How "Disaster Girl" Made A Fortune Out Of A Non Disaster Through An NFT: And More Importantly, What In The Hell Is An NFT???

It's the beginning of another week and another opportunity to go over some of the biggest stories that happened over the weekend in our Just One Question segment. Tonight we cover the US' ban on travel from India, Mitt Romney and Liz Cheney being under attack from other Republicans and Joe Rogan telling his fans they shouldn't listen to the advice he offered about Covid vaccination because he's a moron. Then we go onto our main story. This past week, Zoe Roth, a 21 year old girl known in the meme world as "Disaster Girl" sold a digital copy of her image from when she was 4 years old for nearly $500,000 as a Non-Fungible Token. We talk about her photo. Why it was taken, how it became a meme and why someone would pay almost a half million dollars for a digital copy of it.All the while we try and explain the mystery that is Non-Fungible Tokens. Next we show several images being sold as NFT's on the website opensea.io and the panel tries to guess how much each image costs. Spoiler alert many of them are in the millions! We close the show discussing our attempt to get all of our panelists on the celebrity video service Cameo.
