May 25, 2026AI Is Destroying the Work Contract — Can UBI Replace It?
A third of American workers are one missed paycheck from crisis, and AI is repricing the assumption that human labor has permanent value faster than any safety net can respond. Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley open their UBI series by naming what dissolved the American Dream contract — work hard, buy a house, build something — and argue it was always built on the premise that time and effort would hold their worth. Three real-world experiments — the Alaska Permanent Fund, the Cherokee Nation dividend, and the 2021 Child Tax Credit — all point the same direction: give people a floor and they don't get lazy, they get free. The harder question isn't whether it works — it's who runs it, what they want in return, and what it costs either way.

May 25, 2026Cash Is King, 50% Drop Coming, and the Dollar Myth Debunked
Nasdaq futures are sitting five points off 30,000, NVIDIA is up 28% since April, and Adobe has shed 62% of its value in three years. Jerremy Alexander Newsome calls dollar-collapse fears "irrevocably incorrect" and makes the case that cash is the right position for the next four to five years. Dave Conley puts the Iran deal at roughly 40% odds and warns oil stays volatile until troops are physically off the ground. A 50% market correction is coming — but Jerremy frames it as one of the largest buying opportunities on Earth, not a reason to panic. Bitcoin gets flagged as an AI accumulation play, and Zoom, Roku, and GoDaddy land on the watch list as beaten-down rotation targets once the correction lands.

May 21, 2026Dollar Fear, Bond Yields, and the SpaceX Bubble Call
Dollar collapse headlines are a scare tactic — gas, food, and DoorDash prices are up, but that's inflation eating purchasing power, not a currency in freefall. Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley connect rising bond yields directly to more expensive credit, and trace why countries are liquidating U.S. Treasuries to buy oil. Walmart beat earnings on essentials-only spending — a two-tier consumer economy where the bottom half is cutting everything that isn't necessary. Nvidia posted a big earnings beat with a dividend hike; WOLF, NBIS, and IREN are called out as volatile plays on the AI data center buildout. Quantum computing gets a plain-language breakdown — massively faster processing with direct implications for hacking and AI, with hardware cooling tied to helium supply running through the Strait of Hormuz. SpaceX's $1.75T valuation is called frothy, oil is above $100, Iran-Israel-U.S. tensions are rising, and U.S. politics has no pocketbook-focused answer in sight.

May 21, 2026Series Wrap: AI, Broken Institutions, and the UBI Debate (Full)
One guest puts the odds of a US recession by end of 2026 at 95%. Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley close out one of their longest series by walking through every guest and claim: Spencer Conley on college debt as a geographic trap and AI already cutting headcount, James Klein on that recession call, Cruise Gamboa on identity tied to achievement, Catherine on ghost jobs and work not being life-centered, Pam Jordan arguing the income gap is individually solvable without government, and Ryan and Sarah saying use AI daily — build with it. The overarching premise: the American Dream contract is broken, AI will accelerate the fallout, and nothing is replacing it yet. Jerremy goes after institutions for operating consequence-free, rants about boomers and Congress, and makes the case that the new dream is owning equity — not a 30-year mortgage where the house has to triple before you break even. They close with a UBI preview and an open call for guests and political disagreement.

May 20, 2026A $213K Dream Now Costs $5 Million — Own Equity Instead
A home that cost $213,000 in 1988 costs $5 million today — and Jerremy argues the math doesn't work anymore. Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley make the case that at a 6% loan rate, a house has to triple in value over 30 years before any real appreciation shows up. The new American dream, Jerremy says, is owning equity — not a mortgage. They walk through renting as emotionally unstable but financially flexible, and argue longer rental contracts could solve the security problem, especially for families. Congress leaders who haven't checked a gas price in decades get implicated too. The episode ends with a UBI preview and an open invitation for guests and political disagreement.
Timestamps:
(00:00) Contract's broken – the homeownership pitch doesn't math out anymore
(00:38) Own equity, not a house – why the 30-year mortgage loses at 6%

