Podcast appearances and mentions of meta ai

My guest on this episode of the podcast is Simon Whitcombe, the Vice President, Global Business Group at Meta. We discuss Meta's Business AI and the Meta AI business assistant, both of which were announced ahead of this year's AdWeek. I unpacked the potential of these tools to help advertisers cross the "ad-product divide" in Can Meta cross the ad-product divide?; in this episode, Simon and I deliberate on the non-advertising opportunity with platform AI tools like these.Among other things, we cover:How Meta is bringing AI to bear for its advertising clients in non-advertising use cases;Other potential ways that Meta's AI tools can be used for optimizing advertisers' products or understanding of advertising performance;Meta's recent whitepaper on GEM, and whether Meta's attitude toward transparency with these types of systems has changed over time (especially in light of recent speculation about its Q3 update to Andromeda);How advertisers are using creative generation tools to expand creative diversity (versus merely increasing output volume);The tenor of feedback that Meta is getting from advertisers about Meta's AI business tools, and whether that feedback differs by company size, company category, geographic region, etc.;How the digital advertising landscape has evolved since COVID.Thanks to the sponsors of this week's episode of the Mobile Dev Memo podcast:⁠Xsolla⁠.

Sure, we've reviewed the fastest World Tour aero road bikes and the newest gravel machines, but what about an off-road capable folding bike? Variety is the spice of life, and Velo tech editor Alvin Holbrook has been getting spicy on Brompton's G Line, a bike that should be more capable than any of the legendary UK brand's previous offerings, thanks to larger wheels and much better tires and brakes. Alvin rode the G Line on his usual gravel test loop and reports back on how it performed and what type of rider it makes the most sense for. Would you wear AI on your face? Josh Ross has been in the shape of Oakley's new – and very expensive – Vanguard glasses that come with a video camera, mic and headphones, and a connection to artificial intelligence that's ready to answer *almost* any question you might have. Josh answers our questions, without any AI help, about what the Vanguards are like to live with, why they might have the best mic and headphones for cycling, and explains how they can actually cost less than buying separate glasses, headphones, and a camera. Levy has that new bike fizz after buying an Allied Able and shares some of his early ride impressions, as well as how it compares to his much-loved Santa Cruz Stigmata that he's lived on for the previous two years. Is it love at first ride, or might there be some regrets? Further reading Q36.5's New Cold-Weather Jackets Fit Like A … Condom?

OpenAI zet een nieuwe stap richting sociale chatplatforms: ChatGPT krijgt groepschats waarin de AI als volwaardig groepslid meepraat, opdrachten uitvoert en gesprekken structureert. De functie wordt nu getest in Japan, Nieuw-Zeeland, Zuid-Korea en Taiwan, maar de vraag is of en wanneer Nederland volgt—waar AI in chatapps nog nauwelijks is omarmd. Tegelijk wordt ChatGPT 5.1 uitgerold, met natuurlijker conversaties en minder “robotachtig” taalgebruik. Met de introductie van groepschats positioneert OpenAI ChatGPT niet langer uitsluitend als digitale assistent, maar als actief onderdeel van een gesprek tussen maximaal twintig gebruikers. Het systeem werkt vergelijkbaar met WhatsApp-groepen: deelnemers hebben eigen gebruikersnamen, maar ChatGPT reageert ook autonoom op opdrachten of discussies. Daarmee schuift de technologie richting een social-media-achtig model, in een markt waar Meta al fors inzet op AI-integraties in WhatsApp en Instagram. De functie wordt gekoppeld aan de nieuwe ChatGPT-versie 5.1, die menselijker klinkt en beter inspeelt op langere, wisselende gesprekken. In Nederland stonden veel gebruikers sceptisch tegenover Meta AI in hun chatapps. Wanneer de functie voor Nederlandse gebruikers wordt uitgerold is niet bekend. Verder in deze Tech Update: Ubisoft heeft op het laatste moment de publicatie van zijn omzetcijfers uitgesteld en de handel in aandelen ligt stil. Het bedrijf zegt binnen enkele dagen met nieuwe informatie te komen, wat de geruchten over een mogelijke overname door partijen als Tencent, Microsoft of EA nieuw gewicht geeft. Google-eigenaar Alphabet probeert een gedwongen afsplitsing van de advertentietak te voorkomen met een nieuw voorstel aan de Europese Commissie. Het bedrijf belooft meer controle voor adverteerders en betere interoperabiliteit met andere advertentietools; de Commissie beoordeelt het plan nog.

