Recorded live at Seattle Tech Week, this episode of Founded & Funded brings together two people who track the AI capital markets from different vantage points: Pitchbook EVP of Research & Market Intelligence Nizar Tarhuni, and Madrona Partner Sabrina Albert. These two dig into where AI venture capital is actually landing across the model, infrastructure, and application layers, why AI "harnesses" are becoming a winner-takes-most category, and where vertical AI applications may hold an edge that horizontal platforms can't match. They also cover PitchBook's VC Exit Predictor, the new normal for AI seed valuations, and the tranche-financing structures Nizar says are red flags for founders. And in a live Q&A, they take on a frequently asked question in the AI market: Is this a bubble? Nizar explains why he thinks it's still too early to call, what the data says about the value already being created, and why the next few stages of company growth will tell us much more about which valuations prove durable. For founders raising capital right now, or operators trying to figure out where durable value is emerging in AI, this conversation offers a data-grounded look at what's happening beneath the headline numbers.

As lifestyles evolve, so does home design. Homeowners want flexible spaces, more privacy, stronger connections to the outdoors and finishes that reflect their personal style. The result is a shift toward homes that aren’t just attractive but also work for the way people actually live. Kelley Collins, design studio manager with Ashton Woods, recently joined Carol Morgan on Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio to discuss how thoughtful design can balance function, personality and timeless style — and why the best homes don’t necessarily follow the latest trend. Home Design Starts With How People Live “We always joke that your lighting is like jewelry for your favorite outfit,” Collins said. Lighting can transform a room, highlight architectural features and draw attention to artwork or other focal points. But good design goes beyond what catches the eye. It starts with understanding how people will use a space. That has become particularly important as more people work, study, exercise and spend time at home. Rooms that once served a single purpose now may need to accommodate a home office, classroom, playroom, workout area or guest space. Flex Rooms Give Homeowners More Options Flex rooms offer a clear example of home design adapting to changing needs. A home office today could become a study space for a child tomorrow. A playroom could eventually become a hobby room, exercise area or guest room. Adaptability matters even more for multigenerational households. Rising living costs have contributed to more families living with parents or in-laws, making privacy and separation increasingly important. Doors, finished basements and multipurpose rooms can help families accommodate more people without making everyone feel like they’re living on top of each other. For homebuyers, it’s worth looking beyond how a floor plan works today. Consider how a room could serve the household five or 10 years from now. Open Floor Plans Meet the Need for Privacy Open-concept living remains popular, but the way people use their homes has prompted a closer look at privacy. An open kitchen, dining and living area can make entertaining easier and create a strong sense of connection. But when several people work, study or relax at the same time, too much openness can become a challenge. Interior doors, pocket doors and strategically placed private rooms can provide some separation without giving up the benefits of an open layout. Rather than choosing between open and closed floor plans, homeowners increasingly want a balance between shared spaces and places to retreat. Personalization Should Go Beyond Trends Personalization plays an important role in the design process, but it looks different for every homeowner. Some buyers want to customize nearly every selection. Others prefer a more restrained palette and use one or two features, such as a distinctive backsplash or lighting fixture, to make the home feel like their own. The goal is to create a cohesive design that reflects the homeowner without relying too heavily on a short-lived trend. “If they do have that bold design or that style that they want to incorporate, they really do it with intention,” Collins said. That doesn’t mean homeowners need to avoid bold choices. Instead, they should consider how those choices fit into the rest of the home and whether they’ll still feel right years from now. Timeless Design Can Still Evolve Home design trends constantly change. Cabinet colors have moved from dark finishes to gray and white and are now shifting toward warmer tones. Light and medium wood tones and off-white finishes are gaining popularity as gray and stark white interiors become less dominant. Trend cycles make timeless design valuable. Buyers want their homes to feel current, but they also want to feel comfortable with their choices years after construction ends. A neutral foundation provides flexibility, while lighting, furnishings, artwork and hardware can add personality and allow homeowners to update their spaces over time. Design for Durability and Everyday Life A beautiful home also needs to hold up to everyday life. Flooring and countertops offer good examples. Natural hardwood remains popular, while engineered luxury vinyl flooring attracts buyers who value durability. Quartz continues to appeal to homeowners who appreciate its consistency and low maintenance, even as designers continue to value the character of natural stone. Aesthetics are only part of the decision. Families with children, pets or frequent guests may prioritize different materials than homeowners looking for a low-maintenance second home or an entertainment-focused space. The Kitchen Remains the Heart of the Home For all the changes in home design, some priorities remain remarkably consistent. In the kitchen, an island can provide food preparation space, seating, a gathering point for family and friends and a place for homework or casual conversation. Other features, such as spa-inspired showers, reflect the same desire to make everyday spaces more enjoyable. Ultimately, good design isn’t just about making a room look good. It should make the room work better, too. Trust the Design Process For buyers building a new home, the number of decisions can quickly become overwhelming. Flooring, cabinets, countertops, tile, lighting and fixtures all contribute to the final result. A design professional can help homeowners understand how individual selections work together and where to focus their investment. Instead of making every decision at once, buyers can work through selections step by step and build a cohesive design. The Future of Home Design Will Follow Lifestyle No one can predict exactly which colors, materials or architectural features will dominate home design five or 10 years from now. Trends will continue to change. What we can predict is that homes will continue to adapt to the people who live in them. Flexible rooms can accommodate changing needs. Private spaces can balance open gathering areas. Outdoor living can extend a home’s usable space. Personalization can make a house feel distinctly like its owners. The most enduring design principle may be the simplest: Start with how people live and design from there. The goal is to create a home that represents the homeowner so well that “10 years down the road they still love their home.” That may ultimately separate a home that simply follows a trend from one that continues to feel right long after the trend has passed.

