John Sculley and the host discuss the difficulty of finding objective product reviews on search engines like Google due to exploitative ad sites. Sculley highlights Uber as a successful example of an infrastructure company rather than a pure technology company. He notes that Uber expanded the transportation market in San Francisco by providing supply where the traditional taxi industry failed to meet demand.

Uber has partnered with "Hiring Our Heroes" to recruit 50,000 military veterans, led by an advisory board chaired by former Defense Secretary Robert Gates. The hosts express skepticism about the involvement of high-level military brass in a ride-sharing company. While they agree the taxi industry needs disruption, they find the "military-industrial" connection to Uber suspicious.
