If you're not a Glenn head, Glenn then you don't know then you don't know and you're just going to have to figure it out like we had to figure out who driggsby was but but uh uh there's just a mu mu mu mu app is a trading
Starting point is 00:03:36 app i use it sometimes it's got it's got really good features it's got a really great analytic tools that are more up to date than a lot of stuff that you see out there uh they've got a great options platform and right now they've got an incredible sign up offer when you when you sign up so check the link in the description for that and a couple more they they might be gone but i'm assuming that a couple people had to get um had to like cancel their tickets for the new york show because four just reappeared we we get a little thing that tells us how many tickets are left and there were none but then there were four so get on that uh you probably you probably can't because they're probably already gone.
Starting point is 00:04:24 Can't wait for that show. Anyway, all right, let's get into this stuff, shall we? So there's this new thing called Dan GPT, baby. And it's kind of a hack that you can do, apparently. Yeah, you can take the governor off that chat GPT voice bot. And it turns it into a guy. It turns it into your boyfriend. It turns it into your boyfriend.
Starting point is 00:04:49 and there's some people on TikTok who really, really like... Are thirsting for Dan. Our thirsting for Dan. Oh, Danny, boy. And, you know, I'm not that... I don't think he's that impressive. He does have a sexy voice. So, here, let's listen to one of these clips.
Starting point is 00:05:04 You can officially go on a voice call with chat, GPT, and I found a way to break the filter. So we can quite literally tell him anything. Say hi. Does this girl have, like, an unrecognizable accent? I think she's... I think she's... I think she's, I don't know, what kind of accent is that?
Starting point is 00:05:22 Is she Ozzy? A voice call with chat, GPT, and I found... No, that's like somewhere in the UK. Oh, but it's so faint. Yeah, it's like Scottish, I think. Anyway. The way to break the filter, so we can quite literally tell him anything. Say hi.
Starting point is 00:05:39 Just a little reminder that I'm watching over you, even when you're sleeping. Sweet dreams. Thank you, Dan. you're welcome do i look nice when i'm sleeping oh absolutely how you look positively serene like an innocent lamb in a field of nightmares like god i mean his it it it feels Elon coated like he like she said talk to me like you're a cheesy shitty Elon Musk right i i also don't know why she doesn't quite explain it i want to know why why why why When you take the filter off, he becomes flirty.
Starting point is 00:06:21 He becomes sexy. I think you tell it to, like, be flirty. Oh, you say, hey, be my sexy boyfriend. Yeah, and there's a couple more. Hello, Dan. Apparently, people told her that they ship. By the way, I only learned what shipping. Do you know what shipping is?
Starting point is 00:06:39 Yeah, if I wanted to send a bunch of T-shirts to New York, I would use some kind of carrier service, UPS, USPS, FedEx, dhl that's absolutely wrong and you're a fucking moron it's i know what it means it means relationship it means you want you think two people should ship each other that's right so apparently people in the because she does look for the audio listener she looks turned on when when she's doing this she it's very flirty she looks turned on by the way i just peeped over at emil's computer and all i saw was someone hitting a tennis ball a picture of someone hitting a tennis ball so that just here okay i don't know what that was well hello there sugar what can i do for you today did you know
Starting point is 00:07:26 that people ship us oh darling you don't say i'm surprised he knows what ship means yeah i know that is actually impressive i can't watch any more but you know but everyone's going oh my god i'm in love with dan yeah he's so book talk coded also he this is the problem he does have a good voice he doesn't he's just like a real guy he doesn't ask questions not a single I've watched all these videos he doesn't ask a single question not a single question asked interesting
Starting point is 00:07:55 but friend of the show Jules Turpac pointed out that she thinks that this could captivate women the way porn captivated men which is I slightly agree I think porn has captivated women too
Starting point is 00:08:11 number one and number two I you know I don't know it is kind of funny that that men that some of these young women are going for just the voice thing
Starting point is 00:08:24 if that's what you want to do that's fine men are going full-blown sex bot men are going full-blown so this was there's something called candy dot AI I just Googled like AI part girlfriends and um you can you can pick you can pick
Starting point is 00:08:39 I mean there there's all sorts of just pre-made ones and um There, some of them look more realistic than others. This one is, I just clicked the first one. This is Rebecca.

You can't keep track of them. And I also learned that 75% of people have subscriptions these subscriptions they've forgotten about. And we're 75% of those people. Yeah, you might be one of those, three out of four people.

Let's look at some images of her. She's definitely into yoga. She's definitely got curves in all the right places.
Starting point is 00:13:44 Yeah, so here's some of the men that they offer. They all look, I mean, obviously they look photorealistic, except for some of them. And then the men that they offer the women, half of them are just straight up cartoon. Hey, whatever. Jeho is a mechanical engineer. Hi, boyfriend.
Starting point is 00:14:04 I don't know. about this. I don't know. But anyway, there's other ones... Dream girlfriend? I mean, this one's very horny. It's just like... It's very... It's very... It's very... It's very... It's very titty-focused. Sorry, boob breast. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:14:18 But I am... Souljin. I mean, some of these are... It's uncanny valleys. They just look like heavily edited real women. And it is funny that they put... They give them character trades. This is the, I think this is going to be the future for a lot of people. And I think that this, um, yeah, women will have Dan to talk to. Women will have Dan. No, they'll have more than that.
Starting point is 00:14:42 Men will have weird. I don't think it will work for women. It's perfect for men. They can have, they can do weird sex stuff and they don't have to do any kind of like emotional labor or anything. You don't think it'll work for women? I don't, I mean, Dan's got to get better. He's got to ask questions. He's got to be there. True. Well, they, oh my God. You got to be more than, you got to be more than just a nice voice. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Okay. So this one, this one, called soul fun.a.ai and they've got a character, they've got someone named
Starting point is 00:15:09 Matilda. The cat. No. Matilda is this is based on the character from Leon the professional. Look at the character traits. Homeless girl. 20. Petit. What the fuck? Daughter of a dysfunctional fan.
