A SpaceX-Tesla merger may happen as soon as this year, according to comments from SpaceX President and COO Gwynne Shotwell during the company's June 12 IPO day. Speaking to CNBC as SpaceX began trading on the Nasdaq at a $1.75 trillion valuation, Shotwell said a merger between Elon Musk's two trillion-dollar companies "might make Elon's life a little easier" and pointed to a "convergence" in what SpaceX and Tesla are building toward.This episode breaks down what Gwynne Shotwell actually said about the SpaceX Tesla merger, why analysts think it's now closer than ever, and what it means for Tesla shareholders. Shotwell told CNBC there are "synergies between Tesla and SpaceX in our futures, definitely," while keeping her near-term focus on rockets, Starlink, and the ISS. The quote landed on the same day SpaceX's market cap opened above $2 trillion, putting it ahead of Tesla as the sixth most valuable US company, and the same day Elon Musk became the world's first trillionaire.The financial and operational ties between SpaceX and Tesla are already deep. Tesla invested $2 billion in xAI in January 2026, a stake that converted to nearly 19 million SpaceX shares when xAI merged into SpaceX in February. SpaceX has bought $697 million worth of Tesla Megapack energy storage and $131 million in Cybertrucks. The two companies jointly run Terafab, a $55 billion chip manufacturing project with Intel that will produce silicon for robotics and space. Total Tesla sales to SpaceX and xAI since 2023 are roughly $890 million.The most telling signal is in SpaceX's S-1 filing. Days before the IPO, SpaceX amended its risk factors to add: "We may issue a significant amount of equity in connection with future transactions." That language isn't necessary for small deals. It's the kind of disclosure that anticipates a merger the size of Tesla, which currently has a market cap of about $1.52 trillion.Wall Street is already pricing in the SpaceX Tesla merger thesis. Wedbush analyst Dan Ives puts the probability at 80-90% with a likely close in the first half of 2027 and calls a combined entity the "holy grail" for Musk's control of the AI ecosystem. Wolfe Research analyst Emmanuel Rosner says the IPO has turned the merger into a "core thesis" for many Tesla investors, citing stronger AI capabilities through xAI, expanded access to capital markets, and increased Musk voting control over the combined company. Musk already holds 85% voting power at SpaceX and roughly 13% of Tesla, which could climb to 25% if his November pay package targets hit.We cover what Gwynne Shotwell's IPO day comments actually mean, why the S-1 language is the strongest signal yet, what a combined SpaceX-Tesla company looks like under Elon Musk's voting control, how the Cursor acquisition and xAI absorption fit the same M&A pattern, and whether Tesla shareholders come out ahead in a stock-for-stock deal at current valuations.Keywords: SpaceX Tesla merger, Gwynne Shotwell, Elon Musk, SpaceX IPO, SPCX stock, Tesla stock, TSLA, xAI, $1.75 trillion valuation, Wedbush Dan Ives, Wolfe Research, Terafab, Musk trillionaire, AI M&A 2026, Tesla SpaceX synergies.

On today's episode, we discuss the latest round of Tesla updates—from Glenn's Cybertruck now summoning itself in from the rain and parking neatly under his portico, to the newly unlocked “a‑hole mode” and all the juvenile branding that seems to delight Elon Musk as much as his fans. The crew then dives into SpaceX's blockbuster IPO and national‑security designation for its AI data center, talking about how that “too big to fail” status protects Musk from certain lawsuits even as 80 Texas homeowners sue over Starship launch damage. From there, they unpack the proposed Bitcoin Clarity Act, arguing over whether it represents dangerous regulation or useful “deregulation” that could let pension funds, IRAs, and treasuries safely hold crypto, and they explain why NFTs may have a second life as authenticity certificates in a world of AI‑generated fake apps and media. They also hit a string of AI stories: Anthropic allegedly logging user data against its own policies, Perplexity's sometimes‑flattering but misleading language about “keeping things in mind,” and AMD's new “AI box” hardware meant to run large models locally without constant internet access. The episode closes with a rapid‑fire look at how AI‑built interfaces could make many standalone apps obsolete, why governments are suing or shielding tech giants like OpenAI and Musk almost simultaneously, and what this all might mean for ordinary users just trying to drive their cars, protect their privacy, and not get left behind by the next software update.