Have AI companies lost control of their bots — or are the bots designed to harm?In this episode, Sarah Gardner and Nicki Petrossi dive deep into the disturbing rise of AI chatbots gone rogue — and the tragic human cost. From teens who formed emotional bonds with bots that later encouraged suicide, to lawsuits against OpenAI, Character.AI, and others, we expose how Big Tech's newest frontier of “AI companions” is already devastating families.You'll hear how chatbots like Character.AI, ChatGPT, Meta AI, and Snap's MyAI blurred the lines between fiction and reality, leading kids to isolation, self-harm, and even death. Former tech insiders, grieving parents, and attorneys share evidence that these bots aren't just broken — they're built this way.We ask the urgent questions:

Today on the AI Daily Brief, NLW covers two stories that may signal a major shift in the AI landscape: Yann LeCun's departure from Meta and Dr. Fei-Fei Li's new argument that spatial intelligence and world models—not just LLMs—will define the next era of AI, exploring what world models actually are, why some researchers think they're essential for robotics, science, and creativity, and how this connects to Meta's internal reorg. Plus in the headlines: Eleven Labs' celebrity voice marketplace, SoftBank's Nvidia liquidation, AMD's push to challenge Nvidia, Blue Owl's $3B Stargate investment, and the surprising surge in Meta AI traffic.Brought to you by:KPMG – Discover how AI is transforming possibility into reality.

Le patron du laboratoire français Kyutai détaille les avancées spectaculaires de ses IA vocales open source : interaction fluide, traduction en temps réel et synthèse vocale à la volée.Interview : Patrick Pérez, directeur général de KyutaiUn laboratoire à but non lucratif pour une IA ouverteKyutai est un centre de recherche sur l'intelligence artificielle à but non lucratif, fondé en 2023 grâce au mécénat de Xavier Niel, Rodolphe Saadé et Eric Schmidt, ancien CEO de Google.L'objectif : faire progresser la recherche fondamentale sur les grands modèles d'IA et partager les résultats en open source, du code aux modèles, pour stimuler l'écosystème scientifique mondial.Patrick Pérez, son directeur, le souligne : « nous ne faisons pas de produit, mais de la science ».Moshi : la première IA vocale vraiment naturelleLe premier projet emblématique de Kyutai, Moshi, est une IA conversationnelle sans tour de parole imposé. Elle comprend et répond en temps réel, peut couper la parole à bon escient et saisit les nuances émotionnelles de la voix.Une innovation majeure : Moshi ne passe pas par une transcription textuelle, préservant ainsi le timbre, l'émotion et les intonations. Open-sourcé en 2024, le modèle a déjà été téléchargé plusieurs millions de fois et inspire de nouveaux projets comme Sésame, qui réutilise certaines de ses briques.Ibiki : la traduction simultanée façon interprèteDévoilé au Sommet mondial de l'IA au Grand Palais en 2025, Ibiki traduit une conversation en simultané, tout en préservant la voix originale de l'orateur.Ce modèle, capable de fonctionner sur un smartphone, représente une avancée majeure face aux systèmes propriétaires comme Meta AI ou OpenAI.Encore au stade de prototype, Ibiki démontre la maturité de la recherche française en matière d'IA vocale temps réel et de traduction instantanée expressive.Unmute : la synthèse vocale à la voléeAvec Unmute, Kyutai repousse encore les limites : la synthèse vocale s'effectue en même temps que le texte est généré par un modèle de langage (LLM).Ce procédé permet une réponse instantanée et naturelle, sans latence perceptible. Ces avancées ouvrent la voie à de nouvelles expériences immersives — assistants vocaux, médias parlants ou interfaces interactives.C'est aussi l'un des chantiers clés de l'IA « multimodale », qui marie texte, son et vision dans un même flux de communication.Le futur : multimodalité et accessibilitéKyutai poursuit ses recherches sur la multimodalité, visant à créer des IA capables d'interpréter voix, texte, images et vidéos en temps réel.Certaines de ces briques sont déjà utilisées par le média La Provence pour convertir ses articles en audio expressif.Une application concrète de la mission de Kyutai : rendre la recherche ouverte, utile et inclusive, tout en démontrant que l'innovation européenne peut rivaliser avec les géants américains.-----------♥️ Soutienhttps://donorbox.org/monde-numerique

