00:12.636 --> 00:15.659
[SPEAKER_01]: If you think about it, books are potential scripts for movies.
00:16.199 --> 00:21.683
[SPEAKER_00]: When this adaptation happens, typically it's disappointing because they went off script.
00:22.364 --> 00:25.886
[SPEAKER_01]: In this series, we will be talking about how off script they went.
00:28.809 --> 00:29.049

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if I did a couple of weeks ago at class, right?
01:58.615 --> 02:01.317
[SPEAKER_00]: One of my kids falls out of his chair.
02:01.617 --> 02:02.258
[SPEAKER_00]: Did I tell you this?

[SPEAKER_00]: No, you did.
02:03.679 --> 02:03.900
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
02:04.500 --> 02:05.721
[SPEAKER_00]: One of my kids falls out of his chair.
02:05.801 --> 02:07.163
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I'm just like, oh my gosh, whatever.
02:07.443 --> 02:11.687
[SPEAKER_00]: because they do this new thing now that this is not the kid that would do this.
02:11.727 --> 02:13.348
[SPEAKER_00]: He he legit fell out of his chair.
02:13.789 --> 02:16.671
[SPEAKER_00]: But uh they do this thing now where they go.
02:17.272 --> 02:23.017
[SPEAKER_00]: But but but bingo or something I think it's bingo or whatever and they just like fall out of their chair.
02:23.257 --> 02:24.498
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's fun.
02:24.518 --> 02:26.180
[SPEAKER_00]: So I've been to time.
02:27.952 --> 02:32.833
[SPEAKER_01]: You can sit in a chair with my chair, but no, this kid legit.
02:32.913 --> 02:34.194
[SPEAKER_00]: He's very sweet kid.
02:34.234 --> 02:34.954
[SPEAKER_00]: He thought I was sure.
02:35.574 --> 02:44.816
[SPEAKER_00]: Total accident, but I'm already having a frustrating afternoon because I, no matter what, after lunch, I'm just, these kids don't start too much.
02:44.836 --> 02:52.878
[SPEAKER_00]: So he comes up to me and he's very sweet and like I know he means well, but the fact that I was on top of everything else
02:56.178 --> 02:58.159
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, what do you mean?
02:58.179 --> 03:02.940
[SPEAKER_00]: He's like, I fell out of my chair and I could have got hurt, aren't you supposed to keep us safe?
03:03.020 --> 03:05.340
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, hold up here.
03:06.481 --> 03:07.421
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not my fault.
03:07.441 --> 03:08.541
[SPEAKER_00]: You fell out of your chair.
03:08.601 --> 03:11.102
[SPEAKER_00]: What am I supposed to do, run over and put a pillow under you?
03:11.442 --> 03:13.243
[SPEAKER_00]: I like, I feel actually really bad.
03:13.323 --> 03:14.403
[SPEAKER_00]: I kind of lost it.
03:14.803 --> 03:20.845
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, you did not just look like, like, looking back on it, it's really hilarious.
03:20.885 --> 03:22.145
[SPEAKER_00]: But in the moment, I was like,
03:22.975 --> 03:25.499
[SPEAKER_00]: What just happened like, what did you just say?
03:25.539 --> 03:27.563
[SPEAKER_00]: Just kid wants me to back in him.
03:28.104 --> 03:31.069
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my god, it was very, it was very,
03:31.882 --> 03:34.644
[SPEAKER_00]: It was very hilarious how that I'm thinking about it.
03:34.984 --> 03:40.828
[SPEAKER_00]: It wasn't really sweet and I'm like, yes, I am here to protect you and I keep you safe.
03:40.968 --> 03:44.290
[SPEAKER_00]: But when you do it on your own, that's what you put in.
03:44.630 --> 03:48.893
[SPEAKER_00]: So I was like, are you, is anything broken?
03:49.013 --> 03:49.713
[SPEAKER_00]: Are you bleeding?
03:49.733 --> 03:50.854
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you need anything for me?
03:50.914 --> 03:52.295
[SPEAKER_00]: He's like, no, I just fell.
03:52.315 --> 03:54.036
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, well, okay, well, don't do that next time.
03:54.656 --> 03:58.419
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, I'm just like, I don't know.
03:58.499 --> 03:59.280
[SPEAKER_01]: That's hilarious.
03:59.840 --> 04:01.121
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, I just thought it was so funny.
04:01.141 --> 04:06.525
[SPEAKER_00]: That's my story to tell this year because it's just like, what just happened?
04:06.565 --> 04:09.408
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, it's not inappropriate, right?
04:09.548 --> 04:12.930
[SPEAKER_00]: I can share it, but it's kind of like a what.
04:13.991 --> 04:14.491
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
04:15.652 --> 04:18.854
[SPEAKER_00]: So there, that's my very quick paint and picture for y'all.
04:18.874 --> 04:25.857
[SPEAKER_00]: That's how my end of year is going in glass children or excuse me of not protecting them when they fall out of their own chairs.
04:26.537 --> 04:28.798
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think it's great.
04:29.239 --> 04:29.859
[SPEAKER_00]: That's good picture.
04:30.399 --> 04:30.639
[SPEAKER_00]: Thanks.
04:31.420 --> 04:32.460
[SPEAKER_00]: Alright, let's keep going.
04:32.480 --> 04:36.202
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's do it as um, I don't think we have any trigger warnings.
04:39.158 --> 04:40.118
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, our synopsis.
04:40.518 --> 04:52.742
[SPEAKER_00]: Amateur investors and internet trolls on the Reddit forum wall street bets used simplified trading platform like Robinhood to drive up the stock for a struggling video game.
04:52.862 --> 05:00.845
[SPEAKER_00]: Real, real, real, real, real, real, real game games games games games games stuff.
05:01.705 --> 05:01.885
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
05:02.758 --> 05:02.978
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep.
05:03.799 --> 05:04.059
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep.
05:04.960 --> 05:10.644
[SPEAKER_00]: Our author is Ben Mezrich, director Craig Gillespie.
05:11.324 --> 05:12.265
[SPEAKER_00]: I would say Julespie.
05:12.866 --> 05:13.066
[SPEAKER_00]: Sure.
05:13.826 --> 05:20.291
[SPEAKER_00]: Scream, play writer, Lauren, sugar, sugar, sugar, sugar.
05:22.812 --> 05:27.033
[SPEAKER_00]: a Lauren Sugar Blum and Rebecca Rebecca and Jello.
05:27.193 --> 05:27.893
[SPEAKER_00]: Isn't that blue?
05:28.414 --> 05:33.015
[SPEAKER_00]: Probably, I guess, if there was an E at the end, I would have said blue, but I could say, oh, maybe.
05:33.255 --> 05:36.536
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought, for some reason, I thought that's how Judy Bloom spelled blue.
05:36.556 --> 05:39.577
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe, probably, I don't know, I don't know, people.
05:39.697 --> 05:41.577
[SPEAKER_01]: OK, that's your name.
05:44.318 --> 05:48.479
[SPEAKER_00]: Our book came out September 7th, 2021, and our movie came out September 8th, 2023.
05:50.720 --> 05:52.241
[SPEAKER_00]: Holy cow, actually.
05:52.421 --> 05:58.606
[SPEAKER_00]: If this all happened in January 2020 or did it happen in 2021?
05:58.846 --> 06:03.710
[SPEAKER_00]: So it happened, and this guy wrote a book about it in months.
06:04.090 --> 06:05.531
[SPEAKER_00]: October, November.
06:05.592 --> 06:10.996
[SPEAKER_00]: No, January, February, February, February, March, April, May, June, July, October.
06:11.836 --> 06:14.779
[SPEAKER_01]: Eight months, that's how it's been seen.
06:14.999 --> 06:18.982
[SPEAKER_01]: And then they made a movie about it almost exactly two years later.
06:19.545 --> 06:19.905
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
06:20.306 --> 06:20.826
[SPEAKER_01]: That's crazy.
06:20.846 --> 06:21.526
[SPEAKER_01]: That's crazy.
06:21.926 --> 06:22.667
[SPEAKER_01]: That's crazy.
06:22.907 --> 06:24.408
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so 27th September 8th.
06:24.628 --> 06:25.269
[SPEAKER_00]: That's wild.
06:25.429 --> 06:26.069
[SPEAKER_00]: Mm-hmm.
06:26.089 --> 06:27.090
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
06:28.611 --> 06:31.232
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, what did we do first?
06:31.252 --> 06:33.313
[SPEAKER_01]: I saw the movie first.
06:33.353 --> 06:33.834
[SPEAKER_01]: You read it.
06:33.854 --> 06:33.954
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
06:33.994 --> 06:34.334
[SPEAKER_01]: You did.
06:36.415 --> 06:36.815
[SPEAKER_01]: You did.
06:37.436 --> 06:37.796
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
06:37.856 --> 06:38.076
[SPEAKER_01]: Good.
06:38.096 --> 06:41.098
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, no.
06:42.559 --> 06:45.561
[SPEAKER_01]: Ah, what are our thoughts?
06:45.581 --> 06:47.322
[SPEAKER_01]: I had high hopes.
06:49.728 --> 06:53.891
[SPEAKER_01]: because I really liked the social network.
06:55.272 --> 06:57.713
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, and this wasn't quite like that.
06:57.973 --> 06:59.715
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, not for me, at least.
06:59.775 --> 07:03.397
[SPEAKER_00]: Bookwise, movie wise, kind of both wise, or just in general wise.
07:04.017 --> 07:07.299
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like if I say which wise, it'll give away which one.
07:07.940 --> 07:08.901
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm not gonna say.
07:09.501 --> 07:09.721
[SPEAKER_00]: Fair.
07:10.922 --> 07:12.283
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I...
07:13.535 --> 07:14.375
[SPEAKER_00]: don't know why.
07:14.455 --> 07:38.906
[SPEAKER_00]: I think I found it kind of fascinating because of the same reason because I found yeah that I found a social network fascinating because it's like that really happened and it happened in my lifetime so I was gonna say and at a time where you were aware of it too yes I actually was not okay so this was you know two three months after Cameron passed away so
07:41.847 --> 07:45.868
[SPEAKER_00]: And it was my birthday so I was like really in my own pity party world.
07:46.388 --> 07:52.210
[SPEAKER_00]: So reading it and then like having things flashback and it talking about the pandemic.
07:52.310 --> 07:56.491
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, oh my gosh, I haven't read a book book that involves the pandemic yet.
07:56.531 --> 08:00.872
[SPEAKER_01]: So it was kind of like, wow life was just wild back then.
08:02.532 --> 08:06.133
[SPEAKER_00]: So I was kind of into it for that I thought you might be.
08:07.074 --> 08:08.654
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that was kind of cool.
08:09.986 --> 08:19.691
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, then it was cool and why do we pick it because I really enjoyed the social network and so I was like cool.
08:19.711 --> 08:20.672
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's do his other one.
08:22.302 --> 08:25.824
[SPEAKER_01]: I also think he has another one that's going to turn into a movie.
08:26.044 --> 08:33.788
[SPEAKER_00]: It very much is the same type of writing, which I like because going from like pain hustlers.
08:34.608 --> 08:42.732
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, to like yes, where it's the same type of story, like right, real event that happened and make it to story form.
08:43.372 --> 08:47.034
[SPEAKER_00]: He does way better than whoever wrote pain hustlers personally died.
08:47.114 --> 08:47.994
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yep.
08:51.416 --> 09:08.073
[SPEAKER_01]: but anyways, okay cool all right so my super fun facts you bred ahead yeah I did I read that first one that's insane so go ahead and let our listeners know yeah know we should just talk about it and pretend that they know
09:08.834 --> 09:10.335
[SPEAKER_01]: like, isn't that wild?
09:10.816 --> 09:11.756
[SPEAKER_01]: It's insane.
09:11.796 --> 09:14.078
[SPEAKER_01]: I cannot believe that.
09:15.639 --> 09:15.919
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
09:17.380 --> 09:28.348
[SPEAKER_00]: The real can Griffin apparently tried tactics to dissuade the film from being made, including sending actor Nick Overman, a cease and cease offer.
09:28.848 --> 09:35.174
[SPEAKER_00]: a season-desist letter threatening personal legal action against him for playing him in the film.
09:35.615 --> 09:47.406
[SPEAKER_00]: Sony's lawyer reviewed it and said it was unconstitutional guilty of restrictive practice in just rantings of an angry man looking to blame everyone.
09:47.886 --> 09:54.289
[SPEAKER_00]: They also told Offerman to go ahead and continue the role and they would have his back.
09:54.970 --> 10:00.593
[SPEAKER_00]: If Griffin was ever stupid enough to try and take this to court against the advice of his own lawyers.
10:01.193 --> 10:05.575
[SPEAKER_00]: Offerman's response was, guess that's one person I won't be getting a Christmas card from then.
10:06.616 --> 10:07.436
[SPEAKER_01]: That's hilarious.
