1
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: Hey, welcome back to the After Hours Random podcast with producer.

2
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 2: Allie and producer Greg. Welcome back.

3
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been a month. At least we got to

4
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 1: get better about doing this more than once a month.

5
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 2: I promise you we will be better about this, especially

6
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 2: going forward.

7
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:19,599
Speaker 1: For those of you who don't know, the After Hours

8
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: podcast is us basically talking about things that go on

9
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 1: behind the scenes on the Clay and Bucks Show.

10
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 2: And there are a lot of things always going on

11
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 2: behind the scenes during the show, either live, pre show,

12
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 2: post show.

13
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 1: There's always something going on. And what we wanted to

14
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: talk about today is how sometimes stories just really pick

15
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: up steam with the audience that we would not have expected.

16
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 2: Right exactly, like a couple weeks ago, what was that

17
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 2: one that just out of the blow? Oh it was

18
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 2: the Eighties Meetia.

19
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: Eighties the best eighties song of all time?

20
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 2: Right exactly, just out of the blue, just listeners just

21
00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 2: flooded us with emails and talkbacks and halls, and they

22
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 2: wanted to get their voice in about what the good thing,

23
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 2: what it was, what was their best song, their favorite song,

24
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 2: et cetera.

25
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 1: It's really interesting because for us it's almost like we

26
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: get to kind of take the temperature on what people

27
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: are thinking and feeling that day. And we can be

28
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: knee deep in a really heavy news story and they're

29
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: doing political analysis on something that we feel is super important,

30
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 1: and it is. But then the feedback we get on

31
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 1: a random short segment story, that's what we get all

32
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: the reaction.

33
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,759
Speaker 2: It's true. And one thing about that is it rankles

34
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 2: a lot of people who are meat and potatoes sort

35
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 2: of folkus.

36
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: It sticks to the issues crap.

37
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, they really want to They want to talk and

38
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 2: be talking about the things that are happening and the

39
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 2: things that are important. I think the story about the

40
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 2: coins and the last penny being minted and then Clay

41
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 2: throwing out there that maybe we ought to get rid

42
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 2: of all the coins. Yeah, I think it's one of

43
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 2: those issues that everybody can have an opinion about, Like

44
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 2: it's hard to get have an opinion about. We got

45
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 2: into some of the stuff today about each one b

46
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 2: visas and you know, they can get rather showy and

47
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 2: you may not have any experience with each one b visas.

48
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 2: Everybody's used currency and their coins.

49
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: And generational there's nostalgia, there's all kinds of other emotions

50
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: attached to it. Not just the practicality.

51
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 2: Absolutely, so there's a lot of things going on, and

52
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 2: it's things that people can relate to. And the fact

53
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 2: that it came together with such an important issue, the

54
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 2: last minting of the of the penny and what that

55
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 2: means and currency in general.

56
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: That was a fun topic. It was was a very

57
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: fun topic. But for us as the producers, we're monitoring

58
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: the phone lines, monitoring the emails, monitoring the talk backs,

59
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: and we were just inundated with everybody wanting to talk

60
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 1: about that subject.

61
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 2: And everybody had an anecdote or they talked about you know,

62
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 2: when we were kids, we used to do this and

63
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 2: I would find a nickel and I'd run down to

64
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 2: the store and I'd get whatever.

65
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: The penny candy store. Yes, I remember that from my childhood.

66
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 2: Absolutely, And so many people were like, this is how

67
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 2: I taught my kids about money and that sort of stuff.

68
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: Did you have a piggybank, Greg, of course, absolutely, did

69
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 1: you absolutely?

70
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 2: Was it an actual pig, Yes, it was, yeah, mine too.

71
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: And the tooth fairy. I would always put those quarters

72
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 1: in the piggy bank my allowance. I never got more

73
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: than a dollar, like, it was always change, and I

74
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: was taught to save it, and I was also taught

75
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: how to add subtract. I did learn right, change right.

76
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 2: So the tooth fairy gave me never more than a dollar.

77
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: Oh no, I only got a quarter for each tooth.

78
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 2: Oh okay, Well that inflation has hit quite a bit.

79
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 2: I don't know if you're aware.

