    In this week's show we start with FOLLOW UP: The world keeps trying to protect kids online — Indonesia just joined Australia, Spain, and Malaysia in banning social media for under-16s, while COPPA 2.0 sailed through the US Senate unanimously. Meanwhile, Roblox is using AI to clean up its chat, because apparently "Hurry TF up" is the hill they've chosen to die on — even as they're still dealing with the whole "pedophile problem" thing from January. On the AI copyright front, Gracenote is the latest company to sue OpenAI for helping itself to proprietary data, joining a growing queue of plaintiffs who apparently didn't get the memo that everything is training data now.IN THE NEWS: Anthropic is suing the Pentagon after being labeled a "supply chain risk" — apparently because the CEO said AI shouldn't be used for mass surveillance or autonomous weapons, which the Trump administration heard as fighting words. The delicious irony: the Pentagon is still running Claude in active operations while trying to phase it out. Speaking of active operations, investigators now think a missile strike on an Iranian girls' school may have been triggered by bad AI-generated intelligence from that same Claude-based system. So yes, the autocomplete that hallucinates your grocery list is also maybe accidentally bombing schools. Meta's Oversight Board is begging the company to get serious about AI-generated content after a fake war video from a Filipino fake news account racked up 700K views — while separately, Zuckerberg dropped cash on Moltbook, a "social network for AI agents" that turned out to be mostly humans larping as bots and had a security flaw that exposed everyone's API keys. The guy who built it basically vibe-coded the whole thing. Meta's own CTO said he didn't "find it particularly interesting." And yet. Oracle is hemorrhaging jobs and drowning in debt chasing AI dreams, its stock down 50% from peak — a timely reminder that "AI will replace workers" is currently manifesting as "companies set money on fire and lay people off to pay the electric bill." Researchers confirmed AI is homogenizing human thought and creativity — a thing some of us have been screaming since day one. A DOGE engineer allegedly walked out of the Social Security Administration with databases containing personal info on 500 million Americans on a thumb drive. The Ig Nobel Prize is relocating to Switzerland because it's no longer safe to invite international guests to America. Nintendo is suing the US government to get its tariff money back. SETI thinks it may have been accidentally filtering out alien signals due to space weather. And Pokémon Go players unknowingly spent a decade building a centimeter-accurate surveillance map of Earth's cities that's now guiding pizza delivery robots — which, honestly, tracks.In APPS & DOODADS: The GOG clan in Clash Royale just hit eight years old — respect. OpenAudible is the cross-platform audiobook manager your Audible library deserves, especially if you've got over a thousand books sitting there judging you.And finally in MEDIA CANDY: Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Season 2 is here, and pretty beige. Live Nation settled its DOJ antitrust case for $200 million, kept Ticketmaster, and avoided a breakup — meanwhile court documents revealed employees joking about "robbing fans blind" and gouging "stupid" customers, which explains basically every concert ticket you've bought in the last decade. YouTube is now officially the world's largest media company at $62 billion in revenue. Bluesky's CEO is stepping down, which is either a bad sign or just the natural order of "person who built the cool thing hands it to the person who scales the cool thing." Dead Set — Charlie Brooker's 2008 zombie-in-the-Big-Brother-house miniseries — is worth a watch if you haven't. And trailers dropped for Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 (March 24th), The Boys final season (April 8th), and The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (April 1st — yes, really).Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.CleanMyMac - Get Tidy Today!

