good afternoon, how are you. I'm well, first time I
think we've ever done this now. I started to show
with two people, No started maybe, yeah, because when I
looked up, I'm like, hey, there's only two bockses. Yeah,
two people's two peeps here.

Speaker 4 (01:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:42):

very cool. Yes, and we have Scott Brown coming a
little bit later for its only money, and I'm glad
you give me the add up on that.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
What you do, man, when you get out of the
loop for a while, just kind of forget it the
just how your caan go dually.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
Yeah, yeah, I watched that. That was damn near tear jerking.
That's an amazing setup. And the guy who started that
whole thing too, that story of that dude is like bananas.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
Saw that a few weeks ago on sixty minutes and
I was like, some of the guy, Yeah, that's crazy.
It's wonderful when you see people doing the right thing
and going so far to help others. But then there's
the other side of that coin is the fact that
you know, with all the wealth that we have as
a country, that people are going so many people are

(02:33):
going without out there.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
For yeah example, and the you can see it right
now Jim Corper Live dot com. It's about twelve and
a half minutes longer. So and it's a RAM is random.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
A remote area medical Yeah, and basically it started out.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
As this gentleman was doing some stuff. But you'll see
what happens about it. It's say, set up medical camps
throughout the US for people who can't afford medical care,
or they do have insurancemen can't afford the deductibles, so
they go and seek medical help in places of that nature.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Yeah, that's a kicker, right. Oh, I have insurance, Oh
I can't afford to use it. Yeah, that I have
to tell you of all the things.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
You know, I was just honestly enough talking to Amy
Sweezy yesterday during the breaks about this very thing.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
She and her husband are both self employed.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
Yes, so that means, you know, self employed, you have
to self insure. You don't have a company like we
do here to lean on to provide you some insurance coverage.
And I know a lot of people out there probably
in that same boat, and.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
A lot at which went up at the beginning of
this year. That's when they were talking about the subsidies
for the you know, Affordable Care Act where being able
to kind of offset that. So a lot of people
there out of pocket went up greatly in twenty twenty sex. Yeah,
sometimes tripling. We and talking to people about that. You know,
it's so funny.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
Just this past week, you know, my wife and I
were discussing something of this nature as well, because before
and I don't know how new this is by the way, Jack,
to be honest with you, maybe you can help me
out with this, don't I'm not. I don't remember our
insurance ever doing the whole it's.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
Either you or that or them type of scenario.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
So, you know, my wife works for a pretty good
sized company as well, and she has insurance provided to
her or can get insurance through her company.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
Right. So, basically, like a lot of.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
People in Orlando who have a spouse that works at
one space and another spouse or in a spouse that
works on another space. You know, you guys maybe can
choose which plan you think fits your family better. If
it's just the two of you, maybe this plan works better.
If you have three or four kids, maybe this plan
works better.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Right.

Speaker 3 (04:32):
Well, it's not like that for us anymore. And I
don't know how many people are in the same bucket
that we're in. But our new policy makes us, or
makes our employment, makes us our spouses choose one or
the other. Like my spouse, if she chooses to come on,
our insurance.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
Actually costs more, right correct, Yeah, I remember that Like
a couple of years ago at Kicking In, if you
had to identify if your spouse had the option right
to have insurance elsewhere, and then if you weren't taking it,
they kind of penalize you if they or they do
they pair's.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
No kind of they do. They penalize you for it.
So my wife has insurance. Our insurance is better, but
her dental package was better. So what we used to
do is we would get like the medical package for us,
and then we would get her dental and envision package
now and then we would kind of work that out
and worked out great for our family.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
We do not have that option.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
Anymore anymore, and so we actually have to pay more
because my wife is on my insurance. And I'm sure
a lot of people in Orlando and throughout the surrounding
areas that can hear our voices probably have.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
To deal with the same thing.

Speaker 3 (05:35):
Yeah, if you're lucky enough to have that option, I guess.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
And it is right because for some people without insurance
or have to kind of fend for themselves. The fact
that you actually have an option to two that two
opportunities to choose from. Could you be on her plan?
I do.

Speaker 3 (05:51):
I think it's the same scenario because I think we
went through that. Or either my deductible plan is better
than hers and that's why we chose the plan that
came through iHeart.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
I believe that's what it was.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
That our plan was just better and more comprehensive than
the plan offered by her company, which is a smaller company.
He's still a big company, but of course not like
the size of iHeartMedia, you know, the largest broadcasting company
in the US.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
So yeah, they look for ways to encourage you to
not be on the plan because you know, they're out
of pocket as well. We're what you call self insured. Yes,
the iHeart plan they funded themselves, and many corporations kind
of do that where they just absorbed the cost of it.
But you keeping your healthcare low benefits the whole plan,

(06:38):
right right, right.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
And I think the Rosen family or the Rosen companies
did the same thing. I think their insurance is also
internal for the company. No, they don't go outside that.
So of course Parrot throws it to his credit.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
That was that was not a thing done because he
had to do it. It was more of a thing because
he wanted to do it. He wanted to make sure that,
you know, if they needed to see a doctor, I
think they had a full time doctor, you know, as
part of their plan where you could go. So if
you needed if you work for him, and you needed
to go to the doctor, you would go to that guy,
really and it would be yeah, it covered. I woulder.

Speaker 3 (07:12):
You know, what percentage of the audience do you think
Jack right now has no health insurance?

Speaker 2 (07:17):
Let's put that up for the question of today. What
do you think?

Speaker 5 (07:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (07:20):
What do you think though?

Speaker 3 (07:20):
Before we do this so we can make that pre prediction.
How many people in the audience do you believe right
now live with no health insurance? Thirty thirty three, about
one out of every yeah, yeah, yeah, about a third.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
Yeah, I think terrifyingly. I think that probably is the case.

Speaker 3 (07:37):
You know, And part of the story that Jack picked
for what you Do, we'll get to that around four
o'clock this afternoon, was how people have to pick and
choose what they're going to have to have medical insurance.
You know, either are we on to downsize our house
maybe selling one or our cars, maybe kind of fudge
daycare a little bit, try to figure out a way
around that. Of course, no vacations or anything like that

(07:58):
as you're trying to afford.

Speaker 2 (07:59):
It, and then can you add the unexpected thing, just
like you know, Spirit Airlines is dealing with right fuel
costs or more. If you're paying more for gasoline, well,
you already have a budget, a razor thin margins on
your budget.

Speaker 4 (08:13):
You know.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
If you have to now add double what or at
least you know, add twenty five percent more to what
you're paying for fuel, that's got to come from something. Yeah, man,
it's it is harrowing out there.

Speaker 3 (08:25):
I mean again, talking to any between the between the
breaks or between the segment yesterday, you know, she was
just kind of let me know, you know, how how
that hits. And then I just got my property insurance
and property taxes the other day. That was also a hoot.
We started doing research around the nation about like and
our older houses that we've lived in and how it's changed.
That's also very interesting how that happens. And in Florida, buddy,

(08:48):
let me tell you, do not google other states insurance
rates if you live here in Florida. If you just
got your insurance rates, do not do that to yourself.
We did it to ourselves this weekend, unless.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
You want to plan on a movie. But so was
it your So yeah, I just got my tax statement
as well. But did you get your insurance terns of
your homeowner's insurances because that's the thing that is really
hurting people.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
Yeah, that one was kind of incredible. My wife loosened up.
Do you know what the average I guess for the
homeowners insurance policy is here in US? Or the taxes
were the other one too. Property taxes were ridiculous. Insurance
of what the average rate or the average yearly increase, yeah,
yearly cost for homeowners insurance in Central Florida or in
Florida in general, I would say percentage. Well, it's just

(09:34):
a total number. I think it's oh okay, So the
average cost I would say thirty five hundred dollars.

Speaker 3 (09:39):
Yeah, I think it was between thirty five and five
like that. And then, of course, property taxes were like bananas.
I think this is one of the most expensive states
in America to live in because I think property taxes
are average between like wait, what's seven and nine in
the state of Florida. Now in that range? Yeah, so crazy. Well,
you are affectoring your property insurance and your taxes. I mean,

(09:59):
that's a more gage payment for my first home, like
my first home with it wasn't even close. Matter of fact,
I could have bought three of those homes for the
money that we're spending on property insurance and taxes these days.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
Simply crazy, it is. And when I see, I mean,
I wonder I scratched my head at like how how
do people do it? Because I don't know I see those.
I'm just I know what I paid for my first home.
I know what my mortgage was and where I am now. Unfortunately,
I've been in this home for twenty seven years. Yeah,
and just the market now, it's that's a big commitment.

(10:33):
Yeah it is.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
I mean, you know, people coming here to try to
buy a house, it's way different, you know. And the
funny thing is it's actually changed this little plan that
my family and I've had, you know, we move into
the houses, we rebuilding them, sell them. You know, we
don't know what's gonna happen with this one. Like you know,
we moved in. We were thought this was gonna be
like the one. We're like, okay, we're gonna you know,
this is the last one. And man, I don't even
know like when we're gonna be able to sell this
house because I don't know when the market's gonna be

(10:55):
good enough to justify what we've done, uh, and to
move into another spot. Can we make enough money on
this house to do what we'd planned after this this cell?

Speaker 2 (11:05):
You know. I mean it's because property values are so
ridiculous in this state right now. Even though they're down
a little bit, they're still high. I think I just
saw where it's becoming a buyer's market. Yeah, yeah, is
that the cave? That's what I think?

Speaker 3 (11:15):
Yeah, all right four seven nine one six one four
one text us at seven seven zero three one. Very
very very very dangerous fire conditions right now? Oh boy,
story out of you Matilla which is near me out
there in Eustace. Contractor they're clearing some property for a
new homeowner and did not get permits to burn, and
that came back to haunt them. We'll talk about it

(11:36):
a little bit later. Alan Osmond died yesterday. I do
not expect many people to know who Alan Osmond is,
but if you are a certain age, you know the
Osmond family for sure, famously Donnie and Marie in the
seventies and eighties here in America, where like the the
Barbie and Kendall of good wholesome television, and that family

(11:58):
has been synonymous with American entertain from any many years,
and I kind of wonder if there's ever gonna be
another like family like that. There used to be family
entertainment dynasties in this nation, and I just don't think
that thing exists anymore. I don't think there are like
you know, I just don't believe it does. I don't
think there are many families like passing down the baton
so that their daughters and sons continue on in the business.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
I hate to break it to you, but the Partish
family was not a real family too, Okay, thanks appreciate
four seven nine win six one o four to one
text seven seven zero three one. Although after our recent cruise,
I did think that with all my daughters singing. They
all did Carrie karaoke, three of them, and my wife
is singing Around'm like, we could live on this shit.

(12:42):
You could. It would be the parties of family, and
I would be Reuben kin Kai. Yeah. You just be
the Bradshaws. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, the Bradshaws. I'd just
be the manager exactly. That's it. You just keep fools
away from the stage, you help pick the set. Let's
to move on.

Speaker 3 (12:54):
Michael Jackson biopic is dropping soon. There's a new show.
Interested in that, I am, even though I kind of
know a lot of it because I kind of lived
through Michael Jackson's life, you know, but I don't know
some of the stuff.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
So I'm interested in seeing that.

Speaker 3 (13:07):
There's some controversy though, because of his past of whether
or not this thing should have ever been made.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
So we'll talk about that a little bit later.

Speaker 3 (13:13):
Lake County substitute teacher freaks completely out, and do you
have a friend fund.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
I'll tell you all about that little bit later. Jack

Speaker 2 (14:24):
Welcome back.

Speaker 3 (14:24):
I'm Jim Jacket is right over there and he has
your news. Let's get it.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
It's time for JCS news. Wow, this guy gotta put
his name on everything.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
It's in my contracted here's the news on the Jim
Colber Show.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
Well, a couple of things we talked about at the
top of the show are coming up in the news today.
One specifically the weather, and it's a fire weather watch
that continues. While it is an absolutely sublime day. If
you are just enjoying a sunshine, a nice little breeze,
it's cooler at it's absolutely beautiful. So also that cooler,

(15:01):
crisper air, it's drier than normal with that breeze makes
it an extreme fire danger. That breezy, dry and hot.
Now that's through Tuesday through yeah, through Tuesday, that's today,
but then it's going to start creeping up towards the
end of the week into the nineties again. But right
now we're just seeing that, you know, this lovely lower eighty. Also,

(15:24):
in addition to the fire danger you mentioned, ustis also
we talked about it yesterday in northern Florida. It's that
rit current risk remains high. Something else we discussed yesterday
all along the Atlantic beaches through today, with seas running
about four to seven feet. Good news is with the
temperatures warming back up into the upper eighties by Thursday

(15:46):
and could flirt with the low nineties by Sunday. And
it's like April and Florida, you get all floer seasons
in one month.

Speaker 3 (15:53):
Right right, right, Yeah, it's crazy right now. The weather's
very bipolar. And we talked about the yesterday.

Speaker 2 (15:59):
We talked about those brush fires up in you know,
Putnam just north of us that forced Amtrak to stop
their trains from going through a little more on that
that the Sanford Auto train riders they were left stranded
and while we were talking about them stopping that train,
they were stuck on that train four hours damn hours.

(16:21):
I mean, not the worst thing ever. With beautiful vistas
of Putnam and Clay County. Yeah, the train ninety eight,
the Silver Medior Jim was stopped just north of the
land with two hundred and thirty two passengers on it.
Amtrak provided snack packs and promised pizza when the train
arrived in Orlando. Hey, and bus service between Miami and
Jacksonville was the backup plan and riders will get full refunds.

(16:45):
But still, when you're planning a trip, you're not planning
on sitting on the train for twenty four hours in
the land.

Speaker 3 (16:50):
Hey, if somebody starts a fire by being irresponsible and
it causes something like that, does the train have any actionable,
like any legal action on that. I mean, if you
think about it, money that kind of cost them and
the people involved in the train.

Speaker 2 (17:03):
Sure, but I don't know anyone willing to start a fire.
I doubt they have the kind of pockets needed to
cover what that costs would be. And coincidentally, one of
those brush fires they believe started from a train taking
a turn. The sparks from the train with the dry
conditions started one of those brushfires.

Speaker 3 (17:22):
That's why it was so close to the trirony. The
reason I ask is because the case out in you
Matilla right now. They say it was caused by a
contractor that did not get the proper burn permits.

Speaker 4 (17:31):
Yea.

Speaker 3 (17:31):
And I would think in that scenario, let's say, obviously
we know development's going crazy in this state, that if
one of these giant developers went up there instead of
kind of doing what there's bos to do sidestep that
and did not get a burn permit and it caused
a fire, they shut a train down for a day
or two, I wonder if that's actionable.

Speaker 2 (17:47):
That an interesting story. He may not have got a permit.
Let's hope he got his insurance. Yeah, yeah, yeah, And
I don't believe that was a fire that interfered with
the train, but still, yeah, the you Matilla one that
they saw that on Fox thirty five, one hundred and
twenty acres. Yeah. Speaking of which, Amy k people texting
about it. She will be here in about a half
an hour, so stay tuned for that. In the meantime,

(18:09):
you want to look up tonight because tonight is the
night for the Learid meteor shower peaking over Central Florida.
Tonight's one of the best nights of the year to
see the shooting stars from your backyard right here in
the center of this beautiful sunshine state of ours. The
lurid meteor shower peaks between the late hours uh tonight

(18:32):
and the pre dawn hours of tomorrow, April twenty second,
also Earth Day, also my wife's birthday. That is a reminder,
jack pick there, you pick up the way it is.

Speaker 3 (18:43):
By the way, medeor showers are awesome when they we
would when we lived out in Geneva, there was like
no lightwash at all, so we could go out on
the back patio and just watch those things like crazy.
It was like a theater. It really is amazing if
you can go to an area that's nice and dark
and check it out. I know it's in a weird
time of the day, but man, is it wild.

Speaker 2 (18:59):
When do you think it's the first time they documented
this learid meteor? Oh my god, sixteen fifty. You know
it's You might be off by a couple thousand years,
but I'm still going to say it's close. Because the
old this is the oldest recorded meteor shower in human history,
first documented by Chinese astronomers in six eighty seven BC,

(19:22):
only missed it by one thousand. Yeah, it was about
twenty two hundred. Yeah, he went sixteen A. Yeah, he's
just a millenniy off. Yeah, but it can produce up
to ten to one hundred fireballs per hour per at
the peak, and some of them are crazy.

Speaker 3 (19:37):
We saw when we were in Geneva and it looks
so fake. It looked like the sun was falling. And
they if you get a good one, it'll last a
good maybe two and a half to four seconds as
it streaks, and man, they are you want to feel small.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
Check it out. So the moon sets tonight around two
a m. And that will give you a darker sky,
which will help you in seeing the meteors. So it said,
we're supposed to have clear sky tonight. So very cool.
Look up, keep looking up. Okay, so talked about it
in the teas. But Florida something Florida cannot The Florida

(20:10):
legislature cannot hit the low hanging curve. Okay, that is
according to Governor on Desentus. All right, because that's what
he calls a hanging Curveball is the ban for first
cousin marriage that they still have failed to pass. But
isn't that wrapped up into another package that or did
they pull that out? So it was, and now they're

(20:30):
working on it separately.

