It'll be better. Trust me. Come on the air. All right. Today, we are joined by Elise in New York. And Elise, I understand you're talking to us about your parents. So what's

going on with them? Hi, Jill. Hi, Mark. Back there, too. I am coming on because I was recently

at home visiting my parents and they're getting ready for retirement. And I realize that they're in a transition moment, a woman that they were working with, just retired.

And they've been approached by another person to help them out.

And I realize these are both people that kind of sell products.

And I just think that that's not what they need.

And so I just offered to help them clean up and figure out how we can get them prepped.

Okay.

How old are they?

My dad is 61.

And my mom is.

Oh, my God.

Your dad is, oh, my, she's talking about them like, I thought they're elderly.

This guy's a year older than I am, Mark. Are you kidding me? I just, now I'm mad. Like my elderly parents, my aging parents. Oh, God. All right. Your dad is 61. How old is your mom younger than I am? My mom is 60. She just turned. Oh, I could be your mother is what you're saying to me now. I feel terrible about

myself, Mark, right now. All right. Tell us a tiny bit about what their situation looks like.

So my parents, believe it or not, have both been at their jobs for just about 40 years, each of them.

Oh, my God.
