This week on Mac Geek Gab, you’re stacking up power moves from the jump. You’ll learn how to clean up messy lists in your favorite text editor, discover that any USB-C port on your MacBook can charge it, and find out why you should be charging your power bank from random ports instead of your iPhone or Mac. iPhones can now serve as Tailscale exit nodes — and that leads down a tangent where the guys dig deep into subnet routing so you understand exactly what that unlocks. You’ll also pick up how to save PDFs on iPhone when all you see is a print icon, how to use Apple Intelligence in Pages to reformat text as recipes, and how to clean up MacWhisper transcripts before anyone sees the raw chaos. Don’t Get Caught running Plex in Low Power Mode, either — there’s a fix for that. Dave also stumbled into a wild Fable moment when the AI found onto an unpublished API and decided to throttle itself back to Opus. Then the crew pivots to WWDC 2026 reactions, and there’s a lot to unpack. One big theme is refinement and stability: the new Liquid Glass slider is a visual treat, and Dave’s already running the beta without disaster. Apple Intelligence is getting a serious upgrade, with Siri becoming more contextually aware of what’s on your device, though the guys push back on where it still falls short compared to tools like Claude Cowork. Parental controls got a surprisingly large share of the spotlight for a developer conference, signaling Apple wants to own the conversation around kids and screen time — this leads to the interesting question of whether spouses can choose to hold each other accountable. Apple Vision Pro gets a Siri Orb and custom panoramas, and iOS 27 dev beta now includes a Recovery mode.

"Sometimes the simplest pictures are the hardest to get." – Neil Leifer “I never have taken a picture I've intended. They're always better or worse.” – Diane Arbus In this episode, Antonio talks about getting ready for his upcoming six-week class, The Narrative Lens, at Southeast Community College. That leads to a discussion about teaching photography, helping new photographers build confidence, and why so many photographers feel pressure to chase “hero photographs” instead of paying attention to the ordinary subjects that are already around them. Antonio and Ward also discuss the value of constraints, personal projects, and finding meaningful photographs close to home. The conversation moves to gear, including some new USB-C rechargeable batteries Antonio has been using with his Fujifilm cameras. They also talk about collecting photographic prints after Antonio finally opens a signed Gregory Crewdson print that had been sitting unopened in its box for far too long. That leads to a discussion about living with photographs, hanging prints on the wall, and the different ways photographers connect with the work of artists they admire. The second half of the show focuses on Ward's recent trip to the Hand Hills Lake Stampede rodeo. Returning to an event he photographed ten years ago, Ward set out to make something different from the traditional rodeo photographs he had made in the past. Instead of concentrating on the obvious action, he focused on color, movement, gesture, and smaller details within the scene. The result was a series of photographs that received a strong reaction from other photographers and online audiences. Antonio and Ward spend some time discussing one particular image and why it works. The conversation looks at shape, color, rhythm, timing, and composition, along with some of the practical challenges of photographing fast-moving events. Ward shares his approach to photographing the rodeo, while Antonio breaks down some of the visual elements that make the photograph successful.

We break down the online speculation, Sean Ross Sapp addressing the "reckless speculation," Fightful Select pushing back on claims that Punk wanted out or was asked to take a pay cut, and PWInsider reporting that Punk is expected back on WWE television in the coming months with new merchandise being prepared. We also discuss Ariel Helwani's blunt criticism of WWE under TKO, including his comments calling the current product "soulless," his issues with WrestleMania, his disappointment in the John Cena retirement tour, and his belief that WWE may have creatively peaked with Cody Rhodes defeating Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40. From there, we get into the latest legal and business stories surrounding WWE. A settlement agreement in principle has been reached in the WWE shareholder lawsuit, cancelling the Delaware Chancery Court trial that was expected to feature testimony from Vince McMahon, Nick Khan, Paul Levesque, Mark Shapiro, Ari Emanuel, and others. We also cover WWE moving Money in the Bank again, with the show now set for October 10 in New Orleans, while September 6 will instead feature a special Sunday edition of Saturday Night's Main Event in Atlanta. The road to Night of Champions is also heating up as the King and Queen of the Ring tournaments continue. Je'Von Evans, Dominik Mysterio, and Oba Femi have advanced on the men's side, while Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, and IYO SKY are moving forward in the women's bracket. We also discuss Cody Rhodes and Gunther running it back for the Undisputed WWE Championship on the June 19 episode of SmackDown, with Gunther set to choose the stipulation. On the AEW side, we look at All In 2026 ticket sales lagging behind previous Wembley Stadium events, MJF's hyperextended knee injury and why AEW still expects to use him, and the growing movement around the vacant TBS Championship with Hikaru Shida, Kris Statlander, Mina Shirakawa, Harley Cameron, Zayda Steel, and Queen Aminata all declaring for Survival of the Fittest qualifiers. We also dive into Stardom's major presence in North America. Syuri, Hazuki, Ranna Yagami, and Fuwa-chan will miss the 2026 5 Star Grand Prix due to excursions, while Syuri challenges Athena for the ROH Women's World Championship at Global Wars Cincinnati and Hazuki prepares to face Mercedes Moné in the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament semifinals. Plus, AAA officially announces Verano de Escándalo for July 25 in Aguascalientes, NJPW finalizes a loaded Dominion card headlined by Callum Newman vs. Yota Tsuji, YOH challenging DOUKI, and Konosuke Takeshita defending against SANADA, TNA confirms Nic Nemeth will call his shot at Slammiversary as Steve Maclin and Myla Grace exit the company, Fetty Wap gets involved in light tube chaos at GCW Tournament of Survival, HOOK prepares for his GCW debut and World title shot, and NXT sets multiple title matches for Great American Bash.

