The fellas are back talking Malachi Toney being the next Tyreek Hill and a future Heisman winner, the absolute madman who put $1.2 MILLION on Texas, and Arch Manning getting after it after the game. The boys also debate LSU vs Ole Miss seeing if Lane Kiffin will make it out alive, whether the Bears are actually going to the Super Bowl, the Giants suddenly being the most fun team in the league, the Raiders beating the Chargers in week 2 and Frank selecting a lifelong hockey team .

Architecture is usually discussed as a service. A client has a need, a firm delivers a building, everyone moves on to the next project. Dr. Marwa Al-Sabouni makes a harder argument. She says the built environment is one of the strongest forces shaping whether people in a place trust each other, and that the consequences of getting it wrong can take generations to show up. She would know. Marwa is an architect based in Homs, Syria, who stayed through the war and wrote about what she was watching in real time. In this episode she and Bryce talk about how decades of zoning and redevelopment separated communities that had lived together, what she believes reconstruction actually requires, why identity and beauty are structural concerns rather than decorative ones, and what it means to keep practicing architecture in a place where the profession's stakes are impossible to ignore. This one is for architects, engineers, and firm leaders who want a bigger frame on what their work does after the ribbon is cut. It's also for anyone in AEC who has started to wonder whether the profession they trained for still means what they thought it meant. About Dr. Marwa Al-Sabouni Dr. Marwa Al-Sabouni is an architect, urban thinker, author, and international speaker based in Syria. She holds a PhD in architectural design and Islamic architecture, and her work brings together sociology, contextual and psychological analysis, and aesthetics to make the case for architecture as a society-making tool. She is the author of The Battle for Home (2016), Building for Hope (2020), and Mosque (2026), published internationally by Thames & Hudson, and a chapter-author in the Getty publication Cultural Heritage and Mass Atrocities (2022). Her writing has appeared in RIBA Journal, Architectural Review, Standpoint Magazine, the Victoria & Albert Museum, the ICRC Journal, Renovatio, Middle East Eye, and others. She received the Prince Claus Award in 2018, was named to the BBC 100 Women list in 2019, and won the World Monuments Fund Watch Award in 2023. The Battle for Home was named one of the Guardian's best architecture books of 2016, Prospect Magazine named her one of the top 50 thinkers in the world, and Architectural Digest listed her among the top contenders for the 2018 Pritzker Prize. Her TED talk has been viewed over a million times.

Zoning, density, and material choices change how likely people are to know and trust the people around them. Beauty and identity are not budget line items to cut first. They are part of what makes people willing to stay somewhere and take care of it. Reconstruction that ignores what a place meant to the people who lived there rebuilds the buildings and loses the community. Architects have more influence over social outcomes than the typical scope of work suggests, and that influence operates whether or not anyone claims it. A career in this industry gets more durable, not less, when you can name what your work is actually for.

The Monday Night Wars enter an emotional and pivotal new week as Wrestling War Zone returns. On episode 164, JT & Chad break down WWF Raw is War and WCW Monday Nitro from October 6, 1997, just one night after WWF Badd Blood. Raw opens under tragic circumstances as the WWF pays tribute to Brian Pillman, who had passed away just one day earlier. While the ten-bell salute and Jim Ross-narrated tribute video provide a respectful remembrance of Pillman, the WWF also makes the highly controversial decision to conduct a live satellite interview with his grieving widow, Melanie Pillman. Vince McMahon questions Melanie about Brian's cause of death, possible painkiller use, their five children, and how she plans to support her family as a single mother — an uncomfortable and exploitative segment that became one of the most infamous promotional decisions in WWF history. JT & Chad discuss the disgusting nature of putting Melanie on live television while she was still processing the sudden death of her husband, and contrast it with the otherwise heartfelt tribute WWF presented for Pillman that evening. From there, the fallout from Badd Blood begins immediately. Shawn Michaels, Triple H and Chyna continue pushing boundaries as their alliance moves closer to officially becoming D-Generation X, while tensions with Bret Hart and the Hart Foundation continue to explode. After his shocking debut inside Hell in a Cell, Kane makes his first appearance on Raw, destroying Matt & Jeff Hardy as Paul Bearer promises that his monster is coming for The Undertaker. Meanwhile, Stone Cold Steve Austin continues battling WWF management for the right to return to the ring and makes his demand clear: another shot at Owen Hart and the Intercontinental Championship. Over on Nitro, WCW also pays tribute to Pillman before returning to the escalating war between the nWo and WCW. Hollywood Hogan turns his attention toward Roddy Piper and their upcoming steel cage match at Halloween Havoc, while the looming presence of Sting continues to haunt the nWo. The in-ring action also delivers Eddie Guerrero defending the Cruiserweight Championship against Ultimo Dragon, Curt Hennig battling Chris Benoit for the United States Championship, Booker T taking on Jeff Jarrett, DDP challenging Disco Inferno, and more as WCW builds toward Halloween Havoc. JT & Chad discuss: • WWF and WCW remembering Brian Pillman • The fallout from Badd Blood and the first Hell in a Cell • Kane's first night on Raw and Paul Bearer's warning to The Undertaker • Shawn Michaels, Triple H & Chyna moving closer to D-Generation X • Steve Austin demanding his return match against Owen Hart • Bret Hart vs. Hunter Hearst Helmsley • Hogan, Piper, Sting and the nWo's road to Halloween Havoc • Eddie Guerrero vs. Ultimo Dragon • Curt Hennig vs. Chris Benoit • Which company delivered the stronger show on October 6, 1997 The Attitude Era is beginning to take shape before our eyes while WCW and the nWo remain on top of the wrestling world.

