    We're running one of our favorite episodes from The Business of You archives. If you missed it the first time, or just want to listen again, check this one out! What do all great brands have in common? They create a meaningful experience for their customers — something in which Stuart Snyder is an expert. Stu is the founder and president of Snyder Media Group, LLC, creating content and providing strategic guidance to media, live entertainment, and start-up companies. Chances are, you're already familiar with Stu's work. Maybe you watched Cartoon Network or Adult Swim during his long tenure at Turner Broadcasting System. Perhaps you've seen a film he helped bring to screens, such as "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" or "Reservoir Dogs." Or maybe you've attended Disney on Ice or a Ringling Brothers show.  Most recently, Stu is the co-owner of Beal's Lobster Pier, an iconic restaurant and lobster pier on Mount Desert Island, Maine, and Chairman and CEO of the newly launched Sumo Championship League, bringing professional sumo to arenas across the U.S. The one thing that all of Stu's projects have in common is that they offer people memorable experiences. Exceed Your Customers' Expectations Stu lives by the rule of over-delivering. When people walk into his restaurant, he aims to put a smile on their face — whether that's with great customer service, decorations on their takeout box, or an extra gift with their order. It might even involve taking the customers for a walk to show them where the lobsters arrive. It's all about the experience and making them feel connected to your brand. When you exceed expectations, that's what turns customers into advocates. Equally important is how you deal with customers when things go wrong. Stu personally responds to every review of his restaurant, positive or negative. If it's positive, he thanks them for coming in. If it's not, he uses it as a learning opportunity and lets the customer know how he plans to correct the issue. The most important thing is to make your customers feel heard and taken care of. Building an Entrepreneurial Team As any business owner knows, building a team comes with its fair share of challenges. It can be difficult to keep everyone on the same page moving toward your vision. Stu takes a unique approach, encouraging his team to think like entrepreneurs — to look for out-of-the-box solutions, be creative, and take calculated risks. If you're the leader, it's your job to give your team direction. But you should also listen to their input on that direction. Set targets together so everyone stays accountable. In the hiring process, Stu recommends focusing on personality just as much as (if not more than) their work experience. Get to know the person, his or her communication style, and interests. Would the prospect get along with the other people on your team? Are communication styles compatible? Look for people who want positive relationships with their professional peers. Strong connections within your team make for a healthier business. Enjoy this episode with Stu Snyder… Soundbytes 16:29–16:45 "I do think the connection and making people feel special, making people become advocates for your show or advocates for your brand is very important. Over-delivering is critical." 46:35–47:03 "Now, does a business plan need to be 50 pages? Heck no. But I still believe in the principle of producing a plan, a business plan, that outlines — for the individual's own sake — clarity of what they're trying to achieve and why they're trying to achieve it. Because whether you go and raise capital or want to raise money or want to enter a marketplace, someone's going to ask you for a document: 'Let me see something.'" Quotes "How do we make people feel special, especially in a world that we're living in, where I think people are looking for that." "Being a leader was encouraging my team to think as entrepreneurs." "Never take yourself too seriously." "Your team needs direction. They need to know where they're headed." "If I'm making a hiring decision after one hour, I'm not doing my job."

    In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with TJ Marbois, founder of Tobiko, for a wide-ranging conversation that spans LLMs, data sovereignty, knowledge management tools like Obsidian, and Terence McKenna's ideas about an increasingly weird future. They explore how AI is simultaneously centralizing power through data control while decentralizing software development capabilities, allowing more people to build their own tools and escape big tech ecosystems. Drawing on his experience at Apple's special projects group (the team that built the iPod and later iPhones), TJ discusses his vision for personal AI assistants—what he calls the "R2-D2 belongs to you" principle—where advanced technology serves individuals rather than corporations. The conversation touches on everything from quantum encryption and local manufacturing with ESP32 microcontrollers to the economics of future society, biometric data unions, and why distributed trust matters more than ever as we approach what both describe as an increasingly strange technological inflection point. Visit Tobiko's site at tobiko-pbc.ghost.ioTimestamps00:00 Stewart introduces TJ Marbois from Tobiko, discussing LLMs, data sovereignty, knowledge management, and the tension between centralization and decentralization in AI05:00 TJ explains the R2-D2 belongs to you concept and why personal AI assistants need maternal alignment, caring about humans like mothers care for children10:05 Discussion of how LLMs will shrink and improve while emphasizing the sentient loop concept for building loyal personal AI agents rather than corporate controlled systems15:00 Exploring digital nervous systems for humanity, social networks as infrastructure, and humans as cavemen with iPhones navigating unprecedented technological complexity20:00 TJ discusses data unions for sovereign data ownership, inverting insurance models where AI helps extend healthspan, and maximizing truth seeking through collective data25:30 Money as social construct, crypto enabling value system reengineering, and working toward Star Trek's post scarcity replicator economy from the ground up30:40 Capital formation challenges, corporatism versus true capitalism, and pessimism about current systems reaching limits while seeking new models35:00 Solar power democratization, ESP32 microcontrollers enabling local manufacturing, and the replicator future through distributed maker communities and open source robotics40:00 Science fiction as roadmap, Isaac Asimov and Arthur C Clarke warnings, and building collaborative futures rather than centrally controlled dystopias with useless eaters45:00 Encyclopedia to LLM transition, information quality concerns, local training importance, and NVIDIA's incentive to put GPUs everywhere for personal AI agents50:00 Corrupted financial incentives, protecting vulnerable people from technological exploitation, and benevolent technologists building systems that honor humanity and children55:00 Hardware validation for owned robots, Starlink dependencies, assembly language abstraction toward natural language programming, and preventing AI escape scenarios58:00 Tobiko as AI toy company building sentient loop interactions similar to Xerox PARC GUI moment, emphasizing maternal AI alignment and cross cultural human collaborationKey Insights1. The concept of R2D2 belonging to you represents a critical vision for the future of artificial intelligence and personal technology. When thinking about robots and AI assistants that follow us around and know everything about us, the question of ownership becomes paramount. These systems will know incredibly intimate details about our lives, from our health data to our daily habits, and if they are controlled by centralized corporations or governments rather than individuals, we lose fundamental sovereignty over our own information. The science fiction of Star Wars and Star Trek provides roadmaps for how we should think about these technologies, showing us both the positive possibilities and the warnings we need to heed about centralized control.2. Local AI models and distributed computing represent a pathway to technological sovereignty that is becoming increasingly viable. While large language models currently run primarily in centralized data centers, the technology is rapidly advancing toward a future where powerful models can run locally on personal computers and devices. This shift is crucial because it means individuals can have full control over their AI assistants without relying on API calls to external servers. Combined with open source infrastructure and open weight models, this creates the foundation for truly personal AI that cannot be controlled or monitored by external parties, whether corporations or governments.3. Data unions and collective data ownership offer an alternative model to current centralized data collection practices. Rather than having individual data harvested by large tech companies who profit from it, the concept of data unions suggests people could collectively pool their data for specific beneficial purposes while maintaining ownership and control. For example, in healthcare, millions of people could share anonymized biometric data to train medical AI systems that are incentivized to keep people healthy rather than treat them when sick, inverting the current insurance model to align incentives with actual health outcomes rather than profit from illness.4. The democratization of manufacturing and robotics through accessible technologies like ESP32 microcontrollers and local fabrication tools is creating new possibilities for distributed production. Just as desktop printers seemed impossible to early printers who controlled book production, we are approaching an era where individuals and small communities can manufacture sophisticated electronic devices and robots locally. This includes the ability to use language models to generate code for microcontrollers, order custom PCBs, and use desktop machines for component placement. While high quality manufacturing will still require larger operations, this gradiation of capability allows for much more local innovation and reduces dependence on centralized manufacturing.5. The concentration of power in technology, finance, and industry has reached levels that are unhealthy for both society and even for those who hold the power. When profit and control become too concentrated in the hands of a few entities, it creates a cancerous dynamic that threatens the stability of the entire system. History shows us warnings about the military industrial complex and other concentrated power structures, and now we are seeing similar patterns emerge in the tech industry. The solution requires building technology from the ground up that empowers individuals and communities, focusing on basics like food production, energy generation, and local manufacturing rather than increasing dependence on centralized systems.6. The provenance and quality of information is becoming a critical challenge as AI systems become more sophisticated and reality itself becomes harder to verify. We are rapidly approaching a point where video calls and digital interactions will be indistinguishable from AI generated fakes, which is why figures like Sam Altman have invested in systems like Worldcoin to verify human identity. However, this verification capability should not be centralized in the hands of single companies. End to end encryption and quantum encryption technologies need to be preserved and expanded to allow humans to communicate and verify information peer to peer without centralized intermediaries who could manipulate or control the flow of information.7. The future of human computer interaction is evolving toward sentient loop systems where machines have sensory input, real time learning, context understanding, and continuous operation in service of human needs. Self driving cars represent the first widespread consumer facing example of this architecture, with onboard computers that must function independently while occasionally connecting to networks. The critical question is whether these systems will be aligned to benefit their human users like a caring mother as AI pioneer Geoffrey Hinton suggests, or whether they will be controlled by centralized powers. The technologists building these systems have a responsibility to be benevolent and build structures that serve humanity rather than concentrate power, helping to create a future more like Star Trek than Terminator.

