Speaker 1 (00:04):
Well, happy new year. Everybody starting off almost the same
way we've done for the past several years. Boots, are
you here, I'm here? Are you sure?
Speaker 2 (00:12):
I'm positive? I just want some paperwork and fun stuff.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
So it's a brand new year, twenty twenty six. Does
it feel like it's a new year? Do you like
when the calendar flips?
Speaker 2 (00:23):
I wrote my first check the other day and not
the date right for the first time. I concentrated the
whole time because I started write a five and I
made it a six.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
You always do that, right, You're always so stuck in
writing that same year for a whole year, the date
of it anyway, and then it flips and you kind
of forget about it. But do you make them a
new Year's resolution? And I'm talking to everybody out there
because it seems like you make them and then right
away you break them.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
I used to, but I'm so busy that I've already
made some resolutions in the last six six months, so
I'm already on track to be where I'm at. I'm gonna,
really I'm gonna been a really good, better mood than
the last year. Once I'm in a long time.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
I think that was your New Year's resolution last year
was just to be nice.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
It was, and I've been very much at last Yeah,
I mean there are certain things. My thing is I
let things build up, and I let them build up,
and when people I feel people are doing me wrong,
and then I finally just snap and I'm just write
them off.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
And so that's like the unhealthy thing to do, because
that's unhealthy for your own health, right, Yeah. Do you
let things go go, go, go go, and all of
a sudden you explode. That's not good for anybody.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
The industry we're in. I've always been in sales, so
I've always been a butt for my whole life and
a butt kisser my whole life. I mean, you may
times I've sold cars to people I couldn't stand, but
just because we don't see eyed eye, I don't want
to not get them into a nice automobile back in
the day.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Let me ask you something, starting off the whole year,
with total transparency and honesty between us, be very honest
with this question. Do you think, out of everybody you meet,
the people in your life, do you think you like
more people or dislike more people.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Like more people? Do you really I always get on
the benefit of doubt. But the minute they art going
down that dark road or they're negative. I can't stand negativity.
I can't stand people in line that cause chaos. I
can't that's I can't stand not the people, but what
people do. Three phrase? How's that? That's a it's a
(02:17):
it's a fine line. They could be a nice old lady,
but they pull up and they do something stupid. I'm like,
oh my gosh, what are you doing. I just patients,
I got that.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
I'm getting to know you so well in the last
several years. I always hear out of your mouth. Oh
I can't stand them. I can't stand that. I get
so mad at them.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
But there's two sides.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
You get so angry at people.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Because he gets so stupid.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
It's like there's sometimes you just gotta let it go.
You know what my husband Randy says all the time.
You can't control what you can't control.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
You can't fix stupid. I agree. I agree with you on.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
That is a good resolution.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
I like the other day I was at the gas
station and this guy was just he pulled up. He
had everybody blocked off. There was only one diesel pump working,
and I'm watching him and then he gets out and
goes and buy cigarettes and pop and lets his truck
sit in front of the only diesel thing.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
And he looked at me and gave me dirty look
on like, give me.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
A dirty gave me a look.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Are you sure you gave I'm staying looking. I'm just
got my arms crossed, like what were we doing? Dude?
And he looked at me and I said, do you
understand that's the only diesel pump right? Well? I know,
I said, well, I hope you enjoy your cigarettes. And
he moved. He's a little short guy. Short people, the
little man disease. I just, dude, move on. It's rude.
Look around your surroundings, be address other people's once and
(03:31):
needs sometimes instead of your own. That's what drives me nuts.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
I can understand that. I just don't know if things
like that follow you a lot more than they do
anyone else. I don't.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
You have to get diesel, you have to get diesel,
But there's one diesel pump, and you get your truck,
and there's this one bone head and you get this.
I get smelling when.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
You're passing a stranger, if you're just walking down a
path or do you just pause and say hi, there
just a total strangers. Do you ever say hi?
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Always? I always? I always hold the door, I always smile.
People want super nice, super nice, the way I was raised.
But when you do something deliberately stupid to inconvenience others,
then have.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
I understand that I agree with you? I guess you
just maybe it happens.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
To you or I'm running a lot more than you.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Than it happens to me. In my world.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
I don't mean you've got a very scheduled life.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
I've got a chaot very scheduled. I wouldn't say that
at all.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
We're at the lake, or at work, or they're three
in these basketball games, or your kids.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
That's so on a whim. My life is on a whim.
I've never chased that sucks, and I've never wanted to
do that though, But that's the life you've chose.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Now Holidays got into sales.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
I've never been that type of person. I never want
to ask I, will you know what? If any of
my friends have to borrow money, I would be the first, Yes, absolutely,
But I would never want to borrow money from someone.
And they say that's the first way and best way
to kill a friendship is to lend or borrow money.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Well that's that I've got rid of some friends that way.
Lend them a thousand dollars, you never see them again.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
But the other thing I wanted to ask you is
it's a big day for you. I I don't have
a twenty nine year old. I have a twenty three
year old and a twenty four year old. But when
you have a child who's almost thirty, does it make
you feel older? Does it make you look back at
your life and think, huh, it's a new year. I
almost have a thirty year old. Do you feel like
life's passing you by? Or no?