We sit down with Yair Nativ to separate AI hype from measurable business impact, especially inside traditional companies where the biggest wins hide in plain sight. We dig into executive fear, frontline resistance, and the practical discipline it takes to turn agentic workflows into real P&L results without sacrificing original thinking.• Why confident AI output can trick smart leaders into accepting errors• The overlooked AI opportunity in non-tech companies and legacy workflows• What “boring problems” look like in finance ops and back office automation• How to tie AI adoption to KPIs and avoid performative AI theater• When value-based pricing makes sense and where it breaks down• How to turn worker anxiety into collaboration through empathy and upskilling• Lessons on resilience and delegation from building during a war*Leave a review with the one workflow you want AI to fix next.*AI does not fail in organizations because it is “not smart enough.” It fails because we deploy it like a magic trick, then act surprised when confident-sounding answers turn into expensive mistakes. We bring on Yair Nativ, co-founder and CEO of an AI adoption and strategy firm, to get brutally practical about what actually works when you want AI transformation that shows up on the P&L.We talk through why executives can be both skeptical and oddly trusting at the same time, how hallucinations slip past smart people, and what it takes to reward critical thinking instead of blind acceptance. From there we zoom in on the real market most people ignore: traditional industries and non-tech companies where workflows are still painfully manual. That “unglamorous middle” is where agentic workflows can collapse months of effort into days, but only if you anchor every build to clear KPIs, measurable cycle-time gains, and quality standards.We also get into the human side that kills most AI programs early: fear on the front line. Yair shares stories from factory floors and operations teams, plus the messaging that turns “Are you here to fire me?” into “How does this make my day better?” The conversation goes beyond tactics, too, touching on resilience and delegation while building a startup under extreme real-world pressure, and the origin of SafeLane, a road safety initiative born from personal loss.If you want a grounded AI strategy, practical change management, and a clear way to measure value without AI theater, hit play.

Jim Norton and Matt Serra are joined by a pair of featherweight veterans before making picks for Saturday's UFC Paris card.First, Giga Chikadze returns to UFC Unfiltered ahead of his UFC 331 matchup against Joanderson Brito in Los Angeles. The Georgian veteran discusses getting back to full health after pulling out of his previously scheduled fight against Vinicius Oliveira, opening up a new gym in Huntington Beach, and the urgency behind snapping his current skid as he looks to make another run at 38 years old.After saluting the five DWCS winners who earned UFC contracts, Jim and Matt welcome Sean Woodson back to the show following his split decision win over Jack Jenkins in Shanghai. Woodson talks about shaking off a 16-month layoff, fighting through a 13-hour time difference, how jail scared him straight into a focused path as an MMA fighter, and his recent move into streaming Warzone on Twitch.Finally, Jim and Matt wrap up the show with their picks for Saturday's UFC Paris card before taking Monday off for Labor Day.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We played the Modern Warfare 4 beta this weekend — including Warzone and the new Zodiac Resurgence map — and it took about fifteen minutes to know it was over. Not "this year is mid" over. Over over. This is the episode where a podcast that ran on Call of Duty for 600+ episodes says out loud that it's done. Raz makes the case that nothing else in an FPS matters if you can't see or hear the enemy, and everything else — weapon levels, perks, pipe climbing, the spawns everyone's arguing about on X — is fixing a leaky bathtub while the house burns down. Jake breaks down why CoD only takes from him now, why the lobbies are nothing but sweat, and the exact point where min-maxing your controller, your router and your ZIP code stopped being worth it. Also in this one: the Zodiac verdict (better than Area 99, roughly Haven's Hollow), the weekend 2 nerf pass, the 60% negative Steam reviews, why Warzone was in the beta at all, and a DMZ 2 prediction we're standing behind. Then a palate cleanser — Star Wars Zero Company, permadeath, and a first playthrough Raz completely ruined — plus a brutal Tarkov week, the Tarkov roadmap, GTA 6's Netflix look, and WARDOGS. Jake wanted it to be good. Raz stopped wanting that years ago.