80
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: Oh no, my friend's kids like, don't get twenty bucks.

81
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: I'm like, wow, I know, I know.

82
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like that started a tooth with our kid, and

83
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 2: it was like, you know, suddenly it was, you know,

84
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 2: went from a dollar to five dollars to oh my gosh,

85
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 2: some people of their classmates were getting twenty dollars.

86
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: And what we ended up doing, too was going down

87
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: a bit of a rabbit hole the other day when

88
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,839
Speaker 1: this subject came up, learning more about the history and

89
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: the impact of what this will do getting rid of

90
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: the penny. And that was fun for me because there

91
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: were things And I'm going to quiz you, Greg, go ahead, Yes,

92
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,919
Speaker 1: I did not know, so I'm going to see what

93
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 1: you know. Okay, when was the penny introduced?

94
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 2: The first penny introduced. I'm going to say right around

95
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 2: seventeen ninety thereabouts.

96
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: Oh, you're so close. Seventeen ninety three. Okay, and what

97
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: could it buy back? Then?

98
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 2: Oh gosh, the penny probably could buy you a new car.

99
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe a Tesla, right, that's a good question.

100
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 2: I don't know what could it buy?

101
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: It could buy a biscuit, a candle, or a piece

102
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: of candy.

103
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 2: Okay, penny hence penny candy?

104
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: I like that, Yes, And how much does each one

105
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: cost to make?

106
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 2: Nowadays? They're in the neighborhood of you know, a twenty

107
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 2: five cents or more per per coin to actually make?

108
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 2: Am i? Am? I CLIs?

109
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: Well? According I'm actually looking at an AP article on

110
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: this and it said each one costs nearly four cents today.

111
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 2: All right, so I'm way over estimating, but.

112
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: Still, but guess how much it's going to save us

113
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: getting the taxpayer getting rid of pennies?

114
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 2: Okay, how much will it save the taxpayers getting billions? Right?

115
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: According to treasure Brandon Beach, it's going to save us

116
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: fifty six.

117
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 2: Million, fifty six million dollars. How much is it going

118
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 2: to cost us though, at the supermarket for all of

119
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 2: these businesses which now currently sell something for nine to

120
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 2: ninety nine and they're not going to be able to

121
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 2: get those four pennies anymore.

122
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: Well, okay, so according to this billions of pennies are

123
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 1: still in circulation and will remain legal tender, but new

124
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,559
Speaker 1: ones will no longer be made. So save up your pennies.

125
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 2: So we're going to be losing them by attrition. So

126
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 2: what does it talk about the lifespan of the penny

127
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 2: and how long those the are in circulation that sort.

128
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: Of Oh, that's really interesting. No, it doesn't in this article,

129
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: but that I'd be curious to know that.

130
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 2: Okay, we may do an addendum to this podcast and

131
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 2: tell you a little bit about what we find out

132
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 2: about that particular.

133
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 1: Yes, so the last few pennies we are going to

134
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 1: be auctioned off, so that will.

135
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 2: Be Oh they are, okay, because that's what that was

136
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 2: one of the things that came up in the discussion.

137
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 2: We'll we see it in the Smithsonian. Is it going

138
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 2: to stay at the mint? Will it be framed and

139
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:32,359
Speaker 2: put on Trump's wall?

140
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 1: You know that sort of thing, yes, or found in

141
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: your couch? When did Canada stop minting its penny?

142
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 2: I honestly really don't know. I didn't even know that

143
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 2: they had stopped minting them.

144
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 1: This was something I learned too twenty twelve. Apparently really Yeah, no,

145
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: So pennies cost far less to produce than nichols. Nikels

146
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: cost nearly fourteen cents to make, Dimes, by comparison, costs

147
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 1: less than six cents to produce, and the quarter nearly

148
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 1: fifteen cents.

149
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,919
Speaker 2: So we're making money on dimes and quarters, and we

150
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 2: should actually probably keep the penny and get rid of

151
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 2: the nickel, is what you're really saying.

152
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, question for you, do you have a giant

153
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: jar of change in your home?

154
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 2: I have a jar of change. It's not a giant jar.

