Do you. That means it's time for Tuesday's tool with very own, our
very own Dave Jennings, Hey, Dave, what do I love when it
comes to hunting for tools? Dwight Whitten? Well, that's easy. It's
it's uh bride Zilla's true. But this isn't one of those. In fact,
it's the opposite. Okay, let's call our guy Bill Hey. Bill.
Bill is thirty two. He has an older sister, quote who's always
wanted to be a mom, but she hasn't been able to find the right
partner. So after years of waiting, I suggested that she consider IVF treatment.
I even helped her research the process and find clinics. She loved the
idea and decided to go with it. He said his sister had the financial
means to afford IVF on her own, but it meant she had to cut
back on creature comforts and luxuries for the foreseeable future. Then, he said,
after her fourth round of treatment, she got pregnant two months ago.
The man said, the entire family is very happy for her, and she's
happy too. She did expected to take so many rounds of treatment, though,
so the bill ended up being higher than she had been prepared for.
Bill said that while she does have enough money to support herself, but not
very comfortably, she still asked the family for help so she wouldn't have to
make even more sacrifices. Bill said, our parents are retired living on a
fixed income, so they can't contribute much. This leaves me as her main
source of potential financial support. So last week, he said, she sat
me down and asked for money. He said, I have no issue with
people choosing to be single parents if they can afford it, but I don't
believe it's fair to ask others to finance such a personal choice, especially when
there are significant long term financial commitments involved. He said, for further context,
I have a wife and a newborn son. Well, we do have
some extra money. We're saving for a bigger house for our growing family.
He said. We're currently in a single bedroom condo, so all things considered,
he told his sister he would not be able to help her pay the
bill, which did not go over well. Bill said she was heartbroken and
furious. He wrote, she argued that family is supposed to support each other
and that I'm being selfish and judgmental. Our parents are also mad with me
saying I'm not being a good brother, that I should help her because she's
family and this is her dream. They also said it was your idea anyway,
so he said to try to help out. He offered to have the
sister eat dinner with us nightly since she lives nearby, and use my car,
which is electric and cheaper to run for her. She said that's not
enough, He said, I have my own family to think about in financial
goals to achieve. I feel it's unreasonable to put myself in a difficult financial
position for something that was her choice, even if I suggested it. He
added, she actually makes slightly more money than I do. She can afford
a child. It's not like she didn't budget. She just doesn't like being
frugal. She did take me up on the trade cars offer, and she's
eating dinner with us every night. Am I the tool? No? Absolutely?
Or not the tool? I just looked up. By the way,
in vitro fertilization, yes, can cost between twelve and thirty thousand dollars in
thirty thousand per cycle. She had it done four times until she successfully had
a child. Hey, here's what I would do, I'd say, you
know, what Let me do this for you. Let's do a budget for
you. Let me see what your finances are, how much cash you got
coming in, what cash you have going out, and where it's going to
And let's start there. And I bet you she's not willing to do that.
She doesn't want to give up the manny petties every other week or whatever
it might be. You know, there's things that I've had to cut out
of my life for goals to get somewhere. When you decide to have a
child, your life has changed forever. Some of the things you used to
like to do and to ford, maybe you can't now you chose to have
a baby. And by the way, now that you're paying for her dinners
and her actually gas for you because she's using your electric car, she's two
months pregnant. Now, guess what's coming up after the baby comes out?
Don't kidd die, I can ford childcare. Oh I'm gonna need you guys
to babysit. I'm family. How could you not babysit five days a week.
She is definitely the tool. And you know who suffers in this the
most, It's going to be that poor child. I hope I'm wrong on
that, But I don't think I will be Wow, sit down with the
whole family and make a budget and do not get roped into childcare because that's
coming, That ask is coming. Oh you know, keep giving in.
