EUROPE SCROUNGES FOR FUNDS AMID RUSSIAN ASSET DISPUTES Colleague Michael Bernstam. The UK threatens to seize proceeds from the sale of Chelsea FC for Ukraine aid, while the EU struggles to finance a $135 billion shortfall for Kyiv. European leaders propose leveraging frozen Russian assets for loans, but financial markets remain skeptical of the EU's ability to guarantee such debt. NUMBER 15 1963
SHOW 12-18-25 THE SHOW BEGINS IN DOUBTS ABOUT THE POTUS AT YEAR'S END... 1951 BALD EAGLE ALASKA CRUNCH EU SUMMIT DISCUSSES USING FROZEN RUSSIAN ASSETS FOR UKRAINE Colleague Anatol Lieven. The European Union is internally divided over seizing frozen Russian assets to fund Ukraine's war effort and reconstruction, a move requiring rule changes that some members resist. While the US proposes using these funds for post-war rebuilding, current plans risk spending the capital on immediate warfare, potentially undermining international financial trust. NUMBER 1 NATO AND EU SEEK DEFENSE FUNDS AMID FEARS OF RUSSIAN AGGRESSION Colleague Anatol Lieven. European nations like Finland are demanding funds to counter perceived Russian threats, despite a lack of historical aggression toward them. Lieven argues that plans to spend billions on tanks are misguided, as the Ukraine war demonstrates that expensive armor is easily destroyed by cheaper drones and defensive lines. NUMBER 2 CALIFORNIA JOB LOSSES AND CHINA'S ECONOMIC SLOWDOWN AMID RETAIL SEASON Colleague Chris Riegel. California's new wage mandates have triggered significant job losses in the fast-food sector, forcing operators to move to lower-tax states. Internationally, while China boasts of leads in AI and EVs, these sectors rely on unsustainable subsidies, masking a deep consumer recession and deflation in the property market. NUMBER 3 SPAIN'S GOVERNMENT MAINTAINS TIES WITH VENEZUELA DESPITE OPPOSITION Colleague Mary Anastasia O'Grady. The Spanish government under Pedro Sanchez maintains ideological and economic alliances with the Maduro regime, prioritizing political agendas over democratic ideals. Opposition figure Cayetana Alvarez de Toledo accuses former Prime Minister Zapatero of acting as an international agent for Maduro, facilitating the dictatorship's survival despite mass migration. NUMBER 4 CHINA'S SURREPTITIOUS SUPPORT KEEPS THE MADURO REGIME AFLOAT Colleague Professor Evan Ellis. China sustains the Maduro regime through loans, surveillance technology, and military equipment while bypassing sanctions to import Venezuelan oil. The state oil company, PDVSA, collapsed due to the purging of technical experts and lack of investment, forcing Venezuela to rely on Iranian engineers to maintain minimal production. NUMBER 5 VENEZUELA'S TRAGIC DECLINE FROM PROSPERITY TO AUTHORITARIANISM Colleague Professor Evan Ellis. Historical imagery reveals Venezuela's transformation from a prosperous, modern nation in the 1950s to a ruined state today. Deep inequality and corruption in the pre-Chavez era alienated the poor, allowing Hugo Chavez to capitalize on their frustration and dismantle the free market system, leading to the current crisis. NUMBER 6 ELECTIONS IN CHILE, PERU, AND HONDURAS SIGNAL REGIONAL SHIFTS Colleague Professor Evan Ellis. In Chile, José Antonio Kast's rise reflects a rejection of progressive policies and crime, favoring order and investment. Meanwhile, Peru faces political fragmentation and violence, Honduras struggles with electoral disputes, and Costa Rica appears poised to elect a pro-US candidate who aims to limit Chinese influence. NUMBER 7 ARGENTINA'S CREDIT RATING RISES AS BRAZIL FACES POLITICAL POLARIZATION Colleague Professor Evan Ellis. S&P upgraded Argentina's credit rating following Javier Milei's austerity measures, which have stabilized the currency and reduced inflation despite social costs. In Brazil, the reduction of Jair Bolsonaro's prison sentence and his son Flavio's