Original Air Date: 08/08/26 Episode Number: 471Episode SummaryDan's son Caleb stopped in to pick up primer and ended up on the radio. He bought his first house -- a 1901-era fixer-upper -- and has spent the past several months dealing with cat smells in a crawl space, a squirrel that chewed through wiring, a dead possum under the floorboards, and the humbling experience of learning to cut in a straight line for the first time. The back half of the conversation covers paint choices, color coverage, the trades versus college, and what it's actually like to be six years into a career as an electrician.Timestamps[00:00] -- Meet Caleb the Guest[01:33] -- First Walkthrough Shock[03:04] -- Cat Smells and the Crawl Space[04:21] -- Enzyme Cleaner Fiasco[07:02] -- Sealing Odor Hotspots[09:26] -- Squirrel in the Ceiling[12:54] -- Dead Possum Discovery[15:22] -- First Time Painting Lessons[19:27] -- Color Choices and Coverage[22:13] -- Choosing the Wall Color[23:06] -- One Coat vs. Two[23:47] -- Ceiling Paint Lessons[25:50] -- Vanity Makeover Plan[27:16] -- DIY Confidence Tips[30:27] -- Trades Talk Break[31:09] -- Back in Studio[31:36] -- Living With Messes[34:05] -- Skipping College[37:24] -- Why Trades Work[40:39] -- Trade Life Humor[42:27] -- Wrap UpThe House [01:33]Built somewhere around 1901 -- "early 1901" on the listing, which Caleb says basically means they don't really know. Good news on move-in day: the electrical had already been updated, which mattered a lot to an electrician who knew exactly what that job would have cost him. The first thing visible when you walked through the door was a dining room painted in the brightest Barbie pink either of them had ever seen. Online listing photos had made it look like a warm sunset. In person it looked like Pepto-Bismol. That was the cosmetic problem. The real problem was the smell.Cat Smells and the Crawl Space [03:04]Three confirmed cats, possibly four, had been using the dirt crawl space as a litter box for three or four years. The crawl space starts at about two feet of clearance and drops to six to eight inches near the outer walls -- full belly-crawl territory. Caleb suited up with a respirator, goggles, a painter's suit, and a child's garden rake with four metal prongs that he says will remain in a place of honor in the basement indefinitely. It goes with him before the fishing poles if there's ever a fire.He went through the crawl space with enzymatic cleaner -- but the first jug he bought was formulated for outdoor use, and it didn't make a dent on the smell. He went back to the store, found a cat-specific enzymatic formula, and ended up buying about eight small spray bottles to fill a pressurized sprayer. That worked. A dehumidifier finished the job on the residual musty smell -- now when you open the basement door, it just smells like a normal old stone basement.On enzymatic cleaners: Use a formula specifically designed for the type of odor you're dealing with. Outdoor or general-purpose formulas may not be strong enough for concentrated pet waste. Cat-specific formulas are made for exactly this situation.On crawl space odors: Garden lime thrown down on a dirt crawl space can help neutralize pH and absorb lingering smells after the source is removed.Sealing Odor Hotspots [07:02]There was a small alcove near the stairs where foam gym flooring had soaked up years of cat urine. Caleb pulled it up and needed to seal the subfloor underneath before putting anything new down.The right product for this kind of situation is a shellac-based primer like BIN -- it seals odors and dries fast. Dan didn't have any shellac on hand, but he did have an old can of oil-based polyurethane that tested out fine, and for a clear coat application it worked well. The key advantage of a clear coat over a pigmented primer in odor situations: pigment can leave microscopic paths for odor to work through. A clear film seals more completely. Caleb put new subfloor down over the top and sealed that too.Squirrel in the Ceiling [09:26]The home inspection had flagged a squirrel living above the breezeway entry. The smell coming out of that space was serious enough that Dan wasn't sure it would ever clear up. Caleb got the squirrel out, sealed the entry point, and eventually pulled down the ceiling to assess the damage -- and found something more significant than anyone expected.The squirrel had chewed through the outer jacket on two sets of wires, exposing bare copper hot, neutral, and ground conductors. There was visible charring around the wiring. The breaker had tripped on one of Dan's early walkthroughs; at the time nobody knew why. The wiring had apparently been in this condition long enough that it's surprising no fire resulted.Caleb rewired the affected circuits and closed everything up properly. Point worth keeping: if animals get into a wall or ceiling space and stay there, wiring damage is a real possibility. It's not just a smell and mess problem. If you know or suspect animals have been living in a structural space, the wiring in that area is worth checking before you close it back up.Dead Possum Under the Floor [12:54]After the squirrel situation was resolved, the entry still smelled. As the weather warmed up, it got worse. Caleb pulled up a damaged section of subfloor near the breezeway door, expecting to find the water damage he'd spotted -- and found a dead, decomposing possum that had apparently gotten in through the same entry point as the squirrel and not gotten back out.He called his best friend, who arrived with a square shovel and leather gloves. The possum got a burial in the backyard. The subfloor was treated with enzymatic cleaner, the entry point sealed, and the floor rebuilt.Dan's contribution to the discovery call: asking whether Caleb was sure it was dead, and suggesting he try touching its eye to confirm. Caleb reported there was no eye. Dan agreed that was probably a reliable indicator.First Time Painting [15:22]Caleb had essentially never painted before -- Dan had handed him a brush with no paint on it as a kid and sent him into another room. This house was his real introduction.The biggest struggle was cutting in at the ceiling line without tape. He and his brother Andrew started by eye on the first room and the difference in their speed was immediate and obvious -- Andrew was moving at several times Caleb's pace, and Caleb's edges were rough. The key things Caleb took away from the experience:A good brush matters more than most people realize going in. People often reach for tiny brushes thinking more control, but a quality full-size brush is easier to work with, not harder. Practice builds speed and confidence faster than expected -- Andrew went from nervous to confident within a month of his first exterior painting summer. And the work itself is harder than it looks when someone skilled does it in front of you.Andrew ended up painting most of the house -- the kitchen, dining room, living room, and upstairs. Caleb handled a fair amount of the cutting in and ceiling work.Color Choices and Coverage [19:27]Caleb's fiancée Melanie handled all the interior color selections, which Caleb describes as a great decision. Dan had expected conservative colors based on Caleb's personality and was surprised to get a list of deep, saturated choices -- a near-teal green, dark forest tones, rich colors throughout. His instinct was that deep colors would require multiple coats to cover the lighter existing walls.They used RepcoLite Optima, and the coverage surprised Dan enough that he brought it up on air. Deep colors don't naturally hide better just because they have more pigment -- the colorant system and the base paint matter. Optima's combination of formula and colorant system delivered coverage close to what you'd hope for after one coat, and two coats finished the job cleanly.The favorite room is the living room, painted in Yorktown Green -- a deep blue-green Benjamin Moore color that reads almost like a rich teal. They had originally planned a different color and switched at the last minute. It turned out to be everyone's favorite.One Coat vs. Two [23:06]Even when one coat coverage looks surprisingly good -- and in this case it did -- two coats is always the right call. The second coat evens out color uniformity, improves sheen consistency, eliminates lap marks and differences between brushed and rolled areas, and builds the film thickness the paint was designed to have. Durability depends on having enough coating on the surface.Ceiling Paint Lesson [23:47]Caleb chose a creamy, slightly warm off-white for the ceilings rather than straight white. Dan went with bright white on his own ceiling at home and regrets it -- it reads as plasticky and a little harsh compared to a softer white. The warmer ceiling tone makes the rooms feel finished rather than clinical. Dan says he's living with it but won't make that choice again.Painting angled ceilings with a hip roof is harder than flat ceilings. The angles create back strain and make it difficult to track where you've been. On flat ceilings, working in a consistent grid pattern and watching for the shine of wet paint to see where you've covered is the practical method.Vanity Project and Ebonizing [25:50]Caleb is in the store today to pick up primer for a bathroom vanity he's painting. He had tried ebonizing the wood first -- a technique where you soak steel wool in vinegar for
For most of the last forty years, irritable bowel syndrome was treated as a problem of the gut alone. The idea that the brain plays a central role took decades to gain acceptance, and it remains contested today.In this episode of The Mind-Gut Conversation, Dr. Mayer is joined by Dr. Erin Mauney, a pediatric gastroenterologist and researcher at Harvard and Massachusetts General Hospital, who has completed one of the first clinical trials of psilocybin-assisted therapy for patients with treatment-resistant IBS.They discuss why a compound acting primarily on the brain might change how the gut is experienced, what happens when the brain's prediction machinery becomes locked into a cycle of pain and anticipation, and why the therapy surrounding the dosing sessions may matter as much as the molecule itself.The conversation also takes on the harder questions. How do you run a placebo-controlled trial when every participant knows they received the drug? Can the psychedelic experience be engineered out of psychedelic medicine, and what is lost if it is? And what can practices used ritually for millennia still teach a reductionist Western model of care?This is early-stage science, and Dr. Mauney is refreshingly clear about the limits of what is currently known. It is also a glimpse at what the next chapter of brain-gut medicine might look like.Topics discussed include:• Why IBS is best understood as a disorder of gut-brain interaction• How the brain's predictive coding can become locked into chronic pain• What psilocybin-assisted therapy actually involves, session by session• Whether the psychedelic experience itself is essential to the benefit• The placebo problem in psychedelic trials, and why it may be unsolvable• How long the benefits appear to last after treatment ends• Where psychedelic research in gastroenterology may be headedThis is a careful, evidence-based conversation for anyone interested in IBS, chronic pain, and the future of brain-gut medicine.Chapters:0:00 - Introduction3:23 - IBS as a Brain-Gut Disorder7:40 - Entering Psychedelic Research13:22 - How Psilocybin Could Affect the Gut15:43 - Inside the Trial17:50 - The Brain and Pain Prediction21:18 - Side Effects and Patient Experience25:40 - Does the Psychedelic Experience Matter?29:57 - Ritual and Western Medicine32:15 - The Placebo Question36:33 - Combining Therapies39:10 - Brain Imaging40:56 - Practical Challenges44:07 - Durability of Benefits47:23 - Overlap With Other Conditions49:28 - Where the Research Goes Next54:11 - Looking Ahead

Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) eliminated those tax credits. How much damage did that do to the overall trajectory of clean energy in the post-Trump world? A new research commentary argues that the damage was less than many had feared and that the road forward for clean energy is less about restoring those credits than about easing the permitting and interconnection constraints inhibiting renewable energy. Today I talk with author Lily Bermel about the modeling her commentary is based on and the somewhat controversial conclusions she draws from it.Chapters:00:00 The IRA, the OBBBA, and the case for optimism03:25 OBBBA - Why Bermel ran the analysis05:50 The headline numbers: 74, 71, 6708:07 Decomposing clean: solar and batteries hold, wind takes the hit12:14 The lag analysis, and the 'glass half full' perspective15:27 2.8 gigatons, and losses you can't get back18:01 The third scenario, and Trump I versus Trump II21:49 What the model leaves out: manufacturing, LPO, loans23:07 Interior's permitting campaign against wind and solar27:22 The demand surge and behind-the-meter gas32:15 Nuclear restarts, geothermal, and clean firm35:31 Booms, busts, and the electrification wave42:22Transmission, interconnection, and the ceiling46:41 Tax credits versus permitting reform51:46 Durability, polarization, and preemptive surrender60:01 Can enough storage make renewables firm?66:48 Grid utilization versus building new grid70:52 Final reflections: 2021, and what Bermel would do with a trifecta

