Stuff That Interests Me
What I Want From 2026 (And Why I'm Telling You)

Stuff That Interests Me

Play Episode Listen Later Jan 4, 2026 6:56


Happy New Year to you.This time last year I did something I'd never done before, which was to publish my New Year's resolutions.I was nervous about doing it because, despite constantly putting stuff out on the internet, I'm actually quite private about some things, and it made me feel quite vulnerable publishing them.However, publicly stating goals pushes you to achieve them. You're making yourself accountable, so you're more likely to deliver. It also clarifies what you're actually looking for, and solidifies goals beyond abstract ideas. It can also prompt those reading them to help in some way, whether through advice, introductions or collaboration.I'm glad I did it, and I'm sure it helped me achieve a lot of those goals.Here they are, in case of interest:The health, body and mind stuff I pretty much succeeded at - I stayed fit, I drank even less (to the point of barely drinking at all), my fasting fell by the wayside and so my weight has crept up a little. I hit my reading target - just - though really I should read a lot more.Money was also a goal hit with gold, silver and most Flying Frisby tips all performing well (though let's be honest last year was a bonanza year for pretty much everyone except bitcoin maximalists).On the love and family side of things, I think I did ok - you'll have to ask my kids and mother if I have been a good father/son. My other big target of settling down with a certain Miss Downing was an abject failure, which is probably for the best all things considered, and I am grateful to my Guardian Angel for stepping in there.On the work and career front I should consider the year a success. The live shows were brilliant, sold out, we have a lot of dates in for the spring. The book has also done well. It's coming out in the US next year.Above all I have got Kisses on a Postcard moving forward, which was the most important target of the year.The two big failures were that I didn't finish two writing projects I had in mind - my Gilbert and Sullivan and Peasants Revolt musicals - nor did I do many gigs in the US or practice my uke every day, but I probably asked a bit too much of myself.All in all I should consider 2025 an annus perhaps not quite mirabilis, but certainly bonus, prosperus, felix et secundus - and be very grateful for itSo what are my goals this year?They're not unlike last year.Love and Family* Be a good dad to Samuel, Eliza, Lola and Ferdie, and to daughter-in-law, Millie.* Be a good grandad to Cecilia.* Be a good son to my mum.* Get a girlfriend.Kisses on a Postcard* Get the script as good as it can possibly be (happening as we speak).* Get a s**t hot director and cast* Raise 10 million quid* Shoot the next great musical.Easy!MoneySame as last year. Invest well and grow my net worth - and the net worth of Flying Frisby readers - by at least 20%. I beat that by some margin in 2025 in what, looking back, was a gift of a year thanks to gold, silver and the miners.If you live in the Third World Country such as the UK, I urge you to own gold or silver. The pound is going to be further devalued. The bullion dealer I recommend is The Pure Gold Company. Pricing is competitive, quality of service is high. They deliver to the UK, the US, Canada and Europe or you can store your gold with them. More here.Hard to see things being as easy in 2026, but I've got my eye on a few things. I will keep you very much in the loop.You know you should.Work & Career - Laughter, Acclaim, Opportunity* Grow the Flying Frisby by 20% in subscribers and revenue. Break into the Top 50. (Currently 60th)* Comedy - keep storming the gigs, land more tour dates in bigger venues selling more tickets* Promote The Secret History of Gold really well in the US when it launches in May* Build my online presence as both comic and commentator - I've got a specific plan for this* Keep writing songs and material, get better at the uke and make a start on guitarHealth, Body & MindI'm 76kg (12 stone/167lb). My weight has crept up these last few months, mainly since my habit of fasting has fallen by the wayside. I hit 67kg (10 ½ stone, 147lb) at one point in 2024 leading to several interventions from friends telling me I looked like a lesbian Gary Lineker. Maybe. But I felt great. I reckon my ideal weight is 72kg (11st 7, 160lb). So get there and stay there. Which means:* Fasting more regularly* Weights two or three times a week* Something aerobic two or three times a week* Daily stretching - dead hangs, pelvic floors, neck exercises* Stay off the booze* Eat more protein and starve that sweet tooth* Play more racket sports (good for the brain apparently). More tennis and table tennis, get into padel and pickleball.PLUS* Morning breathing practice and regular meditation/prayer* Read another 15 booksWish me luck!What about you - what are your goals for the year? Stick them in the comments if you fancy making yourself accountable tooIn the meantime, let me wish you a happy, healthy and prosperous 2026.I'll be back mid-week with my annual predictions piece.Until next time,DominicPS I was planning to take Christmas and New Year off. Never mind.PPS The tax loss trade is now positioned and ready to go. Take a look. This is a public episode.

