Logan is Juliette’s Junkie Mom and Mike is Lloyd Braun

Who are you on TV (I’m me).

Apocalyptic Sensibilities

Logan:: I keep watching the gif of that meteor in Russia and thinking about how I would totally and completely lose my mind if I had seen that with my eyeballs in real life. Well maybe not totally. But … yeah probably basically totally.

Talking About Being Cash Poor

Logan: This has been a week of not spending for me, because I already spent all my money and we don’t get paid for … some days. So, no, I can’t go to dinner. And no, I can’t go to the bar. But the question is, do I go beyond that, in talking to friends? Do I say, I can’t go not because I don’t want to see you—I really want to see you!—I just have no money?

Logan Saw a Dude Steal Some Coffee And Said Nothing And Mike Is Like, That’s Wrong

Do we have an obligation to stop theft??? DO WE????

The Way We Think About Debt

Mike: One of the things we examined this week was what debt means to us as individuals. What should we think about when paying it off? There is no one right answer, of course, because debt means something different to each of us. So let’s talk about this. Logan, your debt is all consumer, right? You don’t have any student loans.

In Which We Talk About Working in Retail and Employee Theft

Mike: The Awl had an interesting post about shoplifting yesterday. Have you ever shoplifted?

New Year, New You (Same Mike)

Resolving (and not resolving).

Taking the Other Way Home

Mike: Logan, how are you doing this week? I’ve been calling you a “ball of mishaps.” A “walking ball of mishaps.”

Who Pays Writers?

Manjula Martin has invited writers to anonymously share which websites and magazines pay and she is sharing the responses on a Tumblr. This is not a new idea (see Ed2010′s salary reports), but it’s interesting and welcome and totally up our alley.

Structure, Consistency, Accountability

Mike: So, Logan, you mentioned today that you have to figure out a way to survive for the next two weeks without cash. You are cash poor, as we’ve learned from watching Nashville. What’s the plan?
