I don't know, the way you were driving this morning.
Man, I'll tell you folks, the one thing that I hate about
having a car still on the drive-in with the-
I'll tell you, the one thing I hate about him not having a car
is him and my passenger seat.
Why?
You're the most annoying passenger.
How? I'd sit there, I'd do nothing.
No. Can we listen to the radio?
I asked you one time.
Can I listen to the radio?
I asked you one time and you said,
you said no and I was like, okay,
because this is your car, your rules.
I have not asked you again.
And then this morning, I turned the little knob
to adjust the temperature,
thinking that it was adjusting the temperature on my side
and you were like, what do you do?
Why do you always press buttons?
I'm like, I never press buttons.
You're always, what buttons do I press?
You're always pressing buttons.
Don't do this.
I turn the knob thinking that I was adjusting my temperature
and when I learned that I wasn't, I stopped touching.
No, it was like defrost feet.
No, no.
Well, yeah, I was accidentally turning the mode knob
instead of the temp knob.
Because your card, you sprung,
you didn't spring for the big bucks, you didn't get dual temperature,
it's just one temperature for the whole cabin.
You're gonna air this out on Man, TV, I got the bass model.
You didn't spring, yeah, you got the bass model.
I got the bass model.
I got the bass model.
I got the bass model, because I'm drunk, too.
What are you drunk?
This is crazy.
I'm telling my car.
I told you it's gonna be a stinker.
I knew this was gonna happen.
It's easy, it's easy.
You gotta get a car.
So you feel like shit. I get in your car, I sit there. I get in and I go, whatever we want to do, you know, it's gonna be a stinker. I knew this was gonna happen. Easy, it's H. You gotta get a car. So you feel like shit.
I get in your car, I sit there.
I get in and I go, whatever he wants to do,
you know, it's his world.
Yeah, and I drive smooth.
I'm just living in it.
And we listen to AM radio.
You don't drive smooth.
I don't want to argue with you.
I drive so smooth.
You don't, you think you do.
I don't.
Oh my God.
How do I not drive smooth?
Really?
No.
Oh my God.
That's not true. that's not true.
That's not true.
I drive as if I've got a hot cup of coffee
between my legs with no lid on.
That's how you should drive.
Hey, I don't drive like that.
Also, you drive back.
Hey, remember when you slammed on the brakes earlier
and I went like that?
Oh, like, oh, sorry.
Like, you've never slammed on the brakes?
The amount of time.
Why are we doing this?
I've never slammed on the brakes.
This is crazy. I've never slammed on the brakes so many times. Never. Why are we doing this? I've never slammed on the brakes. This is crazy.
I've never slammed on the brakes so many times.
Never.
You're literally always looking at your phone.
I don't think so.
No, that's true.
I look at it while I'm at a red light.
You literally told the story in after hours
how you almost died because you were looking at your phone.
That's because someone in front of me ran a red light.
Because you were looking at your phone though.
They ran a red light.
Yeah, but they ran a red light.
This episode's gonna stink because of that true

He gets in my car this morning.
Stinks like fucking cigarettes.
Yeah, because I had a cigarette.
I'm getting out.
I got a headache for the first 10 minutes.
Yeah, how do you think I feel?
I smoked the name thing.
Horrible.

Steve Sletz checked the disclaimer in the box.

You'll figure it out.
You went to college. So anyway, you know what. I don't know how to do it.
You'll figure it out.
You went to college.
So anyway.
It's a bad energy already.
No, this is good energy.
This is what we want.
This is how we get the jinkies out.
I don't know what that is.
The grink?
The grink?
What is grink?
Remember, it's the viral tweet where the guy,
he's like your friends will never let you live down
saying a word wrong.
And you'll text the group chat.
Like, in 2008, you said, yeah, that movie, the Grink,
and they're like, the Grink, and then 15 years later,
you're like, someone robbed my house.
They're like, was it the Grink?
I saw the one where it's a, guys, I accidentally killed a woman with my car instead of woman,
and then they all go woman and woman.
Someone so changed the chat name to woman.
Oh, God, anyway.
Whoa, what a day, huh? Huh? We're on, I apologize for my cough, I've got smoker's lug.
I'm addicted to cigarettes early.
It's fucking awful.
But I'm kinda like, dude you gotta leave those.
Yeah, no international.
I know.
But the good thing is that I'm, what's the good part about it? That you're still addicted to jacking?
I'm not...
What?
What?
No?
The good part is that I'm gonna stop.
Um...
Buy this weekend if I...

Yeah, that's the good part.
Stop now!
No, well, I gotta finish the pack first.

Fuck, we get it.
Yeah.
I got it up into 45.
If I can do it, no problem.

Are your hands that big? Yeah, look at them. They're huge. I can palm a basketball.
In what way? He was always talking about his hands, because people were like, He wasn't always talking about his hands.
People were always talking about his hands.
Yeah, so he'd go out there and go,
I got big hands, no.
No, I don't think he ever did that.
He had, I don't know, who gives a shit?
He's coming back.
Instagram, Facebook, Twitter.
He's allowed back on.
We're just, hasn't he been allowed back on Twitter for months?
Not, I wouldn't, I don't know if it's months,

but he just refuses.
Come on, tweet something, you fucking asshole.
Yeah, I wonder what his first tweet is gonna say.
I'm gonna come.
I'm gonna come.
Well, I hope it comes out strong.
Call a salary a bitch or something.
Yeah.
Or someone a dog.
Like a dog.
Rosie O'Donnell, he always called a dog. He called a lot of people a dog
Speaking of dogs
Go for let's see if I can do this speaking of dogs
Well, it's been you know how you know how sometimes a dog jumps up
I can't follow you jumps up on you right markets rallying up
Wow, that was seamless. Let's give it, let's go to a quick market update.
That's fucking stupid.
What are you doing, man?
Look, we've got to be honest.
I told you, I'm just, I got, I got cigarettes and pizza on the mind.
We got about 50 minutes to turn around.
It starts now.
Okay, today's the first minute.
Actually, let's start the whole episode over now.
Okay. What's up, fuck. Actually, let's start the whole episode over now.
What's up, fucker?
Fuck.
Damn it.
All right, I told you guys, we're working on getting
the Twin Towers in the background.
We're working on getting the boat back into the nine.
Do your thing and get on deck with the Twin Towers
just so you know, we're gonna be there, don't worry.
