Frank and Shirley break down Survivor Season 49, Episode 7 as the tribes merge and the game resets. A frantic key scramble sets the tone, Sage cashes in a big advantage, Sophie wins a tough endurance immunity, and social dynamics flip as power players collide. We talk production tidbits from Jeff's podcast, the ethics of camp life moments, and how this vote sets up the sprint to Season 50.00:00 — Welcome, merge setup, why strong players suddenly look exposed00:42 — Who's actually playing: Sophie's edit, Sage vs Savannah confusion, early reads01:33 — Challenge format love: two-phase competitions and rare endurance twists02:10 — Nate's arc and classy exit, what his jury seat means02:26 — Shannon reactions, production realities, camp logistics from “On Fire”03:49 — “Bottoms Up” alliance forms: Steven, Joanne, Sage04:25 — Why the blue camp, sustainability notes, challenge field turfing05:50 — Idol information warfare: blaming Shannon for Rizzo's idol leak06:13 — Why Savannah is the next big target06:38 — Chest advantage drops, mass key scramble, behind-the-scenes camera chaos09:51 — Sage unlocks the chest and a huge challenge advantage10:04 — Merge sunrise, shifting pairs, and soft alliances11:49 — The chicken moment and how the audience reacts every season13:29 — Sage recruits Sophie and Joanne, locks on Savannah14:52 — Earn the merge meal: team lineups and the boulder course16:16 — Puzzle phrase trick, Alex's athletic leap, yellow team wins merge meal17:33 — Individual immunity on the beam: elimination order and Sophie's win for her mom18:52 — Jeff teases two Season 50 spots, who looks ready to seize it21:25 — Feast fallout, who's calm, who's plotting, and why timing matters22:03 — Mick's idol hunt, Savannah vs Mick footrace for the key, vote restored23:29 — Rizzo briefs Savannah, Sophie aims to break the trio, Stephen floated26:16 — Tribal talk, Rizzo flashes idol, votes land, Nate becomes first jurorSage's chest advantage was massive. Skipping phase one secured food and energy for the endurance round.Sophie's immunity win came on a genuinely nasty balance setup. It also gave quieter players room to change gears.The edit is spotlighting a few likely Season 50 figures, which compresses screen time for subtle operators.Idol intel is currency. Pinning the leak on Shannon keeps suspicion off Sage and keeps options open.Mick is a gamer. The head-to-head key lunge with Savannah and reclaiming her vote were pivotal for the merge math.Rizzo showing the idol without playing it protected Savannah enough for the plan to hold.Nate on the jury is big for Rizzo and Savannah. He clocked who flipped in seconds, which will shape Ponderosa talk.“You can't hide behind good players anymore.”“She's incredibly forgettable. It's not her fault. The editors did her wrong.”“Target the leader. Savannah runs the show.”“That's how you do it on Survivor.”“If you're getting to the end now, it won't be because you got carried.”Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GeekFreakspodcastWhat do you think was the smartest move after the merge feast: flashing an idol, hunting one, or locking votes early?

I'm joined by stand-up and TV writer Alex Ward! We get into the perils of lesbian dating, Christian camp crushes, ghosting someone for being 6'6”, and the dark art of emotional manipulation (for love).We unpack chaotic first dates, surviving adult timeout at a Gold Coast pub, the lesbian Urge to Merge, and why every queer couple ends up dressing the same.Plus: Taylor Swift conspiracy theories, OF thirst follows, blobbification, and pretending to like Jesus just to get the girl.It's unhinged, confessional and cathartic, perfect for anyone who's ever ghosted out of guilt, fake-read Jordan Peterson for a crush, or been too gay for Saudi Arabia.#datingpodcast #lesbiantiktok #datingadvice

