The hosts analyze the Fed's press conference, highlighting the downgraded economic growth outlook and increased inflation expectations, partly attributed to tariffs. They then debate Netflix's high-budget movie strategy, noting the success of "The Electric State" despite its high cost and comparing the performance of Netflix originals versus licensed content. Finally, they discuss Brad Jacobs' QXO's acquisition of Beacon Roofing Supply, emphasizing Jacobs' track record of successful roll-ups and the strategic implications of the deal.
