 What if your marriage license came with an expiration date?In this hilarious and thought-provoking episode of The JB and Sandy Show, the crew dives into everything from high-end cowboy boots to unconventional marriage advice. It's a wild ride through Austin culture, relationship real talk, and the quirks that make Texas, well… Texas. The show kicks off with the Boot Wars heating up on South Congress. Lucchese drops a bombshell with their new University of Texas Longhorn boots, complete with ostrich leather and burnt orange flair—leaving Tacovas and their Chili's collab looking a little “chumpy.” Trisha breaks down the styles, prices, and why these boots are about to take over DKR Stadium. Then it's all about showing off Austin to out-of-town radio hosts during a national conference. From Terry Black's BBQ to Waymo self-driving Ubers, and even a guy who didn't know what a tamale was, the team shares laugh-out-loud stories of culture shock and local pride. Finally, the conversation turns personal as Sandy and Trisha reveal their long-standing idea of a “marriage lease”—a concept now echoed by none other than Christie Brinkley. Should marriages be renewable every 5 years? The crew debates the pros, cons, and what their daughter thinks of the whole thing.

This week on Autonomy Markets, Grayson Brulte and Walter Piecyk discuss Uber's growing autonomous vehicle investments and why they won't be modest. While Uber publicly framed their autonomy spending as “modest” and emphasized share buybacks, CEO Dara Khosrowshahi made it clear on the company's Q2 2025 earnings call that more OEM partnerships and AV deals are on the horizon. At the same time, Uber pointed to “recycling” past investments, raising the question: why recycle when the company's growing free cash flow can support both increased buybacks and significant investments in the autonomy ecosystem? Is this simply a bid to reassure Wall Street while simultaneously preparing for an autonomous future?Anything is possible and we broke it all down on this week's edition of Autonomy Markets along with Lyft's renewed interest in autonomy and their willingness to invest and own assets. As Lyft prepares to spend (with a smaller balance sheet), Uber's autonomy investments will be anything but modest.Episode Chapters0:00 Uber's Autonomy Investments Narrative 3:49 Who Finances Robotaxi Fleets?6:16 What is Holding Back Growth of AVs?8:26 Autonomous Driving Systems10:20 Uber's AV Exclusive Deals 12:05 Uber Recycling Investments 16:09 Uber's Relationship with Waymo 18:49 Lyft is Leaning into Autonomy21:52 Lyft Partners with Baidu for Europe and UK Markets 2428 Managing AV Fleets 28:24 Aurora LIVE31:24 Zoox NHTSA Exemption 32:47 Autonomy Expands the Rideshare Market 37:33 Next WeekRecorded on Thursday, August 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™.

It's a big ol' update episode with just Kelly and Lizz today! First, the renovation at Lizz's house is moving right along. You could basically call her a general contractor, but please don't for legal reasons. But that isn't the only big news in the St. John household as Lizz is about to join the minivan mom family. What car is she driving now? Speaking of new cars, Kelly is starting to get the new car itch. She's been in her current ride for over 18 months, a record for her. What should she pick up next?  Since they are on the topic of cars and car seats, there is some DRAMA in the car seat community and Kelly needs to get some things off her chest. A new Evenflo car seat has a lot of people talking. Is it just a cash grab? It opens up a lot of talk about car seat safety tests and why the public doesn't get more information on the results.  Kelly is on her hostess grind and shares tips on how to become the perfect hostess. This leads Kelly and Lizz to talk about their upcoming Thawgust and they need your help! Got a recipe to submit? They want to hear it!  It's been a while and there is so much to break down in Industry News. First, there is no stopping Waymo as they are set to invade Dallas shortly with plans to expand further in the next year. Mary Kay is still giving their biggest associates cars and it's about to go all electric. A woman got revenge after her car got repossessed in the most sneaky way.

