Hello and welcome to Kamp.
Hello.
Hello, Lucy.
Hi.
How are you doing?
I'm good.
How are you?
Oh, I'm not great.
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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-
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.
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,
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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,
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?
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,
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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?
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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,
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

again good guy thank thanks for your service mr wall
thank you for your service
what else is going on
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
what are I looking at here?
This is,
the people who have the,
the banquets are,
or the,
or the victims?
Yeah,
these,
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,
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.
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.
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?
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
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?
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?
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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,
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.
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
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
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.
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,
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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?
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.
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.
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,
I just want to be held.
I just wish somebody would love me.
Right.
And we make them, you know, stick to that.
Yeah, we just con them.
Yeah.
They got to feel real lonely when they realize what we screwed them.
They're real, I don't know, we're bad people.
This is ethical.
Yeah.
See, that is an ethical dating site.
Yeah.
Hey, I can create an ethical dating site.
