We return to Wizards of the Coast's Villainous Options, now revised after the first round was lovingly pushed down the stairs by public feedback. Some subclasses survived untouched. Some got a makeover. Some were taken behind the shed, especially the Primordial Patron, which had one great idea and the mechanical confidence of a wet napkin. Good news, though: the demon sorcerer finally feels demonic, the Titan Druid is now a proper kaiju tank, and the Hell Knight has upgraded from flaming disappointment to legally playable infernal gambling problem. Show Notes This episode revisits Wizards of the Coast's latest Unearthed Arcana update for Villainous Options, which means the crew returns to the scene of the crime to see what survived the feedback cycle, what got rewritten, and what was quietly removed from the suspect board. The earlier Villainous Options episodes gave us some strong concepts with mixed execution: villainous path feats like the Death Knight and Lich, subclasses like the Titan Druid and Hell Knight, and later options like the Path of Lament Barbarian, Pestilence Cleric, Venom Monk, and the now-defenestrated Primordial Patron Warlock. Some of those were apparently well-liked enough to move forward with little public revision. Others came back covered in red ink and shame. The episode opens by sorting out what is not in the new UA. Path of Lament, Pestilence Cleric, and Venom Monk appear to have landed well enough that they did not need another public pass, though the hosts still have a few lingering concerns about capstones, wording, and whether weaponized sadness is legally distinct from being a barbarian with theater kid energy. The Death Knight and Lich villain paths also seem likely to continue, though Ash remains skeptical that the Lich is as ready as WotC apparently thinks it is. The Primordial Patron, meanwhile, is gone for now, which hurts because the concept rules, but the subclass itself never really delivered on the fantasy of making a pact with an ancient elemental apocalypse. Then the real revisions begin with Circle of the Titan Druid, which gets a much-needed identity check. The old version wanted to be a giant monster but had all the durability of a parade float in a hailstorm. The new version leans harder into tanking: better AC, more temporary hit points, stronger damage scaling, a shorter but more practical Titan form duration, and a capstone swallow ability that finally feels like being eaten by a kaiju instead of being mildly inconvenienced by one. Behemoth and Insectoid both look more playable, with Insectoid getting a strong healing identity, while Leviathan still mostly answers the question, "What if your subclass feature was swimming?" Hell Knight also gets a major facelift, mostly by reducing its dependence on rolling exactly the right number before anything interesting happens. The infernal wounds now feel more like a real subclass engine, with rider effects that happen more consistently and Devil's Luck upgrades when the dice cooperate. It is much better than before, but the table still finds it a little too constrained by resources and a little too enamored with gambling mechanics. It is no longer borderline unplayable, which is progress, but it may still need another pass before it becomes the infernal fighter fantasy everyone clearly wants. The big winner is Demonic Sorcery. The previous version felt like a melee sorcerer with terrible life choices, a bad spell list, and an aura table that made everyone remember why random subclass tables are rarely fun. The revision gives it Abyssal Rupture, a movable sphere of demonic problems that pulls enemies around, creates battlefield control, scales into difficult terrain, and eventually supports summon fiend in a way that finally screams Abyss instead of discount Hexblade with a concussion. The spell list is also dramatically better, replacing nonsense like Hallow and overused Misty Step with options that fit the theme and support the playstyle. It still needs damage scaling on the rupture, but this is the rare UA glow-up where the hosts go from roasting the thing to wanting to play it. The episode also touches on the new feats and epic boons, which range from charming people by picking their pockets to setting better hunting traps to becoming weirdly hard to fool, possess, or kill with necrotic damage. The hosts speculate about what book this material is actually building toward, with possibilities ranging from a renamed Book of Vile Darkness to an evil campaign supplement, a fiendish planar guide, or something tied to the Abyss and Nine Hells. Whatever it becomes, the consensus is cautiously positive: WotC seems to be listening, the revisions are mostly moving in the right direction, and the demon sorcerer finally has enough flavor to stop apologizing for itself. Key Takeaways This UA is a feedback-driven revision of the previous Villainous Options material, not a totally new batch of evil toys. Path of Lament Barbarian, Pestilence Cleric, and Venom Monk appear to have been received well enough that they did not return for major public revision. The Death Knight and Lich villain paths seem likely to continue, though the hosts still think Lich needs more work and Death Knight may get broadened for more martial builds. The Primordial Patron Warlock is gone for now, which is sad because the idea is excellent, but the original execution did not feel like a pact with an elemental world-ending horror. Circle of the Titan Druid is much stronger now and has a clearer role as the tanky kaiju druid. Titan Druid's improved AC, temporary hit points, damage scaling, and better swallow feature make the subclass feel much closer to its fantasy. Behemoth looks solid, Insectoid now has a meaningful healer/tank angle, and Leviathan still feels like the one you pick because the campaign has too much water. Hell Knight is much better because infernal wounds now do interesting things more consistently instead of asking players to roll a six before the subclass becomes fun. Hell Knight still feels too resource-limited and may need another pass, especially if the goal is to make infernal wounds feel like the subclass's real engine. Demonic Sorcery is the standout winner of the revision. The new Abyssal Rupture gives Demonic Sorcery a strong identity built around battlefield control, forced movement, difficult terrain, and demon-flavored chaos. The Demonic Sorcery spell list is dramatically improved and now actually supports the theme instead of asking why a demon sorcerer has Hallow. The hosts like the revised Demonic Sorcery enough that it went from "why would I play this?" to "I would play this immediately." The new feats and epic boons are more mechanically interesting than expected, with a few strong options for social manipulation, traps, protection, and high-level anti-undead or anti-illusion play. The likely future product may be an evil campaign book, a spiritual successor to Book of Vile Darkness, or a broader fiendish/planar supplement. Overall verdict: WotC appears to be listening, the revisions are mostly better, and the villains are finally getting options that do more than look cool while failing their own saving throw.

