This is Amy Roboc alongside T.J. Holmes from the Amy and T.J. podcast. And there is so much news, information, commentary coming at you all day and from all over the place. What's fact? What's fake?

And listen to Amy and T.J. on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. All right, let's roll some voicemails here. This is Shane and his reaction to Tuesday's show. Go ahead. Funny story about a kid.
Starting point is 00:02:45 $1,000. I think I recovered. What? Like the kid was doing that to be funny? Well, this is probably his kid. It was probably a young kid didn't realize what it was, you know, and just goes out in the driveway. It's playing with it. throws it all in the ground. $500 blows away.
Starting point is 00:03:09 That's crazy. Oh. You don't realize that's money? And you get to go play by yourself. I don't know if this is computing for me because you have to be old enough to go play by yourself in the driveway. And if you're old enough to do that, you probably at least know what money is. But you could think it's play money. I mean, my kids have play money that they play cashier with.
Starting point is 00:03:31 My kids know money. I mean, a three-year-old doesn't know what dollar. bills are. They see it and they're like, oh, that's fun, okay, and they don't realize the value of it. And they go out and they play with it. So how old to play in the driveway by yourself, Eddie? I'd say three, four. I'd say three, four. Only by yourself? Yeah, 100%. Okay, so a four-year-old, shouldn't they know not to even scatter paper in the driveway? Much less kind of what money is. I don't know if I believe this story. I don't know if I believe the story. And I also don't know if he's messing with us.
Starting point is 00:04:06 But if it's true, that sucks. Sorry about that, Shane. Next one up. One pet peeves starting to tell a story and it sounds like a really good, juicy story. And then, oh, I can't tell you. I'll tell you after the show, though. That, as a listener, is infuriating.
Starting point is 00:04:30 Love everything else about the show. I agree. I hate that. Here's what happened. Here's what happened. What? You forgot to tell me even when we went off at. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:39 You do that all the time. So then, like, I'm annoyed too. everybody didn't know this. There are times, because we talk the same way off the air as we do on, that we're just in the middle of talking about something, and something just comes up, I just start talking about it. I'm like, oh, I can't say that because there's a microphone in front of me. It's almost never, why don't I lure this, use this as a bait, lure, and then go, nah, we won't talk about it. Like, it's never done with intention. So when that happened, especially when it was the drama or the I can't believe it happened thing, it was mostly stream
Starting point is 00:05:12 of consciousness and then me going, oh, oh, I can't. Ami you know about that? No. Okay. Morgan, you know? Yeah. Okay. I can't say that anyway. It wasn't with intention. So we got two ways to do this. We can do the show much more intentional and everything be planned out ahead of time or we can do it as we do it. And sometimes it sounds like slob kebab for sure, but it's a little more free and funnier things happen. It annoys me too. Trust me. I'd feel the same way. But that happens just naturally, I think, at how we do this part of the show. Does that make sense as how I explained it?
Starting point is 00:05:49 Yes. Yeah. Oh, Amy, you're going to flip your crap, though. Well, you still don't know, Amy? You can't do it again. You can do it again right now. You're doing it again to the listener. Well, now I'm doing it to be funny.
Starting point is 00:05:59 Oh. Yeah, that's the joke, Amy. Now the joke is I'm doing it again, and I know I'm doing it again. And I'm just doing it to be funny at this point. Yeah. I'll try to remember to tell you today. Okay. Give me the number three, Ray.
Starting point is 00:06:10 morning Bobby I just want to say Dick Van Dyke 10 years old Got him Ray is Dick Van Dyke 100? Yes so he's completed 100 years No he hasn't he's completed 99 Because we always celebrate the beginning But it's actually the ending of that That's the only way to remember it
Starting point is 00:06:36 So yes It's not like oh my gosh your business has been around one year Yes that's celebrating that's been around one year It's actually starting its second year. But we say, oh, it's just a year. No, no, but because it's starting a second year doesn't mean it's two years old. No, no, no, but it's starting that trip around the sun. But what I'm saying is we somewhere in our culture, once a person becomes 30, 40,
Starting point is 00:06:59 we start saying, oh, you're 40. You've actually completed 40 years and you're starting on 41. No, you haven't completed 40 years. Yes, you have. And so we celebrate it like Amy did. Oh, my gosh, this year is 18. No, this year has been on this earth, 18 years. she's actually now a day into starting her 19th year on this planet.
Starting point is 00:07:17 Starting it, but she's not it. But Amy celebrated it like, holy crap, she's 18. Well, she's been 18 for a whole year, Amy. No, no, no. She's been 17 for a whole year and she didn't turn 18. No, no, no. She's been 18 for a whole year and she's now starting her 19th year. And Amy acted like she was surprised.
