In this episode, Eric and Josh talk about Dumb Money, a movie streaming on Netflix.

They use the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jimmy V 1993 ESPY Speech⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ – Did it hold them in thought, make them laugh, and move their emotions to tears — while interweaving the movie's narratives with their life narratives.

The description on Netflix for Dumb Money reads: “When a rogue investor and basement YouTuber pours his passion — and savings — into the failing company GameStop, it turns Wall Street upside-down.” 

The conversation includes discussion about the movie and their personal investment experiences on Robinhood during the actual GameStop saga, revealing their major losses. Josh is currently down 93% all time. They deliberate on the chaotic nature of the stock market, share their views on 'chase buying' and urge listeners to learn from their mistakes. The discussion also wanders into other topics such as their favorite Wingstop and Buffalo Wild Wings flavors because Eric brought a Wingstop combo into a movie but thinks it isn’t as outlandish as Josh bringing an orange to snack on mid-movie.