Don't worry, we're working on that.
Don't cut that, we're not cutting anything else.
Except for your racist remarks, can you just cool it on those please?
We understand how you feel about Native Americans. You don't need to remind us. I
Anyway, go ahead. So the market's rallying lately, right? And there's a lot of reasons and
It's it's just kind of a perfect confluence.
And it's very frustrating for those who are bearish out there.
And for those like me who have hedge positions on, just in case the market drops, because
even though you got hedges on, they go down in value.
And hopefully the shit that you're long goes up to, which it has.
But so you had the buyback blackout window ending for many corporations this week,
meaning that so many of these companies
that issue share buybacks, like Chevron,
did you see what Chevron just fucking,
I mean fuck them entirely.
Wasn't like a $75 billion shareback.
How about you, fuck.
After record profits.
Yeah.
You gotta say, that's a trillionaire mindset
to loot to Chevron maybe.
Yeah, boy, congratulations.
Can you imagine working for Chevron or like Raytheon?
Yeah, I could imagine.
It'd be pretty sweet, huh?
You got a lot of money, but you're going to sleep
to the screams of young children.
Oh, yeah, I put the nose cone on Patriot missiles.
Jesus Christ.
Hey, someone's going to go.
I hope, so I'm sure hope this one doesn't kill any kids.
Sure hope this one doesn't kill any kids.
This one for sure, not going to kill any kids.
I saw Lockheed Martin is saying they're going to,
they're in trouble even though they're like,
the Ukraine war is going well,
but not as well as we had hoped we need more
Wars the thing in order for our profits to say up straight up we need people to fight
There's anyone who would like to invade do it now
Wait, they're the ones who make Patriot missiles lockied cuz they're the biggest one right?
They gotta be or maybe Northrop does. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, you also had apparently there was a ton, this was surprising to, well, I guess not that surprising, but you had a ton of institutional buying of the mega tech names.
Name them to apples, doggos, doff, metas, the,
amazams, what else?
Tess was Netflix.
Should we do the whole episode like this?
No, it's already.
Yeah, Netflix has been on a fucking hair.
It's insane.
And of course, the S&P recaptured the ever-important 200-day moving average.
And for those of you who don't remember from way back in the early days of this show
where we would talk about technical shit,
the 200 day moving average is a very important line
in the sand for trends because it is the,
it's exactly what it sounds like.
It's the average of the last 200 trading sessions.
And it's just, it's important.
And we closed above it and recaptured it.
So that's good.
That tends to bode well.
And I think the 50-day just crossed above it
is like about to, which shows that the short-term trend
is up.
Then you also have more fund inflows happening in January,
which is, I was surprised to learn.
It's the most fund inflows happening in January, which is I was surprised to learn. It's the most fun to inflows happen in January
more than the other 11 months of the year.
That's pretty sick.
People do be putting their money to work.
Hell yes.
Yeah.
Make your money work for you, bitch.
Yeah.
That's what I always say when I look at my wallet.
What are you doing for me to do with this?
What are you doing?
You sit there all day.
Sit there all day, a way to be spent.
I'm told I gotta put it in the computer.
Yeah.
It's all computerized.
Just fucking go in there.
Just seriously, go in there.
Move a couple of decimals around.
Boom, everybody's a millionaire.
Everybody's happy.
Don't give me this inflation bullshit.
We'll be smart with it.
We won't blow it all.
Promise.
Not me though.
I fucking blow that shit.
No, actually, I'd be responsible. Not really. I'd blow that shit on cigarettes. Oh, dude, I fucking blow that shit. No, actually I'd be responsible.
Not really, I'd blow that shit on cigarettes.
Oh, dude, I'd buy a crate of cigarettes.
No, I wouldn't, I wouldn't.
And then, you know, last thing, that Nick,
how do you say his name, Nick Timorouse?
You got it.
It looks Greek, you know.
Take it easy.
Timorouse.
Take it easy.
Is it like, team it ours?
I'm gonna give you a careful.
Okay.
Team it out.
Okay, so over the weekend, Nick, team it out.
Highlighted the possibility of the Fed pausing rate hikes this spring.
And a recent survey of businesses conveyed a lower possibility of the US being in recession
or entering one.
56% versus nearly two-thirds before.
So everybody's starting to go, wow, maybe things on is bad.
And also, if the Fed's going to pause, my thought is that inflation is going to come fucking
crashing down.
Yeah.
I hope you're right.
Well, because part of it, we've seen is like every company, especially in grocery stores, has been
just jacking up their prices to fuck people, because they know that they can.
The Pepsi guy being like, whoa, people are going to pay more for the color.
We've talked about this.
They thought they might have to spend more money, and they don't want to be on the hook
for that.
Okay?
So they're passing it on to consumers.
Don't demonize these corporations man
Well, they have yeah, they have people to underpay and people to fire and then there was this
interesting market glitch that happened on
Monday, I think it was Monday or Tuesday. It was Monday
Monday or Tuesday nobody can be sure we can't verify this information
But I actually saw last night what the cause of the glitch was
It was just some fucking coder left some some guy left some you know he left something
But if you look at a bunch of idiot kicker got all liquored up
Yeah, some dipshit moron boy really speaks to how resilient to the technology that runs these things is but
All you got to know technology that runs these things is. But all you got to know is that there was a glitch
that had a bunch of, like, I think 80-something stocks just absolutely like flash crashed.
So like, we got UPS pulled up here and you can just see this spectacular dip in them
and right at the beginning of the trading day. And they halted a bunch of them because
and right at the beginning of the trading day. And they halted a bunch of them because there's these parameters in place for every single
stock called limit up and limit down.
And you'll see it, what do you call it, abbreviate it as load.
The limit up, limit down parameters dictate that if a stock goes up too quickly or down
too quickly, they halt the stock and
like give it a minute and let people chill out.
Give it a second.
Give it a second.
Let them cook.
Let them cook.
Let them cook.
If I see one more, let them cook.
What is the let them cook thing?
Like the fuck?
Like don't interrupt them.
Let them do this thing.
Yeah.
Let them, let them, let them.
Where's it from though?
I don't know.
It's like Anthony Bourdain.
It's an Anthony Bourdain thing, huh?
Anthony Bourdain.
He's got his arms crossed and he's covered in tattoos.
Let him cook.
Let him cook.