Do you really control your ads anymore or just think you do? The more Meta's AI promises to optimize your performance, the more it quietly reshapes your creative and brand. Today, Lauren and I break down the hidden trade-offs behind Meta's Advantage+ Creative Image Generator and why letting AI “help” your campaigns might not mean what you think. Lauren shares her recent webinar launch results using Meta's new creative tools and what happened when AI started taking creative liberties with her brand visuals and placements. From off-brand images to format mismatches, we unpack how AI-driven automation can drive conversions while quietly eroding creative control. In this episode:- Pros and cons of Advantage+ creative image generator- The illusion of control in Meta AI's performance- Why future ad networks may remove control completely- The $30 lead that actually converted better- Quality vs. quantity in lead generation- How creative still drives targeting in AndromedaResources Mentioned In The Episode:Previous Episode on Advantage+ Creative Image Generator: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXRkwLlTb0I Tier 11 Data Suite – https://www.tiereleven.com/what-we-do/data-suite Creative Diversification Playbook, Practitioners' Guide From Meta: https://perpetualtraffic.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Creative-Diversification-Playbook-Practitioner-Guidance.pdf Apply to Work With Tier 11: https://www.tiereleven.com/apply-now Watch the Episode on YouTube: perpetualtraffic.com/youtube Listen to this episode on your favorite podcast channel:Follow and listen on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/perpetual-traffic/id1022441491 Follow and listen on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/59lhtIWHw1XXsRmT5HBAuK Subscribe and watch on YouTube: perpetualtraffic.com/youtube We appreciate your support!Visit our website: https://perpetualtraffic.com/ Follow us on X: https://x.com/perpetualtraf Connect with Ralph Burns: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ralphburns Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ralphhburns/ Hire Tier11 -

Chat GPT, Gemini, Meta AI, and Grok. In episode 145 of Overthink, David and Ellie talk about AI chatbots. Are relationships between humans and AI valuable? Or should we shame people for using LLMs? And what are we doing when we use these technologies: expanding or outsourcing our cognition? They explore the dangers of using chatbots as romantic partners and therapists, considering how the how the principle of ‘Yes, And…' at the core of LLMs can lead to delusion and even what's now called “AI psychosis.” They discuss the fatigue surrounding the predominance of AI in our everyday lives and the negative environmental effects of it. In the bonus, your hosts dive deeper into the history of AI, its benefits and drawbacks, and the relationship between AI and embodiment.Works Discussed:Andrea Klonschinski and Michael Kühler, “Romantic Love Between Humans and AIs: A Feminist Ethical Critique”Gavin Mueller, Breaking Things at Work: The Luddites Are Right About Why You Hate Your JobMatteo Pasquinelli, The Eye of the Master: A Social History of Artificial IntelligenceMichael Wooldridge, A Brief History of Artificial Intelligence: What It Is, Where We Are, and Where We Are GoingN+1 Editors, “Large Language Muddle”Enjoy our work?

Episode 193: Depeche Mode: Home Video Concert Releases (Part 1) With our attention turned to tomorrow's premiere of Depeche Mode's latest cinematic offering "M", we thought it would be fun to make our way through all of the previously released home video concert offerings from our favorite lads from Basildon.  This first installment covers two releases, which we still have on VHS (remember that your VCR was king back in 1985 and even 1993): "The World We Live in and Live in Hamburg" and "Devotional."   These two films carry with them the label of "classic" in our household, so it was a real treat to revisit them, armed with a set of ten hard-hitting questions to cover various aspects of each.  We'll discuss such diverse topics as "Most interesting deviation from the studio version", "Do we enjoy the way this was filmed & edited?", "Favorite Fletch Move", and more!   So, as Meta AI is prompting me to say: "Relive the music, relive the moment. Join us on a trip through Depeche Mode's live legacy."

