Hello Kathy’s!
Welcome back to the episode debrief!
We had a full house today, with Drama joining the boys in studio! He’s officially attended 50% of all episodes in the new year!! 😂😂
In todays episode:
The boys bring out the crystal ball 🔮 with some bold 2024 predictions
Reflect back on 2023
Answer the most common question from our listeners: “Who tf are these guys??” 🤔
It’s a 🔥 🔥 episode full of good projections for the year ahead, so keep on reading if you wanna get ahead of the trends!!
Presenting Your Hosts…
It’s come to our attention that, some listeners have no idea who the hosts of the show are😂 The pod is like 5 years old now, so intros are long overdue it seems.
Incase you don’t watch on Youtube (wtf are u doing, go watch it now!), your hosts are Anand Murthy, Dee Murthy and Drama (Chris Pfaff)!
That’s right. 2 Indian brothers and a white guy covered with tattoos, are the host of your favorite podcast! But lets take a second to appreciate the diversity-
2 brown guys hosting the #1 podcast in the world????
THIS IS WHAT GANDHI FOUGHT FOR 😤
Anand: BIG finance and investment guy. Was the CFO of FiveFour and Young & Reckless for 14 years. He used to work in banking but now, has turned the page to venture capital, private investing and crypto. Bottom line-He’s rich 🤑
Dee: Started a fashion brand called FiveFour, which became the first ever subscription based clothing brand! In 2009, he launched another brand Young & Reckless with Drama which went on to be wildly successful. Currently he’s pivoted into the start-up world, launching Ghost which has already raised $60 million in 2 years. Bottom line-He’s also rich 🤑
Drama: You may know him as a reality TV star from the hit series “Fantasy Factory” and “Rob and Big”. He partnered in the launch of Young and Reckless with Dee. Currently he’s running a card game business “We’re Not Really Strangers”. Bottom line-he’s rich and also famous 🤑
Now you know who your hosts are. Welcome to Group Chat 😘
A Look Back at 2023
| Dee’s Pick: NFL Football! Dee LOVES football. And 2023 was special for him cuz his son also got into football🥺 We love a father-son bonding experience over huge dudes running into each other 🥰🥰 Anand’s Pick: Taylor Swift! Duh!! 2023 was Taylors year! Her Eras Tour became the highest grossing concert of all time and STILL has another year left on tour. She dominated social media, broke music records and made the NFL even more popular this year! Drama’s Pick: The hit TV series Succession. If you need a new binge, watch it on HBO max |
| Dee’s Pick: Harvard. This year was a complete disaster for them. Early applications tumbled 17% in 2023 amidst its president controversy Anand’s Pick: Mainstream Media. The rise of Tik Tok, Youtube and podcasts has left mainstream media in the dust. People are more likely to engage in content of their choice on either of these platforms over traditional network television. Drama’s Pick: Corporate “Wokeness”. Lot’s of companies in 2023 chose “woke” movements to participate in (i.e Budlight), but found that it backfired. Choosing to be woke for profit isn’t the best way to get to a consumer these days 🤷♀️ |
| Dee’s Pick: Nvidia. Being the biggest beneficiary of the AI movement. Nvidia killed it in 2023, reaching a $1.3 TRILLION market cap. And having a super cool, badass CEO is also a bonus! Anand’s Pick: BITCOIN, BITCOIN, BITCOIN Drama’s Pick: Stock Market. S&P 500 was up 27% in 2023, and NASDAQ was up 54%. Inflation isn’t real and the economy is stupid 🤣 |
Looking Forward to 2024
The boys make some bold predictions for 2024. An exciting year for investments, business’s and white men??? 🤔
As Anand mentioned 20 times on the pod- Nothing the boys talk about is financial advice. But you’d be stupid if you don’t start looking into crypto and bitcoin. BUT AGAIN THIS ISN’T FINANCIAL ADVICE!! But Bitcoin is gold 🥇
| Anand’s Picks: Bitcoin will be at 6 figures. $100,000 in 2024. Dee’s Picks: 2024 will be a down year 📉 in the stock market. His prediction of a 10% decrease in the S&P left the others in an audible gasp 😲 . But we respect the hot take 🔥 Dramas Pick: Whatever Anand said PLUS he’s expecting some funny business to take place, just to keep Donald Duck out of the Prezzy chair! |
| Dee’s Picks: CROCS and Chinese Stocks! He finds Crocs to be extremely undervalued and has potential to s**t cash. China is hot 🔥 ByteDance, Shein, Alibaba all things to keep an eye on Anand’s Pick: AI He believes “productive” AI companies have potential to be profitable, and he name drops EvenUp Drama’s Picks: Whatever Anand said…again |
| Dee’s Picks: Middle East is in trouble The Middle East may have overplayed their hand on the sports side of things. LIV Golf will fail. BOLD. Anand’s Picks: More failed regional banks. Not bold, but we’ll take it 🤷♀️ Drama’s Picks: PGA Tour’s emergency. LIV might’ve f**ked them up, taking too many big stars. They’ll need to restructure cuz Rory can’t carry this league alone. |
| Dee’s Pick: WHITE BOYS! Hahahaha sorry this was too funny. You’ll just have to watch on Youtube for the banter 😂 Anand’s Pick: Commercial Real Estate. His sources have high hopes from this sector Drama’s Pick: Donald Trump. There’s no bigger comeback than facing 327 indictments to being President… AGAIN.  |
| Dee’s Pick: College football explodes 🧨 With the new conference changes the games are about to be 🔥 🔥 and viewership should skyrocket 🚀 Anand’s Pick: NBA’s new media rights deal will disappoint. And ESPN is in trouble. Drama’s Pick: Boxing related 🥊 Devin Haney V. ‘Tank’ Davis (Tank wins) Anthony Joshua V. Ngannou (Francis wins) |

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift tie the knot 💍 😘
Kanye is OFFICIALLY done! The fall off begins in 2024
Tik Tok shop explodes 🧨 expected revenue at $17 billion
Ozempic backlash begins! People will start to feel the side effects, whatever those may be!
