Robert: December 29, 2024. Welcome to the Women and Money podcast,
Robert: as well as everyone smart enough to listen. Producer Robert here.
Robert: So this is the final episode of 2024, and we're
Robert: gonna close it with some things that you haven't heard
Robert: on the show before.
Robert: Now, we haven't done this in a few years, and
Robert: in fact KT reminded all of us about that on
Robert: the last episode.
Suze: Oh we do?
KT: We need a year end. We need a summary. We Robert,
KT: why don't you do our year-end funny one?
Suze: Yea Robert, what's wrong with you?
KT: Let Robert do a year-end Sunday Suze School that isn't
KT: a school at all. It's Sunday fun with Suze a
KT: year end.
Robert: OK,
Robert: so here we are. It is Sunday fun with Suze
Robert: and KT.
Robert: Now, doing a podcast is hard work. It's fun. Believe me,
Robert: it's fun, but it is hard work, and sometimes it
Robert: takes a little while for KT and Suze to get
Robert: ramped up to start an episode, especially first thing in
Robert: the morning.
KT: Are you ready?
Suze: I'm ready. Are you ready?
KT: It's a bit, make it a little bit louder, just
KT: a little bit.
KT: OK. All right, that's better. Yeah, I can hear.
Suze: Is that good? Is that a little better? Are you sure?
KT: I'm positive.
Suze: Without a shadow of a doubt.
KT: I'm, I'm, I'm positive.
KT: It's good.
Suze: If you were younger and you said you were positive,
Suze: would that mean that you were having a baby?
KT: Get on with it.
Suze: Are you sure you want me to?
KT: Get ready to record.
Suze: What if I don't want to record?
KT: Stop playing. This is serious business. It's our podcast. Come on.
KT: I usually don't work Sunday.
Suze: (Laughing) I thought you didn't work any day.
KT: I really don't work Sunday. I'll throw in, I'll throw
KT: in a Wednesday, but not a Sunday. OK, let's go.
KT: What's the, what's the date of this podcast? I have, huh?
KT: What's the date of it? Where's your...
Suze: The 11th.
KT: OK, let's do it.
Suze: Yeah, you sure?
KT: Look at you crying.
KT: You're not allowed to laugh on Sunday because it's not
KT: the day I work. Ready, let's go.
KT: Stop it.
Suze: I can't help it.
KT: OK, ready?
Suze: No, I'm not ready.
KT: Here we go. Welcome to the Women and Money podcast.
Suze: I'm not recording yet.
KT: Press that button. Welcome to the Women and Money podcast.
KT: This is KT, and it's the Ask Suze anything you want...
Suze: OK, let's do it really.
KT: All right, OK.
Suze: Take it, KT.
KT: Welcome to the Women and Money podcast where you can...
Suze: Wait, wait, you got to do it right, KT, if
Suze: you're going to do it.
Suze: And everybody's smart enough to listen.
KT: Oh yea, I forgot forgot...
Suze: You cannot forget the "everybody's."
Robert: Making a podcast is a team effort, and we have
Robert: a lean, happy machine here at the Women and Money
Robert: podcast as well as everybody smart enough to listen, can't
Robert: forget the everybody's. Now, I'm not in the room when
Robert: Suze and KT record.
Robert: As Suze has said before, when she does a Suze
Robert: school on Sundays, she'll sit down, open the mic, press record,
Robert: and the message flows through her to us.
Robert: When she and KT do the Ask KT and
Robert: Suze episodes, it's pretty much the same thing. KT chooses
Robert: the questions that you write in to ask Suze, that's
Robert: S U Z E podcast at gmail.com, or you ask
Robert: them on the Women and Money community app, which you
Robert: can download from the Apple app or Google Play Store. Anyway,
Robert: KT goes through those questions and then Suze answers them
Robert: in real time. Now, sometimes as the sessions are happening,
Robert: KT will switch from her role as a co-host, and
Robert: she slips back on her creative director hat.
Robert: Well, here are some examples of that.
KT: I just want to say something when you pronounce fund,
KT: get the D in there. Otherwise it comes out like
KT: exchange rated fun no but not fun fun fund versus
KT: fun exchange traded fund everybody.
