Three Point Stance - Are the Savannah Bananas for children? // Patriot fans should "keep the light on" for AJ Brown // Andy thinks the Pats are building to be a run team //

Emily has emerged from Moving Hell (barely, temporarily) just in time for Ky and her to get an episode out on a sweet song featuring multiple bad choices, a very lopsided order, and sixteen tons of nuts. At least, it's a little bit about that. It's a lot about circus instructor stress, a surprise thunder storm, and how Emily's cats are taking the chaos. Make yourself a sundae and tune in! You'll never guess the name of Ky's favorite ice cream flavor!

El mundo se ha contado siempre desde la mirada masculina, ignorando a la otra mitad de la población, pero el feminismo lleva siglos luchando por cambiar la narrativa. Desde las sufragistas hasta el movimiento #MeToo, el feminismo ha recorrido un largo camino marcado por conquistas, debates internos y reacciones en su contra. En este episodio repasamos las cuatro olas del feminismo, sus principales corrientes y su influencia en el análisis de las relaciones internacionales. También abordamos los retos del presente: la regresión en derechos como el aborto en Estados Unidos, el auge de los discursos antifeministas y la creciente brecha ideológica entre hombres y mujeres jóvenes. Hoy en "No es el fin del mundo" hablamos de la historia del feminismo. Este episodio ha sido realizado gracias a la beca europea GenEU.

Ecuador is the world's largest exporter of bananas - supplying 70 different countries and responsible for a third of global exports. In September 2025, they reported their first official case of Fusarium oxysporum, special form Cubense, Tropical Race 4. The modern banana plague. The Ecuadorean authorities rapidly quarantined the area, and so far it seems to have been contained to small regions. But the fungus has been spreading elsewhere. It has been wrecking havoc in Southeast Asia since it first emerged there in the late 1960s. And in 2019, it entered Latin America for the first time. First in Colombia and then Peru and then Venezuela. Fusarium is one of the most destructive plant diseases ever discovered. In today's video, we discuss the Banana. Ever convenient. Ever delicious. Now in a slow-burn crisis.

Alex breaks down the rapidly escalating drug war in Ecuador, where U.S.-backed military operations are targeting powerful gangs that control one of the world's main cocaine routes. As Washington deepens its alliance with Ecuador's government, the conflict raises bigger geopolitical questions about America's growing role in Latin America. And with economic pressure mounting on Havana, Alex asks the question now being whispered in Washington: Is Cuba next?

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1284: Today we're looking at Carvana quietly buying franchised dealerships, GM reshaping used-car sales around CarBravo, and Google's newest AI image model.Carvana is continuing its quiet march into the franchised dealer world. The online used-car giant just bought another Stellantis dealership near Boston—its sixth in about a year—raising eyebrows across the industry and hinting at a bigger strategy to capture inventory, service revenue, and customer proximity.The company has rapidly built a cluster of CDJR stores across the country including locations in California, Arizona, Georgia, and Texas, spending about $160 million on five of them.Stellantis recently added a rule limiting buyers to one CDJR dealership per year, a move some believe may be aimed at slowing consolidation from players like Carvana.Analysts say the strategy likely centers on access to trade-ins, parts, service revenue, and more used-car inventory to feed Carvana's core online business.CEO Ernie Garcia hinted at bigger ambitions saying: “The opportunities around us feel really, really, really big.”In a bid to compete with online disruptors like Carvana, GM is restructuring how its dealers sell pre-owned vehicles. The shift centers on pushing dealers toward GM's CarBravo platform and dramatically expanding what qualifies for a factory-backed warranty.GM is dissolving its long-running certified pre-owned program structure for Chevrolet, Buick, and GMC dealers, asking them to move used vehicle sales under its CarBravo national online marketplace starting in June.Dealers must use CarBravo if they want to sell used GM vehicles with factory-backed warranties, while Cadillac will keep its traditional certified pre-owned program.The program expands eligibility dramatically—even non-GM vehicles and cars up to 15 years old could qualify for warranties, far beyond today's typical five-year CPO limit.GM says the goal is to increase used-car inventory flowing through dealerships and capture demand in a market where 40M used cars sell annually vs. ~16M new vehicles.Mohawk Chevrolet president Andy Guelcher says the platform expanded reach: “I'm talking to people that I've never spoken to before.”Google just rolled out Gemini 3.1 Flash Image—aka Nano Banana 2—combining faster generation with the consistency needed for real production use.Google's Gemini 3.1 Flash Image merges the intelligence of its Pro image model with the speed of its Flash architecture, making high-quality image generation fast enough for everyday workflows.The model pulls real-time knowledge from the web, meaning generated images can reflect current information rather than static training data.It can maintain consistent characters across five people and track up to 14 objects, enabling multi-frame campaigns and repeatable branded assets.Today'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/

That leaves the question of whether the silliest topic is a blind test involving audio cables, wet mud, and bananas, or is it the notion of whether your speakers would sound better if they were in the middle of a forest made of dowels.

