1:36 Speaker 00 Some people like to, you know, some people are nervous to get on the air, Dustin.

1:41 Speaker 00 And, you know, sometimes it's easier just to text in and.
1:46 Speaker 02 Not have human contact.
1:47 Speaker 00 Exactly.
1:48 Speaker 03 Did you just say Dustin?
1:49 Speaker 00 No, I didn't say Dustin.
1:51 Speaker 02 Today, we are your hosts. My name is Justin Leland with.
1:55 Speaker 03 I'm with Dustin.
1:56 Speaker 02 Yeah, exactly.
1:57 Speaker 03 I'm not with Dustin. You're with Dustin.
1:58 Speaker 00 I'm with Dustin.
1:59 Speaker 02 I'm with Dustin.
2:01 Speaker 00 And it's funny, because I guess we've done this a couple of times with the Austins.
2:04 Speaker 02 Yeah.
2:05 Speaker 00 And I believe the last guest, when I sent over a copy of the interview, they said, oh, and thank you. We really appreciate spending time with the Austins. So it is sticking.
2:14 Speaker 02 It is sticking. The Austin crew.
2:16 Speaker 03 We'll take it.
2:17 Speaker 02 We'll take it. Hey, the NBA, being that we're ESPN, the NBA trade deadline is over. So I'm going to ask you this, Steve Z. Uh, the Laker game that I was supposed to go to, I was supposed to go to a Laker game. Uh, but on the Saturday we were supposed to go, they were supposed to play the Spurs.
2:36 Speaker 00 Okay, that'd been a good game.
2:38 Speaker 02 And that game was postponed because of the fires.
2:41 Speaker 00 Oh, okay.
2:43 Speaker 02 And so.
2:43 Speaker 00 Which is only a couple of games were canceled for that.
2:45 Speaker 02 Yeah, only a couple. So that game on that Saturday night was postponed. They finally rescheduled it. And it's rescheduled for none other than St. Patrick's Day.
2:55 Speaker 00 Oh, nice.
2:56 Speaker 02 The Monday, St. Patrick's Day, uh, against the Spurs.
3:00 Speaker 00 That's a good game.
3:01 Speaker 02 And so now after the trade deadline is over, cause that was pre deadline. Now it's post deadline. So now we've got Luca.
3:08 Speaker 00 You get to see some Luca.
3:09 Speaker 02 Is he gonna lose 15 pounds between now and then? He's got like, what, five weeks?
3:14 Speaker 00 I mean, he's not like, he's a defender.
3:16 Speaker 02 Well, true. He never was.
3:18 Speaker 00 He, he came out and said, weight's not a problem. I can still make the hoop. So, I mean, it's not really, I mean, a sport that you really need to be too fit.
3:28 Speaker 02 So my son, who I'm taking to that game, it's just the two of us. He was always wanted to go watch a Laker game. So we got.
3:33 Speaker 00 Oh, so it's his first.
3:34 Speaker 02 It's his first.
3:35 Speaker 00 Oh, nice.
3:35 Speaker 02 And so we're going. He wanted to see Wemby. So.
3:39 Speaker 00 That'll be cool.
3:40 Speaker 02 He wants to go. And so he.
3:41 Speaker 00 Plus the Spurs picked up some good guys.
3:43 Speaker 02 Exactly. So I'm wondering, who do you think, who do you think in that game? Now after the trade, who, now they looked pretty good. Both teams. They did pretty good after the trade. They looked, they both looked better after the trade deadline.
3:55 Speaker 00 I know the Lakers picked up a center.
3:56 Speaker 02 They did pick up the guy from the Hornets, right?
3:58 Speaker 00 Yep. So, I mean, are you a Laker fan? Are you just a?
4:02 Speaker 02 Until the playoffs. Yeah.
4:05 Speaker 00 Um, I would, I mean, I'm, I'm a big Wemby fan, but I would go with the Lakers. It should be a good game though. If LeBron, I mean, it is pre, well, that'll be after the All-Star game. So that's when they start playing basketball, actually.
4:17 Speaker 02 Yeah. They're trying to, they're trying to position in the playoffs at that point.
4:21 Speaker 00 It should be a good game. That's a, that's a good pick.
4:23 Speaker 02 That's a, that's a good pick.
4:24 Speaker 00 Good pick, dad.
4:25 Speaker 02 Yeah, you know.
4:26 Speaker 00 I wish my dad would take me to a basketball game.
4:28 Speaker 02 Jeez. Well, yeah.
4:34 Speaker 00 But no, that's, that should be a good game. I'm also interested in, uh, I'm always been a big Jimmy Butler fan. So it's kind of weird to see him in a Warriors uniform.
4:42 Speaker 02 Interesting.
4:43 Speaker 00 Next to Curry.
4:44 Speaker 02 Yeah.
4:44 Speaker 00 And he decided to wear number 10 as, uh, you know, the whole Tim Hardaway days.
4:49 Speaker 02 Yeah.
4:50 Speaker 00 So it'll be cool, but, um,
4:52 Speaker 02 That'll be interesting.
4:53 Speaker 00 Definitely not a basketball fan. I can already hear Greg Kerr throwing his things while he's driving back to the news station.
5:00 Speaker 02 What the heck is? Yeah, no, sorry. Uh, but yeah, it's, I, I think it's going to be fun. It's going to be a lot of driving on a Monday night with a bunch of drunks on St. Patrick's Day.
5:09 Speaker 03 Oh, yeah.
5:10 Speaker 02 That's the only thing I work.
5:12 Speaker 03 Definitely have to look out for that.
5:13 Speaker 02 That's going to be a little bit fun coming back from, uh, the crypto arena.
5:17 Speaker 00 Well, I'm taking my son to his first hip hop concert next weekend down in LA.
5:21 Speaker 02 That should be fun.
5:22 Speaker 00 He's a Tyler, the creator. He's a big fan.
5:25 Speaker 02 Okay.
5:25 Speaker 00 I'm, I don't know too much about the guy, but that's what he wanted for Christmas. So.
5:30 Speaker 02 There you go.
5:30 Speaker 00 Been saving up as long as he's got, you know, good grades, which has never been an issue. I said, sure, I'll go.