Starting point is 00:07:32 Why are you surprised when she's been 18 for 365 days? I'm not, guys, I'm not. I can't. This segment is becoming my puppy. I know. I'm not doing it. I'm not. in that caller, Corey from Nashville
Starting point is 00:07:43 screw you, buddy, you know what you were doing and you got it, you won, Corey, you won. All right, give me number four. Hey, studios, I'm on my way to take my firstborn daughter. She's struggling to find balance and I don't know why I'm calling you guys. These are a genuinely friends that I have right now.
Starting point is 00:08:07 So, thank you for giving me the only reason to last few days. Thank you. I feel you. We all kind of go, yeah, I felt that. felt that sister. I was very confused. But in all seriousness, I will say that I would encourage you to understand that this is just a season.
Starting point is 00:08:25 This is just a season. Sometimes I have to say that to myself for whatever reason. This is just a season. And you'll be in a different season and you'll look back and go, oh, man. And you'll be better prepared for when it happens to you again because it always does happen again. Right. We often repeat things over and over and over again. And if you've gotten through them, they're easier to do once repeated.
Starting point is 00:08:46 and you also understand it's not the end of the world if you've gotten through it a couple of times before already. So what I would encourage you to do, first of all, there is no balance. There's no such thing as balance. So as you struggle to find balance, understand there is no such thing ever. And if you're trying to achieve something that is unachievable,
Starting point is 00:09:01 it will always feel like you are off or that you are incomplete. There is not balance. You are also in the middle of a season. This season will change. And I appreciate you saying that about us. That's kind of our goal. We like to come on here and teach you about stories
Starting point is 00:09:15 that we never tell the endings to. It's kind of a thing. And, you know, but I'm glad at least you have us. And we feel like hopefully there's a lot of people that feel like we're their friends. I feel like I have friends that I listen to all the time that don't know I exist because I spend a lot of time listening to them talk through podcasts, do radio shows. So that we can be that for you. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:09:36 And too, I would just encourage you to know that this is just a season. Seasons do change. And it's going to make you so much stronger for the next time this comes around. because inevitably it will, and that's okay, and there is no such thing as balance. There's parts of your life being incomplete that you, or being, we'll say, you're less fulfilled in because you're maybe not investing as much into that part of your life, and all of a sudden it manifests into, oh, man, I spent the last six months not caring about this, and now it's actually coming to fruition that it's not good for me.
Starting point is 00:10:11 But there's no balance. So should we never work towards balance? I know. Yes, you should. Okay. It's like working towards anything else. It's like reading books to get smarter. You never know everything.
Starting point is 00:10:22 Like you can study all day long. You don't study to know everything. You study to get smarter. Just like you, if you're trying to achieve balance, you're trying to be more balanced. But there is no completion with these things. There's always a line and you never walk it correctly. And that's okay. You're not supposed to because there is no way to walk it correctly.
Starting point is 00:10:41 I think sometimes we see through. social media on television, listen to the podcast, people that have it all figured out, when the people that have it all figured out are the ones that actually understand there is no figuring it out. It's that you're constantly in a state of trying to figure it out and acknowledging and understanding that nobody has it figured out is the most powerful weapon you could possibly own. So hang in there. That's such a cliche thing, but it's a cliche for a reason because if you hang in there long enough, it'll change. Especially if you like care and you invest back into where you think whatever's missing from your life is. But thanks for listening to us.
Starting point is 00:11:22 Yeah. So yeah, you can never know everything. You can ever be balanced. And balance is actually really hard. Balance is as hard as being really successful in your career or being a really great parent and putting your career to the side. Because all three of those things take a lot of work. It's commitment. So I spent a lot of my life, absolutely no balance because I was, and fear-based, trauma-based, all my success is fear-based and trauma-based. And because I was like, I'm not going to go back to being on food stamps, I'm not going to be poor again, have to rely on others. And so complete imbalance, 100% imbalance.
Starting point is 00:11:59 But I worked very hard to do that. That's sacrifice. But you have to sacrifice to be a great, great, great parent, too, because you're going to say, I'm going to put a lot of these career things on hold to be a really wonderful parent to these kids because that's a priority to me. And there's a complete sacrifice in trying to achieve balance
Starting point is 00:12:16 because you are doing a bit of both and you only have so much capacity. So you get out of what you put sacrifice into and you can never have balance, pure balance. So hang in there. That's what I would say there. That sucks. I felt like she was sad when she called.