It's coming, you know it's coming. And shame on his parents too for
jumping in going you know why you need to help her out. She's your
sister, you know, especially when she makes more than him. Yep,
exactly right. Oh well we're in agreement. She's the tool. Yeah,
she is the tool. Day one less TikToker on planning. Oh no,
what happened now? Twenty four twenty four year old TikToker. She made a
name for herself. She streams massive eating sessions where she eats overeats for entertainment
of the audience gets off on that. Evidently, it's the thing so much
that even has a name for it. It's called called no, it's called
muckbang. What yeah, muckbang, even in China muckbang. In twenty twenty,
the Chinese government cracked down on muckbang streams because they wanted to reduce overeating
and shameful food waste. But this twenty four year old she was participating in
a live stream seeing how much she could overeat and actually died from it.
The body just gave out. The doctor said that the body gave out due
to overeating, is what the corner said. After the autopsy. The guy
that did the autopsy said her stomach was so filled with undigested food that even
abdomen was severely disformed. Where are the super skinny guys going to get their
women if they ban muckbang? I don't know. That's a great question,
Dave, But yeah, I think that's you know, you look back at
the movie Seven and the Seven Deadly Sins. Yes, so many horrific deaths
in there. But if he asked me the fat guy that he bound and
made to eat until his tomach exploded, Oh, I think that might have
been the most painful. I don't know there was that was gluttony, right,
yeah, it was gluttony. And the well, I don't know that
all of them were pretty horrific. Remember they were remember sloth. Yeah,
they thought that scene took a while though. That's two dollars out, thank
you. I'm making bank with Tony gone. But if you remember, if
if you remember that they showed up to the sloth victim, and they actually
thought he was dead because he was drugged. He was made to lay there,
and he was keeping him just enough alive just to lay there. Oh
what a movie. I went to go see that movie with a date.
Remember when Ray was his name? That's a good day, the ghost something
that you said, what was this day? Answer the question? Oh,
man got the emphysema, laughed, Oh gosh, hang on. Her name
was Sherry. And so if you remember when radio stations we used to do
movie premieres, and some of these premieres you hadn't even seen screeners for uh,
you know, they would show up and hang out tickets. We walked
into this seven movie not knowing what to expect. I didn't know who Brad
Pitt was, but I liked Morgan Freeman. I said, Hey, you're
going to see this movie. She goes, what's about? Said? I
don't know, but it's got Morgan Freeman in it. It must be good
Man going into that movie not having any idea what was about? That was
the way to see seven. That was a good a good movie. Man.
Well, Davide Roff had a had a saying that money can't buy happiness,
but he sure can buy a helicopter that's big enough to land your right
next to it. Let me do that story later. Let me do that.
I'm do this story instead. Oh okay, I'll save the music.
Just did you go, lou Damn you're quick everywhere I go. I gotta
tell you you're quick on these uh pulling these songs out? Man? Thank
you? Uh fight if just as if you know air travel wasn't lousy enough.
A couple of flight at uh stories flight attendants with Southwest Airlines. Now
they're experiencing a new kind of menace in the skies. It's not the guy
or the kicking baby or the you know that's bad enough, the drunk passenger,
the woman, the guys slapping him or her on the ass. I
don't see gender, so I wouldn't know. Admirable. Uh, but thanks
to the summer heat, evidently, soda cans, you know they serve drinks
and stuff whatnot, Soda cans, after being loaded onto some flights, uh,
they've caused a series of accidents. Evidently what's happening is cans of carbonated
drinks are rupturing. It's much more than just the mess though, Because of
cans exploding there's been twenty injuries of employed. Wow, even injuries requiring stitches
from the can bursting and ripping into some of the uh oh refreshment dispenser engineers.
What would they be, I'm not sure what they call. I don't
know what's PC. And how about keeping them room temperature and not let them
get five hundred degrees? I know? How about their album solved? There's
your facts. Dave Jennings, once again to the rescue. And by the
way, airwaight dress or whatever you're called. Just give me the can of
soda. He'll pull out the cup, give me a few ice cubes and
give me a third of a can. Just give me the can. Please.
