Sam Bankman Unfreed feat. David Z. Morris
We invited friend of the show David Z. Morris, author of “Stealing the Future: Sam Bankman-Fried, Elite Fraud, and the Cult of Techno-Utopia,” to discuss his book and some recent developments in even dumber AI. But the truth is, most of this episode is about a tactical chud bespoke suit company called Brimble and Clark. No matter how dumb you think it’s going to be, you’re not even close.

“FRIE” my man “FRIED”
Marco-terrorism using the old cudgel of communism. Extremely sad!
there was a tweet I’ll never find again but it was a picture of Jeffery Donovan portraying Steve Forsing based on real life Delta Force guy Mike Vining in Sicario (2015) and the caption was something like “men see this movie once and never get over wanting to be him” and now that’s an entire subculture
"Masculinity Cargo Cult" damn November that was a good one
every time I hear about Ray Kurzweil I'm like holy hell the inventor of the digial piano??? Actually yeah!!!
I wish i wasnt late to the party to.observe...my god they made a Bud K catalog for tech bros
It was 3 guys with a pencil which he indeed did find. By the way Elon Musk was in Iron Man 2 fanboying Tony Stark and Tony told him to fuck off. Never forget. Also in John Wick 2 John does get shot in the back and only survives because of his suit, he actually is pretty much constantly is saved by the bulletproof suit. These guys must think they’re better than John Wick if they think any amount of tactical chud suit will save them from getting shot in the back.
love is brimble, love is clark...
How's Riley's doo doo butt?
Is the kimono bulletproof and brimming with weapons?
recommending an origami customs gaff to my chud friend so he has more room for his concealed carry
Brimble & Clark, the perfect attire for your first day at the office for the Christmas Adventurers Club
David was a super interesting and articulate guest! Please more in-depth interviews and historical background on the TESCREAL psychos.
Everyone should listen to Articles of Interest's Gear series. It's about how the US military influences fashion. As a Bay Area native it's been a little sad to see the decline of the techies. Time was the guy who got rich by selling a start-up would just semi-retire and make beer or large-scale sculptures.
I have visited the location on Brimble & Clark’s website on 6/13/2026; it appears to be a residential loft unit turned into the show room. Idk how far the hosts want to run this bit (kpmg domain email ask😭) but I have enough information to book a consultation and ask them exactly who and what a Brimble is, and what Clark has to do with it. Idk if anyone else has experience with “you called me to action so I’m here”… what’s the best way to catch their attention? I’m not trying to take a few hours off work to pretend to be “vetting a suiting process for a director impressed by your client portfolio” if they’re not actually that interested in the bit
Daggers in the lapel sounds like they’re specifically trying for a callback to the OSS, except they famously stopped sewing them into lapels and collars because it started to be the first place nazis looked for “daggers” (they were the length of an average thumb) sewn into clothing. My point being, other than “hey, what fucking losers” , is that in an actual “situation” your captors would be ripping open every seam on anybody dressed like this, if they didn’t just shoot them first
Riley it's "Sissy" Graydon Carter, not "Low Energy" Graydon Carter, don't profane the sacred texts
Sorry November it is absolutely not ok for you to wear skinny jeans. Not in a transphobic sense but in a millennialphobic sense.
Ballistic movement is the motion of your body when you are fired out of a cannon.
The only challenge coin I have is from Oxford Nanopore, a British biotech company.
Well, as the world's shittiest leftist I actually work for the DoD in biodefense near DC. I will keep an eye out for a brumble and whatever suit.
going to an interview at Accenture in my Brimble&Clark and getting tackle-intercepted by security because it has been tactically ascertained that my ass is too bomb in this fit
sir the candidate has gone ballistic
Deeply depressing that the new Hugo Boss is just… loser suits for twats
Grayman and Co has been making shitty tactical suits for ages
The EA tech elitists have offloaded any responsibility for their actions onto the idea of a deity (tailored in their own image) that they imagine is telling them "yeah no it's cool, we're friends", meaning they've independently re-developed Protestantism. The neoliberals had their turn with subordinating their own ethics to only serve The Market, now I guess it's time for the worst fuckers you can think of to bend and twist society into only serving The God Of Being Good At Going On The Computer. I have a personal relationship with our savior the emdash and He told me everything I do is morally justified.
im a listener from NoVA but i have one of the few blue collar jobs left, if i encounter a suited chud its because something has gone horribly wrong
my experience with ox tongue is mostly as tacos de lengua so, yeah, probably different
Listening this while seeing a news story where a policeman in the UK is being investigated for using AI to create fake "evidence" to prosecute people
I've often thought that I'd like to look like a John Wick mini boss, but this is not what I meant
Stathams be Stathaming.
You guys could make a killing selling the titanium core John Wick tactical murder pencil
Like honestly, long slim titanium vape woulda been my go to. until your pitch crossed my desk.
So... they're re-inventing peacocking... Wait are these the same dudes that did Jorple's outfits? Oh no. They are not. There's multiple of these guys. Pan's Inflatable Goat, Why are these fascists so cringe? Why are they so fucking cringe. They want to be mafiosos so bad. Also I wonder what the menswear guy ... Did he cause this by clowning on their inept sartoriality? While Nova is correct in "autoandrophile" or what I have seen is also "MtM transmasc" but they're too misanthropic to be any sort of -phile.
Oh Ukraine first you sell drones to the Israelis then you refuse to assassinate human vessel A Tate
As best I can tell Brimble and Clark has that name to evoke British vibes. The D.C. Corporations Division shows neither a Brimble nor a Clark as members of the LLC. I did find an amusing interview with Mr. Asim Khan where he said he would not be taking on any COVID loans backed by the government, though. (The company took $17,190 in Paycheck Protection Program loans. Many such cases.)
Oh shit, Brimble and Clark is 12 minutes from my house! I’ve been looking for a suit that fits a dozen throwing knives à la Danny Trejo in Desperado…
God the tactical survival onion as reference point for how trans people think about existing in public is so fucking spot on
It's been a me thing for ages. The really difficult bit is that most of the slide is label'd "Don't be There" but I really need to be in most of the "Theres" I interact with (if only to show off).
elon musk is a trillionaire. the future is trash
Trying to pull rank with a business suit is so chud brained I almost respect the hustle of it
literally the business card scene from American Psycho but it's just ranks
25:20 I work at Microsoft and my boss's boss asked me to design a challenge coin for the team
Deepest condolences
So if you throw a glass of water on the dudes with magnesium buttons do they just explode?
To be fair, for the longest time they have been pretty desperate for milkshaking to actually be dangerous
The R in their font is obnoxious and only looks good next to a Y.
If only Brian Thompson had had a tactical suit 😞
As a professional in the dry cleaning industry for over two decades, no phrase from this podcast has scared me more than "magnesium buttons"
Noted, all my future dry cleaning will be lined with what I can only describe as emotional support fluorine
Brimble and Clarke is a law firm from Bo Jack Horseman.
