BB28 Thursday Night Final Four Recap Also available on YouTube. Big Brother 28 inches closer to its finale as the house faces a tense Final 4 eviction. Rob Cesternino, Taran Armstrong, Aysha Welch, and Mary Kwiatkowski break down all the moves, emotions, and strategy in this special recap episode. With big decisions on the line and bold personalities making their cases, everyone is watching to see which alliances will hold and who will land on top. This episode covers the dramatic fallout of the Final 4 eviction, where Drew surprises many by keeping Devens over Dee, shaking up everyone's predictions. The group digs into Drew's reasoning and whether it could help or hurt his game, especially since Devens is now favored as a competition threat. There's a close look at both the HoH and Veto competitions, with Taylor's crucial HOH win discussed as a turning point. The hosts debate the jury's likely reactions, how social ties and past promises might weigh on votes, and the emotional toll on players, especially when longtime allies face off. Taran Armstrong points out that Drew's choice to keep Devens, described as “illogical” even by Drew, may still leave him a path to win if he can take out Devens at Final 3. Aysha notes the jury's reaction may depend heavily on whether Drew finally makes a big move, and how his endgame decisions look to the icons and Melody. Mary highlights Drew's reputation as a “weasel” in the house, and how perception could impact his jury chances versus Taylor. The hosts share a funny moment about the cast's attempts to open a champagne bottle as the Final 3 celebrate, mirroring Drew's sometimes bumpy gameplay. Alliances and trust are on shaky ground as the houseguests, and the jury, prepare for the last round of gameplay. Will Drew's risky move pay off, or did he just give Devens a clear shot at the win? Listen in for all the strategy, analysis, and house drama as Big Brother 28 heads into its final showdown. 00:00 Big Brother 28 Final 4 Recap 06:24 Drew's Game-Shifting Eviction Choice 12:00 Rick Devens' Persuasion Pays Off 17:10 Jury Impact and Final 2 Paths 24:07 Dee Valladares' Exit and Legacy 28:53 Survivor Players Compete in Big Brother 34:04 Veto Puzzles and Competition Highlights 42:12 Taylor Brown's Path to Victory 47:04 Final 3 HOH Stakes Raised 51:24 Jury House Sparks and Reactions 58:06 Rick Devens as Big Brother Icon 1:03:30 Countdown to Finale and What's Ahead Never miss a minute of RHAP's extensive Big Brother coverage!

What if one unsolicited demo, sent to an artist you had never met, set the direction of your entire career? In this episode, John Petrocelli, founder and CEO of Bulldog DM, shares how encrypting a copy of Purple Rain and sending it to Prince's organization led to building the first direct-to-consumer music service for a major artist, and eventually to one of the most experienced livestream studios in the world. John has powered livestreams for Coachella, the Masters, the Royal Wedding, the Grammys, and the Oscars. He has been in the industry for 20 years, almost as long as it has existed. This conversation covers the mentors who shaped that path, including Prince and Mark Cuban, and why he believes there has never been a better time to enter the space. [00:04:13] What He Does and Who He Serves Founder of Bulldog DM, the world's most experienced livestream studio Provides turnkey services and strategy for clients mastering live video Clients range from AT&T and Coca-Cola to ad agencies, social platforms, and sports teams Just celebrated 14 years in business [00:05:39] Why Live Video Exploded The pandemic made live video a globally adopted behavior almost overnight Grandparents used Zoom, students took distance learning, trade shows went virtual The market corrected coming out of the pandemic Netflix has since gone heavily into live with NFL games, the Home Run Derby, and WWE [00:07:12] Where the Industry Is Now Netflix reports roughly 250 million people consuming ad-based video Amazon, YouTube, and Hulu are all cranking out live content Paramount announced a seven-year, seven billion dollar UFC deal days after the Skydance acquisition Every major platform now has live capability built in [00:08:43] The AEG and YouTube Years Sold his boutique livestreaming company into AEG AEG owns Coachella, a third of the Lakers, the Kings, and venues worldwide Pitched YouTube on entering live and ran a proof of concept with Alicia Keys in Times Square American Express sponsored it and the results opened the door [00:10:00] Starting Bulldog DM Too Early Powered Coachella, Bonnaroo, Rock in Rio, product launches, and