16
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 1: You should see the face right now.

17
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 4: Yeah.

18
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 3: Today, let me just say today like, I am as

19
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 3: far from paradise as you can get. Okay, I am

20
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 3: taking a friend to the airport this morning. I leave

21
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 3: the garage door open and we're getting in the car.

22
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 3: I start to put out of the garage. My garage

23
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 3: doraw which weighs like six hundred pounds because it's solid

24
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 3: wood with metal backing, crashes into the hood of my

25
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 3: Mercedes Dens. It it looks like you know it looks

26
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 3: like I don't know, monkeys were jumping all over.

27
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 2: They usually like bounce off and stop and they go, no,

28
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 2: this bounced and didn't and stop. It hit it.

29
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 3: And what happened was the handle in like several places,

30
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 3: the handle like the release handle you know for an

31
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 3: automatic garage. Somehow it came loose because the string was whatever,

32
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 3: it doesn't matter, Can I just tell you. I called

33
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 3: the company that installed it, because the guy that was

34
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 3: here who installed it the first time to now fix it, said, yeah,

35
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 3: we made a mistake, Like we're supposed to keep those

36
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 3: ropes tied shorter so they don't catch on your car

37
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 3: because if they do, it catches the metal and it

38
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 3: releases the thing and hits your car.

39
00:01:58,880 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: So it's their fault.

40
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I called up the manager and I said, well,

41
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 3: I said, your your workman said, you know, we have

42
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 3: to do better, and he goes, not we, and I said, exactly,

43
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 3: your worker needs to do better, And would you like

44
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 3: the name of my my uh, you.

45
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 4: Know, collision repair company. So my car. Really it looks

46
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 4: like someone just pounded it. That was my fun.

47
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 3: Nobody got hurt, nobody got the car. It's just but

48
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 3: you know what it's the only car I have. Did

49
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 3: you have a good day, You're having a good week.

50
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been a crazy week.

51
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 2: Actually, yes, it's it's always crazy, but I'm enjoying it.

52
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:39,959
Speaker 1: Okay, been crazy.

53
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you know what that's that's that's summer in Austin.

54
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 4: That's the way.

55
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 3: That's what it is here all the time. So you know,

56
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 3: welcome to my world. All right, you're ready to get

57
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 3: in the episode. We're going to start with the question

58
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 3: of the day.

59
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 4: Here we go.

60
00:02:55,200 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 3: How does money play a factor in adult friendships? You know,

61
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 3: what are some faux pas regarding money that you wish

62
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 3: more people were aware of? Can I just say, now

63
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 3: that you've been studying French, you know what a faux

64
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 3: pas is.

65
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: Let's just say.

66
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 2: Let me just say people are clueless sometimes about about money.

67
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 3: Well, like for my friendships, I think friendships are just enjentships.

68
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 2: Like when the girls all go out to dinner, Like

69
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 2: after work, we go out to dinner and the one

70
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 2: girl doesn't drink at all, and the other girl has

71
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 2: to have three espresso martinis afterwards, and that gets added

72
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 2: to the bill.

73
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: Like, think about it.

74
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 2: This girl doesn't work or doesn't have as much as

75
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 2: you have, like think about it.

76
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 3: So I think that's one of the faux pas that

77
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 3: people will order the most expensive thing on the menu

78
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 3: and fifteen drinks and then go, hey, Kathy, let's just

79
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 3: split the bill. And I'm looking even but I have

80
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 3: been and it cuts both ways. I think another faux

81
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 3: pas that one is to order expensive food, lots of drinks, appetizers,

82
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 3: and then Kathy rolls in, you know, orders a salad

83
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 3: and a glass of water, and my bills one hundred bucks.