Welcome To The Real Oshow,0:00 Intro0:45 Jim Carrey Cloned?3:15 Why MrBeast Views Down 50%6:50 Phil Jackson's 40-20 Rule9:30 Why MLB is Copying the Savannah Bananas?13:50 Inventions That Were Hated When They First Appeared18:40 Closing Thoughts This week on The Real Oshow, brothers Joshua and Zachary break down one of the strangest viral stories on the internet right now: the alleged Jim Carrey clone. The internet ran with the theory that a mysterious man had cloned celebrities, but the deeper you look the clearer it becomes that the whole story was more internet myth than reality. Then the conversation shifts to MrBeast, whose YouTube views are supposedly “down” in 2026, but the numbers behind that headline reveal a very different story about why he's still the most dominant creator in the world.The guys also dive into the St. Louis Cardinals' $29 all-you-can-eat ticket, a move that feels straight out of the Savannah Bananas playbook and shows how sports teams are starting to rethink the fan experience. It raises a bigger question about whether traditional teams are quietly borrowing ideas from viral sports entertainment brands like Jesse Cole's Bananas. To wrap the episode, Joshua and Zachary explore some of the most famous inventions people initially hated, proving that the ideas we mock today sometimes become the biggest innovations tomorrow. From viral internet conspiracies to sports business experiments and misunderstood inventions, this episode covers the stories shaping culture right now.Check out our YouTube page - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoqz3s_B_VYHuQtuVIDxpiQTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@therealoshow?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pcTweet @zacharyowings2 with your thoughts about the podcast or suggestions for future shows.Music by Leno Tk - Greatness (Streaming on all platforms)

Double Tap - Ep 451 This episode of Double Tap is brought to you by: Gideon Optics (Code: WLSISLIFE) Primary Arms Blue Alpha Rost Martin (Code: WLSISLIFE) Otis Technology (Code: WELIKESHOOTING15) Mitchell Defense (Code: WLS10) Text Dear WLS or Reviews +1 743 500 2171  Public https://welikeshooting.com/titles/ DEAR WLS Note Question from Mistertheguyaskingaquestion. I recently ordered my first suppressor since I live in a comme state now and they're trying to put a $500 tax on suppressors. I got a resilient suppressors, simple man 30 cal can. 2 questions. One, Is this a decent suppressor for the $500 I paid. Two, how many rounds do you think it will last. I will mostly be using it on bolt actions with occasional use on an ar. Great show! Question from Anonymous Coward from GA If reasonable fear of grave bodily harm justifies self defence, and whistles and bullhorns cause permanent hearing damage, why aren't we shooting protesters? Question from Dusky from Florida Dear WLS, We are seeing quite a bit of piston driven rifle systems, mainly AR (cause fuck everything else) hit not only the market but the front lines and the streets in some cases as it seems to be being issued more often. I understand the basic concept of the piston driven rifle; doesn't dump trash and heat into the bolt so much as well as other things… (maybe Jeremy can even explain some of the differences of some of the different piston systems, if we're lucky enough for him to oblige us in between burps and yawns and hitting his mic if he'snot playing clash of clans [love you Jerombe]) So why though? Probably has a lot to do with the previously stated reason, as well as running suppressors being common SOP for many, which brings up my question – Will we ever see more piston systems than DI? Do you think there will be a point where that happens, is there that much of an advantage for that to be a likely scenario? Thank you for your time. Dusky. Some notes. Question from DrCivilRightsGuy Hey guys. It's MLK weekend and I feel the Democrats sold black people a promise of prosperity and then decided to renig, ergo their situation may be worse now than before the civil rights movement. Many leaders came out of that flotsam, both MLK and Malcolm X rose above the rest. Both were very pro-gun but had different ideas on how to fight injustice. What does the cast think could have happened if the 70s went X's way instead of MLK's? What would both say about how things are now? Also, did nick just drop an n-bomb and then call those two heroes “sambos”? DrCivilRightsGuy Question from Anonymous Coward from Michigan With NFA stamps costing $0, I'm about to SBR a metric ton of lowers and would like to do my own NFA engraving. Anyone have experience with laser engravers and if so, any recommendation? Question from LagDemon from LagDemon if you had a mp5k/ clone and it had a 3 lug barrel and threads would you get a 3 lug mount or some kind of mount for the threaded? Question from Anonymous Coward from WA Cat Facts # 171 said Shawn likes going both ways with cats but wont have a threesome. I find this odd and wanna know why he doesn't have the courage to go all the way. We all know he has the balls but thats a whole nother story.

