Welcome to another episode of Death Don't Do Fiction, the AIPT Movies podcast! The podcast about the enduring legacy of our favorite movies! This February we're kicking off our “Fast February” series, where we cover the movies that made Vin Diesel a star and taught the world to live their lives one quarter mile at a time, The Fast & Furious franchise! In this week's episode, Alex, Tim, and returning guest Bill Mueller discuss the one that started it all, 2001's The Fast and the Furious!Limp Bizkit! Ja Rule! Cheesy lines! Chunky boots that would make Guy Fieri jealous! A fittingly quick and entertaining pace! Recognizable Los Angeles locations! Questionable car talk! Exciting new home video technology! Legally purchased DVD players! Overheated manifolds! Reckless contempt for carpooling! Shockingly organized crowds of young, illegal street racers! A guy playing guitar at a party! Product placement for Pizza Hut, Corona, and most-notably, the nitrous oxide brand NOS! A great high-speed heist to open the movie and plenty of (mostly) real stunts and action! Occasional surreal, anime-influenced racing scenes years before the Speed Racer movie came out! A versatile cast of young actors on the verge of stardom, including Vin Diesel with a rare shred of humility, Paul Walker, Jordana Brewster, Michelle Rodriguez laying the foundation for one of cinema's most iconic female action heroes, and Matt Schulze making the most of his very punchable face! A 2001 time capsule which may have borrowed heavily from Point Break, but still has great chemistry between the two leads with some impressive world building and story mechanics, and would surprisingly go on to become one of the biggest and most influential action franchises in movie history!In addition, Alex shares his spoiler-free thoughts on Spring Breakers, The Beekeeper, Lucio Fulci's dance-themed giallo Murder Rock, and Sam Raimi's return to horror, Send Help!You can find Death Don't Do Fiction on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Bob Perkins has done things most people only read about — fighter pilot instructor, political fundraiser, the ad agency behind Apple's 1984 Super Bowl commercial, CMO at Calvin Klein, executive at Playboy, head of marketing at Pizza Hut, and turnaround CEO. He's sat on boards, built ventures inside the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and now spends his time thinking and writing about how AI is fundamentally reshaping competition.We got into all of it. From the real story behind the most famous Super Bowl ad ever made (and the worst one, made by the same people the very next year) to why marketing as a discipline is being consumed by AI, to a fighter pilot decision-making framework that most companies are too slow to execute. We also talked about what actually drives organizational change, why group dynamics override expertise, and what Bob would tell his 40-year-old self if he could go back.This one went deep. If you run a business or lead a team, there's a lot here.What you'll learn in this episode:Why marketing is becoming unrecognizable — and what's replacing itThe real story behind Apple's 1984 ad and how it almost never airedThe Boyd Loop (OODA) — how fighter pilots make decisions at 500 mph and why it matters for your businessWhy competitive advantage is shifting from planning to execution speedHow AI changes the feedback loop — and why that's the real unlock for sales teamsWhat stops organizations from acting on decisions they've already madeWhy the power of the group is the most underrated force in business — and how it quietly kills changeBob's advice to his 40-year-old self (and the one skill he wishes he'd developed more)Books referenced in this episode:Sapiens by Yuval Noah HarariThe Geek Way by Andrew McAfeeThe Innovator's Dilemma by Clayton ChristensenOn the Edge: The Art of Risking Everything by Nate SilverThe Infinite Game by Simon Sinek//Welcome to The Ray J.

Do This, NOT That: Marketing Tips with Jay Schwedelson l Presented By Marigold

Jay Schwedelson explains why "preseason marketing" is surging and shares a clever "first 100" registration tactic that leverages FOMO to drive immediate action. You also get the lowdown on a new Reddit ad unit that drives leads for cheap and a heated debate about which pizza chain actually tastes like pizza.ㅤBest Moments:(00:36) Why preseason marketing is becoming the dominant trend for 2026(01:40) How major brands like Salesforce are selling events a year in advance(02:52) The specific "first 100" phrasing that increases webinar signups by 20%(04:09) Using the concept of control to get people to register early(05:15) Reddit's new Reminder Ads that let you test traffic for cheap(05:56) Pizza Hut closing 250 stores and the debate over chain pizza quality(07:58) Why the new reality show about neighbor feuds is peak televisionㅤCheck out Jay's YOUTUBE Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@schwedelsonCheck out Jay's TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@schwedelsonCheck Out Jay's INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/jayschwedelson/ㅤPre-order Jay Schwedelson's new book, Stupider People Have Done It (out April 21, 2026).

Conway takes a hard look back at the 1992 L.A. Riots (April 29–May 3) — the death toll, the arrests, and how massive it really was. With the anniversary coming up. Plus, rain is on the way to Southern California. A fun Super Bowl tie-in: Seahawks QB Sam Darnold’s Orange County roots — and the wild family connection that his grandpa was allegedly one of the iconic “Marlboro Men,” along with why that top-ranked Budweiser commercial is getting so much buzz. Then things take a strange turn online with a viral (and confusing) death-certificate story making the rounds involving comedian/actress Catherine O’Hara — and more chatter about Pizza Hut possibly closing hundreds of locations.

