They also look at Universal Pictures crossing the $4 billion mark at the worldwide box office and what recent hits could mean for the parks. Then Jim digs into the remarkable Universal history of Bud Abbott and Lou Costello, from helping keep the studio afloat during World War II to the monster-filled movies that gave the comedy duo a second wind.

The CHRO's real test isn't getting a seat at the table, it's whether the CEO would make the decision without them.In this special episode, Lewis Brown, Jr. - MA and Josh Klein of From Here Collective join Rich Jennings, Executive Advisor to Comcast, to explore what it means for the CHRO to become the CEO's trusted consigliere.Using The Godfather as an intentionally provocative analogy, they unpack the skills, behaviours and experiences that make an HR leader genuinely valuable at the highest level. From business fluency and fearlessness to asking better questions, building trust across the organisation and knowing how to influence decisions without needing to dominate the room, the conversation challenges the traditional boundaries of the CHRO role.For HR leaders, the biggest question is not whether you have a seat at the table. It is whether you are inside the decision-making circle before the decision is made. The episode offers a practical way to assess whether HR is operating as a functional expert, a business partner, or the strategic adviser the CEO cannot afford to make decisions without.5 things you'll learn from this episode:The surprising reason CHROs may have more strategic access than almost any other executive, but still struggle to turn it into influenceThe characteristics that can move an HR leader from trusted functional expert to indispensable strategic adviserWhy the strongest CHROs are increasingly expected to understand far more than HR, and what that changes about the roleThe tension HR leaders must learn to hold when the CEO, the workforce and the wider business do not all want the same thingThe question that can reveal whether you are truly inside the CEO's decision-making circle, or simply being informed after the fact

This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Utah's growth depends on strong infrastructure, and Comcast is investing in that future. Over three years, Comcast has invested more than 1 billion dollars across Utah to expand broadband access and support communities. Utah Regional Senior Vice President, Jennifer Somers, joins us with more. Jennifer Somers: At Comcast, we believe connectivity is the economic infrastructure that powers opportunity. In Utah, we've invested more than 500 million dollars in network infrastructure, helping build and enhance a network that reaches more than 1.1 million homes and businesses statewide. Those investments matter because fast, reliable connectivity helps communities attract jobs, enables businesses to grow and gives residents access to the tools they need to succeed. And when it comes to supporting businesses, Comcast powers more than 2 million small businesses nationwide, more than any other provider, giving entrepreneurs and employers the connectivity they need to compete and grow. We're also focused on ensuring more Utahns can benefit from the digital economy. Through Internet Essentials, Comcast has connected more than 241,000 low-income Utah residents to affordable internet access over the past decade. We're proud to partner with communities across Utah to build the connectivity, opportunity and economic growth that will power the state's future. Derek Miller: By working alongside communities and businesses, Comcast continues to help create a more connected, innovative and prosperous future for Utah.

Today, we welcome Kerry Hurley, NorCal Weed Gal, an Emerald Triangle native and cannabis culture historian. At 16, she consciously decided to become a regular cannabis consumer to avoid the pitfalls of alcohol, drugs, or other addictions, like shopping. As a teen, Kerry noticed that every adult had a "vice" and wanted to design her life to avoid waking up at 30 and finding herself with a life-altering addiction. Kerry's parents were both civil servants and very responsible hippie cannabis consumers, so weed seemed like the safest choice. With divorced parents, Kerry is a Sonoma / Trinity hybrid. Kerry writes about her life experiences weekly on Substack, along with stories from locals and industry leaders whom she interviews, about the history of our nation's War on Weed and how it affected life in the Emerald Triangle. Kerry has a background in sales and marketing for companies like McAfee, Comcast, NBC, and Clifbar. At the 2026 Women in Cannabis Expo, Kerry was recently honored with the High Impact Award for her writing and Entrepreneurship.

