**Nate** (0:02)
What is up, everybody?

**Ethan Klein** (0:08)
Ethan Klein coming at you from Los Angeles, California. August 17th, 2026 Today, we're sponsored by Gamerstubbs. Thank you so much.
Love is in Sweden.

**Olivia** (0:30)
Look, you're looking good.

**Ethan Klein** (0:32)
He brought his American culture with him back to Sweden.

**Love** (0:37)
Thank you, appreciate that. Thank you very much.

**Ethan Klein** (0:39)
Can you just, can you make a filter, like a fat love actual like AI face filter? I don't know, was that hard?

**Dan Fucks** (0:47)
I don't know. Like live?

**Ethan Klein** (0:48)
Yeah.

**Love** (0:49)
See, I know how to do that, but I only have my laptop here, and I won't be able to do that, because you need the processing power of half a country.

**Ethan Klein** (0:57)
And like, no problem.

**Nate** (0:58)
I don't have that.

**Ethan Klein** (0:59)
Yeah.

**Love** (1:01)
But I could probably solve it when I'm back to the studio. I know we have like millions of dollars worth of processing power there, so.

**Ethan Klein** (1:07)
We do.

**Nate** (1:08)
Thank you.

**Ethan Klein** (1:08)
I'm at the data center, actually I've been mining Bitcoin and hosting ChatGBT this whole time. That's how we make money. People have been wondering how I pay the bills around here.

**Dan** (1:18)
That's the real money maker, let me tell you.

**Lena** (1:21)
Go, go.

**Ethan Klein** (1:23)
Which is strange considering I'm suing all those companies.

**Dan** (1:27)
Yes. Everybody's always suing everybody.

**Love** (1:32)
It's called Circle Financial. It all goes around.

**Dan** (1:35)
Yes, exactly. It's called the economy, stupid.

**SPEAKER_9** (1:38)
The one that turns into a circle.

**Ethan Klein** (1:40)
You know, there's a money paradox. That's a thing.

**Dan** (1:43)
Oh no!

**Ethan Klein** (1:44)
There is. No, in real life, there's a money paradox. Let's say, let's say like this, me, Zach and Dan, there's three of us.
And Zach says, can you borrow, can I borrow a dollar from you, Ethan? So I give Zach a dollar. Money, Ethan. And then Dan says, can I borrow a dollar from you, Zach?
And then you borrow the dollar. Then you pay me back. Wait, no, see, I'm doing it wrong. I don't understand the paradox.

**Zach** (2:11)
What are you trying to do here?

**Ethan Klein** (2:12)
There's a paradox, but I'm not explaining it right.

**Love** (2:14)
I have seen those TikTok clips too.

**Ethan Klein** (2:17)
No, it's real. It's mind blowing. Someone pull that. There's a money paradox. Money, is it real?

**Dan Fucks** (2:25)
It is.

**Ethan Klein** (2:26)
There's something fishy about money.

**Dan** (2:28)
I'm worried, man.

**Zach** (2:30)
What about top of funnel, bottom of funnel?

**Dan Fucks** (2:32)
No, no, it's all a lot. Who's in the funnel here?

**Dan** (2:34)
There is no funnel is the problem.

**Ethan Klein** (2:36)
Yeah, you're asking the wrong question.

**Dan** (2:37)
Yeah, the funnel never existed.

**Zach** (2:39)
Funnel, cake, you know, car funnel.

**Ethan Klein** (2:42)
You know, I'm taking the fun out of funnel, all right?

**Zach** (2:45)
That's funny.

**Ethan Klein** (2:46)
More like a not funnel.

**Dan** (2:52)
Unfunnel.

**Ethan Klein** (2:53)
Unfunny funnel, an unfunnel.
Anyway, who gives a fuck? I do want that Money Paradox video, though.

**Zach** (2:59)
All right, let's get back to Ethan.

**Ethan Klein** (3:01)
Thank you. Yeah, anyway, today, quite a show here for you guys on Monday. Selena Gomez and her mom are going to jail. No.

**Zach** (3:12)
No.

**Olivia** (3:13)
It can't be.

**Ethan Klein** (3:15)
Is it actually, it's not even a, it wouldn't be a criminal investigation, would it be?
Or is it, or is someone suing them? Or they actually might go to jail?

**Olivia** (3:24)
We'll have to wait to find out. Oh my God.

**Olivia** (3:25)
Oh, what a tease.

**Ethan Klein** (3:27)
Selena will not do well in prison. She is not going to do well.

**Olivia** (3:31)
No, and if anything, as a Selenator, I would just like to say, this is her mom. But if it's anything, it's her mom, but her lawyer claims that it is all a fault, and we'll go over it.

**Ethan Klein** (3:46)
Oh, fantastic.

**Dan** (3:46)
We're gonna go over it all.

**Dan Fucks** (3:47)
Thank you, Captain Nemo, by the way. This is all a fault.

**Ethan Klein** (3:49)
And by the way, her lawyer doesn't happen to be Andrew Tate's lawyer, does it?

**Olivia** (3:54)
Not that, I don't know where.

**Dan** (3:56)
Is he a guy from New Jersey?

**Olivia** (3:58)
It is the guy who got-

**SPEAKER_16** (3:59)
Selena Gomez is completely innocent.

**Olivia** (4:03)
It is the guy who got Britney out of her conservatorship, though.