On this week's Extra Serving, NRN editor in chief Sam Oches and executive editor Alicia Kelso discuss the latest restaurant industry news, including Chipotle's negative sales year, Taco Bell's ongoing dominance, and the incredible growth in snacks. First up is Chipotle, which last week reported that its same-store sales declined 1.7% in 2025. CEO Scott Boatwright introduced a “Recipe for Growth” plan that has five steps to get the brand back in black, but the company also issued guidance for the year that shows it expects sales to be flat. Sam and Alicia discuss the unsurprising results and whether they think Chipotle's plan for growth — which includes increased usage of limited-time offers and demonstrating the brand's value proposition — will help reverse its fortunes. Next up is Yum Brands, which had mostly good results: Taco Bell continues to dominate in the QSR category, with its same-store sales up 7% in the latest quarter and evidence that it's taking market share from just about every other corner of the restaurant industry. Meanwhile, KFC enjoyed 1% growth — signs, perhaps, that its turnaround plan is working. Sam and Alicia discuss those positive results, but also dig into the myriad issues over at Pizza Hut, which saw sales decline last year and plans to close 250 units in the first half of this year. Finally, the editors turn their attention to snacks, which are enjoying a renaissance across the restaurant space and could drive continued disruption at brands big and small.For more on these stories:Chipotle unveils plan to ‘accelerate growth' after another negative quarterTaco Bell is taking market share from just about everywherePizza Hut is closing 250 U.S. locations in the first half of 2026

Chipotle's same-store sales continue to dip. For Yum Brands, Taco Bell soared while Pizza Hut keeps struggling. And Cracker Barrel is making headlines again.
Here it comes…the weekend. We've got some warmer temps ahead, the Super Bowl on Sunday, and I've got some fresh seafood getting delivered from Maine tomorrow! Obviously, I had a lot of Super Bowl stuff this morning…including some of the more interesting prop bets that are available, and a chat with Grant Bilse of the Wisco Sports Show who is in California all this week for the coverage of the big game on Sunday. Also talked to Office Cora just after 8am this morning to see what she's up to this weekend in the 715. And even though Jean's out today, Cora & I asked each other hypothetical questions. Mine was: "Would you rather get unlimited free tickets to any shows you want to go to for an entire year, or tour the world for one year with your favorite band?" Cora's was: "What sport would you want to play in the Olympics?" In the news this morning, the latest on Savannah Guthrie's missing mother, a recall on honey, Pizza Hut is closing hundreds of it's locations, and a 150 year-old bottle of booze was recently unearthed. In sports, the Bucks won their 2nd in a row last night against the Pelicans, the Badger men's basketball team plays this Saturday against Indiana, the results of yesterday's NASCAR race at Bowman-Gray stadium, and a Lions fan is suing DK Metcalf for defamation. Talked about what's on TV today/tonight and I also discussed a possible NEW documentary about Joe Exotic. Cool story about a guy who was remodeling his house & found something interesting under the floors. Plus, a couple of recent college grads have designed a special hat to protect the ears & hearing of premature babies. Elsewhere in sports, the Olympic hockey rink STILL isn't finished, and the Olympic ski-jumpers will now have microchips in their suits to help curb cheating. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", I had stories about a former Little Caesar's employee who broke into his former place of employment to make some pizzas, a woman who got trapped in a malfunctioning car wash, a mom who "needed a night out" and left her 3 year-old home alone, a horrific scene at an Olive Garden in Pennsylvania, and a condo place that's testing dog shit for DNA to try & identify who isn't picking up their dog waste.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From Astro Boy to Gundam to real-world robots like ASIMO and Pepper, Japan's fascination with robots runs deep. This week, the Krewe is joined by author, cultural commentator, & robot enthusiast Matt Alt to explore how robots became heroes instead of threats in Japanese pop culture and how those sci-fi dreams quietly shaped Japan's modern relationship with technology, AI, and everyday automation.