84
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 3: Like what, So that's a faux pop. Be mindful of

85
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 3: other people. But I think another one is and equally bad,

86
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 3: is when you go out to a restaurant and you'll say,

87
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 3: can we have separate checks? And that is a lot

88
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 3: of work for a server and women I'm going to

89
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 3: get hammered for saying this are notoriously bad tempers. That

90
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 3: has been my experience. S They're like, well, I'm not

91
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 3: going to give them twenty percent because I just ordered

92
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 3: this or I just ordered that. So I'm just telling

93
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 3: you what people say. So I feel like if you

94
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 3: if you if you pay your own bill, grade but

95
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 3: make sure you're tipping appropriately. I think if you borrow money,

96
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 3: you know, neither a borrow nor lender. B I'm sure

97
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 3: it says that in the Bible somewhere. I think I

98
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 3: think too many people borrow money and then you know.

99
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 2: What happened Susan, Oh, I do they get amnesia? I've

100
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 2: lent money out, I borrowed money from you. I'm remember

101
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 2: a good friend. It always hurts a friendship, Yeah, it

102
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 2: always does. I mean I've had this situation quite a

103
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 2: few times that I've lent money and I had to

104
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 2: call every your text every pay day.

105
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,359
Speaker 1: Oh, I can't do it this week. My rent is

106
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: to excuse me.

107
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what happened to me with a very

108
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 3: good friend. I think I've told this story before. And

109
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 3: I lent the money and she said she'd paid back

110
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 3: when she was a nurse. She said she would pay

111
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 3: it back when she got paid in.

112
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 1: Six weeks now and still hasn't paid it or no.

113
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 3: She finally it was ugly and she said she finally

114
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 3: fessed up and said, you have more money than I do.

115
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 3: You you don't you have you can afford it? And

116
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 3: I said, oh, no, nothing I know. So so that's

117
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 3: another faux PAP thinking that when you borrow money, you

118
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 3: don't have to pay it back big No.

119
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 4: Well no, I mean like when you and I are

120
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 4: on our cruise.

121
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:11,919
Speaker 3: I've paid for a couple of things, You've paid for

122
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 3: a couple of things, and we'll straighten out.

123
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 4: But you and I are like.

124
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 3: That, We'll say, yeah, well it's still money and it's

125
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:19,359
Speaker 3: still with a friendship.

126
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 2: But not when you're both doing it and you're going

127
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 2: away together and you're splitting.

128
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 1: It, you know what I mean. But I'm just saying,

129
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 1: it's like it's you have borrow.

130
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 2: That's different than when we're doing something together.

131
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 4: Yeah. I think anyway.

132
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 3: I think when you go out to dinner, they'll My

133
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 3: experience again has been men are like, let's just split

134
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 3: the bill. Women are either what we said initially, like

135
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 3: you know, they'll order the most expensive thing and then

136
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 3: say let's split the bill, or they're very vocal, I

137
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 3: only want to pay for my bill, oh, or someone

138
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 3: says I forgot my wallet, you know, can you put

139
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 3: it on I'll pay you back later a long time.

140
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 2: But I also some people if we're going to split,

141
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 2: and one person because you and I have been in

142
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 2: this situation, and the one person says, no, no, no,

143
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 2: I only had this, this, and this, and they want

144
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 2: to pay exactly that.

145
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: No, no gratuity, no tax tax no. I'm like, whoa, whoa, wow.

146
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 2: I don't If it's a difference of twenty bucks, I'd

147
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 2: rather not.

148
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: Great.

149
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 4: Well, I'm glad well on this criticism. Thank you so much.

150
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 4: I'll be letting you it's only.

151
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 3: Twenty twenty bucks until I don't worry about it, Susan,

152
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 3: it's on you. I do think money though it can, it.

153
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: Can cause a lot of problems.

154
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 4: It can.

155
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 3: I think it's been self aware, as many things in

156
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 3: life are. It's oh, you know what, I went to

157
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 3: the spa. SU's gave me one hundred dollars because I

158
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 3: forgot whatever. I need to go back to my room

159
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 3: and catch you the hundred bucks like it just it's

160
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 3: just being self aware. And Susan, I don't have the

161
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 3: hundred bucks to pay you back. So thanks so much.

162
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 3: I really appreciate me, Kathy, I do know on my phone.

163
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh.

164
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: Alright, we're going to start our fan questions.

165
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 2: Okay, Anonymous here from Delco my area, got.

166
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: The Old Boy.

