Our episode this week kicks off with a great jingle about an upcoming tv show mentioned in today's title! We start off this episode first with the latest in Iran and what's going on with oil. We then get into what's going on with American consumers and what recent data has to say, before talking about the specific impact oil is expecting to have in the near future in Japan. We then talk about upcoming earnings this week and the financial calendar.

For our second half, we come back with our "Trading with Gammastrike" section, and hear about how Dork is crushing things! We then get into audience questions and even get to hear from Ron and his crappy mic, before pivoting to "Stupid Bets"! This and as always, so much more in this week's episode of Vol Stars!

With today's episode being recorded on Memorial Day, we wanted to start off our episode with an important message to honor those who have made the freedoms we have possible. Thank you.

Today's episode largely picks up off of where we've been the past few weeks, looking into what's new in Iran, how oil prices are impacting markets, and of course we need to touch a little on AI as well.

We also take some time this episode to get into discussion about how much everyone is feeling the "pinch" as consumers, and what this speaks to more broadly along with why there seems to be a disconnect in the data.

In the second half of the show we get into trading with Gammastrike, answering listener questions, and we get to "Stupid Bets"!

After last week's delay, we're back on track with episode 32, and shockingly we've got Ron in for the first few minutes! This week we heavily cover the latest in AI leading into NVidia's earnings this week, along with covering Electric Vehicles, and data reports this week.

After the break, we start back with "Trading with Gammastrike", "Audience Questions", and wrap up with "Stupid Bets"!

We had a lot of fun with this episode and hope you'll enjoy it!