Make a Logo on Fiverr Cloner Alliance Steps Up the UHD Pro 4K The Cloner Alliance UHD Pro 4K is a standalone video capture and recording box built for creators, gamers, and anyone who needs a simple way to record HDMI video without turning the setup into a complicated production rig. After looking at the previous Cloner Alliance Pro 4K model, this newer UHD Pro 4K brings some useful upgrades, including USB-C, microSD support, USB 3.0, and more flexible recording options. This is designed for pro video workflows, game capture, screenshots, camera recording, and even scheduled recording. It can capture in 4K, supports HDMI pass-through, and records to external storage including flash drives, microSD cards, and larger hard drives. What's in the Box? Inside the box, Cloner Alliance keeps things straightforward. You get the UHD Pro 4K unit, instruction materials, a remote control, HDMI cable, power adapter, and a USB-C to USB-A cable. A Welcome USB-C Upgrade One of the first noticeable changes is the move from micro USB to USB-C. That makes the UHD Pro 4K feel more modern and more useful in current creator setups. The device also includes USB 3.0 support, which matters when you are recording larger video files at higher bitrates. Ports and Controls On the top of the unit, you get physical controls for pause, snapshot, record, and stop. There are also audio inputs, including mic, aux, and line-in options. On the side, the unit includes microSD/TF card support, USB-C, and USB-A connectivity. On the back, you get the power button, 12V power input, HDMI input, and HDMI output for pass-through monitoring. Recording Options for Video Capture The Cloner Alliance UHD Pro 4K can record in MP4 or TS file formats. Resolution options include 4K, 1080p, or auto mode. For many users, auto mode will probably be the easiest choice, but having manual resolution control is useful when you need to lock the output to a specific format. H.264 and H.265 Recording The UHD Pro 4K supports both H.264 AVC and H.265 HEVC recording. That gives users some flexibility depending on whether they want broader compatibility or more efficient compression. The video bitrate can go up to 50 Mbps, which is a nice option for higher-quality captures. Just remember that a higher bitrate also means larger files, and your storage device needs to be fast enough to keep up. Audio Settings Audio options include HDMI audio, mic input, and aux input. You can adjust mic volume, aux volume, and HDMI output volume. The audio bitrate can be set up to 320 Kbps for better sound quality. That said, this is not a multitrack audio recorder. If you combine audio sources into the unit, they are recorded together. For serious productions, it is still better to manage audio separately when possible. Storage: Flash Drive, microSD, or Hard Drive The UHD Pro 4K supports recording to multiple storage types. You can use microSD/TF cards, USB flash drives, and larger external hard drives. The device can also test writing speed, which is useful before recording at higher bitrates. File Size and Loop Recording Recording file size options include unlimited, 4GB, 16GB, or two-hour segments. This lets you decide how the device breaks up long recordings. There is also loop recording, which makes the UHD Pro 4K useful beyond gaming and creator content. You could use it with a camera for basic security-style recording, where older files are overwritten once storage fills up. HDMI Pass-Through and Latency One of the biggest questions with any video capture device is latency. The UHD Pro 4K includes HDMI pass-through so you can send video to a monitor while recording. Better Than the Previous Model Compared with the earlier Cloner Alliance Pro 4K, the latency on the UHD Pro 4K appears improved. The older model had more noticeable delay, while this new version feels closer to the 50 to 100 millisecond range during pass-through testing. That is still not zero latency. For casual gameplay, recording, screenshots, or camera capture, it may be fine. For competitive gaming, you may still want to put a splitter before the Cloner Alliance box and monitor directly from the source. On-Screen Menus and Remote Control The UHD Pro 4K includes a remote for navigating system settings, recording settings, audio settings, scheduling, playback, and storage options. Settings You Can Adjust The system menu includes time settings, time zone, HDMI output resolution, HDMI output scale, screensaver, language, factory reset, and firmware information. The recording menu lets you choose format, resolution, file size, codec, bitrate, audio bitrate, loop recording, and watermark options. Remote Control Experience The remote works without needing to be aimed perfectly at the unit, which is a plus. However, it can be a little touch-and-go at times, occasionally needing more than one button press. Scheduling and Standalone Recording A big advantage of the Cloner Alliance UHD Pro 4K is that it does not always need a computer to record. You can connect your source, attach storage, and record directly from the unit. Scheduled Recording The device also includes scheduled recording options. That could be useful for capturing a camera feed, recording a recurring video source, or setting up a simple unattended recording station. Using the UHD Pro 4K With a Computer The UHD Pro 4K can also connect to a PC using the Cloner Alliance helper software. Once connected, you can preview the video feed, record to the computer, schedule recordings, choose capture devices, and configure folders for video and photo storage. Live Video and Virtual Camera Use The software also includes options for live broadcasting and virtual camera use. That means you can bring the Cloner Alliance feed into apps such as OBS, vMix, or other streaming software. The computer preview does introduce more latency than the HDMI pass-through monitor, so it is best used for setup, checking framing, or recording control — not as your main real-time display. Video Screenshots and Pro Video Uses The UHD Pro 4K is not just for recording full videos. The snapshot button makes it useful for grabbing video screenshots, especially from gameplay, cameras, or HDMI-based devices. Good for Creators and Reviewers For content creators, this can be a useful box to keep nearby. It can capture from a camera, record a gameplay feed, document a device's HDMI output, or act as a simple single-source recorder when you need something fast. Pros and Cons Pros The Cloner Alliance UHD Pro 4K is easy to set up, works as a standalone recorder, supports 4K capture, includes HDMI pass-through, offers USB-C and USB 3.0, supports higher bitrate recording, and works with the same Cloner Alliance software ecosystem. Cons There is still some latency, especially when using the computer preview. The remote can occasionally require extra button presses. Also, while the audio input options are useful, this is not a replacement for a dedicated multitrack audio workflow. Final Thoughts on the Cloner Alliance UHD Pro 4K The Cloner Alliance UHD Pro 4K is a solid upgrade over the previous model. The move to USB-C, the addition of microSD support, better storage flexibility, and improved latency make it a more capable video capture device for creators, gamers, and anyone working with HDMI video. It is easy to set up, flexible enough for standalone recording or computer-based capture, and useful for everything from pro video workflows to video screenshots. If you need a simple HDMI video capture and recording box that can work without a full computer setup, the UHD Pro 4K is worth a look.

This week on Grumpy Old Geeks, Brian and Jason once again survey the smoldering wreckage of the tech industry and discover that the people building the future are increasingly being sued by governments, publishers, customers, employees, and occasionally reality itself. California is coming after 23andMe over its catastrophic data breach, Florida is taking a swing at OpenAI, CNN has joined the ever-growing conga line of companies suing Perplexity, and Meta somehow decided the solution to improving AI is recording employees' every mouse click while generously allowing them a whole 30-minute privacy break. Meanwhile, Google's own engineers are sharing memes about how much Google's AI tools suck, Microsoft apparently wants users addicted to its new AI assistant - first taste's free! - and Anthropic is preparing to go public with a valuation that makes even the most irrational dot-com era investor look financially responsible.The AI arms race continues producing exactly the kinds of outcomes you'd expect when venture capitalists start huffing their own press releases. Instagram's AI support bot reportedly helped hackers steal accounts because apparently "Are you sure you're the owner?" was considered an optional step. Suno raised another $400 million while fighting copyright lawsuits, Paramount+ seems to have let AI create the ugliest Star Trek thumbnail in Federation history, and Stan Lee has now been digitally resurrected because modern capitalism looked at death and said, "Nice try." Over in transportation, BYD is so confident in its self-driving technology that it's willing to pay for your accidents, while Tesla owners are discovering their old Full Self-Driving contracts may have quietly received software updates of the legal variety. Somewhere in a conference room, a lawyer just whispered, "Let's not put that in writing," ten years too late.Elsewhere, governments worldwide continue their ongoing experiment of raising children by confiscating smartphones. Malaysia has implemented a social media ban for kids under 16, Poland wants phones and smartwatches locked away at school, and Kentucky schools just collected $27 million from social media companies accused of building products as addictive as cigarettes.Dave Bittner drops by for a visit and we discuss Spotify listeners apparently preferring old music because new music keeps getting algorithmically focus-grouped into oblivion and a healthy dose of Star Wars, Downton Abbey, Derry Girls, Lego, books, gadgets, and AI-generated jazz. Add it all up and you've got another week where the only thing moving faster than technology is the legal department trying to keep up.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.Shopify - Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial today at Shopify.com/grumpyPrivate Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

