Speaker 1 (00:02):
Sunday Nighty nine point one, Houston's Best Variety of the
eighties nineties, and Today Day in the Morning and producer
Anthony and the Three Things You Need to Know to
get your Tuesday, September second started well. New laws in Texas,
almost eight hundred of them went into effect yesterday.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
We were busy having Labor Day with our family and friends.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Thank you, so we forgot so today I'm reminding you
the school cell phone band law is in effect, probably
the biggest one. Also in education, they're allowing parents to
use public funds to send kids to private schools. Oh
also property tax relief. That's when we can all get
behind right. Well, while people were soaking up the sun
between Labor Day showers, city crews were busy working getting
(00:44):
rid of some yucky stuff close to the bay in
the Galveston area. Apparently a wastewater facility was having problems.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
They're aware of it and they're working on it.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
And no one got all the numbers for the Powerball
lottery on Monday, one point one billion dollars now climbs
to one point three billion. One of the largest games
in history. The cash option around five hundred million dollars.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Danny zero six. I can't fathom. I think it's eight
eight zeros.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Anyway, it's way beyond our comprehension. Too much money. Weather
today is going to be pretty nice until the rain comes.
We've got a thirty percent chances some showers. We're going
to go up to ninety two. Right now, it's seventy
eight in uptown in Europe. To date, I'm sunny. Tell
me something good brought to us by our friends at
Goodwill Houston. This is incredible, I should say eleven year
(01:38):
old Aubrey is incredible. She's got courage, determination, all while
battling a brain tumor. She loves to cheer. She's all
about making memories with her friends, and last November, she
was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Had surgery to remove
the tumor six weeks of radiation. It didn't stop her
(01:58):
from her schoolwork or training for cheer. Currently, she is
doing chemo every morning. She's going to be doing that
for two years. But she is hoping that her story
might win her the Sports Illustrated Youth Athlete of the
Year with a twenty five thousand dollars prize. Now you
can actually vote for her check it out. It's the
(02:20):
Sports Illustrated Athlete of the Year. You go to Athlete
off Theyear dot org and she is currently fourth place
in her group. Her name is Aubrey and voting ends
on Thursday, so definitely check it out.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
And I just thought this was so cool.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Texas universities have done very well in recent surveys, So
what kind of classes can you take?
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Very interesting, some of them weird.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Here's what the list has come up with, Rice University
Understanding the US through Baseball, ut arguing the end of
the World. That would go under the weird category. Now
listen to this one at U of H Beer appreciation,
all right. Then at Baylor you've got Religion in Sport,
Texas A and M.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
This one would be phenomenal.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Texas barbecue, Yes, you can take a class on Texas barbecue,
Texas Tech, the zombie in media and popular culture, Texas
State from Jay Z to Kendrick Lamar, politics powered identity
in hip hop all right, and then.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
SMU this would be kind of cool. How to build
a time machine.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Yeah, you can always find out and tell me something
good stories up on the iHeartRadio app. Yeah, it's totally free.
Check it out. We've got the podcast there. You can
also make us your first pre set, so that way
it makes it even easier to listen to Sunday ninety
nine point one Sunday ninety nine point one day and
in the morning and producer Anthony, We've got Houston's best
variety of the eighties, nineties and today, and it's called
(03:51):
no Spend September.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
And it's a great idea.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
You're gonna not like me once I bring it up
to you, because then you're gonna feel guilty. It really
is a great eye idea. You spend your money only
on essentials the entire month of September, no frivolous spending.
That means you cut back on your going out to eat.
