Episode 167: Elvis Mania

Yesterday marked the 46th anniversary of Elvis Presley’s passing. As part of Elvis Week (or Death Week as Memphians call it), BullCast is paying homage to the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll. Join Katie, Cort, and Cam as they discuss the life of the extraordinary individual. We’ll start the show with the list of Elvis’ greatest live performances. Then, we’ll shake, rattle, and roll into Graceland and the estate of Elvis Presley. Why is there so much drama since Lisa Marie’s passing? Who is Riley Keough and why is she the heiress to the massive estate? And why the heck is Elvis Week such a big deal? Put on your blue suede shoes and tune in to this rockin’ episode as we take a dive into celebrity estate planning and the seemingly immortal Elvis Presley.

Episode 164: The Actors’ Strike

If you’ve watched or read the news lately, you’ve seen numerous strikes happening; most notably from the WGA (writers) and SAG-AFTRA (actors). In the show, we’ll talk about why the strikes are happening, what Hollywood is trying to accomplish, the specific strike rules, and what it means for movie-goers like us. But first, as always, we will start the show with our list of the top shows (and movie) that were impacted by the 2007 writers’ strike. Then, we’ll strike up a conversation about actors – and writers – pushing back against producers. With fears of their likeness being used via AI, as well as demanding fair compensation for the rising tide of streaming-service deals, actors are taking a stand. And while this stand (or strike) is warranted, it does have an impact on those who enjoy going to the movies or watching a show at home. Unlike the actors and writers, don’t miss the show! It’s a good one…

Episode 163: The Great Dave Ramsey Debate

This week, BullCast is tackling a popular yet polarizing topic. We’re bringing back our Great Debate format where we’ll see Katie and Cort giving their hot takes on the financial guru Dave Ramsey. We’ll start the show with our list of the best Foo Fighters songs because, as we all know, Dave Grohl is the best Dave. Then, we’ll sound the debate bell and begin the showdown. We’ll go through the pros and cons of the Dave Ramsey approach, with Katie being against Dave’s teachings and Cort being pro Dave. We’ll cover Ramsey’s focus on debt reduction and the debt snowball, his emphasis on saving, his lack of nuance in investment advice, and much more. While our team is not necessarily against Dave Ramsey, we believe that one size does not fit all, and every individual is different when it comes to financial planning.
