In this wide-ranging episode of The Money Line, the crew kicks off 2026 with a deep dive into the rise of artificial intelligence, automation, and how it's shaking up everything—from Taco Bell drive-thrus to the legal field. From funny stories to real fears, David, Vince, Ray, and Luan debate where this tech is heading… and whether robots will be writing demand letters in the near future.

Then, they’re joined by Janelle Fitzgerald, former D1 volleyball athlete and Director of Athlete Development at The Link, for a powerhouse conversation on NIL (Name, Image & Likeness). Janelle breaks down the truth about how student-athletes get paid, what’s changing in college sports, and why businesses are pivoting to smarter, more compliant ways to support athletes without just “cutting a check.”

Of course, it wouldn’t be The Money Line without NFL and NCAA football picks—with plenty of heated banter, underdog predictions, and strong opinions on who’s making a run in the playoffs.

Whether you’re navigating NIL deals, watching the rise of AI, or betting on the Texans this weekend, this episode brings the insight, the laughs, and the real talk.

We’re closing out the year with an unfiltered episode full of heart, heat, and real talk.

This week on The Money Line, things get real. The team opens up about the unseen side of client communication, including shocking moments where racial assumptions came through the phone before a face was ever seen. From Ray’s wild intake calls to Vince getting hit with ignorance on both ends of the spectrum, this episode is a raw look at what it means to serve the public while dealing with prejudice behind the scenes.

Then the conversation turns up — with stories of roulette table chaos, Vegas bans, and a grassroots breakdown of what authentic marketing actually looks like in 2025. No scripts, no filters — just the facts and a lot of laughs.

And of course, it wouldn’t be The Money Line without football bets

In this special Halloween episode of The Money Line, Juan Guerra criminal defense and personal injury attorney joins the crew for one of the most wide-ranging, hilarious, and brutally honest conversations yet.

Juan opens up about his journey from criminal defense to personal injury, why he left courtroom battles for business growth, and how honesty and integrity are the only real protection—even when you're representing cartel-level clients. From handling federal drug conspiracies to building a firm on client loyalty, and giving a masterclass in what it means to earn trust in the legal world.

Then the crew pivots to pure chaos:
🏈 College football picks
🏈 NFL debates
🏀 Rockets optimism

🔒 Why federal cases feel like facing the United States of America

In this special NBA season kickoff edition of The Money Line Podcast, the crew talks hoops, hustle, and hot takes.

With the Houston Rockets' home opener against the Pistons and an impressive double-overtime battle against the defending champs, the squad dives into how this new-look Rockets team stacks up in the West. From Fred VanVleet’s absence to the performance of the bigs, and worries about rookie Reed Sheppard’s nerves, nothing’s off limits.

But it wouldn’t be The Money Line without a little law—David hints at tying in some legal game theory with sports, teasing how strategy, contracts, and discipline apply both on the court and in the courtroom.

In Episode 6 of The Money Line, we’re joined by Attorney and straight-shooter Jessica Rodriguez—and let’s just say, this one doesn’t hold back.

This week, The Money Line welcomes Chinedu — comedian, TV host, content creator, and full-time professional Houstonian. For the first time ever, the crew sits down with a guest they’ve never met before, and it’s nothing but good energy from start to finish.

Chinedu breaks down his journey from local stand-up stages to touring across Texas, and how he’s turned laughter into a business. From live shows and merch to hosting gigs and viral content with that signature H-Town flavor — he shares the real side of making a living as a creative in 2025.

Plus, the crew talks NFL picks, bad beats, betting with your heart (hello Texans), and the art of staying funny when the money line’s on the line.

🎤 Comedy. Content. Cash flow.

In this episode of The Money Line, David & team sits down with Houston personal injury attorney Ryan DeHoyos for a raw and real conversation about the realities of the legal game — especially in plaintiff work where nothing is guaranteed.

Ryan pulls back the curtain on what it’s like to front tens of thousands in case expenses with no guarantee of return. He breaks down the moral dilemmas attorneys face when deciding whether to fight a tough case simply because they believe in the client. From liability issues to coverage gaps and years-long delays, they share the behind-the-scenes financial risks lawyers take to fight for justice.

And of course, it wouldn’t be The Money Line without some football picks — the team debates locks of the week, the heartbreak of Texans fandom, and what makes a smart emotional bet.

💼 Law. Loyalty. Losses. Lessons.

This week on The Money Line, David & team sits down with special guest Mo, a respected attorney and sharp legal mind, to talk more than just football. While the squad does dive into NFL Week 3 predictions — including a heated debate over locking in the Texans — the conversation also opens up about Mo’s journey in the legal world, and the challenges of being a lawyer in high-stakes environments.
