In this episode of 32 Thoughts, Kyle Bukauskas and Elliotte Friedman open with Auston Matthews taking a knee-on-knee hit from Radko Gudas and the lack of response from the Maple Leafs.

They also dive into Nathan MacKinnon and a confusing goaltender interference call and the differences between NHL and IIHF rules (29:00), Connor Bedard's big night against Utah (37:00), and Utah locking up Nick Schmaltz to an eight-year deal (40:00). The episode also touches on the NHL modifying its penalty against the Ottawa Senators (42:30), Montreal pushing toward the top of the Atlantic with Jacob Fowler impressing in net (47:30), and a Final Thought on Elliotte returning to co-host the Canucks for Kids Telethon (52:04) Kyle and Elliotte answer listener questions in the Thoughtline (55:41).

In this special 400th episode, the Rational Reminder hosts reflect on 50 years of index investing and the profound impact it has had on financial markets, investor behavior, and the cost of investing. The episode features a panel moderated by Ben Felix at the New York Stock Exchange—hosted by Vanguard and S&P Dow Jones Indices—bringing together leading voices in the indexing world to explore how passive investing evolved and what it means for the future of capital markets. Ben is joined on the panel by Tim Edwards (S&P Dow Jones Indices), Jim Rowley (Vanguard), and Shelly Antoniewicz (Investment Company Institute) to discuss the mechanics of indexing, the myths surrounding passive investing, and the evidence on how index funds affect markets. They unpack questions about market concentration, price discovery, and whether indexing is changing the structure of capital markets. Key Points From This Episode: (0:00:04) Introduction to the Rational Reminder podcast and the hosts from PWL Capital.

(0:13:07) Discussion of research papers presented at the event examining index investing's market impact. (0:14:32) Historical context: the S&P 500 is currently as concentrated as it was in the mid-1960s. (0:15:36) The largest companies in 1965—AT&T, Kodak, GM, IBM—eventually faded from dominance. (0:17:43) A hidden advantage of cap-weighted indexing: investors automatically own future winners. (0:20:59) Debate about whether today's tech-heavy market concentration differs from past cycles. (0:23:30) The explosion of index funds and ETFs has created thousands of ways to implement passive strategies. (0:26:42) Technical improvements in ETF implementation, including lower tracking error and better hedging. (0:29:02) The "Vanguard Effect": index investing has driven massive reductions in investment fees. (0:29:38) Index funds account for about 23% of total U.S. market capitalization, not the commonly cited 50%.

(0:46:19) The surprising role of ETFs in trading and market liquidity. (0:48:30) The proliferation of niche ETFs raises questions about whether indexing has strayed from Bogle's vision. (0:49:49) Academic research offers conflicting views on indexing's effect on market efficiency. (0:52:27) Evidence suggests index fund growth has not increased market volatility. (0:54:25) Dispersion data shows indexing does not eliminate opportunities for stock picking. (0:57:15) Index funds own only about 30% of the U.S. stock market, leaving the majority in active hands. (0:59:42) Historical perspective: high market concentration has occurred before and eventually declined. (1:02:14) Research remains inconclusive about whether indexing harms markets. (1:05:25) Over 20 years, 94% of actively managed U.S. equity mutual funds underperformed the S&P 500. (1:06:20) Post-panel reflections and discussion with the Rational Reminder hosts.

