This is the Ramsey Call of the Day, part of the Ramsey Network. Joining me today is Ramsey Personality, Dr. John Deloney. Dr.
John Deloney came to our product team and they came up with this very wild idea of conversation cards for adults, a conversation cards for families, and we got them for several categories, right? How many categories? Yeah, there's ones for people who have been married for a while that help you get a little deeper relationship and then for families, grandparents, kids, and everybody in between, and then there's ones for just friends hanging out. Okay, and just the conversation starters.
That's right. And I promptly laughed and I went, we reached the point in America that we actually need a deck of cards to have a conversation. This is absolutely freaking ridiculous. These things will never sail and they have sold thousands, tens of thousands.
You're going to pay my house off to you. I'm telling you, I've never seen a product like this. I love it when I'm wrong like this. I do too.
So, they have challenged me to get involved, especially since I was so negative, with the conversation cards, so you've got some of them. So, this is how this works. This is how this works. I'm just pulling up.
So, imagine me and you were getting chips in case or just having a conversation for a couple of 10 million people. What's one word or phrase that's way overused? Literally, literally. Oh, literally is the worst.
Literally. Rachel Cruz literally is everything. Literally. The word I can't stand is the word awesome.
And I say it. It sounds like an old, like, sad teacher. My pastor friend has a fit about that because he says that word could be a result for God. It's okay.
And I say it all the time too, like I'm some kind of surfer boy or something. Oh, it sounds like an old youth. Yeah, you're awesome. Yeah, and we're like, we shouldn't be saying this.
Yeah, it's a great word, but it is overused. All right. What physical activity? Well, Dave's out on that one.
What physical activity or small just being ugly today. You are. Physical activity or small. Well, open on John.
Could you defeat pretty much anyone at? Say it again. What physical activity or sport? Could you defeat pretty much anyone at?
None. But I am in the top 1% on a water ski or barefooting. You are incredible at that. So, and I'm 61 years old.
I still barefoot. So that's, you know, that does put you up. I saw you get off the back of the boat. I couldn't believe.
If I hadn't been there, I thought they were exaggerating. When you were on the back of the boat and then you took the rope and threw it into the back of the boat and you were surfing. Surfing. Surfing by surfing.
I've never seen that. It's really impressive when you've never seen it. But it's not that hard. I just saw you on some sort of device behind the boat.
Nothing was pulling you and you were still following the boat. That's surfing. Lots of people do that. A lot of people are going, John, that's not that impressive.
But yeah, we've been doing it since nobody was doing it. That's for sure. We started doing it. We had to get our own little board and figure it out.
And then it suddenly became a thing. Now they built boats just to do that. What's a movie or TV show that you're ashamed to admit you watch? Downton Abbey.
Lost my man card on that one. Do you like it? Every episode. Yeah.
Lost my man card on that one for sure. Oh man. Without hesitation. You liked it?
Oh, I loved it. Yeah. Completely lost my man card. The music.
Just ding, ding, ding, ding. The whole thing. If you can't see if you're listening on podcast, Dave is actually hugging himself right now. When he just said that.
No, his arms are crossed in a bad body language position. He's hugging himself. What's the strangest thing you know about your family history? You can repeat on the air.
Yeah, really. Well, on the one side I had a group that had my two great grandfathers were both preachers, one of them was a circuit riding preacher. And on the back of a mule went around all throughout the south. And I've got his Bible from the 1800s and he carried the saddlebags.
Wow. That's on the one side. Someone murdered one of the Ramses and the widow was pregnant. And when the baby was born 18 years later, she handed him her, his dad's gun and said the guys in Montana go kill him and he did.
Whoa. So you come by this natural side and we got this other thing on the other side. So I don't know. Yeah, it's wild.
So America, if you don't think genetics are a player? Eighteen years later, Hillbilly will send you the son of your father that you killed to come kill you. I mean, that's Hillbilly stuff right there, man. Wow.
That's fantastic, Dave. I'm not usually speechless. That's incredible. The manifestation of it right now.
And you've been making fun of me. Just keep listening. I'm quite now. I want to tell you that you're looking great.
You're looking kind of young. You're looking younger than I've ever seen you. You look fast, too. You just run fast.
That's incredible. Questions for humans, everybody. Man, you get a group of people around the table. That's fun.
I have to admit. It's pretty cool. You can dig up something and get to talk about something other than just stupid stuff. Tell your friends that you cannot talk about COVID and not talk about whatever is on the menu.
COVID question or a politic question in this deck. Thank you, Jesus. Not in this deck. No vaccine questions.
Thank you, Jesus. I need to talk about that. Not in this deck. On ending friendships.
All stuff. When you answer this question. It's the greatest ever. True or false?
Go. People who don't get vaccines are evil. Go. We're going to clear your friend deck for you.
We're going to sell that deck in a hundred dollars a piece. We're going to separate the sheep from the goats, right? Look at this. Move over.
So here's the fun thing. We're going to give you, when you buy two copies of John's new book, own your past, change your future. One for you and one for him. If you use the promo code friends, when you check out, you'll get the friend's edition of Questions For Humans for free.
We will throw in this highly expensive deck of Regarding Presidents and Arts as a bonus. This is Dave revenge for me giving away TMO every episode. You're now giving away the questions for humans. And another book with John's book and the questions for human cards you will laugh for sure.
You'll probably cry. You may get mad. You'll definitely learn something and you'll start connecting at a meaningful level. RamciSolutions.com, get two copies of John's new book, one for you, one for someone else, own your past, change your future.
There's all kinds of add-ons when you buy that and put the promo code friends in and we will also, now in addition to the other stuff, throw in the friends edition of the conversation start. Very cool. And that's a big bonus because these links are selling. We really don't have to give them away.
We're not really going to be stuck with them or anything. They're going to sell. Goodness. Great.
And then you can call my show to find out what happens when you find out that your boss has a murderer in the family. Wow. Hey. Far enough back that, you know, that doesn't affect me.
It is not far enough back. Don't affect me. Don't affect me. I'll do you just keep that in mind now.
I'm just scooting over right now. Thanks for tuning in to the Ramci Call of the Day. To check out all of our podcasts, just search Ramci Network on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.
