I've got one more. Oh, wow. This one is from Seth X-965. It made me laugh. Sometimes when I'm bored, I think about the things I do that Emil might yell at me in
Starting point is 00:03:16 public for. Well, there you have it, folks. I want to give a huge shout-out to anybody who is in. in the path or was in the path of Hurricane Helene, which is a very... I thought it was Helene. Shit. Helene. What did I say?
Starting point is 00:03:37 I mean, if you're going to do your heartfelt thing... Aline? I don't know. I actually don't know. I might be wrong. I think you're right. It's Helene. And this is a...
Starting point is 00:03:44 Did you see what happened with the Nevada and Nevada mix up? Yeah, I was right. And you were wrong. But you... You were wrong as well because you went, oh, thank you for saying it right to me. Oh, okay. Because I thought that that was, I thought that you thought that you were wrong. Yeah, I thought that I was wrong.
Starting point is 00:04:01 And so you were wrong. Okay. Also, we'll save the fighting. Man, what an episode so far. A happy, big shout out to Glenn. His daughter just got married. So big congratulations to Glenn. We give him a salute.
Starting point is 00:04:14 And also, happy birthday to President Jimmy Carter. He made it to 100. He's. And he's just had to live this long of being horrified by the things he did in office. really just brutal stuff. Yeah. The man seems like he just wants to go. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:29 He's ready to go. I say let him go. Make him stop building habitat for humanity. Oh, they still got him out there. Every week he shows up with just the most bruised thumb you've ever seen because he was holding a nail against two by four. God bless him, but also I hope his time comes soon so that he's released from this mortal coil and his flesh prison that he spent so much time suffering.
Starting point is 00:04:53 within. That was nice. Yeah. So Eric Adams. Who is Eric Adams? Truly one of our favorite guys. Truly one of our favorite guys. We did a nice little, when we did our New York show.
Starting point is 00:05:09 Yeah. We did a nice little Eric Adams intro. Yeah. It was very fun. And I remember being nervous about it because I was like, can I do an impression of a black guy? Well, wasn't you. We had a black guy do it. Oh, yeah, that's right.
Starting point is 00:05:22 That's right. We had an actual black guy. But this whole time, I've been I've been so jealous of New York. They get a crazy mayor. They get a crazy mayor. What a fun thing. Yeah, we don't have a crazy mayor.
Starting point is 00:05:35 And I don't know if anyone remembers when the election was happening, but it was becoming apparent he was going to win because the left was putting up candidates and they just could not get behind anyone. There was all kind of controversy around different candidates. And then there was just this insane cop yeah he grew up in brooklyn and became a cop because he said that he got beat up by the NYPD when he was a teenager
Starting point is 00:06:01 and he wanted to reform the NYPD from within yeah you know what he says he says I was dyslexic I was arrested I was gay no and new that's the John Willaney thing never mind go on dyslexic arrested elected and now he's going to save the world damn he became a Senator in 2006, he served four terms before becoming the mayor of New York City in 2021.
Starting point is 00:06:30 But let's... Wait, wait, not the Senate. The New York Senate. Yeah. Okay. I thought you said the Senate. Oh. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:38 My mistake. He was the New York Senate. Oh, I thought that he was like a senator from New York. No. Oh, wow. Well, fuck me then. Can we play that PSA from a few years ago? It's worth watching.
Starting point is 00:06:52 So this is... No, no. is so long though it's yeah but like let's scrub through it okay so just this is uh from uh it was this this this reappeared during the election yeah he he put out this insane thing because he feels that if you have children in your home you it is your very right to to treat them like criminals and search through all their shit well because they might be hiding contraband and that's exactly what he shows can we just like go go go god damn Well, let him do a little bit of intro.
Starting point is 00:07:25 Yeah, all right, let's hit the intro. The person was shot, doors from my house. I realize how important my crusade is of removing illegal handguns off the streets of New York. Hi, I'm New York State Senator Eric Adams. And for 22 years, I wore a book of blue vest and stood on the street corners and protected children and families in the city of New York. I'm asking you to join me in this crusade of removing illegal handguns off. our streets and out of our homes. Please come and join me inside my house as I show you how simple
Starting point is 00:08:00 items such as bamboo paper can be an indicator of marijuana use or a cut of straw can be an indicator of using cocaine. I will show you how to search a room to ensure that you remove illegal handguns and other contraband from your home. What I would like to show here is to Oh, my God, we're probably going to get copyrighted on this. Are we? I don't know. You never know. No, you don't think so?
Starting point is 00:08:24 It's imperative. Also, can we pause it real fast? Is it just me or does he look like one of the teenage mutant Ninja Turtles became a human? Yeah, with that big old bald head? Yeah, he's got that big old bald. He just looks like, I don't know, Michelangelo, you name it. I would, I want to say Raphael, though, specifically, even though they all look identical. Hey, gang.
Starting point is 00:08:49 We've got to take a quick break to thank the sponsor of the show, Moomoo. You hear us talking about Moomoo all the time. We give a huge shout out to Glenn. And with the election coming up, there's a lot at stake, obviously. But there's something maybe you can do, you know, if you're curious, hey, what's going to happen afterward? That's why they got a themes feature, right? So instead of spending hours doing all the research yourself, all you got to do, pop open Mumu, you open the concept section, you search for Trump and Harris beneficiary concept stocks

Starting point is 00:10:02 global market information as well as news on individual stocks. So, I mean, that combined with the super low fees, I really wonder.

Starting point is 00:11:01 Wow. What are you waiting for, folks? Check the link in the description and get started on your little investment journey today. but uh you scrub through to the middle here he's gonna wait i like him explaining how it's all your uh it's your home you can do whatever you want you write the constitution there are no first amendment rights inside your household it is your obligation and responsibility not only to protect the child that may be using an illegal drug all you can skip ahead let's see him let's see him look in some of the most insane places for uh for example right here he's probably going to start picking stuff up
Starting point is 00:11:37 Look in a jewelry box. A jewelry box of this nature. Maybe a simple jewelry box, but if you look through it closely, you don't know what your child may be hiding. For instance, a gun. A small-calible weapon could be hidden inside a jewelry box. Look at the various colognes and perfumes and photos and pictures. Look at what's in them?
