  I want to get your thoughts on what this influencer. And I know as
• 0:03
  soon as I say influencer, you kind of roll your eyes. What she
• 0:05
  did while giving birth? Okay, So this influencer goes into the hospital,
• 0:09
  she's literally in labor when she decides, you know, I still got to
• 0:14
  give my fans, my followers the content to they crave. And so she
• 0:19
  began to do a quote get ready with me video, you know you send
• 0:23
  people do this. Were like, yeah, while they're putting their makeup on,
• 0:25
  It's like, here's the video of how I get ready. She's in
• 0:28
  labor, okay, putting on full makeup, I mean, the works,
• 0:32
  okay, And so people are criticizing, are going that was literally the last
• 0:38
  thing on my mind when I was pushing out a baby. Now Amanda having
• 0:41
  pushed out two babies separately, can you even imagine? So I had scheduled
• 0:49
  Oh my gosh, what are they even a C section? Nope, nope,
• 0:52
  nope, I had a scheduled sports physical delivery. Is holy cow,
• 1:00
  mom brain over here. No, I'm not pregnant. But anyway, I
• 1:04
  ended up like waking up in the morning, getting ready, I did my
• 1:08
  hair in make and I rolled in in and out like ready to ready to
• 1:14
  go. You have this photo like your first photo with your babies. Was
• 1:17
  you looking like pretty ready to go? Yes, it wasn't. It wasn't
• 1:21
  terrible. I thought we could both go in on this lady together, but
• 1:23
  it sounds like you're one of her. Well, and no, it was
• 1:26
  just that was what I chose to do. And you know, I still
• 1:30
  look like I had a baby. I'm not looking like a gal Amazon because
• 1:33
  I was laying in the hospital, you know, for twelve hours. She
• 1:36
  had had a rough go with Briggs. Sid was a little bit more like,
• 1:38
  oh gosh, okay, she just kind of fell out this. No,
• 1:42
  that was Briggs and that's not exactly how it went down. But I
• 1:49
  was very, very lucky. Yes, I did not have an intense birthing
• 1:52
  experience. Yeah, there, it wasn't anything quite like that. Well,
• 1:56
  some people were commenting things like, I don't understand how you could do this
• 1:59
  during labor, or I threw up five minutes before I started pushing. I'd
• 2:02
  puke in my hair. No amount of makeup in the world would have made
• 2:05
  me look ready for those photos. And that's just it. Everybody has their
• 2:08
  own birth and experience, and for me, this is a no, like
• 2:13
  I'm not gonna be in there getting ready, like follow along with me to
• 2:15
  do this. That's a little. It is. Objectively, it's pretty annoying.
• 2:19
  It is very much. It's kind of refreshing when I see, you
• 2:21
  know, people on my timeline posting their first photo with their babies, and
• 2:24
  it's always nice, Like, even if I don't even know you, i'd
• 2:28
  really have to hate you to not feel some joy for you. Of course,
• 2:30
  seriously like that photo. But when you see a girl you know who's
• 2:34
  otherwise really put together and always getting ready get but to see that really raw,
• 2:38
  no makeup at all, looking like unrecognizable at sometimes of course, which
• 2:43
  is fine, but it's just really it's really nice, a primal moment.
• 2:46
  And I also love the fact that you're noticing that and you appreciate that,
• 2:52
  because I think we've gotten to a point too, and maybe it's post COVID
• 2:55
  whatever you want it to be, just more people looking natural in general.
• 2:59
  Totally. Yeah, I used to care so much get ready to do and
• 3:01
  I don't buy you because I remember, like in you know, junior high,
• 3:06
  the first time girls would come in without their makeup done, it's like
• 3:08
  the boys weren't nice. They were not nice about it. I like this
• 3:13
  new energy that we're putting out there is a society, I think, Yeah,
• 3:15
  just more natural just in general. Yeah, like not shaving, you
• 3:20
  don't have to shave. That's new too. Have you tried it? That
• 3:23
  One's not for me? Really? Let's see those aren't pitch you got?