    Kerry Lutz, Debt, Taxes, Trust, and Technology: From the $40 Trillion Question to Colorado Rail and the AI Future The $40 Trillion Debt and the Dollar's Staying Power The episode opens with economist and Financial Survival Network founder Kerry Lutz discussing the roughly $40 trillion national debt and why a number that large can become psychologically easy to dismiss. Lutz argues that the dollar-based system can continue functioning as long as global markets retain confidence in U.S. currency, liquidity, and the ability to retrieve invested capital. He says the lack of a trusted replacement currency is a major reason the system continues, while increased central-bank gold buying may signal gradual erosion of confidence. He also describes the long-term decline in the dollar's purchasing power and argues that inflation disproportionately burdens middle-class people who own fewer appreciating assets. The hosts press him on when debt and inflation could reach a breaking point, and he offers a rough six-year possibility while emphasizing that such predictions are highly uncertain. Inflation, Government Spending, and Possible Alternatives Lutz rejects political promises of “affordability” as largely superficial and argues that persistent inflation is fundamentally monetary rather than simply the result of temporary shortages. He contrasts short-lived price spikes caused by market disruptions with broad inflation tied to money and government policy. His proposed solution is major reductions in government spending and taxation, while acknowledging that abruptly restructuring debt and public spending could produce a severe economic contraction. The discussion then considers whether China, the European Union, Russia, or another monetary system could eventually replace the U.S. dollar as the dominant reserve currency. Lutz argues that no credible alternative currently exists but says history shows that reserve currencies eventually change, and he cites the end of the gold link and the removal of silver from U.S. coinage as important turning points. Colorado's Proposed Front Range Commuter Rail After Lutz leaves, Chuck and Julie turn to a proposed commuter-rail project running along Colorado's Front Range from Fort Collins toward Pueblo. They strongly oppose the proposed sales tax, criticize the estimated cost and projected ridership, and use RTD as an example of what they see as unsuccessful mass-transit policy. They argue that small tax increases accumulate into a larger burden and connect the rail proposal to Lutz's earlier warning about government spending. The hosts and Jacob also discuss personal experiences using buses between Boulder and Denver, the absence of a sunset provision as they understand it, and their expectation that a large construction project could continue consuming money even if the final transportation service proves unpopular. Their comments are highly opinionated and repeatedly urge listeners to vote against the proposal. Russiagate, Comey, and Institutional Distrust The conversation then shifts to renewed attention on investigations surrounding James Comey and the Russia-related controversies of Donald Trump's first presidency. Julie discusses a federal grand-jury subpoena involving a man the transcript identifies as Daniel Richmond and lays out allegations concerning leaks, Comey memos, The New York Times, congressional testimony, and the origins of a special-counsel investigation. The hosts characterize these events as evidence of a “deep state” effort against Trump and express approval that the Trump administration is continuing to pursue the matter. They also discuss the FBI, Secret Service, Antifa, NGO funding, DOGE, USAID, Open Society, and the Southern Poverty Law Center as part of a broader argument that political and bureaucratic institutions remain deeply politicized. These assertions are presented as the speakers' views and allegations rather than independently established facts. Jury Nullification, COVID, and the Breakdown of Trust Julie raises reports of activists receiving jury-nullification training and explains the concept as jurors refusing to convict even when the legal evidence supports conviction. She expresses mixed feelings, seeing jury independence as a possible check on abusive prosecutors while worrying that partisan nullification could undermine the rule of law. Chuck connects the issue to judges who resist higher-court rulings, and both hosts argue that public confidence in government deteriorated dramatically during COVID. They criticize Dr. Fauci and question the independence of medical recommendations influenced by pharmaceutical companies, describing a culture in which patients increasingly feel compelled to research professional advice themselves. The broader theme is that distrust has moved, in their view, from a general suspicion of large government to specific accusations that institutions, judges, prosecutors, and public-health authorities have acted against citizens' interests. AI, Data Centers, Energy, and the Future of Professional Work The final portion examines AI data centers, their energy and water demands, and their growing political importance. Chuck argues that the United States must develop the energy infrastructure necessary to compete in AI or risk surrendering technological leadership to China, while warning against tax-abatement deals that leave local communities carrying costs. Julie discusses claims that some data-center cooling systems recirculate water and therefore may use less new water than critics suggest. The hosts also discuss how AI is changing law, journalism, and newsroom production, with Chuck planning additional training to apply AI to legal and publishing work. A final legal exchange with Jacob covers federal judicial structure and why a higher court cannot simply remove a lower-court judge, before the show closes with speculation about space-based computing, nuclear energy, and a joking reference to Skynet from The Terminator.

    Episode Date: August 29, 2026This episode of Infinite Plane Saturn Day, broadcasted on August 29, 2026, serves as an intellectual critique of the “Metascript”—the simulated, highly controlled reality that governs both mainstream and alternative news cycles. The host opens with a temporal alignment: August 29th is the exact date Skynet becomes self-aware in Terminator 2, which timed perfectly with the film's theatrical re-release starting yesterday. He explains that directors like James Cameron and Christopher Nolan are “meta-scripters” who use highly realistic cinematic propaganda to prepare the public mind for faked historical events, notably impending nuclear psychological operations.The host connects these scripts to current events, pointing to Russia's “Poseidon” nuclear-powered submarine and its mirroring in the television show The Diplomat. To the host, this concurrent programming is designed to educate the public on how to respond to an eventual faked sea-based attack. He expands this critique to “MKUltra,” arguing that mainstream and alternative media are actually modern branches of the same trauma-induced mind control system.A significant portion of the broadcast is dedicated to exposing alternative media gatekeepers, or what the host calls “Trutherville”. By confronting alt-media influencer Amazing Polly over her assertions that the Trump shooting in Butler was real, the host demonstrates how the “main and alt” duopoly functions. He argues that both sides reinforce false premises, solidifying fake events in the public consensus. He states that figures like Charlie Kirk are constructed characters, and faked deaths like those in Butler or the J6 riots are heavily choreographed performances designed to manufacture a false worldview.The host also dissects common conspiracy narratives, dismissing chemtrails as a simple weather-dependent phenomenon where hot jet exhaust condenses in the freezing stratosphere. He explains that politicians merely pander to these beliefs to capture the “chud vote”. Similarly, the Mandela Effect is analyzed as retroactive interference—a gaslighting tactic that implants false memories in a highly suggestible, “auto-disbelieving” truther audience. Interwoven with personal reflections about his own DoorDash shifts, temporary Starlink outages, and the upcoming second edition of his handbook, the host delivers a sharp wake-up call. He warns his audience that they have until September 11th to sever ties with alternative media “shepherds” and make the transition into “Realville”.Key Takeaways (5 Bullet Points)* The Metascript and Predictive Programming: The host argues that elite “meta-scripters” like James Cameron and Christopher Nolan use cinema to prime the mass consciousness for future faked events, such as nuclear catastrophes, by aligning movie plots with real-world timelines.* The Poseidon Threat and Geopolitical Integration: The broadcast highlights the concurrent release of The Diplomat Season 4 and Russia's “Poseidon” nuclear torpedo as a structured effort to “educate” the public ahead of a simulated sea-based crisis.* The Mainstream-Alternative Duopoly: Using his confrontation with Amazing Polly as an example, the host asserts that both mainstream and alternative media share the same false starting premises to solidify simulated events (like J6 or the Butler shooting) into accepted history.* Deconstructing Conspiracy Tropes: The host refutes popular alternative theories, characterizing chemtrails as basic water condensation from hot jet exhaust and the Mandela Effect as retroactively implanted false memories designed to gaslight vulnerable followers.* The Transition to “Realville”: Listeners are urged to fully abandon the “anti” and “pro” dialectics of “Trutherville” before the 25th anniversary of 9/11 and migrate to “Realville,” where critical thinkers process media through systematic pattern recognition rather than emotional reactions.Key Episode Quotes (5 Quotes)* “James Cameron loaded Terminator 2 and Titanic from 97 With 9-11 predictive programming, and on 9-11, he was at the scene of the sunken Titanic.”* “And that's what predictive programming does. It is there to educate the public about what's going to be faked so they know what it's going to be.”* “We are a fake news wood chipper at this point.”* “...my essential premise here is that main and alt are in fact a duopoly. They both start with the exact same premise, which is always false.”* “Yeah, mainstream media is MKUltra. Alt-media, MKUltra. I've stepped out of both.”

