Dr. Beckett hosts a conversation with Josh Luber about Luber's long “BlindBoxification” white paper (136 pages) and the broader trend of blind-box style products in sports cards and beyond. Luber discusses the paper as a conversation-starter and potentially a living document, with ideas for a V2, a book-form revision, or a limited podcast series; he also shares research learnings from other industries, including examples like brands attempting blind boxes and the problems it created. They  reference Blaise Pascal's quote about the pleasure of the hunt and ties it to collecting and uncertainty, then challenges and expands Luber's “hits vs filler” framework into four categories: truly collectible cards (TCCs) not meant to be sold, hits meant to be sold as currency, filler with attributes, and low-value “zeroes,” with discussion of when grading matters across those categories. They debate older collectors and set-building, with Beckett pushing back on calling it an “impossible dream” for vintage set completion while agreeing modern products like 2023 Prizm make traditional set collecting impossible and may accelerate the end of sets. They also explore digital repacks and expected value, transparency, buybacks, and why repack models are spreading because anyone can build them without owning rights. Beckett raises concerns that if repack buyback transactions become tracked by pricing tools, repeated circulation could create a downward pricing spiral, and the episode ends with both acknowledging how buyback percentages could lead to a “race to the bottom.”   00:50 Why Blindboxification Matters 01:38 A Living Document and V2 Plans 03:31 Pascal and the Thrill of the Hunt 05:05 Hits, Filler, and Four Categories 09:00 Set Building and Grumpy Collectors 11:26 Digital Repacks and Expected Value 13:09 Hybrid Repacks and Industry Moves 14:12 Transparency and the Race Down

Last week, millions of people watched one of our own stand behind a podium on Jeopardy! — and win. Toronto lawyer James Hirsh, co-host of The CJN's long-running Menschwarmers podcast, became the latest Canadian contestant to compete and succeed on the iconic American game show. Hirsh says it was “the thrill of a lifetime” to be selected, to fly down to the Alex Trebek studio at Sony Pictures in Culver City, near Hollywood, where he taped several episodes of Jeopardy! It all happened about three weeks ago, but he's had to keep quiet about how he fared. Until now, as the episodes started airing this week on millions of television screens across North America. Hirsh had decades of practice to prepare for his small-screen debut: as a teenager, he was reigning champion at his summer camp's version of the game show, over four seasons. The prize money back then was enough to buy some beers. This time, his actual Jeopardy! winnings will help the father-of-three pay off his family's mortgage. He also won a custom Jeopardy! hat and a tote bag, but he says the best prize is a coveted tagline to his bio: he can now say “I was on Jeopardy!” On today's rebroadcast of The CJN's North Star podcast, host Ellin Bessner chats with James Hirsh about what it was like under the bright lights, what questions stumped him and how he regrets wearing the wrong shoes.

