    Recent episodes have had such a heavy liberal bias. I want moderate takes, give me both sides, go back to how it used to be.

    Am I hallucinating that episodes have become shorter than before? They used to be more than 20 or 25,minutes but now episodes are usually 15 minutes including ads.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Billionaires Are Giving Money to Kids
Q: But why kids though? What made him settle on the idea of investment accounts for children?
Brad Gerstner saw that accounts opened at birth could benefit from compound interest over 18 years, give children a stake in the U.S. economy and remove the paperwork barrier families face when setting up custodial accounts.
Why Billionaires Are Giving Money to Kids
Q: What's behind this trend? Why are today's billionaires even making these pledges?
The gifts may reflect genuine philanthropy, but they can also build goodwill for tech companies and their owners, blunt public backlash, and provide tax benefits, especially when donors give appreciated shares.
A Raging Battle Over How Homes Are Sold
Q: Does Compass have any data to support its case that its strategy is actually helping sellers?
Compass cites internal data showing homes initially listed privately sold for 4.6% more on average than comparable homes, but the data's collection and relevance are disputed.
A Raging Battle Over How Homes Are Sold
Q: If I want to sell my house and I'm not LeBron James, why wouldn't I want it to be marketed as widely as possible?
Compass agents describe private listings as a test run to gather feedback on price, presentation, and photos before marketing a home publicly.
Red, White and Who? A Progressive Gamble in Michigan
Q: What happens if this gamble doesn't pay off for Democrats?
McCormick says losing the seat would make it very difficult for Democrats to gain control of the Senate, and would intensify debate over whether the party should move further left or remain more centrist.
