  • Great personal finance podcast

    I’ve been listening for a few years now and it’s part of my weekend routine, I wouldn’t change it for anything else.

    It’s informational, casual, entertaining, useful.

    I hope they let Jack (H-O-U-G-H) run the show for years to come!

    Batman without Robin might be almost as effective against supervillains, but is only half as fun, and as soon as Jackson is absent, well, it shows (even without the visual part). The latest episode mixing, lower volume, muffled sound, lack of… a wingman proves it one more time. Just buy his banana peels startup and bring hime back already.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Does Show Business Still Work?
Q: Do you have any thoughts on areas of the market or walks of life, occupations that are really going to be severely disrupted by AI in the coming years?
Curtis expects finance professionals to use AI to work faster and broaden their scope, while spending more time on primary research and human judgment. He says young professionals will still need hands-on training, mentoring and experience building financial models and research skills.
Does Show Business Still Work?
Q: When we look at how tech heavy the US stock market is right now, and especially when we consider where the earnings growth is coming from and so forth, do you feel okay about the market broadly? Is that a good thing? Are we generally reasonably priced and in an okay place going forward?
Curtis says the equal-weight S&P 500 is trading around 15 times earnings, in line with long-run historical levels, and does not believe the market is expensive or fully accounting for innovation-driven productivity gains.
Spooky Agents, Cable’s Second Death, and Stock Picks
Q: If I asked you to share with us a few of your favorite names in the portfolio right now, which ones would you name?
McPadden names TSMC, Hermès and Shopify, citing TSMC's manufacturing complexity, Hermès' long-term pricing power and Shopify's focus on helping merchants grow.
Spooky Agents, Cable’s Second Death, and Stock Picks
Q: How do you tell whether the best returns are already in or whether there's a lot more to go?
McPadden says the decision balances the size of the opportunity with conviction, and the firm generally waits until companies have demonstrated a competitive advantage and its team has had time to assess management.
The Disruption Scorecard
Q: How substantial are the early benefits from the Discover migration?
On the host's estimates, the migration has already produced over a billion dollars of synergies, suggesting meaningful near-term financial upside even before broader adoption.
