Speaker 6 (0:00) Actually, hilarious videos. Last time we did a hilarious video, they set a trap for us. The team laid the pine straw on the ground and we fell right in. Let's see if we do it again today. I am so excited, Speaker 7 (0:12) Brian, to see what they've put together for us today. I don't know who needs Speaker 6 (0:15) to hear this. No, it's George. Speaker 1 (0:17) Why do you bank on financials and freaking polymarkets and policy instead of just building wealth the right way and investing in good, one-stop mutual funds and interest rates? Speaker 7 (0:29) It's not investing. It's good. Speaker 1 (0:32) Okay. Somebody check George's heart rate. Speaker 7 (0:35) Stupidity. He's getting red. I really wish that Whitney would have been off to the side with her phone filming George actually doing this. Could you imagine how hilarious it would have been to see him recording this video? I'm just hoping the team Speaker 6 (0:47) doesn't ask us to kind of recreate this. George is a happy-go-lucky fun type of guy. And that guy right there, I Speaker 7 (0:53) mean, Speaker 6 (0:54) that's almost like Jack Nicholson in the Shining. Here's... georgie Speaker 7 (0:59) george you look a little unhinged i think that george's anger is well placed because we see so many people hey just so you know guys sports betting now it's not gambling anymore it's investing arbitrage investing arbitrage plays polymarket no those are still speculative they're still gambling they are not investing those two are not equal and when people especially young people today try to justify those as being the same thing They are just flat out wrong. Speaker 6 (1:26) I do get excited, though, because we went through a whole season where we were doing props on about every show we recorded. Maybe the team will show that or not. Speaker 7 (1:35) Happy Halloween! Oh, boy. Speaker 6 (1:37) George is only one degree of separation from props, so maybe it's going to make a comeback, and we can pull out the Batman and Robin. We can pull out the accountant hats. We can pull out the Mario costumes. I mean, when I was a dragon slayer, That would be hilarious. You know, Jon Snow. Speaker 6 (1:57) No, okay. Never mind. Speaker 2 (1:58) Why are we giving seniors discounts? They have all the money. Speaker 2 (2:02) Went to a Golden Corral with my mom and dad. I love Golden Corral. They're 65 plus. They got 20 % off. These people have seven investment properties. They don't need that. They're loaded. And Speaker 1 (2:16) kids eat for free. Speaker 2 (2:17) See, that makes sense to me. You were just born. You don't have any money. You're stupid. You don't eat a lot anyway. I get that. But then all of a sudden you turn 12 and you're paying full price. Where's the justice in that? It should taper off. Middle age should have the Speaker 5 (2:32) discounts. Speaker 2 (2:33) And it gets lower and lower until you turn 65 and you pay full price. You're in the end game now. You should have figured out money by now. Speaker 7 (2:41) See, I disagree. I don't think that it should be middle age that gets the discounts. I think it should be the young folks. I think the folks just coming out, instead of getting the senior citizen discount, You ought to get like the Gen Z discount. I Speaker 6 (2:51) keep trying to convince my family. Every time we're down in Florida, we drive right past on the way to the parks, a Golden Corral. And I'm like, we could do a breakfast buffet and it would crush. And I can't get anybody to sign up. You know, this is the problem. You grow up in my household. Every birthday was at Rhines or Golden Corral. And somehow we can get into adulthood. And your family just doesn't have the same love for it. I just wonder if Speaker 7 (3:16) that's a nostalgia thing. Because I remember being a little kid thinking Chuck E. Cheese had been the greatest thing in the world to ever get to go to. But as an adult, the one time that I went to Chuck E. Cheese as an adult, it was not the same as I remember. I wonder if Golden Corral would be the Speaker 6 (3:27) same Speaker 7 (3:27) for you. Speaker 6 (3:27) When you and I lived in Georgia together, how many all-you-can-eat buffets did we crush? Speaker 7 (3:32) A lot. A whole lot. I mean, Speaker 6 (3:34) there was that Asian buffet that we used to go to that had all the expired Little Debbie cakes that they would set up. Little Speaker 7 (3:41) Swiss Speaker 6 (3:41) cake rolls. And they'd make a little pyramid out of them. So don't sleep on the all-you-can-eat buffets. Hold Speaker 5 (3:46) up. I have something for you to react to. Are you ready? The last time we did a hilarious react video, you guys got really held up. It was this guy side hustling. He was selling snacks out of his backpack. At one point, he was pouring something into Speaker 6 (4:01) a Speaker 5 (4:02) bag of spicy hot Cheetos. Were there Speaker 7 (4:05) people that were like pouring Mountain Dew or pouring some sort of drink into the Cheetos? Did you see that? Was that a thing? Speaker 6 (4:10) I saw that, but I think the top might have been on there. Speaker 5 (4:13) So today... Speaker 6 (4:14) The content team has Speaker 5 (4:15) decided that Speaker 6 (4:16) we Speaker 5 (4:17) are going to react to limes in spicy hot Cheetos. I Speaker 6 (4:22) saw somebody in the comments said this was going to change my life. I Speaker 7 (4:24) don't even like hot Cheetos without lime juice. Speaker 6 (4:30) How much? Look at Tom Cruise shaking it up right here, cocktail style. Is that a Speaker 7 (4:35) cocktail reference? Oh, yeah, Speaker 6 (4:36) it's cocktail. I have hair. Tom Cruise looks at my hair and goes, yeah, he's got it too. Speaker 7 (4:41) Our team doesn't get that rush. Our Speaker 6 (4:42) audience. Speaker 5 (4:42) Okay, so, how much? I don't know how
