Stemming from the original movie from 1979, the general consensus states that the 2005 rendition is an over exaggeration. I will have to say that I disagree because it has proven to be a terrific movie with fast and furious energy, a lot of jolts that never linger, and the morbidly horrific images anchor the strong characters. One character in specific is Jodie Defeo, played by the talented Isabel Champ Connor who flawlessly delivered her role by submerging herself into this movie.20 years later and this movie still creeps me to the core! I sat down with Isabel to get to know her and what it was like to act in the reboot of the original 1979 film and what he had to say is priceless information. This being her movie debut, I have to say that Isabel was given the role of Jodie Defeo and she delivered! Being only 8 years old, she had to play a pivotal role in the film. Most fans wouldn't know this because in the original 1979 film, Jodie is not what you think she is. However, I am glad the writers made the change, and the director chose Isabel for this movie, it made it much more believable. With that being said, Isabel has landed herself on the paranormal and supernatural map and I am honored to have sat down with her. I hope you enjoy the interview as much as I did, and please follow Isabel on Facebook and let her know how well she did in the movie.

In this episode of VRP Rocks, Paul chats with the voice of Canadian hard rock legends Helix – frontman Brian Vollmer. With a career spanning over 50 years, Helix have lived through the highs and lows of the rock world — and Brian's been there for every single step. From the band's humble beginnings in 1974, through their breakthrough success with Heavy Metal Love, to tours alongside Motörhead, Kiss, Aerosmith and Mötley Crüe — Brian shares it all. You'll hear stories about: The truth behind the story of Michael J. Fox trying out for Helix What it was like touring the U.S. in the '80s with little money but big ambition How “Rock You” almost didn't make the album The chaos around a beer commercial that nearly derailed a hit single And we dig into Helix's brand-new album, Scrap Metal — out January 23rd — including how it evolved from unfinished demos, the emotional ties to late drummer Fritz Hinz, and the stories behind key tracks like “Stuck in the 80s” and “Fast and Furious.” Whether you've followed Helix from the early days or you're just discovering them now, this is a deep, honest and engaging look at one of Canada's hardest-working rock bands — and the man who kept it all going.

The op-eds are flying fast and furious this week. After the Nevada Independent's CEO published a blistering critique of the politicians who bowed out of an Indy event under pressure from Culinary 226, the union used the Indy's own op-ed page to fire back: Maybe you shouldn't have held your event at a union-busting property like Stations Casinos. Co-hosts Dayvid Figler and Sarah Lohman, along with executive producer Sonja Cho Swanson, discuss. Plus, what happens when a gambler who says he was drugged loses big at a casino?

We've been teasing it for weeks now. You loved our Bullitt podcast, so we now present you with another movie breakdown. This time it's from the opposite end of the car movie spectrum: the original The Fast and the Furious from 2001. Alex is joined by Zac, Beck, and Cam to air out their multigenerational viewpoints on this cinematic masterpiece, which was so formative to the automotive pursuits of many of our community members—especially those under, shall we say, "a certain age." The crew discuss how to rank the 11 movies in the oeuvre; the mentality of working with what you have (otherwise known as "run what you brung"); explanations behind some of the cars missing from the F&F roster, and one now missing from history; and the age-old tradition of terrible shifting in car movies.Also covered: the movie's notoriously uneven jargon; a catalog of stacked fender stickers; the modern, OEM-approved version of underglows; what it means to put down 10s in 2025 vs in 2001; an architectural travesty; mermaids; favorite cars from the movie; AI-written characters, 25 years before their time; and yes, even throughlines to other "car movies" like Bullitt and American Graffiti.Links for things mentioned in this episode:09:56  Ex–Paul Walker 2005 Ford GT13:06  From The VIBE Vault: ‘Racer X' (The ‘Fast & Furious' Inspiration)15:59  Craig Lieberman's YouTube channel16:17  fastandfuriousfacts.com45:45  Chrome Cars46:58  The Fast and the Furious–Style 1996 Eagle Talon TSi AWD 5-Speed51:28 Mitsubishi Eclipse, Eagle Talon, & Plymouth Laser model pageGot suggestions for our next guest from the BaT community, One Year Garage episode, or (B)aT the Movies subject?

