Podcasts about fighters

On this episode of The Fighter and The Kid, Brendan Schaub and Bryan Callen are joined by comedian Nick Simmons to talk about why attention spans are completely broken, why nobody watches full podcasts anymore, and how AI and algorithm-driven content have changed comedy and media.The conversation also turns into a hilarious attempt to pronounce the hardest Russian names in the UFC, breaking down why fight fans love these moments almost as much as the fights themselves.Along the way, the guys get into clip culture, AI-generated content, Reddit and YouTube commentary, touring realities, and what it takes to stay relevant in an internet that rewards speed over substance.

So few fighters have been let go from the UFC and despite high profile wins with a fan friendly style and popularity been refused rentry into the UFC ranks. Paul Daley was one such rare where the wrong place at the wrong time paired with an awful decision meant only about 5 seconds had him literally banned for life.

On this episode of The Fighter and The Kid, Brendan Schaub and Bryan Callen break down the news that Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua is actually happening — and why this fight is way more dangerous than people think.Brendan explains why Anthony Joshua is on a completely different level as a boxer, why the size and power difference matters, and why this matchup shouldn't even be close. He also talks about why a loss wouldn't hurt Jake Paul's brand at all, but why a win would completely flip the boxing world upside down.They get into why Jake Paul's past opponents don't compare, what real heavyweight power looks like, how this fight even came together, and why this is the moment the Jake Paul experiment gets truly tested.The rest of the episode moves through road stories, hunting talk, sports, and the usual TFATK chaos.

Exposed again. An important call now exists on video. Federal civil employees, living on tax payer dollars, are working hard to circumvent our Constitution. Pay attention DOJ. Does a union for tax funded jobs make sense? There are laws covering civil service. This video should justify decertification of their federal employee union. These people are launching Influence operations against citizens. When your fight is gone, the team no longer needs you. Tiny violins rule.We watch taxpayer funded campaigns and collective action. They organized the shutdown showdown. Sabotage, slowing down government, delaying segments, MSM will never discuss this. They are part of the operation. G4P meets to plan an overthrow of the government. False flags and mass casualty events for public control. What were the goals of the Aussie operation? Exposing deception makes people angry. Distributing subversion to cover it up. Is this emergency governance or abuse of power? These are tough times for military parents. Obama, DHS and influence operations. We all must learn to forgive those who have hurt us, although it could be the hardest move of all.

“I'm not a stepping stone.” Join Ian, Liam & Megs for our 309th episode as we step into the sweat-soaked gyms, fractured families, and hard-won resilience of David O. Russell's The Fighter (2010). Lace up the gloves, tape the wrists, and prepare for a story about loyalty, damage, and the cost of fighting your way out of the place you came from.  We're bragging about knocking down Sugar Ray Leonard this week as we discuss: Christian Bale's extraordinary, Oscar-winning transformation — volatile, compulsive, heartbreaking. Is this one of the great supporting performances of modern cinema? Mark Wahlberg as Micky Ward — or is he just playing Mark Wahlberg with less swearing? Amy Adams' breakout performance — sharp, grounded, and unflinching. Did the camera take advantage of her though? The family dynamic — love, obligation, manipulation, and control. When does support turn into sabotage? Megs breaks down the portrayal of working-class women — authenticity, resilience, and why the female characters feel unusually real for a boxing movie. Ian explores how The Fighter subverts the sports-film formula — less about glory, more about survival and self-definition.  Is it even a boxing film? The documentary-style camerawork — raw, intimate, and invasive. How does the film blur the line between sports drama and social realism? The ethics of redemption — does Dicky earn his comeback, or does the film soften the damage he's done?  Which member of the cast just couldn't forgive him The boxing itself — brutal, unromantic, and exhausting. Does stripping away spectacle make the fights hit harder? The ending — triumphant, restrained, emotionally complicated or underwhelming? We unpack what “winning” actually means here. And finally, whether The Fighter is the Best Film Ever — or simply one of the most honest American sports dramas of the 21st century.