Millions of people take a multivitamin every single day believing it's protecting their health. It's marketed as the ultimate safety net, one capsule that covers all your nutritional bases. But almost nobody is asking the most important question: What's actually inside the finished product? Multivitamins are concentrated compounds that directly affect your physiology. And if those capsules are contaminated, mislabeled, degraded, or poorly sourced, you could be exposing yourself to harmful substances every single day. Heavy metals like lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury can accumulate in the body over time, especially with daily supplementation. Yet in the supplement industry, there is no universal requirement for brands to show independent third-party testing of their finished products. So instead of trusting marketing claims, labels, or influencer recommendations, Dr. Christian Gonzalez went directly to the source. He contacted 45 multivitamin companies with one simple request: Provide third-party batch testing and a Certificate of Analysis (CoA) showing what's actually in the final product. The results were alarming. Most companies either refused to provide documentation or never responded at all. In this episode, Dr. G breaks down: • Why finished-product testing matters more than raw ingredient testing • The hidden risks of heavy metals and contaminants in supplements • Why many multivitamins fail basic transparency standards • The difference between label claims and verified potency • How heavy metals can accumulate in the body with daily exposure • The four brands (out of 45) that passed strict transparency and testing criteria This episode isn't about attacking companies; it's about accountability and transparency. If you take a multivitamin every day, understanding how supplements are tested (or not tested) could have a major impact on your long-term health.

    Are you following "standard medical advice" only to find yourself stalled, exhausted, or racing to the kitchen at 3 AM? In this episode of the 2KK Uncensored Podcast, Joe and Rachel pull back the curtain on the Great Salt Scam. We dive deep into why the standard RDA for sodium is often a "metabolic death sentence" for those on a ketogenic or carnivore lifestyle. Rachel shares her harrowing personal story of ending up in the ER on the brink of death due to low electrolytes—and why the hospital's solution was part of the problem. In this episode, we discuss: The Mineral Vacuum: How 5G, chronic stress, and cortisol literally dump your magnesium and potassium levels. Big Pharma vs. Your Health: Why a $1.50 mineral fix isn't profitable for a system built on "forever meds" like GLP-1 shots. The "Pufferfish" Effect: Why drinking salt water without plain water can backfire. The 48-Hour Restart: Our simple, two-step plan to get your electrolytes back on track and break through a plateau. Stop asking for permission to feel human again. It's time to fix the foundation of your health, quiet the "monkey brain" keeping you awake at night, and discover why salt is the ultimate battery for your body.

    Is Bitcoin the future of money… or just another chapter in the long history of currencies that didn't last?In this episode of Mind.Muscle.Money., host Tim Ghiorso takes a deep dive into one of the biggest questions in modern finance: Is Bitcoin built to last?Rather than focusing only on hype or price predictions, Tim steps back and examines the history of money itself. From ancient forms of trade to experimental currencies used throughout history, societies have constantly tested new ways to store and exchange value—many of which eventually disappeared.This episode explores famous historical examples like the Tulip Mania in 17th-century Holland, along with other speculative booms and temporary currencies that once captured public imagination. By studying these moments in history, Tim analyzes the patterns that determine whether something becomes a lasting form of money—or fades into a financial footnote.Using those historical lessons as a lens, this episode asks the critical question: Does Bitcoin have the foundation to become a durable global currency, or is it following a path we've already seen before?If you're curious about the future of Bitcoin, the psychology behind monetary systems, and what history can teach us about emerging currencies, this episode will give you a deeper perspective on where things might be heading.Welcome back to Mind.Muscle.Money. — where we break down the ideas that build stronger minds, stronger bodies, and stronger financial futures.

    This week on Scaredycast, we dive into some horror hot takes, a bizarre crime story, and listener tales from one of the creepiest places in America. We debate whether The Exorcist still holds up as a terrifying movie or if modern audiences are too desensitized. Then we ask an important survival question: if Jason Voorhees existed in real life, would most people actually survive him? We also discuss whether horror movies are failing to scare audiences because we've seen everything—or because filmmakers aren't taking enough risks anymore. We talk about the absolutely insane story of a Louisiana man accused of pretending to be disabled in order to lure a nanny and have her perform infant-style care like diaper changes. Police say the suspect allegedly used a nanny service to bring victims to his home and was arrested on a human trafficking charge, with investigators saying similar incidents had happened before. And finally, a listener writes in with stories from working inside Zak Bagans' The Haunted Museum—including what it's like behind the scenes around some of the most infamous cursed objects in paranormal lore.

