Let's I'm glad I've already derailed this podcast by mentioning Ska music. Let's talk about that. No, I'm not derailing. We all have a guest. Man, it's so embarrassing how much freshman year of high school was like, so this is how

you skank. That's right. And I was like, oh yeah, we're going to do that at the homecoming dance. Now we're all really into Ska and skanking. And I'd like to say that was my most embarrassing period of my high school years, but then I got into jam bands. So you can always go down. Oh, that's so much worse.

It's so much worse. That's unfathomably worse. Yeah. I'm sorry to say that. Were you fucking with Goldfinger and shit? No. I was. No, I don't know.

Absolutely. Yeah, yeah. Tony Hatch, pro-skater soundtrack. Let's go. I was there. I was there. Because look, I played trumpet in band. OK?

And then at the time, especially when I was in I know where this is headed. around eighth grade Aquabats was popping off and I was like, yo, bro, get me in there and I'm good at horn. I can hit all these horn lines. Next thing you know, I'm in a band called the Lip Tones because we like Lipton ice tea. So that's so incredibly good. Yeah, yeah. We we did. We almost went to battle the bands at Crespi High School in the San Fernando Valley, but we didn't go to Crespi

We go to the soda name all day, baby And with that we'd like to ask another real quick another hip-hop question what? Yes another hip-hop question and ass mole now Is that like a blemish or is that like a rodent that lives in me? This is this is called the Blake Wexler rap quiz and I like the ass mole is not a rap lyric But I like that. It does feel like maybe something that would have been Wu Tang. What do you think an ass mole is? I would love if it was a well actually a rodent would almost be like leave the rodent alone It's just trying to find some place. Yeah, you know, so I think it's I think it's a blumish. Yeah, I think he's a blumish

He's a blumish on an ass. Well, but he's a he's a blemish. Yeah, I think he is a blemish. He's a blemish on an ass. But he's a fuck boy. I mean, not to get super deep into the ass mole thing, but when we say rodent, are we saying that this is a rodent, like a gerbil who maybe lives in an ass? Or are we saying it's a literal mole who is shaped like an ass? Oh. That's very interesting. Oh, is's very interesting.

Right. What's it embedded? What's the mole? Like we have a mole in our Oh, I didn't even think about that. I was thinking that word to me, the rap term snitch for me, really? I thought we were talking about that. I don't know.

No, I only know that because the snitch in Harry Potter, bro, I'm a big law enforcement guy. So that's how I know snitch. Why? How do you use it? I call them. He's on the snitch waiting list.

Yeah. He's like, just waiting for something to go down. He's like, call me please. That is, I did some wild ass care and she'd be like, you know, I'm actually on a snitch waiting list for the police. I've been waiting. Yeah. It's like, it's like, yeah.

What is like the, the nest, like the home, like those home networks where they're like, you know, on their reporting, like just on there, just waiting for some shit to go down. He's like, I'm number three on the snitch list. I keep getting skipped. Come on. Hell yeah. Dave over there in the blue house has an ass mole. No one's asked. No one asked him and no one asked what it means. Is it a mole that look like an ass? Is it a mole on his ass? Is a mole that buries inside someone's ass?

Is it a mole that look like ass? It could be anything. And that's why we use obscure insults on this show before they get dragged up in some kind of a content net where they start throwing people in jail for calling people ass moles. Anyway, Lidia Popovich, what's something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? Oh, gosh.

I'm going to be real, real vulnerable here. And I'm going to be honest. And it's quite literally Bad Bunny, CK ads. I think about it a lot. I didn't know that I was attracted to Bad Bunny in that way until I saw him naked on a big billboard and then things started happening. And so, you know, a couple of times a week, I'm just, just, let's see what those look like.

Am I still checking in? Am I still attracted to Bad Bunny? And evidently I am. I get it. I think he should, whatever he ate, like, he's thickened up a bit. I like it, he's not overly muscular. His hair is back and showing those curls again. Yeah.

I like the mustache. I like the mischievous look in his eye. It's really doing it for me. Yeah, I can't hear it in your voice, Lydia. No, no, I'm telling you. Because I'm replaying it in my head right now. I mean, I'm looking at it, I'm like, Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, I look like that. Except without the hair. But I know his tattoo game is wild. But he got it like

it's a random ass horse on his chest. Okay, honestly, that's how much I'm not even looking at the tattoos. I'm like, who cares what he has tattoos where I'm no one showed me though. I'm always just like, it's always interesting to me, like when people really cover themselves in tattoos, like what that vibe is like, because it's, it's funny because you can start, you're like, oh, that's cool. And then you start looking closer and like, what the fuck is that? Oh, I know.

I love looking at shitty tattoos on people when like they have good work and then you're like, he got a rainbow with clouds above his navel button. Like it's like the opposite of Tupac's Thug Life tattoo he had over his belly button. It's like this rainbow. He's like Care Bear Stare. Yeah. Yeah. Let's go.

Oh, Benito. Yeah. But yeah, no, I'm a, yeah. Just, you know. You're back. Over here thinking about bad money. What are you just hitting at random? Like you wake up in a cold sweat and you're like,

Benito, the CK hat. Kind of, yeah. And I also live in a state where like you can't look at Pornhub anymore, or anywhere of like the big reputable porn sites. Like a big car just comes up and says, hey, we can't verify your age. So you can't look at this stuff anymore.

So like, I'm back to old school. You can use a VPN? I mean, sure I could, but that seems like a lot to go through porn. I'll just bad, like, I'll just Google bad money and think about it for a few minutes. Yeah, you're like, turn on the TV. I'm good.

I'm easy. Like 30 seconds. I'm so good. Yeah, I can get it into a Google search. I'm good. Yeah, I'm going. Good. I'm going all the way back to old school. Like I found a fucking JCPenney's catalog under the lady in bras. Like I'm trying to get back to like some wholesome, wholesome masturbation material. I just want to see a dude in his underwear.

Just get this kid Ryan at my school got he got he was on his way to getting thrown out one of the straws that broke the camel's back as he brought in a shredded up newspaper ad with with bikini ladies like underwear ladies. And this was so I mean, this was this was 1991. Okay. And so he was like, like, bring it out of his pocket. Like look what I brought brought from home. And we're like, oh, and this Lutheran school I went to, they snatched that shit up. Like he was trying to just slavery or something. The civil war. I remember a dude showing up with like a Frederick's of Hollywood catalogs that like accidentally got delivered to their house. And it's like, no, accidentally what your mom's a hoe. She has, she is turning tricks for your dad.

Be happy. You have to live in a happy home. Yeah. Mom's trying to tell you, I don't know how this got here. You know how it got there, Karen. You ordered that teal set. Come on. The crack. Was there so much porn in the woods? You know, because I feel like you couldn't go into the woods without stumbling on porn. And it's just like, like, so okay,

porn in the woods, you look at it and then you put it, like, hide it in the woods. Is it a good hiding spot? Honestly, I've always wondered that myself. That's a question I've had for men for at least 29 years. I think it was like, yeah, it's like, well, cause like, it was the same thing. Like here would be the LA river, like certain parts, like the Tunga, Washington Valley, we will hide shit in the overpasses and be like, yo bro, there's weed over there. There's a fucking porn magazine over there. Cause we didn't have woods out here in California or in Atlanta.

