Film Threat meets Beer'd Al!Lauren and Russ are joined by Alan Ng, editor-in-chief of Film Threat, for a conversation about Weird Al's wonderfully weird movie career.We dig into UHF, the 1989 box office bomb that somehow survived one of the most brutal movie summers ever to become a beloved cult classic. Why didn't audiences get it the first time around? Has its rapid-fire, sketch-heavy humor actually gotten funnier with age?Then we jump ahead to Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, the completely trustworthy and historically accurate account of Al's life. We talk Daniel Radcliffe, music-biopic clichés, cameos, fake history, and why turning Al's life story into a parody of biopics may have been the most Weird Al approach possible.Two Weird Al movies. One actual film critic. And two podcast hosts who are perhaps just a little too invested in all of this.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/beer-d-al-podcast--5439475/support.

Send us Fan MailThe email sounded simple: “Why do you want to live off grid?” My answer isn't a manifesto and it isn't a sales pitch. It's a clear look at why I'm not retreating from the world, I'm choosing how I want to spend the years I've got left. I'm tired of the constant noise, the endless hot takes, and the way volume keeps replacing substance. Distance is the most effective volume knob I have, and the mountains don't demand a side, an opinion, or a performance.I break down why 50 to 100 acres isn't a “compound” to me, it's a buffer. It's sight lines, space, and the ability to decide when I interact and when I don't. I also explain why East Tennessee is high on my list for practical prepper reasons: a long growing season for a serious garden, enough elevation to dodge the worst heat, abundant water from rain, springs, and streams, and land that can still be affordable in the mountain counties. Then there's the money side of preparedness: Tennessee's no state income tax can keep more retirement income in your pocket, and that turns into the real necessities like firewood, seeds, property tax, and keeping a truck running.We also get into what the land can actually do: hardwoods for heat, room to hunt, space for a half-acre garden, and the option to build layered systems like solar plus micro hydro if the creek flow and drop are right. For communications and outages, I want tools that work when networks don't: Starlink and a proper ham radio base station with HF, VHF, and UHF. I'm honest about the tradeoffs too, giving up convenience and nearby help to gain self-reliance and quiet by choice.

Directed by Jay Levey, Yankovic's manager, who also co-wrote the screenplay with him, the film was originally released by Orion Pictures and became owned by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer after their takeover in 1997. Yankovic and Levey struggled to find a production company to finance the film, but eventually secured Orion's support after agreeing to a $5 million budget. Principal photography took place around Tulsa, Oklahoma. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Send us Fan MailIs Weird Al Yankovic a sublime genius or just a pushy dork? ''Join the conversation on facebook.com/groups/fabulousfilmandfriendsOn our 122nd episode of the Triple FFF, you magnificent maniacs and fiendish friends of folly, we're cranking up the crazy as we pay tribute to the madcap, manic, musical mayhem of one accordion-attacking, parody-packing, pop-culture-slapping sultan of silly: Weird Al Yankovic! We're diving headfirst into Weird Al's two triumphant tales of tuneful tumultuousness: 1989's UHF, directed by Jay Levey and starring Weird Al himself along with David Bowe, Michael Richards, Anthony Geary, Victoria Jackson, Fran Drescher, THE Billy Barty, and Kevin McCarthy!  Then 2022's Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, directed by Eric Appel and starring Daniel Radcliffe, Evan Rachel Wood, Rainn Wilson,  Julianne Nicholson, Toby Huss, Spencer Treat Clark, Arturo Castro, Jack Black, and a cavalcade of blink-and-you'll-miss-'em cameos! Returning to their command posts after an extended shore leave are my indispensable id and superego — little sis and Big League Slugger Roseanne Caputi and that master of vicious visual vocal vocabulary and virtuoso ventriloquism … Gordon Alex Robertson! Before we light the torches, grab the machetes, and go toolin' through the tombs of tomfoolery   the synopses: UHF tells the story of George Newman, a hapless dreamer who can't keep a job, until he inherits a rundown used cable TV station. When his wildly weird ideas for the local access channel start catching fire with the audience, rival station owner R.J. Fletcher will stop at nothing to shut them down and destroy George's dreams forever. Weird: The Al Yankovic Story is a musical biopic loosely  based on the life of song parodist Al Yankovic —chronicle of his rise, his fall, and his fantastically funny love affairs of a serious talent. So, you wonderful weirdos… are these two wildly wacky wonders actually works of warped genius?Find out! Watch the video podcast on Youtube:https://youtu.be/SO32NL9Wg9M

Anxiety doesn't always show up when something goes wrong. Sometimes it hits hardest when nothing's happening at all. Sitting in the bunk at Ravensworth (Hunter Valley) with the UHF crackling and a two-hour wait ahead of me, my brain starts running wild, replaying mistakes that haven't happened, imagining consequences, and convincing me they're inevitable.In this episode I talk about catastrophising—that classic anxiety trap where your mind treats imagined disasters as reality. I explain why logic and CBT can help me realise there's no evidence for what I'm fearing, but often don't switch off the physical anxiety. When the situation is a one out of ten but your anxiety is sitting at a nine, that mismatch can make an ordinary workday feel unbearable.I also share one coping strategy that genuinely helps me: borrowing confidence from people I admire. Whether it's listening to someone like Stone Cold Steve Austin or reminding myself how they'd approach the situation, it can be enough to interrupt the spiral and keep moving forward.If you're living with anxiety, depression, or both, I hope this episode reminds you that you're not alone. If it resonates, I'd really appreciate you subscribing, leaving a rating, and sharing it with someone who might need to hear it.--Follow The Dysregulated Podcast: Instagram – @elliot.t.waters Facebook – The Dysregulated Podcast YouTube – The Dysregulated Podcast (Official Channel)Created by Elliot Waters — Inspired by lived experience.

