About this episode
Jerome met Trump, Trump yelled "Cut Rates," and Powell clutched his “Data Dependent” sign like a life raft. In this episode, Chris, Saied and Rajeil dissect the political theater behind a rare Oval Office showdown between the Fed Chair and the former President. Spoiler: Jamie Dimon’s lurking in the background muttering “I told you so,” and Uncle Elon’s possibly staging a PR divorce from Trump just to win back California Tesla buyers. The guys break it all down — from media optics to real economic implications — with sarcasm, stats, and side-eyes.?? Plus, the housing market's got more cracks than your uncle’s drywall job. A record-breaking gap between sellers and buyers has the guys asking if affordability is even real anymore, or just something we say to feel better. Sprinkle in some hard truths about wage stagnation, a cameo from Saied’s son Adam (who steals the show), and a breakdown of why “the American dream” now requires a \$300K salary and a therapist. This one hits hard — and hits funny.? Have you left your "honest ??????????" review? ? THS MERCH: http://www.thspod.com?
