On a recent episode of the podcast, Money and Wealth with John Hobriant, I sit down with Tiffany the budgetista Aliche to talk about what it really takes to take control of your money. What would that look like in our families? if everyone was able to pass on wealth to the people when they're no longer here. We break down budgeting, financial discipline, and how to build real wealth, starting with the mindset shifts. Too many of us were never, ever taught.

Now, these are about lunchbox and prices, right? They didn't know yet that lunchbox didn't make the show. But here we go, number one. Your lunchbox talks about a car if he didn't get on today, tell the producers that his car broke down and he hasn't had a car for two years. and he really wants to win a car. Just a suggestion. Love the show. Great angle.

That's a great story. Instead, you said, I'm here so you guys can entertain me. I entertain. I entertain millions every morning. It's my turn to sit back and watch the show. Yeah, that was a weird one, man. Entertainment me. Like I said, it didn't come out the way I wanted it to.

Like in my head. It ain't a suit. It's a tucks, idiot. Dummy. He did say, oh, you're in a suit again, one guy. I said, that's a tucks. Oh, boy. So you're just supposed to not correct someone?

Like, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. And those are the people we need to pick you, so you just rubble us a little. Yeah, like Amy said, just say thanks. Appreciate it. Yeah. Hope you like it.

Glad you remember it. Yeah. Dang it. Give me the number three. I'm dying over here laughing at the lunchbox segment in his Netflix series, the price you would pay for the price is right. I love it. Thank you lunchbox.

Even if you don't make it on the show, this has all been worth it. He didn't make it. Yeah. So, we won't spend a whole lot more time talking about how you didn't make it. Thank you. I mean, it's still like, it still feels like a bad dream. What about the night after you didn't make it? When you had to go back in a city that you didn't live in,

in a hotel that probably wasn't as comfortable, without the excitement and the long flight back home, was it miserable? That's pretty miserable. Was the airport, like, was that miserable, like to fly all of it? The flight, I was fine. I mean, I just kept thinking, man, I'm leaving Los Angeles and I didn't make it. Like, I came out here for one reason. Okay.

It's the opposite of party in the USA. But he sounds like he's an actor. Like, he went to go make it and he didn't make it. He spent three days trying to get on a game show, dude. That's trying to make it. I mean, it is. And I will say that it's like, it was exhaust. Imagine for some they've been there like 10 years trying to make it.

I agree. Like every restaurant I went to, I did think about that? I was like, did these guys move here? Did you just get on prices right? And they still haven't. Well, not just prices right. But like, did they move out here trying to make it and now they're just like a server? Or is this what they wanted to do?

They're probably some of them probably serving so they have a shot to make it. That's happening here, though, as well. Every time you go into a restaurant, a lot of the young people here are serving so they can try to make it. in the music industry. Oh. Like we had a waiter last night. We went and had dinner and he was an artist, like trying to make it as an artist. He told you?

We could just tell. Oh, yeah, yeah. We could just tell. I mean, you did have that one artist that one time that guy that used to wait on you? Yeah, no, he's got like three number ones now. What? Yeah. Writing.

He's no longer serving. He's no longer serving. He wrote three number ones now? I think so. Yeah. At least I know of two, possibly three now. Wow. Yeah.

Because I know that he started going to be a millionaire now. Dang. That's crazy. That's crazy. I don't remember his name, but I remember him. Johnny Closson. He wrote Ella Langley, number one, Blake Shelton, number one. What was his name?

Johnny Closson. That's the guy that worked at the Frisco? No, it's a different guy. Our other waiter. You've had multiple waiters going, like, Make it? Well, like you said, there's a lot of servers in town. That's weird.

One of them, he was our waiter, a place, my wife and I went to a lot. He never told us he was an artist. And we went that same place for like a year. And he just nominated for a CMA. Wow, Johnny is. It's crazy. Oh, really? Yeah, for Song of the Year.

He wrote it. Which one? Texas, Blake Shelton. Oh, yeah, that's awesome. He worked, we'd see him every week. It's like our guy. And so he was like, hey, I'm not going to be here next week.

And we're like, oh, do you quitting? He's like, yeah, he's got a publishing deal. I'm going to go and just full-time write songs. We're like, you're a writer because, yeah, I'm trying to be an artist, writer. And I was like, man, I respect so much that you didn't, like, throw that at me the first time because a lot of people do. And he was like, yeah, I just wanted you guys to have a good experience. So then when I was doing my first comedically inspirational shows, I just invited him to come out and watch. I brought him up to play without him knowing.

And he played, and he played, and then now he's written multiple number ones nominated for a CMA. Probably got a million bucks in his pocket. Dang, that's a step up. That's the life. Well, that's the grind. Yeah, and that's what I felt like when I was out in L.A. For three days. The grind.

You aren't working now. Sampling margaritas? No, no. It sounded like you were living a good life. It was a grind. I mean, it was exhausting. And I, after I would lay in bed and this is weird to say, but I was like, you know what? I got to give more respect to Bobby because when you used to say, oh, I was so tired from dancing with the stars on my.

Oh, come on. You know. man I did it for three days and I was beat beat and you did it for like three months and so I'm like oh maybe it was a little harder than I thought you're comparing your price is right story to bobby winning dancing with the stars just a training part of it the training of it that's what I'm saying do you feel like that you were doing the same like train you just train for three days yeah like my mental focus for three days was at an all-time high oh boy dialed in yeah and I was and I think the adrenaline and I was just

like I was so tired afterwards and that's when I was like okay maybe I didn't give Bobby enough credit for how tiring it was to do dancing with the stars and work well thanks man you're welcome I'm just saying like

from one person that grinded to another I mean we understand we're basically grinding on each other right now no we're not entertainers we're not grinding on each other we're not grinding on each other no we're not doing that we're not doing that

how disappointed are you? And do you think you'll become more disappointed as the days go by? Or have you maxed out disappointment and you're moving on? I think as the more the days go by, I'll get more disappointed, right? Isn't that how it works? You're going to sit there and go, and then a week I'm going to be like, God, why don't I do this? And you're going to think of things you could have done or said or, I don't know.