Foundations of Amateur Radio It's a curious thing, this hobby of ours, in that the more you want out of it, the more challenging it becomes. For example, you might start your journey with a VHF or UHF handheld radio, sometimes referred to as a Walkie-Talkie or a Handy, and you start listening to the local repeater, or you try to make contact with a friend. Then you discover that it doesn't always work, so you learn about interference, terrain and antenna gain. You start looking for higher elevation or a better antenna and you discover that now you hear more, but you still can't talk to your friends and before long you're building filters and testing other gear and the journey continues unabated. This same incremental experience happens across every aspect of the hobby and it happens to all of us, perhaps unwitting participants on this amateur radio journey. Sometimes this experience leads to becoming discombobulated, discontented, disinterested and ultimately leads to disengagement, which in my opinion, does not need to be the case. Throughout our community we often talk about failure, as-in, a failed contact, a failed activation, a failed antenna or failed design, and on and on it goes. It occurs to me that we're not the only people who have this experience. "But the student will find that experience is the best teacher. The reason why I get along with comparative ease now is because I know from experience the enormous number of things that won't work. For instance, I start on a new invention to-morrow. From the great number of experiments I have made, and the vast amount of information I have stored up, I am saved a great deal of time and trouble in not having to travel over barren ground." If that sounds somewhat familiar, and reminds you of a quote about light-bulbs and failure, you're in good company, since those words were written in 1882 by the very same inventor of the light-bulb, Thomas Edison. In other words, the process of doing something doesn't end in failure, it's an experience, a point of learning, or if you want to be scientific about it, it's another data point. Just because something didn't go as expected, doesn't mean that it failed, just that something unexpected happened. I'm talking about this because we live in an increasingly complex world where our chosen hobby is made up from the very foundation on which we understand everything around us, the electromagnetic spectrum and all that it implies. Our adventures, frustrating as we might find them, are built upon the shoulders of giants who became silent keys long before our parents walked this Earth. Your participation, little by little, increases our global knowledge, experience and understanding and when something unexpected happens, it's time to celebrate, rather than give up in disgust. I've only been playing with radios for a short time, especially when I compare it with my experience in other areas of technology, but I can say, that framing matters. "Failure" is, in my experience, regularly thought of in a negative light and all too often it leads people to stop playing, because who really derives joy from banging your head against a wall? So, next time, when you're about to use that dreaded F-word, consider what might happen if you thought of it as a piece of experience earned instead? I'm Onno VK6FLAB

In Part 4 of our Church Security Teams series, guests Adam McIntyre and Michael Bearden discuss one of the most overlooked, and most important, aspects of church security: radio communication. Many teams focus heavily on firearms, medical training, and response tactics, but communication is what connects every part of an incident. From detection and decision-making to reunification, effective communication can make the difference between order and chaos. Drawing on decades of military and security experience, Adam, Mike, Brink, and Tom share practical lessons on radios, communication plans, Security Operations Centers, equipment selection, radio placement, training drills, and common mistakes churches make. Whether your team is large or small, armed or unarmed, this episode provides actionable guidance to help your organization communicate more effectively during a crisis. 2:00 – Why communication is the most important element of a church security program 2:18 – Mike explains how serving as a communications specialist on a Green Beret team gave him years of experience operating and troubleshooting radio systems in complex environments. 4:40 – A rural school district exercise Defend Systems conducted where communication failed 6:00 – The three most important priorities for church security teams: people, response capability, and communication 7:15 – Building primary, contingency, and emergency communication plans 8:30 – Start simple: why every church should begin with reliable radios 8:58 – Why military units often view radios as being just as critical as weapons 10:20 – Security Operations Centers: who should staff them and why they should remain focused on coordination 14:50 – Don't just buy radios—train with them regularly 17:40 – Common communication failures churches experience 19:10 – Why Defend Systems prefers UHF radios for penetration and building coverage 24:55 – The reality of communication equipment: you often get what you pay for 26:00 – Budgeting for radios: fewer high-quality radios versus more lower-quality options 27:50 – Why used radios can be a smart option for churches with limited budgets 29:30 – Managing radio channels and keeping communication simple 32:15 – Training to ensure team members know which radio and channel to use under stress 32:50 – Parkland school shooting lessons learned: how using the wrong radio can have devastating consequences 35:00 – Why communication proficiency may be more important than marksmanship 40:00 – Building communication skills through scripting before adding movement 44:24 – "Confusion costs time, and time costs lives." 44:50 – Why plain language is more effective than complicated codes 

En el episodio 164 de CQ en Frecuencia viajamos hasta Pratas Island, una remota y codiciada entidad del programa DXCC, para conocer su ubicación, su historia radioeléctrica y las dificultades que presenta para los radioaficionados que intentan añadirla a su log.

