À première vue, on se demande ce qui pourrait bien freiner OpenAI. L'entreprise à l'origine de ChatGPT enchaîne les partenariats prestigieux avec les géants de la tech et séduit désormais bien au-delà de la Silicon Valley. Dernier exemple en date : Disney, qui vient de signer un accord stratégique avec OpenAI. Un partenariat qui permettra à l'outil vidéo Sora d'utiliser des personnages iconiques de la marque, de Mickey Mouse à tout l'univers Disney. Dans la foulée, le groupe américain s'est engagé à investir un milliard de dollars dans le capital d'OpenAI.Une somme impressionnante… mais qui paraît presque dérisoire au regard des finances de l'entreprise dirigée par Sam Altman. Car OpenAI dépense énormément, et même de plus en plus vite. La course à l'intelligence artificielle est devenue un champ de bataille industriel où chaque avancée technologique se paie au prix fort, en puissance de calcul, en infrastructures et en talents. Selon plusieurs estimations relayées par le média Mashable, ce milliard de dollars fraîchement injecté ne suffirait à couvrir que trois à quatre semaines des pertes actuelles d'OpenAI. Une donnée vertigineuse, qui prend encore plus de relief lorsqu'on la compare aux engagements globaux de l'entreprise : cette somme représenterait à peine un millième des dépenses prévues à moyen terme.Autrement dit, OpenAI brûle du cash à un rythme rarement vu dans l'histoire récente de la tech. Au point que certains analystes commencent à évoquer, à voix basse, un scénario longtemps jugé impensable : celui d'une fragilité financière, voire d'une faillite à long terme si le modèle économique ne se stabilise pas. Cette inquiétude intervient dans un contexte moins favorable qu'il n'y paraît. Ces derniers mois, un décrochage technologique a été observé entre ChatGPT et son principal concurrent, Gemini, développé par Google. Avec Gemini 3, le géant californien a repris une position de leader, laissant planer le doute sur la capacité d'OpenAI à conserver son avance initiale. L'histoire de la tech est riche de précédents. Être pionnier ne garantit pas le succès durable. Les plus anciens se souviennent de Netscape, premier navigateur web grand public, rapidement marginalisé par Internet Explorer à la fin des années 1990. Un rappel brutal que, dans ce secteur, l'innovation coûte cher… et que la domination n'est jamais acquise. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Send us a textKatie and Bridget rent a room in a shoe as they re-watch their family's (for some reason) nostalgic Christmas movie: March of the Wooden Soldiers! If you haven't taken an edible already - BUCKLE UP! Come along as we go to Toy Land and meet all of the classic Nursey Rhyme characters. There's Mother Goose and her literal live goose wearing a bow; Little Bo Peep, who everyone in town wants to make their child bride; Tom Tom, who's apparently NOT Peter Pan and is instead the Pied Piper(!?); The Three Little Pigs who WILL give you nightmares; and the rest of the nightmare infused characters! But most importantly we have Stannie Dum and Ollie Dee, the two best friends that anybody could have who help save the day! We've got a demonic knock-off Mickey Mouse, funny physical comedy, and endless questions all wrapped up into this strange movie that we all simultaneously forgot existed until we put it on to watch! Released in 1934, it was originally titled "Babes in Toyland" and stars Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy.

Pudgy Penguins didn't just survive crypto's worst bear market, they turned memes into a global consumer brand.In this episode, Nic Cary sits down with Luca Netz, CEO of Pudgy Penguins, to unpack how a community-led NFT project became one of the most culturally relevant IPs in crypto. From buying Pudgy Penguins out of a community riot, to landing in 3,000 Walmart stores, launching a token to unlock mass participation, and positioning Pengu as the internet's Mickey Mouse, Luca breaks down the playbook behind one of crypto's biggest brand success stories.This conversation dives into culture, consumer adoption, meme coins with real operators, and why Luca believes Pudgy Penguins will be one of the most important IPs to ever come out of crypto.

