Brock is back! What did he think about the All-Star game and the attention Cal Raleigh is getting from the national media even after winning the MLB Homerun Derby? // Need to Know: The National League won the 2025 All-Star game after a dramatic comeback by the AL late in the game which prompted a Swing-Off. Now that the All-Star festivities are done, GM’s can now focus on the approaching trade deadline. NBA League meetings were happening this week and Adam Silver gave another vague comment on possible NBA expansion. // Brock & Salk debate some big topics about the MLB All-Star game including the switch back to players wearing their team’s jerseys again, to the use of the ABS system, and more! // Jeff Passan joins the show to give us his perspective from the All-Star game and the Homerun Derby. What was it like to see Cal Raleigh climb the mountain and win the Derby with his father and brother alongside him. What was his biggest takeaway from the 2025 MLB All-Star game?
Cal Raleigh is doing things that have never been done before in baseball, winning the Homerun Derby as a catcher, having his father and brother participate as pitcher and catcher, and his homerun totals in the regular season. // Need to Know: The National League won the 2025 All-Star game after a dramatic comeback by the AL late in the game which prompted a Swing-Off. Now that the All-Star festivities are done, GM’s can now focus on the approaching trade deadline. NBA League meetings were happening this week and Adam Silver gave another vague comment on possible NBA expansion. // Let’s talk trade deadline! The trade market is not a big one this season and Arizona is looking like one of the prime selling teams with Eugenio Suarez and Josh Naylor seeming like good trade targets. Should the Mariners be looking for another leverage arm to help the back end of their bullpen? What position is the priority for the Mariners to go after? // Blue 88: What are Brock’s concerning numbers for Sam Darnold going into the 2025 season?

The NBA has been having their league meeting in Las Vegas this week and the topic of expansion once again came up. Some owners are against expansion and commissioner Adam Silver did not say that they are moving forward with plans for expansion, but they are talking about it and doing analysis of what it would mean for the league economically. // Need to Know: The National League won the 2025 All-Star game after a dramatic comeback by the AL late in the game which prompted a Swing-Off.

NBA League meetings were happening this week and Adam Silver gave another vague comment on possible NBA expansion. // The Mariners ended the first half of the season on a high note by sweeping the Tigers and seeing the resurgence of Julio with Arozarena hitting his stride at the plate showing us his power. Was it the right decision for Julio to sit out the All-Star game to help him in the 2nd half of the season? Can the Mariners keep their momentum with their lineup starting to hit consistently in the back half of this season? // We go through your questions in one of our favorite segments: Answer The Question Jerk!

Hour 3 – The Drive explained how the extension for Trey Smith is showing how Brett Veach is entering a new era as the GM.
David Welch, Detroit Bureau Chief, Bloomberg joined Grayson Brulte on The Road to Autonomy podcast to discuss the future of autonomy.Is Waymo preparing to pivot away from owning and operating robotaxi fleets towards licensing the Waymo Driver to companies such as Toyota, and perhaps even Ford and GM? If Waymo were to fully pivot to a licensing model, it could establish a new model in which legacy OEMs become contract manufacturers for autonomous driving developers. With legacy OEMs acting as contract manufacturers, a new ecosystem would emerge in which OEMs build the vehicles, finance companies carry them on their balance sheets, service providers manage operations, and autonomous driving developers supply the autonomous driving systems under licensing agreements.Meanwhile, Foxconn has ambitions to become the contract manufacturer of choice for robotaxi developers. If Foxconn were to enter the sector at scale, who would become the fleet operator? Who would finance the vehicles and own them on their balance sheet?Today, there are still more questions than answers when it comes to the future of autonomy. Yet despite this current uncertainty, the outlines of the industry's next era are beginning to take shape.Episode Chapters0:00 Ford's LiDAR Demands4:16 Financing Autonomous Driving Platforms 5:44 Would GM Sell The Origin Platform to Cruise?13:24 GM & Politics 15:38 Foxconn21:34 Licensing Autonomous Driving Systems 23:15 Fully-Electric Pick-up Trucks30:21 Tesla32:35 Breaking out Robotaxi Revenue 36:11 Waymo41:41 May Mobility on Lyft43:16 Toyota44:53 Waymo OEM Partnerships 46:02 What To Look For in the MarketsRecorded on Monday, July 7, 2025--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy provides market intelligence and strategic advisory services to institutional investors and companies, delivering insights needed to stay ahead of emerging trends in the autonomy economy™.