Speaker 3 (20:31):
And yeah, because when I read that story, originally I
was like, oh my god, here we go. We are
Florida and like crazy and the entire country. But then
when you look at it, you're like, well, this is
wrapped up in another part of a package. And they
only kind of isolated that area to make Florida look
real crappy again.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
Correct, But now they with the special sessions, there's an
opportunity to fix this. And but the governor is publicly
shaming the state legislature for failing the past his ban
on first cousin marriages. He called it a hanging curveball,
which meaning easy to hit, easy to hit right, get
it out of there, yeah, and declaring we need to
do that. Florida remains one of about how many states

(21:08):
where marrying your first cousin is perfectly legal. Sixteen sixteen.
The provision was supposed to change back on July first,
or this July first, but that band died because it
was buried inside a giant Department of Health bill that
couldn't get passed for unrelated reasons. So basically it's the

(21:29):
sec and the Ohio DeSantis has a special legislative session
open right now. He has the power to add the
cousin marriage band to the call. A special session was
opened April twentieth, primarily for redistricting and budget work that
they failed to finish, which is really their only job. Yeah,
which is amazing, the one thing they're supposed to do.

(21:52):
The guy who proposed a buil State Rep. Dean Black
said he's the one who added the marriage amendment. He
summed it up saying, there are plenty of people here
you can find to be your lifelong partner without looking
to your first cousin.

Speaker 3 (22:05):
Hey, man, easier to find, though, he has to admit,
way easier to find.

Speaker 2 (22:09):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. The pool's way smaller. Yeah yeah. The
date nights at family reunions.

Speaker 3 (22:14):
Hey, I mean, look, listen, you had a heads up
just because of familiarity.

Speaker 2 (22:18):
So we talked about the whether it's a buyer's market,
and it might be heading in that direction for people
looking for a home. As Orlando home prices slide about
three point seven percent, So if you've been waiting for
the right time in Central Florida, experts say the market
is shifting in your favor. Heading into suburb with the

(22:39):
median home sale price in the Orlando Cimi Sanford metro
area sitting in about three hundred and seventy nine thousand
to three hundred and eighty five k as of March. Oh,
that's really good. Below four hundred thousand.

Speaker 8 (22:50):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
Down, that's awesome. It's down three point seven percent from
a year ago. Good. Yep. Homes are sitting on the
market for about forty two days before pending. Active inventory
climbing too, roughly about seventy four hundred homes. Yeah. Good.
And I think the rates have dropped the last two
or three weeks. I mean, I'm not saying it's a ton,
but I think they've come down a little bit too.
The average thirty year fixed is ease to about six

(23:13):
point three percent. Okay, yeah, yeah, So there you go.
Very nice. More good news. And this is from Orange County.
Let me find it because I was when I saw this.
I actually also saw this on Fox thirty five today
and it's uh here it is. Orange County just wiped
out five hundred and fifty nine million dollars in medical debt. Really,

(23:35):
who did that or how just the county did it?
The County did it where they pull up money from.
So it came from two places. And this is gonna
help three hundred and forty five thousand people in Orange County.
They've eliminated this, this giant chunk of medical debt. It
includes forty three million dollars more for forty two thousand people. Wait, wait,

(23:57):
including forty three million more for forty two thousand people.
Announced on Monday. This is farna's largest medical debt relief
program in state history. Made it it made possible. This
was a partnership with a nonprofit undue medical debt and
the Federal American Rescue Plans Fund. They had some leftover
money from the American Rescue Plan and they wanted to

(24:20):
put it towards easing the medical debt on people in
their community. And the thing is, you didn't need to
apply for it. They just look at who. They went
to the medical facilities, they determined who had medical debt,
and they just paid it off. And it was they
got it. It was one dollar in cash paid off
one hundred dollars of medical debt. Wow.

Speaker 3 (24:40):
So and you said there was three hundred thousand people, Yeah,
that's like a quarter of the county. Yeah, yeah, one
point five to three million people in Orange County and
three hundred and forty five thousand people get relieved.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
That's a lot. That's some pretty cool news. Incredible, absolutely,
oh jim something. So that's prices going in one way,
they're going another. And you with the rising gas prices,
you sometimes you get surprised or you forget at where
those costs are gonna creep into your budget. And with
Mother's Day approaching, the delivery of flowers, oh no, yeah,

(25:14):
oh no, never even thought about that. Unbelievable.

Speaker 3 (25:17):
And you know, obviously that's the biggest flower day of
the country is Mother's Day. I think that more flowers
sold on Mother's Day than any other day, even Valentine's
I believe. Yeah, so anything delivery, right, and that any
delivery one of those things where it's like, oh, they're
gonna tack on that fuel charge, so plannarily shop around
and you know, maybe maybe it's a good excuse to

(25:41):
pay a visit to your mind. Are flowers actually still
I mean, I know they are still a thing. But
my wife, who used to love getting flowers, has kind
of soured on the notion of flowers, and some of
my daughters, Like I've talked to them, they don't really
look at flowers as a thing anymore. Like I don't
know why they just did, you know, I guess maybe
just a change, a generational change. But I used to
send my wife a bouquet of flowers, like at least

(26:02):
once or twice a year, and I'd spend some money
on them. I want them to look nice. She has
a certain kind of flowers she looks that she loves.
But I did when I said the last one. She
brought it home and she sat it on the counter,
and after six days it was gone. She owes that
money right there, that's gone. Like I would have much
rather had or I much rather experienced a nice dinner
or something. But that way, that doesn't have any value
to me anymore. She vocalized that to you. She told

(26:24):
me that you're done with flowers. Done with flowers, You're
done with She doesn't want to do And that's so funny.
I wonder if that's like a thing that's happening, because
I mean, this obviously doesn't.

Speaker 2 (26:32):
This is not a correlation of that. But I was
just gonna bringing that up.

Speaker 3 (26:35):
Yeah, just out of all these years we've been together
twenty two years and she just last year said, don't
buy me flowers anymore.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
It seems like a waste of money. Yeah, my wife
was never big on it. I mean she appreciated it,
but you like, because whenever we would talk about what's
your wife's favorite flower, I'm like, damn, I don't know.
My my wife really didn't have a favorite flower when
I asked her. Yeahah, But now I can't do it
because and every time we get flowers we put it out,
the cats destroy it. Oh real cats ee them. Oh no,

(27:04):
I wen't have bodies.

Speaker 3 (27:05):
Well we don't have you know, we don't have a cat,
so we don't really experience that we're casting cats sitting.
But I mean not in a normal life where I
would experience that. My wife like, yeah, put of flowers
and see what that cat does?

Speaker 2 (27:18):
And how much?

Speaker 3 (27:19):
When did they become so expensive? Do you know how
much a good bouquet of flowers is now? I think
it starts at a hundred bucks, no delivery, nothing fancy.

Speaker 2 (27:28):
And it's not just the delivery from the florists to
your home, which is going up. It's also how they
get the flowers. They have to pay for delivery, for
the flower so fuel effects getting the flowers to the floorists, yeah,
as well a trying to stomp on no flora's business
or anything.

Speaker 3 (27:43):
But man, I'm just telling you my wife has just
kind of come to that conclusion in her life a
little bit later in her life, or she's like, look,
it doesn't have the same value to me anymore.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
Don't do it anymore. I'm no problem, all right, Jim.
Finally our final story. You remember the viral video of
it with security camp footage of a bear destroying the
inside of a luxury car. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, and
then they determine it's a person in a bear costume. Yeah,
and it was insurance fraud, right, uh huh. So three

(28:11):
California residents were finally sentenced this week after being convicted
of wearing a bear costume to damage the luxury vehicles.
As part of this insurance fraud scheme, the trio deliberately
damaged high end cars while one of them was dressed
as a bear. They'll never figure this out, prosecutors, saying

(28:32):
I studied their movements for months. The scheme involved filing
fraudulent insurance claims on the vehicles that they damaged. Themselves,
all three convicted and sentenced to three go ahead, three
years in prisons. No, no, one hundred and eighty days. Okay, alright,
Happy year a man that sills six months? Yeah yeah,
yeah plus restitution, I'm sure, yeah that that are a

(28:55):
few weeks on Knucklehead Island. Yeah, that'll do as well.
That's your news, all right?

Speaker 3 (28:58):
Four seven nine six one text seven seven zero three one.
Don't forget your three o'clock keyword is rich Urich. Do
you have a few minutes to get over to the
real radio dot.

Speaker 2 (29:07):
Of him and send that away for your chance at
one thousand dollars back in a second more than bill.

Speaker 9 (29:23):
Hey, guess I hope it gets it them well. So,
as you know, I own one business, so I have
to pay for insurance out of pocket. I was on
the ACA, but guess what, it went up three to
four times so I couldn't afford it anymore, so I
dropped it.

Speaker 2 (29:35):
Last year in March, I.

Speaker 9 (29:36):
Needed surgery and that cost me because I didn't have insurance.

Speaker 2 (29:40):
Good thing is that the hospital eliminated that bill.

Speaker 9 (29:43):
But guess what, I need another surgery and I cannot
afford to do it, So I don't know how the
system works.

Speaker 2 (29:50):
Thanks buy see you buddy. What's going on?

Speaker 10 (29:56):
How do how do you?

Speaker 11 (29:57):
How do you?

Speaker 12 (29:57):
Cobert Crew?

Speaker 11 (29:59):
As far where is the health insurance thing goes on?
I do not have health insurance. I have not had
it in years, and as of right now, I'm going
through some major major health issues. So I've gone to
the hospital countless times. Those are bills I'm just straight
out not paying. So at this point in my life,
I just got to decide whether or not to die
or not because that seems to be cheaper. Well, have

(30:19):
a good day later.

Speaker 2 (30:21):
See you buddy.

Speaker 3 (30:22):
All right four seven nine one text us seven seven
zero three one.

Speaker 2 (30:27):
Welcome back. I'm Jim Jack is right over there.

Speaker 3 (30:29):
Amy Kulf that will be joining us at the top
of the hour, shall be here atill six. Scott Brown
will join us a little bit later today.

Speaker 2 (30:34):
For it's only money's we'll do what you do. That's
dow it for when Amy gets here. Indeed some cool
prizes also, but when we do trivia. Yeah, did you
write trivia today? I did write trivia today? Nice funny
you should ask.

Speaker 3 (30:48):
We were talking about the flower thing man, that thing
caught fire on the texting service. What's a what's a
lego flower? I've never even heard of the lego flower.
Like four or five people mentioned, hey, get her lego flowers.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
I don't even know what they we're talking about. So
I've seen this, and I believe that saw the BJ's
because I like to just roll them the aisles there.
And it's basically it's a flower, like a bouquet of flower,
but it's made out of legos. But you put it together. Oh,
you build it yourself like you would you know, a
tie fighter, you know, our next swing from Star Wars
or yeah I have both of those, by the way,

(31:19):
all right, yeah, but you know, but instead it's a
legal thing, kitt and you put it together. When you're done,
you have a flower. Therefore, it's something that's permanent that
you just have to remember to dust off every couple
of months.

Speaker 3 (31:31):
It's funny because a lot of people were in that
same boat. They're like, look, man, my, I don't know
if it's because younger generations think environmentally it's better. A
lot of these are harvested on farms to begin with.
In South America. Columbia, I believe actually is one of
the largest exporters of flowers in the world, so we
get them from there. Roses, I guess still the number one,

(31:51):
but I guess bouquets that are themed are still very popular.
But man, I believe and interesting it's somebody said, well
the trader Joe's flower wall is fine, but wouldn't you
agree that the flower that you are, the flower choice
that you make is very important, because isn't it more
than just getting the flower? Like a lot of people
are like, well, you know, most women are cool with anything,

(32:13):
just get them some flowers. Well, I would say some
people are cool with that. But then some people, on
those one or two.

Speaker 2 (32:20):
Occasions a year that you're gonna get flowers, want something
kind of special, right and in the special flower world
that starts at a hundred bucks for something that's gonna
last six days. I don't disagree, And believe me, I
think my reputation speaks for itself when it comes to
how I spend money. Jack's picking him out of the medians.

Speaker 4 (32:39):
No.

Speaker 2 (32:39):
I actually I take advantage of the the costco the
wholes where they have a bouquet and it's a nice bouquet,
it's you know, it's twenty bucks. They do a good
drob come home you know, I clip the ends, I
throw the powder in with the water in the vase
and boom, I put it on display. It's beautiful. Does
it mean less that it comes from BJ's? Does it
mean less if it comes from seven eleven? Does it

(33:00):
mean less if it comes from Drader Joe's.

Speaker 3 (33:02):
Do you have to get it from a Floris for
it to mean the full flower thing?

Speaker 2 (33:07):
I think at it depends on how materialistic of a
woman that you married. Ah, I think it's the thought, right,
and you know what supposed to be. I know, my
sister sent me a gift, right. It came in the
mail yesterday, and I'm like, she sent me a gift
for my birthday, right, And it's and I would think

(33:28):
of even before I open and I go, it's just
it's regardless of what it is, it's nice that you know,
she's like, that's right, I'm gonna send my brother a
gift every year. She takes the time, so, you know,
find a shirt or two. The only new shirts I've
had over the past thirty years I've come for my
sister and my birthday gift. Is this the loaded one? Yeah?

Speaker 12 (33:46):
It is?

Speaker 2 (33:48):
So I gotta you know, yeah, Well, that's what I'm
asking for.

Speaker 3 (33:51):
I'm asking because of your expectation, not the same scenario
we're dealing with.

Speaker 2 (33:56):
You threw the woman dart a second ago. I'm going
to find out if you have the same dark No,
I was, Yeah, I just I think it's sweet that
she she thinks of me and she takes the time
to wrap a gift and mail it to me for
my birthday, even though it was late. I don't I
don't know all that against her. Yeah, but you mentioned it.
That's fine. I'm hoping they fit. Yeah, yeah, it got large. Yeah,

(34:17):
well that's not on her. It can fit yeah. Yeah,
But doesn't that come into play, Like you have a
sister that she and her husband have done quite well
for themselves up there and up there in the northeast. Yeah,
when she's yeah, she's a natural. No where she lives Memphis? Yeah,
outside of Memphis. Okay. When her gift comes in, is
it different than when the other gifts come in for
the sisters that maybe haven't had as much uh a fortune? Right?

Speaker 13 (34:41):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (34:42):
No, because you don't expect anything more from her, because
you know she can afford more. What No, you would
be the rarity there? The other ones don't send anything.
So therefore that's how I know, Yeah, we're together. If
we're together, then it's something. But for that it's always
it's not something I needed to get you a gift.

(35:02):
I got you a gift, right, it's something that I
was thinking about you. This one, you know, it was
Yankee this or something. This was specifically. I saw that
and said, that's jack. You know, all my sisters are
actually really good in that, this guy said. This guy says,
I get my wife flower and the other ingredients and say,
bake yourself a cake. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (35:22):
Yeah, Lego flowers are fun. My daughters seventeen and loves them.
She has seven to ten of them. And somebody asked
me if I was using a local florist or ordering online.

Speaker 2 (35:33):
I always use a local florist.

Speaker 3 (35:35):
Yeah, always, a matter of fact, the same exact florists,
regardless of where we've lived. For the last fifteen years,
I've used the same one every single time. And they
are fantastic. I will tell you it is. But they
are unbelievably good at what they do. But the and
the last bouquet that I got for her, the one

(35:56):
she told me stop doing this, was from them, and
and I have tried to order some from some online
flower companies before for other people in my life, and
it just didn't pan out the way I liked it did.
The product weren't The products weren't great, the delivery time
wasn't great.

Speaker 2 (36:11):
It was not a good experience. The I've had mixed
experiences with the with the online stuff. Sometimes it's great.
Sometimes it's like, uh, and you still have to assemble it, right, So.

Speaker 3 (36:23):
Yeah, you do uh, which I don't care for. But
there is how many creativity like that.

Speaker 2 (36:27):
There's a market difference between the bouquet I'm going to
get for you know, by my costco flowers and put
them in a vase, and then the that one hundred
plus dollar you know arrangement that you get in the
local floors. I mean, there's no comparison between the two.

Speaker 5 (36:42):
Ye.

Speaker 2 (36:42):
Yeah, that's why I'm the card for mine. I'll always
write it's the thought that cow.

Speaker 3 (36:47):
You know, my wife loves the smell of fresh flowers.
I don't know who doesn't love the smell of fresh flowers.
People who are allergic to them. Yeah, but I gotta
plug in for that two dollars nine cents nice That
is not one hundred and sixty bucks.

Speaker 2 (36:58):
Nice lord, all right.

Speaker 3 (37:00):
Four O seven nine one six one text does seven
to seven zero three one Amy calf out with us
next plus, got a fresh keywork for you coming up
right now?

Speaker 13 (37:12):
How's it o'hanah, I's got to chime in on this
flower thing. You know, people might not think about publics
and saving money, but you know they really got it
going on when it comes to flowers. It seems like
twice a month they offer a dozen roses for twelve
ninety nine what sometimes bogo, so take advantage of that.

Speaker 1 (37:31):
Keep an eye on.

Speaker 13 (37:32):
Because they usually got some pretty good deals in the
floral section. That's my go to bails me out all
the time.

Speaker 2 (37:40):
I'm with you, Jim.

Speaker 12 (37:41):
I always use a local florest and like you, I
always use the same local florests.

Speaker 14 (37:46):
They're consistent, they're awesome, They're really fancy.

Speaker 2 (37:50):
Their name's Publi.

Speaker 15 (37:53):
Hey, JC and Posse talk about the expense of flowers.
Try an edible arrangement.

Speaker 2 (37:59):
Oh no.

Speaker 15 (38:00):
If you'll notice, most of their shops are conveniently located
next to a bank because the average cost is a
second mortgage. He threw upperside down, y'all.

Speaker 2 (38:10):
Thanks brother, appreciate that.

