0:28This is Nick. restaurants are trying a wild new thing to make money. 200 pound public tuna carvings. Forget taco Tuesdays, it's tuna Tuesdays. For our second story, the president just legalized red dye diesel for everyone to try to lower the record high fuel prices. But Wall Street can predict the future of diesel prices and we'll tell you the price in 2028. And our third and final story, the new movie about Sam Altman, Artificial. It's so intense that Amazon dropped it. So we'll tell you about all the lead characters who are real life people running businesses today with the world in their hands.
1:03But besties, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories. What a mix of stories. Love the mix for Ceviche Wednesday, Jack. Last year, we did a story on Warren Buffett's wild reading obsession. I mean, Warren Buffett, the world's greatest investor, reads 500 pages of books, newspapers, and reports a day. It's a lot of reading. But now that Warren has officially retired from Berkshire Hathaway, we have an update on his media habits. Get this, Warren Buffett is a YouTube fan. Correction, Warren Buffett is a YouTube stan. Yeah, double correction. Warren Buffett is a take-me-down-the-rabbit-hall-nightly YouTube maxer, according to the journal.
1:34And after reading this article, we'd say Warren's watch list is a little unhinged. So, Jack, what does Warren Buffett binge on YouTube for two hours before bedtime? 1950s TV commercials. Nostalgia never dies. Classic. Glenn Close movie clips. I love a good movie clip. You know, I'm addicted to that stuff. And then 50-minute-long videos of freight trains just rolling down the railroad. My three-year-old son loves him, too. Oh, and one more thing Warren Buffett loves, Uzbekistan's version of America's Got Talent. No joke. Don't judge, Nick. We've all got our kinks. Uzbekistan's Got Talent. It's got 35 ,000 subscribers and Warren Buffett is one of them.
2:08Now, to sprinkle on some more context, this 96-year-old legendary investor, he was famously slow to invest in tech companies. But Warren's last big investment before retiring was in YouTube's owner, Google. Proof that he was just investing in what he eats. Side note, though, Warren Buffett's favorite movie, it's actually lost in translation. So he also subscribes to about a dozen Bill Murray fan channels. But Warren's best friend, Charlie Munger, had an even better nighttime ritual than YouTube, didn't he, Jack? A chocolate chip cookie, a glass of milk, a good book, and one episode of Seinfeld.
2:37Yada, yada, yada. Besties, this is not investing advice. But Warren Buffett would probably crush it with a Get Ready With Me video. Let me put on some moisturizer while I buy some high-dividend, high-value stocks. Jack, let's hit our three-story. 15 years before this song, two boys from the Northeast met in the dorm. They had an idea to cause a cultural storm. It's the best one yet, but the best is the norm. Jack Nick, that's it. I don't even think they need to practice. 50%, that's a fat tip.

For our first story, sushi restaurants are getting theatrical to fill tables. They're carving up 200 pound tunas for all to see. It's Tuna Tuesday. It is. It's also a public butchering. It is. And it's also saving sushi restaurants in America. Yes, it is. But besties, over the weekend, Jack and I went for our runs and listened to a New York Times Daily episode about how the restaurant business model is broken.
5:54They profiled one restaurant in Minnesota that couldn't make a profit. So they decided to take prices off the menu and switch to a pay what you want method. But ironically, they made more money that way. And how did they do that? Giving away food for free, Jack. I guess diners realize, wow, this restaurant needs money to survive. They're kind of doing a donation model. I really like this restaurant. I'll pay 20 bucks for pancakes and bacon instead of the$12 they used to charge me. They made more money that way because Bestie's relentlessly rising labor, food and energy costs and relentlessly less willingness to pay from us diners is an equation for restaurant failure.
6:28So we've been covering creative ways that restaurants are surviving in this economy. We told you how martini menus are a total profit puppy. Or Jack, what was that one you loved we did a story on last year? Dishoom. At the end of the meal, the waiter gives you a dice to roll, and if you roll a six, your meal is free. A much more creative way to offer 16.6667 % off everybody's meal. It's basically like a happy hour, but it's only offered before 6 p.m., so they draw in diners at an unpopular time using a dice roll. But the newest creative move to increase the economics of eating in America is tuna carving.
