No, no, that's not, no. Okay, so tell me what you do on a day-to-day basis. Turns out that turtle was not faking it.
That sounds great. It was time for me to hit the streets and shadow Lillian on an actual straw raid. First step, case the joint. Clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear. All right, clear.
Start racial profiling.
Next, look for contraband. These are what we use. Very compostable.
Turns out this guy was clean, at least for today. But I knew things were about to get real when we hit the mother load. A coffee shop with enough plastic nose candy to take down Nemo's whole goddamn reef.
And now the straw cops are gonna make you pay.
Oh, really? That's convenient. Just happen to be switching when we walk in. Okay.
Sorry.
Is this your straw? Whose straw is this? Straw, straw over here. Sorry, false alarm. It's fine, it's paper. Dispatch, we are entering premises, over. You see that guy over there? The black hoodie? Just gonna go ask him a few questions. Oh, oh, he's going, he's going. Go, go, go, go, go. Straw police, straw police. Drop the straw. Get on the ground .
But despite the successful raid, Lillian wasn't happy.
Well, let's agree to disagree.
Okay, change people's minds through constructive conversations. I can do that. Do you know how many f***ing turtles are dying in the ocean because there are straws up their nose? Why? Because motherf***ers can't seem to drink from cups without straws. Just put the cup to your mouth. Just put the cup to your mouth. That's it. You don't need a middleman.
Do you know how much damage this could do to a dolphin's anus? An oyster can eat this and suffocate to death. It's like you guys don't even care.
Yo, you can't call the police. We are the police.
We are the police.
Show her your badge now. She has a badge. Show her the badge. After a successful conversation, we voluntarily left the restaurant. I come back, I see any plastic straws in here, I'm burning this whole place to the ground. And hey, if a restaurant can ban me just for doing my job, How hard can it be to ban straws?
Cryptocurrency. Is this some fake , some nerds made up on the internet to steal our money? Or is it the future of finance? There is no way all these people buying cryptocurrency have any idea what the hell they're investing in. And it's not just Bitcoin. Ethereum, the number two cryptocurrency, has risen 5,000% since the start of this year. Why?
What the hell does that mean? I spoke with one of the founders of Ethereum, Joe Lubin, to find out. First question, what is it? What is it?
Is it just everyone just going decentralized from the dark web and drugs online? Exactly. Does cryptocurrency make you feel angry and confused? Well, it should. To make it easier to understand, we ripped off the big short and asked Margot Robbie to explain it in a bubble bath. But she said no. Cryptocurrencies are transparent and decentralized.
When two strangers exchange money over the internet, it requires a middleman, like PayPal or a bank, who takes a percentage of the transaction. and that transaction is vulnerable to hacking. Cryptocurrencies are recorded in a public ledger called the blockchain, so it's impossible to cheat. They actually solve a lot of problems with exchanging money in a global digital world.
