  • Finally, a podcast about two men living in a comedy club and watching Joker 2 nonstop!

    Hilarious, heartwarming and surprisingly educational about the scientific method

  • I am changed

    I love this podcast and I listen every week. I’ve never seen Joker 2 but I loved Joker 1, I even gave it 5 stars on Letterboxed. However, I attempted to watch it again last week and I couldn’t get through the first minutes. I don’t think it’s possible to listen to this podcast and still enjoy Joker 1. There’s no good in it!!!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

REPLAY: Killionaire 11: Julian vs Ryan
Q: Is there a viable path to monetizing such a trillionaire concept through ads and sponsorships?
The hosts discuss the ad revenue and branding angle but acknowledge the trillion-dollar gap, suggesting that even large-scale sponsorship would only make a small dent in the overall funds, so the idea relies on massive audience appeal and media rights.
REPLAY: Killionaire 11: Julian vs Ryan
Q: Which pitch would work best as a branded TV event and why?
Julian's pitch is seen as tightly self-contained and potentially more marketable as a single, tourable concept, while Ryan's plan is expansive and cinematic, offering a broader franchise potential but requiring more resources.
REPLAY: Killionaire TV 8: Will v Joshua
Q: Paperclip plan vs. Elon plan—which do you think better showcases the idea of funding a trillionaire and distributing wealth, while remaining entertaining?
Both ideas showcase different extremes of fundraising and power: one satirizes AI-driven capitalism via paper clips; the other satirizes celebrity-driven media machinery and military contracts, with Joshua's plan winning for its detailed, cinematic execution.
REPLAY: Killionaire TV 8: Will v Joshua
Q: Have you got anything to add before we start asking you some questions?
The pitch diverges into a detailed, multi-phase plan, focusing on AI-driven paper clip production and a separate Hollywood-politics scheme with Elon Musk as Iron Man, highlighting the strategic steps, potential beneficiaries, and ethical blind spots.
REPLAY: Killionaire TV 9: Rose v Ollie
Q: Rose, how would your mentor lottery work and how would you select five groups of five for each billionaire?
Rose explains a tiered, five-by-five mentor lottery where mentors are chosen from a diverse pool and participants are selected through a paid entry process, with winners getting time with big-name mentors.
