In Episode 70 of the MacBroz Podcast, we're diving into the gear and decisions that actually matter — not the stuff you change every five minutes. We break down our thoughts on defensive ammunition: what we run, why we trust it, and how real-world use beats marketing hype every time. From there, we get into our current EDC setups — what we're carrying right now, how and why those setups evolve… and why we don't swap our EDC more often than our underwear (yes, some people do — we're not those people). We also jump into optics talk, including Gideon Optics, sharing hands-on experiences, expectations, and where they fit in a very crowded optics market. To wrap things up, we touch on Rumble, platform conversations, and how creators and viewers are navigating the current landscape without losing their minds. As always, it's honest conversation, practical insights, and just the right amount of MacBroz chaos.

We Like Shooting Episode 640 This episode of We Like Shooting is brought to you by: Midwest Industries, Die Free Co., Medical Gear Outfitters, Mitchell Defense, Rost Martin, and Swampfox Optics   Welcome to the We Like Shooting Show, episode 640! Our cast tonight is Jeremy Pozderac, Savage1r, Jon Patton, and me Shawn Herrin, welcome to the show!   - Gear Chat Nick - KRG Bravo Unplugged KRG Bravo Shawn - GLOCK Unveils Ergonomically Enhanced Generation 6 Models ## Key Points Summary Intro This summary captures the main takeaways from the Glock Gen 6 launch coverage featuring John from the Warrior Poet Society. The discussion centers on design changes, practical improvements, and shooting impressions, with notes on market timing and pricing. Sponsorships were not part of the core content. Center Key design changes and their practical impact - Grip and texture: The new texture sits between Gen 4 and RTF2; two backstraps including a palm swell are provided. The texture extends higher on both sides for a more secure hold, especially in hot conditions. - Ergonomics: Deeper trigger guard undercut reduces the “Glock knuckle” issue; the grip surface is larger, improving surface area for those with bigger hands; the grip shape swells in the midsection for a more natural wrap. - Controls: Deeper slide serrations, especially on top, enhance manipulation from either end of the slide. The ambidextrous slide release remains, and the pistol uses a single recoil spring (as in earlier generations) while retaining some material from the B-series. - Magwell and contour: The magwell is more flared; the overall contour resembles a topographic map, broadening the hand placement area and increasing leverage for a stronger grip. - Gas pedals and holster compatibility: Gas pedals are built into the frame on both sides with material reduced to protect compatibility with Gen 5 holsters; the goal is a functional improvement without forcing new holsters. - Optics and plates: The plate system is not MOS; it uses a polymer insert that sits lower on the slide and acts like a crush washer under tension. Footprints include Delta Point and RMR; optic-ready configuration remains, with some models rumored to feature polymer sights. - Sights and optics readiness: The factory setup is optics-ready, with some early photos showing polymer sight options. - Barrel and reliability: The Marksman barrel remains, but the extractor housing has been redesigned to be removable for easier maintenance and to reduce installation errors. - Handling and feel: The grip bite is strong but not overly tacky, enabling fast, controlled manipulations without the gun sticking to the hand. Models, availability, and pricing - US launch models: Gen 617 (with Glock 47 form factor), 19-length slide paired to a full-size grip (G45-like); overseas, Glock 49 appears as a variant. - Optics-ready configuration: All examples are MOS-ready or compatible, with plates included for common footprints. - Pricing and timing: MSRP is anticipated around $750; production units were slated to begin arriving in January, with possible earlier availability as information evolves. - Accessories and maintenance: An updated extractor housing system is highlighted as simplifying field maintenance and reducing failure risks due to improper screw length. User experience and feedback - Hand feel: The curved, swollen midsection improves leverage and comfort; the grip texture provides secure grip without excessive tackiness, avoiding slip during rapid manipulation. - Shooting impressions: A large, controlled sampling (nine pistols and thousands of rounds) yielded consistent ejection and reliable cycling during demonstrations; full independent testing will further validate reliability. - Community notes: Gen 5 users worried about slide-lock issues may benefit from deeper cuts and reinforced stops; modular grip options were not part of the initial rollout, though patent activity suggests ongoing development. Outro Takeaway: Gen 6 Glock delivers meaningful ergonomic and grip improvements, while maintaining optics readiness and reliability expectations. The US market rollout is aimed for January with a target MSRP near $750; overseas options include Glock 49. Next steps include comprehensive independent testing, longer-term reliability data, and broader real-world reviews. Stay tuned for updates, and consider price-alert subscriptions for stock and accessory availability.

