Andre kicks things off with a look at Allbirds’ bizarre pivot from shoes to AI and data centers, and what that says about the current VC-fueled AI bubble. From there, they connect the dots between AI hype, market fragility, and a “hidden recession” that most people are already living through.

We also talk about:

  • Layoffs and the illusion of job creation (underemployment, gig work, and bad labor stats)
  • Tariffs, supply chain pain, and the everyday cost of living (including $95 gas fill-ups)
  • Local economics in North Carolina (data centers, tax breaks, sports complexes, Apple’s RTP campus)
  • Corporate loyalty vs. reality and why so many workers should be thinking about working for themselves
  • The mess in college sports: coaching changes, NIL money, conference realignment, and whether the ACC is even the ACC anymore
  • A candid segment on parenting, sports, and pressure—how our own upbringings shaped us, and how we’re trying not to repeat the same mistakes with our kids

Quick hits on Tiger Woods, The Rock, Kiss/Gene Simmons, and the Olympics as examples of exploitation, fame, and getting paid (or not) for your value.
The guys wrap by talking about the importance of having a small circle of people you can be real with, why these conversations matter for their sanity, and why they keep hitting “record".
