The Cash Exchange Podcast

It's summer! That means hanging out at the beach, traveling across the country, or maybe even spending an entire day and countless dollars to ride 3 rides and end up with the worst sunburn of your life. This episode we talk theme parks. How they were before, how they are now, our memories of them, and our overall opinion. I even get into my recent trip to SeaWorld and all the foolery that happened...

Have you ever heard "It's not about what you know, it's who you know"? This episode we dig into nepo babies and the reputation they may or may not deserve. The good ones, the bad ones, and the very bad ones that wouldn't have a career if it weren't for who their family was. We also burn some potential advertiser bridges, but we did it for you! Maybe offset the possible cash cow by following us on...

We've seen the story play out over and over again. Humans showing their hubris by creating a highly intellectual monstrosity that ends up causing their own demise.

This week's episode goes into a handful of the negative sides of AI and their current impact on our day-to-day lives as...

Ever been taken back by something that just came out of left field. Something that popped up and seemed completely out of place? Like Keanu Reeves showing up as a tumbleweed in a SpongeBob movie or taken your Swiftie fiancé to a Slipknot concert. These things just don't go together, but they happened anyways. The same goes with the topic for this episode. Lyrics in popular songs that made you do a...

"Don't be that person", a phrase that I'm pretty sure was meant for today's topic. Birthday week people.

I'll admit, I did soften on my position a bit, but only as it relates to restaurant coupons that give you the opportunity to celebrate your birthday the whole mont...

Some things stand the test of time: marble statues, the Wilhelm scream, my hatred of M. Night Shyamalan. And some things... don't (fat suits in sitcom flashbacks, anyone?). Today's episode covers relics of a bygone era, including greatest hits like "Love Thy Neighbor" and other common phrases that haven't aged well. One phrase that unfortunately does stand the test of time: "You can sleep when you...

When people say "it was a simpler time" it's probably being followed up by something pretty racist, but not in this episode! Our "simpler time" is all the way back in the 1990's, when Spice Girls roamed the Earth and dirty flannels were a fashion statement and the world hadn't been flooded in the pessimism that came with the explosion of the internet. Listen along as we discuss what the 90's meant...

Everyone's got an opinion. Some you might agree with or some you might disagree with. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but some things that are so objectively bad that everyone can agree it's not a good product. Sometimes something comes along that is so bad it ends up making a complete 180 and becomes beloved for how bad it is. That's what we're tackling today. Movies so bad they're good. T...

Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. 1903. Two brothers created an invention that would completely change the world forever. Orville and Wilbur Wright's new mode of transportation made it possible to travel anywhere in the world in a fraction of the time it would take any other way.

Have you ever diagnosed yourself with the help of WebMD or a probably not-so-credible tiktok? Do you see a road work sign and think "Yeah, I sure hope it does"?

Think back, before 2020, what did the world look like? Did the grass look a little greener? Did the air smell a little sweeter?
