  • Will AI Make Trade Schools the New Path for Young Americans?
    Apr 1 2026

    Jerremy Alexander Newsome asks Spencer and Dave to forecast how AI will reshape America’s workforce over the next 25 years. Spencer predicts corporate slides and analytics done by AI, pushing young workers toward trade schools and hands-on skilled trades. Healthcare becomes more efficient and potentially cheaper. Dave says the U.S. lacks coordinated workforce planning like Denmark, Germany, Singapore, and Japan. Younger workers feel uncertain while older ones fear being boxed out. Spencer urges learning AI and its drawbacks without overcommitting. The old American deal broke due to expensive debt-financed degrees and unaffordable housing. Invest, avoid crushing debt, build people skills and real-world connections.

  • Is AI Efficiency Just Code for Headcount Reduction in Consulting?
    Mar 31 2026

    Corporate AI pitches sell efficiency but often mean headcount reduction. Spencer and Dave discuss how job losses to AI have already happened at large research firms through restructuring. Spencer details deployments in customer experience with AI kiosks, multi-cloud data integration to inject AI, and coding tools that spit out near-complete solutions fast. Early client quick wins include document and PDF automation for accuracy and compliance. Dave contrasts AI with blockchain, calling the latter a slow fancy spreadsheet with limited adoption while labeling AI a probabilistic non-deterministic chaos agent wired into mission-critical systems including government, creating moral and ethical risks. They debate whether AI growth drives more value or just job replacement. Spencer says younger workers reject butts in seats, use AI tools, and focus on driving value. Healthcare and professional research are heavily impacted while some sales roles grow and sustainability field scientists stay less affected.

  • Relief Rally or Oil Virus? Markets & War Signals (Full)
    Mar 30 2026

    Jerremy and Dave break down a wild market open as Q1 2026 closes. Tech, oil, and metals are up, but the VIX sits above 30. They see it as a relief rally fueled by escalating tensions in the Middle East, with Trump’s threat on the strait pushing oil higher. They won’t buy “war is over” talk without real signals from Iran. Jerremy maps it to past March selloffs and calls for SPY to test 650 before sliding toward 610–603 and bottoming mid-early April. They unpack the oil virus moving from Asia to Europe and the U.S., how higher oil feeds inflation, and where the real trading setups sit. Plus a grounded look at AI limits, job shifts, and home robots.
