Bumble's New AI Matchmaker “Bumblebee” Explained

J&J get into a recent article where they mention dating has become a luxury in 2026! From $20 coffee dates to the hidden “pink tax” women pay just to get ready, maybe it really is too expensive to date these days. Then they break down Bumble's new AI matchmaker “Bumblebee,” why Jared thinks dating apps are just slot machines for lonely men, and whether AI is making modern dating even more fake. Plus, an “Icky or Picky” email about a college guy admitting he masturbates to a match's profile photo sparks a surprisingly nuanced conversation about dating expectations, sexual honesty, and learning how to date in your 20s. Later, they unpack a marriage conflict years in the making after a husband still hasn't read his wife's wedding vows, and why “testing” your partner instead of communicating never works.

The Shotgun Start
Too much Texas on PGA Tour Schedule?, Bryson's team model belief, and the "American Sports Discourse"

Andy makes his triumphant return to the pod after missing out on one of the great content bonanzas in golf history over the holiday weekend. He joins Brendan! for an "all over the place" Wednesday episode previewing yet another week of rainy Texas golf on the PGA Tour. After a brief foray into whatever the "Enhanced Games" are (and naming some favorite MLB steroid users), the two react to a Josh Carpenter report regarding the first half of the 2027 PGA Tour schedule. Not much has changed in terms of actual tournaments, but dates have shifted for events like the Arnold Palmer Invitational, the Cadillac Championship, and this podcast's beloved CJ CUP Byron Nelson. There's an element of nihilism from both Andy and Brendan as they both wonder what these changes mean, if they mean anything at all. As a proud supporter of the MAC, Brendan is fired up about Eastern Michigan Women's Golf making a Final Four run at this week's NCAA Championships. The Charles Schwab Challenge is previewed at length despite Michael Block not being in the field. One-and-done picks are made with three big names coming off the board for this #GamblingPod's selections before diving into 5 Guys to Monitor This Week. This segment is where things spiral out of control a bit, as you'll find a look at the "American Sports discourse," PJ's Knicks celebration, more rollback conspiracies, and "YouTube Golf Minute" all packed in between chatter about Kevin Kisner and Justin Thomas. Sepp Straka is NOT in Texas, but he is in homeland for this week's Austrian Open at what Brendan has heard is "a horrible golf course" that may have a Design Disaster in play! Brendan also shares an on-the-ground report that Andy Sullivan's family has been made aware of his "Bumblebee" nickname. Bryson DeChambeau and Dustin Johnson spoke to the media yet again at LIV Korea, with each making some interesting comments regarding the league's future. Lastly, some Tiger Woods news closes out this wide-ranging Wednesday episode that may require a closer look at his major championship future (across all levels of the game).