Take Minesweeper. Add Sudoku logic. Put cats on it. Congratulations, you've just made $200,000 a day..We break down Meow Doku by Oakever, the cat-puzzle that came out of nowhere to shake up a category that hadn't changed in a decade. They walk the game (it's Minesweeper crossed with Sudoku — one cat per color, per row, per column, cats can't touch — simpler than Minesweeper and endlessly satisfying), the pure ad monetization (100% ads, no IAP, ~80%+ from interstitials, a clever cooldown timer that tightens the longer you play), and the numbers (~400K downloads/day, 2M+ DAU with huge US and Japan share, an estimated ~$200K/day and climbing). Then the portfolio: Oakever (real name Learnings / Beijing Lexing) is a fully bootstrapped, Singapore-based Chinese giant with a ~200-300 person R&D team, 70M MAU, a billion cumulative downloads, five straight years of 100%+ revenue growth, and a claim to being the #1 Chinese game company by ad revenue on Meta and Google. And the twist that makes the whole thing a masterclass: MeowDoku isn't original — it's a cats reskin of "Queens Master Sudoku," a game that sat dormant making almost nothing for a year and a half until Oakever found it, added cats, and out-executed everyone on UA. Plus, this game is a LINKEDIN GAME!!⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 The game we've wanted to cover for 3 years03:30 Minesweeper meets Sudoku — the core rules06:30 Why it's simpler than Minesweeper (and better)10:20 100% ads — the cooldown timer trick14:30 The numbers — 2M DAU, ~$200K/day22:50 Inside Oakever's monster portfolio27:30 The bootstrapped Chinese ad-revenue king36:40 The twist — it's a reskin of Queens Master SudokuThis episode is brought to you by Kinoa — the AI operating system for mobile game operations: flows, live segments, in-app messages, push notifications, and A/B testing in one place, run by the operators who own the numbers.

Pokémon Champions launched on mobile doing roughly $300-400K/day. Two days later it was collapsing. It's now around $80K/day and falling — a textbook shark fin from the biggest IP on the planet. We cover the wins on this podcast, but we also cover the failures, and this one is genuinely fascinating.We break down what went wrong with Pokémon Champions. The game is essentially Pokémon Stadium (the N64 classic) rebuilt for mobile — a pure battler with no exploration, no gyms, no story, no breeding, no catching Pokémon in the wild. The gacha is neutered into a "pick one of ten" system with no randomness at all. And the killer: Pokémon Home import lets players bring their existing collections straight in from Pokémon Go and other titles, so many players arrived on launch day with everything already unlocked — what Jakub calls "Web3 interoperability in play," and a total economy destroyer. Monetization is cosmetics, a battle pass, and ranch refresh tickets. That's it. The crew also contrasts it with the Pokémon apps that genuinely print money (TCG Pocket at ~$15M/month, Pokémon Sleep at ~$150K/day and ~$150M in three years, Pokémon Go spiking on the 30th anniversary), and picks apart the UA: ~300 creatives that are really about 7 concepts, almost all 15-21 seconds, cut from a year-old trailer.⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 Why we're covering a failure02:40 It's Pokémon Stadium, rebuilt for mobile07:05 The neutered gacha — pick one of ten11:26 The shallow monetization: cosmetics and a battle pass12:30 Pokémon Home import — the economy killer14:35 The numbers — shark fin, Japan-driven, 16% US17:06 The Pokémon apps that actually print money19:59 The creatives — 300 videos, 7 concepts, all too shortThis episode is brought to you by Kinoa — the AI operating system for mobile game operations: flows, live segments, in-app messages, push notifications, and A/B testing in one place, run by the operators who own the numbers.

OPEN HEAVENSMATALA LE LAGI MO LE ASO TOFI 16 IULAI 2026(tusia e Pastor EA Adeboye) Manatu Autu: Faasaolotoga mai avega o aitalafu (Deliverance from the burden of debts) Tauloto Tusi Paia: Luka 4:18 “Ua i o‘u luga le Agaga o le Ali‘i, auā ‘ua nā fa‘au‘u mai ‘iā te a‘u e folafola le tala lelei i ē matitiva. ‘Ua ‘auina mai a‘u e ia e fa‘amālōlō i ē loto momomo, e tala‘i le sa‘olotoga i le tāfeaga, ma ‘ia pupula mata o ē tauaso, e tu‘u sa‘oloto i ē ‘ua fa‘asauāina,”Faitauga - Tusi Paia: 2 Tupu 4:1-7O le asō, o le a ou talanoa atu i se tasi o avega, o le avega o le aitalafu. I ni tausaga talu ai, sa iai la matou teine faigaluega e usu a lana pese e faapea, ‘o le afi o loo mu ai le laau, ae lē mu le laau. E matautia lo tatou Atua,' i soo se taimi e fai atu e usu mai se pese i le taimi o faigalotu a le matou aiga. E iai se aso na ou fesili iai, i le laau e lē mu lea e fiafia e pese ai.

Ina ua maea ona totogi aitalafu, o le taimi na sosoo ai na fai atu e usu mai se pese i taimi o tatalo, ua pese mai i se pese fou. Ua pese mai faapea, ‘ua ia faia mo a'u.

Block Blast got pulled from Google Play, and everyone assumed it was catastrophic. It wasn't — DAU dipped from about 56M to 50M and stabilized. The real story is much more interesting: Block Blast has hit its scale ceiling on the core game, and their answer is to quietly turn the app into a games portal.Jakub Remiar flies solo for a single-game Review Radar update on Block Blast, six months on from the original deep-dive. He covers the takedown's actual impact (minimal, and DAU had already peaked in March), the massive UA downscale (from ~30,000 creatives and 1.5M downloads/day in December to ~5,000 creatives and ~600K/day now — a downscale, not a decline), the arrival of Block Blast's first real competitor (Color Block Combo Blast from Chinese studio Flyers Technology, growing fast but on tier-2/tier-3 traffic with almost no US DAU), and the pivot that matters most: "More Games" has moved from a hidden settings menu into a full main-menu button, now housing eight fully-fledged games (Fruit Merge, Mahjong, Sudoku, and more) — the same playbook as the no-wifi offline-games portals. Plus Sensor Tower's ad-revenue estimate (~$22M/month, ahead of Vita Mahjong) and the standing Jakub-vs-Felix bet on whether Block Blast ever passes Garena Free Fire.The read: don't sleep on this game. The core has peaked, but the winter blitz is probably coming — and the portal play is the real evolution.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 Revisiting Block Blast — six months on01:30 The takedown — how much damage did it actually do?03:00 The first real competitor arrives05:30 Why the competitor isn't a real threat (yet)07:00 The massive UA downscale — 30K creatives to 5K10:09 The pivot — "More Games" hits the main menu14:00 $22M/month in ads and the Garena Free Fire bet17:00 Has Block Blast peaked, or is the winter blitz coming?Potensus is a premium ad network built by people who've actually been on both sides of this industry - game publishers, agencies, and successful exits.

