Google’s Quantum Breakthrough & The World Cup Goes to Saudi Arabia

Scott and Ed open the show by discussing why a federal judge blocked Kroger’s acquisition of Albertsons, Warner Bros. Discovery’s decision to restructure its business, and Eli Lilly's plans to test its GLP-1 drug as a treatment for addiction. Then Ed breaks down Google’s innovation in quantum computing, outlining its potential business use cases. Scott explains why the market is responding positively—even as the broader implications remain unclear. Finally, they discuss Saudi Arabia’s successful bid to host the 2034 World Cup and debate whether it’s a smart long-term investment for the country.