Story Transcript:Da: Kulden ramte Emil, da han steg ud af den varme skolebus og ind i den isnende februar-luft.En: The cold hit Emil as he stepped out of the warm school bus and into the icy February air.Da: Snefnuggene dalede forsigtigt ned over Den Blå Planet, Københavns Nationalakvarium, der strakte sig foran ham som en moderne oase af viden og havets magi.En: Snowflakes drifted gently down over Den Blå Planet, Københavns Nationalakvarium, which stretched out in front of him like a modern oasis of knowledge and marine magic.Da: Han trak sin hue tættere om ørerne og fulgte efter sine klassekammerater ind i bygningens varme omfavnelse.En: He pulled his cap tighter around his ears and followed his classmates into the building's warm embrace.Da: Inde i akvariet var verden en anden.En: Inside the aquarium, the world was different.Da: Farverne dansede fra de kæmpe tanke, der var fyldt med havets mange forestillinger, og Emil kunne ikke lade være med at tabe pusten lidt.En: Colors danced from the giant tanks filled with the sea's many wonders, and Emil couldn't help but catch his breath a little.Da: Pludselig var vinterens grå dysterhed afløst af rifter af blå, grøn og gylden, der glitrede og bevægede sig med vandets blide bevægelser.En: Suddenly, winter's gray gloom was replaced by streaks of blue, green, and golden, shimmering and moving with the water's gentle motions.Da: Freja, Emil's klassekammerat, var allerede foran gruppen.En: Freja, Emil's classmate, was already ahead of the group.Da: Hun pegede ivrigt på en stor haj, der svømmede forbi en af tankene, og hendes stemme fyldte hurtigt rummet med en smittende entusiasme.En: She eagerly pointed at a large shark that swam past one of the tanks, and her voice quickly filled the room with infectious enthusiasm.Da: "Se på dens tænder!"En: "Look at its teeth!"Da: udbrød hun med et glimt i øjet.En: she exclaimed with a twinkle in her eye.Da: Emil nikkede ivrigt, men hans tanker var fast fokuseret på det, han virkelig glædede sig til at se: blæksprutten.En: Emil nodded eagerly, but his thoughts were firmly focused on what he was really excited to see: the octopus.Da: Han havde læst og set så meget om dem hjemme, at tanken om at se en sådan skabning i virkeligheden var næsten overvældende.En: He had read and watched so much about them at home that the thought of seeing such a creature in real life was almost overwhelming.Da: Men samtidig kunne han mærke nervøsiteten snige sig ind.En: But at the same time, he could feel the nervousness creeping in.Da: Ville han kunne tale om det, han vidste, uden at virke for "nørdet"?En: Would he be able to talk about what he knew without coming off as too much of a "nerd"?Da: Gruppen bevægede sig langsomt fra tank til tank, indtil de nåede området for blæksprutterne.En: The group slowly moved from tank to tank until they reached the area for the octopuses.Da: Emil stoppede op, hans blik fanget af de elegant svømmende væsner, der syntes at svæve gennem vandet med en fredfyldt kontrol.En: Emil stopped, his gaze captured by the elegantly swimming creatures that seemed to glide through the water with a peaceful control.Da: Det var nu eller aldrig.En: It was now or never.Da: Med en dyb indånding stillede han sig frem.En: With a deep breath, he stepped forward.Da: "Vidste I, at blæksprutten har tre hjerter?"En: "Did you know that the octopus has three hearts?"Da: forsøgte han lavmælt.En: he ventured quietly.Da: Freja kiggede pludselig nysgerrigt på ham, og for første gang følte Emil en bølge af selvtillid.En: Freja suddenly looked at him with curiosity, and for the first time, Emil felt a wave of confidence.Da: "Og deres blod er blåt på grund af kobberet.En: "And their blood is blue because of the copper.Da: De er også mægtigt intelligente!"En: They are also incredibly intelligent!"Da: tilføjede han, og hans stemme steg en smule i takt med Frejas og de andre børns voksende interesse.En: he added, and his voice rose slightly in sync with Freja's and the other children's growing interest.Da: Han kunne ikke tro det – han havde deres opmærksomhed.En: He couldn't believe it – he had their attention.Da: Freja smilede stort.En: Freja beamed.Da: "Det vidste jeg ikke, Emil!En: "I didn't know that, Emil!Da: Det er sejt!"En: That's cool!"Da: sagde hun og nikkede opmuntrende.En: she said, nodding encouragingly.Da: Emils lærer klappede ham på skulderen, og anerkendelsen fra både lærer og kammerater fyldte ham med stolthed.En: Emil's teacher patted him on the shoulder, and the recognition from both teacher and peers filled him with pride.Da: Den nervøse klump, der havde rederet i hans mave, smeltede væk, som havde han endelig smeltet igennem vinterens sne.En: The nervous knot that had been nesting in his stomach melted away, as if he had finally thawed through winter's snow.Da: Efter turen tilbage til skolen, sad Emil roligt i bussen.En: After the return trip to school, Emil sat calmly on the bus.Da: Han tænkte på dagen og indså, at hans nysgerrighed og lidenskab havde skabt en forbindelse med Freja og resten af klassen.En: He thought about the day and realized that his curiosity and passion had created a connection with Freja and the rest of the class.Da: Han følte sig klar til at dele endnu mere, un-seelv om det altid ville føles lidt nervepirrende.En: He felt ready to share even more, even if it would always feel a bit nerve-wracking.Da: For han havde lært, at hans passion for havets mysterier kunne inspirere andre lige så meget, som det inspirerede ham selv.En: For he had learned that his passion for the ocean's mysteries could inspire others just as much as it inspired him.Da: Vinteren var stadig udenfor, men inde i Emil var der kommet et lille glimt af forår.En: Winter was still outside, but inside Emil, there was a little glimpse of spring.

Featuring Eric McCormack on Jack Nash, Alien Viruses, and the Thrill of a Classic Techno‑Thriller I revisit the 2008 mini‑series adaptation of Michael Crichton's The Andromeda Strain — a story that blends hard science, government secrecy, and the terrifying possibility of an extraterrestrial pathogen. This look‑back is built from a press conference at the time of release, featuring Eric McCormack, who stepped into the role of investigative cable‑news reporter Jack Nash. Nash becomes the unlikely first witness to a fallen satellite and the classified alien microorganism known as Andromeda — a discovery that pulls him into a crisis far bigger than any breaking‑news cycle.

