  Robert: December 28th, 2025. Welcome to the Women in Money podcast,
• 0:13
  Robert: as well as everyone smart enough to listen. Hi, everybody, Robert,
• 0:17
  Robert: the Producer here, and this is our final podcast of 2025.
• 0:21
  Robert: And as is our little tradition, I'm gonna peel back
• 0:25
  Robert: the curtain a little bit to share some outtakes, side stories,
• 0:29
  Robert: and uh give you a glimpse of just how much
• 0:31
  Robert: fun work it takes to put this show together.
• 0:35
  Robert: Now you've heard that KT and Suze are early risers,
• 0:38
  Robert: they've talked about that, but just like you and me,
• 0:42
  Robert: sometimes it does take a few tries to get up
• 0:45
  Robert: to speed.
• 0:47
  Suze: Are you there? You sure?
• 0:49
  KT: Yeah.
• 0:50
  Suze: All right. Ready? You ready?
• 0:52
  KT: Good morning, Suze. I wasn't confused. All right, Robert, this
• 0:56
  KT: is a, a remake...
• 0:58
  Suze: Maybe.
• 0:59
  KT: ... in case we record it, she forgets if
• 1:01
  KT: she pushed the button or not.
• 1:03
  Suze: I'm having trouble today, Robert.
• 1:05
  KT: Yeah, and I'm exhausted.
• 1:09
  Suze: Don't look so cute, OK.
• 1:12
  Suze: Stop at KT. Anyway, February 20th, 2000. Stop at KT.
• 1:18
  KT: Tell them what I'm doing. I'm blinking my eyes, everybody,
• 1:20
  KT: because I just put eye drops in. I'm not winking
• 1:23
  KT: at you. Look, I'm blinking my eyes.
• 1:26
  Suze: I'm like, what is she doing?
• 1:28
  KT: So I have a big announcement.
• 1:29
  Suze: Wait, wait, let me, let me stop, KT.
• 1:32
  KT: OK, go.
• 1:32
  Suze: All right, well, you're looking spry. I like that, KT.
• 1:37
  KT: The leg exercises or the exercises are really kicking in.
• 1:41
  KT: I'm on day 5, I think.
• 1:43
  Suze: I'm there right with you.
• 1:44
  KT: Yeah, but I don't hurt that much. Remember the second
• 1:47
  KT: day I was so stiff?
• 1:48
  Suze: Yeah, we do. Yeah, it's something, all right.
• 1:50
  KT: But now it's good. I like it.
• 1:52
  Suze: I like that we're exercising. All right. Are we ready
• 1:55
  Suze: to start?
• 1:55
  KT: Yea. Let's do it.
• 1:57
  Robert: Now, the only time there's paper in front of Suze
• 1:59
  Robert: or KT is when we do the Ask KT and
• 2:02
  Robert: Suze Anything episodes, and KT is reading out loud your questions.
• 2:06
  Robert: When it's Suze School time, Suze Orman goes into her
• 2:10
  Robert: recording studio, centers herself, hits record, and then speaks stream
• 2:15
  Robert: of consciousness.
• 2:17
  Robert: From my perspective, it is amazing to get this file
• 2:20
  Robert: and then listen to Suze's advice unfold.
• 2:24
  Robert: Sometimes, however, I get brought into the conversation Suze's having
• 2:28
  Robert: with herself.
• 2:30
  Suze: I don't know what to say there. So just they,
• 2:33
  Suze: I wish I could remember where I was. I was
• 2:35
  Suze: too passionate about it. Next, what did I want to
• 2:39
  Suze: talk about, Robert? Robert, let's start that all over again.
• 2:43
  Suze: This is all over the place today. Do you know
• 2:47
  Suze: what do I want them to know, huh?
• 2:51
  Robert: Now, when you do a podcast, just like any other
• 2:54
  Robert: project you're working on, sometimes you need a little sustenance
• 2:57
  Robert: to keep you going.
• 2:59
  KT: Water, water break, Robert. Suze, drink water.
• 3:03
  Suze: All right, KT, are you ready?
• 3:04
  KT: I'm ready.
• 3:05
  Suze: What are you chewing on?
• 3:06
  KT: A little pistachio nut.
