0:00
Speaker 1: That was going on as Romeo. We talked a lot
0:02
today about your dogs, how you ended up with them.
0:05
We asked, we asked for something. You ever asked for
0:08
something and got it? You never know, you're just surprised. Well,
0:11
you got to ask if you're gonna find out right?
0:13
And then poor foods. We're talking about poor foods as well.
0:16
So also we talked about a girl decided she didn't
0:19
want to go to a college even though her parents
0:20
had planned for it her whole life. So we got
0:22
a lot to get into. Let's check it out. Let
0:25
me ask you guys this about your marriages. And I
0:29
never I really don't understand this. A friend of mine,
0:33
so yesterday I was coming home from the golf course
0:38
and on when I was driving home, there was this
0:41
little puppy in the bushes that I saw on the
0:44
side of the road. So I don't know if somebody
0:47
left the dog there, I got lost or whatever. It was, right,
0:50
So I pulled over. The little dog didn't run for me.
0:52
It came right to me. When I went to get it.
0:55
I threw it in my car and I took it home.
0:59
What am I gonna leave a little puppy there? So
1:00
I took it to the house. Well, I send out
1:02
a picture to my friends. You guys all probably do this. Hey,
1:06
I found this dog. Anybody want a dog? Anybody want
1:10
to take it home? Another friend of mine that I
1:14
sent the photo to has a couple of daughters, and
1:17
he says, I'll take it. Yeah, let me come by
1:20
and get it. He gets off work, come by, picks
1:23
it up, goes home, right, I mean, he calls me
1:30
about a half hour later and he says, hey, man,
1:32
can I bring the dog back? My wife said, my
1:35
wife said we can't have it. And I thought, who's
1:40
your wife to tell you you can't have a dog?
1:44
Who's your wife to tell? I mean, really, I bet
1:48
if your wife brought home a dog, it would be okay.
1:52
But I know, I don't understand some of the dynamics
1:58
that you have with your spouse. You can't like I
2:02
have a buddy who said, who if he's gonna spend
2:04
over one hundred bucks, he has to tell his wife
2:08
he works. She works. I mean the buddy that picked
2:13
up the puppy is. They both got great jobs. They
2:16
live in a great neighborhood, They have plenty of room
2:18
for the dog. They have a couple of little girls
2:19
that are going to take care of them the dog.
2:21
I mean, it's just the logic I don't get it.
2:27
Is it that you just want you just got a
2:29
power trip, You're just your ego has to check your
2:32
spouse once in a while, or how does that exactly work?
2:36
By the way, they kept the dog. Okay, if the
2:38
dog's not going anywhere the little girls, uh yeah, maybe
2:42
the little girls convinced the mom or whatever the case
2:44
may be. But the dog, the puppy is staying, has
2:46
a home.
2:47
Speaker 2: Now.
2:48
Speaker 1: My point though, is who is your spouse to tell
2:51
you you can't do something, especially something like that if
2:56
you want to go buy something, and then why why
3:00
can't you? I mean, it just seems absurd to me
3:05
that this happened yesterday already four two, five, four or
3:09
seven and seven? Why do you do that? Why do
3:10
you tell your spouse they can't do something, especially something
3:14
so ridiculous like bringing home a puppy, or or are
3:17
spending more than one hundred dollars or you know, buying
3:20
whatever you want to buy. Why I don't get the
3:27
logic behind that. Why do you do it?
3:30
Speaker 3: So?
3:30
Speaker 1: Buddy of mine, I found a little puppy yesterday on
3:33
my way home, on my way home from the golf course,
3:35
and I put it out there. All my friends asked
3:38
if anybody wanted a dog, you know, anybody would take
3:40
care of it looking for it, and usually you can
3:42
find somebody, right. Well, friend of mine did, and what
3:46
happens is is he calls me after he picks up
3:48
the dog and he says, oh, my wife said we
3:52
can't have it. And I was like, well, who's your
3:54
wife to tell you? You're a grown man with a job
3:57
with a family. I mean, well, I don't understand the
4:02
logic behind that, where your spouse gets to dictate certain
4:06
things to you. I don't understand that already. Four two
4:09
five four or seven to seven eight Romeo, I gotta
4:13
tell you a funny story about my spouse. My wife
4:15
comes home one day and I had just bought a
4:19
brand new TV for the living room. She told me
4:23
to take it back because we didn't need it. And
4:26
I thought, that's what I'm saying, What what?
4:31
Speaker 3: What?
4:31
Speaker 1: You can't buy a TV? Good morning?
4:32
Speaker 2: How?
4:32
Speaker 1: What's going on?
4:34
Speaker 2: Hey? What's up wrong?
4:35
Speaker 1: Hey?
4:35
Speaker 4: What?
4:36
Speaker 1: Man?
4:37
Speaker 3: I turned trying to get mad at me one time
4:39
because I brought these thoughts.
4:41
Speaker 2: You know what, I'll be damn with my wife and
4:43
to tell you what I could bring or can I
4:44
be exactly? You know what I mean? I got now,
4:47
I got dogs and a cat.
4:49
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, it's just so silly that they're certa.
4:55
Speaker 2: I just, uh, yeah, I'm I'm had your boy keet
5:00
that doctor. If not, he would have fell in that
5:02
sucker category. So he did it, so I'm proud of it.
5:05
Speaker 1: That's just crazy. I just don't get where these uh
5:08
and it's probably I.
5:09
Speaker 3: Don't know, well you know what the technic is. Kind
5:12
of when you said it, well, that kind of made
5:13
me think like when you're a little kid and you
5:15
show up with the doctor your parents and they're like, no, no,
5:17
you can't keep Hey, I'm sorry, do you tell your
5:20
parents I can't keep the dog?
5:21
Speaker 2: My mama? Dad says, you know what I mean, that's
5:23
what it fell. Tells me like it was mama talking.
5:26
Speaker 1: Could be I don't know. That's just crazy to me,
5:28
all right, man, I just don't get it out. Because
5:31
I had a guy. It was funny because I was
5:33
playing golf with the guy. This was last year sometime
5:37
and his him and his wife's credit cards. Apparently she
5:40
didn't work, so she went and bought some patio furniture.
5:43
And it popped up while we're playing golf, and he's like,
5:47
oh my gosh, she bought predial furniture. She can't do that.
5:49
I gotta, I gotta take care of this. And I'm like, dude,
5:52
it's it's Thursday at eleven am. You're out here playing
5:56
golf instead of working. She doesn't know that, but yet
6:00
you're gonna tell her she can't buy something for her patio.
6:03
I mean, there are a whole lot of things out
6:06
there that you guys need to reevaluate that you're getting
6:09
upset about. You know already four two five four or
6:13
seven to seven, go burn to help.
6:15
Speaker 4: What's going on, Romeo. There are some things that we
6:18
will never understand. But yeah, that's just the way it is.
6:21
Speaker 5: And that's one of them. What you're explaining right now.
6:26
What you've never heard. The term a happy wife, happy
6:30
life literally.
6:31
Speaker 1: The stupidest term I've ever heard, you know, because if
6:35
you actually, if you actually follow that policy, you're with
6:39
the wrong woman.
6:41
