Alfafla Encore: No Kings, No Wars | Ep. 245
Quick note: no new episode this week — we'll be back next week. This is an Alfalfa Encore from June 2025.
We mapped the machinery of forever wars, the "liberation" narrative, and what Iranians actually want. Stephen makes his case for why democracy is obsolete — and why America needs a CEO, not a president. Plus: the deportation debate and why the "No Kings" protests missed the point.

I Almost Flipped a Table at a Sushi Restaurant | Ep. 281
Arman reveals his new portfolio: 35% cash, heavy gold position, energy stocks—and why he sold all Bitcoin at $??K. Meanwhile, Eric explains why he almost flipped a table at a sushi restaurant over a DoorDash order gone wrong.
This week: A live portfolio breakdown, the Strait of Hormuz oil play, AI displacement theory, and the sushi incident that Eric's "third eye" barely stopped him from escalating.