A century-old tech company just took a gut punch from Wall Street. A century-old oil giant hasn't had an exciting headline in years. Ten years from now, which one do you actually want to own?In this episode, Greg takes the long view on two very different dividend payers. The first is IBM ($IBM), a stock that ran from the low $200s to a high near $325 over the past year as its quantum computing story caught fire. It then dropped back to around $205 after disappointing contract delays spooked the market. Greg walks through why the selloff isn't the end of the story: IBM's debt has improved, revenue is growing again after years of stagnation, and at roughly 17 times earnings, he argues investors are no longer paying for the quantum computing option.The second is Chevron ($CVX), a stock with none of IBM's drama and, in Greg's view, almost all of the certainty. Diversified across exploration, refining, and chemicals, with a dividend track record that held even when oil prices went negative in 2020, Chevron represents a different kind of long-term bet. It's not a call option on a breakthrough, but a compounding cash flow machine that is also a quiet beneficiary of AI.Two very different companies, one shared idea: real wealth is built by holding through the boring years, not by chasing the exciting ones.TOPICS COVERED[00:41] Introduction: Two Long-Term Stories, Two Different Bets [03:04] IBM ($IBM): From Story Stock to Speed Bump [04:47] Inside IBM's Business: Software, Consulting, and Red Hat [08:41] The Quantum Computing Bet Behind the Stock [13:44] IBM's 10-Year Dividend Growth Math [16:24] Chevron ($CVX): The Cash Flow Machine [18:17] Chevron's Dividend Track Record and Financial Strength [20:40] Diversification: Upstream, Downstream, and Chemicals [21:15] Chevron as a Natural Gas and AI Play [23:49] Why Chevron Over Exxon ($XOM)?

