Alas; New sode of #GlitterLedger Buona Sera from my suite in Sardegna Italy where stablecoin slash wedding summer season has been thrust upon us like an ETF wrapped blunt no one asked for.I am unclear whether stables or matrimony make me want to induce my bulimia more violently but what about when combined into a nonsensical party without booze or pretentious intellectuals.Alas, I am here and high for a stablecoin themed wedding of two pathetic founders who found love at Fyre Festival. They each attended #Vassar Suma Cum F me, graduating 15 years part each worth half a bill in fiat and had the audacity to have a cash bar with no hard liquor. Sweating my spray tan and botox over fear of having to socialize with my contemporaries with more asbergers than I.   More gauche than #hemorrhoids. Crypto fixes this. Kay Bella. How does crypto fix a cash bar? Each themed table is a different stable token including both English and Italian translations; which made cocktail hour less boring but more awkward.  My lover and I were placed at Terra Luna alongside #AyatollahKhomeni and Amy Coney Barret and arbitrary low tier Blackrock analysts.   I know the bride well as I funded her last scam company liposuction in the metaverse. Her claim two fame was she was Ms Teen Runner up of Beverly Hills, but Like Saylor says there is no second best. We have a long love hate somewhat  lesbionic but glamorous history as during the #Obama years she tried to poison me with Ethereum wrapped sufuric Acid on chain after I slept with her father. But that was only because he was dying and I was trying to get a board seat at lululemon or a chic footnote in the will for the #MarkRothko in their living room. I digress, my guest today is one of my best friends Jesuit Julian M Sevillano Sevillano fellow Board Member at PayPal Digital, CEO of Wen Acquisition Corp. Wen Token. He was kind enough to stop by Glitter Ledger Headquarters just as I was coming down from my Lithium Johnny Walker Buzz. We met on a First Class #RedEye From #Burning Man to #Teterboro back when he was at McKinsey and I was at OnlyFans. We bonded over love for rare filet mignon and mutual friends in Argentinian and Wyoming Government. We unfortunately for my sponsors @Casa, Swan Bitcoin, LVMH, and GEICO had to discuss the most boring topics ever like crypto regulation but luckily Julian drops important wisdom like traditional custody is a zero money making business and read good books like  what Got You Here Won't Get You There by Marshall Goldsmith; another friend of the show. Thats all for now and see you in Cannes but not for EthCC because ETH is for poor people and I am afraid of getting poisoned for the second time. #GlitterLedgerSupport the show

In this episode, Alex and Calvin return to a favorite hobby horse: the University of Austin (UATX). First discussed back in episode 62, this ultra-conservative "university concept" is still not accredited and has no undergraduate degrees planned until at least 2028-2031. In that previous episode, we described UATX variously as right-wing academia's answer to the Fyre Festival and a pitch deck/PowerPoint scam masquerading as an education; this time, we call it a fast-casual university concept (Chipotle for higher ed). We catch up with the myriad ways that UATX continues to struggle under the weight of its own internal contradictions, while occasionally benefitting from being confused for UT Austin (home of some of our favorite previous guests, like Scott Graham and Karma Chávez).After taking stock of US free speech generally in the age of seemingly intractable US-led conflicts in the Middle East and the criminalization of student peace activism, we examine a Quillette article from Ellie Avishai asking if UATX is betraying its founding principles. As Avishai explains, her UATX research center was terminated in response to her posting a rather benign (and ideologically nuanced) LinkedIn post about DEI. We discuss how UATX's claims of championing academic freedom and viewpoint diversity necessarily conflict with its increasingly extreme anti-woke conservative agenda. Given that it is bankrolled by dark money funders and figures connected to corporate interests and political power like Harlan Crow and Joe Lonsdale, the institution appears more dedicated to fortifying right-wing ideas and providing a filter bubble than fostering genuine free inquiry. This makes it particularly ironic that its corporate doublespeak response to Avishai's termination was to use language like "wind up Mill" and "restructure." In these ways, UATX seems to combine the worst of mainstream academia (neoliberal austerity measures justified through corporate doublespeak) with new heights of conservative radicalism. Drawing on Noah Rawlings' piece in The New Inquiry, we peek into the "Forbidden Courses" summer program held at Harlan Crow's Old Parkland office complex in Dallas, where figures like Peter Boghossian and Katie Roiphe hold court. What does it mean for a university to exist primarily as a "safe space" isolating students from opposition, or worse, a "money and influence laundering operation for some of the most abhorrent ideas" (as Alex calls it)?

Comedian and fan favorite Adam Ray returns for a sharp, off-the-cuff conversation with Adam Carolla. They kick things off discussing how celebrities have become totally shameless about doing commercials and why no one seems to care anymore. Adam Ray then shares stories from his live Dr. Phil parody shows—including a standout performance at Dave Chappelle's club in Ohio and reflects on what drives him as a performer and the importance of self-responsibility in comedy. The two Adams also trade stories about being attacked by cats, and Carolla recalls catching the very first Dr. Phil show at The Laugh Factory.The conversation takes its usual unpredictable turns, covering everything from creating your own luck to Adam Ray's new character Jeremy, and why it's a good thing that the so-called "rules" in comedy have disappeared. They also riff on failed TV catchphrases, Carolla building a sandbox for Jimmy Kimmel's kids, Adam Ray's obsession with videos of above-ground pools being destroyed, Carolla's love of microwaves, and a truly ridiculous hotel incident involving Adam Ray and a can of Beefaroni.Later in the show, Ja Rule joins the guys to talk about his upcoming "Where the Party At" tour and his new whiskey brand, Amber & Opal. The conversation hits on Ja's early start in hip hop, how much his music influenced Adam Ray's childhood, and what it was like being a chart-topping artist during the peak of MTV and TRL. Ja Rule shares his take on the new era of independent artists making it big without gatekeepers and discusses the difference between closing a show for the audience versus for yourself. The guys also sample Ja Rule's whiskey, dive into tour life on a bus versus flying, and get his honest thoughts on the legacy of the infamous Fyre Festival.To close out the episode, Jason “Mayhem” Miller joins for the day's top news stories, including a mass jail escape, a wild coyote attack, Trump reportedly suing Beyoncé and other celebrities for accepting money to endorse Kamala Harris, and a new study revealing that 75 percent of store-brand sunscreens aren't effective.

