Hey everybody, welcome to another episode of Red, White, and Green. This is financial advice for people who love America and more importantly love capitalism. Every week on this show, we bring you news you can use. We're going to teach all kinds of great stuff in this segment we call they didn't teach

you this. This week it's going to be about Trump accounts. You're going to hear from a great entrepreneur, Jenny Doyle, on the show today. You're going to learn about the word Moxy. And by the way, holler at my Walmart shopper, Steve, because I'm going to give you the double blue light special today like

you've never seen before at Walmart. Of course, every week I'm joined with my co-host, Southside Steven Rickman. >> Yes, I knew about the blue light specials at Kmart, but I did not know you got a double blue at Walmart.

>> Sometimes you say the password is blue plate special. >> You know what? I always say the blue plane is landed. Either way, I dig it. >> Well, we got a great show here, Steve.

And I love starting us off every week with news you can use. And what better to talk about this week. I was, by the way, I was going to talk a little bit about Elon, but I recommend for all of our subscribers, check out the Fox article I put out this week on Elon. It was the number one op-ed article this

past Monday. Congratulations. thousands of comments that came in because I called Elon Musk reckless and you're going to have to find out why. You're going to have to find out why.

>> I thought we loved him. So, we're not going to go into said and love him. Okay. >> He did something very reckless, which our viewers can take a look at. But what would a week be like, Steve, if we didn't talk about the Super Bowl?

>> Well, it is that week. >> It it is that week. And what I wanted to talk about is, you know, because betting is basically legal now in roughly 40 states, which just means eventually betting is going to be legal in every state but Georgia. You know, who knows when

>> we be the last, but we got the best strip clubs in the world. Why? I don't know. >> Right. And you think if we if we did have that, why wouldn't we just have a sports betting book there or something like that?

>> Strip club. Everything else is good. I mean, legalize everything. But for some reason, we hold back on marijuana and betting. >> What's changed betting? When you think about things like DraftKings and FanDuel and all these things that are out there aren't just betting games. So yeah,

Steve, we could talk about, okay, here's the line on the game and are you picking the Seahawks or the Pats or whatever it may be, but the two words, Steve, proposition betting have literally changed the betting world.

>> Okay. >> And here's why. Yeah, tell me why. >> Here's why. >> Okay. You don't need to know uh about blitzes or a nickel defense or anything like that to make a decision in this week's Super Bowl about whether the coin toss is going to be heads or is it going

to be tails because yes, Steve, that is one of the bets this week is the coin toss. >> I love those bets. I've done them over the years. They're fun.

>> What do you What are you Are you a heads guy or a tails guy? >> I'm I'm a tail. I'm always tails. I don't go with heads. >> You always bet tails.

>> Always tails. So now you know if we have to coin flip for something. >> But see, they got crazy bets. I just want to get your take on three of these coming up this week. Let me give you the first one.

>> The national anthem is being uh sung this weekend by Charlie Puth. >> Puth. I don't I'm not familiar. >> I I wouldn't be surprised about that. I'm not that familiar with him either, but apparently a lot of people love Charlie Puth.

>> Good old Puth. >> And the overunder on this is 120 and a half seconds. Whoa. which really if you think about it is 2 minutes and a half second.

>> Yeah. The song if I'm correct should be sung if sung properly the way it was written I think you supposed to do it in like about a minute 45 minute 50 >> right throw in some >> that's what I'm saying is he going to get on there and like you know there's going to be pregnant pauses in there is

he going to enunciate some of the words longer >> and the flag was still there. So, what do you take on it? You take the overunder on 120 and a half seconds.

>> First off, this guy's on it. He knows about the bet. Is he betting on himself? I wonder. I would go long. >> You think he rigged the anthem? Possibly.

>> He rigged He's going to rig the anthem. >> He's not betting, but his best friend or his mom or his cousin or somebody's betting for him and he's like, "Oh, I'm going long. Bet the farm." >> But this is why it's so much fun because you're like, "Hey, the game ain't even started. I got a hundred bucks right now

on the national anthem." And then you get it on the coin toss game still hasn't started. Then they have things like the coach come in. Who will they show first? Which coach will they show first?

>> Well, last year they had the whole Taylor Swift thing and it was the overunder and how many times you'd see Taylor Swift. Good lord. >> I was in the camp of who cares. But you know it in general betting on it.

>> Yeah. Not betting on it. Now let me give you a real game one that's very very interesting in here >> cuz normally with wide receivers and tight ends normally the numbers of their jerseys are in the 80s.