Speaker 4: Well well I never knew, you know, it was the truth.
6:44
And tell let me give you an example So if
6:46
you ever wonder who runs the household, take for instance,
6:50
me and my wife to fight, me argue, she's mad
6:52
at me, and she tries to get some from me.
6:54
I've never said no. I give in very quickly and.
6:57
Speaker 5: Be like, okay, I forget about her argument.
7:00
Speaker 4: If she's upsit and I try to get some, I
7:03
might have to wait a month.
7:04
Speaker 1: If that's your determining factor that you're you're with a
7:09
pathetic woman. If that's and if you're that's you're determining
7:12
factor on life, you're a moron.
7:14
Speaker 2: They're all they're all like that.
7:16
Speaker 4: So unless you, you know, change your ways and make
7:19
her happy, life is going to be miserable. I'm just
7:22
telling you. Ask anybody that's married, okay.
7:24
Speaker 1: All right them, I'll ask them all right now, all right.
7:27
But that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard, by the way,
7:31
and a lot of you guys feel like greater Dave,
7:33
happy wife, happy lives. You're that. If I got to
7:36
live my life like that, then what kind of life
7:40
are you really living? What kind of relationship are you
7:42
really in? You're married to some selfish woman who only
7:46
thinks about herself. That's just ridiculous. But I know you
7:50
guys are that stupid. I know you guys are that
7:53
stupid already fourteen, five, four or seven to seven year
7:56
wrong about the dogs. She's probably the one taking care
7:58
of the dogs, not him. Maybe, I mean, I I
8:05
don't think so. In fact, I know that's not the case.
8:08
But yeah, I just, I just it's letting your spouse
8:15
dictate what you can and can't do in your home
8:20
is absurd to me, and I just like Raider Dave,
8:25
I feel sorry. I feel so. I actually feel sorry
8:28
for Raider Dave's marriage if he if he truly believes
8:31
what he just told me, Boy, what kind of what
8:34
kind of life is that to lead?
8:35
Speaker 3: All?
8:36
Speaker 1: Right? This idea that your spouse can tell you no,
8:41
And there's certain things right the extremes. But if you
8:45
want to go buy a new TV, you want to
8:47
go bring a dog home, and you have to ask
8:50
your spouse for permission before you can do that, what
8:53
you you should not Your spouse should not be able
8:57
to tell you no when it comes something you want
9:00
to do at home. What is you're a grown adult?
9:04
What kind of relationship are you in? Raider Dave's over
9:08
here saying happy wife, Happy life. Why would a man
9:12
follow that rule and be miserable? Why would you do that? Already?
9:18
Four two five four or seven A seven? Hey Rome,
9:21
I want to tell me, Tuck, my husband said no,
9:23
but but yet he's getting his old truck done up.
9:29
But that okay? So what why does he get to
9:32
say no? There's another great example. If you want it,
9:36
go get it. Why does he get to tell you? You, guys,
9:41
in these marriages, you're supposed to be equals, not a
9:45
parent child relationship. So what gives him the right to
9:49
tell you no? Just go do it? You know what
9:54
I'm saying? Already four two five, four seven A seven?
9:57
Hey Romio, I'm just gonna start off by telling you
10:02
I got three girlfriends. All four of us are really hot.
10:06
We work out together. I would say, we're all tense.
10:10
Now they are all married to They are all married
10:16
to hot guys and have a lot of problems in
10:19
their marriage. I think it's a bunch of egos. I
10:25
think it's a bunch of egos battling with each other. Oh,
10:30
I see what you're saying. Okay, so they're bumping heads,
10:33
egos bumpingheads. My husband's probably a six. So my husband
10:39
loves me so much. Because he's got a hot woman
10:41
by his side, he does whatever I want, and because
10:46
of that, I let him do whatever he wants. So
10:50
maybe some of these people need to look at it
10:51
that way. Rome. It's not about happy wife, happy life,
10:56
It's about he allows me, so I allow him. Oh yeah,
11:01
if he's a six and you're a ten and you
11:03
still working on yourself, ain't nobody gonna throw that away.
11:06
Ain't no six thrown away a ten?
11:08
Speaker 2: All right?
11:09
Speaker 1: Arey for you? Five? For seven to seven? I was
11:12
just backsucker again.
11:13
Speaker 5: I'm what you're in your on the radios.
11:14
Speaker 6: I heard everything, so I know what you druk about
11:16
out like, but I ever time to go out.
11:20
Speaker 2: I like to drink.
11:21
Speaker 4: Oh, I like to drink.
11:22
Speaker 1: Some huss always like, no, you can't always to.
11:24
Speaker 4: Drin dream you can't always drink drinking.
11:26
Speaker 1: We go and I go, okay, then I want drink
11:27
wall I'll just get drunk at home and then when
11:29
you drive, I'm just go with you.
11:31
Speaker 4: So that way, no, I don't have to drink in
11:33
my mouth.
11:33
Speaker 6: I have already drunk.
11:36
Speaker 1: I think the idea. I think the idea is publicly
11:39
when you're drunk you're a jackass, so he doesn't want
11:42
you out drunk, regardless of where you get drunk.
11:45
Speaker 4: At because I do drink a lot of home. I
11:48
don't drink you. I don't drink you drive so that
11:51
way when I know he's driving.
11:52
Speaker 1: What are you on this morning? You're talking, You're all
11:55
over the places, cluzzy.
12:00
Speaker 2: My god, I.
12:01
Speaker 1: Don't get at it. Boy, she's everywhere about Oh my gosh,
12:05
all any four two fop four or seven to seven?
12:10
Why did you send me here?
12:14
Speaker 2: Uh?
12:15
Speaker 1: What? Why is this not working now? My text message
12:17
stuff is not working already? All right? Anyway alr any
12:19
four two five four or seven to seven? Like I said,
12:23
you're a grown adult, right your spouse should not be
12:26
able should not be dictating what you do or don't
12:30
do in your own home. To be honest with you,
12:32
I mean with the it just if you want to
12:34
buy a new TV, then you should be able to
12:36
do that. Yeah, I don't know. I just hey, Romeo,
12:45
I hear nos sometimes when I turn when I turn
12:48
around and I hear go, and I'm on my way.
12:52
Well yeah, like if you it's just what kind of
12:56
relationship are you really in? Seriously? What kind of relationship
12:59
are you really what kind of marriage are you really in?
13:02
If that's what's happening, you know, where you can't do
13:05
something so simple as you know, I don't know, find
13:08
a lost puppy and bring it home already four two five, four,
13:12
seven to seven. Hey roll, Hey, I'm married. And my
13:14
wife heard that and said she sounds like a bee.
13:17
Oh the yeah, not yeah. The dog thing. For those
13:20
who either missed it or just missed what we were
13:22
talking about earlier, I found a dog and I called
13:26
a buddy of mine and he said he'd take it,
13:29
you know, So he took it home to his girls,
13:31
his daughters, and the mom said, the wife said, he
13:33
called me back to his wife said he couldn't keep it,
13:37
which is, well, how do you let your wife tell
13:39
you that you're a grown man with a job, and
13:42
you take care of a household, you should definitely be
13:45