• 3:27
  She's bear skin? Yeah? No, I'm none of you know this about
• 3:30
  me? Hair freaks me out? Yeah, freaks me out. Well,
• 3:35
  you got a bunch on your head? That's weird. How do you feel
• 3:38
  about that? Like it a minute in the morning, Big Natty eight point
• 3:40
  seven. You know, we like to do this thing called is It Weird,
• 3:46
  where we just openly discussed weird things we do in our personal lives,
• 3:50
  this sort of question are they weird or not? And so we come to
• 3:52
  the table here on the show and find out. Amanda, you are you
• 3:55
  wanting to go first? Yeah? I really don't want to admit to this
• 3:58
  because I have a feeling my husban's listening right now, and I know he
• 4:01
  does this and I call him out for it. But uh, I did
• 4:04
  it the other day. I was really busy and I opened the dishwasher,
• 4:10
  and there were a couple of things that needed to go in there, and
• 4:12
  I knew that they were already clean. Can I just comment on what a
• 4:15
  cool time it is to mow the grass outside of the studio during the live
• 4:19
  morning show room room. You got to get in before the heat. I
• 4:23
  get it, But I'm just saying, if you guys are hearing a dull
• 4:26
  roar, that's not my tummy. You probably are we shondier outside the window.
• 4:30
  Sorry, Amanda Tod interrupt Go ahead, No, it's good anyway.
• 4:32
  So I opened the dishwasher thinking it's it's empty. Nope, it's not.
• 4:38
  It's pretty full. And I only had like three things to put in it.
• 4:42
  Pike and I could have unloaded the dishwasher. I could have, and
• 4:46
  I knew it was clean, but I put the dirty dishes in the dishwasher
• 4:50
  and restarted the dishwasher because I was too lazy. Is that weird? I'm
• 4:56
  gonna make sure I'm understanding this right. You open the dishwasher. There was
• 5:00
  clean dishes in there, how many like a full load, and there was
• 5:03
  enough to I had to put three dishes in there. I was able to
• 5:06
  squeeze them in no what You're just delaying the dishwasher, pond, all of
• 5:13
  it. It's like, just because I didn't want those three dishes to be
• 5:15
  sitting in the sink. It's super lazy. I just, you know,
• 5:18
  I just I don't think it's weird. What I do think is weird is
• 5:23
  that it seems like weekly when we do this, it's almost always kitchen related.
• 5:28
  With you, I think I'm starting to think your whole life just revolves
• 5:30
  around the kitchen. No, last week it was about food. Well,
• 5:35
  I mean, right, weird, where do you get the food? I
• 5:39
  wonder that happened to be in the lake. But anyway, No, No,
• 5:44
  that's it. I couldn't judge, possibly first of all, because I
• 5:47
  do not ever do the dishes. They would just sit in there. Yeah.
• 5:50
  It's the same as the laundry for me, because I'll do my laundry
• 5:54
  and I was leave it in the dryer and just hand pick clothes out of
• 5:57
  there every day. Oh that's so annoying. Yeah, so my wife will
• 6:00
  eventually have to take mine out of the dryer to do her clothes because we
• 6:03
  do them separately. But with the dishes, we do them together, and
• 6:05
  she just does it because she knows. I just won't do it. Really,
• 6:09
  I know, a real pile of garbage. Gosh, no kidding.
• 6:12
  All right, maybe you should step up your kitchen game. Listen, I
• 6:15
  can rattle the pots and pans a little bit if I need to. We're
• 6:17
  making pasta Friday. Don't think I'm not coming through with a nice dish.
• 6:21
  We had that last night, A nice little pasta dish. I love spaghette.
• 6:26
  I love spaghetti. I mean, is it weird that I kind of
• 6:29
  like the heat? A lot of people complain, like yesterday was too hot,
• 6:32
  too hot to be out. I like it. I think I think
• 6:35
  I'm a heat guy. Yeah, I would rather be hot than cold.
