Not gonna say we told you so...we'll let the toilet paper budget do the talking instead. That's right, thousands of people who are on Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro are reportedly suffering from debilitating stomach damage and even cases of "forever diarrhea", according to lawsuits being filed against the drugmakers. Plus, crybaby Bill Ackman is on a posting spree! What's he crying about THIS time? Lastly, we've got the Iowa caucus results, what they mean, and why they're important.

ITS OUR 50TH EPISODE AND WE HAVE A SURPRISE!
As if our tech overlords couldn't be any lamer or more cringe, the marketing folks at Canva dropped the most amazing, gut-wrenching promotional stunt we've seen in years. Plus, $NVDA drops another banger of a quarter, Ben gives his take on some stocks, Google AI search results are hallucinating like they're on drugs, Vivek bought a stake in $BZFD, and Chipotle is under fire for criminally small portion sizes. Ok I'm out of breath.

The Meatball Special Episode 4: How to sell a TV show

We lost a big one, guys. A true legend. Above all else...a chainsmoker. We take a moment this week to talk about Jim Simons, who he was, and why you should care. Then we've also got a couple young guys who died suddenly at Bank of America, which is...bad. But anyway then we're talkin about HIMS now offering GLP-1 drugs, and of course, finally, we gotta talk about the ongoing drama over at OpenAI. Sam Altman is clearly a little drama slut.

BAES 49: RIP to the baddest chainsmoker

WE ARE SO BACK BABY!! Or are we...? A single tweet from Roaring Kitty has single handedly ignited a firestorm of trading in Gamestop and AMC stocks. So is he really back? Is he aping fat bags? Ben has a theory that might upset you.
Also we're covering the absolutely insane announcements from OpenAI that are truly game changing. All this and more on this week's BAES.

BAES 48: Gamestop is back + the future is BRIGHT

This week we've got the brilliant  @julesterpak  on to talk about how the proliferation of technology, social media, and the internet at large are shaping society right under our oblivious noses. Is it too late to save the masses? Are we better off reverting to dumb phones? What is happening to our stupid little brains and who is going to step in and do something about it?
