What does it really take to be a sports agent in the modern era of NIL, the transfer portal, revenue sharing, and constantly changing college football? On this episode of The Gametime Guru, Shane Larson sits down with longtime professional sports agent Brian Levy, Founder and CEO of Goal Line Football. Brian has been an NFLPA-certified agent since 1990 and has spent more than three decades representing players and coaches while watching the business of football completely transform. From NFL contracts and coaching negotiations to NIL agreements involving athletes who are still in high school, Brian provides an inside look at what athlete representation really looks like in 2026. We discuss how Brian unexpectedly became a football agent after a chance encounter at a sneaker store, why relationships became the foundation of his entire career, and why honesty and loyalty still matter in an increasingly transactional sports industry. We also dive deep into the modern college football landscape, including: How NIL has changed the role of a sports agent The impact of the transfer portal and revenue sharing What high school athletes should consider before choosing a college Why young athletes need to understand taxes, LLCs, saving, and investing How parents can prepare themselves for NIL negotiations and recruiting The dangers of inexperienced people negotiating deals for athletes Why Brian believes the obsession with building an athlete's "personal brand" is often overhyped What actually creates a valuable brand for an athlete Why NFL organizations continue to make mistakes when hiring head coaches Why being a great coordinator doesn't automatically make someone a great head coach The story behind Mike Tomlin getting his opportunity with the Pittsburgh Steelers Why relationships, trust, honesty, and loyalty have defined Brian's career Brian also shares some powerful perspective from more than 35 years in the sports business, including why he doesn't measure success simply by money or the number of clients he represents. For Brian, success is about the relationships he has built and the impact people have had on one another along the way. If you're a high school athlete, college athlete, parent, coach, sports agent, athletic administrator, sports business professional, or college football fan, this conversation provides a fascinating look behind the curtain at the rapidly changing business of football.

Halloween season is taking over the theme park industry — and apparently everybody wants some of Universal's IP money.On Episode 275 of the Vacationeers Theme Parks & More Podcast, Tom and Jon look at the growing battle over licensed Halloween properties as Six Flags, United Parks and Universal roll out some big-name horror franchises.Six Flags is bringing Jason Voorhees to select parks with JASON: Blood Reign, while Cedar Point and Kings Dominion are opening a portal to Blizzard's Diablo franchise.United Parks is making one of its biggest moves yet into licensed Halloween IP, bringing I Know What You Did Last Summer to SeaWorld parks and Anaconda to Busch Gardens Tampa and Williamsburg. We go through the latest Howl-O-Scream houses and scare zones, along with some interesting comments from United Parks management about why IP could become increasingly important to the event.Over at Universal, Ozzy Osbourne: Prince of Darkness is coming to Halloween Horror Nights — and now Ozzy is getting his own themed HHN bar as well. We also discuss the latest HHN updates, Universal Orlando's 2026 holiday plans and Universal Nights tickets going on sale.Then we compare the latest quarterly results from Six Flags, United Parks and Disney Experiences. Disney had the strongest quarter of the three, while United Parks continues to see guests spend more money inside its parks even as attendance struggles.Disney is also using an internal J.A.R.V.I.S. AI system with Imagineers, and we look at what has already been revealed at D23 ahead of the big Horizons: Disney Experiences Showcase.Before the news, it's time for The Queue!Tom talks about a recent SeaWorld Orlando and Aquatica visit where he and Elena:Picked up their free Pass Member basting brushes.Hit Waterway Grill Bar's happy hour for a $5 beer and $9 cocktail.Tried the Jalapeño Cheese Warm Pretzel and Bougee Bratwurst at Red, White & BBQ — spending just 20 cents on each after using SeaWorld Bucks.Discovered Aquatica's Happy Hour promotion has ended.Ordered “single” scoops of ice cream that somehow turned into three scoops each…and then became free when the register went down.Used Beach Bucks and Pass Member discounts to grab kids meals and beers at Waterstone Grill for final out-of-pocket totals of just $2.67 and $2.71.Tom also talks about getting to Busch Gardens Tampa for Kumba's final weekend, arriving for 8 a.m. early entry and getting three final rides on the legendary coaster.And naturally, since every theme park company is licensing an IP for Halloween now, Tom has an announcement of his own:The IP-licensed Pitch Perfect condo Halloween event is apparently coming soon.
