The main event is Lex Luger vs. Barry Windham for the vacant World Championship in a Steel Cage Match. Other matches include Rick Steiner vs. Arn Anderson and Paul E.

It's time to break down a first-place team that is exceeding all expectations. What has gone right? And what could go wrong? The Athletic's Sahadev Sharma and Patrick Mooney have it all covered, from Kyle Tucker being better than advertised to Pete Crow-Armstrong turning into a star. The offense is a juggernaut while the pitching staff is the obvious area to upgrade at the trade deadline. In any event, the Cubs can deliver a fun summer, and Wrigleyville will be rocking.Buy or sell your next car today at CarGurus.com and make sure your big deal is the best deal.Go to SpotandTango.com/foul and use code foul to get 50% off your first order.

Kevin Nash is not manning the grill this Memorial Day—he's lighting up the mic. In this week's episode, Kev and Sean chop it up over NBA playoff chaos, post-streaming residual despair, and what happens when you trust a 19-year-old with your house (spoiler: you shouldn't). If you've ever wondered how to fix a double knockdown in a wrestling match, why Logan Paul still hasn't figured out pacing, or which luggage brand survives airport abuse, Big Kev has thoughts. Lots of them. Some rants, some philosophy, all gold. Sean tries to bait Kevin into grilling tips and apron-wearing fantasy scenarios. Kevin counters with grass-fed burgers, George Foreman realism, and a rock-solid “hell no.” Also: someone wants to know if Tony Khan is a crackhead. Kevin's answer is...complicated. We get another dose of "Dear Sexy," a series of real-life letters answered with Nash logic. This time it involves house-sitting betrayals and surprise parties that aren't so surprising. One thing's clear—Kevin may not be on the road like he used to, but his takes still travel. From international breakfasts to AEW barbs and WrestleMania venue rumors, this episode doesn't coast. It sprints. Catch it now and join the 11Soft Club before someone else wipes their ass with your bank statement.

It's also a sign of an organization that has evolved on the pitching side, and executed a deliberate plan to get Horton back on track after a disappointing 2024 season. Listen now for a complete breakdown on Horton, who might be the team's best pitching prospect in a generation.Buy or sell your next car today at CarGurus.com and make sure your big deal is the best deal.

This week on Kliq This, Kevin Nash and Sean Oliver crack open the story of Paul Levesque — not just the wrestler, but the executive, the visionary, the man steering WWE through its post-Vince era. This isn't your typical Triple H retrospective. It's a candid, insider look at how Paul went from riding in the car with the Kliq to running the most powerful wrestling company in the world. And trust us — the way Kevin tells it, you'll never look at an entrance, a storyline, or a WrestleMania moment the same way again. Kevin opens up like only a peer and friend of 30 years can, walking listeners through Paul's evolution: from the young guy learning the business on the road to the architect of WWE's current creative flow. There's real admiration here, but also nuance — like how Paul delegates, who actually shapes what we see on TV, and what happens when the perfect plan falls flat between the writers' room and the ring. It's a conversation about power, performance, and the responsibility that comes with building something that millions of people care about. This episode also touches on landmark moments in Triple H's journey: that spine-tingling 2002 MSG return, the birth of NXT as a credible counterculture brand, and the pressure of stepping into control during the company's most scandal-ridden moment. Kevin and Sean don't flinch — they talk about the McMahon family dynamic, Stephanie's quiet exit, and how Paul managed to reinvent WWE's tone without blowing it up entirely. Then, in true Kliq This fashion, things take a left turn — Kevin steps away mid-show for what Sean jokingly imagines is an emergency call with Triple H himself. That's when longtime contributor Steve Kaufmann slides into the co-host chair for the back half of the episode. The vibe gets looser, the riffs get sharper, and a surprise round of “Florida Man vs. Jersey Guy” brings the perfect mix of absurdity and sharp wit that fans love about this show. Whether you're in it for the backstage scoops, the business philosophy, or the barstool banter, this episode is one of the most well-rounded yet. It's thoughtful, funny, and full of the kind of unfiltered insight that only comes when legends reflect on other legends — with a little sarcasm, a lot of honesty, and just enough rum in the piña coladas.