If you've ever wondered what happens when a D&D podcast accidentally becomes a Food Network special—complete with French Dips, Hot Wet Beef, Cubanos, Reubens, and enough sandwich-based emotional damage to fuel an entire barbarian subclass—this episode is for you. Before they even touch the book, the RPGBOT crew debates regional sandwiches with the same energy most people reserve for BBEGs. Then they finally tackle Part 3 of Heroes of Faerûn, where Barbarian ghosts get nerfed, Storm Heralds get swole, Cavaliers insist on riding horses in a system designed to kill horses, Monks get drunker than ever, and Oathbreakers get… surprisingly reasonable? Strap in. Bring snacks. Maybe bring a sandwich. Preferably not hot, wet, or beefy. Big news, adventurers—RPGBOT review videos may soon begin appearing in full on YouTube! That means the entire sandwich argument, every Futurama impression, every "did they REALLY rename Drunken Master to Warrior of Intoxication?" moment, all captured in glorious HD. Keep an eye on the RPGBOT YouTube channel—your long-form chaos may soon have a new home. Show Notes In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, the crew dives into Part 3 of their comprehensive review of Forgotten Realms: Heroes of Faerûn, focusing on the D&D 2024 subclass updates for Barbarians, Fighters, Monks, and Paladins. The discussion opens with a riotous tangent about regional food, French Dip heresy, and the metaphysics of "hot wet beef"—a tonal masterpiece worthy of an entire episode on its own. Once they pivot into the book itself, the hosts begin analyzing the Path of the Spiritual Guardian, Storm Herald Barbarian, Cavalier Fighter, Warrior of Intoxication Monk, and Oathbreaker Paladin, comparing their 2014 designs to their 2024 updates. Barbarian: Path of the Spiritual Guardian The hosts dig into the mechanical overhaul of Spiritual Protectors, explaining how the powerful 2014 taunt effect has been split into selectable options—Distract, Protect, or bonus damage—resulting in a strict nerf despite added flexibility. The new capstone, Vengeful Spirits, grants extra attacks on high rolls, though the table questions whether the feature fits the subclass thematically. Barbarian: Path of the Storm Herald In contrast, the Storm Herald Barbarian receives across-the-board improvements. With damage scaling tied to Rage bonus, updated terrain options, and the ability to change environments every time they Rage, Storm Herald becomes far more flavorful and versatile than its 2014 version. Tundra's new ability to subtract damage rolls from enemies is highlighted as both weird and delightful. Fighter: Cavalier The Cavalier Fighter, historically tied to a mounted combat fantasy unsupported by the 5e ruleset, receives meaningful buffs. Unwavering Mark no longer has limited uses, Ferocious Charger gains a more dynamic battlefield role, and Vigilant Defender continues to shine with additional reactions. Despite no changes to the horse-related problem ("area effects still delete horses instantly"), the subclass gets promoted to "very playable." Monk: Warrior of Intoxication One of the most dramatically redesigned subclasses, the former Drunken Master is now the Warrior of Intoxication, centered around Mystic Brew, a full brewing system that allows monks to craft beverages like Cinnamon Dragon or Heavenly Spirit. The team debates the new mechanics, including potential abuse cases involving long rests and stacked brews, while applauding the creativity. The name, however, receives… near-universal disdain. Paladin: Oathbreaker The final subclass, the Oathbreaker Paladin, cleans up many mechanical issues from 2014. Control Undead becomes the more thematic Conjure Undead, Aura of Hate integrates more cleanly with Aura of Protection, and new spell options sharpen its identity. The crew notes that the subclass finally stands independently, without requiring a friendly necromancer to function. Throughout the episode, the hosts blend detailed mechanics analysis, design philosophy commentary, subclass balance comparisons, and their signature brand of comedy—including Futurama impressions, regional sandwich wars, and multiple live hot takes. Key Takeaways Path of the Spiritual Guardian Major redesign resulted in a strict mechanical nerf, splitting the 2014 taunt into weaker modular effects. Vengeful Spirits introduces extra attacks but feels thematically disconnected. Needs another design pass. Path of the Storm Herald Substantial quality-of-life upgrades, including Rage-based terrain switching and improved scaling. Desert, Sea, and Tundra each gain flavorful new mechanics. Considered one of the biggest winners of the 2024 subclass update. Cavalier Fighter Unwavering Mark and Ferocious Charger receive meaningful buffs. Still has the same "horse fragility" problem, but the subclass is otherwise extremely strong. Gains crowd-control and tanking tools that outperform Sentinel. Warrior of Intoxication One of the most overhauled subclasses in Heroes of Faerûn. Mystic Brew adds flavorful utility but suffers from action-economy bottlenecks. Multiple "default pick" beverages suggest it still needs tuning. Creative, fun, thematically wild—but the name is universally mocked. Oathbreaker Paladin Improved spell list, more thematic undead support, and better integration with core auras. Conjure Undead makes the subclass self-sufficient. Stronger and more coherent than the 2014 version.

