Hello, the internet, and welcome to this episode of the forbes 400 yes you make it finally i didn't i mean it's uh this is the time of year i wait for every year just to you know on the edge of my seat um yep am i a billionaire and not even i don't even look at what my actual realistic financial situation is i go are they gonna say i'm a billionaire? I don't even look at what my actual realistic financial situation is. I go, are they going to say I'm a billionaire this year? Because I'm pretty sure that's how it works. If Mark Zuckerberg lost $8 billion yesterday, what does this all mean? What is it exactly?

What is the money? I have been seeding that story with calls from an anonymous source named Taco Fryan. Taco Fryan. Taco Fryin. Taco Fryin. And yeah. Didn't work out. As Cola Scola said on Las Culturistas, my personal finances are none of my business. But I'm Jack.

And hey, you're Miles. Both not billionaires. Neither nor. Unfortunately. Or on the 400s list. The Forbes 400s. Some bullshit. But we're not alone.

Yeah. So we are exactly as on the Forbes 400 list as Donald Trump is. Yeah. He didn't make it. I bet this shit hurts his fucking greedy ass. First time in 25 years, he't make this uh billionaire's circle jerk list and i can only imagine you know he unfortunately he was one of those billionaires who didn't have a whole industry to exploit like all the other people i'm sure who leapfrogged

ahead of him uh as a result of like the last uh year and a half or so of pandemic he really fumbled the bag as the first billionaire to become the president you'd think that he would have been able to capitalize on that a real a heartless ass uh capitalistic billionaire would have been able to do something right oh yeah he would have he would have seeded some like benevolent program that ultimately like he already was cornering with an industry and he's like oh that's crazy all trump brand solar panels are being used huh all right yeah didn't denver would have would have really uh been raking it in by now if he had gotten elected in 2016 yeah i could i could also imagine him being like you didn't look at all the money that i've

great i've uh raised through contributions and donations from my followers. That's in my bank account. That should count because I use it as my own money. I mean, that's kind of true. Did they not count? Who's his grift cash? Yeah, the grift. He's like, where's my grift cash?

I'm in there, baby. I mean, if Forbes was a well-run editorial institution, they would have a list of like the most successful grifters, like Guest edited by Lacey Mosley and just, you know, the biggest hauls this year and just shameless ripping off of others. Anyways, Forbes, this is what i'm gonna say forbes step your game up donald trump needs to be on there come on uh leave the poor man alone on on forbes they said his refusal to divest essentially cost him two billion dollars oh wow from his own yeah because probably because his brand became so toxic i don't even know i mean his name's still

attached whatever who gives a shit tax these people until their eyes bleed yes this should be the forbes list of 400 people who should have 98 of their money taken away from them and they would still have generational wealth let's talk about generational and talk about pao gasol pao gasol you know generational spanish basketball talent his parents wanted him to be a doctor he thought he was gonna be a doctor and then he was like he woke up one day and he was fucking sick at basketball nine feet tall a little soft little soft in the post sometimes sometimes because he's had big games and i don't always agree with that the description of him soft on the post but also a soft touch around the soft touch and great those hands the way he would dish the ball we were

playing so the lakers are playing so different when pal gasol came in that first season like you're like oh this guy passes the ball like how Spaniards pass the football, like tiki-taka. Well, you got it. I'm shifting it immediately. No time spent. I'm keeping the ball moving, baby. Pau, love you, baby.

Thank you for your service. Anyways, Urban Meyer is trending. I'm not totally sure why this story has taken on the life that it has the one with him like just daggering that woman in the club that's what we call it in the islands he's daggering just that kind of dancing where you are grinding yeah i guess that's that is what is going on it is like pretty embarrassing uh i know he was a very successful college coach who retired to spend more time with his family and then immediately

would like take another job and then would retire to spend more time with his family i'm wondering if it was just a thing where people like kind of always sensed he was full of shit on the family thing. And then this is like the first chance that they got to kind of pile on, but it's really, people are really the, the story is a big deal to the, to the point that, you know,

like I, I feel like Sean, what's the, what's the coach for the saints. It was like beloved? Sean Payton. Sean Payton. He's like been out partying, caught out partying, but I guess he like didn't, you know, sell