Starting point is 00:12:36 Yeah, sound like it. I'm glad you called, though, because we got to talk about it here. And I think there are probably a lot of other people that are experiencing the same thing. And maybe you don't have someone to talk to about it. And someone to say, there is no end to this. And you will eventually come out of this. So, yeah, hang in there. Okay, those are voicemails.
Starting point is 00:12:56 Boom. Eddie, you went to Pearl Jam last night. Oh, I did, dude. And it was awesome. Yeah, I look fun. I'm in Dallas, by the way. I did my part of the show from Dallas. I have ACMs tomorrow night.
Starting point is 00:13:09 I don't know that I would have went to Pearl Jam on a Tuesday night because I don't do anything on Tuesday nights. And it didn't end until like 1130. So, yeah. Oh, that's tough. Yeah, they never stopped playing. Like, a couple of things I realized. Like, one, everyone, I mean, we're all so much older. Like, I remember going to Pearl Jam and us being young and jumping and screaming.
Starting point is 00:13:28 And now everyone had white hair, dude. It was crazy. I told you the video I saw of him playing it. They went back to the crowd and it was all great. Yes. It's nuts. And one thing too I learned because I took my 11 year old son is that he's going to be a great concert goer. Because our seats that we got, they were nosebleeds.
Starting point is 00:13:46 They were like, I'm telling you two rows to the back of the very top of the arena. And we kept looking down. He goes, Dad, no one has sat in those seats down there. You want to sneak down there? I said, yes. It's exactly what you do at a concert. So we snuck down there and we watched the rest of the show like with great, great seats. Were you worried the whole time?
Starting point is 00:14:06 because anytime that I have either done that with a friend very, very few times when I was younger, or any time I've thought about it, I'm like, I won't enjoy the show because I'll be worried the whole time that someone's going to come up and go, you're in our seats. Did you guys factor that in at all? Oh, my son didn't care, but every two minutes I look back. And then there was a time, you know, where people get their flashlights out. And then I saw a lot. I'm like, oh, that's security pointing at me. I know it.
Starting point is 00:14:30 Oh, no. Every time. But no, man, they never kicked us out. I think whoever was sitting there maybe showed up for a little bit and then left. But shout out to my son for like spotting those seats and we, it was awesome. It was so good. And he loved it. First thing he said was like, I didn't realize Pearl Jam was this big dad.
Starting point is 00:14:47 I thought we were going to like a little like a little bar. Is it because it was dad's music and he didn't think dad's music could still draw that kind of crowd? Yeah. He thought it was just like this little band that I like. Did they do all the songs you wanted? They didn't do better, man. No way. That's the one song.
Starting point is 00:15:04 That's it. That's the song I wanted to hear. What is my favorite Pearl Jam song and they didn't play? I'm shocked me too. She dreams in color, she dreams and red. I can't find a better man. I was playing last night because we flew to Dallas last night. And I saw Eddie's picture and I was listening to Pearl Jam in the hotel room a little bit. She saw my phone through the speaker.
Starting point is 00:15:27 And that song's playing and my wife goes, I felt that. So what? She dreams in color. She dreams in red? She can't find a better man. I was like, what? She goes, now, sometimes you just hear a song.
Starting point is 00:15:39 Dang. That's funny. And I was like, I kept that, what? She goes, yeah, you know, sometimes music just hit you in a way. It was funny and I heard at the same time. I can't believe they didn't play Better Man. They didn't play Better Man. They didn't play a Betterman.
Starting point is 00:15:52 They didn't play a yellow lead better, which is another one of my favorites. Didn't play that one. But, I mean, dude, it was great. And, you know, they have a new album. So I was like, oh, please don't play a lot of those. They probably played about three or four songs out of the new album. That's okay. So I was cool with it.
Starting point is 00:16:05 Did they play, Oh, Where, O'Wick, my baby B. Nope, Still didn't play it. Wow. No, I mean, they played Jeremy and they played Daughter
Starting point is 00:16:14 and all those Even Flo. But no, man. Even flow. Yeah, how'd he sound? He sound good? He sounds great. I mean, there were some parts
Starting point is 00:16:26 where he'd get a little high. You take it, you know, and then the whole crowd would sing. I think he does that on purpose. But he still sounds really good and they still jump and move around and he broke a mic stand. I'm like, yes.
