Almost all streamers offer some sort of discount via perks through Credit Cards, Cable and TV Providers, or Mobile Phone plans. On today's show we go through the top streamers and how you can get their services for free or reduced price. Neflix T-Mobile: Netflix on Us is included with many of their higher-tier unlimited plans. It provides Netflix Standard with Ads for free. Other carriers occasionally bundle it, but T-Mobile is currently the most consistent and prominent in the US. Xfinity (Comcast): Adding their "StreamSaver" bundle ($15/mo) includes Netflix Standard with Ads alongside Peacock Premium with ads and Apple TV+. Similar occasional perks appear with Spectrum, Verizon Fios, or others during promotions, but they're not guaranteed long-term. Peacock Instacart+ If you subscribe to Instacart+ about $99/year, you can get Peacock Premium included at no extra cost. Xfinity Internet customers on Gigabit or higher plans can get up to 2 years of Peacock Premium free. Xfinity NOW TV streaming service subscribers get Peacock Premium included. Xfinity Rewards members (especially higher tiers like Diamond/Platinum) can claim Peacock Premium as a perk at no extra cost. Walmart+ membership often bundles Peacock Premium for free as part of the subscription benefits. Promotional deals or bundles — These pop up from time to time, and can save money. Student/Young Adult discounts — heavily reduced about $5.99/month for students via verification or young adult offers. AppleTV+ When you buy a new iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple TV 4K, you get 3 months of Apple TV+ free. Apple One bundle trial — Plans start around $19.95/month (Individual) after the trial, making Apple TV+ effectively part of a discounted bundle compared to subscribing separately. T-Mobile (US) — With qualifying Magenta or Magenta MAX plans, you can get Apple TV+ included at no extra cost. Some carriers (like Verizon or others in the past) have occasionally bundled Apple TV+ free or discounted with phone plans, but T-Mobile is the most consistent. Peacock + Apple TV+ bundle — In some regions, you can bundle Apple TV+ with Peacock for around $14.99/month (saving over 30% compared to separate subscriptions). Paramount+ Walmart+ subscribers ($12.95/month or $98/year) get Paramount+ Essential (the ad-supported plan) included at no extra cost. You can choose between Paramount+ Essential or Peacock Premium (with ads) as a streaming benefit. DirecTV (top-tier/Ultimate packages) may offer complimentary Paramount+. Other providers like Hulu (as a Paramount+ with SHOWTIME add-on) sometimes have free trials or bundled access for eligible subscribers. Verified U.S. military members get 50% off any plan for life (via SheerID verification). This is a permanent discount. Teachers Discount — Teachers may get 50% off any plan. Hulu Eligible U.S. service members, veterans, and families can get 25% off Hulu (With Ads) through The Exchange (shopmyexchange.com). Select T-Mobile plans include ad-supported Hulu for free. Some plans also bundle Netflix or other services. This can make Hulu effectively $0 if you already have or switch to a qualifying plan. Occasional promotions from American Express Platinum and some other credit cards may offer free access to Hulu, Disney+, or HBO/Max bundles, but these are niche and time-limited. Bundles for Disney+, ESPN+ and Hulu start around $9.99–$12.99/mo can save from $5 to $15 when compared to separate subscriptions. ESPN+ Verizon: Select Unlimited 5G plans include the Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN Bundle (often Disney+ Premium, Hulu with ads, and ESPN Select with ads) at no extra charge. T-Mobile: Offers Hulu "ON US" with select plans, but ESPN+ inclusion is less direct—some bundles or promotions tie in Disney/Hulu/ESPN elements. It's more Hulu-focused, but check T-Mobile's streaming perks for any ESPN-related deals. Other carriers like AT&T may have occasional streaming bundles—verify your plan. Provider-included access: If you have cable/satellite/streaming TV services like DIRECTV, Fubo, Hulu + Live TV, Spectrum, Verizon FiOS, Cox, etc., you may get ESPN Unlimited or Select access included. Disney+ | Hulu Bundle - see above Disney+ Verizon: Several eligible Unlimited mobile plans (or certain home internet plans) include the Disney Bundle for free or at no extra cost. Disney+ | Hulu Bundle - see above Some cards (e.g., American Express Blue Cash Everyday) offer statement credits toward Disney+/Hulu (up to $7/month or similar). HBO Max If you have HBO through a cable/satellite package like DirecTV, or select plans from providers like Spectrum, internet service, or a wireless plan, you may get Max access at no extra cost. Sign in via the Max app with your provider credentials. Some older AT&T Unlimited plans or specific bundles still include it. Certain mobile carriers or services bundle Max for free or as part of a higher-tier plan. Examples include occasional Verizon or AT&T promotions (though many shifted to Disney bundles). Check your carrier's perks section—some offer limited-time free months.

