OMG, old mate Gary really showed his true colours in that interview. The longer it went, the more you see the true Gary. I do think however that people like Gary appeal to people who might never look at graphs, but surely he's gonna lose half the target audience talking like this.

Helen McCallum

London is amaze. You dont have to agree with me. Penge is best.

Roland Weber

Thanks, that was entertaining! 😄 I'll skip the full dose of Gary though.

Alex H

I need Taleb to start a beef with Gary: "Stevenson, you idiot, Graphs are Lindy and date back to the Assyrian empire. Anyone that calls themselves an economist is a fraud."

kurdelis

Huberman has made everyone who wears orange glasses look like a douche/idiot to me 😬

Subodh Kafle

The Gary segment is both hilarious and infuriating. Such a petulant man. No I will not use data because all the data is bullshit. I made a call to action to think tanks to make data that isn't bullshit but this far they have all failed me. I have 50 million views. I was the greatest trader in the history of trading, possibly ever. I really wish I could be the one person in the world producing data that isn't bullshit but unfortunately there is literally nobody making videos about inequality on YouTube so I must do that, which incidentally is the hardest part of the campaign against inequality. Besides you troglodytes wouldn't understand the graphs.

Carolina Sunshine

Sadiq khan is not only the former, but also the current mayor of London

SHOUNAK SARKAR

Damn, actually didn’t mind Gary too much when you guys first covered him! But here he sounds so conceited, plus employs extremely poor reasoning & logic. Alas, Gary has fallen victim to the guru & ego curse. BTW, how racist is Chris Langan omg? His talking points are straight up Nazi garbage. Goodwin is spreading racist BS as well, because ultimately his distaste for London boils down to the city having too many non-whites, too many Muslims etc. That’s what all these bigoted dickheads like Goodwin & Douglas Murray mean when they talk about London losing its “British identity”. It’s a dog whistle! I also still remember how Sam Harris said that “London has fallen to Islam” on your podcast!!

Salex

I learned about David Irving about same time as I learned about David Icke, in my teenage years, So in my head, they are fused together into one person and I have to remind myself to this day: Icke is the lizard guy, Irving is the holocaust denial guy. Both Davids SUCK

Salex

Gary: Do you think I just pull these predictions out of my ass? Me: Yes

HustleTron9000

What did Sydney do to catch a stray?

Dr Marti McAuley

1:18 - the rich buying up property is not about living in them! Most likely they are buying them to rent them out (some with huge portfolios of houses!). The private rented sector is around a third of all housing - owned by landlords and not all with mortgages! I don’t agree with everything Gary is saying but I think you’ve missed this point

Dr Marti McAuley

Some really interesting academic work on Rentier capitalism (which is really what Gary is going on about) by the likes of Mark Blythe and Christopher Brett, Josh Ryan-Collins, Steve Keen etc

Jen

New hypothesis: Gary can’t read graphs 📉

Tim Tripp

Cognitive empathy came up at least twice; are there plans to revisit Robert Wright?

livintheilife

You nearly got a spit-take out of me, when you expressed surprise that The Liver King isn’t part of the Trump administration. Yes, why isn’t he?! How about FDA commissioner? Great potential synergy between him and RFK. What a dream team... MAHA!

livintheilife

Loved the Peep Show reference. It’s an incredible talent you guys have. Somehow, you are able to expose us to these d-bags with a light enough touch that we keep coming back without despair. You make it more-ish, like Super Hans with his crack: https://youtu.be/tAlPwnkQURg?si=3uNJz0oPuwQexYky

Jenny

Waiting for the phone to ring seems to be a through-line for many gurus. They want to be at the table writing policy but nobody is calling them, so they’re forced to make YouTube videos

Kimberly Beer

“Gang of bastards” 🤣🤣🤣 thx you for this. Have it on as I slog through work.

Damien

One of the best SM to date. Langan really is the Nigel Tufnel of the gurusphere. Gary gets more infuriating the more I listen to him. And €8 for a pint standard in least glamourous hostelries in Dublin

Colin

"I don't want you to make graphs. I just want you to show me some graphs" "What am I superman?? I don't have time for graphs, have you seen how many youtube views I have?" This is not looking good at all for Gary's credibility.

Colin

I mean it *is* useful, or potentially useful, to have a populist channel about inequality which raises the profile of this issue, so that maybe people will cast their votes on that issue rather than for example blaming immigrants and voting for Nigel Farage. I think this is a potentially useful thing to. But "ignore graphs and data that's just the man trying to fool you" is not helpful, it's just back to square one.

Colin

And re: arrogant scientists. Yes journalists have a lot to answer for. Yes it is vibes based. But: I think it is not for nothing that these days charities who get their money directly from the public insist that the scientists they fund directly interact with carers and patients and try to explain themselves in simple terms as a condition of receiving research funds. Because scientists and science as an institution (rather than as a method) do often come over as detached and aloof. It's not very down to earth and it's a community that separates itself from the public. COVID brought that to public attention in a way that pissed people off, but it's always been true. "Science" does need to do better on that score and it is trying to, a bit anyway. Doesn't mean the lab leak is true of course.

Linda Sears

Poor Matt just wanted to watch some good WWII history content and got blindsided by Nazi propaganda. I can almost picture the moment it dawned on him that the YouTube channel was not what it seemed to be. Matt abruptly leaned back, and Ol’ Squeaky made a sudden loud noise, causing the dozing old dog beside him to jerk upwards and slink away.

