Yo, as a budding superstar comedian (comedienne, in Canada?), you have to listen to Bill Burr's latest appearance on the Rogan podcast. It's awesome front start to finish, but they talk a lot about advice for young comedians.

Will do. I liked him in Breaking Bad. Hopefully he'll have some insightful advice.

Hah, Rogan's latest podcast features..... Peter Schiff!

IT'S LIKE THEY'RE LISTENING TO US

IT'S LIKE THEY'RE LISTENING TO US

I was so pumped for it that I kept refreshing the Joe Rogan YouTube page yesterday. I started watching it something like 6 minutes after it was posted.

What a disappointment. Easily his worst interview on JRE. Don't get me wrong, he had great insights as always. He just never bloody took a breath. He just kept going and going and kept bulldozing Rogan every time he wanted to ask a question or change the pace of conversation. It wasn't a podcast, it was just a rant.

On Schiff's Twitter he recognized how poor his interview performance was and he apologized. He says his frenetic pace was due to the fact that the interview was being done online. Apparently his brain kicked into "CNBC mode" where he felt like he needed to get as much in as quickly as possible. Understandable... I guess?

Funny you should mention this, because I listened to the first 15 minutes of that interview last night and had the exact same impression. I eventually just lost interest and stopped listening.

For what it's worth, Schiff always seems that way in his interviews: Talks loudly (half-shouting), runs his mouth non-stop, and hardly lets the host get a word in edgewise or ask questions. It generally rubs me the wrong way. When I listened to a lot more of his interviews back in 2007/2008 during the Ron Paul Revolution, he was the same way.

Yeah, he does frequently seem like that. I think part of it is just the fact that he's a natural salesman (and I don't necessarily mean that in a negative way). He is quite talented at the sermonizing and preaching game.

His earlier JRE interviews were much more deliberate and thoughtful. I think sitting in front of Rogan live really made the difference where they could have a genuine conversation and see each other's social cues.

They mentioned a “J(ay) Hogue” on CNBC this morning.

Interesting. A lot more often, at least in my experience, is that things go the other direction. A terrible (or great?) example of what I'm talking about was an interview that Maria Baritromo did with Ray Dalio a while back. She was constantly interrupting, asking long-winded non-question questions like a Senator at a hearing, and generally making the whole thing about herself, her thoughts, her opinions. I just wanted her to shut up and let Dalio speak.

Maybe there's a happy medium, and maybe that medium depends on the interviewee.

Ugh, I know exactly what you're talking about. Dalio likes to expound on topics in a thoughtful and deliberate way. Interviewers on CNBC just love to interrupt him just as he starts to get going. Dalio ends up finishing half a point before he gets pulled into another thread of discussion and the cycle repeats. His non-CNBC stuff is much better.

This one was in front of an audience, not even on CNBC! I'll see if I can find it.

hah, it's been talked about here before:

That post from stone is gold! (@1:14pm, at least on my screen). Leads to the Ali G interview of Kenneth Galbraith.

I did a thing today!

Smith...

Did you buy a bunch of bitcoin to send to Elon Musk so he would send you double back?
We need to talk

No, I sent them to Obama because he said he'd give me double back!

I ain't no fool!!

You can't tell me this isn't legit.

You have a keen eye!

I admit, when I saw the similar tweet from Elon, it made me pause for a half second. At first glance, it seemed like just the sort of crazy thing he might do.

I would have guessed you went for Bill Gates, Smithers. So much to learn, so much to learn.
Yes, the last I read was that hackers may have paid an inside man at Twitter.
Maybe next time they’ll dox* all the conservative posters on that site who have aliases. What a shitshow.


*For those who don’t know, and Vinny I know you’re getting ready to ask: doxing is publishing someone’s name, address and/or other private info online without permission. The etymology is dox, slang for documents.

The Babylon Bee has weighed in on this event too: https://babylonbee.com/news/hackers-sus ... on-twitter

Yeah, if it had just been the Elon tweet in isolation I'd be inclined to believe it was legit too. Like, it just seems like such an Elon thing to say. I would've thought to myself "Yeah, I've seen him tweet less weird things."

Dualstow, as for Bill Gates he still hasn't given me the money he promised me when I was 13 years old. I forwarded that email he sent me to 10 other people as instructed and still haven't seen a cheque... I ain't trusting that swindler again.

I’ve been on a bit of a pizza kick lately. So naturally I’ve been looking up recipes and such.

Problem is that I don’t see pizza in these pictures anymore.... all I see is 4 asset classes.

Someone help me plz.