We don't have a river either really. No, you do have a cement block area. You would still, anytime you did like you go on a hike, you go anywhere. Like there are some hills, some woodhills, some, you know, I grew up in San Jose and like you'd stumble across that shit in the trusses. I feel like maybe that's like the underground railroad for like men where they're like, you got to leave things behind for the next visit. Oh, they're on their journey of masculinity. So they may look at the same crusty ass porno

in the woods with four other fucking adolescent kids or some shit. What is this? What is the saying? Like I'm not a super outdoorsy person, but there's some like phrase about like, leave it has better than you left it or something like that. Like, oh yeah, better way to do that than with magazine pornography. I would agree. It's at a setting like fast rate. Let me just talk this old jugs right here. Yeah.

And this burrowed willow tree. Exhausted traveler. Something to energize you. Prop, what's something you think is underrated? Got a shout out on these. I mean they enhance most things. Yeah. Probably, there's gonna be a weird one, but the dentist. Okay.

I tune out when Miles talks. Is that too now? I? That's underrated. I tune out when Miles talks. Right under, yeah. Is that too now? I think it's underrated. Okay, motherfucker. Yeah. I had this moment where I was like, I think you'd be scared if you had a bad dentist or because you're still regressing to your childhood.

But then I thought to myself, I'm just laying here. It's almost like a massage, like a spa. It's a massage for my mouth. I'm laying here and two professionals are leaning over me, cleaning shit I ate out of my mouth for me. And I was like, this is kind of like, and then if I get pain, I get to say, hey, that hurt a little.

And then they get to just, I was like, this is kind of like a luxury. Since it's, since obviously it's not like, I clearly, when I think of like, people will be like, what era, what other era of time in history would you want to live in? I'm like, none of them. Because of dentistry and medicine.

I'm like, ain't no way in the world I want to live in any other time. You telling me my tooth was like rotten, you just grabbed some vice grips? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you just pull it out? Yeah, because the thing is, your tooth has turned black due to Satan,

and now evil is getting into your skull. And we will have to remove it. You're like, what the fuck? You just gonna pull it? You mean to tell me if I get a little cut on my arm. And cut the whole thing off. You just cut the arm off? Yeah.

And I'm not, you drink this whiskey and bite this piece of wood. And I'm gonna saw your arm off now. So they're like, hey, weren't you just looking through a pile of horse shit behind the saloon right now? Yeah, I thought I lost my wedding ring anyway. I'm ready to do surgery. I don't have to wash my hands or anything. Yeah, totally. I was like, why would I horse shit behind the saloon right now. Yeah. I thought I lost my wedding ring. Anyway, I'm ready to do surgery. I don't have to wash my hands or anything.

Totally. I was like, why would I? Yeah. Why would I? This already has blood on it. Why would I dirty another one? I already have open sores all over my body. Why are you asking me about this one sore?

Yeah. Like you don't see this one coming down my eye right here. It's not going to mess you up if my sore touches your open wound while I'm doing surgery, if anything, I should worry about me getting my sword all on your blood. I have sword. I got sword cleaning juice coming out of my sword so it could actually help you. Yeah, nah, I don't want to live nowhere else. So I'm saying that as somebody who's like the dentistry, even the sound of that drill,

that it's not even as loud anymore. I'm like, this is great. But a silencer. Yeah, silencer audit. They're like, yeah, just over the years. I remember first in the eighties, like the, cause there was always some form of entertainment, the eighties is here, hold this cassette player and put these headphones on. Yeah.

I was like the first version of I'm at the dentist and I'm listening to like MC Hammer or some shit on a tape. Then TVs came in and then TVs above the seat so when you're laying down, you can see it. You can see that shit. Now, like it's funny, last time I went in, they're like, do you wanna watch it? I'm like, nah. I kinda like hearing y'all talk about like whatever,

cause then it's funny, they have conversations while they're doing stuff and like, yeah, just talking and I'm like, this is cool. Yeah, I feel like like hearing y'all talk about like whatever, because then it's funny, they have conversations while they're doing stuff. And like, yeah, I'm like, this is cool. Yeah. I feel like I'm getting people are in there for you a lot because they got me hooked up to machines. Oh, yeah. Yeah. My teeth are off.

You have a whole team. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, it's me and this little homie that like, so speaking of Filipino, this Filipino lady who like, we always like, I always her back and forth through just talking Filipino stuff and then this little homie that really like is almost like like a like a Schneidly kind of like yes, whatever you need like he's so like quick and cute like he just wants to help

Yeah, whenever he she's drilling he stick the thing in their mouth to suck up the water He's like Johnny on the spot. Yeah, just Johnny on the spot. Just like suck all the spit there. And I'm like, Oh, thank you. And then I'm like, you are. Your job is to suck up my spit. Yeah. This is a luxury. This is looking about this all wrong. And people talking. Look, I know, America and Canada are in a beef, you know, obviously, the beef is one sided in that it's one person with the beef, not us with Canada, but you know, famously they say up there, it's like, we have, yeah,

we got socialized medicine, but no dental, no mental, you know what I mean? And because it's a luxury, baby. It's a luxury. It's a luxury. It's a luxury to have teeth that affect your whole body. You know, you don't realize how much that shit's connected. It's how you eat. Yeah.

Yeah. It keeps you eat. The thing that keeps you alive. It is bizarre that like your, that dentists, your dental coverage is separate from your health coverage. It's still weird. They're like, my mouth ain't a part of my body. Like what? And same thing with vision.

Yeah. And your eyes. Yeah. They're like, I don't know. Having problems with my eyes can lead to other problems if I'm not aware of my okay Walking a whole break. Yeah, you have health care. Yeah, you have health care, but we don't cover pinky fingers Yeah, you got to get a whole other doctor for your pink. Oh, yeah. We only do we only do neck down doctor stuff Neck up. Yeah, I don't even know who does that kind of shit to be honest

You might have to look on the internet for that But the one thing I do like about the dentist is and I think the reason why I like weighted blankets was that lead Vest they put on you and you got a dental x-ray. Yeah That's when I put the when I put the weighted blanket on I flash back and I'm like This is my favorite part of the dentist for some reason even though like man We have to get x-ray because I think you got cavities little kid and I'm like just put the big-ass mat on me And I'm like, yeah Perfectly perfectly safe they put lead on you and then run out of the office next door while I hit this button yeah and looking

yeah okay send like one of those bomb dismantling robots eight years old this kid got a man this would be fine this will be fine. This will be fine. Yeah, you're great. Hey kid, you're gonna need a really good neck up doctor after this, just so you know. Alison, what's something you think is overrated? Okay, so as a dating coach, I think, a relationship coach, I never referred to myself as a dating coach before. I have a feeling you probably make more money

on the internet if you say you're a dating coach though. Have you thought about being an alpha male influencer? I've thought myself as a dating coach before. I have a feeling you probably make more money on the internet if you say you're a dating coach though. Have you thought about being an alpha male influencer? I've tried it. It didn't work out. I can't do enough pushups. Wow. So I think something that's overrated is chatting on an app

for a long time before meeting in person. You gotta meet in person. You gotta meet on, or even like a FaceTime, you gotta get it off of texting quicker than people are doing it. What's, I mean, logically I get it, but I've been out of the dating game for, what is it, 2025, 11 years now.