Kurt Taylor: Rebuilding Ridgevue Football Through Culture, Leadership, and Hard Work What does it actually take to build a winning football culture? In this episode of The Gametime Guru Podcast, Shane Larson sits down with Kurt Taylor, the head football coach at Ridgevue High School, for a powerful conversation about coaching, leadership, adversity, player development, community buy-in, and what it takes to build a football program the right way. Coach Taylor brings more than 20 years of coaching experience to Ridgevue football, and this episode goes far beyond the scoreboard. We talk about his football journey, growing up in Oregon, dealing with serious injuries as a high school athlete, the mental health challenges that came with losing the opportunity to play college football, and how coaching became the calling that helped shape his life. This conversation is especially valuable for athletes, parents, coaches, and leaders who want to understand what culture really means inside a program. Coach Taylor shares what it has been like stepping into the Ridgevue football program, how he is working to build trust with players, parents, coaches, and the North Nampa community, and why consistency matters when a program has gone through multiple coaching changes. One of the biggest themes in this episode is that culture is not just something you say. It is something you build every single day through standards, expectations, relationships, core values, and the experience players have inside the program. In this episode, we talk about: Kurt Taylor's football journey and how he fell in love with the game Growing up in Oregon and knowing early that he wanted to coach How injuries impacted his football dreams The mental health side of losing opportunities as an athlete Why hard work is the great equalizer How coaching became his calling What brought Coach Taylor from Oregon to Idaho Why Ridgevue football has a unique opportunity right now How to rebuild trust after multiple coaching changes What real football culture looks like Why parents, players, coaches, and community all matter How Ridgevue is building from the youth level up The importance of player leadership and leadership councils Ridgevue players to watch this season Why the weight room is the foundation of a successful football program Why Coach Taylor believes the power clean is one of the best lifts for football players What Ridgevue fans can expect from the program moving forward Coach Taylor also talks about the importance of developing young men beyond football. His goal is not just to build better athletes. It is to help players become better leaders, better teammates, and better people who can take the lessons from football into the rest of their lives. We also dive into the importance of the weight room, strength and conditioning, speed development, and mental toughness. Coach Taylor explains why the weight room is where athletes build more than strength. It is where they learn how to push through discomfort, respond to adversity, and build confidence that carries into the fourth quarter and beyond. Whether you are a Ridgevue football fan, a Treasure Valley sports fan, a high school athlete, a parent, a coach, or someone who loves conversations about leadership and sports, this episode gives a great look at what Coach Taylor and his staff are building at Ridgevue High School.

Is the AI industry actually overbuilding, or is the physical world moving too slowly to keep up? In this episode of the MAD Podcast, OpenAI's Head of Industrial Compute, Sachin Katti, takes us inside the "belly of the beast" of what may be the largest infrastructure project in human history. We explore the staggering physical reality of the AI boom—from $50 billion supercomputers and liquid-cooled data centers that "turn electrons into tokens," to overhauling the U.S. power grid and exploring nuclear energy. Sachin also pulls back the curtain on OpenAI's Stargate strategy, their move into custom silicon with Project Jalapeno, and the mind-bending reality that AI is now beginning to design the very chips that will power its own future.(00:00) — Cold open: “One of the largest things humanity has ever built”(00:30) — Welcome: Sachin Katti, Head of Industrial Compute at OpenAI(01:44) — Is this the biggest infrastructure buildout in history?(03:41) — Why OpenAI is building a new industrial muscle(04:54) — What an AI data center actually is(05:27) — “Factories turning electrons into tokens”(06:35) — Why AI data centers need liquid cooling everywhere(08:10) — The power problem: grids, generation, transmission, substations(10:43) — Behind-the-meter power and gas turbines(11:02) — Why nuclear “can't come soon enough”(11:49) — Jalapeño: why OpenAI is designing its own AI chips(13:19) — Tokens per watt: the new metric that matters(13:38) — Why inference may now dominate AI compute(14:58) — Is OpenAI overbuilding compute?(16:47) — Why OpenAI thinks the bigger risk is not building fast enough(17:55) — Communities, jobs, water, and the local data-center debate(21:16) — How OpenAI chooses data-center sites(22:25) — What “industrial compute” means inside OpenAI(25:59) — Sachin's path: Stanford, startups, Intel, OpenAI(28:05) — OpenAI's compute portfolio: Microsoft, hyperscalers, neoclouds(29:37) — Stargate explained(31:21) — Abilene, Oracle, and the next wave of AI data centers(32:48) — How massive AI compute gets financed(34:05) — How OpenAI designed Jalapeño so quickly(35:59) — AI is starting to help design AI chips(36:20) — MRC: the networking problem behind 100,000 GPUs(38:47) — Bottlenecks: transformers, turbines, electricians, supply chains(40:29) — Guaranteed capacity: intelligence as a supply unit(42:08) — Will AI data centers move to space?
