Sam Krason is back to discuss the Denver Nuggets game seven. We recorded this episode the day before game 7, so we got to play a fun new game with Sam called: “Schrodinger’s Nuggets” where Sam is our “cat” & will measure alive/dead. Philosophers, delight. Nuggs fans with a heavy heart might just want to bail on the very end of this episode.
We discussed an ebay listing of a highly-coveted consumable — an opened pack of mango Juul pods — the pack has two pods remaining, and is listed at $2,000. This led us to wonder, what would be something you can buy now that the government will make illegal in the future? Essentially, if you were going to buy a pallet of ‘X’ consumable in 2024, and hold it away in storage hoping it appreciates in value, what would you buy?
InTALLerable can be educational too, as the facade of modern money is illustrated through the example of pineapple prices. You know about pineapples, don’t ya? Only one fruit grows from the plant, it requires a large soil area, and it only flowers every few years; surely their $5 price in Connecticut is found through natural market mechanisms.
Sarcasm aside, we had a silly-goose time together on this episode talking about the Mormon church acquiring most of the orange groves in Florida, the struggle of quitting vaping, and we learn that Sam has survived over a week without his wallet, after losing it during Mother’s Day brunch; praise be ApplePay and our digital overlords.
