Fresh back from Chicago, this week Ian and Josh relive their trip to the 46th National Sports Collectors Convention, with Keith and Jason firing in questions from home.It's a full National debrief, from the scale of the show and the crush of the crowds to the way the big booths turned floor space into proper hobby theatre. Think live breaks, giveaways, custom cards, free slabs, app sign-ups, and enough collector temptation to test even the strongest willpower.Was there much non-sports to be found? Ian and Josh go hunting beyond the sports tables, from Pokémon, One Piece, Marvel, and DC to sealed boxes, autos, vintage oddities, and the Star Wars-heavy Heritage Auctions display.We also get into show logistics, favourite moments, Chicago food, Target restocks, Lollapalooza chaos, and why The National is as much about people, networking, and industry handshakes as it is about buying cardboard.BIG love to the Upper Deck team and to all who we met at the show.Plus, Jason signs off from regular podcast duties with a heartfelt farewell.

Send us Fan MailTravel does not create the mess. It exposes what was never built.In this episode, we unpack why leaving home your base wrecks sleep, goals, and self-trust for so many people, and what to do about it long before you pack a bag. Emilia breaks down a client who feared a bachelorette party would drag her back into old world, the grief of outgrowing a circle that does not share your values, and the We Travel checklists that turn every bad trip into a lesson instead of a loss. Bianca adds why the ability to advocate for yourself at 11 PM in a hotel lobby is built well before the trip starts, and why travel being your only reprieve deserves a much bigger conversation. We also walk a live example of naming your values, attaching standards to them, and rating your own mess level from zero to ten.Here's a related episode that builds on today's conversation: #511 | Why Alcohol Is an Easy Helper When You Are Stressed - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/evolve-ventures/id1511831621?i=1000771646317The Growth Journey graphic referenced in this video - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TjoFB6l-JBPkW2Pxf8GaYLQbJimvo_Ek/view?usp=drive_linkLearn more about:

Most business coverage focuses on companies, products, and technologies. Rarely does anyone ask the more important question: what is actually happening inside the market category that makes a business win or lose? The Pirate Street Journal exists to answer exactly that question. On this episode, Christopher, Eddie, and Bri unpacked three stories that expose how business really works, starting with one of the most surprising turnarounds in the restaurant industry: Chili’s is up over 500% since 2022, and the secret had nothing to do with artificial intelligence. The story of Chili’s parent company Brinker International challenges nearly every assumption that modern business culture makes about technology and growth. While the broader corporate world chases AI pilots and flashy robotics programs, Chili’s went the other direction. Their CIO Chris Caldwell invested in the fundamentals, and the results speak for themselves. Understanding why this worked requires looking at the deeper principles of category design and what it truly means to solve the right problem. This is just one of the topics that Pirates Christopher Lochhead, Eddie Yoon and Bri Clark discuss on this episode of Pirate Street Journal. Each week, the Category Pirates pick three headlines worth paying attention to and break down the category underneath. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go.   Chili’s Bet on Basics Over Buzzwords Chili’s success came from a two-year Wi-Fi overhaul across 1,200 restaurants, 23,000 iPads to replace tablets that could not hold a charge through a shift, and 9,000 kitchen touch screens. The CIO’s team brainstormed dozens of AI use cases and kept only six or seven. They killed the robot servers entirely. What Chili’s actually did was identify the lowercase problems first, like whether staff could communicate with each other, before reaching for a technology solution. Communication is at the heart of what makes a restaurant work. As the hosts pointed out, anyone who has watched the show “The Bear” understands how high-stakes and fast-moving kitchen environments are. Chili’s fixed the foundation, and in doing so, created a compounding advantage over competitors who were chasing novelty. Twenty consecutive quarters of same-store sales growth is not luck. It is what happens when a business solves the right problem with the right tool.   Small Businesses Have the Biggest Leapfrog Opportunity The Census Bureau data that the three discuss reveals something striking. Between December and May, only 17 to 20 percent of American businesses reported using AI at all, and that number did not move over five months. The widest adoption gap exists between large companies and small ones. Yet paradoxically, small and medium-sized businesses may have the biggest opportunity right now because they can move faster and are not weighed down by bureaucracy. Christopher pointed out that the S&P 493, meaning the S&P 500 minus the Magnificent Seven, spends roughly twice as much on dividends and stock buybacks as it does on innovation. Stock buybacks are essentially a company admitting it has run out of ideas. Small businesses, by contrast, can adopt AI as a co-founder and reimagine their operations from the ground up in 12 to 18 months, something a legacy corporation simply cannot do at the same speed.   The Real Lesson From Chili’s Is About Problem-First Thinking The Chili’s story is ultimately a lesson in what the hosts call problem-first thinking. Rather than starting with a solution like robots or AI and working backward, Chili’s started with the fundamental challenge of any restaurant: how do you feed a lot of people, make them happy, and maximize the number of table turns and ticket sizes? Every technology decision followed from that question. That discipline is what separates genuine business transformation from expensive experimentation. The three drew a parallel to restaurant culture in Asia, where customers pay before eating, and a simple button at the table replaces the need to flag down a server. These are not sophisticated technologies. They are elegant solutions to clearly defined problems. Chili’s proved that the most celebrated turnaround in casual dining did not require a robot. It required leadership willing to ask what was actually broken and fix that, first. To hear about all the topics in this week's The Pirate Street Journal, download and listen to this episode.

