You know, you can also DM us on Instagram at Bachelor Happy Hour. So how's your week been? How's it going? Okay. That doesn't sound good. You should see her face right now.

Yeah. Today, let me just say, today, like I'm as far from paradise as you can get, okay? I am taking a friend to the airport this morning. I leave the garage door open and we're getting in the car. I start to put out of the garage, my garage drawer, which weighs like 600 pounds because it's solid wood with metal backing, crashes into the hood of my Mercedes. Dents it. It looks like, you know, it looks like, I don't know, monkeys were jumping all over.

Don't they usually like bounce off and stop and they go back up? This bounced and didn't stop. It hit it. And what happened was the handle in like several places. The handle, like the release handle, you know, for an automatic garage. somehow it came loose because the string was whatever it doesn't matter can i just tell you i called the company that installed it because the guy that was here who installed it the first time to now fix it said yeah we made a mistake like we're supposed to keep those ropes tied shorter so they

don't catch on your car because if they do it catches the metal and it releases the thing and hits your car so it's their fault yeah so i called up the manager and i said I said, your workman said, you know, we have to do better. And he goes, not we. And I said, exactly, your worker needs to do better. And would you like the name of my, you know, collision repair company? So my car, really, it looks like someone just pounded it. Oh, gosh.

That was my fun day. Nobody got hurt. Look at the power. Nobody got hurt. It's just the car. It's just, but you know what? It's the only car I have. I know.

I hear it. Did you have a good day? You having a good week? Yeah, it's been a crazy week actually. Yes, it's always crazy. It's always crazy, but I'm enjoying it. Okay, well, that's good. It's been crazy. 100, 102. Yeah, but you know what, that's, that's, that's, that's summer in Austin. That's the way, that's what it is here all the time. So, you know, welcome to my world. All right. You're ready to get in the episode? We're going to start with the question of the day. Here we go. How does money play a factor in adult friendships? You know, what are some. faux paws regarding money that you wish more people were aware of. Can I just say, now that you've been studying French, you know what a faux pa is? Let me just say.

Let me just say. People are clueless sometimes. About? About money. Well, like for instance. Friendships, I think friendships or just in general? Friendships, like when the girls all go out to dinner, like after work, we go out to dinner and the one girl doesn't drink at all and the other girl has to have

three espresso martinis afterwards and that gets added to the bill like think about it this girl doesn't work or doesn't have as much as you have like think about it so I think that's one of the faux pos that people will order the most expensive thing on the menu and 15 drinks and then go hey Kathy let's just split the bill and I'm looking like but but I have been listen it cuts both ways. I think another faux pa, that one is, to order expensive food, lots of drinks, appetizers, and then Kathy rolls in, you know, orders a salad and a glass of water, and my bill's a hundred bucks. Like, what? So that's a faux pa. Be mindful of other people. But I think another one is, and equally bad, is when you go out to a restaurant and you'll say, can we

have separate checks. And that is a lot of work for a server. And women, I'm going to get hammered for saying this are notoriously bad tippers. That has been my experience. They're like, well, I'm not going to give them 20% because I just ordered this or I just ordered that. That has nothing to do with. The tip is a service. I'm just telling you what people say.

So I feel like if you pay your own bill, great, but make sure you're tipping appropriately. I think if you borrow money, you know, neither a borrower nor a lender. be i'm sure it says that in the bible somewhere um i think i think too many people borrow money and then you know what happened susan oh i do because they get amnesia i've lent money out i borrowed money from you i don't remember that good friend it always hurts a friendship yeah it always does i mean i've had the situation quite a few times that i've lent money and i had to call every or text every payday oh i can't do it this week my rent is due it excuse me. Yeah. You know, it happened to me with a very good friend. I think I've told this story

before. And I lent the money. And she said she'd paid back when she was a nurse. She said she would pay it back when she got paid in six weeks. Is the doctor now and still hasn't paid it? No. She finally, it was ugly. And she said, she finally fessed up and said, you have more money than I do. You can afford it. And I said, oh, no, no, no. That has nothing to do with it. So that's another faux pop thinking that when you borrow money you don't have to pay it back. I'm not a borrower ever.

No. Well, no. I mean, like when you and I are on our cruise, I've paid for a couple of things, you've paid for a couple of things, and we'll straighten out. But you and I are like that. We'll say.

Well, it's still money and it's still with a friendship. No, not when you're both doing it and you're going to away together and you're splitting it. You know what I mean? But I'm just saying it's like it's when you borrow. That's different than when we're doing something together, I think.