Xbox just got torched, and the math says new games can't win.Jen and Eric (two for TWIG this week) break down the biggest restructuring in Xbox history: 4,800 jobs cut, Asha Sharma unwinding Phil Spencer's entire studio buying spree, and King and Minecraft pulled in to report directly to her. Is this the setup for an Activision Blizzard 2.0 spin-out? Then they dig into fresh Newzoo data on why only 6% of the market is open to new IP, why forever games keep winning, and how growth has become an ARPU story instead of a new-player story.Topics Covered:• Microsoft cuts 4,800 jobs and 20% of Xbox's workforce• Sharma's memo and the "apex predator" restructuring playbook• King and Minecraft reporting straight to Sharma• Compulsion and Double Fine go independent with their IP• Helen Chang named Xbox's first COO, and what a single P&L signals• The spin-out theory and Activision Blizzard 2.0• Game Pass is stuck at 30 million and devaluing the $80 game• Why only 6% of the market is open to new IP• 60% of revenue coming from games five years or older• Growth as an ARPU story in the West and China• Last War, Whiteout Survival and Kingshot are proving the UA arbitrage gameCHAPTERS:00:00 - Werlcome & Agenda01:57 - World Cup Keeper Highlights03:35 - Kress's New Setup & Family Updates05:42 - NYT Games Shill07:30 - Xbox Rumors to Reality10:51 - Layoffs & Studio Shuffles13:26 - GamePass Stalls at 30 Mil14:45 - King, Mobile, and Minecraft Blindspots19:40 - Vanity Metrics Reality Check21:52 - COO PnL and Platform Model Critique24:22 - Booty Portfolio Shrinks & Next Steps25:46 - Gamepass Devalues Games27:01 - Publishers abandon Xbox28:25 - Spinout and Activision 2.030:04 - Microsoft & King Strategy32:29 - Embracer Parallel Lessons36:14 - Easy Cuts & Creative's Hard Work46:28 - Pipeline Worries for New Hits50:27 - ARPU & GTA Monetization53:11 - Mobile UA Arbitrage Reality54:58 - What Could Save the Industry

Voodoo's Path of Kings looks like Skyrim from the surface. It plays more like Tinder. And underneath the swipe mechanic is one of the more clever fusions of gameplay and monetization we've seen — where the gameplay itself is basically the offer pop-up.We break down Path of Kings, the Voodoo mid-core idle RPG they flagged on the Creative Trends episode. They walk it live — the swipe-to-choose mechanic (swipe right and you go straight into a purchase, swipe left and you skip), the Legend-of-Mushroom-style idle core streamlined for a Western fantasy audience, the ads-as-biggest-upgrade loop, the prestige treadmill that resets the map when content runs out, and a genuinely useful tangent on how to actually price a "remove the interstitials" offer (Felix does the ad-monetization math live). Then the numbers and the bigger picture: Path of Kings is doing ~$30K/day and sits right at the make-or-break threshold early Voodoo games have to clear, while Voodoo overall is doing ~$25M/month in IP revenue off Marble Sort and Castle Clashers/Busters — a real mid-core pivot that has everyone talking IPO. Plus the creatives: ~1,384 in 30 days, 100% AI, and gloriously broken (floating horses, dragons you don't sit on, four art styles per video).This episode is brought to you by Kinoa — the AI operating system for mobile game operations: flows, live segments, in-app messages, push notifications, and A/B testing in one place, run by the operators who own the numbers.

Offerwall eCPMs in the US can hit $800 to $2,000 for a single completed task — compared to $20-50 for a normal rewarded ad. But most publishers either add one too early, segment it wrong, or let it cannibalize their whales. This is the no-bullshit introduction to doing it right.Felix Braberg flies solo for a 15-minute offerwall masterclass, built from seven years of decks and hands-on experience across titles like the Ludia Trailer Park Boys games. He covers what an offerwall actually is (paying your time-rich, cash-poor users to complete tasks in exchange for in-game currency), the one rule that determines whether it'll work at all (you need at least 20% of revenue from non-ad sources — and "remove ads" as your top IAP disqualifies you), the metrics that define success (DoDAU, with ~10% as the benchmark), the segmentation and hand-holding that separates a sub-10% opt-in from a real revenue stream, how to think about exchange rates and avoid IAP cannibalization, why you start on API and graduate to SDK, and how sales and holiday boosts (yes, even Arbor Day) spike offerwall revenue. Done right, an offerwall can add 8-12% to total app revenue.The core lesson: offerwalls reward deep economies and clever segmentation — not a plug-and-play install.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 What an offerwall actually is and how it works02:15 Who should use one — the 20% non-ad revenue rule04:30 The players it monetizes: time-rich, cash-poor05:30 DoDAU and the ~10% benchmark07:00 Segmentation and hand-holding — the real unlock11:00 Exchange rates, cannibalization, and fraud13:00 API first, SDK later — the rollout strategy16:00 Sales and holiday boosts (even Arbor Day)Potensus is a premium ad network built by people who've actually been on both sides of this industry - game publishers, agencies, and successful exits.

Mobile has spent the last decade perfecting paid acquisition, and often, paid UA comprises 99% of a mobile game's marketing budget. PC and console gaming generate tens of billions of dollars in revenue, yet most studios have never tried performance marketing once. PC and console have always played in the field of brand, festivals, press, influencers, and content creators due to a variety of reasons that we unpack in this episode. Alexandra Takei, VP of Platform Revenue at Medal, sits down with Jules Baculard, founder and CEO of AdZap, to unpack why PC performance marketing has lagged behind mobile and what it would take to build a real acquisition stack for Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox. The conversation covers the structural challenges: thin desktop inventory, cross-device attribution, Steam's limited data visibility, long purchase windows, and the uncomfortable reality that many Steam purchases are never played. Jules explains how AdZap built their performance platform using mobile ad infrastructure, Steam's companion app, landing pages, signal engineering, and retargeting to drive qualified traffic and wishlist growth. The episode also digs into real case studies across indie and Ubisoft titles, incrementality testing, CPI benchmarks, and why wishlists still matter, even if they are an imperfect KPI.For any studio trying to make every marketing dollar work harder, this is a tactical look at PC performance's next frontierWe'd also like to thank Medal.tv for making this episode possible. If you're a PC gamer and want to clip your moments or a studio, publisher, or marketer looking to reach a high-quality gaming audience and get your game in front of the right players, check out all Medal has to offer at https://grow.medal.tv.If you like the episode, please help others find us by leaving a 5-star rating or review!