This week on SB Talks, CEO Vincent O'Neill and CIO Nick Ryder unpack the key themes driving markets, from rising geopolitical tensions in the Strait of Hormuz through to the next phase of the AI arms race. They discuss a proposed US shipping toll and what renewed instability in the region could mean for global energy markets, before turning to how major technology companies are increasingly developing their own AI chips to reduce costs and lessen their reliance on Nvidia. The conversation also touched on growing concerns that the surge in AI infrastructure and data centre investment could add to inflation pressures in the short term, even as productivity gains remain a longer-term benefit.

Frédéric Guitton: How iTarget Golf Is Gamifying the Future of Driving Ranges What if the driving range became more than just a place to hit a bucket of golf balls? In this episode of The Gametime Guru Podcast, Shane Larson sits down with Frédéric Guitton, Chief Revenue Officer of iTarget Golf, to talk about golf technology, driving range innovation, sports business, and how gamification is changing the way people experience the game of golf. This conversation is for golfers, driving range owners, golf course operators, sports entrepreneurs, families, and anyone interested in how technology can enhance sports experiences without taking away from the game itself. Frédéric shares how iTarget Golf is helping driving ranges create a more interactive and memorable experience through LED targets, interactive bay lights, ball tracking integration, and gamified golf experiences that reward players in real time. Instead of the traditional driving range experience where someone simply buys a bucket of balls and hits into an open field, iTarget Golf helps facilities create moments of instant feedback, competition, and entertainment. The goal is to make practice more fun, help golfers build confidence, attract new audiences, and give range owners new ways to grow their business. We talk about the gap between traditional golf practice facilities and high-end golf entertainment venues, and why there is a huge opportunity for driving ranges to become more engaging, more visual, and more family-friendly. Frédéric also explains several iTarget Golf products and concepts, including Night Saber, Strike Point, in-bay interactive lights, and Cash Cup Golf. Each product is designed to create a better player experience while also helping golf facilities improve customer retention, increase engagement, and create new revenue opportunities. In this episode, we talk about: How iTarget Golf is gamifying the driving range experience Why golf technology is changing the way people practice How LED golf targets create instant feedback for players Why driving ranges need to think beyond buckets of balls How range owners can create better customer experiences The difference between traditional golf practice and golf entertainment Why families and casual golfers are important to the future of golf How driving ranges can attract a wider audience How gamification can help build golfer confidence Why technology should enhance the sports experience, not take it over The business side of golf facilities and revenue growth Affordable installation and practical implementation for range owners Weather, maintenance, warranty, and operational questions How iTarget Golf is installing systems around the world The future of sports technology and golf innovation One of the biggest themes of this episode is that technology works best when it enhances the experience. Frédéric explains that the mission is not just to sell targets. It is to help create better memories, better practice sessions, better family experiences, and more opportunities for people to fall in love with golf. Whether you are a golfer looking for a more enjoyable way to practice, a driving range owner looking to grow your business, or someone interested in the business side of sports technology, this episode offers a fascinating look at where golf entertainment is headed.

