In this episode, host Travis Chappell and his producer Eric kick off 2026 with a tongue‑in‑cheek look at “getting rich” in Grand Theft Auto V versus actually building wealth in real life. Using a viral GTA video that breaks down the “five best businesses to buy” in the game, they unpack why it's so tempting to grind for fake money while feeling stuck financially—and where that logic breaks down if you're unhappy with your real bank account. Along the way, they swap stories about ultra‑strict childhood rules on movies and games, why sleepovers now feel like a hard no as parents, and how leisure fits into a healthy, ambitious life. On this episode we talk about: A GTA V creator teaching “five businesses that will make you rich online” and how his million‑view content is actually an example of turning play into a real income stream. The difference between enjoying games as a hobby versus pouring five hours a day into them while complaining there's “no opportunity” in real life. Childhood stories about not being allowed to watch certain movies or play certain games, calling parents from sleepovers, and the weird logic of which ratings were “okay” and which weren't. How becoming parents has flipped their perspective: less concern about temporary tattoos and game ratings, more concern about letting kids sleep at other people's houses at all. The rise of creators who build channels around nostalgic games, movie tie‑in titles, or walkthroughs—and how that can turn low‑effort fun into a monetized side project. Why modern games and social platforms are engineered to keep you in an endless loop, and how that “vortex” quietly delays people from ever taking real swings at their goals. The nuanced take: you don't have to be “grinding 24/7,” but you also can't expect big financial changes if every spare hour goes to escapism. A brief tangent into IP consolidation (Saudi money, Activision, Bond, DC, Lord of the Rings) and how massive ownership shifts change what shows, games, and stories get made. Top 3 Takeaways Hobbies are fine—until they clash with your goals. Playing GTA or Call of Duty isn't a moral issue; the problem is when you're miserable with your finances yet still spend all your free time in virtual worlds instead of building real skills and income. You either monetize the passion or own the trade‑off. The GTA creator in the clip turned his obsession into a channel with hundreds of thousands of subscribers; if you don't want to do that, that's fine—but then you have to accept slower financial progress without blaming “lack of opportunity.” Most “successful people” aren't gaming all day. High performers might still play, but usually after they've already put in serious work; expecting similar results while investing most of your energy into entertainment is a mismatch in inputs and outcomes. Notable Quotes “If you're spending five hours a day playing video games and also complaining there's no opportunity, you can't be mad at the results you're getting.” “That guy grinding GTA businesses is actually making real money—because he turned his gameplay into content, not just a way to escape his own life.” “Do whatever you want in your downtime, but don't be shocked when the people who spend that same downtime learning and building get very different outcomes.” ✖️✖️✖️✖️

Imagine a building as tall as the Empire State Building, that stretches for more than 100km through the Saudi Arabian desert. Inside are nine million people – with robot maids and a giant fake moon – living in self-sufficient pods where everything they need is a five-minute walk away.It's part of NEOM, a futuristic megacity complex, which the Saudi government has already started building. And if you believe the PR, it'll be a car-free, carbon-free, utopian existence – the most equitable and sustainable society in human history. But will it happen? And what is the financial (and human) cost? For our first ShortHand back in 2026, we're looking at the most ambitious and controversial building project ever: The Line.--Patreon - Ad-free & Bonus EpisodesYouTube - Full-length Video EpisodesTikTok / InstagramSources and more available on redhandedpodcast.com

