Missouri's candidates are set for the November general election under a redrawn congressional map. But with Kansas City's three districts carved to specifically benefit Republicans, even longtime U.S. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver II faces a tough race.

Tim and May Hindmarsh turn the studio into a highly questionable test kitchen as they taste their way through some of the strangest processed foods currently sitting on grocery store shelves. Dill pickle baked beans? Kansas City barbecue ramen? Dye-free Flamin' Hot Cheetos? Unfortunately, yes. But underneath the chaos is a bigger conversation about what's actually in the food we eat every day. From ultra-processed ingredients and sky-high sodium to artificial dyes, high-fructose corn syrup, and the seed oils hiding in everything from snack foods to cooking sprays, Tim and May take a closer look at how far modern food has drifted from, well…food. They also break down the so-called “Hateful Eight” seed oils, discuss alternatives like extra virgin olive oil, ghee, beef tallow, avocado oil, and butter, and question whether removing a few questionable ingredients really makes processed junk food “healthy.” And because this is BS Free MD, there's also a baseball injury story that will make every man listening instinctively cross his legs. In This Episode The fallout from Tim's now-infamous anti-salad rant A wild taste test featuring dill pickle baked beans, ranch-flavored fries, barbecue ramen, and dye-free Cheetos What ingredient labels reveal about ultra-processed foods Why “healthier” junk food may still just be junk food The surprising amount of sodium, oils, additives, and artificial ingredients hiding in common snacks The “Hateful Eight” seed oils and where they show up in the food supply Olive oil, ghee, beef tallow, avocado oil, butter, and other alternatives discussed by Tim and May How portion sizes can turn occasional treats into everyday staples Why Tim and May argue that the real problem with processed food is the processing itself The grocery-store reality: aisles of packaged foods versus comparatively small sections of whole foods One absolutely brutal baseball injury—and the player who somehow kept playing The Bottom Line Tim and May aren't arguing that one bag of Cheetos is going to ruin your life. Their point is much simpler: foods designed as occasional treats have increasingly become everyday staples. As Tim puts it, the problem isn't necessarily having an unhealthy treat once in a while—it's when “garbage like this” becomes a regular part of the diet. Sometimes the simplest approach is the best one: stop obsessing over which version of processed food is marginally “healthier” and start eating more actual food.

The wake-up calls are rolling in from Kansas City to Mississippi, and then Gary With The Tea delivers the stories everybody's talking about. A certain NFL power couple is making headlines over — of all things — their furniture choices, and the crew has plenty to say about it. Then there's a new celebrity couple alert involving a Hollywood leading man and a British singer that has the internet buzzing after they were spotted together at a theme park. Plus, Gary shares a wild personal story about a woman who tried to run into his house that ends with her upside down in the bushes. The Good, the Bad, and the What the Hell Wednesday segment brings three stories you won't believe: a teenage hero who saved a stranger's life, a fast-food employee who made the dumbest alleged robbery attempt we've ever heard, and a high school football player who had a venomous surprise hiding in his helmet for nearly an hour. And Black Thought calls in with absolute chaos at his house — sheep, monkeys, eagles, and the ice cream man all at the same time.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

95% of people believe they're completely self-aware. Only 10% actually are, and that gap nearly cost this week's guest his business, his family, and his sanity. On this episode of One Part Lion, One Part Lamb, Stephen sits down with Lucas Sherraden, pastor turned real estate leader turned author of The Uncaged Leader, to unpack the hidden programming running underneath every decision we make. Lucas shares the moment his eighth-grade daughter's question exposed what was really driving his near-collapse in 2008, and the framework he now teaches leaders to help them see what they can't see in themselves. Together, they dig into why "the market" is almost never the real problem, how our own preferences quietly make decisions for us before we're even aware of it, and why the question "who must I become" matters more than "what must I do." It's the Lion and Lamb methodology in action: the strength to lead boldly, paired with the humility to actually look inward. In this episode, we unpack: — The Harvard study on self-awareness that should unsettle every leader — The basketball gym moment that changed how Lucas saw his own business — The 5-second formula for practicing the pause before you react — The leadership archetypes keeping high-performers caged — How Lucas took a Kansas City brokerage from #6 to #1 in two years Lucas Sherraden is the author of The Uncaged Leader and a former pastor turned real estate leadership coach.

