This week the boys work on their communication skills as Michael brings tales that were cut short last time due to technical difficulties. Strange towers, dumb men, and beauty standards abound, so remember: Maybe it's Maid Maleen!
We welcome back Brad Blickstein, CEO at Blickstein Group, to discuss how private equity principles may provide law firms with an alternative approach to profitability, governance, and even long-term growth. Blickstein's new book, WWPED: What Would Private Equity Do? was written to walk firms through how treating topics like pricing, technology, talent, and client relationships as part of the enterprise value instead of overhead expenses after year-end partnership distributions.Pulling from Jae Um's topics of Cream, Core, and Commodity framework, Blickstein talks about the legal work as the primary competitive battleground. Much like businesses that provide baked goods, firms have to separate the customized legal judgment from the repeatable legal processes, technology, and what alternative legal services providers offer. Law firm leaders should understand what scalable work is, begin building consistent systems to deliver that work, and truly professionalize pricing over relying upon what a partner's gut tells them.We also cover the Blickstein Group's 2026 Law Firm COO Survey where technology adoption and investment ranks as the leading strategic initiative with 38.1% identified practice silos as the largest structural issue and 27% of COOs listed lack of operational authority as another prime issue. COOs are struggling with being tasked with modernizing law firms, but not given the authority to actually overcome the base issues of decentralized partnerships, competing incentives, and overall firm political structures.Add AI into the mix, and the pricing question becomes even more important. Some two-thirds of the COOs surveyed confessed that they were not formally measuring any return on investment (ROI) in which they could later measure any law productivity or direct revenue increases. Blickstein points out that faster work in a billable hour model is not the type of math that law firms want to calculate, and that firms have to address this directly and redesign their overall pricing model on value received by the client, not hours worked by the lawyers. We all discuss the issues of alternative fee arrangements (AFAs) have face in the more than 30 years since Blickstein originally published an article titled "Alternative Billing Making a Comeback." AFAs bring with it issues of shadow billing, client trust factors, and the need to express value not tied to the amount to time spent on the work.We also break down the corporate buyer side and address the Blickstein Group's 18th Annual Law Department Operations Survey which identifies AI pilot projects in corporate legal departments, but very few operational deployments. These may be tied to the long running issue of poor data hygiene along with business objectives that are not clearly tied to overall corporate strategy.Brad gets to be one of the first to answer our new question of "what's true today that wasn't true a year ago?" A nice lead in to our Crystal Ball question. We cover AI token pricing and having to compete with the new "AI native firms" that are spinning up from former BigLaw partners.Listen on mobile platforms: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube | Substack[Special Thanks to Legal Technology Hub for their sponsoring this episode.]Email: geekinreviewpodcast@gmail.comMusic: Jerry David DeCiccaBlickstein GroupWWPED: What Would Private Equity Do?2026 Law Firm COO Survey findingsLaw Department Operations SurveyCream, Core, and Commodity legal-work frameworkLegaltech Hub: The Arithmetic of AI, Tokens and Claude in Legal WorkLegaltech Hub: Five Prompting Habits Costing You Tokens and AccuracyLegora introduces consumption-based pricingKirkland & Ellis and its $500 million AI investmentAnthropic Claude CodeLINKSTranscript:

The Volatility Nomad returns! On this episode of Volatility Views, Mark Longo and Dr. Russell Rhoads welcome back Michael Listman, aka UVXY Trader, who joins the show from the UK after months of trading his way across Europe. The crew breaks down another wild week for the volatility markets, including the brief VIX spike above 20, the post-Fed volatility collapse, a surprisingly subdued VIX futures curve, and whether the market is becoming a little too comfortable heading into the fall. Michael also takes us inside life as a traveling volatility trader and explains how being a "volatility nomad" has changed his approach to risk and position management. We dig into his current strategies involving UVXY, SVIX and VXX, seasonality in volatility ETPs, longer-dated positions, pair trades, short straddles and more. Plus, we examine the latest unusual VIX options activity, including some truly extreme upside strikes, revisit Russell's Microsoft earnings trade, and peer into the Crystal Ball for where VIX could be headed next.