Oh, it's, it's just meme shit.
Yeah.
It's not for us, it's for babies.
No, it's not, it's just for babies.
Memes are for babies.
Truly.
Fuck memes, all my homies hate memes.
That's very funny.
To meme it with a meme. Yeah, yeah, that's pretty good. Yeah. Hey, maybe we're turning this thing around
Yeah, man
You know you know one thing is I feel like my voice is a lot deeper since I started smoking that's the good thing about
Throat cancer is you get a nice sexy voice. Yeah
Well, can you Matt? Oh god god for bid. Don't too this air for your wood or something getting a voice box or some shit also would
balsa
Foly no well. We're here to he would finish that he'd turn it into something
Well the big news this week is that the Department of Justice is
suing Google find you want to hear just a little throwback?
Sure.
Throw it back, Emil.
Well, not if you're going to seem,
I'll show you.
No, no, no, it's fine.
Go ahead, throw it back.
Get excited about throwing it back.
Okay, let me try to get them.
Okay, go ahead.
There we go.
Throw it back.
This was months ago.
One of our producers said,
hey, do you guys have anything that you actually like?
You guys, you guys shit talk a lot.
Oh yeah.
And we're like, yeah, we love talking shit.
Which I don't think is true, but going.
We love talking shit.
No.
I want to know it.
I love talking shit.
No, I'm a very, I'm a very optimistic, optimistic.
They said, can try to find something you like.
Yeah. And so one of our stories was gonna be about,
and we didn't get to it because we were talking too much shit.
We were, I especially wanted to talk about,
you know, lean a con, chairperson of the FTC,
Jonathan Cantor, a guy doing antitrust stuff
at the Department of Justice and how they're actually,
they want to enforce the law,
break up some of these companies. Yeah, Yeah. And we never got to it. But we're actually seeing some
of this stuff come to fruition, right? It's not come to fruition. I mean, it's obviously,
there's still a long way away from all of this, but there is a start. Google is getting sued by
the Department of Justice. Not for any amount of, because you can sue for-
No, they are, they explicitly want to break up
Google's ad business.
Right, and-
Which accounts for like 85% of their revenues.
Is it that much?
Yeah, digital advertising accounted for roughly 80%
of Google's business with 12% or roughly $32 billion
coming from the ad
brokering activity that the DOJ is honing in on.
Holy shit.
Yeah.
So like clearly, it would fuck with Google.
But these kind of things take years, right?
Yeah, yeah.
Everyone says it's going to be this long-protracted battle.
There's already, and so, and this is just, this has already been going on. I think since 2020,
there's at least five separate suits from either states or federal entities. Didn't the EU also?
Oh, yeah. They've been up there at. Yeah, yeah. The EU's always trying to jam up one of these
big tech companies. Yeah, good for them. But so Google for, you know, since 2007 has been building this
entire in-house advertising system. Yeah. Starting with the one, the biggest one that everyone
talks about and you've been seeing in all the stories is double click. Double click. So in 2007,
they bought double click. I thought it was 08. I think 08 is one that deal went through because it
had to, it had to get approved by the FTC and everything got approved for it one
That's the government's fault if you didn't want them to have this monopolistic power
Maybe you shouldn't approved it. I will say it's easy to it. It's easy to do it. It's easy to say that in 2023
but in
2007 that it's I forget which one it was one of the guys who voted who voted with the four said if he knew what he knew now, he would have
never voted that way.
Oh, sure.
Yeah.
Thanks a lot, sir.
But yeah, that's one of the biggest ones that gave them the new software that it's like
a NASDAQ exchange for online ads that analysts say is extremely lucrative for Google. It brings web publishers and advertising buyers together on a website
where they can participate in auctions for ad space.
It also brought in relationships with web publishers.
I want to see this auction website.
I want to see it.
We normal people don't get to see where these advertisers and brands
are advertisers and what's the other side of that?
Fuck platforms platforms. Thank you. I want to see who how it looks pretty tight
Hey, when it ever ties you
Not a exciting injury. No, it sounds sexy. It's like it just like it's a guy doing the the quick ad or the quick
Oh, I'm so great if it was a cattle auctionaire.
$25 for a man's capes, man's capes here.
Javier Balls, who didn't do any bad dollars,
it's Shabbat of Fame, bam, bam, bam, bam.
Yeah, pretty funny.
Pretty funny that bit.
Maybe this one's not gonna be good.
That's gonna go into next year's best of, yeah, for sure.
Well, look, Tukaku.
I can't believe you said this was gonna be a stinker episode.
I can't believe you said you felt sick.
I don't feel sick.
Yeah, you were like,
I'm not my fault sick
when you got in the car,
I think I like cigarettes.
And then in 2009,
you think it's AdMob or AdMob.
I think it's AdMob because it helps them facilitate ads
on mobile devices.
AdMob.
Oh, ADMobi.
Mm-hmm.
AdMob. No, it's AdMob. But it's for mobile. devices. Adm- Oh, A-D-M-O-B. Mm-hmm. Adm-Obs.
No, it's Adm-Obs.
But it's for mobile.
Right.
Adm-O-B.
Right.
Adm-O-B.
Okay, go on.
Then we got invite media in 2010.
How much did they acquire these for?
I can't remember.
I didn't write them all down,
but one was a huge one for like 400 million,
then a smaller one, 70 million.
But, oh yeah. Imagine, 70 million, but.
Oh yeah, imagine, phew, Silicon Valley.
Just like, let's just come up with some books.
Silicon.
It's not silicone, silicon.
Every week I come here, I come in here,
I say some shit and you get a problem.
Well, I'm trying to keep it professional.
Why don't you keep it professional by...
Oh wow, they bought double clicks to the biggest one, yeah, 3.1 billion.
And then ad meld in 2011.
Ad meld?
Yeah, you got a problem with that too.
Why do they need all these different ones?
What the fuck?
You buy ad mob and it does mobile ads, then what do you need ad meld for?
What does it do differently that you can't just create in a house?
Well, it's fucking good.
There's probably another, so for example,
double click, Microsoft also really want a double click.
And they said, you know, and so Microsoft instead
got a quantive or whatever, again,
I don't know how to pronounce it.
But, but some of them honestly could be as simple
as we don't want another company snatching up
and exchange like this.
Yeah.
They really do have their fingers in every possible.
They got their hand fully in the cookie jar and it's stuck.
