Kyle and Kyle break down Chamath Palihapitiya's X article "The Collapse Of Terminal Value - What Happens If AI Makes Every Moat Temporary?" from a business of youth sports angle.

They then react to a mainstream outlet covering the space like never before, a kid who was benched for his parents not volunteering, England's silence on the sidelines, and Rush Soccer's unique brand integration.
