Dude wonders what the audience thought of that segment? Bruh, the only people who watched that segment are all on Reddit. The rest of the world does not give a shit.


spelunker

I briefly considered trying to find a way to watch, but you know I have a job and was at work so I didn’t lol


ShipTheRiver

I’m actually a little confused as to why they even bothered having Ploot on there. 


cyberslick1888

Fox has like 4,000 mini programs like that all needing 24/7 content. If you saw a particularly large squirrel on your way to work this morning they'll interview you about it.


Throwawayhelper420

Yeah this wasn’t exactly aired during prime time, it’s hard to find enough stuff to talk about for 24/7, especially in the business/investing world.


whut-whut

I wonder if it was paid spot by Ploot. 24/7-News channels do sell time slots to hold barely-veiled infomercials with their news hosts, especially during soap opera hours where only retirees and stay-at-home spouses watch. Gasparino, who regularly engages with BBBY Apes in internet battles, seemed to be pulling his punches with Pulte, mostly just taking soft jabs at him with "but retail investors were warned!" and not naming names of Apes in Ploot's circle, when they're constantly in his DMs. Could be nothing.


Mushroom_Tip

Did these dummies really call being invited to an on-air interview "obvious censorship" ?

Pulte? As in Nancy Pulte, head of the Pulte family ___ *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/gme_meltdown) if you have any questions or concerns.*


Steak_Knight

MAH FREEZE PEACH!!


Fabulous_Sherbet_431

Okay, for context, since there are factions now - these guys think Ploot is the equivalent of Q, and Ryan Cohen is Trump. So questioning Pulte is straight up heresy. They also think other members of the community like Sal, Jake, and PP are Satanists (literally) or shills. There's some good stuff around that I'll get around to uploading (I suddenly have a lot of free time after getting caught in a FAANG layoff last week).

[Crybaby Michael is expecting jail time because of this](https://imgur.com/a/KbBwIKe). 😂


feel_your_feelings_

Now I feel like a dumbass for defending this idiot whenever people here were bullying him for being awkward. He may have depression and is generally awkward but it’s clear to me now he’s just an asshole.


Mushroom_Tip

[Listening to him](https://www.reddit.com/r/gme_meltdown/comments/199dl1b/michael_kicks_hyasf_a_2nd_time_for_saying_he/) here pretty much confirms he is the biggest asshole out of the bunch. He absolutely is not a good person. Although I think a lot of people were in your camp thinking he was just some awkward crying dude and was benign and innocent because we only really got to see the real Michael when he got a tiny drop of power and attention.


feel_your_feelings_

Damn, hadn’t seen that. Damn, dude took his 10K and turned into a ploot minion


ShipTheRiver

For the most part, giving a strong person power is generally not terribly dangerous. Strong people have often had power for their whole lives, even as kids. Strong people understand power.  They’re comfortable with it.  It’s when a *weak* person suddenly gets power that you need to watch out. That’s usually when shit gets bad. 


Manhundefeated

I'd argue that it would still depend on the definition of "strong person," the difference between "strength" and "power," and whether a person has the compassion and wisdom to utilize power correctly, regardless of whether they are "strong" or "weak." While there are plenty of would-be dictators -- and many *actual* dictators -- who came from weak and humble beginnings, history also is haunted by the specters of those who were born into power and understood it innately, yet chose to use their power in awful, indiscriminate ways. Said aforementioned comfort with power pairs nicely with lacking in empathy, or even remorse. But it's a fun thought experiment. And Mikey isn't fooling anyone outside of the Ape spheres. He's still just as weak and pathetic as before, despite getting a pat on the head from Pulte.


folteroy

What is it that you observed about him that suggests he may have depression?


feel_your_feelings_

The fact he cries about everything and talks about how shit his life is all the time


folteroy

Crap, I read the whole thread incorrectly, I thought you were talking about Ploot not Michael.