himself necessarily as a family man or, you know, I'm not totally sure why, but the Urban Meyers thing, he had to like apologize to his team. And then the team owner was like not good enough and then like right you know steven a smith was like this guy's a joke you know he's he's owing for the beginning of the season he i think people really like to see a um cocky college coach come into the pro level and just get fucking rolled and i think that's what's happening and people sense blood in the water but this is not to defend him or say it's not a great uh a great video it's just interesting what what people choose to fixate on yeah i just don't care i was more offended by how bad the dancing was yeah i mean it was it looks like a dog like humping taking a shit

or you know how like dogs arch their back when they take a dump it's like that's what his back torso hip situation is is very wow someone nfl memes tweeted it said urban meyer continues to make terrible decisions when it comes to tight ends and it's aaron hernandez tim tebow then that woman that he's like okay oh okay okay and it's funny because he did an apology based on that first video where he is like and you know i was just sitting there and people were dancing up on me which is like that's clearly not what's happening there um right and but then there's like another video where he's like groping that same patron it would appear um so now you know we gotta we gotta do the rounds again urban gotta apologize to the fam the team but it is

wild that the the owner was i i feel like his job might be uh on shaky footing because the owner immediately came out was like this is a disgrace right i feel like in other circumstances you'd be like it's a nothing burger uh we're just focused on the game i mean which is funny because like there are like sex offenders who play in the league still yeah you know and then you're like this man grinding and groping like but you're gonna keep these other people in the game this what a complicated game it is yeah i think people just don't like urban meyer uh let's take a quick break and we'll be right back. In 1982, Atari players had one thing on their minds, Sword Quest. This wasn't just a new game. Atari promised 150 grand in prizes to four finalists,

but the prizes disappeared. And what started as a video game promotion became one of the most controversial moments in 80s pop culture. I just don't believe they exist. I mean, my reaction, shock and awe. That sword was amazing. It was so beautiful. I'm Jamie Loftus. Join me this spring for The Legend of Sword Quest, a podcast about the fall of Atari and the disappearing Sword Quest prizes. We'll

follow the quest for lost treasure across four decades. It's almost like a metaphor for the industry and Atari itself in a way. Listen to The Legend of Sword Quest on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago, when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today.

And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current. Available now with new episodes every Thursday.

Bub Dylan. Yeah. Why is it House of Balloons there? You know, that's what I'm asking. Number one. Number one, House of Balloons. Number two, The Morning. Number three, just give me the track listing of the first one.

Of the songs from our lifetime that made the top 500, just going back from number one, you've got your Missy Elliott, Get Your Freak On at number eight. You've got your Hey Ya at number 10 even though i feel like that song is more famous for being like just played to death at this point than it is um famous yeah although that's so great that's so good yeah so beyonce crazy in love at number 16 purple rain which is not from your lifetime but it is from my lifetime a number something uh robin dancing on my own i i like that give robin a little love i think it's quite literally just within my

lifetime you 84 yeah yeah there you go so i was there bro i was there prince and the fucking revolution drop purple rain on our asses They were talking about your birth That was the inspiration Yeah the doctors were concerned about the amniotic fluid Kanye At number 25 with Run Away So alright

I don't hate that That's probably not my favorite Kanye song But it's uh Yeah whatever I don't know These lists are really I get it It's probably not my favorite Kanye song, but it's... Yeah, whatever. I don't know. It's like, these lists are really... I don't... Like, I get it, but I've ceased to be outraged by them

because I'm like, it's not... I'm working on it in therapy to not be outraged by them. And then Pitchfork released a list of 19 albums that they said they got wrong the first time around which oh wow for pitchfork heads uh oh like where they're really going like we really low-balled these people either or they uh gave some low balls and some you know we we gave this one too much credit um including oxygen they really they took a they took a hammering and so did grimes so the big boys first solo album uh oh sir lucius left with the son of chico dusty i mean they

really they gave that like a super duper one of their yeah well because that's how that's why i like pitchfork you got to take their shit with a grain of salt because they get so hopped up on like whatever i don't know like some it just doesn't feel they have i haven't trusted their rating since 2004 right uh the onion had a good headline uh pitchfork gives music a 6.8 um just generally right um but anyways they they uh you know seem to be giving lana del rey her flowers a little bit in this uh i know you were you were saying the other day like will people forget about lana del rey yeah and they dropped some daft punk albums and raised some other da deaf punk albums up so yeah you know they they get it they get it hey man it's

also like like who gives a fuck no one gave a shit like though this is just for you pitchfork i don't think i don't like or the outraged fans who maybe like incessantly blow up your inbox has been like you really gotta think about random access memories again you really should you really gotta think about random access memories again you really should it just sort of reminds me of like the fucking the vatican being like hey man we got the holocaust wrong you know i'm like y'all not this this is not that consequential we're like i'm looking out for this so but again very self-important i'm sorry go. This is what it reminds me of. All right. And you got us. I'm sorry.

