You’re in for a treat, loyal Hashtag 42 fans. Taylor and Gunner finally burned some cash and got real deal podcasting gear for your listening pleasure. Then for whatever reason, Gunner decides to rant about the price of cattle, how they get graded, and what to look for when you’re shopping for meat. And if you haven’t turned the podcast off by then, you can catch Taylor sum up the situation in Ukraine… That’s right! He’s still not convinced that Vlad is going to strike!

Spy Guy Brief: PIMCO + Blackrock = Germany’s GDP. Wait what?

What do you know about bonds? Two guys run two bond firms that equal the size of Germany’s GDP. Germany’s economy produces the fourth largest GDP in the world. Isn’t that a strange sentence? Two guys run a couple of bond firms that have the same economic output as 80+ million Germans. I’m sure it’s fine. Their probably very smart and have proper SEC oversight so there’s definitely nothing to worry about. Probably time to read about bonds.

Your gonna learn something this week! After addressing the bizarre outcome of some bullying in Pennsylvania, Taylor and Gunner chat about the dickery transpiring with some cattle ranchers in Nevada. Then it leads into the high finance conversation that Taylor brought up last week and wall street is basically capitalizing on internet lag to allow banks to have all of the money and make up their own rules. But seriously, smaller government please!
