Speaker 1 (00:00):
Question came up over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
That is kind of an it's an odd question, but
I think it's kind of interesting. I've heard these kind
of discussions before, and so I brought it to Lulu
this morning. She doesn't even like talking about it, but
I find it interesting because it came up. I was
hanging out with some friends. If you could find out
the actual day you would die? Have you finished a
question of Lulu's shaking her exactly if you could find
(00:24):
out the actual date you would die, would you want
to know? No, what percentage of people do you think
would want because I would think most people would want
to know.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
I don't think so I'm going to say I was
going to say fifty to fifty, but I think it's
just below.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Actually, I don't think most people want to know that.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
What if it's wrong, then you're you're making decisions based
on because you think this date's coming up and you're
going to be gone.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
What if it's wrong? For another thing outside of kind
of freaking out.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Oh, wouldn't freak me out.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
We're all going to die, yes, And I know to
freak you out, we're all I don't want to tell
you that I'm gonna die. You're gonna die? No, okay,
So why would that freak you out?
Speaker 3 (01:04):
I don't want to know. Why would I want to
know that? Live my life going Okay, that's the end date?
Because then what if it isn't the end date and now.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
You've blew your money and you're still around.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Remember they were talking about and I don't know if
it was an actual thing or they were talking about it.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Remember the death clock. Yes, like it was very similar
to this.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
It was a bad movie, is what it is.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Well, it wasn't a movie.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
It's like, if you could get this clock, so that's
kind of the same thing.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
You wouldn't want to know?
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Nope, nope.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
I mean if you could pick the age you would
live to, is there a number that comes to mind?
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Well, you know you want to be healthy and everything.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Well that's the thing.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
You're not going to know that if I could throw
it healthy and just no, you're throwing healthy, Well, then
I don't want to play.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
No, I can't. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
So you don't want to know when you're going to die.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
I would say I'm thinking eighty eighty five, oh eighty
or eighty five.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Coming up close?
Speaker 3 (01:58):
It's coming up on it that far off, it's a while.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
For me, it's fast, it goes fast.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
I don't know I would because I just feel like,
you know, your body starts to break down no matter
how healthy you are, and you're limited. That's why they
say when you get a little bit older, you need
to start doing that stuff that you want to do,
because as you get older, you don't know what.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Kind of shit you might not be able to do it. Yeah, right,
that's the thing.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
So I say seventy five percent of people would want
to know the day they die.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
No way, you say it's like.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
Forty I'll give you like forty five percent.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
What do you think? Yes?
Speaker 2 (02:32):
No, if we could tell you the date you were
going to die? Who keeps making a face?
Speaker 4 (02:37):
She wants to know that?
Speaker 1 (02:39):
You want to know?
Speaker 4 (02:41):
I don't want to know that.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Now, ma'am. What do you say about this? Hello?
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Yes, I would want to know the data I die?
You do?
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Why cause I make them plans?
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Right?
Speaker 4 (02:53):
What if it's wrong?
Speaker 5 (02:54):
Well?
Speaker 6 (02:55):
Was it wrong? At least I got to do what
I wanted to do.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
But what if you go through your money too quick
and now you don't have any money left?
Speaker 4 (03:01):
We make more money Okay.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
The thing is, most people want to leave something for relatives,
So I don't think most people are going to burn
through their money by that.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Date, right.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
They might take people with them that they love, stuff's
on their bucket lists.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
I don't think. Yeah, I don't agree with you on that.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
I wouldn't take anybody with me.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Yeah, I mean, if you've got a partner or something.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
But I'm not bringing a crowd with me, because you've
got to be smart about it.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Crowd.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
No one said a crowd, but the people that you
want to be with. That's saying you invite your friends
unless you're very wealthy.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
I would not advise that's not a good decision.
Speaker 6 (03:33):
Well see, the people that I love have already passed away,
so yeah, I would just be joining them.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Yes see, I agree with you.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
I think most people want to know for the just
the planning purposes.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Yes, have fun, Thanks, thank you.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
For calling you.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Lulu doesn't want to know, she does. I would, would
you if we could figure out a way that you
would know the day you're going to die?
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Would you want to know?
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Every time I ask the question, Lulu makes a face.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Yeah, not into it?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
All right, sir? What about you? Hello, Hi there.
Speaker 6 (04:13):
I was going about the dead date.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
Yeah, So, I mean I agree with Maverick for sure,
because I mean, I want to know when I die.
It's interesting to me why do you want to know?
Speaker 5 (04:24):
Just so if it's limited, times limited and you only
live ones, right, you got to figure out why and
what do you guys do?
Speaker 2 (04:32):
I feel like sometimes we feel like we've got more
time than we do. And I think one of the
things that as you get older, you realize you have
less and less time. Obviously, but are you doing the
things and prioritizing stuff for you that you've wanted to
do because we always think, oh, I'll get to it tomorrow,
whatever it may be. And then sometimes money is a factor.
(04:56):
But are there are other ways to do something where
you can maybe save a little money to prioritize that.
And I think if you were to have that date,
you can make those decisions and you can maybe plan
it out a little better.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Absolutely, Because I have.
Speaker 6 (05:09):
A four year old and a one year old, I
want to know to.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Make sure that they're good to go for the rest
of their lives.
