When I'm not hosting this podcast, I am writing books, but it is really hard for me to write when I'm at home,

so I like to find remote cabins in the middle of nowhere to just hang out and write.

But I hate the idea of my house just sitting empty doing nothing but collecting dust and definitely not collecting checks.

And that's why I'm an Airbnb host. It's one of my all-time favorite side hustles.

Other popular side hustles are awesome too, don't get me wrong, but they often involve big startup costs. By hosting your space, you're monetizing what you already have access to. It doesn't get easier than that. And if you're new to the side hustle game and you're anxious about getting started,

don't worry because you're not in this alone. Airbnb makes it super easy to host. I mean if I could do it, you could do it.

And your home might be worth a lot more than you think.

I'm Nicole Lapin, the only financial expert you don't need a dictionary to

understand. It's time for some money episode. These are the episodes where I give bizarre headlines from the worlds of business and finance and a comedian gives their famously non-expert insight on the topic.

Today my guest is the hilarious Gareth Reynolds.

Gareth is a stand-up comedian and co-host of two awesome podcasts, The Dollap Podcast, and we're here to help.

And boy, do we have some doosies that I need help with today. We talk about the truly odd decisions some brands have made for April Fool's Day,

the rise of the AI girlfriend industry, and private jets for dogs. Seriously, here's Gareth.

Careth Reynolds, welcome to money rehab.

Hi, Nicole, thanks for having me.

Hi, you've got a much better set than I do is what I'm realizing now.

But you have a serious broadcaster voice.

He came in so hot.

I like it.

Oh, do I?
