Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello and welcome to Kamp. Hello. Hello, Lucy. Hi. How are you doing? I'm good. How are you? Oh, I'm not great.
Starting point is 00:00:25 I didn't get much sleep. I was on a rabbit hole last night. Yeah? I am very, I watched this interview that Tim Harris, is that his name? Kamala Harris. You mean presidential candidate Kamala Harris and her vice presidential candidate, Tim Walts? Yes, I like to call them Benefer. They, uh, it's very exciting.
Starting point is 00:00:48 They did this interview on CNN with Dana Bush, their name. Oh, was that Dana Bush? It was Dana Bush. If you, they should correct your, the presidential candidate. to the corrector's love at one point, because she said Dana. Because apparently now we can just make up name pronunciations.
Starting point is 00:01:05 That's what this country's gotten to. But regardless, at one point, I'm very excited about these two. They're just, they're not saying much, but they're different with style. And in defending his war record,
Starting point is 00:01:20 or lack thereof, this Tim Waltz guy at one point alluded to, they'll just bring up anything, like my crazy looking son, or like, you know, the fact that he's just blubbering for no reason or like my dog i'm like what about his dog yeah i didn't know i hadn't known that there was a controversy about his dog i had not heard about a dog controversy so i started to look into it and it's um apparently been debunked
Starting point is 00:01:46 but who are these people debunking stuff i think sometimes the media is a little bit hot to debunk I think this debunk button is like a butunk. They're just... Everybody has their little fact check section. Yeah. Or as I like to call it, the rat check section. They really are. They are a bunch of like a little rats who scurry.
Starting point is 00:02:10 I mean, I get it when Jack Kennedy used to, you know, waltz around D.C., just impregnating movie stars and, you know, doing little games of his brother. little love triangles with Alan Dulles but I mean who's holding water for Tim Walts? Right.
Starting point is 00:02:29 Who are these people who are like scurrying to their keyboard and you go no this guy is the dog thing let's look into the dog thing because you'll see you're I'm not a witch hunt guy
Starting point is 00:02:39 I don't have a pitchfork but this is so what this is the story is Tim Walts did not claim two different dogs as his pet scout. That's those things basically the argument is that he made these Twitter posts.
Starting point is 00:02:53 A couple years ago, one of them was, I'm not sure when you other. They're both a couple years old probably. And one, do we have a, I guess, the shot, the side by side, whatever? Yeah, there are two, there are these two different shots where he refers to his dog Scout, but they're two completely different dogs. Right. It's one of them he's got this black dog and he says sending a special birthday shout out to my favorite pup, Scout.
Starting point is 00:03:18 Straightforward, right? This is his dog. I'm a weird guy. who lies about you know you know going to war but I got dogs you know I'm fine I get that post I don't care if you lie about going to war that's fine with me I'm all about it but you know like you got humanize yourself so he's got a stupid dog it's straightforward then you know it's another one is a different it's a it's a it's a it's a one's a black dog and one's like a beige dog I don't know a dog breeds I don't know if this is you know whatever but this one says
Starting point is 00:03:49 I couldn't think of a better way It's him He's kneeled down to the dog's level And it seems like there's someone in front of them Trying to take a selfie or something That's good point But he's the one posting it So it's not some of the guy's account
Starting point is 00:04:05 Yeah And he's been he's hunched over And he's talking to the dog Because just like I mean he pointed out in the interview I speak their language I guess he's talking about poor people Right like the poor
Starting point is 00:04:15 I can talk to the pores They think I'm a good guy and the same thing with the dogs. So he seems to be conversing with the dog. And the post says, couldn't think of a better way to spend a beautiful fall day than at the dog park.
Starting point is 00:04:30 Which is just the biggest lie, by the way. I've ever heard in my life. Oh, you know, there's no better way to enjoy the fall. I mean, think of all the things in the fall, right? Fall is wonderful. We've got leaves. You might eat a walnut.
Starting point is 00:04:44 Go for a scenic, you know, leaf peeping. Oh, yeah, absolutely. People love the, autumn. No, I never heard anyone say, you know what I love more than anything else? Just an autumn dog park. Just stepping in dog feces all day. Just just talking to poor people because that's my gimmick. That's his whole. That's his whole to me. Hey, I'm the poor whisper. Do you think he wishes he hadn't branded himself that way? That's the poor whisper. I mean, well, but what's he going to do? He looks like a bum. He looks like a goon. I mean, what you think he's going to, you know,
Starting point is 00:05:17 go on his good looks and George Clooney-esque charm. He's not George Clooney. He's not John McCain even. John McCain was like a fighter pilot. Yeah. This guy is like, you know, a lot. He can move his arm.
Starting point is 00:05:28 This guy spent a war on terror like, you know, defending, you know, a pizzeria uno or something. You know, it's like exactly the same thing. But, uh, but whatever. That's not, we're not here to denigrate the dog. If that's what he wants to do or pretend to be to like, for sure.
Starting point is 00:05:47 Couldn't think of a better way to spend the beautiful fall day at a dog park. I know Scout enjoyed it and a bunch of dog emojis. And then like, and the idea this is misleading. It's a big red band over this screenshot. Misleading. Yeah. Because that's not Scout. And that's what people call on to it.
Starting point is 00:06:04 Wait, that's another two different dogs. Yeah, like, who is the real Scout? And I'm saying, look, look, who cares? You know, unemployment and health rights and like maybe, maybe you're someone who wants prayer in school. That, even that, which I'm not trying to say, you know, there's a lot of things that matter to different people. And if you're some parent who wants, you know, your kids to say Hail Marys in math class, that's fine with me. I disagree, but I don't, that's your right as an American to fight for that. But isn't that more important than when whose dog is what?
Starting point is 00:06:37 Sure it is. I guarantee you that. So I'm not trying to make more. But why is why would you lie about it is the question? It's, uh, I mean, look, it was. would be a crazy lie. Yeah, it would be. I'm not saying it's a lot.
Starting point is 00:06:52 You're spreading misinformation, cump. Who you think you are? He's spreading misinformation. It's not what I'm doing. I'm saying it's a valid question. Yeah. It's valid to bring this up. It's like this guy could really-
Starting point is 00:07:02 But we'll acknowledge that all of this is pretty low stakes. Sure. Yeah. But this is a guy who is like Mr. Low Stakes, like he's just a guy. There's a kind of guy out there, right? Just people like, mostly younger people maybe, I feel. I feel like people who are older.
Starting point is 00:07:17 you simply have a little wine and they go or they'll equivocate about some liar or someone who might be a liar why would they lie about that now i haven't i even said that's not the fifth grade but people say this all the time why have i why would you lie about that because people like to lie people are liars when you're a liar you lie all about everything it i mean this is a whole thing this is just it's fun um you're trying to sleep with someone you're getting over on someone you're getting over, you just have no character, you're a sociopath who makes everything else up, so why not make this up? I mean, you stop at anyone of any life experience and really stop asking that question,
Starting point is 00:07:56 why would you lie? And we all know they all do. But, I mean, the idea is it's like, if this guy's lying about it. I mean, the dumber the lies you see, the worst a person is. Sure. You know, like, you know, when George Bush was running for president, he didn't deny doing cocaine, right? Right.