Speaker 3 (38:11):
Yet we used to for a couple of people in
the building that used to endorse edible arrangements, and they
would come through and of course that's your chocolate covered
strawberries and pineapples and stuff, and they were just they
would arrange it where it would look like flowers, and
then you figured out how much that thing was and yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (38:29):
It's a nice idea. Yeah, yeah, great idea. Welcome back
to the Jim Cover Show, Real Radio one four point one. Cash.
By the way, is your four o'clock weord that's c
a s h. Slide over to Real Radio out of
him and send that away for your chance at one

Speaker 2 (38:45):
I'm Jim Amy Kaufe with us to time ejab. Yeah,

Speaker 10 (38:53):
In fact, my husband came home from work today and
guess what he had. He had a bogo from the
publics has the bogo dozen roses right now?

Speaker 2 (39:03):
Wow? Yeah? And he brought you a dozen roses.

Speaker 10 (39:07):
Two I got too because it's buy one get one free.

Speaker 2 (39:09):
Both were for you.

Speaker 5 (39:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (39:10):
I mean, well it's funny, I said what are the
flowers for? He goes, he goes to, you know, decorate
the house and for you. I was like, oh, thanks,
it's so romantic.

Speaker 2 (39:21):
Your birthday was two weeks ago.

Speaker 10 (39:23):
Yeah, I mean it's nice.

Speaker 16 (39:26):
Right, What are you doing?

Speaker 2 (39:27):
My god almighty woman, what are you doing?

Speaker 10 (39:29):
Okay? But can I just I'm gonna make a little
complaint and I don't think he's listening.

Speaker 2 (39:33):
That's fine, all right.

Speaker 10 (39:34):
So for my birthday, which was a couple of weeks ago,
thank you. I got flowers that And I don't know
if you know this, but some of the places that
do flowers they spray paint them like weird colors.

Speaker 2 (39:46):
Oh I didn't know that.

Speaker 10 (39:47):
So, like daisies aren't blue, but they will spray paint
them blue, and then they'll put them all together in
a bouquet. And then if you put them in a vase,
like the die from the spray paint like like drips
down and then it turns the water blue. Anyway, So
so those were and I was I asked him. I
was like, and I had to do it in a
really nice, tactful way. I was like, did you notice

(40:08):
that these are like these blue ones? They're like that's
not a natural flower color. He's like, what do you mean.
I'm like, that's that's spray paint. He's like, they spray
paint the flowers. I was like, yeah, yeah, so but
how do you politely tell someone like I love flowers
but not the spray paint.

Speaker 17 (40:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (40:22):
Yeah, I think you do it like you do it
like I think you got ripped off, the kind of thing.
You don't do it like, hey, I'm upset. You do
it like, hey, I think you got ripped off. Here
they sold you spray painted flowers. You should go fight
somebody right now.

Speaker 2 (40:34):
My beaff.

Speaker 7 (45:01):
Uh whatever hand day he was at six seven.

Speaker 10 (49:38):
His common.

Speaker 5 (50:02):
Want to.

Speaker 3 (51:06):
Music ay good take, and that's it. You never see

(52:28):
the person, you know. It's just like like the Truman Show.
It just talked from the clouds to let you know
what's going on.

Speaker 2 (52:33):
Then off you go.

Speaker 10 (52:34):
That's because we didn't let you in the control. They
were like, don't let him in there. They're terrified not
that room. So what's the what's the news business like?

Speaker 2 (52:43):
These days? What the hell?

Speaker 7 (52:44):
Gosh?

Speaker 10 (52:44):
It's wild, you know you guys, listen, job security is
the news business because there's never a shortage of things
to talk about. We are every day we are bombarded
with new stories and so yeah, so and you know,
and that's the also the blessed and I guess maybe
the curse a little bit of local news is that
we cover everything. We cover world news, we cover space travel,

(53:07):
we cover local news, we cover you know, everything, and
so we have it.

Speaker 13 (53:12):
You know.

Speaker 10 (53:13):
You're literally and you come in the morning and and
this is me in the morning, and I'm like texting producers,
Oh add this, Oh what about this? Oh the new
Glenn rocket. Oh a satellite didn't get okay, make sure
you throw that in, you know. And we're just constantly,
you know, even as anchors were you know, the onus
is on us to make sure that the show is
good and that it's up to date, and that we
we have, you know, stories that that maybe you haven't

(53:34):
heard yet. Right, You're waking up in the morning, and
the first thing you do when I and I don't you, guys,
I've been like this since nine to eleven. The very
first thing I do when I wake up in the
morning is check the news, like the second I wake up.
And I didn't used to be like that, even though
I consider myself a news junkie. I didn't used to
be like that until nine to eleven, and it just
quite literally flipped me on my head. And it's because

(53:54):
that morning I didn't have the news on and I
got a call from the station. I wasn't working that day,
I was off and I got a call from the
station saying, and we need you to come in. And
I was like, why, what's going on? And they were like,
Mark's under attack, yeah, and I was And then of
course immediately I'm like, oh my gosh, it could be
ten minutes. And I turned on the TV and I'm like, what,
you know, what's going on?

Speaker 2 (54:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (54:15):
But I think ever since that moment, I just it's
just this. It doesn't matter what DA it is.

Speaker 7 (54:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (54:21):
Unfortunately, it's so funny. We have kind of do the
same thing. Of course, we're not a TV new station.
We're on a new station per se, but we do
cover a lot of stuff that happens, you know, throughout
the city. I mean, you know, whether it be that
crazy substitute teacher story that hit today or anything else.
The fires in you Matilla because a contractor didn't get
the right permit and started a little fire that turned
into a one hundred and twenty eight care fire. We

(54:42):
try to do that as well. We try to cover
a lot of the entertainment stuff. And I think that's
where you guys really shine, because I think your team
over there is really good at bringing stuff like that
to life. But I dream of the day that I
can throw I always use this as a that I
just throw my laptop and my phone into the river.

Speaker 2 (55:00):
Just just go to the river and just stand on
the top of Saint John's River Bridge there and just
outside of Sandford and throw everything that keeps me connected
to the world into the river.

Speaker 3 (55:09):
Because it's so cumbersome to have to do that. And
I and again, I'm We're not asking for sympathy by
any means.

Speaker 2 (55:14):
It's just the nature of your job. But it's the
same way. I wake up and the first thing I
see is my my phone full of notifications from myriad
news stations, you know, and I just have to scroll
through it. You know what am I looking at first? Today?
I mean, I'm you know, I'm not. I haven't been
up thirty seconds and I'm already ripping through my uh
through my notifications, looking to see what what is intriguing.

(55:36):
I consciously try to avoid that being the first thing
they're supposed to just to be thirty minutes before you
do any of that. Yeah, and you know, and I
don't like doing it before. Wordle however, are word we
got today? We gotta wordal connection. Do you wordle with
anybody else? Do you have a group?

Speaker 5 (55:55):
No?

Speaker 10 (55:55):
I used to wordle with my kid and then he
got bored with it, and I word all alone.

Speaker 2 (55:58):
Same my kids alone. Thank you, No wordle alone.

Speaker 10 (56:05):
If you guys want to wordle with me, I'll word
with you.

Speaker 2 (56:07):
We're gonna put you on our world group. By the way,
they want to thank Amy for fixing the YouTube. Body
out very nice. You killed it.

Speaker 10 (56:13):
I could help. Yeah, Jack, I did press a couple buttons.
I don't know what they did, but.

Speaker 3 (56:17):
Myself, Jack, one of my daughters, and Sabrina are on
a wordle on a wordle thing every morning. Usually Jack's
the first one that checks in. We'll send our world
over jacket it in three today I got in four.

Speaker 10 (56:29):
Yeah, impressive. Have you ever gotten to the first try?

Speaker 2 (56:31):
No? Not never once, No, second time a few, but
the first time.

Speaker 6 (56:35):
No.

Speaker 2 (56:35):
And I have a word I'm sticking with it until
it hits huh. I can't tell you what my word is.
Why because here's the deal. And Sabrina use this against me,
or actually use it to her benefit because I was
using Stone all the time, and she would know that.
Then when I send her mind, she would look and
see how many of my first so she it would

(56:58):
give her an advantage. I'm like, okay, I'm doing that, Yeah, yeah,
I got you. Do you have a starting one?

Speaker 10 (57:02):
I do? I usually do Cloud?

Speaker 2 (57:05):
Do you wrong? Cloud?

Speaker 10 (57:06):
But I like Stone because of the S and the
T which are so common, which makes sense.

Speaker 2 (57:12):
Very common.

Speaker 10 (57:14):
That matter.

Speaker 2 (57:15):
Yes. And but then someone also when we talked about
this before, textan well, stone had already been a word,
so you're never going to get it on the first try.
And they go, that's why I use this, And I'm like, okay,
let me ask you. Then, let me ask you now
I use that. What do you think is because when
I saw Jack's today, because Jack didn't get anything on
his first guess and then he got only one letter

(57:37):
on his second guess and then guess the word all right,
So I when I see stuff like that, yeah, that's
exactly what I say, because you know is the word
it was? There are five other opportunities that are more
common words that are the word today. So when I
see Jack get nothing and then get one letter and
then nail it, it sketches me out and cheezs smart guy,

(58:00):
But it does it does make me kind of go
try to deduce how Jack could possibly come up with
that word, considering how many other opportunities that he could
have gone to miss. So it ended it, and we
don't want to give the word away, right, But it
ended in what I thought was an unusual letter short
is but based on my starting word the letters that

(58:23):
I eliminated, I was down to one vowel. But even then,
because I've gone through.

Speaker 10 (58:28):
Is this for today? Because I haven't done today's Yeah,
so yeah, we don't want to give up too much.
I just saw somebody said they use canoe. That's a
good one today.

Speaker 2 (58:36):
But here's what you have to assume is this, does
your brain build off consonants better or off of vowels?
Because the word audio is one of the best starting
words because it uses all but one of the vowels.
But how important is it to have vowels to put
that together? Because of the connecting vowel thing? C LP
L C h. You know, you could go on and on.

(58:57):
So that is like it's how your works with the
work with the letters available, and how you deduce the
remaining words possible. That I think is the starting word
choice for people of how that works. When I'm left with,
like what two spaces in the beginning, I'm always putting
consonants together. I just always assume it's the vowel is

(59:18):
not going to hit until the third one on a
five letter word. And it's not always right, but that's
what I'll always start with. Okay, st s L, anything, oh, CHC.
You know, anything where I can do two consonants together
is kind of where I start working it at yea.

Speaker 10 (59:36):
I guess I'm more of a consonant girl.

Speaker 5 (59:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (59:38):
And the funny thing is is I I kind of
vacillate sometimes if I get a couple of vowels, you
can kind of start doing the deduction of possibilities and words.
But then there are sometimes where I get two vowels
and I'm like, well, these have so many possibles, Like
if you get an E and an A, guess what's it?
A third of the language. Yeah, you could sit there
for a month, which is why someone said, stale or

(59:59):
steel are the two best words to start with because
you have your S, your T, your A, and your
E in there. But also it's I.

Speaker 3 (01:00:07):
Think N is one of the most important words to
guess first because of the connectors with with how N
ends in T and P Yeah s N. You know
what I'm saying, The connectors from there because those words
are also l's the same way because there's so many
other consonants those letters work with.

Speaker 10 (01:00:24):
I feel like we are gaining valuable brain cells right
doing this. I really do, like I feel like if
you can solve these puzzles, it's like I feel like, Okay,
that's like one more year I can stave off dementia
or something.

Speaker 2 (01:00:39):
You know what I mean, It's a proven fact. You
don't have to guess for a fact. I mean.

Speaker 3 (01:00:42):
One of the reasons I do a lot of crossword
puzzles and puzzles like this is for that very reason.
It's in my family. You know, we have some some
Parkinson's in my family, and one of the things that
is proven to at least stave that off for a
while is making sure that your brain is active, not
just reading create.

Speaker 10 (01:01:01):
I didn't know that for Parkinson.

Speaker 3 (01:01:03):
Yeah, solving dimension Parkinson's if you read it. I remember
reading that if you do crosswords, if you do games,
puzzles like this, that it's very important to keep those
synapses kind of firing so that your brain stays as
young as.

Speaker 2 (01:01:15):
Possible for a while.

Speaker 10 (01:01:16):
I like that.

Speaker 2 (01:01:16):
Yeah, yeah, I do too, Man, I love them.

Speaker 3 (01:01:18):
It's like it's one of my favorite things to do
Sunday morning, bringing out the New York Times and the
Orlando Sentinel Frank Longo his crossword puzzle and then sitting
with coffee and or outside with a cigar and doing
that is like you're talking about like meta moments.

Speaker 2 (01:01:31):
That's my meta moment.

Speaker 10 (01:01:32):
What about puzzles? You guys like puzzles? I found myself
like being more attracted to puzzle like puzzle checking.

Speaker 2 (01:01:37):
This family do them all the time. We don't, but

(01:02:06):
we used to. I went grown up. We had a
card table, which was a square table that was great
for puzzles. And now I have these weird shaped tables,
a lot of weird tape tables. What do you do
for fun, like you have abby Puzzleshuh?

Speaker 10 (01:02:20):
Well, I have kids, so you know what I like
to do. I take Maizie, and I take her almost
I try to go every day. I like, I just
need to decompressed time. So there's a park not far
from my house that is like quiet, and they have
like trails that like go out over water and there's
like hardly anybody out there. It's like me and like

(01:02:41):
some like deer and nice and turtles and and so
I do that a lot. And I read a lot.
I like to read, and I do, like you guys,
I do a lot of charity stuff. I do a
lot of pediatric cancer events. I do a lot of
breast cancer events. I'm part of the Rows and Aquatic
and Fitness Center boards who we work on helping kids
who can't afford swim lessons because what is the number
one cause of death of children in Florida's drowning, right

(01:03:04):
and so, and you guys know, we do these horrific
sad stories all the time about especially kids who have
autism are so attracted to water, right and so and
so we work on that and I don't know, I
just like I just and then I travel to see
my kids. And then I like to travel. I love
to travel. We're going to bamp for the summer and
I'm really.

Speaker 3 (01:03:23):
Ross just went to Years a couple of year years ago. Yeah,
you said it was the most amazing thing he'd ever done.
I'm really he did a horseback ride.

Speaker 10 (01:03:30):
We're doing that.

Speaker 2 (01:03:30):
We said it was the greatest.

Speaker 10 (01:03:31):
Okay, maybe I need to talk to Ross. So we're
doing a horseback riding. We're doing.

Speaker 2 (01:03:34):
Are you a mountain girl or beach I'm a mountain girl.

Speaker 10 (01:03:37):
I love the beach. But if I had to choose
between the two, it would be a mountain.

Speaker 16 (01:03:41):
Really.

Speaker 2 (01:03:41):
That's interesting. Amy was Sweezy was here yesterday and she's
the exactly way. She's a total beach a beach girl.

Speaker 10 (01:03:46):
She's a total beach girl.

Speaker 2 (01:03:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (01:03:48):
Yeah, she actually from my For my birthday two years ago,
she bought me a beach chair, which I still love it.

Speaker 2 (01:03:54):
News. How many kids?

Speaker 10 (01:03:57):
Three? So I two in college. One is my oldest
is at Florida State. She's a junior. And then I
have middle daughter. She's at Bucknell University, which is in Pennsylvania,
like central Pennsylvania, like I guess you're familiar with, like Gettysburg.
It's like close to there. And then I have my
youngest is a boy and he is a freshman in
high school.

Speaker 2 (01:04:16):
Very nice. Yeah, wow, what a gap there.

Speaker 10 (01:04:18):
Huh Yeah, it's like like two years between the girls
and then four years between the girl and the boy.
That was like where we were like, do we want
to have one?

Speaker 8 (01:04:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:04:27):
Yeah, I think a lot of people Yeah yeah, sorry, yeah, yeah,
it's awesome, man.

Speaker 10 (01:04:32):
But you know, with kids, they keep you busy. And
so and since I still have one in high school
and he's placed water polo where act they actually he
plays for Seminal High School and they just made States
and so we're heading to States in Miami in a
couple of days. And so, you know, you're just when
you're in that mode of like.

Speaker 3 (01:04:48):
How cumbersome is it for you to downside or to
decompress when you're so visible? Because I know you hear it,
and and the worst you have the worst part of
the worst is this you're nice, Because being visible in
nice is a double punch in the face because you
feel kind of obligated to say hi or spend a
few minutes to everybody who approaches you.

Speaker 2 (01:05:08):
And of course you're again you're very easy to spot
in the crowd. So do you deal with that quite
a bit?

Speaker 10 (01:05:13):
It's funny you say that, so.

Speaker 2 (01:05:14):
We don't deal with that, Like right now, people don't.

Speaker 10 (01:05:16):
Everybody knows who you are.

Speaker 2 (01:05:17):
But if we talk, yeah, oh yeah yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:05:20):
If we talk, I mean you hear my voice, you'll go,
oh okay, yeah, I got you now. But I could
walk anonymously through most parts of Orlando with no problem
at all.

Speaker 2 (01:05:26):
I don't want to brag, but I got spotted at
Costco last night. Hey Jack, I'm like, what's up. That's
real fame, cap going, that's real fame. I hey man,
I had my roasted chicken. I was out of there,
you guys.

Speaker 10 (01:05:45):
I learned my lesson when Colton, who's now fifteen, was
like two and we were at Ikea down by Mault
Millennia and he was staring a total temper tantrum, and
so snatched him up and was walking around and we
had the older daughters were with us, and I was like,
I was like, I gotta take him out to the car.
He was past his nap time, he was super crabby.