• 6:41
  Can we talk about that, because a lot of people say, oh,
• 6:44
  you know, I'd much rather be like covered up thirty degrees. Oh,
• 6:47
  at least you can layer up than one hundred degrees or ninety degrees. Like
• 6:51
  yesterday wasn't even ninety. Oh was it ninety? It was ninety rolling into
• 6:57
  from you to me. It's just it's not even close because like yesterday,
• 7:00
  yeah it was hot, but I still got to golf all day. Still
• 7:03
  could have said it on the patio when it's thirty degrees you're not doing any
• 7:06
  of that. You're staying inside. I'm with you. You obviously know this
• 7:10
  about me, like, bring on the heat. It's not too much for
• 7:13
  my husband is the opposite though. He it's just it's too hot for him.
• 7:17
  He it's just he gets irritated, and I get that. I'm not
• 7:21
  the heat it went extreme, is not uncomfortable. But I'm just saying,
• 7:26
  like, there's still things you can do compared to the winter where there are
• 7:29
  just other than ice fishing and snowmobiling, there's just like no options. You
• 7:32
  know. Yeah, you're not just hanging out outside in jeanet. Yeah you're
• 7:35
  not gonna sit on patio. I know that. Maybe with a nice bonfire
• 7:40
  in snow pants, but even then, Yeah, no, I'm with you.
• 7:43
  I don't think that's super weird. I appreciate you saying that. I
• 7:46
  guess we're not as weird as we think. No, we got to come
• 7:47
  up with weirder stuff, it'd be weird. That's when we got it all
• 7:51
  right. Turned out. Next week, we're just going to read each other's
• 7:55
  Google search history. Take a minute in the morning. Despite the smoke,
• 8:01
  it was a lovely week and hope everybody had a good one back at it
• 8:03
  today. But Amanda, would you like to discuss the highs and the lows
• 8:07
  of our weekend? Oh? I think I think it would be very exciting.
• 8:09
  Give me the give me the high point of your weekend and then the
• 8:13
  low point and if you want to chime in too, Heck, we'd love
• 8:15
  to hear about your weekend. Seven oh one two eight one seven. Yeah,
• 8:18
  you want to start with a high point? Yeah, high point for
• 8:20
  me. We have not done a date night in a really long time,
• 8:24
  my husband and I, and on Friday night, we ended up doing a
• 8:26
  little date night that turned into running into a bunch of friends. My brother
• 8:31
  ended up coming hanging out, Uh, met some people. We ended up
• 8:35
  doing karaoke. Really, you know me, I don't say what this last
• 8:39
  week you were like talking about your pap anataarn yep. Impression that happened?
• 8:45
  Did she come out? She came out? Uh Sultan pepa shoop that happened?
• 8:48
  Really, yep. It was just it was a high point because if
• 8:52
  you anybody else have a turn. Jeez, I know it was just you're
• 8:56
  paying the host. Amanda up next on deck on deck, Amanda, Okay,
• 9:03
  that's hilarious. But that was, Uh, that was just a high
• 9:07
  point. It's been a while since we just kind of like let loose and
• 9:09
  had fun and really mixing and matching friends too. That's always fun. Yeah,
• 9:13
  it was just it was great. Did you I can go to the
• 9:16
  instant low point if you'd like, I would love to hear it. Uh
• 9:18
  Saturday morning, Oh sure, yeah, I did I have anything to do
• 9:22
  with Friday? It did. It was one of those moments where I'm not
• 9:24
  young, I'm not fun anymore. I need to tell yourself in those moments.
• 9:28
  Yeah, but man, Saturday was us. Saturday was a little rough
• 9:33
  for mom over there. That's just it. You know what they say about
• 9:35
  having some drinks at night, it's borrowing happiness from the next day. Absolutely,
• 9:39
  And it wasn't even Yes, of course there was drinks involved. I'm
• 9:43
  not gonna pretend like there wasn't. But for me, it was that we
• 9:46
  stayed up till midnight. And if I am not in bed, especially on
• 9:50
  like a Friday, because we wake up at three thirty in the morning.
