Booze, Booms & Busts

How do you sit down when you have a gun stuffed down your pants? Does the Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO) trump the pain of losing hard in crypto? And will your AI girl/boyfriend steal your banking details? Grab a beer and tune in as the boys answer these critical questions in the latest BBB!

After a year in the Portuguese wilderness, Sam Volkering returns to the mic once more! Coming up this week: How many affairs at the office is too many, and why is the "average" at BP 1-3? The unending mystery of oil and the Middle East The Cantillon effect - the secret key to free real estate (and good beer)?

It's been a long time since the last episode of #BBB... but the pub must remain open! While Sam Volkering is with us only in spirit this episode, Nickolai Hubble returns to the show as a co-host to discuss how the world over the past year. Are we witnessing the End of Net Zero? Why do populist politicians in continental Europe never seem to deliver what they're elected to do? And why do the Japane...

It's been seven hour and 15 days...oops sorry wrong podcast. It's been five weeks and two days since we took your love away, since we did a Booze, Booms & Busts. But we are back and oh boy! has there been a lot going on. From crypto "Red Notices" to tax cuts for the rich and famous to degen bond traders and a boom in British manufacturing. What are we bullish and bearish on? What makes She Hul...

We're back live with Episode 84 of Booze, Booms and Busts. Here today to discuss the extraordinary autocratic moves of (former) Prime Minister of Australia, Scott Morrison, why defecting from your country during a Commonwealth Games could be a good idea and why the Dutch decided (on their own of course) that arresting a Tornado Cash developer was the right thing to do! So much to talk about, so gr...

What happens if you merge a 6'7" Barron with a Clinton dynasty great hope? A purple child? Or the future of homeownership from millennials as the great boomer wealth transfer takes place? Why would you save in Istanbul when you can just "crypto"? And if Tom Cruise is so short, then why does Rishi need to zipline into No.10? Some of the hardest hitting questions are on the table today, such as what...

Why is Elon doing Twitter like that? Why are airplanes about to fall out of the sky? How does one decide which bumbling fool is best to replace the bumbling fool? Why is Germany so fu****? How does this all play out in the market? As usual, a lot to cover, so little time, so many beers to consume along the way. In this sweltering episode of Booze, Booms & Busts we cover it all (and more!) Grab...

We're back after an extended period away and we don't mess about getting straight into the conversation. NFTs, why does the world still have a hard on for NFTs? What makes Top Gun the best movie of all time? Iran? How does the world's thinnest watch represent a trend that continues to linger around? And why does Boaz have the WuFlu? All this and more in Episode 81 of Booze, Booms & Busts

Contrary to popular belief, we weren't cancelled...and we are BACK with everything Boozy, Boomy and Busty! From the increasingly likelihood of talking about Hitler to Goon bag at the races and chilly Aberdeen nights and even how a $60 billion market failure could end up as the best thing that ever happened to the crypto markets. So much to catch up on, so much to dissect. We're here for episode 80...

Episode 79 of Booze, Booms and Busts comes with a competition. Correctly identify a person in a clip we have and you go into the running to win a case of beer. Aside from giveaways, we discuss...Netflix and their crappy content, saying "thanks" to the bedroom ceiling, what it must be like to be Musk and of course, sending scam NFTs to Hitler. So much to cover, so many beers to drink (specially now...

When is a horse race not a horse race? When is it not a sport? If a horse loses its nuts, can it still race? Yes, but can it stud? No. So what happens if you forcibly remove the testicles from a bull? More specifically a bull, modelled on the Wall St. bull for a crowd of bitcoin bros? So much to talk about today, so much to cover, plus a few beers to drink (for half of us at least!). Episode 78 of...

Our irregular publishing schedule continues with Episode 77. When you look to the stars, what do you see? We see...confusion, but opportunity and ways to track, trace and make moves in the market. Astrology, dismiss it at your own peril, watch it at your own peril and think about all the people queuing up to get their hands on a planetary Swatch. Confused? Good. It's deep, meaningful and philosoph...

Due to scheduling and technical issues we're a little late with episode 76...but it's well worth the wait. Question, if you had a couple billion lying around would you, a) buy a missile infused megayacht from a Russian dictator, b) buy the Chelsea football club, c) dump it all into an anonoymous fund to buy whatever Jeff wanted? The hard hitting questions on this week's episode 76 of Booze, Booms...