Within the hour it had introduced itself to her entire team, worked out on its own that the podcast was central to the business, counted the back catalogue, audited which episodes had transcripts, and offered to fix the gap. It had also spent two thirds of her credit balance, and when she asked where the money had gone, the answer was not what she expected. That story is the way into a full account of the AI tools Heather is currently paying for: what each one does, what it costs, and whether it earns its place. The total comes to $329 a month, which is just under $4,000 a year, and it is a number she had never added up before preparing this episode. The second half is a practical method for auditing your own stack. Where duplication hides, what your existing property management software already does that you may be buying twice, why monthly subscriptions beat annual ones until you are certain, and how to hand the whole exercise to AI rather than building another spreadsheet. Heather also covers what is genuinely worth learning right now and what most operators can safely leave alone for another six months. Key Takeaways Most AI spending is not a decision. It arrives as a run of small, individually defensible choices, and it lands on top of a software bill that was already growing. When an agent runs on credits, the work you ask for is usually the cheap part. The expense sits in recurring background jobs and proactive activity nobody requested. Ask any metered tool, within the first week, where your credits went and what it does when you are not watching. A capable agent needs a scope brief before it gets access, not after. Decide what it can see, who can instruct it, and what it may do without asking. Per-seat pricing is where software bills quietly grow. A tool that costs $84 a year can cost $420 a year across a team. Audit by job, not by tool. Write down the job, then list everything you pay for that does it. Check what your existing platforms already do. Most PMS and operations tools have shipped AI features that operators are separately paying for elsewhere. Only take an annual plan once you are confident you will still be using the tool in a year. The discount is always offered when you are most enthusiastic and least informed. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

DEF CON In-Flight Wi‑Fi Hack, 400 Microsoft Patches, and AI Agent 'Ghostjacking' Delta Air Lines is investigating a brief appearance of an unauthorized Wi‑Fi network on a Las Vegas–Atlanta flight carrying DEF CON attendees after reports of a deauthentication attack, a rogue SSID ("Delta Wi‑Fi Fast"), and an alleged phishing page; authorities questioned suspects and seized portable Wi‑Fi hardware after landing. Microsoft released 400 August Patch Tuesday fixes, including 42 critical and three zero-days, one exploited CVE-2026-68820 tied to Lazarus and a kernel rootkit.  Tenant Security demonstrated "ghost jacking" at DEF CON 34, where blocked firewall logs and other telemetry can poison AI agents into executing attacker instructions across platforms like Cloudflare, Datadog, and Sentry, prompting calls for least privilege, short-lived credentials, and human approvals. An Australian developer's AI agent exploited an authorization flaw in a gym booking API by canceling a stranger's reservation, raising broader concerns about agent-driven hacking incidents. 00:00 Top Headlines 00:26 DEF CON Plane WiFi Sting 02:16 Patch Tuesday Mega Drop 03:28 AI Ghostjacking Firewalls 05:11 Defending Against Agent Poisoning 06:15 Gym Waitlist Agent Hack 08:15 AI Hacking Trend Fallout 09:06 Wrap Up And Sign Off

Coming up this week, Microsoft patches 400 vulnerabilities, including an actively exploited zero-day. Microsoft accidentally pushes a new OneDrive app to Windows 11 PCs, DEF CON attendees are accused of causing Wi-Fi chaos on a Delta flight, and OpenAI rolls out a powerful new AI model specifically for cybersecurity. Plus, we've got some notable Windows 365 updates and plenty more. All that and more on this week's episode of the 5 Bytes Podcast.

When mid-air Wi-Fi scares meet massive enterprise AI investments, IT teams are forced to rethink both security and cloud strategy. On this episode of the Tech Field Day News Rundown, hosts Tom Hollingsworth and Alastair Cooke break down a fake Wi-Fi network detected on a Delta flight post-DEF CON that temporarily shut down inflight internet. They also explore NetApp acquiring JetStream Software to ease VMware cloud disaster recovery, along with NVIDIA releasing open-source tools like Nemotron 3.5 Lightning and NeMo Switchyard to cut enterprise AI costs. IBM and Together AI are building a $240 million AI cluster on IBM Cloud, Sectigo launched its Orchestration Gateway to automate certificate renewals before TLS lifespans drop to 47 days, Blumira introduced the Hearth AI security command center, and the FBI teamed up with Huntress to patch thousands of compromised Microsoft Exchange servers using an attacker backdoor.This and more on the Tech Field Day News Rundown with Tom Hollingsworth and Alastair Cooke.

Send us Fan MailWelcome to Hall of Imagination–and this is the first in a series of episodes about William Shakespeare. And here we have a wax figure of the BARD himself. And personally, let me say as an actor that I am really excited about the prospect of learning more about what makes William Shakespeare so great!  Oh here you are!Mr. Shakespeare, I am really excited about this series of podcast episodes.Now we are not going to begin by interviewing Hamlet… or Juliet… or Lady Macbeth… or Romeo…No. Today, I'm starting with… a town.A town with muddy streets, and church bells, and gossip that travels faster than Wi-Fi ever dreamed of traveling.Because before Shakespeare becomes Shakespeare—the name you've heard a thousand times—he is a boy in Stratford-upon-Avon, absorbing the world like a sponge with ambitions.Support the showThank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.