This week on Kliq This, Kevin Nash and Sean Oliver find themselves smack dab in the middle of wrestling's most chaotic season — post-Mania fallout, power shifts, prime bottle proposals, and maybe even a babyface extinction event. With The Rock's latest public comments stirring speculation, Cena's heel turn drawing comparisons to the nWo era, and a few too many people tanning like it's a contact sport, Kev weighs in with zero filter and even less patience. Beyond the squared circle, the guys get real about the grind of convention weekends, the economics of fandom, and the emotional cost of being the face of a company — especially when Make-A-Wish moments collide with production schedules. Also, don't miss Nash's thoughts on the “WrestleMania Roast” transcript leak, Logan Paul's million-dollar pitch to Austin, and the dangers of letting a Gucci beanie become your entire personality. With stories from the road, jabs at posers, and reflections on legacy, this episode isn't just wrestling commentary — it's part therapy session, part roast, part wrestling gospel. And yeah… if you ever wondered what it would cost to get Kevin Nash inside a Prime bottle, you're about to find out. 00:00 KliqThisTV.com Visit www.KliqThisTV.com for bonus content, vault episodes, and more. 18:31 CarGurus ‣ #1 most visited car shopping site.

Chip Foose is a legendary designer of hot rods and concept cars. His name became famous with the hit TV show "Overhaulin'", in which they would "steal" someone's beloved project and give it the glow-up of a lifetime. The show was one of Discovery's biggest hits, lasting ten seasons, and was a predecessor to so many flip/repair shows across television. But Chip's journey began years before that and his successes have only grown since then. In this show we learn about how he became such a skilled and celebrated designer/fabricator.https://www.chipfoose.com/ Recorded April 23, 2025 Check out the full lineup and get 15 percent off your first order at TRUEWERK.com/TIRE CarGurusGo to CarGurus.com to make sure your big deal is the best deal. New merch!

Kevin Roberts with CarGurus expects auto tariffs to squeeze wallets for potential car buyers, even with Tuesday's updates on some auto tariff relief.

Jill and Tom opened the show addressing the industry confusion brought on by the recent implementation of federal import tariffs. Tom ran down a list of known carmaker reactions to the regulations. Tom followed up the tariff talk with a brief review of the 2025 BMW M35i Grand Coupe, which he described as “delightful,” but noted several tech glitches which cut into the fun.  Still in the second segment, Jill share her impressions of the all-new Pirelli Scorpion XTM off-road performance tires. In the second segment the hosts welcome Matt Smith of CarGurus.com, who shared some pointers for consumers trying to decided between buying a gas, hybrid, plug-in hybrid, or electric vehicle. This is an excellent primer for folks considering some level of electrification in their next vehicle. In the last segment Jill is subjected to a “best-selling cars by state” quiz. Tom followed the quiz with the results of an X poll he recently conducted regarding what folks listen to in the car.

But Phillip Ibrahim, CEO of Imotobank, is changing that by pioneering a new model that prioritizes transparency, convenience, and customer empowerment.When Phillip started selling cars online in 2001, he saw an opportunity to remove the unnecessary overhead costs that traditional dealerships pass onto customers. "What does this $20 million building add in value to the consumer?" he recalls asking himself. "And I couldn't answer anything positive other than the consumer has to pay for it."Fast forward to today, and Imotobank operates on a radically different model. Customers can browse, consult, and finalize their purchases through a streamlined digital experience. "Within 12 or 15 minutes, we have a computer meeting with them, we source a car if we don't have one already, and we fill the order," Phillip explains. "Five to seven days later, the car is delivered to their doorstep."Beyond convenience, Phillip's model is designed to make car buying fairer. "Most car dealers don't give that level of transparency, and we do," he says. "We share screens with customers, show them the best wholesale transactions, and explain why each option is priced the way it is." This consultative, open-book approach ensures that buyers understand what they're paying for—without the usual dealership markup games.But Imotobank's ambitions go beyond selling cars. The company is currently raising capital through a regulated investment crowdfunding campaign on Netcapital. With the funds, Phillip plans to unite 50 to 100 independent dealers under Imotobank's innovative umbrella. This will enable them to share technology, reduce costs, and provide better financing options for underserved consumers. "We want to create a captive finance company that doesn't prey on the consumer but gives them a reasonable rate," he explains.Phillip's vision for Imotobank isn't just about making car buying easier—it's about leveling the playing field for both consumers and independent dealers. "The future of the car business isn't static listings on a website," he says. "It's giving people proper advice, full transparency, and fair pricing."Traditional car dealerships have long been associated with high-pressure sales tactics and hidden fees.

