Political Playlist Happy Hour

On this episode of the Happy Hour, Michael and Anna discuss How To Talk About Data Centers, specifically the one in Utah that Shark Tank's own Mr. Wonderful is trying to build at the expense of the taxpayers--oh, and the whole environment of the state of Utah. He even got into a combative interview with the new People's Hero Tucker Carlson over why taxpayers should fund this type of project. Data centers are all the rage right now, given the exponential growth of AI, and the massive computing power needs of these systems. So whether you use Claude or not, you better believe AI is here to stay and we better have a plan for how to safely do this.

On this Happy Hour, Anna goes it alone as she welcomes author Soman Chainani to discuss his new book, "Young World" which imagines a world in which a 17-year-old becomes president of the United States and sets off on the adventure of a lifetime. It's a New York Times bestseller, and that makes sense based on Soman's track-record. He's the author of the wildly popular children's series "The School For Good And Evil" which has sold over 4.5 million copies in 80 different countries, and was a hit show on Netflix.

On this episode of the happy hour, Michael and Anna discuss how to talk about Trump's upcoming visit to China, where he will hold a crucial summit with President Xi to discuss the ongoing war in Iran, Taiwan, Trade, and most importantly AI safety. This is a highly consequential meeting, though as we point out, it isn't likely that any major agreement comes from this. But we discuss what a "win" looks like and why you should be aware of these core agenda items.

On this happy hour, Michael and Anna sit down with Democratic Congressional candidate Jordan Wood. He's running for Maine's 2nd Congressional district, currently held by Playlister Jarred Golden, a Democrat in a very and we mean VERY purple district. Jordan talks a lot about how he's reaching across the aisle to speak to fellow Mainers about what matters most, and the challenges as well as the benefits of running in such a closely divided district. His primary is coming up, and we're really glad he stopped by to talk with us. He's super smart, and we think you'll like the conversation!

On this happy hour, Michael, Anna and Anthony tackle that age-old Jerry Seinfeld question "what's the deal with AI bipartisanship?" It's a good one, and one that we three tackle with equal parts fear and amazement, as the issue of AI and potential regulation is perhaps the only thing a profoundly divided Congress is finding common ground on. But the big questions remain, what will Congress actually do and more importantly, WHEN will they do it. Because while we love Claude, we do not want Claude to replace these three lovable podcast hosts!