10:07.677 --> 10:12.019
[SPEAKER_00]: And I read another fun fact, and I think he did try and take it to court.
10:13.180 --> 10:14.341
[SPEAKER_00]: Are you serious?
10:14.441 --> 10:15.342
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, let me see.
10:15.723 --> 10:17.505
[SPEAKER_00]: I might be wrong, but let me see.
10:17.525 --> 10:19.807
[SPEAKER_00]: That's insane.
10:21.229 --> 10:25.513
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, you're the asshole who did all day.
10:25.693 --> 10:26.034
[SPEAKER_00]: I know.
10:29.497 --> 10:33.558
[SPEAKER_01]: It's public knowledge, like who cares if they make a movie.
10:34.158 --> 10:56.622
[SPEAKER_00]: According to the website, Puck, the real Kenneth Griffin portrayed by the film, portrayed in the film by Nick Offerman, is locked in a nasty behind the scenes legal battle with Sony pictures over his depiction in Dumm, Money Griffin was hired at least two separate law firms and sent multiple threatening letters.
10:57.242 --> 11:08.488
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's consulting with his PR people to push back aggressively on his depiction of Offerment, Offerment, Offerment.
11:08.989 --> 11:21.596
[SPEAKER_00]: In the film, Team Griffin claims the movie crosses the line and knowingly false and defamatory portrayal of Ken and Citadel security.
11:31.424 --> 11:33.587
[SPEAKER_00]: But perhaps as PR person can explain it to him.
11:35.347 --> 11:44.993
[SPEAKER_01]: what's insane is that just shows you how deep in it this guy is and how like oblivious he is to all the wrong that he did.
11:45.554 --> 11:45.834
[SPEAKER_01]: Right?
11:46.554 --> 11:47.055
[SPEAKER_00]: Seriously.
11:47.835 --> 11:48.455
[SPEAKER_01]: Mind boggling.
11:48.876 --> 11:49.436
[SPEAKER_01]: I know, right?
11:49.996 --> 12:01.864
[SPEAKER_00]: Number two, the red microphone on his desk and picture of the kitten in the background along with Gilles Red Bend and the hanging off of it as a sign of rebellion when he gives his online testimony are all accurately portrayed.
12:05.880 --> 12:07.622
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, and apparently real life.
12:09.083 --> 12:16.409
[SPEAKER_00]: Number three, two of the executive producers of the film are the famous winkle voss twinkle Tyler and Cameron.
12:16.789 --> 12:26.137
[SPEAKER_00]: The two, those two are the ones that took on the creator of Facebook, Mike Zuckerberg, and a lawsuit that was dramatized in the film, the social network.
12:26.618 --> 12:32.723
[SPEAKER_00]: That film was based on the book, the accidental billionaires written by Ben Mezrich, who wrote this book.
12:33.063 --> 12:35.565
[SPEAKER_01]: That is blowing my fucking mind.
12:36.666 --> 12:37.726
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, so good.
12:39.007 --> 12:48.073
[SPEAKER_01]: I'd like to go from this dude who's threatening them to freaking, these two probably could do the same thing.
12:48.334 --> 12:48.614
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep.
12:49.802 --> 12:50.603
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh my gosh, so funny.
12:51.663 --> 13:00.769
[SPEAKER_00]: Number four, in one scene, the Steve Cohen character is seen wearing a New York Met's hat, the real Steve Cohen owns the Met's.
13:01.689 --> 13:02.570
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh wow, the fact.
13:03.971 --> 13:09.374
[SPEAKER_00]: And number five, Principal Photography occurred in New Jersey from October, June, November, 2020, too.
13:09.394 --> 13:12.436
[SPEAKER_00]: So took a month, two months, two months, two months.
13:13.567 --> 13:15.328
[SPEAKER_01]: that's insane.
13:15.509 --> 13:21.473
[SPEAKER_01]: I was trying to figure out with like when the book came out and when the movie came out how long it took I'm so glad you got that in there.
13:22.274 --> 13:22.414
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
13:24.016 --> 13:24.917
[SPEAKER_00]: kind of crazy.
13:25.417 --> 13:25.998
[SPEAKER_01]: It's insane.
13:26.478 --> 13:27.720
[SPEAKER_01]: It's mind blowing still.
13:29.461 --> 13:29.742
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
13:30.182 --> 13:30.502
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
13:31.223 --> 13:34.506
[SPEAKER_00]: I will admit though books like this were its facts.
13:35.487 --> 13:42.374
[SPEAKER_00]: And your life, even though it's written in story farm, takes me a really long time to write down people's names.
13:42.834 --> 13:43.655
[SPEAKER_00]: So you might have to help me.
13:44.316 --> 13:45.257
[SPEAKER_00]: Ha ha ha.
13:45.977 --> 13:46.238
[SPEAKER_00]: So.
13:48.282 --> 13:50.364
[SPEAKER_00]: I just got to kick off with this guy in Wall Street.
13:51.045 --> 13:52.166
[SPEAKER_00]: He's super into stocks.
13:52.607 --> 14:02.938
[SPEAKER_00]: He's to the point where he's imagining his own part of the basketball team, like his owning part of the basketball team that like Michael Jordan owns.
14:03.358 --> 14:19.184
[SPEAKER_00]: And as he imaginary, are he imagining his life on a yacht and like, he made billions and stocks the other day and he's just so happy and then he checks his account and he's losing the most money he's ever lost before and he's horrified.
14:19.405 --> 14:24.867
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't remember who this guy is in the movie or if he's even in the movie because we really only.
14:24.887 --> 14:25.347
[SPEAKER_00]: He's Rogan.
14:27.342 --> 14:28.423
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, duh, you're right.
14:28.543 --> 14:30.064
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm glad you said that.
14:30.204 --> 14:32.867
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, anyways, uh, so let's set the road.
14:32.927 --> 14:34.828
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah, no, you're right.
14:34.868 --> 14:35.749
[SPEAKER_01]: It is Seth Rogan.
14:35.989 --> 14:49.720
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, but the movie really only follows the main dude who Let everyone taking everything down like there's it shows other characters from the book as well, but they have such bit parts compared to the book
14:50.280 --> 14:50.560
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
14:50.640 --> 14:51.240
[SPEAKER_01]: Totally.
14:51.820 --> 14:57.862
[SPEAKER_01]: When I had seen the movie and then started reading this book, I was like, why am I still following this nurse?
14:57.962 --> 14:58.962
[SPEAKER_01]: Like why?
14:59.102 --> 15:00.643
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
15:01.303 --> 15:09.745
[SPEAKER_00]: So we jump to senior college kid and he's going about his college day during COVID and he gets back to his dorm and he's open in the Robinhood app.
15:10.346 --> 15:16.487
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so it's going to give us a bit and piece of like the however many main characters were choosing about how they're
15:19.265 --> 15:36.211
[SPEAKER_01]: And like they do show a group of college kids who were very much wrapped up in this, um, but I am pretty sure it's this kid that is more so translated into the main characters brother in the movie.
15:37.591 --> 15:37.931
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
15:38.292 --> 15:40.612
[SPEAKER_01]: Because in the movie, the main character has a brother.
15:40.712 --> 15:44.634
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm pretty sure he does in the book too, but the brother ends up being someone who jumps in on
15:45.854 --> 15:49.395
[SPEAKER_01]: buying stocks to and he also becomes a millionaire and whatever.
15:49.675 --> 15:50.616
[SPEAKER_00]: So right right.
15:50.776 --> 15:55.918
[SPEAKER_00]: I know I'm trying to do have a Robin's head account No, did you?
15:55.938 --> 15:57.178
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I do.
15:57.198 --> 16:12.944
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so we Got one probably when they first ever opened so back when we lived in Utah Chad is into it so he got talked to Cameron right when he got Cameron into it and I think when they first started
16:14.245 --> 16:17.149
[SPEAKER_00]: They were giving you a stock for free.
16:17.890 --> 16:24.420
[SPEAKER_00]: And so you got an act, like you got a stock for FMA was not like, any big huge stock, right?
16:24.480 --> 16:25.802
[SPEAKER_00]: It was just a deal of stock.
16:26.262 --> 16:29.968
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I think over the years, I had made like,
16:31.640 --> 16:33.242
[SPEAKER_00]: $5 or something like that.
16:33.382 --> 16:36.985
[SPEAKER_00]: Like woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo.
16:37.245 --> 16:41.990
[SPEAKER_00]: But after reading this book, I was like, oh my gosh, because I never looked at it again, right?
16:42.350 --> 16:44.052
[SPEAKER_00]: So I just kind of let it do its thing.
16:44.112 --> 16:46.414
[SPEAKER_00]: And like whatever I didn't put any money into it.
16:46.474 --> 16:47.615
[SPEAKER_00]: I knew nothing about stocks.
16:47.655 --> 16:49.417
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know when to buy sell, I'll do anything.
16:49.897 --> 16:51.338
[SPEAKER_01]: So I just had it there.
16:51.719 --> 16:54.341
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I just logged in and they took it away from me.
16:56.613 --> 17:00.276
[SPEAKER_00]: I wonder if it's because I didn't do anything or what.
17:00.296 --> 17:03.579
[SPEAKER_00]: I wouldn't have been able to see the tape in my stock.
17:03.659 --> 17:05.580
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, why are you taking my stock you gave me?
17:06.101 --> 17:07.121
[SPEAKER_00]: That's my stock.
17:08.102 --> 17:08.622
[SPEAKER_00]: I know.
17:08.643 --> 17:13.987
[SPEAKER_00]: But I so much want, like, this book made me want to buy a stock.
17:14.027 --> 17:16.388
[SPEAKER_00]: But then I'm like, I don't know anything about stock.
17:16.428 --> 17:17.789
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know when I was supposed to buy a stock.
17:17.850 --> 17:20.271
[SPEAKER_00]: I would just buy it just to watch it go up and down.
17:20.432 --> 17:22.273
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's like, that's the help point list.
17:25.135 --> 17:30.720
[SPEAKER_00]: but like I want to see the little fireworks or the like confetti or whatever it does.
17:30.740 --> 17:31.641
[SPEAKER_01]: The green.
17:32.041 --> 17:34.843
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so it's like me and the area is out.
17:36.125 --> 17:40.729
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so anyways, I was really sad when I logged back in and it was not there.
17:40.749 --> 17:43.831
[SPEAKER_00]: It was like something dental I feel like I had.
17:43.871 --> 17:47.855
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what I had, but I'm like, man.
17:48.920 --> 18:09.894
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, do you have any stocks for like a dollar or I'll buy it when I want to make you a stock that now see I know games dot bill search I what is this predictions with I know stocks I search stocks I don't know
18:13.302 --> 18:18.803

[SPEAKER_01]: Is it like GMS or G?
18:21.444 --> 18:22.264
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah, GME.
18:22.424 --> 18:32.787
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's up to $22 a share as opposed to what it gets to 500 or something.
18:33.027 --> 18:34.367
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you're keep staying.
18:36.128 --> 18:37.728
[SPEAKER_00]: Yikes, bummer.

[SPEAKER_00]: kind of just want to buy one just cuz.
18:47.034 --> 18:48.475
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh man, anyways, all right.
18:49.455 --> 18:52.717
[SPEAKER_00]: This is just kind of interesting.
18:52.757 --> 18:55.998
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like in the whole last year, it got down the lowest.
18:56.058 --> 18:57.939
[SPEAKER_00]: It was that was 1993, and the highest was 30, 60.
18:58.019 --> 18:58.159
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.
18:58.240 --> 18:58.360
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
18:59.040 --> 18:59.140
[SPEAKER_00]: But
19:05.532 --> 19:07.534
[SPEAKER_00]: That's really nothing compared to what it was.
19:07.714 --> 19:08.895
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to do another one of these.
19:09.035 --> 19:10.256
[SPEAKER_00]: Open the bets thing again.
19:10.296 --> 19:11.077
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to buy one.
19:13.439 --> 19:16.261
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I won't be like, we're sticking it to the man.
19:16.402 --> 19:18.403
[SPEAKER_00]: I would actually sell it and make millions of dollars.
19:18.463 --> 19:19.004
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, come on.
19:22.197 --> 19:22.918
[SPEAKER_00]: Actually, yes.
19:23.379 --> 19:24.119
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
19:24.320 --> 19:25.081
[SPEAKER_00]: Come on.
19:25.721 --> 19:26.342
[SPEAKER_00]: We learned.
19:26.703 --> 19:27.123
[SPEAKER_00]: Come on.
19:27.323 --> 19:30.027
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's go.
19:30.187 --> 19:31.529
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, my gosh.
19:31.749 --> 19:31.889
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh.
19:33.010 --> 19:33.371
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyways.
19:33.711 --> 19:34.052
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
19:34.893 --> 19:35.994
[SPEAKER_00]: Did you say your piece with this?
19:38.132 --> 19:39.413
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, yeah.
19:39.433 --> 19:40.134
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm pretty sure I did.