But I'm also assuming it's the same thing, where it's like, some people are so different over text text and then you meet them, like not even in a dating context, like even from working, like with people in production and then you meet them and they're like so different than the way they text and you're like, am I, do they hate me or am I not as funny as I was on text? Yeah, definitely got to meet people. Sometimes, especially when I was messaging men, I'd be like, this conversation is so funny and so good. Oh my God, it's going to be great.

And then I looked back after meeting them and I was like, wait, I was funny. I was laughing at myself. They were just being generous with their life. They were like, uh-huh, cool. And I was making all these bits by myself. I also think it just adds to the gamification of online dating, where people don't take it seriously because they're just talking to a bunch of different people.

And then people are like, I don't get why it's not working. Right. Because it feels, I mean, I have like one of my younger cousins who's like in his like early 30s, the way they talk about dating too just feels like they're truly just playing like a numbers game. Yeah. I'm just like, and it's not their fault because like the apps are designed that way. Right. Right. Yeah. You have to like fight against the interface. Right. Because then I'm like, but isn't the whole point like dating is just sort of like, I should I got it like pre app, you know, when I were younger, you would go and then like, you just go on a bunch of dates and meet people and you're like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sometimes you try and make it work. I guess, I guess because of the volume of interactions you're trying to have, you're not trying to get hung up on one thing, but I feel for y'all.

I feel for y'all out there. I feel for y'all out there. You know, I, I did, I did take this advice. Um, I started swiping with intention, like any red flags, I swiped left immediately. And then I initiated the conversation whenever we matched and I made sure to respond right away and then tried to meet in person.

And that's how I got the boyfriend that I got from like a dating app. Like the one time it was like the second person I swiped on and we met up and it like worked out at that time Yes, I like to call it dating productively Yeah, because then you don't burn yourself out because you're having like less but more like quality interactions That's how you get maximum gains in your relationship While you're working on your push-ups, yeah

You'll be doing one art one arm push ups, fucking right swiping bro. Swipe. You sick as fuck dude. Wait dude, you will not be alone. I'm there with you every step of the way. All right. Speaking of, have you heard of this bitcoi? No, I'm kidding.

Okay. Speaking of. All right. Let's take a quick break. We're going to come back and talk about just everything that's happening. But also we'll also check in with some, some right-wing men who I think are doing. Okay. I think everyone's doing okay We'll do that in a second after this Do you remember what you said the first night I came over here

Presented by Capital One, founding partner of iHeart Women's Sports. And we are back. So over the weekend, RFK did this thing that we've seen happen already this year where he will act like vaccine, like he has a come to Jesus moment and he's like, actually, vaccines are the only way to really keep our children safe. And then like once that tweet cooks, he then turns around. He's like, psych, take God's liver oil and vitamin A, my guys, I'm still with you. I

just have to say shit so I don't look like I'm trying to kill children. And he has done the exact fucking same thing this last weekend. On Sunday, he attended the funeral of an eight year old child that succumbed to a measles infection and use that anecdote to try and launder his reputation as a backwards anti vaxxer saying he was there to comfort the family and was actively taking on this outbreak. This part of the tweet was very interesting to read coming from RFK quote, the most effective way to prevent the spread of measles is the MMR vaccine. And then he also said that he was talking to governor Abbott about redeploying CDC teams to help with the outbreak. You're like, whoa, the CDC that you're gutting?

Oh, what was this? Obviously the replies- One guy. Yeah, the replies under this tweet were unhinged. One person said, your posts got cut off. The MMR is also one of the most effective ways to cause autism as witnessed by millions of parents worldwide and covered by the CDC's fraudulent study

at the heart of this documentary. Then links up to a documentary called Vaxxed from cover-up to catastrophe. Del Bigtree is a sort of notorious anti-vaxxer. Yeah, I was kind of feeling like, fuck that guy. But yes, very, again, the heavyweights have come out. as a sort of notorious anti-vaxxer. Yeah, I was kind of feeling like, fuck that guy. But yes, very, again, the heavyweights have come out. Then another fan comes out, quote,

fucking real normal, I think what you meant to say is that doctors in Texas are murdering children with erroneous hospital protocols in order to keep their trillion dollar vaccine grift going, and that you have asked the DOJ to arrest these doctors and charge them with crimes against humanity. Sure. Huh? They're normal.

No, he, where did, when did he ever say that? Okay, sure, sure. Again, I think also this is probably very normal for an RFK tweet that you inspire these kinds of just reactions just in any capacity. And while that may have been celebrated on parts of the internet, as if RFK saw the light, because you did see some headlines that were like, RFK now says MMR vaccine is the way to prevent measles infection.

He in fact did not just a few hours after that tweet, he posted how he was visiting men and night families with children that had also been infected with measles. And then he praised two healers. He said, quote, I also, he's like on top of those families, quote, I also visited with these two extraordinary healers, Dr. Richard Bartlett and Dr. Ben Edwards, who have treated and healed some 300 measles stricken Mennonite children using aerosolized,

Budesonide and clarithromycin. Oh, love a clarithromycin. I love a clarinet with mice in it, you know what I mean? And both of these guys, again, frauds and deal in anti-vax nonsense and giving people their own homebrew meds. Dr. Bartlett specifically was described as quote, having a history of using unconventional treatments and who was disciplined for unusual use of risk-filled medications by the Texas Medical Board in 2023. So a very predictable kind of thing.

You gotta be a massive piece of shit to go to someone's funeral for their eight year old and then be hawking this stuff. But the problem is, I mean, they're preying on the Mennonite community and anti-vaxxers have preyed on all kinds of sort of, you know, religious folks and anyone who's like already predisposed to buying into cults, which I would argue, you know, yeah, Mennonites are, they're all, they only speak German.

I mean, I, I, and, you know, uh, RFK Jr.'s Children's Defense, Health Defense Fund or whatever has its own TV channel. They straight up went and interviewed the first parent who's, I believe, six-year-old died. And they were like, we just don't believe in un vaccine, whatever it was. They were like, no, we would do it all over again. We believe RFK Junior, you know, and it's too bad, but this is God's will. And you're just like, it's, I mean, I hate to be the one or like people who are like child abuse, but it's child abuse.