"I trust that God has been good to me," he says, emphasizing that his ability to recognize new opportunities and adapt to challenges stems from this deep-seated belief. "Even if I make a mistake, He kind of fixes them up for me and makes them go more smoothly."Summary of the Superpower:Phillip's faith-driven mindset has allowed him to embrace risk and innovation with confidence. He describes his superpower as recognizing opportunities and having the courage to pursue them. "I'm the product of two engineers, and I ended up having two kids who are both studying mechanical engineering. My superpower is recognizing interesting and new things, being totally unafraid to try them." His faith acts as a guiding force, allowing him to navigate uncertainty with trust rather than fear.Illustrative Story:One of the most defining moments of Phillip's career came when he was at the peak of his business in 2006, selling 100 cars a month on eBay. "I never thought we were going anywhere but up," he recalls. However, a sudden system failure shut down all of his eBay accounts overnight, leaving his business with no foundation. The collapse was financially and emotionally devastating. "I had a $2 million local line of credit, a mortgage, and was charging $350,000 a month on my Amex card. Imagine how it felt to come crashing down." Instead of giving up, Phillip leaned on his faith. "I prayed, and I felt an epiphany: If I put all my energy into building something new and great, it would be far more productive than fighting the past." This resilience allowed him to rebuild his business into the innovative Imotobank model that is thriving today.Tips for Developing This Superpower:Trust in the Process: Be open to new opportunities and trust that challenges will lead to growth.Embrace Failure as a Lesson: View setbacks as stepping stones rather than roadblocks.Take Calculated Risks: Fear often holds people back from innovation—push past hesitation with confidence.Stay Rooted in Your Values: Whether faith-based or principle-driven, let your core beliefs guide decisions.Focus on Building, Not Fighting: Energy spent on creation is always more valuable than energy spent on conflict.By following Phillip Ibrahim's example and advice, you can make faith-driven innovation a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

As part of the inaugural Automotive Intelligence Awards, Cherokee Media Group is honoring a select group of outstanding auto industry analysts for their contribution to the knowledge base of the used-car retail, finance and remarketing industries. To conclude our series of podcasts with these first-ever honorees in the Automotive Intelligence Awards: Industry Analysts program, we talk with Kevin Roberts, director of economic and market intelligence at CarGurus. Roberts, who is from Detroit, has a deep family background in automotive. His great-grandfather worked at Willys-Overland Motors in Toledo, Ohio — "that was Jeep before Jeep," he said — and that tradition of working in the car business continued over three more generations. Combine that with his love of math and economics, and being an auto analyst was a "natural fit" for Roberts. He shares that story and more in our conversation.