155
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 2: We have a jar of change and every year or

156
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 2: thereabouts we take it down to the bank and like

157
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 2: last year it was money for Christmas, that sort of thing.

158
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: So they have in your town, they have those machines

159
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: at the bank where you can put all dump all

160
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: your change in and then you get money.

161
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 2: Yes, and it's actually at our bank and they don't

162
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 2: charge you for it, so it's great. It just goes

163
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 2: straight into your account.

164
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: Oh, that's excellent. So we had that actually at a

165
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: bank in our neighborhood, and then they found out somebody

166
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: was skimming because they would take a percentage. They found

167
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: out someone was skimming, so they discontinued it, which was

168
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: such a bummer. So then we could go to our

169
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: local grocery store and do at their machines, and then

170
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: they just suddenly abruptly got rid of them. Really, so

171
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: now we have such a giant jar of change in

172
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: our apartment that even my big, hulking husband can't lift

173
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: it up. It's that heavy.

174
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 2: Really, Okay, so that's an interesting question. How much do

175
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 2: you think it weighs? And how much is it worth?

176
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: According to Gerard, he thinks there's probably like a thousand

177
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: dollars in there. That's how many Wow much change we have?

178
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 2: Wow?

179
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not sure.

180
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 2: Was that photo now you sent a little photo around

181
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 2: to the text chat that we all have. Was that

182
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 2: from that jar?

183
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 1: That's the jar?

184
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 2: I noticed some like, you know, Canada coins and maybe

185
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 2: some kind of British pens and stuff like that.

186
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: There's a lot of foreign currency in that jar mixed in.

187
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 2: I can't have that, no, no, no, no, no, yeah,

188
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 2: but I might be. I might buy it from you

189
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 2: then I could, you know, and then.

190
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: But I can't. It's so heavy. I don't even know

191
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,199
Speaker 1: how to get it to the studio m very heavy.

192
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,199
Speaker 2: Wheelbarrow at any rate.

193
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: We got so many talkbacks, emails and all that that

194
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: we played a bunch on the show, but we didn't

195
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: have time, obviously with the constraints of time the broadcast

196
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: to play all of them, but there were some fun ones,

197
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: so we decided to play them on this after hours podcast.

198
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 2: So what we're going to do before the leading me

199
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 2: into that. What happened was during a commercial break, we

200
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 2: were just discussing it, you know, the penny and all

201
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 2: of that, and they the boys, we call them the

202
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 2: boys affectionately. We're talking about it, excuse me, and then

203
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 2: Clay said something about let's just get rid of all

204
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 2: and I chimed in on the chat during the commercial.

205
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 2: I said absolutely not, no way, yeah, and Buck threw

206
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 2: me a curveball because we come back from commercial and

207
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 2: then he says, oh, you know, we're all against this

208
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 2: except for producer Greg. Again, maybe producer Greg would come

209
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 2: on and defend why he loves the penny so much.

210
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 2: Put me on the spot. So I had to come

211
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 2: running in and get on the air and explain it.

212
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 2: And we actually got a couple of talkbacks. We actually

213
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 2: got three.

214
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: Why don't we first play you trying to explain yourself

215
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: put on the spot first.

216
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,079
Speaker 2: I will happily do that for you. Let's play that

217
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 2: for you right here.

218
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 3: I just put up a poll question buck that we

219
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 3: can have some fun with this too. Today, the last

220
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 3: pennies are being produced, that is, the one cent coin

221
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 3: is basically being phased out. Trump came in and said

222
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 3: the penny doesn't make sense, it costs more than to

223
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 3: produce it. Should we eliminate all coins? Just maybe stepping

224
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 3: into this, may it like when I went after flute players.

225
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 4: I'm a hard yes on this one. Producer, Greg, I'm

226
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 4: gonna get We're gonna give you a minute. I don't

227
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 4: know if he's by the mic in NYC or if

228
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 4: he wants to just do a talkback or whatever. He

229
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 4: seems like he's not down for and I want to

230
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 4: why would anyone want there to still be pennies?

