A rant fueled by fake hair and GLP-1s spirals into Wells creating a new rule: if you're getting ripped, you're cheating on your wife. Period!Your favorite hosts had quite the week, from Wells' potential $12,000 emergency vet bill to Brandi's stinky garbage from Noah's Cracker Barrel leftovers. Wells questions Brandi's donkey collection, falls in love with the Walmart goat lady, and reminisces about the drunk cigarette days. Their favorites list this week may be small, but their tangents are unhinged. Wells and Brandi split hard on the new Green Lantern show, and Brandi advocates for wild horses.

Liz Peek, columnist for The Hill and Fox News, discusses the surprising resilience of the American economy, noting that small businesses are reporting strong hiring and profitability growth based on broad National Federation of Independent Business and Bank of America data. While consumer spending remains robust, recent data reveals a K-shaped economy, where higher-income homeowners spend extensively on renovations while lower-income consumers trade down at Walmart. Rising interest rates present a critical challenge, slamming the housing market and significantly increasing interest payments on the massive national debt. Lastly, the administration's tariff conflict with Canada is criticized as a major, highly unfortunate, and economically damaging political mistake. (1)

CONTENTS THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 8-25-2026COVER OF FANTASTIC MAGAZINE OCTOBER 1961Liz Peek, columnist for The Hill and Fox News, discusses the surprising resilience of the American economy, noting that small businesses are reporting strong hiring and profitability growth based on broad National Federation of Independent Business and Bank of America data. While consumer spending remains robust, recent data reveals a K-shaped economy, where higher-income homeowners spend extensively on renovations while lower-income consumers trade down at Walmart. Rising interest rates present a critical challenge, slamming the housing market and significantly increasing interest payments on the massive national debt. Lastly, the administration's tariff conflict with Canada is criticized as a major, highly unfortunate, and economically damaging political mistake. (1)Jonathan Schanzer, Executive Director of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, evaluates the Treasury's initial tranches of secondary sanctions targeting entities trading with Iran, including firms in China and the UAE. Although these measures stop short of targeting major Chinese banks, they provide President Trump with leverage ahead of his Washington summit with Xi Jinping. Within the Middle East, Schanzer warns that regional powers are hedging their bets. Saudi Arabia may be negotiating a separate peace with the Houthis and Iran, which could undermine US sanctions. Additionally, the US controversially rescinded Syria's state sponsor of terror status following the rapid rise of former al-Qaeda commander Ahmed al-Shara. (2)Mary Kissel, Senior Fellow at the Hudson Institute and former Senior Advisor to the Secretary of State, analyzes Trump's "maximum pressure" campaign against Iran, asserting that its success relies on penalizing large Chinesefinancial institutions. However, Beijing holds significant economic and military leverage over the US, including export controls on critical minerals. Regarding North America, Kissel describes the escalating trade war with Canada as a "loser's game" driven by domestic politics. She stresses that the 50% tariffs on essential materials like Canadianaluminum and auto parts disrupt deeply integrated supply chains. Consequently, this trade conflict severely harms ordinary consumers and threatens Republican control of key Senate seats in critical border states of Maine and Michigan. (3)Colonel Jeff McCausland, US Army (Retired) and Visiting Professor at Dickinson College, warns that the US foreign policy process has collapsed under President Trump, who relies on personal loyalty over expert advice. This is illustrated by Trump's sudden decision to reduce joint US-South Korea military exercises without notifying allies. McCausland argues this undercuts South Korea while offering concessions to a nuclear-armed dictator, Kim Jong-un, who actively supplies weapons to Russia for the Ukraine war. Furthermore, he criticizes the "economic D-Day" against Iran as highly insincere given key delays in sanctioning China, and strongly condemns the trade war against Canada, a loyal ally with a rich military history. (4)Gregory Copley, editor of Defense & Foreign Affairs, argues that the US sanctions regime against Iran is strategic signaling that makes Washington look weak, as it ignores China's trade dominance and threatens relations with India. He also views the Canadian trade dispute as a strategic failure that weakens the NORAD treaty and forces Canada to act independently in the Arctic. This unpredictability has alienated European allies, who are now bypassing the US to negotiate directly on Ukraine. Additionally, Copley analyzes post-Petro Colombia, detailing how the energetic new president faces massive domestic security issues, narco-trafficking networks, and the grounding of critical disaster relief aircraft under sanctions. (5)Thaddeus McCotter, former US Representative from Michigan and columnist for American Greatness, details the severe political and economic fallout of Trump's trade war with Canada, noting that insulting rhetoric like the "51st state" remark has politically boosted Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. He explains that border states like Michigan and Maine share deep commercial integration, meaning 50% tariffs will directly harm their local economies. This unvetted policy blindsided senior Republican legislators, including Susan Collins, who openly opposed the tariffs and avoided a campaign rally with Vice President Vance. Ultimately, McCotter warns that these tariffs jeopardize critical Senate seats in highly contested swing states, giving rival Democrats a very major campaign advantage. (6)Judy Dempsey, Senior Scholar in Berlin for the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, with co-host Thaddeus McCotter: Dempsey describes European Baltic and Nordic leaders flocking to Kyiv, yet warns that "moral outrage" lacks a cohesive strategic plan to negotiate an end to the war. She highlights the rising prominence of the pro-Russian, far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party in state elections. Interestingly, an ideological rift has emerged as radical AfD factions in East Germany sour on MAGA due to Trump's policies on Iran. McCotter delivers a severe critique of the MAGA-AfD relationship, arguing MAGA should never have "played footsies" with neo-Nazis, and asserting the AfD is fundamentally aligned with Vladimir Putin rather than the United States—their temporary embrace of MAGA merely a superficial attraction. Although West Germans have abandoned historical sentiments toward Russiadue to the Ukraine invasion, East Germany remains deeply split, harboring lingering sentimental pro-Russian views and separate post-unification cultural dynamics. (7)Note: segment 7 came with a separate co-host block for McCotter, so I've folded his critique into the single paragraph after Dempsey's material — flag me if you'd rather run his commentary as its own standalone file.