Welcome To The Real Oshow,0:00 Intro1:15 Who Created The Heisman Trophy?2:10 2026 Movie Releases4:04 Disney's $1 Billion Deal With Sora17:35 Why the Ellisons Now Control Entertainment18:40 Closing Thoughts In this episode, we break down one of the most important media deals in years — Disney's $1 billion partnership with OpenAI's Sora, and why it signals a complete reset of how Hollywood will create, protect, and control stories in the AI era.Disney didn't just sign this deal to experiment with new technology. This is about cutting production costs, protecting its most valuable IP, and staying ahead of a future where fans can generate studio-quality content on their own. From Pixar and Marvel to Star Wars and ESPN, we dive into how Sora could fundamentally reshape Disney's creative pipeline — and why Disney wants a seat at the table before AI-generated Mickey Mouse content floods the internet.But the Disney story is only part of a much bigger shift happening in entertainment.By the end of the episode, we zoom out and explain how David Ellison and Larry Ellison have quietly become two of the most powerful figures in Hollywood. Between AI infrastructure, cloud dominance, studio ownership, and media consolidation, the Ellison family now sits at the intersection of technology, content, and distribution — a position that traditionally belonged to legacy studios alone. Hollywood power is no longer just about directors and actors — it's about who controls the tech behind the stories.Earlier in the podcast, we also hit two important side stories shaping the moment: • A quick but fascinating breakdown of John Heisman, the man whose impact on football was so massive they named the sport's most iconic trophy after him. • A look ahead at 2026's upcoming movie slate, and why it represents a true post-pandemic reset for the film industry — with studios finally ready to take big swings again after years of cautious releases.Enjoy The Show, Check out our YouTube page - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoqz3s_B_VYHuQtuVIDxpiQTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@therealoshow?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pcTweet @zacharyowings2 with your thoughts about the podcast or suggestions for future shows.Music by Leno Tk - Greatness (Streaming on all platforms)

De nerdmeter staat weer vol in deze nieuwe aflevering van Nerd Culture. We trappen af met wat we allemaal hebben gekeken, gelezen en geluisterd, waaronder IT: Welcome to Derry, Mr. Mercedes en zelfs Troll 2. Daarna schakelen we moeiteloos door naar het grote nieuws: verse trailers voor Supergirl, Hijack en The Boys, stevige Marvel-geruchten rond Avengers: Doomsday en de vraag of AI inmiddels trailers en beelden begint te domineren.Ook bespreken we Disney's opvallende deal met OpenAI, de toekomst van Warner Bros., en waarom 28 Years Later maar blijft doorgaan. Kortom: van Stephen King tot superhelden en van Hollywood-politiek tot pure nerdhype.Avengers Doomsday is een showdown tussen Doom en CapDe geruchten rond Avengers: Doomsday nemen een verrassende wending. Waar veel fans rekenden op een frontale botsing tussen Reed Richards en Victor Von Doom, lijkt Marvel een andere, veel persoonlijkere route te kiezen. Volgens meerdere insiders draait de kern van de film om een conflict tussen Doctor Doom en Steve Rogers. Doom zou Captain America verantwoordelijk houden voor een multiverse-incursion, veroorzaakt door zijn beslissing om na Endgame in het verleden te blijven bij Peggy Carter. Daarmee verschuift de focus van een klassieke intellectuele rivaliteit naar een morele en emotionele confrontatie, met grote gevolgen voor het MCU. Wij bespreken wat dit betekent voor Doom, voor Cap én voor de richting van de Multiverse Saga richting Secret Wars.Disney sluit deal met OpenAIOok Disney zet een grote stap richting een AI-gedreven toekomst. The Walt Disney Company heeft een meerjarige deal gesloten met OpenAI en wordt daarmee de eerste grote contentpartner van Sora, OpenAI's generatieve AI-videoplatform. Fans kunnen straks met simpele prompts korte video's en beelden maken met officieel gelicenseerde Disney-, Marvel-, Pixar- en Star Wars-personages, van Mickey Mouse tot Darth Vader. Opvallend: Disney investeert tegelijk 1 miljard dollar in OpenAI, maar benadrukt dat zijn IP níét wordt gebruikt om AI-modellen te trainen en dat geen stemmen of gelijkenissen van acteurs zijn inbegrepen. Wij bespreken wat dit betekent voor creativiteit, auteursrecht en de machtspositie van Disney in een tijd waarin Hollywood steeds nerveuzer wordt van AI.Blockbuster Helden: De Adelaars van RomeEens waren ze vrienden en wapenbroeders in het Romeinse leger, de Romein Marcus en de Germaan