00:00:10.199 --> 00:00:14.000
Welcome to We are the Hansons today. We want to

2
00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:16.039
talk about something somebody emailed.

3
00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:21.600
Us what would we do if we won the lottery?

4
00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:26.359
I don't know if we'd ever win because we don't play, but.

5
00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:30.280
If we did, what would we do? You know, have

6
00:00:30.359 --> 00:00:32.520
you ever thought about that? Like, well, what if? What if?

7
00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:34.960
You gotta be careful with that, but.

8
00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:40.320
Hey, I'm telling you I think things would change in

9
00:00:40.359 --> 00:00:42.520
a big way for everybody around us.

10
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:43.880
I'm Jeremy Hanson.

11
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:46.840
I am the husband that once in a while gets

12
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:49.520
to come on here when you know, she cracks whipped

13
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:50.479
and says okay.

14
00:00:50.679 --> 00:00:53.240
And you are Maya Hanson.

15
00:00:53.799 --> 00:01:00.719
Maya the mama, the hot mama. So at this email?

16
00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:03.320
What was it? Tanya Jay?

17
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:07.879
Yes, And it's kind of an interesting question, like we

18
00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:10.959
probably wouldn't have done a show on you know, what

19
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:14.200
would you do if you won the lottery? Just because

20
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:15.840
that kind of you know, I kind of look at it,

21
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:17.280
and I'm not just saying this to say this.

22
00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:20.439
I kind of feel like I did win the lottery.

23
00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:24.959
You know, I got great family, I got wonderful children,

24
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:31.040
I got great grandkids, I got a beautiful wife, self employed.

25
00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:33.000
I mean, what else can you.

26
00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:38.120
Ask for Yeah. I mean that's the truth.

27
00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:39.959
Like you know, I tell.

28
00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:43.120
People all the time, you know, you're not built, you're

29
00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:47.079
not forged, You're not made in the easy times. Anybody

30
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:52.040
can be happy in the easy times. Anybody can you know,

31
00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:54.640
build or do stuff in the easy times. It's the

32
00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:57.840
hard times that really do make you who you are.

33
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:01.000
Wouldn't Tuesday, I would say it makes sense stronger as

34
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:04.280
a family during the hard times, Like we all pull

35
00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:06.200
together and we make it right.

36
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:08.560
And I think every time that happened, you learn something.

37
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:10.400
So when when.

38
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:12.159
Somebody says, well, what would you do if you won

39
00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:16.400
the lottery? Obviously they're talking about the money lottery, but

40
00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:18.879
I think that I've won the life lottery.

41
00:02:18.919 --> 00:02:19.479
I really do.

42
00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:22.639
Like you know, we all have problems, but I don't

43
00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:24.479
think I could ask for anything more than I have.

44
00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:27.520
Absolutely, our kids are like our lottery.

45
00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:28.840
Yeah absolutely.

46
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:33.400
But I mean, well, we'll answer the question, what's the

47
00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:36.400
first thing you would do. Let's let's say you win

48
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:38.560
what was that one that somebody went like almost a

49
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:40.599
billion dollars here last year?

50
00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:43.960
You remember that? Yeah, what what's the first thing you

51
00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:44.719
would do if you won?

52
00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:50.719
Hmm? I think I would say I would probably pay

53
00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:53.280
off my debt, buy a house.

54
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:54.800
Well, hang on, hang on, we got to go on

55
00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:59.000
steps here. First thing you do is gonna pay off debt. Yeah, okay.

56
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:02.960
First thing I'm doing is I'm going to seek out

57
00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:06.159
financial advice because if you've never had money like that,

58
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:08.080
who knows what kind of trouble you can get in.

59
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:11.599
And I would want to, you know, like you said,

60
00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:16.080
after I went and got financial advice from somebody, probably

61
00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:18.039
my mom, would.

62
00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:20.599
You say, Yeah, she's pretty smart about that stuff.

63
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:22.599
Well, she was a CPA for a long time. She

64
00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:24.639
knows the ins and outs, you know, kind of a

65
00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:30.280
you know, super honest person, you know, pay your taxes

66
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:32.240
on time, and but you know that's that's who my

67
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:32.719
mom is.