It's the most inanimate time of the year! Kicking off our new Anthology series - Movies Set at Christmas, That Aren't Christmas Movies - the boys revisit one of their all-time favourites: In Bruges (2008). Tommy's been watching Diddy: The Reckoning (it's… a lot), while DL's juggling The Wheel of Time: Book 2 andTrue Grit the OG, both highly recommended.

Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson shine as two hitmen laying low after a job gone wrong, while Ralph Fiennes turns up to scream about principles. It's foul-mouthed, funny, and somehow heartfelt, like Home Alone if Kevin had PTSD and a Browning. DL calls it a masterpiece. Tommy would probably fight someone over that opinion. Everyone agrees: this is not a Christmas movie—but it kind of is.Is In Bruges the best anti-Christmas Christmas movie ever made? Let us know at thepodcastassemble@gmail.com or hit us up on socials.

321 - Life With a Fully Implanted Cochlear Implant: Michael Seufer Shares His Experience

A fully implantable cochlear implant isn't just a technical milestone—it's a fundamentally different way of living with hearing loss. In a candid conversation, Gael Hannan speaks with Michael Seufer, one of the first recipients of the Envoy Medical Acclaim, an investigational fully implanted cochlear implant that eliminates external hardware. Michael shares how his hearing loss, first identified in childhood, shaped his life—from academic challenges to finding refuge in hockey—and how traditional hearing aids eventually stopped providing the benefit he needed.Michael describes the moment he decided to pursue the Acclaim after years of discouraging experiences with amplification. Motivated by wanting to fully hear his young son, he enrolled in the clinical trial at Mayo Clinic and embraced the risks of cutting-edge technology. He explains that the fully internal system allows him to hear 24/7 without putting anything on, removing daily barriers common to hearing aid and CI users. From waking up able to converse immediately to showering, exercising, and using headphones normally, he says the experience feels “transparent,” allowing him to simply go about his life without thinking about hearing loss.He also details the device's internal rechargeable battery, its wireless charging system, and the notable sound quality he experiences—without feedback or the limitations of microphones and speakers. Michael emphasizes that he isn't a spokesperson, just someone whose life has changed dramatically and wants others to know what may be possible. Above all, he says, the Acclaim represents something deeper for him: “It's what hope sounds like.”Learn more about Michael's story: https://www.echoesofamiracle.com/For more information on the Acclaim and Envoy Medical's other products, visit: https://www.envoymedical.com/Be sure to subscribe to our channel for the latest episodes each week and follow This Week in Hearing on LinkedIn, Instagram and X.- https://x.com/WeekinHearing- https://www.instagram.com/thisweekinhearing/- https://www.linkedin.com/company/this-week-in-hearingVisit us at: https://hearinghealthmatters.org/thisweek/

AI wrote our show notes, so here is most of what we talk about on this show   Taco Bell Dessert Strategy Debate Scott and Jefry discussed the Baja Blast Pie from Taco Bell, with Scott expressing indifference towards the pie due to its unappealing color and high price. They agreed that Taco Bell should focus on reviving the Choco Taco instead of the Baja Blast Pie to truly dominate the dessert market. Jefry mentioned that he and his coworkers had been discussing the pie on Instagram, noting that reviews were generally underwhelming. The conversation concluded with a reminder for listeners to support the podcast by purchasing shirts from Pro WrestlingTees or WhatAManeuver.net, and to send emails to Fully Poseable WFP at gmail dot com.   2025 Toy Hall of Fame Inductees Jefry and Scott discussed the passing of Norman J. Lewis, co-founder of LJN, and reflected on the impact of LJN's toys and video games. They then focused on the National Toy Hall of Fame, highlighting the induction of three new toys for 2025: Battleship, Slime, and Trivia Pursuit. Jefry provided a brief history of the Hall of Fame, mentioning previous inductees and the process of selecting toys for induction.   AEW Wrestling Figures Discussion Jefry and Scott discussed various wrestling figures and collectibles, including Cody Rhodes' Winged Eagle title Pillow Buddy, KWK's White Fantasy gear of the Orient Express, and Major Pod's upcoming AEW wrestler figure. They also talked about the Big Rubber Guy Edge figure available at ShopAEW.com, with a limited variant featuring Darby Allen face paint. Finally, they briefly mentioned WWE Minx Collectibles' new series of figures and the upcoming Best of Ultimate Edition Series 7, featuring AJ, Cody, and Undertaker.   Failed ECW Video Game Critique Scott and Jefry discussed Hardcore Revolution, Acclaim's first ECW video game released in 2000 for multiple platforms. They criticized Acclaim for simply reusing and reskinning the WWE Attitude game rather than creating a unique ECW experience, leading to poor reviews and disappointment among fans. The game featured button combinations for moves, terrible graphics, and a basic career mode, while Acclaim's subsequent game, Anarchy Rules, was similarly lackluster. Despite the initial success of Acclaim's WWE games, Hardcore Revolution failed to capture the same magic, and Acclaim eventually went out of business in 2004, with its assets being acquired by THQ   Acclaim's Revival and Gaming Future Jefry and Scott discussed the revival of Acclaim Entertainment in 2025, led by Russell Binder, Mark Kaplan, and wrestler Jeff Jarrett, with Alex Joseph appointed as CEO. They reviewed Acclaim's announcement of nine indie games, including "Katu" and "Basketball Classics," and reflected on Acclaim's past wrestling games, criticizing them for reusing the same engine and not innovating despite competition. Scott and Jefry also shared their disappointment with the ECW Hardcore Revolution game, noting its generic music, poor character animations, and lack of innovation compared to other wrestling games of the time. They briefly discussed eBay prices for various gaming cartridges and the concept of graded video games as collectibles.