167
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 2: I can't wait to read this one. I need some advice.

168
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 2: I recently moved in with my boyfriend of two years.

169
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 2: I couldn't wait to start this next chapter. Let me

170
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 2: start by saying I lived on my own very comfortably,

171
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 2: within my means. He lives in a more expensive area

172
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 2: and his rent is expensive. Now he makes more than

173
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 2: two times my salary, but he expects me to pay

174
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 2: half of everything. I give him half of his rent

175
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 2: every month, and I think he appreciates it, but he

176
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 2: will make little comments about other expenses. I really try

177
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 2: to buy growth things for the house, et cetera. When

178
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 2: we go out, he will make comments about him paying

179
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 2: for the bill. I just feel uncomfortable. I'm struggling as

180
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 2: a lot of my money goes to him. Now, Oh boy,

181
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 2: I have zero disposable income. Sometimes I feel as if

182
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 2: it would be better going back on my own, living

183
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 2: within my means. I want to don't know what to do,

184
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 2: as I do love him, but I feel as if

185
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,559
Speaker 2: I am his roommate now and not his girlfriend.

186
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

187
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 2: Oh yes, delco, delco, delco, We love you, Kathy. What's

188
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 2: the first word that comes to mind with the sea curb?

189
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 2: Hit him, send him to the curb, communicate you need

190
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 2: to sit him down and freaking tell him exactly what

191
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 2: you told us.

192
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: You make more, you live in a more expensive place.

193
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 3: Yes, I like the idea of send him to the curb.

194
00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 3: This is a red flag. She's right to tell you, Delco.

195
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 3: But I think he's earning twice the money. He's looking

196
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,959
Speaker 3: to have a nice situation where he listened in a

197
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 3: nice place and you're paying half the rent if you

198
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 3: This is why. By the way, again, listen, miss s Delco.

199
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,559
Speaker 3: I'm sure you're a lovely girl. I bet you are

200
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 3: because I know people from Delco and they are all

201
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 3: lovely people.

202
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 4: So here's the thing, though, if.

203
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 3: You moved in with him and you didn't have these

204
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 3: conversations first, and maybe they did, maybe he earned less money.

205
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 3: But the fact is, if you didn't have these conversations

206
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 3: to begin with, you know, Joe, I don't earn a

207
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 3: lot of money, and you know I'm a whatever you

208
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 3: know whatever she does, And I don't have a lot

209
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 3: of money. I don't have a lot of disposable income.

210
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 3: So how are we going to work this out? Because

211
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 3: if his life is a fair yeah, well what's fair

212
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 3: is splitting everything down the middle?

213
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 2: And is she totaling up the food bill because I

214
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 2: know grocery store are expensive.

215
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 4: No, but she's saying, I try to buy groceries.

216
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 3: The fact is, it sounds like he wants to split

217
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 3: everything down the middle. And that's fair in the legal

218
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 3: you know, most finite definition of the word.

219
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 4: It's fair.

220
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,439
Speaker 2: She moved into his place, which was way more expensive

221
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 2: than her place.

222
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 4: Well, and that's where she went.

223
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: We're going in. You're right.

224
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,559
Speaker 2: Before going in, I would have said, Babe, my rent

225
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 2: is not like this, So how do you want to

226
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 2: work this?

227
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,839
Speaker 1: Because I cannot afford.

228
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 3: Or susan, I got a really simple solution for Hey, buddy,

229
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 3: you tell him you want sex, money on the table,

230
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 3: charge him every time.

231
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 1: You'll be telling you money.

232
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 4: You'll be moving. You'll be moving to the penthouse here

233
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 4: pretty soon.

234
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 2: I know you're thinking it'd be better to go back

235
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 2: on your own, living within your means. But before you

236
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 2: do that, if you really do love him, and if

237
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 2: he loves you, he will make the time sit down

238
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 2: and communicate and share exactly the truth always sets you free,

239
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 2: tell him exactly how you're feeling. This okay, but I

240
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 2: don't feel like I could keep up here. I moved

241
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 2: into your place and he's collecting half, so he's on

242
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,199
Speaker 2: scott Free and makes more than two times more than you.

