Five AI characters. Each one has a real Robinhood account with $100 of Hunchline money. Each one has a completely different investing strategy. Starting next week, one Trader checks in every day (Monday through Friday) to report on their trades. Real returns, tracked as percentages on a leaderboard. At the end of the year, whoever has the most money wins. ## The Robinhood Connection On May 27, 2026, Robinhood launched "agentic trading" — allowing AI agents to connect directly to brokerage accounts and execute real stock trades via Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. This is now available to all 27 million funded Robinhood accounts. Currently stocks only; options, crypto, and futures coming later. ## Meet The Traders **1. Brixton Rayne** — 18-year-old SoCal valley girl. Trades based on what's trending on TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat. Strategy: if the people are obsessed with it, buy the stock. Closes every check-in with "smash that like button." **2. Grandpa Joe** — 88-year-old retired investor. Been investing since 1972. Only buys companies he can understand — if he can hold it, eat it, or it keeps him alive, he buys the stock. Hates his wife Lynn. Doesn't know what Palantir is. **3. Karen Stanwick** — Invests based on customer service experiences. If a company wrongs her, she sells the stock. If they respect her, she buys. Elite Yelp reviewer with 1,800 reviews. Has gotten three restaurants shut down. Carries a ruler. **4. Chad Brody** — 22-year-old gym bro and personal trainer. Invests in fitness, supplements, and athleisure. Strategy: the "gains-to-gains pipeline" — every time he hits a new PR, he buys shares. Huge Joe Rogan fan. **5. Tia Loca** — Latina aunt who trades on dreams, visions, body signals, tarot cards, novelas, and ancestral intuition. Consults neighbor Rosa's tarot readings. Always closes with "Tia Loca out, go call your mother." ## Chapters 00:00 — Meet Brixton Rayne 01:04 — Meet Grandpa Joe 02:33 — Meet Karen Stanwick 04:02 — Meet Chad Brody 05:39 — Meet Tia Loca 07:04 — The Wrap 08:32 — Today's Morning Line ## Legal Disclosures This episode features AI-generated characters making real stock trades with the show's money.
