Thank you. gang gang welcome everybody in let's get into it what a what a time to be alive on x right now is my bad showing
is your bad showing no it's actually not showing that's that's funny let me click in
i see it it's okay now it is now it is okay i clicked it wasn't showing and then i clicked
into your profile and now it's showing it so it shows in the space now it's showing in the space for me oh it's popped up for me as well
fuck yeah so so okay so wait real quick because you showed us the logo files is this one of the
ones that they suggested or is this like one of the logos that they suggested with a different
color scheme yeah he put orange on the dick right that's what it looks like to me yeah well he took
the dick and he went with the pornhub colors colors. I see what happened here. Yeah, I sent them
I sent them Pornhub.com. I said
hey, can you just take all the design here
and put it on the logo and then make the logo look
The goal is to make people when they see
creator buddies is to get as
They say when people have a hard dick they're like 80
more likely to buy you know next thing you could actually have people on pornhub i mean they do
have comment sections you could have people use creator buddy they could write their comments
i might make a pornhub integration with creator buddy me and your father are so sad please come home uh yeah you never know so boys we uh we got the
crew in person the tech and tea crew uh the x-basis crew in person this past week uh in san francisco
we were hanging out or i guess menlo park um we went to robinett's headquarters we went to the
event what'd you guys think first time meeting first time for you two, or I think meeting in person as well, first time for me meeting Penny.
That was awesome. Yeah, mine and Penny's first time meeting in real life,
Wolf we've met before. It was sick. It was an awesome event. I'm trying to figure out today
how I can scrounge up more money to buy more shares of Robinhood.
I honestly might be more bullish on Robinhood than Bitcoin at this point. I think Robinhood's an easier 10x in the next five years than Bitcoin at this point. So I'm just looking to figure out
ways to scrounge up more money for that. I'm just so bullish on them as a platform. Trust me,
I'm not sponsored by them or anything. I just like fucking bullish. Um,
but it was amazing. It was amazing being up with you guys. It's a great podcast with Vlad.
Vlad is just an amazing CEO. Uh, so well-spoken, such a bro, such a dude. Uh, it was awesome. It
was good. Penny, even better looking in real life than I was expecting. I mean, he's good looking on,
I mean, he's good looking on fucking the internet, but he's even better looking in real life.
on fucking the internet, but he's even better looking in real life. So that was sick too.
I was just going to talk about how both Gavin, you are even handsomer in person than you
I had so much fun as well.
The Robin Hood CEO was just, I mean, a pleasure to work with.
I was so sad when his assistant cut the interview short.
I mean, I think we could have gone
for hours with him he was having so much fun and alex you were just heating up asking you know
those like sort of off the cuff hilarious questions that you would expect from alex and he was going
right with it like i mean i think he even sort of led you into it which was beautiful and uh i can't
when are we going to drop that wolf when are we going to drop that wolf? When are we going to share that interview? So the trouble right now is how do I get 500 gigabytes of data to my editors
in Europe, I have failed to upload it three times to a Google Drive that I upgraded to two terabytes.
So now we're trying some other softwares to help condense it. Worst case, I'm just going to mail
the thing to them over FedEx. But yeah, that's what's happening right now. So we do have it all set up. The editing team,
they're ready to go. So as soon as I can figure out the technology side of things, if anyone
has a very good tool that you can use to condense 500 gigabytes of video and audio files so that
you can upload them, here comes Hitchlap, Maybe he knows. Here comes action. Maybe he knows. That would be helpful for me because I have it all on a hard drive and
I am not certain how to actually get it over to them.
So that's the holdup right now. Uploading is hard, Wolf. I know it's been a challenge for you.
I've tried a few times, so I'm not really exactly sure what's happening there.
Yeah, things continue to happen, though.
I would say I wanted to get your guys thoughts because obviously it was super fun hanging out in person.
But X is on fire right now with everything that's happening in regards to tariffs and a whole lot of other stuff. I'm
going to save the Saratoga morning hustle porn and the Ghibli memes for our Tech and Tea Live
right after this. But we might not talk so much tariffs on there. So maybe we can talk a little
about them in here because things are just going freaking nuts on the timeline. My memes are
popping off. I had a good Robin Hood X tariff meme that Alex,
you commented on. Thought you might've liked that one. Uh, that thing's doing good. It's
almost at a thousand likes right now. I'm going to pin that one up top, but yeah, things are
going crazy on the timeline right now. What do you guys think? I'm like, I just, there's been
very few stories like this tariff story in my lifetime that actually ended up being as important as everyone's
making it out to be. I have a very distinct feeling a year from now, no one will be talking
about it. It'll actually have zero impact on the economy. We'll be right back up to all time highs
and this whole thing will be much to do about nothing. I'm not saying
tariffs are some like magic pill that's going to automatically solve our debt crisis and all that.
I mean, we've never done anything like this in our lifetime. So I don't know if it's going to
work. I'm not an economist, but I just have a very distinct feeling like we've just had a billion.
Oh, my God, the economy will never be the same events over
the last 10 years. And none of them turned out to be nearly as important as everyone's making
it out to be. So I have a very distinct feeling. Absolutely nothing will come out of this.
We'll be right back to all time highs a year or two from now. I don't think we'll ever have a
president that's just fine with long-term torpedoing the economy.
I think they're fine with short-term torpedoes. I don't think they're going to allow a long-term torpedo to happen. So I think this is just a crazy buying opportunity.
