Every time Aswath Damodaran comes in he crushes! You should make a weekly spinoff show with him!

[@tonyoramos1]

Second this

[@MiroslavNovosad]

I think it would not be a good idea, as with quantity the quality starts to go down..

[@lakshmanwinn1130]

@@MiroslavNovosad should they make this show monthly instead of weekly then?

[@MiroslavNovosad]

@@lakshmanwinn1130 you've got a point (and I enjoy each episode as I watch them as soon as they get out), but I still think having a weekly spinoff w Aswath would cost quality. Actually, Aswath has his own channel, than maybe watching directly his one would be a shorter way to access his takes?

[@mfblosangeles]

Agreed. He's a f n Rockstar. Full stop!

[@vladdiaconu6598]

I had a very traumatic experience seeing The Exorcist when I was young. It was so scary that it gave me nightmares for weeks and I was afraid to be alone in the dark. Cheers Prof G!

[@GregCurtin45]

Thank you swath Damodaran for your contribution. Every time you appear on the #ProfG podcast I am more than a bit wiser. There are not many people like Scott and Ed who make the world a better place but I count you in that group and hold you in high esteem.

[@dougw7804]

Ed must see "The Exorcist". It is to this day THE greatest horror movie ever made. And Happy Birthday Prof G!

[@tunde-tv]

Prof G X Aswath would be a great All-In podcast competitor. “The 2 greatest economic minds of our time”. TEAM UP!

[@txsphere]

Glad to hear Ashwath acknowledging the impact on workers from automation.

[@thomas6502]

Thank you. Really enjoyed this discussion!

[@catherinesalacuse3284]

Not all my fields of interests…but what a smart analyst. He gets you hooked & interested even if you are not, to the end. Thank you. 🇫🇷🇺🇸

[@flochfitness]

The valuation king has returned!!!!

[@jdz101]

Disney's worst problem is the disastrous Fox acquisition. Bob Iger was behind that. He seems to get all the credit for a few relatively smaller acquisitions and all the good things that happen, and none of criticism for the worst decision in Disney's history.

[@ray-mc-l]

this guy is so insightful! love hearing his thoughts

[@kh-fk3ko]

iam a big fan of Aswath Damodaran, i wish you can have him on more often.

[@adhirajmukherjee8455]

Can we make him part of the podcast for almost all episodes? Who would not like Scott, Aswath and Ed on a podcast? I bet Scott can convince him!

[@aconsideredmoment]

That is a lot of knowledge in the room. Thanks. Prof. AD's perspective on monopolies and pricing suggests to me a real political risk that anti-wealth populist politics in the U.S. and Europe risks breaking up monopolies with the effects of destroying value, businesses, GDP, and creating higher prices. Dalio discusses this risk: when politicians fueled by the angry unproductive mob who do not understand value creation engage in value destruction, but I think he understates how this is to the detriment of all.

[@Sumonebody]

That was the article which got Prof G played on the Apple TV WeCrashed show - and that's how I got into this youtube channel.

[@NestingInNashville]

Great advice. Cool kitchen too.

[@avisrivastava4140]

the GOAT returns

[@tomlebree]

I actually still re-visit that WeWork blog post by Prof G wrote regularly. And I still laugh my ass off when I read the Good Prof talking about Adam Neuman's locks. No one except Pedigree Chum has described hair so eloquently.

[@Marsubleu]

The level of IQ combined in this show is astounding. But I still get a strange impression that these gentlemen completely ignore the struggle ahead for resources. Energy, metals and probably water and food are going to be a big issue in the near future. Maybe not this decade, especially in the US, but this next decade? Or is it just built into this inflation assumption?

[@adielstephenson2929]

I wish people droning on about the Exorcist, as if it's a film made for adults or even in the slightest bit scary.

[@TUBEDOUT07]

Ed was hired by Scott to satsify Scott's inherent need for affirmation! LOL

[@etsubraya6769]

And he looks exactly like him lol

[@gwills24]

Airbnb has massive free cash flow so even if revenue growth levels out to mid single digits, they can buy back a ton of shares as the growth valuation they have been given (7-8x revs) comes down. No matter what, their FCF per share is going to rise and eventually the share price will catch up.

[@LambertxMc]

The Robotaxis thing is pure bs. People will try it out and stop using that service immediately because of how dirty their cars are going to come back. Ask Uber drivers and people who rent on Turo. Get off work and have to clean your clean before you go home? Stop dreaming.

[@FloridaSkunkApe]

The preview for the new exorcist gave me nightmares. Delete delete delete.

[@SilentFoster]

It's al good but there is a thing. Tesla insurance probably is a good business if they insure their cars for less and they have less accidents. Less payments in claims, more profit margin...

[@DingoAteMeBaby]

I think the issue with Google is pedigree. Why would you finish working on a product to completion when you can say you are "ex-Google" and found a startup?

[@vijjreddy]

Tesla is going through the same problems as the legacy ones, high interest rates made all the cars unafforable.. once the interest rates start coming down, Tesla would be off to races once again... But if we must value Tesla at today's market conditions, even 85-90 would be slightly above normal valuation... even halving interest rates (present rates for cars to get halved) won't push the value to what is now ... and won't start going up until model offering triples, insurance rates come down to be similar to legacy cars, and servicing becomes more efficient and also comparable in costs... then only Trillion dollar plus valuation would be right

[@donpatisson]

49 or 59?

[@ezyryder11]

When tech companies give you something for free, you’re paying with your attention, not money. Our antitrust law has to include this non-monetary form of payment.

[@platoscavealum902]

👍

[@tyc00n]

Aswath needs to learn NASA's tech readiness levels

[@algirdasknieza8352]

Robotaxi in 2027 really?

[@sherribarman915]

Ran into 2 ladies who had serious medical issues once they went off the anti-craving drugs. Scary reports.

[@LumenMichaelOne]

How ... DO YOU NOT. KNOW Ming The Merciless???!!! The True Scourge of The 🌌? ... 🙀

[@indianajones3315]

Flash Gordon. Used to watch it every Sunday.

[@Qwairy]

Good thing to hear for Palantir...

[@Roan-xj1mg]

Love Aswath As a bonus: Ed so desperetly wants Damodaran to sh#t on Musk, but he doesn't do it

[@VikramSingh-fw8hb]

Prof always looks pissed after talking to Prof Damodaran

[@manubhatt3]

I mean the face expressions, body language, the indifference and tone of these people is like FBI or CIA interrogating someone - lol! I mean who is Prof G fooling? He doesn't even want to take interview of this guy. Spare yourself the pain man.

[@SPLUGA]

Is Ed the son (legitimate or ilegitimate, who cares?) of ScottGalloway ?