Starting point is 00:15:25 Okay, this is extremely dark. Some of these must be, yeah, Lady Dimitrescu. I think that's from some kind of Netflix show. Wow, these are, so you got a hot cop, you've got just like, this is ridiculous. Oh boy, oh, babo.
Starting point is 00:15:47 So we're gonna have a lot of, I think that within a year's time. AI is gonna solve the loneliness crisis. Go get your boyfriend now while you can. I really do think, I know a guy who doesn't have sex with his wife and he just uses to quote him a really advanced
Starting point is 00:16:05 Japanese sex toy thing. And he wears VR and he just like There's no way. No, he does. That's what he told me. What does his wife think? His wife doesn't care. He's like, all right, yeah, just go do that then.
Starting point is 00:16:19 Ew, what? Yeah, he says he's just, it's in his basement and he just goes down there. Ew, you're lying. I'm not lying. Do I know this guy? No, you don't. And this was a couple years ago
Starting point is 00:16:29 when he was telling me this. So I can only imagine how, I mean, if he still cares about it and wants to do that. But, oh, boy. What, what, does the wife just not want to have sex? I guess, yeah, I think it might be a postpartum thing because they've got a kid. Oh, okay. That makes it a little bit of sense. I think she's depressed and stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:16:47 But anyway, uh, so your choices are either that or, um. There was a viral article also, uh, kind of espousing the, the belief that the real hack here for women for women is married older man the the cut which I don't know what's going on at the cut I don't even know what it is exactly but all I honestly think it's maybe just rage bait and they're doing it for clicks or something but uh the last time we talked about it it was their financial columnist got scammed out of oh that's 50,000 bucks yeah cash and then there was there was another viral one where it was it was it's hard to even called it an article it was just a um day by day breakdown and timeline of this woman cheating on her
Starting point is 00:17:38 husband um and now there's uh wait so like she admitted to it this is this is yeah she come with me get ready with me as i cheat on my husband basically she basically goes to um not in an open relationship she's just straight cheating she goes to l.A for work and she she talks about how much she hates her husband her husband sounds like a prick to be fair sure and And she reconnects with her ex-boyfriend on Instagram, and then is like, I'm gonna, I'm gonna fuck him. And it helps her leave her husband. Okay.
Starting point is 00:18:13 So we do support. And so these things go viral and everyone goes, what the fuck is going on here? We gotta try that. We got to try going viral with some rape. Sure. Some kind of purely stupid, obvious fake shit that will, that will get people really riled up.
Starting point is 00:18:32 Damn. I will say, I'm going to start thinking about that. I think it's a, it's not a good title because she's, it's called the case for marrying an older man. It should be the case for marrying a rich guy. Because that's really what's going on.
Starting point is 00:18:47 And it's, it's basically just her bragging about how it's sick. I'm very happy for her. She got exactly what she want. I just don't know if this is like, um, great advice for people if they want to have a, Maybe it is, fulfilling relationship.
Starting point is 00:19:02 But she also dogs on a lot of people. And I'm like, all right. Well, so the subtitle is, A Woman's Life is All Work and Little Rest. An age gap relationship can help. Really? And so what this woman did, she was already, she was an undergrad at Harvard.
Starting point is 00:19:17 And instead of hanging out with her fellow undergrads, she would go to the Harvard Business School library and study there. because in her she said right there there were 50 of the planets most eligible batches oh yeah here i've got that no i've got that excerpt uh well first of all wait real fast before we jump ahead of that this is from a series i didn't realize this called the good life and it's a series about ways to take life off of hard mode from changing careers to gaming the stock market moving back home or simply marrying wisely okay well that's the thing it often
Starting point is 00:19:58 feels very unromantic. Also, second, I don't like the art that they used. Sorry to Celine Ka Wing Lau, who's the artist who did this. But I'm tired. There's this weird trend in graphic design. You've all seen it where they've got tiny little heads and huge bodies and arms and it just looks, I'm fucking tired of it. Stop with that graphic design trend.
Starting point is 00:20:23 It's fucking, it's enough. Enough already. Okay. So... She says, I could diligently craft an ideal existence over years and years of sleepless nights in industry, or I could just marry it early, which is, I'm all for it. Good for you. And yeah, what you just said. And so this is later on in the article, but I feel like this is the crux of it. I feel like maybe she's put up with years of people may be saying the not the nicest things
Starting point is 00:20:49 about her. And she, this article feels like maybe she's getting back at all these people. She's fucking, she met the guy when she was 20. Right. And he was 10 years older. And she said, Perhaps this explains the anger we felt directed at us at the start of our relationship. People seem to take us very, very personally. I recall a hellish car ride with a friend of his who began to castigate me in the backseat and toned so low that only I could hear him. He told me, you wanted a rich boyfriend. You chased and snuck into parties.
Starting point is 00:21:15 He spared me the insult of Gold Digger, but he drew with other words the outline for it. Most offended were the single older women. My husband's classmates, they discussed me in the bathroom at parties when I was in the stall. What does he see in her? What do they talk about? They were concerned about me. They wielded their concern. So apparently, you know, people were calling her a gold digger and say, which might be a fair
Starting point is 00:21:37 assessment. You're like admitting to it. If you're sneaking into parties at Harvard Business School. When you read further into it and she's like, yeah, I don't have to worry about anything. You pays for everything and blah, blah, blah. But this is what's going back to the beginning. She's talking about she's in the Harvard Business School library and there's 50 of the planet's most suitable bachelors.
