Customer Reviews
Good show… especially about what not to do
I enjoy listening to the show. My main interest is hearing what Micheal has to say and to NOT follow his advice. He was wrong on Tesla, wrong on Bitcoin, wrong on the V shape recovery, wrong on Uber, wrong on Apple, wrong on GME, etc…
Solid Podcast Overall, Sometimes Annoying Though
For the most part I enjoy Animal Spirits, though sometimes their opinion and outlooks seem a bit delusional and reek of tunnel vision. Their views are seemingly driven by mainstream media narratives as opposed to reality observed upon leaving one’s house. Overall enjoy listening the show, but generally tune out the more subjective discussions.
The Best
Love this podcast. Helped me stay sane during the pandemic. I could listen to Michael and Ben all day. Great content, I just wish there were more each week to listen to (“talk your book” doesn’t count lol).