• 9:52
  By I mean even that nine thirty, ten o'clock, that's kind of the
• 9:56
  switch too. Fight anything after that just a puddle. Yeah, I hear
• 10:00
  you. Saturday night, you know, we were talking Piaz. I think
• 10:01
  it was yesterday, was National ice Cream Day. Yeah, it was just
• 10:05
  on my mind. And we just happened to be driving through Morehead and I
• 10:07
  saw the DQ logo and I thought, we're talking the original Dairy Queen right
• 10:13
  on ag No, it's so funny. We actually drove by that the eighth
• 10:15
  Street and there was a long line. Of course, it was like a
• 10:18
  beautiful evening. Yeah, and I thought, well, no, I'm not
• 10:20
  going to do that, but I know there's another one down by the interstate,
• 10:24
  so we went to that one. Got right in medium cookie do blizzard,
• 10:28
  the only thing I've ever ordered from Dairy Queen since I was a child.
• 10:31
  That's my go to, even though it's a thousand calories or whatever.
• 10:33
  And I just destroyed it, and you know me and I'm driving, but
• 10:37
  thankfully I was able to eat the thing before we even got out of the
• 10:39
  parking lot. Man, you were going to town on that bad bad you
• 10:43
  know me. Did you get like chicken strips or anything with it? Or
• 10:45
  did you just do ice cream? No? Man, I'm not a millionaire
• 10:48
  and the blizzard was enough. My god, you're not wrong. No,
• 10:54
  it's great. Also, can we go with a low point for the weekend?
• 10:56
  How much everything is? Like we open our bank account on Saturday and
• 11:01
  I don't remember. I was like we were out, Like what happened?
• 11:05
  Uh, like what happened? I also don't really remember eating, but my
• 11:09
  gosh, it happens quick. I know. They said the cost of the
• 11:11
  blizzard. I said, are you are you sure? I know no,
• 11:16
  I just had the blizzard. That was all I Then the low point,
• 11:18
  Amanda. You know, I just hate to say it, but yesterday eighteen
• 11:20
  holes at Rose Creek and pretty much holds one through eighteen or the low points.
• 11:24
  So not good. Not a good day. What are you gonna do
• 11:28
  about this? Because this game is I mean, now you're on a bad
• 11:31
  street and it's two in a row. It's just been embarrassing. So I
• 11:33
  mean, it was a nice time. We got it in before the monsoon
• 11:37
  yesterday afternoon. Yeah, that was crazy. We got home before that as
• 11:39
  well. I saw like West Fargo streets were underwit those vehicles. I'm like,
• 11:43
  uh, this isn't okay. I know. I had to put the
• 11:46
  booies up on my Ultima. It's got those they got like a two and
• 11:50
  a half inches of rain in just that short amount of time. Yeah,
• 11:52
  yep, so nope, not good. But we'll be back. We'll be
• 11:56
  better for it. Will I go to the rains to work on things?
• 11:58
  Probably not? Okay, So you're just going to complain on Thursday after you
• 12:01
  lose league night again, that's right? Okay, yeah, perfect, We're
• 12:05
  all there for it. And Amanda in the morning on big and now Amanda
• 12:11
  fills the sea. We'll see. I mean, we know it's over right
• 12:16
  between Ben and Jen, even though they haven't officially filed for divorce on either
• 12:22
  side of things. Over the weekend it just made me really sad for her.
• 12:26
  She had a fancy birthday party over the weekend. It was a Bridgerton
• 12:30
  theme, which just all of it, the fact that she's throwing a party
• 12:33
  for herself. You want to say, she'll be it's her birthdays. Actually
• 12:37
  on Wednesday she had a bunch of people there that were close to her.
• 12:41
  Of course by Maffleck was not there. Oh you didn't want to go.
• 12:45
  One of the Bridgerton guys of her that she had posted some selfies. I
• 12:48
  mean, she looks great. She doesn't have her wedding ring, on.
• 12:52
  They're starting to look like what our thirst thirst picks. Is that a thing
• 12:56
  traps thirst traps a little bit, yes, kind of putting herself out there.