able to bring home something if you want to already
13:48
four two five, four or seven to seven. E Romeo,
13:51
I was listening to you talk about bringing home the dogs.
13:53
We'll check this out. About a month ago, I found
13:57
a couple of bigger dogs just wandering the shs, so
14:00
I grabbed him up threw him in the backyard. My
14:04
wife came home and I told her what happened. She said, oh,
14:07
what are you going to do? I said? I said,
14:09
I think I'm just gonna keep them as outside dogs.
14:13
We have a big yard. I can build them a house.
14:16
Everything will be good. My wife said we can't do
14:20
that because we have three inside dogs, and that the
14:24
two outside dogs would get jealous. So my wife said
14:29
I had to get rid of them. Check it out room.
14:38
Oh god, that's funny, he said, check it out room.
14:41
I told her, no, kept the dogs. Now I have
14:43
five inside dogs. Oh that's hilarious. Yeah, why would you?
14:52
Why can't you have an out if you have a
14:55
nice backyard, you know, if you can keep them, you know,
14:58
get them a nice dog. Why can't you have dogs?
15:01
Dogs don't get jealous. What are you talking about? You
15:05
think you think the outside dogs get jealous of the
15:08
inside dogs. Come on, man, they're just happy. If you
15:13
find two dogs running the streets, don't you think that
15:17
they are better off in your backyard with a doghouse
15:21
and food and shelter than they are running the streets.
15:24
Who cares that they can't come into the house. I
15:25
bet they don't ALRIGHTY four two seven to seven, all right,
15:31
would you send me here? Hey, Romeo, check this out.
15:35
My wife believes that every dog that we've ever found
15:40
was meant to live with us. She believes that every
15:43
animal will find a home and that's how life works.
15:49
So we have four dog My wife found them all
15:52
just on a road side or someplace like that.
15:55
Speaker 2: Wow.
15:56
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if I disagree with that.
15:59
I kind of believe that because I got a cat,
16:02
I got the I got a couple of animals. I've
16:04
had an animal that somebody found on the side of
16:08
the road, brought it to the station and ended up
16:11
taking it. I ended up taking it home with me.
16:13
I had a cat that came up when it was
16:15
a kitten just to my doorstep and didn't leave. So
16:19
that leaves me So maybe let be right about that.
16:22
I mean, there might be some validity. Did animal it
16:25
was meant to be? Right? You guys believe that. I
16:29
believe your animals you were meant to.
16:30
Speaker 4: Have Themmeo, that is not entirely true.
16:34
Speaker 2: What's that about the dogs?
16:36
Speaker 1: You know?
16:36
Speaker 5: I have a terrier blchwaha terrier that's an inside dog.
16:41
She's very very spoiled.
16:43
Speaker 2: So my wife said, oh, if.
16:44
Speaker 5: You're kidding now lonely, we need to get her a friend.
16:48
So I rescued a little pitbull from the streets.
16:51
Speaker 1: How did you rescue it from the streets? What do
16:53
you mean you found it or you?
16:55
Speaker 5: Well, somebody sold it to my wife and told her
16:58
it was an apple hitch wall, And as soon as
17:02
she's ride it home, I knew, okay, that's pet bull.
17:04
She's like no. I would sit out on the street
17:06
and I bothered her twenty five dollars, and sure enough,
17:10
the dog turned into a big old pit bull. But
17:13
but she was raised by the terrier, and I built
17:18
her the pit bull house outside. I try to keep
17:21
her outside, but she did not want to be outside.
17:24
She'd think she's shahuahua, think she's a terrier. She wants
17:27
to be inside. She's very blougy. She does not want
17:31
to be outside. The terrier don't doesn't go outside, so
17:34
the pit bull doesn't want to go outside. So now
17:36
I got two dogs that want to jump in bed
17:37
and want to act like a little dogs.
17:40
Speaker 1: But that's because you don't. You didn't leave it outside
17:42
to begin with.
17:43
Speaker 5: But I feel that because the terrier goes by the
17:46
door and kind of teethes her and like put your
17:49
pail at her and let her know that you you're outside.
17:51
Speaker 2: And I'm inside.
17:53
Speaker 5: The pit bull will cry until I opened the door
17:57
and let her in. She's really changed. She shifts down
17:59
on her brother and everything.
18:00
Speaker 1: But that's because you're a sucker.
18:05
Speaker 5: I love the animals, so I can't leave one of
18:07
them outside and one of them inside. That's just not right.
18:10
Speaker 1: You can, though, if you have two, If you have
18:13
two big dogs, they can live outside.
18:17
Speaker 5: Yeah, she's just one big dog, but she thinks she's
18:20
a little dog.
18:20
Speaker 1: Well, you can't leave one dog outside by itself. That's
18:23
just me if you if you had two big dogs
18:26
outside that you picked up today and had of a doghouse,
18:30
they'd be fine.
18:32
Speaker 2: I'm gonna try that.
18:32
Speaker 5: Maybe I'll get another big dogs outside.
18:35
Speaker 1: You you have three dogs, No, you gotta have You
18:38
can't put the other one outside after I already lived inside.
18:41
Speaker 5: Yeah, because she does not like your she'll skip by
18:44
the door. The terrier will do circle by the door
18:46
set until I let her in.
18:47
Speaker 1: Exactly. You can't do that now. Now you're stuck.
18:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm stuck.
18:53
Speaker 1: Right later, you can't. You gotta have rules from the beginning.
18:58
You train your dogs. But like the guy said, if his,
19:03
if his, the dogs don't get jealous of each other.
19:07
I don't think. But if you had two bigger dogs
19:10
that you just let them live outside that was there,
19:13
that was where they lived. You get them a dog house,
19:15
you get them whatever they need to be, you know,
19:17
to be safe and comfortable. Then they'll be fine outside
19:21
and the little dogs can live inside. The problem is,
19:24
you know who other dogs don't get jealous. It's the
19:27
humans who can't handle it. Just like Greater Dave, it's
19:29
too sad, oh to be sad if our dog. If
19:32
we have dogs outside and inside, you can have inside
19:34
dogs and outside dogs. That's uh, you know all right?
19:39
Eight four two five four seven seven. The better question, though,
19:43
is do you believe your animals? Animal animals were meant
19:48
to be with you? You know, do you believe that
19:54
that you I mean, everybody's got to have a story.
19:56
I have a cat. I have a story about a cat.
19:58
Actually I have two stories about and the animals that
20:00
I've had, uh well three uh one I went to
20:05
I guess, yeah, they had this this dog I wanted
20:09
and so many people wanted this dog. The SBCA had
20:15
had said you have to come and bid on it. Well,
20:17
I lost the bid for the dog, and immediately this
20:22
other dog came running to me and took it home
20:24
because it just like it was like I was supposed
20:27
to lose the bid for the dog that I wanted,
20:30
because this dog was coming home with me, just like
20:34
the cat. This little kitten that came to my door
20:37
sat at my door for two days until I finally
20:39
