Just a low stakes way to build relationships with GCs before bidding a single demo job.On this week's Bricks, Bucks & Bytes, we asked him:→ Why he stays away from structural demo (for now)→ How low overhead wins bids without change order games→ Why he'd rather face a third and long blitz than a late paying GCFull episode on YouTube and Spotify. #bricksandbytes #bricksbucksandbytes #construction #constructiontech #aecChapters00:00 Intro00:36 NFL Construction Trivia03:25 NFL Players Who Own Construction Companies06:12 The Biggest NFL Stadiums Ever Built09:05 SoFi Stadium Construction Cost: $2.6B to $5.5B11:57 Jake Browning Joins the Show13:17 Playing QB for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers15:11 Why an NFL Player Started a Demolition Company17:34 Starting a Business With One $30,000 Truck22:11 How Athletes Should Invest Their Money27:21 NFL Lessons for Running a Business30:12 Finding Your Competitive Advantage37:14 How to Bid Demolition Jobs42:19 Leadership Lessons From the NFL42:48 Why Athletes Struggle to Monetize Their Brand44:14 How to Win Work With General Contractors45:28 Why Being Normal Wins in Construction47:17 The Best NFL Stadiums to Play In49:19 The Scariest Player in the NFL51:32 Inside Sutter Street Demolition55:26 Growing a Demolition Business the Right Way

"If you were saying, I'm adding AI to the product or we're now agentic, we now have an agentic AI component, it's not really news."Katie Zeppieri said the quiet part out loud.We invited the Founder and CEO of The MicDrop Agency onto Bricks & Bytes to demystify PR for construction tech. Her agency worked with Document Crunch from its early days through to the Trimble acquisition, so she has seen exactly what earns coverage and what gets deleted from a journalist's inbox.A few things that stuck with us:Events are still the number one marketing channel in construction, but only if you do the work before you land at the venue.Muck Rack's research found that the overwhelming majority of AI citations come from earned media.

In the Mackenzie Shirilla case, the Ohio Supreme Court denied jurisdiction over an "untimely" appeal filed during a leap year, prompting a new motion for reconsideration based on a potential split of legal authority. Additionally, the federal court has significantly limited a previously "horrific" temporary restraining order against Reckless Ben, while simultaneously requesting clarification on the LLC's members to confirm diversity jurisdiction. Finally, an extension was granted in the TikTok psychic $10 million defamation appeal, with her opening brief now due at the end of July.

"Real AI is way more about how you do change management than picking the right technology."That is Dr. Sarah Buchner, founder and CEO of Trunk Tools, on this week's Bricks, Bucks & Bytes.A year on from her $40M Series B, she joined the roundtable to explain why the hardest part of construction AI is not the model. It is getting people to trust it.✅ Why Trunk Tools will not sell you agents unless you let them train your team first✅ The shift from point solution to a "system of action" that sits on top of Procore and Autodesk✅ Why a new AI takeoff startup seems to launch every week, and why most break on the last 20%✅ Her blunt line on vibe coded tools: "Don't come on the market with something that Claude can already do."Plus: a structural engineer breaks down the Midtown column buckling, and SubBase's Eric Helitzer on why a fintech led his $7M Series A.

You can vibe code software in a weekend. You can't vibe code a decade of safety data.That was the throughline with Ben Leach and Andrew Barron of HammerTech.

Common Swifts in Europe nest in eaves and under roof tiles and gables. But modern construction doesn't have these nooks and crannies, and populations of swifts have been declining. However, there's a solution called the “swift brick,” a small nesting box that fits right into the wall of a house or office building. More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote?

