We're gonna believe the creators of the 50 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 1: show or this shelf of cassette tape someone's screen grabbed, 51 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: which GROC says is secretly morse code that says you 52 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: did not stop me. Fuck yeah, potentially VEKNA haunting. 53 00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 3: I mean, I just love that someone really looked at 54 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 3: the order of the cassette tapes and goes, that's morse code. 55 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 2: Right, I'm going to translate that you did not stop me. 56 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: But also I have to assume that this is bullshit, 57 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:14,079 Speaker 1: like the CROC is incorrect. But I think they missed 58 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: an opportunity to do something cool and form breaking, which 59 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: seems in keeping with Netflix. 60 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 3: Do you think the Duffer brothers would have been like, fuck, 61 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 3: we should have done that, dude. 62 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 2: I do wonder. 63 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure they're like too hot, committed to 64 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: their own like this is actually the way it should 65 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,639 Speaker 1: have ended.

We're just going to tell 112 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: you why we're doing this. Anyways. As a little side 113 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: quest in this story, yeah, there was a new Polymarket 114 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 1: account creator. Poly Market is the gambling site that allows 115 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 1: you to gamble on real world events the apocalypse. Yes, 116 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: and there was a new polymarket account created at the 117 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:14,599 Speaker 1: end of last year that suddenly invested heavily around thirteen 118 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 1: thousand dollars on Maduro being quote out by January thirty first, So. 119 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 2: People are like that. 120 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: So that that ended up paying out at four hundred 121 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: and ten thousand dollars a bet, which people are like, hmm, 122 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: that's interesting. 123 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:35,239 Speaker 2: Hyeah. 124 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 1: Usually what gambling sites and casinos would define as a 125 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: suspicious bet, it would probably be oiling up their head 126 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: vices and you know, get getting ready to crack some 127 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: fingers sideways. But because polymarket is explicitly designed to be 128 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 1: a crypto market, that like you are you know you 129 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 1: people use crypto, so it's impossible to trace it. Like 130 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: everything in this administration is just a way to make 131 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: grifting and cheating easier to get away with. 132 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, opacity set to one hundred percent. 133 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: Yes, so online betting on US military invasions isn't totally new. 134 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,679 Speaker 1: Back in two thousand and three, online gambling sites began 135 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: offering odds on whether there will be war between the 136 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 1: US and Iraq. 137 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 2: So I pay for my college. 138 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: But it's just the fact that it's completely crypto and 139 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: therefore tailor made so harder trading. It seems like it 140 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: was designed by people to make it possible. 141 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 2: Well, every inside her trade. 142 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 3: Every level you zoom out on, the story gets darker 143 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 3: and darker because so one version is like someone made 144 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 3: it bet for thirteen thousand dollars. It may a four 145 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 3: hundred k on like Maduro being out by the thirty first, 146 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 3: and then you're like, okay, what is this polymarket? 147 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 2: And the You're like, what else has been going on?

The US are out further and you're like, 150 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 3: Donald Trump Junior is an advice the. 151 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: Advisor to the company. His venture capital firm invested in 152 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: the company, and he's become a major advisor. 153 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 3: Dad, Dad, you guys gonna take Maduro by I don't 154 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 3: know the thirty first or what do what do you 155 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 3: think of that? 156 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 2: God?
