00:12So it puts this piece on dating discourse, you know, like, body count, she's a four, but maybe six after
00:18five pints, age income bracket, all of it's numerical.
00:21That girl's been idling outside for two days.
00:24You know that girl who fucks a thousand guys in 24 hours for content?
00:29I mean, she wasn't fucking a person, she was fucking a number.
00:32I mean, her spirit was dominated, well, gang-raped almost, by market logic, essentially.
00:38Yeah, individuals reduce your abstraction, Kierkegaard.
00:41No, but why is it you have to take something modern and then you make it for cunts?
00:46Someone's fucking jimmied the window.
00:49Shit.
00:50Fuck.
00:51My fucking keys have gone.
00:53Why do you lease a Mercedes anywhere? Where's that money coming from? Do you owe again?
00:56Look, do me a favor. Could you just take money for the week, all right?
00:58Well, I sort this shit out.
01:00Oh, okay.
01:00We need to formulate some sort of custody agreement so you cannot keep doing this.
01:04Also, you look like shit.
01:05All right, it's the fucking rail and it's my skin.
01:07Well, what is it to you for the rest of it then?
01:08Because you keep saying, oh, I'm working flat out and then I hear stories of you out on benders and
01:11sharking random women.
01:12Well, hang on, you're in a fucking relationship.
01:15All right, you don't have jurisdiction over my sex life.
01:17We literally fucked once.
01:18Oh, you do realize that absolutely no one knows that you exist, right?
01:22Oh, fuck.
01:30Oh, fuck.
02:13Edward, hiya.
02:14Sorry, what time is it?
02:15Who cares?
02:16Good news.
02:17We've heard from Tender's counsel.
02:18I think they've come in way too hot.
02:20The response to Tender Investigative piece, it's as subtle as a Slade song of truth.
02:25Injunction, thread, defamation.
02:27I mean, it's a real dog's dinner.
02:29And I did a little digging and it seems upper management there are a proxy for the Norton Media Group,
02:33so I'm happy to send you to Acre.
02:38Look, thank you, Ed.
02:39You won't regret it.
02:40Listen, the main thrust of all their ire is collusion and market manipulation between you and these short sellers.
02:47I mean, that's a shot in the dark, right?
02:49Uh, tell me you aren't in vagal with these fucking short sellers.
02:53Huh?
02:54Yeah, I'm not.
02:55I've spoken to them, but, you know, tangentially.
02:57Oh, tangentially.
02:58Like, elliptically.
02:59Whatever the fuck.
03:00Just clean the slate with those contacts, okay?
03:02Yeah.
03:03Look, I'm working on a follow-up.
03:06Far more meat on the bone.
03:07Major discovery in Sunderland, right?
03:09Well, I don't like being woken by bullies.
03:11And it's in the public interest for us to respond aggressively, especially if tender of designs on the UK consumer
03:16of this new banking app.
03:18I'll get legal to word a stern and curved rebuke.
03:20If I know anything about people who go, this nuclear, this early, you can bet your loneliest penny the cunts
03:25of a glass fucking jaw.
03:27Yeah.
03:27Okay, bye.
03:34Oi!
03:37What?
03:37Why are you watching my house?
03:38What?
03:39Brother, I'm waiting for my girl.
03:42Get the fuck off my street, yeah?
03:44Brother came here all pulled up, looking like some hard wanker, yeah?
03:48Get the fuck away from my car, bro.
03:51Fuck you, pussy old faggot.
03:59All we've done is share non-private information.
04:02Your article was a non-event.
04:03It helped our short for all of 20 minutes.
04:05Well, proving a connection might be enough.
04:07Look, I've started working on an egg-up computer, so it can't be hacked.
04:10But you're calling me on my work phone?
04:13When are you publishing the follow-up?
04:14I can't say.
04:16You can't or won't?
04:17Bro, we gave you the Sunderland piece.
04:20You write it up and disseminate it.
04:21That was agreed.
04:22Uh, no, it was never agreed.
04:24Oh, fuck off.
04:24It was fucking implied.
04:26Come on, you're not being fair at all.
04:28Yeah, I think you fundamentally misunderstood my ethics here.
04:30It is important from here on how we deny any kind of communication.
04:33And that's ethical, is it?
04:35It's sensible.
04:36I appreciate your time.
04:41If he doesn't publish again soon, what's our next negative catalyst?
04:45Markets pricing this app launches a positive once.
04:47The stock climbs any higher will face a margin call.
04:50We feed this Sunderland piece to another reporter.
04:52How long a lag time to get it understood, past seniors, printed?
04:56Why don't we self-publish?
04:57We'll just get Sweet Pea to write it up, like Hindenburg Glass House, that sort of beat.
05:01It's too clear a conflict of interest.
05:03Hey, well, obviously, we would use the appropriate disclosures.
05:06One wrong word?
05:07We open ourselves up to a civil suit.
05:09Plus, our name has no cachet.
05:11It gives us a solitary fuck about Sterntow's view.
05:14It doesn't matter if Tender is a house of cards.
05:16We don't have any breath to blow.
05:17Don't you think I fucking grasp that?
05:20By now, fuck!
05:23I want to see the mortgage piece more prominent on the landing page and wipe the fucking crypto
05:28component off it.
05:29I've given that note three fucking times.
05:31And yes, Robin, that is a user over profit decision because the UI is part of the messaging
05:36and the messaging is everything.
05:38Yeah, the tone matters to our backers and government too.
05:41And why is the phrase peer point powered by Tender so prominent on the UI?
05:47Whitney cleared that.
05:48This is his brainchild.
05:49It has been for some time.
05:51Okay.
05:52I didn't stake myself on the build of this app to facilitate peer point giving the already
05:58upwardly mobile a fucking clickable option to passively compound their wealth.
06:02Okay?
06:04Bannerman, you want to give us a state of play, please?
06:07Yes, sir.