    Hello friends! Today's tale of pentest pwnage isn't a start-to-finish march to DA – it's me finally emptying out the backlog of "gosh, I've got to share this next time" internal network tips that have been rattling around in my head. Here's what we get into: Don't skip the boring stuff. Even when I'm testing the same network for the third or fourth time, I've got an ever-growing list of things I check every single time – because config drift has a nasty habit of quietly reintroducing problems that were fixed years ago. Get a second opinion on your tools. Lately I've had BloodHound tell me a network is squeaky clean, and then gone and checked manually only to find the exact opposite sprawled all over the place. I don't know how to account for it, but it's changed how I work. (If you know the source of truth here, please write in!) Ghost machines. That innocent little checkbox in Active Directory that turns a computer object into a gift-wrapped present for an attacker. We keep finding these in environments that had zero of them last year – and I share the two-pass trick that shakes even more of them loose. The weekend freebie. Why I like to get my box lit up on a Friday even when the test doesn't officially start until Monday, and what tends to come wandering into my capture over 48 quiet hours. SNMP sweeps. I've never been caught doing one, and yet they'll happily hand over the make, model and firmware of some firewalls, switches and storage systems in the building. I think this finding deserves way more attention than it gets. (There are a few little commandlets waiting for you over at 7MinSec.wiki.) Be a consultant, not a Terminator 1000. Why I run certain checks even when I'm 99% sure I'll find nothing, why "you don't have this thing at all" belongs in the accolades section, and how that one habit has led to some of the most appreciated conversations we've had in report delivery meetings. Tangent department: the dumb-but-glorious AI project that gave me the giggidies – a fully automated lobby bot for a Steam game that is absolutely, positively not for the kiddos. Also: the one line I won't cross with it, no matter how much my buddy eggs me on. Got a tip of your own I should be adding to the "always check this" list? I'd love to hear it! 7MinSec.com for security services and show notes | 7MinSec.club for our Substack and weekly TuesdayTOOLSdays | 7MinSec.wiki for pentesting tips, scripts and cheat sheets

    Garret Dillahunt reflects on joining the Terminator franchise through Cromartie — one of the most chilling, relentless cyborgs in The Sarah Connor Chronicles. He breaks down how he approached the physicality, precision, and eerie calm required to play a machine built for one purpose. We explore how he found humanity within the inhuman, how the show's tone shaped his performance, and what it meant to step into a legacy defined by iconic characters, mythology, and fan expectations. Long before his turns in Fear The Walking Dead and Lanterns, Dillahunt was already proving his range — shifting from genre action to psychological nuance. His reflections here show how each role sharpened his instincts and expanded his creative toolkit. “Unlock a  audio visual universe with Sci‑Fi Talk Plus — your home for commercial‑free, uncensored genre.

    Nikki Glaser kicks off the show with a birthday message for Rizz, which is probably the classiest thing that happens for the next 43 minutes. Because immediately after that, this comedy podcast gets back to the story everybody has questions about: the San Francisco 49ers owner getting busted in an alleged prostitution sting at a trailer park in East Palestine, Ohio.At 9:30 in the morning. On a Sunday.The crew tries to reverse-engineer exactly how somebody with hundreds of millions of dollars winds up in this situation. Was this the final stop of an all-night bender? Did he wake up Sunday morning ready to make terrible choices? How fast does an online prostitution appointment work? Apparently it's like checking into urgent care, except your insurance company has significantly more questions.That leads to an even more important investigation: how does a police department decide who goes undercover as the prostitute? Is getting picked flattering? Is not getting picked insulting? Somehow Miss Congeniality, ugly-character casting, Marla Hooch, Home Alone, Cry-Baby, Jonah Hill, Rebel Wilson and Johnny Depp all get dragged into the conversation.Then it's time to discuss the upcoming iPhone and whether spending around $1,200 on another rectangle that looks suspiciously like your current rectangle is still exciting. The show heads Back in the Day for anniversaries involving The Wizard of Oz, Bruce Springsteen's Born to Run, Boston's legendary debut album, Lauryn Hill, Aaliyah and more.Then Crap on Celebrities brings the pop-culture buffet nobody asked us to curate.ZZ Top plays its first show following the death of drummer Frank Beard, the crew attempts to demonstrate its vast knowledge of Quando Rondo, Ella Langley continues her monster chart run with “Choosing Texas,” and Miranda Lambert enters the conversation thanks to a songwriting story involving a kangaroo. Because sure.There's also a Wendy Williams documentary on the way, which naturally leads to revisiting her infamous Statue of Liberty fainting incident and several other moments from daytime television history. We get TV cancellations, Harry Potter casting talk, massive movie box-office numbers, and news that Paramount is developing a sequel to How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.The Terminator 2 cast reunion also gets reviewed with all the tact and restraint you've come to expect from this comedy podcast. Edward Furlong gets some love, everybody realizes he was only 13 while filming the movie, and Rafe delivers the completely unnecessary observation that the reunion photo looks like “the future they were trying to prevent.”Then we meet celebrities who somehow function without smartphones. Christopher Walken doesn't have a cell phone or use email. Christopher Nolan prefers a landline. Elton John goes without a phone. Michael Cera uses an actual camera. Meanwhile, most of us get nervous if our battery drops below 30%.Birthdays follow, complete with Alexander Skarsgård, Jodi Messina, Claudia Schiffer, Tim Burton, Rob Halford, Gene Simmons, Tom Skerritt and a detour into the days when watching a really long movie required two VHS tapes. Children, ask your grandparents.And then Rafe's arm enters the chat.After roughly 30 weeks of allergy shots because he is apparently allergic to the entire planet, Rafe reveals that his weekly appointment came with a new threat: The Smelly Waiting Room Guy.This man's body odor was so aggressive that Rafe abandoned the waiting room and sat in the hallway despite being required to stick around after his shots. What follows is a full workplace-level investigation into human stink etiquette.When are you obligated to tell someone they smell? How does a manager have that conversation? Do you blame their shoes first? Can coworkers become “smell blind” to one another? What happens when you put perfume on top of funk and accidentally create an entirely new biological weapon?This comedy podcast finally reaches the conclusion society has apparently been afraid to admit: sometimes somebody just needs to tell you that you stink.No heroes. No lessons. Just onions.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    Summer is basically over, the kids are back in school, and some of them returned home looking like they'd just completed a six-month combat deployment instead of one day of algebra. Naturally, that sends The Rizzuto Show down memory lane to discuss suspiciously easy senior-year schedules, bowling classes, walking classes, movie classes, and the beautiful teenage realization that maybe calculus simply isn't going to be part of your personal journey.NFL chaos with the story of 49ers owner Jed York and an alleged prostitution sting in East Palestine, Ohio. The crew tries to understand how a man connected to billions of dollars somehow ends up at the center of a $140 Sunday-morning situation in a mobile home community.A workplace prank involving heavy machinery that ended in tragedy. That leads into a rundown of some of the deadliest jobs in America, including logging, commercial fishing, roofing, steel work, trash collection, aviation, mining, construction, and landscaping. Suddenly sitting in a radio studio complaining about the air conditioning doesn't seem quite as heroic.And because The Rizzuto Show can never stay on one subject for more than the medically recommended amount of time, Fujifilm sends everybody tumbling into a conversation about words that instantly reveal your age. “Videotape.” “Pocketbook.” “Slacks.” “Icebox.” “Billfold.” “Filling station.” “Supper.” Welcome to the portion of the show where everyone discovers they're approximately 900 years old.Then it's time to discuss the upcoming iPhone and whether spending around $1,200 on another rectangle that looks suspiciously like your current rectangle is still exciting.

