Gabe and iconic podcast producer, writer and friend Melisa D. Monts break down one of the best bank robbing blockbuster films, Set It Off, starring Queen Latifah, Kimberly Elise, Vivica A Fox, and Jada Pinkett. How were Black women portrayed in "empowerment" films in light of the booming 90s economy? What do the motivations of our heroes say about systemic racism, homophobia, and misogynoir? Should we all just start robbing banks? Time to SET IT OFF!

An anonymous trust fund kid breaks down exactly how the money has or hasn't changed their life. (Juicy!) An army reservist details what the financial benefits were of joining the military. Gabe talks about the broken down homes in the LA area that are going for millions of dollars.

Barbara Sloan, author of "Tipped The life changing guide to financial freedom for waitresses, bartenders, strippers, and all other service industry professionals," joins Gabe 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.  

Should you tip if someone just hands you food or drink from behind a counter? Next, what is up with car insurance? How do you know if you're getting taken advantage of? A listener shares their debt story after moving two times for different jobs. 

Why does this keep happening?? Host of "This Keeps Happening" and marriage and family therapist Vienna Pharaon joins the show to talk about family systems and money, repeating patterns, and setting boundaries. Gabe and Vienna share their vulnerable family histories and what forms your fears and actions around finances. Plus, examples of how to practice boundaries with your friends and loved ones.