5:36 Speaker 02 Yeah.
5:36 Speaker 00 So we'll see how that goes.
5:38 Speaker 02 I'm a big believer in the memories, not big gifts, right? So, hey, if you want to go to a Laker game, we're going to go to a Laker game.
5:44 Speaker 00 That's one thing my dad did. He took me to tons of concerts while I was growing up. So I like the, uh, the one on one with my boys.
5:50 Speaker 02 That's, I'll do that any day of the week. Right? So.
5:52 Speaker 03 Even if it's horrible music.
5:53 Speaker 02 Yeah.
5:53 Speaker 03 Being a money show, uh, too, sometimes. Uh, that's some of the best money spent, right?
5:58 Speaker 02 Yes.
5:59 Speaker 03 On memories.
6:00 Speaker 02 Yeah, absolutely. I'll do that. I'll do that 10 times before I buy a stupid Lego set, you know?
6:08 Speaker 03 Some Lego fan is very.
6:09 Speaker 00 Been there, done that too.
6:11 Speaker 02 Been there, done that. Uh, but anyhow, we did get a couple of questions, but we'll do that just a second, but we're going to do what we do best. What are the numbers today, Dustin? We got some, uh, mixed markets out there.
6:22 Speaker 03 Yeah. The Dow was down about point two eight. What do you guys call it? The dumb Dow?
6:26 Speaker 02 The dingy Dow.
6:27 Speaker 03 And then, uh, S and P 500 is up point three six. So 21, two points up to 6,083.
6:34 Speaker 02 Yeah, I was looking into the Dow and trying to figure out one of the reasons why it shook and was down when the rest of the markets were actually up. You know, S and P was up, NASDAQ was up, but the Dow was actually down. I'm looking at it here and it looks like Honeywell was kind of the drag. Honeywell actually ended the day down more than 5%, dragged the Dow lower. After the company issued its full year earnings guidance that fell really short of what the analysts had expected. Of course, you know, we always know like. When you're doing these quarterly calls or annual calls, the analysts who look at these companies have their expectations, right? They come out and they say, we expect this company based on past history, we expect this company to do XYZ.
7:19 Speaker 02 And when Honeywell or any of these companies come out and say, this is what we're expecting going forward. If that doesn't meet with what the analysts expect, that's when you see a big drop or a big. In whatever the, you know, good news, bad news, whatever happens. Well, Honeywell fell short of what the analysts had anticipated. Now, the other thing about it that I think is actually more interesting than that is that Honeywell. Announced in this call that it's going to split into three companies.
7:52 Speaker 03 You know, that doesn't surprise me because they do a lot of, they do a lot of business.
7:56 Speaker 02 They're huge. They're a huge conglomerate, but. When a company like that size splits into three companies and they divest themselves into three different companies. Does that mean that they're going to be removed from the Dow eventually?
8:10 Speaker 03 Good point.
8:11 Speaker 02 Right? So then they're going to be replaced by somebody else that's in the industrial or whatever.
8:16 Speaker 03 Right.
8:16 Speaker 02 Side. So it'll be interesting to see. If that happens, what company? Winds up, you know, replacing Honeywell on.
8:27 Speaker 03 Companies maybe.
8:28 Speaker 02 Companies. Well, it's got to be one if it's going to, because the Dow 30, right? 30 companies. They're not going to replace it with a multiple, but yeah. So how do they? Pick, what does the Dow Jones do to pick another company to replace Honeywell?
8:42 Speaker 03 Yeah, I don't know the breakdown. They do aerospace, they do building automation, energy.
8:47 Speaker 02 Technology, healthcare.
8:49 Speaker 03 Yeah.
8:50 Speaker 02 Yeah, caterpillars in there, you know, so like, how do they do that? So, and by, you know, contrast, you have Philip Morris. Was really up on the heels of some. Really better than expected earnings. I guess everybody's out there.
9:06 Speaker 00 Smoking again?
9:07 Speaker 02 Lighten up the cigarettes. I guess, you know, maybe, maybe they were looking at the politics of the day and they're like, I gotta light up a, light up a cigarette.
9:17 Speaker 02 Maybe, I don't know. Who knows? Maybe, maybe the alcohol companies are probably going to be doing well in a little bit. I don't know. But that was interesting as well. So, but they're also on the Dow as well. So it's interesting that the Dow was down as much as it was today when everything else seemed to be up.
9:37 Speaker 02 But anyhow.
9:39 Speaker 02 So what do we have as far as questions? Let's see what we got here.
9:42 Speaker 00 I got you. I got you. The first one is, well, let's go to the most recent one, just because it's topical. It says, haven't been to a Lakers game since the Showtime days. Our ticket's really pricey with LeBron playing in LA. And well done, Justin. My uncle took me to see Magic Johnson and James Worthy when I was younger in the good old forum.
10:03 Speaker 02 You know what? Good old forum. You know what? I never saw a Lakers game. This will actually be my first Lakers game too. I'm not a, not a huge basketball fan, but I did go to the forum to watch the Kings when they played at the forum. And my first game watching the Kings was back in 1993, watching Luke Robitaille and Kelly Rudy and the great one. Wayne Gretzky and Wayne Gretzky that night had a, had a hat trick and Luke Robitaille had four points. He had like two assists and two goals. It was ridiculous. They were playing the Calgary Flames, if I remember right. And I was like, I was like 13 years old or 14 years old.
10:43 Speaker 00 And so you remembered it. Money well spent.
10:45 Speaker 02 Yeah. And I, and my dad took me and we had tickets on center ice on the red line and not right behind the glass, but we were pretty close. We were down there and I was hooked. You know, I'd never been to a hockey game in person, but it was just the speed and everything. I was just, I was hooked. So, uh, it was really, really awesome. So, uh, love that.
11:09 Speaker 03 There's gonna be a Kings game at the Mechanics Bank Arena later this year.
11:13 Speaker 02 Yeah.
11:13 Speaker 03 They're gonna play the Ducks on the 27th of September.
11:17 Speaker 02 Yeah, that's, love it. I love hockey. That's my, that's my.
11:20 Speaker 00 Are they still doing that? Is that like the, the annual exhibition game here?
