Squid Game Theory: Can Money buy happiness?


Listen Later

Today we confront the question we've all pondered. Can money buy happiness? If so, why did the VIPs in Squid Game watch the games? Squid Game's popularity went beyond mainstream media and garnered global attention. However, was it more popular than Netflix's Bird Box or Stranger Things? Boats, guns, girls, parties, and loads of cash. Steven discusses Dan Bilzerian's rise to fame and the strategy he used to get there. Have you ever heard of Neal Shusterman's book Unwind? Find out how this book was a defining moment in Pedro and Steven's friendship. We end this show with a closer. Pedro explains why Dave Chappelle's comedy special, "The Closer," was like a novel with the pieces shifted around.
