I'm going to talk about it. 36 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: So we met somebody who worked at Disney and let's 37 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: just say we didn't have to pay full price. 38 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 2: So you got a friends and family discount. 39 00:01:55,960 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, is what we'll call it.

Yeah, what 45 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: it was. I mean, I could see how a parent 46 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 1: bringing a kid would be very overwhelming because it's just 47 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,519 Speaker 1: a lot you know, but like as like three adults 48 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: who can like be like, yeah, we don't want to 49 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 1: do that, we want to do this. It was just 50 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 1: really a lot of fun. 51 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 2: I feel like that is the way to do is 52 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,919 Speaker 2: to Disney World. Like my parents took us, all three 53 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 2: of us. There's four of us, but they took the 54 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 2: three of us a few times. I guess when they 55 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 2: had four they were like hell no, but they took 56 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 2: three of us. And I was like under the age 57 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 2: of five, and I look at photos and every photo 58 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 2: I'm like, I look sad, I'm crying, I'm like pitching 59 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 2: a fit, and I'm like, man, maybe they should have 60 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,359 Speaker 2: waited until I was old enough to appreciate the experience 61 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 2: and not just whining because you know, I had to 62 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 2: walk around Disney year old. But the like the good parts, 63 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 2: like the one of the best things that I have 64 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 2: from that time. It's like all the little videos, home videos, 65 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 2: old school videos of my family at Disney World. They 66 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 2: were it wasn't all like dramatic mandy moments, but yeah, 67 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 2: did you know that you could. One of the things 68 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 2: I did recently was I found all my dad's and 69 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 2: my mom's old VHS tapes and I it wasn't cheap, 70 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 2: but I went and got them like converted into digital 71 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:31,920 Speaker 2: files and DVDs because they were like falling apart. I mean, 72 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 2: the tape was coming out and I wanted a way 73 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 2: to preserve those memories, and I went to Walgreens. I 74 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 2: wonder if anyone out there has been to a better 75 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 2: like has an idea of a better service. But we 76 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 2: just picked Walgreens randomly and it took a couple of weeks. 77 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 2: But now it's really cool because now we have them 78 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 2: like online. 79 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: That's awesome. 80 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 2: I think it was maybe twenty bucks per DVD. I 81 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 2: want to say I spent a couple hundred bucks on it, 82 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 2: but that was for maybe yeah, I think. 83 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, because it's like these are things you're never going 84 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 1: to be able to see again. We weren't really like 85 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: a videoing family. I mean, we took a lot of pictures, 86 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: but not really a whole lot of video or I'm 87 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: trying to think maybe we did. Who knows, because you know, 88 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 1: we all had those little video cameras. I think my 89 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: dad does have. I should look because that would be 90 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 1: great to look back and be like, oh my gosh, 91 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: look at young Tiff acting like a brad. 92 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 2: Well, that's really awesome.

So I have been following all the news 166 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 2: today and they finally figured out what happened. So essentially, 167 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 2: at this award, at the Oscars, Price Waterhouse Coopers is 168 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 2: this huge accounting firm and they are in charge for 169 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 2: the last eighty years of counting the ballots and creating 170 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 2: the envelopes that announce the winners, and they keep them 171 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 2: under lock and key. There's two people assign and they 172 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 2: each have one briefcase, and one person is standing on 173 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 2: either end of the stage just to be ready for 174 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 2: whichever side the presenters come out. So if you come 175 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 2: from the left, you get an envelope from that person. 176 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 2: If you come from the right, then the other person 177 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 2: hands you their envelope. And everything went fine the whole night, 178 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 2: and then when they got to best Picture, the guy 179 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 2: who was handing the envelope to the presenter who was 180 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 2: who were fade unaway and Warren Batty handed them the 181 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 2: wrong envelope, handed them his copy of the Best Actress 182 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 2: winner who the other person? You had the car? The 183 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 2: other his counterpart on the other side, had already handed 184 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 2: out her Best Actress envelope to the other presenter, so 185 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 2: he had one left because that presenter hadn't come from 186 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,199 Speaker 2: his side, and instead of handing the Best Picture envelope, 187 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,440 Speaker 2: he handed the Best Actress. But what boggles the mind 188 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 2: is that Warren Batty, if you watch it, like if 189 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 2: you were watching live like I was, I was like, 190 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 2: why is he trying to make this drag out and 191 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 2: be funny about it? Because he opened it and looked 192 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 2: and he smart and then he showed it to Fay 193 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 2: and he's like, you know, like it felt like he 194 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 2: was screwing with everyone, and I was like, just say it. 195 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 2: And then Fay is like, oh, it's La La Land. 196 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 2: And it turns out what he had why he was 197 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 2: so confused is because it said best Actress from La 198 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 2: La Land. But they read it anyway, which is like 199 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 2: if I don't know, I mean, I guess you can 200 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 2: say what they do in their shoes. But like someone 201 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 2: should have been like, wait a second, and let's figure 202 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 2: out what is happening before. And then it took over 203 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 2: two minutes like la Land, and then was up there 204 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 2: like three people had given speeches. Three and then you 205 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 2: see you see a guy with like a headset kind 206 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 2: of milling, and you see some confused faces in the 207 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,679 Speaker 2: crowd behind the people giving speeches, and all of a sudden, 208 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 2: the guy who's giving a speech cuts himself off and 209 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 2: he's like, actually, guys, we lost. And then the I 210 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:53,599 Speaker 2: forget I don't know who exactly it was. One of 211 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,680 Speaker 2: the producers held up the correct envelope and said, Moonlight, 212 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 2: there's been a mistake. You guys won. Yeah, and the 213 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 2: entire holy crazy crazy, and then the Moonlight cast is 214 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 2: like and he had to keep saying, it's not a joke, 215 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 2: it's not a joke. You guys won, And he held 216 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 2: up the envelope and the camera got it and you 217 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,959 Speaker 2: can see Moonlight best picture. And then of course everyone 218 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 2: in the like there's a great meme of like Taraji 219 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 2: and Octavia Taragi's face just like the whole night. They 220 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 2: should have had a camera on her face for every moment. 221 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 2: She is the best. Everyone just like lost their minds. 222 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 2: That's like, gee, never happened ever. I mean there was 223 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,439 Speaker 2: one time I read, like in the sixties when Sammy 224 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 2: Davis Junior messed up the the music like the Best 225 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 2: Song Winner or something like that.