candidacy signal a continued, polarized struggle against Lula da Silva's agenda for the 2026 election. NUMBER 8 ROMAN KINGSHIP: FROM CITIZEN SELECTION TO THE IDEAL OF SERVICE Colleague Professor Edward J. Watts. Early Roman kings were selected by citizens based on merit rather than heredity, but figures like Servius Tullius began bypassing this consent. Conversely, Cincinnatus exemplifies the Roman ideal of service; he accepted absolute dictatorial power to save the state during a crisis, then immediately resigned to return to his farm. NUMBER 9 APPIUS CLAUDIUS CAECUS: INFRASTRUCTURE AND POLITICAL GENIUS Colleague Professor Edward J. Watts. Appius Claudius Caecus transformed the Roman censorship office into a power base by building the Appian Way and appointing wealthy Italians to the Senate. As a blind elder statesman, he shamed the Senate into rejecting peace with Pyrrhus, insisting Rome must fight to maintain its dominance and ancestral legacy. NUMBER 10 ROME VS. CARTHAGE: DESTINY, TRAGEDY, AND THE CONSENSUS FOR WAR Colleague Professor Edward J. Watts. The conflict between Rome and Carthage is symbolized by the tragedy of Dido, representing the incompatibility of their powers. Despite Hannibal's devastating victories, the Roman Republic prevailed through a political system that prioritized consensus and collective sacrifice, allowing them to endure immense losses without surrendering. NUMBER 11 THE GRACCHI BROTHERS AND THE RISE OF POLITICAL VIOLENCE IN ROME Colleague Professor Edward J. Watts. The Gracchi brothers introduced political violence to Rome, with Tiberius using populism to revive his career and Gaius acting as a true believer in reform. Their assassinations by the Senate marked a departure from peaceful republican norms, as the elite used violence to protect entrenched economic inequality. NUMBER 12 DISCOVERY OF GIANT RADIO GALAXIES AND SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLES Colleague Dr. Sabayashi Pal. Astronomers have discovered 53 giant radio galaxies, some 75 times larger than the Milky Way, powered by active supermassive black holes emitting radio jets. These ancient objects offer insights into galactic evolution, contrasting sharply with the Milky Way's smaller, dormant black hole that allows life to exist safely. NUMBER 13 INVESTING IN HUMAN INTELLECT OVER ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE Colleague Dr. Sabayashi Pal. Given an unlimited budget, Dr. Pal would prioritize human resource development over new telescopes, proposing a space study institute in Africa to train experts. He argues that while AI is a useful tool, education is essential for humans to interpret data and appreciate the machinery rather than being replaced by it. NUMBER 14 EUROPE SCROUNGES FOR FUNDS AMID RUSSIAN ASSET DISPUTES Colleague Michael Bernstam. The UK threatens to seize proceeds from the sale of Chelsea FC for Ukraine aid, while the EU struggles to finance a $135 billion shortfall for Kyiv. European leaders propose leveraging frozen Russian assets for loans, but financial markets remain skeptical of the EU's ability to guarantee such debt. NUMBER 15 CONGRESSIONAL SPENDING AND THE REVERSE MIDAS TOUCH Colleagues Dave Hebert and Peter Earle. Hebert and Earle argue that Congressional spending exacerbates problems in education and healthcare by subsidizing demand while restricting supply through regulations. They contend politicians prefer "showy" supply-side interventions, like drug busts, over effective policies because the politics of appearing effective outweigh the economics of actual affordability. NUMBER 16
Meeds is joined by Babs to discuss the weeks happenings at Chelsea FC. Chelsea had to arrest their slump in form and they managed to do so with a relatively comfortable win against Everton and then followed it up by a pretty drab performance against Cardiff in the quarter finals of the Carabao Cup.