Starting point is 00:11:56 You should always, when your child bring in his popular knapsack with many different locations. I love being a child having a popular nap sack. What exactly is your child's trying? It's funny. He's just picking up. containers basically and be like there could be anything inside of here for example inside of this television you could be hiding a gun or keep going addition to a book something simple as a crack pipe could he have found it on the street that's quite possible but this is a a discussion piece
Starting point is 00:12:30 where you should start speaking with him to find out what is he doing with it and a crack pipe is a discussion piece all right that's enough but yeah i mean it just gets so crazy you should honestly watch it for yourself it gets so crazy he's pulling apart things and just they're just bullets taped to everything so yeah for example check inside of a lamp there could be a bullet hidden there i just love where he goes a crack pipe which could be a conversation a discussion piece yeah i would if i if my child had a crack pipe we'd definitely have a discussion if my child had a crack pipe i'd go who planted this on you? Because there's no way that my own son
Starting point is 00:13:09 or... It would be my son, for sure. My daughter's not smoking crack. My daughter's doing cocaine. I think... Because she's popular. Mayor Adams would say, you never know. Or your son or daughter is a loser. And you found a deck of magic to gathering cards.
Starting point is 00:13:25 In which case, you can stop your search because any child who plays magic to gathering is not using drugs or has access to weapons or paraphernalia. So you can rest easy knowing that your child is not only not having sex but not doing drugs as well. Anyway, okay. So this guy wins. This crazy nut wins the election and becomes just a crazy mayor. He's going off on on rats talking about how he is a
Starting point is 00:13:57 murderer. He wants to murder rats. Like actual snitches? No, I wish. That would be way cooler. Oh, he's talking about physical, just actual rodents. He hired the rat czar. He introduced dumpsters, which New Yorkers were just, they'd never seen a dumpster before. They didn't know what to do with him. Interesting. And then, you know, defunded libraries so he could make it easier for cops to shoot subway riders, all that kind of stuff. Just a fun guy.
Starting point is 00:14:24 And now he's getting charged with, let's see, we've got five counts. He's got conspiracy to commit wire fraud. These are federal offenses, by the way. This is the first sitting mayor of New York City to be indicted with federal criminal charges. Right. So he's got conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud, solicitation of a contribution by a foreign national, which are two counts, and good old-fashioned bribery. We love that. So let's, oh, God, where do we even start?
Starting point is 00:14:56 What was he doing all this for? Where was this money coming from? So it all goes, it all has to do with Turkey. Not the lunchmeat, but it's the country. And it might not just be Turkey. I think Turkey is the most open and shut case, but there are, I think there's at least five other countries. Really? Israel, Qatar, China, South Korea, Uzbekistan that they're looking into.
Starting point is 00:15:20 China. Yeah, China. China, Qatar, South Korea, Uzbekistan. Wow. And honestly, were they all going after the same thing of like Turkey? Was Turkey the biggest one? I don't think they have like a full investigation yet, but I'm sure it wasn't just the Turkish government that he was taking these funds from. Well, the one that we've got from Turkey, he was accused of accepting illegal travel benefits from 2015 to 2021, multiple instances of either free or heavily discounted business class flights, which rocks.
Starting point is 00:15:51 I love that. I stand by him. You could corrupt me. I would sell out my whole family for business class flights. I mean, this is international business class. This is what always surprises me about this stuff is how easy it is... It's not even first class. To buy a politician.
Starting point is 00:16:06 It's whenever you look at the donations from, you know, oil companies, whoever, where you go on OpenSecrets.com, you're like, how much money are they getting for this? And then it's like, it's like five grand. It's like five grand to sell the entire country down the river. It's insane. He, uh, he, he was staying at, uh, he got business class tickets on Turkish Airlines. he got free stays at the Cosmopolitan, in the Cosmopolitan suite at the St. Regis House, Istanbul.
Starting point is 00:16:35 And there's actually, so there is a text exchange between himself and his partner, where his partner was inquiring, is his wife? Why am I calling her a partner? Because it's not his wife. Okay, okay, so his girlfriend. His partner, sorry. However she likes to be in.
Starting point is 00:16:51 Yeah, however she wants to be addressed. They, he was flying from New York, to France. And he had a stopover in Istanbul. And she's like, why do you have a stop over in Istanbul? And according to his text, he said, first stop is always Istanbul. This man will, this man will be trying to go to the Bahamas. He's got to stop in Istanbul. He's got to stop in Istanbul. Because he's doing, he's doing these free... He's doing a little trip to Chicago, Istanbul. Everywhere he goes, he's stopping in Istanbul. So he was specifically directing his staff in 2018 and beyond to accept illegal campaign contributions from a Turkish
Starting point is 00:17:27 from several Turkish businessmen. He was basically, in the nutshell, Turkey wanted a, was it a consulate? Yep. Yeah, they wanted a new consulate building. But that's what's so funny about it. Like, I think a lot of it started even before that in 2015. And so they were really playing a long game here.
Starting point is 00:17:49 And not only that, it makes me think how many politicians are just accepting stuff right now? Oh, yeah. And being groomed to, take, you know, for action later, because it wasn't until way later where they were getting hung up on, on bullshit code from the fire department. I mean, after the earthquake, I mean, Turkey knows a couple things about ignoring building code. I mean, these guys don't give a shit. Oh, man. So they're like, just let us get in the fucking building. Yeah. We know,
Starting point is 00:18:20 so yeah, they didn't care that the issue was that the FDNY was holding up the opening of this new consulate because it didn't, it hadn't yet passed the fire inspection. And Mayor Adams was in cahoots with the fire department and said, nah, just, you know what? Just let them open it. And the reason was these Turkish businessmen wanted to make sure that it was open in time for President Erdogan for the UN General Assembly. So they were just like, just fucking let us go. Just open it. Let us think about all those goddamn flights we gave you, you baldheaded fuck. Yeah. So he was orchestrating this scheme to accept foreign donations through straw donors for his 2025 campaign. And so what's a straw donor? A straw donor is, let's say I'm a foreign businessman. Ben is a foreign businessman. And you are my, you are my American citizen counterpart. Hello, I am a foreign businessman. I would like to donate to the campaign of Mayor Eric Adams. But I can't do that.
