I don’t know what the correct watch-house ratio is, but I’m fairly confident it should round to zero
So, uh is Milo still part of the show? Cause it seems like its been a long time since he was last on.
He is on tour
Bridging loan guys assuming they know how trustworthy a client is despite their lack of expertise call that the Duncan-Krieger effect
Perfect.
Riley, will you be starting a breakfast podcast after Bones, and will it be called Chew Factory
Can't believe you made November podcast from the bottom of a plastic cup this week
The big short for billionaires
Where’s Milo…
consensus is that he's basically a popular enough standup comic now that he no longer has the time to host this show
Getting charged for fraud by the current DOJ is frankly impressive
I feel that the police not listening to that guy when he said he had been stabbed is less a story of, you know, the police being so steeped in anti-racist indoctrination that they automatically believe the brown guy, than of the police having a general contempt for the young. The way a lot of officers seem to understand their role is essentially to protect middle-aged affluent people from scurrilous teens doing anti-social behaviour. While he was bleeding out they were talking to the guy like he was a bothersome child. They saw him as a social problem to be managed, not a person to protect.
exactly. The right (not that Nowak was right-wing) is finally getting the experience most normal people get from the police and it's driving them nuts.
hi, just noting i still no very little about finance but i do know about guys, especially ai guys, and i am very good at doing research and my primary industry in education is collapsing so if you need someone to do more guy research, ft…
So I tried to find Emilia Carrière... "Whoops, that page is gone"
...turns out the waybackmachine got it!
In regards to the intro, I was talking with a black guy and a brown guy, and instead of having a race war we decided to go get brunch.
00:55 seconds in with an autogyno-town joke Nova is putting up Canes v Vegas from last night numbers
Canes v Brumbies numbers you mean! (Just putting this out there to investigate the intersection between TF and NZ rugby fandom. Boy, what a match)
If, tomorrow, I tell the press that, like, Konstantin Chaykin has made a Minions watch, nobody panics, because it's all "part of the plan". But when I say that little old Dick Mille will release a watch with a smiley face, well then everyone loses their minds!
oh last time i went out for coffee I ended up refinancing myself four blue market atomic reactors. didn't make it to the coffeeshop tho
It took them 35 minutes to reach for a Mumford and Sons joke. Well done!
As a recovering watchhead, I heard the words "Richard Mille Smiley" and felt it connecting with November a fraction of a second before she made that sound like a psychic boxing hook
Hrm... named Rob... That's going to get confusing. Mind if we call you Gareth?
Gareth is the role, not the name of the man. Thus it is 'his excellency the right honourable Gareth of the Trashfuture, ser Robert Smith, first of his name, breaker of yet more bad news'
That Mads Libs-ass description of a financial grenade is causing me psychic damage
Put a cop on the Isle of White and they still complain about diversity 🙄