E ui o se fale e faia i le palapala ae teuteu i le simā, sa ou fiafia lava e talimalo ai i lo'u tamā faaleagaga. Ua oo i le po ua maea ma tatalo faatasi ona ou sauni lea ou te alu ou te moe. Ao ou savali i le potu ou te moe, ou te vaai atu o loo tootuli lava lou tamā ma tatalo. Ina ua ou ala i se taimi i le tulua o po ma ao ma ou toe ala i le 5.30 i le taeao, na ou ofo i lou vaai i le toeaina o loo tootuli lava ma tatalo. Ua ou popole ma ou fesili atu iai pe iai se faafitauli ua tupu, ae faapea mai ua lata ona ou malamalama lea. O loo ou mulimuli i ona tulaga vae e amata mai i lea aso, ma ou te malamalama moni, o tatou kerisano faatuatua, e tatau ona tatou tatalo e le aunoa (1 Tesalonia 5:17). Le au pele e, o loo valaau le Atua i lana fanau ia ola i se olaga tatalo. Peitai ane, o le toatele o kerisiano e lē iloa se mafuaaga e tatalo ai pe afai o loo sologa lelei mea mo i latou. E latou te manatu e leai se mafuaaga e tatalo ai fua aua e lē o ui ini luitau ma faigata. Peitai, afai o oe o se tasi o fanau moni a le Atua, e tatau ona e tatalo e lē aunoa. Tusa poo le a le faatele ona e tatalo, e mafai lava ona siitia pea i le nofoaga o tatalo. Aua nei avea lou olaga tatalo o loo iai nei, tusa poo le a le lelei o iai, e te manatu ai o le maualuga lena e gata ai. Finau pea ia siitia ina ia aua ai nei e malolo ma gata ai lou finafinau pea. Ina ua avea au ma taitai aoao o le Ekalesia RCCG, na ou alu ma ave au uo e toaono i se nofoaga i Matū totonu o Nigeria e tatalo ai mo le 36 itula e leai se malolo. Ina ua maea matou tatalo mo le36 itula, na faaalia mai e le Atua nisi o mea iai matou. Ua matou lagona le fiafia ma manatu ua matou faia ma ausia se galuega tele. Peitai i le vaiaso na sosoo ai, na ou faalogo i se tamaloa na tatalo mo le 30 aso e leai se malolo. I le faitauga mai le Tusi Paia o le asō, na tatou vaai ai ia Iakopo o loo tauivi seia ona maua le faamanuiaga mai le Atua, na suia ai lona olaga atoa. Le au pele e, e finagalo le Atua ia te oe e te tumau ia te ia i le tatalo e aunoa ma le faavaivai (Luka 18:1). Aua e te malolo pe talai ni tulaga tetele ua e ausia i le tatalo, ae e tatau ona e saili ia sili ma siitia pea. Tau ina ia faifaipea ona faamalosi atu le Alii ia te oe ao e faatalitali ia te ia, mo soo se fuata o lou olaga, i le suafa o Iesu. E finagalo le Atua ia e siitia pea i le nofoaga o tatalo, i le suafa o Iesu, Amene.
OPEN HEAVENSMATALA LE LAGI MO LE ASO LUA 7 IULAI 2026(tusia e Pastor EA Adeboye) Manatu Autu: O le ala e faaleleia ai (His refining process ) Tauloto Tusi Paia: Salamo 105:18-19 “Ua latou fa‘atigā i ona vae i le noanoaga; ‘ua o‘o lava o ia i le u‘amea; ‘ua o‘o i le tau na taunu‘u ai lana afioga. O le afioga a le ALI‘I na tofotofo ai ‘iā te ia.”Faitauga - Tusi Paia: Esoto 13:17-18 O le Atua i Lona poto, e na te ave lana fanau i le ala e savali ma ui ai, ia ausia tulaga tetele. E na te faaaogaina laasaga uma e faatonu lelei ai a latou amio ma vavaeeseina i latou mai soo se mea e taofia pe faaumatia ai i latou e aunoa ma le ausia o tulaga tetele. Mo se faataitaiga, ae lei ausia e Iosefa lona tulaga maualuga, na ave e le Atua o ia ma ui i le tulaga pito sili ona maualalo, i le fale o Potifara, o le falepuipui e saunia ai lana amio ia lelei ao sauniuni atu e avea ma alii sili i Aikupito. O le tauloto mai le Tusi Paia o le asō o loo fai mai, na oo o ia i uamea seia taunuu le Upu a le Atua. O le Upu a le Atua na tofotofo ia te ia seia faamaonia ua saunia lelei mo tulaga tetele. Na faapena foi Tavita, na ui foi i ala o le Atua e saunia ai i le avea ma tupu. O lona ala i le avea ma tupu na iloa ai le tele o luitau, e aofia ai le nofoesea i le vao. O le ala i tulaga tetele e masani ona tele ai luitau ma faigata. O le ala moni i tulaga tetele e lē faigofie, peitai e iai lona taui lelei. Na faamatala e le Aposetolo o Paulo lea ala o le ‘puapuaga mamasagia' i le 2 Korinito 4:17. Peitai tusa poo le a le faigata o le ala, e lē mafai ona faatusaina i le maualuga ma le matagofie o le mamalu ua maea saunia e le Atua mo i tatou. O tagata e fia ausia tulaga tetele e aunoa ma le ui i ala ua saunia e le Atua, e lē umi ona iai i ia tulaga tetele pe a oo iai. E pei o le tupu o Saulo, na i'u ina ia lē toe maua ia tulaga ona o amio ma vaivaiga sa tatau ona aotauina mai ai. O i latou e filifili e ui i ala o le Atua e i'u ane lava e tulai mai e famamaina e pei o le auro maoi. E avea ma alii ma tamaitai e faatuatuaina e le Atua ma le tele o punaoa ma le vaaia o tagata. E oo i lo tatou Alii o Iesu Keriso na ui i ala o le Atua , ma ina ua oo mai le taimi moni e faia ma faatinoina ai le galuega a le Atua, na papatisoina o ia ma ua afio mai le Agaga o le Atua ia te ia ( Mataio 3:16-17). E lei amata ona faia vavega ina ua uma ona fanau mai, aua e lē mafai ona faatuina mai e le Atua se tagata e aunoa ma lona tofotofo ma saunia o ia. E pei ona tatou iloa mai le faitauga mai le Tusi Paia o le asō, na taitai e le Atua le fanauga a Isaraelu i le ala ma ua malaga atu i le nuu na folafolaina i le ala umi. E lei finagalo o ia e toe foi i latou i Aikupito i le taimi muamua e fetaui ai ma se taua. Na finagalo e fesoasoani iai latou ina ia avea ma se nuu malosi ma mausalī. Le au pele e, o ave oe e le Atua i se ala e faaleleia atili ai lou tagata ae ua faigata ia te oe? Ou te faamalosi ia te oe ia e filigā ao e ui ai, aua o le vaega lea o fuafuaga a le Alii e saunia ai oe mo tulaga tetele e moni ma mausalī. Tatalo, Le Alii e, faamolemole fesoasoani mai ia te a'u ina ia ou ui i le ala e faaleleia atili ai lo'u tagata ma le manuia, i le suafa o Iesu, Amene.

