Sind wir nun offiziell erwachsen? BastiMasti und anredo ziehen ihr erstes Ü30-Zwischenfazit: Von Rückenschmerzen über neue Hobbys ab in die Sinnkrise. Basti ist seit ein paar Wochen 30 – und überraschenderweise völlig im Reinen damit. Kein Drama, kein Hexenschuss, keine Existenzkrise. Ganz anders bei anredo, der mit seinen 32 Jahren schon schwer an seinem sogenannten Erwachsensein trägt – körperlich wie mental. Rückenschmerzen, ein verfluchter Ikea-Stuhl und neue Pilze im Rollrasen treiben ihn an den Rand der Lebensmüdigkeit (oder wahlweise in ein Sabbatical auf griechischen Inseln). In dieser Jubiläumsfolge des Erfolgspodcasts #rundfunk17 gibt's ein humorvolles Abtasten der großen Lebensfragen: Sind die beiden nun endlich erwachsen? Was ist eigentlich „sesshaft werden“? Braucht man dazu eine Outdoor-Kitchen? Und hilft vielleicht ein Cabrio gegen die Midlife-Crisis light? Während Basti zufrieden Kegelabende und Café-Besuche zelebriert, steckt anredo tief in einer Sinnsuche. Zwischen Geburtstags-Song auf Spotify (der es nicht auf Spotify geschafft hat), Sims-Langeweile und Pokémon-Exzessen wird klar: irgendwas muss passieren. Aber was? Hund, Kind oder Counter-Strike? Dazu: eine Mini-Reportage von Bastis Ausflug in die E-Sports-Szene der Lanxess Arena – inklusive Männerüberschuss, fragwürdiger T-Shirt-Debatten und überraschenden Begegnungen. Am Ende bleibt die Frage: Ist 30 wirklich das neue Nice? Oder reicht es, einfach Dinge für den Plot zu machen? Wer glaubt, ab 30 werde alles gesetzter, wird hier eines Besseren belehrt.

This gripping two-part commentary captures a defining moment in America's cultural and political shift. On one side, an eye-opening revelation: 77% of Gen Z job seekers reportedly bring their parents to interviews — a symbol of rising dependency and shrinking adulthood. On the other, a reinvigorated conservative movement, led by Donald Trump, declares it's done with compromise, rededicating itself to aggressive action against woke ideology, DEI mandates, and institutional overreach. Together, these segments reveal a nation at a crossroads — where one generation demands safe spaces, and another decides to fight back.

Your Stupid Minds jumps right on the zeitgeist to cover possibly one of the worst movies of 2025. Released just a week ago on Amazon Prime Video, War of the Worlds (2025) asks the question "have you ever wanted to see the classic H.G. Wells story adapted into a 90 minute Microsoft Teams meeting?" And the answer from the public is a resounding "NO!" We should also note this movie was shot in 2020 using COVID protocols, and it shows. William Radford (Ice Cube) is NSA's only employee. When he isn't using government resources to spy on his daughter Faith's (Iman Benson) fridge, or uninstalling Counter-Strike from his son David's (Henry Hunter Hall) Steam account, he's trying to catch a hacker known as "Disruptor." He thinks he's pinpointed his location by copy/pasting his IP out of his YouTube video's source code (lol) and a task force comes to a building to take him down. Of course, if you've seen the title of this movie, you know none of this matters, because aliens invade and blow up a bunch of landmarks with meteors. The invaders are after data, trying to suck out all the data from the world's servers so they can become more powerful. With the help of his family and NASA friend Sandra (Eva Longoria), William uses all the apps available to him to save the world. Of course, he needs a little help from Faith's boyfriend Mark (Devon), an Amazon driver who uses his elite delivery skills to send William a flash drive packed with alien-killing viruses to his location using a drone. Did we mention this movie is on Prime Video? Will they save the world? Will Mark get promoted to a golden pee bottle? Will you throw up from the camera swirling across a computer screen at 3,000 miles per hour? You'll have to listen to find out! But please don't watch the movie.

Remember when multiplayer meant dragging your PC to a friend's house, untangling a mess of cables, and staying up all night yelling across the room? In this episode, we're talking all about the LAN party era—those unforgettable weekends filled with Counter-Strike, Quake, Diablo II, and way too much soda.

