Intro & Sponsor — EveryDollar
At 0:15 · chapter starts 0:00
George Kamel kicks off the episode with the signature Ramsey intro — 'normal is broke and common sense is weird' — establishing his solo-host energy for the day. Broadcasting from the Fairwinds Credit Union studio, he promises an unfiltered show and invites callers at 888-825-5225. EveryDollar, Ramsey's flagship budgeting app, is plugged as the opening sponsor, setting the practical, action-oriented tone for everything that follows.
