Zeroes Finance - ZERO FUCKS GIVEN

This week, California’s wildfires spark a deeper dive into the state’s ongoing crisis: mismanagement, a questionable climate agenda that’s burning billions without results, and, of course, Gavin Newsom’s fire-proof hair gel. Meanwhile, Trump is using his tiny hands to grab something new for a change. This time, he's eyeing control of Greenland, the Panama Canal, and even Canada. Oh, and Mark Zucke...

In our exclusive interview, Whitney Tilson, former hedge fund manager turned first-time political candidate, shares his perspective on the challenges facing New York City and the bold solutions he believes are necessary. Tilson presents his case for why fresh leadership is needed — promising to tackle crime, affordability, and economic decline with a pro-business, no-nonsense approach. From cuttin...

Luigi Mangione is finally in custody but that hasn’t stopped health insurers from dialing back recently proposed changes to its anesthesia coverage. Hunter Biden has officially been pardoned by his old man, which makes parents around the world feel at ease about coddling their own children. And they say Gen Z is a f**ked up generation… As if Fartcoin hadn’t already broke everyone’s Stupidity Meter...

This week, the Zero Fucks Given crew is back! Carson is rubbing his perfect election predictions in everyone’s face while we recap the news stories you may have missed while doom scrolling online. From Chamath's quest to "Make America Healthy Again" to North Korean soldiers discovering premium internet content for the first time, we’ve got the headlines you didn’t know you needed. It hasn't been l...

The God complex amongst Tech Billionaires has reached a boiling point. To be fair, Elon has taken a page out of the Zer0es playbook and clearly gave zero fucks with his jiggly puff dance at a recent Trump rally. Zuckerberg, on the other hand, is just trying way too hard and it’s apparently caused him to forget the true fate of Julius Caesar. As promised, we have a special announcement here at ZFG...

​​In this episode of ZFG, Carson and the team our reactions to the presidential debate, how a PhD student's cat fooled Google Scholar, Palantir CEO's odd announcement of their S&P 500 inclusion, the sketchy AI health app claiming to diagnose STIs, and much more. TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Intro 00:40 - The Cat Turned Academic Star 05:14 - Presidential Debate Recap 09:01 - Palantir's S&P 500 Inclu...

In a thrilling return of our Short Story format, Carson Block of Muddy Waters Capital sits down with Edwin Dorsey, Author of The Bear Cave. In this episode, Carson and Edwin break down the charges and allegations underlying the Government’s complaint against activist short seller Andrew Left. Edwin begins by questioning the Government theories of Andrew’s trades in the stock of General Electric (G...

When it comes to the woke agenda, few understand that the Republican Party is the true support system behind the LGBTQ community. Some might say that Freddy is just trying to rag on the US political process but he’s simply providing the facts – Republicans crashed the Grindr app due to a spike in Milwaukee.  Elon Musk continues his exodus from California, announcing that he’s moving X and SpaceX t...

The other pitched Poober. They are not the same. And just in case there were any lingering debate over who’s cooler – Freddy Brick or Mark Zuckerberg – it’s all been settled over 4th of July wakeboarding. Freddy and Carson go on to discuss President Biden’s disastrous debate performance and whether it marked the end of his re-election campaign.  Politics aside, Carson points to the cheating scanda...

The ongoing feud between James Fishback and Greenlight Capital has been ratcheted up to a whole new level. For the first time in history, a portfolio manager at a multi-billion-dollar firm was awarded a $800k bonus due to his generating ~$100 million in profits. I guess any publicity is good publicity, but James, the math doesn’t add up… Amidst elevated fears over Russian hooligans at Euro 2024, F...

Just when short sellers thought they were in the clear, Roaring Kitty has re-emerged, dealing a major blow to those taking aim at GameStop (GME). Where did Gill get the funds for such a massive position? That’s where the plot thickens… North Korea has apparently given up on its aspirations for an ICBM, that doesn’t explode immediately upon launch, after finding success with slinging trash-filled b...

In this week’s ZFG speed run, the crew covers everything from free vodka for hobos, to RFK, Jr’s brain worms, and Bill Hwang’s trial. For those still living in California, we’ve finally discovered where all your hard-earned tax dollars have been going – you’ve been buying rounds at the bar for the homeless. Independent Presidential candidate, RFJ, Jr. reveals what’s been behind, let’s just say som...

