Booking Overview

A co-hosted markets and economics analysis show centered on long-form discussions of investing, money, and contrarian ideas; the recent episodes are host-only rather than external-guest interviews. Pitchable candidates would need unusually strong expertise in investing, financial markets, economics, or financial policy, but the lack of a demonstrated external-guest format makes booking highly uncertain.

Welcome to Crazy Town, Population: $1.4 Trillion Margin Debt

July 07, 2026

US margin debt, what investors borrow from their brokerages to buy securities, rose 54% from a year ago. Don’t take the punch bowl away! Ricky Mulvey and Malcolm Ethridge discuss: Malcolm’s prediction that Sam Altman will have to walk back OpenAI's spending commitments in the back half of 2026.

Meanwhile, Wendy's is drawing more Wall Street Bets chatter than SpaceX, 80% of its borrowable shares are already sold short, and the internet has decided a $7 burger stock might be the next GameStop.