movie premieres on YouTube Spun out believing this was clearly the future Without the AEG and YouTube anchors he had to start over Realizes now he started the business a little early [00:10:21] What Being Early Actually Gave Him Sat down with brands and agencies on Madison Avenue and just listened Kept hearing the same challenges: cord-cutting, brand safety, and ad blocking Brands also needed to reach a generation that values experiences over possessions He built the business specifically to address those problems [00:11:00] Why Watch Time Matters So Much Advertising is one of the most disintermediated industries there is Done properly, they can unlock 5 to 30 minutes of watch time for a brand Human attention span has fallen from about 12 seconds to below eight this century Live, collaborative, participatory experience is what counteracts that [00:12:22] How He Got Into Streaming Entered during the format wars between Windows Media, QuickTime, and RealPlayer Worked in content delivery, supporting every format as neutral ground His LA clients were broadcasters, studios, record labels, and sports entities That vantage point gave him an early look at where things were headed [00:13:00] The Call from Apple Apple approached him about their happiness with his QuickTime work in music An artist wanted to do direct distribution themselves That artist was Prince, and John was a massive fan He was already thinking about how content would need to be monetized and protected [00:13:45] The Purple Rain Demo Pulled a copy of Purple Rain off a file sharing network Had an engineer encrypt it so playback required authorization Non-members paid 99 cents; fan club members paid 77 cents Prince replied in the middle of the night: this is exactly what I want to do [00:14:27] Building for Prince Built the first direct-to-consumer music service for a major artist Prince filled it with audio, video, unreleased material, and live footage He then asked for a ticketing platform so fan club members got the best seats Fans signed up for both the content and premium access to the comeback tour [00:15:15] The Night the Light Bulb Went On Saw two back-to-back warm-up shows at the House of Blues in Las Vegas at 2am Both nights had completely different set lists Realized there would come a day when this became a shared experience An amplified audience tuning in together alongside the people in the room [00:16:04] Surviving the Industry's Early Failures The industry was remembered more for failures than successes early on The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show famously crashed the internet An Oprah livestream faced the same problem The industry only rose once bandwidth became ubiquitous [00:17:39] The First Mentors: Rob Hale and Tim Leiweke Worked for Rob Hale at a Boston telecommunications company in his twenties Hale is now a self-made billionaire and minority owner of the Boston Celtics He famously gives graduates two stacks of cash, one to keep and one to give away Tim Leiweke at AEG was the other major leadership influence [00:18:33] What Prince Taught Him Fearless in trying, always wanting something new and different Wrote two songs a day and left a vault of roughly 4,000 unreleased pieces Played 23 instruments and produced hits for many other artists Was a major philanthropist who deliberately kept it private [00:19:30] Why Mark Cuban Is the Godfather of Streaming Wanted to hear his college basketball games from out of market in Dallas Friends would hold phones up to radios on speakerphone so he could listen He worked out how to encode and distribute that audio feed AudioNet became Broadcast.com, which Yahoo bought for $5.7 billion [00:20:38] The Lessons He Took from Cuban Read everything Cuban wrote and followed every interview Sales cures all, whether you are starting a company or running one No customers means no company Watched a Delta in-flight masterclass twice and emailed him afterwards [00:22:38] Client Impact: Winning AT&T Called on AT&T repeatedly before finally getting a meeting Won the chance to livestream the Masters through AT&T's sponsorship Delivered multiple camera feeds including Amen Corner plus a layered leaderboard Persistence was the Mark Cuban voice in his head [00:24:00] Assertive, Not Aggressive Aggressive puts people off and passive gets you put off Assertive sits in the middle and leads with value and information AT&T came back asking how to tell their 5G story away from market noise [00:24:30] The 5G Fan Zone AT&T signed major partnerships with the NBA and NCAA Tentpole events have multiple brand nights leading up to the main event