Cristiano Ronaldo BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Cristiano Ronaldo has spent the past few days doing what he does best: scoring goals, bending the news cycle to his will, and flirting with Hollywood without saying a definitive word. In a midweek friendly for Al Nassr against Al Wahda, match footage and Saudi sports coverage show him opening the scoring and leading the line with the kind of intensity that makes talk of retirement feel almost absurd; the game may have been unofficial, but every goal edges him closer to that long‑discussed 1000‑goal milestone and reinforces his central role in Al Nassr's project. KIANO7HD's detailed highlights of the match underline that this was not a charity jog but another data point in a late‑career surge that could become a key biographical chapter if he sustains it into the 2026 World Cup.Off the pitch, the story that has truly caught fire is pure Hollywood. Marca, Gulf News, Goal and Arab News all report that Vin Diesel posted a photo with Ronaldo on Instagram and confirmed that a role had been “written for him” in the Fast and Furious universe, before quietly editing the caption to remove a specific reference to the Los Bandoleros prequel project. That small edit has blown the doors off speculation that Ronaldo might appear in the upcoming Fast and Furious 11, widely reported as the final main installment of the franchise. Outlets like Times Now and World Soccer Talk note that this single post sent Ronaldo to the top of Google Trends, with social media feeds dissecting every word of Diesel's caption and every pixel of that year‑old photo from their meeting in Saudi Arabia. For now this remains unconfirmed and firmly in the realm of educated gossip: there is no official casting announcement from Universal, Diesel, or Ronaldo's camp, only a heavily scrutinized Instagram tease and the knowledge that a part exists on paper.Layered onto this is the broader media narrative. Fair Observer and other analysis pieces this week frame Ronaldo as a case study in the new media ecosystem: the most followed person on Instagram, a player still scoring for Al Nassr, a likely centerpiece for Portugal at what he has suggested will be his final major tournament in 2026, and now a potential crossover figure for one of Hollywood's biggest action franchises. In the space of a few days he has reminded everyone he is simultaneously an elite athlete, a global brand, and, increasingly, a character whose next move is itself the story.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Justin Lin, known for his work on the Fast and Furious franchise, is officially set to direct Sony Pictures and PlayStation Productions' live-action Helldivers movie. With a script from Gary Dauberman, Lin is reportedly focusing on character, world-building, and thematic depth as he brings the popular Arrowhead Game Studios franchise to film. The long-anticipated Amazon God of War TV series is now moving into pre-production, with Frederick E.O. Toye directing the first two episodes. Casting has begun for Kratos and Atreus, putting to rest ongoing speculation about who will take on the lead roles. Toye's previous work on Shogun, The Boys, Westworld, and Watchmen signals a high-quality adaptation. Meanwhile, recent rumors linking Christopher Judge to the role have been dismissed. A mysterious statue discovered in the Mojave Desert, tied to a teaser from Geoff Keighley, has sparked intense speculation about what game it represents. Fans have theorized connections to God of War, Diablo, Fallout, Doom, Baldur's Gate, and even Half-Life due to nearby road names, but multiple insiders have ruled out several of these possibilities. The statue continues to generate discussion as more clues appear. Industry commentary also includes discussion around claims from HipHopGamer regarding a new PlayStation experience that could feature elements from all generations of PlayStation hardware and include a social component reminiscent of PlayStation Home. This speculation opens broader conversations about what PlayStation, Xbox, and PC gaming may look like in the next hardware cycle. The controversy involving Bungie's Marathon art dispute has reached a resolution, with artist Fern “4nt1r34l” Hook stating that the issue has been resolved to her satisfaction. Bungie previously acknowledged that a former employee had used her work without permission during the game's early development and removed the affected assets from the project. Yacht Club Games, the studio behind Shovel Knight, is facing a critical moment as it prepares for the release of Mina the Hollower. According to Bloomberg, the studio's future stability depends heavily on the game's sales performance. With the team having downsized and paused work on a separate 3D Shovel Knight project, the success of Mina the Hollower may determine the direction of the studio moving forward. Additional updates include a significant reduction to Helldivers 2's PC install size, a new limited-edition Genshin Impact DualSense controller for PS5, the soft launch of MLB The Show Mobile on iOS and Android, and new accusations that Sony used generative AI artwork for its PlayStation Advent Calendar promotional campaign. This episode brings together the biggest stories shaping PlayStation, Xbox, PC, and the wider gaming industry, with insight into upcoming adaptations, studio challenges, production reveals, and the future direction of gaming.

