Good listen this pod.
You can play a drinking game with it too.. every time the lads refer to each other by using their first names have a drink. You will be blind by the end of an episode lol.
But yes it’s a good pod.
Really enjoy the pod. Al sways great topics and well discussed. Nice way to stay the weekend with a catch up on the week that was finance. Enjoy the opening jokes!!! Rehearsed??!! lol
Thanks again
I’m surprised as anyone to admit I was wrong when I first reviewed this podcast. I stuck with it and now find it’s a must-listen.
Love this show. Don’t miss it … best finance show in Australia
You guys are a couple of unprepared lefties who wing it each week and then slip away and privately gladly reap the $ benefits of fiscal conservative leadership. Now, we have a grown man, host James Thomson attacking Donald Trump every week and, more recently, doing impressions of him. Grow up, dude. This isn’t SNL.