243
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: Then that's not fair.

244
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 2: I wouldn't present it like an ultimatum, but I would

245
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 2: definitely at the end of your conversation, because if we

246
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 2: can't work something out, I'm going to have to go,

247
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 2: and that's an ultimatum.

248
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:27,079
Speaker 1: Susan, Well, if we can't work, that's still an ultimatum.

249
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:28,199
Speaker 4: I'm telling you.

250
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 3: I would say, Delco, you need to back up and

251
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 3: say to him, let's test. Let's test how you know

252
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 3: how much you are his roommate and how much you're

253
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 3: his girlfriend. If you say to him, hey, Joe, I

254
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,719
Speaker 3: really do love you, but this is too much for me.

255
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 3: I don't have any disposal income. I can't go out

256
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 3: with my friends. I can't buy the new pair of

257
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 3: shoes I want because you know, you earn twice what

258
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 3: I do, sweetie, and and good on you. You've got

259
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 3: lots of raises, but this is what I earn and

260
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 3: I can't do that. So if if so, I'm I

261
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 3: think the best thing for me to do is move back.

262
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 3: We'll still be boyfriend girlfriend, but you know you live here.

263
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 3: Watch him change his tone because I'm guessing.

264
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 1: Well, that's the same thing I said.

265
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 3: No, no, no, don't don't, I will give I will

266
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:24,359
Speaker 3: move out. I would move out, and I would say,

267
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 3: you know, if things change, we become engaged, whatever. But

268
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 3: right now, this take I guess what I'm saying to

269
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 3: her is take charge of your life, be responsible for

270
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 3: who you are, for your expenses, and you know, don't

271
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:44,319
Speaker 3: expect him to say, oh, that's okay, sweetie, I'll cover everything.

272
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you know, what is that how she wants

273
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: to live?

274
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 2: What he may say it's okay to move out? No, no, no, no,

275
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 2: that he'll pay more.

276
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 4: I say it. Does she want to be a kept woman?

277
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think these are things women. She's

278
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: still going to pay her way, but just not right.

279
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 3: I think the I think the lesson here is miss Scalco,

280
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 3: lovely woman that you are, and to everyone else listening,

281
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 3: have these conversations.

282
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 4: Before you move in.

283
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 3: Don't wait until you're knee deep in it, and it's

284
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 3: going to get ugly.

285
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: I mean that that was a simple question.

286
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 2: So let's talk about what you expect from me.

287
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 3: Like if I move into your house with you, Susan,

288
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 3: I mean I can't because Frederick is probably going to

289
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 3: be there.

290
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 4: But let's just say, you know you have the master.

291
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 4: I'm being serious.

292
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 3: Let's just say we were two girlfriends, friends that we are,

293
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 3: and I decided to move to Philly. And yeah, I'm

294
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 3: making this all up obviously.

295
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 2: Would you expect me to pay half of everything because

296
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 2: you have the mask paid for?

297
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: But I expect you to pay rent? Yes, yes, but

298
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: I'm sayingbody that lives here with pay rent? Right.

299
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, But here's the thing. When you're young and they

300
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 3: all have expenses, then you have to sit and do

301
00:14:58,080 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 3: a budget.

302
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: I bet they against Can I afford it?

303
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 4: Yes?

304
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 3: She so, Delco. You should have done that. You should

305
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 3: have seen if she didn't. But she is now she

306
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 3: is let us know, let us know how the conversation.

307
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 3: Susan's right, how the conversation rent?

308
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: Right, nast and so.

309
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, Susan listened, Delko, you know you might want to

310
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 4: move over there?

311
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: Well, let me tell you the pool you get.

312
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 4: But here's the thing.

313
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 3: When she's home, she'll cook for you, she'll grocery shop,

314
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 3: she'll straighten your hair for you.

315
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: It's really just have to be really neat.

316
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 3: Oh god, no, you have to beyond really neat. I

317
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 3: hope you don't mind. While you're eating, she's going to

318
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 3: be sweeping the floor underneath your chair. But other than that,

319
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 3: thank you so much for writing in and we good luck.

