Three weeks into Oklahoma's fall camp, Brandon Drumm delivers another loaded Post-Practice Blitz featuring sourced team, practice and injury intel. Brandon breaks down the latest offensive-line configuration, center reps, player availability, practice standouts and young Sooners making legitimate moves. He also reveals whose fall-camp stock is rising and which players he's buying heading toward the season. Then, Brandon responds to Paul Finebaum questioning Oklahoma's preseason Top-10 ranking. Is OU ranked too highly because of its brutal schedule, or is Finebaum overlooking the talent and College Football Playoff ceiling of this roster?

(Originally aired: 8/18/25)Season 10 is officially here, and we're kicking things off with a splash! Bunnie Xo sits down with Martin Riese, America's first certified water sommelier, to unpack the myths, science, and politics behind what we drink. Bunnie shares her own viral “water debacle” and what she learned from testing different sources, while Martin breaks down the subtleties of water taste profiles, the role of TDS (Total Dissolved Solids), and the environmental toll of bottled water. Together, they clear the air on false claims about Mountain Valley's arsenic levels and stress the need for transparency and fact-checking in the industry.Martin also calls out the dangers of multi-level marketing schemes, debunks the rumor that sparkling water causes cancer, and highlights how basic chemistry and proper filtration can make all the difference. He taste-tests Saratoga, Mountain Valley, and even a rare 2,000-year-old Australian water with 1,300 TDS, while critiquing Perrier's lack of transparency. Along the way, he explains why RO systems and shower filters are worth the investment, and why America needs to improve its water infrastructure instead of relying solely on bottled brands.The conversation wraps with Martin previewing his upcoming app, Sourced, which will offer free, reliable water education, and a reminder to approach water debates with compassion, curiosity, and a commitment to the facts.Watch Full Episodes & More: YouTube

Bag Hags, I got really sick the morning after we recorded this (causation? correlation?) so you're getting a half-assed caption today. "A beautiful, pure-hearted young woman, Maleficent has an idyllic life growing up in a peaceable forest kingdom, until one day when an invading army threatens the harmony of the land. She rises to be the land's fiercest protector, but she ultimately suffers a ruthless betrayal – an act that begins to turn her heart into stone. Bent on revenge, Maleficent faces an epic battle with the invading King's successor and, as a result, places a curse upon his newborn infant Aurora. As the child grows, Maleficent realizes that Aurora holds the key to peace in the kingdom – and to Maleficent's true happiness as well." (Sourced from Letterboxd). Over in the Pop Corner, we talk cinema etiquette, Disney flops, She's A Killer and what our fave pop girlies are up to.

Send us Fan MailWe pour Metallica's Blackened whiskey and test whether “born in cask forged by sound” is a real finishing technique or just a loud story.

Bryan Kohberger now says he never should have said the word guilty. He said it anyway, four times, in an Ada County courtroom, once for each of the four University of Idaho students he admitted killing.This episode is about the gap between those two things, and about who was standing next to him the day he closed it. Kohberger is in segregated housing at Idaho's maximum security prison for the murders of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin. He admitted all four killings in an Ada County courtroom. Now he says that admission should be thrown out, and he has filed to make it happen without a lawyer attached.We read what he wrote, and we look at how he wrote it, because the writing is the tell. We revisit the day he pleaded guilty, who was standing with him, and how much time he and his legal team had already spent going through the evidence. Then we get to the single sworn sentence that leaves his new claim with nowhere to go.Underneath all of it is a letter these four families received before any deal was signed, containing a written promise about this exact scenario from someone who should have known better than to make it.The Goncalves family responded the same day, took the petition apart, and had a few words about the outlet that handed him a platform in the first place.Sourced from the court docket, the filings, and dated reporting on the University of Idaho case.LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this episode, we deep dive into the extraordinary origins of Splendor Volcanic Artesian Water, a brand that goes far beyond standard hydration. Sourced from the pristine foothills of the Ecuadorian Andes near the Cotopaxi Volcano and La Maná, Ecuador, this water's journey begins as pure snow and rainfall filtering slowly for centuries through deep layers of volcanic basalt, lava rock, and ancient mineral strata. Discovered in a region historically revered by ancient civilizations for its unique energetic properties, the underground artesian aquifer brings something truly rare to the table. In this episode, we explore what makes Splendor completely unique, from being globally recognized as the only bottled water known to naturally contain trace amounts of colloidal gold and silver—with the silver acting as a natural preservative that eliminates the need for harsh ozone treatments—to its "Super Low Minerality" Total Dissolved Solids level of roughly 31 mg/L that guarantees a silky, clean, and smooth finish with zero metallic aftertaste and balanced trace electrolytes for cellular hydration. Looking forward, listeners can get excited about what is next for the brand, including its dedication to ecological responsibility through pioneering 100% recycled plastic (rPET) bottles in Latin America alongside light-filtering indigo glass packaging designed to protect water integrity from UV degradation, plus its Rainforest Alliance certification that directs a percentage of gross sales back into local environmental conservation and community development programs in Ecuador. Web: https://splendorwater.com 15% Discount: ashsaidit15 Follow: @splendorwater Splendor Volcanic Artesian Water (formerly known as Health2O / Splendor by Health2O) is an ultra-premium volcanic artesian mineral water available in still and sparkling varieties. Sourced from the pristine foothills of the Andes Mountains near the Cotopaxi Volcano and La Maná, Ecuador, it holds global recognition as the only bottled water naturally containing trace amounts of colloidal gold and colloidal silver. With a Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) level of roughly 31 mg/L, it falls squarely into the "Super Low Minerality" category. Furthermore, it features signature dark indigo-blue glass and eco-friendly rPET packaging designed specifically to protect water integrity from UV degradation. The journey of Splendor Water begins as pure snow and rainfall on the peak of the Cotopaxi Volcano, one of the highest active volcanoes in the world. The water filters down slowly over centuries through deep layers of volcanic basalt, lava rock, and ancient mineral strata. It was discovered in the rainforest region of La Maná, Ecuador—an area historically revered by ancient civilizations for its unique energetic properties—during soil excavations that also revealed historical stone artifacts. It is bottled directly at the source to ensure that nothing is artificially added, removed, or chemically altered during packaging. Splendor is widely celebrated by water sommeliers and the Fine Water Society for its exceptional structure and taste profile. As the water traverses volcanic rock beds, it naturally acquires microscopic trace amounts of gold and silver. The naturally occurring silver acts as a natural preservative, eliminating the need for harsh ozone treatments. A near-zero heavy mineral load guarantees a silky, clean, and smooth finish on the palate with zero metallic aftertaste. Its natural isotonic properties deliver a balanced ratio of essential trace electrolytes—including calcium, potassium, magnesium, and bicarbonates—for optimal cellular hydration. Splendor maintains a strong commitment to ecological responsibility through sustainable business practices. The brand pioneered the use of 100% recycled plastic (rPET) bottles in Latin America alongside light-filtering indigo glass bottles designed for complete recyclability. It maintains Rainforest Alliance certification to safeguard the local Ecuadorian ecosystems surrounding the water source. A percentage of gross sales is funneled directly back into local environmental conservation programs and community development initiatives in Ecuador. - Ready to ignite the spark that levels up your entire life?

In recent months, the open vs closed, and US vs China discussions on model ownership and sovereign/local AI have heated up to a fever pitch. So it is very very good news that Poolside AI are finally emerging with new models, like Laguna S 2.1, that are beating Thinking Machines' recent release nearly 10 times their size.Poolside's recent tech report got a lot of praise due to their level of detail, and Vibhu first covered Laguna's recent technical report on our paper club:From spending $12 million building language models for code before the world cared to creating a Model Factory that can take a model from pre-training to release in eight weeks, Eiso Kant has spent more than a decade betting that code is the path to AGI. In this episode, the Poolside co-founder joins swyx and Vibhu to explain why ChatGPT felt like vindication, why Poolside embraced open weights and open research, and why he would rather live in a world with 100 foundation model companies than five even if Poolside were one of the five.We go deep on Poolside's Model Factory: the engineering systems behind 10,000–20,000 experiments per month, streaming data directly into training, reproducible experimentation, low-precision compute, and agents that increasingly write code, launch jobs, evaluate results, and modify the pipelines used to train future models. Eiso also unpacks their recent launch Laguna S, why persistence, verification, and backtracking may matter more than raw intelligence, how much capability remains inside smaller models, why reinforcement learning will move earlier into pre-training, and why next-token prediction is still extracting too little from the web.We also discuss model-harness co-design, Poolside's path from coding agents to AGI, why Eiso thinks MCP and traditional tool calls are “stupid,” the real economics behind frontier-model training, Poolside's $500 million raise, open-source AI, regulation, NVIDIA and TSMC's influence, engineering productivity in the agent era, high-agency teams, and hiring at Poolside.We discuss:* How Andrej Karpathy's RNN work inspired Eiso to start building language models for code in 2015* Why Eiso spent four years and $12 million pursuing an idea before the market cared* Why ChatGPT felt like vindication and brought Poolside back to open source* Why Eiso would prefer 100 foundation model companies over an oligopoly of five* The difference between releasing open weights and publishing genuinely open research* Why Poolside deliberately built a global research organization outside the Bay Area talent war* Why model building is ultimately 90% engineering* The Model Factory: Poolside's end-to-end system for rapidly training and improving models* How fewer than 70 researchers run roughly 10,000–20,000 experiments each month* How Poolside moved from six-month model cycles to five- and eight-week launches* Why streaming data directly into training unlocked faster experimentation* How immutable data, versioned code, and reproducibility enable rigorous model research* Why Eiso wants capable researchers to leave their labs and become Poolside's competitors* Why 95% of model building can be reduced to better data or compute efficiency* Laguna S and why persistence, verification, and backtracking can outperform raw intelligence* Why smaller models may handle far more knowledge work than previously expected* Why reinforcement learning will move earlier into pre-training* Why next-token prediction is still failing to extract enough knowledge from the web* Why distillation and environments have become the AI industry's favorite “drugs”* Why mid-training is really an early form of curriculum design* Low-precision training, networking bottlenecks, and the next gains in compute efficiency* Laguna S: 118 billion total parameters, 8 billion active, and eight weeks from training to launch* Why model builders can often evaluate a new checkpoint within its first 30 minutes* Model versus harness: where agent capabilities actually come from* Why Poolside sees coding and long-horizon software tasks as a path to AGI* Why Eiso thinks MCP and traditional tool calls are “stupid”* Why future agents will write scripts instead of choosing from dozens of predefined tools* The case for minimal harnesses, containers, and model freedom* Why Poolside is prioritizing vision but does not expect to work on audio soon* Why language may be the most compute-efficient modality for encoding knowledge and reasoning* The real cost of model development and why the final training run is anticlimactic* The story behind the Poolside name and why it represents refusing to lower ambitions* How Poolside raised $500 million while investors still questioned whether AGI was real* Why intelligence could become the world's most demanded and commoditized resource* When open models may become too capable to release without restrictions* Why unilateral AI safety does not work in a globally competitive environment* How regulation could accidentally lock in an oligopoly of two or three AI companies* NVIDIA, TSMC, and the hardware systems underpinning foundation-model progress* Why reinforcement-learning wall-clock time is one of Poolside's biggest bottlenecks* Why Poolside trains models from scratch instead of simply distilling larger models* How AI changes the way companies should measure engineering productivity* Why agency may become the most important quality for employees in the AI era* How leaders align high-agency people through shared goals and clear constraints* Hiring across research, post-training, pre-training, architecture, evals, and engineering at PoolsideEiso KantLinkedIn:

with Eiso Kant from Poolside, together with Vibhu. Welcome.Eiso Kant [00:00:08]: Thanks. Thanks for having me, guys. Good to be here.Swyx [00:00:10]: Yeah, fresh on the plane. You texted me, you were like, “Hey, I'm on my way to SF.” I was like, “You're on a plane right now, right?” Like, hey.Eiso Kant [00:00:16]: I know. After I texted you, I realized that probably coming in with major jet lag was gonna offer some fun experiences today, but let's do it.Swyx [00:00:23]: I mean, I think the thing I would tell guests is that they don't have to prepare that much because if you're truly working on this every single day, then even, like, what you hazily remember is going to be new for a lot of the audience that don't live in your world every day, right? so 10 years ago, you did a talk at Google Slush, talking about the democratization of AI. and, now here you are, like, open sourcing an incredible new model that we're gonna talk about. But I guess, like, what got you into democratization of AI? Like, it's not obvious from your LinkedIn or something.From Karpathy's RNN Post to SourcedEiso Kant [00:00:57]: No, it's not at all. I don't think it's obvious how I got in this space. I owe getting into this space to Andrej Karpathy.Eiso Kant [00:01:05]: In 2015, he wrote an article called “The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Recurrent Neural Nets.”Swyx [00:01:10]: Neural Nets, yep.Eiso Kant [00:01:11]: And that article, I read it, and I pivoted my startup at the time overnight to working on RNNs, and later LSTMs and Transformer models to be able to write code. If you go to this article and you scroll down, you can start seeing, like, this was the precursor to what ended up becoming language models. So, at least when he was character-level language models that were starting to predict letters, he has an example out here. There's a little Paul Graham generator, and you can read it, and the text makes sense, but it doesn't. and there's a little-- There's an example of code a little bit further down. Yeah, so Shakespeare.Swyx [00:01:47]: Shakespeare.Swyx [00:01:49]: CoolEiso Kant [00:01:49]: And for some reason, I read this, and I went down the rabbit hole of learning everything I could about RNNs and LSTMs, right? This is Transformer paper. And I had built a completely unreasonable belief, that neural nets should be able to generalize to anything and everything, and that language should be able to generalize, to a lot of things that are intelligent and the ability to write code. And so I started building Sourced, which was a fully open source company trying to build, what we used to call machine learning on code, language models on code. And we spent about four or five years on this, till the end of 2019. And that sounds really cool today, but back then, no one cared.Eiso Kant [00:02:29]: Right? Like, no one cared. We were in the dark. Like, we did things along the way. We tried applying convolutional neural nets to, like, the structure of code. We were. when attention came out, we were applying it to LSTMs, and then the Transformer paper came out. And it - it wasn't obvious, and what we missed throughout that entire journey, that we were on the right track, but we should have just kept scaling up. And today, to all of us, the scaling laws and scaling up seems like the most obvious thing. But having spent four or five years of my life on working on language models on code, it wasn't obvious. So I have a lot of respect to folks at Google and OpenAI and others who took that confidence and kept going. we failed ultimately at the time, and it was, like, biggest failure of my career, right? You blew $12 million of investors' money, which was a lot back then.Swyx [00:03:18]: Yep.Eiso Kant [00:03:19]: You spent, still a lot, but, And you spent years with, like, a group of 40 people just obsessing over this problem. And life took a different turn, And it was, and family became a focus, and I kept my heads down and really, didn't really look at language models for the following two years. big mistake considering Following years are gonna be really interesting. And then ChatGPT came out And it was like a vindication. It's like people started texting me. I found, like, my old, work decks and these old talks. And throughout that whole journey, we,ChatGPT, Vindication, and Returning to Open SourceEiso Kant [00:03:56]: We really had a strong point of view at the time that, like, as you're building more capable intelligence, it should be open and open source.Eiso Kant [00:04:04]: When we started Poolside, that wasn't the case at all, and I wanna be very open about it. When we started Poolside, we were like, there was a premise of two things. One is this technology is not gonna stop compounding in capabilities. I think to most people obvious today, but three-plus years ago when we started, most people were still arguing if these were stochastic parrots or not.Eiso Kant [00:04:23]: And the second was that reinforcement learning was gonna be the biggest driver for LLM capabilities. Today, very obvious. Three years ago, was not an opinion held or direction held at either OpenAI or Google or Anthropic or others. And so people looked down on us a little bit. They were like, “ is this really gonna work?” And so we just started working the problem, and we never really thought about open source again. We just kept our heads down and we built our, like, knowledge, understanding from scratch, right? We didn't roll out of an existing lab. So we picked up the papers and started writing code and figuring things out.Eiso Kant [00:04:59]: And it wasn't until the beginning of this year that me and my founder, Jason, picked up the open source conversation again.Eiso Kant [00:05:07]: And if you go back to some of the early things on our website, it was very straightforward. It was we wanna get to AGI, we wanna support a world of abundance, and we wanna be the first company that gets there.Eiso Kant [00:05:20]: But we started talking at the beginning of this year because it became obvious that the world was going in a direction that was starting to like, pick at us a little bit. Like, it didn't, this didn't happen overnight. It was, like, a little bit we were seeing this and we're like, “Okay, The world's going down a path.” And Throughout this journey, there was something that I used as a, as an analogy or thing. So I said well, if I go back to back in those days, 2015 or 2016, we're working on this, and I picked up a fi book off the shelf, and I was reading the book about 2035. AGI is achieved, and the story would be over the following, decades. And it would have that first chapter where everyone's trying to figure things out. You'd get the chapter of ChatGPT coming out And then you would get to the chapter where the world was at a fork in the road, and the one that it picked was one where three or four or a handful of companies were going to create all of intelligence moving forward.Eiso Kant [00:06:21]: And when I thought about that story, it felt like a dystopian fi book, not a utopian fi book. And the reality is, I'm a utopian fi guy. Like, and so We took a step back and said, “Hey, can we play a role here?” Now it was easy for us to do so because we were not at the frontier.Eiso Kant [00:06:41]: If we were at the frontier, I don't think we could have changed our mind. and I don't mean this like it's when the moment there's too much capital involved, too much expectations, you've built up things, right? We're a small team, just improving and improving. And so we knew that we could make that decision now, but it would be a lot harder to make as we got closer and closer to the frontier and caught up to others. And did a lot of soul-searching and a lot of conversations, and said, “No, this makes sense,” Even if there's big unanswered questions, like how the hell do you build a business model with foundation models about open source? Big open-ended question that we do not fully have the answer to yet, right? At what point do you no longer wanna release open source models because misuse of models has, real potential risks associated with it? how is the government gonna respond to open source? but I think it all just came down to one thing, and I'll stop the monologue, is the fact that I rather live in a world that has 100 foundation model companies than a world that has five, even if I was one of the five. And the smallest and most meaningful contribution we can make for 100 to exist is to open up our research and open up, like, our weights right now and figure out along the way how we can, like, do more.Neo-Labs, Model Choice, and the Token EconomySwyx [00:08:01]: Yeah. I think if anything, over the past three years, that has become a bit more true. you are one of a cohort of Neo labsEiso Kant [00:08:10]: YeahSwyx [00:08:10]: That people are now calling that. And, we're, we're doing this on the day that Thinky launched their, new model and you are outperforming them on their, on some benchmarks that they released, right? Like, they just don't have it yet. so it goes to show that I think, like, this is one of those things where, like, there is room for multiple players, and you are seeing a little bit more of the future. Maybe more like 20, not 100, but, like, you are one of the 20.Eiso Kant [00:08:36]: I really hope so, right? I think we I'm, I'm excited about their release, and I'm excited about everyone releasing because, like, ultimately, like, choice competition is both gonna drive progress in the right direction. But the fact that like, we create models and while we all, drink out of the same well of data effectively, we do introduce very different behaviors and biases in our models. Some are intended biases, some are completely unintended biases.Swyx [00:09:03]: Yeah.Eiso Kant [00:09:03]: And if we shape up in an ecosystem in the world where open models are gonna be a part of the token economy, like, I don't think there's any question about it anymore Then we want to be able to live in a world where companies, countries, people can choose and say, “Hey, I am most aligned and I trust most this provider for these things.”Swyx [00:09:25]: Yeah.Vibhu [00:09:26]: I think more than just one of the 20 Neo labs, up until recently, most of open source innovation was coming from the Chinese labs, right? So there's the DeepSeek of the West. Is it today? Okay, maybe it's thinking machines reflection, but there aren't many, right? So, one of the things you guys started in France, Europe, but very much now you're taking that American standpoint and more than just that, the point is the Chinese models that we see, they're not super open research. the work you put out is, I think, some of the best. So every few months you get not only frontier models, but also here's a breakdown blog, paper, technical report of here's everything for state of the art to build, frontier intelligence and you're filling that gap too, right? So not just only open weight, not just Western, but also pretty open research.Open Weights vs. Open ResearchEiso Kant [00:10:20]: No, I appreciate it. Look, I think it's, I think it's the most meaningful contribution, right? Weights are a binary. Let's call them what they are. Yes, we can modify them, we can change them, but, like, giving someone the weights does not allow them ultimately to recreate what you're doing, right? And so now there's challenges around releasing data sets, challenges around like releasing certain things, but being able to share your research, like, right, how do we do it? What are the lessons we learned that we spent, tens of thousands of experiments of compute on? I think very much so. One correction though, Vibhu, and I say this because it's been haunting us for quite a few years. We from day zero were an American company.Swyx [00:10:55]: Yeah. They movedPoolside's Global Team and American Company StorySwyx [00:10:56]: To France.Eiso Kant [00:10:56]: So the story once and for all is very. We start as an American company. We have always been an American company, and early on we made a very conscious decision. We said, “We're not gonna hire any researchers in the Bay Area. We're gonna look for talent everywhere else in the world.” and that is everything from Middle Americas, Seattle to, Serbia, and to Taiwan and Singapore and other places. And it was because we took a view that this was gonna become a talent war for this, and I think it has over the years now. Three years ago, that wasn't fully obvious yet. I think today it very much is. And we also realized that, like, some of the world's most capable people with, like, the most interesting, innovative ideas were not just gonna be here. And so it led us to create like a fully remote company. and we ended up opening an office in Paris and London and different places and we have a lot of the team in the US and a lot of team outside. But we always took this view of like, we're an American company, but if we want the best of the best to work with us, we need to take a global view. Now we do also have people here in Silicon Valley, like the company's grown and others, but I think one of the things that, it slowed us down at the beginning, but it has sped us up now, and it's why you're seeing like the progress, I think, on our models and the cadence at which we release, is because we didn't roll out of an existing lab. Right? we didn't, we didn't have a lot of the information that's freely flowing around here at the time. We just took this point of view as like, “Okay, well, let's just work the problem. Let's just go and, like, read the few papers that are out there, and let's just figure this stuff out.” And we made some hilarious mistakes in model training because of that over the yearsEiso Kant [00:12:35]: Like especially in the first 12 months. there's a few that I think still haunt me and scare me. We can talk about them later. but it created a, like, a resiliency and persistency in the team, right? with extremely few people have left us over the years, that, like, told us, “Okay, we can do this.” When we first wrote our first training code base completely from scratch, it wasn't a fork of any open source. It was just like, “Okay, let's build it from scratch.” I remember we had this one moment where we spent three weeks working out an optimizer bug. Like, it was like training just couldn't get stable. We, like, obsessed over it, and we thought, like, maybe we were wrong. Maybe we should have just forked this repo, or we should have. But then when we solved it, I still remember at the time we were like five people in the company. when we solved it, we were like, “Oh, we can do things,” like if we're just willing to work hard. and I think that culture with a very strong engineering bias has helped us, like, get to where we were. And so there's this notion of open source and talent and these things. I think we, We just took different decisions from a different starting point. and I think we are lucky. I do want to definitely call it lucky. And there was a lot of hard work at the team that now, like, that's starting to show up in results.Swyx [00:13:52]: Just ‘cause we probably won't revisit this again, but, and this is a fun recruiting challenge if someone knows the answer. What was the bug? And then we won't tell the solution, but we'An Optimizer Bug and the Value of Building From ScratchEiso Kant [00:14:01]: So the - This - You're gonna test my memory here,Swyx [00:14:04]: Oh, okayEiso Kant [00:14:04]: So but I thinkSwyx [00:14:05]: DirectlyEiso Kant [00:14:05]: I think I can recall. So if you, so if you look at, So if you take like Adam as an optimizer, you have epsilonSwyx [00:14:12]: YeahEiso Kant [00:14:13]: Which is, right, like in the denominatorSwyx [00:14:14]: Momentum and weights. YeahEiso Kant [00:14:15]: Is exactly, in the denominator. And at the time, if I recall, you looked at like the early Llama papers and things like that. People were juicing epsilon, like, quite a bit. Like, they were, like, adding, I don't know if it was E minus four or whatever, like a high value for epsilon.Eiso Kant [00:14:31]: And if you think about this during training, it's like a bit weird and counterintuitive that we're adding noise to our optimizer by just adding effectively, like, a random number in the denominator, right? Like behind the decimal point. And I don't recall the exact bug, but it had - What I remember is once we solved it, we no longer had to juice epsilon as much as, like, was happening in the Llama paper and other places. and it was like one of those fundamental moments where we had trusted this paper that was out there, and we're like, “Oh, no, it has to be this way. It has to have this high value of epsilon.” But it made no sense to us intuitively. Like, why do you have to have this so high? Like, if you're just trying to avoid division by zero, why can't the value be extremely small? and that was like one of those moments where you realize like, okay, finding things out from scratch yourself builds a better intuition. Because the one thing you learn very quickly with model building is that your intuitions that you start with are gonna get beaten up so hard.Eiso Kant [00:15:33]: Right? Like - It's such an experimental science, that the things that seem obvious, you very quickly get to learn, like, you were wrong, and hopefully you figure out why, and sometimes you don't even.Swyx [00:15:45]: Yeah. yeah, so, one of the reasons that you, when you released your new models, Vibhu got really excited. I mean, everyone got really excited. But Vibhu led our paper club on it, and you guys sawEiso Kant [00:15:58]: YeahSwyx [00:15:58]: Obviously. maybe talk through some lessons learned in that, whatever you can disclose. we can focus on the model factory stuff, whatever you think is a good starting point.Model Building as EngineeringEiso Kant [00:16:08]: So I would say that our view from very early on in the company was that model building is ultimately 90% engineering.Eiso Kant [00:16:18]: And I think we all know it in the industry because if you look at where's every researcher spending their time, they're spending their time writing code, right? Looking at data and writing code. And so we said, okay, The state at the moment, like three years ago, was bash scripts and Slurm and spaghetti code bases for training and, like, data pipelines that were patched together. And we looked at this and said, “Well, ultimately, model building is a process.” You're going from raw data, right? Like training raw material, the web, et cetera. you're doing a whole bunch of filtering, cleaning up, transformations, analyzing. These days, that's, far more complex than it was three years ago. then you're training a model, which is effectively a large distributed systems problem, right? Across hardware that has still-- It's become a lot more reliable. It was extremely flaky back then. and now with every new generation, we get our new sets of challenges. And then you go into the next stages, right? There was no training back then, but, like, you got, your post-training and then your reinforcement learning. And so we looked at this and we said, “Well, this looks like an industrialized process. This looks like an end process, that every single part of it has its machinery,” right? If it's your big data pipelines, if it's your crawling ingestion of