>> Yes. >> Okay. But over time, a lot of these wide receivers have now picked lower numbers. Like Stefon Diggs, who's playing this week, has a number eight. Cooper Cup has a number 10. So there's actually six players that can actually score a touchdown where their jersey number is

under 11. So the bet is basically if any of the six players whose jersey numbers are under 10 and a half, so meaning 10, 8, three, they score first, you got great odds on that. There are actually great betting odds on this as to whether you win and bet on those six players.

That's a hell of a proposition bet. >> That is. I've never even heard of that one. That's great. I always get hung up on the Gatorade. You know, what color is it going to be?

>> This is the one you're talking about, which we really we really need to get at cuz I want your expert Steve Rickman opinion here. Only Southside will know on this because Steve, here's what's crazy about this. The odds makers in Las Vegas have said >> that orange

>> and lemon lime, >> the green color or whatever you want to call it, those are the two colors that are most likely to get poured on the winning coach. The odds on orange, $215 to $100. Meaning, if you at home bet $100 and they pour orange, you make 215.

>> If it's lemon lime, the original original Gatorade, $100, $275. Now, let me give you the long shot darkhorse bet. >> All right. >> No Gatorade. No Gatorade poured on the coach. $5,000 to $100. Meaning you bet a h 100red bucks, you win 5,000. So, here's you at

the end of the game. >> It's a tradition. I don't know that it would not happen, but go ahead. >> Your team won or lost. Who gives a Doesn't matter. You're thinking, damn, do not pour Gatorade on the coach.

>> DON'T DO IT. >> DON'T DO IT. He wants to do interviews. He doesn't want for me. Five grand for me. >> I love it. I would go red. I think red is >> Oh, what was red? Red.

>> Red's 11, 1100 to $100. >> Here's why. The Patriots, you think blue automatically. They're red, white, and blue team. >> Wait, I like this logic. Get this going here.

>> So, you look at the team's colors. And for them on their bench, if they win, I think it would be red because they're in on it, too. And they're thinking, everybody's going to think it's going to be blue cuz most of their coloring is blue. So, you go with the red for them.

Uh, if the Seahawks win, I'm thinking blue or purple. >> Blue or purple? Well, you heard it here on this show. Red, white, and green. That Steve Rickman is giving you his opinion. We'll find out next week.

>> We'll see where that goes. >> I'm going for lime or green. I think the Seahawks are going to win, but the Pats will cover the spread. And you're going to have lemon lime green at 275 to $100.

>> I like purple because I don't think anybody's ever done it. >> So, the second piece in here is that you and I are always about also saving people money. And there are a lot of people that are going to throw Super Bowl parties, but I don't think people have been paid attention to things that

are more affordable because what we hear every day is this word affordability. Everything's expensive and affordable, which actually when it comes to Super Bowl stuff is not necessarily true. One of the big ones that's down in price are chicken wings.

>> I didn't know that. I'm not a chicken wing e. If >> you're not a drum set, >> I had to say it because now you're going to cut my man card. Everybody wants to cut a corner because I don't do chicken wings. Every guy does. And I don't like beer either. So, I don't do either of

those. So, if I come to your party, I need bourbon and some chips. >> You moved a notch down the man pole because of no drumsticks and no beer. >> Supposedly, men eat those. They're like carnivores. I can't I don't like it like that, but that's just me.

>> The other thing that's down big this year from a year ago is avocados. >> In many cases, nationally, they're down a few percent, but in many cases, they're down 10%. And you know, avocados became all the rage the last 5 years.

But if you're thinking about throwing sort of a fiesta, you know, between chips, the guacamole, >> got to have some guacamole. >> That's all down because tortilla chips are actually slightly down as well.

>> Good. That's me. Give me some chips. >> My point is, if you're going for this, Steve, my general idea is besides doing the whole potluck thing, getting people to bring stuff, etc., go Mexican this year. I think that's the theme that will save you more money this year between guac salsa is actually down tortilla

chips and stuff like that that's going to put a few extra bucks in your pocket >> and I'm not knocking Mexicans cuz I'm telling you right now I think it's the most affordable food there is the quickest the easiest to make the simplest it makes a lot of sense >> and great now the big one that's up that

I would avoid this year beef >> if you're not paying attention in the news and talk about capitalism beef prices are through the roof this is why when you go to the local steakhouse and you see filetmenan at like $85 for a 12 ounce uh fillet. It's unreal. Beef is up 16% and shrimp is up 8%. So, what you

want to avoid, don't do shrimp on the barbie. No, no, no beef beef at the grill. >> Shrimp on the bar. >> Yeah. Yeah, I had to. Sorry.

>> You play Super Bowl squares, by the way. >> Yes, I always do. Those are fun. I used to do it in the corporate sector because there's always somebody that's going to do that, but there's always a family member that wants to do it or somebody that's throwing a party whether you're at it or not. I get in on it.