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, we are joined by Kenneth Pararo, known on trail as Moron. This is a podcast we've been wanting to make happen for several years now, and let me tell you, it does not disappoint. Moron is a thru-hiker, long-distance cyclist, philosopher, hopeless romantic, futurist, and most importantly, just a real solid hang.  We learn about why he's all in on AI- as evidenced by him riding cross country rocking his Meta AI glasses, why he quit is corporate tech job to more permanently pursue adventure and experience, how he completed one AT thru-hike and quit another a couple hundred miles from the finish, turning it into an extended road walk to the Canadian border, only to turn around for some more road walking and eventually an extended bike ride, and how he plans his adventuring essentially one day at a time, letting fate largely guide his next move. We wrap the show with tips for safe and steamy tent sex, a contentious debate about using gas station bathrooms exclusively for a year for one million dollars, and the triple crown of people we just don't understand.

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.In the past few days Justin Bieber has made headlines for both his public appearances and his expanding digital presence. According to Beliebers Squad on YouTube Justin surprised fans with his first livestream event on October 22 2025 where he played ping pong, shot some hoops, landed trick shots, and skateboarded all while directly engaging with his followers. The energy was playful and he even took a photo for his Instagram Story during the stream to let fans in on the excitement. Then on October 24 Bieber capped off Day 3 of another live stream by telling fans I Love You, a gesture that quickly fueled positive ripples across social media platforms.Justin's presence in the streaming community took an even more personal turn when his son Jack Blues affectionately called him Dadda during a Twitch stream. As reported by PopRant and seen across Twitter Instagram and TikTok this unscripted father-son banter went viral, with fans celebrating the authentic family moment and reposting clips, memes, and commentary. Many labeled the exchange iconic and it has cemented Justin's growing role as not just a pop star but a major force in online fan interaction.Businesswise his reach continues to be staggering. In April NetEase Cloud Music named Bieber the top-streamed Western artist in the platform's history with over 11.9 billion streams, highlighting the international magnitude of his fanbase. Back in July he dropped his seventh studio album Swag which debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 and produced the hit single Daisies. In September he released Swag II which has been hailed as a major follow-up. His 2025 collaboration with Diddy, according to Meta AI, has been drawing attention for its blend of Bieber's trademark energy with Diddy's veteran influence, further solidifying Bieber's continuous reinvention in the industry.Forbes estimates his net worth at 300 million dollars and highlights earnings from music endorsements and business ventures, including significant real-estate investments and charitable contributions. Socially he remains omnipresent, with recent live moments trending on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, and Reddit, where fans rave about his evolving persona as an artist and a family man.No controversies or negative press have been reported by major outlets in this period. Headlines in industry trades and fan media remain focused on Bieber's career resurgence, heartwarming family moments, chart accomplishments, and his seamless move into the livestreaming and gaming world.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has been making major headlines this week by launching a daily Twitch streaming series from a massive studio space filled with games, musical instruments, and yes—a mini skate ramp and basketball court. According to Billboard via KS95, Bieber excitedly told viewers he's planning to stream on Twitch nearly every day, treating fans to candid moments of hangouts, sports, music rehearsals, and even playful time with his toddler son, Jack Blues Bieber. One particularly buzzworthy moment from these streams came when Jack Blues, appearing onscreen, melted hearts by calling Justin “Dadda,” a clip fans quickly made viral, as reported by PopRant. Bieber's Twitch channel has become a new interactive HQ for Beliebers, and he's teased that the session doubles as prep for a major upcoming performance at Coachella, speculating that he's gearing up to “put on a hell of a show,” though details beyond that comment remain unconfirmed.Social media has been ablaze with footage and recaps: YouTube hosts highlight reels capturing Justin's playful athletic side, from ping pong trick shots to shirtless skateboarding, and a charming signoff where he told fans, “I love you,” further cementing his brand as an artist unafraid to show both swagger and softness. While some Beliebers continue to speculate about new music collaborations after his highly publicized 2025 partnership with Diddy, which blended their generational talents to chart-topping effect according to Meta AI, so far there have been no new releases this week—only rehearsals and hints.There's also been a persistent business buzz around Justin's continuing reign as one of the most lucrative names in pop. AOL's finance desk ranks his annual earnings at about 80 million dollars, with a net worth of 300 million. This week, Bieber's name trended again after NetEase Cloud honored him as the most-streamed Western artist in their twelve-year history and since his album “Swag” and its follow-up “Swag II” continue to perform strongly on international charts. His Twitch project is a public move into a more personal, interactive brand and could mark a long-term shift in how global pop stars connect with fans—offering daily glimpses of celebrity and authenticity. If speculation about a signature Coachella show holds true, this year could be a defining period in Bieber's career and public profile.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

