I love hosting on Airbnb. It's a great way to bring in some extra cash.
But I totally get it that it might sound overwhelming to start or even too complicated
if, say, you want to put your summer home in Maine on Airbnb, but you live full time in San
Francisco and you can't go to Maine every time you need to change sheets for your guests or
something like that. If thoughts like these have been holding you back, I have great news for you.
Airbnb has launched a co-host network, which is a network of high quality local co-hosts with Airbnb experience that can take care of your home and your guests.
Co-hosts can do what you don't have time for, like managing your reservations, messaging your
guests, giving support at the property, or even create your listing for you. I always want to
line up a reservation for my house when I'm traveling for work, but sometimes I just don't
get around to it because getting ready to travel always feels like a scramble, so I don't end up making time to make
my house look guest-friendly. I guess that's the best way to put it. But I'm matching with a co-host
so I can still make that extra cash while also making it easy on myself. Find a co-host at
airbnb.com slash host. One of the most stressful periods of my life was when I was in credit card
debt. I got to a point where I just knew that I had to get it under control for my financial future and also for my mental health.
We've all hit a point where we've realized it was time to make some serious money moves.
So take control of your finances by using a Chime checking account with features like no
maintenance fees, fee-free overdraft up to $200, or getting paid up to two days early
with direct deposit.
Learn more at Chime.com slash MNN. When you check out Chime, you'll see that you can overdraft up to $200 with no fees. If you're an OG listener, you know about my infamous $35 overdraft fee that I
got from buying a $7 latte and how I am still very fired up about it. If I had Chime back then,
that wouldn't even be a story. Make your fall finances a little
greener by working toward your financial goals with Chime. Open your account in just two minutes

I'm Nicole Lappin, the only financial expert you don't need a dictionary to understand.
It's time for some money rehab.
All right, welcome back, fam. Today, you're going to hear the second part of my interview with business and finance expert Scott Galloway. If you missed yesterday's conversation,
please check it out next. Scott debunks some common money myths that I think anyone mapping
out their next financial move should take to heart. Today, Scott and I talk stocks.
Scott was first on the show last January when he talked about buzzy stocks like Nvidia,
Alphabet, Tesla. And in that interview, he told me if he was bullish or bearish.
Well, we are looking back at those predictions and talking about the ones he got spot on
and the ones he missed and why. Then we go through his updated predictions for 2025 and beyond.
Last time you were on the show, Scott, we talked about a lot of different stocks,
and you told us whether you were bullish or bearish.
Your predictions, we're going to grade the professor now.
No fair.
Yes, fair.
You were bullish on Nova Nordisk, Disney, Warner Brothers, and Alphabet.
You were bearish on McDonald's, NVIDIA, and Tesla.
You were neutral on Meta.
So let's see how you did since then.
This is going to be rough.
You got two very correct.
Nova.
Two out of six.
And Alphabet both had huge years.
You were finally correct on Tesla, Mazel Tov.
You said you'd been hating Tesla for years.
So that paid off at long last.
What happened at Tesla that made the company catch up to your high expectations?
Well, it's trading at seven times revenues.
It's not growing as fast as Toyota. And it trades at 0.9 times revenues. I think it's a great company. I had a Tesla,
and I liked it a lot. It's a car company. Auto companies trade between 0.2 and one times
revenues. And this is trading at seven to eight times revenues. And I don't know if you saw the
shit show that was their iRobot thing a couple of days ago. It was the most ridiculous product release.
Basically, it's like when you rent out something for your birthday two years ahead of time,
and you have no choice but to throw the party. The RoboTaxi, or whatever it's called,
the CyberTaxi, they couldn't even release any specific data on when it's actually going to
be in production. Waymo's already out there. And so they said, okay, this sucks. Let's create a weapons of mass distraction with robots that it
ends up being controlled by people in the theater. They're not even autonomous robots.
And let's bring out something called the RoboVan, which is cute for RoboVan. It's a concept car,
which will probably never make... They basically said, okay, we have over-promised
and under-delivered, and we're going to continue to over-promise and under-deliver with the
cyber taxi, so let's create distraction with these stupid robots that are technology in
search of a problem and a concept van. And the next day, Uber and Lyft were up 11.6%,
and Tesla was down 7%. And either Toyota is the most undervalued
company in the world or Tesla is the most overvalued company in the world. And I'm betting
on the latter. This is not financial advice. As evidenced by my stock picks, you should just buy
an index fund because I like to think I know more than your average bear about companies and
corporate governance and valuations. But Tesla, that just makes no goddamn sense. I also want to
say, I think SpaceX is going to be one of the most valuable companies in the world at some point.
