We're joined by friend of the show and repeat guest Ed Zitron (@edzitron) to discuss some recent AI 'products,' the total failure of another hyped tech business, a Turkish magician's journey through the world of scamming an entire biotech company, but—and this is very important—we finally talk about Bill Ackman and why he does that.

*PREVIEW* Wife Aum Shinrikyo: Bill Ackman’s Quest feat. Ed Zitron

a podcast about business success and making yourself smarter with the continued psychic trauma of capitalism by @raaleh, @HKesvani, @milo_edwards, @inthesedeserts and @aliceavizandum

Comedy

The cast joins guest Jason Koebler of 404 Media to discuss the recent downward spiral of Facebook, a platform currently being destroyed by AI and a total lack of content moderation that cannot admit the causes of its crisis because it, too, is dumping money into AI. And yet it is among the notionally most valuable companies on earth. But don’t worry—if you die, your account can be hacked and used to post spam bot comments on the worst art you’ve ever seen.

Shrimp Jesus the Redeemer feat. Jason Koebler

For this week's bonus, it's Riley, Milo, Hussein, and November discussing the recent news about ICC arrest warrants (and US/UK politicians statements about wanting to bomb the Netherlands as a result), but we're also discussing a very strange UK business claiming it's going to build a sort of British Neom in a Napoleonic-era fortress in Dover. That was also a borstal and a refugee deportation centre. You can't deny it's on-brand for this sceptered isle.

*PREVIEW* Blood Boy Jail Island

For this month's first Britainology, we examine an unambiguously good (and strange) British crime film: Jonathan Glazer's 2000 debut SEXY BEAST. Why is the film so atmospheric and detached? Why is Ben Kingsley so good at being an ultra-geezer? Is the plot saying definitively that Ian McShane had to let James Fox top him in order to learn about a bank vault? All this, and more.

*PREVIEW* Britainology 83: Sexy Beast (2000)

Hesse from Seeking Derangements and Movie Mindset joins the gang to watch Scoop - the story behind the news night interview that blew up the Prince Andrew story and made him lose his job as the nation’s special little boy for upwards of eight months.

Two Scoops and a Bread Basket feat. Hesse Deni

Friend of the show and Financial Times journalist Rob Smith joins us to discuss Euro finance guys. Why are they so louche and strange? Why are they just sort of hanging around connecting people? Why is this entire episode a name alert? We also discuss Volocopter and Neom some more. It's an episode you don't want to miss.
