Episode 40 - American Tea

Does Tyler actually pitch an idea to use AI to write books or does he have a crisis of conscience? How often do you use Chat-GPT? Do you read physical books or listen to audio books? Will AI be a benefit or detriment to humanity's future?

Jon pitches an idea to get rich by printing money. No, it's not what you think, no counterfeiting involved, but 3D printing things to sell. From action figures like the popular T13 or Warhammer figurines or even missing hooks from your minivan, if you need something plastic, let us know in the comments, maybe we'll print it for you. 00:00 Intro 00:10 Pitch 01:07 Theme Music 01:36 Talking about 3D Printing Part 1 10:00 Fetch Commercial 11:10 Talking about 3D Printing Part 2 23:48 Outro

Jon introduces the newest member of his family, Shelby. Are you a fan of golden retrievers? How much have you paid or would you pay for a golden retriever?

Tyler proposes an idea to try and get rich from nostalgic scents and smells. Jon smells something fishy. Does the smell of cigarettes bring back memories of your childhood? Could smells be used medicinally? What are some of your favorite smelly memories?   00:00 Intro  00:10 Pitch  00:51 Theme Music  01:20 Talking about Smells Part 1  13:41 Bodhi’s Plants Commercial  14:46 Talking about Smells Part 2  22:03 Outro 

Jon wonders if money really can grow on trees and Tyler believes in Jon’s horticultural experience. Is the next nursery they need to build going to be one for plants? Can potted monstera cuttings grow into pots of gold? Do you believe native plants are the best plants to maintain?  00:00 Intro 00:10 Pitch 01:50 Theme Music 02:19 Monstera Cuttings  11:53 Neal’s Knickknacks Commercial  12:35 More Plant Talk  22:10 Outro 

Jon loves wood and proposes an idea to turn lumber into home decor.  Do you, your wife, or your gay BFF like interior decoration?  How much would you pay for a coaster or a collection of twigs?  How much wood could Jon chuck if he were a woodchuck?   01:24 Theme Music 02:39 Talking about Coasters 12:37 American Caffeine Commercial 13:57 Talking about Coasters more 14:31 A Short Tangent 18:30 Twigs 22:00 Raised Beds 25:07 Outro 

Tyler thinks it’s time to read the tea leaves, or at least try to sell some. Jon is familiar with yaupon, a native caffeine rich plant and thinks leaning into his ancestry might be a selling point. Do you enjoy relaxing with a nice cup of tea? Does artisanal compete against fair-trade? And who do we petition to change a scientific name?

Jon and Tyler are back with an idea to get away. Do current events make for better podcasts? Do fathers (or mothers, but let's stay topical) want to get away? How much money would you have to spend to guarantee time for yourself? 00:00 Intro01:32 Pitch02:10 Theme Music02:39 Talking about the Idea Part 113:02 (Funny) Ad Ron's Electronics13:42 Talking about the Idea Part 221:38 Outro

Jon tries to convince Tyler that they can make a lot of money dumpster diving. From no startup cost to it being environmentally friendly, there are many reasons why this is a great idea. Are you familiar with garbage laws? Would you buy a product that came out of a dumpster?

Tyler tries to convince Jon of an old idea to rent chairs and tables for weddings. How many butts does it take to make bank? Can they strike it rich on someone else's vows? Do you know anyone who is getting married?