First, he previews a packed rundown before digging into the night’s lead story, a consignment deal gone very wrong. From there, the episode runs through gaming, sports, artificial intelligence, and space. Finally, Chris closes with personal updates on recent travel, a new camera, and a media business he is building. The $200,000 Star Wars LEGO Consignment War Chris leads with a sentence he never expected to say on the show. A dispute over a box of Star Wars LEGO has produced a racketeering lawsuit, multiple arrests, and a public statement from the CEO of Patreon. Bryan Mansell and his 83-year-old father, Ed, spent years assembling roughly 780 sealed sets, valued near $200,000. Back in 2023, they consigned the collection to the Keizer, Oregon branch of the franchise chain Bricks and Minifigs, splitting sales 65/35. However, the store changed hands in late 2024, and the new operators allegedly stopped paying and refused to return the unsold sets. From there it escalated fast. Stunt YouTuber Benjamin Schneider, known as “Reckless Ben,” took up the cause and split the claim into about ten small-claims cases, winning default judgments when the store skipped court. Meanwhile, his GoFundMe pushed past $600,000 and his videos drew millions of views. The company fired back with a Utah RICO suit naming Schneider, Mansell, and others, and Schneider was arrested on charges including stalking and trespass. Notably, Patreon CEO Jack Conte refused the company’s demand to pull Schneider’s page, telling Bricks and Minifigs they could “stuff it.” Eventually, the corporate franchisor parted ways with the store owners, cited gross negligence, and invited Mansell to settle. Chris’s own take: had the store simply returned the collection, none of this would have happened, and the owner “kind of deserved” the heat.

Summer Game Fest 2026 Unloads a Stacked Lineup Next, Chris turns to Summer Game Fest, which Geoff Keighley hosted June 5 from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. Capcom opened with a remake of the 2000 cult classic, now titled Resident Evil Veronica, bringing Claire Redfield back for a 2027 launch. Square Enix then closed the night with Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, the remake trilogy’s finale, also targeting 2027. Other reveals included a new Spyro the Dragon, the console debut of Guild Wars 3, and a 2027 window for The Wolf Among Us 2. For the record, Fable and Halo Campaign Evolved appeared at the separate Xbox Games Showcase, not SGF itself. Off script, Chris riffed on the games he is most excited about. He flagged GTA 6, now expected in November at a rumored $100-plus price, alongside new Wolverine, Until Dawn, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin titles. The lineup, he admitted, has him ready to finally buy a PlayStation 5. A World Record Falls at the First Enhanced Games The first Enhanced Games ran May 24 in Las Vegas, openly allowing performance-enhancing drugs and skipping anti-doping tests. Greek swimmer Kristian Gkolomeev swam the 50-meter freestyle in 20.81 seconds, beating the official record and pocketing a $1 million bonus. However, he wore a polyurethane supersuit banned since 2010, so the suit arguably mattered as much as any chemistry. Interestingly, several athletes who said they raced clean still won, including sprinter Fred Kerley and swimmer Hunter Armstrong. Predictably, WADA, World Aquatics, World Athletics, and the IOC all condemned the event and will not recognize the results. Chris, for his part, found the