06:08250 million assets on the management.
06:10Eric's 5% of fund, 10 bucks.
06:13Pierre, the anchor, 100 bucks.
06:15Further 140 million when we combine all other invested parties.
06:18With Kenny as our primary broker, we borrowed a further 250 million via Deutsche.
06:24That's our margin.
06:25100% gross leverage.
06:26Yes.
06:26250 million equity.
06:28250 million margin.
06:31We remain excited by the potential synergies of the partnership showcasing Almaraj PeerPoint's
06:36wealth management offering within the Tender app.
06:39You know, I've long thought that the copy should be Tender powered by PeerPoint, not PeerPoint
06:43powered by Tender.
06:43Our lawyers went back and forth on it while redlining, arguing points of construction.
06:47We have the investment managers, we have the customer base.
06:50That's baked in for you in exchange for a platform and a route to more retail customers.
06:55By any metric, to any investor's eyes, Tender is the more valuable asset here.
07:00The market caps are moving in opposite directions, huh?
07:02We see this simply as offering a dinosaur a digital future.
07:05Why am I here negotiating something I assumed had already been negotiated?
07:09That isn't what this is.
07:12We wanted to illustrate how amenable we've been in the hope of asking you to, uh, solidify
07:17the partnership with a further billion dollar investment.
07:21I really think we're missing a trick by not featuring Henry more prominently.
07:25What does that mean?
07:26And what would it even look like?
07:28Leaning into the tech side of fintech, a buzzy launch named entertainment.
07:32Charlie XCX expending on the virtues of a digitized spending report to track her nocturnal
07:37trips to the ATM.
07:38Yeah, yeah, but a public launch with translation to socials, it's still achievable.
07:43It might be smart to de-risk a little ahead of Tender rolling out their app because streets
07:47expect it to land and rally.
07:49Guys, we can't just start throwing down longs, then we'd be like any other run-of-the-mill
07:52long short.
07:53What if Diker's next article lands as flat as his last one?
07:55No, it was for Sunderland Peace.
07:57Yeah, and when is that coming?
07:58Yeah, FYI, we are edging from grey to fucking black on market manipulation stuff.
08:02Oh, I've been speaking with the former CEO, Jonah Antebrief.
08:06I haven't spoken business with him yet.
08:07I'm just softening him up.
08:09Is he replying?
08:10Oh, yeah.
08:12He is replying.
08:13You know, it's an open secret that Al Maraj is divesting Pierpoint back to the market
08:17piecemeal.
08:19Pierpoint's a fucking legacy name.
08:20It's sun-bleached font on signage, gym bags on eBay, ironic fincore, tombstones for a
08:26once great thing, now dead.
08:27We are modernity, knocking at your door, offering a leg up.
08:30And for that, all we're asking for is, uh, is a pittance.
08:35When does the, uh, when does the press release go out and do?
08:38Tabled for 1 p.m. PST Thursday.
08:41Right, so there is time to go bigger if we want to.
08:43Usual channels, TechCrunch, Wired, Brick and Banks podcast.
08:46Yeah, I think that Henry should feature on more lifestyle podcasts.
08:49There should be a fucking tariff on podcast equipment.
08:53All right, well, I want to read you after the release and my notes enacted and we can
08:56go from there.
09:06Yo.
09:08What's up?
09:10Henry isn't happy about how the app launch is being positioned.
09:13Because your husband hasn't landed on something he likes.
09:15Robin says you want to eventize the launch?
09:18Yeah.
09:18There should have been a runway lay to eventize it from the start.
09:21Oh, yeah, stop using the word eventize like it's a serious word.
09:23I don't think this is funny.
09:25You know, if I had a proper job title, a role in the comms department, this would have been
09:31done properly.
09:32You want to work directly onto Robin?
09:33I want to give Henry a pulpit.
09:36If Henry wants to be prominent, if he wants to be responsible for this, I'm not going to
09:39get in his way, but I'm a little disappointed in him.
09:42Thought I was hiring a rock star.
09:44He was like a fucking ghost in our meeting with PRA.
09:46Yeah, his confidence is coming back.
09:48Slowly.
09:52Have you ever thought about laying a path in the company for Hayley?
09:58What do you see in her?
09:59I think she may have some information that could help us with Diker.
10:03But she might need some sweetening.
10:05Bright young things attract bright young things.
10:08Speaking of, when was the last time you spoke to your friend Harper, by the way?
10:11You guys still close?
10:13Why?
10:14I got to suspicion her ventures short.
10:21Yeah.
10:24Um, she's probably being spurred on by her former boss.
10:27They're sort of a poisonous double act.
10:30They like to enable each other's worst instincts just because, well, because they're fucking insecure.
10:36I can, um, I can think of a comms angle to deal with them.
10:42Great.
10:53What was it?
10:54Two black cross?
10:55Whatever's most premium.
10:57Red, 180.
10:59One, please.
11:00Do you only do cunk?
11:01You don't carry any liquid shrimps, do you?
11:04No, mate.
11:08Can't be front office with a pinstrap that chalky.
11:11Unless you're at a povo dive like Royal Bank of Scotland.
11:25No, don't fucking touch it yet.
11:26I told you.
11:27Please.
11:29Please, Daddy.
11:34If you want more treats, you'll say it.
11:37I'm looking very poor for Pappy.
11:47Go on, Father.
11:51Yeah, hi.
11:52Hello, Mary.
11:53Hello.
11:54Yeah, I, um, yeah, I wasn't expecting to hear from you.
11:56I hope you're well.
11:58Yeah, as well as, I guess, um,
12:01Yeah, and, and you?
12:02We thought we'd make arrangements for you to see Hugo.
12:05It was important that we got a few things in order before.
12:07Yeah, you, no, no, you, you, you don't owe me an apology.
12:09This isn't an apology.
12:11Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no, of course, of course.
12:13Let me send through the details.
12:14You know, whenever, whenever.