the web, if it's your, large-scale distributed training, and then you've got your reliability. And we said, “Well, why don't we take some of the world's smartest distributed systems engineers that we knew and make them part of the process of research from day zero?” Not retrofitting it later on, but, like, really from the beginning. And that became our model factory. And so our model factory started with a handful of components. Today, it's thousands of components, and I try to equate it to, if you think about, like, someone who was at the very early days of Foxconn, if they had been there for the following, decade, they would be able to rebuild Foxconn because they saw every decision that led to building that system and all the complexity. If you and I walk into Foxconn today, no chance.The Model Factory and Experiment VelocityEiso Kant [00:18:18]: Right? Because we don't have the lineage and history of decisions that led to that. And so we built early on from the beginning- with a team that really understood that, well, the metric that we are optimizing for is the speed of an idea from a researcher to an experimental result that we can trust to then being part of the next model training.Eiso Kant [00:18:42]: And in the. And because it's such an experimental science, ultimately, in the beginning when it wasn't that complex, you could patch your way around it, right? But now, at any foundation model company, you are running. I mean, we're a small team, right? We're less than 70 researchers, another 35 engineers. and we are running, I haven't checked the latest count, but far more than 10,000, maybe 10 to 20,000 experiments a month that we cut. And so if you look at that scale of every model run that is, like it's ultimately it's, it's you need to be able to trust it as an infra problem. And so what we have now done over the years is gotten really good at that, and just by working it and improving it and obsessing over those end decisions. So now what that means is that you looked up Laguna XS 2 that we launched. It was five weeks from the beginning of training to launch. The model that we're gonna talk about today was eight weeks from start of training, to launch. We started the next model literally yesterday because we now finished the post-training required for the model we're launching, next week or by the time this comes out today. and we move that compute to the much larger Laguna M model that we're now training. And so the model should be an artifact of someone's process. It shouldn't be really a thing in itself. Like, and we treat this like the way you would look at like a SpaceX factory where, yes, the first rocket, really hard to build, but the much harder challenge was building the factory. And now they're rolling off, and no one is really thinking about the next launch anymore. So it's just another launch, it's another launch, another rocket comes off. And that's what we're trying to do with model building.Eiso Kant [00:20:22]: And what has been, which was not planned from day zero, it was in the back of our mind like this will happen one day, is that when you build a really good end model factory with really good APIs and really good engineering systems, Well, what is it perfect for? It's perfect for agents.Agents Inside the Model FactoryEiso Kant [00:20:40]: Because agents are now starting to take over more and more work in our model factory.Vibhu [00:20:43]: Yeah.Eiso Kant [00:20:44]: So I look at the screens when I walk, like when we're, we come together, in our monthly, we do monthly onsites, and I walk behind people's screens and I stop by and I talk to our researchers. And the default is all of these different agents running on their screen that are writing the code. They're launching the jobs. They're evaluating the results that are coming back from the model runs. They are, making the changes. And we're still in the driver's seat. We're still coming up with the ideas. We're still helping with the debugging. But more and more, and this is right now very profound on the data side of our pipelines in both pre and post and the synthetic data pipelines, it's starting to become more on the architecture side as well. You're starting to see these twinklings of what RSI is gonna look like.Eiso Kant [00:21:27]: And that's. So when we talk about, like to your question about our models, every talk about the model factory, And my coolest example of these things is always that when we kick off a new run, doesn't matter if it's a training like big run or if it's now a post, like one of 10 post-training versions we do for like release or many experiments, is that at any given moment, the changes that somebody made that they had experimental results from the day before make it into that run.Eiso Kant [00:21:57]: So there's not like a cutoff 90 days before. Like no, it's like literally from that moment because we can now trust the machine enough. And then you also have to invest in the reliability. So one of my favorite metrics about like Laguna S is that there was no call events, Right? Like completely zero. And we haven't had a meaningful call event, like something to wake up for, as far as I recall this entire year. now there is one asterisk to that. In usually the first six hours of launching a new model run, something breaks because you set a config wrong, you made a small mistake, et cetera. So that's usually there's a little bit of intervention, but that's always within like call periods, right? Not on call. And I think that's starting to now compound. So the model we're releasing now, I love it. It's amazing, but we're already onto the next one. and I think that's the way it should be.Laguna, Five-Week Builds, and Zero On-Call EventsVibhu [00:22:50]: Hey, I also just wanna point out, so for context, this was like a month ago. we found it in the tech report, so we just came in with, “Okay, new model's dropped. Haven't heard about it.” We wereEiso Kant [00:23:02]: Yeah, we're very used to doing this every few months.Vibhu [00:23:03]: We're, we're very much like, “ okay, look, it's like, on par with Kimi, DeepSeek, whatnot, the small ones, Gemma level. Oh, it's a very cool paper on what goes into building.” And then we hit this page, right? Like literally page two of tech report is, “This process allowed us to build the small model from scratch to delivery within five weeks applying the lessons”. And then I'm like, oh, this paper is not about here's a tech report of benchmarks and here's how many tokens it was trained on. Like for people that wanna dive more from what we're not gonna discuss on the podcast, it's all laid out here, right? FromEiso Kant [00:23:38]: YeahVibhu [00:23:39]: Custom software that agents can use to interface with training code, training data.Eiso Kant [00:23:45]: Yeah. Well, link the paper correctly, so yeah.Vibhu [00:23:47]: Yeah. All that stuff. read the paper here, but,Technical Report Principles and Streaming Training DataEiso Kant [00:23:50]: But I would like to. I love principles, and I think that is a good starting off point for maybe telling some stories. Maybe we can go one by one past the principles. I'll just call out that Dagster just got bought by a Prefect.Vibhu [00:24:01]: Yeah.Eiso Kant [00:24:01]: Isn't it fun? But yes, I'm very familiar with Dagster. just anything where like they trigger some story.Vibhu [00:24:07]: So, well, I would say, well, experiments code's obvious, but I think one of my favorite things is, I don't know where it is in here, but early on, and I still think this is the case a lot of foundation model companies, people prepare their training data sets, they get packaged up, then they get copied over to a training cluster distributed across all of the nodes, and then training starts.Vibhu [00:24:30]: And we looked at this like three years ago and we were like That makes no senseEiso Kant [00:24:36]: You lose so much time because the moment you have to rematerialize the data set, you have to make a change, you have to fix something, et cetera, you've got all this time of like repackaging it, right? Toca- tokenizing it, repacking it, moving it over to a cluster, then distributing it across the nodes. The bigger your clusters are, you start using fancy like torrent-like algorithms to like distribute your data. So why aren't we streaming data into training? Right? Something that's very common and like just basicVibhu [00:25:00]: Like just in timeEiso Kant [00:25:01]: Just in time, like good computer science like principle. And that was one of the first things that I think unlocked - the model factory. Because the moment you start thinking about, well, a training job, it doesn't matter if it's a big hero run or a small like, post-training experiment, consumes a certain number of tokens per second, right? And it's not a lot, right? From a like a data, moving data perspective. So we said, well, we have our training cluster, and then we've got like our AWS kinda setup where we can build these amazing big data pipelines. We can set things up. We use Spark underneath the hood, like all these things.Vibhu [00:25:36]: But when you say AWS, it's not actual AWS, it's your internal AWS.Eiso Kant [00:25:39]: It's our internal-- No, it's our internal like just running like our infrastructureVibhu [00:25:42]: Site web servicesEiso Kant [00:25:43]: Exactly. Our stuff running on like an AWS account or on like any hardware, right?Vibhu [00:25:47]: Yeah.Eiso Kant [00:25:48]: And so once we made that shift into I can stream data into training, all of a sudden you realize a lot of things unlock. Because now you don't have to wait for the whole data set to materialize.Immutable Data, Experiments as Code, and Scientific RigorEiso Kant [00:26:00]: You now all of a sudden when you're running data experiments about mixing data, it's a config. Because you've got these data sources that are coming in, and you just - we have this service called Blender that's in the report, where we then say, “Okay, for this run, I want 20% of this source, 10% of this source. I want this much, so many epochs of repetition. I want this to be, shuffled in a certain way,” and your training job can start while the rest of the data is even still materializing. also what it does is because all of this underneath-- So for us, we treated the data layer underneath as like an immutable data layer, and that was really important. Like experiments as code, immutable data layer means that you can always go back and understand literally down to the single token at which cursor it went in on which version of the code.Vibhu [00:26:47]: Yeah.Eiso Kant [00:26:48]: And it took us a I have to admit, like the first year of Poolside, we understood that engineering had to get great, But we didn't understand yet, that this is ultimately in support of like a good rigorous scientific progress. We were quite a - We were a very small number of people, so a lot of it was YOLO ideas and YOLO runs.Vibhu [00:27:08]: Yeah.Eiso Kant [00:27:09]: And we built great infra for the YOLO runs. But once we realized that we treated data as immutable and code as always versioned, and you could always track and trace every experiment end to end perfectly, you could repeat everything perfectly, right? You have perfect reproducibility. I can still reproduce runs from two years ago if I wanted to, right? It enables the scientific progress, like the scientific process, and I think that took us probably about a year and a half into the company to figure out. We also had some great hires, like our head of applied research, Nikolai, who joined us from Yandex, who'd been working on language models since like the early 2020s, I think brought that into the company of like, “Hey, we wanna have even more rigor.” And then once we kinda had the combination of like increasingly more capable platform that allowed people to do more, but had this immutability, we were able to start “Okay, every experiment is truly an ablation. We truly need to understand it.” And I think we became much more scientifically rigorous in the last couple of years, and the infra underneath enabled it. and then there's just fun stuff like, andVibhu [00:28:16]: Yeah, a lot of it's fun, like even just the, one, you share all the ablations, two, picking the data sets, right? There's like a random small paragraph in here where it's just like, “Oh yeah, training data, we have some, we have an auto mixer.” it trains eight small models, scales them up, picks the training data set. We don't even need to look at it. I'm like, “Wow, a lot of engineering rigor there.” And there's just, there's just a lot in here.Publishing Research and Giving BackEiso Kant [00:28:40]: Yeah, and it'- and look, and we wanna put out more. Like we, We treat writing papers as something that we haven't earned the right for yet for a long time. So you earn the right to spend time, publishing research once you're at the frontier, because until then, you're catching up, and every minute and hour in this industry matters. Like I obsess over it, not just the wall clock time from idea to result, but just general like time every day that we, waste is one that doesn't allow us to catch up. But in this case, we said, “Okay, we're gonna give ourselves.” I think we gave the team like three or four days while still doing their work, like give everything in there. And to your point earlier, if your stuff, it's easy to like put it out. And so there's so many more things that we wanna talk about over time, and we will definitely start doing. And as we earn more of the right, but also now have like added to our mission that we want more foundation model companies to exist, you'll see us like be way more proactive, and just trying to keep dropping some of those like things that we've learned along the way that can help others like speed up.Vibhu [00:29:40]: Which is the other cool side of this, right? It's, it's not like, back to your point, it's not just here's the benchmarks of our training. If you want to replicate, here's experiments of optimizers, data sets, post-training. you lay out a lot of it here alongside here's your system for how to do it? So it's, it's really like promotingEiso Kant [00:29:59]: No, thank youVibhu [00:29:59]: Other people can do the same.Eiso Kant [00:30:00]: And by the way, I also wanna make clear, right, we have been incredible-- Like we've taken a lot of advantage of the fact of all the open research that others have published, Right? And you mentioned, the Chinese labs, and we I think it's important that there's, from every country and every culture and background, including like Western companies like us, there's different models that come out that people can choose to trust. But I think we do have to give credit where credit's due, right? The incredible Chinese lab have done an amazing job at sharing their research, and we have definitely like been on the receiving end of taking advantage of that. So when you're on the receiving end of something coming to you, I think it's, you also have an obligation to give back.Swyx [00:30:39]: Do you have a favorite or underrated Chinese lab that you wanna shout out? Everyone shout outs DeepSeek.Chinese Labs, Zhipu, and PersistenceEiso Kant [00:30:44]: That's a good question.Swyx [00:30:45]: Moaan obviously for Therapsi. Yeah.Eiso Kant [00:30:48]: Yeah, look, I think, I think obviously everyone's been talking about Zhipu lately, with 5.2. I think what most people don't realize is when they started.Swyx [00:30:59]: Yeah.Eiso Kant [00:30:59]: Right? They started years before ChatGPT.Swyx [00:31:02]: They just rebranded. YeahEiso Kant [00:31:03]: And so, I've like, I remember how hard it was to work on these things Before the rest of the world got excited about it. And so I have an immense amount of respect for people, who were working on improving models when it wasn't the sexy thing to do, when believing in LLMs, was gonna get you ridiculed. I remember like back in 2016 when we were doing what we'd call, machine learning on code with some of these models. we would-- people would just laugh at us, like they'd be like, “This makes no sense. Like why are you wasting all these, like, millions of dollars on trying to figure this out?” And so I would say they're probably the one that, I think deserves a shout-out, not just because their latest model is very good, but because they fought to get here. And I think, I think every foundation model company it takes time to get here, right? It took us three years to get to the model that we're, that we're now gonna be releasing. and now the time in between the models is coming, is counted in weeks. It's no longer counted in months or years. But this stuff's hard. and if we can make it a little bit easier for the next person, like we should all do so. Because if we don't do so, we're, we've got a small window before models are really impacting recursive self-improvement to a level where catching up otherwise might become unfeasible. And we should try to, in that window, encourage as many labs or however we wanna call them, like to start. And so one of my currentEiso Kant [00:32:36]: Mission, but qualm is like I wanna encourage whoever is a researcher right now who thinks they can tackle this to go and leave and become my competitor.Eiso Kant [00:32:45]: Like start another foundation model company because I think we need it. I think otherwise we're not gonna be in the world where, I don't want to just be the fifth or the sixth company that wins. I wanna look at a world where there's lots of choice.Starting a Foundation Model CompanyVibhu [00:32:57]: What else do people not see in starting a foundation model? it's, there's a lot of compute, there's a lot of capital required, a lot of compute. You lay out model factory and how to do the training, but there's a lot there, right? That's,Eiso Kant [00:33:10]: Well, look, it's, I in turn-- this is an oversimplification, and I always asterisk it with that because it can land a little bit the wrong way in people's minds. But I think you can sum down, And I saw it, 95% of model building to just doing, you're just doing two things. You're improving data or you're improving compute efficiency. And I know that feels like an oversimplification for the incredible, like, Gifted and skilled work people do. But if you really look at it, like what are we doing? We are looking at data, we're generating new data, we're improving data. and the only way to do that is to look at the data, right? That's a big part of foundation model building. And on the other hand, we come up with these incredible breakthroughs in inference, in architecture, and new attention mechanisms. But what are they really doing? They're bringing compute efficiency. Now, we have definitely had some breakthroughs over the years that allow for more model capabilities. But at the limit, if you could train a large enough model, right, like, and you had infinite compute, we probably-- if you had infinite compute, you'd be at AGI probably already tomorrow.Eiso Kant [00:34:12]: Right? Like it's not. And so, and let me say that infinite compute with infinite ability of much faster networking because networking ends up being more of the bottleneck than compute. But, so I do think that's, those are the main things. And to just realize that this is engineering. I think it's become more obvious, but I