Today, Pastor Jack teaches us that we need to resist false doctrine and fight against evil in our world. As believers, we can't just be spectators while darkness advances around us. Instead, we're called to stand firm on God's Word, even when it's hard or unpopular.
Today, Pastor Jack teaches that we must consider what's at stake. Our faith in Jesus Christ is the most valuable thing we have, and everything else in life depends on it. When we understand the eternal significance of staying faithful, it changes how we approach every challenge.

Matt Risinger explores one of the most misunderstood topics in building science: vapor control. Sponsored by Huber Engineered Woods, the episode explains why managing moisture is less about stopping vapor and more about preventing condensation inside building assemblies. Using a replay from the Building Science 101 series with Steve Baczek, Matt breaks down how vapor moves through walls, roofs, and floors, why climate and material selection matter, and how builders can make smarter decisions about vapor retarders and air barriers. The conversation focuses on practical building science principles that improve durability, moisture management, and long-term building performance rather than relying on outdated rules of thumb.

Fifty years ago the U.S. government classified it alongside heroin: no accepted medical use, high potential for abuse, illegal in most of the world. The peer-reviewed data now coming out of Johns Hopkins, Imperial College, and Nature tells a different story, one that has some of the most credentialled neuroscientists alive rethinking how the brain heals. In this episode, Louisa breaks down exactly what psilocybin does to your neurons, why it works where antidepressants stall for decades, and where the research is heading right now. She walks through the default mode network, the self-referential system that turns rigid and hyperactive in depression, and the 2024 Nature study that described psilocybin's effect on it as "massive" disruption. You'll hear how a single dose drove a measurable jump in dendritic spine density within 24 hours, why psilocin binds the TRKB receptor 300 times more strongly than any conventional antidepressant, and how Robin Carhart-Harris's head-to-head trial against escitalopram produced more than double the remission rate. Then she turns to addiction, where psilocybin-assisted therapy reached an 80% smoking abstinence rate at six months in the Johns Hopkins pilot, more than double the best medication available today. She covers the risks the drug-war narrative leaves out, the hard contraindications around psychosis and cardiac history, the April 2026 executive order that accelerated federal review, and why the quality of the subjective experience, measured on the Mystical Experience Questionnaire, may matter to the outcome as much as the molecule itself. You'll also hear about the desynchronization event and what fills the space when the network goes offline, BDNF and how it stacks up against high-intensity exercise, the alcohol and opioid data, HPPD, Australia's 2023 reclassification, Oregon and Colorado's state access frameworks, and why set and setting may be active ingredients in how the treatment works.