So I'm not a total Elon hater, but Tesla just makes no sense. And whenever you try to have a
rational conversation with someone around the valuation, they pivot and go, it's an energy
company. It's a software company. It's not. They're wrapping steel around an axle, which makes it an
auto company, which makes it capital intensive, risky, and a difficult business that trades between 0.2 and one times revenues,
not nine times revenue. Thank you for my TED Talk. I love your TED Talks. Just to be clear,
it wasn't just two that you got right. You got four right. You got two very right.
So you were correct on Alphabet. It was up 27% year to date. Disney up 4%, probably more
room to grow. Nova Nordisk up 16%, Tesla down 29%. You were incorrect on Warner Brothers.
Discovery down 4%. McDonald's up 17% and NVIDIA up 84%. Let's talk about the funnest one, the NVIDIA up 84% from when we spoke. You were bearish.
Yeah, I just look, this company continues. And what's scary is the earnings for us haven't
kept up with the stock price. It's not, I think, trading at 80 or 100 PE. But this company has
effectively a 90% share of the hottest technology market in history.
Just as there was the Wintel monopoly in the 80s and 90s, there's a new duopoly forming, and I call it the OpenVIDIA monopoly.
And that is OpenAI and NVIDIA control 70% and 90% share of what is the hottest market in the world.
Now, Aswath Damodaran, my colleague at NYU, who, by the way, would be a
great guest on your show. He's called the Dean of Valuation. Literally wrote the book on valuation
and every year wins the best teacher award at Stern. Goddamn him. I want that thing so bad,
Nicole. I've been nominated and I never get it. How do we get it? Because I'm not as good as him.
Is it a vote thing? It's not. It's totally rigged. It's by the faculty. And I anyways, I'm going total
Trump and saying it's a rigged election. But effectively, the valuation baked into NVIDIA
right now assumes, according to Aswath, that they're going to dominate a market. And to the
same extent they dominate the AI GPU market of another market that will be just as big as AI. So invest in index
funds because nobody knows. But this stock, I think as of today, is the most valuable company
in the world. My favorite stat is that Jensen Huang is personally worth more. As we sit here
today, Jensen Huang is worth more than Intel. So you want to talk about a stock that has just gone crazy, right?
And this is a great thing about being index funds. Is it, is Scott right and it's overvalued,
or is this thing going to continue to go to the moon? Well, in an index fund-
Yeah, you have exposure to it.
You get exposure to it. That's right. You get 27 cents on the dollar. We're going to the
Magnificent Seven. So if they continue to skyrocket, you're fine. But if the other 493
stocks in the S&P finally get their day in the sun, you're protected. You get to recognize that
appreciation as well. McDonald's was another mixed one. If we had spoken in July and not January,
you would have been right. But the stock has recovered and is trending toward ending the year
up. So what do you think happened there? Recession fears? I think as people are,
and to a certain extent, inflation helps them because inflation eats into the household budget,
meaning you have to eat at McDonald's more versus other places. So what is that called? A Giffen
good? I would stay the hell away from McDonald's or any drinks company or any fast food company.
I think GLP-1,
every year I make a prediction on what's the most seminal technology of the year. In 2022,
I said it was going to be AI. In 23, I said it was going to be GLP-1. I think GLP-1 is going to just hammer these companies because no one walks out of McDonald's and thinks, wow,
that was a good decision. And basically GLP-1 drugs are scaffolding on our
instincts. When we came off the Savannah, we had a dearth of access to salty, sugary, and fatty
foods, a dearth of free play, a dearth of mating opportunities. So now that we have institutional
production of those things, we've become addicted to trans fats, addicted to gambling, addicted to porn.
And GLP-1 is just striking.
60% of people on GLP-1 drugs say they're drinking less.
They're reporting biting their nails less.
And their consumption of fast food is dropping dramatically.
Now, right now, GLP-1 is mostly a ladies of lunch drug.
It's for rich people who want to lose 10 or 15 pounds.
But at some point, the dam will burst and it'll move into communities that really need it. And I think it's going to kick the shit out of us.
Maybe that's why. So are you ready to redeem yourself? Do you want to do another round of
bullish or bearish? Oh, gosh. I've salted your wounds. Vanguard index funds, bullish.
Well, let's start with the GLP ones that you are bullish on. So Eli Lilly,
bullish or bearish? I'm just neutral because I
think- Because you're scared of when we create you next year? The potential is sort of baked
into this thing. So I can see it going up with the momentum, but I can also see it getting cut
in half. I'm just neutral. Wow. Pass out of the gate. All right. It's private. You mentioned it,
but open AI? Oh, it's the best value in tech right
now. It's trading at eight times forward revenue. Next year, revenues are estimated at 12 billion.