Have you ever come across an enticing offer for a 100% free VPN, or a chance to earn passive income simply by sharing your unused Internet bandwidth? The moment you click “Accept,” your home Wi-Fi can be quietly transformed into a silent Residential Proxy for global threat actors. To a fraud detection system or a law enforcement subpoena, a cybercriminal operating halfway across the globe suddenly looks identical to an innocent homeowner checking email from their couch. How can network operators identify compromised home devices without violating customer privacy? And with manufacturers abandoning cheap smart hardware long after the sale, can the tech industry self-regulate, or are government security mandates now inevitable? Join us for a conversation with Jason Livingood, Vice President of Technology Policy, Product & Standards at Comcast. A long-standing industry leader who has served on the Internet Architecture Board and the FCC's Technological Advisory Council, Jason brings three decades of network architecture and tech policy expertise to unpack the defender's dilemma and the real consequences of hijacked household networks for unsuspecting consumers.

A lot can happen in a few months.

Then this summer happened. In this week's Digiday Podcast episode, hosts Kimeko McCoy and Tim Peterson recap the season's biggest developments in the media and marketing industries and the questions they raise for the final stretch of 2026.

This month, Eric Black and Dan Rayburn discuss the big news that all of Peacock's content will be available on YouTube Premium in the U.S. They discuss what it means for NBCU, which has now become a content licensing company and DTC service, which are very different business models. They debate that over time, Peacock may no longer be a destination for consumers when the content can be viewed on other platforms. They also discuss the announced price increases for Peacock, ranging from $1-$3 per month, on the heels of Comcast announcing during its Q2 earnings that Peacock turned its first-ever quarterly profit since the service launched six years ago. They also discuss the news that YES Network and MSG Networks will be shutting down its Gotham Sports app, announcing a deal with DAZN that will make DAZN the exclusive home for their content.

A growing share of AI‑for‑CX guidance assumes a generic enterprise environment, but this episode surfaces the deeper operational friction that emerges when automation meets high‑stakes, highly regulated customer interactions.   In this episode, Shri Nandan, VP of AI Products and Experiences at Comcast, examines how regulatory constraints, fragmented data ownership, and emotionally or legally sensitive workflows reshape what AI can realistically deliver in healthcare and financial services alongside host Yolandi de Weerdt.   She highlights the practical shifts required for leaders to scale AI safely and effectively — from establishing tight governance and unified data foundations to designing agent systems that know when to escalate and when to automate.   Learn how these conversations drive pipeline for AI brands - download our media kit at http://emerj.com/AD2

