Jay and Andrew unpack the recent sale of Heller to DN Solutions and what it reveals about brand value, culture shifts, and the economics of high-ticket, low-volume machines. They move from industry news to the shop floor, comparing palletized workholding with soft jaws, weighing costs against flexibility, and sharing how small changes can unlock significant productivity gains.Along the way, they discuss intellectual property fears, the reality of knockoffs, and why continual improvement is often the best defense. Jay shares behind-the-scenes lessons from developing new vise palettes and running beta tests, while Andrew emphasizes the importance of building trusted feedback networks. They also look ahead at sensor-driven machining, acoustic analysis, and AI applications that could reshape how shops optimize tool life and performance.

JAWS KNOCKOFFS JUNE comes to a thrilling end this week! In honor of Jaws' 50th anniversary, we've been chumming for the deep-sea movies that tried to follow Bruce the Shark's legacy, only to get deep-sixed by audiences instead. And that movie, this week, is TENTACLES - an overly-dubbed Italian production about the world's biggest lil' killer octopus. We're joined by friend-of-the-show Dave who was kind enough to play along and complete our Love of Cinema hat trick. We discuss the film's "qualities," and that is putting it nicely, because this film finally lives down to the "Jaws Knockoff" name. Thanks for joining us on this video voyage, sailors. We'll be keeping Summer hours from here on in until the fall, enjoying a bit of a break but popping up when there's something worth talking about. Have a JAWS-SOME summer, everybody! We love you all.

JAWS KNOCKOFFS JUNE continues! In honor of Jaws' 50th anniversary, we're chumming for the deep-sea movies that tried to follow Bruce the Shark's legacy, only to get deep-sixed by audiences instead. Joining us this week are TWO very special guests: John Say AND Dasein from The Love of Cinema Podcast! These cinema-loving bros are here to help us BRODOWN about Joe Dante's PIRANHA. Or Pirañha, if you're feeling zesty. How do these little mutated sawed-off sea jerks stand up to the Great Whites and Orcas we've covered thus far? And was that Charlton Heston's son in the lead role or are we high? We discuss this and more as we gush over this brilliant B-movie that chomped its way to cult glory... and right into our hearts.

MOVIES THAT MAKE SHARK WEEK LOOK LIKE SHART WEEK. Welcome to the official start of… JAWS KNOCKOFFS JUNE! In honor of Jaws' 50th anniversary, we're chumming for the deep-sea movies that tried to follow Bruce the Shark's legacy, only to get deep-sixed by audiences instead. This week, we review ORCA, the movie that pits a young Dumblebore against the undisputed king of the waters, the killer whale. Ever thought you'd see a killer whale blow up an oil refinery? Well, you will! You'll also hear Richard Harris' best Irish accent, you'll see a young Bo Derek show some skin (just not how you think!), and you'll notice some striking similarities between this and Free Willy -- especially when it comes to some of Willy's landlubber friends. Joining me this week -believe it or not- is Mark! He's back to discuss Orca, as well as A Minecraft Movie. He also goes an epic rant about his favorite movie that no one's seen, The Fall. FIN.

MOVIES THAT MAKE SHARK WEEK LOOK LIKE SHART WEEK. Welcome to our second themed month… JAWS KNOCKOFFS JUNE! In honor of Jaws' 50th anniversary, we're chumming for the deep-sea movies that tried to follow Bruce the Shark's legacy, only to get deep-sixed by audiences instead. And to kick off this Jaws-some month, we're pre-gaming with a movie that's not a Jaws knockoff at all... FREE WILLY, with special guest co-host, Jeff from The Love of Cinema Podcast. That's right, he leapt out of the voicemail box and onto the podcast. Like a fish out of water! Did this movie unintentionally push a generation of kids to Sea World? Did you know Michael Ironside was in this movie? And speaking of Michaels, we've also got Michael Madsen in tow, and MICHAEL JACKSON, singing a song you couldn't get away from in 1993. We had plenty to discuss this episode, including a spoiler-y discussion of Ethan Hunt's final(?) mission ever... Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning. FIN. Wanna be on the show?

THIS WEEK: Creature (1985), Creepozoids (1987), Shocking Dark AKA Terminator II (1987)Knockoff Month has jumped from fake Terminators to a scene-for-scene ripoff of Aliens (1986) inexplicably marketed as a Terminator sequel in Italy. Speaking of beloved knockoff auteurs, David DeCoteau once again makes his mark on the pod with the only Alien ripoff where Linnea Quigley takes a lengthy shower during an apocalyptic drought. Finally, we cover William Malone's Creature (1985) because we figured at least one of these Alien knockoffs should be set in space and feature Klaus Kinski eating a sandwich.