think for quite a few years, people have held foundation model companies and researchers and others on this pedestal of like you're doing incredible magic or rocket science, or only like, Nobel laureate physicists can do this. And don't get me wrong, there are some really hard problems that need to be solved, but a lot of the work that all of us are doing on a day Is not sitting down trying to solve a math theorem. A lot of the work that we're doing is just really doing the basics right, writing good code, looking at data, improving it, running experiments, looking at plots, trying to see like, hey, trying to shape our intuitions. And a lot more people could be highly capable researchers. and I think that's, it feels far for people to do so. But I've seen in our own company, we've seen engineers become researchers because the model factory allowed them to be, have a much lower hurdle of running experiments and trying things. And one of the guys on our team who started as an engineer building our agents is a legit reinforcement learning researcher now, making real progress. and that happened in the span of like six months. that would've not been what I think most people assumed was possible, a couple of years ago.Swyx [00:35:46]: Yeah. I think one of the interesting moments is when you can self-host, like, if in a programming language, like if you can compile the language in the language, the equivalent is can you use your own tools, right? You have the pool CLI, you have your own models. presumably you're not only using your own models. There's no way. But like, what's that percentage over time?Laguna S, Persistence, and Behavioral GainsEiso Kant [00:36:10]: This is the first model that we're releasing that is starting to meaningfully contribute to our own work. It's not a it's not state-art model yet. Fable and other, they're, they're very capable models, but Laguna S Is really interesting. I'm gonna pull up the quote. Peng Ming, one of our heads of applied research, said something, last week as the model came out about 10 days ago, much better than we had hoped for or expected. And he said, I have the feeling that a lot of the gains in Laguna S come not from more intelligence, but more from different behavior, more verification, less taking things for granted, not declaring victory early, and being way more persistent. And to be honest, those are more predictive than raw intelligence for success in human also to some degree. And this was, he wrote me this on 5th of July on a Sunday, and it's been burned in my brain ever since because the Laguna S model, as you'll see it and why it does so well on benchmarks and why it does so well in using it on a day basis, is that it's just incredibly persistent. It reasons a lot. I do call that out. We have work to do on making it more efficient. We have to work to do on offering different reasoning modes. But this is the model that has been able to do things that I never thought it could do. A hundred eighteen billion 8B active model, which is not that large. It fits on a DGX Spark and still runs at, thirty, forty tokens a second on a Spark, is able to solve Erdős 397 independently. It's able to do complex programming tasks. It's able to. I asked it this morning to make me a Fi scanner without using any external libraries on my Mac, and it's, like, figuring out, like, the core WLAN API by really persistently trying to understand it without access to the internet. And more, I love vibe checking. I've probably spent eight to ten hours a day with this model for the last ten days.Eiso Kant [00:38:05]: I'm not exaggerating. I was on my eleven-hour flight yesterday. I spent ten hours reading trajectories and traces and, like, of the model.Eiso Kant [00:38:12]: And what I take away from it is exactly what Peng Ming said. We are gonna be able to squeeze so much more out of smaller models than I think we had imagined in the industry because, yes, there's intelligence and larger models are more intelligent. Like, no doubt about it. We should continue to scale up. but the behaviors of being really persistent, of being able to backtrack when you're wrong, of, like, understanding how to interact with your environment show us that we can get a lot more out of it. And this, for me, has created a bit of a Question in my mind the last couple of days. If you think about where we're using models today, right? We are using models, say, for knowledge work. Represents twenty-five percent of the global economy, twenty-five trillion dollars of work.Eiso Kant [00:39:00]: As we scale up models and they become more intelligent, we are excited about using them more and more for pushing the frontier of science.Small Models, Knowledge Work, and CommoditizationEiso Kant [00:39:08]: And if you look at the frontier of science, like true breakthroughs in science, they have been linked, they are linked to more intelligence in many places. Einstein figuring out general relativity is able to bring ideas together that other people would have not brought together. And I think one of the many dimensions of intelligence is the ability to do that, and it's something we clearly see that as models get larger and more capable, they're able to pull more ideas and threads together that a smaller model wouldn't be able to.Eiso Kant [00:39:36]: And we're starting to see examples of that in medicine and, like, in bio and other things. But if you think about the majority of knowledge work that we do, and it includes building software. I'm a software developer at heart first and foremost probably, although I probably can't say it that much anymore as I don't write production code in years, is that what makes us good is our persistence. It's our ability to encounter a problem and backtrack and say, “I need to go figure out this bug. I need to go research this. I need to go look at the documentation. I need to, like, try different, five different ways to see, like, if I can solve it.” But it is not necessarily bringing three ideas together from radically different fields. And so if we are now seeing, and I think Laguna S is an example, that we are able to make a relatively small model much more capable than I had definitely predicted or any previous, like, benchmarks had shown for any model remotely this size or even larger, At least on coding tasks, that it's because of the behaviors. And so now the question I have, and I don't have an answer, it is I know at the limit, so infinite model size, right, extremely large model, and the cost of that model is gonna be very expensive to run. We know this, right? So larger model ROI.Eiso Kant [00:40:52]: So I know that at the very limit, I'm not gonna use the world's largest model one day, quadrillion parameter, whatever crazy, like, scale we scale up, to do a basic coding task. Already today, I'm starting to size down for certain tasks.Eiso Kant [00:41:07]: So it means that there is an optimal. It means there's some curve that goes as we go up to model size for knowledge work, at some point we're at the peak, and after that, the return on investment of using a bigger model, just doesn't make sense.Eiso Kant [00:41:22]: Now, I think the question is, before I would have thought that peak was extremely very far away.Eiso Kant [00:41:30]: This model for me is the first sign that Maybe that peak is At a trillion, five trillion, ten trillion. Maybe we can just squeeze way more out of these models. I'm no longer thinking that we need two or three orders of magnitude on the largest models to be able to, solve knowledge work, the accounting, the legal, the code that we write. And so if that holds true, It is an argument for the commoditization of models. It's an argument that open source can win and, like, succeed in this world. And now it's of course a self-serving argument and it's a hopeful argument, but theoretically at the limit it works. We just have to go discover in the next couple of years of how much more we can squeeze out. Now, I do want to put a big asterisk. This does not mean I'm against scaling models. I think we ultimately only succeed if we scale our models as large as our competition. I do not like. I think we should not put our head in the sand and say we're gonna be king of open source small models. I think that's, It's a out. It's trying to be king of your own kingdom, but not realizing what the rest of the world's doing. All of us rather use a smarter, faster, more model. It's a sign of hope. And so I don't wanna overly state this is a good model. We have a long way to go to get to the state-art. But what hopefully people take away when they use this model is that the behaviors inside of it are what push it to be far more capable, less than necessarily the number of parameters.Pre-Training, Mid-Training, and RL Moving EarlierVibhu [00:43:03]: Is that mostly post-training? LikeEiso Kant [00:43:05]: YesVibhu [00:43:05]: Right.Eiso Kant [00:43:06]: It's entirely post-training.Vibhu [00:43:08]: Are we done improving anything on training? Is, like, training done?Eiso Kant [00:43:12]: No.Vibhu [00:43:12]: Okay.Eiso Kant [00:43:13]: SoVibhu [00:43:13]: I just wanted to cover training, and then we go post-trainingEiso Kant [00:43:15]: Training is not done. I mean, look, there's a part of training of just dealing with skill, right? Every new order of magnitude of model skill, you are going to get new things you gotta solve for. That'- but those are ultimately, engineering challenges.Eiso Kant [00:43:31]: I have a, I would say, a not commonly held opinion that reinforcement learning Will move earlier and earlier into training.Vibhu [00:43:42]: Yeah, training.Eiso Kant [00:43:44]: Not even training. Like training today, right, is, like if you look at - So we've been working on this for years already. and I think the best-- I think the first time we saw it out in public was the DeepSeek Zero paper. this is a year and a half ago, I think, if I recall correctly. where, you can Very early on in a model as it starts capable of being able to use language, et cetera, induce reasoning. and so the question that I have is like, we have this- we have the dataset that's the web. and the web, I think we could arguably say probably has The totality of humanity's knowledge somewhere encoded in different places. It's a huge variance degree of quality, from garbage data, and like once you look at training data, you really get humbled of like what the web is, to like, the most greatest scientific papers and best blog posts and like, best transcripts and whatnot.Eiso Kant [00:44:39]: And so now What we are trying to figure out, and have been doing a lot of work on, and it's a place where maybe not as open as we're on other things, but we will become more over time. we've been spending a couple of years really doing research on how can we turn the web into not just next token prediction, but into a way to teach the model to think earlier in its training. and I think there's a huge amount of gold to be found there. I think we are right now in, we've got some drugs in the industry. One of the drugs is distillation. Another drug is, more environments. Like, and they're great, and they make us feel good, and they make the models better, and like we're all addicted to them, and we'll use them, right? in various different ways. and but ultimately, I think we are still barely squeezing out of the web what we should be getting out of the web.Eiso Kant [00:45:33]: I think just next token prediction during training is not enough.Eiso Kant [00:45:36]: AndVibhu [00:45:38]: YeahEiso Kant [00:45:38]: I think we'll see some very interesting things still happen. and that RL in post-training to induce behaviors, to improve things, like I think - the whole world knows how to do this now. I think we're, we're scaling it up. Everyone is. But I wonder if we need to go as far as we're going today with environments. I'm not sure yetVibhu [00:46:01]: You mean we're going too far?Eiso Kant [00:46:02]: I'm, I'm not sure if the path to AGI is justVibhu [00:46:06]: Is more environmentEiso Kant [00:46:07]: More environments.Vibhu [00:46:08]: It seems like a never-ending, “Okay, I want instruction manual for this table, right? Am I gonna environment out building furniture? Or are we just gonna tail end like we need some general solution?”Eiso Kant [00:46:19]: I think there is, I think there's an ability to generalize more from the web. but I also am very encouraged, like when I look at Laguna S and, which is post-training is, well, is the big impact there. and I see like, oh, wait a second, just by making some of these behaviors much better, we're able to get so much more out of it. It just changes a little bit the way you think about intelligence.Vibhu [00:46:40]: Yeah. The analogy people draw often is the RL phase is where you don't learn as much new knowledge. You shiftEiso Kant [00:46:46]: Yeah.Vibhu [00:46:46]: Yeah. So, you shift distribution, and you can have it reason towards what you want. on your point about training, a lot of training is still just continue training in a domain, say medicine, then you do RL. So still justEiso Kant [00:47:00]: It's just better data, right? Like, I mean, training, ooh, I like how we invented this word. Like it's effectively just like,Vibhu [00:47:06]: Second phaseEiso Kant [00:47:07]: It's the second phase of training With like a really dumb way to do a curriculum. But like ultimately, what you'd want is a curriculum from token zero to token 30 whatever or 40 trillion tokens that really truly is the optimal curriculum for the model to learn. But training is essentially a stage curriculum on the web because we do not have to compute, And, effectively to try to ablate the perfect curriculum, right? And so I'm pretty sure that you'll start to see people talking soon about some other term, and there's two or - ‘cause now we do this, right? We talk stage two and stage three and stage four training and like. But ultimately, all we're doing is we're trying to assign a curriculum to the web data that we have to allow the model to learn better. I think at some point, as things get compute, as models get cheaper to run, as the next generations of compute, this will become more of a continuous spectrum. I also think the reason, by the way, you have training and like stage two and stage three is organizational, Right? It'- this is, I think, a thing where-- that we really try to avoid with the model factory is like Training exists because there's a training team now, right? There's people, or like people in training decide to focus on like a training effort. but what you really want is engineering and scale of experiments that allows for a much more continuous spectrum that you don't, you have infinite stages. Now, we're not there. Compute's not there. Organization design is not there for it yet. but I think we'll get there. we'll look back on a couple of years and be like, “Oh my God, it was so cute that we did our training data like this in such a like naïve way. Like we barely ordered it. We didn't really do a good job at likeCurriculum, Auto Research, and New ObjectivesVibhu [00:48:48]: The building that curriculum will get you that in the industry.Eiso Kant [00:48:51]: And I'll confirm that, when I talk to some researchers that this is a lot of the focus now is like how does training change and what is the next objective other than, next token prediction. I assume you don't have the answers, but you have some ideas.Vibhu [00:49:02]: We have some ideas. We're not ready to talk about it yet.Eiso Kant [00:49:05]: Yeah.Vibhu [00:49:05]: We've been working on them for years, and I think that's the one thing that's also like you asked earlier about, like what's not obvious about building a foundation model company is that you are constantly balancing the table stakes work, the recipe worksEiso Kant [00:49:19]: Yeah.Vibhu [00:49:19]: Versus like your, my crazyEiso Kant [00:49:22]: Pure researchVibhu [00:49:22]: Breakthrough.Eiso Kant [00:49:22]: Yeah.Vibhu [00:49:22]: Pure research and finding that balance and adjusting the percentage to it based on where you are in the race is really important.Eiso Kant [00:49:31]: I mean, so like, this is a nice way. I was gonna bring up auto research at some pointVibhu [00:49:35]: YesEiso Kant [00:49:35]: As another Andrej invention, or coinage, which is like, I honestly, like how many objective functions can there be, right? Like just try 1,000 of them, set it running, whatever.Vibhu [00:49:47]: Man, it's alsoEiso Kant [00:49:48]: Like what you're looking for. You're looking for loss curves like that, likeVibhu [00:49:51]: It's also a thing people take bets on, right? When you say more Neo labs, you're doing a version of we'll do foundation models, scale them up, next token predictors. A lot of other Neo labs that we see want to take a completely different approach, right? At some level, you're right. It's all, compute efficiency, and that's the net objective. But some are okay, different architecture, like vastly different amounts of compute spend. So some are different. They're not justEiso Kant [00:50:19]: YeahVibhu [00:50:19]: They're like, 99% not balancing, here's the vanilla and scale up. They're 99% on, here's novel research that'll change everything.Eiso Kant [00:50:27]: And I think, Luke, I think you. It depends when you started as well, right?Pure Research vs. Table StakesVibhu [00:50:30]: Yeah.Eiso Kant [00:50:30]: When we started, like the novel thing we did was reinforcement learning on code. No long- that's no longer novel by far, but we were like, - that's where we obsessed over when no one believed in RL. So you have to when you start the company, you have to have your own idea. You have to have something that's different that allows you to speed up, right? For us, it was RL to LLMs that later became common, like, Knowledge. But in the beginning, it wasn'tVibhu [00:50:53]: It's cool. this was like your original 2023 blogEiso Kant [00:50:57]: YeahVibhu [00:50:57]: Of purpose.Eiso Kant [00:50:58]: Yeah.Vibhu [00:50:59]: And like you do lay it all out here.Eiso Kant [00:51:01]: We laidVibhu [00:51:01]: The blog is pretty underrated, right? The whole RL on code was very early on.Eiso Kant [00:51:06]: Very early. And even we had to argue with people, like we say here things like to push beyond current capability, to train your own foundation model. We had to argue with people that it mattered that you had your own like, base model. you can fine-tune your way to success, right? major capabilities emerge from training a base model made accurate and useful during fine-tuning.Vibhu [00:51:23]: Which like, for perspective at the time, we knew closed models, OpenAI, Anthropic were huge. The open models we had were like Mistral 7B, a 30B, a 70B.Eiso Kant [00:51:35]: When weVibhu [00:51:35]: YeahEiso Kant [00:51:36]: The date on this thing is wrong. When we published this, it was April 2023. I think this was justVibhu [00:51:42]: YeahEiso Kant [00:51:42]: Happened on a migration, probably found it on archive.org.Vibhu [00:51:45]: Mistral.Eiso Kant [00:51:46]: Mistral had started, we started on the same month, right?Vibhu [00:51:49]: Yeah.Eiso Kant [00:51:49]: So this wasn't even, there was only, I think, Llama out at the timeVibhu [00:51:52]: SnellEiso Kant [00:51:52]: And that's it, right? And so, but I agree. I think we wan

