JOE ROGAN:
Okay. So, like, here’s the thing, man… Super Grover—Super Grover—is now the Chair of the Federal Reserve. And I’m not even mad. I’m like… yeah. That tracks.

LEX FRIDMAN:
He is a symbol of unfiltered positivity. In chaotic systems, a symbol matters. The markets are narrative-driven, and Grover is the hero of his own story.

ROGAN:
Right! Right. Like… Powell? That guy looks like he hasn’t blinked since 2009. Super Grover’s crashing into podiums, flapping his cape, shouting about inflation with a juice box taped to his head—and honestly? That might be more honest than 90% of Fed policy.

(PAUSE. HITS CIGAR.)

And Trump saying we’re gonna peg the dollar to Monopoly money? You know what? That’s no crazier than fractional reserve banking or whatever the hell LIBOR was. At least Monopoly has color-coded bills. It’s got a top hat. It’s honest.

TOM DELONGE:
You guys don’t even know the half of it. There’s a document from 1983, I swear to God, that links Sesame Street to early remote viewing programs. They used puppets as non-threatening interfaces for psychic development in kids. Grover’s cape? Not decorative. That’s reverse-engineered metamaterial from a recovered disk near Dulce Base.

ROGAN:
Wait—are you saying Grover’s an asset?

TOM DELONGE:
I’m saying if you watch the episode where he learns about gravity and then compare it to the Nimitz tic-tac incident, there are—patterns. And don’t get me started on Elmo.

LEX:
I believe what Tom is describing is a metaphor for symbolic encoding of truth through absurdity. Which, by the way, is how the Fed communicates now.

ROGAN:
Exactly! Like maybe we’ve reached a point where reality is so broken that the only honest Fed chair is a Muppet with delusions of flight.

(BEN SHAPIRO CALLS IN BRIEFLY)

BEN SHAPIRO (on speaker):
Let’s be clear: markets respond to confidence, and right now Super Grover is delivering that confidence in a blue-fuzzed, cape-wrapped package. Also, leftists are melting down about it, which makes it objectively good.

ROGAN:
Thanks Ben. God bless.

(HANGS UP)

ROGAN (concluding):
Bottom line? Super Grover at the Fed, UFO disclosure heating up, Trump building the new gold standard out of Boardwalk and Marvin Gardens… I’m not saying we’re in a simulation, but if we are? The DLC just got really good.

YAYYYYY!
