7
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 1: that we've never done on this show before. Okay, trying

8
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: to make financial literacy funny. I don't know what financial literacy. Yeah,

9
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 1: I'll be honest. When I was in the middle of

10
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: doing this call, I was thinking, this is going exactly

11
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:41,520
Speaker 1: how I thought it would, kind of boring. Oh whoa,

12
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 1: that's what a tease can't wait to do. So I

13
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: said something I probably shouldn't have, and it changed the

14
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: course of the conversation. I'm a little embarrassed about it now,

15
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: but you'll hear what I said in your brand new

16
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: phone tap right now. It's another taps on the twenties.

17
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: Tell me I'm five. Hello, Hi, my name's Riley. Are

18
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: you Lucas? This is him? How can I help you? Hey, Lucas.

19
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,479
Speaker 1: I work over in corporate HR and I was hoping

20
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: to chat with you about something for a second. Yeah, sure,

21
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: of course, what's up? As you know, the company sent

22
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 1: out an email recently regarding financial literacy. You might remember

23
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: it asked a bunch of questions about four oh one

24
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: k's and hsas and stuff like that. Yeah, I remember. Great.

25
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 1: So it turns out you actually did very well on it.

26
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 1: You really know your stuff, really, Yeah you did. I

27
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: mean I'm looking over it right now. It turns out

28
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: you're investing in your four oh one K, you picked

29
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: a modest medical plan, so you're a really good role

30
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 1: model for some of our other employees. I don't know

31
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: who to say. I mean, I try to be pretty

32
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: good at it, and you know the company matches, so

33
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: it's good stuff. Well, your instincts are right on, and

34
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: that's why management wanted to know if you might consider

35
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: being a part of a mentorship program that we're going

36
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: to be starting up here. You're sure that they want me.

37
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I know some things, but not enough to

38
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: actually tell other people about it. I think you'd actually

39
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: be perfect. And the idea is you're going to be

40
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: paired up with another employee that maybe isn't as good

41
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: with their money as you are. I just don't want

42
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 1: them to be like a conflict of interest or or

43
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: someone like if you know, if it's a if it's

44
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: my team leader, I feel like that might be I

45
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 1: don't know, maybe maybe a little strange. But I mean,

46
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: if it's coming from corporate, then excuse my French, but

47
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: is your whole tight? Lucas, I'm sorry, did you just

48
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: say is my whole tight? Because it's a really simple thing.

49
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not asking you to do rocket science here.

50
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: It's more like checking to see if they're spending all

51
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: their money on lobster dinners every night when they should

52
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: be buying McDonald's. But you know they're going to listen

53
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 1: to you because you're a peer instead of us up

54
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,679
Speaker 1: at corporate. Sure, I mean, all right, so you're on board, then,

55
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: I guess so that's the team spirit then I'm looking for.

56
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: So here's how it's going to work. To help your

57
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: co workers. We're going to be supplementing them with some

58
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 1: of your pretax income. All right, so you're giving them

59
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: my money. I mean, yeah, but don't worry, it's not

60
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: going to be a lot. Probably no more than fifteen

61
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: percent of your paycheck. That's the max. No, I wasn't

62
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: aware that this was going to be a financial implication

63
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 1: for myself. Yeah, all right, So it sounds like I

64
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: was right earlier. Your pole is tight. Okay, sir, Yes,

65
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: I guess my hole is tight. If that's what you

66
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,679
Speaker 1: wanted to say, We're not going to spend this whole

67
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 1: conversation talking about the tightness of your poll. Okay, let's

68
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: get back to what we were discussing earlier, the thing

69
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: you already agreed to, and that's helping out. Yeah, but

70
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: you're saying that you're taking my money. That sounds crazy.

71
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna just listen. In order for the mentors

72
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: to really care during this program, we found it to

73
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: be more effective if they use their own money because

74
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: then there's higher stakes in it. Then pay me more money. Sorry,

75
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: that's not how the program works. Unfortunately, corporate's really holding

76
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: tight onto that. Well, of course corporate wants to hold

77
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: them into their own money, but they want to spend

78
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: my money and some ridiculed program. And that is the

79
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: definition financially response. Correction, it's not your money, it's their money. Now.

80
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest, I'm not enjoying the looks and

81
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: the optics of this program, and I well, now, yeah,

82
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to say no, I need you to

83
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: unclench because you already consented, you know. Can you stop

84
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 1: with the clenching and the unclenching and the peak of

85
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: the pulls and everything just very unprofessional. I don't like it. Fine,

86
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 1: you've already said bubbles are out now clenchings off limits too.

87
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: You're a very demanding person, I have to say, and

88
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 1: I hope you bring that type of mentality with you

89
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: when we start this program on Monday. You're going to

90
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: see it reflecting in your paycheck. No, I haven't agreed

91
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 1: to this. Well, I'm not agreeing. I'm sorry to correct

92
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 1: you here, but you already did agree to it. And

93
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 1: I'm recording this phone call, so I have proof you're

94
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: recording this phone call. You're trying to set me up

95
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 1: from this, that's right, I am. Well, I didn't give

96
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: permission to that either. I didn't need permission from you.

97
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 1: I got it from your coworker Josh, because he wanted

98
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: to set you up for a prank phone call. What

99
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: this is actually a joke. My name is Jeffrey from

100
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: the radio show Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. And

101
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: we're doing a phone tap on you. Oh my god. Yeah,

102
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: your co worker job set you up. He said your

103
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: company made all the employees do some sort of financial

104
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: literacy test and that you were all worked up about it,

105
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 1: so he wanted to mess with you. It was stupid,

106
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: and I know I didn't do well on it, so

107
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: this was breaking me out. You didn't do that bad.

108
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: I mean, there's some lady over in accounting who's going

109
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: to be using your money to buy a new PS five.

110
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: I'd be proud of that. Fine, well, then she needs

111
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 1: to let me play it that all right? Wake up

112
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: every morning with phone tab weekday mornings on the twenties,

113
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 1: Holy two point five