Howard shares his transition from commercial work and fanzine contributions to breaking into professional comics with DC, working on titles like Green Lantern, The Outsiders, Secret Origins, and Young All-Stars, as well as inking Dark Horse's Captain Crusader. We dive into his prolific 1990s work across multiple publishers including First Publishing's Grimjack and Munden's Bar, Heroic Comics' Captain Thunder and Blue Bolt, Icicle, and League of Champions, Topps' Ray Bradbury Comics: Martian Chronicles, and his extensive contributions as penciller, inker, and background artist for Acclaim's Valiant imprint series like Turok, plus his work illustrating Timon and Pumbaa stories for Disney Adventures. Howard discusses the differences between commercial art and comics, working across so many different publishers and genres, the craft of inking versus pencilling, and how the comics industry evolved from the 80s through the 90s. | Support the show___________________Check out video versions of this and other episodes on YouTube: youtube.com/dollarbinbandits!If you like this podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe on Apple Podcasts or wherever you found this episode.

Wade “Cito” Lammar Wheelington III is living the dream of countless artists. The creator and driving force behind ShugoPro (meaning “Guardian Productions”), Cito has successfully merged his passion for American superheroes and Japanese culture into a thriving professional career. A recent feature on the Mostly Superheroes Podcast offered a deep dive into his journey, confirming him as one of the most exciting creators to watch in the world of independent manga and beyond. A Lifelong Love Affair with Art and Anime Cito's artistic path began in elementary school, fueled by a fascination with classic comic books and superheroes. This passion soon broadened to include an intense interest in Japanese culture, ignited by visits to the annual St. Louis Japanese Festival. It was here that he discovered and became captivated by anime and manga classics, specifically citing titles like Sailor Moon and Yu Yu Hakusho as major inspirations. His goal became singular and ambitious: to move to Japan and produce his own manga. He began studying the Japanese language in high school to pave the way. Education and Acclaim in Japan Cito transformed his dream into reality in 2012 when he moved to Japan. After initially furthering his language studies at the Nagano Kokusai Bunka Gakuin, he gained acceptance into the prestigious Tokyo Communication Arts Specialty School in 2014. There, he majored in Creative Design with a focus on honing his skills as a manga artist. His talent quickly stood out. During his time at the college, he won first place in the school's annual Manga Grand Prix. His work gained significant attention from the local media, being featured on three different Japanese television programs before his graduation in the spring of 2017. Current Projects: Love or Duty and Marvel Following his formal education, Cito has focused on bringing his original stories to life: Manga Success: Cito published his first short series, Blue Crisis Love, in 2016 while still a student. He is now heavily focused on his shoujo manga passion project, Love or Duty. After a successful Kickstarter campaign, the complete 10-chapter first season was published in 2023 and is available digitally on Kindle. Cito confirmed that the highly anticipated Season 2 is currently halfway complete, promising more romance and action for his growing fanbase. The Isaiah Bradley Project: In a major potential development, Cito is also collaborating on "The Isaiah Bradley Project," a new endeavor with Marvel. This project aims to deliver an updated retelling of the original comic book Truth: Red, White & Black, which explores the backstory of Isaiah Bradley, the first Captain America prototype. The initiative is also set to include new merchandise, such as posters and hats, to accompany the production. Cito Wheelington III, through ShugoPro, continues to be a vibrant example of how dedication and a fusion of international influences can lead to creative success. Fans of manga and superhero lore alike should keep an eye on this talented artist as he takes on Season 2 of Love or Duty and, potentially, the Marvel Universe.