And so there's been all you know, 229 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 2: of course, there's been like think pieces on you know, 230 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 2: stealing the moment from Moonlight and you know they were 231 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 2: sort of robbed of their whole win or whatever. 232 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:02,679 Speaker 1: I mean. 233 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 2: This is a film with an all black cast about 234 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 2: a gay teenager being bullied and his mother who's a 235 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 2: crack addict, and he's taken in by a drug dealer 236 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 2: in his neighborhood and it shows his his like journey 237 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 2: through adults from childhood to adulthood, and you see three 238 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 2: versions of his life.

He's like that was 265 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 2: that was so gracious. I don't know what I would 266 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 2: have done in that position.

If you ever get in trouble, just 288 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 1: blame Steve Harper. 289 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 2: Just blame because I mean, but I was like, that's 290 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 2: miss America. This is the freaking Academy. Yay, all drama 291 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 2: and all that aside, Like Moonlight is I mean, if 292 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,679 Speaker 2: you haven't seen it yet, watch it. It is beautiful, 293 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 2: and then watch Moonlight too, because it's beautiful. I've said before, 294 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 2: it's so impossible to compare the two movies. They are 295 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 2: two different. I think to say one is better than 296 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 2: the other. I think they're both extraordinary for what they are. 297 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,839 Speaker 2: But Moonlight, like, there's never like in terms of like 298 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,839 Speaker 2: originality the subject matter, there was not another There's never 299 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 2: been a film like it.

She went 330 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 1: to jail for doing that, came back and then landed 331 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 1: a spot on Love and Hip Hop, where, oddly enough, 332 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 1: she wasn't really the drama one like you know, like 333 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: everybody else on those Love and Hip hop kind of shows, 334 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 1: it's all about dramatics, but her her storyline on there 335 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: is really about her and her husband, who like waited 336 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 1: for her. They got married right before she she one 337 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 1: away or she I think day actually got married while 338 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 1: she was in prison, and I don't know. It's it's 339 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 1: oddly beautiful their love story and how much he loves her. 340 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 2: So that's oh, oh okay, I'm trying to catch up 341 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 2: while you're talking. Wait, it's like the Mink mil Drake 342 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 2: beef of twenty sixteen. 343 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, kind of a girl because they haven't really had 344 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 1: female rap hip hop beef in a long time. 345 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 2: Was she like beefing with Little Kim? 346 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 1: No, so, Nicki Minaj was a little bit beefing, was 347 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 1: Little Kim, Because I guess Kim felt that Nikki kind 348 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 1: of basically stole her whole swag, which I'm not gonna 349 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 1: say I disagree with. I mean, you know, Nicki's like 350 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 1: when you really look at Little Kim and like even 351 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 1: some of the ways she dresses where Nikki dressed at first, 352 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 1: and some of her inflections and cadence and stuff like that. 353 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna totally disagree, so but you know, but 354 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 1: no one has really been able to when they've kind 355 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 1: of come at Nikki really make a DBT and then 356 00:16:55,960 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 1: enter in remim aka Gangsta Boo and so she. I 357 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 1: guess Remy has been putting out music and actually surprisingly 358 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 1: because you know, you don't often get a chance to 359 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: come back, her music has been doing well. She just 360 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,119 Speaker 1: got nominated for a Grammy. She had a song out 361 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 1: where people were like, ooh, are you talking about Nicki, 362 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,439 Speaker 1: and she specifically addressed and said no, Like in an interurview, 363 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,119 Speaker 1: she said, I'm not talking about Nicki stopped trying to 364 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 1: make beef between rap women. But I guess Nicki felt 365 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 1: like she was talking about her. So Nicki went on 366 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,159 Speaker 1: to do I think two cameos where she clearly was 367 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 1: dissing remiwand so Remi wand came out with a song 368 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 1: called Sheather, which is the play on ether. I don't 369 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,159 Speaker 1: know if you remember the I don't know how you 370 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:37,640 Speaker 1: cannot remember the jay z Nos beef, which was put 371 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,879 Speaker 1: to bed by Naz's epic most epic diss record of 372 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: all time, Fight Me if you want, called Ether where 373 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,399 Speaker 1: he kills jay Z on this record, and so she 374 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 1: did like a play on it called Sheather with the 375 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 1: same beat. And although I was not like super impressed 376 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,159 Speaker 1: with the flow and stuff, just the things that she 377 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 1: was saying were like, well, the part that really struck 378 00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,399 Speaker 1: me wasn't really anything else other than the financial I 379 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 1: was like, wow, because you know, me financed. So here's 380 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 1: the part that struck me. For those of you're like, 381 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,359 Speaker 1: where's all this going? The financial piece, I was like, 382 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:12,360 Speaker 1: So rebby Las says in this rap, Nikki, you have 383 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 1: a three sixty deal, which is supposed to be like 384 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,160 Speaker 1: the worst deal in the in the in the record industry. 385 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 1: And what that deal is is like a major record 386 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 1: label gets on like a major artist. So let's just 387 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 1: say Lil Wayne, and then Lil Wayne is under or 388 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 1: or signed somebody like a Drake, So Lil Wayne now 389 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 1: has its own record label under that label, and then 390 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 1: Drake has his own record label under Little Wayne. So 391 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 1: basically it's like major record label, major artists record label 392 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 1: under them, then major artists under them's recular so like 393 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 1: three record labels, and then they signed Nikki, so like, 394 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 1: that's like, I mean, that's not exactly what happened, but 395 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 1: I think she said first it's like Republic, then cash money, 396 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,919 Speaker 1: then young money or something like that. And she says 397 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,440 Speaker 1: in the rap that five people touch your money before 398 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,920 Speaker 1: you do, because it's one of the worst deals because 399 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 1: one you're not directly signed, so you're not It's bad 400 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 1: enough that a label gets a cut, but it's like 401 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 1: main label gets a cut, secondary label gets a cut, 402 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,480 Speaker 1: third label gets a cut before you get a cut. 403 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 1: And then on top of that, with this three sixty deal, 404 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:21,120 Speaker 1: apparently you are responsible for paying for everything, so you're 405 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:23,159 Speaker 1: you have to pay for your tour, you have to 406 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 1: pay for your for your videos, you have to pay 407 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,160 Speaker 1: for everything before you get any money. So it's very difficult. 