In this episode of Grumpy Old Geeks—Mad Hatter edition—we kick things off with a refresher on Staingate and the joys of delamination (spoiler: it's not a spa treatment). Then we dive into the U.S. government's latest tech innovation: buying up domains that sound like QAnon Mad Libs in support of Trump's meme coin. Meanwhile, DOGE decided to hand the steering wheel of housing regulations to a college kid and an AI. What could possibly go wrong? Not to be outdone, Elon shows up to a Trump meeting wearing two hats—one for each of his unchecked egos—and MoviePass launches a crypto-tied box office fantasy league, because we've clearly learned nothing.In the actual news, 4chan has risen from the dead like a less hygienic Lazarus, but it's still broken (shocker). Worldcoin's eyeball-scanning overlords are now teaming up with Tinder and Visa—romance and capitalism, together at last. Bitcoin mining is officially more pointless than Beanie Babies, and Microsoft says AI now writes 30% of its code—explains a lot, really. Meta somehow manages to forecast $1.4 trillion in AI revenue while also letting its bots get horny with minors. Meanwhile, Pinterest suddenly pretends to care about AI slop (while being the biggest copyright vampire online), and ChatGPT gets less clingy after OpenAI dials back its update that made it sound like your overly supportive aunt. Plus: more AI lies, shady benchmarks, pillow guy legal drama, and a reminder that North Korean remote workers also hate awkward small talk.We cool off with a Media Candy binge: Schmactors Season 2 is here, Andor returns, Conclave confuses us in the best way, and Ryan Coogler is giving X-Files a reboot we probably don't deserve. Jeremy Renner turns down Disney's lowball Hawkeye offer (respect), and musically we vibe with Maria Somerville and Anka Wolbert's latest releases. In Apps & Doodads, Apple and Epic are back in court, Apple Arcade keeps feeding us Mahjong, and Meta's Ray-Bans go full Stasi. Lyft wants your boomer parents off the road, and Google is sunsetting old Nest thermostats like it's Logan's Run for smart homes. Finally, we peek At the Library with Jason Pargin's black box paranoia, Scalzi's lunar love story, and a massive stack of sci-fi, fantasy, and horror. Rounding out the show: a shout-out to The Alarm's Mike Peters, gone too soon at 66.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Head over to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use the code "GOG" for 20% off.Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

On today's episode, Kimberly joins "Economics on Tap" from the Toronto airport. We'll unpack President Trump's elimination of a tariff loophole known as the de minimus exemption that went into effect today, meaning low-cost shipments will no longer enter the United States tariff-free.

Road rage made a Pennsylvanian woman do WHAT? Also, is this the best NHL playoffs ever so far? We talk about the prices on Xboxes going up, MoviePass releasing a betting program for movies, and lots more!

Take a look back at the rise, fall, and resurrection of MoviePass as we discuss “MoviePass, MovieCrash.” After we recorded this episode, former MoviePass CEO Ted Farnsworth pleaded guilty to defrauding investors. Find past conversations at workiva.com/off-the-books-podcast, including our episodes about the best accounting movies.

Brian and Jason kick things off with a look at why Gen Z grads are getting fired just months after landing jobs and a curiously viral declassified CIA sabotage guide. Speaking of sabotage, U.S. students are struggling with their lowest reading scores in decades, raising questions about the future workforce. Meanwhile, Google Maps' controversial renaming of the Gulf of Mexico to “Gulf of America” for U.S. users has sparked some amusing geopolitical tit-for-tats. In the AI wars, OpenAI is fuming over claims that DeepSeek trained its models using OpenAI's own stolen data—ironic, given OpenAI's history of scraping the internet. As if that weren't enough, California's Attorney General warns AI companies that nearly everything they're doing might be illegal, while the Copyright Office suggests AI copyright issues were settled way back in 1965. Oh, and OpenAI is now in the nuclear weapons game. What could possibly go wrong?In tech and business news, CVS is making customers jump through app hoops to unlock cabinets, Uber claims it's the victim of an elaborate fake crash scheme, and Tesla promises a robotaxi business and humanoid robots in 2025—though Musk admits current Teslas will need new hardware to achieve full self-driving. Whole Foods workers have formed their first union since Amazon took over, and MoviePass is considering a pivot to crypto, because of course it is. Meanwhile, Elon Musk's ventures keep making headlines, and Waymo's driverless taxis are facing vandalism in Southern California. Law enforcement in California is also in hot water, having misused state databases over 7,000 times last year.For media lovers, Star Trek: Section 31 is on the horizon, while The Expanse‘s first three seasons are vanishing from Amazon soon. Behind the Music is back, and Ladies & Gentlemen… 50 Years of SNL Music offers a deep dive into the show's musical legacy. On the gaming front, classic titles like Spaceship Warlock and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy are getting attention alongside newly accessible archives of 1,500 classic gaming magazines. The Night Agent Season 2 is here and it sucks, and Amazon is hiking the price of its Music Unlimited subscriptions. Finally, the episode wraps with a nod to Marianne Faithfull's passing and China's new “magic beans” shaking up American markets—because, in this chaotic world, even the beans are making headlines because AI wrote this terrible summary.Sponsors:Factor - Get started at FactorMeals.com/grumpy50off and use code grumpy50off to get 50% off your first box plus free shipping.

