There's a time and a place for a snuggle, and
there's a time and a placer. There's a time and
a place for interlocked finger or hand holding. It doesn't
have to be a type of like just like just
sort of like holding fingers, Like if I hold you
the ends of your fingers, that's not cupping necessarily, that's
just I don't know.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
The ends of my fingers.
Speaker 1 (00:37):

I get too hot?
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:53):
No, you all make me seem colder than I am.
I'm not a cold human being. Hot. I'm hot. That's
the problem. That's exactly what the issue is of hot
in Bennes's. I've everyone been saying all over the Apps.
Hot Frett's hot in bed. They're not talking about my
moves either. Jason, this was not a good week. O,

win loss statistic of two out of thirteen.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Oh are you sure? It's not like I got thirteen
right and too wrong?
Speaker 2 (01:54):
And sadly, one of the picks I think is one
of the games that already happened. And he finally listened
to you and like looked up the result when we
pick the next day, so I don't even know one.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Of the height already had taken place when they picked it.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Yeah, the Charge, Oh wow, Yeah, yeah, he wrote the
charges for someone.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
You know what, I'm gonna let this one go this
week because you were traveling. Yeah, you were on assignment game, right,
you didn't have time because you were in Miami. You're
hanging out with you know, the big celebrities down there,
So I know you had other things going on and
you weren't able to really sit down and do the
normal kind of research that you do for these.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Correct And I was also like my head was filled
with basketball because I was learning so much about the
Miami Heat while I was there. I see, yeah, I
got to walk, I got to touch their trophies.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
You did have the golden trophies. They had golden trophies. Yeah, yeah,
I believe you're called the naysmith. Maybe that's not right.
Sounds right to me.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
A championship they have a carpeted hallway that leads to
the trophies.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
It's very boochefus. Why were you in the Miami Heat
locker room? No, I need to go in the locker room.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
But the show I was working took place at the
place that they played the basketball the Larry O'Brien Championship.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
You guys want to know about the Parsley, But yes,

