Speaker 1: It was like sunny this morning and then it rained
Speaker 1: and now it's sunny again, And make up your damn mind.
Speaker 1: This is not what I signed up for. It's not
Speaker 1: what I'm paying for. Frankly, right, thank you. Paco. You
Speaker 1: are a personal finance a finance expert. A recent episode
Speaker 1: of your show, you compared how we view economics today
Speaker 1: and how people in history viewed astrology. I really loved that.
Speaker 1: But yeah, you have a way of like breaking down
Speaker 1: kind of finance in a way. It's the first time
Speaker 1: I've heard someone talk about finance that my brain and
Speaker 1: didn't immediately want to like sprint out of my body
Speaker 1: and get out of the room. So yeah, congratulations. You know,
Speaker 1: I try really hard to just like make it not shitty,
Speaker 1: because it's already so shitty. It's already so boring. Like
Speaker 1: I just got tired of seeing like a website with
Speaker 1: like an old white guy on a sailboat and then
Speaker 1: like a closeup of a watch. I was just like
Speaker 1: there's gotta be like a better way to talk about right,
Speaker 1: exact guy, you're gonna see you're gonna spend your want
Speaker 1: to spend money on sailboats and watches. Yeah. So I
Speaker 1: feel like I'm kind of trolling the industry and everyone
Speaker 1: on the internet is cool with it. They're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: let's yes, we've been waiting for you. Well, let's make
Speaker 1: fun of technical analysis by you know, comparing it to
Speaker 1: astrology is like two middle fingers up in the air
Speaker 1: and I'm and I'm stucked about it. Yeah, and also
Speaker 1: shout out to astrology. Yeah, shout out to astrology. Let's
Speaker 1: not throw the baby out with the bathroom, that's right.
Speaker 1: But also so like in terms of like fine ants,
Speaker 1: like when you like, I see all these videos online,
Speaker 1: if guys who are just like, uh make a you know,
Speaker 1: if you're not making four hundred thousand dollars a month,
Speaker 1: I'm embarrassed for you. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, there's so those guys.
Speaker 1: To me, I'm like, those are yeah, those guys are cool.
Speaker 1: So what what uh so, how do you make four
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars a month? Well, I would my My
Speaker 1: my first tip is if you can get some generational
Speaker 1: wealth and have a very rich father. That's gonna be
Speaker 1: my number one takeaway. Yeah, the second option. Yeah, that's interesting.
Speaker 1: We'll come back to that one. Um. All right, Paco,
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to know you a little bit better
Speaker 1: in a moment. First, we can tell our listeners a
Speaker 1: couple of things we're talking about. There is an overall
Speaker 1: scam vibe to today's stories. The guy behind the Don't
Speaker 1: Say Gay Bill recently pled guilty to COVID relief fraud
Speaker 1: and is facing thirty five years in prison, so we'll
Speaker 1: just do a little dance on his career's grave. We'll
Speaker 1: talk about Sofia Coppola's daughter debuting on TikTok by like
Speaker 1: taking over one of her parents' accounts and being like
Speaker 1: I recently, I'm grounded because I tried to charter a
Speaker 1: private helicopter to fly me from New York to Maryland
Speaker 1: to have dinner with a camp friend. Speaking of generational wealth,
Speaker 1: but fly me to my room. Well, we might even
Speaker 1: talk about Cameron Diaz's comeback movie, which is apparently troubled
Speaker 1: behind the scenes, and not for the reasons that I
Speaker 1: was expecting. It has to do with they like Jamie
Speaker 1: Foxx recently had to fire a bunch of executive producers
Speaker 1: off the film, and like, it turns out one of
Speaker 1: them was trying to scam him for a bunch of money.
Speaker 1: So it's like things are just like falling apart. We
Speaker 1: mentioned this on yesterday's episode. But it's just the quality
Speaker 1: of everything is just diminishing, and everyone's just scrambling around
Speaker 1: trying to feels like the end of the Soviet Union. Yeah,
Speaker 1: a little bit, like everything's crumbling and everyone's trying to
Speaker 1: get into everyone's pocket. Yeah. We might even talk about conspiracy,
Speaker 1: theorist dating sites, all that plenty more. Maybe not any
Speaker 1: of it before we get to it, though, Poco, we
Speaker 1: do like to ask our guests, what is something from
Speaker 1: your search history? Well, I have some boring things in
Speaker 1: there as of late. But I did watch Uncut Gems
Speaker 1: for the first time over the weekend and I loved it,
Speaker 1: and I was so emotionally invested. And then I had
Speaker 1: been reading articles or seeing things lately making fun of
Speaker 1: like all these pretentious assholes who are just you know,
Speaker 1: they're like part of the cult of A twenty four
Speaker 1: And I was like, yeah that, you know, I'm in everyman.
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not like that. And then I watched
Speaker 1: this movie and I'm like, God, damn it. Every great
Speaker 1: movie I've seen recently is in A twenty four production.
Speaker 1: So I've been googling, you know, what's the next A
Speaker 1: twenty four flick? I should check out. Yeah, they really
Speaker 1: are doing it. They've they've had a pretty good run.