19:40.274 --> 19:40.915
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
19:43.077 --> 19:48.241
[SPEAKER_01]: For the most part, I will say the most part, it happens how it happens in the book.
19:48.461 --> 19:51.224
[SPEAKER_01]: They stick very close to what happens.
19:51.264 --> 19:54.947
[SPEAKER_01]: There's like some tiny differences, but from majority of it.
19:55.007 --> 19:55.648
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's there.
19:56.448 --> 19:57.149
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think so too.
19:57.926 --> 20:03.170
[SPEAKER_00]: So Keith is hanging out with his two-year-old daughter, Keith's our cat dude, right?
20:03.370 --> 20:05.552
[SPEAKER_00]: Keith is a... Nick's off.
20:07.253 --> 20:08.013
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yes.
20:08.594 --> 20:09.575
[SPEAKER_01]: No, that's, sorry.
20:09.615 --> 20:10.555
[SPEAKER_01]: No, that's Ken.
20:10.735 --> 20:14.298
[SPEAKER_00]: Ken, okay, Keith's our main guy.
20:14.318 --> 20:17.700
[SPEAKER_00]: So your wife isn't exactly where he thought it would be, but it's not bad.
20:17.801 --> 20:25.206
[SPEAKER_00]: He always thought he'd, you know, going to finance, but it was really competitive, so he didn't, like he had to compete against all the Harvard guys.
20:25.226 --> 20:26.567
[SPEAKER_00]: So now he works insurance.
20:27.593 --> 20:52.093
[SPEAKER_00]: and um but he has like this computer downstairs that he does like video podcasting to people and um he opened up his Robinhood app right next to him so he could check his stocks um that happens i don't have anything to note on that part yep then we get a new person i think her name's Katie but i'm not sure she's an american or america america for rara yeah
20:52.333 --> 20:59.275
[SPEAKER_00]: So, um, she's a nurse and she loves Reddit, so she's been on Reddit and she found this wall streets bets board.
21:00.035 --> 21:04.876
[SPEAKER_00]: And she's also a Trump supporter, which is why she started on Reddit because they had boards all about him.
21:05.696 --> 21:13.838
[SPEAKER_00]: And when, um, she's discovering Wall Street, she found the Robinhood app, so she now downloaded that as well.
21:15.319 --> 21:16.579
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, here's a difference.
21:16.679 --> 21:18.099
[SPEAKER_01]: The movie thankfully didn't
21:22.590 --> 21:32.618
[SPEAKER_01]: It might have like very lightly but not like, yeah, in a way that like, I didn't catch it like I did in the book like when I was reading it in the book I was like, what?
21:32.638 --> 21:41.485
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, hold on because it really Not to get political, but it really doesn't fucking make sense, but it doesn't matter.
21:41.565 --> 21:42.906
[SPEAKER_00]: Why does it matter like?
21:43.727 --> 21:44.748
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, exactly.
21:45.168 --> 21:46.870
[SPEAKER_01]: That's even more important.
21:46.930 --> 21:47.150
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
21:48.669 --> 21:51.350
[SPEAKER_00]: It's nothing to do with politics or stocks.
21:51.390 --> 21:52.070
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't even know that.
21:52.090 --> 21:53.271
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, all right, gambling.
21:53.791 --> 21:54.711
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, exactly.
21:55.411 --> 22:03.374
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, so we're with Emma, who's this girl that works in closing with like the financial, whatever stocks and stuff.
22:04.081 --> 22:28.381
[SPEAKER_00]: and she's waiting to have a meeting with these two gentlemen but they're doing like a photo shoot for an article and it turns out they are the creators of the Robinhood app and originally they started by making uh something for Wall Street that helped the rich get richer and they're like that's stupid we wanted to make something for the little guys and that's why they came up with the name Robinhood because you know taken money given it to the boy rich
22:29.301 --> 22:44.447
[SPEAKER_00]: And so this app is really focused on millennials and it's almost like slot machines because it gives you the dopamine every time you see your little number go up and like the fireworks and the confetti and all that sort of stuff.
22:44.867 --> 22:46.908
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's what's in it almost got out of it.
22:47.288 --> 22:47.749
[SPEAKER_00]: I know.
22:48.089 --> 22:51.430
[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't even gamble or do that stuff.
22:51.550 --> 22:53.311
[SPEAKER_00]: But it's like, I mean,
22:56.652 --> 23:04.576
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, if I'm making money and seeing that, yes, I believe it's like, so it's like, but it's, I'm over here still on it.
23:07.037 --> 23:09.699
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just like, they make it simple.
23:09.999 --> 23:15.322
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it looked a whole lot simpler way back when, but that was before all this happens.
23:15.462 --> 23:17.063
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, that might be why.
23:18.103 --> 23:32.608
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, and so they made it so like anybody can do it and you don't have to be Wall Street smart to be able to buy stocks, and um, uh, so she gave them a rundown of what closing is and apparently that's really important with stocks and I don't really still understand it.
23:32.668 --> 23:34.149
[SPEAKER_01]: Even though they had a whole chapter explaining it.
23:35.216 --> 23:37.597
[SPEAKER_00]: And they're like, no, no, no, we don't like that.
23:37.697 --> 23:39.538
[SPEAKER_00]: The way you do it, we're going to do it our way.
23:39.598 --> 23:42.360
[SPEAKER_00]: And she's like, this is like, you have to do it this way.
23:42.540 --> 23:45.861
[SPEAKER_00]: Otherwise, it's like, it's the most important part of stocks.
23:45.921 --> 23:49.163
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, you can't run a stock thing if you don't do it.
23:49.423 --> 23:50.484
[SPEAKER_01]: They're like, we got this.
23:50.784 --> 23:52.945
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't worry, she's like, whatever.
23:53.085 --> 23:55.146
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll be back in two years when they fail.
23:58.247 --> 24:18.785
[SPEAKER_01]: This part in the movie, whoever is interviewing them is not this chick who knows what she's like she is very knowledgeable But it's not this Emma girl But I was very thankful for it because they actually like they actually explained it in a much more like dumb down way than the book did where does the book?
24:19.265 --> 24:24.069
[SPEAKER_01]: Book pretty much treats it as if you are someone who has been buying stocks your whole life.
24:24.349 --> 24:25.069
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what I'm talking about.
24:25.090 --> 24:31.014
[SPEAKER_00]: There's one chapter that explained it like with donuts and like I was like, ah, that makes sense.
24:31.334 --> 24:32.375
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I forgot it.
24:32.755 --> 24:34.256
[SPEAKER_00]: But you know, they explained it.
24:34.417 --> 24:39.340
[SPEAKER_00]: They dumped it down, but they dumped it down with a whole bunch of information still.
24:40.001 --> 24:41.342
[SPEAKER_00]: So my brain got messed up.
24:41.382 --> 24:45.845
[SPEAKER_00]: But yes, the movie did a good job of like, can I explain you now what the fuck happened?
24:45.905 --> 24:46.986
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I know.
24:48.467 --> 24:49.968
[SPEAKER_01]: After watching it, I got it.
24:50.208 --> 24:51.088
[SPEAKER_00]: Two days later.
24:51.529 --> 24:52.249
[SPEAKER_01]: Can't remember.
24:52.309 --> 24:52.669
[SPEAKER_01]: Gone.
24:53.690 --> 24:54.310
[SPEAKER_01]: Do it on now.
24:55.911 --> 24:57.492
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh my gosh.
24:58.852 --> 24:59.053
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
24:59.453 --> 24:59.673
[SPEAKER_01]: Ready?
25:00.333 --> 25:00.914
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
25:01.514 --> 25:02.274
[SPEAKER_00]: So there's this girl.
25:02.314 --> 25:03.735
[SPEAKER_00]: She's four months pregnant.
25:03.775 --> 25:05.316
[SPEAKER_00]: She's planning her dream wedding.
25:05.376 --> 25:06.817
[SPEAKER_00]: And then COVID happened.
25:07.697 --> 25:12.559
[SPEAKER_00]: And so she's like, they just got, you know, full backyard wedding.
25:13.000 --> 25:15.681
[SPEAKER_00]: And those, she's really sad about it.
25:18.123 --> 25:27.077
[SPEAKER_00]: Soon, she finds out she's pregnant and so she's super excited about that and Flashback a little bit when she was in the middle of her wedding planning.
25:27.137 --> 25:32.525
[SPEAKER_00]: She got on reddit She got distracted by a board talking about stocks the wall street whatever it was called
25:32.745 --> 25:34.366
[SPEAKER_00]: uh, bets.
25:34.386 --> 25:43.872
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's how she discovered Robinhood and she decided to take out $1,200, and invest in something for her wedding because she didn't need the money for her wedding anymore.
25:43.912 --> 25:45.193
[SPEAKER_00]: So she just had $1,200.
25:45.233 --> 25:46.234
[SPEAKER_00]: So she just put it in.
25:46.314 --> 25:47.755
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, I wish I could have done.
25:48.996 --> 25:52.218
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the same.
25:52.298 --> 25:54.420
[SPEAKER_01]: The whole time I read in this, I'm like, I was around.
25:54.720 --> 25:56.082
[SPEAKER_01]: I could have bought a stock.
25:56.762 --> 26:01.106
[SPEAKER_00]: I was working for a game stop at that point in time.
26:01.186 --> 26:04.128
[SPEAKER_00]: I could have fucking, what the hell man?
26:04.569 --> 26:06.210
[SPEAKER_00]: That's why I wish they went into more.
26:06.270 --> 26:11.435
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm glad that they sort of did it in the movie from someone who was working at GameStop.
26:11.695 --> 26:14.057
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't know if you were working there during this time.
26:14.417 --> 26:15.298
[SPEAKER_00]: So now I'm gonna ask you.
26:15.618 --> 26:16.459
[SPEAKER_01]: what the heck was it like?
26:16.559 --> 26:19.482
[SPEAKER_01]: It was insane because like no one knew what was going on.
26:20.002 --> 26:23.165
[SPEAKER_01]: Everyone was like, we don't know if we're going to have a job next week.
26:23.205 --> 26:28.951
[SPEAKER_01]: We don't know like what's happening, but then it was like, oh everyone loves us.
26:28.991 --> 26:31.033
[SPEAKER_01]: That's crazy.
26:35.866 --> 26:45.050
[SPEAKER_01]: I was just sitting there like everyone's making so much money off of us and I'm just making like right then and there and put it into stock right then.
26:45.070 --> 26:46.511
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a too late by that point.
26:46.931 --> 26:50.572
[SPEAKER_01]: I think at that point it was like way too expensive.
26:50.812 --> 26:51.493
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah like 500.
26:51.533 --> 26:54.594
[SPEAKER_01]: No way and hell was I gonna drop that much money.
26:54.614 --> 26:56.595
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so I was like
26:57.195 --> 26:57.535
[SPEAKER_01]: whatever.
26:57.755 --> 27:04.160
[SPEAKER_01]: I also, like, just because I'm me, I didn't think that people would actually get rich off of it.
27:04.560 --> 27:04.840
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
27:05.021 --> 27:05.301
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
27:05.961 --> 27:08.723
[SPEAKER_01]: So I was like, this is kind of dumb guys.
27:08.743 --> 27:10.925
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, this is a dying store.
27:11.325 --> 27:12.846
[SPEAKER_01]: Everything is streaming.
27:12.866 --> 27:14.107
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, right.
27:15.668 --> 27:16.028
[SPEAKER_01]: Hello.
27:16.048 --> 27:17.749
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, my gosh.
27:18.370 --> 27:21.192
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, um, we could get back in time.
27:23.307 --> 27:25.589
[SPEAKER_01]: I know, these would be a lot different.
27:25.929 --> 27:32.577
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, so we, or this, wait, wait, this chick doesn't exist in the movie.
27:32.817 --> 27:33.558
[SPEAKER_00]: No, she doesn't.
27:33.678 --> 27:38.103
[SPEAKER_01]: But like Ali said, there is a dude who exists, who is an employee for GameStop.
27:38.123 --> 27:40.426
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he kind of takes, and he's not in the book.
27:41.918 --> 28:05.639
[SPEAKER_00]: So we are back with Keith and he's recording for his YouTube channel and it's like telling people hey We need to look at GameStop and no one believes him because GameStop is sucking because what breed just said everything's online now So why do people need to buy anything in GameStop stores anymore and we learn some in and out to the stock system and borrowing stocks and everything that again We were saying that we understood when we watched it, but now we do not
28:07.135 --> 28:13.317
[SPEAKER_01]: So we're not going to be able to explain this at all to you, but you probably know more than we there.
28:14.857 --> 28:23.180
[SPEAKER_00]: And we read a book and watch the movie.
28:23.600 --> 28:29.022
[SPEAKER_00]: Tell me what stock I need to buy people, one that's less than $20, that's going to happen.
28:30.378 --> 28:32.639
[SPEAKER_01]: even think about doing anything with stocks.