Ross explains why you have to drain the anaerobic battery before the 20 minute test, why pacing a time trial on your own is harder than you think, and why the biggest limitation in the study might not be physiologyThe World Cup is into the knockout rounds and listener Robert Ridley has done the maths on whether teams that go to extra time are at a disadvantage in the next game. The answer might be yes, about 1.5x more likely to lose if they play a team who hadn't had ET the game before, but we discover the confounding factor that complicates that findingA proposal resurfaced on Discourse and social media this week for a structural fix to extra time football, one that involves running the penalty shootout before the 30 minutes rather than after it. Ross explains where the idea came from, what the data says about goals in extra time, and why football fans on social media were not especially receptiveMoving onto athletics, Audrey Werro ran 1:53.80 in Paris, another personal best that edges her closer to the oldest WR in the sport, but we explain why the record attempt fell short, and what her split data tells you about the mindset that Werro and Hodgkinson need to bring to their races to really threaten the WR.

The internet reacted badly, including a memorable contribution from Johan Bruyneel. We make the case that smaller teams might actually create more dynamic racing and more opportunities for smaller squads, with the acceptance that there are economic factors in play.

New day, same great conversations. Catch new episodes of SUPERLATIVE every Wednesday!On this episode of SUPERLATIVE, aBlogtoWatch founder and our host Ariel Adams is joined by Nathan Clapp, founder of Wraven Labs, to explore the intersection of product design, watch collecting, and entrepreneurship. Drawing on his experience working on the Apple Watch and his passion for thoughtful industrial design, Nathan shares how a simple frustration while driving inspired the creation of the Wing One, a purpose built accessory designed to protect both watches and vehicles. The conversation dives into what it takes to bring a niche physical product to life, from prototyping and manufacturing to branding and storytelling.Nathan and Ariel also discuss why watch enthusiasts are drawn to craftsmanship, precision, and products that elevate the ownership experience. They explore the psychology of collecting, the importance of designing products that solve real problems, and how thoughtful presentation can be just as important as the product itself. Nathan also offers a look at Wraven Labs' next accessory venture, his approach to building a brand with long term value, and why creating something you are genuinely proud of matters more than chasing quick commercial success.Learn more about Wraven Labs:- Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/wravenlabs - Website - https://www.wravenlabs.com/ SUPERLATIVE IS NOW ON YOUTUBE!

Price increases ranged from $30 to as much as $1,300, while iPhones, AirPods, Studio Display, and accessories were left unchanged for now. Apple also brought back the 256GB Mac mini at a higher $799 price.Those same component costs could lead to significant iPhone 18 Pro price increases this fall. Industry estimates suggest Apple may need to raise prices by around $270 to maintain margins, with the iPhone 18 Pro potentially starting around $1,399 and the Pro Max around $1,499, partly due to more expensive camera hardware.The iPhone 18 Pro is expected to retain its aluminum design while introducing new colors, including a signature Dark Cherry finish, though reports suggest the finishes could be prone to chipping similar to last year's models.Apple is still expected to launch the iPhone 18 lineup alongside its first foldable iPhone, tentatively called the iPhone Ultra, in September. The foldable is rumored to feature a 7.8-inch inner display, 5.5-inch outer display, A20 chip, C2 modem, Touch ID, dual rear cameras, and a starting price around $2,000.The episode also covers rumors that the Apple Watch Ultra 4 and Apple Watch Series 12 will debut this fall with faster processors and new watch faces in watchOS 27.Finally, Apple has reportedly delayed its camera-equipped AirPods to 2027. Rather than taking photos or videos, the embedded cameras will feed visual information to Siri for object recognition, contextual assistance, reminders, and navigation. The delay is reportedly due to Apple's ongoing AI development challenges.00:51 Apple Price Hikes Overview 02:00 iPhone 18 Price Hike Expectations 03:58 RAM/Storage Cost Breakdown 09:36 Why Upgrading Yearly Isn't Necessary 11:49 When Could Price Hikes Hit? 16:30 Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 Rumors 21:05 Apple Watch Health Features and Market Plateau 24:24 Should Apple Slow Down Annual Watch Releases? 33:18 iPhone 18 Pro: Colors and Durability 34:50 Foldable iPhone Launch Timing and Demand 38:11 AirPods With Cameras
The excitement is back in Miami after the Heat's blockbuster acquisition of Giannis Antetokounmpo, and the conversation quickly turns to just how dangerous this new-look roster can be. The guys discuss Giannis' durability and whether his physical style of play should ease concerns about long-term health, while also debating if Miami now boasts the best defensive team in the NBA. With Giannis joining a culture built around toughness and accountability, the crew explores the Heat's realistic championship ceiling, where they stack up against the rest of the Eastern Conference, and what additional moves Pat Riley could make to complete the roster. The consensus: Miami is officially back in the title conversation

Most serious cyclists ride their easy days a little too hard. A new study suggests that costs you fatigue and recovery without buying any extra fitness.20 trained amateur runners, matched for volume, trained for six weeks either at the top of the moderate domain or 10 to 15 percent below it. Both groups improved by the same amount, but the higher group paid more in perceived effort and recovery.

