The Jeff Goldbum of podcasting, Chris Naghibi, and the Louie Anderson of podcasting, Saied Omar, are back, and this time they're tackling the economy with unfocused and unstructured charm. Starting with a light-hearted critique of Chris' newfound love for wearing green—a strategy he swears is to win favor at home but admits has been a complete flop. From there, the duo launches into the harsh realities of wage stagnation and rising home prices, painting a vivid picture of how even modest salary increases are devoured by the ever-growing beast of inflation. They break down why the average American is essentially on a financial hamster wheel, running faster but getting nowhere.

➡️ Amid the numbers and economic analysis, Chris and Saied keep it relatable with personal anecdotes, like Chris recounting his transition from being overly sensitive to criticism to leaning into the jokes—a move that’s made life a lot more enjoyable (even if Saied insists he still hasn’t fully let go). The conversation turns to actionable advice, encouraging listeners to take charge of their financial futures by stepping out of their comfort zones and treating financial growth like fitness: intimidating at first, but life-changing with consistency. If you’ve ever wanted a masterclass in turning financial stress into a strategy, this episode is your comedic and educational golden ticket.