68
00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:36.039
So I would go there first. I would ask her

69
00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:36.639
what to do.

70
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:43.319
I would probably invest a lot of it, because you know,

71
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:45.240
me and you aren't really going to use that much.

72
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:48.719
Most of it would probably end up going to one

73
00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:50.800
would be our kids. But I wouldn't want our kids

74
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:52.840
to be snotty bratt, So I'd set it up in

75
00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:54.319
a way that they had to work, they had to

76
00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:56.080
go through some hard times, and then they make it.

77
00:03:56.120 --> 00:03:59.240
And I know some people disagree with that. But that's okay,

78
00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:02.319
because this is what I would do. Yeah, okay, so

79
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:06.319
you're saying that you would pay off that, so all

80
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:08.800
that's gone, and then what would you do.

81
00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:10.840
I would buy a house.

82
00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:13.599
Okay, like what kind of house? Help tell me.

83
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:17.519
I'd have to say, like a beautiful farm.

84
00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:19.279
Beautiful farm. Okay.

85
00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:21.600
So I'm gonna say, if we had that kind of money,

86
00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:26.319
I'm looking for sixty to eighty acres on a farm

87
00:04:26.839 --> 00:04:27.399
on a lake.

88
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:29.680
That's impossible.

89
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:31.240
I'm telling you, it could be done.

90
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:33.079
Okay, it can make our own lake.

91
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:36.079
No, no, no, no, I want a lake, a proper lake.

92
00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:38.079
You can put a glass on Carlson down in there

93
00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:41.800
and go, you know, water skiing, take the pontoon boat

94
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:43.240
out with the grandkids, go fishing.

95
00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:44.639
That's That's what I'm talking about.

96
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:48.399
I'm talking about being in the middle of nowhere, just

97
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:52.800
in the woods, okay, so you know, lots of animals

98
00:04:52.839 --> 00:04:54.240
and life.

99
00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:55.759
All right, So here it is. So this is what

100
00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:58.360
we're gonna have to do if we win the lottery.

101
00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:00.879
We're gonna have to get a lake house with three

102
00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:03.959
four acres, and then we'll have to go buy eighty

103
00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:05.759
to one hundred acres somewhere in the middle of the

104
00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:09.879
of nowhere where we can have the hobby farm plus

105
00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:11.399
all the people around.

106
00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:12.920
What do you think sounds good to me?

107
00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:13.839
Okay?

108
00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:18.839
And then past that, I would probably buy a newer truck.

109
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:20.839
I don't know if i'd go brain. I think just

110
00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:26.000
because of growing up the way that I have and

111
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:27.199
living the life that I have.

112
00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:30.920
I don't know if I could be stupid with money.

113
00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:34.279
Yeah, I don't think I could either.

114
00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:37.319
Like, I literally think I would get nervous if, like, Okay,

115
00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:41.360
there's a brand new Chevy thirty five hundred, and then

116
00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:43.000
I look at the price tag and be like, man,

117
00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:45.199
is there like one that's one or two years old?

118
00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:47.800
So you know, I don't get that twenty percent drop

119
00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:49.839
when I I don't know. That's just probably the way

120
00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:50.279
I would be.

121
00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:53.079
I don't want a new vehicle anyway. I like what

122
00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:53.519
we have.

123
00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:54.519
I do.

124
00:05:54.839 --> 00:05:57.800
I'd probably upgrade my truck. I'd keep this one and

125
00:05:57.839 --> 00:05:59.879
it'd be going into a museum or something for being

126
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:01.240
best damn truck ever.

127
00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:04.199
But the kids think so for sure.

128
00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:08.040
Yeah, I mean, you know what's funny. I've had that

129
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:10.560
truck for quite a few years now, and I still

130
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:12.480
kind of look at it, like, man, that's a newer truck.

131
00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:15.879
But it's an O four twenty five hundred HD with

132
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:18.360
the six So it's exactly the truck that I wanted.

133
00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:19.120
But it's a work truck.

