Published 9 March 2026 e543 with Andy, Michael and Michael – Stories and discussion on LEGO's new Smart Play brick, this is a human brain (cells) on Doom, orc audio for vibe coding, Liquid Death's Spotify urn for playlist immortality and a whole lot more. Michael, Michael and Andy get things rolling with Michael M's delivery of the newest innovation from LEGO, the Smart Play brick! While Michael's only had a little bit of time to play with the new brick, it is already sparking some interesting ideas. Check out the show notes below for what others are doing with it, now that the Smart Play brick is out and in the wild! And of course the audio of the podcast for some of the sounds from the brick! An article about a biocomputing success to play Doom with human brain cells, reminds the cohosts of other biocomputing examples from e504. The Ars Technica article about identifying anonymous users through LLMs likewise reminds the team of other examples for triangulating identity. After a story about using the audio from Warcraft III in vibe coding experiences “work, work”, the team takes a look at “Humanity's Last Exam”, which likely has already been handled by an enterprising AI research team. Turning next to a Norwegian PSA (that is NSFW and funny) on the slippery slope of digital products and services getting worse and worse, the team then considers a story about a partnership between Epic and Google for a new set of metaverse applications. In yet another back to the future experience, the Niantic gaming functionality may provide a roadmap to how this partnership may grow. The team wraps up with a Liquid Death promo for how you may achieve musical immortality with a custom Spotify playlist played via a bluetooth urn. What songs would be on your postmortem playlist?

What a powerful conversation. Dr. John Bukowski reminds us that reinvention doesn't require permission — it requires courage. From public health and veterinary medicine to writing psychological thrillers like Project Suicide and Checkout Time, his journey proves that it's never too late to pivot, pursue passion, and build something new. Science gave him structure. Storytelling gave him voice. And both require discipline. If this episode challenged you to rethink your own path — share it with someone who needs that reminder.

Daily Soap Opera Spoilers by Soap Dirt (GH, Y&R, B&B, and DOOL)
Click to Subscribe: https://bit.ly/Youtube-Subscribe-SoapDirt General Hospital spoilers show that Curtis Ashford, portrayed by Donnell Turner, might be facing double paternity trouble. His ex-wife, Jordan Ashford, played by Tanisha Harper, could soon drop the bombshell that she's pregnant, potentially throwing his life into chaos. Meanwhile, Curtis's other ex-wife, Portia Robinson, portrayed by Brook Kerr, has moved on with Isaiah Gannon, played by Sawandi Wilson. Jordan's looming pregnancy news could complicate Curtis's life further, especially if there's a question mark hanging over the baby's true paternity. GH spoilers have shown that in the past Jordan concealed her affair with Shawn Butler, resulting in her son TJ Ashford, and may resort to similar deceit again. If the pregnancy news is confirmed, the timeline of Jordan's relationship with Curtis could be scrutinized. Any discrepancies might suggest that the baby might not belong to Curtis but to another man from Jordan's life – Brick, played by Stephen A. Smith. If the baby is indeed Brick's, it might prompt Jordan to lie, leading to a potential paternity plot twist that echoes her past misdeeds. More General Hospital spoilers indicate that as Curtis and Jordan navigate these tumultuous waters, Portia and Isaiah are moving forward in their relationship. However, Portia doesn't seem to want Curtis back, and Jordan's paranoia about a reunion between Curtis and Portia might push her to desperate measures. And, GH spoilers hint that Jordan, who has lied just as much as Portia, has been berating her for her past deceit. With the potential of a new baby on the horizon, Jordan's past and present could collides. This episode was hosted by Belynda Gates-Turner for the #1 Soap Opera Channel, Soap Dirt.

