Bad With Money With Gabe Dunn

The inevitability of the impossible is on the table today on our Bonus Bag. Joel Edward Goza, author of Rebirth of a Nation, returns to answer your questions about violent resistance, the lies we were told about MLK Jr, and how reparations doesn’t need a rebrand.

This is such a good and educational conversation. Joel Edward Goza, professor of ethics at the HBCU Simmons College of Kentucky and the author of "Rebirth of a Nation: Reparations and Remaking America," joins the show for an enlightening, uplifting and insightful conversation that has Gabe rethinking the spectrum of possibility. They discuss what reparations are NOT, the delicate balance between violent and nonviolent revolution, how reparations could be implemented holistically, "the universal basic neighborhood." 

CEO of Everything Gay Tristan Schukraft joins the pod to talk about creating inclusive LGBTQ hotels, buying the legendary bar The Abbey (of Pink Pony Club fame), and founding HIV telehealth company MISTR. We chat how to fund a gay business, the new ubiquity of PrEp, the “dangers” of gay neighborhoods like Gabe’s beloved West Hollywood, and keeping queer spaces in queer hands.

Gabe and Josh discuss Iron Man 2 and 3, the ways in which Elon Musk believes he is Tony Stark and the franchise's bizarre logic around global weapons and privatizing world peace. Gabe gets some stuff wrong at first and then immediately corrects himself. Relax, nerds!

Gabe shares the raw aftermath, financial and otherwise, of being a victim of a random violent crime two weeks ago. Trigger warnings. (He is physically fine.)
