Show notes

Ron Ahmanson doesn’t remember his last vacation. His 52 weeks of unused PTO have forced management to buy him a vacation and send him on it. So, Ron finds himself taking an all-expenses-paid Caribbean cruise that he doesn’t want to be on. Even though it’s paid for, he still obsesses about money. Even though he knows he needs to “get out more,” he hates the notion of socializing with regular dinner mates. And even though the LAST thing on Earth he wants to do is work on himself, this particular “Walmart on the water” turns out to be a fully immersive program into the motivational musings of an over-amped self-empowerment guru named Ernie “Macked Up” Bigman. Things escalate when our hero begrudgingly joins a man named Earl Beefington at the Craps table, where Ron winds up rolling snake eyes every single time, a veritable impossibility. This newfound superpower earns him gobs of cash and unwanted notoriety, thus hurling him into an existential shit storm that forces him to question both his buried past and his current reality. All as he becomes Macked Up’s main target.