This interview was recorded for GOTO Unscripted.https://gotopia.techRichard Feldman - Software Engineer at Zed Industries & Author of "Elm in Action"Anjana Vakil - Freelance Software Engineer & Developer EducatorCheck out more here:https://gotopia.tech/articles/442RESOURCESRichardhttps://bsky.app/profile/rtfeldman.bsky.socialhttps://twitter.com/rtfeldmanhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/rtfeldmanhttps://github.com/rtfeldmanAnjanahttps://bsky.app/profile/anjana.devhttps://github.com/vakilahttps://www.linkedin.com/in/anjanavakilhttps://anjana.devLinkshttps://zed.devhttps://adventofcode.comhttps://www.roc-lang.orgDESCRIPTIONRichard Feldman and Anjana Vakil trace the Roc programming language's ambitious ground-up compiler rewrite — from Rust to Zig — which happened to coincide almost exactly with the year AI coding assistants went from useful to transformative. Richard describes how AI's role shifted over just 12 months: from mechanical test-porting grunt work, where it was reliable but limited, to genuine architectural collaboration on harder problems. The key insight is that guardrails don't live in prompts ("never do this" gets ignored constantly), they live in the code itself — invariants and automated feedback loops that catch the AI when it strays, rather than instructions it will cheerfully disregard.The conversation widens into what the AI era means for software quality and trust. Both are wary of the coming wave of AI-generated "slop" — buggy, mediocre software produced at scale — but Richard makes the counterintuitive case that competitive pressure might actually force quality up: if everything is slop, the products that aren't will stand out hard. Anjana draws a parallel to consumer electronics brand trust: just like we pay a premium for the USB-C cable we know won't cause a fire, developers and users will increasingly gravitate toward names and communities they can vouch for. The open source contribution model, they agree, needs new systems to navigate this — and Roc v1, due before the end of 2026, will be a test case.RECOMMENDED BOOKSRichard Feldman • Elm in Action • https://amzn.to/387kujIDean Bocker • Don't Panic!

In this special live episode from the HETMA Roadshow in Mechelen, Belgium, Joe Way wraps up HETMA's first European Roadshow with conversations from the show floor at Thomas More University of Applied Sciences. The episode captures the energy, lessons, and excitement of a milestone event that brought higher education AV professionals, university leaders, and manufacturer partners together to build community, share challenges, and explore the future of learning spaces in Europe.Joe opens the episode by reflecting on the success of the two-day Roadshow and the clear desire across the European higher ed AV community for more opportunities like this. While HETMA has built a proven Roadshow model in North America, this event showed that the same need for connection, collaboration, and shared problem-solving exists across Europe, even as the format must be adapted to fit regional culture, expectations, and community dynamics.The first conversation features Darta from Catchbox, who shares how Catchbox has grown beyond its iconic throwable microphone into a broader microphone and audio system for education spaces. She discusses the value of simple, teacher-friendly technology, including the Catchbox Cube, Clip microphone, handheld microphone, receiver, and built-in DSP capabilities. The conversation highlights how reducing complexity for instructors also reduces support tickets for AV teams.Joe then sits down with Tom from Thomas More University of Applied Sciences, one of the key leaders behind hosting the Roadshow. Tom reflects on the intentional design of the university's newest building, explaining that technology should enhance learning rather than force teachers to adapt to technology. The discussion centers on purposeful design, student comfort, long-term thinking, and the impressive retractable LED wall that became one of the standout features of the campus tour.Next, Kenny from Thomas More joins the conversation to talk about the behind-the-scenes work required to make the event successful. He shares how the university's AV team supports multiple campuses while maintaining a shared vision and strong internal trust. Kenny emphasizes that events like the Roadshow create the rare opportunity for peers to step away from their daily work, compare challenges, and learn directly from one another.Joe also speaks with Mia, Director of Infrastructure and Facilities at Thomas More, following her keynote on the university's approach to educational infrastructure. She explains the guiding principles behind their learning spaces, including community, ease of learning, desire to learn, sustainability, and innovation. Her perspective reinforces one of the strongest themes of the episode: the best learning spaces begin with the student and teacher experience, not the technology.The episode continues with conversations from several manufacturer partners, including Sennheiser, Crestron, Biamp, and Extron. Across these conversations, recurring themes emerge around ease of use, stability, security, inclusiveness, audio quality, hybrid learning, room consistency, USB-C integration, standardization, and the importance of long-term manufacturer support. Each partner reflects on the value of being able to meet directly with higher education professionals in a community-centered environment rather than a traditional sales-first setting.A major theme throughout the episode is that higher education institutions across regions face many of the same challenges. Whether in North America or Europe, AV teams are working to create frictionless rooms, support hybrid and active learning, stretch technology investments over longer lifecycles, reduce support complexity, and make spaces more inclusive and sustainable. The Roadshow format gives these professionals a place to compare notes, share ideas, and build relationships that continue after the event ends.The episode closes with Joe reflecting on the overall success of the first European HETMA Roadshow. The conversations, campus tour, vendor showcase, keynote sessions, and networking moments all point toward a clear conclusion: the spark has been lit. The European higher ed AV community is ready for more connection, more collaboration, and more opportunities to come together through HETMA.Guests FeaturedDarta, CatchboxDiscusses Catchbox's expanding microphone ecosystem, including the Cube, Clip microphone, handheld microphone, receiver, and built-in DSP.Tom, Thomas More University of Applied SciencesReflects on hosting the first European HETMA Roadshow and the intentional design of Thomas More's newest learning spaces.Kenny, Thomas More University of Applied SciencesShares the behind-the-scenes perspective on organizing the event and the value of bringing peers together.Mia, Thomas More University of Applied SciencesExplains the educational infrastructure strategy behind Thomas More's learning spaces, with a focus on student and teacher experience.Stefan, SennheiserHighlights the importance of education as a vertical, along with ease of use, stability, inclusiveness, acoustics, and listening fatigue.William, CrestronDiscusses the importance of networking, understanding customer needs, and supporting the future of educational environments.Peter, BiampTalks about frictionless rooms, consistent user experiences, post-pandemic AV maturity, and long-term technology quality.Leon Klinger, ExtronShares insights on USB-C standardization, BYOD and BYOM applications, signal switching, and the importance of early manufacturer engagement.Key TakeawaysThe first European HETMA Roadshow demonstrated a strong need for regional higher ed AV community-building.Technology should support teaching and learning in a seamless way, not become the center of the experience.Simple, reliable, teacher-friendly systems reduce support burden and improve classroom outcomes.European institutions are facing familiar challenges around hybrid learning, room standardization, USB-C, sustainability, and long-term support.The most successful learning spaces begin with students, teachers, pedagogy, and intentional design.Manufacturer partnerships are strongest when they are built on trust, support, training, and long-term relationships.The HETMA Roadshow model has strong potential to grow across Europe when adapted through local leadership and cultural understanding.Episode ThemesHigher ed AV community-buildingEuropean learning space designHETMA Roadshow expansionStudent-centered infrastructureTeacher-friendly technologyUSB-C and classroom standardizationHybrid learning and BYOD/BYOM spacesAudio quality and listening fatigueSustainability and long-term planningManufacturer and university partnerships