    In this episode, we sit down again with veterinary epidemiologist and Fatty15 co-founder Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson to explore the emerging science behind C15:0, an odd-chain saturated fatty acid increasingly recognized as potentially essential for human health. The conversation begins by addressing skepticism and online claims that C15:0 research is a "scam," before diving into the human and epidemiological evidence showing that higher circulating levels of C15:0 are associated with lower cardiometabolic disease risk. Dr. Venn-Watson explains why not all saturated fats behave the same biologically, contrasting C15:0 with C16 and highlighting C15:0's unique properties including anti-inflammatory effects, mitochondrial support, and protection against cellular stress. Together they explore how modern dietary patterns may have reduced natural intake of this nutrient, what the latest clinical and mechanistic research suggests about aging and metabolic health, and why continuing to challenge long-standing nutrition dogma requires following the data wherever it leads. ----- 00:00 – The "C15 Essential Fatty Acid Scam" Debate 02:08 – Why Critics Say There Isn't Enough Human Evidence 06:35 – Dolphin Research That Led to the Discovery of C15 11:15 – Epidemiology: Higher C15 and Lower Cardiometabolic Risk 16:05 – Saturated Fat: Why the Narrative May Be Oversimplified 21:30 – C15 vs C16: Not All Saturated Fats Are the Same 27:05 – What Makes a Fat Truly "Essential" 32:10 – The "Goldilocks Fat": Why C15 Stands Out 38:20 – Anti-Inflammatory vs Pro-Inflammatory Fats 44:40 – Mitochondria, Cellular Stability, and Longevity 51:15 – Ferroptosis and Protecting Cells From Oxidative Damage 57:50 – Are We Aging Faster Without Enough C15? 1:05:10 – Why Modern Diets May Be Lower in C15 1:12:30 – How Scientists Follow the Data, Even Against Dogma 1:21:50 – What "Ever Forward" Means in Science and Life ----- Episode resources: Stephanie's first appearance on the show in episode 832 Save 15% with code EVERFORWARD at https://www.Fatty15.com/everforward

