Time stamps: 00:14:24 — Our personal histories with the Fast & Furious franchise 00:30:55 — History segment: The history of the Fast & Furious franchise; director Justin Lin; on the weekend of Fast Five's release, Dwayne Johnson Tweets the news that Osama bin Laden has been killed 00:49:55 — In-depth movie discussion 02:02:15 — Final thoughts and star ratings   Laci and Matt hop in a go-fast car and head for Rio de Janeiro to join up with Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel), Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker), and their whole extended family, as they attempt the heist of the century. All while trying to evade federal agent Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson), the deadliest agent you'll find  in Hillary Clinton's State Department.   We discover how fascinating Vin Diesel is for Laci, who has had startlingly little exposure to the man of the vast empire he controls. We try to figure out what it is he does well… because it's hard to say what it is, there's just something about him.   Honestly, that's true for Paul Walker, Jordana Brewster, and Tyrese Gibson as well. It's not that they're captivating actors. They just have a certain quality that you can't help but love.   We also get into the history of the Fast & Furious series and the strange journey it took to becoming a Star Wars-level international blockbuster franchise.   Next week: Pain & Gain (2013)   The Summer of Rock is our summer 2025 miniseries covering the movie career of Dwayne Johnson through nine movies, presented in chronological order. Starting with his attempt at crossing over from the world of wrestling, The Rock's career got off to a bumpy start before finally taking off in the 2010s. But it wasn't long before the bumps returned, and we'll be telling the story for you all summer long!   Bonus video: Matt reviews Planet 51 (2009), the bonkers science fiction family film that was Dwayne Johnson's first animated movie: https://youtu.be/-lG6Gnwe1GY?si=0gOccnMr7Pev3PPd   Subscribe to our Patreon, Load Bearing Beams: Collector's Edition for $5 a month to get extra episodes! patreon.com/loadbearingbeams      Sources: “'Fast Five' Will Transition Franchise From Street Racing To Future Full Of Heist Action” by Nikki Finke | Deadline (2011) - https://bit.ly/4kqBbtm  “How Paul Walker nearly quit the ‘Furious' franchise” by Amy Kaufman | Los Angeles Times (2015) - https://lat.ms/4kpmqH6  “The remarkable evolution of the Fast and Furious movie franchise” by Zach Harper | CBS Sports (2015) - https://bit.ly/3IaSYHF    Artwork by Laci Roth.   Music by Rural Route Nine.

This week on the Omni Talk Retail Fast Five podcast, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Simbe, Mirakl, and Ocampo Capital, we explore the generational shift reshaping grocery retail. Traditional supermarkets are falling out of favor with younger generations, with Gen Z, millennials, and Gen X increasingly turning to discount retailers for groceries. According to new survey data, 22% of Gen Z shoppers made their most recent grocery trip at Aldi, matching Walmart's share. Meanwhile, 28% of baby boomers and 31% of the silent generation still prefer traditional supermarkets.

This week on the Omni Talk Retail Fast Five podcast, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Simbe, Mirakl, and Ocampo Capital, we dive into the biggest CPG story of the year. Kraft Heinz is preparing to break itself up a decade after the infamous merger orchestrated by Warren Buffett and Brazilian private equity firm 3G Capital Partners. The company plans to spin off a large chunk of its grocery business, including many Kraft products, into a new entity valued as much as $20 billion. This would leave a separate company housing faster-growing offerings like Heinz ketchup, Grey Poupon mustard, and hot sauces that align better with consumer preferences.

This week on the Omni Talk Retail Fast Five podcast, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Simbe, Mirakl, and Ocampo Capital, we analyze contrasting approaches to return-to-office policies. Both Starbucks and Target issued return-to-office orders this week, but with very different strategies. Starbucks mandates employees work in the office a minimum of four days a week (Monday-Thursday) starting in October, even offering voluntary exit packages for those who refuse. Target takes a softer approach, asking team members to work in person at least three times a week with flexibility on which days, leaving decisions to individual leaders.

This week on the Omni Talk Retail Fast Five podcast, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Simbe, Mirakl, and Ocampo Capital, we examine how tariff-driven inflation threatens the upcoming holiday season. Inflation rose to 2.7% in June, its highest level since February, as President Trump's sweeping tariffs push up costs across furniture, clothing, and large appliances. Core inflation climbed to 2.9% annually, creating massive uncertainty for retailers planning holiday inventory and pricing strategies. With nobody knowing what tariffs will be in place during peak season, retailers face unprecedented challenges.

This week on the Omni Talk Retail Fast Five podcast, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Simbe, Mirakl, and Ocampo Capital, we examine Shopify's proactive stance on AI agent regulation. Shopify is drawing boundaries around agentic AI with new language in merchant websites' robots.txt files, stating "scraping, buy from me agents, or any end-to-end flow that completes payment without a final review step is not permitted." The move shows Shopify thinking ahead to protect its ecosystem while directing legitimate integrators to use official APIs.