28:32.699 --> 28:39.380
[SPEAKER_01]: It just makes me think of the friends episode where Monica's just yeah doesn't have a job and she's like, I bought this one because it's my initials.
28:39.820 --> 28:40.240
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
28:40.701 --> 28:41.581
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my god.
28:41.621 --> 28:42.621
[SPEAKER_00]: What I fucking went to you.
28:44.441 --> 28:45.742
[SPEAKER_01]: Whatever they have on this my initials.
28:45.762 --> 28:46.122
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's see.
28:47.282 --> 28:51.423
[SPEAKER_01]: Right where you get the the one that she got because it was
28:55.614 --> 28:57.315
[SPEAKER_00]: B-A-D, let's see.
28:57.475 --> 28:59.215
[SPEAKER_00]: They want this badger, they don't want it.
28:59.235 --> 29:00.495
[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, honey badger, don't care.
29:00.515 --> 29:03.696
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't have a B-A-D, but they have a badger.
29:03.716 --> 29:14.159
[SPEAKER_00]: How about an ACL, something, X-Less technology, ACLS, that would be my Smith in there too.
29:14.840 --> 29:17.240
[SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, maybe you should get that.
29:17.500 --> 29:20.061
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, let's see what it is at.
29:20.741 --> 29:21.201
[SPEAKER_01]: 300 dollars.
29:24.784 --> 29:32.208
[SPEAKER_00]: I can get it for, I don't know, I need trade.
29:32.889 --> 29:36.230
[SPEAKER_00]: No, because it's the stock, this market is closed, is that what it is?
29:37.431 --> 29:41.213
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah, because it opened, I don't know when it opens, but it opens all specifically.
29:43.635 --> 29:45.215
[SPEAKER_00]: When it's open, it's going to be $153.
29:45.516 --> 29:48.557
[SPEAKER_00]: That I don't want with that.
29:48.597 --> 29:52.559
[SPEAKER_01]: Not buying that one, but look at how expensive you are, Ali.
29:54.354 --> 30:04.004
[SPEAKER_00]: 50 week, two week, it went to, it was at 61 dollars at some point this year and it was at 71, another point this year.
30:04.545 --> 30:09.090
[SPEAKER_00]: Whatever this is, damn chip manufacturer industry.
30:10.953 --> 30:14.154
[SPEAKER_01]: I wonder if it does like, oh, because you said it was technology.
30:14.354 --> 30:18.335
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's probably like chips for like to going lab tops.
30:18.915 --> 30:22.035
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought you were saying chips isn't like I'm going to go eat some chips.
30:22.075 --> 30:24.436
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sorry to disappoint.
30:29.377 --> 30:29.817
[SPEAKER_00]: Lays.
30:30.017 --> 30:30.577
[SPEAKER_00]: What's Lays?
30:30.717 --> 30:31.817
[SPEAKER_00]: Is that what's there?
30:31.937 --> 30:34.378
[SPEAKER_00]: What's their company or derivatives?
30:37.404 --> 30:40.528
[SPEAKER_00]: Is it free to raise free to look guys.
30:40.668 --> 30:46.615
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a whole podcast is going to be about Ali buying a stock McDonald's is in the hardcore red right now.
30:46.635 --> 30:48.898
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, you could buy them
30:50.623 --> 30:51.583
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's only $280.
30:51.603 --> 30:52.664
[SPEAKER_00]: What?
30:53.084 --> 30:56.065
[SPEAKER_00]: And they're in the red?
30:56.205 --> 30:56.565
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
30:57.145 --> 30:58.786
[SPEAKER_00]: They're like going down, down, down.
30:58.986 --> 30:59.746
[SPEAKER_00]: Just for today.
30:59.826 --> 31:02.427
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, like, that for the month, they're in the green.
31:02.587 --> 31:03.547
[SPEAKER_00]: The year, they're in the red.
31:03.587 --> 31:05.548
[SPEAKER_01]: The holy cow looks like how so much they suck.
31:08.889 --> 31:09.709
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, no.
31:09.729 --> 31:11.069
[SPEAKER_01]: Are you McDonald's?
31:11.690 --> 31:13.110
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, it's going on McDonald's.
31:13.470 --> 31:15.131
[SPEAKER_00]: Dr. Pepper's doing okay.
31:16.011 --> 31:17.631
[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, that's one I would buy.
31:18.252 --> 31:19.212
[SPEAKER_01]: I love Dr. Pepper.
31:20.282 --> 31:20.823
[SPEAKER_00]: They're too bad.
31:20.843 --> 31:21.603
[SPEAKER_01]: They're too often.
31:22.264 --> 31:22.584
[SPEAKER_00]: 30?
31:22.624 --> 31:23.425
[SPEAKER_00]: That's not bad.
31:23.665 --> 31:26.468
[SPEAKER_00]: They're not bad.
31:26.488 --> 31:28.570
[SPEAKER_00]: They're compared to the 150 to 180.
31:29.030 --> 31:30.412
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, not bad.
31:30.472 --> 31:33.294
[SPEAKER_00]: But in the last year, they've only gone up to 35, so...
31:36.017 --> 31:37.198
[SPEAKER_00]: I really could do this all day.
31:37.538 --> 31:39.480
[SPEAKER_00]: And have no intention of buying anything.
31:39.500 --> 31:41.803
[SPEAKER_00]: So, and we were like, well, do this episode fast.
31:41.863 --> 31:43.905
[SPEAKER_00]: And here I am making it take twice as long.
31:44.545 --> 31:50.206
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, I have great to see it because I have grading to do and I really don't want to grade, so I'm over here letting you off.
31:51.286 --> 31:53.067
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't even look up stocks for no reason.
31:53.087 --> 31:54.827
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
31:54.847 --> 31:56.087
[SPEAKER_01]: We're doing a podcast on stocks.
31:56.167 --> 31:57.487
[SPEAKER_01]: It's for the episode.
31:57.547 --> 31:58.347
[SPEAKER_01]: Exactly.
31:59.108 --> 32:00.348
[SPEAKER_00]: That's where my brain is at.
32:00.388 --> 32:03.148
[SPEAKER_00]: And then it just clicked like what really is happening.
32:03.988 --> 32:05.069
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, no.
32:07.809 --> 32:08.249
[SPEAKER_00]: Goodness.
32:08.509 --> 32:08.929
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
32:08.969 --> 32:09.729
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, okay.
32:10.810 --> 32:12.150
[SPEAKER_00]: We are with Jeremy.
32:13.030 --> 32:29.115
[SPEAKER_00]: who is this is the guy who's Keith's brother in the movie my bad not the college student okay college student is the game stop character kind of got it and then Jeremy is the brother got it okay so he's go full with his dad
32:30.035 --> 32:34.657
[SPEAKER_00]: And no, I don't think it is the brother because these are big Wall Street guys that know what they're doing.
32:35.157 --> 32:45.101
[SPEAKER_00]: He created Chewie, that background about how his dad is like, gave up everything when he was nine and he moved his family onto a boat because he was diagnosed with cancer and he beat the odds.
32:45.481 --> 32:51.843
[SPEAKER_00]: And now he made his money back and like, he's like, I really want to invest in, or I think we really need to invest in game stuff.
32:52.163 --> 32:53.944
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, no, this is the brother.
32:54.365 --> 33:01.189
[SPEAKER_01]: They don't have these characters in there, but they may, because Jeremy's whole thing in this book is basically he's a dick.
33:02.510 --> 33:09.095
[SPEAKER_01]: And Keith's brother takes on that part of the story, not the like, we're big-time money.
33:09.655 --> 33:10.556
[SPEAKER_01]: Got it, got it, got it.
33:11.116 --> 33:11.336
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
33:12.880 --> 33:31.590
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, so now we're with our nurse, so they cut these two characters out and made it Keith's brother and dad because there's a part in the movie that happens from the book specifically that happens later on in the book and it's these two characters but Keith's father and brother.
33:33.251 --> 33:33.571
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
33:33.631 --> 33:43.013
[SPEAKER_00]: So now in our book, I just scroll down to see a name, um, we're with our nurse who now in my notes has changed to Kim instead of Katie.
33:43.033 --> 33:45.374
[SPEAKER_01]: I actually think Kim is the correct name.
33:45.414 --> 33:45.554
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
33:45.754 --> 33:46.034
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
33:46.194 --> 33:49.694
[SPEAKER_00]: Because I scroll down to see what her name was and it's changed in the movie.
33:49.714 --> 33:50.195
[SPEAKER_00]: So that was
34:07.941 --> 34:11.044
[SPEAKER_00]: She has decent communication with one.
34:11.064 --> 34:11.164
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
34:12.385 --> 34:14.127
[SPEAKER_00]: That's my gosh.
34:14.167 --> 34:16.690
[SPEAKER_00]: She's in decent communication.
34:19.810 --> 34:23.614
[SPEAKER_00]: So she has good communication with one, but not great with the other.
34:23.894 --> 34:27.718
[SPEAKER_00]: And her kids are teenagers and one's a teenager, one's a pre-teen.
34:28.418 --> 34:35.225
[SPEAKER_00]: And she gets home from work and she's super excited because she saw this guy who was into cats as a cat poster.
34:35.545 --> 34:38.048
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's on Reddit and he's like talking about GameStop.
34:38.668 --> 34:40.070
[SPEAKER_00]: and the stock for game stop.
34:40.170 --> 34:43.933
[SPEAKER_01]: And so she put $5,000 in the game stop.
34:44.074 --> 34:45.335
[SPEAKER_01]: That's insane.
34:45.695 --> 34:54.204
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't feel like, yeah, that's another thing is I would have only put in one stock worth of game stop and I probably would have made like $200.
34:55.765 --> 35:00.869
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't exactly say, I wouldn't have had the balls to be like, yeah, I'll put down $5,000.
35:01.249 --> 35:06.012
[SPEAKER_01]: I would have never had $5,000 at that point in time to do it anyway.
35:06.152 --> 35:12.957
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, oh my gosh, I would never make money on stocks because I'd be just too scared to do anything.
35:13.877 --> 35:14.098
[SPEAKER_01]: Mm-hmm.
35:14.318 --> 35:14.718
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
35:15.179 --> 35:16.460
[SPEAKER_00]: So we're following.
35:17.101 --> 35:21.806
[SPEAKER_00]: Wait, do we have anything on Kim or Jenny as she is in the movie or is we're good?
35:23.007 --> 35:23.988
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, no, we're good.
35:24.028 --> 35:28.112
[SPEAKER_01]: She does have two kids and she does everything you just said so perfect.
35:28.753 --> 35:35.195
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, so we're following pregnant girl and she's gotten ultrasound and when they got They printed her picture.
35:35.315 --> 35:55.379
[SPEAKER_00]: She logs into her reddit account and she reads up on this dude who's been going off about GameStop and we share or the shares are up to $20 now So she sees all these post about people not really liking him because he's kind of screwing things up that for the wall street people And she decides it's time to put her own money in the hat.
35:55.539 --> 35:57.440
[SPEAKER_00]: So she throws money in for
35:59.901 --> 36:02.164
[SPEAKER_00]: Insane, but this doesn't happen in the movie.
36:03.044 --> 36:03.165
[SPEAKER_00]: Nope.
36:04.486 --> 36:05.687
[SPEAKER_00]: So Gabe is a Wall Street guy.
36:05.707 --> 36:19.721
[SPEAKER_01]: But I think, yes, I think that's good, because like obviously I know that she's a real person and she actually did that, but I think if you throw that in a movie, seeing a pregnant lady, getting an ultrasound and she's like, yeah, gonna do this.
36:20.221 --> 36:21.683
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know how believable that would be.
36:22.624 --> 36:22.884
[SPEAKER_01]: You know?
36:23.216 --> 36:27.297
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I would be like, why aren't you spending your money on your kid on your own going to kid?
36:27.417 --> 36:28.957
[SPEAKER_00]: Why are you putting it into the stock?
36:29.657 --> 36:30.338
[SPEAKER_00]: That's dumb.
36:31.078 --> 36:32.158
[SPEAKER_00]: You make your bad choices.
36:32.898 --> 36:38.559
[SPEAKER_00]: We're judging you that you're not real because you're making bad choices.
36:38.579 --> 36:41.240
[SPEAKER_01]: That's why I said I feel bad because she is a real person.
36:41.280 --> 36:49.482
[SPEAKER_01]: So I know that she did this for real, but I think in a movie, we wouldn't be able to put that together, you know?
36:49.920 --> 36:51.761
[SPEAKER_00]: For me, it would have just been too many people.
36:51.801 --> 36:53.923
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they had the right number of people to follow.
36:54.063 --> 36:55.624
[SPEAKER_00]: And they didn't need extra people.
36:56.484 --> 37:06.050
[SPEAKER_01]: Especially since they follow so many people who are in the stalks, buying the stalks, and then the people who are getting fucked from the stalks.
37:06.530 --> 37:10.553
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, because there's so many, there's the people who made Robin Hood.
