Friday Night Fights and Executive Odors - Afterhours

Friday Night Fights and Executive Odors - Afterhours

Author: China Shop Productions December 24, 2025 Duration: 47:22

Dan and Rae join Kyle after watching Jake Paul's brutal loss to Anthony Joshua… Six rounds of running followed by getting his jaw broken in two places. They break down why the fight was less boxing match and more public execution, discuss whether we're obligated to keep watching Paul's fights, and debate if spectacle has completely replaced sport in modern entertainment.

Ray fills us in on her political aspirations: she's running for Ohio governor as a Republican to ensure voters have a choice on the primary ballot. The gang discusses closed primaries, political kayfabe, and why sometimes the art project IS the point.

Trump signs an executive order to reschedule marijuana from Schedule 1 to Schedule 3 but what does that actually mean for dispensaries, research funding, and your weed stocks? The crew debates whether executive orders are just temporary wins that get undone every four years.

Plus: AI customer service is garbage (Kyle's Lowe's nightmare), why AI makes up 70% of its research, Peter Piper Pizza's AI phone ordering disaster, Darwin Awards haven't been given since 2022, frontrunners to replace Jerome Powell as Fed Chair, and why Germans use "Kevin" as an insult for annoying Americans.

Topics: Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua fight recap, marijuana rescheduling Schedule 3, Ray Faba Ohio governor campaign, AI customer service failures, executive orders, Fed Chair replacement, boxing vs spectacle

Dan:

Dan co-founded 2 Bulls in a China Shop with Kyle when their shared passion for active trading ignited during the lockdowns. Their daily discussions about trades, interests, and the valuable lessons learned created the bedrock for what eventually evolved into both the 2 Bulls in a China Shop and Band of Traders podcasts.

While navigating the complexities of trading, Dan infused humor into the shows with his self-deprecating wit and candid discussions about their trading experiences. This dynamic duo's chemistry became the catalyst for a podcast that resonated widely, capturing the attention of a diverse audience.

Rae:

Rae Faba is running for Ohio Governor as a Republican because she refuses to live in a kayfabe world. Pro wrestling fan, cyborg with a metallic arm, and firm believer that primaries should have more than one candidate... She's not asking you to vote for her, just asking to be on the ballot so voters have a choice. Also, she has campaign money in a Ziploc baggie on her refrigerator and her first donation was $10 in $2 bills. Find her canvassing or follow her campaign on Facebook for the most entertaining political art project in Ohio. ***This Bio generated by Lowe’s Customer Service Agent. I found something it CAN do***