whole spectacle more fun than alarming. An AI Collar Claims It Can Translate Your Dog A startup called PettiChat is selling an AI collar that claims to translate barks and meows in real time at 94.6 percent accuracy. To be fair, it is no obvious scam, with real funding, a working app, and coverage from Forbes and Vice. Still, no peer-reviewed research or independent lab backs that number. Reviewers called the demo footage “undeniably staged,” and the best real science reads broad emotion, not full sentences. Chris agreed from experience, noting that any longtime dog owner already reads their pet’s body language well enough. Microsoft Builds Its Own AI Coding Models At its Build conference in early June, Microsoft unveiled MAI-Code-1-Flash, its first homegrown coding model. The tool turns plain-English prompts into source code and plugs into GitHub Copilot and Visual Studio Code. Additionally, Microsoft previewed a reasoning model, MAI-Thinking-1, on its Foundry platform. The strategy is clear: Microsoft remains OpenAI’s biggest backer, yet it wants to depend on OpenAI less and cut developer costs. The timing is loud, too, since Anthropic just filed confidentially for an IPO and OpenAI is reportedly readying its own. AI Leaders Ask Congress to Screen Synthetic DNA On a more sobering note, the CEOs of OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind, and Microsoft AI signed a joint letter to Congress. Together, they want mandatory screening at the companies that synthesize custom DNA to order. Their argument is blunt: powerful AI is eroding the expertise that once limited who could engineer a biological weapon. Therefore, they urge identity verification, sequence screening, and recordkeeping written into federal law this session. As Chris put it, when the people building the technology sound this worried, it is worth paying attention. Blue Origin’s New Glenn Explodes on the Test Stand Finally, Chris closes the headlines in space. Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket erupted in a fireball during a static-fire test at Cape Canaveral on May 28. Fortunately, nobody was hurt and no satellites were aboard, though the first stage and some ground equipment were destroyed. That booster was set to launch Amazon’s first big batch of Leo internet satellites, the constellation formerly known as Project Kuiper. Afterward, CEO Dave Limp vowed to fly again this year, while NASA’s Jared Isaacman pushed to move Blue Origin’s lunar lander onto a backup rocket. Meanwhile, SpaceX flew its next-generation Starship Version 3 for the first time on May 22. Chris’s Travels, a New Camera, and a Media Venture To wrap up, Chris shares what he has been up to away from the mic. First, he recaps a hot, sickness-plagued trip to Disneyland in California, then a far better visit to Portland to see Ray. Proudly, he congratulates his brother on graduating and predicts their dad would be proud too. He also gushes about his new Nikon ZR camera, built on RED technology, which he says rivals a Sony FX3 at half the price. Beyond that, he is building a media business with a friend, taking free shoots to network while leaning on directing as his strength. You can find his work on Instagram at @dis.chris. Chris signs off with the usual ecosystem mentions: GNC Insider at geeknewscentral.com/insider, email at geeknews@gmail.com, the show newsletter, and modern podcast apps at podcastapps.com. He also thanks GoDaddy for over twenty years of support and teases a return to a more regular release schedule.

