  • Trite

    Hosts are a little insufferable. When they use words like “flywheel”, I cringe. Pod tries to be Acquired but without the research.

  • Arrogant host

    Joe constantly interrupts and overtalks his guests and co-host. Super annoying. I would love to listen to this pod because I’m interested in the subject matter, but Joe makes it unlistenable.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Rory Johnston on How Oil Could Surge to Over $200 a Barrel
Q: What role do strategic stockpiles play in this scenario, and why might leaders hesitate to release more from SPR or other stockpiles?
Stockpiles can dampen short-term price spikes by providing emergency supply, but a world-scale disruption requires substantial, coordinated releases that may not be feasible due to logistical limits and political considerations; hesitation also stems from fears of signaling weakness or delaying structural adjustments, while long-term market signals suggest relying on stockpiles alone cannot fully offset a multi-week to multi-month shut.
Rory Johnston on How Oil Could Surge to Over $200 a Barrel
Q: Talk to us about $200 Barrel. Can you walk us through the math of how we get there, or why that seems like where it could go and not just say 150?
The price level would require the Strait of Hormuz disruption to persist long enough to eliminate a large portion of global flow, with refiners unable to compensate quickly due to limited spare capacity; demand destruction would need to kick in, particularly for low-income countries, while high-priced arbitrage opportunities keep barrels moving and incentivize cross-border supply moves, creating a feedback loop that keeps prices elevated.
War in Iran Is Creating a Fertilizer Crisis Like Never Before
Q: What's happening with fertilizer in Morocco?
Morocco is one of the world's largest phosphate producers and is expanding its phosphate production; because phosphate is a critical nutrient, Morocco's increasing output could help ease some supply pressures, given its low-cost position and freight advantages.
War in Iran Is Creating a Fertilizer Crisis Like Never Before
Q: What is urea?
Urea is the most commonly used nitrogen fertilizer; it is produced by processing natural gas into ammonia, then converting that ammonia into a granular nitrogen-rich product that is easy to store and apply, comprising about 46% nitrogen.
Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev on Tokenization and Prediction Markets for Everything
Q: Will tokenized private shares eventually be as liquid as traditional equities, and what protections are in place?
The team expects liquidity to improve over time, with phased rollout (V1 vs V2 vs phase three) and ongoing regulatory dialogue to ensure safety, while keeping key protections and clear disclosures for investors.
