Derrière les célèbres lunettes Ray-Ban se cache un empire industriel de plusieurs dizaines de milliards d'euros. Quatre ans après la mort de son fondateur, Leonardo Del Vecchio, les héritiers d'EssilorLuxottica s'affrontent autour de la gouvernance du groupe. Une bataille familiale qui dépasse largement le secteur de l'optique et pourrait avoir des répercussions sur une partie de la finance italienne. Ray-Ban est l'une des marques les plus célèbres au monde. Popularisées notamment par Tom Cruise dans Top Gun, ces lunettes sont devenues une véritable icône. Mais derrière cette marque mythique se cache un gigantesque groupe européen : EssilorLuxottica. À l'origine de cet empire, l'entrepreneur italien Leonardo Del Vecchio. Tout au long de sa vie, l'homme d'affaires a construit méthodiquement Luxottica jusqu'à en faire le leader mondial de la lunette. Son intuition est simple: une paire de lunettes n'est pas seulement un objet destiné à corriger la vue, c'est aussi un accessoire de mode. Il rachète ainsi des marques prestigieuses comme Ray-Ban ou Oakley, signe des licences avec les plus grandes maisons de luxe et développe ses propres réseaux de distribution. Son objectif est clair: maîtriser toute la chaîne de valeur, de la conception des montures jusqu'au client final. En 2018, Luxottica franchit une nouvelle étape en fusionnant avec le Français Essilor, spécialiste mondial des verres correcteurs. Naît alors EssilorLuxottica, un mastodonte mondial de l'optique qui est aujourd'hui au cœur d'une bataille de succession. À lire aussiEn Italie, la plus vieille banque du monde, objet de toutes les convoitises Pourquoi les héritiers de Ray-Ban se déchirent-ils ? À la mort de Leonardo Del Vecchio, en 2022, sa fortune et le contrôle de la holding familiale, valorisée à près de 46 milliards d'euros, sont répartis à parts égales entre huit héritiers : ses six enfants, sa veuve et son beau-fils. Sur le papier, cette répartition paraît équitable. Dans les faits, elle complique fortement la gouvernance de l'entreprise. Avec seulement 12,5% du capital chacun, aucun héritier ne dispose d'une majorité. Toutes les décisions importantes nécessitent donc un consensus. Une situation que les spécialistes de la gouvernance résument simplement : lorsque tout le monde détient le même pouvoir, chacun possède en réalité un droit de veto. L'un des fils de Leonardo Del Vecchio souhaite aujourd'hui sortir de cette impasse. Son projet consiste à racheter les parts de son frère et de sa sœur pour un montant estimé à près de 10 milliards d'euros. S'il y parvient, il détiendrait 37,5% de la holding familiale. Il ne serait pas majoritaire, mais deviendrait de très loin le principal actionnaire, avec un poids suffisant pour orienter les décisions stratégiques du groupe. Mais ce plan se heurte à plusieurs obstacles. Réunir 10 milliards d'euros, même pour l'une des familles les plus riches d'Europe, est une opération complexe. Les banques impliquées réclament davantage de garanties et le conseil d'administration de la holding est lui-même divisé. Certains administrateurs refusent d'apporter leur soutien au projet, ce qui place aujourd'hui cette opération dans une impasse. À lire aussiDépart de Tim Cook d'Apple: quels risques pour une entreprise quand son dirigeant s'en va? Pourquoi cette succession dépasse largement le marché des lunettes Si cette affaire familiale est suivie de près par les investisseurs, c'est parce que la holding de la famille Del Vecchio ne contrôle pas uniquement EssilorLuxottica. Elle détient également des participations importantes dans plusieurs poids lourds de la finance italienne, comme les banques UniCredit et Monte dei Paschi ou encore l'assureur Generali. Au total, son portefeuille financier est estimé à environ 16 milliards d'euros. Autrement dit, lorsque les héritiers se disputent le contrôle de cette holding, ce ne sont pas seulement les lunettes Ray-Ban qui sont concernées. Cette bataille peut également avoir des conséquences sur la gouvernance de plusieurs grands établissements financiers italiens. Au-delà du cas Del Vecchio, cette succession illustre un défi auquel seront confrontées de nombreuses entreprises familiales dans les années à venir : celui de la transmission. Construire un empire est une chose. Le transmettre en est une autre. Et c'est parfois l'épreuve la plus difficile.