The four-stall site uses ABB Mobility all-in-one dispensers delivering up to 400 kW with NACS and CCS1 connectors and app-only payment, part of a rollout that added 612 stalls in the first half of 2026 and ranked second only to Tesla for new ports energised in Q2, at an average $0.43 per kWh with 10% off for Walmart+ members.HYUNDAI OPENS IONIQ V PRE-SALES IN CHINABeijing Hyundai has begun pre-sales of the Ioniq V at the 2026 Chengdu Auto Show ahead of a September launch, priced from 119,900 yuan (about $17,300) to 139,900 yuan across three versions, with up to 650 km of CLTC range, an 800-volt E-GMP architecture, CATL LFP batteries of 53.5 or 66.8 kWh and single motors of 140 or 168 kW. It is the first production Ioniq developed in China, using a 27-inch 4K Snapdragon 8295 screen, Momenta highway L2+ assistance and Baidu and ByteDance AI infotainment, as Hyundai targets 20 electrified models and 500,000 annual Chinese sales by 2030.POLESTAR CLAIMS UNEQUAL US TREATMENTPolestar has accused the US Commerce Department of "disparate treatment" after a June 24 denial blocked its American sales from model year 2027, noting that Volvo — which shares Chinese majority owner Geely and builds the Polestar 3 on the same South Carolina line — was authorised earlier in 2026. In an Aug. 18 letter, Peter Wexler said the 13-month review dismissed mitigation offers including audits, cybersecurity reviews and removal of China links from data management, despite officials indicating in January and April that approval was likely; dealers have called the outcome devastating, with a New Jersey group suing for $25 million over an allegedly concealed US withdrawal.DUTCH PLUG-IN MARKET FAVOURS RICH HOUSEHOLDSStatistics agency CBS found that the Netherlands' shift to electric cars has mainly benefited wealthy households, with the top-earning 10% buying almost 75,000 of the roughly 259,000 electric and plug-in hybrid cars traded in 2025 and the top 20% accounting for nearly half. The lowest-earning 10% bought about 6,000, or 2%, and two-thirds of cars bought by the poorest fifth were over a decade old, prompting a €52 million, three-year subsidy scheme from the final quarter of 2026 for lower- and middle-income buyers of second-hand EVs who scrap older petrol or diesel vehicles.MERCEDES CLA ELECTRIC COVERS 385 MILES AT 70 MPHThe dual-motor 2027 Mercedes-Benz CLA 350 4MATIC Electric covered 385 miles in a constant-speed 70 mph range test on 19-inch wheels, exceeding its 312-mile EPA Combined rating by 73 miles, or 23%, with 2 miles remaining at 0% charge. Consumption of 225 Wh per mile implied 86.6 kWh used against an 85-kWh net battery, with the result credited to the 800-volt Mercedes Modular Architecture and a two-speed rear-motor transmission of the type that has also helped Porsche and Audi models beat their ratings.OPEL SETS 2028 DATE FOR ELECTRIC CORSAOpel CEO Florian Huettl has pushed the all-electric Corsa successor from 2027 to 2028, moving the brand's best-seller onto Stellantis' STLA Small platform as a battery-electric-only model with bigger batteries, more range and prices from €25,000, against the current e-CMP Corsa Electric's 46-49 kWh battery, 429 km claim and €30,440 starting price. Huettl cited improving range, charging and fuel costs rather than any fixed date to end combustion engines, and Opel will still deliver the e-CMP-based Corsa GSE, capable of 0-100 kph in 5.5 seconds, to dealers this year.ROME BACKS ELECTRIC AND HYDROGEN BUSESRome will spend €117 million from Italy's infrastructure ministry on new buses through operator ATAC, split between €83.6 million for hydrogen models and €27.1 million for battery-electric ones plus depot upgrades, though neither quantities nor manufacturers have been named. A further €6 million in European funding will build a green hydrogen hub using local electrolysis at ATAC's Acilia site, complementing a charge introduced in July 2026 for EVs entering a restricted central zone that takes about 50,000 cars a day against a designed capacity of 20,000.SUZUKI PLANS VISION E-SKY EUROPE EXPORTSuzuki intends to export its Vision e-Sky electric microcar from Japan, with Europe possible in 2027 and the UK and Italy under review at an expected UK price below £20,000, ahead of a Japanese world premiere in autumn and production at a plant southwest of Tokyo. Based on Japan's kei-car class and targeting 310 km of range with likely LFP cells from BYD's corporate network, it would be Suzuki's first battery-electric kei car and reportedly the first exported almost unchanged, offering growth potential after European sales fell 15% to 187,000 in the year to March.MEXICO ELECTRIFIED SALES RISE AS PRODUCTION FALLSMexico sold 95,037 electrified vehicles in the first half of 2026, up 44% year on year for a 12.6% market share, led by Toyota in conventional hybrids and boosted by expanding Chinese brands, while charging points reached 60,934 and 170 electrified models are now offered. Production moved the other way, falling to 47,411 units from 110,002 a year earlier as weaker US demand cut Equinox output by 81.6% and Blazer output by 80%, prompting the Electro Mobility Association to call for policies supporting both electrification and domestic manufacturing.ELECTRIC MOTORHOME USES EVOLVE PLATFORMCityFreighter, Vöhringer and Motive Development have unveiled an electric motorhome demonstrator for Europe's 4.25-tonne Class B category, built on CityFreighter's Evolve skateboard with a Vöhringer AIRPLY lightweight interior and coming in under 3.5 tonnes complete with kitchen, bathroom and heat pump, leaving about 750 kg of payload. Its 128-kWh battery gives roughly 400 km of range, supports vehicle-to-load and charges from 10-80% in about 20 minutes at up to 200 kW, while independent battery replacement and upgrades are pitched as protecting residual value in vehicles that often stay in service for decades.