//The Wire//2300Z December 30, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: SAUDI ARABIA BOMBS EMIRATI WEAPONS SHIPMENT IN YEMEN. RAIL DELAYS SPREAD AROUND EUROPE AFTER INCIDENT IN CHANNEL TUNNEL. CROWBAR ATTACK REPORTED AT BRITISH HOSPITAL.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events-Yemen: Overnight tensions escalated sharply between several nations as the conflict in Yemen threatens to become more serious. Colonel Turki Al-Malki, the Saudi Air Force Colonel that serves as the spokesman for the Saudi mission to Yemen stated that two vessels departed the UAE without permission this morning, and sailed without turning their AIS transponders on before arriving in Yemen. Onboard these vessels were weapons and armored vehicles that the UAE was allegedly trying to smuggle to the Southern Transitional Council (STC), a faction that threatens the Saudi border.As a result, Saudi Arabia conducted a few airstrikes within the Yemeni port of Mukalla, targeting the combat vehicles to be used by the STC. After the strikes, Saudi Arabia also called for the UAE to leave Yemen entirely. A few hours after this morning's scuffle, the UAE announced a cessation of their already-reduced mission in Yemen, and are withdrawing all public support for the STC, per Saudi demands.United Kingdom: This morning an Afghan migrant was arrested for conducting an attack at the Newton-Le-Willows Hospital in Merseyside, a small village halfway between Liverpool and Manchester. The attack began after the man was denied an appointment after entering the lobby with a crowbar in hand. After being told there were no appointments, the man began attacking staff with the crowbar. 5x people were wounded during the attack.Europe: This morning a "major disruption" was reported in the Channel Tunnel, halting train services between London and Paris. The cause of the disruption was two-fold, resulting from several power lines being downed in one tunnel, and a train stuck in the other tunnel, blocking service both ways under the English Channel.Analyst Comment: This sounds like it wouldn't be that big of a deal, but due to the importance of this one tunnel (and the nature of rail logistics), passenger train services were halted from Amsterdam to Paris, all during one of the most heavily-trafficked travels season of the year. Delays have been reported all day, and EuroStar has recommended travelers to avoid trains which use cross-Channel routes until repairs are made.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: The situation in Yemen has always been a tangled web of factions, and thing's aren't as simple as "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". This latest development is no different, and throughout the day the statements from all parties reflect more of the plot of a soap opera than traditional diplomacy.The STC is a separatist movement in Yemen that is opposing the Houthi's, but also opposing the Saudis. The Saudis know that if the STC were to win the Civil War in Yemen and actually dominate the Houthis, the STC would probably sidestep the formal Yemeni government and succeed in their goal of creating a new state (what they call South Arabia), which the STC has been working toward for some time. The UAE provides materiel support to the STC for several reasons. For one, the UAE and the Saudis have bad-blood between them on cultural grounds, but both the Emirates and the Saudi royal family also don't want the Houthi's to control most of Yemen, thus the reason for both nations teaming up to form the security coalition in Yemen.However, the Saudis also don't want the Houthi's adversaries (the STC) to get too much control either...which the UAE *does* want so as to apply pressure to the Saudis because the UAE and Yemen don't share a land border, so they don't care.In short, the Saudis and Emirates don't actually like each other, but work together to control the dozens of
HRH Prince Faisal bin Bandar bin Sultan 170 | Chairman, Saudi Esports FederationOn this episode, we were honored to welcome HRH Prince Faisal bin Bandar bin Sultan, Chairman of the Saudi Esports Federation.We explore the remarkable evolution of Saudi Arabia's gaming and esports sector from the federation's establishment in 2018 to its central role in positioning the Kingdom as a leading global esports destination. The conversation traces Saudi Arabia's hosting of Gamers8, the Kingdom's flagship international esports event, for two consecutive years, followed by the launch of the Esports World Cup, hosted in Saudi Arabia and delivered by the Esports World Cup Foundation. Over the past two years, the tournament has rapidly emerged as a global phenomenon, welcoming more than 3 million visitors.Prince Faisal shares insights into the groundbreaking Gamers Without Borders charity initiative, the growing participation of women in Saudi gaming, and the infrastructure being built to nurture local talent into world-class professionals.

