An ominous black smoke is issuing from Drawing Board-kun on this episode of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake. Though King Ghidorah has been defeated, we're not done with evil dragons just yet. Last time on Dragon Ball GT, Goku and his friends, they had just finished gathering the Dragon Balls in order to undo the damage from Super 17's attack. Instead of Shenron, however, a sinister-looking, chain-smoking dragon emerged: a byproduct of the negative energy that had been building within the Dragon Balls since Goku's adventures first began. Black Smoke Shenron split himself into seven Shadow Dragons, each one embodying a different element and poised to destroy the world. Reassembling for another adventure, Goku, Trunks, Pan, and Giru first encountered Haze Shenron, the two-star dragon of pollution, terrorizing a small village. Though this Wario-esque dragon may not look like much, our heroes should know by now that appearances can be deceiving.

Die wilde Reise in einem verrückten Raumschiff geht weiter! Gerade noch Teller abgespült, jetzt schon auf Dune, dem Wüstenplaneten, gestrandet – wie kann man das noch toppen? Diese Frage haben sich André und Max auch gestellt, als sie die Episoden 15 und 16 von Dragon Ball GT besprochen haben. Nur so konnten sie herausfinden, wie wichtig Pan für Trunks ist, welche Seriennummer Goku hat und was sich die Autoren wohl dabei gedacht haben, als sie unbedingt noch eine Verräter-Storyline unterbringen mussten. Schnallt euch an, los geht's!
The wild swing between being someone who's in jail, cumming on letters that you're sending to your partner... and THEN actually winning a legal argument saying that it's fine to be cumming on letters and sending them to your partner is truly amazing.

Trunks is still back in the past as the gang wrestles with the idea of an evil Goku. And also Beerus brakes his nice table.
It's that time of year. We discuss Pirate Metal as well (this is a real music genre) and the really good, really great Dr. Oz interview Annie did a while back that is proving to be the tip of the spear now with fraud investigations.
In this episode, we explore something that seems to contradict much of what we've discussed in past episodes: Why do inherently social, deeply bonded elephants sometimes choose solitude, even when given the opportunity to build relationships at a sanctuary?How can an elephant who has never — or only briefly — experienced life within a true herd suddenly be expected to behave the way we think they should? How much do trauma, captivity, and personal choice shape social tolerance and connection?And does physical separation really mean these elephants are disconnected, or are they still bonded in ways we humans cannot fully see, sense, or understand?PS:

In this episode, we explore one of the most profound qualities we see and admire in elephants: their ability to grieve.Kat and Scott share stories from decades of working with captive elephants, revealing that grief is not just a moment, but a process. For some elephants in captivity, especially those encountering loss for the first time, this process may need to be learned or reawakened. Yet once it surfaces, it appears deeply instinctive and becomes part of who they are.We also examine the growing conversation around elephant emotional intelligence and the gap that still exists between what we are beginning to understand and how elephants are treated in many captive environments.While this is a more somber topic, it also offers something hopeful, a reminder that in witnessing elephants, we may find a way back to our own capacity for connection, compassion, and love.
On a new WSP, Trunks and Goten hitch a ride with Monaka to the planet Potafu, where a mysterious goo is about to make its move. Also, Brian Drummond is here!