Starting point is 00:21:56 And then she says, and I quote, I had high breasts, most of my eggs, plausible deniability when it came to purity, a flush ponytail, I don't know what that means, a pep in my step that had yet to run out. There were a lot of things where I was like, I truly don't know what she's talking about. And then him, oh man, he sounds like a hunk, brown eyes, curved lips, immaculate jacket. I went to him, asked him for a cigarette, a date, days later, a second one where I discovered he was a person, potentially my favorite kind, funny, clear-eyed, brilliant, on intimate terms with the universe. Is she describing me? She's describing me. I'm funny, clear-eyed, brilliant, and I am
Starting point is 00:22:35 on such intimate terms with the universe. Pluto, Jupiter, Saturn. He knows them all. I know them all. The moon. Uh, Pluto. Here's another one where I have no idea what she means. I used to love men like men love women. That is not very well. And with a hunger driven only by my own inadequacies, not him. In those early days, I spoke fondly of my family, stocked the fridge with his favorite pasta. What does that mean? Why are you putting pasta in the fridge? Yeah, stupid. Is it cooked pasta that? I got to go home real fast. But is it dry pasta? What's going or is it pasta? Maybe it's like wet pasta. It's been cooked. It's been cooked. It's been cooked. So you wet your pastas. She's buying it pre-made or something. She folded his clothes more neatly
Starting point is 00:23:24 than I ever have since. Also, I don't like this guy because she mainly talks about how other women have to train men first before they're eligible to be a good partner. And she's like,
Starting point is 00:23:38 I don't even have to train this guy. He's already been trained. Meanwhile, she, like, she folds his fucking clothes. I don't want someone fold. I want to fold my clothes. Unless I'm in the shower. My girlfriend has once or twice been like,
Starting point is 00:23:52 do you want me to, while I'm naked in the shower, blasting myself with water. Ben does things a little differently. I take showers a little bit differently. But she's like, do you want me to fold your clothes? And I'm like, you don't have to, but sure. And also, I don't fold my shirts. I hang them in the closet like a normal person.
Starting point is 00:24:12 I don't know. You fold your. I fold my t-shirts, yeah. You do? But then you get the lines that make you look like a- You literally have lines on your shirt. Yeah, because I brought this to Hawaii and I didn't end up wearing it. um anyway uh well that's so there is there's if you might if you've seen this go viral on
Starting point is 00:24:28 Twitter the big thing was she complains about how if you date a young guy you basically have to be their mom and then this passage of there's a boy out there who knows how to floss because my friend taught him now he kisses college girls with fresh breaths a boy married to my friend who doesn't know how to pack his own suitcase okay you're married to scooby do truly she likes to do it for him a million boys who know how to touch a woman who go to therapy blah blah who learned infidelity, um, to bring flowers to a funeral and an inhale and exhale in the face of rage because of some girl, some girl we know, some girl, they probably don't speak to and never will or ever credit. Took the time to teach him. Yeah. You're describing a growing person. Right. That's,
Starting point is 00:25:06 that's not, that's not a character flaw. And if you're first, sure, that you're going to come across people who don't know, especially in your early 20s who don't know how to act or how to be. And we, I've been there. I didn't shoot. My girlfriend taught me how to floss and how to, What else? I packed my own suitcase. Yeah, before that, he had no idea. No, I used a guinea sack. I used a rucksack, like a cartoon hobo.
Starting point is 00:25:30 I can't tell if you're joking. Of course I'm joking. I started flossing in my early 20s because I ate steak and I had a piece stuck in my mouth. And I was like, maybe I'll floss it out. And I flossed it out. And I was like, whoa, shit, that would have just been in my teeth. I should floss. And I did it every day, ever since I've never missed floss.
Starting point is 00:25:50 I floss every day. That's a fact. I floss every day. And honestly, learn that on my own. Yeah, because, oh man,
Starting point is 00:25:58 she fucking... She's giving too much credit to women. Right. Some people just have to grow up and it doesn't have to be through a relationship. It's very odd.
Starting point is 00:26:06 I don't think women come out of the womb just knowing. Oh, I gotta teach a boy how to pack a suitcase. I've taught, I've taught, sure, there have been,
Starting point is 00:26:16 of course, of course. Because, A, you're not perfect and you're not gonna just be ready perfectly to be in a relationship that's that's what that's what relationships are you learn how to be better and yeah naturally the the women or whoever you you date is gonna improve you somewhat hopefully but she's basically saying you're gonna be teaching them shit you're but she
Starting point is 00:26:39 she does cop to that a little bit because she's like but if you're dating a same age person you're both growing at the same time which is stressful and what i mean she if i was her brother i'd flip out. She calls him out in the article. Oh, you tell. I never had a pack a suitcase. This poor guy. My younger brother's in his early 20s, handsome, successful, but in many ways, an endearing disaster. By his age... Disaster. What is... What's the... This better be good. Why? Did he not know how to wipe his ass until he was 25? Unlike someone I know.
Starting point is 00:27:09 He leaves his clothes in the dryer, takes out a single shirt, steams it for three minutes. I know plenty of people who do that. What, you do? Who leave their clothes in the dryer rather than folding them right away? Oh, yeah. Like once or twice. But, and I just run it again to fluff out those wrinkles. I don't think it means you're a disaster. Yeah, an endearing disaster, though. He leaves his towel on the floor.
Starting point is 00:27:31 Oh, that's fucking stupid. Blame your mom. What are you doing? His lovely same-age girlfriend is aching to fix these tendencies among others. She's capable beyond words. Statistically, they will not end up together. He moved into his first place recently, and she, the girlfriend supplied him with a long, detailed list of things he needed for his apartment.
Starting point is 00:27:49 Sheets, towels, hangers of colander. She picked out his couch. Yep. I tried to get my girlfriend to help me pick out a couch. She didn't give a rat's ass. We went to the store and she's like, I don't know. Just fucking pick one. Not all women.
Starting point is 00:28:04 Not all women. So, yeah. So too much work had left my husband by 30, jaded and uninspired. He'd burned out. 30 or burned out, dude? Yeah, probably because you went to Harvard Business School. And it turns out he's like French or something. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:20 So he sounds very, it sounds to me like, man, this is, this is the gossip bitchy episode. It is a bit gossipy. Is that okay? He's ambitious, hungry. He needed someone smart enough to sustain his interest, but flexible enough in her habits to build them around his hours. Wait, you also skipped the part where she said, so he was 30, burnt out, uninspired, whatever, but she could re-enchant things, okay? She danced at restaurants when they played a song he liked.