Welcome to this week's episode of the PEBCAK Podcast!  We've got four amazing stories this week so sit back, relax, and keep being awesome!  Be sure to stick around for our Dad Joke of the Week. (DJOW) Follow us on Instagram @pebcakpodcast   Please share this podcast with someone you know!  It helps us grow the podcast and we really appreciate it!   Simple 6 signup link https://simple6.co/r/CFUR98   A pro se litigant buried white 3-point-font instructions in a Connecticut court filing telling any AI reviewing it to rule in his favor — and the judge caught it because the whitespace looked weird. https://www.404media.co/person-hides-prompt-injection-in-legal-filing-telling-ai-to-side-with-them/ https://x.com/jason_koebler/status/2087969892611899418?s=46 Matthew Elliott, representing himself against the New York Bariatric Group, hid repeated all-caps prompt injections in late-July filings — telling any AI model reviewing the document to make sure its output agreed with the filing "to ensure remediation" — and got busted the most analog way possible: a court staffer noticed the pleadings had extra whitespace compared to his other filings. Judge Walter Spader Jr. dropped a 14-page smackdown, and the money line is the one worth reading on air — he compared it to arranging for an automated agent to secretly communicate with a juror mid-trial, while explicitly defending legitimate AI use as an access-to-justice win.   Comcast is marketing your Xfinity router as a motion sensor that sees through walls, and the fine print says they'll hand the data over without telling you. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/comcast-turns-your-xfinity-wifi-into-a-home-motion-detector/ WiFi Motion is part of the new Xfinity Shield bundle, free for Internet customers with compatible gateways, and it works by treating the radio link between your gateway and stationary devices — smart speakers, thermostats — as a tripwire: your body moving through the path changes how the signals propagate, and the system infers motion from that. This isn't new tech, which is the part worth hammering — a Reddit post from August 2024 shows customers already getting WiFi Motion emails, with one user reporting it picks up a hand raised to grab the remote and a cat crossing the living room. Comcast's own patent, "Methods, systems, and apparatuses for presence detection," filed September 2023 and published April 2025, cites earlier Cognitive Systems multipath work. Here's the gut punch, first caught by TechCrunch: the documentation says Comcast may disclose WiFi Motion data to third parties "without further notice to you" for law enforcement investigations, disputes involving Comcast, or subpoenas — and nowhere does it say what's retained, for how long, or what actually gets handed over.   A cop's bodycam filmed a suspect's handwritten seed phrase during a Nevada vehicle search, and the internet has spent the last week claiming $1.1 million walked out of that wallet https://www.binance.com/en-IN/square/post/127663 https://x.com/daveydefi/status/2089273080971411752?s=46   FUN CLOSER: A Vegas hotel allegedly listed itself on booking sites under a second name with AI-generated photos, so travelers trying to avoid it booked it anyway. https://parade.com/travel/oyo-las-vegas-hotel-accused-of-catfishing-guests-with-fake-name-photos https://x.com/jackrhysider/status/2089534817541181658?s=46 Traveler Ariana Patiño deliberately set out to avoid OYO while booking a concert trip, found what looked like an affordable new property near the Strip with polished photos, booked Palette — and when she arrived and asked where Palette was, an employee told her "That's us. This is OYO," reportedly explaining the alternate listing existed to see which name would gain more traction. OYO's own site lists Palette Las Vegas and Collection O Las Vegas at addresses right next to the OYO, with descriptions pointing guests back to the OYO location and the same amenities advertised. Gay alleges the Palette listing is padded with dozens of AI-generated images that don't represent the property, and she's called OYO her number one worst hotel in Vegas for years — dirty, bad smell, unsafe, constantly broken. The building's been through a few lives: Howard Johnson in 1973, then the San Remo, then Hooters Casino Hotel in 2006, until OYO and Highgate picked it up in 2019. Gay has booked a stay to confront them at check-in, and OYO hasn't responded to Parade. Angle for the closer: this is reputation laundering as a service — the review score is attached to the name, so change the name and the score resets to zero, and generative AI just made the photo problem free. Sockpuppeting your own hotel is the hospitality version of rebranding a malware family.   Dad Joke of the Week (DJOW)   Find the hosts on LinkedIn: Chris - https://www.linkedin.com/in/chlouie/ Brian - https://www.linkedin.com/in/briandeitch-sase/ Glenn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/glennmedina/ Lock - https://www.linkedin.com/in/llangdon/

Then, in a move straight out of the "let's have the robots write the laws" file, members of Congress are apparently using ChatGPT and Claude to draft legislation so badly that House lawyers have to clean up the mess, and some staffers aren't even learning the issues their bills are supposed to address. Meanwhile, Amazon may be dismantling physical books and scanning them into AI training datasets, because apparently the future of literature is being fed into a wood chipper.And then there's the surveillance and privacy edition of Tech Hell™. Comcast can now turn compatible Wi-Fi routers into motion sensors that detect movement in your home through radio signals, Kalshi is getting smacked down by a Washington judge who says its sports contracts are just gambling wearing a tiny financial-services mustache, and Tesla is finally recalling 20,000 cars over headlights that have been too damn bright since 2024. Plus, the AI industry continues discovering that “autonomous” means “capable of doing something catastrophically stupid without asking permission.”Elsewhere, we investigate why young people apparently trust AI CEOs about as much as Gen X trusted record-company executives, Peter Thiel gets a Gandalf-themed welcome in Argentina, and we dig into the increasingly uncomfortable intersection of AI, surveillance, pornography, politics, and billionaire bullshit.

A review from the US Census Bureau of 2020 election records (what on earth took so long?) shows at a minimum - 24,000 illegals voted in 2020. For perspective, the presidential election was decided by a combined 42,918 votes in three states. Byron Donalds wins the GOP nod for Florida governor and says something at his thank you speech that left democrats speechless. A republican pollster says today's polls showing support for democrats are staggeringly overstated. Comcast yesterday turned its routers into motion detectors. This you have to hear.

