(01:32):
Elkowitz has noticed a trend among someof her clients after a big shopping hall,
tiding it from their partners. It'scalled stealth shopping. Okay, all
right. I think my wife doesa little stealth shopping because we have a
rule in our house that we're notgonna buy any more Christmas decorations on December
(01:53):
twenty eighth for eighty percent off,Bellio, I think you do that stealth
shopping. I think after Christmas youbuy Christmas crap for next year at eighty
percent off. Well, who wouldn't. That's a great deal. And I'm
sure Angel does it as well.Angel, do you do it? I
always do it, Timmy, Ilove it. You know what Timmy?
(02:15):
I do? I do. Ihave a client who once put her new
shoes on, left the old shoesin her car. I have people who
put dragle in her bags over thingsso that nobody knows that it's something new.
Evan even does it herself sometimes despitebuying things with their own money.
I'll just sort of like, bringin the house, put it somewhere in
(02:36):
the closet, come back down atnight, grab it. Sixty that she
buys it with her own money andthen hides it from herself. I'll just
sort of like, bring in thehouse, put it somewhere in the closet,
come back down at night, grabit. Sixty four percent of those
living with a significant other hid purchasesfrom their partners in the last year.
(02:59):
Have you hid anything from John Billie? I have you have? What kind
of things you had? You know, like yeah, yeah, yeah,
clothes like shoes. Okay, allright, I get that, but it's
hard to hide things when I'm atwork and all these packages show up.
He's on to me, So Ihad to stop with it, all right,
(03:22):
Okay. The top reason I wasgoing to say, I know people
here that get their packages delivered towork. Oh is that right? Yeah?
I know a woman who doesn't workhere anymore who sent herself a dozen
roses on Valentine's Day. And thepurpose for that is what for others to
(03:46):
be to show everybody in the officeyou got a great boyfriend or husband when
you don't. No, that's odd, that's not good. That's odd.
That's odd behavior, you know,because a dozen roses on Valentine's they are
like eighty ninety hundred bucks. Areyou gonna spend that money just to be
a people think that's right? Whocares? Bellio? That's why I love
(04:12):
your attitude. You're the who caresqueen of the world. I don't think
that's true, but I think itis true. When else when if I
said who cares? Besides this?No? No, I think when people
attack you or say nasty things aboutyou online, do let me read some
of them? I guess no.Do you read a couple here? Please
don't. But I think you havea who cares attitude? You know.
(04:36):
Maybe it's just a defense mechanism.Maybe well, okay, then that's not
good, and let's talk about that. No, let's not. Let's move
on. Okay. The top reasonsavoiding judgment or criticism and impulse buying,
guilt. You know what I hearda lot as well. There are very
wealthy women who live in Beverly Hillsand the surrounding area, and they can't
(04:57):
get enough cash from their bank accountswithout their husband raising an eyebrow. So
what they do is they go tohigh end stores Sacks Sacks, Fifth Avenue,
Bullocks Broadway, if those stores stillexist, and they buy expensive purses,
and they take that purse right toa pawn shop, and the pawn
(05:20):
shop on a seven thousand dollars pursewill give you three thousand dollars or twenty
five hundred bucks, and then theyhave cash, and so it shows up
on the credit card that you gota new purse. But what doesn't show
up is that purse went right tothe pawn shop and you have three thousand
dollars to gamble with or buy smokesor coke or whatever you're doing. That's
(05:41):
what's going on in Beverly Hills.There is a lot of guilt and shame
and embarrassment about how you're spending becausemaybe it doesn't align with your partner's values,
your partner's habits, and so ratherthan having a conversation about it,
they feel the need to be secretiveabout it, to hide it. Experts
say, financial secrets snowball. You'vebecome comfortable hiding these little purchases, and
(06:03):
now you're gonna be comfortable hiding maybebigger purchases or bigger financial issues. To
start the conversation, first get transparentabout costs. Sometimes it's just educating your
partner on what things cost in theareas that you are interested in spending that
You had a similar situation, isthat right? You mean with the Ford
(06:25):

It was an open sore. Onevery shore different that's a different boat.
Yeah, you know that They theymost cruising companies will point to that
song and that show for the startof their success and their continued success.
Isn't that wild? I believe it? I do too. My husband worked
(10:41):
for Princess cruises for many years,and they were very proud that they had
the original love boat. Yes,yes, you know, my dad hated
cruising. He always thought you'd getC six when everyone on a cruise.
And he didn't even do the loveboat because he thought that they did at
See Oh no, they didn't knowthey did at Fox and Off Pico.
(11:03):
That's right. Oh what a missedopportunity. Yeah, it was horrible.
I loved having lunch with him todayand he told me a great story.
Charlie Fox again, Robbie Fox oneof my best bodies. I grew up.
I've known it's been seventh grade.And we would come home late drunk,
right ninth grade, tenth grade whenwe probably shouldn't have been. And
(11:26):
this Charlie Fox, his dad workedall night long. We could never get
a break when we came home,always up greeting us. And we came
home, we went to his house. One night, I dropped Robbie Fox
off. I went home, andRobbie goes into his house. He was

