Todd Pierce of Riding High Ministries joins Kelly Cardenas for a powerful conversation about God, transformation, faith, relationships, prison ministry, horses, identity, and what it really takes to become the person God created you to be. Based in Idaho, Todd has spent decades using horses, ministry, and authentic relationships to help people discover freedom, purpose, healing, and a deeper relationship with God.But this isn't just a conversation about ministry.It's about transformation.What happens when God starts changing you instead of simply changing your circumstances? What can horses teach us about trust? What does spending time with people behind prison walls teach us about identity, shame, forgiveness, and second chances? And how do we recognize the prisons we may be living in—even when there are no bars around us?Todd Pierce brings decades of experience, faith, leadership, and some incredibly powerful stories to the table. But the rabbit hole we really wanted to go down was this:Who are we becoming?Because your accomplishments may tell people what you've built. Your transformation tells them who you are.This conversation goes into faith, fatherhood, relationships, leadership, prison ministry, purpose, surrender, and the uncomfortable—but beautiful—process of becoming.If you've ever wondered how God can use your past, your pain, your failures, your relationships, or even the things you thought disqualified you, this conversation is for you.Watch until the end for the question Todd answers that brings the entire conversation full circle.Subscribe to The VIBE with Kelly Cardenas, and join us as we transform leadership and life one Inchstone at a time.#ToddPierce #RidingHighMinistries #Faith #God #Transformation #ChristianLeadership #PrisonMinistry #Purpose #Leadership #KellyCardenas #TheVIBE
What if the life you're nostalgic about is actually the life you're living right now? In this episode of The VIBE with Kelly Cardenas, we talk about nostalgia, sports, family, relationships, Proverbs 31, and the strange way we can spend so much time looking back at the good old days that we completely miss the good day we're standing in.My mama used to tell me, “I am praying for your wife. You need a Proverbs 31 woman in your life.”I didn't fully understand it then.Forty years later, I get it.She wasn't just praying for a result. She was praying that I would be prepared to recognize, appreciate, and honor the answer when it arrived.That got me thinking about everything we call a “throwback”—old sports, old music, old pictures, old memories, old versions of ourselves. Maybe we don't actually miss the past. Maybe we miss who we were.And maybe someday, we're going to look back at THIS exact moment and realize it was one of the best days of our lives.The future is okay, but it's uncertain. The past is finished. The magic is right here.So be good to people. Use your voice for good. Love the people in front of you. Appreciate what you have while you have it.Because someday…you're going to be nostalgic for today.That's your Inchstone.#TheVIBE #KellyCardenas #Proverbs31 #Nostalgia #Leadership #PersonalGrowth #Relationships #SportsNostalgia #GoodOldDays #Inchstones

Amanda shares what she has learned from more than three decades in business, why she considers herself an “Internet dinosaur,” and what happens when we stop forcing people into neat little boxes.Amanda is a co-founder of Rephase Health, focused on creating a more precise roadmap for menopause and andropause. She also works as a fractional CMO and entrepreneur across emerging technology and precision health while navigating the beautiful chaos of raising teenage boys, launching a podcast, and finding ways to keep dancing—even when a broken back has other plans.But this conversation goes far beyond Amanda's résumé.Amanda and Kelly talk about civil discourse, the importance of asking difficult questions, the courage to say uncomfortable truths, and why curiosity may be one of the most important leadership skills we have lost. They explore how business, culture, faith, technology, health, music, and human connection can coexist in a life that refuses to fit neatly into a box.At the heart of this conversation is a bigger question: What happens when we stop trying to define ourselves by what we've already done and start paying attention to where we are being called next?The VIBE isn't the energy you bring into the room. It's the way people feel when you leave.Subscribe to The VIBE with Kelly Cardenas for conversations with extraordinary people about leadership, business, culture, personal growth, entrepreneurship, technology, and the moments that shape who we become.#AmandaVega #MarketingStrategy #Entrepreneurship #FractionalCMO #TheVIBE #KellyCardenas #Marketing #Leadership #Technology #PrecisionHealth #Genomics #PersonalBranding #CivilDiscourse #PersonalGrowth