Shoot us a Text.Today is our fearless leader Paul J Daly's birthday! So we gave him the morning off and tapped in producer Nathan Southwick. We're talking all about the new Canada and Mexico tariffs that put pressure on the automotive supply chains, plus the top depreciating cars and how Google is pushing to achieve artificial general intelligence.Show Notes with links:The U.S. has enacted 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico, throwing the highly integrated North American production network into turmoil.The tariffs, effective today, March 4, apply to all imports except Canadian energy products, which face a lower 10% duty. Canada and Mexico both responded with their own tariffs.Industry experts predict vehicle prices could rise between $4,000 and $10,000, with Ford CEO Jim Farley cautioning that prolonged tariffs could "blow a hole in the U.S. industry that we have never seen."Flavio Volpe, president of the Automotive Parts Manufacturers' Association said that there is potential for U.S. and Canadian auto production to revert to "2020 pandemic-level idling and temporary layoffs within the week.”Key auto models at risk include the Toyota RAV4, Ford Mustang Mach-E, Chevrolet Equinox and Blazer, and the Honda Civic and CR-V, while European automakers with manufacturing in Mexico, including Volkswagen, Stellantis, and BMW, saw their stocks drop sharplyThe STOXX Europe 600 Automobiles and Parts index fell 3.8% and Continental AG, a major supplier, saw an 8.4% drop in shares.Used Tesla Model 3 and Model Y vehicles saw the steepest depreciation of any cars in 2024, according to Fast Company's analysis of CarGurus data.Model Y prices dropped 25.5%, while Model 3 prices fell 25% from January 2024 to January 2025.Comparatively, the Nissan Maxima only dropped 5.2%, and the Ford Mustang declined 5%.Full Top 10: Tesla Model Y, Tesla Model 3, Land Rover Range Rover, Jeep Wrangler 4xe, Chevrolet Express Cargo, Ford Transit Connect, RAM ProMaster, Land Rover Range Rover Sport, Chevrolet Bolt EV, and Ford Expedition, all with over 19% depreciationGoogle co-founder Sergey Brin is back and pushing Google DeepMind (GDM) teams to accelerate their progress toward Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). In a newly released memo, Brin outlines the urgency and expectations for Google's AI teams.Brin emphasizes the need for 60-hour work weeks, daily office attendance, and faster execution by prioritizing simple solutions, code efficiency, and small-scale experiments for faster iteration.He calls for a shift away from “nanny products” and urges teams to “trust our users” more.Brin, who has no formal role at Google beyond a board seat, stepped in over the head of Google DeepMind, Demis Hassabis, signaling the urgency of the AGI race."I think we have all the ingredients to wHosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email

Business Insider dives deep into this obsession by analyzing 1.7 million listings on CarGurus to reveal surprising trends.America has the most cars per capita, and it defines much of our culture.Data shows that car choices reflect identity, financial status, and even political leanings.For instance: The top five most Democratic vehicles are the Toyota Prius, Audi A4, Kia EV6, Acura TL, and Jeep Commander. Meanwhile, the top five most Republican vehicles are the Jeep Wrangler, Jeep Gladiator, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Ford F-150, and Honda Odyssey.The Business Insider series also covers how car color has changed over the years with over 80% of cars now being black, white or gray and what are the most popular makes and models in different regions, A recent analysis by Edmunds reveals a sharp increase in negative equity among U.S. car buyers, with more people finding themselves upside down on their car loans than ever before.In Q3 2024, 24.2% of all vehicle trade-ins had negative equity, up from 18.5% of Q3 2023, with the average owed amount of $6,458 up from $5,808 in Q3 2023.Over 22% of consumers with negative equity are underwater by more than $10,000, with 7.5% owing $15,000 or more.The problem spans all vehicle types, with midsize SUVs (19.5%), compact SUVs (17.3%), and large trucks (10.3%) making up the largest share of trade-ins with negative equity."It's easy to assume that only specific consumers trading in higher-ticket luxury vehicles are the ones underwater on their car loans, but the reality is that this is a problem across the board," said Ivan Drury, Edmunds' director of insights.Sam's Club is introducing a groundbreaking, all-digital shopping experience with its newest store in Grapevine, Texas.