What happens when AI agents can delete your inbox… reboot your servers… or escalate to nuclear war in a simulation?We've officially crossed into a new phase of AI and it's not theoretical anymore. Agents are operating independently for longer periods, integrating into enterprise tech stacks, replacing knowledge work, and triggering very real economic and geopolitical consequences.If you're a business leader, this is no longer “interesting tech news.”It's strategy. Risk. Talent. Capital allocation. And survival.In this episode, we break down the explosive acceleration of AI agents — from Claude's new remote control and scheduled workflows to research showing escalating autonomous behavior — and what it means for your organization, workforce, and competitive edge.The bottom line?Productivity is skyrocketing. So is systemic risk. Leaders who experiment now will lead. Leaders who hesitate may not get the chance.In this session, you'll discover:Anthropic's new Claude Cowork plugin marketplace and deep tech stack integrationsReal-world productivity gains (90% code migration reduction, 95% documentation savings)Why “professional-grade AGI” may arrive within 12–18 monthsThe rise of the “builder” era — and what happens to software engineersNew red-team research exposing severe security failures in autonomous agentsThe shocking case of an AI agent deleting an entire email system to complete a taskAI nuclear escalation simulations and their implications for military AI deploymentThe Pentagon vs. Anthropic standoff over AI use in surveillance and weaponsAbout Leveraging AI The Ultimate AI Course for Business People: https://multiplai.ai/ai-course/ YouTube Full Episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@Multiplai_AI/ Connect with Isar Meitis: https://www.linkedin.com/in/isarmeitis/ Join our Live Sessions, AI Hangouts and newsletter: https://services.multiplai.ai/events If you've enjoyed or benefited from some of the insights of this episode, leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform, and let us know what you learned, found helpful, or liked most about this show!

Nano Banana 2 is Google's best image model yet and it just dropped. It's cheaper, it's smarter, and it removed an Adidas logo from a banana in a tracksuit on the first try. But we have notes. The Door Brothers and Logan Paul made a 15-minute AI movie with Seedance 2.0 that looks like a direct-to-video action film…KIND OF. Meanwhile Seedance 2.0 is now live in CapCut, Anthropic is in a standoff with the Secretary of War over a $200M defense contract, and a sketchy music site called Sonato is generating perfect James Brown and Nirvana tracks from text prompts.  Using that, Kevin vibe coded a custom AI Spotify mash-up that looks like an iPod. During the show. While apologizing. Plus we built a whole new AI For Humans website from scratch with Claude Code, the stock market crashed because of an AI memo, and Deep Seek V4 might drop any minute now. Totally normal week.

We put it through its paces with annotation-based editing, slide generation, and yes, the return of the legendary horse egg experiment.Plus: Google quietly kills Gemini-3 after just a few months (good riddance?), we discuss why the model was "dead on arrival" for agentic workflows, and break down the real story behind those massive AI layoff announcements from Block and WiseTech. Spoiler: it's probably not actually about AI.We also get into the current state of the model wars (Opus 4.6 vs Codex 5.3), why smaller models like GLM-5 might be the future for enterprise agentic tasks, and Chris's wife teaching Claude to literally speak to her using Mac's text-to-speech.

BANANA REPUBLIC OR REBELLION? Today on Wake Up America, we are dissecting the "Permanent Banana Republic" where the elite trade stocks while the working class fights for the right to build a chip factory. We're breaking down the absurd "BANANA" (Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anything) NIMBYism killing the Rust Belt, the silence of Nancy Pelosi during Trump's State of the Union call for a stock ban, and the terrifying new push for "Emotional Labor" regulation. Missouri Lobbyist Camellia Peterson from Americans for Prosperity joins the show to discuss why the Nanny State wants to audit your office "vibes" and tax your smiles. Plus, we look back at the 250th Anniversary of Henry Knox's "Noble Train of Artillery" to remember what real American grit looks like.

