Shaun's back to lead us into becoming millionaires (past performance does not guarantee future results). Learn about trading Bitcoin and hear about how it really is like the wild west of investing. It wouldn't be an appearance by Shaun if tennis wasn't discussed and with the US Open going on with only two big names in the men's draw and the "controversial" return of Maria Sharapova on the women's side, there was a lot to get into. Then briefly and with caution, we talk Michigan as the college football season kicks off.

Debut episode features Sal and Shaun talking mostly about sports and probably losing everyone upfront by spending six minutes on the 2007...uh...2017 Aussie Open Men's Final.