Starting point is 00:16:38 He's still doing it. Did lunchbox give you crap for wearing your shirt? Yes, and I knew he would. You look like a tool, do you? No, I don't. No, you look like an absolute fool. Like, first of all, you were parading around in your stupid shirt, and then I was like, oh, I must be going to the concert night,
Starting point is 00:16:54 and then I look online. And there's Eddie in the same shirt. So he was flaunting it all day. Well, you were to work, and then you wore it to the show? With two different shirts. Oh, okay. Yeah, I don't mind you. I would wear a band t-shirt to the show.
Starting point is 00:17:06 I think that's fine. No, you look like a tool. You look like a loser. Like, if you want to buy a shirt there, fine. Put it in your bag. Wear it the next day so people know you went. But to wear the shirt of the band you're watching, scream's loser.
Starting point is 00:17:20 To be fair. I bought him that shirt for his birthday because it was from like their first ever European tour on like the like 91 or something, right? Correct. You probably got some credit from people there. Oh, people are this. Dude, shirt's awesome. Thanks, man.
Starting point is 00:17:32 Thank you. Thank you. But what's funny is my son too, like I gave him a shirt. Like, hey, you got to put this on. He's like, no, I don't want to wear that. And I was like, he's 11. I'm like, you're already like too cool for school. And then finally he got there and realized everyone was wearing band shirts,
Starting point is 00:17:46 Pearl Jam shirts. So he put it on. But like everyone there was wearing band shirts. Yeah, because most people are just like, I want to wear the shirt. This is cool. I'm included in something right now. Yeah. And what's the difference to go on to see like the Dallas Cowboys
Starting point is 00:17:59 and wearing a Dallas Cowboys shirt? Nothing. Same thing. One spot? Literally nothing. A sports team is 100% different than going to a band and wearing a shirt. It looks absolutely toolish at a concert. Sporting events are totally a different ballgame.
Starting point is 00:18:16 But why? You've said nothing. Why? Why? Because a sporting event is the team. Like you're cheering on that team. Like a band shirt is you're just like, look, man, I've been to see you before. I've got my shirt on.
Starting point is 00:18:29 So because you do an impression of somebody, that means. it's less cool. Yeah. Hey man, look at me. I'm just going to brag that I've been to one of your concerts before. I don't think it's bragging. I think it's like, this is my group.
Starting point is 00:18:43 And we're supporting you. Like, we're supporting the band. I have no problem with it. I liked it. All right. Be a tool, man. It was fun.
Starting point is 00:18:49 It was awesome, man. And they're planning again Thursday and I kind of want to go, but it's my wife's birthday. I can't do that. She doesn't want to go? No. It's not her favorite band. It's my favorite band. Didn't you guys do that on one of your first dates, though?
Starting point is 00:18:59 Well, no, what happened was it was going to be, kind of our first date and then my best friend told me that he had front row tickets so I went with him front row and she had to sit in the very very back she still brings that up well yeah I would too front row tickets
Starting point is 00:19:18 my buddy Mike was like dude I got one and you left her phones front row tickets got to do what you got to do man how new was the relationship about a year maybe under a year I'm getting a little more okay with it then if it were in the first three months, I'd be like, there's no chance because I think she wouldn't want to be with me anymore.
Starting point is 00:19:41 At a year, she probably had an understanding. And it's not like she was alone. I think we had some friends that were back there. There were nine other thousand people there. Yeah, she could have made friends with someone else. I'm okay with it if it's a year because I think my wife would have said, just go do it. Front road. She would have held it against me, though.
Starting point is 00:19:57 But she would have said go do it. My wife still does. She brings it up all the time. I have the richest celebrities and how they made their money. So these are, this is not like Elon Musk. This is not the people that got famous for creating companies that then became a celebrity. So these are celebrity, celebrities. Richest celebrities.
Starting point is 00:20:14 Amy, name. Hmm. The richest, the rock. Good guess. Let's see. Very rich. He's not in the top 15. No, he didn't make top 17.
Starting point is 00:20:27 These are all billionaires. What about like Kim? Oh, yeah. Kim Kardashian came in at number 7. Eddie, one point for you, $1.7 billion. age 44 years old. Kylie Jenner. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:20:38 I'm in the middle here. Made her money through skims and television shows. But Eddie, you got it right, so you get to go again. I feel like, yeah, Kylie. Kylie Jenner. No, that's such bull crap. You rang in when it was Amy's turn. It wasn't your turn.
Starting point is 00:20:58 He didn't call on you. I was telling Amy. I was like, hey, how about Kim? Hey, Eddie, you're wrong. No, thank you. You're wrong. There you go. Lunchmarks?
Starting point is 00:21:04 Billionaires. Kim K and Jenner didn't make it? No, Kim K made it. No, I'm saying Jenner didn't make it. I thought she had more than her sister. Give me Rihanna. She's a billionaire. It's flipping papers.