L'histoire qui a passionné tout l'Internet en 2026! En 2023, Bryan Mansell confie une immense collection de 780 sets Lego Star Wars appartenant à son père de 83 ans, présentée comme valant environ 200 000 $, à une boutique Bricks & Minifigs pour la vendre en consignation. Quand la boutique change de propriétaire, la collection n'est jamais restituée. Personne ne semble savoir où est la collection de LEGO... L'affaire devient virale quand le YouTuber Reckless Ben publie une enquête sur “le vol de 200 000 $ de Lego Star Wars”, accusant le magasin et montrant la détresse du père de 83 ans qui comptait sur cette collection pour ses frais médicaux. Par la suite, Bricks & Minifigs et des associés engagent une action en justice lourde (plus d'un million de dollars réclamés) contre Mansell et Reckless Ben, tout en niant avoir encore la majeure partie de la collection, ce qui renforce la perception publique d'un abus. Le YouTuber Coffeezilla s'en mêle et démontre dans sa propre enquête que des problèmes de gestion ont sans doute mené à de drôles de transferts de stock... Alors que Bricks & Minifigs subissent une crise de relation publique, une question demeure: où sont les LEGO Star Wars de Bryan Mansell?Aussi!

Ever notice how people show up loudest after you've already won? This episode digs into why founders often get the least support when the risk is highest—and the most opinions once success is “de-risked.” Will shares early moments of having virtually no safety net (including starting with $19, dropping out, and getting doubted), contrasted with the few timely “bricks” that actually changed his trajectory—like a risky $10K loan and a friend's family offering a place to stay for the holidays. They unpack how funding wins, press, and exits attract late-arriving fans, opportunists, and advice that can derail post-success decisions, and why founders should take inventory of who truly showed up when things looked impossible—and be that kind of support for other founders.00:39 Elon Money Opinions02:55 Guidance Counselor Doubt04:13 Early Support Matters05:44 Nineteen Dollars Start06:53 Ten Thousand Loan09:55 Wide Angle Victory10:38 Doubt Chokes Founders11:38 Young Founder Respect14:59 I Told You So Bias18:49 Funding Round Whiplash20:20 Recruiters Disappear21:30 Success Rewrites History23:03 Sam Altman Backlash25:40 Founders After Success28:32 Timing Is Support32:00 Must Be Nice Myth35:56 Bricks in FoundationResources:Startup Therapy Podcasthttps://www.startups.com/community/startup-therapyWebsitehttps://www.startups.com/beginLinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/startups-co/Join our Network of Top FoundersWil Schroterhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/wilschroter/Ryan Rutanhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-rutan/

In this week's story time, Summer tells the story of the ancient mystics that chose to brick themselves in cells, until death do they part from their bricks. The most famous anchoress, Julian of Norwich, is widely considered the first published female author in the English language. She may also have been the first feminist cat lady. Tune in! The post Medieval Mystics Behind Bricks appeared first on Sheologians.

Send us Fan MailA kitten can look “a little off” on Sunday and be fighting for his life by Monday morning, and that reality changes how you read the science headlines. We breakdown Brix's terrifying ICU stay, what we learned from the veterinary team, and why we're still watching his recovery like a hawk.First, we dig into a genuinely spooky health threat: Sporothrix brasiliensis, a cat-associated fungal disease that can spread to humans and other animals. We talk through what symptoms can look like, why experts are concerned about the fungus moving north, and how transmission differs from the usual “inhaled spores” narrative. We also cover the practical risk points for shelters, vet clinics, and rescue groups, including how long it can survive on surfaces and what disinfectants are effective when cleaning is done right.Then we shift to FIP, feline infectious peritonitis, the diagnosis Bricks most likely has, even though his case is atypical. We explain how common feline coronavirus is, why cats don't “catch FIP” directly from each other, and why wet FIP and dry FIP can look so different. Most importantly, we talk about the modern turning point: antiviral treatment like GS-441524, what monitoring looks like during recovery, and why starting early can move survival odds dramatically.If you care about cat health, emerging zoonotic disease, and the newest breakthroughs in veterinary medicine, hit play, share this with a cat parent who needs it, and subscribe, rate, and review so more people can find the show.Support the showFor Science, Empathy, and Cuteness!Being Kind is a Superpower.All our social links are here!

In this episode, Travis and producer Eric dive into one of the wildest business stories on the internet: the alleged theft of a massive LEGO Star Wars collection worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and the corporate, legal, and law enforcement drama that followed. Using a viral YouTube investigation as a jumping-off point, they explore business ethics, franchise risks, legal power imbalances, and what happens when ordinary people find themselves up against organizations with deeper pockets and more influence. On this episode we talk about: The viral LEGO Star Wars collection controversy involving Bricks & Minifigs How franchise businesses can create unexpected risks for owners and customers The power of independent creators and investigative YouTubers in holding organizations accountable Why legal battles often favor whoever has the most resources The broader lessons about ownership, contracts, and protecting valuable assets Top 3 Takeaways Having a contract isn't always enough—enforcing your rights can become expensive and time-consuming when larger organizations are involved. Reputation can be one of a company's most valuable assets, and public trust can disappear quickly when customers believe they've been treated unfairly. Independent creators and online communities can sometimes shine a spotlight on stories that would otherwise go unnoticed. Notable Quotes "The person with the most amount of money and the most contacts wins." "It feels like the opposite of justice." "I'm so glad there's people going to YouTube and holding people accountable."

This week the stories all share the same fingerprint: people who think the rules don't apply to them. Crisis-communications expert Molly McPherson breaks down why the Mike Vrabel–Dianna Russini saga still has legs months later (hint: it's not the affair — it's the contempt), how the New York Times investigation exposed a reporter who called the paper's own CEO to kill a story, and why the American Diabetes Association's apology is the rare crisis that actually got *better*. Plus: a Lego-store meltdown that proves no community is too niche to become a crisis, and why Buster Posey's "I'll only answer baseball questions" was a fumble on a fumble. One throughline ties it all together — no comment is always a comment.

