Hello, and welcome back to another episode of Sharp Tech. I'm Andrew Sharp, and on the other line, Ben Thompson. Ben, we're about eight hours out from game four of Brewers Cubs. How you doing? How you feeling right now? A little anxious. I mean, the K. The Brewers
probably should have put it away last night. Some real missed opportunities, particularly in the eighth inning. Caleb Durbin, you could have dived and scored. Fortunately, the Cubs still suck. So as the as the saying goes. So, hopefully, we'll pull it out. But, yes, it would have been nice to have this wrap dusted done with. It's not great that our alleged number two pitcher who I wanted to start game two and make us I was wrong to want that, who has knocked out the first inning. So, yeah, we got fastball Freddie, man. Freddie Peralta is gonna carry us through. Confident.
I like that. Looked great. They looked great in the first two games. I was like, wow. Maybe the Brewers could actually do this. Again, you've been, like, in the trenches.
Crappy underdog, smallest payroll, smallest market in the major leagues, doing the best we can.
For three or four months, you've been watching the brewers every single day. So I hope for your sake, they can at least make it to the NLCS. And then it really is Schlitz versus Glitz with the Dodgers on the other end. I don't have any faith in the Phillies' ability to win that series. So Dodgers brewers would be pretty fantastic. But in any event, we have a lot to get to today, and it's sort of been OpenAI week at Strathecari. Would you agree with that?
I just was just looking at Major League payrolls. The LA Dodgers are number one, with a total payroll of $350,000,000. The Cubs, number five, $212,000,000. So the we're, you know, we're we're already The
mom pop brewers.
The mom and pop brewers. The old college shop. Hundred hundred and twenty two million dollars, half that of the Cubs. So, yeah, it's you know, we are the underdog. We're lucky to be where we are. Everything is a gift.
Okay. Well, brewers against the world. I'm right there with you arm in arm. Let's go do it. Let's shock the world. But as I said, it's been OpenAI week at Strathekari, and we're gonna begin with a note from Roshan. He says, Ben and Andrew, I think it's time to officially expand the mag seven to a mag eight and include OpenAI. They directly compete against Google, Meta, and in the future could compete with Netflix in content, Apple in devices, Microsoft in OS and API, Amazon shopping in API, NVIDIA, and Tesla robotics. It's also time to add Sam Altman to the pantheon of great business leaders a