This week on Swimming with Allocators, returning guest Chris Schelling of Aksia joins Earnest Sweat and Alexa Binns to unpack how AI, private markets, and the wealth channel are evolving. They discuss where AI may already be in bubble territory, how it's reshaping SaaS, services, and investment processes (including AI “agents” on investment committees), and why some SaaS and low-value information services are most at risk. Chris explains Aksia research-driven approach across private equity, private credit, real assets, and hedge funds, and shares why he's skeptical of layered SPV “sandwiches” and headline-driven fear around private credit. The conversation explores the democratization of alternatives for wealthy clients, the role of content as a strategic edge for allocators, challenges in structuring venture access products, and why early-stage technical venture and quantum computing are compelling. Chris closes with advice for newer professionals: in a world of AI tools, differentiated relationships, networks, and deep domain expertise matter more than ever. Also, Nick Cassin explains how Sidley's secondary practice spans multiple asset classes and deal types, highlights the growing role of secondaries in venture (including GP‑leds and LP trades), and shares how Sidley's breadth, commercial mindset, and experience help clients navigate complex liquidity and continuation vehicle structures.

Cowboys Crystal Ball is back! Paul, Mike "The Pig" Crum, and Brenden "Fergy" Smith break down the next four games on the Cowboys' 2026 slate. First up, the Buccaneers come to town: is Baker Mayfield underrated, and is there ANY area where Tampa has the edge on Dallas? Then it's a trip to Lambeau, where the crew debates which playoff loss hurts more — 2016 or 2023 — and whether the Packers are still a threat without Josh Jacobs and Micah Parsons. Next, the big one: Cowboys at Eagles. Did Philly do enough to stay on top of the NFC East, and how much of an edge does Christian Parker give Dallas in this matchup? Finally, the Cardinals — a team that's somehow gone 5-1 against Dak's Cowboys — roll into AT&T Stadium with rookie Jeremiah Love and a retooled offense. Plus, each game gets the full treatment: NFL rankings, one player we'd steal for the Cowboys, and our winner picks. We close it out with a record recap, circled games, playoff talk, and Super Bowl predictions. All that and more on part two of Cowboys Crystal Ball!Do you want to start your own podcast?

TPCCafe Radio Presents Classic Comedy, Ozzie and Harriet: Crystal Ball. This episode was provided by the Old Time Radio Researchers Group. www.otrr.org
You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for July 10, 2026. We open with a Senate map conversation nobody on the left wants to have — Democrats need to win every single toss-up race in November to take control of the chamber, while Republicans need only one. We walk through the Cook Political Report and Sabato's Crystal Ball projections, the four toss-up races that will decide everything — Alaska, Maine, Michigan, Ohio, and North Carolina — and why Republican overconfidence is still premature even with the structural advantage. We also explain why Graham Plattner's implosion in Maine may not be the gift Republicans assumed it was, why Roy Cooper is very likely to pick up North Carolina, and why Ken Paxton is making a race in Texas far closer than it has any business being. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, President Trump refused to sign the bipartisan housing bill — saying he won't put pen to paper until Congress passes the SAVE Act — but the bill will become law without his signature anyway, and House Republicans plan to celebrate its passage regardless. Then Trump fired the remaining members of the Election Assistance Commission, citing the Seila Law decision as precedent and issuing a statement that the president reserves the right to remove individuals not fully aligned with the task of securing America's elections. And eight men from across the country — Ohio, Nebraska, Missouri, Washington, California, and West Virginia — have been indicted for plotting a drone and sniper attack on the UFC fight at the White House lawn, with all eight now arrested and facing life in prison. We also cover Joy Behar warning that President Trump is practically destroying democracy — and we note that the one place in America where a democratic election result was genuinely made null and void was the 2024 Democratic presidential primary, where Kamala Harris never won a single vote outside the convention floor. The Democrat Party is the party of projection. Whatever they accuse you of doing, they have already done. Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson answer a listener question about Type 1 and Type 2 fun — and the conversation becomes a beautiful tribute to feral childhood. Type 1 fun is a roller coaster — thrilling in the moment, forgotten by morning. Type 2 fun is hiking in sleet, throwing rocks at alligators on the bayou, going off into the woods alone for hours while your parents had absolutely no idea where you were. The kind of fun that shapes you, scares you, and becomes the story you're still telling at 50. Teri and Kimberly worry that today's children — tracked by phones, sheltered from consequence, raised on Dateline — are growing up on Type 1 fun and missing the Type 2 experiences that built the people they became. We dig deep into California's 2022 decision to decriminalize loitering with intent to commit prostitution — signed by Governor Newsom on the grounds that 56% of those arrested were Black women, making it, in his telling, a racist law. The results, documented by City Journal and investigative journalist Abigail Schreier, are exactly what common sense predicted. Prostitution spiked immediately. Human trafficking followed. LAPD officers at the 77th Street Station rescued 123 children in 2024 — nearly eight times the number rescued in 2022, the year before the law took effect. Police now report seeing 14-year-old girls in G-strings on Los Angeles streets and having no legal authority to intervene. We make the case plainly: the left is not trying to reduce crime. It is trying to reduce the number of people arrested for crime. Those are not the same thing — and the difference is being paid for by the most vulnerable people on the streets. We also revisit a 1950 speech by Joseph McCarthy — and note that whatever his excesses, his core distinction holds up: there have always been two kinds of Democrats, the millions of loyal Americans who vote the ticket and want safe neighborhoods and stable jobs, and a small activist class that has been dragging the party toward something that looks less like democratic socialism and more like the thing McCarthy was warning about. The question in 2026 is whether that activist class is still the minority. Then it's Fake News Friday — including a California HOA fining residents for flying the American flag, activists pushing schools to teach Black English and girl math, Adam Sandler officiating Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding, a BB gun attack on a mosque that turned out to be carried out by a Muslim man, Iran threatening to kill President Trump at Khomeini's funeral, a new Broadway musical called Dolly about Dolly Parton, and CNN airing a quote from a fake congressman who runs a parody account. Justin Trudeau is now a backup dancer in a Katy Perry video. Spoilet Alert: that one's real. For our Bright Spot, weekly unemployment claims came in at 215,000 — with the January through July average of 213,000 representing the lowest sustained jobless claim numbers since 1968 and 1969, when the country had a third fewer people and the Vietnam draft was pulling hundreds of thousands of men out of the civilian workforce. We call it what it is — a labor market that is outperforming history in a country that was told it couldn't. And we close with words of wisdom on patriotism — from Calvin Coolidge, Edward Abbey, Adlai Stevenson, and Charles de Gaulle. You've got to love your country enough to tell the truth about it, defend it when it's right, and fight to make it better. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

In this episode we first kick off the Top of the T-Shirt Campaign Part Deux (!) for the Father McKenna Center and explain why matching funds, donated resources, and volunteers make every dollar go further. Then we answer emails from Aaron, Hostile Witness, and Jenzo. We discuss improving on the Permanent Portfolio , managed futures, leverage, drawdowns, and why we prefer diversification over CAPE-wearing Sonias. And THEN we our go through our weekly portfolio reviews of the eight sample portfolios you can find at Portfolios | Risk Parity Radio.Additional Links:Father McKenna Center Donation Page (please mention Risk Parity Radio in the comment section with your donation): Donate - Father McKenna CenterDon's Work at the Father McKenna Center: Ignatian Volunteer: DonAnnie's Work and the Father McKenna Center: Jesuit Volunteer Corps: AnnieAaron's Portfolio Charts Article Reference: What Global Withdrawal Rates Teach Us About Ideal Retirement Portfolios – Portfolio ChartsJenzo's Portfolio Link (2025): Portfolio Backtester for ETFs and Asset Allocation | testfolioJenzo's Crystal Ball Link (Research Affiliates): Asset AllocationBreathless AI-Bot Summary:A listener asks a deceptively simple question: if you could add just one thing to a well-built retirement portfolio, what would it be and what would you cut to make room? That question takes us from charitable giving to portfolio construction, because both are really about the same goal: getting more real-world result per unit of effort, risk, or dollars.We start by launching this year's Top of the T-Shirt campaign supporting the Father McKenna Center in Washington, DC. Two anonymous listeners have already pledged matching funds, and we break down why this charity “punches above its weight” through leverage: donated space, in-kind grocery support that includes fresh food, and a huge volunteer base that keeps overhead low. If you care about effective philanthropy, this is a concrete look at how structure and incentives can multiply impact.Then we move into listener mail on retirement