When KC visits his good friend, Ernest, they talk about Jesus' lesson on building your life on God's Word. Building your house out of brick is the wise thing to do, like being a doer of God's Word. God said when you hear His Word and do it, you are building your life on The Rock, which is like a brick! But if you hear the Word of God and don't do it, it's like building your house on sand. “Anyone who listens to God's Word and does it is wise,” Matthew 7:24.#kids, #christiankids, #bedtimestoriesforkids, #storiesforchristiankids, #biblestoriesforkids, #biblelessonsforkids, #jesusnmeclubhouse, #buildyourlifeongodsword, #salvationthroughjesuschrist, #believeonjesus, #fishbytesforkids, #fishbytes4kids, #fishbitesforkids, #fishbites4kids, #ronandcarriewebb, #roncarriewebb

It’s the season to blame Tyra. Netflix’s new America’s Next Top Model doco has us spiraling back to 2003. It shows us the size-zero era through a 2026 lens, when Tyra Banks was breaking barriers while also showcasing some of the show's seriously batshit behaviour —from models posing as murder victims to 'makeovers' that involved pulling teeth. Now we’re in the MAFS era Clare Stephens wants to know: is every generation’s reality TV show of choice just programmed to prompt outrage? Also, today is Jessie’s last day before she goes off on maternity leave. But not before a chaotic handover to her twin, Clare. As Clare prepares to take the seat, she’s re-learning the 'rules' of being an Out Loud host. In other business, does your personality need a mini-makeover of its own? We’re talking 'micro-reinvention' — not big deals like quitting your job; more small shifts like adopting a signature condiment or finally becoming a 'Pilates person'. Holly, for instance, is wearing brown. Big deal. Huge. SUBSCRIBE here: Support independent women's media Recommendations Clare recommends the "Brick"—a physical device that locks you out of your apps to fight phone addiction. Jessie recommends L’Occitane Osmanthus Abricot shower gel or DedCool Taunt Hand and Body Wash for the ultimate vibe shift. Holly recommends Eric Dane: Famous Last Words on Netflix—a raw interview with a man who has nothing left to lose. What To Listen To Next: Listen to our latest episode: Oh Sh*t.

This week, I’m sitting down with the incredible Becs Gentry. Many of you know her as a powerhouse Peloton instructor, but she is stepping into a massive new chapter as a HOKA Global Brand Ambassador. It’s a synergy that marks her return to the trails and ultra-running—the place where she first fell in love with the running community. In this episode, Becs gets real about the logistics of being a global athlete and a mother. We dive deep into her discipline and how she manages to schedule high-stress training alongside her non-negotiables. She shares a powerful perspective on priority, noting that while she is deeply disciplined, she has learned that training isn't always the highest priority—the health and happiness of herself and her family, especially her daughter Talulah, always come first. We also discuss the lessons she’s learning in this chapter, from the importance of protecting her mental health by setting boundaries with social media to the value of reassessing goals when the passion starts to fade. Becs reminds us all that life is too short not to enjoy what we do in our spare time, and sometimes, the best thing you can do for your growth is to step away and find a new route to the top of the mountain. IN THIS EPISODE This episode is a masterclass in navigating life's major pivots with grace and a "family-first" filter. Here are the highlights and most quotable moments from your conversation with Becs Gentry: "In This Episode" Highlights The HOKA Era: Becs discusses her new role as a HOKA Global Brand Ambassador and how the brand's focus on community and versatile performance aligns with her current chapter. The Reality of Discipline: A deep dive into how Becs manages a grueling training schedule, highlighting that discipline isn't about being "perfect" every day, but about making things happen within the reality of your current life. Family as the North Star: Becs opens up about how her daughter, Tallulah, has completely reframed her "why," and why she chooses to set strict boundaries with technology to remain present. The Power of "No": She shares the vulnerable story of why she walked away from a marathon goal in June 2025 because she realized she was "climbing a slippery wall" with no passion for the project. New Representation: The transition to being represented by Always Alpha and how having a team helps her value her own worth in a "dog-eat-dog" business world. Intentional Living: From using a "Brick" to block social media apps to recording memories on a vintage camcorder, Becs shares her strategies for reclaiming her time from the "pocket computer". QUOTABLE MOMENTS "HOKA is a brand that blends performance with a very welcoming community to every type of runner... It is not just about having the fastest, flashiest, most expensive shoe on the market. It is about so much more than that." "Burnout doesn't come from overtraining or overdoing something. It comes from trying to achieve something that you have no passion for. It's like trying to climb up a slippery wall. You may get there, but you're going to be so exhausted and cut up and bruised and defeated by the time you get to the top." "Humans get a sense of having done it—this sense of achievement—when we tell somebody what we're working toward. The more and more people you tell and they give you that same response, it waters down and lessens your want to feel that thing when you've actually done it." "Everything I do as a woman in sport and business is striving to help my daughter not have to go through what our generations and all the generations before us have had to go through, which has been struggling to get ourselves heard and recognized for the goodness that we have and do."