The pros are reportedly fuelling with 120 grams of carbohydrate an hour. A new Sports Medicine paper, "Fuelled or Fooled?", asks whether the evidence supports it. For most riders, the short answer is no. We break down what the research actually shows, why anything past 90 grams an hour mostly just sits in your gut, and what to do with your own fuelling.Study: Plews DJ, Booth PD, Krieger T, Maunder E.

On this episode of the Build Show podcast, host Matt Risinger sits down with Jim Gunn of South Pass Design Build in San Antonio, Texas — the builder behind the Build Show's live tour house. The conversation centers on the newly developed Build HD standard, a streamlined framework that builds on code to prioritize water management, air control, structural performance, and durability. Jim explains how the standard helps translate complex building science into clear expectations for trades and design decisions, from mechanical room placement to monopoly framing using Huber ZIP System sheathing. The two dig into why building to code alone isn't enough, and how thoughtful systems thinking from the design phase forward leads to homes built to last. Huge thanks to our episode sponsor, Pella.

The guys discuss Mike's last minute registration for Rockford 70.3 and the concept of jumping into a race on a whim. They go through the challenges but mostly the benefits and why he'll approach it more like a practice test than a training day. There's a lot to be said for feeling the race environment. The nerves, the speed, and the race energy. It's all waiting and it will be a great 10,000 foot view for an A-Race later in the season. Topics: Why Mike ultimately signed up The approach without a typical build and taper Pacing and racing test Durability check in Why it's a good idea to jump in late What will be the challenges Staying calm when swept up in competition Rockford's course and strategies What can be learned for Ironman later in the year Approaching the swim, bike, and run Staying under control but flirting with edges A $500 triathlon immersion seminar Mike Tarrolly - mike@c26triathlon.com Robbie Bruce - robbie@c26triathlon.com