The unsolved crime would largely impact the city's reputation for having the lowest crime rate of all of Texas's great cities…so it was time to solve the murder of Nancy DePriest, let's see how they did it.Instagram: TruecrimecouplePatreon.com/truecrimecouple | Join for ad free episodes and two bonus episodes a month!Sponsors:True Crime Society PodcastSources:https://exonerationregistry.org/cases/10386https://law.justia.com/cases/texas/third-court-of-appeals/1991/4881.htmlhttps://www.newspapers.com/image/649638052/?match=1&terms=nancy%20depriesthttps://www.newspapers.com/image/364054228/?match=1&terms=nancy%20depriesthttps://www.newspapers.com/image/363966719/?match=1&terms=nancy%20depriesthttps://www.facebook.com/groups/742034912983989/posts/2019627575224710/https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/hector-polanco-andre-causey-false-confessions/https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/burden/innocents/danziger.htmlhttps://www.themarshallproject.org/2017/03/09/facing-her-daughter-s-killer-at-lasthttps://www.justice.gov/archives/dag/file/877741/dl?inline=#:~:text=Forensic%20hair%20examiners%20generally%20recognize,Forensic%20Examination%20ofhttps://nij.ojp.gov/nij-hosted-online-training-courses/crime-scene-and-dna-basics-forensic-analysts/history-and-types-forensic-dna-testing/polymerase-chain-reaction-pcr/dq-alphahttps://www.kvue.com/article/news/crime/true-crime/austin-police-hector-polanco-yogurt-shop-murders/269-160c495f-9212-420c-ad47-edf02bea3d5ahttps://law.wisc.edu/fjr/clinicals/ip/https://innocenceproject.org/about/#:~:text=We've%20helped%20free%20more,and%20advance%20the%20innocence%20movement.https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2006-jun-21-me-confess21-story.htmlhttps://www.findagrave.com/memorial/261908704/richard_edward-danziger
Italian Dumplings and Chinese Pizzas: Transcultural Food Mobilities (Fordham UP, 2025) by Dr. Gaoheng Zhang designs a novel analytical framework to approach transcultural food mobilities, a culinary phenomenon that has been with us for decades as a result of colonialism and globalization.Why is it surprising for some of us to read the pairing of “Chinese” with “pizzas” and “Italian” with “dumplings,” such as proposed in the book's title? After all, in some regions of the two countries, Italians eat frequently dumplings, and Chinese frequently make baked, steamed, or fried flatbread with toppings or fillings. Furthermore, when dumplings are made in Italy by Chinese migrants or Chinese Italians, or when pizzas are made in China by Italian migrants, Chinese Italians, or Chinese without apparent ties with Italy, are these culinary products Chinese, Italian, Chinese-Italian, or something else? Why do we need to care for such labeling dilemmas?This book shows how China-Italy food mobilities relayed in popular culture helped forge Chinese and Italians' socioeconomic identities in recent decades by fundamentally shaping contemporary Chinese and Italian consumer cultures. This book addresses China-Italy food cultures against the backdrops of two epoch-making socioeconomic processes. During the 1980s, Chinese cuisine became the first non-European food widely available in Italy, thanks to the widespread presence of Chinese eateries. Only American fast food, which established itself in Italy around the same time, enjoyed comparable popularity as a destination for Italian culinary tourism. Meanwhile, in the early 1990s, together with American hamburgers and fried chicken, the American food chain Pizza Hut's pizzas and spaghetti were the first non-Asian foods that post-Mao Chinese customers recognized as “Western.” The book proposes a critical framework that analyzes transcultural food mobilities by seriously assessing the confluence of diverse mobilities and their impact on food cultures. Ultimately, the study shows that a sophisticated interpretation of transcultural food mobilities can help address alterity and build understanding in a world of increasing political and cultural polarization. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

The firms winning with AI aren't the ones implementing every tool they can find. They're the ones being strategic about what actually moves the needle.Rachel Ferris learned this firsthand when she built TaxStack AI, not because she wanted to start a software company, but because she needed a solution that didn't exist. As a tax advisor specializing in Puerto Rico's Act 60, she was spending hours researching complex state-specific cases. ChatGPT seemed like the answer, until it started citing Reddit and Quora as sources. When she'd call it out, it would cheerfully admit, "You're right, that's actually not correct." That's when she realized: if she wanted AI that actually worked for tax research, she'd have to build it herself.In this episode, Rachel shares how she created a platform that sources directly from actual tax code, IRS forms, and treasury regulations, so you get accurate answers with citations you can trust. But more importantly, she breaks down the difference between firms that will thrive with AI and firms that will struggle: it's not about adopting everything, it's about adopting responsibly.The conversation covers:Why ChatGPT's fact-check problem makes it dangerous for tax research (and how to fix it by sourcing your own database)The cautionary tale of firms that went all-in on AI integration in 2024, only to abandon everything six months later Why now is the time to pause and evaluate rather than frantically adopt every AI tool that hits the marketHow AI should free you up for higher-value advisory work with existing clients, not just help you take on more volumeEd Kless's "transformation economy" concept: moving from providing transactions to providing transformationsThe three-pillar approach to attracting and retaining young talent: technology + mentorship + entrepreneurship mindsetWhy mandatory mentorship programs fail (and what actually works instead)How being genuinely curious about people has opened more doors than any technical skill Rachel has learnedRachel also breaks down why firms that use AI responsibly will win, while firms that use it to cut personality and human connection will lose clients. She explains why young people crave personal connection more than you think, why entrepreneurial-minded accountants connect better with business owner clients, and how spending three hours talking to a Pizza Hut franchise owner taught her more about business than any textbook.Download Now: https://poegroupadvisors.com/accounting-practice-academy/increase-letter/Price increases are nothing to fear.