In this episode of the Tax Rep Network Podcast, Eric Green shares a powerful lesson sparked by a conversation with former New York Giants legend Leonard Marshall. Reflecting on the iconic 1990 NFC Championship hit on Joe Montana, Eric breaks down the mindset that separates the ordinary from the elite: never quit.At LSU, Leonard was taught that “the ground is hot” — if you're down, you get up. Fast. That same mentality applies to building a tax representation practice. Success isn't built on the easy days. It's built on the dark, frustrating, stormy days when you want to quit — but don't.Eric connects this championship-level discipline to growing a million-dollar practice: keep producing content, keep speaking, keep marketing, keep grinding. It must work — if you don't stop.If you want next-level results, you need next-level persistence. Brick by brick. Play by play. No quitting.
Dr. Brick Lantz of the Christian Medical and Dental Association addresses the recent move by the UK's NHS to cancel a study on of the effects of puberty blockers on children due to ethical concerns.

Museums tell America's story. Exhibit by exhibit, they acquire, study, preserve, and interpret art and artifacts for the public, offering proof to bolster thoughtful interpretations of our national truths. But they haven't always done so freely. What can museums do when the state imposes revisionist history on them? Can curation be a form of self-censorship? Is censorship ever good? And what have museums done to protect their freedom of expression and the separation between art and state? Featured guests: Devon Akmon (Director, Michigan State University Museum and Chair of the Board, American Alliance of Museums) Ann Burroughs (President and CEO, Japanese American National Museum) Hamza Walker (Director, The Brick and Co-Curator, MONUMENTS) Hamza Walker will discuss how museums resist the erasure and revision of our history and culture, and what this means for how we document our shared past, present, and future. This program is co-presented by Zócalo Public Square, Japanese American National Museum (JANM), and The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) Visit www.zocalopublicsquare.org/ for more programs, interviews and essays.