Arminius. Maar het verraad van Arminius, waardoor drie Romeinse legioenen werden uitgeroeid, dreef een wig tussen hun vriendschap. Ze staan nu tegenover elkaar als aartsvijanden. Arminius heeft de zoon van Marcus ontvoerd en als zijn eigen zoon geadopteerd, zijn hoogzwangere vrouw Thusnelda werd door de Romeinen gevangengenomen. Haar leven is in gevaar en alleen Marcus kan haar redden.Hoewel Enrico Marini met een grote historische accuraatheid en een fenomenale stijl de wereld van De Adelaars van Rome vorm geeft, is zelfs dat niet de grote kracht van de serie. Het is vooral een serie vol emoties, zoals hij zelf zegt: ‘Iedereen kan zich identificeren met familieproblemen. Het zijn emotionele conflicten die elke lezer kan begrijpen. Het verhaal komt dan veel dichterbij. Als het emotionele aspect van een familie of vriendschap ontbreekt, wordt het verhaal minder interessant. Emotie is de kern van elk goed verhaal.'Timestamps:00:00:00 Nerd Culture #23700:01:13 Wat hebben we gekeken?00:01:20 IT: Welcome to Derry00:04:12 Mr. Mercedes00:07:05 Troll 200:12:34 Special Forces00:19:42 Blockbuster Helden00:25:12 Supergirl Trailer00:27:40 The Rock & Brendan Fraser00:31:25 Paramount vs Warner Bros00:36:00 Disney x OpenAI (Sora)00:40:12 Hijack Season 2 Trailer00:43:45 Sakamoto Days (Live-Action)00:45:48 Street Fighter Trailer00:46:08 28 Years Later00:49:31 Thor in Avengers: Doomsday?00:51:48 Sebastian Stan over Doomsday00:56:43 Doom vs Captain America01:04:00 Sigourney Weaver & Alien01:07:00 The Boys – Final Season

Send us a textDo you remember that Disney Christmas Carol with Mickey Mouse? It will ALWAYS be right there in my memory. Ok, from that movie, now comb through and remember the Ghost of Christmas Present. The big, dopey giant eating turkey legs and drinking out of goblets? Yes. HIM. That is where my mind goes when I think of the traditional Reveillon feasts here in New Orleans. What is a Reveillon feast, you may ask? "A Réveillon dinner is a traditional, lavish French Creole holiday feast in New Orleans, named from the French word for "awakening," originally eaten late after midnight mass on Christmas Eve but now offered throughout December in many restaurants as multi-course, prix-fixe menus featuring rich dishes like gumbo, turtle soup, seafood, roasted meats, and decadent desserts. It's a festive culinary event showcasing Creole culture, with menus evolving from traditional breakfasts to elaborate dinners with modern twists. " -the google.This whole, ornate concept blows my mind. It feels like you have stepped into a Downton Abbey picture. Now, that is depending on where you chose to celebrate this decadent occasion. And for the past 5 years, we have welcomed chefs from all around New Orleans tell their stories of Reveillon and what it means to them. This yearrrrrr I am over the moon! We are welcoming back my buddy, veteran and super chef, Eric Cook! Chef Cook is the restauranteur behind the beloved Saint John and Gris-Gris restaurants. Listen to how Chef Cook is able to articulate his love language about New Orleans, their own direction and his committed dedication to this jewel of a city. His passion burns hotter than a black iron skillet.  Hear how he selects his menu and how he wants both restaurants to bring out different tastes of our great city.  Book your rez's now yall! Gris-Gris:Address: 1800 Magazine St, New Orleans, LA 70130Hours: Open · Closes 10 PM · More hoursThank you to our family of amazing sponsors!

Disney characters are coming to Sora The three-year partnership with OpenAI will bring Disney's iconic characters to the company's Sora AI video generator. But no voices will come with them, and only animated characters will be included, like Mickey Mouse, Cinderella, and Simba. A key part of this deal: Disney is also making a $1 billion equity investment in OpenAI. And the user-generated creations will be able to be used by Disney on things like Disney+. I'm surprised Disney did this deal. They're known in the industry as having some of the strictest rules about how their IP can be used. They're suing Midjourney for IP breaches, so maybe this is their way to profit from what they already know will happen even if they choose not to be involved. Reddit doesn't think it should be banned for kids in Australia It's making two arguments: first it says that the law limits free political discourse of children. This feels weak. It's second argument feels stronger: it calls itself a “collection of public fora arranged by subject”. It's basically saying that because you don't typically follow people on Reddit, you follow subjects, that it's not a social media app. It argues that people engage in interactions about that content, not person to person.