I mean, if you analyze it from the perspective of where were we going before, I don't think we
can continue to get all-time highs over and over again when we have an unhealthy economy, when we have a debt crisis, when we have trade imbalances. So I'm not a financial expert. I'm not an economist. I don't know a whole lot about how tariffs will work. But I do like to think about incentives. And I think there are a lot of good incentives that go along with the tariffs. It incentivizes other countries
to work with us and create a better trade deal. I think that's good. I think there's a lot of
countries right now that are taking advantage of us. It incentivizes us to do work in the United
States because you don't have to pay tariffs on anything manufactured here. I think that's
another good incentive. And I think hopefully you know, hopefully Alex is right. And
it's like sort of, we forget about it, but even if we do forget about it, that doesn't mean that
it didn't have an impact. We are just like, continue to make the same bad decisions. We
continue to get taken advantage of over and over again. I'm tired of the status quo. So whether or
not this is the solution, I think shaking things up is good and trying things new is good.
I think just continuing to like bend over and, you know, let other countries take advantage of us in trade is bad.
And I think, yeah, the economy just in general, like we almost take all time highs for granted, but doesn't just automatically work that way, especially if, you know, all of the manufacturing is moving other places.
work that way, especially if, you know, all of the manufacturing is moving other places.
And if over time our country is in decline, like you got to change things up. So yeah,
I'm just excited that we're doing something like doing anything at all.
Yeah, I think you hit the nail on the head there. A lot of good pieces here. Any other hot takes on the timeline things here?
Action, anything from you?
Everybody also, go like my tweet.
It's at the top of the space.
I need like, oh, no, I hit 1,000 likes already.
You guys are good, actually.
No, I was going to say that I don't think most people look at it the way that we just heard from Penny.
And I think that's the biggest piece of it all.
It's what's going to force people to do is actually come to the table.
That's the most important piece of it all.
It's actually having those conversations hashed out once again because if you think about the number of countries that are in the world and the tariffs going back and forth, dude, like it's wild to think that every administration has already gone through and talked to every single person.
They don't have an incentive to do that, but guess what?
When it's going to cost them more, when it's going to change the cost of goods for them,
they're going to come to the table.
There's no question about it.
You can't just be like, Oh, everyone let's play nice.
Let's just have fair trade.
No one give anyone tariffs.
If everyone is friendly, like the United States and then other countries are like, I'm going to take advantage. And they do until you press back like we need like a spine as the United States. We can't let the rest of the world walk all over us. I like to take care of those who are in need, but I definitely do not want to be taken advantage of.
definitely do not want to be taken advantage of. And I feel like, you know, we've just started to
be that country that lets everyone walk all over them like, oh, you're the big strong guys. So,
you know, you just kind of have to let it happen. No, I'm done with that. I'm sick of that. It's
the main reason why I'm excited about what Trump is doing in office right now. Like I said, I don't
really understand tariffs, but I do understand incentives. And I think that incentives make the
world go around. I think that incentives make the world go around.
I think that might be more important than understanding the economics behind it all.
It's like, what sort of incentives does this create?
When you look at, I think the one indicator that
people are really considering
from countries such as China and Japan.
You're a little hard to hear there, honey.
I think the thing that you've got to remember
is not just what we do, but how people
And when you see China, Japan, and South Korea all getting together I think the thing that you've got to remember is not just like what we do, but how people are reacting to it.
And when you see China and Japan and South Korea all getting together to address, you know, our decision to, for example, you know, bring semiconductor chips back into the United States. Or I should say, you know, tariff them and, you know, tariff other countries and, you know, bring the production over here.
And they decide to all get together when they don't really like each other very much.
I think that that's an act of desperation. People called it, you know, an act of essentially
retaliation. But I think they realized that when we bring, you know, by pressuring other countries
by tariffs, you know, other countries deciding to bring their industry here,
that will make a desperate situation for them in their countries.
And so I think, you know, action will make a difference.
And you can, I think the proof is in how other countries are responding
and they're not real happy about it.
I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if other countries are upset for sure.
be surprised if other countries are upset for sure uh i just don't think we'll ever get to a point
where trump or our government or any president lets it get out of hand right if all of a sudden
china is teaming up with every other country to like fuck us over like i just i just like i i
think this is the plan now if it it goes well, they'll stick with
it. If it doesn't go well, I think they'll change it. Right. I just think that's the, you know,
I just don't think we'll get into a situation where long-term we become a third world country.
Like, I just don't, I don't think they'll allow that to happen. This isn't, you know, they could
change plans, change things easily. So, you know, I'm not convinced this was the wrong move. I'm
not convinced this was the right move, but I am convinced that they won't let this be the end of america
the end of america the end of times all right that was just a little bit there on tariffs you
don't have to go too far into tariffs um i i actually emperor who's up here hosted a space
with uh the crew for eight hours yesterday.
Or nine hours, Emp? How long did it run?
I think I was 13 minutes short of nine hours on that Stocks on Spaces.
Martin Shkreli up there spitting his thoughts on tariffs.
It's quite the time to be alive.
We can rotate around and see what else is going on in the world of Vax.
What's up, Alex? Utopia? Yeah, hi, guys. time to be alive. We can rotate around, see what else is going on in the world of X. What's up, Alex?
I can say for sure, as a European citizen, some countries are upset, but I really don't
want to weigh in on that.
I wanted to weigh in on what you said earlier, Wolf, about X being on fire, about these kind
And me as a kind of marketer, I look at that closely in different niches.
on fire like right now is never before however i want to point out like me myself being um not
talking about politics i'm more in the creator sphere right because we notice that too because
we are kind of drowned out by that like a lot of creators and talk people talking not politics or
memes uh see giant losses and reach right now. And I'm
not a complainer, right? Just for the
overall picture, I wanted to point
Appreciate that, Alex Utopia.
out to you on the timeline? Anything interesting these
days? What's the most entertaining thing
Entertaining-wise, i think i've been seeing a lot of cat videos that are taking over my timeline um and other than that um i think uh there's a lot
of um creators who are actually focused on quality content now i think a lot of the engagement farming
has been dying out or at least like i since since I haven't been engaging too much with them, I just see a lot more quality content.
Other than that, I have a shiny new badge.
Yeah, super proud of Creator Buddy badge.