Episode 348 of the Vision Cast Podcast Network. Host JC (aka DJ Mac)settles into the chair after editor Salvis hands off for the night, then leads a wide ranging chat with the crew. Angela is out this week getting the house ready for her grandparents arriving Friday and her parents the following week. Katie can't join tonight and returns next Tuesday. JC checks in on the episode count: this is 348, with 350 in sight.Crew introductions follow. Nightingale Nora (Nora Thielking) talks about learning to chop her own food with a blender, getting through a rough patch, and looking forward to coffee with her neighbors. Donald, who syndicates the show on the Super Hit Mix Radio Network and helps with AI Radio, checks in next. Then Phil (Phillip) joins from California on his way home, with the heat finally easing off. Phil's only announcement: no work this Friday.JC walks through his own Friday: a life plan meeting with his self direction team in the morning, then his regular Delight Sensory Worship session in the evening, with a shoutout to the Delight Worship team and a possible behind the scenes piece coming in July. The weekend plan is JC's first walk across the fully gated pedestrian deck of the New York Beacon Bridge, end to end and back, camera in hand. Apple talk takes the middle of the show: hopes for iOS 27, taking the dev profile early so the September betas arrive on day one, what Apple Intelligence could finally do for accessibility, and a side trip into beta cycle history (iOS 26 had nine betas, iOS 27 might hit ten).Rita Garcia joins mid show fresh from doing laundry at her mom's placeand the crew catches her up. JC plays an archive clip introducing Denny (aka H.Streets) and one of Denny's jingles. Denny's music is on every major streaming platform under H-Streets, and his ACB Community Karaoke event is on the way back. From there JC pulls clips from Blooper Central, including talking clock interruptions and microphone mishaps, with plenty of laughs from the crew. Quick tech aside: JC is hunting for an Ambio Smart headset (USB-C version) which appears to have been discontinued. Rita lets the crew know her birthday is next Tuesday and gets early birthday wishes. JC then tells the smoke story: the eight outlet power strip on the back of his desk lost contact, let out a puff of smoke, tripped the breaker, no fire, and he has a new plan to keep the mixer plug safe before the AC goes in for summer. Preston Gaylor finally joins late but with a great excuse: a friend's church invited him to dinner and Bible study, and a church member drove him there and back, saving him roughly sixty dollars in Uber fare.Nora delivers a heartfelt shoutout to the rest of the team, including Veronica. Preston wraps the night with the signature "Keep technology alive, let your talents shine," and Nora caps it with her playful "Build the milk!"This week's announcementsAngela is preparing for visiting family and returns next week.Katie returns next week.Rita Garcia's birthday is next Tuesday.Denny aka H.Streets has an upcoming ACB Community Karaoke event.Radio Connection Live takes a Memorial Day pause and is back the week of June 1st. Keep technology alive, let your talent shine. Recorded 2026-05-27. Hosted by JC on the VisionCast Network.
In this episode, we examine the Anker Nano Power Strip (Model A9196), a 10-port desk-clamp charging solution designed to address cable management and accessibility in modern workspaces. The device features a dual-zone layout with four AC outlets (1,875W capacity) and six USB ports, including two USB-C ports that deliver up to 70W individually or share that capacity when used simultaneously. Its defining characteristic is the silicone-lined clamp mechanism that secures to desk edges between 0.6 and 1.8 inches thick, keeping the unit's above-desk profile at just 0.75 inches while providing one-handed access to ports. The strip includes 1,500J surge protection and smart overload cutoff with a manual reset button. While the USB-C charging capacity suits laptops, tablets, and phones, the product recommends using AC outlets for devices requiring more than 65W to avoid slower charging speeds. The design targets users seeking consolidated power delivery and reduced desktop clutter, though compatibility is limited to desks within specific thickness parameters and excludes glass surfaces or angled edges exceeding 45 degrees.

Whether he's using the "Force" to make his blue macaron vibrate or entering "Grab & Go" mode for your next cosplay, the engineering behind his squishy skin and directional audio is undeniable. However, with a $599 price tag, the collector community remains torn on whether these premium features—like the screen-accurate robes and "toddling" walk—justify the cost or if it's just a high-tech Wiff for most collectors.

Have you ever noticed how certain sounds, voices, or songs can instantaneously transport you to another world? Whether it's a track from high school or the specific creak of a childhood porch, audio has a unique "backdoor" into our deepest memories and emotions. In this episode, we explore how to tap into that same principle to radically deepen our connection to nature. While we are biologically biased to navigate the world through a visual "spotlight," we often miss the 360-degree sanctuary that sound provides. By shifting our focus from looking to listening, we move beyond simple identification and start experiencing nature as a floodlight—an immersive, restorative flood of information that lowers our stress and pulls us directly into the present moment.To explore this invisible landscape, I'm joined by my friend Sue Pelmulder, a birder and audio engineer who learned how to combine these skills and reveal a new connection to nature. Together, we set out on a 5:00 AM "field trip" for the Santa Clara Valley Bird Alliance's annual Birdathon. Using high-end recording gear, including an 18-inch parabolic dish that acts as a "zoom lens for the ears," we captured the hidden details of the California's Diablo Range. From the haunting, prehistoric calls of the Pied-billed Grebe to the singular "water glump" of a diving Western Grebe, this episode is an immersive look at how listening can reveal a world that our eyes alone would have entirely overlooked.Ultimately, this journey isn't just about professional gear or rare species; it's about the "treasure hunt" and connection to nature available right outside your front door. We discuss how you can get to know your individual neighborhood birds, and why tools like Merlin are leveling the playing field for new observers. Whether you are an experienced birder or someone looking for a "universal reset button" for a tired mind, this conversation with Sue Pelmulder will challenge you to close your eyes, open your ears, and discover nature in a new way.