231
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 2: We need to have currency for every person because you

232
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:03,079
Speaker 2: eliminate the penny, manet the nickel. That's it's the first

233
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 2: step on the slippery slip to getting rid of all currency,

234
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 2: and then everything can be tracked by the government all

235
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 2: the time.

236
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 4: Okay, Well, I'm with I'm with you on the digital

237
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 4: dollar thing, Producer Greg, so that you're i'm with you

238
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 4: on that, But pennies.

239
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 2: When was the last time you used a penny? You'd

240
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 2: be surprised how much.

241
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 3: Jangling coins does producer Greg have in his pocket right now,

242
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 3: just jangling around, weighing down his pants, dragging him down.

243
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 3: I'm I'm with you, Buck, I think we should eliminate

244
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 3: all coins. I don't think there should be coin currency anymore.

245
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 4: That may it's gonna be a scorching hot take that

246
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 4: we didn't expect to be scorching.

247
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 3: Maybe we may get fired up and get attacked on

248
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 3: this one, but we're right.

249
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: Oh Greg, don't you just love it when they pull

250
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: you on the mic.

251
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 2: I'm trying to get the words out of my mouth

252
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 2: and they're not coming, and it makes no sense, and

253
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 2: it's it's I and I'm thinking about it. My brain

254
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 2: is going talk you idiot, and I'm trying to Finally

255
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 2: was able to get it all out, and fortunately Buck

256
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 2: agreed with me on the at least on the digital

257
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 2: dollar aspect of it.

258
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: Right. I don't think they should get rid of all change,

259
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: but I could do without the penny and the nickel.

260
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 2: Okay, I can understand that. I think, look, I just

261
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 2: think the minute you start, you know, if you take one,

262
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 2: then the logic is, well, let's just do the next one.

263
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 2: So why you know, we already did this one, why

264
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 2: don't we do the next one? And I don't. I

265
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 2: don't like that. I like the fact that we have

266
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 2: a dollar coin. I want to have more dollar coins

267
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 2: in circulation. In fact, Canada has two dollars coins that

268
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 2: they have and they have two euro coins in Europe

269
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 2: as well, and I like the two euro coin or

270
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 2: the two dollars Canadian coin. I think the United States

271
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 2: to think about that. I also think the United States

272
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 2: ought to start printing more five hundred dollars bills again,

273
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 2: but that's another discussion for another day. So I'm I'm

274
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 2: I'm not in favor of removing of any of it.

275
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 2: They track us enough as it is. Yeah, and you

276
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 2: know through our algorithms and our phones and all of

277
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 2: this stuff, and your your car when you go through

278
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,719
Speaker 2: a toll and all this stuff, so they don't need

279
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 2: to know exactly what I'm that I'm spending my money

280
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 2: on all this junk food and raise my insurance costs

281
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:17,319
Speaker 2: as a result of it.

282
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: A lot of people brought up the good point too

283
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: at businesses when you price items, So if the item

284
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: comes to three point fifty, are they going to upcharge

285
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: you or downcharge you? And we all know the answer

286
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: to that, of course, so I can understand where that

287
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 1: comes into play as well being a problem.

288
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's definitely going to be a problem, and they

289
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 2: will upcharge you. You know, we've gotten some calls from

290
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 2: people saying, oh, you know, inflation and it's never going

291
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 2: to come down. Clay has even said I take a

292
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 2: little bit of a different approach on that. I think

293
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 2: the free market will adjust. And you know, if hey,

294
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 2: if nobody's buying your fourteen dollars head of lettuce, gosh,

295
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 2: the price is going to come down now, isn't it

296
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 2: until people start buying it again. So I do think

297
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 2: that there was some give and take, although generally inflation

298
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 2: is consistent.

299
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: Well let's listen to some of these talkbacks. Why don't tweet?

300
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 2: Oh? Absolutely? First? Uh let's well, let's start with the

301
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 2: one that we actually played on the air. This is

302
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 2: justin from Arizona, and then we'll roll into a couple

303
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 2: more we played. We did play Justin, but they all

304
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 2: mention me, so.

305
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, hmmm, I noticed a little

306
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: trend in the talkbacks that you selected.

