• The Truth About the Housing Market Nobody Wants to Hear | ZFS 75 03.06.2026 1h 22m

  Send us Fan Mail I know you want a crash. I want one too. But I need to tell you the truth about why it is not coming and what is actually going to happen to home prices over the next three to five years. In this episode I walk through three battles destroying housing affordability for everyday Americans right now. The wage battle, where wages have gone up 25% since 2020 but home prices have gone up 52%. The price battle, where median existing home prices are sitting at $414,000 and barely mo...
• Your Net Worth Is Not Your Personal Worth | Zach Foust on Bigg Fella 02.06.2026 1h 5m

  Send us Fan Mail Noah Tanner brought me on Bigg Fella for one of those conversations that just goes everywhere in the best way possible. We started talking about buying your first home in 2026 and ended up deep in self discipline, mental health, disconnecting from screens, and what it actually means to build a life that is worth living. I told him my honest take on homeownership right now. Is it still worth it? Yes. But not for the reasons most people think. We broke down what the housing mar...
• Iran negotiations are done, what's next for America? | ZFS 74 02.06.2026 1h 8m

  Send us Fan Mail I shot this one as an emergency broadcast. Iran has officially backed away from the negotiating table. Their deputy head of central military command said it plainly. Without surrender, war is inevitable. And we are not surrendering. So here we are. On top of that the CEO of Exxon is now calling oil at $150 to $160 a barrel within weeks. We are currently sitting at $91.50 as I shot this. For context we were at $62 to $64 before the Strait shut down on February 28th. Do the mat...
• "We're ALREADY in a recession" | Iran, inflation, & jobs numbers | ZFS 73 01.06.2026 1h 7m

  Send us Fan Mail I just want to know what's actually happening. Not what the headlines say. Not what the stock market says. What is actually happening. The S&P 500 is breaking records every week since March 27th while oil is still up 30% from pre war levels, bond yields are screaming inflation, credit card defaults are climbing, car loans are going 60 and 90 days no payment at record rates, and the housing market is frozen. Those two things cannot both be telling the truth at the same ti...
• What Pakistan Knows About America That Americans Don't | The Honest Middle ft. Zach Foust 27.05.2026 1h 36m

  Send us Fan Mail I got on a call with Ali Sabir from Pakistan for the very first episode of The Honest Middle and honestly one of the best conversations I have had in a long time. Ali lives in a country that feels every move America makes at the fuel pump, at the currency exchange, at the border. The Strait of Hormuz closes and Pakistan pays five to six dollars a gallon on a minimum wage of 120 dollars a month. That is the real cost of American foreign policy and most Americans never think ab...
• Why am I doing this? | ZFS 72 26.05.2026 50m

  Send us Fan Mail I turned on the camera today because I just needed to talk. Sean and Joe aren't here. It's just me and you. I was suicidal at 13. I had ADHD, constant social anxiety, and spent years at the bottom of the totem pole in a private Christian school with 16 kids in my class. I joined the Army to prove I was worth something. I got kicked out of college. I got fired from two jobs. I became a corrections officer in Delaware prisons. And then real estate came along and I got everythin...
• The Third Party Candidate Taking On Big Money in Nebraska | Rick Beard | ZFS 71 26.05.2026 55m

  Send us Fan Mail I sat down with Rick Beard, the third party candidate running for governor of Nebraska, and this conversation opened my eyes to something happening in the middle of America that nobody is covering. Nebraska voters passed cannabis legalization with 71% of the vote. Their own legislature came in and dismantled it. That is not a coincidence. That is lobbying money doing exactly what it was paid to do. Rick is running on the Legal Marijuana Now party ticket with zero PAC money, ...
• Don't be fooled, there is NO peace deal + Thomas Massie LOST | ZFS 70 23.05.2026 1h 34m

  Send us Fan Mail I was in Florence, Kentucky when Thomas Massie lost. I was running an exit poll outside Seabrook Elementary. I watched it happen in real time. And I need to talk about it. The creators who showed up generated 2.2 billion views in six days. We out-viewed the $30 million AIPAC machine on a national scale. But that money was never aimed at the nation. It was aimed directly at 310,000 registered Republicans in that one district. Mailboxes. Home phones. Television sets. Boomers. A...
• Americas Newest Domestic Threat: Podcasters? | Cabin Fever 10 20.05.2026 1h 12m

  Send us Fan Mail Episode ten. And we are apparently on somebody's radar now. The guys break down the White House's brand new 2026 counterterrorism strategy and what it actually says about who the government now considers a threat. Spoiler alert it includes being anti-fascist. From there the conversation goes deep into Kevin O'Leary showing up on Fox News in pink flip flops accusing two grassroots Utah girls of being Chinese Communist Party operatives because they pushed back on his data cent...
• Christianity Was Hijacked | Christian Zionism, The Scofield Bible & The Casino of America | BNB EP 6 ft. Zach Foust 19.05.2026 2h 17m