This last episode before summer has us dreaming of the beach, Slushies—watching moonlight on the waves, reading novels in the sand. But not before we share this packed episode with you. Today we welcome special guest, Daniel Kuriakose, to hear about “The Common Well,” the literary journal he's relaunching alongside K Hank Jost. Daniel sticks around for our discussion of two poems by Mara Lee Grayson.     We admire the duality on display in the first poem's back and forth-ness which has us pondering the undulation of its syntax. The late reveal of whom the lyric speaker addresses is satisfying surprise. A clever turn of phrase sends the more seasoned members of the team straight to this 90's Divinyls' song. The way enjambment revises meaning after a line break in both of these poems reminds Jason of Heather McHugh's poetry. And ultimately Kathy bring us back to the two questions we ask of every submission: do you want to stay with the poem and do you want to share it? Join us in sharing our deep thanks for two members of our staff who are with us for the final time: Reese, our co-op, and Lillie, our sound engineer. Best of luck to your both in the future. Thank you, Reese! Thank you, Lillie! Over the summer, keep tuning in for a retrospective with deep cuts from our archive. Thanks, as always, for listening!      At the table: Dagne Forrest, Tobi Kassim, Daniel Kuriakose (special guest from “A Common Well”), Reese Pfunder, Jason Schneiderman, Kathleen Volk Miller, Lisa Zerkle, Lillie Volpe (sound engineer), Derek Grebis (sound engineer)          Author Bio: Mara Lee Grayson's poetry has appeared in Poetry Northwest, Tampa Review, and Nimrod, among other literary journals, and has been nominated multiple times for the Best of the Net and Pushcart Prizes. Grayson is the author or editor of five books of nonfiction. She holds an MFA from The City College of New York and a PhD from Columbia University and was previously a tenured professor in the California State University system. Originally from Brooklyn, New York, she currently resides in New Jersey.     Social media: @maraleegrayson  Website: maragrayson.com    She Winds Her Stems through Fire for Burning Leaves Fend Off the Grief of Being Mowed On the trampoline, young boys next door              bounce while inside, their mothers   debate wine or coffee. Another weekend              when the county's on emergency alert.    For now, bees land on dogwood flowers,               robins nest in tall trees    planted by the prior owners,              and my husband's on his knees out back   for hours, pulling branches from hydrangeas              I have neither time nor thumb    to nurture back to life. He's learned a lot              in efforts to identify the colony of ants    that sent a scout across our deck, through               the side door to a cat food bowl,    like what distinguishes Bumblebee               from Carpenter (they look the same,    the bumble fuzzier). A million years               of evolution, the male bee    still hovers in one place, waiting               for a female to fly by. I fold laundry   then look up which buds bloomed               in 17th Century Versailles. (You'd guess    invasive species but, unironically,              it's narcissus and orange blossoms.)    For years, I worshipped palms               on the other side of the Continental Divide,    like I was replanted, like new soil               could change the nature of the seed.   I looked for lightning and caught language              in my mouth. I dreamed of blooms,    then woke up in the desert,               staring at a mountain, believed to be    an imprint of ancient gods whose voices               echoed off the surface of the earth.    The nervous system replicates in utero,              its fight or flight part predetermined,    part piano keys the brain may tap. Healing,              says the therapist, happens in the pendulation.   Insects bounce along the glass as children,               mothers sip merlot in coffee mugs,    and the man I married after you               tans wrist to elbow, scratching up his forearms    rending dead wood stems. It's sticky business,              caught between my lush, infertile soil and flirting    with the bees, he knows that when I think about you,               I touch my self-concept on the page.    What the Fortune Teller Tells Me on the Night I Leave California The Channel Islands will one day rise up in the distance like a resurrected poet  high on mescaline and memories of pretty women. You will or won't  learn how to tunnel through a prison  of the mind. When the wind picks up, she says  she was awoken by the rumble of a saw  told so many times it must be true.  You might as well  drive six years backward, park beside a pool  in west New Jersey.                                       I think she means  beginnings are like endings: eyelid work,  a neuron matter, not ontology or god.  To transit is to navigate the synapses,  trade one water for another,  every body's chemistry the same  except for how the furniture's arranged,  which pieces we keep secret from ourselves.  She eschews the label hypocrite,  calls herself a hippopotamus instead. Oh, she's drinking like a river now,    but can you honestly say you've never felt  a kinship for a living being who could crush you and the glass of bourbon in your hand? Maybe when you were a child, your father  chalked equations on a dusty blackboard. Your height in centimeters  is your adolescent telephone number  divided by the times your mother screamed  bringing you into this world.

Rob Lee dials in from Ukraine for a long-form WarTalk on what the front line actually looks like in year four — where infantry sit underground for six months without seeing the sun, where 2% of casualties come from small arms, and where the "forward line of troops" has been quietly replaced by a forward line of UAV teams. Rob Lee is a senior fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute and one of the most-read analysts of the Russia-Ukraine war; he's joined on the show by WarTalk regulars Bryan Clark, Tony Stark, and Justin.

