I love Balaji and love what you've been doing with Samo as well. What would it take to get these two to talk. From his comments I know Samo is already aware of the network state, and I'd bet Balaji is aware of Samo. You're the perfect guy to host this conversation
Stop reposting. Some of us hang for new episodes. If you are that desperate for some filler, sling me a time slot and I'll fill it. Maybe. Can I interview Balaji?
The first ten minutes is Balaji saying that the US government didn't uncover FTX's misdoing, crypto Twitter did. The justice system obviously moves slower than random people in the industry do on twitter, like this is such childish nonsense@@petermitchell4523
Any critical analysis, any real investigative journalism, and any divergence from the establishment narrative is now deemed conspiracy theory by npc conformist parrots.

Another Balaji Banger! Thanks Erik!
One of the best podcasts I've seen in a while
Balaji for President.
Balaji is the GOAT

what mouse is Balaji using? edit: looks like Microsoft Sculpt mouse (and keyboard)
Let's not forget the massive payday for the bankruptcy lawyers

Maybe.
Can I interview Balaji?
10 minute ad?!
You are mispronouncing his name pretty brutally.
2 hours of rapid paced conspiracy theories with zero pushback or discourse
Which conspiracy theories?
Conspiracy theory?
Are you lost or something?
Comment your pushback