This week, Lynn is joined by Broadway World's Jim Lindhorst. They speak with actress Christina Yancey and director Rayme Cornell for the Bread & Roses production of "A Brick and a Bible," a fact-based original play starting this weekend at the Missouri History Museum before it travels for the next three weeks.
Lent has begun and Kelly is officially sugar-free! Dare we say, it's her new micro-hobby. The other hobby is her new Brick and today on the podcast she's breaking down exactly how it works. Meanwhile, Lizz is revealing her lent promises for this year and she's got some decluttering ideas you're going to want to steal! As a mother, how do you meet everyone's needs when you have kids of different ages? Kelly and Lizz are both experiencing this challenge and discuss how they are trying to solve it. Hopefully it will mean less kids spraypainting the house... Good news for the Car Mom - brand new car tours are coming of some of our favorite cars! More good Industry News, the Auto Start button is going away. Also, Kelly is once again asking "Where are the hybrids?"
The Coffee Club from Monday February 16th, 2026. Guests include Isaiah Nelson from Fargo Brick Co.
Röstmanipulatören J.I.D är ordvrängande, halsbrytande och tvivlande med en lika matematisk som själfull inställning till rap. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. En gåtfull förnyare som blir allt mer inflytelserik. Sverigeaktuelle J.I.D's album ”God does like ugly” tillhör 2025-års bästa. Stallkollegorna Earthgang talar i tungor ena stunden, och flyter lugnt om global uppvärmning och ett Amerika på fallrepet den andra, samtidigt som duon svävar ut ljud och stilmässigt. Ibland blir det spöklik, psykedelisk boombap, ibland Goodie Mob i traptiden. Jord och rymd. Tidlöshet och futurism.I avsnittet möter du även bland andra Leon Bridges, Brick, Ol Dirty Bastard, Hiatus Kaiyote, Trinidad James, Waka Flocka Flame, Cee Lo Green(Goodie Mob), Rico Wade(Organized Noize), Grip, D'Angelo, Lil Jon, TI, Shop Boyz och Young Jeezy.
Kelly's Brick has arrived and it's going to change her life. She's going to use it to take time to finally learn Spanish and it's all thanks to Bad Bunny! Lent starts next week, which brings another big change for Kelly as she is giving up sugar for 46 days. Did you know that lent is actually 46 days and not 40? If you're looking to change your life, Kelly has a Fast Lane Philosophy that just might get you started. Speaking of changes, Lizz is changing rapidly as she's transitioning out of regular clothes and into maternity wear. While the Halara pants haven't arrived yet, she's trying to figure out what she should have ready for some big events coming up. Are there any maternity stylists listening? Lizz could use your help! Kelly and Lizz are kicking off some advice questions with a non-car related query. What is the perfect 30th birthday gift for your sister? In the car department, there is a question looking for the perfect dad car and debating the difference between the Sienna and Odyssey. A very important debate arises before Industry News - which automaker is the most disappointing? Kelly and Lizz have a LOT to say on the topic. Then, Consumer Reports have announced their cars of the year. Did yours make the list? Finally, a listener submitted Ditch the Drive-Thru with only three ingredients and perfect for Lent.
https://teachhoops.com/ A team motto is more than just a catchy phrase on a warm-up shirt; it is the foundational "Why" that binds a group of individuals into a singular, cohesive unit. To be effective, a motto must be authentic to your specific roster and the values of your community. Avoid the "cliché trap" by involving your players in the creation process. When athletes have a hand in defining their own identity—whether it's "All-In," "Brick by Brick," or "P.T.P." (Protect The Program)—they develop a deep sense of autonomy and buy-in. A motto chosen by the players will always carry more weight in the final four minutes of a game than one chosen for them by the coaching staff. Once the motto is established, it must be integrated into the daily vocabulary of your program. It should serve as a "shorthand" for your standards. If your motto is "Grind and Grow," it should be referenced during the hardest part of a conditioning circuit or when reviewing film of a defensive breakdown. Use these words to "frame" your feedback; when a player's effort slips, don't just tell them to play harder—ask them if their current effort aligns with the motto they committed to. In the heart of the January conference schedule, the motto becomes the "Common Language" that keeps the group focused on the long-term vision rather than the immediate frustration of a tough loss. Finally, a championship-level motto is one that evolves into a lifestyle. Use your TeachHoops member calls to discuss how to "market" your motto within your community, turning it into a brand that your youth players and parents recognize and respect. A great motto should be visible everywhere: on the scoreboard, in the pre-game newsletter, and even in the way your players conduct themselves in the classroom. By the time the postseason arrives, the motto should no longer feel like a slogan—it should feel like a promise. When a team truly "owns" their words, they play with a level of conviction and mental toughness that makes them nearly impossible to break, regardless of the score.