I'm sorry, like that is not the child's decision. Yeah, especially when you put it through the perspective of anyone who has their own child and you're like, well, what are the options? Give them a thing the doctors are saying will save their life or give it up to sky ghost and hope that everything works out. I'm going sky ghost every time, you know, sky ghost currently bad record for that. True. Yeah. RFK is really weird though, because like, like he's a Kennedy, right?

So he doesn't, like, he doesn't have the usual profile of an anti-vaxxer where like they're clearly at a certain level just lying to make money. He's a true believer. Yeah, yeah. Your normal anti-vaxxer you're going to see on Facebook, if you watch enough of their videos, you can kind of tell they know that this is a pyramid scheme and they want you to buy supplements or some bullshit. But he is genuinely ideological about this in a way that is, I think, a lot more dangerous, especially because now he's extremely powerful. Yeah.

Oh, 100%. But he is, he's super handsome. So it's fine for me personally. I think he's got big shoulders. He's got huge shoulders. Big shoulders. No, but like people like, I mean, he, he, he also, okay, this is the thing I can't really tell about like any of the guys in Trump world like RFK right now is like,

how much do they care about being popular? It's a really weird moment, unlike Trump 1, where they kind of still care about the economy, about getting voted into power again, the normal levers of democracy. But now, I have no idea if RFK actually cares if he causes a measles outbreak. No, it's like each of them are their own little zealots and they're like riding this till the wheels come off. And first of all, I dispute that he's hot. He seems like an orange.

No, I agree, yes, you're great. I mean, if you like an orange gummy bear that's been left out in the sun, that's like the sort of like, eh. He's like. He looks like a melted action bear. No, his skin looked like turkey jerky. Yeah. And he looks like he's always telling you the last thing he's going to ever tell you.

And you're like, he looks like he's I mean, I've never met him. But I bet he looks like he just smells crazy. Like, like, like, like, he's just got crazy. Old man. No, but you know what it is. He has crazy old man smell. But Cheryl Hines like sprays him with a ton of cologne before he goes out the door because he doesn't listen to her and she's like, okay, at least that'll kind of cover up the dead fucking whale head.

The cod. Right. That's what I'm saying. Like to your point. Yeah. He doesn't give a fuck about it. This guy's fucking chopping off whale heads to take home and playing a Heidi bear with like a dead bear cub and like setting it up in Central Park.

This guy is like on, he's got his own fucking shit going that I don't know how you get through to him. And to that same thing, he he kind of understands optics well enough because he comes from like a political background where he's like, Okay, I'll do this thing all glad hand with grieving families and then just kind of give some give a headline that maybe people won't look right into what I say directly after that, where I show, that was all fucking fake. And I just said that to say it because I'm a sociopath. But yeah. I mean, he's yeah, he's like doing the whole like, you know, experiments that you know,

he did when he was eight years old on, you know, feeding whatever animal to his Falcon, like it's just that on a greater scale. R.F. K. Jr. is probably the most single, singly most terrifying person in the administration I hold. It'd be one thing if he were going after Big Pharma, like he says he hates, but they're not doing fuck all about Big Pharma.

If you were normal, if you were like, okay, I understand my anti-vax positions are not popular, but my anti-pharma stuff is my anti-big pharma, you would lead with that. You know what I mean? Right. And try to- Right. This is my problem with him too. Right. There's no point there to what he's doing.

No, no, no. It's like everything in this administration. It's like, we just need one thing to kind of point to a problem people kind of agree on, and then I'll do nothing that is actually consistent with that. I'm just sort of using, I'm evoking that, that sense of outrage and then be like, and that's why I got to do this other backward stuff, right? We got a vaccine. I don't know. But yeah, this is, uh, you know, we'll continue to see what's going on with this, but yeah, that, that measles outbreak doesn't seem like it's letting up at the moment.

Let's keep talking about the economy, guys. Mostly because I think this is, I don't know, this is, it's starting to, I'm seeing, I see headlines, there's headlines every week that's like, oh, oh, it's starting to crack. we were getting a little wobbly last week with the GOP and everybody sort of staying in line and being like insisting that everything is fine. This administration does just fine. These tariffs will be fine. Then the markets took an absolute dump and we're getting sort of various versions of dissent coming out. So right now, a lot of like the big billionaires, hedge fund investors, the people who like people, the hyper wealthy that were backing Trump are now awkwardly kind of doing a tweet. That's kind of like, I mean, I don't know what he thinks is going to happen, but we're about to fuck everything up if we go forward with these tariffs without totally losing it on Trump. Like Bill Ackman, Jamie Dimon, Howard Marks from Oak Tree Capital.

That list goes on and on and on where people are doing a version of not attacking Trump, but being like, this will end poorly. It's ending. It's already seeing it, but they won't go full bore and say like, get this fucking guy out of here. This is a disaster. Although it seems like they say that privately. Elon Musk has lost around $30 billion since liberation day, which brings his total losses for this calendar year to around 130 billion. Mark Zuckerberg lost 28 billion since Liberation Day. Jeff Bezos lost around 23 billion. Warren Buffett is the outlier here. He lost about two and a half billion last week. But that puts him up over 12 billion this year. Because I think he's one of the few billionaires that just noped his way out of shares, like things like Apple and Bank of America and

Citigroup. And he's like, what is this fucking guy going to do? Oh yeah. I don't, I'm, this is not going to help anyone. So things aren't great for the people that were so willing to bend over backwards for Trump in the name of, you know, increased inequality. Musk is now basically telling the Europeans that he wants zero tariffs. That's what he's now coming to them with. With Europe though.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. With Europe specifically, because this was him sort of addressing a European audience, and I think he was also looking at how Tesla is just useless. But I also think it's part of the plan though, which is like you put up the tariffs and then you basically make them like bend the knee to get rid of them. Right. Of course. Of course. That's the whole thing. Like where people always talk about Trump, one of the best and not the best negotiating strategies, but a negotiating strategy is make people think like you will blow the earth up to get your way. Some people go, damn, we don't want to blow the earth up. We might as well do what it is. He's like, I'm secretly, I'm not going to do it, but hopefully they will come to me.

But here's Elon Musk again with a bit of a softer tone, as he tends to do when his money goes shrinky dinks talking to the European audience about where he sees tariffs. Can't wait to see how visibly high on ketamine he is in this clip. I think he's on beta blockers, probably, based on just sort of his low sort of measured tone. But here's Elon. And I'm hopeful, for example, with the tariffs that at the end of the day, I hope it is agreed

that both Europe and the United States should move ideally, in my view, to a zero tariff situation, effectively creating a free trade zone between Europe and North America. And that would be my, that's what I hope occurs. There's like applause you can hear coming through. And also more freedom of people to move between Europe and North America. Who, which people? And that's it.