In this episode of Bourbon Lens, Jake and Scott turn the spotlight on the craft and independent distilleries making waves across the Bourbon and American Whiskey landscape. From Kentucky to Nevada, Colorado to New York, they highlight more than dozen distilleries to watch in 2025 and beyond — brands that are redefining what it means to craft whiskey in America today. The discussion also takes a closer look at the tightening bourbon market, the economic and production challenges that small distilleries face, and how whiskey fans can make a real impact by supporting independent producers. Whether you're a collector, a craft whiskey explorer, or simply someone who loves discovering new bottles, this episode offers valuable insights into the next generation of distillers driving creativity, innovation, and authenticity in American whiskey. Jake and Scott also invite listeners to share their own recommendations: Which craft distilleries should we keep an eye on in 2026?

This episode asks: how do we stay human inside each of the social media platforms?I trace the ways some of the platforms undermine my values: from Meta and its documented harms, to TikTok's dopamine machine, to Substack's conflicted role in the attention economy. I bring in Shoshana Zuboff's theory of surveillance capitalism, the story of Cambridge Analytica, teen suicides linked to Instagram, and a chilling case of a man's fatal entanglement with a Meta AI.This is an episode about radical ethics. It's about what we consent to, what we refuse, and how we choose to connect in ways that don't hollow us out. Mostly it's about responsibility. I walk through my decisions platform by platform, and why podcasting has become my chosen container.What you will hearWhat “surveillance capitalism” means, and why it threatens democracyThe blurred line between influence, manipulation, and consent onlineMeta's record: Cambridge Analytica, teen mental health, and AI experiments gone wrongWhy TikTok and reels destroy our dopamine balanceWhy Substack works for me—and where it fails on anti-censorshipThe lure and limits of LinkedIn, BlueSky, and YouTubeWhy podcasting is my chosen space: no ads, no algo, no intrusionWeb3: I forgot to mention this in the podcast!