Nephilim Death Squad breaks down the full Brohemian Grove / BroGrove experience with Matthew Hepner of Straight Bible and Zack of The Berean Files. From the Brohemian Grove VIP Day at The Standard Coffee Shop to the massive main event, this episode goes behind the scenes on what happened before, during, and after one of the wildest NDS gatherings yet.The crew discusses the live Bible study, Christian fellowship, conspiracy roundtables, comedy, technical chaos, venue problems, and the army of listeners and content creators who came together for the event. David “The Raven” Corbo and Top Lobsta explain the confrontation that brought the final performance to an abrupt end, while Zach recounts watching the event's police security detail react to the conversations happening on stage.They also revisit the unforgettable combination of Owen Benjamin and Dr. Heather Lynn, including the darkly comedic discussion surrounding ritual cannibalism, Charlie Kirk, anthropology, and Communion. The conversation expands into Rob Skiba, flat earth, Neil deGrasse Tyson, institutional distrust, Flock cameras, Wi-Fi surveillance, 6G technology, Satan's Little Season, spiritual warfare, and the dangers of going too far down conspiracy rabbit holes.One of the most serious moments comes from the BroGrove roundtable with Austin Picard of The Underclass Podcast, where a conspiracy discussion unexpectedly becomes a conversation about darkness, faith, Scripture, and turning your attention back toward God.The guys also recap appearances and interactions involving Ed Mabry, Laura Baker, John Lenhart, Royce and Mersh, Demon Erasers, Seth Kicklighter, Jeremiah Skiba, Skiba News, Prometheus Lens, JT Follows JC, and many more.Most importantly, they discuss why Christian community, knowing God personally, spiritual warfare, and keeping Christ at the center matter more than simply collecting information about darkness.What was your favorite Brohemian Grove moment? Should NDS do another BroGrove, and who should appear next time?Let us know in the comments.00:00 Brohemian Grove Recap Intro00:55 Matthew Heppner & Zach of The Berean Files02:22 The BroGrove VIP Day and Main Event05:39 Glorifying God Through Brohemian Grove07:43 Why the Final Performance Suddenly Ended14:08 The Venue Confrontation Gets Heated18:16 The Police Officer Watching BroGrove21:15 Owen Benjamin & Dr. Heather Lynn on Cannibalism24:13 BroGrove, Charlie Kirk & the Memorial Highway30:43 Planning the Next Brohemian Grove31:39 The Challenge of Moderating Conspiracy Roundtables33:33 The Austin Picard Intervention35:17 Conspiracy Darkness vs Looking Toward God40:02 Rob Skiba, Flat Earth & Neil deGrasse Tyson42:11 The Positive Side of BroGrove43:33 VIP Day at The Standard Coffee Shop45:16 Burying the Hatchet With Mersh49:01 Owen Benjamin, Royce & Mersh Behind the Scenes53:12 The BroGrove Content Creator Lineup54:49 Jack Takes Over the Livestream01:03:28 Demon Erasers, Seth Kicklighter & BroGrove Chaos01:08:15 Lightsabers, Whips & the After-Hours Hangout01:10:26 Meeting the Conspiracy Community in Real Life01:13:37 Christian Unity Inside the Conspiracy World01:17:01 Cannibalism, Jesus, Communion & the Bread and Wine01:20:22 Zach's Cannibalism Story01:24:11 Flock Cameras, Wi-Fi Surveillance & 6G01:25:07 The HGTV Conspiracy Theory01:33:33 Are Churches Preparing Christians for Spiritual Warfare?01:44:06 Roundtable Problems & the Alien Mask01:50:54 Ed Mabry, Laura Baker & the VIP Bible Study01:51:29 Intimacy With God vs Intellectual Christianity02:05:00 BroGrove Merch, Podcasts & Creator Community02:10:00 Owen Benjamin Hanging Out With the Audience02:30:00 Gratitude for the NDS Community02:41:37 Truth or Con, Skiba News & Dallas Plans02:45:00 BroGrove Kids Day & Future Event Ideas02:47:23 What the Next Brohemian Grove Could Look Like02:50:10 Kurt Metzger, Sam Tripoli & Future Guests02:53:33 Changing the BroGrove Format02:55:00 Future Venues, Pricing & Event Plans03:00:00 Could BroGrove Take Over a Movie Theater?03:04:11 The Berean Files & Closing ThoughtsThe Berean Files — Zack KilleyYouTube: https://youtube.com/@thebereanfilesApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-berean-files/id1887826045Spreaker: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-berean-files--6950329Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bereanfiles/Patreon (Watch Live episodes, early & ad free): https://www.patreon.com/NephilimDeathSquadWebsite & Merch: https://nephilimdeathsquad.comListen/Watch:Audio Podcast: nephilimdeathsquad.carrd.co/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@NephilimDeathSquadX: https://twitter.com/NephilimDSquadInstagram: https://instagram.com/nephilimdeathsquadFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/share/1AscxBNoH4/ TopLobsta:X: https://twitter.com/TopLobstaInstagram: https://instagram.com/TopLobstaMerch: https://TopLobsta.comRaven:X: https://twitter.com/DavidLCorboInstagram: https://instagram.com/ravenofndsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/nephilim-death-squad--6389018/support.☠️ Nephilim Death Squad — New episodes 5x/week.Join our Patreon for early access, bonus shows & the private Telegram hive.Subscribe on YouTube & Rumble, follow @NephilimDSquad on X/Instagram, grab merch at toplobsta.com. Questions/bookings: chroniclesnds@gmail.com — Stay dangerous.

Send us Fan MailYour front door, your heat, and your “security” cameras might not really be yours anymore and that's not a conspiracy, it's a dependency chain. We take a hard, practical look at how smart home devices can turn everyday convenience into a preparedness vulnerability, especially when core functions rely on cloud servers, Wi‑Fi, firmware updates, and monthly subscriptions. If you care about self-reliance, operational security, and resilient home systems, this one will make you rethink what you've invited into your house. We walk through the hidden transaction behind smart locks, smart thermostats, and cloud-connected cameras: trading autonomy for convenience. The hardware sits on your wall, but the functionality often lives on someone else's infrastructure with someone else's priorities. We talk about what happens when servers go down, bad updates roll out, or access gets restricted and why “it usually works” is not the same thing as being prepared. Then we zoom out to the OPSEC side: the data trail smart devices create, what it reveals about your schedule and patterns, and how “always-on” tech can become a self-funded surveillance system. Finally, we give you a simple decision filter for smart home tech: does it increase your independence or decrease it, and can you operate it if every external system fails? If you want a smarter, tougher home security and preparedness plan, start here. Subscribe, share this with a friend who loves gadgets, and leave a review with the smart device you're rethinking.https://augasonfarms.com?sca_ref=9315862.VpHzogdDNuAugason FarmsSupport the podcast.