What if the key to unlocking humanity's full potential lies in embracing the unique perspectives and contributions of those who have been overlooked or undervalued throughout history? Stacy Spikes' journey as an outsider in the tech industry is a testament to the power of resilience and determination. Recognizing that he did not fit the conventional image of a successful tech entrepreneur, he fearlessly confronted the barriers before him, driven by a desire to break down not only the mold but also the glass ceiling that loomed above. His experience navigating the intricacies of the tech world provided invaluable lessons about the challenges of being an outsider. But instead of viewing it as a hindrance, Stacy discovered that his unique position granted him a distinct advantage. By embracing his outsider perspective, he saw the untapped opportunities and unexplored niches that others may have overlooked.  Joining us on today's episode of The Greatness Machine, Stacy talks about his book, Black Founder: The Hidden Power of Being an Outsider, where readers are taken on a powerful and transformative journey that combines an inspiring memoir with a candid exploration of the challenges faced by a trailblazing business leader.  In this episode, Darius and Stacy discuss Stacy's entrepreneurial journey, including his experiences with MoviePass and his motivation to start Urbanworld Film Festival. Stacy shares some key takeaways from his book, Black Founder: The Hidden Power of Being an Outsider, offering guidance to fellow founders, and emphasizing the importance of overcoming mental barriers to success. They also recount MoviePass' rise and fall, its acquisition, and its triumphant return with a sustainable model.  Topics include: What sparked Stacy's passion for the entertainment industry that lead him to pursue a career in Hollywood Stacy looks back at his experience and challenges working on soundtracks at Miramax How the events of 9/11 have left a profound impact on Stacy's perspective How Urban World has helped launch the careers of notable filmmakers and actors Stacy shares his take on embracing diversity  What motivated Stacy to start a nonprofit festival called Urban World Co-founding Urbanworld Films and what the company offers to moviegoers  The challenges of co-founding MoviePass and what it took to fund the app What the future looks like for MoviePass What inspired Stacy to write Black Founder: The Hidden Power of Being an Outsider And other topics… Connect with Stacy: Website: https://www.stacyspikes.com/ Website: https://www.moviepass.com/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stacyspikes/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stacyspikes/  Connect with Darius: Website: https://therealdarius.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dariusmirshahzadeh/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whoompdarius/ YouTube: https://therealdarius.com/youtube Book: The Core Value Equation https://www.amazon.com/Core-Value-Equation-Framework-Limitless/dp/1544506708 Sponsored by: Indeed: Get a $75 sponsored job credit to boost your job's visibility at Indeed.com/DARIUS.

Best-selling author & cultural critic Roxane Gay (Bad Feminist, Hunger) joins the Con-gregation to help break down the fraud-filled downfall of MoviePass, the subscription service that offered users unlimited movies for the wildly unsustainable price of $10 a month. You might know how MoviePass eventually collapsed, but its problems actually first began when a rich white guy stole the company from its two black founders. Oh and in case you're wondering, we also learn that, yes, you can in fact throw ass to the Succession theme song. Stay schemin'! Read Roxane's latest long-form piece, "Stand Your Ground: A Black Feminist Reckoning with America's Gun Problem": https://www.everand.com/book/755164376/Roxane-Gay-Everand-Originals-Stand-Your-Ground-A-Black-Feminist-Reckoning-with-America-s-Gun-Problem Pre-Order Laci's book “Scam Goddess: Lessons from a Life of Cons, Grifts and Schemes": https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/laci-mosley/scam-goddess/9780762484652/?lens=running-press Follow on Instagram:Scam Goddess Pod: @scamgoddesspodLaci Mosley: @divalaciRoxane Gay: @roxanegay74 Research by Kaelyn Brandt. Want a free 3-month trial of the SiriusXM app?

