Speaker 1 (00:00):
For many people, making six figures a year is a
huge deal.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Yeah, yeah, it should be.

Speaker 1 (00:06):
Brook and Jeffrey in the morning. But what about making
six times that amount, six hundred grand salary every year?

Speaker 2 (00:15):
I accept you, how would that feel?

Speaker 1 (00:18):
Well, you're not going to do that unless you work
at Walmart. Not even joking, because a spokesperson just announced
they're doing company wide pay raises and I was mind
blown at the actual numbers because I didn't know this.
Do you know what the average starting salary of a
Walmart store manager is? The storage manager? I mean, I

(00:39):
would guess maybe one hundred, one hundred and twenty eight
thousand dollars a year starting. Meanwhile, for market managers who
oversee multiple stores, their take homes going from three hundred
grand up to four hundred and twenty k a year
on the low end, they say, the high end, after

(01:01):
bonuses incentives, it's going up to six hundred and twenty
thousand dollars a year.

Speaker 3 (01:06):
Okay, what's up, girl, I work at Walmart. Yeah, seriously,
though it sounds different now.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
I mean, how long does it take you to reach
that level? If you're really good at your jobs? Possible
to do it in probably seven years, but I bet
some of our listeners could get that done five weeks tops.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
Yeah, that's right of the bottom. Work your way up
and then Walmart Green.

Speaker 4 (01:26):
You're to share the wealth with us since we gave
you the information.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
It's so funny because when I was in high school
and when I didn't want to study, my parents would
come to my room and threaten me, like, Jeff, you
want to end up working at Walmart?

Speaker 2 (01:38):
Is that what you want? Kind kind of wish I had,
do you know what?

Speaker 1 (01:42):
My mom would say, Honey, that would be a great job.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
Yeah, no matter where you are.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
My dad was like, I don't care if you're a
janetor but just be the best janitor in the.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
World's so sweet.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
Oh, different upbringings, but anyway, let you moved.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
To this day.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
Anyway, Let's get to the shock collar quite another day
with the man who would never accept a pay raise.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
He would gladly take a pay cut so that Brooke.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Could get another fifty grand amid. He's just that type
of man. Digital jake, doing it for the love of the.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
Job, learning stuff about myself.

Speaker 4 (02:17):
I guess well, you guys, On this day in seventeen
eighty nine, history was made there was a man with
a powdered wig, wooden teeth and silicone butt.

Speaker 5 (02:29):
Implants was elected the first president of the United States,
mister George Washington. No, I'm pretty sure he was elected.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
Hose oh Man whut wood back.

Speaker 5 (02:41):
George famously said he could never tell a lie, and
thanks to him, no American president or politician has lied
ever since. You know, but how much do you really
know about our past commanders in chiefs? We'll find out
today in a special poetis or bogus edition of.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Plenty of twenty.

Speaker 5 (03:06):
I say a number one through twenty, I'll tell you
a fun fact about a former president.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
You have to decide if it's potus or bogus.

Speaker 5 (03:13):
Okay, we'll start with the first lady of cropped clothing.
That's Alexis. How about a number alexis ten? Alexis the
thirteenth President. Millard Fillmore had a bathtub installed in the
White House, one of the first to be in any
US president's residence, and it was a massive, handbuilt four
person soaky still to this day, hot tub enthusiast credit

(03:38):
Fillmore with the.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
Idea of group bathing. Is this true or did I
make it up? Motus or bogus? Thirteen presidents.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
They got a bathtub in there. They're real stinky, real
stinky for a long time.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
It's bogus, Alexis says, bogus.

Speaker 5 (03:56):
That is.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
Yeah, groupe bathing.

Speaker 5 (04:00):
Millard Fillmore credited with that.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
Crazy that.

Speaker 4 (04:07):
His name is Phil Moore, like Philmore.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (04:10):
Okay, let's go Umber nine Brooks sixteenth.

Speaker 5 (04:13):
President Abraham Lincoln was a champion wrestler in his youth,
reportedly winning over three hundred matches. That fact is well known.
But did you know he did the splits while delivering
the Gettysburg address.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
No, it was a lost speech.

Speaker 5 (04:28):
And he drafted it a little bit to stretch it out.
Is that potus or bogus?

Speaker 4 (04:33):
I know this is from Jake's imagination because he wants
that to be what happens.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
I squhere, there's video footage of Lincoln bending and snapping.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
I'm imagining it. That is, Brooks said, that's bogus.

Speaker 5 (04:49):
That is easy. We're talking real or fake presidential facts. Jose,
it's your turn. Okay, let's go for seventh. President Andrew
Jackson had a pet parrot named Paul that was known
for swearing so much it had to be removed from
his funeral service to avoid causing a scene. Jose, is

(05:10):
that potus or bogus?

Speaker 3 (05:13):
Well, I've heard, I've seen viral videos of parents that
like their owners.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (05:20):
I think that presidents swear a lot behind closed doors.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
It hurt a lot.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
I think this is true, Jose said, this is true.
It is swearing.

Speaker 5 (05:31):
Parent.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
Jeffrey, it's your turn, number one.

Speaker 5 (05:35):
Thomas Jefferson is credited with bringing many foods back from Europe,
including mac and cheese, ice cream, and French fries.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
All the best stuff but a little known fact he wants.

Speaker 5 (05:44):
Attempted to send home a bag of croissants, but when
they arrived, they were just crumbs. He then declared, I
will find a more resilient pastry. Is that true?

Speaker 1 (05:53):
Did?

Speaker 2 (05:53):
I may cut ups and first food.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
This is like when Alexis was a driver for door
Dash and people would get their orders and it was
mostly crumbs.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
By the time.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
It is exactly what's careful not to get caught, and
it was mostly milkshakes.

Speaker 4 (06:08):
I drink.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
You don't want to.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
You're sharing this, obviously it could work side.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
The fry would be so much better.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
She's making sure it's not too watery by the time
gets there. She's always doing the melted part on the time.
This definitely happened, because there's no way a croissant could
travel across the entire ocean without somebody wanting to like
get a little bit out of it, because it just
got kammy and psychey and fell apart because someone ate it.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
Somebody ate it. Jeffery said that Potus. That's true.

Speaker 5 (06:41):
That is Jefferson would never have croissants went back to
brook Brook. The sixth President, John Quincy Adams, was an
early riser. He was known to swim nude in the
Potomac River every morning, even during his presidency. Is that
potus or both?

Speaker 4 (06:59):
Oh yeah, Adam, give me real Potus?

Speaker 5 (07:03):
True, Jose, We're down to you. If you get this wrong,
I'm gonna wind Jose. During one of Thomas Jefferson's European visits,
he rented a pet giraffe that he used for diplomatic
missions to quote impress the French. Is that potus or bogus?

Speaker 3 (07:18):
Did you ride a giraffe into like a conference?

Speaker 2 (07:21):
Also? If this was true, though, I think we would
know him as.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
Girafferson's like he would have been iconic. But I do
feel like people buy used to buy, especially more back
then before they're protected exotic animals.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
So I think this is potus. Jose said, this is potus.
It is I wanted it to be. Brook has won
today's edition.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
Of So Brook you get to choose who get shocked
while singing peaches by presidents of the United States of America.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
But I love this song, sing it. I do want
to sing it. I don't want a Lexus to seeing it.
Shut know it and she'll ruin it. Will give it
to Jose.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
Jose, here you go, move into the country to eat
a lot of beaches, peaches from cal.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
Paches by a man.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
Come on, you guys, that is your chocollar question of
the day. Got your phone tap coming up in just
a few minutes. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
