Episode 36: The Spoon Spiel
Remember that time you paid your rent in popsicle sticks?
No?
Well, what about spoons?
Still no?
Weird, because we could’ve SWORN that it was considered socially acceptable to pay for the important things in life with inanimate objects. Just like it’s okay to pay for creative work (i.e., photography) with anything other than money, right?
*scream cough scream cough*
Yeah so, someone had the audacity to attempt to reason with someone else that paying for work with their spoons was acceptable. Thousands of dollars’ worth of spoons. That’s a lot of spoons.
You can imagine our response to that.
Sigh.
And then someone else dealt with a homeless person running off with their prop food. Because that’s the big city, baby. Is that why they call it the Big Apple?
And then you’ll hear us discuss our attempt to fly with 25 lbs of sand and food poisoning, how Elle enslaved her childhood friends, and why lowering scope > lowering rates.
It’s a lot. Are you ready to get angry about spoons?