Nothing will mess with your financial confidence faster than comparing your savings to your brother, your coworkers, or that guy on YouTube who claims he retired at 38. Your retirement number isn't a competition. Let's talk about what really matters when you're trying to figure out if you're behind on your savings goals…and what to do if you actually are.   Important Links: Website: http://www.yourplanningpros.com Call: 844-707-7381   ----more---- Transcript:  Speaker 1: Nothing will mess with your financial confidence faster than comparing yourselves to your brother, your coworkers, or that guy on YouTube that claims he retired at 38. Your retirement number isn't a competition, so let's talk about what really matters this week on the podcast.   Hey everybody, welcome into Plan With The Tax Man, with Tony Mauro and myself to talk investing, finance, and retirement. And am I behind in my retirement savings and what to do if you are, that's the topic of conversation this week. Tony, my friend, what's going on, buddy? How are you?   Tony Mauro: I'm doing well. And just back from the Thanksgiving break, trying to get reignited for this last month of the year.   Speaker 1: Yeah, it's upon us and always fast and furious, always something going on, right?   Tony Mauro: Yeah.   Speaker 1: So we got to dive in and tackle the work, get it done, especially right after holiday break. It seems like everybody's always like, "Oh my God, I'm so overloaded."   Tony Mauro: That's right. Everybody's got a ton of stuff to do.   Speaker 1: Yeah, got to catch up from the half the week you're off or whatever. So listen, we got an email question in. And so it kind of sparked the conversation here, Tony. So we'll throw this up here. I'll state it for the listeners and then let's just kind of break it down a little bit. So the person says, "Look, I thought I did a good job saving over the years, but it seems as though I'm behind. My brother's got nearly two million saved and it seems that a lot of my colleagues or coworkers are in that similar kind of stratosphere. The husband and I barely have over a million bucks and now we're in our early 60s and wondering what do we got to do to get caught up?"   So it's kind of like, well, is a million not enough? With all these conversations period, so whatever the number, forget the number for a second, what to do if you're feeling behind, period. So where do we start with this? How do we identify the real issue, Tony?   Tony Mauro: Well, I think the real issue, and this is a good topic for this time of year, because I think everybody, at least the clients that we serve and prospective clients are all looking at their financial situation. Another year's gone by, another year older and people start to ask these questions. And so I think some of the real issues here probably in this writer's email is basically they're trying to, just like you said, they're trying to compare themselves in a number to other people. And you don't want to do that. You want to get with your advisor and really talk about where you're at with your plan because just because... Well, I guess I can back it up and say, somebody's always going to have more than you, whether it's money, whether it's this, that, things, you've got to really hone in on the real issue of, in your situation, are you going to be ready?   And you got to... I mean, the number is important, yes, but it's not the primary factor, I don't think. A lot of times, because, for example, client A might be very happy and very well off with a million dollars, client B, not so much, which I think we're going to talk about a little bit more in depth here. So really the only benchmark is what you're doing with your plan and what it requires and try to figure out then from there, is what you have enough?   Speaker 1: Great point. So you've got to really kind of break each of those pieces down and look at all of them and get the numbers. I mean, ultimately, you've got to have this conversation based on numbers and not how you feel about it, and we'll talk about that in just a second. But if you're reframing the conversation, so what is enough, Tony? What's enough for you? Everybody's different.   Tony Mauro: Everybody's different, so you really have to, again, get with your advisor. I think I've said it before, it's where an advisor lends a lot of value is to take you through these exercises for answering what's enough for you. It really is dependent a lot on type of lifestyle that you want to lead, what your monthly expenses are going to be in retirement, do you have any outstanding debts and other commitments, things like that. You also got to think about too, how long you're going to live. Obviously nobody knows that for sure, but you can kind of make some estimated guesses based on your family heritage and whatnot, who's still maybe alive. And then I think lastly, when it's all over, what kind of legacy do you want to leave? When it's your turn, I think all of these things have to come into play to answer what's enough for you. Because again, what might be enough for one person is definitely not enough for another and not enough for another. So this is where you got to have some good conversations.   