Speaker 6 (05:14):
I know they're going to be successful because they're very
smart kids, but I want to know that they're set up.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
These are the things we should do, even if you
don't know the date you're going to die, because it's
inevitable that we will. Is this my take on it.
And in the words of Tim McGraw, live like you
were dying. I mean, it is a short life and
everything needs to be in order no matter what, and
the end is coming.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
I just don't care to know that date.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Why not.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
I want to just live my life and not go. Okay,
so I got five more years, So let's see what
I don't.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Want to know.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
What if it's next week? Yeah, what it is?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
What if you're planning a trip and you're like, well,
not this year, but next year, and you die next
year a year before the trip.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
The mystery of life. I'm letting the mystery of life
take twice.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
I got I got you on that. We got on
that for sure. Yeah, I got you. I got.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
You're great?
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Hey, thank you for calling man?
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Absolutely, yes, sir, I have a great day.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Yeah, he's like me.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
We wanted would know if we had the option, Lulu
would prefer the mystery of life? Oh yes, So would
you want to know if you had the option to
know the date you were going to die, would you
want to know?
Speaker 4 (06:30):
Hello, Yes, Hi.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
This is Sharon and I wanted to talk to you
about the question. Yeah, I definitely would like to know
when I was going to die.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Absolutely jeezy, I would not Why would you want to know?
Speaker 4 (06:45):
For what reasons?
Speaker 6 (06:47):
Well? This may sound a little weird, but I have
a retirement account, I have a pension, but I'm always
concerned in the back of my by what if, what
if I run out of money? So I'm I constantly
think like that. But if I knew that I was
going to maybe pass away in my seventies or early eighties,
(07:07):
then I feel more relieved. I'd spend more, I'd go
on more vacation. So that really is the main reason.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
Well, I mean I get that I like not knowing.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
I think that I would live my life counting down
the days or you know, that would just be on
my mind. So I would rather just not know, try
to live financially responsible but also enjoy my life.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
And there's different ways of looking at it. I get it.
I think I would think too much about the day
that was coming up that I was going to die.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
And you can't think about it.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
That's the thing. If you know the day you're going
to die. You can't think about it.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
You can try that.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
You try to know the day you're going to die
and not think about that.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
I'm not going to think about it.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
I'm going to think about maximizing my money and my
time during the time I have.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
I'm not going to be caught up on the date
I'm leaving.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Yeah you will.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
No, I'm not.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
I get I would in a million years. Why how
do you know that you don't know if you got
the date. How do you know you.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Wouldn't be thinking about that?
Speaker 4 (08:06):
How you're human? How would you not think about that?
Speaker 5 (08:08):
Well?
Speaker 2 (08:09):
I would think about it in the sense of planning
stuff up until that time. He'd be like, hey, Chris,
you know we haven't gotten together and I've only got
about thirty days left.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
We got to get it in.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Oh boy, that's the way I would look at it.
Speaker 6 (08:22):
Yeah, I get it. I mean I understand LOUI too,
I get it.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Yeah, you overthink things, Lulu, I.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
Don't want to think about that.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
I don't know if you knew the date you would
overthink about.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
I don't think there's anybody who wouldn't overthink about that.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
You would to you just said you're going to make plans.
You got to make plans for that.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Like the day before I'd have my going home party.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
I don't believe it. Nope. I don't think anybody who
knows all going to die. Yes, but the whole idea is,
if you know the date.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Want a hell of a bash on the way out?
Speaker 6 (08:54):
Man.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Yeah, you say that, right, Sharon, that's right chairs you.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Hey, Sharon, thank you for calling you too. Would you
want to know and know?
Speaker 2 (09:10):
I wouldn't be caught up on the date, but I'd
plan around the date. Would you be caught up on
the date you're going to die or just be able
to plan around it?
Speaker 1 (09:18):
I'd want to know. Wouldn't you want to know?
Speaker 4 (09:20):
Or you with Lulu three one?
Speaker 2 (09:23):
If we could wave a wand and let you know
the date you were going to die, would you want
that information? No, we're asking you, hello baby, good morning morning.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
Yeah. On your question about dying, I would definitely want
to know when I'm gonna die. That would be outstanding
if you could find that out.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Yes, I agree with you.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
I don't get it.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
One.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
I'd even pay for it.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
I would too. Yeah, I mean if that was something,
especially if I.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Could use my HSA money absolutely, and your retirement funds.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
Yeah, do stuff that you want to do exactly. I
would love to know when that's going to happen.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Well, hopefully there's the way you can find out. Then
for sure, there is no way.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
There is no way to find out.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Well, right, because it could be wrong too.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
You know, if you if you knew if somebody said
this was gonna die, and if you know that it's
going to be true, then you start doing things accordingly.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
Right, Yeah, yep, no, thanks, that's sold all right?
Speaker 5 (10:23):
All right?
Speaker 4 (10:25):
Yeah, hey, thank you.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
You're so worried it's going to be wrong though. That's
the interesting part.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
I just don't even want to know either.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Why wouldn't you want to know that?
Speaker 4 (10:35):
I don't want to know.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
I would definitely pay for it, sir. You bring up
an excellent point. What percentage of people do you think
would pay if they could pay for that?
Speaker 4 (10:43):
I don't know. I'm surprised by anybody wants to know.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
So it's.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Because then if it was wrong, I would be mad
if I'm paying for it.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Yeah, that