408 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,919 Speaker 1: Although Nikki is very successful remy Mansea, you know, you 409 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 1: can say what you want, but I own all my publishing, 410 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 1: I own the rights and the masters to all my music. 411 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 1: So she was like, for every one record I sell 412 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 1: for you to make the same amount of money, you 413 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 1: have to sell ten. And I just thought that was 414 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,360 Speaker 1: really interesting, like wow, that people are still signing deals 415 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 1: that put them in a financial space. Like that, where 416 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 1: like you we've all like you know, seem like you know, 417 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,880 Speaker 1: you hear about a new edition all of these kind 418 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,879 Speaker 1: of like old skilled musical acts that like TLC that 419 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 1: got one dollar for going on tour that basically the 420 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 1: label charges them to be an artist and owns all 421 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 1: of their rights. And I just thought, wow, NICKI has 422 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:07,719 Speaker 1: a deal like that. So that's the part that kind 423 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 1: of interests me, Like, wow. 424 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,959 Speaker 2: Now see where was remy ma when Nicki needed a 425 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 2: mentor and a woman to help her navigate these treacherous 426 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 2: waters of like jail business. But like you know how 427 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 2: it is, I'm trying to think of a teaching moment 428 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 2: out of all this, and it's like, at what point 429 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 2: do you I mean, competition among women in professional careers 430 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 2: is always like, you know, it's hyped. You know, it's 431 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:36,360 Speaker 2: people love it, people love the cattiness and stuff like that. 432 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 2: But at the same time, I feel like, you know, 433 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 2: we should a lot of cases or maybe not as like, 434 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 2: but doesn't get publicized is when women actually help women 435 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 2: and don't use each other to get into the limelight. 436 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 2: And yeah, it's just mean. And like NICKI was young 437 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:54,399 Speaker 2: when she signed that contract. I bet I know. I 438 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:55,640 Speaker 2: bet she knows it's a shitty deal. 439 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sure regrets it. It's also hip hop, like honestly, 440 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 1: I know a lot of it is. Yeah, and as 441 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:04,920 Speaker 1: long as to me, it's like, you know, part of 442 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 1: hip hop history that you know, you're who can be 443 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 1: the most clever with their words of really like exposing 444 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:13,720 Speaker 1: the other person, but like only on words like like 445 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,359 Speaker 1: the jay Z NOAs honestly, like you know, jay Z 446 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 1: went on to continued success and did as did NOAs 447 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,159 Speaker 1: and we have an epic like rap battle that we 448 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,120 Speaker 1: look back on and they're cool now. So I don't 449 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:26,880 Speaker 1: mind hip hop beef because it's part of hip hop. 450 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:28,919 Speaker 1: So I don't mind you know that. I guess I 451 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,159 Speaker 1: was just like, wow, it's just interesting because one of 452 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 1: my cousins works in the music industry. He's actually like 453 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,879 Speaker 1: the the A and R Global an R for one 454 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,440 Speaker 1: of these major labels. He's really young too, but he's 455 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,120 Speaker 1: worked for almost all of the labels you can think 456 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,879 Speaker 1: of what all the labels that cater to hip hop, 457 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: and he's actually signed Katy Perry. His name is Chris 458 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 1: Annakute and he used to tell me all the time 459 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 1: that he once came to speak at a at a 460 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 1: boys and girls club and they were asking him he's 461 00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 1: he was one of the people that helped to break Riyana. 462 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,399 Speaker 1: Upon the replay, he signed the guy that wrote that 463 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,479 Speaker 1: song for Rihanna, And so he would say all the 464 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 1: time that you know, oftentimes the musicians on the road 465 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 1: are making more than the artists. So he was like, like, 466 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 1: for example, if you're on the road and you have 467 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 1: like say like a piano player, they are guaranteed a 468 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 1: salary of like, okay, they're making sixty eighty thousand dollars 469 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 1: a year. The musician is not because their money comes 470 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,159 Speaker 1: after everyone else is paid. And I just thought that 471 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 1: was so fascinating back then. And he was like, you know, 472 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:33,119 Speaker 1: if you're in the music industry to grow wealth, that 473 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,160 Speaker 1: being in front of the camera is not the place 474 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 1: to do it. So that was kind of like his 475 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 1: role to kind of teach the kids of all the 476 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 1: ways you could be part of the music industry that 477 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,679 Speaker 1: actually makes money without having to pick up a microphone, 478 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 1: because these other ways make way more And I thought, wow, 479 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 1: he was kind of listing artists that well, I won't 480 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 1: list them, but like artists back then that he was 481 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,119 Speaker 1: like nope, no money, no money. Oh yeah, money, no money, 482 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 1: no money. And I was like wow, So sometimes people look. 483 00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 2: At it, that's right if everyone lost their mind when 484 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,640 Speaker 2: Chance the Rapper won Grammy. Yeah, that's a self made 485 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 2: I mean he doesn't have a label. I mean he 486 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,159 Speaker 2: was like he thinks SoundCloud in his speech, you know 487 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 2: what I mean? 488 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 1: Like yes, which is dope though, because what he's doing, 489 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 1: single handedly, honestly is changing the industry, because the fact is, 490 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 1: you know, the music industry is really leans upon taking 491 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 1: advantage of art and people's. People's one their eagerness to 492 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: want to get their music and their their talent out there, 493 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,359 Speaker 1: and two their their lack of knowledge of how things 494 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 1: actually work, and chances like no, you will not take 495 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 1: advantage of me. No, you will not own my voice. 