Starting point is 00:21:24 I am flipping papers because there's three pages of this. I'm in a studio in Dallas, so I don't have my normal, you know, set up. And again, this is not every billionaire, but these are the top, I guess 17. but no, Rihanda's not on the list. No, Rie Re. Amy, back over to you. We'll do three rounds. Eddie's the only one with a point so far. Taylor Swift?
Starting point is 00:21:50 Yes, at number eight, $1.6 billion, age 35 years old. She became a billionaire in 2023 after taking home and estimated $190 million after taxes for the first leg of her famous Erez tour. Amazing. Comes at number eight. Go ahead. Oprah? Oh, Rihanna did make it. I see her lunchbox.
Starting point is 00:22:11 You got a point. But sorry, dude. We moved on to eight. Amy. Yeah, I know. I didn't see it. I just saw it. Sorry, sorry. I'm an almost setup. Everybody screw off. Hold on. Oprah number four, $3 billion, age 71. We know why. Go ahead. Okay. Let me see. I'll go with, who else could be on there. I don't know if he's considered a celebrity, but Jeff Bezos. He's in the news everywhere. No, not on the list. One of the most richest people, but became a celebrity because he was so rich.
Starting point is 00:22:50 Right. So, no. Amy, back to you? Amy, back to you. Selina Gomez. Why did you say, Amy, back to you? I don't know. That was weird.
Starting point is 00:23:00 Like local news. That's what I felt like, so I just I said it in my head and said it out loud. Eddie? I'm going to go Beyonce. Nice. She's a billionaire. Beyonce?
Starting point is 00:23:15 I don't know. Nope. Dang, she's not a billionaire? Lunchbox? This is round two and to round two because lunchbox got screwed round one so go ahead.
Starting point is 00:23:25 Yeah, this is easy. It is Kylie Jenner. She's the one that admitted the stuff. She's the rich one. Not Kennell. Kylie Jenner not on the list. What? I said Kendall?
Starting point is 00:23:35 Yeah. I don't know. No Jenner's. Amy, this is round number three. I don't know who has any points at all. There is no prize, but Amy, you're up. Oh. Oh, Dr. Dre.
Starting point is 00:23:51 Mm-mm. You went with the, oh, I for sure have it voice? Like, how did I not think of this? No, because I thought of him because, you know, his Dre beats. But then I was like, this probably isn't it. So I paused and then couldn't think of anybody else talking about it. That's funny. That's a good word.
Starting point is 00:24:09 How made it Amy get right so far? Do we know? Two, three. Taylor. Taylor and Oprah. Eddie? You know, two. This is for the home run.
Starting point is 00:24:18 Jay-Z. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. $2.5 billion. Wow. His portfolio encompasses assets like a champagne brand. His stake in Uber, he bought in the app's early days, an art collection, and of course, music.

Starting point is 00:31:24 that our resilience rests on our relationships. I wish that I hadn't resisted for so long the need to change. We have to be willing to live with a kind of uncertainty that none of us likes. Listen to a slight change of plans on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I feel like it was a little bit unbelievable until I really start making money. It's Financial Literacy Month and the podcast Eating While Brombron. is bringing real conversations about money, growth, and building your future. This month, hear from top streamer Zoe Spencer and venture capitalist Lakeisha Landrum-Pierre,
Starting point is 00:32:09 as they share their journeys from starting out to leveling up. If I'm outside with my parents and they're seeing all these people come up to me for pictures, it's like, what? Today now, obviously, it's like 100%. They believe everything. But at first, it was just like, you got to go get a real job. There's an economic component to community striving. If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they fail.
Starting point is 00:32:32 And what I mean by fail is they don't have money to pay for food. They cannot feed their kids. They do not have homes. Communities don't work unless there's money flowing through them. Listen to Eating While Broke from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. This is Amy Roboc alongside T.J. Holmes from the Amy and T.J. podcast. And there is so much news, information, commentary coming at you all day. and from all over the place.

Follow the Amy and T.J. podcast, a one-stop news and pop culture shop to get you caught up and on with your day. And listen to Amy and T.J. on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.
Starting point is 00:33:19 When you listen to podcasts about AI and tech and the future of humanity, the hosts always act like they know what they're talking about and they are experts at everything. the Nick Dick and Poll show, we're not afraid to make mistakes. What Coogler did that I think was so unique. He's the writer-director.
Starting point is 00:33:37 Who do you think he is? I don't know. You mean, like, the president? You think Canada has a president? You think China has a president? Let's walk rousette. God, I love that thing. I use it all the time.