Kate Bradley Chernis spent over a decade figuring out how to use sound to make strangers feel like friends. At Sirius/XM, she was building 200-layer audio files for 30-second commercials. Next, she was infusing radio theory into a generative AI platform before most people knew what generative AI was. Now at Backline EQ, she's using the same instinct, that sound tells you things a transcript never could, to engineer human connection at scale. This conversation covers all of it: the neuroscience, the pivots, and the parts of the journey she rarely shares out loud.In this episode:The theater of the mind and why it's the foundation of trust: when your brain constructs the story rather than receiving it passively, it taps into nostalgia, memory, and emotion — the three keystones of why we buy, connect, and believeWhy your eyes lie but your ears don't — Kate's case that sound is the most honest and hardest-to-trick human sense, and what that means for AI tools that rely entirely on transcriptsThe "rules of radio" Kate embedded into Lately's AI — word choices like "remember" versus "don't forget" that trigger different emotional responses, drawn from her training in the neuroscience of music and parasocial connectionHow Backline EQ outperformed the Microsoft/IBM/Google industry-standard language model (MFCC) by 70% in measuring team fit — using voice patterns alone, without transcriptionKate's vulnerable disclosure about a difficult period in her life after eleven years building a company and how her mother's reminder that she was a prodigy at six became the unexpected anchor that helped her begin againThe investor who finally told her to stop inventing something new and just make existing technology better and how that single pivot made everything easier for the first time in over a decadeContent Warning: This episode includes a brief discussion of suicidal ideation.

