Make Your Wife Happy this Weekend

Forget the Flowers and Make some Music

Today I want to give you something completely practical.
A trick that saves money, improves your marriage, and teaches you more about markets than half the analysts on television.

It started yesterday when I made a rock ballad for my wife using Suno.

Let me step back, I like Substack to catch up on culture and art and this crazy cat named Chris Dalla Riva went on a rant about Suno and AI art, so I wanted to verify it and downloaded the Suno app.

Suno is chatGPT for music. Whatever you can think of it will create music in that style.

I did a few for myself and friends, and was thinking of the cassette music mixes we did as children and shared with friends and girlfriends. Guardians of the Galaxy doesn’t have a monopoly on cassette tapes.

Something of which my wife likes to recollect

Think Bon Jovi.
Think 80s guitars.
Think pure stadium energy…

So I took the time and worked on one delivered by AI.

She thought the robots wrote it but smiled a lot and I received many emoji on my phone.

Especially when she saw that I wrote it.
The whole mood of the house changed and 2 days running.

It cost less than a bouquet of flowers.
And unlike flowers, it didn’t fade away

So here’s my Saturday tip for the guys:

Get a one-month Suno subscription.
Write your wife a custom rock song.
Don’t explain it.
Just send it.
Trust me — it works.

This goes onto an opportunity of Warner Brothers for Netflix, last night after almost hitting someone who does not know how to drive, when I came home to unwind I listened to the music I created.

My small little album:
One song about my day.
One about my daughter’s day — which was a tough one.
One about the little moments we never talk about.

It sounds ridiculous.
But it was one of the most honest creative experiences I’ve had in years.

And that’s when something clicked.

Hollywood isn’t winning anymore because of storytelling but just because they monopolized entertainment.
Some shows now feel AI-generated — even if a human wrote them.
The beats line up too perfectly.
The arcs feel familiar.
The whole structure looks like it was assembled from a narrative template.

Even that new Owen Wilson series feels like it came out of a very well-trained model.
Nothing wrong with it — it’s just obvious.

Then there’s Taylor Sheridan.

People think he’s successful because Yellowstone invented a new genre.
It didn’t.
The narrative is as old as television.
The family drama.
The stoic father.
The wounded son.
The corrupt institutions.

Sheridan wins because he finds worlds we never see.
Oil fields.
Bunkhouses.
Rodeos.
Roughneck land.
Slices of America Hollywood abandoned.

He doesn’t innovate plot.
He innovates context.
He maps the parts of the country nobody else dramatized,
and pours masculinity and tension into places we forgot to look.

AI can write formulas.
But AI cannot choose the world.
Only humans do that.

And that’s the part that ties all of this together.

Last night, when I made that album, I wasn’t consuming entertainment anymore.
I was creating it.
I wasn’t waiting for Netflix to feed me another show.
I was building something myself.

This is where the future is headed.

AI isn’t replacing artists.
AI is making the rest of us just dangerous enough to try.
Hollywood used to own the studio.
Now anyone with an idea and a model has their own studio at home.

And yes — this applies to investing too.

Sentiment, narrative, emotion, timing —
they’re all versions of the same thing:

People respond to the story they feel.
Not the numbers the markets quote.

That’s why a rock ballad works better than flowers.
That’s why certain TV shows feel manufactured.
And that’s why markets pump even when the headlines say they shouldn’t.

It’s all the same psychology.

As I keep building this newsletter,
and the Sovereign AI machine behind it,
you’ll see more of these intersections —
where life teaches you the same lessons the market does.

If you want the deeper research — the early reads, the charts, the sentiment windows, the crypto signals, and the opportunities I spot long before the crowd — that’s what the five-dollar tier is for.

It’s not about revenue.
It’s a signal.
It tells me you value this lens enough that I can invest real time into it every day.

Tomorrow we talk Oracle.
Monday we talk on what’s relevant.