GB2RS News Sunday the 14th of June 2026 The news headlines: IARU President announced as the keynote speaker for the RSGB 2026 Convention The RSGB has updated its Equality, Diversity and Inclusion policy Make use of the RSGB Full question bank Four years ago, IARU President Tim Ellam, VE6SH/G4HUA shared his thoughts on the changes and challenges to the amateur service and what the future held for amateur radio. On Saturday the 10th of October 2026, Tim will return to the RSGB Convention and in his presentation he will touch on whether the future turned out as expected! Tim is currently serving his fourth term as IARU President and the RSGB is delighted to welcome him back as the keynote speaker. Buy your ticket for the RSGB Convention by going to rsgb.org/convention  As well as the keynote, the Society has a speaker programme that will bring radio amateurs a wide-ranging selection of lectures. Whether you are keen to enhance your knowledge on propagation, FT8, or you want to learn more on VHF and above, there is something for everyone. You can keep up to date with the latest speakers by visiting the Convention speaker page. The RSGB Convention takes place between the 9th and 11th of October 2026 at Kents Hill Conference Centre in Milton Keynes. The RSGB is committed to fostering an inclusive, respectful and accessible amateur radio community in which all individuals can participate fully and safely. It aims not only to prevent discrimination, but to actively remove barriers to participation, promote equity, and create an environment where diversity is valued and inclusion is embedded in all that we do. The Society reviews all its policies regularly and this week it has published an updated Equality, Diversity and Inclusion policy. The policy has clearer language to explain the responsibilities of Directors, staff, volunteers, RSGB members and affiliated clubs, as well as participants in RSGB events, training, and programmes. The policy also applies to all RSGB platforms and environments. The Society encourages all members and affiliated clubs to read the policy. You can find it on the RSGB website at rsgb.org/policies  The RSGB will review this policy at least annually and monitor its implementation to ensure continuous improvement. In April, the RSGB Exams Team published the entire Full licence exam question bank on the RSGB website. This means that anyone studying for their Full licence has this valuable resource at their fingertips. The interface also allows users to generate their own mock examinations from the question bank. Feedback by radio amateurs has said how useful the resource is and that anyone studying for their exam should take a look. To get started go to rsgb.org/exam-questions  The RSGB Examinations Standards Committee has also prepared some FAQs to support the publication of the question bank. You can access these on the Exam FAQs web page. Have you seen the ‘About the RSGB' playlist on the Society's YouTube channel? There are nearly 50 videos to choose from including a number of recently released videos with RSGB representatives. You'll be able watch RSGB Propagation Studies Committee Chair Steve Nichols, G0KYA talk about a range of propagation topics including the best months for propagation and the possible effect of AI on propagation forecasts. If you'd like to learn more about the work of the RSGB EMC Committee, you can watch Committee Chair John Rogers, M0JAV discuss some of the upcoming projects it has planned. You can watch the full playlist by going to youtube.com/thersgb  The next Bath Based Distance Learning Full Licence course will run between August and December 2026. The course will include weekly tutorials and work packages via an online classroom as well as access to a remote tutor. Applicants must work through pre-course material and complete a quiz to be eligible for a place.

Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA and G4BAO on Thursday the 11th of June 2026 Last week we warned you about a potential geomagnetic disturbance caused by a triple coronal mass ejection, or CME, from the Sun. As it turned out, the Kp index rose to 6.33 and poor HF conditions ensued, just in time for RSGB National Field Day. Luckily, Sunday the 7th wasn't quite so bad, but it did show how a Kp index rise can damage HF propagation. A further CME warning has since been cancelled, but we are not out of the woods just yet. A long-duration mid-level C-Flare was observed in the northeast quadrant of the Sun, peaking at just after midnight on Thursday the 11th of June. A CME with a possible Earth-directed component is possible, which could lead to a Kp index rise. Meanwhile, the solar flux index declined to 124 on Thursday the 11th, as predicted, but that's still enough for some DX potential. Sporadic-E has been providing lots of entertainment, so make the most of it during June, which is one of the best months for Sporadic-E activity. Settled geomagnetic conditions, with a low Kp index, appear to provide the best time for Sporadic-E. DX to be worked this week includes 5Z4/MM0ZBH in Kenya which is active until the 15th of June. The station has been spotted on the 10m band using FT8 and on the 20m band using CW and SSB. PJ2/PH2M is active from Curacao until the 29th of June using mainly FT8 and some SSB. D4OL from Cape Verde is active on FT8 and FT4 until Friday the 22nd of June. Finally, look out for the FS/K9EL station from St Martin which is active until Wednesday the 24th of June. While we are in this period of Summer thunderstorms, a reminder that it may be a good idea to unplug the antennas from your HF radios when not in use. But make sure you do this before any storm approaches! Next week, NOAA predicts that the solar flux index will be in the 120 to 130 range. Quiet geomagnetic conditions are forecast all week, with a maximum Kp index of 3. But be aware of CMEs which are not easily predicted. Any solar flare and subsequent CME could upset the apple cart, so keep an eye on solarham.com for up-to-date news. And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO There have been some very good Sporadic-E conditions recently. This was particularly true at 50MHz with openings at lunchtime and into the evening towards the USA on Tuesday the 9th and Wednesday the 10th. There was also an opening into Japan during the morning of Thursday the 11th of June. 70MHz has seen openings, mainly to eastern Europe and Spain. Notably we haven't seen much in the way of 144MHz Sporadic-E yet, but QSOs have been made by a lucky few. All this Sporadic-E activity has probably been aided by the extra long-lived metallic ions from meteors of the daytime Arietids, an important shower in early June.  The other ingredient often associated with Sporadic-E is the presence of jet streams, which are very effective at generating turbulence that can propagate up to the E region and aid Sporadic-E formation. The coming week looks to be reasonably set up with jet stream activity. This is probably more relevant for the northern half of Europe so may favour Scandinavia and the Baltic, with the occasional opportunity farther south. As for meteor scatter, there is a gap in the calendar and it's probably a case of relying upon random activity which tends to peak around dawn. Rain scatter may fare better with a chance of showers, especially in northern parts of the country. The solar conditions have recently been at the low end of the scale, with a Kp index between 1 and 3 which is typical of high summer. This also reduces the chances of radio auroras. There will be a period of high pressure today, the 14th, before low pressure returns to northern Britain next week, although the south may stay close to higher pressure. This offers a chance of some tropo conditions. EME now, and Moon declination continues to increase to a maximum tomorrow, the 15th, with path losses falling towards minimum at perigee. 144MHz sky temperature is moderate, becoming high tomorrow, the 15th, with the Sun close to the Moon, before falling back to low again from Wednesday. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

What does it actually take to build a software-defined vehicle, one that gets smarter over time and may eventually drive itself? Rivian has a specific answer to that question, and Craig Cole and co-host Sam Abuelsamid put it to Vidya Rajagopalan, Senior VP of Electrical Hardware at Rivian, to find out what it actually looks like in practice. The conversation covers the company's zonal architecture strategy that stripped 44 pounds of copper from Rivian's vehicles, why the company is designing its own chips the way Apple does, and whether UHF, Rivian's hands-free driving feature, is a genuine step beyond geo-fenced systems like GM's Super Cruise or Ford's BlueCruise.

In this episode of The SSPI Podcast, part of the Space & Satellite Futures track, Tamara Bond-Williams welcomes XTAR back to the SSPI community in a conversation with Pat Rayermann, Chief Executive Officer of XTAR.    Pat shares how XTAR became a pioneer in commercial military X-band satellite communications, serving government and military customers in a segment where reliability, trust and mission assurance are essential. He explains why X-band continues to matter, how XTAR is adapting through next-generation satellites with X-band, military Ka-band and UHF payloads, and what it means to operate a focused SATCOM company in a rapidly changing market.    The conversation also explores space safety, orbital debris, satellite replacement, maneuverability, refueling, NATO and multinational SATCOM cooperation, and why resilience depends on a diverse mix of commercial and military capabilities. Pat also reflects on his long relationship with SSPI and why he brought XTAR back into the community as a returning corporate member.

