Breakdowns and Takedowns: 90s Kids Movie "Blank Check" with Carly Usdin20 Jun 202301:09:29

Is Blank Check a transmasc allegory root?? Filmmaker and one of Gabe's besties Carly Usdin joins to discuss the 90s aspirational children's comedy Blank Check, where a 12 year old boy steals 1 million dollars and goes nuts with toys and ice cream. And also has an adult female love interest. This movie is very, very bad and very, very nostalgic. Carly and Gabe talk about capitalism in 90s movies, the connection between masculinity and money, and how we portray "business" to young kids. What toxic messages did we take in about manhood and money as children?


Correction: In this episode, we refer to Rick Ducommun as "the Canadian John Candy." John Candy is also Canadian, making him in fact "the Canadian John Candy."

Money Magic with Witch Sarah Faith Gottesdiener13 Jun 202300:37:36

We get deeply magical this week as we lean into the feelings part of the podcast with Moon Studio's Sarah Faith Gottesdiener. Money is ancestral, symbolic, deeply intimate and has a huge impact on our nervous systems, especially for listeners of this show who are introverts, neurodivergent, or sensitive to conflict. Gabe is excited to get spiritual about finances! What is future-casting? What's the difference between witchcraft, manifestation, and the toxic "wellness industry" mindset? Do we have to believe in angel numbers and signs? What is "enoughness" and how do we achieve it??

Mailbag: Job Interviews with Take Home Assignments?!21 Apr 202300:16:40

A cis man writes in questioning how difficult it is to change your name as a trans person because he had an easy time when he took his wife's last name 20 years ago. Discord listeners and Gabe explain the differences. Should this listener pay off their debts even though it's not high interest and they'd rather pay for fun experiences with their husband? Gabe shares their own experiences. If Gabe had rich parents, they think they'd do nothing all day. Anonymous exposes how "assignments" and "take home" work is a scam part of job interviews. Stephanie Lee has tax advice and an Apple review shares how much they've enjoyed the tone of the show.

The show is back and in a shocking turn of events, Gabe actually enjoys a personal finance book written by a rich person! Gabe and author Marcus Garrett of Life After Debt dive into Daymond John, one of the sharks on Shark Tank and the co-founder of the Black-owned clothing brand FUBU. Daymond's refreshing yet frustrating 2016 book "The Power of Broke: How Empty Pockets, a Tight Budget, and a Hunger for Success Can Become Your Greatest Competitive Advantage" shares some WILD stories with both empathy and realism. Unfortunately, it all goes downhill right before the landing... Still, this episode has some really good ideas from a rich guy!! No one is more surprised than us!

Tipping with Tipped Finance's Barbara Sloan16 Nov 202200:54:00
Barbara Sloan, author of "Tipped: The life changing guide to financial freedom for waitresses, bartenders, strippers, and all other service industry professionals," joins Gaby to talk about a topic we've wanted to cover for a while: tipping and working for tips. In the US, 3 million people work mainly for tips and yet financial advice never takes them into account or gives them practical steps to financial stability. We talk about the minimum and subminimum wage, what patrons can do to be better customers to tipped workers, and how people who work for tips can better save, budget, and control their money.  Gaby Dunn Instagram: @GabyRoad BWM Instagram: @bwmpod BWM Facebook group: http://tinyurl.com/badwithmoneyfb The BWM Discord channel: https://discord.gg/dAdxj4JMER Find Gaby on Patreon: patreon.com/gabydunn Shop gabydunn.com/shop for merch!

Mailbag: American Healthcare Is A Mercurial Elderly Aunt11 Nov 202200:41:05
Gaby steals from women... just like Don Draper. Lily updates us on her workplace accommodations situation re: ADHD and capitalism. Mal corrects their history of school accommodations based on new information from their mother. A transfemme listener named Claire writes about paying for gender affirming surgeries, adding authorized users to bank accounts and credit cards, and also accuses Mal of being a Boomer in a Millennial's body. Gaby's going to change their name with the same format Taylor Swift used to roll out the track titles for Midnights. Cooper, who is paying for aptitude tests, is back to talk salmon, Playstation 5, and the military. Finley explains blood donation in Canada. Charlie leaves a great voicemail about healthcare that leads to some really great advice. And finally, red rum.

The True Costs of Abortion: Stephanie Dworak's Story09 Nov 202200:30:33
This week, Gaby has the honor of speaking to Stephanie Dworak about the costs of her abortion and the emotional and financial stress of going out of state for the procedure on a child she desperately wanted. In a follow up to the show's childcare costs episode, Stephanie shares her story in hopes of bringing the realities of overturning Roe V Wade to the forefront of the harrowing conversation. (Her experience happened in Nebraska, a state where abortion was legal up to 22 weeks, but still, living it was a nightmare.)