496 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 1: I remember there was a there was a case where 497 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,400 Speaker 1: I forget who it was. It was a singer who 498 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 1: had finally left the record label and they owned that 499 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,199 Speaker 1: singer's I guess material, and he went on to do 500 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:50,639 Speaker 1: another album and they sued him for a copyright infringement 501 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,120 Speaker 1: and they went to course for it. They're like, yeah, 502 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,119 Speaker 1: your album sounds like this other album. He's like it's me, 503 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 1: what do you mean? So basically they're like, you can't 504 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 1: sound like yourself on your new album not that Wow, 505 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,399 Speaker 1: how terrible. So it's just a lesson to anyone starting 506 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 1: a business, anyone. 507 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 2: Especially the artists, Like there's yeah, I think more vulnerable 508 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 2: like group of professionals than working artists who are just 509 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 2: struggling to get by. 510 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 1: Exactly that you have to own and keep ownership of 511 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,919 Speaker 1: your things because if not at least majority ownership. If not, 512 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 1: then you put yourself in a position to you know, 513 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 1: literally see your product grow and make money and not 514 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:27,880 Speaker 1: be able to benefit from that. 515 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's one of the reasons why I didn't launch 516 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 2: the Brown Ambition, why I decided to do this on 517 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,639 Speaker 2: my own with us, you know, as an independent venture, 518 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 2: because I could have launched it with Yahoo and was 519 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:40,639 Speaker 2: you know, I was with Yahoo at the time. But 520 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,120 Speaker 2: the idea of like, you know, you know how things 521 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 2: work when you're attached to a huge company like that, 522 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:50,919 Speaker 2: and it's you become sort of like another another project 523 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:52,679 Speaker 2: and you have to meet metrics and you have to 524 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 2: sort of like fight for your fight, you know, get 525 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 2: input from outside voices and like it sort of Yeah, 526 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 2: becomes less about you, and and I was like, I 527 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 2: want to something that can stand on its own two 528 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:04,880 Speaker 2: feet and that if I leave, it's not like it's 529 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 2: tied to this. It's sort of like like like diversifying. 530 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 2: And you do the same thing with you you write 531 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 2: your ebooks and you don't go through a publisher, and 532 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,439 Speaker 2: then you get what like seventy percent of the profits 533 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 2: versus like eleven percent if you were to use. 534 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,400 Speaker 1: If I'm lucky, I know somebody who was like literally 535 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 1: like like our very finance mother. She shared that like honestly, 536 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,160 Speaker 1: she's like, uh, like her money, like when it comes 537 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 1: to book sales mostly comes from her independent books. That 538 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 1: she has books that New York Times bestsellers, and she 539 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 1: has books that have been published traditionally. But she was 540 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 1: like those books helped to fuel the sales of the 541 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 1: books that actually make her money. And I've had a 542 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 1: book agent come up to me just last year, you know, 543 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,959 Speaker 1: after selling like so many of like because by then 544 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 1: I had three best selling books on Amazon, and agent 545 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: approached me. It was like, you know, we really like 546 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 1: to talk to you about maybe traditional publishing. And I 547 00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 1: said okay. So we had a meeting and when we 548 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 1: broke down the numbers and I was telling her, you know, 549 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:04,920 Speaker 1: like how much I was making in my audience size, 550 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:10,159 Speaker 1: and she kind of was like, so, I'm gonna be honest, 551 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,199 Speaker 1: there's no reason for you to sign with me. And 552 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,679 Speaker 1: I was like really, She was like yeah. She was like, 553 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:17,879 Speaker 1: I mean, we're not going to get seventy percent. She 554 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,239 Speaker 1: was like, you know, typically I could tell you, oh, 555 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 1: we could expose you to a larger audience. You've already 556 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 1: built your audience. She said. The only thing I could 557 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 1: say is that if you sign with a larger publisher, 558 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 1: you know, oftentimes we're able to get you on more 559 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 1: national television more regularly. Because we pitched in a group, 560 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,640 Speaker 1: so you know, a larger publisher has like really great 561 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 1: contacts at Good Morning America or Today's show and says, hey, 562 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:41,920 Speaker 1: we've got like five different authors with books. I'll pick 563 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,479 Speaker 1: one that you want to have on. But she was like, 564 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,639 Speaker 1: even that, it looks like your publicist is doing a 565 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 1: pretty good job. So she was like, I'm not gonna lie, 566 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,880 Speaker 1: like that's what we're We're here for one larger audience 567 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 1: and two media. She was like, but you have those things, 568 00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,360 Speaker 1: so I'm not saying you shouldn't sign, but I don't 569 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 1: know that we're going to better for you than you're 570 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 1: doing it for yourself. So that was a really powerful 571 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,679 Speaker 1: affirmation and like, Okay, you can do it yourself. Is 572 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:09,359 Speaker 1: it longer, Yeah, but to me it's worth it because 573 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,880 Speaker 1: when that book money comes in. I know people who 574 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 1: when they go in an event, they can't even sell 575 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 1: their own book. It's not theirs. Like if you go 576 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 1: to an event and you're speaking in the front of 577 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 1: the room as a keynote speaker and you're like, ooh, 578 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,119 Speaker 1: let me sell some books in the back, they have 579 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 1: to call the publisher. The publisher brings the books someone 580 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 1: to sell it and takes the money and the books 581 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 1: back with them, and you're like, okay, I guess i'll 582 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,160 Speaker 1: see my my eleven percent later on in my check 583 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 1: this week, not me as soon as you give me cash. 584 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 1: That is all mine, minus like one the cost of. 585 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 2: The books byob be your own boss. 586 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 1: Yes, lord, all right? 587 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 2: Moving along? 588 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 1: Yes, well real quick like.