Make a Logo on Fiverr At NAB 2026, the National Association of Broadcasters show floor in Las Vegas delivered a clear message: creators are no longer “small productions.” From AI-powered tools to full broadcast workflows, today's YouTuber is running a studio—and the gear on display proves it. This walkthrough highlights the most important innovations in video production, audio production, and AI Video Production, showcasing the new products shaping content creation right now. Sony Camera App & Wireless Control: Smarter Multi-Cam Production Sony's latest camera control app is all about wireless flexibility. Instead of physically adjusting each camera, creators can now tweak focus, color, and exposure remotely in real time. This is a game changer for multi-camera YouTube setups, especially when matching shots across different Sony bodies. Add in their 5G-enabled transmitter hardware, and you're looking at a future where remote production—from events to mobile shoots—becomes seamless and scalable. Epidemic Sound AI Tools: Smarter Audio for Video Creators Audio production is getting a major AI boost. Epidemic Sound introduced tools that analyze your footage and suggest music tracks automatically, placing them directly on a timeline. Even better, the “Adapt” feature lets you extend or reshape sections of music—perfect for pacing YouTube edits. Instead of replacing composers, AI here acts as a creative assistant, speeding up the workflow for creators who need fast turnaround. HP Z Series Workstations: Portable Power for Video Editing HP's ZBook lineup continues to dominate mobile editing. With high-end Intel and NVIDIA RTX configurations, these machines can handle multi-camera edits, color grading, and even light live streaming on-site. For bigger productions, their desktop workstations push into serious territory with massive RAM and storage options—ideal for creators dealing with 4K and beyond. Neewer Teleprompter X17 II: Professional Delivery Made Easy The Neewer X17 II teleprompter isn't just for reading scripts—it's a full communication tool. With app-based controls, adjustable displays, and flexible mounting, it lets creators maintain eye contact during interviews, Zoom calls, or scripted content. For YouTubers looking to tighten delivery and boost professionalism, this is a simple but powerful upgrade. OBSBOT Tiny 3: AI Tracking Gets Even Better OBSBOT's Tiny 3 builds on its AI tracking reputation with smoother motion and improved responsiveness. Whether you're pacing during a presentation or recording a dynamic tutorial, the camera follows you automatically. The added mounting flexibility and improved image performance make it one of the best webcam-style upgrades for solo creators. OBSBOT Talent II: All-in-One Streaming Studio (Coming Soon) The upcoming Talent II is shaping up to be a powerhouse. With multiple HDMI inputs, Wi-Fi 6, 5G support, and battery operation, it's designed for portable, multi-camera live streaming. Built-in failover connectivity means your stream stays live even if one network drops—huge for on-location YouTube productions. Elgato Stream Deck & Bitfocus Buttons: Total Production Control Elgato continues to dominate creator control systems. The evolution of Stream Deck into enterprise-grade setups—combined with Bitfocus Buttons—means you can automate nearly every part of your production. From triggering scenes to controlling lighting and overlays, this system transforms a desk into a command center for serious creators. Panasonic AW-UE150A PTZ Camera: Broadcast Control in a Compact Form Panasonic's PTZ camera lineup brings broadcast-level control to smaller studios. With joystick operation, programmable presets, and smooth zoom capabilities, it's ideal for live shows, podcasts, or hybrid events where multiple angles are needed without extra operators. PTZOptics Prototype Camera: Next-Gen Broadcast Flexibility PTZOptics teased a powerful prototype capable of 4K60 recording with extensive connectivity options including SDI, HDMI, and fiber. While details are still under wraps, this camera signals where broadcast and creator gear are merging—offering pro features at more accessible levels. PTZOptics PowerLink: Wireless Camera Connectivity Simplified PowerLink acts like a wireless bridge for cameras, enabling remote placement without running cables across a venue. It supports PoE and battery operation, making it ideal for sports, events, or roaming camera setups in large production environments. SanDisk USB-C Storage: Faster Mobile Workflows SanDisk continues to refine creator storage with USB-C and MagSafe-compatible drives. These solutions allow creators to offload footage directly from phones, preview content, and move files quickly into editing workflows—saving valuable time during production days. ATOMOS Ninja TX & TX Go: Monitoring Meets Flexibility ATOMOS introduced compact monitoring solutions with touchscreen controls, LUT support, and wireless capabilities. These devices function as both confidence monitors and color-checking tools, giving creators more control over their footage in real time. OSEE Omni 12 ISO Switcher: Affordable Multi-Cam Production The Omni 12 ISO brings high-end switching features—like multiple inputs, ISO recording, and multi-stream output—into a more accessible price range. It's a strong competitor for creators who want broadcast-style switching without breaking the bank. Proton Mini Cameras: Tiny Cameras, Big Shots Proton's miniature cameras are designed for tight spaces—think car interiors, rigs, or creative angles. While they lack automation features, their size opens up creative possibilities that standard cameras simply can't achieve. Domo RX/TX Wireless Systems: Ultra-Compact Broadcasting Domo's wireless transmitters are built for drones and mobile setups, offering HEVC transmission in extremely small packages. For creators experimenting with aerial or POV footage, this technology expands what's possible without bulky gear. YoloLiv Yolobox Extreme: All-in-One Streaming Solution The Yolobox Extreme combines switching, streaming, recording, and guest integration into one unit. With support for multiple inputs and platforms, it's ideal for creators running live shows, podcasts, or hybrid events without a full production team. Platypod Mounts: Flexible Camera Positioning Anywhere Platypod offers a modular alternative to traditional tripods. With adjustable mounts and compact designs, creators can place cameras in unconventional spots—perfect for creative angles or tight shooting environments. RodeLink II UHF Wireless Microphone: Reliable Audio Anywhere Rode's new UHF wireless system delivers stronger, more reliable connections than traditional 2.4GHz setups. With onboard recording, 32-bit float audio, and rugged construction, it's built for professional interviews and field recording—exactly what YouTubers need when audio can't fail. Build Your Production Desk with B&H: Creator Studio in a Box B&H showcased a complete creator desk setup, combining switchers, monitors, audio gear, and ergonomic furniture. It highlights how modern creators are building fully integrated studios—even in small spaces. ASUS ProArt Systems: AI-Ready Creative Workstations ASUS ProArt systems continue to push into AI-powered workflows. With RTX 5090 GPUs, high color-accuracy displays, and customizable controls, these machines are built for editing, rendering, and emerging AI-driven video production tools. Canon CJ20ex5b IASE S: Broadcast Optics for High-End Production Canon's professional lens system delivers 4K UHD performance with a wide focal range and precise control. While aimed at broadcast professionals, it shows the level of quality and flexibility creators can aspire to as their productions grow.

