On this Make a Difference Minute, Dr. Gennifer Horton Moon joins me at the inaugural Alabama Nurse Honor Guard State Conference in Cullman to talk about preserving the stories and traditions of nurses for future generations. For families who still have a loved one's nursing cap, pin, lamp or other piece of their nursing history, Dr. Moon has a message: “Write it down.” She explains that preserving the item is important, but preserving the story behind it matters just as much. Record the story. Write down what you know. Pass it along to someone who will value it and understand why it mattered. Dr. Moon also shares how one family entrusted her Nurse Honor Guard chapter with a nurse's original cape, allowing another piece of nursing history to continue telling its story.

Trees & Lines is adding something new to the mix. Alongside guest interviews, hosts Tej Singh, Phil Charlton, and Brian Sprinkle are starting a running series where they talk through what's actually happening in the industry. This week: the wildfire smoke that turned Toronto's sky pink, why Texas just mandated wildfire mitigation plans for every utility in the state, the worker safety questions that get overlooked during wildfire response, and the case for treating vegetation management like a capital asset instead of an operating expense. They also break down the real difference between reliability and resiliency, and why that distinction is shaping utility investment decisions across the country.

Smoke does not just slow people down, it changes what they believe is even possible. That simple idea is why we get so excited about pyFDS-Evac, an open source workflow that connects Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) results directly to modern evacuation modeling with JuPedSim. When the fire environment can remove an exit from view, reduce walking speed through extinction and soot exposure, or even incapacitate an agent, you stop “post-processing evacuation” and start modeling decisions that respond to conditions.We sit down with Mohcine Chraibi from Forschungszentrum Jülich to unpack how their team builds pedestrian dynamics software that researchers can actually extend. We talk candidly about why legacy tools like FDS-Evac faded, why commercial evacuation software can feel like a black box when you need to publish and validate new ideas, and what it takes to keep an academic codebase alive. Mohcine walks us through the modular pipeline: run FDS as normal, read outputs through FDS Reader, compute sight lines and smoke effects with FDS VisMap, and drive agents with JuPedSim while pyFDS-Evac applies fire-driven behavior changes.Then we go deeper into routing and wayfinding. You will hear how graphs and A-star pathfinding evolve toward flow-field methods, why “familiarity” and cognitive maps matter when occupants do not know the building, and what JuPedSim 2.0 aims to deliver next, including stairs, 2.5D to 3D buildings, and switching movement models by location.If you care about fire safety engineering, evacuation simulation, pedestrian dynamics, or visibility in smoke, subscribe, share this with a colleague, and leave a review so more researchers and practitioners can find the tools and the ideas. What would you test first with an open FDS to evacuation pipeline?Links to the good stuff:Jupedsim the engine: https://www.jupedsim.org/its webapp: https://app.jupedsim.org/ Youtube-playlist for jupedsim: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekbvCdy1P3w&list=PLYiH62IDwy5fdFJRiGky0Hdq88xKwjayL pyFDS-Evac: https://pedestriandynamics.org/pyFDS-Evac/ pyFDS-evac presentation from the visbility seminar https://pedestriandynamics.org/pyFDS-Evac/talks/visibility-seminar-2026/#/1Cover image comes from the 1st video on the JuPedSim playlist - the Galton Board Walked by Pedestrians in JuPedSim, by Pedestrian and Fire Dynamics Channel on youtube.----The Fire Science Show is produced by the Fire Science Media in collaboration with OFR Consultants.

I finally sit down with one of my all-time favorite rappers, Too $hort. We talk about him learning the record business before he was old enough to drink, selling homemade tapes in Oakland, turning $15K into $60K in a week, why signing with a major label was worth it even if he could've made more money independently, hanging with Tupac before he was famous, the stories behind his Too $hort persona, and how “Blow the Whistle” gave an already legendary career another life. We also get into E-40, Snoop, Ice Cube, Mount Westmore, sex, pimping, staying relevant for 40 years, and his new album Sir Too $hort, Vol. 2 (Drink and Smoke).

