This week, Mishaal Rahman and C. Scott Brown dive into a treasure trove of One UI 8.5 leaks, revealing a slew of new features potentially coming to the Samsung Galaxy S26, including a new "private display" mode. They also discuss Google's work on an Apple Handoff competitor for Android and evidence that a hypertension alert system is coming to the Pixel Watch.

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