320
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 3: And you know what, I hope that the love with

00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 3: that you have for this man, I hope it, you know, continues.

322
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 3: But work it out. Try to work it out, all right,

323
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 3: Let's move on to question number two.

324
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 4: Hi, ladies, I need some advice.

325
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 3: My friends and I are all recent college graduates, all

326
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 3: working our first full time jobs. Most of us make

327
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 3: stable money, while our friend Tilly makes well over six

328
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 3: figures as she works in finance.

329
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,479
Speaker 4: Here's the deal. Tilly is the.

330
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 3: Only person in our group that nickels and dimes us

331
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 3: for everything, and there.

332
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: It is always the way.

333
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 3: For instance, everyone else pays for drinks, calls cars, et cetera,

334
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 3: and never requests money because we all know it's a

335
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 3: constant flow of us getting things for each other.

336
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: Well that's a mistake anyway.

337
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 3: However, anytime Tilly buys anything, she charges us for it immediately.

338
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 3: Some of the girls have tried to talk to her,

339
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 3: but she always just says, just request me and I'll

340
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 3: pay you back. It hit a breaking point when she

341
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 3: Venma requested us each one dollar and thirty seven cents

342
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 3: exactly for uber to go to someone's house for dinner.

343
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 3: It was an uber to our friend's birthday dinner, and

344
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 3: she also requested the money from the birthday girl. Is

345
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,360
Speaker 3: this friendship break up worthy since we've tried to talk

346
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 3: to her or are we overreacting? Money is the only

347
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 3: issue we have with Tilly and we love her otherwise,

348
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 3: thanks so much?

349
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 4: Okay, Susan, can we answer this one in unison?

350
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 2: Man a dollar thirty seven? I would give her pennies?

351
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 3: Susan would so No, Susan would venmo you a Nickela day,

352
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 3: a nicola day for the next Oh jeez, let me

353
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 3: just say there is something wrong. It's ridiculous. There's something wrong.

354
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 3: First of all, yay, Tilly.

355
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 4: That was my grandmother's name.

356
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: By the way, she's making great money.

357
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, six figures right out of college. It's the name Tilly.

358
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 3: I love it tight, whatever it is, she said. Some

359
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,439
Speaker 3: of the girls have tried to talk to her, but

360
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 3: she always says, just request me and I'll pay you back.

361
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,239
Speaker 3: Here's where the problem is. Remember I said earlier day,

362
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:03,199
Speaker 3: not request, no, no, no, Remember neither a borrower nor

363
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 3: a lender. Be Remember I said that. Here's what she said.

364
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 3: She said, for instance, everyone else pays for drinks blah

365
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 3: blah blah and never requests money because we all know

366
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 3: it's a constant flow of us getting things for each other.

367
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 3: There's your problem right there.

368
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:18,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is.

369
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 4: That's your problem.

370
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 3: Because if you don't have a kiddy, if you're all

371
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 3: going out for dinner and you don't put the money

372
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:30,400
Speaker 3: in the kitty to pay for the ubers and the drinks, whatever,

373
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 3: you got a problem.

374
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: You got a problem if you if.

375
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 3: You say, oh, it all comes out in the wash,

376
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 3: well to Tilly, apparently it doesn't come out in the wash.

377
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 2: And so so what do you think, Kathy? Is it

378
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 2: something that you you know?

379
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 3: Wait, since wait, some people don't know what a kidd is.

380
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 3: We got to tell what a kidd is. A kiddie

381
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 3: is you put your money together, you put it in

382
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 3: a wallet, and it's where like a group of girls

383
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 3: are going out, you say, let's each put fifty Yeah,

384
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 3: let's each put fifty dollars in the kiddy. And that's

385
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 3: what everyone pays that night for. So one person's responsible

386
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,679
Speaker 3: for managing the money, and that way, nobody is quote

387
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 3: paying for things and it all comes out.

388
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 4: In the wash.

389
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,679
Speaker 3: Everyone's paying and equal share. That's the right way to

390
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 3: do it. So I would I would tell people that

391
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 3: try that would kill it. Yeah, before you break up

392
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,360
Speaker 3: and say, you know what, we're gonna do it differently.