Who needs a major championship when you have The CJ CUP Byron Nelson right around the corner?! Andy and Brendan are giddy for another installment of a longtime favorite event of this podcast, this time with a new twist! That's right, the Lanny Wadkins-led renovation at TPC Craig T. Nelson Ranch is ready for its much-anticipated PGA Tour debut. Andy and Brendan read through multiple articles from Dallas-area news publications detailing the behind-the-scenes work that went into this $25 million project. Did TPC Craig Ranch really need to spend all that money? It seems like that's up for debate, providing plenty of content for this Wednesday episode to chew on. Andy brings back 5 Guys to Monitor This Week (For Various Reasons) and highlights both Scottie Scheffler and a local PGA professional to tie a bow on last week's major championship. Elsewhere on the Schedule for the Week, the Champions Tour is off to Morocco. A piece of social media content has sent PJ deep down a rabbit hole with Brendan calling this PJ's "best work yet." Andy brings up "The Bumblebee" yet again as part of a look at this week's DP World Tour stop before a look at the first set of U.S. Open Final Qualifying results. Podcast favorite Matt Jordan will look to break par at Shinnecock after getting through at Walton Heath, and Caleb Surratt did Caleb Surratt things to get through in a playoff at the Dallas site. This episode also contains two different Sports Minutes, one previewing the Eastern Conference Finals between the Knicks and Cavaliers, and one focusing on the QB competition brewing in Cleveland. We will return on Friday to (hopefully) discuss the first round at Lanny's Place!

A couple of months ago our tunnel house got smacked by the wind. Young tomatoes were rescued from their spot and some of them survived in medium-sized pots. It was a matter of getting rid of that ancient, 8-meter-long tunnel house and replacing it with a new one – half the length but double the strength. The whole renovation took a few school holidays' weeks, but it looked pretty darn good. I decided to plant the few tomatoes that were still struggling in the pots and have a go in the new tunnel house. Plant them in fresh soil with Wet and Forget SeaWeed Tea as a potash-rich fertiliser. By the time they started getting into good growth again, the plants created tomato flowers with the idea of becoming tomato fruit in the future. With the tunnel house door open during the day and the odd Bumblebee inspecting the new flowers (getting nectar and pollen) the new tomatoes were getting their treatment known as “pollination”. Pollination with bumblebees is generally different from the technique of other pollinating insects. Bumbles literally vibrate the flowers in a clever and consistent matter; this allows the pollen to become dislodged and fertilise the flowers. When autumn arrived the numbers of bumblebees reduced dramatically, I needed to find an alternative assistant “pollinator”. On top of all that, the door of the tunnel house had to be closed from time to time due to rubbish weather. Did a bit of research and found that the flowers did not care a lot about sequences and electric frequencies. All you need is an electric Pollinator Wand that would vibrate and loosen the pollen within a few seconds – just move up-and-down the row. Toothbrush? Shaver? Take your pick!

Invertebrates, spiders, birds, trees, shrubs, fungi, whales, and insects, etc, do a variety of jobs that help us and all other creatures we share this Earth with. And we often forget about this! Pollination Without it, many of our plants, shrubs and trees won't be able to reproduce. A third of everything you eat has had the services of a Honeybee (or Bumblebee) involved! Others such as hoverflies, native bees (28 species!), thrips, beetles, birds, and heaps of flies love to visit the flowers – we often seem to forget about these beautiful green flies, known as dung-flies! Photo / Getty Images Dolomedes Minor – The Clever Nursery Web Spider An endemic Spider Species that occurs only in New Zealand and are very clever in many ways. In late spring, the female is starting a web site on some grassy bit mixed with fine silk, that can hold a good, large piece of silken nursery. A couple of hundred juveniles or more grow bigger every time they change their external skin. When all juveniles come to the third skin development, the female spider knows it's time to get the kids in the web site, where they can run about. This is also the time when mum chews quite visible holes into the edges of the nursery web – the juveniles know it's time to find some food outside the silken website. It's good food, and material that allows them to find some “Ballooning Silk”, which enables them to travel with the wind in all sorts of directions. Many, many kilometres without the use of petrol… Predators, Parasites, and Parasitoids In everybody's garden you'll find there are hundreds and hundreds of critters that will keep your plants, the grasses, and the gardens in perfect condition. As a Dutchman I could even use the term “in perfect condition and for FREE!” We often seem to overlook the presence of these free critters that clean the place on a regular context! Left to right: Giant Centipede, Alexander Beetle, Praying Mantis, Predator Mite Huge native centipedes are always tricky customers, especially in the northern parts of the North Island. They often hide in rotting logs and will come out when you least expect it, in the middle of the night. Yep I have been bitten by these rotters – no sense of humour! The large beetle (Alexander Beetle) is one of my favourite insects in the garden – fast moving, and easy to make themselves invisible! They'll eat anything on their soils and once they grab your skin it's not easy to get them off! But 100% Predators in your garden – they're a brilliant creature to endorse. I love the Praying Mantis in our garden; their perfect way to find a food species helps you all the time. Keep a good eye on them as their eyesight is a fabulous way to get all the critters that cause troubles. If you've never seen these tiny Predator mites, this is your chance to learn how to get them in your Modus Operandus. Honestly, once you get what you are looking for, you'll always win the game from spring right through to well into autumn. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Michelle Dickinson: nanotechnologist on the research that bees can survive underwater for days without drowning