Let's do a deep (and by deep, I mean, exceedingly shallow) dive into the new Streetfighter and Supergirl trailers, WB superhero TV series, and my health ailments.  Just another week in the nerdyvirgin zone.  Sorry for that last sentence.  I'm not thrilled with that.

Épisode spécial du RMC Fighter club consacré au KSW 113, avec un focus sur la présence exceptionnelle de trois combattants français sur cet évènement exceptionnel ! Nous recevons le prodige Souheil Kaouchen en plateau pour évoquer son combat en ouverture de carte contre Krzysztof Geburek et revenir sur sa préparation, son état d'esprit en tant que combattant professionnel de seulement 18 ans et ses aspirations. Nous aurons également Laïd Zerhouni en direct par téléphone pour parler de son affrontement prévu contre le champion Pawel Pawlak pour la ceinture des -84 kg du KSW. Laïd nous donne ses impressions sur son nouveau statut de star de l'organisation, ce que signifierait pour lui de devenir champion dans l'une des plus grandes organisations européenne, et ses plans pour la suite. Nous évoquons aussi Romain Debienne, qui affrontera Wiktor Zalewski pour continuer sur sa lancée après sa victoire expéditive à l'Hexagone MMA.

A single win at times can be the difference between undeniable greatness and not quite. These are the MMA/UFC fighters that were so close to being considered the GOAT in their division, but either lost, left or just could quite hold on long enough.

To commemorate its anniversary on December 10th, we thought this would be a great time to reshare one of our most popular CLASSIC episodes, an interview we did with Taiwan Democracy fighter Dr. Linda Gail Arrigo, Ai Linda (艾琳達) in 2024 about events leading up to the HISTORIC Kaohsiung Incident. Related Links: https://talkingtaiwan.com/dr-linda-gail-arrigo-taiwan-democracy-fighter-talks-about-events-leading-up-to-the-kaohsiung-incident-classic-ep-336/ Last year when we were in Taiwan in January for the presidential election, we were privileged to meet Dr. Linda Gail Arrigo, Ai Linda (艾琳達) in Taipei and sat down for a one-on-one interview. Few have experienced such historic events first-hand in the way Linda has, as she speaks from the doorstep of history. Linda talked about the era and events that precipitated the Kaohsiung incident, also known as the Formosa Incident, which is widely considered the watershed moment in history that led to Taiwan's democratization. The Kaohsiung Incident happened in December of 1979 During this interview Linda talked about how, in 1975 she had been sent to observe a trial that had been stated to be an open trial but when she arrived there, she saw that it wasn't. In the face of intimidation by the Taiwan Garrison Command officers, she chose to speak up about the injustice she saw, and reported it to Amnesty International. To me, Linda's self-directed action was a moment of historic defiant courage.  Thank you Linda Gail Arrigo, Ai Linda (艾琳達) for sharing your story and for advocating for the people of Taiwan.