The road to WrestleMania 42 officially runs through Las Vegas, and the energy is hitting a fever pitch. In this episode of the 3-time award-winning Devon & The Duke, WWE Hall of Famer Devon Dudley prepares to head into the heart of the festivities. But before the lights go up in the desert, he and Duke sit down for a raw, hilarious, and wide-ranging conversation that proves why this show remains the standard for authentic wrestling media.From potential ring-side chaos to deep-dive nostalgia, here is what's on deck for Episode 66:The Oba Femi & Brock Lesnar Speculation: As the world prepares for the collision between Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar, Devon teases the possibility of showing up to ensure "The Beast" walks away with the win. Is Duke finally getting under Devon's skin enough to provoke a confrontation with "The Ruler," or is Devon just giving the rumor-mill something to chew on? Devon has a direct warning for the dirtsheets: quote him accurately and don't miss the humor.The Cody Rhodes & Pat McAfee Situation: Duke doubles down on his assessment of Cody Rhodes as a Ric Flair wannabe and an "egg sucking dog." While Pat McAfee took that exact sentiment to the global stage on SmackDown, Duke is keeping receipts. He appreciates the message being delivered to Cody's face, but he's calling out the lack of credit for the man who said it first.The Era of Wooden TV Boxes & UHF Dial-Turning: The duo takes a trip back to the 80s, reminiscing about the days when a family's "entertainment center" was a 200-pound wooden box. They discuss the vanished art of wrestling fandom: wrestling with antennae and UHF dials just to get a clear enough picture to see the stars of the day.Celebrating 10 Years of Duke Loves Rasslin: Devon offers a formal salute to Duke for a decade of excellence in media and his recent landmark interview with Goldberg.Goldberg: The Man Behind the Persona: Duke provides exclusive behind-the-scenes context on his decision to pivot away from standard wrestling talk with Bill Goldberg. By focusing on Goldberg's Jewish faith, culture, and family values, Duke captured a side of the icon rarely seen in the industry—an approach Devon notes is the cornerstone of why their partnership works so well.If you are in Las Vegas for WrestleMania 42, make sure you witness history. Devon, Spike, and Bubba Ray are reuniting at WrestleCon for a rare appearance together.Venue: Horseshoe Las Vegas (3645 Las Vegas Blvd S)Dates: Thursday, April 16 – Sunday, April 19, 2026Tickets & Info: Secure your admission and pro-photo ops at WrestleCon.com.Note: The Dudley Boyz are traditionally high-demand guests; booking your photo ops and autographs in advance via the official site is highly recommended.#DevonAndTheDuke #WrestleMania42 #ObaFemi #BrockLesnar #CodyRhodes #DudleyBoyz #WrestleCon #Goldberg #WrestlingPodcast #LasVegas #DukeLovesRasslin

A lot of people treat the Technician license like it's a learner's permit. It isn't. In this episode, I break down what a Technician class amateur radio license actually allows you to do — and why most operators never fully use what they already have. We're talking about: What VHF and UHF are truly capable of Why repeaters are valuable but not magic Why simplex matters more than most people think Why packet radio deserves serious attention And why most Technician licenses are underutilized, not underpowered You don't need an upgrade to begin building real capability. You need to understand what you already have access to. If you've passed the test and aren't sure what to do next, this episode is for you. Ready to Go Further? If this episode clarified things for you and you're ready to stop guessing, here are the two ways I help: 1. The 30/30 Ham Radio Challenge A simple, daily plan to earn your license and actually start using ham radio. No cramming. No drama. Just steady progress. https://www.familyconnectsystem.com/3030welcome 2. The 90-Minute Communications Planning Session If you want to talk through your situation—distance, family, expectations, and realistic options—this is where we do that. No gear sales. No theory. Just clarity. https://www.familyconnectsystem.com/first-five-minutes If neither of those are for you, that's fine too. This show exists to explain the landscape, not convince anyone to walk it.

