When twenty-seven-year-old James Bullock was shot and killed in St. Louis in the winter of 1958, investigators immediately focused their attention on Bullock's wife, Edna, who was the beneficiary of her husband's large life insurance policy. Witnesses recalled seeing the victim being chased by a man with a gun on the night of the murder, and detectives suspected Edna had arranged for her husband to be killed so she could collect the insurance money. They didn't know it at the time, but St. Louis investigators were investigating what was to be the first victim in a decades-long career of a most unlikely hitman and serial killer. Although they had their suspicions that Edna Bullock had enlisted the help of her ex-husband, Glen Engleman, in the murder of her new husband, it would take many more years before those suspicions were confirmed. And by that time, Engleman, a successful suburban dentist had taken the lives of several more people, all to satisfy his own interest in calculated and carefully planned assassinations.

Evan and Tiki open with a bizarre and uncomfortable moment from the Mets Dodgers national broadcast that quickly turns into a deeper conversation about tone, bias, and how broadcasters balance honesty with neutrality. What starts as a joke takes on a different feel, raising questions about perception and whether even the most respected voices can avoid showing a little edge. From there, the focus shifts to the Mets current frustrations and the bigger picture comparison to the Dodgers, who continue to operate like the gold standard. The discussion digs into missed opportunities, roster decisions, and why the gap between the two franchises feels wider than ever, while also touching on the Yankees situation and how expectations shape fan reactions across New York.
Evan and Tiki shift to the NBA as the Knicks prepare for their playoff matchup with the Hawks, pushing back on the idea that this will be an easy series. While expectations point to a comfortable New York win, a closer look reveals potential trouble spots that could turn this into a real battle. They break down how Atlanta's defensive pressure and ability to force turnovers could create problems, why the Knicks margin for error may be thinner than it թվում, and what would actually have to go wrong for an upset to happen. The conversation also expands to a broader playoff outlook, including surprising betting lines, potential upsets around the league, and why the first round might not be as exciting as fans hope.
Evan and Tiki dive headfirst into a fiery breakdown of the Yankees lineup, questioning the logic behind Aaron Boone and whether his approach is overthinking simple baseball decisions. With debates around using an opener, lineup construction, and where Aaron Judge should hit, the conversation highlights the tension between analytics, common sense, and fan frustration. The discussion expands beyond the field as callers weigh in on broader issues, from Mets dysfunction to outrage over rising transportation costs tied to the FIFA World Cup. Along the way, Evan and Tiki mix sharp sports analysis with humor, tackling everything from roster construction to what it really means to be a New York sports fan right now.
It's a topic I'd rather not get into but Pope Leo has forced the hand of this podcaster. Our whole lives, politicians and the Pope stayed in their respective lanes and didn't cross over and tell each other how to do their jobs. Pope Leo has changed that as it appears he's an American Liberal before he is the Pope of the Catholic Church. President Trump has always been a counter puncher and there was no reason to believe he was going to allow a long time Trump hater off the hook just because he became pope. The head of the oil and gas workers of America has posted a great video explaining how we refine which kind of oil and why prices reflect what we have been doing. A jury in New York has found Tickmaster guilty of creating a monopoly and gouging music and sports fans all across America. Hunter Biden is broke and has fled the country. In sports, the Royals bats are officially the worst they have ever been to start a season. Totally dreadful. But the city council is about to approve $600 million for a new ballpark for the team. It's NASCAR week at Kansas Speedway as one driver stands above, the Chiefs get a scathing review heading into the NFL draft, the Masters ratings Sunday were bigger than when Tiger won and we have a genuine cat fight in sports journalism as one female reporter for USA Today slams Diana Russini.
Greg Kelly Reports | April 15, 2026 Trump's second term is framed as an almost unbelievable comeback story, with the New York hush-money case held up as one of the clearest examples of coordinated lawfare meant to stop him. Manhattan prosecutor Matthew Colangelo is cast as a political hitman, sent from Biden's Justice Department into Alvin Bragg's office to help manufacture a case that should never have existed. The program argues that the real scandal is not just the conviction itself but the total absence of accountability for the prosecutors, judge, media allies, and hidden jury selection process behind it. Trump's AI image and clash with Pope Leo become a broader argument for giving him grace, with the episode defending his unconventional style while accusing church leadership of siding with open borders and progressive politics. Eric Swalwell's scandal is treated with more caution than the media frenzy allows, with the segment suggesting that while he may be sleazy and reckless, the timing and presentation of the allegations still raise major political questions.

Tax refunds are running larger than in recent years, with Trump's tax cut legislation playing a key role. Governor Kathy Hochul is proposing a new pied-à-terre tax on second homes in New York, a move that could have serious economic consequences, particularly as Florida, with its zero-state income tax, continues to attract residents looking for a more tax-friendly alternative.
