$100 Million Deals

Summary

$100 Million Deals is a business book that became the subject of conversation during Session 10 of the campaign. The book was sent to Abdul by the CEO of the company where both Abdul and Brad work. The group's unanimous reaction was that the book appeared to be either a deliberate joke or unintentionally humorous to the point of absurdity. Abdul reported that "everyone in the house was like, that book is a joke book that someone made." The book's questionable quality and content led Brad to consider giving it to Erin as a gag gift for Christmas.

Properties

The book has several distinctive physical characteristics that contributed to the group's skepticism about its legitimacy. It is extremely small in size but thick in depth, with Abdul describing it as resembling a children's book. The front cover features a large dollar bill as its primary design element.

The interior text is set in an unusually large font size, which one participant noted simply as "The text is so big." This formatting choice, combined with the book's diminutive dimensions, suggests very little actual content per page.

The acknowledgments section contains what Abdul characterized as misogynistic content. Specifically, it includes a dedication reading "To Layla, you're my ride or die" followed immediately by an Urban Dictionary definition of the phrase "ride or die" that states "There's oftentimes a woman who will support you." The group found this choice particularly baffling, with one participant asking "Who puts a dictionary definition in the acknowledgments?"

History

Session 10

The book was sent to Abdul by the CEO on the day of the session. Abdul brought it to the group's attention during the pre-session conversation, describing its physical appearance and sharing the details of the acknowledgments section with the others. The group collectively questioned whether the book was genuine or an elaborate prank, with the general consensus leaning toward it being either a joke book or so poorly executed that it might as well be one. Brad expressed interest in repurposing it as a gag gift for Erin for the upcoming Christmas holiday.
