    This is a classic episode from back when we had no listeners. Today, Joe and Tom speak to an estate agent. His name is James and his worst viewing involves someone falling into a pond.

  • About Financial Traders: Extreme wealth, greed and depression. Welcome to the trading game.

    Come and see us at the Clapham Grand on Tuesday 16th April: https://dice.fm/event/qlmnx-joe-marler-presents-things-people-did-16th-apr-the-clapham-grand-london-tickets?lng=en

    Our guest this week is Gary, who used to be Citi Bank's most profitable trader in the world back in 2011. He tells Joe and Tom all about how the trading floor works, and if it is actually anything like The Wolf of Wall Street. He also explains how he used to move millions of dollars around like it was a game, the toxic masculinity he experienced and how he eventually walked away from it all due to poor mental health. His story is pretty incredible, and you can buy his book 'The Trading Game' here: https://www.waterstones.com/book/the-trading-game/gary-stevenson/9780241636602

  • About Chimney Sweeps: 'The awkward things you find up people's fireplaces'

    Come and see us at the Clapham Grand next Tuesday 19th March! https://dice.fm/partner/dice/event/8lwe7-joe-marler-presents-things-people-did-19th-mar-the-clapham-grand-london-tickets?dice_id=1771574

    Our guest this is week is Josh, and he might actually be our favourite guest ever. Think modern day Dick Van Dyke, but way better. He tells us all about being a modern chimney sweep, including finding skeletons in the houses of parliament, being invited to random weddings because chimney sweeps are good luck, and a phenomenal story about the time he found some 'romantic' letters up a chimney, from a wife who was having an affair. This episode really has everything.