Ron swears he looks like young Johnny Depp (everyone else sees Benjamin Franklin). Tony puts his dog down and immediately starts calculating the housework savings. A cop dresses as a tree to catch speeders, Neil deGrasse Tyson ruins Top Gun, and Batman somehow doubles subway chivalry. Add turkey-bacon lies, fruit-sticker rage, lasagna-noodle warfare, and the annual “is the Earth flat?” round. Pure, unfiltered FU Friday. They somehow turn Yoko Ono's ass, a 20-year rotting fish-sauce stench, and whether “schmear” is a scam into legitimate conversation topics. Come for the chaos, stay because you can't look away.

Val is a documentary about the Top Gun and Batman star, and late Hollywood heartthrob Val Kilmer. Many knew him from his blockbuster films, but didn't know the more personal aspects of his life, and his struggle with throat cancer. The A24 Rocks crew reviews this autobiographical documentary, and the host sparks some heated debate: was this a poignant autobiography or did it whitewash the more troublesome aspects of Val Kilmer's life?

WARDOGS ran its first ever gameplay livestream this week and it went about as well as you'd expect from a studio full of guys in their late twenties: the alpha codes were a QR-code disaster, the stream started two hours late, and it ended with a Twitch ban for throwing a sex toy across the room. And yet — the actual gameplay looked incredible. We break down everything we saw: the enormous map, the three-team control zone loop, the destructible environments, the buy menu, and why Bulkhead's 60 FPS performance floor and "gamers first, devs second" attitude has us more hyped for this game than anything else on the calendar. Plus: is a monthly subscription for better servers and anti-cheat a genuinely good idea or the start of a slippery slope? Then it's Hell Let Loose: Vietnam, which just opened its first free crossplay playtest on the new Đắk Tô Airfield map — the performance is fixed, the hit reg is fixed, and the map is a massive upgrade over that awful jungle one. And Battlefield 6 Season 4 finally brought naval warfare, Tsuru Reef, and a Top Gun crossover that people are somehow mad about. We close with what we've actually been playing — Overwatch ranked, Stellaris Nomads, a lot of Tarkov, and one MMO Raz will absolutely keep playing despite telling you not to touch it. Jake's out here getting one-tapped in Tarkov. Raz is defending a game he just called a pile of dog shit.

Another Sacrilegious Sunday goes completely off the rails as Chino, Homeboy, and a severely congested Hate Jones deliver nearly three hours of unfiltered comedy, arguments, military commentary, cultural debates, wedding stories, and extremely questionable science.The crew starts by redesigning marriage as a renewable military contract before diving into Japan's Chicano subculture and debating the difference between cultural appreciation, appropriation, and straight-up Columbus-ing somebody else's culture. Somehow, this leads to *The Last Samurai*, Tom Cruise's intense handshake, the Manila–Acapulco galleon trade, and the historical connection between Mexico and the Philippines.Hate Jones then recaps his wedding, the heroic quantity of homemade alcohol he prepared, the invention of the word “squoze,” and the post-wedding adventure that turned one drink into an all-night discussion about sexuality, attraction, identity, trans dating, threesomes, and whether heterosexuality is actually the rarest kink of them all.The second half gets military-heavy as the crew reacts to a child-abuse confrontation, a dangerously low Blue Angels beach flyover, proposed testosterone screenings, new Army waist-to-height standards, VA dependent-verification disasters, and the Tuskegee Airmen's long-erased victory in America's original Top Gun competition.Finally, the Deadpool returns with aerial accidents, celebrity deaths, irresponsible relationship advice, and an emergency lesson explaining why a magnitude-four earthquake is absolutely not half as powerful as a magnitude eight.This episode contains explicit language, sexual discussions, dark humor, offensive jokes, military stories, and opinions nobody should mistake for professional advice.Like the episode, subscribe to the channel, and tell us in the comments: Is Japan's Chicano culture appreciation, appropriation, or both?0:00 Intro, Illness and Renewable Marriage Contracts11:08 Japanese Chicanos: Appreciation vs. Appropriation24:24 The Last Samurai and Tom Cruise27:26 Mexico, the Philippines and the Galleon Trade29:57 Hate Jones' Wedding and the Invention of “Squoze”51:00 The Post-Wedding Tacos and Bar Adventure1:00:26 Attraction, Sexuality and What “Counts” as Gay1:25:27 Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome1:28:53 Chosen Names and the Chili's Firing Debate1:36:10 Is This Child Abuse?1:41:13 Blue Angels Beach Flyover and Military Safety1:51:23 Testosterone Tests and New Army Body Standards2:13:52 VA Dependent Verification Warning2:20:17 The Tuskegee Airmen's Erased Top Gun Victory2:23:15 Deadpool: Aerial Accidents and Celebrity Deaths2:41:25 Relationship Advice and Earthquake Mathematics#ChinoAndHomeboy #ComedyPodcast #LatinoPodcast #FilipinoPodcast #Looksmaxing #OnlyFans #PodcastClips #DarkComedy #InternetCulture #18PlusComedy #Drake #BadBunny #TaylorSwift #FilipinoCulture #SpiderFighting