threw it in the backyard and fed it, and now
20:43
it lives in the house. So sometimes you just gotta
20:47
think these animals know what they're doing. They really do
20:50
already four two five four seven to seven. So do
20:53
you guys think that, uh, your animals, you were meant
20:56
to have your animals, They just, I mean, everybody's gotta
20:58
have some crazy story about it handed how they ended
21:01
up with you know, a dog, a cat or whatever,
21:04
you know, and they were just meant to be. Animals
21:07
find their homes. I think animals do. I actually believe
21:10
that somebody said that text of that earlier. I actually
21:13
believe that an animal will find the person that they're
21:16
supposed to be with already four two pot four or
21:18
seven to seven, Rome, we have had three dogs and
21:22
two cats, and all of them were all other people's animals.
21:26
They couldn't keep, and we took in or they would
21:30
have had to go to the pound. But I don't
21:33
want any more. But I mean you say that, right,
21:42
you say you don't want any You don't want any more.
21:44
You don't want you know, this is the last lesson?
21:48
How come they keep showing up? How come there's some
21:51
sort of circumstance that always arises where you end up
21:57
with an animal. Now, one could argue, I'll argue that
22:04
what I'm talking about is not real. The animal didn't
22:07
find you. You're just such a good person that you. Uh,
22:14
that's how you had nothing to do with the animal
22:16
just has has to do with your personality. Is a
22:18
good person, right, a good, loving, caring person who likes animals?
22:23
You know, I don't know. Would you text me here? Hey, Rome,
22:27
when are you gonna start giving out those Mac and
22:29
Cheese fest tickets? When is the mac and cheese FETs?
22:33
That's two weeks from now, three weeks from now, it's
22:35
the ninth May night? Is that right?
22:39
Speaker 5: Uh?
22:39
Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll give them out soon. Just uh, yeah,
22:42
probably the week before. It's a couple of weeks away.
22:44
Keep listening. I'm sure we'll give some away. Morry, not
22:46
what's going on?
22:48
Speaker 2: You're roan. What about all the money you spent on
22:50
your dogs too, the ones you.
22:52
Speaker 1: Rescue, you know, you know? And I took that cat,
22:56
that cat that I ended up, and I took it
22:58
to get it fixed because it was a boy. They
23:00
wanted to run some something on it that to pretest
23:05
it if it might get some sort of cancer or something.
23:07
Thirty years from now or twenty years from now. Yeah,
23:11
they get you.
23:13
Speaker 2: Oh man, my my my son had found this dog.
23:17
It was probably like six months ago. Hey dad, can
23:20
you just like house train it? You're good at it,
23:23
and then I'll give it away.
23:24
Speaker 3: I was like yeah, and I that dog made me
23:28
fall for it.
23:30
Speaker 2: That's where me and then and then the bad thing
23:35
was I had it for like fourteen years and then
23:37
she got diabetes.
23:39
Speaker 3: Dude.
23:39
Speaker 2: I had to take yeah driver to watch go once
23:43
a month, shote to day and then I lost her
23:48
about two months. Good. I cried like a bang for
23:51
three days.
23:52
Speaker 1: That's what that's rough.
23:55
Speaker 3: It was tough, man, But yeah, it's the money you too,
23:58
you put it, I.
24:01
Speaker 2: Jo Rome. We were talking about being poor yesterday.
24:04
Speaker 4: Yeah, what's your favorite poor food?
24:07
Speaker 1: Mine?
24:08
Speaker 2: You got one?
24:10
Speaker 1: Oh man? I used to eat rice and chili beans
24:14
with crackers. Uh huh that was that wasn't bad. Or
24:18
refried bean tacos, you know, just refried beans, and because
24:22
I couldn't afford meat, so refried beans and tacos. That
24:25
was what I was feeling.
24:28
Speaker 2: Flower tortilla with miracle with.
24:33
Speaker 3: We were so we were traveling, play ball, dude, and
24:36
we'd be like we would have to do with And.
24:39
Speaker 4: I still, dude, I still got that urge once in
24:41
a while be watching.
24:42
Speaker 1: That would make me a tortilla miracle with. You know what,
24:45
I wonder why. I wonder why. I mean I grew
24:48
up eating flower tortillas with with butter on them, and
24:52
I don't know why I don't eat that no more.
24:54
I haven't had one of those in probably thirty years.
24:57
Speaker 2: I have would just go back to your when you're
25:00
a little.
25:00
Speaker 1: Kid, like, yeah, that's crazy, all right.
25:04
Speaker 2: All right, Hey what's up kids with butter? Yeah? They
25:11
used to give us a set of getting up like
25:14
a jelly town, which we would get a jelly flower
25:16
to kill with butter.
25:17
Speaker 1: Oh god, that's nasty.
25:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, like you said, bro I haven't had that just
25:21
out as a kid.
25:23
Speaker 1: That sounds terrible, all right, but it.
25:25
Speaker 2: Fills the valley up, you know what I mean. When
25:27
you broke, you broke.
25:28
Speaker 1: When you broke, you broke. You know it's funny. We
25:33
were talking about eating the gosh gosh, when we're just broke, broke, man,
25:37
how would you eat, you know, poor foods we used to.
25:43
I'm trying to think what else I used to eat
25:46
rice with chili beans on it. Rice was pasta, Pasta
25:50
was cheap. I think we would eat pasta, but you know,
25:53
by a jar sauce and a pasta that would go
25:58
a long way. Trying to think what else we ate
26:00
when we had no money? My favorite poor food? I
26:06
don't know. You know what's funny about I will tell
26:08
you something funny though about about poor food. What you
26:12
eat when you were when you were broke. Carnia soada
26:18
asada used to be uh rich for me, like, and
26:24
that was when it was like ninety nine cents. This was,
26:26
you know, twenty five years ago. Now it's way expensive,
26:31
but uh that used to be you know, something that
26:35
was like and it's still and it was still poor
26:37
back then, but it was still the poorest meat you
26:41
can buy back when I was really broke. But yeah,
26:45
that was a luxury for me already four two or
26:49
as Evans evan, what was your favorite poor food? What
26:51
did you guys eat when you were broke?
26:54
Speaker 2: From It's up, Well.
26:57
Speaker 4: I grew up in a middle family.
27:02
Speaker 6: Now that I you know, now that I'm older as
27:05
an adult thinking back, was like, yeah, time tack has
27:08
been hard because I remember my mom at multiple times
27:13
making it, uh, the big Swanson family meals like the
27:18
Southberry steak or the turkey and gravy or whatever it was,
27:23
making the siges with it, like mashed potatoes and toast
27:27
the spread and make like the open face sandwiches. Like
27:31
we thought that it was just like you know, this
27:34
expensive bond meal almost like you know Thanksgivings now too,
27:41
Like we must have been having a hard that we
27:44
was all, you know, the whole eating the swamps and
27:47
tini dinner.
27:52
Speaker 1: That's pretty funny.
27:57
Speaker 5: I had no idea, Right, that's great.
28:01
Speaker 1: Hey, thanks you for calling, right all right? Eight four two,
28:06

