This week it is Mrs. P who is driven into a rage by hearing all about Dave Ramsey and his 7 baby steps to financial success. Mr. P tells Mrs. P all about the Tennessee financial guru's very conservative world view and how being poor is YOUR FAULT.

Also, It's official! We have reached out Patreon membership goal. So the second horny fairy book reading HAS BEGUN! Thank you to all of the new and existing Hey Huns, Team Leaders and Feds. Look for that book club episode in the coming months!

Also in my private Christian school we took a class called “family life skills” which was supposed to show us how to run a home ig but it was just us watching Dave Ramsey content 🤩

I saw who this episode was about and ran to play the episode. If Dave Ramsey has no haters than I am dead. I had an awful boss that once offered to sign me up for his course when I asked for a raise because it was her opinion that I didn't need more money, I just needed to manage it better...

*heavy breathing* I haven't listened yet but I'm about to have the will to live coursing through my veins, I KNOW IT

When I was a senior in high school in my math class for a whole semester we had to do finance but it was all Dave Ramsey videos and packets of papers lol

I asked my dad for financial help after I graduated and he tried to sign me up for one of these classes instead

I am literally so excited. I hate Dave Ramsey so much.

Thank you for the pod today. I just got to Las Vegas for a work conference and am anxiety-ridden. Las Vegas is NOT MY SCENE! Your familiar voices are lowering my blood pressure, even though your talking about a grifter and alas Vegas is all about grift.

I remember my aunt constantly talking about "Financial Peace University" and how much it helped her and my uncle. She's a nurse practitioner and he was a contractor. To this day, she still buys all their clothes, jewelry, linens, etc at thrift stores and yard sales. Everyone at her church that took the classes made 6 figures - back in the 90's.

Re: Mrs. P's Google/Yelp reviews tangent... HIGHLY recommended the podcast Beach Too Sandy, Water Too Wet... it's just reading reviews mostly from yelp and Google. It's so good.

I grew up listening to Dave on car rides as a kid, I hated his program so much.

NeverEnoughHammers

when I saw the topic of this week’s episode, I had the same reaction as Alex when he found capitalism.com

NeverEnoughHammers

Also, mildly annoyed that the website isn’t as old as conservapedia

"say the most basic shit with confidence" is literally my software support job in a beautifully sad nutshell.

review_of_academic_reviews

YEP. He is proof that if you just have blind confidence and nothing else, you too can have high school kids do packets about the stuff you say which is scary but also oddly comforting as I try to figure out what I want to be when I grow up (I’m 27)

The Traitors is so funny! Second season is all D-list celebs that had been on other reality shows.

Moth_Goblin

I hate to admit I did hold onto some of the lessons, especially about credit cards, and it helped me out. But otherwise I forgot EVERYTHING lol

NiCOOL

I grew up, unfortunately, Southern Baptist. First y'all cover Hillsong and now Dave Ramsey! Welcome to my childhood indoctrination. 😂

As an ex pizza hut general manager they still do the book it personal pans!! Maybe they will still have it when baby pearlmania is old enough to get them!!

A major thing that Dave Ramsey pushed that y’all may have skipped is how much he pushed and emphasized using cash instead of using your cards. Specifically the envelope method. You weren’t supposed to transfer either. So you had to carry like 10 envelopes with you l, each one labeled “groceries, gas, etc” .

Also we were taught Dave Ramsey in church in Sunday school both in high school and after graduation. It made me feel so gross and negative.

I bet Dave has mostly bots and inactive accounts following him. There’s no way the numbers are legit. Most of his base has died because they’re old and didn’t believe in Covid when they died of Covid. Also I think most ppl who listen to him still are rage listeners if anything. Then of course the Jordan Peterson crowd. There’s some tools to figure out if there’s mostly bots following you and I’m sure that’s how some brands (cough Elon, Fox, Trump) still survive

The Pod is Coming From Inside the Cast!

What an infuriating episode, this stuff makes me so angry. In no small part because I was the victim of a lot of financial abuse from my ex-partner. I'm still digging my way out of that mess. How about THAT Dave Ramsey?!

thatEgirl

I have an awful coworker who is gen z loves Dave Ramsey and it just makes sense that they're both insufferable.

Hey Mr.P, Im coming to America in September/October, Cali/NY respectively, have you got plans for shows in those months? I'd love to see one of your shows while I'm in the country. P.s. I'm coming from Australia 😁

Growing up in church in the state of Tennessee, I have always been aware how awful this man is. I had no idea people didn’t know this man. He’s even worse than I thought

Inigo Montoya

Ok, based on the comments.... I feel like imma need to hydrate before I start this episode 😰

Katie Brown

Unfortunately, I was forced by my parents to take his class in highschool. Learned that I should probably be doing the opposite of anything this man says.

I need a Mrs. P paraphrased tshirt series. “I know the Bible buts it’s all mish moshed with other traumas.”

Psyunide

You can feel the sass in Mrs. P’s mmhmms.

Hjonklike

I listened to this just in time because I ended up googling non profit credit recovery near me and got a bunch of great results. I feel like I can breathe 😊

*Me a Scorpio at the end of the podcast* 👀

My brother has a catering business for private jets. Someone ordered a single can of Diet Coke and paid $85 for it to be delivered from Sedona to Flagstaff. I’m not even kidding. He sent the invoice with the product in our group chat. This needs to be an episode.

Lizze Liberty

Mrs. P, I know you read the comments. It used to be a joke with our family with how much people pay for this shit, but it’s really not funny to me anymore.

pleasedontletmitchoutlivetrump

"Don't hit that allegedly button!" I almost fell off my chair laughing. I was trying to figure out what a potential employers starting salary was 2 days ago and Glassdoor would not let me see anything until made an account and I reviewed a past employer and that's when I knew something was fishy. Thanks for the heads up Mrs. P! Yall doing the Lords work out here- table flipping and all! 🤣

jessimightpanic

There's this family-friendly comedian who does Christian events, but he always makes fun of Dave Ramsey. His best joke is asking why Dave's website takes credit cards.

That’sdadmomtoyou

Raise your hand if Dave Ramsey’s video course WAS your public high school finance curriculum 😃🙋‍♀️ 🙄

That_Wokelahoman_Teacher

I’m kind of shocked that you didn’t cover the whole witch accusation thing.

I work for a personal loan company and I work with debt management companies negotiating settlements on defaulted loans all day, and the “snowball” thing, which is a bad description, is basically how these DMC’s work while taking an up front fee, and a percentage of your monthly payment in return. Feel free to contact me if you really want to be PO’d about payday loans, debt management companies (even the nonprofit ones) and how they work together to keep people in debt. If I could get any other work from home gig, I would.
