28 - The Hormuz Lightning Lane

35 - Grandma's Robot

Episode Record Date - 6/7/2026 We start this week's episode off by getting into Trump and recent tariff discussion, and then got into Bitcoin, Crypto, and how there's certainly some overlap going on with AI! We then talked a lot about how AI may be finally starting to experience some pressure and what a possible bailout could mean! Our second part of the episode gets largely into audience questions, and we're really thankful for how many questions you all are giving us! One major topic we cover is the SpaceX IPO, along with other hotly discussed upcoming IPOs and we wrap the episode up with "Stupid Bets"! Please note that for this episode Gherk was unable to join due to personal matters, so Producer Ron filled in, and we've decided to hold off on answering some of the audience questions for our next episode instead.

34 - Kushner Goes To Pakistan

Episode Record Date - 5/31/2026 Our episode this week kicks off with a great jingle about an upcoming tv show mentioned in today's title! We start off this episode first with the latest in Iran and what's going on with oil. We then get into what's going on with American consumers and what recent data has to say, before talking about the specific impact oil is expecting to have in the near future in Japan. We then talk about upcoming earnings this week and the financial calendar. For our second half, we come back with our "Trading with Gammastrike" section, and hear about how Dork is crushing things! We then get into audience questions and even get to hear from Ron and his crappy mic, before pivoting to "Stupid Bets"! This and as always, so much more in this week's episode of Vol Stars!

33 - Stable Isotope Coin (SIC)

Episode Record Date - 5/25/2026 With today's episode being recorded on Memorial Day, we wanted to start off our episode with an important message to honor those who have made the freedoms we have possible. Thank you. Today's episode largely picks up off of where we've been the past few weeks, looking into what's new in Iran, how oil prices are impacting markets, and of course we need to touch a little on AI as well. We also take some time this episode to get into discussion about how much everyone is feeling the "pinch" as consumers, and what this speaks to more broadly along with why there seems to be a disconnect in the data. In the second half of the show we get into trading with Gammastrike, answering listener questions, and we get to "Stupid Bets"!

32 - Dork's Little Backhand

Episode Record Date - 5/17/2026 After last week's delay, we're back on track with episode 32, and shockingly we've got Ron in for the first few minutes! This week we heavily cover the latest in AI leading into NVidia's earnings this week, along with covering Electric Vehicles, and data reports this week. After the break, we start back with "Trading with Gammastrike", "Audience Questions", and wrap up with "Stupid Bets"! We had a lot of fun with this episode and hope you'll enjoy it!

31 - A Bear in Central Park

Episode Record Date - 5/11/2026 In this week's episode, the gang starts off catching up on the latest in Iran, trying to learn about the Hanta virus, followed by getting into why there seems to be a disconnect between the market and recent data reports. We come back from the break and get into "Trading with Gammastrike", answer listener questions, and conclude with "Stupid Bets"! Make sure to check out the new commercial Producer Ron made too, he worked hard on it and needs encouragement after the verbal thrashing the gang gave him during the question section!
