EP 83 A co-pilot allegedly stabbing a pilot mid-flight is the kind of headline that makes you sit up straight, and we start right there. We talk through what was reported, why the pilot’s actions matter more than the attacker’s fame, and how “everything is fine” can flip into pure chaos in seconds. If you’re even a little nervous about flying, this part hits hard.
Then we zoom out to the stuff that’s grinding everyone down: gas prices pushing toward $2 a liter, diesel costs creeping into food prices, and the constant feeling that big “solutions” never reach normal people fast enough. We get into the G7 oil release news, pipeline arguments, and the practical case for energy self-reliance, while still acknowledging the environmental and routing fights that stall projects for years. We also touch on the protests in France over education standards and why frustration with schools is spreading well beyond one country.
Sports gives us the perfect lens for accountability. We react to NFL discipline, a drunk driving story, and the obvious question: how does someone with unlimited resources still make that choice? From there we hit one of our favorite segments, a pandemic entrepreneurship story about Bruce Bolts batting gloves, a $150,000 bet on an 18-year-old’s idea, and how that gamble turned into a business worth millions while helping an Indonesian factory survive. We wrap with NBA preseason chatter, push-off and foul-baiting officiating, LeBron’s fit in Philly, plus a real conversation about driverless trucks and what automation could do to jobs.
