Elon Musk Is Going After AI's Next Big Bottleneck
Watch on YouTubeSummary
The hosts discuss a modest market pullback amid rising crude oil prices, sharp declines in California utilities, and opportunities tied to growing power demand. They highlight a reported Elon Musk initiative to manufacture gas-turbine components to ease data-center power bottlenecks, alongside a rebound in small modular reactor stocks.
- WTI crude rose roughly 3% to about $86, benefiting energy producers while raising inflation concerns.
- Major equity indexes remained positive for the month, and the VIX near 15 suggested limited market anxiety.
- The hosts discussed Kalshi’s proposed international expansion through Alpaca and growing brokerage interest in prediction markets.
- PG&E and Edison International reportedly fell about 20% amid California wildfire-liability concerns and analyst downgrades.
- The hosts said Musk plans to manufacture high-temperature turbine blades and vanes, potentially accelerating natural-gas turbine availability by 18 months.
- Small modular reactor stocks rebounded after several weak sessions; the hosts favored watching for confirmation rather than buying immediately.
- The episode also promoted Rebel Con 2026 and concluded with professional and college sports commentary.

Welcome back to the Rebels Edge. Pete and I are going to break down for you exactly what's going on with crude oil moving up like this. Which stocks do you think are moving up? Well, one guess.
Energy stocks, but not the ones that need energy. The ones that take it out of the ground and make it available.
Those are the ones. And we'll break that down for you on today's Rebels Edge.
>> [music] [music] >> Well, well, well, Pete, we're down about half a percent today. Seems like when we're down, we're usually down about
half a percent and then a day or two later, we're up 1%. [laughter] And that's the way August has gone. It's just kind of like down half a percent, up one, so you gain half a percent and then down half a percent, up one, now you're up 1% for the month. So on and so forth, rinse and repeat. That's what it's been, Pete.
>> Yeah, no doubt about it, John. I mean, it's been impressive. And what's been the most impressive is now that we're basically through earning season and we could say that. Um, it's been incredible. I mean, the numbers that have gone up absolutely have been stunning and impressive, and that's why we are where we are right now, despite the fact that that we're looking at at
crude oil kind of hanging around up there in the 80s, and we'll we'll get into that in just a second.
>> Yeah. Well, let's dive right into macro, Pete, because I think you're right. Um there are minor uh worries out there right now because crude oil made a 3% move to the upside here and Brent made a
3.9% move over in uh England. Um but it's just not spooking the markets really. Like I say, you're down half a percent. Even if we go down 1%, is that really spooking us when we're at all-time highs and when we're going to
post another positive month for the year? S&P's up what, 12%, Pete? Are people really going to get scared out of the market here?
>> I don't think so. Um I think it would take a much bigger move out out of crude and probably more more storyline that is a little bit more um edgy or something.
But yeah, when you look at WTI, John, up 3% trading right around 86 bucks or thereabouts. You know, the August range has been 75 to 89. So yeah, we're up here on the upper range of that at 86, we'll call it. But I'll tell you, John, like you just said, is there a lot of concern about it right now? Doesn't seem
that way. I mean, we all understand that is where inflation is. So we'd love to see it come down and stay down, but um it doesn't always work that way. And there's some, you know, movement here and there, but I think eventually we're going to see this probably test back down towards the lower end of the
August, which is 75.
>> Well, let's uh take a look, Pete, at uh your volatility metrics, the VIX and the VIX, and uh tell everybody kind of what the uh implied volatilities are in those indices.
>> Yeah, I think they're indicating things pretty well, John. I mean when we look at it now immediately this this morning on the news on the on the spike that we had we were up about 6%. We were up a little bit you know north of uh 15s and up towards the 15 and a half range and then we started to see a little bit of
light going back down again. So here we are basically trading we'll call it 15.
Yes, we had a pretty nice uh drop getting out down towards the 14s going into the weekend, but you know, given the what we've got going on, John, and so forth and and seeing what WTI is doing, I would have been probably wouldn't have been, I should say, uh I wouldn't have been surprised if we might
even have got closer to 16. But you know what? Uh the market's not doing that.