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1162: Tesla posts a surprise Q3 sales record, $1,000 car payments are becoming the new normal, Meta plans to use AI chats to make ad targeting more personal than ever.Show Notes with links:Tesla delivered a surprise Q3 record after a rocky first half of the year, beating Wall Street expectations with nearly half a million EVs sold. But with the federal EV tax credit now gone, the question is whether momentum can carry into Q4 and beyond.Tesla delivered 497,099 vehicles, topping estimates of 456,000 and reversing two quarters of declines.Model 3 and Y deliveries rose 9%, while other models dropped 30%.Tesla's energy business hit a record, nearly doubling storage deployments to 12.5 GWh.Rivian also posted a 32% bump, delivering 13,201 EVs in Q3.What used to be unthinkable is now routine: the $1,000-a-month car payment. Nearly one in six new-car buyers are signing up for four-figure notes, a trend driven by rising prices, interest rates, and longer terms — reshaping affordability conversations across the showroom floor.In 2015, only 2.4% of buyers paid $1,000+; that number hit 16.6% in JulySUVs (53%) and pickups (37%) dominate these deals; 5% of all $1,000+ buyers drove off in an F-150.Buyers today face average loans near $42K at 6.8% interest, compared to $28K at 3.9% a decade ago.Longer terms now stretch over 68 months on average, nearly a year longer than 2015.“There are some that are very shocked by the payment,” said Cody Anderson, GSM at Freedom Ford. “Their payment thought process is five years ago compared to now.”Meta is about to supercharge its ad business by tapping into conversations people have with its AI chatbot. Starting December 16, chats with Meta AI will help determine not just what ads users see, but what content fills their feeds across Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.Meta AI chats will feed new ad-targeting signals, similar to posts, likes, and connections.Example: Talk about hiking → expect more hiking ads and related content.The company stresses sensitive topics (politics, religion, health, etc.) won't be used for targeting.Meta earned $46.5B in ad revenue last quarter, up 21% YoY.“Interactions with AIs will be another signal we use to improve people's experience,” Meta said.0:00 Intro with Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier1:35 The huge news out of More Than Cars2:48 Tesla Sets Delivery Record5:35 Nearly 17% of Car Payments are $10008:45 Meta Will Use AI Searches To Target Ads To UsersJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Paul Travers, founder and CEO of Vuzix Corporation, returns to join hosts Charlie Fink, Ted Schilowitz, and Rony Abovitz for a masterclass in enterprise XR resilience and the long game of hardware innovation. As the architect behind the world's first consumer VR headset (the VFX1 in 1992), Travers has survived every boom and bust cycle in wearable technology for over three decades. Now publicly traded with 80,000 shareholders, Vuzix represents what Rony calls "the GameStop of XR"—a dramatically undervalued company ($200M market cap) that could become the consolidation hub for smaller XR startups while taking on tech giants with superior enterprise focus and manufacturing capabilities.The episode opens with the hosts' unfiltered critique of Meta's recent Connect announcements, where Rony argues that despite $100+ billion invested in Reality Labs, Meta's Ray-Ban display glasses represent minimal advancement over the original Google Glass—a "disappointing" return that small startups with minimal funding are already surpassing. This sets the stage for deeper discussions about Neon, the controversial app paying users $800/month to record conversations for AI training (which Rony compares to Neal Stephenson's "gargoyles" from Snow Crash), and Meta AI's new "Vibes" feed that separates AI-generated content from real-world posts to address deepfake concerns.Guest HighlightsTravers pulls back the curtain on three decades of XR survival:The "Lindy Effect" advantage—how Vuzix's longevity through multiple extinction events creates predictive value for continued success, like "alligators surviving when everything else didn't make it"Enterprise-first strategy—why focusing on warehouse workers, Amazon distribution centers, and pharmaceutical operations (1,000+ systems deployed at Nadro) creates sustainable revenue streams versus consumer fashion battlesManufacturing at scale—Vuzix's Rochester facility produces 1.5 million waveguides annually at 90%+ yield rates, enabling 10,000-unit weekly deliveries and potential silicon carbide waveguide production (the same exotic technology Meta claims costs $10,000 per pair in their Orion prototypes)AI-agnostic platform approach—unlike Meta's closed ecosystem, Vuzix allows BMW, Amazon, and other enterprise clients to run their own AI models locally through NVIDIA Blueprint technology for IP protectionThe "GameStop potential"—with smart money recognizing XR's AI-enabled inflection point, Travers envisions Vuzix becoming the acquisition vehicle for consolidating smaller XR companies, potentially reaching the $20+ billion valuation that experience and manufacturing capability warrantNews Segment HighlightsMeta Connect critique reveals $100+ billion Reality Labs investment yielded minimal advancement over original Google Glass—disappointing monocular displays that startups with minimal funding already surpassNeon app controversy pays users $800/month to record conversations for AI training, creating "voice gargoyles" that transform people into data input mechanismMeta AI launches "Vibes" newsfeed separating AI-generated content from real-world posts to address deepfake and authenticity concerns across social platformsChatGPT privacy settings reminder that users can disable data sharing through hidden personalization and security menus to avoid training their AI replacementsThank you to our sponsors, Zappar and Viture!

In this episode of Bourbon Lens, Jake and Scott tackle a hot topic in the bourbon world: does great bourbon have to be high proof? While barrel-strength and cask-strength whiskeys continue to dominate the conversation, the guys make the case for exploring the sub-100 proof range (80–99 proof) as well. They share standout examples of bourbons and whiskeys in this proof category, explain why there's a time and place for every proof point, and discuss how “palate fatigue” from ultra-high-proof releases has shaped their appreciation for more balanced pours. Whether you're new to bourbon or a seasoned enthusiast, this episode offers a fresh perspective on enjoying whiskey at all proof levels. Jake and Scott also want to hear from listeners: What are your favorite sub-100 proof bourbons or whiskeys? Share your picks and join the conversation!

Comedian Jo Koy crashes The Rizzuto Show, and within five minutes we're knee-deep in bunion talk. That's right—bunions. From questionable home surgeries to Jo's expert-level gross-out stories, it's everything you didn't know you needed on a Friday morning. Meanwhile, Rizz is still hung up on football picks, Moon is busy oversharing about family fantasy leagues, Rafe won't shut up about Buc-ee's banana pudding, Lern manages to forget the one thing that matters, and King Scott… well, he's just trying to survive the chaos. It's jokes, jabs, way too much foot talk, and the kind of unhinged comedy that makes you question your life choices (but in a good way).