This week on the Omni Talk Retail Fast Five podcast, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Simbe, Mirakl, and Ocampo Capital, we rapid-fire through the week's quirkiest retail stories. Morrison's limits colleague access to stock rooms to prevent "idling," Call Her Daddy's Alex Cooper gets booed at Wrigley Field, Nextdoor replatforms to cut cranky neighbor posts, and an AI influencer with 150K followers fools everyone at Wimbledon.

In this week's Omni Talk Retail Fast Five, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Simbe, Mirakl, Ocampo Capital, Infios, and ClearDemand, A&M's Chad Lusk and David Brown joined Chris and Anne to discuss: Kraft Heinz's breakup plans – The food giant is preparing to spin off a large chunk of its grocery business into a new $20 billion entity, a decade after the infamous Warren Buffett-orchestrated merger Return to office mandates – Both Starbucks and Target issued new in-person work requirements, with Starbucks mandating four days (Monday-Thursday) and Target requiring three flexible days per week Tariff-driven inflation concerns – Consumer prices rose 2.7% in June as President Trump's tariffs push up costs on furniture, clothing, and appliances, potentially impacting holiday shopping Supermarkets losing younger shoppers – Gen Z, Millennials, and Gen X increasingly favor Walmart and Aldi over traditional supermarkets, with 22% of Gen Z shoppers choosing each retailer for their most recent grocery trip Shopify sets AI boundaries – The e-commerce platform is blocking agentic AI bots from completing purchases without human review, adding new restrictions to protect merchants from unauthorized automation And AWS's Daniele Stroppa also dropped by to help us hand out a new award we are giving out each month in partnership with AWS, and we are calling it the Retail Startup of the Month – this month's winner is Bria AI, a visual generative AI platform that helps brands create compliant, on-brand content at scale. There's all that, plus discussions on AI influencers taking Wimbledon by storm, cranky Nextdoor neighbors, and whether Alex Cooper was rightly booed at Wrigley Field last week.

It's Life in the Fast Lane! Welcome to the Fast & The Shirtless: my thespian father just loves the chemistry. (It'll all make sense in time, or not.) In our Tokyo Drift Minute, we finally get to Noodle Grandma -- but leave with mysteries and AI hallucinations. We cover lots of news, including the biggest Fast and Furious news in months: Vin Diesel's three conditions to release Fast X Part 2 in April 2027, which (in a roundabout way) leads Joey to seed the idea for a very ambitious F&F editing project. We review a perhaps record-breaking number of posts as we Run the VIN, and we dip our toe into International Rome-ing for the first time. Who is Vin's 18-year-old son? Vin shares some deep-seeded lore about why he wants to portray Kojak. What is Mark and Maurice? Why is Vin is all-in on Kojak right now? Jerry writes in about Fast Five, which makes us wonder: does Dom always have a secret side quest? We talk about F1.

Dr. Miller opens up about building a sustainable, modern porkbusiness—not just environmentally, but operationally and culturally—and what it takes to attract and develop the next generation of talent in agriculture.Looking ahead, he shares his five-year vision for The Maschhoffs and gives us a personal peek in the Fast Five round, where he reveals leadership insights, the best advice he's received, and the three words that define The Maschhoffs in 2025.

Staples pivots to services like TSA pre-check, passport photos, and Verizon device sales as core printing business declines. Chris and Anne debate whether this services salvation story can sustain the 945-location chain or if it's just delaying the inevitable. Brought to you by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Simbe, Mirakl, and Ocampo Capital.

Sephora offers $20 Lyft credits to drive customers to stores during Prime Day week. Our hosts analyze whether this "delivered to beauty" campaign represents innovative omnichannel thinking or just smart marketing spin that luxury retailers have done for decades. Sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Simbe, Mirakl, and Ocampo Capital.

New app Grocery Dealz allows real-time price comparison across grocery stores, potentially triggering massive industry disruption. Chris warns this could herald the age of agentic AI grocery shopping that threatens traditional retailers' margin structures and survival. Brought to you by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Simbe, Mirakl, and Ocampo Capital.

Amazon teams up with Gopuff for 15-minute grocery delivery across major UK cities. Our hosts debate whether this signals Amazon's retreat from direct grocery or a strategic setup for agentic AI shopping experiences that could revolutionize how consumers buy groceries. Sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Simbe, Mirakl, and Ocampo Capital.

Walmart launches "Dinner Tonight" - a new meal solution platform that combines recipes, ready-made meals, and one-click ordering with same-day delivery. Chris and Anne analyze why this could be the meal kit killer and how Walmart's AI integration positions them ahead of competitors. Brought to you by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Simbe, Mirakl, and Ocampo Capital.