Tread Perilously concludes its summer Patreon request month with an episode of The Highwayman called "Warzone." When Jetto seemingly goes rogue and abducts military and city officials, the Highwayman springs into action to figure out the how and why. But a clearly corrupt general has his own reasons to silence Jetto. What really happened six years earlier? Why can't Jetto remember? And is Wayne Newton among his captives? These and other questions might be answered by the time the episode concludes. In a rare role-reversal, Justin turns out to be the person with Highwayman history as Erik did not watch it in his misspent youth. Nevertheless, Justin finds the worldbuilding to be very poor. Erik marvels at a show containing so much of what he thought was cool as a child, but proves to be a slog. He also determines Jetto fought in a second Vietnam War. The pair profile the brief success of Jetto actor Jacko (yes, that's his stage name) and rank the worst Halloween movies. Justin recalls a particularly "Hollywood" moment from his elementary school days. Phony Australian accents falter. A sedate Jane Badler appears. Justin tries to explain the program's special convertible trucks; it leads to a discussion of M.A.S.K. The pair appreciate Terry Kiser's contribution to the episode and the definition of a "highwayman" comes into question.

Two shooter betas dropped on the same weekend, so we played both and came back with very different verdicts. WARDOGS is Bulkhead's 100-player, three-team tactical shooter with a real money economy — you buy your loadout every respawn, you lose money when you die, and it turns out that changes how a match actually feels. Modern Warfare 4 finally dumps omnimovement, removes bloom from hipfire, and put a campaign mission in the beta for the first time ever. We get into the WARDOGS recon grind and the 5.56 break-action "sniper" that shouldn't exist, the money system and whether it creates real gear fear, three-team fights and whether they actually matter, spawn vehicles as an infinite money glitch, base building and anti-air, and why there is never — not once, not ever — an unoccupied tower. On the CoD side: how the movement feels without omnimovement, no-bloom hipfire on keyboard and mouse, opening-night demon lobbies, whether Warzone and DMZ2 have a chance, and the annual spawns discourse that needs to die. Jake played both. Raz refused to pre-order. Somehow they still ended up disagreeing. 0:00 - Intro 2:26 - How to even get into these betas 2:50 - "I'm not pre-ordering this pile of shit game" 3:23 - Patreon, the FPS lore bonus episode, and the patron hangout 6:09 - Gut check: which beta did we keep loading back into? 6:39 - Jake played the MW4 campaign mission first thing in the morning 8:10 - Opening night of the CoD beta was as sweaty as it gets 11:09 - The WARDOGS recon grind is making the game worse 12:22 - The 5.56 break-action "sniper" that should not exist 13:31 - Two gripes: no free look, and you can't reload while sprinting 15:10 - Recon 10, the Mosin, and a $50,000 unlock 16:41 - There's loot on top of the towers — finding an SV-98 17:44 - What surprised us 18:43 - MW4 movement with no omnimovement 21:48 - So what's actually new in MW4?

A2 THE SHOW #627On the next episode of A2 THE SHOW, we sit down with Alia Ballout, a Singaporean-Lebanese entrepreneur, founder of Beît Ballout, and the driving force behind Singapore's first traditional olive oil brand and processing facility. From studying politics and law to building a business in South Lebanon during war, Alia shares the story behind her journey, resilience, and unconventional approach to entrepreneurship. We discuss how war forced her to reinvent her business, why successful entrepreneurs need a little “delusion,” the difference between a business and a brand, micromanagement, AI, billionaires and politics, personal branding, and what facing death taught her about living without fear. Her story offers a powerful look at entrepreneurship, identity, resilience, Lebanon, and building something meaningful against the odds.