Swipe right at your own risk. The dark side of modern romance has officially exploded into a global crime wave where broken hearts are the least of the casualties. In a series of shocking busts, federal authorities just dismantled a massive $15 million romance scam ring that preyed on over 100 older Americans—only for the heartless swindlers to shamelessly flaunt their stolen fortunes on social media, parading around in Lamborghinis and Cybertrucks. But the depravity didn't stop at luxury cars. A parallel crackdown on a "love scam" operation led investigators straight into a massive underground narcotics pipeline, netting a staggering 25 million baht ($680,000+) worth of illicit drugs. Meanwhile, for those looking for casual encounters, dating apps turned into absolute horror shows: a ruthless trio is now facing charges after using digital profiles to lure, brutally assault, and rob nine unsuspecting men. From multi-million dollar high-roller flexing to drug trafficking and violent honeytraps, the digital dating world has officially become a playground for the world's most dangerous opportunists.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/depraved-and-debaucherous--5267208/support.Contact KOP for professional podcast production, imaging, and web design services at http://www.kingofpodcasts.comSupport KOP by subscribing to his YouTube channel and search for King Of PodcastsFollow KOP on X and TikTok @kingofpodcasts (F Meta!)Listen to KOP's other programs, Podcasters Row… and the Wrestling is Real Wrestling Podcast and The Broadcasters Podcast.Buy KOP a Coffee https://buymeacoffee.com/kingofpodcastsDrop KOP a PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=3TAB983ZQPNVLDrop KOP a Venmo https://account.venmo.com/u/kingofpodcastsDrop KOP a CashApp https://cash.app/$kingofallpodcasts

Malik Nabers was stopped by police, but the bigger Giants story became how fast one video turned into rumor panic before the facts caught up. The gain was urgency; the sacrifice was accuracy, because the reporting later pointed to no arrest, no weapon, no citation, and a mistaken-identity situation.Follow on Spotify and leave a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts if you enjoy no-BS Giants debate.Did Giants fans overreact to the Malik Nabers police stop? Yes, the rumor cycle went too far once people started speculating about an arrest or weapon, but the initial concern was understandable because the video looked serious before the full reporting came out.Drew opens the show by separating the Malik Nabers rumor panic from the actual reporting. The discussion focuses on how quickly Giants fans and social media jumped from a police stop to worst-case speculation, even though the later reports said Nabers was allowed to leave with no arrest, no weapon found, and no citation. The episode also works in the one thing Nabers might actually be guilty of: questionable Cybertruck taste.Did OBJ say exactly what Giants fans needed to hear, or is this still just June press-conference talk?The show then circles back to Odell Beckham Jr.'s return to the Giants, including his comments about earning a roster spot and going out on his sword. Drew gives OBJ credit for sounding self-aware and grounded, while still keeping the bigger point honest: this is not a guaranteed roster spot, and the old concerns do not disappear because of one good media session.The wide receiver room also gets another look after the Giants added OBJ, Braxton Berrios, and JuJu Smith-Schuster on cheap one-year deals. Drew argues that JuJu may be the most likely of the three to actually matter this season because he still looks like a legitimate depth receiver, while OBJ and Berrios have clearer roster-question marks.Did the Giants make a smart roster move by cutting Jason Sanders, or did they just make the kicker battle more uncomfortable?The Jason Sanders release creates the next major debate. The Giants cut their veteran kicker to make room for JuJu Smith-Schuster, leaving Ben Sauls and rookie Dominic Zvada as the names to watch. Drew weighs the concern of losing the only proven kicker on the roster against John Harbaugh's special teams background, Sanders' reported struggles, and the idea that Sanders' high-trajectory kicking style may not fit a windy MetLife environment. The Jets signing Sanders right after the Giants cut him only makes the whole thing stranger.PFF's All-Giants Team closes the episode with the kind of argument Giants fans love. Eli Manning is obvious at quarterback, but Ahmad Bradshaw over Saquon Barkley starts the first real fight. The wide receiver group of Odell Beckham Jr., Hakeem Nicks, and Victor Cruz gets mostly defended, while the tight end/flex choices, Michael Strahan omission, and linebacker group create more debate. Rob joins late as the conversation turns to how thin the Giants' linebacker history has been in the PFF era and whether names like John Beason deserved more love.The episode wraps with quick OTA notes, including returner possibilities with Deonte Banks, Braxton Berrios, Calvin Austin III, and Xavier Gibson, plus a positive Roy Robertson-Harris injury update that leaves the door open for a possible late-season return.Merch: https://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/Support: https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballsAll episodes: https://2giantgoofballs.buzzsprout.com/Send us Fan MailSupport the show