When you start homebrewing, it usually begins with a specific obsession. For this week’s guest, that obsession was a total lack of great, accessible Saisons in his local market, so he did what any passionate brewer would do: he eventually bought the whole homebrew supply shop! I am so delighted to sit down with Joshua Lord, the owner and brewer at The Brew Depot over in Alpharetta, Georgia. We’re diving deep into his journey from passionate hobbyist to taking the reins of a premier brick-and-mortar hub, and discussing exactly how he’s working to lower the barrier of entry for new brewers while helping us all get closer to our raw ingredients.

Y’all – the streak of bad luck has been broken! To catch you up to speed, in case you don’t know what I’m referring to… I started off 2026 with a goal to offer premium clones of OG craft beer legends for our Trub Club members AND also nab interviews with the people and/or the brewers behind those legends. In January, we brewed a Shiner Bock and interviewed Shiner brewmaster, Greg Hybner. In February, we brewed a Real Ale Fireman’s 4 clone and spoke with their founder, Brad Farbstein. Then, in March, I felt like the king of podcasting because I got an interview with Russian River living legend, Vinnie Cilurzo. I was on top of the world… and then… Boston Beer big timed me. Then, Sierra Nevada ghosted me. But that ends today because the good people at Boulevard Brewing stepped up and sent their best to be a guest on this week’s show.

