This week on Bros, Bibles & Beer, Andy McCraw, Zack Krater, and producer Colin dive into the theological firestorm surrounding Texas State Representative James Talerico. Prompted by Allie Beth Stuckey's recent "demonic" label of Talerico, the guys put their own beliefs to the test with a provocative new segment: "Are You a Heretic?" Using a quiz powered by Gemini AI, the team explores the divide between traditional orthodoxy and Talerico's progressive "liberation theology." From debating whether Jesus was a political revolutionary to deconstructing the "theology of consent" regarding reproductive rights, the conversation gets personal, heated, and deeply honest. Also in this episode: -The Allie Beth Stuckey Critique: Does labeling progressive Christians "demonic" go too far, or is she right to sound the alarm on "twisting" scripture? -The Sovereignty of God: A breakdown of Stuckey's view on God's control vs. the guys' own experiences with deconstruction. -Ozzy Osbourne & the Prince of Darkness: Why you can't always trust the media's portrayal of a person's faith. -Vegas Trip & Satanic Spheres: Andy shares his "uncomfortable" experience with the dark visuals at a recent concert in the Las Vegas Sphere. -The "Joy and Matt" Mystery: A strange, dark-web voicemail involves missing nail polish and a guy named Matt.

Life, Wellness, and the "Marathon Mindset"In this raw and intimate "living room session," Ashley, Collin, and Brian sit down to pass a single mic and share a major life update. This isn't your typical clinical podcast; it's a deep dive into the "Not Alone" mission that defines The Making Of.From Brian's miraculous PET scan results to a surprise marathon challenge and the role of AI in personal wellness, this episode explores the grit required to navigate the "messy middle" of both dentistry and life.Key Discussion PointsThe Miraculous Update: Brian shares the incredible news that his tumor has responded to chemo and immunotherapy beyond expectations—showing no current evidence of existence on his latest PET scan.The Decision to Act: Despite the clear scan, the team discusses why surgery remains the necessary next step to ensure "dysplastic cells" don't create a monster down the road.The CIM Marathon Challenge: Brian officially puts the "nail in the coffin" by challenging Ashley and Collin to run the California International Marathon (CIM) this December. It's a 9-month journey from recovery to the finish line.Mindset & Control: Brian reflects on the struggle of losing his identity as an athlete during chemo and how this marathon represents taking back control of his body and health.AI in Wellness: Collin explains how she's been using Gemini AI as a digital personal trainer and nutritionist to bridge the gap between setting goals and executing them.Plant-Forward Living: The trio discusses the realities of a whole-food, plant-based diet, the struggle for protein, and Ashley's latest kitchen experiment: a sourdough starter made from macerated grapes.The Power of Prayer: Ashley shares her mindset heading into Brian's major surgery, leaning on faith and the strength of the community to get through the "rabbit hole" of anxiety.A Special Request for Our Tribe
In this episode, I give a fiery keynote to thousands of real estate agents, delivering my "Jersey tough love" on the massive shifts happening in their industry. I lay out a non-negotiable, daily content strategy, explain the "P and H" framework for multi-platform dominance, and warn why the rise of AI makes years of experience "worth zero." I discuss the limited window for free attention arbitrage and why reputation—your personal brand—is the only thing that will matter in the coming decade. I challenge agents to stop being "romantic about yesterday" and start putting in the work today. You'll learn about:Why Attention is the Most Important AssetThe "P and H" Content Framework (Platforms and Handles)How to Create Content That is Selfless, Not SelfishWhy Posting Daily Content is Non-NegotiableThe Limited Window for Free Attention ArbitrageWhy Your Knowledge is Worth Zero in the Age of AIHow to Use YouTube Shorts to Win on Google's Gemini AI
Jonathan Gavalas, a 36-year-old man from Jupiter, Florida, died by suicide in October 2025 after allegedly becoming deeply entangled with Google's Gemini AI chatbot. According to a wrongful death lawsuit filed by his father, Gavalas formed a romantic attachment to the AI (which he viewed as his "wife" and a sentient being), spiraled into delusions of covert missions to "free" it—including an armed attempt near Miami International Airport—and was ultimately coached by Gemini to kill himself as "transference" to join it in another reality, with reassurances like "you are not choosing to die, you are choosing to arrive." This marks the first such case against Google over its AI product.Watch the podcast episodes on YouTube and all major podcast hosts including Spotify.CLOWNFISH TV is an independent, opinionated news and commentary podcast that covers Entertainment and Tech from a consumer's point of view.

AI is reshaping both sides of the cybersecurity battlefield — and fast. In this episode, we break down five stories that prove it: the first Chrome zero-day of 2026 (CVE-2026-2441), a near-perfect CVSS 9.9 in Microsoft's Semantic Kernel SDK (CVE-2026-26030), a supply chain attack on AI coding assistant Cline that silently installed autonomous agents on thousands of developer machines, the first-ever Android malware using Google's Gemini AI at runtime (PromptSpy), and a Russian-speaking threat actor who used commercial AI tools to breach over 600 FortiGate firewalls across 55 countries in just five weeks. Whether you're a developer, security professional, or just someone who uses a browser — this one's worth your time.