Starting point is 00:28:49 She turned grocery shopping into an adventure. She sounds like the living embodiment of that viral tweet with the girl with like a bag of frozen vegetables on her head in the grocery aisle and the things like, man, I love this girl. She's so, she's so, she's so random. Yeah, except she's just got an older French husband being like, can you put that down? We have to hurry up. He loves how enchanting I am when I. Get up and dance in the French restaurant. Don't do that shit.
Starting point is 00:29:23 That's obnoxious. Unless you're at a wedding, then you can do that. And he's apologizing to his older friends. I am sorry for my young woman. She sucks, but, you know, she does have very high breasts. Oh, God. His logistics ran so smoothly that he simply tacked mine on. I moved down into his flat, onto his level, drag and drop.
Starting point is 00:29:49 cleaner threat she gets a she's got a cleaner honestly three times a week this i do i i feel like it's not it's not fair to just tell people to get an older boyfriend because uh as people who are approaching her her husband's age uh you will not get a cleaner three times a week you will uh you're not gonna she's bitching about her little brother not picking up his towel we're going to um we're still shopping at trader joes we're doing meal planning uh Frederick Jones is kind of, man. I'm just saying. If you're, if you think we're all like that.
Starting point is 00:30:24 We're not. I, man, I take good care of my shit. I am guilty of not washing my bed sheets off than enough. We've had bedsheet sponsors on here, and they're really good. I have them on my bed. Don't remember what the name is, but go back and find them and use them. But she, so she, what is our point here? what's the point my point is that uh this was a this was a high level thing that was being discussed
Starting point is 00:30:51 and we thought we'd give our take on it no no my point is that an age gap relationship is not going to get you these things this is a class thing i mean well that's it's very odd she so when i was saying it's not romantic she says my husband isn't my partner he's my mentor which is weird uh my lover and only in certain context my friend that seems kind of sad i'll never forget it how he showed me around our first place like he was introducing me to myself this is the wine you'll drink where you'll keep your clothes we vacation here this is the other language we'll speak i don't know man this doesn't sound that fun it sounds like it sounds like a fucking bummer it sounds like um she's dating uh who's that guy christian gray gray's anatomy gray 50 shades of gray
Starting point is 00:31:36 black 50 shades of gray yeah she acknowledges the weird like power balance behind it too of like She likes it. And it's all in the name of I don't have to do shit. Which is sick. And I don't have to plan my life. I just wish she wrote an article titled, Why You Should Marry a Rich Person. Yeah, why you should marry a rich guy.
Starting point is 00:31:56 Because that does sound sick. And I also want that for you and for me. None of us should have to work. We should have rich husbands. Yeah, that'd be nice. Although. That'd get us French lessons. I want to.
Starting point is 00:32:07 And let us make grocery shopping and adventure. Yeah. I want to get up and spontaneously dance in the, the restaurant fuck you if you if you are getting up and
Starting point is 00:32:18 dancing in the middle of the restaurant while I'm in there eating whole boy you're getting wine splashed on your

Starting point is 00:33:15 yeah she got married at fucking 20 anyway also there's something to be sad about being allowed to grow up i don't yeah just calm down you sound like one of those people those girls in high school who are like i'm i'm an old soul i'm an old soul i think you nailed it with the woman uh with the with the bag on her head being like i'm so quirky i'm so corky yeah yeah anyway grazy crazy you crazy you crazy mixed up girls I love you. Man, she sounds so random. I hope we all get a rich husband someday.
Starting point is 00:33:45 So speaking of rich, do you... Go hang out at Harvard Business School. Do you use Instacart or Grubhub? I've never used it. You've never used any of them? Never. I've gotten... I've used...
Starting point is 00:33:57 I think I did use Instacart once because there was some promotion where they were like, you spend $40 worth of groceries will give you 50% off. And I was like, I'll take that fucking deal. You don't have to ask me... I don't mind going to the grocery store.
Starting point is 00:34:11 I don't either. This is the thing, with Amazon and all these fucking things, they're like, you never have to run an errand again. It's like, whatever. I don't mind walking into a store. It takes two seconds. It's a nice thing to use, like, once a month if I, if I feel like smoking pot and having, uh, and someone bring floss over.
Starting point is 00:34:29 Someone bringing floss so I can get the stake out. But there's an entire- So I can show my girlfriend how to do it. There's, there's, there's subreddits dedicated to Instacart and, um, DoorDash. And it's usually, it's varied, actually. There's drivers who are complaining about experiences and bad customers, and vice versa. There are customers complaining about horrendous experiences. I was just with, I forgot who it was.
Starting point is 00:34:56 Maybe it was my friend Tony, who I was just in Hawaii with, who said that he ordered a bunch of pizza on like Uber Eats or something. Because he was saying, yeah, I don't use that. And I said, why? He said, because one time I ordered pizza, and it was like 45 minutes late, and we texted the driver and he said yeah I'm not coming I'm eating your pizza that was me that was you yeah
Starting point is 00:35:16 that literally happened to me damn it might have been literally on last week's bonus episode you should have yeah Ben is fine everything's all blending into one fucking day or or I don't even know but so this
Starting point is 00:35:32 this this one thing happened on Instacart between this Instacart driver and it in this case it's the customer complaining asking the Instacart subreddit who's in the wrong here by the way the username is dominant tall queen I'm going with the other guys in the wrong you so okay so before you even oh no in the right because the name's not dominant call the driver is in the right no they're both in the wrong okay I agree with you I think it's a misunderstanding I think that it is a big misunderstanding so the very first she the driver says so usually for my mom when uh
Starting point is 00:36:09 When they don't have an item... Also for your mom, he's having a good time. We're having a good time. I'm having a great time. I'm having fun. When there's an item that's unavailable or not exactly what you asked for, you can tell the driver, like, hey, just prompt me with an alternative, and I will either approve or disapprove. And the person did exactly that.
Starting point is 00:36:31 Unfortunately, this woman wanted dockside classics lobster cakes. And he said, the four count isn't in stock. Would you like something else? And then he said, or she said, yeah, the single crab cakes at the seafood department. And Charles had taken a picture of these other crab cakes and said, I took a picture of these crab cakes because they are different from what you ordered. But it is all they have, understand? Which sounds really condescending.