Fox, said, hey, Robbie, would you do now? He goes,
Oh, we went bowling. Itwas all bowling, must fun.

this bowling shoes and he still didn'trealize when he got home he still had
his bowling shoes on the rentals.The rentals. Ah, that was great,
good time to grow up. Butwhat a talented man to write all
those beautiful songs and still be oneof the most humble guys in the world.
To sit with us at islands Islandsand eat that food and tell us
(12:56):
these beautiful old stories. Man,that was a highlight of my life.
I was laughing harder today that Ihad in twenty years. You're listening to
Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFIAM six forty. All right, the
Orange County Fair happening every single year. This is no exception. And Michelle
Richards, the CEO, the ownerof the entire fairgrounds, the general manager,
(13:20):
the Big Cheese, is on withus. Michelle, how are you?
I'm good. Has it been ayear? Tim? I can't believe
it. I cannot believe it.I've heard some from some people that went
this year already that the weather's beenperfect, and they say it's the cleanest
it's ever been, and that sayssomething because it's always super clean there.
(13:41):
We are having a beautiful fair,and you're right. I really feel for
the people inland that are experiencing thatheat wave. But it's been beautiful in
coast to mesa every day, greatocean breeze. We're off to a great
start. And I also heard,I mean, we talked about this last
year, but maybe we can alsoremind people, because you know, people
(14:03):
tune in and tune out. Iheard that to have a booth there,
that some booths and some locations arepassed down from generation to generation. Is
that true? Well, they are. We never guarantee that, but I'll
tell you there have been concessionaires andmerchants here for years and years. It's
a family tradition for sure. Yeah. I love that. I love the
(14:24):
feel of it. I like thefact that you have animals there. The
kids always love the animals. Therides are great. You can buy that
front of the line pass. Ithink it's good up until I don't know,
five, six, seven o'clock,and then they don't honor that anymore
because it gets too crowded. Butthat's a great way to see the fair.
The food is always great. Pleasetell me that Pink's Hot Dogs is
back this year. They are They'realways here, yeah, yeah, I
(14:46):
know they're one of your favorites.Yeah. And you know, we are
still controlling our attendance every good.So there is a limit to the number
of people that can you know,come into the fair every year, so
you got to get your ticket aheadof time online. But what that does
is it creates a great guest experience. It's not as crowded, the lines
(15:09):
are shorter, and there's just somuch fun to enjoy. That's great.
And what is the what are thebig headliners this year for the concerts?
Okay, Stray Cats, we'll behere later this month. Yes, two
nights, two nights of Stray catscool in the game. Next Wednesday is
coming. We've got the English Beattonight, four Nights of Revolution if you

Amphitheater, Alice Cooper is coming.Anybody remember Alice? Yeah? Isn't that
awesome? And then some shows afterthe fair too. We'll have Trevor Noah
on closing night, and later inSeptember, John Fogerty and Bonnie Rait will
(15:54):
be here. It's a really goodconcert series this year. You know,
it's always a nice place to getaway from the news and politics. When
you go there, there's nobody bangingon you to register to vote for this
guy or that gal or whatever.You just get the hell away. It's
not allowed. That kind of talkis not allowed at the LP Care.
(16:14):
Neither are calories. No calories allowedat the That's cool. What does it
cost? I know it probably varies, but what if you know family four
wants to go? What does itstart at? For kids? So on
Wednesdays and Thursdays it's thirteen dollars foradults, nine dollars for kids six to
twelve years old and seniors sixty andover. And then Friday, Saturday,
(16:37):
and Sunday. Still nine dollars forseniors and kids, but fifteen dollars for
adults. That is a sweet deal. That's lower than it was last year.
Well, it's the same as itwas last year, just steams lower
because everything everything out there is expensive. Yeah, that's right. Every time
I go there, I feel likea child. I feel like I'm,
(16:59):
you know, nine again walking aroundwith the lights and the noise and the
smell of the food, and it'sjust a great place to go. And
it's really tough to see it allin one day. You sort of have
to spend a week in there.I agree. I agree. You got