Bahlil Lahadalia tampaknya memahami bahwa dalam politik, kebenaran pun bisa menjadi tabir asap ketika ditempatkan pada momentum yang tepat. Klaim untuk “pulang ke Papua” dan tidak membidik Pilpres 2029 mungkin memang tulus, tetapi dalam kalkulus kekuasaan, sebuah janji hari ini belum tentu memiliki bentuk yang sama ketika konstelasi berubah. Lantas, apakah Bahlil sedang menurunkan ambisi—atau justru menyembunyikannya di balik Smoke & Mirrors?

Today on Black Dragon Biker TV:A Black woman on a motorcycle and a white man in a big truck turn a red light into a lecture. He says she was riding too slow and that he never went that slow when he rode. Was that advice — or should he have stayed in his lane? We talk respect on two wheels vs. a cage driver who thinks the throttle is a personality.What did Laurence Fishburne actually ride as Smoke, “King of Cali,” in Biker Boyz (2003)? A customized 1999 Suzuki Hayabusa GSX1300R — stretched swingarm, slammed, silver/gold-magenta paint. Fastest production bike on earth when it dropped. Fishburne is a real rider (Guggenheim Motorcycle Club). Derek Luke's Kid was on a GSX-R750. Dogg: ZX-12R. The movie put Black sportbike culture on a studio screen. It also did $23.5 million on a $24 million budget and sits at 22% on Rotten Tomatoes. That's one reason there was never a Biker Boyz II. Hollywood doesn't greenlight sequels to “almost broke even” street-racing movies. The culture didn't need DreamWorks to keep riding.Thank you to the generous subscriber who sent Tahmehrah's cat tree.

Before glass, mirrors were bronze, dim, and warped, showing you less than the truth. Now the mirror in your pocket (Phones!) lies the other direction, showing you who you wish you were, and it's getting better at it every year. This week we open Smoke and Mirrors with a walk through Ephesians 2, asking where an honest, kind answer to the question, "who am I", actually comes from.
Smoke and mirrors this week in Indonesia: Palangkaraya's air-quality index (AQI) routinely tops 1,000; a technocratic new finance minister suddenly takes over; Nadiem must appeal again; a ferry disaster kills over 130; and elites start maneuvering for an election. Also: in Malaysia, Najib Razaq wins house arrest.Please visit our YouTube channel as well: https://youtube.com/@reformasidispatchIt takes a lot of money to run a podcast.

Digital Kitchen's Mason Nicoll and Andrew "AJ" Julien talk with Mike about designing the Emmy-nominated title sequences for Spider-Noir and Smoke.

New week. New episode. New reason to reconsider having a baby in a cabin during a blizzard. This week on Fright Flick FMK, we're watching GOODY GOODY — a supernatural pregnancy horror movie where a home birth starts going wrong while everybody is trapped inside an isolated cabin. No easy trip to the hospital. A blizzard raging outside. Something very strange happening inside. Sounds healthy. We're getting elevated, pouring a drink, pressing play, and finding out if Goody Goody delivers real nightmare fuel or if this baby needs to go straight back where it came from. Then we put it through The Only Rating System That Matters:
What happens when Superman decides saving the world isn't enough and tries to fix it instead? Case and Jmike are joined by Austin Funk to revisit Stormwatch: Change or Die, Warren Ellis's three-part story about the High, a blatant Superman analogue with a plan to eliminate scarcity, tear down old systems, and build a better world. They dig into the story's big ideas, its messy execution, and the tragedy of watching genuinely heroic people wind up on opposite sides of a fight over who gets to decide what "better" looks like.