Can you be too nice to lead?In this episode, Michael Leibovich, GM and Head of Growth at Adobe, shares the career pivots, personal awakenings, and leadership lessons that shaped his unconventional journey from touring musician to executive. Michael opens up about getting fired, receiving feedback that questioned his approach to leadership, and learning how to balance empathy with outcomes. From scaling growth teams at Vimeo, Mindbody, AppFolio, and Abstract to navigating the emotional weight of letting someone go, Michael brings clarity to the messy, human side of leadership.We explore how feedback becomes identity-shaping, what it means to truly “drive clarity” in a role, and why building a career is more about learning from missteps than chasing perfection.In this conversation, you'll learn:Why “you're too nice” was the critique that stuck—and how Michael worked through itThe surprising lesson a failed VP stint taught him about agency and self-worthA simple question that brings clarity to tough calls as a managerThings to listen for:(00:00) Intro(01:24) Growing up in an artistic blue-collar SoCal home(02:30) First jobs and career aspirations(04:29) Journey into music and touring(05:44) Transitioning to tech and SaaS(07:24) How being in a band helped in learning business(11:02) Thank you to our sponsor, ThriveStack(12:20) Being too nice as a leader and finding a balance(21:27) Paying impactful feedback forward(23:38) Navigating imposter syndrome(26:46) Leadership challenges and job insecurity(29:27) Reflecting on career transitions(31:45) A costly mistake and learning experience(36:17) Managing team dynamics as a leader(44:42) A useful shift in perspective(46:46) Driving clarity and embracing intuitionA huge thanks to this episode's sponsor:ThriveStack: Measure Growth.

In this episode, we're tackling one of the most controversial topics in tabletop gaming—and no, we're not talking about "edition wars" or "alignment arguments." The hosts explore the art and science of crunchy game mechanics, diving into why complex systems aren't the enemy of good storytelling but rather a powerful tool for creating memorable narratives.Whether you're a seasoned GM who's embraced the mathematical beauty of detailed systems or a newer Game Master wondering if all those modifiers and subsystems are worth the effort, this episode delivers passionate defense with the kind of hard-won wisdom that only comes from years of rolling dice and crunching numbers.Special guest Derek Kane-Gervais is interviewed as we dive deep into the world of rules-heavy RPGs and explore how probability curves, character optimization, and mechanical complexity can enhance rather than hinder the storytelling experience.Topics Covered:What "crunch" really means and why it's not a dirty word in TTRPG designThe mathematics of drama: how probability creates tension and uncertaintyCharacter building as creative expression and problem-solving artistrySystems that do crunch right: Pathfinder 2e, GURPS, and ShadowrunDebunking "crunch kills roleplay" and other common misconceptionsThe social contract of complexity: when to embrace or avoid crunchy gamesTeaching complex systems to new players without overwhelming themHow constraints and rules fuel creativity rather than restrict itSo grab your dice, your favorite beverage, and maybe dust off that character optimizer spreadsheet—we're diving into every reason why mathematical storytelling deserves more love!Join host Nick Perron as he draws from his expertise in the TTRPG space to explore the cutting edge of game design with creators who are pushing boundaries and making magic happen one dice roll at a time.→ Tabletopped's Stuff:→ Tabletopped's website→ Patreon→ Instagram→ TwitterCheck us out on Patreon!

Seattle hockey fans rejoice! There is a new professional women’s team to root for, starting this fall. The name of the team? Well … that’s yet to be determined, but there are many things we DO know about this upcoming third season of the Professional Women’s Hockey League. This year, for the first time, the league is expanding into the Pacific Northwest, with teams in Vancouver and Seattle. There’ll now be 8 teams total vying for the “Walter Cup.” And things are moving FAST at PWHL Seattle: Players have been drafted, head coach Steve O’Rourke has been hired. There’s still a lot to be figured out, and the person making many of those decisions will be the new general manager Meghan Turner, who was the assistant GM of the Boston Fleet before being tapped for the head job here in Seattle.