• 13:01
  It was just their two year wedding anniversary a few days ago, and
• 13:03
  neither of them acknowledged it. But one thing that's really interesting is she's still
• 13:07
  hanging out with Jennifer Gardner and Ben Affleck kids, her stepkids. So I
• 13:11
  think one of them was hanging out like a few days ago. There is
• 13:13
  are they adult children or no? I want to say the one is like,
• 13:18
  yeah, teenagers for sure, But I don't know. Well, it's
• 13:20
  just too bad it didn't work out this second time around. Maybe they'll do
• 13:24
  it again, I don't think so, don't think so. I doubt that.
• 13:26
  It was another big weekend at the box office. This time. We're
• 13:30
  not talking about Incredibles for Twisters. The sequel to Twister was in theaters over
• 13:35
  eighty million dollars. It brought in over the weekend. It was the first,
• 13:39
  I guess, biggest opening I guess this summer for the live action movie.
• 13:41
  But I don't even know if I've seen Twister. I know that's crazy
• 13:46
  because it's a classic. Oh I remember that one who was in it?
• 13:48
  Was it Helen Hunt? Yes, I cannot think of his name. I
• 13:50
  can say it. It was Dennis Quaid or is that a different movie?
• 13:54
  No, I think you're right. No Twister, what was it? Kevin
• 14:00
  cost No, I'm just gonna name guys. No, Bill Paxton, what
• 14:05
  there's another guy? Come on, keep looking. I'm looking the whole time
• 14:09
  Hunt and Bill, Bill Paxton, That's who I was trying to think of.
• 14:11
  Yes, but he yes, I've never heard of that man, but
• 14:15
  I heard it was really really good. I didn't even know any hype for
• 14:18
  this or anything, and then all of a sudden, like last Thursday Friday,
• 14:22
  it felt like almost everybody on social media was going to check it out.
• 14:24
  So give it a peek. It sounds like it's a good one.
• 14:28
  This I'm only bringing up because we were just talking about it last week and
• 14:31
  your love for the scary movie movie Scary Movie franchise one through three specifically if
• 14:37
  you know, you know, and it's incredible. They're working on another one
• 14:41
  and Anna Farius sat down for an interview and she said she had a few
• 14:45
  non negotiables. She is not saying no to doing another scary it's not anymore.
• 14:50
  It's not in the works. It's in They don't know who's in it,
• 14:52
  right, I think they do check out, but it's not her.
• 14:54
  No, well, she said money would get her to be a part of
• 14:58
  it. Oh weird, that would be so yeah, the number one thing
• 15:01
  that would get her to be a part of it. But Regina, Regina
• 15:03
  Hall, she said that they had so much fun. She said it was
• 15:07
  one of the best times of her life. She would just sit there.
• 15:09
  They would make each other laugh all day long. And uh, that's what
• 15:13
  she. Regina played Brenda, of course, who died in spoilers Scary Movie
• 15:18
  three was brutally killed by that horrible ring like you have see the movie of
• 15:22
  the ring. Yes, it was like so they so moved that where the
• 15:24
  lady would come out of the TV and kill her. I remember some highlights
• 15:28
  from the Scary Movie series, but it is supposed to come out Scary Movie
• 15:31
  six sometime in twenty twenty five. Those films just and I probably shouldn't have
• 15:37
  watched it because I was a young kid when the first one came out.