12:15I'll send those through.
12:16Yeah, thank you.
12:25They took my kid away from me.
12:30Maybe they've got their reasons.
12:33You ever tried shutting the fuck up?
12:39One more thing.
12:40Do you know the Web Horizon guys?
12:42They asked Joan and I to attend a bunch of times,
12:44but I always pass because I, uh,
12:46never thought the two of us were aligned enough
12:48about the future of the company to share a stage
12:50and have it not be a stock negative event.
12:53Well, it, it might be a bit late in the day
12:54for them to accommodate us,
12:56but if I say that Henry's presenting a government darling
12:59and then float the idea that the business secretary
13:02might attend, it may combat the negative press
13:04coming out of Fin Digest.
13:06You can make that happen?
13:07I mean, it would flatter the programmers for sure.
13:11I'll be proffered.
13:12See where I get.
13:13Great.
13:13And have Fin Digest responded to legal yet?
13:15That piece was so undercooked,
13:16it undermined whatever point they were trying to make,
13:18but, uh, Luisa says they're doubling down.
13:23Okay, I'm going to speak to Percy.
13:24He's the business editor at the Sunday paper.
13:28Robin's on board?
13:29He will be.
13:31Fuck yeah.
13:32I got a 3 p.m. to Accra,
13:33but I'll be back soon, 24 hours.
13:35God, that's a long way for such a short trip.
13:38Small management issue, which requires some hand-holding.
13:40Hayley, do me a favor.
13:42Assist Yaz or whatever she needs at the launch.
13:44You don't need her in Ghana?
13:45She's supposed to split the load of Henry,
13:47so let her take half of his load off you.
13:58Hey.
13:58Jonah Atterbury?
14:00Yeah, speaking.
14:01Did I get you at a bad time?
14:03Oh, just interrupting the prologue
14:05to a story that I won't be able to finish.
14:08You know, your voice sounds like I imagined.
14:11Normally, chicks want some kind of payment
14:12before getting personal so fast.
14:15Um, Jonah, I actually have a slightly ulterior motive
14:18for my call.
14:19I work as a research analyst.
14:21We believe your former employer
14:22is misrepresenting how they make their money.
14:24What the fuck?
14:25Please don't hang up.
14:25Sorry, but, uh...
14:26So much of this work
14:27is just finding nuggets of encouragement, okay?
14:30People only open up
14:31if the incentive outweighs their incentive
14:33to stay silent.
14:36Yeah, I'm a little loaded for riddles right now,
14:38and trust me,
14:39I don't need your money.
14:41I mean...
14:41I imagine that you have a bone...
14:42to pick with Whitney Halberstram.
14:44You know, since he fired you.
14:47Well, I'm in the middle of suing the prick for defamation.
14:49What the fuck is this?
14:51Well, he shit on you, right?
14:56That fey little shit?
14:58I loved him.
15:00In your legal complaint,
15:01is there anything that could help me on a private day?
15:04Well, my, uh...
15:06or our correspondence was subpoenaed.
15:09My team have access to gigs of emails.
15:11Would you share them with me?
15:13I can just ping you my email.
15:14So anything not pertaining to me is redacted.
15:17I don't see how that would be useful.
15:19The more I think about it,
15:20the more I see I was blinded by history with him.
15:23How do you mean?
15:24Um, small things.
15:25I noticed he'd check the stock price
15:27like in ECG last two years.
15:29Down days, he'd mope around, suicide watch.
15:32Up days, he was a prince.
15:34Me coming to him with a question,
15:36leaving with two more.
15:37Rapidly social.
15:39Never seemed to fuck.
15:40I also never saw him drunk.
15:42Clients, investors, auditors.
15:45He'd drown them in cristal,
15:47leave them buttfucked by a hangover lobotomy.
15:50Ooh, boy.
15:51That cat from Tender Party's like
15:53a pre-crisis Florida realtor.
15:55Ah, well, thank you, Jonah.
15:58I, um...
15:59I hope I brought you pleasure in unexpected ways.
16:03Listen, if you're gonna play me like this,
16:06do me the courtesy of burying him deep enough
16:09that his kind don't respawn.
16:13I will.
16:15Why the fuck is Whitney in Africa again?
16:18Guy sold me a fucking dummy.
16:20I don't want to be a host for another capital markets
16:23vulture-like Peer Point.
16:24The vision was meant to be utilitarian,
16:27not some defibrillator for a zombie back...
16:30You still control how it's perceived.
16:32Whitney's spoken to WebHorizon
16:33about allowing you to make more of a splash.
16:36You're gonna be on the main conference livestream.
16:38I'll make sure it's picked up by all the trains.
16:40Yeah.
16:43Why are the two of you colluding
16:45on what are clearly executive decisions?
16:48Colluding?
16:48Henry, we're strategising about how to maximise your potential.
16:52We both see it as integral to the success of the...
16:55Actually, you know what?
16:56Fuck that.
16:57I see it as integral to your success.
16:59Okay? To our families.
17:01A press release will allow us to frame the narrative
17:03and control the audience.
17:04Robin's words sound completely dead in your mouth.
17:09Look, I get it.
17:10You've stood on stages before
17:11and been embarrassed.
17:13But, look, just come here.
17:15Not in here. Not in here.
17:17Who are you afraid of?
17:19I don't have it in me to be torn apart again.
17:22Do you believe in this company?
17:26Do you have any idea
17:28how tiring it is
17:29to have people constantly question your integrity
17:32because you fucked up once?
17:34Once!
17:37Listeners, we'll lean in to the belief of the teller,
17:40so go and tell it.
17:47You always make me chase the most egoistic part of myself.
17:51Do you know that?
17:54Because without it, Henry,
17:55nothing would fucking happen.
18:00Thanks again for introducing us to Moritz.
18:02He's a real fire brat.
18:03His, in defense of your sanguinis piece
18:05was a bit of a poke in the eye,
18:06even for me.