6:59Public tuna carving straight out of the French Revolution. Restaurants are ordering full tuna fish from Japan and carving them publicly as a visual spectacle in the restaurant for all the tables to see. Jack is like a bio class with a tasty reward at the end. The new date night flex is a three hour tuna butchering. But let's sprinkle on some context to this fascinating story, Jack. Tuna carving is a historic tradition in Japan. Restaurants offer it as entertainment events to the public. And actually, the practice goes back to the late ninth century in Japan. We're talking a 1200 year delicious tuna tradition.
7:31In January earlier this year, we covered on this pod a record tuna carving in Japan. 3.2 million bucks for a 600-pound fish as an auspicious sign for the whole Japanese economy in 2026. But in the last year, American sushi restaurants have launched their own table-side tuna carvings and framed it as an event. It began at one restaurant in Las Vegas in 2023, and now it's gone nationwide, and we got the receipts, literally. First of all, the logistics to ordering a half-ton fish, they're pretty fishy. Jack and I jumped in T-boy style. You're going to need a giant fridge. You're going to need your own sword.
8:04And you're also going to need a pro carver. No joke. It actually takes 10 humans to handle and lift and cut this six foot long fish. But when you break down the economics on like a per fin basis, it's actually not as expensive as you think. It's less per pound because fish companies charge$25 per pound for pre-cut filets of fish, but$15 per pound if you take the whole fish. Oh, and if you do have a trained carver on your team, then that whole tuna is going to yield 15 % more meat when you DIY. So here's what the restaurants are doing. They're packaging this fish carving event as a ticketed live event and charging$200 to$400 per ticket.
8:40Or they're doing private events for companies like a pig roast, but a la tuna filet. Because you know there's a tech startup that'll pay$30 ,000 for the next company offsite. That venture capital money, it's going to some tuna bell. Now, interestingly, 50 % of the revenues generated from these ticket sales simply go to the cost of the tuna transport. By the way, that tuna, it flies first class to get to you overnight. But those three-hour tuna carving events, they sell out. They fill the restaurant every time. And it beats dinner and a movie. But warning, if you're sitting closest to the butcher, when he's filleting that fish, you're going to get some guts on you.
9:12We recommend some lab goggles and a Tide Stick pen. So Jack, what's the takeaway for our buddies over in the tuna carvings? Find your Tuna Tuesday. So the results of this grand food experiment? Well, sushi spots are making as much profit on tuna nights as they are on their best weekend nights. And that's what we find fascinating, when sushi spots are doing their public tuna carvings, because they're doing them between Monday and Thursday night. Exactly. Tuna carving events with tickets, that sounds like a Saturday date night idea, but that would actually be bad for business. The restaurant's going to sell out the tables on Saturday night no matter what.
9:46Why complicate things with all this fish logistics? Instead, tuna carving is used to attract you in the door on a night when you otherwise wouldn't go out. Call it Tuna Tuesday. The rare case of when charging more actually leads to increased number of diners. It's economics. It defies the laws of economics by capitalizing on good old-fashioned human behavior. Yetis, for restaurants to survive in this economy, they need good business seven nights a week, not just Friday and Saturday. You need seven days of revenue to cover the huge rise in the fixed costs of running the business. Tuna Tuesday uses novelty, entertainment, and surprisingly, higher prices to generate demand where there previously wasn't.
10:21So, Basties, if you've got a business with Slow Days, find your tuna Tuesday. For our second story, the president just legalized red dye diesel for all. That's a real thing. To try to lower prices. Here's why diesel is so much more expensive than gasoline and why tax relief will not help. Uh, diesel, we got a problem. The preferred fuel for truckers is$6.32 a gallon. Oh boy. Up 100 % from this time last year. Besties, the number one issue of the midterms is prices, and diesel drama is the number one driver of the inflation situation right now. So the Wall Street Journal just parked a reporter at a truck stop in Louisiana and started talking to the truck drivers.
11:03Because get this, filling up an 18-wheeler, it cost under$500 this time last year. What's it at today, Jack? Today, the reporter stood there as the price went up to$944 to fill up the tank. Oh, honey, cancel the chips. We can't add chips to the trip. Truckers are getting squeezed first, but they're passing on those higher costs of diesel to the warehouse that they're shipping products to. Which means us consumers are getting squeezed second. Higher fuel costs leads to higher trucking costs leads to higher prices on the shelves in the stores. So from avocados to Clorox and everything in aisle six in between, everything that uses diesel to get to you.
