pump.gov ft. Molly White
Molly White joins Hussein, Riley, and November to talk about the role of Cryptocurrency in the incoming administration, specifically synergising their desire to "trigger the libs" with their desperate need to grift the morlocks who worship them. Also, Cooler Screens' war with Walgreens heats up, a stand up comedy scene develops on the moon, and yes - any hand gesture Elon makes is by definition a Nazi one.

38:36 Hard dated the ep AND reminded me of when I also nearly pissed and shit myself.
You CAN block those alerts in settings :)
Can anyone please post the link to the Cooler Screens Article?
I haven't been to a Walgreens in awhile, but I took some archival footage of the fridge door TVs when they were functioning: https://www.flickr.com/photos/54866255@N00/albums/72177720323470374
Dumb question and I'm sure someone has thought of it. But is all the billions of AI training hardware gonna be shifted to crypto once everyone admits AI use cases are limited?
sounds likely, a built-in hedge like AppHarvest tried doing
Cooler Screen guy, arms out straight: THIS IS A CRUCIFIXION!
"Fridge magnet" killed me
Sympathy with Nova over the alerts. we had one in my location in November and it went off whilst I was wearing headphones and nearly deafened me
Y'all need one of those screens
I was in a movie theater watching “Uncut Gems” in January 2020, and one of the big beeps went off on every phone in the place due a nearby Amber Alert (US version of Child Rescue Alert) and I think half the people shat, half had a panic attack. I did both.
Yeah, the Amber Alerts were so frequent that I had to unselect them from the emergency notifications
They should have used the tag line Argo: Go Apple Yourself
Well seeing as the screen doors ended up in El Paso, I think they’re destined to be built into a Stargate facility
Finally something Nova and I disagree on, Stargate was great
The subject was noted to have spoken in what has been described as a 'Sephiroth' manner
'I would like to remind the Right Honourable gentleman that when I stood before conference and launched a policy that amounted to the mildest social democracy that would tangibly benefit the nation, I was, in fact, deep in a K-hole. Utterly off my tits.'
They're going to bombard Iran and then launch Challenge Coin
Elon doing the LBJ Aquacar bit in a Cybertruck and electrocuting six major world leaders
One of your best titles in months
As someone who works at a Walgreens competitor, I do want to say that, from my OWN experience with the near-DOD levels of subcontractization and proprietary technicification of our photo development and Self-Checkout stations, this is ENTIRELY believable to me that Walgreens would allow a third party capability to perform a massive DOS where the service being denied is "being able to see through the refrigerator door."
The crypto thing is particularly surreal for me because I was a massive drug addict that got into it in 2015 for the sake of buying shit on the darkweb.. at the time in genuinely had a real use in my life and became a full-on crypto fan boy. Now that I'm clean it has become apparent to me that that is literally the only legitimate use is buying drugs and all this "legitimization" is pure fraud
I feel like drug dealers have got to want to use a stable cryptocurrency not a speculative asset that’s also a Ponzi scheme
Riley accidentally called it "the Tresident" around 33 mins and I think this needs to become the new word for this new bullshit in 2025.
Chapo had an interesting take on what Trump thinks about Musk's nazi salute. He might like it because it takes some of the media spotlight off of the nazi shit Trump has done this week
Ok so I thought I had seen cooler screens in Las Vegas because once I went to a chevron with horrible flashing screens and slot machines in lone mountain. As it turns out no, even this gas station that I remembered as being horrible and overstimulating and basically emblematic of how garbage Vegas is (such as signs flashing to say fruit but fruit that was like gross or rotting and like ass quality) - they were not dumb enough to put the flashing stupid signs ON THE DOORS OF THE COOLERS!!! https://imgur.com/a/mzmVGip
that emergency alert tone is deliberately designed to induce maximum pants-crapping fear
due to local application my brain screamed AMBER ALERT when i heard it
Cooler Screens is not a good product, but it has a soft spot in my heart because I ended up in a Chicago Walgreens on my first date with my now wife and the terrible idea just kind of glided over my mind because I was otherwise besotted.
they say that if you look into the cooler screen while it's bricked, you see the person you'll marry
November's "Na-Barron Trump" joke didn't get enough gas that was impeccably good lmao
Literally thought I had an Amber Alert for a sec.
I love going into my local Walgreens and all the coolers are just a black screen of death
Elon makes me so furious though even compared to the other oligarchs, especially when I see someone like Starmer offering up mild criticism of him, because I'm like - this was YOUR guy, centrists! He was the example, in your insane child-like soup-brain ideology, of the Übermensch who had created his own purpose in society, 'innovated' his way to the top of your precious 'knowledge economy', using his techno-wizard skills to supposedly make the world a better place with his shitty cars and fabricated schemes to build physically impossible transport infrastructure! He and Gates were the Good Billionaires set against Bad Billionaires like (thunder crackling sounds) Zuckerberg or Murdoch or the Kochs, because these people can only ever see the world in terms of individual acts, and now that Musk has revealed himself as a completely mental Nazi they have the fucking GALL to airbrush all that out of history and add him to the pantheon of Bad Guys who are all collaborating with Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping and Donald Trump to do Brexit again every day and violate the precious norms. Because of course there never has been any kind of 'power structure' at work anywhere ever, what are you, some kind of woke Maoist Corbynista Lexiteer SWP trans lobby tankie shill who wants to instantly send anyone who's ever interacted with money to a gulag?
tbh sending everyone who's every interacted with money to the gulag is a very funny idea in my current depressed brain. We all go just to find everyone is also there...
I wish more trans people knew you can just buy actual HRT from like an online pharmacy in Micronesia rather than trying to like do the bathtub estrogen thing 🤷🏼♀️
God I'm going to need this podcast to get through the next 4 years, and it's always nice seeing Molly white on here again, I've just started following her YouTube channel for the newsletter. Good stuff guys.
"Your honor you may have heard testimony from current and former staff that I'm an asshole." Huh. Never thought I'd relate to a CEO about anything, but here we are.
Molly is right this is degen Barron trump term
Would you guys mind calling him "alleged sister fucker sam altman" whenever you mention him? I feel like that ought to be emphasized
probably not a good sign wrt the continued atomisation of society that a big beep sound emanating from my phone feels like a shared cultural moment
Millennials: 9/11 Gen Z: COVID Gen alpha: the big beep
On Elon's future at DOGE: in amongst all the nightmarish nonsense of his first 48 hours of rapid fire EOs was the one that establishes DOGE... As the US DOGE Service. Which is the new name for the US Digital Service. Which is chartered to update software and hardware. The world richest man has become the White House IT guy. Listen, if we were reading about the crazy new ruler of Ankh-Morpork, this would be incredibly funny
Mad King Trump: the Terry Pratchett book no one wanted.
"World Liberty Financial" has such big "Prestige Worldwide" vibes
Musk living the South African Dream as he gives the Nazi salute to a crowd of hooting white people who are the unwitting cultural enforcers of his own material dominance... I hope he also dies in his bunker
See, I am lathing that he bungles his exit in his bunker, and goes on trial at The Hague minus the lower half of his face, is convicted, and dies by firing squad.
Trump put a freeze on all NIH funding, communications, and medical research grant applications so we're pretty well past the trigger the libs stage
Jesus...
