Ep37 Bridgewater but with Monster Alpha

Zeroes Finance - ZERO FUCKS GIVEN ·

2023/12/01

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, which makes you wonder why he’s so sensitive to sitting down. Speaking of bizarre stories, we get a first-hand

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 anyone remember the childhood dream of becoming an astronaut? Carson shares a few excerpts from a NYT

Ep35 Pay Pigging with Leo

Zeroes Finance - ZERO FUCKS GIVEN ·

2023/11/03

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 spice to the hors d’oeuvres? Speaking of having it stuck to you, John Paulson recently made headlines

Ep34 Drunk or High, Columbus or Musk?

Zeroes Finance - ZERO FUCKS GIVEN ·

2023/10/13

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 which state wins in a sporting event – drunk or high. Leave us a comment with your vote! Along the way,

Ep33 Stocks and Cocks at Fashion Week

Zeroes Finance - ZERO FUCKS GIVEN ·

2023/09/29

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 to relive his awkward teen years. At this point, you're probably feeling a bit queasy and wanting to

Ep32 Spoofing at the Silent Pickleball Disco

Zeroes Finance - ZERO FUCKS GIVEN ·

2023/09/15

After two weeks away, the ZFG crew is back, and with some very important news - Tiger Global is back! With the NASDAQ roaring back in 2023, the Golden Levered Benchmark Boy is back in the black, as well. And to demonstrate the rigorous analysis that has gone into generating this terrific rebound in performance, Freddy shares a few anecdotes from eavesdropping on a recent conversation in Silicon Valley. And, no, we know what you're thinking - he wasn't out there pitching Poober to SoftBank, whose

Ep31 Fire Porn and Hobby Horsing

Zeroes Finance - ZERO FUCKS GIVEN ·

2023/08/18

After holding down the fort for the summer, Krista welcomes Freddy and Carson back from vacation. Freddy kicks things off with his Business Idea of The Week, which unfortunately appears to be a mainstay for Season Two of Zero Fucks Given. Krista, still in a vacation mindset – just kidding, she wasn’t allowed to leave the office – has been all too eager to tell her friends about Hobby Horsing, the newest Olympic sporting event. After recalling the fantastic coverage of Crispin Odey, Carson shares one

Ep30 The Premier of Toasted Zebra

Zeroes Finance - ZERO FUCKS GIVEN ·

2023/06/16

Coming to you from the masterminds behind Poober and eBay for human organs, we bring you the Toasted Zebra! Inspired by Carson's own wife, Freddy introduces their latest business idea - the Lululemon of women's drinking helmets. Once the excitement fades, Krista and Freddy take us down a long line of depressing news developments. From touchdown dances celebrating the takeout of one of Muddy Waters' short targets, to the PGA/LIV golf merger, and Instagram's algos promoting child pornography; it's

EP29 Risk Managing A Potential US Default

Zeroes Finance - ZERO FUCKS GIVEN ·

2023/05/26

The crew is back from Institutional Investor's award ceremony and Krista is still beaming from her nomination. Although she doesn't quite remember the events of that night, Freddy reminds her that Boaz Weinstein robbed her of true fame, though we suspect the judges were taking a page out of the Clarence Thomas playbook. Carson broaches the topic that's been on every investor's radar: How to manage your portfolio around the unknown known event of a potential US default? Carson and Freddy have gone

EP28 King Zevinsky and Pablo Escobar Talk Scandals

Zeroes Finance - ZERO FUCKS GIVEN ·

2023/05/05

At long last, the man at the heart of the Kenyan chess scandal has been brought to justice! Freddy, never one to put too much effort into his footwear, finds it comical that the size-11 sneakers weren’t spotted beneath the burka. The real question comes from whether it’s necessary to separate men and women for chess tournaments. Bodybuilding competitions? Absolutely. But chess? Perhaps the answer lies with Matt Moulding who is eager to lend a hand with some of his protein. After getting through

EP27 The El Chapo of Skittles

Zeroes Finance - ZERO FUCKS GIVEN ·

2023/04/14

What do gerbils, Richard Gere and the Dalai Lama have in common? It might have something to do with cuckolding but at the very least, we can definitively say that they’re fun-loving creatures. Freddy goes on to explain his own religious beliefs and how his current views may have been shaped by a majestic fjord. In keeping with this theme of beauty, Carson details his latest trip to California where, unfortunately, policy makers are doing everything in their power to suck the fun out of an all-time

Ep26 Don’t Mess With the Dayan

Zeroes Finance - ZERO FUCKS GIVEN ·

2023/03/31

For anyone who missed the 93rd Academy Awards earlier this month, Krista leads off with a masterpiece that deserved to be on the short list to win Best Documentary Short Film. In a pleasant twist from revealing the shortcomings of employees at Muddy Waters, we learn that Krista is proficient with sign language. Many find such a skill worthy of celebration, but we come to find out it was Krista’s interpretation of Freddy’s learner’s permit that led him to believe he had earned his driver’s license

