In this special episode of The Everyday Ironman Podcast, Mike is off enjoying some well-earned vacation time—which means Ashley and Broccoli Rob are left to hold down the fort. But instead of keeping things business as usual, they turn the episode into a full-blown Comedy Central Roast. Fan favorite guests return to "audition" for Mike's seat, but let's be honest… it's mostly an opportunity to take some passive-aggressive (and wildly accurate) shots at the man himself. From his questionable grasp on geography to his love of CROCS and his collection of overused catchphrases, nothing is off limits. And while everyone has their moment behind the mic, one thing becomes abundantly clear: no one can truly replace Mike. This light-hearted, laugh-out-loud episode is a must-listen for longtime fans of the show—and a reminder that behind every Ironman is a triathlete with quirks worth celebrating.Fit, Healthy & Happy Podcast Welcome to the Fit, Healthy and Happy Podcast hosted by Josh and Kyle from Colossus...Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify

In this week's episode, Trump delays the TikTok ban for the third time—because procrastination is the new policy—and Twitter's old sign finds new purpose as desert firewood. Tesla continues its streak of “hold my beer” engineering by blowing past a school bus in FSD tests, then mysteriously dumps Cybertrucks in Jersey parking lots while prepping a July 4th factory nap. Meanwhile, Elon's xAI is incinerating a billion bucks a month and allegedly poisoning Memphis, OpenAI and Microsoft are beefing over who's the bigger megalomaniac, and Sam Altman thinks your power bill should fund his robot overlords.In other signs of the apocalypse: Amazon is gleefully replacing workers with AI, Microsoft finally admits it might've wasted billions chasing Skynet, and Wikipedia's editors say no thanks to dumbed-down AI summaries. Studies warn ChatGPT may be turning your brain into smooth pudding, while swearing data reveals the internet prefers the F-word with regional flair. A broke crypto TikToker gets released because he's too poor to ransom, and bankruptcies spike across the Bay as tech jobs vanish like investor confidence.Media Candy brings a buffet from Inside Out to Murderbot to Stick, and Liam Neeson somehow makes the Naked Gun reboot look awesome; Apple tunes CarPlay to fit your weird dashboard, Trump sells a gold Android that's tackier than his ties, and Dave goes full retro with Open EMU 2 and FPGA gaming; plus: Dr. Demento retires, Disneyland hits your screen, and we swear this isn't all a fever dream.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Head over to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use the code "GOG" for 20% off.Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

My guest today is Sid Malladi, founder of Novo. Behind every product, from wine to lumber to steel, is a complex web of B2B relationships, built slowly, at high cost, and constrained by risk. Novo aims to change that by building a digital network that accelerates onboarding, visibility, and trust. In this conversation, Sid takes us through that journey. We discuss the frictions that define B2B trade, the cold-start challenge of building a network from scratch, and how Novo approaches trust like a FICO score for businesses. We also explore the broader macro forces shaping supply chains today, from tariffs to AI, and why the most resilient companies are those creating deeper, more flexible webs of trade relationships.

In this episode of The Everyday Ironman Podcast, we chat with adventure writer Will McGough, author of Swim, Bike, Bonk: Confessions of a Reluctant Triathlete. Will shares the story behind his unlikely path to the Ironman Arizona start line in 2017—after signing up with no bike, minimal run experience, and only three months to train. His journey, documented in his book offers a humorous and honest perspective on taking the leap into endurance sport with zero expectations—and a lot of heart.Fit, Healthy & Happy Podcast Welcome to the Fit, Healthy and Happy Podcast hosted by Josh and Kyle from Colossus...Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify

Director Fumeto Ueda has been hailed by many as somewhat of an auteur of the gaming landscape. A creative whose style embraces minimalist desolation. Known best for his work on Shadow of the Colossus, Ueda's directorial debut took place in 2001 with Ico, a boy-meets-girl action-adventure released for the PlayStation 2. Born with horns in a small village, Ico was seen as a great misfortune and was locked away in an eerie castle across the sea. Just as Ico settled in to his stony tomb, an earthquake strikes, freeing him and beginning the long journey to freedom. Along the way Ico meets Yorda, the daughter of the evil shadowy queen who rules over the land and the two work together to escape. While the premise was simple the game was considered by many to be a success, and has been cited by many prominent directors as an influence in their games. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Uncharted, Dark Souls, The Legend of Zelda, Metal Gear Solid 3, you name it, Ico as certainly left its mark on the world. But is it still fun to play today?On this episode, we discuss:Puzzle Solving.Ico often presents the player with simple diagetic puzzles that make use of the environment.Unlike many other games, it makes almost no attempt to guide the player.Is this too harsh, or is the lack of handholding refreshing in the moden era?Combat.Despite its claim to fame, Ico's combat has very little going for it.What exactly makes it so unsatisfying and could it be improved?Yorda.An enscort quest that lasts an entire game would surely raise eyebrows if released today.Did the team at Sony Computer Entertainment manage to bring Yorda to life?Or is she simply a frustrating Key for the player to drag about the gameworld? We answer these questions and many more on the 131st episode of the Retro Spectives Podcast!--Intro Music: KieLoBot - Tanzen KOutro Music: Rockit Maxx - One point to anotherIco OST: Michiru Oshima--Is Ico worth playing in the year 2025 and beyond?

