On Labor Day weekend episode of Razor Wire News, McShane and Fitz open with beer banter and off-color merch jokes before diving into the week's topics: Canadian PM Mark Carney complains that Americans should stop “doing memes,” prompting an avalanche of AI edits and Carney quickly signaling he's ready to talk trade; he was “memed into submission.” They discuss a juvenile-but-funny White House drop of five retro arcade-style games (including a Tetris-like one) and note Tetris is unhappy about copyright, while arguing border enforcement is still a serious issue. They slam Bernie Sanders' bill to ban AI as anti-American in an arms-race with China, joking they'd rather face an “American AI terminator” than a Chinese one. Later, they roast the 2026 Socialism Conference in Chicago (2,600 sign-ups), highlight a speaker arguing the left should stop trying to be “fitter than the fascists,” and trace funding to major foundations including Tides, Rockefeller, Ford, and others. They revisit Nepal's catastrophic flood via meteorologist Chris Martz, rejecting climate-change blame and calling it bedrock collapse and reporting effects, then pivot to UN climate messaging, geomagnetic-field theories, El Niño, a hurricane-less Atlantic, and multiple Indonesian volcanic eruptions around Krakatau. Jefé drops in with a “Farm Report” about the pistol shrimp's cavitation “shot” (218 dB, extreme heat, flash of light). The episode also detours into the WNBA commissioner “retiring,” Hunter Biden's “48.6% gay” remark, Ryan Reynolds' comments about the '80s while promoting “Mayday,” and a viral video classifying movies by political ideology, before closing with standout beers and a call to think critically.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/razor-wire-news--5683729/support.www.razorwirenews.com

All aboard the Adventure Beckons! Drawn back together after a disastrous time apart, a reunited team of Eschatonica explorers must fight their way to escape. But the Creed of Oracle's most determined soldiers haven't given up on taking Jonathan's new airship back yet… This week on Perpetua: Escape the Rumbling Castle! 08 Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.06] Some Feedback [Page 69 of 71] FriendofNei So what was everyone's favorite part of Eschatonica? For me, it was getting to mix up the two parties and see how their abilities worked together. Antistrophe, Nicky, and Jonathan are a real powerhouse team! Doom_Tree_Anne I loved mixing the parties too, but more for the special conversations you can get! I hope Brontë can spend more time with Veile and Elena later in the game. TheDiamondRanger Why? Do they get cool bonuses? Doom_Tree_Anne Haha, no, I just like to see them together n.n;;;;;; TheUnforgivenIII The Redolencia and Ichoria Celestial Echoes were fuggin bad ass. I gotta go play those games, they seem metal as hell. Doom_Tree_Anne Oh, they are quite metal indeed! I'd say that was my favorite part as well. Especially getting to see the Agonies rendered in the Perpetua style! What a treat for a long time fan! Alukard83 I loved the Agonies, but I wish they got to stick around long term.  I think my favorite part was the exploration. I loved mapping out all the hallways and dead ends. TheUnforgivenIII Why would you like like to map out a dead end. It's a dead end. Dumbass. Lol page 69 btw TheDiamondRanger Why is that Lol?

Things Discussed: Smart, old secondary. Can play those Fangio games where you recognize patterns in how they align and switch coverages. Going to be special to watch that. DTs: Lea'ea and Etta are not doubles-eaters, so we may have to play differently than we have in the past up front. Can you play 3-4? Sure but that will wear out Pierce. Would love for Palepale to come online Utah best offense in Whittingham's tenure last year with Dampier, who is not remotely accurate. Bryce: Surrounding cast much better (28 drops last year!), his legs included. Dante Moore at UCLA was the comp to last year. Okay gets you to 20th in SP+, better than that needs Bryce to step up. Can he? Yeah, think Gardner is too low on Bryce's ability to read a defense and hit tiny windows. DB on Marsh was scared and that gave breathing room. WMU: Not the kind of offense you expect to see from a MAC team. Big offensive line, Walt Bell runs a complicated run offense that really tests how well your defensive rules work inside. WMU Defense: I love their nickel, but they have some tiny guys in the secondary who are just not going to be able to handle JJ Buchanan. Expect Bryce to look better in this game than he will most of the year. Roddy Gayle litigation: NCAA shot themselves in the foot, but not certain how the court will rule. TRO is a good start, next step is a preliminary injunction it's important to win so he can keep practicing, but the emergency ruling will be the ballgame, and it's not certain the judges will side with him. Sucks because the McCoy injury means they need Roddy now.