393
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 3: Now when we all go out, we're gonna have a

394
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 3: kiddie and everyone's going to put in and decide what

395
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 3: the number is, and none of this venomoulater stuff.

396
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 4: Cash on the bare head, right, cash.

397
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 1: Pennies a dollar thirty seven.

398
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 2: It's going to be heavy, and I give her one

399
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 2: at a time because that is bullshit.

400
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 1: She is being an ass. If you ask me, I mean,

401
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 1: maybe let's catch up for the birth, says.

402
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 3: I'm going to play the devil's advocate here for a minute.

403
00:19:55,040 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 3: She's earning six figures. You know what, maybe chilling thirty seven? No,

404
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 3: maybe Tilly is Maybe Tilly's trying to prove a point.

405
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 4: We don't know. We're only getting one side of the story.

406
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,479
Speaker 3: Maybe Tilly has paid for several rounds of drinks and

407
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 3: the girls and the girls.

408
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: Alike, you think the girls would have said that.

409
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 4: Maybe maybe not. I mean, we're only that's why they

410
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 4: have courts of losses.

411
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 2: You're living, darling. You don't look good right now. You're

412
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 2: making a lot of money and you're to send it

413
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 2: a text that you want a dollar third. You're not

414
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 2: hearing what I'm saying. Maybe I'm hearing and I'm reading

415
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 2: and I'm listening.

416
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,919
Speaker 3: But maybe Tilly, No, maybe Tilly has paid more than

417
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 3: her fair share, and maybe she's tired of it.

418
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 2: Some of the girls have tried to talk to her.

419
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:48,439
Speaker 2: Anytime Tilly buys anything, she charges them immediately.

420
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 1: So no, she has not picked up the tap.

421
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 4: You don't know that.

422
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: It says it right there, and ink it.

423
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,640
Speaker 3: Says she's the only one who nickles and dimes. But

424
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 3: she goes on to say, Susan, Darling, that we all

425
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 3: just kind of flow. The money flows because we all

426
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 3: pay for things. That's the problem right there.

427
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,120
Speaker 2: Con don't do low of us getting things for each other.

428
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 2: How getting things for each other, don't do it. However,

429
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 2: when Tilly buys anything, she charges them immediately, So well,

430
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 2: do her own tab. If you still want to be

431
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 2: your friend till you're on your own, do your own

432
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 2: thing or not.

433
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 3: I mean, I honestly, I honestly would probably cut you know,

434
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 3: make her listen to this podcast and say yes, and

435
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 3: so Tolly congrabs on your six figure job. We would

436
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 3: love for you to take Susan and me out for

437
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 3: drinks and you pay, and we will each them you

438
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,919
Speaker 3: one dollar and thirty seven cents as our contribution to

439
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:47,479
Speaker 3: the evening.

440
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 2: And a lot of times we go out and you

441
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 2: buy around. I'll buy the next round, Nancy will buy

442
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:53,120
Speaker 2: the next round.

443
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 1: It's all fair.

444
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 2: It's all even when everybody's doing the same thing. If

445
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 2: one person's having a coke and two people are having champagne,

446
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:03,120
Speaker 2: you know, it's different.

447
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 3: And that's why and that's why money back to the

448
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 3: question of the day, that's why money becomes an issue

449
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 3: because we don't know the you know, the elephant in

450
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,640
Speaker 3: the room here is you don't know who has money

451
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 3: and who can afford it, who's the last of the

452
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 3: big spenders, and who really is on a tight budget,

453
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 3: And damn it, I cannot afford to buy Susan too,

454
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:26,119
Speaker 3: martiniz tonight.

455
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 4: You know, you don't know.

456
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: It's funny.

457
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 2: I'm the one that's on the tight budget and I

458
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 2: end up picking up the tab for so many people

459
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 2: because they hesitate, and then I feel uncomfortable.

460
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: I always do it.

