In this premiere episode of "The God Hook," host Carol Costello introduces the chilling story of Richard Beasley, infamously known as the Ohio Craigslist Killer. In previously unreleased jailhouse recordings, Beasley portrays himself as a devout Christian, concealing his manipulative and predatory behavior. As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that Beasley's deceitfulness extends beyond the victims he buried in shallow graves.

31. Coachella Economics 18:11

منذ 13 يومًا18:11

18:11

You ever pay for something that felt ridiculous—but you still did it? That’s not a pricing mistake. That’s capitalism at work. From The Masters to Coachella, we unpack how sky-high prices aren’t scams—they’re love letters from the free market saying, “You want this more than your money.” Because when you roll your eyes and still tap your card? That’s not greed. That’s just how value works now. Got questions or think I missed a spot? Drop us an email at soup@soupofwallstreet.com and get in on the conversation!…

30. Why Does Everyone Ignore the Stock Market? 22:55

منذ 27 يومًا22:55

22:55

The market just threw its biggest fit since COVID… and nobody noticed. Restaurants are packed, streets are buzzing, and if you didn’t check your portfolio, you’d never know the S&P was spiraling. Unlike 2020’s synchronized collapse, today’s economic weirdness is a solo act. So while the wealthy lose sleep over red charts, debt-holders might actually benefit. Call it a silent wealth tax, with bonds back in style and international stocks showing up to play. Meanwhile, the average American is more tuned into Taylor Swift than Treasury yields. This isn’t just a blip—it might be the first market-led shift since 2008. The question is: will Wall Street’s mess eventually spill onto Main Street, or are we entering a new kind of economic split-screen? Got questions or think I missed a spot?

29. Money Doesn't Make You Smart: The Gene Hackman Estate Debacle 23:02

منذ 6 weeks23:02

23:02

Rich people aren’t automatically good with money. Even an $80 million fortune can’t save you from poor financial decisions. Gene Hackman’s outdated estate plan just turned into a legal circus, all because no one thought to update the documents since 2005. Many people don’t want to deal with the stress that millions of dollars comes with, and some just delegate those decisions away. Here’s the bottom line: Money ≠ good planning, and your estate plan won’t update itself. Got questions or think I missed a spot?

Most people think wealth means flying private or stacking cash—when really, it’s just not overdrafting your account, putting your money in a 401(k) and forgetting about it until you retire. There are levels to this money game: Normal people “Smart” people Truly rich people Everyone’s playing different games with different rules—and still comparing bank accounts. Want a real flex? Live within your means and stop chasing someone else’s fantasy. Got questions or think I missed a spot? Drop us an email at soup@soupofwallstreet.com and get in on the conversation!…

27. There’s No Such Thing As Passive Income 19:46

منذ 10 weeks19:46

19:46

Most of the ads on social media for ‘building passive income’ are actually very much NOT passive at all. In fact, in the rare occasion where your income is truly passive, you probably had to work for it leading up to it. If you think renting is just throwing money away, think again. While homeowners deal with surprise expenses, market crashes, and “passive” income that’s anything but passive, renters enjoy flexibility and zero repair bills. So who’s really winning there? I also dive into the "usefulness" of tech and the privilege of eating out, plus how social media warps our spending habits. Maybe all you really need is a countryside farm and some WiFi.

Are you dodging investing like an awkward ex? You’re not alone. We unpack why people avoid their money and how bad stereotypes (looking at you, used car salesmen) mess with our decisions. Many say investing is just glorified gambling, but patience, index funds, and basic math say otherwise. If you’re interested in investing but have always wondered how exactly you go about it, this episode’s for you. Get your money right before your accounts end up in the unclaimed property abyss.

A "quick" move turned into a ten-hour disaster—because moving is a nightmare. Meanwhile, rich people like Elon Musk just don’t own a lot of things. Must be nice. Also: why New Year’s resolutions are a joke, why some people chase millions while others won’t move for $100K, and how local businesses quietly make bank while startup bros grind for clout.

With endless demand for guidance, even mediocre advisors thrive—and AI tools aren’t helping the chaos.

Is a Master's in Business Administration even worth it? Is success just society’s way of keeping us busy chasing things that don’t actually make us happy? In this episode, I dig into why money, titles, and early retirement might not be the life goals they’re cracked up to be—and what actually matters instead.

21. Is Trump Actually Gonna Cut Taxes? 26:24

منذ 22 weeks26:24

26:24

The art of political simplicity: apparently, all it takes to win is to promise not to tax tips and overtime—who knew? Not Kamala I guess. Trump’s easy-to-digest tax ideas seem to overshadow Kamala Harris’s more complicated, theoretical proposals. Add in voter confusion about early voting, and voila—election magic. We also poke at the big promises: SALT cap repeal, auto loan deductions, and the fantasy that these policies don’t shift tax burdens. Because "fiscal responsibility" is rebranding the same ideas to sound fresh. Got questions or think we missed a spot? Drop us an email at soup@soupofwallstreet.com and get in on the conversation!…

19:08

Think more is better? Think again, more only makes life more complex. The secret is, how much complexity can you handle? Life’s obsession with piling on possessions, tasks, and digital clutter often leaves us more stressed and less decisive. While we outsource everything and chase convenience, we forget the basics: health and relationships—life’s only non-negotiables. Maybe the key isn’t doing more but closing a few tabs, shedding the extras, and focusing on what actually matters. After all, less isn’t just more—it’s sanity.

Ever wonder if politicians are the ultimate “smart dumb” people? They’ve mastered self-promotion but have a hard time with, you know, actual governing. We’re unpacking the absurdity of voter priorities, then we dive into the weird reality of running cities like NYC—$112 billion budgets with a salary that barely attracts the capable. No wonder the candidates look... familiar. And to cap it off, a look at personal ambition, misguided social media flexes, and the bizarre ways people define “success.” Got questions or think we missed a spot?