307
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 2: I was very disappointed they didn't play more than Justin,

308
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 2: but you'll get to hear them right now. I think

309
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 2: we should keep the coins. I'm with your producer. We

310
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 2: have a thing we call the family fun jar, so

311
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 2: all of our loose change goes into there, and when

312
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 2: it fills up, we cash it in and go do

313
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 2: something fun as a.

314
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 5: Family, playing buck. Your producer is absolutely right. You can't

315
00:14:56,280 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 5: eliminate the currency. If you do, you're going to have

316
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 5: a complete disaster. I mean even think, how are you

317
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 5: going to run a garage sale. Everything is going to

318
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 5: be tracked and text thanks.

319
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 2: I agree completely with what producer Greg said. Once it starts,

320
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 2: it doesn't stop. The government doesn't work like that. I

321
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 2: like that Tom from Houston Man, he completely agrees with

322
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 2: producer Greg. And how can you not thank you? Tom?

323
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 2: I really appreciate it. Yeah, it's always nice to be

324
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 2: I texted my family and they're like, oh, you're famous now. Yes,

325
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 2: it feels really very good to be brought up and

326
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 2: share it on the show. Whether it's eclipses or coins

327
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 2: or whatever.

328
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: By the way I'm looking at. Let's play Tim from

329
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: Michigan listening on news radio WOD.

330
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 2: We actually played this one on the air too, and

331
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 2: I think this is also this is a great point.

332
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 2: I love him from Michigan. Let's maybe tick off the

333
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 2: next view because Andrew from Allentown has a great one.

334
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 2: And then Joe from Laimah, Ohio, Lima, Ohio. I believe

335
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 2: it is what it is like to bean, yes exactly.

336
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 2: And then there is a woman the last one that

337
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 2: will apply for you that it's an interesting discussion we

338
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 2: could pick up on after this. Yeah, let's go through this.

339
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: Okay, Tom from Michigan, I own.

340
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 2: A coin operated launder Matt, I sure hope they don't

341
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 2: get rid of borders.

342
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: So, Greg, I am one of those people living in

343
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: New York City in an apartment building. We don't have

344
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: laundry in our apartment nor in our building. We have

345
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: to haul our laundry to a laundry maat. We live

346
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: in a walk up so to several flights of stairs

347
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: and then down the street down the block to our

348
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: coin operated laundry mat. So quarters are very important.

349
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 2: I'm going to come out against myself here in this

350
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 2: and say, there's really no need to worry about that.

351
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 2: With a laundromat, all you could do is just purchase

352
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,640
Speaker 2: a card like you used to have to do in subways,

353
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,400
Speaker 2: and that's sort of the subway here in New York City,

354
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 2: and swipe your card at good point, it says the

355
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 2: same thing. It's just a matter of the laundromat owner

356
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 2: needing to upgrade their machinery to to to with the

357
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 2: readers for that sort of thing.

358
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: And that's that's a fair point. That's a fair point.

359
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 2: It is a little bit of a cost for the laundromats,

360
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 2: and maybe you know, maybe the government can give them

361
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 2: a little bit of a tax subscentive for that. But

362
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 2: I think I think there's there are ways around that

363
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 2: is what I would say.

364
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: That is a fair point. Okay, let's hear Andrea from Allentown.

365
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,679
Speaker 6: Really love you guys. But this is the first step

366
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:53,679
Speaker 6: in teaching our tiny children how to save money and

367
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 6: the worth of money. They put their little coins in

368
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,360
Speaker 6: their pea bank and then they save it up, save

369
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 6: it up, and one day they can buy something they

370
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 6: really want. So don't get rid of the coins.

371
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 2: So kids, kid, this is how we all learned about money.

372
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 2: You mentioned the piggy bank earlier. We used to you know, gosh,

373
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 2: if you saw a penny on the on the ground,

374
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 2: we would all, you know, run and pick it up.

375
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 2: If it was a dime. It was like score corners.

376
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 2: Forget about it. I mean like everything stopped for a core.

377
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 2: Everybody fought for a quarter.

378
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 1: And then how are you how are you going to

379
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: heads or.