They can lie to you, but sound doesn't.” - Kate Bradley Chernis“Often people will focus so much on their life condition rather than, "No, I'm here for a reason. I just need to maybe alter the blueprint." That doesn't mean lower your expectations, it just may mean shift your standards. Shift the way you're gonna get there, timeline, trajectory.” - Dwayne Kerrigan“You have to start measuring. You have to start collecting data.” - Kate Bradley Chernis“I can make people I can't see feel like they belong. It's more than that. I can make you feel like with a conversation that is either as powerful or more powerful than if we were eye to eye in real life. That's how transcendent sound is. There's a magic there that is, well, it's magical. It's fantastical.” - Kate Bradley Chernis“Entrepreneurship's f***ing hard. This is a gladiator sport. And there is no substitute for the constant and never-ending courage that you need to have inside this, this arena.” - Dwayne KerriganAbout Kate Bradley Chernis:Kate Bradley Chernis is an early Generative AI visionary who co-founded the first closed-data, proprietary machine learning and natural language processing platform in 2014. She is the co-founder and CEO of the Backline Network, which uses curated audio-only salons to capture real-time conversational dynamics and convert them into AI that predicts and engineers group chemistry at scale. Before her career in AI, Kate spent over a decade as a rock 'n' roll radio DJ, serving 20 million listeners daily as Music Director and on-air host at Sirius/XM.

Global retail media expansion hinges on balancing localized AI-generated creative with brand integrity. In this episode of the Global Lens podcast series, host Lavina Suthenthiran speaks with Nishanth Kadiyala (Walmart Connect) about how Walmart built an automated creative generation system handling nearly $1 billion in ad spend and how to scale generative AI across international borders. INSIDE THE EPISODE: - Creative was retail media's last automation holdout. While ad tech automated targeting, bidding, and attribution in seconds, creative production traditionally took weeks of manual reviews across designers, researchers, and policy checkers. This bottleneck is critical to solve as the IAB 2026 Outlook study projects commerce media spend to grow 12.1% this year, with two-thirds of buyers prioritizing agentic AI for campaign execution. - Scaling AI creative requires a non-negotiable rubric. To manage brand risk across endless product catalogs, Walmart aligned stakeholders around four core evaluation pillars: product truth, compliance and policy, brand voice, and visual aesthetics. - Rollouts must be sequenced by brand sophistication. Walmart launched its automated tool with long-tail marketplace sellers who prioritize raw performance first, using that volume to build its evaluation engine before expanding to mid-market brands and eventual Fortune 50 CPGs with strict national campaign guidelines. - Tech infrastructure travels across borders, but cultural nuance requires local expertise. When expanding its creative AI tools from the US to Mexico, Walmart found that 80% of the underlying tech guardrails transferred directly. However, because US consumer habits do not automatically generalize, the team trained local subject-matter experts to teach the AI regional language, culture, and shopper preferences. Listen above to learn how Walmart Connect built its automated creative generation system, how to manage AI-driven brand risk, and what retailers need in place before scaling generative AI globally.