May 19, 2026Who's Accountable? Boomers, Markets, and Consequence-Free Power
Markets haven't priced in reality yet — and when they do, most people won't have options. Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley argue that individual action only matters when it builds optionality, and that the harder problem is systemic: institutions, governments, and businesses operating with zero consequences for the damage they cause. A viral campaign they attribute to Spencer Pratt — living in a trailer after losing his home — becomes their model for targeting corruption and inequality head-on. They spend the back half laying the generational wealth gap at boomers' feet: decades of accumulated power, rising housing and healthcare costs, and a compounding future bill that younger generations didn't vote for. Technology, they say, is both the cause and the only plausible exit.
Timestamps:
(00:00) Individual action – only matters when it expands your options
(03:56) Spencer Pratt – trailer life, viral campaign, targeting political corruption
(05:53) Boomer accountability – decades of power, housing costs, who picks up the tab
(11:57) Generational wealth gap – home values up, wages flat, math doesn't lie

May 18, 2026AI Is Already Cutting Jobs — What the Series Guests Said
One guest puts the odds of a US recession by end of 2026 at 95%. Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley spend this episode running through six guests and their core claims: college debt trapping people geographically, ghost jobs flooding hiring platforms, identity tied to achievement as a psychological trap, and AI already cutting headcount in real companies. Pam Jordan argued the income gap is individually solvable and government won't fix it. Ryan and Sarah's message was direct: use AI daily — build with it before it builds around you. Justin said AI will build AI, and most industries haven't processed what that means. Institutions, Jerremy argues, keep operating with zero consequences — and that's the part nobody's addressing.
Timestamps:
(00:00) Series done – what it took to finally finish this one

May 14, 2026AI's Great Displacement: Self-Reliance, UBI, and Owning Your Data by 2030 (Full)
A fast great displacement is already underway — AI, robots, drones, and autonomous vehicles repricing jobs while many new grads work roles that don't require their degrees. Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley sit down with Justin Meyers and Jason Sipple to map what's actually happening. Justin argues businesses will replace humans for ROI, predicts most work becomes supervising AI, and warns non-adapters end up dependent on government through UBI and CBDC. Jason rejects hustle culture, says entrepreneurs must integrate AI or get replaced, and unpacks why he walked away from a corporate leadership role that took a division from zero to $30M. They debate trusting institutions versus radical self-reliance, get into data sovereignty as controlling and potentially monetizing your own data, and run a lightning round on parents, the gig economy, and quiet AI-driven layoffs.

May 13, 2026Work in 2030: Radical Self-Reliance, AI, and Who You Can Trust
"No one's gonna come save us" — that's the working assumption the whole segment runs on. Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley press Justin Meyers and Jason Sipple on whether too much weight for surviving 2030 gets dumped on individuals while government, academia, corporations, family, and community get a pass. Jason doesn't trust government or big corporations to act in people's interests, rejects handouts, and says people have to create value and lead locally — he shares his own burnout story from trusting the system. Justin points to YouTube University, AI-driven learning, and multiple income streams as the real path. The lightning round forces 60-second messages to parents, the gig economy as liberation or trap, and a flat prediction that employers will quietly cut headcount with AI while saying nothing publicly.
Timestamps:
(00:00) Save yourself – the trust collapse driving this segment

May 12, 2026AI Job Loss, Purpose Collapse, and Who Owns Your Data?
Purposelessness leads to violence — and the panel thinks America is at the front edge of that curve. Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley dig into widening wealth inequality, a shrinking middle class, two-tier justice, inflation, and AI displacement with Justin Meyers and Jason Sipple. They borrow Joe Rogan's "Bob the lawyer" thought experiment to explain what happens to identity when AI outperforms a 30-year career and UBI pays the bills anyway. Coaching work, mentorship, and acting before pain forces you to keep coming up as the practical counter. Then the conversation turns to data sovereignty — frontier AI APIs absorbing everything you type, social platforms profiling behavior, and what it would mean to actually own and monetize your own data through tokenized, immutable records.