Speaker 1: It's all hits. I mean, it's if it's all hits,
Speaker 1: it's a lot of this. Yeah, and then it is
Speaker 1: it's all They're They're good, Like most of them are
Speaker 1: just really beyond good movies. They make bangers. Yeah, they're
Speaker 1: coming out with bangers like on the regular, to the
Speaker 1: point where when you see A twenty four in a trailer,
Speaker 1: you're just like, this is gonna be good. Like I'll
Speaker 1: pay attention to a trailer. Yeah, right back. We've talked
Speaker 1: about this on trends, but definitely in the A twenty
Speaker 1: four fan club. Oh yeah, like Mirramax had that for
Speaker 1: a little while kind of but you know, spread too
Speaker 1: too thin and also just a hugely evil company behind
Speaker 1: the scene whatever whatever happened. But yeah, there hasn't really
Speaker 1: been a like a label like I think Magnolia was
Speaker 1: for a while. I feel like run, I guess yeah,
Speaker 1: but yeah, A twenty four has been like the production
Speaker 1: company of note for a while, like they're the one
Speaker 1: that people like, people know like A twenty four, Like
Speaker 1: it's usually like you guys say Magnolia, and I would
Speaker 1: venture to guess that most regular people are like, what
Speaker 1: the fuck are you talking about? That's the name of
Speaker 1: the movie. Yeah, name of a movie. But even Mirrimax,
Speaker 1: like people like, yeah, I think I know, you know,
Speaker 1: like if you mentioned what was the one back in
Speaker 1: the day that had the unicorn, Trystar Trystar, Yeah, like
Speaker 1: maybe people would remember that, you know, oh yeah from
Speaker 1: their childhood, but no one knows production company names. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but A twenty four seems to be like the one
Speaker 1: that people are like, oh, it's A twenty four, that's
Speaker 1: what's up. It's also the one that they're the only
Speaker 1: ones trying to make movies that aren't Marvel movies. I feel, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's true large experience. So paka, what is something that
Speaker 1: you think is overrated? Oh? My gosh, like the Internet
Speaker 1: in general just being on all the goddamn time, and honestly,
Speaker 1: I don't know how you guys do this daily show,
Speaker 1: because that means you have to consume a tremendous amount
Speaker 1: of media in order to talk about a tremendous amount
Speaker 1: of media. And I don't. I don't do a daily show.
Speaker 1: I do some weekly stuff, and I still have to
Speaker 1: consume a tremendous amount of media. And sometimes I just
Speaker 1: want to lay down and look at the clouds and yeah,
Speaker 1: just be high with my friends and like, really, why
Speaker 1: you're not making four hundred thous dollars a month? Right there? Bro,
Speaker 1: that's right. You need to get on your grind grindset.
Speaker 1: I think I called it the grind set mindset, mindtality,
Speaker 1: which I do feel like I could turn down to
Speaker 1: do a thing. Yeah, on TikTok, I get your mind reality.
Speaker 1: The secret is I have just a garbage dumpster for
Speaker 1: a soul. Yeah there's I got three first blood vessels
Speaker 1: in my brain and I made it work. The view
Speaker 1: listeners can't see this, but my eyes are just completely red. Yes,
Speaker 1: blood vessels, just nothing but first capital Eric. No, it's fun.
Speaker 1: We have a great staff, we have great writers and researchers.
Speaker 1: So that's that's how we do it. To be honest,
Speaker 1: to be completely honest, and yeah, not fun and I'm
Speaker 1: a guest toast, so I just I just come on
Speaker 1: every once in a while to make that voice, to
Speaker 1: make that voice. Yeah, that's it, and sometimes I do that.
Speaker 1: That's it. That's my life. Yeah, what is What's something
Speaker 1: you think is underrated? That's a great question. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: come in hot with some corny stuff and say right
Speaker 1: on brand. What is underrated? Is you know, saving a
Speaker 1: portion of every dollar you earn. That's underrated. Not everybody
Speaker 1: does that. I feel like people. I feel like people
Speaker 1: think they need to be making four thousand dollars a
Speaker 1: month before they start to save a single dollar. And
Speaker 1: that's a flout logic. You should be saving whatever you
Speaker 1: can start where you are. Okay. So consistency and the
Speaker 1: boringness and the power of consistency I think is very underrated.
Speaker 1: And so you just have to be very kind of
Speaker 1: mindful about when you make money, like to always just
Speaker 1: be putting somebody like, how does like a brind full
Speaker 1: mindfold a grindfull mindset, grindset mindfulness. That's it. Yeah, grindset
Speaker 1: mindfulness is exactly. It's gotta be something, there's gotta be
Speaker 1: already a thing. Grindful. I don't it sounds kind of
Speaker 1: like dirty in a good way. I'm into it. I
Speaker 1: want too. Yeah, but how yeah, Like you are there
Speaker 1: tricks for saving a portion of every dollar? Like, how
Speaker 1: do you see people put that into action? So an
Speaker 1: ordinary person who's scared of money like me. Okay, So
Speaker 1: if you're an ordinary person who's scared of money, and
Speaker 1: you also receive a regular paycheck, the best thing you
Speaker 1: can do is just leverage the technology that we have available,
Speaker 1: and every time you get a paycheck, it's you make
Speaker 1: an automatic transfer. So you get out of your own
Speaker 1: damn way by doing that. But a lot of us
Speaker 1: people who are making stuff on the internet where we
Speaker 1: work for ourselves. So if that's your status, then you
Speaker 1: have to take the time I would say once a
Speaker 1: week or every other week when you pay yourself, you
Speaker 1: also have to save a bit. It's more manual and
Speaker 1: it sucks, but you have to get used to the pain.