Dear listener, it is possible to scale your practice and keep your sanity! Kiera discusses three overall pieces of advice for those who have expanded/want to expand to multi-practice ownership, including centralizing atmosphere and tactics, establishing leadership infrastructure, and keeping your communication fluid. Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Transcript: Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (00:00) Hello, Dental A Team listeners, this is Kiera. And today I wanted to dig into multi-practice management and how this can be something so fun. I know several of you have multiple practices. I had multiple offices and I just think that this is a space of like, all right, here we go. How can we make this amazing? And how can we lead, scale and stay sane? I think is a big spot because I think that when we go from one practice to two practices, I know I went. insane and it was not fun. And so for you, I just wanted to break this down because I really think this is a popular thing. And also if you're sitting on the fence of should I grow, should I not grow, I think it's going to be a fun discussion for us today. And I just wanted to say, welcome to the Dental A Team podcast. I'm Kiera Dent and I'm so happy you're here. I love all things dentistry. I love everything that we're about. I love helping you have the best day. I love positively infusing you and your practice with goodness. I love reminding you that you are in the absolute best profession. And this podcast is made free because you guys share, review, like, and you're able to bring in more and more listeners for us. So I just want to say thank you. And if you haven't done that today, please share this, like this, review this. That's how we're able to stay at the top of the list for more offices to be positively impacted, to grow their practices with ease, and to realize dentistry should be fun again. So with that, I want to talk about like, when we go into multi-practice ownership, it can get really freaking thrilling. So. I want you to look at like, okay, things that we need to do are as we grow and evolve. Number one, I want you just to ask why are you doing this for ego? Are you doing it for impact? Are you doing it for fun? Are you doing it to be acquired by a DSO? Knowing your why and then putting that up on the mirror so you never miss it is going to help you tremendously. Like genuinely a hundred percent just have that why because then it gets really, really thrilling. And so for you then it's going to be, okay, great. Once we have that, I look at like, what can we centralize? So when we brought our second practice, it was make everything very, very simple and very easy for us. Meaning I want it to be all of our software is going to be the exact same. So we have the same software, the same colors. So from practice to look like the different locations when doctors go multi offices, it actually is very easy. Also, we had billing. So we had one person who was over the billing of all the practices. What about our reporting? Can we have the same reporting? So different scorecards that are reporting the same thing. over the location that we have at centralized so we can quickly look and see how is each location doing. And then also making sure like our handbook, our SOPs, our operations manual is the same. So we set up the operatories the same. We do the same thing for hygiene. Everything is the same. So again, think about McDonald's. Could you imagine McDonald's or Chick-fil-A or any fast food restaurant opening multi-locations if the experience isn't the same that actually gets hard. Now there can be some nuances but the core infrastructure should be very, very similar. Then after that, you also want to make sure that you have the same culture, team culture and patient experience. So again, go back to Chick-fil-A, the employees all have about the same, the culture is the same, we have the same experience every time we go in, no matter where I'm going across the nation or the globe, it's the same experience. And so for you, how can we make sure that we've got same team culture, same patient experience? You want to make sure your leadership team is really, really solid. And then you've got to have like shared tools. So the KPI dashboards, we've got to have low specific views. So if you're having things that are on a ⁓ software, so like if Open Dental, you've got to have it to where I can access every single practice easily or if it's in the cloud and there are pros and cons between cloud software versus none. I have found that a lot of cloud softwares are awesome for ease of access at home. I will say Dentrix Ascend is my least favorite even though know they're coming back and they're popular. What happens is like I have a practice that switched to curve and they love it. but there's nothing that can really integrate oftentimes. So you can't get analytic reports. You can't get other things. They're not as open source for you. And so if you ever want something outside of that software, that's usually cheaper, more affordable, helps you. That tends to be an issue with the cloud-based softwares. But when we got multi-practices, it becomes much easier because then we can sink in. We can look at it. We can have centralized billing, centralized, re-care, centralized phone systems, but you can also do this with a server. So when we look at this, I think it's really great because we have practices and when we standardize how we schedule, we standardize our software, we standardize our billing procedures, the practices actually grow 10X. So I have a location, there's five practices and when we standardize these items, I kid you not, we add about a million per practice per year. So when you go across this, five million growth and you get 10 million growth and you get 15 million growth and you get 20 million and consistently every single year we're typically adding, but it's because things are standardized, things are centralized. We're able to say, right, All offices, this is how we're now gonna block schedule. All offices, here are your goals. All offices, the billing is processing. All offices, this is how we do new patients. And it really is able to help you. So you've got to centralize what you can across the board and then have it localized at certain levels. But then it means like each office manager does the same thing, but they're making sure team spirit and team culture is the same. Patient experience is the same of what we do as an overarching multi-location area. So that's step one. Step two is we wanna build a leadership infrastructure. So what this is, is we've gotta make sure that we've got regional managers, office managers, department leads. Sometimes multi-office locations are gonna have a hygienist that's over all hygienists of all practices. Other times it's at the practice level. But regardless across the board, there are set standards and set processes that are going to be there for you. So I really wanna make sure that you have that. And then we also need to clarify like who has ownership of this, who's entering scorecards, who's entering KPIs. I like it to be that each office manager is responsible for their practice. So that way their office needs to be profitable, hitting the KPIs, the metrics, all