Listen Later

Every week has a version of events that's easy to find — the headline, the announcement, the opening price. Episode thirty-seven went looking for the version underneath that one.

What does a new Fed chair's first press conference actually signal about rate direction? What happens to the body of a person who loses weight on a GLP-1 drug but stops moving — and what does that mean for tens of millions of prescriptions? How do you destroy "forever chemicals" without adding any chemicals? And what does a mass internet nostalgia trend tell you about the emotional temperature of 2026?

Wake Up Ready covers the Colombia presidential runoff Sunday, Micron earnings Wednesday, Consumer Confidence Thursday, and the May PCE and Q1 GDP final revision Friday — with second-order signals for each.