Summer is basically over, the kids are back in school, and some of them returned home looking like they'd just completed a six-month combat deployment instead of one day of algebra. Naturally, that sends The Rizzuto Show down memory lane to discuss suspiciously easy senior-year schedules, bowling classes, walking classes, movie classes, and the beautiful teenage realization that maybe calculus simply isn't going to be part of your personal journey.NFL chaos with the story of 49ers owner Jed York and an alleged prostitution sting in East Palestine, Ohio. The crew tries to understand how a man connected to billions of dollars somehow ends up at the center of a $140 Sunday-morning situation in a mobile home community.A workplace prank involving heavy machinery that ended in tragedy. That leads into a rundown of some of the deadliest jobs in America, including logging, commercial fishing, roofing, steel work, trash collection, aviation, mining, construction, and landscaping. Suddenly sitting in a radio studio complaining about the air conditioning doesn't seem quite as heroic.And because The Rizzuto Show can never stay on one subject for more than the medically recommended amount of time, Fujifilm sends everybody tumbling into a conversation about words that instantly reveal your age. “Videotape.” “Pocketbook.” “Slacks.” “Icebox.” “Billfold.” “Filling station.” “Supper.” Welcome to the portion of the show where everyone discovers they're approximately 900 years old.Then it's time to discuss the upcoming iPhone and whether spending around $1,200 on another rectangle that looks suspiciously like your current rectangle is still exciting. The show heads Back in the Day for anniversaries involving The Wizard of Oz, Bruce Springsteen's Born to Run, Boston's legendary debut album, Lauryn Hill, Aaliyah and more.ZZ Top plays its first show following the death of drummer Frank Beard, the crew attempts to demonstrate its vast knowledge of Quando Rondo, Ella Langley continues her monster chart run with “Choosing Texas,” and Miranda Lambert enters the conversation thanks to a songwriting story involving a kangaroo. Because sure.The Terminator 2 cast reunion also gets reviewed with all the tact and restraint you've come to expect from this comedy podcast. Edward Furlong gets some love, everybody realizes he was only 13 while filming the movie, and Rafe delivers the completely unnecessary observation that the reunion photo looks like “the future they were trying to prevent.”Then the show turns to a frightening story out of Columbia, Missouri, where a 21-year-old former Mizzou student suffered severe injuries after falling from the rooftop area at Harpo's. The crew talks about what was known about the accident, the young man's condition, and their own experiences with Columbia's downtown, the Blue Note, Shakespeare's, old venues, King Scott's favorite Wal Mart and the college-town scene. It's a genuinely awful situation, and everybody's hoping the kid pulls through.And then Simpleton Trivia arrives to destroy everybody's self-esteem.The premise sounds insultingly easy: answer 10 common-knowledge questions in 45 seconds. Get one wrong and you're immediately done. Callers can either take the challenge themselves for two pairs of tickets or put their faith in somebody from The Rizzuto Show and bet on—or against—them.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.49ers owner Jed York pleads no contest to two misdemeanor charges in OhioMan crushed coworker's head while 'f---ing around' with tree-trimming machineryOne seemingly ordinary job has gotten much more deadly over the past 10 years, federal data showsFrench visitor dies in Death Valley National Park after becoming stranded on remote roadMount Fuji hiker leaves tired son, 7, behind to reach iconic summit: ‘Wait here'Former Chillicothe football player in critical condition after fall from Harpo's rooftop barSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It may be a nervous system stuck in stress, quietly draining your sleep, your recovery, and your long-term health.In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with Dr. Kristen Holmes to discuss:Why the hallmarks of aging- inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, cellular decline may be symptoms of a dysregulated autonomic nervous system, and how much of your HRV (47–65%) is genetic versus trainableHow your sleep is decided during the day, not at night, and why perceiving your day as "threatening" keeps your HRV suppressed and robs you of deep, restorative sleepThe circadian "amplitude" formula for bright days and dark nights that predicts everything from menopause symptom severity to longevity, plus the ~90 minutes of natural light almost no one getsWhy late-night eating rivals alcohol for damaging your resting physiology, and how a simple 12-hour eating window gets you most of the way thereWhy the fittest people sleep less, and how all-day movement and "exercise snacks" beat a single gym blockWhen you understand that your nervous system sits underneath your sleep, energy, and pace of aging, you stop chasing fragmented fixes and start pulling the few daily levers light, movement, meal timing, consistency that move the needle.Studies & ReferencesStress and Heart Rate Variability: A Meta-Analysis and Review of the Literature — https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5900369/How to Improve Your Circadian Rhythm with Satchin Panda PhD: https://youtu.be/gM_b4t0ARG8?si=QKfpYEAh1O5lyMw8Want ad-free episodes?

TikTok Shop does far more than generate in-app sales; it can also drive millions of impressions that boost revenue across Amazon, D2C, and physical retail. This social exposure creates real pricing power. SmartScout's alum Michael White leveraged TikTok traction to sell his product for $65, while competitors remained stuck at $45. The data proves this spillover effect. Every million TikTok views can generate $16,000+ in off-platform Amazon revenue, with some brands earning up to $6.70 elsewhere for every dollar made on TikTok. This halo effect breaks down into three buckets: Direct (in-app sales) Indirect (immediate off-platform purchases) Untraceable (long-term brand awareness and word-of-mouth). Even major retailers such as Walmart now actively ask suppliers for their TikTok strategy because social buzz directly drives store foot traffic. Ultimately, winning brands are comfortable breaking even on TikTok Shop knowing the real margin expansion will show up on their Amazon and retail balance sheets.