Someone posted, I didn't know this existed.
Apparently there's a website where it lists, it's called like Google Graveyard or something
like that.
And it's just the list of all the companies they've bought and just
Killed or ones they've launched and just killed and it just looks like a graveyard. You can just scroll through. Wow. How many comforts?
There's got to be hundreds. Oh hundreds. Yeah. Wow. That's that I aspire to do that. I aspire to
No, no to create a company that gets bought by a giant corporation and they pay me out and then I just fuck off
That's cool.
But yeah, so the best part is they start,
when this happens, they start pulling emails.
And it's very fun because, I mean, you would think they would,
no, maybe we should,
who starts pulling emails, DOJ?
Yeah, you would think they would be like,
maybe I shouldn't email this.
This feels like something that in a couple years
The justice department is gonna be reading to me. Yeah, but they just delete them
You're probably archived. Oh, yeah, I'm sure there's stored on servers and yeah
The justice department described internal Google documents and other evidence that it believes could help prove its case
And the lawsuit the agency said one Google advertising executive had questioned the company's market power, asking if there was a deeper issue with us owning the platform, the exchange
and a huge network and adding that the analogy would be if Goldman or Citibank owned the
New York Stock Exchange.
Yeah, I saw that.
That's a great quote.
It's really.
So they were self-aware.
They are fully aware of what they read.
And it's interesting.
I learned that they keep 30 cents or far more
of each advertising dollar flowing from advertisers
to website publishers.
Right, it's at least 30 cents.
And they also in their own internal documents
acknowledged that they would earn significantly less
if they had, if there was a competitive market.
But there is, like they have, part of their defense is,
hey, we're not the only game in town.
There's Microsoft, there's Amazon.
Yeah, but, I would point to just the cultural,
whatever the word is, that when you want to find something,
you Google it.
Yeah, they're getting sued for that as well.
I think that's one of the Texas law.
How do you sue, how do you sue for that?
You can have no control over that.
That people now use your company as a verb.
But they could break up the company in a way that makes it so it's not.
So it prices people out, right?
If people are paying for their searches to be higher and stuff like that, they could ask
to restructure the business
in a way that's more fair instead of just having
this monopoly powered and wielded it in any way they want.
I just, yeah, I just don't know how these kind of things
get resolved in a real estate.
Also, I don't think it's necessarily that, you know,
it's the way they've created the system.
This quote, I feel like sums it up,
that they just, they have their hand in every step of the way, right?
The DOJ is arguing that Google's prominent role
in multiple parts of the digital ad ecosystem
from tools for publishers to sell ad space,
tools for advertisers to buy ad space,
and in exchange that links bidders and sellers
in the blink of an eye.
Allow it to flex its anti-competitive muscles
in sundry other ways, right?
So they just control every step of the way.
Well, yeah, because it's their fucking website, right?
And I'm not defending, I'm just trying to understand.
Like what, if everybody uses your shit,
if McDonald's decides they wanna start their own potato farm,
where they control the growth of the potatoes
and they sell it to themselves or whatever, I don't know.
Yeah, we have laws to prevent this from happening.
Oh, God.
Because we've decided it's not good for people.
It's not good for...
Yeah.
Because it's monopolistic.
Yeah.
Because they're making...
If you control the entire system, you can just go, well, we decided that the price is
this now.
Yeah.
Because where are you going to go?
What are you going to do?
What are you going gonna go on being?
You gonna be getting it?
Right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You've decided that that's a problem on that.
So if they break it up,
wanna just, I mean, don't just make more money,
it'll be more,
what are they gonna spin it off?
Yeah, they want it to be spun off and sold.
So to who?
The next person who now owns it
and has a monopoly on everything
No, you could sell to multiple people it could be all different platforms one person could own the platform one could one could own
The exchange the publishing tools. Yeah sure. Okay
All right
But so Google already knew this was coming the DOJ was investigating and so they've been
They've been asking them,
they said, let us spin it off ourselves,
and we'll just keep it under the alphabet umbrella,
which is a very funny solution.
Yeah, because it's like,
no, no, no, let us keep, we'll just call it,
it'll be under alphabet umbrella, let us keep it.
Yeah.
You guys are being crazy.
Yeah, this is nuts, we'll do it.
No, we know, okay, we'll do it. But let us keep it. Yeah, let guys are being crazy. Yeah, this is not so do it. No, we know okay. We'll do it
But let us keep it. Yeah, let us keep it and the money we want the money
You guys are being psycho and the DOJ said fuck no
Yeah, they're just in no way. Yeah, cuz they've been working on this for years. They've been putting this together for years
Yeah, but I think this particular investigation is about
It's like six months or something.
Oh, that's not too long.
Well, good luck, Google.
It is a good luck.
I mean, good luck, Google.
Who are you?
Who am I rooting for?
Yeah.
The DOJ.
Nice.
Even though we are on Google's platform known as YouTube.com.
Oh, yeah, we got no issue with you guys at all.
Yeah.
We're kidding me
Well, you can't you can't even sing a song on this shit. You can't even sing a song
Otherwise, there's stupid algorithm will go. Uh-uh. You can't sing that. That's licensed. You can't sing that
demonetized
demonetized strike one. Uh-uh shut up bitch. That's YouTube in a nutshell. I don't think that I don't think that at all YouTube
Oh, you've got you've got a you've got a show that's been on here for years and you're successful guess what bitch
You're done
Haven't they done that to people multiple times yeah, and nobody in these like no Shapiro
Which let him back on let him cook
Let him cook
They they do this shit where yeah nobody seems to know how the YouTube algorithm works find the guy who's doing the code and ask him
Hey, how does this work? Oh?
We don't know it's just we you know we do the thing and we do the thing and you if you break the rules
Nobody can undo it. Sorry
fuck you.
Bitch.
Yeah.
But it's surprising, all this is very,
it's pleasantly surprising.
We talked about, I think both of Joe Biden had one,
it's gotta be close to eight, I don't know, a year ago now,
but he was talking about all the things he wanted to do.
And then most recently we talked about his, his op-ed and the Wall Street
Journal, where he's talking about the left and right needs to come together to
do something about big tech.
Yeah. Well, first they need to, they need to pass the Pelosi act.
We'll get to that.
But, well, I mean, they do talk about this, right?
