27:11

TODAY'S QUESTION: So I just got hired at this really small literal mom and pop cafe in the town I just moved to.

30:55

TODAY'S QUESTION: A waiter in the restaurant where I work smells bad and almost the whole staff has complained about his particular odor.

2+ y ago28:00

28:00

TODAY'S QUESTION: I have over 100k in student loan debt, and I keep meeting other people with student loan debt that wax poetic about how they feel like “their money belongs to the department of education” and “they owe it to the country to pay that money back” “I made a commitment, I don’t want loan forgiveness” and sentiments of that nature.

You thought your Air BnB experience was a nightmare. And we're never the type to victim blame but I assure you, if we showed up to a rental and Pennywise answered the door, we'd sleep on the street before agreeing to share the place but that's not what our heroine did and that's not how any horror movie gets going, with a series of good decisions. …

S4 E1 "Index funds include unethical companies. Can I still invest in them, or does that make me a monster?" 32:42

2+ y ago32:42

32:42

TODAY'S QUESTION: I take it you have investments in broad-based index funds (since it's the prudent thing to do)? At the same time, many of your posts have an anti-capitalist bent. How do you address this conflict? Mind you, I'm not pointing fingers here, because I'm in much the same situation—private equity overlords booted me out of a job, but my…

We ran up that hill to make a deal with God and we got him to swap our places. We watched Stranger Things and we learned some strange things about ourselves. Our love of Kate Bush was confirmed.

BONUS: "What can I do to prepare for life in a post-Roe world?" 30:32

3y ago30:32

30:32

In a good timeline, no one would have to prepare for a post-Roe world. Reproductive rights would be safely enshrined in our constitution, where they belong. Plus, ice cream would never melt.

For the first movie of the year, we treated ourselves to a pricy rental. "Last Night in Soho," is the latest from Edgar Wright and is a beautifully styled, throwback thriller.

19:01

TODAY'S QUESTION: I have worked at a string of less than perfect places with toxic managers and owners.

3+ y ago49:07

49:07

This episode we watched the film It Follows about a young woman who is trying to outrun the consequences of an ill-fated one night stand.

TODAY'S QUESTION: What do you do when you finally have money for the first time? I don't have consumer debt, I’ve paid off my student loans, I have an emergency fund, I’m maxing out my 401K... so now what? So many blogs on money stop at this point.

After revisiting David Lynch's Dune in an earlier podcast, we were very eager to watch Denis Villenueve's offering and it did not disappoint.