The crew talks about what was known about the accident, the young man's condition, and their own experiences with Columbia's downtown, the Blue Note, Shakespeare's, old venues, King Scott's favorite Wal Mart and the college-town scene. It's a genuinely awful situation, and everybody's hoping the kid pulls through.And then Simpleton Trivia arrives to destroy everybody's self-esteem.The premise sounds insultingly easy: answer 10 common-knowledge questions in 45 seconds.

But there's no hard legal rule based on age. What actually matters more than age is fair use, which considers: Purpose — commentary, criticism, education = stronger fair use case Amount used — shorter = safer; a 5-10 second clip for reaction/discussion is generally fine Effect on market — your clip shouldn't replace the original In practice for YouTube specifically: Most major studios have Content ID systems that will flag clips regardless of movie age — even 100-year-old films if the rights holder has registered them Public domain is the real safe zone — films from 1927 or earlier are generally in the public domain in the US. Some films from the 1928-1963 range are also public domain if copyright wasn't renewed Disney, Warner Bros., Universal etc. actively enforce even very old films For a show like TWiST showing a short reaction clip — 5-10 seconds with clear commentary context is the industry standard and rarely gets actioned. But age alone won't protect you. Today's show: *A humanoid robot ran the 100m in 9.39, breaking the human Usain Bolt's world record, while an entire stadium cheered.

    Today, we're sitting down with powerhouse actor Logan Marshall-Green, who has spent decades carving out an extraordinary career from the stage to the screen. His story begins with famously turning down a role in Terminator 3 in order to finish his MFA. In this episode, Logan takes us through his raw and honest journey, from battling intense imposter syndrome on the set of Ridley Scott's Prometheus to eventually finding his camera "sea legs" and learning to trust himself on screen. We dive into what it was like to get into an unscripted, physical scrap with Richard Gere in Brooklyn's Finest, direct the legendary Ethan Hawke in Adopt a Highway, share the screen with Al Pacino in Killing Castro, and step onto the epic scale of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey. Plus, Logan shares his invaluable "walkaway" audition philosophy: a mindset that teaches artists how to let go, trust the work they've done, and keep moving forward. These are the unforgettable stories that landed Logan Marshall-Green right here. Credits: The Odyssey Marshals Killing Castro Spider-Man: Homecoming And Just Like That...

    This and all episodes at: https://aiandyou.net/ . The idea of AI posing an existential risk to the human race is kind of like the Terminator itself – it just keeps coming back. We'll look at some of the history of that issue, how attitudes towards it have waxed and waned over the years, and recent events where AIs have escaped their containers and the reactions - or lack thereof - to those incidents. What should we take away from this slow-motion train wreck and what should we do about it? All this plus our usual look at today's AI headlines!

    Joseph Eckert's debut novel The Traveler follows Scott, an average Midwestern dad whose car vanishes around him one ordinary commute — and who discovers he's been thrown 24 hours into the future. The twist: it keeps happening, and each jump doubles, flinging him two days forward, then four, then eight, sixteen, and on, while his brilliant son Lyle grows obsessed with figuring out the math behind his father's disappearances and finding a way to bring him home. He stopped by the show to speak about the novel. In our conversation, Eckert traced his time-travel influences back to a college paper comparing Terminator 2, Time Cop, and Back to the Future — and explained why he built his own story around forward motion instead of the backward paradoxes those films wrestle with. We dig into what makes the book hit harder than a typical high-concept premise is its personal nature. Eckert started writing it 15 years ago, identifying with the son, but returned to it as a father himself, reshaping Scott's interiority (with help from his editors and agent) to capture the specific horror of missing your child's life in irreversible leaps. He also softened the marriage at the story's center, moving away from his own experience as the child of divorce toward a more tragic, loving portrait of what a good relationship looks like under impossible strain. The Traveler is out now from Tor Books!

    Hey friends! Today's another slice of our Securing Your Family During and After a Disaster miniseries, and fair warning — it's a bit of a Friday mood-ruiner. It's been almost two months since my dad passed, and we've moved into a phase nobody prepared me for. Here's what we get into: The paperwork nobody thinks about — my mom still doesn't know what her monthly income looks like now, and the answer is buried in a box somebody lost the key to. Divvying up a lifetime of stuff — and why our 2019 house fire completely rewired how I think about possessions. Dumpster weekend — my wife makes keep-or-toss calls like a Terminator. Also: my dad owned 60 rakes, and a spirited family debate about the resale value of bee spray. Sell it or pitch it? — why we mostly gave up on Facebook Marketplace mid-cleanout, and my one non-negotiable rule for meeting strangers to hand off your stuff. The conversation I wish we'd had five years ago — it's short, it's simple, and it's absolutely brutal to bring up with your parents. Do it anyway. My hope is this nudges you to have some of these talks now, while everybody's healthy and nobody's crying in a garage. Been through it yourself? I'd love to hear what you'd do differently.

    THE NEXT BILLION SECONDS: AI@70 EP 2: THE WATERSHED ChatGPT opened the door to artificial intelligence. Almost immediately, researchers built 'agents' using it - but three years of hard yards passed before agents were 'good enough' to be useful. In this episode we trace the path from 'bad' to 'good enough' agents - and what it unlocked as we 'crossed the watershed'. No one really thought that on the last day of November in 2022, the world would change completely. Not even the folks closest to it. Like Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, who said, "We always knew we'd hit a tipping point," "But we didn't know what the moment would be." His firm modestly promoted a 'research preview' of their new AI chatbot.ChatGPT. G'day, I'm Mark Pesce and this billion seconds are already unfolding as the most significant of this century. In this miniseries, celebrating the 70th anniversary of artificial intelligence, we're looking at where we’ve come from, how we got here - and where we seem to be going. Because we’re travelling at the speed of thought. ChatGPT promised artificial intelligence on tap for everyone. But it took another three years for that promise to be realised. This episode traces that story, from something kids used to do their homework for them - into a tool reshaping our economy. That's on this episode of This Billion Seconds. I reckon anyone who used a chatbot in 2023 or 2024 deserves a gold star. Two gold stars if they used one to get work done. ChatGPT was interesting. But it wasn't very accurate. The earliest chatbots, trained to be eager to please, would sometimes make up their answers. With no basis in fact. We call these 'hallucinations', but that's not what they are. It's that we'd caught the AI out. Asked a question it didn't know how to answer. So, it did its best with whatever it could pull together. It didn't mean to lie. It didn't even know it was lying. It was just generating a response. In a chatbot conversation that isn't a big deal. You could fact check - against another chatbot, against the web - even, if you can imagine it, ask another human being. Those sorts of hallucinations could be caught - if you went to some effort. But then again - why ask a chatbot if you want to make an effort? Folks took chatbots at their word. And some them paid a price. Hallucinations are an annoyance for people. But they're show-stoppers for autonomous agents. Oh yes, the nearly forty year old dream of Apple CEO John Sculley of autonomous agents running around and doing all of our work for us - that dream flickered back into life alongside ChatGPT. Researchers reckoned that with 'good enough' AI, they'd be able to build agents. To read your email, Keep your calendar. Book a reservation. That sort of thing. Just three months after ChatGPT landed, the first of those autonomous agents popped up. A piece of software known as AutoGPT. AutoGPT turns an AI like ChatGPT into an agent. It does that by providing the three things an agent needs. Memory - so that the agent can remember what it's supposed to be doing, and keep notes on its progress as it does it. Tools - So that it can do things like read and write files, respond to emails, or add items to the calendar, And goal logic - this is the thing that turns an AI into a single-minded goal-oriented piece of software. Basically, it's the same quality as the Terminator: the agent has one goal and it will stop at nothing to achieve it. AutoGPT gave ChatGPT memory, tools and goal logic - everything need to turn it into an autonomous agent. And it should have been absolutely amazing. Except for one thing. Here's how an agent works: you give it a goal, and it 'decomposes' that goal into a series of steps, then breaks those steps down into discrete actions. The agent then methodically works its way through each of the actions. At the end of every action, an agent 'reflects' - it checks the results of that action. Did it work? Does the agent get to go on to the next action, or does it need to do this action again? And this is where the problems arise. Because if ChatGPT happens to hallucinate in the midst of this process, the whole thing very quickly falls over. Maybe an agent thinks an action worked, when it didn't. Or thinks it didn't, even though it did. Now there's always a change that - for any given action - there will be a hallucination that will make the agent fall over. You can deal with that if there are just a few actions. Chances are it will get through all of the actions before problems arise. But for anything even modestly complex, there are many actions. Tens to hundreds. Maybe even thousands. So the probability for just one hallucination - that's all it takes to make the agent fall over - grows higher and higher as the list of actions grows longer and longer. Now here's the thing: people measured this. A group known as Model Evaluation and Threat Research or METR, they've kept a running record of how long agents can run before they fall over. And back in early 2023, they'd make it no more than about 4 minutes. An agent can't do a lot in 4 minutes. So although we could make agents using ChatGPT, we couldn't make them work well. For that, we'd need better AI. Funny thing about that. All of us can take some credit for making AI better. You see, most everyone who's using ChatGPT or Claude or Gemini or any of the others, is making those models better with every question we put the them. Those questions and the answers to them get fed back in, to train the next generation of models. It's why AI is so much better now than it was three years ago - and why I say anyone who used AI day-to-day in 2023 or 2024 deserves a gold star. Those were hard yards because the AI just wasn't very good. How do we know AI is better to day than it was two or three years ago? Ah, here's where we come back to those folks at METR. They've been tracking what they call the 'task horizon' of agents. How long they can perform actions before they fall over. And they noticed that with every subsequent generation of AI, that task horizon got longer. Dependably. It soon became clear that the task horizon doubled an average in seven months. 4 minutes becomes eight minutes toward the end of 2023, then sixteen minutes in mid 2024 thirty-two minutes in early 2025, and then sixty-four minutes. Just over an hour In November 2025. Three years after ChatGPT launched. Now that moment in time - just under a year ago - saw the launch of three brand new models: Google Gemini 3, Anthropic Claude Opus 4.5, and OpenAI GPT-5.2. Each of these models could be used to create agents with task horizons greater than an hour. An hour is "long enough" that you can assign an agent a reasonably complex task, let it go off and do the work, with confidence that the work will be done correctly. That's kind of a magic length of time. It takes agents out of the theoretical - where they'd been for nearly 40 years - and makes them very practical. That's the reason I call this moment "The Watershed". It's the moment when AI gets "good enough" to do real work. I'm far from the only person to notice this. Anyone using AI tools to write software noticed a big shift, as they stopped fighting with their tools. Because the tools had gotten 'smart enough' to handle the task. This is the moment where we first hear the term 'vibe coding' - tell the agent what kind of software you want to create, and the agent will go off and build it for you. And now that we're on the other side of the watershed, it's all downhill. Gaining speed. Because the task horizon didn't stop growing at an hour. We're more than seven months beyond November 2025, and task horizons have doubled again. Two hours. By early next year, four hours. And by the end of next year - eight hours. An entire work day. Tell the agent what to do - for the whole of the day - and let it do its thing. We've come a long, long way since November 2023. But we're through the hardest bits. You're using the worst AI you'll ever use. And boy, will it get better from here. In our next episode, we'll look at what autonomous agents mean for business - and whether business is actually prepared to pay for them. That's on the next episode of This Billion seconds.