So it's, it's the executive branch going after them at this point and, and Congress can't do anything. They talk about how there's all, you know, they do talk about this, right? So it's the executive branch going after them at this point and Congress can't do anything.
They talk about how there's all, you know,
they talk a big game, we need to rain them in,
we gotta do, and then all of a sudden,
lobbyists get involved, right?
Tech spend a lot of money on lobbying on both sides
and then they go, I don't know, this fucking bill
seems like a bad idea.
Should bail on this fucking thing.
Of course, because they're spineless in there for sale.
Well, also this week, Google laid off, was it this week or?
Nobody can be sure, but they laid off a bunch of people.
They laid off like 12,000 people.
The terrible no good bad week for Google.
Yeah, and it was completely random, basically.
Yeah, so nobody, again, nobody knows. Nobody seems to
understand. People's superiors were like, I have no idea why you got fired. They didn't
tell me. And people who've been there for 20 years got let go via email. Right. At the
very least, they seem to have been very sloppy. A lot of people have been let go who were
working on, you know, necessary things. And now the people are people's teams are just down.
Blow those whistles baby, get out there, go after them.
You know where you know what to do.
But so my understanding was, my understanding that was because this is, Google is not the
only tech company doing this, right?
A lot of tech companies are laying tons of people off.
Yeah, because they overhired, they didn't overhired, but they hired a bunch of people and
into the expectation.
With the expectation that thing we're just going gonna keep going up and up and up.
But my understanding was that they were letting go
a lot of those people that they hired in 2021.
And they were like, look, we thought your position
was gonna be necessary, it's not.
But yeah, with Google, you're seeing these,
you're seeing Guy let go after 20 years,
with just an email.
Yeah, terrible.
A lot of sad stories.
You were talking about people saying that they don't think the recession coming, the recession
is coming.
That is kind of one of the things that makes me hopeful when you hear people talking
about these layoffs because they're coming from these companies that, did you know, for
example, Meta in 2019? I believe they had about 40
45,000 employees or something like that and it basically doubled
Through the pandemic right that's crazy. Yeah
To add in and they basically added an entire new yeah
Yeah, that's not really I don't think people realize that we're kind of just coming back to earth on some of these things Yeah
And this monopoly shit's got to stop though.
Should we talk about ticket master or do you want to talk about the Pelosi act?
I feel like ticket master is a little bit more fun.
Really?
I just get to both.
I found the Pelosi act to be funny for what it stands for.
It kind of works out perfectly.
Oh my God, they did the thing where it...
Yeah, each letter stands for something.
They're all that. Yeah, but it works perfectly does it yes, it better be good
Let's let's look at it real fun. So Josh Holly who's a piece of shit and I fucking hate him
Introduced the Pelosi act banning lawmakers from trading stocks, which I fully agree with, but it stands for preventing elected leaders
from owning securities and investments act.
How did they do it?
I don't know, it works too well.
Like the stock act?
Stop trading on congressional knowledge.
It's that's beautiful.
The matrix is some of them are bad though.
Like the Patriot Act, what is the Patriot Act stand for?
I don't think that one's good.
Preventing all terrorists.
Ah. Rah, rah, rah. I don't know. Patriot Act stand for? I don't think that one's good. Preventing all terrorists. No. Ha.
Ra, ra, ra.
I don't know.
Patriot Act, let's see, what does this stand for?
Like they don't all, maybe it does.
Eh, providing appropriate tools required to intercept
and obstruct terrorism.
You can't abstract in there.
Oh man.
Providing appropriate tools required
to intercept and obstruct terrorism.
No, that's, that's um, that works.
Oh shit, and it's the USA Patriot Act. Uniting and strengthening America by providing
appropriate tools required to intercept an obstruct terrorism.
Unbelievable.
It really-
Who is the intern?
Ah, fuck this is fucking genius.
Come on James, USA Patriot, okay? Just make it something, okay, we got the tea,
the tea is terrorism.
Okay.
Well, one of the teas.
Yeah.
I bet I would have been the intern starting
with preventing all terrorists.
Come on, R-I-O-T, preventing all terrorists.
And George Bush is breathing down your neck.
Come on, James, what do you got?
Fuck. George versus breathing down your neck come on James. What do you got? Fuck
Running all terrorists
returning in our
Dick Cheney's just pissed throwing shit at the wall. No, you got two teams to work with
When's he gonna die did he die?
He's still alive
Christ are you thinking about Henry Kissinger?
No!
Dick Cheney alive.
He is currently the oldest living former vice president.
That's unreal.
God damn it man.
He's 81.
Hurry up!
Dick?
So...
Anywho?
Holly also is the one who...
Also, I mean, is this bill very different than the stock act?
I don't know. Well...
Oh, it must be because I think a big...
It seems to be a dig at Nancy Pelosi in the sense that a big part of it is...
He's including stuff about, you know, your spouse has to be completely...
It's preventing you from being able to own anything.
Which, to me, is too far. You should be able to own shit, but just put it in a blind trust.
The stock act was about,
you're not allowed to act on prior knowledge,
which was insane that they were able to up until then.
But it's also wild that-
Did you know she sold a bunch of Google before all this?
Oh yeah, well she also sold,
I mean her husband-
Did you see who came out?
Her husband sold a bunch of semiconductor
stocks before the legislation shit came out, um, that negatively affected them. But then
their response was, well, we sold it at a loss. Yeah, you sold it at a loss, which could
have turned into an even further loss. Boohoo. He's also the one who put up the bill to ban TikTok nationwide. Josh
Hawley, because he hates China. Go for it. Yeah. I think that they should be in
TikTok. Fuck it. Yeah. And TikTok is Chinese, but he said TikTok is Chinese
backdoor into American's lives. It threatens our children's privacy as well as
their mental health. I would agree with that. Now I will introduce legislation to ban it to nationwide.
Well, yeah, I don't know.
What's to stop a competitor from just coming in and doing it too?
TikTok?
Yeah.
I mean, can you say that about like Vine when it got shut down?
Dusty's true.
Dusty's true.
Ticketmaster
What about them? They got these monopoly hearings
Yeah, they've been trying to go after ticket master for years and it never fucking gets anyway
Yeah, but some people are saying that this is a a step in
In the you know, so now the DOJ is investigating live nation over whether the company has violated antitrust
law. So it could end up in another lawsuit. But either way, this is another example of,
here's the quote from, who was this? I can't remember who it was, but it's Mr.
