BG2Pod with Brad Gerstner and Bill Gurley

I like listening to these dudes because they draw attention and discuss important business topics and ask important questions that they try and answer, and if they don’t, they frame the conversation in a meaningful and insightful way. I don’t need to hear about your weekend. I know you are rich, but you don’t need to remind me every 6 minutes.

Gurley is thoughtful and realistic. He needs a better counterpart.

The amount of times my eyes pop out of my head due to the incredulous things said in an attempt to save face and not appear like total MAGA —even though they are foaming at the mouth to give the current administration glowing praise —is truly remarkable. One of my guilty pleasures is listening to wealthy and out of touch Americans go through mental and verbal gymnastics to legitimize economic trends and the market. Ultimately, it makes me feel like I too can be an emu with my head in the sand. I listen to this show as an Everyman, looking to get an edge in on trends that keep the rich getting richer. But I definitely disagree with some of the hosts assertions. The episode mentioning America being the most philanthropic society in the history of civilization was laughable at best and extremely dangerous disingenuous gaslighting at worst (esp considering what is going on in America at the moment). I’ll still listen to them bc I love to see how performative but morally corrupt people like to spin things.