    Jace and Rocky break down all 13 DC releases for the week of August 19, 2026. Dark Knights of Steel #2 finds Amanda Waller's machinations continuing as an illness threatens Kara and the House of El, while Barbara Gordon serves as a literal Oracle and the developing relationship between Kal-El and Lois adds another layer to Tom Taylor's expanding fantasy world. Lobo #6 sends Lobo to Hell to battle the Tooth Fairy in an intentionally ridiculous detour, but the issue feels disconnected from the characters and plot threads Scotty Young had carried forward from the previous arc, making the story feel unusually disposable. End of Life #7 sees Eddie's attempt to do something genuinely good by rescuing a kidnapped kid land him in the hands of the killers hunting him, and after escaping another brutal beating he discovers Little Cock has finally caught up with him looking for revenge over the death of Big Cock. Beneath all the absurd violence and comedy, Eddie's relationship with his dying father continues to give the series a surprisingly human core. Deathstroke the Terminator #6 escalates Adeline's revenge from murdering Wintergreen to trying to kill Rose, forcing an already battered Slade into a confrontation with his ex-wife. Slade survives, but the real damage is psychological: stripped of his identity as the world's greatest assassin, he is left wondering what remains if he is no longer a "killer for hire" and is simply a killer. Catwoman #90 finally gives Maggie Kyle the chance to confront Black Mask and use a nerve agent against the man who murdered her husband and traumatized her, but what should have been a powerful moment of Maggie reclaiming her agency feels frustratingly abrupt and underdeveloped. The conclusion also leaves the fates of Black Mask and Katarina Belova open while Carmine Falcone remains firmly embedded in Selina's increasingly complicated family story. New Titans #38 brings Static to Titans Mountain while he struggles to control his powers, Yara Flor begins experiencing visions of her Amazonian homeland and Stephanie Brown continues growing into a leadership role. There are plenty of potentially interesting threads, but with so many characters competing for space, the issue feels disjointed and several of the Titans come across as noticeably younger and less experienced than their recent portrayals. Batman/Superman: World's Finest #54 drags Batman, Superman and their fellow heroes into Hell for a baseball game against its denizens in a deliberately absurd one-and-done that recalls DC's old Super-Sports stories. Mark Waid makes the ridiculous premise work, although for an actual baseball story, Jace wanted considerably more baseball. Absolute Flash #18 keeps expanding Wally's world as Absolute Hunter Zolomon, Director Bones and Eleanor Thawne all enter the picture, while Eleanor genuinely believes the Absolute Justice League are the good guys. Ralph Dibny may also have just experienced the event that gives him his powers, setting up a potentially wild confrontation between Wally, Abra Kadabra and Hunter Zolomon. Batwoman #6 flashes back through most of its story to events before the series began, clarifying how Kate and Beth reached the point where their stories diverged, before the final pages return to the present after Kate has rescued her sister. The added context helps explain some of the confusion from the first five issues, although ending with both sisters seeing the same psychiatrist still leaves the series in an unusual place moving forward. Absolute Green Arrow #4 provides more context for Absolute Oliver Queen's values and creates a stark contrast with Hector Hammond's depravity, while a terrifying Absolute Solomon Grundy enters the picture and Dinah Lance appears increasingly close to manifesting powers of her own. The lingering question remains whether the mysterious Green Arrow can actually be Oliver at all when Hammond claims Oliver Queen died and attempts to resurrect him failed. Nightwing #131 has Dick preparing to turn himself in over the catastrophic bridge accident no one believes was caused by a witch, only for another woman to suddenly confess to being the witch herself. That apparent manipulation deepens the supernatural mystery as events from Blüdhaven's past continue reaching into the present and Nightwing remains caught in the middle. Wonder Woman #36 continues Steve Trevor's telling of the story of the woman he loves to his daughter as Stephanie Williams retells Diana's origin with strong Clayton Henry artwork. There is little here that substantially changes the familiar story, but framing it through Steve sharing Diana's history with a daughter who is equal parts Steve and Diana gives the retelling some added emotional resonance. Finally, Superman Unlimited #16 pushes the Kingdom of Zod event forward at full speed as the Superman family rallies against Zod, including the first meeting between Mark Waid's current Superboy and Supergirl. Superman and Zod eventually suit up for a battle that is still raging when the issue ends, making this chapter feel less like a self-contained story and more like one sustained piece of a much larger action sequence.