The United States struck another drug-carrying vessel in the Eastern Pacific on Monday, amid a major military buildup in the Caribbean. The move follows President Donald Trump's announcement that U.S. forces destroyed a drug boat loading facility inside Venezuela last week.Russia has yet to provide evidence backing its claim that Ukraine attacked the residence of President Vladimir Putin with drones, as the U.S. ambassador to NATO publicly cast doubt on Moscow's accusation. Meanwhile, the Chinese Communist Party fired missiles around Taiwan for a second day, continuing large-scale drills encircling the island. Some analysts say the maneuvers appear to rehearse an invasion rather than follow routine exercises.And tensions spiked between Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The UAE says it's voluntarily withdrawing its last remaining military forces from Yemen, following Saudi airstrikes on a southern Yemeni port city. Saudi Arabia claims the strikes targeted a weapons shipment allegedly sent from the UAE to support separatist forces.
From close allies to rivals. The United Arab Emirates says it's pulling its troops out of Yemen. That's after an ultimatum by the Saudi-backed presidential council of Yemen. After a decade of alliance, what's triggered this rupture? And where does it leave its plans in war-torn Yemen?

The United Arab Emirates has agreed to withdraw its forces from Yemen after a Saudi bombing of the port of Mukalla. Saudi authorities say it targeted weapons intended for UAE-backed separatists who threatened its security. Also in the programme: the latest search for the missing Malaysia Airlines flight 370 begins today; why a Japanese folk tale of a ghost that haunts school toilets still persists; and we look ahead to some of the big stories of next year with our correspondents who cover health, the environment and sport.

Supporters of southern Yemen's separatist movement have taken to the streets in Aden to protest at an ultimatum delivered by Saudi Arabia to the group's main backer, the United Arab Emirates. The UAE said on Tuesday it would abide by a Saudi demand to end its military involvement in Yemen. Riyadh has been angered by separatist advances towards the Saudi border. Overnight on Monday, a Saudi-led strike force attacked a port in southern Yemen, where Riyadh said two UAE ships had docked with weapons for the separatists. The UAE has denied this.Also in the programme: Another day of street protests in Iran as inflation sours and the currency tanks - how will the government respond? And after 400 years, Denmark's national postal service has delivered letters for the last time.(Photo: The UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) seeks independence for southern Yemen.

The United Arab Emirates said on Tuesday said it was pulling out its remaining forces in Yemen after Saudi Arabia backed a call for UAE forces to leave the country within 24 hours, in a major crisis between the two Gulf powers and oil producers. The UAE made its announcement hours after a Saudi-led coalition airstrike on the southern Yemeni port of Mukalla.Voters in Iowa State Senate District 16 go to the polls Tuesday for a special election that has major political stakes, with a Republican supermajority in the state's upper chamber on the line.

Cristiano Ronaldo BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Cristiano Ronaldo has spent the past few days doing what has defined his entire career turning routine league matches into biographical milestones while quietly expanding his off pitch empire. In the Saudi Pro League, multiple outlets including World Soccer Talk and Bolavip report that he scored a brace in Al Nassrs 3 0 win over Al Akhdoud, taking his official career tally to an extraordinary 956 goals and pushing his 2025 haul to 40 goals at age 40, a marker that fueled fresh headlines about him nearing the once unthinkable 1000 goal barrier. Sportskeeda notes that Ronaldo seized on the moment with trademark showmanship on Instagram, captioning his post and story with the phrase 40 goals at 40 and adding playful emojis, a self aware nod to his age that was widely shared across social media and amplified by fan accounts and football pages that framed him as bending the rules of sporting time.According to Bolavip, he followed the match by issuing a crisp seven word message that local and international media spun into a banner of intent, tying his personal scoring surge directly to Al Nassrs perfect start in the league and their mounting title push, reinforcing his status as not just star attraction but central protagonist in Saudi footballs global branding project. Tribuna and other aggregators underlined the statistical significance this is now the 14th calendar year in which Ronaldo has hit at least 40 goals, a longevity record that biographers will surely circle as the defining theme of his late career.Off the pitch, the most consequential development for his long term story may be financial and lifestyle rather than sporting. In a statement from state backed developer Red Sea Global, officials confirmed that Ronaldo has purchased luxury villas at Nujuma a Ritz Carlton Reserve on Saudi Arabias Red Sea coast, describing him as a longtime visitor who has now made the ultra exclusive destination his private paradise. That move, reported in the companys own media center and echoed in regional press, signals a deeper personal and commercial anchoring in the kingdom and will likely be read as both a bet on Saudi tourism and a hint that his post playing life may remain tied to the region. Beyond these confirmed events, gossip blogs have floated unverified whispers about additional endorsement deals and reality style media projects around his family, but as of now no major outlet or brand has gone on record to confirm them.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