Anyway, I think when you go out to dinner, though, my experience, again, has been men are like, let's just split the bill. Women are either what we said initially, like, you know, they'll order the most expensive thing and then say, let's split the bill. Or they're very vocal. I only want to pay for my bill. Oh, or someone says I forgot my wallet, you know, can you put it on? I'll pay you back later. seen that one in a long time. But I also, some people, if we're going to split and one person,

because you and I have been in the situation, and the one person says, no, no, no, I only had this, this, this and this. And they want to pay exactly that. No, no, no gratuity. No tax. I'm like, whoa, whoa, wow. Yeah. I don't, if it's a difference of 20 bucks, I'd rather not. And I'll great. Well, I'm glad on this cruise, Susan, thank you so much. I'll be letting you, Susan, it's only 20 bucks. If it's 20 bucks, don't worry about it, Susan. It's on you. I do think money, though, it can cause a lot of problems. It can.

I think it's being self-aware, as many things in life are. It's, oh, you know what? I went to the spa. Susan gave me $100 because I forgot whatever. I need to go back to my room and get you the $100. Like, it's just being self-aware. And Susan, I don't have the $100 to pay you back. So thanks so much.

I really appreciate it back. Ben moved me, Kathy. I don't have my phone. Oh, my gosh. My boyfriend's professor is way too friendly, and now I'm seriously suspicious. Wait a minute, Sam. Maybe her boyfriend's just looking for extra credit.

Well, Dakota, it's back to school week on the OK Storytime podcast, so we'll find out soon. This person writes, My boyfriend has been hanging out with his young professor a lot. He doesn't think it's a problem, but I don't trust her. Now, he's insisting we get to know each other, but I just want her gone. Now, hold up.

Isn't that against school policy? That sounds totally inappropriate. Well, according to this person, this is her boyfriend's former professor, and they're the same age. And it's even more likely that they're cheating. He insists there's nothing between them. I mean, do you believe him? Well, he's certainly trying to get this person to believe him because he now wants them both to meet. So, do we find out if this person's boyfriend really cheated with his professor or not?

To hear the explosive finale, listen to the OK Storytime podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. All right, Wes, Wes, Wes, prop here from who. politics with prop podcasts, you already know our get-down.

Make sure to listen to Spolitics on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. All righty. We're going to start our fan question.

Questions. Okay. Let's go. They're going to be good today. Anonymous here from Delco, my area, Kathy. Oh, boy. I can't wait to read this one. I need some advice. I recently moved in with my boyfriend of two years. I couldn't wait to start this next chapter. Let me start by saying I lived on my own, very comfortably within my means. He lives in a more expensive area and his rent is expensive. Now he makes more than two times my salary, but he expects me to pay half of everything. I give him half of his rent every month, and I think he appreciates it, but he will make little comments about other expenses. I really try to buy groceries, things for the house, etc. When we go out, he will make comments about him paying for the bill. I just feel uncomfortable. I'm struggling as a lot of my money goes to him now. Oh, boy.

I have zero disposable income. Sometimes I feel as if it would be better going back on my own, living within my means. There you go, Anonymous. I really don't know what to do as I do love him, but I feel as if I am his roommate now and not his girlfriend. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Oh, yes, Delco.

Delco, Delco, we love you. Kathy, what's the first word that comes to mind with the C? Curb. Hit him, send him to the curb. Communicate. You need to sit them down and freaking tell them exactly what you told us. You make more. You live in a more expensive place.

Yeah, I like the idea of send him to the curb. This is a red flag. She's right. I hate to tell you, Delco, but I think he's earning twice the money. He's looking to have a nice situation. where he lives in a nice place and you're paying half the rent if you this is why by the way again listen miss delco i'm sure you're a lovely girl i bet you are because i know people from delco and they are all lovely people so here's the thing though if you moved in with him and you

didn't have these conversations first and maybe they did maybe he earned less money but the fact is if you didn't have these conversations to begin with, you know, Joe, I don't earn a lot of money and, you know, I'm a whatever, you know, whatever she does. And I don't have a lot of money. I don't have a lot of disposable income. So how are we going to work this out? Because if his What is fair. Yeah. Well, what's fair is splitting everything down the middle. And is she totaling up the food bill? Because I know grocery store are expensive. No, but she's saying I try to buy groceries. The fact is, it sounds like he wants to split everything down the middle. And that's fair in the legal, you know, most finite definition of the word.

