This week, Gaby covers the ways LGBTQ Pride has become corporate and about money and marketing more so than about the original riot at its core. LGBTQ historian Dr. Eric Cervini joins the podcast to discuss how the gay community became good for business, the conflicts between queer liberation and queer acceptance, and how history must play a part in any group, company or organization's Pride outreach. Then, Gaby and the co-hosts of the Dyking Out podcast comedians Carolyn Bergier & Melody Kamali chat about the weirdest Pride collaborations, why parents are obsessed with getting their kids fast fashion rainbow merch, and the doublethink that goes into working with companies to promote gay products or put on gay events. Cops at Pride! Rainbow MAGA hats! What a world!

This is a fun one! In the introduction, Gaby revisits the time they scammed their way into a 2000 dollar a plate gala at Lincoln Center in 2011 to try and meet Stephen Colbert.

A reader writes to the show about SSDI and long COVID. Another has concerns about covered calls, and another has concerns about affording school, which sparks a rant from Gaby about the ways this country has failed chronically ill people. Then, a HUGE controversial email based on our latest veganism episode that has alarmed and delighted your host. Next, many of you write in to respond to our cancer and pinkwashing episode to spill the tea on St. Jude and to share your beautiful, heartbreaking and vulnerable stories. Thank you and I love you all.  Related Links: Covered calls: https://www.fool.com/investing/2020/12/31/missing-just-a-few-of-the-best-stock-market-days-c/  Vegan video: https://youtu.be/ao2GL3NAWQU Veganism book: https://caroljadams.com/spom-the-book Vegan emailer's crafts: https://www.rainbrocrafts.com/ The Pink Patch Project: https://pinkpatchproject.com Nina Tame: https://www.instagram.com/nina_tame/ 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!

This week, a teacher writes in to talk about state pensions and low interest rates. A fossil fuels activist provides links and information for why fossil fuel subsidies are so destructive. The discord gives some advice about covered calls and short puts that leads me to a rant about how you need tons of money to make tons of money. Boy, did I have some thoughts on that! Then, a long voicemail about fossil fuels and bitcoin, which leads to me responding to criticism of Bad With Money on Apple reviews and Instagram. And finally, a voicemail about a queer teacher creating a safe space for gay students despite homophobic legislation.  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!

I'm sharing a special preview of the new podcast, What’s Your Problem? from Pushkin Industries. What’s Your Problem? explains the problems really smart people are trying to solve right now, from creating a drone delivery service to building a car that can truly drive itself. Jacob Goldstein, former host of Planet Money, talks with entrepreneurs and innovators about the future they’re trying to build – and the problems they have to solve to get there. In this preview, Jacob talks with Ramon van Meer, who is trying to figure out how to grow a niche business (ramps for wiener dogs!) when a pandemic blows up your supply chain.
