Joey: The Up-and-Coming Economist


Kevin O’Neill and Fari Hamzei join the Chief to start off the show discussing oil, football, and monopolies. Then Stocks and Jocks is joined by a very special guest, Joey Gillespie, a young aspiring economist who has some tough questions for Fari and The Chief. Joey wants to know why they love trading, what they would do for the economy if they were president, and how long Patrick Kane’s hot streak will last. In the later hour Joey packs up for school and leaves the Chief with Fari and the new woman in Fari’s life, Alexa (the voice of Amazon’s new Echo home service technology) to discuss the fate of trend brands including Chipotle, Amazon, Netiflix, and Apple.

All businesses have their intrigue, but the inner workings of sports organizations find their way into the public domain frequently. Unless a rant from the Chief spills into Kevin’s segment (not an unusual occurrence), he will highlight some of those sports related business issues; but be advised that those highlights usually come with an opinion.