Episode 187 covers one of the biggest weeks wrestling has seen all year as AEW Double or Nothing completely reshapes the company's championship picture, WWE heads toward its historic Clash in Italy premium live event, major injuries continue piling up inside The Vision faction, and the independent wrestling landscape sees a massive ownership shift. We break down the full fallout from AEW Double or Nothing 2026 from Queens, New York as MJF regains the AEW World Championship in a brutal Title vs. Hair main event against Darby Allin. We discuss the violent structure of the match, Darby's terrifying Coffin Drop off the stage scaffolding, the hardway bleeding controversy under the New York State Athletic Commission, and Kevin Knight's shocking heel turn after attacking Darby while he was strapped to a stretcher. We also look at the end of Darby's chaotic 40-day title reign after seven successful defenses and MJF beginning his third AEW World Championship run. We also cover the massive Stadium Stampede spectacle involving Jericho, The Hurt Syndicate, The Elite, Ricochet, The Don Callis Family, and The Dogs, plus Konosuke Takeshita defeating Kazuchika Okada for the AEW International Championship before Kyle Fletcher returned and betrayed Takeshita to officially end Protoshida. We discuss Jon Moxley retaining the Continental Championship against Kyle O'Reilly, Thekla surviving a four-way Women's World Championship match, Cage and Cope winning the AEW World Tag Team Championship in a violent "I Quit" street fight against FTR, and the latest Owen Hart Cup tournament developments involving Will Ospreay, Swerve Strickland, Athena, Mina Shirakawa, Samoa Joe, Bandido, Sareee, Persephone, Hazuki, and the mystery Wild Card entrant replacing the injured Willow Nightingale. Outside the ring, AEW officially announced the new AEW Redemption pay-per-view for July 26 at the Bell Centre in Montreal, bringing the company to ten annual pay-per-views for the first time ever. We discuss Tony Khan's comments about Montreal's wrestling history, Mick Foley potentially appearing at the event, and what the continued expansion of AEW's pay-per-view calendar means moving forward. We also break down the major independent wrestling business story of the week as former WWE stars Big Damo and Nikki Cross officially acquire ownership of PROGRESS Wrestling and co-ownership of DEFY Wrestling. We discuss their vision for the companies, expansion plans across the UK, relationships with Pro Wrestling NOAH and other promotions, the future of women's wrestling under Cross' leadership, and why this move could become one of the most important independent wrestling developments of the year. On the WWE side, we preview Clash in Italy, WWE's first-ever premium live event in Italy taking place from Turin at the Inalpi Arena. We break down Cody Rhodes defending the Undisputed WWE Championship against Gunther, Roman Reigns facing Jacob Fatu in Tribal Combat for the World Heavyweight Championship, Rhea Ripley defending the WWE Women's Championship against Jade Cargill in a WrestleMania rematch, Becky Lynch defending the Women's Intercontinental Championship against Sol Ruca, and Brock Lesnar returning to face Oba Femi after appearing to retire at WrestleMania 42. We also discuss Saturday Night's Main Event fallout as The Vision retained the World Tag Team Championship against The Street Profits before WWE later announced Logan Paul suffered a torn triceps that will sideline him for months. We cover Bron Breakker replacing Paul as Austin Theory's tag team partner, Theory's brutal chair attack on Joe Hendry, Brie Bella and Paige retaining the Women's Tag Team Championship, Penta retaining against Ethan Page, Jade Cargill pinning Rhea Ripley ahead of Clash in Italy, and Sol Ruca officially earning her Women's Intercontinental Championship opportunity against Becky Lynch. Plus, we discuss WWE officially launching the 2026 King & Queen of the Ring tournaments next week on Raw from Turin, LA Knight declaring himself for the tournament while targeting Roman Reigns, Jimmy Uso defending the modern Bloodline, and the increasing likelihood that this year's finals once again culminate at Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia. We also preview AAA Noches de Grandes, NJPW/CMLL Fantasticamania, Raw, NXT, Dynamite, Collision, SmackDown, TNA Impact, NWA Powerrr, and the entire week ahead across professional wrestling.

Geek Pride Day kicks off an episode packed with the kind of tips you’ll actually use. You’ll learn why Shift+Tab is your fastest escape from a runaway numbered list, how holding the lower-left CarPlay button summons Siri, and why copy/paste (and drag-and-drop) between apps still beats exporting and re-importing every time. You’ll also get the real story on Comcast’s email migration (spoiler: it’s not mandatory), discover why the Screenshot app blows past Command-Shift-5 (and -4), and figure out how to shut down the fake browser notifications hijacking your Mac. Then it’s into the meaty stuff: whether those no-name fast chargers are quietly cooking your devices, and the brands the guys actually trust to plug in without worry. Public charging stations look innocent until they aren’t, so the crew breaks down power-only cables, data blockers, and the chillingly clever O.MG Cable from Hak5: Don’t Get Caught handing a stranger the keys to your iPhone over a free USB port. You’ll get strategies for sharing organized photo libraries with the non-Mac humans in your life, dock recommendations for driving external monitors from your laptop, and a stacked Cool Stuff Found run featuring Gifski for gorgeous animated GIFs, WhatCable.uk for decoding that mystery USB-C cable in your drawer, Talk For Me v3 piping text-to-speech into FaceTime calls, and free GigSky eSIM data for Visa Signature cardholders heading abroad.

UGREEN continues to release new and updated accessories to help you stay charged on the move and keep track of all your items' locations. UGREEN Nexode Air 65W Charger The Nexode Air has an ultra-compact and palm-sized design. It is super light for a 65-watt charger as UGREEN has used their proprietary Airpyra stacked architecture to shrink down its size while still delivering high output numbers. Making the Nexode Air charger even more compact is the folding 3-pin plug. The 3 pins fold down completely flat into the base of the charger. The charger comes with one USB-C port on the front of the device. The Nexode Air utilises advanced GaN technology, enabling fast, efficient charging with lower heat and a smaller form factor. Like with all UGREEN charging products, there is a whole host of safety features built in to protect both the charger and the devices you are charging and to prolong the life of the batteries being charged. It is certainly the smallest charger we have come across to date that delivers this type of power, making it a great solution for on-the-go charging. The UGREEN Nexode Air 65W Charger delivers super-compact power on the go and will be available directly from the UGREEN website with an RRP of €34.99. UGREEN FineTrack Series The UGREEN FineTrack Series is a selection of smart trackers, which are an alternative to something like Apple's AirTags. We took a look at the first version of the FineTrack series here last year. UGREEN have updated the line now with some new trackers which focus on longer battery life than the original devices. UGREEN FineTrack Mini 2 Smart Finder The UGREEN FineTrack Mini 2 Smart Finder is a small device, ideal for connecting to something like a set of keys. The tracker comes with a silicone case and keyring connector to protect it from life's rough and tumble and help you attach it appropriately. The FineTrack Mini 2 comes with an inbuilt battery which can last between 5 and 7 years. The device is IP68 rated, which means it can withstand being fully submerged in 2 meters of water for up to 60 minutes. It also comes with a very loud 110dB speaker to help you audibly locate the device if needed. UGREEN FineTrack 2 Smart Finder The FineTrack 2 Smart Finder is a small ball-shaped device which comes with a short lanyard for attaching. The FineTrack 2 Smart Finder has similar specs to the FineTrack Mini 2 Smart Finder, also coming with an internal battery rated for 5 to 7 years of use and a 110dB speaker. The design lends itself towards being attached to a backpack or similar, but its solid design means it will be suitable for many applications. Both of these devices have high-visibility fluorescent accents, which make them stand out in low-light environments. They are both certified to work with Apple's "Find My" service, which means you can benefit from their global network for locating your devices and also get smart reminders on your phone when you leave a device behind. It is really straightforward to add the devices in the Find My App. You just head to "Items", click the "+" symbol and then press the button on the front of the tracker. Once you have given the device a name, you can then track its location from within the app, get directions to where it is located, play a sound to help find it and keep an eye on the battery level. More Info/ Where to Buy? To find out more about either the Nexode Air 65W Charger or the new FineTrack devices, visit the UGREEN website here: https://www.ugreen.com/en-eu The products will be available to pick up from the UGREEN website directly or Amazon this week.
In this episode, we explore the Bob & Brad L7 Ultra Massage Gun, a $159.99 device designed by physical therapists that combines percussion therapy with heat and red/infrared light. The massage gun offers five adjustable speeds with 25 lbs of stall force, while the heated tip reaches 104°F–113°F to help relax tight muscles. Notable features include a built-in extension handle that adds nearly 8 inches of reach with a 90°–180° adjustable head for accessing your own back and shoulders, a whisper-quiet motor operating at 55 dB or below, and up to 4 hours of battery life with USB-C fast charging. The unit includes multiple interchangeable massage heads, a 10-minute auto-off safety feature, and comes with a zippered travel case. We discuss how the triple-synergy approach—combining percussion, heat, and light therapy—aims to improve circulation and provide faster relief, and consider whether these integrated features offer meaningful benefits for daily muscle recovery and pain management.