Not just Independence Day, but all month long, American citizens are celebrating our nation's semiquincentennial called “America 250.” Other fans from around the world are joining in! But some folks, of course, feel uncertain about such patriotism. Don't our countries have a lot of problems? Isn't our eternal citizenship in Heaven? Let's explore how Scripture endorses “the glory and honor of the nations.” And let's recall how fantastical stories illustrate this good love of our country.[1.

Why some struggle to love their homeland We'll disclaim illegitimate hatred or homeland, called oikophobia. Some prefer imaginary or opposite “homes” rather than real ones. Still others are rank traitors for bad reasons, and can be rejected. Yet more legitimately, “home” has a bad stigma for some people. We must not let “home was bad for me” turn into “it's bad for all.” Nor should we let this impulse turn into “the nation is bad for all.” Yes, a few countries are built on truly wicked foundations. But most are not—certainly not those with listeners to us now. Even if people do like America, however, they may feel guilty. A similar impulse occurs to Christians who like other earthly gifts. “Our treasure is in heaven, so nothing here on Earth matters.” Subtle gnosticism: if it all burns, why value these temporal places? 2. How stories remind us of good homelands Naturally we begin with the classics by authors who loved England. Lewis and Tolkien saw bad battles and offered critiques at home. But their stories remind us how good heroes fight for their peoples. Hobbits foresee the danger to the Shire and leave home to stop it. Aragorn loves his people and his country, despite their flaws. Faramir doesn't love weapons but “that [land] which they defend.” Narnia's kings and allies fight for her and for other good countries. The Horse and His Boy is about the good country of Archenland. Even harsh Calormenes, opposed to Narnia, have good qualities. Classic sci-fi by the French Jules Verne honors American spirit. Japanese stories adore American heroes, and we return the favor. On this side of the pond, stories show America's flaws and heroes. Independence Day (1996) shows a pulpified-U.S. fighting aliens. Transformers and Top Gun movies tend to follow that tradition. Overtly “patriotic” stories are more about flavor, not philosophy. Back in the UK, Stephen thinks Harry Potter shows this differently. Spoilers: Harry learns Prof. Dumbledore made a lot of mistakes. Yet the grown-up Harry chooses to stay on his mentor's side. And really, such open-eyed loyalty is the root of good patriotism. 3. And yes, good countries could last forever. These are good enough reasons to love even temporal gifts. But let's add more. I believe great nations are in fact eternal. Why? Because of direct promises about eternity in Scripture. By [the city's] light will the nations walk, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it, and its gates will never be shut by day—and there will be no night there. They will bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations. Revelation 21: 24-26 John could have said “earthly kingdoms get destroyed.” He didn't. He clearly means us to think that earthly authorities can continue. And he specifically says “the glory and the honor of the nations.” It would appear that nations (groups of people) are not sinful. New Earth is the fulfillment of God's original purpose for Earth. So why not New Israel? New India? New Britain? New America? Could the “glory and honor” include fireworks? Hot dogs? Ideas? Jesus is King of all eternity. Yet other “kings” will also be known. Other verses refer to saints having leadership in the New Earth. Could some lands try different models? Monarchy? Democracy? Perhaps in the New Earth, we'll see the best of all those systems. Voting could continue, in some ways, certainly at smaller scales. If this seems weird, recall that nations are just large people groups. No prophecy implies a removal of today's diversity of humans. Nor does it imply that everyone will love everyone else the same. New Earth will not sanctify “everyone belongs to everyone else.” Surely, after loving Jesus most, we'll also love others differently. You'll love your own family “more” than other people's families. And if you were married, you'll love him or her more than others. So it is with countries. It's okay, even good, to have preferences. We want people to like their own spouses/families/countries most. So if that impulse will be right forever, it can also be right today. For more, read this: Why I Look Forward to America 250,000. Com station Top question for listeners Have you ever struggled to love your homeland? Next on Fantastical Truth Lots of folks have said plenty about Christopher Nolan's controversial retelling of Homer's classic The Odyssey. We might see the movie. Or we might not. In either case, this book is an absolute cornerstone not just of human literature, but of fantastical fiction. How did this hero's journey change the course of all other heroic legends after him?

