    You don't need to find out if " you need to be better" unless you lack confidence in your relationship. Just relax, be honest with each other and laugh at your supposed weaknesses or mistakes. Been married for 39 years and hardly ever had to raise my voice to my wife.

    why is a billionaire doing a video call from a room that looks like my dirty high school bedroom or drom?
  • @ph5915
    You are one of my go-to's" for interesting talks and guests!
  • @kenwarner
    22:40 am I missing something? why do you need to be right back? this is youtube, not CBS
  • @JFromAcc
    Brilliant interview for 28 minutes. Could have done without the last bit.
  • @DriveAmerican
    I like this guy. Thank you for not being bedwetters, gentlemen.
  • @JAGRAFX
    Thanks for a cogent discussion on the important issues at hand. 😊
  • AI is coming, and it will change everything, but I suspect that due to the issues in the supply chain with the highest end chips. We will not see fruition on the timeline that these valuations are promising/expecting. I don't think it is a bubble that will pop, but I think there will be a large consolidation initially and a cold winter of sorts that thins the heard substantially before it starts to take hold properly and turn into actual profit rather than bottomless investment.
  • Reids comments about student activism for Palestine were incoherent—no idea what he was trying to say. And that peculiar characterization of Iran as an “Arab” country(?). He may think they lack historical rigour, but students on campus might best be immune to his consultations.
  • @Levi-q2t
    Hit 200k today. I'm really grateful for all the knowledge and nuggets you had thrown my way over the last months. Started with 14k in May
  • Thank you Reid for being so clear in communicating how Biden can continue in the race. Importantly how finance can protect democracy and morals
  • @jacmaclar
    Listen to Allan Lichtman (not the elite bedwetters).
  • @codingparas
    Prof G has chosen sides. I didn't know this. May the best person win. An H1-B worker that pays hundreds of thousands in taxes for over 10 years looking at illegal immigrants getting green cards 😂
  • @rrrfamily565
    Reid is center left? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
  • @dholmes1330
    The lack of views on Scott Galloways content speak volumes. The times are changing and changing fast. Get ready for the new republican movement to shape the next decade.
  • @MikeHunt700
    Comments are being censored……what a surprise 😂
  • Please stop it! The whole idea of even entertaining the notion that Joe Biden is fit to campaign, much less be Commander in Chief is PATENTLY ABSURD. We all see it. This is insulting.