You could see that by the most recent where it's just starting to pull back even more. Um, if this day continues the way it is and we see things the way we're seeing them and probably listening to the president and others, um, I wouldn't be surprised at all if we're back in the 14s despite the fact that we've got crude oil where it is because
like you said, a half a percent. I don't think we were all that worried about these half percent moves.
>> Yeah, we don't appear to be, Pete. I mean, right now the SPY is up 3% for the month. That's the S&P 500. Um the Dow is up 2% for the month and the QQQ is up four% for the month. That's of course the NASDAQ and that's kind of the way it's
been, Pete. Like we've both said, uh you know, we go down a little, we come back a little and then some, then we go down a little again, and we go up a little and then some. And those are the kind of numbers you get. And uh that kind of boring market is what the VIX loves as
it's trading down like this.
>> Uh but as you know, we've se we've seen uh 50 Cent and others coming in just because it's gotten so cheap. We'll see if they get a pop before September expiration where most of those uh options reside.
All right, let's take a look for a sec, Pete, at what's going on with uh the prediction markets because Kelshi says they want to expand their international business through a partnership with a broker that many of you probably have
not heard of. They're called Alpaca, but Alpaca has 14 million accounts globally.
So, they want to team up with Kelshi.
Um, and Kelshi wants to team up with them. And uh we're going to see more and more of this, Pete. And pretty soon you guys, you're going to hear about us doing something similar. [laughter] >> Yeah, it's interesting to see how this is all playing out, John. And that, you know, it makes sense that we're going to see some of these coming together. Uh
because quite frankly, it it it builds something that much stronger. And I think that's what that's what we're seeing in front of us as as we speak right now, especially in these prediction type markets. So, it's going to be interesting. John. Um, I'm still just amazed at the fact that we can literally these days I mean, you can bet on almost anything that ever exists. I
[laughter] mean, it's just it's it's it's it's kind of fun. It's kind of creepy. It's kind of all that kind of a thing, but but it's out there for us.
And and I as as you've been noting, it's getting a lot more use than probably I would say a lot of people started off thinking they would. You know, they Oh, people aren't going to be messing around with that. Oh, yes, they are. Yes, they are.
Oh, yes they are. And they like it. And the brokerages like it because Robin Hood reported they made more money from uh trades on Poly Market than they did on uh uh let's see what was it Pete?
Stocks and futures combined.
>> More money from Poly Market. Now, not options because options are uh really the tail that wags the dog and they trade a lot more than stock trades. But anyway, we can get into that another day, folks. What's behind me, of course, is Circa Casino, the hotel and casino
started up by those brothers we've told you about, the uh Stevens brothers. And it's a fabulous facility. We're going to be out there the 19th of October for Monday Night Football in the Outdoor Sports Book in the pool. Uh and then the very next day we kick off two days of a
conference uh with a whole bunch of great speakers. Um I think you guys are really going to get a lot out of it. So, if you're somebody who um wanted to know more about trading, not just options, but trading stock, trading pre-market,
uh trading in the uh preIPO, uh trading and investing in crowdfunds and so forth, well, by all means, you should be coming on out to Rebel Con 2026. And if you scan that QR code, that one right there, if you scan that QR code, you'll see about the agenda, all
the different speakers, the special deals we have on the hotel, which is under $110 per night for that special price. Yeah, it's going to be pretty cool.
>> And uh uh there are VIP opportunities for those of you who would like to um to have dinner with some luminaries out there in Las Vegas and so forth. So check it out, scan the QR code, and uh Pete and I look forward to seeing you with Jared as well. Yeah. So for all of you guys that are wondering what the
hell does Jared look like? Which one of those guys is Jared? Anyway, [laughter] you can meet Jared out there, the guy that does all the magic for the show.