This morning, the cicadas are loud.They are singing outside as I record this week's episode of A Life That Lets Me Breathe - that unmistakable sound of late summer here in the Midwest.I could go inside and find somewhere quieter. But I don't want to.There is something I love about letting these conversations hold the sounds of the season we're actually living in. The birds. The wind. The cicadas. The imperfect, ordinary life happening around us while we sit together and talk about what it means to be human.I've been noticing how much is changing. Not only in my own life. Almost every conversation I have seems to circle back to the same thing:Something is ending.Something is beginning.And we aren't entirely sure what comes next.For some, it's a relationship. For others, a job. A role. An identity. A way of living that once felt tolerable, but suddenly doesn't anymore.Some people are choosing the change.I'm done with this.I can't carry this anymore.This isn't mine.Others feel as though life is making the choice for them.And then there are those who can't even name what is changing yet. They simply feel it.A restlessness. An anticipation. A strange knowing that something is coming.Maybe you feel it, too.Sometimes we change before our lives do.I think one of the most disorienting parts of transformation is that the change often begins inside of us long before there is evidence of it outside of us.Something shifts. We begin wanting different things.What once felt normal starts feeling uncomfortable. What we once tolerated becomes intolerable. What once seemed impossible begins whispering, maybe.And yet, when we look around, our lives may still look mostly the same.That space can be incredibly unsettling. Our minds want to understand. Where is this going? What am I supposed to do? How will this work? Am I making a terrible mistake?We want the map before we take the first step. But perhaps some seasons aren't asking us for a map. Perhaps they are asking us for self-trust. To listen. To notice what lights us up and what drains the life from us. To recognize what we can no longer pretend not to know.And then to trust that the next step will reveal itself when we need it.What becomes unbearable when we love ourselves more?I've been thinking about this a lot lately:Sometimes the thing that changed isn't the job. Or the relationship. Or the circumstance. We changed.Something we could tolerate for years suddenly becomes unbearable because we have grown in our capacity to love ourselves.And perhaps that discomfort isn't evidence that something has gone wrong.Perhaps it is contrast.It shows us where we have abandoned ourselves. Where we have made ourselves smaller. Where we have stayed because staying was familiar. Where an old role, expectation or identity no longer belongs to the person we are becoming.The things that once taught us how to love ourselves may eventually have to fall away because we learned.And that doesn't always mean leaving everything behind.Sometimes a relationship changes with us. Sometimes a job becomes something different. Sometimes an old dream transforms into a new one.And sometimes, yes, we realize something has reached its ending.We don't always know which it will be while we're standing in the middle of it. That is where trust comes in. Learning to live without the straight line.I don't have answers for this season. I'm living it, too. I'm letting what makes me feel alive guide me. I'm practicing staying in the moment instead of demanding that I know what happens five steps from now.I'm learning that uncertainty doesn't always mean I'm lost.Sometimes uncertainty simply means I have left the old path, and the new one hasn't appeared yet.And maybe we're allowed to stand there for a while. At the edge of the forest. Listening.This morning, as I was thinking about all of this, I opened a voice note and began speaking.I wasn't trying to write anything. But when I finished, I realized a poem had arrived.So I'll leave it here for you, too.The Wild WithinSometimes what you need mostis not more movement.Not force.Not the right answers.Not making sense of it all.Sometimesyou don't want to walkthe straight line - linear,certain,understandable,predictable,sure.Sometimes what you long for mostis a new rhythm.To step outside of time.To flow.A time to honor the uncertainty.To throw caution to the wind.To be brave.To take a new path.To get off the path altogether.To see what waitsbeyond the edge of the forest.To shine brighter.Expand wider.Allow your heart to becomefuller,freer,more alive.There is a callto return to the wild within you.The wild that knows the next step.The wild that has faithand trusts - the process,the moment,your own creative energy.The fire.The power.The wildnessthat knows where it wantsto take you next.Now is not the timeto fear the dark.Not the timeto run from the shadowor hide from change.But to walk toward it.To stand taller within it.And to remember - your ancestors,your angels and guides,Mother Earth herself,and all of the starsare holding you,guiding you,cheering you on - one beautiful,messy,imperfect,uncertain,wild stepat a time.Maybe you don't need to know where the path leads today. Maybe you only need enough courage for the step that is here now.And then another.And another.Until one day you look around and realize that the life outside of you has finally begun to resemble the life that was quietly taking shape within you all along.Keep taking good care of you, my friend.I'll be over here doing the same.With love,ShannonCome gather.