>> And you got a prediction on the final score? Not really. I Here's Well, I will tell you it's 45 and a half. Uh, I think it's going to be a higher scoring game than they think. So, I would probably go 51.

>> 51. All right. I like that. Like a like a 28 24 kind of game somewhere on there. I think there's a 4 and a half. You know, basically the Seahawks are favored.

>> Yeah. >> Um, and I do think that the offense is the offense is better with the Seahawks or as good, but that defense is tough. So, look, I promise you on this, look for them to dump off to running backs and to uh to tight ends as far as the Patriots because there's no way to throw

into that second secondary with Seahawks without interceptions. So, I think if these guys can run, it's going to be a higher scoring game than they think, but not too high. It's going to be in the 50s. I think low 50s.

>> There you go. Tony Romo and Jim Nance, you have nothing on Southside. Steve and myself, we know we know how to call these games. And uh according to Steve, bet red. Bet red right now.

>> Bet red. >> Bet your whole Roth IRA on red if you can for the the Gatorade. >> Go red. >> All right. Well, that's some news you can use. Thought we'd have some fun this week given that it's Super Bowl week.

Every week I like to teach you something on this show. And I have to say, Steve, the last week or two, I've been hearing this more and more. So, I thought it was time that we talk about this very topic on they didn't teach you this. And this week it's all about what the heck is a Trump account.

>> I I I don't know. I I honest to God don't know. >> Yeah. Well, let's be honest. Um Trump has had a history in his whole life and I don't know why people are surprised that he did this under the one big beautiful bill act. Okay. Of trying to put his name on everything. There was

Trump Air. There have been Trump stakes. There's Trump water. There's Trump golf course >> Towers. Don't forget Trump Towers. >> Trump Towers. you know, a few that made it and some that didn't make it, right?

I lived in New Jersey. The Taj Mahal didn't make it for Trump there in Atlantic City. But that man, I don't know why any of you are surprised. Stop even thinking about it. He likes to put his name on everything.

>> He has Trump watches and tennis shoes. >> He's now on the Kennedy Center. It's now the Trump Kennedy Center. You hear that? >> That was that was a rough one for me. >> I know that one, but I was wondering when he was doing >> I'm not getting political here, but it's like been the Kennedy Center forever.

Now it's a Trump and Kennedy Center. I will be surprised in like a year if they go, can you just take down that Kennedy and it would just be the Trump? >> Oh, you can't perform. No, you can't do that.

>> He's not going to do that. So, this is actually important for your wallet though because whatever you think about politics, it may not matter. But this year is a big change. And under the big beautiful bill act or not so beautiful bill, some people say they go on both sides of this. Every child, every child

with a valid social security number, okay, who's under the age of 18, this is the first thing that you need to know. >> Mhm. >> Okay, everyone, if there is a new baby that is born and they were born from January 1 of last year, this is important. It's not January 1 of 2026,

>> okay? >> January 1 of 2025. So, it's like here's the first thing you have to think about. Do we have a kid? >> No. I'm fixed. I am so fixed. So, and this actually goes till December 31st of 2028. So, it's basically four years, although a lot of people are going to be

thinking it's just 2026, and it's not. You are going to get a $1,000 federal deposit from the US government that's going to go into your child's account.

>> You mean like a a 529, an account for college or whatever? As long as you have a social security. >> What's funny is we have 11 ways that you can save for college, including the 529.

Trump just added this 11th one here, which is just why? Let's start at the beginning. He wanted his name on an account. Um, and now he's got it. But the thing of it is, you're getting a free,000 from the government just because you had a baby.

>> Wow. >> Now, that $1,000 can be invested immediately. So, it's going to be incumbent upon you to set up the account. And you could do it with a financial advisor. You could do it at a brokerage house. You can do it wherever you want. And what's really interesting

is these accounts is that you are going to be the guardian of your child's accounts until the child turns the age of 18 at which point they gain control. >> And are you allowed to keep depositing in set account or you just leave a thousand and do something?

>> Here's the beauty about this thing. Number one, first of all, I recommend everybody talk to your employer. And here's what I mean about that. If you have a 401k, a lot of times in 401ks, your company will give you something called a match. people call free money, right? Steve puts in 4% of his paycheck

and your employer might put in 3% of your paycheck. It's free money. >> Well, employers can also contribute to this account. >> Heck, join in, help out.

>> Well, if you work at a small company, they're probably not even going to know. And most people don't work for the Coca-Cas or the Amazons. They're working for little employers, >> the big companies.