On this episode of Unsupervised Learning, in the wake of Elon Musk's xAI Grok chatbot turning anti-Semitic following a recent update, Razib catches up with Nikolai Yakovenko about the state of AI in the summer of 2025. Nearly three years after their first conversations on the topic, the catch up, covering ChatGPT's release and the anticipation of massive macroeconomic transformations driven by automation of knowledge-work. Yakovenko is a former professional poker player and research scientist at Google, Twitter (now X) and Nvidia (now the first $4 trillion company). With more than a decade on the leading edge computer science, Yakovenko has been at the forefront of the large-language-model revolution that was a necessary precursor to the rise of companies like OpenAI, Anthropic and Perplexity, as well as hundreds of smaller startups. Currently, he is the CEO of DeepNewz, an AI-driven news startup that leverages the latest models to retrieve the ground-truth on news-stories. Disclosure: Razib actively uses and recommends the service and is an advisor to the company. Razib and Yakovenko first tackle why Mark Zuckerberg's Meta is offering individual pay packages north of $200 million, poaching some of OpenAI's top individual contributors. Yakovenko observes that it seems Meta is giving up on its open-source Llama project, their competitor to the models that underpin OpenAI and ChatGPT (he also comments that it seems that engineers at xAI are disappointed in the latest version of Grok). Overall, though the pay-packages of AI engineers and researchers are high; there is now a big shakeout as massive companies with the money and engineering researchers pull away from their competitors. Additionally, in terms of cutting-edge models, the US and China are the only two international players (Yakovenko notes parenthetically that Chinese engineers are also the primary labor base of American AI firms). They also discuss how it is notable that almost three years after the beginning of the current booming repeated hype-cycles of artificial intelligence began to crest, we are still no closer to “artificial general intelligence” and the “intelligence super-explosion” that Ray Kurzweil has been predicting for generations. AI is partially behind the rise of companies like Waymo that are on the verge of transforming the economy, but overall, even though AI is still casting around for its killer app, big-tech has fully bought in and believes that the next decade will determine who wins the future.

This week on Autonomy Markets, Grayson Brulte and Walter Piecyk discuss Waymo's expansion to Dallas without Uber, instead partnering with Avis and renewing a relationship that dates back to 2017 and the emerging Tesla double standard. Waymo's multi-year partnership with Avis signals the company's desire to maintain flexibility, rather than locking into exclusive partnerships. With Avis once again joining the autonomous vehicle industry as a service provider, could Hertz and Enterprise be next to jump back in to the industry? As Waymo continues to expand to new markets, Tesla ha recently launched a ride-hailing service in the San Francisco Bay Area, covering a vast service area from San Jose to Berkeley, albeit with safety drivers due to California's regulatory constraints.Staying in the policy theme, Waymo is facing fierce resistance in Boston, where several City Council members are attempting to ban autonomous vehicles unless a safety driver is present. The opposition underscores the uphill battle autonomous vehicles companies still face in when expanding to new markets. Then there is the Tesla double standard. No matter what the company does, someone seemingly will find something wrong, something to nitpick and something to complain about. From social media to regulatory hearings, the double standard is real, and unfortunately it is shaping some aspect of the public autonomous vehicle narrative.Episode Chapters0:00 Waymo Expands to Dallas2:07 Waymo Partners with Avis Once Again6:19 Dallas Robotaxi Market8:24 Rental Car Companies11:31 Waymo Highway Testing13:30 Waymo's Unfriendly Boston Welcome 19:28 Tesla's Bay Area Ride-Hail Expansion 22:04 Tesla and Waymo's Rabid Fans 25:39 Tesla Robotaxi27:48 Tesla & Waymo's Impact on Uber29:03 Autonomous Trucking31:45 Aurora 34:52 Investor Interest in Autonomous Trucking36:04 Next WeekRecorded on Thursday, July 31, 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™.

