WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:04.120 It's the Minnesota Goodbye. We have a special guest today, Bash. 2 00:00:04.639 --> 00:00:05.120 Who is he? 3 00:00:06.080 --> 00:00:12.599 No? I was training Baily. Hello, Yeah, just gating Bons 4 00:00:12.599 --> 00:00:13.199 here today. 5 00:00:13.279 --> 00:00:18.760 Hey, he for joining US Academy. All right, that's enough. 6 00:00:20.239 --> 00:00:22.079 Get you get to speak for one minute out this 7 00:00:22.239 --> 00:00:26.000 entire podcast. So choose wisely. No, just kidding, just kidding. Okay, 8 00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:29.079 here we go. Let's come right into the emails. This 9 00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:32.359 person says, I'm writing in hopes of getting your perspective 10 00:00:32.439 --> 00:00:36.960 on a wedding invite situation. So follow along closely because 11 00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:41.640 it's kind of detailed. My cousin's daughter is getting married soon. 12 00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:45.560 Most of my immediate family recently received formal invitations in 13 00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:49.039 the mail, including my parents and brother's family, but I 14 00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:52.119 haven't received one myself. What's puzzling is that I was 15 00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:55.759 invited in the couple's Facebook Save the Date event last year, 16 00:00:55.799 --> 00:00:57.799 and I know they have my address because my girlfriend 17 00:00:57.840 --> 00:00:59.640 and I have sent them Christmas cards the past couple 18 00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:03.000 of years. We're not extremely close, but we did all 19 00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:05.760 go to the same small town high school and see 20 00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:09.480 each other at major holiday gatherings and family birthdays. I 21 00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:12.359 also serve on a nonprofit board with the bride's mother, 22 00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:15.280 so we have a friendly connection over the years. I'm 23 00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:18.599 not usually one to stress over wedding invites, but this 24 00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:23.000 situation has me second guessing, especially since the Facebook invite. 25 00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:25.920 I don't want to assume I'm invited and show up unannounced, 26 00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:28.040 but I also don't want to make anyone feel awkward 27 00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:30.239 if it was an oversight, or if they had to 28 00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:33.400 make tough guest list decisions, maybe it was lost in 29 00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:36.040 the mail. Would it be appropriate to reach out to 30 00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:38.760 the bride directly to ask or would it be better 31 00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:41.400 to speak with her mother? Or should I just let 32 00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:44.920 it go and assume the lack of an invitation was intentional? 33 00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:47.519 Thank you dart Lick dirt, Like, like, I don't know if 34 00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:48.640 they want me to say their name, so I'm going 35 00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:51.319 to leave them anonymous. So what would you guys do? 36 00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:54.319 Would you confront the situation because they were invited to 37 00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:57.200 the Facebook group and everyone else in their immediate family 38 00:01:57.200 --> 00:01:59.519 has gotten their invite or are you just going to 39 00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:02.879 like let it roll and see if maybe the invite 40 00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:04.959 comes in eventually or you're just not invited. 41 00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:09.159 I liked what they said about asking their mother because 42 00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:11.680 then I mean, then you can get the answer without 43 00:02:11.719 --> 00:02:15.960 like stressing out the bride. Also, if you are not invited, 44 00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:19.400 then you don't have to create an awkward conversation with 45 00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:22.080 you and the bride, because that would be so awkward. 46 00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:25.759 So if you think her mother would know the answer, 47 00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:29.360 if not, I don't know if you're like close with 48 00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:31.879 the mother, but it'd be cool if like, if you 49 00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:34.479 weren't invited, then the mom can be like, so is 50 00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:36.599 so and so coming to your wedding and maybe she 51 00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:39.840 can like drop the hint and then see what the 52 00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:41.479 bride says. 53 00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:43.759 Yeah, yeah, I would ask the mother for sure. 54 00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:48.520 Yeah, but I feel like the bride and groom, like 55 00:02:48.520 --> 00:02:50.680 the people like hosting the wedding, you have to be 56 00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:53.199 prepared to have that awkward conversation if you're going to 57 00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:56.080 quote unquote accidentally throw me in the Facebook chat like 58 00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:59.080 now I'm confused. So now if I'm confused and I 59 00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:00.560 come to you, you have to be prepared to just 60 00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:02.719 man up and be like, yeah you are You aren't invited? 