28:24
hamburger meat with potato tacos. Hamburger meat with potato tacos.
28:30
I never had that, You know that. This is kind
28:33
of funny. It was broke. We didn't get hamburger meat,
28:35
but we got uh, we got refried bean tacos. By
28:40
the way, those are delicious. I still make those today,
28:43
refried bean tacos. But that's what we ate when we
28:46
were port too. That was funny. Bread butter sugar put
28:50
in the bottom of the oven and toasted bread butter sugar. Wow,
28:56
all right, Rome chili kila is Rome favorite. Some some
29:00
stale tortillas chili sauce. Now you're looking at seventeen dollars
29:04
a plate. You ain't lying. Go give me some chillik
29:10

had no money. Oh man, that's awesome, funny how that works.
29:22
So all the poor food that we ate is now
29:26

30:34
Speaker 5: Many Romeo. My mom used to do the coolest struggle meals.
30:40
We were top Roman type of family.
30:43
Speaker 6: Okay, every night, different flavors because we thought, you know,
30:47
we got the Breton pack it was cool and we
30:48
thought we was really expensive when it came in a cup.
30:51
Speaker 2: Once a couple of middle came out to our house.
30:54
Speaker 5: Oh my god, we thought we were fancy.
30:57
Speaker 4: And my mom is Asian, so she'll chop up some
30:59
onion and make it look like, you.

Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. That's great though. That's a good mom.
31:09
That's a good mom. That's awesome. That's awesome. Thanks for calling.
31:14
All right, I remember that Top bram and I had
31:17
to live off Top Brahma for a while. Yeah, that
31:20
little flavor packet. Boy, you knew you was broke when
31:23
you was h but it was good. Top Braman was
31:25
good already four two five, four seven to seven. Do
31:28
you guys ever have uh crackers in butter? Do you
31:32
guys ever eat that? That was another thing we had
31:35
to eat when it was poor, Uh crackers with butter
31:38
on them. Sometimes sometimes we get jelly, but but not
31:42
very often. Already four two, five, fours seven seven. Let's
31:46
see what you sent me here? Hey, rom a burnt
31:52
burnt baloney or a hot dog weenie on the stove
31:58
in burning the Oh yeah, I had to eat hot
32:01
dogs before. My poor food is marachan Moroccan. What is that?
32:07
I don't know what that is. It looks familiar, but
32:10
I don't know what it is. All right, what'd you
32:11
guys eat? What was your poor food or struggle meal?
32:15
I like what she said, struggle meal. Oh, we're talking
32:17
about those broke foods. I like the way the other
32:20
lady pushed. He said, those struggle meals, you know, back
32:23
in the day, or maybe now you gotta eat, you
32:25
gotta eat already. Four two five four seven to seven.
32:30
Hey Romeo, I love your station. I remember we used
32:33
to cut a three l Solda bottle put cereal in
32:38
it and did not have milk, so we used water.
32:42
Speaker 5: Oh my god.
32:44
Speaker 1: I can honestly say, one thing I never had to
32:47
do is eat cereal with water. That is one thing
32:52
I can tell you that I've never had to do.
32:55
Already four two five, four seven to seven. Roman. I
32:58
was younger, fourteen to fifteen. My mom would leave me
33:01
home alone with nothing in the fridge, so I'd eat
33:04
lettuce and lemon juice. I weighed like ninety pounds, but
33:08
I ate, you know, I want to say something about that.
33:17
You know there, you know, we look at we look
33:19
at you look at people sometimes today, and I think
33:23
this is really important. You look at some people today
33:26
and they grew up with struggle meals, right, and they
33:30
come up a little bit, they get them a good job,
33:32
they start making a little money. Then everybody talks about well, man,
33:36
look how much way you put on. Well, that's because
33:38
you can eat now. I think there's something to that.
33:41
When you grow up poor and everybody you know you
33:44
got no food, so you ninety pounds, but you start
33:47
making a little cheddar and then all of a sudden
33:49
you want to buy cheddar because you can't eat. I mean,
33:52
there ain't nothing wrong with that. Hey, Rome, what do
33:54
you got here?
33:56
Speaker 2: Yo?
33:57
Speaker 1: Hey yo? Roam some top ramen with cheese and ham
34:00
or chie turns and if you want to be extra fancy,
34:04
slap on some bread and have a sandwich. But that
34:07
was usually something you do when mom wasn't there because
34:11
we was using too much ingredients. After that, I thought
34:16
you was going to say that's what you do when
34:17
company comes over. He's talking about those struggle meals you
34:22
know back in the day or maybe today. You know,
34:25
we ain't got a lot of money. So how are
34:26
we eating? What are you eating? What was your favorite?
34:29
They weren't all bad, by the way, poor foods, poor meals,
34:33
struggle meals, whatever you want to call them, they weren't
34:35
all bad. A lot of it was actually pretty tasty.
34:40
Already poured two pot or seven seven. I just tuned
34:43
in Rome. How about kick cereal and powdered milk? Oh?
34:47
I never had that? That top ramin recipe is a
34:51
prison cuisine. Okay, okay? What about what about that mac
34:59
and cheese?
35:00
Speaker 3: That?
35:00
Speaker 1: Uh, that krab mac and cheese? That was kind of
35:04
a poor food. I remembers eating that hamburger helper without
35:07
no hamburger, you remember that. Gosh, big boy just made
35:12
me think of something and I forgot. I forgot what
35:15
it was that I was going to say about poor food?
35:20
He yo, Rome, is this topic going?
35:23
Speaker 3: Uh uh?
35:23
Speaker 1: Let's see as this topic is going. I was taking
35:28
my kid to school. My son, who was fourteen, is listening, saying, Dad,
35:31
we have all we have all these and they're bomb
35:36
and they're making fun of them. I told him, you're
35:40
the broke food I told him, they're the broke food.
35:44
That's what you're that's what you eat when you ain't
35:47
got no money. He looked at me and said, what
35:49
we What are we broke? I said, no, I'm broke.
35:53
You're just going to enjoy being broke with me. We
35:58
really but when we have some steak, he appreciates it
36:03
much more. I told him, in ten years, when you
36:06
got to stock your own food, you will understand and
36:09
thank me for all these bomb expensive foods. Oh that's great,
36:16
because I'm confusing the kid. Huh. All right, So we
36:18
were talking about ridder. Joe was asking about my favorite
36:23
poor food because we grew up poor. We you know,
36:25
a lot of us grow poor. Now. That doesn't mean
36:30
all of us have money now. It just means that
36:33
we had to live that life for a little while.
36:35
Maybe we can eat a little better now, but it's
36:37
not the reason I want to say this is some
36:43
guy said he's driving his kids to School's fourteen year
36:45
old and the kid was saying that, Dad, those are
36:47
all the foods that we got and they're making fun
36:50
of it, and we're not making fun of it because
36:53
we're just saying we had to live it and now
36:55
he's trying to tell his kid. Look, you're gonna understand
36:57
when you get a little older and you got to
36:58
fill that fridge. Right, It costs money, and things are
37:02
you know, things are expensive. But we're not making fun
37:06
of it. We're just we all lived and so. But
37:09
I'm gonna tell you this, there is a validity. There
37:11
is a valid point when people say I grew up poor,
37:17
I started making a little bit of money, and now
37:20
I appreciate things a lot more, you know. So, But
37:26
I do want to say this about I didn't mind
37:28
being poor, right, not poor poor where I couldn't at
37:33
least eat every day. But I didn't mind not having
37:36
the responsibility of a mortgage or a car payment, a
37:40
big car payment or or or you know, all the bills.
37:44
I didn't mind. It's just a fine line, man. There's
37:48
a fine line between when you make just enough money
37:52
to live a simple life without much accountability to anything,
37:56
to when you jump up to that next level of
37:59
now you've got a real job, you decide to buy
38:01
a house, you decide to have a family. That changes
38:03
your whole perspective. And we're still struggling even today, all right,
38:09
rom the best food room Wavos Scorini's and that was
38:14
a great struggle meal right there. We had refried beans
38:19
on toast. Refried beans on toast, never heard of it, yom.
38:23
I remember we could always eat tacos with cream cheese.
38:26
One never had that. We always had tacos with refried beans.
38:30
That was always. That was taco night. That was Taco
38:34
Tuesday at my house because we was poor. Refried bean tacos.
38:38
They were good, man, they were good, alrighty four two
38:41
five four seven to seven. Rome. We also ate a
38:45
lotted ate a lot shredded corn tortillas with eggs and ketchup.
38:52
I never had that. What is wrong with you guys
38:56
adding ketchup to eggs, by the way, God, that's disgusting. Noodles,
39:02
let's see, Rome, we had noodles and baloney mao sandwiches
39:06
still hits the spot sometimes, but that's the problem. That's
39:11
also another issue. A lot of that food we ate
39:15
when we were struggling is good. It was good, you know,
39:20
we liked it. Who does it like butter on crackers?
39:26
If you ain't had a saltine with butter on it, boy,
39:29
you better go have one today. You better make those
39:32
as appetizers before dinner tonight for your kids already four
39:36
two fot four seven seven savice day WEENI. We're talking
39:44
about those struggle meals right when you're broke. What do
39:46
you eat? Already? Four two fat four seven to seven?
39:50
You know, we might want to have the conversation. Also,
39:53
what did you splurge on? What was a splurge for you?
39:56
You know, like I told you I was Carna. It
40:00
used to be a splurg for me. You know, when
40:02
I was in college, I had no money. I was
40:04
eating beans and rice and that was it. But whenever
40:08
I got any type you know, like my grandmother sent
40:11
me a grandma my grandma sent me a birthday check
40:14