Show Notes – RPGBOT.Podcast: “Build-a-Hero Workshop: Daggerheart Character Creation” Episode Summary: In this episode, the RPGBOT crew rolls up their sleeves and jumps into the nine-step character creation process for Daggerheart, the new tabletop RPG from Darrington Press. They walk through each step with equal parts clarity and chaos, covering class selection, ancestry, traits, and all the crunchy bits that make your character unique. With plenty of laughs, in-character riffing, and mechanical breakdowns, this episode offers both a how-to guide and a preview of the joy of storytelling in Daggerheart. By the end, the hosts have fully built their heroes—and maybe a few existential crises. Daggerheart (affiliate link) Critical Role - Age of Umbra Content from RPGBOT.net Daggerheart Review Key Takeaways: Daggerheart's Nine-Step Process: Character creation is broken into a clean, accessible nine-step structure. Each phase builds both mechanics and narrative. Start With Class: Your class defines your role and primary skills—think of it as the “what do you do” in the adventuring world. Ancestry Without Number Crunch: Ancestries offer flavorful features and cultural context, but they don't mess with your ability scores. Community Ties Matter: Your character's community gives you story hooks, motivations, and plenty of fuel for roleplaying. Traits are Your Stats: These determine how good you are at doing stuff—like lifting, lying, or surviving a GM's spite. Get That Gear: Equipment isn't just for show—it helps define your combat style and survival options. Background Brings the Drama: Who were you before this? Backgrounds add emotional weight and goals. Experience Evolves You: Characters can earn and spend XP to grow, change, and regret that one time they fought a horse. Domain Cards Add Spice: These magical-ish cards provide unique abilities that distinguish your character's style and vibe. Set the Stage with a Campaign Frame: The final step helps align character concepts with the world and tone of the campaign, whether you're playing light-hearted fantasy or grimdark grief therapy. Additional Notes: Expect a focus on hope and fear mechanics in future episodes—Daggerheart leans into emotional storytelling. The system encourages creative freedom and personal storytelling over min-maxing. If you love theater kid energy and rules-light structure, Daggerheart may be your next RPG obsession. Listen now to hear the team craft heroes, crack jokes, and figure out whether a raccoon bard fits the campaign frame.

The guys discuss Ben Cherington's lackluster draft history since taking over as GM of the Pirates.
Time now for our daily Tech and Business Report. GM is once again increasing its EV battery production. The company along with LG Energy Solution plans to start making more of its lower-cost batteries at its plant in Tennessee. For more, KCBS Radio anchor Holly Quan spoke with Bloomberg's David Welch.
Ryan Poles secures a contract extension. Niko and Chris are here to discuss if he even really earned it. Is this a new leaf for the GM and the team and where it's headed? Or has ownership overvalued another person in power regardless of the team and its performance? Listen and see what the guys have to say.