>> So, what what could it mean to an employer? Because here's the beauty about this. I want you, this is what makes this thing really good. Actually, I'm your employer and I agree that I'll put 250 bucks in that account, which honestly for most businesses means nothing. If you own a business, get

smart about here. You want employee retention. Think about the cost of what it cost you to lose one employee in your company. And then you say, "Hey, by the way, with the Trump accounts going on in here, if you have a child that's born, Joe so and so company, we're going to put in 250 bucks, 500 bucks into your

kids' account, which mostly will go for college education." >> Smart already. You're building it and and you're making people loyal to you. >> Let me tell you what's even smarter, okay? The company gets to t tax deduct that contribution. So that $500 comes off. Uh meaning it's not really going to

cost you 500. Probably cost you more like 300. And it's not taxable to the employee. Generally, if you get a fringe benefit from your employer, >> yeah, it gets taxed.

>> I can deduct it, but the IRS says you can't get both. Meaning, if I deduct it, it's taxable to you. >> I didn't know bonuses and radio were taxed. I'm like, you're doing what to big time. They take out the most tax out of those bonuses.

>> Oh, yeah. So, I'm encouraging all the small businesses out there and people that work at small businesses, talk to your employer. If they're a large one, talk to them because they get a deduction and you don't get taxed. And the idea behind this was for the government to incent employers where

they can if they may not be able to afford it to just put a little bit of money into these accounts. Now, like the 529, Steve, all these dollars compound on a tax deferred basis.

>> Okay? Which is really great. Think about it. So, you're not like your 401k, you're not paying any tax on this money. >> I love that. >> Um at all. And then um the most you can put in in a given year is $5,000.

>> All right. So, there's a limit on it. That's fine. >> There's a limit, but it's five grand. >> Yeah. >> So, Trump puts in a,000. Call the government, which you might as well call it Trump. Uh $1,000. Your employer, let's say they put in $500, you or your

grandparents, whoever it is, can still fund that account another $3,500. And then the next year you start over. You go five again. >> And then the next year you start over again. So I love it.

>> So there's more to this by the way. And if you hit the red, white, and green website and you email us, I'll get you more information about it. It's complex because when the child turns kind of that age of majority, if you will, these things can be turned into an IRA. They can be used for college. There's a lot

of nuances to it. But >> tech tech school if your boy ain't exactly scholastic. Let me tell you what, that'd be great. Those are great jobs.

>> Yeah. And I joke, by the way, most of my friends are hardworking people, plumbers, heating and air guys. I get that. But boy, trade school is a thing. Now, >> what I did want to tell you, if you look in the news, by the way, is there's a lot of wealthy people uh musicians like

Cardi B and you have uh billionaires like Michael Dell who have have basically said, "We will fund um thousands and thousands of accounts philanthropically. We want to make a donation to fund accounts for people to get them started on this. So, uh, I would just keep your eye out. You could

Google this up or look it up and see if you could be the one of the ones that can qualify or figure out how you qualify. >> But you got to have a kid between now and 20 Well, no, between January 1st of 2025 all the way to 28.

>> Yeah, you got plenty of time. It takes nine months if you no one remembers. And you got plenty of time. Like, if you get going and busy now in the bedroom, it'd be a,000 bucks to you, maybe even before the end of the year. It's red, white, and green. Breaking down the birds and the bees for you. I go get fixed,

unfixed, surprise the wife, have a baby, and then I'll get some extra. >> And this is why, you know, I would say that if you're thinking about this whole thing, make what? I don't know what happens to the surrogate parents yet.

The people, you know, the people that have like a hundred kids. >> I've got a cousin that carried a kid to somebody. I wonder who gets that money. But you have to admit that's helping. I mean, that's a good thing. So, it's great. Let me give you a final piece of this, folks, which is that the one

thing, cuz you may say, "Well, I had a kid last year. I didn't see the money." Trump intentionally did this, Steve, and this is the most classic part of this bill, and this is why I read them all, and why we're experts at people that love money and love getting great financial advice, who love this country.

Guess when this money is going to get funded in all the accounts, >> right when he leaves office? >> No. No. It's going to get funded on July 4th, 2026.

So the money will get released >> right after the country hits its 250th year. >> That's huge. >> Can you imagine? He's going to be in a speech somewhere. Love it. The military.

Uh, you know, big money. Have you seen my watches? Have you seen my shoes? >> And then it drops on that day, which is which is incredible.

>> You get a free red watch when you sign up for one of these accounts. I >> think so. I've heard the commercials. I can't I mean I I loved my president, but I don't know if I could wear that. Yeah.

But I always love I love America, so I love whoever's in charge. Hoping they're doing the right thing. >> Wait a minute. It does say here at the bottom, you do also get a free Melania poster. So that's, you know, >> I mean, >> yeah. Is it laminated?