Burthold. I want to congratulate you. That's the president and CFO of Ticketmaster. I want
to congratulate and thank you for an absolutely stunning achievement.
You have brought together Republicans and Democrats
in an absolutely unified cause.
And may I suggest, unfortunately,
approach today in this hearing
is going to solidify that cooperation.
It's not gonna amount to fucking a need.
Don't say that.
I've been, I've been.
Taylor Swift, baby, it's the power of Taylor Swift.
God, I remember back in the day,
you had to go to an actual ticket master counter.
I would go to Sam Goody and,
was it Sam Goody?
Or what the fuck ever it was,
and buy tickets in person,
and hope the person was fast enough.
Clickety-clackin' on the computer for me.
But part of the problem that I didn't realize is that,
I think, Live Nation, or one of the problem that I didn't realize is that I think live nation
or one of the other ones has a vertical stranglehold. They own venues now. They've got, they
handle and also every step of the way. Oh yeah, it's ticket master all the way down. Well,
and then some of them have years long contract. Concert promoters, venues, fucking deals with concessions. It's every step of the way.
People are talking about,
some artist was doing the breakdown, right?
If we sell tickets for $50,
it's like we're left to $4 ticket or whatever.
No fucking way.
I can't, man, there's so many goddamn notes in here.
Oh, here we go, ready?
Singer songwriter Clyde Lawrence from the band Lawrence
repeated many of the claims he made in a recent New York Times
op-ed, including a breakdown of how on a $30 face value ticket
that with Ants Lairdly fees cost around $42,
his band, the primary attraction for fans,
earns about $6 after it's been-
Jesus, eight.
So it's a $30 face value ticket with fucking ticket masters fees.
It goes up to 42
He makes six. You know what would solve this?
Pick coin
You son of a bitch crypto man. I thought it was supposed to solve this. I thought you can buy an NFT as a concert ticket
We're like go to fans direct, I don't understand why
in this day and age, you can't just go to fans direct.
It shouldn't be that hard to generate a QR code,
sell direct to fans and show it.
They can do it.
I've been to concerts where they warned you ahead of time.
If you can't go to this concert,
do not buy the ticket because it's non-transferable.
Right.
Yeah.
So I'm really surprised that they can't do that.
I mean, that is tough to not be
able to sell your ticket later if you can't go. You know what would be a great startup idea. So
give it to me. It's too good. We're going to cut it. No, it's a very simple. Anybody can basically
anybody can sell tickets to anything. It's a website where, okay, you're selling, you got the venue
with a thousand people and you punch that in,
hey there's a thousand things so it creates a thousand unique QR codes. You want to price it at
$30 a ticket and for the convenience of this thing they take 5% cut and everybody goes on this
unique URL that's created and you go and you buy the ticket and then it gives you your fucking QR code. Boom done. End of story. That should not be that hard to do.
I'm confused. What's confusing? Are you really going to take that?
What's confusing about it?
How is it different?
TicketSlave.com.
How is it different?
Ticket Master, TicketSlave.
How is it different?
It's different in that you're not charging exorbitant fees and it's your it's non-converge. I mean, have you ever used dice? No, yeah. I mean,
in board games. Dice is a it's basically a new marketplace for tickets and it's really
easy to use. I have a great app and they charge minimal fees So but it's I can only use it for what is it where people who buy tickets can resell them or
What?
Yeah, you can actually I think transfer your tickets. It's pretty easily
See I'm talking about just like if you are an artist or you are a venue and you don't want to use ticket
Oh, you could do that through like a vent right now. Oh
Well, then what the fuck is the problem?
Is it because people are in?
No, the problem is this.
They own the venues.
Right.
So if you want to play Madison Square Garden, you can't go, we're going to do it through
a vent bright or we're going to do it through dice.
Ticketmaster goes, sorry, you can't play.
You got to use our platform or you can't do it at all.
Well then you know what I, I've, there are, I've seen bands do weird tours.
I've been to venue, I remember the first time I went to what is it called city?
City Hall. No, that's probably owned by ticket master.
City Hall theater or something like that in New York.
Okay. Because it was one of the few that wasn't owned by ticket master
and they could do it through their own.
To a ticketing thing.
You have to find with they own everything.
Not me.
They can't get to me.
If they offered me enough, I'd probably let them own me.
But yeah.
So fuck ticket master is our conclusion.
I remember there was a lawsuit that got settled years ago and it was this-
Pearl Jam?
I don't remember.
But I got like five bucks.
Cool, awesome, thank you so much.
My man's gonna sneeze at five bucks.
I've been, I get regularly,
I get mail for like stock.
I get mail too, big deal.
I get mail for stock lawsuits,
but it's like you gotta fill out when you bought at what
price and all this shit.
I'm not filling out shit.
I don't know.
I still get mail.
There was this guy who...
I also still get mail.
There was a guy, let me finish.
There was a guy who did a stock pump and dump nine years ago that I lost a little bit of
money on.
He got sent to prison and I will occasionally get through the like federal witness like penpal program.
No, it's through like some federal witness protection. Hey, Ben prison is it's actually okay.
Sorry about taking your money. It's not bad, but he escaped. He escaped prison. And it's like we're
just letting you know that whatever's name Alexander Hawat May escaped prison in Portland.
I don't know. And then the most specific name ever. Well, I don't know Alex Hawat May.
Well, because I'm like, oh, wait, yeah, I do remember because they always have it his
thing. And then I'm like, oh, damn, he's on the lamb now. And then a few months later,
we are informing you that he was captured and put back in person.
I'm like, whoa, I should have kept those.
Interesting.
It'd be cool being on the lamb forever.
Yeah.
Well, I think it's about time that we do that thing, our headlines.
Right?
Are you okay?
You're going to be okay?
No, I just, I hope this can turn it around. I hope this is the thing that turns it around.
Yeah, well I hope you feel better. I feel fine. I don't, you don't look okay.
You're in a weird mood. For the audio listener, he's very pale and shaky.
I'm just turning green. I'm withdrawing.
He's holding his breath and crossing his arms. I'm withdrawing.
withdrawing? You should be depositing. That's holding his breath and crossing his arms. I'm withdrawing with drawing. You should be depositing
That's the trill either mindset. Okay, hang on
Well, here we are back again at the thing
Tag team back again party on party man my shirt stinks. Let me tell you this thing
Let's go great. No that my shirt. I need to wash this thing
Let me tell you this thing, Bucket Creek, no, my shirt, I need to wash this thing.