the different pieces in the organization total org. Now I understand some practices, like I've got two locations. One's a very expensive location, one's a less expensive location. But across the board, you need to have leaders at both locations, because we're really struggling with these two locations. We have a regional that's bouncing back and forth between the two, but no one owns the accountability of these practices. And as it gets larger and larger and larger, Guess what? Capacity struggling. So now we're having to put into place office leads in both location, office scorecards in both location, office hygiene departments. So looking at this and you've got to train the leaders how to lead, not just do. So I can't just be like, okay, you do this X, Y, Z. It's gotta be, how do I grow the practice? How do I make sure everybody's engaged? How do I really get people very talented, very excited about this? Like making sure they know how to hire and fire and have the one-on-one conversations. And what do the scorecard numbers mean? And what are we looking at? And what is a healthy practice? What isn't a healthy practice? Usually my regional is meeting with my office managers weekly to make sure that they're successful. And what I found is when we track and measure all the locations, the practices increase. So typically as we're tracking and measuring, we're then able to grow them, elevate them and make them so much stronger because we're truly leading. So you've got to make sure you've got a strong leadership infrastructure. And if you don't have that, you don't have the pieces, multi-ownership gets really hard. If you're in multi-ownership right now. You need to start appointing these people, having KPIs that they're reporting on, helping them see like how we run leadership meetings, how we run these meetings that are very successful, what your ownership piece is, what are you responsible for, how are you winning? And I think if you think about it, imagine a DSO, they're going to come in and they're going to take over your practice. Well, you better believe that they're gonna have KPIs scorecards for every location. They're going to have leaders at every location. They're going to have regionals. They're going to train. So if that's what a DSO is going to do, why not do that yourself of multi-locations and learn from them because they're smart. They have these systems in place. You can do this as well. And then the third step on here just to help you guys is we've got to make sure that we've got like communication that's fluid rather than it just sitting there. weekly leadership calls are non-negotiable. We're talking run them on traction style, whatever your style is. but we review where we're at, like where are headed as an organization? What are the numbers tell us? And then what needs to get accomplished? What are the blockers? What are the issues? What are the problems? And having that. Now, some offices, depending upon how large they are, some have a regional. So like we're gonna have a board that talks about the whole organization as a whole. Other times I have it where we're talking about each practice and we run individual ones for the practice, or there's maybe a hybrid of both. I recommend the hybrid of both. I think as an organization, we need to make sure we're healthy. And then each practice is individual time where they're having these weekly meetings. They're also having ⁓ our KPIs by location. And we also are making sure that everybody's aligned. Then in addition to that, I'm very big on quarterly calibration and quarterly meetings of where are we going for the quarter? What are the rocks, if you will, with air quotes? What are the big objectives that we're accomplishing for this department, for this practice at this time? And what needs to get done? So it can be different. Each location might run a little bit differently. And that's where it's really great because across the board, all of us quarterly know, and then we roll that down to the full teams. So as an org wide, where are headed quarterly? As practices, where are we headed quarterly? And then also making sure quarterly we're doing some type of team bonding or engagement, because as you get larger and larger and larger, the team culture really can drift. And I know we talked about that at the beginning of like centralizing that and localizing. the OMS are responsible for patient experience and team culture. But at the same time, you've got to make sure that quarterly, like it's an all team alignment. We send out updated handbooks or protocols across the board, but we also get them like excited. So I'm really big on your communication and your metrics need to be solid. So I'm talking weekly L10s. They usually run for an hour, hour and a half at each office. You also should probably be having department meetings every single week as well to make sure the departments are growing. And then quarterly for sure having amazing like incredible quarterly meetings that are going to really, really help people drive to those quarterly results, the quarterly pieces and make it to where it's just fun and then do something fun. You don't need to run this as a leadership team, but it is a way for you guys to all start leveling up, have fun together. Remember why we all went into this and it's not just like the drudge of quarterlies. It is truly something fun and exciting. And I have a practice in New York. I've got eight locations over there. And I'm not joking every three to six months, we are meeting with every single practice, setting up goals, setting up pieces, having the full teams bought in and engaged. think I meet like 250 people in about four days. And the goal is to get team alignment, to get buy-in, but we know as an organization what each of the practices need to do, but we're getting team buy-in from them. And I think when you do that, what happens is the KPIs, when we start tracking them, when we get the quarterly buy-in, the whole organization rises up because a big pitfall that people don't realize is multi offices. You've got so many team members. You've got so many offices. You got so many places that you can actually let KPI slip profitability slip. And what happens usually in multi offices is one practice is actually draining. It's not as profitable and all the other practices are doing well, but yet all the other practices are having to take care of our draining practice. And it's how do get all the offices leveled up? Do all offices need hygiene? Do all offices need block scheduling? Do offices need to be reporting on what we're doing for the doctors? And I think when you're able to have that and establish that, you're able to have much, much, much easier multi-practice management, how to lead it, scale it, and grow it. So when we look at it, just a quick recap is we've got to centralize across the board. So our softwares are centralized, our billing is centralized, how we do our patient experience, centralized. Then we need to make sure we've got leaders in place. So regional managers, office managers, having that go through to where we've got that whole infrastructure, they've got their KPIs, they've got their ownership, they know. And then we also are going to make sure that we are going to have tight communication. So