Baiju-induced suffering, questionable gorilla math, critical China intel you won't hear elsewhere, and real talk on dodging burnout.

About the episode: 👀🧠
🤢 Ever tried Baiju? Witness the raw pain (and Nick's questionable peer pressure) as we kick off EP 238 with China's potent national spirit. Then, things get WILD: could 100 average dudes really take down a Silverback Gorilla? 🦍 We dive deep into the physics, fear factor, and questionable Red Rover tactics. Spoiler: ChatGPT weighs in. 😂
After the ape debate, Nick's back from #China with a crucial report from the ground. Forget headlines – hear directly from factory owners bracing for tariff pain, shifting supply chains (Vietnam yes, Mexico no?), and the real potential impact on US shelves & jobs. 🇨🇳💸 Is this "Art of the Deal" or economic slow burn? We discuss market positioning amidst the chaos (#Bitcoin, #Stocks, #Gold).
Finally, feeling fried? We break down #burnout inspired by RSA's (Bankless) 90-day reset. Is it misalignment? Dopamine depletion? The hell of context switching? We explore practical ways to reclaim focus and energy, even if you can't unplug for 3 months. 🧠🔥
It's raw, unfiltered talk on bizarre hypotheticals, critical #geopolitics, market strategy, and surviving the grind. Grab a (non-Baiju) drink & tune in.

About the episode: 👀🧠
Stuck questioning EVERYTHING after that last DMV visit? Us too. This episode, we dive deep into the bureaucratic vortex AND the bigger chaos swirling around us. From heated debates on whether baseball is dying vs. MLS rising , why the NBA kinda sucks now , and the surprising argument that insane talent might actually be a curse (🤯 ft. Kobe, MJ, Messi talk), we cover the field. Then, we unpack Eric's new dad journey vibes , the value (and psychology) of sports, and the eternal battle of innate genius vs. relentless grind. PLUS: We dissect the massive implications of Trump's China tariffs – is it a masterstroke from the "Art of the Deal" playbook or economic suicide? 🇺🇸🇨🇳💸 We explore the potential fallout, the "two Americas" vibe, and even touch on Alex Jones, free speech erosion, and the underlying culture/holy war. 🙏🤔 It's your essential dose of navigating sports, life pivots, economic shockwaves, and cultural fault lines, served unfiltered.Grab a drink (maybe a ZBiotics first 😉) and settle in.

*About the episode:* 👀🧠
Still reeling from the tariff whiplash and market madness? Us too. The radically moderate crew jumps back into the fray, dissecting the fallout, Shopify's bold (and maybe job-killing) AI mandate, and the wild reality of de-extinction – seriously, dire wolves are back?! We also get real about the profound life shift of new fatherhood, debate killer (or maybe crazy?) golf simulator business ideas, and question if robot waiters are the future. It's your weekly dose of navigating finance, tech disruption, and life's big pivots, served chill.

About the episode:
👀🧠Dive into this raw, unscripted conversation as the "Radically Moderate" crew breaks down Trump's sweeping tariff policy and its potential economic fallout with candid financial insider perspective. The hosts tackle everything from China's strategic positioning to the psychological impacts of today's political climate, while offering both biting humor and nuanced takes on masculinity, Gen Z's anti-smartphone movement, and the return of supersonic travel. Between sips of old-fashioneds and colorful anecdotes about pickleball ("dinking"), they deliver practical wisdom on navigating market volatility alongside thought-provoking discussions about what truly drives men's sense of purpose. Perfect for young professionals looking to understand how Washington's decisions affect their wallets without the partisan spin flooding your feed.

About the episode: 👀🧠
Dive into this raw, unfiltered conversation where the "Radically Moderate" crew tackles everything from AI's rapid evolution to China's strategic tech positioning and America's industrial future. While the hosts sip old-fashioneds and discuss their Tesla experiences, they deliver sharp insights on how DeepSeek could challenge Western AI dominance, why reindustrialization is more complex than political rhetoric suggests, and whether DoorDash's new payment plans signal economic trouble ahead. This episode perfectly balances financial analysis on Bitcoin plays by GameStop with grounded perspectives on work-life optimization and modern masculinity, all delivered with the laid-back authenticity that makes complex topics accessible without dumbing them down.