Show Notes – RPGBOT.Podcast: “Build-a-Hero Workshop: Daggerheart Character Creation” Episode Summary: In this episode, the RPGBOT crew rolls up their sleeves and jumps into the nine-step character creation process for Daggerheart, the new tabletop RPG from Darrington Press. They walk through each step with equal parts clarity and chaos, covering class selection, ancestry, traits, and all the crunchy bits that make your character unique. With plenty of laughs, in-character riffing, and mechanical breakdowns, this episode offers both a how-to guide and a preview of the joy of storytelling in Daggerheart. By the end, the hosts have fully built their heroes—and maybe a few existential crises. Daggerheart (affiliate link) Critical Role - Age of Umbra Content from RPGBOT.net Daggerheart Review Key Takeaways: Daggerheart's Nine-Step Process: Character creation is broken into a clean, accessible nine-step structure. Each phase builds both mechanics and narrative. Start With Class: Your class defines your role and primary skills—think of it as the “what do you do” in the adventuring world. Ancestry Without Number Crunch: Ancestries offer flavorful features and cultural context, but they don't mess with your ability scores. Community Ties Matter: Your character's community gives you story hooks, motivations, and plenty of fuel for roleplaying. Traits are Your Stats: These determine how good you are at doing stuff—like lifting, lying, or surviving a GM's spite. Get That Gear: Equipment isn't just for show—it helps define your combat style and survival options. Background Brings the Drama: Who were you before this? Backgrounds add emotional weight and goals. Experience Evolves You: Characters can earn and spend XP to grow, change, and regret that one time they fought a horse. Domain Cards Add Spice: These magical-ish cards provide unique abilities that distinguish your character's style and vibe. Set the Stage with a Campaign Frame: The final step helps align character concepts with the world and tone of the campaign, whether you're playing light-hearted fantasy or grimdark grief therapy. Additional Notes: Expect a focus on hope and fear mechanics in future episodes—Daggerheart leans into emotional storytelling. The system encourages creative freedom and personal storytelling over min-maxing. If you love theater kid energy and rules-light structure, Daggerheart may be your next RPG obsession. Listen now to hear the team craft heroes, crack jokes, and figure out whether a raccoon bard fits the campaign frame.

Ever accidentally traumatize your party during a goblin ambush? We did—so we made a whole episode about it. In this remastered episode, the RPGBOT crew rolls initiative on one of the most delicate balancing acts in tabletop role-playing games: how to manage difficulty and tone in combat scenarios. Whether you're a GM trying to run a gritty, high-stakes survival encounter or a player who just wants to dropkick goblins and crack jokes, this conversation explores how to harmonize challenge with narrative tone. The hosts unpack the psychology of danger, why tension doesn't always mean TPKs, and how even a good old-fashioned shinkick can feel appropriately heroic… or humiliating. They discuss combat pacing, how encounter design shapes the story, and how to use or avoid mechanical lethality to maintain player investment without disrupting tone. From slapstick to soul-crushing, the crew shares real-play examples and tools for aligning your combat difficulty with your table's emotional goals.

A metaphor for unnecessarily brutal or tone-discordant moments in combat that break immersion or fun. Tone vs. Challenge: Aligning encounter difficulty with campaign tone (grimdark, heroic, comedic, etc.) When a tough fight feels earned versus when it feels like punishment How comedic or whimsical games can still have meaningful consequences Combat Design Fundamentals: Action economy and player agency Telegraphing danger vs. ambush mechanics The role of pacing and player morale in combat design The Danger Dial: When to turn the heat up for drama When to pull punches to keep the tone light Avoiding tonal whiplash: don't drop horror into a Muppet movie campaign DM Tools and Techniques: Using terrain, objectives, and non-lethal consequences Building tension without overwhelming Letting players feel clever rather than just lucky Player Perspective: How difficulty impacts character expression How to engage tone-conscious players in lethal fights Encouraging tone-setting through narration and description Funny and Real Examples: Times the hosts accidentally (or intentionally) broke tone When a joke fight got real—or a real fight turned into a running gag Key Takeaways Tone and difficulty must be balanced intentionally. A hard fight in a serious campaign feels very different than the same fight in a cartoonish or comedic setting. Challenge doesn't mean constant risk of death. Strategic design can create tension without always threatening character mortality. Telegraphing is critical. Players respond better to difficulty when they can see it coming and prepare accordingly. Don't let tone drift accidentally. Maintain narrative cohesion—know when a gritty beat enhances the story and when it undermines the vibe. Make combat emotionally resonant, not just mechanically hard. Personal stakes, consequences, and narrative weight can be more impactful than raw damage numbers. Player tone is part of table tone. Encouraging players to engage with the narrative tone helps reinforce consistency during combat. Not every moment needs to be epic. Allow room for levity, slapstick, or small-scale drama to humanize your game and make epic moments shine brighter. Shinkicking is avoidable. Unless you're trying to ruin someone's day, there are better ways to raise the stakes. Call to Action Want to run better combat and avoid emotional shinkicks?