OpenAI entre à son tour dans la course aux puces d'intelligence artificielle conçues sur mesure. À la fin du mois de juin, l'entreprise a présenté « Jalapeño », son premier processeur maison, développé principalement pour les tâches d'inférence. L'inférence désigne la phase durant laquelle un modèle déjà entraîné produit une réponse, génère du texte ou exécute une instruction.La puce est fabriquée par Broadcom, mais sa conception a été menée par les ingénieurs d'OpenAI, avec l'appui de Broadcom et de Celestica. Selon les informations communiquées, neuf mois seulement se sont écoulés entre les premières étapes du projet et la version finale prête à entrer en fabrication. Un calendrier particulièrement court pour un composant aussi complexe. Jalapeño doit devenir le premier accélérateur d'une plateforme informatique pensée pour plusieurs générations de puces. Les trois partenaires veulent ainsi améliorer la rapidité, la fiabilité et l'accessibilité des services d'intelligence artificielle d'OpenAI.Broadcom et Celestica ne se limitent pas à la fabrication du processeur. Ils prennent également en charge l'industrialisation de l'ensemble de la plateforme : intégration des puces dans des racks de serveurs, mise en réseau des équipements et création de chaînes de production capables de monter progressivement en puissance. OpenAI présente Jalapeño comme une puce adaptable, conçue pour prendre en charge les principaux grands modèles de langage. Les premiers exemplaires produits par Broadcom exécutent déjà certaines charges de travail d'apprentissage automatique, notamment GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark. L'entreprise affirme que les performances observées correspondent aux objectifs fixés.Les caractéristiques techniques restent toutefois largement inconnues. OpenAI n'a pas précisé la puissance de calcul, la consommation électrique ou la finesse de gravure. Sur une photographie publiée par le groupe, on distingue néanmoins huit emplacements de mémoire HBM autour de la partie centrale du processeur. Cette mémoire à très haut débit est essentielle pour alimenter rapidement les accélérateurs en données. Le déploiement de Jalapeño est annoncé pour la fin de l'année 2026. OpenAI veut l'utiliser sur plusieurs générations de plateformes. Cette stratégie suit celle de Google, déjà doté de ses propres accélérateurs, tandis qu'Anthropic étudie également des solutions personnalisées. Pour les géants de l'IA, maîtriser les modèles ne suffit plus : il faut désormais contrôler aussi les puces qui les font fonctionner. Hébergé par Acast.

On Episode 310 of The Six Five Pod, Patrick Moorhead and Daniel Newman unpack the biggest stories from the week, including insights from Qualcomm Investor Day 2026, OpenAI and Broadcom's Jalapeño AI chip, Anthropic's Micron partnership, SpaceX's massive Reflection AI compute deal, Sakana AI's new Fugu orchestrator, and why memory is emerging as a critical layer of AI infrastructure. Plus, Bulls & Bears covers NVIDIA's $25B bond offering, Apple's MacBook price increases, Micron's record quarter, and Cerebras' first earnings as a public company. The handpicked topics for this week are: Qualcomm Investor Day 2026 — The Data Center Debut: Pat and Dan break down Qualcomm's push into the data center after the company took the stage with Microsoft's Satya Nadella and Meta's Mark Zuckerberg as named customers. They unpack the new Dragonfly platform, including the C1000 250-core data center CPU with PCIe Gen 7 and CXL, the AI200 and AI250 inference accelerators, and a novel High Bandwidth Compute (HBC) architecture that stacks compute under LPDDR memory at dramatically lower cost than HBM. They highlight Qualcomm's ambitious growth targets: $15B data center revenue target for FY 2029, an increased total non-handset revenue goal from $22B to $40B, and a shortened timeline for automotive revenue by two years. They also debate the identity of Qualcomm's unnamed hyperscaler customer and why its robotics opportunity may be flying under the radar. (The Decode) OpenAI and Broadcom Unveil Jalapeño, OpenAI's First Custom Chip: A photo of Sam Altman and Hock Tan holding a wafer and packaged die kicked off OpenAI's reveal of Jalapeño, a custom inference chip built with Broadcom and slated for late-2026 deployment. The chip reached tape-out in roughly nine months, which is an aggressive cycle for an ASIC of this size, and uses HBM3E memory. Pat takes a victory lap on his long-standing heterogeneous compute thesis: every hyperscaler and now every model lab is building accelerators, and the XPU efficiency argument has played out as predicted. Dan frames OpenAI's broader move as existential: they cannot serve frontier models at premium margins if compute remains constrained. He flags that OpenAI is trying to do everything