Episode 6: Jerome Powell-less?
Fresh off the #podcast printer.. the lads discuss $WKHS making an OSHKOSH of the USPS contract (no thanks to YTers, too!), Jerome Powel-less plays little to no part in Season 2 of the hit show, The Stimulus Hype (that's a first!). Over on the other side, Rishi Sunak (or Scrooge as he's known), is to stop at no cost, we hear - and he's bringing out the good 'ol Casio Scientific to address us with. What a time to be alive. What's more - the lads talk Bonds, yes, more talk on Bonds... and Accidental Savers - something YOU may be a culprit of, too! ARE YOU? Tune in for the usual banter and find out if you're an accidental saver, too, and what it means for the economy.