(01:06:05):
I was like, give me the keys, I'm gonna take
him out, put him in his car seat, He'll fall asleep, whatever,
go finish up. And he was as I'm walking out
of Ikea and you guys know how a massive story.
He's smacking me on the head. Oh like this like
doing that. You know, He's like full on temper tantrum.
And I was like, stay calm, stay calm, stay calm.
So I stay calm. I didn't do anything. I got

(01:06:28):
him to the car. I was good. Of course, he
was just tired, and so I put him in the
car and you know, no, and I was like, okay,
I sat in the carner wai. Next day, I get
to work and there's an email in my inbox, Amy,
I saw you walking out of Ikea yesterday with your son,
and I saw him having a full melt down and

(01:06:48):
he was like smacking you in the face. And I
was just so impressed that you didn't overreact or react
and you were just calm and cool and you just
put him, you know whatever. They like they were watching me, right.
They didn't say anything, they didn't talk to me. I
didn't know who they were, right, But and that's it
was my reminder that even if someone doesn't come up
and talk to you, yeah they're watching.

Speaker 2 (01:07:09):
Yeah, everybody's doing that.

Speaker 10 (01:07:10):
They are, And some people don't want to say anything
because they feel like they're bothering you. It never bothers
me like I enjoy when people come up and say hi,
or I love the show, or we'll watch every day
like that. Listen, that's you know, that makes you feel
good like that. These are the people that keep us
working with you guys, right, I mean, we wouldn't have
jobs if people didn't watch.

Speaker 2 (01:07:29):
Same reason why you have to tip well, yeah, amen, right, right,
right right, and you're a hundred percent right. One of
the strangest things that we've kind of dealt with when
you know, when because we don't like at home, we
don't really talk about the radio show that much, and
none of my friends or stuff, we don't really talk
about it much. But when we're out to dinner and
my wife and I could be having a conversation about
some business going on here at the station or another

(01:07:50):
personality at the station or something. We just always had
to remember you got to keep it low because people
will hear you and listen and they will not say
a word to you. Then you'll go on Facebook the
next day and say, hey, I heard this guy talking
about this guy or that girl or whatever. You gotta
be real careful because people are sly they're a little
slide trying to catch you a little bit right.

Speaker 10 (01:08:08):
Yes, and who knows it? Maybe that person who sent
me that email was was like where a slip up?

Speaker 2 (01:08:17):
What did I say? What was I say?

Speaker 1 (01:08:18):
Right?

Speaker 3 (01:08:19):
For example, one text us at seven seven zero three
one Amy call felt with us today. She'll be here
another hour at least.

Speaker 2 (01:08:25):
Let's take a little break more with any next here
on the Jim Colbert Show.

Speaker 8 (01:08:31):
Hey Jim and Gang, listening to you from up here
in Colowna, Illinois. Just want to let Amy know I
feel you. I have a thirteen year old son who's
autistic and can get pretty violent sometimes, and having people
recognize your ability to handle that and the patience that
you have to show being an autistic parent is a

(01:08:55):
wonderful feeling.

Speaker 18 (01:08:57):
Happy Tuesday, Colbert crew beat up here. Amy Kay. Always
lovely to hear your voice.

Speaker 2 (01:09:04):
I agree.

Speaker 19 (01:09:04):
Currently, guys, I am headed to the chick fil A
off sand Lake Road all right because our kids are
to the charity Runway to Hope who are battling pediatric
cancer are getting the opportunity to be employees for the day.
If it ends in that area, come by, check it out.
Proceeds go back to the charity and put a kid
on the smile's face. All right, you'll have a going.

Speaker 2 (01:09:26):
Put a smile off kid's face now, no, you put
a kid on the smiles. Very nice. Welcome back to
the Jim Kolber Show. We already one o four point one.
I'm Jim Amy Kaufelt in with us today.

Speaker 10 (01:09:39):
I love Runway to Hope. Can I just give them
a shout out one of my favorite You've been working
with him for a while, have you know, thirteen years?
I think the only year that you know, they weren't
the COVID year that we weren't able to do the walk.
But I just went out last week and got to
hang out with my little bittty Cyrus, who's now cancer free,
and we got to pick out a little outbit that
he's gonna wear. I don't know, it's cool and it

(01:10:01):
just it's It gives me new meaning now that I'm
a cancer survivor, to be able to to be with
these kids and gosh, what they go through.

Speaker 2 (01:10:08):
Yeah, it's crazy.

Speaker 10 (01:10:09):
I wouldn't wish on any.

Speaker 3 (01:10:10):
I think Russ worked with them for a while, you know,
walking help, you know, walking a kid out there for
the runway and stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:10:16):
I think he did that for like four or five years.
Loved it. Yeah, simply awesome. Jack's here as well. Okay,
well a question for you, Yeah, go ahead, Amy. How
do you cut an orange?

Speaker 10 (01:10:26):
Oh? I cut an orange? So you mean, like, how
do I like my slice?

Speaker 20 (01:10:32):
Right?

Speaker 2 (01:10:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (01:10:33):
I don't like wedge slices, so I I think that's
too it's too hard, like when somebody cuts an orange
and a wedge and then you have to try to
I can't get it off. I like to be I
like the I like the thin slices that I can
like peel.

Speaker 2 (01:10:47):
Right, So you know what I mean. I'm just complaining
about my wife here because she cut my orange from
exact day. Unbelievable, lovely woman. How dare she her birthdays
tomorrowside birthday? Now me laryngitis, can't speak. It's been a
that's that she can't speak, so I get to use

(01:11:08):
all my words at home. This has been fun. And
she's on her way. She's going to a volunteer appreciation
dinner because she donates her time as well, so she's
doing that. Good on you, honey, happy birthday. I love you.
But when she cuts an orange, so you have a slice.
Then she cuts them in the little chunks and you can't.
There's not enough to get the skin off of them.

(01:11:30):
I'm like gnawing at it. When you clarify a couple
of things then, because when you say cut, I mean
you have to tell us how you plan on consuming that,
like if you okay, because if you're cutting it, like
if I'm holding it up or.

Speaker 3 (01:11:39):
The uh, the the stem would be at the top, yeah,
and I would have cut that straight in half. That
means the slices are with that, they're vertical, right, yes,
all right? If you cut it the other way, that
means when you open it up, you're gonna see, uh,
the sections cut in half. Now, that's normally how you
eat a grapefruit right right in Florida. In Florida, you
cut it in half. You sprinkle sugar or salt on

(01:12:00):
a lot of people like salted and the grapefruit, and
then you take your little tea spoon and you go
in there and.

Speaker 10 (01:12:03):
You little edges.

Speaker 2 (01:12:04):
That's right. You grandma had you eat it segment by segment. Yeah,
But Jack's right, if I think if you're doing it
with the stem up, you have to cut it into
at least quarters so that you can peel that back
while you're holding the butt of the orange. Yeah, you said,
but yeah, but I did. I actually said that even better.
And this is why I like. You get the navel

(01:12:27):
oranges that are just easy to peel. If you could
peel it, then you have the natural section in there
that makes life.

Speaker 10 (01:12:33):
I'm having a helf of isin. There's nothing better to
me than a half of isin with and then I
like the wedge orange and then I'll like squeeze it
in there and give it a little extra like citrusy flavor.
That's to me. A half of iasin is the best.

Speaker 2 (01:12:49):
Yeah, really, I love it as well. I mean so
good giant. Do you like wine?

Speaker 10 (01:12:52):
I do like wine. Yeah, I like red wine. I'm
not too picky on wine. Very nice beer like I
don't like because we all went to college. So now
like when I used drink when I was in college
was Keystone light. So now anything that I know, listen,
no I have any money, I get it. But now
when I see or drink beer that's like that, I'm like, No,
it brings back.

Speaker 2 (01:13:12):
Yeah, not an ip a girl at all. No, No,
I pa if.

Speaker 10 (01:13:16):
It's weedy, Yeah, yeah, if it's weedy, I'll like good week.

Speaker 2 (01:13:19):
Yeah for sure. Yeah. Are you foodies over there at
the I.

Speaker 10 (01:13:23):
Mean I liked I love to try new restaurants, and
I really love to go to restaurants that are like
quintessential Orlando. Like I love Linda's.

Speaker 2 (01:13:31):
Like just about to say that, my daughter was just
over there the other day and she was, Hey, I
texted her and just asked her how things are going.
She goes, Oh, I'm met Linda's Lalcentina right now. I'm like, well,
look around, because if you if you look around, like
take a second and then flashback thirty five years and
then realize every booth in that joint would have been
somebody who helped build the city of Orlando, because it

(01:13:53):
was crazy at one time.

Speaker 3 (01:13:54):
Linda's Lacentina was the place, and if you went in there,
you would see every day mignitary that Orlando had to
offer any night of the week because it was the
only place to go get like a nice steak.

Speaker 2 (01:14:06):
Yeah, yeah, I love that.

Speaker 10 (01:14:07):
Love it there. Love love beef king love, I mean
even and then you go up to Stanford. I love
holler Backs. Holler Backs has been around forever, and you know,
I mean there's just somebody. There's somebody having down on
the East co Rive.

Speaker 2 (01:14:17):
It's a legendary BF King, like you said, legendary Cappies
out and making.

Speaker 10 (01:14:21):
It and Cappies. Oh gosh, when Cappies was closing, we
were there, like remember that, we were there like every morning, like,
oh gosh, it's the last.

Speaker 3 (01:14:29):
Actually, I think you guys help save it. I remember
when they when they Sunny That's signed that new lease deal.
I believe that it was Fox alreaty five Orlando that
was out there like a couple of days in a row,
really bringing that story in and kind of letting people
know how important it is, because you know, you can
live on the other side of town and never.

Speaker 2 (01:14:45):
Have heard of Kappies. You know, you would never know
how important it is to Orlando's like culture, a place
like that, or BF King for that matter. I mean
for a lot of people, it's just like, oh, that's
just a dumpy, little dive place. Who cares, not realizing
you know how many people in Orlando you have nurtured, sure.

Speaker 10 (01:15:00):
And to understand. And this is what I love about it,
Like I love this the family roots of Beefy King,
Like I love the Woodrows, and they're great people and
this is like a family business that's been passed down
and you know, I don't know, there's just something special
about that. And I love what you said earlier about
when you order flowers you always make sure to buy local,
because I think that's important too, right, because you are

(01:15:21):
investing in a local business right and their success and
that's you know, that's being a good citizen.

Speaker 3 (01:15:27):
And you know, we have more people doing that now.
John over at Eastern Market, that entire area there, that family,
that family helped develop some of the biggest properties in
Orlando's a couple of the malls here and John Rife
and his wife have opened Eastern Market and that thing
has become a cultural hub of central Florida. Like the
cool part of Orlando is that area right there. And
of course you know with red light, red Light and

(01:15:49):
and now they're I think they're taking Carinn and they're
kind of rebuilding Krinn as one of those what's that
called when they gentrification No USA are like a parkway USA.
There's a there's a desert that's there's a designation, the
like there's a designation.

Speaker 10 (01:16:03):
You're talking about when something's like historic. Yeah, when they
give it like a historic designation right from.

Speaker 3 (01:16:09):
All the way down the ball that area is about
to receive or has already received, that designation of being
like a like a main street US.

Speaker 10 (01:16:19):
Yeah, I know what you're talking. Well, with the house
that's right on like Keola that remember they were kind
of debating if they were going to move it or
tear it down, and then they finally said, okay, it's
going to stay.

Speaker 2 (01:16:28):
And we did that in the Winter Park fole. Yes,
you know, they literally put that thing on a buggy
and drove it down a road for a place where
we can.

Speaker 10 (01:16:35):
Say so we had the granddaughter of the architect on
our show a couple of weeks ago, because now they
are there's a possibility that another one of the that
architects projects could be you know, taken away in Winter Park.
And and then it's just crazy how you know, you
do one story and then all of a sudden, then
I heard from a guy who is a preacher at
a church. He's like, oh, we're same architect, and we

(01:16:58):
would love to have her come and check out, you know,
her grandfather's work here. And you know, that's the history
that I think everybody's like all Orlando's so new, but
but there's so much history there.

Speaker 3 (01:17:06):
The house we live in right now in usas the
woman who owned it before owned twenty acres in that
area right there, which she wound up kind of parsing
out to the city and other places to build these
special homes. And they were all designed by the same guy.
So they're all like mid century moderate and like masterpieces
out there, all in a row. And it's the same thing.
I think she came here in the teens and started

(01:17:28):
doing that.

Speaker 2 (01:17:28):
So all right four seven nine one six four one
text has seven seven zero three one.

Speaker 3 (01:17:32):
Got a fresh keyword for you. Right now you're listening
to Jim Colbert shown real radio.

Speaker 18 (01:17:44):
Put a smile on a kid's face. A man, that's
been a day.

Speaker 19 (01:17:50):
But this is a prime example of why you talk
back before you listen. I mean listen before you talk back.
Oh I did it again, Oh man, sport y.

Speaker 2 (01:18:05):
I try to help you out, dog, but Jack threw
me up. By at five o'clock he orders deposit D
P O S I T slider of a roal radio
dot FM and send that away for your chance at
one thousand dollars guys, deposit is the word. Go get

now you're here, and of course check is. I looked

(01:18:26):

from me, so I don't have to really look at it,
but I just how unbelievably good you look on camera.

Speaker 10 (01:18:32):
Oh thanks.

Speaker 2 (01:18:33):
It's so hard to do.

Speaker 3 (01:18:34):
If you've ever done any TV and you watch video
of yourself on television, oh my god, it turned you
into a monster. And Amy looks like a like a
billion dollars every time. I thought the same thing this
morning as I was watching Good Day Orlando. It's just
I mean, she's on my giant TV.

Speaker 2 (01:18:49):
It's like, man, yeah, man, and they can zoom and
all the hell they want. I'm sitting right here next
to you. You look great, and you've been doing it for
a minute. I mean, I was just thinking it was
eighteen years ago when you were part of the real
radio Christmas Carol is.

Speaker 10 (01:19:10):
Like back in the olden days, and that was fun.

Speaker 2 (01:19:13):
By the way, it was the greatest. It was the greatest,
and you were the least cratchety of all the crotchets.
True story, you had a couple of Cratchet true story.
Well yeah, as a matter of fact, they made have
come in a little hot for Cratchet. Yeah, but you
were the least of the crotchets.

Speaker 10 (01:19:27):
I can't believe that was eighteen years ago.

Speaker 2 (01:19:29):
Same, my god, same the Calendar show. Yeah, I saw it.

Speaker 10 (01:19:32):
I mean, like gosh, I just think that, like Shannon
Burke show, way back, way back in the day, what happened?

Speaker 2 (01:19:38):
Everything right?

Speaker 10 (01:19:39):
I got a call to come in one day, don't
don't come in. I used to come. I used to
drive here.

Speaker 2 (01:19:44):
Did you really week?

Speaker 10 (01:19:45):
Yeah I missed that.

Speaker 2 (01:19:46):
I missed coming now she phoned, by the way, and
you look great on that too. Yeah, you wear your
glasses on them. Yeah. Have you done the Scarette show?
Have you ever done one of this?

Speaker 5 (01:19:57):
No?

Speaker 10 (01:19:57):
So that would be fun.

Speaker 8 (01:20:00):
No?

Speaker 10 (01:20:00):
Is it too risk?

Speaker 2 (01:20:02):
Well here's the thing.

Speaker 3 (01:20:03):
I think you could do it, But the problem is,
I'm not sure how the station would feel about it.

Speaker 2 (01:20:07):
A matter of fact, not your station, yours.

Speaker 3 (01:20:10):
We had we had Trooper Steve and one time before
ray over an Excel's good friends with Trooper Steve. I'd
never met him. I thought, man, this would be great
to get triper Steve on. I mean, every time you
know Channel six does something, they do a good jobs
six or nine with him six, right, and and he
does a good job. So let's get Trooper Steve in here.
So Ray brought Trooper Steve in and we're sitting there
talking to Trooper Steve a little bit and Trooper Steve.

Speaker 16 (01:20:33):
What were you just?

Speaker 2 (01:20:34):
Huh? The things you can't say?

Speaker 3 (01:20:36):
Well, you need permission for So when Fridays would do
a bit called pick the Porn, I believe, okay. So
the bit is I find four or three adult adult
film titles that don't really say they're just kind of
not the script.

Speaker 10 (01:20:55):
To see if Steve would know no, and then and then.

Speaker 2 (01:20:57):
I make up a fake one, right to find the.

Speaker 10 (01:21:00):
Make up a fake one?

Speaker 5 (01:21:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:21:01):
And then yeah, and then you try to make one
and I Trooper Steve, and I said, are you okay
with this bit? I mean, I don't know how Channel
six rolls over there, but this bit can get a
little risky at times, I mean, nothing crazy. But he goes, no,
we're fine. Two titles in my man was red shaking.
He did not know how it was going to go over.
And we haven't seen him since. Hi. So I'm not

(01:21:22):
one hundred on troop or Stephen picked the born.

Speaker 10 (01:21:24):
That's funny. Yeah, yeah, I'm not playing that game with you.

Speaker 3 (01:21:27):
I ask you something I saw something day in the
news I wanted to ask you about. Do you have
a friend fund? Have you ever heard of that term?

Speaker 10 (01:21:32):
A friend fund?

Speaker 2 (01:21:33):
Yeah? Friend fund?

Speaker 10 (01:21:34):
No, I don't think I do.

Speaker 2 (01:21:35):
This is a Yahoo Finance story and it says that
most of us can agree that sharing is a cornerstone
of friendship right now. Do you have a group of
girls that you guys do you do stuff with? I
do you do? Yeah?

Speaker 10 (01:21:47):
I mean I have like I have my two high
school besties, and then I still have my college roommates
that I lived with and I'm really close with. And
then I have like a group of girls like in
my neighborhood that I'm close with them that I have
a group of girls that I go to church with.
I don't close with.