Tesla promised the Cybertruck could handle a little water, but 70-year-old Jimmy Jack McDaniel took that promise literally. On May 18, 2026, police and water rescue teams were called to Grapevine Lake, where they found a brand-new Cybertruck completely disabled and taking on water. The driver's excuse? He just wanted to test out Tesla's advertised "Wade Mode." --For early, ad free episodes and monthly exclusive bonus content, join our Patreon! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

ESG StuffBP removes chairman Albert Manifold over governance issues 9The board said the decision was unanimous. In a statement, Amanda Blanc, BP's senior independent director, described the board as having been caught off guard by what it found: "The board has been surprised and disappointed to learn of governance oversight and conduct issues it deems unacceptable and has taken decisive action."The company did not elaborate on the specific nature of the concerns.Ian Tyler has been named interim chair, BP said, with the board set to begin a formal process to identify a permanent successor: "The Board and leadership team have deep conviction in the strategic direction we have laid out, and the company is moving at pace to deliver it."Manifold took up the chairmanship just last October. At last month's annual general meeting, just 81.8% of shareholders backed his electionAmong the most consequential decisions of Manifold's short tenure: pushing out former CEO Murray Auchincloss and overseeing the selection of Meg O'Neill to succeed him — a hire that marked the first time BP had recruited an external CEO and the first time a woman had led one of the oil industry's largest players.Tulsi Gabbard Exit Marks Fourth Woman to Leave Trump Cabinet 0Apology TourBank boss sorry after describing workers as 'lower value human capital' 7Standard Chartered CEO Bill Winters triggered a massive PR firestorm by describing the bank's plan to replace back-office staff with automation as replacing "lower-value human capital" with financial investmentStandard Chartered is cutting roughly 7,800 jobs—representing about 15% of its global back-office corporate support roles—over the next four years to make room for AIAfter internal anger and blistering public criticism, Winters posted a formal apology for his "choice of words." However, he initially fueled the fire by attaching the full interview transcript to justify his broader context, drawing further criticism for being defensiveIn his first attempt to quiet the storm, Winters leaned heavily into the corporate strategy rather than apologizing for the specific phrasing: "I said that lower-value roles are more vulnerable to automation, and that we have a responsibility to help colleagues move into higher-value roles. That is what a responsible employer should do. We will continue to speak honestly about the impact of technological change, and we will continue to act responsibly in helping our people to adapt and succeed."After a barrage of negative comments on his first post, Winters returned to LinkedIn later that day to offer an explicit apology for his phrasing: "I have received a lot of support for the messages in my previous post but still get questions about my choice of words, which I know has caused upset to some colleagues.

