I guess itâs the move Blutoâs doing where heâs flapping/pumping his arms.
Also, I finally finished the episode. Some more thoughts:
I grew up in Savannah and only ever heard Beaufort called BYOO-fert.
Dave Coulier was Joey. Stamos was Jesse.
Iâve been married eleven years and still fiddle with my ring.
His boys may be young enough to have missed it. Iâll bet he knows about Skibidi Toilet though, which also has a movie and tv series in the works.

Well said
Just caught up on the latest Chop Sesh. Just a few thoughtsâŚ.
-
The whole gaming, Fortnite/Roblox discourse was very funny. Are our guys officially too old to cover some topics?
-
Dave Coulier was Uncle Joey; Stamos was Uncle Jesse; tough flip at the bottom from Big to get wrong.
-
The wide sweeping rejection of new technology and AI was quite funny; continuing to question if the boys have evolved into âthe olds.â
-
We do need a mea-culpa from 2 alleged âball knowersâ on not confidently saying the Giants play in New Jersey.

Listening to the Chop Sessions for 3 years now, I fully believe the pronunciation stuff is a bit. There is just simply no way they miss with that frequency without it being on purpose. The amount of double clutching to the wrong pronunciation is top tier comedy in my book. (Although I have never once in my life heard someone say âWhale-bergâ other than Neil, which I also think is funny.)
As always this is with love because there is absolutely nothing I would change about the Trap Draw. I love the randomness and seemingly just stream of consciousness that is the Chop Sessions.
Happy New Year, cheers, and thank you Mr. Jeezy.

I stand with TC and Randy. AI is the next dot com bubble. Thereâs a use for it, but itâs nowhere as useful as the money thatâs being put into it. Crypto finally collapsing might be Black Tuesday for the tech bros.

Loved hearing TC and Randy give a shout out to Ed Zitron and his newsletter. That newsletter slaps.

I have a lot of dumb friends from HS who are all in on AI and Crypto.
Ponzi Schemes.
Yes I realize AI has tremendous use but totally agree with you

It did collapse in 2022 when FTX was exposed, but somehow rebounded. I donât get it.

The conflating of Crypto vs. just Bitcoin is kind of funny to me. The golf equivalent is the PIF and LIV.
While colloquially they are used interchangeably they are different things, and swapping them in an out very much changes the topic of discussion.
AI doesnât deserve the current level of investment being thrown at it , but itâs not far off.

For me, one of two things will eventually happen.
Less Likely - a rug pull of some sorts. I know people will say it canât happen, but I donât buy it. Youâre telling me nobody anywhere can manipulate a massive, unregulated financial market? Please.
More Likely - Crypto will be shown to finance a massive terror attack or similar crime and the US Government will crush it.
Either way, bad investment, eat the rich

How? Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency.

Because while there are tons of the meme coins and alt currencies; I would never compare them to Bitcoin.
Yes, Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency, but not all cryptocurrencies are Bitcoin.
The âponzi schemeâ really applies to those meme/alt coins. Bitcoin has a very solid track record. Investing your life savings would be asinine. But take all the cash you would spend sports betting and put into Bitcoin at the right time? You could really end up having some actual serious cash.
I guess where I net out is; the sweeping generalization that all crypto is fake/Ponzi scheme or as Big said ânot realâ is a little misleading. A friend of mine just paid off his car loan and his wifeâs when Bitcoin surged over 100k. Thatâs not really fake.
It is fake, though. If you buy stock, you are buying a share of a company. If you buy a bond, you are buying actual debt. If you invest in real estate, land gets more scarce. Crypto is all made up and can collapse at any time. Bitcoin may not be as fraudulent as other cryptocurrencies, but it is a cryptocurrency.
And I donât gamble (aside from small pools). Those casinos and sportsbooks make money for a reason.
And past performance is no guarantee of future gains.

Is there really any fundamental difference why Bitcoin is worth X and Dogecoin is worth Y? The only thing âbackingâ these and driving value is sentiment. With nothing tangible tied to these instruments, their value is extremely fragile and is not that far off from being fake.

Okay I am waving the white flag on the crypto talk. I probably shouldâve left that part out.
This level of discourse on the topic is my version of âWhere did it cross twitter.â
Itâs fake, donât risk your money.
Itâs a pretty simple question: whatâs providing your currency with its value? Currency has value because governmentsâ central banks say theyâll recognize it as being âworthâ something. Crypto has nothing backing it and it doesnât provide you any asset in return for your money. It may as well be a digital baseball card. Iâm not denying that people are making money from holding/trading it, but I legitimately donât understand the use case for it. And whenever the question is asked, nobody can provide an answer, which is a massive red flag.
