They also get into Sal's Collective shoes situation that led into an unexpected swinger conversation, the new federal income brackets and what it says about inflation, why owning a home is quietly becoming a luxury not a right, a massive 236-country demographic study showing global fertility has fallen below replacement rate for the first time in 60,000 years, why going to church is the biggest predictor of economic upward mobility, and the guys sharing their personal Caldera Lab favorites. Then they coach live callers submitted through mplivecaller.com.