Is it still porch piracy if someone takes your packages by mistake... and gives them back a few hours later?That's the debate that kicks off today's episode of The Treehouse Show. Dan is convinced his Airbnb host became a porch pirate after his packages disappeared, while Trey thinks Dan is being a full-blown Karen because everything was returned just eight hours later. Where do you stand?We also celebrate celebrity birthdays with Tom Hanks and Kelly McGillis, looking at how two stars from Top Gun ended up on completely different Hollywood career paths. (And who remembers Tom Hanks on Family Ties?)Then things get wonderfully ridiculous as we revisit the man with the world's smallest penis, who's now crowdfunding for enlargement surgery. That naturally leads to one very important question: Why aren't penis transplants a thing?

Host Diana Korte speaks with naval aviator Dan Pedersen, author of  “TOPGUN. An American Story,” who was the boss of the group that formed the elite Navy Fighter Weapons School. Also known as the TOPGUN program, it began in Miramar, California 57 years ago.  CLASSIC. I'm re-airing this 2019 conversation with Dan in 4th of July week because his advice at the end of it, in particular, is a good reminder of the wages of war.    In this fast-paced memoir Dan, who enlisted in the US Navy in 1953, accumulated 7,000 flight hours and 1,014 carrier landings while flying 39 types of aircraft. He looks back at his personal life as well as his Navy aviation career from Miramar and Area 51 to the decks of aircraft carriers in war and peace.   Pilots from this famous school flew aerial scenes, including those of the Grumman F-14 Tomcats, in the 1986 movie, TOPGUN.

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific. The yen slid to its weakest level against the dollar since 1986, a milestone that will generate unease in Japan and put traders on high alert for authorities wading into the market. The currency depreciated 0.2% to touch 161.98 versus the greenback in New York trading overnight, breaching the 161.95 mark touched in July 2024 during an earlier campaign by Japan to shore up the exchange rate. The last time the yen traded at this level it was barreling in the opposite direction, midway through a massive and years-long rally that followed a currency accord engineered by the US. The world was a different place — Japan's asset bubble was still forming, the Soviet Union was cleaning up after the Chernobyl nuclear disaster and Top Gun had just launched Tom Cruise toward the pinnacle of Hollywood stardom.

