1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 1: NASA's offering three million dollars to anyone who can fix

2
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: one tiny, teeny little problem that they're having.

3
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,399
Speaker 2: Okay, let's go. I'll take the three mill broken Jeffrey.

4
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 2: In the morning, I get some duct tape over. But

5
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 2: this is not a joke. This is a serious offer because.

6
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 1: In the news NASA's announced a new mission called the

7
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: Luna Recycled Challenge. Oh that sounds cool, and they're offering

8
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: three million dollars to anybody who could come up with

9
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: a solution for how to dispose of ninety six bags

10
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 1: of astronaut pooh that's been left on the surface of

11
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: the Moon.

12
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,919
Speaker 2: Again, did somebody step in it? This is not a.

13
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 1: Joke because when Apollo astronauts went to the Moon in

14
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 1: the sixties and seventies, they had to dump their duty

15
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: bags on the lunar surface to lighten the weight of

16
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: the spacecraft.

17
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 2: We're American first thing. It's like not picking up after

18
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 2: your dog taking the alne.

19
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: But now fifty years later, it's still all just sitting

20
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 1: up there. So NASA wants to do the right thing

21
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: and fix it. Oh man, why do I want to

22
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: get a telescope out and see if I could see it.

23
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: They plan to send more people up to the Moon

24
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 1: to do something with it.

25
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 2: They're just not exactly sure what that is.

26
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 1: It like with the atmosphere, the zone of oxygen in

27
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: the air to burn fire.

28
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 2: So literal rocket scientists can't figure this out. They're just

29
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 2: gonna have to open a lunar outhouse on the Moon.

30
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 2: But then it's still on the Moon, I know, but

31
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 2: at least it's contained.

32
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: Okay, dig a hole and put it in there, and

33
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: you're like, I dropped my phone. Yeah there's no gravity.

34
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: But yeah, if little rocket scientists can't figure it out,

35
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: I'm sure some average joe can do it.

36
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 2: There's someone running a honeybucket that's got a solution.

37
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: If you can solve it, that's three million dollars in

38
00:01:58,200 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: your pocket.

39
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 2: Imagine the taking.

40
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: But believe it or not, Cleaning up astroturds isn't the

41
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: craziest way that somebody's gotten insanely rich. A recent survey

42
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,959
Speaker 1: found other bizarre methods people have used to make themselves

43
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 1: a lot of money.

44
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 2: Let's go these are also real stories.

45
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 1: A decade ago, my cousin recorded the sound of his

46
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: fan blowing for eight hours. Now he's got over a

47
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:30,679
Speaker 1: billion views on his White Noise YouTube video and it's

48
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 1: one of the top podcasts on Spotify. He brings in

49
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 1: twenty k a week. I gotta say, like millions of

50
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: dollars being made there.

51
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 2: Thought about the people who actually made the sound for

52
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 2: White Noise, Like how easy you just go to your

53
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 2: grandma's house and turn ONDR black and white TV and

54
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 2: stick it recorded up to it. Seriously.

55
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: Another one says a friend of mine once struck it

56
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: rich overnight by selling designer pet rocks online because they

57
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: made him with little outfits and backs. Yeah, it was

58
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 1: a weird, wild idea, but surprisingly it actually took off.

59
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 2: Especially if you can like have different outfits for different

60
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 2: days of the week.

61
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: For another one says, my brother's friend worked minimum wage jobs,

62
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: then he and his wife started buying lube in large

63
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: quantities from overseas.

64
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 2: That's gonna look weird to the neighbors.

65
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, they repackaged it in much smaller quantities and resold

66
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: it on Amazon, just classic middleman stuff. But they made

67
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: so much money they quit their day jobs and haven't

68
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: looked back.

69
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 2: That's amazing. God, do you tell people you're a loop

70
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 2: sales couple? You're an entrepreneur. Yeah, one of those that

71
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 2: you leave it Jeffery keeping them in business. No comment

72
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 2: on that.

73
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: We're looking at a survey that found the craziest and

74
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: weirdest ways people managed to make themselves rich. This one

75
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: says my friend and his brother developed an online game

76
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: where two cowboys walk away from each other, then turn

77
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: around and shoot and one. The game was fully automated.

78
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: All you do is bet money on who you think

79
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: will win. If you get it right, you almost double

80
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: it with five percent going to the house.

81
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 2: Oh my god, so he's making time. He says. They

82
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 2: got unfathomably rich. Oh it's you don't do anything after

83
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 2: you just create this simple game, he says.

84
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: Saw him race sports cars all around the world. Last

85
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: time I checked, though, they went to prison for tax fraud.

86
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 2: Were problems.

87
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: If you're rich, you don't deserve to pay those taxes anyway.

88
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 1: This one says took a business class in college, and

89
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: one of the assignments was to come up with a

90
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: ridiculous fake business.

91
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 2: Okay, one of.

92
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: My classmates decided he was going to sell tumbleweeds, then

93
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: actually followed through with the idea. He takes a van

94
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 1: out to the desert, collects tumble weeds and sold them

95
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: to Hollywood movie studios. Eventually he became the number one

96
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: tumbleweed provider to studios all around the world, shipping tumbleweeds globally.

97
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 2: Cool and I'm gonna start making anvils. Yeah, you have

98
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 2: to pay for those tumbleweeds are free. You need to

99
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 2: like start making sticks or something that they use. And yeah,

100
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 2: you know nobody.

101
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, we were looking at a survey that found the craziest,

102
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: weirdest ways people managed to make themselves rich. Another person said,

103
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 1: my neighbors kids started buying all the domain names in

104
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: the town where I sold real estate. This was back

105
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 1: in two thousand.

106
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,919
Speaker 2: I remember a lot of people were buying domain names

107
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 2: and stuff. We know someone remember that. Yeah, that's because

108
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 2: that was their initials. Yeah, was like a bidding war.

109
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 1: Is that I didn't really understand why I should care

110
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: about any of that. Long story short, go daddy bought

111
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: out this twelve year old kid for two million dollars.

112
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 1: Who I still see him on Facebook traveling around the

113
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: world doing all kinds of cool stuff.

114
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 2: He's thirty five years old. Now, why wasn't I paid

115
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 2: attention in two thousand? Yeah, dang, it.

116
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: We're talking about the craziest, weirdest ways people managed to

117
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: make themselves rich. One says a guy I knew worked

118
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: at a precision molding company.

119
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 2: He had an idea for a.

120
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 1: New plastic bottle that could sit upside down. He got

121
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: a patent and at first design one for shampoo.

122
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

123
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: Then in nineteen ninety one Hines approached him to use

124
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: his design.

125
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 2: Bottle upside down bottle.

126
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: More than seventy five percent of all Ketchup squeezes come

127
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 1: from his inverted design.

128
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 2: Smart, Yeah, brilliant.

129
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: And finally, one says in the nineties, I knew a

130
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 1: guy who placed an ad in the classified section of

131
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 1: the newspaper that said something like, for ten bucks, I'll

132
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 1: tell you my secret to making easy money.

133
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 2: Send ten dollars cash to this address to find out how.

134
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 2: And people felt there.

135
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: Literally hundreds and hundreds of people would send him ten

136
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 1: dollars and then he just instruct them to place their

137
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: own classified.

138
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 2: Doing the same thing.

139
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: Those are the craziest ways people have managed to make

140
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: themselves a giant fortune. Your phone taps coming up right

141
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: after this