Na ou nofo i Tulsa, ma i lea taulaga, e susulu a le lā e oo i le leva o le afiafi. O le mamā ia o le auala e mafai ona e nofo i autafa ma ai ai. O le faletaele o le faletalimalo na ou iai, e tolu paipa, o le paipa malulu, mafanafana ma le vevela. E le gata i lea, e ola a le eletise e lē pē ma ua matagofie mea uma. Ina ua maea vaiaso e lua, ua ou toe foi i Nigeria, ma ao agai atu le vaalelei e tu laueleele, na ou tilotilo atu i fafo o le faamalama ma iloa le eseesega tele o le nofoaga sa ou iai ma le nofoaga o le a ou toe foi atu iai, aua o ia aso, e lei atinae tele Nigeria e pei o nei aso. Le au pele e, o le mea na ou vaai iai i Tulsa i Amerika i tausaga e tele talu ai, e lē mafai ona faatusaina i le lagi. I le lagi, e leai se po, aua i le faitauga mai le Tusi Paia o le asō, o loo faamalamalama mai iai tatou e faapea: “E lē aogā fo‘i i le ‘a‘ai ‘ona pupula i ai o le lā, po o le masina; auā o le pupula o le Atua ‘ua fa‘amalamalamaina ai ia, o le Tama‘i Mamoe fo‘i o lona molī lea.” (Faaaliga 21:23). O le lagi o se nofoaga e lē tatau ona misia e se tagata, ma ou te tatalo ia aua lana nei e misia i le suafa o Iesu. O le lagi o le folafolaga a le Atua i tagata faatuatua uma. Na fetalai Iesu i le tauloto mai le Tusi Paia o le asō o le mea e iai o ia, e tatou te iai faatasi ma ia. Afai ua e tuuina atu lou ola ia Iesu ma o loo e mulimuli pea ia te ia, e te iu foi i le mea o loo iai o Ia, pe a maea lou taimi i le lalolagi nei. A ō tamaiti i le aoga, e latou te iloa a maea le aoga i le aso, e toe foi i le fale i o latou matua. E faapena foi la, afai o le Atua o lou Tamā moni, o loo mautinoa le folafolaga e te nofo tupu ma ia e faavavau i le maea ai o lou taimi i le lalolagi nei. Peiti, e nā o i latou ua lafoai o latou ola ia Iesu e mafai ona taua o fanau a le Atua, ma e nā o lana fanau foi e nonofo ma ia e faavavau i le lagi. Le au pele e, o e mautinoa le nofoaga e te nofo ai e faavavau? Afai e te fia faamautinoa lou nofo ai i le lagi, e lē tatau ona e agasala i le loto. E tatau ona e faamaoni ia Iesu Keriso ma faia lona finagalo i taimi uma. Ua fai la'u faaiuga e teena le agasala ma tumau faamaoni ia Iesu Keriso, ina ia ou nofo ma ia e faavavau i le lagi.

The roll-up model works beautifully on the way up and gets ugly in a hurry on the way down — and this week Stillfront showed exactly what the down looks like. That's one of four stories worth your attention this week.Felix Braberg flies solo for the Friday news segment. Stillfront CEO Alexis Bonte is stepping down after leading the company's strategic review and restructure — against a backdrop of declining downloads and revenue since the COVID peak, a share price well off its highs, and three board members replaced back in March. AdColony — the AppLovin of its 2014-2018 heyday — is getting a second life as Indian DSP company Aationa (AFL) buys the brand, SDK, and integrations from Digital Turbine for a reported sub-$5M, a smart backdoor into ~80,000 apps' worth of inventory. The World Cup is driving COVID-style download growth across mobile football (eFootball +60%, and the shock winner Soccer Superstar +62%). And Meow Doku, from the studio formerly known as Oakever, has gone from 15K to 1.7M DAU since mid-May by fusing cats, Sudoku, and brain-training into one low-CPI package — likely earning $70-120K/day on ads alone.Four stories, one theme: the models and the winners are shifting fast.---------------------------------------This is no BS gaming podcast 2.5 gamers session.

Peitai, ina ua ia tuuina lona ola ia Iesu, na ia tuuina uma mea na ia ausia i lalo o aao o Keriso ma faataga le Alii e faaaogaina mo le faalauteleina o lona malo. Na faamaualalo o ia ma gauai ia Anania, o le soo o Keriso i Tamaseko ma alu i ana misiona e talai le talalelei ma Panapa, o le sa Levī. E lei faatagaina e Paulo mea na ia ausia e taofia lona saili pea i le Alii ma lona loto atoa. O le mealilo o matatia na ausia e Paulo o lana savaliga ma le Atua e pei ona maua i le Filipi 3:13 “Le ‘au uso e, ‘ou te lē manatu ‘ua ‘ou maua, a o le mea e tasi ‘ou te faia, ‘ou te fa‘agalogalo i mea ‘ua tuana‘i, ‘ou te momo‘e punou a‘i fo‘i i mea o lumana‘i.”Sa filiga pea Paulo ia aoaoina pea. E na te lei faatagaina mea ua ia iloa e taofia lona iloa o mea o loo fia faaali atu e le Atua ia te ia. O le tulaga lea e tatau ona e iai pe afai e te fia savali vavalata ma le Atua, e ausia mea tetele mo lona malō. Fai mai le Auega 3:23, o lona alofa mutimutivale e fou i taeao uma. Afai e te uu mau pea i le alofa mutimutivale o ananafi, e faapefea ona e maua le vaega o le asō? E iai lava le faaopoopo i mea o loo e maua i le asō, ma e mafai e le Atua ona foai atu mea faaopoopo e sili atu i mea ua maea ona ia foai atu ia te oe. Peitai seiloga e te faamaualalo e maua mai le Alii ona e maua lea o le faaopoopo mai ia te ia. O se tasi o fili o le tuputupu pea o le mafaufau ua taunuu. O le taimi e manatu ai le tagata ua latou taunuu (ausia le faatumutumuga o lona olaga), ua latou taofia le tuputupu a'e. Le au pele e, ole atu i le Atua e fesoasoani ia te oe e tausia se loto e fiaai mo ia ma saili faifaipea e ausia mea tetele mo lona malo. E na te foai atu le faulai o lona alofa tunoa, ina ia e tumau pea ia te ia ma ona manuia. TataloTamā, faamolemole foai mai ia te a'u le fia ai e saili ai pea ia te oe, i le suafa o Iesu, Amene.