What'd your wife say about it? Oh, you went, yeah, I mean, I'll save that. I just want to know, like, did she feel like you were, was she disappointed in you? I don't think she was disappointed She just felt bad for me Okay, that's good Felt bad Did she think you'd get on?

Yeah Was she counting on you to get on Maybe for like a little extra money? Oh yeah She thought it was a shoe in Like a little Christmas money Coming out of your way You already budgeted for it?

She thought it was 100% That's nice She's like there's no doubt Like we're on the plane ride there And I said man What if I don't get And she goes Oh you're getting on

First day I was all right I feel like you know though Like I'm thinking of like Let's use George Berge an example Like his wife, she's been with him since they were in college and all along the way. She's just believing him, believing him like, you're going to do this. You're going to make it.

And now look at him. Like, now he's got number ones. But that's like your wife. Like she's by your side believing in you the entire time. So don't give up. And then you too could be. That's a tough analogy. But okay, I see where you're glad.

What? George is someone who has like honed, crafted his skill. I know. Toward, like gotten better through years of. But I know. I've just heard his wife talk about how like she was just, and even George for that matter. like she believed in him the entire time. They've just been together for so long.

She's seeing the highs and the lows. What are we talking about here? Yeah, this is not the same. Him going to prices right. For three days and his wife believe it and he gets lucky. No, I'm saying, no, I'm not talking about the three days. I'm not comparing the work ethic, guys. I'm saying your wife should not give up on you.

You should keep pursuing this dream. I think she should give up on them. I think she should talk some sense. My wife talks sensitive to me sometimes about certain things. And I think this is one of those. She's like, yo, you just spent thousands of dollars going out to. price is right, you didn't get on. Let's not do that again. Like, let it go. Yeah, let's let's let that one go. Like, unless you get cast for the show, we don't fly out there and spend all the money

until you get cast for the show. Wow. Wow. Well, you know, Amy, he's been trying this forever. No, no, he hasn't tried at all. No, I haven't, but he hasn't tried at all. But he's talking about that miss call that he got. Yes, when he was like 16. Right. I was 21. Yeah, like, but his wife believes in him, guys. But giving up on him, he's just standing online. It's not like he's getting better at something. I bet a lot of men out there would say like, yeah, because my wife stood by me. And that's somebody who makes it through law school, that's somebody. Or even for some women, it's like because my husband believed in me and he was by my side encouraging me the entire time, like, and allowed me to chase my dreams, you know, because

sometimes that's a sacrifice that the partners make. That's like her telling him he's going to win the lottery. That's the same thing. I was just trying to be encouraging guys. I mean, he did practice. I just thought it was sweet that his wife really prices. How much is a, how much is a, gallon of milk cost? That is $4.79. Are you just making that up or do you know? That's what it is. Depending on what brand you get.

That's a good average. No, I don't know. I was just asking for... In California, right? That's what he practiced? That's a good answer. How much is California? Gallant of milk.

California... Like not grass fed. In California, it's the average price in the United States is 322. and in California it's over $5. Wow. 479? Pretty close.

You didn't go over. 522. 50 cents. There you go. 4.79. Pretty good, dude. 50 cents, though, as a whole. It's kind of, when it's only $5, 50 cents is, you know, 10%. But, hey, good for you, ma'am.

Thank you. I mean, don't give up. I mean, it's not like they're coming to town. They're not doing open casting calls. It's crazy that when we did the Vegas one and there was like 500 people in there, I got called down. I think about it. I did nothing.

It was just locked. You didn't wear a tux? Oh, say what? Say it again? It was what? I did nothing. And it was. It was pure logic.

Look, look. Because you're lucky. Because you're lucky. You're the luckiest people we know. Listen to me. Listen to what I, let me finish my thing. Say it louder.

In Vegas. I think there was just something about me. Mm-hmm. Oh, yeah. Your demeanor? Do you think I was lucky that I was, if they're looking for, you know, Bobby, you said it, not me.

White men in their 20s? That's what I was then. You put yourself in good situations and you work hard. However, you are also lucky. Can we talk to producers on that one? I don't remember. No, we just literally bought a ticket and walked in. All of us.

And then they called your name and we were like, what? Yeah, they're not shooting that for TV, so they're not looking for anyone in particular. And you won a microwave? I did win a microwave? You did? Well, I got up there. I got up. That's what we bit on a microwave and then I got up on stage.

Did you actually win the microwave? Yeah. They gave me money. I took the money inside. I was in Vegas. I lost it like in one spin. I put it on the wheel. But he did $1 that chick next to him.

Yeah, I don't remember any of that. I remember that. It's a blur. Who is the host? But $1 is better than... Because $1.00 is not Dirty Dog. No, no, you $1 over to her. Oh, that's dirty dog.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. There you go. Oh, different than just saying $1. Yeah, yeah. That dirty dog did then. Yeah, like say she said $195, he said $196. But is that really dirty dog or is that strategy?

It's part of the game. It's a dirty dog, but it's fair. Yeah. Yeah. All's fair and love of Warren Prize is right, baby. You can't help that that's the position you were in. Yeah, I was going to do 196 anyway. Eh.

Ray, give me the voicemail for her. I would love to know movie Mike's review of the Ed Gein monster story because I watched it and I'm not into horror at all and I was like kind of into it. So I'd love to know what he thought about it. Thanks. Did you watch it? I haven't seen it. I've seen the preview on Netflix.

I don't know much about it. I don't really get into the serial killer stuff that much unless everybody else is like, it's so good. So that I have not seen. Yeah. You went to Virginia? I did. How to go?

It was so fun. Pretty fancy school. Yeah. I guess they don't say campus there. They say grounds. Yeah. It's like not Ivy League, but it's like they're like flirting with the idea of wanting to be. I guess so.

Yeah. Thomas Jefferson founded it and it's not freshman sophomore, junior, senior. It's first, second, third, fourth year because Thomas Jefferson says that learning never ends. So you're not a senior at learning at any point. So I was like, okay. So the grounds are beautiful or like Charlottesville. Like the town is cute. I've been to Charlottesville.

