Jason Sanjana and Kevin Eckhart kick off with the three words haunting every American retirement plan: Social Security shortfall. They unpack the insolvency date, demographic headwinds, trillion-dollar investment fantasies, and why Twitter’s sovereign wealth fund bros need to chill (01:30). Then it’s a check-in on bankruptcy’s greatest hits Purdue, Stoli, Hooters, and Red Lobster and how restructuring isn’t the end, it’s just a second act in crab-stuffed limbo (20:26).

Next: the definitive showdown on fried chicken economics. Wendy’s vs. Chick-fil-A vs. the nostalgic train wreck that is Burger King’s original chicken sandwich (27:45). Why brand loyalty, franchise models, and P/E meddling make your lunch a proxy battle for the U.S. consumer.

Then it's legacy leverage and Lakers math (37:12): would the Buss family have made more money just buying the S&P 500 in 1979? Maybe. But would Jack Nicholson have sat courtside at your Vanguard index fund? Doubt it.

Closing out with Caitlin Clark, Sophia Cunningham, and the WNBA’s surging franchise value [42:00] — plus why we might need a bodyguard segment every week. And yes, there's a fake ad for AG1. You're welcome.