That's gross. So here we are, TNN, we call this Trillionaire New Seeds Network.
Sometimes, and we could change the name whatever we want.
Yeah, we could change it, probably.
Actually, maybe we will, yeah.
So, I don't know.
Don't get too attached to this.
Also, we might just decide to cancel this at a new point.
We might just cut it, okay?
Because you guys don't seem to like it that much, though.
You liked it the one time, and now had the kind of force to do it.
We're just trying to please you people.
Well let's get right into it then with this first story.
According to Cointelegraph.com, the cryptocurrency website, cryptocurrencies are the second most
widely owned asset class for women, second
only to cash. That's right. And the third most owned asset class for women? Shopping.
Interesting. Would you look at that? That's really interesting data.
The US Food and Drug Administration took new steps Tuesday aimed at reducing young children's
exposure to lead in baby food.
The FDA issued a draft for proposal limiting how much lead should be present in some process
baby foods typically eaten by children under two years old.
We had one of our trillionaire mindset producers, polls some under two-year-olds.
Oh yeah, what did they say?
Very interesting. They had this to say.
God! God!
Baaaah!
Baaaah!
God!
So, kind of interesting to get that perspective. BAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Oh boy.
Okay.
I don't know how I talk that.
Woman founded startups raised just 1.9% of all venture capital funds in 2022, representing
about 4.5 billion out of $238.3 billion
in capital allocated according to TechCrunch.
So where are all the female founders?
Well, according to Trillionaire Mindset's Emile DeRosa,
maybe if some of these women would spend
a little less time shopping
and a little more time creating startups,
they could level
the playing field.
Think about it.
Just saying.
Popstar Justin Bieber has sold his music rights to Blackstone Inc.
backed hypnosis songs capital.
The Wall Street Journal previously reported that the deal had an expected value of around
$200 million.
Justin has come under fire from some of his fans who said he has sold out,
but he prefers the term taking a paycheck from multinational private equity firm that
is destroying the Amazon rainforest. Stupid fucking. No, that was good, dude. That was
good. You should have consulted me first, because you could have said, oh, baby, baby,
baby, money. See, that's what I would. Do you think that's a better punchline? Yeah, totally.
I'm not saying mine was good.
I'm pissed at the way.
Or I would have just said, when reach for comment,
he said, I love my wife, Hayley Bieber.
Oh, you know what I should have said?
He loves his wife.
Justin Bieber can now finally afford
the Hayley Bieber smoothie at Air One.
Oh, man, that's been so good.
Do you want to take it again?
No, it's too late actually. Oh boy, this week
the popular and controversial AI program known as chatGPT passed an MBA exam administered
by a Wharton professor and a test required for medical licenses. Pretty impressive. To celebrate,
chatGPT went out with some business school buddies, did a few lines of coke and fucked
up freshman econ major pretty wild pretty wild stuff
you guys seen this one folks the the Oscar nominations are out people are pretty excited about this
oh yeah yeah your favorite movie on there this year anyway the Oscars failed to nominate any
women for directing this year following two consecutive years of women winning the category women
have won the category the past years and row with Chloe Zhao taking home the twenty twenty one
prize for nomad land and Jane campion scoring last year for power of the dog
what asked for comment the president of the academy for motion pictures arts
and sciences said seems like women were too busy shopping at this year to
direct a decent film
and these women do certainly be shopping.
Not only are the women who work here at TMG Studios though,
they don't have time.
That's gonna save us.
Yeah, no, it's cool.
Man be shopping too, just not us.
You do, because you bought a car.
You need to buy a car.
That is certainly true.
Man, that lead in the baby food, huh?
Give him more.
Let's see what happens.
Was that a good joke?
Yeah, yeah, it was really good.
It was really good.
You just kept going, which I found fun.
Yeah.
Alright, should we jump into what else do we have on here?
Oh, you know what we could do?
We could talk about the crypto corner
because we haven't done it in forever.
Should we?
Yeah, okay, why not?
Crypto corner.
Shut up, though.
Mara-la-di.
Wow.
New crypto corner.
Yeah, it was written by Paul Simon.
I've been listening to a...
Hey, oh hey, crypto coin, that's today. B-Doo, B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B- And it's seven minutes long. That isn't I've been listening to a lot of Paul Simon. Okay.
Especially 1990s. What is it the rhythm of the Saints?
African drum the rhythm of the African drum. How dare you that's his whole thing, right?
No, oh he got kind of into it for Graceland in the room. It's in two albums. What the guy live. Yeah, all right
well, so
This board apioc club game who get you know what I'm so relieved about though is that you don't hear about I know
It's funny because this came out and then someone also tweeted that it was either yesterday or the day before that one
One year to the day. It was Paris Hilton on Jimmy Fallon going like, I copied you. I got a board
eight. I got a board eight. And he's like, no way. Yeah.
No way. Well, so they got a game. But guys, board eight dot club is back. If you thought
they went away and that your fucking ape was worthless, think again, because we got to
take a little look at this game. Yeah, let's start it.
Yeah, let's start it.
Because you gotta know what's going on in the story.
Lots happened in the swap recently.
Let's recap.
We started down here.
First annual ape fest.
Oh, we got over here.
Oh, who could forget that?
A whole bunch of other really cool stuff took place in between haus and back. Wait, what the fuck is this narrator?
Did they just- what- what the fuck is this?
Who created this? Is this the official thing?
Yeah, that's what's weird. They have so much money or they had. I don't know.
But it was always like this. It was always like thrown together bullshit.
Yeah. Invest a little more money into- you've had a year, dude. Yeah, invest a little more money into it. You've had a year, dude. All right, continue
To the trial of Jimmy the monkey. Oh, right, right
We all started when Jimmy took a shit so a ton
Damn hole in the space time. He took a shit so that's funny
That's funny
The mysterious box the key from another universe but instead of opening it, they partied.
And now the key is inconveniently stuck inside Jimmy's back door.
Oh no!
Uh, Wahzu, Chocolate Pocket.
It's his butthole.
How it comes to us to open that box?
That's so funny.
The long way around to get the key.
Through the suit.
No way!