It's fair. But she moved into his place, which was way more expensive than her place. Well, and that's where she went wrong. Before going in, you're right. Before going in, I would have said, babe, my rent is not like this. So how do you want to work this? Because I cannot afford. Or, Susan, I got a really simple solution for.

Hey, buddy, you tell him you want sex, money on the table, charge him. every time you'll be you'll be you'll be moving you'll be moving to the penthouse here pretty soon i i know you're thinking it'll be better to go back on your own living within your means but before you do that if you really do love him and if he loves you he will make the time sit down and communicate and share exactly the truth always sets you free tell them exactly how you're feeling this i don't feel like i could keep up here i moved into your place and he's collecting half. So he's on scot-free

and makes more than two times more than you. That's not fair. I wouldn't present it like an ultimatum, but I would definitely at the end of your conversation because if we can't work something out, I'm going to have to go and get my own place. That's an ultimatum, Susan. Well, say it's still an ultimatum.

I'm telling you, I would say, Delco, you need to back up and say to him, let's test how you know how much you are his roommate and how much you're his girlfriend if you say to him hey joe i really do love you but this is too much for me i don't have any disposal income i can't go out with my friends i can't buy the new pair of shoes i want because you know you earn twice what i do sweetie and and good on you you've gotten lots of raises but this is what i earn and i can't do this so if if so I'm I think the best thing for me to do is move back will still be boyfriend girlfriend but you know you live here watch him change his tune because I'm guessing well that's the same

thing I said no no don't don't I don't give an option don't say if we can't work this out and I would say um you know if things change we become engaged whatever but right now this you Take, I guess what I'm saying to her is take charge of your life, be responsible for who you are, for your expenses, and, you know, don't expect him to say, oh, that's okay, sweetie. I'll cover everything. Yeah, well, you know what? Is that how she wants to live? No, he may say it's okay. To move out?

No, no, no, no. That he'll pay more. I say. Does she want to be a kept woman? I don't know. That's not a kept woman. She's still going to pay her way, but it's just not. half. Right. I think the, I think the lesson here is Ms. Delco, lovely woman that you are,

and to everyone else listening, have these conversations before you move in. Don't wait until you're knee deep in it and it's going to get ugly. It was a simple question. So let's talk about what you expect from me. Like if I move into your house with you, Susan, I mean, I can't because you know, Frederica probably going to be there. But let's just say, you know, you have the I'm being serious. Let's just say we were two girlfriends, friends that we are, and I decided to move to Philly, and I'm making this all up, obviously. Would you expect me to pay half of everything? Because you have to pay for, but I would expect you to pay rent, yes? Yes, but I'm saying. Anybody that lived here would pay rent, right? Yeah, but here's the thing.

When you're young and they all have expenses, then you have to sit and do a budget. I bet they Yeah, you see what you're up against. Can I afford it? Yes. So Delco, you should have done that. You should have seen. Well, should have could have what of. She didn't.

But now she is. She needs to talk to him. Let us know. Let us know. Have the conversation. Susan's right. I got a room for rent. Right in Austin.

Yeah. Susan, listen, Delco, you know, you might want to move in with her. And let me just tell you. You can run the pool. You can run the house. But here's the thing. When she's home, she'll cook for you. She'll straighten your hair for you.

It's really. But you just have to be really neat. Oh, God. No, you have to be on really neat. I hope you don't mind while you're eating. She's going to be sweeping the floor underneath your chair. But other than that, thank you so much for writing in. Good luck.

And you know what, I hope that the love that you have for this man, I hope it continues. But work it out. Try to work it out. All right, let's move on to question number two. Hi, ladies, I need some advice. My friends and I are all recent college graduates, all working our. first full-time jobs. Most of us make stable money while our friend Tilly makes well over six figures as she works in finance. Here's the deal. Tilly is the only person in our group that

nickels and dimes us for everything. And there it is. Isn't that always the way? For instance, everyone else pays for drinks, calls, cars, etc. And never requests money because we all know it's a constant flow of us getting things for each other. Well, that's a mistake. Anyway, However, any time Tilly buys anything, she charges us for it immediately. Some of the girls have tried to talk to her, but she always just says, just request me and I'll pay you back. It hit a breaking point when she Venmo requested us each $1.37 exactly for Uber to go to someone's house for dinner. It was an Uber to our friend's birthday dinner, and she also requested the money

from the birthday girl is this friendship breakup worthy since we've tried to talk to her or are we overreacting money is the only issue we have with tilly and we love her otherwise thanks so much okay susan can we answer this one in unison man a dollar 37 i would give her pennies Susan would No Susan would Venmo you A nickel a day A nickel a day for the next