Time to get strapped in for this week’s ZFG speedrun. Ok, to be fair, it’s probably not our best choice of phrasing to use ‘strapped in’ with Harvey Weinstein at the top of this week’s episode. However, the good news for any of his jailhouse prey is that karma has come in the form of a gangrenous d*ck. Carson then weighs in on the recent passage of a bill to force the sale of TikTok. While the dat...

Coming at you with a new spin on the ZFG format, Krista, Freddy, and Carson thought we’d like to get up close and personal. No, seriously Krista, we can see your browser history in the reflection of your glasses… All kidding aside, this new format is punchier and a bit more organized than our usual journey now that Krista can read the cue cards directly on her screen. The SEC is cracking down on t...

The only thing better than watching Alex Karp coming unhinged on CNBC is the fact that one of its co-founders, who's also the Chairman of the Board of Directors, has been the one recklessly dumping Palantir stock. Is Peter Thiel a short-seller in disguise?! Surprise, surprise, more crypto has gone missing. Perhaps James Howells could've taught P. Diddy a thing or two about the proper way to dispos...

Ever wonder what the children of Texas do in their spare time? After a weekend where Carson and Freddy visited a friend’s ranch, the crew takes a minute to acknowledge the political and societal differences throughout our nation. Maybe throwing axes and dodging ricocheting bullets aren’t your cup of tea. Just be aware, going for a stroll on a beach in California is just as dicey with grandma on pa...

When things start and stop working all at the same time. Carson opens our latest episode with a personal struggle that plagues middle-aged men around the globe. As can be expected here on ZFG, we’re asking the hard-hitting questions – Which 5th grader has Gary Gensler assigned to manage the SEC’s cyber security protocols? Freddy, struggling with a bout of insecurity, seeks to set the record straig...

Happy New Year! Freddy starts 2024 off with a bang. Not only has he reverted to his 'no shoes' policy, but he kicks things off with yet another new business idea. For those of you who have yet to settle on a New Years' resolution; might we suggest brushing up on your history? The History Channel, Wikipedia, there's a wide variety of sources. But if we're brutally honest, South Park might be one of...

If you ever find yourself questioning your intellectual capabilities, just remember, Josh Mitts is still a Professor of Law at Columbia Law School. Whatever your feelings about his past work, there’s zero question about the complete lack of academic rigor, accountability, accuracy, intellectual honesty – whatever the hell you want to call it – in his latest research paper Trading on Terror?. Fret...

Although the Shark of Wall Street (“Carson”) isn’t donning his trucker sweater, he does have another colorful shirt for this week’s podcast. For those of you who’ve seen Episode 33 of ZFG ( Stocks and Cocks at Fashion Week ), it needs no explanation. But by some twist of the imagination, might he be trying to tell us that he actually enjoyed his TSA touch-up? Freddy had a good time in Mexico, whic...

If at all possible, try to divert your attention away from the t-shirts. The first rule of T-Shirt Club is: you do not talk about the damn t-shirts! The larger issue at hand isn't Freddy trying to revive the puffer style from the 1980s, it's the onerous regulations placed on private funds, particularly in light of the absurd proclamations frequently spewed by Cathy Wood. On a lighter note, does an...

Leonardo DiCaprio is back in the news and it’s not for his latest movie, Killers of the Flower Moon. Sure, with his endless stream of 25-year-old girlfriends, we could be forgiven for thinking he’s just another Pay Pig. But after further consideration, Carson and Freddy think there might be some master plan at work. Was Vittoria searching for Leo’s stash of Skittles or just looking to add a little...

There’s been a new addition to the offices at Muddy Waters headquarters and it’s only the start of a major makeover to the conference room. Carson explains how he came across a stash of conference room chairs, which come from a very special place in financial history. Freddy goes on to share his ideas for how they might freshen up the artwork. After a lengthy debate, we’re still not entirely sure...

For starters, let's all give Krista a big round of applause for finally nailing an intro. No, seriously, because that's about the only thing she stays on track with, in this week's ZFG. In what began as a discussion about fashion, or lack thereof, the focus quickly shifts to Freddy's foot fetish, which knows no bounds. And, as bizarre as that sounds, it pales in comparison to Bryan Johnson's quest...