Day 7 of the Duane “Keefe D” Davis Murder Trial: Tupac's Final Warning and the Shot Caller's World On Day 7 of the high-stakes murder trial of Duane “Keefe D” Davis, the man accused of orchestrating the 1996 drive-by killing of Tupac Shakur, the jury heard chilling first-hand testimony from one of the rapper's closest friends and a deep dive into the gang hierarchy that prosecutors say put Davis at the top of the chain of command. Malcolm Greenidge, better known as E.D.I. Mean of the Outlawz, took the stand under a court order after initially resisting. A childhood friend, mentor figure, and group member who called Tupac a big brother, Greenidge described riding in the caravan behind Suge Knight's BMW on the night of September 7, 1996, as the group headed toward Club 662.He watched a light-colored four-door Cadillac pull alongside the BMW. Shots erupted from the back seat. He saw an arm and a gun extend from the vehicle — the arm appearing to belong to a Black man. Horrified, he later approached the stopped BMW, only to hear the wounded Tupac warn him: “Get on the ground, they're going to shoot you.” Moments later, a police shotgun was pointed in his face. The day also featured testimony from crime scene analysts who processed the 2023 search of Davis's Henderson home, recovering production budgets, copies of Compton Street Legend, a 1996 Vibe magazine, and a scrapbook filled with contemporary newspaper clippings about Tupac's murder. A firearms technician confirmed that all seven .40-caliber casings recovered from the original crime scene were fired from the same gun, with no matches in the national ballistic database. Former Compton police gang detective Robert Ladd closed out key portions of the day by painting a clear picture of South Side Compton Crips structure. He identified Davis as a high-ranking “shot caller” and major narcotics dealer — the kind of OG who could order younger members to act and expect compliance. If Davis was in that Cadillac, Ladd testified, any shooting would have required his authorization.Timestamps:07:34 Home Search Evidence10:50 Juror Knows Witness14:25 Cartridge Case Analysis17:59 Compton Gang Expert29:19 Davis and Southside Crips2:00:46 Little Owl's Custody2:04:44 Field Cards and IdentityFor commercial free early releases, bonus episodes and more! https://www.patreon.com/exposedpodcastfilesBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/exposed-scandalous-files-of-the-elite--6073723/support.

Order "INCHSTONES - the VIBE within journalClick HereProverbs 25 Inchstones is a powerful lesson on gratitude, focus, patience, self-control, and recognizing love when life doesn't give you what you want, when you want it. In this deeply personal story, Kelly Cardenas shares the childhood moment when he received the “wrong” roller skates—and how that embarrassing reaction ultimately taught him one of life's most important lessons: it's not that we lack focus; we're often focused on the wrong thing.All I wanted were the black leather roller skates with the fat, off-white wheels from the skating rink. Instead, my mom gave me the off-brand Vera Flex skates—and I reacted like a jerk.Years later, I see that moment completely differently.My mom and my Pops were separated. She was working 16–18 hours a day to support herself and three kids. She had just upgraded us to a beautiful two-bedroom apartment, and despite everything she was carrying, she still wanted to give her son something special for his birthday.I was focused on the skates.She was focused on loving me.That distinction changes everything.In this episode of The VIBE with Kelly Cardenas, we explore Proverbs 25 and the connection between focus, gratitude, patience, prudence, diligence, self-control, humility, timing, relationships, faith, and personal growth.Proverbs 25 reminds us that purification can happen in the fire, that we don't need to chase validation, that our words can speak life, and that patience, prudence, and diligence can transform the way we respond to life's disappointments.But the biggest lesson may be this:It's not that we lack focus. It's that we are often focused on the wrong thing.When you don't get what you want, when you want it, from someone you love, pause.Before you focus on the disappointment, focus on the relationship.Before you focus on what you didn't receive, focus on what was given.Before you react, ask yourself:“What am I focusing on right now?”Because sometimes the thing we think is a disappointment is actually an expression of love we weren't mature enough to recognize yet.And sometimes the blessing isn't in getting what you wanted.Sometimes the blessing is finally understanding what you already had.Thanks for the skates, Mama. I finally understand what they were.They weren't Vera Flex skates.They were love with wheels.