Oh geez Let me just say That there's something wrong It's ridiculous There's something wrong First of all, yay Tilly That was my grandmother's name by the way And she's making great money

That's the best part Six figures right out of college It's the name Tilly I love it She's tight Whatever it is She said some of the girls have tried to talk to her but she always says just request me and I'll pay you back here's where the problem is remember I said earlier do they not request her right no no no remember

neither a borrower nor a lender be remember I said that here's what she said she said for instance everyone else pays for drinks blah blah blah and never request money because we all know it's a constant flow of us getting things for each other there's your problem right there yeah it is That's your problem because if you don't have a kitty, if you're all going out for dinner and you don't put the money in the kitty to pay for the ubers and the drinks, whatever, you got a problem. You got a problem. If you say, oh, it all comes out in the wash, well, Tilly, apparently it doesn't come out

in the wash. And so. So what do you think, Kathy? Is it something that you break your friendship? You know, wait, Susan, wait. Some people don't know what a kitty is. We got to tell them what a kitty is. is a kitty is you put your money together you put it in a wallet and it's where you like a group of

girls are going out you say let's each put 50 yeah let's let's each put 50 dollars in the kitty and that's what everyone pays that night for so one person's responsible for managing the money and that way nobody is quote paying for things and it all comes out in the wash everyone's paying an equal share That's the right way to do it. So I would tell people. Try that with her first. Try that with Tilly. Yeah, before you break up, say,

you know what? We're going to do it differently now. When we all go out, we're going to have a kitty and everyone's going to put it in and decide what the number is. And none of this Venomel later stuff, cash on the barrel head, right? Cash on the barrel. Bring your pennies because $1.37, it's going to be heavy.

And I give her one at a time because that is bullshit. She is being an ass. if you ask me. I mean, maybe let's $1.37 and she did it for the births. Susan. I'm going to play the devil's advocate here for a minute. She's earning six figures.

You know what? Maybe Tilly. Did he handle $1.37? No. Maybe Tilly is, maybe Tilly's trying to prove a point. We don't know. We're only getting one side of the story. Maybe Tilly has paid for several rounds of drinks and the girls are, and the girls alike.

Do you think the girls would have said that? maybe maybe not i mean we're only that's why they have courts of losses if you're listening darling you don't look good right now you're making a lot of money and you're sending a text that you want a dollar 30 you're not hearing what i'm saying maybe i'm hearing and i'm reading and i'm listening but maybe tilly maybe tilly has paid more than her fair share and maybe she's tired of it some of the girls have tried to talk to her. Anytime Tilly buys anything, she charges them immediately. So, no, she has not picked up the tab. You don't know that. It says it right there in ink. It says she's the only one who nickels and dimes, but she goes on to say Susan Darling that

we all just kind of flow, the money flows because we all pay for things. That's the problem right there. Constant flow of us getting things for each other. However. Getting things for each other. Don't do it. However, when Tilly buys anything, she charges them immediately. So have Tilly do her own tab.

If you still want to be your friend, Tilly you're on your own, do your own thing. I mean, I honestly, I honestly would probably cut, you know, make her listen to this podcast and say, so Tilly, you're being cheap. So Tilly, congrats on your six-figure job. We would love for you to take Susan and me out for drinks and you pay. And we will each then owe you $1.37 as our contribution to the evening. And a lot of times we go out and you buy a round, I'll buy the next round. Nancy will buy the next round.

It's all fair. It's all even. When everybody's doing the same thing. If one person's having a Coke and two people are having champagne, you know, it's different. And that's why money back to the question. of the day. That's why money becomes an issue because we don't know the, you know, the elephant in the room here is, you don't know who has money and who can afford it, who's the last of the big spenders, and who really is on a tight budget. And damn it,

I cannot afford to buy Susan two martinis tonight. You know, you don't know. It's funny. I'm the one that's on the tight budget and I end up picking up the tab for so many people because they hesitate and then I feel uncomfortable. I always do it. My boyfriend's professor is way too friendly, and now I'm seriously suspicious. Oh, wait a minute, Sam. Maybe her boyfriend's just looking for extra credit. Well, Dakota, it's back to school week on the OK Storytime podcast, so we'll find out soon. This person writes, my boyfriend has been hanging out with his young professor a lot.