WLS is Lifestyle Hoover's Legal Rollercoaster ## Key Points Summary,**Intro**,This summary distills the latest developments surrounding Matt Hoover, the CRS Firearms creator, after a lengthy legal battle tied to the so-called “auto key card.” The focus is on the factual timeline, legal questions, and current status as Hoover emerges from federal prison into a halfway house. The material below omits sponsorship references and concentrates on the core events and implications for Hoover, his case, and ongoing appeals., ,**Centerpiece Facts & Timeline**,,- **Subject and backdrop**: Matt Hoover, known for the CRS Firearms YouTube channel, was linked to advertisements for the auto key card—a novelty item featuring a lightning-link-like etching intended to imply automatic-fire capability. The item did not function as advertised, and there is no evidence Hoover owned, sold, or manufactured machine guns or auto key cards.,- **Arrest and charge**: Despite the nonfunctional etching and absence of direct ownership or manufacturing activity, Hoover was arrested and charged with trafficking machine guns. The case connected him to Christopher Justin Irvin, the creator of the auto key card.,- **Sentencing dynamics**: The pre-sentencing report highlighted Hoover's clean criminal record and his role as the family's primary breadwinner, presenting a favorable background for leniency. Yet, prosecutors sought the maximum sentence, arguing aggressive measures despite the limited direct involvement in weapon manufacture or sales.,- **Contested assertions**: The government asserted extreme accusations, including a claim that Hoover married to prevent her testimony, despite Hoover and his wife sharing multiple children. These assertions drew skepticism and counter-arguments during proceedings and appellate discussions.,- **Gag order controversy**: The government attempted to impose gag orders on journalists covering the case. Those efforts were challenged and ultimately overturned, favoring press freedom and coverage of the proceedings.,- **Appeals process**: Hoover and Irvin both appealed their convictions to the Eleventh Circuit. The Eleventh Circuit heard the appeal in September, but no published decision had been issued at the time of reporting. The appellate discussion centers on evidentiary standards, the government's interpretation of the auto key card's legal status, and potential misapplications of trafficking statutes given the novelty item's nonfunctional nature.,- **Current status**: Hoover has been released from federal prison into a halfway house to serve the remainder of his sentence, effectively transitioning from confinement to supervised community-based placement. He is not at home, but he is no longer in a traditional prison setting. The case remains active on appeal, with the circuit court's decision pending.,- **Context and implications**: The broader implications touch on how prosecutors frame “trafficking” related to nonfunctional or novelty items, the evidentiary boundaries for associating creators with distributors, and the practical impact on families and communities tied to defendants in high-profile cases.,- **Public calls to action**: Viewers and supporters are encouraged to engage with ongoing legal debates, follow the Eleventh Circuit decision when released, and participate in related community discussions. Acknowledgment of the current status, while staying tuned for further updates,

In this Thanksgiving-eve episode, CannCon and Chris Paul kick things off with banter about holiday travel chaos, media fear tactics, and Trump's turkey-pardon humor before moving into deeper geopolitical analysis. They break down Trump's comments on color revolutions, the Hunter Biden pardon joke, and how these moments tie into broader narratives about legitimacy and power. The hosts dive into UN reform as Trump allies announce sweeping cuts and spending audits, exposing just how much the U.S. bankrolls global institutions. They also cover Bolsonaro's 27-year prison sentence and the suspicious “hallucinating medication” narrative, Venezuela tensions, the sinking of cartel-linked drug boats, and how U.S. involvement is framed by the media. The episode then shifts to the Democrats' ongoing “illegal orders” narrative, with CannCon and Chris highlighting the clear attempt to politicize the military and manufacture a color-revolution-style break in command. From AI Christian artists to biological fairness in sports, Chicago crime policy, Smartmatic ties, and shifting global alliances, this episode pulls together the week's most revealing clues about where power is consolidating, and unraveling.

In this episode, Dave and Jamison answer these questions: Hey Dave and Jamison, Big fan of the show — listening from Portugal! (Proof that even across the Atlantic, software politics are universal.) I'm a tech lead, and lately I've noticed a culture where people seem to care way more about how things look than what actually gets done. It's like the appearance of productivity matters more than real impact. Honestly, it drives me nuts!! I know politics are part of any organization, and way more in a leadership role, but this feels excessive. As someone who values substance and solid engineering, how do I deal with or influence this kind of culture without losing my sanity (or turning into one of those “optics-first” people myself)? Thanks for all the insights and laughs. Kudos from Portugal! Listener Charlie says, I'm fresh out of college at my first software engineering job. Several months ago I was appointed the accessibility champion for my team. I proposed a few items in the quarterly planning session, but I think it wasn't enough. My project manager called out our whole team, but I think it was mostly aimed at me. I've been struggling with creating Jira cards, shaping with the team, writing a11y guidelines, etc. It's tedious and I'm not really familiar with this kind of work. How can I get better at the “other stuff” besides just writing code? P.S. I volunteered for this responsibility

In this conversation, Remi Warren discusses the importance of using binoculars effectively while hunting. He emphasizes that hunters should utilize their optics to enhance their ability to spot wildlife, likening binoculars to a superpower that can significantly improve the hunting experience. Warren shares insights on how to approach wildlife observation and the necessity of actively looking through optics rather than relying on chance. Takeaways Using binoculars is essential for spotting animals. You need to actively look through your optics. Binoculars provide a significant advantage in hunting. Seeing a place you want to look is key. Many hunters do not utilize their optics effectively. Optics can enhance your wildlife observation skills. You have to put your glass to your face. Relying on eyesight alone is not effective. Understanding how to use optics is crucial. Hunting success can be improved with proper optics usage.