Starting point is 00:19:26 because I am not a legal citizen. You are my... I basically write you a check. You then write a check to... You're using a middleman. Sure. Yeah. And that's a straw donation right there.
Starting point is 00:19:40 So Eric Adams and his Turkish cronies... But they have texts of them doing this. Text from Turkish official saying, we can't legally donate to you, but we can figure it out. Yeah. They literally said fundraising in Turkey is not legal. But I think I can raise money for your campaign. off the record.
Starting point is 00:19:58 Jesus fucking Christ. The biggest... They were really creating a trail for the feds. It's unbelievable. A massive, massive trail. A veritable snail trail. We have to go through
Starting point is 00:20:07 some of the actual pieces of the indictment because it's insane. One of my not favorite parts because this is tragic. But so part of it is wire fraud. They were falsely certifying compliance with campaign finance laws,
Starting point is 00:20:20 submitting fraudulent claims for matching funds based on illegal contributions. And this is the dozy for me. they illegally obtained over $10 million in public funds via the matching funds program that I did not know about. Yeah, but it's also unclear just how much they got through that, but I think it could be as much as $10 million.
Starting point is 00:20:41 It's going to be in the millions. And this matching funds program is something... New York's basically going to match small dollar funds. Right, up to $2,000. They will match so that it's meant to be... It's meant to promote candidates who can't get corporate funding, all these, you know, money from PACs and all that stuff and that they can actually run a competitive campaign, even though they don't have the backing of. He also was, what? It's just, it's funny that it just leads to Turkey helping them to fraud.
Starting point is 00:21:13 The exact thing that they, this is the exact thing that we were hoping to avoid. It's not like that law help them. It's just Mayor Adams and Turkish officials taking advantage of it. Oh, yeah, absolutely. And yeah, they were omitting gifts from financial disclosure forms, creating false records for free travel, deleting communications with co-conspirators. That was a big thing. That they, it was, I believe one staffer said to Eric Adams, hey, make sure that you're deleting these texts, by the way, sir. And Eric Adams wrote back, always do. Which is cool. I got a salute. I love this guy. I love, I love just a bit of mild corruption. that's endearing and just makes you go, all right, just step down. Get out of there, man. You did it. All right. We got you, though. Well, he says he's not guilty. Yeah, that's true. He's doing the, it's, I love his defense. They're coming after him. You know why? Because he's in the way of you.
Starting point is 00:22:11 All right. He's protecting ordinary New Yorkers and they don't like that. All right. He's on to something. And he knew this was coming. Maybe the feds started standing up for you guys. He knew he was in trouble. I think that what happened here is the feds went into his apartment and they hid contraband. Like, for example. A couple discussion pieces. Yeah, for example, a crack pipe may have been planted on him. They probably found a gun in the jewelry box. A gun in the jewelry box.
Starting point is 00:22:38 Bullets here and there. All the Turkish fingerprints all over it. I do like this. If you pull up this staffer talking via text, this is one of my personal favorites. This is a text exchange between one of Mayor Adams' staffers. So I guess they didn't know where to stay. Maybe one of the hotels he wanted to stay that was booked or something. And the airline manager for Turkish Airlines is replying.
Starting point is 00:23:02 So Adam Staffer says he is also asking where else they can go in Turkey. Do you have a recommendation? And the airline manager says, four seasons. Adam Staffer says, it's too expensive. And the airline manager says, why does he care? He's not going to pay. His name will not be on anything either. and then the Adam Stafford just says super
Starting point is 00:23:22 which is so great man I feel bad for these staffers because you know they're just trying to get ahead they're trying to do their job they're just being told they're just following order do you think so though some of them like so this is long but
Starting point is 00:23:36 so the Adam staffers asking the airline manager again how much does he owe please let them call me and I will make the payment and the airline manager says it is very expensive because it is last minute I am working on a discount. And Adam Staffer says, okay, thank you.
Starting point is 00:23:51 And the airline manager says, I'm going to charge $50. The Adam Staffer says, no. Airline manager says, that would work, wouldn't it? He says, no, dear, $50? What? Quote a proper price. And the airline manager says, how much should I charge? He goes, his every step is being watched right now, $1,000 or so.
Starting point is 00:24:07 Let it be somewhat real. We don't want them to say he is flying for free. At the moment, the media's attention is on Eric. So they knew all this was happening. And they're trying to like, they're like, okay, we've got to start making this look real. if they know that they're even watching, why continue to have the fucking conversation? I mean, how badly does he need a fucking flight to Turkey?
Starting point is 00:24:27 It's like, that would be like finding contraband in your child's room. And then your child just keeps on getting, acquiring more contraband. You've had the conversation. They're so brazen. You've found the crack pipe, and yet they are still returning with more crack pipes.
Starting point is 00:24:43 It's, stop. I think they, you know, I don't think. I don't think any of them were thinking. But as soon as you realize, there's a, there's a trail on us. Yeah. Maybe let's, let's stop on a turkey for a little bit. Let's stop doing all this.
Starting point is 00:24:59 Let's burn, burn the hard drives. Like, all right, fine. Charges a real price. Yeah, charge us a real price. And then, well, he must really fucking love turkey, man. I got to check out turkey. And then this last one, can you click that last bullet point, the link for the last one on that fourth bullet point?
Starting point is 00:25:14 Yeah. You spelled staffers with one F. I did. So this is a little long, but I love, I just love the way Eric Adams is behaving. So on November 6, 2003, FBI agents executed a search warrant for the electronic devices used by Eric Adams. Although Adams was carrying several electronic devices, including two cell phones, he was not carrying his personal cell phone, which is the device used to communicate about the conduct described in this indictment. What Adams produced his cell phone the next day in response to a subpoena, it was locked, such that the device required a password to open. Adam's claimed that after he learned about the investigation into his conduct, he changed the password on November 5th, 2024.