• 15:39
  But man, they're so inappropriate but so good. The second one with Tim
• 15:43
  Curry in it, the Haunted House. And this is just hilarious. The
• 15:46
  guy with the hand, I mean the hand, Come on, all right,
• 15:50
  and I'm looking up. It does not look like I don't see any
• 15:52
  cast. They've done so many sense it's pointless at this point. It's Home
• 15:56
  Alone, you know, really in the same boat. Really you're going to
• 16:00
  chalk up like Home Alone and that the scary well the same. They's been
• 16:07
  the same trajectory as in the first two a little different iconic, and then
• 16:12
  the third one was iconic. You cannot say the scary movies where icon is
• 16:18
  defined the generation between that and American Pie like that that was that, there
• 16:22
  was American Pie. Yes, I'll be on board with us and throwing Austin
• 16:26
  Powers and then Anchor Man and but then that's it. And then of course
• 16:30
  Adam Sandler's films trending. Now here's what you need to know. Well,
• 16:36
  we had breaking news yesterday. President Biden will not seek reelection, he said
• 16:40
  yesterday on Twitter. Well, it has been my intention. I believe it
• 16:44
  is the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down
• 16:47
  and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as president for the remainder of my
• 16:51
  term. He did say that I'll speak with the nation sometime this week to
• 16:55
  give more detail. In a follow up post, he did praise Vice President
• 16:57
  Kamala Harris and urged Demics to unite behind her as the candidate, giving her
• 17:03
  his full endorsement. I wonder what finally pushed him over, because you know,
• 17:07
  as of last week he was adamant that he was still gonna do it,
• 17:08
  and I was pretty sure he would not step down, and here we
• 17:11
  are. I wonder who got to him. Yeah, well, I think
• 17:14
  there was a lot of conversations, not only with some head Democrat Democratic leaders,
• 17:18
  but I think his family too. They're just kind of like, hey,
• 17:21
  we're gonna well, of course, yeah, we're gonna want you to
• 17:23
  maybe not do this. You know. It was one of those things too.
• 17:26
  Of course we've been watching him as president, but yesterday, just even
• 17:30
  watching highlights from four years ago to now, just the difference of this,
• 17:33
  it is pretty obvious you could say the same about us. Probably, oh
• 17:37
  say that about me last week. I'm just I aged a lot over the
• 17:41
  week. I wonder who it will be though, because I had heard in
• 17:44
  this probably unsubstantiated but that they might run it back with Hillary. I thought,
• 17:48
  oh my what and then I saw Bill Clinton already endorsing Kamala So I'm
• 17:51
  guessing he's not endorsing somebody other than his wife if she was planning to work.
• 17:55
  Yeah, there's been a few names being thrown out there. A lot
• 17:56
  of people this morning kind of chatting and saying, hey, I want to
• 17:59
  I want to put my name out there. Yeah, yeah, I got
• 18:03
  I got an all staff email one of our employees. They were like,
• 18:07
  I'm out, I'm running for marsh. Yeah, I'm pretty interested in running
• 18:10
  for president in the midst of all of this political stuff going on. Also,
• 18:15
  the Olympics they already start on Friday. They're going to be in Paris,
• 18:18
  and we're fighting out now. Lebron James will be the flag bearer for
• 18:22
  the Paris Olympics opening ceremony. Of all the people they went with lbjil lebrom
• 18:27
  Boy. He is one of our best athletes. I will tell you this,
• 18:32
  I love Cereal, but I don't know if I can indulge in this.
• 18:34
  The Kelsey Brothers, they have a serial mix that they created growing up
• 18:38
  that they loved eating. It was cinnamon toast crunch with Lucky Charms and Reese's
• 18:42
  Puffs. So now they've created it and they're calling it the Kelsey Mixed Cereal,
• 18:47
  putting all of them in one box. You don't need that. We
• 18:48
  don't need that. I get as a kid it's fun to mix things together,
• 18:52
  like the fountain pop at the fast food restaurants. But it's just not
• 18:56
  good. You want to know a weird thing. My son has been wanting
• 18:59
  orange gear and milk. Isn't that just like Canyon Not like He's just like,
• 19:03
  no, I'm gonna he And I think he thinks he's like a science
• 19:04
  project trying to put it together, but it is, so I'm like,
• 19:08
  oh, and he'll drink it. It's just it's I mean, it sounds
• 19:12
  like a creamsicle to me, or like an orange Julius maybe yeah, maybe.
• 19:15
  I mean it's not the worst thing. But I remember as a kid
• 19:17
  too, I'd call them my concoctions, and I'd just like be creating and
• 19:21
  I wouldn't drink them because I'd be putting my hand soap in there, you
• 19:23
  know. But I love mixing it up. Yeah, Cinnamon toast crunch to
• 19:27
  me, was probably the best out of all three of these. You went
• 19:30
  Reese's Puffs. Yeah, I don't love cinnamon Toa's crunch. Not a big
• 19:33
  cinnamon guy. I'm falling around on it as an old man, but historically
• 19:37
  not loved cocoa puffs. Or here's a little hack to take this one home.
