Justin sits down with his longtime friend Dave Pechillo, a finance-minded, crypto-curious realist — to talk about money, freedom, relationships, AI, and why billionaires eventually get bored of everything.

They unpack what real financial freedom looks like, why most people don’t actually want infinite money, and how chasing status turns normal dudes into psychos. From Elon Musk and Trump to cartels, fentanyl, and the CIA, the conversation blends dark humor with sharp insight on how power, addiction, and AI are reshaping modern life.

On the personal side, Justin and Dave get into trust vs love, codependency, why love is “disgusting,” and the real work of becoming self-aware. They share stories of addiction, recovery, and being “invisible” in public when you’re at your lowest, and how humility and growth hit harder than money ever will.

Later they spiral into the future of AI and crypto, universal basic income, and why this is the worst AI will ever be again. It’s a raw, funny, and philosophical conversation about what it means to stay human while everything around you goes digital.

In this episode:
• Money vs freedom — how much is “enough”?
• Billionaires, cartels & why power corrupts
• Trust vs love and the fight to stay connected
• Addiction, recovery, and self-awareness
• AI, Bitcoin, stablecoins & the coming UBI future

Hit follow and leave a rating, it helps more beautifully broken people find their new favorite “most mediocre podcast within a 3-mile radius.”

Baltimore comedian Luke Harris stops by to talk hosting at Magooby’s, bumping mics with Dave Attell, DC comedy “clapter,” Ocean City underage drinking citations, Mo Noor lore, Dan Soder’s perfect Kat Williams, and why open mics are part therapy, part demolition derby.

We hit: starting during the post-COVID reset, booking drama and “territorial comics,” the Happy Podcast/Dom Solesky crew, and whether robots will fold our laundry (and break up with our girlfriends).

Justin sits down with his cousin Chris for a brutally honest riff on the surveillance state, drug policy (from DMT to heroin “stores”), pharma skepticism, Amish/accents bits, sleep deprivation horror, wild hospital stories, jail economics, insurance grifts, AR glasses, quantum-kills-Bitcoin doomsday takes, and a darkly funny money-vs-morals game. It ends with a push for the new Patreon and a freestyle fake-out.

607 Unc invited us into his Vegas content house for a raw sit-down on meditation vs. “run-on days,” living above love and hate, cosmic downloads, 3-6-9 time, self-love over laws, “canceling money” (think % greater than $), St. Louis stories, music frequency, sobriety vs. attachments, and why he only protects the message.Topics: meditation & discipline, high vs low vibration, creator vs gods, Sophia & black cats, simulation/firmament, accountability, diet & health (talking to your body), quitting weed, purpose over possessions.You can find 607 Unc:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/607unc?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==Youtube: https://youtube.com/@607Unc?si=RrcApq0Vaw7YKjB0TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@607unc?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc🔔 Subscribe for more: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi3Z0oA2RHRNXnK3OI4Pfpg🎧 Audio version: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/if-this-doesnt-work/id1366535800📱 Clips & BTS: https://www.tiktok.com/@itdw_clips

We brought Josh Grimes & Rich Wilson to talk recent cruises | Disney vs. Carnival vs. Royal Caribbean. We get into casinos (or lack of them), why bingo hits like gambling, adult-only spaces, security/dogs at embarkation, sneaking “wine,” and that behind-the-curtain crew party. Plus: rain-soaked excursions, dropping a phone while snorkeling (and getting it back!), co-parenting without drama, the birds-and-bees talk in 2025, and how mushrooms helped reframe anger and fear. It’s cruises, honesty, and a little chaos, aka our show.

Baltimore rapper YNCU Nook pulls up to If This Doesn’t Work… and gets real about the city, the accent “bias,” and why no one’s truly kicked the industry door down yet. He talks visiting his dad during a 12-year bid, the “Jolly Rancher days” before the internet, how the fentanyl era changed the streets, and why the “new trapping” is going legit | content, business, investing.We get into posting 3x/day, reading to sharpen wordplay, sliding from trap to R&B, therapy, God, and “trusting the shuffle.” Influences: Biggie over Pac; Lil Wayne as era GOAT. He wants a major label push for reach (not a handout,) teases the next tape BOLO, and closes with a live freestyle.You can find YNCU Nook:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yncu_nook?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==YouTube: https://youtube.com/@yncunook?si=OeeEqGMDX7OhlKiITikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@chargedupnook?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pcSoundcloud: https://on.soundcloud.com/F21lgLJ3g6EAP2RnJY📌 Support the show:Join for $0.99/month (or $4.99/month if you're feeling extra generous) for exclusive content, bonus episodes & behind-the-scenes chaos.