Starting point is 00:33:51 I wrap it in a blanket and sing to it at night. It's like the old Polish saying, not my monkeys, not my circus. It was a good one. It is an actual Polish saying. It is an actual Polish saying. Better version of Play Stupid Games, win stupid prizes. Yes.
Starting point is 00:34:08 Which, by the way, wasn't Taylor Swift, who said that for the first time. I actually thought it was. I got that wrong. Listen to the Nick Dick and Poll show on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. No part of me has ever been at a zoo and thought. I wanted to get in there. Like in one of the, like a little, but yeah. No, never.
Starting point is 00:34:29 Really? I don't like going to zoos anyway because I'm like I hate those animals are caged up I'm gonna look for a minute and be like dang that's crazy but then I still have guilt but I never once
Starting point is 00:34:38 have wanted to get in there with the animals especially silver bag gorillas or crocodiles or lions anything that could eat your face off so a guy's visiting the zoo
Starting point is 00:34:50 he says he thought the crocodile was fake so he jumped in to take a photo with it no he didn't it's a zoo why is there going to be a fake crocodile He thought they were trying to pull one over on him. He jumps in, goes down in the enclosure.
Starting point is 00:35:06 The crocodile is obviously there. The crocodile will obviously grab you and eat you. Zookeeper sees it, goes into the enclosure, and then had to hit the female crocodile over the head with the concrete to open her mouth because it had bitten on the guy. He was holding the dude. Here's this zookeeper who probably has a relationship with the animals too. one from afar, but you don't become a zookeeper unless you love animals.
Starting point is 00:35:32 And now he's got to take a concrete blocked his idiot's head because he wanted to go get a picture. No, not the idiot's head. The crocodile's head. Oh yeah, true. He should take the idiot's head. He should have. Good point. When the guy jumps in, the crocodile grabs his leg and is like swinging him around
Starting point is 00:35:46 and like the little river, there's no way this guy thought this crocodile was fake. That's his story once he got out. He wanted to get the ultimate selfie. I respect that. But the ultimate selfie that can kill you is not. the ultimate selfie. To his defense, though, sometimes those animals seem like they're not going to do anything because they're just sitting there with their eyes kind of closed.
Starting point is 00:36:05 That's called stalking their prey. Or that's called being depressed because you're in a zoo. Correct. Yeah, this guy's an idiot. I mean, he's in the water. He gets in the water. And the crocodile grabs him. And then again, the zookeeper's got to take a frigging block to the animal's head.
Starting point is 00:36:22 But the crocodile is going to be okay. I imagine. Just let go. He just let go. Well, I know. But you take a concrete block to your head. Maybe you guys a concussion there, but okay. There's this woman that was found alive after she was missing 62 years, which is a pretty wild story, to just not know why they're gone if they're still alive.
Starting point is 00:36:42 And then 62 years later, you find out they are, but most people that would be searching, 62 years later would also be dead. Yeah. Because imagine you're 40 and you're searching. You're going to be dead by the time they ever found her. but Audrey Backerberg in 1962 she was reported missing after hitchhiking
Starting point is 00:37:01 with a babysitter and then took a bus to Indianapolis last week a report came that said that she was found alive and well at the age of 82. It was her choice. She wanted it? The discovery was made
Starting point is 00:37:15 during an investigation of cold case files and the investigation determined there was no foul play and she left by her own choice. Dang. I didn't think that was possible. Did you hear the story? Yeah, she left
Starting point is 00:37:24 because she said her husband. husband was abusive and so she had to get out to save herself. She was with a babysitter? That's what the story said. I don't know if the babysitter was helping her like traveling with her. But in 1962 she was reported missing after hijacking or hitchhiking, sorry, with a babysitter. And then she must have just changed her identity and just kind of lived as someone else this whole time. Or the internet just didn't exist forever. Right, back in the day and then it goes cold so they quit looking and so they're not looking for that name. Wow. Although I had a Facebook checked it a couple times probably.
Starting point is 00:37:55 CFO Audrey was up there. But yeah, last week they found her alive and well at the age of 82. No foul play. You got a lot of, you got some splaining to do. But yeah, that sucks. But did you not have anybody else back at home that she would want to communicate with? If I remember correcting, I think she had two kids. Well, the babysitter, obviously there's some kids involved. Yeah, which I'm like, man, so you just bailed even and I get it, your husband was abusive, but you just left the kids? Like, that seems
Starting point is 00:38:21 a little, hmm. Bad. It does seem a little, um, bad to leave kids. Right? Especially if the husband's abusive. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:30 Well, maybe you can have the kids and go do that. Yeah. If you can. But it's hard to judge somebody when you don't know really the situation. But yeah, she disappeared for like 60 plus years or so.