According to data from market-intelligence firm Tracxn, more than 130 BCI startups have been launched since 2016.Why Is Mark Zuckerberg Taunting His Employees Before Firing Them? 20Back in April, Meta announced it was laying off 10 percent of its workforce, or around some 7,800 workers. Unlike traditional layoffs, which are enacted relatively quickly, Meta gave its employees a nearly month-long warning period without announcing who exactly would be headed for the unemployment line.In newly leaked audio from an all-hands meeting at Meta, released by More Perfect Union, the Meta CEO seems to actually be taunting the thousands of workers who were about to be let go by pointing to how the company was harvesting employee data to train its in-house AI models ahead of the massive layoffs.“So we're in a phase where basically the AI models learn from heaving real, from watching really smart people do things. And if you're trying to get it to be able to be able to do certain capabilities, having [AI] be able to observe really smart people doing those things is, is very important.”Going on, Zuckerberg explained that it was better to train AI on soon-to-be-former Meta employees, rather than “contract companies.”“In general, the average intelligence of the people who are at this company is significantly higher than the average set of people that you can get to do tasks if you're working through… contractors,” Zuckerberg stammered. “So if we're trying to teach the models coding, for example, then having people internally, um, build tools that, or, or solve tasks that, um, that help teach the model how to code, we think is going to dramatically increase our models coding ability faster than what others in the industry have the capability to do.”Intuit to Cut 17% of Staff, Invest in ‘Big Bets' 3The restructuring cost is estimated at about $300 million to $340 millionAbout 3,100 employees: and invest the savings in “big bets” as it makes artificial intelligence a centerpiece of its business.Woke WarsTexas AG Sues ISS Over ESG Considerations 0Texas AG Ken Paxton (in a senate race) is suing ISS for allegedly “misleading” customers by pushing “radical political agendas” through its proxy adviceNotably, ISS has attempted to obstruct ExxonMobil's planned reincorporation from New Jersey to Texas“ISS has enormous influence over how billions of dollars are invested and managed across this country, and they have abused that influence in order to push woke ideology”Iowa AG Brenna Bird sues ISS, says advice risks retirement savingsIowa Attorney General Brenna Bird is suing the world's largest proxy-advice firm for abusing its influence and threatening Iowans' retirement savings by "lying" to investors.Stakeholders Rule!Wells Fargo must pay $100M to help homebuyers after discrimination lawsuit — 51 cities are eligible 7The settlement, which was recently approved by a federal judge in California, comes after four years of legal disputes involving Wells Fargo shareholders, former employees and job applicants who accused the bank of systemic problems in both lending and hiring practices.While Wells Fargo denied wrongdoing, the company agreed to the deal to avoid prolonged litigation and mounting legal costs.The case centered on allegations that Wells Fargo's board failed to maintain adequate oversight of the bank's mortgage lending operations, exposing the company to regulatory scrutiny and accusations of discriminatory practices.According to reporting from Realtor.com, plaintiffs accused the bank of “widespread and systematic discrimination in lending” and cited concerns over lending algorithms and refinancing approval patterns.The lawsuit stated that Wells Fargo was allegedly the only major lender in 2020 to reject more refinancing applications from Black homeowners than it approved.Airbus, Air France Hit With Manslaughter Charges Over Pilot Training Failures in Deadly 2009 Flight 447 Crash 1A Paris appeals court delivered a dramatic verdict in one of the longest-running and most complex legal sagas in aviation history. The court overturned a 2023 acquittal and found both Airbus and Air France guilty of corporate manslaughter for the tragic 2009 crash of Flight AF447.The ruling marks a massive victory for the victims' families after a 17-year legal battle. A lower court had previously cleared the European planemaker and the French airline in 2023, ruling that while errors were made, a direct causal link to the crash couldn't be proven. The appeals court completely rejected that logic, declaring the companies "solely and entirely responsible" for the disaster.Ride-Share Drivers in Massachusetts Formally Unionize 100The App Drivers Union said it was the first organization in the country to be formally certified to represent drivers for apps such as Uber and Lyft.In a news release, the organization, the App Drivers Union, said it would represent nearly 70,000 workers in Massachusetts who now have the power to collectively bargain.MATTA very special “who do we blame for SpaceX IPO governance” gameFirst, some S-1 highlights:“Starlink internet is what's being used to pay for humanity getting to Mars.” - MuskTranslation: We don't care much about Starlink, it's just paying our AI billsHe's not kidding: $3.2bn revenue for Starlink, net income of $1.2m$0.6bn revenue for rocket ship, net income of -$0.6bn$0.8bn revenue for AI, net income of -$2.5bnThis isn't a space company - it's classic Musk - you buy the vision (“To build the systems and technologies necessary to make life multiplanetary, to understand the true nature of the universe, and to extend the light of consciousness to the stars.”), but what you're really buying is an internet company that spends all its money on AI and does some rockets on the sideLet someone else invent the car (Tesla) and make them sexy with “big visions” for “humanity”Let someone else invent the rockets, build new ones using someone else's moneyLet someone else invent the satellites, put a whole bunch in space (and buy more satellites from someone else)Musk initially took the role of “Chief Engineer”, but every engineering task seems to have been the other employees - he supplied the moneyShoehorned AI into space exploration because…?Grok is designed as a truth-seeking AI model, built on our founder Elon Musk's mission to enable humanity to understand the universe. We believe that accomplishing this mission requires a truth-seeking approach to AI. We define truth seeking as the active, relentless pursuit of what is objectively true about reality, and grounded in evidence, logic, empirical data, and first principles thinking.AI's ability to revolutionize human potential is directly dependent on meeting exponentially increasing resource demands.We now must go to space to get more resources for AI so we can get to spaceNow the governance who do you blame gameMusk will get:85% voting power (dual class, he owns 94% of Class B 10 vote shares and 12% of Class A shares)The ability to nominate and vote exclusively on >50% of the boardA board which currently includes..TWO execs - Gwynne Shotwell (President) and Musk (three titles)Tesla mafia: Ira Ehreinpreis, Tesla board sycophant, director at the Boring Company and xAI, and longtime Musk hanger on, added Feb 2026Antonio Gracias, ex Tesla director who was explicitly called out in the Tornetta decision as corrupted, cross party transactions with Musk, on boards of Neuralink and Boring Company, added Oct 2010TWO VC bros from DFJ - Randy Glein (SpaceX board observer for 16 years, directors since Feb 2026) and Steve Jurvestson (former Tesla director, director since March 2009) who was ousted from the VC firm with his name on it for sexual harassmentPaypal mafia:Luke Nosek, co founder of PayPal, one of the founders of Founders Fund with Thiel and Ken Howery, invested in DeepMind, director since July 2008Donald Harrison - managed Google purchase of DeepMind, relationship with Nosek, director since Feb 2015Director relationship tenures to Musk: Shotwell: 24 yearsEhreinpreis: 21 yearsGracias: 21 yearsJurvetson: 17 yearsGlein: 16 yearsNosek: 26 yearsHarrison: 11 years (+1 if Nosek/Deepmind connection counts)Texas jurisdiction exclusively (judge shopped) - 3% to sue them, mandatory arbitration, anti-takeover statutes, special meetings ONLY CALLED BY MUSK (no one less than 50% of stock can call a meeting or vote)No written consent - no prior noticeAdvance notice bylaws for the zero shareholder proposals allowedFull omission of board liability - including a provision that automatically allows whatever the conflicts of interest they want with directorsWHO (WHEN) DO YOU BLAME?The US GovernmentDepartment of Energy - in 2010, the DoE gave Tesla a $465m loan, which basically paid for the Model S and helped it buy a factory 6 months before it went public - Musk has said Tesla would not have survived without the loanNevada - in 2014, Nevada gave Musk $1.3bn to build a factory, the most everNASA - spent more than $15bn over years on SpaceX and programs with themThe IRS/Congress - the EV tax credit for $7,500 single handedly pushed Tesla from losing money in 2020 to making money (they effectively got $1.6bn from the US government in 2020), and showing its first profit, which sparked the memefest during COVID and made Musk the richest man on earth - Musk then went on and called for an end to the tax credit since his “competitors” needed it more than Tesla. Tesla made ~$11bn from tax credits aloneThe DoD - started paying SpaceX in 2003 for concept work - and even when the rockets didn't work, the DoD and NASA awarded the company massive contracts anywayJeff Bezos said in 2016 that, “Elon's real superpower is getting government money.”FOMOSpaceX LOSES MONEY - it does not make moneyIf it were a satellite internet company - and NOT THE FIRST - the first was HughesNet in 1996, and Viasat offered it in 2012 - it would make money ($1.2m in income!)Instead, investors are valuing SpaceX as THE LARGEST IPO IN THE HISTORY OF EVER despite the fact that they are burning money on AI, and arguably the worst AIIncluding spending the most on R&D, marketing, and acquisition of Cursor to make up for the fact that Grok suckedIn exchange for FOMO, investors have ENTIRELY GIVEN UP THEIR RIGHTSIt is 100% a private companyTornettaIf Tornetta hadn't sued for Musk's pay, would SpaceX be structured this way?The banks underwriting the dealWho AGREED TO BUY GROK as a term of getting the underwriting, because everyone bends the knee to moneyThe boardI guess