    Public Safety Thursday: 3000 Warnings in 4 Days

    The Valley Today

    Play Episode Listen Later Mar 5, 2026 29:53


    The Numbers Tell a Startling Story Frederick County Sheriff's Office Captain Warren Gosnell sits down with Valley Today host Janet Michael to discuss a reality check for local drivers: the county's newly activated school zone speed cameras caught nearly 3,000 violators in just four days. Even more concerning, some drivers were caught speeding through the same school zone every single day, with speeds reaching up to 32 mph over the posted limit. "We weren't expecting that high," Gosnell admits, though he anticipated significant numbers given that one camera monitors Route 7, a heavily traveled corridor. The system tracks three school zones across the county, with each violation processed through multiple layers of human review before any warning or citation is issued. How the System Actually Works Unlike what critics might assume, this isn't an AI-driven "Big Brother" operation. Instead, every single violation passes through human hands multiple times before reaching a driver's mailbox. First, employees in Chattanooga, Tennessee review each potential violation individually. They verify the date, time, location, flashing lights, license plate number, and vehicle match. Then, the data travels back to Frederick County, where one of three sworn officers—including Gosnell himself—reviews everything again. They check whether school was in session, confirm the lights were actually flashing, and ensure the license plate matches the vehicle in the photograph. "This is all by human hand," Gosnell emphasizes. "We don't scan tags. We have a violator, now we run the tag." The system includes video clips showing four seconds before and after each violation, proving the school zone lights were actively flashing when drivers exceeded the speed limit by more than 9 mph—the threshold Frederick County established to allow for reasonable margin of error. The Warning Period and What Comes Next Currently, drivers receive only warnings through March 12th. After that date, however, violators face $100 civil penalties per offense. The flat fee applies regardless of how much drivers exceed the limit, though Gosnell warns that habitual speeders might find themselves facing something more serious than an automated ticket. "What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna set a live deputy up," he explains, "'cause I know what time you come through, I know what you're driving." A live traffic stop opens the door to additional charges beyond speeding—reckless driving, expired inspections, or even DUI arrests. Repeat Offenders and Changing Behavior Perhaps most troubling are the repeat offenders caught before they received their first warnings. One driver accumulated violations on four consecutive days, traveling 63, 69, 71, and 77 mph in a 45 mph school zone. Because warnings hadn't yet arrived in mailboxes, the driver had no idea they were being caught. "He hadn't gotten his first warning yet," Gosnell notes. Officials hope that once these initial warnings land, at least a third of violators will modify their behavior immediately. Interestingly, a significant number of drivers were caught at exactly the threshold—45 mph in a 35 mph zone. Some critics questioned why the county would enforce at such a low margin, but Gosnell counters that the threshold discussion misses the point entirely. "You're forgetting that 45 in a 35 is still 10 miles an hour over the limit," he states firmly. "It's still illegal." Proactive Rather Than Reactive When critics demand to know how many children have been injured or killed at these specific locations, Gosnell pushes back against reactive thinking. He points out that the stretch in front of Stonewall Elementary has already seen two fatal crashes—not during school hours, but crashes nonetheless involving school staff. "We're not gonna be reactive when it comes to this," he insists. "We wanna be proactive." Frederick County has already recorded its second traffic fatality of 2026 despite only being in February. Last year's total was nine fatalities for the entire year, with months passing between incidents. The current trajectory concerns officials who see technology as a force multiplier when deputies can't be everywhere simultaneously. "Even then our deputies can't be there the whole time," Gosnell explains. "The moment I start dealing with someone who came through at 48 in the 35, here comes 62 in the 35, and I don't know it because I'm dealing with 48." Broader Safety Concerns as Weather Warms As temperatures climb and motorcycle season begins, Gosnell shifts the conversation to road safety beyond school zones. He acknowledges the unique vulnerabilities motorcyclists face while also calling out dangerous riding behaviors like weaving through traffic or "lane splitting," which remains illegal in Virginia. "I'm a realistic traffic cop," Gosnell says, explaining that he understands why riders want to create distance from larger vehicles at traffic lights. Accelerating quickly to establish space makes sense, but there's a right way and a wrong way to do it. Riders need to reach the speed limit without excessive displays of power, then maintain safe speeds while other vehicles catch up. Simultaneously, he reminds passenger vehicle drivers of their responsibilities. "You have an obligation to every other driver to be as safe as you can be," he states. Whether drivers accept it or not, everyone shares the road and bears responsibility for protecting one another. The Privilege of Driving Throughout the conversation, Gosnell returns repeatedly to a fundamental principle that some drivers seem to forget: driving is not a constitutional right. It's a state-granted privilege that comes with legal obligations. "I know my rights—driving isn't one of them, people," he declares. "You get a license granted to you from whatever DMV of the jurisdiction in which you live." He dismisses sovereign citizen arguments about traveling without licenses or registration, noting that such claims consistently fail in court and lead to arrests. Scams and Final Warnings Before wrapping up, Gosnell addresses a surge in scams where criminals impersonate law enforcement officers to extort money from residents. Someone even created fake recordings using Gosnell's own name and rank, though the voice bore no resemblance to the real captain. His advice remains simple: hang up immediately if anyone claiming to be law enforcement asks for money, gift cards, or cryptocurrency related to tickets, warrants, or jury duty. "Ten times outta 10, they're gonna tell you it wasn't a member of their agency," he assures listeners who call back through official channels to verify. The Bottom Line As Frederick County's 30-day warning period winds down, Gosnell makes his position clear. Drivers who accumulate multiple warnings and still refuse to slow down will find little sympathy when the $100 citations begin arriving. The technology exists not to generate revenue but to change driving behavior around schools where children concentrate in vehicles, buses, and crosswalks. "All you need to do is slow down to at least nine or less over the limit," Gosnell emphasizes. "We prefer you to be at the limit, but all you gotta do is slow down a little bit once you hit the 10." For those who continue ignoring the warnings, the message is simple: the cameras will keep watching, humans will keep reviewing, and consequences will follow. The goal remains unchanged—preventing the next tragedy before it happens rather than responding to one that already has.