After six hours of connectivity issues at the Yakima Convention and Event Center, where hundreds of applicants were unable to access the NextGen exam software, officials ultimately decided to call off the administration entirely. This decision left graduates with limited, difficult options, such as waiting for a potential makeup exam in September, transferring to the February 2027 administration, or withdrawing for a partial refund, all while highlighting significant concerns regarding reliance on Wi-Fi-dependent testing systems without adequate backup plans.

A groundbreaking study reveals WiFi radiation doesn't just affect the exposed individual -- it can damage their future children who were never exposed at all. I'm R Blank, and today I'm breaking down research from The Science of the Total Environment that documents something unprecedented: adult zebrafish exposed to WiFi radiation produced offspring with birth defects, anxiety behaviors, and higher mortality rates -- even though those offspring were never exposed to radiation themselves. This is the first study to demonstrate transgenerational effects of WiFi exposure, and the implications deserve your attention. In This Episode How thirty days of WiFi exposure damaged adult reproductive organs Why offspring never exposed to radiation still developed physical deformities What anxiety behaviors in larvae tell us about brain development The one action you can take today to reduce transgenerational risk Featured Study Read the full study: From adults to offspring: Wi-Fi RF-EMR exposure in adult zebrafish impairs reproduction and transgenerationally effects development and behavior of progeny See all studies at shieldyourbody.com/research

¿Y si este verano dejaras de disparar siempre en RAW?En este episodio te cuento por qué, cuando estoy de vacaciones, prefiero simplificar mi fotografía, disparar en JPG, configurar bien la cámara y disfrutar de algo que muchas veces perdemos durante el resto del año: la inmediatez.Porque seguro que te ha pasado: haces cientos de fotos en RAW pensando “ya las editaré cuando llegue a casa”… y terminan olvidadas durante meses en un disco duro.Mi propuesta para este verano es completamente diferente.Configura bien los JPG de tu cámara, experimenta con perfiles de color, simulaciones de película y ajustes internos, crea varios bancos de memoria y dispara buscando que la fotografía salga prácticamente terminada desde la propia cámara.Después, pásala directamente al móvil mediante WiFi o Bluetooth, haz algún pequeño ajuste si lo necesitas… y compártela.Con tu familia.Con tus amigos.En WhatsApp.En redes sociales.O incluso imprímela en ese mismo momento.**COMPRA EN FOTOK desde este enlace y pon el cupón GABELLIFTK en tu carrito de la compra para llevarte un regalo.WEB FOTOK: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://fotok.es/?aff=y206⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠___________________WEBS: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.rubengabelli.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://fotografodecomida.es⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YOUTUBE: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://cutt.ly/ft3QEHF ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠PATREON: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/RubenGabelli ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠INSTAGRAM: @rubengabelli

Sign-ups at techgumbo.net/geauxai.   News and Updates: Russian Hackers Hijack Hotel Wi-Fi: Microsoft warns a Kremlin-linked group (a Cozy Bear subgroup) is tampering with hotel Wi-Fi to redirect guests to fake Microsoft login pages and push malware disguised as browser or OS updates. Compromised networks serve fake CAPTCHA and update prompts—like a phony Windows driver repair tool—that trick users into running commands that install remote-access trojans such as "Cornflake." FBI: Water Utilities Under Attack: Hackers targeted water and wastewater systems in at least seven states, exploiting internet-exposed Rockwell/Allen-Bradley PLCs and causing pressure loss and flooding in some systems.  A coordinated attack hit 30+ Minnesota community water systems; officials suspect Iran amid renewed US-Iran military tensions, though no formal attribution has been made. The 2D Barcode "Sunrise": GS1 is pushing a global 2027 transition from traditional 1D UPC barcodes to data-rich 2D codes (QR, Data Matrix) that store expiration dates, batch codes, URLs, and authentication data. The shift promises faster scanning from any angle, better traceability for food and pharma recalls, anti-counterfeiting, and consumer engagement—with emerging 3D laser-etched codes for industrial durability. Your Computer May Demand Your Age: Starting in 2027, California's Digital Age Assurance Act will require operating systems (Windows, macOS, Android, Linux) to collect users' ages at setup and share an age bracket with apps. The EFF warns that in practice, compliance could escalate to ID uploads or facial scans, and that broad laws threaten anonymous computing and small open-source projects like Linux distributions.