Only that, yeah, exactly. Or the which people? Which people? Only that. Yeah, exactly. Or the white people. Uh-huh. I love this. Oh my God. I love how sad he is. I love that it's the same energy that he brought when he was like, you know, how are you running your businesses?

Um, with, with, with, with great difficulty, to be honest with you. I want him to get so annoyed at the United States and be like, Oh, you didn't even let me buy your Wisconsin Supreme Court seat. I'm going back to Africa. Like just, you know, I really want him to go back to South Africa and be like, Oh, you didn't even let me buy your Wisconsin Supreme Court seat. I'm going back to Africa. Like just, you know, I really want him to go back to South Africa and be like, let's create. I don't want this obviously for the people of South Africa, but I'm like, just go, just go.

He's like, let's do a part. He tries to get in on that same pro like a refugee program. He's like, but I, oh, he goes back and then tries to come again. So he doesn't want to buy the Trump gold card. Um, this is a guy who is, I mean, I think he's reflecting what everyone else is, which is like, it's not even about bringing countries to heal and having equal tariffs. It's it is Donald Trump thinks that any trade deficit is bad for the United

States, that us being able to buy more from countries that make diamonds or coffee or bananas, things that we don't buy, that inherently means we're being screwed over. It is dumb, dumb economics. Again, he needs to go to school. He should have actually finished his fucking classes at Wharton or whatever. I love how they're like, we're going to create a free trade zone. Bitch, what do you think the last 30 years has been for the United States?

It's been nothing but a free trade zone for multinational corporations. They literally have free trade zones in all of the impoverished countries. You're now slapping with tariffs so that you get your cheap goods for free and that manufacturers can pay shit wages. Like, do you not understand what's been set up for the last, you know, again, 30 years? This is how he's going to extract concessions from many nations. Right. Oh, yeah.

That's the cool thing. And then America will be winning again. But yeah, to your point, when he's like, oh yeah, our trade with Madagascar is way off. It's like, why? Cause because we get vanilla from them. They make 70% they produce 70% of the vanilla on the fucking planet. Like what, what are we opening up the central valley now to do like we're growing coffee, we're growing bananas, we're growing all these other things. If you dig a little bit deeper, there's definitely

some vanilla in the earth's crust. Like where does he think it's coming from? I mean I read that it's actually not physically possible for America to grow enough coffee for American coffee drinkers. Like it actually can't be done. So, yeah, truly, truly. And this is again, the sort of, you see a ton of weird responses under like posts, like in comment sections, like on Fox and other places where like they're explaining, oh, like we get a lot of this from this country. Like, wait, but I thought, oh, I thought this company was American. It's like, yeah, where do you think the fucking material? Oh no. Yeah. None, none, none of them are this company was American. It's like, yeah. What do you think the fucking material? Oh no.

Yeah. None, none, none of them are anymore. Quick lesson. Yeah. But I, I, I kind of sympathize sort of with like, especially like the average conservative voter who is now sort of like realizing that like they elected like a demented old man who now has like absolute power and like, they're never going to admit it probably, but like, this is why you

don't do this. So like, this is, this is also not new. Like authoritarians do weird economic shit all the time, like going all the way back to like Nazism, like they did weird economic shit, like the Latin American dictatorships did weird economic shit. Like this is just how it goes because that's what happens when you have a weird old man in charge of your country with no checks and bounds. Yeah.

And now we can't have vanilla or coffee. And gassing you up all the time. Like, yep, yep, exactly that sir. Exactly. Exactly. This is just how this works. Like, you want to go. Yeah.

Oh, sorry, sorry. Did not to cut you off. I was just going to jump on it because the, the South America stuff, you know, I lived in Argentina for many years and they still are paying for the, America stuff, I lived in Argentina for many years. And they still are paying for the debt that the military junta incurred. They were the ones who started the World Bank sort of debt structure and they're still paying it now. And what's so crazy is like,

you see the way that Elon reveres Javier Mele, right? In Argentina and you're like, yeah, but we aren Mele, right? Right. In, in, in Argentina. And you're like, yeah, but we aren't Argentina. I live there. We don't have a 600% inflation rate every goddamn year. Yeah. In which case, right. Yet.

And so that's exactly, it's like, we're trying to, I think, I don't think that this is the goal, but I do think it's like, oh, you're going to cheapen the dollar. You want to turn us into like a competitive in quotation marks country rather than embracing the fact that we are literally the economic hegemon for a reason. And yeah, I mean, it's amazing you hear Howard Lutton, Commerce Secretary kind of echo these things that I used to say in the early 2000s, part of the global justice movement, like, you know, these labor standards and environmental practices abroad are really bad. It's like, yeah, no shit, man.

So it's just like, stop trying to, everyone's trying to couch it, no matter if it's Lutnik or if it's, you know, Scott Besson or something. Besson, exactly, or Musk or whomever, or other billionaires. I think he's going to, in three weeks, he's going to bring everyone to heel. No matter what, they're all just trying to make it look like it, what it is, make it not look like what it is, which is a massive fucking fuck up that honestly, speaking of the junta, we could be paying for, for decades and decades and decades. I'm glad you mentioned that.

I, uh, I used to live in Brazil, Sao Paulo, and, uh, you could obviously see the ghosts of their dictatorship still to this day, but I was living there during a hyper inflationary moment where the REI went from, I think, three REIs to the dollar to six, like overnight. And I don't think that the average American like understands like what that looks or feels like where like, you know, you go to the store and they're just taping new numbers over. Just like that?

Yeah. No, like it literally is just like that. Yeah. I mean, for the businesses that don't go out of business. Right. So like, you know, if you, if you really can't like grab your head around this, just like, just, you know, imagine like a moment, two or three weeks from now when like you don't actually in your mind know what things cost anymore and like the chaos that that's

going to be. And like, and as you said, even if we come through this and we're still in a democracy where we go back to some sort of quote unquote normal democracy, that stuff doesn't go away. Like the damage is decades, generations long. So that's what I'm the most excited about right now. That's what I'm looking forward to. Yeah.

I mean, a lot of people are like, when are they going to impeach them? What's going to happen? I mean, like, I think it is interesting because there is like, it's like what happens when one guy is just trying to fuck up all the capitalists' money and like, how do they respond? Like, do they? Cause like they were all in line when they thought that this was just going to be like, yeah, dude, it's just an open season on fucking people, like workers over and consumers over. But they're like, wait, wait, not, not, not totally fucking up the game either. Cause we're seeing things like there's a there was a lawsuit out of Florida.

I think that's really interesting. The New Civil Liberties Alliance filed a complaint over the legality of Trump's tariffs, specifically because he was talking about how he's using this specific act to be able to say like I can circumvent Congress and I can I can levy tariffs just because I want to. So the New Civil Liberties Alliance was representing a Florida-based, like, stationary company. They again argue Trump doesn't have the legal authority to just declare shit like this. He does. It's also very interesting is the New Civil Liberties Alliance is partly funded by Charles Koch and Leonard Leo.