134
00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:22.600
I mean, roll up windows, and it's a hot truck,

135
00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:25.199
no power anything, got a little bit of a lift

136
00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:27.879
to it, aluminum rims, and it's just a good old

137
00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:30.079
work truck. It's taken me to the top of mountains,

138
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:32.680
It's taken me through creeks. You remember when we were

139
00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:36.720
going home and folks, we were inside Walmart and our

140
00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:41.600
first experience with flash flooding was like this. Our thirteen

141
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:44.519
year old daughter was watching two of our kids at home.

142
00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:47.800
The other kids were at their friend's house. We go

143
00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:50.199
into Walmart. We're just picking out like frozen pizza or something,

144
00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:52.720
who knows, and we come out and we hear it

145
00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:54.639
start raining while we're in Walmart.

146
00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:56.079
What were we in there? Ten minutes?

147
00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:56.480
Yep.

148
00:06:56.959 --> 00:06:58.720
It was completely dry.

149
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:01.560
When we went in, and when we came out there

150
00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:03.560
was what four or five inches of water in Walmart

151
00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:06.360
parking lot. Yeah, and we go up over the hill

152
00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:11.720
and we're going out this road and Missouri Dot was

153
00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:14.439
there and they were literally shutting the roads down, and

154
00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:15.720
I yelled at them. I was like, hey, I got

155
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:18.160
kids at home. I have to get through. And they

156
00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:21.639
reluctantly let us go. But as we were driving, you remember,

157
00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:23.480
it actually swept our truck all the way to the

158
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:24.279
other side of the road.

159
00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:25.160
Yeah, yep.

160
00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:27.759
But we got home, you know, Praise the Good Lord.

161
00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:33.040
And things were great. But you know those if we

162
00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:35.199
were really rich, would we have those adventures?

163
00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:35.639
No?

164
00:07:37.040 --> 00:07:39.319
And those adventures are I mean, that's what I live for.

165
00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:40.600
I don't want to be rich.

166
00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:43.399
Yeah, I don't really think I would either, you know,

167
00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:48.480
like all the stuff that really matters, like the memories

168
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:49.680
that we've made and stuff.

169
00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:52.319
I don't know if.

170
00:07:52.199 --> 00:07:54.560
The people like that the super rich people do that.

171
00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:57.439
Like I'll give you an example when we had the

172
00:07:57.480 --> 00:08:00.519
seven baby calves we were raising for beef, and it

173
00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:02.319
was the kids's jobs.

174
00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:04.639
And we're talking little kids here. We had to go

175
00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:05.800
bottle feet them. Do you remember that?

176
00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:09.160
Ugh? That was my I love that so.

177
00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:11.600
And that's what I'm saying. Do do rich people get

178
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:12.720
to do that type of thing?

179
00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:14.560
Maybe?

180
00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:16.160
You know?

181
00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:20.079
Or speaking of my truck, I take my boys out

182
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:22.800
hunting and we go up to the in Loss to

183
00:08:23.079 --> 00:08:26.040
Maya's parents, and we'd take my truck up to the

184
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:28.519
top of this mountain and we're talking like logging roads

185
00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:31.040
to get up there. And it's nice in the morning,

186
00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:33.799
I mean really nice. It's dark out. So we go

187
00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:37.039
up there. You know, we're proper hunters. We're sitting there

188
00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:39.879
and about ten o'clock a storm comes in and it

189
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:43.080
goes from like sixty eight degrees down to like twenty five,

190
00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:48.720
you remember that, and the whole mountain turned to ice, and.

191
00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:50.080
Every ride coming down.

192
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:52.960
Yeah, right, I went and it just got a little

193
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:54.519
bit too much out there. So I went and I

194
00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:58.879
picked up Tristan. He jumped in. We slid halfway down

195
00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:02.559
the mountain and we got down there. My other son, Gavin.

196
00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:05.320
I look at him, his first year hunting, and he's,

197
00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:07.919
you know, freezing to death and cold because we got

198
00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:09.639
wet first because it rained and then it turned to

199
00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:12.519
freezing rain. And he gets in. This is this is

200
00:09:12.639 --> 00:09:15.840
no lie, folks. He gets in the back and he shuts.