Starting point is 00:25:54 That's got to be a typeout, yeah, 2020. And increased the complexity of his password from four digits to six. Adams had done this, he claimed to prevent members of his staff from inadvertently or intentionally deleting the contents of his phone because according to Adams, he wished to preserve the contents of his phone due to the investigation. But Adams further claimed he had forgotten the password he had just set. And thus was unable to provide the FBI with a password that would unlock the phone. No, you see, I made the password longer because I was afraid that my staffers might interrupt the investigation by proactively going in there and deleting the contents of my phone that would impede your investigation. But also, oopsie, I forgot the code. So I don't know what to tell you. Like, what a fucking. Just a beautiful mind. I love that.
Starting point is 00:26:43 Again, God, I applaud him. That is truly. He probably said it with a smile on his face, too. Me as a teenager talking to my parents, just coming up with shit on the fly of like, well, I can't let you in there because I was trying to prevent them from tamper with it. I wasn't looking at the Playboy. I was grabbing one to swat a fly. I was trying to get rid of them because there's naked ladies in there.
Starting point is 00:27:09 Yeah, I didn't, I wasn't looking at a pornographic website. I went to go to bobs.com. I was doing research for the FBI. Yeah. Oh, yeah, y'all. All right. So we just wish Eric Adams' godspeed. But it's also just so incredible.
Starting point is 00:27:26 Everyone around him is crumbling. I think it's at least four staffers have stepped down. There's like 15 under investigation. One of them while she was... The entire administration is just an absolute mess. They're in disarray, one might say. And one of Adam's staffers was getting interviewed a voluntary. interview by the FBI. They went to her house. She said, I have to go pee. Will you excuse me,
Starting point is 00:27:50 Mr. FBI agent? And the FBI agent said, well, sure, ma'am. And she went into the bathroom. And I don't know how they find this out. But while she was in there, she was frantically deleting the various apps for encrypted communications and, you know, knocking on the door. She's probably pulling a like, well, no, everything's fine in here, flushing the toilet. And I will say, I just have a bout of it does suck that they've made it way harder to commit crime because it actually it should be way easier to commit no because they have a they have a record of everything we fucking say and so well i guess you just get burner phones or something get get untraceable i want to know what what tip them off to begin with what was it that what did someone notice hey this mayor of new
Starting point is 00:28:38 New York City, sure flying to Turkey a lot. What's going on there? Him coming back with all kinds of body modification? Yeah. Oh, like new hair plugs and whatnot?
Starting point is 00:28:48 Well, clearly not hair plugs, but he's got like calf implants for cheap. Half implants? I'm joking. No, I know, but I didn't know that that was something you go to Turkey for. I think they'll do anything. I should look into getting body-moded.
Starting point is 00:29:00 You get a Turkish doctor, they'll make you look at any of you. I'm going to get body-moded. I'm going to be one of those guys that gets the giant biceps. But I don't want it to be proportional. I want to look like. Popeye. I want to, I want to, uh, I want to look like shit.
Starting point is 00:29:15 Hey, buddy. I don't want to look like shit. I got news for you. I already do. No, I would never say that. Jesus. I would never say that. Well, uh, how about, how's about, we wish you the best of luck. We, we love what you're doing. Don't step down. Don't step down. I think AOC called for him to step down. He's kind of played the race card. Keep doing that kind of stuff. Yeah, yeah. Double, triple, quadruple down. It's everybody of doing it because they're Yeah. If anyone wants you to step down because you clearly committed fraud and bribery, don't do it. It's because they're racist. Now is probably the best time to continue accepting bribes.
Starting point is 00:29:51 No way their guard has got to be. If I'm the cop, I'm thinking there's no way he's going to be taken on more bribery. Istanbul is lovely this time of year. Would you go? If Turkish Airlines would put me in first class? Yeah, business class, which is just as good. Business class? Yeah. I'm getting this consulate building open for you. I'm going business class.
Starting point is 00:30:10 Man, can you imagine sitting next to him? I'd do it for coach tickets. Yeah, I would too. All right, let's switch gears. You want to switch gears there, pal? Yeah, we brought the gear shifter. We should actually get a big gear shifter thing. Wouldn't that be fun?
Starting point is 00:30:24 I wish we had that idea before we did that. Too bad we're out of money. How do I... Folks, how do we look? Everything's really bad. Is this everything's awful? No, everything does not look. I'll tell you what, we are that men's,
Starting point is 00:30:35 menswear Twitter guy's worst nightmare. If he took one look at this podcast, he'd be like... Nenswear Twitter guy. You don't know Derek Guy or whatever it is? Derek Guy, that sounds made up. Can you please... You know who I'm talking about, right? Neither of you guys...
Starting point is 00:30:49 The guy who truly dunks on everyone on Twitter? No. Yes. What is going... You guys do... Wait, his name is actual Derek guy. I'm going crazy. Yeah, because we don't care about clothes as much as you do.
Starting point is 00:31:04 We're not so materialistic. It's not just that. He's very funny. He like dunks on everybody. Oh, here he is talking shit about John Lennon. The people who attended Carter's inauguration also looked pretty great in black tie. This was a time. Can commenters please chime in and I feel like I'm going crazy? I feel like he's. I'm sure people know who he's talking about. All right. So cool. Yeah. Anyway, he also. He probably say that we look like shit. Definitely. He probably say that I look like a boy going to a bar mitzvah who. His whole thing is looking at like he'll take a right wing. politician and be like, dude, your fit is absolutely awful, blah, blah, blah. And then, but he's also just, he's a, he's a born poster. He, he loves. Wait, rate, rate our fits. No, don't, don't do mine. I know it's bad. I do. Well, why didn't you care? I don't really have a nice suit. Yeah, you do. You, Mr. Wedding, as everybody calls you? Don't call me that. You were Mr. wedding. I don't want to fight on our, I went to like 12 weddings last year. And you complained
Starting point is 00:32:02 about it. You're like, I got to go to another. I'm like, you can say no, man. Oh, this one's in fucking Istanbul. How am I going to get to Istanbul? You don't have to go. Jesus, H. All right. Fuck. It's hard to buy a suit.
