Speaker 1 (00:02):
For what would you talk about on your on your
podcast first morning show, Let's talk. We both jumped the gun. No, no, no, no.
Why does it always come down to money in this
(00:23):
room every Some of the biggest squabbles and the biggest
disagreements have to do with money because because we want it,
we don't want to give it away. But oh, we
went over petty, petty little things that really you know,
they're not petty, not petty. No idea, what's going world?
I get it this time, you get at that time
next time, and we'll be even. Okay. So so I'm
(00:45):
the opposite of like so you guys call me sometimes
just say I'm frugal whatever. I borrowed it. Sometimes, well
sometimes I'm not here, so I don't know what you're saying.
I borrowed a dollar from your ritz to get soda
because we have machine. I don't have any any money.
I had like a twenty dollar bill and she goes, oh, here,
take a dollar. So I said I'll pay you back
to oh, oh, don't be silly. But I'm somebody that
(01:06):
really wants to pay it back. Like I came in next.
I gave her a dollar. Just you need to pay
me back. And I'm annoyed by that because she barely
makes enough money to live, she works a second job.
She shouldn't be so frivolous with a dollar bill. He
goes down the road. You're gonna buy her something, you
know me, I'm not so plus if I lend someone
a dollar, I want it back, So I give back
the dollar. All right. Can we transition from that talk
(01:29):
about money and how cheap we are, because I know
Brodie could go for eighteen minutes. I could, but I
think it's not cheap. It's cheap. All right, here's how
cheap I am. Let's start with it. So, bed, bath,
and beyond. You go there, and it's a given automatic
you get off one item, right automatic, Like you don't
even need the coupon. You can just exactly like that's
(01:49):
the standard discount on any item. So my girlfriend went
and bought salt and pepper shakers dollar rating off. She
didn't use the coupon. So I'm like, why didn't you
use the coupon? She goes, it's a whatever, two dollars,
so it's a dollar eighty tax on this? Yeah, why
didn't you use it? She goes, whatever, it's who cares.
(02:11):
It's two dollars. I took that receip marry a girl
like that. I took that receipt and back to bed
Beth and beyond. And so I want my dollar eighty
for you. It's the principle of it. It's not you,
but the principle. Let's think about it, though. If you
couldn't get something for cheaper, wouldn't you get it for cheaper?
But don't you think that your time is worth more
(02:31):
than a dollar eighty than afternoon? Didn't take the subway
page to say, and I got my dollar't driven ten
miles to save a penny a gallon on desk head's up?
Yeah seriously, Yeah, you know what I did last time
I was a bed bath. I didn't have a coupon.
My wife has a stack, and I didn't take the
stack of coupons. So I got there and I'm like,
(02:52):
I gotta buy a garbage pail. I didn't bring the
damn coupon. So some of those people online will go, honey,
would you lead an extra coupon? I have a coupon
for you. You You get people online your extra coupons. Nobody,
I'm like, wow, I can't believe I forgot my coupon,
hoping that the lady with the little chopping bag would
have like extra. Nope, nothing, you know what's who's grazy?
Still talking? So I don't know. You came to an end. No, never, never, never.
(03:14):
So I went on Lawe and sometimes you get like
retail me not they have the coupon's nothing nothing for
bed bath. So I had a sign up for bed
Bath and Beyond's emails to get my first time. So
I used an email address I haven't used like fifteen
years that I'm never gonna check my emails to get
coupon so I could buy the garbage pail to save
like four dollars. It took me forty minutes of searching
(03:35):
the web looking for a coupon, but you know what,
I saved four dollars diminishing returns for me. Never can
you've done You've done Bertie and seen and seen perfect.
I just wanted to just throw this out there. You
know who's amazing about coupons, Macy's. If you don't have
the coupon, they will they have a whole cash register
pulle and they'll be like I got you, and they
(03:56):
scan it. They scan it off every time. All you
gotta do is ask for and they you know who's
just like that And I love them, but love them.
Calls calls will stand the coupon. I go here, you
know what, because as long as you know what the
coupon is, you go. I know there's a coupon. It's
on with the girl on the bike. I didn't bring up.
Oh honey, we got that, and they'll scan it. Coles
is the best, the best. I love them. They have
(04:20):
the best sales. I don't care that they probably overcharge
so that they can then give you a sale. I
don't care. Everything's on sale all the time, not only
that they stacked their discounts. So my mom is a
Cole's card member, so she'll get once a month or
once every other month or something like reward, and then
she'll take that in addition to that they're already giving her.
And then they give you calls cast by the way,
(04:43):
not a sponsor. Not a sponsor. They should be, yeah,
they should be. Now yeah, now you love them. You
don't use a Mike as buttons back there so you
can direct a joke at scary all right. I don't
use coupons. I think it honestly, No. It to me.
(05:03):
It feels like when you don't see like seamless. Hey
your food off today and that makes you want to
buy food. Nope, Wow, that must be nice to be driven.