Review of the Werewolf VFLEX USB-C power supply cable system. https://werewolf.us/collections/werewolf-products/products/vflex-3-pack-starter-kit Forum: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/blog/eevblog-1749-werewolf-vflex-usb-c-power-supply-adapters/
In deze aflevering van De Schaal van Hebben test Stijn Goossens de Sony 1000X THE COLLEXION, een ultra-premium koptelefoon waarmee Sony tien jaar 1000X-serie viert. De ColleXion (modelnaam WH-1000XX, waarbij de X staat voor het Romeinse cijfer 10) is geen opvolger van de WH-1000XM6, maar een luxere variant die erbovenop wordt gepositioneerd. Sony lanceerde in 2016 de allereerste MDR-1000X en bouwde daarmee een van de populairste lijnen actieve ruisonderdrukkende koptelefoons. Vooral de XM3 en XM4 werden langdurig gezien als referentiepunt in het segment. De nieuwe ColleXion mikt expliciet op de fanaten en concurreert qua prijs met de Apple AirPods Max (€580). In Nederland kost de ColleXion 630 euro, terwijl de WH-1000XM6 een adviesprijs van 450 euro had bij introductie en inmiddels onder de helft van de ColleXion-prijs te vinden is. Sony focust voor deze jubileumeditie op luxere materialen, metalen accenten en synthetisch leer, een bredere hoofdband, plattere oorschelpen en verbeterde drivers. Daarnaast is er een speciale knop voor 360-graden geluid, met AI-opgeschaalde audio. Stijn beoordeelt het geluid als verrassend goed. Toch ziet hij ook minpunten. De batterijduur valt met maximaal 24 uur lager uit dan bij de XM6, de doos bevat alleen een 3,5mm-audiokabel en geen USB-C-kabel, en de ruisonderdrukking is volgens hem niet beter dan bij de XM6. De koptelefoon is bovendien niet meer opvouwbaar. Stijn concludeert dat Sony met de ColleXion vooral concurreert met zichzelf. De WH-1000XM6 levert vergelijkbare geluidskwaliteit voor de helft van de prijs, biedt een betere batterij en is opvouwbaar. Voor wie een goede koptelefoon zoekt is dat de logischere keuze; de ColleXion is iets voor de liefhebber die wat extra geld te besteden heeft.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Apple has not always been known as the bargain option, but the latest Apple Silicon Macs might be changing that conversation. In this episode, the team gets into the surprising value of the M4 Mac Mini, why even a base model can be serious overkill for many voice actors, and how smaller machines like the MacBook Air and MacBook "Neo" style systems compare for remote sessions, Source Connect, Pro Tools, and travel rigs. The conversation also wanders into classic Pro Audio Suite territory, including old Macs that refuse to die, running Linux or Windows on ageing Apple hardware, right to repair, weird manufacturer lockouts, obsolete cables, Shure MV88 bargain hunting, Pro Tools archiving disasters, and why keeping your sessions self contained still matters.