Patrick Mahomes is unlikely to play, and other starters might sit out the preseason opener. But there will be plenty to see and evaluate when the Kansas City Chiefs meet the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday at Arrowhead Stadium.Backup quarterbacks Justin Fields and Garrett Nussmeier figure to get the bulk of the snaps, at least early, and the performances among newcomers at running back and the defensive interior will be among the biggest curiosities.Beat writer Pete Sweeney and columnists Sam McDowell and Vahe Gregorian share what's on their checklists for Saturday on SportsBeat KC, the sports podcast of The Star and KCUR (89.3 FM).Later, I'll share what's on my radar in Kansas City sports this week, including the Royals slugger who tied a team record and a television program that wrapped its loving arms around Kansas City sports in its season debut.SportsBeat KC is the sports podcast of The Kansas City Star and KCUR, hosted by Blair Kerkhoff.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Tuesday. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler open Tuesday's show on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed with a quick recap of Essler's round at TPC Sawgrass, where he parred the famous island green 17th hole, before turning to a Monday betting recap in which the Brewers moneyline fell short again but an over in the Astros game cashed thanks to a three run 10th inning. From there the hosts work through a full Tuesday MLB card. At 3:26 they break down Paul Skenes and the Pittsburgh Pirates visiting Eury Perez and the Miami Marlins, questioning whether Skenes at minus 112 is a gift or a trap given his rough road numbers, and landing on Miami in the first five innings with the under. At 7:14 the focus shifts to Tanner Bibee and the Cleveland Guardians against Drew Anderson and the Detroit Tigers, with rain in the forecast and both hosts wary of laying a price behind Anderson in what could turn into a bullpen day for Detroit. At 11:25 the hosts return to a familiar theme, fading Bryan Woo's brutal road splits as the Seattle Mariners visit Ryan Weathers and the New York Yankees, backing New York in the first five innings. At 14:53 they weigh Dylan Cease's heavy recent workload, including a one hit shutout of Boston, as the Red Sox visit Toronto, with Essler leaning the over and Manji preferring Toronto in the first five given his lack of trust in the Blue Jays offense. At 19:05 the Mets visit the Braves, with Nolan McLean and Martin Perez both trending toward an over, backed by New York's recent history of hammering Perez. At 22:49 the card closes with the Brewers visiting the Padres, where sharp money has pushed the line toward San Diego despite the majority of tickets sitting on Kyle Harrison, leading both hosts to the Padres and the under. The hosts also run through a batch of additional games, including a look at Hunter Brown starting in San Francisco and a Los Angeles Dodgers team total play against Kansas City's Michael Wacha, tying into the ripple effects of the Tarik Skubal trade. At 29:30 the show shifts into its recurring NFL win total series with a full breakdown of the San Francisco 49ers, who sit near nine and a half wins for the coming season. Manji lays out the offseason additions of Mike Evans and Christian Kirk, the return of Deebo Samuel, and last year's plus 66 point differential in a loaded NFC West, while Essler zeroes in on a difficult closing schedule that includes the league's first regular season game in Australia against a Los Angeles Rams team now featuring Myles Garrett after his blockbuster trade away from Cleveland. The two hosts land on opposite sides of the total, with Essler leaning under and Manji taking the over and projecting a ten win season if the roster stays healthy. The episode wraps with best bets from both hosts, Essler backing the Yankees moneyline against Seattle and Manji riding the Dodgers team total over against Kansas City, plus a lighthearted exchange about fantasy football plans for the year. Cash That Ticket airs daily on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed, delivering sharp, matchup by matchup betting analysis across baseball, football, and beyond for listeners chasing an edge on every card. New episodes continue tomorrow with a breakdown of the Kansas City Chiefs win total heading into the AFC West race. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Can Mainline Christianity find its future? In this episode, Loren Richmond Jr. talks with United Methodist scholar Lovett Weems to discuss his new book, An Aura of Hope: United Methodism's Next Chapter in the United States. While the conversation begins with the United Methodist Church's recent disaffiliation, it quickly broadens into a thoughtful exploration of the challenges facing Mainline Christianity as a whole—from shifting demographics and institutional decline to recovering a clear sense of mission. Weems argues that the greatest challenge before the church isn't simply theological disagreement, but a loss of focus. Drawing on John Wesley's theology and decades of church leadership experience, he encourages congregations to rediscover "the people God has given us" and to evaluate every ministry by asking a simple question: "So that...?" What fruit is this producing? How is it helping the church fulfill its mission? Whether you're Methodist or not, this conversation offers practical wisdom for pastors and church leaders wondering what faithful ministry looks like in a rapidly changing world. Together they explore: What the United Methodist disaffiliation teaches the wider church Why churches lose their sense of mission and identity John Wesley's vision for "the people God has given us" Lessons from the Sunday school movement Rural churches, urban growth, and changing demographics Why reaching younger and more diverse communities matters The difference between institutional success and biblical fruitfulness Dr. Lovett H. Weems, Jr., is distinguished professor of church leadership emeritus at Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, DC. He came to Wesley in 2003 as the founding director of the Wesley's Lewis Center for Church Leadership after eighteen years as president of Saint Paul School of Theology in Kansas City. Previously he was a pastor in Mississippi for many years. A native of Mississippi, Dr. Weems is a graduate of Millsaps College; Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University; and Wesley Theological Seminary. He holds honorary degrees from Baker University, Central Methodist University, and Millsaps College. His years in local church ministry in Mississippi were marked by both evangelism and social concerns. His work in Mississippi led distinguished Mississippi writer Willie Morris to describe him as “one of the persons who added much to the growing civility of Mississippi.” He is the author of numerous books including his widely used church leadership text, Church Leadership: Vision, Team, Culture, and Integrity, described by Rosabeth Moss Kanter of Harvard Business School as “an invaluable guide to leadership in the church.” His most recent book is An Aura of Hope: United Methodism's Next Chapter in the United States.

