What do you get when you road trip through America in a Tesla, vlog with 106 YouTube followers, and try to import Canadian coffee mugs? A weirdly accurate snapshot of the modern economy, recorded from a hotel room in Bentonville—where everything feels fake, everyone works for Walmart, and your car decides where you're allowed to drive.

Between heatstroke in Texas, supercharger roulette in Oklahoma, and the realization that tariffs turned $600 mugs into a $1,200 mistake, this episode is part travel diary, part economic fever dream. If you've ever wondered what it's like to live inside a glitchy simulation run by algorithms, spreadsheets, and Walmart's HR department... you're in the right place.

We’ve been sold the idea that more tools = more productivity. But what if the “helpful” things—email apps, calendar pings, handwritten parking notes—are actually making life harder, not better?

In this episode, we talk about the difference between being useful and being effective. Why Warren Buffett doesn’t pay dividends. Why deleting your email app might be the best decision you’ll ever make. And why asking strangers not to park on public streets is… not a strategy.

Turns out, doing less might get you a whole lot further.

You ever pay for something that felt ridiculous—but you still did it? That’s not a pricing mistake. That’s capitalism at work.

From The Masters to Coachella, we unpack how sky-high prices aren’t scams—they’re love letters from the free market saying, “You want this more than your money.”

Because when you roll your eyes and still tap your card? That’s not greed. That’s just how value works now.

The market just threw its biggest fit since COVID… and nobody noticed. Restaurants are packed, streets are buzzing, and if you didn’t check your portfolio, you’d never know the S&P was spiraling. Unlike 2020’s synchronized collapse, today’s economic weirdness is a solo act.

So while the wealthy lose sleep over red charts, debt-holders might actually benefit. Call it a silent wealth tax, with bonds back in style and international stocks showing up to play. Meanwhile, the average American is more tuned into Taylor Swift than Treasury yields.

This isn’t just a blip—it might be the first market-led shift since 2008. The question is: will Wall Street’s mess eventually spill onto Main Street, or are we entering a new kind of economic split-screen?

Rich people aren’t automatically good with money. Even an $80 million fortune can’t save you from poor financial decisions. Gene Hackman’s outdated estate plan just turned into a legal circus, all because no one thought to update the documents since 2005.

Many people don’t want to deal with the stress that millions of dollars comes with, and some just delegate those decisions away. Here’s the bottom line: Money ≠ good planning, and your estate plan won’t update itself.

Most people think wealth means flying private or stacking cash—when really, it’s just not overdrafting your account, putting your money in a 401(k) and forgetting about it until you retire.

There are levels to this money game:

• Normal people
• “Smart” people
• Truly rich people

Everyone’s playing different games with different rules—and still comparing bank accounts. Want a real flex? Live within your means and stop chasing someone else’s fantasy.

Most of the ads on social media for ‘building passive income’ are actually very much NOT passive at all. In fact, in the rare occasion where your income is truly passive, you probably had to work for it leading up to it.

If you think renting is just throwing money away, think again. While homeowners deal with surprise expenses, market crashes, and “passive” income that’s anything but passive, renters enjoy flexibility and zero repair bills. So who’s really winning there?

I also dive into the "usefulness" of tech and the privilege of eating out, plus how social media warps our spending habits. Maybe all you really need is a countryside farm and some WiFi.

Are you dodging investing like an awkward ex? You’re not alone. We unpack why people avoid their money and how bad stereotypes (looking at you, used car salesmen) mess with our decisions.

Many say investing is just glorified gambling, but patience, index funds, and basic math say otherwise. If you’re interested in investing but have always wondered how exactly you go about it, this episode’s for you. Get your money right before your accounts end up in the unclaimed property abyss.