Thomas Raymond looks at why AI is so important for the tech sector. He breaks down how Alphabet (GOOGL) is implementing AI across diverse business segments, including Waymo's self-driving cars and YouTube's algorithm, as well as increased Google Cloud revenue. Thomas argues GOOGL is still underappreciated: “This name should be richly valued…and is trading at a discount to the S&P 500.” He calls Nvidia (NVDA) the “metaphorical gas station” fueling the AI phenomenon and also believes it is undervalued.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Overdrive – Cars, Transport & Culture Originally broadcast: 14 June 2025 Host: David Brown | Guest: Paul Murrell (SeniorDriverAus.com) In this episode of Overdrive, we explore the intersection of technology, culture, and controversy in the transport world. From electric vehicle supply chains to self-driving cars and tragic consequences of urban mobility experiments, we cover it all. The show blends analysis, interviews, and a dose of humour to make sense of the evolving car and transport landscape. Key Segments and Topics Covered: 1. News Headlines and Industry Trends We begin with a look at China's suspension of key rare earth exports, which has forced companies like Ford to pause production in the U.S. The discussion examines Australia's opportunity and challenges in filling the gap, particularly around local skills shortages in metallurgy and refining. 2. Commercial Driver Health Reforms Paul and David unpack a new discussion paper from the National Transport Commission, aimed at improving health screening for commercial drivers. The goal is to detect high-risk conditions—like sleep apnea—before they cause accidents, using evidence-based protocols and fleet-monitoring technology. 3. Artificial Intelligence in Road Safety Two firms are pushing AI into different lanes of vehicle safety. Nauto supports human drivers with real-time warnings based on driver behaviour, while Imagry is developing fully autonomous, map-free driving. We contrast the philosophical and practical implications of both approaches. 4. Vehicle Ruggedness and Robotic Testing Ford's Ranger undergoes brutal durability testing at Victoria's You Yangs proving ground using robotic test drivers—highlighting the importance of consistency and safety in off-road evaluation. The discussion also references how electric powertrains could enhance off-road capability. 5. E-scooter Fatality and Policy Response in Perth A tragic incident involving a pedestrian killed by a drunk e-scooter rider has led to an indefinite suspension of Perth's e-scooter hire program. Paul and David discuss the broader implications of poor regulation, excessive speeds, and rising injury statistics across Australia. 6. The Rapid Rise of Waymo in San Francisco Self-driving car company Waymo now accounts for 27% of San Francisco's rideshare market. We explore why consistency, comfort, and reduced crash rates are contributing to faster-than-expected adoption of autonomous vehicles, despite their higher cost compared to traditional rideshare options. 7. Car Myths Debunked From battery longevity and fuel economy to aerodynamics and fire risk in EVs, the team breaks down popular car myths. Key points include: Car batteries can last well beyond five years with proper maintenance. Smaller engines aren't always more fuel-efficient in real-world driving. EVs are statistically less likely to catch fire than petrol vehicles, but fires are harder to extinguish. 8. Spotlight: Giotto Bizzarrini We dive into the remarkable story of Giotto Bizzarrini, a brilliant but overlooked automotive engineer who worked with Ferrari, Lamborghini, and others before creating his own exotic car marque. The discussion includes a recent revival of his 5300 GT Strada and the challenges of branding in the automotive world. 9. Road Test: 2025 Mitsubishi Triton GLS We test the latest Mitsubishi Triton dual cab ute and assess its appeal to both tradies and families. Topics include: Toughness and payload capability Security and lockable tray cover Interior simplicity vs. tech complexity Safety features and lane assist quirks Parking challenges due to size We also touch on the marketing impact of using Russell Coight in ads, and how humour wears thin over time.

This week, the boys talked about AI generated music in the classroom and sandwiches. Jeff also had a very important public service announcement.

