Jim Hill and Eric Hersey dig into a newly surfaced Universal guest survey that hints at Epic Universe joining the resort's Annual Pass lineup — and what that could mean for crowds, pricing, and park strategy. Plus, Jim shares a real-life road trip saga straight out of a Hallmark movie, and the guys unpack Universal's latest headlines from Orlando to Hollywood. NEWS A listener-sent Universal survey suggests Epic Universe may soon be included in AP tiers. Comcast's Q3 results show a 19% jump in theme park revenue, driven by Epic's first full quarter. The Burning Blade Tavern's fire effect goes dark — and fans dub it “The Invisible Blade.” Jim explains why Spider-Man still appears in Universal marketing — thanks to a contract clause requiring 20% Marvel representation in Islands of Adventure ads. Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz return for a brand-new Mummy sequel, proving Universal's monster legacy isn't dead yet. FEATUREJim continues his deep dive into Universal's ill-fated Dark Universe — the studio's ambitious attempt to build a monster-filled cinematic universe. From Dracula Untold to The Mummy (2017), discover how even A-list stars and big budgets couldn't resurrect the undead franchise.

Stephanie Miller discusses the GOP following their disappointing election performance. She's not just laughing at them, though—she's analyzing their full-blown post-defeat meltdown and figuring out what their frantic finger-pointing means for the rest of us. Looking at the economy, Stephanie draws some alarming, must-know parallels to the 2008 Great Recession, breaking down the recent surge in high-profile layoffs and what it signals for your bottom line. She also tackles President Trump's frankly bananas attempts to deflect blame after the election, putting his recent economic denialism under the comedy-driven microscope it deserves. With guests political strategist Mike Nellis and the hilarious comedian Dana Goldberg!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Send us a textDrive change through leadership, not title. In this bold episode, we get honest about the illusion of “psychological safety” and why so many teams talk about it but don't live it. Together, we break down what true safety looks like, how to lead yourself when your environment feels toxic, and why real growth starts long before your boss catches on. This one's for every quiet leader ready to stop waiting for permission and start setting the tone. We're not here to fix the system. We're here to rewrite it.

In 2006, Epic Games released Gears of War, a brutal and cinematic reinvention of the third-person shooter. In this episode, we trace Cliff Bleszinski's journey from teenage shareware designer to creative director at Epic, and how his vision helped transform a scrapped Unreal prototype into one of gaming's most iconic franchises. We explore the birth of the Lancer, the evolution of cover-based combat, and how Epic's technical mastery of Unreal Engine 3 changed console gaming forever. Our conversation covers Gears' critical and commercial success, its influence on modern shooters, and how it became a defining moment for the Xbox 360. Join us as we reload, rev up, and fight through the Locust Horde on today's trip down Memory Card Lane.Read transcript

Send us a textA free weekend turns into a story: cactus fruit from work becomes jam and barbecue sauce, and a “simple” gasket swap on an old Silverado turns into an eight-hour oil-soaked odyssey. From there we jump straight into games—Arc Raiders is buzzing, but does the launch glow last, or are we just replaying the rise-then-slide pattern we've seen since The Division? We break down what makes extraction shooters stick, from social friction to smart roadmaps, and why “fun day one” doesn't guarantee a healthy month three.Travel takes the mic with a candid TwitchCon recap: short lines, solid demos, welcome swag, and a sobering look at security. Ten years in, how do pat-downs, bag checks, and trained staff still feel optional? We talk simple safety habits that anyone can pack—plan exits, keep your head up, carry what's legal and practical—without turning joy into paranoia. Because cons should be vibrant, not vulnerable.Hardware heads will love our hands-on with the ROG Ally X. Think Xbox-controller comfort, Windows flexibility, one-terabyte storage, and 24 GB of RAM in a portable you actually want to use. Yes, Windows updates, fan noise, and battery trade-offs are real, but playing across Steam, Epic, Battle.net, and Xbox without hacks is liberating. It's not about “Steam Deck bad” or “Ally perfect.” It's about friction-free libraries and gaming wherever you land.We close on Bethesda, Fallout Day, and a missed layup. With the show thriving and New Vegas energy building, why not time a remaster or upgrade to meet fans where they are? Merch is cool; momentum is better. We're asking for a roadmap, not a miracle. Also on the docket: AI turning 21 Questions into a velvet ballad that somehow works, and a frank talk about tech career whiplash, certs vs degrees, and finding a path that actually pays off.If this resonates, tap follow, share the episode with a friend, and drop a review with your pick: Steam Deck, ROG Ally X, or wait for the next wave? https://www.carolinaotakus.com/