It's awesome. Yeah. I had never been to that part of Virginia and it's so adorable and the leaves are changing. So I just feel like this was also like a really good time of year to see all that. Like it's just really pretty. and then the game was so fun. The game was awesome, right? The game was so, yeah.

I mean, they were losing. We thought, I thought, okay, okay, we're going to lose, which sucked because y'all told me, oh, we should easily win, you know, which everybody thought they should beat Washington State. But then they were losing and they were like, well, this tracks. Yeah, we're used to this. Like, this is normally how it happens. That is, but yes, it used to be how Virginia was, but you got spent a ton of money on football this year. So now you're good.

Yeah. Yes. And now I'm saying we. I've been to one game. We've got Tony Elliott. He's making over $4 million a year. So he better be doing good. And we want off a safety.

You know what that is? Oh, boy. I know, but do you know how you get it? Yeah, you stop someone in their own end zone. Yeah. Wow, man, you knew that? I'm familiar with the sport. I know, I know y'all know.

I just was excited that now it's like an additional thing. I never, I did not know that it, I mean, I knew there's safety players, but a safety. Oh, the two point safety. Two-point safety is tackling the offensive team in their end zone. That's one way to get it, yeah. Or whatever. And then you get the two points, which that is literally how they want. And at that moment, there was some Washington,

there was some WSU fans right in front of us. And the minute the ref, because they challenged it, I guess, and then the ref came back and was like, yeah, this is a safety. And they all got up and started walking out. And I was like, the game's not even over yet. And they're like, well, it basically is. It's cool. You get to go to a win.

Yeah. It sucked to go to a lose. Like his, my boyfriend's college friends, I was meeting them for the first time, and we were sitting in some of his friend's seats. It was my first time meeting them, obviously, and I spilled my drink on one of the wives. Oh, I saw that. That was on your Instagram. Yeah, we were taking a picture, and I don't know, my drink just flew out of my hand,

and it flew all over her dress, and I was like, good first impression. I'm so sorry. Yeah. She was so sweet. And luckily, it was a dark denim dress, so it couldn't really tell. but I was mortified, still am. Better to spill it on someone you know or don't know? Don't know.

Don't know. Because I had just met her. She went like the husband and wife. Did you count knowing her or not knowing her? I had just met her. So do you know her? At the tailgate. So at that point, no, I'm just asking for ready's question.

In your mind, do you know her or don't know her? I know her. I know her. Yes. So let's answer this question first. I say if you can move, it's better to spill it on somebody. You don't know if you can leave the situation. Yeah, we were using their tickets.

So they were sitting next to you. Yeah. Kindly. Yeah, that sucks. If you have to be near them and stay near them, it's better to somebody you know. Yeah. No, like they all tailgate before I had met her just hours before that incident at the tailgate. And I had, you know, talked to them on speakerphone before, I guess, a few months ago.

But I, and we were so excited to meet. and that was my first impression. So that was cool. It's also funny you got it on Instagram story. You happen to be recording right when that happened. It wasn't a video. It was a live photo. So when I went back to the,

if I held down the live photo, I was like, oh my gosh, at the very end of the picture, you can see the drink flying. So that's why it stopped. Yes. That's pretty cool. It's not a video.

It's just a looped record. It literally stops with Amy going like, ah! Yeah. Yes. And so, yeah, shout out. about live photos. That's what's great. Live photos. Are we going deep into live photos? Yeah, but they're weird like that. But yeah, his friends were like, Amy, you're welcome to come

back to a game anytime because we won. I was like, yeah, you're welcome. Good, because they would have for sure blamed it on you. You've been the only person that hadn't been and they lost. Oh, for sure. Yeah. That's the kind of crap I do. Yes. Anything off. I blame it on that. That's what I said. Even if it's me that's often. I'm like, this is my fault. Yeah, I blame it on anything like that. We Arkansas lost. We played pretty good against Texas A&M. Close game. Yeah. Yeah. I'm so close. I scoring you.

It's like they were just playing against air. Offense versus air. Close. They covered at the end. It doesn't really count. I didn't win a bunch of money off of it, but I would have rather won the game. But that helps a little bit. Amy nailed another psychic prediction for me. She's hit three now because the two bears, the bears covered. They

won by over four and a half points. Oh, Amy? Beat the Saints big time. So I won like 500 bucks off your psychic prediction. When do I get a cut? Never. That's not how it works. You can bet yourself off your own. Oh.

Yeah. So so far she's had a Kyle. Kyle Tucker home run. Kyle the kayaker. Yep. The buccaneers winning. The boats. Yep.

And then two bears walking in the woods. So I bet on the bears and they whip the saints. So Amy said three. She's wanted me like a thousand bucks. Amy, that's amazing. With just visions. Not even telling me what games to bet. She, this is a team effort.

She visualizes it. I interpret it. We win money. Three and O. The pressure. There's no pressure. There's no pressure. Those visions just came to you.

Yeah, that's nothing you can help. Nothing you can predict. But I probably did another one. I don't know at some point. Cool. Yeah. Yeah. Like for tonight.

Yeah. No, nothing for tonight. I'm texting her. Hey, yeah. What do you see right now? Anything happen? Yeah, well, go bears. Eddie, how was your weekend?

It's good, man. The Cowboys won. Very happy. Gosh, I was so good. Man, I love it when they win by a lot because I can just enjoy the day. Who did they play? They played Washington, which is a divisional team. It's huge.

So it was a big win for us, man. And then, like, you know, my wife went to the store, bought a bunch of snacks, which I don't understand why she does that. I understand, like, that she likes to do that. But we're not going to eat, like, five bags of chips. We're not going to eat 20 cookies. And so at the end of the day, she's always like, oh, nobody ate my snacks. Well, we tried to, but we're not going to eat all the Cheetos and the chips and dips.

It looks cool on the table, but really we're not all. We're not going to eat them also. That's your complaint? Your wife bought too many snacks? I feel like it's a waste. I feel like it's a waste. They don't open all the bags and you can use them next weekend. No, she does it.