>> All right, folks. Uh hopefully that helps you understand a little bit more about Trump accounts. Please dig into this. You know, this is financial advice or people love America, love capitalism.

When you see all these bills and acts that pass, you don't always realize how does this affect me, my family, and my wallet. But this is you have to pay attention. These little $250 here, $500 here. That's how people build their wealth. It doesn't necessarily happen by winning the lottery.

>> What if somebody said, "I don't have to pay attention because I subscribe to the Red, White, and Green Show." >> That they should cuz for years, you tell me everything. You pay attention. As long as there's somebody you can watch or listen to that's going to inform you, if you miss it, you've got you got a

self. >> All right, everybody. And that was this episode's if they didn't teach you this. You wanted to know about Trump accounts. We've been asking about that and that's what we just taught you. So maybe you two will have a child this year and get some free money from the government.

Wouldn't that be nice? Yeah, >> I love free money. >> I don't know if that would be nice. I don't think I want that. >> You you you there is no free money from the government. Let's just talk about >> the baby. I'll take the free government

money. I don't know. >> I'm a man and I now know I can have children. So, I'm going to have babies and not live on my own and get 25 grand a kid and just that's how I'll do.

>> I might have solved your problem today if you would just go to said certain bank and you could have be a surrogate and have lots of kids. It'd be $1,000 a kid into these Trump accounts. Wow. It would grow and you can take the Trump accounts for Steve's retirement.

>> My retirement. >> That'd be a plan. >> I'm a daddy mama. No, that's all in fun. And uh right now Ted, I just want to introduce to you as we go into the green room. We always have a guest on. And basically the first question that we like to ask just to put you on your

heels and she's wearing them. >> It's Jenny Doyle. Uh not just a guest, a friend, but also Jenny Doyle. How'd you get rich? >> I'm I'm not rich. I give it all away.

You know that. How did I get the ability to give it all away? which I I 100% believe as you as you develop and you grow and you have money come and go, you look at money, I do at least like energy. I look at it at something that I can use to do good in the world. I think once you've had that safety factor where

you're not worried about >> Sure. >> feeding your kids, you know, you need a new pair of shoes when your shoes blow out, whatever the basics, right? Paying your car payment. Once you get past the the survival mode and you get into business mode and then you look at the

world around you retrospectively, I think if you can look at money simply as energy, it changes your entire concept on it. So for me, I'm not rich. I guess if I if I ever get a little extra, what you want to call that, that's fine. I look at it as something that I can do good with.

>> She's rich. Uh but just >> she's rich. Uh, no. But here's here's also the question, and Ted and I love taking somebody in the green room, because what we're trying to do is show you how to be a capitalist. That's why we're all about red and white. That's

America. We love our country. Only in this country can you do what we're trying to teach you and what we're doing. And the green, well, that's money. You got to love money. And I think we got the greatest logo in the world. Uh, for us, talking to people like you, Ted and I both are like,

there's a starting point. Mhm. >> There's a starting point with anybody. So for you, we want to help people figure that out. Was there a time for you? When did you know you were an entrepreneur?

>> You want the raw honest answer? I My whole life like all my friends dads when they were little would hit on me and then every boss that I had would hit on me and I just kind of got exhausted of men hitting on me and I said, you know what, I'm going to run this on my own.

I'm going to figure this out. That's the honest reason is one of the reasons is that I did not like having bosses and that was >> quick live. But I also have like a three.

>> Jenny's drinking white claw and I'm having bourbon. I think it's time for a second. >> Oh my god. Even like restaurants like push me in the freaking freezer, bro.

Get out of here. Now you wouldn't get >> when I was 12 and everybody was hitting. I mean, when did this start? Relatives. Everybody loves >> I remember once I worked at one restaurant and this one guy and I we were eating uh cheesecake, pumpkin cheesecake and like the the cold locker

and he got fired for it. And then the the manager liked me and he made me stand on the bar and sing I'm a little teapot in front of everybody and I didn't get fired. Just stuff like that.

Whatever. It's funny. Life is funny. >> You know, when we're in the green room with somebody, the one thing you said, and you said this on on one of the shows I'm on, and Jenny was joking, and she said it to me personally, um, because I've known her since the Buckhead days, which is a the bar area in Atlanta, and

you were quite the bartender, and all the Atlanta Braves wanted to date you. Um, you know, and I don't know who you date, none of my business. >> None of them. I didn't want to date professional athletes because I knew them all. So, and they're gone 10 months out of the year, so they

only have two months off. So, if you're talking about baseball, then you really just have a husband for two months and you're kind of worried about him the other 10 months. And like I >> worried about him for 10 months. I've been on the road with balls on the road all day.