Starting point is 00:08:15 He didn't deny being a moron, you know, or like all accounts. And he could argue, he's not that dumb. Whatever. He's a genius. I'm just saying he didn't, like, try to pretend like he went to MIT, right? Sure. He owned the Dodgers or the Texas Rangers. But no one, you know, he didn't try to make that seem like the, you know, the Roman Senate.
Starting point is 00:08:36 And yet, he did a lot of bad stuff. But, you know, but he didn't have demons. Right. You can say, I'm getting away from the point. The point is, I have enough. thing, I don't, deceive unsubstantive, but in my experience, I'm very suspicious of the people who lie about dogs. Here's the thing, you know what?
Starting point is 00:08:54 I was wrong when I said it was low stakes. Yeah. Because if he's lying, the story is probably, the story behind that lie is probably horrific. Yeah. Like, he probably, he probably, he did something terrible to that dog and then replaced it with a new dog. Right. Well, yes.
Starting point is 00:09:10 And that's the only reason to lie about that is that. That would be a valid concern. And look, I'll never be the best. the best, the biggest podcaster, we won't be, because I can't just, you know, I have to keep it grounded here. The fact is he didn't, you know, I don't think he put this dog down and he got a new dog.
Starting point is 00:09:26 The reality is that he was at, there's a video on his Instagram apparently, I don't know, I don't follow Tim Walts on IG, so I didn't see this. But apparently it's a video on his Instagram from his day where he's at the dog park with all these other dogs. And it's just some random other person's dog. So this is the alternative narrative,
Starting point is 00:09:44 is that, a guy, he's some creep who goes around taking pictures with other people's dogs. Well, that's the thing, and someone else took the picture. Okay, yeah. You posted this. Right. But then, what is this? Like, you went, you went to this, there's no picture of you with your dog?
Starting point is 00:10:00 Why would you, you know, any person with a third grade reads, like any level of comprehension. I don't care if you went to the Sarbonne in Paris, France, or if you literally can't read, anyone looking at this post would go, oh, that's scout. That dog, he's saying,
Starting point is 00:10:15 That's my dog scout. Yeah. Who would talk about their dog scout, how much they enjoyed it? And they'd say, oh, you know, what a great day at the husband and wife party banquet I went to. I know my wife Lucy loved it and it's me just smooching with some other woman. That wouldn't, would that make sense? Would that be normal?
Starting point is 00:10:34 Only if her husband was taking a selfie of it. It's not a key party. Well, yeah, that's a good point. I'm just, it's an odd thing. It's a very strict, I don't know why here's so many. these like when we mentioned us the other week ago we brought us up originally when John Kerry got swift
Starting point is 00:10:52 boated it was like it was pretty obvious this is like this is well yeah you guys are really doing this guy dirty right and like you didn't have 15 other things you could point to this guy's just got he's got everything in the book and I'm just waiting for a shoe
Starting point is 00:11:07 to drop is what I'm saying it didn't matter I mean vice oh he's a vice president so if he's a liar I mean it doesn't just qualify and you can vote for whoever you want but can we just stop pretending like he's everyone thinks he's his nice grandpa right and i don't care like i'm what is jd vansom you know no i don't care but but i just can we just call call it what it is he's a he's a weird creep he's like you know oh he people call him out for being a defensive coordinator instead of a football coach i mean it's
Starting point is 00:11:38 high school who cares but yeah you probably you you make it seem like you were you know uh who that guy ted ted macaroni who's the famous Vince Lombardi He's not like he's Vince Lombardi out there In high school and his high school kids And he's just some guy who's like probably They probably call him you know He probably just gives them like freaking you know
Starting point is 00:11:57 Advice on their on their What's a low level football stuff? Advice on their tackles Their taxes maybe Maybe he gets them Yeah I mean he probably just does like school prayers or something I can't imagine this guy's I mean what is this guy doing He like he was not
Starting point is 00:12:14 When I was in Italy shooting at civilians When I was in Italy shooting at a lasagna I learned this When was this by the way Was he like coaching kids
Starting point is 00:12:28 While he was lying about You know Being like you know Pat Tillman or whatever Was that bad? Is Pat Tillman a bad reference? He's the guy who got who was Well that's a complicated
Starting point is 00:12:40 He was a football player I don't get mired in the muck Pat Tillman story's complicated I feel like Pat Tillman As much as he opposed to war He went through a fight Would still say Well at least I fought it though
Starting point is 00:12:52 His Tim Waltz guy is just sitting there You know drinking espresso Um yeah You know What would be nice right With these fact checks What would spare people Their pride a little bit
Starting point is 00:13:04 And it would be just A little bit more humility Yeah Like it turned out of the picture It was not of his dog But understandably It looked weird to be that is that opposing yeah yeah like hey exactly it's just defiant like gaslighting that's what gaslighting
Starting point is 00:13:23 is yeah I mean everyone's everyone acts like you know you disagree with something you're no it's when you go it's when you try to convince them when they're crazy right and as these people are we're that crazy because we think this guy's a ghoul and then you know oh his son's just his son they made it seem like his son's hand I think his son just has like ADD right or something which we all do. I have this country's on Adderall. We don't go, you know, it's fine. I don't care you love your dad.
Starting point is 00:13:48 I don't relate, but I don't care if you want to cry and, you know, and I'm not going to play the video with a kid because, you know, we're not bullies. Yeah. We're almost bullies, but we're not bullies. Republicans want voters to think, oh, yeah. False GOP claims could cause real damage. This is an AP article? Like, what is this idea that we shouldn't bring?
Starting point is 00:14:11 It's not, it's not a claim. It's a speculation at best I'm you Well what am I? Am I Mr. Registered Republican you know Guy? Everyone no one's accused me of that
Starting point is 00:14:21 But I mean to be fair This is craziness I might switch sides I might become a communist For the CCP Oh yeah I might yeah I bet you'd be good
Starting point is 00:14:33 I bet you'd ride just through the ranks Quickly yeah I mean I'm just saying This is getting this is getting ridiculous The intended Takeaway was at Wall Somehow lied about the identity He was scabbed by describing two different dogs.
Starting point is 00:14:45 Social media users gather, share, screen. It's like, they're acting like, they're acting like this is, uh, flat earth. Right. Anyway, also, I mean, what was going? He had some talk. There's some other controversy. Yeah. This is the thing, is the video, this is the first time I'm seeing this, but.