Speaker 1: Well, again, so are you behind or are you assuming you are? So to this person's question, they didn't really state, "We're probably behind," is one of the words that was used. We're barely over the million dollar mark and probably behind. So have you truly run your projections out? And this goes for anybody listening, how do you know if you're behind if you don't truly know where you stand, period?   Tony Mauro: I agree. And I think that a lot of people fixate on that big number of the nest egg. But what the writer didn't tell us is, they assume they're behind, but a lot of times we find out when clients tell us this is that, "Well, let's say you may only have a million dollars saved," but, "Oh, by the way, you've got this pension that you can't outlive over here," and they don't factor that in, but that's a monthly income that you can't outlive, so that's very much a factor in, do you have enough to retire? So I like to focus on not the number at the end, but what's your monthly expenses? How much do you want to have to not only pay that, but still be able to go out and have fun? That's the number we're looking at. Now then we have to back into, okay, do we have enough over here with all sources of income coming in, including Social Security and pensions and our investments to figure that out?   Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, so I mean, find those targets, get those numbers specifically and then talk about lifestyle, fixed expenses, those financial commitments, the longevity, all those pieces that we talk about often and then you've got a much better piece of black and white right in front of you, so you kind of know what's going on.   But let's just assume, Tony, for the sake of the argument that you are behind. Well, now, so what's some catch up strategies? What's some things to be thinking about when it comes to how to tackle these and how to maybe shorten that gap? So obviously we should start with you're over 50, most likely, because we're talking about retirement, this listener was in their 60s, so take advantage of the opportunities there, max out.   Tony Mauro: Yeah, you want to max out things like if you've got a 401k at work, if you don't have that, or even if you do, IRAs, got your HSAs in there, you certainly could, and this all comes down to planning, of course, you don't want to just, throwing these out there, you've got to get with your advisor and check some of this stuff out. But you may want to say, "Well, okay, based on the amount I can safely set aside every month with what I have," maybe you need to delay retirement a little bit. Maybe we just need to move it back a bit to even things out. Maybe it's a fact of we do all of the above and we start cutting back just a little bit, we reduce some things to maybe save more. I mean, without feeling like your retirement savings poor. Maybe we need to reassess our risk. Maybe we need to maybe invest a little more aggressively than you have been depending on how things are looking if you're behind.   Speaker 1: That's a good point. Now as the advisor, okay, if you have to say that-   Tony Mauro: [inaudible 00:07:35] to say.   Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, so if you're the advisor and you say, "Okay, look, you are behind. You want to make up this ground, whatever. One of these places is that you have been very conservative with your portfolio." You don't just move to the higher risk if you're behind because you need to take into account not only as the end user, the client, but also as the advisor, how are they going to feel about this, can they stomach taking that extra risk?   Tony Mauro: Yeah, can they stomach it and how much will that risk tend to be? How much longer do we really have, because that plays into it as well. But it's weird for an advisor to say, "Well, you might need to take on a little more risk." Most of the time we're saying, "Nah, maybe take a little less," especially towards retirement. But it's an option that you might want to consider if you're getting close and you're behind.   And then the last one is, and I think a lot of people don't give this enough merit is maybe you just take on some part-time work, some mindless type work in your retirement to help fund things with not too much stress, maybe not full-time. And maybe you can pick up 20, $30,000 a year extra just doing that and you might have to find something you really like to do.   Speaker 1: Yeah, I think ultimately, if you got to do some catch up things, there's these pieces. Obviously we got the catch-up contributions, Tony. Now if you are 60 to 63, you've got this new little funky window that they've added.   Tony Mauro: A little bit more you could put in.   