Anarchism is not what they made you believe.Catherine Bleish Bonandin spent two decades in the freedom movement, got arrested twice, was profiled by the Southern Poverty Law Center, and eventually walked away from frontline activism after a police officer added her name to a monitoring list while she was raising an infant.She now produces Anarchapulco in Mexico and Liberpulco in Serbia, and partners with Liberland. She lives on Greenbriar, a consensus-based intentional community in Texas, where she homeschools her kids and teaches Game of Village.Her story starts as a Ron Paul delegate at the 2008 RNC, learning she was being handed chant cards like a movie extra. What came after is the part most podcasts skip: fusion centers, FBI provocateurs in Austin activist circles, and the slow recognition that "agitator" was a role she had to retire from.Greenbriar runs on consensus, accountability, and the four agreements.

Hosts: Ed Jones (Owner – Nutrition World) & Clint Powell A variety of topics all related to living a healthy life Presented by: Nutrition World www.nutritionw.com Broadcasting from the Nooga Dentistry Studio www.noogadentistry.com Production of: Whitfield Media Group www.vitalhealthradio.com Title: Breakthrough Treatments for C Diff with Guest Dr. Oscar, Kiwi for Bowel Regularity with Julia from Enzymedica [0:00:00] Opening, Banter, and Announcements Ed plugs an upcoming podcast episode on heartburn with Julia from Enzymedica, explaining simple steps to get off PPIs (proton pump inhibitors) safely. MMA fighter sponsor shout‑out Discussion of Chance, an 8–0 MMA fighter who works at Nutrition World's warehouse. Upcoming fight at Camp Jordan in July; Nutrition World is a sponsor. Ed describes Tallow House in Cleveland: Burgers cooked in tallow Sourdough buns, high-quality ingredients Comparison to seed oils, stating tallow is preferable, though any fat can be overdone. Setup for today's show / guests Dr. Oscar – discussing a “revolutionary” next‑generation probiotic based on a super donor / fecal transplant science. Julia from Enzymedica – discussing constipation and digestive enzymes. [0:08:56] Gut Microbiome & Origin of the MET Probiotic Ed reiterates the show's philosophy: better aging means adding strength, clarity, mobility, and energy to existing years. Emphasizes his longstanding passion for the gut microbiome and how cluttered/confusing that field is. Ed welcomes Dr. Oscar and frames the topic as a truly unique/probably revolutionary probiotic advance. Personal story: Ed's father died from C. diff about 20 years ago. C. diff often triggered by antibiotics, then treated with more antibiotics → vicious cycle. Ed wanted to give probiotics/Saccharomyces boulardii; doctor was lukewarm but allowed it. How the product started (C. diff & FMT) – Dr. Oscar Traditional fecal microbiota transplants (FMT): Helpful for C. diff, but risky for immunocompromised patients. Concerns: pathogens, genetic material, and “yuckiness.” Microbial Ecosystem Therapeutics (MET) A company developed an alternative: MET, using a single “super donor”. Process: Select a rigorously screened donor with a healthy microbiome, no gut issues. Extract unique anaerobic bacteria. Use lyophilization (freeze-drying) to remove the fecal material and problematic components, leaving a purified community of bacteria. Result: a blister‑pack capsule containing live anaerobic strains that can engraft in the gut. C. diff trials and efficacy Comparative trials (MET-1 / MET-2) vs. fecal transplants for C. diff: MET formulations performed as well or better than FMT in some outcomes. One MET‑based product has already been used specifically for C. diff. Transition to functional / preventive use The MET company partnered with Designs for Health and Guelph University (Ontario). After years of research and clinical work, they created a five‑strain formulation used in the Designs for Health product. Claim: these five strains regulate roughly 85% of metabolic and immune functions influenced by gut bacteria. [0:14:47] How this Probiotic Differs from Traditional Probiotics Ed underscores: Thousands screened to identify an optimal super donor with best diversity. Human‑sourced strains → high compatibility with human physiology. Wants clarification on aerobic vs. anaerobic differences and why they matter. Traditional probiotics vs MET strains – Dr. Oscar Traditional probiotics: Often from exogenous sources (fermented dairy, industrial fermentation, etc.). Usually Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium etc. They are generally transient: Work while you take them. Poor ability to engraft and persist once discontinued because they're not native to the host. Still useful (like eating salad: benefits only while you keep consuming them). Human‑derived MET strains: Sourced from a human donor, recognized by the body as “self‑like.” Have co‑evolved with humans over long timeframes. Function as an “accessory organ system”: E.g., certain strains stimulate the production of new cells. Specific strain examples Akkermansia: Consumes mucin in the gut lining. Produces metabolites that activate stem cells and progenitor cells, leading to new cell formation in the gut. Other strains have specialized roles: Ferment food. Create an anaerobic environment. Modulate immune responses. Oxygen & anaerobes, “crowding out” pathogens Healthy human colon = low‑oxygen (anaerobic) environment. Certain beneficial strains (e.g., Roseburia) help remove oxygen: They create conditions where anaerobic commensals thrive. Pathogens and opportunistic bacteria that prefer oxygen are crowded out, not killed with antibiotics. Clinical observations: Pre‑ and post‑testing show reductions in overgrowth bacteria when taking this formulation. This suggests a “crowding out” approach vs. broad‑spectrum microbial killing. Terrain theory & engraftment duration Ed references terrain theory (Antoine Béchamp): improve the internal environment to resist disease. Engraftment data: Early engraftment seen in ~2 weeks. MET C. diff studies showed strains persisting up to 6 months. Key dependency: diet and “fertilizing” the microbiome. Good fiber, colorful plant foods, polyphenols → support long‑term survival. Threats: alcohol, glyphosate, long‑term antibiotics, stomach acid meds, narrow macro diets (strict keto, carnivore, low‑FODMAP) without adequate diversity. Solutions for narrow diets: add prebiotic fibers, greens/reds powders. Dosage & synergistic use with other probiotics Ed confirms he's taking one capsule per day of the Designs for Health product labeled “Next Generation Multi‑Strain Probiotic” and tolerating it well. Dr. Oscar: One cap is enough Emphasis on quality of the seed, not quantity (CFU count). High‑quality engrafting strains self‑propagate as long as diet supports them. Synergy with other probiotics: Example: Lactobacillus produces lactate, which serves as a food source for some MET strains. Hypothesis: traditional probiotics may have better persistence and function when the MET strains are present. Ed notes: Very high‑strain blends (20+ strains) may have unknown “infighting.” In contrast, a single donor community has already proven internal compatibility. Where to learn more Designs for Health website: designsforhealth.com Search “Complete Commensal” for patient education materials. Note: two of the strains have never before been available in commercial probiotics due to encapsulation challenges with strict anaerobes; newer technology solved this. [0:33:14] Constipation, Enzymes, Kiwi Regularity (with Julia from Enzymedica) Introducing Julia with Enzymedica Julia is a long‑time educator (20+ years) in the natural health industry. Ed compares clinical experience in natural health to a physician needing years of patient contact beyond textbooks. Julia: First-line advice – don't rely on stimulant laxatives Avoid over‑the‑counter stimulant laxatives except in rare, urgent situations. Chronic use irritates the bowel and makes it dependent, reducing natural motility. Foundational step: chew your food & nervous system calm Proper chewing: Activates salivary amylase and lipase (carb and fat‑digesting enzymes). Signals stomach acid secretion and subsequent digestive steps. Ed notes: Most people eat while on their phones, in a rushed state. He tries to pause for ~1 minute before eating to reset. Good digestion starts even with thought and sight of food. Why constipation happens & normal frequency Normal bowel frequency: At least once daily, ideally 2–3 times/day. Some people report going only once a week, which is problematic. If food is not broken down properly: The body delays gastric emptying and slows peristalsis. Leads to constipation, gas, and bloating. Digestive enzymes: Help break food down. Improve signal timing for stomach emptying and intestinal motility. Provide relatively rapid symptom relief (gas, bloating, heavy stomach). Symptoms of delayed gastric emptying Can manifest as: Heaviness (“rocks in my stomach”). Minimal or absent bowel movements. Bloating, gas, occasional heartburn, and nausea. GLP‑1 drugs (e.g., Ozempic and similar): Work partly by slowing gastric emptying. Can exacerbate pre‑existing motility issues. Digestive enzymes are compatible and can help. Enzyme basics & age Humans make tens of thousands of enzymes, but production declines with age. This explains why people often say: “I used to be able to eat X, and now I can't.” Gut–brain link & psychological burden Many neurotransmitters (or their precursors) are made/processed in the gut: Serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, etc. Poor gut function → can influence mood, sleep, appetite, social drive. Constipation/diarrhea leads to stress, anxiety, fear of leaving home (e.g., unpredictable loose stools). Kiwi Regularity: a non‑stimulant “regulating” approach Product: Enzymedica Kiwi Regularity (chewable). Based on a concentrated kiwi extract, not a harsh laxative. Works in both directions: Helps people who can't go (constipation). Helps bind loose stools (diarrhea/urgency). Gently supports motility and microbiome over time. Miralax concerns Ed and Julia criticize chronic use of Miralax: Widely prescribed, even for children. Kiwi Regularity: Gentle, non‑addictive, appropriate for: Children. Pregnant women (though labeling can't state it due to regulations). Works long‑term and supports microbiome. Shown in 4‑week studies to: Increase commensal Bifidobacteria. Support Akkermansia and butyrate production. Butyrate nourishes colon cells and supports gut barrier. [0:43:01] Practical Enzyme Use, Histamine, and Product Recommendations Industrial vs human‑oriented enzymes Many enzymes on the market were originally developed for industrial uses. Enzymedica (since 1998) focused specifically on human digestive enzymes and research. Emergency backup vs daily habits Ed shares a travel anecdote: Severe constipation scenario solved with a Fleet enema while out of town. Enemas are non‑addictive, suitable for rare emergencies. Emphasizes hydration and magnesium: Magnesium (especially certain forms) helps pull water into the bowel. Regular use of magnesium oxide solely as a laxative is not ideal; better to use more balanced forms (e.g., magnesium glycinate). Most people over ~30 benefit from enzymes Declining enzyme production with age + modern diet → strong case for broad digestive enzyme support. Histamine & DAO enzymes Enzyme DAO (diamine oxidase) can help break down histamine from food. It's typically porcine‑sourced. Crucial caveat: Must pair with a low‑histamine diet; enzymes alone won't fully overcome high‑histamine intake. Gluten‑digesting enzymes limits Gluten enzyme products can help with cross‑contamination or minor slip‑ups. They are not a license to eat full gluten-rich meals (like a whole pizza) with impunity. Which Enzymedica product for the “average American diet”? For “standard” American eating patterns (larger, richer, mixed meals): Digest Gold: Enzymedica's most potent formula. Suited for heavy or complex meals, people early in their digestive-health journey. For somewhat cleaner / smaller meals: Digest Complete: Slightly smaller capsule, still potent. Good for those who have already improved diet somewhat. Enzymedica's research shows digestive enzymes also support microbiome health, not just symptom relief. In the broader health context, Both Julia and Ed highlight: Modern environmental and lifestyle burdens (glyphosate, EMFs, etc.). Need for foundational supports: enzymes, probiotics, microbiome‑friendly diet. Where to learn more Website: enzymedica.com Contains educational articles, research summaries, and product info. Ed notes Enzymedica has extensively trained Nutrition World staff on enzymes, heartburn, slow/fast transit, etc. [0:55:36] Final Segment Ed references a study: A single course of antibiotics can alter gut microbiome for years, affecting digestion, immunity, and metabolic health. Most recover within first two years post‑antibiotics, but not fully without support. Reaffirms importance of probiotics and enzymes on the “first page” of gut health tools.  Balanced view on medicine Acknowledge a time and place for antibiotics and conventional care (e.g., pneumonia, UTIs). Stress avoiding reflexive decisions based on fear; consider pros/cons, then act. The post Radio Show / Podcast – June 28, 2026 first appeared on Vital Health Radio.