Starting point is 00:15:02 I don't know when his stage thing is supposed to be. It's like some surreptitious video. Yeah, it's extremely awkward exchange, but. Yeah, let's watch this. This is, Governor Harris. vice president there's and governor waltz i think i have white guy tacos and what is that like mayonnaise and tuna what are you doing pretty much ground beef and cheese
Starting point is 00:15:22 that's okay do you put any flavor in it uh no um here's the deal no they said to be careful and let her know this that black pepper is the top of the spice level in minnesota you know i'm the first vice president i believe who has ever grown chili peppers i'm trying to expand my um my food knowledge you know we've got some canelopes you'll be fine okay so this is first of all this is you know produced the same way like Gordon Ramsey's kitchen nightmares is produced like one of these like
Starting point is 00:15:49 reality cooking or whatever restaurant shows which is my music I don't know where they're supposed to be are they in like you know are they in some kind of you know Westchester Mansion it looks like or some state building just having a casual conversation about
Starting point is 00:16:06 white guy taught what is this what is this but by the way what is this this whole like this is the problem that people have with this whole like you know like no one's no one no one reasonable people don't deny racism exists reasonable people don't deny that you know
Starting point is 00:16:23 there's like systemic problems and we got to address them but and look people you know go crazy on one side or the other about it but I mean we all agree can we all agree that these like older white guys who throw themselves like who's just oh yeah I'm just I'm just I have white guy
Starting point is 00:16:38 I'm a slob who doesn't use like you know cayenne pepper and every this idea that white people don't know what spices are who just throw themselves on the oh yeah it's just crucify themselves on the altar of like I'm a bland white guy don't look into my search history
Starting point is 00:16:55 I'm just dog they call them I'm the nice grandpa oh I have white guy tacos but first of all this is a thing that comes up a lot that white people don't know how to season their food that we that we that that I I'm not to say we, like, whatever, but yeah, I am white.
Starting point is 00:17:13 I can't deny that. Especially I'd like, like Tim Walts, I'd love to. I can't deny it. But the idea that, you know, white people as a whole somehow have gone through centuries of, you know, conquering the world and colonizing. And these things they're accused of, and legitimately. And also, they don't like spices. What do you think they were conquering the world for? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:17:39 It doesn't make sense to me to have slings. so you can get, like, you know, Jasmine or whatever. What are the big ones? Saffron. Yeah, saffron. I never understood that, but it was a big deal. There's a lot of money and spices. There's a reason Columbus went out and, like, you know, with boats to find India.
Starting point is 00:17:56 Yeah. So we can get saffron. So you can make saffron chicken. This idea that all we eat is mayonnaise. I just don't. Yeah, I'm sorry. When you order food, a lot of, you know, quote unquote, white, you know, whatever, rest of cultures, it doesn't it's not all jerk chicken yeah and jerk chicken's good it can be very good if it's
Starting point is 00:18:15 you know like anything else like anything else when it's cook proud yeah it's great but i mean can we not pretend like you have to do that well you have to see everything has to be drenched in 16 pounds of of of turmeric or or or a cayenne pepper enough you really i have to i have to go I spent a whole day in a bathroom because you think that, you know, your identity is tied to, like, you know, to, to, to, what's another word, time? Time. What's those seasoning? I don't need 15 different things. Cuman.
Starting point is 00:18:51 Cuman. I love more salt, but chicken more salt, whatever. Oh, yeah. What we think of them? China masala. China masala? I love Indian food. But I mean, you have a egg of schnitzel?
Starting point is 00:19:03 It's delicious. It's great. You don't need to see. season, everything like that. French? Ever had a nice kish? Nothing wrong with a nice keesh? There's nothing wrong with, first of all with white guy food.
Starting point is 00:19:12 Yeah. Oh, it's bland. It's not all, I'm sorry lobster doesn't have, you know, I'm sorry lobster doesn't have Chinese allspice in it. You know, and I'm sorry they don't swim, they don't swim around with just packets of, you know, MSG in their colon that explodes when you catch them. I apologize, but some, some meats are actually good when you don't do much to them. Some of meas you just got to cook them in their own juices.
Starting point is 00:19:38 Yeah, exactly. Make a rue. What's wrong with a rue? Why can't we just appreciate all cultures and not trying to pretend, like, the second of all, a nice tuna salad is delicious. This idea that you can't have like a canned, some canned tuna with mayonnaise and a little bit and celery is a revelation. If you do it well, you have a little mustard maybe, a little wish to sheer. It's delicious.
Starting point is 00:20:01 Put down a nice piece of Italian bread. And people act like the same ingredient, like in their thing as it is superior to like another one. I tried that like, you know, Kupi Mayo stuff. It was good, but it was mayonnaise. Yeah. Oh, Kupi, yeah, Kupi, mea, Kupi, the Japanese mayo. Yeah. No, the Japanese are getting, first of all, all these ideas, like, they don't even cook their food half the time.
Starting point is 00:20:22 It's a raw fish. And they're acting like, oh, we got, but no, their seasoning is more advanced. Everything's just soy sauce and raw. And it's delicious. It's great. I'm not taking any shit. Japanese. I love Japan. I'm learning Japanese right now. But I mean, I'm not going to take any, you know, guff about our food. I love Doritos. Oh, why your tacos tastes like Doritos? Because Doritos rule. Anyway, so what, uh, so this goes, this explains the taco, white guy taco controversy. I'm going to guess, right? You can tell me if I'm right or wrong. But like, I, is it, they're, they're saying you're self-hating. You're bending the knee too much to this deep. I, well, here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:21:05 He's a white guy tacos. All right. And like, I guess he means, you look at a real Mexican taco, right? It's like a, it's a soft tortilla, smaller. We all know it. They look it up if you don't know. And like he's probably talking about these Ortega shells, you know,
Starting point is 00:21:20 which are delicious. They're great. They are great. He's Taco Beltype tacos. And he's apologizing to now what Harris has been accused is, is Trump accuser of not being black. She's Indian and part black. Boy, she's not Mexican, right?
Starting point is 00:21:35 Why is he apologizing, like, why is he quibival, you know. So I'm sorry, my tacos aren't good enough. Yeah, he's grovelling to her. He's like, I'm sorry, not black talk. Like, yeah, that's not us, dude. Like, I don't know what you think we are. So I know I should be putting more curry on my tacos. Take it up with, you know, a.O.C.
Starting point is 00:21:52 Like, I don't know why you're bothering me with his waltz. He's like, such a grovelling mess. Anyway, what's the deal? Yeah. Oh, okay. So some people were responding to it. this isn't cute waltz is being used as a clown to mock white people if waltz doesn't like spicy food that's fine but it has nothing to do with being a white guy it's true i haven't seen plenty of
Starting point is 00:22:14 white people eat a very spicy thing yeah no my uncle who was a you know kind of a wild man i think he was a phone career and he was a medic and he got stabbed and he had a tattoo of a lizard you know a fun guy and he uh he would put tabasco on everything and one time on thanksgiv he almost choked to death because he put you know he put too much tabasco and he started to go into like shock or something i don't know i heard my grandma was whining about i wasn't there to see it but the point is you know but he put the basco on on his you know on his milk yeah why be why people love spicy things we you know in the middle of some gas station in the country it's full just this ramen just you know with like 16 pounds of chili pepper on it it's like you know the only thing we
Starting point is 00:22:56 have is black pepper where are you from tim wall i mean you ever had polish food oh yeah Yeah, Polish food. Polish food is delicious. It's not bland. I mean, I don't care. It's like, it's not, I don't think this is a conspiracy. It's just an easy thing to take shots at. And Tim Walts is just, that's, that's the problem with him.
Starting point is 00:23:14 He's a goon. Yeah, no, he's definitely a little bit. He's caricaturing himself a little bit. Yeah, that's, that's what, exactly. Yeah. It's like someone like you who's like, it's the vibe of someone who's like, you know, wiping the blood, the weird blood off his shoe. As he's saying, oh, yeah, I was just sorry I'm late.