Peso Pluma BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Peso Pluma is everywhere right now and the last few days have just added new chapters to his swiftly expanding story. On October 25 at ComplexCon in Las Vegas, Peso Pluma made genuine history as the first regional Mexican artist to ever perform at this major cultural festival, a breakthrough that headlines have hailed as both a genre-defining moment and a sign that Mexican music is truly global. The festival, attended by 70,000 fans according to News 3 Las Vegas, featured performances from stars like Young Thug, Yeat, and Central Cee, but it was Peso's set that helped redefine the weekend, solidifying his place not only as a star but as a trailblazer for Latino artists in cross-genre spaces. ComplexCon gave out exclusive GAS trading cards featuring Peso Pluma and other performers, capturing his live energy in collectibles now coveted by fans.While at ComplexCon, Peso Pluma also paired up with Cymbiotika Wellness Bar for a full-on business and celebrity wellness moment. Cymbiotika launched a signature Peso Pluma smoothie at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas, described by Resident and Travel and Tour World as a nutrient-rich blend tailored to reflect his lifestyle and his commitment to performance and health. The launch saw devoted fans lining up for the first taste, branded merch, and a coveted meet-and-greet with the artist and his manager, George Prajin, who happens to be an investor in Cymbiotika. The collaboration underlined how Peso's profile now transcends music, weaving him into wellness, hospitality, and luxury—each appearance amplifying his global influence and signaling a shift in how celebrity partnerships shape both brands and cultural identity. The smoothie event's coverage emphasized Cymbiotika's aim to merge wellness and pop culture authentically, and Peso Pluma's own words at the debut—about balance and energy—struck a chord with fans following his intense performance schedule.On social media, Peso Pluma's ComplexCon history-making performance and business collaborations have been the talk of fan accounts and influencers. He remains one of Mexico's top-followed musicians, constantly referenced by major Instagram accounts, with collaborations and milestone mentions popping up across TikTok and Instagram—especially in connection with events like Belicofest, the November 8-9 regional Mexican festival in Arizona where fans anticipate yet another big moment for Peso Pluma amid the genre's stateside boom.Looking ahead, while some buzz surrounds personal matters—rumors swirl about his long-term relationship status and digital cleanups by previous partners, notably singer Nicki Nicole, per Hola—those haven't been substantiated and remain speculation. As of now, the story of Peso Pluma in the past few days is epic new performances, entrepreneurial partnerships, and an escalating cultural narrative that makes him not just a music superstar but also a lifestyle influencer whose moves point to greater things on the horizon.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Welcome to Episode 246! We recap some fun Biblioadventures in this episode. Emily got to see Mel Rosenthal in conversation with Virginia Evans about her debut novel The Correspondent at an event hosted by RJ Julia Booksellers. Chris had a research visit to Columbia University's Rare Book and Manuscript Library, where she enjoyed their book arts exhibit and admired the mantel in front of which Edgar Allan Poe wrote “The Raven.” She also had an impromptu browse at New Haven's used bookstore, Grey Matter Books. We also had some Couch Biblioadventures. Because we recently read Daphne Du Maurier's excellent short story, “The Birds,” we thought we'd also watch Alfred Hitchcock's movie of the same name, which was inspired by the written word. Spoiler alert: the movie is nothing like the short story. PSA: the birds are LOUD. Other literary-related movies we watched include The Turn of the Screw, starring Michelle Dockery and Dan Stephens. Emily made an exciting discovery about A Star is Born—did you know some famous writers penned the screenplays for various incarnations of this classic story? Some of the books we discuss include: – All the Beauty in the World: The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Me by Patrick Bringley – Amelia Bloomer: Journalist, Suffragist, Anti-Fashion Icon by Sara Catterall – Death at the Door: A Ruby and Cordelia Mystery by Olivia Blacke – A Marriage at Sea: A True Story of Love, Obsession, and Shipwreck by Sophie Elmhurst And we discuss our second-to-last ghost story from The Penguin Book of Ghost Stories: From Elizabeth Gaskell to Ambrose Bierce: “The Readjustment” by Mary Austin. Chris has finished, and Emily is currently reading our Q4 readalong book, How to Sell a Haunted House by Grady Hendrix. The Zoom conversation is on Sunday, November 9th, at 7 pm ET. It is free and open to all, but registration is required. We still have a few spots available, so email us if you're interested (bookcougars@gmail.com).