The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin

Sometimes, the most exciting scientific discoveries don't come from carefully planned experiments, they come from accidents. A scientist was storing hibernating bumblebee queens in a refrigerator. These bees were in a deep resting state called diapause which is basically a kind of suspended animation that helps them survive winter. Condensation from the fridge dripped into the containers, leaving the bees submerged in water, by the time they were found, it was assumed they had drowned, but they hadn't which led to the question, can bees can survive underwater? The results were published in the journal Royal Society Proceedings B. Bumblebees don't have lungs, and like most insects they breathe through tiny openings in their bodies connected to tubes that deliver oxygen directly to their tissues. If those openings are blocked, for example with water, you would expect the bee to run out of oxygen pretty quickly. To figure out how they survived, the researchers placed hibernating queen bees in water and carefully measured how much carbon dioxide (CO₂) they produced. They found that the bees reduced their metabolism by more than half, producing 75 percent less CO₂ almost immediately and their metabolism continued to slow over time . But that wasn't the whole story. The researchers also found signs that the bees were partially switching to anaerobic metabolism which is a way of producing energy without oxygen (similar to what happens in your muscles during intense exercise). This process isn't ideal long-term but it can keep organisms alive in tough conditions. And there was one more clever trick. Scientists believe the bees may be using something called a “physical gill.” This is a thin layer of air that clings to the bee's body underwater, allowing oxygen to diffuse in and carbon dioxide to diffuse out. It's a bit like carrying your own tiny oxygen bubble. When removed from the water, the bees slowly woke up over several days and carried on as normal. This discovery could have real implications as bumblebee queens often hibernate underground, sometimes in areas that flood. This ability to survive underwater could be a crucial survival strategy and reminds us that insects are far more resilient than we give them credit for.

What is warm-blooded, sits on its eggs like a hen, but flies much better than a hen, and has six legs? It's the bumblebee.The amazing fact that bumblebees are warm-blooded was discovered after a scientist saw a bumblebee gathering nectar one frosty morning. As it turned out, even with air temperatures near freezing, a bumblebee can maintain a body temperature of 95 F. In order for the bee's tiny body to stay warm, it has a power output that is 20 to 30 times that of a world‑class marathon runner!Bumblebees are made up of three body sections; the head, the thorax, and the abdomen. They heat their blood in the thorax, where the flight muscles are located and where the heat is most needed. This heat is regulated by the bee's circulatory system, which flows through its narrow "waist." Blood passing through this "waist" from the cooler abdomen can be heated by the sun if necessary. It then passes through a heat exchanger in which it is further heated by the warmer blood flowing away from the muscles. On a hot day, the bee does the neatest trick of all. It actually changes its circulatory system, so that fresh blood coming to the wing muscles is not heated at all by the heat exchange system. The queen bumblebee also uses this ability to control heat to incubate her eggs at 80 degrees, like a mother hen.There is no simple form of life. What sets humans apart from other life has nothing to do with warm blood, their brains, or evolution. Humans, created in God's image, find redemption only in Jesus Christ.Genesis 1:27"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."Prayer: Dear Father in heaven, I thank You that You do not evaluate me for what I am—a sinner. Since I have forgiveness of sins through Your Son Jesus Christ, I trust Your promise that when You look at me You see His sinless life. In His Name. AmenREF.: Jordan, William.