from chips and fabs to social networks and browsers, and that its IPO is now delayed. (The Decode) Anthropic and Micron Sign a Strategic Multi-Year Memory Agreement: Anthropic and Micron announced a multi-year supply agreement for HBM, DRAM, and SSDs, including co-designed next-generation memory for AI workloads, along with a strategic investment by Anthropic in Micron. The pattern mirrors Samsung and SK Hynix's pre-funding Anthropic in May, and follows OpenAI's Jalapeño as another frontier lab moving to lock in supply chain control. Dan frames it as the same circular financing playbook NVIDIA ran two to three years ago, but with the ball now in the memory triopoly's court. Pricing-floor agreements with no ceilings, customized rather than commoditized memory architecture, and demand running well past the previously assumed 2027-2028 horizon. Pat notes that the rumored 14% free cash flow margin at Anthropic makes the strategic investment math work cleanly for both sides. (The Decode) SpaceX Signs $6.3B Compute Deal with Reflection AI: SpaceX inked a $6.3B compute lease with open-source AI lab Reflection AI, at $150M per month from July 2026 through 2029, giving Reflection access to NVIDIA GB300 chips inside the Colossus infrastructure. Combined with the $920M-per-month Google compute contract and existing xAI commitments, SpaceX now has a contracted backlog larger than most public AI startups' entire revenue base, with some calling it the largest commercial AI infrastructure provider at $80B in contracted revenue. Pat reads it as XAI failing to land with developers, consumers, or enterprises, leaving SpaceX with a pot of gold worth far more as wholesale capacity than as XAI's own training compute. Dan flags that Google owning 7% of SpaceX ahead of an IPO is not accidental, and the open question is whether this becomes a Nebius-style infrastructure trade or a full-stack Google-equivalent platform. (The Decode) Japan's Agentic Orchestrator Sakana AI Ships Fugu Plus and Fugu Ultra: Japan's Sakana AI released Fugu Plus and Fugu Ultra, an agentic orchestrator built on a multi-agent MOE approach that routes workloads across multiple underlying models rather than training a new frontier base model. Sakana claims agentic capabilities on par with or better than top frontier models at significantly lower input/output token costs, similar to the DeepSeek and GLM cost-undercut narrative. Pat compares the architecture to OpenRouter and notes the developer-facing parallel to Perplexity Computer's model-routing approach. Both agree that models themselves are no longer moats, and suggests the real moat is the harness, tooling, connectivity, looping, agentic stack, and total compute availability. Expect more sovereign agentic plays from Japan, the Middle East, and elsewhere on the same template. (The Decode) The Flip — Is the Era of Memory as a Commodity Over? Daniel takes the FOR side: memory has moved from commodity to strategic AI infrastructure, citing 16 multi-year agreements covering $22B in committed volume booked through 2027, 84.9% gross margins higher than NVIDIA's, the technology barriers of HBM yield/stacking/packaging that only three companies can clear, and demand drivers tied to HBM as the binding constraint on every AI accelerator rather than to elastic consumer cycles. Patrick takes the AGAINST side: long-term agreements and SCAs signal a commodity in a strong cycle, not a structural rerating; nearly every relevant memory standard — DDR5, MRDIMM, HBM3/3E/4, LPDDR5X/6, GDDR6/7, LPCAM2 — is JEDEC-standard and therefore commodity at the pin; and CXMT's China DDR5 production ramps in 2H 2026 with Lenovo already shipping and HP and Dell qualifying. Custom HBM4 and Qualcomm-style HBC are where strategic memory genuinely lives. (The Flip) NVIDIA's $25B Investment-Grade Bond Offering: NVIDIA priced a $25B multi-tranche bond offering on June 15, its first investment-grade debt sale since 2021, with seven tranches maturing between 2028 and 2056 and $85B in orders against an initial $20B target. Dan reads it as raising when capital is cheap, and oversubscription is real. NVIDIA doesn't need the money, it has a gold balance sheet, and is establishing a credit benchmark rather than funding CapEx. Pat agrees the optics are clean, but flags the irony of NVIDIA, with negative debt, borrowing while the stock trades like dead money at a sub-20x forward P/E. Both note that NVIDIA's underperformance reflects the market's skepticism on memory-as-strategic and on NVIDIA's own capex pace relative to the buildout opportunity ahead. (Bulls & Bears) Tim Cook Calls Apple's Memory Crunch Price Raises on MacBook and iPad "Unsustainable": Apple announced MacBook and iPad price increases of up to $300, with Tim Cook telling the WSJ the memory cost environment is