I was about saying no entertainment, going out to eat,
all that stuff. It's just essentials. Gas to get to work, okay,
(04:17):
food and your refrigerator so you can eat dinner at
home every night. No movies, no nothing. I mean, you
can win tickets from us for free, so you aren't
really spending any money.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
That's that's the good news. That's free ninety nine.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
But it's all to exercise that financial muscle of good habits.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Yeah, which I think is a great idea, honestly, and
I think that that's a good thing to do every
now and then, just to check in with yourself, because
I know, like for Jess and I like we're I'm
I'm super disciplined with money, but very frugal, and she
she is actually two in her own way. Like she's
amazing at finding deals, she's amazing at watching for price histories, money, Anthony,
(04:56):
that's that's that's her logic too. And to be fair,
I mean the stuff that she does in the way
she finangles stuff, she does end up saving money. But
it's one of those like, well, this sale popped up now,
so we should take advantage of it.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
I mean, the holidays are right around the port.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
She's already she's putting out two or three things to
me that that, hey, we need to look at this
for your for your dad, or this for your brother.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
I mean, ho about Labor Day sales yesterday? Hello, they
were amazing? Absolutely, Yeah, So that's her thing.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Now here's the thing, though, this is where it's really good.
Thirty days haf September. So it's just thirty days all right.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
September, and we already September.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Second, yell exactly, so it's not that bad.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Give it a try, see if you can do it.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Last month, and I may have told you this, Anthony,
I got rid of Amazon. Oh the I'm going through
withdrawal pride rather fast than do than get rid of Amazon.
But I got rid of Amazon because my husband asked me,
he goes, do you know how much money you're spent?
Speaker 2 (05:50):
I go, but Bob, we needed.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
All that stuff. We needed all that technically you. I
did it for him, and so far, so good. But
I did tell him last night, could I just borrow
your phone? I do need to get this. So I
didn't ask to get it back. I just did it
on his phone so it's full transparency so he could
see what it has. I needed some leggings. I need it, okay,
(06:12):
and I needed three pairs of them okay, because it
was a necessity.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
But now I'm done, all right, Now I'm done, allright,
No more spay a, no spend.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Marking it down September. SECONDA said could you do it?
Speaker 2 (06:24):
No spend September?
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Are are you naturally like Anthony and super frugal and
smart with your money?
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Seven one thirty two one two.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Five ninety nine one Sunday ninety nine point one day
no with producer Anthony. We've got Houston's best variety of
the eighties nineties and today, remember today is Tuesday, September second,
and we have been talking about no spend September. And
it's good that September only has thirty days. So if
you're struggling like I am, you.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Can do it.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
It's we're only getting essentials in the month of September
to learn some good financial tricks and save some money.
And we've got Alma on the line. Now this is
the month that we buy only essentials. Alma, Are you
good with your money?
Speaker 4 (07:06):
Yes? I am. I got five boys and I teach
them how to get what you need, not what you want.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
That's such a definition what you need versus what you want.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
All much you want, because sometimes they go out they
want to spend money for spassy jeans and pants and
it's not necessary good what is necessary, not what you need,
not what you want. Wow, I trained them twenty three
twenty four. They both just bought their first home because
of the technique Mommy showed them.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Oh that's incredible.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
That is the way ahead of the time. How did
you learn your money ski.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Yeah. Really, I go.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
With my sister, so when they give me a lung,
I saved it for something important like Christmas dankskeeping burgess
for my friends. That's why I learned to budget myself
and my kids always Mom, why are you so budgeting?
I said, because when you get to my age, you
learn the budget.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
That spin almah, my age.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
I think if it's not necessary, well needed, I don't
I don't buy it.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
I really struggle with that my age.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
I still haven't learned how to budget, but there is
hope one day I might learn.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Right, there's what I don't use credit card. I use cash.
If it's finished, I'm going.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Oh there, you're good.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
That's I'm telling you what. She's totally aware of every
cent you spend that.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
No swiping anyway, I'm done.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
That is her motto, no swiping.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
I love that you need to make t shirts no swiping,
no swiping allowed.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
That's that's that's a good thing.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
I like that.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
I really do.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
I couldn't do it, but I like that you with
your sons, and good for your sons. They must be
so proud that they bought their own homes.
Speaker 4 (08:54):

for the next step in life.