Speaker 1: Otherwise you're just going to kick the can down the
Speaker 1: road and then before you know it, you're staring down
Speaker 1: the barrel of retirement and you're like, oh shit, I'm
Speaker 1: about to buy cat food in bulk, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Yeah, I can't buy this boat and watch exactly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you thought you wanted it. Grindfulness, you know, comfortable, Being
Speaker 1: comfortable with discomfort is a huge thing I've like, like
Speaker 1: I just have such a instinctual aversion to any sort
Speaker 1: of discomfortable, like uncomfortable thing, and like just in every
Speaker 1: part of my life, I've had to just really like
Speaker 1: whether it be paying attention to money or like having
Speaker 1: uncomfortable conversations, which for someone with social anxiety can be
Speaker 1: every conversation, like you know, just pushing through and making
Speaker 1: yourself do the uncomfortable thing. And like, I think there's
Speaker 1: a part of my mind that is like, well, that's
Speaker 1: just burning energy and it's actually no, Actually what when
Speaker 1: you do uncomfortable things that are like long term beneficial,
Speaker 1: it can be a generative and like help you you know,
Speaker 1: and it's a momentum. It's a good stress like we
Speaker 1: like exercise is a form of stress. Like there cortisol
Speaker 1: levels go up, you're putting like you're stressing your physical
Speaker 1: body out and people, you know, stress gets a really
Speaker 1: bad rep and I think it's obviously if it's chronic
Speaker 1: and it's really ruining your health. Sure, but there's also
Speaker 1: like nobody ever talks about how we need to continually
Speaker 1: like stress test ourselves in our lives and you know,
Speaker 1: our systems and our processes, and that's actually what builds.
Speaker 1: I know there's a problem with the word resilience, but
Speaker 1: you know, the ability to be more adaptable. How's that? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's good. Yeah, I'm gonna go stress myself out at
Speaker 1: the gym for a little bit later, just freak myself out.
Speaker 1: It is funny though, like as recently as the seventies,
Speaker 1: like that wasn't like working out like that. Have you
Speaker 1: ever seen the Arnold Schwarzenegger like bodybuilding documentary where people
Speaker 1: are just like they lift weight, it's just so foreign
Speaker 1: to them. I guess there's the joke about that an
Speaker 1: Anchorman where they're like disjogging jogging and don't know how
Speaker 1: to pronounce it. Yeah. Yeah, Like also in the seventies,
Speaker 1: like that's also when like the four one K came out,
Speaker 1: which is crazy, you know. So today it's twenty twenty
Speaker 1: three and we're just seeing whether or not that experiment
Speaker 1: worked out. And like right before, like decades before that,
Speaker 1: like women couldn't have their own credit cards through their
Speaker 1: own bank accounts. Yeah, it's really hardly that we just
Speaker 1: I would have had to pretend like stay in the
Speaker 1: closet and like marry some guys. So I could, you know,
Speaker 1: just live a regular ass life and like have access
Speaker 1: to funding or else be completely on the fringe, which
Speaker 1: is women establishing credit not on my watch, not on
Speaker 1: my watch, and yes it is my watch, I own,
Speaker 1: I own her watch. She's allowed to wear it, but
Speaker 1: we tightly restrict. Yeah. And then when they opened that
Speaker 1: Apple pay card, like there were weird things built into
Speaker 1: the algorithm. Then yeah, there I remember like Apple Wallet
Speaker 1: and Apple pey, like what whatever that Apple credit card
Speaker 1: was that they were introducing. People like looked and saw
Speaker 1: that like women were getting like different rates that were
Speaker 1: like assuming weird things about their ability to handle credit.
Speaker 1: That's so fucking weird. Man up. Yeah, oh all right,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we'll be right back
Speaker 1: to talk some scams and we're back. And um, Paco,
Speaker 1: I was listening to an interview where you were talking
Speaker 1: about like what made you want to write your book,
Speaker 1: and one of the things you mentioned is like that
Speaker 1: you were just looking at this world where finance is
Speaker 1: described in this really like strange way, and you mentioned
Speaker 1: that like hell is tied into it, and so I
Speaker 1: was just like that, that's always interesting, like America, America's
Speaker 1: obsession with hell, like the very early American texts of
Speaker 1: like Cotton Mather just being like we're all just on
Speaker 1: the verge of falling into hell, and like how that
Speaker 1: informs culture in America to this day. But I was
Speaker 1: curious to hear you talk about that with regards to
Speaker 1: finance in particular. Wait, before I tied into finance. I
Speaker 1: think it's really interesting that you pointed that out because
Speaker 1: you guys earlier at the top of this show, we're
Speaker 1: talking about that about how everything is going to hell
Speaker 1: in a handbasket because you know, scams and stuff. So
Speaker 1: I think it's really fascinating that that's such a permanent
Speaker 1: fixture in our culture, this field of like fear of hell. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're in hell. Yeah, my famous catchphrase, we're all in hell.
Speaker 1: I'm having a great time though, good right right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: people go to hell. Yeah, it's like a party where
Speaker 1: you don't know if things are going to go terribly wrong. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: When it comes to personal finance, and I would say,
Speaker 1: particularly with debts, what I was trying to unpack and
Speaker 1: understand is why we have such strong ties to morality
Speaker 1: and why people have this, like people feel a sense
Speaker 1: of moral obligation to pay back what they've borrowed. And
Speaker 1: I can understand that kind of from an arm's length,
Speaker 1: but like when you double click on it, you can
Speaker 1: start to see like a history of like the Catholic
Speaker 1: Church and when it broke and we had that like
Speaker 1: Protestant Reformation thing happened, and it all had to do
Speaker 1: with with like with debts, all right, But then if
Speaker 1: you zoom out even further, like ancient societies have always
Speaker 1: felt like a debt to the gods, so they would
Speaker 1: do animal sacrifices or human sacrifices, they would you know,
Speaker 1: there was all of this. This idea of debt has
Speaker 1: been with society for I think as long as humanity
Speaker 1: has been around, and so I just really wanted to
Speaker 1: explore that. I think what makes people like my shit
Speaker 1: when it comes to finances is I'll just zoom all
Speaker 1: the way out and say like, hey, guys, we're just
Speaker 1: these fleshbags sitting on a rock that's hurling through space
Speaker 1: and time, and yeah, you should have like an emergency
Speaker 1: fund and stuff. That's cool. We should do that and
Speaker 1: put money chare for one k, but like your actions
Speaker 1: and energy reverberates into the universe forever, so like be
Speaker 1: about that vibe, Like I can hold those two things
Speaker 1: in the same breath, but also not make it about
Speaker 1: like you're shitty because you're not following along to what
Speaker 1: God said you should be doing, so you know, and
Speaker 1: all of that just comes from being an intersectional person
Speaker 1: growing up when I grew up where I grew up,
Speaker 1: being the person that I am, being queer and always
Speaker 1: feeling like I had to kind of negotiate or understand
Speaker 1: how people were going to perceive me and then try
Speaker 1: to make them comfortable so that I was safe. That
Speaker 1: that's a part of my upbringing and that just permeates
Speaker 1: my work and and then the health thing, like the
Speaker 1: Christianity thing. Why are we I'm just a curious individual.