This week on the Higher Ed AV Podcast, Joe Way tries something brand new: the first-ever No Context Flash Pitch. The concept is simple, chaotic, and exactly what makes the higher ed AV community so special. Guests jump on live, get two minutes, and can pitch anything they want. A product. A booth. A project. A tip. A warning. A reason to get excited for InfoComm. No prep. No polish. No sponsor package. Just real people, real energy, and real reasons to show up. What follows is a fast-paced, community-powered preview of InfoComm 2026, featuring manufacturers, HETMA partners, higher ed professionals, and longtime AV friends sharing what they are bringing to the show floor and why it matters for the higher education vertical. Bert Feldman, INOGENI Bert Feldman, U.S. Sales Director at INOGENI, kicks off the Flash Pitch format with a powerhouse overview of the company's growing AV and UC portfolio. He previews INOGENI's latest work around USB, USB-C, IP, multi-camera switching, BYOM, room system flexibility, and automated classroom capture workflows. The headline is CamTrack, INOGENI's multi-camera automated switching solution designed to support active learning spaces, lecture capture rooms, hybrid classrooms, and flexible teaching environments. Bert also highlights INOGENI's IP-to-USB converter, Dante-enabled workflows, the upcoming U-BRIDGE USB-C extender, and the award-winning TOGGLE series. For higher ed, the message is clear: INOGENI is helping campuses simplify the complicated spaces where cameras, microphones, computers, and collaboration platforms all need to work together without friction. John Palazinski, GUDE Systems John Palazinski from GUDE Systems brings the perfect mix of product preview, HETMA partnership, and show-floor energy. He talks about GUDE's strong involvement with HETMA, including participation in the HETMA Approved evaluation program, and previews new products coming to InfoComm, including an updated AC/DC box, a new UPS box, and GUDE's cloud software for managing power and connected devices. For higher ed institutions, John's pitch is about more than power. It is about reliability, remote management, uptime, and giving AV teams better tools to support the rooms their campuses depend on every day. He also teases a special gift for HETMA members who stop by the booth, proving once again that swag and smart infrastructure can absolutely coexist. Renee Benson, Sony Renee Benson from Sony joins from the road and still manages to bring the heart of the episode into focus: relationships. Sony lists Renee Benson among its HETMA recognitions as “Best Vendor Rep,” and Sony's InfoComm 2026 page lists booth C8301. Renee previews Sony's InfoComm presence, including new BRAVIA displays, P-Series and S-Series solutions, LED offerings, and the opportunity for attendees to connect directly with Sony's regional teams. Her segment is a reminder that technology is only part of the equation. In higher ed AV, trust matters. Relationships matter. Having vendor partners who understand the campus environment matters. Renee's pitch captures exactly why the best vendor relationships feel less transactional and more like an extension of the community. Michael Gunderson, Highland Community College One of our most experienced HETMA members, Michael Gunderson, uses his two minutes to deliver a fantastic InfoComm survival guide for first-time attendees. The advice is practical gold: download the app, mark the vendors you want to see, study the floor layout, learn the numbering system, find the restrooms, locate the free food and water, and give yourself time to understand the show before trying to sprint through it. He also shouts out the HETMA booth, morning coffee, happy hours, peer networking, and the importance of making real connections. This segment turns into one of the most useful parts of the episode because it reminds everyone that InfoComm can be overwhelming, but it does not have to be. With the right plan and the right community, the biggest AV show in North America can feel a whole lot smaller. Brandy Johnson, PTZOptics Brandy Johnson from PTZOptics brings big energy and a bold preview of what the company is bringing to InfoComm. She talks about PTZOptics stepping into a new era as an employee-owned company, complete with new branding, new booth energy, and a stronger focus on complete video workflows. Her pitch centers on interoperability, partner ecosystems, and helping attendees experience how PTZOptics products work inside real AV environments. Brandy highlights the Link 4K, Dante AV-H workflows, hands-on test-drive stations, partner integrations with companies like NETGEAR and INOGENI, new 4K products, updated web GUI capabilities, and voice-tracking integrations. For higher ed, this is where PTZOptics shines. Brandy positions their solutions not just as cameras, but as part of a larger teaching, learning, streaming, and content creation ecosystem. It is about giving campuses flexible, scalable video tools that actually fit the way classrooms, lecture halls, studios, and hybrid spaces operate. Bill O'Donnell, Babson College Bill O'Donnell from Babson College joins from the end-user side and offers one of the most important reminders of the episode: do not skip the small booths. A Crestron case study identifies Bill O'Donnell as an Instructional Technology Integration Specialist in Media Services at Babson College. Bill talks about the value of walking the show floor with curiosity, especially in the smaller booths where emerging companies and early-stage ideas often appear before the larger manufacturers adopt them. He points to the evolution of tracking camera technology as an example, noting how innovations that once looked niche can eventually become major parts of the AV ecosystem. His segment is a perfect higher ed perspective: innovation does not always announce itself with the biggest booth, the loudest demo, or the most expensive buildout. Sometimes the next big thing is tucked away in a corner, waiting for the right campus technologist to notice it. Jason Jenkins, Studiomatic Jason Jenkins from Studiomatic jumps in after seeing Joe's LinkedIn post and delivers a compelling pitch for the continuing evolution of one-button studios. Studiomatic's own site identifies Jason Jenkins as the developer behind its One Button Studio solutions. Jason explains how he has spent years building simple, powerful presentation recording systems that allow faculty, staff, students, and creators to walk in with a PowerPoint, press one button, and leave with a finished video. He previews the One Button Studio Pro, the mobile or desk-based One Button Studio Go, and the upcoming One Button Studio Solo. The magic is in the simplicity: no production crew, no complicated login process, no editing headache, and no steep learning curve. Just an intuitive kiosk-style system designed to make high-quality content creation accessible. For higher ed, Jason's segment is especially relevant. Campuses are still looking for better ways to support lecture capture, faculty media creation, student presentations, online learning content, and self-service production spaces. Studiomatic's approach makes those workflows approachable, repeatable, and scalable. HETMA at InfoComm 2026 Joe closes the episode by previewing the full HETMA experience at InfoComm 2026. HETMA's week includes the Higher Education Summit, the Higher Ed AV Awards, the HETMA booth, morning coffee, happy hours, show floor tours, live podcasting, booth activations, and the kind of hallway conversations that often become the most valuable part of the entire show. The HETMA InfoComm 2026 page lists the booth as C6023 and outlines a full week of higher ed-focused programming from June 15–19, 2026. Joe also previews the new VIP Qualified-Buyers After-Hours Reception, designed to connect higher ed decision-makers with manufacturers, integrators, and partners around real projects, real budgets, and real needs. The goal is not just networking for networking's sake. It is matchmaking with purpose. Episode Takeaway This episode proves that InfoComm is not just about products. It is about people, timing, trust, curiosity, and community. From INOGENI's automated camera workflows to GUDE's power management, Sony's display ecosystem, PTZOptics' video innovation, Babson's end-user perspective, Studiomatic's one-button content creation, and HETMA's community-first show strategy, this Flash Pitch episode captures the best of what makes higher ed AV different. It is a little unpredictable. It is a little chaotic. And it is exactly the kind of energy that makes people want to be part of the room.

Episode 186 covers one of the busiest weeks wrestling has seen all year as the fallout from John Cena's major WWE announcement, growing TKO criticism, AEW's loaded Owen Hart Cup, and major roster uncertainty across multiple companies all collide at once. We break down the increasingly divided reaction to the John Cena Classic, including criticism from Jeff Jarrett and Lance Storm over WWE replacing wins and losses with fan voting. We also discuss WWE's growing ad issues under TKO after O'Shea Jackson Jr. called the current presentation "almost unwatchable," plus the return of WWE house shows and why the company is suddenly prioritizing more affordable live events again. We also cover Andrew Yang supporting Kevin Nash's push for WWE wrestlers to consider SAG-AFTRA representation, the ongoing uncertainty surrounding Asuka's WWE future, and the latest confusion regarding TKO's Arizona partnership after reports involving Survivor Series and Royal Rumble were corrected. Outside WWE, AEW officially revealed the 2026 Owen Hart Foundation Tournament brackets featuring Will Ospreay vs. Samoa Joe, Swerve Strickland vs. Bandido, and a stacked women's field led by Athena, Mina Shirakawa, Sareee, and Willow Nightingale. We also discuss Tony Khan addressing AEW's relationship with Jazwares, confidence in Nielsen ratings, injury concerns surrounding Sareee and Persephone, and the growing speculation that Mick Foley could potentially appear at Double or Nothing in Queens.