Starting point is 00:32:16 They're expensive. This is all I've got. And I got this. I got both the, no, this jacket I got. You don't have a nice suit? Mr. Bar Mitzvah? Mr.
Starting point is 00:32:24 Bar Mitzvah? I got this at a sample sale. I got to go to another bar mitzvah. I got this at a sample sale. And then the shirt I got at just a regular ass store. He just pulled a crack pipe out. Oh, man. I should have had a crack pipe.
Starting point is 00:32:37 What do you got in there? Business card? No. All right. Open AI. Lots of changes going on at Open AI. Open AI is done. I'm calling it.
Starting point is 00:32:44 This company's a fucking mess. I think I would say that they're done, except for the amount of money that they're about to be raising. Yeah, but what they've proven is that they cannot come up with any real utility for this. Like a mass marketable utility. Is that true? I feel like they're crushing it, aren't they? Who uses Open AI like daily?
Starting point is 00:33:11 I pay for it because I'm curious. I like, but like... No, you're not curious? I am. You still pay for it? I do not use it for anything. Like I use it for jokes. Sometimes I make...
Starting point is 00:33:24 Whoa. I ask it to make images. It can never get it fucking right. I've been like... They're like, it's your little assistant. Go ahead. Have a crack at it. I'm like, okay, make me a... fucking make me an invite for this birthday party.
Starting point is 00:33:39 And it turns out the most incomprehensible bullshit. It's unusable. What jokes are you having it make? Like that. Sometimes I'll say to someone, I'll be like, you want me to make you a whatever, and then I have it churn something out,
Starting point is 00:33:53 and I send it to him. And they're like, well, can you make it spell right? And I go, nope, I actually can't. It's like, uh, I think chat GPT is basically, uh, but not only that. What?
Starting point is 00:34:03 It's also fucking. expensive. They cannot... My brother in Jesus Christ, they have a free virgin. I've used it, and it's easy. He doesn't even know what I'm talking about. It's expensive for them. They cannot... Oh yeah, they're hemorrhaging money. It costs them so much money. Yeah. It's just... Yeah, last year, or this year, they're on track to make, uh, to lose five billion dollars. Yeah, because they're going to spend about eight and a half billion dollars and they're bringing in about three billion dollars. Where, how do that? off. Although maybe it's all fine. Jerome Powell's cutting rates, baby. We're going back. Free
Starting point is 00:34:41 money's coming back. Those are, I mean, that's, that's like pre-pandemic shit where it's like, it's Uber. It's like, don't make a profit way you're an idiot. I still want to make Boobber, man. Did I tell you about Boobber? Yeah. What is it? What is Boober? It's Topless Women pick you up. Nope. That's what you guessed before. Boober is the app. Don't ask me if you've told me about it. If you want to honk a boob, if you want to honk someone's boobs touch a boob you just pull up boober and um it never worked someone will come over and you can just get your i mean they already have problems with people jesus picking people up and i like your idea better it should be it why why hasn't hooters
Starting point is 00:35:23 gotten into the they did they started an airline yeah and it failed it flopped yeah because no one wants to see boobs nobody wants to see boobs while they're flying on an airplane boobs are out Boob's are out. I think it was because there was too much competition. In the sense that it was... Buts are out now. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:45 And we'll know it's because... Everyone's into butts now. Yeah, but airlines really took market share from Hooters. And FIGAP, the regional airline, Thigh Gap Air, is also crushing it. Thank you. Thank you very much. Oh, did you hear... Did you hear that Haley Hocktua Welch's...
Starting point is 00:36:04 starting of Hocktua bus lines. If I ever see her, I'm going to hand her a gun and be like, just do it. Kill me. Oh, I thought you were going to encourage her to mow down a farmer's market or something. Hock Tua and kill me. Yeah. And then I'm just pressing it against my head gone, Hilly, kill me. I wonder what the next, because we haven't had a tragic celebrity death. I'm talking like at the hands of a murderer, Charlie Manson style.
Starting point is 00:36:28 We're overdue as a society for one of those. I could see it being Hock Tua, girl. I could see it being hers. Well, but she's not beloved enough. Well, I bet there's a guy who is obsessed with her. Of course. There's a guy. Find me a celebrity and there's probably a guy obsessed with you about.
Starting point is 00:36:43 I don't want to be, I don't want to be. So open AI, open AI is pivoting from a. The famous nonprofit. The famous nonprofit is now going for profit. The famous nonprofit who wants AI for, uh, the betterment of humanity. Yeah. Okay. Everyone who's.
Starting point is 00:37:00 But they're doing it for a good reason, apparently. They're, they're going. To turn the fucking money machine. To make it easier for investors to enter an exit into an out of OpenAI and for open AI and for open AI employees to get a little liquidity for their hard-earned equity. But I thought they were doing this out of the good of their hearts. Yeah, but you still got a doing the for-profit model for them makes sense. Why don't we just turn every fucking nonprofit into a for-profit? Maybe we should, man.
Starting point is 00:37:29 Maybe we should start capitalizing on shit, dude. but so there was a lot as is always there's never just much like celebrity deaths RIP Chris Christofferson Dekeme Matumbo Dude what a legend
Starting point is 00:37:40 Everything I fucking read about Chris Christopherson But it's the same thing You know Celebrity deaths happened in threes Or in this case It's like five this week But with open AI
Starting point is 00:37:50 It's always a bunch of shit happening at once Miramaradi The Absolute hottie Honestly She's leaving after six and a half years Pretty sick name It is pretty cool
Starting point is 00:38:00 It sounds like a sports car I recognize her from videos where they're like, did you use everyone's YouTube videos to train these models? And she's like, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. So she's leaving. The chief research officer and the vice president of research are also leaving. She said that she wants to, quote, create the time and space to do her own exploration and said in an interview that she believes OpenAI will continue to be a tool for education and creativity that will expand our intelligence and creativity.