Always makes me nervous because when I travel, I take an empty bottle,
an empty plastic bottle I filled up with the Is that your pea tumbler
for the flight? No? No, no, the pea tumbler stays in
my bag and listen, need to pee. But I take a plastic bottle.
Use plastic bottle is empty, and I'll just fill it up at the
water fountain, you know, and that way I could cap it off.
You take a drink and then you cap it off. You're not gonna spill
anything. Susan always gets you on the diet pepsi or whatever, and it
sits there and I'm thinking, man, that thing's gonna hundred percent of the
time, I'm always thinking that's gonna spill over and make a mess. All
the kids getting an apple juice and they put it in a cup put it.
So far it hasn't happened. But it amazes me how that has not
happened yet where it just bounces up and gets all over everybody. How are
your flights to Cabo, by the way, any screaming babies or any objectionable
on the way to Cabo, it is one hundred percent breeze. It's it's
just a piece of cake every single time. But without fail, every time
coming back is miserable. We had, uh we were in the airport waiting
to get on from Cabo San Lucas. The Dallas fort Worth were there,
and then sure enough, here's a family with four kids. Every one of
them are screaming, crying, running up and down the halls, and the
mom and dad are just You're looking at each other and going, oh,
look how big they are and all this crap. Well, we will get
on the plane. I'm like, God, please don't be a heiress.
Please don't behind us, Please don't be behind us. Now they sit in
front of us. You know what, you got your prayer answered? Yeah?
Right, I know. But and then in Dallas Fort Worth, without
failure, there was a five hour delay. Oh yeah, all right,
So an ex girl a man who claimed his ex girlfriend had a bomb on
a plane just got sentenced. Happened last December. This some way he claimed
she had a bomb. Did he phone in a bomb threat? No,
listen to it's even worse than that man. It happened last December. The
guy's name is Evan Simms. Okay, they go to him and his ex
girlfriend on Breeze Airlines, a flight from Orlando to Rhode Island. Basically what
happens is they go to the bar, the girl breaks up with Sims,
which, by the way, I know a couple that did this on the
way home from Cobo, and I'm like, you just wait till you get
home. But during the middle of vacation, broke up. And now we're
stuck down there with him, and they're both you wanted to talk. I'm
like I don't. And then they gotta fly back together. Why why would
you ever break up? You break up when you get back, right,
yes, well before you go and don't go. Of course, what happened
is she broke up with him at the bar. That's where Sims poured his
drink on her. He became verbally aggressive after that with the flight crew.
The cop was actually on the plane and Sims allegedly said that his ex girlfriend
had a bomb on the plane. That's when plan you know, And then
they got to turn the whole end plane right regardless of it, you know,
as bs or now. They got to turn the whole end plane anyway,
that's what they did. And police said no. He tells police,
No, I didn't. I didn't say I had a bomb. Psych I
said, calm, And they said no, no, no, you said
bomb. What else rhymes with bomb? That would have worked there? Bomb?
Call? What he went ABC? Next letter? Calm, I said,
calm, you mean comb? How do you learn English? I don't
know. I have no idea anyway. So what's his sentence? Two years
in jail? Wow, here you can murder someone be out in five months?
Yeah, with with like thanks to a judge Kaylin, Yes, letting
people out soon as they get arrested eight months he's already served, so he's
been he's been in there for eight months awaiting trial. Then twenty five thousand
restitutions to the airline. In short man, he is ft, Yes he
is, Oh, yes, he is one bad thing. I've got a
list coming up. You're gonna like we did one of these while you were
gone. Okay, these are borderline unethical life hacks that are kind of clever,
or are they if not a little underhanded are coming out? Hey,
listen, there's nothing underhanded when it comes to getting your car serviced or worked
on. If you go to Tony's break in alignment, you know how hard
it is to find automotive technicians that you could ask, actually trust. It's
hard to do unless you go to Tony's Breaking Alignment. You're gonna love the

markets. Stocks are starting to get in a bit of traction. Traders are
waiting through a large number of corporate earnings. The SMP is up three tens
of a percent, the Dow rising eighty points ups though, which is a
big barometer of economic growth. Uh. They said, the prophet is falling
short of estimates. So that's the stuff that we're watching today with the news
radio eight forty w h Bloomberg Money report on Courtney Donahoe woo. Had to
get your ass going news ready to eight forty whs, Little Lemmy and Motorhead
there for you. Dave Jenny's Dwight witting getting on through your Tuesday here.