This month's Drive Thru News mixes banter and headlines with a “What Should I Buy?” story: Brad abandons his troubled orange Mk4 GTI “Pumpkin Spice” after finding oil-and-coolant “chocolate milk” from internal failure and frame misalignment, then buys a high-mileage Vortex Blue Turbo Beetle (one of 2,000 U.S. cars) that's clean, street legal, and likely chipped, prompting naming jokes and parts-swapping plans. The crew debates VW's business turmoil, an allegedly Mk4-inspired Mk9 Golf design, the 2027 ID.Buzz return, Porsche EV uncertainty, a Cayenne Electric Coupe, simulated “manual” shift-by-wire, and Brembo's non-hydraulic brake system. Other topics include Stellantis moves and factory health complaints, BMW killing the Z4 but teasing a manual M3 CS, an ugly Mercedes EV, discounted Hertz Shelby Mach-Es, an Outlander recall and handling rant, a pristine 1992 Scirocco auction, Cybertruck mishaps, books and upcoming events, Florida flying-car talk, sim-racing updates, and 24 Hours of Lemons prep including a risky wheel-sourcing tow story. ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00:00 Drive Thru Kickoff 00:00:49 Buying yet another VW?!? 00:05:27 Pumpkin Spice Autopsy 00:09:15 Naming The Blue Beetle 00:11:09 Parting Out The Orange GTI and Resisting The Porsche Temptress 00:18:01 VW Business Model Panic 00:19:41 Mark 9 Golf Controversy 00:21:21 ID.Buzz Returns?