What happens when a monetization manager gets to build a game from scratch? You get Tetris Block Party - a hybrid that fuses block-puzzle gameplay, coin-looter meta, and match-3 boosters into a single LiveOps machine where two operators can run almost everything without a dev ticket.Matej Lančarič, Jakub Remiar, and Felix Braberg do a live review with two guests: Erez Yosef, who manages Tetris Block Party at Play Studios, and Elias Sandler, founder and CEO of Kinoa. They break down the genre hybrid (active block gameplay instead of passive slots/dice, with a persistent board, trashable pieces, and a match-3 layer that generates the boosters), the brutal design challenges of adapting a block core to a coin-looter meta (the multiplier problem alone took countless iterations), and the LiveOps philosophy of building one flexible template that can become almost any event. The standout story: a coupon-wheel feature built without ever developing real coupons — just tokens and images — that drove close to a 50% revenue lift in a single day. Plus why showing ads actually makes players convert better (not cannibalize), how everything is segmented by player behavior in seconds, and where Kinoa is taking real-time churn and purchase prediction next.The throughline: build the infrastructure once, flexibly, and let operators create endless content without waiting months for development.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 Epic Intro 04:00 The core - block puzzle meets coin looter06:30 Control vs randomness — the design balance09:30 The booster system and the match-3 third layer13:40 LiveOps architecture - the "Times Square" UI15:00 The multiplier problem and how they solved it20:30 The flexible-template philosophy and the coupon wheel36:00 Real-time segmentation and churn predictionThis episode is brought to you by Kinoa — the AI operating system for mobile game operations: flows, live segments, in-app messages, push notifications, and A/B testing in one place, run by the operators who own the numbers.

We were definitely UA last week, and we're sorry about that. This week, the guys are back—minus Damon—but joined by NCC Quintavious Nelson (aka Que Nels) to catch up on everything that's happened across the Navy over the past few weeks. Damo kicks things off with his latest gripe: having to shave every single day. The conversation quickly shifts into the time Que got the pod in trouble around Christmas, which naturally leads into a discussion about his relationship with social media and life as an influencer. The crew shares their Father's Day After-Action Reports before Damo asks what the big deal is about Love Island? That opens the door to a rabbit hole about the TV shows everyone's watching right now. Aaron talks about launching his "Standard Bearer" run challenge and reflects on attending his final Corpsman Ball. The release of the E-5 and E-6 advancement results sparks another conversation as Sailors wonder where the BBA results are. That leads Damo to share his thoughts on why some Sailors feel they aren't given enough time to truly learn so many new Navy policies—and what could be done to fix it. Since it's Men's Mental Health Month, the guys discuss whether it's actually being taken seriously. They also debate whether Barack Obama should have responded after an MMA fighter publicly insulted his wife. Que shares a personal sea story about an experience that completely changed his perspective on mental health. Damo reminds everyone that Permission to Speak Freely has always been a lifestyle podcast—not just a leadership show. Que then dives deeper into his journey as a social media influencer and what he's learned along the way. Other topics include: Why some of y'all were way too excited about those tropical uniforms? The tragic death of a 21-year-old woman who was thrown from a bungee jump attraction by staff, and whether it was truly an accident. Questions surrounding the recent shooting death aboard the USS John F. Kennedy. A Navy service member stationed in Virginia is being charged after a missing Louisiana teenager was found connected to him in Norfolk. General Daniel "Chappie" James Jr. in this week's Highlighting Our Heroes segment. NAVADMIN 140/26 and the Navy's updated guidance on religious accommodations for facial hair. The Navy's new selection board feedback process, beginning with the latest Chief Petty Officer board, and whether the feedback will actually satisfy those who receive it. Que is asking Aaron and Damo for their thoughts on Career Summary Letters. Aaron discusses stereotypes often assigned to leaders who aren't married. What's really going on with the growing popularity of run clubs? This week's Do Better segment covers: Stop underestimating senior leadership. Establish an ETP task force. Build morale within the Career Counselor community. To wrap things up, Que gives a firsthand review of Project Compass and leaves listeners with an important message about the power of connection. All this and much more on this week's episode of Permission to Speak Freely. Do you have “Do Better” that you want us to review on a future episode?

The whole market is chasing the same thing: one magic creative that lowers your CPI. But this month's creative trends show the real storyWe run through the month's creatives and surface the patterns: AppQuantum/Golden Goblins as the copy-machine the whole market imitates (now with a ~100-person creative team), the onboarding land grab where studios slap My Perfect Hotel, Last Asylum, and other hyper-casual hooks onto match and merge onboarding, the Game of Thrones IP game (Dragonfire) as a test of whether Western IP can punch back against the Chinese creative machine, Voodoo's standout new mid-core game Path of Kings (old-school pixel RPG nostalgia, 60K downloads/day since a May launch), AI creatives flooding every genre (and the hand-movement tell that still gives them away), and several games clearly in troubleThe throughline: copy and execute are two different things.

I le tauloto mai le Tusi Paia i le asō, o loo faamalosi mai Paulo ia tatou manatunatu ma taulai le vaai i mea e lē vaaia. Faataitaiga, afai o e ui i luitau ma faigata, aua le taulai le vaai i mea o vaaia, ae ole atu i le Atua e faaali atu ia te oe mea oi tua atu o luitau o loo feagai ma oe.