Learn about money dealbreakers in dating, then how to plan ahead for assisted living and Medicaid costs. First, hosts Sean Pyles and Elizabeth Ayoola dig into a new dating dealbreakers study with NerdWallet spokesperson and credit card writer Sara Rathner. They unpack why “financial infidelity” can feel like a relationship ender, what people are most likely to hide, and how to start money conversations earlier without turning the third date into an audit. They also share ways to talk about spending, expectations, and values so you can spot incompatibilities before big commitments. Then, personal finance Nerd Kate Ashford (a certified senior advisor) helps answer a listener's question about caring for an aging parent and budgeting for senior living. She discusses how assisted living costs can vary dramatically by location, what's typically included in base fees vs add-ons, and how “buy-in” communities like continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs) compare with standard monthly-pay models. They also walk through key planning moves if a future nursing home stay is possible, including what to know about Medicaid being state-run, where to start researching benefits, and how to prepare for the paperwork and timelines. 0:00 Who will care for you in old age? 0:52 Dating money dealbreakers: debt and financial lies 3:33 Why couples hide purchases and spending 5:59 Rebuilding trust after financial infidelity 8:14 Dealbreakers: tipping, splitting dates, savings 13:16 Talking money early: what's a red flag? 18:02 No-spend challenge: Brick and cash-only 20:35 Friction hacks to curb impulse spending 21:49 Listener question: budgeting for senior care 23:40 Assisted living costs and what drives prices 31:02 Monthly vs buy-in CCRCs and refund rules 33:34 How long care lasts: model best/worst cases 38:00 Medicaid basics: eligibility, look-back, who can help 40:21 Final tips for families planning senior living NerdWallet Survey: One in 10 Americans Would Never Date Someone with Credit Card Debt https://www.nerdwallet.com/finance/studies/data-undateable-debt Cost of Long Term Care by State | Cost of Care Report | Carescout https://www.carescout.com/cost-of-care Eldercare Locator https://eldercare.acl.gov/home Medicaid.gov: The Official U.S. Government Site for Medicaid and CHIP Services | Medicaid https://www.medicaid.gov/ Medicaid Planning Assistance – Helping Americans obtain the Medicaid long term care they require https://www.medicaidplanningassistance.org/ Want us to review your budget?

#771 What if you could skip the struggle of starting a business from scratch — and still become your own boss? In this episode hosted by Kirsten Tyrrel, we sit down with Ryan Gasaway, a former corporate executive turned franchise consultant, who shares how franchising helped him take back control of his time, income, and lifestyle.

Whether you're curious about service-based businesses, want a lower-cost entry into entrepreneurship, or are wondering if franchising could be your path to freedom, this episode is packed with practical insights you won't want to miss!

On today's episode, host Kate Lindsay is joined by Alex Kirshner, Slate contributing writer and host of Hang Up And Listen. Back in September, Alex wrote about Brick, the plastic gadget he says “broke his phone addiction.” It seems like now more than ever, people want off their phones, and are trying everything from Brick to dumb phones to make it happen. They're also, ironically, posting all about it, which begs the question: Do we really want to get offline, or do we just want people to think we do? This podcast is produced by Daisy Rosario, Vic Whitley-Berry, and Kate Lindsay. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Get ideas for spending less in February and learn how deferment affects Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) payments. How can a month-long spending challenge reset your money habits? Should you keep paying student loans while in grad school if you're close to Public Service Loan Forgiveness and planning a move? Hosts Sean Pyles and Elizabeth Ayoola discuss no-spend experiments and “friction” strategies to help you build spending habits that stick while juggling big life changes. Joined by personal finance Nerd Amanda Barroso, they begin with a discussion of designing a February no-spend challenge, with tips and tricks on setting rules that fit your life, deciding where the saved money will go, and avoiding a binge-and-purge rebound. Then, lending Nerd Kate Wood joins Sean and Elizabeth to help answer a listener's question about how to weigh student loan payments against saving for a new home. They discuss how deferment affects qualifying PSLF payments, what to check before switching repayment plans or taking out new grad school loans, and how to prioritize cash flow when you're balancing a car payment, a mortgage, and an emergency fund.