I think I talked about the 679 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:08,120 Speaker 2: Level Money app. I forget what I boosted before, but 680 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 2: I'm gonna boost Google Drive today. I know, people, you 681 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 2: may think you know what Google Drive is all about. 682 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 2: But Google Drive is literally the only thing that keeps 683 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:21,160 Speaker 2: me sane, and it's the only thing that I use. 684 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,720 Speaker 2: And I have trained everyone at Magnified Money on Google Drive, 685 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:28,080 Speaker 2: you know, sometimes kicking and screaming. But if you don't 686 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,520 Speaker 2: use Google Drive, and you like, you use different documents 687 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 2: and you're constantly switching from like well, especially if you're 688 00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,360 Speaker 2: editing or you're changing a document, or you're collaborating on 689 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:41,240 Speaker 2: projects together and your workplace, Google Drive is where it's at. 690 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 2: It is like the one thing Google, not the one thing. 691 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,280 Speaker 2: But you know, Googles came out with some duds, right yeah, 692 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:51,000 Speaker 2: buzz Google. I forget what the other things were, the 693 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:55,600 Speaker 2: bad chat thing like the Google Hangouts or like Google Plus, 694 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 2: like all that crap. They should have just stopped the 695 00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:01,000 Speaker 2: drive because it's perfect and it's amazing, and it's everything 696 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 2: in the cloud, and it's where I keep you know, 697 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 2: maybe I won't say it's where I keep all my passwords. Yeah, 698 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 2: it's probably about idea. Anyway, Google drives awesome, and it 699 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 2: replaced it's free if you have Gmail, and it replaces 700 00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:19,440 Speaker 2: for me, it replaces word. It replaces Excel, it replaces 701 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,200 Speaker 2: power Point, It replaces all that crap that you pay 702 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 2: for like in Microsoft Suite, which is why I've always 703 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:27,360 Speaker 2: loved it. I never had to pay for any of 704 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,640 Speaker 2: that stuff anymore. And it's in the cloud, so everything 705 00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,640 Speaker 2: that I do, my collaborators can see and it's easy 706 00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 2: to share. And this is not a paid endorsement. I promise. 707 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:43,680 Speaker 1: I will do something similar. I'm going to boost and 708 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,920 Speaker 1: I am going to boost Slack. I don't know if 709 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:48,080 Speaker 1: you've ever heard of slack before. 710 00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,240 Speaker 2: I think you've used this as a boost before. 711 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:55,280 Speaker 1: Have Well, then okay, I'll do something else at Slack. 712 00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:59,000 Speaker 1: I am going to boost ooh, I'm going to boost 713 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:03,360 Speaker 1: first class. So for the first time ever, just this 714 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,000 Speaker 1: past week, I actually paid for my very first first 715 00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:09,239 Speaker 1: class ticket and I was debating over it over and 716 00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:12,560 Speaker 1: over and over again. I guess maybe more so boost upgrades. 717 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,279 Speaker 1: And so because I was flying out of Boston and 718 00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:18,120 Speaker 1: going to Orlando, and I said, oh, I really don't 719 00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:22,239 Speaker 1: want to sit and coach it's tight. Not for this 720 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:27,600 Speaker 1: long flight. No, not over three hours. I'm just like ugh. So, 721 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,279 Speaker 1: I mean, I've thrown first class before, but usually it's 722 00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:31,960 Speaker 1: because like maybe a company has paid for it or 723 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:33,799 Speaker 1: I got like a great boost or whatever, but I 724 00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,840 Speaker 1: never paid for it. And so I was looking at prices, 725 00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:40,560 Speaker 1: and the price of the ticket for Boston to Orlando 726 00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 1: was like like three something like the high three hundreds 727 00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,320 Speaker 1: if I just flew like in the afternoon or whatever. 728 00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 1: But if I flew earlier in the morning, it was 729 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:56,280 Speaker 1: four hundred and if I wanted to fly first class. 730 00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:58,560 Speaker 1: So I was like, ooh, for an extra like thirty 731 00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,400 Speaker 1: dollars more in flying earlier, I can fly first class 732 00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,360 Speaker 1: in the morning. So that's what I chose. And that's why 733 00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:05,839 Speaker 1: I kind of reason because normally first class tickets are 734 00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,840 Speaker 1: like the difference is too great to make, you know, 735 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:10,440 Speaker 1: it's just too much more money. But I was like, 736 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:12,680 Speaker 1: thirty bucks, wake up a little earlier, I'll do it. 737 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 1: Oh OK. So I did, yes, And you know what 738 00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:16,839 Speaker 1: it taught me, because I mean sometimes I'm like cheap 739 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:20,399 Speaker 1: to a default, because my default reaction when it's time 740 00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,640 Speaker 1: to spend money on like things like that, it's like no, no. 741 00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:27,160 Speaker 1: And so I was like, well, look at the number, Tiffany, 742 00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:30,520 Speaker 1: thirty dollars, it's worth it totally. And even flying home, 743 00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:33,960 Speaker 1: they were only middle seats available, and I said, what 744 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:38,000 Speaker 1: I won't do is middle c I can't. And so 745 00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:41,000 Speaker 1: it was like you could play for priority seating, which 746 00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:42,839 Speaker 1: was like a little bit more seating for twenty two 747 00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:44,759 Speaker 1: dollars the upgrade, and I paid it. 748 00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,319 Speaker 2: Oh goodness, they're calling me. 749 00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,040 Speaker 1: Hold on, they're calling you, like, can we stop telling 750 00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,560 Speaker 1: me secrets? And so I paid for the twenty two dollars. 751 00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:54,960 Speaker 1: And so I told myself, you know who taught me 752 00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,560 Speaker 1: that patreats patreats Washington. We all, me and Manny both 753 00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:04,320 Speaker 1: love her. We've had her on the show, Miss Money, Uh, Maven? Right, yes, 754 00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:08,600 Speaker 1: And so Patrese told me once I believe so Miss 755 00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:12,120 Speaker 1: Money Maven she told me once she said, you know 756 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:14,840 Speaker 1: that she likes to obviously fly first class? Who doesn't 757 00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:18,640 Speaker 1: if you can? And she said, sometimes if a client 758 00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,839 Speaker 1: flies her out, you know typically they they pay for 759 00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:25,520 Speaker 1: your flight, that she will pay the additional difference, like 760 00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:27,239 Speaker 1: which is maybe like one hundred bucks fifty to one 761 00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,240 Speaker 1: hundred bucks for first class, because it's not the whole ticket. 762 00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:33,000 Speaker 1: That for her, it's like, look, I'm paying fifty bucks 763 00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,840 Speaker 1: so I can fly super comfortably. And I thought, you 764 00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,279 Speaker 1: know what, so that kind of like opened my mind 765 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,920 Speaker 1: up to like Tiffany, you know, isn't like twenty or 766 00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,680 Speaker 1: fifty bucks worth it if you can afford it. Plus 767 00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:45,479 Speaker 1: you can write it off because this is a business trip. 768 00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:47,839 Speaker 1: And so just opening my mind up to upgrade. So 769 00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,080 Speaker 1: that's my brown boost is that, like you know that 770 00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:53,879 Speaker 1: if you can afford it. And I'm you know, I save, 771 00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:56,120 Speaker 1: I pay our bills on time, I have retirement, I 772 00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:57,960 Speaker 1: do all that stuff, and sometimes I still forget to 773 00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,000 Speaker 1: treat myself. And so expect see me in more first 774 00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:02,960 Speaker 1: class seats as long as it makes financial sense. 775 00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:04,799 Speaker 2: I will see you in wave as I walk on 776 00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:05,439 Speaker 2: by the coach. 777 00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:07,880 Speaker 1: Plus it was nice being like, you know, I was 778 00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:09,880 Speaker 1: like literally like the only brown girl in there, and 779 00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:11,520 Speaker 1: this lady was in my seat and I'm not gonna lie. 780 00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:13,680 Speaker 1: She was a little bit rude because when I was 781 00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:15,040 Speaker 1: walking up, she looked at me like, I know she's 782 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:16,960 Speaker 1: not sitting here.