De nerdmeter staat weer vol in deze nieuwe aflevering van Nerd Culture. We trappen af met wat we allemaal hebben gekeken, gelezen en geluisterd, waaronder IT: Welcome to Derry, Mr. Mercedes en zelfs Troll 2. Daarna schakelen we moeiteloos door naar het grote nieuws: verse trailers voor Supergirl, Hijack en The Boys, stevige Marvel-geruchten rond Avengers: Doomsday en de vraag of AI inmiddels trailers en beelden begint te domineren.Ook bespreken we Disney's opvallende deal met OpenAI, de toekomst van Warner Bros., en waarom 28 Years Later maar blijft doorgaan. Kortom: van Stephen King tot superhelden en van Hollywood-politiek tot pure nerdhype.Avengers Doomsday is een showdown tussen Doom en CapDe geruchten rond Avengers: Doomsday nemen een verrassende wending. Waar veel fans rekenden op een frontale botsing tussen Reed Richards en Victor Von Doom, lijkt Marvel een andere, veel persoonlijkere route te kiezen. Volgens meerdere insiders draait de kern van de film om een conflict tussen Doctor Doom en Steve Rogers. Doom zou Captain America verantwoordelijk houden voor een multiverse-incursion, veroorzaakt door zijn beslissing om na Endgame in het verleden te blijven bij Peggy Carter. Daarmee verschuift de focus van een klassieke intellectuele rivaliteit naar een morele en emotionele confrontatie, met grote gevolgen voor het MCU. Wij bespreken wat dit betekent voor Doom, voor Cap én voor de richting van de Multiverse Saga richting Secret Wars.Disney sluit deal met OpenAIOok Disney zet een grote stap richting een AI-gedreven toekomst. The Walt Disney Company heeft een meerjarige deal gesloten met OpenAI en wordt daarmee de eerste grote contentpartner van Sora, OpenAI's generatieve AI-videoplatform. Fans kunnen straks met simpele prompts korte video's en beelden maken met officieel gelicenseerde Disney-, Marvel-, Pixar- en Star Wars-personages, van Mickey Mouse tot Darth Vader. Opvallend: Disney investeert tegelijk 1 miljard dollar in OpenAI, maar benadrukt dat zijn IP níét wordt gebruikt om AI-modellen te trainen en dat geen stemmen of gelijkenissen van acteurs zijn inbegrepen. Wij bespreken wat dit betekent voor creativiteit, auteursrecht en de machtspositie van Disney in een tijd waarin Hollywood steeds nerveuzer wordt van AI.Blockbuster Helden: De Adelaars van RomeEens waren ze vrienden en wapenbroeders in het Romeinse leger, de Romein Marcus en de Germaan Arminius. Maar het verraad van Arminius, waardoor drie Romeinse legioenen werden uitgeroeid, dreef een wig tussen hun vriendschap. Ze staan nu tegenover elkaar als aartsvijanden. Arminius heeft de zoon van Marcus ontvoerd en als zijn eigen zoon geadopteerd, zijn hoogzwangere vrouw Thusnelda werd door de Romeinen gevangengenomen. Haar leven is in gevaar en alleen Marcus kan haar redden.Hoewel Enrico Marini met een grote historische accuraatheid en een fenomenale stijl de wereld van De Adelaars van Rome vorm geeft, is zelfs dat niet de grote kracht van de serie. Het is vooral een serie vol emoties, zoals hij zelf zegt: ‘Iedereen kan zich identificeren met familieproblemen. Het zijn emotionele conflicten die elke lezer kan begrijpen. Het verhaal komt dan veel dichterbij. Als het emotionele aspect van een familie of vriendschap ontbreekt, wordt het verhaal minder interessant. Emotie is de kern van elk goed verhaal.'Timestamps:00:00:00 Nerd Culture #23700:01:13 Wat hebben we gekeken?00:01:20 IT: Welcome to Derry00:04:12 Mr. Mercedes00:07:05 Troll 200:12:34 Special Forces00:19:42 Blockbuster Helden00:25:12 Supergirl Trailer00:27:40 The Rock & Brendan Fraser00:31:25 Paramount vs Warner Bros00:36:00 Disney x OpenAI (Sora)00:40:12 Hijack Season 2 Trailer00:43:45 Sakamoto Days (Live-Action)00:45:48 Street Fighter Trailer00:46:08 28 Years Later00:49:31 Thor in Avengers: Doomsday?00:51:48 Sebastian Stan over Doomsday00:56:43 Doom vs Captain America01:04:00 Sigourney Weaver & Alien01:07:00 The Boys – Final Season