Embrace the Unknown. Here's the Real Path to Channeling. Here's something I want you to know right now: we've hit a turning point.The winds are shifting into brighter days. Yes, in human time—chronos time—the manifestation might take a little longer to reveal itself fully. But trust this: you are already a conduit for high-frequency energies.And you don't need some elaborate spiritual setup to access them.You can channel while lying in bed. You can channel while watching a sunset, standing near a tree, or simply noticing a flower. The gateway is presence, not performance.I'm inviting you into a short guided meditation today. Find whatever helps you relax and open up. Because right now, the energies being summoned are potent, and they're available to you.Someone Needs to Receive This—And THAT IS YOU. Many concerned souls are sharing this planet's revival right now by summoning them through prayer, intention, and hope.And someone needs to receive what's being called forth. Why not you?Here's what I've learned: the questions we ask direct our lives. We might as well benefit from living in these times, especially when so many around us feel disillusioned and disenfranchised.When you receive these energies, you can share them simply by offering presence with family and friends. By writing a book. By being in reverence through prayer.Now is the time to open your heart center. To live in the unknown so the old patterns can diffuse and your heart can birth what's ready to come through.We Are All Connected—And What You Receive Benefits EveryoneYou are connected through the collective consciousness of humanity on Earth. This isn't abstract spiritual theory. It's the truth of how energy moves.What you receive doesn't just benefit you. It ripples outward. It benefits everyone.So as you begin this meditation, ground yourself. Open your energetic heart. Prepare to connect with higher-frequency beings of love and light.Focus on activating your energy healing abilities. Deepen your connection to the frequencies of light.Notice the Love Inside Your BodyHere's where things get interesting: notice the love in your body versus looking for something outside of yourself.Often we don't even realize we're relying on outdated patterns or external validation to fuel us. We're running on autopilot, seeking approval, waiting for permission, or looking for someone else to tell us we're on the right path.True inner power and created space will uplift you in the coming days. They will sustain you on your journey.Unconditional self-love is at the heart of everything. It's what helps you hold space for others. It's what connects you to your purpose. It's what aligns you with the energies calling you forward.Each time you engage with this practice, you clear old patterns of self-doubt. You bring in frequencies that support compassion, acceptance, and inner peace.What This Meditation Will Do for YouThrough gentle relaxation and mindful breathing, you'll release tension and set a clear intention for your journey.You'll be guided to root deeply into the earth while opening your crown to receive pure, healing light from your higher self.This meditation will help you:* Move energy throughout your body — grounding your soul's light and opening your heart to receive and translate messages with clarity* Release fears or blocks around channeling — especially by clearing and balancing your throat chakra so your voice can carry what wants to come through* Clear your energetic pathways — using vocal toning to attune your body to the frequencies of the beings you wish to channel* Merge with high-frequency energies — allowing their loving messages to flow through you naturally and effortlesslyThe practice culminates in a beautiful merging. Then you'll be gently guided back to full presence in your body—grounded, centered, and honoring the wisdom you've received.A Safe and Nurturing SpaceThis meditation offers you a safe and nurturing space for deepening your spiritual connection and opening your channeling abilities.You don't need credentials. You don't need years of training. You don't need to prove yourself worthy.You simply need to show up, open your heart, and allow yourself to receive what's already waiting for you.The energies are here. The support is here. The transformation is here.All you need to do is say yes.All my love, and more channeled insights to come to support your connection to teh divine.

In this episode, hosts Chris Boyer and Reed Smith explore what it takes to build a future-ready marketing organization that connects intelligence to impact. They break down why the next phase is about velocity—turning insight into action—rather than visibility alone, and how maturity depends on integration, governance, and access to data. Then, Priyama Barua of Merge joins the conversation to discuss findings from her latest marketing maturity research. She shares how high-performing health systems operationalize insights, the gaps holding teams back, and what the next three to five years could look like as marketing evolves from a campaign function to a growth ecosystem. Key themes: Why speed of learning and action will define the next era of digital marketing How unified data, AI, and governance reshape marketing's role in growth The CMO as ecosystem integrator across brand, access, and operations Practical steps to move from campaign cycles to continuous learning Mentions from the Show: Marketing in healthcare: Improving the consumer experience Accenture Technology Vision 2024: “Human by Design” Technologies Will Reinvent Industries and Redefine Leaders by Supercharging Productivity and Creativity PriyamaBarua.com Priyama Barua on LinkedIn Merge Marketing Maturity Study: Results and Analysis Reed Smith on LinkedIn Chris Boyer on LinkedIn Chris Boyer website Chris Boyer on BlueSky Reed Smith on BlueSky Learn more about your ad choices.

