  • I may write what we are all thinking…

    I wanna leave a review but I don’t.

    I have wiki’d and google my life off……….

    Where did this duo come from?

    (Couldn’t tell ya)

    I feel blindsided.

    I adored Meahel & Simon together… the riff off Aussie culture grounded me and I always felt welcomed.

    Unfortunately while this podcast is beautifully edited, rehearsed and professional… it lacks the authentic soul of a past power couple.

    Life is serious enough….

    This makes 2026 feel bleak…. is that the right word?

    … hmmmm beige. Like a profes... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ben Carlson: How to Build Wealth When Everything Is Expensive
Q: Everybody wants to know when the next big crash is. Do you think we're heading that way?
Carlson says market booms and busts are difficult to predict, and investors should avoid trying to time the market. He recommends building a portfolio that matches their time horizon and risk profile and can withstand downturns.
Ben Carlson: How to Build Wealth When Everything Is Expensive
Q: Do you still believe that owning property will make you rich?
Carlson says some young people may build more wealth by investing money in the stock market instead of buying a home, though they would miss the emotional benefits of home ownership.
The Truth About Inequality, AI & The Threat of Nuclear War | Branko Milanović
Q: What will happen if people have no jobs?
Milanović argues that unemployment is not only a loss of income. Work can provide identity, self-esteem and a sense of community, so a universal income alone may not address the social and political effects of large-scale joblessness.
The Truth About Inequality, AI & The Threat of Nuclear War | Branko Milanović
Q: Why does inequality matter?
Milanović says his interest grew from studying social issues and class structures, then seeing how statistical methods could be applied to real-world income distributions. He views inequality as important because it helps explain social structures and changes in people's circumstances.
Chris Voss: How to Get Anyone to Say Yes
Q: What's the best way to deal with a manipulative person?
Voss recommends assessing whether the person is targeting you and, when the relationship is exploitative, ending it respectfully rather than continuing to engage.