• 3:08
  Suze: Where'd you get that from?
• 3:10
  KT: The kitchen. I went and got a water.
• 3:13
  Suze: All right, are you ready now?
• 3:14
  KT: Yeah, let me get a sip of water.
• 3:19
  Suze: Of course, you ate a pistachio nut, of course you're
• 3:21
  Suze: going to be.
• 3:26
  Suze: You make me crazy.
• 3:28
  KT: OK, here we go.
• 3:29
  Suze: Crazy.
• 3:29
  Suze: So, you're ready?
• 3:30
  KT: Yes.
• 3:32
  Suze: One was for you and one was for me. (Laughing)
• 3:47
  Suze: So, oh God, so, you know, sometimes we cough.
• 3:54
  KT: Wait, Robert's not on.
• 3:55
  Suze: Yes, he is.
• 3:56
  KT: Oh no. (laughing)
• 3:58
  Suze: Oh God.
• 4:00
  KT: You have to see it. You have to be here.
• 4:02
  KT: She took out her cough tablets and put two on the
• 4:06
  KT: table in front of me.
• 4:09
  KT: I ate them both.
• 4:13
  KT: OK, are you ready? Wait, now a sip. Can I
• 4:16
  KT: have one of those, um, throat lozenges? doesn't my throat, Robert,
• 4:21
  KT: my throat sounds really dry, right?
• 4:24
  Suze: How's he gonna know?
• 4:25
  KT: He can hear it.
• 4:27
  Suze: When he, when he does his thing because you were
• 4:29
  Suze: working outside and you're working all that dust, and there
• 4:33
  Suze: you go.
• 4:34
  KT: Mhm.
• 4:36
  Suze: Uh-huh. What?
• 4:37
  KT: True.
• 4:38
  Robert: Doesn't it just warm your heart when they giggle together?
• 4:41
  Robert: It's one of my favorite, uh, times of the week
• 4:43
  Robert: when I get to hear that. Now, I just wrapped
• 4:46
  Robert: seven years of working with Suze and KT on this podcast.
• 4:49
  Robert: We're going into our eighth year, and it really is
• 4:51
  Robert: a complete team effort. Suze has the vision. I'll polish
• 4:56
  Robert: and tweak so you get the best version of that message,
• 5:00
  Robert: and KT along with acting as your avatar and framing
• 5:02
  Robert: your questions,
• 5:04
  Robert: well, she never really strays far from her creative director roots.
• 5:09
  Suze: If KT chooses it, we will ask and answer it
• 5:13
  Suze: on the air. OK, go on, KT.
• 5:16
  KT: Before we... move that microphone and move that bottle of water.
• 5:20
  Suze: I don't know why.
• 5:21
  KT: Now move the water away. Thank you. OK, there we go.
• 5:26
  KT: Your hands get very animated and you hit things ready?
• 5:30
  Suze: Did you hear that Robert? All right,
• 5:31
  KT: OK, so my first question is from Benjamin.
• 5:38
  Suze: No, you don't like that.
• 5:39
  KT: No, I do. Hit it. OK. Are we ready? Ready, Robert?
• 5:43
  Suze: What about ready, Suze?
• 5:45
  KT: OK, Suze, are you ready? I have 5 questions that
• 5:48
  KT: I thought.
• 5:50
  KT: Remember we did that one year? It was really fun.
• 5:53
  KT: They had to vote. You gave them three choices. We'll
• 5:55
  KT: do it again in a couple of weeks. Goodbye.
• 6:00
  KT: OK, you go, Suze.
• 6:02
  Robert: Just like when you may be speaking with someone and
• 6:05
  Robert: you get on a roll and the story is really
• 6:07
  Robert: going and then you have an unplanned interruption, we get
• 6:10
  Robert: those too and sometimes it almost derails a recording session.
• 6:14
  Suze: But if you keep it online, like with the must-have docs,
• 6:18
  Suze: if you happen to do it and now all of
• 6:21
  Suze: a sudden KT's got to sneeze, go on, KT, go
• 6:24
  Suze: for it. Come on, come on.
• 6:26
  KT: I'm holding it back.
• 6:27
  Suze: You can do it. Come on.