Not pretty… but we're in the semis. Chelsea made it hard work at Cardiff with the B-Team out, looked shaky when they levelled, and for a moment it felt like last week all over again. Then Neto and Garnacho showed up and reminded everyone what actual quality looks like. We get into the drop-off after the first 15/16 players, who's just not at the level, and why the rotation is starting to feel like a risk rather than a strength. Plus props for Caicedo doing Caicedo things, and another good night for André Santos. And yeah — Maresca's pressers. What's going on? Who's he clashing with? And is any of this messing with team selection?

Maresca is a big baby. Dan and Jay aren't sympathetic.
Not a game that'll live long in the memory… but we'll take it. Chelsea 2-0 Everton wasn't a classic but after the last few weeks it was exactly what the doctor ordered. Palmer's back, Palmer's scored, and for a brief moment everything felt normal again. We chat through the big bits: Gusto popping up with another one (London buses and all that), why the Fofana–Chalobah partnership is starting to feel like an actual foundation, and Maresca having a bit of a wobble in the post-match press conference. Then it's on to Cardiff in the League Cup — the Kellyman subplot, the danger of a lower-league scrap if we start slow, and the expectation of a heavily rotated XI.

A game that Dan and Jay want to forget.
Four games, no wins, and you're left wondering how we've managed to drain all the momentum out of our own season. Chris and Joe break down a night where Chelsea were passive, slow out the blocks again, and never once went for Atalanta's throat — even at 1–0 up and seemingly in control. We get into the patterns creeping back in: sluggish starts, no punch after conceding, and a team that looks comfortable only when the wind's blowing our way. Enzo's legs, Pedro's hold-up play, and Badiashile and Gittens showing exactly how big the quality drop-off is from the first XI. Then it's Maresca. The subs, the constant reshuffling at centre-back, full-backs playing midfield, Tosin reappearing from nowhere, and that uncomfortable feeling of not quite knowing if he's the guy — even after Barcelona. Plus a look ahead to Everton and a December run that could get ugly fast if this wobble isn't snapped. Voicenotes on all that and more. — Support the Show — See more of the show on Instagram Get a Chelsea poster from Graficona And write us a 5 star podcast review — Meet the Hosts — Chris Sheen and Joe Kevin are lifelong Chelsea fans who've been going to Stamford Bridge for over 30 years.

Dan and Jay are drunk with disappointment.
Another reality check on the south coast. Chelsea huffed and puffed their way to a 0–0 at Bournemouth — and after that Leeds disaster in midweek, it all feels a bit… stuck. We get into the performance, the lack of reaction, and why December and January always seem to turn us into a different team. From Delap's injury and love of a scrap, to Palmer's return, Tosin being bombed out, and what that clean sheet actually tells us about Fofana, Chalobah and Sanchez, we dig into where this squad really is right now. Then the big question: do Chelsea need a proper number nine to take the next step? We chat strikers not taking enough shots, dream £100m signings, the idea of adding some experience up top, and what a genuine title-winning Chelsea squad would actually look like. Plus a look ahead to Atalanta away and the chance to take control of the Champions League group.

Meeds is joined by Timson and Jerryb to discuss the weeks happenings at Chelsea FC. Chelsea fought hard with 10 men to grab a point off of the league leaders at Stamford Bridge after Caicedo gets himself sent off. Then Chelsea lose 3-1 at Elland Road in what was easily the worst performance of the season. The boys discuss all things Chelsea including: 1-1 Draw vs Arsenal Caicedo's tackling Maresca the two sided coin. 3-1 loss to Leeds Tosin...horrific. Strikers not striking.

From Arsenal pride to Elland Road humiliation in four days. Proper crash back down to earth. In this episode, we pick through that 3–1 defeat at Leeds — from Enzo Maresca's team selection and the cursed centre-back pairing, to a side that looked like it couldn't be bothered from minute one. The 'young team' excuse gets binned as we talk leaders, standards and why some of these lads are on their last warnings. We also get into Maresca's blind spots, the obsession with “red zones”, the ridiculous drop-off from our best XI to the B-team, and what sort of reaction we have to see away at Bournemouth if we're going to trust this project at all.

Ares is recognised as one of the leading global alternative investment managers, investing across credit, real estate, private equity and infrastructure. Listed on the NYSE, it has over 4,000 employees, $595billion in assets* and a substantial geographical footprint. Blair explains the high yielding Ares-managed listed vehicle, ARCC, which as a business development company (BDC) structure must distribute 90% of taxable income and averages 9% of yields*. He discusses how being a public entity gives them a “currency” which is highly valued by employees, and also how it has helped with brand recognition as its growth accelerated. We discuss European capital markets and the structural reliance on bank debt versus private credit (the inverse of arrangements in the US). He explains how it is changing, as well as the current headwinds and opportunities ahead. He discusses why over 1,400 conversations take place in Europe each year, but Ares makes less than 50 loan investments in direct lending, how they are deploying over $100 billion of dry powder firmwide, and the criteria that matter for them. He explains their focus on the middle market, their ownership of sports assets – including a $500 million preferred equity stake in Chelsea FC – and their other media and entertainment investments. Finally, Blair responds to the question around the growth of credit secondaries and continuation vehicles, assessing the motivation behind the growth, and risks associated with the wealth management sector's increasing allocation to this space.

One of those Bridge nights you don't forget in a hurry. Chelsea didn't just beat Barcelona — they bullied them. We get into Cucurella locking down Lamal, Caicedo and Enzo running the game, and Estevão announcing himself on the biggest stage like it's nothing.

