The Dollar Milkshake theory is more nuanced than the playful name implies.
Unfortunately, people don’t spend enough time digging into its layers to fully appreciate the critical perspective it is trying to provide.
So, in this episode the Milkshakes Duo take you on a tour of what the “theory” is all about.
Along the way they visit Santa’s workshop and a few other fantasy lands, before eventually ending up in … prison.
If “there can be only one” episode you watch from this show, consider that Jon claims this is one of the best conversations he has ever had with Brent, on or off camera.
Whether you believe in magic or you believe in math, there is something for everyone in this conversation full of fairytales.