portfolio design, including a modified Permanent Portfolio aimed at improving safe withdrawal rate and reducing cash drag. We explain what changes help and why, then give our one-asset-class answer: managed futures, funded by trimming gold. We also respond to an aggressive 75% stocks and 25% gold allocation, discuss drawdowns and factor tilts like small cap value, and talk through leveraged “stacked” funds. Finally, we address valuation-based “crystal ball” forecasts and why we'd rather diversify across equity styles and true diversifiers than try to time markets.If this mix of risk parity investing, retirement income strategy, and practical diversification helps you think more clearly, subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review where you listen.Support the show
Send us Fan MailCompetition is loud right now. AI tools are everywhere, content is infinite, and customer acquisition costs keep climbing. So what still works when everyone can publish, target, and “optimise”? Joeri Billast sits down with Valentina Diaco, founder and strategic business advisor in iGaming and tech, to get concrete about the lever most teams forget: the emotional driver behind why people choose you and stay with you.We talk about what Valentina sees across industries, from luxury to entertainment to iGaming marketing, and why retention is the profit engine when acquisition gets expensive. We also unpack how she designed AIMatch Sessions as a curated, non-transactional networking experience, built from real attendee challenges around AI adoption. The goal is simple: create the right conditions for meaningful conversations that turn into ideas, partnerships, and real business outcomes.Then we go deeper on AI strategy and digital leadership. “AI is not a crystal ball, it is a mirror” becomes a practical framework for keeping humans in the loop, building a living knowledge base, and orchestrating AI agents without surrendering judgment. We also explore the shift from CMO to Chief Value Officer, the balance of performance marketing with trust and responsibility in regulated markets, and blue ocean strategy for creating new categories instead of battling in crowded spaces.This episode was recorded through a Descript call on June 12, 2026.

A truly wild week in the markets culminated in the historic SpaceX IPO, sending shockwaves through the trading landscape. In this episode, host Mark Longo is joined by special guest Henry Schwartz (The Flow Master, Cboe) and Mark Sebastian (OptionPit) to break down a massive week of intraday swings and shifting volatility structures. The panel dives deep into the market mechanics behind the $75B SpaceX debut, exploring its staggering $2.2 trillion valuation, retail distribution frenzy, and what to expect when SpaceX options officially launch next Tuesday. Will implied volatility open 20–25% too rich? Could risk reversals yield massive credits for long holders? Plus, they analyze the macro picture: a potential Middle East peace deal, plummeting oil prices, shifting bond allocations, and why VIX cash flirted with a 22 handle before settling back down. The episode wraps up with a breakdown of VIX options flow (including heavy action on the June 18 puts) and a highly contested two-week Crystal Ball prediction that sees the panel split by over six points.
Send us Fan MailI am your host, Neo Griot, and this is Rational Black Thought.This week's title comes from YG's “FTP,” and the message is simple: silence is no longer an option.Not when power lies openly.Not when democracy is treated like a technicality.Not when religion is used as cover for grift.Not when Black people are told to stay calm while the machinery of suppression keeps running.So this episode is not about calming down. It is about getting serious.We are past the point where cardboard signs and polite appeals are enough. Power does not retreat because we are morally correct. Power retreats when it is confronted, exposed, organized against, and made to pay a price.Silence will not save us.Respectability will not save us.Faith in broken institutions will not save us.Only disciplined struggle builds power. So, let's get to workIntro: Quote of the Week: James Baldwin Unmasking the News: Democracy Watch: The June Primaries Are a Crystal Ball for the Midterms Trump Acts Like a Spoiled Child: The Politics of Unreality Victor Marx: False Claims and the Grift of Sacred Credibility Good News: HBCU Founders, Tech Power, and the Future of Black Innovation Strategies for Black Power: How to Fight and Defeat the Trump Coalition Reflections and Call to Action:Closing/Outro: Sources:https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/a-rare-trump-setback-a-missing-congressman-and-spencer-pratt-6-takeaways-from-the-latest-midterm-primaries?https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jun/07/trump-walks-out-meet-the-press-nbc-interview?https://coloradosun.com/2026/05/31/littwin-victor-marx-kyle-clark-interview-wins-maga-votes/?https://tech.einnews.com/pr_news/916574345/historic-first-ever-hbcu-pitch-competition-comes-to-times-square-during-ny-tech-week?Power Concedes Nothing without a Demand...