Speaker 1: A little bit more, so you could pile it away a little bit and really just kind of close that gap should it actually be there. But if you don't identify the lifestyle and the projections, and granted, I know things change, but if you don't do that, you're really just kind of taking a random shot in the dark at stuff. It's like the people who say, "Hey, we are currently living off $5,000 a month and we know we're close to retirement and we just want to pull the trigger and get into retirement, so if we go ahead and live off of 3,500, we could make our numbers last for our projected lifetime." Well, did you try living off the 3,500 first of all to see if that actually works? And I feel like that's the same kind of thing sometimes when people go, "Well, the million's not enough. I got to push to two million." It's the opposite conversation. What if the million does get it done and you just don't know because you just didn't run the numbers.   Tony Mauro: You didn't run the numbers. Yeah, and we like to do that exercise with pre-retirees before they even retire and get our plan mapped out and say, "Let's try this kind of fake, if you will." I mean, we make them go through it, but they just kind of report back that, "Hey, we were able to do this on this and we don't think this is going to be a problem." Or sometimes they say, "Oh boy, I want a lot more than this. I can't do it." And then you got to adjust. But again, that's, I believe where advisors lend their most value, especially pre-retiree and during retirement is making sure that, and I would advise all the listeners to, if you have an advisor, especially in retirement, make sure you're talking to them about this kind of stuff. You don't want to go in and just talk about numbers all the time. You want to talk about, is retirement working for you and what do you see as your problems? And maybe they can help you make some adjustments there.   Speaker 1: Yeah, very true. And don't forget too, there's a whole nother piece of this conversation, like if you... Okay, so this person says her brother's got two million. Well, do you or your husband have a pension, and they don't, right? That's another piece of the animal. What if both couples have good Social Security and good pensions? You might not even need a half a million dollars, right? I mean-   Tony Mauro: Might need a half. How about another one is, maybe you know that you are going to be inheriting quite a bit of money, you just don't have it yet, but you know it's coming. That could be in play too.   Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go.   Tony Mauro: All that kind of stuff.   Speaker 1: Although don't count on that though, right?   Tony Mauro: No, don't count on it. But like you say, it's important to get that out on the table that you think that's going to happen.   Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. So at the end of the day, do you need the two million? Do you need the one million? Look, Tony, I've been talking about this all week, people have known and said for years, Warren Buffett's famously said things like, retirement planning and all that kind of stuff, it's not sexy work, it should be boring. I mean, in a way it should be boring because if you're too emotionally involved and charged up, you make those rash decisions. It's very much like you just get swayed very easily because we get so worked up about our money. But if it's going well, it's probably boring. But news media of any kind, financial of any kind, can't sell boring.   Tony Mauro: Nope, can't sell boring, that's why they've got to put some stuff in [inaudible 00:12:11].   Speaker 1: So it's got to be, "It's a million now. Now it's two million. Oh no, the market's plummeted," when it went down like a half a percent. Things like that. So get the numbers, get the concrete data, and then just make sure that you're making decisions from a place of information, not just emotion. Then you can bring the emotion into it, absolutely. But start with the data. So good stuff, man. Well, thanks for breaking that down this week as we talk about it. Always good stuff. Any final thoughts?   Tony Mauro: Well, I would just say, I mean, my final thought really is keep on it, keep at it. We get a lot of questions from people in their 50s, and the one thing I don't like to hear people say is, "Well, I'm 50-something, it's too late." I don't think it's ever too late. I think if you sit down and iron out a good plan, it might not be your dream plan that you had maybe when you were young, but I think you can craft a good plan. And I think you should stop, it's hard, stop comparing yourself to others, start getting your plan together and I think you can live a, most people, a very good retirement in America these days.   Speaker 1: Very true. All right, well, thank you so much for your time. And if you've got some questions, you need some help, as always, reach out to Tony and his team at Tax Doctor Inc.