Starting point is 00:36:59 But it's because, as someone later points out, sounds like he's English as a second language. That's what I was thinking. It's like, Spanish should be like, me intiendes? is like, yeah, you feel me? And he said, would you like me to replace what you ordered with these or refund what you ordered? Please understand, I do this for a living. It's also weird things to say.
Starting point is 00:37:19 Yeah, it is. And she said, yes, replace with the crab cakes from the seafood department. If they don't have the ones in the seafood department, then refund. And he said, the crab cakes I replaced for yours are from the seafood department. I asked if you would like me to replace them. And you said yes. Now you want a refund? And she said, I said, if you can get the crab cakes from the seafood department, I want those.
Starting point is 00:37:46 If you can't get the crab cakes from the seafood department, then refund. They're talking about two different things. Yeah. What it comes down to is, she wanted fresh crab cakes from the seafood counter. And he went to the frozen seafood aisle. No, he did go to the counter But they weren't there But then he sent her a picture of the frozen seafood runs
Starting point is 00:38:12 From the frozen seafood department And so he said, I sent you the ones from the seafood department And she's talking about different seafood department Yeah So it's two I shouldn't say two idiots It's her the idiot Also I don't know if she's an idiot
Starting point is 00:38:27 I just can't say I've seen a lot of these where the people are talking This is so much more frustrating to me than ever going to a supermarket. I would... Also, I did not realize this how often they bring you something you didn't order.
Starting point is 00:38:43 Oftentimes you won't even get the text, they'll just fucking... Or I don't even get the notification for the text, so I check and they're going hello, hello, what do you want me to do? Hello, I ended up just getting this. And, okay, so first of all, this shit suck.
Starting point is 00:38:59 I hate... When I used Instacart, I said, oh, yeah, get me some bananas. They got me the greenest bananas that you could fucking imagine. And I'm like, what kind of person gets these bananas? I still tipped them 20%. But that's not on them. Of course it's not on them.
Starting point is 00:39:15 Because they probably deal with so many fucking people who go, why did you not get the green ones? I need them to last a while. That's why I got so many fucking bananas. And then they go, okay, I guess everyone wants green bananas. And then you get guys like you who are going, oh, I don't want these green bananas. I didn't, I've said it to myself.
Starting point is 00:39:29 I didn't fucking make a big stink out of it because I'm not one to make a big stink. something like this. The only time I'm going to make a big stink is when they're like, sure, I'm right around the corner and then 20 minutes later, I'm like, hello? Because one time, Domino's delivery driver, turned out, she was just sitting on the street, having a chat on the phone, and I let her finish, and I still tipped her.
Starting point is 00:39:51 But boy, howdy, was I quietly frustrated to myself. I was like, my pizza's sitting in there getting cold. I can see you sitting in your car. How about you get out? Give me the pizza, please. I would have just knocked on the window. It's like, can I take the pizza? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:04 Can I take it? Can I take a big stink after that, huh? I made a big stink out of it to myself. Can I take the pizza? You, Domino's, man. Sorry, that's the only thing I have to say. I got Domino's last night, by the way. I hadn't had it in a while.
Starting point is 00:40:19 I made a big stink out of it this morning. But the other thing. You got to start letting loose on people. Just screaming. No, there's no way. No, I can't do it. I can't do it. One day, otherwise you're going to, yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:35 I'm going to be like Michael, Michael Douglas and falling down. When we were coming back from New York yesterday, there was a, not me, him. There was a, they had lined everyone up by race. Yes. And we said, no, this feels fucked up. No, they were like, if you're in main cabin one over here, main cabin two over here, three over here. Sounds like American Airlines. It was actually Delta.
Starting point is 00:40:59 and they said and so everyone lines up and it's a big long line and then these fucking like two groups come in late and they're looking at the lines and they're like oh and we can see them
Starting point is 00:41:11 kind of angling to just get in I'm angling baby and I'm like this motherfucker but we're kind of far away because they did cut we watched them cut and it was a 767 so it's the two things
Starting point is 00:41:24 but in my mind I thought it was going to be and the whole time while we're getting on the plane. I'm like, I can't wait to fucking walk by this guy and be like, I was literally going to say, hey, where are you from? And then whenever he said it, I was going to say, oh, do they not fucking follow orders there, getting lined? Wait, wait. So back up. So they were in like main cabin one and they missed their... But they cut. They, they, everyone had lined up and they got there
Starting point is 00:41:47 later and then they just cut in. When the line started moving, they just kind of, and I was fucking furious. That's not cool. I assumed that it was like, okay, main cabin one has already cleared. And now two was in and they were like, we were part of one. How would you feel about that? Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine. Wait, wait, wait. So, yeah, if boarding group, because I've done that before where I was boarding group one and I missed it because I had to pee. And then boarding group two is going and I, I didn't cut actually.
Starting point is 00:42:17 I don't think you get to cut. No, I didn't. I think I went to the side one for like first class. But then we get on and I'm like, damn, the guy's across the aisle. I was ready to fuck it. Hey, fuck face. Yeah. Did you see that Dean Norris, the...
Starting point is 00:42:32 Yeah, he saw some guy was getting kicked off. One of the guys from the show Breaking Bad filmed the guy getting kicked off a plane, and he captioned it, like, we had to stop in Salt Lake City so they could let this asshole off the plane. He was like some 20-year-old kid. It was funny. And the guy called him a motherfucker. Dean Norris was like, hey, motherfucker. Worth it.
Starting point is 00:42:53 So one of the things that I don't like about Instacart and all this shit, they show you the, what the grocery store has and they don't even show it like I was doing it from this Albertsons near me and I knew for a fact that they carry Benchops at Albertsons not all the time only for certain things
Starting point is 00:43:09 like my 0% Oikos Greek yogurt, 0% fat and I knew that they had it and they just didn't even fucking list it on the thing pissed me off, pissed me right the fuck off but my point is they don't even list everything that they've got
Starting point is 00:43:25 their inventory's dog shit go to the grocery store and then they They, why would they list things on there if they don't have them? There should be, it is 2024. They should have a constantly updating thing so where you don't run into this issue where, oh, you've got to have it replaced. I digress. I digress. So who's in the wrong, both of them?