201
00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:17.519
I got like the suicide doors on the back of

202
00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:20.440
my truck. He shuts his Tristan shuts his door, and

203
00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:22.720
just the movement from the door hitting the truck made

204
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:25.759
us start sliding down the hill again. But guess what,

205
00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:30.679
I don't think that if you have won the lottery,

206
00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:33.720
I don't know if you get those experiences.

207
00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:37.559
I don't think a lot of Maybe it's a trade off,

208
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:41.919
not even if you win the lottery, if you're just rich,

209
00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:44.519
I don't think you get to experience that.

210
00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:46.159
Yeah, I don't think so either.

211
00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:49.159
And I think other things like you know, getting really

212
00:09:49.159 --> 00:09:52.600
good on the grill, you know, having having to get

213
00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:56.639
togethers with really close trusted friends that that you understand

214
00:09:56.720 --> 00:09:59.399
you and you understand them, the type of people that

215
00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:01.120
would give you the shirt off their back. I mean,

216
00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:03.840
do you get those types of friends?

217
00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:05.159
I don't know.

218
00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:08.440
So yeah, I don't know that either. You know, I

219
00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:08.879
think that.

220
00:10:08.960 --> 00:10:11.360
Everybody says, you know, we'll pay off our debt, and

221
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:14.440
I think that everybody says that we will get a home.

222
00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:19.039
You know, some people would probably say, you know, I'm

223
00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:20.080
gonna I'm gonna do this.

224
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:20.759
I'll say this.

225
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:26.879
The Children's Miracle Network would be getting a whole lot

226
00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:30.399
of money. Yeah, I mean a whole lot of money

227
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:34.480
just from how they helped us when we had all

228
00:10:34.559 --> 00:10:37.240
the problems with her. I'm telling you right now, folks,

229
00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:40.440
if they weren't around, we wouldn't.

230
00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:41.200
Have been able to do what we did.

231
00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:43.600
No, not at all.

232
00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:47.399
So I mean they would probably get at least half Yeah.

233
00:10:47.480 --> 00:10:50.159
I mean the thing is, our kids they know that

234
00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:53.240
they got to make their own money, you know what

235
00:10:53.240 --> 00:10:55.159
I mean, Like, they know this is what mom and

236
00:10:55.240 --> 00:10:56.600
dad did, this is what we're gonna do.

237
00:10:57.000 --> 00:10:59.279
And the good thing is they don't mind making it

238
00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:00.200
that way either.

239
00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:02.679
Right, right, And that's the other thing.

240
00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:07.279
If our if we just gave away all that to

241
00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:11.039
our kids, and I think our kids will do a

242
00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:13.679
pretty good job. But then their kids, you know, they're

243
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:15.639
going to be raised a little bit different than life's

244
00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:19.879
going to be a little bit easier. I truly believe

245
00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:27.519
that that story about hard times create hard men. Hard

246
00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:34.320
men create easy times, easy times create weak men, and

247
00:11:34.360 --> 00:11:35.919
weak men create hard times.

248
00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:36.519
Do you believe that?

249
00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:37.759
I do believe that.

250
00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:41.120
I do too, So I think there's a life balance

251
00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:44.679
in there. You sure wouldn't have to go to work

252
00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:47.919
if you didn't want to, But again, is that a

253
00:11:47.960 --> 00:11:48.360
good thing?

254
00:11:49.159 --> 00:11:51.600
No? Who wants to sit around and be lazy?

255
00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:54.200
Would I help my family and friends?

256
00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:58.759
Absolutely? Would we give the charity? Absolutely? Would I upgrade

257
00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:04.600
my truck. Absolutely. Would we be debt free, absolutely, would

258
00:12:04.679 --> 00:12:08.279
all of our kids and grandkids have an s egg. Absolutely.

259
00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:12.159
But we wouldn't buy crazy stuff, I know that for

260
00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:15.279
a fact. And we'd probably go on a few trips,

261
00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:19.480
because you really like going on trips. Yes, I don't

262
00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:22.360
think we'd go on a spending spree, like you know,

263
00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:24.600
I've heard people they go buy mansions, they go buy

264
00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:27.240
sports cars. They I was reading a thing the other

265
00:12:27.320 --> 00:12:31.240
day where Demi Moore was wearing a shirt that I

266
00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:33.200
think was like thirteen thousand dollars.

