Nathan Fillion and Alan Tudyk are bored or something because they started a podcast that doesn't have any purpose or direction. I guess these guys are used to people telling them that they're hilarious or something. They were both on Firefly, a show that only lasted one season 23 years ago. But don't worry, that kinda has nothing to do with anything. Trucker Andy joins the show to marvel at the foley work and draw comparisons to Hollywood Handbook. A host on InfoWars gives us a shout out. Opie has as many hosts as viewers and iHeart Radio uses clumsy AI for social media posts. Steel Toe misses the goal even when playing Nazi music during the White Power Hour segment of his show. Patrick Michael is finding success with the laziest possible videos.

39 procent. Dat is hoeveel winstgroei Disney ziet bij hun streamingafdeling. 12,5 miljoen mensen kozen afgelopen kwartaal voor een abonnement op Disney+ of Hulu. Ook bij de afdeling die over de pretparken, de cruisereizen en de merchandise gaat is het feest. Dus deelt Disney cadeautjes uit. Meer aandeleninkoop, en meer dividend. Maar toch zijn beleggers niet tevreden. Die zien vooral een terugloop in advertentie-inkomsten bij de tv-kanalen. Zijn beleggers verwend? Dat vragen we ons deze aflevering af. Dan gaat het ook over modehuis Burberry. Dat heeft eindelijk de smaak weer te pakken. Sinds de pandemie verschraalden de verkopen in China, maar er is weer sprake van groei! Maar is dat te danken aan de nieuwe strategie van Burberry, of hebben ze gewoon weer de wind in de rug in de hele sector? En je hoort over de zorgen van de Autoriteit Financiële Markten. Die ziet 'grote, complexe en ondoorzichtige risico's' door de enorme invloed van techbedrijven op die markten. En tot slot nog een prettig bericht, want je hoeft voorlopig het woord 'shutdown' niet meer te horen. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
NIO announced Q3 2025 earnings will be released on November 25, 2025, before US market open, with management hosting a conference call at 7 AM Eastern Time. All eyes are on whether NIO can achieve its first quarterly profit under non-GAAP standards in Q4 2025, as promised by CEO William Li.In Q3 2025, NIO delivered 87,071 vehicles within guidance of 87,000-91,000 units, representing 40.77 percent year-over-year growth and 20.84 percent quarter-over-quarter growth. Revenue guidance for Q3 was between RMB 21.81 billion and RMB 22.88 billion. For Q4, NIO aims to deliver 150,000 vehicles averaging 50,000 units per month. October deliveries hit 40,397 vehicles, a record but still short of the 50,000 monthly target needed.However, a massive battery supply crisis is threatening the entire Chinese automotive industry's Q4 delivery targets. XPeng CEO He Xiaopeng admitted he has been drinking with all battery manufacturer bosses over the past two weeks trying to secure supply. Reports indicate purchasing personnel from multiple Chinese automakers gathered at CATL headquarters attempting to secure battery production capacity by camping outside their sales offices.The battery shortage has three main causes: First, the purchase tax exemption for EVs ends December 31, 2025, causing consumers to rush purchases before year-end. From January to October 2025, China produced 13 million new energy vehicles, up 30 percent year-over-year, with October NEV sales exceeding 50 percent of total vehicle sales for the first time. Second, the energy storage market is booming and creating a reverse siphon effect. Q3 2025 energy storage lithium battery shipments hit 165 GWh, up 65 percent year-over-year, with full-year estimates at 580 GWh. Energy storage uses lithium iron phosphate batteries, the same chemistry used in mass-market EVs like NIO's Onvo and Firefly brands. Third, high-nickel ternary batteries for premium long-range vehicles face supply constraints due to raw material price volatility and long safety verification cycles.Meanwhile, NIO's battery swap stations in Sweden received approval from national grid operator Svenska kraftnät to participate in grid frequency regulation through the FCR-D system. This allows NIO's swap stations to function as energy storage facilities that help balance electricity demand during peak hours. Each station participating generates tens of thousands of euros in annual revenue. NIO currently operates 60 battery swap stations across Europe including 8 in Sweden, and 3,563 stations in China.This episode analyzes NIO's Q3 earnings preview, breaks down the brand mix showing Onvo outselling the main NIO brand for the first time with 37,656 units versus 36,928 units, examines how the battery supply crisis could impact NIO's ability to hit 150,000 Q4 deliveries needed for profitability, and explores how grid regulation revenue from battery swap stations could become a meaningful profit center.For NIO bulls and EV investors, the next six weeks are critical. Q3 earnings on November 25th will reveal margin trajectory, cash burn rates, and management's confidence in Q4 guidance. November and December delivery numbers will show whether NIO can navigate the battery shortage better than competitors.

