Live Show

If you couldn’t tell, we’re just different.

The Big Skinny Live hits all the serious stuff — markets, money, the economy — but we don’t take ourselves too seriously. We bring on real pros who know their stuff (and aren’t afraid to say it like it is), but the vibe stays personal, laid back, and totally unfiltered. It’s smart talk without the suits and script. Just honest conversations, sharp insights, and a little sarcasm to keep it real. Catch the latest episodes below.