KSL Sports BYU Insider Mitch Harper is loaded with content to get you ready for the 2026 BYU football season. Mitch opens the show with a deep dive into the biggest on-field storyline of Saturday's opener: Kelly Poppinga calling a defense for the first time as BYU's defensive coordinator. "K-Pop" takes over for Michigan-bound Jay Hill, inheriting a unit that ranked in the top 20 in scoring defense each of the past two seasons and produced eight defensive touchdowns over three years. Poppinga, a former BYU linebacker star and 18-year coaching veteran, has promised to keep the foundation Hill built while adding his own flavor — swapping Hill's word "chaos" for his own mantra of havoc. His first depth chart features 13 defensive positions, signaling a multiple-front approach with five-DB packages and a nickel look. Kalani Sitake has praised Poppinga all camp, calling him "probably the hardest-working coordinator I've ever been around". Next, Mitch is joined by KSL colleague Alex Kirry for a conversation about BYU football heading into the season. Kirry, the host of "KSL Brightside" on KSL NewsRadio and former Cougar Tracks host, joined the show to preview the season and play a game of "Bear or Bull." To close the show, Mitch goes around the Big 12 Conference with his Week 1 picks. From Colorado at Georgia Tech to Baylor vs. Auburn in Atlanta, and every other game in between around the league.

In this Meaningful Money Q&A episode, Pete Matthew and Roger Weeks answer listener questions on planning for mini-retirements, changing career into financial planning, accessing pensions with a guaranteed annuity rate, and whether to take tax-free cash from a defined benefit pension. They also discuss how to manage inherited money for children approaching financial independence, including ISAs, Junior SIPPs, university costs and future house deposits. Finally, they look at saving and investing alongside the NHS Pension, including using a Stocks and Shares ISA, SIPP contributions and higher-rate tax relief. A practical UK personal finance discussion covering pensions, retirement planning, investing, student loans and long-term wealth building. Shownotes: https://meaningfulmoney.tv/QA59  07:17  Question 1 Hi guys, Financial infrastructure and policy in the UK is built around to support (and likely encourage/enforce) the "standard" life of consistently working for 40 years and then stopping altogether. State and private pensions accessible around age 60, Lifetime ISAS, compounding growth of stocks etc. For various reasons, my wife and I (both 32) don't want to do this. We are in the fortunate position where we can take months or years off at a time and plan to do this several times throughout our lives. We know this means our earning potential and growth will be lower and that we may not end up with as large a pension as we could have. But we may also end up having some sort of income until we're much older. Question: what if anything can people do with today's accounts/tax advantages/schemes to enable this type of lifestyle? Hypothetical question: what type of infrastructure could the government introduce to enable this? How about a "pension" you can take at any time up to some cap per year and only for X years in a row? Given fewer jobs now require physical use of our bodies (and hence 60 may no longer be a necessary stopping point), could we see more people "working" off and on until 70 or 80? Tom   15:36  Question 2 Hi Pete and Roger First of all, thank you for the valuable conversations you bring to listeners. I'm a 32-year-old with a strong interest in personal finance and investing, and I would describe myself as financially literate and proactive in managing my own money. I currently feel I've been underestimating my potential and would like to pivot into financial services. I'm considering self-funding qualifications such as the LP2 (Financial Services – General Route) as a starting point, followed by the RQF Level 4 Diploma in Financial Planning. Do you think starting this pathway at 32 is realistic, or have I left it too late to successfully transition into the industry? Thanks, Darren. G   19:36 Question 3 Hello Pete and Roger, Firstly, I very much enjoy listening to your podcast whilst doing my weekly walks. I currently live in Australia and will be returning to the UK in 6 months to live near my family and will be turning 55 at the same time. My question is: I have a Defined Contribution pension, valued at 70K with a GAR. I am legally required to get IFA before I can drawdown, UFPLS, lump sum etc. There appears to be an exception to this mandatory requirement if I take an annuity. Is this correct? If it is, would this also apply to a fixed term annuity? Secondly, what options do I have to access my pension if no financial advisor is keen to take me on as a client and sign the 'advice taken' form that is required by my pension provider. My provider (Royal London) has said that the advice doesn't have to be positive or negative to what I want to do, I just have to show that I at least went through the procedure. Thanks for your help. Regards Brett   27:08 Question 4 Dear Pete and Rog, Thank you so much for the wealth of wisdom you share with us all - it has helped my family towards a more secure and planned future.  I'm not an expert but as the future recipient of a few small DB pensions I have a question. You often infer Defined Benefit pensions are "solid gold", implying they should be preserved at all costs. I want to challenge your strong preference to avoid taking the 25% tax free cash (Pension Commencement Lump Sum (PCLS)). Isn't it "dangerous" to not clarify the commutation rate more explicitly?  On one hand, with a poor commutation rate isn't the member effectively "selling" inflation-linked, guaranteed income far too cheaply? On the other, with an attractive commutation, by taking the 25% tax-free cash "off the table," a member can: 1. Eliminate mortality risk: If they die early, that cash stays with the family; the DB income disappears. 2. Manage Tax Drag: Using the PCLS to bridge to state pension age can keep a retiree in the basic rate band rather than being pushed into higher rates by a full DB payout. 3. Seek Outperformance: While DB is index-linked, a well-allocated ISA can historically outperform inflation over the long term. Why do you treat the PCLS as a "loss" of income rather than a strategic "de-risking" of the pension asset? Thanks for clarifying - because I think I must be missing something. Gareth   31:55 Question 5 Hi Pete and Roger, I started listening to the podcast when I began Couch to 5K, and it's been really helpful. It also makes me feel quite virtuous, like I'm improving both my health and finances at the same time! I'd value your thoughts on managing money for a child who is approaching financial independence. I'm the trustee for my 16-year-old daughter, who inherited directly from a relative. She has £140k in total, with 42% in cash savings, 46% in investments (mainly low cost global tracker) and 12% in a junior SIPP (also in global trackers). I'm moving as much as possible into ISA wrappers annually. I don't currently plan to add further to the SIPP. She is aware that there is a "good amount" of money saved for her but not actual figures yet and it is referred to as money for a house deposit. I plan to start involving her more directly in managing it from age 17, although we already talk regularly about money and financial habits. She's academic and likely to go to university although also considering degree apprenticeships. She wants a high paying career but has no idea what career yet! A few things I'd really value your perspective on: How should I think about asset allocation? I'm not risk averse and feel like there's too much in cash but mindful that she will be in control in 2 years and may want to use some of the money in the short term, e.g. for university, car, travelling etc. Would you lean towards encouraging her to fund university costs rather than taking out a student loan if she goes, given that under the new plan around 80% are expected to repay their loans in full? At least there would be less available to fritter away or spend on a red Lamborghini! Or keep it invested and position it more clearly as a future house deposit? And finally I have an 11-year-old in the same position. Given the longer time horizon, would you do anything different now in terms of structure, investment approach, or how and when to involve them? Thanks so much — I'd really appreciate your thoughts. Beth   42:51  Question 6 Hi both, hope you're well. I am 28 , working full time in the NHS. My partner and I bought our first home just before Christmas.  I have an emergency fund in an easy access account as well as putting 10% of my salary into a S&S ISA each month which I plan to use to bridge the gap between retirement and access to my NHS Pension. I also recently moved into the 40% tax bracket and so opened a SIPP which I put another 5% of my salary into each month. Any other savings go into high yield interest accounts/ISAs.  I just wanted to ask, is there anything else I should be doing with my money or is it simply a case of keep at it now?  Thanks a lot, Joe