Keith explains why achieving scale rather than simply earning more is the key to long-term financial freedom and how income property uniquely delivers multiple forms of leverage. He breaks down 25 years of inflation data to reveal which everyday costs have most outpaced wages and what that means for the real purchasing power of the dollar. Keith also explains why markets like Memphis—combining strong cash flow fundamentals with a massive new AI infrastructure build-out—are positioned as compelling targets for long-term real estate investors.

This is Get Rich Education. Keith Weinhold 1:49 Welcome to GRE from Livonia, Michigan, to Laconia, New Hampshire, and across 188 nations worldwide. You are listening to Get Rich Education. I'm your host, Keith Weinhold, heading up this slackjaw operation for another wealth-building week. But at least I'm just a slackjaw. If this slackjaw gets lockjaw, it would probably end the show. Now I've got to tell you, when I meet a 25-year-old, I soon tend to learn about their job because it takes a lot of their time, even if I don't ask them about it, and I find out that a 25-year-old is usually an employee of some sort. They're working for somebody else, depending on our conversational flow. I ask that person this question: Have you considered adding scale to your life? And they usually don't know what I mean. I ask that question because, sadly, today it's less common to live an economically vibrant life if you have a quote normal job like a teacher, engineer, retail manager, app developer, or other normal jobs like a firefighter, truck driver, physical therapist, or social media manager, that is not going to lead to an economically vibrant life with options and freedom. I mean, you used to be able to raise a family of four in New York City. That opportunity is just gone for anyone under a certain age. Well, what about say doctors, corporate executives, and attorneys, including some people that might be older than 25. I mean, professions like this can still pay exceptionally well. But even white-collar careers now have AI breathing down their necks. AI is drafting briefs, reading scans, and virtually attending meetings without pretending to enjoy them. Okay, well, what about the outcome for a 25-year-old that's gone along with the somewhat more nascent trend of rising AI sheltered trades like plumbing, electrical, HVAC, welding, carpentry, equipment repair, and these other types of jobs where ChatGPT can't crawl beneath your sink. Look, here's the thing: it doesn't matter whether you wear scrubs, a suit, or a tool belt. Employment has one stubborn limitation: even if you grind hard, even if your body holds up, even if promotions help you climb to the top of the corporate ladder, when you stop working, the income stops. That's the big problem, and yet people keep designing their life this way, employees lack scale. Now, what is scale? Scale is your ability to increase your wealth or income without increasing your personal time and effort at the same rate. Now, employees can find just a little scale. 401k contributions can compound for decades, sometimes with an employer match. Some employees receive stock compensation or bonuses, but employees generally sell one unit at a time. That unit is an hour. They're selling their hours for dollars, and here scale is limited, if not impossible. Real estate investors can stack several forms of scale simultaneously, and remarkably, doing it takes zero certification, zero qualification, no license, and no permission slip from the dean. Keith Weinhold 6:05 The first way real estate investors have scale is through something that you already know so well: real estate pays five ways, leverage appreciation, 10 funded income, loan amortization, tax benefits on the entire asset, and inflation profiting on the bank's loan. Secondly, as a real estate investor, you have scale through operational leverage. Property managers, leasing agents, contractors, lenders, insurers, and software all allow just one investor, you, to control multiple properties. You don't personally collect every rent payment or replace every water heater. I mean, sheesh, that could be a plumbing career with less sleep. And this is all tenant funded. Thirdly, real estate investors have geographic leverage. An individual investor living in Los Angeles can own property in Atlanta, Tulsa, Cleveland, and Belize. Physical location does not limit where your capital works. Your body can only work in one city. Your capital can work the night shift in five. The fourth way real estate investors have scale is with replication. Once you learn how to buy and own one suitable rental, the process can be repeated. You buy, stabilize, finance, rent, and repeat. See, the first property is the hardest, and then your second property does not require learning an entirely new profession. It can be replicated. To review what you've learned so far, those are four dimensions where real estate investors achieve scale through real estate pays five ways: operational leverage, geographic leverage, and replication. Here's the important distinction: employees often mistake earning more with achieving scale. Keith Weinhold 8:16 A surgeon making $900,000 a year earns a nice income, but see that surgeon has limited scale if the income stops when the surgeon stops working. But an investor earning just $150,000 from a portfolio possesses more scale because dozens of tenants, properties, loans, and operating systems continue functioning without your one-for-one labor. That's the distinction. That's why the $150K investor might or might not be living a better life than the 900K surgeon now, but they are set up to live a better life than the surgeon in the future. Now, your employer, the