BAES 53: Is Tesla the next Enron?
Enron went belly up after their house of cards collapsed in 2001. They used deceptive accounting practices and promising business developments to keep the music going as long as they could. In Tesla's case, history may not be repeating, but it certainly rhymes -- the red flags on Tesla have been piling up for years. Our question is: how much longer can this go on?Leave a comment to be featured as the comment of the week next week!And also, like this video!

BAES 49: RIP to the baddest chainsmoker
We lost a big one, guys. A true legend. Above all else...a chainsmoker. We take a moment this week to talk about Jim Simons, who he was, and why you should care. Then we've also got a couple young guys who died suddenly at Bank of America, which is...bad. But anyway then we're talkin about HIMS now offering GLP-1 drugs, and of course, finally, we gotta talk about the ongoing drama over at OpenAI. Sam Altman is clearly a little drama slut.Leave a comment to be featured as the comment of the week next week!And also, like this video!
