1 00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:07,720 Speaker 1: This year, the penny officially went away, right after two 2 00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:11,959 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty eight glorious years. They went ahead and 3 00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:15,480 Speaker 1: killed it. But now there's something else that might be 4 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:19,119 Speaker 1: ending soon. And Brooke, your mom is not going to 5 00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: like this. It's in the morning, Jake, You're safe, I think, 6 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,120 Speaker 1: but I know my mom's definitely not going to like 7 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 1: it either. 8 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:29,360 Speaker 2: It better not be the shot collar, because this is 9 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 2: the favorite part she loves this show. Everything is downhill 10 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 2: after this for my Mom's sounds right. 11 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,280 Speaker 1: No, but there is a chance that by this time 12 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 1: next year, paper checks will no longer be accepted. 13 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 3: I accidentally found my check book this weekend. 14 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,919 Speaker 2: My mom is like, she's a controller. She doesn't really 15 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 2: use paper checks anymore. I'm the same, you know, did 16 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 2: not underestimate Arlene Fox. 17 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 3: Yes, a youthful eighty years old. 18 00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 4: I love that. 19 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 1: Last year, more than ninety percent of surveyed consumers said 20 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: they would rather use anything else than a paper check 21 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: to pay their bills, although. 22 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 3: Six percent of Americans still do it. 23 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 2: The only reason I have used my checkbook in the 24 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 2: last six months is just for the routing information on 25 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 2: the bottom. Yeah you know what I mean? 26 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:18,400 Speaker 3: Check Yeah, yeah, yeah. 27 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: It's a lot easier than looking it up on your phone. 28 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: But the government's already stopped sending out paper checks for 29 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: federal benefits. It's all done digitally now. H Plus, check 30 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: fraud has gone way up in recent years. Brook, I'm 31 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 1: sure you that you don't know anything about that. 32 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 2: I am not smart enough financially to commit fraud. 33 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a reason I had to order a new 34 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,960 Speaker 1: checkbook and I can't remember something for something, and I'm like, 35 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 1: who uses check I've. 36 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 5: Literally never wrote a check book about life. 37 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. 38 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: Well, it is possible paper checks are officially on their 39 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: way out, but I know the ninety and overcrowd listening 40 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: is saying not so fast. I like writing my checks 41 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: at Albertson's. 42 00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 2: Are they listening? Can they hear this? 43 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: Meanwhile, less than one percent of the population electrocutes themselves 44 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 1: with a dog shot dollar, But that isn't going away 45 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: anytime soon. So Jake Penny for your thoughts or actually 46 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:12,799 Speaker 1: sorry for you thought. 47 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, nothing, I'll give you my thoughts anyway, because today 48 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,239 Speaker 4: is National Christmas Card Day. Did you know the very 49 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 4: first one came out over one hundred and eighty years 50 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 4: ago in London featured a drawing of a family and 51 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 4: a dinner table. 52 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 3: With the words Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. 53 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 3: It's a simple but effective message. 54 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 2: But now can you imagine being the first recipient like 55 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 2: what is this? 56 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 3: Yeah? These days, that's not good enough. 57 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 4: Modern Christmas cards can be wacky and humorous as well 58 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,959 Speaker 4: as being sweet and sentimental, like, for example, I saw 59 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 4: one that featured a group of Homeowners Association carollers standing 60 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 4: outside a house, singing, we wish you would paint your 61 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 4: house beige.