18:07You think he actually believes in stuff?
18:08Oh, who cares,
18:09as long as people are clicking.
18:10Your husband said he was in a product meeting.
18:12Our tech editor said
18:13he now expected Henry at Web Horizon.
18:16It's all smooth sailing.
18:17Well, we're supposed to be waiting for Robin.
18:18He's our head of comms,
18:19but I think we should just crack on.
18:20So what are we thinking?
18:21Some kind of inside look at tender?
18:23Henry's second act?
18:24Robin Williamson, comms.
18:26We'll take any winning highlights
18:28you can offer,
18:30but there's a strategy around the rule line.
18:32I actually wasn't thinking about
18:33any kind of puff piece.
18:35It's more of a tip towards a scandal.
18:37We've been made aware
18:38of direct contact and conspiracy
18:40between the business press
18:41and predatory hedge fund activity.
18:43We shouldn't let this flare up
18:44any more than necessary.
18:46We're using legal.
18:46Legal tennis won't show any teeth
18:49and it won't stop another article.
18:51I don't think Whitney agrees
18:52with stalking this particular fire.
18:55Actually, I do.
18:56Hey, Robin, please don't speak for me.
18:59We should be proactive
19:00against anyone trafficking fake news.
19:03Fin Digest put a hit piece out on tender
19:05full of vague and unsubstantiated allegations
19:08and they're in league
19:09with people who stand to profit
19:11off of harming us.
19:12Fat cat fund managers,
19:13city lawlessness.
19:14When are we not telling this story?
19:15I think this is a unique set of circumstances.
19:18I mean, hamstringing
19:19a government-backed success
19:20before it starts to run,
19:22benefiting the UK consumer.
19:23I mean, there's a public interest angle.
19:26Burgess at Fin Digest
19:27is a bit of a twat,
19:28sort of virtue signaling
19:29man of the people, shyster.
19:30I think our readers will enjoy
19:32hating on the hypocrisy of it all.
19:34Public stoning of hypocrites
19:35is like bloodletting.
19:36Makes us feel better
19:37about our own hypocrisies.
19:38And we have proof of this.
19:43I do, yes.
19:45Can't coordinate.
19:47I'll send you the photos.
19:51Let us sidebar
19:52and decide on the shape
19:54and how alarmists to go
19:56with the presentation.
19:57Thank you, Yasmin.
20:00Good news.
20:02Thanks.
20:06Yasmin, stay on the line.
20:07Robin, you're not needed now.
20:09Thanks.
20:19Is he off?
20:21Yeah, he's gone.
20:22Yeah, Robin's not aggressive enough.
20:24He's a little bitch.
20:25Sorry.
20:27What proof do you have for Norton?
20:29I have photographic evidence.
20:31I'll send it to you.
20:32Harper Co.,
20:33whatever the fuck
20:34they're calling themselves,
20:35they don't have the capital
20:36to touch us.
20:38I'm going to invite her in.
20:39She needs to see the scale
20:40of the thing
20:41so she knows how much
20:42she's bound to lose
20:43if she plays in the dirt.
20:44You think she's short
20:45because of Diker?
20:47Morality might as well
20:48be fucking Latin to her.
20:59Does he, um...
21:01Does he know who I am?
21:04We've not been to our house
21:06in Birrit since, uh...
21:08Well, it's a hard place to be
21:10given how much time
21:11we used to spend there together.
21:13Practically, we're slightly worried
21:14about the disrepair.
21:15We need to visit soon.
21:19Yes.
21:23You go Smith?
21:25Yes.
21:26That will be the surname
21:27on his new passport
21:28so we can take him abroad.
21:30Not permanently, of course.
21:32It's on holiday.
21:34If you sign off on the name change,
21:36we can look at setting
21:37some further visitation.
21:39Will I ever get to be alone with him?
21:42Oh, I don't think
21:43that would be a good idea.
21:45You don't get to set any terms,
21:47I'm afraid.
21:52Yeah.
21:54Yeah.
21:59Uh...
22:07Hugo will grow up
22:08in a house of love.
22:09I promise you.
22:11I appreciate you.
22:14being civil with me.
22:15Rishi, any anger
22:16I feel towards you
22:17is dwarfed by the scale
22:19of my faith in God.
22:22Every choice you've made
22:23denies it, but...
22:27even a man like you
22:28doesn't stand outside his grace.
22:32Yeah.
22:36I'm going to have...
22:39I have to say...
22:41over here.
22:46Hey.
22:49Hi.
22:53The Fin Digest journalist
22:55is in the audience.
22:56Don't watch.
22:58Oh, unless...
22:59if he's making you uncomfortable
23:01I mean, we can tell him to leave.
23:02Like, no, no, it's not him.
23:05I just, I don't, I don't know.
23:08I don't know, I just don't really feel like I can ground myself.
23:12You know?
23:13Do you suffer from anxiety?
23:15I do sometimes.
23:17Try magnesium.
23:18Just after what happened between us.
23:23Uh, and, and your husband, and whether it was right, like, professionally, even personally.
23:33We're all consenting adults.
23:37Right?
23:38And, you enjoyed it.
23:43So it can't be that that's making you uneasy?
23:47Calabasas.
23:50You were the one that instigated it.
23:52Right?
23:53The way you've looked at me since we met.
23:55Maybe you're sublimating experiences.
23:58Making a good thing bad.
24:01That loser hack.
24:03He came into your house under false pretenses.
24:06You don't remember what happened.
24:09I mean, God knows what happened.
24:12The price of his action is your trauma.
24:15You can't let him take away your agency as well.
24:20Yeah.
24:22Yeah.
24:23You're probably right.
24:24I am.
24:25I am right.
24:26It was assault.
24:30I am.
24:38I am.
24:39I am.
24:39I am.
24:41I am.
24:43Here for a second.
24:44What is this fucking disappearing act you keep pulling in Africa?