267
00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:35.519
That's ridiculous, But you could buy the.

268
00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:37.759
Same shirt for like I think it was forty eight

269
00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:40.679
dollars somewhere else. But she chose that well, because she's

270
00:12:40.720 --> 00:12:41.200
got the money.

271
00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:45.480
I don't. I really don't know if we'd be doing that.

272
00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:48.240
I'll stick to my thrift stores, right.

273
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:50.519
You know, I don't know about thrift all the time.

274
00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:51.679
But you know what I'm saying.

275
00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:56.399
I think that a lot of people, like if you

276
00:12:56.519 --> 00:12:59.600
look like one of the highest percentage of people to

277
00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:02.159
go are the ones that actually won the lottery?

278
00:13:02.159 --> 00:13:02.720
Have you seen that?

279
00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:06.840
Yes? And I don't know how.

280
00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:09.720
Well I don't either, but I think it's because of

281
00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:14.919
spending spreeze and traveling the world, not understanding how money works,

282
00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:18.200
getting around other people, trying to have that ego where

283
00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:19.879
you're showing up people, you know.

284
00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:20.919
That kind of stuff.

285
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:25.720
And I've never understood that. Now, like you take you say,

286
00:13:25.759 --> 00:13:29.559
sports car, you know me, I'd upgrade my truck and

287
00:13:29.919 --> 00:13:32.759
i'd probably you know, I hate to say this, but

288
00:13:32.799 --> 00:13:36.000
i'd probably, if I'm being honest, i'd have like a

289
00:13:36.080 --> 00:13:37.840
seventy one Roadrunner.

290
00:13:38.840 --> 00:13:39.720
I'd have a Nova.

291
00:13:40.200 --> 00:13:43.919
Yeah, well you like Nova's. I like roadrunners. I like

292
00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:46.240
Nova's too, but you know, not like a Roadrunner.

293
00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:48.039
But I'd have something like that.

294
00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:51.440
But it wouldn't be like super extravagant. It would be

295
00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:53.600
like to Tim the toolman tailor type car.

296
00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:58.879
I like those black and white cars.

297
00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:01.960
Black and white. Any car could be black and white.

298
00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:05.440
No, you know, they got the mint green one. I

299
00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:07.879
don't even know what they are. They're like the bell Layer.

300
00:14:08.360 --> 00:14:12.000
Oh, the fifty seven Chevs? Yes, yeah, yeah, you like that.

301
00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:16.360
By one daughter, Folks, she's thirteen and she wants a

302
00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:18.279
fifty nine Cadillac Convertible.

303
00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:19.200
Yep.

304
00:14:19.639 --> 00:14:21.799
Now, you don't see very many thirteen year old girls

305
00:14:21.799 --> 00:14:23.879
that want a fifty nine Cadillac convertible, I can tell

306
00:14:23.919 --> 00:14:24.240
you that.

307
00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:27.480
And she's got the color scheme and everything picked out.

308
00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:30.840
You know, I just think there's so many downfalls. Like

309
00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:33.440
the reason that I would go to somebody that's really

310
00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:37.360
good financially first is to get the money out of

311
00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:38.200
my hands.

312
00:14:38.519 --> 00:14:39.360
Does that make sense?

313
00:14:40.200 --> 00:14:41.759
Yeah, because you see a lot of people.

314
00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:44.759
Get scammed, you know, when they win that you know,

315
00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:49.759
you see, I'm telling you I have met so many

316
00:14:49.840 --> 00:14:54.240
rich people. I mean, we've been invited to places that

317
00:14:55.720 --> 00:14:59.159
you know, they probably make in a day what.

318
00:14:59.159 --> 00:15:00.320
We make in year.

319
00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:01.320
Yeah.