Right off the top, I need to mention our guest today, Sean Barrett, who couldn't have been more perfect for this breakdown. Sean has been investing in the Alts since Blackstone christened this asset class just over a decade ago. Sean is the founder of Counter Global, and alt investing is ingrained in its DNA. We cover the massive, yet lesser-known EQT, the Wallenberg family ties, and how this business has continued to generate returns at scale. Beyond the EQT conversation, you are going to get a masterclass on Alts investing.

Send us a textThe summer sun beckons with its warm embrace, but that golden tan comes with a hidden cost. Dr. Holly Thacker dives deep into the phenomenon known as "tanorexia" – the addiction to tanning that has serious health implications many don't recognize until it's too late.This addiction isn't merely psychological. When your skin is exposed to ultraviolet radiation, your body releases endorphins – those feel-good neurochemicals that create a genuine physical dependency. "People can actually get addicted to this," Dr. Thacker explains, drawing parallels between tanorexia and other recognized addictive behaviors.Whether you're concerned about your own tanning habits or protecting children's delicate skin, this episode delivers practical, science-backed advice for maintaining healthy skin while still enjoying outdoor activities. Because as Dr. Thacker reminds us, all natural complexions are beautiful – it's about being "happy in your own skin" while keeping that skin healthy for years to come.Fit, Healthy & Happy Podcast Welcome to the Fit, Healthy and Happy Podcast hosted by Josh and Kyle from Colossus...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show

I didn't rewatch Deadpool for this one… and I didn't need to. This movie lives rent-free in my head, and today I'm diving back into it—off memory, heart, and instinct. From the Colossus morality clash to the genius Valentine's Day rom-com marketing, this is a full-on celebration of what made Deadpool iconic. Is it chaotic? Yes. Is it honest? Always. Join me as I reflect on the merc with a mouth, the love that grounded him, and how this film paved the way for the multiverse madness we're heading toward.

Love the episode? Send us a text!In this episode of Breast Cancer Conversations, I had the privilege of speaking with Bob Furniss, a father, husband, and author who has turned his family's heartbreaking experience with breast cancer into a mission to educate and advocate for early detection. Bob and his wife Susan founded the nonprofit WarriorPrincess.org in honor of their late daughter, Keisha Furniss, who was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer at the age of 30.Bob shared the emotional journey of Keisha's diagnosis, treatment, and the impact it had on their family. He recounted how Keisha's initial symptoms were misdiagnosed and how the eventual discovery of her cancer came as a shock. Despite the devastating news, Keisha faced her illness with incredible strength and resilience, earning the nickname "Warrior Princess."This episode is a poignant reminder of the impact of breast cancer on families and the power of turning grief into purposeful action. I hope you find inspiration in Bob's story and are encouraged to have those crucial conversations about breast health with their loved ones.SURVIVINGBREASTCANCER.ORGAttend a free virtual SurvivingBreastCancer.org program (support groups, yoga, medication, expressive writing, art expression, and more!):https://www.survivingbreastcancer.org/eventsFollow us on InstagramSurvivingBreastCancer.org: https://www.survivingbreastcancer.org/Breast Cancer Conversations: https://www.instagram.com/breastcancerconversations/About SurvivingBreastCancer.org: SurvivingBreastCancer.org, Inc.

 Our teacher today is Will Thorndike, co-founder of Compounding Labs and author of the acclaimed book, “The Outsiders.” In our opinion, Will has emerged as one of the most influential and innovative investor minds of the past few decades. And if you care about long-term value creation and the art of capital allocation, chances are you've also benefited from some of his ideas.  In 1994, he founded Housatonic Partners, a pioneering private equity firm known for its unusually long holding periods and its leadership in the search fund space alongside his mentor and Stanford professor Irv Grousbeck. Will helped to originate the modern search fund model, backing early career CEOs to buy and grow businesses with long-term horizons and radically aligned incentives. Since then, he has invested in the majority of the top 20 search fund outcomes to date, including Asurion, which he recently profiled on his podcast 50X.  We explore Will's full arc from the research that led to “The Outsiders” to his decades as an investor to the new frontier he's now helping to shape. We talk about what makes a business truly enduring, why great leadership and resource allocation remain so misunderstood, and how the right people, structure, and alignment enable companies to compound over time. Please enjoy this class with Will Thorndike.

This is Zack Fuss. Today, we're tackling a giant in a controversial and incredibly complex industry, UnitedHealth Group. At its recent apex, UNH was a half-trillion-dollar market cap business, the 15th largest listed business in the United States. Today, that market cap sits at just $275 billion. The company generates an excess of $400 billion in sales annually and produces $40 billion in EBITDA as it touches every facet of the American healthcare system. To break down UnitedHealthcare, I'm joined by Stephanie Niven, a co-PM of the Global Sustainable Equity Strategy within the Sustainable Equity Team at Ninety One. Stephanie has been following the company since 2012 and she helps us to unravel this intricate business. We explore how UnitedHealthcare operates as a fully integrated healthcare system from its insurance arm to its high-margin health services business. We also dive into the concept of value-based care, the recent headwinds from Medicare Advantage scrutiny, and whether the market is mispricing this complex giant amidst regulatory noise and leadership changes. Please enjoy this breakdown of UnitedHealth Group. ⁠⁠Subscribe⁠⁠ to Colossus Review For the full show notes, transcript, and links to the best content to learn more, check out the episode page⁠ ⁠here⁠⁠. —- This episode is brought to you by Octus, formerly Reorg, is the essential credit intelligence and data provider for nearly 40,000 professionals across the world's leading buy side firms, investment banks, law firms and advisory firms.