How LaDonna Humphrey Used a Children's Event to Funnel Money Through Oasis of Northwest Arkansas. What happens when a glow-in-the-dark Easter egg hunt turns into a glowing red flag? In this bonus episode of PRETEND, host Javier Leiva exposes a so-called family event that promised “magic,” but delivered mayhem — all tied to LaDonna Humphrey and her questionable nonprofit, Oasis of Northwest Arkansas. Held at Mt. Hebron Park on April 12, 2025, the event was marketed as an unforgettable glow-in-the-dark Easter experience. According to the Facebook ad, attendees were told to: “Embark on an egg-citing adventure under the starry sky..." “Search high and low for luminescent treasures..." “Watch the park come alive with a kaleidoscope of vibrant colors..." “A plethora of prizes and surprises await..." But in reality, it was more like the FYRE Festival of Easter egg hunts. One parent described the event as “no different than any free egg hunt at a church”—except this one cost $50 per family. Instead of a kaleidoscope of vibrant colors, this event featured crying kids, confused parents, and a nonprofit operating in the dark, literally and figuratively.

This week on Grumpy Old Geeks, Fyre Festival rises from the ashes yet again—but not as a festival, because even Billy McFarland finally figured out he's better at selling pipe dreams than tents. Meanwhile, Amazon and Microsoft are tapping the brakes on their AI data center dreams, Google's AI keeps confidently explaining made-up nonsense like it's gospel, and Kevin Roose once again tries to convince us to have empathy for the glorified autocomplete machines. (Spoiler: We won't.) Also, OpenAI wants to buy Chrome even though they can barely afford their own lunch tabs, Perplexity says the quiet part loud about stalking your browser habits, and Meta lays off more VR developers while pretending they care about human rights.In the “it's all stupid, but at least it's entertaining” department: Uber gets sued for making it harder to cancel than joining Scientology, Adam Neumann dupes investors again, sperm racing is now a real thing (and yes, there's crypto involved), and Bluesky caves to the almighty blue checkmark. Plus, Affinity Suite reminds us you don't have to sell a kidney to escape Adobe, The Wheel of Time gets an open-world game that'll probably drop after the heat death of the universe, and Wednesday Season 2 is on the way, because Netflix refuses to let its only hits rest.Stick around for The Dark Side with Dave where we grumble about Andor Season 2, lament bad writing decisions, geek out over old-school arcade games, and learn that memory colors are apparently a thing. Oh, and if you're feeling fancy, go ahead and thank ChatGPT for wasting millions in server bills—because if Sam Altman's crying about manners costing money, we're grabbing the popcorn.Sponsors:Insta360 - The first 30 people who use code “gog” at store.insta360.com get a free 45” invisible selfie stick worth $25!DeleteMe - Head over to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use the code "GOG" for 20% off.Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

Jon Hamm might get “canceled”, Pope Francis lies in state, new Shannon Sharpe tapes, Karen Read trail, a new Bonerline, Trump baby bonus, and selfish Justin Bieber. It's the last show of the week due to Drew's oral issues. Pope Francis lies in state and the lines to see him are long. “Francis, out!” Jimmy Fallon makes the death about HIM. A baseball autographed by Francis is up for auction. Randy Kaplan needs a life and less baseballs. The Shannon Sharpe controversy is not going away as even more taped conversations have been released. It may affect his massive podcasting deal. Kanye West can do whatever he wants whenever he wants to whomever he wants. Bill Maher is getting pushback for having dinner with Donald Trump. Just a reminder that Shaq pooped his pants on TV. A video has emerged of Tyreek Hill and his baby on a balcony. Talk Tuah has tanked. RIP Roy Thomas Baker. He produced many great songs. Drew did a Steve Perry deep dive and loved what he found. It's Karen Read 2nd Trial Day! He supporters showed up and jeered the witnesses. Timothy McVeigh McNoodle was a total loser. Jason Carr is still rolling along. Call or text 209-66-Boner to communicate with the show. You don't need a video to click the Amazon link on our webpage. Jon Hamm was a bully and needs to be canceled. Justin Bieber is stuck in a cult, but is also really selfish. Billy McFarland is trying to cash out of the Fyre Festival. Dave Portnoy has a new young girlfriend who does his swimming for him. Hey Justin Blackmon… why you look different? Manhole-dodging grandma is the coolest. Katy Perry is rightfully getting pounded for her space flight. The 60 Minutes producer has moved on. There may be a $5,000 Trump baby bonus. The NFL Draft is tomorrow! RIP child-star Sophie Nyweide. RIP Zug Island Rick.