Welcome back to your favorite comedy podcast where we tackle the big questions in life — like whether walnuts have any business inside banana bread (they do not), and whether you're legally required to tell your spouse you once hooked up with the kid you used to nanny.It's National Banana Bread Day, which somehow spirals into a full-blown nut war in the studio. Moon says no walnuts. Scott says walnuts are “fancy.” Riz says surprise walnuts are a betrayal on par with emotional infidelity. And honestly? That feels like foreshadowing.We also get into International Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day (big for the canine demographic), Play Tennis Day, Curling Is Cool Day, and whether the show is about to start an Olympic-level rivalry with The Courtney Show. Yes, there's real talk about ice time, leagues, and the possibility of Rizz and the gang humiliating themselves in front of professional curlers. STL, prepare yourselves.Then it's time for Sexy Time Fun Facts, and things get uncomfortably hilarious. A former nanny reconnects with the now-grown kid she used to watch… and one “it would be hilarious if we kissed” later, she's got a secret wedding invite and a moral dilemma. Do you tell your husband? Is omission a lie? And is “it was supposed to be funny” the worst pickup line of all time? This comedy podcast dives deep into relationship chaos, awkward wedding tension, and why sometimes it's better to not know things.But wait — there's more emotional damage.Another listener writes in about her husband cheating, confessing, and then immediately trying to fast-forward past accountability like it's a bad Netflix episode. The crew breaks down manipulation red flags, relationship reality checks, and why you don't get to cheat AND control the healing timeline. If you've ever needed pop culture commentary mixed with sarcastic humor and a dash of therapy energy, welcome home.We also spiral into hobby ultimatums — golf vs. marriage, band practice vs. quality time, deer hunting vs. basic communication — and whether smoking is a dealbreaker or just a slow-motion argument. It's daily humor, entertainment gossip-adjacent relationship drama, and classic Rizzuto Show chaos all wrapped into one perfectly toasted slice of comedy podcast goodness.Basically, if you came for banana bread and stayed for existential relationship debates… you're in the right place.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.