37:10.593 --> 37:11.814
[SPEAKER_01]: There's the Wall Street dudes.
37:11.854 --> 37:15.356
[SPEAKER_01]: There's Keith, and then there's the people who have been influenced by Keith.
37:16.016 --> 37:17.017
[SPEAKER_01]: So it was a lot.
37:18.748 --> 37:34.258
[SPEAKER_00]: Alright, so Gabe was our Wall Street guy, I think, from the beginning, and he knew the numbers and how to work the system and everything, and we learned details about people why they should buy stocks and when companies fail and all those sort of stuff.
37:34.578 --> 37:39.841
[SPEAKER_00]: And we learned that game stop was failing especially during the pandemic.
37:40.662 --> 37:41.763
[SPEAKER_00]: And it turned out to be
37:43.527 --> 37:57.870
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, what turned out to be GameStop, what turned out to be by GameStop because we like GameStop turned into by GameStop, to throw down the races who were making money off of stocks this.
37:58.370 --> 38:01.170
[SPEAKER_00]: What the heck did my phone think I was saying?
38:04.791 --> 38:05.971
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't even read the
38:15.206 --> 38:16.926
[SPEAKER_00]: getting money from stocks.
38:17.106 --> 38:17.527
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
38:17.847 --> 38:19.467
[SPEAKER_00]: Look, I even end with I don't know.
38:24.108 --> 38:25.929
[SPEAKER_01]: I really was confused by this chapter apparently.
38:26.349 --> 38:26.749
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
38:26.769 --> 38:29.310
[SPEAKER_01]: So game stop is I think it's basically what we're saying.
38:29.330 --> 38:30.230
[SPEAKER_01]: Game stop is fail.
38:30.250 --> 38:31.470
[SPEAKER_01]: So why are people buying it?
38:31.710 --> 38:38.592
[SPEAKER_01]: I think this was Gabe's chapter where he's like we all love game stop but they're failing company.
38:38.692 --> 38:42.933
[SPEAKER_01]: So obviously they're the stock right now that we need to put our money into so that we can then be
38:42.993 --> 38:46.416
[SPEAKER_01]: because it's actually rich fuckers do this all the time.
38:46.716 --> 39:01.027
[SPEAKER_01]: Where they buy stocks and they buy the stocks of a company that is failing to bring the stocks up so that they can then sell it and essentially make the company go out of business because of the stocks that have been sold.
39:01.527 --> 39:08.630
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, whereas Keith and everyone that was influenced by him, they were like, uh, uh, we like game stop.
39:08.670 --> 39:09.570
[SPEAKER_01]: So, so what we're gonna do.
39:09.610 --> 39:14.992
[SPEAKER_01]: So we were getting the side of the bad guys who were trying to make game stop go out of business.
39:15.012 --> 39:16.672
[SPEAKER_01]: Because I do remember that a lot.
39:16.792 --> 39:22.234
[SPEAKER_01]: I remember pretty much all of our higher ups were basically like any day now, any day now.
39:22.554 --> 39:24.295
[SPEAKER_01]: And then it wasn't any day now.
39:30.794 --> 39:34.419
[SPEAKER_00]: Ugh, all right, the kitty guy, okay.
39:34.499 --> 39:37.863
[SPEAKER_00]: Ooh, this is live streaming about stocks.
39:37.983 --> 39:39.125
[SPEAKER_00]: Is now a millionaire.
39:39.585 --> 39:44.111
[SPEAKER_00]: People are finally jumping onto this game stop thing and stocks are nearly $20 a piece now.
39:44.151 --> 39:45.152
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what it does now.
39:46.422 --> 39:57.009
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't, maybe we should get on this, no, um, uh, Keith has a wife in the book in the movie who's very freaking supportive.
39:57.409 --> 40:02.392
[SPEAKER_01]: And I feel like if I were his wife, there were multiple times where I'd been like, you need to sell.
40:02.712 --> 40:06.355
[SPEAKER_01]: If you have so much fucking money right now, we need it.
40:08.076 --> 40:09.777
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, maybe just sell.
40:09.837 --> 40:10.757
[SPEAKER_00]: So we have a million.
40:11.057 --> 40:14.039
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, and then you can keep the other million or three million in
40:15.280 --> 40:19.064
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's take a feeling of it like get some of our money out now.
40:19.524 --> 40:22.667
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, and then keep doing your shifts.
40:22.907 --> 40:23.748
[SPEAKER_01]: Seriously
40:25.291 --> 40:26.372
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh my gosh, all right.
40:26.612 --> 40:32.255
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, the nurse is the first one at her hospital to get the COVID shot.
40:32.655 --> 40:35.996
[SPEAKER_00]: She's in the waiting room for 15 minutes because that's what we had to do back then.
40:36.557 --> 40:45.061
[SPEAKER_00]: And she logs into a Robinhood account and in came her coworker and she's talking about game stop and she explained how the borrowing everything.
40:45.501 --> 40:50.484
[SPEAKER_00]: So it made sense and that's where the donut thing was used where it's like, yeah, I remember now, but
40:51.518 --> 40:53.342
[SPEAKER_01]: Mm-hmm, she explained it very well.
40:53.583 --> 40:59.416
[SPEAKER_00]: She did really well, and I'm like, oh, I get it now That's why you want to sell and buy and yeah, I don't remember now
41:02.247 --> 41:05.990
[SPEAKER_01]: And that doesn't do to learn about socks people.
41:06.010 --> 41:07.011
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know why they don't do it.
41:07.231 --> 41:08.152
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what's happening.
41:09.012 --> 41:09.513
[SPEAKER_01]: I know book.
41:09.873 --> 41:12.035
[SPEAKER_01]: I know movie.
41:13.015 --> 41:19.220
[SPEAKER_01]: This part does happen in the movie and it's basically the first scene where we meet Kim is when this part happens.
41:19.240 --> 41:22.562
[SPEAKER_01]: We should have heard names not Kim in the movie.
41:22.822 --> 41:23.583
[SPEAKER_01]: But no.
41:25.207 --> 41:25.908
[SPEAKER_00]: all right.
41:26.748 --> 41:46.844
[SPEAKER_00]: So we were with Jeremy and he's on a really bad first zoom date and he put more and more money into this game stop thing and he convinces dad to put money into it and his brother calls him up and's like, dude, you got to sell your rich now and Jerry's like, nah, I'm just getting
41:56.474 --> 42:03.219
[SPEAKER_01]: Keith's brothers sits there and convinces their dad to buy some of the stocks and there's like a whole scene with the dad being like you guys are ready.
42:03.299 --> 42:04.960
[SPEAKER_00]: It's and he's like not on odds good.
42:05.000 --> 42:06.021
[SPEAKER_00]: This is what we got to do.
42:06.842 --> 42:11.205
[SPEAKER_01]: And so that's pretty much how they kept these characters in.
42:11.898 --> 42:17.904
[SPEAKER_00]: I also think they kind of can join this character and made it like the college girls, too.
42:17.924 --> 42:23.890
[SPEAKER_00]: Because there was one college girl that was like all in and then she convinced her friend to join and all of this.
42:23.910 --> 42:24.971
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's true, too.
42:26.032 --> 42:26.493
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
42:27.133 --> 42:29.756
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
42:34.409 --> 42:37.611
[SPEAKER_00]: So we got Tim, and he's the closing guy for Robinhood.
42:37.631 --> 42:38.591
[SPEAKER_00]: So they found this new guy.
42:38.631 --> 42:39.351
[SPEAKER_00]: They didn't need Emma.
42:39.451 --> 42:40.092
[SPEAKER_00]: They found this guy.
42:40.652 --> 42:42.493
[SPEAKER_00]: And he went into detail about his job.
42:42.753 --> 42:46.034
[SPEAKER_00]: And I could not tell you one sentence from what he said.
42:46.215 --> 42:47.175
[SPEAKER_00]: Because it was all man.
42:48.816 --> 42:51.017
[SPEAKER_00]: Good on our author for learning it all.
42:51.637 --> 43:07.442
[SPEAKER_00]: So, him and everybody else was so shocked that these Reddit guys are like really bumping up GameStop, and it was getting more and more expensive, and someone actually tried to commit, nope, they didn't try.
43:07.702 --> 43:09.703
[SPEAKER_00]: Someone did, oh, I guess here's a trigger warning,
43:17.683 --> 43:46.670
[SPEAKER_00]: account went in the red by millions because so some Wall Street guy must have been right I don't know had I don't remember this part and this part doesn't happen in the movie it does not like they off themselves because they lost so much money in stocks and I think it was a broke person I think it was someone who needed the money who was like oh I'm in the hole now oh maybe I don't know
43:48.102 --> 43:52.183
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't say it was on the, um, maybe it wasn't the GameStop account.
43:52.203 --> 43:53.383
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't say the GameStop account.
43:53.403 --> 43:54.603
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe it's just in general.
43:55.104 --> 43:59.444
[SPEAKER_00]: So part of Jim's job is to create the Lingo on the app.
43:59.905 --> 44:03.565
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, to make sure that this does not happen again or something like that.
44:04.726 --> 44:05.846
[SPEAKER_01]: That part does not happen.
44:05.866 --> 44:07.806
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't even think Jim exists in the movie.
44:08.606 --> 44:09.127
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think so.
44:11.487 --> 44:15.428
[SPEAKER_00]: So we're with our nurse Kim and a patient in her are talking.
44:17.189 --> 44:41.585
[SPEAKER_00]: and they're looking at all the news articles and everything and slamming the reddit people and the owner of the uh... oh sucks the owner of bar stool which is like ice i see them on tiktok they just post usually sports stuff so i wonder okay uh... they probably post whatever is popular relevant yeah
44:42.372 --> 44:49.335
[SPEAKER_00]: They basically were like, hey, this sucks for Wall Street, but you know what, there's new people in the game and they just got to get over it and deal with it.
44:50.355 --> 44:54.857
[SPEAKER_00]: And Kim's $5,000 and now up to $16,000.
44:55.998 --> 44:59.960
[SPEAKER_00]: And Keith is over $3 million, our cat poster guy.
45:01.680 --> 45:07.703
[SPEAKER_01]: I wish, I wish, I should have, I should have, I don't know, I love lives be right now.
45:13.919 --> 45:14.463
[SPEAKER_00]: Mild.
45:15.582 --> 45:17.263
[SPEAKER_01]: Although you want to know something funny.
45:17.463 --> 45:18.704
[SPEAKER_01]: Here's a side tangent for us.
45:19.745 --> 45:25.568
[SPEAKER_01]: The last few nights I've been having dreams that I go to Disneyland to ride the Star Wars ride I've never ridden.
45:26.429 --> 45:29.591
[SPEAKER_01]: And for some reason, there is always like the first night.
45:30.811 --> 45:35.274
[SPEAKER_01]: What happened was I got to the ride and it broke down.
45:35.314 --> 45:41.238
[SPEAKER_01]: They literally were like letting me on the ride and they're like, oh shoot, sorry, you can't get on.
45:41.298 --> 45:43.179
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like continuing to walk on.
45:45.680 --> 45:46.460
[SPEAKER_01]: It's broken down.
45:46.480 --> 45:47.221
[SPEAKER_01]: You have to come back.
45:47.241 --> 45:49.481
[SPEAKER_01]: I was like, are you kidding me?
45:50.042 --> 45:54.383
[SPEAKER_01]: And then last night you were in my last night stream.
45:55.124 --> 45:59.165
[SPEAKER_01]: And we had gone and we were trying to
46:11.246 --> 46:12.467
[SPEAKER_01]: I know, I want to go.
46:12.487 --> 46:14.888
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if that's true.
46:14.908 --> 46:17.070
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me before I blast it everywhere.
46:17.130 --> 46:17.950
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me double check.
46:19.511 --> 46:20.652
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I would be so happy.
46:21.292 --> 46:34.620
[SPEAKER_01]: But uh, so I was trying to figure out because freaking in my dream, California Adventure is massive, and there was like six different parks within California Adventure that I was like, I have to do all of these.
46:35.634 --> 46:39.916
[SPEAKER_01]: But then I realized I was like, shit, I still haven't rode that star wars bread.
46:39.936 --> 46:43.137
[SPEAKER_01]: I need to go ride that and you're like, yeah, let's go.
46:44.458 --> 46:48.419
[SPEAKER_01]: And I realized that because also in my dream, the park's close at four.
46:49.780 --> 46:50.580
[SPEAKER_00]: It was three.
46:50.600 --> 46:53.382
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, we have an hour to run over there.
46:54.602 --> 46:55.562
[SPEAKER_00]: We did not make it.
46:55.883 --> 46:58.724
[SPEAKER_01]: We also ended up, you want to hear something hilarious.
46:59.104 --> 47:01.205
[SPEAKER_01]: We ended up somehow.
47:02.544 --> 47:15.527
[SPEAKER_01]: somewhere where a bunch of famous people were like, I remember Harry Styles was there, Hugh Grant was there, there was so many people when we ended up in this like weird ride thing that was just I'm talking about, you ready for this?