I'm driven by that one the way you say you're
not rich and I go because you don't use scoopons
right exactly. But I'm also the guy that if I
see a gas station that has three cent uh more
expensive gas, I'll go to it because at the end
of the day, it's not gonna take anything out of
(05:23):
my pocket. We all have jobs here. So if you
want to save three cents by going to a gas station,
I call you cheap on that gallon? Yes? And what
you have? How big you're how big your car gallons? Yes?
Like from no, it's like seventy eight cents by time
my big est okay now times that over twenty years. Yes,
I would say, yes, you're saving money. Come, okay. Here's
what I think of it as eighty cents in this
(05:45):
job is three soldas from the machine. That's a good point.
That's how you have to qualify. Or it's the eighty
cents like you give a homeless guy when he says
do you have any money? I save money on gas.
Here's eighty cents. What about change your life splitting cabs
and then saving money? Why I had a prior problem.
I need your everyone's opinion on this, and you guys
you can tweet us and give us your opinion on
this as well. David on the score party. Um, I
(06:07):
was in a cab last night with a guy and
his girlfriend. Right. The guy says, hey, man, uh, we're
all going to the same place. You want to put
a cab? Yeah, sure, no problem. So we go in
and I happen to have the seat by the credit
card machine. So I was like, all right, I'll do it,
and he says, I'll venue, I'll venmo you the difference.
Look up venmo. Don't ask what's what that means? So
(06:28):
uh So we get to get there and it was
like with the tip it was like fourteen dollars. So um,
he says, all right, man, i'll venue, I'll vendmo you
seven dollars. So I said, no, no, no, you'll venmo me.
You'll venmo me like nine. Because there's three people in
the cab. He was making it like us and me
like I'm sorry, you're not a couple where you get
(06:51):
to pay your half and I pay the other half.
I'm not paying seven. That's fourteen divided by three, your bitch,
that's that's like five and five. You'll me nine that
I agree with. That's that's not fair, right, I mean
it's the same thing as if you split in uber
or something. You can split fair with three other people. Right.
He was making it like, well, I'm it's me and
my girlfriend. Is us in a cab? Now you were
(07:13):
going to take a cab, two cabs? It's one cab, okay,
but what about Okay, So if I'm out of dinner
with somebody with people, and bill comes to a hundred dollars,
and there's four of us, and there's three single people,
two single people and me in a couple, the bills
twenty five dollars each, and many people there. There's four people,
it's a hundred bucks. So I should pay fifty because right,
(07:35):
it's a couple. It's me, Robin. Yes, you the number
of the people in the group that you're paying for
each their own dollars, So it should apply the same way. No,
it doesn't apply. Bethany's right, but you're actually having four
orders of food. This is a situation where the cab
was gonna cause fourteen dollars. Either way, I could have
put twelve clowns in the car that would have said
(07:55):
it would have been fourteen dollars. My point is not, well,
you had a cabra you had. The point is the
three of us had a cab ride. We all evenly
had the cab ride. If you if you have, if
you okay your your analogy would be if you bought
a steak for a table and five people ate the steak,
You're like, do we have to all chip in? Or
is it a couple of chips in? The cab ride
is a different situation, and of course both going to
(08:16):
the same place. All went to the same place. Yeah,
but if you're gonna pay, if you've introduced the topic
of splitting, then now you are splitting. So it means
you're splitting between everyone. That is a thing that you're doing.
If you don't want to, like, if you don't want
to pay an even amount and amount that you're supposed
to be paying, don't out of the cab. Right. I
was like, y'all put the cab three people. I'm paying
(08:38):
the third of the case. Like I'll give you a half. No, no,
no you will not. First of all, you should be
a show off and funny you a girl, and pay
the whole thing. Your cheap beast. Why wouldn't you pay half?
Though you pay seven, he pay seven. That's the end
of the day. She got a free ride. Why am
I paying? They still would have paid fourteen bucks. And
once once they got to the garden last night, you
would have paid fourteen bucks if you took the cab
went to the garden. You took the cab. You saw
(09:00):
two people going to the garden. He was coming home
from the garden. You you saw two people going to
the same place, and you said that would be a
cheaper ride, so I will get in that. Actually, they
suggested we split the cab, and I said, all right, yeah,
let's put the cab with three adults. It wasn't like
he had his kids. They're still gonna pay four teen bucks.
You would have paid four teen bucks. So he passed seven.
You paid se Now I paid four fifty, right, especially
(09:21):
because yes, because he introduced the topic, right, all right,
how was she on his lap? No? Okay, all right,
well then she definitely needs to pay for that. Seat.
I was a little squished to have to say I'm
not cheap gas pennies, money around, money bags. If you
are in the same cab four teen bucks goes from
(09:42):
point A to point B, you're paying four teen bucks,
no matter how many people. If did she get a
free ride, there is no free ride. She got a
free ride. He paid half and I paid half. He's
paying for her as well. If you actually split four
teen by two Brody and him. But that's what you do.