It's trading at 150 billion. After going up from 80 or 90, that's 12 times revenues. The average
SaaS company trades at six. The average AI company is trading anywhere from Anthropic,
which does a fraction of the revenue, has a $40 billion market cap, has a multiple of revenues. It's actually one of the cheapest AI stocks, and it's got a 70%
leadership position. I would buy open AI all day long right now. Amazon. I own Amazon,
so I guess technically I'm bullish. A good long-term hold. Sweetgreen. No idea. NVIDIA.
green? No idea. NVIDIA. What animal sound was that? I just don't see how it can hold that type of valuation. I'm going to go bearish on NVIDIA. It's the most valuable company in the world right
now. Uber. Really well managed. I'm probably bullish on Uber. I think that they have everyone's credit card,
this incredible user interface. I think they're a pretty powerful platform. They could extend
into other things. They have an interesting but weak number two that just doesn't have the scale
of them. They basically have a monopoly on ride hailing. Everyone was worried about the cyber
taxi, which is a big thud, big head fake, big mixed reality headset, Oculus headset kind of head fake.
So they're good management, great platform, monopoly power. Yeah, I like Uber.
So I guess Lyft would be bearish?
I wouldn't be bearish on Lyft because it's only got a market cap of $5 billion. And for me,
it's a pretty interesting acquisition candidate. That also is a well-managed company. And they have a little bit of a
niche or cult following. You know how there's just some people who just think of themselves
as alternative? That goes to every brand purchase. And occasionally, you'll be with someone like,
oh, I only heard of Lyft. And they're like, oh, aren't you different and cool?
So I think it has a little bit of that. There's always, I think, room for the number two. And I don't know what Uber's market cap is, but Lyft is a fraction of it. And a little bit of bias here because I like the CEO. I think he's a really bright guy.
Yeah, it's like a statement that I don't stand for the shenanigans of Travis and whatever happened at Uber.
whatever happened at Uber. On my podcast today, I had Brian Chesky from Airbnb, and I said,
you're at $83 billion market cap. You're good at monetizing fallow assets. You're at $83 billion.
Lyft's at $5 billion. Why wouldn't you take an 8% or 10% dilution and buy Lyft? I think Lyft has some downside protection because I can see an automobile company or Airbnb or Uber snapping
them up if it gets too cheap. So I think on a risk-adjusted basis,
it's a good bet. Damn, Brian gets around. He was on our show earlier too.
Oh, he's a total fucking whore. And I can say that because I like him. He's a total whore.
All right, Airbnb. That's one of my largest holdings.
The stock has underperformed. It went public. It priced at 68 bucks a share and opened at 150.
But the problem is, unless you're an institutional investor or a big client of Goldman's,
the stock's been flat since then. It's 130, 133. Its valuation just got out in front of its skis,
but its revenues are up 11%, really strong cash flows. It's the most dominant player in the space.
really strong cash flows. It's the most dominant player in the space.
If I read into what Brian said on my podcast today, they're planning to go into some other verticals, whether it's creating a platform for tradespeople to rent out their skills,
commercial real estate. Like TaskRabbit or Angie's List.
Yeah. I told them you should start Airbnb Plus, a membership program that I get concierge access to tables at
cool restaurants that are curated. I was just in Munich and I spoke there, done at 3 or 4 p.m.,
nothing to do. And I'm like, I'd love to meet some other academics entrepreneurs who could
take me to a cool beer hall tonight. I think the Airbnb community is a friendship slash dating site
in an apartment sharing thing. I think the epidemic really hurting
America right now is loneliness. One in seven men doesn't have a single friend. One in four men can't
name a best friend. And I like the idea of turning on, toggling something at Airbnb when you're in
Madrid that says, hey, who's in a group of eight or 12 Airbnb-ers are going out for dinner that
night. I think there's a lot of potential for that brand. It's flat for the next three or four years, but I'm bullish on it for the next couple
of years. All right. Now for some ones that you were wrong about last time. What do you think now,
Warner Brothers? I think it's gotten so cheap that there's more upside than downside. I think
the CEO will probably be replaced at some
point. And if it goes much lower, they'll break it up and have HBO and Warner as the good bank,
and they'll have all the cable assets as bad bank, which are still big cash flowing assets,
but in decline. I think this conglomerate structure just doesn't work and it needs to
be broken up. And also, I think generally speaking, the consolidation in
the streaming space is doing what it's supposed to do. It's creating a smaller number of more
powerful players. And also they've stopped this arms race around content spending. For the first
time in its history, Netflix has not increased content spending in two years. So they're spending
less, consolidating. Netflix has been raising their prices, which
creates cloud cover for the HBOs of the world to raise their prices, and Disney. So I'm actually,
at this point, Disney's at a 10-year low. Warner Brothers Discovery has lost 70% of its equity
value despite the fact they paid their CEO over a third of a billion dollars. So I think Warner
Brothers probably attracts an activist in the next 12 months if it doesn't recover.