we're running those weekly meetings, we're running those quarterly meetings. Everything is running and driving really, really well. And this is just one of those things of like, we're not doing more. As you see, we've got directed people in their seats, having ownership. So we're able to mass scale across the board. and make sure all the practices are humming in the right direction. Yes, sometimes personable pieces aren't as common, but you don't have to lose that because you can set that as this is part of our culture and we put in every single practice. The OMS do it, the departments do it, we have fun. I have multi-offices that compete with each other, that have fun with each other, but this is something and I really feel like if you were trying to scale, your sanity is going to be number one. When we scaled, I started working double time and I was already working about 14 hours a day. So I know there's not 28 hours in a day. It's close. And I was literally sleeping about four hours a night and I was trying to manage all the practices, but it was because I didn't do these things. I did not put into place centralized across the board. Like didn't have it. We then hired a biller that did all the billing for it. We then had our office managers and we set up the software that were the same. We then had it to where here are the like protocols of how we set up the rooms. but it took me so long and I was already in it rather than having this built before I did it. I did not have leaders of both. I was trying to be the leader to both locations and I was running myself ragged and it was exhausting. Like literally burnout to the nth degree, but you're just in it. And so you're like, there's no way to get out of it versus realizing like, no, we can have a regional, we can have managers, we can have scorecards, we can have KPIs. And if you have this really dialed in at location one before you open up, Great. If you're already in the location for let's get these things into place and make sure that they're all profitable and then make sure we're weekly, monthly, quarterly team meetings, calibrating them and driving for those results using the numbers, using the culture, using the team. But this is where we're headed over the next quarter. And then we track and measure for that. I promise you, if you do this, you will be able to have multi-practices grow with ease. You will keep your sanity. And then you're tracking and keeping tabs without having to be the doer of all of it. This is what we do. We build scalable systems for practices.

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Admitted Racist Stacy Horn. Classified as a White Woman, Horn is a New York native, prolific author and cat lover. A listener found her 7th book, The Killing Fields of East New York: The First Subprime Mortgage Scandal, a White-Collar Crime Spree, and the Collapse of an American Neighborhood, and gave it a surprising endorsement. Horn chronicles how Race Soldiers in all areas of people activity targeted the black and non-white populations of East New York. White bankers, White enforcement officials, White government officials, White realtors, White enforcement officers all schemed to devastate attempted black families who just wanted to pay market value for housing. Horn makes a point of regularly reminding listeners that White people do not orchestrate systemic looting campaigns against poor White people. This sort of terrorism is reserved for black people. Gus thought it was massively important that many of the Racists in this crime are White people who claim to be “jewish.” Gus T has been told more times than he can recall that black people and White people who allege to be “jewish” are supposed to be homies in countering Racism and definitely not the terrorist with their foot on our neck and hand in our pocket. Importantly, Gus T. asked Ms. Horn if all White people are Racist. She responded by saying that her mom did her best to not be Racist. But... she still referred to her black "friend's" new child as a "boy." Moments being politely corrected, Horn hopped on the subway and branded a group of black male teens as grizzled, middle-aged looters and potential rapists. She admitted to cowering in her seat to hide from the privileged negro train riders. After moments of cowering, she realized they were just harmless black teens being children - not rapists. So, even she is Racist. Gus did think we were going to have a brief outburst about President Lyndon B. Johnson being a White Man who was not Racist. Vietnam shut that down quickly. #WhiteSupremacyPays #TheCOWS17Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#

Does nature or nurture shape who we are? Does our personality come from our genes, or the environment we live in? Countless scientific studies on the subject have been published. But one such study – a collaboration between a psychoanalyst and a New York adoption agency – was instead hidden away for decades. Could it be because the study was founded on lies? Because it was unethical? Or might there be some other secrets hiding in the files of Dr. Peter Neubauer? Today, we welcome a special guest: twin studies expert Dr. Nancy Segal. Check out her book!

On the afternoon of August 6, 1848, the HMS Daedalus was cutting through the gray waters of the south Atlantic when something surfaced alongside the ship — something enormous, something alive, and something that no man aboard had ever seen before. The officers who witnessed it were not excitable young sailors prone to ghost stories. They were Royal Navy men, educated and disciplined, with careers and reputations built on precision and credibility. Yet every one of them would go on record to describe the same thing: a massive serpentine creature moving through the open ocean as though it owned it. What followed their report would shake the British Admiralty, ignite a media firestorm across Victorian England, and launch a debate that has never been fully resolved.FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: On August 6th, 1848 the crew of the HMS Daedalus spotted something monstrous from the deep – and it has become the most well-documented sea serpent sighting in history. (The HMS Daedalus Sea Monster) *** A notorious criminal is brought to justice, and later found to have just as notorious of a brain. (Hanging of a Notorious Brain) *** A burst of UFO activity took place on New Year's Eve outside of New York in 1982… so many sightings and reports it was impossible to ignore, even by skeptics. (The Hudson Valley Flap) *** A social experiment initiated by Stalin's Soviet Union ends with hundreds dead on the first day – but that was only the beginning of the horrors of what would later be known as “Cannibal Island”. (Joseph Stalin's Cannibal Island) *** A woman is involved in an accident, and once out of the hospital everyone appears to be afraid upon looking at her face… even her. But it's not the scars that are causing terror. (The Reflection That Drove To Death) *** One day in 1863 Doctor Joseph Rogers found himself dealing with a very distressing case. A young pregnant woman had been sent to a workhouse because her circumstances were so dire. Her name was Sarah Ann Eldridge, and her husband, Alfred Eldridge, was in prison waiting to be executed.