unsustainable. AAPL fell ~5% on the news, the broader rally was momentarily wiped out before Micron held the gains by close. Dan frames it as a moment when the market saw who is going to pay for the AI buildout: the consumer. He notes Apple's pricing power and inelasticity test is now live. Pat traces the backstory to Apple's negative-margin pricing pressure on Micron during the 2022-2023 memory downturn. The question is whether consumer-price blowback will eventually flow back to the memory vendors. (Bulls & Bears) Micron Blows the Doors Off Fiscal Q3 — $41.46B Revenue, 84.9% Gross Margin: The memory story continues as Micron reported its largest beat in company history with fiscal Q3 revenue of $41.46B versus a $35.69B consensus, EPS of $25.11, year-over-year growth of more than 340%, and a record 84.9% gross margin that is roughly 10 points above NVIDIA's. Q4 guidance came in at a $50B midpoint against a $43B consensus. The 16 multi-year strategic customer agreements add up to $22B in committed volume, with most contracts containing pricing floors but no ceilings on most of the volume — a structurally asymmetric setup. Pat notes 95% of the beat came from price, not units, which reinforces his commodity argument; Dan flips it as the early innings of an NVIDIA-style run that puts Micron's 2027 profit on par with Google. (Bulls & Bears) Cerebras' First Earnings Report Since IPO — Revenue Doubles, Margins Compress: Cerebras (CBRS) reported its first earnings as a public company, doubling year-over-year revenue and beating the top line while missing EPS, but the stock sold off hard amid gross margin deterioration. Core revenue came in at $191M, up 12% sequentially, with a $194M Q2 guide that is essentially flat, core gross margins at 47% guiding to 36-38% and 38-41% for the year, and operating margins flipping from positive 2% to a guided -30% to -32%. Customer concentration is shifting from Core42 and G42 (86% of FY25 revenue) to OpenAI, which loaned Cerebras $1B and gets paid quarterly in warrants. Pat flags that Cerebras' uncontested speed claim is no longer uncontested with Groq, TPU v8i, and Tenstorrent putting up real numbers. Cathie Wood is down 52% on her position.

Jake O'Neil: From Fruitland, Idaho to Professional Basketball Overseas How does a small-town athlete from Fruitland, Idaho go from motocross, golf, and no major basketball recruiting spotlight to playing professional basketball overseas? In this episode of The Gametime Guru Podcast, Shane Larson sits down with Jake O'Neil, a professional basketball player whose journey is anything but ordinary. Jake grew up in Fruitland, Idaho, where basketball was not always the main focus. Before chasing basketball at the highest levels, he spent much of his early athletic life around motocross and golf. Jake opens up about what changed when he started taking basketball seriously, how the weight room transformed his game, and why strength, confidence, and preparation became such important pieces of his development. He also shares the adversity he faced after a major leg injury and a difficult season of life that forced him to rebuild mentally, emotionally, and physically. From there, Jake's story becomes one of belief and opportunity. After starting college as a golfer at Boise State, he eventually walked on at the College of Idaho with one mindset: all he needed was a shot. That opportunity led to a standout career, a College of Idaho national championship, a move to Division I basketball at Idaho State, and eventually a professional basketball career overseas. This conversation is packed with lessons for athletes, parents, coaches, and anyone chasing a goal that might not look realistic from the outside. Jake's story is about betting on yourself, staying ready when opportunity comes, building toughness through adversity, and learning how to become a professional before you ever get paid to be one. In this episode, we talk about: Growing up in Fruitland, Idaho Why Jake focused on motocross and golf before basketball How strength training changed his basketball career Why the weight room matters for young athletes Overcoming a major leg injury before his senior season Choosing Boise State golf before returning to basketball Walking on at the College of Idaho Winning Freshman of the Year as a walk-on The College of Idaho national championship run What made that C of I team special Transitioning from NAIA basketball to Division I at Idaho State How rebounding became Jake's calling card What overseas professional basketball is really like The mindset required to keep chasing the next level Whether you are a basketball player, coach, parent, Idaho sports fan, College of Idaho fan, Idaho State fan, or someone who loves an underdog story, this episode with Jake O'Neil is one you will want to hear.