The San Francisco 49ers have played their last meaningless game of 2026 and everything that happens next counts for real. Melbourne. What did we learn across three preseason games and six weeks of training camp? Who exceeded expectations — and Stribling, we see you — and who fell short? What does the final 53-man roster look like and which cuts surprised you? How healthy is this team heading into the opener? And what does a prime time international showcase against the Rams in front of a sold-out Melbourne Cricket Ground actually mean for the 2026 San Francisco 49ers?

They're going to Melbourne. And nobody knows exactly what they are yet. That's what makes this 49ers team the most fascinating story in the NFC heading into 2026. Because on one hand — the hope is real and it is enormous. Brock Purdy is entering his prime and on the verge of owning the highest career passer rating in NFL history. Christian McCaffrey is the best all-purpose weapon in football when his body cooperates. Mike Evans is a future HOF'er. Deebo Samuel is home. De'Zhaun Stribling just had the best preseason of any rookie receiver in the NFC. On the other hand ... Is Bosa 80% of what he used to be? Can Kittle give this season a real burst? Can CMC hold up? Will the defense rush the QB? We simply do not know. The hope. The questions. The ceiling. The floor. And what has to happen for the 2026 San Francisco 49ers to finally be the team that ends the drought and brings a Lombardi Trophy back to the Bay.