Like it's part of... Like my wife does. If I don't use stuff, she dumps them back into a big Ziploc bag. Which we did eventually. But like, you know, you know, the Ziploc bag's in the pantry. Weird complaint. I just feel like it's a waste. I hear you. My Panthers won.

Congratulations. Again. Again. We're pounding, baby. They told us to keep pounding. We're pounding. Amy, you got to understand. They have not been good. They weren't winning games for a long time. It sucked. All of a sudden. Wake in the morning and a step outside. I mean, that's one of the reasons why you went with them as your Forever team, right?

Because you didn't want to pick the obvious. Correct. I didn't pick a team that everyone thought would be good. I mean, you want to pick the total losers, but you don't want to pick the obvious. Well, they've been a total... Worse than the Cowboys? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Maybe the Cowboys aren't that bad.

The Cowboys are just... They're just... In the middle. The Cowboys are perpetually below what the expectation is of them. Correct. So they have made... Which the expectation is we're going to win the Super Bowl every year. By their own fans, which makes everybody irritated as their fans.

It's just a weird cycle. Yeah, so they won. I don't know. The thing about us is we just keep pounding it. you do Arkansas and Auburn Plamego this weekend we thought about going this last week

you're saying this every week no it stormed it storms so bad they were delaying the game in the night before my wife was even like yeah let's go I didn't think she would want to go anyway and so we were going to go

and we talked to DJ Gassow lives in Fayetteville coach on the softball team and he was like if you looked at the weather and I was like no not really and then it was like massive storms so much so they delayed the game before it even started and yeah it was pretty

it was like hailing and crap so we didn't go but yeah I know I did say that but then I said later on in the week which you guys didn't hear probably could just say it in my own head is that weather's bad we ain't fine you did I yeah okay good I think Mike checked the weather great right he said it was good yeah then I got a bad then I got a bad report a bad report from DJ yeah because I thought if it's just raining a little bit before we'll just go but no we didn't go but it's a fine game we didn't win it sucks but we may go to Auburn next week we'll see how it feels I said hey. So you'd go to an away game?

No, it's at Arkansas again. Oh, okay. Against Auburn. So that's what's up. We got a story you want to do. We only got a few minutes. I'm going to get to Amy's interview with Annie Bosco in just a few minutes. But you have a story?

Yeah, so I saw that Prince Andrew gave up his titles because of his ties with Jeffrey Epstein and, you know, the survivor that had accused Prince Andrew of getting with her when she was 17. That's called rape. Yeah, I don't know. how to say it. She's a survivor. And I guess she sadly has passed away death by suicide. Paranthesis, suicide, for the record. Oh, I didn't know that. They're saying suicide. Oh, allegedly. Yeah. Allegedly. No, I think they're saying. I don't think you have to say allegedly, but I'm going to put parentheses around it because I'm going to tell you, I don't think it was suicide. Okay. It's like when someone falls out of a window because they disagree with Russia, oh, they fell out of the window.

Yeah. It's terrible. So anyway, after talking with the king, Charles, he has decided to remove his titles himself, I guess, before they get stripped from him. But he's still Prince. He's just not Duke of York and a couple other things. So it's like, okay. You gotta get rid of Prince. He's the guy in the picture with her. The Gulf Oil is her name.

Yes. His ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, she has, she stripped of her title, Duchess of York, but their daughters get to keep their titles. Yeah, the titles thing who gives the crap. I know. Unless there's money attached to it. The titles, I don't know. I don't know either. That's why I thought I was like, oh, wow, he's not even going to be a prince anymore. But I think he's still a prince, just no Duke of York. And if he had other little titles like that that he's been given.

But he still denies that the allegations, by the way. There's literal pictures of them together. Yeah. The fact that people still want to protect rapists on that list, it blows my mind. It blows my mind. But hey, I've talked about it so much that if you listen to this, you know my thoughts on it. Lunchbox. Half the internet went down.

Amazon can be used. Ring camera. Alexa and banking apps all not working. They think it could be a cyber attack. What? Dramatic. Amazon? Did you see the heist at the Louvre?

Oh, yeah. I saw something, but I didn't realize that like Lube had like stuff like that. I thought it was like a art. It's all. And it's massive. The Louvre is like, you can't walk it in a week, I don't think. And so they basically took a van with the ladder, busted in a window, went in, got these Napoleon jewels,

smashed it. They went in security guard outfits, four minutes in and out. Dang, that's awesome. They dropped a crown on the way out. I think it was like Napoleon's wife's crown. They didn't even get the most expensive thing, but they got a lot of it's priceless. I should read the story, but I watched a whole bunch of it.

on it last night. They get to their garage and they're like, where's the crown? You dropped it. They got a bunch though and they got out. But yeah, they were, I'll just read you this. Thieves broke into the Louvre Museum and Parish yesterday right after the museum opened and stole priceless jewelry in a seven-minute robbery. Three or four people used a furniture elevator on a truck to reach a window. They cut open that with an angle grinder. They stole items from the Apollo room, which holds the French crown jewels. Police found the crown of Empress Eugene jewels near the museum. It was damaged. Yeah, and they dropped it out. Yeah.

The robbers were yellow vest to look like workers, escaped on motorcycles. The museum was evacuated and closed for the day of police are investigating. That's crazy. How do you resell those? All black market, for sure. Yeah, you definitely don't put it up on Facebook marketplace. Does anybody want these jewels? Because they track you down quick on Facebook marketplace. Let's do one more

story. Lunchbox? He already did his. What was yours? About the internet going down about Amazon. Yeah, so what do they think? They said they can't rule out cyber attack. trying to figure out what's going around. Like who cyber attack? Yeah. Snapchat, Fortnite.

Oh, no. All the stuff that I can't live without. Eddie go. Yeah, so for the first time in 100 years, our zippers are changing. So the company, did you know that the company, YKK, like, is the company that makes, it said 80% of the zippers around the world? I did not know that. Which is crazy.

