(skip to 52:00 for the plot twist)

The Art of Big Things

What do Bud Light, Star Wars and the American banking industry have in common? The Supply and Demand boys think these and other enterprises have become too big, and dissect the fine line between growing something good and sustaining what made it good, between charm and greed, between Chick-Fil-A and TGI Fridays. They also answer some inquisitive listener mail. Dive into the best episode yet and respond with your thoughts!

American Teacher Warrior

It's official. Greg has hung up his teacher hat for a new job in education policy research, and now, he tells all. Nate, Mike, and Steven ask away about true teacher stories and the state of middle school education in 2023. They learn about the Reset Room, chronic misbehavers, parent-teacher conferences, Tiktok, Borgs, and the Mount Midoriyama of teaching certifications.

Beyond the Monkey Brain

Biomedical engineer and Supply and Demand brethren Sam Palczewski joins the podcast for a deep discussion on artificial intelligence. ChatGPT is just the beginning. How will humanity deal with the threat - or perhaps opportunity - of the Singularity looming on the horizon? And what is the Singularity, anyway? Sam walks through all of this and more as the boys inquire about the future of industry, education, and human experience in a world of artificial general intelligence. On a related note, Greg helps shed light on a mysterious story about a chatbot that speaks in puns.

Winning at Losing

The suppliers return from winter recess to discuss the state of gambling in the 21st century. Mike reflects on high stakes in the NFL, Steven shares war stories from the poker table, Nate reminisces on one fateful day trading GameStop stock, and Greg steadies the ship with more sage financial wisdom.