What's a W.H.40.K? — An introduction to Warhammer 40,000's immense science-fantasy horror setting, where a corpse-worshipping human empire fights aliens, daemons, ancient machines, and its own terrible history. 1. The Imperium of Man — From Dune, Foundation, Roman decline, and medieval Christendom comes a galactic empire where the future is not progress but a dead civilization kept moving through faith, fear, and paperwork. 2. Space Marines — The Imperium's iconic super-soldiers combine power armor and military science fiction with crusading knights, Spartan myth, warrior monks, kidnapped children, and the seductive imagery of authoritarian heroism. 3. Astra Militarum / Imperial Guard — Drawing from trench literature, British war comics, Kipling, and future-war fiction, the Guard are ordinary people sent into cosmic horror with little more than courage and a lasgun. 4. Adeptus Mechanicus — Frankenstein, Metropolis, invention pulp, and lost-technology stories meet in a machine cult where science survives, understanding does not, and repairs are performed like religious rites. 5. Adepta Sororitas / Ecclesiarchy — Gothic convents, martyr legends, Joan of Arc, witchfinders, and Hammer horror become armored saints who turn faith, suffering, and flamethrowers into instruments of Imperial power. 6. The Inquisition — The occult detective and witch-hunter become one terrifying Imperial investigator who may uncover the truth only to burn every witness, building, and planet touched by it. 7. Rogue Traders — Planetary romance, colonial adventure fiction, space opera, pirates, and merchant princes combine in explorers licensed to discover strange worlds, trade with them, rob them, or claim them for the Imperium. 8. Adeptus Custodes — Ancient palace guards, sacred kingship, Achilles, and Gilgamesh stand behind the Emperor's golden companions: philosopher-warriors created to protect a god who is already dead. 9. Adeptus Titanicus / Titan Legions — Giant robots descend from Martian tripods, dreadnoughts, siege engines, golems, and war gods to become walking cathedrals capable of teaching entire cities to kneel. 10. The Horus Heresy — Warhammer's great betrayal myth draws from Lucifer, Cain and Abel, Arthur and Mordred, Roman civil wars, and fallen-hero stories to explain how the Emperor's favored son broke the human future from within. 11. Chaos Space Marines — Fallen angels, Byronic rebels, cursed champions, and Milton's Satan become immortal super-soldiers whose genuine grievances have curdled into rebellion, bitterness, and damnation. 12. Chaos Daemons — Medieval demonology, grimoires, occult pulp, weird fiction, and nightmare cinema become psychic entities made from mortal rage, despair, ambition, obsession, and desire. 13. World Eaters / Khorne — Sword-and-sorcery pulp, berserker sagas, gladiator spectacle, and revenge tragedy create warriors who reduce every political, emotional, and moral problem to an axe blow. 14. Death Guard / Nurgle — Plague literature, danse macabre, zombie films, body horror, and graveyard humor meet in rotting soldiers who have surrendered to decay and discovered that the joke is that they are happy. 15. Thousand Sons / Tzeentch — Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, mummy fiction, occult scholarship, and forbidden-book stories become sorcerers who sought perfect knowledge only to discover that the book was reading them back. 16. Emperor's Children / Slaanesh — Decadent literature, Gothic aristocrats, glam horror, cursed art, and The Picture of Dorian Gray shape warriors who pursued perfection until beauty became an endlessly hungry mouth. 17. Chaos / Imperial Knights — Haunted castles, ancestral armor, chivalric romance, feudal bloodlines, and giant-robot fiction become seventy-foot war machines carrying generations of family pride, duty, resentment, and curses. 18. Orks — Fantasy orcs, Mad Max, British hooligan comedy, fungus horror, and invasive-species stories combine in a joyful alien ecosystem where killing the enemy may only plant the next war. 19. Tyranids — Alien, The Thing, bug-war fiction, parasite horror, and cosmic naturalism become an extragalactic appetite that does not hate humanity because hatred would interfere with digestion. 20. Genestealer Cults — Body-snatcher films, changeling folklore, secret-cult pulp, family curses, and invasion paranoia create an alien uprising that begins not in the sky but at the dinner table. 21. Necrons — Killer robots and artificial-labor nightmares combine with mummy curses, tomb kings, and cursed archaeology to produce immortal metal dynasties waking from the grave with better weapons than the living. 22. Aeldari / Drukhari — Elves, cruel fairy courts, dying-earth fiction, lost civilizations, decadent aristocrats, and vampire cities become two responses to apocalypse: mourning the fall or continuing the party forever. 23. Night Lords — Batman, slashers, serial killers, Gothic villains, Grand Guignol, and public-execution culture become terror troops who transform punishment into theatre and fear into government. 24. T'au Empire and Leagues of Votann — The T'au combine utopian science fiction, anime mecha, and benevolent imperialism, while the Votann draw from mining frontiers, company towns, clone labor, ancestor cults, and corporate survivalism. 25. [REDACTED] — ▀▀▀ thrillers, ▀▀▀▀▀▀ societies, ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▀▀▀▀▀▀, invasion ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀, Dr. ▀▀▀▀▀▀, and ▀▀▀▀▀ mythology become a Space Marine legion so committed to ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ that truth itself is rendered operationally ▀▀▀▀▀▀.     Audio Book Stories   01 Introduction.

