Erica started a club where people can meet to discuss cryptocurrency over curry. Is a delicious meal a good way to build community? And more importantly, is that cool? “We have lots of food and drinks involved for it to be easier for everybody to get to know each other, feel comfortable talking, have a lot of fun and build relationships.” Join a Crypto Curry Club event here, and check out Erica's book "Crypto Wars: Faked Deaths, Missing Billions and Industry Disruption" here.

We invited our girlfriends, who have been with us for all these episodes, to answer an extremely important question…how cool is How Cool Is This?” Want to be on the show?

Ryan thinks we should melt down statues of problematic historical figures and turn those raw materials into products you can buy. Is that the “win-win-win” that will satisfy all sides of the statue debate? And more importantly, is that cool? “We should melt the statues rather than have them take up space and make everyone angry and use the space for something else.” Have a cool idea you think should be on the show?
