Paul starts this Friday commute in a great mood after blasting One by Metallica on SiriusXM… but somewhere between I-95 and the gas station sign, the conversation takes a turn into the realities of 2026.

From nearly $100 truck fill-ups in South Florida to rising diesel prices, AI-driven layoffs, housing costs, and the uncertainty around global conflicts affecting oil markets, this episode turns into a real-time snapshot of what a lot of Americans are thinking right now:

Why does everything feel so expensive?

Paul riffs on:

• How gas prices may affect summer travel
• Whether AI is moving too fast for the workforce
• South Florida housing insanity
• Electric vehicles making a comeback
• The domino effect of inflation and uncertainty
• And why sometimes you just need a Metallica song to get through the drive

🚗 Short Friday commute
 ⛽ Pain at the gas pump
 🤖 AI anxiety & layoffs
 🎸 Metallica, local music & weekend plans

Plus: Paul talks about checking out some local South Florida music this weekend and why cover bands still matter.

A little economics. A little music. A little existential dread.
 Just another ride to work with Paul.