11:23 Speaker 03 Yeah, exhibition. It's preseason.
11:25 Speaker 02 It's, it's the preseason. After the season's over, they'll do something in September. Um, I actually remember, you remember a couple of years ago when the, uh, the, uh, they had the game out there at Renegade Stadium at B C, outdoor. They, they played a, a game outdoors, um, there at, uh, Bakersfield College.
11:43 Speaker 00 I've never seen Kobe play here. I remember when the Lakers back in the day played here.
11:47 Speaker 02 I won't get into the prices of the tickets.
11:50 Speaker 00 Is it that pricey?
11:51 Speaker 02 But I'm not on the floor seats. Let's just put it that way. Uh, those tickets were a little bit out of the old dad's pocket range. Um, but we are, you know, decent tickets, but when you're, when you're looking at some, some serious dough to, to plop down for two tickets.
12:10 Speaker 00 Yeah, I could add a.
12:10 Speaker 02 And that's, and that's before we even park the car.
12:13 Speaker 00 There's no bad seats at Crypto though.
12:15 Speaker 02 There's really no bad seats at Crypto, but we're not, we're not down on the floor level. I'm not sitting and rubbing elbows with Jack Nicholson. Let's put it that way. Um, yeah, that was not in the price range, but they're definitely not cheap. Let's, let's put it that way. Um, LeBron, uh, I, I think even without LeBron playing there, regardless, uh, those tickets were gonna be expensive. I know even looking at Kings tickets when I wanted to go watch a game at the, with the Kings at Crypto, those are not cheap and they play 82 games as well. I mean, they're, it's, it is not cheap. You're looking mid 300, 400 range for a hockey game, right? And that's.
12:52 Speaker 00 And is that cheaper than Dodger tickets?
12:55 Speaker 02 They're.
12:57 Speaker 00 I know after Otani, they went up.
12:59 Speaker 02 Yeah, they went up, but, uh, you know, obviously, uh, 82 home games for the, for the Dodgers, uh, or 81 home games.
13:11 Speaker 02 Depends on where you're sitting, but yeah, field level tickets for the Dodgers right now are ridiculous.
13:19 Speaker 00 Wow.
13:20 Speaker 03 Went to a
13:21 Speaker 02 You can go to an Angels game and it's like 50 bucks. They'll like
13:23 Speaker 00 No one wants to do that.
13:24 Speaker 02 They'll give you tickets.
13:26 Speaker 03 Went to a Chicago Blackhawks game.
13:27 Speaker 02 Oh, yeah?
13:28 Speaker 00 Oh, nice.
13:29 Speaker 03 Yeah, this was probably
13:30 Speaker 00 In Chicago?
13:30 Speaker 03 Four or five years ago in Chicago.
13:32 Speaker 00 Oh, nice.
13:32 Speaker 03 And standing room only in the nosebleeds was 87 bucks.
13:36 Speaker 02 Yeah.
13:37 Speaker 03 It was like, no seat.
13:38 Speaker 02 No seat. You're standing there and it's an obstructed view.
13:40 Speaker 03 Yeah, exactly.
13:42 Speaker 00 So as a longtime Bulls fan, did you get to see the, uh, the Jordan statue while you were in Chicago?
13:47 Speaker 03 No, I didn't.
13:48 Speaker 00 Cause that's on my bucket list.
13:49 Speaker 03 Oh.
13:49 Speaker 02 Yeah.
13:50 Speaker 03 But being in finance, I got to see that, uh, bean.
13:53 Speaker 00 Very cool.
13:54 Speaker 02 Oh, yeah.
13:55 Speaker 03 Giant bean.
13:55 Speaker 02 The giant bean.
13:56 Speaker 03 Yeah.
13:56 Speaker 02 And I remember actually meeting, uh, Michael Cooper.
14:00 Speaker 00 Oh, nice.
14:00 Speaker 02 When I was a young kid, uh, when I was a young lad, I think I was probably
14:03 Speaker 00 Grew up watching him too.
14:03 Speaker 02 Eight or nine years old and, uh, meeting, uh, Michael Cooper who was
14:07 Speaker 00 I met Nick Van Exel.
14:09 Speaker 02 What?
14:09 Speaker 00 Yes.
14:10 Speaker 02 That's pretty cool.
14:11 Speaker 00 He came to town once with the, uh, the Boys and Girls Club and
14:14 Speaker 02 Yeah.
14:14 Speaker 00 He's a, he's a very cool dude.
14:16 Speaker 02 Yeah, similar situation with, uh, Michael Cooper. He came out and shook hands with a bunch of kids that were playing in the park, you know?
14:23 Speaker 02 The funny thing about him is he drove up in a, a VW bug, but the front seat was removed. He was sitting in the backseat and he was driving.
14:32 Speaker 02 He was that tall. That was hilarious. All right. We're going to take a break. We got a couple more questions and then when we get back, we're going to answer those questions for you.

15:14 Speaker 03 Is he singing it?
15:15 Speaker 02 Screaming it. Wow. Yep.
15:18 Speaker 03 Hey, that was pretty good.
15:19 Speaker 00 That's Caro.
15:20 Speaker 02 That is Caro to a T.
15:25 Speaker 02 Welcome back. I'm your host, Justin, here with Dustin.
15:29 Speaker 03 Yes, sir. Justin, we've got an interesting-
15:32 Speaker 02 The Dustin Show.
15:33 Speaker 03 The Dustin Show. We've got an interesting question here.
15:35 Speaker 02 Sure, hit it.
15:36 Speaker 03 Have you ever heard of voodoo economics-
15:38 Speaker 02 Yes.
15:39 Speaker 03 -in the early 19- Yep. Early 1920s and 30s, when government made gold illegal to have?
15:44 Speaker 02 Yeah.
15:45 Speaker 03 Yeah. Just been reading about how the economy was started in the old days and almost didn't believe it, but figured the money guys would get a kick out of the term. Love the show, been listening for nine years.
15:54 Speaker 02 So I've heard the term voodoo economics in multiple different ways. Yes, I've heard about it from the early 20s and 30s. I've heard it from the 60s, the 50s and 60s. I've heard it from the 90s, 80s. Basically, the term voodoo economics is, in a lot of ways, a political term for the party that is not in power to refer to the other party that's in power, calling their economic policy "smoke and mirrors."
