Welcome back to FUT in Review #740! Today, Grandpapa Mac (Chris) and John Kirkham (John K) take over the studio to break down the summer FUTTIES grind, honor the passing of legendary Italian defender AC Milan icon Franco Baresi, and run an extensive, lawyer-reviewed cost-benefit analysis on the newly announced EA Sports FC 27 Pre-Order editions.We break down the financial value and gameplay content unfiltered:FIFA's Shelved Equity Deal: Football fans won! FIFA's controversial plan to sell off a commercial stake in the World Cup to private equity investors has officially been shelved following universal backlash. The panel breaks down the widening rift between UEFA and FIFA, asking if European football might eventually break off into its own standalone body.The Pink Card Grind: With summer in full swing and Season 8 XP flowing freely, the hosts debate whether anyone on Earth has actually packed the exact 99-rated FUTTIES card they wanted. From grinding the Frenkie de Jong SBC to evolutions of silver icons like Roberto Baggio and Ruud Gullit, we discuss why late-cycle Ultimate Team should be about fun, nostalgia, and past-and-present squad builds.Tribute to Franco Baresi: The crew pauses to pay tribute to the late, great Franco Baresi. We reminisce about Channel 4's iconic Golaccio 1990s Italian football broadcasts and discuss how EA's Icon cards help younger generations appreciate the legendary defenders who defined an era of lower-scoring, tactical Serie A perfection.EA Sports FC 27 Pre-Order Breakdown: We crunch the numbers across the three announced editions: Standard, Ultimate, and the limited-time Ultimate Plus (available until October 31st). Evaluating cash-equivalent values for 7-day early access (launching September 18), FC Points, Season Passes (Seasons 1–5), and exclusive Evolution slots, we help casuals, core players, and hard-core grinders decide which edition delivers the highest return on investment.⏱️ MID-SHOW HYDRATION BREAK
The first Victory Monday of August belongs to the Ballfrogs! Andy, Noah Kahan, and Niall Horan are all celebrating today after Boston Common star Michael Thorbjornsen won the Rocket Classic for his first PGA Tour win. Brendan and Andy discuss the final event at Detroit Golf Club, which looked great on television following a renovation... just in time for the event to no longer exist! They take a look at the FedEx Cup standings heading into the final week of the regular season and try to put a stop to the "new era of American golf" talking points circulating after back-to-back wins by young stars. The two recap the final major of 2026, the AIG Women's Open at Royal Lytham & St Annes. Shiho Kuwaki took down Esther Henseleit in a playoff. After another major win by a Japanese player, Andy wonders why the LPGA does not spend more time or even move one of the five majors to Japan in order to capitalize on the country's growing dominance within the sport. PJ chimes in with a brief Champions Tour Minute to discuss Zatch's win at Ernie's Place before Andy recaps the weekend at the Western Am, including another stint on the bag for match play. In news, the Arnold Palmer Invitational has announced that it will be a Championship Series event in 2028, making Andy and Brendan wonder why the Tour is rolling out these announcements one by one on each different business day. Which event will be tapped for Championship status next? We'll have to wait and see! Preorders for Fried Egg Golf Volume 2 are open now through September 4th, to begin shipping October 7th.

In this episode of the AppleVis Extra podcast, David Nason is joined by Quinton Williams, the developer of VAL: Voice, Alarm & Chimes. Quintin shares the story behind creating the app, how a personal interest in accessible talking clocks inspired the project, and how an idea that began as a simple experiment quickly evolved into a feature-rich app for iPhone and Mac.The conversation explores Quintin's unconventional path into software development. Rather than following a traditional programming background, Quinton discusses how he is using modern AI tools alongside Swift development to learn by building real-world projects. He talks candidly about the benefits and challenges of AI-assisted development, emphasizing the importance of understanding the code rather than relying on AI-generated solutions without learning from them.Listeners will also hear about the design philosophy behind VAL, including its extensive customization options, support for Apple's new AlarmKit framework, compatibility with Steve's Talking Clock, and plans for an online library where users will be able to share custom clocks and sound packs. Quintin also discusses the realities of independent app development, including beta testing, accessibility, App Store approval, automation tools like Fastlane, and balancing development across multiple Apple platforms.Whether you're interested in accessibility, app development, or simply enjoy hearing how members of the AppleVis community are creating innovative software, this episode offers an engaging look behind the scenes of an ambitious accessibility-focused project. Be sure to listen to the full conversation to hear Quintin's experiences, future plans for VAL, and his insights into building apps with today's development tools.Resources & LinksAppleVis – Announcing AnonyMouse's App Pick of the Month for May 2026: VAL: Voice, Alarm & Chimeshttps://applevis.com/blog/announcing-anonymouses-app-pick-month-may-2026-val-voice-alarm-chimesDownload VAL: Voice, Alarm & Chimes on the App Storehttps://apps.apple.com/us/app/val-voice-alarm-chimes/id6760596283Join the Conversation: Preorders for my clock app are live!For the latest updates, beta testing opportunities, and community discussion about VAL, be sure to visit the AppleVis pages linked above.Thanks for listening to the AppleVis Extra podcast.TranscriptDisclaimer: This transcript was generated by AI Note Taker – VoicePen, an AI-powered transcription app. It is not edited or formatted, and it may not accurately capture the speakers' names, voices, or content.David: Hi there, and welcome to the AppleViz Extra podcast.