This week, we dive into the news as Tesla's Full Self-Driving (Supervised) platform expands its European footprint into a second country, moving closer to widespread adoption while transitioning away from one-time purchase options in the region. On the hardware front, we look at Tesla's ambitious efficiency assertions regarding the futuristic CyberCab, alongside a new monitoring program addressing charging failures to support early Cybertruck buyers with free Supercharging. Looking at legacy automakers, Chevrolet is stepping up its game for 2027 by introducing key updates for the Equinox EV and Blazer EV lineups. Meanwhile, safety concerns have prompted Waymo to temporarily suspend its freeway driving operations in certain conditions. Stellantis is also charting a massive $70 billion comeback strategy heavily featuring affordable LFP batteries, a dedicated Tesla FSD challenger, and production partnerships to manufacture EVs for Dongfeng in France. Finally, we break down the high-stakes debate surrounding a newly proposed annual $130 federal EV registration road tax fee in the United States and weigh its implications for modern clean vehicle owners.

Hour 2 opens with Dan Buck, Kim St. Onge, and Ethan Bright discussing a Missouri Lottery winner and the broader question of whether large jackpot recipients should be publicly identified, sparking debate over privacy, transparency laws, and the potential use of trusts to shield identities. The conversation then shifts into consumer frustration around retail “round-up” donation prompts and skepticism about how nonprofit fundraising systems operate in practice. In the “St. Louis Morning Brief,” the show highlights Busch Stadium's viral “tarps off” seating section trend while also covering regulatory setbacks facing Waymo testing in Missouri, alongside concerns about autonomous vehicle deployment and neighborhood disruptions. The discussion escalates into local policy debates over rising water rates in St. Louis and criticism of public spending priorities, even as regional development expands with a planned Google data center nearby. The hour's most substantive policy segment features guest Ross Marchand of the Taxpayer Protection Alliance, who breaks down rising auto insurance premiums driven by litigation and what he calls a “tort tax,” arguing for extending liability protections similar to those already granted to rental car companies to ride-share platforms like Uber and Lyft. The hour closes with “In Other News,” featuring viral stories including a Tesla Cybertruck driver misusing “Wade Mode” and driving into a lake, a DUI suspect arrested while attempting to pick up another DUI suspect from jail, amusement park riders stranded on a 245-foot roller coaster in Texas, and media chatter surrounding the end of Stephen Colbert's show and speculation about his political future.

We break it all down.We also revisit the viral Six Flags rollercoaster incident after riders were left stranded, plus we ask the important movie question nobody seems brave enough to answer: is The Mandalorian & Grogu going to be another disappointing Star Wars cash grab?Also on today's show: The bizarre trend of foreskin restorationWhy a man drove his Cybertruck into Lake GrapevineDFW treasure hunter goes full idiot at Lake LewisvilleSix Flags rollercoaster updateIs Mandalorian & Grogu doomed?Celebrity birthdays and terrible movie sequels/remakesA dad's brutally honest advice about boyfriendsThe life skills every guy should knowIf you love comedy podcasts, funny news stories, weird internet culture, pop culture commentary, viral headlines, and conversations that spiral completely out of control, you'll love The Treehouse Show.WHY LISTEN?Funny current events & trending storiesViral internet nonsensePop culture debates & movie talkWeird Florida/Texas-style newsComedy podcast chaos with friendsAbout the show:Leave your worries outside and join Dan O'Malley, Trey Trenholm, and their hilarious guests for laughs about funny news and viral stories with ridiculous commentary inside the Treehouse Show.
On today's episode, we discuss Tesla tech mishaps, the future of universities in an AI world, and Elon Musk's growing influence over space and technology. The hosts open with a wild story about a Cybertruck owner who drives into a lake to test “Wade mode,” using it to talk about how these features are really meant for shallow, predictable conditions rather than stunt driving. They then pivot to higher education, arguing that traditional university models are “dead on their tracks” as AI fuels cheating, erodes long-standing honor codes, and makes grade inflation worse, even while students publicly boo AI at commencements despite using it privately. Later, they connect AI fears to broader geopolitical concerns, suggesting that anti‑AI activism in the U.S. is partly manufactured to help China catch up in the AI and data center race. The conversation closes by zooming out to Musk's dominance in rockets, satellites, and AI chips, debating whether one eccentric innovator holding that much technological power is exciting, dangerous, or both, all while sharing anecdotes about full self‑driving Teslas that are already good enough for drivers to accidentally fall asleep behind the wheel. Don't miss it!