Built a 5G fan zone streaming performances over a pop-up network at the venue Viewers could switch camera perspectives, including cams that were Samsung Galaxy phones [00:26:20] Twenty-Two Executions and Counting Deployed across NBA All-Star concerts, the Final Four, and college football playoffs Streamed audio in stereo when most social platforms were mono The digital audience was far larger than the in-room audience Roughly 22 executions across the AT&T portfolio with strong results [00:28:30] Final Word: There Has Never Been a Better Time Livestream e-commerce is roughly a $500 billion business in China TikTok Shop launched in the US in September 2023 It is predicted to do about $26 billion this year, more than Target, Lowe's, and Best Buy combined Live shopping has lowered return rates by about 40% because buyers can ask questions   KEY QUOTES "The general human attention span at the beginning of the century was about 12 seconds, and now it's fallen to below eight." - John Petrocelli "If you're aggressive, you're gonna put people off. If you're passive, they're gonna put you off. But if you're assertive, and you're providing value, that can lead to success." - John Petrocelli CONNECT WITH JOHN PETROCELLI Website: https://www.bulldogdm.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnpetrocelli Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jjpetrocelli Thanks for tuning in!

Felicia Cannon on BB28 Unlocked Ep Recap, Week 11 Also available on YouTube. Big Brother 28 is down to the wire as power shifts and fractured trust create uncertainty in the house. This recap of the Unlocked episode, hosted by Chappell and joined by Mary Kwiatkowski and special guest, BB25’s, Felicia Cannon (and then, straight from the set of Unlocked, Rob Cesternino!). Together, through the lens of the BB Awards, they break down the fallout from the latest double eviction, major alliance cracks, and the gameplay of the remaining houseguests. This episode recaps the BB Awards while diving into the aftermath of Melody’s pivotal Head of Household and Veto wins, which led to a dramatic choice: target Yash, the comp beast, or Dee, the strategic threat. Felicia shares that she thinks getting rid of Yash instead of Dee was a mistake for Melody’s endgame, while Mary reflects on just how tough Melody's position is, regardless of her move. The discussion covers how Drew now finds himself vulnerable due to alliance flip-flopping, and how Devens and Dee seem to control the vote as the Icons solidify their grip on the game. Chappell and Felicia point out the growing tension as endgame decisions loom, especially concerning who to take to the final two. Felicia says Melody hurt her own game by not taking out Dee and predicts Melody may be out next. Mary highlights the built-in advantage for Survivor alumni entering as the Icons, especially since the twist gave them extra safety and a strong starting alliance. Chappell spots Drew's lack of loyalty as a fatal flaw and notes how this may hurt him with the jury if he makes it to the end. Rob shares his experience presenting on Big Brother Unlocked and talks about the excitement of the BB Awards and its impact on the houseguests' morale. Felicia questions whether production's powers and advantages for returning Icons make the game less fair for the newbies. With alliances shifting and the Icons approaching the end, will the remaining houseguests make the bold moves needed to claim victory, or will the Icons steamroll their way to a win?

Charlie Villanueva sits down with Thanasis Antetokounmpo and Tony Cartagena on Gruber Law Office's Thanalysis for one of the most honest and wide open conversations we have had on the show. Thanalysis is also presented by Potawatomi Casino Hotel in Milwaukee and McDonald's.  As a rookie he dropped 48 points on the Milwaukee Bucks, and then days later got traded to Milwaukee, a city he fell in love with and called one of the three best years of his career, funny how things work like that. He also breaks down what it was like being ranked number three in the country in high school behind only LeBron James and Luol Deng, playing alongside Deng as teammates for three years, almost going to Indiana together, and then meeting him in the Final Four.

(1:07:05-1:20:59) – Steven St. John from Sports Radio 810 in Kansas City makes an appearance on Query & Company to give the Kansas City Chiefs perspective to Sunday’s game. How do people in Kansas City view the Indianapolis Colts? Are the Chiefs going to rely on the run this season instead of Patrick Mahomes? How much does Travis Kelce have left in the tank?

