We go over some of the classic pre-maturely cancelled TV shows: Firefly, Freaks and Geeks, Undeclared, etc. Then we move on to talking about some of our favorite fallen musicians (Led Zeppelin, Nirvana, Biggie Smalls, Tupac, etc.).

We have a very lively “Bonus Fool” (trademark pending), Mr. Eric Kline. He joins Chris Gibbs, Michael Brazell, and Adam Aldous while we talk about what it’s like to live and visit a true small town in the U.S. of A. There are some pretty crazy stories Chris, Mike, Adam and Eric share from their time in Flyover Country. We finish things off with a few drunken rants from Eric and Chris as they go off on the unfortunate reputation and manipulation Small Towns receive. Things get a little hairy and borderline political at the end, but it’s worth it to hear Eric go off on how crazy things get when the best hangout spot in town is the local Wal-Mart. The only link we have to show you today is the GLORIOUS picture of Eric Kline with his long hair in a football jersey (http://www.nmnathletics.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=64626&SPID=7153&DB_OEM_ID=15000&ATCLID=205242470&Q_SEASON=2012).

Chris Gibbs, Mike Brazell, Adam Aldous, and Sam Wilkinson dig into these idioms to see if they actually make practical sense. It turns out that some of them make a bit of sense, but for the most part, we don’t recommend living by aphorisms because they frequently miss the point. If we leave you with anything though, have it be that people in glass houses should take the bird in hand instead of killing the two in the bush with one stone.…

Well this episode won’t help with that, but we do talk about the insane stuff only a billionaire can get away with. The game changing realization is that when television tries to mimic stupid stuff real-life billionaires do, they have to water it down because people won’t believe anyone would do something so crazy. We have our first “Bonus Fool” (trademark pending) Casey Larson joining Chris Gibbs, Michael Brazell, Adam Aldous and Sam Wilkinson this week. We talk about things like the driving habits of tech billionaires like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, hedge-fund owners that play poker with budgets bigger than some country’s GDPs, and add-ons you can buy for your yacht or house. Here are some links to these stories: -Steve Jobs puts his feet in toilets (http://thescienceexplorer.com/humanity/5-strange-things-you-probably-didn-t-know-about-steve-jobs) -“More Money than God” (https://www.barnesandnoble.com/p/more-money-than-god-sebastian-mallaby/1100257890/2685717827072?st=PLA&sid=BNB_DRS_New+Marketplace+Shopping+Books_00000000&2sid=Google_&sourceId=PLGoP164949&gclid=EAIaIQobChMImOOJwdTv2wIVVVuGCh1_jQAIEAQYASABEgJbPvD_BwE) -New York Mag Dot Com (http://nymag.com/)…
We Want S'Moore's Law - Ep. 7 - The Greater Fools On this episode of TGF, we're talking about exponential growth. We start with the crazy concept one of the co-founders of Intel discovered (Moore's Law), and we chase that idea of exponential growth in technology down the rabbit hole. We talk how it has affected our lives, and where that concept takes us into the future. Then we branch out and talk about exponential growth in other industries other than tech. As with a few of our episodes, we are talking about something that we barely understand, so if you're confused during the podcast, don't worry, so were we! -What is Moore's Law (https://www.investopedia.com/terms/m/mooreslaw.asp)…

You’re going to hear some of the best Amazon product reviews, sad yelp stories, beautiful movie/youtube review stories, and reviews of the review sites.

We saw Mark Zuckerberg explain to Congress how Facebook magically makes money using the apparently huge trade secret of advertising.
