Ep. 144 - Addressing the Backlash, ICE Debate & Deep Thoughts
<p>Welcome to another chaotic episode of Don't Be Sour, where we somehow go from debating massage etiquette to dissecting international politics to arguing about whether snowboarding is cooler than skiing (spoiler: it obviously is). This week, David sold his entire house—furniture, gym equipment, and all—in like 48 hours to some cash-wielding strangers who apparently loved his interior design choices. Meanwhile, Shawley got catfished by a squat rack that looks like it was assembled by someone who'd never seen a gym before. Oh, and Maxx discovered books exist. Wild times.</p> <p>We dive deep into the hard-hitting questions nobo...

<p>The boys are back in the studio (minus David, RIP to his empty chair), and they're diving straight into the chaos. Christian's hyping up the first-ever Alpha League Games with ninja warrior courses, mechanical bulls, and G-wagon pulls—oh, and Max just bet $1,000 he can beat Shawley on the obstacle course despite never seeing it. They're also debating participation trophies, planning livestreams, and figuring out if 30% attendance from 2,000 RSVPs is optimistic or pessimistic. Spoiler: there's definitely going to be some line-cutting drama.</p> <p>From there, things get wonderfully random. The crew tackles the hard-hitting questions: Are they too ol...
The £1 trillion war chest: why the UK is stronger than you think

Will Trump END All Tariffs? Dr. Art Laffer explains

We dig into the Laffer Curve, real tax data going back decades, trade policy, and why ignoring incentives keeps leading to the same economic failures. This conversation isn’t about politics—it’s about what the evidence actually shows.<br /><br />Earn a yield on gold, paid in gold: https://buff.ly/9n0CK0N
Ep. 145 - Evolution Arguments, YouTuber Problems & The Epstein Documents

Spoiler alert: probably not, unless you're willing to pivot to political commentary or fake a monster in your kid's closet. They dissect the brutal reality of content creation in 2025—where 50% of your own subscribers don't even watch your videos, vlogs are dying faster than their golf skills, and the podcast might actually be cannibalizing their individual channels.

Happy Hodling</p><br><p>Craig kicked off the week focused on geopolitical uncertainty and the S&P 500, noting that after U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran, futures immediately gapped lower more than one percent, reinforcing his view that Bitcoin continues to trade like a liquidity-driven tech asset rather than “digital gold.” He’s been warning about S&P consolidation for weeks, and with support now being tested again, he believes a decisive breakdown in equities could drag crypto lower as well.

From Dweeb to Rock Star: How Hi-Fi Earplugs Like Etymotic’s Music Pro Elite Took Over Concerts
Back in the 80s and 90s, earplugs at a concert were a one-way ticket to dweeb status. Protecting your hearing? Please. You might as well have stayed home with a VHS and some Tang.

Why Passive Investing Is Creating a Market Time Bomb | Mike Green

$20 Billion a Week — What Could Go Wrong? - Michael Pento
<p>In this interview, Kerry Lutz speaks with Michael Pento about how liquidity may already be expanding by as much as $20 billion per week, quietly pushing the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet back toward $7 trillion — despite continued claims of tight policy.</p><p>He warns that the next recession could bring massive deficits in the $4–6 trillion range, potentially forcing the Fed to become the primary buyer of U.S. debt once again.