And you're like, okay, is this like a- Oh, boy. Is this a little bit of some asymmetrical warfare here? Are they trying to bring him to heal? My favorite guys. Yeah. These guys that have their monkey paw and they're like, fuck. Yeah, truly. Like where I'm like, oh, oh, okay. Then we've seen Republicans. We saw a representative bacon from Nebraska say like, he's like, I'm going to represent legislation or introduce legislation to claw back some of the authority to enact tariffs. Like, that should be our, you know, responsibility as Congress.

But again, that may be less of an effective strategy considering that Mike Johnson put language into a bill in a procedural vote last month that, quote, would prevent the chamber from voting on any proposed bill that would end Trump's national emergency declaration against Mexico, Canada and China, which again, uh, as, as in the Washington post puts it effectively shielding house Republicans from taking a hard vote that could rebuke the president. That was the biggest thing in the budget bill that everyone was so concerned about. That's why it is unforgivable that Chuck Schumer and nine other Senate Democrats

voted for it is because it abdicated congressional responsibility and oversight for things like the budget, for things like the very budget. They signed that away. And so, yeah, the fact that they're like, oh, shit, I guess the fine print, we don't have any power. You can't just ask for your balls back after you've like handed them over. Can't be like, can I use them now? No, it's not how it works. You've handed them over just now. You have one. What really gets me though is that like this is how it goes. Like you're talking about like the Junta in in Argentina in Chile in Brazil going every tier ship

You want to look at that comes to power the capitalists like we love this. This is so cool And then the tears like give me your money and they're like, oh, I didn't think that that would happen I think it's every single instance going like going back 150 years and this happens So I don't I don't have a lot of sympathy for them. Actually, I think I don't have any sympathy at all I mean, I think that's part of the sort of sickness that bleeds into the minds of these capitalists too, is that their value system is like they have such tunnel vision that they don't actually consider any other factor aside from, I'm making the line go up and this guy's helping. And I don't know what the other stuff that he's saying, because I'm pretty sure he's all in on

this thing too cut to mmm You are now surprised Pikachu dot J. That's why that's why I'm I'm very liquid in fart coin right now I was doing talk to a coin, but then Yeah, hawk coin, but it was Nah, he's a fed dude. He didn't, it was over. I'm going over. Man. I just think, I just think any good leftist listening to this should invest in fart coin next. You know, that's what you guys should do.

Fart coin. I love that. Or just fart on your coins. Whatever you got left. Try those. No, I think that's a really good point about like fascists and the ways that it's seen like, oh, this is going to help business.

But in fact, because they have so much unchecked power and they're actually often not smart enough to do the shit that they're doing, it's not ultimately good for business. The real thing we have to hold onto is that like, the dollar is still dominant. The point in which companies are not coming back to the country and we are trying to borrow, right,

from other companies, you know what I mean? Like that's when we're gonna get really fucked. Yeah. But again, this idea that like, that the jobs are coming back, that like, you know, all this is impossible because, right, because, so let's follow their logic. It is, okay, everything's gonna be really expensive to import. Obviously that's falling on consumers. Consumers aren't gonna buy very much. Then companies will, what, take five years to 10 years

to build more infrastructure here in the US. That will bring about jobs that pay about, I don't know, 9.50 an hour maybe to assemble to assemble an iPhone in 12 years. You could get that job again. It'll be $9.50. Like, and then prosperity for, for who? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So wait, I was actually, I was working on a piece about this this morning.

I've seen the answer to that question. Like if you, and I'm sure you've probably seen this too. No. Like if you dig around like the fucking dark corners of X right now, the answer to that question. Like if you, and I'm sure you've probably seen this too. Like if you dig around like the fucking dark corners of X right now, the answer is it's prosperity because women are out of the workforce, men work in factories, and we've returned to traditional gender roles.

That is the final project of this. And you can see it this morning where like, there's people on Fox News being like, we're solving the masculinity crisis by building factories in America. Like that's what's happening. When you come home, there will be a roast in the oven. It'll be called my head.

Exactly. But that's, that's the plan is the plan is to essentially destroy the, the global economy so that women don't go to work anymore. Men have to like make like buttons in a factory in Wisconsin somewhere. There's so many, yeah, there's so many end games that are so probable. It's like frightening, you know, cause then there's like the version of we need to accelerate the degradation of like the, the economy here. So people just get frothing at the mouth for some kind of new fucked up social

norms. So in 15 years, I foresee we'll be making buttons for a Chinese podcast after having to give up our podcast. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The Chinese century is here, baby. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, that's really the winner in all this. That's what's so funny.

I mean, we talked about how Russia is not included on the tariff list, but it really is China once again. Russia again, and good for them. They didn't have to find us. They're doing what Chuck Schumer is doing. They're like, nah, bro, let these motherfuckers do something. They took that James Carville advice. They're like, play dead, play dead.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, go ahead. No, yeah, go through with that. You know we make everything that your fucking people consume all the time, right? Are you okay? I'm smuggling a Hawaii phone across the border as we speak right now. I'm very excited. I can't wait.

Well, luckily there are still people that have completely lost touch with reality and have no idea how the economy works because Pastor Julie Green, aka the MAGA prophet who Eric Trump goes on the show a lot. Oh, I love her. She's great. He was recently on and she was like, Eric, your father, I believe, was anointed by God and he's like, yeah, that part exactly. He's got a lot of teeth and gum.

Oh yeah. Wow. She also explained that the tariffs are basically Satan trying to make president Trump look bad. So here, let's let her sort of explain this. Oh, I'm fascinated how this works. It makes it's very clear, like, obviously, like the tariffs look bad if you understand Satan's plan and she says the word enemy

I don't know who it could be people of color. It could be the world. It could be Satan I don't know use it interchangeably in your mind. First of all, this was a strategy to the enemy From the enemy God said what happened? To make our president look bad. She's very drunk. She's very bad. I was about to say, she has incredible Pinot Grigio voice. She has the most incredible Pinot Grigio voice I've ever heard in my life. Yeah, that is.

First of all, you shouldn't drink a half bottle of Carlo Rossi Sauvignon Blanc and take a Xanax bar at the same time. I want to queen out with this woman so badly. Talk about demons and spirits. Holy shit. Oh, I bet she has the most incredible turquoise jewelry. I want to just hang out with this one. So if you yes, and did her in this state she's in you,

this conversation will go to places you never thought. Fucking exactly. Talk that shit. Honestly, fuck Mike White. This is way better. Yeah. OK, just go. It's her sister. OK, go me. Honestly, fuck Mike White, this is way better. Yeah. Okay, just go, yeah. It's her sister.

Okay, go on. Freaking out. First of all, this is a strategy to the enemy. From the enemy, God said what happened to make our president look bad. To make the tariffs look bad, when actually the tariffs are very bad for that dark financial system that the enemies have in place.