Episode 600. On August 21st the Modern Warfare 4 early access beta, the WARDOGS closed beta, and Call of Duty NEXT all land on the same day — and the two games are asking for wildly different amounts of money. We go through everything Activision is cramming into the MW4 beta: a playable campaign mission called Entrenched, six multiplayer maps, the return of Ground War, and a brand new Warzone Resurgence map called Zodiac. Then we put odds on whether any of it actually works over a single weekend. Spoiler: 20%. Omnimovement is gone. We get into what replaced it, whether removing it was a gameplay decision or a marketing one, and why "you can climb pipes now" is the funniest thing Infinity Ward has ever put in a press release. On the WARDOGS side: $39.99 Early Access on September 10, over a million Steam wishlists, and a promise of no in-game monetization that came out of one very bad Reddit post. We argue that the promise is a mistake — and that the most consumer-friendly thing a game can do is just be good. Plus DMZ2, aim assist, and why Infinity Ward is about to be spread way too thin. 0:00 - Intro — 600 episodes 2:09 - Patreon free trials all August 4:02 - Patron hangout: August 28th 5:30 - Two betas, one Friday 6:49 - MW4 beta dates and the pre-order wall 7:44 - A campaign mission in a beta — a CoD first 10:23 - The battle dad theory 13:24 - Discord Nitro gets you in free 15:28 - All six multiplayer maps 16:06 - Ground War is back 20:24 - Zodiac: a new Resurgence map in the beta 23:56 - Modes, and the ones held back 25:33 - 19 weapons and a fake pre-order camo 26:59 - "It's gonna be a buggy fucking disaster" 28:51 - Putting the odds at 20% 31:13 - Why I win either way 33:23 - No more omnimovement 33:48 - Climbing pipes is just a ladder 35:58 - Was omnimovement actually better? 40:22 - Mantling as the Warzone middle ground 43:06 - What actually makes you a casual? 51:12 - WARDOGS 51:50 - Closed beta August 21–23 53:30 - Three maps at launch?

Joined by our friend Dr. Cliff Redford, a Canadian-based vet, worldwide traveler, conservationist and one heck of a storyteller, Bob and Kevin sit down to trade a few wild stories. Dr. Cliff has been working with smaller animals for years and stepped outside his comfort (and safety) zone to help more exotic animals in need. Dr. Cliff has gone from helping animals in war zones to providing surgical help for zoo animals in various countries... this guy seems to have done it all while keeping a great sense of humor.Here's a few highlights from the show:Becoming a vet in Canada, being our neighbor to the north, working on cats and dogs and running a vet officeWorking on dogs is basically like operating on an alligator, right?Amputating various limbs from animals... it's kind of like butchering a deer...Bob isn't great with US historyWorking in a vet office that was abandoned in Ukraine during the war. Helping local animals that were left behind or harmed during battles.Discussing healthcare in Canada vs the US, commercial vet clinics are taking over and it is 100% better to support smaller businesses. Maybe using prescription drugs meant for animals.If you're interested in more wild stories from Dr. Cliff, then you should check out his book by clicking here for a preorder.Support the Lone Duck Podcast | patreon.com/loneduckoutfittersInterested in our Online Dog Training Programs? | Check them out HERE!Follow us on social media | Youtube and Instagram

In 2016 Janay was a journalist in London and needed footage of the conflict in Syria, so contacted camera operator Habak in Aleppo. What followed was a love story neither saw coming. When Lebanese journalist Janay Boulos first started messaging Abd Al-Kader Habak in the besieged city of Aleppo, one of her first questions was “are you okay?”. Janay needed images and footage for her reporting and Habak would film what he could, often in extremely dangerous situations. Janay, from the comfort of her news desk, began to worry about Habak's safety. Their messages and voice notes became more personal, too. They began learning more about one another; what their families were like, and how they shared experiences of war and displacement. Quietly, they began falling for each other, but with no way of getting in and out of Syria they couldn't meet. Until Habak's security situation took a sudden turn and he decided to flee Syria and was smuggled into Turkey. What followed was a romantic and professional partnership neither thought possible when they first began messaging while thousands of miles apart. They're now married, living in London, and recently released a documentary called Birds of War.