They survived some of the Afghanistan War's most grueling and treacherous missions. But once they evacuated to the U.S., many Afghan fighters who served in "Zero Units" found themselves spiraling. Among their ranks was Rahmanullah Lakanwal, the man charged with killing one National Guard member and seriously injuring a second after opening fire on them in Washington, D.C. on Thanksgiving Eve.NPR's Brian Mann spoke to people involved in Zero Units and learned some have struggled with mental health since coming to the U.S. At least four soldiers have died by suicide. For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org. Email us at considerthis@npr.org.This episode was produced by Erika Ryan and Karen Zamora.

Nick Simmons returns to The Fighter and The Kid for an episode that immediately goes off the rails. The guys bounce between insane documentary talk, the Helen Keller debate, wild historical conspiracies, Bryan losing his grip on reality, and commentary on some of the strangest true stories ever recorded.Nick reacts in real time as Brendan and Bryan spiral into:• The shocking new doc everyone is talking about• Historical figures with unbelievable mythology• The Helen Keller argument that breaks the room• Conspiracy rabbit holes from JFK files to intelligence agencies• Bryan's deteriorating confidence mid-episode• Absurd hypotheticals that derail every conversationEvery five minutes the show explodes into a new tangent — political confusion, celebrity scandals, bizarre news stories, coffin-waking nightmares, mustache dictators, and existential panic.This is TFATK in its purest form: chaotic, hilarious, and completely out of control.

After some dumb Dabbleverse drama about KarmicX and Felicia Gillespie breaking up, we check in on the latest from Bill Burr. It's amazing that as most of his fanbase turns on him and his numbers dwindle, he's discovered the secret of life. Ol' enlightened Billy is now struggling with how to be both happy and funny. Spoiler - he's neither.  On the Fighter and the Kid, Brendan Schaub gets very defensive when his guest, Timmy No Brakes, asks why he gets so much hate. Bryan and Brendan need to get on the same page because they seem to have very different strategies when it comes to handling detractors. Stuttering John is very upset that VTL said he's an alcoholic so he convinces his audience that he doesn't have a drinking problem. We're convinced. Adam was checking in on Opie and his new cohost, another open micer who is way too old to be an open micer. Megan joins us with another round of “Is It Gay?”, Annie is on for the second edition of the Opie or Burr game, and Cardiff leads us in a round of “To Poke A Dabbler.” We finish up with comments, reviews, and voicemails.  Support us, get bonus episodes, and watch live every Saturday and Wednesday: ⁠http://bit.ly/watp-patreon⁠ ⁠https://watp.supercast.tech/⁠ Watch this episode here: https://youtube.com/live/WubLe-a0ol8  Learn more about your ad choices.

Sometimes finishing your opponent in an MMA/UFC fight just once isn't enough. The ref is often to blame for not stopping it and making a 2nd finish happen, but the corner doesn't always stop it like they should either. Even the fighters themselves can do things to fake it and try to cheat themselves out of a loss.