Stride Robotics Lightweight Power Knee Redefining Movement This episode wrapped up Limb Loss and Limb Difference Awareness Month in a powerful way by looking toward the future of mobility, technology, and what it truly means to help people live again after limb loss. After a month full of stories about trauma, cancer, amputation, grief, fear, faith, and resilience, I wanted to end this series by asking a bigger question: once someone survives, how do we help them truly reclaim their life? That is why I invited Revanth, cofounder and CEO of Stride Robotics, onto the BAWarrior podcast. Stride Robotics is working to redefine mobility through lightweight powered prosthetic technology designed to restore strength, endurance, and freedom for amputees. I also have the honor of serving as an advisor for their company, helping give feedback from the lived experience of an above-knee amputee. In this conversation, Revanth shared his journey from robotics and engineering into the prosthetic world. What stood out to me most was his honesty. He admitted that, early on, he was focused on building something impressive. But through conversations with amputees and prosthetists, he realized that innovation only matters if it solves a real human problem. That shift — from building something cool to building something truly useful — is where the heart of this conversation lived. We talked about the communication gap between engineers, prosthetists, and amputees. All three groups are speaking from different perspectives, and yet all three must work together if prosthetic technology is going to improve real lives. As an amputee, I know firsthand that we do not always describe things in technical terms. We describe how something feels. We talk about trust, effort, fear, exhaustion, balance, and whether a device allows us to live the way we want to live. One of the most powerful parts of this episode was our conversation around “mental load.” True mobility is not just about walking. It is about not having to think through every single step. It is being able to hike and look at the view instead of staring at the ground. It is walking into a room without calculating every movement. It is trusting your body and your prosthesis enough to live fully. Revanth explained how Stride Robotics is working on a powered knee that is lighter, quieter, more affordable, and more functional than many powered options currently available. Their goal is to reduce strain on the hips, back, shoulders, and intact limb while helping amputees move with more confidence and less compensating. We talked about battery life, USB-C charging, fall prevention, waterproof possibilities, loaner programs, clinician support, and even future data feedback that could help prosthetists better understand how their patients are moving in real life. But what I loved most was that this was never just a conversation about a device. It was about dignity. It was about access. It was about making sure technology does not only serve the few who can afford it, but eventually reaches amputees around the world who are desperate for mobility, independence, and hope. This episode is also a call to action. Whether you are an amputee, prosthetist, engineer, student, investor, donor, or simply someone who cares, there is a place for you in this movement. Stride Robotics needs feedback, connection, research, support, and people willing to help move innovation forward. Limb loss awareness cannot end with awareness. It has to move us into action. My hope is that this episode inspires you to get involved, ask better questions, support meaningful change, and become a beacon of hope for those still fighting to reclaim their mobility and their life. Join the Movement. Bring dignity, independence, and mobility to all. Today, that’s YOUR Call to Action, your charge from this month of story telling. Be a part of the change, today! You can reach out to us: Angie: BAWarrior360@gmail.com Revanth: LinkedIn Stride Robotics: LinkedIn Stride Robotics: Website Thank you for watching, sharing, and subscribing.

We break down WWE Backlash 2026 from every angle as the company heads into its first Backlash event of the ESPN era in the United States. Roman Reigns defends the World Heavyweight Championship against Jacob Fatu in the biggest match on the card, with the Bloodline story entering a completely new phase after reports surfaced that Reigns is currently not planned for Night of Champions or the June television leading into it. We discuss the family history behind the match, Jacob Fatu's rise from enforcer to true singles star, and why this feels like the biggest opportunity of his WWE career so far. Seth Rollins vs. Bron Breakker may be the most personal match on the show as the collapse of The Vision finally comes to a head. Seth Rollins opened up this week about creating the faction because of insecurity and distrust toward Roman Reigns and CM Punk, while Bron Breakker continues trying to prove he has completely outgrown his former mentor and is ready to become WWE's next centerpiece star. The WWE United States Championship feud between Trick Williams and Sami Zayn has become one of the strangest stories in wrestling all year. We discuss the reported backstage pushback toward the Gingerbread Man storyline, why several people in WWE reportedly viewed the angle as "hokey and archaic," and Sami Zayn's explanation that he intentionally wanted to experiment with a character shift designed to divide the audience rather than function as a traditional heel turn. We also preview IYO SKY vs. Asuka, Danhausen's mystery partner situation against The Miz and Kit Wilson, and the growing speculation that Jelly Roll could appear at Backlash despite CM Punk remaining the betting favorite internally and externally. John Cena also continues heavily teasing what he calls a "history-making" announcement at Backlash that will "shock the very foundation of WWE." Reports now point toward the possible launch of Club WWE tied to the company's growing ESPN integration, and we discuss why WWE is clearly positioning the announcement as one of the defining talking points of the entire event. Outside WWE, one of the biggest stories in wrestling involves Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods officially leaving WWE after reportedly rejecting TKO restructuring deals. We break down the end of The New Day as an active WWE act, why the situation feels different from a normal release, the AEW interest already surrounding both men, and what their departures say about WWE's changing business structure under TKO. AEW delivered an emotional tribute to Ted Turner following his passing at 87 years old. Sting made a surprise appearance alongside Tony Schiavone to honor the man responsible for keeping wrestling alive on TBS and TNT for decades. We reflect on Turner's impact on wrestling history, WCW surviving because of his commitment to the business, and why modern wrestling television likely looks completely different without him. We also discuss AEW Double or Nothing trending toward one of the company's strongest domestic crowds in years from Queens, New York, while Stadium Stampede officially returns for the first time since 2021. Chris Jericho, Ricochet, The Gates of Agony, and The Hurt Syndicate are all becoming part of one of AEW's signature match concepts once again as the company leans harder into faction warfare and spectacle. Plus, we cover Lei Ying Lee regaining the TNA Knockouts World Championship, Yota Tsuji earning an IWGP Heavyweight Championship rematch against Callum Newman for NJPW Dominion, MLW and CMLL's crossover event from Arena México, and the NWA celebrating the reported audience for Powerrr's return to broadcast television on Comet TV. Then we look ahead to Raw, NXT, AEW Dynamite, TNA Impact, SmackDown, AEW Collision, NWA Powerrr, WWE Saturday Night's Main Event, Double or Nothing, Dominion, and the rest of the upcoming wrestling calendar.

There are big questions in life. “Why are we here?” “What's the meaning of it all?” And of course—“Did someone fart in Rizz's chair?”Welcome to another completely normal episode of The Rizzuto Show… aka your favorite funny podcast where things spiral immediately. The show kicks off with a full-on investigation conducted by the video department, breaking down evidence like it's a true crime doc—but instead of solving a murder, we're analyzing potential chair-based gas incidents. High stakes. Real journalism.Once we've completely derailed any sense of professionalism, we jump into a classic Rizz Show game: “3 & 5.” The rules are simple—name three things in five seconds. Easy, right? Wrong. Painfully wrong.Listeners call in with confidence and leave with emotional damage. We get answers like bananas being something that “comes in pairs,” someone trying to charge their wallet (still not sure if that's USB-C or lightning), and multiple people just… forgetting how words work under pressure. It's like watching a live demonstration of what happens when your brain just hits “nah.”We do manage to give away some Point Fest tickets, but not without aggressively questioning the intelligence of everyone involved—including ourselves. There are moments of victory, moments of confusion, and a whole lot of “what just happened?”This episode of the funny podcast delivers exactly what you expect from a daily comedy show: sarcastic humor, total chaos, and a group of grown adults losing control over a very simple game. It's messy, it's ridiculous, and it's exactly why you keep coming back.If you're into daily comedy, pop culture nonsense, weird moments, and a morning show that refuses to take itself seriously, this funny podcast is your kind of disaster.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