We've been getting 831 00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:29,600 Speaker 2: a lot of great questions. So let's see how many 832 00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:33,080 Speaker 2: we can do today? Maybe one or two. So question 833 00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:36,400 Speaker 2: number one is from Miss Rhonda, and she says, I 834 00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:40,120 Speaker 2: am I don't know what this stands for, but sahm student. 835 00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:46,360 Speaker 1: I'm a am. 836 00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:47,120 Speaker 2: Passing over that I'm a part time student, part time 837 00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:50,400 Speaker 2: college student. She says, my husband's My husband makes a 838 00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:53,520 Speaker 2: decent salary, but we're eighty nine thousand dollars in the 839 00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:56,520 Speaker 2: hole due to credit cards, student loans, and medical bills. 840 00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:59,480 Speaker 2: We have four children. Our oldest is a junior in 841 00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:01,759 Speaker 2: high school. Our youngest is three years old. I have 842 00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:03,720 Speaker 2: a plan to get us out of debt, but every 843 00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,920 Speaker 2: time my husband sabotages us. His latest is that we 844 00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,000 Speaker 2: need a bigger house and we can rent out the 845 00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:12,280 Speaker 2: one we live in currently, which admittedly is too small, 846 00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:13,840 Speaker 2: as a way to help pay for us soon to 847 00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:17,600 Speaker 2: be college student. I agree, we do, However, we do 848 00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:19,600 Speaker 2: not have the down payment, and we have this debt. 849 00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,040 Speaker 2: He gets his yearly bonus next week and wants to 850 00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:24,200 Speaker 2: save it to buy the other house. I want to 851 00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:27,160 Speaker 2: use it to pay down debt. I've insisted on us slowly. 852 00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:29,719 Speaker 2: I've insisted on us living solely on cash, and I 853 00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:31,640 Speaker 2: plan to get a job once the kids are out 854 00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,240 Speaker 2: of school this summer. I want to use my earnings 855 00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:36,919 Speaker 2: for debt repayment in my retirement. He just complains about 856 00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,279 Speaker 2: the budget and says that debt is normal. I don't 857 00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:41,840 Speaker 2: believe that. Am I doing the wrong thing? Please help? 858 00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:47,879 Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, when your significant others not on the same 859 00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:48,919 Speaker 1: financial page as. 860 00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,600 Speaker 2: You, not just that they're not on the same page 861 00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:55,720 Speaker 2: with you, but they're determined to normalize your terrible financial 862 00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:59,279 Speaker 2: situation and dig you even deeper into debt. Yikes. 863 00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:03,080 Speaker 1: So what I try to do with Superman is I 864 00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:06,799 Speaker 1: try to find a common denominator, meaning something that we 865 00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:10,720 Speaker 1: both can like agree upon, even if it seems random. 866 00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:13,040 Speaker 1: Like what I found as a common denominator in the 867 00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:17,120 Speaker 1: very very beginning was his daughter, So like Supergirls, like 868 00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:18,920 Speaker 1: the love of his life. You know, that's his daughter. 869 00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:21,120 Speaker 1: And so in the beginning when I was trying to 870 00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:23,040 Speaker 1: like get us both on the same financial page, he 871 00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,879 Speaker 1: was resistant and like similar to that, like, oh it's 872 00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:28,480 Speaker 1: not a big deal. Everybody's out adista. Who cares if 873 00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:33,200 Speaker 1: my car notice the same amount as somebody's mortgage. Nobody cares. 874 00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:34,960 Speaker 1: I've got the car, won. I was like, oh my god, 875 00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,680 Speaker 1: I'm dying on the inside. So then after like trying 876 00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:40,239 Speaker 1: different things, I recognized, oh, he loves his daughter so much. 877 00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:42,560 Speaker 1: Let me use that as an angle, and so I 878 00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:45,839 Speaker 1: used it as are you saving for her future? And 879 00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:47,600 Speaker 1: at first he was like, no, you know, she's smart, 880 00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:50,239 Speaker 1: she'll get a scholarship. And I'm like, well, you know 881 00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:54,480 Speaker 1: this is probably true, but let's also have like a 882 00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:57,239 Speaker 1: plan in conjunction to that. So it started off with 883 00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:00,600 Speaker 1: him just going to his job and saying, hey, instead 884 00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:02,920 Speaker 1: of giving me all my money in my checking account, 885 00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:05,319 Speaker 1: divert some of that to the savings. And I said, well, 886 00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:09,040 Speaker 1: while you're there. Another common denominator was we wanted to 887 00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:11,920 Speaker 1: go on vacation. I said, while you're there, divert some 888 00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:15,560 Speaker 1: to a savings account for yourself, a joint savings account 889 00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:18,560 Speaker 1: for vacations for us and your daughter saving. So that 890 00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:21,279 Speaker 1: was like the end, and then I left it, and 891 00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:23,080 Speaker 1: then he lived his life. He did well. He still 892 00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:25,759 Speaker 1: had his car, you know, but now he's saving three 893 00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:28,640 Speaker 1: different ways and paying his bills. And then after like 894 00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:31,160 Speaker 1: six months of kind of him in that space, I 895 00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:33,600 Speaker 1: broached another stop, you see what I mean? So it 896 00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:36,480 Speaker 1: was like, you know, vacation might not seem like a 897 00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:39,480 Speaker 1: fun thing or might not seem as responsible as like, 898 00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:41,600 Speaker 1: you know, saving the payoff debt, but that might be 899 00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:45,320 Speaker 1: a common denominator, like let's do this for quote unquote vacation, 900 00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:48,160 Speaker 1: and that vacation account than when we originally started like 901 00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:53,279 Speaker 1: three years ago, has morphed into our house account, and 902 00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:55,520 Speaker 1: this is why now he's able to buy a house. 