In this episode of the Brief Talk Podcast, UNB Tim brings back the popular swim brief discussion with returning guests Sam from SB Swimwear and Matthew (Matt's Trunks). The trio dives into why swim briefs deserve a comeback, how attitudes toward them differ across cultures, and why more men should give them a try. From comfort and confidence to tan lines and travel packing strategies, the conversation explores what makes swim briefs such a unique part of men's swimwear culture and why they are slowly gaining popularity again in North America. ⸻ Guests Sam – SB Swimwear Founder of SB Swimwear and long-time swim brief wearer who shares insights from designing and selling swimwear to men around the world. Matthew – Matt's Trunks Underwear and swimwear enthusiast who documents brands and styles on his Instagram fashion page. ⸻ Episode Topics The Swim Brief Comeback The episode opens with Tim celebrating the return of the swim brief show and discussing the slow resurgence of swim briefs in the United States. While they were common decades ago, American men largely shifted to board shorts. Now, fashion trends and growing confidence are bringing them back into the spotlight. Sam explains that in many parts of the world swim briefs have always been normal, but in the U.S. they have sometimes been unfairly labeled as “taboo” or associated only with the LGBTQ community. The guests agree that visibility and confidence are key to changing perceptions. ⸻ Why Guys Should Try Swim Briefs The group shares the biggest reasons men should consider switching from board shorts to briefs: Comfort Swim briefs allow much greater freedom of movement in the water and on land. Quick drying Unlike board shorts, briefs dry quickly and don't hold water. Better mobility They don't balloon with water or restrict movement during swimming or exercise. Cleaner tan lines One of the biggest perks discussed is the crisp, defined tan line that swim briefs create compared to the uneven tan lines from shorts. ⸻ Swim Briefs and Confidence The discussion touches on the social side of wearing briefs. Many men hesitate to wear them because of family reactions or social pressure. The hosts encourage listeners to simply try them. The general consensus: Most people stop caring within minutes. Matt even shares a story about learning that his father used to wear Speedos years ago—something he never expected to hear. ⸻ Buying Your First Swim Brief The group offers tips for men trying swim briefs for the first time. Things to look for include: • A secure drawstring waistband • Front lining for comfort and coverage • Proper fit for your body shape • Trying them in person if possible They also explain that not all swim briefs are the same—cuts can vary from sporty to fashion-forward, with different side widths and pouch designs. ⸻ Favorite Swim Brief Brands Each guest shares some of their personal favorites. Sam • SB Swimwear (his own brand) • Arena swim briefs Matt • Sykus Wear • Weldon Athletic • Kovarex • Stolen Bones Tim • Bear Threads • Speedo • Various prints and bold color styles They also talk about the fun of collecting different styles and prints. ⸻ Travel and Swim Brief Packing The conversation turns to vacations and swimwear packing strategies. Tim admits he often packs dozens of pairs for trips so he has options throughout the day. Matt shares that he plans to bring plenty of briefs for an upcoming trip to Panama, emphasizing how different styles match different moods and activities. ⸻ Where to Wear Swim Briefs The hosts discuss favorite places to wear swim briefs, including: • Beaches • Resort pools • Lake cottages • Workouts and athletic events • Travel destinations like Miami and Southern California Sam even describes competing in an athletic event while wearing swim briefs without any issues, highlighting their mobility and durability. ⸻ Bonus Content After the main episode ends, the conversation continues with a Patreon-exclusive segment where the hosts play a “Would You Rather” game, moving from lighthearted questions to more spicy topics. Listeners can hear the extended conversation by joining the podcast's Patreon. ⸻ Where to Follow the Guests Sam (SB Swimwear) Instagram: @samuelbaiano Matthew Instagram: @mattstrunks ⸻ Support the Podcast Patreon https://patreon.com/unbblog Follow UNB Instagram / BlueSky / Twitter: @UNBblog Blog https://underwearnewsbriefs.com Subreddit https://reddit.com/r/unbstoreandblog ⸻ Closing Thoughts This episode celebrates the confidence, comfort, and fun of swim briefs while encouraging more men to give them a try. Whether for swimming, tanning, travel, or simply feeling good, the message is clear: Wear what makes you feel confident.

I'm officially back — and I couldn't think of a better way to return than sitting down with Colin K. Bass. In this episode, Colin and I talk about finally finishing the fan-favorite series Dragon Ball: Son of Trunks and what it feels like to close the book on such a massive passion project. We dig into his wild and unconventional writing process, how his creativity actually works, and what comes after the final draft. We also get into what's next for Colin, including his new project Resident Evil: Code Wesker, his growing work in voice acting, and the incredible story behind getting Jason Faunt to play Trunks in Son of Trunks. This is a conversation about endings, evolution, creative chaos, and leveling up — because sometimes the final form comes after the project is finished.