GTA 6 pulled an estimated $260M in its first week of pre-orders — and the real story is that its launch has quietly become a proxy for every gaming company's valuation. If it opens well, the industry holds. If it doesn't, the bottom could fall out — and mobile goes with it.Felix Braberg flies solo for the news segment, with three stories that matter. GTA 6 pre-orders hit roughly $260M globally in the last week of June (Newzoo forecasts $3.3-5.2B by launch week in November, ~51M units), and Felix explains why the whole industry is watching it as a valuation bellwether. Tencent is rumored to be in talks to buy Playtika's Superplay for $1-1.5B — a fascinating story of an earnout gone right for the founders and wrong for the parent: Playtika bought Superplay for $690M in late 2024 with a performance earnout, Superplay is smashing every target (Disney Solitaire alone is ~$5M/week, ~$300M/year), and the ballooning earnout liability (now ~$829M) plus a $2.3B debt wall in 2028-2029 is forcing Playtika to consider selling its crown jewel. And PubMatic signed an OpenWrap deal with Zynga, bringing transparent, fixed-margin ad buying to Zynga's inventory — the same play as Amazon TAM and Bid Machine.The through-line: the money is moving, and the balance sheets are calling the shots.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 GTA 6 pre-orders hit $260M in week one02:30 Why GTA 6 is now a proxy for all gaming valuations04:00 Tencent in talks to buy Superplay for up to $1.5B06:30 The earnout trap — how Superplay's success became a burden09:00 Playtika's $2.3B debt wall and the forced-sale logic10:30 PubMatic x Zynga and the OpenWrap transparency play12:30 Top charts — Block Out and Meow Doku dominate downloads---------------------------------------This is no BS gaming podcast 2.5 gamers session.

Philippa sits down with the brilliant Adele Parks — bestselling author of 25 novels, over six million copies sold, OBE for services to literature — to talk about her latest book Eyes on You, the pressure of reader expectations, and a biscuit revelation that may change your tea break forever.
Dr. Beckett and Darin Ostrom discuss how to get Darin's deeply researched history of 1990s sports cards published when his YouTube viewership is limited and traditional publishers want authors with large followings. They explore obstacles like fragmented digital audiences, declining print publishing, lack of wholesale distribution, and the need for a clear “hook” that drives virality beyond an educational or nostalgia angle. Possible paths include self-publishing via Amazon with shorter serialized volumes, pre-ordering through card shops to reduce risk, and partnerships or sponsorships with companies like Collectors/Beckett Media, PSA/SMR, or Fanatics by fitting content into existing magazines as multi-part articles. They also note competition from free content and AI, and suggest stronger concepts like registries or “100 iconic '90s cards” lists to motivate buyers. 00:27 YouTube Chapters to Book 01:36 Why Publishers Pass 03:53 Self Publishing Lessons 05:26 Digital Serialization Strategy 06:57 Preorders and Card Shop Marketing 09:32 Sponsors and Magazine Serialization 14:02 Competing With Free and AI 16:12 Finding the Viral Hook 19:05 Reframing for Collectors 20:14 Audience Spectrum and Examples

In this episode of the Recovery Matters Podcast, Stacy speaks with Stephanie Hazard, recovery coach, author, and person in long-term recovery, about her upcoming book Making Sobriety Stick. Stephanie shares how recovery coaching became a powerful part of her own journey, why this non-clinical support role can be a missing piece for so many people, and how recovery support can help individuals and families navigate life beyond treatment. The conversation also explores sober curiosity, eating disorder recovery, recovery capital, family support, and why asking for help can sometimes begin with something as simple as opening a book. Stephanie's book, Making Sobriety Stick, is available for pre-order now, and part of the proceeds from pre-orders will support CCAR's recovery support services.

Halo is on PlayStation. Let that sink in. On this one we get into Halo: Campaign Evolved — the full Unreal Engine 5 remake landing on PS5, Xbox and PC on July 28 — and why cutting the multiplayer to protect the "next mainline Halo" might be the dumbest part of the whole thing. Plus the AI controversy Halo Studios can't stop being squirrely about. Then it's GTA 6: pre-orders go live June 25, November 19 release, no PC version, and the $100 price question nobody wants to answer honestly. Spoiler: if you'll pay $70, you'll pay $100, and we explain exactly why. But the one we're actually hyped about is WARDOGS — Bulkhead addressed the "too arcadey" killcam feedback head-on instead of going quiet like every AAA studio does. We break down the ghillie-suit compromise, the hardcore servers, and why devs who actually play their own game are so rare right now. Lightning round: CoD 2026 bringing DMZ back as the third mode, Black Ops 1 & 2 hitting PlayStation, and where the extraction-shooter graveyard leaves Marathon. Jake's optimistic. Raz sees the greed trap coming. Same as always. 0:00 Intro — back in the saddle 1:31 It's all about shooters 2:27 WARDOGS & the killcam controversy 7:07 Can't have it both ways: the killcam debate 7:49 The ghillie suit & hardcore server compromise 15:56 Devs who actually play their own game 19:59 The greed trap: how good shooters get ruined 29:50 Halo: Campaign Evolved comes to PlayStation 30:54 Cutting multiplayer to protect the next Halo 33:23 Are you a Halo or a Call of Duty guy? 45:52 The Halo AI controversy 1:05:09 GTA 6 pre-orders are live 1:05:40 No PC version — the PC wait 1:10:35 The $100 question & CEO spin 1:13:31 If you'll pay $70, you'll pay $100 1:15:56 Lightning round: CoD 2026 & DMZ returns 1:17:12 Black Ops 1 & 2 hit PlayStation 1:23:40 Marathon & the extraction graveyard 1:28:30 Patreon, wrap-up & goodbye _Note: timestamps may be slightly misaligned on podcast apps (but not on YouTube) due to dynamic ads._ The podcast is available wherever you listen to podcasts, and ad-free & early access versions - as well as bonus episodes - are available to all of our Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/thedropshot) supporters.