Starting point is 00:38:39 The other one was, speaking of leaving relationships, a court of Americans are stuck in relationships they cannot afford to leave. What do you think that means, Amy? Oh, I mean, it's, well, it's expensive to get out of a relationship, but a lot of times,
Starting point is 00:38:52 If one of the person in a relationship is dependent upon the other financially, whoever is the breadwinner, it can be very difficult. If they leave, where do they go? Starting over is a lot. Same thing in an abusive relationship. Sometimes the people can't leave because they have nowhere to go and they can't afford to go anywhere. Right. And they have no way to make money. Or they've never worked too.
Starting point is 00:39:11 Right. Yeah, they have no way to make money. So they say money can't buy love, but it can be keeping some couples together. 24% of Americans admit they're in a relationship and they're only there because they can't afford to leave. leave. That's when you start like an eBay side business and don't tell anybody. Can you slowly build it? Ventrists. Have your own little side account. You don't tell anybody that. One and four would break up with their current partner. One and four. But sharing the bills is keeping them from splitting up. Wow. Just over a third say their partner is financially dependent on them. But that jumps to 46.5% for
Starting point is 00:39:44 male respondents. People who've been in a relationship for six months or less have a 55% chance of sharing salary information compared to 93% of those who are in for longer than that. So you're in for six months. You may show your money information. You may not. Or Lunchbox, you may be married for how long? Oh, it's coming up on 10 years, actually. And?
Starting point is 00:40:04 And she doesn't know how much I make. We don't share finances. She has her account. I have my account. And let me say, I pay a bigger percentage of bills. Why let me say? So she would be in trouble. But she has her own money.
Starting point is 00:40:19 Right. But not. You think she's staying with you because of this? You can't afford to leave? No, no. She could maybe afford to leave. Maybe. Nearly half of all respondents admit they'd be more likely to break up with their partner right now if they had no financial impact on it.
Starting point is 00:40:36 Wow. That's a lot of people in a relationship. That's when you steal. I wonder if there's a charity out there that helps these people like, you know, you don't have enough money. We can help you leave your bad relationship. Well, I mean, I think if it's an abusive one, yes. Yeah, there's a woman. shelter? I don't think there's just a break up.
Starting point is 00:40:53 It's not just like unhappy. I'm thinking of breaking up. We'll help you get a divorce. Can I get a thousand bucks? I'm no longer attracted to them. Yeah. They've put on too much weight and they don't shower enough. Any chance you could front me a couple thousand dollars? Help me out. Yeah, I don't think that's it. That's kind of sad though, huh? It's really sad.
Starting point is 00:41:09 How many people are just stuck? So what advice do you get people? Well, I mean, you said starting a side hustle. I think it's important to maintain some autonomy in your relationship and going into it just make sure if you can set up
Starting point is 00:41:25 something on the side or bring some savings into it or if you choose to stay home with the kids I mean depending it could be the guy too but it's generally speaking a lot of times it's the woman that ends up staying home but can you set money aside somehow? You don't think that woman's so crazy for charging her man for housework now do you?
Starting point is 00:41:43 Remember that story and everybody was like look how crazy that is it's crazy now all of a sudden she can leave if she wants to. I still think that she was a little off. Something was off there. Yeah. Like her, whenever she's out of there. She's off. She's out.
Starting point is 00:41:57 Bobby Boom. Come on. Eddie, are you getting scammed? I just overheard a conversation here? I think we got scammed. Who's we? Me and Amy. Well, it's mostly me because I organized this thing, but it was the basketball that Amy used for her three-point competition.
Starting point is 00:42:11 Okay, let me reset it. I didn't know this was happening. So we do this three-point competition. And if Amy's able to hit a certain amount of three-pointers, I donate to charity. And she did it. She nailed it. And so Eddie said,
Starting point is 00:42:23 why don't we auction off the basketball and have Amy sign it? And I'm like, great, give it a rip. You put it up, you're bragging about how much, like $1,500. Someone's buying this basketball. The highest bid was, yeah, like $1,500 and $50, whatever. So what happened? So then I said, all right, here's the link. Amy sent me the link of where to donate, send it to this person.