16:28 Speaker 03 Wishful thinking.
16:29 Speaker 02 Wishful thinking.
16:29 Speaker 03 Yeah.
16:30 Speaker 02 "Voodoo economics, they don't- it's all smoke and mirrors, they don't know what they're talking about." You know, that kind of a thing.
16:36 Speaker 03 Yeah.
16:37 Speaker 02 So, I understand what this, you know, question is getting to. Yeah, actually, in the 30s, when Franklin Roosevelt brought us initially off of the gold standard, part of that was to, basically, make gold bullion and gold coins illegal, right? You could not own physical gold, other than, like, heirlooms and jewelry and those types of things. And so they confiscated gold coins and gold- yeah, that was, that was real.
17:17 Speaker 03 And they were throwing that term around.
17:19 Speaker 02 Yeah, at the time, yeah, voodoo economics and you know, uh, fee, that's where they started with the, you know, fiat currency and those types of things, those terms that still exist today.
17:30 Speaker 02 And that was when we initially started the process of, of coming off of the gold standard.
17:38 Speaker 02 And we finalized that process really in 1972, 73 is when we fully removed ourselves off of the gold standard. So yeah, I have heard of the voodoo economics is really interesting. If you, if you really want to get into the history of all of that stuff and you're, uh, you want a cure for insomnia, go right ahead and, and read up on that stuff, but yeah, it's,
17:59 Speaker 03 Well, I was reading a little bit, I guess.
18:01 Speaker 02 It's pretty interesting.
18:02 Speaker 03 There's a little more recent, uh, use, it was used by George H W Bush.
18:07 Speaker 02 Yep.
18:07 Speaker 03 In the eighties to describe Reagan's supply side economics policies.
18:11 Speaker 02 Yep, exactly. Voodoo economics. Yep.
18:14 Speaker 03 Interesting. Did that go, Justin?
18:16 Speaker 02 Voodoo economics. So they did it. That's, it's anything that, uh, you don't agree with is voodoo. Yep.
18:26 Speaker 02 Here's another one that popped in. It says, I enjoyed the segment yesterday about egg prices and it feels like some, how some things during COVID, i.e. toilet paper, were in short supply, causing prices to go up and then, uh, they leveled off and were back in stores, yet the prices stayed the same and called the cost inflation. Uh, yeah, no, no kidding. Uh, do you guys think that we are looking at a new norm for egg prices? Maybe it's time for a family and some of us to get chickens. Yeah. Uh, now that, uh, Kern County has basically made it legal to have chickens pretty much anywhere in the county. Maybe it might worth not be a bad idea. Um, what do you think, Dustin? I have some ideas.
19:04 Speaker 03 I'll tell you the first thing that came to mind is a joke that I heard yesterday.
19:08 Speaker 02 Uh-oh.
19:09 Speaker 03 Why did the chicken cross the road?
19:10 Speaker 02 Uh, I'm gonna, why?
19:13 Speaker 03 Because.
19:16 Speaker 03 It's a dad joke that came from a kid. I know it's bad.
19:19 Speaker 02 Oh, it's bad.
19:22 Speaker 03 But it came to mind.
19:25 Speaker 02 Speaking of bad jokes, we have Tyson Hayes coming in here, local comedian at the bottom of the hour.
19:29 Speaker 03 He'd love to hear that you say that.
19:31 Speaker 02 Oh, man, that was bad. Now, I have, so I have some ideas on that. So, so the, the, the egg prices are, there's, there's other external forces to those egg prices being as high as they are. Obviously, we have a situation with bird flu.
19:47 Speaker 03 Right.
19:47 Speaker 02 And we have a situation where, you know, millions of chickens have had to be euthanized. And that has reduced the supply of eggs. Not just here in the United States, but, you know, elsewhere around the world.
20:03 Speaker 02 Which has reduced the supply by.
20:05 Speaker 03 So, demand is not down, likely.
20:08 Speaker 02 Demand has still been there. Uh, you know, I, I love my steak and eggs in the morning, right? That's kind of a thing.
20:16 Speaker 03 This sounds like real economics, not voodoo economics.
20:18 Speaker 02 This is not voodoo economics. It is definitely. It's not voodoo economics.
20:24 Speaker 02 So, I, I think, you know, as, as we get through this bird flu situation and the chickens come back and we don't.
20:34 Speaker 02 This is a situation where it will, it will level out again, eventually. I don't believe this is going to be the new norm for eggs. Similar situation, it's not going to be like toilet paper or some of those things. Because many of the things that went into toilet paper, there were other supply chain issues beyond just the price of toilet, you have the, the, the wood pulp and the, you know, all of the other things that go into that. With chickens, it's one thing.
21:02 Speaker 03 Yep.
21:02 Speaker 02 It's the chicken, right? The chicken and the feed, right? Well, that stuff is kind of, when you have the chickens back. The eggs come out. That's kind of how that works.
21:13 Speaker 00 That that segment came from, we had Steve Murray on.
21:16 Speaker 02 Yeah.
21:17 Speaker 00 And someone had called in and said, you know, he was wanting to get a chicken coop and do his whole thing. And Steve said, you know, by the time you do all that and you know, you invest in not only keeping the coop clean, it's not like you just get chickens and you get eggs.
21:31 Speaker 02 Yeah.
21:32 Speaker 00 There's a lot of cleaning, you gotta feed them, you gotta, you know, keep everything.
21:35 Speaker 02 Your cost per dozen is probably three times, four times what your cost per dozen right now is.
21:40 Speaker 00 The math and he said, you're really saving about four bucks a month.
21:43 Speaker 02 Yeah.
21:44 Speaker 03 Not worth it.
21:45 Speaker 02 At the end of the day.
21:46 Speaker 00 But if you're looking for a hobby.
21:47 Speaker 02 Yeah, go for it. Our next door neighbors have ducks. I don't know why, but they have ducks. Wake us up at six o'clock in the morning.
21:58 Speaker 03 I saw two parrots that were matching in the trees the other day. I know, I seriously think somebody's pet got out.