47:15.747 --> 47:15.987
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
47:17.087 --> 47:20.068
[SPEAKER_01]: Talking about what books they wanted adapted into movies.
47:21.048 --> 47:22.249
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, what's your brain been?
47:22.269 --> 47:23.889
[SPEAKER_00]: I know.
47:25.330 --> 47:28.893
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, no, I need to kill the Star Wars ride.
47:30.695 --> 47:33.797
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm like making us run away from that ride.
47:36.519 --> 47:37.160
[SPEAKER_01]: I will go up.
47:38.061 --> 47:39.482
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's where my money would have gone.
47:39.782 --> 47:42.044
[SPEAKER_01]: I would have just gone to Disneyland to shit ton of times.
47:42.545 --> 47:43.185
[SPEAKER_01]: That's so nice.
47:43.725 --> 47:47.769
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, no, they're not getting rid of the park hopper.
47:48.409 --> 47:52.413
[SPEAKER_00]: What they're doing is getting rid of the 11 a.m. restriction.
47:53.833 --> 47:54.393
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, that's good.
47:54.593 --> 47:56.554
[SPEAKER_01]: The eye hated when they put that in place.
47:56.995 --> 48:00.597
[SPEAKER_01]: That used to not be a thing forever ago when I first started going Disneyland.
48:00.637 --> 48:01.257
[SPEAKER_00]: I know I think they were.
48:01.277 --> 48:02.838
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I started for COVID.
48:06.540 --> 48:08.201
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, so they got rid of it.
48:08.601 --> 48:19.546
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, so you just have to say, I'm gonna start in Disneyland, but honestly, you just go there and then you can pop over to Calgary, which is so freaking nice because I hated having to wait.
48:20.267 --> 48:22.408
[SPEAKER_01]: I was wild, I didn't even know you had to wait.
48:23.718 --> 48:24.178
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you do.
48:24.958 --> 48:25.779
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, not anymore.
48:25.799 --> 48:28.000
[SPEAKER_00]: Do that though, and just let us go either way.
48:30.881 --> 48:31.081
[SPEAKER_00]: I won't.
48:31.461 --> 48:37.723
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyways, I want to get that right before people from California are like, excuse me, actually, actually.
48:38.944 --> 48:39.664
[SPEAKER_00]: You're incorrect.
48:42.005 --> 48:42.525
[SPEAKER_00]: That sounds fun.
48:42.565 --> 48:43.205
[SPEAKER_00]: We should go dizzy.
48:43.805 --> 48:44.426
[SPEAKER_00]: Is that what you're doing?
48:44.466 --> 48:44.926
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, let's do it.
48:45.706 --> 48:46.787
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think so.
48:47.327 --> 48:48.067
[SPEAKER_00]: I think so.
48:48.087 --> 48:52.269
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, OK.
48:54.963 --> 48:58.604
[SPEAKER_00]: Now Elon Musk is coming into the story, right?
48:58.624 --> 48:59.305
[SPEAKER_01]: This is the name, right?
48:59.965 --> 49:00.485
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep.
49:00.505 --> 49:02.646
[SPEAKER_00]: He is eating a turn-up smoothie apparently.
49:02.666 --> 49:18.312
[SPEAKER_00]: He got from Mars down in his secret bunker where he uses flamethrowers and he's super excited about this game stop thing because he's pissed off at all the stock people for crap and on him when he was down, he was sad already about something.
49:18.712 --> 49:19.653
[SPEAKER_00]: And they were all mean to him.
49:20.033 --> 49:22.314
[SPEAKER_00]: So he's like, yeah, let's do it for the little guys.
49:22.795 --> 49:26.917
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm like 90% sure this part's all made up, but I wouldn't be surprised at the same time.
49:26.977 --> 49:28.038
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, isn't what?
49:28.438 --> 49:28.738
[SPEAKER_01]: No.
49:29.139 --> 49:30.680
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's a senior bunker.
49:31.420 --> 49:33.001
[SPEAKER_01]: And he grows turn up that part.
49:34.102 --> 49:38.725
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he said all of this in interviews is why I got included.
49:39.405 --> 49:43.568
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so who knows for real if he has all that shit, but he's but
49:52.495 --> 49:52.876
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
49:54.317 --> 49:57.359
[SPEAKER_01]: Thankfully, they did not bring you on into it.
49:58.120 --> 49:58.620
[SPEAKER_00]: Not at all.
49:59.301 --> 50:01.243
[SPEAKER_00]: They're I'm going to do an interview right now, too.
50:01.523 --> 50:13.633
[SPEAKER_00]: I have a secret bunker and in my secret bunker instead of flame throwers, we use spaghetti cannons and we work spaghetti all over each other and I didn't get a
50:22.238 --> 50:23.078
[SPEAKER_00]: Now it's been nice.
50:23.579 --> 50:24.319
[SPEAKER_00]: Now it's been said.
50:25.220 --> 50:25.820
[SPEAKER_00]: It's true.
50:26.520 --> 50:27.120
[SPEAKER_01]: It's true.
50:27.921 --> 50:31.303
[SPEAKER_01]: I've seen it with my own eyes.
50:34.544 --> 50:34.864
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
50:36.405 --> 50:39.687
[SPEAKER_00]: So panic setting in at Wall Street and everybody's yelling, bye, bye, bye.
50:39.727 --> 50:41.848
[SPEAKER_00]: But GameStop is like two expensive.
50:41.928 --> 50:44.409
[SPEAKER_00]: No one can buy it anymore except by GameStop.
50:45.550 --> 50:47.671
[SPEAKER_01]: Or buy Wall Street.
50:47.691 --> 50:48.951
[SPEAKER_00]: You think they would be able to afford it.
50:49.272 --> 50:50.232
[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't know.
50:52.623 --> 50:58.165
[SPEAKER_01]: they didn't want to buy it because it was their own money that they would have to pay out.
50:59.125 --> 51:00.066
[SPEAKER_01]: That was the problem.
51:00.486 --> 51:00.786
[SPEAKER_00]: Got it.
51:01.907 --> 51:02.787
[SPEAKER_00]: They needed more.
51:02.867 --> 51:07.609
[SPEAKER_01]: They needed people to sell so that the money would get brought back up.
51:08.809 --> 51:10.650
[SPEAKER_01]: But more people were buying the money.
51:10.930 --> 51:11.550
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah.
51:13.431 --> 51:14.071
[SPEAKER_00]: That does happen.
51:21.035 --> 51:31.505
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, now we have details about this guy who's gonna be a baseball player and then he quit, is this the Ken Griffin, okay, oh, I think so.
51:31.525 --> 51:32.206
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
51:33.923 --> 51:35.183
[SPEAKER_00]: I really was convinced, watch.
51:35.223 --> 51:36.644
[SPEAKER_00]: I think I even left it in here somewhere.
51:36.884 --> 51:37.664
[SPEAKER_00]: I might have deleted it.
51:38.344 --> 51:40.645
[SPEAKER_00]: That they were talking about Ken Griffey Jr. and I was like, what?
51:40.765 --> 51:41.265
[SPEAKER_00]: A mirror.
51:41.745 --> 51:42.825
[SPEAKER_00]: And then he ended up being a jerk.
51:42.845 --> 51:44.326
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, oh, that's not our guy.
51:45.006 --> 51:47.767
[SPEAKER_00]: Not Ken Griffey.
51:47.807 --> 51:49.867
[SPEAKER_00]: Ken Griffey, though, little girl.
51:52.448 --> 52:17.353
[SPEAKER_00]: He was going to run for governor of California, and then he stopped that too and he's like super into this whole game stop thing and Elon Musk made threat like oh, no, he weighed a tweet and game stop shares went up 60% all he said was game stock and it like skyrocketed because his you know millions and millions of followers were like, yes That does not happen in the movie
52:18.183 --> 52:25.816
[SPEAKER_00]: So pregnant girl was watching stocks like crazy and she hadn't bought any, but I don't she bought her.
52:27.022 --> 52:41.569
[SPEAKER_01]: $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $1, $
52:49.893 --> 53:15.922
[SPEAKER_00]: uh he went to his little study group a college and he's just not paying attention until game stop was brought up and it turns out tumblr or sorry read it was banned they were like they took it down and for harassment he's like what and his friends are all saying it's kind of like a war tactic and now Wall Street is going to attack because the line of communication is gone and he's for leaking out so Jeremy is not a character in the movie but the whole
53:17.873 --> 53:20.594
[SPEAKER_01]: or the reddit does happen in the movie.
53:21.114 --> 53:23.395
[SPEAKER_00]: And this was like shown with these two girls.
53:24.296 --> 53:25.076
[SPEAKER_00]: And they started to react.
53:25.096 --> 53:26.557
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, the college girls.
53:26.857 --> 53:28.337
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, because they're like, I don't know what to do.
53:28.378 --> 53:30.418
[SPEAKER_00]: I've been following, you know, cat guy.
53:30.478 --> 53:32.119
[SPEAKER_00]: And now I can't follow him anymore.
53:32.139 --> 53:32.919
[SPEAKER_00]: Am I supposed to buy him?
53:32.939 --> 53:33.560
[SPEAKER_00]: Am I supposed to sell?
53:33.620 --> 53:34.040
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
53:34.620 --> 53:35.000
[SPEAKER_00]: OK.
53:35.160 --> 53:40.703
[SPEAKER_00]: So the owners of Robinhood wake up one morning and they're in utter shock because someone tried to do something.
53:41.463 --> 53:43.805
[SPEAKER_00]: that was like $3 billion.
53:44.525 --> 53:48.948
[SPEAKER_00]: And they had to give them the money by the end of the day.
53:49.088 --> 53:50.289
[SPEAKER_00]: And they're like, oh, they sold.
53:50.469 --> 53:51.350
[SPEAKER_00]: They sold their stock.
53:51.610 --> 53:51.890
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
53:52.110 --> 53:52.891
[SPEAKER_00]: They sold their stock.
53:52.911 --> 53:54.352
[SPEAKER_00]: For it's like $3 billion.
53:54.812 --> 53:58.315
[SPEAKER_00]: And they're like, we don't have $3 billion to give them.
53:58.335 --> 54:02.457
[SPEAKER_00]: Because I guess it's like almost like, I don't even know how, but they actually have to give them the money.
54:02.577 --> 54:03.458
[SPEAKER_00]: And they don't have the money.
54:03.938 --> 54:07.201
[SPEAKER_01]: And so I know, I figured this part out.
54:07.301 --> 54:07.761
[SPEAKER_01]: Basically,
54:09.722 --> 54:14.063
[SPEAKER_01]: when they, like, when they buy the stock, the money goes into the pot, right?
54:14.263 --> 54:14.463
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
54:15.383 --> 54:24.305
[SPEAKER_01]: And so that is, I think, supposed to then invest and grow over time, but because of how big GameStop had gotten, it wasn't growing fast enough.
54:24.805 --> 54:28.746
[SPEAKER_01]: So then when people started selling, all the money just depleted.
54:29.186 --> 54:35.508
[SPEAKER_01]: So then they had to start paying it out of Robinhood's money, not out of the stock's money.
54:36.148 --> 54:36.648
[SPEAKER_01]: got it.
54:37.209 --> 54:44.334
[SPEAKER_00]: So they're like we need to sell three or we need to give them three million dollars and they're like we don't have that.
54:44.915 --> 54:47.857
[SPEAKER_00]: And so they're kind of trying to freak out and figure it out.
54:48.237 --> 54:49.719
[SPEAKER_00]: And then they got a message or something.
54:51.720 --> 55:13.100
[SPEAKER_00]: something they decided okay we're gonna make it so people cannot buy games stop right now like they'll be able to sell it like they're not locked in like they're not screwed out like oh great it's dropping I can't do anything so they're like this is okay and right when they did that the people who did the 3 million came back with like 750,000 they're like we'll be good with that don't
55:13.720 --> 55:18.563
[SPEAKER_00]: So it was like a total sleazy, sucky, Wall Street thing to do.
55:18.723 --> 55:20.304
[SPEAKER_01]: Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
55:20.885 --> 55:22.826
[SPEAKER_01]: This does happen in the movie.
55:23.026 --> 55:30.350
[SPEAKER_01]: And at this point in the movie, too, the two people, like the Robin Hood creators in the book, they seem like they were always on the same page.
55:30.991 --> 55:34.793
[SPEAKER_01]: In the movie, Sebastian Stan, what's his name?
55:34.913 --> 55:39.976
[SPEAKER_00]: Sebastian Stanley, Sebastian Stan, or is it Stanley or just Stan?
55:40.477 --> 55:41.557
[SPEAKER_01]: Sebastian Stan.
55:43.139 --> 55:48.067
[SPEAKER_01]: His character is kind of a sleaze ball who basically, like, stabs his friend in the back.
55:48.808 --> 55:49.389
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
55:49.709 --> 55:50.891
[SPEAKER_00]: Hmm.