The New Yorker staff writer Molly Fischer joins Tyler Foggatt to discuss Zohran Mamdani's first hundred days as mayor of New York. They talk about how Mamdani has carried his highly disciplined, media-forward messaging style into office—and how his governing style combines practical city management with a focus on visible and public-facing execution. They also explore the status of his core initiatives, including universal child care and other affordability measures, whether he has scaled back or recalibrated some campaign promises, and how he has navigated relationships with figures such as Governor Kathy Hochul and President Donald Trump as he tries to harness his political momentum into durable results.This week's reading: “Zohran Mamdani, Perpetual Student of the City,” by Molly Fischer “ ‘The Peace President' Gets Belligerent with Iran and the Pope,” by Robin Wright “What Brought Down Eric Swalwell,” by Jon Allsop “TMZ Gets Political,” by Paul Mejía “The Hungarian Election Shows That Even Strongmen Can Lose,” by Andrew Marantz “The Extremes of Israeli Public Opinion,” by Isaac Chotiner The Political Scene draws on the reporting and analysis found in The New Yorker for lively conversations about the big questions in American politics.

On this week's show, Dana, Steve, and Dan Kois get into cultural topics of various scales. First, they examine The Christophers, the latest film from Steven Soderbergh. The small scale two-hander starring Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel about an aging artist and an upstart forger is intentionally intimate, but is it too slight? They discuss.Next, they pick up their cultural magnifying glasses to peep at The Miniature Wife, the new marital comedy series starring Matthew Macfadyen and Elizabeth Banks about a scientist who accidentally aims his shrink ray on his wife. Is this diminutive premise too small for its multiple episode execution? They discuss. Finally, they take up the small but mighty objects apparently floating at the bottom of many an it girl's purse: cigarettes. They respond to a recent piece in the Ankler “Cigarettes Get a Sequel: Hollywood's ‘Cool' Bad Habit Is Back.”In an exclusive bonus episode for Slate Plus subscribers, the panel gazes at the vast expanse of space and talks about Artemis II's mission to the far side of the moon.

Our Global Chief Economist Seth Carpenter concludes the two-part discussion with chief regional economists Michael Gapen, Jens Eisenschmidt and Chetan Ahya on the second order effects of the energy shock from tensions in the Middle East.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Seth Carpenter: Welcome to Thoughts in the Market. I'm Seth Carpenter, Morgan Stanley's Global Chief Economist and Head of Macro Research. And once again, I am joined by Morgan Stanley's chief regional economists: Michael Gapen, Chief U.S. Economist, Chetan Ahya, the Chief Asia Economist, and Jens Eisenschmidt, our Chief Europe Economist. Yesterday we focused on the immediate impact of the Iran conflict, how the energy shock is feeding through into inflation, and, as a result, shaping central bank decisions across the U.S., Europe, and Asia.Today we're going to go a level deeper and talk about some structural issues in the global economy. It's Wednesday, April 15th at 10am in New York. Jens Eisenschmidt: And 3pm in London. Chetan Ahya: And 10pm in Hong Kong. Seth Carpenter: So, even as we're waiting to see whether or not oil prices stabilize following a temporary ceasefire – or not – the broader effects are still working their way through the global economy. Labor markets, supply chains, and then, of course, back to the more longer-term structural themes like AI driven growth. So, the question, I think, has to be: what does this shock mean, if anything, for the next phase of global growth? And does it reshape it? Does it change it, or do we just wait for things to go through? Mike, let me come to you first. One risk that we've been focusing on is whether this kind of shock really changes some of the structural positives in the U.S. economy. The U.S. has been, I would say, outperforming in lots of ways. We've had this AI driven CapEx cycle. We've had rising productivity; we've had strong consumer spending. What are you seeing in the data about those more structural trends? Michael Gapen: I think what we're seeing in the data right now is evidence that oil is not disrupting the positive structural trends in the U.S. I think AI CapEx spending is largely orthogonal to what we've seen so far. It doesn't mean that we can't see negative effects, particularly if oil rises to say $150 a barrel or more where we think you might see significant demand destruction. But with oil where it is right now, I would say the evidence is it will probably weigh on consumption. Gasoline prices are higher. It's going to squeeze lower- and middle-income households that way. But so far, the labor market appears to be holding up. And business spending around CapEx seems to be holding up. And the productivity story remains in place. So right now, I'd say this is more of a break on consumer spending, maybe a modest headwind. But not an outright hard stop. And I think those positive structural elements and AI-related CapEx spending are going to stay with us in 2026. Seth Carpenter: I hear in your answer part of what for me is always the most uncomfortable part of these conversations. Where I have to come back to say, ‘But of course it depends on how things evolve…' Michael Gapen: Of course, It depends… Seth Carpenter: So, then let me push you on AI specifically. You and your team have published a few pieces recently about AI. How AI is affecting the labor market, and maybe some hints as to how AI is likely to affect the labor market. So how should we think about that? Michael Gapen: While it's still too early, I think, to draw firm conclusions, Seth, we do find that there's some evidence that AI is pushing unemployment rates higher in specific occupations that are exposed to task replacement. So, what we did do is we broke down the data