What do shoppers actually want in 2026? Do brand vibe, culture, and ethos matter more than the clothes? Is experience-based fashion just better marketing? And what does “integrated fashion” look like when your wardrobe is built around music, sports, clubs, video games, vintage, coffee shops, and the internet?On this episode of Pair of Kings, Sol Thompson and Michael Smith break down the largest survey they've run on fashion preferences, shopping habits, and taste: 1,500+ responses on how people look for, select and justify clothing today. The duo use the season's thesis of “integrated fashion” to interrogate why brand culture matters, how shoppers decide between buying piece-by-piece vs building a full aesthetic, why brand storytelling still works, and what makes a fashion brand captivating enough to hold an audience.We get into Rick Owens, Kozaburo, Rolling Dub Trio, Lost Control cowboy boots, Undercover, Comme des Garçons, Celine, Hedi Slimane, CC41 wartime tailoring, vintage band tees, Bruce Springsteen shirts, KMFDM, Electronic Research Department / ERD, Daft Punk, and controversy-driven fashion marketing.Sol and Michael also discuss Everlane's sale to Shein, sustainability fatigue, ethical fashion, cost per wear, quality vs longevity, resale liquidity, wardrobe economics, consumer inequality, and why the modern fashion industry is selling lifestyles as much as clothing. Further, they ask what sparks the desire to buy: Honey Dijon at Coachella, Saturday Night Fever, The Batman motorcycle jackets, FKA twigs, Interplanetary Criminal, video games, old magazines, X-Files tees, Julian Carter, and archive fashion grails.Other topics include: NYC summer style, Havaianas and flip-flop discourse, Birkenstocks without socks, finance guys in Lululemon khakis and On Running shoes, Kangol hats, men's matching sets, white jeans, World Cup style, vintage soccer jerseys, Newcastle kits, Nike Total 90s, Puma Speedcats, Big Red Boots, brand pop-ups, shock drops, fashion coffee shops, Instagram style discovery, raves, punk shows, clubs, flea markets, Harajuku, Santee Alley, gay clubs, furries, online fashion communities, The Devil Wears Prada 2, whether good marketing can compensate for bad clothes. We hope you enjoy just as much as we did recording.Lots of love!Sol---Episode Tags: fashion podcast 2026, integrated fashion, fashion survey, menswear, streetwear, high fashion, archive fashion, shopping habits, brand culture, experience-based fashion, Rick Owens, Kozaburo, Everlane Shein, sustainable fashion, vintage fashion, World Cup jerseys, Nike Total 90, Puma Speedcat, Celine #fashion #fashionpodcast #rickowens #archivefashion TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 — Intro: 1,300+ Person Integrated Fashion Survey 1:09 — Sol & Michael Introduce the Episode 1:53 — New York Summer Fashion and the Style Reset 2:23 — Fit Check: Birkenstocks, Kapital Denim & Vintage Bruce Springsteen Tee 6:37 — KMFDM Shirt, Vintage T-Shirt Care & Washing Old Tees 7:14 — ERD Daft Punk Shirt, Vintage Resale & Controversial Fashion Marketing 11:42 — NYC Summer Style: Flip-Flops, Havaianas & Birkenstocks 16:27 — Finance Guy Fits: On Running, Lululemon Khakis & No-Show Socks 18:07 — Kangol Hats, Lower East Side Trends & One-Weekend Menswear Fads 20:22 — Matching Sets and Summer 2026 Menswear Predictions 21:16 — White Jeans, Vintage Soccer Jerseys & World Cup Style 25:05 — Everlane, Shein and the Future of Ethical Fashion 26:29 — Sustainability Fatigue and Rick Owens Sustainable Cotton 27:23 — Consumer Economics: Who Fashion Brands Actually Sell To 29:15 — AI Data Centers, Consumption and Environmental Cost 31:10 — Fashion Survey Begins: How Young Shoppers Buy Clothes 32:07 — Do Brand Vibe, Culture and Ethos Matter? 32:44 — Rick Owens, Kozaburo and Buying Into Brand Worlds 35:17 — Wardrobe Building: Piece-by-Piece vs Full Aesthetic 36:06 — Rick Owens Harness Boots and Buying in a Vacuum 40:03 — UJ Militaria, CC41 Wartime Blazer & Archive Menswear 43:00 — Brand Storytelling: Undercover, Sustainability and Fashion Narrative 45:24 — What People Consider Before Buying Clothes 46:14 — Cost Per Wear Debate 50:15 — Sustainability, Ethics, Price, Fit, Resale Liquidity & Durability 52:16 — What Makes People Want to Buy Clothing? 52:41 — Honey Dijon, Coachella, Saturday Night Fever & Cultural Inspiration 56:09 — CDG, Archive Fashion and Mental Catalogs of Grails 56:42 — FKA Twigs, Interplanetary Criminal, Video Games & Fashion Inspiration 57:39 — Do Fashion Influencers Actually Influence Fashion People? 59:38 — The Batman, Motorcycle Jackets & Style Obsession 1:01:13 — Hedi Slimane's Celine “The Dancing Kid” Beanie 1:03:15 — Experience-Based Fashion: Drops, Pop-Ups, Coffee Shops & Activations 1:06:02 — Influencer Gifting, Clothing Waste & FOMO Marketing 1:08:41 — Big Red Boots, Puma Speedcats & Hype Products That Disappear 1:10:01 — Nike Total 90, Slim Soccer Sneakers & Footwear Trends 1:10:20 — Where People Experience Fashion: Raves, Flea Markets, Clubs & Coffee Shops 1:13:37 — Instagram as a Fashion Scene and Style Discovery Tool 1:17:44 — Clubs, Raves and the Anti-Commercial Fashion Scene 1:19:04 — Song of the Week 1:21:58 — The Devil Wears Prada 2, Fashion Movies & Reboot Culture 1:26:37 — Speed Racer, Style Nostalgia & Closing Thoughts 1:26:59 — Outro #FashionPodcast, #Menswear, #Streetwear, #Fashion, #Style, #FashionCulture, #FashionCommunity, #FashionDiscussion, #FashionAnalysis, #FashionCommentary, #MensFashion, #MensStyle, #ArchiveFashion, #FashionArchive, #VintageFashion, #FashionHistory, #DesignerFashion, #LuxuryFashion, #FashionResearch, #FashionWriting, #IntegratedFashion, #FashionTheory, #FashionConsumer, #FashionShopping, #FashionTrends, #FashionIndustry, #FashionMarketing, #BrandCulture, #FashionConsumerBehavior, #FutureOfFashion, #RickOwens, #CommeDesGarcons, #Undercover, #HediSlimane Sol Thompson and Michael Smith explore the world and subcultures of fashion, interviewing creators, personalities, and industry insiders to highlight the new vanguard of the fashion world.