One of the quietest off-seasons in club history is over as the Orlando Pride prepare to open their 2026 NWSL season on Sunday. It's been so quiet, we've had our maximum off-season schedule time off over the last couple of months, but we hope you're still out there and ready for more SkoPurp Soccer talk.We begin this episode with some rare preseason news, as the Pride actually released some details about their final scrimmage ahead of league play. Orlando posted a 2-1 win over Fort Lauderdale United, and we even know who scored the goals! Additionally, McKinley Crone is back with Orlando after being on loan with last weekend's host team, so the Pride have plenty of goalkeepers once more.After the preseason news, we were happy to welcome Orlando Pride Vice President of Soccer Operations and General Manager Caitlin Carducci to the show for the first time. We talked Carducci up about the Pride's quiet off-season, the vacancy left behind by Emily Sams, the players who have impressed in camp, her approach to a large number of players who will either be out of contract or require a decision on an option year at season's end, and much more. Big thanks to the Pride's new GM for taking time out of her busy schedule to put up with our questions.Our mailbagbox is curious about which players could slip themselves into the team's top three goal scorers in 2026. Remember, you can ask us anything by hitting us up on Twitter at either @TheManeLand or @SkoPurpSoccer and using the hashtag #AskSkoPurp. You can use that same hashtag and hit @TheManeLand.bsky.social up on Bluesky. Or you can visit our show page, scroll down, and fill out the handy form. We'd also appreciate any ratings or reviews you can leave wherever you get your podcasts, and if you do that on Apple Podcasts, we'll find them easily and read them on the show.Finally, we looked ahead to Sunday's match against the Seattle Reign. For Seattle, it will be the club's third consecutive competitive match against Orlando, but they won't see the Pride again until Decision Day. We discuss some of the Reign's key players, the series history, our key matchups, and our score predictions for the season opener. We're in our off-season schedule now, so we'll be back at least monthly, and as often as news requires.If you'd like to support our independent writing and podcasting efforts, we'd love to have you as a subscriber or donor over at our Buy Me a Coffee site.Here's how Episode 114 went down:0:15 – Pride preseason news! We have some! Just in time for the regular season.8:25 - Caitlin Carducci jumps on with us and spends about 20 minutes answering a variety of questions about the club.32:00 - Our mailbagbox is short and sweet, and then we jump into our preview of Orlando vs. Seattle.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1288: Buy-sell activity ramps up as more dealerships and franchises change hands in Q4. Meanwhile, Volkswagen dealers launch a 600-store class action over Scout's direct-sales plan, and Ford patents a smart door system designed to prevent dents, injuries, and awkward parking lot moments.The dealership buy-sell market closed 2025 strong. Transaction count only ticked up slightly to 112, but the stores and franchises behind those deals hit multi-year highs — a delayed release from a slower first half shaped by tariff uncertainty and longer deal timelines.Dealerships trading hands jumped 19% to 163, while franchises involved surged 35% to 261 year-over-year.Stellantis led all brands with 25 CDJR stores changing hands — more than double Q4 2024Chevrolet came in second with 24 stores sold, driven by what Kerrigan Advisors calls "tremendous demand" tied to GM's domestic manufacturing position and relatively clean EV write-downsA group of VW dealers has filed a class-action lawsuit representing roughly 600 U.S. dealers, challenging Scout Motor's plan to sell vehicles directly to consumers.Dealer Fred Ippolito, didn't hold back, saying: “Volkswagen built their success on the backs of the dealer network, and now they're putting knives in the backs of the same dealers that helped them grow in this country.”Scout CEO Scott Keogh says the direct model is simply more efficient for modern automotive retail: “You can be dramatically more efficient with every single car that you make and exactly where that car goes.”VP of Commercial Operations Cody Thacker said the company repeatedly hears customers asking for direct sales, noting: “We have heard over and over again, ‘Please give me an alternative.' You see that there is very little trust in auto dealers today.”Ford may be trying to save your car door—and your neighbor's paint job. A newly surfaced patent reveals a smart door system designed to slow or stop a door before it hits nearby objects, combining sensors, software, and a mechanical brake.Ford's patented system uses accelerometers and obstacle sensors to detect how quickly a door is opening and whether something is in its path.If a collision is likely, a small mechanical brake with springs and pads engages to slow or stop the door—preventing dents, dings or worse.The design intentionally includes mechanical components to avoid the reliability issues sometimes seen with fully electronic systems.Door safety is getting more attention across the industry. Kia recalled 51,000 Carnival minivans after sliding doors continued closing on obstacles, causing several injuries.Today's show is brought to you by iPacket Value.