Welcome to the Video Store Podcast.Celebrating America's 250th Birthday at the Video StoreThe red, white, and blue decorations are up at the Video Store as America celebrates its 250th birthday. Across the country, families are gathering for fireworks, cookouts, and long holiday weekends, and there's no better way to mark the occasion than with a great movie.For this special Fourth of July episode, I pulled four movies from the shelves that capture different chapters in American history. From the battlefields of the Revolution to the launch pads of the Space Race, from the cockpits of Navy fighter pilots to the occupied Rocky Mountains, these movies explore the values that have long defined the America: freedom, courage, sacrifice, and resilience.The Patriot (2000)To celebrate America's birthday we should start at the beginning. Roland Emmerich's The Patriot tells the story of Benjamin Martin, a widowed veteran of the French and Indian War who reluctantly joins the American Revolution after British forces bring the war to his home. Starring Mel Gibson, Heath Ledger, and Jason Isaacs, the film transforms the struggle for independence from a distant historical event into a deeply personal story of sacrifice and revenge.The Patriot released on VHS and DVD in October 2000 and is one of the final blockbuster releases of the VHS era.The Right Stuff (1983)Before America reached the Moon, there were the test pilots and astronauts who risked everything to get us there. The Right Stuff chronicles the early days of the Space Race, beginning with legendary test pilot Chuck Yeager and continuing through the Mercury Seven astronauts as America races to catch up with the Soviet Union.Featuring an outstanding cast the film is about much more than rockets and space capsules. It's about ambition, competition, courage, and the uniquely American belief that impossible challenges can be overcome through determination and ingenuity. Top Gun (1986)Few films capture American confidence and optimism quite like Top Gun. Tony Scott's blockbuster follows hotshot Navy pilot Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, played by Tom Cruise, as he attends the elite Naval Fighter Weapons School and learns that true greatness requires more than talent, it requires sacrifice, teamwork, and humility.Top Gun also changed the home video industry forever. When Paramount released the film on VHS in 1987 at the low price of $26.95, it sold nearly three million copies and helped establish the modern home video market.Red Dawn (1984)If the previous films celebrate America's founding, ambition, and confidence, Red Dawn asks what Americans are willing to sacrifice to defend them. John Milius's Cold War classic follows a group of Colorado teenagers who flee to the mountains after a Soviet and Cuban invasion and gradually transform themselves into resistance fighters.Like the citizen-soldiers of the American Revolution, the teenagers didn't fight for glory, but because they believe some things are worth defending. Red Dawn also made history as the first film released with the new PG-13 rating.Wolverines!

Teamwork really does make the dream work with this dynamic creative duo. Writer/director Michael Shoob and writer/producer Joe Mealey have been collaborating since the mid-1990s, creating critically acclaimed indie festival favorites such as Driven, Bush's Brain, and now their latest collaboration, Road to Everywhere. The film stars Whip Hubley of Top Gun fame alongside Native American actor, musician, painter, and all-around Renaissance man Robert Mirabal.Road to Everywhere is an indie film that has been cleverly described as a "coming-of-age film for grown-ups." Now, I may be a bit biased, but those seven words capture the heart of this film with remarkable accuracy.What I love about this episode of the podcast is that we get to chop it up with Michael and Joe as they give us the inside scoop on the indie filmmaking scene, along with insights into their successful collaborative process. Michael Shoob and Joe Mealey's passion for storytelling is self-evident as they effortlessly bring us into their world of creative collaboration. Listening to them feels a lot like sitting in on a DVD behind-the-scenes commentary track.Film buffs, beware—you are now in danger of nerding out.At any rate, these two storytellers don't seem to be slowing down on their Road to Everywhere.

Welcome back to Closing The Distance: Where Faith Meets Life. In this episode, we continue in the new Summer Series: Sidekicks! Rev. Morgan Burge and Rev. Jeff Meyers sit down and talk about the friendship between David and Jonathan. This episode is filled with understanding Jonathan's role in David's story in the book of Samuel, how Jonathan being a spy was a good thing, and how their friendship compares to the friendship between Maverick and Goose in the 80's film, Top Gun.

Just as Tom Cruise embarked on his run of Mission: Impossible and Top Gun sequels, he slipped in one of bolder choices too: an R-rated crime caper, based on a true story. Originally called Mena before being retitled American Made, the shoot saw the writer, director and star of the film living in the same house. It also saw wildly ambitious flying sequences, a tragic accident, a challenge when selling the film and a whole lot more.... Please subscribe to this show if you like it and leave a nice review.