ER: "Ambush"What could make a tense hospital drama known for its realism and practical effects be even more challenging? Airing an episode live! We're talking about perhaps the most famous episode of the seminal series ER, where a documentary crew ambushes the doctors on a particularly busy night, and the east and west coasts watched it unfold in real time. We talk about the anxiety of medical dramas, Alex Kingston's very British introduction of Dr. Corday, an awkward HIV scene, and whether it's worth throwing out narrative strengths to deliver on an artistic gimmick.⁠Check out our new variety podcast feed Glitterjaw Presents!⁠A proud part of⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Glitterjaw Queer Podcast Collective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tip us on Ko-Fi⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Gimmicks Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠gimmickspodcast@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Theme song:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠"Disco Tears" by Raven⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Creative Commons Attribution 3.0⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Glitterjaw Presents trailer song: “⁠Happiest Days⁠” by Three Chain Links.

The Goblin King is revealed…but is it a satisfying twist? We try to untangle this show's attempt at a Goblin identity mystery – which involves sweet Harry Osborn building a weapon of mass destruction (!!!) – and whether or not it works. What does work, though? The emotional conflicts between Peter, Harry, and Otto, the Spider-Women on their own adventure, and the use of seemingly standalone episodes from this season. Also, the vital importance of “BRAH”!We're watching Spider-Man (2017): Season 2, Episode 24: “Goblin War, Part Two”.Check out Glitterjaw's new variety show, Glitterjaw Presents!Website⁠ | ⁠Patreon⁠ | ⁠Discord⁠Part of The Glitterjaw Queer Podcast CollectiveContact us: @WallopingWebPod on ⁠Bluesky⁠ and ⁠Instagram⁠Email: ⁠wallopingwebsnapperspodcast@gmail.com⁠Theme song features: ⁠“Resonance (Cyan & Ladybot Remix)” by HOME⁠ | ⁠License (CC BY 3.0)⁠Glitterjaw Presents trailer features: “Happiest Days” by Three Chain Links.

The final arc of the season begins in 2017's Spider-Man, and it involves a whole army of tech-based Goblins, the Spider-Girls on their own investigation with Peter Parker as their prime suspect, and FINALLY the return of our favorite Harry Osborn! Was his prolonged absence worth it? We continue to be broken records about the disastrous misuse of Miles Morales, Max Modell being an absolute dick despite still being hot, and Peter continuing to be awful about not communicating with his friends.We're watching Spider-Man (2017): Season 2, Episode 23: “Goblin War, Part One”.Check out Glitterjaw's new variety show, Glitterjaw Presents!Website⁠ | ⁠Patreon⁠ | ⁠Discord⁠Part of The Glitterjaw Queer Podcast CollectiveContact us: @WallopingWebPod on ⁠Bluesky⁠ and ⁠Instagram⁠Email: ⁠wallopingwebsnapperspodcast@gmail.com⁠Theme song features: ⁠“Resonance (Cyan & Ladybot Remix)” by HOME⁠ | ⁠License (CC BY 3.0)⁠Glitterjaw Presents trailer features: “Happiest Days” by Three Chain Links.

Together, we examine Kundalini as a measurable nervous system phenomenon, how the spiritual community and scientists jump to causes they can't prove, why the placebo effect might be the most ignored truth in modern medicine, the Ancel Keys fraud, manifestation as both biology and something more, and what it means to increase love into a system designed to make you feel helpless.You'll Learn:[0:00] Introduction[13:51] The Ancel Keys fraud that built decades of saturated fat dogma[24:49] How 4 adult rabbits became the safety proof for infant vaccine adjuvants[32:05] Is consciousness created by the brain or expressed through it?[49:17] What neuroscience says about kundalini and why it's not just woo[58:47] A Law of One dream, a vibrating awakening, and a message about Ra[1:04:57] Why spiritual people jump to esoteric causes too fast, and scientists miss the metaphysical[1:26:30] The Tanganyika laughter epidemic and what 204 contagion studies found[1:31:37] Why going pre-med while knowing the system's corruption is the harder path[1:38:34] German New Medicine, cancer, and how belief itself becomes the cure[1:48:36] Service to self versus service to others and the 51% threshold for polarization[1:54:35] Why fighting darkness with darkness fails, and love is the only real weapon[2:10:07] Skepticism about government UFO disclosureRelated The Way Forward Episodes:The Hidden Meaning of The Law of One: Densities, Love & Humanity's Evolution | Edmund Knighton | YouTubeResources Mentioned:Neuroscience of the Epstein Files by Brandon's Brainwave | InstagramSecret of Light by Walter Russel | Free PDFThe Surrender Experiment by Michael A.

