Aria asks whether all frontier AI companies should follow suit. Reid and Aria discuss how educators can navigate the “messy middle” of AI in the classroom. They also dig into the future of assessment, what students (and job seekers) should be learning now to prepare for an AI future, and whether AI-intensive fields are worth the bet.

After years of relentless touring, financial hardship, lineup changes, and violence, Hermosa Beach hardcore pioneers Black Flag finally unleashed their debut full-length Damaged in 1981.With 20-year-old newcomer Henry Rollins entering the fold, the band delivered genre-defining anthems like “Rise Above” and “Police Story” while also pushing boundaries on the raw, experimental “Damaged I & II.”Conflicts over the album's distribution sparked a lawsuit from the label, ultimately delaying the release of their equally influential (and polarizing) follow-up. Nevertheless, Damaged stands as the product of Black Flag's blood, sweat, and defiance, and remains a towering pillar in punk history!Recommendations:Salome - SalomeSalome - TerminalThou / Salome - Our Enemy CivilizationThanya Iyer - TIDE/TIEDMachine Head - The More Things Change...Propagandhi - At PeaceFor all updates on Riff Worship follow us on Instagram and TwitterWatch Riff Worship on YouTubeWatch Review's from the Dylbozer's DinCheck out our official playlists:Riffs on Repeat (Spotify)Hits from the Crypt (Apple)

John Jamingo, Deuce, and Joe reunite for a wide-ranging, offbeat conversation brimming with personal stories, hot takes, and unscripted laughs. The episode opens with a humorous tribute to comedian Ruth Buzzi and a discussion of classic TV nostalgia, including reflections on the cast of “Gilligan's Island.” The hosts swap tales about their love–or lack thereof–for cats and dogs, segueing into the quirks of pet ownership and the personalities of different animals.Podcast production and technical mishaps get plenty of airtime, with John recounting behind-the-scenes challenges and bantering with Deuce about control freak tendencies and the chaos of remote recording setups. The trio delves into wild road rage stories, famously spotlighting a viral incident involving a woman defecating on a car during a Delaware County traffic altercation.They pivot to talking about age-gap relationships, the dynamics of dating as older men, and the absurdities of gold-digging rumors. The hosts also debate cooking preferences—from ketchup on tacos to pineapple on pizza—and share regional food opinions. Riffs on generational divides, woke culture, energy policy, and nostalgia for classic cartoons round out the episode, punctuated by playful jabs and self-deprecating humor.Episode's topics:The “death” and legacy of comedian Ruth Buzzi; hoaxes and classic TV references Reminiscing about “Gilligan's Island,” Alan Hale Jr., and 1970s-80s television Discussion of pet ownership—cats vs. dogs, poodle stories, and animal personalities Podcast production mishaps: recording technology frustrations, remote setups, and microphone placement Behind-the-scenes podcast editing, co-hosts' quirks, and “control freak” tendencies Viral Delco road rage incident: a woman defecating on another woman's car Obituaries and the (dark) humor in how death is announced Age, dating, and relationships: age gap couples, gold diggers, and personal dating “boundaries” Debates over food traditions: ketchup on tacos, pineapple on pizza, mayo and ketchup on cheesesteaks Fast food memories: Taco Bell, Burger King, Jack in the Box tacos Musings on wokeness, cancel culture, generational differences, and social media Electric cars, energy policy, and the politics of “going green” Prescription drug frustrations, bureaucracy, and healthcare gripes Reflections on classic cartoons: “Popeye,” “The Flintstones,” “Jane Jetson,” and “South Park” Podcast community shout-outs and changing trends in indie podcasting Lighthearted banter, sound board gags, and recurring in-jokes among the hostsSocial Media Links:Website: https://www.podpage.com/the-brand-x-podcast/ Twitter: https://x.com/brandxpod Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-7690921Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brandxpodcast Everybody Wang Chung Video (Check Out The Bass Player) https://youtu.be/BoXu6QmxpJE?si=KxkovZNRZq7QyaaaSouth Park Soulless Gingers: https://youtu.be/-nA54LxibLI?si=xzZru_FD_HHjRAiy
Between 1989 and 2004, the self-dubbed “hatecore” madmen DAMAGED erupted from the rural town of Ballarat and onto the Australian metal scene, fusing unhinged aggression with the most extreme elements of of black metal, grindcore, and death metal.With releases like Do Not Spit, Token Remedies Research, and the EP Passive Backseat Demon Engines, DAMAGED unleashed a feral energy that cemented their status as Australia's premier live metal act of the '90s. At a time when international bands rarely travelled to Oz's shores, the band shared the stage with heavyweights like Cannibal Corpse, Morbid Angel, Sepultura, Cradle of Filth, Fear Factory, and many more.After a decade incensed with internal turmoil, DAMAGED entered the studio in 2000 alongside Brutal Truth frontman Kevin Sharp to record what would become their final album, Purified in Pain.25 years on, Purified in Pain remains a divisive swan song from a localized, but legendary legacy. This week we are joined by founding member Matt “Skitz” Sanders to unpack the album's story and honor the undefinable chaos, magic, and chemistry it captured.Recommendations:Heaven's Gate - Tales From a Blistering ParadiseFull of Hell - Broken Sword, Rotten ShieldConan - Violence DimensionANGELL - Veiled by WoeSequestrum / Sněť - SplitSoils of Fate - Crime SyndicateFollow Matt "Skitz" SandersInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/blastabyss/Follow Atræ BilisFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/atraebilis/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/atraebilis/Follow Fulci RotsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fulcirots/Website: https://fulcirots.bigcartel.com/For all updates on Riff Worship follow us on Instagram and TwitterWatch Riff Worship on YouTubeWatch Review's from the Dylbozer's DinCheck out our official playlists:Riffs on Repeat (Spotify)Hits from the Crypt (Apple)