Our Chief U.S. Economist Michael Gapen breaks down how growth, inflation and the AI revolution could play out in 2026.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Michael Gapen: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Michael Gapen, Morgan Stanley's Chief U.S. Economist.Today I'll review our 2026 U.S. Economic Outlook and what it means for growth, inflation, jobs and the Fed.It's Tuesday, November 25th, at 10am in New York.If 2025 was the year of fast and furious policy changes, then 2026 is when the dust settles.Last year, we predicted slow growth and sticky inflation, mainly because of strict trade and immigration policies – and this proved accurate. But this year, the story is changing. We see the U.S. economy finally moving past the high-uncertainty phase. Looking ahead, we see a return to modest growth of 1.8 percent in 2026 and 2 percent in 2027. Inflation should cool but it likely won't hit the Fed's 2 percent target. By the end of 2026, we see headline PCE inflation at 2.5 percent, core inflation at 2.6 percent, and both stay above the 2 percent target through 2027. In other words, the inflation fight isn't over, but the worst is behind us.So, if 2025 was slow growth and sticky inflation, then 2026 and [20]27 could be described as moderate growth and disinflation. The impact of trade and immigration policies should fade, and the economic climate should improve. Now, there are still some risks. Tariffs could push prices higher for consumers in the near term; or if firms cannot pass through tariffs, we worry about additional layoffs. But looking ahead to the second half of 2026 and beyond, we think those risks shift to the upside, with a better chance of positive surprises for growth.After all, AI-related business spending remains robust and upper income consumers are faring well. There is reason for optimism. That said, we think the most likely path for the economy is the return to modest growth. U.S. consumers start to rebound, but slowly. Tariffs will keep prices firm in the first half of 2026, squeezing purchasing power for low- and middle-income households. These households consume mainly through labor market income, and until inflation starts to retreat, purchasing power should be constrained.Real consumption should rise 1.6 percent in 2026 and 1.8 [percent] in 2027 – better, but not booming. The main culprit is a labor market that's still in ‘low-hire, low-fire' mode driven by immigration controls and tariff effects that keep hiring soft. We see unemployment peaking at 4.7 percent in the second quarter of 2026, then easing to 4.5 percent by year-end. Jobs are out there, but the labor market isn't roaring. It'll be hard for hiring to pick up until after tariffs have been absorbed.And when jobs cool, the Fed steps in. The Fed is cutting rates – but at a cost. After two 25 basis point rate cuts in September and October, we expect 75 basis points more by mid 2026, bringing the target range to 3.0-3.25 percent. Why? To insure against labor market weakness. But that insurance comes with a price: inflation staying above target longer. Think of it as the Fed walking a tightrope—lean too far toward jobs, and inflation lingers; lean too far toward inflation, and growth stumbles. For now the Fed has chosen the former.And how does AI fit into the macro picture? It's definitely a major growth driver. Spending on AI-related hardware, software, and data centers adds about 0.4 percent to growth in both 2026 and 2027. That's roughly 20 percent of total growth. But here's the twist: imports dilute the impact. After accounting for imported tech, AI's net contribution falls sharply. Still, we expect AI to boost productivity by 25-35 basis points by 2027, over our forecast horizon, marking the start of a new innovation cycle. In short: AI is planting the seeds now for bigger gains later.Of course, there are risks to our outlook. And let me flag three important ones. First, demand upside – meaning fiscal stimulus and business optimism push growth higher; under this scenario inflation stays hot, and the Fed pauses cuts. If the economy really picks up, then the Fed may need to take back the risk management cuts it's putting in now. That would be a shock to markets. Second, there's a productivity upside – in which case AI delivers bigger productivity gains, disinflation resumes, and rates drift lower. And lastly, a potential mild recession where tariffs and tight policy bite harder, GDP turns negative in early 2026, and the Fed slashes rates to near 1 percent. So in summary: 2026 looks to be a transition year with less drama but more nuance, as growth returns and inflation cools, while AI keeps rewriting the playbook.Thanks for listening. If you enjoy the show, please leave us a review wherever you listen and share Thoughts on the Market with a friend or colleague today.

The last couple of weeks have been sheer torture. I've been getting a ton of emails about pre-Black Friday sales. And of course, there's nothing in them for anybody I'm buying for; it's great savings for me. I started getting Black Friday emails back around Halloween, but the sales weren't that great. There was nothing special inside. But in the last couple of weeks, the emails have been fast and furious, and the savings have been fantastic. With the uncertain economy, businesses are looking to get people into stores and buying online. I shouldn't complain because there are a few things I've needed, but now I wish they'd offer up some savings for the people on my Christmas list...

For a goofy franchise that started with gangsters stealing DVD players and wound up with a Pontiac Fiero going into space, The Fast and the Furious movies are a pretty fantastic lens through which to view the last quarter-century of Hollywood economics. From the DVD boom and bust to the internationalization and diversification of ticket-buyers to questions of propriety surrounding the digital resurrection of deceased actors to the desire for all-encompassing franchise-based “cinematic universes,” the series has ridden every economic wave buffeting the movie business since the original's release in 2001.  Author Barry Hertz does a wonderful job of weaving that story amidst the tangle of egos and artistic energy that makes up the Fast series in his new book, Welcome to the Family: The Explosive Story Behind Fast & Furious, the Blockbusters that Supercharged the World. Full disclosure: I'm not a particularly big fan of the series, so I was a little skeptical when I agreed to check out Barry's book. But even if you don't really care about the Fast and Furious movies, there's more than enough behind-the-scenes drama and economic intrigue to keep you riveted. And it's a must-buy stocking stuffer for anyone in your life who lives their life a quarter mile at a time.