Starting point is 00:23:31 I was just, uh, eating someone. white guy tacos you know we don't like spice i'm sorry you know as he's stuffing as he's stuffing a bare bloody underwear into his back pocket of his jeans you know black pepper's really the most we can handle you know i'm a white guy so i don't have any style just your grandpa it's just everyone's i don't i don't like it but um and here here's another response This is interesting. Jesus, on a hunch, I thought, hmm, I wonder if Tim Walz is lying
Starting point is 00:24:07 about how people in Minnesota don't season their food. He won a recipe contest in 2016. Oh, okay, so this is where the line comes in. Okay. So not only was he being a grovelling buffoon, but he's also here that he's using a lot more, you know, garlic powder, onion powder,
Starting point is 00:24:23 chili powder, paprika, olive oil. Green chilies. Yeah, it's just, it's just, it's just, like, it's caricatures. It's just so, and it's, It's fine, but whatever. I, again, like, I just, I don't know what they think we were, the people were colonized in the world for.
Starting point is 00:24:40 Yeah. You know, oil? There was no oil back then. It's all just, there's all just chili powder. Yeah. And again, this is another example of, like, these articles just like not giving, not giving any credit to the idea that like, hey, maybe he's kind of exaggerating. Right.
Starting point is 00:24:55 At least. Yes. Like, it's like, why is he such a weird liar about small things? Right. You know, no one says that. This, like, a screenshot of his recipe was uploaded by Mike Sernovich, I guess. And, like, the article says, there's another tweet by him, and the article says, Sernovich later doubled down on this truly bizarre argument.
Starting point is 00:25:13 It's not that bizarre argument. No, he's actually, I've seen his post. I'm sure he's not to the left, but I don't know much about him. No, like, there's something too much. I don't tend to agree. I don't think it's important. Yeah, no, but he's on point here. This is a valid thing to bring up. He's the epitome of Waltz, that guy who,
Starting point is 00:25:31 When he goes away, when he's not there, you and your other friends are like, he's just like, he's always making, like, you know, he'll be talking about how like, oh, you brought up, you went into Italy. Like, oh, I spent, I spent a whole summer in Italy, uh, 10 years ago. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. And I met the president of Italy. And like, all right. And he goes to the bathroom. It's like, that's not true. Yeah, no, right? Like, that's, it doesn't matter, but it makes you uncomfortable. Everyone's had a friend like that, right? Everyone knows. You've always done someone who's just like, always has to, like, you know, but he's but at least they're boasting this guy's doing it but it's about like i'm just such a piece of garbage i don't even know how to uh where i would bury a prostitute you know who would i i just fumbled it all up i'm such a white guy i would just uh that's uh anyway why you get a manny haven't got mayonnaise uh uh uh but yeah he's again good guy thank thanks for your service mr wall thank you for your service what else is going on
Starting point is 00:26:35 in the world speaking of coaches of youth oh go ahead no I'm sorry I wanted to read more of these Tim Walz oh is there's so many there's a white people
Starting point is 00:26:49 quote unquote this is a certain official white people don't use seasoning is a trope there's no set up it's not a bit what do he like saying a white guy jumping around
Starting point is 00:26:57 and black face is fun well they love to compare it to that yeah it's not as bad Okay, again, this is, as a white guy, I'll say this ain't as bad as blackface. It's just, it's just not. It's just, I mean, it's not as bad. Slavery, I'm not saying that. I'm just saying, again, I'm not even saying like, oh, we're the victim, whatever.
Starting point is 00:27:16 It's probably the most horrifying thing that's ever been done just using the use of entertainment. Though, yeah. What? Blackface. No, it's bad. Horrible. No, I'm saying, this is no one you're, yeah. This is a character analysis.
Starting point is 00:27:29 It's not about weird victims. Oh, yeah, sure. Dan. How well, shit, guys, it's a joke. It wasn't a joke. It's not a joke. It wasn't a joke. It was him being, it was him being a little bitch boy.
Starting point is 00:27:48 I mean, that's just sociopathic at that point. To be like, oh, so really? Imagine if you're like, so how often you eat that? And you're like, oh, no, I was just making it up. What do you mean we're making it up? It would be funny to say. You'd be funny to tell me about, all right cool you thought it would be funny to act helpless about cooking with me
Starting point is 00:28:04 yeah she probably she'll probably just be like okay but like be weirded out you know this wouldn't rise to what it's not watergate yeah it's worse than watergate um speaking of weird things that shouldn't coach football for high school kids uh what's this this thing here is private private equity is coming for youth sports oh finally So private equity is like black rock type stuff. So basically this black rock is like it's done buying every house in America. And now they're going to buy Little League. This seems very, this couldn't be more dystopian.
Starting point is 00:28:44 Cooper's Town All-Star Village sits on a southwest facing slope in the foothills of the Catskill Mountains of Oneonta, New York. You're really doing a lot of work for Oneonta. This is not, all right, but go ahead. Like many businesses in the area, the All-Star Village indulges. in a bit of geographical imposition to borrow the Cooperstown name which has been becomes synonymous with the Hall of Fame.
Starting point is 00:29:06 Yeah, pretty sure they're hours away, but whatever. Let's get to the point. Over the course of the summer, thousands of kids will arrive from across the U.S. to play baseball on this patch of hillside. CASV hosts 14 consecutive tournaments
Starting point is 00:29:21 with a new crop of about 70 teams. We got to get paid. Kids playing baseball. He's 12-year-old boys. Yeah. Bloomberg. This is Bloomberg. I don't know why.
Starting point is 00:29:31 I got to stop bringing Bloomberg. This is the reason this guy didn't become president. For parents, along a way to trip, for the village owners, the boom business. Get to the part where Black Rock buys your child. With registration fees set at just under 1,300 per player.
Starting point is 00:29:45 Jesus Christ. CASV brings in more than $15 million in revenue each season before selling a single milkshake. Oh, imagine sitting there in a hot sun, watching baseball drinking on milkshake. What is this? In the fall of 2021, David Blitzer and Josh Harris, a pair of private equity billionaires with deep ties to professional sports, took control of the village, paying $116 million for an 80% share. Of the village itself?
Starting point is 00:30:12 Yeah, I guess so. Since then, they've assembled a portfolio of more than a dozen companies built around youth sport, including baseball, softball, action sports, and flag football. Earlier this year, they formed an umbrella company called Unrivaled Sports LLC for their growing. empire. This is a problem. Okay, this is a big problem for this country. I'll stop you right there for a minute. Because, you know, look, so people love to say as some kind of, you know, gotcha or like, you know, moderating, you know, idea. Because people panic about Black Rock, right? Black Rock wants to buy out of the houses. And like, what do you think Black Rock is? They're basically, they're private, they make these index funds. And people invested in the index fund. That's why
Starting point is 00:30:52 they own all these assets. Yeah. Which sounds like, you know, like a mob lawyer talking. Like, you know, it's like, what do you have to hold? I don't know these, you know, some Indian kid, these troll farms in India or wherever they make them are just defending private equity. You know, and they get paid 10 cents a day to like defend BlackRock. But this idea like basically they just make an index funds and that like, you know, we're top, which are owned by pension, you know, government worker pensions, right? Yeah. public service pensions and all this stuff and the economy rests on these on these index fund which is some truth to that and so they're going to start doing the same thing here's a problem even beyond like maybe they won't buy your kid this is worse though our entire economy is going to be anchored or every pension in this country is going to be somehow anchored to youth sports have you ever seen youth sports most these kids are terrible most of these kids are like all i mean if you ever watch like a lot of you've watched like a lot of you've been even like the Blue League World Series, it's unbearable.