Welcome to the first episode of Small Talk: The Lab with LaKeitha Poole, Assistant AD/Sport Psychology & Counseling, and Tyrus Thomas, a Baton Rouge native and former LSU Basketball star from 2004-06, who led the Tigers to the Final Four.Poole and Thomas bring listeners a new perspective beyond the box score, analyzing how mental health impacts performance on the field, on the court, or in the game of life.

He is a lifelong runner, having competed in cross country, indoor track, and outdoor track in high school, earning six MVP awards, and later going on to six marathons, including a top 500 finish at the Boston Marathon. Other highlights include Masters All-American in middle distance events in track and field in his 40s, 50s and 60s as well as being faculty partner to track and field at Penn State for seven years. Between the Associated Press and Penn State, he has reported or edited on sports from every continent except Antarctica: six Super Bowls; five national (college) football title games; two Olympics; two Paralympics; two World Cups; the 2023 Women's World Cup; Final Four; and Little League World Series.

This week, Stay Outta My Fridge is heading to Mexico… without actually leaving the kitchen. Beard Laws bought a giant assortment of Mexican candy packed with roughly 50 pieces, and most of the crew has absolutely no idea what they're about to eat. Avery, Iyla, Lo, Meg and Beard Laws dig through the bag to find the candy that looks the best, the candy that looks the most terrifying and, eventually, the best and worst Mexican candy of the entire taste test. Things get weird quickly. There's gummy spaghetti with sauce, pickle flavors, watermelon candy, mango lollipops covered in chili, mystery powders, cinnamon and peppermint gum, spicy strawberry candy and several creations that lead to one very important question: Why is there chili powder on EVERYTHING?! The crew starts with a reigning champion and puts each new candy up against it. Then everyone gets to choose a candy for somebody else before things descend into a rapid-fire speed round. Eventually, the best candies make the Final Four — while one particularly rough family of candies earns the unofficial "Why Did Mexico Do This?" award. And after dozens of bites, licks, questionable smells and immediate regrets, something completely unexpected happens: Everyone agrees on the winner. Which Mexican candy takes the championship? Which one belongs in the trash? And was buying this giant bag actually worth it? Grab a snack and join the chaos. Stay Outta My Fridge is a food, family and comedy podcast featuring taste tests, food challenges, weird snacks and the conversations that happen when you put a bunch of family members around a table and start feeding them questionable things. If you've tried any of these Mexican candies, tell us what we got right, what we got completely wrong and what Mexican candy we NEED to try next.

Rommel Corro is the Head Coach and General Manager of the Austin Bats of the American Basketball Association.  He led the Bats to the ABA Championship in the 2025 - 2026 season.  Corro was named the 4th head coach of the Austin Bats in 2018, taking over after the team reached the 2017–2018 ABA Finals. Originally from the Philippines, Corro played high school varsity basketball in Lamar, Missouri, and is a U.S. Army veteran. Prior to joining the Bats, Corro brought eighteen-plus years of basketball coaching experience, most of it in high-level amateur competition, winning various tournaments and league championships, as well as experience organizing leagues and tournaments. In his first season coaching at the professional level with the Austin Elite Squad in the Texas Basketball Association, he guided the team to the 2018 championship along with multiple Final Four and Finals appearances. In his years coaching the Austin Bats, the team has finished with a winning season every year, three-time Division Champions, two-time Regional Champions, reaching the ABA Final Four in 2024–2025, and winning the 2025–2026 ABA Championship. On this episode Mike & Rommel discuss his unusual path from growing up in the Philippines to becoming a basketball leader in the U.S.  Rommel explains how he played multiple sports as a kid, discovered basketball later through summer practice, and deepened his connection to the game through the Filipino community and military life. Rommel then walks through his journey organizing Filipino leagues and eventually coaching the Austin Bats, including the roster-building, scouting, and mental preparation that helped fuel championship runs. He also breaks down how the ABA is structured, how the Bats fit into the Austin sports scene, and what it meant to win a title as a team. The conversation highlights perseverance, leadership, and the joy Rommel finds in building a team that keeps growing together.