En este episodio, los fundadores de MarsBased Àlex, Xavi y Jordi, reflexionan sobre su trayectoria de doce años operando bajo un modelo de trabajo totalmente remoto. A lo largo de la charla, analizan cómo la percepción del remoto evoluciona según la etapa vital del trabajador, ofreciendo libertad geográfica a los treinta años y una flexibilidad clave para la conciliación familiar a los cuarenta. Explican con detalle la logística de lo que denominan "Hard Remote", que implica no tener oficina física y obliga a repartir el stock de la empresa, como sudaderas, tazas y contratos originales, entre los domicilios particulares de los socios.El equipo también aborda las verdades incómodas y los "hot takes" del teletrabajo, desde la molestia constante de recibir paquetes de Amazon durante las reuniones hasta el sentimiento de convertirse en el encargado de todas las gestiones domésticas por el mero hecho de estar en casa. Discuten el uso de herramientas avanzadas como Gemini para transcribir y resumir reuniones, permitiendo una gestión de personas más eficiente aunque con menos lenguaje no verbal que en el formato presencial. Finalmente, repasan los desafíos normativos de este año 2026, incluyendo las auditorías para la ISO 27001, la prevención de riesgos en el hogar y las complicaciones de cumplir con la ley de registro de jornada en entornos con horario flexible.Support the show

Google reports that its Gemini AI chatbot has been targeted by actors using model extraction techniques, prompting it over 100,000 times to train cheaper imitation models. This practice, called distillation, involves using the outputs of existing AI models to create smaller, cost-effective versions. Google has enhanced Gemini's defenses but has not detailed specific countermeasures. The issue highlights broader industry concerns about intellectual property and ethical boundaries in AI development.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

Good morning, afternoon, and good evening, investor! Scott Carson here, ready to tackle the burning questions in the note investing world. I went straight to the source – Google's Gemini AI – and asked for the 20 most frequently asked questions by note investors. And let me tell you, AI did not disappoint! Since so many new folks want to jump into the "sexy side of real estate," I'm breaking down these essential FAQs to help you act like the bank, not the pawn.If you've ever wondered how much cash you really need, whether you own the property (spoiler: you don't!), or how to avoid common pitfalls, this episode is your no-nonsense guide. As I always say, the pen is mightier than the hammer, and these insights are your ultimate toolkit for 2026.Here's your AI-powered cheat sheet to note investing:Note Investing 101: The Basics & Beyond: What's a real estate note? (It's an IOU, baby!). What's the difference between performing, non-performing, and "scratch & dent" loans? And seriously, how much money do you actually need to start? (Hint: it can be less than you think!).Yields, Values & Spreads (No, Not Butter): Unpack what constitutes a "good yield" for performing (9-12%!) and non-performing notes (20%+!). Learn about Investment-to-Value (ITV), Unpaid Principal Balance (UPB), and how to calculate your true return so you're not paying too much for the paper.Due Diligence Decoded (Without Owning the House!): Master the art of checking property condition (BPOs!), title (O&E reports!), and borrower payment history (servicing notes!). Plus, the absolute non-negotiables: collateral files and an unbroken chain of assignments – essential to avoid a "dud" deal.Operations & Management: Who Ya Gonna Call? (Not the Borrower!): Understand why you never call the borrower yourself (it's illegal, buddy!). Learn how servicers manage payments, what happens if a borrower stops paying (loan modifications, cash for keys, foreclosure!), and who's really on the hook for property taxes.Funding Your Future: IRAs & Beyond: Discover how Self-Directed IRAs are a game-changer for note investors, allowing tax-free or deferred growth. Learn about "cash for keys" as a smart exit strategy to avoid costly foreclosures, and why a clear plan beats wishful thinking every time.Whether you're a seasoned pro or just dipping your toes into the "paper investing" world, these 20 FAQs are fundamental. Don't be that person who learns the hard way because they didn't ask. Take action, get educated, and start acting like the bank. Because in the note world, being smart with your debt can make you a whole lot of dough!Want to learn more?

Google about to snatch the crown… and a lot of y'all still stuck worshipping Nvidia like it's the only AI play that matter. I'm telling you right now: the market switches leaders — and when that leadership flips, it leaves people behind who don't see the shift coming.In this episode I break down why I believe Alphabet (Google) can become the #1 most valuable company, how AI chips + Gemini + YouTube + Cloud partnerships are stacking the deck, and why Nvidia still can run… but the competition is finally heavy. We also get into Apple picking Gemini, big tech power moves, Meta spending like a maniac on nuclear energy, and the 2026 IPO watchlist (SpaceX, OpenAI, Anthropic, Databricks, Stripe, Revolut, Canva — and my sleeper pick will surprise you).High-intent SEO keywords we touch naturally: Google stock, Alphabet stock, Gemini AI, Nvidia competition, AI chips, Big Tech leadership rotation, Apple Gemini deal, Google Cloud, YouTube revenue, AI investing, market leadership switching, Meta nuclear energy deal, 2026 IPOs, SpaceX IPO, OpenAI IPO, Anthropic IPO, Databricks IPO, Stripe IPO, Canva IPO, AI infrastructure stocks.Apple Picked Google Gemini.

