In this episode, we're joined again by Nick Ferwerda to talk about what is theoretically the simplest way to make money: sit on the street and wait for people to give it to you.

We talk about the complicated history of begging and investigate the highly misunderstood modern practice of asking for money on the street. We also crack jokes while trying not to be monsters.
