Dave from Chicago is 62, single, living with his elderly parents, and has quietly accumulated roughly $600,000 across an IRA, a 401(k), and savings accounts — almost entirely in the last four years. His investment advisor, who calls herself a fiduciary, recommended a long-term care annuity. Dave Ramsey delivers one of his most detailed explanations of the annuity landscape: fixed annuities are just bad savings accounts, variable annuities are acceptable (mutual funds in a tax-deferred wrapper) but almost always sold by life insurance agents posing as real advisors, and bundling any product with long-term care insurance is a financial abomination that only benefits the insurer. For this caller specifically, the math is irrelevant — $600,000 at market rates doubles to $1.2 million by age 69 without adding a dollar, far exceeding the $200,000–$300,000 typical nursing home exposure. He should self-insure and, if he wants long-term care coverage, buy a standalone policy — never bundled. Dave's disdain for life insurance agents calling themselves fiduciaries is barely contained.

Historically, only 40% of men have ever reproduced — Galloway uses this to argue that romantic success requires effort, not a hall pass.
Robby Hoffman is the 7th of 10 children raised in a Hasidic household in Montreal, where the family was poor and comedy was a survival mechanism.
Robby's Hasidic community had no concept of 'too soon' in comedy — if it was funny, you threw it, and if you bombed, your sibling told you immediately.