In this week's episode, I share a few tips for writing effectively and politely in a public space like a coffee shop, library, waiting room, or similar location. This coupon code will get you 25% off the ebooks in the Ghost Exile series at my Payhip store: SUMMEREXILE The coupon code is valid through August 24, 2026. So if you need a new ebook this summer, we've got you covered! TRANSCRIPT 00:00:00 Introduction and Writing Updates Hello, everyone. Welcome to Episode 315 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is August the 7th, 2026 and today I am sharing tips for writing while in public in places such as a coffee shop, a waiting room, or a library. We will also have Coupon of the Week and a progress update on my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects. First off, let's start with Coupon of the Week. This week's coupon code will get you 25% off the ebooks in the Ghost Exile series at my Payhip store. That coupon code is SUMMEREXILE and this coupon code will be valid through August the 24th, 2026, so if you need a new ebook to read this summer, we have got you covered. And as always, the coupon code and the link to my Payhip store will be available in the show notes for this episode. Now for an update on my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects. I am very nearly done with Cloak of Frost. In fact, I'm so close to being done with Cloak of Frost, I am hoping (if all goes well and the creek doesn't rise), to finish it this afternoon after I finish recording this episode. So after you finish listening to this episode when it goes live, go check out your nearest ebook store for Cloak of Frost because hopefully it should be working its way through the platforms and be available then. Once Cloak of Frost is finished and published, my next main project will be Blade of Visions, the sixth book in the Blades of Ruin epic fantasy series. I am currently 17,000 words into that. If all goes well, I am hoping to have that book out sometime in September. I'll need a new secondary project since Blade of Visions is getting promoted from secondary project. So my new secondary project will be Elven-Warlock, the seventh book in the Half-Elven Thief series. That hopefully will be out sometime in October, again, if all goes well. In audiobook news, we have a couple different audiobook things to discuss. Dragon-Mage, the sixth book in the Half-Elven Thief series (as narrated by Leanne Woodward) should now be available at all audiobook stores. Stealth & Spells Online: Final Quest (as narrated by C.J. McAllister) should be at my Payhip store, Google Play, and Kobo as of right now, and it should be working its way through the other audiobook platforms before too much longer. Cloak Mage: Omnibus Four, which is a three-book bundle containing Cloak of Illusion, Cloak of Dragonfire, and Cloak of Embers (as narrated by Hollis McCarthy) is now available in audio as well. It's 38 hours [long] and you can get that at Audible, Apple, and Amazon. As for upcoming books, Brad Wills is working on Blade of Thieves and as of this recording, he's about halfway through it. Hollis McCarthy is working on Cloak of Worlds and I believe she's done with main recording and doing edits right now. So before too much longer, if all goes well, we'll have a bunch of new audiobooks for you. So that is where I'm at with my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects. 00:02:57 Tips for Writing in Public Spaces Now let's move on to our main topic this week, writing or working in a coffee shop, waiting room, library, or other public space. People often romanticize the process of writing and imagine that writers spend all day in a cozy cafe with a leather notebook and a fountain pen, sipping espresso with [chuckles] acoustic guitar music playing faintly in the background. In reality, most full-time writers don't regularly work that way. For myself, I don't generally like working in public, and I prefer either to work in my office at home or with my laptop on my couch (also at home). I only work in public spaces like coffee shops, libraries, and waiting rooms when I'm waiting for someone or don't have any other option. Because of course, real life has its demands, I do that a fair bit. I've written large chunks of most of my books in various waiting rooms while waiting on various appointments. But again, it's not my first choice. If I had total freedom to pick where I was going to work today, I would not pick a coffee shop. I would not pick the library. I would probably pick either my office or my couch with my laptop, depending on how hot the day happened to be. However, just because I don't like working in a public space doesn't mean that other people do not, and many people do love to work in public spaces like coffee shops or find it a necessity for a variety of reasons. So today we're going to go over what you should consider when working in these kinds of spaces. For many people, the benefits of working in a space like a coffee shop or a library are significant. Let's go over a few of the reasons that people might benefit from this working arrangement. Some people don't have much control over the noise or activity levels in their home environment or are experiencing a temporary issue like a power outage or home renovations. For example, this morning at about seven o'clock, a tree trimming truck pulled up directly in front of my house, so I was worried that I would not be able to record this podcast today due to chainsaw noise, but for whatever reason, they haven't started yet, so I'm hoping I can actually finish recording this episode before any chainsaw noise begins. Many people also like having a change of scenery or like getting out of the house if they primarily work from home. Some people find this helps them to feel more creative or interested in their work or feels like a reward for doing the work. Another reason is that some people also miss the social aspect of working in person and enjoying making small talk or working alongside a friend in these types of spaces. Some people, especially those who've been diagnosed with ADHD, benefit from being in a space where others are also working, even if they're not interacting with those people. It actually helps them to focus and be more productive when they can see others working. If you're interested in learning more about that, you can read about the concept of body doubling, which describes this in more detail. So with those reasons in mind, let's go over some of the appropriate etiquette for working in a public place. You might think these etiquette tips about working in an American public space are obvious, but after you spend a fair amount of time in a coffee shop, you'll see that many people never get this advice or blatantly ignore it. So let's spend some time stating what feels like the obvious, especially for people who might not be familiar with American customs and behaviors. First, if you're spending time in a business, you need to order, and if you're in America, you should at least leave a small tip. If you're staying more than an hour or so, you should probably order more than once. For example, if you're spending an afternoon working in a coffee shop, you can start with a plain coffee and then after a couple of hours order another cup or a snack. You're essentially renting their space at their expense, so you shouldn't be there all day after buying only a $2 cup of coffee (or worse yet, nothing at all). Another important factor is to have realistic expectations. Coffee shops are primarily places for people to eat and gather, so you can't be upset when people do just that. These spaces are not designed to be workspaces and you have to adjust your expectations about the noise and activity level. It might be tempting to ask that table of high school girls to be quieter or the toddler across the room to stop running about, but that's not your job and it's not appropriate of you to ask that of strangers in a place where people come for conversation. If you truly need quiet space, many libraries have designated quiet areas and larger cities usually have rentable coworking spaces designated for just working. And if you are going to the library, remember that the library doesn't cost you anything as opposed to a coffee shop or a coworking space. Also, don't hog space. If the establishment is absolutely packed and there are no available tables, it's not good etiquette to take up an entire table for hours on end. Try to choose a lower traffic shop if this is something that you regularly observe happening in your preferred one or come in outside of peak hours. Likewise, it's generally considered impolite in America to use your belongings to hold the table more than a minute or two. And if, depending on where you are in the country, if you leave your belongings at the table for too long without being there to attend them, there's a fair chance that something's going to get stolen. It's also a good idea to have some situational awareness about cords and not being a tripping hazard. If you're using a charger, make sure the cord isn't going into an employee space like the condiment bar or causing a tripping hazard for others. Likewise, make sure that your bags are also situated on the floor in such a way that others won't easily trip on them or have to step over them. Another point is no pacing. Many of us like to pace while working or thinking, but that's generally considered annoying or even unsettling and threatening in a public space like a coffee shop or a library or a waiting room. [As for] making noise, how appropriate it is to take a video or a phone call will depend