• 19:42
  Frosted flakes already delicious. But an old friend of mine I saw one
• 19:47
  day he was putting peanut butter on the side of the bowl and just with
• 19:49
  every bite you take a little bit of spoonful of peanut butter. Really,
• 19:53
  my god, is it good? Interesting? I can just ease so much
• 19:56
  of that I see, And I was so like, whether it'd be blueberry
• 20:00
  morning honey bunches of vote I love, just like regular cheerios with banana in
• 20:04
  it. What is with you? You talk all the time about you?
• 20:07
  What was the show you watched? Your favorite show as a child was Designing
• 20:11
  Women or something? Designing Women? Melrose play a s goolden girl. Were
• 20:15
  you raised by a village of senior citizens? What happened they took you in
• 20:22
  as one of their own fun fact about me? I never told you,
• 20:29
  but yes, that is that's a cool story. That's a cool origin story.
• 20:32
  You're kind of like Tarzan, but like senior nursing homes, like get
• 20:37
  a man in the morning, get up on big. Were you happy?
• 20:42
  Yeah, I know that's a really like big question. Would you say you're
• 20:45
  happy? Yeah? Overall for sure? What would you say you would be
• 20:48
  happier if you had mo money? You know, And that's an interesting question
• 20:53
  because yes, it's easy to say, of course it sounds great, But
• 20:57
  then you know people who have it and just spending the exact same Just on
• 21:02
  you know, you might end up in the same financial situation. Who's spending
• 21:04
  the exact same What do you mean? Meaning if you if you increase your
• 21:10
  the amount of money you're gonna have, you're probably just spending the exact same
• 21:12
  So you might be in the exact same financial situation. Just you're referring with
• 21:17
  a couple more well, with more things right, you're referring to the phenomenon
• 21:19
  known as lifestyle creep. The more you make, the more you spend,
• 21:22
  you're still left with little. But I don't know about lifestyle creep. Oh,
• 21:26
  it's one of the hardest things to fight, you know exactly. You
• 21:30
  get a raise, it's like, oh, now I can afford a bigger
• 21:32
  car payment. I'll just get a better cars like, oh wait, now
• 21:34
  I still have zero dollars, what the heck? But Amanda, A new
• 21:37
  study was done, and I know this one of your favorite schools, Wharton
• 21:41
  School, Wharton, Wharton, Wharton, Whart, and they did a study
• 21:48
  based on finding whether or not money can truly buy happiness? Okay, and
• 21:52
  you know what they found. Nope, yes it can. Really You've heard
• 21:56
  it a million times. Money can't buy happiness. And of course the caveat
• 22:00
  here is like not entirely right, it doesn't make you just completely fulfilled.
• 22:06
  But no, but financial stress is such a burden on relationships, people,
• 22:11
  anxiety, all of that. Absolutely, So they found that it makes more
• 22:15
  of a difference for the like, let's say there's middle class and then wealthy
• 22:21
  people making hundreds of thousands of dollars annually. The difference it made in that
• 22:26
  range is way more than it makes for let's say a low income person versus
• 22:30
  middle class, because there's really not that if you're making seventy five thousand year
• 22:34
  or you're making thirty five thousand, like, there's not a huge difference where
• 22:37
  you're talking hundreds of thousands of dollars between the middle and upper class. Gotcha,
• 22:42
  So they say it can definitely, while it's not the entire picture.
• 22:47
  You know, money and happiness is just a small part of it. Yeah,
• 22:49
  you can be super rich and super unhappy. We've seen it a million
• 22:52
  times. But overall it can make you happier really all right, Well,
• 22:56
  like you said, so much of your day to day stress is like crunching
• 23:00
  numbers figuring out how you're gonna pay for stuff. If that like, yeah,
• 23:03
  you can sell a bad relationships and stressful things happen health wise, but
• 23:07
  if you got the money part cut out, that's so bad, which is
• 23:11
  unfortunate. You know, I was really hoping it to go the other way.
