Are your money skills total trash? Well, trust me, you are not alone. Personal finance ignorance is as American as apple pie, but you can improve. Think, Matt, if your emergency fund was invested, especially given the volatility we're experiencing right now. Ouchies. Investing is ultimately a necessity, but you've got to keep that emergency fund accessible. It needs to be cash parked in your savings. It's time to learn and How to Money is here to bring the knowledge. Listen to How to Money on the iHeart Radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Have you ever wondered if your pet is lying to you? Why is my

cat not here? And I go in and she's eating my lunch. Or if hypnotism is real? It will use a suggestion in order to enhance your cognitive controls. But what's inside a black hole? Black holes could be a consequence of the way that we understand the universe. Well, we have answers for you in the new iHeart original podcast, Signing Stuff.

Prohibition is synonymous with speakeasies, jazz, flappers, and of course, failure. I'm Ed Helms, and on season three of my podcast, Snafu,

there's a story I couldn't wait to tell you.

Welcome to this afternoon edition, Thursday, April 3rd edition of The Great Depression 2.0. Um, yeah. Uh, that's- Applause, applause. Thank you. Thank you, Caitlin. That, applause. Thank you. Thank you, Caitlin. That's why I need you here.

Look, I'm Miles G. in the place to be and I'm here with Caitlin D. also in the place to be. Caitlin Durante. Thank you for joining me. How are you? I am. Period. That's the way to say it. That's the way to say it. And you? I am as well.

I think, therefore I am. Let's just get into what's trending. Let's rip the to say it. That's the way to say it. And you? I am as well. I think, therefore I am. Let's just get into what's trending. Let's rip the Band-Aid off. Tariffs, obviously trending because this is the first day after Trump's really cool announcement on the White House lawn where he held up graphic cards that had absolutely incorrect information on it. All that's to say, we will be getting a lot deeper

into the details of the tariffs. Let's just say right now, it's doing what it's intending to do, which is to roil the markets. And we will see where we end up on the other side. It's just too early to tell. But if you like line go up on the stock market, not your day. Not your day. Bad news. Line go down. The shitty part is when line go down, even if you don't have money in line go up or down market, we are affected by line go down, even if you don't have money in line go up or down market, we are affected by line go down

because all the people who have all the money and all the capital, they're gonna do things that make our line go down probably too eventually. So be on the lookout for that. But here, for now, let's just get into some other things that are trending because obviously we all know

that we're gonna have to brace ourselves. The market doesn't affect me because rather than American dollars, I use the resources from Katan. Oh, wow. So I pay for things with ore and sheep. Yep, yep, yep. And wood. Yes, yes, fantastic.

I really recommend everyone get on a Katan-based kind of currency. Well, I mean, look, if you are a follower of Curtis Yarvin, and get on a Catan-based kind of currency. Yeah. Well, I mean, look, if you are a follower of Curtis Yarvin, who we do get into a little bit more in tomorrow's episode, he did have a plan for all the basically unproductive members of society was to hook them up to a big video game

where they thought they were living while the other people have things go. So in a way, your Catan metaphor may be apt. Armie Hammer, we haven't heard from him in a while. Is he still eating people or whatever? Look, he said in a metaphor, he's not an actual cannibal, okay? And also his grandpa is really rich, all right?

Armand Hammer, have you heard of him? That's actually, yeah, that's his grandpa, right? Or great-grandpa. Isn't his name Armand? Yeah, like have you his name, Armand? Yeah, like, have you heard of the Armand Hammer Museum that we have here? UCLA, it's a, there's, yeah. No.

Oh no, yeah, he comes from dynastic wealth. Well, I know he's from Arm and Hammer, a baking soda. That's what everyone thought, yeah. No, no relation, sadly. When your grandpa's name is Armand, like Armandand A-R-M-A-N-D, and your last name's Hammer. But anyway, he apparently, earlier this year, there was an announcement that Armie Hammer was gonna be

like doing his comeback with a new movie from what a lot of people consider the world's worst director. Obviously that is so subjective and so unfair to uwe bohl, the German auteur who just mostly his recent films are just mostly like guy shoots up entire town, the movie, hyper violence. Apparently they were going to do a movie together about a vigilante, embrace yourself, that movie was going to be called, drum roll please, it was going to be called The Dark Knight. be called, drum roll please, it was gonna be called The Dark Knight. And it's not a Batman movie, correct?

