These guys are the perfect mix of informational and entertaining. With weekly finance discussion, it’s hard to find pods that keep topics fresh. This is the pod you’re looking for, I promise.
Not much content. Just nothing.
Ben talking about his wife, laughing at him through his misfortune with his cactus adventure. I thought my wife was the only one that laughed at me from my misfortune. Must be a wife thing.
I think I’ve listed to every episode (not to brag ) - these guys make my commute fun !!