What kind of people would dance in the streets after the 9/11 terrorist attack that killed upwards of 3,000 people? The same ones who have now become elevated martyrs by large swaths of the Global Left: the Palestinians.Katie Couric, like most mainstream journalists back then, had no problem exposing such monstrous behavior by those fed a steady diet of dehumanization of the American people. Would she do it today? No. Would any of them do it today? No.Who would celebrate the live execution of a prominent activist on the Right, so much so that they'd lose their jobs for exposing what sociopaths they really are? Hundreds, if not thousands, on the Left did just that. Radicalized or mainstream, it didn't matter. They have become what the Palestinians were back then: so propagandized and radicalized, they've lost their humanity.You can see it now in those TikTok videos that have turned “When it Happens” into a viral trend. That's what ten years of dehumanizing can do to otherwise decent people. They say they're decent, but TikTok proves otherwise.They have cast themselves as morally superior to the other half of the country and would point to how some on the Right mocked George Floyd after his death in 2020. But the difference is that many prominent Republicans like Ted Cruz instantly condemned it. No Democrat has condemned the mockery and the celebration of Charlie's death. Oh sure, they all said what they had to say: the standard “violence has no place in our politics.” They said it, but did they mean it? How could they if they've never condemned the rising cult-like fantasies of Trump's death and the celebration of Charlie's execution?If anything, the Democrats were more worried Charlie's influence would grow, so they sent out their One True King, Barack Obama, to put Charlie's legacy in context.Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez did the same thing, acting as though what Charlie said - the cherry-picked, out-of-context quotes fed to them- was worse than their own side mocking and celebrating his murder. His words were worse than his death.But that is who they are now. Speech is violence. Speech is hate. Speech must be tightly monitored and controlled. Is assassinating Charlie Kirk or trying to assassinate Donald Trump any different from the Jihadists who mass-murdered journalists at Charlie Hebdo in Paris for blasphemy against Mohammad? Hasan Piker, aka the “Twitch streamer in California,” like Dean Withers, condemned those who made jokes of Charlie's death. At least at first. Once Piker sensed the vacuum left in Charlie's absence, he turned his death into a viral meme just a month or so later. Credit to Axios' Alex Thompson for pressing him to explain it.Piker's song became a TikTok dance meme and a permission structure for many to showcase themselves as dead-eyed zombies dancing to the sound of the bullet hitting his neck a year later for the “Kirkaversary.”Utopias only have two paths forward. They either collapse or they become more authoritarian. The Left still hasn't confronted the radical elements on their side, not just Hasan Piker, but the many shooters who have risen up to become martyrs and heroes.They mock, they meme, but underneath it all, as with Al-Qaeda or other radical Islamic groups, what motivates them is pure hatred. Words are violence. Words are hatred, and “some hate can't be negotiated out.” They can laugh it off all they want, but they've left a paper trail.Turning Point put up a Charlie Kirk statue, and it was immediately vandalized.If they can meme a live execution and feel nothing, then why wouldn't they see America as bad or worse than Al-Qaeda? The oppressor/oppressed indoctrination factory that is public schools and universities has raised them in the good/evil binary. Video games, IP, and superhero movies all adopted that binary, and after Columbine and 9/11, parents like me shut our kids indoors to keep them safe, and this good/evil binary would one day become white people evil, brown people good, and Al-Qaeda, like the Palestinians, can't be seen as the villains. Abdul El-Sayed and Zohran Mamdani have arisen as cult leaders almost because there is nothing the Left will hold them accountable for, lest they be called racists. No one will look at El-Sayed's erased history, the videos or the tweets. What did he think? What does he still think? No one will know because no one would dare ask.The Democrats have never been held accountable for the sharp rise of radicalized violence and death fantasies that have gone mainstream. They're rewarded for it with likes and reposts. They've never confronted it. They've never solved it, and the legacy media has supported them every step of the way, all the while demonizing MAGA as the more extreme side. Piker was their masculine, patriarchal, non-white Joe Rogan. No more Mr. Nice Guy! Let's get those Gen-Z and male voters. That was the plan anyway. Now, maybe it's becoming a mess, a liability. Then again, maybe not. Maybe this is just who they are now. How We Got HereI know how we got here because I grew up on the Left. I was one of these people. I know what it felt like that day the towers were hit. I know why we pivoted so quickly to focus on the greater evil that was George W. Bush and Dick Cheney and those two wars that did what the war on Gaza has now done: flip the script, so America is the bad guy.I know what happened in our schools. I know how women like me grew in power in America and changed our society amid the “Great Feminization.” I know what happened to my daughter's generation, why so many white kids felt such deep shame they were willing to do anything to escape their own skin, even destroying their own bodies at the hands of a fundamentalist cult.I know what it was like when Obama won and how we built our utopia - a better America shaped by more women and what it was like when our first female president was denied the win but just barely, putting in power a guy who would ultimately redeem Bush and Cheney and be sold as the World's Greatest Evil to whole generations for the past ten years.We were just kidding with Bush and Cheney. Trump is the really, really bad guy. And everyone went along with it. Maybe I didn't think it would go so far as young men picking up weapons to murder as part of the “resistance.” Maybe I didn't think, in the wake of Charlie's death, a guy like Hasan Piker would become such an influential voice and do exactly the opposite of what Charlie did by teaching young people to hate America.But that's what happens when a utopia becomes a totalitarian dystopia, closer to fascism than this country has ever gotten and not that far from where Al-Qaeda was on the eve of 9/11 - so full of hate and revenge fantasies that they would take advantage of the same people who welcomed them into their country and treated them with kindness. I certainly would not have thought any of them, let alone most of them, would see the war in Gaza as “genocide” and then apply that to all of America and its history, redeeming the monsters who attacked us on 9/11. We're the bad guys, they insist. We're the terrorists.But here we are, America. We are about to put these people who hate this country, its history, and many of its citizens, in power. We're about to sell out the American dream because of high gas prices.It's not lost on me that Democrats have been saying the same thing to their voters. I was one of them. I see the mirror image of this moment: when gas prices and inflation were too high under Biden, Democrats begged Americans to vote for Kamala to save the country. I know they see it that way too.But I've been on both sides. I know each side's strengths and weaknesses. And that's why I know the side that either celebrated the murder of Charlie Kirk or said nothing about those who did is the side that is dangerous not just for America but for humanity.President SelectMy daughter was just three when the towers were hit. It was three hours early in California. My French boyfriend at the time had a habit of waking up with CNN, and there it was. Smoke billowing out of one of the towers at the World Trade Center. “Turn on the news,” I told my friend that day. It took us all a while to figure out who did it and why, and the first thing that happened was everyone felt fear that Muslims would be attacked. Even George W. Bush felt it necessary to say Islam is peace. And it's true, not all Muslims- like it's true, not all people on the Left but you have to condemn the radicalized, or else they consume the whole.We were still haunted by the Japanese Internment camps after the Pearl Harbor attack, which took us to World War II. We didn't want to be that America, not us progressive liberals. We were the good guys. The 2000 election left us bitter and unable to accept that Bush was legitimately elected. And that mattered more to us than the tragedy on 9/11. It had to, because Bush was the president, so everything had to go not just wrong but catastrophically wrong - the wars, Wall Street, Katrina. We were making our own reality even back then because we could. In 2004, Michael Moore released Fahrenheit 911, which began with the premise that the 2000 election had been stolen. The villain of Fahrenheit 9/11 was the Commander in Chief, and much was made of this moment, when he heard of the attacks and people like me nodded furiously along. We knew who the bad guys were, and they weren't Al-Qaeda.And in 2003, just two years after 9/11, when Michael Moore accepted the Oscar for Bowling for Columbine, he was booed, with a part of the Left with their perspective still intact. Needless to say, that wouldn't happen now. We were beginning a new origin story, one where the worst people in the world were put in power by the Supreme Court and Big Oil. We weren't quite at the place where we would divide and measure goodness by skin color or gender, but we weren't far off. We just needed a leader to believe in.And as our hero rose in the form of a “skinny kid with a funny name,” we began to find marginalized groups as our protected, sacred symbols because of our love and devotion to Barack Obama.Just as our first black President became our savior, our villain was rising too. It was Sarah Palin and her demonization of Radical Islamic Terror. That, we knew, made her a “racist” and a villain.In 2012, she was depicted as a paranoid idiot whose bigotry clouded her judgment in Game Change.The Tea Party had already been cast as a “white power” movement to thwart its growth, even if by 2016 it would elect a president with the help of Charlie Kirk.By 2012, we were a bitterly divided country with the Left deciding its enemies were not the brown people in the Middle East but rather the homegrown racists in our own country. We began to slowly separate ourselves from them. Whatever unity we felt after 9/11 vanished. That same year, Kathryn Bigelow's Zero Dark Thirty was released about the killing of Bin Laden. But the movie had no heroes. The final scene is brutal and haunting, full of children screaming and women crying. The main character, whose life had been devoted to hunting Bin Laden, is left shaken and alone with the thought lingering in the air: what was it all for? Hardly the rousing moment of heroism we would expect when America won. Game Change and Zero Dark Thirty were pure propaganda for the Democrats and the beginning of how we stopped seeing America as the hero after 9/11.Not that America anymoreAfter 9/11, some questioned whether the Oscars would be held at all. Tom Cruise took to the stage and spoke to all of America, not just the blue half. He wanted to bring this country together, and that, he said, is what movies are for. Remember that Hollywood? Remember that America?After Charlie Kirk's live execution, the cowards in Hollywood didn't even have the courage to say his name at the Oscars or the Emmys, and still don't. That shows you how divided we are, how scared they are, how they see their enemies as half the country, and how their deaths do not matter. I think what hurts the most, watching so many of the 9/11 videos as I've been doing, is seeing and remembering when it was like back then, when we were one America, how everyone came through, how we held together, how so many ordinary people became heroes to help those who were trapped, many of them giving their lives for others.Mothers lost sons and daughters. Wives lost husbands. 40% of those who were killed are still unaccounted for. It doesn't seem like we've ever really come to terms with the tragedy of that day because, in its aftermath, the keepers of culture could not make America the hero. But America was, and remains, the hero fighting the good fight. It's the better fight, for a better world, even if I didn't realize it until 25 years later. Now I see it. Now I understand because now I can see what dehumanization and radicalization can do. Here is a clip from Triggernometry and guest Richard Miniter (watch the whole thing, it's great). I finally watched The Great Boatlift - the largest sea rescue in history - where so many New Yorkers volunteered their boats to rescue 500,000 people off the Island of Manhattan. In these videos, I see the America I remember, the one I fled 30 years ago to spend the rest of my life online. I miss that America, the one that believed in our collective goodness, not the one where one side took all of the power and abused that power by seeing the other half of the country as their enemy.And worse, became radicalized to the point of violence, to the point of mocking the assassinated and believing they have no other choice but to wish for the death of their president, in video after video after video. 9/10 and 9/11 will come back to us every year to remind us of what is great about this country and what is trying to destroy this country. Every year, we will be forced to stare evil in the face and fight for the forces of good standing in its way. Godspeed, America. Godspeed.. This is a public episode.