Walmart beat earnings expectations. Walmart beat revenue expectations. Walmart raised its full-year outlook. And then the stock got CRUSHED! So what happened? In today's episode, we're diving into a great viewer question about Walmart and whether the recent selloff was justified. But to really answer that question, we need to look beyond Walmart's earnings report and ask a much bigger question: Is the American consumer finally starting to crack? Walmart's latest quarter gave Wall Street plenty to think about. U.S. comparable sales grew just 2.6%, the slowest pace in six years and well below expectations. At the same time, the company's e-commerce business grew 24%, earnings beat expectations, and management actually raised its full-year outlook. So why did investors wipe more than $80 billion from Walmart's market value? Because the market isn't simply looking at what Walmart earned yesterday. It's trying to figure out what the consumer will do tomorrow. We'll dig into: Why Walmart fell despite beating earnings expectations The slowdown in comparable-store sales Whether Walmart's valuation had simply gotten too expensive What management's guidance tells us about the months ahead Why higher-income consumers continue migrating toward Walmart What gasoline, food prices and inflation are doing to household budgets Whether the weakness is Walmart-specific—or something much bigger Then we'll zoom out and look at the macro data. July U.S. retail sales declined 0.6% month over month, even though they remained 5% higher than a year earlier. Consumer confidence has also weakened, with Americans becoming increasingly pessimistic about future business conditions and employment. That's where this story gets interesting. Because the consumer isn't necessarily collapsing. There are conflicting signals everywhere. Credit-card spending remains relatively resilient. Walmart continues gaining customers. E-commerce is growing. Yet confidence is deteriorating, retail sales have softened, gasoline prices remain elevated, and consumers are becoming increasingly cautious about the future. So which side should traders believe? The consumer may not be broken—but the cracks are becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. And remember, consumer spending represents roughly two-thirds of U.S. economic activity. If consumers begin pulling back, the impact doesn't stop at Walmart. It can eventually flow through to retail sales → corporate earnings → employment → economic growth → Federal Reserve policy → the stock market. That's why Walmart's 9% selloff deserves a much deeper look than simply saying, "They missed comparable-store sales."

They discuss why fertility can be an important reflection of overall health, how inflammation, endometriosis, PCOS/PMOS, and autoimmune conditions can impact reproductive health, and why women shouldn't have to wait until they're struggling to conceive before they start asking questions.The conversation also breaks down AMH and ovarian reserve, egg freezing, when it makes sense to see a fertility specialist, and what women should know about long-term birth control and fertility. Dr. Crawford shares why getting more information earlier can give women more choices later, and why understanding your own body is one of the most important parts of advocating for your health.Subscribe to SHE MD Podcast for expert tips on PMOS, endometriosis, fertility, hormonal balance, mental health, and more.

The conversation explores how earlier testing can give women more information and more choices.AMH is one piece of the fertility puzzle. Understanding ovarian reserve can help women make more informed decisions about their reproductive timeline and options.Birth control does not appear to cause long-term infertility. Dr. Crawford explains that research has not shown a long-term difference in conception rates after stopping the pill, while noting that hormonal birth control can affect how certain fertility markers are interpreted.You can see a fertility specialist before experiencing infertility. Fertility specialists can help women understand ovarian reserve, discuss egg freezing, and identify potential issues before someone begins trying to conceive.Guest Bio: Dr. Natalie CrawfordDr. Natalie Crawford is a reproductive endocrinologist, fertility specialist, educator, podcast host, and author of The Fertility Formula. After completing her OBGYN residency at Parkland Hospital, she completed a three-year fellowship in reproductive endocrinology and infertility. She now practices at Fora Fertility in Austin, Texas, and has spent more than a decade educating women about fertility and reproductive health.She is also the host of the As A Woman podcast, which has reached millions of downloads, and wrote The Fertility Formula to give women the foundational fertility education she believes they should have much earlier in life.

Amit Chachek spent two decades building award winning visual effects for brands like Walmart and Coke before founding WeR AR, an augmented reality company built to fix the physical retail shelf.His core argument is simple. Retailers know everything about their backroom inventory and everything about the point of sale, but the space in between, the shelf itself, is a blind spot.Amit walks through how WeR AR uses a standard smartphone camera, no robots or fixed shelf cameras required, to let employees detect, verify, and fix shelf issues in real time. He explains the RGIS partnership, how data ownership is split between the platform and the retailer, and why he still believes smart glasses are three to five years from being useful in the enterprise.Listeners get a grounded look at where AI actually helps on the retail floor right now, and where the hype around wearables and robotics still outpaces reality.Website: https://expanio.com/Podcast website: https://expanio.com/commerce-untold-podcast/Eitan Koter's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eitankoter/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@expanioglobalGuest: Amit Chachek, CEO, WeR ARAmit Chachek's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amitchachekWeR AR: https://wer.ioKey Takeaways: • The retail shelf hasn't changed in 100 years, and that gap between backroom and POS data is where retailers are blind • A regular smartphone camera can replace shelf scanning robots and fixed cameras, cutting hardware and ROI headaches • Augmented reality on shelf can cut daily shelf management tasks by fifty to eighty percent • Humans empowered by AR outperform robots because robots can detect problems but cannot execute fixes on the shelf • Vision-language models still can't consistently understand spatial environments from video, which is why smart glasses remain years away from real utility • Winning enterprise retail deals takes one internal champion willing to test in real stores for over a year before wider rolloutChapters:[00:16] Introduction: From VFX to Retail Shelves[01:11] Amit's ADHD Story and the Road to Entrepreneurship[04:20] Leaving Media and Entertainment for Augmented Reality[09:40] How AI Reshaped WeR AR's Roadmap[13:43] Pitching Shelf Intelligence to Store Managers[15:23] Smartphones vs. Shelf Scanning Robots[17:20] The RGIS Partnership and Retail Data Ownership[22:19] Smart Glasses, Qualcomm, and Why Phones Still Win

