  • Please fix your Audio Levels!

    After almost 2 years of mentally and verbally complaining I am finally writing the feedback.. I listen to you guys 98% of time on my drive to work. You are sandwiched with the TheDailyAus, TheUpdate… and Your Audio Levels are so, SOO much lower than the other podcasts! Some episodes my car volume is in the MAX to be able to listen to you. Other than that, good show, engaging and informative. Thank you!

  • Good content annoying delivery

    Content is great but delivery is unnatural and annoying. Back and forth is disjointed and not conversational. The constant “boy” and “man” is cringe.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Who’s really paying for AI? | RBA hikes to 18-year high
Q: They're expected to spend almost US 800 billion on AI this year and a growing share is borrowed. Is that a red flag or is that just what a boom looks like?
Mullins says the scale of spending is a potential warning, but companies remain highly profitable and mostly finance it from free cash flow. Rising debt could become unsustainable if spending keeps increasing.
Who’s really paying for AI? | RBA hikes to 18-year high
Q: When most people think of AI boom, they picture chat GBT. What's actually being built behind the scenes and why should an everyday person care?
Mullins describes data centers, specialized GPUs and memory chips as essential infrastructure that enables AI chatbots to work.
David Jones and the death of the department store?
Q: So why did they need to take on such a big loan right now?
Concerns about stock levels ahead of the busy Christmas period and insolvency rumours put pressure on David Jones to secure funds. The loan was used to buy stock and allow time for negotiations with landlords.