The college football world is buzzing to start this new week after the 12-team College Football Playoff teams were announced at midday Sunday. Just two years ago, 13-0 Florida State got jobbed. Alabama was selected as the final playoff team over the Seminoles as much of the nation booed in protest. Last year, Alabama was left behind after ACC runner-up 11-2 SMU was deemed more worthy of the final spot than a 10-2 Alabama team in the first-ever 12-team playoff field. Bama fans were understandably disappointed about being left out.  Some of us felt like it was a fitting payback from Alabama’s exceptional good fortune in the previous year. This year, the stars fell on Alabama once again. The Crimson Tide’s 10-3 record was deemed more impressive than 10-2 Notre Dame and a few other worthy two-loss competitors. Notre Dame became so angry about Sunday’s playoff slight than the Fighting (Mad) Irish have refused to accept any other bowl game invitation this holiday season (more on that later). How did we get here? From January, 1999 through January, 2014, the BCS Championship game was played one or two days after the traditional New Year’s Day games.  The major polls plus the computerized BCS ranking system determined the two top teams to play for the national title once the regular season and conference championship games concluded. Yes, those WERE the good ol’ days! A new four-team College Football Playoff system began in January, 2015.  This time, the top four teams (selected by a 13-member College Football Playoff committee) would play a couple of semifinal games on New Year’s Day.  The two winners faced-off about one week later to play for the national championship. The College Football Playoff committee (which rotates new members every three years) has been comprised primarily of current and former college athletic directors and football coaches. Can you believe that this group of 13 people meets (all expenses paid) up to ten times per football season? A more subtle but influential impact occurred when Disney’s ESPN unit purchased the exclusive rights to televise the College Football Playoff games. That move required college football fans to subscribe to cable television or a paid streaming services company to watch the two semifinals along with the championship game.  More recently, ESPN began to offer the College Football Playoff games via its own streaming service (at a monthly cost, of course). One year ago, a new 12-team College Football Playoff system was introduced. The expanded playoffs were expected to reduce the amount of fan complaining about the team(s) not selected for the 12th and final spot. If anything, the complaining about this 12-team playoff field has become even louder! On Saturday, two-loss Alabama just became the three-loss Crimson Tide. Bama lost a convincing 28-7 game to one-loss Georgia in the SEC championship in a nationally televised encounter for all to see. Yes, Alabama had defeated Georgia 24-21 – in Athens – earlier this season. Alabama, Georgia, Ole Miss, and Texas A&M all finished 7-1 in the SEC regular season standings.  A series of tiebreakers gave the first and second place spots to Alabama and Georgia and a date to play in last Saturday’s SEC Championship game in Atlanta. Georgia dominated Saturday’s game from start to finish.  Alabama fans were rightfully concerned about being left out of the 12-team College Football Playoff field.  Several other worthy teams were available and under consideration. The following teams each had two losses and finished with a better season record than 10-3 Alabama: North Texas (11-2) – lost the American Athletic Conf. title game to Tulane 34-21 Brigham Young (11-2) – lost the Big 12 title game to Texas Tech 34-7 Miami (FL) (10-2) – finished in a five-way tie for second place in the ACC Notre Dame (10-2) – lost to Miami in its first game of 2025 (27-24) Vanderbilt (10-2) – lost two road games (at 10-3 Alabama and at 9-3 Texas) Utah (10-2) – lost two road games (at 12-1 Texas Tech and at 11-2 BYU) The College Football Playoff committee met on Saturday and into early Sunday morning to determine this year’s 12 playoff teams. Here are their 12 playoff teams: Indiana – 13-0 and winner of Big Ten Conference title game Ohio State – 12-1 and runner-up in Big Ten Conference Georgia – 12-1 and winner of SEC Championship game Texas Tech -12-1 and winner of Big 12 Championship game The four top seeds will receive a first round “bye” into the quarterfinals.  Those four teams will not play in the opening round of games scheduled for Friday, December 19 and Saturday, December 20. The following eight teams will play in the first round – which won’t begin for nearly two weeks: Oregon (#5 seed and 11-1) will host #12 seed James Madison (12-1 – Sunbelt Conference champs) Ole Miss (#6 seed and 11-1) hosts #11 seed Tulane (11-2 – American Athletic Conference champion) Texas A&M (#7 seed and 11-1) is at home vs. #10 seed and 10-2 Miami (FL) Oklahoma (the #8 seed and 10-2) will host #9 seed and 10-3 Alabama Before we discuss why 10-2 Notre Dame wasn’t chosen, the 13-member CFP committee just created two first-round rematches from the 2025 regular season! Ole Miss hosted and thoroughly pounded Tulane 45-10 on September 20 in Oxford. Oklahoma traveled to Alabama just three weeks ago and defeated the Crimson Tide 23-21 in Tuscaloosa. The College Football Playoff committee just gave us rematches involving those four teams.  