NOTHIN' COMES EASY: The Life of Rodney Dangerfield (April 29, 2025) is the first biography of the "bug-eyed, sweaty, herky-jerky, tie-pulling comedian with the doleful countenance." Dangerfield's indelible beat-down image was played for laughs, but there were sad truths behind his sad-sack persona. TV writer Michael Seth Starr has crafted an immensely entertaining bio of the comedian's slog up the show business ladder. Ten years as a C-level stand-up comedian, he quit the business to sell aluminum siding and paint to keep the lights on. Then he went back to the clubs under an entirely new name, from Jack Roy to Rodney Dangerfield. A career-changing appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show at the ripe age of forty-five would be the lucky break, opening doors to television, movies, and comic fame at last. His catch phrase, "I don't get no respect," underscored his circuitous rise to the top after years of setbacks and grit. "What stood out for me, in authoring this book," writes Starr, '"was Dangerfield's perseverance in the face of such overwhelming odds. I was impressed at how he launched a second comedy career as a man already in his forties and out of the game for a decade. He never abandoned his undeniable urge to get back in the game and to share his seemingly unending reservoir of magical one-liners." At the beginning of his comeback, he began writing jokes for comedians like Jackie Mason and Joey Bishop, in the days before the "no respect" persona was solidified. He worked agentless, making his own deals. And it took him a solid five years to clinch his now celebrated debut on The Ed Sullivan Show. It took another few years of hustling on the circuit before he landed on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show, which opened a wealth of doors in Hollywood. Dangerfield's comedy style - a self-mocking angst, the comedy of the perpetual loser - was endearing and universal. He was the schlubby Everyman snubbed by life, finally making it big. Soon Dangerfield would be leaving his mark in films, most famously in Caddyshack and Back to School. He was rebuffed in later years by The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences - which refused him membership. But Dangerfield had already cemented his place in comedy history as a writer and performer. When he died in 2004, his death made international headlines. Among his pallbearers were George Carlin, Roseanne Barr, Chris Rock, Larry David, Andrew Dice Clay, Jon Lovitz, and Carl Reiner. The book closes with a highly engaging chapter, "Riffs on Rodney," with remembrances of the comic from his peers including Jay Leno, Rita Rudney, Bob Nelson, Robert Wuhl, and Pauly Shore.