The 4th of July has passed, but there will be some fireworks in Atlanta in just a few days as one of the most electrifying events in baseball takes center stage. The Home Run Derby. A stacked field will arrive at Truist Park ready to put on a show. The eight contestants consist of Cal Raleigh, James Wood, Junior Caminero, Byron Buxton, Brent Rooker, Jazz Chisholm Jr., Oneil Cruz and Ronald Acuña Jr. Jake and Jordan have been bursting with excitement for this year's Derby, and now they break down the field and ultimately pick a winner. While those home run hitters are preparing to show off their power, the next great home run hitters might be waiting to hear their names called as the MLB Draft is just a couple of days away. The Washington Nationals have the number one pick, and coming off of a recent franchise overhaul, with the firing of their long-time GM and manager, they hope to take someone who will help carry them into the future. Jake and Jordan discuss this and chat about names to look out for in the 2025 MLB Draft. MLB has announced its top-20 highest selling jerseys, and to no one's surprise, Shohei Ohtani is at the top of that list. What is surprising is where some other players landed, including those who didn't make or fell off of the list.Last, but surely not least, everyone's favorite segment of the week is here. The Good, The Bad & The Uggla. Steve Cohen has taken to twitter again, Justin Verlander has a very unfortunate stat on the year and an epic playlist are some of the highlights from this week's segment.Close out your week with us as we are in Atlanta for the next few episodes of Baseball Bar-B-Cast.(2:44) - Home Run Derby Preview & Predictions(33:12) - MLB Draft Preview(50:42) - MLB highest selling jersey list(53:38) - The Good, The Bad & The Uggla Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1092: We unpack how Rivian views legacy OEMs as “adversaries”, Elon's plan to put Grok in your Tesla, and why your next Starbucks smiley face might be powered by pressure, not personality.Show Notes with links:Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe came out swinging against recent federal policy changes that gut EV incentives. But while the industry might stall, Rivian could gain room to thrive as legacy players backpedal.Scaringe called the rollback of EV tax credits and subsidies “bad for the world, bad for the U.S.,” and a blow to U.S. tech leadership.Ironically, fewer incentives could benefit Rivian, opening space for it's R2 and R3 rollouts.Scaringe didn't blame Congress alone—he sees legacy automakers like GM and Toyota, and their lobbyists, as Rivian's “biggest adversaries” on everything from EV registration fees to direct sales bans.He accused them of resisting change to protect outdated business models: “It's reflective of their desire that this whole EV thing would just go away. [They can suddenly say], “fine, I just won't sell those EVs.”“The folks we spend the most energy fighting against in D.C. are actual car companies,” Scaringe said. “It's very telling.”Elon Musk has confirmed that Tesla vehicles will get a native dose of his irreverent AI chatbot, Grok, starting next week “at the latest,” merging Tesla's in-car computing power with conversational AI.Grok 4, the latest model from Musk's AI startup xAI, was just released.Tesla vehicles will run a smaller version of Grok locally using their onboard computers.Musk previously teased Grok integration but had not set a firm timeline—until now.This comes amid backlash after Grok shared posts on X containing antisemitic content.“Tesla will probably have the most amount of true usable inference compute on Earth,” Musk posted on X.Those cheerful messages on your Starbucks cup might not be as heartfelt as they seem. A push for personalized notes is raising questions about authenticity and pressure on baristas.New CEO Brian Niccol wants to bring back cozy, in-store vibes by reversing mobile-heavy trends.Cup messages are now a “standard” meant to create human connection—but not all employees are thrilled.Baristas say it slows them down, especially during rush hours, and some report pressure from managers to comply.A few enjoy the creativity, but many feel it's another task disguised as joy.One Redditor shared, “I was told I'd get a final warning if I didn't write on cups.” Starbucks disputes this claim.0:00 Intro with Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier1:01 What a sarcastic car might sound like1:55 Announcements2:20 Rivian CEO Goes After Legacy Automakers and US Tax Policies6:35 Tesla To Get Grok AI 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/