22:04 Speaker 02 Oh, man, that's not good. We have another question here. This was an interesting one. So, how do I calculate and compare the math to pay for an expensive repair versus getting rid of a car? For example, a vehicle valued at between, you know, thirty eight hundred and four thousand dollars and a potential transmission replacement that would cost about thirty five hundred dollars. It's a two thousand seven Chevy Acadia with leather, you know, one hundred fifteen thousand miles.
22:36 Speaker 02 If I choose not to repair the vehicle because of its value, how do I get the most money for it while being honest about its condition? Well, yeah.
22:44 Speaker 03 By being honest about it.
22:44 Speaker 02 By being honest, yeah, but being honest about the condition, you're gonna get nothing for it.
22:50 Speaker 03 You know, I actually, that sparks a memory for me. I had a nineteen ninety three Camaro.
22:54 Speaker 02 Yeah.
22:54 Speaker 03 That had this issue with about a hundred thousand miles on it. This was in two thousand three, so it was ten years old or so. And I did just that. I sold it to the mechanic because he said, well, I'll get my labor costs out of it.
23:05 Speaker 02 Yeah.
23:06 Speaker 03 So, a thirty five hundred dollar car at the time, I got, I think maybe fifteen hundred bucks for.
23:11 Speaker 02 Right.
23:12 Speaker 03 So I lost out on the two grand, but I wasn't out the full cost of the four thousand dollar transmission.
23:17 Speaker 02 Right. And my thought on this, and my, my thought is a little bit different. It's,
23:23 Speaker 02 If you were to sell the vehicle and discount based upon the cost, you're basically going to get about 500 bucks out of the vehicle, right? Or do you spend the $3,500, get a new transmission? And eke out another four or five years out of that vehicle?
23:42 Speaker 02 What's the value of that by not having to go out and get another vehicle?
23:46 Speaker 03 Yeah.
23:46 Speaker 02 At $300 or $400 or five, whatever your cost per month for that vehicle would be? That's how I look at it.
23:53 Speaker 03 Yep.
23:54 Speaker 02 Right? The, the cost savings on a cash flow basis of me having to go out and find another vehicle that now I don't have to find because I was able with that $3,500 to get another five years of, of, of use out of that vehicle.
24:07 Speaker 03 That's the hope.
24:08 Speaker 02 That's the hope.
24:09 Speaker 03 Yep.
24:09 Speaker 02 Right?
24:10 Speaker 03 But, and we were talking about this earlier, you, when it's your vehicle, you know the other problems it has going on.
24:16 Speaker 02 Yeah.
24:16 Speaker 03 If you go out and buy another used car.
24:17 Speaker 02 You're buying somebody else's problems.
24:19 Speaker 03 Potentially, yeah.
24:19 Speaker 02 And you have no idea what it is.
24:20 Speaker 03 You don't know what you're getting into.
24:22 Speaker 02 So I'm, I'm actually in the same situation right now. I have a 2007 Toyota Highlander that I'm taking into the shop tomorrow because I'm, I'm base, I'm giving it to my oldest son because he's, you know, it's a family vehicle and, and he, he's moved out and he needs a vehicle. I'm going to wind up putting probably $2,000, $2,500 into this vehicle. It's maybe worth about five or $6,000.
24:46 Speaker 03 Right.
24:47 Speaker 02 But it's a Toyota. It's bulletproof. It's got at least another 100,000 miles in it.
24:50 Speaker 03 Typically.
24:51 Speaker 02 Typically.
24:52 Speaker 03 Mm hmm.
24:52 Speaker 02 Now with him driving it, it might have six miles left in it. I don't know.
24:57 Speaker 03 More than that.
24:58 Speaker 02 But, you know, these are the questions that I have going through my head. It's, hey, if he's able to get another, another six, seven, eight years out of this and he doesn't have to make a car payment.
25:11 Speaker 02 That gets him.
25:13 Speaker 03 Five, six, seven years without driving, right?
25:15 Speaker 02 The driving without, like, you know, we all know that, hey, if you can live without a car payment for that period of time.
25:23 Speaker 03 Right.
25:24 Speaker 02 That's a lot of cost savings, right? So that's my thought. I know he talked about not, you know, wanting to, you know, give it as a charitable donation, doesn't help on the taxes, those types of things. But hey, it makes you feel good in your heart.
25:39 Speaker 02 That's your tax deduction. It makes me feel good in my heart.
25:41 Speaker 00 My first car was a Camaro and it was an older Camaro. I remember Dustin's Camaro.
25:45 Speaker 02 Yep.
25:46 Speaker 00 Uh, mine was the, like, the late eighties.
25:48 Speaker 02 The late eighties version, huh?
25:49 Speaker 00 I don't know how many radiators I bought, but I learned very soon to not buy an older Camaro because every summer I was getting a new radiator. I had a maroon one.
25:59 Speaker 03 Maroon, okay.
26:00 Speaker 00 Yeah, it was, uh, every summer.
26:02 Speaker 02 New radiator.
26:03 Speaker 00 New radiator.
26:04 Speaker 02 Oh my goodness. Hey, we're gonna go, uh, to a break. When we come back, we have Tyson Hayes, local comedian. We're gonna be getting down to business with him. He's a comedian at The Well. He's got a couple of things coming up here in Slow and Fresno. And, uh, we're gonna get down to business with him on the, uh, the business of comedy.
26:21 Speaker 03 Awesome. Bring him in.
26:22 Speaker 00 Are you curious to learn more about how you can be money wise? Check out the Money Wise website at MoneyWiseGuys.com to get more info about what we do and how we can help you.
26:49 Speaker 00 Was that your request?
26:50 Speaker 02 Might have been.
26:51 Speaker 00 Yeah.
26:52 Speaker 02 Might have been.
26:54 Speaker 02 Little bit of Pennywise.
26:57 Speaker 02 I think nineties punk is gonna make a comeback.
27:01 Speaker 00 I sure hope so, cuz, uh, we definitely need it.
27:08 Speaker 03 Good stuff.