61 00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:05.919 Well, they probably don't if they if they did intend 62 00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:08.039 to invite you and then they didn't realize that you 63 00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:10.719 didn't get the invitation, then it would be confusing for them, 64 00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:12.120 Like what do you mean are you invited? 65 00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:14.800 Yeah, But then and then it's just like, oh my bad. 66 00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:16.840 But then if it's like, oh yeah, we didn't mean 67 00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:18.800 to put you in that Facebook group chat, it is awkward. 68 00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:21.000 But I mean, well, you have to think about it 69 00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:23.919 that the Facebook group chat or the group whatever started 70 00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:26.199 a year ago, and a lot of times throughout the 71 00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:29.000 year of wedding planning you do realize like, I've got 72 00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:31.639 to cut some guests, so right, So yeah, I would 73 00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:33.840 say what Bailey said is go to the bride's mother. 74 00:03:33.879 --> 00:03:36.400 If you have a relationship with that person, you serve 75 00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:38.680 on the board together, so it seems like the easy 76 00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:42.039 go too, and then yes, you can refrain from stressing 77 00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:44.960 out the bride and groom and potentially making them. 78 00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:49.080 Feel Yeah, exactly, So I especially if you're not invited anymore, 79 00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:53.240 I would say definitely ask But yeah, I would say 80 00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:56.080 ask the mother. So and if you are uninvited and 81 00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:59.520 all of your family is invited, there's the police. No 82 00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:01.759 I'm going to say, like could you be their plus one? 83 00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:05.199 Because I have been invited to like my cousin's weddings 84 00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:07.560 on my dad's side, and my parents are divorced, but 85 00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:09.680 I'll bring my mom as a plus one because I'll 86 00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:12.080 be like, Okay, I could either bring someone who will 87 00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:14.919 know zero people at this wedding, or I can bring 88 00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:17.240 my mom, who's going to know everyone at this wedding, 89 00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:19.879 but they just wouldn't invite her because my parents are divorced. 90 00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:21.560 Yeah, so that's a good option. 91 00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:23.000 I don't know if they'd want to do that because 92 00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:25.759 they have a partner themselves. So I feel like they 93 00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:27.199 probably would want to go to the wedding and be 94 00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:27.959 able to bring their. 95 00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:30.040 Partner, but maybe not. Okay. 96 00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:33.240 The next email we had had an email sent in 97 00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:37.000 yesterday asking us our favorite budget tips, and so here's 98 00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:40.000 some tips from someone and how they love to save 99 00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:43.079 every little penny. They said, shop at ald whenever you can. 100 00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:45.600 For those high price items. You can find name brand 101 00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:50.720 things like Rao Pasta, I don't know how to pronounce it, 102 00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:55.279 Rouse Rouse Pasta, Pasa, General Mills, Cereal and such for cheaper, 103 00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:57.680 but the big hitters are produced Daarien meats. 104 00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:00.199 You save a ton when you get those. Is that 105 00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:03.040 all deep? Next one when a road trip. 106 00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:05.439 When on a road trip and needing gas, Jenny, this 107 00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:08.040 is a good tip for you, they say. Google maps 108 00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:10.800 will tell you what gas price is per gallon at 109 00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:13.800 different gas stations. When you search your route for gas stations. 