I think you can have multiple man caves – if women can have multiple orgasms, we should be able to have multiple man caves. Who’s with me!!!!!!!!!!
Hello? is this thing on?
100 Million, I’d want one of those strange houses they feature on that TV show. The kind made all out of beer cans or in a converted nuclear missile silo. Or a castle, definitely with secret doors and hidden rooms. And a gateway to hell in the basement. Well, maybe not that last thing but for sure the other stuff.
Great episode guys! I think you guys really hit the money on this one.
I think if i had 100million the first thing I would do after quitting my job and getting completely wasted would be to invest a lot of my money into areas and things that would keep my money growing.
Eg:
-Buy a comic book shop
-Buy a “Ma n Pa” theater (not cineplex) and turn it into family during the day and 19+ after 9pm with alcohol service
Buy at least two apartment buildings with around 20 apartments each and use 1 in each for me
-Invest in Google, Apple, Microsoft
-Put more money into my website and get a lot of contributors to make it more of a community and user driven site
-Invest in a movie production company (Indy)
-Create/buy my own recording label
Then I would start buying things for myself, family and friends
Eg:
-A massive house with all the trimmings;full arcade, pool/hot tube/sauna, a 50 person Imax 3D equipped Theater with concession stands, a full bar/club room for partying and live music, and of coarse the whole house would be integrated with Microsoft surface and would be an “intelligent house”.
-A fully submersible car(The Rinspeed sQuba). Common as if you didn’t think of it, how cool would that be to have a submarine car and its only a mere 1.5 million.
-A jet and a Yacht
-Buy my parents a bed and breakfast to own and run and give the a few million
-give all my immediate siblings a million
-distant relative $100-500,000 each
To give back to the geek world i think that the comic store,theater and movie company would do that for me but aside from that i would give money to the local children hospital and also buy them a host of newer gaming consoles and games. The idea of running a “comic-con Trip” for people who have always wanted to go but that’s really the begining, what about E3, or CES? there are so many awesome geeky shows you could go to with a large amount of people and(if you bought the jet) you just use your own plane.
If cybertonics were available i would definately get a bionic eye and super(but controlable) hearing i think that would be about it for now(as Christian said legs are the first to go when you get old so maybe the legs too eventually)