It is with heavy hearts that we have to push back our release schedule one week. Actually, no, our hearts are light and full of joy. A new baby has been added to House Stokes in the form of past guest Elliott (from the Home Alone 2 episode) and his lovely wife having a baby. Said baby was just very inconsiderate in arriving at precisely the time we were set to record our Fast Five episode. So, it'll be here in a week. All will be well.   In the meantime, we're flashing back to last summer when it was the Summer of Spielberg, and we're giving you one of our most popular episodes, the Jurassic Park episode featuring AJ and Kristie from the In Love With Horror podcast.   The Summer of Spielberg continues as Laci and Matt were able to buckle their seatbelts in time for their helicopter to land on Isla Nublar, where they meet up with AJ & Kristie from the In Love With Horror podcast to talk about Jurassic Park (1993). The four team up for a rollicking podcast so good it'll have you shouting “Hello John!” at total strangers.   First of all, this famous action/horror/sci-fi/disaster epic has like 50 incredible lines of dialogue! So we just spend some time saying these lines at each other. But eventually we get into it, talking about the history of Michael Crichton's novel and its adaptation by Steven Spielberg. Then we take a close look at the movie, wondering just how bad of a boss John Hammond must be and what exactly is the nature of his relationship with Ian Malcolm.   Also, apparently John Hammond was originally intended to sing a song explaining how Jurassic Park works? Instead they did the Mr. DNA thing, but we would love to hear that song. Who knows... maybe we will.   Please check out the great In Love With Horror podcast on Apple Podcast (https://apple.co/4b80RX2), Spotify (https://bit.ly/3KYfbXe), or YouTube (https://bit.ly/4btwtqp), and support them on Patreon (https://bit.ly/3VV0jzy).    Watch this episode in full: https://youtu.be/o2RueFt2rC8   Time stamps: 00:09:41 — Our histories with Jurassic Park 00:30:05 — History segment: Career overview of Jurassic Park author Michael Crichton; overview of Spielberg's career since 1982; and a brief overview of the production of the movie 00:48:16 — In-depth movie discussion 01:13:14 — John Hammond's deleted musical number 01:54:35 — Final thoughts and star ratings   Artwork by Laci Roth.   Music by Rural Route Nine.

In this week's Omni Talk Retail Fast Five, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Simbe, Mirakl, Ocampo Capital, Infios, and ClearDemand, Chris and Anne discussed: - Walmart's “Dinner Tonight” platform launch – The retail giant's one-stop meal solution that lets customers type “Dinner Tonight” or “easy dinner” to access one-click baskets, recipe hubs, and shoppable lists, complete with deli and bakery delivery options. - Amazon's 15-minute grocery delivery partnership with GoPuff in the UK – - The ultra-fast service has expanded from Birmingham and Salford to major cities including London, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Cardiff, Bristol and Sheffield, offering 24/7 grocery delivery through GoPuff's micro-fulfillment network. - Staples pivoting to services for business relevance – The office supply retailer is driving foot traffic through printing, shipping, passport services, and a new Verizon partnership to sell phones and devices in-store, with about 945 locations serving roughly 90% of the U.S. population.

Plus: This month's OmniStar award goes to Tracey Brown, EVP and Chief Customer Officer at Walgreens, for becoming a licensed pharmacy tech and working weekend shifts to better understand operations and accelerate change. There's all that, plus spicy McMuffins, furniture eulogies, and the new dating trend called “Banksying.” Music by hooksounds.com

Well, a movie finally broke us. Horror and mortal terror have a face.   In the absolutely dreadful “family film” Tooth Fairy (2010)—quite possibly the worst movie our podcast has ever covered—Dwayne Johnson plays Derek Thompson, a hockey player who specializes in knocking out opponents' teeth. He has a lot on his plate: He's dating Ashley Judd, who has two kids: An adorable little girl who loves him and a punk teenage boy who thinks he's full of crap (Because he is.). At the same time, Derek has some hotshot new competition in the form of Mick “The Stick” Donnelly, a hot-shot new prospect who is described in the span of 25 seconds by the team's coach as both “the future face of this (minor league) franchise” and “only here for a cup of coffee before he makes the NHL.”   Then he becomes the Tooth Fairy. Hilarity ensues.   Next week: We're off! We return on July 11 for an episode about Fast Five (2011).   The Summer of Rock is our summer 2025 miniseries covering the movie career of Dwayne Johnson through nine movies, presented in chronological order. Starting with his attempt at crossing over from the world of wrestling, The Rock's career got off to a bumpy start before finally taking off in the 2010s. But it wasn't long before the bumps returned, and we'll be telling the story for you all summer long!   Bonus video: Matt explains how director Paul Verhoeven could predict how the future would feel, through examining three of his movies: RoboCop, Total Recall, and Starship Troopers.

Welcome to today's episode of Making Sense of Domestic Abuse. In the United States alone, over 10 million people experience domestic violence each year.

Lindsay Abernathy is a mother of four, an accomplished actress, and the host of the podcast Bitch Is A Bad Word: A Domestic Abuse Survivors Guide. Through candid conversations and expert insights, Lindsay empowers survivors to recognize abuse, reclaim their voices, and rebuild their lives.  Lindsay Abernathy's journey is one of transformation. Known for her roles in productions like Fast Five, The Walking Dead, and Avengers Assemble! Lindsay's on-screen presence was a mask for her battle off-screen.