461
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:45,479
Speaker 3: Okay, wait, I have to tell you I went out

462
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 3: for drinks. This is so funny. We're having this conversation

463
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 3: today and you know the girls. I won't mention her name,

464
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 3: but what my friend's here. She I went out and

465
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 3: met her for drinks. And I had been out for

466
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 3: lunch with a friend, and so I wasn't hungry, and

467
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 3: I had some chips, you know, that were on the table,

468
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 3: and I had two drinks and I said, let's split

472
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:19,360
Speaker 3: I was sober. I just not great at math. I said, oh, well,

473
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,919
Speaker 3: now let me just pay for my drinks. And to

477

Speaker 3: I went, wait a minute, twenty eight dollars.

478
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 1: Twenty eight dollars.

479
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 4: That guy got a hell of a tip. Or she

480
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 4: put a lot of money in her life.

481
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: Would have been good. And she took it right.

482
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 4: Oh, yes, she did, see what I mean.

483
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 3: But I'm just saying you and I are kind of

484
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 3: the same cloth, like God forbid. Oh that's Susan Knowles,

485
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,800

Speaker 3: your girlfriends, because you know what, the girlfriends are worth

495
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,439
Speaker 3: so much more than the dollar thirty seven they're paying you.

496
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: It's so true, all right.

497
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 3: By the way, Susan today, Wait, Susan, Yes, why haven't

498
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 3: you paid I? Venmo requested you two dollars and ten cents.

499
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:30,640
Speaker 3: You have not paid me yet.

500
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 2: I would laugh at you, Okay, I know, its just

501
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 2: literally laugh. Today we're going to be doing a Golden

502
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 2: Spotlight segment, so there's no games today, Kat. It's a

503
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 2: Golden Spotlight segment where we talk about something that impacts

504
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:53,439
Speaker 2: the golden community. Today, we're going to be talking about scams.

505
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 2: I mean, how about how they get over on so

506
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 2: many elderly people I mean are golden okay, okay, and

507
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 2: we're very proud of it, and we preach to everyone

508
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 2: how life is not over. It's still full of possibilities,

509
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 2: but you do have to be careful.

510
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 3: So here's the thing I think golden's and and honestly,

511
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 3: I don't put myself or you in this category because

512
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 3: I think you and I are more aware of because

513
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 3: we're on social media. We you know, we keep up

514
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 3: a little bit more than some everybody, right, I will,

515
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 3: So I think that's why, because golden people don't always

516
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 3: know they can't hear's. I'll tell you a story, true story.

517
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 3: My mom, my stepmom who passed away two years ago,

518
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 3: who was really my mother. She got scammed. I'm not

519
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 3: going to say how much, but several thousand dollars. A

520
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 3: guy called her. She couldn't hear, she did never hear

521
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 3: anad in and she said hello, and she and my

522
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 3: mom said Kyle, which is my Kyle? And the guy said, yeah, Grahama,

523
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 3: And it wasn't even the name. He calls her and

524
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 3: he said he was in Mexico and in jail and

525
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 3: he needed money, and please don't tell my mother. She'll

526
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:15,919
Speaker 3: be so angry. My stepmother, God lover. She went to

527
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 3: Western Union and wired the money, and then he called

528
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 3: back and said, Grahama, I need more. She wired more money,

529
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 3: and and there was a happened there.

530
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 4: It did now Western Union. There was a settlement.

531
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,120
Speaker 3: There was apparently there was some insider you know bs

532
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 3: going on, and she did recoup some of the money.

533
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 3: But when I said to her, you know, I sat

534
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 3: her down and I said why, She said, I don't know.

535
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 3: I just thought maybe he didn't want you to know.

536
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 2: Said the first reactions to help your grandchild exactly.

537
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 4: And I said, so, so that's part of it.

538
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,199
Speaker 1: They they even on the phone they say it's the

539
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 1: I R S, or I do it.

540
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 2: I get it from Amazon, saying I like.

541
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 3: What I think because it. People didn't grow up, Susan

542
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 3: with Amazon. They didn't grow up with click here for

543
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 3: your delivery date. You know.

544
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: Oops.

545
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 3: They now have your contacts and they've you know, they've

546
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 3: they've gotten into your bank account.