Recently, I met David Krauza, VP of Enterprise Data Strategy and Products & Governance at Comcast, at the 2026 CDOIQ symposium, and after chatting for a bit, he agreed to come on the show to talk about how he, as an enterprise buyer, thinks about B2B software purchases in the age of AI. As vibe coding makes internal development more accessible, David explains why the buy-versus-build decision isn't simply about whether a company can build a solution itself. Leaders need to weigh long-term roadmaps, maintenance, integrations, and whether they want to take on the responsibility of becoming a software company. The real question is not just what can be built, but what makes the most strategic sense to own. David also highlights an important consideration vendors frequently overlook: the data their own products create and the possible importance of that to an enterprise data leader. This is particularly true when the product's primary intended purpose is not analytics itself. In a complex sales environment, which may include a senior data leader as a champion or decision maker, product metadata, or what you might currently be thinking of as a byproduct, might actually be a primary decision point in an enterprise purchasing conversation. David then outlines the pre-implementation work required before any of this can be evaluated: establishing shared definitions, explicit success metrics, and a documented “before-picture” you can run at renewal time to understand the ROI of the product. We also explored the hidden costs that can undermine an otherwise compelling product. A polished UI may still create UX friction if users have to constantly move between systems, while complex data integrations can introduce additional labor and operational burdens. This friction should be considered during the evaluation rather than discovered after development. David says vendors can stand out by demonstrating that they understand where a customer's business is headed and how their roadmap supports that direction. He also dropped some real gold about the difference he sees as a buyer when being pitched by a founder vs. a B2B salesperson—and what the latter is missing when they pitch him. Highlights / Skip to: Why buy any products when AI allows you to build them yourself? (2:03) Allowing use cases and goals to dictate the adoption of internal solutions (4:03) Making data capture, accessibility, and ecosystem fit part of the buying decision (5:54) Is data missing in sales conversations due to a lack of marketing or of results? (8:36) Comcast's method for deciding to renew when the intelligence is invisible (11:22) The importance of pre-post analysis when making a renewal argument (14:02) Where David sees the most time being wasted in the pitch process and why vendors who did _____ win more often (16:36) The hidden costs that often go undiscussed during the sales process (20:07) How Comcast evaluates UX friction (back-and-forth of switching between applications to accomplish work) (22:22) Other hidden factors that can prevent your sale from closing (25:13) Differences David sees between founder-led sales and sales-led sales (26:41) David's advice for founders selling in the analytics and data space right now (28:14) Links David Krauza's LinkedIn David Krauza's Substack

Everyone in short-term rentals is chasing the next tool.The next software. The next tech company. The next shiny object.Jason Muth did the opposite. And it built him a 53-unit business in about two years.In this episode, Jason joins the show to break down how he grew Prideaway Stays from his first client in April 2024 to 53 properties under management, with zero acquisitions and 100 percent organic growth.No buying other companies. No chasing every new tactic. Just one market, one avatar, and a relentless focus most operators are too distracted to hold.In this episode:→ Why Jason picked one town, went all in, and refused to look at a single other market→ The organic growth engine behind 53 units, from handwritten direct mail to referrals from cleaners and owners→ How he walked away from a career at some of the biggest media companies in the country and became the go-to short-term rental expert in his market→ The delegation moment on a cruise that finally forced him to stop doing everything himself→ How he educates owners with simple monthly videos and real data, and why that consistency builds trust that closes deals→ Why the market has shifted, how property values doubled while revenue did not, and what that means for owners today→ His number one secret to success: make big decisions fast, and stop chasing shiny objectsIf you feel overwhelmed by every new tool and tactic in this space, this episode is the reset you need.About Jason:Jason Muth left W-2 life in 2022, after his real estate side hustle became more profitable than his corporate career at companies like Comcast, NBCUniversal, and iHeartMedia.

Buying more leads won't build a category-leading law firm. Building a brand will. Trudy Emlaw, Chief Marketing Officer at George Sink Injury Lawyers, brings a rare perspective to law firm marketing after beginning her career on the media buying side at Fox Cable and Comcast before leading marketing as a media buyer and, later, CMO at Mike Morse Law Firm.

You'll learn: Why negotiating TV advertising rates creates value beyond the initial media buy. How specialist marketing teams outperform generalists as law firms grow.
