Caller: Dave, we spent 7 years paying off almost $1 million in business debt. We're down to the last $60,000, but I'm exhausted and resent my husband. I gave up my dream of being a stay at home mom to make this happen. Now I feel disconnected from him. Dave: What are you resenting? Caller: Everything I sacrificed. I feel like I lost 7 years of my life trying to save our family from debt. Dave: You can't change those 7 years. But you can stop letting the resentment destroy what you're trying to save. Caller: How do I even begin to let it go? Dave: Write your husband a letter. Get help from a counselor or pastor. Then start building a new vision for your marriage. You can't keep punishing your husband for a past neither of you can change. Caller: I just want to feel close to him again. Dave: Then start working on your marriage now. Don't wait until the debt is gone to start rebuilding your relationship.

Caller: Dave, I won $22 million in the lottery two years ago. Almost nobody knows. Just my wife and one sibling. Am I crazy for keeping it a secret? Dave: Crazy? You may have just protected yourself from the biggest problem that comes with sudden wealth. Why keep it quiet? Caller: I've seen what happens when people find out. Everybody wants something, and money changes how people look at you. Dave: Exactly. Once people know you've got $22 million, you're no longer just John. You're the bank. So how do you help family without exposing yourself? Caller: We tell them my wife's late great uncle left us an inheritance. That's our cover story. Dave: That's clever. And did you change your lifestyle? Caller: Not really. I still work a job I love, live in my old house, and drive my old cars. From the outside, nothing has changed. Dave: Good. The money didn't change who you are. What about your kids? Do they know? Caller: No. We want them to develop their own work ethic and find their own purpose. Dave: That's smart. You don't want your kids growing up believing they never have to accomplish anything because an inheritance is waiting for them. Caller: So when do we start enjoying the money? Dave: Now! You can be responsible without being afraid to enjoy your own wealth. Take your family on trips. Make memories. Give generously. Help people who genuinely need it. You kept the money from changing your life. Now make sure being afraid to spend it doesn't stop you from living that life. The goal isn't to die with $22 million. It's to use that money to make a difference while you're still here.

Miles Teller says he once became a real life superhero after a pregnant woman asked him for help when a shark swam past her in the ocean “She comes up to me and looks really freaked out. She says, ‘Oh my God, don’t be alarmed.’ But I’m looking at her face and I’m like, ‘Well, you’re freaking me out.’” “She goes, ‘There’s a big shark that just swam right by me. Can you help me and my baby?’ And I’m like, this is three people right here.” “The headline literally the next day was ‘Real Life Superhero Miles Teller Saves Pregnant Woman, Her Child.’”

Eddie Murphy says Richard Pryor bet him $100,000 that he couldn't release a music album with no jokes, but never paid up after he proved him wrong “He bet me $100,000 that I wouldn't put out a music album where there's no jokes and nothing, it's just all music. He said, ‘You'll never do it.’ And I bet him $100,000 and then I did it, and he never paid me.”

Tom Cruise says he jumped out of a helicopter eight times on the first day of filming Mission: Impossible, calling the dangerous stunt “wild” “Today is day one of principal photography, and we are starting in classic Mission form with the biggest stunt in the film.” “What we're doing here is I'm just doing jumps just to warm up the body. I'm trying not to smile.” “I jumped off that eight times. Eight times, I know. It was wild. It was wild.”

Caller: Dave, I’m 69, and my 79 year old husband has secretly gambled away over $1 million of our savings. We used to have more than $1 million, but now we have just $15,000 left. He makes $350,000 a year as a pharmacist, yet he insists he can control his sports betting. Dave: He gambled away a million dollars, and he still thinks he has it under control? Caller: He says he can limit himself to $700 or $800 a month. He doesn’t seem to understand how serious this is. Dave: That’s not control. That’s denial. You don’t lose a million dollars gambling and fix the problem by promising to lose less next month. Caller: I love him, but I’m terrified we’ll lose everything. We’re almost 70, and I don’t know how to get through to him. Dave: He needs professional addiction treatment immediately. You need to protect whatever money you have left, and he needs to stop gambling completely. Caller: What if he refuses to get help? Dave: Then you have to be prepared to leave. You cannot save someone from an addiction when they refuse to admit they have a problem. And you cannot sacrifice your entire financial future trying. Caller: So I have to choose between my marriage and protecting myself? Dave: He’s the one making that choice every time he gambles. You’re not responsible for his addiction, and you don’t have to let it destroy the rest of your life.

Glen Powell says he puked inside a Navy jet while filming Top Gun, only for the pilot to flip the plane upside down and send his vomit flying straight back into his face “I didn't want to embarrass myself in front of this naval aviator. These guys are tough, they're cool. I'm the actor in the back of the plane.” “As I'm violently puking in this bag, I hear him say, ‘Well, buddy, if you're ready to rock and roll, let's rock and roll.’ Then he inverts the plane.” “I'm looking at the ground, and the puke that I just puked is being puked back into my face.” “I don't think we're going to make a sequel because of this reason. It's probably just me.”

Glenn Powell says Tom Cruise pushed him to skydive solo, and when he couldn't find his parachute tab mid freefall, he thought Tom had just killed him. “Tom hit me up a couple weeks later and was like, ‘Hey man, like, what are you scared?’” “Tom's only request was that I couldn't go skydiving with another person. I had to go solo the first time.” “My first thought was like, ‘Oh, Tom just killed me.’” “I'm looking for the tab and I'm like, ‘You're not Tom Cruise. You'll never be Tom Cruise. Why did you do this?’” “I finally pulled it. It was way below altitude. Came in hot. Made it. Went back up, did it again.”

Miles Teller says he broke out in hives after a flight while filming Top Gun: Maverick, and was shocked to discover he had flame retardant, pesticides, and jet fuel in his blood. Tom Cruise’s response was priceless. “I landed, we got done, and I was like, ‘Man, I’m not feeling too good.’ I was really hot, and I just started itching like crazy. I get out of the jet, and I’m covered in hives. Like, head to toe.” “My blood work comes back and I have flame retardant, pesticides, and jet fuel in my blood.” “I told Tom, ‘Well, Tom, it turns out I have jet fuel in my blood.’ Without even skipping a beat, Tom just goes, ‘Yeah, I was born with it, kid.’” “I thought, wait a second, this is actually kind of cool. And it was ,there’s your Top Gun. That was a very Tom moment for me.”

Caller: Dave, my wife graduates dental school in May. We owe $750,000 in student loans, plus I have another $40,000 in consumer debt. Where do we even start? Dave: You two don't understand how bad this is yet. Her debt is double what it should have been for that degree. Caller: We were told dentists make good money and can handle it. Dave: That's the trap. Dentists carry this stuff for 20 years and call it normal. It's not normal. It's a mess you made, and you have to own that. Caller: Okay. So what do we do? Dave: You live like absolute poor people. Rice, beans, no vacations, no new anything. Caller: How long are we talking? Dave: You're about to make $300,000 to $400,000 a year combined. Live like this and throw everything at the debt, and you can be done in about three years. Caller: And if we don't? Dave: Then you're paying on this until your kids are in college. Three years of misery, or twenty years of payments.