27:08 Speaker 02 Absolutely. Welcome back to the Money Wise Show. We got a message that popped in, uh, Steve's, he popped it in there one minute ago. Says here, "I've seen a lot of changes in government funding over the years, but what kind of economic and financial impact could these executive orders, i.e. freezing or redirecting federal funds, have on businesses, state budgets, and regular folks like me? P.S. I have a Highlander and will run it forever."
27:34 Speaker 00 There you go.
27:35 Speaker 02 Those things are bulletproof. They are going to run forever until the wheels literally fall off.
27:41 Speaker 02 You know, that's a great question about the government funding and what the, uh, financial impact is going to be.
27:49 Speaker 02 I don't pretend to know everything about, you know, how the, the government funding works and how these executive orders are going to filter down.
28:01 Speaker 02 But one thing that, uh, I kinda do feel and look at is that
28:08 Speaker 02 Pretty much 95% of federal spending is already codified by law. That it is not discretionary, right? Social Security, Medicare, you know, defense spending, a lot of these things are already passed by Congress and are they're they're they're set in stone, right? As far as what we are required to fund. You're really looking at maybe five to 7% of the federal budget is being discretionary.
28:42 Speaker 02 So at the end of the day, the the executive orders and what Elon Musk is doing and, you know, the things like that, and then the the firing or laying off of employees or asking them to resign or those types of things. The the federal budget,
29:00 Speaker 02 the labor cost of all those employees is a minor, small, miniscule fraction of what the overall federal spending is. So getting rid of those employees, one, you're not really changing the budgetary issue. One, two, you're losing decades and decades and decades of experience. And those are the types of things that might filter down to businesses, state officials, you personally. Those are the types of things that scare me.
29:35 Speaker 03 Very early in in the process here and it'll take some time to see how it all flushes out.
29:40 Speaker 02 Yeah, and we're not a political show, so we're not going to get one way or the other. It doesn't. We'll we'll have to play the wait and see card of which way some of these things go. We're going to be in a wait and see kind of a math mode right now. We just we don't know which way.
30:00 Speaker 03 There's going to be impact, but how much and where?
30:02 Speaker 02 Exactly. Where is it going to impact? We don't know.
30:04 Speaker 03 Yeah.
30:05 Speaker 02 And we also don't know which way Congress is gonna
30:07 Speaker 03 Yep.
30:08 Speaker 02 react because
30:09 Speaker 03 Certain things do have to be voted on.
30:10 Speaker 02 Right. They're looking at it and saying, wait a minute, we appropriated those funds. You're stopping those funds from going out. Wait a minute, you're you're taking too much power, you know, your separation of powers issues, constitutional questions, those types of things are going to be a thing that we have to pay attention to as well. So a lot of questions that we have. Great question.
30:36 Speaker 02 Hopefully, we have better comedy from this individual than what we got from Dustin earlier.
30:41 Speaker 03 Leave it.
30:46 Speaker 02 Alright, Tyson Hayes, local comedian here in Bakersfield.
30:51 Speaker 02 I'd like to know, so he's actually a comedian here, you know, does stand-up at The Well, does weekends at DeRay Davis shows on Friday and Saturday night. You can usually find him onstage, like I said, at The Well. He has other venues that he does out in Slow, San Luis Obispo, and in Fresno. Has a couple of upcoming shows here at Temblor, February 19th, and a couple of other places. We'll talk about that here, but Tyson, welcome to the show.
31:21 Speaker 04 Awesome, happy to be here, guys.
31:22 Speaker 02 That's good to have you. It's awesome to have you. So, you know, we've had Dan Betts on, we've had a couple of other comics on, we love The Well. If you've, you know, anybody listening to my voice, if you haven't been to The Well, make it a point to go out there. We have really, really, really good talent here locally. It's a great venue. It's really, what is it, still the only comedy club here in the Central Valley?
31:49 Speaker 04 Yeah, yeah, it's the only full-time comedy club. I mean, there's gonna be open mics and shows that people put on at bars or barber shops or what have you, but this is a full-time, it's all about comedy.
32:00 Speaker 02 I do like getting comedy shows from a barber shop quartet.
32:05 Speaker 04 That could be interesting.
32:06 Speaker 02 It'd be an interesting comedy show, but it's not a full-time show.
32:09 Speaker 00 Well, speaking of barber shop, before you guys get into it, that Friday and Saturday show is comedian DeRay Davis, and I have one pair of tickets to the Saturday night show. If you want to text into the show right now, 661-396-1000, and you might just be that lucky, that lucky person that wins the pair of tickets this Saturday. No, I'm just gonna randomly pick.
32:33 Speaker 02 You're gonna randomly pick? I'm not gonna give you like the eighth texter?
32:37 Speaker 00 It's not the 90s anymore. They don't have to call in and get the 56th person in the 56 line, but whatever. We got one pair of tickets, because this show will sell out, and back to getting down to business.
32:48 Speaker 02 Yes, absolutely. So Tyson, tell us a little bit about yourself. What, you know...
32:56 Speaker 02 As Dustin said, tell us your life story from the beginning. No, we don't need to know that. You know, it started in Santa Clarita in 1976. No, we don't need to know, but tell us how you got started in comedy. What was it really about your upbringing and stuff that where it was like, hey, this is it. I'm, this is what I want to do. Right?
33:19 Speaker 04 Yeah, you know, it wasn't, how do I say this? So since I can remember, I've always, I've always been the, I guess you could say class clown. They say, right? I've always enjoyed making people laugh and I wasn't such a pest to where the teachers would, you know,
33:35 Speaker 02 So you weren't that guy?
33:36 Speaker 04 I wasn't that guy. You're right. I wasn't, I mean, I disrupted class. I'd get in trouble. I'd get kicked out, you know, but it's, but the teachers always, you know, they, they loved me and I would make them laugh sometimes. And so that's, I kind of felt like I enjoyed making people laugh since I could remember. Just being in a class setting would be all I needed and then a joke, you know, make the, make the room laugh. And I didn't really pick up on stand-up comedy till much later in my life. I kind of fell into it. I went to Timbler on a Wednesday night, just going to have, you know, a drink with friends. And they happened to have an open mic there and ran into one of the comics. Yeah. And they told me about the well and, uh, you know, that was almost three years, that was almost three years ago now.