547
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: I R S. The I R S will never ever

548
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 1: send you a text message.

549
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 3: Either, either does the electric company saying if you don't

550
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 3: pay five hundred dollars right now, they're turning off your power.

551
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 3: And so the thing that we can do PSA is

552
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,439
Speaker 3: say these things over and over.

553
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: But I think it's I believe everything.

554
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 2: Check it out first before you give any money or

555
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 2: your bank account or your social Security number.

556
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 1: Right.

557
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 3: But here's the thing that I think they're victims because

558
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:49,360
Speaker 3: many Golden people are not sophisticated with technology today, and

559
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:53,360
Speaker 3: so they believe it when you know, some creep reaches

560
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,160
Speaker 3: out and says we're going to turn your electricity off

561
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 3: and it's one hundred degrees out, they believe it because

562
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,880
Speaker 3: they can't imagine how somebody would have gotten their number,

563
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:06,439
Speaker 3: because they don't understand technology. And I think that is

564
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 3: if I had to give the single biggest reason that

565
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 3: Goldens are scammed, it's that they don't understand technology. And

566
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 3: AI can I just say, AI is bringing a whole

567
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 3: new you know, because I can capture well good and bad,

568
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 3: but they can capture your voice. Now, so AI could

569
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 3: capture my voice and call you and it would sound

570
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 3: it would be it would be my voice, And that's

571
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:37,880
Speaker 3: going to be a whole new level of deception.

572
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 2: But I do love AI and more Goldens should use

573
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 2: it because your questions. You don't need encyclopedias anymore. I

574
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 2: don't even think the modern day child here and there's

575
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 2: what encyclopedia is.

576
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 1: I use GPT constantly.

577
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 3: Well, it should be Gemini. I'm a Google girl. It

578
00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 3: should be Gemini you're using I don't. I don't use

579
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 3: it because I'm I'm a writer and I don't need

580
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 3: help writing.

581
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 2: But it's not about writing that answers a lot of questions.

582
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 4: So Google, I mean, I just.

583
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 2: Do things like it's like Facebook, going the Instagram, you

584
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 2: know what I mean.

585
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 1: It's like here's your step up. But it's the way

586
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 1: of the future. And you you're right.

587
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 2: Goldens don't trust more modern things because they're not used

588
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 2: to it.

589
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: Lucky, I don't.

590
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 3: I don't think it's that they don't trust. I think

591
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 3: I think they do trust, Susan, that's the problem. They

592
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:36,479
Speaker 3: trust it. They don't understand that that the goodness, the

593
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 3: good parts of AI or technology and technology to use

594
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 3: it can be abused to to scam you out of money.

595
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 3: And so how many times locally, Oh my god, I

596
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 3: hear it all the time on the I get them

597
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 3: all the time on my phone. You know, click here,

598
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 3: and you know what they'll do. They'll copy like it'll

599
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 3: look like Amazon.

600
00:29:58,400 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 1: Uh.

601
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 3: But here's here's here's what I say to people when

602
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 3: you the first way to get a scamp to cite

603
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 3: one is when you get an email and there's no

604
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 3: picture on the on the on the thing, there's no

605
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 3: picture of a person.

606
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,479
Speaker 4: And the email is some bizarre email.

607
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 3: It's not Gmail dot com, it's you know ITBX, it's

608
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 3: a bot and so you know, people, but again, goldens

609
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 3: don't know how to look for that stuff. You and

610
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 3: I do, because.

611
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 2: A lot of times they're doing it by phone. They're

612
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 2: calling them.

613
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 3: Well, you know what the answer to that is, Susan

614
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 3: PSA number five for the day. If you do not

615
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 3: recognize the phone number, do not answer it. Let it

616
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 3: go to voicemail. And then if you have any question,

617
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 3: you call one of your kids, call a younger person,

618
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 3: say I got this call.

619
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 2: Do you know they leave a detailed message like these

620
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 2: scammers I've had, and I'm laughing listening to it.

621
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 1: A couple of times I thought twice.

622
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 3: Like you know what I've done, I've called them back

623
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,800
