're about to learn about them as a group, I think will shock you as it did me. That's coming up in just a moment. But first up, you know that almost irresistible thing you do after you wake up in the morning, your arms stretch out, your back arches, and you usually accompany it by a big yawn. Well, that movement, that action has a name. It's called pandiculation. And it's not just a habit, it's an involuntary reflex built into humans and many other mammals that tends to happen after you've been inactive for a while. The combination of contracting and then releasing muscles may help reduce stiffness and prepare your body to start moving again. It's why dogs and cats do essentially the same thing after a nap.

So, tomorrow morning, when you stretch, yawn and make, you know, whatever weird noise you make when you do it, you aren't just waking up, you're pandiculating. And now you have a much more impressive name for it. And that is something you should know.