Speaker 1: And the more I learn about money, the more I
Speaker 1: try to understand anthropologically, psychologically, evolutionary, biologically, like the weirder
Speaker 1: it is, the crazier it is. The more I'm seeing
Speaker 1: that everything is super connected and it's just a fascinating
Speaker 1: thing that we've created here. Yeah, it's all made in
Speaker 1: like our own like the we built a system. We've
Speaker 1: been talking about fractals a little bit on the show lately,
Speaker 1: and like the these small patterns that then get like
Speaker 1: blown up into massive kind of patterns that look exactly
Speaker 1: the same over the course of like an entire civilization
Speaker 1: or over the course of all of history. And yeah,
Speaker 1: it feels like we've built a economic system that mimics
Speaker 1: how the like very first, you know, people in America
Speaker 1: with power felt about themselves and with regards to God.
Speaker 1: And now you know, people are like, my credit card
Speaker 1: debt means God hates God is mad at me. You know,
Speaker 1: it's like a three hundred years later Jesus. I feel
Speaker 1: like another parallel too, is that all finance to me
Speaker 1: sounds like priests talking, you know what I mean? Like
Speaker 1: the like I feel like the entire financial industry is
Speaker 1: kind of there's a language. It's like learning. It's like
Speaker 1: the reason the Catholic Church was doing everything in Latin,
Speaker 1: you know, exactly, because it was like, well, no one
Speaker 1: understands this, This isn't for the peasants. As far as
Speaker 1: I can tell, CNBC, is it or what's the financial one?
Speaker 1: Is it ms? As far as I can tell, CNBC
Speaker 1: is in light completely, I completely like I don't understand it,
Speaker 1: and it makes me feel like, oh, that's that's above
Speaker 1: my pay grade. You guys can you guys can run
Speaker 1: all the banks and stuff like, you know, like you guys, yeah,
Speaker 1: do do whatever it is you gotta do with the
Speaker 1: you know, the securities, uh stuff, and you know, so
Speaker 1: then the rest of us kind of just back out.
Speaker 1: And we also take their word, like financial people's word.
Speaker 1: It's like it's like a priest. They talk directly to
Speaker 1: the money god. You know, they they personally, they have
Speaker 1: a personal relationship with the invisible hand of the free market.
Speaker 1: So you know, I will let them. I've been on
Speaker 1: the inside and it's just like mad boring. It's like
Speaker 1: so painfully annoyingly boring. And I have a very high
Speaker 1: tolerance for boring shit. I realized that about myself, and
Speaker 1: I do wonder are they making it boring on purpose?
Speaker 1: Are they just boring? And then sometimes they take a
Speaker 1: left and I'm like, does everything in society now have
Speaker 1: to be entertaining? Is there a problem with that? And
Speaker 1: I kind of feel like, yeah, the answer is yes,
Speaker 1: Like I'm literally trying to entertain people, like do stupid
Speaker 1: shit about finance and then trick them and then be like, Okay,
Speaker 1: let me teach you a quick lesson for these five
Speaker 1: seconds that I'm holding your attention, and then do something
Speaker 1: weird and unexpected. Again. Yeah, it's just it's a weird.
Speaker 1: It's a weird thing that we've created, and I agree
Speaker 1: with you it definitely. It's kind of like the law
Speaker 1: where it's terrifying, you don't understand what the hell is
Speaker 1: going on, and then you have to pay somebody to
Speaker 1: help you navigate it. Yeah, you know, in theme of
Speaker 1: a scam, in theme with this today's episode. Well, fortunately,
Speaker 1: the law experts are usually pretty kind and you know,
Speaker 1: on the up and up, absolute law yours. I think
Speaker 1: they're called, yeah lawyers. Yeah, warmhearted individuals trying to do
Speaker 1: the right thing. Never likes. All right, so let's let's
Speaker 1: get into one of the scams of the day. I'm
Speaker 1: not going to ask you to explain what it means
Speaker 1: that the FED just hiked rates despite the bank turmoil,
Speaker 1: because I don't even Yeah, well that, yeah, we'll just
Speaker 1: let them do that, and yeah, they know what do
Speaker 1: I know? It to the adults? Finally, adults are doing stuff.
Speaker 1: But uh so you might remember the guy who introduced
Speaker 1: Florida's Don't Say Gay Bill. His name is Joseph Harding,
Speaker 1: and he claimed that the bill was about defending the
Speaker 1: most awesome responsibility a person can have, being apparent, and
Speaker 1: therefore we can't acknowledge anything except my very strict interpretation
Speaker 1: of who should like who in in schools was basically
Speaker 1: his thing. You know, as a as a new parents,
Speaker 1: I want to say that being a parent means that
Speaker 1: you just you, you take your kid away from anything,
Speaker 1: anything that might, you know, make you uncomfortable personally. Exactly.
