A few months ago, your humble Bitches went on the road to beautiful, exotic Cincinnati, where we took the stage at the EconoMe conference to do that thing we do.
As dedicated citizens of Bitch Nation remember, we last performed at EconoMe in 2021. At that time we delivered a Very Serious Main Stage Presentation titled “Forged in the FIRE of Financial Fuckups.” You can watch it on YouTube—our moms think it’s great!
But this time, EconoMe founder, coordinator, marketing director, secretary, and janitor Diania Merriam told us “I’m so, so tired please just do something where I don’t have to be involved.”
Would she come to regret those words? You be the judge! For we ended up recording a LIVE episode of the Bitches Get Riches podcast, complete with special guest, audience participation, and a dedicated team of Ohio’s finest bartenders. You can listen wherever fine podcasts are streamed, as well as on our YouTube channel.
Getting lucky in the game of life
We were in rare form that night… our Bitches After Dark form, that is. And you can absolutely tell based on the audio quality. (Listen, we’re two recovering theater kids. It’s not our fault we learned to over-project at a young age.) It was all our long-suffering producer Ducky could do to rein us in.
The theme of this live show was Getting Lucky in the Game of Life. So we shared all the sordid details of our recent luck—but mostly lack of luck—in our personal lives and careers. Then we brought out our titty-swangin’ pal (her words, not ours) Amanda Holden to pimp her new book, How to Be a Rich Old Lady before getting down to business.
And that business? ‘Twas a brand new, totally original, proprietary tabletop role-playing game that we just invented and that no one has ever heard of before. It definitely wasn’t Milton Bradley’s The Game of Life. And we definitely didn’t mock its utterly quaint understanding of salaries, home prices, and college debt.
With help from viewers like you
Did you listen to/watch the live podcast episode? Good! Do you want to see/hear more like it? Even better! (For the sake of narrative flow, I’m assuming your answers to both questions were “yes” and “hell yes.”)
Right now, the best way to help your humble Bitches keep doing what we do is to watch and subscribe to our YouTube channel. This will not only supply us with the numerical affirmation we need as content creators, but it’ll help us make money. And making money means we get to 1) keep paying our beloved producer an equitable wage, 2) keep paying our taxes and bills as a business, and 3) keep paying ourselves in sodium-heavy snacks and craft beer. Because all labor deserves compensation, even ours.
If you want to be super duper extra helpful, you can also join our Patreon at any level! We do fun stuff there like content polls, book giveaways, and exclusive extras. It’s fun! Join us if you want!