903 00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:58,000 Speaker 1: And you know, I've helped him get his credit score together, 904 00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:00,239 Speaker 1: so you know, we started off in one place. But 905 00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:01,799 Speaker 1: I knew in my mind, I'm not gonna lie that 906 00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:03,520 Speaker 1: vacation a cat was always a house account, he just 907 00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:04,120 Speaker 1: didn't know it. 908 00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:09,239 Speaker 2: For Rhonda, I feel like the common denominator has to 909 00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:10,680 Speaker 2: be the fact that he wants to buy a house, 910 00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:12,120 Speaker 2: But how is he going to get a house, like 911 00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:14,720 Speaker 2: get qualified for a mortgage. They have nearly ninety thousand 912 00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:16,680 Speaker 2: dollars in credit card and a student loan debt, Like 913 00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:20,120 Speaker 2: I feel like to get to his goal, she could say, 914 00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:21,799 Speaker 2: you know, in order for us to be in the 915 00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:24,799 Speaker 2: best position to qualify for a loan for a bigger house, 916 00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:26,840 Speaker 2: which I'm guessing is probably going to cost more money, 917 00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:29,040 Speaker 2: you know, we should be working on paying down our 918 00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:31,239 Speaker 2: debt because like, isn't that one of the biggest that's 919 00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:33,880 Speaker 2: the biggest thing that a mortgage a loan officer is 920 00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:34,520 Speaker 2: going to look at. 921 00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:37,319 Speaker 1: So maybe what she could do is have about if 922 00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:39,560 Speaker 1: you guys, go shop for a mortgage. Don't let them 923 00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:41,480 Speaker 1: pull your credit like we said last week, but go 924 00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:43,880 Speaker 1: shop for a mortgage. And sometimes it's hard for people 925 00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,120 Speaker 1: to listen to you when they know you. So let 926 00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:48,800 Speaker 1: the mortgage person say there's no way you have too much. 927 00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:51,640 Speaker 2: Debt that might want income, Well, then. 928 00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:53,600 Speaker 1: That's going to be perfect. Let that mortgage person be 929 00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:56,520 Speaker 1: like to burst his bubble a little, like, this is 930 00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:58,480 Speaker 1: what you're going to need to be able to qualify. 931 00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:00,960 Speaker 1: Having someone else say it's to be really powerful. I 932 00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,680 Speaker 1: think that helps a lot too, So that's what I 933 00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:05,840 Speaker 1: would do. I would be like, you know what, let's 934 00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:07,719 Speaker 1: you know, let's call mortgage shopping and just see what 935 00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:10,880 Speaker 1: people say about our current financials. And then let that 936 00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:14,040 Speaker 1: person say, honestly, with where you are now, you'll only 937 00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:16,000 Speaker 1: be able to afford this much house. But if you 938 00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:18,919 Speaker 1: did X y Z, pay down deb get your credit 939 00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:20,560 Speaker 1: to where it's supposed to be, you'd be able to 940 00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:23,360 Speaker 1: afford more house. So maybe let someone else, say it 941 00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:26,520 Speaker 1: a professional financial person, someone that he's gonna want to 942 00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:28,399 Speaker 1: hear from. Because it's a mortgage person. The mortgage person 943 00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:30,600 Speaker 1: will tell you flat out. So I think that's probably 944 00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:33,640 Speaker 1: the best, the best bet, that your common denominator is 945 00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:36,040 Speaker 1: your mortgage and let the mortgage person be the bearer 946 00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:36,720 Speaker 1: of bad news. 947 00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:39,520 Speaker 2: That's exactly what I did earlier this summer when we 948 00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:42,200 Speaker 2: were me and my fiance were arguing over whether or 949 00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:44,719 Speaker 2: not we should buy right now or keep renting. I 950 00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:47,520 Speaker 2: remember I was like, okay, it was it was it 951 00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:50,880 Speaker 2: was taking up our it was like really a problem. 952 00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:52,719 Speaker 2: We were constantly arguing about it, and I was like, 953 00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:55,399 Speaker 2: let's hire. I was like, okay, I'm going to hire 954 00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:57,200 Speaker 2: a financial planner and we're going to have a conversation 955 00:44:57,239 --> 00:44:58,480 Speaker 2: with her. We're going to show her all of our 956 00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:02,200 Speaker 2: numbers and have let's get her opinion. And we did 957 00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:06,160 Speaker 2: just that, and not to brag, but she gave us 958 00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:08,880 Speaker 2: three different scenarios and she was like, here's what your 959 00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:10,919 Speaker 2: money would look like if you bought a house, Here's 960 00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:12,759 Speaker 2: what it would look like if you continue to rent, 961 00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:14,239 Speaker 2: and here's what it would look like if you bought 962 00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:17,880 Speaker 2: an investment property and had some rental income and the 963 00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:20,080 Speaker 2: worst scenario for our money was to buy a house. 