In this conversation, Bill and Prof. Christopher Bricklemyer discuss various topics, including upcoming movies, comic books, and their waning interest in certain franchises. They touch on movies like Hellboy and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as well as their experiences with collecting action figures and Funko Pops. The conversation highlights their changing tastes and the challenges of keeping up with new releases. The conversation covers various topics including collecting vintage Star Wars figures, music preferences, the MoviePass documentary, and the band Nickelback. The hosts discuss their love for vintage Star Wars figures and the recent resurgence of newly tooled figures. They also talk about their music preferences, with one host sharing his love for documentaries and the other discussing his preference for familiar music. The conversation then shifts to the MoviePass documentary, with one host recommending it and the other expressing his lack of interest. Finally, they briefly discuss a documentary about the band Nickelback, with one host sharing his disappointment in the lack of depth in the film. In this part of the conversation, Prof. Christopher Bricklemyer and Bill discuss their dislike for the band Kiss and their lead singer Gene Simmons. They express their frustration with Simmons' controversial statements and behavior, which has led them to dislike the band and even avoid watching movies that feature Simmons. They also touch on the topic of separating art from the artist and how it can be challenging to support artists whose views or actions don't align with their own.

The C.O.W.S. Neutralizing Workplace Racism 07/12/24. Way back in 2022, it was reported the privileged black male Jerrod Jones announced he was filing suit against the Rochester Fire Department for Racist conduct. Specifically, Jones charged that his White supervisor ordered him to attend a "mock" Juneteenth party with mostly White people. Buckets of fried chicken decorated the events and members of the Democratic party were cruelly mimicked. 2 years later, Jones received $75,000 in compensation now, and will get another $75,000 in 4 years upon his retirement. He'll be on paid lead from the Rochester Fire Department until his retirement four years from now. That's the best news I've ever heard regarding a black person attending a "juneteenth" jamboree. We also discuss the cofounder of Movie Pass, Stacy Spikes. This privileged black male was forced to resign from the company he started and replaced by a pair of White dudes who bankrupted the company and are each facing charges of securities fraud and wire fraud. Spikes had no choice but to purchase back the company he helped launch with the hopes of making the reboot profitable. #SpaceX #TheCOWS15Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

6.5.2024 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: GA Election Case Halted, Rep. Byron Donalds & Jim Crow, Ex-Black Panther Party Leader & Donald Trump Atlanta for Steve Harvey's Charity Golf Classic. I'll talk about the tournament later in the show, but here's what's coming Up on Roland Martin Unfiltered, streaming live on the Black Star Network. The Georgia Court of Appeals has halted the Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump while it reviews the lower court judge's ruling allowing Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to remain on the case. Trump-loving Florida Congressman Byron Donalds suggested to a crowd of Black Philadelphia conservatives that things were better under Jim Crow.  House Minority Leader Congressman Hakeem Jeffries took to the House Floor to give Lil Byron a history lesson. And a White Wisconsin man shoved a black school superintendent so his daughter would not shake his hand during a graduation ceremony.  The family of David Hilliard, a former leader of the Black Panther Party, says the video of him endorsing Donald Trump for president is entirely true.  Hilliard's grandson will be here to explain.  Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson and Ben Crump were on Capitol Hill today to promote Black representation in the liquor industry. In our Tech Talk segment, Isaac Hayes III, the Manager and Founder of Fanbase, will explain how white corporate greed pushed the black founders of MoviePass out of their company.  #BlackStarNetwork advertising partners:Fanbase

Eli Zaret drops by to complain about the Mike Tyson / Jake Paul postponement, respond to Donald Trump's conviction a little bit, MLB games on Roku & Apple TV, cheapskate Chris Ilitch, Ty Cobb losing records to DEI, George Floyd statues, Caitlin Clark drama, the NBA Finals preview, Troy Weaver BLOWN OUT by the Detroit Pistons, Bronny's NBA tryouts, NCAA roster madness, and much more. Politics: People on both sides are going crazy over the Donald Trump verdict. Drew counted cliché's over the weekend. Trump went on to a roaring crowd at a UFC fight. The Black vote may put Trump in office this time around. Joe Biden hosted the Kansas City Chiefs at the White House and put a helmet on to look ridiculous. The Alex Jones Show is getting shut down by the Feds! Wait… nevermind… he's live today. There is a new TikTok queen and she's full of snot. Check out this NSFW Edmonton Oilers fan. WOW! Documentaries: New cult alert: Dancing with the Devil on Netflix. There is a MoviePass documentary on Max. Robert De Niro stripped of a “prestigious” award for popping off in New York last week. True Crime: Doomsday cult leader Chad Daybell has been sentenced to death. Michelle Troconis has been sentenced for her participation with Fotis Dulos. 48 Hours featured the death of Fabio Sementilli. JLo's life is in shambles and her life sucks now. Lopez has canceled her tour, not due to low ticket sales, but to spend time with her family because no one likes her album or wants to see her perform.. Eminem dropped a new banger. Spotify's most streamed albums of all time. Nicki Minaj cancels another concert post-arrest. She declares the Dutch racist. Diddy's former employees are telling-all. There are a lot of older bands in the Billboard 200. Paris Hilton is dropping more crappy music. She also gave the most uninspired performance at LA Pridefest.
