| 0:00.0 | Yeties, Nick and Jack here with you from the T-Boy Studio. A couple of weeks ago, Nick and I recorded a segment on CNN. Yeah, cable news network. We went old school for this one. Lights, camera, action. We did a hit for their Christmas Eve special, and we loved it so much. We asked if we could publish it right here on the pod. And then Jack and I were in front of our Christmas trees watching this |
| 0:21.1 | thing live on CNN, and hopefully you did too. We were on TV, and if you want to see it, you can check out our YouTube, or you can just listen right here. Because in this mini episode we're publishing for you, we got the chat with CNN about the business highlights of 2025 and what to expect in 26. We had a lot of fun on camera, so we wanted to share it with the besties and yeties right here. |
| 0:40.2 | All right, Jack, hair and what to expect in 26. We had a lot of fun on camera, so we wanted to share it with the besties and yeties right here. |
| 0:40.2 | All right, Jack, hair and makeup, ready to go. |
| 0:42.1 | Push and play. |
| 0:42.8 | T-boy hit CNN. |

| 0:59.2 | have in store? Jack Kravichie Kramer and Nick Martel are the hosts of the Best One Yet Business |
| 1:04.8 | Podcasts. And they join us now. So fellas, thanks so much for being with us. Let's talk trends for |
| 1:09.6 | next year. You all have said that you see some trends that could develop into the new year, including self-driving cars. Waymo is planning an expansion to more cities next year. How do you see that playing out, Jack? |
| 1:23.6 | Merry Christmas Eve, Boris and Brian. Great to be here. |
| 1:26.7 | 2025 was the year that self-driving finally arrived at its destination, right, Neck? |
| 1:31.8 | Okay, yeah. Here in San Francisco, you got Waymo five cities that's expanded to 20 more planned for next year. |
| 1:37.9 | You got Tesla Robotaxies catching up. I took one to work today to get to this studio. |
| 1:42.9 | You got Amazon Zooks already in Las Vegas |
| 1:45.2 | and San Francisco. Robotaxies are expanding next year at a pace that was not expected. But here's what |