US Gold Corp (NASDAQ: USAU) represents an increasingly rare investment opportunity in the North American mining sector - a fully permitted, shovel-ready gold-copper development project approaching a critical inflection point. The company's CK Project in Wyoming is completing its Definitive Feasibility Study by mid-December 2025, with public release planned for January 2026, positioning investors ahead of formal project financing negotiations and potential strategic interest from consolidating producers.The project's fundamental advantages centre on infrastructure and operational simplicity. Located 20 miles from Cheyenne, Wyoming, the CK Project benefits from established power and water infrastructure, rail connectivity within three miles, and access to a skilled industrial workforce without requiring worker accommodation. Chairman Luke Norman emphasized this distinction: "If we were trying to build this up in the snow belts in Alaska or something, it would be an entirely different undertaking." These infrastructure advantages translate directly into reduced capital intensity and lower operating costs compared to remote mining developments.The operational approach further differentiates the project from conventional precious metals mining. Norman characterized it as "a glorified quarry just with a little more infrastructure to extract the minerals," utilizing straightforward crushing and flotation processes with no on-site smelting required. The geology enhances this simplicity, with mineralization exposed at surface and "the richest stuff at surface," eliminating extensive pre-stripping requirements and accelerating the timeline to cash flow generation.Project economics demonstrated sub-year payback potential in previous studies, an exceptional metric that speaks to rapid capital recovery. Whilst Norman acknowledged the forthcoming DFS will reflect increased capital costs for enhanced environmental measures, he maintained that "the margins on the project have just increased dramatically" due to gold and copper price appreciation. This economic robustness has attracted considerable financing interest, with Norman confirming "so many term sheet come across our desk in the last 12 months."The resource base comprises a 1.7 million ounce gold reserve supporting projected annual production exceeding 100,000 ounces over a minimum 10-year mine life. Importantly, management identifies potential for "another million ounces plus potential for harvesting within the pit," providing resource growth opportunity without requiring additional permitting or fundamental changes to the mining plan.The strategic context enhances the investment thesis. Norman characterized the project financing environment as "a lot of capital chasing very few projects that are permitted and ready to go," reflecting the scarcity of development-ready projects in North America. This dynamic creates both favourable financing terms and potential M&A premium, with Norman acknowledging the DFS completion "might even trigger some interest from an M&A perspective." Management's stated focus on equity value creation - "whatever is best for the stock" - aligns with shareholder interests across multiple potential value realisation pathways.For investors seeking exposure to North American gold and copper production development without the regulatory uncertainties that plague most junior mining investments, US Gold Corp offers a differentiated opportunity. The convergence of complete permitting, exceptional infrastructure advantages, robust project economics, secured financing interest, and imminent DFS completion positions the company for significant value creation as it enters what management anticipates will be "a really fast and furious 2026."

Join Sis and Big Pops for a fun, fun talk about one of the things we love most—Nerd Stuff. We discuss our fav bits of nerd news: Guillermo del Toro's movie Frankenstein, Oceans 14 being green-lit, the Dog surviving in the new horror film “Good boy, ” action figures from Masters of the Universe and Transformers, Vin Diesel The Pacifier, the last Fast and Furious movie might not happen and neither may Avatar 4, Humble Bundle of Lego games, Spiderman 4 with Tobey McGuire, and In Your Dreams Netflix kids movie trailer. For bingeing, Big Pops has been watching The Manning Cast- Monday Night Football, Mavel Zombies, LOTR, and has been listening to The Hobbit and reading Walking Dead Compendium. Sis has watched her husband play the game “Tunic,” as well as Kara and Nate, Inception, and Gravity Falls. Then, Pops shared his pull list! This week, he introduces us to Absolute Evil Issue 1 by DC (and Justice League The Omega Act Special); The Punisher Issue 1 by Marvel Red Band, and The Rocket Fellars Issue 9 by Image. His new number 1, or should we say issue 0, is the reboot of The Department of Truth by Image. His Book of the Week is Star Trek: The Last Starship Issue 1 by IDW. And last but not least, we review Over the Garden Wall.

