You Gotta Try This

We are both down bad... for two very different reasons. We discuss the ROI of reproducing and the founder of Patagonia, who might be the worst father ever. Plus we get into the market bloodbath and Kanye vs. The GAP. And finally there is an ETF tracking the portfolios of members of Congress.

Scott Melker aka The Wolf of All Streets join us to talk crypto and the ETH merge. He shares his story about going broke (multiple times) trading stocks and forex and how he found his crypto passion. We dive into his long term outlook for bitcoin and Ethereum (spoiler: he's bullish af). And, of course, we force him to give us a few picks for The Family Office portfolio

Intern Ian joins us and almost immediately violates The Family Office's investment guidelines. We discuss Kim Kardashian's new finance job, JUUL's huge settlement, and the Apple event. Plus, we don't see eye to eye on quiet quitting. And Tesla, Apple, and Jake Freeman make this week's watchlist.

We sent Barstool Finance's Intern Ian on a “channel check” to a strip club outside of St. Louis to help us decide if the only publicly traded gentlemen's club is a good investment. Ian shares war stories from a Saturday night he'll never forget. And we make a decision on adding RCI Hospitality to the portfolio in real time.

Davey Day Trader made his triumphant return this week and hit a home run on Lululemon ($LULU) going into earnings. Even though Dave did well this week, The Family Office portfolio couldn't catch a break. We break down our favorite finance movies of all time, and Large has a confession. And naturally, we talk about OnlyFans and the absurd amount of money they've pulled in.

We sat down with a legend of the gentlemen's club business, Eric Langan. He's the founder and CEO of RCI Hospitality Holdings, the only publicly traded strip club company. We discussed the inner workings of gentlemen's clubs, how a strip club survives COVID, and the OnlyFans threat.

Jerome Powell and the rest of the Fed did us dirty this week. Stocks got massacred on Friday following J-Poww's speech from Jackson Hole. Unfortunately for us, we're heading into what is historically the worst month of the year for stonks (September). We pulled the trigger on a new investment thanks to a tip from our most recent interview guest, 'The Godfather of Technical Analysis' Ralph Acampora. Obviously, our watchlist finds its way back to food (Chipotle). And we take a look at how to play the Artemis space program.

The "Godfather of Technical Analysis" Ralph Acampora joins The Family Office. Ralph rates The Family Office portfolio... from a technical perspective, of course. Plus he gives us a stock that he loves after checking the charts. Bonus: Ralph is working on one of the coolest Wall Street related art projects we've ever seen (spoiler: it's not an NFT).

Bed Bath & Beyond dominated the headlines this week. And we broke it all down. From Ryan Cohen, the newest meme stock super villain, to the small $25 million loan Jake Freeman turned into $110 million (00:11:00-00:24:45). Then we get into what happens at the Fed’s annual symposium in Jackson Hole (00:24:46-00:27:39). Our bitcoin trade went off the rails but Large managed to make WD-40 great again (00:27:40-00:39:19). We close out with our watchlist, and more importantly, a stock that will never make the watchlist (spoiler: Occidental Petroleum, a Warren Buffett favorite) (00:39:20-00:54:24).

We explore adding crypto to The Family Office portfolio with Barstool Finance’s intern Ian ‘The P&L Wrecker’ Becker and Brendan ‘Super Producer’ Clancy. Ian drops an outrageous bitcoin target and Brendan walks us through wtf bitcoin winter is and when it might end. We dive into a few of the biggest crypto headlines (Martin Shkreli’s sh*tcoin, Tornado Cash, and metaverse real estate). Ian and Brendan close it out with some crypto picks for The Family Office portfolio.