• Proverbs 25 and the power of focus• The difference between gratitude and entitlement• How disappointment reveals what's inside us• Why God's timing doesn't always match our timing• Patience, prudence, and diligence• Self-control and emotional reactions• Why third-party validation isn't necessary• The power of speaking life• How to recognize love in unexpected forms• What to do when you don't get what you want• Turning childhood lessons into lifelong Inchstones• Faith, gratitude, relationships, and personal growthWhen you don't get what you want, when you want it, from someone you love, pause before you react. Shift your focus from what you didn't receive to the love that was being expressed.The VIBE isn't the energy you bring into the room.It's the way people feel when you leave.Subscribe to The VIBE with Kelly Cardenas for conversations, stories, leadership lessons, faith, personal growth, business wisdom, and Inchstones designed to help you live with more Heart, Mind, and Skills.Get tickets to THE VIBE ROOMClick Here#Proverbs25 #Inchstones #TheVIBE #KellyCardenas #Gratitude #Focus #Faith #PersonalGrowth #Leadership #SelfControl #Proverbs #ChristianInspiration #LifeLessons

What does it mean to “work your land”? It means stop comparing yourself to other people, stop chasing what God didn't give you, and start faithfully working the assignment, purpose, and opportunities right in front of you. Proverbs 21 reminds us that God's plan, God's timing, wisdom, diligence, and obedience matter more than our striving.Buy Inchstones - The VIBE within journalIn this episode of The VIBE with Kelly Cardenas, we unpack what my mom meant when she would always tell me, “You're beautiful. Don't ever compare yourself to anyone.”I used to hear that as encouragement.Now I realize it was a charge of responsibility.Work your land.Stay in your lane.Stop looking sideways.Stop measuring your progress against somebody else's success.Stop getting distracted by somebody else's assignment.Proverbs 21 gives us a powerful blueprint for living with wisdom and purpose: listen and apply, do what is right, seek wisdom, exercise prudence, think about the future, work diligently, choose your friends wisely, speak life, tell the truth, reject ego and pride, and be generous.Because ego, pride, and strife often show up together—and they can keep us from doing the work we were actually called to do.You can strive all you want, but God alone brings the peace. No wisdom, insight, or plan can ultimately succeed against the Lord.So if you're feeling tired, weary, stressed, distracted, overwhelmed, or frustrated by someone else's progress, maybe you don't need a new plan.Maybe you need to get back to working your land.Your assignment is your assignment.Your timing is your timing.Your lane is your lane.And sometimes the greatest Inchstone isn't doing more.It's simply getting back to the work that's yours to do.Watch, listen, and take your next small step.Work your land. Trust God's timing. Stay in your lane.#WorkYourLand #Proverbs21 #ChristianLeadership #BiblicalWisdom #GodsPlan #GodsTiming #Purpose #Diligence #Leadership #StopComparing #StayInYourLane #Faith #Wisdom #Inchstones #TheVIBEwithKellyCardenas
Joaquim Harris is a Cabrillo High School Class of 1989 graduate, former professional basketball player in Europe, and longtime varsity football and girls basketball coach whose extraordinary life journey includes surviving kidney disease and receiving a kidney transplant. In this powerful episode of The VIBE with Kelly Cardenas, Kelly reconnects with an old friend and honors a man whose story is a testament to resilience, perseverance, leadership, and the power of never giving up.Some people leave an impression on you long before you realize just how meaningful their story will become.I went to school with Joaquim Harris. I was good friends with his little brother. We shared a chapter of life before any of us could have known where that journey would lead.Decades later, sitting across from Joaquim, I wasn't just sitting with an athlete, coach, or former classmate.I was sitting with a survivor.Joaquim graduated from Cabrillo High School in 1989, went on to play professional basketball in Europe, and eventually devoted more than two decades to coaching young athletes through varsity football and girls basketball.But his greatest victory didn't come under the lights.It came when life put him in a fight he never asked for.Joaquim became a kidney disease survivor and kidney transplant recipient—and