Are we living in the 70s or is this history on repeat? Feels like there's some weirdly similar themes popping up now around energy independence, nuclear armourment, the threat of imminent invasion, space race, all on the backdrop of a commodities market trading like crypto. So. Much. Fun! There's a lot to unpack this week as well as (at least one of us) smashing a couple of beers as we pick apart...

We're back with episode 74 as WAR kicks off in the Ukraine thanks to Vlad's army and their...aim...to...do what exactly? What is the end game there? How should we be viewing the actions of Russia? Is Ukraine as clean as the media might have you suspect? And while the world financially strangles Russia what of their innocent citizens? No one wins here, only pain on both sides. So what next? How do...

We're back after a minor extended absence with episode 73, where we look at all tings market relat..... Actually to be honest there's very little market related this week. Why? Dunno really, but we just never managed to get there. Dragged down by royal scandal, Putin's watch collection and what would be our first Executive Orders as President, it just never became about the market. So...enjoy, gra...

In the latest episode of Booze, Booms & Busts we explore the dystopian future of metaverses, who might use them, how they might use them and whether this is a sorry and sad state of affairs or really just an evolution the madness of mania sweeping across the world right now...whilst speaking about mania we also dive into NFTville looking at NFTs, our view on the NFT market (hype or hope) and t...

We're back for episode 71 of Booze, Booms & Busts where this week we actually talk about the markets with real insight into WTF is going on in tech, the infamous ARKK ETF, crypto, metaverses and "tomorrow's iBeer." Lots of ground to cover with the market in a spin, stocks and crypto getting smashed, where to look and what to do for investment and of course all washed down with a few nice brews...

Episode 70 coming to you from the year 2022...or 2019 where the uber-elites have time travelled to live out their glory days. Either way, whatever multiverse you're in, this week is less about markets and more about the absurdity of our existence. Wanna know how absurd? Just cast your eye to the Novak Djokovic sage playing out in Australia right now. Wild. To hear more on that, a $3.5 million Poké...

It's our first episode for 2022 – and what better way to kick off the new year than with a quite sobering edition... Nah, it's not all bad news, there's a lot to be excited about like Melania's choice for Solana, who would make a great Satoshi, the impossible choices of authoritarian regime, shitcoin pitch wars and why Apple at $3 trillion isn't all that crazy! And of course we neck a few tinnies....

It's the final Booze, Booms and Busts for 2021. Or is it 2020? What day of the week is it again? Anyway, it is Hogmanay and it's time for a few brews with friends (yes that includes you) to chat about the good, bad, ugly and fashions that may or may not repeat in the decade. We promise we're not already drunk and promise that episode 68 (one more to go...) of Booze, Booms and Busts is as entertain...

We've been away a while, not the Rona, but just cos we got sick (well Sam did at least), Boaz was away...and enough excuses...we're back! Back with "The Rona" with meme stocks, Robinhood's stock price. the Guinness challenge. locking down, John Unit, booze, Xmas, you name it we're all over it this week! We're in top form and hopefully you are too. Strap in cos Booms, Booms and Busts episode 67 is...

Do you eat meat? Should you eat meat? Should you eat beyond meat? Impossible food? Should you just drink beer? In an unexpectedly culinary episode we look at all these things and more such as, did Coffin Finance predict their own demise? Is Facebook to Meta a genius move or a disaster? We find our way to the number go up forever market, Krispe Kreme and our most popular segment yet, "Shill me a Sh...

You read that title right. What else did you expect? When we've had a unexpected break in schedule we only come back with a BANG, figuratively of course. But this week we're firing on all cylinders, talking inflation, the bullshit that is COP26, a great piece on the Aussie property market and some interesting "pitch me" ideas for teh recently listed tokens on coinmarketcap. It's exciting, offensiv...

This is gunna sound bad...so Hitler... It's a soundbite that shall reverberate around the podcast scene for some time. But seriously, why is Tesla a $1 trillion company? Why does this make Shiba Inu now the biggest "dog coin"? Can you sell me on the next big Inu? So much wow, so much beer... Join us for all this and more in episode 64 of Booze, Booms & Busts!