Starting point is 00:38:31 and imagination. I certainly hope that she's right because I like to be an optimist and it is exceedingly difficult to remain optimistic in these trying times. But my big question is... What's your big question? If you are...
Starting point is 00:38:46 If Open AI, if it is to believe that they are on the cusp of changing humanity and all that shit, why would you leave that company? You know? If you...
Starting point is 00:38:57 If it's going to be... Because she's lying. It's just a... release. But also at the same time, I do think there's something to be said for, you've already got your equity fully vested. It's probably been an incredibly stressful time. Like, for example, the chief research officer said it was a natural point for him to explore new opportunities. And the VP of research said that he's taking a break. These people have probably just lost years off of their lives. I'm sure it's been a nightmare. It was less than a year ago, they all voted to fucking fire Sam Altman.
Starting point is 00:39:29 and then he staged a coup and was put back in. It's been a fucking... I don't fucking trust Sam Altman for a second. I wouldn't leave him alone with a crack pipe, okay? Not a single discussion piece in my life. He would smoke all my crack. He would leave none for me. I hope all these mentions of that word
Starting point is 00:39:47 are not going to get us demonetized on YouTube. Crack? Yeah. Careful. Buck crack. Yeah, butt crack. That's what we're talking about. Smoked a little butt crack.
Starting point is 00:39:59 Yeah, he made really. But Sam Altman, so part of the thing, they're raising, Open AI is raising about $6.5 billion at a $150 billion valuation, which is more than, I would say, 99% of the publicly traded companies that are out there, $150 billion. Like their market caps. Yeah, their market cap. Apple was going to invest. They backed out. But Microsoft. Soft is participating. Soft bank is putting in $500 million. Huge shout out to Masayoshi Son. He is... Huge shout out. Such a degenerate gambler. In case you forgot who he is, he's the soft bank guy and he put so much money into WeWork. Call me when Hard Bank's interested. You know what? Yeah, no kidding. Yeah, Hard Bank. Boner Bank. Excuse me. Like it was a mistake.
Starting point is 00:40:59 Boner bag, but Masayoshi's son is, he's about as degenerate as they come. He, in like 2020, he was making so many risky bets. And yeah, he lost, I don't know how many tens of billions of dollars on we work. He's not like Bill Wong, though. Bill Wong lost like 30-something billion betting his shit. Anyway, you got this Thrive Capital. They're leading the charge. They're putting in a billion dollars, and they have a sweetener deal, which means they're
Starting point is 00:41:36 getting just a little extra, probably for being the ones leading it. So they will get the chance to invest an extra billion dollars in a year, but still at today's valuation if OpenAI reaches certain revenue benchmarks, whether or not they're going to do that, who knows? Because Open AI is predicting that they're going to do $11.5 billion in revenue next year, up from $3.7 billion this year. Do you believe in a meal? No. I don't.
Starting point is 00:42:07 The whole tech thing has become, remember companies used to do these. I remember companies. They used to do these big presentations, right? Yeah. And they'd be like, we're introducing this new product. It's going to come out in a month. What do you mean remember when companies used to do that? They currently do it all the time.
Starting point is 00:42:23 No, they don't. Now they go like, look at this shit. we think we might be able to do. And then it just never fucking appears. Like open AI is the king of that shit. They do these huge Tesla is a big one. Yeah. I mean, yeah. Yeah. Semitruck. Anybody remember the semi truck? Where'd that go? Metas? I mean, we're going to get to it, but the glasses. I believe in the glasses. I believe in Mark Zuckerberg. I think that he's on to something. But it used to be like, hey, we got this fucking thing. You're going to love it. Okay. Pre-order it now. They're like, I don't know, it'll come out sometime. What? Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:56 Yeah, okay. Even like Apple's starting to dip their toes in it. They've released an iPhone where they're like, trust us, in a couple months, you're going to have Apple intelligence. Yeah. Well, I just, remember all that shit where they were like, Open AI, it's going to be, you're just going to set your phone down. It's going to be translating for you. You've got to be patient, I think, man. You've got to be patient.
Starting point is 00:43:19 But also, fuck them. That was half a year ago. They're the ones telling us that it's coming now. It's going to happen now. How patient do I have to be? I don't know. fucking sucks. What I feel like
Starting point is 00:43:29 I'm in a doctor's office I got to be so patient. I can't tell if you're with me or against me. I'm both. I'm with you and against you. I'm, you don't know.
Starting point is 00:43:37 I'm like Moudang, man. I'm jumping all over the damn place. Moodang died. Moodang died. The hawk to a girl sat on her. Yeah. She fed her, she fed Moodang a stick of dynamite.
Starting point is 00:43:52 It blew up. Moodang ate that shit up. Moodang seems like a sight of. Psycho. Moodang? What happened to that other? Dude, that's just how baby hippos act. I'm tired of people disrespect and mudang and saying that she doesn't know how to act.
Starting point is 00:44:04 Who is the other hippo that everybody loved a couple years ago? And now it's just like, who gives a shit? Fiona, yeah. No, that's not true. I still keep up with Fiona. No, you don't. No, that's the thing. A lot of people like her early records.
Starting point is 00:44:17 I fuck with the new stuff. Yeah. All right. Well, lastly, with the open AI shit is that Sam Altman reportedly, the board, or the investors, not the board necessarily, but investors want to give Sam 7% equity in Open AI so that he'll have a vested interest in the company performing well. And at an all-hands meeting, he said that that's ludicrous, that ain't happening.
Starting point is 00:44:46 He famously says that he doesn't care about money, but then he's driving around in a fucking $5 million car because he likes cars. I mean, I get that. But yeah, go, go, what was that curly-haired idiot's name? Who is in jail? No, the one who's in jail. Crypto guy. Sam.
