Episode 9: The Pyramid/MLM Scheme Episode (with an Inverted Pyramid Martini)

What if I told you that you could make a six figure income in the exciting and glamorous world of competitive pie eating?  Sound too good to be true?  What if I also told you that you would never have to eat a single pie?  Sound even better?  For a nominal fee, I can teach you the secrets of million dollar pie eating from the comfort of your own home!  No baking, no eating, just sit back and watch the dollars roll in!  I will, of course, need your credit card for the monthly lessons, because obviously we have to take care of my six figure income first, but I swear to the blueberry gods, your fortune comes next!

Bryan and Tom discuss MLMs and pyramid schemes with the Inverted Pyramid, a drink neither of them were able to replicate correctly, thereby keeping with the theme of failed fortunes and disappointments the MLM model dispenses with such regularity.

Topics include:

Marionberries and Marion Berry (both the blackberry derivative and the crack smoking mayor)
A possibly completely misremembered and inaccurate It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia reference
Amway
Herbal Life
Bernie Madoff
NXIVM

NXIVM Documentary (HBO) - The Vow