When the Thrill is Gone by Lighthouse Baptist Church | Williamsport, MD

Faith looks to Jesus when despair would be easy.We often think of faith as something we must work up or conjure within ourselves. But what if faith is actually a response to being pursued? In Matthew 9:27-34, we read about Jesus healing two blind men who persistently pursued Him, followed by the healing of a mute man who needed to be brought to Jesus by others. In this sermon, we explore the beautiful truth that because Jesus pursues us first, we are free to pursue him in return.

Mens Room Question: How did food end up being a part of the story?

Stewart Alsop interviews Tomas Yu, CEO and founder of Turn-On Financial Technologies, on this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast. They explore how Yu's company is revolutionizing the closed-loop payment ecosystem by creating a universal float system that allows gift card credits to be used across multiple merchants rather than being locked to a single business like Starbucks. The conversation covers the complexities of fintech regulation, the differences between open and closed loop payment systems, and Yu's unique background that combines Korean martial arts discipline with Mexican polo culture. They also dive into Yu's passion for polo, discussing the intimate relationship between rider and horse, the sport's elitist tendencies in different regions, and his efforts to build polo communities from El Paso to New Mexico. Find Tomas on LinkedIn under Tommy (TJ) Alvarez.Timestamps00:00 Introduction to TurnOn Technologies02:45 Understanding Float and Its Implications05:45 Decentralized Gift Card System08:39 Navigating the FinTech Landscape11:19 The Role of Merchants and Consumers14:15 Challenges in the Gift Card Market17:26 The Future of Payment Systems23:12 Understanding Payment Systems: Stripe and POS26:47 Regulatory Landscape: KYC and AML in Payments27:55 The Impact of Economic Conditions on Financial Systems36:39 Transitioning from Industrial to Information Age Finance38:18 Curiosity and Resourcefulness in the Information Age45:09 Social Media and the Dynamics of Attention46:26 From Restaurant to Polo: A Journey of Mentorship49:50 The Thrill of Polo: Learning and Obsession54:53 Building a Team: Breaking Elitism in Polo01:00:29 The Unique Bond: Understanding the Horse-Rider Relationship01:05:21 Polo Horses: Choosing the Right Breed for the GameKey Insights1. Turn-On Technologies is revolutionizing payment systems through behavioral finance by creating a decentralized "float" system. Unlike traditional gift cards that lock customers into single merchants like Starbucks, Turn-On allows universal credit that works across their entire merchant ecosystem. This addresses the massive gift card market where companies like Starbucks hold billions in customer funds that can only be used at their locations.2. The financial industry operates on an exclusionary "closed loop" versus "open loop" system that creates significant friction and fees. Closed loop systems keep money within specific ecosystems without conversion to cash, while open loop systems allow cash withdrawal but trigger heavy regulation. Every transaction through traditional payment processors like Stripe can cost merchants 3-8% in fees, representing a massive burden on businesses.3. Point-of-sale systems function as the financial bloodstream and credit scoring mechanism for businesses. These systems track all card transactions and serve as the primary data source for merchant lending decisions. The gap between POS records and bank deposits reveals cash transactions that businesses may not be reporting, making POS data crucial for assessing business creditworthiness and loan risk.4. Traditional FinTech professionals often miss obvious opportunities due to ego and institutional thinking. Yu encountered resistance from established FinTech experts who initially dismissed his gift card-focused approach, despite the trillion-dollar market size. The financial industry's complexity is sometimes artificially maintained to exclude outsiders rather than serve genuine regulatory purposes.5. The information age is creating a fundamental divide between curious, resourceful individuals and those stuck in credentialist systems. With AI and LLMs amplifying human capability, people who ask the right questions and maintain curiosity will become exponentially more effective. Meanwhile, those relying on traditional credentials without underlying curiosity will fall further behind, creating unprecedented economic and social divergence.6. Polo serves as a powerful business metaphor and relationship-building tool that mirrors modern entrepreneurial challenges. Like mixed martial arts evolved from testing individual disciplines, business success now requires being competent across multiple areas rather than excelling in just one specialty. The sport also creates unique networking opportunities and teaches valuable lessons about partnership between human and animal.7. International financial systems reveal how governments use complexity and capital controls to maintain power over citizens. Yu's observations about Argentina's financial restrictions and the prevalence of cash economies in Latin America illustrate how regulatory complexity often serves political rather than protective purposes, creating opportunities for alternative financial systems that provide genuine value to users.