Many of you have already cut the cord from your longtime cable television provider.  I wrote about my evaluation of doing this back in 2023. Giving up a security blanket called cable television has been hard to do.  In 2023, I successfully negotiated a cheaper overall rate by agreeing to a multi-year fixed price deal with our cable television and internet service provider. We could have opted to switch to an internet-based television provider at the time.  The price difference came out to less than $10/month to switch.  My wife and I agreed that the hassles probably weren’t worth $10 per month – yet. Three years later, it was time to go to bat with the same large cable television and internet service provider.  This time, the outcome would be different. We have enjoyed a three decade love/hate business relationship You may have seen a number of advertisements for our current cable/internet provider during the Winter Olympic games.  While watching the women’s US Olympic curling team lose the Bronze medal to the evil Canucks the other night, my wife and I saw the company’s promotional ad several times. It proudly proclaimed, “$50/month for 5 years of 1 GB internet service.  No price increases.  No contract required!” That’s funny.  The same company has been charging us $99 per month for the same level of service.  Why are they offering such a deep discount to newbies? Talk about bad timing.  The cable/internet company had just mailed the February bill to us late last week. It contained a big 20% surprise! The company raised our bill by $36.17 per month for our combined cable television/internet package (125 TV channels plus their “Superspeed” internet service). Our former bill was $182.33 per month. The new bill amounted to $218.50 per month.  There were no added services. Hey, that’s almost 20% more?  What is going on here?!!! Our cable television package has zero add-ons for premium movies or sports packages.  Just the 125+ channel tier has been fine for us. The menu of cable television services offered by this national provider has relatively few (five as of today) bundled packages at various price points. Their so-called basic package isn’t cheap and generally provides an assortment of local channels. No, thanks!  That’s why I bought my $29 Phillips plug-in antenna (for use as a back-up to watch local TV stations when needed). The next price level had been our current 125-channel line-up.  My wife was happy with her favorite channels like Food Network, HGTV, and a few movie options such as USA, Freeform, and AMC.  Her sports-nut husband generally watches ESPN, Golf Channel, and a few others from his 10′ x 10′ SwampSwami SportsCave in the back portion of the house. It’s OK to laugh and call me cheap.  I prefer being called “fiscally prudent” with respect to our monthly entertainment expenditures. We played this same game exactly three years ago We took a hard look at our options in 2023 after a similar price hike surprised us by the same folks. Here’s a link to that story. First, we decided to get rid of one of the two cable “boxes” and saved $14/month.  A $49 Roku stick on the TV back in my SportsCave allowed me to watch the same cable television offerings via our wireless internet. We had already purchased our own internet modem ($150) to jettison another of their monthly rental fees. It paid out in less than a year. When I was finally able to bargain to lock-in a multi-year pricing deal in 2023, the net price increase came to less than $10 month. We opted to stick around – and watch. Your cable company will pass along the higher prices of ESPN and others Some television pirates like ESPN have spent billions in the past decade bidding-up the cost of sports to maintain a dominant market position. They are quite aware that the vast majority of us sports-addicted viewers are likely to pay the higher tab. I get it.  You must also step back and evaluate your purchasing habits at times, too. Economics 201 would define this as the Elasticity of Demand.  At some price point, people will reject your product and walk away. Grocery and utility prices have gone up.  They are passing along the incremental costs of doing business.  Customers have to make some hard choices. Watching your wife shiver on the sofa during winter because her cheapskate husband wants to keep the thermostat at 68 degrees is not easy. Are those tears or icicles coming from her eyes? I no longer purchase as much of the now-$9/pound lean hamburger or my favorite hot chocolate mix anymore to save a few bucks. Tonight, it’s red beans and rice Monday at our house. Anyone from New Orleans knows that the dish is a local tradition borne out of economic necessity. We used to add smoked sausage to our Monday mixture years ago.  Alas, not anymore. Perhaps my waistline should send a thank-you note to our local grocer for pricing us out of few items which I loved to consume. Time for the latest big negotiation with the cable TV and internet provider! This weekend, I prepared myself for the upcoming discussion with a “Customer Retention” representative.  You have to be willing to walk away when arriving at this level.  That negotiating tactic had saved us hundreds of dollars in previous years. I updated my 2023 spreadsheet this weekend to affirm the TV channels we most heavily watch. Then, I looked-up the top internet-based television providers to see which one best satisfies our desires at a competitive price. By the way, here is my updated analysis of product offerings and prices for various providers as of February, 2026: My big telephone negotiation with our giant cable television/internet provider was not centered on the rising costs charged by ESPN, the local TV stations, and our overpriced regional sports channel. I wanted the company to defend its Winter Olympic offering a $50/month internet price to new customers while having the gall to charge us $99/month for the same speed and service level. Since the internet arrives at our house via their own lines installed years ago, that leaves only one party responsible for the $50 monthly internet price disparity. How did the call go? The cable television/internet provider’s customer service rep was quite skilled at defending his company’s $36+/month rate increase. I countered by asking how they can justify raising our home prices $36+/month while offering new customers a $50 lower internet monthly rate than this long-time customer is being charged. He said, “We’re probably losing money on that deal, sir.  To grow our customer base, we need to entice new customers to come onboard by offering something of value to them.” I responded, “So, you’re willing to raise the rates of a long-time customer like me who quietly pays his bill on time in order to lure others with a discount.  It seems like it should be the other way around.” He didn’t argue that point. Instead, he quickly deflected to asking about our cell phone provider!  The same cable/internet rep who raised the rates now wanted to discuss our cell phone business?  He was quite sure they could offer a lower price than Ma Bell was likely charging us. I told him that I was quite aware there were cheaper cell phone providers, but this call was about his company’s television and internet rates.  Please stay on topic. The representative mentioned their relatively new “Sports and News” TV package which is $15 per month less than our current service level.  Already aware of the option, I said the service tier also contained significantly fewer channels – including several of my wife’s favorite channels. The old axiom “Prior preparation prevents poor performance” is still valid. Ultimately, the cable TV/internet rep failed to offer a lower price for our current level of service.  He mentioned that we could save $10 month.  That was only if we would allow their company to directly bill us via credit card instead of having them prepare and mail a rather environmentally unfriendly monthly bill to us. I reminded him that their paper bill was how we noticed the significant rate increase like this one. We do utilize e-payments with business partners who do not unilaterally attempt to charge higher prices without a providing a higher level of service to go with it.  No, thanks. It was actually a rather civil conversation with an extremely knowledgeable representative who boldly held the company line. Here’s a good rule to remember about customer service interactions.  An unhappy customer will tell an average of 20-25 people about their bad experience with a company.  A happy customer will only mention their positive experience to, perhaps, four or five others on the average.  Bad news travels fast, too.   Ask Cracker Barrel. Their stock price dropped by 50% in a matter of weeks last year and still hasn’t recovered. And the winner is…??? We signed-up for and started using YouTube TV today.  It was very simple and took about ten minutes.   It comes with a five-day free trial.  Then the rate begins at a discounted $59.99/month level for two months.  The price will convert to the current standard $82.99/month after that. I will now receive the Big Ten Network, ACC Network, and CBS Sports Network in this package.  My wife (who felt uncomfortable about making this big change) seems pleased, too. We’ll both learn more about new internet-based TV product this week.  I will plan to return the cable TV box back to those other guys soon. For now, we are still utilizing the current provider’s internet service. Other fiber-optic providers have sent cards and letters for months wanting our business. That will be a much trickier business decision to make. I’ll be dialing for dollars to learn more soon. There is just one negative.  We will lose MeTV (one of our favorite channels) as part of this switch.  However, I just verified that we can receive MeTV via our local UHF channel in the SwampSwami Sports Cave utilizing my little ol’ $29 Phillips plug-in digital antenna. Our “exciting” Saturday nights watching classic TV favorites (Svengoolie, Batman, Star Trek, and Superman) has been rescued!   Victory is sweet!!!