The A.M. Update Week in Review highlights key moments from the week. Malcolm Gladwell's Wall Street Journal talk argues driverless cars, tested with Waymo in Phoenix, are too safe, incentivizing pedestrian misbehavior like kids playing soccer on streets, potentially causing urban gridlock. A discussion with Dr. Beisner reframes the global warming debate as not about human contribution (which he concedes is negligible) but about whether Earth exists for human flourishing or vice versa, questioning if conceding human impact is strategic. Tucker Carlson's Turning Point USA speech critiques conservatives for focusing on minor victories like gender in sports while ignoring bigger issues like drugs and economic decline, linking moral and middle-class decay. Richard Nixon's In the Arena excerpt on 1960s education dysfunction parallels today's societal challenges, emphasizing education as a linchpin. The Trump administration earns a B+/A grade, marred by slow DOJ/FBI action on accountability, despite strong immigration and military recruitment gains. A poll shows 70.3% give Trump a “pass,” with critiques on Epstein files and Syria policy.   Malcolm Gladwell, driverless cars, Waymo, pedestrian behavior, global warming, Dr. Beisner, human flourishing, Tucker Carlson, Turning Point USA, moral decay, middle class, Richard Nixon, education dysfunction, Trump administration, DOJ accountability, Epstein files

This week on Autonomy Markets, Grayson Brulte and Walter Piecyk discuss Tesla and Alphabet's Q2 2025 earnings calls, Tesla's growing robotaxi ambitions and the launch of Zoox's limited fixed-route service in Las Vegas.Tesla's Robotaxi expansion ambitions are growing, and on their Q2 2025 earnings call, Elon Musk disclosed that Tesla is looking to expand robotaxi service to Nevada, Florida, Arizona and the Bay Area as soon as this weekend. Two key factors behind Tesla's ability to scale quickly are its expansive Supercharger network and its streamlined sensor suite, which is much simpler than those used by Waymo.In Las Vegas, Zoox which requires a robust sensor-suite opened service to members of the public through what the company calls an “Explorers Program”. The operation is highly restricted running only between Resorts World and Luxor, with every ride requiring concierge assistance, giving it the feel of a Disneyland ride rather than an robotaxi service.While robotaxis are scaling, the autonomous trucking industry continues to work through its business model. Multiple models are emerging, with some companies focused on licensing their technology and others building vertically integrated operations.This week, Walt joined the PACCAR earnings call to ask a question about their partnership with Aurora.Episode Chapters0:00 Tesla Q2 2025 Earnings / Robotaxi4:26 FSD Take Rate6:53 Safety9:38 Robotaxi Expansion to Las Vegas?11:15 Zoox Las Vegas Service17:55 Who Launches Commercial Service First in Vegas?

Today, a roundup of the key earnings reported after the close yesterday - especially Tesla, which dumped more than 5% on dire results as well as on CEO Elon Musk's guidance for the next few quarters. This inspired a little deep dive into the autonomous driving space, as we discuss Alphabet's Waymo and a surprising possible competitor in the coming years that isn't Tesla. Also, we look at Alphabet's positive report, the latest in FX and a look ahead at today's key earnings reports and more. Today's pod hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J.

Big Tech earnings are rolling in and Alphabet just dropped a strong quarter, with search and cloud firing on all cylinders. Anthony and Piers unpack why fears of AI eating into Google's ad machine are overblown (for now), and what a mind-bending $85 billion AI spend tells us about the battle for dominance.Meanwhile, Tesla's numbers paint a rougher picture. Revenue down, profits off a cliff, and EV incentives scrapped. But Musk's betting big on robotaxis and he's not alone. The guys break down the race between Tesla, Waymo, and Amazon's Zoox for the future of driverless mobility.Also in this episode: Trump's new Japan trade pact sends Japanese automakers soaring, a look at how the carry trade could backfire on the US, and why meme stocks like Krispy Kreme are suddenly back in the spotlight.(00:00) Intro(03:07) Alphabet Earnings(07:08) Google Cloud & AI(09:26) $85B AI Spend(14:29) Mag 7 Check-In(16:53) Tesla Misses(21:24) Musk's Big Bets(23:20) RoboTaxi Showdown(28:39) Can Tesla Win?(32:38) Trump's Japan Deal(36:54) Carry Trade Risk(40:43) Meme Stocks Return(46:23) WallStreetBets Redux

