Martha: Welcome. I'm Martha, the host of the Dave Ramsey show. How are you?
Tripp: Good. I'm Tripp.
Martha: Well, good to have you.
Tripp: I'm the host of other things.
Martha: Okay.
Tripp: Can I sit here?
Martha: Sure. Welcome. Can I fix you something?
Tripp: I'll have just a regular coffee.
Martha: Okay, great. Oh no it's complimentary. It's complimentary. We serve coffee and fresh
cookies to all of our guests.
Tripp: I get points thought.
Martha: Well, you might want to put that away in this building.
Tripp: Where exactly is Dave's part of the building.
Martha: There's four floors. Dave's actual studio is here, but he...
Tripp: You know, I'm just going to look for him.
Martha: Well, you know.
Tripp: You make cookies. You stay nice.
Martha: Okay.
Tripp: And I'm sure I can find him.
Martha: Okay.
Tripp: I'm so sorry. There's this one thing I do. I'm a hugger. So I usually do.
Martha: Okay.
Tripp: Thanks Martha.
Martha: Okay.
Tripp: Let's see. Dave? Yeah, I should definitely put more pictures of myself in my office. I'll
just wait in here.
Dave Ramsey: Hey.
Tripp: One second. Dave.
Dave Ramsey: Hey. I'm here for the Piers Morgan interview.
Tripp: Oh yeah.
Dave Ramsey: And you are?
Tripp: Piers.
Dave Ramsey: You're not really.
Tripp: I'm Tripp.
Dave Ramsey: You're Tripp?
Tripp: Yeah.
Dave Ramsey: So you're his assistant or?
Tripp: No, no. He couldn't make it.
Dave Ramsey: Couldn't make it.
Tripp: Yeah. He sent me to do the interview. Is that all right?
Dave Ramsey: Yeah. No problem. No big deal.
Tripp: Really?
Dave Ramsey: What do you need to do?
Tripp: Really?
Dave Ramsey: Yeah.
Tripp: You really are a nice guy.
Dave Ramsey: Well.
Tripp: I didn't know people with money were nice. Yeah, have a seat. It was recommended to
me by a financial adviser, since I own a company, to lease a car through my company for tax
advantages. And at in the end - see, now I already know that I probably did the wrong thing.
Dave Ramsey: Well, we call it fleasing. It's the most expensive way to operate a vehicle. So
now, we tell people not to do that, because the tax advantages don't offset the fact that you're
paying way too freaking much for the car. So, sorry.
Tripp: Dang it. Okay, so I've been doing the envelope system for awhile now.
Dave Ramsey: Oh good.
Tripp: And the only problem I'm having is this. Sometimes, I run out of money in my khaki
pants envelope. And I was wondering if it's okay to borrow some money out of my cheese and
crackers envelope, because I notice I don't always spend all that every month.
Dave Ramsey: Well you probably just need to reallocate at the beginning of the month. I don't
know.
Tripp: Do you have a new iPad?
Dave Ramsey: I do. They're nothing new when I got the first one. This is the brand new one.
You're cutting edge dude.
Tripp: I am. I got it for free, basically. I don't have to pay for it until October this year. It's a
pretty good deal, I thought. And I got like 500 SkyMiles. So I bought new iPad, SkyMiles. I
probably make some money between on October I can pay for it with.
Dave Ramsey: Well dude, it's been really good. I've got to do a little radio show here.
Tripp: One second. I got an email. One second. I'm not doing that. I'm going to be here. I will
be here, telling you that right now. It was no trouble at all for me to be here today.
Dave Ramsey: Good, good. Well, it's been really good dude. I've got to get in here and get the
show done.
Tripp: Okay.
Dave Ramsey: Pleasure being with you.
Tripp: Yeah, absolutely.
Dave Ramsey: Thank you for being here, or not. It's all good. It's all good.
Tripp: I'm hugger.
Dave Ramsey: Yeah, I know. Me too. Be good.
Tripp: Thanks Dave.
Dave Ramsey: Live from Financial Peace Plaza. It's the Dave Ramsey show with #[0:04:21]
Dom, the cashier's king. And the paid off home mortgage has taken the place of the BMW as the
status symbol of choice. I'm Dave Ramsey your host. Blake, what's going on, Blake? Wait,
where's Blake? Okay.