Speaker 1: It's not really about the kid as much as it
Speaker 1: is about just like, don't embarrass me. You know. That's
Speaker 1: that's that's me out with my child at any point,
Speaker 1: just like you're being weird right now, and then just
Speaker 1: making sure that no one else embarrasses my child further
Speaker 1: or me. Yeah, don't say gay is what I'm saying. Yes, exactly.
Speaker 1: So anyways, that same person pled guilty to committing one
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty thousand dollars in COVID nineteen relief fraud,
Speaker 1: faces up to thirty five years in prison. So you know,
Speaker 1: so you's so good, you gotta teach your kids to
Speaker 1: be on that grindset mindset, you know. Yeah, but so
Speaker 1: Harding took COVID relief funds intended to aid struggling small
Speaker 1: businesses by using the names of dormant business entities and
Speaker 1: claiming that they were still in operation during the pandemic,
Speaker 1: which they weren't. The businesses were the vacshack, which is
Speaker 1: a store selling discount vacuum cleaner bags. Oh wow, yeah,
Speaker 1: I wonder why. I don't know, that's a great question.
Speaker 1: I was just talking to somebody about how strange it
Speaker 1: is that there are still like the places in this
Speaker 1: world that only sell vacuum cleaners, like they're just like
Speaker 1: coasting off the inertia of that being I guess, like
Speaker 1: a business with good margins. But it's like, I, you know,
Speaker 1: you never see anyone in there. There's enough for a
Speaker 1: breaking mortar store, though, I can't vacuum store. Guy, it's
Speaker 1: probably a front, right, it's gotta be. It's yea almost yeah,
Speaker 1: But then a vacu like going being like, no, the
Speaker 1: vacuum store is actually not specific enough. Yeah, just go
Speaker 1: drill down to vacuum cleaner bags. Nope, actually still not
Speaker 1: specific enough. I want a corner only the market of
Speaker 1: discount vacuum cleaner bags. We're ross for vacuum cleaner bags.
Speaker 1: Don't buy any of those fancy, brand new ones. We
Speaker 1: have some irregular bags, you know, going against the grain
Speaker 1: everybody else like Walmart, all these big box stores or
Speaker 1: places where you can get everything. And he was like, nah,
Speaker 1: I'm going to rivaccheck. We got Hoover discount vacuum bags.
Speaker 1: We have i robot ones. So the Roombot vacuum bags
Speaker 1: also crack coo cane in the back, right, yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean definitely Joe's backshack. Yeah. And then he had another
Speaker 1: one that was a supposedly a forty six acre horse
Speaker 1: and cattle facility. Now that he was smart to keep
Speaker 1: nice and vague, so nobody really knows what that means.
Speaker 1: But it hadn't been active since twenty seventeen. And so yeah,
Speaker 1: that's how he's showing his kids what's up. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's uh, you know, I love the thing is now
Speaker 1: at this point, every time there is like a morality
Speaker 1: police who a self appointed deputy of morality, the morality police. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: they always like this always happens. There's always something. There's
Speaker 1: always it's just like it's just it's inevitable. You just
Speaker 1: wait for it. And then it's just like, you know,
Speaker 1: it's like all the people who are just like groomor
Speaker 1: groomer groomer, and then they're all arrested for having like
Speaker 1: child porn and stuff, and you're just like, it's just
Speaker 1: it's just the next legical step. You just know it's
Speaker 1: it doesn't even it's not even fun anymore, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. It's not even like poetic anymore. Like
Speaker 1: I used to have fun when I would be like,
Speaker 1: look at that, isn't that some poetic irony? And now
Speaker 1: I'm just like, can can we stop with the it's
Speaker 1: cliche now, it's cliche. Stop with the cliches, guys, please.
Speaker 1: It's just it's almost as if if you publicly, you know,
Speaker 1: try to ridicule others about morality, it's almost as if
Speaker 1: you're trying to cover up something each and every time,
Speaker 1: every single time. Oh my god, It's like I'm not
Speaker 1: even offended that these guys are getting in trouble for
Speaker 1: these things. I'm offended that they're just so hacked. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just like, guys, get some new material. If this
Speaker 1: was pitched in a writer's room. In succession, they'd be like, okay,
Speaker 1: but like we need something else. Yeah, it's just although
Speaker 1: the stupidity of the business is that he was trying
Speaker 1: to make happen is kind of pretty succession level funny.
