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":"Google's Bug War, 197x Movie Profit & LA's Next Mayor | GCP 1008","slug":"google-s-bug-war-197x-movie-profit-la-s-next-mayor-gcp-1008","published_at":"2026-06-01T07:31:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/group-chat-1064096/google-s-bug-war-197x-movie-profit-la-s-next-mayor-gcp-1008","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/group-chat-1064096","url":"https://groupchat.libsyn.com/googles-bug-war-197x-movie-profit-las-next-mayor-gcp-1008","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/groupchat/GCP_1008_PODCAST_mixdown.mp3?dest-id=2184830","summary":"Group Chat News is back with the hottest stories of the week including Google's about to release 32 million genetically-modified mosquitoes in Florida — the boys break down why it's the worst PR move big tech could possibly make right now, and what Brad Gerstner is doing differently that the rest of Silicon Valley should copy. Then: a 26-year-old named Curry Barker made a horror movie for $750K that's already grossed $148M in three weeks. That's a 197x return on a $750K bet — while Hollywood studios are losing money on $200M tentpole films. The barriers to entry just collapsed and the establishment isn't ready. Plus the LA mayoral race heats up: why we're \"quiet Spencer Pratt voters,\" whether he can beat Karen Bass in the runoff, and what his rise says about a city that's finally fed up. The Mamdani-in-NY parallel, the demo that decides it, and why this might be the biggest mayoral election in California history. Also covered: why America stopped demanding excellence (and China didn't), Berkshire Hathaway's quiet bet on Scottsdale homebuilders, World Cup ticket prices getting borderline criminal, and why Wembanyama might be the most well-rounded young athlete in sports.","meta_description":"Group Chat News is back with the hottest stories of the week including Google's about to release 32 million genetically-modified mosquitoes in Florida — t…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":3926,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/group-chat-1064096/episodes/google-s-bug-war-197x-movie-profit-la-s-next-mayor-gcp-1008/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/group-chat-1064096/google-s-bug-war-197x-movie-profit-la-s-next-mayor-gcp-1008.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