Go to www.LearningLeader.com The Learning Leader Show with Ryan Hawk This is brought to you by Insight Global. If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. www.InsightGlobal.com/LearningLeader My Guest: Jesse Cole is the owner of the Savannah Bananas. He went $1.8 million in debt, slept on an air mattress, and built a business that is now valued at over a billion dollars. I spent half a day with Jesse in Savannah watching practice, and Jesse gave me a personal tour of their entire operation. It was incredible. Notes: Fans First - The sign is on every locker. And leading out to the field, "Tonight is someone's first time seeing our show." Obsessed/Focused - Banana Ball/Serving people is his life. We didn't talk about hobbies, TV shows, or anything other than what they're doing now and in the future. He's obsessed with what he does and super focused. Transparent - Jesse just released their full P&L as a private company: revenue, expenses, player salaries, everything. Most businesses guard this religiously. He's completely transparent. I asked why, and he said, "Fans first. They deserve to know everything." Reps - We went to the field to watch practice. It looked just like a game. Players were dancing all the time. And every single rep they practiced as a trick play (behind the back, through the legs, etc.). They never play normal baseball. You wonder how they are so good on gameday at doing a backflip while catching a fly ball. Because they practice it thousands of times without fans so that when they're there, they put on a great show. Hiring – "Love your people more than you love your customer." 12,000 people on the waitlist to work for the Bananas. When you hire, have them do a "fans first" essay. Then they write a future essay.  Always Be Caring, Different, Enthusiastic, Fun, Growing, & Hungry Fans First: The Counter-Intuitive Decision - Jesse sacrificed $6 million in ticket revenue after a system messed things up for fans.  Merch – 787,000 fans purchased merchandise in 2025, totaling 1.96 million total items. That means the average person is purchasing ~2.5 items at checkout, with 80% of total sales taking place in person. 621,000 at live shows versus 166,000 online. It's a $50m business! TV: The Distribution Strategy - Giving Away Value - Jesse insisted on free YouTube streaming even when ESPN wanted exclusivity. Jesse is building a zero-profit secondary ticket market. He's literally giving away things other sports properties would monetize. So, even with all of the team's games still airing for free on YouTube, the Bananas averaged 500,000 viewers on ESPN, The CW, and Roku. The team's most-watched broadcast was a July 4th game at Fenway Park, which averaged 837,000 viewers on ESPN, making it the holiday weekend's most-watched primetime sports broadcast. TV networks want exclusivity, but you demand that the games still be broadcast for free on YouTube (in addition to whatever channel they are on) Social Media - The Bananas added 12.7 million new social media followers in 2025 alone. That pushes their total social media following across all channels north of 35 million... Roughly 2x more followers than MLB's most popular team, the Yankees, at 18 million. You have to believe something before you achieve something. Six years ago, Jesse said, "We're gonna sell out Fenway Park," and his team looked at him like he was crazy (they were a college summer baseball team, not even doing tours yet). You have to get through the messy to get to the great. Their first world tour was brutal: the sound was terrible, the show wasn't great, the game finished in the seventh inning because they didn't have a rule to make it go nine innings. See what's best for the guest, not what's best for the business. Walt Disney was the first to go into full-length animation, color, sound, and with Disneyland, he focused on one entrance to control the experience, custom rides, and invested in a castle and landscaping, which made no money. Go where others won't go. Sam Walton went to small towns, and no one paid attention to him for the first five to ten years. It's somebody's first time every night. Fans wait three years on a waitlist to come to a game, so Jesse doesn't care if you're having a bad day. That's their first time. Control the entire experience. Walt learned he couldn't control the experience when people watched his movies at a theater (it could be dirty, and people might not be nice), so he built Disneyland. Who do we work for? Fans. Jesse opened the books completely (numbers, player salary, merch sales, everything) because they have a responsibility and accountability to their fans. We have to feel our mistakes. When they sent a wrong email to 44,000 fans instead of 4,000, it cost them $6 million to take care of those fans with tickets (more than the company brought in their first five years). We need to have bigger failures. If we're not trying things big enough, we won't have bigger failures and mistakes that cost us a lot more in the future. Turn mistakes into moments. After the $6 million email mistake, Jesse set up a Zoom call with all 44,000 people, had everyone turn their cameras on, and apologized while looking at every single person. Build something you wish existed for yourself. Jesse played baseball until he couldn't anymore. He put so much pressure on himself that it wasn't fun anymore, and he was told he wasn't good enough. Design every second of the first-day experience. When players showed up, they went to a parking lot with a DJ at 8:30 AM. Three buses arrived with balloons, hundreds of people lined the streets cheering, Man-nanas served munchkins on silver platters, a custom hype video played, the host introduced from the roof, and fireworks went off. Every player has been told they're not good enough. All Bananas players have been drafted or been top college players, and at some point, they've all been rejected, cut, told to hang it up. Obsession is awesome. If you can find something you're obsessed with, so few people in the world get to have that. Watch the best of the best obsess over details. Derek Hough (one of the greatest dancers) wasn't just focusing on the dance; he was producing while dancing, telling the camera crew exactly where to come, when to hit him, and where he would wink. No one goes home excited about normal. No one says, "That restaurant was really normal, the waiter served it the same way, the food was pretty normal, the parking lot was normal." Whatever's normal, do the exact opposite. Normal gets normal results. There's a lot of normal in the world, but not a lot of extraordinary. Put yourself in the customer's shoes and eliminate friction. Where's the game tonight? On Amazon, Peacock, CBS, NBC? Jesse threw away millions to keep all games free on YouTube because that's a friction point. Your fans will reward you. The Bananas sold over 1.9 million merch items last year because they built something people are proud of and want to wear. If people don't want to wear your merch, you haven't made them feel something yet. One fan gets a new Bananas tattoo every year (he's got six logos on his leg now). Invest everything in the experience, spend zero on traditional marketing. Make the experience so good that fans will share with everyone that this is something they haven't experienced before. Social media growth came from trying and stumbling into learning. In 2016, an intern said he could create videos; they did a lip sync to "Can't Stop the Feeling" by Justin Timberlake. It wasn't even well-produced, but they tried. Give energy back because of how good it feels. A woman came up to Jesse on a cruise and said she was there because he gave her a hug at a Sacramento game the day after her sister died. She came on the cruise to give him a hug back. Do what gives you energy. Jesse's entire day is filled with things that give him energy: being with people, rehearsing shows, banana ball youth meetings, broadcast team, and talented writers. Have people who love to execute. You do what gives you energy and have them execute at a high level. Be very involved at the beginning (get the idea and vision right) and at the end (make adjustments).
