That is to say that this list contains words that this list contains words that:
- Usually aren't instantly guess-able (like star, apple, or Nike).
- Can be played with a group of acquaintances (I play with a group of interns at work to blow off time)
- It contains some proper nouns which I believe to be well-known enough (like Simpsons or Spiderman).
Created this list by modifying an existing difficult word list we found online and adding a bunch of new words. If you see a stupid difficult word, it was probably a word from the existing difficult word list that I forgot to remove. (amicable and reimbursement were the type of bs I removed lol).

Hello there. I am a comedian. My act entails me to pretend to be a self-proclaimed financial expert who can lead you to riches via by paying for his seminajoining my nutritional supplement sales force/learning my bitcoin investing techniques. I won't say my name or link to my act out of respect for the rules. I just discovered this forum. I have no idea how I haven't visited yet.
I've been a hobbyist in comedy for over a decade. I also professionally used to write about finance and econ and etc. I've long been interested in con men and scams and the like. About four years ago, I conceived of this new act and decided to run with it. This was largely done after rereading "Rich Dad Poor Dad" for the first time in a few years and really being grossed out by what I read. And, wouldn't you know it, a little bit after that a Rich Dad Seminar was coming to a crappy chain hotel ballroom the next week just a few minutes from my house. This as the first of many of these types of seminars that I went to as sort of a weird method acting thing to study how the seminars operated and the types of people who lead them.
The most MLM one I went to was this really weird bitcoin thing. It was held at a Bonefish Grille near where I live. There was the promise of a free appetizer (Bang Bang Shrimp, specifically). I went and sat down with this middle aged white guy. We started talking. He asked me if I was interested in investing in bitcoin. I told him "no." I didn't tell him why I was there, but said I was curious about learning about any investment opportunity. This guy was an insurance broker with a college degree. He said he was always looking for some more opportunities and had done some "direct sales" things like some sort of vacation club on the side. He was really afraid missing out on bitcoin. I asked him why he hadn't just bought bitcoin and instead was at this event. He did not really have an answer. He then told me after to give him my thoughts whether or not I thought the thing was a scam.
The two people leading the event were a husband and wife. The husband claimed his face was used when he was a baby on a can of Gerber's baby food. He also said he worked for the local radio news station doing traffic updates for years. However, he got really sick after he contracted lyme disease after walking his dog in the woods. This drained the savings of he and his wife (who said she was a teacher at a local school). All of this was just sort of dubious to start with. There's no way to prove you were a baby model. I have no recollection of this man doing traffic updates on this station (which I listen to frequently). Why didn't he have health insurance through his job? Or what about through his wife since public school teachers have pretty good insurance a lot of times?
But that was their whole "rags-to-riches" angle. EVERY single one of these seminars is led by a spokesperson overcoming some type of odds. They then said they knew they needed to take the bull by the horns to get a hold of their financial independence and wanted their friends ("both old and new!") to learn those techniques, too. And this came via a unique bitcoin investment scheme.
It worked like this. For 50 euros (yes, euros, not US$) you would buy into a "virtual box." This virtual box would accrue interest somehow. And after a certain amount of time (I can't remember what, something like 90 days) then this "virtual box" would then allow you to buy bitcoin. OR it could roll over and your box could expand and allow you to get even more bitcoin down the line. The company was also registered in Dubai. There could not possibly be more red flags.
And then came the best part. The couple said your box would "automatically grow" if you could recruit your friends and families to also invest, and you could get your box to grow further if they could get others to join. I am not even kidding when I state that as part of the power point presentation they essentially drew a pyramid to show how it worked.
The guy I was with asked me what I think. I pointed out that they literally drew a pyramid as part of the business plan. And that you had to for some reason use euros to hand over to a company registered in Dubai. And, also, why not just buy bitcoin? He said he thought of all of that too but thought it sounded like a good opportunity. He gave me his card and I e-mailed him a week later. He ended up actually buying into this thing.