Starting point is 00:45:05 Bankman. Bankman fraud. Yeah, Sam Butman Fart. Sam Butman Fart, he did it right. He said, I don't care about money. And he drove a little corolla. All I really care about is fucking ugly women. Oh, that's Sam, not you.
Starting point is 00:45:20 I was going to say, right? Okay, that's kind of a. declaration there yeah that's same butman fraud yeah so that five million dollars on trial i care about one thing your honor fucking ugly women she are chewing gum i came here to do two things your honor chew bubble gum and fuck ugly women and i got so much bubble gum but i also want to fuck this is terrible is this a good episode no it's really bad people are really pissed they're gonna say go back to the go back to not having this is poisoning our brains i'm hot right now we shot the intro you guys you don't understand we took us like an hour to shoot it we also spent too much
Starting point is 00:46:01 money yeah we spent a million dollars anymore all right let's go into the markets uh wait i do want to talk about well all this is going on uh Gavin newsom just vetoed a uh a huge AI protections bill gaby newsy which is unfortunate while uh the the one AI company who was claiming to do it all just for the love of the game and progressing humanity is now going profit, uh, going for profit. It's, I also can't quite, I mean, he's obviously lying, but it's just a, it's brutal. So this was the first of its kind bill, SB 1047 required safety testing of large AI systems or models before they're released to the public. Okay. It also sounds good. I know. It also gave the state's attorney general the right to sue companies over serious harm caused by their technologies. Sounds good to me.
Starting point is 00:46:51 or property damage. Damn. And it mandated a kill switch to turn off AI systems in case of potential bio-warfare, mass casualties, or property damage. Yeah, that seems reasonable to me.
Starting point is 00:47:02 But Mr. Newsom said that the bill was flawed because it focused too much on regulating the biggest AI systems known as frontier models without considering potential risks and harms from the technology. I'm sorry, it seems like it's doing that. So he's just kicking it back
Starting point is 00:47:18 and saying, give me a better bill that's more comprehensive, if I'm understanding him correctly. I believe he wants one that is less stringent. That's his whole thing. See, my whole thing, less stringent. That's what Gabby Nussi says. Less stringent.
Starting point is 00:47:39 You want it less stringent? No, that's what I'm doing it. I'm playing as Gavin Newsom right now. I'm saying, I'm surprised. I mean, so he's also saying that it's going to be bad for all these companies. and stuff. Mr. Elon Musk. Mr. Elon Musk. He said he wanted it to, he said he wanted this to pass. And it was a shame that it didn't pass. Interesting. I'm very surprised, especially because he's
Starting point is 00:48:02 trying to get GROC AI off the ground. Yeah, GROC. Well, let's cut to the markets, shall we? We got this one of the biggest things that happened in the last several weeks, obviously the meta AI thing, but this super micro, which is one of the stocks that did like 10x in the last couple years. They were getting probed in a short report. Well, they're now getting probed by the Department of Justice because of this short report that was put out by Hindenberg calling into question their accounting practices. And my favorite thing, because this whole world of stocks is corrupt, someone always knows. And this is the exact type of thing. You know, we talk about
Starting point is 00:48:50 Mumu on here. This is the exact type of thing that if you're savvy enough and you're paying attention and you're using those tools that Moomu's got, you check the link in the description. You get that sweet little sign-up bonus. But this is the kind of thing that their screeners can catch and I wish that I had been paying attention.
Starting point is 00:49:07 If you click, someone always knows there. I mean, I guess I could have just to paraphrased this, but somebody bought 300 of the now last week, 475, strike puts for $6.95. And they just made several million dollars. They bought, they, they were betting on Super Micro to drop in price mere minutes before the news came out that they
Starting point is 00:49:34 were getting, uh, investigated. And you know whose account that is? Who? Nancy Pelosi's husband. That's Nancy Pelosi's husband. It's not. No, it's not. Um, all right, let's go back. Did you see them? They just, uh, what did they sell? I forgot. I think it was visa. Oh, yeah, right before, Man, that's remarkable timing. They're just good at stocks. I will say, though, Visa gets investigated every couple of years for duopoly shit with MasterCard. Is that what it was? MasterCard?
Starting point is 00:50:02 Yeah. I want to see who's using, you know, when you go to check out at, like, the grocery store and it shows all those other symbols, like Maestro and Star? Who the fuck has one of them cards? Star? I don't know. You don't even know what I'm talking about. Realheads know what I'm talking about.
Starting point is 00:50:18 People who go to pump their own gas, I'm like this guy, makes his wife do it. You have to do it. What? You have to have your wife do it? No, you have to. Because you're scared? You have to pump it yourself. Oh.
Starting point is 00:50:33 I didn't when I lived in New Jersey. Yeah, you have your wife do it. No. That's the law over there. You can't pump your own gas in New Jersey. Yeah, wives have to do it. Nope. Oh, guys have to do it.
Starting point is 00:50:42 A guy does it. Oh, yeah. But like another guy. Not you. Some other guy's wife. Some guy cucks your car. Some other guy's wife. cucks you for your car right so uh yeah meta debuted their glasses and i'm excited personally folks ben
Starting point is 00:50:54 is excited about i'm excited about it i think that it's exciting because um what excite you about it because the experience i i own a i think it's called the quest the ai oculus oculus thank you that's what i was trying to say what is quest that's meta quest no it is the quest all right don't yell at me fuck any who wear your voice. Sometimes it makes me feel queasy and dizzy. What doesn't though? Yeah, things make me dizzy and queasy. All right? Big fucking whoop.