The Slanted Attic Experience: Episode 56 "Adam" Football, Fantasy, and a Galaxy Far, Far AwayTyler welcomes back Adam for his second solo episode and third appearance overall, and this one does not disappoint. A Central Virginia native, newlywed, and self-proclaimed football devotee with a fantasy record that somehow still trails his wife's, Adam brings the kind of energy that makes an hour feel like ten minutes.The guys kick things off breaking down NFL Week 3, the biggest storylines of the season, and where the Cowboys and Steelers stand heading forward. Fantasy football takes center stage with injury updates, armchair GM takes, and a deep dive into just how brutally hard it actually is to coach in the NFL. The Micah Parsons trade drama gets its full breakdown from a Cowboys fan's perspective before the conversation shifts to team chemistry, the Eagles' cohesion from last season, and the ongoing debate around running back contracts. Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers get their moment, the Chiefs dynasty comes under scrutiny, and Pittsburgh's defense raises the question everyone is asking: is it a scheme problem?From there, Tyler and Adam pivot to the studio, teasing the upcoming Maul show dropping in 2026 and sparking a full Star Wars power level debate. The conversation expands into other fantasy universes, Andy Weir's work, war films and shows, Eragon and the world of fantasy novels, and a Slanted Attic Book Club segment before landing on the Dune films. Things close out naturally, until the recording limit has other plans.Guest Panel:Adam: Born and raised in Central Virginia and freshly married to his best friend and partner of five years, Adam is living his best life, even if his fantasy football team is not quite keeping up with his wife's. A Cowboys and NFL loyalist who has devoted perhaps too many hours to Matthew Berry and Field Yates, Adam brings warmth, humor, and a refreshingly honest perspective on sports, life, and everything in between. The silver lining of losing in fantasy? When she wins, so does he.Topics Covered:NFL Week 3 wrap-up Season storylines so far Cowboys and Steelers outlooks Fantasy football check-in Player injuries Armchair GM and the reality of head coaching The Micah Parsons trade drama , A Cowboys fan's perspective Team vs. individual players and the Eagles' cohesion RB contracts and current top earners Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers Is the Chiefs dynasty over?

Qasar Younis is the co-founder and CEO of Applied Intuition, a $15 billion AI company that adds intelligence to cars, tractors, planes, submarines, and other vehicles—essentially, Tesla or Waymo without the hardware. He was previously COO of Y Combinator, started his career as an engineer at GM and Bosch, and was born on a farm in Pakistan.We discuss:1. Why the biggest AI revolution will play out in mining, farming, construction, and trucking over the next 5 to 10 years, not in software2. Why Qasar intentionally stayed under the radar for nearly a decade while building Applied Intuition, and why most founders shouldn't do that3. The truth about China's AI capabilities and why comparisons to American companies are fundamentally flawed4. The company values that drive Applied Intuition: speed above everything, laugh a lot, half the work is follow-up, never disappoint the customer5. The biggest lessons from Qasar's stint as YC's COO, including that the most successful companies show traction very early6.

What if the 32 NFL teams aren't building independent draft boards at all? On this episode of the Draft Room, we pull back the curtain on the scouting consortium model — specifically Blesto and National Football Scouting — and explain why nearly every team in the league is starting from the exact same baseline evaluation before they ever move a single player up or down their board. The Blesto/NFS breakdown: How these shared scouting organizations were born, how teams pay into them, and why the standardized reports they produce create far more consensus across the league than most fans realize Anchoring bias and group think: Why scouts who privately disagree still end up with nearly identical boards — and what it would take to truly separate your franchise from the pack Finding the edge: The areas where teams can differentiate — medical staffs, technology/analytics investment, Senior Bowl intel, and a GM willing to trust unconventional takes Packers draft priorities: Caller Jared the Uber Driver kicks things off with a question about whether the Zaire Franklin signing shifts Green Bay's draft focus — corner vs. defensive tackle breakdown included Subscribe, rate, and review the Draft Room wherever you get your podcasts, and drop your questions at 608-561-3243.

