He's 225 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 11: the one I recognized the most, but I know there 226 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:33,119 Speaker 11: were a lot of other sports people there, and Wade 227 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,680 Speaker 11: Phillips was there. One of the items they had in 228 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 11: the auction was a blue blazer that belonged to Bum 229 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 11: Phillips and it had his name monogrammed on the inside 230 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:50,200 Speaker 11: on the pocket.

Wade Phillips was 232 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 11: beating on it. There were two other gentlemen that were 233 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 11: beating on it also, and the price went on up 234 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,920 Speaker 11: and went on up, and they were beating back and forth, 235 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 11: and you know, it went over one thousand dollars twelve 236 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:13,440 Speaker 11: hundred dollars for the blazer, and but Wade quit beating 237 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 11: on it and the other two gentlemen bought it.

And I'm not trying to be 249 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 6: a professional hater, but I'm a younger guy and I'd 250 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,640 Speaker 6: take eight hundred dollars a year mortgage or eight hundred 251 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 6: dollars a month mortgage in twenty seven years. It's like, man, 252 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 6: I think about my generation, I'm like, I don't know 253 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:20,879 Speaker 6: how we're going to do it, you know, And I 254 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,680 Speaker 6: hate to sound like the typical younger generation complaining about it, 255 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 6: but I just I don't know. I know you like 256 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,120 Speaker 6: this topic, so because it gets your opinion. 257 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:34,680 Speaker 1: I don't understand what you're saying. You're you're are you 258 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:37,679 Speaker 1: explain what generation? 259 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 6: Well, we're worried about. There's there's not going to be 260 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 6: an eight hundred our mortgage ever again, you know that's tribby. 261 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 6: I would say, ivers, I think twenty seven hundred in 262 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:52,439 Speaker 6: the US, You know what I mean? 263 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:58,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, but there's inflation. I guess there there's well inflation. 264 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 6: Like it's kind of ten pole play tenfold inflation. What 265 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:08,639 Speaker 6: do you do for a living, John, I do sales 266 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,159 Speaker 6: for a construct supply company. 267 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 1: How much do you make? 268 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 9: Are you? 269 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 1: Are you straight commission to your base put plus a commission? 270 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 6: Commission straight commission? 271 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,360 Speaker 1: What you what did you do for twenty twenty four? 272 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 6: It can be anywhere from like the probably one hundred range, 273 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 6: I would say, on average. 274 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:35,160 Speaker 1: So your one hundred in twenty twenty five, I'll bet 275 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:42,880 Speaker 1: you is equivalent or more than Rick's income twenty seven 276 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 1: years ago. By the way, the thirty year fixed in 277 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:51,640 Speaker 1: ninety eight was about six point nine, which is similar 278 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 1: to what we're seeing now.

I worked every extra job I could find 292 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,240 Speaker 1: for eight years, and I paid it off two years early, 293 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:45,399 Speaker 1: and then I lost half of it in the divorce. 294 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,159 Speaker 1: Young people today telling me that they're worried about this 295 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 1: and they're upset about this, and I have no patience 296 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:59,159 Speaker 1: for that, because we didn't worry when I was coming up, 297 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,639 Speaker 1: because nobody told us to. We just got after it, 298 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,200 Speaker 1: and that's what you have to do. These are not 299 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:09,879 Speaker 1: bad times. These are good times. I people do not 300 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,919 Speaker 1: like my opinion on this because it doesn't pat him 301 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:14,359 Speaker 1: on the back. But I'm going to tell you in 302 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 1: very clear terms, there's somebody to your left getting rich 303 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 1: there's somebody to your right stagnating, and that person to 304 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: your right is blaming everybody but themselves. You want to 305 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 1: know what the problem with young people today is spending. 306 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:33,159 Speaker 1: It's not earning, it's not interest rates. The problem with 307 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 1: people today is spending. People do not understand how much 308 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 1: they spend, and they do not understand that they don't 309 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 1: have to spend that. When Dave Ramsey tells people beans 310 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 1: and rice, rice and beans, that's what he means. So 311 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 1: I love eating out. It's my great treat. It's one 312 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 1: of the things I enjoy the most. But if you 313 00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:00,200 Speaker 1: are spending money eating out when you could do a 314 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,879 Speaker 1: very basic meal at home, you don't complain about how 315 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 1: much you're making. You just don't do it. We didn't 316 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 1: eat out as a kid. We just didn't eat out. 317 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 1: We didn't eat out because my parents didn't have the 318 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:15,439 Speaker 1: money for it. So my mother cooked very basic meals 319 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,919 Speaker 1: like hamburger, helper and Kraft mac and cheese, which are 320 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 1: dirt cheap. There was ground round in the freezer every 321 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 1: day and she made something with it, spaghetti whatever it was, 322 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,679 Speaker 1: with ragos, sauce. It was all those things were very simple. 323 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 1: Nothing went bad and you did it. But it's not 324 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,680 Speaker 1: that hard. We're not living through the late seventies with 325 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:45,160 Speaker 1: fifteen percent interest rates. These are good times. Buckle down, 326 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:49,440 Speaker 1: you got this. Hey, this is Tracy Bird. 327 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 8: And I tipped my hand to the keeper the stock 328 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 8: and the salt. 329 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,159 Speaker 1: We're talking about the turkey drop episode of w Caripe 330 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 1: in Cincinnati yesterday.

I did not realize. Jim said they had 333 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 1: a five story boom lift and they did drop stuff 334 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 1: in the parking lot and Mack loved it. He said, 335 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 1: we dropped TVs and people were driving up and bringing 336 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 1: us things to drop off, to drop off the boom. 337 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 1: Now that sounds like fun, doesn't it. That sounded like 338 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 1: a blast to me. That and catching stuff on fire only, writes. 339 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 1: My husband and I were taking a thirty five hundred 340 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:47,919 Speaker 1: mile road trip in a Mustang GT during the summer 341 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,200 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty.