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Tudor Alexander, author of the books The Last Patient and In Darkness and Light. Alex Duvan, who publishes under the pen name Tudor Alexander, was born in Bucharest, Romania in 1950 and moved to the United States in 1977. He holds a Master's degree from the Polytechnic Institute of Bucharest and an MBA from the University of Connecticut. Alex lives in Maryland with his wife, Viorica, and has a son, a daughter, and three grandchildren. Alex started writing in high school, and enjoyed an early success, publishing many short stories in established literary magazines. Although writing was his passion, he studied engineering and management to support his family. After the 1989 Romanian revolution, he published several novels and short story collections in Romania, including The Runners, Smoke, Planet New York, One Morning and One Afternoon, and The Visitor. Alex writes in both Romanian and English. He tells the story of immigrants struggling to adapt to a new country and a different culture, and finding the courage to overcome the fear of the unknown. They are people who, like the author, took a leap of faith to find political and intellectual freedom, despite the heartbreak of leaving friends and family behind. Was it worth it? He is a member of the Maryland Writers Association and serves on the board of directors for the Little Patuxent Review, a biannual Maryland literary publication. In my book review, I stated The Last Patient is a historical fiction by Tudor Alexander. This book captures what it was like to live in communist Romania during the 50 years after the end of World War II. The two main characters are Kostea and Clara, both doctors and both trapped in a world not of their choosing. Kostea joins the communist party in hopes of advancing his career. Clara works in a lab so she has 9 to 5 hours and can be available to raise her son. Both struggle to figure out who they are in a world full of shared apartments, food shortages, and government corruption. Although they love one another fiercely, they also make mistakes - some of them costly. They both also love their country and are fiercely Romanian, despite the current regime. I love how we see their ordinary lives and decisions against the backdrop of communism. We see joy and sadness and pride and fear. People find a way to live despite their circumstances. I loved this book and think you will too. In Darkness and Light is a historical fiction by Tudor Alexander. This book is the second book from the author about living in Romania during and following WWII. Tina is a young Jewish girl who determines communism, rather than Zionism, is the answer that makes the most sense in an antisemitic world. When she is forced to the village of Transnistria and suffers with her Jewish friends and family, her communist convictions solidify. But when Romania becomes communist, Tina meets Iulian and begins to see that the ideals of communism aren't matching the actualities. I love this book because it shows a young girl's progression along with Romania's progression. It is also a beautiful, but tragic, love story. And a story of resilience and grit and reinvention. I absolutely loved this book!