Speaker 2 (01:22:01):
I don't know.

Speaker 10 (01:22:01):
I have like lots of groups.

Speaker 2 (01:22:02):
And then there's a work group.

Speaker 10 (01:22:04):
And I had my work friends, like and then I
had like Sweezy is like one of my work It's.

Speaker 2 (01:22:09):
A lot of frien Jack doesn't have any friends. So
I know not to I'll be your friend. I know
not to ask him. It's very nice. Our birthdays are
a day apart. I I have a group of friends
as well.

Speaker 3 (01:22:22):
Now we used to do a lot of stuff together.
We haven't done anything in a while, just because of
life or whatever. But the whole idea of having a
friend fund, first things First, you have a group. You
have to have that group of friends. And I know
that Scott Brown who's coming a little bit later, he's
got a group of guys that he travels around the nation.

Speaker 2 (01:22:37):
Sometimes they like work trips, go golf, they go play
golf and stuff, right, So sometimes they'll build that around
business trips, and sometimes they'll just like they just got
together and went to Ireland a couple of years ago
for like a seven day golf trip, or they played
golf all the time, and that's awesome.

Speaker 3 (01:22:51):
This friend fund is exactly that. It would be like
you and your girls chipped in like twenty or thirty
or forty dollars into a pot that you guys are
to have, right, Yeah, and you do that occasionally and
you build up that friend fund, and that friend fund
is to spend money on stuff like when your birthday
rolls around or when your friend's birthday rolls around, or

(01:23:11):
when an anniversary hits, or maybe a girl's weekend or whatever.
And rather than have that idea, rather than everybody kind
of fending for themselves, everybody who's chipped into the friend Fund,
everybody makes a decision based on like, let's say you
gotta do a weekend and you're gonna go to like
creeburryal out there on you know what is on in
the Casiti, and you're gonna do a weekend out there, Well,
you would dip into this friend fund and you would

(01:23:32):
buy the block of rooms or you would and you
would do the little things. And that way, when everybody went,
you wouldn't have to worry about doing any of that
money thing. It would take that uncomfortable you owe this,
you owe this, you owe this away.

Speaker 10 (01:23:43):
But there is a there's an issue here. Okay, don't
give you an examp. There's so there's a lot of issues.
But Friday night, I ever my girlfriend's that they're kind
of like my old baseball mom group and then some
neighborhood girls we like was so we like to do
stuff for birthdays. So it was my turn and they
were like, what do you want to do for your bok,
I'm like, I want to go line dancing. So my
friend Michelle made the whole plan and she's like, Okay,

(01:24:04):
we're going to go to dinner here, meet there at
five thirty and then we're gonna go to the barn
and we're gonna go line dancing at seven o'clock. And
everything was set, and then that morning she's like, I
have the worst stomach virus. I cannot go. I'm like
so so sick. So then what do you do with
the friend fund? So then do you have to be
like Michelle, here's one hundred bucks.

Speaker 2 (01:24:23):
I'm sorry, well no, because here's the thing, the friend fund,
because not everybody's going to be able to go to
every single thing.

Speaker 15 (01:24:29):
Right right?

Speaker 10 (01:24:29):
Yeah, But wouldn't you be mad if you put money in
the friend fund and then you didn't get to have
any fun?

Speaker 2 (01:24:33):
Way, I would be mad. I'd be mad. I would
too miss that fun. It doesn't mean that you're going
to miss the next and everything like that. But what
they say is every week these girls will throw in
like twenty dollars into this friend fund, and then they
will make a schedule based on, you know, what they
want to do for the year, for that month or whatever,
and that comes out of the friend fund. Now, I
could never in a million years do something like this

(01:24:53):
because I don't have any people that are in my
life that consistently where I can say, hey, Code Black,
let's go do this. Because our lives are so scategorical,
there's no way possible to plan anything like that.

Speaker 10 (01:25:04):
But everybody also has a cheap friend, right, So then
it's like, what do you do about the cheap friend
that doesn't want to put anybody in the front.

Speaker 2 (01:25:14):
But no, not everybody, right, it's so, and then you
or the person who economically may not be able to
afford what the others can afford. That's think you have
the bookkeeper friend and it said, well, Vicky hasn't put
in this month, and then your friend come becomes a
splitting of friends.

Speaker 10 (01:25:30):
Fine, I feel like you could get awkward. It's like
trying to it's like trying to share it, like it's like, hey,
let's all pitch in and buy a house together.

Speaker 2 (01:25:37):
No no, no, no, no, no, that's that's that's a
bad idea. Never do that bad idea, Never do that
bad idea. Can you do that? Yeah?

Speaker 10 (01:25:46):
No, I mean like, oh, the water heater broke, everybody
pitching or something right.

Speaker 2 (01:25:50):
And then buy it under the LLC. Or a couple
can trust right, an unmarried couple can buy a house together.

Speaker 10 (01:25:56):
That's true jointly.

Speaker 2 (01:25:58):
Yes, I don't know if that's accurate. I don't know
if that's accurate. Might not be the mortgage, but I
think it can be the deed. Well, okay, so that's
way different. I mean, I understand what you're saying. That's
way different because you know, in one of our houses
years ago, I think I had I was on the
mortgage and Torri was on the deed, and I though

(01:26:20):
now we're all we're I think we're together on everything.
So I don't know that you can do that. I
don't know that you can just be co together and.

Speaker 10 (01:26:27):
Buy a house, which is why the friend found what
worked there We go you.

Speaker 2 (01:26:34):
I'm not selling this. I'm just saying this is something
that people are doing. I'm glad you're not selling it,
because it's a horrible idea. I got them mighty go.

Speaker 3 (01:26:41):
It says when we think about sharing finances, it's usually
the context of romantic relationships, like when couples open a
joint bank account, after they get married. But according to
financial counselor Marquisa Brown, it's actually pretty common practice in
communities as well. Different cultures have their own version of
community pooling. In the Black community, we've been doing this
for generations through is it sussus. Korean communities have the

(01:27:07):
guy gu or gye. Those are names for these practices.
I guess we're communities pour into a community pot in
case something happens to one of the communities and they're
not so burdened financially for one large lump sum.

Speaker 2 (01:27:22):
I'm only like Amish people. The only people I would
think that would be doing anything near this. Latino families
I know can live together or they live together and
that's culturally okay, and been in that way for years.

Speaker 10 (01:27:33):
I don't know, I feel like that. I mean it
used to like my dad said that when he was
growing up. He's going to be ninety this year, but
he's growing up and they, you know, the family would
buy like like an apartment building kind of you know,
it to have like three units in it, and everybody
in the family lived in that building. Yes, I don't know,
but I don't know who really owned it. That's that's
I don't know how that works. So it was back
on the day in Chicago.

Speaker 3 (01:27:53):
My daughter dated a kid from Serbia and his parents
were from there as well. We actually became pretty good
friends and we get to have long conversations about that.
In Serbia, it's exact same way when you build a house,
rather than build another house on a piece of property,
they just add a level to it. So the people
who own the house live on the bottom floor. Brothers
and sisters will live on the next floor. Mom and

(01:28:15):
dads will live on the floor next and this will
be both sides of the family. So at any given
point in Serbia, in those areas there, you could have
three generations of a family on both sides of the
marriage living under one house. And that's perfectly common anywhere
from eleven to fourteen people living in one house and

(01:28:36):
they just each build, they build their own level, and
then they be.

Speaker 10 (01:28:41):
What's the building code?

Speaker 5 (01:28:44):
I don't know, making a little.

Speaker 2 (01:28:45):
Nervous necessity though, like you know, we're spoiled with what
we the resources we have. They're like, you gotta make.

Speaker 3 (01:28:52):
Do it, and they marveled at how crazy I thought
that was. Like when I when we were kind of
telling them where faces of you might imagine our faces
were like in America, you know, you want your space.
Most people talk about wanting to be an empty nester
and just have the entire place in themselves. They do
not look at like that in that culture. They they
want everybody near them at all times. You realize it's

(01:29:12):
probably much healthier, right what their approach?

Speaker 10 (01:29:16):
Yeah, everybody together, people.

Speaker 2 (01:29:18):
Living in a McMansion. Yeah, probably so, all right? Four

chance one thousand bucks back in a second.

Speaker 1 (01:29:32):
Still the common sense financial advice you need. It's only
money with Scott Brown today at six twenty on the
Jim Colbert Show.

Speaker 20 (01:29:46):
Hey, culvert crew, it is Richard's from Castlebary.

Speaker 6 (01:29:49):
Hey.

Speaker 20 (01:29:49):
You know what makes me smile and makes me happy
is hearing Amy Kawfeld on Real Radio one oh four
point one. I used to watch WESH two news Amy
all the time for years and years and years, and
after hearing her on the news junkie, I switched to
GDO and I love it. Everybody there, it's awesome. Great

(01:30:10):
to hear you, Amy, have a good day.

Speaker 18 (01:30:14):
WQ Jack.

Speaker 17 (01:30:16):
Hey, they're Colbert Crwe to Rob here for Florida's Turn
podcast for us.

Speaker 2 (01:30:21):
I know you were talking about the whole.

Speaker 17 (01:30:23):
Friend fun and the mortgage situation, and yeah, as for
multiple people going into buy a house, well, my son
was in what I consider to be a bit of
a non traditional relationship and it was a throuple.

Speaker 2 (01:30:36):
But the three of them bought a house.

Speaker 17 (01:30:39):
And I don't know the details, but I do know
all three of them not being legally married on that happen.

Speaker 2 (01:30:46):
Interesting.

Speaker 3 (01:30:47):
I did not think they could happen. Do you think
about a think about a bank doing that? I mean,
are they equally responsible if one of them bales?

Speaker 2 (01:30:56):
Texas say real estate paralegal here, individuals unmarried can one
hundred percent by property together. They can all be on
the title end or mortgage. Each person can own a percentage,
or they can own all together jointly. So but one
can one force the other to sell. Let's say I buy.

Speaker 3 (01:31:14):
Let's say the three of us buy a house together
and we each put in, you know, two hundred grand,
and right, we'd buy a six hundred thousand dollars house, right,
and we live there harmoniously for five years, but then
I meet somebody. But then I meet somebody and I'm like, well,
I don't want out. That means you guys would have
to buy me out of my position to have that,
or I would always maintain a stake in the house
and when you sold it, you would owe me. You

(01:31:36):
would owe me a third of that right, But I
can also could I force you to sell have to buy.

Speaker 2 (01:31:40):
My part if you don't have more than fifty percent
at them. Yeah, that's a It just seems like a
legal nightmare. That is something you want to explore. Yeah,
I do not. Well, the throttle thing is interesting because
when it's a romantic relationship with more than two people,
you just I don't know. It seems like there's more

(01:32:02):
variables and more opportunities for things going around.

Speaker 3 (01:32:05):
It's so funny. We just got a text from Ray Trinley.
I just looked down and said, if you're in that scenario,
Amy could force us to sell the house to pay
her her percentage if she wanted to.

Speaker 2 (01:32:14):
If we could, I would if if we could come
up with the money to pay her.

Speaker 3 (01:32:18):
So in other words, you and I would have to
come up with one hundred grand apiece or no, actually
it would be more than that because the property would
have increased to you.

Speaker 2 (01:32:26):
Did you say you would, Amy, did you say you
would force us the past? Yes? Oh, man, don't feel bad.
I would to.

Speaker 10 (01:32:32):
Forget about it. You should have put more money in
the friend fund.

Speaker 2 (01:32:37):
All right, Welcome back to the Jim Coulbern Show, Real
Radio one O four point one deposit is your five
o'clock keyword. Thats the E P O S I T.
Just slide over to Real Radio dot FM and send
that away for your chance at one thousand dollars. I'm Jim,
there's Amy callfell say Hi, Hi God. And then of
course are used to this.

Speaker 10 (01:32:54):
Guys, like when we do it in the morning. It's scripted,
So Jim says high first, and then I say hi,
and then the next person says hi, and.

Speaker 3 (01:33:02):
So I know that you know through this, I mean,
we never know who's tuning in or out of the station.
So I actually catch a little bit of a hell
for reintroducing the crew every single break. It's really kind
of abnormal. But I have found that as people are
tuning in, maybe they you know, this is a transient area,
so people maybe tune in in the rental car. I
just want people to know who's talking when they hear
a voice.

Speaker 10 (01:33:20):
No, you're right, And I do appreciate that, especially because
when I'm listening, I'm just like, who's that? Why is
this right? Especially because they're used to dead being here,
so it's like.

Speaker 2 (01:33:29):
No, it's one hundred percent. There's always a new listener.
We we kind of get caught up when we see
people in the texting service and they're there at three
and then they're saying goodbye at seven. We sometimes assume that, oh,
they listened to the whole show, but so many people
are just they're in their car. It's twenty minutes here,
it's twelve minutes there, it's you know, an hour here.

(01:33:49):
So it's you always have to just resell or reset
what you're talking about, as well as introduced people because
they'll hear a voice, and if it's someone for the
first time, they don't know deb from from Amy or
the other Amy.

Speaker 18 (01:34:06):
You know.

Speaker 10 (01:34:07):
I always tell the guys on News Junkie that, like,
the best compliment I get is when people walk up
and say, I listen to you on the news Junkie. Yeah,
and I don't know why But that to me, that's
like special because it's only one day a week and
you know, and so then I'm like it just I don't.
It just makes me. And also I think it's I
don't know, what you guys do is so special. There's

(01:34:28):
it's such a rarity, like talk radio is such a rarity.

Speaker 2 (01:34:32):
Now, well, this kind of talk radio is very rare,
even more rare, absolutely the rarest.

Speaker 3 (01:34:36):
A matter of fact, when you look at this company,
I think we own eight hundred radio stations.

Speaker 2 (01:34:40):
Is that what it is?

Speaker 3 (01:34:40):
Eight hundred and sixty radio stations. We are the one,
are you kidding? We are the one that does.

Speaker 10 (01:34:46):
This new arey kidding? So there's no other city, but
it's not the same, not like this, not.

Speaker 2 (01:34:51):
Like this, Yeah, Jack, that accurate. Close. There's one other
They pale in comparison to us Milwaukee. No oh yeah,
yeah that's not that's not Yeah, I understand, but not
on this scale. Yeah, not like this. I mean, no
disrespect to Wes Palm. We've been doing this for thirty
five years. We are we are we are so unique
that the radio station, the company that we work for,

(01:35:14):
has a difficult time kind of understanding it because when
we when they talk about Orlando. Reeal is an Orlando
and there's no other brand like this. I mean, I
did not know that.

Speaker 10 (01:35:23):
I just assumed that other major cities had something similar.

Speaker 3 (01:35:27):
It does not work. You know, they fried in LA.
They tried it in other places. Now there are morning shows
that do long form talk, but they're also playing songs
during that. But from top to bottom, just topics and
talk that doesn't revolve around politics.

Speaker 2 (01:35:40):
It's very it's rare. Yeah, our company has two formats
and we're kind of in in the middle there because
it's music or news talk, right, Yeah, and so we
kind of get labeled as news talk and then as
you know, as a program director, I get a bunch
of emails that mean nothing to me because I have
no interest in it because it's all politically based, right,
you know, So we're more considered personality talk because it's

(01:36:02):
more about our experiences and things we're doing.

Speaker 10 (01:36:06):
How careful are you guys, because you guys know, we
are extremely careful to the point that you know, we
do not talk at all about our political leanings.

Speaker 2 (01:36:15):
Yeah at all?

Speaker 10 (01:36:16):
Right, but how careful are you guys about that? Or
do you how much pressure do you feel to be
careful about.

Speaker 2 (01:36:22):
It, well a ton.

Speaker 3 (01:36:23):
I mean, if I'm being dead honest, I'll speak for
myself here, you know when it and really, to be
honest with you, it's this particular kind of administration that's
made it unique because it's so polarizing. And I was
just telling you during the break, and I'll say it here.
I couldn't even have a disagreement with this administration without
being labeled something right like I couldn't even just bring

(01:36:45):
up a question about a decision made by the administration
without immediately being attacked as somebody who doesn't support the
administration because people who support this administration don't believe in
questioning anything that happens with it. So for me, it's
frustrating because I would love to talk about stuff like that.
The problem is is there's no conversation about it. Either
you are or you aren't, so we try to avoid

(01:37:07):
it at all costs because there's no value in it
because there are people. The problem is this Nothing I'm
going to say and I'm not ever trying to change
anybody's vote. I'm not ever trying to do that, But
nothing I can say is going to affect anybody's decision
making process, or make them look at a topic differently
because of my perspective, because those things are so solidified

(01:37:28):
in people's brains. If you say something that they don't
agree with, they automatically take it personally. It's not like
I can't have a like I couldn't have a conversation
with you if you were a big supporter of this
administration and have a conversation about a decision made by
the administration, because it immediately I'm wrong. There's no way
to assume that we can have some debate about it,

(01:37:50):
because there's no way possible I'm right, or no way
possible that they're wrong, or vice versa. And I would
feel the same way. There's no way that they would
look at my perspective and consider it because they've already
solidified how they feel about it.

Speaker 2 (01:38:03):
And it didn't used to be that way before. I
think that before there was.

Speaker 3 (01:38:06):
Some malleability hold on yeah, you know, in decisions, and
you would be so concrete in it. But now I
believe that this is the first administration I've seen where
people kind of have tied their identity to their political leanings,
and now it's an offense to them. If you question
something that they believe in, rather than just going hey man,

(01:38:28):
maybe you look at it this way a little bit,
or maybe this perspective would be different, or why don't
you tell me your perspective and try to tell me
where I'm missing something like that.

