  • Construction Worker Advice

    It’s like going on a job site and listening to the drunk guy rant about things he doesn’t understand. I would rather have a Dog handle my investments.

  • If You Want Dumb and Arrogant, this is your podcast.

    I wonder how many millions has Markowski has lost for his clients? He is typically wrong about everything. He does not understand supply and demand, interest rates, tariffs and most everything else. Stay away from this podcast and never hire such a clueless clown.

    I love the show but can’t take the annoying Farmers insurance commercials anymore.

  • If You Want Dumb and Arrogant, this is your podcast.

    Markowski is too arrogant and stupid to admit that the U.S. has made itself dependent upon Chinese rare earth materials and magnets. In order to buy time while the U.S. develops new sources, Trump made certain concessions, one of these was admitting Chinese students. That is a tough concession but much better than paralyzing the U.S. military and electronics industry.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Living Well Beyond Wealth
Q: Name one positive thing about these prediction markets turning this country into a casino.
The host challenges the premise and asks for any constructive impact, then emphasizes the lack of clear positive outcomes, advocating instead for moral grounding and caution about societal impacts.
Will Higher Oil and Gas Prices Lead To Higher Interest Rates
Q: Question I'm getting, are all these higher oil and gas prices going to lead to higher interest rates? Is the Fed going to have to step in and raise rates because prices are going up?
The host argues that inflation is primarily a monetary issue driven by the printing and borrowing of money, and that supply issues in oil and energy are distinct from monetary inflation, implying rate moves would be tied to broader monetary dynamics rather than isolated price spikes.
Character Over Power: Why Integrity Matters More Than Politics
Q: What would you do and why?
Markowski suggests that if someone prioritizes power over ethics, they would not be a fit for Markowski Investments.
Why Should I Pay Taxes? When Fraud, Waste, and Grift Become the System