This week, we are so excited to be joined by Lacie Saltzmann, who is a rising sophomore at the University of Minnesota. Lacie had an incredible freshman season, where she was a mainstay in the Gophers' bars and floor lineups, posting career highs of 9.9625 and 9.925, respectively. She, of course, helped her team advance out of the toughest regional to move on to the NCAA Championships and then helped the Gophers make history by advancing to the Final Four for the first time ever. Individually, Lacie ended the season with First Team All-America honors on bars and is hungry to do even more in her sophomore season. Lacie joins us to look back on last season and talk about how she ended up at Minnesota, her passion for baking, how she overcame her fear of twisting, and so much more.Thank you to our monthly Patreon supporters: Lee B, Cookiemaster, Happy Girl, Erica S, Semflam, Amy C, Becca S, Cathleen R, Faith, Kerry M, Derek H, Emily, Sharon B, MSU, Kimberly G, Lela M, Mara L, Jenna A, Alex M, Dana, Lidia, Maria P, Alicia O, Cristina K, Hayley B, Bethany J, Kentiemac, Marni S, Betny T, Emily C, Cathy D, Lisa T, Libby C, Thiago, Debbie, Taryn M, Amy M, Chuck C, Kaitlin, Susan P, LFC_Hokie, Ella, Kay, Julie B, Austin K, Jane, Sarah, Amy, Stephen S, Johanna T, Alison S, Alberto D, Kristina T, Abigail W, Jennifer K, Kate M, Naomi S, Claudia L, Erin L, Thomas B, Lauren D, Kihika M, Beth C, Amy, Renee PM, Ryan V, Brandon H, Okcaro, Tyler, Paola, Heather, Kate, Danielle, ALittleUnderRotated, Lacy, Dana C, Grace, Pat G, Lexi G, Laura N, Kathy, Katie A, Róisín, Megan J, Emily D, Britton, Ry Shep, Reyna G, William A, MB, Jackson G, Stella, Ulo F, Noah C, Melissa H, Alexis, William M, Susie, Leslie G, Catherine B, Laura L, Katy S, Kathy M, Kathy S, Okcaro,  JD B, Cookiecutter, SuniFan, Caroline M, kcmojojojo, Sammy S, Fabio B, Lacie M, Sara G, Kerry H, Leah D, Margaret G, Molly, ClemsonTigersFan, Lisa B, Sarah M, Grace M, Laura A, Justin D, Jas, Kendrick C, Rich A, Ty T, Nick S, Becky E, Melody M, Stacey M, Erica H, Kathy, Teressa, Angela C, Bridgett C, Ashley D, Whitney J, Shelly A, Erika B, DFP, Lisa M, Samantha T, Mallory D & Ann P!

Friday Night Audit gives hotel company presidents a dangerous combination: cocktails, bad ideas and three people absolutely convinced they know how to run the business better. Red Roof President Zack Gharib made the mistake of joining us this week. We insisted our advice was genius. Zack knew better. Between drinks, Craig Sullivan started designing a red-jacket tradition for Red Roof, Suzanne Bagnera battled technical problems, I kept one eye on a pork butt creeping toward 205 degrees, and Zack kept the whole thing moving despite the rest of us. Then we reached the Final Four of the Friday Night Audit Hotel Pet Peeves contest — the Four Horsemen of Hotel Misery — with Outlet Desert facing Identical Dispenser Bottles for a trip to the championship round. Suzanne picked a side. Zack picked a side. Craig picked a side. I mostly tried to keep the pork alive. See who Zack backed, hear the ideas we tried to foist on him, and find out how much nonsense one hotel president tolerates before happy hour ends. #FridayNightAudit #RedRoof #HospitalityIndustry Want the weekly roundup of news, videos, and what you might've missed from #NoVacancyNews?