Speaker 1: That's true. Yeah, you could see Kendall Roy just pitching
Speaker 1: Joe's vaccheck to merge with the business. Yeah. And then
Speaker 1: on another parenting front, end scam front. So Sofia Coppola's
Speaker 1: sixteen year old daughter went viral after posting a TikTok
Speaker 1: in which she I'll just read the quote from the
Speaker 1: video because it's pretty it really, it just really gets
Speaker 1: into it. People are calling it the best couple of
Speaker 1: films since Godfather, too, she said, So she just opens up,
Speaker 1: make a vodka sauce pasta with me, because I'm grounded,
Speaker 1: because I tried to charter a helicopter from New York
Speaker 1: to Maryland on my dad's credit card because I wanted
Speaker 1: to have dinner with a camp friend. That sentence, you know,
Speaker 1: it's Hemmingway esque, you know, like will just like go
Speaker 1: on one of those runs short sentences and then follow
Speaker 1: it with a bunch of and then because because because yeah,
Speaker 1: pacing it and this is just breakneck right out of
Speaker 1: the gate. That. She also goes on to say she
Speaker 1: doesn't know the difference between a garlic and an onion
Speaker 1: and had to google image search pictures of onions. She
Speaker 1: then like cuts a shallot. I believe she's sixteen. Cool, Yeah,
Speaker 1: she is a child. Like that's what I thought, Like,
Speaker 1: I like, it's just a like, I kind of am
Speaker 1: just amazed. It's it's just a little pinhole into the
Speaker 1: world of being, of being a copla, of being somebody
Speaker 1: who has enough money that you have to be Like,
Speaker 1: we need to change the password on the credit cards
Speaker 1: again because our kids are trying to They're trying to
Speaker 1: they keep trying to charter. Yeah. Yeah yeah. She also
Speaker 1: says her parents have banned her from having any public
Speaker 1: social media accounts because they don't want her to be
Speaker 1: a nepotism kid. Yeah that'll stop it. H Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, the only way to stop this, they don't
Speaker 1: want a nepotism baby. They got to murder their child.
Speaker 1: There's yeah, but I mean wait, but she was posting
Speaker 1: this on social media though, right, Yeah, I think she
Speaker 1: took over she stole it. Parents account also like their
Speaker 1: credit card, and then like towards it. This this video,
Speaker 1: by the way, which you know I'm summarizing as if
Speaker 1: it's a feature film, is forty five seconds long. Of course.
Speaker 1: Then her babysitters boy friend shows up and she says,
Speaker 1: my parents are never home, so these are my replacement parents.
Speaker 1: And then she's heartbreaking. I know, it's like super heartbreaking.
Speaker 1: Then she asks her babysitter's boyfriend what he thinks of
Speaker 1: the helicopter fiasco, and he says that he thinks she
Speaker 1: should call it fiasca because it's like a feminine fiasco.
Speaker 1: Ya queen, So you know they still got it, those
Speaker 1: Coppola's and their babysitters boyfriends. Why why is the babysitter's
Speaker 1: boyfriend there. I don't I don't like. I mean, I
Speaker 1: guess if at this point, if the babysitter is essentially
Speaker 1: raising this baby, then then maybe they really are her
Speaker 1: replacement parents. But it's just feels a little weird to
Speaker 1: have the boyfriend just like, hey, what's all, Oh, I'm
Speaker 1: just here just grabbing this plate of gobbel guel. You guys, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, keep keep doing whatever you're doing. I don't
Speaker 1: like it. It's a good. It's a good gig if
Speaker 1: you can get it. Yeah, boyfriend of Coppola's babysitter. Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: I mean, uh, it's it sucks because it's like I I,
Speaker 1: you know, I of course am not defending any rich
Speaker 1: nepotism babies or whatnot, but I do appreciate that Sophia
Speaker 1: Coppola and her husband we're like, we don't want you
Speaker 1: on social media, and she just ended up doing it anyways.
Speaker 1: By like like that to me is like that there's
Speaker 1: some normal kid trapped within that, you know, who's just
Speaker 1: like there. She's acting out in the ways that she
Speaker 1: knows how to, which is like stealing parents credit card
Speaker 1: and trying to charter a private helicopter. Yeah, it's it's
Speaker 1: a different it's a level of privilege. But at the
Speaker 1: same time, you know, we'd all try to do it
Speaker 1: if we had a helicopter to charter. Yeah, up, like
Speaker 1: a regular person would be trying to log into their
Speaker 1: parents like lift account or something, right, yes, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: exactly exactly. So putting that into a little bit of perspective,
Speaker 1: and then also, uh, you know, I kind of get
Speaker 1: the Sophia Coppola not wanting her to have a an account,
Speaker 1: like a social media account, so that you wouldn't become
Speaker 1: an epotism baby. I think it just is like, so
Speaker 1: I don't want you to be a public figure because
Speaker 1: then then you're going to just become like one of
Speaker 1: those many like you know, all those USC kids who
Speaker 1: like pretended that they knew how to ski or whatever
Speaker 1: and then they got yeah, yeah, and then they got
Speaker 1: into like USC like and so, uh, there's there's something
Speaker 1: admirable there, I guess. I mean my grinds grindfulness here
Speaker 1: that I'm thinking, Okay, what is the money making opportunity here?
Speaker 1: And it is an uber for or helicopters for rich
Speaker 1: people's kids, Like, oh, how does that not exists? Though
Speaker 1: it disappears after right, I mean, it'll appear on the
Speaker 1: credit card statement. But as you know, Luber was trying
Speaker 1: to do helicopters. Oh that's right, they did have helicopters.
Speaker 1: What they were trying to have the route be right
Speaker 1: over um the one ten, like the same route where
Speaker 1: that one it's like on the one ten I think
Speaker 1: where there's like a train there that takes you to
Speaker 1: I don't know where that goes because they don't. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but there is a train in the middle of the
Speaker 1: Oh yeah that yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah it was
Speaker 1: gonna So I guess they everything goes around that because
Speaker 1: they don't want to contribute to like noise pollution. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: which because there's only like forty helicopters every hour going, yeah,
Speaker 1: every house in Los Angeles because of the lap D. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they are. They just circle sometimes. Sometimes I just like,
Speaker 1: I'm like, you're bored. You're not fooling me. This isn't well,
Speaker 1: who are you looking for? Who could you possibly be
Speaker 1: looking for? You know what I mean, like helicopter important? Yeah,
Speaker 1: very frankly absolutely. Yeah. It's like we care so much
Speaker 1: about catching poor people that we are going to flash
Speaker 1: as helicopter's bright ass light into people's house. Is he
Speaker 1: in there? Jack fucking h Those guys the ultimate flex.