>> All right, Pete. Uh let's talk about PCG and EIX because uh basically um we're talking about uh Pacific Gas and Electric, but I know it's PCG and uh EIX is Edison International. These guys are
just getting clocked today. Yeah.
because California lawmakers basically uh have passed something that says, you know what, the insurance companies are going to bail on Cal insuring California because of these crazy wildfires and all the rest. So, we're going to say we're not going to shelter the uh uh energy
companies that provide electricity, if you will, and natural gas to uh Californians. We're not going to shelter them. We're gonna say they have responsibility, which all of a sudden they said, "Oh, [laughter] no." Because that really is a big ticket that
sometimes they're going to have to write because California is a tinder box, Pete.
>> Oh, yeah. And I was just out there and I know all too well, John, there were still some fires that were going. They had to close down certain areas. is a big SUR area that reopened. But um yeah, I mean this is something that it's not totally foreign for California to have these fires. They they do it fairly frequently, but sometimes they can be much bigger than other times. And that's
that's where things get really pretty dicey. And um yeah, the fact that you're actually having to shut down some of these roads and so forth is is kind of a big deal. By the way, we're seeing that there are some folks out there that are not very happy about this. Wells Fargo being one of them. [ __ ] is another one where they're doing some downgrading,
John, on companies like Edison or in this case uh PCG. So, you know, understandably so. I mean, this is uh this is going to be a bit of a battle because this is something that's going to be uh dollar-wise huge and that's why both these companies are down basically
just call it 20% a piece. And I don't know that that's that's the end point.
As a matter of fact, this is the 52- week lows, but they might be establishing 52- week lower lows. Um, just because this is a big deal and Governor Nuomo and and the and the folks are proposing this whole thing. I don't know. I don't know if they they realize what they're doing. So, it's going to be interesting to see how this all plays
out.
Yeah, it's uh it's definitely uh putting the onus back on those power companies.
Like a power line comes down, sparks, starts a fire, all of a sudden they're on the hook for billions and billions of dollars and the insurance companies are like, "Oh, yeah. [laughter] All right, Pete, let's talk about SpaceX because Elon Musk, as we all know, is
one smart cookie >> and he sees things around the corner before we get to the corner. How he does that, >> I don't know. But in this case, he figured out, Pete, that the uh the bottleneck for data centers really is a
shortage of these gas turbine components and in particular the blades and the veins. um that basically when you get one of these, you know, uh a natural gas powered uh turbine, those turn just like and look pretty much just like the same thing that you see when you're watching
an airplane start up and you're watching those turbines move. Well, turns out that's a very specific uh skill to uh manufacture uh those components for those turbines. And so Musk says rather than wait around for somebody to do it, he's gonna build
them. [laughter] So he's gonna build these high temperature blades and veins for natural gas turbines. And I'm guessing Pete at some point this might be another one of his hundred billion dollar companies. Uh because he is moving in areas that other
people haven't even dreamt about yet.
>> It is amazing, John. I mean, you know, we all know how smart the guy is. You could hate him if you want to. I don't.
I think he's unbelievable and I think he's, you know, he's doing a lot of great things, but you know, you got to say this, the guy the guy thinks ahead of it seems like everybody else. And so power generation being what it is, um he he decided he took a long look at it.
Obviously, he's been watching it for a while and also he says, "You know what?
We're not going to have to do this. We don't have to buy this. We can actually make it ourselves." and uh you know he he never ends with with anything that's not going to be just unbelievable state-of-the-art and all the rest of it and I you know it's it's amazing he's got all these various companies like you were talking about I mean it's
absolutely incredible by the way the SpaceX stock is still sort of in this one call it 140 um it's gotten itself into a bit of a range that's a nice little move that it's making right now as we see it over the last couple of trading sessions but you know It's bounced back really really well, John. I I kind of was kicking myself because I
thought about buying a little bit of the stock down there when it was about a 105 110. I didn't do it. Not even remembering why I didn't do it, but I didn't. But I I tell you what, I I like what this is doing right now and the way the the stock is moving. And I'll tell you what, if anybody can get this done, it's Elon Musk. I mean, he's going to go
out there. He's going to get these turbine, these big blades that, and like you said, they're very uh temperature, high temperature blades. It's going to be something that I'm sure will be tweaked by him in many ways, and it's going to be better than anything that's been built so far in that field.