Turnbuckle Tavern is powered by G FUEL and Official Dick Lazer. Use code TAVERN for 20% off at GFUEL.com and DickLazers.com. Episode 204 of Wrestling Tonight begins in Japan, where G1 Climax 36 is officially down to Yota Tsuji, Ryohei Oiwa, Callum Newman and Yuya Uemura, guaranteeing a first-time tournament winner. Tsuji faces Uemura and Newman meets Oiwa in the semifinals Saturday, August 15 at Ryogoku Sumo Hall, with the winners advancing to Sunday's final. Both blocks ended with three wrestlers tied at 12 points. In A Block, Tsuji, Oiwa and Konosuke Takeshita all finished 6-3, but Tsuji and Oiwa advanced because both held head-to-head victories over Takeshita. Oiwa clinched his spot by beating Takeshita in the final A Block main event, while Tsuji defeated Jake Lee and benefited from Great-O-Khan eliminating Boltin Oleg by countout. B Block produced almost the same situation, with Newman, Uemura and Gabe Kidd all finishing 6-3. Kidd's losses to both semifinalists eliminated him on the head-to-head tiebreaker. With Tsuji already holding the IWGP Heavyweight Championship, the stakes are different for the other three. If Oiwa, Newman or Uemura wins the G1, that wrestler earns a future championship opportunity against Tsuji. If Tsuji wins, the reigning champion would presumably be positioned to select his own future challenger. Saturday's tournament matches will not headline the show, however. Hiroyoshi Tenzan wrestles the final match of his NJPW career against longtime TenKoji partner Satoshi Kojima in a five-minute exhibition, followed by Tenzan's retirement ceremony. The show begins at 2 a.m. Eastern on NJPW World. We then turn to Adam Copeland's first appearance inside Arena México, where he received a reaction he compared to one of the defining moments of his career. Tony Schiavone revealed that after AEW Grand Slam Mexico, he contacted Copeland to ask whether he had ever experienced a crowd response like it. Copeland's comparison was his 2020 WWE Royal Rumble return, when he returned to the ring nine years after neck issues had seemingly ended his career. Arena México had been a bucket-list destination for Copeland, and Bandido provided additional context for what the building represents by comparing it with Korakuen Hall, the Tokyo Dome and Madison Square Garden. Bandido described competing inside Arena México as the type of achievement that allows someone to call themselves a "real luchador." Copeland is also preparing to check off another deeply personal venue on October 3, when he wrestles for Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling at the Mattamy Athletic Centre in Toronto, located on the grounds of the former Maple Leaf Gardens. Copeland has called Maple Leaf Gardens his wrestling "hallowed ground" and explained that Tony Khan allowed the appearance because AEW and Maple Leaf Pro are partners, Khan wants professional wrestling to flourish and he understood what the opportunity meant to Copeland personally. We also break down the growing uncertainty surrounding Bayley's WWE future. Bayley has reportedly been offered a new WWE contract but has not signed it, and there is conflicting information about exactly when her current deal expires. Bayley's own comments from April 2025 point toward October 2026, Fightful has reported that the deal is expected to expire by the end of 2026 unless additional time is added, and Bryan Alvarez has heard January 2027 but has not been able to verify that date. Dave Meltzer says Bayley has a decision to make and confirmed that she will not become a free agent in August. The speculation intensified after Bayley posted a training video featuring Mercedes Moné, captioned it "all or nothing, baby" and used the song "All In." WrestleVotes reported through Fightful Select that the post raised eyebrows backstage in WWE and did not land well with everyone. Despite the obvious AEW references, the available contract timelines make an appearance at All In on August 30 extremely unlikely. The bigger story is whether Bayley eventually re-signs with WWE or becomes one of wrestling's biggest free agents later this year or in early 2027. Swerve Strickland is also back in AEW, making his first appearance since losing to Will Ospreay in the Owen Hart Foundation tournament final at Forbidden Door. Swerve and Prince Nana confronted AEW World Trios Champions Hangman Page, Bandido and Brody King before Ricochet, The Demand and Lethal Twist entered the picture. With Jay Lethal, Blake Christian