NEWS • The Horror Make-Up Show at Universal Studios Florida is officially closing January 4, with speculation swirling about what kind of reimagined experience might replace it. • New permits tied to Intamin suggest real movement in the Lost Continent area at Islands of Adventure, fueling renewed talk of a possible Legend of Zelda attraction. • Universal files trademarks for Celestial Goodnight, pointing strongly toward a nighttime spectacular at Epic Universe. • Ongoing guest surveys hint that a FanFest-style separately ticketed event could be headed to Universal Orlando, featuring IPs like Lord of the Rings, Pokémon, Godzilla, and K-Pop Demon Hunters. • Universal is reviewing bids for a long-term transportation system connecting Epic Universe with the original Universal Orlando campus. FEATURE • A Wall Street Journal report revives talk of a Universal Studios park in Saudi Arabia, likely financed by the Saudi government through a licensing deal. • How this potential project echoes past international ventures like Dubailand, including what went wrong and what Universal may have learned. • Why indoor, climate-controlled parks are the only viable model for the region and how this mirrors Disney's recent Middle East strategy. • What all of this says about Universal's future, from regional parks like Universal Kids Resort to massive international expansions.

The Trillionaire Life Of Saudi's Richest Princess!
Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger react to Dave Chappelle's recent public clap-back at Bill Maher after Maher criticized Chappelle for suggesting that free speech is "better" in Saudi Arabia than in the U.S. Jimmy agrees that Chappelle's joke about Western hypocrisy and journalist deaths landed, but argues Chappelle was dodging broader criticism about comedians signing censorship contracts to perform under Saudi government speech restrictions. Jimmy and Kurt discuss whether wealthy comics like Chappelle need to take gigs that require avoiding criticism of a regime, contrasting him with Tim Dillon, who mocked the restrictions on stage and was reportedly removed from the festival. The video also dives into larger debates about credibility, power, political hypocrisy, and how comedians like Chappelle, Maher, and others navigate money, speech, and moral boundaries. Plus segments on Tucker Carlson being named Antisemite of the Year and Trump's images being retracted from a recent Epstein files release. Also featuring Mike MacRae and Stef Zamorano. And a phone call from Jeff Bridges!

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin have returned, and already it feels like there's more sunshine today. There! The DOJ released less than a percent of the Epstein files. Happy now? Apparently, dumping 500 pages with black lines over previously accessible documents and removing photos that even they had released previously fails to meet the spirit of the Epstein Files Transparency Act… Ok, the law of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, along with several other laws. It does fulfill the spirit of screwing as many as possible while keeping your buddies' backs, however. You couldn't catch the latest 60 Minutes episode because Bari Weiss caught and killed it first. CBS says the story wasn't ready, but it did take a while for Bari Weiss to get her story together as well. Trump is removing dozens of career diplomats from overseas posts, because what would they know? Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry will be special envoy to Greenland, because Jeff is a noted expert on agreeing with Trump. Landry will remain Governor as Louisiana's constitution does not explicitly prohibit "side hustles". Nobody told ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee to not to talk with Jonathan Pollard, who was convicted of selling American secrets for Israeli gold, who now hates Donald K. Trump for selling America for Saudi gold. The getting is good for Cynthia Lummis and Elise Stefanik, so they're gone, while Mike Johnson might not be aware that he's already been quiet fired. The Federal Reserve pre-fired 11 of its 12 regional bank presidents before Trump could. How does Lindsey Halligan keep not doing it?
The media war you're watching on the news is NOTHING compared to the media war happening behind the news. In this episode, I'm breaking down how Netflix – the same company that crushed the entire streaming game – just ran into the REAL bosses of media… and why a $108 billion hostile takeover tells you everything you need to know about power, propaganda, and who really runs America.Netflix tried to level up from “just streaming” to owning the airwaves – TNT, TBS, CNN, the whole Warner Bros Discovery empire. Then Paramount + Skydance pulled up like, “Nah… we want ALL of that” – with an all-cash, $108B offer straight to the shareholders, backed by Larry Ellison's money, Saudi wealth funds, and Trump's son-in-law's capital. This ain't just about movies. This is about who controls the narrative. And they don't let just anybody touch that.Join our Exclusive Patreon!!!