964 00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:22,320 Speaker 2: And that was sort of like, yeah, that was like 965 00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:24,200 Speaker 2: a wake up call for him, and it wasn't like 966 00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:27,000 Speaker 2: me and my nagginess like you know, telling and we 967 00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:28,600 Speaker 2: can't afford it. We can't afford it or it's not 968 00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:32,040 Speaker 2: good for us, you know. And that at least saved me, 969 00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:34,480 Speaker 2: It bought me some time. I'm not gonna lie and 970 00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:37,480 Speaker 2: say that it's like completely stop being a point of 971 00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:40,960 Speaker 2: contention his desire to buy a house and my desire 972 00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:44,759 Speaker 2: to not. But it definitely helped having a professional And 973 00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:47,880 Speaker 2: now it's sort of like you can blame someone else, yes, 974 00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:52,120 Speaker 2: and you can. You can preserve your own, you know, relationship, 975 00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:53,520 Speaker 2: but then have someone else be the bad guy. 976 00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:56,799 Speaker 1: Yep, agreed, Yep. Okay. 977 00:45:56,840 --> 00:46:00,319 Speaker 2: So next question comes from Christa. She says, question for you. 978 00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:04,040 Speaker 2: I've been considering transferring my money from Wells Fargo to 979 00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:08,000 Speaker 2: another bank. I wonder why going to check out the 980 00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,440 Speaker 2: resources of Magnify Money to choose the best one for me? 981 00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:14,680 Speaker 2: Good job, christ Yeah, My concern is that I've been 982 00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:17,920 Speaker 2: with Wells Fargo for eighteen years. I'm under the assumption 983 00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:21,200 Speaker 2: that staying with one bank over time would have benefits financially. 984 00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:24,399 Speaker 2: Are there any consequences for switching and does it really 985 00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:26,440 Speaker 2: matter how long you've been with one bank? 986 00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:31,399 Speaker 1: Thanks Krista, No, not in this modern age. I think 987 00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:33,680 Speaker 1: what she's thinking of, right, because like I'll say this, 988 00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:36,640 Speaker 1: if you're with a credit union, like the only time 989 00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:39,759 Speaker 1: that to me it makes like a big It makes 990 00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:44,240 Speaker 1: a difference is certain banks, like for example, a credit union, 991 00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:46,239 Speaker 1: they might say you have to bank with us for 992 00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:48,440 Speaker 1: like six months, three months, a year before you can 993 00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:51,239 Speaker 1: get along that kind of thing. But typically it's under 994 00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:55,000 Speaker 1: a year. So anything past that you're fine. Or sometimes 995 00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:57,239 Speaker 1: being with the bank is because you've built relationships with 996 00:46:57,280 --> 00:46:59,320 Speaker 1: the people at that bank, meaning like you in the 997 00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:03,200 Speaker 1: bank branch man are super cute, super closed, and like 998 00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:05,200 Speaker 1: when you're like looking for a loan, they look at 999 00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:06,879 Speaker 1: you more as a person than a number because you're 1000 00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:09,799 Speaker 1: you've been really cool with that bank. But no, like 1001 00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:11,919 Speaker 1: those days are done. People don't really are not don't 1002 00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:13,480 Speaker 1: really get to know the people at the bank like that. 1003 00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:16,200 Speaker 1: And yeah, so if you want to go, girl, go 1004 00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:17,280 Speaker 1: and it's. 1005 00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:19,799 Speaker 2: Never I mean it's people. It's crazy how long people 1006 00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:21,400 Speaker 2: will stick with their bank even if their bank is 1007 00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:24,080 Speaker 2: treated them badly. I mean, look at Wells Fargo. Wells 1008 00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:30,080 Speaker 2: Fargo just got taken down in this history making legal 1009 00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:32,680 Speaker 2: action taken by the CFPV earlier this year because it 1010 00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:36,080 Speaker 2: was they found out that thousands of their salespeople were 1011 00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:39,319 Speaker 2: sneaking behind their customers back and signed them up for 1012 00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:42,680 Speaker 2: credit card products and savings products and loan products that 1013 00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:46,200 Speaker 2: they didn't really need just to get the commission. Yeah, 1014 00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:48,600 Speaker 2: and they're they're facing like a multi billion dollar fine 1015 00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:50,040 Speaker 2: for that, and they had to do just they just 1016 00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:53,719 Speaker 2: like let go half their executive team because of that, soul. 1017 00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:55,960 Speaker 2: I don't blame you for wanting to leave Wells Fargo, 1018 00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:58,759 Speaker 2: And honestly, there's so many banks out there that don't. 1019 00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:01,600 Speaker 2: I mean, Wells Fargo has high fees, They require a 1020 00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:05,399 Speaker 2: minimum balance for some of their checking accounts. I mean, 1021 00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:08,200 Speaker 2: like a lot of big banks, they have so much 1022 00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:11,560 Speaker 2: high overhead costs that they pass those costs in now 1023 00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:13,719 Speaker 2: to you to you in the form of fees. So 1024 00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:15,680 Speaker 2: if you can find a better deal, I feel like 1025 00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:18,640 Speaker 2: you shouldn't have. You shouldn't feel loyalty to a big bank. 1026 00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:20,840 Speaker 2: I agree, Like, if it's your court, if you're like 1027 00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:25,520 Speaker 2: your community bank or your credit maybe, although like contrary 1028 00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:27,360 Speaker 2: to what people think, We've taken a look at credit 1029 00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:29,759 Speaker 2: card credit union fees and they're not always that much 1030 00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:32,880 Speaker 2: better than big banks. Even so, at the end of 1031 00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:34,759 Speaker 2: the day, you just don't have don't feel a sense 1032 00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:35,920 Speaker 2: of loyalty. 1033 00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:39,360 Speaker 1: Towards anybody but your money anybody. 1034 00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:41,799 Speaker 2: And if you you know, it's it's not that hard 1035 00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:45,759 Speaker 2: to ditch your bank.
