118 | ONE TRILLION DOLLARS
Update: 2025-11-11
Description
The Captain and Mr. Green dive into the trillion-dollar economy of modern villainy — from Elon Musk's $1 trillion pay package to the expanding shadow of the Nothing Corporation and the rise of the Dark Orbit.
We talk:
• Trillion-dollar compensation and the myth of genius
• Government shutdowns as content strategy
• Gil's golden shield — the rise of the nepotism cyborg
• The Dark Orbit — building the universe's villain council
• Gremlins 3, The Mummy, and nostalgia as economic fuel
It's an hour of improvised worldbuilding, late-stage capitalism, and the comforting realization that evil scales faster than empathy.