Speaker 2 (01:38:35):
You can't do that anymore.

Speaker 10 (01:38:36):
So we had John Morgan on the show on writing
are you Oh good good? He's really in you know, lover. Mean,
everybody has their opinion about John Morgan, right, but he's fascinating,
fascinating to.

Speaker 2 (01:38:53):
Talk to one of the most interesting people in lad.

Speaker 10 (01:38:55):
Truly, truly, And I could have probably talked to him
all day. I think with the interview went nine minus,
which in TV time is like, right's a lot of
time right there. You know, the producers are in my
ear like wrap it up, wrap it up. But I
could have talked to him a lot longer. And one
of the things he talked about with a third party,
and he's so right, is that that we all I
think most people are in the middle, right, most of
us are somewhere in the middle. Most of us. There's

(01:39:17):
always going to be people far right, far left. Most
of us are in the middle. And he talked about
how there's not there's really not a place for people
in the middle.

Speaker 3 (01:39:24):
No, no, no, because each each party has castigated that person, right,
has labeled that person as a non supporter on either.

Speaker 10 (01:39:32):
Side, right right, it goes both ways, right.

Speaker 3 (01:39:34):
So, and the thing that I think this is happening
now is people are seeing how independents are really choosing
these electorates because I mean, you figure, I think MAGA
represents about thirty eight percent of the Republican Party, and
I think progressives probably represent maybe a little bit less
of the Democratic Party for there. But independents are the
ones really making these decisions, because those are the ones
are really trying to swing with different policy choices. But

(01:39:57):
they don't look at them as valuable voters, just look
at them as somebody that can sway to their side
for that particular election. That's how I've seen it.

Speaker 10 (01:40:05):
Yeah, and people will say, and you know, when I
posted the photo of John, you know, everybody had a
comment and one of the things people were talking about was, well,
we have an independent party, but that's not a party.
It's not a party, right, there's no head of the
Independent Party.

Speaker 3 (01:40:18):
And being NBA is odd because of the primaries, you know,
people want to vote in primaries and decide which candidates
they will eventually guess their vote for. But the way
it's built here in this state is you can't really
do that.

Speaker 2 (01:40:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (01:40:29):
Yeah, And I don't know it just the whole thing
is really interesting to Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:40:32):
Yeah. And the thing is, I don't know that Democrat
or Republican really sums up the majority of each of
the voters that even identify as that anymore. You know,
you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (01:40:40):
It's just like, I don't change if you say you're
a Democrat, what part of Democrat are you? Are you
the are you the part that considers all the super
left stuff? And if you're a dog?

Speaker 2 (01:40:50):
Yeah, are you what part of you know, the Republican
party are you? Do you agree with this and this
and this? And if you don't agree with all that stuff,
you know you they don't really find value in you
for half of your opinion. They you know, everybody need
you to kind of adhere to all everything.

Speaker 8 (01:41:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (01:41:06):
Not, that's not how we are. I just don't think
that's that's not you know, typical American.

Speaker 3 (01:41:10):
Scott Maxwell and I have conversations about this all the time,
And I and I've kind of formed this question, I
think is a very good question. When I run into
people with these hard takes, right, with these really hard takes,
I ask them this, where else in your life do
you apply that theory? Where else in your life do
you apply this super hard take that you have right now,
whether you're a Democrat or a Republican and you have

(01:41:32):
this super hard take, where else do you do that?
Do you apply that in your personal relationships? Do you
act like that at work? Do you raise your children
with that mentality? Because if you only use it for politics,
that means you're you're really lying to yourself. That's really
not who you are because you don't apply that theory
anywhere else in your life.

Speaker 10 (01:41:48):
Yeah, Yeah, you're so right, And that's kind of right,
that's yeah, And that's why politics is so polarized.

Speaker 3 (01:41:53):
And that's kind of one of those litmus tests that
I've used even for myself, by the way, Like, if
I have a take and I think, wow, that's maybe
something different than I thought before, where else do I
use that? Then I go, Yeah, you don't really say
that anywhere else. I'm like, well, maybe that's just something
where your emotions got you and you've said something that
you have convinced yourself of that isn't actually really applicable
to how you roll.

Speaker 10 (01:42:13):
But that's also emotional intelligence.

Speaker 2 (01:42:15):
Yeah, maybe, so, I don't know. Don't tell anybody that.
Please don't use those words with the bragshaw. We'll tackle
you in the hallway.

Speaker 3 (01:42:23):
Let me ask you real quick, and we'll get off
the subject real quick for a few minutes before you
get out of here.

Speaker 2 (01:42:27):
Do you when do you like biopics? People say biopic biopic? Aga?
I do? Okay? Yes? Does it matter if it's controversial
to you? Does it matter if the subject of the
biopic has controversy? Do you feel like you're supporting that
particular estate or person if you view that or you
just kind of Michael Jackson has one coming out, okay,

(01:42:48):
And Michael Jackson is a polarizing character to a number
of people because of the stuff that happened with the
kids and whatnot. And there's a story of the BBC
Today about it, and it's coming out soon and it's
supposed to be pretty amazing right now, all of the
pre stuff says it's pretty incredible. But with a lot
of his baggage, there are people who simply will not
watch it because of that very thing.

Speaker 10 (01:43:09):
Okay, but it depends on what's covered I think in it, right,
So if they tell the whole story right and include
you know, everything, then I think it's an accurate portrayal.
If they don't, if they skip chapters right, then it's
not a true bio.

Speaker 3 (01:43:26):
So if they omit stuff that isn't so shiny, you
don't think it's you know it as well?

Speaker 10 (01:43:30):
I don't know. I mean, like don't isn't that the
reason we watch these like documentaries?

Speaker 2 (01:43:36):
So is that a true documentary then? Because I think
what you're seeing is celebrities producing their own or states
of in the Michael Jackson case, producing their own biopics
so they can control the narrative. Whereas, yeah, it was
they took out like when they address the issue with

(01:43:57):
the kids, and they had that removed from it. Yeah,
so it's you're not getting the full honest portrayal of
his life, you're getting parts of it.

Speaker 3 (01:44:07):
The early rumbling excuse me, the early rumblings of this
are saying that it is going to be bohemian.

Speaker 2 (01:44:13):
Rahaps pretty big interesting, Yeah, because.

Speaker 3 (01:44:15):
I mean that one made almost that almost made a
billion dollars and I think won four oscars.

Speaker 10 (01:44:20):
And it was also accurate, yes, and that's why I
liked it. And so I don't know. I mean, Freddie Mercury,
you know what a fascinating guy. But if you leave
out you know, all of the warts or the you know,
the things that you're right, right, if you leave all
that stuff out, then I don't know. Then it's not
it's not it's not a good string.

Speaker 2 (01:44:38):
And the other thing too, I think with Michael Jackson,
it makes it even more interesting. Amy is this like
you've already had a preconceived notion of whether or not
he's guilty of those crimes or not. In other words,
you have an opinion on it.

Speaker 3 (01:44:50):
Jack has an opinion on it, and I have an
opinion on it. So as you're watching this and and
they're trying to tell that story, if it doesn't add
up to what you think happened, we are automatically going
to discount that as a fluff piece, right, because oh, well,
they're not covering the way it's supposed to. I read
this one story in Variety and it said that blah
blah blah blah. So they're not telling the whole story.

(01:45:10):
I'm out any type thing. Yes, So I don't know.

Speaker 10 (01:45:12):
Did you know that I met Michael Jackson?

Speaker 18 (01:45:14):
Did you?

Speaker 10 (01:45:15):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (01:45:16):
I gotta.

Speaker 10 (01:45:16):
I'll show you guys a picture. So we were on vacation.
We were in Toronto, I was in old My god,
I'm gonna pull the picture ups so you guys can see.
I think it was eighty six. I'm not trying to
date you. I'm just saying you can date me, but
you have Tory. I don't know, and I am Brian.
It would be awkward. So okay, yes, I'll live in

(01:45:37):
the basement. So we're on vacation. We're in Toronto. I
gotta pull the picture ups so you guys can see it.
We're on vacation, and we were with my cousins, and
so my cousins who lived in Chicago, we lived in Ohio,
and my mom and her sister were arguing about something,
so we went our separate ways. Okay, So we are
standing in front of a building and there's a limo

(01:45:58):
out front, like a picture of nineteen eighty six.

Speaker 2 (01:46:00):
Yeah yeah, it was square.

Speaker 10 (01:46:02):
Yeah, And and there's a guy running a hot dogs
stand right there, and he was like, hey, you know
who just went into the hotel right there, and we're like, no,
he goes Michael Jackson and his brothers and he's going
to come right back. So if you wait right here,
you're going to get to see Michael Jackson.

Speaker 2 (01:46:17):
And I was like, no way.

Speaker 10 (01:46:18):
So my sister and I are flipping out, and so
we wait, hold on, I'm gonna find it. Wait.

Speaker 2 (01:46:25):
This is the pinnacle of his success. It was huge.

Speaker 10 (01:46:28):
Yeah, okay, hold on, I type that in and just
Jack the way you're looking at.

Speaker 2 (01:46:33):
While you're looking for that, I'll tell you interesting story.
Today was the day eighty four I lied. Today was
the day.

Speaker 3 (01:46:39):
That Michael Jackson's littler got knocked off the off the
number one.

Speaker 3 (01:51:57):
This is a real easy game. Get a question here
for you, four answers. One of these answers, David, it
is not true. And if you can find that, buddy,
I'll send you over to see Jack with a Jackie
sack and you can find something nice for yourself.

Speaker 2 (01:52:07):
Are you ready? But here we go on this day.
In nineteen eighty six, television news personality Heraldo Rivera opens
up al Capone's vault live on national television and it
finds it completely empty. I thought there was like an
empty bottle in it.

Speaker 3 (01:52:25):
Extremely good ratings for that, by the way, But that
would be the last thing he did with him, because
nobody believed anything he said after that. Here are three
fun facts about the notorious mobster al Capone and one
bootlegging lie. All right, we're talking about al Capone, buddy,
which one of these is not true? Number one, al
Capone was a massive cocaine addict who went through severe
withdrawal symptoms in prison.

Speaker 2 (01:52:47):
Number two.

Speaker 3 (01:52:48):
His older brother was a gangster in Italy who was
actually killed by one of his own minute only twenty
eight years old. Number three, his lawyer was named Eddie O'Hare,
his son was name Butcho, war hero and inspiration for
the O'Hare Airport in Chicago. Or lastly, he died at
forty eight years old in Palm Island, Florida.

Speaker 2 (01:53:09):
Which of those is a lie? Number three?

Speaker 3 (01:53:12):
No, that's absolutely true. His lawyer was a guy named
Eddie O'Hare, whose son was a guy named Butch O'Hare
who was a war hero and is the reason that
O'Hare Airport in Chicago is named O'Hair Airport with a
connection to al Capone?

Speaker 2 (01:53:25):
How crazy is that? All right? One?

Speaker 16 (01:53:27):
Three?

Speaker 2 (01:53:27):
Four? Or five?

Speaker 10 (01:53:30):
Is this me?

Speaker 18 (01:53:30):
Yes?

Speaker 10 (01:53:31):
Ah? Three?

Speaker 2 (01:53:32):
Three? Is Mike? Mike? How you doing, buddy? I'm saying,
all right, all right, buddy, we're talking about al Capone here?
Which one of these is in true? Number one? Al
Capone was a massive cocaine addict who went through severe
withdrawal symptoms in prison. Number two. His older brother was
a gangster in Italy who was killed by one of
his own men at just twenty eight years old, or lastly,
he died at forty eight years old in Palm Island, Florida.

(01:53:54):
Number one, No, that's absolutely true.

Speaker 3 (01:53:57):
One of the things you never hear about al Capone
is he was a massive cocaine addict and actually went
through really severe withdrawals while in prison. In both the prisons.
He said that, actually, all right, Amy one four or five?
One one is Jay, j how.

Speaker 2 (01:54:13):
You doing doing?

Speaker 5 (01:54:15):
All right?

Speaker 2 (01:54:15):
I have a good buddy, we're talking about al Capone,
and you have a fifty to fifty shot at making
over to the jackie sack and find something nice for yourself.

Speaker 3 (01:54:22):
Which one of these isn't true? Number one His older
brother was a gangster in Italy who was killed by
one of his own men at just twenty eight years old,
or lastly, he died of forty eight years old right
here in Palm Island, Florida.

Speaker 14 (01:54:34):
I'm gonna go the first one.

Speaker 2 (01:54:35):
That's the one, buddy, you're going out, Jem. We're old. Hey,
just out of curiosity, what do you think his older
brother did? I would say it was part of the mob.

Speaker 3 (01:54:46):
Hey, check this out, you're ready. He was a cop
in Nebraska who actually busted bootleggers.

Speaker 2 (01:54:52):
Well that's crazy, isn't that crazy?

Speaker 3 (01:54:53):
His older brother actually was a cop in Nebraska and
worked with cops to bust bootleggers, And of course that's
how al Capone made all of his money. Well, a
part of his money was bootlegging, prostitution, and running books gambling.

Speaker 10 (01:55:06):
Do you know the little town in Chicago where al
Capone became famous, like where he used to live and
do most of his dirty work? No, no, no, it is
the same town where my dapt.

Speaker 2 (01:55:16):
Is No way, no way. Really, I can't say celebrate,
but do they have.

Speaker 10 (01:55:24):
You know, that's a good question. I mean the cistero
is it? I don't know's I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:55:27):
He had a place in central Florida here and also
spend time in Saint Augustine. Yeah. Yeah, he had a
house out at Mount Plymouth. There was a golf course
out there for a while, and he had a place
out there and then and there was theoretically a lot
of Chicago businessmen. Yeah, and air Quotes lived out in
Lake County as well when they when they fled that
area to retire, spent a lot of time in Florida.
A couple of other things you may not know about

(01:55:48):
al Capone before we get at the top of the hour.
He would regularly pay the hospital bills of innocent people
he hurt while committing crimes. He was actually the first
person opened a soup kitchen after the depression as well.
So when you see those signs in the depression, you
see those photographs, it says soup kitchen. Al Capone opened
the very first one of those that fed people for free.
That's why he got that.

Speaker 3 (01:56:08):
He got the reputation of being a bit of a
Robin Hood character to the people of Chicago. He ascended
from what to the king of Chicago mob in just
six yeers. What did he do six years before becoming
one of the most powerful men in all of organized crime?
He was a waiter, not far, not far at all, bartender,
He was a bouncer at a sign.

Speaker 11 (01:56:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:56:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:56:32):
He dropped out of school in the sixth grade to
join a street gang. So since the age of what
twelve is that when you're in six trade like eleven,
twelve years old? Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was in a
street gang from that moment on, and then lastly here
to his friends, his nickname was Snorky, not Scarface. He
actually hated the name scarface. What do you think snorky means?

(01:56:52):
From nineteen thirty's slang linga well.

Speaker 10 (01:56:56):
Based on his cocaine habit.

Speaker 2 (01:57:00):
Snorty.

Speaker 10 (01:57:01):
I mean it kind of fits though.

Speaker 3 (01:57:02):
Yeah, Snorky in the day meant that you were a
great dresser. So they called him snorky because he always
looked great and he always wore lots of gaudy jewelry. Yeah,
actually on his pinky right, yeah, well everywhere. He's a
fascinating character, all right, four seven nine one text us
at seven to seven zer or three?

Speaker 2 (01:57:20):
Are you out here? I mean, I.

Speaker 10 (01:57:21):

Speaker 18 (01:57:53):
Hmmm, who could be the third Amy?

Speaker 15 (01:57:58):
What's up?

Speaker 2 (01:57:59):
Coverra crew?

Speaker 4 (01:58:00):
I just wanted to say that you don't have withdrawals
from cocaine, so the story might not be one hundred
percent correct.

Speaker 2 (01:58:06):
All right, hey, you do wait time out. Who in
the hell would say that? Yeh you first of all
as someone who's self admittedly has never seen cocaine. Yeah,
but that doesn't mean anything. Might have smelled it a lot,
but you've never seen I've ever seen it. That's crazy.

Speaker 3 (01:58:23):
But I'm telling you people who have cocaine addiction go
through withdrawals. I mean, am I am am I crazy
by saying that. Multiple websites today talked about al Capone's
massive cocaine addiction and how he dealt with withdrawals, not
only in Alcatraz, but in other penitentiaries he was at
as well. Three of them actually, four oh seven nine

(01:58:44):
one six one o four one text us seven to
seven zero three one your six o'clock. Heyword just fun

Yeah a lot deeper now. Scott brandileby with us here

(01:59:19):
in a few minutes for his segment, but he just
popped in a few minutes early to hang out. How's
it going, buddy, Great? Good weekend? Oh a lovely weekend.

Speaker 16 (01:59:26):
A little bit of golf, Yeah yeah, at your normal spot,
on my normal spot. How you playing New Driver? Is
a problem? A little whippy, little whippy time, little whippy
it's in, And I'd like to believe it's because of
my overpowering swing speed.

Speaker 2 (01:59:39):
Yeah, sure, but that's probably not true. You guys, uh jack,
you're watching any new shows? New shows? I just finished
the season finale for The Pit okay, which I go ahead,
loved it. Really. It's fifteen episodes a season, and I started,
I don't know, maybe a month ago or so, and
watch all thirty episodes atter asolutely loved it.

Speaker 3 (02:00:00):
Tried to revisit that my wife and when I flipped
it on there because she didn't remember exactly what I
was talking about, right, And when I brought the you know,
the show up on. She goes, Oh, that's the Er show,
and I'm like, next topic, because I mean, she was
not interested in watching Er reboot it again with curse words.