What a week! We cooked for all the contractors who worked to make our Big Back Yard such a place of beauty. Just a small way of saying thank-you and letting them know—all good work is like worship and to be honored. It was a great moment, even if I did get lectured on the glories of a Traeger pellet grill by a guy who had grease and barbecue sauce on his lips and beard!We interviewed children who just completed the Communicants Class and will make a profession of faith this Sunday, and it was, as always, beautiful and wild. I had a ten-year-old boy tell me he wanted to be a General Manager for an NFL team when he grew up. I told him I had heard of kids who wanted to play or coach in the NFL, but never a GM. I asked him how he came to that conviction. Without hesitation, he said, “Playing Fantasy Football.” He said, “Yeah, I started doing trades and figuring out how to build a team.” I asked him if he was any good. Again, without hesitation, he said, “I have won the league the last three years.” His dad told me his buddies call him for advice. I told him I would be calling him when we draft next season. Addy and I went to the last Memphis Basketball game of the year, Thursday night, sitting with good friends as we have done for years, and though Memphis lost, it was a night of glory. Anna Kate Henson danced and cheered her last game, and we basked in her glory. Then Addison had a night of glory. She was “Fan of the Game" and was on the Jumbotron with Sydney for all to see—beaming as she was presented with what she always dreamed of, a Memphis jersey with all the players' signatures on it. She then got another t-shirt and another feature on the Jumbotron, cheering wildly—what a night.My life is a constant mystery to me and often not what I expect. We all find ourselves there this week as we ponder God's workings with his people. A life with God will never be what you expected; it certainly wasn't for Israel, it wasn't what the disciples expected, or for St. Paul, for that matter, and thus we must pay attention, because God might not give you what you expected, but he will give you more. We'll talk about it this Sunday as we worship and gaze upon His fair beauty and see many of our children profess faith in Him. That is way, way better than we could dare dream. 

In today's episode we talk about the Importance Of Having A Writing Partner.  Why should you have a writing partner?  What benefits does a writing partner provide?  What if I don't have a partner who is a GM?  We give you our thoughts and answer all these questions and more in today's episode.Leave us an email for feedback, questions, or thoughts at levelupyourgamingpodcast@gmail.comor Follow us on Facebook and engage with us at https://www.facebook.com/LevelUpYourGamingPlease leave us a review or a five star rating wherever you get your podcast.

The crew continues the conversation surrounding Tua Tagovailoa and the difficult situation the Miami Dolphins face if they decide to move on. They discuss how Miami may have to attach a significant draft pick to trade Tua, something the team likely isn't willing to do given how important the 11th overall pick is to their rebuild through the draft. Joe points out how Tua's play declined sharply last season, suggesting his arm strength appeared to fade as the year went on. The guys also note that the Dolphins' new GM likely knew the challenges surrounding a potential Tua trade when he took the job.