Ian Bergman sits down with entrepreneur and author Alistair Croll, Founder of Fwd50 a to unpack ideas from his new book Just Evil Enough: The Subversive Marketing Handbook. They explore why product-market fit is no longer enough, how product-market-medium fit wins today, and why legitimacy—not features—decides who gets chosen in crowded markets.Croll shares a builder-friendly approach to go-to-market: crafting “zero-day” marketing moves, spotting weak signals, and exploiting asymmetries competitors can't or won't match. From Dropbox's built-in virality to IKEA's customer-assembled value chain and Taylor Swift's “Taylor's Version” legitimacy hack, Ian and Alistair map the playbook for standing out when anyone can “vibe-code” a product.You'll hear a timely framework for the era of a million tiny horses (niche winners), the shift from an attention economy to an outcome economy, and a clear ethical line—Don't Actually Be Evil—for running bold, subversive campaigns without crossing into fraud or harm.TakeawaysThink in mediums: Aim for product-market-medium fit; platforms have norms, mechanics, and governance you must design for.Compete on legitimacy: Make your offer incomparable so you're chosen, not just compared.Hunt weak signals: Look for early indicators that, if true, unlock outsized advantage.Exploit asymmetry: Build plays rivals can't respond to without breaking their own model.Disrupt the value chain: Merge, split, reorder, or reassign steps (à la IKEA, Talk) to create a new reason to choose you.Ship zero-day GTM: Treat distribution like product—engineer referral, incentives, and narrative into the build.Stay ethical: Subversive ≠ sinister. Set rules like “don't assume consent” and “don't commit fraud.”If this conversation sparks ideas, check out Just Evil Enough, and explore more resources at justevilenough.com.

TECH CLUBBERS PODCAST W/ AUSPEX Having cut his teeth over the last decade coming up through Brooklyn's warehouse scene, NYC-based Auspex has solidified himself as a regular fixture and contributor to its underground techno community, a DJ, producer, label boss and tireless organizer very much at home in the city's vibrant queer nightlife scene. Having made regular appearances over the years at such legendary parties like The Bunker, Merge and Unter, he soon found himself at the helm of the transcendent party ALTÆR when Basement emerged onto the club-scape. Now six years running, ALTÆR has become known for its immersive and music-driven line-ups, pulling the together some of the world's best international techno and house talents. He's also made frequent appearances in Berlin at venues like RSO , Griessmuehle and most recently Berghain, as well as appearances at underground functions like Pornceptual, Gegen and STAUB. Most recently, he launched his own techno imprint Templum to showcase his production work and some of the hottest and most prolific producers of hypnotic and raw techno working in the industry today. With a healthy and robust release calendar already in the pipeline, Templum is poised to become a major source of dance floor fire power in the months and years ahead. Musically, Auspex conjures techno as a space of collective hypnosis—with sets that move with fluid precision and driving percussion through intergalactic expanses, leading dancers through spiraling grooves and sensory depth, shaping an experience that's equal parts body ritual and psychedelic voyage. As a classically-trained multi-instrumentalist and songwriter, his compositions are in infused with narrative tension and a rambunctious mischief, driving dance floors to bedlam and then back again.

In this edition of our Inside Track podcast, we tackled the big question: is there finally one true DJ library coming that works across all DJ software and hardware? With AlphaTheta's recent OneLibrary launch, we're getting closer, but there's still some way to go before the dream becomes reality.Next, we explored whether headphones and speakers are no longer enough on their own. With new digital correction devices, plugins, and circuitry emerging everywhere, simply plugging your gear straight in is starting to look a bit old-fashioned. But as a DJ or producer, do you really need all this correction tech to hear your music properly?Finally, we discussed whether DJing just got the streaming service to beat them all. With the apparent imminent merger of Beatport and Beatsource, serious DJs could have a fantastic new resource for streaming music that beats Spotify, Apple Music, and the rest hands down.As ever, this was a really fun discussion, made more so by our wonderful live student audience here at Digital DJ Tips, who joined us for the recording.