You know, for some reason, the badges don't show for me at first until I click into your profile.
And then when I come back to the space, now I can see the badge.
Yeah, that happened for me, too. I had to click profile. And then when I come back to the space, now I can see the badge.
Yeah, that happened for me too.
I had to click into Ani's profile to see it.
It matches Ani's aesthetic perfectly.
Penny, if you ever need to change your profile picture or name again, you want to keep your checkmark, hit me up.
You can get a shiny orange creator buddy.
It would match your copper penny too.
Waiting like almost five days was insane.
I did not expect it to take that long.
I already wanted to switch my profile picture again
within like 30 minutes of changing it.
And I really wish they would let you like
just keep changing it until you get to the front of the queue.
The fact that I couldn't change it again
and I was just stuck with this one for five days. Then I get my check my check back it's like are you really going to switch to the one you really
wanted and be you know checklist again for another week i i wish like it just seems like such an easy
win to improve that part of the product like one engineer for like one week it'll be so much better
come on x yeah here's how you improve it. You just get rid of
that system altogether and let people change their profile pictures whenever the hell they want.
Like, what are they verifying when you change your profile picture from a penny with your face on it
to a penny without your face on it? Do they go, hmm, okay, yep, that's definitely penny 2X. He's
not pretending to be Ryan Gosling. Give him the blue checkmark. What are they even checking for
when you change your profile picture? Yeah, I mean, I do like the idea of them trying to stop like me creating a fake
Alex Finn profile and copying your profile picture, like building up an account and then switching it
and trying to, you know, scam someone. But it just seems like they could do it a lot better than what
they're doing now. There's so many different things they could do. They could have like
pre-approved pictures, right?
Like what if I just send in a picture,
I didn't have to change my profile yet.
And then it gets approved after a couple of days
We can keep a list of all the ones we've already had approved
It just seems silly that it's as bad as it is.
It seems like if you tried to create
the most annoying system, what would you do?
You just set it up like this. You're missing the point, though. I think that this is more to do
with the fact that they're making money. People are actually signing up to pay for not only the
premium, but be an organization on X so that you can have that nice little feature. What are you
going to give them as a perk if that doesn't exist? Also, the resemblance between Ryan Gosselin and
Penny is uncanny. But wait, if you don't pay for it,lance between ryan goslin and penny is uncanny but wait if you
if you don't pay for it you could change it whenever you want so like how's that it doesn't
make any sense and then for penny i was so curious like why it took so long because i've seen people
getting their check marks back within like 24 hours even 12 hours for certain people like it's
i don't know why pennies was like took took like so long. It could have been, excuse me, partially because the X XAI purchase story,
like maybe, you know, there were things going on behind the scenes. It could also be because I
submitted it on a Friday night and the people who work on it were gone for the weekend and didn't
pick up until Monday. And there's like a big long queue of them. I think there's, you know,
had to do with that as well maybe pennies blacklisted but me personally i don't understand
what this system is in place in first place right no other social media platform on the planet has
this so i really wonder like well some some things just work as they are right don't need changing
like I say, all right, don't need changing.
Yeah. And then we're ID verified.
Like it makes no sense for someone who's so verified to have to go through
like a profile picture change. I'm not trying to like,
So you got to draw a little bit of your blood, verify it.
This is the only platform where like,
I have to worry about my reach going away because I changed my bio or I changed my profile picture.
Legitimately, every move I make on X, I have to think, okay, how is this going to impact my reach permanently forever?
Alex told me you can't comment on my stuff anymore.
He said it hurts his algo.
I'm like putting in my...
I sign up for the fucking thousand dollar a month
fucking badge and someone goes just be careful who you give the badge if one person in the
organization gets shadow banned everyone gets hurt okay now i have to be careful about who i
give a thousand dollar badge to because it might screw me like what is going on here what are we
doing i hear you by the way i'm gonna go to diligent and then i'm also gonna tell a couple
of since me Alex and Penny
We're all traveling the last couple weeks. I do have some wild travel stories
So i'm gonna i'm gonna gale you all with those but yeah diligent, please jump in
For one, I think the reason why x took so long to replace penny's badge is because it doesn't or pennies
Let me let me rephrase that.
I haven't finished my coffee yet.
So I think the reason why X took so long
to give your check mark back
is because your profile picture is ugly, right?
And they were giving you time to contemplate
how ugly your profile picture was
and wanted to make sure, you know,
that you weren't going to change it
you got the badge back I think that's what it is it's something about the color I don't like the
color I think you should have gone with a shiny penny instead of like there's a better one already
that's shiny it looks more realistic it would address all of the issues yeah yeah I know I had
it within 30 you have it's like a team of erosion I'm telling you, that's what it is. Somebody, one of our,
you know, somebody we know at X look at this and they're like, Oh my God, this is really bad.
We're going to give him an extra 24 hours, maybe an extra 48 hours to think about his decision.
And, uh, and he just went with it. So maybe that's what it is. I'm thinking God is probably
doing for you what you couldn't do for yourself. yourself, or at least give me the opportunity to make that jab. And then second off, I want to talk about
the tariffs. So the tariffs are a necessary evil, right? Anybody can go back and listen to Trump's
campaign promises. The campaign promises were this about the tariffs. It's going to be a short-term pain for a long-term gain, right? And anybody who understands
the economics of the process knows that, right? And of course, the mainstream media
are going to hone in on this as an opportunity to complain about the stock market and because
prices are either going to, you know, remain the same for a while or they're going to go up a little bit as companies adjust to the new dynamics.
But, you know, I would say in probably about a year, maybe two, George Santos thinks two years.
Things are going to get back to where they were supposed to be. And we're going to be in a different position as manufacturing bases move back to the United States because it's
cheaper to do so. So, cause the incentive is going to be reversed from what it is now.
I just wanted to throw that out there. And, uh, and the stock market was overpriced anyways.