General Motors North America President Duncan Aldred

Joe Mixon released, Danielle Hunter extended and Wade Smith breaks down the O-line rebuild. Plus Nick Caserio on cap strategy ahead of Monday's tampering period. John Harris hosts a loaded Friday show on the eve of the legal tampering period, packing in a week's worth of roster news, a Wade Smith interview, and Nick Caserio audio. The biggest headline: Joe Mixon has been released at his own request, saving the Texans $8 million in cap space and officially closing the book on his Houston tenure after an injury-plagued 2025 season. That move pairs with several other transactions — Danielle Hunter receives a contract extension providing both long-term security and immediate cap relief, Derek Stingley Jr. and Jalen Pitre restructure their deals to free up space, MJ Stewart returns on a one-year deal to shore up the secondary, and Dalton Schultz gets a one-year extension to remain through 2027. Former Pro Bowl guard Wade Smith provides the episode's analytical centerpiece in a pre-recorded interview with Marc Vandermeer. Wade credits Cole Popovich and the offensive line staff for genuine improvement in 2025, explains from personal experience why playing multiple positions can extend a career but may prevent maximizing at one spot, and describes the emotional rollercoaster of free agency — visiting Buffalo where former coaches tugged at his heartstrings, falling in love with Houston on his visit, then being pushed by his agent to leverage an Arizona trip he didn't want to take. On the current roster, Wade sees Aireontae Ersery and Trent Brown as likely starters at the tackle spots and emphasizes the need to invest in the interior, noting Ed Ingram's career-best season will price him high on the open market. He also raves about the Toro District facility at Bridgeland, comparing it to Frisco, Texas and the Cowboys' Star complex. The final segment features Nick Caserio's appearance on Sports Radio 610's Sean & Seth show, where the GM provides a candid look at the free agency big board process — starting with all available unrestricted free agents, narrowing to 25-30 realistic targets across positions, and eliminating mismatches in value quickly so the team doesn't "waste time." Caserio speaks warmly about Tytus Howard's professionalism, acknowledges the difficulty of managing competing contract demands, explains why the offensive line turnover isn't an indictment of individual players but a roster construction reality, and pushes back on PFF grades as "a data point" that lacks the context of being in meeting rooms. The show closes with league news including Taylor Decker's release from Detroit, Geno Smith's release from the Raiders, and DJ Moore's trade to Buffalo.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In a high-energy Thursday morning appearance on Sid Rosenberg's show, WFAN icon Joe Beningo joins from New Jersey to discuss the latest in New York sports. He opens with light-hearted jabs about his recent media feud with Mayor Zohran Mamdani before diving into the good news: warmer weather ahead to end a brutal winter. Beningo expresses strong support for President Trump's actions on Iran, citing decades of unaddressed attacks on Americans, while acknowledging some Republican criticism. Turning to sports, he mourns the recent passing of coaching legend Lou Holtz (who coached the disastrous 1976 Jets season), reminisces about college basketball's glory days before NIL and one-and-dones "ruined" it, and debates the Knicks' status as a solid but not elite Eastern Conference team (predicting 50+ wins, a first-round playoff victory, but no championship). He rips the officiating in their recent loss to OKC but urges fans to relax—the regular season is just seeding. On the Jets, Beningo shows cautious optimism in new GM moves (like franchising Breece Hall) but low confidence in head coach Aaron Glenn, suggesting a stopgap QB this year and a real franchise prospect in the stacked 2027 draft class. For the Mets, he laments losing Pete Alonso and Edwin Diaz, questions the bullpen (especially Devin Williams), but sees contender potential with improved starting pitching and hitters like Juan Soto and Bo Bichette—if they don't make the playoffs, manager Carlos Mendoza and GM David Stearns could be out. He gives the Yankees a strong nod for their rotation (led by a healthy Gerrit Cole) and playoff lock, though the loaded AL East and Dodgers' dominance temper World Series hopes. Beningo closes by predicting a potential lengthy MLB lockout over salary cap issues, urging fans to enjoy 2026 while it lasts. Full of signature passion, honesty ("let's be honest"), and New York grit, it's classic Joe Beningo. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  The calls are coming in hot on Packernet After Dark, and tonight's show covers some of the biggest questions hanging over the Packers heading into free agency and the draft. From the Romeo Doubs contract debate to a deep dive on Brian Gutekunst's drafting track record, the fan base is fired up — and they're not holding back. Romeo Doubs at $12M — worth it or salary cap poison? Chris from Alabama makes a passionate case for bringing Doubs back as the team's most reliable receiver, while Ryan breaks down the brutal math: can Green Bay really afford Doubs and lock up Watson, Reed, and eventually Golden? The Gutekunst draft report card. Drew from Green Bay challenges Ryan on the Creed Humphrey miss, the Quay Walker pick, and whether the GM deserves more credit for his work in trades and free agency than he gets for the draft itself. Ryan's verdict: stop measuring how close the misses were — just find the hits. The Packers' cornerback drought. The crew revisits a stunning stat — Green Bay hasn't taken a top-100 cornerback in nearly a decade — and what it means now that Gutekunst has publicly flagged the CB room as a priority. Rich Bisaccia heads to Clemson. A caller floats a compelling theory about the timeline of his departure, and the crew gives a genuinely warm send-off to the outgoing special teams coordinator.