Probably going to be more efficient.
He's going to be able to run it off of what? Something else or whatever. I mean, it's going to be incredible. And that's that's who Elon Musk is. And and uh I wouldn't doubt him on any of these kinds of things. So he can get there a lot quicker as well, John, than ordering these things up and having to wait for them. Now you build them. Um, it's going
to probably happen a lot sooner than than it would have.
>> That's right. He says, Pete, that um he can accelerate the na natural gas turbines uh by 18 months, by a year and a half by him just building his own facility to build those. And by the way, we did have some unusual activity in
here, Pete. We had some folks that were speculating on SpaceX when it was right back down around the uh IPO price. Now, not the first traded price that was 150, but the IPO was 135 as you see on the screen there, folks. At 13568, somebody
came in and bought 600,000 share equivalent because every option's for 100 shares. They bought 6,000 of those October 180 calls. Well, the stock moved up uh to 14293 and uh just moments ago
it was 14350, Pete. So, this one's already working out pretty well uh for whoever made that move. And I suspect that this gas turbine move is partly why they're getting a little more love in there today.
>> Absolutely. All right, let's talk slumber and another bit of unusual activity. Pete SLB. So slumberge is like the company that supplies oil field stuff.
>> Um, so they're not the guys that do the actual drilling. They're the guys that supply everything for the drilling. And they've made quite a fortune for themselves and their shareholders by doing that for decades. Well, now they're also getting more involved in
the uh data center side of things, Pete.
>> So, when you look at unusual activity, and the stock was up six or seven% earlier today, um they announced a $4 billion purchase of a cooling system maker. Gee, I wonder why they need a cooling system maker. [laughter] Probably for AI.
Probably for AI.
>> It makes sense. [laughter] >> Yeah, it does. And that unusual activity from just what that was I think uh Wednesday, Tuesday or Wednesday last week, Pete 14,000 represents 1.4 million shares.
>> Uh and the stock was 57. Well, now it's 59. So, I'm not going to dance on it and say, "Oh, you know, this is an absolute home run." But it's working out pretty well so far. Pete, >> it's going in the right direction, John.
There's no doubt about it. And I think this is a great move on their part. Now, they were able to do it with both cash and debt. So, they were able to put that up for 3.4 billion in in cash and then the 700 million in debt to go up there.
But, you know, and this comes at a time where we're finding a little bit about what's going on with Venez Venezuela and the president and some of the deals there and all of that. Um, I got to tell you, we had a lot of activity in a lot of different energy names. this one being one of the big ones, but we also had names like Chevron who have had a
pretty big jump today as well based upon some of the things going on over the weekend. So, um I think this is a very uh a very interesting and great move I think for Slumber. I think that they've they've done something that does tell us exactly what you were saying, John. Uh they're going for the data centers and
that's why they're going for the cooling and that's what they got. So, this is uh this is going to be a straightforward path for them.
Let's wind it up, Pete, with XE because XE was moving up strong today.
Now, last week a lot of these SMRs, small modular reactors. In other words, um when you think of it, folks, when people hear small modular reactors, sometimes they think, well, what did they do? Just shrink a nuclear uh power plant down? In a way they did, but in
the same way that a submarine or a ship has done that because when you look at those they don't look anything of course like you know the uh nuclear reactors that you see at 3M Island or any such place Indian Creek. Um what you're seeing is a uh uh something that's
basically about the size of that 53 foot um trailer on the back of a semi. It's about that size and yet they can run power for decades, clean energy for decades with each one of these. So a small mod modular reactor is something
that you know they have zoomed to the upside then they got a little overbought and they came back down. Well a low um new scale power and X energy are three of the biggies. You've got nanuclear NNE in there as well, but they were all down last week on Wednesday, Thursday, and
Friday. Today, they're making a comeback. And this one XE is making the biggest comeback today, Pete. So, I thought we'd sort of highlight that because look, came all the way down from 1950 just a couple days ago, all the way down to almost $17 and now it's back to $18 so far today.