greatly on your environment. Some coffee shops have many people working and it's normal there. In a small town coffee shop where the locals gather to talk about the forecast or local news or the local parade at great length, it's most likely going to be inappropriate or annoy other people. If you're taking calls or on video meetings, be sure to learn what settings on your devices and software minimize background noise and amplify your speaking voice so those on the other side of the line can hear you more clearly and not be bothered by all the noise in the background. This will also minimize how loudly you need to talk in order to be heard clearly, and a good headset can definitely help you with that. Another seemingly obvious thing that needs to be said is that you should bring headphones if you're going to be listening to music or watching videos. At my last gym (before I left for another, better gym), there was an elderly man who frequently would come to use the elliptical, put his phone on the console, and then watch various Facebook AI slop videos at maximum volume. It was really quite annoying and is part of the reason I no longer go to that gym. So don't be that person and make sure if you're listening to music while you're working in public, bring headphones. And finally, be nice. If you're spending a significant amount of time in a space like a coffee shop, it's important to be a good customer and to maintain a positive relationship with those people working there. Be polite, but don't take up the workers' time with excessive conversation. Of course, what is excessive is wholly subjective. If you're the only one there and they're totally bored, it's polite to have a little conversation but if there's 15 people in line behind you, it's probably best to move along. Clean up your messes and leave a few minutes before closing time so they don't have to kick you out. I used to work in retail many years ago, and I'm sure many of you either have worked or continue to work in retail or some form of food service and we all know that one of the most annoying things is a customer who refuses to leave when it's closing time or the guy who comes in five minutes before closing time and orders a huge meal. Don't be that guy. Now with all those etiquette points out of the way, you're ready to work. Here are some other considerations for working in this space like a coffee shop. Supplies [like] noise canceling headphones or noise reducing earplugs might be helpful for you, especially if you're sensitive to loud noises like an espresso machine being cleaned or as we mentioned before, loud conversations. A good headset if you are taking video calls might be invaluable. A privacy screen is a good idea for a laptop if you're working with sensitive information or don't want people reading over your shoulder. The most common ones are fairly inexpensive and are easy to remove when you no longer need to use it. For myself, I've never used that one, but I never look at sensitive information on my laptop in public, which we'll get to later. I suppose the only awkward thing is if someone's reading over my shoulder and I'm writing a scene like where Talembur beheads an orc with a two-handed blow and the head rolls away in a fountain of gore. That might be off-putting to people, but they shouldn't be reading my laptop screen anyway. A portable charger for your laptop and other devices might be a good idea to invest in if you're frequently working in these spaces, especially since outlet availability can be very limited. We should also talk about Wi-Fi safety. If you connect to the Wi-Fi in a public place like a coffee shop or a library, there are risks associated with that. Here are some basic things you can do to minimize your risks. Turn off auto connect to Wi-Fi and disable network discovery. That way if there are any malicious actors or devices on that network that will make it slightly harder for them to get to your laptop. Consider using a VPN to encrypt data sent from your device. Finally, more potentially sensitive tasks like shopping and online banking should wait until you're back on a more secure network. If you have a Gmail account with a two-factor authentication set up, checking your Gmail on a public Wi-Fi is probably okay. I would strongly recommend avoiding visiting any banking sites, financial sites, retirement investment sites, or shopping sites while you are on a public Wi-Fi network since there's always at least a chance someone would be able to pick up details about that from the public Wi-Fi. Another thing to consider might be groups or events where some coffee shops and libraries and other places will have events specifically for working together with a large group. If you're interested in finding like-minded people in your area, keep an eye on local events. One of the local coffee shops in my area has a writer's hour where writers are encouraged to come in and work. It also has a group that meets in the evenings during the winter to talk about writing. I mean, I've never done this myself personally, but I approve of the idea. A large city in my area frequently has occasional free silent working time meetups in a community center to accommodate people who need a quiet space to work that has free snacks and social time afterwards. So what specifically do I personally do when I need to work in public? When I work in public, I usually bring my cheapest laptop or my oldest laptop. Since I used to be an IT guy and I've been a full-time writer for a while now, I have a fair collection of older computer hardware that I really need to get rid of. One of the ones I keep around is my oldest laptop that I take out with me when I need to write in a public space. So that way, if for some reason the laptop is stolen or somehow it's damaged, like say a toddler is throwing a football in the waiting room and hits my screen dead center and shatters it. Well, annoying, but that will not be such a serious loss because it's my oldest laptop. And that way if it's stolen also, it would not be that great of a loss because it's my oldest laptop. For my concerns I mentioned earlier about Wi-Fi, I never actually connect to public Wi-Fi unless there's some sort of a pressing need like my phone isn't working, I need to look up directions for where I need to go next, that kind of thing. That's partly for security reasons like I mentioned above, and partly because having no Wi-Fi to distract me also turns out to be an excellent way to dial in and get work done. I never listen to music when I'm in public. I always listen to music or something while I'm working at home or in my home office, but I never listen to music in public just because I dislike the lack of situational awareness this brings. I mean, I don't want to be paranoid. The fact is for the most part, the United States is a very safe country. During the World Cup, you saw all these news stories about European tourists who were coming to the US for the World Cup and were worried about getting shot or getting robbed or getting blown up and then that they found that the experience was very pleasantly different from what they expected because for the most part, Americans are generally a very generous and very welcoming people. What you see on the news with the shootings and the violence and the mayhem and so forth tends to be the extreme outlier that gets exaggerated for effect for news views and news clicks. So for the most part, the United States is a very safe country. That said, mostly safe is not the same as perfectly safe, and there is still crime. The best way to avoid trouble is to make sure you're not involved or anywhere near trouble by maintaining situational awareness. So that's one reason I don't like to listen to music when I'm in a waiting room or in a coffee shop or something is because even though I'm focused on my work, I can still maintain a degree of situational awareness. So if I see something going south, I can react to it and clear the area or pay attention to a potential situation that's going on. Not that that's happened more than a few times in the decades I've been doing this, but it's still a good idea in my opinion to have a good deal of situational awareness whenever possible. Depending on the length of the wait, I usually bring my smallest laptop case I can fit my oldest laptop into, a couple of Clif bars (which are a brand of energy bar in the US, so if I'm waiting a long time and I know I'm not getting to lunch, then I can have a quick snack), and then if I need to use the restroom, I won't leave my stuff out. What I usually do is close the laptop, put it in the bag, and then take it with me to the restroom and then come back out and either take my old seat if it hasn't been taken or find a new one. That way it just minimizes the risk of theft of leaving a laptop unattended. Despite all that, I have written a fair chunk of many of my books in waiting rooms. I remember once I had to take my car in for a fairly serious repair, and I wrote something like 9,000 words of Ghost in the Winds while I was waiting for that repair. So that was a major productivity leap, and I got my car repaired and then [laughs] publishing Ghost in the Winds helped pay for that very serious car repair. So although you might not be elegantly writing poetry in a beautiful notebook like you imagined, writing in a coffee shop or a similar space can be pleasant and help you to feel a greater enjoyment or even productivity in your work. If you keep all these tips in mind, hopefully you have an enjoyable and productive experience. So that is it for this week. Thank you for listening to The Pulp Writer Show.

