Today's episode is another installment of Funny Money, where Nicole gives bizarre headlines from business and finance, and a comedian gives their famously non-expert insight on the topic. Today, Nicole talks to the hilarious Ben Gleib (The Young Turks, The Mad King, The Neurotic Gangster). While being a money expert isn't a prerequisite for this segment, Ben does have some really sharp and creative economic ideas that he put together when he… ran for President. True story. He tells Nicole all about it, plus, how he feels about the God Coin.

"I'm Bad at Money... How Am I Supposed To Teach My Kids To Be Better?" (Listener Intervention)

When it comes to MLMs (multi-level marketing) brands, Nicole is torn. She's heard some horror stories exposing an exploitative underbelly of MLMs, but she's also spoken firsthand to people who attribute all of their financial success and happiness to their work with MLMs. Today, Nicole hears from Roberta Blevins, who was once a seller for It Works! and LuLaRoe. Roberta shares her firsthand experience, and why she unequivocally believes MLMs are pyramid schemes.
