Customer Reviews
Started great, becoming predictable
Love the show, but they need to take a break to reassess structure and put constraints on endless repetition. This happens in everything in life… they simply need to reset. Please do… I haven’t listened weeks because it’s become rather boring
Obnoxious and arrogant
The definition of superiority and conspiracy theory. Unbelievable that people of wealth are soo stupid
Generally good
Usually entertaining and insightful.
Sometimes the waxing poetical about private jets and eating organic elephant meat in Tuscany gets old.
Feels a little “selling sunset” instead of “big short”. I prefer the latter.
