Full Show: Clark Stinks! and Hotel Booking Warning

[@carolwhitaker5880]

I totally agree with your comments about volunteering. I see people on social groups complaining about not having friends and being lonely. Volunteering is what I always recommend to them. You may not meet someone that will become a life long friend, but you will make life long memories and it is a great opportunity to change someone’s life. The young and old are usually the people that will benefit the most from your generosity. I enjoy working with children because you are really affecting their future which also affects our future.

[@Clark]

Help someone and meet new people! 💚

Clark is absolutely right about the teachers of retirement courses offered by community colleges. My husband and I attended one and the teacher was an insurance salesman of universal life policies. Follow his advice and check out the credentials - don't be a target!

[@e-care-books9867]

Also... a lot of local radio shows which are "supposedly" about "financial freedom" are .... well... about talking up annuities. I call it an "annuity centric" world view.

35 years ago my daughter had to be transported to a local hospital. The bill was over $900 which is a lot of money but was REALLY a lot of money then. Not covered by insurance.

Clark needs to do a segment on the April 2024 solar eclipse and how hotels have been canceling booked rooms because they realized they could get much higher prices now.

[@donna-n5h]

Wow ! I didn’t realize hotels can cancel booked rooms. Thankfully it’s never happened to me .

[@Clark]

Not in reference to the solar eclipse, but we have done a segment on hotels and Airbnbs canceling booked rooms because they realize they could get a much higher rate. The sad part was that they didn't even let the people know that their bookings were canceled. Thanks for flagging that it's happening again! We will consider it. 💚

[@shellz-ts6td]

Happened to me, reserved over a year ago and was told they would be remodeling and would have to close and cancel my reservation. Checked later and they were rebooking at 4 times what I reserved! I was able to find a room cheaper than my initial booking, not quite as good a location, but I know I'm lucky to have a room!

[@makeyourlifeeasier5794]

Clark is so correct about Private Equity...but it should actually be called what they used to be known as: "Robber Barons."

[@donna-n5h]

Clark , what about the retirement seminars with the free steak dinners . I’m very wary of “free stuff “ from past experiences. Let’s say with age comes wisdom.

[@g.t.richardson6311]

Don’t go, not worth it, 99% are insurance agents or non fiduciary financial advisors pumping high fee annuities.

[@Clark]

🛑Yes, stay away from the "free" steak dinners because they will cost you. You live and you learn. 💚

Thank you !

[@shellz-ts6td]

I enjoyed a lovely lunch and walked out...they're not getting me!

[@Kenzie_Hill]

Great information! Love this format ❤❤

[@makeyourlifeeasier5794]

I love the excuse of not hearing certain words correctly. I'm going to use this great excuse for everything!: Jury duty, language learning, quarterly taxes due, even the "Honey do list." Thanks Clark!! I'll let you know how it goes...if I survive...

[@Clark]

You may squeeze by on the others, but it will definitely not work on the "Honey Do List."😂💚

[@makeyourlifeeasier5794]

@@Clark You were correct, unfortunately 😂

[@tomm7505]

I always book hotel rooms directly on the hotel company's website. I never use third party sites.

[@charlessommers7218]

Great show 😀

[@e-care-books9867]

#BonusFlick - "A Man Called Ove” - Original Swedish version of the Tom Hanks movie “A Man Called Otto” that Clark mentioned. Both films are great. Buuuutt, the original is better. #FlickPick for #Friday. #Thanks Hanks

My son got into a car accident in Atlanta a few years ago and was bleeding from the head. He had his car towed and called an Uber to take him to the hospital because he was so worried about the cost of an ambulance.

[@Clark]

😲 Wow! That's so unfortunate. Hope he's doing well today!

[@BreakTime10101]

I like how you bookmark the KZbin videos. Can you please bookmark your Apple audio podcast as well? Thanks

[@Clark]

Thanks for the suggestion! We will look into this. 💚

[@drbcrb]

Book direct with hotel. Avoid 3rd party websites.

[@zyzzuschrist3410]

W Saturday show! I’m here for it!

[@marietaylor5174]

Thank you Team Clark.

[@makeyourlifeeasier5794]

Great work getting Clark to work on Saturday Christa...now it you can just get him to wear a really high end different shirt...even for one day!🤣😂(Love the show either way Clark!)

[@Clark]

😂😂💚

[@weavery2k]

when i go to costco i dont bring my wallet so i dont spend anything i just look around like its a museum and if they got something i really need i come back

[@Clark]

Great strategy, Clarkie! 🙌 We recommend waiting 24 hours before making a nonessential purchase. Oftentimes you will change your mind and save money!

[@retired8484]

Listen to Christa. Stay away!

[@wandachellers280]

Great Podcast. You're you building habitat houses for seniors?

[@magnoliap5824]

I don’t use a cart 🛒 very often at Costco either. It’s so much easier to get around. If I know I’m buying something bulky then I get a cart.

[@daveassanowicz186]

Clark stinks because I secretly replaced his deodorant with mountain grown Folger's crystals. 😃

[@Clark]

😂😂💚

[@weavery2k]

if you take an ambulance to the hospital you go to the First of the Line -

[@Clark]

This is a myth. Arriving to the emergency department by ambulance does not get you seen more quickly. The ER treats people in order of the severity of their condition, no matter how they arrive. 💚

[@retired8484]

Not

[@MorpheusMind]

Well Clark and Friends, I think you guys have too much disposable income. I go to Costco all the time and buy one item like that big bag of bathroom I put it in my cart and walk right out. It's not a problem for me at all. I have had a few people say wow what discipline you can walk in and get one item and walk out of Costco. I looked at them and say well. It's all I needed It's as simple as that ✌🏿

[@Clark]

Amazing discipline, Clarkie! This is how you do it. 👏👏👏 Some people have to use tips and tricks to keep themselves from overspending. 💚

[@corkball5315]

I can't speak to most of what Clark says here - most of it sounds totally legit and cautious. I will say this though - text codes have little to do with strong passwords - they probably represent someone trying to get AROUND your password. And the caller was totally correct about inflation. It has nothing to do with stabilizing the economy and all about stealing purchasing power from the public.

[@retired8484]

Apple watches and all other "watches" have no actual purpose yet.

[@matrixllc.5950]

Clark's none stop rambling. And repeating himself.his subscribers must be desperate or lonely.

[@kaohsiung99]

Which part is he 'rambling'? Time stamp, please.

[@Clark]

...or entertained! 💚