Starting point is 00:31:58 You want to show, you show me, I mean, I like a little baseball. I like a little, you know, sports action. People, you want to show me a person besides Tim Walts, who I'm concerned about. It's a guy who can't stop talking about youth sports. It's not, it's not fun to watch. And this idea that somehow, like, we're going to build a bubble. That's what we're going to do. We're going to spend 10 years building a bubble around, you know, some fat kid playing catcher.
Starting point is 00:32:23 an or the ante and at some point it's going to have to collapse this is we cannot build our economy has nothing left we don't make steel anymore we don't make we don't hunt witches anymore
Starting point is 00:32:36 the things that make this country great right sure we can't replace that with you know just mediocre kids wanting to be you know Don Mattingly or whoever I mean I know it's an old reference but you know Pete Rose no one cares about real baseball
Starting point is 00:32:51 anymore Hmm. The sand lot, this is an interesting paragraph, the sandlot era when kids played sports largely unsupervised is long gone, Goldberg says. On fourth, which is a real shame for me, but I digress. And the days of parent-coached recreational leaks are fast receding. And their places come the age of travel squads. Kids as young as six are playing on teams with paid coaches, year-round schedules,
Starting point is 00:33:16 multiple practices per week, long-distance travel, and in many cases intense competition. for roster sports or for roster spots in theory these teams prepare kids to play at a college level and beyond in practice they're making youth sports increasingly expensive exclusive and pressurized sure that's that's also a problem but i'm worried more about the economy i don't care but these kids are all jocks they're all bully jocks anyway i'm you know i'm not playing some victim but i'm just saying these ideas these kids are like oh they worry about these kids i'm sure they're beating up you know oh every athlete's a bullie Yeah, whatever.
Starting point is 00:33:53 I don't buy it. And the chase for a limited supply of college scholarships. Wait, didn't they say they were six? Like, what is it? Wait, wait, what do you think? There's no alpha when you're six years old? Yeah. There's an alpha.
Starting point is 00:34:05 I guess that's true. You know, you were a bully when you were six. And the chase for a limited supply of college scholarships, more kids are also specializing in a single sport at younger ages. Despite research showing that cross sports sampling is best for their athletic development. Who cares? this article's got a wrong angle I'm just saying this is this is this is
Starting point is 00:34:25 this is like selling mortgages to like people who like you know work at a you know have a band you know a shitty band I'm just sad wow I can't think of a bad job who working a hot dog stand I don't know I'm not saying if you have a hot dog stand you can't have a house
Starting point is 00:34:42 you know what I'm saying though yeah we shouldn't have given mortgages of people with bad credit yeah that's the point and we shouldn't be like basing our economy which is what's going to happen These are all going to get tied to some weird collateralized index fund that's going to like, and we're going to have like a financial implosion in 15, 20 years because some fucking some kid like, you know, some kid got paralyzed trying to catch a fly ball and he slipped
Starting point is 00:35:04 on banana peel and the whole thing comes tumbling down. I'm not sure how it's going to. We never know how it's going to happen. American parents are going to greater and greater lengths, including hiring private coaches and buying high-end equipment to pad their kids' sports resumes and give them. an edge on their college applications? You know, the problem's going to be. Because, you know, this is all nature.
Starting point is 00:35:26 They're all short-sighted. Because everyone, it's all made of people, right? These financial service things, these companies, right? And you go, the long-term, you know, these kids are assets. And you want, you know, you think people go, oh, you own something. You know, an asset, you want to, you look out for his long-term intro, okay. But these are made of people. And that guy just wants to get a bonus.
Starting point is 00:35:48 And so what's going to happen is These are going to be people who are incentivized To force feed milkshakes These kids They're selling milk I mean before they were selling milkshakes I've never been I've never been a ballpark Got a milkshake
Starting point is 00:36:00 Something they're already on this They're gonna be these kids are always got to be cramped up Having you know digestive problems Eating too many milkshakes And the whole thing's gonna These kids are gonna get like It's gonna be a diarrhea Issue
Starting point is 00:36:14 Yeah or something I'm just There's gonna be a problem some kids are going to be cramped Some kids are going to die from dehydration Because he couldn't stop shitting from all the milkshakes He made it was told to eat by his coach Because his coach gets a kickback
Starting point is 00:36:27 This is why he don't mix business with Little League Yeah I feel like You know also like I wonder how this Ends up bleeding into social media you know Because like college athletes Can now like kind of get like sponsored Are you going to see like six year old kids
Starting point is 00:36:44 Getting sponsored? Right Yeah sure I see that happening. Yeah. And then they're going to fight the kids. These kids are going to be doing advertisements for telegram. You think they're going to be drugging?
Starting point is 00:37:00 You think some guy who's like a division two athlete, like not quite the best? That's the thing. That's the weird thing. Every athlete who's like a pro was like the best the whole time, right? Like you could be on top level in college and still not make the pros, right? Sure. so when you guys like there's like divisions so you're a division three college guy you see some six year old and you know he's going to the top right he's like he's that alpha six year old and you and you and you get in bitter because you know you're not going to me you like no one knows when to stop it's I'm not even saying they're wrong because they've been this guy's being other guys been told since he was six to you know as long as you keep drinking your milkshakes you can be lebron james right and then he got sold a bunch of lies and now we see some six year old he goes Oh, that kid's got it.
Starting point is 00:37:47 I never had it. I was forced into this for profit, for someone else's profit. And so it's going to create all resentment against the young. And I don't know. Maybe you didn't get a kidnap him or something? I don't know. I hope not. I hope you don't see a bunch of athletes, you know, mediocrat athletes kidnapping, you know, young elite athletes.
Starting point is 00:38:05 I hope so, too. And I don't know, whatever, ranting than them. This goal could be like, you know, what's that movie, Man on Fire with Denzel Washington? That's what's going to, that's what we're creating here. Right. Yeah, I mean Yeah, I mean, it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it opens up Yeah, I mean it's it's it's it's respond right claim
Starting point is 00:38:22 I know it opens up a whole host of issues Sure These are kind of questions that Harris and Walsh should be at answering Would you what if your son came to you and said I I need you to spend yeah First of all you need you to drop some some some money on I'm my, uh, private equity baseball team equipment. You would actually say it like that?
Starting point is 00:38:50 Yeah. I mean, usually these things are a little more like, but yeah. Daddy, Daddy, Daddy. I need you to drop some money on this private equity baseball equipment. Yo, dad, what, will, get your diamond hands out and get my, and get my, and get my NFT actresses, man, whatever. Um, if he says to me, he wants, what, what, I mean, I'm not sure. What, I mean, I'm not sure.