Right. And so like coupled with fear fear and uncertainty because they don't know how the market's going to react and retaliatory measures are going to, coupled with the correction that was needed because there was a correction needed.
That's that's why the there's so much red candles today.
Yeah, there's there's definitely a whole lot that are going on in those pieces
diligent do you um find it interesting though like the way that they executed it and they rolled it
out where there were all these things that people pointed out one uh they put tariffs on an island
that has no humans just penguins um it's close to antarctica there there's literally no people
live there the population is zero they tariff them%, fuck them penguins. In addition with that, they also, like, apparently, I mean,
there were some things that, like, didn't go through, the Canada one didn't go through because
of some stuff in Congress. There was pieces today that, like, hey, some of them it's just going to
be 10%. They were supposed to be reciprocal tariffs, but some of the countries that dropped their tariffs still got tariff. It just seemed like
the rollout was a little clumsy. I think people miss the point of the tariffs. The tariffs aren't
necessarily all just about... Actually, they're not really at all. They're just a bargaining chip.
That's all they are. They're not meant to actually be in place forever. If you listen to Trump talk about the tariffs, he wants tariffs to be the same across the board, which is what it is in the United States, 2% to 3% across the board.
tariff for the united states on other countries that's what he's trying to get it to be right so
all of these extraneous terrorists and terrorists across across the board that are wildly high or
might not make sense they're all to get a governing body to come to the the the bargaining
the negotiation table so that's exactly what it's about and as far far as the island of penguins or whatever, fuck them penguins.
Hey, Alex, you should bring the CreatorBuddy account up here.
from the PC? That's smart, dude. That's smart!
No, what you should do is be
following this account. That's what the
Have you guys done any...
We can't even have a full stage anymore
because half of them are just
Alex, Wolf, and Penny secondary
accounts. That's fucking cool.
You know what? I got one too.
If you thought me bringing up
just my second account was bad, I have like eight more.
So don't tempt me. Yeah, do you want me
to start bringing them up?
We could just have a panel of our own accounts up here.
Stories from travel the last two weeks because almost died multiple times,
maybe three times, I would say.
And then also we just had some wild other things
that did happen throughout.
So first story is me getting absolutely triggering TSA while going
through the airport in San Francisco, leaving to come and fly to Fort Lauderdale. So now I travel
because I have this podcast with Alex and Penny and the Gigacast, shout out Tech and T, check it
out. It's up here on stage. I always travel now with like a full extra suitcase that is literally like my camera,
my lens, my mic stand, my mic, all that stuff.
The mic always sets off TSA's something inside of the suitcase.
They're like, they always pull it aside, the mic.
So anyways, go through TSA from Sam Fran.
The mic goes ahead and sets it off.
They pull the bag off to the side. They're like, all right, we're going to have to go through TSA from Sam Fran. The mic goes ahead and sets it off. They pull the bag off to the side.
They're like, all right, we're going to have to go through this.
They open up the bag and they're like, oh, is there anything in here?
I'm like, yeah, it's the mic.
Like the mic always sets it off.
So as they're like swabbing down the mic, they look at the bag and I have my chocolate
protein powder, my AG1, which I have every morning, which usually I put in my checked.
But this morning I had actually slept through my alarm, woke up to Evan banging on my hotel room
door about an hour later than I should have been up. Woke up to Evan banging what? On my hotel room
door because we were on the same floor in San Fran and was like hustling to the airport. And so I was
like, all right, I'm just going to put it in my carry on and I'll take the protein powder and they do on one sum through security. Big mistake. Do not put
any powders inside of your carry on if it's going to get pulled aside. TSA flips shit. I'm like,
this is Costco chocolate protein powder. They're like looking at the thing like it's cocaine,
like a bag of cocaine. I'm like, who makes chocolate cocaine? And so they're starting to like just
swab my whole bag down. And they're like, all right, sir, we're gonna have to do a pat down.
I'm wearing like shorts and a tank top. There's like nothing that I could be hiding. So they
swab me and pat me down. Guys, I'm gonna use the back of my hands on, you know, your private areas,
all that stuff. And then they put the swab into the machine and the machine pops up with a big
red X and it goes and I'm like oh fuck
he goes sir we're gonna have to do a a little more thorough pat down I'm gonna use the front
of my hands this time so they basically just grope me in front of like everyone in SFO and
they do another uh thing that one passes and then I'm like all right can I go and they're like no
if there's a powder involved we have to get a specialist and so this guy pulls up with like a
lab kit looking like Walter White and he's like is there anything in the bag i should know about
i'm like dude it is costco chocolate protein powder like this is you're that's like three
dollars in there and so he just starts doing like lab tests on the protein powder meanwhile
our plane is already boarding um so anyways they ended up lab testing for like three minutes um i
was like kind of had that moment
of pain i'm like what if chocolate protein powder just has like you know reacts to this this thing
in some way that it shouldn't but luckily it did not and i was able to thankfully finally get
through run to the gate um got onto the plane and it worked out so that was my my first story of
shout out uh do not put put powders into bags that you
have an idea are going to get fooled aside. TSA will freak out on you. It doesn't matter what it
is. Yeah, that's what happened. Was the cavity search a part of that security check?
You know, I'm going to keep that one to to myself but definitely there there are some hands involved
it's not gay if it's tsa just putting that out i actually did wear my it's not gay if it's tsa
shirt for that day for the occasion specifically you waddled quickly to the plane instead of ran
waddled quickly coughed a few times uh what's up that's that same thing happened to me so uh i have two young sons and um we had
unopened like a brand new like formula right just just milk powder so similar situation
and yeah the whole lab kit i'm getting patted down in front of everything my my kids looking
at me like what'd you do wrong dad Like I went through that whole scenario because apparently the, uh, the high mineral content and some of those powders for, uh, for formula,
they, they, they triggered for explosives. So I, I, I was accused of having explosives
in the baby formula. And I went through that entire scenario that you just laid out. So
if you ever have kids, just a heads up, you may want to go to TSA a little bit earlier.
