Your to-do list has a bad houseguest on it, and today is the day it goes. Pat runs your whole list through two questions and cuts everything that can't earn its spot.

Some tasks sit on your list for weeks, quietly draining your brain space. Pat gives you two questions to judge every item: will it make you money in the next 90 days, and can you finish it in the next two weeks? Fail either one and it's gone, with authority. Then Michael the Magnificent joins for a round of Hype or Haze on AI, we try to figure out what's really happening with Iran and the markets, and Netflix quietly rebuilds cable.