    Enjoy this episode? Please share it with at least ONE friend who you think needs to hear it!Avatar stuntman, actor, and UFO disclosure researcher Reuben Langdon returns to reveal how working with James Cameron helped trigger a decades-long investigation into extraterrestrial contact, channeling, and the forces shaping human consciousness in episode 259 of the Far Out with Faust podcast.Langdon served as Sam Worthington's main stunt double on James Cameron's Avatar and is known to video game fans for portraying Dante in the Devil May Cry series and Ken Masters in Street Fighter. He went on to produce the five-day Citizen Hearing on Disclosure in Washington, D.C., where more than 40 military witnesses, researchers, and pilots testified before six former members of Congress. Langdon later created Interview with E.D., a successful Gaia series exploring channeling, extraterrestrial and multidimensional beings, and consciousness.In this episode, Faust and Reuben examine what may be behind decades of UFO secrecy, from religion and the military-industrial complex to crash retrieval programs, zero-point energy, and the economic systems built around scarcity. They also explore James Cameron's ideas about planetary consciousness, the rise of AI as potential “training wheels” for open ET contact, and what channelers may be revealing about humanity's relationship with non-human intelligence. The conversation expands into light language, sacred geometry, CE-5 contact, and the possibility that humanity is moving toward radically different realities.In this episode:• How Avatar Changed Everything: A motion-capture set, a Steven Greer video, and a 2007 UFO sighting pushed Reuben from Hollywood stunt work into the disclosure world.• What James Cameron Sees in His Dreams: The surprising origins of Neytiri, The Terminator, and some of Cameron's most enduring ideas.• Disclosure Before Congress Cared: Reuben revisits the five-day Citizen Hearing and why its 30+ hours of UFO testimony may matter even more now than it did in 2013.• Did Philip Corso Get It Right?: Roswell, crash retrievals, David Grusch, Jake Barber, and the Legacy Program begin to form a much bigger picture.• What Channelers Are Actually Saying: From Bashar to Rob Gauthier, Reuben explores the messages that reshaped his understanding of consciousness and ET contact.• AI Before Aliens: A 2014 message from Wendy Kennedy suggested humanity would have to navigate artificial intelligence before open ET contact. Why would AI come first?• Can Geometry Change Reality?: Light language, ancient symbols, and sacred geometry raise new questions about their effects on consciousness and the physical world.• Contact Without Government Permission: CE-5 and consciousness-based protocols offer a radically different path to extraterrestrial contact.• Are We Splitting Into Two Earths?: Reuben explores the possibility that humanity's diverging visions of the future are becoming something much more literal.From Hollywood to UFO disclosure, channeling, and contact, Reuben's journey raises one bigger question: how much of reality are we actually ready to see?00:00 - Teaser: James Cameron & Planetary Consciousness01:18 - Introduction: Welcoming Reuben Langdon03:40 - Stunt Doubling Sam Worthington on Avatar06:55 - Indigenous Teachings & Spiritual Awakening on Set10:27 - The 2007 UFO Sighting That Changed Everything13:45 - Discovering Channeling & The Law of Attraction16:30 - Producing the 2013 Citizen Hearing on Disclosure22:39 - The Origins of Interview with E.D.27:30 - Why the UFO Cover-Up?

    Transform and roll... well, sort of!This week on The Insanely Dangerous Retropodshow, Dangerous Dave travels back to the toy-filled world of 1984 to revisit the transforming robots that dared to take on Transformers...GoBots!Were they an underrated part of 80s toy history, or were they always destined to live in the shadow of Optimus Prime and Megatron?Dangerous Dave begins by firing up What Happened Way Back When?, revisiting five songs, five movies and five TV shows from 1984, including Ghostbusters, The Terminator, The Karate Kid, Wham!, Van Halen and The Real Ghostbusters. Then Retro Headlines looks back at some of the major stories making news in Britain and America during an unforgettable year.DANGEROUS DEEP DIVE – THE HISTORY OF GOBOTSDave takes an extended look at the origins of GoBots, beginning with Bandai's Japanese Machine Robo toys before Tonka transformed them into the GoBots brand.We remember the heroic Guardians, led by Leader-1, and the evil Renegades, commanded by the brilliantly named Cy-Kill.There are memories of Turbo, Scooter, Small Foot, Crasher and Cop-Tur as Dave explores why the smaller and often cheaper GoBots became such popular pocket-money toys.We also revisit Challenge of the GoBots, the Hanna-Barbera cartoon that attempted to build a universe around the characters, and examine what happened when Transformers arrived and completely changed the transforming-robot battle.Was Transformers genuinely better...Or did superior characters, storytelling and marketing simply leave GoBots behind?DANGEROUS DETOUR – THE GOLDEN AGE OF 80s TOYSWhy were the 1980s so ridiculously good for toys?Dave remembers an era dominated by He-Man, Transformers, MASK, Thundercats, G.I. Joe, Ghostbusters, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Visionaries, Bravestarr and, of course, GoBots.It was a time when the cartoon, comic and toy aisle all became part of one enormous childhood universe.BACK IN THE ADSWe're heading back to British television for another classic commercial as Dave remembers the wonderfully bizarre Smash Martians.Why were aliens laughing at humans for peeling potatoes?How did “For Mash Get Smash” become such a memorable slogan?And why do so many people still remember those little metal Martians decades later?RETRO RUMBLE – GOBOTS VS TRANSFORMERSIt's the battle we've been waiting for.GoBots vs Transformers!The two transforming robot giants go head-to-head across toys, characters, cartoons, value for money and pure nostalgia.GoBots put up a surprisingly strong fight...But can Leader-1 and Cy-Kill really defeat Optimus Prime and Megatron?DANGEROUSLY UNDERRATEDDave gives Challenge of the GoBots another chance and argues that the cartoon deserves to be remembered as more than simply “that other transforming robot show.”ONE SEASON WONDERWe also revisit the wonderfully 80s animated series Pole Position, with its high-tech vehicles, crime-solving adventures and connections to the classic arcade game.TOYBOX TIME MACHINEThe Toybox Time Machine opens once again as Dave remembers Voltron and the brilliant idea of taking five robotic lions and combining them into one enormous warrior.And then...It's time for Gaz.GAZ'S RAPID RETRO REVIEW – GOBOTSGaz has heard Dave defending GoBots for most of the episode...And he's having absolutely none of it.GAZ:"GoBots? Sorry, Dange... I didn't like them then and I don't like them now!They were the transforming robots you got when you really wanted Transformers.Leader-1? He's no Optimus Prime.Cy-Kill? He's basically an angry motorbike.And Scooter? Don't even get me started on Scooter.Transformers had Optimus Prime, Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave and Grimlock. GoBots had... well... GoBots.Were the toys cheap? Yes.Were they easy to transform? Yes.But that's because there wasn't much bloody transforming to do!I know you've spent this episode trying to convince everyone that GoBots deserve another chance, Dange, but I'm not buying it.For me... Transformers win every single time.Gaz's Rapid Retro Rating: ⭐⭐ – 2 out of 5"Two stars. And I'm probably being generous. Back to you, Dange!"THE DANGER ZONEAfter Gaz completely destroys them, Dave enters The Danger Zone to mount one final defence of GoBots.They may never have matched Transformers for characters, storytelling or longevity, but Dave argues that history has treated them unfairly.They were affordable.They were fun.They were easy to collect.And for plenty of kids, a GoBot was their first transforming robot.Dave awards the franchise an impressive 27 out of 30 Danger Rating...Even if Gaz would probably like to deduct about twenty points from that score!HALL OF DANGERFinally, despite Gaz's objections, GoBots enter the Hall of Danger for their contribution to the transforming robot craze and their place in 1980s toy history.Love them...Hate them...Or still wish your parents had bought you a Transformer instead...GoBots are part of the story of the 1980s.And that's why they're worth remembering.NEXT TIME...Season 9 continues as Dangerous Dave swaps transforming robots for synthesisers and heads into the incredible catalogue of...PET SHOP BOYSFrom West End Girls and It's a Sin to Always on My Mind, Heart, Being Boring and Go West, we'll explore the history, albums, greatest hits and legacy of Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe.The Insanely Dangerous Retropodshow – keeping the greatest decades alive, one dangerously nostalgic episode at a time.

    A St. Louis story that's bizarre for all the wrong reasons: a regional Amber Alert, a supposedly stolen Dodge Charger and a missing child who investigators ultimately determined had never been inside the vehicle. The crew gets into the false report, the massive police response it triggered and the uncomfortable fact that this wasn't the first high-profile false child-abduction report the area has dealt with recently.You'd think we'd stay serious after that. You must be new here.Moon finally saw The Odyssey in IMAX, which means it's time for a completely reasonable film review that immediately becomes a referendum on whether human beings still know how to behave inside a movie theater. Talking, climbing over people, premium ticket prices and seats close enough to the screen to personally inspect Tom Holland's pores—moviegoing truly is magical.Then comes an argument guaranteed to make somebody angrily talk to their dashboard: which bands followed a killer debut album with a disappointing sophomore effort? Guns N' Roses, Garbage, Weezer, Bush, Hootie and the Blowfish, Boston, The Darkness, The Strokes, Meat Loaf and Vanilla Ice all enter the conversation, and not everybody leaves with their dignity. Moon also brings an actual musician's perspective to why that second album can be such a nightmare when your first record becomes a hit. Welcome to our funny podcast, where suddenly we're discussing artistic pressure like responsible adults before immediately ruining it.Crap on Celebrities arrives carrying the usual bag of entertainment nonsense.

