Not even complaining about the presence of ads but that was an absurd amount of ad reads for one show.
The Prof has employees to pay. Do you expect him to pay for them himself?! /s
Lose the advertising and keep your dignity. You are a top podcast and you make enough money in other ways. Our time is valuable and you advertising shows you don’t respect that.
I REALLY like how they SNUCK in the Add for 'Comshat' during their market overview summary at start of podcast... Without making it LOOK like an AD... and "So folks, you can get a 'ComShat' bundle now including this & that for a big discount" Sneaky !
You’ve just lost about 6 levels of cool with the ads. We deserve better.
Agreed. But he's gotta pay the bills.
Ad reads and no timestamps. wtf is your guys deal?
Ads are a signal of weakness.
Too many advertisements.
Rip now we have ads on the UA-cam feed even with YT Premium
So true! "Please pay now a Scott Galloway premium is you would want to remove ads from the ads" :)
Agreed, very disappointed
You guys know you can skip those, right?
Yep just skip
I'm ready to pay
Funrise… Spelled…F…U…. for advertising on our favorite pod.
omg the ads, wtf, so many. I pay YT Premium, STOP
A financially incentivised view to promote an ad is what I call insider trading
Hated all of the ads. Really weakens the conversation.
Scott's got to re-coup that $15 mil he lost last year on stocks. This guy is a self-admitted slacker , an inept businessperson , and not really the best regarding markets or trading. However, he will give advice and direction like some savant. I am beginning to rethink my Prof G tattoo.
The advertising…. Oof. Baaaaad looook Scott
Agreed!!
Just to note, Ilya Sutskever never went back to OpenAI after the botched coup and left exactly 6 months after, to the day, per his separation agreement. His departure was never in question.
If Ed Elson studied classics, why doesn't he know that the plural of index is indices, not indexes?
I kind of interpret many post on here as acknowledging that we're reaching a market peak, in general, which is a well-supported thesis, and so if you've been sitting back chill while the gains roll in because bull market, well, time for traders to stay sharp, many are expecting volatility, probably a sharp downturn, smart traders should check their risk management is in shape, time to pay attention. The timing of his post vs what I know about the market supports that well enough. But yeah, the post could mean anything.....managed to grow a nest egg of around 100k to a decent 432k in the space of a few months... I'm especially grateful to Tobias Hawke, whose deep expertise and traditional trading acumen have been invaluable in this challenging, ever-evolving financial landscape.
Tobias Hawke program is widely available online..
Over the years, I've been a part of numerous trading programs, sifting through a barrage of information. Yet, nothing has come close to the sheer clarity, depth, and precision of Tobias insights. It's akin to finding a diamond in a coal mine.
Indeed, the recent market downturn serves as evidence that a vast majority of individuals lacked a sufficient understanding of the underlying financial dynamics at play.
Tobias gave me the autonomy I need to learn at my own pace and ask questions when I need to he’s so accommodating.
Building a good investment portfolio is more complex so I would recommend you seek Tobias support.
Boo ads for yt premium. Boooo. Also, consider the impact to your credibility. Should we continue to trust your takes on start ups and vc when your taking money from fundrise?
ADS DISTRACT from the great content. I’d prefer a paid, unbiased version. Anyone else?
I prefer the reading of ads to having sentences interrupted by stupid video ads
I've been waiting for that for so long! Finally, I can watch ads on the podcast; however, I don't like that Scott is interpreting them with his thoughts. Next time, just make a whole episode an ad 👍
If he's so rich, why does he care about selling ads? Makes me wonder.
@@KK-pm7ud I was joking; I have nothing against ads. He is so rich because he knows how to monetize his business, I assume. A podcast is a business and not a non-profit, so why not? @Scott, maybe we can make it to 2 ads at least, pleeeeeeeease.
There may be some real value in that @ProfG a "roastomercial" an episode sponsored by a given company and you just rip the business to smithereens just make sure and take the edge off of the scathing criticism by talking up the core strength "they are indirectly responsible for child labour in ****, but at least you can avoid tax by taking out loans against your equity and receive no dividends. All because you know that one-day they are going to buyback their own stocks with all that cash like the BoJ defending the Yen"
I'm confused - why is a billionaire bothering with paid sponsorships?
It’s for Ed.
He could just pay Ed better?
He is not that rich or smart
Love me some Prof G on a Monday!