They get into the workroom beef between Briar, Athena, and Mia, and question exactly who Juicy's best friend is.

Service Business Mastery - Business Tips and Strategies for the Service Industry
Contractors who do not own their customer list will lose. As AI, search, and digital platforms continue to change, relying on Google, ads, or third party platforms puts your business at risk. In this episode of Service Business Mastery, we break down why owning your customer list is no longer optional for contractors and service business owners who want to survive and scale in the next decade. Joshua Crouch and Tersh Blissett sit down with Peter Murphy Lewis, founder of Strategic Pete, to explain how contractors can protect their business by building direct relationships with their audience, increasing client loyalty, and using AI driven systems without giving control to platforms they do not own. Search is changing. Ads are getting more expensive. Algorithms decide who wins and who disappears. If you do not own your audience, you are renting your business. This conversation explains exactly why owning your list matters more than ever and how contractors can start taking control now. What you will learn in this episode • Why contractors who rely only on ads and search are at risk • How AI is accelerating changes in customer acquisition • Why owning your customer list creates long term stability • How client loyalty protects your business during market shifts • The difference between renting attention and owning relationships • How to use content and systems to stay in front of your audience • Practical ways contractors can start building their list today This episode is for contractors and service business owners who want predictable growth, lower marketing risk, and long term control over their business.

Season 8 continues with a deep, affectionate dive into one of the most important and quietly influential film careers of the late 20th century — Winona Ryder.Dangerous Dave explores how Winona became the defining face of outsider cool, Gen-X intelligence, and emotional honesty across the 1980s and 1990s. We rewind the clock in What Happened Way Back When, digging into obscure movies, cult songs, and forgotten TV shows from the era that shaped her rise, before hitting Retro Headlines from the UK and the US to set the cultural backdrop.In a long-form Dangerous Deep Dive, the episode charts Winona's journey from teenage breakout to generational icon, with detailed discussion of her 80s films (Lucas, Beetlejuice, Heathers) and her defining 90s run (Edward Scissorhands, Reality Bites, Little Women, Girl, Interrupted). Each era is unpacked with context, behind-the-scenes stories, and why these roles still resonate today.Elsewhere in the episode:

In this episode of Next in Media, I sit down with Kiri Masters, host of the Retail Media Breakfast Club podcast, to explore the biggest shifts happening in retail media advertising. We dive into the recent announcement about ads coming to ChatGPT and what that means for brands trying to meet consumers where they are. Kiri shares her perspective on whether AI-powered shopping will truly disrupt the retail media landscape - and why she's optimistic that LLM-based ads could actually be more relevant and less annoying than traditional formats. We also unpack the Walmart-Google partnership and discuss what it signals about the future of conversational commerce.Beyond the AI conversation, we tackle some of the industry's most pressing questions. Will we see consolidation in retail media networks this year? Can shoppable TV finally gain traction? And what happens when offsite retail media faces competition from platforms with their own transactional data? Kiri brings both historical context - including a fascinating story about Piggly Wiggly's self-service revolution - and forward-looking insights about how brands and retailers need to collaborate differently. Whether you're a marketer navigating this space or just curious about where AI and commerce intersect, this conversation offers a clear-eyed look at what's real, what's hype, and what's coming next._______________________________________________Key Highlights

Airey Bros Radio – Episode 431 is a deep-dive on the real mechanics of modern college recruiting — not highlight reels and slogans, but the communication systems that shape commitments, retention, transfers, and culture.We're joined by Dan Tudor, founder of Tudor Collegiate Strategies and host of the College Recruiting Weekly Podcast, after a recommendation from Coach Steve Delgado (SWOCC Cross Country & Track). Dan has spent 20+ years helping college coaches and athletic departments build recruiting messaging that actually works — emails, letters, texts, phone calls, campus visits, and the “what happens next” process that recruits (and families) crave.In this episode, we break down:Why most coaches were never trained to recruit (and why recruiting is really sales + storytelling)The biggest recruiting mistake: coaches recruiting athletes the way they were recruitedWhy email is #1 for athletes (yes — in 2026)How to write a first message that feels real, personal, and response-worthyWhy letters are more powerful than ever (and how they influence families + decision-making)How to stay consistent without sounding like a used car salesmanWhy D3 can be a better financial deal than people think (academic aid, grants, packaging)Transfer portal recruiting: why it's more business decision than emotional decisionHow better communication reduces transfers and increases buy-in
The Alabama Crimson Tide has had an active midweek bye this week without playing a game, the Crimson Tide may have former Alabama Basketball big man Charles Bediako available Saturday against the Tennessee Volunteers at 7:30 on ESPN. It was an active Wednesday on the Bediako front as a Tuscaloosa judge ruled in his favor with a temporary restraining order against the NCAA that allows Bediako to be eligible for Saturday's game during the delay prior to the Tuesday hearing that will determine his ultimate eligibility. The NCAA is not happy about this and coaches and ADs from across the country have weighed in on what has happened in Tuscaloosa. We will hear from them.