• 23:15
  No, I mean, I just don't like that money is like the
• 23:18
  bearer of so many things. That's just unfortunately. That's that's the life,
• 23:21
  Amanda. But just imagine being able to have infinite money or close to it
• 23:25
  where it's like if you're feeling down because your tooth hurts or because you got
• 23:30
  dumped, it's like, oh, you know what, I'll just take a
• 23:33
  trip to Fiji. Oh gosh, we were even gonna go to the same
• 23:37
  word. Did you say Haiti? Okay? No, not Haiti? I
• 23:42
  said to Haiti. Oh I heard Haiti, I said, Fiji, I
• 23:45
  thought you said, Haiti. Why don't we just meet in the middle and
• 23:48
  take that trip to Haiti we've been talking about in the morning, Big Nay
• 23:52
  eight point seven. The things people are paying for nowadays is crazy. What
• 23:56
  don't you pay for? I mean, honestly, well, I can't think
• 23:59
  of anything. It's kind of wild. But to name your baby, I
• 24:03
  mean, that's something that you know, idealy you should be able to do
• 24:06
  for free. But people have you heard about this? People are actually becoming
• 24:10
  baby named consultants. It's becoming more and more popular. If you think I'm
• 24:14
  making it up, there was a story done featuring just two of them,
• 24:18
  two of many people who have turned this into a career. One of them,
• 24:22
  her name is Denise, and she's charging three hundred and fifty dollars per
• 24:26
  client. You think that's crazy, Pay three hundred and fifty bucks to have
• 24:30
  a quote expert name your child. Yeah, that's insane because first of all,
• 24:36
  you don't I don't know what information that they're gathering, but it's such
• 24:40
  a personal preference. A lot of times it's within I would say over fifty
• 24:45
  percent of people. The name that you go with has a meaning that might
• 24:48
  be a family like name or you know, something like that. Well,
• 24:52
  she actually says that couples are no longer naming their baby after loved ones.
• 24:56
  They're looking for unique names. But that aren't you know, strained, you're
• 25:00
  weird, but something still unique. So they have the couple fill out a
• 25:03
  questionnaire and basically get an idea of you know, what sort of sounds they
• 25:08
  want, what names are off limits, how many syllables they're looking after it
• 25:14
  do they narrow it down? It's like, okay, I'm feeling it.
• 25:17
  I want you to fill this Outpike. You want your kids name to start
• 25:19
  with an L and it's only four letters and that's it. I mean,
• 25:25
  okay, well yeah, I mean there's a ton of names lamp love for
• 25:30
  example, love lou Lou Louke. Yeah, that's an actual name. Nice,
• 25:37
  perfect, No, they're charging it to three hundred and fifty bucks a
• 25:40
  client. She says she's getting roughly fifteen people a month to pay. That
• 25:44
  comes out to about sixty seven thousand dollars a year just to name. But
• 25:47
  she quit her job. She was a nurse practitioner, which is a lot
• 25:51
  of schooling to go, you're basically a doctor, and she said, no,
• 25:53
  I'm gonna name babies. But think about it, like, how once
• 25:56
  you've done it, and this is really consultant work in general, like once
• 26:00
  once you've done it for one person, you kind of just copy paste and
• 26:03
  you know, probably pretty easy for you. Yeah, I guess for me,
• 26:06
  I just don't understand the need because of the Internet and just names in
• 26:11
  general. I know it's not an easy process. Some people really struggle with
• 26:15
  coming up with baby names, wanting something unique and different. But I don't
• 26:18
  care for this well, she says, people just really are wanting validation or
• 26:22
  a gut check on a name that they're leaning towards. So you're really gonna
• 26:26
  pay three hundred and fifty dollars to a rando, that's a really good idea.
• 26:29
  I mean, I'm thinking, just in general, if I could pay
• 26:30
  somebody just to basically follow me around or every time I think I'm making the
• 26:34
  wrong decision, just call them and they'll be like, no, dude,
• 26:37
  that's perfect. Yep, you're doing it right, You're killing it.
