So at the start of this show Mutt was going on about a thing he was doing where you take something of minimal value in your possession and trade it with someone else for an item of marginally higher value ("value" being subjective here) with the ultimate goal of continuing this trading pattern until you acquire something of "genuine" value. There's stories of a guy out there who went through this procedure and over the course of time eventually traded his way from a paperclip all the way up to a crappy house which is kind of stupifying on multiple levels when you think about it. Anyhow Mutt had been trading for a little bit and just couldn't get past even the "still worthless" category of items...