>> Yeah. Yeah. It's an incredible move, John. They've done they've done some really good things. I mean, we look at XE and it's up. It was up, I should say, about 9%. It that's kind of come back a little bit, but it's still up, I think, a little over five, maybe five and a half% last I looked, but you know, you look at those stocks, they've been beaten up pretty good. They're down
there on the lower end. And so, is there opportunity there? Maybe if you believe in this whole thing. Absolutely. And and you know that's one of those things where you know when I see that and I think that they've maybe kind of gotten to the point where they're on their lows and then I start searching out for all right let's really take a look and see if we have any UOA unusual option
activity in this in in some of these names because that would be great to see. I mean you look at um XE and you see a stock that was 13 bucks all the way to 37 bucks John and it's now trading closer to 18. So, you know, there there are some opportunities out there and I think that uh I think it's going to be very very interesting to see
how these guys function because they have been beat up. I think that at some point in time they're going to have to start them moving back up to the upside.
That that's where it gets a little dicey though because it's when and we're asking hey when. So, we'll see eventually. But these are names that that absolutely did just went absolutely straight up for quite some time and then it started to fall back again. So interesting to watch. I think this whole
little sector that we're talking about here, you know, Olo and those um I think it's I think it's something you want to keep your eye on for sure. Doesn't mean you have to do anything today because I don't think that that's the case, but I'd sure like to see something tell us that this is the this is the time that it's going to start ripping to the upside again because it ripped to the
upside last time.
>> Yeah, it was double the price that it is right now just uh six months ago or less. Maybe it was four months ago. So, watch this one because when they move, SMRs move pretty fast.
>> Yeah.
>> All right, Pete, let's do a little sports. We've got a V sports video, per usual. Um, we had a host of them to pick from, but we ended up uh putting up my friend Mike North. Mike was a broadcaster in Chicago, folks. Uh, and, uh, a good friend. Pete and I had both
been on his show many times. Uh, WSCR.
Um he was one of the biggest DJs in town for a while. Um but take a look at what PCA did here because uh that player for the Cubs is right nipping at Otan's heels, Pete. And this is one of the reasons. Watch how he swings this bat.
>> Successfulness.
[laughter] >> That's a blast. That is a blast.
>> [cheering] >> It's cool to see. I I don't know him nearly as well as you do, John, or know of him nearly as well as you do, but it is amazing, you know, to see some of these guys that that can hit the ball the way they do. I mean, it's just absolutely staggering. I mean, Otani leading the charge, but this guy's right on his heels, like you were saying. I
mean, that that thing was out almost immediately. [laughter] >> Yeah. To quote uh Cosner, the last time I saw um something move that fast, it had a flight attendant on it. [laughter] >> You got a lot.
>> Wow. Yeah. All right. Well, what do you got for sports beyond the videos, John?
This was going to happen. We all kind of knew it was going to happen and it did finally happen. But, um I think you got to look at the Rams right now and say, "Well, where's their weakness?" because their offense was absolutely in amazing last year. I mean, you know, Matthew Stafford had as good a year as he's ever
had.
>> Puka is still there. Devonte Adams is still there. They've got the players that you want. They have a very big but very mobile offensive line. They've got running backs that hide behind those monsters that are the five guys in front. Because, John, every one of their running backs is basically the same guy.
5 foot8, about 205 pounds. You can't find them when you're looking for them because the offensive line is smothering you. And you know what? So that is what helps Stafford out though because they can run the football and they do run the football and they do it really well because those guys can't see those running backs. So you look at all of
that, but let's go over to the defensive line because they made a trade not long ago, John, where they got Miles Garrett, >> and yes, he's older, but you know what?
If you see some of the stuff that I've seen on Twitter of watching him work out and some of those box box jumps and some of the crazy things that this guy does.
