Welcome back to Schitt with Money!

This week, Peita and Emma are diving into Season 1, Episode 8: Allez Vous - where the Rose family gets their first real taste of earning money in Schitt’s Creek. Or, at least, trying to.

In This Episode:

🚗💼 Johnny hits the unemployment office – After a very Roland-style road trip and a hilariously awkward encounter with Marnie, Johnny tries to get government support… and a little dignity back.

🧴🥂 Moira and David get MLM’d – David gets sucked in by shiny serums and champagne-coloured dreams. Moira sees the scam a mile away—but even she ends up giving the sales pitch of the century.

🎭📦 Desperate Housewives and struggling actors, unite – Allez Vous takes over Schitt’s Creek. But it turns out... everyone’s an agent.

💍🤔 Alexis starts to question Ted – Is this relationship really what she wants? Or is Mr Perfect maybe too perfect?

Schitt We Learned:

💸 Not all “opportunities” are actually opportunities. MLMs sell dreams, not products. The real money’s in getting you to join.

🎭 Main character energy can come from the most surprising places. Roland struts into the unemployment office like he’s James Bond, and somehow wins.

🧠 Retirement and identity crises go hand in hand. Johnny's struggle to adjust without a CEO title mirrors real-life clients trying to rediscover who they are beyond their career.

💬 Shiny branding doesn’t equal value. Whether it’s beauty products or crypto, if it promises quick wins and exclusivity, it’s probably dodgy.

Remember: not every money-making idea is a business. Sometimes it’s just a cult in pastel packaging. 💁‍♀️