Started to do this story earlier. Then we backed off because we covered something
else. But davely Roth, I think davely Roth said something along the lines
of, you know, money can't buy happiness, but its sure as hell
can buy a helicopter to land you right next to happiness. And I got
to think that's the truth. And evidently that is the truth. There's a
new research published by Killingsworth who looked at a net worth of people and how
it corresponded with their happiness. And it's no, it's no shocker here,
Dave. Here's the David Lee Roth quote. Money can't buy you happiness,
but it can buy you a yacht big enough to pull up right alongside it.
Okay, I was wrong. It was a yacht, not a helicopter.
I used to have a drug problem. Now I make enough money.
I'm not conceited. Conceit is a fault and I have no faults. He
who knows how will always work for he who knows why. There's a line
in the last The album that Van Halen did was a new kind of Truth
m M twenty and again it was great. There's one song. I didn't
care for it, but it was great. But there was a line in
one of the songs where David Lee Ross says I've been rich and I've been
poor. Rich is better, totally better. It happened he had van Halen
and then at one point man he was an ambulance worker in New York City,
New York City, New York City. And then of course reunion happened,
and rest is history made some more millions. It's kind of like Yogi
Berra with this quote. You know, he really is, I don't get
all the women that I want, I get all the women that want me.
You gotta admit the guys pretty good. Yeah, yeah, And he
was like a vaudeville fan and stuff. So that's probably you know, Henny
Youngman type. The problem with self improvement is knowing when to quit. We
should do a whole break on David Lee roth Man. There's a lot of
them one morning. Anyway, it does turn out that money can indeed by
happiness, So it seems from this study corresponding levels of personal happiness along with
the network. Let's look, okay, with a net worth in the millions
or billions. It didn't work for Robin Williams. Well, that's true.
Yeah, that was a depression problem. I think, yep, having an
average Okay, if you have in millions or billions, you have an average
life satisfaction rating between five point five and six. This is out of a
scale of seven. Okay, so that's pretty high five point five or six
out of seven. If you're a million or a billionaire billionaire, compared to
those who pull in one hundred k a year, their life satisfaction rate is
around four point six. Hmmm. And then those making between fifteen thousand and
thirty thousand annually, they come in with a four out of seven. I
think that would have been lower because I've been I've been in the struggling position
before. Everyone's had those moments, and I got to tell you it's rough,
man. When you get that brown bill from lg and Ean, they're
getting ready to cut you off, and I mean, it's rough. It
seems like it would be lower than that. There are plenty of people,
though, that have lots of money that aren't very happy. Their lives are
train wrecks. No, that's true. Who was the guy yesterday Castro going
through as billions in lottery winnings? Oh? I know. And they used
to piss me off to no end when they would get all these former lottery
winners on, like Phil Donahue would do it all the time, and they
say, the lottery win ruined my life. I was perfectly happy, and
then I got millions winter go somewhere else with that crap man. So all
right, listen. Top of the hour, Dave has a list for us
Borderline on ethical life hacks you may want to jot down. Actually, I
think I might like these. I think I'm gonna love thee I think you
will. And then later we're gonna wrap the show with this day in history.
A lot of stuff happened on this day in history, so lots to
get to, a lot to hang out to. But here's Tony talking about
something. In a second
