re: Acquired podcast: The Google series
Posted by Rendevoustavern on 11/29/25 at 5:08 pm to rickgrimes
I found their Berkshire series to be even better.
Not discounting Google, I think they have an excellent perspective. What’s hilarious, their TSMC episode came out about 2-3 months before their stock had a crazy run. I invested a few dollars, wish it was more.
I think it’s important for investors to keep in touch with this podcast.

I just asked my mom (perks of all being together) where we were and they were in the The Esplanade on 63rd. My mom went back a year ago to see a friend and she agrees with your statement that the whole area is going to be a mess in the next few years.

Where in El Con? My parents ended up buying a place for our last two years (64th) and sold their house to an incoming family from India. Whole place is so different than when we left in 2008. The whole front side facing 34th is completely different. Last time we were there, end of 2023, we went through what we called the back side for Leadbetter but holy shite that whole side is way more than just the original townhomes and soccer fields.

Graduated Pendleton 2007.
No scholarships but a lot of kids are either filthy rich or have a handful of family members that come together to support the annual tuition. I knew a few kids from Texas that had like 5-6 family members that paid the total tuition vs just parents. We had kids who flew home every weekend on parents PJs. It was a wild experience at 15.
I wouldn't say they have many kids that are year over year, unless filthy rich terrible parents. A few kids were there for one year with two summers and then went back home. It isn't for the faint of heart. Very hard at that age to continue pushing yourself to that level. A lot of kids had college paid for after that so the parents just pre-paid for college.
Shoot one of my closest friends (pro LPGA player) her parents basically bankrupted themselves getting her through the program until she went pro and had a $15m sponsorship windfall.
Then there was Peter Uhlein who used to fly private to AJGA events on the Acushnet jet while we all rode the big bus or rode in panel vans.

re: Married folks — do you and your spouse keep separate checking accounts?
Posted by Rendevoustavern on 11/22/25 at 12:44 pm to HoustonGumbeauxGuy
We do only because she has a separate form of earnings that has to go to an account in her name for medical liability purposes (when she covers shifts for the other MDs in her group). We both have access to all of our banking, retirement, brokerage, Amex, etc accounts. She’s so financially illiterate she doesn’t understand why any of it means but we at least discuss it.
Kiiiiinda wild someone would hide this from their spouse. Especially when consumer debt can be tied to both parties when married.

re: Anybody else live in a newish house that has all LED lighting? What a pain in the arse
Posted by Rendevoustavern on 11/17/25 at 5:55 pm to PrimeTime Money
We renovated a house in 2018 with all LED cans. Over the 6 years, I have replaced a handful but we sourced them from a reputable online company and they replaced them for free (under their warranty). Not only did they replace the single light but they would usually send me a 6 pack. When we sold the house I left maybe 30 brand new lights in the attic.

Honestly he shouldn’t have been there because Paige had a stock 150 yard shot and made a trash swing. She is clearly not as good as advertised, not remotely close. The only person who is likely better than advertised is Brad.

huge comeback on the second day
The par 3 being a stroke play event was a genius move because now every shot is very important whereas an errant drive can be made up and still a chance at par. Whereas a bad tee shot on the par 3 was an immediate bogey.
I have a kind of crazy idea, but if the first two days were captained by an actual non playing pro that was there only to "coach" the team through their matches, I think that would lead to better misses and likely better golf. Once they get into the 3-man teams its everyone for themselves. They should also sweeten the purse somehow to get the teams to actually go for those wild bets Dave made.

Paige tarnished her golf brand. Tits are undefeated. Her immediate reaction of tears and “don’t want anyone to think I’m a cheater” screams she knew she broke a rule. Her personality when not edited by her team is clearly not pleasant.
Tits are undefeated though.

re: Anyone ever refinanced an SBA loan ?
Posted by Rendevoustavern on 11/9/25 at 11:58 am to lgtiger
Depends on your bank. We used the expansion loan to acquire another business and they consolidated the original loan. The fees were significantly less than the original loan and took about 15 days because the reduction in red tape.

Will be interesting to see the trading action over the next hour compared to the final two hours of the day. Obviously a panic sell off and plenty of people sitting on the side line with cash to dump in which is why the price hasn't fallen off a cliff. There is so much action between 1.90-1.96 its kind of wild.

Rebounded quick off $1.80, holding at $1.96/98.
