And who better to guide us through the highs, lows, and absolute insanity of the late ‘90s and early 2000s than Barstool’s very own @LargeBarstool? 🔹 History, Lore, and Scandals Large shares firsthand stories from his time as a trader, painting a picture of a financial world fueled by high stakes, even higher egos, and legendary blow-ups. From the dot-com bubble to Enron’s implosion, the guys break down some of Wall Street’s most infamous moments. 🔹 The Wild Side of Wall Street It wasn’t all about stocks and IPOs—Wall Street had its own culture of excess.

This episode has you covered. 🔹 The Food Scene of Finance Bros From old-school chophouses to legendary delis where deals were inked on the back of napkins, we explore the culinary institutions that fueled the bulls and bears of New York City. Plus, Large reveals his go-to power lunch spots that are still standing today. 🏛️💸 From the greed-fueled ‘90s to the Great Recession’s fallout, this episode is a deep dive into Wall Street’s most notorious era—through the eyes of someone who lived it. 🎙️ Getting Cultured To close things out, @DonnieDoesWorld and @UncleChaps bring back Getting Cultured, answering travel questions and diving into some of the more questionable financial customs around the world.
