A Thousand Natural Shocks With Gabe S. Dunn

This week, Gaby reads an email about the financial mistake of becoming a parent, a defense of NFTs in light of our crypto episodes, a listener giving us the saga of their pet insurance woes, and how one fan became less panicked by listening to this show. Then, Gaby and their partner Mal Blum react to a very sweet voicemail from Cory, and Gaby shares some interesting TikTok discourse that happened because of our NFT artist interview with Klara Vollstaedt. And finally, Gaby has a new book and audio book coming out June 8 called "Stimulus Wreck" on Scribd Originals.  For a full transcript of this episode, visit: https://bit.ly/3QcXS6q You can listen to and/or read Stimulus Wreck for free for 60 days. https://try.scribd.com/dunn60/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!

Creator of the exemplary explanatory video Line Goes Up: The Problem with NFTs Dan Olson joins Gaby to break down the ultimate scam behind cryptocurrency. Where did this whole idea come from? Why are people so evangelical about it? Is everything a lie? And why do some celebrities who promote NFTs get piled on? Dan's takedown is thorough and you absolutely have to hear it. (If you can't tell, Gaby is fascinated.) Run, don't walk! They swear this isn't mythmaking marketing based on nothing! They just wanted to look cool!

The exciting news of this episode is that a musician wrote a whole song inspired by the show! Gaby plays a bit of the song to their rave review. Then, a couple of short listener emails, five very kind 5-star Apple reviews all left within 48 hours for some reason, and a listener calls in to thank our guests in the ADHD/Autism and money episode. Next, in the discord channel we have a recommendation for a past episode with Chloe Cockburn about charity models, an experiment based on our recent episode about paying to date, and Gaby shares their research about Health Savings Accounts. And finally, Baby Velvet shares the beautiful song they wrote based on this very podcast called Bad With Money. Delightful! *slight correction - Gaby says you have to invest your HSA, but you don't have to! It's just recommended.

After avoiding it for years, Gaby finally deep dives into cryptocurrency and NFTs. This week, they talk to programmer Stefan Thomas, a man made famous for being locked out of his crypto wallet worth 200 million dollars. Stefan breaks down the origins of crypto and why his problem is not a bug but a feature. Then, Gaby speaks to NFT artist Klara Vollstaedt about the hype market around digital art, the difference between Bored Apes and non-fungible token fine art, and how the money moves circularly within the NFT space. Who decided the Mona Lisa has value? Plus, the trans ideal of controlling your perception online, the young people making tons of money off natively digital art, and how all of that merges with the futurism of art and money.

On today’s show we are going to read replies to the person who thinks Gaby talks too fast. Then, Discord comments about the cishet nature of the dating advice in our paying to date episode, the absurdity of prioritizing height when looking for a love match and how that perpetuates gender roles in work and home, and paid menstrual leave at your place of work. Gaby is also going to read a delightful apple review and we’ll hear a voicemail from Stephanie.  For a full transcript of this episode, visit: https://bit.ly/3zbqGGs 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!

On today’s amazing show, Gaby covers Discord comments about check resequencing and an expansion on one of last week’s tweets about taking out money against your retirement and paying the interest to yourself. (Confused yet? This listener clears it up.) Then, they read a couple very cute 5-star Apple reviews. We hear a voicemail from Amanda about Bank of America's corporate pride, another from Kate about her experience getting Xanax cheap in Mexico, and one last voicemail from Laina about taking out money from 401K to pay off her debt. Finally, an enlightening email about our Girlboss episode with Koa Beck from a Black female in manufacturing, an email with more resources for vegans, and an Instagram message with big time advice for a former listener about loan forgiveness! And then, one critique in an Insta DM about …well, you’ll have to hear it to find out.  Food apartheid/food justice https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9wY3IuYXBwbGUuY29tL2lkMTI4OTA4OTAyMT9scz0x/episode/M2IwYWNhNTAtM2E5Zi00ZDkwLWIxMGItYTVlNWQ4NzBjYmVl?ep=14 Black veganism https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9wY3IuYXBwbGUuY29tL2lkMTI4OTA4OTAyMT9scz0x/episode/OTMzZWQ3MWMtZDAyZS00M2YxLWE5ZWEtNDRjZjEzY2E3ZWUx?ep=14 Weight stigma is deadly https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9wY3IuYXBwbGUuY29tL2lkMTI4OTA4OTAyMT9scz0x/episode/ZGVhZDg4MDUtNGQxYS00OTJmLTg1YzQtNmY0Y2IyOGYwOGU2?ep=14 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!

Should love cost a thing? This week, Gaby talks to Bela Gandhi of the Smart Dating Academy on what happens when you pay to find love, what we're all doing wrong, and reframing the work you put in to be in a satisfying and loving relationship. Then, Gaby's co-host on their other show Just Between Us Allison Raskin joins to talk about her book Overthinking About You: Navigating Romantic Relationships When You Have Anxiety, OCD, and/or Depression and about her own experiences paying for dating -- and why the stigma around that should be eliminated. Plus, how do you let someone down easy? Ooof.

Journalist Koa Beck joins Gaby to discuss the history of white feminism from the suffragettes to the influencers of today. Koa and Gaby also talk about the idea of the girlboss, "showing your politics" as a marketing ploy, and the problems with the "financial literacy for marginalized people" narrative. Plus, who gets left behind in this messaging? This is a really good conversation! Koa is a genius guest.