and Lee Johnson challenging Hangman, Brody King and Bandido for the Trios Championship on Collision, Swerve immediately finds himself surrounded by old enemies and a developing championship program. We also discuss the Fightful Select report that Austin Creed and Kofi are expected to join AEW soon. The report stopped short of confirming that either has officially signed, and no debut date has been established. The timing naturally creates speculation around All In, while both men have also been announced for Chris Jericho's Rock 'N' Wrestling Rager at Sea cruise in November. AEW All In 2026 continues to take shape at Wembley Stadium. Kenny Omega defends the AEW World Championship against Will Ospreay, Willow Nightingale defends the AEW Women's World Championship against Mercedes Moné, and Adam Copeland & Christian Cage defend the AEW World Tag Team Championship against The Young Bucks. One of the biggest additions is Kyle Fletcher defending the AEW International Championship against Konosuke Takeshita and Kazuchika Okada. Takeshita defeated Okada for the title at Double or Nothing before Fletcher defeated Takeshita at Beach Break. Importantly, Takeshita has since left the Don Callis Family, while Fletcher and Okada remain aligned with Callis, adding another layer to the three-way. Kevin Knight defends the TNT Championship against Darby Allin in a Falls Count Anywhere match, with Knight entering their fourth singles meeting holding a 2-1 advantage. The men's Casino Gauntlet will begin with Andrade El Idolo entering No. 1 and MJF entering No. 2. MJF secured his position by defeating Mike Bailey and Nick Wayne on Dynamite, guaranteeing that his rivalry with Andrade will be part of the match from the opening bell. The winner receives a future AEW World Championship opportunity. The Wembley card currently includes Kenny Omega vs. Will Ospreay, Willow Nightingale vs. Mercedes Moné, Adam Copeland & Christian Cage vs. The Young Bucks, Kyle Fletcher vs. Konosuke Takeshita vs. Kazuchika Okada, Kevin Knight vs. Darby Allin, Divine Dominion vs. The Brawling Birds, the men's Casino Gauntlet and the Continental Challenge Cup Final. We also look at the latest Wembley ticket business. WrestleTix reported exactly 38,909 tickets distributed as of August 12, an increase of 1,400 over the previous four days. The current setup is 45,023, leaving 6,114 available and putting AEW at approximately 86.4 percent of its currently configured inventory. All In 2024 finished with 53,922 tickets distributed, meaning the 2026 show currently sits 15,013 tickets behind that mark. With All In taking place August 30, AEW now has 16 days to continue closing that gap, although matching the 2024 total would also require thousands of additional seats to be opened. Additional 500-level inventory has already begun to appear. Be sure to support the show and join our Patreon for just $2.99 a month at Patreon.com/TheTurnbuckleTavern for exclusive content. Follow us on social media @TurnbuckleTavern for all the latest updates. Until the following week, when we wine and dine with you kings and queens, stay out of the alley and away from the pork and beans. Good luck and good speed.

In this episode, John continues his conversation with John Ray, diving into how genuine relationship-building — through remembering the small details, sending handwritten notes, and giving without expecting anything back — sets you apart in business. They also discuss the role faith plays in leadership and business, the real definition of success, and how joy differs from happiness. About John Ray: After a successful career in investment banking, investment management, and strategic advisory, John Ray left the corporate world in 2013 to build his own business. It didn't take long to find the gap nobody had prepared him for: he routinely undervalued his own expertise, struggled to set prices that matched the outcomes he delivered, and watched his clients do the exact same thing. He spent the next several years figuring out how to fix it, for himself first, then for the consultants, coaches, attorneys, CPAs, fractional executives, and other expert practitioners who hire him today to gain clarity, confidence, and profitability through positioning, pricing, and value-based business development. That work became his first book, The Generosity Mindset: A Journey to Business Success by Raising Your Confidence, Value, and Prices (2023). His second book is set for release in the first quarter of 2027.