Starting point is 00:39:10 Would you tell him, no, we, we might, I can't get you that stuff. because we might lose the, you might make us lose the house. I would say, look at me. Yeah. Do you realize like, you know, like when these guys who are college scouts or basketball, for instance, they look at the parents. They go, this kid's good, but look at his parents. They're not that tall.
Starting point is 00:39:28 Sure. The mom's not over six feet. He's good now. He's good when he's seven. He's not going to get tall, you know. They even do that to like eighth graders or ninth graders. Yeah, look, this kid's phenomenal. He's best in the country.
Starting point is 00:39:40 Or maybe, you know, whatever. He's a really good prospect, but his parents, you know, it's not that big. parents. Well, that's what they, that's what they should be investing in, recruiting some just real beast, beastly women to get pregnant. On breeding athletes. Well, that's, that's more moral. I agree. But so you asked me that question. I said, my son, look at me. We're not, that's not, maybe you can be an accountant or a really smart or really good chess player. You know, try that. What are you going to be? You're going to be, uh, I'm trying to think of an unlikely sports.
Starting point is 00:40:16 You can be Rudy. You mean that kid Rudy, who lied about how he won, he went to Notre Dame or whatever, the Tim Waltz of Notre Dame, who the whole, you know, you made best case you're some guy who's a walk on. We're not, this is not the LeBron James hat. I'm sorry that, you know, I didn't let LeBron James and pregnant me, but that's not who you are, as I would say to him. If I, if my genetics were in a hindrance to our child, I probably just say, yeah, well, you
Starting point is 00:40:43 I'd probably gamble and say, let's go. Sure. I'd say, yeah, why not? Like, I mean, we're going to invest in stocks? No, like, you know, maybe my dumb kid will hit a baseball really well. If I get paralyzed with my look, you know? Imagine if you thought your kid was, like, going to be, like, a really exceptional athlete and he got paralyzed during the game. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:41:05 I mean, it's bad enough when it happens because you love your kid. But when you thought, like, oh, damn, it was a blue chip. I can't imagine the frustration oh yeah I'm just having to having to look at him every day yeah knowing what he could oh yeah he could have gotten you yeah like that can you wheel me to the bathroom it's like fine but you just don't want to because he let you down let your portfolio you down to make you rich yeah yeah I mean look no one I need to get rich but I mean you know a couple million sure cover the cover the cost at least whatever kids you should be able to buy insurance on like your kid being a failure. Yeah, that would be great.
Starting point is 00:41:45 Parents would love that. Anyway, what else is? We need a nicer story. We need something brighter. What's this Italian lunch thing? Everyone likes Italian food. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:01 Italian. They're fighting for their right to feast on the beach. Have you ever seen any of those old Fellini movies like Roma, where they're eating at those giant tables? Yeah, I think I know what you're talking about. Not necessarily on the beach, but they like to, they like to dine alfresco in Italy. Yeah, the godfather, sure, and soprano. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:20 Everything with Italy is always, you know, people eating or fighting in the Coliseum. With Tim Walts in the background, just, you know. Stealing dogs. Yeah, stealing dogs. Italians fight for the right to feast on the beach. For those who feel priced out of expensive, privatized seaside clubs in Italy, elaborate lunch spreads feel like the last bastion of good spirit. This doesn't seem like a problem that we should.
Starting point is 00:42:43 care about on the first glance. Yeah. The New York Times seems to have a strange focus. It's like, they're trying to go, but let's see what is this. So this is, yeah,
Starting point is 00:42:52 what are I looking at here? This is, the people who have the, the banquets are, or the, or the victims? Yeah, these,
Starting point is 00:42:58 uh, I gotta say this does not look like, uh, the hottest people in Italy are doing this. I'm told that Italians, I mean, like, these people are super obese or anything,
Starting point is 00:43:07 but I'm always told about how hot these Italians are. Yeah. And it's just like they're, whatever. They're just, this is like, this is like a lone island slops. Yeah, you can see this on Rockaway Beach.
Starting point is 00:43:14 Yeah. Just have a giant, like, you know, folding table. And, like, it doesn't even look like good food. It looks like macaroni and cheese and, like, beans. Yeah, it's. What is it? They're counting on you not looking at the pictures. One of the guys' faces has some horrible tiger tattoo on his back.
Starting point is 00:43:31 Yeah. So these people are basically terrorists who, like, you know, who eat, like, you know, bad linguine and the smelly cheeses while you're trying to, you know, catch a tan. Yeah, they eat, they eat, they. like, you know, the fish, fish They bring a microwave for the beach and they microwave their fish in the beach. What these people are doing?
Starting point is 00:43:51 What is this article claiming? At 1 p.m. on the San Girolamo beach in Italy's southern city of Bari, as the sun reached its summit and temperatures came close to 100 degrees, the smell of fried green peppers made
Starting point is 00:44:06 its way through a thick maze of umbrellas and folded chairs. I can't imagine anything worse than being in the beach. And like just Someone's, you know, they're cooking their roasted peppers. That would be what, I mean, the beach, it smells like salt water and seaweed, you know, it's, it's a specific smell. I'm not the biggest beach guy, but the beach, you have a sandwich. Yeah. A burger, maybe a hot dog, right?
Starting point is 00:44:27 A hamburger. No one needs to be, like, having a 12-course, you know, a sea urchin, friggin, you know, fried Diablo, smorgias board. Yeah. on plastic tables, decks of playing cards and crossword puzzles were replaced by cotton tablecloths and loud shouts summoned the children for lunch. Aluminum trays of lasagna, rice with mussels and potatoes, seafood pasta, raw octopus, and fried sausages were all served. Was it a community college graduation party? What is this?
Starting point is 00:45:01 As part of a long-standing Italian tradition of feasting on the beach. When it's too hot, we make vegetables. What? How about you go in the water? Stop eating. I mean, what is this? They're supposed to swim. Grazi de Gozi, 61, who were prepared a three-course meal for extended family, like
Starting point is 00:45:21 Parmesan. But over the last couple of summers, her beloved rituals become a sorts of tension. Locals have noticed a growing number of beach clubs on the Appalilitan coast around Bari, a stronghold of seaside picnics, have started banning people from coming in with food. So basically, the people in. Italy, like, no, no, we, this is getting out of hand. You people can't just, you know, bring your, bring your meat low, your fucking pot roast the banquets of the beach.