>> I was a girlfriend. I saw stuff that went down. I was like, not girlfriend like that girlfriend division space between. >> But you know what she said, Ted? And and I think this is really good for red, white, and green. She said to me, "Making money is easy. I don't have a

problem making money." She goes, "But doing something that means something to me is hard." And Jenny started with a hot dog stand up in Athens, University of Georgia. And you're like, I need extra income. She borrows her boyfriend's truck. She goes and picks up a hot dog machine. She cleans it up and

does it. And how much money did you average a year at UG, not even having to work it? >> Well, had it kept going, it made 81,000 a year. So, >> wow. And a hot dog. Insane. That's what I'm talking about. This is a side hustle.

>> So, this is business. All right. So, there's 11 spots at that time in Athens that you could have a street vendor location. like kids going back to dorms and >> taco man, whatever, right? But the places that people would go late night, like the girl back then, they would buy

those locations and not put anything on them because they wanted everybody at their place. So, you can buy it and hold it and do nothing with it. Well, my ex-boyfriend, he started Classic City Saloon, and when he sold it, because I had had a guy work a grill for bike race, Twilight Race, and he made a grand

I made a grand just having a guy make hamburgers and hot dogs in one bike race. So I'm like, "Wow, if I did this every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, what's up?" So I made Doug, not made him. We talked about it and he did it.

Made that sounds awful. Like, >> yeah, >> do it. Hot dog stand. >> But when he sold to when he sold his bar, he wrote in there that I could have a hot dog stand out front. So then I took Doug's F-150. I bought a hot dog stand on eBay and I went to Savannah and

picked it up on the F-150 and brought it back. Whatever. Then I had girls working with like crop tops of like a dachshim barking at a hot dog. >> Stuff like that. Yeah. And then this is the best part of the story. This is the worst and the best. So anyway, it did great, made money, all that. Um, and

then somebody turned up the propane. So I went to light the hot dog stand and it blew a fireball at me and I had to take the ambulance to the hospital. Yes. And so but then the people in the ambulance were like, "Dude, you did the right thing." I'm like, "What? I did the right thing?" They're like, "Yeah, when when

fire comes at you, you either go and then you would intake it into your internals or you go like mother And so I thank God. And so all >> So when you light your grills, another message.

>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Totally. But I had no eyebrows, no eyelashes. All my hair was gone. And you need your freaking eyelashes because y'all, everything got in my eyes for like weeks until those things grew up.

>> Is there something you could say to anybody out there that's thinking about starting a business or thinking about chasing a side gig that could turn into the gig, you know, your best advice to that individual watching right now? I think the best advice for anyone because I don't think we only have one life

which is a whole another story but you have this the one life you're in right now and during this one life you never want to get to the end and look back and have regrets and I think the two regrets people have is not spending enough time with their children as well as not going after their dreams and so if you have a

dream you you might as well burn yourself out on it and know it didn't work than to just wonder one day because you never want to be that guy the kind of washed up could a shoulda would have like that's gross you're going not like yourself. So figure it out. Get it done.

If you don't have a plan, find somebody to inspire you and make a plan with and figure it out. And whatever industry you're in, find the white space. Whatever that missing spaces in that niche.

>> Yeah. >> Hit that hard. >> And and just the mention the name. We don't have to go into it. You owned a bar. I own Southside Steves, which was the Smoking the Bandit theme bar. Your bar.

>> I didn't mean to own a bar. I meant to own a coffee shop. I paint. And I sold my paintings at this coffee shop in my head. But then I met with Blue Sky Coffee owner in Athens and he was like, "I don't make any money." I'm like, "Well, I already rented the place." So, and then I knew how to run a

bar because Doug drank a lot and so I ran his bar sometimes for him. So, um, so I just turned it into a bar and it was awesome. It was amazing. I didn't sell my paintings. They got stolen.

People stole them and went out the back door with them. >> On the rocks. >> My gay friends were like, "Can you open up on the rocks with the twist?" I'm like, "Guys, no. We're not opening up on the rocks with the twist." But it was called On the Rocks. And um it was

great. It was fun. My liver is glad it's over. >> Your liver and mine too. Owning a borrow will do that. But it's in the green room on the red, white, and green show. Our guest today has been Jenny Doyle of Jenny Doyle Realy, a name she wishes she could change, but she can't because her

team loves her. How many girls working for you? >> With me, not for me. Uh we have it goes along with what I said earlier. There's I guess on the full team eight of us um or nine with social media, but there's seven of us like in-house that meet every Monday.