or something like that. Yeah, that that car, that cheap
40:19
flank steak asada, that was a splurt for me already
40:22
four two five four or seven to seven? Uh weenis
40:27
and eggs with corn tortillas. That's pretty funny. Casadillas is
40:33
a good one too. Our our poor meal for us
40:37
was nopalles with egg burritos. And that's because my aunt
40:42
had noapaulas and chickens in her backyard. Oh okay, all right,
40:46
all right, let's see here, what'd you send me here.
40:52
Do you remember when they used to give the box
40:55
of food at the food bank and they had they
40:58
had bat they and the bad the silver can pork
41:04
in a can. What was in that stuff? I don't
41:07
remember that they had the silver can that was pork
41:09
in a can. No, I don't remember that. That's interesting, hey, Romeo,
41:14
excuse me. My mom was a single parent, and when
41:18
the Hamburger helper with what we thought as a child
41:23
was hamburger meat, but now that I'm growing, it was
41:26
some kind of mystery meat in a can. We knew
41:29
no better when I when I became a parent, Hamburger
41:33
helper was not made in my house. It's pretty funny, hey, Romeo.
41:39
When I first became a mom, there was time when
41:41
we was all low on funds. All we had for
41:45
All we had was a few hamburger patties. But hatos
41:49
and some canned corn made it into a fancy meal.
41:52
That's what I told my kids, now that they are
41:56
all teens, that's their favorite meal. That's pretty funny. That's
42:00
right already four two, five, four, seven to seven. So
42:03
we're talking about struggling, right, What kind of broke meals
42:07
did you have? What kind of broke food did you like?
42:09
What was your favorite? One yo Romeo, my favorite steak
42:14
and pasta hamburger, patty and top ramen. Okay, I mean
42:19
that sounds like a good one. I couldn't even afford hamburger.
42:23
Then a roam a syrup sandwich with the bread toasted
42:26
at the bottom of the oven. Okay, okay, all right,
42:32
what you got here? Some of these things, you guys
42:33
are text being on what they are? My poor meal.
42:36
My mom would make white rice and a can of
42:39
oysters or sardines. I still get a can every once
42:44
in a while, oysters and sardines. I used to make
42:49
white rice and pour a can of chili beans over
42:52
it and would eat it, eat it with salting crackers.
42:57
That was I think that was probably what I the most.
43:00
I like the best already four two five, four seven seven.
43:03
I will tell you what we did though, when we
43:05
were in college and we couldn't afford to go out
43:10
to eat because we were broke, and we didn't have
43:15
our parents in college. In college, I didn't really have
43:18
my parents there to pay for anything. I went to college.
43:22
My parents still lived on the reservation, and you didn't
43:25
have bevmo or. I mean, you didn't memo, you didn't
43:28
have venmo or, you didn't have anything like Apple pay.
43:32
You didn't have a way to get your kids money.
43:35
You had to actually mail them money. Okay, that's how
43:40
that worked. Put a stamp on it and send them
43:44
money on yeah, or a bank. You know, you could
43:49
go to the bank. But you know, but that wasn't
43:54
very easy because we didn't have a lot of banks
43:56
on the reservation that I banked with in college, so
43:59
that was very foot goal. So when we were what
44:04
we would do is we used to call Taco Bell
44:08
and we would tell them we just came through the
44:10
drive through and we, uh, you forgot are whatever we
44:16
wanted to eat, right, It wasn't You couldn't ask for
44:19
a lot. You'd have to say, oh, you forgot my
44:21
bean breed on my taco or you forgot my nacho
44:23
or whatever. You couldn't ask for a lot because then
44:25
they get suspicious. But that and they would just take
44:30
your name down and say, okay, well the next time
44:32
you come back by just uh, just we have your
44:36
name down and you can get what we forgot or
44:38
if you want to come back or and we would
44:41
just go go down and get it. I mean it
44:45
worked for a while. After I don't know, a couple
44:48
of years in Taco bell started to get wise and
44:51
they wanted to see your receipt. But at first, when first,
44:54
when we first started doing it, they didn't care about
44:56
your receipt. So but they caught on. I guess it
44:59
might been a big scam. Maybe they figured it out.
45:01
But yeah, that's how we That's how we would go
45:04
out to eat when we were poor. You know, sometimes
45:10
you just never know what you're gonna get unless you
45:13
ask for it. And I'm gonna tell you this story
45:16
came out years years ago, but I'm gonna tell you
45:18
a couple of instances that it worked with me. This
45:22
story came out years ago. Some actor was gonna leave
45:26
his wife and he told his wife. He goes, look,
45:28
I want to have an open relationship or I want
45:32
to be a swinging It was something like that, right,
45:34
and he said, he asked her, we can have this
45:38
type of relationship or you know, we can get divorced
45:41
if you if you don't want to, and she said yes.
45:46
So I don't know, I can't remember the actor's name
45:49
it was. It might've been one of the guys from Scrubs.
45:51
I just but it got me to thinking about asking
45:55
for something, because it's happened to me a few times.
45:58
You just you think you don't know what you're gonna
46:01
get until you ask. When during Christmas time, I had
46:06
bought some shoes as a Christmas gift, well, the shoes
46:11
never showed up. Actually, what happened was somebody unlocked the
46:15
box at the mailbox that the shoes were in and
46:17
took them right and I didn't know what to do,
46:23
so I thought, well, you know what, let me just
46:25
call Nike and tell them what happened. I called Nike,
46:30
I you know, I ordered these shoes. They looked them up.
46:34
I said, I never got them because somebody took them.
46:39
And the late what do you think Nike was gonna say?
46:43
Anybody guess the same thing. Everybody thought Nike was gonna
46:47
say when I told them I was gonna do it,
46:50
and Nike immediately said, don't worry about it. This is
46:54
what you ordered. We'll send you a new pair right away,
46:58
so you get them before Christmas and you can give
47:00
them away as the gift that I bought them for.
47:03
Literally like that, I bet every one of you listening
47:06
right now thought, that's a stupid thing to do. You're
47:10
not gonna like, why would you call Mike. You know
47:12
they're going to say, no, gett you know that's on you. No,
47:16
they didn't.
47:17
Speaker 5: But I asked.
47:20
Speaker 1: For those of you that don't know. You know, I
47:22
play a lot of golf, a lot of goo, and
47:25
there's these things called rangefinders. I don't know if you
47:27
know what they look like. They're, you know, these little
47:29
handheld devices. For you guys that hunt, you'll know what
47:32
a Bushnell range finder is. For those of you guys
47:34
that hunt engage distances, It's just a rangefinder tell you
47:38
how far stuff is. And they're kind of expensive. Some
47:41
of them are expensive. Some of them aren't never had
47:44
one before. Walked into the golf shop at a golf
47:48
course and said, hey, never had a rangefinder before? Do
47:51
they work? Guy goes, yeah, they work pretty good. Why
47:55
he goes, well, I'd like to have one, And I said, anyway,
47:59
you guys got an extra one, just like that guy
48:05
at the golf Counder goes, yes, we got a ton
48:07
of nobody. People leave them here all the time, They
48:09
lose them on the golf course. They get turned in.
48:11
They people never come and pick them up. He goes,
48:14
So here have one. But you never know what you're
48:17
gonna get until you ask somebody. Right, has that ever
48:22
happened to you? You ever just asked and got something
48:24
you never thought would happen already? Four two, five, four,
48:28
seven to seven?
48:29
Speaker 2: Hey, you that got me all wrong?
48:32
Speaker 1: Got you? When I get you in?
48:33
Speaker 2: You got me from my range Fine, that's the river because.
48:39
Speaker 1: Atlanta. Man. Oh, that's hilarious by the way, on that
48:45
for all you golfers out there, that range finder. That
48:49
range finder. But when you just asked, I've had about
48:52
eight of them. I've been to five six seven different
48:55
golf courses. Few at the coast, few down south, a
48:58
couple of beggers. You just asked, Man, they ain't coming
49:01
back for those rainfinders, and they'll give you one that
49:03
they've had. Well, I don't know if they will if
49:05
you ask, But for me, they have. I've I've given
49:07
some away to friends. Yeah, I've had them more than not.
49:10
What's going on?
49:12
Speaker 4: Good?
49:13
Speaker 5: Besides, I'm the Queen of asking. Anytime you see bushful
49:19