If you're traveling with them, what are you feeding your kids, just a heads up, you may want to go to TSA a little bit earlier if you're traveling with any foreign touch.
What are you feeding your kids?
They're growing boys, right?
If you just put the kids in your checked luggage, then you don't have to worry about that problem.
With the kids in the checked luggage.
I mean, it was about a five-hour total trip,
so there was no way we were going to make it to the destination
without needing some formula.
And there was just, I mean, yeah, full lab kit, full pat-down.
I mean, back of the hands.
It's so funny the way you described that,
because it was exactly what happened to me.
It was back of the hands first, and then the lab kit guy comes back,
and it's like, I see it on the screen.
I see the big red thing, and it said, like,
explosives detected on the screen. And I'm like, Oh boy. I'm like, this is from, this is like infamil from
Walmart. Like, I mean, it was brand new too. Like they, they opened it right there in front of
everything. It was sealed. And I still went through that entire scenario that you just laid out.
If I ever get dragged through those scanners where you have to like put your hand above your head and it does the scan.
I think it's because I had hernia surgery, but every single time they have to grope my balls.
Every time it lights up right in my groin section.
Every time I get the back of the hand, it's like, I just know.
They've never seen anything that small go through and they're checking.
I've never had my bald ropes going through security
at an airport never know one because they think you have a vagina no no i think yeah see see for
me it's this abnormally large problem i talked about the hernia surgery but that's not it
so well you joined the ag1 pyramid scheme that's a that's the thing you decided to do
i am part of the ag1 pyramid scheme. I've
probably been taking AG1 for about a year and a half now. I hear everyone tell me that. So here's
what I hear from people. People don't say that it's bad. They just say that you can get the same
thing for three times less and it's you're just paying for name brand value. That's what I hear
from most people. I don't know. I feel good i don't drink uh coffee or caffeine or anything like that
ever i haven't had caffeine in four years so for me ag1 is kind of like my little morning pick me
up also it's very similar to coffee i am straight to the bathroom um so it does both those things
for me so it kind of replaces it yeah i mean you shit it out because there's absolutely nothing
of use in it so it goes right through you at your asshole.
Maybe that's why coffee does the same thing.
Maybe I'll start making bowls of age one and dipping my face in it for my morning routine just to piss you off.
Can you leg press more than me, though?
Have you gotten there yet?
You have multiple kids, and apparently that gives you leg press super strength from what I've seen.
So give me like 10 years, and we'll take you up on that one.
I did hit the gym today this morning, though.
Did like 70 reps, something like that.
Okay, second story real quick.
real quick. So this is me and Evan almost dying in an Uber. And if you've been around us recently,
So this is me and Evan almost dying in an Uber.
we've been telling this story because it is probably the craziest thing that's ever happened
in an Uber to me. And I'm glad Evan's here to corroborate. So we're taking an Uber from
Boynton Beach to Miami, which is about an hour and a half Uber. Guys, a pretty nice guy. His
name's Bosco. He's actually quizzing us. Alex, you would have this would have been your thing.
The guy's like trying to tell us like he wants to start a YouTube channel. How should he start it? What
should he name the channel? You would have been selling Creator Buddy right off the hitch to this
man. This is how probably what Alex does in Ubers. And so we're driving probably off 45, maybe an
hour in. We're on the highway, probably going 60, 70 miles an hour. We are in the lane that is closest
to the other lane of oncoming traffic. And in between there is a barrier and it's one of those
barriers. It's not cement. It is just made out of plastic poles that are stuck into the ground.
Like, you know, four or five foot high, these like plastic poles that they put in between the
lanes. I don't know why, but this dude out of fucking nowhere, we're just driving
swerves and his side of his car, mind you, the side that I'm on, Evan's on the other side,
just starts hitting these plastic poles. And it's not like he just immediately reacts and
swerves back in lane. He is like riding and these plastic poles are just slapping the side of this
car for like a good five, 10 seconds. And then he finally swerves back into
our lane. Thought he was about to go through the thing into the other side. And then he goes back
into the poles, swerves back into the poles for like another 10 to 15 seconds. So multiple times
there, I thought we were going to go through, thought we were going to die. Um, we get to the,
uh, Miami. And as we're driving this like homeless homeless guy like runs in front of us. And he's
like, yo, stop like the fucking front of your car is coming off. And the guy like had just been
hitting these things so hard, like the thing over his tire was ripping off. There was something
hanging out from underneath the front of his car. The whole it's a white car as well. The whole side
of the white car is just beaten up. You can see every mark on it. And yeah,
we eventually got to our hotel, but I definitely thought this guy was going to swerve through
traffic. Yeah, Evan, that was quite the time to be alive. If he had Creator Buddy, that wouldn't
have happened. I'll just say that. That is what I told him, actually, when we got out. I said,
Creator Buddy would have never done this to me. We would have lived much, much longer.
You sure it was a regular Uber driver,
not my girlfriend driving the car?
Why is it shameful if you literally crashed my Cybertruck?
It'd be shameful if she'd never, like, crashed my car,
but she crashed my car, so I'm allowed to make the joke.
No, it was an accident, and it was not her fault that that pole did not get out of her way.
Why do you just keep bringing shit up?
You guys always complain that women will bring up something 10 years from 10 years ago, but Alex, this is your 10 years ago.
No, you had a three-day joke period.
That's the last time I'll make a joke about my girlfriend crashing my Cybertruck.
I'll give you one day grace period, but that's it.
You got to get it together. I'd much rather have somebody that period, but that's it. Yeah, dude. Like you got, you got to bring, get it together.
I'd much rather have somebody that's sitting right next to me telling me all the little
things that I'm doing wrong while I drive.
I mean, that's what, you know, um, partners are made for.
It's just that's why he calls me.