But so apparently for the last 100 years, our zipper has a fabric tape that's underneath the zipper. Well, they have now have new tech. They're going to change it, and we will no longer have that fabric take. But they never mess with this design for 100 years. I don't think there's a story I've cared less about. And all of us doing this, that might be the story I've cared less about. Worst than Craig Robinson? Yeah.

You all don't care about your zippers? The interesting thing that saved Craig Robinson was both of you guys have the same terrible story. Thank you. That one saved that one. I don't know what he's talking about. So do I. I mean, yeah. The fabric tape.

That's no longer going to be there. You're changing that. Yeah, that might be the one. Because they have new technology. Hey, listen, if you're going to be the worst, be the very worst. Well, I guess I succeeded. I got a question. You really read that and thought, oh, I should bring this?

Yeah. Yeah. When something is... He subscribes to a zipper newsletter and it was the top. Like, when have you ever said, oh, man, my zipper tape is weird. TechCrunch.com. Okay. Eddie?

Yeah, so the zipper is changing after 100 years. That's my story. All right. All right, we're going to go over to this Annie Bosco. We're going to go over to this Annie Bosco interview. as Amy did this interview, we only used parts of it for the women of our country, so we wanted to play it all. We like Annie a lot, so here's this. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what you're saying.

On a recent episode of the podcast, Money and Wealth with John Hobriant, I sit down with Tiffany the budgetista Aliche to talk about what it really takes to take control of your money. What would that look like in our families if everyone was able to pass on wealth to the people when they're no longer here? We break down budgeting, financial discipline, and how to build real wealth, starting with the mindset shifts.

Too many of us were never, ever taught. Financial education is not always about, like, I'm going to get rich. That's great.

I mean, honestly, like, I might get in trouble for this answer,

but I think it's, like, definitely happening in the WBA. And yeah, we talk about our mistakes, too. They pulled me to the side and was like, hey, man, we got a call last night, man, you can't be rolling around the city like this tonight before games, no, you know, doing this, doing whatever.

I'm excited to share that I have a new podcast called Mind Over Mountain. In each episode, I interview athletes, adventurers, and adrenaline seekers to discuss the inner landscapes and life experiences that informed and inspired their extraordinary feats. I also bring a bit of advice into the mix so we too can better understand how to face our own seemingly insurmountable challenges.

Do you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to pull out what you already have inside. We're coming into this world, fighting for our lives. All I'm going to do is pull out what you already got inside. We're there to support and celebrate each other. And that's not like your story versus my story. You're going to walk up and over that dang mountain. You're not just going to put your mind over it.

Yep, yep, exactly. And if I can't walk up and over it, I'm going to go through it. Listen to Mind Over Mountain every Thursday on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right. So, Annie, I believe in signs, particularly in birds. I have a thing with Cardinals because my mom, she passed away in 2014, instantly saw a Cardinal. My dad is a Blue Jay. And so I have different messages that come from Cardinals and Blue Jays. It's not every single one I see. Yeah. Like, it's just a feeling that comes over me. Right. So do you have any signs like that with anybody in your life? Yes. My grandmother, my great-grandmother is the humming bird. And I'm, I remember as a kid, my mom would cry when she'd see a hummingbird outside the window. Her biological mother passed away when she was six months old.

So she was kind of raised by her great-grandmother, by her grandmother, my great-grandmother. So I remember my mom would just be crying every time she'd see a hummingbird. And as a kid, like I would start crying too because I didn't really understand the meaning of it yet. But now that I'm older, every time I see one, I think of her. And she was just awesome. She was a single mom. She worked so hard. She was a hairdresser.

And just this, like, amazing, sweet salt of the earth woman. So I always, I think about her. I just got the cutest hummingbird photo off of Amazon. And I know sometimes your fashion, like I've complimented some of your stuff. You're like, I ordered it on Amazon. But I'm going to have to show you this hummingbird photo that I just ordered off Amazon and hung at my laundry room. It's so cute. I love it.

Yeah, I think. And it would fit your vibe. Oh, Amazon. Come on. It's everything now. And the clothing has really gotten so good. What about any times in your life or in your career, let's say, where you felt like, okay, I'm going to give up. Have you gotten a sign?

All the time. All the time. Why did I choose this industry? No. Ultimately, you got to love what you do and you love it. So you put up with the crazy schedule and the grind. And a lot of people don't even realize what a grind it is until they actually see it. You know, and they see you do it.

And my friends, I'm like, I don't even post half the stuff that I really do because I don't want to exhaust you all on social media. I did receive a sign a year before the pandemic. I moved home. I had surgery on my vocal cord. You can't talk for a month. And it really took a year to kind of get my voice back strong all the way, which is so crazy. Because, you know, my whole life I've been identified as my voice. I am my voice.

It's like I sang everywhere, church, football games. I mean, you name it. I sang at it. I was like a music box. So to not have my voice for the first time was shocking. It's something that a lot of singers have had to go through. You'd be surprised if you Googled like half of them. And the pandemic hit.

And I said, okay, I'll go back to Nashville when I get a gig. and when things reopen. So I got a gig. Vince Gill was at the gig. And he said, what are you doing? And I said, I'm making an album,

which was only being made in my head. It wasn't actually in a studio happening. But I was like manifesting it. And so I kind of really was making an album. And he said, well, I want to sing and play on it.

And so that was my Godwink. And I told my mom, I'm like, oh my gosh, you wouldn't believe. Like, Vince Gill was at the gig. I asked for a gig that would pay me to come back. I got it. He was there.

He offered to play on my record. Now I have to make a record. And so from there, I was like, well, if he offered, like, who else would do a song with me? Dwight Yocum said yes. Raul Mallow said yes. All these people that I've really respected as musicians and artists my whole life started to put out songs and that's kind of what led to my manager and a record label.

And, yeah, if it weren't for that Godwink, like, I don't know where I'd, I don't know if I'd be in this chair right now. Yeah. In a couple weeks ago, you released California, California, I'll start up versus scuba. Yeah. And a couple of weeks ago, you released California Cowgirl. Yeah. which is your debut album.

