This episode dives into the latest Liability Management Exercise (LME) loopholes shaking up debt markets (2:14), and why the Fifth Circuit’s ruling in Serta is just the beginning of a wild restructuring playbook (5:41). We then break down the endgame for Purdue Pharma and Johnson & Johnson’s talc saga (15:07)—are these settlements real resolutions, or just high-priced damage control?

But that’s not all—are vacations the new luxury investment? (39:22) We analyze why high-net-worth consumers are ditching designer goods for exclusive getaways, and how White Lotus perfectly captures the financial elite’s twisted world (42:05).

Stick around for our most unhinged sponsor ad yet (47:53)—because nothing says financial markets like a totally not addictive 24-hour performance pill from the makers of, well, you already know.