Why? Couldn’t they have used a little bit of creativity in their rankings to give us the same eight teams but in different match-ups? Does anyone really care which teams are ranked #9, 10, 11, and 12 as long as their team was included in the playoff field? For example, the playoff committee could have sent Miami to face Oklahoma, Alabama to play at Texas A&M, Tulane to visit Oregon, and James Madison traveling to challenge Ole Miss.  Again, what difference does it make which teams were ranked #9, 10, 11 or 12? Giving us two first round rematches was a very preventable blunder by the CFP committee and their self-imposed rules which often make very little common sense to most football fans. What in the world were they thinking? Now, let’s examine Notre Dame’s case for that final playoff spot The 10-2 Fighting Irish lost their first two games in 2025.  Notre Dame’s first loss came at Miami in a tight 27-24 season-opening game.  The Hurricanes won on a field goal with one minute to play. Notre Dame returned home to South Bend for its second game of the season.  Visiting Texas A&M scored a touchdown with 13 seconds to play as the Aggies edged the Irish 41-40 and sent Notre Dame to 0-2. The Fighting Irish then steamrolled several teams in winning its final ten games of the season.  Five of those ten wins, though, came over some really weak teams.  Purdue was 2-10.  So was Arkansas and Boston College.  Syracuse had a lousy 3-9 season, and Stanford stumbled to a 4-8 record. On the plus side, Notre Dame beat then #20 USC 34-24 at home and took a road win over then-#22 Pitt 37-15. The Irish also sank the Navy (9-2) by a 49-10 score in South Bend. Notre Dame had good reason to be angry about the College Football Playoff Committee’s rankings in the weeks leading up to Sunday’s selections ESPN owns the rights to televise the College Football Playoffs. Much of ESPN’s daily sports talk programming has focused on the race to win one of those coveted 12 spots in the College Football Playoffs. ESPN is in business to make money.   They are also masters of self-promotion. The sports network hosts a weekly one-hour prime-time TV show every Tuesday night which brings the latest CFP committee weekly rankings to interested viewers. Those weekly rankings then provide much of the daily subject matter for hours of ESPN’s daily programming.  The network’s hosts and guests bloviate endlessly about which teams might have the best chance of making this year’s College Football Playoffs. “Come back on Tuesday night to find out where your team is currently ranked!” Notre Dame was ranked ahead of the Miami Hurricanes by the CFP committee every week for the past month prior to Sunday’s final selection show. Based on the weekly CFP ranking shows, Notre Dame was considered to be “safe” to make the playoff field by the majority of football fans and the school’s athletics department. That’s because neither Notre Dame nor Miami played a game on Saturday.  Nothing changed.  Both remained 10-2 – just like their records were one week ago. Sunday’s selection show surprisingly elevated Miami ahead of Notre Dame and into the final playoff position. Why? The CFP committee meekly acknowledged that they gave the nod to the Hurricanes based on their Week #1 squeaker win – at home – over the Fighting Irish. Notre Dame and college football fans just had the rug pulled out from under them.  Haven’t we seen this script before? Notre Dame Athletic Director Pete Bavacqua laid the blame squarely on the CFP committee and partner-in-crime ESPN. “If the (ESPN) ranking shows are legitimate, there is no logical explanation of what happened to us,” said the Notre Dame AD.  “Just have one ranking show at the end, like Sunday.  What’s the point of doing anything prior to that?” You are so right, Pete!  However… ESPN makes a lot of money selling expensive ads during the football season based on those weekly Tuesday night CFP ranking shows.  Their telecasts are watched in large numbers by interested college football fans.  The shows also generate a significant media buzz (and incremental revenue) for ESPN. ESPN knows exactly what it is doing.  We just keep falling for it every year. Notre Dame is fighting back! The Fighting Irish are, well, fighting mad! The school is not going to give Disney/ESPN/ABC an additional opportunity to generate incremental revenue on the backs of the Notre Dame football team.  Sunday’s snub by the College Football Playoff committee (televised on a 3-hour show by ESPN, of course) brought a surprise announcement from Notre Dame. The Irish will not participate in any bowl game this season. In case you didn’t know this, the most likely bowl games where Notre Dame would have been invited to play would be televised by (surprise!) Disney’s ESPN and/or its ABC affiliates.  Disney directly owns and/or televises nearly all of the 35 non-College Football Playoff bowl games. This might be a good time to remind you that the television rights for most of Notre Dame’s regular season football games are owned by NBC. The Fighting Irish football games generate $50 million of annual revenue for the school via NBC’s regular season television contract through the end of the 2029 football season. Notre Dame is going to long remember the 2025 football season and this year’s playoff snub. Good luck to any sales representatives from “Mickey Mouse” who have the courage to show-up in South Bend, Indiana in a few years trying to lure the Irish into switching TV partners. “Mouse trap!” The post ESPN Created this CFP Chaos – We fell for it again! appeared first on SwampSwamiSports.com.