Starting point is 00:45:47 Your Nona can't shovel lasagna in your mouth while you're on the beach. And in New York Times, I'm somehow the other side of the champion, like, no, somehow like these people are the victim. This is like, this is like a tailgating thing. Yeah. I don't even know what these parties are. Not every, look, not everyone can be a victim. your identity can't be that you were like you know kept from eating you know uh stuffed peppers
Starting point is 00:46:14 you know a freaking long whatever who wants to eat all this shit with sand in your ass by the way yeah really honestly you like you got out of water it seems like such a thick it seems like such a dense thick hot meal to be having on the beach it's good you can say how are you preparing this your plates this is not like no one this is not for it this is it's one thing if you like a butler when he's serving you like a nice shellfish anyway what what's what's what does care about here the news is just shot the news is like it's like 16 genocides happening right now we're talking about this uh in a country where for many people lunch in the beach are the summer's often inextricable protagonists the new directives caused a stirr local newspapers scrupulously reported
Starting point is 00:47:06 the clashes at the beach club's gates at Poolia the beach picnic war read a headline at Italy's largest newspaper this is just more evidence that Tim Walts didn't do shit yeah this is this is what he was fighting for this is what he was fighting for this is like you know I was over there weapons of war eating eating man of gut on the beach
Starting point is 00:47:32 by law no one can bar Italians from bringing their own food to beach That's in their constitution? Not like the right to free speech, but like you can't, hey, you can't stop someone from bringing meatballs to the beach. We're all public, which are all public while resorts only provide a service on them. Okay, so they don't have private, actual private beaches, I guess is the idea. But because the clubs operate under such a peculiar legal arrangement, some owners have taken to enforcing what are generally the unwritten rules about eating out, which is don't be a slob. which is, which includes not bringing your own. Oh, yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:48:09 Which includes not bringing your own food. Stop stuffing meatballs in your pockets. Yeah, just buy a hot dog. It's Coney Island, whatever, the Nathan's. It's some meatballs you put in. Look at this food. This is food? It doesn't even look that good.
Starting point is 00:48:21 I'm sure it's tasty, but like, it looks like, it looks like freaking, is that disco fries? They're bringing disco fries to the beach. Fries with like mozzarella and gravy, it looks like. This is, they got to stop. I mean, you know, you know. you know they're making it seem like this is part of like you know it is somehow tied to like you know the italian heritage like they were doing this in like you know medieval florence or whatever but no but look at this look at this terrorist of a woman who's cooking chicken
Starting point is 00:48:52 scallopini in a fucking little under an umbrella under a beach umbrella Italy This is like District 9 That movie Weird creatures Living in a dump This is craziness What does this have to do
Starting point is 00:49:11 With a beach Like my house is even nice anymore You know Who goes to like Be one with nature And I have like You know steam I get muscles come from the water
Starting point is 00:49:23 But I mean like Why don't have sushi at the beach Yeah That's I mean The Japanese don't do that that would make more sense wouldn't it they're probably dumping their fry oil everywhere too they're probably like dumping their fry oil on seagulls yeah 100% of course because you know it's not the italians are classically sober people you know they're getting hammered on wine
Starting point is 00:49:42 and just and just you know leaving their muscle shells and their and their and they're half-eaten meatballs and their peppers everywhere you know like you like i don't like going in the water at the beach i bet go but it's like this feeling of seaweed right in your touch it's like and That's kind of gross. You get over it. But imagine that was like if it was Penae. Ugh. Just old Pene.
Starting point is 00:50:04 I mean, kids are probably sitting, you know, just fat kids in Italy probably just spend all the time at the crest of the water. Like, instead of getting seashells just putting little ziti's in their mouth. It's so terrible. What happened to Italy? It used to be nice. Many of the women get up to between 4 and 6 a.m. to cook, making the traditional rice with lentils, stuffed cuddlfish. Jesus. Or a sialda of a salad of tomatoes, cucumbers, potatoes.
Starting point is 00:50:32 I love this idea that Americans, there's these pigs. Oh, you think all Italian foods is chicken parmesan. And, you know, and what's the white one? You know, pasta, spaghetti, carbonara. And it's like, no, we get some authentic food of cuddlfish and rice with lentils. That's better. You're right. We're the sloppy.
Starting point is 00:50:52 No, we just made what's better. But go on. We don't give a damn about our food. figures at Ramona, Rita, 35, sitting by a plate of deep fried fish. What? These people are disgusting. In case we feel sick, she works at the emergency rooms, Isabella Salas. Oh, gosh, they're throwing up on there, too.
Starting point is 00:51:11 Yeah, I mean, it's just, like, they're just having a vomatorium at the beach. Yeah. And, like, and, and, and they're just, eating and purging. They just love, they just love having these little Saturnalia's all to themselves. It's like, they're just eating and purging, eating and purging, and then they go, hey, it's Fine. If someone gets alcohol poisoning, she works at Rite Aid. What are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:51:36 Refrigeration. Antonio Rivera, a refrigeration technician, looked over a trays of rolls of pork pork stuff with cheese and repair for an inevitable afternoon. Wait, so, wait, okay, so I'm sorry. He's a, I thought they, I thought they,
Starting point is 00:51:49 he just works as a refrigeration technician. I thought they were hiring him to, like, make sure well, the meat was good at the beach. Well, look, I mean, we always talk about wanting to go to Italy, but I mean, I feel like this is what, this is what we deserve when we go to. Like, I hope that all these people who, like, go to Italy have to endure this. Yeah. That you just, you know, you think it's going to be some kind of, you know, felini-esque frolic on the Amalfi Coast. And you're just, and you're just being inundated with, you know, just lentils.
Starting point is 00:52:19 You go, where's, where's the spaghetti sauce? He says, lentils. Look at this kind of fat woman. eat fried fish this is what we fought World War II for anyway what a weird story
Starting point is 00:52:34 what else do we have here what's this AI consume what's this thing AI MIT researchers say that AI is inherently sociopathic but that it can be trained to give ethical financial advice well I don't know if I want to take any advice
Starting point is 00:52:50 I mean look at it they're smart but I mean it's not I don't think the people at MIT, exactly the most human. Aren't they all like, orange or do you all like incredibly brilliant people who design missiles? Um, they're funded by the defense department. Sure.
Starting point is 00:53:05 I mean, the whole place is like a DARPA college, basically. I'm like, oh, you got an associate pass. Yeah, I'll keep, keep designing the H-bomb,
Starting point is 00:53:11 you know. But let's see what, so. What was it? Go back to the headline again? That being set with no headline, the headline. But it can be trained to give ethical financial.
Starting point is 00:53:24 What the hell is, ethical financial advice yeah yeah like what does that mean yeah what's the the bar for that it's like hey like how do i uh make a profit off of like you know not hitting my kid are eaten uh hardy a wealth manager in los angeles uses artificial intelligence daily quote almost every single meeting i have i have with a client i utilize an AI summarizer to give me notes give me follow-ups give me to do that's that you're talking about a vibrator yeah Hardy says AI tools regularly save his team hours of data entry, portfolio monitoring, and other back office tasks, giving him more time to meet with clients. Again, big, who cares?
Starting point is 00:54:07 Big who cares. No one knows how to write anymore, these articles. They think that everyone needs, like, I guess because you put all these ads next to it. Is that what's going on with journalism now? Like, we have to be able to shove more T-Mobile ads next. So just start writing about, like, you know, start acting like your Hemingway. describing what haven't we talk about? Just, you know, the river.
Starting point is 00:54:30 Anti-Semitism and pretending to be a bullfighter. Yeah. And then, you know, and we'll get to the point about business later. MIT researchers believe there's a clear path of training AI models as subject matter experts that ethically tailor financial advice to an individual's circumstances. I can't just say ethical. It doesn't mean anything. When I hear ethical in this context, I hear not many. Not profitable.
Starting point is 00:54:56 So what we're talking about here is ethical genocide. What are you going to do? Is AI going to tell me to, like, if I can invest in wind power or something? Yeah. Like wind farms? Look, I don't care what you tell me. If a guy comes to my door trying to sell me windstock, I am kicking him to the goddamn curve.
