Mike and Rudy kick things off with the controversy surrounding Trinity University's new logo after backlash from alumni and the community forces the school to pause its rollout. The conversation expands into San Antonio's resistance to change, branding in the social media era, and why internet outrage often drives decisions more than reality.
From there, the guys bounce through a packed show covering AI replacing jobs in local television, San Antonio's driving reputation, the death of local media, and why podcasts continue to outperform traditional outlets. They also remember The Sopranos, debate COVID-era hindsight after Aaron Rodgers' latest comments, and wrap things up with one of Mike's strongest rants yet directed at the Steelers quarterback.
