  • Be quiet Ben

    Ben is ruining the show with negativity and politics lately. I would tamp down on that. Don’t ruin a great show that has been working for you.

  • Great convos but you’ll hear some political jabs

    I love the market and life conversations, but Ben has major TDS. It’s his show, he can say what he wants, but the subtle jabs at Trump can be a little annoying. Won’t stop me from listening though I like the chemistry.

  • Just talk

    These guys are good talkers but don’t really understand the markets beyond level 1. Wouldn’t trust their money management.