49:21
Speaker 6: Loading trucks with the doors, I always have to Hey,
49:26

49:29
Speaker 2: And sometimes they're like, oh man, not today.
49:33
Speaker 1: Well, when you see a truck delivering at the store,
49:35
you can ask for a free sample.
49:38

49:48
Speaker 5: I got no koozies.
49:54
Speaker 1: I'm about to try that.
49:55

50:00
Speaker 1: That's awesome, that's awesome. Thanks for calling. I appreciate it.
50:04
Speaker 3: A good one who knew right.

50:14
sometimes you asked nice enough? Now hook you up alrighty
50:17
four two five, four seven to seven. Hey, Rome, check

50:41
she's a way Rome. I still don't know to this
50:44
day if she was joking with me or if she

50:50
I just told her I was joking and moved on.
50:53
Speaker 2: Yeah.
50:53
Speaker 1: Well, sometimes sometimes when you ask, you don't want to
50:57
know the answer right my day, ever, know, you never
51:02
know until you asked somebody. You better ask somebody.
51:06
Speaker 3: How you doing, buddy, I'm great, brother.

to say, because I could have some movie tickets or something.
51:19
Speaker 1: You know, what's funny, I usually do, but I don't
51:21

51:24
of that. I don't have any right now. Sorry, man,
51:30

51:34

53:36
Speaker 2: I still hope you have a good day to you too.
53:38
Speaker 1: Can give me something I don't have already? Fourteen five
53:41
four seven seven? What did you send me here? Hey,
53:46
good morning Romeo. I was hoping to get your advice
53:49
on something. My husband and I just found out last
53:53
night that our teenage daughter, who's graduating in high school
53:56
this year, has decided she doesn't want to go to college.
54:00
We're a little upset about it. Me and my husband
54:02
are both college graduates, we've been college graduates, we've been
54:06
saving money for college, planning this uh for her since
54:11
she was born, and now she came and said that
54:14
she doesn't want college. She'd like to go to work.
54:21
So what's the problem. What's wrong with they're going to work.
54:23
What's what is the problem about? I mean, I get
54:27
I guess because you guys are college graduates, right. You
54:29
want your kid, you know, your kid to follow you
54:32
and your footsteps.
54:33
Speaker 3: And but.
54:37
Speaker 1: I don't know what you I don't know what you're
54:39
asking me. I don't I have told you this before,
54:43
and I'll tell you this again. I believe that these
54:47
high school counselors. And I don't know if I don't
54:51
know if this has changed in high school. But when
54:53
I was in high school, the counselors were I don't
54:59
want to say they we're wrong, but they pushed everybody
55:02
to go to college. Everybody to go to college. And
55:05
there's some people that just don't don't succeed in college.
55:08
It's not for them. Some people. There's hundreds and thousands
55:13
and millions of people who are very successful in this
55:16
world that never went to college. They just have a
55:19
different path. But when I was in high school, it
55:21
was all about college, all about college. So what does
55:27
she want to do? Help her out? You know, I
55:30
don't know what to I don't know what to tell you.
55:32
I think everybody has a different path than life. I
55:34
don't think college is for everybody, and I think your
55:37
daughter could be very successful without going to college. You
55:41
just she's got to find her she's got to find
55:43
what she wants to do.
55:44
Speaker 2: Right.
55:44
Speaker 1: So, I don't know if you guys are mad about it.
55:48
Kind of sounds like you're a little bitter. That's why
55:50
you texted me. But instead of being bitter and mad
55:53
about it, you might want to just help her out
55:55
and figure out how she's going to afford a life,
56:00
because that's all it really comes down to. That's all
56:03
it really comes down to, is how are you going
56:06
to afford a life? Okay, and whatever life you want
56:12
to lead, how are you going to afford it? Because
56:15
you can do it with or without college, right, Because
56:18
that's really what it came. I didn't want to go
56:19
to college. I was just going to go work for
56:21
the state like my parents did. But I couldn't get
56:25
a job of the state. So I went to college
56:27
while I waited to try to get a job. And
56:29
it turns out I never got the job. I got
56:31
the college degrees. So it just depends, you know, I mean,
56:35
what if she wanted you should be more focused on
56:38
helping her find what she wants to do. With her
56:41
life to be able to take care of herself and
56:45
going from there. And it sounds like you've been saving
56:47
money for college.
56:49
Speaker 3: You know.
56:49
Speaker 1: It sounds like you got a little extra cash for
56:51
her since you're not going to spend it on college.
56:54
I mean, maybe you, you know, use it to help
56:57
her out. I'm just saying, already pour two five, four
57:02
or seven to seven. Uh, some parents just sent me
57:06
a text message talking about their daughter, Uh doesn't want
57:09
to go to college, right, I guess their college graduates. Uh.
57:13
They were hoping she would go to college and been
57:15
saving since she was born for college her to go
57:18
to college, and she decided she doesn't want to go.
57:21
They were asked me about it. I think you just
57:24
support her and try to figure out how she's going
57:26
to make a living, because really, that's all we're doing
57:28
in this world, right is trying to make a living
57:30
and live a good life. Whether you do it with
57:32
or without college doesn't really matter. There are plenty of
57:35
successful people right here in Bakersfield who never went to college. Right,
57:39
So already four two five, four, seven to seven. Hey, Romeo,
57:45
I just want to agree with you about the college thing.
57:49
My husband made our daughter go to college because she
57:53
didn't know what she wanted to do. And that's where
57:56
he went to and that's what he did. He Oh,
57:58
he went to college. Right, she ended up dropping out
58:01
after two years. And how much money we wasted and
58:07
how much money we still owed when she dropped out.
58:10
It was ridiculous. So I don't disagree with that, but
58:14
you are right. A girl needs to find out what
58:16
she's going to do or how she's going to make
58:18
money and survive. Yeah, but you can't know at eighteen nineteen,
58:23
when you graduate high school eighteen nineteen, you can't tell
58:26
some kid, oh, this is what you're supposed to do.
58:28
I mean, they don't know what they want to do,
58:31
you know, but at least they know. If they know
58:33
they don't want to go to college, then you know what,
58:35
help them out, be on their side, figure it out together,
58:39
all right? Eight four two, five, four, seven to seven?
58:44
What did you send me here? Ay? Yo? Rome, I
58:48
didn't go to college and I'm doing pretty well for myself.
58:51
I'm a mechanic, went to a trade school. Yeah, that's
58:54
still kind of a version of a college. So I
58:56
get it. Yeah, No, college isn't for everybody. I mean,
59:00
you just You can't force something on somebody that they
59:03
don't want to do, and it just makes it worse.
59:06
Just help them figure out how they're gonna make money.
59:10
You'd be much better off, all right. Eight four two, five,
59:12
four seven to seven. Hey Romeo, about the girl that
59:16
told her parents she doesn't want to go to college.
59:20
That happened to me. I was so upset that my
59:23
daughter wasn't to wasn't gonna go to college. I had
59:26
no idea what she was gonna do. She ended up
59:29
just getting a job as a cashier for a while,
59:33
and then she became the manager. Now she seems to
59:36
do pretty well for herself for where she for the
59:39
place that she works. I don't want to say anything.
59:41
Then she got married and married a guy who didn't
59:45
have a college education. He was actually a welder. He
59:49
makes really good money. Now they have a great family.
59:53
They're doing very well for themselves. They actually live in
59:56
a bigger house than I do, and I'm a college graduate.
1:00:00
So don't discount when these kids don't really know what
1:00:04
they're doing, or maybe they have a plan that we
1:00:07
as parents just don't understand. It worked out for my
1:00:12
kid pretty well. She got a great husband, I got
1:00:15
great grandkids and they live really well. Right now, Well,
1:00:19
does she still have the cashier job? What does she do?
1:00:23
She's just a stay at home mom. Now, by the way,
1:00:27
a stay at home mom can be a job. I'm
1:00:30
just saying, could be a really good job. Actually, well,
1:00:33
what did you send me here? Yo?
1:00:34
Speaker 5: Roam.
1:00:34
Speaker 1: Millions of kids in college didn't want to go or
1:00:38
didn't know what to major in. Yet they graduated and
1:00:44
have jobs that pay enough to support themselves. Now, in life,
1:00:48
we all have to do things we don't want to.
1:00:52
The parents should have taught her that instead of allowing
1:00:55
her to have a way out. What happens when she
1:00:58
has a job and doesn't want doesn't want to go.
1:01:02
It would be different if the daughter already had a plan.
1:01:05
But she doesn't, and she's starting adulthood as a quitter. No,
1:01:09
she's not, because she never started college to begin with.
1:01:11
She's eighteen years old. I think I'm just assuming that's
1:01:15
her age and when she hasn't even started going to
1:01:19
end up pregnant and on food stamps. Yeah, I don't
1:01:22
think so. I think you're being a little negative for
1:01:26
some reason about that. And I know if so many
1:01:30
college students are doing great. Why are they all in debt?
1:01:33
Why is there such a major problem in the US.
1:01:37
They're always arguing about the debt they can't pay back.
1:01:41
I know doctors in LA that have to live with
1:01:43
their mother, with their parents because they can't afford to
1:01:47
live on their own and handle their school debts. So
1:01:52
we have totally different experiences, by the way, and so
1:01:56
I don't agree with what you're saying. I don't agree
1:01:59
with what you're saying. And help her find a job,
1:02:01
help her get it on. Nobody said. The parents didn't
1:02:05
say that she didn't want a job. The parents said
1:02:08
she didn't want to go to college. You don't need
1:02:11
to go to college to find a job. You don't
1:02:12
need to go to college to be successful. You know,
1:02:15
I have two college degrees, and some of my friends
1:02:19
who didn't go to college are far more successful than
1:02:21
I am, make far more money than I do. So
1:02:25
you might want to reevaluate. I just think we have
1:02:27
different experiences in life, and I don't know what yours is.