Jerry Rosengarten is a seasoned, serial entrepreneur and designer who, somewhat unexpectedly, created a revolution in menswear when he designed the leisure suit. However, the leisure suit's success was short-lived. Jerry reveals how knockoffs and cheaper fabrics flooded the market, ultimately leading to the downfall of his business. Through his experiences, Jerry imparts valuable lessons for entrepreneurs, emphasising the importance of pivoting in the face of challenges and having a reliable "drizzler" – a steady source of income to fall back on during tough times. His story serves as a reminder that even the most promising ventures can unravel, and adaptability is key to long-term success. … Sponsors Vanta - get 20% off security certifications like ISO27001 and SOC2: https://vanta.com/secretleaders Personio - all in one HR platform: https://personio.com/secretleaders -- Newsletter Sign up here: https://secretleaders.email/.

Jordan is a classic go-getter. At age 17, he was running a successful e-commerce site reselling knock-off consumer electronics through a website connected to a drop shipping company. Unfortunately, the tidy profit he made on a product that was perfectly legal but a wee bit questionable, put him on the radar of scammers who knew a LOT about him. Learn more about your ad choices.

Day 228 Today's Reading: 2 Peter 1 A young man was at the zebra enclosure at the Cairo International Garden municipal park and noticed something wrong about the zebras. When he took a closer look, he became convinced that the animals being touted as zebras were actually donkeys painted to look like zebras. He took a photo and posted his accusation on Facebook. The photo gained the attention of a local news team, who contacted a veterinarian, who claimed that zebra snouts are usually black, and their stripes are more consistent and uniform compared to the striping on the animal in the photo which also sported black smudging around the face. A zoo in Gaza also received similar accusations of donkey-painting in 2009. The zoo claimed they did it because of an Israeli blockade that prevented the zoo from purchasing actual zebras. Do you know what a knockoff is? It's the counterfeit of an expensive brand of anything. There are knockoff watches, pens, purses, sunglasses, almost anything. They have the same markings, and the same logo, and the same colors, but they are the cheap versions of designer pieces. You buy them on the street instead of in the store. A knockoff Rolex is about $15. A knockoff Montblanc pen is about $10. A knockoff Coach purse is about $25. The knockoff has the same outward markings but lacks the craftsmanship. Knockoffs are exposed by time and use. If it's real, it lasts. If it's real, it can endure. If it's real, you'll know it because it doesn't diminish even when it faces harsh circumstances. In today's chapter, Peter has something significant to say about the real thing. He starts off with comparing his faith and the new church's faith, which is separated by decades: “Simon Peter, a bond-servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have received a faith of the same kind as ours, by the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 1:1). He is writing to Christians who “received a faith of the same kind as ours.” These words are significant. This epistle was written in AD 68, and Peter's time with Jesus was in the late AD 20s. Some forty years later, Peter makes this bombshell statement—that these believers' faith is the same kind as his. Think of this. He is telling them that they have the real thing, not some knockoff or second-rate faith.” Think too of who is saying this. It is someone who talked with Jesus, saw His miracles, witnessed the transfiguration (Peter speaks about that at the end of this chapter), saw Christ die, saw Him after He rose again, ate a fish dinner with Him, and saw Jesus taken up in the ascension. And he tells these Christians forty years later that their faith in Jesus and his faith in Jesus is the same! When I was a student at Baylor University, I did not have a lot of spending money. My father sent me $75 a month. I remember all these students walking around campus with Ralph Lauren Polos, and I desperately wanted one. The problem was that I did not have $32 to buy one. Then one day, I saw a guy selling knockoff Polos on a street corner in Waco, Texas. They were only $5. Now I get to be like everyone else, I thought, as I forked over $5 for a knockoff purple Polo. I noticed that the rider of the horse and the horse itself were slightly detached, but hey, it was only $5! I wore my Polo one day and then washed it. It went from a Large to a 2T. The wash shrunk it. When it's real, it lasts. When it's real, time is not an enemy. It is a revealer. Peter's and these Christians' faith are real. It can go through hard times, denial times (Peter knows about that), scared and cowardly times (Peter knows about that), and still come out the same. Hard times, harsh circumstances, persecution, tribulation—none of these will be able to take away that faith when it's real. And if anyone should know, it's Peter. Peter knows it's the same because these Christians are going through the persecutions of Nero. They are faced with death, and yet their faith stays intact. That's the same kind of faith. Two thousand years later, the faith that you and I have in Jesus Christ is the same as the apostle Peter's in the first century. Time doesn't shrink it or change it. It just reveals if it's real. We have a real faith that can and has stood the test of time. No knockoff. We have the real thing. We don't have to paint the donkeys. We've got the real zebras. We've got real faith.
Amazon's big private-label business is growing, and it's leaving small business brands in a battle to protect themselves from cheaper knockoffs. Airlines are saying they're green, but the industry is fighting against emission rules. And Neil Saavedra joins the show for a new edition of 'Foodie Friday' and he brought a special guest with him!