person who hires you, has scale with their many employees. But if you're an employee, you probably don't have scale. You cannot save your way to scale either. That's just stored labor. Savings become scalable only when you convert them into productive assets. Income is how much money comes in. Scale is how little your personal time needs to increase for more money to come in. You can work 20% more hours, but you cannot sustainably work 10 times more hours. Capital can be deployed across 10 assets without requiring 10 times more personal effort. And you know, once I realized this, at a certain point in my life, I was motivated to obtain loans for rental. This helped me scale and own more, replacing my active income with mostly passive income sooner. All right, so what should you do when you have this epiphany? It doesn't mean you should flip over the stupid copier machine as you storm out of work today and announce that you are now a real estate magnet. Not right away, at least employment that can be your launchpad, just like it was for me when I was a humble construction materials inspector for the state DOT. A job does provide you with some benefits like short-term advantages, seed capital, mortgage qualification. Keith Weinhold 10:45 I'm talking about health insurance and some steady cash flow, and even some skills. But the mistake, whether you are aged 25 or 55, is allowing employment to remain the only economic engine for your entire life. Your job can fund your future, but having just one single linear income source that should not be your entire future. But you know, some people just stay on lazy cruise control at a slow speed and let their life unfurl that way. Others, you know, they merely haven't been exposed to thinking this way, and fortunately, now you have been. Really, the bottom line here is that labor won't scale; capital does scale; it compounds, and few, if any, investments offer more dimensions of scale than real estate. And you also get all kinds of other ancillary benefits by gradually tilting away from active income and toward passive income. Because increasingly, when it comes to taxes, you're going to pay lower capital gains tax rates instead of the higher ordinary income rates. The sooner you optimize this and get into as many properties as you can, you're also going to gain the ability to borrow against your assets tax-free, and so much more. Scale or fail-that's the lesson here, and most people fear change. It's why they stay stuck in relationships longer than they should, and why they stay stuck in jobs longer than they should. They keep settling for a B plus life. Don't settle for a B plus life. This is something that NYU professor Susie Welsh talks about: If you have a D life, oh, everything is lousy. You don't live where you want to live. You don't have reliable transportation. You don't have friends, and you're so very motivated to change that. If you have an A plus life, you've got it all. You get to do what you want to do, who you want to do it with, and you're tremendously incentivized to keep that. But having a B plus life like so many do, and being stuck in it, that is the most dangerous place to be. You could tread water for years and stay stuck in a life that you know you're not fully satisfied with, but it isn't so terrible that you feel compelled to change it. So the people that grow wealth know it means that sometimes you have to give up the good to have the great, and the K-shaped economic divergence that we've had in the past five years. This is really bringing things to a head, so get scale. Keith Weinhold 13:43 Scale is the difference between grasping the financial abundance that's available to move you toward that A plus life, or staying on the treadmill, stuck and struggling. Two different people living a B plus life, you know, they have the same starting point, and making a plan is your difference maker. We help you with that here. If you're ready to add real estate scale to your financial life, drop a quick email to GRE Investment Coach Naresh for a complimentary strategy session at Naresh at getricheducation.com. You don't need any qualifications. It can take as little as a 20% down payment on a 200k to 400k rental property, and we have access so that you can buy directly from the builders and get a mortgage rate in the fives. And we are chasing the next hot thing here. Last week we discussed co-living on the show. We waited until that strategy was proven. I like strategies that have had some contact with reality. AI can compose a song, or summarize a meeting, or fabricate a photo of some. Wacky like Abraham Lincoln riding a dolphin, but it still cannot download an affordable bedroom, affordable housing. You're scaling into something sustainable that has a future and can't be easily disrupted by AI. Scale or fail. Stop settling for the B plus life. We can help right now at this moment. Drop a quick email to naresh@getricheducation.com. I should spell that out for you. It's n a r e s h@getricheducation.com. Keith Weinhold 15:36 More straight ahead. I'm Keith Weinhold.

Keith Weinhold 16:13 Let me ask you something: If you've worked hard to build wealth, is your money positioned to actually support your goals? A lot of accredited investors leave capital sitting in cash because it feels safe, but inflation and missed income opportunities can quietly erode its value. Freedom Family Investments offers freedom notes for investors seeking structured income backed by real estate. It's a straightforward approach built on real assets, not speculation. In full disclosure: I'm an investor myself. What I like is that their team walks you through how it all works, so you can decide if it aligns with your portfolio and income goals.

