Best business book you've ever read?

Best economic policy.

For us, it's guac is always extra, which is like no such thing as a free lunch, but your best economic principle.

What's the best restaurant in Chicago?

Who's better, Ditka or God?

Trick question.

Ditka is God.

If you, Austin, were a stock, what would be your three or four letter stock ticker symbol?

What would be my stock ticker symbol?

Triple A. Oh, and one more we were curious about.

If the Fed had a mascot and you can't say bald eagle, what would be the animal representing you?

It's obvious.

Well, if you could just leave our audience with some parting words, we'd love if you could whip up the takeaway about the Fed, the American economy, or yourself.

Austin, it's been a real pleasure and an honor speaking to you.

That's so kind, and it helps Nick and me rest easier at night knowing people like you are overseeing us as the Guardian Batman style.

We'll see you there.

Thank you very much.

This is Nick.

This is Jack.

It's Friday, the real Friday, May 22nd, and today's pod is the best one yet.