Smoke is in the air across sports this week, and Fearless is covering all of it. Josh Allen torched Detroit 41-31 in the Bills' $2.1 billion Highmark Stadium debut, and hot takes immediately turned a short-rest road loss into a referendum on Dan Campbell versus Ben Johnson. We break down why that conversation is football malpractice, what Campbell's locker room still proves, and why Detroit's real problems are penalties, a battered secondary, and transition under Drew Petzing—not a pink slip in Week 2. Then the board widens. Pat McAfee got caught putting out a lit item on his ESPN show and answered with sage jokes while Bristol negotiates tens of millions. Lane Kiffin returns to Oxford with LSU under extra security and venom thick enough that Stephen A. Smith is staying home. From Allen's darts to Campbell's blame to McAfee's firestorm to Kiffin's reckoning, we got all the smoke. ➢ Show Outline 00:00 - Dan Campbell Takes Heat After Lions Loss 15:47 - Josh Allen MVP Statement vs Detroit 30:28 - Pat McAfee ESPN Controversy 47:05 - Stephen A Smith Afraid of Oxford 56:14 - Ole Miss vs LSU and Kiffin Return ➢ Follow Our GUESTS https://www.youtube.com/@skap_attack https://x.com/SteveKim323 ➢ Subscribe to Jason's other channel https://www.youtube.com/JasonWhitlock?sub_confirmation=1 https://www.youtube.com/@JasonWhitlockHarmony?sub_confirmation=1 https://www.youtube.com/@JasonWhitlockBYOG?sub_confirmation=1 https://www.youtube.com/@JasonWhitlockClips?sub_confirmation=1 ➢ Connect with Jason on Social Media: https://x.com/JasonWhitlock https://www.instagram.com/realjasonwhitlock/ https://www.facebook.com/jasonwhitlock ➢ Send Jason an Email FearlessBlazeShow@gmail.com ➢ Support The Blaze Visit https://TheBlaze.com.