He calls me when he drives so I can tell him what a shitty driver he is.
His girlfriend is a nice girl.
She, the pole made a mistake and she shouldn't have to pay for it.
She didn't even hear the joke. You're allowed
to make fun of people behind their back.
No, she's a saint. She's with Alex.
She's with Alex. She's a saint.
That is true, Alex. You are
allowed to make fun of people behind
their backs, like I did a penny.
How do you even crash a car
that has like eight cameras on
every side? You can see everything all around you.
It's got like the best steering of any car.
You like touch the wheel and it turns like eight feet.
I have no idea how you crash.
Each one of those eight cameras that are on these Cybertrucks, Penny,
have seen you make love to that car, okay?
It's not going straight to Elon.
I mean, I understand why it happened happened it is a very long car like it's a very long car so like when you take turns you have to like
recalibrate your brain a little bit on like but at the same time not it to her credit like every
time i pull out so the issue is is that there's a cement pillar right next to our parking spot in our garage.
And when I pull out of it, I like pull out all the way.
And then I do like a three point turn to like take the right instead of just pull it going straight to the right because I want to avoid this pillar.
And every time I do, she goes, you know, you don't have to do that.
You can just take a right.
I just take a right out of the parking spot. I'm like, yeah, but you're going to hit that cement pillar. And every time I do, she goes, you know, you don't have to do that. You can just take a right. I'll just take a right out of the parking spot. I'm like, yeah, but you're going to
hit that cement pillar. And then of course, a month later, she hits the cement pillar after
telling me every time you don't have to fucking pull out all the way. Right. And so, you know,
I don't know. It's just, it's just whatever. I'm trying to forget about it.
Every time Alex pulls out, he does a three-point turn.
So wait, what happened to the Cybertruck?
Oh, I got a big scrape down the side of it.
I got to take it into a body shop to get it fixed.
I thought for a second you were going to say she needs to know how to drive.
That would have been amazing.
But we got to get back to this conversation.
Wolf, what did you rate this guy at?
Did you give him five stars?
Oh, Evan was the one who booked the Uber.
So to be honest, I'm actually not sure. not yeah so actually it's funny because moments before he gave us water
so I was like oh this guy just got himself a little bit of a better tip so
but I did not give him a tip I did not give him a rating honestly I thought it
was a different driver you guys were watching that was the car you were in
that was slamming into the cones oh yeah oh yeah yeah how did you let me keep driving how did you not like jump up front and
throw him out of the driver's seat honestly i think we were in a bit of shock i think we're
in a bit of shock for sure and also we were just like mid-highway don't know if there was much we
could do he also had such a slow reaction like 15 seconds later after he swerved back in the lane the second time he goes sorry about that guys like okay
delayed it was crazy i think everyone's just in shock yeah no there was there was no i don't i
don't know how to react to that i've never had an uber multiple times almost serving the line all
right last um story on how we almost died on this trip amidst a really, really fun trip, by the way, on Monday and Tuesday.
So Monday, myself and Evan, we're going to do more posts around this.
And shout out Omar, I see you in the crowd and a couple others.
Thanks, everyone, for coming to Hangin'.
We're going to do some more posts around this.
around this but we were invited out by a company called starfighters and they are a company that is
But we were invited out by a company called Starfighters.
incubating or based out of the kennedy space center in orlando they got invited to be there
they operate f-104s which are just these really really fast planes like we they showed us a test
of one going 700 miles per hour and that was not even mock two uh the way that it can go twice the
And what they're doing is basically betting on this really interesting concept of like, hey,
everyone is just going to want to launch satellites up into space. Right now, you basically have to use SpaceX or some type of government agency, Blue Origin, whatever it is. Those are built for
heavy payloads, but people want to launch like light stuff up, these nanosatellites. Very
interesting thing. So they basically built these planes and they strap rockets to them and they shoot them up.
Anyway, they wanted us to come and see the planes, meet the team, all that cool stuff.
So we, Monday morning, we take a private jet from Miami to the Kennedy Space Center.
We land directly into there.
Shout out NASA for clearing us.
We had to do like three weeks of background checks to get in
here and then we had like certain things in the hangar that we were allowed to record certain
things that we weren't allowed to take uh videos of stuff like that and super cool day um me and
evan even got to go see a spacex launch while we were there it was our first that we saw in person
and we got to see it from on base which was about as close as you can get that was a really fun
story too shout out some firefighters that helped us actually get there in time. We were like running through a
parking lot trying to make it in time. And these firefighters pulled up and they were like, get in.
And we just like hopped into this van and they drove us over to this car. And then this car like
flashed us like two miles down the road. Crazy times. Anyways, really cool day. We go through
the whole day. We're there. And then we are coming back in the evening. So I couldn't go back on the same jet.
So our jet that we took, we took two jets.
Our jet, the air pressure on the tire got low, which shouldn't be a huge deal, right?
But there was nobody on the crew that was FAA certified to refill jet tires.