Uh, this guy's not however old he is, John. He's five or six years younger than that because he works so dang hard in the off season and during the season to be the player that he is and be in the shape that he is. He's just absolutely amazing. Well, there's another guy who's pretty much exactly
like him, and that's Aaron Donald, who had retired and now decided he wanted to come back, and we've been teasing, you know, he's been teasing everybody about, you know, how close he is. Is he going to get there or not? Is he really going to do it? Well, he decided he's going to do it. And that just all of a sudden turns to me and I'm like, "All right,
well, Seattle got a lot of their good players got yanked. They're no longer there after having that great run last year, going to the Super Bowl, winning the Super Bowl, the whole thing. And they've missed some they got guys the GMs, they've got coaches that they've lost and all of that. I'll tell you what, the Rams are pretty damn good,
John. And I look at it right now and I if I were to say in the NFC going to the Super Bowl, I think it would look like it would be the Rams. And in the Super Bowl, it looks to me like it could be the Rams. They're that good on both sides of the ball. And that this signing just changed everything, I think, because it's one thing to have a great
great player like Miles, right? I mean, you know, he's he's unbelievable. He's he's got everything. But all of a sudden, you get Donald as well. The guy's like a 500 pound bench guy. I mean, he's he's an absolute freak in the weight room, and he's just as good as he is there on the field. He's not just
some some guy who's in the gym, you know, whatever. But what do you think about this? Do you think the same as I do? They're they're the second best team last year when you look at the point differential and it was 172 points was that number. So pretty damn good offense with a really good defense. And that
defense got a lot better with those two players, I think.
>> Let me throw this one at you, Pete. And Mike North, if you're listening, I'm sure you'll appreciate this stat as well. Um, so Sam, uh, let's see, not Sam, I'm sorry, Pete. Uh, uh, Aaron Donald, sorry, Aaron Donald, uh, was basically doubleteamed, or at least
they'd put a running back to get a chip on him, as they call it, Pete, or a tight end >> to get anything to get him slowed down just a little bit. 60% of the time in his career. 60%.
and he didn't have a guy like Miles Garrett on the other side. No, I'm sure the other defensive end was good, but um they were able to double team him because the other players weren't as outstanding as Aaron Donald.
>> Well, now you got Miles Garrett on the other side and he's doubleteamed about 30% of the time. There aren't enough players on the field, Pete, to block these two guys. No. So, um, you're gonna see, you know, like what I would actually love to see would be, uh, I'd
love to see how the Bears coach would, uh, offense against that defense. Yeah.
because you're gonna have to run screens and uh traps and all kinds of things and make it look for all the world like it's a pass play because once those guys get their heads down and start coming I mean it is Katie bar the door. Yeah.
>> So I think uh this is going to be really exciting and I agree with you and and with the betters out there like the guys at Circa um I'm betting that uh this is a Super Bowl team this year.
>> Yeah. even though it means my Bears wouldn't make it because I don't know that we stack up against these guys.
>> Bears look great. They're coached well.
They've got the players. They they went out and got an offensive line to protect a very good quarterback and all of a sudden he looked like a very good quarterback. So, yeah, I I think the Bears are still still somewhere there, but just LA is just loaded. [laughter] They really are. Well coached and loaded is not a bad combination. All right,
John. So we kicked off at week zero for college football. So we've already got plenty of them out there. And North Carolina kind of stunned TCU and Bellich and and that whole group, you know, flying all the way over to Dublin to play the game. And so that was that was pretty cool. The one thing that stood
stood out for me last week was not one not one of the games had anybody who's ranked against another somebody who's ranked. And we'll get one this week.
will get one this week and it's SMU. Oh, no, it's not SMU. Um, it's Louisville and Old Miss. They're they're the that is the only game we'll see over the weekend where you've got two ranked uh teams that are going against each other.
So, and that's up in Nashville. So, that could be pretty cool. I think it I think it will be. I picked out one game that I thought was kind of interesting, John, because Florida State's always been Florida State, right? They're always one of the one of the best teams in the country. They've always had good coaching and everything else. This coach
has not won the way Florida State wants to and needs to win. And they they're going to be hosting SMU this weekend.
