Arby’s Meat Cubes and a Surprisingly Good Reuben
Gene’s genuine, mixed take after an Arby’s run: the new “meat cubes” (half-ounce cubes of meat over potatoes or mac and cheese, about a buck a cube) are “a little overpriced for what it is, but it tastes pretty good.” The real surprise was the Reuben, which he called “way tastier than most fast food” — a solid result for a drive-thru chain.

Dave’s Garage — YouTube Channel
A genuine shout-out from Darren for Dave’s Garage, a YouTube channel run by a former Microsoft engineer credited with inventing Task Manager. Darren watches a couple videos a month and singled out a recent one — a breakdown of how AI coding agents talk to each other, from an actual working developer’s point of view — as “pretty interesting.” Real technical teardown content, not AI-hype commentary.

Gold Goats and Guns (Tom Luongo) — Again
Adam name-checked Tom Luongo’s Gold Goats and Guns again this episode: “Luongo understands this stuff like nobody else does. I’ll have to listen to his latest analysis.” Gold Goats and Guns is Luongo’s newsletter/analysis site, which also puts out podcast-style audio content — so if you prefer listening to reading, that option’s there too. This is the second time in five episodes Adam’s pointed listeners here: on #1900 he cited Luongo specifically for detailed, accurate background on the Iran/petrodollar cash flows behind the sanctions story — the kind of depth he wasn’t finding elsewhere. That’s the track record backing the repeat mention.

Helium Mobile — Cheap Until It Wasn’t
Rob Dew mentioned he was on Helium Mobile paying $15/month — Adam called it “a great mobile network” — but Helium got acquired by Andrew Yang’s Noble Mobile, and Rob’s rate has since climbed to $30/month. Take it as “worth knowing the acquisition happened,” not “go sign up.”

Health Sharing Over Insurance — CrowdHealth via Tina
Adam’s been on health sharing instead of traditional insurance for years — currently Christian Health Ministries, previously Samaritan Ministries. Tina is on CrowdHealth and likes it a lot (though she may age out once she hits Medicare at 65). Adam recalled Samaritan reimbursing 100% of a $10,000 childbirth bill, no insurance-company runaround. His verdict: “I recommend health sharing way more than any type of crappy insurance.” If you’re curious about CrowdHealth specifically, Tina’s happy to answer questions directly.
CrowdHealth’s own site is crowdhealth.com; Christian Health Ministries and Samaritan Ministries also have official sites.

Small Batch Steve’s Taco Seasoning
In the donation segment, Adam thanked producer Small Batch Steve (smallbatchsteve.com) for sending a batch of his seasoning. Adam and Tina tried it on taco meat the night before the show and called it “an outstanding product” — Small Batch Steve has several other seasoning options as well.