Danny Nathan and Danny Moses discuss recent Treasury Secretary Bessent comments and plans to increase long-dated Treasury buybacks, arguing the amounts are largely signaling, yields quickly reverted, and the move effectively constrains Fed Chair Warsh ahead of Jackson Hole and a potential September hike. They connect rising yields, debt/deficits, inflation pressures, dollar/yen dynamics, and Bank of Japan policy to higher market volatility, tighter funding conditions, and renewed interest in gold, while noting capital may favor high-grade corporates over Treasuries. They review Walmart's earnings beat but same-store-sales miss and valuation-driven selloff as a consumer and defensives litmus test. Looking ahead, they frame Nvidia, Salesforce, and CrowdStrike earnings as key narrative tests for AI demand, software AI strategy, and cybersecurity, and they flag scrutiny around Carvana's loan sales and potential related-party buyers. —FOLLOW USYouTube: @RiskReversalMediaInstagram: @riskreversalmediaTwitter: @RiskReversalLinkedIn: RiskReversal Media The financial opinions expressed in Risk Reversal content are for information purposes only.

Then Utah County just launched a $2.50 rideshare service called UTA On Demand in fast-growing communities like Eagle Mountain, Lehi and Saratoga Springs. We're also talking back-to-school: how to help your kids make new friends and why one psychologist says you should stop telling kids they can do anything (and what to say instead).

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, happy Monday!! The headline: we FINALLY did some wedding planning (live on the pod..) and we think we may have unlocked something?! You guys know we've been kicking this can down the road (2 under 2 - FORGIVE US), but one little scheduling switch changed everything (iykyk) and now we're officially in planning mode (send us your ATX dueling piano wedding reviews!!) Before all that: the BEST fantasy football punishment we've ever seen (18 holes of golf with strangers.. no clubs, no ball, full commitment to every pretend swing hahaha), Harrison's cooking redemption arc (Alex used to WINCE from across the kitchen.. now he cleans as he goes?!), and an etiquette check from Jules: do you need a hostess gift for a baby shower at someone's house? Plus a question back to Jules: should you serve alcohol at your wedding if YOU don't drink?! (the short answer: it depends).  Then a Babylist It Forward follow up: we bought your gifts!! Thank you for sharing your registries with us, this was genuinely so fun

¿Sientes que el dinero ya no alcanza? No estás solo. En este episodio de Échale con José Quintero, hablamos de por qué cada vez más personas están batallando para pagar la despensa, la situación de Walmart y sus promesas de bajar precios, los cambios en la ayuda de alimentos SNAP y, lo más importante, cómo puedes empezar a invertir aunque solo tengas $50 al mes. Mucha gente piensa que invertir es solo para personas con mucho dinero. La realidad es que empezar con poquito, ser constante y dejar que el tiempo haga su trabajo puede ser más poderoso de lo que imaginas. También hablamos de:

Spirit shut down on May 2 with roughly $8.1 billion in debt and about 17,000 people out of work, and the estate has been selling the pieces since. A court approved 22 LaGuardia slots to JetBlue for $58.5 million in July. Last week's lot was the data. The August 14 notice out of the Southern District of New York itemizes 100 million emails, 500 million Microsoft Teams chats, around 30 million lines of code, pricing from 7.2 billion competitor flights, 7.5 billion passenger transaction records going back to 2008, and more than 175,000 employee records dating to 1986. Google says a third party will scrub personally identifiable data before the handover. Rick thinks $10 million is low, and that the next liquidation will have somebody in the room asking what the internal record is worth.A HarrisX and Allison Worldwide study of 705 teens aged 13 to 16 and 750 parents puts Mom ahead of any platform, creator, or celebrity on which brands Gen Alpha teens end up liking. Dads introduce new brands at 60% against 39% for moms, but moms carry which brands the kid actually likes, 73 to 58. Nike sits first with dads and Walmart first with moms. Any plan that treats parents as a single line item is funding discovery and approval at the same weight when the survey says those are two jobs held by two people.QXO reported $3.25 billion in quarterly sales against $1.91 billion a year ago, with a $55 million net loss and $130 million in adjusted net income. Kodiak Building Partners accounted for about $595 million of the top line. Brad Jacobs told investors he wants $50 billion within a decade. He did not break out organic growth.PayPal traded above $300 a share in 2021 at a market value north of $280 billion. The Wall Street Journal reports that Stripe and private equity firm Advent International approached in July at $60.50 a share, valuing the company near $53 billion. PayPal called the price insufficient and the two sides have been negotiating since.Also this week, the Investor Minute: MUD Jeans files for bankruptcy, Home Depot-owned SRS Distribution moves for Noland Company, and 3 funding announcements.The Watson Weekly is sponsored by Avalara.

Enterprise engineering teams often spend more time triaging recurring incidents than building the features customers are asking for. In this episode, Dave Glick, Senior Vice President of Growth Technology at Walmart, explores how his teams are using AI agents to catch and fix small, recurring issues before they turn into support tickets. The conversation covers the internal tools Walmart built to scale this work, the governance model that keeps experimentation safe, and why closing the distance between engineers and the people using their tools speeds up every iteration. ​ This episode is sponsored by BigPanda.   If you offer AI products or services into the enterprise, you need to find enterprise leaders with relevance, and readiness.   Emerj attracts VP+ enterprise audiences who are already convinced that they need to move beyond traditional IT.   To learn the exact strategies we use to help leading AI brands and startups connect with their ideal enterprise AI buyers, visit: emerj.com/AD1

Dawn opens Monday celebrating her return to the show after a summer getaway to Strathmere and North Carolina, recapping all the fun, food, and family moments before diving headfirst into major local and national headlines. We break down local public safety concerns, including Philadelphia's back-to-school rush, center-city robbery investigations, and a harrowing incident in Georgia where a police officer was dragged over a hundred yards during a Walmart call. The crew also examines law enforcement's implementation of non-lethal shock gloves for ICE officers, debating their practical use, safety benefits, and the mainstream media's ongoing obsession with police gear. Donald Trump's latest news, interest rate updates, and the massive Freedom 250 Grand Prix of Washington, D.C. held along the National Mall. We discuss Melania Trump's featured role at the event to highlight her "Fostering the Future" initiative, providing educational scholarships for young adults aging out of the foster care system. The conversation turns to local heroes as we celebrate Westchester youth athletes going national and preview an upcoming sit-down with Mark Houck regarding religious freedom regulations outside New Jersey medical facilities. Surge Media's Frank Scales and Ian McGinnis join the program for their weekly segment, recounting their wild recent field adventures. Frank details his experience monologuing while launch-tested on a 250-foot slingshot ride at Morey's Piers in Wildwood alongside Ian's dad, Kirk. The guys then dive into their coverage of the Philadelphia Naked Bike Ride, breaking down the public reaction, safety concerns, and why they brought their trademark humor—and a pitch for "Republican Shorts"—to the streets of Philly. Finally, Mary Walter steps in for Dom Giordano to preview her upcoming show on foreign policy progress, young adults' economic perspectives, and high-profile international news.

The most racist storm of all time, according to Justin J. Pearson.

BMW spent a low three-digit million sum on top of nearly €2 billion over five years, though it has not named which models Leipzig will build, as new i3 production began in Munich this month.SPARKCHARGE EXPANDS UK ENERGY NETWORKSparkCharge is bringing its US distributed energy model to the UK, serving autonomous fleets, construction and industrial sites that cannot wait for adequate grid connections. Founded by CEO Joshua Aviv and already operating across North America, the company will combine AI-optimised software, battery storage and on-site generation under new UK managing director James Taylor.FEDERAL PACKAGE TARGETS HEAVY EV BARRIERSAustralia has committed $400 million to heavy-vehicle reforms targeting charging barriers, automated permits, curfews and weight limits, announced by Treasurer Jim Chalmers after a Productivity Commission report found road-freight productivity had stalled for over a decade.