>> She built it and she did it because she followed her own direction, what was written in the sky and uh and you didn't listen to anybody else. Congratulations and I'm glad to see what you do with your money. Thanks for being our guest today.

>> Thank you for having me. Good to meet Ted. >> That leads us into our final uh segment today and I look for these hacks. Um, you know, I don't know if all of you caught Southside Steve's uh great video on the Chick-fil-A where he proved out you thought a couple people in the chat

room basically were denying that they could save a dollar on our Chick-fil-A hack. >> I did it right in front of your eyes. >> I saw you in Israel there on that video and and Israel gave you a Yeah, come on.

>> He did. >> He did look at you kind of strange when you asked the second question about the lettuce. >> Yeah.

>> And he said, "How much? How much for the lettuce?" Well, >> and I can't believe it was 20 cents. I think you thought in the hack it was 10 cents. It's gone up.

>> Yeah, it's gone up 40 cents now. It did remind me of the movie, Steve. You'll appreciate this and a lot of our a lot of our listeners or fans won't, which is I'm going to get you, sucker, which is a great movie. And Chris Rock is in there and he doesn't have enough money and he says, "How much for a rack of ribs?" You

know, and he says like, he says, "The ribs is $9.99." He's like, "$9.99?" Okay. How much for a rib? He just had >> one rib. He looks for one rib. >> I wish I would have ordered pickles. I may go back for the heck of it and find out what because they're known for their two pickles. What do those cost? I don't

know. But you prove it right. And you've got a couple of others that will be coming up. You'll see them on the show or as an extra. Uh the Starbucks as well as the Home Depot. And you've got one for me.

>> Got it today, Steve. And this is how to get the green here. Uh which is what we're doing right here in our money ax. And it's uh it's time to get your wallet full. I call it Wallet Mart, but at Walmart. At Walmart. Uh, and I'm going to tell you >> first and foremost, one of the ways that

I got wealthy in here wasn't just doing businesses, but I got smart about how I timed my purchases, right? >> Wow. >> And if you think about it, when it's summer, you want to be making winter purchases. And when it's winter, you want to be making summer purchases. But

we are, we don't do it that way as Americans. We're here and now, and we're like, gosh, it's cold and it snows. Now I got to get a shovel. Now I got to get a snowblower.

>> Guess what? They are priced high >> always. They're always they're always now Walmart is the ultimate company around this because they run predictable clearance events every single year. So when you think about things like holiday and Christmas time, as soon as you get to about mid December, but specifically

that week right after Christmas going into about mid January, things like um wrapping paper, bows, tissue paper, uh bags, you know, I I know I know it's hard because people forget and then all of a sudden it becomes December and they spend top dollar at Papyrus paying $9 for a damn card. It's so stupid. doesn't

make any sense. You want to go right after that and load it up, stick it up in your attic or put it away somewhere because next year it's going to be the same same damn paper.

>> It's always the same. Yeah. And why not get it right after the season and buy yourself one of those box? I love those little storage boxes. I put all kinds of stuff in those.

>> Has anyone ever said to you, Steve, said, "Do did you see the latest wrapping paper that came out?" It's I mean, I've never seen wrapping paper like this.

>> Crap. This is so 2027. I said nobody ever ever. >> Nobody. Now, I will tell people this is a splurge. Has nothing to do with Walmart, but there are a lot of companies now that you can put your face on the wrapping paper. And what I had to do the last couple Christmases because

>> for all you narcissists, no. Well, I wouldn't call myself a narcissist, but I did feel like I wanted to inflict some additional pain on my family. So, I hide my gifts and I come out with special pictures on all the wrapping paper for them. And they all look at me like, "You suck, man. You suck. Why do you got to

have yourself on the wrapping paper?" And I go, "Hey, I didn't just put myself on the wrapping paper. Check out the gift tag." >> You got a picture of me as well.

>> You could put people's own pictures on, but you want to rip your face. It's up to you >> for you. This is my treat for you. I'm going to stay in the show tonight. Okay.

>> I'm going to buy you whatever Southside Steve wrapping paper. The only thing I'm going to ask you is you must wrap all your gifts for the kids, for your wife, especially for your in-laws.

>> Oh, definitely. And get them all with just your face on it. >> Done. I totally commit to that. Especially the in-laws. >> I could even get a little one of those little things about Yeah. Come on. Yeah.

Come on. I could get it right there like >> I love I love that like a cartoon. >> Now, for those of you that have kids and toys, twice a year, I have gone in here and bought toys this way before that they generally do it. The cycles tend to be mid December and mid June. Okay.

Where most toys are marked down somewhere between 50 to 90% off. >> Why? Why is that? Just >> that's just a cycle Walmart because it's when they're buying cycle happens.