You're listening to Burnt Toast! I'm Virginia Sole-Smith. You're listening to Burnt Toast. I'm Virginia Sole-Smith. Today, my conversation is with Kaila Yu. Kaila is an author based in Los Angeles. Her debut memoir, Fetishized: A Reckoning with Yellow Fever, Feminism, and Beauty, came out earlier this fall to a rave review in The New York Times. She's also a luxury travel and culture writer with bylines in The New York Times, Rolling Stone, The LA Times, Condé Nast Traveler and many more. Kaila's memoir grapples with her experience growing up Asian and female in a world that has so many stereotypes and expectations about both those things. We talk about the pressure to perform so many different kinds of specific beauty labor, the experience of being objectified sexually —and we really get into how we all navigate the dual reality of hating beauty standards and often feeling safer and happier complying with them. I learned so much from this book, and this conversation with Kaila. Don't forget that if you've bought Fat Talk from Split Rock Books, you can take 10% off your purchase of Fetishized there too — just use the code FATTALK at checkout. And if you value this conversation, a paid subscription is the best way to support our work!Join Burnt Toast!

We're back and kicking off Lap 16 with Barry Hertz (author of Welcome to the Family: The Explosive Story Behind Fast & Furious, the Blockbusters that Supercharged the World) to talk about The Fast and the Furious! (We cannot stress this enough: buy Barry's book!) We ask Barry if writing the book changed his thoughts about the franchise before we share our latest theories and thoughts with him and ask about our long-held theories. We discuss the future state of the franchise, the “worst-case scenario” he could have encountered while writing, and where he wants to see the franchise go next. Will Brian come back? Should he come back? Does anyone want him back? We discuss. Barry shares alternate endings to Fast X (which are far more exciting than what we got). We talk about why a lower budget is not a bad thing. Barry shares his history with the franchise. Joey has a new theory about the head of Eteon and a related spinoff movie he wants to see. We put some respect on Matt Schulze's name and ask why Jesse judges a book (car) by its cover (model). Joe realizes just how close 1/3/27 really is. Barry makes history in the character quiz.

Dominion! Do men have it over their wives? This week we're looking at Ephesians 5 where it very clearly says that wives should be subject to their husbands as to the Lord. OR DOES IT?!? We're going deep into Doc McClellan's linguistic grab-bag to parse out what it actually says. Because ancient Greek is tricky, and doesn't operate the way modern English does. Then, it's ANCIENT ALIENS!!! Were people in antiquity visited by extra terrestrials? Are the gods and angels written about in the Bible actually aliens from another planet? Pop some corn and break out your faraday cage, because the conspiracy theories are flying fast and furious, and the History Channel might be coming for us! ---- For early access to an ad-free version of every episode of Data Over Dogma, exclusive content, and the opportunity to support our work, please consider becoming a monthly patron at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/DataOverDogma⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠      Follow us on the various social media places: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/DataOverDogmaPod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.twitter.com/data_over_dogma⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Have you ordered Dan McClellan's New York Times bestselling book ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Bible Says So⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ yet???

Welcome to the Tom Bilyeu Show, where we tackle the headlines others shy away from and dig deep into the forces shaping our world today. In this episode, I'm joined by Drew as we break down an avalanche of provocative stories: Trump making audacious moves on the global stage—from promising a fast and furious end to Hamas, to waging war on Mexican drug cartels, and even labeling domestic opponents like BLM and Antifa as terrorist organizations. Across the globe, Japan ushers in its first female prime minister, who immediately turns her gaze toward mass deportation of illegal immigrants, while Ireland erupts in outrage over a shocking crime tied to migration. We don't just report the headlines—we dissect the strategy, the mindset, and the ripple effects. How does the carrot-and-stick approach play out in today's volatile climate? What happens when executive powers override due process? Where do we draw the line between keeping America safe and giving one side too much unchecked authority? We dive into the anxiety fueling populism, the real stakes in proxy wars with China, and the unintended consequences of political tribalism. And of course, we take a turn into the unexpected: Palmer Luckey, the billionaire innovator, drops some wild health advice that will make you question everything you know about fitness and vices. The Tom Bilyeu Show isn't here to give you the simple answers—we're searching for truth, exposing blindspots, and inviting skepticism. If you're ready for a conversation that challenges conventions—from conspiracies and mass protests to questions about power and narrative—let's dive in. What's up, everybody?