Shoot us a Text.It's a wheels up Wednesday as we're celebrating with Carter Myers Automotive at their 100th Anniversary Gala. We also dive into the rise of affordable new vehicles, AI's game-changing role in EV battery safety, and the growing frustration of U.S. shoppers facing shrinkflation.Show Notes with links:New data suggests lower-priced vehicles are surging in popularity despite the average price of new cars remaining high. Buyers are acting fast before affordable models disappear, with notable increases in sub-$20,000 cars.Kia Forte sales rose by 6%, Nissan Versa by 64%, and Mitsubishi Mirage by an incredible 114%, even though the Mirage is set to be discontinued.Vehicles priced between $20,000 and $30,000 saw nearly 44% growth in sales during Q3.Meanwhile, luxury cars priced at $100,000 or more saw a sharp decline, with sales plummeting 46% in the past 9 months.Kevin Roberts from CarGurus says consumers are becoming more cautious due to economic uncertainty, high interest rates, and elevated vehicle prices.Technology firms are racing to tackle EV battery defects with the help of artificial intelligence. AI models are dramatically speeding up quality checks, helping identify potential issues before they lead to costly or dangerous outcomes.UnitX's AI tools scan cells in 3.5 seconds, compared to 5 minutes for human operators, allowing labor to be reassigned.Richard Ahlfeld of Monolith says AI can halve battery testing time, while Nio Europe is leveraging AI to accelerate battery development.SES AI is using AI models to map new molecules, potentially revolutionizing material discovery for future EV batteries.Patrick Hertzke of McKinsey notes that improving battery chemistry, like pharmaceuticals, takes time but holds tremendous potential for the future.A new LendingTree study reveals just how widespread shrinkflation is in the U.S., with many products shrinking in size while prices stay the same—or even rise—leaving consumers to pay more for less.31% of the 98 supermarket products studied have shrunk over the last four years.Paper products like toilet paper were the most affected, with 60% shrinking since 2019.Charmin Ultra Strong rolls shrank by 15.4%, while prices per 100 sheets increased by 31.4%.Breakfast cereals and candy have also been impacted, with Reese's shrinking by 11% and its price skyrocketing by 68.2%.Matt Schulz of LendingTree notes "Shrinkflation adds insult to injury for already frustrated consumers."Hosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email

Inventory Acquisition Strategy: Develop relationships with local businesses such as motorcycle dealerships, RV dealerships, and more, to acquire vehicles through trade-ins rather than just auctions.

Bradley and Angel Gross Key Takeaways Diversify lead generation and acquisition strategies to combat slow traffic and sales. Leverage organic SEO and strategic partnerships to enhance visibility and customer flow. Invest in a robust referral network to generate consistent, high-quality leads.     The Power of Diversification in Lead Generation Independent dealerships often face the challenge of attracting sufficient traffic and generating leads. For Angel Gross and her dealership, 144 Motors in Goldsboro, North Carolina, this is a pressing issue. With a goal of increasing their monthly sales from 8-10 units to 20, diversification in lead generation strategies becomes essential. Sean V. Bradley, president of Dealer Synergy, emphasizes the need for multiple avenues to generate business opportunities. "You need leads that, like, as someone your size, you need opportunities to do business," Bradley asserts. He highlights a comprehensive approach, suggesting online classifieds like Autotrader, Cars.com, CarGurus, Kelley Blue Book, and Edmunds. These platforms offer inventory-based opportunities by syndicating your listings, exploiting the SEO potential through Vehicle Display Pages (VDPs), and driving traffic directly to your dealership's website. However, Bradley also warns of the high costs associated with these services, which may not be cost-effective for smaller dealerships. For instance, Autotrader could charge up to $10,000 a month for their 'bells and whistles,' an investment that may be unrealistic for independent dealerships with limited budgets. Therefore, evaluating each service's cost-benefit ratio is crucial.     The Strategic Use of Organic SEO and Partnerships In the digital age, having a robust online presence goes beyond just having a website. For 144 Motors, Bradley suggests focusing on making their digital footprint more effective through organic SEO and strategic content creation. He advises against over-reliance on paid Google Ads, which are not cost-effective given their low click-through rates. Bradley emphasizes, "You should have a website that is designed the right way for your small business… focused on organic search engine optimization." This involves optimizing content on the dealership's website, such as creating dedicated pages for special financing and bad credit solutions. These pages can significantly improve organic search rankings, making it easier for potential customers to find the dealership. Moreover, Bradley champions leveraging strategic partnerships with local businesses to enhance visibility and generate leads. Establishing relationships with motorcycle dealerships, RV dealerships, and power sports dealerships can create a mutually beneficial arrangement where both parties profit from referrals and trade-ins. For instance, dealerships might receive vehicles that motorcycle dealers do not want to keep, thus broadening their inventory without the high costs associated with auctions and transportation. Bradley states, "The auction is the worst thing for you guys." He explains that buying cars directly from local businesses or the public provides a more cost-effective and sustainable solution. By focusing on relationships and building a localized network, dealerships can secure better inventory while reducing operational costs.     Building a Robust Referral Network Referral networks can be a game-changer for independent dealerships, creating a sustainable flow of high-quality leads. Bradley passionately believes in investing in a robust referral program that motivates individuals to bring potential buyers. "You have got to develop a referral network… I don't know if I'm going to break my neck for $200. But you're telling me I can make $700 by giving these people two deals?" Bradley's insight underscores the need for substantial financial incentives to compel potential referrers to actively participate in the program. To illustrate, Bradley suggests targeting individuals with significant social reach, such as bartenders, tattoo artists, waiters, and other local business employees who interact with numerous people daily. These individuals can act as ‘informants' who bridge the gap between the dealership and potential buyers. By offering higher referral fees, even on a temporary basis, dealerships can stimulate interest and increase the volume of qualified leads.     Through diversification in lead generation, strategic SEO use, local partnerships, and a robust referral network, independent dealerships like 144 Motors can navigate slow sales periods and reach their sales goals. By integrating these approaches, the potential for sustainable growth and market presence becomes more attainable, ensuring the dealership's long-term success. Engaging in continuous assessment and adaptation of these strategies will keep the dealership ahead in a competitive market, driving consistent customer traffic and sales.