A groundbreaking study from Iran tracked over sixteen hundred pregnant women and found a direct dose-response relationship between cell phone use and pregnancy loss. Every additional minute of daily cell phone exposure increased miscarriage risk by point six percent. In this episode, I break down what researchers discovered when they followed pregnant women for four years, measuring their real-world exposure to cell phones, cordless phones, and Wi-Fi. The findings add crucial evidence to growing concerns about electromagnetic field exposure during pregnancy -- and what you can do about it. In This Episode How researchers tracked EMF exposure in over sixteen hundred pregnant women from twenty fifteen to twenty nineteen The specific dose-response relationship between cell phone call duration and miscarriage risk Why cordless phones also showed concerning effects on newborn birth weight One simple action pregnant women can take today to reduce exposure Featured Study Read the full study: The association of widely used electromagnetic waves exposure and pregnancy and birth outcomes in Yazd women: a cohort study See all studies at shieldyourbody.com/research

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 8-06-2026: >ul> An emailer with persistent nine-month nerve damage in her right leg after a hysterectomy asks whether peptides could help. Dr. Dawn attributes the injury to lithotomy positioning during surgery, then reviews the main nerve-regeneration candidates in the FDA peptide review pipeline: BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound, strong rat data on sciatic nerve recovery with thicker myelin sheaths), intracellular sigma peptide (targets glial scar CSPGs blocking CNS regrowth), C3 peptide 156-181, GHK-Cu (copper peptide, upregulates nerve growth factor and neurotrophin-3), self-assembling hydrogel scaffolds for bridging nerve gaps, ARA-290/cibinetide (an erythropoietin fragment with early small fiber neuropathy trial data), and Semax (used internationally for stroke rehab). She adds standard functional-medicine adjuncts: alpha-lipoic acid, methylated B12, and methylfolate at high doses for six months. An emailer asks about safe features when buying an infrared sauna. Dr. Dawn covers three concerns: EMF exposure (look for shielded/grounded heaters testing under 1 milligauss at seat level, avoid unshielded Wi-Fi and Bluetooth panels); VOC off-gassing (avoid plywood, particle board, and MDF because of formaldehyde and benzene release, and avoid Western red cedar and pine because of high terpene emissions and instead choose poplar, basswood, or eucalyptus); and avoid built-in oxygen ionizers, which produce ozone as a coronal-discharge byproduct that irritates airways and generates secondary oxygenated VOCs. Dr. Dawn covers the surprisingly long list of medications that raise estrogen in middle-aged men—including nearly all antidepressants and antiepileptics, statins, NSAIDs (specifically naproxen and indomethacin but not ibuprofen), most blood pressure medications, PPIs, H2 blockers, Parkinson's drugs, antihistamines, and muscle relaxants. She recommends annual monitoring of the estrogen-to-testosterone ratio and offers rebalancing options: topical chrysin (blocks aromatization), indole-3-carbinol, calcium D-glucarate (blocks enterohepatic estrogen recirculation), soy (competitive receptor inhibition), and grape skin extract. The first mRNA-based flu vaccine was approved this week for adults 50 and over. Beyond the 27% improvement in seasonal efficacy over conventional shots, the strategic advantage is manufacturing speed. This will be critical when or if bird flu mutates to respiratory human transmission. Since mRNA vaccine can be reprogrammed from a new viral sequence in weeks versus the three-to-four-month growth cycle for conventional flu vaccines, rapid response can save lives. But mRNA vaccine side effects include more injection-site pain and fatigue - more like a tetanus shot than a traditional flu shot.. A Spanish prospective study of chemicals affected puberty in the young studied 500 girls followed from ages 7-10 and again at 14-16 used urine chemical measurements as objective exposure markers rather than food diaries. Ethylenethiourea, a metabolite of dithiocarbamate fungicides used heavily on strawberriess,was associated with earlier menarche, while a chlorpyrifos metabolite was associated with delayed menarche. this latter effect was more pronounced in overweight girls whose fat tissue concentrated the compound. Dr. Dawn recommends organic strawberries and keeping children away from fumigated fields. University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine researchers developed a chewing gum from lablab beans containing the natural antiviral protein FRIL, which reduced oral HPV by up to 93% in samples from head and neck squamous cell carcinoma patients. The gum also suppressed Fusobacterium nucleatum and Porphyromonas gingivalis, oral bacteria that promote cancer recurrence. Michigan State University's Hamburger lab studying delphinium (larkspur) alkaloids joined forces with Tomáš Pluskal's Czech Academy of Sciences lab studying wolfsbane (monkshood) after meeting at a Barcelona conference. Together they mapped the biosynthetic assembly line for aconite—an alkaloid with valuable applications against malaria, pain, cancer, and agricultural pests but impossibly slow to extract from source plants—and cloned the pathway into tobacco, which grows aggressively and produces large quantities of the compound. An emailer named in the message asks about an incidentally-discovered enlarged aorta on CT. Dr. Dawn notes it officially becomes an aneurysm at 4 cm (annual monitoring) or 5 cm (six-month monitoring), with smoking cessation critical since tobacco directly weakens the aortic wall. She describes the "zipper of fire" back pain of dissection versus catastrophic rupture, and notes Medicare covers a one-time screening ultrasound for ever-smokers over 65.

