In a recent interview the CEO of a large retailer expresses his opinion about Employees and Laziness. The Big Dad rebuts this opinion with his own. Employees aren't lazy they are assessing the risk factors associated with their non-monetary investment and in some cases the ROI is not commensurate with their expectations so they are saying "No Thank You. I choose not to invest my labor into your venture."  That is the topic today on the Big Dad Show!

See you next week!

A paper from University of Berkley suggests that the modern phenomenon of Thrifting and the Thrifting Lifestyle is a form of gentrification.  Today the ThriftingDood talks about whether that is true in his opinion.  We examine the evidence for it.

Then, later, he talks about a cool item he acquired while thrifting!

Finally, we discus one of our favorite websites, the email and website host IONOS.  Check them out for all your needs.

Over the history of thrifting the relationship that the lifestyle had with the public is complicated. Sometimes it is popular and others it is ANATHEMA! This week the ThriftingDood gives his opinion on how we went from being Taboo to being so damn trendy! 

Then we talk about a cool item we found at the local thrift store!

Then we review a great business asset that we use daily, Novo Bank! Here is the referral link!

The thing about working at a Thrift Store is that many people act a fool while in the store. So this week we go over a few social conventions that might help the Thrifter to NOT piss off the employees of the thrift store. If you are comfortable not looking like a good person than that is cool don't worry about it, BUT if you want to be a cool Thrifter/Reseller and maybe have access to the good stuff, here are some tips!

Then we talk about the VHS tapes that we have added to our own collection and some we have on our Ebay Store. These have all been gotten from Thrifting!

Then, finally, we talk about one of our favorite apps! 

Thanks for listening!

This week The Thrifting Dood talks a bit about himself. Then we get into a bit about things you should never donate to a Thrift Store. Then we talk about one of our favorite APPS! 

One of the most important things that people overlook on donated or sold devices is Personal Info. This episode we talk about that. Then later we review another app that we use as a thrifter!

Just because something is OLD doesn't mean it has value. It might simply be old. But how do you tell? This week we talk about the subtle differences between OLD and Valuable. Then in part 2 of the episode we talk about one of our favorite websites and their app!