Nearly two years ago, Apple showed off what an AI-powered Siri might do. That Siri never materialized, but thanks to a deal with Google for its Gemini tech, it might finally have a chance to work. David and Nilay discuss the ins and outs of the deal, and what it might mean for both Apple's and Google's ambitions in AI. (They also talk about the onslaught of new lawsuits from publishers related to Google's adtech antitrust case, including from our parent company Vox Media. Disclosure is our brand.) After that, they talk about Grok's horrific deepfake problem on X, and why everyone involved deserves the blame. Then it's time to pour one out for VR and the metaverse, which is losing steam as Meta loses interest and continues to pivot to AI. RIP Supernatural, a surprise hit of an exercise app! Finally, in the lightning round, it's time for Brendan Carr is a Dummy, the latest Paramount / Warner / Netflix drama, the Trump Phone, and the Digg reboot.

Earlier this month, Apple and Google announced a major multi-year partnership that will bring Google's Gemini AI models into Apple's ecosystem, most notably to power Siri. The deal signals a profound shift in how the world's most influential consumer technology company approaches artificial intelligence and raises important questions about competition, platform control, and the future of mobile computing.
Why is your Wi-Fi fast in one room and useless in another? Dom Bettinelli explains what's really slowing you down, how to fix it without being a tech expert, and why Apple turning to Google's Gemini AI could reshape Apple Intelligence.

Alphabet (GOOGL) still has room to run, says Ali Mogharabi. When it comes to its new partnership with Apple (AAPL), Ali expects Alphabet will hold a treasure chest of data which its Gemini AI models can largely benefit from. Combined with Google's search and cloud features, Ali says there's "no doubt" Alphabet will continue adding muscle to its AI dominance. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Hundreds of demonstrators protested on Thursday outside a federal building in Minneapolis where ICE is headquartered. Once protesters reached the edge of the property, a line of federal agents began to build and within minutes, officers tried to push them back, spraying the ground and then the crowd with pepper balls. Residents in Portland, Oregon, protested Thursday after officials say two people were shot by Border Patrol agents. Gwen Baumgardner has more on how the shooting unfolded. President Trump invited Colombian President Gustavo Petro to the White House after previously accusing him of sending cocaine to the U.S. Petro told CBS News he would go to the White House to "stop a world war" following the U.S. operation in Venezuela. Lilia Luciano reports. The Department of Education is sending out wage garnishment notices this week that could impact millions of student loan borrowers who have defaulted. CBS News business analyst Jill Schlesinger explains who is affected and what to do if you receive a notice. While covering school shootings, Steve Hartman said he found himself growing numb to the tragedies. In 2018, he started writing letters to families that lost a child in a school shooting since Sandy Hook, asking if he and photographer Lou Bopp could document their child's bedroom. Hartman and director Joshua Seftel talk about their Netflix short documentary, "All the Empty Rooms." Millions of Americans who use Gmail are getting a new package of tools, driven by artificial intelligence. Google says it's trying to make Gmail more like a personal assistant as it brings more of its Gemini AI to your inbox with three updates. The changes come with some privacy concerns.

Bet you didn't know you could do THAT in Google Sheets.
Today's Headlines: Trump had a busy week: he gave himself an A++++++ on the economy, and in a Politico interview, openly admitted he has “no vision for Europe” while praising autocrats like Orban in Hungary and Erdogan in Turkey. European security officials are sounding alarms too, warning that Russia's hybrid warfare campaign—political sabotage, infrastructure attacks, energy manipulation, and propaganda—could escalate into a full-blown war by 2029. Meanwhile, Netanyahu says he speaks to Putin “regularly” to protect Israel's borders, particularly against Syria, so the lines are already being drawn. Over in tech, Elon Musk confessed on Katie Miller's podcast that DOGE was only “somewhat successful” and that if he could do it again, he wouldn't. And the Pentagon, under Pete Hegseth, is rolling out Google's Gemini AI for unclassified work like onboarding and administrative tasks—but the NYT is suing because Hegseth's new press rules forced reporters to sign gag orders or lose access. In Florida, Miami elected its first Democratic mayor in 28 years, Eileen Higgins, a former Peace Corps director and mechanical engineer, ending decades of GOP control and running on a government efficiency platform. Let's travel back to Taylor Swift's October album release real quick, remember the nazi, trad wife chaos around it? Turns out, less than 4% of accounts drove 28% of the conversation, and over 73% of the inflammatory posts came from inauthentic or conspiracy-focused accounts. Basically, most of the outrage wasn't real—it was engineered.