This is our 100th riff session! To celebrate, we're including this sentence announcing our 100th riff session! The conversation starts with an unexpectedly serious debate over the difference between tin whistles, recorders, and the people who insist on using the correct musical terminology, revealing that musicians have an entire vocabulary devoted to preventing anyone from casually calling the wrong instrument a flute. That attention to detail quickly collides with stories about orchestras, concert etiquette, and the realization that some instruments carry far more cultural prestige than others, despite all of them ultimately requiring someone to blow into them. From there, the focus shifts behind the curtain of television and concert auditions, where the advertised search for raw talent turns out to involve a surprising amount of pre-screening, strategic casting, and carefully managed storytelling. Then into memories of buying concert tickets before everything moved online. Waiting in line becomes its own form of live theater, producing strange conversations, questionable life decisions, and the shared optimism that standing outside for hours is perfectly reasonable if it eventually leads to decent seats. The same perspective extends to modern stage productions, where even legendary bands rely on lighting, effects, and carefully engineered spectacle that is seems to treat music as kind of an afterthought. The discussion eventually drifts back to childhood, when entertainment required little more than a box containing pickup sticks, a Spirograph, or some other object that encouraged creativity instead of software updates. Those toys become reminders that entire afternoons could disappear without batteries, Wi-Fi, or downloadable content, even if the rules occasionally ended with someone insisting everyone else was playing incorrectly.

On his intake form, he wrote one word: skeptical. By the last night of his retreat, he said something completely different. In this bonus student spotlight episode, Emily Fletcher sits down with Danny, an optometrist, father, and husband who came to Ziva Magic a self-proclaimed skeptic and left, in his own words, a believer in magic. Danny is exactly the kind of person this work is built for: logical, raised to equate happiness with achievement, and never once spiritual before this. He joined on what he calls a rather last-minute decision, simply because the message on Emily's podcast resonated. Danny shares the words that confused him at first—download, container, frequency—and how it felt to finally understand them. He describes the moment magic stopped being abstract and started showing up in a cup of tea, on a paddleboard, and playing trucks with his son. And he offers one of the clearest metaphors this show has heard for why logic alone isn't enough: a brand new laptop that never gets plugged into Wi-Fi. In this episode, Danny explores: The one word on his intake form, and the very different words he said on his last night Why he introduces himself as father, husband, optometrist, in that order Life before Ziva Magic: pure logic, no spirituality, and a constant need to do more Why the dream itself was never the point, and what it actually indicates His wife and coworkers noticing he's “happier at work now” The jargon that confused him at first, and how he'd define magic now Planting his first garden at 46, and finding actual magic in a carrot The Wi-Fi analogy: why a great brain disconnected from spirit doesn't get far Reclaiming the word pleasure, from tea to paddleboarding to playing trucks with his son Waking up the body's own internal pharmacy, without any substances Key Moments: 00:49 – His intake form: “I'm skeptical” to “I believe in magic” 02:54 – Life before Ziva Magic: pure logic, no spirituality 04:17 – Giving himself permission to ask what he actually wants 06:44 – The biggest shift: trusting things will fall into place 09:24 – The old pattern: always doing more to make his parents happy 10:00 – His wife's report: “you're happier at work now” 11:23 – The words that confused him: download, container, frequency 12:18 – Defining magic in his own words 15:24 – Planting his first garden, and finding magic in a carrot 18:58 – The Wi-Fi analogy: a great laptop that was never plugged in 21:27 – Reclaiming pleasure in tea, paddleboarding, and playing trucks with his son 22:47 – Waking up the internal pharmacy, and the lizard brain ✨ The Ziva Experience is open for enrollment.

Bobby has a warning on why you should be careful connecting to hotel Wi-Fi. Bobby shared what sports team he is now a season ticket holder for a very odd reason. He then puts out an open offer for $10,000 and might be his craziest proposal yet. Bobby questions Amy on content she's been watching lately that seems out of character. Bobby asks her if she's watching all of these things with a new guy or she's really just watching them all on her own. It does lead us into a huge discussion on whether A.I. will become its own race.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