Ben Goessling, Andrew Krammer and Emily Leiker open the mailbag and answer your Vikings questions ahead of NFL free agency. How did the team's former GM earn an "A" grade in the NFLPA's latest team report cards? What are the QB plans? Would they part ways with J.J. McCarthy? Could they make a run at the top center on the market? What about replacing Harrison Smith?

The guys had fun and put on their GM caps to have a 'Zel Draft. Picking their best picks in categories such as "Scumbag'Zel" & "Monologue'Zel". Let us know who had the best draft!

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1284: Today we're looking at Carvana quietly buying franchised dealerships, GM reshaping used-car sales around CarBravo, and Google's newest AI image model.Carvana is continuing its quiet march into the franchised dealer world. The online used-car giant just bought another Stellantis dealership near Boston—its sixth in about a year—raising eyebrows across the industry and hinting at a bigger strategy to capture inventory, service revenue, and customer proximity.The company has rapidly built a cluster of CDJR stores across the country including locations in California, Arizona, Georgia, and Texas, spending about $160 million on five of them.Stellantis recently added a rule limiting buyers to one CDJR dealership per year, a move some believe may be aimed at slowing consolidation from players like Carvana.Analysts say the strategy likely centers on access to trade-ins, parts, service revenue, and more used-car inventory to feed Carvana's core online business.CEO Ernie Garcia hinted at bigger ambitions saying: “The opportunities around us feel really, really, really big.”In a bid to compete with online disruptors like Carvana, GM is restructuring how its dealers sell pre-owned vehicles. The shift centers on pushing dealers toward GM's CarBravo platform and dramatically expanding what qualifies for a factory-backed warranty.GM is dissolving its long-running certified pre-owned program structure for Chevrolet, Buick, and GMC dealers, asking them to move used vehicle sales under its CarBravo national online marketplace starting in June.Dealers must use CarBravo if they want to sell used GM vehicles with factory-backed warranties, while Cadillac will keep its traditional certified pre-owned program.The program expands eligibility dramatically—even non-GM vehicles and cars up to 15 years old could qualify for warranties, far beyond today's typical five-year CPO limit.GM says the goal is to increase used-car inventory flowing through dealerships and capture demand in a market where 40M used cars sell annually vs. ~16M new vehicles.Mohawk Chevrolet president Andy Guelcher says the platform expanded reach: “I'm talking to people that I've never spoken to before.”Google just rolled out Gemini 3.1 Flash Image—aka Nano Banana 2—combining faster generation with the consistency needed for real production use.Google's Gemini 3.1 Flash Image merges the intelligence of its Pro image model with the speed of its Flash architecture, making high-quality image generation fast enough for everyday workflows.The model pulls real-time knowledge from the web, meaning generated images can reflect current information rather than static training data.It can maintain consistent characters across five people and track up to 14 objects, enabling multi-frame campaigns and repeatable branded assets.Today'Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

AI isn't about replacing people — it's about unlocking productivity and making customer experiences feel more human. On this episode of Right About Now, Ryan Alford sits down with Vinod Muthukrishnan, VP & GM of Webex Customer Experience at Cisco, to discuss how AI is transforming customer experience from fragmented interactions into continuous, context-driven conversations. Vinod explains why the purpose of AI in CX is not efficiency alone — it's humanization. From “concierge agents” that become the face of a brand to agentic systems that orchestrate complex multi-step requests across departments, this conversation explores the end of CX silos and the rise of intelligent, brand-aligned AI interfaces. They also tackle the real question everyone's asking: is AI taking jobs — or elevating them? Key Takeaways AI should make CX more human. Automation should enhance context, empathy, and continuity — not remove them. Context is the missing link in customer loyalty. Most brands reset conversations every time. AI fixes that. Concierge agents become the brand. They orchestrate backend systems while delivering one seamless customer conversation. Agentic AI moves beyond tasks. It executes complex, multi-step “jobs” across systems over time. AI won't replace humans — but AI-powered humans will win. Repetitive work declines. Strategic expertise rises.