11:36It's now more expensive. Yeah, guac, now extra, extra. Diesel, it's kind of like sesame seeds on a bagel. It is, Jack. It ends up touching everything. You know what we're talking about, especially if you're eating one of these everything bagels right now. But Nick, I saw a headline that Middle East oil flows are back to pre-war levels. So why are diesel prices still close to all-time highs? Well, Jack, because oil is not exactly a commodity, is it, man? There's different types of oil. Like, there's different flavors of, well, bagels. And oil exports from the Middle East, yeah, those are back to pre-war levels, thanks to pipelines, according to Kipler, a trade intelligence firm.
12:08But it's costlier to get oil out of the Middle East through those alternatives. So crude oil is still up 50 % since before the war. But diesel, it remains up 100 % in its prices because of one thing and one thing in particular, refineries. Refineries have been damaged by Iranian attacks in the Middle East, and they haven't been repaired yet. It takes longer. So what we're saying, Besties, is that the United States, Saudi Arabia, Others, they can increase oil production quickly, but they can't build new refineries quickly. Yeah, the problem with diesel isn't not enough oil. It's not enough refineries.
12:39Which leads to Tuesday's big news. Red dye for all. And this headline has nothing to do with RFK Jr., by the way. No, and it's wild. I'd actually never heard of this, but diesel is taxed at 26 cents a gallon by the federal government to help pay for our highways. But farmers and construction vehicles, those don't use highways. so they don't have to pay that 26 cents per gallon tax on their diesel. So get this. Our government has companies add red dye to off-road diesel so that we know it's not subject to that 26 cent tax. And President Trump signed an executive order at a campaign rally this week to let anybody buy that red dye diesel through the end of the year.
13:17I just want to double emphasize this and pause the project. We literally put red dye in the diesel. Like it's like Doritos diesel. It's red dye diesel. It looks red. Now,$0.26 off per gallon, that sounds like a 4 % discount on the diesel for truck drivers. But it's actually not. No, it's not. Because there are actually less than 10 % as many diesel pumps that sell red dye diesel compared to normal diesel. And truck drivers aren't going to take a detour off the highway to find one of those pumps that they're not familiar with. They're not. And there simply aren't enough of those pumps. That's why this is going to have a minimal effect on truck drivers.
13:49But pasties, don't take our word for it. Take the market's word for it. So Jack, what's the Doritos flavor takeaway for our buddies looking at red dye diesel? The oil crunch will last through 2028, and futures markets prove it. Yetis, there is a futures market for diesel, and it's traded on the New York Mercantile Exchange. You can lock in prices today to get diesel delivered any month between now and January of 2030. We're talking cruises, airlines, construction. They all do this to manage risk, to get a clearer picture of their future costs. And guess what month this market expects that diesel will return to pre-war prices?
14:28That is wild. We're not talking Christmas, and we're actually not talking next Christmas either. Diesel won't return to pre-war prices until August 2028, according to the futures market. August 2028. Oh, and it actually gets worse for crude, the oil we use for gasoline. That's not going to go down in price till November 2028. Because the war in Iran, its active fighting has expanded to Yemen and Saudi Arabia. And Ukrainians are defending themselves by attacking Russian oil refineries. And the U.S. artificial intelligence build-out is surging demand for natural gas, crude's fossil fuel cousin. Besties added all up, and 2024 was the grocery election.
15:002026 could be, too, with diesel being in charge of the price tags. But 2028 could be the grocery election, too. Just look at the futures market for diesel. Now, a quick word from our sponsor. You know what's a fun habit? Getting to hang with you guys every day on this show. It's what we do. Another fun habit? Listening to audiobooks about habits. Like Atomic Habits, the legendary piece about building habits that better your life, right? And the Atomic Habits audiobook is on Audible. We're excited to collab with Audible because it's how we find our road trip companion. The written word, spoken.
15:33So besties, you can create a habit of enjoying audiobooks while you multitask. Which I believe is chapter three of Atomic Habits. That's right, Jack. Wash pots and pans, awkwardly fold those fitted bedsheets, floss your teeth while you're winding down listening on Audible. If your hands are full while listening to Audible, then you're doing it right. So summer's not over. Place doom scrolling by listening to an audio book that a human put all their thought and effort into. Audible. It's stories that speak to you.

For our third and final story, it's artificial. The new movie about Sam Altman premiered on Monday at the New York Film Fest. Now we know why Amazon dropped it. Yeah, we do. But Sam Altman is not even the main character. But besties, happy New York Film Week to all of your artsy friends on the Upper West Side who celebrate. We tried to interview Andrew Garfield because he is the big man on the Upper West Side right now. Yes, he is because Andrew Garfield starred in The Social Network years ago.