In this episode, we break down why these cuts mostly help banks, not you, and why long-term mortgage rates couldn’t care less. We also dive into the government’s headache with rising rates—spoiler: borrowing just got a lot more expensive.

Is success all about hard work, or the circumstances we’re born into? This episode challenges age-old myths. We also take a fun stroll through how acceptable behavior has changed over time—from normal to shocking. Add in a little reflection on how the internet, despite its “limitless” reach, still leaves people unaware and unbothered in their own snug little box, and we've got quite the episode. We also tackle the indecision epidemic and how people just love sticking to their own views, even when they don’t actually know what they want. Enjoy! Got questions or think we missed a spot?

Are you “risk-averse”? Chances are you're not even evaluating risk correctly. We compare daredevil free climbers to your boring daily drive and explain why stuffing cash under the mattress isn’t as safe as you think. Freaked out by bank failures? Relax, your money’s more secure than your panic suggests. We’ll also clear up why investing in stocks isn’t as terrifying as it sounds, and why keeping cash and managing debt might actually save your financial butt.

Thanks, instant gratification and modern tech! We'll also chat about whether people will use their "free time" to be productive or just scroll aimlessly.

In this week’s episode, we unpack the strange history and harsh realities of planning for retirement in an age where Social Security might be a fairy tale.

Social media often gives a distorted view of taxes and wealth, and in this episode of The Soup of Wall Street, we share stories like a high school class that only used Dave Ramsey's pre-recorded lessons, which just goes to show the need for better financial education. We also look at Dave Ramsey's famous seven-step financial plan. From his start in church halls to becoming a popular radio personality, we discuss his methods and whether or not they’re madness. We also talk about the practice of tithing in religious communities and just how huge some of these organizations are. And to cap it all off, the age old phrase…“Kids these days… .” Join us for a discussion on the importance of understanding personal finance and the impact of social media.…

So, you want to become an influencer….how original? Behind the beauty filters and paid sponsorships, most people don’t understand what turning social media into a full-time career actually takes. There’s a reason why mega-influencers like Cristiano Ronaldo and Selena Gomez have millions of followers—and no, it’s not just because they’re rich. Becoming an influencer takes the right combination of content, authenticity, and luck from the algorithm. This week, Soup Martinez and Brodrick Lothringer discuss whether becoming an influencer is even worth it. With thousands of people wanting to be the next TikTok star, the conversation covers what you need to know to get ahead—from finding your niche to creating a content strategy. We can’t promise you a million Instagram followers…but who would even want that?…

Everyone is familiar with the American college experience: parties, dorm rooms, late-night study sessions, and a suffocating amount of student loan debt. Colleges may promise a brighter future, but the amount of former students crying over their loans beg to differ. This week, Soup Martinez and Brodrick Lothringer discuss whether student loan forgiveness is the right solution (spoiler: it’s not) and debate the value that students are receiving from their education. Is the student loan crisis caused by the astronomical price of tuition? The lack of financial literacy? The fact that we allow teenagers to take out $100,000 in loans? Well, it’s not our job to find out. With insights on using personal agency to advance your career and tips to prepare you to enter the workforce, Episode 6 might have you questioning your art degree.…

Ever wondered what it's like to live in a city that's a hotbed for tech jobs, a mecca for outdoor aficionados, and the self-proclaimed "Live Music Capital of the World"? Austin, Texas is under the microscope in today's episode, where we're joined by local, and somewhat reluctant host, Soup – a man who's ready to hoist a "No Vacancy" sign on the city's outskirts. Together, we peel back the hype to reveal the raw reality of a city grappling with growing pains, from the intense summer heat to the pollen that could have you on a first-name basis with your allergist. Soup brings a dose of humor to our conversation, serving up a candid look at the everyday pros and cons of Austin living that guidebooks won't tell you about. While he may not be rolling out the welcome mat for newcomers, he doesn't shy away from the truth about Austin's vibrant culture, the strong job market, and the outdoor lifestyle – including his own battles with the local flora. Whether Austin's siren song has you considering a move, or you're just intrigued by the city's ongoing transformation, this episode promises an authentic snapshot of life in the heart of Texas, with all the quirkiness and charm that locals like Soup experience daily.…

This week, Soup Martinez and Brodrick Lothringer discuss the value of our time, and how convenience and perception can influence our decisions—for better or worse. We take you into the world of Disney, where time becomes its own currency. When you’re flooded with choices, we explain the connections between time, decision-making, and how companies seem to get away with raising their prices. It’s not all about money, either. We factor in the nuanced emotions and judgment that go into making that final call. So, if you're ready to see what your time and money are really worth, tune-in.…

Why do we often regard financial advisors with the same wariness we reserve for telemarketers or politicians? This episode peels back the layers of trust, or the lack thereof, that color our perception of financial advice. We spotlight the critical disconnect between the services we willingly seek from doctors and the skepticism we harbor towards financial advisors, despite both being instrumental in life's crucial decisions. Through personal stories and pointed questions, we explore the importance of seeking advisors who prioritize understanding over selling and who can genuinely relate to your unique financial journey. The value of a financial advisor can't be overstated, especially when it comes to the mathematics of investing for the long haul. This discussion isn't just about the numbers; it's about the human element in financial planning. We dissect the nuanced strategies that can lead to above-average returns and why most individuals might struggle without professional guidance. This episode lays bare the realities of portfolio management, life events, and the critical decisions that shape a secure financial future. We attempt to identify the true worth of a financial advisor—it's not just in the advice they give, but in the understanding and adaptation to your personal narrative.…
