• 0:16
  Speaker 1: phone tap, and today we attempt to do something that
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: we've never done on this show before. Okay, trying to
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: make financial literacy funny. I don't know what financial literacy. Yeah,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: I'll be honest. When I was in the middle of
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: doing this call, I was thinking, this is going exactly
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: how I thought it would, kind of boring. Oh that's
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: what a tease. Can't wait to So I said something
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: I probably shouldn't have, and it changed the course of
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: the conversation. I'm a little embarrassed about it now, but
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: you'll hear what I said in your phone tap right now.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: It's on the twenties. Hello. Hi, my name's Riley. Are
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: you Lucas? This is him? How can I help you? Hey, Lucas,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: I work over in corporate HR and I was hoping
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: to chat with you about something for a second. Yeah, sure,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: of course, what's up. As you know, the company sent
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: out an email recently regarding financial literacy. You might remember
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: it asked a bunch of questions about four oh one
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: ks and hsas and stuff like that. Yeah, I remember. Great.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: So it turns out you actually did very well on it.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: You really know your stuff, really, Yeah you did. I
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: mean I'm looking over it right now. It turns out
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: you're investing in your four oh one K, you picked
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: a modest medical plan, So you're a really good role
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: model for some of our other employees. I don't know
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: if to say. I mean, I try to be pretty
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: good at it, and you know the company matches, so
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: it's good stuff. Well, your instincts are right on, and
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: that's why management wanted to know if you might consider
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: being a part of a mentorship program that we're going
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: to be starting up here. You're sure that they want me.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, I know some things, but not enough to
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: actually tell other people about it. I think you'd actually
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: be perfect. And the idea is you're going to be
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: paired up with another employee that maybe isn't as good
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: with their money as you are. I just don't want
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: them to be like a conflict of interest or or
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: someone like, if you know, if it's a if it's
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: my team leader, I feel like that might be. I
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: don't know, maybe maybe it's a little strange, but I mean,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: if it's coming from corporate, then excuse my French, but
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: is your whole tight? Lucas, I'm sorry, did you just
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: say is my whole tight? Because it's a really simple thing.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not asking you to do rocket science here.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: It's more like checking to see if they're spending all
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: their money on lobster dinners every night when they should
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: be buying McDonald's. But you know they're going to listen
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: to you because you're a peer instead of us up
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: at corporate. Sure, I mean, all right, so you're on board, then,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: I guess, so that's the team spirit then I'm looking for.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: So here's how it's going to work. To help out
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: your co workers. We're going to be supplementing that with
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: some of your pretax income. All right, so you're giving
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: them my money. I mean yeah, but don't worry. It's
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: not going to be a lot. Probably no more than
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: fifteen percent of your paycheck. That's the max. No, I
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: wasn't aware that this was going to be a financial
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: implication for myself. Yeah, all right, so it sounds like
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: I was right earlier. Your hole is tight. Okay, sir, Yes,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: I guess my hole is tight. If that's what you
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: wanted to say, We're not going to spend this whole
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: conversation talking about the tightness of your poll. Okay, let's
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: get back to what we were discussing earlier, the thing
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: you already agreed to, and that's helping out. Yeah, but
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: you're saying that you're taking my money. That sounds crazy.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna just listen. In order for the mentors
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: to really care during this program, we found it to
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: be more effective if they use their own money because
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: then there's higher stakes in it. Then pay me more money. Sorry,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: that's not how the program works. Unfortunately, corporate's really holding
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: tight onto that. Well, of course corporate wants to hold
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: them into their own money, but they want to spend
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: my money on some ridiculous program, and that is the
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: definition financially respond correction, it's not your money, it's their money. Now,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: I gotta be honest, I'm not enjoying the looks and
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: the optics of this program, and I just well, no, yeah,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to say, no, I need you to
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: unclench because you already consented, you know. Can you stop
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: with the clenching and the unclenching and the peak of
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: the pulse and everything. I just very unprofessional. I don't
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: like it. Fine, you've already said bubbles are out. Now,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: clenching's off limits too. You're a very demanding person, I
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: have to say, and I hope you bring that type
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: of mentality with you when we start this program on Monday.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: You're going to see it reflected in your paycheck. No,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: I haven't agreed to this. Well I'm not agreeing. I'm
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: sorry to correct you here, but you already did agree
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: to it. And I'm recording this phone call, so I
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: have proof. You're recording this phone call. You're trying to
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: set me up from this, that's right, I am. Well,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: I didn't give permission to that either. I didn't need
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: permission from you. I got it from your coworker Josh,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: because he wanted to set you up for a prank
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: phone call. What this is actually a joke. My name
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: is Jeff from the radio show Brooke and Jeffrey in
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: the Morning, and we're doing a phone tap on you. Oh,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: my god. Your coworker job set you up. He said
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: your company made all the employees do some sort of
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: financial literacy test and that you were all worked up
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: about it, so he wanted to mess with you. It
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: was stupid, and I know I didn't do well on it,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: so this was breaking it out. You didn't do that bad.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's some lady over in accounting who's going
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: to be using your money to buy a new PS
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: five to be proud of that. Fine, well, then she
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: needs to let me play it that, all right? Wake
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: up every morning with phone Tap. Weeked mornings on the