55:50.911 --> 55:51.953
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
55:52.762 --> 55:56.604
[SPEAKER_00]: So Keith is kind of just sitting there looking at the aftermath of what has happened.
55:57.625 --> 56:02.968
[SPEAKER_00]: And someone blew up online, yelling at Robin Hood and saying, like, how they're not helping the little people anymore.
56:03.008 --> 56:05.709
[SPEAKER_00]: They're just helping the big companies based on what they had just done.
56:06.250 --> 56:13.514
[SPEAKER_00]: And a lot of people are leaving the app and it's getting lots of negative review reviews and Keith decided he started with nothing.
56:13.594 --> 56:14.815
[SPEAKER_00]: So he's gotten nothing to lose.
56:14.995 --> 56:17.716
[SPEAKER_00]: So he's not going to sell his shares even though he's at $33 million.
56:22.619 --> 56:23.619
[SPEAKER_00]: Self-three million of it.
56:23.780 --> 56:24.340
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll be good.
56:24.500 --> 56:25.040
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll be good.
56:25.100 --> 56:27.581
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, then the 30-30 likes keep grown.
56:28.862 --> 56:29.542
[SPEAKER_01]: Exactly.
56:29.842 --> 56:30.242
[SPEAKER_01]: Exactly.
56:30.262 --> 56:34.024
[SPEAKER_01]: If we lose, if we lose of 30 million at least, we got three million.
56:34.144 --> 56:35.644
[SPEAKER_01]: Exactly.
56:36.885 --> 56:38.165
[SPEAKER_01]: But let's keep something here.
56:39.726 --> 56:40.206
[SPEAKER_00]: Gosh.
56:41.467 --> 56:42.467
[SPEAKER_01]: I guess that does happen.
56:43.848 --> 56:49.750
[SPEAKER_00]: So Jeremy's super depressed is just kind of laying their own because his communication has been cut off and everything like that.
56:50.154 --> 56:52.656
[SPEAKER_00]: His brother come over and he's like, hey, dude, what the heck?
56:52.676 --> 56:54.057
[SPEAKER_00]: Why haven't you sold yet?
56:54.137 --> 56:59.681
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's like, I'm not gonna sell because no one, like, I did this to stick it to the man.
56:59.741 --> 57:01.122
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, like, you don't understand.
57:02.003 --> 57:04.885
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's just looking at memes and stuff.
57:04.905 --> 57:09.648
[SPEAKER_00]: And he finally sees a couple like an inch of turtle and an iron giant one that hit him.
57:09.968 --> 57:12.971
[SPEAKER_00]: And he finally decided, all right, it's time to sell.
57:13.511 --> 57:18.214
[SPEAKER_00]: And so he sold and made, like he sold it, did he put a hundred in or something?
57:18.254 --> 57:19.055
[SPEAKER_00]: And he made a thousand.
57:19.155 --> 57:19.836
[SPEAKER_00]: or something like that.
57:19.856 --> 57:20.637
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what it was.
57:20.737 --> 57:21.038
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
57:21.759 --> 57:25.705
[SPEAKER_00]: And so he called his brother and his dad and he's like felt so much relief that he was out.
57:25.745 --> 57:26.746
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I just like I'm done.
57:27.047 --> 57:30.251
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I did it over at that part does not happen in the movie.
57:30.752 --> 57:33.676
[SPEAKER_00]: So Kim is on her way to visit her friend in Arizona.
57:34.237 --> 57:48.945
[SPEAKER_00]: a couple weeks ago she's like really excited for this trip but she almost canceled it due to game stop and she couldn't focus and she was really upset because she would be on a plane for like a couple hours and not be able to check her stocks and um she's like what should I do?
57:49.045 --> 58:01.252
[SPEAKER_00]: She called her friend up and he's like I can't tell you what to do because you're going to do whatever you want anyways and that kind of made her happy because she's like you're right and she was trying to decide if she was going to sell or buy more and she hasn't decided
58:04.033 --> 58:07.657
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, so we have our pregnant mama, she's out in the snow and Valentine's Day morning.
58:07.697 --> 58:12.321
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like 1 a.m. and her stock crashes below what she bought it for.
58:12.441 --> 58:16.725
[SPEAKER_00]: But that's okay because she's content and she's just, that's fine.
58:16.745 --> 58:21.790
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that was mix of America's character, right?
58:21.870 --> 58:25.474
[SPEAKER_01]: That makes sense, yeah, because America's character in the book, she actually sells.
58:26.287 --> 58:28.008
[SPEAKER_00]: But then the movie, she doesn't sell.
58:28.769 --> 58:30.430
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, and this happens to her.
58:30.550 --> 58:33.632
[SPEAKER_00]: She ends up going, I don't know, she went low.
58:33.752 --> 58:35.714
[SPEAKER_00]: She did go lower than she bought it for, yeah.
58:36.334 --> 58:38.535
[SPEAKER_01]: A, a, a, a, a bummer.
58:38.575 --> 58:40.377
[SPEAKER_00]: See, my thoughts are like, with stocks.
58:40.437 --> 58:41.798
[SPEAKER_00]: Why don't I just not sell them?
58:42.118 --> 58:43.679
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's just going to be there forever.
58:43.859 --> 58:45.260
[SPEAKER_00]: And then that I don't have to sell it.
58:45.300 --> 58:45.901
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't have to buy.
58:45.921 --> 58:46.481
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just there.
58:46.601 --> 58:47.522
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, exactly.
58:47.662 --> 58:51.124
[SPEAKER_01]: I, that's why I would say if you're going to do it, do it with one of the cheap ones.
58:51.184 --> 58:53.866
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't write with a hundred and some one, but yeah.
58:53.926 --> 58:58.649
[SPEAKER_00]: because it could go way down, and I wouldn't have to sell it unless it, like, paid out, right?
58:58.729 --> 59:01.651
[SPEAKER_00]: Unless the company went crippled and it was over.
59:02.551 --> 59:03.252
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, right?
59:03.312 --> 59:04.132
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I don't know.
59:04.273 --> 59:05.934
[SPEAKER_01]: That's how my brain is with stocks, right?
59:05.994 --> 59:06.834
[SPEAKER_01]: I would never sell it.
59:06.914 --> 59:11.517
[SPEAKER_01]: It was less than I bought it for, and if it always, I'm not trying to pay them money, right?
59:11.537 --> 59:13.979
[SPEAKER_00]: And it always stayed less than what I bought it for.
59:13.999 --> 59:17.581
[SPEAKER_00]: I would just have a stock that just sits there and just does it don't think.
59:18.362 --> 59:21.664
[SPEAKER_00]: Imagine, I'm gonna look this up while you're
59:24.600 --> 59:40.206
[SPEAKER_00]: So, um, they're in the Zoom meeting with the Robinhood guys and the Citadel baseball guys, like, can Griffin guy and They're talking and the Robinhood guys are like very defensive about
59:40.733 --> 01:00:00.410
[SPEAKER_00]: hey we did this for a reason and the other guys are like we didn't even talk to Robinhood why why are you coming after us because now all this legal action is happening because people are blaming Robinhood for this and they're like what do you talk about is this guy's fault he came at us for three three million dollars and they're like what are you talking about we didn't do it
01:00:00.790 --> 01:00:07.352
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a whole he said she said crap situation this part is basically the like oh wait No, that part does happen.
01:00:07.832 --> 01:00:17.055
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought we were already to the ball Stuff so Keith is on trial and he tried because he had tried to take down Wall Street and he's like I'm the only like oh
01:00:17.295 --> 01:00:23.397
[SPEAKER_01]: Because standard stocks operate under limited liability, you cannot lose more money than your initial investment.
01:00:23.457 --> 01:00:24.998
[SPEAKER_01]: So no, you would never lose it.
01:00:25.178 --> 01:00:31.320
[SPEAKER_01]: Only time, like it would suck as if the company went bankrupt, but even then you don't owe money.
01:00:33.346 --> 01:00:35.127
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, and how do people lose so much money?
01:00:35.307 --> 01:00:37.228
[SPEAKER_01]: Because they're putting that much money into it.
01:00:37.288 --> 01:00:43.031
[SPEAKER_01]: So like if a person's putting a thousand dollars into it and then the company goes bankrupt, you're out that of a thousand dollars.
01:00:43.191 --> 01:00:44.232
[SPEAKER_01]: You're not getting that back.
01:00:44.552 --> 01:00:44.832
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
01:00:45.052 --> 01:00:47.933
[SPEAKER_00]: So if I put like 20 in and it goes bankrupt, I let's 20.
01:00:48.274 --> 01:00:49.994
[SPEAKER_01]: You're not getting your 20 back, yeah.
01:00:50.034 --> 01:00:52.836
[SPEAKER_01]: But if it doesn't go bankrupt, it might be making money for you.
01:00:54.877 --> 01:00:59.439
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's see, what's Disney at right now?
01:01:01.520 --> 01:01:06.522
[SPEAKER_01]: That's probably an insane stock alley not 20.
01:01:06.562 --> 01:01:09.563
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's see, how much do you think costs for one stock of Disney?
01:01:11.024 --> 01:01:12.104
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to say 500.
01:01:12.585 --> 01:01:13.165
[SPEAKER_00]: For just one?
01:01:14.305 --> 01:01:15.446
[SPEAKER_00]: They're in the right now.
01:01:16.206 --> 01:01:16.926
[SPEAKER_00]: They're only $98.
01:01:19.097 --> 01:01:22.419
[SPEAKER_01]: Wow, they're way cheaper than I thought.
01:01:22.479 --> 01:01:27.043
[SPEAKER_01]: See what you got to do is buy them right before they go up.
01:01:27.723 --> 01:01:30.065
[SPEAKER_00]: Like a big movie or something comes out.
01:01:30.205 --> 01:01:32.066
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh yeah, they sell it after the movie.
01:01:32.406 --> 01:01:42.574
[SPEAKER_00]: Everything except so they have one day option to look at one week, one month, three months, year to date, one year and five years.
01:01:43.614 --> 01:01:45.616
[SPEAKER_00]: And then they have Max, whatever, Max is.
01:01:46.944 --> 01:01:49.788
[SPEAKER_00]: They're in the red for every single option.
01:01:53.173 --> 01:01:54.234
[SPEAKER_00]: That looks for Disney.
01:01:54.434 --> 01:01:55.496
[SPEAKER_01]: Wow, Disney.
01:01:55.736 --> 01:01:59.862
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe you should stop trying to buy for the other fucking studio out there.
01:02:04.600 --> 01:02:05.280
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll find something.
01:02:05.521 --> 01:02:07.442
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to find something and get something.
01:02:08.263 --> 01:02:09.684
[SPEAKER_01]: That will be our next mini soda.
01:02:09.724 --> 01:02:10.444
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
01:02:10.964 --> 01:02:12.125
[SPEAKER_00]: That was my stock to me.
01:02:12.385 --> 01:02:13.826
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll kick off every episode.
01:02:13.866 --> 01:02:15.487
[SPEAKER_00]: Every mini soda with today.
01:02:15.628 --> 01:02:18.189
[SPEAKER_00]: I've made something like that.
01:02:19.730 --> 01:02:20.331
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, me and.
01:02:21.335 --> 01:02:21.615
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
01:02:21.715 --> 01:02:26.377
[SPEAKER_00]: So Keith is on trial because he had tried to take down Wall Street and he's like, that's not what I was doing.
01:02:27.197 --> 01:02:31.459
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's the only one there without like a real fancy title.
01:02:31.759 --> 01:02:34.781
[SPEAKER_00]: But he assured them like, it's not what I was doing.
01:02:35.221 --> 01:02:40.463
[SPEAKER_00]: And while he waited them for deliver and continue the trial, he checked his stocks.
01:02:40.943 --> 01:02:44.846
[SPEAKER_00]: and GameStop is going back up, so he wanted to buy more.
01:02:44.866 --> 01:02:49.830
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep, that happened, and I thought he was so insane when he was like, I'm buying more.
01:02:50.051 --> 01:02:52.352
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, you're on trial, you're on trial right now.
01:02:52.373 --> 01:02:55.595
[SPEAKER_00]: I would've waited until trial was over.
01:02:57.156 --> 01:03:22.850
[SPEAKER_00]: So we're introduced to some other guys who like their whole thing is to slowly buy stocks to try and like own bits of the company So they like they'll buy a little bit and then they'll buy a little bit more and then a little bit more and finally they'll own like 51% of the company And so it's primarily theirs and they barely slowly tried to do that with game stop It's for this whole thing happened and they eventually got to 5% maybe they weren't trying to get up to
01:03:23.250 --> 01:03:23.731
[SPEAKER_00]: 51%.
01:03:23.811 --> 01:03:49.274
[SPEAKER_00]: It was like 7% or something was their goal to earn that much of the company and so like got 5% which was I guess pretty high and what they were trying to do and it started to go down and so they were really unnoticed like because because people try I guess trying to stop them or something like that they were like controversial or they had to report it or something something like this I don't know.