380
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 2: Tails it exactly? I mean, what are we going to

381
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 2: do in the dollar? Right? Can you see them trying

382
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,919
Speaker 2: that at the super Bowl? I can't see that. All right,

383
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 2: let's go ahead to play these last two. This is

384
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 2: Joe and then a woman from Minneapolis who won't listen

385
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 2: to what she has to say. Joe, First, we go

386
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 2: out to you a couple times a month, and I

387
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 2: pay with cash seventy five percent of the time.

388
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 1: Well, Joe, you pay with cash. Clearly you do not

389
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,360
Speaker 1: live in New York City where we rarely go out

390
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 1: to dinner, because you need several hundies to just get

391
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: a basic meal at not even a fancy restaurant.

392
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, this was really kind of a comeback on Clay,

393
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 2: who was really making the comment that he didn't know

394
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 2: anybody who paid with cash anymore. He didn't think anybody

395
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 2: paid for cash for meals at restaurants anymore. And Joe

396
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,640
Speaker 2: really and there was actually there were a couple other

397
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,640
Speaker 2: talkbacks as well who were saying, oh, no, I pay

398
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 2: for cash, pay with cash all the time.

399
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: Somebody made a really good point about cash versus credit card,

400
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: and I remember, back way back when I was in college,

401
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: the same point being made is when you have to

402
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 1: pay for something using cash, you're more likely to understand

403
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 1: the value of it and the concept of debt, whereas

404
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 1: and this is why I really can't stand that they

405
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,160
Speaker 1: have credit card companies set up on college campuses trying

406
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: to get those freshmen signed up if they don't already

407
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 1: have a credit card. And kids just think, oh this

408
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 1: piece of plastic. They just click, swipe whatever. They don't

409
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:07,880
Speaker 1: really think about budgeting.

410
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 2: No. But you know, I will tell you, having gone

411
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 2: through several different American Express card memberships over the years,

412
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 2: you learn pretty quick when they start, you know, calling

413
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 2: you and hammering you, and you know, oh, hey, your

414
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 2: bill is overdue. Oh yeah, gosh, okay at the end.

415
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 2: So at the end of the first month or two,

416
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 2: you really start to do get the signal.

417
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:31,919
Speaker 1: But I just feel like if you're at a store

418
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 1: and you're a young person and you see an item

419
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 1: you might want to buy, if you have to pay

420
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:41,120
Speaker 1: for it in cash, there's something psychological about counting out

421
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: the change and like the tens, the twenties, maybe hundreds,

422
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: and then you realize, wow, this is an expensive item.

423
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: Where you hand over a piece of plastic. It just

424
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: doesn't register the same way.

425
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,439
Speaker 2: No, I totally, one hundred percent. My wife is the

426
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 2: same way. She loves paying with cash. It's the same thing.

427
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 2: And actually she uses coins when she pays, So if

428
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 2: it's you know, two seventy nine, she'll give them a

429
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 2: five and then seventy nine cents because she hates getting

430
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 2: a change back. She doesn't want to change back because

431
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 2: she's not a fan of the of the coins. So

432
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 2: we're very different in that way.

433
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,679
Speaker 1: Okay, let's go to this unidentified college.

434
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 2: Yes, woman from Minnesota. I think this is an interesting point.

435
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 4: I just had to comment on the penny thing.

436
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:30,959
Speaker 2: I am thrilled that they are stopping penny production because

437
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 2: I have a huge penny collection.

438
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: Maybe it'll be worth something more than a dollar.

439
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 2: Well, that could be you, allie. I mean you could be.

440
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,679
Speaker 2: You don't know how much money you could be making

441
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 2: in the future if you just continue holding on to

442
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 2: all those coins that you have, they could be worth

443
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,120
Speaker 2: something someday. Oh they're so heavy, they'll be so rare,

444
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 2: I think what you know. Unfortunately, there's so many in circulation,

445
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 2: it's just going to be face value for a long

446
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 2: long time.

447
00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm going to be around by the

448
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: time there was something.

449
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't. I don't think this woman has to

450
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:07,439
Speaker 2: worry about making you know, four dollars per penny or

451
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 2: anything like that anytime soon.

452
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 1: So Greg a penny for your thoughts.

453
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 2: This has been fun. It's been nice to do this again.

