I fed and watered her and that was her allowance. Watered her like a plant. I get your point. You give her room and board why does she need extra love. And endless love, and there is no price for love. Exactly. Isnt that another song endless love. My even less love. Diana ross. Why does it all sound the same. I dont know what it is. Let me bring this up here. I saw this National Survey the average survey, the average now that children are getting in this country for their allowance, 40 a week. Forty dollars. That is a lot. They have a good agent. What are they spending on when you are young. Junk. Well, they say their dos and donts when giving an allowance. Start paying your kid an allowance at the age of seven, and do it, weekly not monthly but dont pay your children pocket money in return for performing chores because that is where it all started. You clean are house, room, no, dont do that. Do tell them, where money is coming from, fresh from mom and dads pocket. Teach them value of money and go dollar for dollar with them if they cannot afford something but want to save up for it. A reward. Okay. Dont cancel their pocket money, if they behave badly. That is weird. No, you should. Yeah. Take it away. Take it away, man. That is currency. Take the currency away. What was the other stat. The other stat. Make them pocket money, hand over a formal event, i have no idea what that means. Rather than just Bank Transfers so your child sees physical money. Handing it over give them to them. Who gives a Bank Transfer to their kids. That is also true. So random. Never give them an advance on the allowance. I remember my parents made me get an account when i was young to manage money. I dont remember how young. I was pretty young to be having it. There wasnt anything in there but a dollar here and there. What do they give you now a week. They dont give me anything. What is with the money questions. I know. Because im broke. So you dont believe in allowance. No, she needed something would i get it for her. She was a great kid. You make a good point. You have to learn to deal with money. How to save, to save, not buy so much on credit. When i first got a job and credit cards, man, i was up there. Yeah. Terrible. This is free. No. Pay yourself first, and put it in savings and Everything Else and then, leave some for church. My daughters went off to college, jessica went to ucla. First day on campus is there dudes from master card and visa giving away card with 3,000 on it. She ripped right through them. Hey, dad they gave me 3,000 at ucla. That is just airport they give you teddy bear. That is a a cute teddy bear. Yes. Cute little gift. Yes. I like that. Do you think there is a point in giving allowance at all, should we just scrap them all together. I never gave my kids an allowance. You didnt either. No. If i wanted something there was one teddy bear i wanted and it was kind of expensive. My kids say if you do enough chores and do all this stuff we will pay you certain things. Give us a proposal. What you want to do and we will tell you how much you will get and raise enough money, then you can get it. Did you get the bear. Yes, after a month and a half. Do you still have the bear. I still that have bear. Is it a gund bear. No, it was a big ty bear, but wasnt your typical beanie baby, it was really nice, nice bear. Limited addition. What is weird is, it was just delivered last week. I was so worried, because i was trying to raise all this money, little bits at the a time. I thought it would be gone by the time i got there. Work, work, work. Yes, i was working. Let me take you back Lisa Scottoline when i was a collogue and im ten years younger then my brother tom. That is it. Im sorry, go ahead. There is a log cabin. There is a log cabin. Horse and buggy. Yes. So were all around the dinner table and tom is leaving to go to college st. Louis university. So he leaves. The next night at dinner he is no longer at the dinner table. I have seen my mother cry twice through the whole life. She cried because tom wasnt at the table, my brother. That was always her favorite. It was her first child. She wept and then ran in the bathroom. The other time i saw her cry, she went downstairs and the bend dixon was a washing machine and there was should all over the floor. That is touching. The first part was touching. The second not so much. Im from philly. So you believe crying over her son was more important then washing machine. Very touching were you there and she cried. I can identify. I can tell you this ten years later when i then went off to college there were no tears. Was there laughter. There was a Party Balloons that fell from my dining room ceiling. No. This is season when you send off to kid and tears of joy. One mom jumps for joy at most relatable back to school photo of all time. She had opposite of my mom, shes thrilled that these kids are going back to school. Look at her. Her name is keisha. Jumping in the air. Lot kids. Shes from alabama. Yeah, this is her summing it up how parents feel. Happy back to school kids i will miss yall. Share me with other parents who need a good laugh. That is her back to School Celebration photo from last year. She does it every year. Look at the kids, shes not pleased. What does she have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven kid. Shes been jumping around. Im not a fan of this honestly. I love my kid and love to spend time with her and now shes 30 and i still do. Sometimes we relax, read a book, live their lives. Only child thing, yes. That is true. So i know, this is a thing when i was in college when i went off to miss sue, they