It's the kind of premise that makes you realize the person standing next to you at soccer practice may have a considerably more interesting LinkedIn than you do.The conversation brings the show's unusual collision of ordinary suburban routines, relationships, reality television and decidedly less-ordinary careers straight into the studio.

    Rizz shows up sporting a mysterious bandage under his eye, so naturally Lern, Moon and Rafe respond with compassion, maturity and absolutely none of the above. After theories involving shaving accidents, discount Nelly cosplay and possible violence, Rizz reveals what actually happened: he went to the dermatologist expecting to have a skin tag removed. Instead, the doctor took one look under magnification, decided it needed a closer look, removed it and sent it off for a biopsy.So obviously the show handles this delicate situation with dignity.Just kidding. Within minutes we're discussing solidarity Band-Aids, ribbons, Aquaphor, garlic carcinoma and whether Rizz can technically start calling himself a survivor. Nothing brings friends together quite like an unexpected medical procedure and the immediate weaponization of it for content.King Scott sends us into CPR, new-parent panic and the revelation that properly installing a child car seat apparently requires more training than anyone in the room expected. A firefighter calls in, King Scott gets some actual useful information, and Rizz remembers the time his son started choking on bacon — prompting Dad Instinct Rizz to spring into action before apparently returning to his omelet like he'd just completed a minor household chore.Lern has also researched emergency procedures for cats, because of course she has.Then Lern returns from Table Rock Lake and the crew settles an important semantic argument: was this a “vacation” or merely a “trip”? Her family getaway included Table Rock, Top of the Rock, an expensive golf-cart cave tour, fake rocks, Branson energy, a canned cave cocktail and enough nickel-and-diming to make you wonder if the scenery charges a convenience fee.The review? Roughly three out of five stars. Nature: beautiful. Family bonding: great. Branson sneaking into the cave like it owns the place: inevitable.That leads perfectly into “popcorn brain,” the term for what happens when our attention starts bouncing between notifications, videos, headlines and entertainment like somebody dumped a bucket of mental popcorn into our skulls. Rizz has watched it happen with his kids, Rafe admits it happens to him during the show, and suddenly everybody realizes this isn't just a teenager problem. We're all cooked.Rafe also celebrates his 3,000th comedy set, which is legitimately impressive and therefore cannot be discussed for long without everyone confusing Mr. 3000 with Mr. Baseball. Congratulations, Rafe. Three thousand performances and you're still voluntarily sitting in this studio. Incredible commitment. Questionable judgment.A St. Louis story that's bizarre for all the wrong reasons: a regional Amber Alert, a supposedly stolen Dodge Charger and a missing child who investigators ultimately determined had never been inside the vehicle.

It's the kind of premise that makes you realize the person standing next to you at soccer practice may have a considerably more interesting LinkedIn than you do.They were looking for an extra $150–$300 a month for groceries… and somehow that turned into hundreds of thousands of dollars, reality TV, and a conversation about monster toys before most people finished their morning coffee.Emily and Nathan from TLC's Double Lives of Suburban Wives join The Rizzuto Show, and we have approximately 47 questions — several of which probably should not be asked before lunch.Emily's story starts in a place a lot of families know all too well: trying to make the bills work. She and Nathan were working opposite shifts to avoid daycare costs, running a woodworking business, and looking for a way to bring in an extra $150–$300 a month.Nothing crazy. Just grocery money.Then Nathan floated the idea of Emily making adult content.Fast-forward four years, and “grocery money” has become a full-blown business spread across multiple platforms. Emily explains how she started cautiously, why showing a real body with stretch marks and cellulite mattered to her, and how one of her earliest subscribers turned out to be what the industry calls a “whale.”Emily and Nathan also explain why they decided to put their lives on TLC's Double Lives of Suburban Wives, what it's like having cameras follow them around the St. Louis area, and why they haven't experienced the massive hometown backlash some people might expect.The conversation gets more serious as Emily discusses body positivity, the stigma surrounding mothers who create adult content, and how she and Nathan have handled conversations about their work with their family. Their position is pretty simple: they're happy, safe, providing for their family, and not particularly interested in living according to somebody else's expectations.Which is probably healthier than reading the comments section. Nobody has ever emerged from there improved.Then we get into the reality-TV side of things.Emily admits the women featured on Double Lives of Suburban Wives aren't necessarily one giant happy friend group. Different personalities, different levels of success, different struggles and — because television producers enjoy remaining employed — plenty of drama.Is some of it ego-driven? Is there competition? What happens when someone enters an already selective group? And could a second season crank things up even further?Emily gives us a glimpse without spoiling the show, while Nathan delivers perhaps the most efficient response to critics imaginable: if people don't approve of the business, maybe they should tell their husbands to stop subscribing.The conversation also covers how creating content changed Emily and Nathan's relationship, whether their views on monogamy have evolved, the truly astonishing variety of things people will pay to see online, and whether Rafe or Lern could theoretically find their own bizarre niche.From woodworking and reptile shows to reality television, body positivity, internet entrepreneurship, suburban gossip and some VERY specific customer requests, this funny podcast is essentially the American dream after somebody accidentally left the parental controls off.And underneath all the jokes is a surprisingly interesting conversation about money, marriage, judgment, family and what “normal” actually looks like when your side hustle becomes more successful than anybody expected.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    Episode 624 is here, and Brian Beckner and Ed Daly are covering an absolutely unhinged collection of stories from sports, entertainment, celebrity culture, and the internet. The guys open with a look back at the history of The Baller Lifestyle and the show's long-running inside joke behind the name before immediately getting into some truly bizarre territory. IN THIS EPISODE: The World's Smallest Penis Gets a Growth Spurt The man who claims to have the world's smallest penis has an enhancement procedure scheduled, funded in part by a surprisingly successful GoFundMe. Brian and Ed discuss the economics of internet sympathy, cosmetic procedures, and why people will apparently donate thousands of dollars to almost anything. The Silent iTunes Song Hack A brilliant old-school solution to the problem of your car automatically playing the first song in your iTunes library: a song consisting almost entirely of silence. The guys discuss the strange genius of solving technological annoyances with an even stranger technological workaround. ️ RIP: Vincent Pastore The guys remember the actor best known as Big Pussy Bonpensiero from The Sopranos and revisit one of the show's most memorable storylines. RIP: Don Nelson A look at the legendary NBA player and coach, including his championship career, his time with the Warriors and Mavericks, and his disastrous stint coaching the Knicks. RIP: Ben Jones / Cooter from The Dukes of Hazzard Brian and Ed discuss the actor behind one of television's most recognizable Southern characters. RIP: Glen Hansard The guys talk about the acclaimed Irish musician and his connection to The Commitments, along with the dangers of motorcycles. RIP: Tom Chadbon A brief tribute to the actor whose credits included Game of Thrones and Casino Royale. RIP: William Orbit The legendary producer's passing leads into a discussion of his work with Madonna, Blur, and other major artists. RIP: Robbie Albarado The guys remember the two-time Preakness-winning jockey and discuss the brutal physical demands of professional horse racing. Influencers, bizarre deaths & the internet Brian and Ed continue their unofficial investigation into the increasingly strange world of influencers, including a discussion of dangerous stunts and mysterious deaths. SPORTS Former NFL Receiver Arrested at a Bowling Alley Former NFL wide receiver Stedman Bailey is arrested after police allegedly find him engaged in sexual activity at a Florida mall bowling and arcade venue. Brian and Ed attempt to understand the decision-making involved in having sex in a public place surrounded by people who are literally there to bowl. The $800,000 Sports Betting Dispute A bettor claims he won nearly $800,000, only for Caesars to void the tickets over alleged violations of betting rules. Brian and Ed debate the fine print, sportsbooks, and whether casinos should be allowed to find technicalities when they don't want to pay a massive winning ticket. The Shohei Ohtani / Ippei Mizuhara Gambling Saga The conversation turns to gambling addiction, bookies, and the enormous amount of money reportedly lost in the Ohtani gambling scandal. Alleged NFL Player Investment Scam The guys discuss Mohamed Koulibaly, who was accused of running an e-commerce/investment scheme involving former NFL players before being found dead in a New Jersey swimming pool. Zach Hample Is Still Catching Everything The infamous baseball home-run ball hawk is back in the conversation after nearly catching another historic baseball. Brian and Ed discuss Hample's ability to predict where baseballs are going — and whether being a professional home-run ball collector is one of the world's most annoying hobbies. The Mookie Betts Foul Ball That Got Away Brian revisits the time Mookie Betts hit a foul ball directly toward him and he failed to make the catch, despite being perfectly positioned. Former Cal State Bakersfield Coach Gets Prison Time An update on the former Cal State Bakersfield basketball coach who was convicted in connection with a prostitution operation. VOICEMAILS & LISTENER MAIL Lala LSU Calls In The voicemail segment returns with Lala LSU, including a reminder of his signature sign-off and his now-infamous song. Should The Baller Lifestyle Do 75 Hard? Brian considers taking on another round of 75 Hard, potentially involving listeners and an additional daily guitar-practice requirement. The guys discuss discipline, habit formation, goal setting, and whether committing to a structured challenge through Thanksgiving could provide some much-needed motivation. Hash Browns vs. Home Fries A listener wants to settle one of the most important debates in breakfast history. Brian and Ed pick sides — while acknowledging that certain Irish-style breakfast potatoes may deserve consideration. Cocaine Wars: Tim Raines vs. Doc Gooden The Baller Lifestyle's unofficial Cocaine Wars returns. This time the competitors are two MLB legends: Tim "Rock" Raines Dwight "Doc" Gooden The guys discuss the notorious cocaine use of both players, including Raines' infamous habit of carrying cocaine in his uniform pocket and Gooden's struggles with addiction during his spectacular but troubled career. And, of course, the show gets another custom AI-generated Cocaine Wars theme song. The "Rot" Has Set In A listener submits a bizarre take on Mets rookie pitcher Jeffrey Yan celebrating after a strikeout, leading Brian and Ed into a discussion about player celebrations, individuality, ego, and the increasingly dramatic policing of professional athletes' behavior. How Often Do You Check Your Fly? A listener asks the guys how frequently they make sure their zipper is actually zipped. This leads to an unfortunately detailed discussion of zipper-related injuries and Brian's history of unfortunate encounters with his own pants. The Technology Problem Brian and Ed discuss the strange reality of modern technology, convenience, smartphones, and the idea that we're increasingly tethered to the machines in our pockets. The conversation eventually reaches Ted Kaczynski, The Terminator, data centers, and the uncomfortable possibility that some of the concerns about technology were not entirely insane — even if the methods were. PATREON / BONUS CONTENT The regular episode wraps up with a reminder that the show continues exclusively for Patreon subscribers. Brian and Ed then dive into even more bizarre stories, including: ️ The Influencer Who Allegedly Had Relationships With 50–75 Prisoners An internet personality allegedly maintained relationships with dozens of incarcerated men, leaving Brian and Ed with one major unanswered question: How exactly was she getting access to all these inmates? Death's Door A young couple disappears while kayaking near Wisconsin's infamous Death's Door, a dangerous stretch of water with a long history of shipwrecks.