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Military correspondent Emanuel Fabian joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Senior officials from the US, France and Saudi Arabia are set to meet in Paris today amid fears that Israel could embark on a new military operation against Hezbollah in Lebanon after a December 31 deadline to disarm the Iran-backed terror group passes, a diplomatic official told The Times of Israel on Tuesday. We have seen an uptick in tensions over the past few weeks. Fabian takes us back to early October to give context for what is currently happening on the ground. In one of his first moves, new Military Advocate General Maj. Gen. Itai Ofir decided today to close a criminal case against a senior reserves officer who was facing charges over his involvement in the circumstances that led to the deaths of a soldier and a civilian researcher in southern Lebanon in November 2024. Fabian was in the area when this occurred and fills us in. Israeli settlers torched a vehicle and sprayed graffiti in a West Bank village near Ramallah overnight, according to Palestinian media. The suspected crime took place in Ein Yabrud. The conflict in the West Bank, always at a low boil, but are appearances deceiving in that it seems to be on a higher flame in the past several weeks? After Palestinian media reported a series of Israeli airstrikes in eastern Gaza City, the IDF said it is conducting routine activity to demolish Hamas infrastructure in the Israeli-controlled area. In addition to the tunnel demolitions, there are almost daily incidents in which Gazans attempt to cross the Yellow Line from the Hamas-ruled side. Fabian gives several scenarios for the attempted crossings. Earlier in the month, Fabian visited Hamas’s “most complex” tunnel network in the Gaza Strip, where, eventually, the remains of Lt. Hadar Goldin were recovered. He was killed and abducted by the terror group in 2014, and it transpires that he was held some two kilometers from the Israeli border. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

PREVIEW — Andrea Stricker — Nuclear Safeguards Framework for Saudi Arabia's Reactor Acquisition. Strickeroutlines essential precautions and international safeguard mechanisms necessary to prevent nuclear proliferation resulting from Saudi Arabia's acquisition of advanced nuclear power plant technology and fuel cycle capabilities. Strickerrecommends permanent International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguard protocols and comprehensive additional verification arrangements covering all present and future Saudi nuclear facilities, ensuring Riyadh cannot unilaterally eject IAEA inspectors or rescind international safeguard commitments if the Kingdom subsequently pursues uranium enrichment or nuclear fuel reprocessing activities for weapons development. Stricker emphasizes that binding safeguard protocols are essential to preventing Saudi acquisition of weapons-grade nuclear material and maintaining nonproliferation regime integrity in the Middle East.
Today's Headlines: Trump is reportedly gearing up for his first big firing of Term Two — and no, it's not Pete Hegseth or RFK Jr. The likely target is DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, because she's not deporting people fast enough for Grandpa Joffrey. Rumor is she'll be swapped out for Glenn Youngkin once he's done being Virginia's governor. Meanwhile, Alina Habba is officially out after her totally-not-real stint as U.S. attorney, Trump is still shielding Pete over that missing boat-strike video, and MTG is rebranding herself as “America First” — prompting Trump to call her a washed-up traitor. In Texas, Jasmine Crockett is in the Senate race, Colin Allred is out, and Democrats suddenly have… a plot twist. Trump and Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins dropped a $12B farm bailout to fix the tariff mess Trump created, because of course. Paramount is launching a hostile, Saudi- and Kushner-funded bid to snatch Warner Bros. Discovery away from Netflix — the messiest media custody battle imaginable. And finally, ABC renewed Jimmy Kimmel despite Trump rage-tweeting that he should be fired, even while Trump was busy giving himself a medal at the Kennedy Center Honors.