Join Bob DeMarco on The Knife Junkie Podcast Episode 614 as he sits down with Jacob Asuit, the passionate founder of Very Good Knife Co., for an incredible journey through the world of knife making. His story is one of resilience, family business complications, serious injuries, and ultimately finding his true calling in creating affordable, utilitarian knives that working people actually use.From his early days assembling knives with his father at 2 Jake's Knives to grinding thousands of blade blanks for Premium Knife Supply, Jacob has accumulated an almost unparalleled level of hands-on experience. His journey includes creating high-end custom pieces featuring exotic materials like mammoth tooth and meteorite, but ultimately led him to realize his true passion: making "very good" knives that people aren't afraid to carry and use every day.In this episode, Jacob shares the inspiration behind his company name (hint: it involves Parks and Recreation's Ron Swanson), his philosophy on knife design that prioritizes hand feel over aesthetics, and his criticism of makers who charge custom prices for production-style work. You'll learn about his meticulous production process where every knife is still hand-cut from bar stock, his approach to testing knives through real-world abuse, and his plans for significant expansion while maintaining his quality standards.Bob showcases the beautiful First Strike knife he purchased directly from Jacob at Blade Show 2025, and Jacob demonstrates several of his designs including the popular Adventure model, the massive Eagle, and previews his upcoming Counter Strike design. The conversation reveals not just technical expertise, but the business lessons learned from over a decade in the knife industry and Jacob's vision for making quality knives accessible to working people.Whether you are a knife maker, collector, or simply someone who appreciates quality craftsmanship and compelling personal stories, this episode offers valuable insights into what it takes to build a sustainable knife business based on integrity and practical design.Listen at theknifejunkie.com/614 and connect with Jacob at verygoodknifeco.com, on YouTube at Very Good Knife Company, and Instagram @verygoodknifeco.Be sure to support The Knife Junkie and get in on the perks of being a patron, including early access to the podcast and exclusive bonus content.

Hela 70 miljoner dollar ligger i prispotten under e-sport-VM i Saudiarabien som nyligen dragit igång. Under sju veckor möts 2000 gamers från 100 olika länder i spel som Call of Duty, League of Legends och Counter Strike. Samtidigt riktas kritik mot tävlingen och en del menar att Saudiarabien anordnar mästerskapet som ett sätt att rikta fokus från dåliga levnadsförhållanden i landet, så kallad “sportswashing”. Vad har e-sporten för status idag, vilka svenska stjärnor finns i tävlingen och varför satsar Saudiarabien miljontals dollar på gaming? Gäst: Leo Pettersson, spelreporter, Aftonbladet.

We dissect the phenomenon of FPS Strike, a low-poly, Counter-Strike-inspired mobile shooter racking up more than 4 million DAU, mostly across India, Pakistan, Brazil, Egypt, and Southeast Asia. Despite its massive scale, nearly everything about the game is stuck in the “admon nightmare” zone—zero iOS presence, almost no user acquisition, unoptimized ad stack, endless rewarded ads, and zero LiveOps. Yet, even with all those gaps, it is still a money-printing machine, generating $30,000 to $50,000 a day, primarily from video ads and interstitials.What's inside:Ad Stack TrainwreckAds Everywhere, Little MonetizationCreative and UA FailFake Counter-Strike, Real Results: The “nostalgia” is more about experiencing a shooter for the first time on mobile, not actual Counter-Strike memories. Simple graphics, bots for everyone, and a skin shop that barely matters.Key Takeaway:You do not need next-gen graphics or live PVP to win in Tier 3. But if you do not optimize your ad stack, creatives, and UA, you are burning money every day. FPS Strike is a case study in “good enough” that could be so much more.Get our MERCH NOW: 25gamers.com/shop--------------------------------------PVX Partners offers non-dilutive funding for game developers.Go to: https://pvxpartners.com/They can help you access the most effective form of growth capital once you have the metrics to back it.- Scale fast- Keep your shares- Drawdown only as needed- Have PvX take downside risk alongside you+ Work with a team entirely made up of ex-gaming operators and investors---------------------------------------Vibe.

This week, we dive into the Austin FC summer reset: where have the players been during the break? From Svatok's poolside hangs and Miami trip, to Dani Pereira at the Counter-Strike event, and Uzuni reuniting with family back home, we cover it all, but now that the break is over, it's time to lock in… no more excuses.With Seattle coming up next, we talk expectations. Did their Club World Cup run wear them down or sharpen them up? Will the break help or hurt Austin?We also take a look at the Austin FC Academy's performance at the MLS NEXT Cup, spotlighting standout moments across the U15, U16, and U18 levels.Gold Cup talk: USMNT beats Saudi Arabia at Q2, but where were the fans?Chris Richards, and Jack McGlynn had something to say about the atmosphere in Austin.

In this fiery and wide-ranging episode of the RattlerGator Report, J.B. White reflects on a powerful theme drawn from the musical Hamilton: “I'm not standing still, I'm lying in wait.” Framing the MAGA movement through the lens of cultural, political, and military patience, he draws powerful parallels between artistic storytelling and strategic counterinsurgency. From a personal family weekend to dissecting the political psyop in Los Angeles, J.B. makes it clear, he has zero concerns about the LA chaos, calling it a “trap” that Team Trump is more than ready for. He discusses the Elon-Trump kayfabe, the misreads by media and pundits, and the ascendant role of Tesla in the global order. With off-the-cuff rants, sharp cultural critiques, and a call for discernment in chaotic times, J.B. weaves together art, geopolitics, and righteous indignation in one compelling sit-down.

What next?  Plus: We have another sudden twist in the Trump trade roller coaster. The president this morning threatened the European Union with a 50% tariff on all goods. Will it jumpstart negotiations with crucial allies or just rattle the markets?  And: 80-plus years after paying the ultimate sacrifice in fighting Nazis, Jewish World War II veterans are finally receiving the burials that reflect their faith.
