Episode 111: Neal and Toby dive into the earnings reports from Microsoft and Alphabet and explain why big tech is ready to spend big on AI. Also, UPS Workers agree on a deal worth $30 billion to avoid a strike. And why did Twitter's rebrand to 'X' cost the company almost $20 billion in brand value? And how the UN is stepping in to stop a massive oil spill from a decaying tanker. Finally, why Americans don't feel guilty spending cold hard cash and some parents are spending thousands on... sorority consultants.