The World Cup is here, and three football games are quietly printing money — but in completely different ways. eFootball is doing $45M a month after nearly a decade of straight-line growth, and almost nobody in the industry is talking about it.Matej Lančarič, Jakub Remiar, and Felix Braberg break down the three realistic football giants — Dream League Soccer, Konami's eFootball, and EA Sports FC Mobile (the game formerly known as FIFA Mobile). They get into the wildly different country mixes (Dream League at 25% US revenue, eFootball at 43% from Japan, EA FC pulling 20% from China and 16% from Korea), the radically different ad strategies (eFootball at just 0.65% ad revenue, EA FC around 15-25%, Dream League a remarkable 68% ad-driven), the gacha and card-collection monetization, the FIFA licensing divorce that freed EA from a reported nine-figure annual fee, and the UA reality: all-real-gameplay creatives, great CPIs for the genre, and the curious fact that none of them are on AppLovin despite Dream League being a perfect blended-ROAS candidate.The throughline: same sport, same core gameplay, three completely different businesses underneath.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 The numbers — eFootball at $45M/month01:30 Three games, big structural nuances05:30 Ad revenue split — 0.65% vs 15% vs 68%06:50 The country mix that changes everything11:00 Inside the games — gameplay and gacha17:30 The FIFA license divorce and EA's escape26:30 The ad stacks and what they get wrong35:30 UA reality — real gameplay, cheap CPIs, no AppLovin--------------------------------------PVX Partners offers non-dilutive funding for game developers.Go to: https://pvxpartners.com/They can help you access the most effective form of growth capital once you have the metrics to back it.- Scale fast- Keep your shares- Drawdown only as needed- Have PvX take downside risk alongside you+ Work with a team entirely made up of ex-gaming operators and investors---------------------------------------For an ever-growing number of game developers, this means that now is the perfect time to invest in monetizing direct-to-consumer at scale.Our sponsor FastSpring:Has delivered D2C at scale for over 20 yearsThey power top mobile publishers around the worldLaunch a new webstore, replace an existing D2C vendor, or add a redundant D2C vendor at fastspring.gg.---------------------------------------This is no BS gaming podcast 2.5 gamers session.

OPEN HEAVENSMATALA LE LAGI MO LE ASO LULU 24 IUNI 2026(tusia e Pastor EA Adeboye) Manatu Autu: O totōina oe ma auauna? (Are you planted and serving?) Tauloto Tusi Paia: Salamo 92:13 “O ē ‘ua totōina i le fale o le ALI‘I, e tupu olaola i latou i lotoā o le tatou Atua.”Faitauga - Tusi Paia: Galuega 13:1-3I le Luka 12:7 na fetalai Iesu o ‘outou lauulu ‘ua faitaulia uma. Afai o loo auiliili ona silafia e le Atua le aofaiga o ou lauulu i lou ulu, o lau faaiuga i le nofoaga e te mafuta ai ma isi tagata faatuatua e matua taua ia te ia. O lona uiga, e taua ia te oe le saili i fofoga o le Atua mo le taitaiga i le filifilia o le lotu e te mafuta ai ma isi tagata faatuatua. Fai mai le Isaia 61:3 “E avatu le fiafia i ē fa‘anoanoa i Siona, E foa‘iina atu ‘iā i latou le matagofie e sui a‘i le lefulefu, O le u‘u o le ‘oli‘oli e sui a‘i le fa‘anoanoa, O le ‘ofu e fai a‘i vi‘iga e sui a‘i le loto fa‘avaivai; E igoa i latou, O la‘au o le amiotonu, O le fa‘ato‘aga a le ALI‘I, e fai mōna vi‘iga.”O oe na totoina e le Alii, e na te silafia lelei le nofoaga e tatau ona e totōina ai ina ia e tupu ma ola e tusa ma lona finagalo, e fai mona viiga.

Fanau a le Atua, e le gata e lelei le iloa o le lotu e te lotu ai, e taua foi lou mautu ma galue ai iina. E tutupu fatu o se laau pe a paū i le eleele.

O nisi kerisiano e suisui lava lotu e lolotu ai aua latou te lē faatauaina le totoina i se lotu i le mea o loo nofo ai, peitai, e faigata ai ona faamanuia iai le Atua.

