It's Brian Preston, the money guy, restoring order to your financial chaos, retirement, investing, taxing.

You've got financial questions. He's got financial answers. It's Brian Preston, the money guy.

So this is what happens. I wake up, turn on the TV and there's a today show.

You know what the day is today? 11, 11, 11. That's a pretty cool thing.

That's incredible. We actually, it's so funny and pre-show production, we had some funny comments.

So we're both here sitting here smiling each other because if we had to run with what we would originally thought,

a lot of you guys might not be listening anymore.

And all serious, there's some cool things that have happened and I'm going to try to tie this up like a sign-filled episode

and kind of make a complete circular reference here so you go, oh, they're all interconnected somehow.

So let me kind of, first, today's show, this is one of those shows I know when I listen to talk radio or anything,

there are certain shows every year are kind of either get excited about our cringe.

I'm like, oh, really, they're doing another fundraiser for that charity.

Oh, I was kind of hoping it was going to be a normal show.

Well, this might be that type of time for you. I'm hoping it's actually the former, though,

where you actually get excited that we cover this every year.

I looked at the calendar, kind of snuck up on me. Black Friday is only two weeks away.

So I figured, wait a minute, that means we're not going to record another show until the Thanksgiving weekend.

Oh, we probably need to do a Black Friday show because we've got to keep the tradition.

I knew that we've done this tradition a lot because Bo started mimicking what I've been saying every other year.

So that's why I felt like I had to start with something different, like the 11-11-11.

Some thoughts here, and I'm going to show how we can bring this all around,

is that I watched the CMAs this past week.
