The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour 3 (7.31) We're hiding the vape today — and asking the question nobody wants to answer: do you actually know what's in it? Nobody does. Then we get into the rise of the cig-influencer, and whether cigarettes are somehow making a comeback in 2026. We revisit Yul Brynner's haunting anti-smoking PSA for the American Cancer Society, recorded from interview footage, where he delivered the line people still can't shake: "Now that I'm gone, I tell you: don't smoke." Plus the Debbie Austin commercials and your smoking stories. Then, a new term for a very real feeling: doom-jobbing. Part doomscrolling, part job search — compulsively refreshing job boards and panic-applying to random roles because the market has everybody rattled. We also get into Foosh's interview with iHeart, and why Tim Conway comedy is truly a generational thing. Heading to the water this weekend? Pay attention. We break down coastline conditions with high tide and a rip current warning in play. And finally — California minimum wage is going up next year. Which begs the obvious question we're throwing to you: when YOU started working, how much were you making? The answers are going to hurt. Apple is offering to lease an Apple device.

Jacob Ward from The Rip Current joins the show this week! Looking into the fallout from an OpenAI model breaching Hugging Face. Winamp returns with a Deezer-powered streaming relaunch. Breaking down the math behind Apple's new leasing program. And shared Claude chats are turning up in Google search results. Last week, an OpenAI Model autonomously hacked into Hugging Face while performing a cybersecurity task. Jacob breaks down the fallout from the incident and how it is fueling questions about whether AI labs have crossed into "critical risk" territory. Winamp is getting a new lease on life through a partnership with Deezer, bringing a Winamp-branded music subscription alongside local files, internet radio, and podcasts, set to launch in the first half of 2027. D. Griffin Jones joins to explain how Apple Upgrade replaces the iPhone Upgrade Program and expands leasing, via Klarna, across iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, and Mac. And a report from 404 Media's Joseph Cox looks into publicly published Claude conversations and artifacts being indexed by Google, exposing sensitive material like crypto wallet keys and personal data, and why understanding what "public" really means before sharing matters.

أطلقت الهيئة العامة للأرصاد الجوية في مصر تحذيرًا عاجلًا للمصطافين على مختلف الشواطئ من خطر "تيار السحب" (Rip Current)، الذي وصفته ب"القاتل المجهول"، مؤكدة أنه من أبرز أسباب الغرق نتيجة عدم إدراك كثيرين لطبيعته وكيفية التصرف عند التعرض له. وأوضحت الهيئة، في بيان، أن تيار السحب عبارة عن تيار مائي قوي يتجه من الشاطئ نحو عمق البحر بسرعة تتراوح بين 0.5 و2.5 متر في الثانية، وهي سرعة تفوق قدرة حتى السباحين المحترفين على مقاومته. وأكدت أن هذه التيارات لا ترتبط بسوء الأحوال الجوية، بل قد تتشكل أيضًا في الأيام المشمسة والهادئة على الشواطئ التي تشهد أمواجًا متكسرة.الضيوف: من القاهرة، د. تحسين شعلة خبير المناخ،من القاهرة، د. حازم الروبي، الأستاذ المساعد بكلية علوم الرياضة بجامعة حلوان.إعداد وتقديم: صبري سراج 

Manatee County lifeguards saw an unusual amount of rip current activity last week at the beaches they guard along the Gulf Coast. Around 125 between July 17th through 19th. They made a lot of rescues and worked to head off more trouble. We speak with Captain Marshall Greene with the Manatee County Beach Patrol about conditions since then, and how to stay safe in the water. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What happens when the systems designed to make life easier quietly begin shaping how we think, decide, and choose? In this episode of the Tech Talks Daily Podcast, I sit down with Jacob Ward, a journalist who has spent more than two decades examining the unseen effects of technology on human behavior. From reporting roles at NBC News, Al Jazeera, CNN, and PBS, to hosting his own podcast The Rip Current, Jacob has built a career around asking uncomfortable questions about power, persuasion, and the psychology sitting beneath our screens. Our conversation centers on his book The Loop: How A.I Is Creating a World Without Choices and How to Fight Back, written before ChatGPT entered everyday life. Jacob explains why his core concern was never about smarter machines alone, but about what happens when AI systems learn us too well. Drawing on behavioral science, newsroom experience, and recent academic research, he argues that AI can narrow our sense of possibility while convincing us we are gaining freedom. The result is a subtle tension between convenience and control that many listeners will recognize in their own digital lives. We also explore the idea of AI companies behaving like nation states, accumulating talent, influence, and authority without the checks that usually accompany that kind of power. Jacob reflects on the speed of AI deployment, the belief systems driving its biggest champions, and why individual self control is unlikely to be enough. Instead, he makes the case for systemic responses, cultural guardrails, and a renewed focus on protecting human skills that cannot be automated away. There is room for optimism here too. We talk about where AI genuinely helps, from medicine to scientific discovery, and how leaders can hold hope and skepticism at the same time without slipping into hype or fear. From preserving entry level work as a form of apprenticeship to resisting the urge to outsource thinking itself, this episode offers a thoughtful look at what staying human might mean in an age of intelligent machines. Jacob has also appeared on shows like The Joe Rogan Experience, This Week in Tech, and The Don Lemon Show, but this conversation strips things back to fundamentals. How much choice do we really have, and what are we willing to give up for frictionless answers? If AI is quietly closing the loop around our decisions, what does fighting back actually look like for you, and where do you think that line between help and influence should be drawn?