110 00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:16.240 This also tells you how out of the way the 111 00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:17.639 gas station is when you need to stop. 112 00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:18.360 That's good to know. 113 00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:22.199 Keep your money in a high yield savings and checking account. 114 00:05:22.879 --> 00:05:25.240 Many banks and credit unions to offer some type of 115 00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:28.600 high yield savings account and possibly checking account. I like 116 00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:31.040 American Express and I have a three point eight percent 117 00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:34.560 interest savings and one percent interest checking account with them. 118 00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:37.480 Don't let your money sit and do nothing. Investing in 119 00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:40.879 mutual funds and long term savings is great, but sometimes difficult, 120 00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:42.680 So why not just keep all of your money in 121 00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:44.959 an account that will essentially pay you to do it. 122 00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:48.519 My amex account has no fees and no minimum balances, 123 00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:51.120 so make sure whenever you wherever you choose to put 124 00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:54.120 your money it doesn't have fees either. I do have 125 00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:56.560 a high yield Save Bailey and Eye Boss that started 126 00:05:56.639 --> 00:05:57.839 high yield savings accounts. 127 00:05:57.879 --> 00:05:59.360 Yes in the last six months. 128 00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:01.800 Just check mine yesterday, because I don't know it was 129 00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:05.040 on my mind and I've only had it since January 130 00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:08.959 and I've already just from my interest gained four hundred 131 00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:10.160 and eighty one dollars. 132 00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:11.519 Right, so doing nothing right. 133 00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:14.279 So, just to break it down, highyield savings accounts are 134 00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:17.639 basically you earn interest on the money that's in that account. 135 00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:21.360 So so for instance, I bank with Huntington Bank, I 136 00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:23.639 have a savings account with them. All the money sitting 137 00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:26.839 in there is not doing anything besides sitting in there. However, 138 00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:30.680 in a high yield savings account, they are like it's 139 00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:33.920 a lot of jargon and whatever, but essentially they're using 140 00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:37.560 your your money to help them in business ways. So 141 00:06:37.639 --> 00:06:40.120 because they have access to your money, they're paying you 142 00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:42.839 interest on your money for save putting it in there. 143 00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:44.759 But you can do whatever you want. You don't have 144 00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:47.399 to like have it sitting in there for five years 145 00:06:47.439 --> 00:06:49.079 and not have access to it. You can put it 146 00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:51.399 in there and then it gains interest. And like this 147 00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:54.680 person said, some of them don't have minimum balances and 148 00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:57.199 you I would never do one that has a fee, 149 00:06:57.800 --> 00:06:59.839 so make sure also, like they said to not. 150 00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:02.720 Anyone has capital one And I have a three point 151 00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:06.199 six interest rate. But like gosh, looking at oh, I've 152 00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:08.839 made four hundred and eighty one dollars in five months. 153 00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:12.079 Wow, I wish I had this way sooner. Like years 154 00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:13.759 sooner would have been great, right. 155 00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:15.920 You guys are so much better than me. Alyssa tells 156 00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:18.360 me every day like I don't, I don't. I haven't 157 00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:21.720 even like touched my four oh one K or like 158 00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:24.240 set that up, which is so bad because it's literally. 159 00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:26.360 You're young and I'm not gonna judge you for that. However, 160 00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:28.639 I also was like you who waited too long to 161 00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:30.519 do my four a one K believe it or not 162 00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:34.839 for someone who's very like money savvy, so I would 163 00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:36.839 say it's one of those things that's on your task 164 00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:39.519 list that you're like, fuck, I don't want to do this, ye, 165 00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:41.720 just call just call Fidelity. 