by occupation, and it's clear that the unemployment rate has been rising. But that's just a general feature of the economy at this point in time. Over the last 18 to 24 months, the unemployment rate has gone higher. So, what we did is a second-round effort at kind of controlling for cyclicality. And when you control for those, we do find evidence that the unemployment rate for occupations that have high exposure to AI is higher than you would expect, given the cyclical performance of the economy. But the effect is really small. It's maybe about 1/10th on the unemployment rate. So, I don't want to be too Pollyannish and say, ‘Oh, there's no evidence here that AI is disrupting the labor market.' We'd say that there is some evidence there. But, so far, it's mild and it's modest. It's a little more micro than it is macro. So, we'll see how this evolves. But that would be our initial conclusion so far. Seth Carpenter: So, Mike, that's super helpful. When I think about the AI investment cycle, though, I have to come back to Asia because a lot of the AI supply chain is there in Asia, especially with semiconductors and others. But there's lots of supply chain around the world. So, Chetan, if I think about different supply chains, different industries in Asia that are at risk, potentially being disrupted by the current shock, where do you focus? And then take a step further and tell me if you see a risk that there's a structural dislocation going on here in any of these sectors? Chetan Ahya: So, Seth, there are two relevant points here from Asia supply chain perspective, particularly the tech sector. Number one, there are some concerns on the supply side issues in the context of helium and sulfur. But from what we see as of today, these companies who need that helium and sulfur are able to pay up. As you would appreciate, this is a sector which is, you know, making a lot of money for those economies, i.e. Korea and Taiwan. And they are able to bid up on gas prices, sulfur, and helium, and still managing their production lines. So, we don't see a supply constraint as of now for their production, but there will be an implication for them if you do see damage on U.S. growth, which is quite meaningful. At the end of the day, these sectors are deep cyclical sectors. But if you do see that, you know, scenario of $150 of oil price and it brings global economy to near recession, then there will be implication for these companies and sectors in Asia as well. Seth Carpenter: All right, so Jens, let me bring it to you then. Because when I think about Europe, I think about a couple things. One, kind of, the intersection of energy vulnerability now markets pricing in tighter policy, industrial exposure, which has been going on for a long time. Takes us back in lots of ways to the energy price shock that started in 2021 and went through all of 2022, where we did see, I think, a hit to European manufacturing that had kind of a long tail to it. So, when you think about the current situation, what do you think this shock means for the medium term? How much of an effect do you think this energy price shock could have on the European economy going out a couple of years?Jens Eisenschmidt: Yeah, I mean, just listening to you guys, I mean, really makes me a little bit more depressed still, in terms of being European economist here. Because I mean, it seems America, well, they have the same energy shock, but at least they have AI. In Asia while they have the same energy shock, but at least they have something to deliver into AI. Europe just has the shock, right? So, in some sense there could be one summary.No, but I mean, going back to the comparison and the question. Of course, we have downgraded, as I said yesterday, our growth outlook. And that's predominantly on simply inflation high that is not great for consumption. Consumption is 50 percent of GDP. So, you want to take down a little bit your forecast and your optimism. And then – to your point – where does this leave Europe? We do have already less energy intense manufacturing than before. So, not sure if you'll see much more, or much further downward pressure on this sector. But, of course, it is an uphill battle from here to get back. To get this industrial renaissance back that to some extent the Germans at least are hoping for. In our growth outlook and our growth revisions, we looked into differentiated impacts. And, of course, one of these impacts is through trade. And again, the backdrop here probably globally is not great for trade – as at least you would not want to be super optimistic in that current backdrop. And that will hurt again Europe. So, to your question, we have an outlook, which is still positive growth; but much more muted than say, a month ago or two. Seth Carpenter: Can I push you then a little bit and say that this shock to the European economy then isn't just a cyclical hit. There's probably an additional sort of structural headwind that might get introduced on the heels of, say, the earlier 2021-2022 energy shock? Jens Eisenschmidt: I would say it's the same thing. It's just a reminder that this is still there, right? Europe needs to, kind of, find ways… I think it's best exemplified by the German economy, who was exporting to the rest of the world. And now it looks like as if China has taken over that role. And so, you have to find a new business model, simply speaking, because the ice cream shop next door is just better than you. And so, this is something, what the European economy has just gotten another reminder, and it came through energy, in particular. So, this is where the similarities are. So that was a [20]22 shock. In the meantime, oil prices had nicely retraced, gas prices had nicely retraced. We have new contracts with different suppliers. But still, I mean, the high energy prices expose us here. Because we are already a continent with very high electricity prices, which are derived from the fossil fuels. And so that is not going to end. And so, the continent really urgently has to address that weakness, that structural weakness. And