As the TikTok ban looms, we dive deep into the REAL reasons it's being blocked. We'll talk about the arguments heard in the Supreme Court, a brief history of US-China cyber warfare, and how Americans are downloading another China owned app called REDNOTE just to spite the government.

The bonus episode is also really good you guys. https://benandemilshow.com

Check out  @KylaScanlon  's great piece about the TikTok ban here:

Seems like everywhere you turn these days you're being told by a celebrity just how easy it is to gamble on sports through your phone. And honestly? They're right! It's so easy!

So this week we learned that Enron is back...sort of. That prompted us to finally do an episode on the rise and fall of the once massive company that became the poster child for corporate greed and corruption. Is Enron actually back or is this some kind of elaborate hoax for...something? We'll dive in sweeties.

This week's bonus episode is a fuckin' gem, by the way. Sign up

The crypto world is getting just a bit out of control. Pump.Fun started out as an obscure memecoin site and has recently snowballed into a completely unchecked casino where anyone can launch a coin for just a few bucks. They recently launched (and have since shut down) a livestream feature which...didn't go very well to say the least. We've got some of the best and worst moments and everything you need to know this week.

PLUS, another Forbes 30 under 30 nominee ends up being a complete scammer. We love to see it.