00:01:40 — Manual Farts Only: A listener thinks the fart is part of the intro, and the crew proudly explains that BLC uses real, handcrafted gas like podcast artisans. 00:02:12 — Pride Month Musical Parker: Parker starts singing the show open, and the guys immediately question how a man who hates musicals keeps turning the podcast into one. 00:03:24 — Congratulations on Your Marriage, Sorry: The crew congratulates a listener on getting married, then immediately explains that 100% of divorces are caused by marriage. Romance is alive and filing paperwork. 00:04:01 — Not a Math Podcast: After absolutely butchering percentages, the crew reminds everyone that BLC is not accounting-related. Finally, a disclaimer that feels legally useful. 00:04:45 — Shirtless Men on the White House Lawn: The Freedom 250 becomes America's newest summer tradition: patriotic MMA, fighter jets, and watching grappling from the darkness. 00:06:13 — Kid Rock's Dream America: Fred describes the event's flyover energy as something between Top Gun, Kid Rock, Cobra Kai, and Idiocracy, which is either a warning or a campaign slogan. 00:11:34 — Sports Worm Reports Live: Sports Worm arrives from “Mexico,” insists he is an American worm, and immediately starts making World Cup predictions like someone who found soccer in a cereal box. 00:13:46 — Zamunda Wins the World Cup: Sports Worm picks Zamunda, then Wakanda, proving he may understand fictional geography better than actual soccer. 00:17:39 — USA by Default: Parker picks the United States because of America, while Fred backs Argentina and Messi with slightly more actual sports logic. 00:19:03 — Satan's World Cup Analysis: Satan predicts a U.S. win because the deals have already been made, which is probably still better than most betting podcasts. #blcpodcast #podcastingforthepeople #funny #podcast #greenvillesc #scpodcast #yeahthatgreenville Listen at: https://americasfavoritepodcast.com Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/blcpodcast/ Check us out on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blcpodcast/ Buy Fred and Allan Beer: https://www.patreon.com/blcworld

Episode 787: When people talk about the summer movies of 1986, the conversation usually starts with Top Gun and ends somewhere around Aliens, The Karate Kid Part II, and Ferris Bueller's Day Off. It was one of the strongest movie summers of the decade, packed with blockbusters that still dominate pop-culture conversations 40 years later. But every great movie season leaves a few worthy titles behind. This week on Stuck in the '80s, we revisit four films from the summer of 1986 that may not get the attention they deserve today: SpaceCamp, Legal Eagles, Nothing in Common, and Ruthless People. Each offered something unique, even if they were overshadowed by bigger releases. Support Our Sponsors Ready for the ultimate nostalgia vacation?

This week the Bad Dads ride across South America with The Motorcycle Diaries, Walter Salles's 2004 drama starring Gael García Bernal as young Ernesto Guevara and Rodrigo de la Serna as Alberto Granado.Before the main feature, the Dads count down their favourite movie motorcycles, from Arnie's shotgun-reloading Harley in Terminator 2 to Tom Cruise going full Cruise in Top Gun and Mission: Impossible, the Easy Rider chopper, Indy's sidecar, Tron's light cycles, Dumb and Dumber's scooter, John Wick's katana bike fight, Fonzie's Knucklehead and Dan's beloved World's Fastest Indian.What We CoveredTop 5 Motorcycles: a surprisingly rich category covering choppers, scooters, sidecars, sci-fi bikes, stunt riding and Tom Cruise's apparent allergy to helmets.La Poderosa: the battered Norton 500 that carries Ernesto and Alberto until it absolutely cannot, giving the film its comic engine and its road-movie shape.Memory vs rewatch: Sidey remembers seeing the film at the cinema and discovers he had misremembered the pair as having one bike each.Ernesto and Alberto: the Dads enjoy the friendship, the teasing, the appetite for adventure, and Alberto's role as a funny, earthy foil to Ernesto's more serious awakening.A journey through inequality: miners, indigenous communities, poverty, illness and exploitation gradually turn the trip from lads' adventure into political education.The leper colony: the San Pablo section becomes the emotional centre of the film, especially Ernesto's refusal to accept easy divisions between people.Che without the T-shirt: the group discuss how the film shows the conditions that could radicalise someone without reducing Guevara to a poster, slogan or merch logo.Show, don't tell politics: Sidey praises the film for making its points quietly; Reegs notes the documentary-like authenticity; Cris reflects on education, knowledge and the ability to imagine different power structures.Travel as transformation: Dan highlights the idea that any journey like this, at that age and through those conditions, would inevitably change you.Final images: the airport farewell, the real Alberto, the closing text and the real photographs give the film a wistful, reflective ending.Key Quotes / Moments“I thought they had a motorcycle each.”“I need your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle.”“Top five motorcycles. I'm amazed that we've not done this before.”“He's not the same me anymore.”“It doesn't ram his ideology down your throat.”“A strong recommend all round.”VerdictA strong recommend from the Dads. The Motorcycle Diaries is praised as warm, funny, beautiful and quietly powerful — a road movie about friendship, privilege, poverty and the moment a person starts to see the world differently.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