• 6:29
  KT: I got, I, I, I, I put it away.
• 6:33
  Suze: You put your sneeze away. Oh, that's good to know, everybody.
• 6:36
  Suze: All of a sudden her face started to squish up
• 6:38
  Suze: and I go, Oh no, she has to sneeze.
• 6:40
  KT: When I take my earplugs out, it means I'm gonna
• 6:43
  KT: have to sneeze.
• 6:44
  Robert: You know, it's a little known fact that people from
• 6:46
  Robert: New Jersey have the power to put away a sneeze.
• 6:49
  Robert: I've been doing it my whole life. Moving on. Here
• 6:52
  Robert: are some stories that we had to cut for time
• 6:54
  Robert: this year.
• 6:55
  Suze: Right, I know as we're recording this, but we're in Italy, as,
• 7:00
  Suze: but we're still here even though we're gonna be in
• 7:02
  Suze: Italy when they hear this. KT, you think we're gonna
• 7:05
  Suze: gain weight?
• 7:06
  KT: Totally? Yes, yes, yes. Do you remember that trip we
• 7:09
  KT: took where we went from China to India to South Africa?
• 7:15
  KT: We did three continents...
• 7:16
  Suze: By the time I got to South Africa, I could
• 7:19
  Suze: not fit into any of my outfits, and that's because
• 7:23
  Suze: in India.
• 7:24
  Suze: We went to this school, remember this, KT, right? We
• 7:28
  Suze: went to this school that we were funding of all
• 7:31
  Suze: these Brahmin priests, and they were honoring us, and we
• 7:35
  Suze: ate more whatever, whatever they put on your plate...
• 7:40
  Suze: You ate all of it because otherwise you would insult them.
• 7:43
  Suze: I am sure that...
• 7:44
  KT: I think we had that theory in all three continents China, India,
• 7:48
  KT: and South Africa...
• 7:49
  Suze: And then in South Africa. Oh my God. Anyway, are
• 7:52
  Suze: you ready? Shall we begin? All right.
• 7:57
  KT: Oh, my light.
• 7:59
  Suze: Oh, she needs her light, Robert.
• 8:02
  KT: Oh, wait, wait.
• 8:04
  KT: I'm energized.
• 8:06
  Suze: With light?
• 8:09
  KT: With my um... Guava
• 8:11
  Suze: What do you mean your guava?
• 8:12
  KT: Guava jam, little little bit will do you.
• 8:18
  Suze: Are you gonna send Robert any?
• 8:19
  KT: No.
• 8:20
  Suze: Why not?
• 8:21
  KT: Because I don't think it travels.
• 8:23
  Suze: A guava doesn't travel?
• 8:25
  KT: Guava jam.
• 8:27
  Suze: Robert, you have to tell her if you like guava
• 8:29
  Suze: jam or not.
• 8:30
  KT: If you like guava jam or guava paste.
• 8:33
  Suze: She's been making guava jam and guava paste now for
• 8:35
  Suze: the past two weeks. That's what this whole house weeks
• 8:39
  Suze: of guava.
• 8:40
  KT: It's delicious. It's a fragrant, fragrant.
• 8:44
  KT: Um, what's that word, exotic smell.
• 8:47
  Suze: Aroma.
• 8:48
  KT: Aroma, an exotic aroma.
• 8:50
  Suze: We're over in the states. We come back, Robert, the
• 8:53
  Suze: whole house, and I walk in and the house still smells.
• 8:56
  KT: No, no, no, I told Colo all the guavas that
• 8:59
  KT: fall off the tree or he picks off the tree
• 9:02
  KT: if they're ripe, put them on my shelf in the kitchen.
• 9:05
  KT: I came home and there was
• 9:06
  KT: 15 guavas. The whole house smelled like an aroma, guava factory.
• 9:12
  Suze: What do you think this big strong he-man does? Stirs
• 9:17
  Suze: the guava, the guava for like an hour. All right,
• 9:19
  Suze: are you ready for this, KT?
• 9:22
  Robert: Hey, and just so you know, we did talk about
• 9:24
  Robert: the guava. I might be allergic, so better safe than sorry.