01:03:50.074 --> 01:03:54.975
[SPEAKER_00]: And because it was on the GameStop had his own little issues going on, they're like, okay, now it's the time to buy.
01:03:55.276 --> 01:03:57.196
[SPEAKER_00]: So they were able to buy a bunch.
01:03:58.376 --> 01:04:05.058
[SPEAKER_00]: And on my birthday, as when Elon Musk posted the GameStox thing.
01:04:06.018 --> 01:04:08.559
[SPEAKER_00]: And they made $700 million.
01:04:09.299 --> 01:04:10.060
[SPEAKER_00]: But they wanted more.
01:04:10.140 --> 01:04:11.220
[SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, greedy.
01:04:13.532 --> 01:04:15.994
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep, I wish I made $700 million.
01:04:16.095 --> 01:04:17.536
[SPEAKER_00]: Just like that, that's like overnight.
01:04:17.556 --> 01:04:19.237
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, $700 million.
01:04:19.758 --> 01:04:21.059
[SPEAKER_01]: Easy, got this.
01:04:22.019 --> 01:04:24.041
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, that does not happen in the movie.
01:04:24.822 --> 01:04:25.062
[SPEAKER_01]: Nope.
01:04:26.353 --> 01:04:32.258
[SPEAKER_00]: And then we get details on GameStop's owners and management and some step-down and other stepped in.
01:04:32.298 --> 01:04:38.443
[SPEAKER_00]: It was like all the aftermath of this whole thing that happened and how they're working to go towards an online platform now.
01:04:38.763 --> 01:04:42.706
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep, they still have not done that.
01:04:43.047 --> 01:04:48.591
[SPEAKER_01]: And that part, I mean, we get a little like, we get written words on what everyone's up to now.
01:04:49.132 --> 01:04:50.153
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, cool.
01:04:50.173 --> 01:04:50.373
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
01:04:50.573 --> 01:04:51.013
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's it.
01:04:52.174 --> 01:04:52.695
[SPEAKER_01]: We did it.
01:04:52.795 --> 01:04:53.916
[SPEAKER_01]: Sweet, we did.
01:04:56.930 --> 01:04:59.173
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I have to be cast ninety five people.
01:05:01.036 --> 01:05:01.977
[SPEAKER_00]: We got to all right.
01:05:02.417 --> 01:05:03.619
[SPEAKER_00]: Dan, I don't play Keith.
01:05:04.741 --> 01:05:06.122
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I love him in this role.
01:05:06.483 --> 01:05:07.004
[SPEAKER_00]: I know too.
01:05:07.164 --> 01:05:08.145
[SPEAKER_00]: What else do I know him in?
01:05:08.806 --> 01:05:10.088
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know why you would know him in.
01:05:10.596 --> 01:05:11.496
[SPEAKER_01]: He's in the Batman.
01:05:12.777 --> 01:05:13.197
[SPEAKER_01]: He's in.
01:05:13.857 --> 01:05:14.497
[SPEAKER_01]: He's scared.
01:05:15.617 --> 01:05:16.458
[SPEAKER_01]: No, not that one.
01:05:16.578 --> 01:05:17.858
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, he's in 12 years slave.
01:05:17.898 --> 01:05:18.278
[SPEAKER_00]: That's right.
01:05:18.678 --> 01:05:20.819
[SPEAKER_00]: He was a, oh, that's how I know him.
01:05:20.859 --> 01:05:22.639
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a jerk or just that's how I know him.
01:05:22.699 --> 01:05:23.519
[SPEAKER_01]: That's how you know him.
01:05:23.679 --> 01:05:24.420
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:05:24.800 --> 01:05:25.600
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep, he was good.
01:05:26.160 --> 01:05:28.241
[SPEAKER_01]: When we cover Rob's Batman, you'll know him.
01:05:28.521 --> 01:05:28.861
[SPEAKER_01]: Got it.
01:05:29.941 --> 01:05:33.802
[SPEAKER_01]: We have Pete Davidson, Clay Kevin, his brother.
01:05:35.243 --> 01:05:41.868
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they just needed a comedic character and that's why they made Kevin and Cass Pete.
01:05:42.188 --> 01:05:43.709
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he was hilarious for what he was.
01:05:46.351 --> 01:05:50.574
[SPEAKER_00]: Vincent D. Offrell, for no.
01:05:52.549 --> 01:05:53.450
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not free.
01:05:53.470 --> 01:05:54.430
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not free.
01:05:54.450 --> 01:05:55.091
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not free.
01:05:55.651 --> 01:05:58.973
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not even going to say, I know how to say his name and how I just renew this.
01:05:58.993 --> 01:06:00.434
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to say his name and how I just renew this.
01:06:00.554 --> 01:06:02.115
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to say his name and how I just renew this.
01:06:02.135 --> 01:06:05.658
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to say his name and how I just renew this.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not going to say his name and how I just renew this.
01:06:20.927 --> 01:06:21.788
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not going to say his name
01:06:22.807 --> 01:06:29.010
[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry, we can't say your name man, but you didn't get a America for our app late Jenny.
01:06:29.030 --> 01:06:29.770
[SPEAKER_00]: She was our nurse.
01:06:30.090 --> 01:06:30.790
[SPEAKER_00]: She did really good.
01:06:31.070 --> 01:06:32.391
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I like her lot.
01:06:33.371 --> 01:06:35.652
[SPEAKER_00]: Nick Offerman, played Ken Griffin.
01:06:36.072 --> 01:06:37.093
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, he was so good.
01:06:37.113 --> 01:06:37.853
[SPEAKER_01]: And this role.
01:06:39.074 --> 01:06:43.615
[SPEAKER_01]: Even with getting the threats that probably added to the what is it
01:06:50.473 --> 01:06:55.356
[SPEAKER_00]: Anthony Ramos played Marcos, who's the game stop-in-play.
01:06:55.496 --> 01:06:55.716
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
01:06:57.437 --> 01:06:58.138
[SPEAKER_01]: He didn't even so good.
01:06:58.178 --> 01:06:58.718
[SPEAKER_01]: I love him.
01:06:58.918 --> 01:06:59.118
[SPEAKER_01]: Right?
01:06:59.458 --> 01:07:00.259
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it was really good.
01:07:02.030 --> 01:07:08.513
[SPEAKER_00]: Seth Roganplay gave the Wall Street guy wake up or he wake up with.
01:07:09.414 --> 01:07:12.795
[SPEAKER_01]: He started the book with he did really good.
01:07:12.875 --> 01:07:14.336
[SPEAKER_01]: I like seeing him and rolls like this.
01:07:14.636 --> 01:07:15.797
[SPEAKER_01]: I know because he was serious.
01:07:17.677 --> 01:07:22.820
[SPEAKER_00]: Sebastian Stan played the lad who was one of our Robinhood creators.
01:07:24.384 --> 01:07:25.205
[SPEAKER_01]: He did really good.
01:07:25.565 --> 01:07:26.145
[SPEAKER_01]: I liked him.
01:07:26.365 --> 01:07:28.987
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, even when he was being all scummy.
01:07:29.367 --> 01:07:33.930
[SPEAKER_00]: Shaleen would leave late, Caroline, the wife of what's his name?
01:07:34.231 --> 01:07:34.511
[SPEAKER_00]: Keith.
01:07:34.711 --> 01:07:34.971
[SPEAKER_00]: Keith.
01:07:36.532 --> 01:07:37.733
[SPEAKER_01]: I loved her in this role.
01:07:37.873 --> 01:07:40.375
[SPEAKER_01]: I just did really good, but I think so.
01:07:40.755 --> 01:07:40.995
[SPEAKER_00]: Cool.
01:07:41.055 --> 01:07:44.277
[SPEAKER_00]: Is it the theme of the book and movie the same?
01:07:44.297 --> 01:07:46.359
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yep.
01:07:47.299 --> 01:07:50.722
[SPEAKER_00]: Do the character stay true to how they're written in the movie or in the book?
01:07:52.473 --> 01:07:53.516
[SPEAKER_01]: Only a few of them.
01:07:53.857 --> 01:07:55.963
[SPEAKER_01]: Only the ones that aren't smushed characters.
01:07:56.123 --> 01:07:56.504
[SPEAKER_01]: Mm-hmm.
01:07:56.745 --> 01:07:58.009
[SPEAKER_01]: I think so.
01:07:58.049 --> 01:07:58.370
[SPEAKER_01]: Mm-hmm.
01:07:59.292 --> 01:07:59.774
[SPEAKER_01]: What do you prefer?
01:08:00.034 --> 01:08:00.897
[SPEAKER_01]: I prefer the movie.
01:08:01.701 --> 01:08:04.122
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think I do too.
01:08:04.202 --> 01:08:07.222
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it was I got too bored with the book.
01:08:07.682 --> 01:08:11.223
[SPEAKER_01]: That was my problem in the beginning when we were talking about our thoughts.
01:08:11.383 --> 01:08:20.986
[SPEAKER_01]: I got too bored and too lost with all the stocks talk because I'm just not someone who's into stocks so I didn't get it even with how much he was trying to explain it.
01:08:21.126 --> 01:08:22.406
[SPEAKER_01]: It was not there.
01:08:22.893 --> 01:08:24.675
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think that's my reasoning too.
01:08:25.095 --> 01:08:32.483
[SPEAKER_00]: Like the story wise and like all the truth behind everything, like that I know he did his research and I know that's more accurate than the movie.
01:08:32.944 --> 01:08:40.972
[SPEAKER_00]: That's why I was officially like first leaning towards book better, which is the same reason I think I just book in.
01:08:41.673 --> 01:08:42.574
[SPEAKER_01]: the social network.
01:08:42.594 --> 01:08:49.737
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but I'm just not into stocks and this one was a whole lot more technical written than social network was.
01:08:49.937 --> 01:08:51.638
[SPEAKER_01]: Then it was yeah, exactly.
01:08:51.718 --> 01:09:02.884
[SPEAKER_01]: That one was so like fun and felt like a story and then you would realize like oh shit, it's truth in this story though whereas this one just really felt like all facts.
01:09:03.224 --> 01:09:04.325
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, sorry.
01:09:05.505 --> 01:09:06.306
[SPEAKER_00]: It's okay.
01:09:10.827 --> 01:09:11.107
[SPEAKER_01]: Alright.
01:09:11.408 --> 01:09:13.109
[SPEAKER_01]: So would you recommend it to a friend?
01:09:13.590 --> 01:09:14.030
[SPEAKER_01]: I would.
01:09:14.391 --> 01:09:21.458
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, especially if I knew that they were super into stock, I'd be like, you would probably really like this book, movie for sure, to anyone.
01:09:22.018 --> 01:09:22.198
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
01:09:22.459 --> 01:09:22.839
[SPEAKER_01]: I think so.
01:09:24.040 --> 01:09:24.281
[SPEAKER_00]: Um.
01:09:24.501 --> 01:09:24.761
[SPEAKER_00]: Alright.
01:09:24.801 --> 01:09:26.343
[SPEAKER_00]: We got a website.
01:09:26.623 --> 01:09:27.143
[SPEAKER_01]: Off script.
01:09:27.584 --> 01:09:31.848
[SPEAKER_01]: Two, five, three, don't like site.com slash off script.
01:09:33.541 --> 01:09:35.902
[SPEAKER_00]: There you can read this guide review to us.
01:09:36.462 --> 01:09:41.244
[SPEAKER_00]: We're about to update it for season 99.
01:09:41.504 --> 01:09:42.344
[SPEAKER_00]: Not to be confused.
01:09:42.364 --> 01:09:44.065
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I was with season eight.
01:09:48.186 --> 01:09:49.526
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm a whole season behind, damn it.
01:09:52.140 --> 01:09:54.462
[SPEAKER_00]: On Wednesday, we may have a minisod for you.
01:09:54.622 --> 01:09:55.042
[SPEAKER_01]: We do.
01:09:55.222 --> 01:09:56.323
[SPEAKER_01]: Is it the one that is recorded?
01:09:57.303 --> 01:09:57.904
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.
01:09:57.944 --> 01:10:02.086
[SPEAKER_01]: So we, at least I hope, unless I suck at editing this week.
01:10:02.126 --> 01:10:03.187
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, no, sorry.
01:10:05.368 --> 01:10:06.229
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to try.
01:10:07.630 --> 01:10:08.170
[SPEAKER_01]: That works.
01:10:09.071 --> 01:10:12.753
[SPEAKER_01]: And then Monday, we have a beautiful mind for you.
01:10:13.413 --> 01:10:13.874
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
01:10:14.854 --> 01:10:16.035
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, let's do it.
01:10:16.235 --> 01:10:16.475
[SPEAKER_00]: We do.
01:10:16.495 --> 01:10:17.336
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, yeah.
01:10:22.353 --> 01:10:23.834
[SPEAKER_01]: Went off script.
01:10:24.855 --> 01:10:25.175