In this episode of Editors on Editing, Glenn is joined by Pamela Martin. Pam has edited such excellent projects as Little Miss Sunshine, for which she was nominated for the Eddie, The Fighter, for which she was nominated for the Eddie and Oscar.

If you've ever wondered what happens when three grown adults argue passionately about grammar, moonbeams, seagulls, and the metaphysics of Strahd's horse, all before actually starting the podcast, this episode is for you. Join us as we journey into Heroes of Faerûn, where the subclasses are shiny, the Rangers are frosty, and the Fighters are apparently running a full unionized workplace. Grab your bag of rats (don't ask), center your Moonbeam, and enjoy the chaos. Show Notes In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, the crew continues their deep-dive review of Dungeons & Dragons Heroes of Faerûn, the first major D&D 2024 splatbook offering new character options, subclasses, spells, epic boons, and setting lore. Building off Part 1's work, the hosts, Randall James, Tyler Kamstra, and Ash Ely, dig into the subclass content of the book with their usual combination of mechanical rigor, Shakespearean comedy, and at least one argument about whether it's a hero or an hero. The team analyzes each of the eight new Heroes of Faerûn subclasses, comparing their final published versions to the Unearthed Arcana playtests and to classic 2014 analogues: College of the Moon Bard blends druidic flavor with support-focused magic, teleportation, and weirdly effective Moonbeam healing loops involving birds and french fries. Knowledge Domain Cleric, updated from 2014, remains a powerhouse of divination, foresight, and skill mastery—Tyler's official religion. Banneret Fighter, once the Purple Dragon Knight, is reborn as a charismatic battlefield commander who turns every Second Wind and Action Surge into a team-wide buff. "This is our subclass, comrade." Oath of Noble Genies Paladin channels elemental smites, shifting resistances, and the magic of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water into a versatile new oath. Winterwalker Ranger arrives as a chilly striker specializing in cold damage, Hunter's Mark synergies, and making Frostraven Conservationists everywhere cry. Additional discussion previews the Sign of the Three Rogue, Spellfire Sorcery Sorcerer, and Bladesinger Wizard, with the team offering insights into where each subclass sits within the new 2024 design philosophy. Along the way, the hosts recount a dramatic Curse of Strahd in-game betrayal, debate 1990s kids' TV fever dreams, and reveal how a basket of fries can become an infinite healing engine. It's a glorious mess. It's D&D. It's RPGBOT. Materials References in This Episode Forgotten Realms: Adventures in Faerun (affiliate link) Forgotten Realms: Heroes of Faerun (affiliate link) Key Takeaways General Heroes of Faerûn is the first true D&D 2024 character-option splatbook, in the tradition of Xanathar's and Tasha's, packed with subclasses, feats, spells, and lore. The majority of subclasses saw significant nerfs from Unearthed Arcana, reinforcing WotC's new balance philosophy. College of the Moon Bard A hybrid support bard borrowing from druidic themes. Strong teleport-invisibility support, limited offensive tools, and a wild Moonbeam healing mechanic ripe for table shenanigans. Knowledge Domain Cleric A faithful update of the 2014 version. Expertise in two knowledge skills, powerful divination tools, short-rest spell economy, and endgame foresight. One of the strongest "planning" subclasses in D&D 2024. Banneret Fighter A complete reimagining of the Purple Dragon Knight, now an excellent party leader and tactical commander. Shares Second Wind healing, grants team-wide advantages, and enables coordinated movement and attacks through Action Surge. Simple to play, powerful in groups, great for new players wanting high impact. Oath of Noble Genies Paladin The "elements paladin," using Elemental Smites for flavorful battlefield control. Highly flexible and accessible, though spell list may feel inconsistent. Winterwalker Ranger Cold-focused striker with explosive damage potential toned down from UA. Hunter's Mark dependency remains but gains flavorful ice-themed tools. Solid, straightforward, and thematically cohesive. Overall Subclass diversity in Heroes of Faerûn sets a strong precedent for future 2024 design. Party-support subclasses (Banneret, Moon Bard) shine particularly bright. This book positions itself as the real launch point for 2024 character customization.