24:47That was a smoothing the adoption of our app.
24:49Yeah, I'm not comfortable with the peer point relationship, okay?
24:52This app shouldn't be some Trojan horse for capital markets apparatus.
24:57We're not a fucking broker.
24:58Well, you couldn't be more wrong.
25:00Why should investment planning only be the purview of the elite?
25:03Give the man his broker.
25:04Yeah.
25:04My role here isn't going to be ambassadorial, okay?
25:09I want it to be financial and strategic.
25:13I don't have to keep checking my corners.
25:15I agree.
25:16Total transparency, which is also what the app is offering.
25:20Like we promised, ISAs, ETFs, you're giving people the dignity of being able to choose for themselves.
25:25Peer point totally fucked the valuation of Lumi.
25:28Come on, man.
25:30Is it even really peer point anymore?
25:32Hey.
25:35Go out there.
25:37Tell them about your conscience.
25:41It's just a speech.
25:46It's just today.
25:48It's just a speech.
25:50It's just deliverance.
25:57Don't bullshit me.
25:58Henry.
25:59I hired you.
26:02Because I look at people like you.
26:03And I needly believe in them more than I believe in myself.
26:07Fuck knows what this is about the fascism of our neurology.
26:10But everything in me screams,
26:12you are more, I am less,
26:14you're a man.
26:16I'm incapable of lying to.
26:27He'll be great.
26:29Okay?
26:32You got this.
26:47How you became the Labour Prime Minister's appointed pet, I will never understand.
26:53Pussycat with nine lives.
26:55Thank you for humility in introducing me.
27:00I really do appreciate your belief.
27:04You have your wife's frankly inappropriate relationship with a certain precocious junior minister in my department to thank for this.
27:10Do you know how ugly political sketch artists make me look?
27:14And they're right to mock my hypocrisy.
27:16Mister?
27:16To win the party line, that's it.
27:17Good luck.
27:30I really don't think I can do this.
27:32No.
27:34Do you think I could have a lorazopam or something?
27:36I don't know if that constitutes a relapse.
27:39Tender is at the vanguard of a sector we have championed since coming into government.
27:43Listen, if you need to, of course, of course you can.
27:46Why would you say that to me?
27:47You know that's not an option.
27:49You're meant to talk me down off the fucking cliff.
27:50Are you testing me?
27:51And what are you using again?
27:52It aims align with our core values.
27:56Equity and transparency for the British consumer.
28:00How dare you say that to me now?
28:02I don't...
28:03Why can't you accept that I want what's best for you?
28:06...of entrepreneurs.
28:07I'm pleased to introduce to you this afternoon, tender CEO, Henry Clark.
28:14You're going to be amazing.
28:37So much of money, its structures and trading are deliberately black-boxed.
28:48For every winner, there must be a loser.
28:54Fying for a market, not fying for a society.
29:04Let, uh, let tender 2.0 be the opening salvo against this hard reality.
29:15Now, uh, I'm not a neoliberal cultist.
29:20Hopped up on the lie that the market is the solution to everything.
29:24Interests can be co-opted, of course.
29:28We are, uh, we are not an NGO, we are looking for value for our shareholders, but, um...
29:36But I would like it known...
29:41...that we have put our, our conscience at the heart of all we do here at Tender.
29:56Allow me to be, um, to be sincere with you all for a moment.
30:03Um, and tell you about my conscience.
30:12I have failed, prodigiously.
30:17I have succeeded...
30:22...unfairly.
30:24It's a matter of public record.
30:28If you are sick of listening to me,
30:32I understand.
30:34Believe me.
30:37But this is...
30:39...how I see the world.
30:41Even with the, the blinkers of, of my privilege.
30:46And perhaps especially because of them.
30:49And if you think I am incapable of seeing the world that way,
30:54then you are saying I am...
30:57...inhuman.
30:59That I am incapable of empathy.
31:02No.
31:05I am only human.
31:09He's laying it on a bit thick.
31:11Will anyone buy this?
31:13If he buys it, then they will.
31:14We have to believe that we can change the intransigent structures and expectations of where we happen to be born
31:23and to whom.
31:25This is the bedrock of our app's philosophy.
31:31Frictionless.
31:33Transparent access to the full suite of banking and investment products.
31:38Demystifying the complex world of finance for all members of the great British public.
31:45Now observe the cumulative effect of what happens when you give people that power.
31:51And stop patronizing them with handouts.
31:56Admonishing their vices and sneering at their virtues.
32:04Today, I offer you my sincerity.
32:11And sincerity is now the world's rarest commodity.
32:19Not here.
32:21Not at tender.
32:23Not under my watch.
32:45Let me walk you through our first offering.
32:51My sincere thanks to all of you for coming today.
32:54If you have any further questions, we'll meet in the press room.
33:03See what happens when you listen to me?
33:16Good job.
33:22Does Tender have plans around AI integration?
33:24Yeah, we have hopes on a two-year roadmap.
33:27We'll see AI-powered financial advice,
33:30predictive analytics and spending controls.
33:33Can you tell me, rather than what Tender hopes to do,
33:36what Tender actually does?
33:39Hey, I'm sorry, can you repeat the question?
33:41Yeah.
33:42Tender.
33:44So, what does it do?
33:47What do you mean, what do we do?
33:49It's a pretty straightforward question.
33:51But, Mr. Harberstrom, given how quickly you severed all ties with me after I profiled you...
33:56The FinDigest writer, he's trying to fuck us.
33:58Well, I take it you loathe simple questions.
34:01You're our friend from FinDigest, right?
34:03It's a great piece, by the way. Really well-researched.
34:06What is it that we do?
34:07We are a successful payment processor,
34:10leveraging our existing user base to make targeted acquisitions
34:13and become a market leader in the UK fintech space.
34:15Right, it's just a growing number of people think your numbers don't stack up.
