Oops! On Live with Kelly and Mark on Thursday, Mark Consuelos was reminded of someone close to he and Kelly Ripa as he read that “one in three think using cash doesn’t count as spending money.”

“We have three kids, I know which one we’re talking about,” he quipped.

Ripa agreed, but clarified that “it’s the reverse.”

“Said child says, ‘It didn’t cost any money because I put it right on my phone,'” she explained.

However Ripa, who has two sons and a daughter with Consuelos, accidentally let a key descriptor slip when referring to the mysterious “said child.”

“She goes, ‘Click, click!'” Ripa teased, as she realized that she had just inadvertently identified the child as her daughter Lola with the word “she.”

Consuelos eventually noted that “Baby Boomers and Gen Xers are twice as likely to rarely carry cash.”

“We’re Gen Xers by the way,” he told Ripa, adding that she “got very angry with [him] the other day” when he told her this.

Ripa insisted that they are “not Gen Xers,” but was proven wrong by a chart defining Generation X as those born between 1965 and 1980. Nonetheless, she claimed that she is “the only person that carries cash” in their house.

“The most insufferable thing is if we go out to dinner,” she shared. “So you know, me, I always travel around with my backpack, which has everything in it. So [if] we go out to dinner, I always carry like a little, fancy evening bag, like something that holds a lipstick and my phone. And I’ll turn to you and I say, ‘Should I bring cash?’ And you always say, ‘No, I got it.'”

She continued, “And then sure enough, we get there, and there’s a coat check, or there’s a bathroom attendant, or there’s a thing. And he’ll lean in and say, ‘Do you have any cash?'”

Consuelos concluded that “moving forward, the answer’s always yes, carry cash.”

“When you say, ‘do you want me to carry cash,’ say sure. Don’t ask, just bring it,” he added, earning himself a round of applause. “Because I will fail you every time. I’ll fail you, so in order to stop running a 40-yard dash in a 10-yard gym. That way you’ll feel better.”

After Ripa asked for an explanation, Consuelos said that “if you’re constantly running the 40-yard dash in a 20-yard gym, it’s like smashing your head against the wall.”

Ripa replied, “You have just explained how I feel perfectly, using a sports metaphor I’m still not sure I understand. That’s very funny.”

Consuelos noted, “Now you get it,” to which Ripa teased, “Ish!”