In this episode of the Prolonged Field Care Podcast, Dennis sits down with Alex, CEO of Shannon Mechanics, a Ukrainian company that has produced more than 8,000 drag stretchers and over 330,000 immobilization splints for the front line since the full-scale invasion.Alex shares the raw story of how the company started with scrap materials and construction-store aluminum during the early chaos of 2022, scaled production while operating physically underground with independent power and battery-powered equipment, and refined products based on real soldier feedback. They discuss the BM splint (a more rigid, radiolucent alternative designed for Ukrainian conditions), the philosophy behind their rollable plastic drag stretcher optimized for one-person extraction under drone threat and complex terrain, quality control under resource constraints, the transition from pure volunteering to a sustainable business, and the deeper questions of dignity in life and death, PTSD, and long-term rehabilitation.This is practical, unfiltered insight into how medical manufacturing adapts when supply lines collapse, borders close, and every piece of gear has to work in the worst conditions imaginable.Key TakeawaysMedical equipment designed for true one-person drag evacuation becomes critical when vehicles and multi-person teams are unavailable under drone threat and destroyed terrain.Starting with simple, locally available materials (construction-store aluminum for splints) allowed rapid production when imports were impossible.Operating underground with independent power, internet, and battery-powered tools enables continuity during blackouts and air raids.Visual quality control plus a “donation pile” for minor cosmetic defects keeps functional gear moving to the front while supporting community needs.Sustainable production requires paying people and covering costs—pure volunteering burns out and collapses.Feedback loops from soldiers drive continuous product improvement (rigidity, size options, packing for NATO pouches).Beyond the gear itself, the conversation highlights the need for dignity in recovery of the wounded and the fallen, plus long-term psychological and prosthetic support for survivors.Chapters00:00 – Introduction & Disclaimer00:26 – Meet Alex: CEO of Shannon Mechanics01:15 – Company origins: Revolution of Dignity to 2014–202202:41 – Humble beginnings, scrap materials, and the siege of Kyiv04:55 – Building supply chains under closed borders07:18 – Starting with BM splints, then the Utah/drag stretcher08:06 – Material challenges and community-driven solutions11:20 – Learning the craft, teaching production, and favoring people over full automation13:26 – From volunteering to a sustainable business model16:21 – Quality control process for splints23:20 – Introducing the drag stretcher design philosophy24:02 – Why rigid NATO litters fail in modern Ukrainian conditions25:01 – One-person drag, complex terrain, drones, and secondary injury prevention28:15 – Limitations (sniper fire) and real-world evacuation stories (8 km drag, quad bike integration)30:32 – Hypothermia protection, mud/snow durability, and recovery of the fallen34:40 – PTSD as generational trauma and the need for long-term support40:00 – Managing supply chain volatility and building Ukrainian supplier capacity42:39 – What has allowed the company to succeed during warFor more content, go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.prolongedfieldcare.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Consider supporting us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/ProlongedFieldCareCollective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.lobocoffeeco.com/product-page/prolonged-field-care⁠⁠⁠⁠

What keeps someone steady when every decision could mean the difference between life and death? Most of us will never command soldiers through a war zone or spend our days searching for hidden roadside bombs. But we all know what it feels like to carry responsibilities that seem heavier than we can bear. Whether you're leading a family through a crisis, making difficult decisions at work, or simply trying to stay faithful in a stressful season, pressure has a way of revealing where you place your trust. In this gripping episode of our new series, Performing Under Pressure, Shay Roush, M.Div., sits down with Vince Bentinganan, a retired Army lieutenant colonel and former Commander of Bravo Company, 110th Engineer Battalion, to talk about the realities of searching for improvised explosive devices (IEDs) during Operation Iraqi Freedom, a hostile environment with brutal physical, mental, and spiritual conditions. As they reflect on their 20-year friendship, Vince shares openly about the stress of combat, the weight of leadership, and the spiritual disciplines that kept him grounded during deployment. It turns out that things like prayer, godly friendships, connection, and encouragement are helpful even in one of the most dangerous environments imaginable. Whether you're navigating a season of overwhelming responsibility or simply wondering how to remain steady when life feels scary or uncertain, Vince's story of faith under fire offers timeless wisdom and abundant hope.