somehow, through everything he faced, he continued to show up, lead, coach, serve, and pour into the next generation.That is what makes this story so powerful.Because championships fade.Statistics disappear.Seasons end.But character remains.Joaquim Harris represents something bigger than sports. He represents the kind of person who keeps showing up when life gets hard. The kind of leader who understands that success isn't measured only by what you accomplish, but by the lives you impact along the way.His story is about resilience, sacrifice, friendship, family, coaching, leadership, adversity, survival, and legacy.And maybe that's the greatest lesson of all:Sometimes the most important game you're ever going to play isn't the one on the field. It's the one for your life.This is Joaquim Harris.A Cabrillo graduate.A former professional basketball player.A coach.A mentor.A survivor.And, most importantly, a man whose life is still making an impact.I am honored to share his story.If this conversation moves you, share it with somebody who needs to be reminded that the hardest chapter of their life does not have to be the final chapter.

What happens when four professionals in the design industry meet by chance, become fast friends, and decide to use their collective talents to give back? Meet the Design Besties: Nikki Watson, Lori Johnson, Robin DelaCruz, and Whitney Atkinson. What started with a chance meeting at the Vacation Rental Design Summit quickly turned into a daily group text, a genuine friendship, and eventually a nonprofit with a big mission: transforming teachers' lounges into beautiful, restorative spaces that give educators a place to recharge. In this episode, Michelle sits down with the four creatives behind the Design Besties to talk about how their friendship came together, what makes their collaboration work so well, and why they believe there is always room at the table. They share the story behind their first teachers' lounge makeover, the emotional response from the teachers, and how that experience turned a passion project into a national mission. The Design Besties are now working toward bringing their work to all 50 states. In this episode, you'll hear about: How four professionals from different areas of the design industry became the Design Besties The unexpected project that inspired them to create their nonprofit Why teachers' lounges became the focus of their service work How each Bestie brings a different strength to the team What makes their collaboration work without ego or competition The importance of creating welcoming spaces and making sure there's always room at the table How they're working to scale the Design Besties nationally The power of using your professional skills to serve others Why adult friendship and genuine community can be such a gift How designers and brands can get involved through donations, sponsorships, volunteering, and spreading the word Meet the Design Besties (full bios below) Rhobin DelaCruz Interior designer.

Cheryl has spent 25 years building systems around the way her design firm actually works. So what happens when AI suddenly gives her the ability to build the software around those systems, too?In this episode, Cheryl shares what happened when one irritating business problem turned into building her own app through “vibe coding,” what she's learned along the way, and why knowing your processes matters more than knowing how to code. AI can help you build almost anything, but it will also happily automate a bad process.Have a question--click here to ask us.Loved this episode?

HR3 - Matt Ryan, Kevin Stefanski & Ian Cunningham have brought different vibe to Falcons In hour three Mike, Ali and Beau explain why they think the Atlanta Falcons under new Head Coach Kevin Stefanski have had more of a blue collar approach to training camp and practices, talk about how the Falcons will have to balance getting James Pearce Jr. his reps before his suspension takes effect while also getting reps for the guys who are going to replace him as well, continue to react to the news that veteran pass rusher Za'Darius Smith, who has been expected to sign with the Cleveland Browns, has reportedly worked out for the Atlanta Falcons, continue to recap and react to the Atlanta Braves losing to the Minnesota Twins last night 4-2 in Minnesota in game one of their three game series, talk about how the Braves will only be judged by what they do in playoffs, continue to react to the Associated Press putting out their preseason Top 25 college football rankings, talk about what they learned during the show in ‘The More You Know', and then close out hour three by answering people's questions about anything in the Morning Mailbag!