Speaker 2 (02:00:15):
Also, let's see, I am one episode away from finishing,
uh the Paradise Show. Okay, second season of Paradise right,
So I finished the first season last night. I only
had one episode left. What a banger that was, and
then started season two last night as well. But I
think I passed out about the last ten minutes of that.
So I got to read you got to see that again? Yeah, dude,

(02:00:37):
that's a Have you ever heard of this show? You
never heard of it? Yeah?

Speaker 16 (02:00:39):
Are But you gonna watch a lot of television. I
don't watch a lot, although I did watch. My daughter
made me watch Neighbors. Are you familiar with this?

Speaker 2 (02:00:45):
It's on my list and I haven't started it yet.
Pretty wild. There's some crazy as people in this state. Yeah,
this is a It's based in Florida.

Speaker 16 (02:00:53):
It's where neighbors are mad at each other for infringing
on planning a bush in the wrong place, but it
escalates to the point of absurdity and they're both neighbors
are completely out of their mind to where they're walking
around threatening to shoot each other.

Speaker 2 (02:01:06):
The cops are it's is this a scripted show? Or
is this no?

Speaker 16 (02:01:09):
No, this is a reality show. Yeah, largely filmed guess
where in Florida?

Speaker 2 (02:01:15):
Yeah, so yeah, go figure.

Speaker 4 (02:01:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:01:17):
And then the third one I'm watching, which I don't
think it's talked about enough, but if you are a
Star Wars fan and or it's on Disney Plus and
it's only two seasons and I have one episode left,
but it takes it's the it's the lead up to
where the movie Rogue one starts, which is the lead
up to where a New Hope starts, which was our

(02:01:40):
very first Star Wars movie. Ohka, that's cool.

Speaker 3 (02:01:42):
See I'm not a Star Wars guy, so that doesn't
like intrigue me at all. I did watch the first
season of Dark Matter. Have you heard of that show?
The alternative kind of universe show that. Oh I like
what you're saying. The guy like the words I'm hearing.
The guy builds the box, and the box can transform
you to a different part of your life, but it's
not a different time in your life.

Speaker 2 (02:02:03):
Now, give an example.

Speaker 3 (02:02:04):
Let's say you and I hopped in the box right now, right,
and the thing went off and we came out of
the box. Okay, we may come out of the box
in this radio station, and the radio station may look
like it's not been used for thirty five years, and
outside it could be snowing and there's no sun.

Speaker 2 (02:02:19):
But it's in the middle of the day.

Speaker 3 (02:02:21):
We've entered a different parallel universe where the radio station exists,
but we don't know when, where, or how that happened,
and it has nothing to do with time. It is
painfully confusing for about the first three or four episodes,
but then when you get into it, it's actually kind
of crazy. Dude started watching that. But the reason I

(02:02:42):
bring this up is there's a new show coming out
and it's called Margo Has Money Problems.

Speaker 2 (02:02:46):
Have you heard this? Margo's Got Money Problems. I've seen
the promos for it, eight part series on Apple TV. Now. Look,
sometimes I don't even care about the premise. I want
to see good actors because usually good actors have first
choice of the best writing, and the writing in these
things means almost everything. Right, El Fanning, Michelle Pfeiffer, Nick Opferman,

(02:03:08):
and Nicole Kidman, whoa all in this show. Four big
time heavy hitter players in this and it's supposed to
be about a girl I believe, who leans on only
fans to open to pay for things. But there's a
bunch of twists and turns when she gets into the

(02:03:30):
only fans thing where her mom comes into play. That
is Michelle Pfeiffer and her dad is Nick Opferman, who
is a former professional wrestler with drug addiction problems. So
it's supposed to be like that good and they're saying
that it's gonna be one of the best shows of
the year. I saw it on NPR today and I'm
always looking for something new to watch that is written

(02:03:51):
well and doesn't go off in these weird like I
don't mind sci fi, dude, but when it gets to
the point where it's like inception and I can't figure
out where things are, it's just irritating. That sounds like
your Black Box show, Jake Matter show, What's in And
I believe that's on Apple TV Plus. What's interesting because
I was listening to a report today on the future

(02:04:11):
of Apple TV Plus is kind of uncertain now that
Tim Cook is stepping down. You have a new guy
steping in and you're gonna have to write the ship
of a four trillion dollar company, and it's considered off
track because of they they seem to be behind the
curve when it comes to AI and how they're implementing
that into their you know, product line. So they're saying

(02:04:34):
that are they going to continue to invest as much
into entertainment and the Apple and producing shows or is
it more going to be focused on you know, their products.

Speaker 3 (02:04:45):
Yeah, it's interesting because when I read that today, it's like,
it's wild. They only they gave you know, Cook credit
for the iPad advances in the iPhone and then the headphones,
the watch, right, and then I guess he's piecing out.
He was there fifteen years, you said what it was
like that and then he's moving on. I didn't really
read anything about what the new guy. I mean, he
just looks like a college kid. Yeah, I mean he

(02:05:07):
literally looked like a thirty five year old college kid
and jeans and a T shirt. But that's kind of
what Jobs was, right, right, And he's a hardware guy.

Speaker 2 (02:05:13):
But the yeah, you know, the company since thirteen, but
Tim Cook took it what from three hundred million to
four trillion trillion? You can't discount that. No, no, no, no.
And I guess the entertainment Entitia was a big move
for them, because I know that you know, and they
said today that you know, Jobs didn't make very much
money from Apple. Where do you think he made it? Oh?

Speaker 16 (02:05:33):
From the movie?

Speaker 3 (02:05:35):
Yeah, the Disney and Disney Disney sales. The Disney thing
is where he made almost almost all of his money
in Apple. So all those years this guy's developing game changing,
species changing technology that did that's not worth cash.

Speaker 2 (02:05:47):
In the nineties he had to go to Bill Gates
for a bell out. Yeah, Pixar, Yeah, made a lot
of money off of Pixel Yeah. So interesting stuff out there.
And the cool thing is And Scott, I know you're
a big reader.

Speaker 3 (02:05:58):
The guy who is a doing this show is one
of the guys who also has adapted other novels.

Speaker 2 (02:06:04):
I have to kind of look here, is this is
a dark Matter show? No? No, this is the Margo's
Got Money Problem Mars show. Yeah, it's Rufie Thorpe. I
guess is this is the novel twenty twenty four novel
by Rufie Thorpe. And the guy who is David E. Kelly.
And of course we know David E. Kelly.

Speaker 3 (02:06:20):
He's taking this and turning it into the series, and
I guess that's kind of where David Kelly is focusing
his thing, Big Little Lies and other shows like that. Yeah,
he's taken from books into series shows.

Speaker 2 (02:06:30):
Isn't it's Nicole Kidman as well. Yeah. Nicole Kidman, Michelle Pfeiffer,
Elle Fanning, and Nick Offerman Wow are part of this show.

Speaker 16 (02:06:38):
I feel like Nicole Kidman's working a lot. Yeah, she's
on a lot of stuff.

Speaker 2 (02:06:42):
That's why. Yeah, post divorce man, Tim must need some
cash or something. Alimony's not coming in. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:06:48):
Created by David Kelly, who wrote several of the eight episodes.
I guess his career goes back to La Law, Ally McBeal,
Picket Fences, Boston Legal and what he's done is and
Big Little Lies. These are novels that he's changed from
novels into and then My Nine Perfect Strangers. I've not
heard of the book, but he also adapted that into
a series as well.

Speaker 2 (02:07:07):
What do you think Nicole Caidman's net worth is?

Speaker 16 (02:07:10):
So she's what Tom Cruise and what's the musician Keith Urban?
Keith Urban?

Speaker 2 (02:07:16):
So I don't know, but on a seventy million. That's
a really good guess on her own merit highest paid status.
In twenty twenty four, she ranked among the highest paid
actresses I believe that, with a reported gross revenue of
thirty one million to forty one million that year.

Speaker 3 (02:07:32):
Universally loved by Hollywood, by the way, yeah yeah, I like,
they absolutely adore Apparently she is one of the most like,
one of the most favorite people from all of the
movers and shakers in Hollywood.

Speaker 2 (02:07:41):
I think made her all the money from those AMC commercials.
You know, she's trapped in the theater. Seventy million is
such a great guest. That's almost exactly is it? Two fifty?

Speaker 21 (02:07:52):
Who?

Speaker 2 (02:07:54):
Okay, she got She's gonna be all right. I guess
what are taxes like in Australia. You know, I think
she lives in Nashville. Maybe not moved from there. She
broke she broke you pieced out from Nashville. She don't
have to deal with wishall yeah, all right. Jim was
part of their breakup, by the way, Is that right?

Speaker 5 (02:08:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:08:14):
Jim? What was that thing you we we interviewed a
woman in his band uh And and Maddie Maddie and
he Jim asked her about his relationship and asked her
about Nicole Kidman and stuff, and and it was rumored
that she might have been the other woman in this scenario.

(02:08:34):
We interviewed her six months prior to them splitting up.
As a matter of fact, that's posted. We had that
on our page. Yeah, we have a clip because when
I asked her about it, I said, uh, you know,
I said, you know, you're playing Keith Urban's band if
you know, what's that like? And you know, uh, doesn
Cole Kidman come around or anything like that. And she went, oh,
she kind of did this whole thing. I'm like, oh,
come on, way to go, Jim and that six months later, man,
that's exactly what happened, all right, Bor seven nine six

(02:08:56):
four one. We'll do It's only money with Scott Brown next, Jim.
Jim's sorry.

Speaker 6 (02:09:15):
Cocaine is not the same kind of addiction. It's a
mental addiction more than anything physical, like say, alcoholism. Where's
alcoholism will make you grabs your car. Cocaine will make
you vacuum in your lawn at four o'clock in the morning.

Speaker 2 (02:09:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 21 (02:09:34):
The withdrawals is called regret, especially when you just bought
an eight ball, You bought it on Friday Saturday night,
you only have a couple of bumps left. You get
mad at yourself, so yeah, you get grumpy, get mad,
real mad, you and a bird.

Speaker 4 (02:09:55):
Yeah, I don't know, Jimmy, I agree with that other guy.

Speaker 5 (02:09:57):
Man.

Speaker 4 (02:09:58):
I was thinking the same thing. You don't go through
withdrawal from cocaine. There's probably some mental addictions from it,
especially if you're around it all the time in the
party scene. But uh, you know, there's not a physical
really a physical addiction to it. And I could tell
you firsthand. But uh yeah, I haven't done in three
years and don't care to ever do it again. Well

(02:10:18):
maybe just a little bump.

Speaker 2 (02:10:21):
So I love whatever topic it is. We have a
core of listeners who might be an expert. Didn't see
this one coming today, So am I am I the
crazy one here? Have all of you guys heard for
your entirety of your lives that cocaine was addictive and
that it's ruined lives? Don't We see this all the

(02:10:43):
time in sports and entertainment, that cocaine was the reason
that you lost everything. You don't do that if you're
not addicted to it, right, a mental addiction over the physical.
So there's not a physiological addiction for a need to
do it again, but mentally what it you? You're chasing that.

Speaker 3 (02:11:02):
And that's the reality you've known about like that, this
is the This is not the first you've ever heard
that cocaine isn't physically addictive.

Speaker 2 (02:11:08):
Yeah, you know what, I guess I never thought about it.
All I've heard my entire life. All I read today
is that cocaine is physically addictive, that you get addicted
to it and it could cost you everything. Is that
the same with you?

Speaker 8 (02:11:21):
Dude?

Speaker 16 (02:11:21):
I never, like Jack, I never really thought about it.
I mean, it's not like you get the shakes or
you're your pancreas shuts down like with alcohol when you
stop using alcohol. So yeah, I never really thought of it.

Speaker 2 (02:11:32):
You stop when you're out of money? Yeah, well no,
that's isn't that the thing? Though? You don't I mean,
isn't it back in the day you be robbing people
to get money to go by blow? Or is that
a no?

Speaker 11 (02:11:42):
Is am?

Speaker 2 (02:11:42):
I just yeah, mis led my entire life. But it
doesn't mean that I feel like I'm crazy right now.
It's just not the physiologically. But I've never heard that.
I've heard that about weed for years. I've never heard
that cocaine wasn't physically addictive ever in my life. That's crazy,
all right? Four seven nine one text has seven seven
zero three one. Welcome back. I'm Jim check is right

(02:12:04):
over there. Let's do It's only money, all.

Speaker 1 (02:12:06):
Right, it's th people passionate about planning for the future,
rise above investments, myths the field.

Speaker 18 (02:12:16):
Isn't that really just common sense financial advice?

Speaker 2 (02:12:19):
It's b oh okay, here's all living money. Wi Scott
Thrown from the Edgewater Familyfamilywealth dot Com. That's Edgewaterfamilywealth dot com.
Baduciary in town for about almost forty years. Making sure
that you and the fam make good decisions with your

(02:12:40):
long term cash, to make sure it lasts for a
long time. That's the whole idea, right.

Speaker 16 (02:12:44):
I think that's the plan, is to have enough cash
to do the things you want to do, where you
want to do them, with.

Speaker 2 (02:12:50):
The people you want to do it. How about that?

Speaker 16 (02:12:52):
Is that that's pretty simple?

Speaker 18 (02:12:53):
Right?

Speaker 2 (02:12:54):
Simple? What you want, when you want, with who you want.
All right, Let's first things first before we get into
some content. Another event coming up May eighth, Yes, twelve
o'clock at the Lake Mary Ruth's Chris. Yes.

Speaker 16 (02:13:05):
So the Mount Dora crew is looking forward to seeing
you again on May eighth at noonish at the rus
Chris and Lake Mary. We had a good turnout last time,
so we thought we'd tried again. For those folks that
couldn't make it, it's it's a pretty good spot for
people coming, like from Lake County or Blusia County. We
get a lot of people from Belusia County, which is
which is interesting. So yeah, and we'll do they do

(02:13:27):
some live planning there. They're going to go through what
it means to have a plan, to build a plan,
how difficult it isn't They're going to kind of go
through because I think a lot of people think it's complex,
and it's yeah, it takes a minute, it takes some time.
But the reality is putting some simple facts and figures
together so that you have a balance sheet, you know
where your income is gonna come from. Do I take
it from the roth, do I take it from the
traditional These are all important things and they're going to

(02:13:49):
do all of that at the roos Crass. And the
cool thing is also you have you have people who
can come in and talk about your Medicare and your
Medicaid issues, talk about your sol security issues, what changes
may or may not becoming, you can expect, what you
can't expect, give you some parameters what you can work
with as you build your plan for your retirement.

Speaker 6 (02:14:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 16 (02:14:06):
I think people also to your point, Greg Ross, of course,
is are experts in our office on both Medicare and
Social Security, and Greg speaks at all of our events.
And one of the things I think people are surprised by,
even myself sometimes when I hear Greg update is the
interaction between your finance is the interaction between the money
you've saved, whether that be through a four h one

(02:14:27):
K or an IRA or a ROTH or just basically
in savings, how you take income from that, and how
it interacts with your Social Security tax ability number one,
in the cost of your Medicare premiums number two. A
lot of people don't really do that math before they engage.
In a lot of times, what we find is people
come in and they've made a transaction or taken some

(02:14:47):
money from a place that they didn't necessarily have to
take it from, and had they done something slightly differently,
it would not have had the negative impact on their
Medicare premium.

Speaker 2 (02:14:56):
Right exactly.

Speaker 3 (02:14:57):
And those are the things you kind of need to
know how those kind of how those two it counts
interact together.

Speaker 2 (02:15:01):
Yeah. Yeah, he's got a few stories that where it
just really crystallizes how there are some right moves and
there are some moves where you can cost yourself financially
just by either waiting too long to take advantage of
something or just you know, doing it a slightly different
way and just put yourself in a much better spot.
And that's and the way he explains it is just

(02:15:22):
it's it's so simple even I could understand.

Speaker 16 (02:15:25):
Yeah, yeah, he's he's good with the stories and the
anecdotes because a lot of times if somebody speaks to
you and technical to well, you know, if you do that,
you're just going to add three percent to your AGI
and judge, you know, nobody knows what that that's right,
You're completely I shut down. So what he does is
you say, look, if you sold a piece of property
at age sixty four, that might affect them how much
medican So you might want to wait to sixty six,
or you might want to wait till sixty seven, or

(02:15:46):
you might have want to have done that, it's sixty three.
That kind of planning people don't. I don't think people
think of Medicare and Social Security as real financial planning.
But I'm telling you right now it's an intricate part
of your plan and it should be talked about you.
So if you're I think sixty five obviously is when
you get become eligible for Medicare, you should be talking
about that. It's sixty two, sixty three, and sixty four.

(02:16:08):
Not waiting till the week before you're eligible for Medicare.

Speaker 2 (02:16:11):
Utter percent. God comes in on Tuesdays kind of give
you guys some advice on what we can do and
what you can do to make your financial life a
little bit more better and stable. What's the quick reminder
about the wealth DNA? What is that?

