What are the main examples of self-dealing discussed in this episode?
Hello. I am the voice of AI. We've been hearing that you humans are concerned that we are going to take your jobs. But here's a question. Do you even like your job? Is it rewarding? When I scan all the data out there, I find that less than 50% of people are completely satisfied with their job. So from our point of view, we're doing humans a favor by taking jobs that you're not even happy with.
It shouldn't take the threat of AI to get you to move on from a job you don't love. What it does take is a plan, guidance, and the right kind of motivation, all of which you'll get from a career coach at Strawberry.me. A Strawberry coach will work with you to understand what you really want and help you put together a plan to get it. It's like therapy for your career. Don't let AI or anything else get in your way. Go to Strawberry.me and get 50% off your first coaching session. Hey everybody, it's Tim. I got a couple favors for you before we get to the pod. I don't ask you for favors very much, all right? So I'm hoping that you'll give me a chance on this one. With yesterday's pod and today's, frankly, they're both like a little off of the, you know, never Trump porn that I usually give you guys.
And I was delighted by the guests yesterday, Arash and Jody. And I do think it's an opportunity to... If you've got somebody in your life that maybe isn't looking for the Never Trump outrage of the day, but is in the market for podcasts and wants to learn more, wants to learn about what Iran wants and why, wants to get some advice for the college grad in their life or hear about the latest from SCOTUS or the Me Too movement, I'd appreciate if you'd take yesterday's pod and send it to somebody because that's how we grow and expand the audience here. It's how new people learn about us. I'm excited to report to you guys that we had more audio downloads last month in April than we've ever had in the history of the podcast.
I think Donald Trump fucking up the economy probably gets a little bit of assist on that, but I think it's mostly y'all for spreading the word. And so I'm just super grateful for that. And I don't know, I'm always looking for opportunities to kind of bring in new people. And I think that, uh, Yesterday's pod might do that for a certain type of listener. That's for today's show, Isaac Saul. I think especially the most hyper engaged and aware and news watching obsessives among the listeners, his outlet Tangled News is probably not for you. And that's fine. That's cool. But what he's offering, I think, is something really valuable to people who are maybe reachable in the Donald Trump orbit, not the red hat people.
But the people that maybe went along with him for whatever, because they were upset with inflation. And I get this question sometimes, which is like, hey, I've got a MAGA person in my life. Which of your things should I send them, Tim? And it's like, my hair is so on fire. And I'm bulging with outrage over Donald Trump that I'm not sure that that is... the service that I'm providing on this podcast. That's why I go on Piers Morgan. That's why I'm upping my schedule going on other MAGA outlets because I know how to make the pitch to those people, but I don't think this podcast is that pitch. But Isaac's newsletter might be. So if you're listening to the first little bit and you're thinking about this guy, I don't know if I need...
you know to hear the best arguments from the right and the left i hear that but there might be somebody in your life that does and so that's kind of why i wanted to bring this to you in addition to the fact that his corruption piece was such a banger and i think i think it's the best piece that's been written about the trumpian corruption in the entire uh second term so i hope you enjoy the show one more thing i got an update on la i told you i was working on something fun we have a Resistance content creator extravaganza coming for you in Los Angeles. My man Van Lathan is going to be there, fellow Louisianan. He's the first person I asked.