Young MCThe Man Behind the Music That Made the World Bust a MoveSome songs become hits. Some songs become memories.And then there are songs that become part of the language.“Bust A Move” is one of them.Listen to the new single "I'm on one"In this episode of The VIBE with Kelly Cardenas, we honor Young MC — Marvin Young — a Grammy-winning, multi-platinum artist, songwriter, performer, and genuine pioneer of hip-hop whose music helped bring rap into the center of popular culture.In 1990, Young MC made history when “Bust A Move” won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance, becoming one of the defining songs of hip-hop's golden era. The track reached No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 and remained on the chart for 40 weeks. His debut album, Stone Cold Rhymin', became a platinum success.But Young MC's legacy goes far beyond one legendary song.Before stepping into the spotlight himself, he co-wrote “Wild Thing” and “Funky Cold Medina” for Tone Lōc — two songs that helped define the sound of late-1980s hip-hop and its crossover into mainstream music.He was also a USC economics graduate who somehow went from writing rhymes between college assignments to becoming one of the most recognizable voices in hip-hop. And yes, the story of how Bust A Move came together is almost as remarkable as the song itself.For anyone who grew up with “Bust A Move,” “Principal's Office,” “I Come Off,” “Know How,” or the sound of late-'80s and early-'90s hip-hop playing through the speakers, this is more than a conversation with an artist.It is a celebration of a soundtrack to a generation.Young MC helped prove that hip-hop could be clever, funny, intelligent, infectious, commercially successful — and still unmistakably authentic.More than three decades later, Bust A Move continues to appear in movies, television, playlists, parties, sporting events and across generations. That kind of staying power isn't nostalgia.That's legacy.
Ben and Andrew begin with Nvidia's announcements of a new funding model for AI infrastructure, including the differences and similarities with railroad expansion 150 years ago, why LLMs were a gift and curse to Nvidia's business, the pressure on Nvidia coming from Google and Amazon, and the expanded blast radius as Nvidia works to mobilize third party funding. From there: Why the turnover at Google may actually be a good sign for Google's frontier efforts, and extended thoughts the future of AI-generated output, ideas and substantiation, and Anthropic's plan to watermark outputs. At the end: A question about the Vision Pro, the obstacles for Starlink Mobile, and a cranky emailer yields a clarifying answer on why Ben is excited about his vibe coded app.

This week I'm joined by DJ Melo D — a beat junkie, a world champion, and one of the most technically gifted scratch DJs to come out of Southern California. Melo D was born and raised in Cerritos in the early 1980s, right as hip hop and electro were landing on the West Coast, and he grew up hooked on KDAY airchecks, pause-button mixtapes and a friend's older brother's turntables. He got his first Technics 1200 for Christmas 1987, taught himself to scratch by ear on his dad's home stereo, and cut his teeth doing high school dances and quinceañeras as a mobile DJ before linking up with DJ Curse, Rhett Matic and J Rock — the crew that would become the Beat Junkies.While studying sociology at UC Irvine, Melo D was quietly stacking up battle titles: a Vestax USA and World Championship, a DMC USA final with Babu, and an ITF World Championship with the Beat Junkies crew. That same run of form landed him a job as Quincy Jones' on-air DJ for the late-night talk show Vibe — a gig he says he only got because he had the nerve to force a James Brown routine on Quincy after his first set of battle routines fell flat. Alongside years on LA radio with Julio G at 92.3 The Beat, Melo D went on to co-found the Beat Junkie Institute of Sound with his crew, where he still teaches today.We get properly nerdy in this one — the maths behind scratch technique, why J Dilla's swing breaks DJs, how the crab scratch was actually born in a Tokyo hotel room, and what it's like being handed a job by Quincy Jones on the spot.In this episode we cover:Growing up in Cerritos during the first wave of West Coast hip hop and electroThe KDAY Mixmasters and the birth of the West Coast mix showGetting his first Technics 1200 for Christmas 1987 and teaching himself to scratchMobile DJing quinceañeras, high school dances and SoCal house partiesLinking up with DJ Curse, Rhett Matic and J Rock and forming the Beat JunkiesBalancing a sociology degree with Vestax, DMC and ITF world titlesThe golden era of turntableism and why vinyl forced so much creativityThe origin story of the crab scratch, told first-handBecoming Quincy Jones' DJ for the Vibe talk showBuilding the Beat Junkie Institute of Sound and what's hardest to teach beginnersThe vinyl renaissance and the case for BPM-labelling your records
