  • My go-to podcast twice a day for many years. I have 1 issue with it: ads have slowly increased in length and frequency over the years. There are now 3 90-second ad breaks in each episode, and that 2 minute long one about the yoga scam.

    Issue 2: interview with Dave Ramsey and not correcting or putting his statement about gas prices under Biden in context.

  • Pinning down the hypocrisy

    Tristan did a great job holding finance guru Dave Ramsey’s feet to the fire, trying to elicit Ramsey’s views on repercussions of US policy in Iran. No surprise Ramsey wouldn’t bite but a good interview, regardless.

  • Giggling Ramsey

    Just started listening to podcast with Dave Ramsey. But stopped soon. He does this giggling like a 5 yr old school girl every minute. Just awful. What is purpose. He says in first minute here can’t control much like the straight of Hormuz or stock markets. What about controlling this giggling?

  • A journalists from within Dubai, who definitely has no reason to be afraid of being honest, tells everyone how safe Dubai is. And one of the most annoying BBC "journalists" just goes along with it. Making sure to use her trademark interrupting the interviewee a few times for good measure. I keep trying to like the global story and failing.