With Elon Musk's Tesla piloting its robotaxi service in Austin, Texas and Waymo expanding, it's the perfect time to revisit our interview with Zoox CEO Aicha Evans. She went deep with WSJ's Tim Higgins and Christopher Mims on her decisions to sell the company to Amazon for over $1.2 billion and to keep Zoox's radical design for a driverless car that looks like a lounge on wheels. As she and her rivals work to win customers' trust, Evans's insights into robotaxi safety are even more timely. Plus, in a brand-new segment Higgins and Mims dig into why this moment is so crucial for the robotaxi business to reach surprising new customers–like parents.

From balloon internet, drone delivery, and self-driving cars, Alphabet's X chief Astro Teller reveals how the company systematically chases the impossible!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1183What We Discuss with Astro Teller:Alphabet's X systematically approaches moonshots by requiring three elements: a huge problem, a radical proposed solution, and breakthrough technology that gives a chance — not guarantee — of success.Prototype cheaply and fast to test assumptions. The agricultural robot started as bicycle wheels, PVC tubing, laptop, GoPro and duct tape — not expensive equipment.Bring regulators into the process early as partners rather than waiting until the end. They become collaborators when included in the journey, not obstacles.Detach identity from ideas. People who tie self-worth to specific concepts struggle at X. Success comes from being great at filtering ideas, not being right about yours.Ask yourself: "How fast and cheaply can I get evidence I'm wrong?"

In this special Market Mondays clip, the hosts dive deep into why Uber might just be the sleeper stock of the decade. Troy Millings breaks down his bullish long-term view on Uber, especially as the company stands to benefit from the coming wave of autonomous vehicles. With competitors like Waymo pushing into new markets and the constant talk around Tesla and robo-taxis, is Uber's powerful platform and trusted brand its ultimate edge?The conversation unpacks how autonomous vehicle partnerships could revolutionize Uber, especially as driver costs are the biggest expense for the company. Food delivery isn't left out—imagine a world where your meals arrive without a driver, putting even more revenue right into Uber's pocket.Ian Dunlap and Rashad Bilal join in to discuss Uber's recent stock performance, its impressive turnaround from the low $20s in 2022, and why the company isn't even at $100 per share yet. They touch on Uber's competition with Lyft, the fallout from the old Uber vs. Google/Waymo lawsuit, and why Uber remains the household name despite the ride-sharing wars.If you're curious about investing strategies, Troy also breaks down *leap options*: what they are, why he prefers to go out as far as possible (sometimes 2–3 years ahead), and how deep-in-the-money strikes can maximize gains while minimizing risk. He throws in a reference to how prominent figures like Nancy Pelosi use similar long-term option strategies for major blue-chip stocks, and explains his personal approach to playing Uber for the long game.Whether you're an investor in the tech space, a fan of finance news, or you just want the inside scoop on where ride-sharing and delivery is heading, this clip packs actionable insight you won't want to miss.*Topics covered:* Uber's potential in autonomous vehicles The competition (Waymo, Lyft, Tesla's robo-taxi ambitions) The importance of trust and platform dominance in ride-sharing How autonomous food delivery could boost Uber's revenue Explanation of leap options and “deep-in-the-money” strategies Real-world examples from high-profile investors The reason Uber's stock price could soon reflect its full potentialStay tuned for more Market Mondays as we bring you fresh takes, real numbers, and strategies from the streets to the boardroom.*Don't forget to like, subscribe, and comment with your thoughts or questions below!* #Uber #MarketMondays #Stocks #Investing #AutonomousVehicles #OptionsTrading #LeapOptions #Finance #Rideshare #TechStocks #Waymo #Tesla #FinancialEducation #StockMarket #LongTermInvestingOur Sponsors:* Check out PNC Bank: https://www.pnc.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/marketmondays/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