166 00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:44.439 That's what we go through here with iHeart, and. 167 00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:47.920 Just call them and like set it up and they 168 00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:50.120 are going to ask you questions that truthfully, I didn't 169 00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:52.240 really know the answer to. Andrew was there at the time, 170 00:07:52.360 --> 00:07:54.839 and so he helped me, Like I had the person 171 00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:58.040 on speaker and he's like, yes, like go high risk 172 00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:01.439 now and do whatever later. Like there are definitely certain 173 00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:03.120 things that they'll ask you that might be a little 174 00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:06.319 bit confusing if you don't do your research, But setting 175 00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:08.399 up for your four oh one K is so important, 176 00:08:08.519 --> 00:08:11.959 especially because our company just brought the match back where 177 00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:13.959 they'll match up to five thousand dollars of a four 178 00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:16.560 oh one K, So that's free money, like you literally 179 00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:19.600 some people will say, don't put money in a four 180 00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:21.920 to one k invested in property, Like there's so many 181 00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:25.600 different things out there that people tell you. However, everyone 182 00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:28.160 will agree that if your company is matching your four 183 00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:30.839 oh one k, you should definitely contribute to a four 184 00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:33.240 oh one k. We didn't have that kind of We 185 00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:35.080 didn't have the match for the last like four years. 186 00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:37.039 So when they sent us an email saying that they're 187 00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:40.200 bringing it back, it's not a lot, I was so stoked. 188 00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:43.159 So anyways, okay, sorry, back to the budget tips from 189 00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:46.720 this person, Stephanie. Go through your credit card and bake 190 00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:49.559 statement for the last three months and see what automatically 191 00:08:49.679 --> 00:08:51.919 is coming out, what bills you are paying, make sure 192 00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:55.200 they are legit, remember day's jib jab, and also pay 193 00:08:55.240 --> 00:08:58.320 attention where the majority of your non essential money is going. 194 00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:01.480 If you stop at the coffee shop, a skip one 195 00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:03.720 day a week, going out for launch or dinner a 196 00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:06.360 lot question marks. They say, replace one of those a 197 00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:09.080 week with a frozen meal, a box dinner, et cetera, 198 00:09:10.360 --> 00:09:12.440 and she has got a couple more. Have an automatic 199 00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:15.559 transfer from checking to your savings account every week or 200 00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:17.639 directly from your paycheck to make sure you are for 201 00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:21.080 sure saving at least something. Only take money out of 202 00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:23.919 your savings if it is absolutely essential. Even saving ten 203 00:09:23.960 --> 00:09:26.600 dollars a week in a high yield savings account will 204 00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:29.879 build up and compound over time. And then last the 205 00:09:29.919 --> 00:09:34.120 biggest tip, start this all today. The earlier you start saving, 206 00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:37.320 the faster you can build your cushion. Saving money can 207 00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:39.080 be easier than you think if you put your money 208 00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:41.759 in the right places. The good luck this comes from 209 00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:45.240 Stephanie and Yeah, like I just said, you just got 210 00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:45.480 a call. 211 00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:46.279 Make it. 212 00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:48.759 I won't say today, I will give you a week, 213 00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:51.720 but it's it really is one of those things that 214 00:09:51.759 --> 00:09:54.000 you're like, you'ready to do. Bailey and I were like, 215 00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:55.360 we know we need to put our money in high 216 00:09:55.399 --> 00:09:56.799 yield savings acounts, but we didn't do it. 217 00:09:56.879 --> 00:09:59.759 And then how long did it take to like five minutes? Yea, 218 00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:00.679 really five minutes? 