The Financial Guys: July 16, 2025
In this no-holds-barred episode of The Financial Guys Podcast, Glenn Wiggle and Mike Lomas take listeners on a wild ride through the absurdity of modern politics, government overreach, crime, and the erosion of American values. Mike and Glenn dig into headlines with a heavy dose of sarcasm, frustration, and fiery patriotism.
Who Elects These People?
The show kicks off with a scathing takedown of politicians who don’t understand basic law or logic. From LA city councilmembers asking police to tip off criminals about raids (seriously) to New York’s Kathy Hochul flip-flopping on immigration and sanctuary city policies, the hosts ask a question that many Americans are thinking:
“How can someone this dumb be in charge of anything?”
Crime and Self-Defense: New York vs. Florida
The contrast between states like New York and Florida is a recurring theme. In New York, defending your home could land you in jail. In Florida, law enforcement encourages citizens to protect themselves, offering free shooting lessons to boot.
“Safety works. Florida has a 50-year low on crime. New York? Good luck.”
They recount a recent home invasion in Cheektowaga, NY, and ponder what would happen if the homeowner had used force, concluding that the criminal would likely be treated better than the victim.
Boating, Bureaucracy, and DeSantis
When it comes to overregulation, the hosts go off. New York’s new boating license requirements are mocked as ridiculous, especially for lifelong boaters. Meanwhile, Florida, led by Governor DeSantis, is praised for slashing random boat inspections and prioritizing probable cause over harassment.
“I’ve been boating since I was 8. Now I need a license? Are you out of your mind?”
Welfare Culture and Work Ethic
Another hot topic is the decline in personal responsibility. The hosts blast the welfare system for rewarding laziness and punishing work ethic, calling it “the biggest failure in this country.” They share stories of generational grit, fathers walking from job to job, and contrast that with today’s trend of gaming unemployment benefits.
“Able-bodied people waiting for something to happen is America’s biggest problem.”
Final Thoughts: It’s Time to Fight Back (With Logic)
This episode is a rallying cry for common sense, accountability, and American values. Glenn and Mike may be sarcastic and brutal in their delivery, but their message is crystal clear: We need to stop electing idiots, start enforcing laws, and protect the principles that built this country.
“There’s no prosperity without safety. And no safety without backbone.”
