Customer Reviews
Tom on fire!
Perhaps it’s the holiday spirit talking but Tom was on fire today (Dec 18th)! Set him free more often!
Phony Financial Advice
This show often promotes itself as providing sound financial advice. However, one of the show’s hosts advocates for the socialization of his daughter’s student loan debt to the rest of us. Not really very sound financial advice! I would have thought a show named “Talking Real Money” would lean a little more towards promoting personal financial responsibility. You won’t find that here.
Best Episode Ever!
The “Why Take Risk” episode is the best in the history of investing podcasts. First time I ever got my wife to listen. Five hours later, we can’t stop laughing.
We love you guys here in Mississippi