This week we're joined by actor, drag queen, and Debbie Harry fanatic, Love Connie, for a look at David Cronenberg's sexy and sadistic meditation on horror, television, and society: Videodrome. The early 1980s saw a revolution in consumer video. Small UHF stations broadcast trashy movies at night to compete with the larger VHF networks. VCRs and cable introduced theatrical films to the home market uncut for broadcast. Canadian media theorist, Marshall McLuhan, had some real deep thoughts on what that would mean for our society and how it would change our consciousness. Cronenberg saw a movie in there and he cast James Woods and Debbie Harry as pawns in a game played by shadowy figures using television signals to physically transform the viewers. Max Renn is an executive for CIVIC-TV, a small UHF station in Toronto, a station that broadcast violent and pornographic content. He's on the lookout for the next sensation that'll broaden his audience and he stumbles on to what appears to be a snuff show called Videodrome. It's nothing but brutality, no plot, no characters, just violence. The deeper he looks into it, the worse his hallucinations become. What's real? What's fantasy? Does it even matter? What is Videodrome doing to him?

For Pete's Sake 11.22.25 - Three of the Most Important Stories of the Week

650. Nathalie Dessens is returning to her work on Gentilly and Creole New Orleans through the recent publication of Gentilly: A New Orleans Plantation in the French Atlantic World, 1818-1851 (a book she co-edited and translated with Virginia Meacham Gould. It features letters from the manager of the Gentilly plantation, providing insight into 19th-century plantation life and its connection to the city. Dessens is a historian who has previously written on the topic in her book Creole City: A Chronicle of Early American New Orleans. Nathalie Dessens is professor of history at the University of Toulouse.

"The Hunter and the Alligator." ALL the hunters in a village killed many deer one winter, except one man. This one saw many deer. Sometimes he drew his bow and shot at them; yet they escaped.    Now this hunter had been away from his village three days. He had seen many deer; not one had he killed. On the third day, when the sun was hot over his head, he saw an alligator. Alligator was in a dry, sandy spot. He had had no water for many days. He was dry and shriveled.    Alligator said to the hunter, “Where can water be found?” The hunter said, “In that forest, not far away, is cold water.”    “I cannot go there alone,” said Alligator. “Come nearer. Do not fear.” The hunter went nearer, but he was afraid.    “You are a hunter,” said Alligator, “but all the deer escape you. Carry me into the water, and I will make you a great hunter. You shall kill many deer.”     The hunter was still afraid. Then he said, “I will carry you, but first I must bind you so that you cannot scratch me; and your mouth, so that you cannot bite me.”    So Alligator rolled over on his back and let the hunter bind him. He fastened his legs and mouth firmly. Then he carried Alligator on his shoulders to the water in the forest. He unfastened the cords and threw him in.    Alligator came to the surface three times. He said, “Take your bow and arrow and go into the woods. You will find a small doe. Do not kill it. Then you will find a large doe. Do not kill it. You will meet a small buck. Do not kill that. Then you will meet a large, old buck. Kill that.”    The hunter took his bow and arrow. Everything happened just as Alligator had foretold. Then he killed the large, old buck. So he became a very great hunter. There was always venison in his wigwam. This week in Louisiana history. November 1, 1966. New Orleans Saints become 16th NFL football team.