219 00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:03.639 It seriously was so quick. So look into all of that. 220 00:10:04.039 --> 00:10:06.879 And Stephanie, thank you so much for your email. That 221 00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:14.720 was super inful. Met Okay, let's see what this says. Hey, hey, 222 00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:17.240 it seems like Dave is always on vacation lately. Just 223 00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:20.960 curious to know how many vacation days everyone gets per year. Also, 224 00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:23.799 if you were to get, say a whole month off, 225 00:10:23.919 --> 00:10:25.360 where would you like to go on? 226 00:10:25.600 --> 00:10:27.919 Va ky This comes from Marie. 227 00:10:27.960 --> 00:10:31.039 So Dave, I believe, gets six weeks of vacation because 228 00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:34.279 he has been here for five hundred years, so he 229 00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:35.320 gets six weeks. 230 00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:41.759 I get. I think I'm at like eighteen days now. 231 00:10:42.279 --> 00:10:45.519 I've been here for almost ten years, so I think 232 00:10:45.559 --> 00:10:48.080 I'm at like eighteen ten. 233 00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:50.120 Yep, Ailey and I both get ten. 234 00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:50.840 iHeart. 235 00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:52.679 The way it works is we start with ten. 236 00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:55.080 When you get in the company full time, and then 237 00:10:55.320 --> 00:10:57.480 as I think every five years that goes by, you 238 00:10:57.519 --> 00:10:59.720 get an extra couple. And then some people just have 239 00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:02.559 a way of negotiating, like a couple more or something 240 00:11:02.600 --> 00:11:02.879 like that. 241 00:11:02.960 --> 00:11:04.559 Yeah, yeah, vacation day. 242 00:11:04.600 --> 00:11:07.559 There's something that people negotiating their contracts if we are 243 00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:10.559 not getting compensated in other ways. 244 00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:12.720 So that is why I. 245 00:11:12.679 --> 00:11:15.879 Have a weird I have a weird number of eighteen 246 00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:19.559 versus I probably would only have fifteen. But that was 247 00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:23.840 one of my contract negotiations anymore. Yeah, last time. And 248 00:11:23.879 --> 00:11:27.519 then well, also they have the other question of if 249 00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:28.919 you could get a whole month off. 250 00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:30.600 Where would you go on VACA? 251 00:11:30.919 --> 00:11:34.759 Okay, I personally would probably travel to Southeast Asia, and 252 00:11:34.799 --> 00:11:36.840 I wouldn't stay in just one spot because that's just 253 00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:38.919 not who I am. I like to see everything that 254 00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:41.840 I can, so I would definitely just kind of hit 255 00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:44.639 up a bunch of different places. I'd go to Bali, 256 00:11:44.759 --> 00:11:47.639 I would go to I did go to Thailand, but 257 00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:50.600 I didn't really explore explore Bangkok when I was there. 258 00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:52.720 I'd want to go to Vietnam. I want to hit 259 00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:55.080 all those spots and maybe pop over to like New 260 00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:57.919 Zealand and Australia too. So what about you guys a 261 00:11:57.960 --> 00:12:00.200 month long VACA? 262 00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:03.440 Well, gosh, if I had a month, I would honestly 263 00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:07.000 probably spend like five days just like chillin' getting my 264 00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:09.039 life in order, because I would love to just you know, 265 00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:11.360 clean my home and make sure it looks really nice 266 00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:13.600 and just relax for a minute and then for the 267 00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:15.840 rest of it. I agree, Jenny, I would love to 268 00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:19.480 go to New Zealand because they have like like kind 269 00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:23.080 of studio accurate or film accurate hobbitin from Lord of 270 00:12:23.080 --> 00:12:25.639 the Rings. And I would love to go and see that. 271 00:12:25.639 --> 00:12:26.799 That would be so cool. 272 00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:32.720 And I have one or two friends, two friends in Australia. 273 00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:34.799 It'd be cool to see them. It'd be cool to 274 00:12:34.799 --> 00:12:37.480 go to the Australia Zoo see Robert Erwin. 275 00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:41.159 In real life. Yeah, he's there all the time. 276 00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:43.759 Yeah, show up. I mean, like just works there. That's 277 00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:46.159 just like his job, which is insane to me that. 278 00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:48.240 He's just a zoo keeper, such a baby thing. 279 00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:50.399 He is so hot and it's so weird because he's 280 00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:54.279 twenty one. But whatever, that's besides the point I would like. 281 00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:57.200 I mean, I would love to see the Scottish Highlands. 