Listen to Get rich education with Keith Weinhold, and don't quit your daydream. Keith Weinhold 17:33 Welcome back to Get Rich Education. I'm your host Keith Weinhold. Having residual income from real estate, it can make you more comfortable for sure, but for me, I like to primarily use it to buy back my time. I'll tell you how I just did this. It's a small thing, a small win. It is time for my car's annual routine maintenance. Boring. I really don't want to lose my time dropping it off at the dealership in the morning and then picking it up again. Those two boring round trips don't add anything to my life. But the dealership had the option of, for just 100 bucks, picking it up for me and dropping it off for me at the end of the day. Oh well, that is an opportunity for me to buy some time, so that's why I did that. Now, when it comes to flying, sometimes I fly coach and sometimes first class. I just booked a flight and I refused to pay six times as much for first class. It just wasn't really worth it this time because the experience isn't that much better, and it sure doesn't save me any time. I tend to do that if the price is just 3x more, so I'll pay to save time, but not always to borrow a wider seat for five hours. And you and I both make hundreds of time versus money decisions every day, most of them small. Keith Weinhold 19:04 With the more residual income you have, you're gonna make better decisions where you can choose the time over the money. One thing's for sure: whatever we're doing with our money, and that is that our dollar does not go as far as it used to. Let's look at inflation during the first 25 years of this century. This is really interesting. We're going to see how the cost of goods and services has changed from 2000 to the end of 2025 on some select categories that you spend on, and then I've got some mind-bending takeaways for you once I describe this chart, and this is the same chart that I sent to you last Thursday. If you are one of my newsletter readers, but I can open up and talk about it more here than I can in the newsletter because I keep that short. Overall inflation is about. 93% during this time period. 93% over these 25 years. Now, here are the items that rose less than that much, meaning that they became then more affordable over this span. What fell the most is the price of televisions down more than 90% in the first 25 years of this century? Toys down 74% Computer software down 73% Cell phones down 44% By the way, this all uses the government's CPI inflation rate, clothing up just one and a half percent, and even though it's up, that's still more affordable because it's up less than the overall 93% CPI inflation rate over this span. Household furnishings up 21% and finally new cars up 26% So all those items became more affordable because they rose less than the general rate of inflation. All right, moving on up. Now we're going to go above the line. Items above the 93% overall inflation rate, food and beverages were up 106% housing up 111% average hourly wages up 131% All right, let's pause. Yes, wages then outpacing 93% inflation. but of course, since that 93% uses the government CPI, well, that's pretty understated. Probably, you know, the true dispersing power of the dollar is probably more than 93% So it's debatable about whether there are real wage gains from 2000 to the end of 2025, medical care services up 147% Next in the category that has become less affordable is childcare, up 159% And as I'm naming these, there are some common threads here where I think you're going to have a few epiphanies when I point them out. College textbooks up 177%. Sheesh, what a scam! College tuition and fees up 197%, and finally the major category that became less affordable here at the top is the worst of all: hospital services. They have soared the most, up over 281% All right, there they are. Keith Weinhold 22:57 And what takeaways do we have here? The items that became less affordable tend to be where the government either provides subsidies or they heavily regulate and mandate the product or service, like education, child care, and medical care. The categories that have become more affordable-that's where there is little or minimal government intervention, like clothing and technology. The lesson is that free market competition kept prices low, and some of these categories that became more affordable-you know-they would have become even more affordable than that if it weren't for profligate dollar printing, sadly, the items that have become less affordable-and this could really upset you-the items whose price increases exceed the overall rate of inflation, like medical care and housing, these are life's necessities. They are not once the stuff you need most got harder to obtain, healthcare is the ultimate example of this. It's sad to say, but you'll either pay the fee or you'll die, and the price reflects this. With hospital services up 281% outpacing the overall rate of inflation by about 3x. Also, items that have become more affordable, they are then generally the more discretionary purchases like furnishings, toys, and televisions. You can live without that stuff. Items that have become less affordable. They also tend to be more in-sourced activity, while those more affordable are outsourced, like to China. If you've noticed the trend, then anything involving people in the United States will be expensive, like child. Care and medical care. It involves people in the United States, and then it just gets more and more expensive. And this is also why service prices increase more and goods prices increase less. People are expensive. Keith Weinhold 25:18 Microchips don't ask for dental insurance, and microchips don't file sexual harassment lawsuits. Overall, inflation was just 2.66% per year during this time period. But when it's compounded for this long, that's how it got to 93% cumulatively. But of course, inflation is higher than this 2.66 rate here in the late 2020s, and inflation is poised to rise even more than the level that it's at now. The war in Iran has pushed up energy prices 24% and these costs seep into almost everything, all right. But you're probably aware of this already, so I'm not going to discuss it much more because I discussed that before, like on episode 606, nearly two months ago when I called it our most important message in years, all right. But few seem to understand that this is just one part of a new inflation triple whammy. First, you've got spiking energy prices, like I mentioned. Second, more U.S. tariffs, and third, you've got mushrooming AI spending, and as a result of all this, this new inflation triple whammy that most people aren't aware of, this has pushed up bond yields to their highest point since 2007, and pressure is mounting for the Fed to jack up rates. Mortgage rates are soaring right along with them, and they are now near 7% Could mortgage rates reach 8% This is a real question now. The bottom line here is that inflation made the dollar lose nearly half its purchasing power in the first quarter century. Real asset owners will win, especially leveraged income property owners. This raises the property's replacement costs, spikes rents, and erodes your mortgage's real burden. Nearly everyone else is going to lose, and I don't want to lose a learning moment for you here. Bond