17:38So he's got a lot of things to say about the new Facebook sequel. And he's also starring as Sam Altman in Artificial, which premiered on Monday, although it doesn't hit theaters widely until Christmas Day. We should point out the name, Ida, we should point out the title Artificial. Actually a double entendre in this situation, right Jack? Artificial intelligence and artificial. The guy running the artificial intelligence. But the reviews have been anything but artificial. Critics call this movie both savage and terrifying. Interesting. Both provocative and downright horrifying. They also called it a visceral corporate drama, as entertaining as it is terrifying.
18:13Do we mention terrifying? How about this one? It's the movie of the moment that we may not even be able to look back on if the vision of the future it presents comes true. And Bessie's the great thing about Hollywood. All of these apocalyptic reviews have earned it instant Oscar predictions. But Andrew Garfield is being nominated as Best Supporting Actor, not Best Lead Actor, because this movie is not actually about Sam Altman like the trailer portrays it. Plot twist, the main character of this movie, who's getting the best actor nom, it's actually Ilya Sutskiver. But guess who else is portrayed in this movie?
18:45Mojack. Elon Musk, Mira Morati, and Greg Brockman. It's like an extremely nerdy ensemble cast. And the Oscar winner Mark Rylance is playing Jeffrey Hinton, who is known as the godfather of AI. There will be action figures. Oh, there will be action figures. So, Yetis, here's a who's who primer to prepare you for this movie, because it's like a whole look at the start of the artificial intelligence industry. Understanding this movie actually helps you understand real life right now, because Sam Altman and Elon Musk, yeah, they're already the most famous characters. And we know from the blockbuster lawsuit from earlier this year that both Sam Altman and Elon Musk knew that Google was leading in the race to artificial intelligence, and both worried that the for-profit Google would use AI recklessly.
19:29So Sam and Elon decided to co-found a non-profit, and what did they call it, Jack? Open AI. But you gotta know about the other co-founders, because they're pivotal to the plot of this movie. Yeah, like you've gotta know about Ilya, the main character of this Open AI movie. Born in the Soviet Union, 39-year-old Ilya Sutskever was the main board member who helped oust Sam Altman as CEO of Open AI back during that 2023 drama. And Jack, who was the CEO of Open AI for those three days three years ago? Mira Morati, the Colby College grad and early Tesla employee. She's also in this movie. But besties, both Ilya and Mira left OpenAI in the wake of Sam's reappointment when he became CEO again.
20:07And both Ilya and Mira now lead AI labs of their own, Safe Superintelligence and Thinking Machines Lab. But the one guy who arguably knows more about AI than the rest of all of those individuals combined? It's the one guy who didn't want to be CEO of anything. That's right. It's 78-year-old Jeffrey Hinton, decades older than the rest of the players in the whole AI race. While professor at University of Toronto, Jeffrey Hinton taught the PhD candidate Ilya Sutskever in 2013. Which is two years before Ilya, Elon, and Sam ended up co-founding OpenAI. And the same year Ilya graduated with that PhD, Jeffrey Hinton started working at Google, building the AI that provoked the formation of OpenAI from those other three people.
20:50It all comes full circle, but besties, the godfather of AI, this Jeffrey Hinton, he left Google in 2023 expressing existential regret. Existential regret for helping create a thing that he believed humans would one day lose control of. Even though the following year, he got a Nobel Prize for creating it. This movie sounds awesome. It sounds like it could have been a six season, 12 part rom-com spinoff of Friends Jack involving all the personalities of AI. I am wondering who's Chandler in this analogy. Well, he's definitely not a Ross. So Jack, what's the takeaway for all our buddies over in the new OpenAI movie?
21:24You can't invest in Sam Altman and make this movie. You can only pick one. Totally. You see, Yeti's Amazon, they were the original funder of this movie. But then suddenly, they sold off the movie rights. And now it's crystal clear why. This movie makes Sam Altman look so bad. Yeah, Artificial portrays Ilya as the creator of OpenAI. And it portrays Sam Altman as walking a fine line between, as the critics put it, Movie monster, buffoonish mogul, and evil genius who takes control of it. Just like Mark Zuckerberg didn't invent Facebook, according to the social network, Sam Altman didn't invent the AI of OpenAI.