A senior's first solo drive, a dog with the cone of shame, and a wildly unnecessary amount of confidence in one man's horn-honking skills - JB and Sandy turn a morning show into a hilarious, oddly heartfelt ride.If you need a laugh, a little parent anxiety, and a reminder that some milestones hit harder than others, this one delivers. Sandy, JB, and Tricia trade stories about Sandy and Tricia's daughter Landry's first drive to school, the emotional spiral of senior year, and the kind of dad behavior that kicks in when your daughter suddenly needs car washes, gas, and emotional support on demand.You'll also hear the trio go off on everything from a classic Napoleon Dynamite Letterman clip to Boerne Little League's path to the Little League World Series, including the age controversy that sent the whole thing to court. And if you're into pop-culture moments, there is a fun detour into surprise celebrity appearances, from Ella Langley in St. Thomas to artists like Train and Bon Jovi showing up unannounced to sing with fans.Then Sandy reveals the behind-the-scenes obsession that's got everyone teasing him: vibe coding and AI automation. He explains how he's using AI to build practical tools, like organizing photos and automating everyday tasks, while JB and Tricia roast him for sounding a little too much like a coder with no coding background at all. Perfect for listeners who love local radio chemistry, funny family stories, and a few genuinely useful takeaways buried inside the chaos. It is smart, silly, and full of the kind of banter that makes you feel like you're hanging out in the room.
Alice Keeler built the Educator AI Assistant — a Google Sheets add-on that collects no data — in two days. In this episode she talks about how she vibe codes with Gemini to create extensions and tools for teachers and the classroom. Vibe coding is all the rage and everyone is talking about it. But how do you actually do it? This conversation goes specifically to Gemini, surfaces the privacy issues we should be concerned about, and casts a vision for what school IT departments are becoming — or might need to become. Alice makes the case that if a district can describe the tool it needs, someone inside that district can build it — and know it is safe, because they made it themselves. She also talks about what it costs to own the thing you built, and the question worth asking about any tool you rely on: is anyone still maintaining it? This was recorded in the middle of last year. The tools have changed and they will keep changing. The principles underneath — how we protect student privacy and help our schools succeed — have not. Full show notes, Alice's free resources, and a Gemini prompt you can use tomorrow: https://www.coolcatteacher.com/e966 If you're vibe coding in your classroom, I'd like to hear your story.
Raveesh Dewan is the President and CEO of Joget Inc., a technology company that provides an open, AI-powered low-code platform for building, automating, and integrating enterprise applications. Under his leadership, Joget has continued to expand as a global enterprise platform used by Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, and organizations across more than 100 countries. Before joining Joget, Raveesh held executive roles at CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, helping shape its business and technology roadmaps. His work centers on digital transformation, open innovation, and responsible enterprise AI adoption. In this episode… Organizations face a critical challenge: modernizing legacy systems without sacrificing speed, security, or flexibility. As AI transforms enterprise software development, how can businesses accelerate digital transformation while staying in control? For Raveesh Dewan, an engineer, open-source advocate, and enterprise technology leader, the answer lies in combining low-code development with AI while keeping organizations in control of their technology. He highlights that simply automating inefficient processes only creates faster inefficiencies, making process improvement just as important as automation. From helping a telecommunications company replace a legacy ERP system in under nine months to enabling a hospice to digitize patient records and improve patient care, he demonstrates how visual application development can solve complex business challenges. Raveesh also explains the rise of "vibe composition," the advantages of open-source platforms, and how reusable applications help organizations innovate more quickly without sacrificing governance or scalability. In this episode of the Inspired Insider Podcast, host Dr. Jeremy Weisz sits down with Raveesh Dewan, President and CEO of Joget Inc., to discuss building AI-powered enterprise application platforms. They explore how to avoid the pitfalls of automating broken processes, replace legacy ERP systems with low-code solutions, and use AI-driven visual app composition to accelerate innovation.