WBS: Just Another Day #367 -- The gang is at it again. Brimstone is joined by his wing-man Alex DaPonte and his wife Danielle as they chat about the Local Scoop ice cream shop in Alabama, an update on Bricks and Mini-Figs, and the guy who found a dead body on Google Satellite that had been missing over 20 years. They chat about the World Cup tourists going nuts over Ranch Dressing, how TSA has been leaning into it, and riders who needed to be saved from a local ride. They discuss Stan Lee Presents premiere, San Diego Comic Con, and the food reviewer gets into a fight with a couple in the restaurant. Brim explains what gets Within Brim's Skin.

House of the Dragon Season 3 finally lands, and the Battle of the Gullet gives the premiere one of the strongest hours the show has produced, complete with a death that reshapes the war and a 9 out of 10 score. It is a solo Father's Day episode, so Frank carries the news himself before settling into a full spoiler breakdown of the Targaryen civil war. Along the way Frank reacts to the first full Shrek 5 trailer and the cast joining Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, and Cameron Diaz, celebrates the official greenlight of the Dungeon Crawler Carl TV show at Peacock, and unpacks EA's new in-game advertising platform coming to Madden and College Football 26. The episode also brings back a roundtable from the previous week, where Phil and Thomas help untangle the messy, fast-moving Bricks and Minifigs consignment controversy and what it says about chasing clout in a legal dispute. Timestamps and Topics 0:00 Intro and Father's Day Catch-Up 1:03 Shrek 5 Trailer Breakdown 5:18 Dungeon Crawler Carl TV Show Greenlit at Peacock 11:10 EA's New In-Game Ads Platform 16:23 Bricks and Minifigs Controversy with Phil and Thomas 36:21 House of the Dragon Season 3 Episode 1 Review 55:53 Father's Day Send-Off Key Takeaways The full Shrek 5 trailer eases a lot of the early animation backlash, introduces the next generation of characters voiced by Zendaya, Marcelo Hernandez, and Skyler Gisondo, and reunites the original trio under returning director Walt Dohrn and co-director Conrad Vernon. The Dungeon Crawler Carl series is officially greenlit at Peacock with Matt Dinniman confirming it, Seth MacFarlane executive producing through Fuzzy Door, and Chris Yost writing, plus a Princess Donut CGI test that won the creator over. EA is rolling out a proprietary in-game ad server built on the Frostbite engine to drop swappable, location-targeted brand placements across Madden, EA Sports FC, College Football 26, and NBA titles. The Bricks and Minifigs saga started as a local consignment dispute over a massive sealed Lego collection and spiraled into a national story involving Reckless Ben, Coffee Zilla, Patreon, and harassment of unrelated stores. The Battle of the Gullet leans into spectacle with two real ships built to collide and three dragons in the air, landing the death of Jace and setting Rhaenyra up to carry the blame. The premiere doubles down on its core theme of women like Rhaenyra, Alicent, and Rayna being boxed in by the men around them, earning a 9 dragon eggs out of 10 from Frank. Quotes "House of the Dragon is about smashing two gigantic CGI dragons together and seeing who survives." "I'm going to give this a solid nine dragon eggs out of ten." "You kids nowadays, you don't know the joy of a DVD menu." "I don't believe there is good, I don't believe there is evil. I believe everybody has the capacity for both." (Phil) "When everything is said in clickbait titles instead of what is actually going on, suddenly everybody is a bad guy and everybody is a good guy."

While violating a TRO makes a legal journey more difficult, some of the claims made regarding immediate jail time or automatic loss of the lawsuit for any speech are not strictly accurate under the current civil order.
