This week, Annie and Zoë kick things off with recession indicators, from whether bringing an iced coffee to a job interview is acceptable to the Fed raising interest rates, plus Zoë’s trip to Greece and Annie’s unwavering commitment to eating leftovers even when foodborne illness becomes a legitimate possibility.
Then, Annie dives into the ongoing medical and financial mystery of Brandi Glanville. After years of mysterious symptoms, more than 20 doctors, mounting medical bills, lost Bravo income, and an alleged parasite, Brandi has turned to GoFundMe to help pay for treatment. Annie breaks down the winding timeline of Brandi’s health issues, her Bravo fallout, and where her money may have gone.
Plus, Zoë investigates the increasingly ominous warnings coming from inside the AI industry. If the people building the world’s most powerful AI systems are publicly warning that things could go very, very wrong, why are they still racing to build them? The girls get into frontier labs, the business incentives and balance sheets behind the AI arms race, and why the people warning us about the AI apocalypse are the same people creating it.

It's another special Resting B*tch Fund episode! This week in our pre-recorded series, Annie and Zoë dive right in to their long-form investigation of The Valley's very own antichrist, Danny Booko and his family's megachurch legacy.

Annie kicks us off with an in-depth look at Danny's fourth (or more!) generation family of pastors, the history of Armageddon-fever that runs deep within his veins, and some implications of investing financially in a religious practice that has an expiration date (if you're rapture-lucky).

Then Zoë takes the torch and grounds us in some serious stats surrounding megachurch finances, the ambiguity of the Booko's Riverside Church spending, and the End Times economic ecosystem. Apparently, you can have a bank account in heaven.

Join us for our first Resting Bitch Fund (RBF): a special pre-recorded episode, while one of us rests (titular) where Annie and Zoë collab deep dive on one topic that touches both pop culture, Bravo, finances, and the economy.

This week, Annie and Zoë kick things off with recession indicators, from Rupert Grint joining the Harry Potter staged play universe to uncovering the potential market justifications for Callaway Golf's recent and infamous commercial...

Then, Annie and Zoë launch into this week's special episode, deep diving on a singular topic that is financially relevant through a — you guessed it — Bravo lens. This week, the girls are book-clubbing about former Beverly Hills Housewife, Amanda Frances, and her Money Manifestation manual: Rich As F*ck: More Money Than You Know What to do With.

Annie and Zoë break down Amanda's professional background, qualifications (or lack thereof), self- promotional and referential echo chambers, her Housewife come-up, and what it means to sell something immaterial or abstract, like willing money into your life through the power of positive thinking. Does it work? Is it a con? What's the verdict? Let's find out together!
