| 0:04.0 | Welcome to How to Money. |
| 0:05.7 | I'm Joel. |
| 0:06.4 | I am Matt. |
| 0:07.6 | Today we're talking AI Money Impacts, Side Hustle Salad Days, and Sillen Sabers. |
| 0:36.9 | Thank you. You know what, buddy, this is our Friday flight, and we're going to get to the top headlines from this past week, how they impact you as an individual. And you've got |
| 0:38.3 | something here about Rivian, which I know you're not actually interested in purchasing because |
| 0:44.1 | you're very happy with your four-runner. Not anymore. I think I mentioned... Which they actually look |
| 0:48.5 | similar. You know, like the general body shape. I saw Rivian pass me this morning. And's got like a smaller back. Like the little hatch, the little tailgate, which is pretty, I don't know, in my mind, that's reminiscent of I guess maybe it's some of the older forerunners, not unlike yours. Well, the other, the thing about forerunners is like the style has barely changed over the past like 30 years. |
| 1:11.2 | So you're like, when people see my forerunner, they're like, that looks like it's like |
| 1:14.2 | five years old. I'm like, yeah, it's 20. But it just because the body style has changed so little. Yeah. It's the 2006? Yeah. That's crazy. I know. That's crazy. I know. It's in great shape. Which is, well, it's also nice when the body style changes so little. |
| 1:26.9 | And so it's really hard to put a finger on exactly when it was made. |
| 1:30.6 | But no. |
| 1:30.8 | Yeah, folks see my... great shape. Well, it's also nice when the body style changes so little, and so it's really hard to put |
| 1:28.8 | a finger on exactly what it was made. |
| 1:30.6 | But no. |
| 1:30.8 | Yeah, folks see my 06 Odyssey and they're like, is that a new? No, I don't, I don't have a 2012 Odyssey. Those have changed a little more, but although the body style of those doesn't change significantly. It's a tonne, but you go back, I don't even know if they existed back in 06, but I guarantee you that Toyota Siena's Honda Odyssey's. |
| 1:46.1 | Oh, no, they did. |
| 1:46.6 | We had no 06 Odyssey for us. I'm just saying, I guarantee that they did not look like the new ones today. Like the new ones today look significantly different. My 06 Odyssey was like powder blue and had a very different body style than that was an 06 as well. That was an 06 too. Nice. Yeah. Yeah. |
| 2:01.5 | And it was a great ride. |
| 2:15.1 | What's crazy is seeing, I guess, like the late 90s, Cinas or Odyssey's. Like, you don't see too many of them on the road now because, I mean, let's face it, that's just really, really old. And they're so small. That's what blows my mind. Are they really? Oh, yes. |