34:19 Speaker 02 Really? You've only been doing this for like three years?
34:20 Speaker 04 I've only been doing it for three years. I mean, on stage, like as a stand-up, but it's, it's so different from being the funny guy in, in, in class or being at a party, a house party and making everybody laugh and thinking that you could be a comic. And then you go try it and you stand up in front of a bunch of strangers and kind of tap the mic like, okay, I'm going to tell you, it's a different animal. So yeah, there's a learning curve.
34:41 Speaker 02 So go back to Timbler for a second.
34:42 Speaker 04 Yeah.
34:43 Speaker 02 Did you have something prepared or was this, uh, just kind of spontaneous?
34:47 Speaker 04 No, it was, so I didn't do my first stand-up at Timbler. I went there and I was like, oh, that's cool. We have a local comedy scene. This is great. I've seen comedy in, you know, San Diego, LA, San Francisco, like everywhere. And I didn't know that we had a scene and it was, it was relieving to see that there's a group of guys that would like to do, uh, stand-up on Wednesday. Wednesday nights and so I made it a point to go back the next Wednesday and then talk to him again.
35:09 Speaker 02 Uh huh.
35:09 Speaker 04 It was actually shout out Andrew Boydston, been doing it a long time. He told me about the well.
35:13 Speaker 02 Been on here too.
35:14 Speaker 04 Oh yeah, it's nice. Yeah, good friend, good guy. Hilarious. And uh, he told me, you know, all the information about the well. And uh, I went there several times. It was like a date night. You know, it's free comedy, by the way, just shot. You guys should come. It's, it's free. You take your girlfriend there. And uh.
35:30 Speaker 02 What about your wife?
35:31 Speaker 04 Uh, yeah, bring her, but leave the side at home, you know, don't bring both of them. Don't get caught up, you know, cause she might be out with her main, you know? You never know, but uh, uh, it took me, you know, few weeks, several weeks, and then finally, you know, went up and I could probably tell you uh, less than five times that I've missed an open mic.
35:52 Speaker 02 Uh huh.
35:52 Speaker 04 With the exception of the times that Daniel Betts felt like he needed to ban me for several weeks, several months, depending on what it was about at a time. So since then, yeah, I haven't missed anything. I mean, I've, I've, I've canceled many plans to make it to these little open mics and get my five minutes.
36:08 Speaker 03 How do you get banned? Joke about Betts or?
36:10 Speaker 04 I don't know if I can talk about, what is the age level on? No, it was, it wasn't anything.
36:14 Speaker 03 Is it language?
36:14 Speaker 04 Terrible. Yeah.
36:15 Speaker 02 He made some off color jokes about the Navy and, and Betts didn't like it too much.
36:20 Speaker 04 Don't say off color. I didn't say any, listen, I didn't say anything about off color. No. Yeah. It, it was um, just a series of events. Some things happen. Um, I don't even know if I should say, I guess, all right, I'll say it. I uh.
36:35 Speaker 03 This is already funny.
36:36 Speaker 04 I don't know if this is good for, uh, this might be a conversation that we should have of ourselves.
36:41 Speaker 02 When the mics are off.
36:42 Speaker 04 Yeah. I uh, you know, I was kinda new to the scene and maybe I was a little entitled and felt like I deserved uh, an open mic night because I had gone there and, you know, I enjoyed Mind Haze and so I would be the reason why they'd have to refill their kegs often at, at the well. And I just thought, you know, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, you know, show him and I just, you know, you know what a camel pack is, right?
37:04 Speaker 02 Mm hmm.
37:05 Speaker 04 Just brought one of those. So I was, hey, I'm not gonna spend money here tonight. And I thought it was gonna be a thing that Dan and I got to talk about, but we didn't talk about it for a month after, cause I was banned for a month for. I didn't know how detrimental it was to the club, but I thought it was just an easy like silent protest that I could have with him and then discuss it. But yeah, we talked about it a month later and it was all good. Just silly stuff like that.
37:26 Speaker 02 Yeah, water under the bridge.
37:28 Speaker 04 Yeah.
37:28 Speaker 02 Yeah. So you get, you go to Temblor, you fall in love with kind of the scene.
37:34 Speaker 04 Yes.
37:35 Speaker 02 You start going to these open mic nights and you start kind of writing your own material and you start getting your five minutes at a time. And now you're, now you're up to what you're having your own shows, you're doing like 30 minute sets, hour long sets.
37:52 Speaker 04 Yeah, I'll get into that because that was something I wasn't prepared for. I, um, I just assumed it came a lot easier, you know, and I maybe I was just overly confident in, in myself, but I just felt like putting that much time together.
38:06 Speaker 02 Yeah.
38:07 Speaker 04 Wasn't as difficult as it's proven to be. And, you know, putting together tight five minutes is a lot harder than I thought in the beginning. So I, I don't, um, and it's, it's really hard to get that much time to get an opportunity to do 30 minutes. I have not even done a whole 30 minute set yet. That's more of a, a feature and a headliner where I'm messing around like with 15 minutes now.
38:28 Speaker 02 An opener, kind of a situation.
38:29 Speaker 04 Yeah, and open host or middler and, and just to try to, you know, kind of get the crowd ready for, for the real guys, if you will. I'm looking forward to that in the future, but right now I'm enjoying the, the, my position of.
38:41 Speaker 02 The ride a little bit.
38:43 Speaker 04 Absolutely.
38:43 Speaker 02 We're going to take a quick break. We're going to come back here in just a moment. More here with, uh, with Tyson when we come right back.

39:23 Speaker 00 It's his birthday, man.
39:24 Speaker 02 I know.
39:25 Speaker 04 A little different than Pennywise.
39:26 Speaker 02 A little, little different.
39:27 Speaker 00 It's either gonna be this or some more Guns N' Roses, so I'm gonna mix it up.
39:34 Speaker 02 Welcome back to the Money Wise Show. Hey, uh, catch me tomorrow morning on KBAK. I'll be, uh, joined with, uh, I'll be joining Aaron Perlman tomorrow morning. We'll be discussing the Super Bowl.
39:46 Speaker 04 Oh, there you go.