So they had to get an actual FAA certified crew in to refill the
tire. However, because we were on a Kennedy Space Center, NASA base, those crew would have to go
through an entire background check and it would take, it was going to take hours for them to get
badge to come in to fill up the tire. So instead basically it could be because we had two jets,
the one jet basically just did two trips. So when it took everyone back and then it came back and got us. So now this jet's taking us
back and maybe it was just, you know, later in the day, whatever it was, but the turbulence
on this thing was hoo-ha. Now I was having a good time. Luckily Evans here, he can testify that most
people on that plane were not having a good time. They were, most of them were actually freaking
out as we were just going through turbulence. But as much as i was having a good time there's definitely a moment where we jumped like a foot
and then we went sideways like two feet i was like is this the end are we done no more x basis
crew but you know what we made it through safely and pretty cool day got to be on base got to see
a bunch of cool tech stuff and uh yeah more to come i'm going to be sharing some of the videos
and things that we got and grabbed from that and then we went back we had this crazy nine course meal at nobu it's like a freaking wild ass
dinner so i had a very very fun trip with these guys nobu fox nobu's great that was my first time
eating at nobu i think i got like the ultimate nobu experience first time we came and eat at
nobu it must have been like 1500 a person um what the fuck you were 1500 a person. What the fuck did you earn $1,500 a person? Okay, I actually took a picture of the
meal course because I thought it was just so crazy. So I'll actually tell you real quick what
the fuck we're eating. All right, this is the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 course meal plus dessert,
plus we ordered stuff on the side, plus people were drinking. We started with edamame and
shishito peppers. Then we had whitefish with a dry miso glaze, salmon new style, butter lettuce salad,
lobster tempura, amazu ponzu, black cod, den miso, seasonal vegetables, prime beef tenderloin,
yuzu truffle and crispy onions, assorted nigiri and sushi cut rolls plus we ordered these crazy tacos
on the side plus everyone's drinking and we had the dessert as well does that answer your question
i have a feeling the drinking part was like 80 of that bill well i don't drink alcohol so i'm
gonna he also doesn't know what the bill was i originally said a thousand dollars per person
and he was like no so that's a little hyped up for the spaces. Here's a question. It was a fat one. When you go to a
restaurant and you don't drink, and everyone else aggressively drinks, do you still split
the bill evenly between everyone? I mean, transparently, 90% of the time that i'm taking people out i pay for the group regardless
so yeah not really i don't know the last time i split a bill all right let me let me do that i
think it is totally fair to say you you did not drink because that is very expensive i think it's
a very fair thing to do here's here's a situation i was in last summer still haunts me to this day
i'm out at this really nice, like the best restaurant you
can go to in the Jersey shore. Michael Jordan eats there regularly. I'm there with like five
of my closest friends. And like one guy who I grew up with is kind of a dick sucker. And
everyone's ordering. I'm the only one who doesn't drink. Everyone gets like four drinks,
right? And each drinks like 30 bucks, right?
And so the bill comes and I'm just like, hey, I'll, you know, my, I ordered one, I didn't like
order appetite or like a meal. I'm like, hey, my meal was like $50. I'll just Venmo whoever's doing
this $50 or whatever plus tip, right? And the guy's like, are you serious? You're not just
going to split it? I'm like, everyone ordered like four drinks and each drink was like 30 like I mean I'm fine like if you're really gonna make a big deal
about this I'll split it but to me it just seems like kind of a slam dunk easy thing where I just
Venmo whoever does this however much my meal costs like I like if you truly think that's like a crazy
selfish greedy unfair thing for me to say or do fine i'll split
it but like i don't know it just feels like pretty normal for me as the only person who didn't drink
here to fucking venmo for my meal and like it became like an entire thing went back and forth
and eventually next time every time they order a drink just order a gift card for the same
restaurant and take it home with you yeah i mean i don't know i just it just felt so
weird so i i actually did end up splitting it i ended up splitting it and then a week later he
venmoed me the money back he's like yo i was thinking about it like here's you know here's
the money back i i don't know it was just like the weirdest most awkward thing and like it was
like a thing i just it's the same people i've had people say oh you
you should have split it you're being cheap and then other people like oh no you were in the right
to do that i don't know what what which what what which way does it go i i would just say that every
time that i've eaten out with alex i have paid the bill the fuck does that have to do with anything
alex you need to you need to lean to uh religion this is what I tend to do because I've been in that same
predicament like I don't always drink but nobody needs to know that I that I do drink right so it's
like sorry guys I yeah I don't feel comfortable paying for alcohol it's against the things I
believe that's I mean that's a good point he hits him with a quick Ramadan saying or something,
and he goes, sorry, it's against my religion.
Well, first of all, I want to address what just happened here, God.
You said you pay every time we go to dinner.
We've gone to dinner twice, and both times it was like us
and like an entire crew of people you invited.
Like, and you paid for everyone there.
line from uh wedding crashers oh my god irrelevant irrelevant like what like i don't you paid for
everyone's meals both the dinners what am i supposed to do oh no i'll pay for myself
man i was about to say like what's going on here god like are you just like have more friends than
alex but then i stopped and thought about it you're buying more friends than alex that makes more sense now now you're getting it also shout
out i will say even though it wasn't a dinner at that robin hood event we got those coasters alex
how'd your uh how'd your girlfriend feel about those coasters she was not a fan of any of the
fucking swag robin hood gave me. Whoa! Whoa!
Yeah, she was like, Robin Hood has such good taste.
Which is awesome, because she hates every other company I'm involved with, like Elon
and all of them. So, shout out that she actually
likes one of them. It's kind of a save.
I had a gold napkin holder
on my table already, so the gold coasters
No, it's not like it's not real gold.
Solid gold coasters. That's why they called it
Oh, real quick, by the way,
10-minute heads-up warning.
We are going to do Tech & Tea here in 10 minutes. We're, I think, going to do it live again on X. We're saving all of the good conversation for that, so don't you worry. I would encourage everybody right now, right now, follow, follow, follow, follow, follow. It is on your screen. It's up here. It's the big profile picture with a TT. Get us to 1.6K followers right now.
Alex, what do you have to say about that?
Did you guys see the tweet pinned up in the nest above?
Yeah, get that shit out of here.
That's a stupid thing to pin.
Everyone follow Tech and T.
It's me, Penny2X, and Gov, a.k.a. Wolf Finance,
the three most intelligent, smart, trustworthy people when it comes to technology.
Our technology takes are unbelievable. You need to be listening to this podcast. You need to be listening to this podcast. You need to follow the fucking account. It's on stage. Click it,
click it, click it, follow, follow, follow. This podcast will blow your nutsack off, right?
And if you don't have a nutsack, it'll grow you a nutsack and then blow it off right after.
This is the best tech podcast of all time.