packing up my dorm, putting everything together unpacking and then when i decided to go i met new friend in the dorm. They are like okay, this is it, we are about to drive off. I was like hey we are going to the dining hall are you coming or not. I looked at my parents and my new friend and my new parents and i said all right, bye. I walk off. I didnt even drive off left. I felt upset. We were so excited. So then, in typical alex fashion, anytime they would come to miss sue after that, because they would come a lot, because i felt so bad about the fact that i walk off, so i would run off the car down the street, no, no, dont leave me and i would cry and bang on the window, oh, my god mommy, even to this day ill go out when they are leaving in philly and i will stand them and watch the car turning around the corner, mommy, good bye. Yes. Lack taiting as they say mommy. Lack taiting. Look at you. I feel bad about it. They get excited. Do people come to visit, they are there for the weekend, do you have to take them to their car and say good bye or can you just let them leave. What do you mean if you are the house and you have to walk them down to put the stuff in the car. Dawn sit in the living room and say see you later. You walk them to the car, is what wrong with you. Yes. You dont walk people to their car. Yes. You give them a hug, make sure they have water, a bit of food. Yes. See you. I would for weekend when you hear that door close and hear their car drive off. Yeah. Yes. See you later we are three miserable human beings. So our friend Kevin Mccarthey is in washington d. C. , he is our movie critic. He tells us what we should sianni not see over the weekends. Heres a new movie called petes dragon. Okay. Im not sure what pete is dragging but heres petes dragon. So, kevin, lisa is here with us and alex is here and as you can tell im somewhat here. Petes dragon is that a remake. Mike, alex, lisa, good morning. Reimaging of the 1977 disney animated classic. It was a live action film mixed with hand drawn animation this new film starring Robert Redford and Bryce Dallas Howard. This young boy pete his parents were killed and becomes an orphan and lives in the forest and becomes friend with the dragon named elliott. Beautiful story. Incredible with cgi. Special effects on the dragon are phenomenal. They have put fur on him. It almost seems like he is a dog in the sense in the way he moves. Anybody with a pet can relate to that. Cool thing is Bryce Dallas Howard saying to get eye lines correct in the movie, they added 25foot inflatable dragon to blow up so they can look up in the skies and have their eye lines correct but i give it four out of five. Robert redford is a nation. I interviewed him. The eye will put it on my twitter at Kevin Mccarthey tv. I asked him hard hitting journalism question has he ever had pull newmans own salad dressing. Find out on my twitter if you want to find that. Would i like to hear. That i will go watch that. Of course, paul newman and Robert Redford worked together in one of the most famous movies ever, sun dance kid. Yes. And, the sting. What is fun bye that question, mike, he literally, he was in the restaurant once and someone mistook him for paul newman. I love your salad dressing. It is one of the funniest things ever. Next time we will actually play it so we can enjoy it. Yes. Anyway. This next one i saw you posting about this last night. Sausage party. Excuse me. What is the name of it, sausage party. Umhmm. Yes. Mike. You are the first personally thought of when i saw this film the other night. Thank you. Because this is why. It could be a good thing. Because mike, mike, i feel like mike shares my sense of humor. We have the very same sense of humor. I feel like this hoff i is one of the most those provoking yet one of the most hilarious films i have ever seen in a long time. Seth rogan plays a sausage and in love with the bun played by kristin wig and it is about horror that food experiences when it leaves the Grocery Store and they are eaten and killed by human beings. The movie has an interesting social commentary on life, but it is also one of the most rhawn muchyr rated films i have seen in my life. I was sitting in the theater, my fiance was sitting next to me and shes says this is crazy thing i have ever seen and im dying laughing with tears coming down my face. Im telling you right now wait until you see the final sequence of this movie, you have ever never seen anything like it in my life. It is seth rogan. It is sausages in the bun. Thought provoking. Doesnt really come to mind with sausage party. That is the brilliance, of that, it comes off as this stupid idea but they actually touch on everything happening in the world today. It is very smart. It is like good day philadelphia. Stupid idea but somehow it works. Really good. Trains and tunnels. Does your fiance like it, you said she was sitting there looking at you. No kid whatsoever, only parents to see this movie or adults, do not take your kid to see it. Random segway. He didnt hear me. Bye kevin, thank you. All right. Bye guys hell or high the what ther with jeff bridges is good, four and a half out of five as well. A guy named bridges would be called hell or high water. What kevin, sorry. I will tweet out that Robert Redford answer Kevin Mccarthey on twitter if you want to see what he says about eating paul newmans salad dressing. Explain to me something that the young people say. Am i the young people. Well. My name is alex and i represent the young people. You are representing all young people. They didnt vote for me to hold this position but i have. Thank you.