In Episode 159 of the MAX Afterburner Podcast, Matthew “Whiz” Buckley delivers an unfiltered SITREP on Operation Epic Fury, the escalating conflict with Iran, and the daily confusion surrounding negotiations, red lines, and America's strategic objectives.Pulling no punches, Whiz argues that proportional warfare is for losers and contends that the radical Islamic regime in Iran began its war against the United States nearly five decades ago. He examines President Trump's stated desire to finish that fight while questioning whether current negotiations and military strategy are achieving the desired outcome.Drawing on his experience as a TOPGUN fighter pilot who spent a lot of time in the region, Whiz discusses the dangers of prolonged military operations, the risks faced by America's young servicemembers, and why he believes dragging conflicts out can carry costs measured not only in lives lost, but in lives forever changed.He highlights the recent shootdown of a U.S. Army AH-64 Apache helicopter by Iranian forces. By the grace of God, both aviators survived. Yet Whiz challenges the notion that America should only respond decisively after fatalities occur. He argues that traumatic brain injuries, life-altering wounds, and invisible injuries suffered by servicemembers matter just as much as casualty statistics.As the founder of the No Fallen Heroes Foundation, Whiz has spent years working with veterans carrying the unseen wounds of war. He points out that repeated drone, missile, and proxy attacks don't have to kill American troops to inflict devastating consequences. Every attack risks creating another generation of warriors who return home carrying physical, emotional, and moral injuries that can last a lifetime.Whiz also challenges the idea that America's adversaries can be negotiated with as if they were business partners across a Manhattan real estate table. He questions whether mixed messaging, shifting red lines, and prolonged operations are putting more American lives at risk rather than bringing the conflict to a decisive conclusion.But this episode is about more than strategy and geopolitics.As always, Whiz speaks from the heart, reminding listeners that war is the ultimate failure of the human condition. Beneath the flags, politics, religions, and borders, we are all human beings. While he calls for decisive action when necessary, he also calls for peace—and for leaders to never forget the human cost paid by those sent into harm's way.Passionate. Provocative. Thought-provoking.This is an episode that will challenge assumptions, spark debate, and leave listeners thinking long after the debrief is over.Fight's On!

Nick welcomes music journalist Jim Ryan from Forbes.com back to the podcast to talk about the new Earth, Wind & Fire documentary and his recent interviews with Soundgarden guitarist Kim Thayil and Jon Spencer of The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. They also review recent concerts by George Clinton & Parliament-Funkadelic, Phil Manzanera, and Santana with The Doobie Brothers. Along the way, they discuss the parking headaches at Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre and the troubling trend of outdoor venues keeping shows going during dangerous weather. Later, Esmeralda Leon joins Nick to read listener emails and talk about the new Martin Short documentary. That conversation leads to a deep dive into some of Short's wildest work, including the cult favorite Clifford. They also chat about Top Gun, Family Guy, Bob's Burgers, and a handful of other topics that somehow all connect by the end. Trust us, it makes sense when you hear it. [Ep 464]