21:58And when you're writing Sam Altman a$50 billion fundraising check, as Amazon did when they invested in OpenAI, you don't want to be associated with this film. Yetis, that's our review of Artificial, even though we haven't even seen it yet. Tomorrow, we're going to give you our review slash preview of The Social Reckoning. And with four movies coming out this year that turn tech bros into today's villains, you sell the rights to this movie. Jack, could you whip up the takeaways for us for the new Friday? Sushi restaurants are charging$200 to$400 tickets per seat to witness and eat one single tuna get carved.
22:33It's Tuna Tuesday, a creative experience to fill the business on the slow nights. For our second story, red-dyed diesel will take 26 cents off per gallon, which is about 4%, but the tax relief won't move the market. The futures market predicts diesel won't return to pre-war levels until August 2028. And our third and final story was artificial. It isn't actually about Sam Altman. No, it's not. It's a who's who of the six people you gotta know in AI. Amazon, they sold the rights to artificial because they invested in Sam Altman. And you just can't do both. But besties, this pod's not over yet. Here's what else you need to know today.
23:06First, the most popular website right now, um, it's any website in the small country of Slovenia. Because ever since President Trump did an executive order rebranding artificial intelligence to superintelligence, startups want the website domain that ends in.si. Bring on some context. The small island of Anguilla has made millions over the years by selling website domains that end in AI. Nick, I actually heard that Aruba is trying to rebrand themselves to Aruba Island so they can snag the.ai domain. And second, want to buy a Super Bowl commercial? Well, sorry, they're actually already sold out.
23:37Disney, which owns ABC and ESPN and is hosting this year's Super Bowl, sold out Super Bowl spots back in July. But update, Disney is accepting bids to be a backup advertiser in case one of the advertisers falls out. As a backup quarterback, I get this. You always need a backup. Yes, you do. They're oftentimes more valuable, Jack, I would say, because the new all-time price for a backup commercial at the Super Bowl is$12 million for 30 seconds, 20 % higher than last year. And a reminder, this year's Super Bowl is on Valentine's Day, which is also a three-day President's Day weekend. First time that's ever happened, so you don't have to go to work the next day.
24:12Four backup quarterbacks. And finally, LeBron James has been commuting from New York City to Philadelphia for basketball practice in a helicopter. And the commute is 42 minutes from the Hudson River heliport to the stadium in Philadelphia. Oh, and that helicopter, it's actually paid for by Fanatics with branding and logos all over it. And get this, LeBron's new deal with Polymarket, the predictions app, pays him more than his NBA salary. Oh, and don't forget, LeBron also sold his future earnings to an insurance company. Big year for LeBron. Now time for the best fact yet. This one's sent in by Tony in Brooklyn, who goes by Mr.
24:47Tony, and he actually has tickets available if you want to, like, DM him about this right now. New York City's Comic Con kicks off its four-day run tomorrow, and it's the 20th anniversary of this convention. But get this, at the very first New York Comic Con in 2006, attendance was so high, so much higher than expected, the fire marshals temporarily locked the doors after the venue reached capacity. The crowds were so overwhelming that the scheduled speaking guests, Kevin Smith, Silent Bob, and Frank Miller, the comic movie director, couldn't even get into the convention center and they had to cancel their talks.
25:20So if you want tickets, DM at Mr. Tony and he can hook you up. Yetis, you look fantastic for the new Friday. All right, Jack, fun to see you in New York. And like, what do you say, a few hours? How does that work for you? Yeah, a few hours. Big announcement. Big tuna, potentially. Wait, are we really doing this tuna thing? Jack, I got you covered on the sword and the goggles. Let's do this.
25:45And before we go, a happy birthday to legendary Eddie Amir Moradian, the best dentist down in Tampa. And happy birthday to Jamie Hurley Sanchez, turning 29 in Seaside, California. And Samuel Buchanan, happy 32nd birthday in Ohio. And happy birthday to Fred Hussein, turning 46 in Humphreys, Virginia. And Josiah Baker down in Texas, happy birthday, buddy. And happy birthday to Jack Crary in Pewaukee, Wisconsin. And Ellie and Joe Pfeiffer are doing logistics for their third wedding anniversary down in Chicago. Congratulations to the Fry Crew at Commonwealth Financial in Boston, frying everything from bacon to Oreos.
26:16And Ernest, the Yeti I ran into at As Quoted's Coffee Shop in San Francisco, thanks for listening since COVID. And to anyone else celebrating something today, make it a T-boy. celebrate the wins.
26:28This is Jack. I own stock in Berkshire Hathaway, Disney, and Amazon. Nick and I both own stock of Peloton and we both own ETFs of the S &P 500.