She can't say they weren't enemies, but she keeps trying. God told us when we start seeing a shaking in the economy, that we are not to fear. Because this is not going to affect us. This is going to affect our enemy. The enemy's trying to keep a hold of the economy. They're the ones who are bringing it down. They're the ones who bring it up. They manipulate it all the time.

So I don't want you to fear when you start hearing these things, whether it keeps going down today or whether it starts rebounding today. I have no idea. All I know is that God is judging that system. So if we start seeing more and more of a decline, God is saying, remember the land of Goshen. Okay.

Yep. All right. Yep. Now I'm starting to feel totally fucked up just listening to that. Yeah. She's like, she's so cool. I want. She's. Yeah, I'm now I'm starting to feel totally fucked up. Just listening. Yeah, she's like She's so cool I love I love her. She's yeah, I wish I had that confidence You know just to be like half a bottle deep and be like I'm going live and I'm walking Yeah, I want to get hammered and go live and you just you're so drunk

You can only blame you can only describe global economics as like, this is the enemy and the enemy is hating right now. And they're mad because it's bad for the enemies. Oh, it's all the same. Yeah, she's saying you're cooking. Yeah, she's saying Chief Justice John Roberts was going to be in prison for fucking the 2020 election. Oh, God.

No, but I'm like, this is people listen to these people. Like, it's simple. It makes sense. And you're like, if you think that Trump is God, don't, don't white people know they can still be racist if Trump goes away. Like, don't they know you don't need him to be your instrument for racism. You still got it. Don't worry.

Like there'll be other races. There'll be other white, you know, white, just fine. You still got it. Don't worry. Like there'll be other races. There'll be other white, you know, white Republicans. You were doing it before. Just fine. You were doing it great. You know, and you're just like, Oh my God, but we've really jumped the shark with these kinds of folks. And they're like, no, the more they hate you. And honestly, this is kind of a symptom of internet culture more broadly. And as someone who's sort of in the pundit world on the internet and political pundit world, like you see it play out as well, not naming names, but like where you're like, the more people get mad at you, some folks are like, that's when you're doing it right. Yeah, I know. I mean, I agree with that though, like for me personally, like that's if people hate me because I'm telling the truth, that's what I say. Yeah. But I would agree. You can't back down.

You can't lose the fight. Right. No, no. And then you do this quintupling down on nonsense and we end up in like, I wonder if she just saw her stock portfolio or some shit and she's like, oh shit, give me that fucking bottle. Give me some of my, I'm about to go. No, she's got gold bars energy. She got real gold bars energy. She's.

She got Z bar. She got Xanax bars energy. I want to get thrown out of a Margaritaville with her. So. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. And they're like, I don't know. I don't know what word she used, but it felt like it was a racial slur. Although I don't know exactly what the thing, but it had the energy that she said.

Presented by Capital One, founding partner of iHeart Women's Sports. And we are back and I don't know if do you do you play games? Am I though am I like one of my the sole gamer here?

Not video. Okay, based on that based on how slow. Yeah, I already know. That's okay. That's okay. I get it. It's me with my little computer games because look, I'm much I'm a child of the 80s and I love me some video games. But I just want to point out this thing. It's me with my little computer games because look, I'm much I'm a child of the 80s and I love me some video games

But I just want to point out this thing. Well, what are you laughing at? I have the giggles now of like what's the rights opinion on everything of just like gamers are women, you know It's just everything is just a woman like yeah, we don't know. Yeah. It's like, dude, if you play Nintendo, you're actually a female. Yeah. Okay. What? That that's it. That's all it is to do.

The most boss shit is to fucking scream into a pillowcase. Okay. No pillow in it. Just in the pillowcase. Um, but anyway, Trump basically has proudly shit on so many groups of people. We can't even keep track. And we were talking on yesterday's show, Ryan Roderick, and we were in Francesco, we were talking about the gamers.

Now, what happens when Nintendo switch to that was announced the same day of the tariffs goes up exponentially in price because people are already like, why is this shit so much more expensive? And now, Nintendo has basically canceled that not basically they have canceled US pre orders in order to, quote, assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions. That's not good. Again, they were already jacking the price up on the switch to

anticipation of the tariffs. And they even in 2019, we're just like, I don't know where this is gonna go. They moved the production from China to Vietnam to avoid US tariffs on China. But they weren't expecting the tariffs to be so high in Vietnam, because right now it's 46%. So we'll see, we'll see how that shakes out. And now experts have pointed out that this won't be limited to Nintendo, the tariffs are going to have a huge impact on the video game industry as a whole. And you look around on social media,

Reddit, etc. People are not taking the news. Well, obviously, I don't know if how much of a political force this will turn into or manifest into. But just considering the fact that I get 76% of adults in the US played video games on at least one platform that was from last year. And it's also the one of the big if not the biggest form of mass entertainment in 2022. global consumer spending on video games was more than the music and movie industries combined. And we saw political candidates try and get

in good with gamers. The Harris Walls campaign had a fucking this whole thing called Freedom Town USA and Fortnite, which was like tell me you don't know what how video game players think without without saying it. This is from the description of a quote. Players can take advantage of small business tax breaks, collect construction supplies and build new homes to lowering housing costs. They can also shoot exploding footballs at opponents, a reference to Waltz's time

as a high school coach. Wow. Yeah, this is not, this is not, no one wants to go in there and be like, yeah man, I can't wait to get off for a homey. You want to get, you want to hop off fortnight so we can get those small business tax breaks? Take your real life that you're trying to get away from and bring it into the game. Right. Guys, we got to go to that thing where I'm I got to fight through a bunch of people to get to the Small Business Administration, try and get a home loan after a fire. I can't

wait. This is my favorite level. And even Trump, right? He streamed with this guy, Aiden Ross. I don't know if you have heard of Aiden Ross. He's like one of the biggest streamers on kick. He's he was like friends with Kanye at peak problematic Kanye, although he continues to be peaker. But just to give you an idea of this guy's intellect, you know, this guy, he he went to Mar-a-Lago and did a live stream at Mar-a-Lago. And a lot of people are like, oh, shit. Like this was part of a lot of people pointing

to Trump's campaign strategy and being like, he's going after these like younger streamer podcast type people who have huge audiences. Yeah. And this guy gave him like a fucking gifted him a cyber truck that had like the assassination attempt picture, like wrapped the graphic on it. It was very fucking sad. Whoa. And I just want to point to this man's intellect because it is very,

very impressive. Uh, at one point, I'm pretty sure on one of his streams, someone was asking like why he supports a fascist in Trump. And this is the process of him trying to figure out what a fascist is. What does a fascist is. What does a fascist mean? Fascist. What does a fascist mean?

It means you are a far right authorization on, you, on ultra, ultra, ultra, ultra, ultra, ultra, oh my God, ultra, ultra, ultra, ultra, ultra, ultra, analyst, political ideology, Ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra ultra Bro, Floyd Mayweather has better reading skills than this kid. Oh my God.