It is. And I love that you said you were making an album even though it was just in your head. I'm a big believer in that stuff too. Just speaking it, believing it, believing in yourself. Like it hasn't happened yet, but you're going to go ahead and act as if it's happening. Yes. That was the perfect answer to Vinskill. Because then he's like, okay, yeah, you're making an album.

I want to be on it. Exactly. Because imagine if you had just said, oh, you know, I don't know. I'm just playing some gigs here and there. Yeah, exactly. see what happens. Yeah, there's, he wouldn't have offered, right? I'm a believer in that too.

How did it feel to put that album out a couple weeks ago? It's scary. I think you never feel like you're doing enough. At least I will never feel like I'm doing enough. I'm a workaholic. I'm an overachiever. I've learned nothing's ever going to be good enough. So just do it anyways, you know, because you could sit.

And I'll never forget I had like a really huge producer tell me. He said, even when it's on the shelf at Target, I'm still thinking like, man, maybe I should have done this with a guitar sound on this. He's like, you'll never stop second guessing or questioning things. That's part of music. Music's never truly finished. But at some point, I think the blessing of being on a label versus an indie artist where I would just put out singles is you do have to put out an album, you know?

And that is a thing that I think is appreciated and people want it right now versus like five, ten years ago. It was like singles. Just put out a single and just an EP. Like albums don't matter. And all of a sudden people want albums again, which is exciting. And so I feel like I've, it's a lot. fun. I feel like I've just worked my whole life kind of for this. And so it was really exciting,

scary. And, you know, I just have to learn with myself. I'm like, it'll never be enough. So just enjoy it, you know. So I'm going to ask you how you listen to albums and then it may impact how you answer how you want people to listen to California, Calgirl. Yeah. So when you get an album, do you like to listen to it, start to finish or do you bounce around? So I bounce around now. but I would say as a kid I mean I studied like I would go front to back I would look at all the liner notes

I knew every musician who played on every record before I moved here like I knew who these guys were I knew who all like the cats were I'm like who is that guy he's amazing on steel and so I'd say now I bounce around I'm not proud of that I should change I should just put it on the kitchen

when I'm like cleaning and listen front to back yeah well someone is listening to California Cabo for the first time Do you want them to go song one to back or do you want them to bounce around? I think in today's world, because we have such short attention spans, if you want to bounce around, go for it. But it is fun, the journey, we were, you know, intentional about wanting to have like fun, shit kicker, serious, methodical, this mood here.

Like, you know, to make it feel like it's a journey because you can't have back to back, you know, you kind of want to feel like you're on that, that ride with the artist. That's what I experienced as a listener. I'm not an artist in any way, shape, or form. But when I think back to when I had actual CDs and I was getting in my car and I was taking a drive. Yeah. Like I was sort of like you.

I would bounce around and maybe that's my ADD, but I just would be like, okay, I'm going to try this song, this song, this song. But then as I got older, I realized like, oh, there's intention. behind the layout at times from artists and they're telling a story. And now it's not every album. But some, I feel like I was missing out on that journey that the artist was trying to take me on. Yeah. Sometimes it's the best just to put it on and then go do something like work or like I said, clean the kitchen or like do laundry or whatever. Like sometimes that's my favorite way of listening to music because something will come on that I wouldn't have left on. I might have jumped to the next track. But then I'll get halfway through and be like, oh my gosh, that's amazing.

Like, you know, it'll grab me. So I think, I don't know, sometimes it's fun to listen in auto. pilot mode. When did you know that this is what you wanted to do with your life full time? I think I always knew. I mean, even when I was a kid, I looked back at videos and I was always singing. I was always entertaining, you know, from the time I was five years old. I think I grew up, you know, in a family that they didn't really know much about entertainment. Even though I'm from California, my dad was a third generation farmer. And my mom was a stay-at-home mom of five kids. And so there was no momager, you know, that was like spearheading my career and I didn't have any avenues to get in. I did get a fluke job.

Literally it was a fluke with Disney when I was 13. And that was the moment when I realized like, oh, like maybe I could really do this as a career. You know, and that was my first time like in a recording studio. And so I really am grateful for that. That was another godwink that sort of led me to believe that I could pursue it as a profession. So like, what was your thing on Disney? It was with Little Burmere Me too. Oh, okay. Yeah. And so you got invited to be on and like you were singing as part of the...

Yeah, singing on the movie. Shelly Wright did a version of part of your world and they wanted a younger voice to be Ariel's daughter. And so they used it like in some countries. But it was just, you know, growing up, I'm a 90s kid, so a baby. So it's like Disney was everything and the soundtracks were everything and the princesses were everything. And so that was so huge to get to do that. And that was my Godwink moment of feeling like, oh, maybe this could really be my career. Yeah. And I mean, but being, you know, the daughter of a farmer and say, oh, mom, did you ever feel like, oh, I don't, I don't know that that's what I'm going to go chase it. Were your parents like, yes, go chase it will support you, whatever, even though your mom wasn't like mom a major role. She had other responsibilities. She had five kids. She's trying to take care of. And I'm sure, I mean, being a farmer is no easy job either. So my dad worked so hard. Yeah. Did you think you were going to go back and have that life? Are you going to go to college? or like what how did you even end up where you are music was all i ever wanted my parents really wanted me to go to college it was a big deal my dad was the first person in his family to ever go to college so that was really important for him to have me at least tries so i went and it didn't last long yeah i kept getting jobs and music and um that involved travel and what i knew i ultimately really wanted to do so yeah i kind of moved to Nashville pretty shortly after that i took a trip here with a friend. I saw girls playing guitar and writing songs and that was important. I knew I wanted

to be a musician and I knew writing songs was really important to me. So yeah, I came here and it felt like this was the right place to be. And I never saw like a plan B or I never saw myself doing anything else. I mean, I worked all kinds of odd jobs while pursuing the dream from like cleaning houses to nanny and kids to like, you name it, working at restaurants, which never really lasted long because I always had a gig. And I'm like, sorry, guys, I have a gig. this weekend. They're like, yeah, you can't keep leaving for gigs. And so eventually music became my full-time thing. Yeah. What about like hobbies that you have for yourself now? I mean, because you're on the road a lot, but like what do you get to do for yourself? Because thinking

about how your dad's a farmer, it makes me think of, you know, gardening is something I would love to take up. I don't know if you have a green thumb at all. But I guess it's hard to take care of a garden if you're traveling a lot. But like, what do you do for yourself? Because like playing an instrument, it can't be a hobby because that's your job. No. Yeah. Eventually it starts, it's not a hobby. Yeah. But I guess too, I was curious about what you were even going to major in in college, which could kind of lean towards hobbies or interests as well. Well, yeah, to your point, I can't even keep a cactus alive at the moment.