    Starting off in FOLLOW UP, we've got a tax economist who actually made money betting against the "efficiency" of Elon's budget-slashing fever dreams, while Tesla is busy trying to dodge a $243 million jury verdict for an Autopilot-assisted fatality. Not content with being legally liable, Tesla is also suing the California DMV because they're offended someone called their "Autopilot" and "Full Self-Driving" marketing deceptive—ironic, since Jack Dorsey just "proactively" halved the staff at Block to make room for more AI slop. Speaking of which, Goldman Sachs is here to remind us that all this AI spending added a grand total of zero to the US GDP last year, mostly because we're just exporting all that cash to overseas chip makers while 80% of execs admit the tech hasn't actually done anything for productivity yet.Moving into IN THE NEWS, Sam Altman had the audacity to compare ChatGPT's energy-sucking habits to the 20-year evolution of a human, though the internet wasn't exactly buying the "my bot is just like a baby" defense. Anthropic actually stood its ground against the Pentagon's demand for killer robots and mass surveillance, so naturally, the military just signed a deal to put Elon's Grok in their classified systems instead—because what could go wrong with an "edgy" LLM in the war room? Meanwhile, cities are dumping AI surveillance contracts as citizens start a literal "smash-the-snitch-box" campaign against Flock's license plate readers, Google's AI is busy inserting racial slurs into news alerts, and the White House is apparently harboring a staffer moonlighting as a racist "masterpiece" creator on X. We've also got Reddit being slapped with a $20 million fine in the UK for being lazy with age checks, while Discord and Apple scramble to build verification tools that hopefully won't leak your entire identity to a hacker in Belarus.In MEDIA CANDY, the Paramount-Skydance merger is leaving the industry in a cold sweat of "synergy" layoffs, but at least we're getting more Game of Thrones spinoffs and Star Trek reboots to rot our brains. Face/Off 2 lost its director, Ryan Coogler is taking on The X-Files, and Google wants to use AI to turn music into generic "lo-fi" background noise for the masses.Over in APPS & DOODADS, OpenAI is planning a 2027 smart speaker that literally watches you through a camera—because you definitely wanted a $300 Sam Altman-shaped eye in your kitchen—while the Dark Sky creators are back with "Acme Weather" for the low price of $25 a year.We wrap up THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE with a deep dive into "Under Pressure" and Coruscant's urban sprawl, leaving us to reminisce about the days when KPT Bryce was the pinnacle of tech—back when "generative art" was just a fractal that took six hours to render.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.SquareSpace - go to squarespace.com/GRUMPY for a free trial.

    1. Cuba Coast Guard Incident A US‑registered speedboat was fired upon by Cuban authorities, resulting in 4 deaths and 6 injuries. Cuba claims: The boat’s occupants fired first. Passengers (Cuban nationals living in the US) carried assault rifles, handguns, body armor, etc. The group was attempting armed infiltration with terrorist intent. The US position: Nothing is verified yet; US agencies are investigating. Officials (Rubio, Vance, DHS, Coast Guard) are demanding access to survivors. No indication the operation had any US government involvement. The event raises fears of a major diplomatic flashpoint, given: Historical tension (e.g., 1996 Brothers to the Rescue shootdown). Current hardline US posture toward Cuba. 2. Minnesota Medicaid Fraud Crackdown The Trump administration has paused $259.5 million in Medicaid reimbursements to Minnesota over large‑scale fraud concerns. Fraud schemes allegedly include: Paying mothers $1,000 to falsely diagnose children with autism to bill Medicaid. A provider billing for 450 days of work exceeding 24 hours/day. Centers billing for beneficiaries who were already deceased. VP JD Vance and CMS Director Dr. Oz emphasize: The fraud involves home and community‑based services that are hard to audit. Minnesota must submit a corrective action plan or risk losing up to $1 billion in funds. Providers have already been paid by Minnesota; the federal government is withholding reimbursement from the state, not from citizens. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