God Whatever happened with Seth greens. Oh that horrible TV show. Yeah, I
Don't know it didn't look like or maybe it's on the fucking
Blockchain somewhere we can access it. Yeah, well you need a dukey pass to be able to watch Seth greens show
can't access it. Yeah, well, you need a dukey pass to be able to watch Seth Green show. All shit coin holders as of January 20th. Shit coin holders or butt plug. It's just fun
because a lot of people were like, it depends how you look at it, right? This FTX stuff,
it means a lot of these unserious people are gonna get out of the crypto game.
And then crypto is like, nah dude, we're doing dukey dash.
Yeah. Nah dude.
It's just, it's such a, it's such a really stupid, tragic, obvious money grab kind of situation.
And it just bums me out.
Like I can't imagine owning one of those things
and faking being excited about it.
Duky that, like look, it's finally here.
It's finally the, the purpose of crypto
has fully been realized.
We've found a use case, it's Duky Daz.
A game that nobody can play unless they own the expensive digital thing.
And it's also a shitty game.
Look, it's pretty simple.
You need one ape.
Sure, you get a leg up if you have a mutant.
And if anyone has a dog end of mutant,
you're gonna be down.
Yeah, cool.
Wouldn't it be smarter than to just create a game
that people can buy on Steam for five bucks?
And you can just make a ton of money there?
No, wait, you would have to be a good game. Good game and you'd have to put effort into it.
Not to be a super dad.
Creatively fulfilling and challenging.
Yeah.
How's your Bitcoin?
It's up now, huh?
I don't know, yeah, it's a 23,000 right now or something.
Well, that's how much a Bitcoin costs, right?
Yeah, you bought it at like 17, didn't you?
I bought some.
Bitcoin.
Yeah, Bitcoin's doing okay.
I think they finally might have shaken off the cobwebs of the FTX scandal.
Yeah.
And then there's another one silver gate.
Is another.
Isn't that the bank?
Yeah.
And then there's that's from I think they were heavily invested with FTX.
Right.
And then there is enough. Another one SBNY. I don't know. There are another bank. I think they're heavily invested with FTX. Right. Yeah. And then there is another one, SBNY.
I don't, there are another bank.
I think they're a Canadian bank that was...
Also, I'm sure a lot of people have heard it.
Worth mentioning, I'm pretty sure I'm blanking on his name.
John Ray, the guy on winding FTX has said,
if there's a viable path, they want to resurrect it.
Resurrect FTX?
Yeah, I mean, I don't know.
There's a lot of ifs, huh?
I guess.
But it's crazy too.
I mean, who's gonna get into that after?
I, yeah.
Well, actually maybe, now, it's like, okay, yeah,
there's no, it's kind of like flying on an airplane
on September 12th, 2001.
What are the odds, you know? We're planes flying on September 12th, 2001. What are the odds, you know?
We're planes flying on September 12th?
No, but you can imagine.
Sure.
Or like a week later, whenever they were.
You probably feel the safest you've ever felt on a flight.
Oh, damn.
Nobody's gonna do anything.
No way.
Or like flying the day after a plane crash,
like, oh yeah, statistically, there's no way that this plane is going to crash. Yeah, but I still, I'm always
too jittery. I'm, I tell like, think about it. Because of a crash or because of a terrorist attack.
Both. Yeah, well, I wouldn't worry because statistically, you're, you missed the anomaly.
Yeah. You missed the one. So good for you. Unless it's a situation like the 737 max,
which was tragic and entirely preventable.
This is you talking to the person next to you.
Look, unless this is a 737 max, we're doing all right.
What are the odds that a terrorist is gonna take this one over?
Yeah, I mean, I did check the...
She's just ripping the armrest.
I did check the manufacturer's badge
in the doorway before getting on.
And this plane was manufactured in 1993.
So it's probably past its flight cycle date,
but they've probably refurbished it
and checked all the joints for cracking and metal fatigue.
But, you know, who knows?
What the way unions are, they probably don't let anybody work
over time and
Yeah, no, I'm sure it's safe though
How long was it before you could fly again? I I don't know I think it was a while because there's that there's that Broadway play about
9-11
Okay, what else could it be about September 13th?
Two days later. that's wild.
Oh, there's a whole Broadway play about the people
who were strained, I think one of them got re-routed
to fucking Newfoundland or something.
No, the Pentagon.
No, no, no, that one was always going to the Pentagon.
Oh.
That one, no, no, no.
One of the planes flying around from New York
or something got rerouted to somewhere in Canada.
And there's this whole play about these Canadians
welcoming these Americans in.
Oh, that's sweet.
All the Poutine you can eat.
Yeah.
That shit's gross.
Poutine is gross.
I mean, I look at that and I think farts in sleepiness.
That's just gonna make me happy.
It's something not great.
It's tired.
Gravy and potatoes is objectively good.
That's true.
But the cheese curds is weird because it doesn't taste like how it would look.
Also, I'll say I avoid the cheese curds.
Just put gravy on fries.
Yeah, or like regular cheese, not curds.
Right, what are we going to say?
If you're gonna give me something that looks like Feta, just give me Feta.
Oh, no, dude, you do not want Feta on there.
Really? Why? It would be good.
Tangy. No.
Hmm. Well, should we wrap up or we add a time?
I don't know what time we're at.
Okay. Well, folks, this episode was a stinker.
You mean we're right write looking back on it turns out
It was a stinker. It's okay, but I'm gonna get some dye coke in me. Do you think it was a stinker? No
You liked it. Yeah, we never do stinkers. Oh, I like this attitude. Yeah, we never do stinkers
We're always good this shirt those things. I'm like trying not to breathe through my nose right now.
What does it smell like?
It just smells, yeah, just, but like beyond BO.
It's, is that like the vegan version?
Yeah, it's, it's just fucking.
Come on, please don't like it.
I'm dying for it.
Oh yeah, good, good job.
Fuck me.
What do you, you only wear it here?
It's not like you're working.
Yeah, I know, but I've, I've swat,
I wore it from a wedding and then I brought it straight
here.
You watched after the wedding.
I did it was I didn't dance or anything.
That's the rule.
I don't dance.
I'm not watching.
Yeah.
Well, that mean you say, I don't know.
Okay.
We got a lot to cover in the after hours.
I don't know what the fuck.
Resvani is or Florida. Oh, Florida. That's right. No, I'm kidding. I don't know what the fuck. Resvani is or Florida. Oh,
Florida. That's right. Now I'm kidding. I knew that.
Oh,