282 00:12:57.279 --> 00:12:58.360 That would be really cool. 283 00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:02.399 I would probably bop around too. I would be boobop. 284 00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:04.879 Yeah. I do a lot of bopping. I mean, there's 285 00:13:04.879 --> 00:13:06.720 plenty of places in the US. I just I'm not 286 00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:10.240 a world traveler because there's always so many things to 287 00:13:10.240 --> 00:13:11.519 do right here in my own city. 288 00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:12.000 Mm hmm. 289 00:13:12.759 --> 00:13:14.360 So honestly, I would do anything. 290 00:13:14.440 --> 00:13:16.960 If somebody's like, hey, you want to go explore the Midwest, 291 00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:18.600 I'd be like, hell yeah, that sounds fun. 292 00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:20.360 Hell yeah, pimp in hell yeah, pimp in. I have 293 00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:23.720 two potential answers. One of them's quick Hawaii. I don't 294 00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:26.080 know anything about Hawaii. I've just Melissa and I've been 295 00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:28.799 watching Temptation Island and then it's in Hawaii and it 296 00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:30.600 just looks so gorgeous. But i feel like that's the 297 00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:33.000 cliche answer, So I'm gonna say Puerto Rico. I always 298 00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:35.320 tell you guys, I'd love to go to Puerto Rico. 299 00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:38.559 And I would probably be boobop around too, because there's 300 00:13:38.879 --> 00:13:41.559 San Juan, which is like the tourist the like the 301 00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:43.960 go to place when you go to Puerto Rico. Definitely 302 00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:46.200 want to do all that shit because I am a tourist. 303 00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:49.559 But then like even the smaller islands like vik As 304 00:13:49.639 --> 00:13:51.159 is like a very like a couple of years ago, 305 00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:54.279 Hurricane A re hit vick As and they've been like rebuilding. 306 00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:57.559 It's been like seven years, so I'm sure it's back to, 307 00:13:57.639 --> 00:14:00.480 you know, somewhat normalcy and just have the authentic food. 308 00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:03.519 And I want Puerto Rican food from somebody's grandma's house. 309 00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:07.519 Yeah, and just pop into some random person's house. We get. 310 00:14:10.279 --> 00:14:10.960 I love it. 311 00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:13.120 Well, that was a good question. Thanks for us sending 312 00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:16.960 those in so one more email I have. It says hello, 313 00:14:17.120 --> 00:14:20.320 I just wanted to pose a question to It says 314 00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:22.159 just you, ladies, because they probably didn't think that you 315 00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:24.440 were going to be on vunt But since Dave is 316 00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:27.440 out for the week, it says, do you think pretty 317 00:14:27.440 --> 00:14:30.399 privilege is as common as Dave makes it out to be. 318 00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:32.799 We all know where he stands, since he brings it 319 00:14:32.879 --> 00:14:34.320 up a lot, but I would love to hear your 320 00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:38.399 honest and unfiltered opinions on the topic. My opinion is 321 00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:40.960 that it's not as big of an issue as maybe 322 00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:43.039 it once was. We live in the day and age 323 00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:45.519 where anyone can be pretty and attractive if they decide 324 00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:48.279 to put enough time, effort, and money into it. We 325 00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:50.879 have options now like in visi line, weight loss, meds, 326 00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:54.000 laser treatments, et cetera, that can make us all more 327 00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:58.559 conveniently or conventionally attractive. But also the majority of tasks 328 00:14:58.559 --> 00:15:01.399 are done remotely. Now, we don't even see what people 329 00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:03.480 look like a lot of the time for pretty privilege 330 00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:06.799 to become a factor. And lastly, I think beauty is fluid. 331 00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:09.120 I think most of us go through phases in our 332 00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:12.000 life where sometimes we are more attractive than other times, 333 00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:14.679 so the pretty privilege would come and go. I would 334 00:15:14.720 --> 00:15:17.559 love to hear your thoughts and that comes from Ali. 335 00:15:17.879 --> 00:15:20.320 So bailly do you want to kick it off? 336 00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:22.399 Well, I mean, I think it exists. 337 00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:25.080 I think what you ali your point about it being 338 00:15:25.559 --> 00:15:28.279 anyone can afford it at this point, or like you know, 339 00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:30.360 if they have the money, they can afford to be pretty. 