It's my pleasure to welcome you here at the Clark Howard Show, where our mission is

to serve you with knowledge so you are empowered to make better financial decisions in your life.

Whether it's ugly or nice outside wherever you are, it's sunny inside our studio.

I get to be here with you, and today my favorite I get to hear how I

stink. It's really great for me to hear from you, your feedback, where you feel or you know I've done something

wrong.

Because none of us should live in an echo chamber.

You know, one of the things in modern life is we live in

a mutually reinforcing echo chamber where we only hear stuff that we already have a tendency

to agree with. I think it's important to break that echo

chamber and hear what you feel, what you think, whether you're angry or what, where

you feel I haven't gotten it right. That's why Clark

Stinks is so important to me. Something else important to me? I am so grateful to

the wonderful, brave men and women of our country who put their lives

on the line each day to keep us safe and secure in this great nation, our veterans. And I want to talk about our

veterans as we approach Veterans Day. We've got deals for veterans and lots of

information that you want to hear that will help you financially.

So I'm really excited about that segment.

Okay, we're going to do Clark Stinks now, right?

Yeah, ready?

Let's go.

I should have never encouraged you to speak. You must think I'm pretty stupid.
