Hello and welcome to the Glengarry Glen Ross episode of Slate Money Goes to the movies. I'm Felix Salmon of Axios and I'm pointing to my long-term co-host here and I'm going to say

What's your name? What's my name?

Fuck you. That's my name. That's my name. I drive an $80,000 BMW, that's my name.

Or whatever, right?

But your name is not I drive an $80,000 BMW your name is actually Mary Childs.

That's accurate. I stand correct. My name is Mary Childs. Yeah, not quite the same punch.

Not quite the same punch, but it is a fabulous name and you're a fabulous person and you have all manner of awesome stories on the radio right?

Yes I try to deliver awesome stories I'm a co-host at Planet Money and we do fun narratives that are about like business economics, finance things. They're usually capers, yet educational.

This here movie, I'm not sure if it counts as being either educational or a caper,

although it could probably make claim to both if you really twisted.

But we are going to talk about Glengarry Glenrrast, written by David Mamet directed by someone entirely forgettable and acted by all-star cast.

Everyone you've ever heard of.

Of white men.

Lots of white men doing lots of David Mammut acting.

It's a movie that has really resonated for decades.

People love to quote it.

And we're gonna unpack why coming up on slate money goes to the movies.

I'm not trying to be a diva but should we actually say what my name is?

Maybe. It's Emily Peck, Emily Peck of Fundrise.

That is who I am.

My name is not Fuck you.