340 00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:34.039 That's where my problem lies with because like, for example, 341 00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:38.440 the Kardashians. Obviously, I honestly think the Kardashians are gorgeous, 342 00:15:38.720 --> 00:15:41.399 but it's not because they're like, you know, naturally gorgeous. 343 00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:43.440 It's because they have the money to be gorgeous, and 344 00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:45.159 I don't have the money to be gorgeous. 345 00:15:45.399 --> 00:15:46.360 So therefore I. 346 00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:49.279 Feel ugly sometimes because other people have the money to 347 00:15:49.279 --> 00:15:52.279 be gorgeous. And also I think just when you grow 348 00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:55.120 up being bullied and stuff for being ugly, then you 349 00:15:55.200 --> 00:15:59.159 do get kind of uh jaded by gorgeous people. But 350 00:15:59.840 --> 00:16:03.919 I I don't think necessarily that they're privileged in the 351 00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:06.720 sense that like Dave would think that they're privileged, like 352 00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:10.799 they get better jobs and everything for being pretty. They 353 00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:14.159 just might get treated better without knowing it. But honestly, 354 00:16:14.200 --> 00:16:16.519 I don't think that's a bad thing to be treated 355 00:16:16.559 --> 00:16:18.799 in a certain way because you're good looking. I think 356 00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:21.720 the real problem is Instagram face, where everyone on the 357 00:16:21.720 --> 00:16:23.679 internet looks exactly the same because they're all getting the 358 00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:26.399 same work done. That's always kind of creepy to me. 359 00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:29.039 But I do think people are beautiful when they have 360 00:16:29.159 --> 00:16:32.120 unique features that are different from others. Yeah, in my 361 00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:33.919 humble opinion Jenny thoughts feelings. 362 00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:36.559 Yeah, I mean, I do also think that pretty privilege 363 00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:39.080 is definitely a thing. Still, I do not think that 364 00:16:39.279 --> 00:16:42.559 it is to the extent of what Dave thinks it is, 365 00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:44.759 because I feel like Dave kind of puts everyone in 366 00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:49.039 this bucket of Instagram influencers, and there's just so many 367 00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:51.279 other jobs out in the world. But I feel like 368 00:16:51.279 --> 00:16:54.039 he focuses on the people who only have a following 369 00:16:54.080 --> 00:16:58.480 on Instagram because they're pretty, Whereas, like, okay, influencers make 370 00:16:58.559 --> 00:17:01.879 up what percentage of the general population of working people, 371 00:17:02.039 --> 00:17:04.720 not a lot, a very small percent. So when you 372 00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:08.559 look at other industries, I just don't think that your looks, 373 00:17:09.160 --> 00:17:12.920 take like, are that important to getting a job. So 374 00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:20.279 there are definitely jobs that being pretty are in advantage. Yes, 375 00:17:20.519 --> 00:17:24.119 of course, like a news anchor being in sales. I 376 00:17:24.119 --> 00:17:27.599 think salespeople, if you have personality and on top of 377 00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:30.759 that you also are good looking, you are definitely going 378 00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:33.319 to do better in sales. That's just well known when 379 00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:35.640 it comes to sales. So I definitely think that there's 380 00:17:35.640 --> 00:17:38.039 a privilege there. But I also would like to point 381 00:17:38.079 --> 00:17:40.680 out that there are a lot of different privileges out 382 00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:43.799 there outside of pretty privilege. There are so many and 383 00:17:43.839 --> 00:17:45.559 I don't want to get into all of those, but 384 00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:49.960 it's like, how you know, I got a good education. 385 00:17:49.720 --> 00:17:51.039 At the University of Minnesota. 386 00:17:51.079 --> 00:17:55.000 I have a decent intelligence, I feel like, but like, 387 00:17:55.640 --> 00:17:57.640 what about the people who got to go to Yale 388 00:17:57.640 --> 00:18:01.559 and Harvard because they're so smart? Is there intelligence privilege 389 00:18:01.640 --> 00:18:03.000 or whatever you would call. 390 00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:04.400 It, like for their degree privilege? 391 00:18:04.680 --> 00:18:04.880 Right? 392 00:18:05.160 --> 00:18:09.000 I do think that there's different kinds of privileges because 393 00:18:09.440 --> 00:18:11.839 you look at certain people who are so smart and 394 00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:13.440 they get really farig in life. But then you look 395 00:18:13.480 --> 00:18:16.240 at other people who just aren't as intelligent, and so 396 00:18:16.279 --> 00:18:19.240 they don't go as feign life because they just aren't 397 00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:21.799 capable of doing the jobs that a super smart person 398 00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:25.759 is able to do. So yes, I would say pretty 399 00:18:25.759 --> 00:18:28.839 privilege is definitely a thing. I just think that the 400 00:18:28.839 --> 00:18:32.240 focus that Dave puts on it is solely a lot 401 00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:35.519
