Need Money Not Friends

Nuria Spijker is Chief Sustainability Officer of Humbee, a company that creates a platform certifying and advising sustainability measures of restaurants.  Nuria and Beth talk about cultural, racial, and gender bias, and comparisons between poaching and factory farming.  Beth is spellbound by Nuria's experience, observations, and opinions, both in Africa and in the Netherlands.   Beth and Nuria would not mind chucking it all in and living out their days working in animal sanctuaries: chimps, gorillas, elephants, or all of the above.  They agree that baboons should be wild and just allowed to steal shit. 

Katie Geminder is the Cofounder and Chief Strategy Officer of Cent.co, a  repository that pays digital content creators in perpetuity.  Beth and Katie embrace a new class of startup: cockroaches. Katie brilliantly explains what an NFT is so that Beth finally, genuinely, for the first time, gets it.  Listen and you will too. Beth is going to move all her content off Facebook and onto Cent.co. Listen and you will too. 

Beth and Michael remember Bobby Knight. Beth fails to convince Michael to book an appointment with her favorite massage therapist, a.k.a. the Lovemaker. They rifle through Rolling Stone's list of all time best guitarists. 

Beth and Michael have a listener, and they provided feedback, which Beth and Michael discuss. Beth and Michael unanimously agree that a cease fire should be in order. So...any day now. 

Beth and Michael remonstrate the EU's ban on glitter, while single-use bottles and ultra processed food packaging is churned out at a Fantasia frenzy. Beth found her childhood Cookie Monster puppet.  They tiptoe briefly into the Hamas/Israel conflict. They compare being an employee of a company vs. a citizen of a country. If you live in Seattle, vote for Maren Costa. 

Beth and Michael discuss if U2's Sphere in Las Vegas is a good idea because it is probably as hideous for the environment as Bono's overheated ego.  Beth also doubts that Las Vegas as a whole is a good idea.  

Beth and Michael hold the space. They discuss Beth's obsession with Michael's health, appropriating urban slang, and confusion over Jared Kushner. 

Beth and Yvonne talk about gun violence in the Netherlands, gigolos who just want to talk, and mishaps at the day spa.  

Beth and Michael fear what would happen if they combined their DNA. 

Beth and Michael discuss France declaring three wars.  Beth is fermenting too many foods. They discuss the color of her new sweater and what Michael knows the most about.