KT: Versus exchange traded fun.
Suze: Exchange traded fund.
KT: Well, Robert, you know what I'm trying to teach her? Diction.
Suze: My diction is incredible.
KT: It is because you're from Chicago, so it's automatic.
Suze: Do not make fun of people from Chicago.
KT: But it's automatic. But you have to think when you
KT: speak fast, you forget the D.
Suze: Are you kidding me? This is scary, everybody.
KT: All right, here we go.
Suze: Do you have all the money to continue to carry
Suze: all the expenses of that house without an income from
Suze: your partner and vice versa? You, there are so many
Suze: questions that you need to think about, so just think
Suze: closely about it. Why are you making a sound?
KT: Robert, don't put this in. It's vice versa, not vice versa,
KT: vice versa, vice versa.
KT: Not vice versa.
Suze: You can leave this in Robert.
KT: Wait, no, it's, she sounds like she's singing like an
KT: Italian song, vice versa. It's vice versa.
KT: Robert, right? weigh in. OK, my next question is...
Suze: Well just in case she's right, then you can cut
Suze: in vice versa. OK, ready? Jesus.
KT: Leave it, Robert.
Robert: You know, I actually got some requests for that vice
Robert: versa bit to appear in the year-end episode. So sometimes
Robert: when you have two people who love each other so
Robert: much and love doing the podcast together.
Robert: Sometimes things go off the rails.
KT: (Suze laughing) We should have a video so they can
KT: see my mouth zip.
KT: Water.
Suze: (We hear Suze drinking water, then laughing).
KT: We have a lot of sound effects in this podcast,
KT: don't we, Robert? We should do one of outtakes to
KT: Suze's sound effects. Now she's spraying her throat. She's putting
KT: ice cubes on her vagal nerve. OK, are we ready? OK,
KT: so what was the answer?
Suze: (Suze laughs for a long time) Oh God
KT: All right, go ahead. Come on, come on, get your
KT: military bearings.
Suze: (laughing) I'm trying to do so
KT: You would have been horrible in the military.
KT: Can you get a tissue? Do you have a tissue there?
KT: Blow your nose.
KT: (The sound of Suze blowing her nose) More sound effects, Robert.
Suze: (Suze laughs for a long time)
KT: Stop laughing.
Suze: I can't help it. You should see her face, Robert.
KT: (Both KT and Suze laughing)
KT: Stop laughing. She's crying. She can't believe she's married to me.
KT: That's enough, cause it's getting now too, it's getting boring.
KT: These are good. This is enough.
Robert: All right, we'll do just a couple more. Sometimes it's
Robert: a little tough to end.
Suze: Oh
Suze: God, take us out.
KT: OK, so. If you need any more answers on Roth, just
KT: write to me directly. Here we go, everybody, we're taking
KT: it out. Just remember there's only 3 things you need.
KT: (Lots of laughter) You need to know in life.
KT: You don't have that Roth.
KT: Just remember, people first.
KT: (The sound of Suze drinking water) Good sound. OK, there's
KT: only one thing I want you to remember.
KT: (More uncontrollable laughter) OK, this is KT. There's only one
KT: thing I want you to remember, everybody. People first, then money,
KT: then things. And if you open that Roth and you
KT: listen to those, you do those three things, you will
KT: be unstoppable.
Robert: All right, so here we are. We're at the end.
Robert: I suppose the lesson here on this Sunday Fun with
Robert: Suze and KT is that no matter how hard you work,
Robert: you need to have some fun. You need to put
Robert: that balance in.
Robert: I've been working on this podcast with Suze and KT
Robert: since January of 2019, so almost five years ago, and
Robert: it just warms my heart. It really makes this effort
Robert: so worth it when we get to see how many
Robert: of you are helped by Suze.
Robert: So thank you very much for listening and for learning.
Robert: And now, because it's proper producer protocol.
Robert: One must let the host actually end the show.
Suze: Happy New Year. We love you all very much. There's
Suze: only one thing that I really want you to remember
Suze: when it comes to your money, and it is this;
Suze: people first, then money, then things. And if you do that,
Suze: stay healthy and stay strong.
Suze: I promise you you will be unstoppable.