320
00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:05.000
Okay, But the thing that I have found with the

321
00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:09.080
people that are rich, Okay, I've and I'll make a

322
00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:13.480
little different saying about this, But the people that are

323
00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:16.120
rich and the people that act rich, I'm telling you,

324
00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:18.799
I think they really do struggle to be happy, Like

325
00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:22.000
happiness is not in their realm. They get all this money,

326
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:23.360
they think they're going to be happy, and then they

327
00:15:23.360 --> 00:15:25.799
have the money, and they have the stuff, they got

328
00:15:25.799 --> 00:15:27.960
all these new family and friends.

329
00:15:27.519 --> 00:15:30.480
That you know aren't really their family and friends.

330
00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:33.039
They blow the money and they use the money to

331
00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:36.679
try to compensate for something to actually be happy.

332
00:15:36.720 --> 00:15:37.639
Have you seen that too.

333
00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:42.600
Yes, And I that saying is money don't buy happiness.

334
00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:43.559
It's a fact.

335
00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:46.919
They buy security. Yes, they buys security. I mean, you

336
00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:48.759
don't have to worry about your bills being paid. But

337
00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:50.639
I'll tell you what, I don't think that it can

338
00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:56.480
buy happiness. So on the other side of that, I

339
00:15:56.519 --> 00:16:00.080
have met a lot of very happy people that we

340
00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:03.720
became friends with that you knew had money, but you

341
00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:05.440
didn't really know they had money.

342
00:16:05.480 --> 00:16:09.120
You know what I'm saying, Yeah, because them are the

343
00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:12.720
people that don't sit there and flaunt it or treat

344
00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:13.480
you different.

345
00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:16.120
I'll give me an example.

346
00:16:17.080 --> 00:16:18.600
We got some friends and I'm not going to say

347
00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:23.960
their names, but they are worth a lot of money,

348
00:16:24.360 --> 00:16:26.559
and when I first met them, I didn't know they

349
00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:29.159
had any money. They you know, money's not their thing.

350
00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:33.960
It's genuine friendships, that type of thing. And now when

351
00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:38.200
I met him, he actually called you for the business.

352
00:16:38.279 --> 00:16:39.960
He's like, hey, I need some work done. So we

353
00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:41.799
go out there and we start talking and he tells

354
00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:44.840
us and we did what four or five jobs for

355
00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:49.080
them before we started being friends friends, And then after we

356
00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:53.159
became friends, he brought us into his home and it

357
00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:55.080
is a beautiful home. Don't get me wrong, but he

358
00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:58.159
takes us into this wing, and you know, he wanted

359
00:16:58.159 --> 00:17:00.480
to show us something that was really special to him.

360
00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:02.559
This is the way that he used his money. And

361
00:17:02.600 --> 00:17:04.440
he didn't wait into the lottery. But he has a

362
00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:07.920
lot of it. And they're not foolish spenders. I would

363
00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:09.599
say they're actually pretty frugal, wouldn't you.

364
00:17:09.960 --> 00:17:10.319
I would.

365
00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:16.759
But for his twentieth wedding anniversary, his wife wanted something

366
00:17:16.920 --> 00:17:21.720
that reminded her of home. Well, she was from Alabama originally.

367
00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:26.400
So he went down to Alabama and he found the

368
00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:28.319
school that she went in, and she was in the

369
00:17:28.359 --> 00:17:29.559
country down in Alabama.

370
00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:30.640
You know. It was like one of.

371
00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:35.359
Those old one room schoolhouses and they had a swamp

372
00:17:35.400 --> 00:17:36.200
oak floor.

373
00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:38.519
It was beautiful.

374
00:17:38.799 --> 00:17:41.839
And what he did was he went down there, he

375
00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:46.400
bought the building. He flew a crew out from California.

376
00:17:46.480 --> 00:17:48.799
They came to Alabama, they pulled up the floor, they

377
00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:51.759
numbered it, they flew it all back to California.

378
00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:54.359
They went through, they redid it in their machine.

