01.15 The One Where Capitalism Makes You Give Up On Your Dreams

In this episode, Joey helps Ross with his dirty talking, Chandler
struggles to figure out what he’s doing with his life, and Monica
gets hired as an Executive Chef only to have the owner of the
restaurant get obnoxiously high for her interview. In this
episode we discuss the anxiety involved in picking a stable,
well-paying job versus following your dreams. We also unpack the
representation of smoking pot in the media, The War on Drugs and
the ways in which policing of marijuana disproportionately
affects Black Indigenous People of Colour. Strap yourself in, and
let's get into it!

We would like to state that this podcast was recorded in
'Montreal', or Tiohtiá:ke, which we recognize is unceded
indigenous land of the traditional territories of the
Kanien’kehá:ka, 'Mohawk', Anishinabeg, 'Algonquin', and other
peoples. We recognize the indigenous peoples as the rightful
custodians of this land and are grateful and respect every which
way they have taken care of and fought for this land, including,
and not exclusive to, the Oka Crisis.
Though we continuously are working to use this podcast as a
platform to address and unpack systems of oppression we also
recognize our whiteness, that we are able bodied, our class
privilege, and, in addition, our newness at attempting to create
this media. We welcome any insight, feedback or resources on how
we can do this better, or if we are doing it wrong.