Speaker 1: So that's why we can't blame Sophia Coppola's daughter for
Speaker 1: wanting to totally take a take a helicopter. I mean,
Speaker 1: and I don't want to get in trouble with your audience.
Speaker 1: Obviously a cab. All couples are bastards, but I do
Speaker 1: feel for I mean, she's sixteen's yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: not I'm not passing any judgment, no judge. What a
Speaker 1: what a world we live in. Let's take a quick
Speaker 1: break and we'll come back right after that. And we're
Speaker 1: back and quick update on Dick van Dyke still alive
Speaker 1: in case, yeah, by the Google trends that I think
Speaker 1: there might have been. There's been multiple Dick van Dyke
Speaker 1: death hoaxes. But he was in a car accident and
Speaker 1: is fine but apparently is still driving. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: he is spry, you know. But yeah, police said that
Speaker 1: drugs and alcohol are not suspected. But it's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: just being ninety six is suspected, right, Like being ninety
Speaker 1: seven has to be the equivalent of at least a six,
Speaker 1: like at least Yeah, there is cognitive decline. It's a
Speaker 1: real thing. We're not trying to be agist. I'm not
Speaker 1: being agis at all. Yeah, No, I don't think elderly
Speaker 1: people I know are like, yeah, yeah, it's it's uh God,
Speaker 1: you can't say like anything I'm gonna say just sounds
Speaker 1: like it's biology. Yeah, you kinda, I mean, but there's
Speaker 1: also In twenty thirteen, he was rescued from a burning
Speaker 1: car on the California Freeway what oh so, like I
Speaker 1: just I don't know, Like maybe maybe maybe he's super lucky,
Speaker 1: you guys, Maybe that's really let's shift it. That's what
Speaker 1: it is. Yes, of how many? How many final destination
Speaker 1: asked death says he avoided? Like the burning cars? Like
Speaker 1: he's getting a car accidents every five Like, how is
Speaker 1: the ninety seven? This guy is? Really? He then tweeted
Speaker 1: a photo of the burning car with the caption used
Speaker 1: jag for sale, real cheap, true national treasurer best what
Speaker 1: a hero like? I was like ready to be like,
Speaker 1: we gotta because they are going to ask him to
Speaker 1: retake his driver's test, Yeah, which, yeah, absolutely, But after
Speaker 1: that tweet, I'm like, maybe we just let him do
Speaker 1: the driving for the purposes of high jinks and do
Speaker 1: it for the Yeah. If there's one guy who we
Speaker 1: know has experience tripping over ottomans, let's say, over and
Speaker 1: over and over, you can take a fall. He will live.
Speaker 1: So as long as he's not hurting nobody, if there's
Speaker 1: no collateral damage, let the man drive, that's all right.
Speaker 1: Cameron Diaz has been retired for four years, seems like more,
Speaker 1: but I guess she was in that Annie Re remake.
Speaker 1: That I didn't know she retired, did she was that
Speaker 1: like a publican official. Yeah, she was like, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: spend times with my spend time with my kids and so.
Speaker 1: But then she got brought back out of retirement by
Speaker 1: Jamie Fox, who has worked with her before on the
Speaker 1: remake of Annie and one other movie that I feel
Speaker 1: I feel like I should Oh maybe any given Sunday?
Speaker 1: Was she in any given? Oh? Yeah? Yeah yeah, anyways.
Speaker 1: The new project is appropriately titled back in Action. Yeah
Speaker 1: to Netflix movie, And so Jamie Fox convinced Cameron Diaz
Speaker 1: to return to movies, and he made the announcement via
Speaker 1: Twitter when he tweeted an audio recording of a phone
Speaker 1: conversation between himself, Cameron Diaz, and Tom Brady, who helped
Speaker 1: urge her to unretire like he did. Which that didn't
Speaker 1: go that well. So no, no, it did not. Things
Speaker 1: weren't real bad. I just feel like we never yeah,
Speaker 1: any anytime. And this is like there's also news of
Speaker 1: the Tarantino like tense movie that's supposed to be his last,
Speaker 1: and we're all just taking him at his word that
Speaker 1: he's actually going to retire, but there's it's just never
Speaker 1: happened before that a person says they're going to retire
Speaker 1: from an entertainment thing and I've never needed to keep
Speaker 1: doing stuff and has the self restraint to just stay retired. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but anyways, it's like LCD sound System's final tour, right,
Speaker 1: bunch of bulls the thing that came up the last
Speaker 1: time we talked about this. So now there are reports
Speaker 1: that it's just not going well. The on the set
Speaker 1: of the movie, Jamie Fox reportedly had a major meltdown
Speaker 1: over unspecified problems and fired four people an executive producer,
Speaker 1: two directors, and his own driver. And then like that
Speaker 1: feels a little Yeah, the driver sounds like collateral damage.
Speaker 1: He was like, he's like, he's like ring executive producers
Speaker 1: and directors and he's just like, and uh, sandwich, guy,
Speaker 1: you're gone at played a driver in Collateral So that's all.
Speaker 1: It's all coming back together. It all fits, but one
Speaker 1: of those So it all just sounds like standard, like
Speaker 1: there's arguments, disagreements happening behind the scenes, except one of
Speaker 1: those on set issues is apparently a complex scam to
Speaker 1: steal over fifty five thousand dollars from Jamie Fox. If
Speaker 1: you get a scam someone. I feel like you should
Speaker 1: go for way more, you know what I mean, what
Speaker 1: are they doing? Fifty five thousand dollars not enough to retire?
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to keep scamming. Yeah, that is very strange.