Nuoren pariskunnan murha Bumble Bee Roadilla on vaivannut rikostutkijoita Arizonassa jo 20 vuoden ajan.

Rikospaikan läheltä löytynyt pariskunnalle kuulunut kertakäyttökamera on vain syventänyt mysteeriä - kuka otti kameralla viimeiseksi napatut kuvat ja missä osa kuvista oli oikein otettu? * Tiedäthän, että tämä kuuntelemasi jakso on podcastin aiempaa tuotantoa.

Send a textKnights, Nazis, submarines, and a three-headed robo-dragon walk into a Transformers sequel… and somehow the wildest ingredients still feel weightless. We dig into Transformers: The Last Knight to figure out why the VFX slap while the story slips, how the Arthurian hook gets buried under MacGuffins, and where the franchise lost the character charm that made the first film sing. We compare Shia's live-wire energy to Mark Wahlberg's steady center, debate Cogman's C-3PO-adjacent chaos, and explain why Anthony Hopkins turning exposition into mischief nearly steals the movie.From the medieval prologue to a London chase that forgets who's in which car, we track the editing choices that drain tension and the dialogue tics that mistake “joke density” for personality. The TRF heel turn, the Witwiccan lore tangle, and Optimus Prime's mind-controlled pivot to Nemesis Prime get a clear-eyed autopsy. We also spotlight what works: Bumblebee's mid-fight reassembly is kinetic and clever, the robot silhouettes are finally readable, and the sound design keeps even thin scenes feeling huge. When Bumblebee briefly regains his voice, you glimpse the beating heart this franchise can still find—if the script lets it.If you love franchise archaeology, blockbuster craft talk, and a fair share of roast with your reverence, you'll feel at home. We sketch the version that might have landed: fewer MacGuffins, real consequences, a focused treasure trail for Vivian's historian skills, and a talisman that pays off a character arc rather than a single slow-motion block. By the end, we answer the big question: underrated chaos or unwatchable noise?Enjoy the ride, then tell us your pick for the series' last truly good entry.

We first covered the beginnings of Transformers Generations toys with 2006's Classics line back in episode #16, but now we're back for the Takara equivalent: Henkei! Henkei! Transformers. This Japanese roster — which also spans parts of 2008's Universe line and literally translates to "Transform! Transform! Transformers" — is a jewel in the crown of mid-2000s robots in disguise.Henkei! offered surprisingly varied — and often superior — repaint choices on already beloved moulds (including some which have arguably been unfairly maligned, as we'll discuss). It's a line of creative designs, intriguing transformations, and definite ingenuity, but coupled with Takara's attention to detail when it comes to finish, it's not hard to understand why it grabbed so much attention at the time. Even if the abundance of chrome proved surprisingly divisive.We're stepping back to an era before every character received regular Generations updates every few years — a time when classic characters were brought back with real flair for doing something different, and when A-list names like Bumblebee received their first toys in years. It's not an exaggeration to say that the figures in today's spotlight set the template for Generations toys to this day, and we're here to give them their due.—Chapters0:00:00 Intro0:06:16 Sponsor Segment: Valart0:10:36 What Is Collector Burnout?0:17:53 The Acquisition Problem & Social Media Impact0:30:37 The Benefit of Creative Pursuits0:40:01 Recognising Warning Signs & Finding Balance1:02:27 Community Connection1:13:01 Sponsor Segment: TFSource1:23:38 Final Thoughts & Patron Questions—Enjoying the show?