34:19Well, you're trying to prove a prejudice, so everything you look at is prejudicial.
34:24And these people you're speaking about, do they brief you or do you brief them,
34:27or does it matter so long as you're making money while you twist a knife?
34:30Right, you're not denying anything, though.
34:31We are regularly audited by Ellison Young.
34:34We have equity analysts pouring over our balance sheet.
34:37What is there to spotlight other than the brutal success of our story?
34:41And your processing facilities in Sunderland.
34:47We've got outposts that process payments all over Africa, Europe, Asia-Pac, and the UK,
34:53including, but not exclusive to, the Northeast.
34:57You see, I think your fixation on the future is, uh,
35:01it's a smokescreen for the lies of your past.
35:03Okay, well, we'll happily sidebar.
35:05We have investor days, we have earnings calls.
35:07We're wide fucking open.
35:09Next question.
35:10Yes.
35:10Hannah Murphy at the FT.
35:12How do you intend to cater to an older, potentially AI-naive demographic?
35:17Well, thank you, Hannah, for the, um, sensible question this time.
35:21Um, no, I think you're right.
35:22AI is the great unknown of our time.
35:25Blue.
35:26It was blue.
35:26Right, yeah.
35:27Really?
35:28James.
35:30Can we talk?
35:31Yeah, no, I'm just putting the final touches on the article.
35:34Now.
35:36Alright.
35:42My dad used to look at me like that.
35:46What is it?
35:48This may run tomorrow.
35:52My name, your name, short sellers, you know, corrupt, money-grabbing enemies of British innovation.
36:00They've even managed to link this Eric Tao bloke to the fucking Cultural Revolution.
36:04And there's heavy allusions to you being a drug user.
36:08Which you're not.
36:09Are you?
36:12Yeah, you know what?
36:13No, no.
36:13You know, displays of brute force in a velvet glove.
36:16It's disgusting.
36:17And I'd love to brain Norton and scatter the pieces all over his chessboard.
36:22But I can't.
36:25What's this say?
36:27Yeah, of course I've spoken to short sellers.
36:29It says cavorting with short sellers, does it not?
36:32Well, being in league with them is a fabulous construction.
36:36They're fucking meaningless words, man.
36:38They're words.
36:39That is what Halberstrum does.
36:42Where's the proof of profiting?
36:44You know what?
36:45Let's start here.
36:46When I'm targeting this cheaply, I expect the support of my editor.
36:50Look, why are we posturing ourselves to anonymous pictures?
36:53It's blackmail.
37:00I'm not perfect.
37:04I spent a lot of my early years lying.
37:10Then I stopped.
37:12And my world got better.
37:19Who is Hayley Clay?
37:27She...
37:30She works at Thunder.
37:32Okay, well...
37:33You coerced and according to the complaint, assaulted her.
37:38No, no.
37:39I never fucking touched her.
37:39They're pressing charges.
37:41They're weighing charges.
37:41That's what it says.
37:42Ed, Ed, I didn't touch her.
37:43Well, even if I wanted to believe you, what the fuck were you doing in our fucking house?
37:47What am I supposed to say?
37:49And I can't.
37:50In good conscience.
37:52In my job I was looking for.
37:53James.
37:53I was just trying to get a story.
37:57I can't, in good conscience, not make this an internal disciplinary matter and recommend your termination.
38:04Come on.
38:05Ed.
38:06No, no, no, no, no.
38:07You...
38:08What can I do?
38:09I'm sorry.
38:09You don't have to do that.
38:11You're intrepid.
38:12You're fucking smart.
38:14And in your gut, I know you know that when you went to Arathlas, you were making a fatal fucking
38:21error of judgment.
38:29Mate, I need...
38:30I need this.
38:36I can't...
38:37I can't do anything now.
38:42I'm burning my retinas out trying to pass these Atterbury emails.
38:46Anything material?
38:46Not really.
38:48I mean, Whitney never really talks about business, at least in writing.
38:50I mean, maybe that's the unredacted correspondence.
38:53One thing that is interesting, though, is his most active interlocutor is a guy called Tony Day.
38:58I mean, they speak pejoratively about Jonah, mostly from Tony's side.
39:02It reads like sycophancy to Whitney.
39:05It's like playground bullying.
39:06Who is Tony Day?
39:07Oh, based in Accra, I looked up his CV online.
39:10A Dharam alarm, decade vet, Morgan Stanley Ops, drops to die with securities, maybe redundancy or firing.
39:16Lands in Accra in 2011 when Ghana's GDP growth is batshit, like low teens.
39:22Has a failed telecom biz, has a failed high-speed rail thingy,
39:27and then all of a sudden he's the CFO of Tender in Africa.
39:31Meteoric over-promotion even for a white guy.
39:34And look at this.
39:37When have you ever seen a $50 million acquisition closed with a novelty check?
39:42That's what they paid for this third-party processor, Swift GC.
39:46It's artificial, right? Like, gut read.
39:50Presentation is pretense.
39:51Hmm.
39:53He looks like the hated chairman of a lower league football team,
39:56not a, not the CFO of a multinational payment processor.
40:00It's a big song and dance, it's cheap.
40:03I wonder if anyone's flown to Accra and knocked on their door.
40:08I'll call you back.
40:10You wanted to see us?
40:11Yeah, I did.
40:12I want to propose a reshuffle.
40:15Gaz is gonna be co-running communications for us going forward.
40:18On what grounds?
40:20Forward-looking ones.
40:22Whitney, you know I won't stand to share the post, especially with someone so ill-qualified.
40:26I think qualification is a secondary to instincts.
40:29I also anticipated that you'd have too much pride to share the post, in which case...
40:33Yes, she'd like to do the honors.
40:36Do what?
40:37Your first task is, um, our new head of communications.
40:40I don't follow.
40:41Let him go. Fire him. Dismiss him.
40:43She doesn't have the power to do that.
