The collapse of Enron was crazier than you think

[@graceherbst]

i have been begging my friends to listen to this podcast for years but no one will. it’s fine though because you guys have a new channel name once a year so i get to recommend you guys as a new separate pod each time and they’d never know the difference

[@myles_liem]

how was the “you guys gotta listen to pay pigs” era for you

[@flipina]

Had to explain pay pigs to friends and they looked at me like I'm terminally online. Now I need new friends

[@degrotekoningwouter]

@@flipina Pay Pigs? Is that the new Bitcoin or something?

I love how Ben recommended a movie and then Emil spoiled the ending of it.

[@ArtleyDraws]

ben... just get the nose ring, new dog, new era!!

[@amdonut8091]

Gettig the nose ring would make him seem a bit bisexual, maybe that is part of his new era too?

[@lizard191]

I say nipple piercings. New era baby

[@anthonyricch5506]

Oh no did we record before the UH CEO news

Ben is so right that we are all just being micro gay in so many regular interactions in everday life.

[@ryanjames5340]

We need to flood the microagression market with micro-gay strategies.

[@ShlammyJohnson]

Emil made Bitcoin go to $100k confirmed

[@seanmcgrath1514]

I loved learning about the Enron scandal back in school. One of the reasons I studied Econ. You should explore historical market events (if relevant to a contemporary story) it is super interesting.

[@scoochv]

boys it’s holiday time, can we please get some christmas/hanukkah decorations on the set

[@leedswest4777]

Honestly, I really love these history lesson episodes from Ben and Emil. I think I was 10 when Enron started collapsing so I really don't remember it but really appreciate learning all of this and appreciate y'all tying it to Tesla. I fully am with B & E and believe that Tesla is a house of cards waiting to collapse. Anyway, get sucked love ya guys.

[@benandemilshow]

Hell yeah thank u

[@AstreaStarsASMR]

Boys, this was a stellar episode. Funny, well structured, very informative and easy to understand ❤

[@kelsey5093]

thank you, sexy nerds, i enjoyed this episode and genuinely did learn things ❤ maybe do more episodes focusing on the history of shitty companies? it’s very interesting to hear the scammy shit they’ve done

[@EonJinn]

What an intro boys🤣

[@tubiescubie]

your deep dive episodes are some of your best work. very reminiscent of the toxic train crash from feb 2023 - taking a crazy situation we all heard about or were affected by and explaining it in a comprehensible way. so fun to listen to and so informative. keep it up!!! 💚💚

[@benandemilshow]

Hell yeah thank you!!

[@TessFibre]

Oh boy. Bitcoin hit 100k and hawk tuah rug pulled her coin right after they filmed this episode. 😂

It's either gay or poop with Ben, there's actually no in between

[@AstreaStarsASMR]

Awww wait I take this back, Ben is wonderfully well rounded and sweet for an autistic man ❤

[@sonjagonikman426]

i shudder to think what he’ll be like when he finds out about gay poop

If I had a nickel for everytime a KZbinr compared Tesla to Enron I’d have two nickels, and I’m surprised it hasn’t happened more often

I love watching BAES for the last hour of my shift every Thursday. Thanks fellas

[@slowlanegamer]

I’m in the floor omg Ben 🤣😭…. “FBI OPEN UP 💥” ….Emil: “It’s her senior high school photo, my god man.” Someone find Ben a new girl to date he’s clearly getting a bit thirsty.

[@Rodviet]

Im about to trauma dump about ben. Last night i had a dream that i met him. I was about to leave my husband and dog for him. Him and Doug were just too cute. I have now woken up with desires of destroying my family and moving to California to pursue Ben as wife. Send psychiatric help!

[@breadboigaming7420]

KZbin REALLY doesn’t like the comments I keep leaving

[@JLowe141]

If my shirt doesn't smell like Emil after tennis ima be pissed

[@amdonut8091]

Lets bring back THERANOS!!

[@anabean215]

Ben sure is trying to tell us something this episode. Not sure what, but there’s definitely something there…

[@DJHR_Music]

God KZbin is SO ANNOYING hitting me with multiple ad breaks of 5+ ads each, where every ad takes 30 seconds just to load. 5 ads back to back to back is just not cool

[@benandemilshow]

wtf i deleted all of them!!

[@Scheerpleasure]

Best episode yet

[@realistvera]

THANK YOU FOR THE WONDERFUL PODCAST!!!!

[@benandemilshow]

Thank YOU. dear

[@estrellita_hermosa]

this was genuinely so informative i loved it thank you boys!

[@ryanjames5340]

Great video! I am sure that this time when a corporate leader with direct conflicts of interest is in charge of the deregulation of markets and restrictions of government oversight, it will go well! After all, who knows what ol' Kenny Boy could have accomplished if he had undefined general power to directly change the agencies that were in charge of implementing and overseeing regulations?!

[@marcual9290]

Those corporate videos remind me of the show Silicon Valley. They were brilliant making parody of real life corporations 😂

[@thomasevergreen5282]

"Money is technically gay.." that's the real reason I'm broke guys I promise

[@lukeclifford2807]

Why is Thursday such a hot day for news? Feel like this stuff always happens AFTER the boys have filmed.

[@sydneyhfc]

That Tommy Wiseau 'The Room' reference lmao

[@masonreckmamp6741]

Another episode like this should be about Jho Low. Ben you defiantly know who he is. The greatest heist in financial history. The book is called the billion dollar whale. It would make a great episode

[@emschlef]

I'm with Ben that Enron is interesting. I took a course in grad school about computational deception detection of text and did a whole unit about the methods used to find the fraud in Enron emails.

[@kipsmom32]

Of course the central metaphor Ben comes up with is a poopy diaper. Never change Ben. The diaper I mean.

[@jcastro000]

Very refreshing to hear that we will eventually have another Enron situation due to the indomitable spirit of human greed. Jokes aside, good takes B&E

[@kellyhudsin]

My favorite thing is when the finance podcast accidentally turns into a historical documentation of sw podcast

Thinking about watching this without any breaks.. well..

Also, is the canine named Doug because it literally sounds like dog? I support it

[@amdonut8091]

Personally I don't know, but I certainly think it feels "right" and maybe that's why it was chosen

[@Rodviet]

@amdonut8091 it definitely feels right! He 100% looks like a Doug lol. That dog could do my taxes and I wouldn't bat an eye

If the cia made bitcoin it was almost certainly to be a honeypot for the original intended users like Silk Road etc at this point it’s probably just a nice bonus

[@CheersMyDudes]

Really interesting episode! Everything I knew about Enron prior to this came from the movie Fun With Dick & Jane, where Enron is only really used as a punchline right at the end of the movie. I wish we could place bets on Tesla failing (without having to get into options trading)! I feel like it’s due by 2027. Trump and Elon are going to come to blows at some point, and the reality where Elon comes out better is actually more scary to me.

somebody take bens shovel away please

I want Enron coin to be realer than birds, that are not real.

I just needed to say this. If they put out a good Enron game I would play it trying to keep the house of cards up 😂 lmao just make it the company back in the day and you have to make moves with out the company crumbling 💀