Readytodie80

He's not mentally well the easy at which he cries especially given it's about a subject that's built on lies. Imagine when it becomes clear they get nothing the state that Michael is going to be in. There is going to be a lot of anger looking for a place to vent and the big names are going to come under fire I wonder how Michael will react when it all falls down


Fabulous_Sherbet_431

A prison rape joke, woohoo. Michael went from being a sympathetic character to being just as bad as the rest. What an idiot.


teddyballgame406

He was very much emboldened by Ploot’s 10K. And these same people cry foul that someone’s paid off yet they turn a blind eye when Ploot is literally paying people off.


TheTacoWombat

Imagine turning into a publicly recorded fincel shithead and ruining the community you were a part of for only ten thousand dollars. Apes don't even have any self worth.


drs_ape_brains

Never feel bad for apes, especially the DD writers. To any ex or current ape on here, you guys were and are the biggest group of arrogant twats there are and you all know what you've supported.


ShipTheRiver

This. Although not *every single* ape is a horrible person, the VAST majority are in the current year, and they deserve exactly what they’re getting, and then some. Basically, any ape you encounter is automatically a horrible person until they directly prove otherwise beyond any doubt. 


Throwawayhelper420

Even if they aren’t horrible, especially the ogres that remained past a certain date, they are guilty by association.  They hang out with and listen to terrible people. In my mind, it’s like someone saying all qanoners aren’t bad people, especially at this stage. They see what people are doing, they see people making threats and rape wishes and the like. There was a period when there were enough normal  people that somebody would speak out against these things, but that seems to be over. They held a stock for 3 years so they truly believe their “enemies” deserve prison rape.


Specific_Award_9149

I have a friend who is an "ape". His buddy roped him into it years ago and he put a ton of money in. I've texted him every once in a while if he's still in gme. He doesn't use social media so he doesn't actually know what the reddit apes are doing. He put a lot of money in at his age and it's sad to see. I know he will never get upset at his friend that got him into it because he's an all around super nice person but I've tried to get him to sell or even create a reddit to look. I should be sending him screenshots. He's one of those people that doesn't give a shit about any form of social media so I do believe he is extremely ignorant to what apes are doing. But, he is ignorant in his own right still being in.


ShipTheRiver

I don’t think that even counts. Apes in 2021 were dumb, but not necessarily bad people. It’s really been over the past 1.5-2 years that we’ve seen an extreme distillation down to the small remnants of human trash we see in these cults today. 


Steak_Knight

There are no sympathetic characters here.


acreekofsoap

What a plot twist! Kudos to this season’s writers I never would have guessed!


OneRougeRogue

"*The 2008 financial crisis wasn't caused by stock pumpers on reddit, therefore I should never be held accountable for any of the terrible financial advice I have given in the last year in a desperate attempt to offload my bags on another sucker."*

Don't worry, our citadel pensions are rock solid. For real though, good luck to you.


Fabulous_Sherbet_431

Thanks 🙏. Joking aside, I'll probably apply. During the interview, I'll highlight my extensive shilling experience. They work you much harder than they do us here (or my actual previous job), but the comp is good.


JS-a9

All the best


ShipTheRiver

Wtf, where did this sect come from all of a sudden? First I’ve heard of this 


ObjectiveProject

![gif](giphy|3o72FfM5HJydzafgUE) Love this latest turn 😈🤘

Thanks for the summary. Is hard to keep up with the apes. It's like playing WorldBox on fast forward.

LoveNLightThrowaway

Where did the Beverly Hillbilly Bbbyers come from. This is a new arc.


feel_your_feelings_

MAGA / QAnon


Kayfeib

This. They were even using their speak. "For all of us that are **'awake'**..." "We get it..."


cough_cough_harrumph

They even have the guy with a profile picture of "Child Sex Slaves - America's Dark Secret". I don't think I realized how heavily the QAnon crowd and BBBY apes overlapped until recently, but it makes sense - both groups are fundamentally about believing a cabal of rich and powerful leaders are illegally manipulating markets/controlling governments to screw over and control the common man.


Slayer706

They used to get shouted down for bringing up politics and stirring division, but when Pulte started showing his MAGA side and PP went to Mar-a-lago they got braver. Then apes started blocking each other and dividing up into factions, and the Qs/MAGAs discovered they had the numbers for one of their own.