Ep25 Debating the Incestuous Bank Bailouts

Zeroes Finance - ZERO FUCKS GIVEN ·

2023/03/17

In light of the recent mini-crisis across the US banking sector, Carson Block sits down with Soren Aandahl of Blue Orca Capital for a special episode of Zero Fucks Given. Shortly after the news dropped, Carson went into scramble mode, trying to find an opposing view on the prudence of the Silicon Valley Bank bailout. Soren, happy to enter the debate, believes policy makers made the right decision in a very difficult situaiton. Moral hazard concerns aside, he argues that the measures deployed were

Ep24 A Poober Pitch and Porn Zoom Bombs

Zeroes Finance - ZERO FUCKS GIVEN ·

2023/03/10

Beyond any stretch of rational thinking, one of Freddy’s business ideas from 2022 still seems to be alive and kicking. With his fresh new swag, Carson lends his support to a reimagined Poober and tries to attract SoftBank’s interest with one of the largest TAMs in the market today. Brendan Schlong probably has some regrets about his dust up with Muddy Waters on his Pantheon Resources bet, but he’s not to be outdone by the Sheep of Wall Street, the apparent heir to Neil Woodford’s ‘contra’ throne

Ep23 Sydney Meets Chamath at the Museum

Zeroes Finance - ZERO FUCKS GIVEN ·

2023/03/10

Freddy is back, and we quickly find out that he spent his entire time away in the fetal position, with nightmares of failing another driver’s test. Carson goes on to console him, while lamenting the reality that his dreams of being the Andrew Carnegie of penis museums has been dealt a major setback. As Krista and Carson reveal, there are really only two litmus tests for working at Muddy Waters – you can either pronounce Reykjavik or you can ride a bike – pick your poison. Just how scary is

Ep22 The Zen of Ross Gerber

Zeroes Finance - ZERO FUCKS GIVEN ·

2023/02/10

Ross Gerber continues his victory over short sellers tour by dropping in on the Muddy Waters team and reminiscing over how Carson once felt like Ethan Hawke at the kitchen table in Training Day across from him and Cathie Wood. Ross, who lives in LA, makes a convincing case that they would’ve found southern California much less annoying to live in than the Bay Area. The team then unanimously pleads for Ross to send unwanted former Victoria’s Secret models to Austin. The Muddy Waters team then

Ep21 Deify the SEC

Zeroes Finance - ZERO FUCKS GIVEN ·

2023/02/03

With Freddy on a vacation tour of Europe’s most sun-kissed penitentiaries, and the gang in Texas trapped at home by a classic Austin ice-storm, it’s remote week at Zer0es. Freddy brings us the latest in Scottish prison politics; the Zer0es crew tactfully declines to learn more. Then it’s time for business. Calling in from the East Coast, Roddy Boyd breaks down last week’s hootenanny at Occupy the SEC. The crew takes a zaftig Lady Justice as a symbol for the everyday American’s love of conspiracies,

Ep20 Muskovites Occupying the SEC

Zeroes Finance - ZERO FUCKS GIVEN ·

2023/01/27

Elon Musk is at it again and he's fired up his incels to occupy the SEC. Worried about missing it? Have no fear, the Zer0es crew will have their man, Roddy Boyd, on the ground to give you an inside look at Drooler's Paradise. Not to be outdone, Freddy digs up an old business idea for college textbooks, and this one might actually stick. What has camels so pissed off that they've taken a page out of the Occupy movement? Much like Musk's incels, they seem to be fed up with the endless beatings. On an

Ep19 George Santos, Sex Dolls and Snakes on A Plane

Zeroes Finance - ZERO FUCKS GIVEN ·

2023/01/13

In our first episode of 2023, Krista and Freddy lead off by expressing their admiration for Carson's Greek God-like beach bod. After cleaning up their drool, the crew tries their hand with a new format. In what some might describe as an explicit news station, the trio revisit a handful of stale stories that fail to live up to Carson's standard for 'breaking news.' Freddy lays out his belief that Krista is far more qualified for the Republican Party than George Santos, but that all hinges on whether

Ep18 The Year of Schadenfreude

Zeroes Finance - ZERO FUCKS GIVEN ·

2022/12/31

As we stare down the final days of 2022, Carson is channeling his inner David Goggins and extolls the benefits of waking up at 4am. With all the extra time to think, Carson ties together his biggest schadenfreude moments of the past, present, and what that might mean for 2023. Could he be on to a groundbreaking story? For Freddy, he's thoroughly enjoyed the rolling blow-ups in SPACs, crypto and the unbearable Venture Capital industry. If there's one thing for certain, Carson and Freddy both agree