• 9:28
  Robert: So remember at the top of this little episode, I
• 9:30
  Robert: mentioned that occasionally it's hard to start the podcast?
• 9:35
  Robert: Well, sometimes it's a little tough to bring the episode
• 9:38
  Robert: in for a landing.
• 9:41
  Suze: All right, you got any others for me?
• 9:42
  KT: Yeah, do we have time?
• 9:44
  Suze: We might. I don't have any idea. Robert. We'll have
• 9:47
  Suze: to figure this out. All right.
• 9:49
  KT: I don't want to do anymore.
• 9:51
  Suze: Was that all right?
• 9:52
  KT: Great.
• 9:53
  Suze: Was it?
• 9:54
  KT: Yes.
• 9:54
  Suze: You don't have to whisper.
• 9:55
  KT: Yes, it was great.
• 9:57
  Suze: Why are you whispering?
• 9:58
  KT: Because I don't want Robert to, I don't want to
• 10:00
  KT: blow his ears out.
• 10:02
  Suze: You've already been blowing his ears out. What is it,
• 10:05
  Suze: my little sweet?
• 10:06
  KT: People first, then money, then things.
• 10:10
  Suze: And if you do that and stay health, if you
• 10:13
  Suze: do that and stay safe, if you do that and
• 10:17
  Suze: stay strong, safe and healthy.
• 10:19
  Suze: That's all we want for you. All right, bye bye now.
• 10:24
  Suze: No?
• 10:25
  KT: That's not the ending. How we do our ending. Are
• 10:28
  KT: you still recording?
• 10:28
  Suze: How do we do our ending?
• 10:32
  Suze: And if you do that, and do that and stay
• 10:35
  Suze: safe and stay strong.
• 10:38
  KT: No, and stay safe. Bye bye.
• 10:40
  Suze: All right, you want to try it again?
• 10:42
  KT: All right, is it recording?
• 10:43
  Suze: Yeah.
• 10:44
  KT: OK.
• 10:45
  Suze: Go ahead.
• 10:46
  Suze: You can just say it. I threw it to you,
• 10:48
  KT: OK. People first, then money, then things.
• 10:52
  Suze: Great. And do that and stay safe and strong and
• 10:56
  Suze: until Sunday, stay safe. Bye-bye. No.
• 11:01
  KT: No, wait, Robert, she did it wrong again. One more time.
• 11:04
  KT: Take three.
• 11:04
  Suze: What do you want me to say?
• 11:06
  KT: Just end it.
• 11:07
  Suze: All right. How do I end it?
• 11:10
  KT: All right, here we go. People first, then money, then things.
• 11:15
  Suze: All right, everybody, see you Sunday now. Stay safe. Bye-bye.
• 11:20
  Suze: Did I say Monday?
• 11:21
  KT: No. What you do is you say, now you stay safe.
• 11:25
  Suze: All right, try it again.
• 11:25
  KT: That's how you do it. Tell Robert, get rid of you.
• 11:27
  KT: We'll see you soon. Bye bye now.
• 11:29
  Suze: All right, you tell him. All right...
• 11:31
  KT: No, you tell him. You tell.
• 11:33
  Suze: He can hear you.
• 11:34
  KT: OK, OK, Robert. She told you. All right, just end
• 11:37
  KT: with me.
• 11:38
  Suze: There you go. Bye bye. All right, boyfriend, that is everything.
• 11:44
  Robert: So, this is just a small sample as we end
• 11:46
  Robert: the year of the fun that we have working on
• 11:49
  Robert: this podcast. Now, it may sound silly, but I really
• 11:51
  Robert: can feel the love that comes through these audio files
• 11:55
  Robert: from Suze and KT. And then when you hear every
• 11:58
  Robert: single episode of the Women in Money podcast, we hope
• 12:01
  Robert: you can as well. Suze and KT have more great
• 12:05
  Robert: things planned for you to learn about next year. Thank
• 12:08
  Robert: you so much for listening. And now, one final attempt
• 12:14
  Robert: at the ending.
• 12:16
  KT: Robert, we are putting you to the test. See how
• 12:19
  KT: much you pay attention. Ready? People first, then money, then things.
• 12:25
  Suze: Yes, indeed. So all of you stay safe. Bye-bye now.