Summary of "Fork in Your Ear" Podcast Episode (Tim & Nate) This casual, banter-heavy episode kicks off with the hosts (Tim and Nate) fumbling through a sound check amid slurping coffee, barking dogs, and tech glitches—classic podcaster chaos. They joke about cluttered lives, puppy invasions, and Nate's XLR setup before rolling into the main show with self-deprecating humor about aging, coffee mishaps, and existential dread ("Why are we alive?"). Life Updates Tim's Whirlwind: Tim's dealing with home repairs (new dishwasher installed by a former Michelin-star chef from NYC who's now a handyman post-COVID; garage door fixed with smart integrations but noisy app beeps; doorknob drama leading to wild life stories). His leg's seizing from scar tissue (PT starts soon), mom's estate sale cleared out the house but didn't cover septic costs—still a win for decluttering. Financially, things improved: instant check processing, Apple Card approval (finally, after years of denials), and a surprise Xbox delivery after billing nightmares. He rants about Microsoft's chatbot hell for support. Nate's Rollercoaster: Work's feast-or-famine; a past-due job means Sunday overtime (paid double for minimal hours—great for him, bad for the business). Employee health crises abound: a coworker out post-heart attack/stroke, another starting chemo for throat cancer, and a recent funeral. Family hits hard too—stepmom's husband passed, niece prepping for birth amid her first wave of funerals ("Buckle up, buttercup"). Positives: Inheritance windfall pays off a car (no more payments, despite tire-popping wife jokes), and splurging on a kid-proof PC setup (i5, RTX 3050, durable mechanical keyboard/mouse) to spare their main rigs. Shared Vibes: Aging woes (Nate's "pentagenarian" shoulder pain; Tim's body betrayals), random revelations (Tim's massage therapist's quick divorce), and bio breaks mid-episode. Video Games Tim's Light Play: Minimal gaming due to life chaos—snippets of Helltank 2 on new Xbox Series X Galaxy Edition (smoother than Series S; no cross-play griefing despite PS fears; chat lags initially). Excited for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond (Dec. 4 release; open-world vibes with space motorbike teased in janky trailer—fans divided). Rants: Nintendo's absurd NPC-summoning patent (pre-dates Pokémon); Acclaim's surprise revival with indies like Dead Space Cells knockoff; UE5 scalability for Switch 2 (Star Wars Outlaws shines despite hardware hate); Xbox price hikes ($799 for Galaxy—Tim snagged pre-raise); No Man's Sky Switch 2 Corvette update (multiplayer still OG Switch-less); all RE games native on Switch 2; Perfect Dark cancellation drama (near Take-Two publishing deal fell through). Nate's Dives: Hollow Knight: Silksong (beautiful Metroidvania, but zero onboarding—jumped in blind); Sword of the Sea (watery sandy area progression); Destiny 2 (season-behind fixes make it smooth; hyped for Renegades). Correction: His GameSir controller model's a lighter version (no hall-effect triggers/rumble). Nintendo Direct Highlights: Super Mario Galaxy 1&2 combo (up-res'd for Switch 2; $45 Amiibos rage); Super Mario Bros. Movie sequel subtitled Galaxy (Rosalina focus? Scarlett Johansson headcanon); FF7 Remake & Sonic Trilogy ports; Fire Emblem tease. Sony drama: Ghost of Yōtei designer fired over Charlie Kirk comments (lame PR response). Tech Headsets & Peripherals: Tim's new HyperX Cloud Alpha (fixed PS echo issues; spatial audio blew friend's mind—stereo 101 roast). Nate's Arctis Nova (won in raffle; mix amp for chat/game). Apple Event Rundown: iPhone lineup confirmed (Air: ultra-thin titanium, single cam, cut-down Pro chip; 17 Pros: aluminum return, "Plateau" camera bar for antennas, vapor chamber cooling, 30% sustained perf boost). Modems: C1/C1X in-house (Air/SE); Wi-Fi/Bluetooth N1 chip (efficiency gains). Watches: Hypertension detection, sat-phone Ultra, better battery. OS unifications: Watch/iPad meh (laggy fonts); Apple TV smooth but tiny text; iOS front cam upgrade (square sensor for tracking/selfies). Meta Fail: Ray-Ban Meta AI demo glitches mid-cooking demo ("Meta, what do I do?" meme gold). PC Woes: Tim's shipped rig (Descent setup) dead on arrival—video ports fried; Nate suspects reseat. Entertainment RIP Robert Redford (87; natural causes at home—bummer for Endgame fans). Books/Media: Tim binged Red Rising trilogy (piercing sci-fi; full-cast audiobook for book 4); fan-made Tron: Ares supercut trailer slaps. NIN's Tron: Ares score: Atmospheric/Fragile-era vibes (repetitive riffs, subdued electronics; Infiltrator as core theme; Building Better Worlds evokes Wendy Carlos). Harry Potter full-cast audiobooks incoming (star-studded: McAvoy, Pegg, etc.—overdue money grab?). TV Gripes: Mr. & Mrs. Smith S2 delayed indefinitely (cliffhanger rage); Nate finished Strange New Worlds (Tim slacking on Trek). Episode wraps on unifications' mixed bag, with laughs over beeps, updates, and "pentagenarian" jabs. Runtime ~2.5 hours of raw, unfiltered bro-chat—perfect for fans of tech rants and life entropy.