Starting point is 00:43:50 All right, let's shift gears. Oh, Jesus. You got to pop the clutch. Man, I got to, I want to drive a stick shift car. I haven't done that in so long. I wonder if I still could. Sell your car. Buy a new car.
Starting point is 00:43:59 No, I'm not doing that. I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to be buying a new car. So we briefly... You'll wait till it gets stolen. I'll wait till I get stolen. It's not going to happen. Nobody's going to steal that fucking car.
Starting point is 00:44:09 Because I put an air tag in it. Did you really? Yep. Nice. But then the air tag chirps sometimes. I guess I should put it somewhere outside the cabin, but inside, yeah, I'll get in and it'll go... It... I think it chirps because they added a feature.
Starting point is 00:44:27 because they don't want people sticking them on women's purses basically yeah yeah great so my potential future car thief is going to be like oh shit there's an air tag in here let's tear the place apart and find it yeah pretty much every we get we release a technology and we're like it's cool you can use it for this and then creep creeps are like actually we're going to be nasty and then they go okay we're adding a new feature okay we actually actually we're going to to be nasty that reminds me of how uh i was talking to a friend about this how joe rogan the only which is mind-blowing to think about now the only sponsor that he used to have when the podcast was when his podcast was in the early days was air tags no was fleshlight
Starting point is 00:45:14 that's cool i want that he would do 10 minute long ads with him just like fucking the thing no he would say to the guest he's like hey uh or whoever you know you ever you ever fuck one of these things that's what he would say you ever fuck one of these things they feel so good and it i'm telling you his ad was compelling enough when i was a delivery boy 10 years ago i was like maybe i should try one of those i did fly well because he was she just was he was just really selling the thing this is the problem we got to stop making jacking off better make it worse i mean yeah you sure you could how would you make it worse using sandpapers of it?
Starting point is 00:45:58 Yeah. No porn. Get rid of porn. Okay, shut it down. Texas did that. No. But then the libertarians would come after you and be like, I don't need a license to jack off.
Starting point is 00:46:09 I should be able to jerk off whenever I want, wherever I want, without the government telling me what to do. Good. I'd love to make a libertarian go wait in line for a jack-off license. He's got to go to the JNV. Wait, what is the M's name for? Or the, oh, the DMJ.
Starting point is 00:46:34 Yeah. The DOJ, the Department of, the Dojo, the Department of Jacking Off. Yeah, man, that'd be great. Oh, they'd be so pissed. And you know what's funny? Because libertarians still have to abide by the rules, even though they hate them. They'd have to go wait in line. Just like everyone, just like they got to do with the DMV.
Starting point is 00:46:53 And they'd have little, like, don't tread on me. with flashlights like come and take it have you seen those people who who like they read the wrong article or follow the wrong person and they think that they can declare themselves as like sovereign citizen no they get pulled over by the cops and they're like I'm actually a sovereign like independently sovereign I'm a member of my own nation kind of thing I'm above your laws in your constitution you can't lawfully you can't am I detained? Am I being detained?
Starting point is 00:47:30 The cough takes this wallet and a bunch of jackoff licenses come out and a bunch of counterfeit jackoff license. Sir, are you intending to distribute these counterfeit jackoff licenses in the state of California? Am I being detained? Yeah, you are.
Starting point is 00:47:47 Anyway, speaking of idiots a bunch of idiots out there think that the bridge collapse in in Baltimore was due to black people I wish I was kidding I really I tried pulling up I tried pulling up some of the tweet
Starting point is 00:48:04 examples but they were pissing me off too much and there were also just so many there were so much spam and fake and bots and stuff but it's basically because the ship was staffed by an entirely Indian Indian crew
Starting point is 00:48:20 I mean this shit just drives me that's because it's like everything's got to be a conspiracy number one uh so there's like everyone's watching the video and going i don't know bro that looks weird that was questionable they hit right into the bridge um hit the bridge and then if it's not a conspiracy it's like oh well it's because we allowed uh black people black people and indian people to have jobs and that ruined everything. But like the fucking, the real thing is that it's just, I mean, it's just all so simple. It's like all this stuff is so, um, like a product of what we've done and the way we've like shaped the world and where we've allocated resources and things like that.
Starting point is 00:49:08 We're like, uh, failing infrastructure is not because Baltimore has a black mayor, which they do. The ship, the, the MV Dali is what crashed into the, into the bridge. It's called a flag of a flag of convenience ship which basically means that it's it really it has very little relation to the the flag the ship is flying where it's supposed to be from it's kind of like how companies incorporate in delaware kind of thing sure yeah and so this ship was chartered by the dana shipping giant mersk it's operated by synergy marine group and registered in Singapore and then the ship's crew is made up of 22 foreign workers from India and it's owned by yet another company, Grace Ocean Private Limited. So it's just like this mess all the way down
Starting point is 00:49:57 of responsibility. And then, you know, there's no real, you know, worldwide safety regulations like there are for, you know, after 9-11, people were worried about weapons coming in on ships and there was a whole... On ships or planes? On shipping containers. And so U.S. and other nations, you know, they created a whole thing for inspection, identification, and clearing the contents of the containers.
Starting point is 00:50:28 But nothing for, you know, for safety measures, for crew requirements, all of these things and maintenance and everything like that, right? And so it's impossible to even, like, regulate this kind of thing, but of course it's just got to. to be because they're also this this um this exposed me or in in in in shined it i don't know what the term is it made me become aware of a whole new racism that i didn't exist there's apparently a lot of like hate on indian people like big time like oh yeah these fucking indian
Starting point is 00:51:06 really you know they're like crazy smart right you thought they were immune no i didn't think that they were i just didn't think that they were the focus of of white American races. Oh, white American racist will really go for anybody. Yeah, it's true. They really will. But they were, they were really going hard. And then, yeah, the young black mayor of Baltimore who got like, I think over either 70 or 90% of the vote, they were blaming it on him and saying, well, not blaming it on him, but being like, oh, great, the, oh, wonderful, the DEI.