NIO announced battery swap partnerships with 8 major automakers between November 2023 and September 2024: Changan, Geely, Chery, JAC, Lotus, GAC, FAW, and Jiyue. William Li compared it to Amazon Web Services, promising to build the world's largest battery swap ecosystem with unified standards and shared infrastructure.But as of November 2025, production vehicles from the battery swap alliance have been significantly delayed. Chery's Exeed models were expected in Q3 2025 and haven't arrived yet, though testing has been confirmed at NIO swap stations. Meanwhile, CATL announced their Choco-Swap ecosystem with nearly 100 partners and aggressive expansion goals: 1,000 stations by end of 2025, 10,000 mid-term, and 30,000 stations long-term. NIO currently operates 3,562 stations after building since 2018.In March 2025, NIO and CATL signed a strategic partnership where CATL would invest up to 2.5 billion yuan in NIO Power and integrate Choco-Swap technology into future Firefly models. But in April 2025, Reuters reported CATL was in talks to acquire a controlling stake in NIO Power, valued at over 10 billion yuan. William Li denied the rumors in a WeChat group, but NIO's official statement only confirmed they're working with multiple investors including CATL.Then in November 2025, William Li said Firefly will NOT integrate with CATL's battery swap network, contradicting the March partnership announcement. Li explained that CATL uses air-cooled battery packs targeting ride-hailing markets, while Firefly uses liquid-cooled packs for better safety and temperature performance.This episode breaks down what's causing the battery swap alliance delays, why automakers haven't launched compatible vehicles on schedule, and whether CATL is positioning to dominate battery swapping alongside or in competition with NIO. We cover the standardization challenges, the BaaS pricing dilemmas, the stratification of cooperation levels between alliance members, and CATL's open platform approach that's attracting more partners.GAC Aion just launched the first mainstream passenger car using CATL's Choco-Swap technology in November 2025. CATL plans to expand internationally to Europe, directly competing with NIO in overseas markets. With CATL controlling 44.3% of China's battery market share and having deeper capital resources, this analysis explores whether the partnership could evolve into competition.For NIO bulls and EV investors, this is the objective analysis of where the battery swap alliance stands today, what the delays mean, and how CATL's parallel ecosystem changes the competitive landscape.
NIO's Firefly brand just made three major moves that reveal its global expansion strategy. A new 120kW motor variant has been filed for regulatory approval in China, large shipments of Firefly EVs are heading to Europe, and for the first time ever, NIO mentioned North America as part of Firefly's expansion plans. But the biggest story might be William Li's comments about CATL's battery swap network.In this episode, we break down what the motor upgrade means for Firefly's product positioning, how the brand is achieving NIO's fastest international expansion on record with deliveries now happening in Netherlands, Norway, Belgium, and Denmark, and why William Li says Firefly won't integrate with CATL's Choco-Swap network despite their March 2025 partnership announcement.Li explained that Firefly uses liquid-cooled battery packs for superior safety and performance, while CATL's system uses air-cooled packs targeting the ride-hailing market. He also revealed that Firefly will offer larger battery packs starting at 60kWh in the future, up from the current 42.1kWh configuration.With Firefly delivering 5,912 units in October—its third consecutive month of record-breaking sales—and NIO targeting its first quarterly profit in Q4 2025, these strategic decisions matter more than ever. Is Firefly's distributor model the key to scaling internationally? Can NIO crack North America through Canada or Mexico? And what does the CATL situation really mean for battery swap standardization?Whether you're a NIO bull, EV investor, or just following the Chinese automaker expansion into global markets, this breakdown covers the technology upgrades, geographic strategy, and competitive positioning that will define Firefly's trajectory.

Deflation remains rampant with frequently negative CPI and PPI figures. Consumer wariness and high youth unemployment at one in seven persist throughout the economy. The GDP growth figure is viewed as untrustworthy, manufactured through debt in a command economy. Decreased container ship arrivals point to limited actual growth, exacerbated by higher US tariffs. Economic reforms appear unlikely as centralization under Xi Jinping continues. 1045-1100 HEADLINE: Takaichi Sanae Elected LDP Head, Faces Coalition Challenge to Become Japan's First Female Prime Minister GUEST NAME: Lance Gatling SUMMARY: John Batchelor speaks with Lance Gatling about Takaichi Sanae being elected head of Japan's LDP, positioning her to potentially become the first female Prime Minister.

This highlights mainland Chinese influence operations utilizing influencers who push themes of military threat and Chinese greatness. Chen is suspected of having a mainland-affiliated paymaster due to lack of local commercial support. Taiwan's population primarily identifies as Taiwanese and is unnerved by constant military threats. A key propaganda goal is convincing Taiwan that the US will not intervene. 1145-1200 HEADLINE: Sentinel ICBM Modernization is Critical and Cost-Effective Deterrent Against Great Power CompetitionGUEST NAME: Peter Huessy SUMMARY: John Batchelor speaks with Peter Huessy about the Sentinel program replacing aging 55-year-old Minuteman ICBMs, aiming for lower operating costs and improved capabilities. Cost overruns stem from necessary infrastructure upgrades, including replacing thousands of miles of digital command and control cabling and building new silos. Maintaining the ICBM deterrent is financially and strategically crucial, saving hundreds of billions compared to relying solely on submarines. The need for modernization reflects the end of the post-Cold War "holiday from history," requiring rebuilding against threats from China and Russia. FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 HEADLINE: Supreme Court Battles Over Presidential Impoundment Authority and the Separation of Powers GUEST NAME: Josh Blackman SUMMARY: John Batchelor speaks with Josh Blackman about Supreme Court eras focusing on the separation of powers. Currently, the court is addressing presidential impoundment—the executive's authority to withhold appropriated funds. Earlier rulings, particularly 1975's Train v. City of New York, constrained this power. The Roberts Court appears sympathetic to reclaiming presidential authority lost during the Nixon era. The outcome of this ongoing litigation will determine the proper balance between executive and legislative branches. 1215-1230 HEADLINE: Supreme Court Battles Over Presidential Impoundment Authority and the Separation of Powers GUEST NAME: Josh Blackman SUMMARY: John Batchelor speaks with Josh Blackman about Supreme Court eras focusing on the separation of powers.