Actually, it might even be Monday, but over this past uh this coming weekend coming in front of us and SMU is favored. I'll tell you what, at some point during the season, if this guy starts to slump at all, John, I think that there's going to be a real problem for Florida State and this there's going to be a change in the guard for Florida
State. What about you? Because it's just one of those iconic teams, right? I mean, there's so many great players who have come out of there, so many great, you know, Dion Sanders and all these guys that are absolutely amazing players and everything else. It's not the same Florida State, and I I can't tell you what it is that's happened. Florida's
still there. Miami is still there, but Florida State has struggled.
>> Yeah, they have struggled, Pete. And uh that looks like a setup for yet another um you know, bunch of alumni to get called on to uh basically pay this guy to leave [laughter] um if if he doesn't win.
>> Yeah.
>> Because that's you know, you're there to put people butts in the seats and you're there to win. And uh if you're at Alabama um you've got to win 10.
>> Yeah.
>> Or you're gone. Um if you're at Ohio State, you got to win 11 or 12 or you're gone. I mean, there are teams that don't just care about the 105,000 people in the seats. They've got to win. And Florida State is in that category.
You've got to win. I think he's uh going to wear out his welcome quickly if he loses to SMU. Now that that TCU game, Pete, Texas Christian, you know, I'll be break my arm patting ourselves on the back and I'm patting you on the back
remotely, Pete, because we called it. We said that uh TCU was not as good and that instead of playing at uh down in Gosh, is that in Houston, Pete? Texas Christian.
>> Yeah, it's outside of Dallas, I think, or something like that. Yeah, I can't remember. they uh would have a much better shot than playing on the road because on the road they're both on the road when you're playing in Dub Dublin, Ireland, folks.
>> That stadium holds a maximum about half of what you know the big stadiums in the US hold. And that's not a rip on them, but it's just it holds 49,000 for American football. Okay, I think they were twothirds full. So, you didn't have to worry about the crowd noise or
anything else. and TCU went up 10 zip and then it was over. It was 15-10 at the end. So, yeah, I think uh we did a pretty good job saying on the road he's got a real shot at this one. And uh indeed, they pulled it out and u maybe
he's able to beat some decent teams this year, Pete, instead of that four team thing that he did last year because that was pretty poor for his debut season as a college coach. Again, >> I got one last thing for you. Jack Strand made the cut. He's at Atlanta.
He's the quarterback from Division 2 school of Minnesota State, Morehead.
John, 22-year-old kid. How exciting is that? They actually decided to keep four quarterbacks, too, which is interesting.
But, you know, Jack Strand's a big big kid who could throw the ball around, and I think he he really impressed him with what he was able to do during the preseason.
>> Yeah. Well, great to see that kid get the shot and then great to see him take advantage of getting that shot beat. And when you've got Penna Pennix and Tua ahead of you, both of whom have, you know, a history of injuries, >> uh, you got to like his chances to play a lot this year.
>> Yeah.
>> Well, thanks for joining us today, folks. Pete and I will be back again tomorrow. I'd remind you one more time about circa um and uh the Vegas event uh that you can still get a $200 discount on and that only lasts for 10 more days,
folks. It's a $695 ticket. You can get that ticket for just $4.95 if you scan the QR code now and decide, "Yeah, I'm going to book it now." You book it September 11th, 12th, 13th, you're paying $200 more. So, by all means, it's going to be a great event.
We just got a great tax guy as well, Pete, that's going to tell people how they can structure themselves to uh uh basically get the best out of the IRS instead of the IRS getting the best out of you. Yeah.
>> Um and if you're an active trader or investor, >> I think that's an important thing to know.
>> Yeah.
>> So, uh by all means, check it out, folks. Scan the QR code and Pete and I will be back. What time are we back tomorrow, Pete?
>> We'll be here at uh one o'clock Eastern time, John. Ready to run. Ready to rock and roll. It's gonna be fun. And I'm I'm looking forward to this week. This week is cool because we're now we're into September coming tomorrow. September.

Yeah.