OpenAI is introducing advertisements into ChatGPT for free and ChatGPT Go users, aiming to fund artificial general intelligence development. These ads will be clearly labeled and separate from AI responses, with OpenAI stating user conversations will remain private and data will not be sold. Ads will be excluded from sensitive topics. Users can avoid ads by upgrading to a paid subscription, such as the new $8/month ChatGPT Go tier, which offers increased limits and access to the latest model but also features advertisements. This move signifies a monetization strategy, with OpenAI reporting significant revenue growth for ChatGPT.The broader impact of AI on jobs is also discussed, with data suggesting job losses attributed to AI may be overstated. While some roles are affected, particularly entry-level positions, the overall employment impact appears limited. Reports indicate that AI is often used as a justification for layoffs driven by economic factors or overhiring, rather than being the sole cause. The analysis highlights that AI's productivity gains are currently modest, requiring substantial increases to drive large-scale job replacement. However, the International Monetary Fund estimates nearly 40% of global jobs are at risk due to AI, with a growing demand for new skills that offer a wage premium.Automation and platform integrations are accelerating, with ConnectWise acquiring ZofIQ to automate service desk operations within its PSA workflow. D&H is expanding its logistics capabilities by acquiring fulfillment.com, enhancing its supply chain services. Microsoft MVPs are collaborating to showcase free Intune management tools to help organizations manage their Intune environments more effectively. These developments indicate a trend towards deeper platform integration and automation within IT service delivery and logistics.For MSPs and IT service providers, these developments highlight several critical considerations. The introduction of ads in AI tools like ChatGPT raises questions about trust and governance, particularly when these tools are integrated into client-facing workflows. The slowdown in hiring, especially for junior roles, underscores the need for strategic talent development to avoid future capacity gaps. Furthermore, the increasing automation within platforms and services, while offering efficiency, necessitates careful management of counterparty risk, clear contractual definitions of authority, and redefined pricing models to account for shifting liability and decision-making. Vendors retreating from emerging technologies like Meta's VR business also underscore the importance of diligent vendor selection and managing the credibility cost associated with adopted technologies.

Ads are coming to ChatGPT, but they don't have to follow the same tired playbook as search and social. This episode outlines a five-part plan for doing ads differently: giving users real control and transparency, shifting from pay-for-attention to pay-for-outcomes, building a genuinely useful offers exchange, letting brands fund capabilities and action-oriented agents instead of banner placements, and creating ad programs people actually want to support through small business and AI-native founder grants. Ads may be inevitable, but a conversational interface creates a rare chance to make them feel like features, not interruptions.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1247: Canada slashes EV tariffs in a controversial China deal, OpenAI kicks off its ad-supported ChatGPT Go plan, and Recurrent CEO Scott Case calls out the real EV story: a booming used market dealers can't afford to miss.Show Notes with links: In a surprise move, Canada struck a deal with China to allow 49,000 Chinese-made EVs into the country annually at a dramatically lower tariff—down from 106% to just 6.1%—in exchange for agricultural trade concessions. The move has stirred both optimism and outrage across the automotive industry.The deal drew sharp criticism from Unifor and industry leaders, who say it rewards unfair labor practices.Critics say it could hurt Canadian auto jobs and complicate USMCA negotiations with the U.S.One of the qualifications is that the vehicles be priced around $30k CAD (25K USD)Don't call it a slow down says , Scott Case, CEO of Recurrent in is Automotive News Op Ed. Despite media headlines suggesting electric vehicle demand is cooling, Case says the narrative is missing the real story and it is that used EVs are booming as he urges dealers to ignore short-term noise and prepare for a long-term shift.Case argues that demand isn't falling, it's shifting to lower-cost used EVs as new prices soar.The used EV market is set to grow 5x, driven by a wave of off-lease EVs hitting the market in 2026.“Winning in the EV market means selling $30K vehicles with 300-mile range and Tesla charging access. In 2026, that means used EVs.” —Scott Case, Recurrent CEO OpenAI just opened the ad door inside ChatGPT as it launches its lowest-cost plan worldwide. That's right, ads are coming to the AI assistant for free and Go users in the U.S., marking a major monetization pivot ahead of a planned IPO.ChatGPT Go is now available globally at $8/month and includes GPT‑5.2 Instant access.Ads will appear as “Sponsored Recommendations” under responses for Go and free users. Sam Altman once called ads a “last resort,” but now says he's okay with them “if it doesn't violate user trust.”“Ads support our commitment to making AI accessible… by helping us keep ChatGPT available at free and affordable price points.” —OpenAI blogThis episode of the Automotive State of the Union is brought to you by Amazon Autos: Meet customers where they shop: reach high-intent buyers shopping for their next car on the #1 online retailer.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Let me paint a picture that I see all the time with ecommerce brands. You're spending money on marketing. Ads, SEO, social media, maybe influencers. You're driving traffic to your website. And you can see in your analytics that people are visiting. Some of them are even adding things to their cart. But then... they just disappear. They don't buy. They don't come back. They vanish into the ether. And you're left wondering — where did they go? What happened? Why didn't they buy? This is what I call the leaky bucket problem. You keep pouring traffic into your website, but sales are draining out the bottom. And no matter how much you spend on ads or how clever your marketing is, if your bucket has holes in it, you're never going to fill it up. The frustrating part is that your website won't tell you what's wrong. At least, not in plain English. You can stare at your analytics all day, but unless you know exactly what to look for, you're just looking at numbers that don't mean much. If it's been a while since you thoroughly and objectively reviewed your website — specifically, whether it's actually doing its job of bringing in and converting customers — you might find that it's quietly leaking sales every single day without you even realising it… In this episode, I go through the 3 layers of a website audit: are the right people discovering your brand (including via AI search), are they getting to your website, and are they converting into buyers? And given AI search is so new, there's a real first-mover advantage if you master this now!