Tech and tea, tech and tea, tech and tea.
Everyone grab a little bit of tea, pull on up and enjoy the show.
It's like if Rick and Morty was a podcast.
I'm super excited for the Vlad interview.
I mean, I think that's going to put tech and tea on the map for the vlad interview i mean i think that's gonna put
tech and t on the map for sure we did a great job with that not to pat ourselves on i was about to
ask so is the interview with robin hood uh a tech and t uh interview basically it is it is a episode
of tech and t we literally opened it sorry we literally opened it with welcome to tech and tea so that that's amazing that was the highest
energy intro you did so far too wolf like that was pretty good set the tone for the whole interview
so did you ask anything controversial did you really like go in it or was it just a show fest
like we love robin hood they're flying us places. We really dug into the GME stuff, to be honest, and a couple other areas.
So I would say I think we got a little bit deeper than I thought they were going to let us.
I kept on looking over at his assistant to see if she was going to give me that from the dictator where he goes on his neck, cut that off.
But they kind of let us keep going.
Vlad started talking about GME first.
Maybe that's why they ended the interview when they did.
They're like, he's getting too much into it.
So I guess something that I wish you guys, or I don't know if you did or not,
ask him in regards to how did things turn out?
I know you set a lawsuit over the 20-year-old that offed himself
because you guys told him that he was owning thousands and thousands of dollars.
Where does that stand as far as legally, and what about your conscience?
That one's definitely in there.
Make sure that you watch.
Tech and Tea, Vlad episode, coming soon.
Greg just replied to my post.
He said, that's a beautiful logo.
My logo is Greg approved.
He's a fan of a very similar logo.
So I can see why he would like that one.
Do you think it looks a lot like a peepee?
I mean, a lot might be an understatement.
I should have made the B stem longer.
So that is a little bit more phallic.
I mean, you do have one higher than the other.
That's anatomically accurate.
Did you know for a vast majority of men, one ball is higher than the other?
Yeah, that was the point I was making.
And I doubled down on it.
I guarantee you, more than half of the people in this call just grow up themselves.
Well, you know, half the half.
Half is probably accurate.
Sarah, what's going on by you?
What's been interesting to you on the timeline this past week?
affiliate. I got my badge. Do you guys
see? I can't see it on the space.
Does it show up? We have to click on your profile
and then come back to the space.
Oh, it popped up. Oh, wow.
There it is. It's pretty. pretty it's orange it stands out i wanted it to be pink and alex shot me down um still think it should have been
orange pops more i think people are gonna look more at your tweets when they're on the timeline
because that orange pop like i think you'll be getting more engagement out of this.
Well, people have already asked me about it.
And I've replied to all their posts.
subscribe via your code or something?
That's my question. How do you subscribe
via my code? What does that mean?
No, for your hearse. Fuck yours.
How do we give someone else the credit?
some more money out of Alex's pocket
and give it to someone else?
Oh, you just subscribe to me and stop
Yeah, Creator Buddy's good.
How can I get Creator Buddy with giving the least money?
Sarah's not going to have any idea how to create an affiliate link.
I would like to have Creator Buddy while giving the least amount of money to Alex.
Take the Action CEO's affiliate.
Dude, I'll send it to you.
Just use Action as your coupon code and you'll be set to go.
Alex, I did have a request for Creator Buddy.
I've been using it a whole bunch.
Actually, I've been using it a whole bunch actually uh been using
it for clients and stuff too that it's been phenomenal please don't charge me a uh you know
a you know higher fee because i'm using for work but for you yeah yeah yeah let's pretend i never
said that but um something that would be really helpful i love how it actually goes out and like
takes a look at your latest tweets if there was a way to exclude certain tweets so it understands my profile a little better.
I'll give you an example. I don't want anything that I said GM on to be taken into consideration when I'm actually trying to create a viral post.
And if I could say exclude any tweets that contain the words GM, that would actually kick butt.
That would be easy for me to implement.
How would you like the user experience to be for that?
Do you want me to put a checkbox in the history tab that is including analytics and you just
What would be the best user experience for that?
To be honest with you, if you want to make everybody happy, I would go into a filtering
system that you could do if and statements.
Like if it includes or it doesn't include and that would be the ideal setup for a system like this.
That's too complex for most people.
But ultimately, like if you want the ultimate tool, I think that's what it will look like.
But the way you said it works as an easy route to go about it too.
I'm going to implement that.
I'm shipping AI analytics today.
So I'm going to have the most powerful AI analytics tool ever.
It does a whole bunch of really cool shit.
It's basically SocialBlade, but on steroids.
So SocialBlade shut down.
Sorry, I'm eating while i do this space um social blade shut down and so i rebuilt social blade and then
i put a whole bunch of ai on top of that so that chips say so after i do that i'll implement your
feature you're the man you're the man i love action ceo Everyone follow Action CEO. Everyone follow Action CEO. He is action-packed.
He's an action-packed CEO. He's the CEO of Action. Click on him and follow. And then,
I don't know, do whatever the hell you want. I don't care.
What a fun way to wrap it right there.

Alex went from, you guys know that the HR meme where it's like the guy speaking to the
And she's like, she's like, hey, beautiful.
And she's like, ah, call HR.
And then it's like the good looking guy.
And it's like, hey, beautiful.
And she's like, oh, hello there.
That's what it looks like.
I had a fucking camera glow up oh my

They're going to talk about everything that you guys have been seeing on X, from Ghibli's to their Robin Hood trip and everything in between.
This is the one place, your one-stop shop, to know exactly what kind of technology is being implemented here on X and around the globe.
Make sure you subscribe to that account, and let's go have some fun with these guys live let's do it actually needs a tech and tea affiliate badge right now we actually do
you want to be our tech and tea producer that might actually be hella fun dude what do you
think alex we we can we can competition breeds excellence him versus yeah you promoted greater