OPEN HEAVENSMATALA LE LAGI MO LE ASO GAFUA 22 IUNI 2026(tusia e Pastor EA Adeboye) Manatu Autu: Alii o le taimi (Lord over time) Tauloto Tusi Paia: Ioane 11:25 “Ua fetalai atu Iesu ‘iā te ia, “O a‘u nei o le toetū ma le ola; o lē fa‘atuatua mai ‘iā te a‘u, e ui lava ‘ina oti, ‘ae ola lava ia.”Faitauga - Tusi Paia: Ioane 2:1-11O le Atua malosi ma matautia, e malosi moni. O ia o le Alii o mea uma, ma e malosi e mafai ona ia aumaia le lumanai i le taimi nei. I le faitauga mai le Tusi Paia o le asō, o Iesu, o lona tinā ma le au soo na o i se faaipoipoga. Ao faasolo le faaipoipoga, ua iloa e le tinā o Iesu, ua uma le uaina ma ua ia faailoa ia Iesu, ua ia tali mai, ‘e lei oo i lo'u taimi'. E ui i lea, na faatonu e Iesu auauna i le faaipoipoga e faatumu ni fagu vai i le vai, ona asu mai lea ma ave i le taitai o le tausamaaga. Ao latou faia, na liua i se vavega le vai i le uaina. Na aapa atu Iesu i le lumanai ma suia le taimi mai ‘e lei oo iai' i le ‘taimi nei'. Ou te tatalo, afai e iai se mea o loo e faatuatua ai i le Atua ua foliga mai ua faatuai ona taunuu, o le a amata ona tino mai i le taimi nei, i le suafa o Iesu. I le Ioane 11:1-17, na oti Lasalo ma tanumia mo le fa aso ae lei oo atu Iesu i lea nofoaga. I le tino, ua leai se faamoemoe aua o se tino oti mo aso e fa ua amata ona pala (tulou). Peitai ina ua taunuu atu Iesu i le fale o Lasalo, na ia fai atu ia Mareta, le tuafafine o Lasalo, e toetu mai Lasalo. Ana taunuu mai Iesu i le aso na maliu ai Lasalo, semanu e iai sina faamoemoe i le manatu o Mareta e mafai e Iesu ona toe faatuina Lasalo mai le oti, ma ua ia faapea mai, “Le Ali‘i e, ‘ua o‘o ‘ina manogi, auā o le fa lenei o po.” (Ioane 11:39). E ui e lei maliu Iesu ma toetu mai, na ia aapa atu i le lumanai ma avea ma le toetu ma le ola mo Lasalo (Ioane 11:25). Na ia faaaogaina lona tulaga na faasaoina seia maliu ma toetu mai, ma valaau ia Lasalo e sau i fafo mai le tuugamau. Le au pele e, e tatou te auauna i le Atua e lē taotaomia e le taimi. Na ia faia le taimi, ma o ia o le Alii o le taimi. O le mafuaaga lea e lē tatau ai ona e faavaivai pe afai e foliga mai ua leiloa nisi o avanoa taua poo e iai foi i se tulaga ua foliga ua lē mafai ona toe faaolaina. Afai o loo e feagai ma ia tulaga, e pau le mea o loo finagalo le Atua e te faia, o le faatuatua ia te ia, e pei ona fetalai Iesu i le Ioane 11:40, “Pe na ‘ou lē fai atu ‘ea ‘iā te oe, afai ‘e te talitonu, ‘ona e iloa lea o le mamalu o le Atua?” Ou te tatalo i le asō, afai o iai se tulaga i lou olaga ua faamasinoina, ua oti ma manogi, o le a toe faaolaina mai ma maua le ola, i le suafa o Iesu, Amene.
OPEN HEAVENSMATALA LE LAGI MO LE ASO TOONAI 20 IUNI 2026(tusia e Pastor EA Adeboye) Manatu Autu: Usitai ia te ia (Obey him) Tauloto Tusi Paia:1 Samuelu 15:22 “Ua fai atu Samuelu, “E tusa, ‘ea ‘ona fiafia o le ALI‘I i taulaga mū ma taulaga, i lona fiafia i le fa‘alogo i le si‘ufofoga o le ALI‘I? Fa‘auta o le fa‘alogo e sili lea i le taulaga ma le usiusita‘i e sili lea i le ga‘o o mamoe po‘a.”Faitauga - Tusi Paia: Kenese 22:1-3, Mataio 2:13-14E iai taimi e aumai ai faatonuga a le Atua e foliga mai e faigata ona usitai, ona o lea, o nisi kerisiano e faatuai ona usitai iai mo se taimi umi. E iai lava sina eseesega i le faatuai ona usitai ma le lē usitai moni. Ina ua faatonu e le Atua Aperaamo e ofo atu Isaako e osi ai le taulaga i le Kenese 22:1-3, ou te manatu e na te lei talanoa i lenei mataupu i lona toalua. E ono ia manatu o le talanoa ma Sara i le mataupu e ono faatuai ai ma ono lē mafai ai ona faataunuuina. E ui na faatonu e le Atua e faia se mea faigata, na ia usitai vave e aunoa ma le tau mafaufau iai. O le taui o lona usitai, na tauto le Atua ia te ia lava o le a ia faamanuia ia Aperamo ma ē tupuga mai ia te ia e faavavau (Eperu 6:13-14). I le tulaga lava e tasi, e lei faatali Iosefa ina ua faaali iai le agelu i se miti e sola ese mai Aikupito ma Iesu ma lona tinā ( Mataio 2:13). Ana ia faatali, semanu e oo ma maua atu e fitafita a Herota. O le vave na usitai e faasaoina ai ma maua ai faamanuiaga a le Atua. A avatu e le Atua se faatonuga, e finagalo e vave ona e usitai. Aua e te fesili iai, na o le usitai i le faatonuga. E lē gata e usitai vave, e finagalo le Atua e te usitai ia te ia ma le lotomalie. I le Isaia 1:19, na ia fetalai, “‘Āfai tou te gaua‘i ma ‘outou fa‘alogo, tou te ‘a‘ai ai mea lelei o le lau‘ele‘ele.”O le tulaga mulimuli, e finagalo le Atua e te usitai ma le atoatoa. O nisi kerisiano e manatu e usitai na o se vaega ae faatuatuanai isi vaega. Peitai, a oo loa ina mulimuli i le Atua, e leai se mea e ta'u o le usitai na o se vaega, a lē usitai ma le atoatoa, e lē o se usitai. Na fai e Saulo le mea sesē lenei ina ua faatonu e le Atua e faaumatia ma le atoatoa Amaleka (1 Samuelu 15:1-3). Na lē usitai ma le atoatoa i le faatonuga a le Atua e faaumatia tagata ma latou meatotino, ae na ia faasaoina le tupu, o mamoe pito sili ona lelei ma isi lafu manu. O le usitai a Saulo na o se vaega, na lē fiafia iai le Atua ma oo ina ia teena ai o ia (1 Samuelu 15:26). Aua foi o le usitai na o se vaega e tutusa lelei ma le lē usitai i le silafaga a le Atua. E lē fiafia le Atua i le usitai na o se vaega. O le usitai vave ma le atoatoa e sili atu lea i taulaga mū e ofoina atu ia te ia (1 Samuelu 15:22-23). Le au pele e, ua avatu ea e le Atua ni faatonuga maoti ia te oe e faatatau i se mataupu? Ole atu ia te ia mo le alofa tunoa e usitai vave iai, ma le atoatoa ma le loto malie. Ou te tatalo ia liua e le Alii soo se loto lē usitai ma le ma'a'a, i se loto usitai, i le suafa o Iesu. TataloTamā, faamolemole fesoasoani mai ia te a'u ia usitai i au faatonuga ma le loto malie, ia vave ma atoatoa i le suafa o Iesu, Amene.

Welcome to the Bob Elliott show where we will educate and have fun regarding various Tucson, Southern Arizona, State of Arizona, and national events. We will not be about politics or religion. We will emphasize leaders in our community and what they do, why they do it and how they do it. People Make the Job; the Job does not make the person. There are a lot of organizations in town, great organizations, that provide services for our community. Who are they? What do they do? Are they eligible to receive an Arizona state tax credit? That is who we are, and that is what we will do, on a weekly basis. Show Guest: Corey Williams, former UA basketball player, ESPN TV broadcaster, Crest insurance executive. Guest background: Please welcome to the show Corey Williams. Oral histories. It is an opportunity for people to give their story in their words without it being edited. I would like to start today with where you were born. Tell us about your upbringing. Any siblings? Your parents, etc.
2026-06-10 | UPDATES #211 | The question every serious Western analyst should now be asking is not whether the Kerch Bridge will eventually be brought down, but when. And the analytical answer to that question runs through five operational variables.Variable one: Western long-range strike enablers. The Hudson Institute analysis from October 2023 — Bryan Clark and Can Kasapoglu — laid out the case directly: Ukraine needs Storm Shadow and SCALP-EG cruise missiles fired from F-16 fighters with German Taurus KEPD-350 missiles as an alternative payload. The F-16s have been operationally deployed by Ukraine since mid-2024. The Taurus transfer has remained politically blocked by successive German governments. But the matrix of available capabilities has not gone backwards. Ukraine has the F-16s, has access to Storm Shadow and SCALP-EG, has the targeting expertise, and has been progressively improving its ability to deploy these weapons against Russian air-defence umbrellas. The political constraint — Western governments insisting that long-range Western missiles not be used against the Kerch Bridge or other targets inside Crimea proper — has been one of the most damaging restrictions of the war. Lifting that constraint is the single fastest path to the bridge dropping.----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------ACTIVE CAMPAIGN:We are raising funds for 5 of 15 Vampire DronesSilicon Curtain for Kupiansk Vampires.