What? We weren't talking to you. You got us. We did get the Holocaust wrong. We haven't talked about that in 20 years, man. What are you talking about? We assumed. I'm just saying we got it wrong.

Should have got that one right. We didn't. New Scream is trending because there's a new Scream coming out, baby. People are waiting for that trailer. They say people are speculating that we will see the, like, I guess it will essentially be Scream 5 or the fifth Scream film will be coming out in about a week. About a week from today. Oh, their trailer will.

Got it. Do we know who the cast is? Is it going to be... Bruh, this is the one. Nev Campbell, Courtney Cox, David Arquette. You know? Nev Campbell is coming back to play Sidney.

So it's a bit of a moment for us elders. That was date night material bro go to go to a scream scream oh yeah scream 2 was pretty good and then it's been diminishing returns oh yeah so i'm i don't know and then plus you got west craven uh no longer being with us on this mortal plane. So, you know, we shall see mortal plane game. All right.

And Michigan is trending. Yep. Uh, I don't know why I just have your notes here that says Michigan Biden is selling his infrastructure plan. He's got to, he's got to, he's just, he,

look, this whole infrastructure, bipartisan infrastructure, the reconciliation bill, it's become such a fucking nightmare where biden is like just only reason like oh right that's my whole agenda i might need to put a lot of weight behind this to try and get that through since that's why i'm in office now so he's visiting michigan doing a lot of stuff like come on folks are infrastructure used to be the best in the world now it looks like a spooky old theme park that no one's been doing 25 years that's what our roads look like folks took our foot off the gas huh and i didn't really think it's a spooky theme park did he no no that's a great line though you should write you should

write for joe biden yeah that would be like a spooky theme park america just like leaned into his uh his character yeah just his colloquialisms or whatever he would say but yeah i mean at this point it's just one of these things where everything in the bills are so wildly popular but you just have all these corporate democrats who are like i don't know man this seems risky they're like risky to fix the roads that won't cause accidents or give people pre-k child care or extending the child tax credit what are you fucking saying here and i think that's part of it is to get in front of people to be like gesture to all the things that like could happen to maybe put a little bit pressure on the representatives say hey look they fuck with it yeah they get in line and the republicans are just like too disciplined or like too kind of locked into mitch mcconnell's like game plan to

ever break free and like back something that's this popular no of course not i mean like the whole thing like there's no that's why anything because they'll never actually advocate for a policy that helps people that are and the only people that will be helped are like the business owned owned like like, you know, business-owning class, the landed gentry, the hyper-wealthy. That's where a lot of the benefits that anyone sees come from a Republican bill or, you know, set of, or like their platform. Everything's about taking as much shit away from people as possible. Even though it is wildly popular, that's just still, they're like, no, we don't. And I think that's the other interesting thing is that the child tax credit is really popular with people. Like it's saving a lot

of families to have that little bit of money from that. And that's why there's like a bit of a guessing game where it's like, do you, do people really want to come out and be like, you're against this thing that anyone with a child who's benefiting from it is gonna be like yeah yeah yeah man get rid of that right um so yeah that's a it's an all-out pressure campaign it's interesting to see where it goes joe mansion now is like i'll go to 1.9 trillion dollars maybe 2.2 and i think progressives and like other people who really want this other build on the reconciliation bill they're like okay well then let's go on a list and then you say what you want to get rid of out loud for people right because every single thing is popular and every single thing if you told someone who has a vested interest in bettering their lives he's like i see a benefit to that we probably shouldn't do that so you know, let the let the theatrics begin.

All right. Well, those are the things that are trending. We are back tomorrow with a whole last episode of the show. Until then, be kind to each other. Be kind to yourself. Get the vaccine. Don't do nothing about white supremacy. And we will talk to you all tomorrow. Bye. Bye. more. Bye. Bye. What happens when a professional football player's career ends and the applause fades and the screaming fans move on?
