    OpenAI Kills Sora, Goggins Re-Enlists & Meek Mill Is Pushing AI | GCP Ep. 997

    Dee and Anand are back with a midweek episode packed with big stories. OpenAI just shut down Sora — their viral AI video editing app — and Disney pulled their billion dollar investment. Is OpenAI spreading itself too thin while Anthropic quietly wins the AI race? The guys break down why the cost structure of AI doesn't make sense yet and what needs to happen for it all to click. David Goggins just re-enlisted in the Marines at 51 years old. The Army raised its enlistment age to 42 and the internet is losing its mind. Is this patriotism, content, or both? And what does it mean for military recruiting when the biggest thought leaders of young men in America start signing up? Meek Mill went viral for pushing AI in underprivileged schools, got clowned on the internet, and then got personally invited by a top tech executive to make it happen. The guys break down what the moment actually means and why Meek Mill might be onto something real. Plus: The NBA is losing America and nobody wants to admit why. A 20 year old just won $3 million from Facebook and YouTube for childhood social media addiction — and every personal injury lawyer in the country just took notes. Blackstone drops $1.4 billion on an Indian cricket team. And why every billionaire in LA is suddenly obsessed with sleep. A packed 997.

    Bezos Is Back, AI Is Taking Over, and Ales Grey is in Walmart | Ep. 996

    Dee and Anand sit down with actor Adam Rodriguez and footwear entrepreneur Steve Pitino for a massive announcement: Steve's American-made comfort shoe brand Ales Grey just landed in Walmart, the largest retailer in the world. The guys break down how five years living above a factory in China, zero overseas supply chain, and algae-based materials led to a $60 shoe that nurses, doctors, and frontline workers are calling life-changing and why this launch couldn't come at a better moment with tariffs reshaping American manufacturing. Then the crew pivots to the weekend's biggest sports story: the Fanatics Flag Football event in LA. Was it actually good? What does Logan Paul and Tom Brady's role say about the future of live sports entertainment?  Plus: Jeff Bezos is raising $100 billion to re-enter the game through AI and robotics manufacturing  and why that might be the single biggest bullish signal for America's future. Anthropic's new free certification, Waymo going freeway-legal, Tesla Full Self-Driving, and why Sergey Brin showing up at an AI open meetup says everything. And to close: life expectancy is actually up, fentanyl deaths are down 26%, and GLP-1s are going generic  so why does everyone feel like the world is ending? A packed 996. Episode 1000 is coming. 🎁 EXCLUSIVE LISTENER DEAL — Ales Grey x Walmart BOGO The Ales Grey Pro 3 is now live on Walmart.com 100% made in America, algae-based comfort, arch support built in, starting at $60.

    The New Economy: AI Builds It, GLP-1s Shrink It | Ep 994

    *:first-child]:mt-0 [&>*:first-child>*:first-child]:pt-0 [&>*:last-child]:mb-0 [&>*:first-child>*:first-child]:pb-0" dir="auto"> *:first-child]:mt-0 [&>*:first-child>*:first-child]:pt-0 [&>*:last-child]:mb-0 [&>*:first-child>*:first-child]:pb-0" dir="auto"> It is a special midweek drop and the group chat is packed. This episode covers the forces quietly reshaping the economy right now — from AI slashing business costs overnight, to GLP-1 drugs gutting the snack industry, to private credit markets showing their first real cracks. The guys break down what is actually happening beneath the headlines, why sports viewership is at an all-time high, which consumer brands are quietly hitting $10 billion, and why the stock market may be setting up for a violent rally. No fluff, no filler — just the conversations happening in every serious group chat right now.   Topics Covered This Episode: 1. AI Is Replacing Your Entire Software Stack How using Claude cut one company's AWS bill from $9,500 a month down to a projected $500 — and what that means for every business owner still paying for legacy SaaS tools. Plus: Lovable jumps from a $300M to $400M run rate in a single month, and Anthropic adds $6 billion in run rate in two months. The AI economy is not coming — it is already here. 2. The GLP-1 Effect Is Hitting Corporate Earnings Campbell Soup's snack division dropped 6% in a single quarter with no obvious explanation other than 30 million Americans now on GLP-1 medications. The guys explore the downstream ripple effects — grocery aisles, fast food, supplement brands, and what retailers like Kroger do when people simply stop snacking. 3. Private Credit Is Cracking Blackstone, Blue Owl, and Cliffwater are all facing record redemption requests after two major auto suppliers backed by private credit funds went under. Is this an economy problem, a bad-lending problem, or a panic problem? The guys break it all down and explain why it matters even if you have never heard of private credit. 4. Sports Is on an Unprecedented Run Every sport — NFL, NBA, MLS, World Baseball Classic, UFC — is posting record ratings. The guys explain why gambling, fragmented media, and the death of cable news are all fueling the surge, and why the Tom Brady flag football league and the Gronk vs. Logan Paul beef are the perfect example of how modern sports entertainment actually works. 5. The $10 Billion Consumer Brands Nobody Is Talking About Quince hits a $10 billion valuation doing nearly $2 billion in revenue by going factory-direct to consumers. The guys break down why consumer investing is back, who is losing market share, and what the rise of brands like Keats and Whatnot means for traditional retail. 6. Millionaire Taxes, Fraud, and the Wealth Exodus Washington State's new 9.9% millionaire tax, the staggering scale of hospice care fraud in Los Angeles, and why billionaires — and now regular millionaires — are leaving high-tax states for Nevada, Texas, and Florida. The argument is simple: clean up the fraud first, and you would not need to raise taxes at all. 7. The Stock Market Rally Nobody Wants to Miss Goldman Sachs is calling for an extreme stock rally. The guys explain why $8.5 trillion sitting in money markets has nowhere else to go, why the US stock market is the only investable market left in the world, and why owning assets — not just earning a salary — is the only play that makes sense right now.   Group Chat News drops every week.
