Credit unions, known for being money stuff.

Famous for being non-profit stuff.

Nobody thinks much about them, so let's have some fun.

Let's find out why credit unions are secretly incredibly fascinating. Fascinating.

Hey there, folks. Welcome to a whole new podcast episode, a podcast all about why being alive is more

interesting than people think it is. My name is Alex Schmidt and I'm not alone because I'm joined by my co-host,

Katie Golden. Katie, what is your relationship to the topic or opinion of the topic of credit unions?

Big fan. Big fan of credit unions. I am part of a credit union.

Oh, me too. I feel like I'm biased. I'm going to be real with you, Alex. I don't really know

so much about it. I feel like this is going to be very educational

because for me,

like a bank or credit union

is kind of a magical space

where I go in.

I give them my money

and I feel like they put it in a vault

with a bunch of other money

and like they tuck my money in to bed every night,

give it, good night kisses, warm milk. And then when I come, I can come and come pick up my money

and I'm like, how is your day at bank money? And they're like, it was great. It was great,

mommy. That's how I think banks work.

Yeah, I share some of those things.
