Feeling anxious about where your money’s going? You’re not alone—and you’re not without a plan. In today’s episode, Joe is joined by OG, Mom’s neighbor Doug, and two sharp minds from the personal finance world: Paula Pant from Afford Anything and Dr. Jordan Grumet from Earn and Invest. Together, they take a deep dive into the many faces of investment risk, from the obvious to the overlooked.

Because when it comes to your financial future, the real danger isn’t just volatility—it’s misunderstanding the terrain.

Whether you're dipping a toe into international markets, piling into real estate, or wondering if your long-term plan can survive a little inflation, this episode will help you better understand the risks that matter—and avoid the ones that don’t.

And of course, the basement wouldn’t be the basement without a few detours—including a surprise milkshake debate and Doug’s trivia segment that takes a sharp left into apple peels, Johnny Appleseed, and questionable coalition logic.

If you’re ready to face the real dangers of investing—and stop fearing the ones that don’t deserve your attention—this episode’s got you covered.