Michigan's Growing Pains bred and grew the Banana Taffy, entered it last minute, and beat every California grower in the Proper Smoke League.Tom and Seth of Growing Pains came up through Michigan basements, illegal caregiver traps, and the gray market years before a single license existed in the state. They built a 300-light indoor operation, bred their own genetics, and then flew to California and won. This is the full story.In this episode, JP sits down with the Proper Smoke League champions to unpack what it actually took to get here. They break down why the Banana Taffy nearly did not get entered, how harvest timing and their in-house dueling process shaped a Michigan craft cannabis operation that now competes with the best growers in the country, and what separates a craft cultivator from a production farmer in the current market. If you have ever wondered how Michigan cannabis growers stack up against California, you will have your answer by the end of the first hour.Tom tells the real GMO origin story on record for the first time: three Chem Cookies seeds popped by his buddy Billy in a Michigan basement, the corn-stalk structure that gave it the name, and why Ann Arbor dispensaries refused to sell anything called GMO and renamed it Garlic Cookies. They also get into the Motorbreath 15 history, the genetics game-changer moment that shifted Seth's entire growing approach, and what the cannabis industry loses when people consume the product wrong. This episode covers the craft, the business, and the culture that built Growing Pains from the ground up.Good PizzZa documents real cannabis culture, the growers, the breeders, the legacy operators, and the stories that do not get told anywhere else.

Anyone can build an app now. The real question is whether it survives you.Vibe coding in 2026 isn't what it was two years ago — the tools got better, but the problems didn't go away. Josh and Will dig into what it actually takes to build AI-assisted tools that last: scope creep, handover, documentation, security, and the eight hours you have to justify to your boss. Will walks through his architecture-first approach on a long-term API project — building a coding agent before writing code, mapping 26 variables, and splitting one 3,000-line script into modular flows. Then he demos AcroText, the Chrome extension he vibe coded to replace Text Blaze, and what building it accidentally taught him about where your data really goes.Whether you're a total beginner or already shipping little tools for your team, you'll leave knowing where to start and what to plan for.--♣️Want to become a HiTech Club member, support the pod, and get all of the extras on our episodes?

We've spent the last month vibe coding our own corners of the internet. The Verge's Jake Kastrenakes and Hayden Field join David to talk about their use of Gemini, Codex, and Claude Code to build 90s-themed personal websites, vegetable-sharing systems, and photo boards. It wasn't always easy, and we didn't get everything done, but with a little AI and a lot of prompting, we made it work.

Three weeks into “Married At First Sight,” the couples really start to settle into their marriages. Some of them take the plunge into sexual intimacy, while others are still tinkering with basic communication. Nikki and Shawn practice using “I” statements and relinquishing power. Caitlin finally dims Devin's light to an acceptable soft glow, while he lovingly compares her to a frozen lake. Courteney's hatred for Nick deepens by the hours, as is his determination to pretend it's fine. Marissa has effortlessly melted her life into Adam's jetskiing, peacocking, thrift-shopping vibe, and they have no plans other than to just keep vibing it out, full send. After some couples counseling and a group dinner, spied on by Paul and Dr. Lisa, the experts arrive to the first group therapy session ready to call everyone out – especially Adam and Mecca. But given some of these bizarre pairings, they may need to be called out just as much as any of the newlyweds.
