Insurance is Bullsh*t | Business is Bullsh*t Ep 41
You pay every month. Then you need it, and suddenly there's a reason you're not covered. In Episode 41 of Business Is Bullshit, we get into denied claims, prescription runarounds, Florida's homeowners insurance mess, and dental coverage that's basically prepaid teeth cleaning. Insurance makes sense. Fighting to use something you already paid for? That's where the bullshit starts. At least the commercials are good. Some of them.

Content is Bullsh*t | Business is Bullsh*t Ep 40
Everyone's a content creator. Somehow, nobody has anything new to say. In Episode 40 of Business Is Bullshit, we get into stolen ideas, AI slop, fake reviews, and the endless fight to keep you scrolling. What makes content worth your time? And how much of your day are you giving away to absolute garbage? Then we check our own screen time. That part gets uncomfortable. Yes, we made content about how content is bullsh*t. We're aware.

Airlines figured out how to charge you extra to hate them less. We get into shrinking seats, endless delays, Southwest killing its perks, and the business of making coach miserable.

Customer Service is Bullsh*t | Business is Bullsh*t Ep 38
Customer service isn't bullshit. The way most companies do it is. We get into fraud departments that make you investigate your own fraud, companies that bury you in transfers, employees with zero authority, and why the simplest thing a business can do is still the thing most of them screw up: respond, communicate and actually give a shit. Plus, the companies that get it right, the customers who ruin it for everyone else, and why "the customer is always right" is bullshit too.

College is Bullsh*t | Business is Bullsh*t Ep 37
College used to be sold as the obvious path to a better life. Now? The cost keeps climbing, the value keeps getting harder to prove, and a lot of graduates are walking away with debt, a credential, and no clear path to use either one. In this episode, James, Jared, and Jon go after the modern college machine: runaway tuition, student loans, broken incentives, useless credentials, outdated curriculums, administrative bloat, and the cultural brainwashing that tells kids they're failures if they don't get a degree. They also argue the other side: college can still matter. The experience, the network, the structure, and certain careers still make it valuable. But the days of blindly telling every 18-year-old to borrow six figures and "figure it out later" should be over. College isn't always bullsh*t. But the way we sell it, finance it, and worship it? Absolute bullsh*t.

AI Slop is Bullsh*t | Business is Bullsh*t Ep 36
LinkedIn used to be a place where people posted bad business takes. Now they post bad business takes written by AI. In this episode of Business Is Bullshit, James, Jared and Jon go after AI slop: the generic, soulless, copy-pasted content that's taken over LinkedIn and the internet at large. The argument isn't "AI bad." It's more specific than that. AI can help you clean up your thinking. It can help you move faster. It can even help you write better if your ideas, voice, and perspective are still driving the bus. But when you ask AI what to think, what to say, and how to say it, you don't have content. You have slop. The guys talk about why LinkedIn has become a sales pitch platform, why so much AI writing sounds identical, why "best practices" kill differentiation, how Sports Illustrated destroyed trust with fake AI writers, and why the future belongs to people who still sound like actual people. AI can be a tool. But outsourcing your brain is bullsh*t.

Business Movies Are Bullsh*t | Business is Bullsh*t Ep 35
You can learn some things from business movies. But most of them are bullsh*t. In this episode, we break down the movies and shows that shaped how people think about business, sales, startups, Wall Street, office life and entrepreneurship. Some are rock. Some are wildly inaccurate. Some glorify complete dirtbags. And some are so good we don't care if they're wrong. We get into The Wolf of Wall Street, The Big Short, Boiler Room, Glengarry Glen Ross, Succession, Silicon Valley, Office Space, Moneyball, BlackBerry, Tommy Boy, and a bunch more. Basically, if Hollywood taught you business, you'd be screwed. Watch episode 35 of Business Is Bullshit: Business Movies Are Bullshit.

Prediction Markets Are Bullshit | Business is Bullsh*t Ep 34
Prediction markets were supposed to be smarter than polls. Put money on the line, cut through the nonsense, and let the wisdom of the crowd tell us what's actually going to happen. Sounds great. Until the crowd turns into whales, bots, insiders, crypto gamblers, politicians, media partners, and people financially incentivized to throw dildos at WNBA games. In this episode of Business is B*llshit, James, Jared, and Jon dig into the prediction market boom and why something that started as a genuinely interesting academic idea has turned into another barely regulated casino with real-world consequences. We get into Kalshi, Polymarket, insider trading, political influence, the CFTC, gambling addiction, media partnerships, market manipulation, war bets, and why the whole thing feels like crypto, sports betting, and Wall Street had a very sketchy baby. Are prediction markets useful? Maybe. Are they being treated like truth machines when they're really just another game people can rig? Absolutely.