I guess not. I don't see the problem. I don't either. Why is this news? I mean, Armie Hammer is in a real life bad guy, so how could he ever be Batman? I mean, but he is like a wealthy fuck who probably I guess maybe a lot more does overlap But again turns out they had to change the movie I don't know why again because we still don't see don't see the problem

Is there something called the Dark Knight already, but not that I've ever heard of so the movie is now being called citizen vigilante And when like the trades are like hey hey, Uwe Bull, what happened? I thought it was called Dark Knight. This is what he said, quote, we had a very friendly conversation with Warner Brothers and decided to change our title to Citizen Vigilante to avoid any confusion with Warner's famous characters. It sounds like he's reciting

what the cease and desist notice was to him, that you must change the name from the dark night to avoid any confusion with Warner Brothers famous pro like, sure. It was friendly. I guess in so far as that you read the season to system, you're like, I don't want smoke with Warner Brothers. No. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, respect. He went, he, he went, he tried something. He went for it. It didn't work, but yeah, you know, he, he tried something, he went for it. It didn't work, but you know, he tried and that's what's important.

This then the executive producer, I love when people act, I love the art of pretending you just didn't take an L and just like, it was actually this, like this other stuff. The executive producer of the movie also was quoted in variety said, quote, we also got a lot of feedback from fans who asked us to change the title because of its similarity with Chris Nolan's movie. So this was another factor in changing the title. Yeah. Not, not the fucking studio that could sue you into fucking oblivion. The fans.

Citizen vigilante. It's probably, you know, he's, it's just going to be about some guy who got canceled and like murdered everyone in Hollywood or something. I don't know. That's usually how Uwe Boll's films work. I'm realizing I haven't seen a single one. I was looking up his filmography. There's like, it seems like there's a Jason Statham movie

in the name of the king. We've got Postal, we've got Blood Rain, Rain not spelled how you'd think. Rampage, yeah, I got a- Rampage, President Down. So the first Rampage movie came out in like 2008 or nine. This is the description. An ordinary young man in a small town suddenly snaps,

arming himself with machine guns and going on a relentless killing spree. Okay. Then there's 2014's Rampage Capitale punishment. Bill Williamson attempts to wreak vengeance on the rich and break Washington apart by taking control of a TV station and holding its staff hostage. Then you have 2016's Rampage President Down.

Bill Williamson returns. He returns. The character's name is Bill Williamson, which means his name is William Williamson probably, like his full name. Yeah. That's okay, just checking. Or Bill Bill, Billiams, Bill Billson.

Yeah, either one. Bill Williamson returns to bring down the president of the United States and his secret service detail. I'm like, weren't you just in the Capitol? What happened? What happened, Bill Williamson? States and his secret service detail. I'm like, weren't you just in the Capitol? What happened, Bill Billiamson? Because he's also in the first one. So I just love that he's always just getting away with it. This wacky old bill. Good on him. Yeah. Good on him. So I think I'm going to miss that one. But, you know, if that's your bag Armie Hammer do fake ass Batman, then hey, you've got something.

Speaking of media though too, the rehearsal season two trailer, the full trailer just dropped. Caitlin, I know you said you haven't seen the first season. Right. Highly recommend, but look, it's up to you. If you're not fucking with Nathan Fielder, then you're not fucking with Nathan Fielder. I mean, I was a fan of Nathan for you, so. Oh, okay.

Then you'll, it is, did you watch Nathan for you all the way to the end, like the last season? I think I did, yeah. So do you remember how the last sort of episode became like a long special where that, the Bill Gates impersonator guy was looking for his long lost love in Arkansas. And it went kind of meta.

The rehearsal just feels like a natural extension of Nathan Fielder going more and more meta with how he just sees things. And that's how you get the rehearsal. Then that has its own thing. Now we have the rehearsal too, which we watched the trailer together. I don't, it's an escalation.

We know it involves aviation safety. That's the central theme. There's a fake airport. There's fake pilots. There's people learning to pretend to be pilots. There's a fake congressional. I don't know what the fuck is going on, but I'm ready. I'll watch it. I'm here for it. Did you watch his one with Emma Stone? That show? No. Which one was that? That was called The Curse. Okay. Another one I haven't seen. I'm so bad at TV.