    Brad Fiedel wrote one of the most recognisable pieces of music in film history, and he did it on a drum machine, a sequencer and a keyboard chained together with a computer ribbon cable, before MIDI was really a thing. The famous lurch in the rhythm is him hitting a button by hand and deciding the wobble was better than the fix. Years later Henry Mancini rang up wanting to record it with a big band, and the man writing the lead sheet couldn't work out the time signature.There is a lot more to Brad than Terminator, and that's really what this conversation is about. He grew up inside his parents' school of the arts on Long Island, his dad a jazz musician, his mum a modern dancer who studied with Martha Graham. He spent years improvising live for dance classes, which turned out to be exactly the muscle a film composer needs, though nobody told him that at the time. He nearly signed to Columbia. He played keys for Hall and Oates in 1974 and jammed with the band that became the E Street Band. He was working with Arthur Miller and Vanessa Redgrave before James Cameron ever called.We get into temp tracks and why he never did his best work against one, when a scene is better off with no music at all, the direction Cameron gave him on the canal chase in T2, and the moment after the True Lies sessions when a small voice told him he was finished. These days his regular gig is writing musicals with first graders in Santa Barbara, and he's very clear that he gets as much out of it as they do.This podcast is completely independent and made possible by listener support.

    August 2, 2026.In this broadcast, host Tim Ozman provides a critical analysis of modern media as a series of engineered theatrical productions rather than spontaneous news events. Ozman introduces the concept of “systemic fakery” and the “meta script,” proposing that major global events are prefabricated decades in advance by government-aligned entertainment directors. The discussion focuses on transitioning the audience from “media believers” to “media Gnostics”—individuals who use pattern recognition to see through the “world stage”. Ozman deconstructs recent events like the Twin Falls shooting and the Trump assassination attempt, framing them as “fast food psyops” designed to manipulate the emotional state of the public and maintain a state of “mind war”.Key Topics* Twin Falls “Nothing Burger”: A deconstruction of the In-N-Out Burger shooting, which Ozman labels a “fast food psyop” characterized by “Scooby-Doo justice”.* Jordan Salinas (The Fearless Patriot): Analysis of an alleged hero who Ozman suggests is a crisis actor because he foreshadowed his role in a social media post two years prior.* Metascriptors: The role of directors like Christopher Nolan and James Cameron in producing “psyop prep” for future global events.* The Off-World Stage Perspective: A mindset of “skeptical suspension” that allows individuals to exit the “mind war” and stop reacting emotionally to media narratives.* Giancarlo Esposito as an Obama Proxy: How the actor is typecast across multiple films to play an “Obama” character antagonistic to “Trump” figures.* The “Dualopoly”: The idea that mainstream and alternative media are two sides of the same closed system designed to triangulate the public.* History Bending: The process where accumulated fake news cycles are merged with real events to create a fictional collective history.* Concurrent Programming: The identification of “engineered coincidences” where media and entertainment release relevant content at the exact same time as a “live” event.* Realville Colony: The establishment of a new intellectual space for those who have “unplugged” from both mainstream and controlled-opposition narratives.* The News Testament: Ozman's term for the “new scripture” provided by media to keep the public in a state of fear and subservience.Notable Quotes* “Time to activate your pattern-recognizing monkey brains.”* “These events are occurring within the confines of a fictional universe.”* “You do have to systematically filter out the incoming fake events.”* “We are invading the world stage space with an outside perspective.”* “Depicting the nuke on the big screen... they're educating us for future fake events.”* “Don't be conscripted into the mind war.”* “There are no coincidences on the world stage... these are engineered coincidences.”* “Conspiracy theories are scripted psyops.”* “Your future has been written in advance.”* “We are psyop critics. Psyop criticism is actually fun and entertaining.”Host Reading Audience Comments* Reading Nate: “I guess you can't recognize the force of fakery. In psyops, they make you forget the past ops.”* Reading Gwylem: “Someone I try to enlighten is having none of it. You have no respect for my ability to interrupt the world.”* Reading Lost But Not Alone: “This old flip-flopping ass channel... You made it to mid-fed agent yet?”* Reading Violet Pangon: “Harrison Ford turned 84 in 713 this year while they're playing out Air Force One stuff... worried over assassinate.”* Reading Ademski: “8-4 was a Tuesday, 9-11 was a Tuesday.”Breakdown: The August 4th (8/4) Assassination PredictionThe broadcast identifies August 4th (8/4) as a date of massive symbolic and “metascripted” importance for a potential global event or “JFK-ification” of Donald Trump. The prediction is based on several converging patterns:* Numerical Significance: 8/4 is the 216th day of the year, which Ozman notes is 6 cubed (6x6x6), invoking “Mark of the Beast” symbolism.* Historical Precedents: 8/4 is the birthday of Barack Obama, the primary “metascript” antagonist to Trump, and the date George Washington became a Mason.* Assassination Connections: James Brady, the press secretary shot during the Reagan assassination attempt, died on 8/4, exactly 33 years after being shot. There was also a failed assassination attempt on Maduro on 8/4/2018.* The “Butler” Loop: Trump returned to Butler, Pennsylvania—the site of his first head wound—exactly 84 days (12 weeks) after the initial shooting.* Media Deaths: Marilyn Monroe (associated with JFK) died on the night of 8/4. Additionally, AFL-CIO president Richard Trumka (whose name sounds like “Trump”) died late on 8/4 after being elected president of his union at age 33.* Predictive Programming: The film Terminator (released in 1984 or 8/4) features an assassination attempt by a sniper. Ozman argues these layers of “concerted messaging” suggest that 8/4 is a target date for a “paradigm-shattering psyop”.You can also now find IPS on the following Podcast platforms:APPLE:SPOTIFY:YT MUSIC: This is a public episode.
