What happens when a Komodo dragon, a Chinese exchange student, and a few clueless tourists cross paths in a Bangkok nightclub? According to Dylan, it leads to a multi-million yuan casino empire in Beijing. Welcome to the wonderfully absurd world of Three Word Story, where fictional business ventures spring from random locations and three arbitrary words.

Fresh off their sunburned and boulder-bruised two-week hiatus, James and Dylan take their entrepreneurial imagination to Asia. Dylan weaves an elaborate tale of how he and three companions—Peter Ink, Glenn Layers, and David Dragon—leveraged a lizard bite into political capital with China's "Minister of Infrastructure and Strategic Amusements." The story takes an unexpected comedic turn when Dylan's pronunciation of "glares" as "glayers" becomes the episode's running joke, revealing his tendency to add extra sounds to certain English words.

Meanwhile, James develops an international cheerleading competition based in Phuket, Thailand (which he consistently mispronounces to hilarious effect). Rather than focusing on athletic ability, his cheerleading business emphasizes culturally-specific chants and audience engagement. The episode reaches its peak as James performs three increasingly outrageous routines for South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States—each packed with stereotypes ranging from vuvuzelas and safari references to Brexit jokes and Donald Trump worship.

Between the mispronunciations, cultural stereotypes, and completely implausible business plans, this episode perfectly captures the show's signature blend of improvised storytelling and friendly banter. Listen now, and discover why sometimes saying "fuck it" (or as James would say, visiting Phuket) leads to the most entertaining business concepts you'll never invest in.