I see every movie that comes out, which means I will be seeing vigilante citizen times or whatever it's called. Yes, yes, citizen on the run, whatever it is. But I don't watch a lot of TV, not because I don't like it. I just have commitment issues. You don't have to explain it.

You're talking to the person who doesn't watch anything at all either, because I'm so like it. I just have commitment issues. You don't have to explain it. You're talking to the person who doesn't watch anything at all either, because I'm so overwhelmed by the sheer volume of things. There's too much. But I have a soft spot for just Nathan Fielder whenever he's doing something wacky. That show gets fucking, goes to absurd town too. The curse, okay.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back to talk about some of the other things that are trending right now. Tariff whiplash is real, folks. In rapidly changing economic policies, they affect all of us to one degree or another. Trump 1.0, so that was more tariff talk. Now we are experiencing the widespread tariff action. Totally scattershot, totally random.

The theory, Matt, I think is that we're trading short-term pain for long-term gain. That's the tariff theory, at least. But I have a hard time envisioning the long game rosy outcomes if these policy priorities kind of continue. It can be hard to know how to react to news of accelerating layoffs, increasing stock market volatility. That's why the How to Money podcast exists. We cut through the hype to give you crucial information that can help you to achieve your money goals, no matter what is going on in the world. Yeah, it's our goal to help you

make wise money choices that will allow you to build wealth over time and reduce anxiety levels so you can sleep well at night.

Listen to how to money on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Have you ever wondered if your pet is lying to you?

Why is my cat not here? And I go in and she's eating my lunch. Or if hypnotism is real. You will use this suggestion in order to enhance your cognitive control. But what's inside a black hole? Black holes could be a consequence of the way that we understand the universe. Well, we have answers for you in the new iHeart original podcast, Science Stuff.

Join me, Jorge Cham, as we tackle questions you've always wanted to know the answer to about animals, space, our brains, and our bodies. Questions like, can you survive being cryogenically frozen? This is experimental. This means never work for you. What's a quantum computer? It's not just a faster computer. It performs in a fundamentally different way.

Do you really have to wait 30 minutes after eating before you can go swimming? It's not really a safety issue. It's more of a comfort issue. We'll talk to experts, break it down, and give you easy to understand explanations to fascinating scientific questions. So give yourself permission to be a science geek and listen to Science Stuff on the iHeart Video app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. My husband cheated on me with two women!

He wants to stay together because he has cancer! Should I stay? Okay Sam, that has to be the craziest story in OK Storytime Podcast history. Well John, that's because it's dumping week and this user writes, My partner told me when we first got together that he has cancer. He's currently living with his mom while he is in recovery so that it takes the pressure off me caring for both him

and her baby until he's well enough to move into our new home with us. He's good so far. Well, last week we had attempted break-in. I asked my husband who was supposed to be at his mom's to come over and change locks, but he wouldn't. Then his mom told me he wasn't with her. I went to Facebook and it took me less than an hour

to find the first two women he was cheating on me with. Oh, what else is he lying about? Well, one thing my paranoia just wouldn't let up was about the cancer in his treatments. I asked his mom about it, who told me he doesn't have cancer. She also informed me he was in rehab, not the hospital. He suffered from addiction

and was trying to recover for me and our baby. Did she leave him? Well, to find out how the story ends, listen and follow the OK Storytime podcast on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey there, Ed Helms here, host of Snafu, your favorite podcast about history's greatest screw ups.

It's the 1920s, Prohibition is in full swing, and a lot of people are mysteriously dying? Assistant Attorney General Mabel Walker Willebrand is becoming increasingly desperate in forcing Prohibition. She was a lone warrior. I mean, how could Mabel not be feeling the pressure? Her bosses are drunks, her agents are incompetent, even Congress is full of hypocrites. So if Mabel is going to succeed in laying down the law, she needs to make the consequences

for drinking hurt a lot more. Which she does, arguably a little too well. Find out more on season 3, episode 4 of Snafu Formula 6. Listen and subscribe on the I Heart Radio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. And we are back. So RFK, he's begun like the great purge at like the FDA and CDC and things like that.