>> Okay. >> So, the buying cycle happens. It's like a lot like clothes. Out with the old, in with the new. And then patio furniture obviously right after Labor Day. I mean, that's the time to do it. And and I know there a lot of people that want to buy grills and things like that. Don't do it

on Memorial Day. That's the worst time to do it's going to be uh Labor Day. Now, we we told you a few tips in places like Tar and other places like that. But this is the one that uh I really want to talk about on here because I think it's it's massive. And remember, I said this, I teased it up last week. People don't

realize that in Walmart, it's not true of every store, you can negotiate on food. >> Never in a million years have I heard that. So, when you go in there, okay, and I know you're going to think I'm an a-hole for saying this, and you may not believe me, but go do it. And then I

want to hear your feedback on the YouTube channel. If you get in there just because the price says it's the price, if you go to one of the people that are on the floor there and tell them that you can't pay this price and you want it marked down, they will often work with you to mark down the price on

that item. So, if you say this, >> you say just food. >> Yeah. Yes. >> Like a head of lettuce. >> Head of lettuce. Um, I I've seen it happen on >> ice cream.

>> Ice cream. Yeah. Any anything that's perishable, >> generally speaking, >> cuz they need to move that product. >> It's going to get moved out. So, anything in the frozen section, perishable section, not all Walmarts have it, but generally you walk into the

grocery store, that first section is a lot of par perishable stuff that's in there. But a lot of people don't realize this, but but bakery items, too, because they're going to have a shelf life in there as well. So you see it and it's like 5 days away from expiring. You're not thinking that much. Just put it in

my cart and I'll pay for it. No. Go to the manager and say, "Steve, I will not buy these muffins at this price today. I need you to lower the price and I'm going to buy them >> and I'll buy them cuz they're bad in two days." >> That's right.

>> And look at them. >> You only have a couple days to eat the muffins. So you're going to you're going to >> put pressure on me and my family to eat them. I >> I'm telling you what, this is one. Um I love that.

>> If you don't if you don't mind, I'll go with you. We'll take a video inside of Walmart because y'all y'all don't believe this is true and you're going to see how Steve and I get blueberry muffins marked down.

>> I like blueberry muffins. >> You like blueberry muffins. Then you go home and say, "Listen, honey. I have a a huge thing I want to tell you today. I saved our family $2.

>> That's great. Actually, that's a home run at my house." >> Hey, listen. It is. >> People make a joke about that, but $2 here, $5 here. Yeah, this is how good families build up extra money, stick it in a Roth IRA or something else and they become very successful over time. And

much like Target, last thing I want to tell you is that the best deals we talked about this Home Depot, they're invisible. So, you've got to use the price scanners that are in there. And I would be asking associates if there's any sales or deals that are coming up on there. They're all ways to save money

because Walmart's cheap to begin with in terms of prices. >> Sure. >> Um, but you can always get a better deal. thing about capitalism is this.

Everything, folks, is negotiable. You don't want to believe this, but everything is negotiable. You don't like your room at your hotel, complain about it and tell them you want a better room.

And often you'll get a better room because it'll be the 1% of the customers that complain and negotiate. The other 99 go, "Oh, we'll just deal with it that the bed wasn't made or whatever it might be." Don't deal with it. Because the skill in life, Steve, is if you're good at negotiating, you can always get more.

You can always get more. You get a better better price when you buy something. You get a better price when you sell something. And I say things at times and my family will cringe and they go, "Why would why would you do that?" And I go, "I just made us money. You could say thank you. You could say thank

you. I just made us money." >> And you always got one kid going, "Daddy, quit being such a cheap skate." >> So, as we walk away for today, I would just tell all of our all of our viewers, try this. Try to negotiate for something. Doesn't even matter uh if you fail. Uh and that is how you get the

green, my friend. >> I like it. You need the grain. And that's >> You and I, you and I will have a Walmart date.

>> I love it. >> And maybe we should do Who's pushing the bucket? >> Maybe we should do No, I think we should do a Steve and Ted test so you can get a better deal on the blueberry muffins.

>> So, you go and then I come in right behind you. >> Can I get a better price than you? >> Okay. I think right now you have the skill set, but I'm learning.

>> Yeah. I'm gonna fake an accent and some other things like that. >> Oh, you're gonna you're gonna do that? >> Yeah. If I give myself like a little accent and I know how to do it, they're going to feel bad for me and that's gonna make the price even better. Coming up on next week's show on red, white,

and scene and things to watch out for this week. The big jobs reports coming out this week. Keep an eye on this. These things always affects the markets only because I love my man Southside Steve. I've got a segment that isn't quite about money, but I do think it's interesting. And these are the 20 songs