Macron, Merge, Starmer y también Sánchez son tan alabados fuera de las fronteras como vilipendiados dentro, por los mismos motivos. Por ser incapaces de sacar adelante los presupuestos, por criticar a los jueces o a la prensa o por coartar la libertad de expresión. Hoy vemos a los gobernantes como en una pantalla partida del televisor, a un lado sus logros internacionales y al otro sus fracasos nacionales.
The Centre is planning to merge smaller public sector banks with larger banks such as Punjab National Bank, Bank of Baroda, and SBI by FY27. Emirates NBD's India unit is likely to acquire a 51% stake in RBL Bank. Only about 20% of stocks are cheap today, and even that comes with legitimate concerns, as 50-60% of stocks trade in an overvalued zone, said Maran Govindasamy.
In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, host Stewart Alsop speaks with Paul Sztorc, CEO of Layer2 Labs, about Bitcoin's evolution, the limitations of the Lightning Network, and how his ideas for drivechains and merge-mined sidechains could transform scalability and privacy on the Bitcoin network. They cover everything from Zcash's zero-knowledge proofs and “moon math” to the block size wars, sound money, and the economic realities behind crypto hype cycles. Paul also explains his projects like Zside and Thunder, which aim to bring features like Zcash-style privacy and high-speed transactions to Bitcoin. Listeners can try Layer2 Labs' software or learn more at layer2labs.com/download.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Stewart Alsop opens with Paul Sztorc from Layer2 Labs, discussing the connection between Bitcoin and Zcash and how privacy could be added through zero-knowledge proofs.05:00 Paul critiques early Layer 2s like Rootstock and Lightning, calling many “not real” or custodial, and compares the current scene to the .com bubble.10:00 They explore media hype, Silicon Valley culture, and crypto's cycles of optimism and collapse, mentioning Theranos, FTX, and fake-it-till-you-make-it culture.15:00 Conversation shifts to sound money, government spending, and how Bitcoin could improve fiscal responsibility, referencing Milton Friedman's ideas.20:00 Paul questions Bitcoin treasury companies like MicroStrategy, explaining flawed incentives and better direct ownership logic.25:00 They move into geopolitics and The Sovereign Individual, discussing borders, state control, and the future of digital sovereignty.30:00 Paul explains zero-knowledge proofs, Zcash's “moon math,” and the evolution from sapling to Halo 2 for better privacy.35:00 The topic turns to drivechains, BIP300, and Layer2 Labs' projects like Zside and Thunder, built for real Bitcoin scalability.40:00 Paul explains why Lightning fails, liquidity limits, and why true scaling requires optional L2s with large block capacity.45:00 They discuss the block size war, merge mining, and how miners and nodes interact in Bitcoin's structure.50:00 Paul breaks down the Merkle tree, block headers, and SHA-256 puzzles miners race to solve for proof-of-work.55:00 The episode closes with how L1–L2 coordination works, the mechanics of slow withdrawals, and secondary markets in drivechains.Key InsightsBitcoin's privacy gap and Zcash's influence: Paul Sztorc begins by explaining how Bitcoin lacks true privacy since senders, receivers, and amounts are visible on-chain. He describes Zcash as a model for achieving anonymity through zero-knowledge proofs and explains how Layer2 Labs aims to bring that same level of privacy to Bitcoin without introducing a new altcoin or token.The failure of current Layer 2 solutions: Paul argues that existing Bitcoin Layer 2s like Lightning and Rootstock are flawed—either custodial, inefficient, or deceptive. He compares today's crypto landscape to the dot-com bubble, full of overhyped projects and scams that will collapse before the genuine solutions survive.Sound money and political accountability: The discussion expands beyond technology to economics, as Paul highlights how unsustainable government debt and spending distort incentives. He believes Bitcoin could restore discipline to fiscal systems by forcing real accounting and limiting the political capacity to inflate or borrow endlessly.Corporate Bitcoin strategies are often misguided: Paul criticizes companies like MicroStrategy for treating Bitcoin as a speculative treasury asset instead of using it for real utility. He argues that investors should just buy Bitcoin directly rather than buy shares in companies that hold it, since intermediaries introduce unnecessary risk, fees, and opacity.Drivechains as Bitcoin's missing scalability link: Sztorc presents drivechains, outlined in his proposal BIP300, as the practical way to scale Bitcoin. Drivechains allow multiple Layer 2s to exist simultaneously, each optimized for specific features like privacy, larger blocks, or smart contracts, all while using the same 21 million BTC.Lightning Network's structural limitations: Paul dismantles Lightning's core assumptions, pointing out that it cannot scale globally because each channel requires on-chain transactions and constant liquidity maintenance. He calls Lightning a “Theranos of Bitcoin,” arguing that it distracts the community from genuine, scalable innovation.Merge mining and the path to Bitcoin's future: The episode concludes with Paul describing merge mining as the mechanism that unites L1 and L2 securely, letting miners earn more revenue without extra work. He envisions a Bitcoin ecosystem where optional, diverse L2s provide privacy, speed, and flexibility—anchored by a lean, reliable L1 base.
Jeff sits down with Alex Kean, Director of Revenue Operations at Merge, to explore what it really takes to run RevOps across two go-to-market motions, enterprise sales and a new PLG product launch.Alex unpacks how his lean RevOps team supports Merge's sales-led engine while prepping for a parallel PLG motion, without breaking existing systems. He shares how his team is leveraging AI and agentic workflows for internal use, including customer health summaries and Slack-ready exec dashboards.