He doesn't think it's a problem, but I don't trust her. Now, he's insisting we get to know each other, but I just want her gone. Now, hold up. Isn't that against school policy? That sounds totally inappropriate. Well, according to this person, this is her boyfriend. former professor and they're the same age. And it's even more likely that they're cheating.

He insists there's nothing between them. I mean, do you believe him? Well, he's certainly trying to get this person to believe him because he now wants them both to meet. So, do we find out if this person's boyfriend really cheated with his professor or not? To hear the explosive finale, listen to the OK Storytime podcast

And on the latest episode of politics, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries joins me for a candid

conversation about the state of the Democratic Party. What do Republicans say to you privately that they won't say publicly? Many of them are in fear of their political lives, and that's been part of the challenge. But we continue to say to them, you were elected to defend your constituents, to stand up for your constituents, and there's life after Congress. And you should be willing to actually want to be able to look back on your your time in the House of Representatives knowing that you can keep your head held high because you did the right thing. Donald Trump is gone in three and a half years, but their legacy or

their failure to stand up to the extremism and the unprecedented assault on America as we know it will be with them forever. Make sure to listen to Spolitics on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. Okay, wait. I have to tell you, I went out for drinks. This is so funny. We're having this conversation today. And you know the girls, so I won't mention her name. But one of my friends here, she, I went out and met her for drinks. And I had been out for lunch with a friend and I wasn't hungry. And I had some chips, you know, that were on the table. And I had two drinks. And I said, let's split the bill because I'm like you. God forbid someone call me cheap. She goes, no, no, no, you just had two drinks. So I asked how much to the, and by the way, I was sober. I just not great at math. I said, oh, well, now let me just pay for my drinks. And to your point about tip and tax, the guy said, well, your drinks for $14 each.

I said, well, here, let me give you $50. And I got home and I went, wait a minute, $28. $28. That guy got a hell of a tip or she put a lot of money in a lot. $35 would have been good. And she took it, right? Oh, yes, she did. see what I mean people but I'm just saying you and I are kind of the same cloth like God

I'm very aware oh that Susan Knowles she's so damn cheap yeah I don't ever want to be that well we wish you luck don't let us know because I really really would like to send her a memo charge for a dollar 37 hey Tilly Tilly listen up girl I love your name it was my grandmother's name but you got to stop being so cheap either say to the girls hey I'm treating tonight and then stop nickel and dimming them. Just do one nice thing for your girlfriends because you know what? The girlfriends are worth so much more

than the $1.37, they're paying you. It's so true. By the way, Susan? Today. Wait, Susan. Yes. Why haven't you, I Venmo requested you $2.10 since you have not paid me yet.

I would laugh at you, okay? I know you would just literally laugh. Today, we're going to be doing a golden spotlight segment. So there's no games today, Kat. It's a golden spotlight segment where we talk about something that impacts the golden community. Today, we're going to be talking about scams. I mean, how about how they get over on so many elderly people.

I mean, we are golden, okay? Okay. And we're very proud of it. And we preach to everyone how life is not over. it's still full of possibilities, but you do have to be careful. So here's the thing. I think Golden's, and honestly, I don't put myself or you in this category because I think you and I are more aware of, because we're on social media, we keep up a little bit more

than some. But not everybody is, yeah. Right. So I think that's why, because golden people don't always know they can't hear. I'll tell you a story, true story. my mom, my stepmom, who passed away two years ago, who was really my mother, she got scammed. I'm not going to say how much, but several thousand dollars. A guy called her. She couldn't hear. She did never hear any aid in. And she said, hello. And my mom said,

Kyle, which is my, you know, Kyle. And the guy said, yeah, grandma, and it wasn't even when the name he calls her. And he said he was in Mexico. in a jail and he needed money and please don't tell my mother she'll be so angry my stepmother god lover she went to western union and wired the money and then he called back and said grandma i need more she wired more money and and there was a happens every there it did now western union uh there was a settlement there was a apparently there was some insider you know BS going on and she did recoup some of the money but when i said to her You know, I sat her down and I said, why?

She said, I don't know. I just thought maybe he didn't want you to know. Because your first reaction is to help your grandchild. Exactly. And I said, so that's part of it. But even on the phone, they say it's the IRS or I do it. I get it from Amazon saying I, da, da, da, da, da, da, like, ams, what? I think because it catches you off guard.