Starting point is 00:51:28 The backs of Uber's. Sometimes if I'm on a boat, maybe. It's just a big ask of Mark Zuckerberg. Also, can we fucking, can you play this video? So, because, so he's making a big, bold prediction here, and I cannot hear, I cannot hear a goddamn
Starting point is 00:51:44 word he's saying because he's dressed like the bad kid in my high school. I don't know. he's just like a cool guy are you serious yeah look how cool he looks and does that say Zuck on his shirt yes that says
Starting point is 00:51:53 I believe it says in like in like Latin it says trust the Zuck fuck me all right just play glasses are going to be the next
Starting point is 00:52:02 I think glasses but yeah I bet you do doesn't tend to just replace the old one right so I guess the version of this that I think about
Starting point is 00:52:12 is like you probably have this experience often where you're sitting at your desk and you have your computer there. How did he become this guy? On the iPhone to do things. That's true, yes. Okay, so at some point in the last few years, mobile really became the primary computing platform. We didn't get rid of our computers.
Starting point is 00:52:29 It's just that even when you have it, you still do more things on your phone. So what I think is going to happen with glasses is we're going to get to this point, probably sometime in the 2030s, where you have your phone with you, but it's going to stay in your pocket more because you're just going to be doing more and more things on your glasses that maybe today you would do on your phone you'll reach a point where cool yeah they're just like ben's just puking on himself my glasses are making me dirty or better in some way on your phone but you're just going to the glasses will be your main computing platform and that will be kind of your default go-to thing gotcha okay don't you think it's but to expect everyone to just start wearing glasses it's not
Starting point is 00:53:09 it listen i think that that that guy it's not that it's i think that guy it's not that it's i think that that guy knows better than us what the future holds. Granted, I will caveat that with. I will caveat that with. He said that about the metaverse. He was dead wrong. But get the fuck out of here. I think that he was much how, you know
Starting point is 00:53:29 something, Apple came out with the Newton before they had the iPad and they were just too early and it was too janky. The technology wasn't there yet. I think that the metaverse, he was too early and it was too janky and it's more going to be augmented
Starting point is 00:53:45 reality. I think that that's going to be the future and it is going to be wearable. Yeah, but an iPad is a bad example. Not everyone has an... I've never owned an iPad. I don't like... Yeah, but you want one so I don't have to have this. Okay, that's like a... No, and then you said I want to play games. You want to play tennis.
Starting point is 00:54:03 This has been the worst. And you want to draw. I don't want to do the show anymore. I don't care. No, we still have minutes left. You can't... You're contractually obligated. Not this episode. No, you're contractually obligated. I don't want to do the show anymore. I don't care how much we spent on the set. Listen.
Starting point is 00:54:16 I don't want to be called out. We're a million dollars in the whole. I wanted an iPad because of a very specific thing. And yeah, people use them at like doctor's offices and stuff. And they're giving them to babies famously. Yeah. But everyone's not carrying around a goddamn iPad. iPad.
Starting point is 00:54:30 Fuck! Oops. I'm not going to wear your stupid fucking glasses. So it comes to my house and force me. And you know what I'm going to have it do? All sorts of shit that you're not going to be able to do with your phone. And you're going to, I'm going to be over here going, ha, ha, wow, look at that. And you're going to go, what is it?
Starting point is 00:54:44 And I go, you should have gotten the glass. But they're going to be sold out everywhere. They're going to be sold out. And they're going to... No, you're going to be miserable. You're going to go, I'm stuck in here. Now I just have Twitter at all times. Everything that makes me unhappy is just...
Starting point is 00:54:55 It's called X. Everything that makes me unhappy is just flashed in front of my face at all times. I fucking hate it. I cannot escape. Yeah, but can you imagine boober? Can you imagine boober on there? No, I'm not going to need boobber. I'm not going to be touching boobs all the time.
Starting point is 00:55:10 You're going to be looking at porn on your glasses. No, I'm not going to be doing that. That's rude. I'm going to say, my life rocks. I hate... I just think that they are going to have cracked the code with these glasses in a way that's... They can't even make them come out yet.
Starting point is 00:55:25 They have a bullshit prototype. Yeah, but they're obviously putting so much money into this. I think it's going to pay off. I think the next iteration of personal computing is something in wearables. Unless they're just trying to force a meme here. No, they're not. Maybe it's going to be a major flop,
Starting point is 00:55:43 but I do think that there's something to be said. for the fact that someone who is still very young, very, very savvy, look how he dresses. Mark Zuckercorn, dude. Mark Zucker, like he's got something to prove. No, he's got nothing to prove, man. No dad should dress like that. He could kick both our asses. This is a guy on the verge of a divorce.
Starting point is 00:56:04 He is, he's unhappy. No, he's incredibly happy. If you're in your 30s with kids and you dress like that, you're unhappy, there's something wrong. Nah, dude. He's on top of the world. out you if you have kids you should have comfy shoes on whatever he's 40 all right okay he's the coolest 40 year old no he's not there's no such thing too look at that first photo look at Jesus Christ his mouth oh yeah yeah he looks like a meat um just meat

He seems like he had a near-death experience, and he's, like, different now. Yeah, maybe. You know, some, you know how some people with, like, reddish hair kind of smell funny? They kind of got that peanut smell. He's got that peanut smell. People out there know what I'm talking about.

Starting point is 00:57:09 I bet that smell is times 10 on him. He's got that, like, Like I said last time, when a white person spends too much time in the sun, it smells like skin. It just smells like skin. All the non-whites out there, they know what I'm talking about. My fellow non-whites, or not fellow, my non-whites out there, they know what I'm talking about. My guy who cuts my hair, he says it sometimes. He's like, ooh, you smell like milk.
Starting point is 00:57:30 Dude, that's actually very... That's what white people smell like. What's his ethnicity? He is... Fuck. Oh, I think he's not Thai. Cambodian. He's got a little...
Starting point is 00:57:41 He's like Cambodian. I remember, this was years ago, my friend was dating a Korean woman, and we were all out, we were all out, and someone said, like, what's something, I don't know how it came up. What's something about whites? Basically. And she was like, you guys all smell like fucking cheese. And I was like, what? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:04 See, that's what I'm talking about. And I think for me. And I hate to go with you on that, but I do remember that very specific. For me, I'm describing it as more of a skin smell, a hot peanut smell. You know what I think it comes from? Is it milk or is it peanuts? I'll tell you exactly where it comes from. Don't point at me.