1. EquityI'm not sure how Google would define “equity,” but my definition of equity is “stored value.”As a homeowner, you understand home equity as the stored value that it offers you.Your equity in your home is a product of all the time, energy, and money that you have put into it, plus the value that has been added by the passage of time.Relational equity is accumulated in the same way.“What have we invested in each other? What have we endured? How many years have we traveled through life together?”Relational equity is why we tolerate annoyances and troubles from the people we love. They have added value to our lives, so they have relational equity in us.Likewise, customer-bonding ads create relational equity between today's businesses and tomorrow's customers. They do this by highlighting shared perspectives, beliefs, and values.Customer-bonding ads communicate authenticity, and vulnerability. And they are always there, 52 weeks a year. Authenticity, vulnerability, and the passage of time are not easy to fake or accelerate.Keep those things in mind as you read on.2. AIEighty-seven Wizards of Ads who stay in regular touch with nearly 1,000 businesses are a reliable finger on the pulse of what is happening.This is what is happening:Google Search results have been altered in a dramatic and unexpected way. Some companies have benefited greatly from Google's new methodology while other companies have been devastated by it.You'll understand what separates the winners from the losers in just a moment.With 6,000 employees, Edelman is the world's largest PR agency. They help companies worldwide manage their reputations and trust through stories published in mass media.Edelman has been doing what they do since 1952.On October 27, 2025, Christmas decorations were vibrating in anticipation of replacing Halloween decor when Brent Nelson – Chief Strategy Officer at Edelman – was quoted in Ad Age magazine.Explaining why Google dramatically expanded their results-ranking criteria, Nelson said,“What drives visibility isn't your ad budget or keyword bids; it's earned media. Analysis shows that 90% of what appears in AI summaries is ‘earned-driven'—pulled from reviews, press, blogs, forums and cultural chatter. Paid now plays a different role, amplifying what's already there.”“The new shelf space isn't a store; it's the AI summary. Brands need to understand their earned footprint across AI-generated answers.”“Who gets cited? Who's trusted? Who's missing? That's the new baseline of visibility.”In other words, Google is now rewarding Relational Equity.3. A PredictionHundreds of new companies are about to leap into the Public Relations business. Their goal will be to get their clients mentioned in online press, blogs, forums and cultural chatter.PR is an easy business to get into. It won't be long before you are approached by someone who has a PR solution to help you improve your AEO (Ask Engine Optimization).If you remember any of today's Monday Morning Memo, let it be this:“If you don't have anything interesting to say, don't let anyone convince you to pay money to say it.”Company slogans, mush-mouth clichés and traditional ad-speak are not going to move the needle.Every month or two, you are going to need something new, exciting, different, and entirely real to say.4. A SuggestionRadio stations would be smart to start a daily or weekly blog that is fun, quick, entertaining, easy-to-read, and full of valuable things that every consumer would want to know about.If I owned a station in Austin, I would call my blog “Cool Things Austin Needs to Know”If my blog was well written