‘Tis the season for the annual swapping of gifts between the Prime Minister and broadcaster Mike Hosking. For Prime Minister Christopher Luxon the festive season has begun with meal tray tables bearing the longtime broadcaster's face, after the pair exchanged gifts in a Christmas tradition that dates back several years. As for Hosking, he'll leave the Newstalk ZB studio today with a bespoke calendar with a range of dates highlighted, from sports events to Parliament's Question Time and random world elections. “I get a lot of unsolicited advice when I'm in Parliament during question time. So, I've marked out in green all the times that you can give me that unsolicited advice,” Luxon said. “And then the other two big interests in your life are obviously F1 and the Warriors games, so they're all mapped out there on the planner. And then sometimes you love to give a bit of esoteric advice to the listeners around sort of the Cameroonian election that might be taking place. So, down this side, I've just given you a list of random world elections.” Luxon also gave the broadcaster two wine glass rubber lanyards, briefly alarming Hosking as he unwrapped his gift, which was “only for you and [wife] Kate”, Luxon said. “Oh my Lord, what is it?” Hosking replied before the Prime Minister revealed the lanyards were bought at Ikea after the Swedish giant opened its first New Zealand store in Auckland yesterday. Prime Minister Christopher Luxon and Newstalk ZB host Mike Hosking after the pair exchanged Christmas gifts on the Mike Hosking Breakfast this morning. Photo / Cameron Pitney “I was the first person in the country to make a physical purchase in the store at Ikea. And I bought Mike ... wine glass lanyard[s], because as he ponders his estate ... him and Kate go wandering around and they often have a glass of wine in hand. “As you've got older, I don't want you to trip and fall, because that'd be a real problem.” You can listen here to the exchange. The tray tables were inspired by a comment Luxon made this year about him and wife Amanda eating dinner on their laps while watching Netflix. “Stop eating dinner on your knee, it's not healthy”, Hosking scolded the Prime Minister. “All I ask of you when you're sitting with that on your lap looking at me … is not to spill your food.” The Prime Minister described the trays as having “lovely wood surrounds” and the image of Hosking as being “very wistful”. “It's ponderous and thoughtful,” Hosking said. “The question I'm asking you with my eyes is, ‘Do you really think you'll win the election next year?'” The Government has been struggling in the polls as economic challenges continue, with Luxon himself the subject of ongoing speculation that his leadership may face a challenge from within his own party. But the Prime Minister's response was to the point. “Oh hell yeah, don't you worry about that.” ‘The Complete Guide to Surviving a Mike Hosking Interview' Last year, after Luxon's first full year in the top job, Hosking gave the Prime Minister a gift he described as “one of one” and a “prototype”. It was a book titled “The Complete Guide to Surviving a Mike Hosking Interview”, which Luxon described as “genius”. Luxon gave Hosking a Christmas card with a family photo on it and some “furikake seasoning,” a Japanese seasoning typically made with toasted sesame seeds and nori. “People like me, who are men of the people, just use salt, I mean, I come from a very humble background,” Luxon said. “This is what really posh people do.” “Absolutely love it,” Hosking said in response to the gift. Prime Minister Christopher Luxon on Newstalk ZB's Mike Hosking Breakfast with host Mike Hosking in October. Photo / Mike Hosking Luxon also gave Hosking a “special energy Voost” that was described as “posh Berrocca”. Former Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern also exchanged gifts with Hosking during her time leading the country. This included in 2018 a framed photo given to Hosking of the pair riding Lime scooters together and, in exchange, a T-shirt with a picture of Hosking holding a vacuum cleaner. Broadcaster Mike Hosking proudly wearing his Christmas gift from Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern - a T-shirt immortalising a verbal stoush between the pair. Photo / Supplied The following year Ardern – who in 2021 would cancel her regular weekly interview on the Mike Hosking Breakfast – gave the broadcaster a T-shirt showing the pair mid-verbal stoush and with the slogan “I heart Tuesdays”. “This could go wrong,” Hosking then said as he prepared to give Ardern her gift, a miniature “one-off Mike Hosking vacuum cleaner”. “And I don't want you to think it's a sexist gift either because … no one loves to vacuum more than me.” Broadcaster Mike Hosking gifts Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern a miniature vacuum cleaner in their annual gift exchange in 2019. In 2020, Ardern pranked Hosking by gifting him a Labour billboard featuring the ZB host alongside the Prime Minister herself, a present she said Hosking will grow to love as the years roll on. “Do you want me on board? Have you seen my magnetism as a vote-getter?” Hosking joked. Ardern then unwrapped two presents from Hosking, one for daughter Neve and one for herself. Hosking gave Neve a Mickey Mouse soft toy with Neve's name engraved before pranking Ardern back with his own gift to her, a series of face masks with his face printed on the front. “When I first opened it, I briefly worried it was a g-string,” Ardern said.