BT and Sal unleash a fiery critique of the Giants' leadership, reacting to reports that ownership might split the ticket and keep either Brian Daboll or Joe Schoen. The hosts vehemently argue that both have failed and deserve to be fired, calling a split decision an "epic disaster." Sal makes the case that if he had to keep one, it would be Daboll due to his work in developing quarterback Jaxson Dart, but questions why Schoen is reportedly favored by ownership despite the team's disastrous record, especially against NFC East rivals. The debate escalates as they discuss the danger of letting Schoen make trade deadline moves and demand that ownership make a decisive move now to start a true culture reset.

Imagine a spherical cow… That's an old physics joke about how perfect mathematical models often don't fit with reality. You have to simplify and abstract things. People wrongly imagine that the universe is built out of maths and think that natural phenomena follow the laws of physics in an elegant way… this is not quite true, mathematical models and physical laws are abstractions and simplified models that sort of match with reality but never completely because the macro scale reality we experience is ultimately the result of what happens on the quantum level and the relationship between those two is very hard to figure out. We HAVE to simplify concepts in order to communicate about them, the trouble is that this leads to errors and stupid ideas because people base their reasoning on those simplified versions of concepts. You get a lot of dumb ideas that are based on a kernel of truth but aren't really true and become more false the more you try and use them in the real world, like: you get tetanus from rust, heat rises, you can get a cold from going to bed with wet hair or standing in the rain, gender is simply male or female, comics and cartoons are just for kids etc. This has always interested me because we have a lot of idiotic ideas that are common in culture and I've always wondered where they come from and why they hang around- it's not because people are stupid, it's because communication requires us to shorten things down. The trouble comes when we don't allow for that and just take those simple versions as if that's all there is to it. Like people who get tetanus vaccinations whenever they get scratched with something rusty for example- Tetanus is horrible and can kill you but rust doesn't cause it; rather it's a bacteria that lives in soil, usually around animal dung, so places like farms. The reason people think rust is a source is because rusty nails that have been in the ground on a farm will cut you and will most likely give you tetanus, but so will a stick, a bit of bone, or even a cut caused by ANYTHING at all that you happen to get dirt in. You will probably never get tetanus from scratch from anything rusty in an old workshop, on the road, at the beach and so on. Most people's ideas about evolution are wrong: it's not about "survival of the fittest" or simple things to complex things or about progress towards a goal or perfection, there's no such thing a "the next strep in evolution" or something that is "more evolved" than something else. Evolution is the process of change over time driven by circumstance- that is a simplified explanation but more accurate than some others. Changes that work better in certain situations can hang around and influence further change. They're not part of a positive progression, in fact they can lead to extinction for many reasons. In the Quackcast we try and take this topic back to fiction, covering ideas like "cartoons are just for kids". This idea probably stems from the success of Disney and how strongly that was tied to cartons, comics and children's entertainment with Micky Mouse, Donald Duck, Snow White etc. Cartoons and comics were never just for kids in any period, there have always been comics addressing adult concepts like political commentary, eroticism, propaganda, military training and proper weapons usage, and just general adult humour. A survey or anything from Warner Bothers Loony Tunes from the 40s and 50s clearly shows that. The trouble comes when unthinking people let kids have access to any cartoon or comic without supervision or oversight. Or when they try and make rules about comics and cartoons based on the idea that they're "just for kids". Have you been the victim of poor reasoning because someone based their ideas on simplified concepts? Or do you believe them yourself? This week we have a best-off Gunwallace and this time it's the theme to the music we use for our intro - Thrud Goddess Of Thunder - Big fat beats and an epic sound! This one really brings the thunder! It'd be great as the intro tune to a professional wrestling match. It builds anticipation perfectly and really slams home and delivers on its promises.

Jimmy Dore and Reportage author James Corbett discuss a recent conversation on CNBC where the panel discussed the problem of wealth inequality in the United States, and suggest that a civil war between the haves and the have nots may be looming.  Corbett argues that the ruling oligarchs deliberately promote cultural and partisan conflicts to prevent a unified populist movement against systemic corruption and corporate dominance. Both conclude that true change requires unity across political lines and awareness of how mainstream media maintains public division to protect elite interests. Plus segments on a U.S. ambassador slipping up and revealing our REAL objectives in Venezuela and Bill Gates' recent EPIC flip-flop on climate change. Also featuring Kurt Metzger, Mike MacRae and Stef Zamorano. Plus a phone call from Kash Patel!

Mike Macdonald had far more confidence in his team than anyone else entering the 2025 NFL season, and now that confidence is paying off and reigning true, so Brock and Salk talk through it. They then dissect Game 7 of the World Series in which was one of the best baseball games we've ever watched, with the Seahawks emerging victorious to win back-to-back World Series. In Blue 88, topics include what people reached out to Brock about regarding the Seahawks, a major pivot the Seahawks made that hasn't gotten as much buzz and why are the Huskies finally ranked.