I also sneaked into an Herbalife event. I was actually at a different seminar at the same hotel and heard all of this crazy noise in a nearby room. I went to go see what it was and it was some sort of celebration for top selling Herbalife people in my state. I walked in casually as a wedding band was playing a Killers song and just tried to blend in. But some goony security type guard blocked my path and asked me who I was. (Everyone else was wearing nametags.) I said I was at a different event at the hotel but saw this and it looked like fun and wanted to know what it was about. Someone else then explained it was for Herbalife and I pretended I didn't know what that was. (I watched the documentary on it the week before and had known about it before that already.) The person speaking to me gave me the basics and his card and wanted me to join his "exercise squad" the next weekend.
I have been to two Rich Dad seminars and two Than Merril "Flip This House" seminars. They're all the same thing. The hosts wear a wireless headset microphone. They have some sob story. They were all before the election claiming they were close friends with Donald Trump. (That got toned down after his candidacy heated up and he became controversial. My area also is heavily Democrat, so not a good bragging point.) The audience members were filled with a lot of recent immigrants (Eastern Europeans) or people who, after speaking with them for a few, were struggling to make ends meet and wanted to do better financially and probably read Rich Dad but didn't know the basics of how to save.
The first Rich Dad seminar was hosted by this guy from Oklahoma who was about 60. He claimed to have been some hotshot real estate investor. And he namedropped some celebrities he claimed to have mentored over the years. One was former NBA player Antoine Walker, who literally was the person the 30 for 30 "Broke" was inspired by due to his financial mismanagement. This guy claimed he was able to write off taxes for a recent trip he took to Spain (since he was looking at investment properties) and etc. He also pointed to a woman in the crowd at one point and asked what her credit score was. Before she could answer, he responded by saying "I know your credit score is bad just by looking at you. It's so bad, in fact, that I bet it's coming alive and it's waiting next to that guy's piece of shit car and it's going to kill you."
Also at this event was a second speaker who was hawking some sort of stock picking software. He was Canadian. In his sob story, he mentioned how he had lost his job and "at one point, I literally looked my son in the eye and told him I could no longer provide for him and I was a failure of a father." He said this with tears in his eyes and I am almost completely certain that this was, in fact, an honest statement. He also ranted about mutual funds and their "hidden fees" and said this software would help you pick what stocks to buy by giving you information about different categories (I'm guessing stuff like P/E ratio) and if enough were "green lights" then it was a good buy. Just a truly gross thing to hawk to people new to investing.
I was also kicked out of one event. This was for some sort of direct marketing e-mail thing that made zero sense whatsoever. I went with a friend of mine. About 30 minutes or so into the speech, the host said "if you're interested, just head to the back of the room to my colleague and sign up and we'll get you started." After a few seconds, this woman sitting in the front row meekly got up, looked around, and headed back. This opened up the floodgates. Almost everyone in the room followed her soon after. It was pretty clear to me that she was a plant -- sitting in the front row let everyone see her move forward and put on the pressure. My friend and I eventually went back. The "contract" to sign was some mimeographed piece of paper that would charge you $400 to go to the next level of seminars. The company was based in Malaysia. I had a notepad with me to take notes and I tried to keep the mimeograph hidden as you weren't allowed to take it out of the room. (They claim at all of these that any information is protected under copyright law so you can't record it or bring anything home, which is not how copyright law works.) The guy leading the seminar saw that I had the mimeograph and demanded that I return it to the dude in the back. I said I would but instead turned to the door. A different guy blocked the door and ordered me to hand over the mimeograph. I for some reason did and then the host said "I hate it when people try to act slick" before he told me to leave.
These events are a really insane subculture. I love going to them in terms of the bizarre world of the seminar professional. I feel really bad for the people who actually do go and end up handing over money. I sometimes afterwards will hang out and see people in the parking lot and tell them it's a scam and explain why. I hope they believe me. I wish I could tell everyone. But just doing a parody act of all of these things I hope can help put a light on the horrors of the MLM world to some degree.
