What are conversation grenades?
And they do that eye thing and you're like... Have you ever had like a really awkward interaction? I had one while we were downtown doing a man on the street interview. So we find strangers like, hey, let's talk about money. And like they have to sign a waiver at the end saying we can use it on the YouTube channel. Well, she didn't know that we were part of Ramsey at first. We had told her, but she couldn't breeze by it. She's signing the waiver and goes, wait, Ramsey? As in like Dave Ramsey? We're like, yeah. And she goes, oh, I can't sign this. And she just walked away. And we're like, girl, who hurt you? What? It was wild. So I was like, it is controversial just to help people get out of debt.
Just trying to help people budget, you know, do that every dollar app. That's what we're out here doing for America.
But people weirdly are okay sharing a lot of details about their finances, which is rare in other small talk conversations.
Yeah, because it is funny in our jobs, especially on the Ramsey Show, you immediately ask people, okay, so how much do you make? Okay, how much does that take home? Okay, what's your car payment? I mean, you are just diving in.

What was going on with the personal loan? I mean, you got to get all the info.

This is what we do.
This is what we do.
Yeah.
We talk about the taboo.
How to handle awkward money conversations?
So some common off-limit topics. I'll throw Conspiracy Theory out. That's my number one.
Okay. I think it's a good one. That's a good one.
Another one. Why aren't you drinking?
Oh, that's a big one.
Yeah, what's going on? What's wrong?
You good? Something is wrong with you if you're not drinking. Wild? Either you're pregnant. Are you pregnant?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, totally.
If you're a woman, that's the first thing.