Jon Herold and Burning Bright dissect a chaotic week of collapsing narratives, from the media's forced pivot on immigration to the panicked overreaction to Trump's MBS summit. They break down the sudden bipartisan shift toward stricter border policy, why Democrats are now echoing Trump's talking points, and how the political class is scrambling to align with a rapidly changing electorate. Jon and BB unpack the “MAGA is dead” psyop, the coordinated doomer wave, and Elon Musk's bizarre claim that MBS is trying to “influence Trump,” analyzing how these narratives are designed to fracture Trump's coalition and distract from his geopolitical momentum. They dig into the Epstein file theatrics, the Clay Higgins controversy, the Higgins–Plaskett angle, and Trump's strategic timing in handing Democrats the rope they're now tangled in. With sharp insight, humor, and their trademark systems-level analysis, Jon and BB map out how legacy media, federal agencies, and controlled influencers are losing control of the story as parallel awakenings accelerate worldwide.

CannCon and Ashe in America hit the ground running as they break down a frantic 24 hours of media panic, political spin, and global power realignment. With MBS's historic White House visit still echoing through the news cycle, they highlight how corporate media is desperately trying to bury the trillion-dollar announcement by flooding the zone with Epstein noise. MSNBC flails, ABC scrambles, and journalists push synchronized talking points that collapse under scrutiny. To dig deeper into the geopolitical stakes, they bring on Ghost, who outlines why MBS's arrival marks a generational power shift, how the U.S.–Saudi partnership is being re-engineered, and what Trump's timing reveals about the emerging world order. CannCon unpacks Epstein hypocrisy and the bizarre behavior of both left-wing media and certain “right-wing allies,” while Ashe tracks the accelerating narrative warfare and strategic misdirection pouring out of Clown World. A sharp, fiery, fast-moving episode capturing a moment where everything seems to accelerate at once.

Jon Herold unpacks a chaotic news cycle with equal parts analysis, frustration, and humor as he dives into the latest Epstein bill drama, Trump's remarks, congressional backroom deals, and why the media is spinning the vote as a humiliation. He questions whether the trillion-dollar Saudi commitments have produced any real-world investment yet, breaks down Trump's messaging on the MBS meeting, and highlights the White House's carefully crafted optics. Jon dissects Clay Higgins' lone “no” vote, MTG's claims about Plaskett's Epstein-era texts, and the bipartisan maneuvering that kept multiple censure resolutions off the table. He explores the psyop landscape, bots, infiltrators, influencers, suppression, and attempts to fracture Trump's base under the guise of “America First.” Jon also confronts the Comey indictment meltdown as DOJ attorneys admit the grand jury never saw the operative indictment, raising the possibility of dismissal on a procedural failure. With side tangents on scissoring, shrooms, Badlanders meetups, Twitter chaos, dental trauma, and the Gong Show energy of modern politics, Jon delivers a dense, irreverent, and revealing walk through Clown World's latest chapter.

A fast, practical deep dive into The Trade Desk's move to label all SSPs as "resellers" — what that label actually means, why it has a bad rap, and where it's fair vs. misleading. Gareth breaks down value-add resellers (e.g., unique widgets/placements) vs. pure pass-through reselling, explains OpenPath in plain English, and demystifies the Transaction ID debate: what it is, why TTD wants it, and how it impacts buy-side efficiency and supply transparency. We wrap with actionable steps for traders — how to pressure-test paths, when to go direct with publishers/PMPs, and how to optimize beyond a basic domain list. Here's What You'll Learn Reseller ≠ automatically bad: the original IAB intent vs. today's nuanced reality. OpenPath vs. exchanges: what "direct to publisher" actually changes (and what it doesn't). Transaction ID, explained simply: one auction ➝ one ID ➝ fewer dupes and smarter SPO. How to buy smarter right now: talk to publishers, ask for goal-specific PMPs, and evaluate placements/experiences — not just domains. Buyer playbook upgrades: site list ➝ supply-path & placement-level decisions; pair KPI outcomes with quality signals (viewability, density, layout).   Sign up to this FREE workshop: https://programmaticdigest14822.ac-page.com/sell-side-workshop  About Us: We teach historically excluded individuals how to break into programmatic media buying and land their dream jobs.

Send us a textPeaches is flying solo and absolutely torching weak leadership in this unfiltered rant from the Ones Ready team room. The story? A Monster Mash at Little Rock AFB was shut down at the last second—after 50 candidates paid their own way—because someone got scared of “bad optics” during a government shutdown. Spoiler: nobody died, but the leadership's spine sure did.Peaches tears into risk-averse commanders, lazy optics-warriors, and anyone who hides behind policy instead of taking ownership. Then he spotlights one real-deal hero: Col. Echard, the 19th Airlift Wing Commander who told everyone to “keep pressing” and owned the risk like a leader should.If you've ever wondered why morale tanks or why recruiting struggles, this episode spells it out in flaming detail.