so yeah, in that sense it's structural. Seth Carpenter: Let me pull this together for maybe a final question for each of you. And I'd love it if you could just answer really quickly. Quick fire answers here. We've got a baseline scenario where energy prices are high. Oil is back up a little bit over $100 a barrel. But I think we, and most of the market, are assuming oil prices gradually come down later this year. Mike, what's the prognosis for the U.S. economy? If instead oil prices skyrocket, say they go through $150 a barrel for a couple of months in a row. Michael Gapen: So, the risk there, Seth, is that you do get significant demand destruction. It's not just a gasoline price story for the consumer. It's about weak asset markets. It's about a pullback in hiring. So, at $150 a barrel or more, I would be afraid about recession risk in the U.S. The U.S. is well positioned to handle an oil price shock, but it also has limits. Seth Carpenter: Got it. Jens, suppose instead we had a rapid de-escalation and all of a sudden in the next two months, oil prices are backed down to say $80 a barrel or so. How much of the damage that you envision for the European economy is already baked in the cake? And how much of it goes away if oil prices retrace over the next two months? Jens Eisenschmidt: I would say a lot for this year is baked in the cake to use your words. While next year, we would be basically back to where we had been before in numbers. 1.2 instead of the 0.9 we are seeing currently. And importantly, the ECB could stay. It would not have to hike into that crisis. Seth Carpenter: So, Chetan, , let me come back to you then to wrap up this whole conversation. We've talked about energy mostly in terms of price, but as we've discussed there is the quantity side of things. So, do you think there's a non-linearity? Is there something that's going to just fundamentally change if instead of the rationing being done by price, we get to a point where there's just simply no supply coming to Asia? Chetan Ahya: Yeah, I think that's a very real risk, and that's particularly more important for Asia because there's a lot of dependence on Middle East, and both gas and oil coming in through the Strait of Hormuz. So yeah, I think there is a risk of non-linearity on Asia's growth dynamics if you see supply shortages. Seth Carpenter: Super helpful. I think that's a great place to leave it. What started as a geopolitical shock is now evolving into something broader, touching everything from inflation, interest rates, possibly productivity and technology investment, and clearly global trade. So, Mike, Chetan, Jens, thank you all for coming to help connect these dots. And to the listener, thank you for listening.

There are very few people in this world who I would describe as a genuine authority on anything, but Yolanda Edwards is the real deal and I will not hear otherwise. She is the former Creative Director of Condé Nast Traveler, the founder and publisher of Yolo Journal, which is honestly the most beautiful and inspiring travel publication in existence right now, and one of the most curious, well-traveled, tasteful humans I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Yolo Journal, both the print quarterly and the Substack, has completely changed how I think about travel. It is not a guide. It is an experience. And Yolanda is the reason for that.I got to sit down with her in New York, which felt right, and we talked about where she is obsessed with right now, the places she keeps returning to, and how she actually thinks about travel at this moment. I genuinely learn something every single time I talk to this woman.Produced by Dear MediaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

As the NFL Draft approaches, the tension around Dexter Lawrence continues to dominate the conversation, with the looming deadline creating urgency for the Giants to make a franchise-shaping decision. The possibility of a trade, a contract resolution, or a standoff hangs over everything, making it one of the biggest storylines heading into a packed New York sports night. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber shift gears with Shaun for a chaotic and entertaining Cinco de Luncho, mixing humor with sharp takes on the most intriguing storylines to watch. From draft night expectations to Mets struggles and Knicks playoff positioning, the crew balances analysis with off-the-rails moments, closing the hour with energy, debate, and plenty of personality.
The countdown to the NFL Draft is on, but the conversation quickly expands as draft night plans collide with a pivotal Knicks playoff matchup. With excitement building around a live draft party atmosphere, the discussion turns to expectations for New York basketball, bold predictions about the series against Atlanta, and the pressure that comes with being surrounded by passionate Knicks fans. From there, the focus shifts to baseball frustrations as callers and hosts debate Yankees lineup decisions and the future of top prospects like Jasson Dominguez. The conversation also dives into Jets draft strategy, trade scenarios, and how aggressive the team should be in building its offense. Add in a lively on air bet, media critiques, and strong opinions on recent NBA controversy, and the episode delivers a mix of insight, humor, and classic New York sports energy.
The NFL Draft party just got a major upgrade, and the energy is through the roof as the hosts react to the addition of a Knicks playoff game into the mix. What was already a big night for Jets and Giants fans now includes a pivotal Knicks Hawks matchup, setting the stage for a chaotic and unforgettable sports night filled with predictions, rivalries, and fan tension. The conversation leans into bold takes on the Knicks series outlook, including confidence in a dominant start and the potential for drama among die hard fans. With personalities clashing and rooting interests exposed, the debate highlights just how intense New York sports culture can get when multiple high stakes moments collide at once.