454
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 2: You know, we've got had a lot of stuff going

455
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 2: on around here, and it's always crazy, and especially with

456
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,959
Speaker 2: the launch of Clay's new book and you know, everything

457
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 2: else that's been going the holidays are coming up, and

458
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 2: it's just been you know.

459
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 1: Well, I think in generally it's a frenetic pace, this

460
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: job anyways, but then you add to it this administration,

461
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 1: the amount of news we're getting. It's so much juggling

462
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:48,120
Speaker 1: there is and deciding what to focus on. So sometimes

463
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 1: when we come across a story that's just a little

464
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,679
Speaker 1: bit lighter, even if it does touch on other larger

465
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: issues like inflation, we just sort of exhale and have

466
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: fun with it, and it is a welcome change. And

467
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: then when we see all of you email and calling

468
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 1: and wanting to weigh in as well, it's validating.

469
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 2: It definitely is. We love it when you respond to

470
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 2: something that something hits you and you send us to feedback,

471
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 2: whether it's through the VIP, email, through the talkback, or

472
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 2: even calling us here on the show. And I'm always

473
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 2: happy to take your calls, and because I'm usually the

474
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:29,239
Speaker 2: one who's answering them, occasionally Producer Mark occasionally Ali so.

475
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 1: And we should also remind people that the talkback feature

476
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: is also something you can do. Some people are still

477
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: a little confused how it works, So just a quick

478
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 1: run through. You just go on your phone, fire up

479
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app, it's free, find the Clay and Bucks show,

480
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 1: and you'll see a little microphone icon on the upper

481
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: right hand corner of the screen. You just click it. It

482
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 1: gives you thirty seconds to leave your message, and off

483
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 1: it goes and Greg gets all of those and listens

484
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: and some of them get on the air.

485
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 2: Yep. We always do our best to make sure that

486
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 2: klaimbuck have an idea of exactly what's going on and

487
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 2: where the general population is feeling. So we always keep

488
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,360
Speaker 2: them up to date on what's going on as what

489
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 2: you're feeling and thinking.

490
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: And on that note, is are there any sponsors we

491
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 1: should mention on today's show?

492
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 2: Well, I was just I was just thinking, maybe you

493
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 2: know it's getting cooler out, it might be a nice

494
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 2: time to talk about Cozy Earth.

495
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: Well, Greg, we are not on video right now, but

496
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: I am wearing my Cozy Earth cardigan.

497
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 2: It's a very nice cardening. I like that sweater a lot.

498
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,199
Speaker 1: Actually, it's very cozy. And a funny story is I

499
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,479
Speaker 1: got this and we went to d C. Clay and

500
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: I were there a few weeks ago, and just like

501
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: he has trouble with the hotel lights, I seem to

502
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 1: have trouble with the thermostat. I can never get the

503
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:59,120
Speaker 1: room to be a temperature that it's either too hot

504
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,439
Speaker 1: too cold, it's goldilocks. I can't get it just right right.

505
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: So I was freezing and I had my Cozy Earth

506
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: sweater and I ended up using it as a blanket

507
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:12,400
Speaker 1: because it's an oversized sweater and it was great nice.

508
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 2: It looks so warm, and it's very soft, and it's fashionable.

509
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 2: I think it's it brings together everything. It's everything you

510
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 2: want in any sort of sweater that you have. And

511
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 2: the fact that it's Cozy Earth too, you know, the

512
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 2: quality is always there.

513
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 1: Yes, it's Kashmir, so I feel very fancy in it. Oh,

514
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 1: I cannot bring it home. I leave it at work

515
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 1: because if I bring it home, the moths in our apartment.

516
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 2: Oh no, you have moths.

517
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 1: Oh no, most New York City dwellings in my neighborhood.

518
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 6: Do.

519
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 2: I'm putting mothballs in your Christmas stocking this year?

520
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 1: No, those things smell so bad. We have cedar chips,

521
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: We do various things, but it's like you almost can't

522
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 1: get away from it in these old buildings.

523
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 2: Yeah. So your cats don't chase the moths.

524
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 1: They do, so they do. They play with them, though

525
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: they don't really do much else. Oh no, So.

526
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,040