Wasn't pretty, wasn't thrilling, but it's exactly the kind of win you want straight after an international break. We chat through the 2–0 at Burnley: slow start, odd-looking XI, then two real moments of quality to get it done. Santos running the game, Pedro Neto everywhere, Delap doing all the hard bits and none of the easy ones, and Tosin still giving everyone mild palpitations. There's talk on three clean sheets in a row, Chelsea maybe – maybe – learning how to manage games, and Maresca's 50th match in charge with the away end properly behind him. And then a look ahead to Barcelona under the lights and Arsenal at the Bridge, with Chelsea quietly putting a little run together while nobody's really talking about us.

Another bipolar Chelsea night in Europe. Chris and Joe get into the tinkering: too many changes, no rhythm, and a centre-back carousel that keeps inviting trouble. Big-picture chat on the Champions League league phase and how this result ramps up the pressure for Barcelona, Atalanta and Napoli.

A proper derby job. Chelsea went to Three Point Lane and looked… mature. Controlled, compact, and nasty in all the right ways. Could've been four or five, but one was enough. Chris and Joe get into the game plan: the set-piece tweaks, Sanchez owning his box, and a back four that finally looked like a unit. Caicedo hunted the opener like a man possessed, Enzo ran the tempo, and João Pedro delivered the moment — plus a handful he'll want back. Spurs were miles off it, but this was about Chelsea acting like a grown-up side in a big game.

Pure carnage at Molineux — all swagger, then squeaky bums. Chelsea blitz to a 3–0 lead with Andrey Santos running the show, Gittens electric with two assists and an outrageous Estevão chip — then spend the second half surviving the storm. Set pieces, long throws, panic in the box… and discipline out the window again with Delap's double yellow. Jorgensen jittery, game management missing, but the Blues scrape through. Attention turns to Spurs: Frank's set-piece threat vs our soft spot, why Santos and Estevão should start, and how Sanchez can help cut the chaos.

Chelsea won, but it wasn't pretty. Liam Delap got a taste of game time for a few minutes. Dan and Jay are worried.
This is the single best episode we have ever done.
Chelsea somehow manage to lose at home to Sunderland. Garnacho scores early, but it's the same old story: no control, no ideas against the low block, and then a joke of a goal to throw it away late. Chris and Joe get into the defending on the winner, the lack of urgency after going ahead, and why Stamford Bridge never feels safe at 1–0. There's talk on Neto not squaring it, João Pedro going missing, Guiu struggling to get a touch, and how much this team clearly needs Cole Palmer. Then it's Wolves in the cup, Spurs on the weekend, and the bigger question: are we actually just in another scrap for top four?

About as close to a perfect Champions League night as you're going to get. Chelsea smash Ajax 5–1, three different teenagers on the scoresheet, and plenty of players rested up too. Chris and Joe take it all in: the early red card and instant opener, Enzo and Estêvão sharing pens like it's five-a-side, Mark G getting off the mark. We get into Estêvão's swagger, Gittens growing in confidence, and why this squad suddenly feels deep instead of thin. There's love for Reggie Walsh - 17 going on 27 - and a bit less love for Tosin after that clumsy penalty. We talk rotation, rest, and why nights like this matter if you're serious about going deep in Europe. Then it's on to Sunderland at the weekend. Are Chelsea finally settling into themselves? Is Marisca quietly cooking? And are we… starting to trust this team again? Voicenotes on all that and more. — Support the Show — See more of the show on Instagram Get a Chelsea poster from Graficona And write us a 5 star podcast review — Meet the Hosts — Chris Sheen and Joe Kevin are lifelong Chelsea fans who've been going to Stamford Bridge for over 30 years.

Dan and Jay go off the rails with innuendo. You've been warned! Also, in your endo!
Chelsea win 3–0 at the City Ground with a big second half performance. This one belonged to Cobham. Reece James, on his 200th appearance, led by example - bombing on, scoring, and setting the tone. And 19-year-old Josh Acheampong marked his first Chelsea goal with a header right in front of the away end. Two of our own, both massive. We get into the injuries, why Josh should keep his place, and the discipline stuff that's still costing us. Clean sheet probably flatters us, but three away and a bit of swagger back. Ajax on Wednesday, Sunderland at the weekend. Momentum time. Voicenotes on all that and more. — Support the Show — See more of the show on Instagram Get a Chelsea poster from Graficona And write us a 5 star podcast review — Meet the Hosts — Chris Sheen and Joe Kevin are lifelong Chelsea fans who've been going to Stamford Bridge for over 30 years.