Why do we smoke honey bees—and how much smoke do they really need? In this installment of his Bee Science mini-series on Beekeeping Today, Dr. Dewey Caron sends an audio postcard from Portland, Oregon, during a wildfire smoke advisory. He uses the smoky skies as a starting point for a discussion of the beekeeper's smoker, the behavior of honey bees, and the challenges wildfire brings to the bee yard. Dewey's central message about smoker use is simple: use it sparingly. He walks through lighting a smoker, choosing fuel that produces cool, white smoke, keeping it working throughout an inspection, and directing smoke where it helps move bees away from fingers and hive equipment. He also describes ways to reduce unnecessary disturbance as frames are removed and the colony is closed. The conversation then turns to what smoke actually does. Dewey explains why he describes smoke as changing bee behavior rather than simply calming bees. He discusses alarm odor, bees retreating from smoke, and honey-stomach filling, while identifying the proposed wildfire escape response as a theory. Liquid smoke, water, sugar water, and inspections without a smoker each get a look, along with their limitations. Wildfire smoke raises a different set of questions. Dewey reflects on Oregon's 2020 fires, threats to apiaries, and the difficulties of caring for surviving colonies. He discusses native bee nesting habitat, changes in post-fire forage, and how smoky skies can interfere with the polarized-light patterns honey bees use to navigate. He also considers research on ash exposure and emphasizes how much remains unknown about its effects on flower visitors. To close, Dewey offers ten points covering smoker safety, inspection decisions, evacuation preparedness, defensible space, supplemental feeding, clean water, documentation, and habitat recovery. Throughout, the emphasis is on thoughtful smoker use and avoiding additional stress on colonies during smoke events. Notes and references: Reynolds, Kamon.