While the Mets drama dominates headlines, the Yankees give their fans plenty to be frustrated about as well. Evan and Tiki zero in on Aaron Boone's puzzling lineup decisions, questioning the logic behind benching key bats and “saving bullets” in a game that quickly got out of hand. For a team with postseason expectations, these early-season choices are raising eyebrows. The discussion dives into how lineup construction can directly impact momentum, why certain explanations from managers don't sit well with fans, and whether these are just April missteps or signs of a bigger issue. With both New York teams leaving their fanbases uneasy, the pressure is already building on decisions that could matter far more than they should this early in the season.
Frustration is building in New York as both the Yankees and Mets struggle to find consistency at the plate. While the Yankees' slow start raises questions about lineup decisions and player usage, there's still confidence the offense will eventually turn it around. The Mets, on the other hand, are dealing with deeper concerns as their losing streak exposes serious issues with roster construction and production. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber debate whether the Yankees are mishandling emerging talent like Ben Rice and why patience may still be the right approach. They also break down the Mets' offensive struggles, the impact of missing key contributors, and why no amount of lineup shuffling can fix a team that simply isn't hitting right now.
Mayor Q says the only thing left is a "Chiefs-esque" news conference announcing a new Royals ballpark at Crown Center.

Hal from Freeport has a great idea for shipping produce into New York City, suggesting that using Penn Station to move goods from the north shore to the south shore of Long Island could be a viable solution.

The wrongful death complaint filed by Benjamin Torres against Rex Heuermann, Asa Ellerup, and Victoria Heuermann in Suffolk County Supreme Court raises significant legal questions about civil liability, evidentiary sufficiency, and the boundaries of the statute of limitations in New York. Torres, the adult son of Gilgo Beach victim Valerie Mack, alleges wrongful death, civil conspiracy, concealment, and unjust enrichment stemming from the family's participation in a Peacock documentary that reportedly generated over a million dollars in compensation.Under New York law, a wrongful death action must generally be filed within two years. Valerie Mack was killed in 2000. The complaint argues the statute should be tolled based on Torres's minority at the time of the killing and the fact that his mother's remains were not publicly identified until 2020. Whether the court accepts that tolling argument will likely be the first dispositive issue in the case.The evidentiary allegations present additional challenges. Hair evidence recovered from victims' remains has been statistically linked to both Ellerup and Victoria Heuermann, but prosecutors in the criminal proceeding attributed that evidence to ordinary household transference — not direct involvement in the crimes. The complaint alleges the family knew of, concealed, or deliberately avoided learning about the murders. But the prosecution's own theory in the criminal case placed the family members outside the home during the killings. District Attorney Ray Tierney has repeatedly stated that neither Ellerup nor Victoria Heuermann has been charged and that both were away when the crimes were committed.Attorney Robert Macedonio, representing Ellerup and Victoria, has called the complaint reckless and expressed confidence it will be dismissed. The filing was brought by attorney John Ray, who previously represented Shannan Gilbert's family and who has made prior public accusations against the Heuermann family that did not result in criminal charges. The defense strategy, the viability of the unjust enrichment claim, and the prospects for dismissal are examined in full.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Defense attorney Bob Motta and retired FBI Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program Chief Robin Dreeke provide legal and behavioral analysis across three significant criminal and civil proceedings examined in this segment.The Heuermann guilty plea is addressed from both procedural and psychological perspectives. Motta examines the plea mechanics — the denied pre-trial motions, the admissibility of whole genome sequencing, the denied motion for severance, and the resulting defense calculus that led to a plea five months before trial. He addresses the inclusion of Karen Vergata as an admitted but uncharged victim, the implications of the no-further-prosecution provision, and the enforceability of the FBI cooperation requirement. Dreeke analyzes the behavioral implications of a defendant who maintained innocence for nearly three years before reversing course, the significance of the proffer session disclosure, and the profile-consistent patterns of control exhibited throughout the legal proceedings.The Torres v. Heuermann civil action is analyzed for its legal sufficiency and behavioral relevance. Motta addresses the statute of limitations challenge under New York's wrongful death statute, the evidentiary weight of household hair transference evidence in a civil proceeding where the burden of proof is preponderance of the evidence, and the legal pathway for unjust enrichment claims against media compensation. Dreeke examines the behavioral dynamics of family systems where one member engages in extended concealed criminal conduct and the psychological indicators that distinguish genuine ignorance from deliberate avoidance.The federal indictment in the Kepner case is examined as a distinct prosecution presenting unique legal and behavioral challenges. Motta addresses the federal jurisdiction basis, the transfer from juvenile to adult proceedings, the first-degree murder charge requiring proof of intent, and the defense implications of the reported evidence. Dreeke provides behavioral analysis of the alleged conduct, the claimed memory gap, and the significance of the evidence assembled during the sealed investigation.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