Love the Professor Galloway Comcast Bundle Commercial at 4:18
Fundrise a guaranteed negative return
I love you Scott but you remain out of touch with the economy and how average Americans are struggling. You, better than anyone, should be able to see why record stock prices don’t necessarily equate to great conditions on Main Street.
Seriously. Classic liberal Biden supporter
👏🏼😃 YASSSSS!!!! Bring it! Love it!!
🎞✂🎞That last bubble-segment makes a good clip!
Please give Ed a sound board like radio DJs for all Scott’s dad jokes
Louis CK is a legend
I only watch this show on UA-cam so I never knew there was this much cognitive dissonance in the ad reads 😮💨
What do you mean?
The ads between the breaks if you a premium user on youtube this podcast was completely ad free.
Such a nice experience , I miss it too.
I also feel it takes away authority of the show. But not in an amount that i wiuld stop watching it
We can design and build our own river of access to information quickly, reliably and accurately.🎉
Thank you, Scott and Ed, for your fascinating, fun and smart discussions about current events.
🎉❤💥 I think these tech tools are very capable of improving our knowledge at so many levels.🎉❤😊
Hope this helped! Take a moment to look at clips and highlights for quick content.
I agree with Scott on financial advisors and meme stocks. I mean smart managers should know what they are.
@Prof G - exactly it is not fraud and not different than anyone else commenting on stocks on CNBC or even your show.
Is the economy actually doing well or is it the market? those are very different, the market is walking a thin line with stocks like GameStop there’s really no check and balances
Great bit on the ai bubble.
Will the new pod be on this channel? or do i need to sub to another channel
I said it in February Ima say it again "What happens when all these CEOs who ask "What can we do with AI?" finally discover that the answer for the VAST majority of them is "Oh...nothing"?"
Now we are talking! Thank you gentlemen and all that helped produce this show!

Ray Dalio interview incoming. Should be decent.
Question for anyone reading the comments:
How many of you have typed into search, "Lowest air fair from New York to st. Bart's" ?
...me neither.

Oh my! Gone wild

Rent is a lagging indicator. You were so close to just saying that Ed!
Really dislike the new ad model, Prof.
Real ballers have no ads.
@@Bryanbkk broke ballers have no ads
He is allowed to monetize-the quid pro quo of the internet.
This is no different than your other favorite YT content sadly. I went premium to avoid them but the content folks figured a way around it. Sucks but at least you can just skip them.
I couldn't tell, could someone please confirm for me that this episode was indeed sponsored by Fundrise?
Gary Stevenson! Get him on!!!!
"Ed, I've decided to ad it up a little bit.'
Folks, the audio podcast feed has had these same ads for a loooong time. How do you think the podcasts you like earn money? Anyway, you know you can skip ahead, right?
Great show, but wow that is a lot of ads :(
For the roaring kitty thing. All he did was post a picture that implied he is “getting serious” (gamer leans forward to hone in). He never said if he was specifically investing in one single security. He could have found a new deep value/short squeeze opportunity that no one even knows about yet.
If he was in court for this, it would be so easy to defend this.
Thanks for the Apple hate, 1. Siri , 2. Glasses. 3. TV plus, …….

GameStop and AMC aren't dumb. Wall street tried to destroy the former and failed.
I for one like the in video ads. You can forward if you don't like it, no?
And they are working hard on these videos, don't you think they deserve to get paid/sponsored?
Wow, the Buffet Indicator is pretty high these days...
Re: the tweet and meme stocks - I don't consider this to be any more manipulation than hindenburg's research about nikola and then shorting the stock. He made a public post and he's free to leverage any benefits/losses from it.
The costs associated with AI aren't justified when all you get is some clever apps.
I don't understand all the complaints about ads. These people provide free content to us. Well, someone has to pay all the bills.
Did you see Roaring Kitty’s other tweets? Every hour he posted a movie clip, basically saying buy.
Ed. This Roaring Kitty thing is less than egregious than things done on CNBC every day, or what pandemic Bill Ackman did when he went online and said he was short bonds (and had prepositioned himself), tanked the market, sold and then only after he'd made billions said that he had sold.
Taxing compute is super gameable and disincentivizes efficiency. It's better to just tax power. It's already metered, it incentivizes both efficiency and moving these server barns, where the compute takes place, to places where power is cheaper. Distributing the demand is also good after all. There are underutilized dams and places where hydro power isn't even used. Plenty of desert without solar, etc.
Ads are legit, it's a business and they want to monetize, I just think that they need to feel more organic and better merged. Some channels do it very seamlessly, I'm sure they'll hack it

I'm so torn about this podcast. I want the info but i have to gloss over the hard takes. I wish Prof G was less emotional and more objective with his takes. This is the reason people dunk on him so much. He just gets emotional, then makes bold predictions then back peddles later when he calms down. Still debating if it is better to listen or not since his opinions end up being so much more noise in an already noisy financial world.
Commercial real estate and rentals are a tax on society.
Its not a tough one. Pretty simple.