The San Francisco 49ers play their final preseason game in Las Vegas against the Raiders — and the only thing Kyle Shanahan cares about is getting every starter on that plane to Melbourne healthy, whole, and ready to go. Brock Purdy isn't playing. Nick Bosa isn't playing. Christian McCaffrey isn't playing. George Kittle isn't playing. The starters are staying home tonight and that is exactly the right call. Stay healthy. Play clean. Get on the plane.

With a single step, a world shattered and the stars faltered. Those who witnessed the destruction must face the future and pick up the pieces, but first they must escape the Dragon Path and return home—or at least near it. To do that, though, they'll need to capture Jonathan's airship, the Adventure Beckons, from the Creed of Oracles… This week on Perpetua: Escape the Rumbling Castle! 07 Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.06] NPCs & Monsters [PNMS] Creed of Oracles Infantry [NMCOIN] Typical Traits: Gritty, Grim Type: Humanoid Hunter Level: 10 Rank: Soldier Stats: DEX 10, INS 8, MIG 10, WLP 6 Attacks: Holy Salvo, Forceful Flurry Special Abilities: Summon Platemail Elemental Affinities: RES: Physical | VUL: Dark, Poison In-Game Description: With blessed light armor, rifle, and bayonet, Infantry make up the bulk of the Oracle's ranks. The rank-and-file soldier in the Creed of Oracles. If you decide to rush across the open courtyard when you first arrive to area of the castle, you can fight an infinite number of these guys. They aren't especially hardy, but their Holy Salvo is built specifically to knock out sturdy physical characters, so don't underestimate them! Starter Tip: If you can do it, try to dispel their summoned platemail, it'll make fighting them toe to toe a lot easier. Hovering Pyroclastic Typical Traits: Precise, Devoted, Short-fused Type: Humanoid Support Level: 10 Rank: Soldier Stats: DEX 8, INS 8, MIG 6, WLP 10 Attacks: Ignition, Volcanic Charge Special Abilities: Flying, Bracing Ash Elemental Affinities: RES: AIr, Earth [Can gain Fire] | VUL: Dark, Ice, [Starts with Fire] In-Game Description: A soldier in the robes and armor of the Creed of Oracles with flamethrower and a number of volcanic explosives at their belt. These floating demolitionists punch through your elemental defenses and their volcanic charges are like sticky grenades that give a boost to anything that hits your side of the field. Most importantly: They can cover themselves in a magical ash that will boost their might and give them a Fire resistance. Once they do this, they sort of become solid all-arounders, so it's best to knock them out before they can do that. Starter Tip: Hit them with Dark or Ice damage to bring them down to melee range! Fares, Devout Chef Traits: Tricky, Inventive, Religious, Adaptable Type: Humanoid Saboteur Level: 10 Rank: Soldier Stats: DEX 8, INS 8, MIG 8, WLP 8 Attacks: Poison Vial Special Abilities: Bottled Vigour, Enervating Powder Elemental Affinities: RES: Earth, Fire, Light| VUL: Air, Dark, Ice In-Game Description: A chef of the Creed of Oracles. Master of the Kitchen and Pantry. This guy SUCKS! I don't even mean in combat, he's fine to fight. But as a character, I hate how he can draw you into conflict. There's basically only one way through his conversation tree that doesn't draw you either into combat with him immediately (with reinforcements coming soon after) or up into the Barracks where his friends are. Personally, I prefer to just knock him out ASAP and then sneak up to the hidden passage a few rooms away. Starter Tip: If he manages to poison you, don't forget to use your IP for an Antitote. Poisoned doesn't do damage over times like in some games, instead it saps BOTH your Might and Willpower, so whether it hits a bruiser or a mage, you're in trouble!  Ushala, Conduit Traits: Mysterious, Possessed, Sacrificial Type: Demon Mage Level: 10 Rank: Soldier Stats: DEX 10, INS 8, MIG 10, WLP 6 Attacks: Heaven's Light, Heaven's Glory, Heaven's Call Special Abilities: Flying, Pressure Gauge Elemental Affinities: IMM: Light | RES: Physical, Poison | VUL: Dark | Pressure Points: Dagger, Sword In-Game Description: A member of the Creed who temporary gives their body up to be possessed by the spirit of the holy Oracles.  So, as far as I know, there's two versions of Ushala you can fight. The above is the "standard" one, which is what happens when the Gem Scene goes the way it almost always does. But I've heard that if you manage to get the gem away from the Draconic Elf safely, then Ushala can become possessed (by who? My theory is Lucena) and then she gets a second, much harder phase. Which is saying something, because even this version of her is NO JOKE. Starter Tip: If you can, hit her with Shaken and Poisoned (the status condition, NOT the damage type). All three of her attacks are based on WLP, so it helps to knock that down as far as possible. Sarithe, Shieldmaiden [NMSRSH] Traits: Courageous, Devout, Charismatic, Armored  Type: Humanoid Sentinel Level: 10 Rank: Champion (4) Stats: DEX 8, INS 8, MIG 10, WLP 8 Attacks: Face Me!, Intercepting Javelin Special Abilities: Elemental Shield, Head up, Soldier!, Not this time!, Get behind me!, Strong Will, Honest Heart!, Pressure Gauge Elemental Affinities: IMM: | RES: Light, (Can gain Air, Earth, Fire, Ice) | VUL: Bolt, Dark, Poison |  Pressure Points: Flail, Firearm, Spear, Heavy Weapon In-Game Description: A knight in elementally-charged armor, wielding a tower shield and a javelin that hums with power. Despite being fully kitted out in heavy armor, Sarithe's abilities seem designed to make her a strong support character. She keeps her crew safe not only by taking hits for them, but also by healing them, stopping Opportunities (critical hits), and granting them multiple elemental resistances. Starter Tip: Because she has a pressure gauge (from the Armidirge games), she doesn't take extra damage from the elements she's weak against. Instead, if you can hit her six times with something she's vulnerable to (including her pressure point weapon types), she'll get staggered and she loses all of her actions for the rest of the round. Be sure to take advantage of this!!