The Monday Night Wars continue to escalate as Wrestling War Zone returns with JT & Chad breaking down WWF Raw is War and WCW Monday Nitro from September 22, 1997. Following One Night Only and Fall Brawl, both companies continue building toward two of the biggest events of the year—WWF Badd Blood: In Your House and WCW Halloween Havoc. The race for ratings is tighter than ever as every episode pushes major storylines forward. On Raw is War, Stone Cold Steve Austin remains the most unpredictable force in the WWF, while tensions continue to rise between Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker, and The Hart Foundation. With Badd Blood rapidly approaching, rivalries intensify as the WWF leans further into the Attitude Era with edgier storytelling and unforgettable character work. Meanwhile, WCW Nitro continues to be dominated by the nWo, whose influence stretches across every level of the company. The fallout from Fall Brawl continues to reshape the landscape as Hollywood Hogan, Ric Flair, and the rest of WCW's biggest stars jockey for position heading into Halloween Havoc... plus the arrival of Bill Goldberg! JT & Chad examine the show's biggest matches, memorable promos, and the booking decisions that kept WCW atop the wrestling world in 1997.

Meet Karon Brookins, the 6-foot-5 Penn State wide receiver whose football story has always been driven by family.Brookins looks back on growing up around Philadelphia, being the youngest in a big family and one of his earliest football memories — scoring his first touchdown while his mom ran down the sideline cheering him on. He also shares how football became his path, his relationship with Matt Campbell, the work he has put into taking the next step in his game and why he embraces the pressure that comes with playing at Penn State.Away from football, Brookins talks about his faith, his War Zone squad and the family motivation behind everything he does. With nobody in his family having previously reached the highest levels of college or professional football, Brookins wants to be the first — and leave Penn State remembered for who he was both on and off the field.Presented by PAM Health: https://pamhealth.com/Chapters:00:00 Falling in Love With Football00:39 His First Touchdown with Mom01:02 First Offer01:19 Connecting With Matt Campbell01:27 Taking the Next Step02:02 Faith Away From Football02:16 Call of Duty & Life Off the Field02:31 Becoming the First in His Family02:42 What He Wants His Penn State Legacy to BeFOLLOW STATE MEDIA HERE:► TWITTER | ⁠https://twitter.com/StateMediaPSU⁠► TIKTOK | ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@statemediapsu⁠► INSTAGRAM | ⁠https://www.instagram.com/statemediapsu/⁠► YOUTUBE | ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@StateMediaPSU?sub_confirmation=1⁠► FACEBOOK | https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61558183472272#pennstatefootball #weare #happyvalley

Infinity Ward just had its biggest Modern Warfare 4 reveal week yet — and the community immediately found the flaws. We break down everything shown at the MW4 creator event and Fanatics Fest: the Kill Block modular map with 500+ configurations, the gunplay reveal and the instant visual recoil backlash, VFX masking, no-bloom hipfire, doors, takedowns, proximity chat, and the Aston Martin Dreadnought that quietly confirmed Warzone isn't dead yet. Then the real question: MW4 looks like MW19 2.0 — but is a well-executed return to form enough in 2026? We get into why the arcade shooter can't hold anyone's attention all year anymore, why the "third game mode" is the entire Call of Duty paradigm now, and why everything — the game, the year, maybe the franchise's momentum — is riding on DMZ2. Plus: why you should treat beta weekend two as the final verdict, because beta tests aren't beta tests anymore. Also announced: monthly Patreon hangouts are BACK starting in August — hot take open mics, trivia, and more. patreon.com/thedropshot One of us is buying in. One of us has seen this movie before.

Do tanque e do porta-aviões do século XX aos drones baratos que destroem tanques de milhões, da IA que escolhe alvos em segundos (Lavender, Maven, Claude Mythos) aos robôs que já caminham no campo de batalha: neste episódio mergulhamos na maior revolução da tecnologia de guerra dos últimos 100 anos. Do “laboratório” da Ucrânia de drones FPV e fibra óptica, a IA transformou a decisão de matar em algoritmo, passando pela guerra de narrativas com deepfakes que ninguém mais sabe o que é real e o que está acontecendo. Guerra mais eficiente significa guerra melhor… ou só mais frequente e impessoal? Patronato do SciCast: 1. Patreon SciCast 2. Apoia.se/Scicast 3.

Episode 3470: Wanderer shares how an engineering leader shaped his thinking with a simple question: “It doesn't matter what went wrong. What do we do now?” Drawing on lessons forged while surviving war in Lebanon, the story reveals why focusing on the next step instead of past mistakes can transform the way you approach financial setbacks, career decisions, and life's biggest challenges. Quotes to ponder: "The difference between really successful people and everyone else is that they, like Mario, don't spend time moaning about what could've been. They spend that time fixing the problem instead." "It doesn't matter how far you've tumbled as long as you never stop climbing." "It doesn't matter what went wrong. What do we do now?"
