This week the boys dive into Historical Rich People! Daniel Covers Gray Dahl, creator of The Pet Rock. The Pet Rock created in the 1970s, Dahl came up with the idea in 1975 as a humorous novelty gift. He marketed the rocks as pets that required no care, feeding, or walking, appealing to busy individuals who wanted the companionship of a pet without the responsibilities.Dahl packaged the rocks in cardboard boxes designed to resemble pet carriers, complete with air holes and a straw bed. The concept quickly gained popularity, leading to millions of Pet Rocks being sold during the craze!While Tristan Covers Clive Palmer, an Australian businessman and politician known for his involvement in various industries, including mining, real estate, and tourism.