yields-they are closely tied to what future mortgage rates are going to be. It's not about what the Fed does, and this is not as esoteric as some people think. This correlation between inflation, bond yields, and mortgage rates. Bonds pay a fixed interest rate long term. Keith Weinhold 28:01 For example, the 10-year Treasury bond right now pays about 4.7% each year for the next 10 years. That's what that means. Now, would you lock in your investment for 10 years in order to get a 4.7% return? Well, if you were a conservative investor, maybe you would if you knew that inflation was only going to be 2% because then you'd be making about a 2.7% real return on your investment each year risk free. But if you expect inflation was going to be 5% over the next 10 years, oh well, then locking in a return of 4.7% means that you would lose real purchasing power every year. Investors don't want to lose money, so if investors expect that inflation is going to be higher, they will only buy bonds if they're paying higher amounts. And the bond market is telling us that as of today, investors expect at least 4.7% inflation over the next 10 years. If things change and they expect inflation to be higher than that, well, then bond yields will go up. If they expect inflation to decrease, for example, from a recession, bond yields will go down. So therefore, Treasury bonds are a true representation of investor inflation expectations and the movement of that bond yield-that is the number one factor that moves mortgage rates in that same direction. There's your explanation. That wasn't so hard. The market does not believe we're going to escape the Middle East war without substantial inflation or energy supply chain issues. That's what that means. Now, what else is going on in this era is the continuation of a reduction in the volume. Of housing transactions, fewer deals are happening. It had its recent peak of 6 million existing homes changing hands back in 2021. In 2022, it was 5 million, and it's been about 4 million transactions every year since. Now, as far as investor activity, just looking at that, for big investors, activity that's been sideways to a little down these past few years. But let's look at ourselves for smaller investors, mom and pop types, defined as those doing 10 or fewer deals per year, which probably includes you. You know, each of the past three years, activity has been up for smaller investors like you. You have gradually been purchasing more property, and this is as reported by realtor.com. Okay, what are the reasons for this? Keith Weinhold 30:55 Well, back during the pandemic, you had to compete with owner-occupied buyers, that's when open house lines stretch down the block, and today there are fewer bidders in the room, and small investors are buying because builders are buying down your mortgage rate for you. That's another reason, and the source analysis it found that investors are sticking to affordable Midwest and Sun Belt markets that have strong rental demand. In fact, they're buying at least one out of every five homes in Memphis, Kansas City, St. Louis, Birmingham, and Oklahoma City. Real estate providers know that some prospective owner-occupant homeowners and even some investors-they won't buy anything at today's market mortgage rates, even though you and I know that these rates are historically normal. But providers-they need to stay in business. They need to keep turning things over. They need to sell property. They need to keep their people busy. They're not running museums here, so they're making sure that mortgage rate buydowns happen. And one of the most lucrative sources that I know about for investors is Mid South Homebuyers because they have investment property where the numbers work in Tennessee, Arkansas, and Texas with mortgage rates in the fives and a conventional loan with 25% down. A lot of their income properties cost under 200k, and these are quality homes in decent neighborhoods. I've physically walked inside many of them myself, not by drone, not with a virtual tour, not by AI, and not through some glossy brochure with suspiciously perfect lighting. The reason I'm telling you about this now is that this mortgage rate is one part of their limited triple five program. Here's what else we get as investors: a mortgage rate near 5% like I mentioned, and a 5% property management fee for five years. Though leverage has its benefits, if you decide to pay all cash instead, they provide you with the 5% property management for life, even if you finance later. I think they call that their forever five. Frankly, it's just amazing how many investors rave about the quality of their rehabs and say that their property management never seems to mess up in this industry. I mean, that is about as common as a calm political debate, or perhaps an airline actually improving legroom, and I have helped recommend Mid Health Homebuyers to our listeners for over 11 years. I know some followers that have looked at their available properties and scooped up three properties on one phone call. In fact, where they're based and have a lot of their available properties, Memphis. You know, Memphis has a story where I don't know if any other market in America can tell it right now. Do you know what's happening? Memphis is developing into having both the new brains and the brawn behind AI, and you got more smart money moving there now. Memphis is now home to the world's largest AI supercomputer. It's XAI's Colossus. It's now part of SpaceX. It's the biggest single-site AI facility on the entire planet. Anthropic is paying over a billion dollars a month to run Claude on it. Google just signed a deal worth up to 30 billion starting october 1, and I look forward to announcing that I have got a live event that I am co-hosting for you the day before this happens on september 30. Keith Weinhold 34:56 So yes, that's the night before Google's money starts flowing. Into Memphis in one year, XAI became the second largest taxpayer in Memphis after FedEx, and the city has committed 25% of the property tax revenue from those sites to infrastructure in the surrounding neighborhoods. And when you add in FedEx, because Memphis already moves more physical goods than anywhere else in the country, you can see how Memphis is increasingly becoming the brains of the digital economy, while it's already been the brawn of the physical one. In every other market, you know they showcase things like their population growth and the rent-to-price ratios, and those attributes certainly matter, but now the fact that perhaps the biggest infrastructure story in America is happening in the most affordable major cash flow market—I mean, this is something that almost nobody has connected the dots on. So join me and my two co-hosts that lead Mid South Home Buyers. Keith Weinhold 36:01 We're going to discuss market fundamentals, the AI build out, what it means for jobs, rent in neighborhoods over the next decade, and then a heavy live Q and A on Mid South. You're invited to join me. This is happening again on Wednesday, September 30th. It's at 8p.m. Eastern. Yes, you will have me live. Sign up at getricheducation.com/midsouth. It's a special event as Memphis is positioning to become both the brawn and brains of AI and a property provider that already makes a lot of sense for investors.

