LISTEN HERE! This week, we double-check Damon’s budgeting math, and envy deeply the tenured Columbia professor in the 1950’s we all wish that we were.

Make-Believe Money

Episode 97: The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

LISTEN HERE! We’d give you a spoiler warning, buuuuut… let’s be real, no one’s watching John Wick movies for the plot. You’re watching it for the bonkers money system! OBVIOUSLY.

Episode 96: John Wick 2

LISTEN HERE! Poor Santos L. Halper, living in a pre-internet age. It’s going to take him a really long time to figure out how badly Bart has ruined his life.

Episode 95: The Simpsons

LISTEN HERE! No spoilers! Except for when Liz makes wild, outlandish guesses about what Baby Yoda’s deal is. (She’s since seen the show all the way through.)

Episode 94: The Mandalorian

LISTEN HERE! Well, here’s what happens when cold and flu season hits your co-host and editor. Here’s a Merry Holidays episode to keep you in the holiday spirit even now in the dead grossness of winter. Today, we talk about bank runs, dumb uncles, and growing a small business!   On a more serious note,…

Episode 93: It’s a Wonderful Life!

LISTEN HERE! Yes, that’s right, part three. Today we discuss: Unemployment. It’s like magnets: no one knows how it really works. 

Episode 92: Schitt’s Creek, Part 3

LISTEN HERE! Today we dig deep into video rental stores and daytime television actor salaries to answer that age-old question: How much was the Rose family actually worth, anyway?

Episode 91: Schitt’s Creek, Part 2

WE’RE BACK, BAYBEE! That’s right, friends! Make-Believe Money has returned, although now on a new, baby-tolerant bi-weekly schedule. (Bi-weekly here meaning, “once every two weeks,” not that other meaning of bi-weekly. Honestly, it’s really dumb that that word means both of those things…) SO! To welcome us back, we begin by dissecting Dan’s paternity-leave show…

Episode 90: Schitt’s Creek, Part 1

LISTEN HERE! Oh, HELLO, friends! We’re still on hiatus, but not for much longer! To tide you over, and to whet your appetite for more nonsense from us fools, here’s a quick lil mailbag, where we answer all your drinking game-related questions! Thanks for writing in, friends! If you have a question you’d like answered,…

Make Believe MAILBAG!

LISTEN HERE! Hey Friends! We’re on a bit of a late-summer break, as you maybe have noticed, but we’ll be back! In the meantime, please enjoy us getting REAL sad about the cost of college in America. Subscribe in your podcatcher of choice to keep updated on when we’re back in action, and expect some…

Episode 89: Animal House

LISTEN HERE! Recording issue days are behind us, folks! Here, new and improved, is our podcast! Today, we discuss the money in the banana stand. 

Episode 88: Arrested Development, Part Deux

LISTEN HERE! Because of a technical SNAFU, we three wise guys are bringing you a fun rebroadcast: a Christmas Movie in July! Enjoy this cool-weather throwback in these hot times (assuming you’re in the northern hemisphere, of course. Shout out to our southern hemisphere wintertime buddies!)

MBM Rewind: Die Hard

LISTEN HERE! You’re on the wrong side of the podcast! Listen to this weeks episode where Damon faithfully recounts the events of 1999’s The Mummy. Also Dan and Liz talk about money.

Episode 87: The Mummy

LISTEN HERE! I mean… It’s one banana, Michael. How much could it cost? Ten dollars?

Episode 86: Arrested Development, Part One

LISTEN HERE! This is not the show with Mandy Moore and the killer crock pot. It IS the show with some bad ideas about credit cards and teens.   P.S. Liz couldn’t figure out what that John Ritter movie was, but she knows she’s seen it at some point in her life.