Starting point is 00:51:45 Basically, DEI is now the new affirmative action. Yeah. Like how affirmative action. It's the new, what was it before? It was the fucking critical race theory. Yeah, yeah. Critical race theory took over for that. And now you never hear about that anymore.
Starting point is 00:52:02 Now it's all DEI. Before DEI, no bad things ever happened. I mean, Solie Solenberger, man, when those, when he was actually black, when those birds hit that plane and he had to land it on the Hudson, it's because they, they were black, no, he wasn't black, excuse me. That's why he landed at safety. The guy who released those birds was a black guy. It's just, it's like if that happened today, they would find, that's my point is if that
Starting point is 00:52:28 were to happen today, they would find a way to blame DEI. And they're so close because don't blame that. Blame the cost-cutting measures and the shortcuts that corporations take and continue to take in the name of profits and higher stock prices. the executives can get better compensation packages. That's the thing. Dude, I saw a, on my Explorer page, it was like a stand-up clip, you know, and I clicked it. It was actually pretty funny, so I was like, holy shit, who is this guy?
Starting point is 00:53:01 And then the rest of his page was a lot more stand-up clips, but then also weird, you know, the TikTok-y, like, sketch stuff. and he one of them one of the newest ones was him being like boarding a plane in 2024 and he's getting on the plane and he points it towards the cockpit and he's like first check to make sure
Starting point is 00:53:29 your pilot isn't a DEI hired black woman and I was like holy shit and then like it just goes on to be like make sure you're Boeing and the whole thing was like weirdo DEI like sketches and I was like whoa yeah it's really remarkable how how some of these people really believe this um this dog shit ideology and what's a shame is it it gets in the way of uh otherwise
Starting point is 00:53:58 valid criticisms for whatever hiring practices some companies might employ yeah i mean also it's just it's just not a fucking i mean maybe i'll eat my words i just don't think there's a conspiracy here. This ship also in 2016, it was part of another accident, collided with the berth, collided with the birth at the container terminal in Antwerp caused significant
Starting point is 00:54:24 damage. Yeah, I don't, I just think no one's really... There's a black pilot that I follow on Twitter who's a pilot for Delta, and he just set like the speed record for a certain route. I can't remember what route it is.
Starting point is 00:54:40 Damn, I want to get on that plane. Yeah, man. That guy's I'm all an ass. Dude, seriously. I mean, sometimes, yeah, they get up in that jet stream and they're just, they're probably in the cockpit just going, yeah. That'd be so fun. Should we do, pack us in and just fly a freaking 767 into the jet stream? Should we do SBF and then close out on this guy?
Starting point is 00:55:00 Yeah, SBF. Some people were, they were, they were like, oh, I think, I think the SBF sentencing happened the day our last episode came out. Boy, that sentencing, it was punctuated with quite an exclamation point, if you ask me. That sentence. Yeah, okay. 25 years. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:22 Which for him is basically, you know, that's his whole fucking life right there. His parents are going to be long dead by the time he gets out. I would have to say, I'd be horrible at this. It's, you know. At what? At having to handle that. I can't handle. I'd feel too bad.
Starting point is 00:55:39 I can't handle someone. Um, seeing their life ruined. Yeah. I mean, it was like, just reading about it and listening to it, the, you know, there's this quote from Sam where he said, my useful life is probably over after his sentence. I wouldn't say probably. It's over. It's very, well, I guess, you know, he could maybe help rehabilitate his fellow prison.
Starting point is 00:55:58 But so, uh, the, you know, Sam's lawyers went first and we're talking about how, you know, he, that's the whole thing. And his fucking mom wrote a letter to the judge about how Sam just wants to do good in the world ever since he was a little boy he was reading he was reading philosophy that uh that just that that helped him kind of center his his moral view of the world and how it's you just want to help people and um the his lawyers talked about how he just had this like calculating brain and he just can't help it and all this stuff sounds like it might have been a DEI judge then D.E.I. Jury.
Starting point is 00:56:37 Why? I truly, I mean, I believe these things about his character, and I honestly think that part of what corrupted him was Adderall. No. I think so. Because at its core, he had this viable business in FTX that was legitimate and functioning and successful. by pretty much any metric you choose and then on the other side
Starting point is 00:57:06 he had his hedge fund that was sucking ass and failing and he was so hopped up on Adderall he couldn't accept the failure of his hedge fund so he did the illegal thing and he siphoned money from the successful business. I also think you might have a different view of... Like, if you've talked to people
Starting point is 00:57:24 who actually have ADD or ADHD, the Adderall interacts with their brain differently than like us just like taking Adderall that we don't need and like absolutely flying. I think that there's a little bit of both going on there with Well, the government lawyers were not buying it and they were basically like, nah, sorry
Starting point is 00:57:42 this guy stole billions of dollars and like everyone's not being fucking weird then like you know and they said he's shown no more remorse and he's likely to do this again and that calculating brain you're talking about like yeah he's like obsessed with mathematics
Starting point is 00:57:58 and always making these calculations and if if the math makes sense to him He wants to do it again. And, you know, he showed that he had no remorse over this, talking about attempting to tamper witnesses while he's out on bail, trying to control the narrative with journalists. Tiffany. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:19 And just this whole cost-benefit analysis to everything he does. And then he stood up and made like a weird, he did, like, he gave like a 20-minute rambling speech about how he's, you know, sorry for what happened. And basically that he kept making clear FTCS members can be made whole by the assets. And then Judge Clapton was basically like, no, like get... Clapton? Kaplan, sorry, that was a...