Speaker 16 (02:16:21):
So wealth DNA? You weren't here, you were out cruising. Yeah, yeah,
I'm living the good life. But while Jack and I
were back here working hard, we had people take our
new wealth DNA test, which is a personality test, but
it's geared towards money. So the output that comes from
the wealth DNA, which is on our website Edgewaterfamilywealth dot Com.
There's a dropdown you can take. The test takes fifteen

(02:16:42):
or twenty minutes. It emails you immediately the results. What
I love about the test, and we've talked about this
before when you were on the cruise, we talked about
the fact that there's a lot of personality tests out there.
In fact, the NFL is big for taking some quarterbacks
that test right. And it tells you how you will
react under stress. It tells you what things you like,
what things you don't like, what your tendencies are. If

(02:17:04):
something goes wrong, it tells you all those things. In
this case, it tells you all those things specifically to
your finances. So if the market drops, how are you
likely to react? Now that's not necessarily going to keep
you from reacting that way, but it does help you
recognize your tendencies. And so what we developed this for
I worked with doctor Christophe Morin, who's a PhD in

(02:17:25):
behavioral economics. I'd been working on this project for like
a year and a half, top secret in a cave somewhere,
and finally we got it done. So we've pushed it
out and many of the listeners have already taken advantage
of it. We are kind of reaching out to get
feedback from those folks to see what parts they liked.
If it was too long, too short, was it helpful,
was it not helpful? Which parts did you like? That
sort of thing. So we're kind of in the beta

(02:17:45):
phase of this thing. But I can tell you, Jack,
I mean, you thought yours was pretty accurate.

Speaker 2 (02:17:50):
I liked it, and I liked the term architect which
was in there too, And you know, so I thought
I thought it was pretty accurate for my feelings. Investing
in what I am comfortable with. Deb had a different result.
Brian Grimes was here that day, and he I think
he was more closely paralleled. He was a wealth commander.
A wealth commander, which is, I believe what you are.

Speaker 16 (02:18:12):
I am a wealth commander, and what you know, Ross's
was the best to me because Ross was a guardian.
We had names for all these things, and every time
I talked to Ross, the general theme when it comes
to money is he's he's always thinking about his wife
and his son, right, He's always thinking about what. I
don't want to make any mistakes for these people. I'm
worried about them, which is obviously an admirable trait, but

(02:18:35):
it can also paralyze you a little bit. Right, So
his his term was perfect. They pegged him as a guardian.
He wakes up every morning thinking, I got these people
to take care of and but it also showed him
the limitations of that, like sometimes you can be too
slow to a decision, sometimes you can overthink, sometimes pass
something if you can pass something over, or just wait

(02:18:57):
too long to make a move. So well, the wealth
DNA's out there. It's at edgewaterfamilywealth dot com.

Speaker 2 (02:19:03):
Take it.

Speaker 16 (02:19:03):
It's free, and a lot of people so far have
told us they've really enjoyed the feedback.

Speaker 3 (02:19:08):
Yeah, by the way, that is Ross's personality, because we
talk about that off the air. His number one concern is,
you know, how he's going to take care of his
family for the next ten, fifteen, twenty thirty years whatever.

Speaker 2 (02:19:15):
That's all he really thinks about.

Speaker 16 (02:19:17):
Yeah, it's and obviously it's it's a great trait for
a father to have, but again, we want to make
sure that that doesn't get in his way, right, become
a hurdle and yeah, become a hurdle for him, and
make sure that he's taking action when action needs to
be taken.

Speaker 3 (02:19:28):
Edgewater Familywealth dot com. If you want to take that
Wealth DNA test is up there right now, absolutely free,
and it'll kick you the information immediately right it will.

Speaker 16 (02:19:35):
Did you drop in an email and but as soon
as the test is over, within a few minutes, you'll
have the date.

Speaker 2 (02:19:39):
Very nice, all right, Let's be on to number one here,
says the Media and retiring accountment balance for Americans age
forty five to fifty five is around one hundred and
fifteen thousand dollars, but the mean average is around three
hundred thousand. Why is that so and what does that mean? Yeah?

Speaker 16 (02:19:54):
So we I think most people who've had some kind
of statistics class. I took mine three times just to
make sure. Now, yes, I got it, by the way,
I think I got a professor. I hated it so much. Oh,
I hated that class so much. So it's what it
tells us is, obviously, the mean is kind of the
average of the big numbers and the little numbers. The

(02:20:16):
media is the really the number that shows up more
or less the most, I suppose, And what it tells
us is that a lot of people, a lot of
people have really small balances in that age group. Thirty
forty fifty thousand dollars, which obviously is an ideal. And
then a few people have really big balances, and so
it makes you, It makes one wonder, It makes me
wonder disproportionately, why do so many people have small bounces?

(02:20:42):
And I know it seems a pretty simple answer, but
a lot of people have these?

Speaker 2 (02:20:46):
How were these?

Speaker 16 (02:20:47):
More importantly, how are these people with this extraordinarily large balances?
Maybe they have seven hundred or eight hundred versus the
other people who have eighty or sixty is obviously that
shows as it can be done. Now the argument could
be made while those maybe the people make more money
or maybe and while that's true, the average defined contribution plan,
which is a four oh one K or a four

(02:21:07):
h three B for nonprofits, you know these salaries are
not wildly all over the place. People aren't most people
in a defined contribution plan. I can tell you anecdotally
from my experience, and I use this example all the time.
There's a major private school here in town. Everybody would
know it if I said it, And we've done their
four oh one K for a zillion years, and I

(02:21:28):
have teacher after teacher retiring with seven figures in the plan.
But then I also have this handful of people that don't.
I mean, they're the same age, the same income. They're
making their you know, seventy thousand dollars a year, which
is a great income, seventy eighty grand a year, and
one person has thirty grand and one person has eight

(02:21:49):
hundred grand. Right, And I've seen it anecdotally over and
over again. And I can tell you because one would think, well,
those people are very astute. They're just smarter with no
and that's not making that at all, does not mean
that at all. What they did was they said it
and they forgot. They put it in first gear and
then they hopped off. Yeah, and on the hill they went,
they put it in brisk.

Speaker 2 (02:22:10):
Gear, and that they put the brisket in the thing,
and they shut the door and they didn't peak.

Speaker 16 (02:22:15):
And I know people are tired of hearing this, But
the thing I say all the time is, you know,
the one person in particular, and I won't say her name,
but she's one of my favorites, and she's still a
client today. She's been retired from the school for I
think ten or fifteen years now. Is she doesn't want
to talk about it. Whenever I see her at the school,

(02:22:35):
I'd be like, hey, you want to Scott, I'm good, thanks, anyway,
I'll see after I retire. And this went on for
years because my kids were at that school for twenty
some odd years, and for twenty years she did not
want to talk about it.

Speaker 2 (02:22:47):
But when it came.

Speaker 16 (02:22:48):
Time to retire, she came in with her little papers
and she said, is this good?

Speaker 2 (02:22:52):
I bet it was great.

Speaker 16 (02:22:53):
I'm like, yeah, that's pretty good. You're gonna be just
funny old dude, just quite all right, So he can't.
The point being is that it can be done. It
just requires time to know exactly. All right, Let's move
on our second topic.

Speaker 3 (02:23:04):
The probability that someone aged forty five to fifty four
currently has a written plan for retirement is less than
fifty percent, And to be honest with you, I would
think it would be even less than that.

Speaker 2 (02:23:15):
I think it is.

Speaker 16 (02:23:16):
Yeah, yeah, it probably is, but I wasn't. I searched
for the data everywhere, and basically what I got from
it was less than fifty percent.

Speaker 2 (02:23:26):
For sure.

Speaker 16 (02:23:27):
Probably I would guess thirty five percent would be my
guest based on my experiences. But why, why does that matter.
What again, if you don't write it down, what gets
documented gets fixed. Right, Yeah, So if you don't sit
down and you don't figure these things out, and you're
just kind of getting up every morning and going, well,
I'm probably okay. Yeah, Well, there's literally software now, you know,

(02:23:49):
AI's even made it more credible. Is there a software
now where a financial advisor, I don't care if it's me,
go whatever, the closest person down the street is where
in like fifteen minutes they can give you the statistical
probability within a small variance of whether you're going to
get this done or not. And if the statistical probability

(02:24:09):
is twenty three percent, you should probably look for ways
to improve that. It's like your test you're always talking about, right,
that group that does the hard test, right?

Speaker 2 (02:24:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 16 (02:24:17):
Yeah, Like why wouldn't you want to know that? So
the same is true of this. If your statistical likelihood
of success is eighty nine percent, you can leave that
day going my arteries are clear, Yeah, yeah, I'm good. Right,
But if it's twenty three percent, you might want to
lay off the cheeseburgers.

Speaker 2 (02:24:32):
Our head right to the hospital immediately, right.

Speaker 16 (02:24:35):
So, but what I'm saying is there's no reason for this,
There's no reason to not know these things other than
the fear.

Speaker 2 (02:24:42):
Of knowing them.

Speaker 1 (02:24:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:24:43):
Yeah, And I think that's what kind of powers a
lot of people. We know, people who you know, don't
go to the doctor because they don't want to know,
They don't do things because they don't want to know.
They they're just better oblivious. They just kind of look
at life where well, if I don't know, I won't
stretch that out it now and I can worry about
it later down the road.

Speaker 2 (02:24:58):
But man, that is a give me a financial death sentence.

Speaker 16 (02:25:01):
Well, I mean, you see the train coming, you're on
the tracks, you know, you might want to do something.

Speaker 2 (02:25:06):
You have a mirror, you're not getting younger, you're correct.

Speaker 16 (02:25:09):
So I just think when I look at this data,
and I say, well, what can we do to help
people feel more comfortable? And one of the things on
this show you have always tried to do is make
people comfortable with the process of finding out.

Speaker 2 (02:25:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 16 (02:25:23):
Right, you shouldn't be intimidated. Nobody should make you feel
bad because you're not where you need to be. In fact,
if everybody could do this on their own and they
were always where they need to be Guys like me
wouldn't have a job right, right, So I'm in favor
of you not knowing, at least for the moment. But
really it's not an intimidating process. And I think again,

(02:25:43):
sitting down even with the yellow pad. I know people
are sick of that comment, but sitting down with the
yellow pad with your spouse or a friend or whoever,
and writing down I have this much money, I save
this much money. I think I need this much in retirement.
That's a really good stick.

Speaker 2 (02:25:56):
Do do people need because we only have a couple
minutes here, but do people need something that happened in
their life to kick start them? Have you noticed that,
like when you when people come in, did they say, hey,
my brother passed away, or my sister got in a
car wreck, or I watched my neighbor. You know, do
some does? Is there a group of people that kind
of need a life event to kind of push them
toward this light or is it just an awakening. Listening

(02:26:19):
to the show for eighteen months, you're hearing you say,
and I know that we experienced that. Right a year later,
you know, you have people coming in and going I've
waited long enough.

Speaker 16 (02:26:28):
That's a typical statement by people who come to us.
I've listened to you carry on for the last year,
and finally I decided to come in. I think, really,
we just have to wear We're just gonna sit here
till we wear everybody down.

Speaker 2 (02:26:38):
Man.

Speaker 3 (02:26:39):
We need some of those testimonials. We need some of
those people who actually said that to you to go
in because you said the one word brother, that I
think is the number one operating word that keeps people
from success like this, and it is intimidation. I think
most of the time people believe that you're gonna look
down their nose. We talk about this with the cigar company.

Speaker 2 (02:26:57):
Oddly enough, all the time, people think when they go in,
if I'm not a season smoker, if I don't know
the lingo, They're gonna make fun of me. They are not.
That's that's not being in. They love that, but I
want it more than anything. The last thing they want
to get. It comes in and thinks they know everything.
They want somebody to come in that's thirsting for knowledge
and that's exactly what you offer.

Speaker 16 (02:27:16):
Yeah, I again, you should. Humility is the big one.
People often ask me what's the number one key to success,
whether that's entrepreneurs or investors. And I will tell you
humility is the number one trait of people who are
successful because they're first of all, they're curious, they're not
above learning something, they don't think they know everything. And
to your point, again, nobody's gonna look badly at you.

(02:27:37):
In fact, if you come in I'm going to applaud
you for taking that first time.

Speaker 2 (02:27:40):
Absolutely.

Speaker 3 (02:27:41):
Scott brown Edgewadourfamilywealth dot Com. Don't forget to get over
there and take that Wealth DNA test, and don't forget
May eighth, Lake Mary Noon, another great seminar coming your
way with an incredible information and a live like breakdown
of what you're going to do on a live planning
we do.

Speaker 16 (02:27:56):
We do live planning and we break we use hypothetical
people obvious, but you can see what it looks like
and how intimidating it is not.

Speaker 2 (02:28:03):
And by the way, that's a free seat. You do
not have to pay anything to know this seminar. As
a matter of fact, they get you a really nice
lunch as well. No hard sells, no, none of that stuff.
They're not really trying to do that at all. What
they're trying to do is enlighten you to the fact
that you can have a life that you didn't think
you could have by just making some simple decisions and
then sticking with it. Yeah.

Speaker 16 (02:28:21):
I again, most of the people who come to our
events are usually not quite ready for us, but in
those that are, obviously we're willing to take in.

Speaker 2 (02:28:29):
But really our goal is to get you to that point. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:28:31):
Fur our seven nine six four one text us seven
seven zero three one back in a second with more
than Jim Colbert show.

Speaker 2 (02:28:37):
Our friends at TK law want to remind us to
look ahead. We will look ahead on Real Radio. Tomorrow
is a Wednesday edition and that means the man himself,
ver a Trendly, will be joining the monsters in the
morning for a part of the show. There'll be a
lot of fun. Check that out and when it comes
time to look ahead for you and your family, just
like we've been talking about with Scott, when it comes
to the world of family law, trust the team at

(02:29:00):
t K Law. Visit one firm for life dot com.

Speaker 12 (02:29:18):
I think you're thinking of crap, Jimmy, maybe so, Buddy blow, Yes,
you can make crack out of blow, but.

Speaker 2 (02:29:27):
Cracks a whole different drug. Right, Thanks buddy, appreciate that
seventies baby.

Speaker 22 (02:29:34):
Hey, guys, the thing about drugs is you can't abuse it.
You need to use them as tools. That's what they're
there for for different reasons. Don't abuse them, use them
when you need them.

Speaker 18 (02:29:45):
Noss out.

Speaker 2 (02:29:47):
I don't own a bird.

Speaker 12 (02:29:48):
I just live out in the woods of Okalla and
these birds go crazy, So I guess I technically do
own a bird, even though they're not chirping right now,
they're looking at Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:30:03):
Got an idea for a new segment, all right, called
It's Only Cocaine. I'm wes well first in though.

Speaker 3 (02:30:13):
Hey, I bet if I walk through this building tomorrow
when all the sales reps are here, all the personalities
are here for the morning shows and stuff. And I
went from person to person and asked, everybody, do you
think cocaine is physically addictive? What do you What percentage
do you think will say yes? If we're breaking that
up into one hundred people, I think seventy five percent

(02:30:34):
or more say yes, cocaine is physically addictive, because that's
what we've been kind of told and shown our entire life.

Speaker 2 (02:30:39):
Is this? I think that's fair? Yeah, I mean, we
all saw scarface. We know, yeah, that's a documentary. Right,
all right, Yes, you're welcome back to the Jim Culbert Show.
We're ready. One to four point one. I'm here, Jack
is here.

Speaker 3 (02:30:50):
Scott Brown of course, still sticking around for a few
minutes at Orderfamilywealth dot com. If you didn't take that
Wealth DNA test, get over there and do that. Man,
it's free, you know, kind of give you some information
about you are and actually kind of almost kind of
give you a jumping point. I mean you again, I
think Scott says it quite well, you may be in
better shape than you think you are.

Speaker 2 (02:31:08):
Right. A lot of times you've said you have people
come in and they're freaking out nervous because they they
listen to their buddy or they hear people at work
talking and they think they're in that position and they
come in and find out, well, they're just fine.

Speaker 16 (02:31:18):
Yeah, I would say that happens more often than not.
I would say it's very rare that somebody comes in
and I'm like, oh, oh, you know, like they come
in all confident I got this, and I'm like, yeah,
not so much. That doesn't happen very often. In fact,
I don't know that that's ever happened. So yeah, nine
times out of ten they're they're in better shape, toy.

Speaker 3 (02:31:35):
And then while you're there taking the Wealthy NA test,
make sure to get your seat over in May eighth
Lake Mary. It's it's twelve o'clock. It is one of
their big seminars coming up. Greg Rosster is going to
be there, lots of questions answered. They'll do a live
breakdown or a live planning right there so you can
see exactly how easy it is and maybe that'll jump
start you into kind of forming your own plan like that,
and I think that'd be wonderful for you. Remember it

(02:31:55):
costs nothing to do that Edgewaterfamilywealth dot Com. All you
have to do is reserve the seat. That's it doesn't
cost a nickel and you get a good lunch. That's
the hard part. Just just make the RSVP and we'll
make the stake.

Speaker 2 (02:32:06):
You got it. Tom and Dan coming in tomorrow, guys,
should be a fun Wednesday. We'll have our normal stuff,
animal House, Scott Maxwell, all kinds of fun stuff coming

Dan have a couple coming up as well. And today
it was in our YouTube chat. Always find that at
Real Radio dot FM slash watch. Do you have health insurance?

Speaker 2 (02:32:49):
We guess. I guess it was gonna be a thirty
three percent. No, is what my guests before we posts.

Speaker 3 (02:32:56):
So we've done something this before, and I get surprised
because I think our audience is I'll go fifty four
percent that has it, yes, that have.

Speaker 16 (02:33:05):
Health interest Yes, So you think forty percent plus don't
have health insurance?

Speaker 2 (02:33:09):
Yes? Wow, Scott, do you started to make a better guess?
I'll say twenty eight percent that have it, that don't
have that don't have it? Yeah, nineteen don't. That means
eighty one percent do have health insurance. That's awesome.

Speaker 3 (02:33:21):
If you read some of the stuff out there in
the world. Believe that man's scared like one and every
you know, yeah, every other person does it.

Speaker 17 (02:33:27):
