From Kanye to Kavanaugh, IPOs to DUIs, no topic is off-limits…as long as hosts Chris \"Drama\" Pfaff, Dee Murthy and Anand Murthy have something to say about it. In a world of fake news, poor judgment, and overall bad decision-making, we're here to give you the facts…or at least, the facts as we see them. @drama @deemurthy @anandmurthy","last_synced_at":"2026-06-08T16:20:33.033277+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/group-chat-1064096"},"episode":{"title":"Bezos Is Back, AI Is Taking Over, and Ales Grey is in Walmart | Ep. 996","slug":"bezos-is-back-ai-is-taking-over-and-ales-grey-is-in-walmart-ep-996","published_at":"2026-03-23T07:51:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/group-chat-1064096/bezos-is-back-ai-is-taking-over-and-ales-grey-is-in-walmart-ep-996","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/group-chat-1064096","url":"https://groupchat.libsyn.com/bezos-is-back-ai-is-taking-over-and-ales-grey-is-in-walmart-ep-996","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/groupchat/GCP_996_PODCAST_mixdown.mp3?dest-id=2184830","summary":"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.