Speaker 1: Specific it's it's such a small amount for Jamie Fox
Speaker 1: as well, Like, was Jamie mad about it or was
Speaker 1: he like, ah, everyone tries that. Yeah, he was pissed.
Speaker 1: He was pissed enough to just like fire just everybody
Speaker 1: fire the driver within his eyesight when he found out
Speaker 1: about it. So production has now been paused, police investigation underway.
Speaker 1: Does it say what the scam is? What? What did
Speaker 1: he try to do? We just have like weird details
Speaker 1: that are like the scheme involved offering up a Rolex
Speaker 1: watch as part of the deal, and then the same
Speaker 1: person has been linked to previous attempts to extore extract
Speaker 1: huge sums of money from stars. So is this not
Speaker 1: a great hire for the feels very executive producer team
Speaker 1: of this film? Is this it feels like uncut gems.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm not gonna watch somebody with like a lot
Speaker 1: going on that's just trying to Yeah, yeah, yeah, but
Speaker 1: it just it does feel like and I think this
Speaker 1: was the context that it came up. The fractals came
Speaker 1: up last time was like that because we had a
Speaker 1: complete con artist get elected to be president, like that
Speaker 1: has to do something to like just that is going
Speaker 1: to start showing up everywhere. Yeah, we've now been like
Speaker 1: this is how you get to the absolute the top
Speaker 1: position that is so highly regarded that when you have
Speaker 1: that job, we can't arrest you, right, And it's not
Speaker 1: it's not just that he was a con artist, because
Speaker 1: like if you know, every politician in some sense is
Speaker 1: a con artist. It's that people realize you could be
Speaker 1: a really obvious shitty one. Yeah, and it didn't matter like,
Speaker 1: oh anyone can do this then, like yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: it's like you just you realize that, like, oh, people
Speaker 1: are a lot easier to fool than I had previously thought.
Speaker 1: And if that was your barrier for entry into the
Speaker 1: con man game, like after Trump, you're just like, oh,
Speaker 1: I think I could just do this to to anybody
Speaker 1: because it feels like people are way way dumber than
Speaker 1: I thought. And I mean we like it's not just Trump.
Speaker 1: There's also like super Bowl, like all all the Super
Speaker 1: Bowl commercials. Yeah, last year were her. You know, crypto scams, right,
Speaker 1: it's just all crazy, all that scams all the way
Speaker 1: down it turns out. And then you've got like, you know, uh,
Speaker 1: Jimmy Fallon and Paris Hilton fucking showing off their cartoon
Speaker 1: monkeys and and talking about it seriously as if its
Speaker 1: show to the audience earnestly, and the audience clapping as
Speaker 1: if they're showing a picture of their new baby, as
Speaker 1: if it's anything other than Yeah, you can't think of
Speaker 1: a more obvious fake thing, like a more obvious scam.
Speaker 1: Like I remember when you know, all of the NFTs
Speaker 1: came out. Everyone was just like, well, that's gotta a scam, right,
Speaker 1: and and people were like, no, you just don't understand it.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, And I was like, all right, you own
Speaker 1: the link, bro, That's what you don't get. You own
Speaker 1: that link. You own that link, and that link means something,
Speaker 1: means something in my okay, I don't know, Yeah, sure,
Speaker 1: but don't I also own like if I make my
Speaker 1: own Yahoo Geocity's website back in the day, don't I
Speaker 1: own that link as well. They're like, no, it's not
Speaker 1: the same things, Like, Okay, I don't know, man, But
Speaker 1: Hey you guys, Yeah, make spend money on the cartoon monkey. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think there's also like inequality is really awkward. It
Speaker 1: like it's awkward to navigate that in society. And I think, yeah,
Speaker 1: probably also the uptick in scams is a reaction to that, right,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Sure, like screw those guys.
Speaker 1: Let me try to take something from them they can
Speaker 1: afford it or whatever. Yeah, I mean I think, like
Speaker 1: I do look at scams from different lens, depending on
Speaker 1: who the victim is, and if the victim is going
Speaker 1: to be Jamie Fox, I'm like a little bit, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm not as outraged, you know, I'm not like, oh,
Speaker 1: how could you do this Academy Award winner? You know,
Speaker 1: it's just yeah, like, I mean, things have gotten worse
Speaker 1: with regards to like the ability for the uber wealthy
Speaker 1: to get like openly just get away with unfair business practices.
Speaker 1: Like we we've talked about the private wealth equity industry
Speaker 1: and how like these are the golden days because Congress
Speaker 1: hasn't passed a new tax for like billionaire families in
Speaker 1: twenty thirty years, and so what when you have like
Speaker 1: something like that driving inequality Not only is it infuriating
Speaker 1: and probably motivates people to like be like, well fuck that,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take as much money as I can, but
Speaker 1: it also is just like creating a society where like, yeah,
Speaker 1: those are the winners who who are like winning at
Speaker 1: this game as the rules have been defined to us,
Speaker 1: and they're cheating. So yeah, of course, like everybody that
Speaker 1: the part that goes unset, unfortunately is that they don't
Speaker 1: they get away with it, and lower level people who
Speaker 1: are just trend to Yeah, and they cause other people
Speaker 1: to lose their jobs too, you know that poor driver, Yeah,
Speaker 1: just trying to live, you know, just driving around one
Speaker 1: day and all of a sudden, Jamie Fox is mad
Speaker 1: and there's not enough gum or whatever. Yeah, I'm done,
Speaker 1: done zo. That's it has Pisani up in there instead
Speaker 1: of Fiji. Jamie Fox is just like, you know, sorry,
Speaker 1: get out, that's I'm driving from now. He'd yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's got it. There's a new driver in town. Oh,