At the final day of the Crexendo UGM, Thomas McCarthy-Howe, Chief Technology Officer at VCONIC, spoke with Technology Reseller News Publisher Doug Green about how VCONIC is redefining communications data with the introduction of the vCon — a new IETF-standard file format that turns conversations into actionable, privacy-protected digital assets. “A vCon makes a conversation a first-class citizen,” McCarthy-Howe explained. “It contains everything that conversation means — who said it, who consented to it, and the context around it — so AI can learn from it responsibly.” Unlike traditional recordings, a vCon combines audio, video, participants, consent, and metadata into a single secure container. This enables service providers, enterprises, and MSPs to use conversations for analytics, automation, and AI training while staying compliant with data privacy laws like GDPR and U.S. consumer-protection standards. McCarthy-Howe emphasized that this new format also delivers a major business advantage: it transforms ordinary SIP trunks into “smart trunks.” Because each vCon is a unique, regulated record, it becomes a differentiating asset — one that's difficult for competitors to replicate or for customers to migrate away from. “Once a service provider starts hosting conversations as vCons, they own a unique and irreplaceable data relationship with their customers,” he noted. Adoption is growing quickly. At this year's event, McCarthy-Howe said roughly one-fifth of attendees were already familiar with vCons and eager to learn how to integrate them. Use cases span UCaaS, contact centers, healthcare, finance, and even industrial settings — anywhere valuable insights are locked inside spoken interactions. “We're helping the industry move from dumb pipes to smart trunks,” he said. “vCons let the good guys do the right thing — and prove it.” VCONIC's technology is already deployed in production environments, processing over 30 million calls per month and supporting hundreds of thousands of active conversations. The company is now scaling partnerships with service providers, helping them turn customer conversations into high-value, AI-ready data streams. To learn more about the vCon standard and how VCONIC is enabling compliant AI-driven communications, visit vconic.com.

Giru saves our heroes (thanks to an off-screen scheme with Trunks), but an even darker secret is slumbering within the lab. Baby, the ultimate machine mutant, awakens and escapes Planet M2. Back on Earth, the Z Fighter's peaceful lives are interrupted when an empowered Baby arrives on the scene. Baby failed to defeat Goku back in space, but he's confident that possessing the other Saiyans will give him the strength he needs to conquer the universe.

Anime Was (Not) A Mistake returns once more for some zany space adventures with Dragon Ball GT. After growing as friends Goku, Trunks, and Pan are seemingly betrayed by their robotic ally Giru. On a strange cybernetic planet our party is divided and set to be test subjects in both General Rildo and Doctor Myuu's sick, scientific studies. Pan must infiltrate this base of operations in order to save her crew and reclaim the Dragon Balls. However, with all of their combat on display for the transforming Sigma Force, how can mere mortals hope to fight against the progress of technology? Jonathan and Dan will have to recombine and transform in order to stand a chance in the wake of this raising power.

There are elephants around the world in need of sanctuary, but too few places exist to be able to care for even a fraction of the elephants.

Our pilot project is Elephant Sanctuary Brazil where Asian and African elephants relocated from across South America live their best lives.Website: https://globalelephants.org/Donate: Global Sanctuary for Elephants is a U.S. 501(c)3 non-profit.

Hey Smarties! We're on a break for the holidays and revisiting some of our top episodes from 2024. We can't do this show without you and we still need your support. If you can, donate today to keep independent journalism going strong into 2025 and beyond. Give now to support “Make Me Smart.” Thank you so much for your generosity, happy holidays and we'll see you in the new year. If you’ve been feeling hopeless about the news, the election, the economy, the climate crisis and everything else that’s going on, today’s episode is for you. Emily Amick, lawyer and co-author of “Democracy in Retrograde: How to Make Changes Big and Small in Our Country and in Our Lives,” argues we can all become better participants in our democracy. And we don’t need to have a gazillion dollars to do it. On the show today, Amick explains why we should treat civic engagement as self-care, how to find your civic personality and ways to cultivate a news diet that doesn’t put you in a doom loop. Plus, the moment she realized our democracy was headed in the wrong direction. Then, we’ll get into how voters in Utah fought to protect the power of citizen-led ballot initiatives and why shoppers hide purchases from their romantic partners. Plus, an anime cosplayer was wrong about what it would take to create her own costume. Here’s everything we talked about today: “Despite Recent Setbacks, There Is Still Hope For Democracy” from Forbes “In ‘Democracy in Retrograde,’ Emily Amick Talks About Political Engagement and Her Cancer Diagnosis” from Teen Vogue “What does Utah's redistricting ruling do to voters' ability to change laws?” from The Salt Lake Tribune “Utah Supreme Court: Lawmakers must heed voter-passed gerrymandering reforms “ from Axios Salt Lake City “Amazon’s Prime Day a ‘major’ cause of worker injuries, Senate probe finds” from CNBC “US Retail Sales Excluding Autos Rise by Most in Three Months” from Bloomberg “Gym Bags, Trunks, Back Doors: How Stealth Shoppers Hide Purchases” from The Wall Street Journal “Financial Infidelity Report 2023: Why People Hide Purchases From Partners” from Circuit “Inside a UPS warehouse that prioritizes super-fast shipping” from Marketplace How are you getting involved in civic life? What helps you fend off feelings of hopelessness? Let us know at makemesmart@marketplace.org or leave us a voicemail at 508-U-B-SMART.