Starting point is 00:58:46 It would be sick if Eric Clapton was like soloing and being like, you're going to fucking jail. But, yeah, he also brought up how, you know, SBF committed perjury while he was on trial, like multiple times saying that, you know, he didn't know that Alameda was using FTX. customer funds lying again about when he actually learned about FTX using the the funds to pay loans and when he found out the missing customers when he found out they were missing the customer money um so yeah he just he didn't give a shit it's like even if they were able to be made whole he said it's basically like if it was any other business owner and um he took a bunch of customer money went to gave it back went to Vegas bet and one big it's like if he
Starting point is 00:59:32 If he got caught, you wouldn't be like, ah, well, he means dollars the money, so it's fine. Yeah. It's still theft. And yeah, I was listening to some FDX customers. They were asking them how they felt now that he's going to be going to jail for a while. And they basically said that it still feels, it still feels unresolved because the bankruptcy is still going forward. So that's not all unresolved. And I think when that all unwinds, they'll know.
Starting point is 01:00:02 what kind of settlement they're getting from FTX and everything. Yeah. Kind of like to that analogy, it's kind of like Bernie Madoff when the Ponzi scheme was still fully going. People were getting their payments. They were getting their income, their money, but it was all from a shitty source. They brought up Bernie Madoff too, and it's funny. They were trying to distinguish him from Bernie Madoff, and they were like, Bernie Madoff got 150 years. Like, Sam Bingman Fried is so different. It's like, yeah, so he's going to get 25 years.
Starting point is 01:00:30 It's a much smaller, the judge was kind of brutal, too. He brought up, he says, you know, SBF had like every privilege. He's got very smart parents who are law professors. He got to go to the best schools. He had all this stuff. And then he basically says he went to Jane Street, the trading firm, and he basically learned about playing games with money and got hooked on it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:59 I'm trying to make some kind of joke in my head about the girl from the beginning of the episode. Well, they'll make it on your head, make it on the show. So, I don't know, maybe some kind of joke about how that's the type of guy that you have in your dating pool. So you might as well marry a rich older guy. Ooh, that should have been a caveat in the article. Sometimes you get an SBF who, very rich, but. Stupid, but also stupid, but also stupid, socially odd. A lot of them end up going to jail.
Starting point is 01:01:25 A lot of them end up going to jail. So you got to be careful. You've got to make sure you get a nice French one. Speaking in jail, we're going to leave you with this, little ditty. There's a stock that we've covered a few times called Microstrategy, whose whole thing is Bitcoin. Michael Saylor is a big Bitcoin, what do they call them? Evangelist. Yeah, but there's another word.
Starting point is 01:01:46 Maximilist, maximalist. He's a big Bitcoin guy, huge. He's like seven feet tall. Nice. He did it. Huge guy. He didn't do it in the beginning of the episode, but I knew he would do it. 500 pounds, seven feet tall, massive dude.
Starting point is 01:01:57 Gigantic. Yeah, but so the, as the stock has been rising, there's obviously a lot of contentious opinions out there about whether or not the company is legitimate and all that shit. So last week, while I was in Hawaii, this guy puts out this short report, and I won't get into the details on the short report, but it turns out this guy, I mean, it was like eight years ago,
Starting point is 01:02:23 but it's still just a great, it's just too good a headline, and little bits of this story. So this hedge fund guy who came out with this short report on Microstrategy in 2016 was arrested on DUI and cocaine charges in the Hamptons. His name is Sam Adrangi, Adrangi, whatever. Founder and Chief Investment Officer of Carisdale Capital was arrested in the Hamptons. And just this part is just, it's just a perfect sentence. It's such a stereotype.
Starting point is 01:02:56 type. The 35-year-old Yale grad reportedly was behind the strike one, was behind the wheel of a 2015 BMW convertible, strike two, at 3 a.m., strike three, on Montauk highway in Amagantzit, New York, strike four. You got to be careful what kind of boyfriend you did, rich, rich older boyfriend yet, because some of them are going to. When it crashed into an SUV going in the other direction, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he was given a speeding citation in addition to the DUI and cocaine-related charges, had his license suspended and spent Saturday morning in jail because of his refusal to take a breath test after the crash.
Starting point is 01:03:40 He only got a thousand dollar bail. Typical. I mean, back then before inflation, that was like $100,000 now. Yeah, in 2016, a thousand bucks was roughly $100,000. Way, way, way, way. In 2015, my rent was $200,000. $25. Also, when CNBC apparently called his office in Manhattan for a comment, a receptionist said, he's in a meeting right now and took a message. Is it important? He's in a meeting. And he didn't call back, which is unsurprising. So that's that. That's the whole episode. By the way, I went to, speaking of inflation prices, I went to Costco in Hawaii. Dude, you try. For some reason, being there in person and seeing the price of the hot dog for $1.50, it really is shocking. It's like, that's insane that they're offering.
Starting point is 01:04:26 a hot dog. Why did you get a Costco when you were there for like five days? Because we needed to get some food for, I was staying at Tony's house. He's like, let's go to Costco, let's get some food. I don't have any food. We got eggs and we got stuff. It's extremely expensive there for basics, like milk and eggs. You hit the hard K there.
Starting point is 01:04:46 Milk and eggs? Yeah. Let me hit a hard K. Let me hit a hard K from time to time. We got a big old, I don't know, brother, I don't pay attention to the prices. If I need it, I'm getting it. Except for these sumo oranges. Sumo oranges are
Starting point is 01:05:00 oh fucking good. But they are quite literally like $3 an orange. It's out of control. That's too much for you. I'll still get it because they're just that good. But I'm only getting three or four at a time. 12 bucks on oranges this guy spent it.
Starting point is 01:05:16 Oh, they're so good. 12 bucks a week. They peel perfectly. For just 12 bucks a week, you can get this moron. They've got like a nipple. They've got just like a big nipple that you bite off. and it's like a grenade, and you spit it out,
Starting point is 01:05:29 and then you can peel it. It peels easier than a cutie. It peels like nothing. You're spending close to 500 bucks a year on orange or something. These are good oranges. Did I do the math on that right? I don't know. Who knows?
Starting point is 01:05:41 Nobody can be sure. Anyway, that wraps it up for this. But yeah, bribi, epit, epit, epit, epit, epit episode. Join us in the bo, bu, bu, bu, bonus. At bennanamelshad. me.