I've never understood the whole bundling either from cable or now from streaming. Why force people to pay for channels they don't want to watch. Why not let the market decide. Make these channels up their game and either create content people want to watch or drop them from your service and save the company, its shareholders, and most importantly, consumers' money while forcing channels to compete...
I think Ed is correct that it does erode our confidence in our stock market…but at the same time, it is more because it is so out in the open, rather than thinly vailed like we are used to with the news.
i want to know this unicorn who invests and thinks it's not a game.
Best joke yet
Scott! 😅😂😂
Will you be having Disney´s Nelson invited to the show?
So I could ask Chatgpt for business news in Prof Gs voice but without the profanity? 🤔
Braeburn should be the largest hedgefund technically-Braeburn manages a $244 billion financial portfolio-70% of Apple's total book assets. out of Reno, NV to avoid taxes of course
Why are we acting that suddenly translation of languages is this amazing use case never seen before.
I have been using translate from Google on my phone, and other devices for close to a decade now ....
The joke got a like and comment out of me...only male in my office! It's a bleak existence
Palantir do live up to the AI dream, too bad many other company only got pp
Maybe people are talking too much about AI being a bubble cause the have a good stake on it and they are just waiting for the correct moment to pull out...
I have no experience in stocks, but work in analytics and I do feel that AI is being way over hyped. How long will it be over hyped? I wouldn't now. But I'd go to Gartner's curves of innovation to see if AI fits with those curves.
I think the bundling is more like the second coming of the Apple Music store.
11:07 LLMs creating data for other LLMs to crawl a "giant walled garden." - I think you mean "circle jerk."
Isn’t Scott insanely rich. Like I think he had in the hundreds of millions. Why doesn’t he just pay his team instead of running ads?
Tax electricity on a progressive basis, not data
I don't want to pay the a-holes at PG&E anymore than they feel like raising my rates to. I pay for Internet and power. I don't need to pay anything extra for what I am currently getting.
Advertisers in, profanity out. I liked the old look better.
Literally heard the first sentence and then commented… listen to the second lol
I don’t mind the adds, just need them too line up with the FFW double tap on my phone… make your money Prop G!
Sell out to ads… no thanks, as Scott would say, fuck that
Who knows! I will appreciate Scott until the end of my life, it’s written on my heart.
Scott, I know you’re touting venture-capital because you were cowing to your sponsors but you oughta look back at your own contact to realize that it was not so long ago that you made the point that venture capital in the long run does know better than a mutual fund in the long run you’re smart guy I hate to see you contradict yourself, so obviously
if you're having Ray dalio on, please ask him about "The Fund".
Towards Ed’s point of issue with Roaring Kitty, does this person become forever associated with GameStop regardless what he does? Can you show me where Roaring Kitty spoke about GameStop in this specific post? Isn’t that a leap of logic from your and everyone else who jumped in. For all we know he was interested in Apple.
Is he never allowed to post because anything he does causes the entire market to go in a frenzy…is that his fault? 33:40
I think Ed is correct that it does erode our confidence in stock market… at the same time the hole stock market seems to me to be a big game of strategy and manipulation which over-enriches a small number. Good companies are ruined, because they are not popular with the right CEO and some become ultra rich, not because of their intrinsic quality, but because of their CEO who sells vaporware.
Those new ads must be very lucrative to be so pitiful.

jk good show

Obligatory “you’re incalculably less cool with ads” post in hopes that it changes things moving forward.
I wonder if a lot of the meme stock mania would be washed out by a prolonged bear marker? I am just thinking of the speculative mania of the roaring 20s, followed by people refusing to touch the stock market after the great depression.
I am not predicting a bear market, but providing an idea for how the meme stock mania could stop.
Jesus ! Shorting a basket of AI companies !
I am not sure about NVDA but all the solution / service providers ? Their valuations are rich but the products / services being released complimenting their existing solutions / services is going to boost revenues. If a business does not leverage AI compared to their competitors they'll die.
Scott, please spend 1 week trying everything and anything AI for business, creators.
It’s not the same as 1998; you didn’t have consumers paying $20 a month for products and getting value for money. You had vaporware and shitty products.
WOW....that joke...no words. Glad I'm here. :).

Dragged out a bit compared to previous episodes - prefer your historically more concise chats
Advertisers are gonna go crazy for that old man moan after the terrible joke!
Tax CPU’s? Naw😊
Scott, saying you’re rich while shilling for brands on UA-cam makes you look ridiculous. Pick one.
You could not be more incorrect about the Roaring Kitty posts on X. That kind of market volume and movement was in now way caused by retail only. This action is related to market manipulation by market makers and large hedge funds that have been illegally selling phantom shares.
I would like to say I expect more from Scott, but this is the same guy that repeatedly praises Apollo and says what a great group of guys they are. lol.
AI was a bubble as soon as they branded neural network programming as AI.
Hell, even neural network is a bullshit term.
The Gamestop thing is plausible deniability and is 100% market manipulation, dumb af, sure, but manipulation nonetheless