He's, we're, we're starting to see all of the cuts that are being made. I think he just got rid of the freedom of information act, like the peep, the departments that handle FOIA requests for things like the CDC. So yes, of course, transparency number one, um, in that we won't show y'all shit, so don't ask. Um, but he's now again, because RFK has a, if you Google RFK measles, he has a tremendous track record of giving people the worst advice,

which certainly leads people to early preventable deaths. And it's a tragedy. But he's repeatedly claiming that one of the best ways to battle measles is to obviously get vaccinated. Wait, wait, no, I read that wrong. Is to take vitamin A and cod liver oil as soon as you get the measles is to obviously get vaccinated. Wait, wait, no, I read that wrong. Is to take vitamin A and cod liver oil as soon as you get the measles.

That's all you gotta do. That's what we all know to be the truth. Thank you. He wrote an article in Fox News and said the supplement can quote, "'Dramatically reduce measles mortality.'" I like that that's vague because if someone does die following your boneheaded advice, you can just be like, I just said it can dramatically reduce. I never

said it's going to prevent you from dying from a disease that you need to have a vaccination to prevent death from. Just saying. Yeah, language is important. Yeah, very much here. So don't hit me with a cease and desist on that. Okay. This thing's called the dark night. But he's been saying this over and over, it's all about vitamin A, it's all about carl liver oil, these are effective treatments. Now it is true, the World Health Organization does,

it recommends low doses of vitamin A for children diagnosed with measles. But again, they say that is to specifically quote, a supplementation in case of deficiency and is not quote, intended to treat the virus. There it is. But what do they know? What do they know?

What do they know? Now in Texas, hospitals are reportedly having to treat kids who have measles and vitamin A poisoning because parents are listening. Like they took too much vitamin A? I never even thought that was a thing, took too much vitamin A. But apparently it is because they are,

people are just, this is like, I don't know, if we lived in a, I don't know, if we lived in a just world, we never have, but we wouldn't allow people to fucking put their kids at risk and poison them with vitamin A. They're saying, yeah, these kids are coming in with quote abnormal liver function. So.

How do you even get, like when you go to the grocery store or whatever and there's like the supplements section, can you even, I haven't seen in like individual bottles of vitamin A, you know, they got C, they got D, they got E, can you get vitamin A? I guess I've just been Give a single shit about vitamin A. Yeah We not vitamin A deficient y'all But yeah, I don't know I I didn't even know I

The only vitamin I ever was given as a kid was Flintstones. Yeah, which is like probably a multi Multi, it's a multi, it's a multi. It's a multi, it's a yeah. It's a chalky candy for a kid is how I looked at it and I would eat handfuls. Do you remember when Tylenol used to taste so good cause you would eat it. Oh, the kids' Tylenol, yeah. They'd chew it and it was grape.

Yeah, there was also, I think a red one too. Wasn't like a strawberry or cherry one too. I think so, I was all about the grape stuff. But even though it was like the shittiest texture, you're like, eh, it's sweet, so what am I gonna do? Beggars can't be chewed. I thought they tasted great. I thought Flintstones, Flintstones did not taste as good, but-

Those were grainy. Yeah, yeah, too rocky, I would say. Too flint, too Flint-stoney. Too stoney. Too stoney, as I might say, yes, as they did Flint stony. Two stony. Two stony as I might say, yes. As they did. Many did. Yes.

Yes. Who among us didn't break our teeth on a handful of Flintstone vitamins? But I ate so much of those that I remember my mom was like, you're gonna get sick eating just all these vitamins. And I remember that like stuck with me until someone was like, you just typically just piss out the vitamins your body can't absorb.

But that is wild. Yeah, unless it's vitamin A, and you have like fucking liver poisoning. Yeah, so great. That's what's happening on the health front. Just to kind of keep it in the world of politics. So as we reported, not we reported, what the fuck am I even saying?

As I fucking screamed about earlier this week after reading articles. That's reporting. I have to catch myself. In today's society, I should be getting a fucking Peabody Award. Okay. You know what I mean? Yeah. I do a bit of research, I guess, and I am open to new ways of thinking, but science

is pretty subtle for me. But anyway, in Wisconsin, right, Elon Musk took the huge L. He pretended like the $20 million he spent on that Supreme Court seat, it was, he actually knew he was going to lose. And so he's not actually feeling bad because it was about this voter ID law that passed in Wisconsin. And that was the thing that like, I was actually there for, and I put no money into and spent no time talking about, even though I kept sounding the alarm over the end of Western civilization if this liberal justice makes it to the Supreme Court bench in Wisconsin. Anyway, he is now, he's boosting conspiracy theories about the potentially dubious results

of that very real race that he says he cares not about. So there was like a fucking Roger Stone based lie where he basically says that the Crawford campaign, that's the woman who won, was quote, illegally financed. And so he's like on Alex Jones show saying, it's a matter of simple math, the numbers just don't add up. And they're saying what, because Musk spent 20 billion and the other campaign was like barely any, I don't know. I really don't know what they're saying.

