    In this free-flowing episode, Annie & Jerry reflect on the dynamics of work and feminism, discussing the subsequent challenges faced and the effectiveness of second-wave feminism in light of persistent wage disparities and the increased burden of dual-income households. Then we move on to the idea of "prepping" for the apocalypse, the evil computers that live inside Teslas, and the end-of-day vibes NYC has been giving off.

    A&J also reflects on their journey from pursuing art to embracing the business world, feeling conflicted about their choices and the loss of joy in their artistic practice. Jerry recalls advice from a professor predicting the challenges of sustaining an art career and feeling torn between artistic fulfillment and financial stability.

    Why Do Artists Get Paid Last?

    Why Do Artists Get Paid Last?

    In episode 2, Annie and Jerry discuss the Cape Town cleanse, swag looting in First Class, and the drunk dialing on Phenergan. Despite facing health issues during the trip and not being able to fully explore the art scene as planned, Jerry shares anecdotes about her experiences, including some of the incredible galleries and art works she encountered while in Cape Town.

    Jerry and Annie also address an important issue in the art world regarding the fair treatment and timely payment of artists. Upon hearing her (formerly) favorite Cape Town galleries has a reputation for stiffing their artists, the gals discuss the mechanisms that put artists in a vulnerable position to get stiffed by galleries and reflect on the need for proper contracts and legal protection for artists before exhibition sales.

    Additionally, the ladies touch on the controversy surrounding luxury retailer Hermes and their alleged practice of reserving Birkin bags for high-spending customers comparing and contrasting the Art Market to the luxury retail market.

    And finally, Jerry takes the opportunity to rip apart Art Speak, again, and Annie talks about the "out of touch" Whitney Biennial currently on view in New York.