Jon and Austin kick things off by trying Jalapeño Popper snack sticks made by a Walton's salesman, testing if a flavor profile like this (without a dedicated snack stick seasoning) can still be turned into a great snack stick. They also celebrate Patrick's win at correctly guessing a lineup of different seasonings... mostly. The guys get into the idea of “pickle season” and all the ways that flavor can show up in meat snacks, and wrap things up with a wild clip of a beaver attacking eight people, bringing the usual mix of meat talk and unexpected chaos.
I started humming. Then I started singing nonsense as a vocal stim. Then words like mayonnaise showed up. And somehow… it turned into a song about jalapeños. Do you also miss the jalapeno of happiness?

This week on Militantly Mixed, I'm joined by Noelle Blanco, whom I met at Mixed Asian Day 2025 in San Francisco. Noelle ended up joining our We Are Not a Monolith panel at literally the last possible minute, when she had just stepped off stage from another panel, and we invited her to jump in with us because we loved her whole vibe on the previous panel. With no prep whatsoever and me moderating the panel, she did her thing and just killed it!One of my favorite Noelle stories from the panels at Mixed Asian Day, and this episode comes from her childhood. When she would explain her ethnicity, she thought the answer was “Pork and Cheese and Jalapeño,” because that is what Portuguese, Spanish, Chinese, and Filipino sounded like. I love finding the different ways we, as Mixed kids, try to make sense of our ethnic identities. This episode was recorded back in November, but the last few months have been a little rough on my end. I'm happy to report that now that the ADHD medication that was making me feel completely dead inside is finally out of my system, I'm feeling like myself again and excited to be back working on the show.In this conversation, Noelle and I talk about Mixed Asian identity, belonging, and community, and how events like Mixed Asian Day create space for multiracial people to share their stories and experiences. We also dig into the idea that Mixed people are often expected to fit into neat categories when the reality is far more complicated.Meeting people like Noelle at events like Mixed Asian Day is one of the things I love most about doing this podcast. It's a reminder of how powerful it can be when Mixed folks gather together, share our stories, and remind each other that we are not a monolith.I'm really glad I get to share this conversation with you all.Support Militantly MixedIf you enjoy the show and want to help keep conversations about mixed-race identity, multiracial community, and intersectional experiences going, there are a few ways you can support:Visit the Website https://militantlymixed.comLeave a Review or Send a Voicemail Your reviews help new listeners discover the show, and I love hearing from the Mixed Cousins community.Support on Paypal https://paypal.me/MilitantlyMixedShop Militantly Mixed Merch Logo tees, “Mixed & Hella Queer,” and more.Follow Militantly MixedInstagram: @militantlymixed Bluesky: @militantlymixed Facebook: Militantly Mixed Podcast
It's a spooky Friday the 13th on the Options Insider Radio Network! This week, the panel gathers to dissect a market that is being haunted by more than just superstitions. From explosive moves in energy to a bond market that is sending shockwaves through the 60/40 portfolio, the "murderers' row" of vol experts covers it all. On the Docket: The Energy "Memification": Mark Sebastian breaks down the "algo madness" in Crude Oil and why the move to $120 was a mechanical outlier. The Bond Market Cracks: Dr. Russell Rhoads and Jim Carroll discuss why "9 Vol" in the 10-year Treasury is the equivalent of a 40 VIX and what it means for interest rate expectations. VIX as a Passenger: Why the VIX is "yawning" at 27 despite the red across the screens. The Weekly Rundown: Dr. Rhoads reviews a litany of "crappy trades" and highlights a massive 20,000-lot mystery trade in the VIX weeklies. Crystal Ball: Will next week bring a "Jalapeño" spike or a "Vanilla" retreat? The team places their bets on the next VIX settlement. Featuring: Host: Mark Longo, The Options Insider The Greasy Meatball: Mark Sebastian, Option Pit The Professor Dr. VIX: Dr. Russell Rhoads, IU Adjunct Professor The Vixologist: Jim Carroll, Ballast Rock Private Wealth
Today, Jon and Austin jump into a fun mix of food debates and taste testing. They start by discussing pizza toppings that might be red flags in men, sharing the funny, oddly specific, and surprisingly passionate opinions people have about what's on a slice. Jon then serves up his homemade Jalapeño Popper Sliders, and the guys dig in to give their honest thoughts. To wrap things up, they break down food labels (Clean Label vs. Organic) and debate which one matters more and which they'd prefer to eat. It's a lively, flavorful episode full of laughs, insights, and great food.