We're back in the studio on this last Friday in Q3 as we give an accusatory UAW Update, discuss a new WSJ report on third party listing sites, and count down the 20 best US cities for coffee drinkers. Show Notes with links:UAW President Shawn Fain accused General Motors  and Stellantis of "enabling" violence against striking union workers by allegedly hiring "scab contractors as he highlighted three instances of violence and intimidation towards striking union workers, notably a hit-and-run at a GM facility in Flint, Michigan, which left five individuals injured.The Wall Street Journal reported that GM plans to use salaried workers for parts shipments, while Stellantis has stored a month's worth of inventory for various parts, raising questions about their approach during the strike.Denied hiring replacement workers and expressed concern over certain UAW members' conduct on the picket lines. Stellantis further criticized Fain's "misleading and inflammatory statements" and urged for peace and de-escalation.GM: Reacted to the Flint incident by stating that the suspect, from an external housekeeping company, had been barred from company grounds. GM emphasized its commitment to the safety of all employees and said they were cooperating with authorities investigating the hit-and-run.Shawn Fain is set to give a video address at 10 a.m. ET on Friday and may announce walkouts at more Detroit Three auto factories, depending on the outcome of ongoing negotiations.As the impact of the UAW strikes are yet to be realized, a new Wall Street Journal article highlights the shifting dynamics in the auto retail sector from a sellers to a buyers market. As inventory and choice have expanded, and consumers are being more selective, third party car-listing platforms like CarGurus and Cars.com are poised for significant growth opportunities.The online platforms are essential for dealers as a majority of consumers now research car purchases online. An equity analyst at UBS reports that Cars.com claims about half of the 40,000 U.S. dealerships list on its site, while CarGurus had over 24,000 paying dealers by the end of 2022.In last week's earnings call, CARS CEO Alex Vetter said dealers are turning to their platform to give increased exposure to units that aren't selling quickly and at least one store interviewed by the UBS analyst said they allocate up to 50% of their total marketing spend on these platforms.Today is National Coffee Day, and a recent WalletHub report has brewed up a ranking of the best US cities for coffee lovers in 2023.