Dave the Rave

Gary was too cringe in this. It think there will be an unlimited supply of clips like this for a while lol. I also think that he's more populist than guru, trying to hold him to more rigours standards and expecting him to produce evidence is like putting sunglasses on a goldfish. And I'm not saying thats not a bad thing, it is, but i just don't think it's even close to being in the scope of his project

Grignard Girlie

I loved Dr. Browne’s rant and redistributing wealth👏 I look forward to reshaping society into luxury space communism with data driven public policy ☺️

pr

What’s the problem with George Galloway?

Kerena

Peter Thiel sure talks a lot about how he is Definitely Not the Antichrist and the Antichrist couldn't possibly be someone fitting his description! It's extremely suspicious, especially because no one asked for a tech investor's opinion on Revelations. It's like asking someone, how are you, and they respond, great, definitely not embezzling from my employer! I don't believe in an Antichrist but if I did I'd be like, I think we got him boys.

PaulBFB

Listening to this i realized: both the gurus and now Matt are relentlessly bashing the mainstream media. This is the REAL horseshoe

Tobbe lobben

All of these gurus is spiralling so much. Is it because Trump takes all the attention? This is just getting sad.

teethgrinder

It always amazes me how much these feuds like LiverKing vs Rogan or Trump vs Musk remind me of the WWE. I think these guys, especially Trump are modelling these interactions quite deliberatly that way. No wonder he made Linda McMahon part of his administration.

Ben Godek

Gary really sprinted to prove DTG right about him as fast possible huh

Hereforcranks

We need a version of Peep Show with Chris Langan as Jeremy. A different breed of delusional-unrecognized-genius parasitizing Mark Corrigan. Maybe it’s a drama… maybe it’s still a comedy. Might depend fully on the chemistry between Chris and Super Hans.

Daniel VI

Gary is approaching Weinsteinian levels of narcissism and institution-bashing. All he needs is to claim that he’s been cheated out the Nobel Prize for Economics, and he will ascend to a higher plain. Great episode as always fellas!

Dries T.

To Matt's point about self-indulgence: inspired by the Book Club reading The Little Book of Aliens, I just listened back to the Mick West episodes, and though I thoroughly enjoyed it all, it did strike me that the introductory section was _really_ long. It was a good idea moving all of that into the SM series!

Kurt Ressler

You guys need to check out/review the movie Mountainhead. The writers seem to be DTG fans. The movie references All In Podcast, Musk, Huberman, Sam Harris, Peter Thiel, Bezos, etc. You’ll love it.

Nimo

If I was Gary I would've countered that it's a lagging effect. The number was going up for a long time for the common man. That's why house ownership was going up for a long time, it's about to change!

Sam Hall

The more I hear of Gary the less I like him. Find his swearing so forced and performative.

Matt Dear

My 'favourite' moment from the Kanye-InfoWars interview, was the tweet in which someone, entirely seriously stated: "People will be googling Hitler tonight" Outside of a secondary school education, as well eh?

Joshua McMonagle-Ihasz

I too much of a leftist, but the guy interviewing Gary is exactly the same as Gary using populist over simplistic points to back up his view. I just googled the gini coefficient in Uk and it's clear rising, and Gary who constantly complains about taxing wealth not income. He could have hammered that point home and showed the trend line of the gini coefficient

Andy

Gary is right, you can find graphs to support any point of view. That's why he avoids them. (And the fact that he's trying to spread a message to the general public, who does NOT resonate with graphs and numbers.) You guys are looking at this too much from an academic perspective, and not a public relations one. And at the end of the day, I'd trust the person who makes accurate predictions over someone who is trying to sway me with graphs. Gary's whole message is predicated on the ASSUMPTION that wealth inequality exists. You guys even agree that it does exist! Does anyone need convincing of that? For most people it is daily reality right now. His message is not trying to convince people that the problem exists. He's trying to raise awareness of how people can work together to change it. Nothing about Gary's personality (that you may or may not like) takes anything away from the message he is trying to spread. Forest for the trees.

Lord Brannigan-7

I'll be honest, Shattered Dreams Parkway has to be better than one of our local stations, that, due to removing a footbridge to allow electrification has gone from two to one trains a week... in one direction 😂. Lookup Pilning Railway Station on wiki if you can't sleep.

Trees

Fuck graphs! Tables ride or die!

peta austen

the whole point of a graph is to present complex data in an accessible way. If it doesn't do that, it's a shit graph 📈📉📊

Steve Smith

This is the first comment I have made here. I have been a DTG listener for at least two years, and I just joined the Patreon a few months ago. I just wanted to pass on my sincere appreciation for Chris and Matt! You two are doing such essential work for which I am deeply grateful and endlessly entertained. What actually drove me here right now was my urgent need to declare that Chris Langan instantly became my favorite guru upon hearing maybe three sentences into his wildly comical tweet in which he raged about his non-recognition by Peterson and Musk. I was not prepared for the shear ferocity of his self-aggrandizment and grievance. He is indeed a potent and uncut shot of guru-ness. Chris and Matt also seemed to be rocked back on their heels by Langan's aggressive and unabashed arrogance, which made the coverage all the more hilarious. This was peak DTG listening for me! You guys rule!

Greg T-K

Matt Goodwin should trying paying for a pint in Singapore

Catzeine

I was disappointed that the section on the Liver King did not highlight that in one of the videos threatening Rogan (I read) he was giving himself a coffee enema.