  Send us Fan Mail Please like and subscribe Bread and Banter on there platforms @breadnbanterpod What if the version of Christianity most Americans grew up with was shaped not by scripture but by a convicted con man with no theological background and a political agenda? In this episode we sit down with Zach Foust, Delaware realtor turned one of the most honest voices on economics, power, and corruption online, to tackle one of the heaviest topics we have ever covered. Christian Zionism. We d...
• Boots on the Fround for Thomas Massie in Ky-04 w/ @James Li | ZFS 68 18.05.2026 55m

  Send us Fan Mail I drove ten hours from Delaware to Florence, Kentucky. No high speed rail. No public transit. Just exit after exit of McDonald's, Exxon, and Subway while billions of dollars flood overseas and our own infrastructure crumbles. I sat down with James Lee, 5149 on all platforms, for a real conversation about what this Massie primary actually means and why both of us felt like we had no choice but to show up. Thomas Massie has a 70 plus percent approval rating. The rest of Congres...
• Current State of US Politics w/ Former Counter Terrorism Joe Kent | ZFS 69 18.05.2026 40m

  Send us Fan Mail Joe Kent resigned from inside the government because he watched it happen in real time. Israeli officials and mega donors like Miriam Adelson bypassed official intelligence channels to feed the president and his inner circle a single message over and over again until US policy changed. Not through force. Through access. Through repetition. Through the echo chamber of think tanks, Fox News pundits, and the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies all saying the same thing at ...
• How to survive a war-time economy (8 easy steps) | ZFS 67 16.05.2026 1h 32m

  Send us Fan Mail Trump just said it himself — he's not thinking about your financial situation. So somebody has to. The war in Iran has gas over $4, car loan delinquencies at an all time high, and median home prices requiring six figures just to qualify. Nobody in Washington is fixing this for you. So let's fix it ourselves. In this episode I'm walking you through 8 steps — surviving, building, and thriving — in a wartime economy. We're breaking down exactly what's happening to your dollar ri...

• This Is How Systems Rot | Cabin Fever 9 12.05.2026 1h 51m

  Send us Fan Mail Cabin Fever is back and we’re all over the place in the best way. We start with a classic “Balloon Boy” throwback and how easy it is for nonsense to hijack the whole news cycle, then jump into real life updates like gardening, chickens, and trying to build actual self reliance skills. From there it gets darker fast. Car theft tech, why everything feels more unstable, and a quick look at a wealth gap chart that honestly feels like a punch in the face. We talk about how the peo...
• The Truth About the Housing Crisis No One Wants to Admit | Cabin Fever 8 11.05.2026 1h 38m

  Send us Fan Mail The housing market is getting harder to navigate, and for many people, it feels nearly impossible to break in. From rising home prices to increasing rent and higher interest rates, affordability is becoming a major issue across the country. First-time homebuyers are relying more than ever on family assistance, while others are being priced out entirely. This conversation breaks down what’s really happening behind the scenes, including why wages aren’t keeping up, how second...
• DEAL in IRAN & Kevin O'Leary's Data Center Backlash | ZFS 65 07.05.2026 1h 5m

  Send us Fan Mail Everyone keeps saying the Iran situation is “cooling off” and the Strait of Hormuz is about to “open back up.” But when you actually look at the data, it doesn’t match the headline. We start with a Chevron CEO warning about real supply stress showing up overseas, then we walk through the market moves around the so called ceasefire and the “deal” rumors. We track the Strait live, look at crude, urea fertilizer, and the 10 year, and then get into the weirdest part: huge crude o...
• ICE Deaths, Citizens United, Epstein, Hasan | Cabin Fever 7 06.05.2026 1h 56m

  Send us Fan Mail We missed a week, so the world did what it always does and cranked the muzzle velocity to 100. We start with life updates (France trip, New York, and a wild story that somehow circles right back to the same conflict you cannot escape). Then Joe takes us through what’s been moving underneath the surface while everyone is distracted. We talk about ICE, why the numbers aren’t getting the attention they should, and the masks and accountability problem. Then we zoom out to the r...
• Iran updates & 3 economic predictions | ZFS 64 04.05.2026 2h 17m

  Send us Fan Mail The stock market is ripping, but the stuff you actually pay for is not. Gas is still up. Crude is still high. Fertilizer is still volatile. And if you’re living in the real economy, none of this feels like a win. We break down what’s happening in Iran right now through the lens that matters: the Strait of Hormuz, the toll booth narrative, and why the “terminated” headline doesn’t match the reality on the ground. We track the ships, the timeline, and the incentives behind the ...
• Federal Reserve Updates, Iran War Impacts, & Investigating the Commerce Secretary | ZFS 63 23.04.2026 1h 31m

  Send us Fan Mail Money is not disappearing overnight, it is losing power right in front of you. A small group is driving most of the market, owning the majority of stocks and making up over half of all consumer spending. At the same time, a large portion of Americans are feeling tighter budgets, higher grocery bills, and less buying power every single month. This is what a k-shaped economy looks like. One side continues to move up while the other gets squeezed. The gap is not staying the sam...