She he's paying, he's paying. It's a couple. He started
(10:02):
paying as a couple. If three people are in a cab,
let's say he wasn't banging her, we would all pay
like five dollars each. Right, So he's banging her, he's
got to pay her five. He's covering her five. She
would have paid five, five and five. So if you're
gonna bang har pay her five. But you don't get
to bang hard and I have to pay her. I'm
not getting a handy out of it. The court agrees
(10:22):
he is not getting a handy out of it, right,
thank you agrees with this is why no handy but
bucks for handy. I'm just trying to say, you simplify it,
you know, because I could do math by three. Guess
what she and he are two separate people. It's like
when my mom got married to my dad, they refused
to light the unity candle because she was like, I'm
(10:44):
not becoming a one person. I'm still myself marrying another person.
We are still two separate people, which means that hey,
we're not lighting a unity candle and be we are
both paying for cabs as two separate people, two people.
You're still pinching pennies at this point. People. If we
were in a sure they would charge more because she'd
weigh more and it would keep the You have to
pull three people on his bike, right, three people people,
(11:05):
It's not a couple and brody. Three people. I'm gonna
sure something at me. I'm gonna I'm gonna pack pass judgment.
You want to get angry listening to this podcast, Nate
has a topic that's really going to pist. Garrett won't
characteruse he's rich. Oh are we talking about? Okay? Yeah,
I know he's cheaper than I. I am cheaper, al right.
(11:26):
So when you have seamless and I know you get seamless,
which is food delivery to your apartment, in your house Postmates,
or it's just like delivery. So I have this thing
where the guy is bringing the same amount of food
to me no matter how much I pay for it.
So if I go to this restaurant I get General
So's chicken and it costs fifteen dollars, I'm gonna tip
them two bucks. If I go to this other restaurant
(11:46):
and I get filet mignon and a big potato and
it's forty, I'm still going to tip them two dollars
because it's the same amount of food, it's the same bag,
it's the same ride he's coming from, probably the approximately
same disc tense right, same one bag bag, two bags.
It's not like he had a massive steamer trunk on
his bag, but for a filet. But when you're paying
(12:08):
for tipping, but food though you're at a restaurant, this
guy's delivering it, right, He's not going to the kitchen,
he's not carrying a tray with nine dishes. He's not
getting drinks for five people. When you're when you're in,
when you're in a restaurant and you the bill comes,
you always tip on the food and liquor, right, Okay,
so when you tip for delivery, there's there's that little
(12:30):
slide thing where you could choose ten percent, So ten
percent of forty and we know how to do math.
Point is a waitress. A waitress when the food is
more expensive and a restaurant the bill is higher. The
waitress is handling six people, she's going to get drinks
from the bar, she's getting sodas, she's getting desserts. Catch up,
I mean asking how you're doing if your napkins. This
(12:51):
guy's making one trip at one bag. He doesn't know
what's in the bag. You want more from your seamless guy,
You don't. You don't pay the guy right, No, I
don't hihim two bucks no matter what. The guy doesn't know.
But if the guy came in, setting it down and
then took his food out doesn't know what this guy
the way Seamless works or any of these companies. It
(13:14):
wasn't like this guy knows he works at that restaurant.
You're ordering seventy five dollars worth of food. He picks
up a bag from a restaurant he doesn't work at it,
and brings it to you, regardless. They could be lobsters
in that bag that was seventy five dollars or just
packages a white rice. The problem is that he knows
what the bill was doesn't matter. He knows his job
is to bring a bag. Dude. If if the bill
was dollars and I was delivering it to somebody and
(13:35):
I got a two dollars tip, might be pissed because, Okay,
and if he worked for the restaurant, I would say
that's a valid argument. But he doesn't work for the restaurant.
He works. He works for the third party. The service
go from point delivery driver's period. May's theory is, let's
say a guy drives for Uber. Should he be able
(13:56):
to charge rich people more money? That's what you're doing.
You're charging rich food more tip. It's the same dry,
But should rich people in the same Uber have to
pay more? I'm generous when it comes to tipping. Maybe,
I mean, maybe I'll look because you're single. Maybe I'm wrong, Okay, Well, yeah,
it's a point of this podcast. We don't know who's
right and wrong, but we're debating. Oh no, I know
who's written wrong. Yeah, thanks, Yeah, I have sided with Bethany.
(14:18):
Please mass judgment. My judgment is the people's side was
nate food. The food weight is not significantly different between
a steak and a burger, and the dude is a
third party external higher and his job is simply to
go from point A to point be guys do the
same thing at a bar. Don't you going to drink
(14:38):
at the bar beer versus of course cocktail. No I.
I always tip based on the dollar amount of the
total if they different food delivery, because it's he it's
he's not preparing the food, he's not serving the food.
He's just bringing the food over. And it's the same
You take a cap off a beer bottle, you're getting
fifty cents to a dollar. What do morning show