Every time Disney adapts A Christmas Carol, it's a ghost story—but it's not just about Scrooge. It's a story about the Walt Disney Company itself. CHECK OUT THIS EPISODE IN VIDEO FOR THE FULL EXPERIENCE @ https://youtu.be/pCARpdjm0rk From the hand-drawn rebirth of Mickey Mouse in the 80s to the felt-and-friendship of the Muppets in the 90s, and the high-stakes digital ambition of the 2000s, each adaptation of Dickens' classic reveals exactly where Disney was as a company, what it was struggling with, and what kind of "spirit" was guiding its decisions. Join Eric as we unwrap the surprising corporate history hidden inside three holiday classics: The Ghost of Ink and Paint (1983) Mickey's Christmas Carol was more than a cute holiday short; it was a desperate sign of life from a struggling animation studio. We explore how this small project became a proving ground for the next generation of Disney legends (Keane, Lasseter) and marked the grand return of Mickey Mouse during Ron Miller's uncertain tenure. The Ghost of Felt and Friendship (1992) The Muppet Christmas Carol was the first Muppet film made without Jim Henson—and the first under the Walt Disney Pictures banner. It's a story of legacy, loss, and how Brian Henson fought to keep the heart in the story (and why a certain song was controversially cut by Jeffrey Katzenberg). The Ghost of Digital Ambition (2009) Robert Zemeckis' motion-capture version starring Jim Carrey was designed to be the ultimate A Christmas Carol. Instead, it became a cautionary tale about the high cost of innovation, the "uncanny valley," and why Disney's $200 million experiment (ImageMovers Digital) shuttered just two years later. These films are a timeline of Disney's struggles, expansions, and triumphs. Watch now to discover the surprising synergy of art, commerce, and Christmas spirit!

"Si lo que realmente te apasiona es picar código y nerdear, no te hagas CTO". Con esta honestidad brutal nos recibe Sergio Gago, CTO de Cloudera y autor de "The CTO Toolbox", en un episodio diseñado para romper los idealismos de la carrera tecnológica. Sergio defiende que un líder debe tener "manos de constructor" , pero nos enfrenta a la gran paradoja del rol: para triunfar, debes soltar la reconfortante certeza del código y abrazar el caos de la gestión humana y la incertidumbre del negocio.Desde sus inicios como lo que él llama un "CTO Mickey Mouse" en una startup de 3 personas hasta gestionar estrategias globales de Big Data e IA, Sergio disecciona las fases de madurez por las que pasarás, de gestionar tu casa a gobernar un país entero, y revela la verdad más incómoda de la transición: llega un día en que tu equipo deja de ser los ingenieros con los que te ibas de fiesta y pasa a ser la C-Suite, un grupo de ejecutivos que hablan un idioma financiero que probablemente necesites aprender a la fuerza (o con un MBA) para sobrevivir en la mesa de decisiones. Un viaje imprescindible sobre cómo superar el síndrome del impostor, evitar ser el cuello de botella de tu empresa y entender por qué, a veces, el éxito significa dejar de hacer lo que más te gustaba.Support the show

Chris and Alex make their first foray into the world of Laurel and Hardy with this reflection on Babes in Toyland (Gus Meins and Charles Rogers, 1934), a film based loosely on the Mother Goose fairytale albeit with a few other nursery rhyme characters thrown in for good measure, all supported by the iconicity of Laurel and Hardy and the duo's particular brand of slapstick comedy. Joining them to separate their Tom-Tom Piper from their Bo Peep is Rob King, Professor of Film at Columbia University and a film historian who has written wildly on American genre cinema, popular culture, and cultural history with a particular emphasis on silent-era stardom and comedy. Topics for Episode 163 include Laurel and Hardy's starring role in smoothing out the transition from silent to sound cinema, and the early twentieth-century industrial importance of the slapstick genre; the sound of fantasy and the demise of the comedy short in Hollywood; the immersive worlds of childhood and the enchantment of drawings; toys, toyness, and child's play; and what Babes in Toyland has to say about the emergence of consumer culture through its pointed citation of Mickey Mouse. **Fantasy/Animation theme tune composed by Francisca Araujo** **As featured on Feedspot's 25 Best London Education Podcasts**

Protože se nám na poslední chvíli odpadlo hráčstvo na speciální dračákový díl, vymysleli jsme neméně kvalitní téma: animované seriály a filmy, které z naší generace viděl asi každý, dokonce včetně Dominika. S Jardou a Žofkou, kteří měli čas a chuť přijít, se v první půlce se bavíme o japonském anime (hokajdó) a jestli do něj počítat Pokémony, jestli jsou Simpsonovi dobří i v aktuální 97. sérii a jestli má smysl koukat na South Park.Ve druhé polovině na našem herohero pak dojde na sexuální probouzení prostřednictvím seriálu Špionky, tolik populární umělecký žánr hentai i rozbor toho, kdo je vlastně Mickey Mouse. Na konci se pak dělíme o tipy na náš oblíbený animovaný konŤas.P.S.: Trochu experimentujeme s procesováním zvuku - kdyby to místy znělo tzv. zprdele, omlouváme se a děkujeme Magdě s Jirkou, kteří s dodaným materiálem dělali, co mohli.