Nothing prepares you for another morning of daily comedy quite like sleeping through THREE alarms, which is exactly how Lern nearly started her day.That kicks off a very serious investigation into how everybody wakes up. Lern prefers a gradual approach, with increasingly aggressive alarms and songs like “Spooky.” Rizz and Rafe apparently prefer waking up like a nuclear submarine has just discovered an incoming torpedo. Moon wants something gentle enough that his heart doesn't immediately file for workers' comp.Which alarm actually works? Something soothing? “Eye of the Tiger”? “Smells Like Teen Spirit”? A drill sergeant screaming at you while beating trash cans together?Anything is better than accidentally incorporating your alarm into your dream and waking up ten minutes after you were supposed to be a functioning adult.But why bother waking up at all? Apparently AI might kill us by 2030.Rizz brings in warnings attributed to people who have worked inside the AI industry about self-improving artificial intelligence, the difficulty of controlling increasingly capable systems and the possibility that humanity could become collateral damage without AI ever needing to become “evil.” Think less Terminator intentionally hunting Sarah Connor and more humans becoming the anthill somebody paved over while building a highway.That launches Rizz, Lern, Moon and Rafe into a surprisingly deep debate about artificial intelligence, regulation, infrastructure, jobs, humanoid robots, technological progress and whether we should be optimistic about what comes next or start practicing our best Matrix battery impressions.Naturally, this leads directly into death.Because this is daily comedy, and apparently we have transitions now.If somebody handed you an envelope containing the exact date you'll die, would you open it? What about how you die? Would you want to know who attends your funeral? The biggest opportunity you unknowingly missed? Or who secretly has a crush on you?Everyone has a different answer until the crew lands on the most terrifying hypothetical imaginable: learning that you will eventually die by meatball.Do you stop eating meatballs forever? Does avoiding them even matter if fate has already decided? Does a waiter eventually drop a tray and launch your destiny directly into your mouth? Suddenly Rizz is spending the rest of his life looking over his shoulder while tiny meatballs roll ominously down the street behind him.The funeral discussion somehow gets even better when Rafe introduces the concept of a “coffin confessor” — someone hired before your death to attend your funeral and settle scores with people on your behalf. Rizz immediately sounds like a potential customer.Then everybody debates missed opportunities, secret crushes and Moon's claim that when a relationship is truly right, marriage doesn't necessarily have to be hard. Rafe quickly translates this into “get divorced today,” which is definitely not what Moon said but is much funnier for everyone else.Thankfully, National TV Dinner Day arrives before the relationship segment can destroy any actual marriages.The crew takes a nostalgia trip through Swanson fried chicken dinners, Banquet Salisbury steak, Hungry Man turkey dinners, Kid Cuisine, Stouffer's mac and cheese, Bagel Bites and the scorching brownie that somehow always had one renegade kernel of corn trapped inside it.That inspires perhaps the greatest terrible business idea in Rizz Show history: Stepfather's Pizza.Imagine a restaurant built around divorced-dad energy. TV dinners. Pizza. Old TVs at every booth playing MAS*H, Cheers, the Weather Channel and cheaply produced World War II documentaries. Dim lighting. Patchouli. Semi-folded laundry. Smoke alarms chirping because nobody replaced the battery.It's not a restaurant. It's an atmosphere of mild disappointment.The crew also celebrates the upcoming Cheesecake Factory location at West County Mall while trying to identify exactly what architectural theme Cheesecake Factory has been going for all these years. Egyptian? Greek? Mediterranean? Haunted Indiana Jones warehouse? The answer appears to be “yes.”From alarm-clock trauma to AI extinction, meatball destiny, funeral grudges, marriage debates and frozen Salisbury steak, this episode somehow turns existential dread into daily comedy — which is probably healthier than actually solving any of these problems.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