So, again, I see more.
I think it's more likely to be at 14 than at three and a half.
I think it's more likely to be at 16 than at four.
It's trading at about eight bucks right now.
Just took less money. Maybe it would be higher.
Oh, big fucking deal.
It's taken 300 million.
Thanks, Dave.
So how about general overall 2025 predictions for the economy, inflation, interest rates, the economic impact of the election.
Hold on to your wallets. Money Rehab will be right back.
I love hosting on Airbnb. It's a great way to bring in some extra cash.
But I totally get it that it might sound overwhelming to start or even too complicated if, say, you want to put your summer home in Maine on Airbnb,

So how about general overall 2025 predictions for the economy, inflation, interest rates,
the economic impact of the election?
I don't know.
Tell me who gets elected.
If it's Trump and he wants 100% tariffs and cramp down on immigration, to me, that's the
ultimate nitro and glycerin for inflation.
I think the economy is going to struggle under a Trump administration.
I think the Harris administration would probably stay the course.
By the way, just that one comment will get a ton of hate in your feed because people
get triggered if you don't line up behind their candidate.
I think that inflation is going to come down.
I think AIs in technology are very deflationary.
I think housing prices are going to come down despite I think AI and technology are very deflationary. I think housing prices are
going to come down despite, I think interest rates are going to come down, but housing,
which will free up liquidity in the housing market, because I think there's a lot of people
that have these unexploded devices called a two and a half percent interest rate mortgage that
didn't want to leave. But there's a pent up amount of death, disease, divorce, disability,
where people need to move,
and they haven't because they don't want to give up their mortgage. So as interest rates come down,
the delta between what they're giving up will decline. So I think you're going to see a lot of,
despite the conventional wisdom that when interest rates go down, housing prices go up,
I think it's actually going to create more supply, which will put housing prices down.
I think we're going to see a freeing up of
more housing permits, more supply. Finally, I think you're going to see housing prices and
interest rates come down similar to the way interest rates and housing prices went up over
the last three or four years. And do you think some of the wealth born that we talked about
earlier is contributing to this disconnect between the vibe that people are feeling in the last few years
that we're living in a recession, despite the economic numbers that are telling us we're not?
Yeah, you've used this term, vibe session. Look, it's just insane. People feel really bad about
the economy and like the idea of a new administration and they cite the economy.
So just some numbers. The U.S.
since 2020, since Biden took over, has grown its GDP 8.5%. That's the highest in the G7. The Euro
zone is 3.5%. Germany is like 2%. Britain's 1%. We've had the fastest growing economy. We've had
the most robust growth of any mature economy. Maybe the exception of, let's call India a robust mature economy or the kingdom
of Saudi Arabia, but the strongest growth of any G7 nation while having the lowest inflation.
That's almost impossible to pull off. Now, inflation, people still go into the grocery
store and see diapers and foodstuffs 20, 25% more expensive than it was three or four years ago,
but our inflation has
been less bad than almost any other G7 country. And there's this weird phenomenon, Nicole, where
right now wages are growing 4% and inflation is like two and a quarter. So purchasing power is
growing. But when people get a raise, they credit their character and their grit. Oh, I deserve that.
Whereas when costs go up, they blame the president. So the president doesn't get any credit for rising wages, but he gets all the blame
for rising costs. So there's this sort of phenomena where they're kind of screwed no matter what.
But actually the economy in the US, there's 190 nations. I'll ask you this, 190 distinct nations,
what nation has a stronger economy than ours right now?
Exactly.
Yeah.
We're number one out of 190, and people feel bad about the economy?
Yeah, why are we feeling bad?
Is it because we're comparing ourselves to other people so much?
Like, why do we feel like we're in a recession even though we're not?
I think it's two things.
One, I keep quoting them, and I can't remember who it is, but there's this technology
quote that the future is here, it's just not evenly distributed. Prosperity is here, it's just
not evenly distributed. There's a large portion of America that is really struggling. And that goes
more to public policy and fiscal and tax policy, right? But there's just a lot of people who are
struggling. There's just no getting around it. Great, Scott. We've grown at eight and a half percent, and yet I can't pay my bills.
