Daniel Turner returns from northern England with a startling discovery: England is much better when you get away from Londonistan. Chris Bedford, meanwhile, prepares for a day at the races despite apparently not knowing which race he is attending.

Then the lads turn to Washington: the strange history of lobbying, Jack Abramoff, Anthony Fauci, and why Congress might actually need a much bigger budget. Along the way, they remember disgraced congressional peacocks Aaron Schock and Al Franken, and consider the looming Democratic civil war (and which faction will prove the most ruthless.)

And because civilization requires standards, this week’s cocktail is the mint julep: its history, its proper construction, and why bourbon, sugar and mint remain among America’s finer contributions to human happiness.

In this episode:

Buffett’s ‘Rule’ Could Make This Company Soar

Warren Buffett famously said that “If you don’t find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die.”

But what if your phone could do it for you? 📲

That’s exactly what Mode Mobile has created - technology that turns idle phone time into passive income. With 490M+ users in their ecosystem and $1B in earnings and savings, their EarnPhone is being called the Uber of smartphones.
With 32,481% revenue growth, they were named the fastest-growing software company in 2023 by Deloitte, and with 7 billion smartphones worldwide their market could be significantly larger than Uber’s.
They’ve just secured their Nasdaq stock ticker $MODE, and you have until August 14 to invest in their pre-IPO offering at $0.52/share.