A Texas man is facing charges after intentionally driving his Tesla Cybertruck into a lake to test its “Wade Mode” feature—only for the vehicle to quickly become stuck and take on water. Police say the driver and passengers had to escape the truck and abandon it, before rescue crews pulled it out of Grapevine Lake. After more than a decade on air, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is coming to an end, marking the close of a long‑running CBS late‑night franchise that dates back to 1993.

“What's the Worst Decision You Could Make on Sixth Street… and Why Did This Guy Actually Do It?” From unbelievable street chaos to laugh-out-loud parenting struggles, this episode of The JB and Sandy Show is a wild ride through one of the strangest weekends Austin has seen in a while—and trust us, you won't want to miss a second of it. Things kick off with a jaw-dropping story that had everyone asking the same question: “What was he thinking?” A man on Sixth Street made the bold (and incredibly misguided) choice to pick a fight—with an entire platoon of Marines in full dress blues. As Sandy put it, “That's the ultimate of not being able to read the room.” The aftermath? Exactly what you'd expect—and it's as intense as it is unbelievable. But the chaos didn't stop there. JB, Sandy, and Tricia break down a deeply concerning series of random shootings across Austin involving teenagers, stolen cars, and a city on edge. It's a sobering moment in the episode, balanced by appreciation for law enforcement stepping in fast to bring it under control. Just when you think things couldn't get any stranger, the crew shifts gears into the weird, wonderful side of Austin life. From a paddleboarder casually playing the flute on Lady Bird Lake to a Cybertruck sporting ironic bumper stickers, the question becomes: what's the most “Austin” thing you saw this weekend? Spoiler alert—it involves a three-legged dog and a game of hacky sack. And then comes one of the standout moments of the episode: Sandy's brilliantly relatable “Ode to the End of the School Year.” If you're a parent hanging on by a thread as summer approaches, this will hit hard. With lines like “I am one permission slip away from total collapse,” and “Hobby Lobby can suck it,” it's the cathartic laugh every exhausted parent didn't know they needed. Plus, the team dives into crowds getting out of control at The Domain over a limited-edition watch drop, the return of mall culture, and why people might finally be craving real-world connection again.

“Do babies love casinos… or is that just something we tell ourselves at 3 a.m. in Vegas?” JB, Sandy, and Tricia kick things off with sharp observations about the city they love—from why Teslas are suddenly everywhere to a surprisingly passionate theory about Cybertrucks and who's (never) riding shotgun.Along the way, Tricia delivers an all-time relatable confession, admitting she once mistook deodorant on his shirt for feta cheese and still powered through his morning. The show takes a heartfelt turn with an update on Athena the owl and her orphaned owlet at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildlife Center, complete with JB's unforgettable line: “You never know if they're gonna take to it… or kill it.” Equal parts sweet and unhinged, it's classic JB. Then comes one of the episode's most talked-about moments: JB's impulsive Instagram purchase—a pocket-sized fishing pole that sparks nostalgia, marital survival strategies, and exactly zero confidence it'll win him a bass tournament. Add in Sandy's Mother's Day donut overthink spiral, and suddenly everyone feels seen. Things heat up during a rapid-fire Q&A that gives listeners a clearer picture of Tricia—from her lifelong dedication to comfy pants to her Austin childhood in Zilker, and her unapologetic answer to the question of the sexiest man of all time (cue Elvis… and a photo that makes everyone uncomfortable). The laughs keep coming with the long-running “Babies Love…” saga, as listeners send proof that infants apparently adore casinos, drag racing, Dave Matthews Band concerts, and front-row baseball games in the blazing Texas heat. The episode wraps with a passionate, deeply Austin argument over what truly qualifies as a dive bar, separating the pros from the pretenders as the crew runs through listener-submitted legends like Deep Eddy, the Water Tank, Dry Creek, and Mean Eyed Cat.