Speaker 2 (05:15):
I can't believe she's thirty now, her husband thirty eight.
Well yeah, once she hit twenty nine, it's over. But
she's on a cruise and I've taught my granddaughter and
they were getting ready to board the ship down in
New Orleans.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
And that's a fun place to take off from.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
And she wasn't going to go. Now here's here's the
side of me. My daughter is a cruise expert. She's
been on like twenty five.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Where are they going to this time for her birthday?
Speaker 2 (05:39):
I think they're going No, they're going somewhere towards Venezuela.
Are they really somewhere on the ocean, I don't.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Know, somewhere on the gulf near Venezuela.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
I don't. I don't know. But here's the deal. So
so what I was saying, you know, the only time
I have peace, This is what's funny, is in the
shower my phone. I can't take my phone with me.
I'm in there and I get no. I'm thinking about
my day, like how do I improve my life, how
to improve someone's life, how do I make a tranger's
life better? How to make family of friends life better?
(06:09):
All the little things I do in my head. And
then I'm sitting there and I'm thinking about stuff. And
I remember sitting there and I'm washing my hair on joke,
and I'm yeah in my beard, and I'm thinking about
how Nicky's going to be thirty next year, and I went, wow,
I remember my thirtieth surprise birthday party. I thought I
was one hundred years old when I turned thirty. I
(06:31):
didn't think I was thirty.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Yeah. Everything's relative, right, Yeah, And I can seem so
much bigger and better when we're younger, Like I literally
remember being a sixth grader and looking up at the
eighth graders thinking, oh my gosh, yeah, they're so old,
and then you are like an eighth gird and you're like,
this is nothing, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Then my fiftieth birthday party where all most of our
sponsors came. It was like a networking things to have
a birthday party. But I got to see all of
our great sponsors help us build our show, especially Auto Smarts,
and how thankful I am on those. But then my
daughter's we thirty.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
I remember, but we back up for a second. What
you just said. I want you just to live in
that world for the next year. Just be so thankful
for everybody in your life instead of being ticked off
at the people who tick you off random people. Let
it go and just enjoy the people who have made
you and helped make you and your shows what they are.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
What I didn't like about the holidays do a lot
of crap, and I think it's just fun for us
to Christmas falling on Wednesday and New Year's Eve falling
on Wednesday screwed us up.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
So you didn't even have a day. It was Friday Frinday,
like is it Sunday.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Well, we live on our sponsorship checks. Everybody's off the Unfortunately,
the way America is set up, if if a holiday
falls midweek, you might as well have shut down the
whole week because nobody's working. And then you put on
top of that it's the end of the year. So
the way we've set up vacations, everyone dumps their vacation time.
(07:57):
So for us to get paid, it's been miserable and
for me because I call up and then you become
the squeaky wheel. Hey, is a check ready? Oh? No,
Sally Sue's on vacation.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
I would hate that.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
I could not. Well, she had dates built up and
if she doesn't use them, she don't get them. Why
is that my problem? Why didn't Sally Sue cut the
check before she left?
Speaker 1 (08:16):
So is that why I just now got my November
check in the middle.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
No, I've been backed up, I've been No, I've had
I've just been chasing. Is that it is? No, it's
just and then when I take my own money and
put in on our accounts because we're row thousand. But
and that doesn't complain. But the Wednesday middle of the week,
really people the way the American person is designed to
think on holidays, you have this passive aggressive well it's holidays,
(08:41):
leave me alone.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
I know a lot of it.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
It shouldn't be, but.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Now it shouldn't be. Here everybody gets back on tracking.
Do you know what I saw at two different locations
coming home from church today, gas at one ninety nine.
Now I've seen it at like two o two, two
oh four, but one that I think that is just
a hint of what we can expect for twenty twenty six.
Once this big beautiful bill kicks in and Joe Schmidts
(09:06):
with peak retirement planning will be in with us at Tower.
He's gonna let us know really what we can expect.
This is where no tax on tips kicks in, senior
citizens get a huge discount social Security. It's all in
this big beautiful bill. I think economically speaking, twenty twenty
six is going to be a really big year for
the United States of America. Look at the market, Look
(09:26):
at the stock market. What you know how many record
highs it hit over the past several months. We're on
track right now. So also obviously the big news Madurero's
out for Venezuela and Molly and daycars. Everything that was
going on in Minnesota now is being alleged to have
been happening here in Columbus. Oh, learing centers, learing centers,
(09:48):
you believe that? I mean, how do you misspell?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
You can't blame those people, though, if you could, if
you could come to a country illegally and become a
millionaire by stealing their money, I'd do in a heartbeat.
I the hut, get the goat, and come Nord.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
But once it's uncovered, what's the next step.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
They're not gonna prosecute, and they're not gonna prosecute, They're
not gonna do anything.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
It's all we're gonna find out. We're gonna dig in
a little deeper to that. And if you have opinions
on the Venezuela situation, or the Somalian daycare centers or
anything else that's going on, gas prices. If you have
a new Year's resolution, share it with us at six
one four eight two one nine eight eight six six
one four eight two one nine eight eighty six. And honestly, everybody,
(10:30):
it's going to be back with you at the first
of the year. Happy New Year, all right.