40:44Well, she does if she accepts the post. Do you accept it?
40:46I do.
40:47She accepted it, so...
40:48We can work together?
40:49I don't think we can.
40:50Right, so, I guess I'll dismiss then.
40:55You're kidding me, right?
40:55You're a little bit, uh...
40:58Trad.
40:59For what we want to do next.
41:03This isn't a start-up.
41:05You should Google the Dunning-Kruger effect.
41:08Good luck.
41:17You did a great job on Dyker.
41:19You stopped the story from running.
41:21You deserve this.
41:23Well, those photos seem to tell the whole story.
41:26Yeah.
41:27Haley's yours if you want her.
41:29But...
41:29You and me, Henry...
41:32We ride together.
41:33We die together.
41:41Whitney gave me the green light to promote you.
41:44Comms role.
41:45Under me.
41:48You okay?
41:50Bad earlier?
41:51Oh.
41:51Yeah, sure.
41:53It's not like I haven't been sexually harassed before.
41:55I was a child model for fuck's sake.
42:01You're promoting me because you really rape me.
42:03Right?
42:04Yeah, of course.
42:07I thought it was because of how good I sucked your husband's cock.
42:12I wonder, why did it feel like it was your cock in my mouth?
42:18I like that.
42:20An ex-boss told me, uh, an anxiety relief thing once.
42:25Breathing exercises?
42:26No.
42:27No, he said,
42:29Haley,
42:30baby.
42:31When it all gets too much,
42:33just remember,
42:35not a single one of us gets out of this alive.
42:46Thank you, Mommy.
42:53So, I just got off the phone with Wilhelmina,
42:55CEO of Al Mirage Pierpoint.
42:57They offered the financing we asked for in form of a cocoa.
43:01A contingent convertible bond.
43:02So, they're protecting their downside.
43:04Have they seen something they don't like?
43:05It depends how you look at it.
43:06It's a good bridge.
43:07Where we grow our deposit base,
43:09repayment only gets triggered.
43:11If the stock falls beneath a certain threshold,
43:13which we know it won't,
43:14not with the momentum we have.
43:15Yeah, well,
43:16given how distressed an asset Pierpoint is,
43:19and how readily Al Mirage wants rid,
43:21it might be smart to deploy some cash,
43:23silently buy some equity,
43:25and it gives us leverage in the partnership longer term,
43:28means we can finesse them a little.
43:30I think that's very smart.
43:32You could see the hard-on in Dyker's knickers
43:34when he thought he was calling us out in front of an audience.
43:37Can I just say, I followed your speech online,
43:40and it was just what was needed.
43:42A man possessed.
43:44Brilliant.
43:53Thank you for, um, everything you said to me before I went out.
43:59Your belief meant a lot.
44:02Permission to speak out of school?
44:04Please.
44:06Some people see people as just, uh, moving parts in a social process.
44:12Objects that can either help or hinder.
44:15There's a few things more toxic in this world than privileged people who are intellectually insecure.
44:24You see, that's quite loaded.
44:28If you want to insult my wife, I have the good grace to come out and say it.
44:33I see people differently.
44:36You have an innate worth supersedes the life you were born into.
44:42I believe that about myself, too.
44:44It's what I live to achieve and I yearn to do.
44:48Show the world my true value.
44:53Well, we helped each other do that.
44:58At least for a day.
45:26Oh, God.
45:27Oh, God, thank God.
45:37I know you are, by the way.
45:40You know, sorry.
45:44I just had to say something.
45:46I'm sorry about what happened to your wife.
45:49You know, for what it's worth, I think they demonized you.
45:53I deserved it.
45:56I remember the skewer coverage.
45:59And it would have been very different if you were you and, you know, she wasn't.
46:05You know, no offence, but...
46:07Posh and white.
46:09They said the guy who, uh, went down for it was, um, schizophrenic, right?
46:13Or BPD or something.
46:15Some diminished responsibility thing.
46:18Yeah, a family of fighting the man's sort of charge.
46:21He got hospital disposal.
46:24Brain went west after years of smoking weapons-grade skunk.
46:30So his lawyer argued.
46:32For fuck's sake.
46:35Wait, you saw it?
46:37Do you want the cigarette?
46:38Eh?
46:39Cigarette?
46:39Oi!
46:41Fuck off, you urchin!
46:42Go on!
46:43Fuck off!
46:46I've seen him operate outside here.
46:48He looks for wasted people.
46:50Them fags are laced with some fucking spooky PCP or some shit.
46:54He'll fuck you up.
46:55Then he'll take you round a corner.
46:57And he'll turn you over for your wallet and your watch.
46:59All right.
47:00Cheers, mate.
47:01Cheers.
47:01No worries.
47:02London's full of shitheels on the take.
47:05Yeah.
47:06You want a pint?
47:08Yeah, mate.
47:09That's good.
47:10Do you want a pint?
47:11Oh, I could go enough.
47:14Okay.
47:16Let's go, lad.
47:20That one's on me, lads.
47:27Mate, I'm flying to a car next week.
47:30I can still sell published.
47:31Someone will fucking pick it up.
47:33I have to admit something, though.
47:34I have to admit something.
47:35I know you, too.
47:36I know you, too.
47:37I did a little work for Harper's Stern.
47:40You thought that silly cunt's ghosted me.
47:42All right, you've been following me.
47:43Well, I looked into you a little, yeah.
47:46Oh, you broke into my house.
47:48I was just wondering whether to short tender PA.
47:50I thought there might be a little edge.
47:51Don't you think I'm the type to tell you when to fucking dial in before publishing?
47:54We are all just trying to secure our future, aren't we?
47:58Did you follow me tonight?
48:00Be honest.
48:01Mate, I just, I just want to put a pint.
48:02That tub is full of dermal.
48:04Pints.
48:06Women.
48:06I've got the disease, mate.
48:07I love birds.
48:08What the fuck are you doing there, man?