Starting point is 00:42:43 And they took about a day. And then they responded, boom, here's a screenshot. got donated. So I'm telling Amy, Amy, it happened. And she's like, okay, let me double check with the charity and make sure they got the money. She double checks with the charity, no money. But it's okay. She says, you know what? It's the weekend. Let's give it some time. Maybe the money doesn't get processed during the weekend. Okay. But I'm also saying, Eddie, I don't think this is real. But the internet's instant, guys. It's also not Pony Express. So I tell Eddie right away when he shows me who made the donation, I just am like, this is not, this seems.
Starting point is 00:43:17 sadly a scam, but Eddie has all the faith that like this is going to work out. And I'm like, well, okay, let me check. So what if his avatar is Winnie the Pooh? And his name is Prince William Cobbaugh from South Africa. Yes. He doesn't have a name. No. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:43:31 Okay, so, but how did you get scammed? So, Amy tells me today that the charity got back to her and said somebody donated one dollar. So, okay, well, so how you get, like, if he were to make a donation, because you were like how did he get the like when you make the donation you get this little you know graphic thing a receipt that says you know thanks for donating 1,750 USD to team Haiti and it has this cute little blue and red box like the donations there it looks legit because I've donated for that's what it looks like Bobby you donated that's what your receipt look like and I'm like he how would you know if he never donated it so I kept checking with the treasure and she's like oh maybe he's just not
Starting point is 00:44:11 updating I'm like oh I don't have a good feeling don't have a good feeling and then today she sends me a message and it says someone donated a dollar the day that Eddie said the donation went in and she gave me the name and she was like if they donated a dollar which is a really weird thing to donate right and then they take the receipt and they Photoshop in 1,750. But you just get scammed out of a basketball? Yeah, you got scimmed. The charity is getting scammed. No, they're not. He's saying, Eddie. No money's been taken from anything.
Starting point is 00:44:42 But Eddie's, Eddie fell for the fact that this guy. thinks he's... Oh, there's a difference in Eddie being a dumb dumb and getting scammed. This is not a scam because you didn't lose any money. In my mind,
Starting point is 00:44:51 we were making a lot of money. Did you mail the basketball? No. So there's no basketball loss. Did you lose any money? No. Okay, there's no scam. That's just a scam on his heart.
Starting point is 00:44:59 That's a good way of putting it, Amy. I got scam. My heart got scammed. Yeah, it's like, it's just a scam on humanity. It's like we're... Okay, now we're being a little dramatic here. It's like, we're deflated. Like, why mess with someone?
Starting point is 00:45:10 When Eddie's, like, trying to do something good, and this is literally for orphans in Haiti. Like, why mess with our minds that way? Like, why play a game? Like, why be shady? Just somebody shady, but nobody got scammed. You didn't get scammed.
Starting point is 00:45:22 What do we get? What do we get? Tricked? Yeah, what's it called? Nothing, because you gave them nothing. Yeah, but we got nothing. No, you didn't, because you didn't mail the basketball. Okay. You caught it.
Starting point is 00:45:30 They did come in as the highest bidder, and then Eddie spent all this back and forth, and then they're still, they're like, you were scammed out of their computer. Back and forth. Oh, scammed of your time. You guys weren't scammed, and you actually caught it before you sent off the basketball.
Starting point is 00:45:43 So you were good. You actually caught it. Is this person just sitting at home like, he-h-h-h-h-h-h-h. I'm going to get away with it. It's so funny. I haven't told him yet that they're not getting to basketball. You know what? I bet they're fine with that.
Starting point is 00:45:53 No. Are they a fan of the show? Or they just came across it and was like, I'm going to scam these people. No, they're a fan because this person said like, can't wait to get the basketball? Also, too, can you get Bobby to sign a book for me, too, please, since I donated. And they even threw, they even said, I threw an extra $250 in there. Yeah, because they only bid $1,500.
Starting point is 00:46:10 And the receipt. Then they flexed on what it did more? They did. Okay, but you didn't get scammed. You got lied to, but you didn't get scammed. Scammed would be something taken from you. Okay. So, reply back and say, hey, it looks like only $1 went through and see what they say.
Starting point is 00:46:24 I love it. Yeah, I'll do it. I'll do it. But then you have to go to the next bidder, but they don't want it anymore. I've told you how this works. Okay, but I haven't asked them yet. So let's just see what they say. Let's ask them because they may have a heart and be like, oh, man, y'all got got.
Starting point is 00:46:35 Yeah, okay. Winnie the poo got us. I heard you guys talking about getting scammed. You didn't get scammed. You get tricked, kind of. I like how Amy said it. My heart got scammed. It's true.
Starting point is 00:46:45 You were stolen back and forth. You were stolen back and forth. Okay. On paper, the three hosts of the Nick Dick and Poll show are geniuses.