So we're just going to put the green thumb on pause, but I would love to have a garden. I actually tried it a couple years ago and I was on the road too much. So it died, of course, because you have to like be really careful about watering it, especially in the beginning. I love the outdoors. I'm like an athletic person. I grew up doing sports. So recently I've taken up golf.

That's a new one that I used to make fun of golfers because I was like, you don't need to be athletic to golf, which is somewhat true. It's a forum is a big thing. But what's great about golf is your outside, love being outside, and you have to completely focus.

So it kind of takes the stress of the world away because you have to totally focus on hitting the ball, I'm making ball contact and where you're going, so I love it for that reason. When I'm near an ocean, I love to surf, I love to hike, I love being outside, and I think that's like my zen place. I also love to cook.

Like, I love food. I'm so passionate about food. My mom cooked every night. So I feel like I kind of got it from her, just watching her as a kid. So I love, I grill now. I have a grill, so like I can grill. I'm a girl who grills.

What's your favorite thing to grill? Is it like chicken or chicken? Okay. But I made chicken a couple weeks ago and it was like, this is really good too. But I have a pit boss girl because they've sponsored me with a grill. And so finally I'm like, okay, you're pulling out the grill. You're going to do it while we still have nice weather. And I've had so much fun because I'll do like steak, but then I'll put like kale in a cast iron skillet and like French bread.

I'll do potatoes and asparagus. So I'll do like everything in the grill. And that's been really fun. You're like a legit. We have everything we need for a full meal. Yes. In the grill. Who knew you could do all.

about it. I know, but you're going to have to take advantage of it when you can't because I can't imagine, like, you're eating out on the road so much that I do imagine when you are home, you just want a good home-cooked meal. There's nothing like it. People are like, do you want to come out? And I'm like, no. I'm so excited to stay home. I've been out 300 days. Yeah. And just to know where your food's coming from. Like, that's so fun to get to know local farmers that I've become friends with who raise cattle or who like, I have some farmer friends where I go sometimes and I pick the kale, which is so fun because my dad always says, like, grew kale before kale was cool when it was like a garnish on the side of, you know, like a buffet

spread, but no one actually ate it as food. So that's really fun to get to know local farmers. And I feel like people are passionate now about food. You know, people are talking about it. And people want to support like the local farmers and stuff. So yeah. Yeah. Well, circling back to that that college stint you had. Did you have a major in mind? So I was a music industry. Oh, okay. Major. So you're at least in that vein. I was a It's not like you were like accounting and then we're like, I'm going to go do music and your parents are like, wait, what? I always marvel because there's big artists that are like I wasn't even going to do music and I was going to do this I'm like wow like you know for me I just it's all I ever really wanted to do yeah so that didn't last long I got called to for a job and I think they like flunked me in the midterm but I was like wait a second I'm studying this and I'm getting a job in this you know it just wasn't for me yeah I already knew what I wanted to do and and I think schools for music you know you don't have to get a college degree it's not like that's going to first your success in music industry.

So I think it's a unique field in that sense because most careers, you know, a degree would help, right? But in my case, it just wasn't for me, you know, and I knew that. What rituals or activities, different from a hobby, but like things, what are some things you do to help you stay grounded or, you know, that fill your cup up? I mean, hobbies are one thing, but I don't know. Are you into yoga or? you know, painting or breathwork or journaling.

I guess as a writer, you probably, do you write everything down? I go through phases where I'm so good about it and I'll have like my morning routine, which I'm a big believer in. And when I do it, I definitely feel a difference. This past week I haven't just because I'm, you know, it depends on how crazy life is and if you're traveling and stuff. But I try to start my day away from my phone and I'll try to start with a devotional. So I'll start with that.

and I have like a little gratitude journal. And I'll just try to have that quiet time. I'll usually go outside in my backyard and, you know, connect with nature and just have that time to to breathe and get ready for the day. And then I try to work out if I can before the day starts. Not every day works that way, but I'm an early riser. So if I don't have a late show, I'll wake up early and I work out before everything else. Yeah, some artists, they're like, oh, no, I'm not waking up before one o'clock.

But even if you do have a late show, do you, are you able to sleep in or do you still just kind of? I can't sleep in past 8 a.m. I picture you as like a just a go, go, go, girl, but not to a point of you're trying to be toxic about it. It's just that like you got to get up and seize the day. So beautiful outside. Even if I'm tired, there's nothing a cold brew can't fix. You know what I mean?

I will find the cold brew wherever I am. Yeah, speaking of what is your go-to coffee drink? It varies, but right now I'm really into the cold brews with the foams. And now they have a protein foam. It's just they keep coming out with new foams. When I'm on the road, it's a cold brew, just because I feel like it gives you more caffeine and it's less acidity.

When I'm at home, I do like just espresso. I'm into espresso shots lately. Oh, just like straight shot. Yeah, but I'll like whip in my little collagen thing with it. So, yeah, that's my current phase. Yeah, you do the collagen peptides. Yeah, and the colostrum, whatever that is. I don't even know what it is, but I do it.

Well, it's what's produced in the cow's milk when they're feeding their babies. Humans produce it too. Okay. So it's like from the breast milk. but it's from cows. I don't know. I started taking it as well. I feel like it helps my allergies.

A lot of people have made several different claims. Even some, like my friend was saying the other day, and she was even doing endorsements for a particular company, and they're like, well, you can't make that claim. She's like, but this was my experience. It's true. And they're like, yeah, I know, but we just can't publicly make that claim. But for her, she said it completely helped her immune system.

