Welcome back! This week I’m joined by a fellow brown boy, Pakistani AI expert Raph No Simmons — and we’re off to a rolling start. We kick things off with a story about a girl we both used to see, and somehow that spirals into our shared love of 9/11 memes (don't ask, just listen). From there, we dive deep into Uber culture, bot farms, and how politicians weaponize social media to manipulate public opinion. Then we break down the Sydney Sweeney x American Eagle backlash, how it got hijacked by Trump on Truth Social, and what that says about the current state of influence. That takes us into a broader convo about morality, AI ethics, and digital manipulation — including a story from my time at Atlantic Records, where I helped build a fake-it-til-you-make-it campaign that worked. Raph closes it out with a wild college story about how a stupid nickname almost got him and his boys kicked off campus. Tune in as we discuss all of this + more!