The 49ers are supposed to be talking about Melbourne. About the Rams. About Nick Bosa's return and George Kittle's Achilles and whether this is finally the year they close the deal and bring a Lombardi Trophy back to Santa Clara. Now it's about Jed's reckless choices. Jed York has never been the most popular figure in San Francisco. The Super Bowl losses. The coaching carousel before Shanahan. The stadium deal. 49ers fans have had a complicated relationship with him for years — but they've tolerated it because the product on the field was worth tolerating it for. This is different. This is personal. This is embarrassing. And it doesn't go away.  Is this the most damaging off-field story in 49ers history?

Jed York was arrested Sunday in East Palestine, Ohio and pleaded no contest Monday morning to misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct and possessing criminal tools. He was sentenced to two days in Columbiana County Jail — with credit for time served — and ordered to pay $1,150 in fines. A cell phone was ordered returned to York, and $160 in seized funds were forfeited to the Mahoning Valley Human Trafficking Task Force as part of the agreement.

49ers dominated all three phases at SoFi Stadium — and the two players who stole the show weren't veterans. They were rookies. Kaelon Black made his preseason debut after missing time with an adductor strain and showed exactly why the 49ers drafted him. De'Zhaun Stribling now has 11 catches for 109 yards across two preseason games. We're going LIVE to break down every rep that mattered, what this win tells us about the 2026 49ers, and what we still need to see against the Raiders next Thursday before the real season begins. Drop your takes in the chat. 

Kyle Shanahan said it himself — starters are playing tonight at SoFi Stadium. Which means for the first time all preseason, we get a real look at what the 2026 San Francisco 49ers are actually going to look like when the lights are on and the games count. 

We've got some spooky ones for you this time, gang! From creepy coins, haunted horses, and more than a few ghost cats. Plus, perhaps one of the scariest hauntings handled the most casually we've ever heard!Content Warning: This episode contains conversations about or mentions of death, queerphobia, enslavement, and child death.

Tuesday in El Segundo it was all business — no brawls, no drama, just the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Chargers going rep for rep in one of the cleanest and most competitive joint practices of the entire preseason. Chargers looked great, 49ers learned they got some work to do.