Wow. So many people in her family are getting sick, and she was so regimented with her colostrum. She's the only one that didn't get sick. So I think it can help with all kinds of things from skin and hair and nails to immunity. I know. She was like, this would be such good marketing for you.

They're like, yes, but we don't want to make that crazy of a claim. Right. And she's like, well, this was my experience. She's like, your loss. Yeah. Your loss. Yeah. Okay, so back to California Cowgirl.

Let's say now that there's just one song, people get to hear if there was a, one you wanted them to listen to, which one would you pick? I know it's so hard because they're all like your baby, but then it wouldn't be a fun game. Can't pick them all. I'd say probably fighter just because it evokes an emotion in people that I can't really figure out. You know, like without a doubt after every show, someone will come up to me and tell me like, thank you for that song. I needed it. And they'll share a story with me that'll like break me, you know, where I'm like, oh my gosh, I think I have problems, right?

And I love like doing meet and greets after shows and getting to know fans. It's just such an important thing that as long as I can do it, I'll do it. And I try to meet everyone after a show because you get that one-on-one time with them after they get to experience you and your music and getting to connect with them and hear how it's impacted them. And that's one that just without, without doubt, always impacts people. And I think the greatest gift of music is probably helping people. and life is hard and tricky and challenging and really difficult to navigate and everybody's fighting some kind of battle even if they look like they're on top of the world there's something going on that almost everyone is facing on a daily basis so you realize that that message really never gets old

of like hey you know like bring it on because like I'm just going through a hard dark season right now which is inevitable like everybody goes through it but it's not you know it's not how hard you get hit It's if you get hit and you keep going and you get back up. So, yeah. That's Rocky. That's a quote from Rocky. I can't take credit for that one. It ain't how hard you get hit.

It's about getting hit and getting back up. That was Rocky Balboa. Yeah, well, that's good to know because some people might be going somewhere right now. And they're like, oh, I need to go check out Fighter because maybe it'll help them through this season. And, you know, you were talking about one of your favorite things is the fans and interacting with them. And it reminded me of a video I saw Lainie Wilson post. the other day where she was playing to a huge crowd. Yeah.

And she looked over and saw like a day one fan at front row. And she was like, oh my gosh. And that fan has obviously been at lots of different shows. But she was like, wait a second. Y'all, we just have to pause what we're doing. Because I need to tell y'all that this girl right here, she has been at my show since day one when nobody was there. And then she started to kind of get into the songs.

She was like, wait a second. I have to get up and go give you a hug. Because I think she had this moment of gratitude. of like, I remember what is like playing for nobody. And then she goes over and hugs the girl. And she's like, do you remember that very first show that I met you? And she goes, yeah, it was at a casino. And literally nobody was there except for like her.

Wow. And so it just, the fans are so important. Like even if it's like one to 100,000 like that you're playing for, it doesn't matter. And to go back to what you were saying, I think the thing, when I want to quit, I'll go play a show and then I'll have a meet. and greet of like 300 people that you're talking to that are moved by what you do, little girls that are inspired by watching you on stage or guys that are like, man, you rock, you know, or someone that shares a story about what they're going through. And it's like, that's it.

If you really as an artist, like, if I only focused on that, which maybe that should be my new thing, honestly, and I just had that revelation. Because you get bogged down by all the other things that really at the end of the day don't even matter. They really don't. It's like it really comes down to you as an artist, your music, and the fans and the people that are supporters, because you'll always have the naysayers. I mean, I've seen it, even when Taylor Swift, you know, was in town. I was, I'll never forget. I overheard someone say, oh, an artist who we are not going to name what said, oh, she thinks she's going to go headline. Good luck. Okay, look at her now. Yeah. And so I feel like, especially as a female, you just have to know that you are always going to have

the naysairs and the doubters that don't think you can do something, which kind of inspired title track, you know, number one on my record called Watch Me because it's sort of like, I think some of the most fun thing is I love when someone tells me I can't do something, but it makes me it makes me just want to do it even more. And then when I do do it, it's so fun to see the reaction, you know, and I feel like you have to let those, those feel you. But yeah, to your point, it really, everything that you do comes down to the fans. And those are the people that they keep you going because that's really what it's all about. Let's talk about another track, old friends. Yeah. What was that like with Darius Rucker? That was so fun. I mean, he's Darius. You know,

he's like, look at how many seasons. Like, he's been through as an artist. It's amazing how he's evolved. And he's just that that person that feels like everybody's friend, which is why it felt appropriate to have him on the track. He is that guy that feels like he's everyone's friend. and he has that voice that's like lived you know he's been through it and it's so distinctive like as soon as you hear it you just know that it's him oh especially i mean yes his voice in this song i'm sure but his laugh which i'm sure isn't on the song but he has the most distinct laugh of any you know it's him artist i think ever i know i so know what you're talking and it's such a great laugh because it makes you laugh too and like you feel that joy from him yeah yeah he's just an amazing human and like

so sweet and so much joy in him that he brings to everybody and he's just a great and him that he brings to everybody It's a contagious. It is. Yes. Yeah. Well, speaking of being contagious, we hope that that's what your album is. Thank you. Everybody in this.

I just said Twitter because I just joined that. I was like, you know, we got to post on Twitter. I've been X. I've been neglecting X for a while. So I was like, we're going to just go on X, you know, and post something. Yeah. It's kind of scary over there, though. Yeah.

Like you can never know. Speaking of like feedback you might get from people, you just have to be careful. Yeah. It was really interesting. I played Jimmy Kimmel like two years ago. And a week ago it was like all these Jimmy Kim Lanny Bosco things. And I'm like, what is this? I'm like, oh my gosh, they saw me post about it

like literally two years ago. Because of everything, you know, recently in the news and stuff. I'm like, it's funny. Wow. People are really they really went and did the deep dive. They do. They do over there. I'm just saying, you know. Yeah. Post and go walk away. Right. Right. All right. Well, thank you, Annie.