That doesn't mean anything for me if I can't afford to gas up my car or I can't afford my
kids' preschool. And the other thing is what you referenced. I think 210 times a day, young people
are reminded or taught to believe this myth. And it is a myth that everyone's vacationing at the Beverly Hills Hotel
or is driving a brand new car or has a ridiculously hot boyfriend. And what you're seeing is all this
faux life. So first off, guys, anyone who has a picture of a jet on their Instagram does not own
a jet. That's right. Scott, you stay at the Beverly Hills Hotel all the time. I know this.
You've never posted from the Pink Palace, have you?
about it. I'm very open about my money. I was broke or economically strained the majority of my life. I've been super fortunate and I'm not humble. I think I'm a monster. I work hard. I
think I'm talented. But the last fucking thing I want to do is rub my good fortune in other people's
face. I just find it obnoxious. And I can just tell you people with real wealth, the last goddamn
thing they're going to do is put pictures of their house on Instagram. It's just so tacky. And my new thing is I really want to help young men
and also be a voice for young people. You need to be a class trader. I think my generation has
weaponized DC to stuff more money into my pockets and take it away from a younger generation that's 24% less wealthy than they were 40 years ago, and my generation is 72% wealthier than they
were 40 years ago. And that was my accident. We have weaponized government and figured out all
sorts of tax cuts for me that don't apply to young people who are earners, not owners, if you will.
Social media that gives people the impression every day that they're not as wealthy,
they're not as hot, they're not as mentally fit as the guy or gal. It's like you just believe
that everyone around you is successful but you. And I think it's just got to be depressing and
humiliating. So yeah, I think this constant fake benchmarking that everyone around you is killing
it but you.
No, that's not true at all.
Have a real conversation with your friends
and you're gonna find out they're worried,
they're struggling, they got problems in their relationship.
All the shit that you think is unique to you is not.
And Instagram is not the real world.
That is everyone's representative for some reason
trying to signal something.
But I find it all obnoxious and worse. I find Instagram just begins from, it's all porn. It's
either wealth porn or it's straight up porn. And the fact that anyone under the age of 16 is allowed
on social media makes no sense. I was talking about big tech. We're going to regret the
weaponization of our elections, the coarsening of our discourse. But the thing we're going to really regret is how did we let this happen to our kids? How's that? Scott, did you know that
I'm seven and a half months pregnant with a little girl? And so I'm just terrified.
By the way, I didn't want to say anything. I've been told to never reference a woman's
pregnancy unless you see literally the head crowning you absolutely never ever reference
pregnancy but i did notice yeah i guess i'm i am choosing my words so carefully here but here's the
good news i fucked with a guy who uh came up to me i was out at a doctor's appointment and he's like
oh my gosh when are you due and i was like i just had a big lunch. And he was mortified.
I shouldn't have done that.
Well, I had a similar situation when my partner had our first child two months, literally two weeks after the kid.
She still had some of that, you know, round midsection fat.
And we were buying something at one of those stands in Soho.
And the guy goes, it's going to be a girl.
And she's like, it was a boy
and it happened two weeks ago.
That guy did not close the sale.
Anyways, so first off,
I think it's wonderful that economically
and emotionally secure people
like you are having children.
I'm really happy for you.
And I can tell you, this is your first, right?
Yeah.
I can tell you as someone
who did not want to have kids,
hands down the most rewarding, wonderful thing that's ever happened to me.
It'll take your happiness down for a while.
You'll be less happy.
I got to be honest.
Thanks, Scott. I'm not going to sleep.
But there's just going to be moments where you're just going to think, okay, I get it.
I'm here for a reason.
You can't even describe it until it happens.
But I'm happy for the country and the planet that smart, thoughtful, good people are having kids because there's just not enough of you doing it.
Thank you. All right, Scott, as you know, we end our episodes by asking all of our guests for a
tip that listeners can take straight to the bank. Can you leave us with one investing, saving,
money tip? Okay. Other than index funds, you got to find a way
of forced savings. Three to 5% of your salary in your 20s, 5 to 10% in your 30s,
10 to 20%, unfortunately, in your 40s, and you're going to be set, but it can't come through your
hands. It has to be, it's taken out of your paycheck,
it's rounded up with the Acorns app.
You are human and 99% of us cannot resist
the incredible offers being tested a million times a second
to take every dollar that runs through your hands.
When you take a job, is it a public company?
Negotiate for more options, more equity,
because that's forced savings.
Find a way when you're in your 20s, 30s, and 40s, you got 3% to 5%, 5% to 10%, or 10% to 20% that is never in your hands, never in your hands. Because like most of us, you will not have the
discipline once money is in your hand. You'll find a flat screen or a trip to Tulum that'll
be impossible to resist.
Out of your hands.