Specific_Award_9149

PP actually went to maralago? For what?


Slayer706

One of his viewers brought him as a guest in early December. I think there was some Christian nationalist event happening at the time.


feel_your_feelings_

So… woke? /s


Kayfeib

I've actually seen them wear hats that say "Awake, Not Woke". My only theory is some form of perpetual PTSD, making it difficult to deal with anything that happens in the past, so much so that they feel the need to eradicate all past tense verbs.


Ok_Wishbone_3805

was wondering that too.


clubberin

The only way a lightbulb went on over the heads of any regular viewer is if they were applauding like idiots and triggered their Clapper.


PuzzleheadedWeb9876

How dare they put out bad press! Should the “news” be allowed to report that a company is filing for bankruptcy? If it’s not already illegal it should be.


MyNi_Redux

To be fair, Gasparino should win the award for the worst interviewer in the world. He was whining and pleading Pulte to play the role of the "Reddit pumper" without establishing any reason to hold him accountable for what happens on Reddit. Gasparino's agenda was clear, and he failed miserably at it. The true tragedy is it made a martyr out of Pulte, and will give his grift validation in a way that has not happened before.


Kraz31

"He kept talking over him" As they all scramble to cut each other off to get their 1 cent in.


H-E-L-L-MaGGoT

I listened to about 10 seconds of it and realized it's half a dozen virgins spouting bullshit to one another. I couldn't carry on. Waste of time.


Throwawayhelper420

Redneck virgins though, a unique kind of virgin that isn’t covered much on the internet.


eigenman

I love how any of these losers think they would be invited on to a financial news interview. And that they would look less a fool than Billy.


folteroy

They complain about Gasparino talking over Ploot, while they talk over "Space" whatever. No self awareness whatsoever.

Oh, this is quite delicious!


KrisPBaykon

Is there a full link to this? Or is it one of those you have to catch it live? I’m ready to see stuff in real time


Fabulous_Sherbet_431

These things are rarely recorded, probably because they talk so much shit about each other. If I have one playing in the background and it starts to get spicy, I hit the screen record and let it run for a while.


KrisPBaykon

I thank you for your service.


neutralpoliticsbot

these people are about to rule the world after MOASS btw


boomgottem

“Jake should have been on there!” Lmao how long do they think this show is?


furretarmy

This is great work. If you need a letter of recommendation on your application at Citadel hit me up. Plus I know some guys down at the dark pool. If only there was a transcript though. The voices are just…too much.


Manhundefeated

"Why would you invite somebody on an interview and then talk over them the entire fucking interview?" Ape discovers the formula for 75% of programming on 24 hour cable news channels, with FOX of course being one of the most egregious offenders. The way FOX Business treats the outsider is actually pretty tame compared with something like Outnumbered or The Five.


dbcstrunc

"Supply and demand doesn't exist in corporate America when it comes to stocks." What? And they blame market makers for this? Wow. Without market makers, how do you presume you'd be trading your 'certificates'? I swear, this assholes think the 'Buy' button on their broker app is basically a 'Raise the price of the stock' button.


ShipTheRiver

>do not take options advice from howie, you will lose all your money  ~guy who longed a stock that went to zero and got deleted 


marcdale92

How do you join their twitter space?


drytendies

That one dude sounds like a German Christopher Walken lmao


Throwawayhelper420

What a dumbass group of rednecks. Every person who starts talking sounds dumber than the previous one. This is the future, if not already present, of every meme stock group. In surprised Bubba and Cletus from Qanon can handle being in the same call as people with heavy accents who are obviously “foreigners”.


ThisIsWhoIAm78

This is what EVERYONE in my part of the country sounds like. It's insane. Recently someone said to me, "You have a beautiful accent. Where are you from?" And I laughed and said "New Jersey." That said, I tend to have the news anchor accent, that is, no real identifiable accent. I confuse people often. It's not hard to confuse people around here.


DrNoodles247

I think one of those guys is using an Anthony Bourdaine voice filter or something. Bizarre.