Jeff, Will, and Jeremy dive into everything from rate trends and leaseback deals to the latest wave of multifamily foreclosures sweeping Texas. They unpack why “lots of interest” doesn't always mean real demand, where rent growth is hitting a wall, and how institutional buyers are recalibrating in an 8-cap world. Plus, the guys riff on gas prices, S&P returns vs. owning the Cowboys, bank mergers, and college football chaos.It's part market check, part therapy session, and all Real Estater energy.

Today's Talkhouse Podcast features a pair of guys who've been making records for a long time and still manage to keep things not just interesting, but awesome: Mac McCaughan and Eric Johnson. Mac is the co-founder of legendary indie label Merge Records as well as the singer and guitarist for the band Superchunk, which has been making great, great records for about 35 years now, though they did take a bit of a break in the early aughts, which Mac mentions in this chat. Since reigniting around 2010, Superchunk has released five solid records that both reflect their maturity and bring the punk-rock energy. The latest just came out, and it's called Songs in the Key of Yikes. It's their first with new drummer Laura King, and you can catch Superchunk this weekend at Riot Fest in Chicago and then on a West Coast tour that starts October 9 at Pappy & Harriet's in the California desert. Check out “Is It Making You Feel Something” from Songs in the Key of Yikes right here. The other half of today's chat is Eric D. Johnson, who's both one-third of Bonny Light Horseman and the only constant member of Fruit Bats, the name under which he's been recording his smart, often gentle songs since around 2001. The newest Fruit Bats record, Baby Man, just came out on Merge, and it's an absolutely stripped-to-the-bone affair, with Johnson's voice even more front and center than usual. He lays it all out there and it's easy to get sucked in by his words and lovely melodies. He'll be touring all over in October, doing it “an evening with Fruit Bats” style. Check out “Let You People Down,” a song that comes up in this conversation, right here. In this easygoing chat, Eric and Mac talk about their long histories, from Eric's time in the Shins and I, Rowboat to Superchunk's not-that-fun stint opening for Teenage Fanclub. They also use some baseball analogies to talk about sequencing an album, and they commiserate about being dudes with unusually high singing voices. Enjoy.