It was an open sore. Onevery shore different that's a different boat.
Yeah, you know that They theymost cruising companies will point to that
song and that show for the startof their success and their continued success.
Isn't that wild? I believe it? I do too. My husband worked
(10:41):
for Princess cruises for many years,and they were very proud that they had
the original love boat. Yes,yes, you know, my dad hated
cruising. He always thought you'd getC six when everyone on a cruise.
And he didn't even do the loveboat because he thought that they did at
See Oh no, they didn't knowthey did at Fox and Off Pico.
(11:03):
That's right. Oh what a missedopportunity. Yeah, it was horrible.
I loved having lunch with him todayand he told me a great story.
Charlie Fox again, Robbie Fox oneof my best bodies. I grew up.
I've known it's been seventh grade.And we would come home late drunk,
right ninth grade, tenth grade whenwe probably shouldn't have been. And
(11:26):
this Charlie Fox, his dad workedall night long. We could never get
a break when we came home,always up greeting us. And we came
home, we went to his house. One night, I dropped Robbie Fox
off. I went home, andRobbie goes into his house. He was

this bowling shoes and he still didn'trealize when he got home he still had
his bowling shoes on the rentals.The rentals. Ah, that was great,
good time to grow up. Butwhat a talented man to write all
those beautiful songs and still be oneof the most humble guys in the world.
To sit with us at islands Islandsand eat that food and tell us
(12:56):
these beautiful old stories. Man,that was a highlight of my life.
I was laughing harder today that Ihad in twenty years. You're listening to
Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFIAM six forty. All right, the
Orange County Fair happening every single year. This is no exception. And Michelle
Richards, the CEO, the ownerof the entire fairgrounds, the general manager,
(13:20):
the Big Cheese, is on withus. Michelle, how are you?
I'm good. Has it been ayear? Tim? I can't believe
it. I cannot believe it.I've heard some from some people that went
this year already that the weather's beenperfect, and they say it's the cleanest
it's ever been, and that sayssomething because it's always super clean there.
(13:41):
We are having a beautiful fair,and you're right. I really feel for
the people inland that are experiencing thatheat wave. But it's been beautiful in
coast to mesa every day, greatocean breeze. We're off to a great
start. And I also heard,I mean, we talked about this last
year, but maybe we can alsoremind people, because you know, people
(14:03):
tune in and tune out. Iheard that to have a booth there,
that some booths and some locations arepassed down from generation to generation. Is
that true? Well, they are. We never guarantee that, but I'll
tell you there have been concessionaires andmerchants here for years and years. It's
a family tradition for sure. Yeah. I love that. I love the
(14:24):
feel of it. I like thefact that you have animals there. The
kids always love the animals. Therides are great. You can buy that
front of the line pass. Ithink it's good up until I don't know,
five, six, seven o'clock,and then they don't honor that anymore
because it gets too crowded. Butthat's a great way to see the fair.
The food is always great. Pleasetell me that Pink's Hot Dogs is
back this year. They are They'realways here, yeah, yeah, I
(14:46):
know they're one of your favorites.Yeah. And you know, we are
still controlling our attendance every good.So there is a limit to the number
of people that can you know,come into the fair every year, so
you got to get your ticket aheadof time online. But what that does
is it creates a great guest experience. It's not as crowded, the lines
(15:09):
are shorter, and there's just somuch fun to enjoy. That's great.
And what is the what are thebig headliners this year for the concerts?
Okay, Stray Cats, we'll behere later this month. Yes, two
nights, two nights of Stray catscool in the game. Next Wednesday is
coming. We've got the English Beattonight, four Nights of Revolution if you

Amphitheater, Alice Cooper is coming.Anybody remember Alice? Yeah? Isn't that
awesome? And then some shows afterthe fair too. We'll have Trevor Noah
on closing night, and later inSeptember, John Fogerty and Bonnie Rait will
(15:54):
be here. It's a really goodconcert series this year. You know,
it's always a nice place to getaway from the news and politics. When
you go there, there's nobody bangingon you to register to vote for this
guy or that gal or whatever.You just get the hell away. It's
not allowed. That kind of talkis not allowed at the LP Care.
(16:14):
Neither are calories. No calories allowedat the That's cool. What does it
cost? I know it probably varies, but what if you know family four
wants to go? What does itstart at? For kids? So on
Wednesdays and Thursdays it's thirteen dollars foradults, nine dollars for kids six to
twelve years old and seniors sixty andover. And then Friday, Saturday,
(16:37):
and Sunday. Still nine dollars forseniors and kids, but fifteen dollars for
adults. That is a sweet deal. That's lower than it was last year.
Well, it's the same as itwas last year, just steams lower
because everything everything out there is expensive. Yeah, that's right. Every time
I go there, I feel likea child. I feel like I'm,
(16:59):
you know, nine again walking aroundwith the lights and the noise and the
smell of the food, and it'sjust a great place to go. And

great view and it's all air conditionYeah, and I love the fact they