379
00:17:54.559 --> 00:17:57.960
They packed it all back up, flew it back to Missouri,

380
00:17:58.240 --> 00:18:00.799
had a whole crew come out in Missouri, ripped the

381
00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:04.440
floor out of his house and put his wife's one

382
00:18:04.519 --> 00:18:09.079
room schoolroom floor down in their living room. That was

383
00:18:09.160 --> 00:18:13.240
his gift to her. Now, I can tell you, yeah,

384
00:18:13.279 --> 00:18:15.559
it costs a lot of money. But the thought that

385
00:18:15.640 --> 00:18:17.839
went into that gift, I don't know.

386
00:18:17.920 --> 00:18:20.400
That man. That's just amazing to me.

387
00:18:20.680 --> 00:18:25.359
That, yes, the floor is gorgeous.

388
00:18:24.000 --> 00:18:27.279
Gorgeous, and every time she every time she walks in there,

389
00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:28.640
she's got that thought.

390
00:18:28.440 --> 00:18:30.359
Of this makes me feel like I'm home.

391
00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:33.519
Yes, you know, that took a lot of guts and

392
00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:36.480
it took a lot of thinking. And that man really

393
00:18:36.519 --> 00:18:37.519
does love his.

394
00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:42.640
Wife, Yeah he does. They're very very very good, genuine people.

395
00:18:44.039 --> 00:18:47.160
So I don't know if that really answered their question.

396
00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:52.400
But in a nutshell upgrade our home probably by two,

397
00:18:52.599 --> 00:18:57.319
a hobby farm somewhere on the lake Pontoon, maybe a

398
00:18:57.400 --> 00:18:59.839
John Boat glass John Carlson, if I could find one

399
00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:03.279
deep enough, Friday night.

400
00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:05.839
Car, a couple side by sides, you'd.

401
00:19:05.640 --> 00:19:07.079
Want to side by side, a couple of them for

402
00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:08.200
the kids and us.

403
00:19:08.079 --> 00:19:09.960
Just to go out trail riding.

404
00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:14.759
Ye, little things like that we would have at our

405
00:19:14.759 --> 00:19:17.920
fingertips and we would probably do it. We'd I'm telling you,

406
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:21.400
at least half is going to go to charity. And

407
00:19:21.440 --> 00:19:24.240
there would be more than that too, Like the good

408
00:19:24.279 --> 00:19:25.920
Lord says, this is how much you're going to give,

409
00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:26.240
so that.

410
00:19:26.200 --> 00:19:27.440
Would be given as well.

411
00:19:28.480 --> 00:19:32.200
We would put a bunch in for our kids and

412
00:19:32.279 --> 00:19:34.400
our grandkids so they had a little bit of net egg,

413
00:19:34.440 --> 00:19:38.960
you know, like when we're gone, they have something something decent.

414
00:19:39.759 --> 00:19:44.519
And then past that, I don't really think there'd be anything.

415
00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:47.279
No, that's pretty much it.

416
00:19:47.319 --> 00:19:51.759
I might buy some new underwear, yeah you need it. Yeah, okay, folks,

417
00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:55.000

that listen to this or the wives that listen to this,

424
00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:15.240
because I've got some pretty comfortable, awesome underwear and my

425
00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:20.039
wife wants nothing more than for me to live unhappily

426
00:20:20.160 --> 00:20:23.880
with bad underwear because she always tries getting read of

427
00:20:23.960 --> 00:20:25.640
the most comfortable underwear I have.

428
00:20:25.839 --> 00:20:28.480
And I want to know, holy underwear you have.

429
00:20:28.880 --> 00:20:31.640
Well, I want to know from the guys if their

430
00:20:31.680 --> 00:20:35.200
wives are doing the same thing, and wives, I want

431
00:20:35.200 --> 00:20:37.720
to know from you if you're trying to sabotage your

432
00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:40.240
husband the same way my wife is with their underwear.

433
00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:42.599
I want to know why they're holy.

434
00:20:43.440 --> 00:20:45.559
Yeah, but I mean you're not wearing them.

435
00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:48.599
It doesn't matter. I got to see you in them.

436
00:20:49.079 --> 00:20:54.640
Well, but it is what it is, folks. I hope

437
00:20:54.640 --> 00:20:55.640
that answers the question.

438
00:20:56.200 --> 00:21:04.160
We love you, and we will be back on Monday.