39:47 Speaker 02 Yeah.
39:48 Speaker 00 I'll give you a hundred dollars if you show up with Kiss makeup on.
39:51 Speaker 02 Yeah, that's not gonna happen. Yeah, that's an, that's an easy win for me. That, that'll.
39:57 Speaker 00 That would scare him.
39:58 Speaker 02 That would scare Aaron Perlman. Uh, yeah.
40:00 Speaker 04 A hundred bucks is a hundred bucks.
40:02 Speaker 02 That's, uh, his sensibilities, he wouldn't be able to handle it. No, we're gonna be talking about the finance of the finances of the Super Bowl and talking about gambling and, you know, how much money is spent on the Super Bowl on a...
40:13 Speaker 00 And how much, uh, can the refs, you know, rob us from this year?
40:17 Speaker 02 You know?
40:18 Speaker 00 Talking to Tyson on our, uh, my podcast, he's a, he's a Charger fan.
40:22 Speaker 02 I'm sorry.
40:24 Speaker 04 I appreciate that. Yeah, the first ones to leave playoffs this year. Yeah, it's nice to be there, guys.
40:29 Speaker 00 Yeah, at least you made it.
40:30 Speaker 02 At least you made it, yeah. There is that.
40:32 Speaker 04 I don't know, though. It is kinda sad, you know, the first game of playoffs.
40:36 Speaker 02 Hey, at least you're not the Lions, you know?
40:38 Speaker 04 Oh, yeah.
40:39 Speaker 02 That was a sad one where it's like, dude, you, you, you kill it all season. You're expected to make the Super Bowl. And you lay an egg like that.
40:47 Speaker 04 Rookie.
40:47 Speaker 02 To go back to, uh, Dustin's because, you know, lay an egg like the Lions.
40:54 Speaker 04 Keep bringing it up.
40:55 Speaker 00 I'm gonna save that sound clip, you know that.
40:57 Speaker 04 Oh, man.
40:59 Speaker 02 It's gonna, it's gonna be on the promos.
41:01 Speaker 04 It's gonna haunt me.
41:02 Speaker 02 It's gonna make it into the promos. Um, so, yeah, I'll be with Aaron Perlman tomorrow, talking about the, the finances of, uh, the Super Bowl. You know, how many hot dogs are eaten and chicken wings are eaten, that kinda thing.
41:15 Speaker 02 Tyson?
41:16 Speaker 04 Yes, sir.
41:17 Speaker 02 A little bit more. Tell us, like, so when you're at the well, like you said, you're kinda the, you don't, don't put yourself down. You said earlier, the real guys. I'm, I'm opening for the real guy. No, you're not, you're a real guy. You're there, you're physically there.
41:33 Speaker 02 You will be doing the 30-minute sets, you know, before you know it.
41:40 Speaker 02 To be doing that and doing those 10 to 15 minute sets and you're working your craft, right? You're working on the sets. You know, what is that next step for you? Like you're saying, hey, I want to start doing those 30 minute sets. What is it going to take for you to like, string together those three minute, five minute, 10 minute sets into a cohesive, say 20 minute, 30 minute?
42:07 Speaker 04 Yeah.
42:07 Speaker 02 Kind of a deal.
42:08 Speaker 04 I think it's really just opportunity to do so. Like I just need to, you know, what I, what I meant when I said that's for the, the real guys, the comics, right? So you really have to earn your stripes to become a comedian. Like it almost takes a decade before you can be considered to be a real comic. You need to put so much time into it and just be comfortable on stage and know how to tell a story to the audience and keep them engaged and get them to laugh too. There's a lot of things you have to do. It's your job up there. And so I think with opportunities like the shows that Dan puts on and allows some of his local guys to get thrown up on stage and then Timbler has a lot of opportunity. Uh, you know, going down, going out of town to San Diego. Uh, there's, there's a lot of comedy clubs in San Diego and LA, of
42:52 Speaker 04 course, and I've hit some of them up. Some of the, the larger, you know, Comedy Store, I was there a couple of Mondays ago and got lucky to do a set.
42:58 Speaker 02 That's my bucket list to see them.
42:59 Speaker 04 Man, it was amazing. It was amazing, Stephen. Trust me. It was.
43:03 Speaker 02 And you did a, you did a recent show at Strummer's too, right?
43:06 Speaker 04 Not Strummer's. No, not Strummer. That's one that's a, it's on, it's on the list. You know, I've, I've been in contact with the Fresno guys and there's ways to do it. See, that's part of, you gotta go to the city and you gotta get some times in to, you know, you gotta get some open mic time in and then they'll.
43:19 Speaker 02 It's not like the old school where you had to record yourself and send, you know, the VHS out to everybody. The Betamax.
43:25 Speaker 04 Yeah, yeah. You still would like, you know, if you want to get some time somewhere and they haven't seen you, send clips. Don't get me wrong. That's still, you know, the grassroots way to do it. But nowadays, it also has to do with, I'm learning this, that the social media has to, you know, you have to have a lot of followers to get looks at different places. So there's that whole thing and I'm not really good at self promoting. You know, it's not, it feels a little gross. I like, I just want to try to be funny to people when they're in front of me.
43:49 Speaker 02 But then you, yeah, you have a certain humility, kind of that streak of humility, right? That you don't want to be that self promoter. But in, in the entertainment industry, you kind of have to be, right? That's kind of the whole point. Have you had to deal with hecklers?
44:02 Speaker 04 Uh, yeah, you know, absolutely. You, there's, you know. Some nights can be wild, you know, there's, you know, when you mix a bar.
44:10 Speaker 02 You get the alcohol in some people, it's flowing, they get a little bit mouthy.
44:14 Speaker 04 Yep, right. You gotta, you have to gently or firmly, it's up to you could, you could do it however you'd like. But you gotta make sure that the rest of the audience is on your side when you're doing it.
44:24 Speaker 00 Right.
44:25 Speaker 04 Not too much, not too deep of cuts, you know, but just enough to let him know, stop talking.
44:30 Speaker 02 Yeah, calm down. Yeah, there's other people here, not just you.
44:33 Speaker 04 Right, right. It's not about you right now.