Starting point is 00:55:15 I don't care what anyone else. I will never invest in wind. Instead of responding to how should I invest with generic advice and, uh, to seek professional help an AI chatbot could become a financial advisor itself we're on our way to that holy grail said Andrew low okay this is all look this is this is you realize how hot the stock market is with with like AI yeah i i vizda i mean the video is the vizia basically and this is no financial advice but they're like the guy remember in the in the gold rush like who made money in the gold rush the guy selling the pickaxes yeah that's what the video is selling the car
Starting point is 00:55:53 And everyone else is like, and like all these articles are like, yeah, no, we're going to give ethical, maybe if you, because instead of asking, stop, financial advice, it could say, it could, it could, it could give you advice. It's a holy grail. This country is going to, we're going to have a great depression like you've never seen before. This is all going to come, I'm still tumbling down so hard. I don't know when. I mean, this is all, there's nothing to be nothing to show for any of this. For years, we've been pumping his AI and just babbling about this horse shit. Keep going. It's terrible. We think we're about two or three years away before we can demonstrate a piece of software that by SEC regulatory guidelines will satisfy fiduciary duty. This is going to collapse. Wow. This is what you're investing trillions of dollars to do,
Starting point is 00:56:44 replace an actuarial account under something or whatever, a due diligence guy. But they call those guys mergers acquisitions. The guy in the dark night who's like, I know Batman. is that guy you've heard in place that guy that's why we've invested trillions of dollars we're so fucked financial advice oh AI is inherently sociopathic financial advisors often develop client recommendations through a behavioral finance lens as research suggests that people don't always make rational or unbiased financial decisions but are error prone and emotionally driven um knee jerk reactions like this can often be avoided or corrected
Starting point is 00:57:20 under the guidance of a skilled financial advisor. Which is also like, oh, horseshit, right? Like, no one knows. This idea, like, oh, financial advisors, like, that's, like, there's some kind of reliable, like, they're all crooks. Yeah. We all know they're all, like, you know, like, whatever. I can't read this.
Starting point is 00:57:39 The sociobi seems to cause a characteristic glibness of L.L.A. This is, this written, it are almost written by AI. Yeah. This is just AI trying to justify itself. Oh, for sure. This is a, this is a guy. Do you think that Ted Bundy would go around being like, hey, I can give you advice on stocks and then like kidnap a college girl?
Starting point is 00:57:57 I mean, I'm saying. Like, this is just like, this is literally just, you know, what they say before Terminator 2 starts. Right. Hey, no, we're just here. We're here to freaking do your taxes. Put you in a pen. Lowell and his co-author wrote a research reporter exploring the challenges of widespread adoption of AI-powered financial advice. Um, an LLM can easily argue both sides of an argument, but neither side has weight to it.
Starting point is 00:58:29 AI needs to have a deeper understanding of client's state of mind to build trust. Look, at the end of the day, you need to take a risk. Yeah. I don't know anything about this shit. But like, you know, a stock, you know, you make money you don't. You're a winner or you're a loser. That's what no one wants to tell you. You're the winner.
Starting point is 00:58:44 And AI's not going to fix that. You can make everyone a winner. The whole point, you need people to rip off. Don't be the guy who gets ripped off. That's the only advice he can get. You can look at those shit. But the end of the day, like AI can't, AI is going to make everyone rich?
Starting point is 00:58:59 Who is getting screwed? Yeah. Someone has to get screwed in this country. Right? Right. It ain't going to be Tim Walts. He'll be, he'll be, you know, coaching high school football in Milan.
Starting point is 00:59:12 He's fine. I don't even know what the hell of this world is anymore. Clients input their personal and financial data so the system can learn their preferences. parameters and goals. It's like a dating site. Why can't you just, I mean, how do you fix that? How about AI fixes in cells?
Starting point is 00:59:30 Well, I mean, I think there are a couple of AI girlfriend bots out there. Oh, I meant like, running around. I meant just find slobs and put them together. Oh, sure. Just, you know, we get some guy, just some slob without money and some other slob without money. That's a good point. AI could be used to make an app. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:47 That would just say. Now we're talking. Let's get cooking. It's basically. It's like any other one, Bumble, Tinder, or whatever. Yeah. But instead of swiping through people, you get, you get one. Mm.
Starting point is 00:59:59 And then maybe, maybe you get a backup. Yeah. But that's all you get. So basically we get people to sign a contract first. Yeah. Basically giving away their right to not have sex with someone. Yeah. It's got to be consensual.
Starting point is 01:00:11 AI arranged marriages. Yeah. Yeah. And like, and like, and you don't get to, you don't get to see first. Yeah. And like, but yeah, but trust. But the, it's AI. So it's like, it's like, it's.
Starting point is 01:00:20 So it's going to be within, we'll just say, like, 8% of your, an 8% tolerance of your, of your preferences. Yeah. Pretty good deal. Pretty good. You want roll the dice. You want, you know, you want someone who's within 8% of what you really, really want.
Starting point is 01:00:32 Now it's all why, A.I. doesn't exist. And we're making this all up. But, you know, but they're desperate, these are desperate horny people, and lonely. And we can, that's, that's, I like this. Can you know why? Because that's how you make money in this country. You find something with someone with something wrong with them,
Starting point is 01:00:47 and you exploit it. That's how you make a profit. none of this is an ethical shit about windmills or like you know little league and oh if that's not a little league index fund go the hell i i want to convince some guy who's got a bad bad birthmark on his face that we have found someone who's going to love him it's not true never going to be true you know yeah some guy who's like you know i mean we can match that guy with a maybe like a botched boob job lady like well well look if we if we find Like, hey, it'll literally be me on the phone, you know, putting the phone on mute going like, Lucy, we got, we got, you on with a, with a, with a face wound.
Starting point is 01:01:28 This guy's got a face wound. Well, she's got, she's got a bad leg. Yeah. But there's not AI involved. All the AI found is this woman's the whole match. We don't mention the thing. Mm-mm. You know?
Starting point is 01:01:41 But that's a, I mean, like, like, random things happen. I mean, honestly, this could be a crazy, this could be a crazy experiment. Look, you may find love. Random shit happens. Because even the face wound people would have tears, would have like different tiers of quality, right? Sure. You'd have a guy, like there's guys who look okay with an eye patch or something.
Starting point is 01:01:58 Oh, yeah, it might be better. But then there's the wounds that are kind of have texture to them and they're crazy. And so some women like it when the guy's faces like it's like, it's like a pudding almost. Like it's like an open wound. Like it's like it's infected for sure. I mean, it kind of smells. But like, but he's got a nice eyes. He's a nice looking guy otherwise.
Starting point is 01:02:18 yeah yeah but it's just he has gang like you know whatever like you know Ebola something yeah uh something cute look because we know hot people I don't want to I don't want to deal with their shit yeah because the hot person will just say I could fuck some you know that they're gonna be a problem we need they have they could find we just if they try to sign up we just you know we'll let them give us a credit card number we'll you know sell it on the dark web yeah but you No, no, this is for the kind of person who goes on Reddit anonymously and goes,