Far. What was that? I'm just going to read the real thing again, out loud, like a, like a person with just who is literate. Fascism. He pulls up the Google definite. Fascism is a far right authoritarian ultra nationalist political ideology and movement characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition.

Now let's let's give it to me one more time for the top Aiden. Far right authorization on the you on ultra does it ultra ultra now let's it Oh my god ultra analyst analyst. Oh my God. Ultra and a lot of this analyst movement characterized by dictator leadership, centralized, autocrasy, militarism, for autocracy, suppression, suppression of opposition. So I don't know what that means, but I swear to God, I don't know what the fuck a fascism is. I don't know what the fuck it is. Okay. It's an ultra natal autist. It's an ultra natal autist. You know what I mean? Ultra not a lot of stuff. Oh yeah. I'm, I'm, I'm natal autist. You know what I mean? It's an ultra not a lot of stuff. Oh yeah.

I'm, I'm, I'm all about fascists. You know what I mean? Because that's the authorization of ultra not a lot of, you know, also not like us. They not like us. Okay. And here we are. The way he like is rage quitting while reading a word is so frightening. And I feel like this isn't just limited to Aiden Ross.

Like he is America dog. Yeah, there's a huge, there is a huge chunk of very manly men who cannot read. It's slay on games. For real, for real. And I'm re considering my relationship, all the choices I've made. Like maybe I just need to find an ultra nautilus. Um, author is authorized. Authorization, dictation, dictation.

Do you authorize this charge? Yeah, of course. Good. Autocrat. Yeah. You know, that's my favorite. Wait, what are you recording right now? What, what, what audio program do you guys record on? Are you

using Audacity or Autocracity? I'm using Autocrasmosity. Oh, that's the paid version. Okay. Okay. Okay. Yeah. I mean, like this, to your point, like Lydia, this really does speak to like a lot of people were laughing at him in the chat, but a lot of people who watch him also have no idea what fascism is, also have no idea like what rights are. And this is a huge reason why people are like, I can't believe they voted for him. It's like these people don't fucking know. Some of these people have no idea, no

fucking concept of basic civics. And they just go to well, what does Aidan Ross think? What's Joe Jogan say? Oh, okay. And off you go. And now cut to Aiden Ross this weekend after the fucking stock market took a huge shit. This guy is invested in all kinds of crypto. You know, he has obviously owns a ton of stock. This is him, I guess, reaping what he sows because he's sitting at his life, like at his desk, watching his stonks go to shit in front of his eyes. And here's his reaction about what I mean, this is what fascism do to you. Be honest with you, I don't know how many of you guys are investing in crypto or stocks.

What the fuck is going on with our country? Guys, why am I poor? Like what is going on in the world? Why the fuck is this going on? Can somebody please explain what's going on? Why are we all losing? Why are we all negative right now? Like, does anybody know why? Yeah. I love that. I think we know why.

Yeah, you should blame an ultranatilatus. He just turned into a woman right in front of our eyes. Just watching that screen. He's doing woman right in front of our eyes. Just watch right in front of the screen But he's gonna understand in front of a computer screen. Mm-hmm. Can't do it. Why are we negative? That's girl man? Yeah Yeah, it's really it's really really tough. He was later on the live stream with DJ academics Wow, they were talking about like he was like I'm getting killed BJ academics said that like he was price spitting like tequila all over himself as he said that.

And Aiden Ross is like, yeah, like he looks so I should probably pull up a clip. He looks so distraught. He's just like, yeah, dude, um, it's not, it's not good. It's not good. Well, it's just so funny to see people who fundamentally don't understand investing like stocks are a volatile environment, right? Like that is the nature. It is not real money.

You are representing the idea of how much money you could possibly be held responsible with. Right? Like that's what debt is. It's so funny. So like, dog, you've been for the whole time. You've just been playing this weird game where you're gold starred and people think that your worth of whatever bullshit you're spewing gives you the right to have access to certain amount of dollars, which aren't even really being exchanged.

You're just exchanging promissory notes of more and more debt. Right. You've been broke the whole time. My guy. Yeah. You're playing a game, bro. They do you into the whole fucking thing. He know what?

He's you know how much he said he lost eight figures. So we're talking a minimum of $10 million. He's saying, was he reading that number? Or was that someone I wanted to ask? Because like, how are you diversified? Are you fully poured into just like, fucking crypto 123? I mean, I don't know how crypto works because I also don't think that's real. But like, in terms of stocks, like you're supposed to have a diverse portfolio so that if you take a hit, it kind of spreads itself out. Not to say that you're not going to get a hit.

Like obviously your overall portfolio is going to reduce. But this kid is not smart. So I'd imagine he is probably so over leveraged in like two things. You know what I mean? And he probably was like, he probably saw what like a lot of people saw the crypto spike that happened after the election. And it was like, Oh, baby up is good. I'm for more. If this is where this shit is going, sign me the fuck up. Yeah, they say he there's like when you look for

like what's his net worth, people say around 16 and 24 million. Maybe not anymore, bro. Not our tradition. I just want to leave this tip here. Costco sells gold bars. You can buy one ounce gold from Costco. At the current price of gold, sometimes a little bit under, all I'm saying is this, gold is the standard, right?

So if you're a small time investor and you don't really understand the StarkMog, go buy some gold, put it in a safe gold will always be gold. Okay. That's why I wear it on my face. We'll go up. The price will go down, but like don't get on fucking red Robin.com or whatever these little sites are and buy like a slice of a stock that makes me so angry. I own 12 slices.

Do you what that's like saying you own a half of a pizza dog. What are you doing? Yeah. There's better ways to invest your money. Grow up. I own half of the tire dog. What are you doing? Yeah. There's better ways to invest your money. Grow up. I own half of the tire that's on that Lambo. Okay. That's like owning a jacket with a friend.

We bought this Dolce coat together. I get it on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I did. I remember I did that. I did that with a throwback Jersey when I was in high school with a friend. It was a Willis Reed in New York Knicks throwback Jersey. I was like, look, let's go half on it because you can wear like when I'm not wearing it, you can wear it and vice versa.

Cause I can't, I can't afford a whole ass Mitchell and Ness throwback NBA Jersey. I did that at 12. We had a skirt that me and two other girls shared and it was the right side in that example, Lydia, that's actually useful. I mean, like you could be like, I got the coat. Now you got the coat. You're not going to do shit with like your fractional ownership of some other weird thing, just to try and bring more people into your fucking Ponzi scheme.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Seven to three of a single Johnson and Johnson stock. Congratulations on your point seven two cents. Congratulations. You've played yourself. So congratulations, Aiden Ross. You have played yourself. I hope maybe Trump will give you back that Cybertruck, man, because maybe you can get some money for that.

I don't know, but good luck to you. And by that, I mean bad luck to you. OK. Go to hell. All right, that's going to do it for this week's weekly. Zeitgeist, please like and review the show if you like the show. It means the world to Miles.