Desperation US Sends Fighters Deep Into Gulf of Venezuela by Ron Paul Liberty Report

Chris "Snooze" Kurek, Rob “Trip” Raymond, and Erik“EZ” Brine chat with Mike “Pako” Benitez on all things fighter pilot culture—toast, roast, and lore.Better known as Dos Gringos, Snooze, and Trip put out 4albums of fighter pilot songs that are famous (and infamous) in squadrons around the world. EZ joined the duo to form Operation Encore in 2012, a non-profit that helps veterans get their music into the world.We dig into a century of fighter pilot history and traditions, from the origins of Dos Gringos, the squadron culture, roll call,Jermiah Weed, the ribbing and roasting, and all the camaraderie associated with military aviation.They recently brought all of that into their latest venture, Winglore Spirits, and are doing it in a unique way that brings you into the fold. Links• Sign up for the ⁠newsletter⁠⁠! • Support us on ⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠!• ⁠Winglore Spirits⁠ • ⁠Winglore Spirits⁠ investing• ⁠Dos Gringos⁠ YouTube channel  ---- Follow us on...• ⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠• Instagram⁠⁠• ⁠⁠X⁠⁠• ⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠• ⁠⁠Website⁠⁠ ---- 00:0001:47 Dos Gringos17:22 Operation Encore24:03 AI music27:27 The culture and bar origins34:27 Jermiah Weed38:13 Winglore Spirits42:03 Bogey Dope43:16 Nickel on the Grass45:29 Winglore squadron50:42 the Nellis Club52:02 Dos Gringos concert?54:45 outro55:04 Carlos jumps in56:23 I wish I had a gun like the A-10

BONUS: Testing as Measurement—Why Bug-Hunting Misses the Point With Tom Gilb and Simon Holzapfel The Revelation That Almost Caused a Car Crash "Tom said like 10 sentences in a row, kind of like a geometric proof, that just so blew my mind I almost drove off the road. I realized I had wasted hundreds of hours in boardrooms arguing about errors of which we were aware of perhaps 10%."   Simon shares the moment Tom's framework clicked for him. The insight? Traditional testing—finding bugs and defects—is the wrong focus entirely. It's a programmer's view of the world. Managers don't care about bugs; they care about results, about improvements in their business. Tom calls this shift moving from "testing" to "measurement of enhanced or increased value at every cycle." The American Toast Problem "How do we make toast in America? We burn the toast, and then we pay someone to scrape off the black bits off the bread."   Vasco invokes Deming's classic analogy to describe traditional software testing. The entire testing-at-the-end approach is fundamentally wasteful. Instead, Tom advocates for continuous measurement against quantified values. If you expected 3% progress toward your goals this week and didn't get it, you've learned something critical: your strategy needs to change. If you did get it, keep going with confidence. Four Questions at Every Checkpoint "Where are we going? Where are we now? Where should we have been at this point? And why is there a gap?"   Drawing from fighter pilot doctrine, these four questions should be asked at every micro-cycle—not just at quarterly reviews. Fighter pilots ask these questions every minute during critical missions, with clear abort criteria if answers are unacceptable. Most organizations have no abort criteria for their strategies at all, guaranteeing they'll discover failures far too late.   About Tom Gilb and Simon Holzapfel   Tom Gilb, born in the US, lived in London, and then moved to Norway in 1958. An independent teacher, consultant, and writer, he has worked in software engineering, corporate top management, and large-scale systems engineering. As the saying goes, Tom was writing about Agile before Agile was named. In 1976, Tom introduced the term "evolutionary" in his book Software Metrics, advocating for development in small, measurable steps. Today, we talk about Evo, the name Tom uses to describe his approach. Tom has worked with Dr. Deming and holds a certificate personally signed by him.