The final episode of Demisexual is here! And for the first time in the miniseries, Demi isn't the main character. But where does this performance fit in our Demisexual Rankings? You'll have to wait until the end of the episode to see. "The Angels are charged with finding a pair of missing rings that are encoded with the personal information of members of the Witness Protection Program. As informants are killed, the ladies target a rogue agent who might be responsible." (Sourced from Letterboxd).  Over in the Pop Corner, we talk Tiny Bookshop, Battlestar Galactica (2004-09), Mother Mary, Backrooms, The Christophers, the recent Wellington Film Society mini-festival, and Olivia Rodrigo's new album you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love (which Cass can confirm she has also listened to now and also thinks is great, especially the first part).

What would you do if a rogue star was about to collide with Earth? Oh, and also there's a giant walrus for some reason! We're tackling Ishirō Honda's lesser-seen high concept sci-fi film about the far future of 1980 and a kind world overcoming borders and politics to literally move the planet. But can a disaster movie work without any interpersonal or human conflict? We talk about the strange dullness of this film, random amnesia, Honda's commitment to authentic science, and of course the top-notch Tsubaraya effects.Check out Glitterjaw's new variety feed, Glitterjaw Presents!Part of⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Glitterjaw Queer Podcast Collective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cover Art Gallery⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Discord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠skreeonkpodcast@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Theme song:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠"BIO WARS - Synth Cover" by Kweer Kaiju⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Glitterjaw Presents trailer song: “Happiest Days” by Three Chain Links.

Both of them walked away from systems that promised answers, Liev from licensed therapy, Jacob from organized religion, and ended up somewhere most practitioners never reach. Liev is a biochemist-turned-terrain educator whose work focuses on unlearning modern misconceptions and returning to simplicity. Jacob is a terrain-based Naturopathic Physician practicing in Queens, NYC, and the creator of the UnderCoverVirologist platform.Our conversation moves through Lyme, mold, AIDS, Crohn's, herpes, and the diagnostic loopholes that keep people cycling through tests until they find one that sticks. Along the way: why antibiotics appear to work, what helminth therapy reveals about deworming, and why translocation gets mistaken for transformation.Underneath it all is a thread about faith, coherence, and what changes when you stop trying to fix yourself.You'll Learn:[0:00] Introduction[7:53] The Jesus message that arrived mid-podcast[14:38] My daughter throwing up coagulated blood through a German new medicine lens[23:53] The Mandela effect, the black raven, and why the Bible keeps changing[40:09] The cat with four white paws and what suffering actually means[47:24] Praying with the cop who pulled me over for going 74 in a 55[55:03] How Liev tried to disprove Kaufman and ended up unleashed by his professors[1:08:31] Why boiling toxic water works, and what Pasteur got fundamentally wrong[1:26:52] Why chronic Lyme is a made-up diagnosis, and mold only heals in the forest[2:10:38] What herpes, AIDS, and STDs actually are, and why the cover story held[2:33:54] Why removing parasites causes disease, and what fenbendazole really doesRelated The Way Forward Episodes:Rethinking DNA: Examining the Evidence featuring Dr. Tom Cowan | YouTubeResources Mentioned:Dissolving Illusions by Suzanne Humphries | BookBitten by Kris Newby | BookThe Emperor's New Virus | DocumentaryFind more from Jacob and Liev:Jacob Diaz, Terrain U.V. | WebsiteLiev Dalton, Beyond Terrain | Website | YouTubeFind more from Alec:Alec Zeck | Instagram | XThe Way Forward | InstagramDonate to The Way Forward here.The Way Forward is Sponsored By:PaleoValley: 100% Grass-Fed Bone Broth Protein is a nutrient-dense, easy-to-digest source of collagen and essential amino acids.

Jenna offers a coaching program for men who want to understand what's underneath the patterns they've been carrying and actually work through them.You can start with a free consultation on her website.If you're a circumcised man and rage, unworthiness, or the need to prove yourself runs your life, this conversation is for you.On October 26, 2023, Jenna McClelland woke up sobbing from a dream so vivid she couldn't move. In it, she watched a newborn boy being circumcised, and the baby locked eyes with her. That moment became the origin of what she now calls the first circumcision healing program for men.Jenna explains what happens during the procedure, what tissue is removed, and why she sees it as one of the least examined forms of trauma in modern culture. She estimates around 3,000 babies are circumcised daily in the U.S. alone.The deeper focus is on how this experience may shape the adult male psyche. She connects it to patterns around worth, attachment, and the internal drives many men struggle to name. She also argues that physical restoration alone doesn't address the underlying imprint.You'll also hear the parts often left out: the role of industry, ongoing religious practices, limited reporting on complications, and why she believes the conversation is beginning to shift.Some of this is difficult to hear, but it offers a clear perspective on why the topic reaches far beyond the procedure itself.You'll learn:[00:00] Introduction[03:29] What pulled a woman deep into the most unspoken taboo in men's health[14:53] Debunked claims, global statistics, and what really happens in that room[32:08] The cellular imprint left on every circumcised man and the mother wound it creates[41:50] The matrix man: how society programs men to chase a standard they can never reach[53:407] Trauma as a living entity and how it spiritually amputates a man's power[01:06:47] Everything that's actually removed and the medieval decision to take even more[01:14:59] How demonic forces infiltrated religion and what those rituals still look like today[01:33:49] The real reason so many circumcised men fear knives and share the same nightmare[01:37:05] Billion-dollar industries that need circumcision to keep existing[01:43:09] From the four venomous dragon heads to vertical alignment; Jenna's healing framework[02:02:16] Intact men suffer too: the global pandemic of genital shame nobody talks aboutRelated The Way Forward episodes:Blindfold Vision, Luminous Children & The New Way of Being with Dr. Edith Ubuntu Chan | YouTube Find more from Jenna:Jenna McClelland | InstagramJenna McClelland | YouTubeFind more from Alec:Alec Zeck | InstagramAlec Zeck | XThe Way Forward | InstagramDonate to The Way Forward here.The Way Forward is Sponsored By:PaleoValley: 100% Grass-Fed Bone Broth Protein is a nutrient-dense, easy-to-digest source of collagen and essential amino acids.

Throwback Thursday (Originally aired: 8/18/25)Bunnie Xo sits down with Martin Riese, America's first certified water sommelier, to unpack the myths, science, and politics behind what we drink. Bunnie shares her own viral “water debacle” and what she learned from testing different sources, while Martin breaks down the subtleties of water taste profiles, the role of TDS (Total Dissolved Solids), and the environmental toll of bottled water. Together, they clear the air on false claims about Mountain Valley's arsenic levels and stress the need for transparency and fact-checking in the industry.Martin also calls out the dangers of multi-level marketing schemes, debunks the rumor that sparkling water causes cancer, and highlights how basic chemistry and proper filtration can make all the difference. He taste-tests Saratoga, Mountain Valley, and even a rare 2,000-year-old Australian water with 1,300 TDS, while critiquing Perrier's lack of transparency. Along the way, he explains why RO systems and shower filters are worth the investment, and why America needs to improve its water infrastructure instead of relying solely on bottled brands.The conversation wraps with Martin previewing his upcoming app, Sourced, which will offer free, reliable water education, and a reminder to approach water debates with compassion, curiosity, and a commitment to the facts.Martin Riese: WebsiteWatch Full Episodes & More: YouTubeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It became clear to me that extrasensory perception may be less about rarity and more about the sensitivity that many of us have learned to suppress.Her work is grounded in a life shaped by deep personal experience, including raising a neurodivergent son, which has expanded her understanding of communication beyond words in a very real way. What stood out is how animals and even children appear to access emotional and mental information through what we might call the human biofield, offering a different perspective on intuition and connection.Healthy skepticism matters here, especially in a space where discernment is important. Animals responding to human emotional patterns and children sensing things before they are spoken suggest a broader model of consciousness that many people are beginning to reconsider.You'll learn:[00:00] Introduction[03:26] What Ditte knew as a child that her friends didn't, and what the animals she's worked with have taught her[16:02] Animals perceive far more of your field than you realize, and that's precisely what makes telepathy so threatening to people[22:22] How domestication changes an animal, and the personality profile system Ditte built to decode their behavior[44:35] Why losing a sense might be the fastest path to gaining one, and how Ditte trains people to trust what they receive[53:50] The integrative veterinary clinic that got shut down and what it says about where medicine still refuses to look[59:33] Your pet's illness might not actually be about your pet[01:06:53] What animals understand about death that we don't, and how the afterlife works according to the ones Ditte has spoken with[01:21:49] Whether modern technology is killing our ability to connect or gently awakening itResources mentioned:Florida Man Claims Dolphins Kidnapped Him and Forced Him to Build an Underwater City | YouTubeFind more from Ditte:Ditte Young | YouTubeDitte Young | InstagramDitte Young | FacebookDitte Young | TikTokAnimal Telepathy Masterclass | Online Course Telepathy Masterclass For Parents | Online CourseFind more from Alec:Alec Zeck | InstagramAlec Zeck | XThe Way Forward | InstagramDonate to The Way Forward here.The Way Forward is Sponsored By:PaleoValley: 100% Grass-Fed Bone Broth Protein is a nutrient-dense, easy-to-digest source of collagen and essential amino acids.

Her work ranges from creating hemp-derived body care and nutritional products to founding a terpene-focused aromatherapy company and the first hemp-based spa, all rooted in a broader view of sustainable health.We get into how epigenetics reframes the idea that genetics are fixed, and why expression is constantly shifting moment to moment. Dani explains how cannabinoids, terpenes, and other plant compounds influence cellular communication, and why focusing only on THC misses the larger picture.This conversation opens up a deeper look at coherence in the body, the role of plant intelligence, and how understanding your biological blueprint can change how you approach healing.You'll learn:[00:00] Introduction[08:18] What cannabis represents, and why it was buried by corporate interests[15:21] How THC is chemically turning men into passive, apathetic versions of themselves[22:44] When Dani got started, and the stage-four cancer patient who changed everything[31:17] The body's master balancing system, and why medicine never told you about it[53:06] Why 85% of people shouldn't use THC, and what it does to the ECS long-term[01:00:09] Cannabis, the big C, and how the plant houses every terpene on earth[01:21:59] How to rebalance your endocannabinoid system with Dani's 90-day protocol[01:37:44] Why the ECS is the master controller of everything happening inside your cells[02:05:30] Pain, somatic work, and the cannabis products built to go deeperRelated The Way Forward episodes:The 4th Phase of Water: The Blueprint for Biological Energy with Dr. Gerald Pollack | YouTubeResources mentioned:The Fourth Phase of Water: Beyond Solid, Liquid, and Vapor by Gerald Pollack | Book or AudiobookFind more from Dani:Dani Fontaine | InstagramMainspring Well Center | WebsiteBetter Aromatherapy | WebsiteNature's Root | WebsiteFind more from Alec:Alec Zeck | InstagramAlec Zeck | XThe Way Forward | InstagramDonate to The Way Forward here.The Way Forward is Sponsored By:Eating well shouldn't be complicated.