48:09What?
48:10It's a fucking gay bar.
48:14I know there's one bird, yeah?
48:16Hayley.
48:16Hayley.
48:17Fucking a corporate smoke show.
48:19She fucking threw it on me, man.
48:21Fucking asked me to go down on it, yeah?
48:22So I do.
48:23Fucking look up.
48:25She's fucking passed out.
48:28Harry, could you stop to me?
48:30Fuck off.
48:32I'm fucking sick of it.
48:34I'm sick of the fucking forced discourse between the sexes, right?
48:38Not everything has to be a fucking minefield these days.
48:43I mean, she gave me a fucking consent, man.
48:49Can I ask you a really, uh, really querying question?
48:57Yeah.
48:59What was it like?
49:01You know, just, uh, seeing your wife die like that.
49:10What?
49:11Fucking sorry, man.
49:12Fucking no-
49:12Oh, well, stupid fucking question.
49:14Forget it.
49:19You're disassociated.
49:20Right?
49:21You're right?
49:22Yeah.
49:23Mate, I saw this fucking girl, mate.
49:25Getting fucking DP'd on my feet the other day.
49:28You know, this block's just fucking dark.
49:31Oh, just fucking sharing of me.
49:34You know, Jack, guys, must have been like fucking 18 max.
49:38Yeah, just black air force weapons, tech fleeces, fucking balaclavas.
49:42You know, the man, just fucking, oh, oh, oh, oh.
49:45Just fucking call me.
49:47Call me.
49:48You fucking are a show, you know?
49:51It's like I'm watching it, you know?
49:57Yeah, mate.
49:58Hey, mate.
49:59You fucking turned news down, man.
50:08This is you.
50:09I don't know why I'm your person, because he might be sick and selfish, but you need to be sick
50:14with him.
50:15I bet you have no idea what it's like to feel loved.
50:18But you've had reaction now.
50:20Well, now we just need to pass respect it.
50:22I never, I never once dreamed of her.
50:24You know, good or bad.
50:26The means of production, right?
50:29We just, we just, we just haze, we have, you know, all right?
50:31I mean, it's the wheel of production.
50:34Consumption.
50:35I mean, it's bread and circuses, man.
50:37Streamed and glorious 4K.
50:39Maybe I just, I just killed myself.
50:42Hey?
50:43No, man.
50:45Suicide, mate.
50:46Make me laugh, man.
50:47You are too selfish to conceptualise the world without yourself in it, having every base need catered for.
50:53Our grandads, yeah?
50:54They used to fucking paint Marilyn Monroe on the side of a fucking plane.
50:58And then they'd use that plane to fire Bondres that they'd be lucky enough to meet one Marilyn-class type
51:03lady in the flesh in their lives.
51:05But us, man, we fucking jerk off to a dozen gang-banging squirt in Marilyn's before dawn.
51:10And we wonder why we don't have to get up and go to go die in a war.
51:13We're on a ghost ship.
51:14Fucking system that can incorporate any critique.
51:18Just turn it into a marketable commodity.
51:19You didn't think about it, right?
51:20Nothing has depth, nothing has traction, nothing, nothing's fucking serious, right?
51:25We're just steam on a mirror.
51:27You're gonna die a fucking spectre, yeah?
51:30A priest at the altar of your own fucking ego.
51:33Oi!
51:34Fucking hell, mate.
51:35Turn the fucking music down.
51:36You know what?
51:37Go fuck yourself, you little fucking slug!
51:41You, you, you are like the free and the afters who doesn't know where to shut his fucking hole.
51:46Are you laughing?
51:47You don't know what it's like to be a father.
51:49No, I fucking do, actually, man.
51:50You know what?
51:51It fucking doesn't change a thing.
51:52You're in his life.
51:53You're out of his life.
51:54He's fucking damned evil, right?
51:56Such bullshit!
51:57You know what I dream about, yeah?
51:58I dream about the fact that all my friends are richer than me.
52:01And when I don't dream about that, I dream about faceless fitness influencer
52:04making a pornographic payday out of her own fucking privacy.
52:08Fucking mate!
52:09I am not gonna ask you again.
52:11Turn the fucking music down, yeah?
52:13And it's on us, man.
52:15We've built an interface with the world which gives us what we want,
52:18but not what we want to want.
52:20I don't know how we want to do with the world.
52:22I don't know how we want to do the world.
52:23It's not what we want to do, I don't know.
52:25I can't get some more beers.
52:28Fuck ya.
52:31Good idea.
52:33I like the idea.
52:42We're out.
52:49Our mate's the gentleman.
52:52Need a slush.
53:08We're out.
53:36We're out.
53:51Mate.
53:55Mate.
53:57Mate.
53:58Mate, come on.
54:01Wake up, wake up, wake up.
54:06Mate.
54:07Mate.
54:07Come on, come on, come on.
54:14Evening, sir.
54:15There's been a complaint on the noise.
54:21The sound.
54:23The sound of the sound of the sound.
54:26The sound of the sound of the sound of the sound.
54:29It's not a mess.
54:32I'mjan, man.
54:34Look at that.
54:41What?
54:42The sound of the sound.
55:03Check down there.
55:15Not breathing, possible drugs over there.
55:51Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while.
55:55Heaven can wait, we're only watching the skies.
55:59Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst.
56:02Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?
56:05Let us die young or let us live forever.
56:09We don't have the power, but we never say never.
56:12Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip.
56:16The music's for the sad man.
56:19Can you imagine when this race is won?
56:23Turn our golden faces into the sun.
56:26Praising our leaders, we're getting in tune.
56:30The music's played by the mad mad.
56:33Forever young, I want to be forever young.
56:39Do you really want to live forever?
56:44Forever, forever, forever young.
56:49I want to be forever young.
56:53Do you really want to live forever?
56:59Forever young.
57:03Fairy People.
57:30Good looking for wind- Brig browsers.
57:31You
