This podcast was supposed to be funny, but I recognize that my humor only comes when I’m talking about serious issues.

    Elliot Page, Kevin Clancy, and the “You Problem” Problem!

    This episode examines the online fight over Elliot Page’s casting, Kevin Clancy’s “you problem” response, and the engagement machine feeding both sides. The point isn’t outrage. Most Americans have mortgages, groceries, jobs, and actual problems demanding their attention. But when media personalities deliberately launch a cultural argument for clicks, they cannot dismiss everyone who answers as irrational. Hollywood made a provocative choice; audiences are allowed to question it. We also revisit the transgender sports debate, where legitimate questions about fairness were often treated as moral failures. Follow the controversy, follow the incentives, and eventually you find the motive: engagement pays.

    NOISE

    The Most Dangerous Thing on the Internet Isn't Misinformation—It's CertaintyWe live in an age where everyone has a microphone, but very few have a filter. In this episode of Year of the Cow, we explore how algorithms reward outrage, why certainty spreads faster than evidence, and how current events—from the Charlie Kirk case to the Idaho murders and AI-driven media—have become case studies in modern information warfare. This isn't about picking political sides or defending institutions. It's about learning to think before reacting, questioning your own assumptions, and recognizing when entertainment disguises itself as truth. Because in today's attention economy, the loudest voices rarely carry the strongest signal.

    Leverage

    LEVERAGE is the force that quietly shapes wars, markets, and everyday life. In this episode of Year of the Cow, we trace the chain reaction from the Strait of Hormuz to your grocery bill, retirement account, and mortgage rate. Why does Wall Street care more about oil tankers than political speeches? Why can one shipping lane influence inflation, interest rates, and global stability? This isn't another recap of the news—it's an exploration of the second- and third-order effects that most people never see. When you understand leverage, you stop reacting to headlines and start recognizing the forces that truly move the world.

    AI Can't Be the Canary in the Coal Mine

    For the better part of two years, artificial intelligence has become the market's favorite child. Every earnings report, every conference call, every CEO seems obligated to say "AI" enough times to satisfy Wall Street. Investors have convinced themselves that AI is either going to save the economy or destroy it. I don't buy it. AI isn't the canary in the coal mine. It's the miner holding the flashlight. The real dangers are still the ones we've always known: interest rates, energy prices, supply chains, corporate spending, and human behavior. Today we're going to separate hype from reality and explain why the next correction—if it comes—won't be because AI failed. It'll be because investors forgot how markets actually work.

    Nobody Can Afford WW3!

    Everyone wants to know who is winning. Iran or America. Russia or Ukraine. China or the West. I think we're asking the wrong question. The better question is whether anyone can actually afford to win anymore. This episode explores the Strait of Hormuz, the evolving negotiations with Iran, the rise of drone warfare, and the economic realities reshaping modern conflict. We examine why military power alone is no longer enough, how leverage has become the new battlefield, and why energy, inflation, supply chains, and investing are all connected. Because the next great war may not be fought in trenches—it may be fought through economics.
