Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to another edition of DIY Money.

DiLiWi! Money was shaking a Howard.

2026. That's crazy about the new year. Lots of exciting things going on. By the way, if you haven't checked us out on social at DIY Money podcast, we are blowing up. I have something to say to you about that. Let's talk about it. Have I ever told you about squash the beef? I don't know what that means. I have a friend and he used to jokingly sit down to people and he would say, okay, squash the beef, as if they both had dramatic beef. And then inevitably they would come up with something to argue about. Here's my squash the beef for you. Why is the beef? Let's do it. Why in the world did you post the picture from dinner where it looks like my arm is a selfie stick length and it looked like I had six like rolls?

It's like the worst picture I've ever seen.

It's amazing. It's amazing.

Because it's real. Listen, A. Because I'm not one of those people.

Listen. Listen, A. Howard. It looks so bad, Quinn. Okay. That's now out on the interweb. I smell a lawsuit. If you haven't seen what she's talking about again on Instagram, we put up a photo. We had a little powwow session of what 2026 was going to look like. We got together Logan A. Howard and myself and enjoyed a little Texas road house. And then we took the worst selfie I've ever seen. Well, it said, hey, put it on 0.5 like the kids. And she did. And then she decided to stick her arm out to the next table. Isn't that what you're supposed to do? I think your finger went in the guy's ear. Oh, my gosh. It was a little weird. How do you do 0.5?

I don't know.

I just, I do 0.5 and I hold it. Well, next time you're taking it. Anyways, it's a great photo. I think it's great, but we are real people. It's honest. And sometimes we do strange things. And you know what? I'm sure there's going to be times I do something strange

and you're going to be like, oh, I'm going to post it on the Instagram.

I will say I was going to be times I do something strange and you're going to be like, oh.

I'm going to post it on the Instagram.

I will say I was listening to a podcast. You're like, well, it's because he's bald. That's true. And then you were like, maybe people don't know he's bald. I think people know I'm bald. But now that we're lighting up the socials, they know you're bald. And it's now 65 degrees in here and you still have a jacket on.

And it's 51 out.

My hands are ice-coated. we're lighting up the socials. And it's now 65 degrees in here and you still have a jacket on.

And it's 151 out.

My hands are ice cold.

Oh, my gosh.