Introduced as ‘The Lost Colony', this is another episode of The Goon Show which sees Neddie Seagoon being duped by Grytpype-Thynne and Moriarty. In this case, they convince him that he is a Native American who rightfully owns New York – his ancestors having sold the land to Dutch settlers in the 1620s for a piece of brown string, eleven pence in notes, a Mickey Mouse watch, remains of a small boiled chicken and a life-sized statue of Sabrina. Seagoon paddles to America in a zinc bath tub and through a dubious transaction secures a Native American birth certificate. He tries to sue the US government, claiming New York belongs to him, but ends up in jail. Once free and bent on revenge he attempts to blow the city sky-high – but at what cost? Joining Tyler this week is writer & producer Tom Salinsky, whose new podcast – All British Comedy Explained – is an exercise in introducing British comedy to his American friend, comedian Abigoliah Schamaun. Abigoliah has lived in the UK for many years but her knowledge of British comedy history is limited so Tom is trying to put that right. At the time of recording they have covered Monty Python's Flying Circus, The Young Ones and Not Only But Also – all three of them game-changers – and coming up they will be examining The Goon Show, so Tyler figured it was a neat idea to get Tom onto discuss an episode which rarely gets talked about. The Sale Of Manhattan was broadcast almost exactly seventy years ago and while it contains some questionable stereotypes there is plenty to enjoy and it was a great opportunity to gain Tom's perspective on the series.

On this week's episode of The Game Deflators Podcast, John and Ryan share the latest additions to their gaming collections before diving into what they're currently playing—John continues his long trek through The Witcher, while Ryan experiences Metal Gear Solid for the very first time. The duo then shift gears to industry news, discussing Nintendo's recent revelation about the percentage of Switch 2 owners who upgraded from the original Switch, Tencent's unusual “Mickey Mouse defense” in its court battle with Sony, and the U.S. Patent Office's decision to reexamine Nintendo's patent on summoning mechanics. Wrapping things up, the guys take a nostalgic detour with a quirky retro review of Mega Man Soccer for the SNES, debating whether this oddball spin-off is a hidden gem or simply a relic best left in the past.   00:00 Introduction to the Podcast and Current Games 03:21 Nintendo's Patent Issues and Market Trends 06:02 Exploring the Witcher Series and Gameplay Experiences 09:04 Ryan's Metal Gear Solid Journey 12:06 Dungeons & Dragons Update 15:17 Nintendo's Switch 2 Sales and Consumer Loyalty 18:13 Nintendo's Patent Controversy 28:56 Patent Controversies and Gaming Mechanics 32:43 The Impact of Competition on Nintendo 34:44 Crafting Games and Market Dynamics 36:53 Trademark Battles and Character Design 45:29 Mega Man Soccer: A Frustrating Experience 55:22 Outro   Want more Game Deflators content?

If your mind can take one tiny worry and turn it into a full-blown disaster movie, you're not alone.That's catastrophic thinking — and it's one of the most common patterns survivors of covert narcissistic abuse struggle with. After years of walking on eggshells, your brain learns to expect danger, even when there's none. Whether you lived with a covertly abusive spouse or grew up under a narcissistic parent, your nervous system has been trained to stay on high alert. It's not because you're weak — it's because your brain learned to survive chaos. In this episode, Renee dives into how catastrophic thinking forms, why it's so persistent, and how to retrain your mind for peace. You'll learn practical tools to interrupt the spiral, including the Mickey Mouse voice trick, separating facts from fears, grounding your body in the present moment, and shifting from “what if” to “even if.” You'll discover how to talk to your inner protector with compassion, stop rehearsing disaster, and start rehearsing calm.This is your permission to stop living in fear of the next explosion — and start building safety within yourself. Because peace doesn't come from control. It comes from trust — the quiet knowing that you can handle what comes next.
