flimsy
When describing physical objects, "flimsy" usually implies that the item is poor quality because it is too thin or light. When used to describe an argument or excuse, it means the logic is weak and easy to disprove. In this context, it often carries a negative tone, suggesting that someone is lying or not being honest.

Jackson uses 'flimsy' to describe his weak business argument. Ryan responds with characteristic oblivion, using the slang 'bet' (meaning 'I agree' or 'for sure') and 'pivot' (a startup term for changing direction), showing their shared slacker/bro dynamic.
