What else is there to talk about this week? We go in-depth on the GameStop insanity of the past couple weeks. Some questions we answer:

- How did this happen in the first place?

- Why did Robinhood restrict trading certain stocks, including GME?

- Does GameStop have a future? And perhaps more importantly, what do Robinhood and WSB's futures look like? Is WallStreetBets America's newest hedge fund?

- Finally Todd shows us a few stocks he would buy and hold for the next 10 years.
