No Surrender Podcast is LIVE from the HousingWire Mortgage Banking Summit! 🎙️

We’re sitting down with Mike Kortas of NEXA and getting the latest from HousingWire Chief Economist & Lead Analyst Logan Mohtashami.

Episode 20 is all over the housing map — in the best way.

Greg, Erin and Coby get into Realtors stepping into the loan officer lane, whether retail LOs are becoming an endangered species, and why AI companies might need a lesson in both paying their bills and selling their products.

Plus, the latest on UAD 3.6, GSEs buying more MBS while those LLPA findings remain MIA, whether waiting on a recession to save housing actually makes sense, and the Fed’s latest move in the middle of an energy crisis.

Hot takes. Fierce debates. No Surrender.

Here’s what’s on deck for Episode 19 on the No Surrender Podcast:

• Warsh with another big day. We break it down.
• What America is Googling at 2am
• A $500 watch, a $5000 check and an interest tab that will have our kids working til they’re 90
• AI will end the world (terms and conditions apply)
• Mega lenders and Quiet Failures
• Two scores, One Loan
• Rocket cut in, but was it FHFA’s dance?
• Underwriting since 2008: did we go too far?

All that, and much more, as the most popular show in housing keeps on rollin’.

Surprise guest Vishal Garg joins No Surrender for a candid conversation about what happened at Better, his fight to regain control, what he’d do differently, and where he sees the company—and mortgage technology—going next.

Then Greg, Erin and Coby get into Pulte’s latest LLPA tease, cosplay as Bob Broeksmit’s MBA Annual speechwriters, break down the industry’s readiness for UAD 3.6, look at banks creeping back into mortgage, and reflect on the 25th anniversary of 9/11.

The bond market is big mad, UWM’s fallout keeps getting messier, and the housing industry’s closed-loop race is heating up.

This week on No Surrender, Greg, Erin and Coby break down what the weakening jobs picture could mean for mortgage rates, debate the Wall Street Journal’s take on nonbank FHA lending, and unpack Rocket’s increasingly public push for UWM brokers. Plus: why the industry may have Gen Z homebuyers all wrong, the growing push toward real estate-mortgage-title ecosystems, and whether agents becoming loan officers creates opportunity—or a whole new set of problems.

And, naturally, Greg kicks things off with another "Sher"-nanigan: If you find someone’s wallet, are you looking inside?