So Musk underneath that tweet that had this video clip playing. He just replied Hmm as he does to really Stir the fucking pot. He's so pensive, you know, yeah He's he's just so full. I'm he's like Tom York, you know, he's so intriguing like what's going on with him Can he dance like him? I don't know. I don't know. Whoa, makes me think. Also, I don't know if we talked about this on the show.

I think we didn't because we were having our own internal debates about Popeye's pickle themed menu. There's like a pickle glazed sandwich and fried pickles and then a pickle lemonade. We were kind of split over here on certain things. I was like, no, I'm not a hater of pickle juice. But you, Kailin, you did say something very interesting when you heard the phrase, pickle juice lemonade.

Pickle juice lemonade. And I said, isn't that kombucha? No! Woo! We're fucking back, y'allall let them know where we at here we go Hang it in the Louvre, yeah, hang it hang that one in the Louvre Yeah, everyone Venmo me five dollars dollars right now. You're welcome. So I can buy eggs. Thank you.

We need at least $5,000 for one egg. So apparently they're like reviews are coming in. People are saying it's actually the best like thing they've launched since the chicken sandwich. That's high praise. Look, how do you feel about pickles? I like pickles. Like a dill, a sweet, any kind.

I like them all. Like in Japan, it's called tsukimono. Like there's Japanese pickled vegetables. I like pickles. I like, I like kimchi. I like fucking pickles, dill, half-sour, whatever. Okay. I'm a, see, I'm a big, I really am into the dill variety mostly, but I love a pickle on like a chicken sandwich. So it makes sense that Popeyes is doing this.

I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, dill variety mostly, but I love a pickle on like a chicken sandwich. So it makes sense that Popeyes is doing this.

I'll try the pickle lemonade. I don't care. I don't care. I, I don't even care anymore. You just go into Popeyes. Yeah. Give me the pickle lemonade. It's like, I don't even fucking care anymore. Oh, okay. Are you, what does it fucking matter? Give me the fucking pickle lemonade. I'm fucked. We're all fucked y'all. And then I like piss my pants a little bit and burst into tears.

And we, and we, it's the birth of a new phrase, ma'am, this is a Popeyes. Um, and away we went. And then to that I respond, I don't even care. I don't even fucking care. Give me the kombucha. Oh That's you. Okay. Oh my gosh I can't wait to be a new meme like the the kombucha gold Lemonade lady Brittany broski. She has a pretty funny show gotta say That usually doesn't happen with people that become memes. They actually have a bit of funny in them Anyway, so what look y'all this is our homework this week and going to a Popeyes

and being like, I don't even fucking care, man. Just give me the fucking lemon. I don't even, what the fuck is this? And then pay for it and leave before you get it. But pay for it in or, or wheat from, from Katan. Katan money. Post yourself doing it and you will get free tickets to the next SpectoCast live show or the next daily. It's like, no, I can't promise that.

Let's leave. I think it's illegal. I don't know. Elon Musk just gave people a million dollars to vote. So the fuck is legal anymore. I'm too sick with vitamin A poisoning. So I don't even know anymore. Please put that vitamin A down.

Well, thank you, Caitlin, for joining me on this trending episode. Guys, we have a fucking banger episode tomorrow. Me, Caitlin, and a very familiar face from Twitter if you're like on political Twitter, leftist Twitter. It's gonna be a fun one. And yeah, until then, be good to yourselves. Be good to each other.

Get your vaccines, listen to doctors. Don't do nothing about white supremacy or hate or fucking transphobia, none of that bullshit, do something, be a good fucking person out there, okay? It's the bare minimum we can do. All right, we'll talk to you later. Bye-bye. Bye. Are your money skills total trash? Well, trust me, you are not alone.

Personal finance ignorance is as American as apple pie, but you can improve. Think, Matt, if your emergency fund was invested, especially given the volatility we're experiencing right now. Ouchies.
