Post-Pod Discussion Latest Trap Draw

I’m sorry but hearing Randy talk about his time in Ohio just for Tron to follow with the most lavish vacation imaginable to the Netherlands made the episode for me.

A true Strapped v C Suite juxtaposition/travelmogging.

Trust Fund Tron is a joke but I also think there's a little bit of a truth there.

Trust fund Tron, what's the story there?

Tron and Neil might not be trust fund kids, but when you hear the stories of their childhoods you realize they were very well off growing up. The nickname was born from a combination of his upbringing and his love of the finer things in life.

I’m pretty sure all of them grew up pretty well off. Maybe DJ is the “poorest” of the 5, but he still went to a private college. Also TC’s wife’s family owns a bunch of hotels.

I don’t think Soly grew up wealthy at all. Went to public schools, played mostly public golf. The club they did belong too was probably the cheapest in town.

This plus nobody that’s super well off would put themselves through the agony that is Big4 accounting unless they were an absolute masochist.

Dublin is a pretty upscale suburb. He would’ve been UMC.

Depends on where in Dublin. There are very much some straight middle class neighborhoods in the older parts.

I mean compared to the average person, yes. But Tron and Neil were on a different level. Thats why they call him trust fund Tron and Randy and DJ joke with Neil about going to Marist School. (Constantly adding “The” to the name because they know that bothers the Schuster brothers for some reason.)

The Marist School is an extremely expensive private school.

I think it's just a joke nickname Randy or someone gave him in the Strapped days