Smell this yogurt, is it still good? Our sense of smell has the ability to keep us healthy and safe. In fact in some cases, our ability to detect "off" foods using our sense of smell can be superior to dogs and other animals. Smell is often undervalued and yet capable of inspiring profound admiration if we stop turning our noses at it. Producer Annie Bender examines what we lose when we take our powerful — but often misunderstood — sense of smell for granted. *This episode originally aired on June 3, 2024.

Bad Bunny
Bad Bunny Dominates Puerto Rico with Epic Residency, New Music, and Global Acclaim

Bad Bunny, or Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, is dominating headlines and social media this week as he wraps up his epic two-month residency, No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí, at Puerto Rico's Coliseo de Puerto Rico. This 30-concert extravaganza transformed San Juan into a nonstop celebration, drawing fans worldwide and sparking a festival atmosphere across the city—bars overflowed, murals sprang up overnight, and legendary surprise guests hit the stage. Reports from Radio Milwaukee paint a scene of San Juan “alive,” with airport lines snaking out the door for merch, pop-ups celebrating Benito, and entire neighborhoods blasting his biggest hits. Inside the arena, each performance was a spectacle of lights, pyrotechnics, Puerto Rican iconography, and star-studded cameos—Arcángel, Ivy Queen, Young Miko, and Feid all took turns electrifying the crowd.The residency was more than a concert series; it was a declaration of Puerto Rican pride and a global showcase of Latin music's power. Bad Bunny himself, sharing with i-D Magazine, described the energy as “unprecedented,” uniting generations with music rooted in salsa, bomba y plena, and classic reggaetón influences interspersed throughout his flashy pop catalog.Just this Monday, Bad Bunny surprised fans with the release of his new single “Alambre Púa.” According to AOL, he debuted the track live for the residency's closing weekend, using it as the adrenaline-charged opener that set the tone for a 30-song marathon. This marks his first new music since January's album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos, which itself remains a Billboard and streaming juggernaut well into the year. Variety notes that the album's popularity is powering everything from record sales to unique brand tie-ins, like a special Peloton workout series celebrating Bad Bunny's music and artistic journey.The residency, however, is only the beginning of Bad Bunny's next chapter. ABC News and The Fader detail that his highly anticipated world tour for 2025-2026, supporting Debí Tirar Más Fotos, will not feature any U.S. dates. Bad Bunny cited not just a sense that he had “already done the U.S. extensively,” but, more seriously, concerns about safety and the threat of ICE raids for himself and his fans—a move the artist discussed candidly with both Variety and i-D.Recognition for Bad Bunny's achievements continues to skyrocket: the Latin Times confirms that he just broke the all-time record for nominations at the 2025 Billboard Latin Music Awards, earning an incredible 27 nominations. He leads across categories—Artist of the Year, Songwriter of the Year, Top Latin Album for Debí Tirar Más Fotos, and a slew of individual single nominations, underscoring his dominance in both streaming and on the charts. The awards ceremony will air live on October 23, 2025, from Miami, so expect even more historic moments as the date approaches.Meanwhile, Bad Bunny's cultural reach goes further than music. As reported by Variety, he's starring alongside Adam Sandler in the much-hyped movie Happy Gilmore 2, released in July, continuing his rapid rise as a multifaceted global entertainer.Thanks for tuning in—come back next week for another update on Bad Bunny and all things music.
