If You had a Billion Dollars... - a podcast by Manny Oso & Nicky Trendz

Morning Duckies!
It’s Monday, and man what a week it’s been! The world has been glued to the screens for updates on the recent submarine disaster with extreme-tourism company OceanGate Expeditions, in which 4 Passengers and the company CEO all died. For a week we were all wondering what happened, how they were going to be saved and how long they had to do it. The details that came out day by day were stunning.
By now you’ve all heard the news. The sub imploded, instant death, cavalier CEO, little-to-no oversight… - - it was a recipe for disaster. Nicky and Manny make sure to go over those details.

But another question comes up. WTF are billionaires spending their money on? This kinda thing never slows down an industry. Manny Brings up Ice Climbing and Heli-Skiing and BASE Jumping. But wonders, what’s the reason behind that? What are you discovering?

And Nicky can’t stop but muddle over the numbers. $450Million Yacht? $48Million Mercedes? $1k to touch it?! Really? $15k to climb Mt Everest? What are you gonna do when you get up there?

Most of this stuff looks pretty dangerous guys, so why eat the rich, just let them eat themselves!

But anyways, you tell us!
- What form of Extreme Tourism attracts you?
- Should billionaires just GIVE their money to the scientists, and just stay home?
- Would you rather see Zuckerberg vs Musk on UFC or WWE?
