CAPITAL CALL #11: WHY ICE MIGHT BE THE MOST EXPENSIVE TAX ON YOUR GROCERY BILL

Tariffs are back, inflation is confused, and ICE is raiding your salad. In this week’s episode, we break down why oil prices spiked (hint: Middle East and fund managers panicking), how minimum wage still isn’t the job-killer people tweet about, and why Smoot-Hawley remains undefeated in the “worst economic idea ever” competition.

We also discuss the ICE labor crackdown threatening U.S. agriculture, the ongoing AI comedown (sorry, Adobe), inflation expectations vs reality, and why you can now trade Fartcoin on Coinbase. Plus: This Day in Economic History, featuring child-mailing, ticker tape parades, and government agencies born out of chaos.

CAPITAL CALL #10: TESLA’S OVERPRICED, STELLANTIS IS CHEAP, & THE SEC HAS A BIRTHDAY

Tesla’s still pretending it’s a tech company, Stellantis is still pretending it’s a cool name, and Elon’s reality show got picked up by the White House. We break down whether SpaceX could survive a government “upgrade,” how tariffs are the financial version of playing chicken with yourself, and why Stellantis might just be the least-loved bargain in autos (with Maserati-sized baggage).

Also on deck: the S&P crosses the big 6-handle, oil prices yawn their way higher, and Circle’s IPO drops — because what the stablecoin market needed was more hype. Plus, a surprisingly intelligent discussion on IPO timing, salespeople, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ slow-motion hiring freeze.

CAPITAL CALL #9: NOW WITH 100% MORE STEEL TARIFFS

Kohl’s explodes upward, tariffs implode in court, and crypto takes a turn for the medieval as a self-styled “Bitcoin king” decides kidnapping is a viable portfolio strategy. We break down the chaos in U.S.–China trade talks, including China’s demand for AI chips and America’s new favorite acronym: TACO (Trump Always Chickens Out).

Jamie Dimon goes full gloom-and-doom in a live interview, warning of bond market carnage just weeks after saying everything looked fine, which either means he’s hedging or auditioning for Treasury Secretary. Meanwhile, we explore the math behind steel tariffs (spoiler: you lose 75 jobs for every one saved), why the most American-made car still isn’t really American, and how free trade continues to confuse people with microphones.

CAPITAL CALL #8: BOND YIELDS, NUCLEAR POWER, & THE FUTURAMA FINANCE PLAN

Tariffs are back, baby — this time with a 50% side of Europe and a 25% sprinkle on your smartphone. We break down what that means for your iPhone payments (spoiler: don’t). We also talk about Nippon Steel’s love letter to U.S. Steel, Tesla getting lapped by BYD, and why Deckers somehow still sells Uggs. Drew nerds out over Japanese bond yields and explains how hedge funds pick up nickels in front of steamrollers. Quinn reads a Garfield calendar, and we resurrect John D. Rockefeller to talk dimes, dirty ledgers, and daddy issues. Plus: the White House speeds up nuclear permitting, and we ask the real question—should you bank with Big Apple Bank for the next thousand years like Fry from Futurama?

CAPITAL CALL #4: HOW GREECE SAVED ITSELF BY SCREWING EVERYONE ELSE

This week, Quinn and Drew tackle trade wars, why tariffs age worse than milk, the hidden stupidity behind sales taxes, and the booming business of shipping empty containers across oceans. They dig into SpaceX's money machine, explain why manufacturing didn’t really "die," and marvel at a new $20K EV truck that's basically a grown-up Lego set. Plus: the guy who missed the Titanic because he hated fancy typewriters, Greece’s 1930s currency chaos, and why we're all secretly working for the IRS.

Quinn and Drew, managers of the Woodworth Contrarian Fund, unpack policy chaos, circuit breakers, and why Kohl’s might just be the thrift store Picasso—buried under junk, but worth a second look.