Munaf Manji talks betting for Monday. Munaf Manji runs the Monday, August 10 edition of Cash That Ticket on his own, with Dave Essler away handling personal matters and expected back Tuesday, when the show will also tackle the next NFL win total as preseason opens this week. Munaf opens with an honest look at a rough recent stretch for baseball wagering, both on the podcast and for his clients on Pregame.com, pointing to Sunday's setback as the latest example. He had backed the Brewers at minus one and a half with Jacob Misiorowski on the mound, only to watch Kody Clemens hit a two run home run that tied the game and forced extra innings. Milwaukee won outright but the run line ticket fell short. Friday's Best Bet podcast fared better, cashing on the Cleveland Guardians moneyline with Parker Messick starting. Munaf also touches on the Dodgers, who snapped a losing streak over the weekend only to fall again on Sunday against the Diamondbacks, where Eduardo Rodriguez worked seven strong innings against a Los Angeles offense he calls shockingly quiet given the roster's talent. From there, Munaf runs his weekly standings check, noting the Rays hold a five and a half game lead over the Yankees in the American League East while the Red Sox slide to seven games back after dropping their weekend series to the Athletics. The White Sox lead the Tigers by three and a half games in the AL Central, and the AL West sits as the league's tightest race, with the Astros up half a game on the Rangers and the Mariners four back in a division where every team carries a negative run differential. In the National League, the Braves hold an eight and a half game lead over the Phillies, the Brewers are up five and a half on the Cubs, and the Dodgers remain seven and a half games clear of the Diamondbacks despite their recent stumble. Munaf then works through five matchups on the Monday card. Sonny Gray and the Red Sox visit Jameson Taillon and the Blue Jays, with Gray's strong road and night splits pushing Munaf toward Boston on the moneyline despite a rocky recent history against this Toronto lineup. Christian Scott and Bryce Elder headline Mets at Braves, where a surging Mets offense and warm, carrying conditions in Atlanta have Munaf leaning to the over. Andrew Painter continues to scuffle for the Phillies against Hunter Dobbins and the Cardinals, and with a bullpen Munaf calls putrid over the last month, he leans to the over, whether through the first five innings or the full game. Logan Henderson gets the assignment for the Brewers against Casey Mize and the Padres, and between Henderson's dominant recent form and a Sunday Night Baseball fade trend that favors Milwaukee, Munaf names this his best bet of the show, the Brewers moneyline at minus 115. Blade Tidwell makes just his second career start for the Giants opposite Hayden Wesneski and the Astros, and rather than lay heavy juice on a shorthanded Houston lineup, Munaf leans to the over. He credits Yordan Alvarez with carrying the top of the Astros order while Jose Altuve works through a down year, with Jeremy Peña, Cam Smith, and Daulton Varsho all contributing. Before wrapping, Munaf previews tonight's marquee pitching matchup, Tarik Skubal for the Dodgers against Noah Cameron and the Royals, calling it the best chance yet for a struggling Los Angeles offense to turn things around given Skubal's strong recent history against Kansas City. Munaf closes with a reminder about the Pregame.com Bulk Dollars promotion, twenty dollars for one hundred Bulk Dollars that can be spent like cash across any best bet package and never expires, even though the promotion window itself closes at midnight tonight. He signs off hoping Dave Essler returns Tuesday and that the next episode arrives with a winning best bet already in hand, wishing listeners good luck with their bets and encouraging them to enjoy the games.