People didn't grow up, Susan. Yes, they're not used to. They didn't grow up with, click here for your delivery date. Oops, they now have your contacts and they've, you know, they've gotten into your bank account. Or the IRS. The IRS will never, ever send you a text message, first of all. Either does the electric company say, if you don't pay $500 right now, they're turning off your power. And so the thing that we can do, PSA, is say these things over and over.

But I think it's. Don't believe everything. Check it out first before you give any money or your bank account or your social security. number. Right. But here's the thing, I think they're victims because many golden people are not sophisticated with technology today. And so they believe it when, you know, some creep reaches out and says, we're going to turn your electricity off and it's 100 degrees out. They believe it because they can't imagine how somebody would have gotten their number because they don't understand technology. And I think that is, if I had to give the single biggest reason that Goldens are

scammed, it's that they don't understand technology. And AI, can I just say, AI is bringing a whole new, you know, because they can capture, you know, well, good and bad, but they can capture your voice now. So AI could capture my voice and call you and it would sound, it would be, it would be my voice. And that's going to be a whole new level of deception. But I do love AI and more Goldens should use it because it does answer your questions. You don't need encyclopedias anymore. I don't even think the modern day child here knows what an encyclopedia is. I use chat GPT constantly. Well, it should be Gemini. I'm a Google girl. It should be Gemini you're using. I don't. I don't use it because I'm a writer and I don't. I don't. I'm a writer and I

don't need help writing. But it's not about writing. It answers a lot of questions. So does Google. I mean, I just think it's like Facebook go into Instagram. Yeah, exactly. It's like here's your step up. But it's the way of the future. And you, you're right. Golden's don't trust more modern things because they're not used to it. Luckily, we have children that help us. I think, I think they do trust Susan. That's the problem. They trust it. They don't understand that. that the goodness, the good parts of AI or technology and technology to use it to your benefit, can be abused to scam you out of money. And so how many times locally, oh my God, I hear it all the time on the,

I get them all the time on my phone, you know, click here. And you know what they'll do? They'll copy like it'll look like Amazon. Or the IRS. Here's what I say to people. when you the first way to get a scam to cite one is when you get an email and there's no picture on the on the on the thing there's no picture of a person and the email is some bizarre email it's not gmail.com it's you know i tbx it's a bot and so you know people but again

goldens don't know how to look for that stuff you and i do because And a lot of times they're doing it by phone. They're calling them. Well, you know what the answer to that is, Susan? PSA number five for the day. If you do not recognize the phone number, do not answer it, let it go to voicemail. And then if you have any question, you call one of your kids, call a younger person, say, I got this call. Do you know they leave a detailed message?

Like these scammers, I've had them, and I'm laughing, listening to it. A couple of times I thought twice, like, no, no, no. You know what I've done? I've called them back when they say, you know, your tax bill is late. Well, I happen to know my tax bill is never late. And so I call them back and I start whimpering going, I'm so afraid. What do I do? Oh, we're going to help.

Oh, no, I keep them on the phone. Oh, yeah. I keep them on the phone the last time they have to screw with somebody else's life. They should all be hung, I'm telling you. Well, you know what? It's taken advantage of seniors. It's just not right. I think taking advantage of anybody is wrong.

true. This is true. And, um, but get ready. Buckle up because scams with AI are about to, you know, multiply. So, Goldens, if you're listening, if you're not sure, don't answer the phone. If you're not sure, don't open the link. Never open a link unless it's from your children. And you'll know what their email is. Just don't, when in doubt, ever give money.

Don't give them bank accounts, social security numbers. Be sure. Go check with someone else. How about the skin? Wait, can we talk about the love scam? Since we do love to talk about dating. How about the people? Oh, they tried me many times. I have a friend who actually, quote unquote, she never set money, but she fell in love with a tall, dark and handsome guy who was not tall dark and handsome. He was in jail in Nigeria. I mean, it was like, are you kidding me? So, you know, again, if you are desperate for love to not take. Pay attention.

Do not take to people that email you out of the clear blue and tell you they love you and they want to marry you and they live in Nigeria. Not a good idea. Well, I hope we helped you Delco and the Tiffy or Tilly person. Get it together with your doll or something. Tell you, you're going to be okay. Just open up your wall a little more. And all our goldins pay attention.

Don't get taken advantage of because it's done so often. It's just sad. Scams. It's a four letter word. I know. Scam. And this has been fun, right? Oh, always fun with you. Always fun. I love you.