In September 2025, I took the stage at Shoshanna Raven's Living Brave Live to share a story that has shaped every part of my life, my leadership, and the global movement I've built through SoulWork. This is a deeply personal talk about what it takes to rise as a woman who is devoted to both spiritual depth and business mastery, while creating a legacy of holy redistribution and meaningful impact in the world. The journey begins in the red-light districts of Kolkata, India, where I first encountered the raw edges of human suffering while working alongside survivors of human trafficking. That experience forever changed me. It sparked a defining moment in a cracked mirror, where I asked myself if I was willing to give up everything to be the one who took action — and made the decision to stop waiting for somebody somewhere to do something, and instead become that somebody myself. Out of that moment, SoulWork was born — an organization dedicated to training trauma-informed yoga teachers, leading global retreats, and supporting humanitarian projects around the world. Since its founding in 2015, SoulWork has: Certified thousands of teachers worldwide Built schools and classrooms in India, Guatemala, and Costa Rica Created programs that merge trauma-informed leadership with spiritual practice Crossed $3 million in lifetime revenue while staying rooted in purpose and integrity But my journey hasn't always been easy. Behind the scenes of sold-out retreats and visible success, I struggled with financial scarcity, debt, and the pressure of carrying a global mission. I share how I went from being overextended and exhausted — running 50 retreats a year — to completely restructuring my business into a sustainable, high-profit, low-maintenance model. This shift didn't just transform my business, it transformed my life. It gave me the space to: Renovate my grandfather's home in cash Build a stable financial foundation for my family Deepen my spiritual practice as a lineage carrier in the Himalayas Expand my humanitarian efforts in a way that is truly sustainable In this episode, I also introduce the archetype of the Philanthropic Femme — a rare kind of woman who embodies three essential pillars: Spiritual Depth – devotion to personal practice and a connection to something greater than herself Business Mastery – the strategy, systems, and leadership required to scale her vision Holy Redistribution – using wealth to fund movements, support marginalized communities, and create systemic change This talk is an invitation to every woman who feels the tension between her desire for inner fulfillment, her outer success, and her calling to make a difference. If you are ready to: Build a business that reflects your soul's purpose Step into financial sovereignty while staying deeply rooted in service Merge feminine leadership, conscious business practices, and philanthropy And become the woman who stops waiting and starts creating the change she longs to see …this episode will light a fire in your spirit. You'll leave with a new perspective on leadership, wealth, and impact — and the clarity to walk your own path as a Philanthropic Femme.

Software Engineering Radio - The Podcast for Professional Software Developers
In this episode, Will Wilson, CEO and co-founder of Antithesis, explores Deterministic Simulation Testing (DST) with host Sriram Panyam. Wilson was part of the pioneering team at FoundationDB that developed this revolutionary testing approach, which was later acquired by Apple in 2015. After seeing that even sophisticated organizations lacked robust testing for distributed systems, Wilson co-founded Antithesis in 2018 to make DST commercially available. Deterministic simulation testing runs software in a fully controlled, simulated environment in which all sources of non-determinism are eliminated or controlled. Unlike traditional testing or chaos engineering, DST operates in a separate environment from production, allowing for aggressive fault injection without risk to live systems. The key breakthrough is perfect reproducibility -- any bug found can be recreated exactly using the same random seed. Antithesis built "The Determinator," a custom deterministic hypervisor that simulates entire software stacks including virtual hardware, networking, and time. The system can compress years of stress testing into shorter timeframes by running simulations faster than wall-clock time. All external interfaces that could introduce non-determinism (network calls, disk I/O, system time) are mocked or controlled by the simulator. The approach has proven effective with major organizations including MongoDB, Palantir, and Ethereum. For Ethereum's critical "Merge" upgrade in 2022, Antithesis found and helped fix several serious bugs that could have been catastrophic for the live network. The platform typically finds bugs that traditional testing methods miss entirely -- such as those arising from rare race conditions, complex timing issues, and unexpected system interactions.