And you said he and his luscious hair will score
one time, but also.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
A bye week, So you didn't get my leg.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Do two teams have a bye week at the same time?
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Well, who are they going to be bye with?
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Oh that's a different question, different question whoever they'd like. Okay,
it's an exclusive world. They can do whatever they want.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
No judgment here.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
So I need to look at five weeks. You look
at figure that out.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
You need to look at AI picking these, You need
to look at GPT subscriptions is what you need to
look at. You might need that two hundred dollars. When
I was talking about.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Last someone you know, give me the subscription. I like
basketball now though, so okay, God.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
I can't wait to go through all those There's like
eighty seven games at night, so that'll be good.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
I want to hear you talk about the gambling ring. Yeah,
oh my gosh, it was Yeah, that was the news
is a movie?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Did that sets you back? I know you've been playing
in those poker games with.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Those got indicted this week other Yeah, it was terrible.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
You weren't really at Miami, you were in prison. Yeah.
Airports are feeling the effects of the government shutdown around
the country. They continue to experience delays since the federal
government shutdown continued. Several groundstops were issued yesterday Newark, Boston, LA.
Other airports were affected as well. The Transportation Secretary says
that there were more than twenty incidents of air traffic
controller shortages on Saturday. Flight Awhear's website, so there were
(04:57):
more than five hundred US flight delays on Saturday alone.
Air traffic controllers continue to work without pay during the shutdown,
so many are calling on sick to work other jobs.
Shout out to all the air traffic controllers. We got
to have you very important job. I'm sorry that you're
not getting paid. You're gonna get some monster checks when
this whole thing's over, just monsters, just big, whopping huge.
You're gonna be so rich. Forget about the fact that
(05:19):
you haven't been able to, you know, pay your bills
adequately for the last couple of months. You're gonna be rich.
It's like when the check hits on Friday, but the
direct deposit doesn't come out till, like, you know, Sunday
night or Monday, so all weekend you're like, yeah, baby,
I got I got big dough, but you don't because
well I have no dough because they have they haven't
pulled all the bills out yet. But we love your
(05:39):
air traffic controllers and many of you who are working
well not getting paid right now. There is a TikTok
deal and it will be finalized on Thursday, apparently, and
apparently China is aware of it because they'll be involved
in the final finalizing of the deal. So that's good
because the deal is being finalized in China, so I'm
assuming that they're aware now of whatever we came up
with for this The deal was first announced last month
(06:01):
when Trump, our president, signaled an order allowing TikTok to
keep operating in the US under a new setup with
American investors. So that's all being finalized. Then, French police
have two suspects in custody who say that they're linked
to last weekend's Crown jewel heights at the Louver Museum.
Authorities tracked down the suspects using their DNA. One man
(06:23):
was arrested at Charles Sigaull Airport in Paris while trying
to leave the country. I hope he wasn't trying to
fly to New York and there was an air traffic
controller to lay and that's why there weren't air traffic controllers.
They had to sit there for a while. They came
and got him. I don't know where he was going.
Another guy went to his house I guess in some
Parisian suburb where both men were from. Dozens of investigators
had been involved in chasing down at least four suspects
(06:44):
who targeted the Louvers Apollo Gallery and a brazen daylight raid.
Fleeing with jewelry were tens of millions in a matter
of minutes, local authorities saved at least two other suspects
remained at large. It's unclear if any of the jewels
were recovered. So can you imagine, and that'd be something
I would do. You know. I watch a lot of
well yeah, yeah, yeah, I watch a lot of Dayline,
(07:07):
a lot of you know, forty eight Hours Mystery, Yes,
a lot of Twenty twenty. You know, I don't like
twenty twenty as much because it's really more just David
Mirror being David Mirror. I'm sexy, hot, yeah, yeah, he
takes himself very it's very serious. I don't know, oh,
very very serious this guy. But nonetheless, I feel like
(07:30):
I would commit the perfect crime until I like drooled
on something accidentally, you know, because I like was too
busy thinking of my perfect crime forgot to swallow drool.
Do you ever do that? Do you ever forget to swallow?
Speaker 3 (07:41):
I forget to breathe?
Speaker 5 (07:42):
I did do.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Sometimes I feel like I would sneeze somewhere, I would
do something or it would be perfect. Then I'd go,
you know what I haven't had in a while, a cigarette,
Let's celebrate, and then I you know, I don't know,
it's like, oh, I would do something. I would do
one thing. I would do one thing that was just stupid,
you know, like the whole thing would be perfectly planned out,
and then I'd get cocky and I'd make one wrong
move and they'd be showing up at my Parisian suburban
(08:05):
house and arresting me, like they got DNA off of
a helmet. I guess now, granted, I'm not throwing things
I wore, you know, I'm keeping everything. I'm taking it
with me. But I guess these dudes, like they got
DNA off is something that they left behind, you know.
That's something I would do, just something ridiculous, and then
I'd be in jail.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
I feel like it's like the Roaring twenties, Like is
prohibition coming back like this?
Speaker 3 (08:28):
I don't know, like a.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Jewel heist really the mafia, like a gamble we got
poker games.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
It feels very weird. Great depression. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Well, and now we have a penny shortage because we
don't make pennies anymore. The penny shortage is affecting retailerzation wide.
I never really thought about this, but I guess this
is an issue. I don't know who's still using pennies.
My grandfather died sadly many years ago. He was the
guy who always had perfect change in his pocket. He
was the only guy that I know and my and
(08:57):
my nana had a little change purse. They were the
old people. I knew that if the bill was twenty
one dollars and seventeen cents, they somehow had the seventeen
cents or my grandfather would make he would do it
in his head so that he got dollar bills back.
Oh yeah, he'd do the thing where it was like,
you're supposed to get eighty six cents, but I'll give
you fourteen and then you give me a dollar back.
(09:18):
He'd do this off the flow, on the fly. It
was incredible. I don't know where he got this mathematical ability,
because I don't have it.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
I still use change because they give it back to
they give me cash to the dispensary. That's the only
time I ever get it. And sometimes it's not even
I get changed. So I still do this too. Really, Yeah, okay,
rounded up?
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Why don't she goes to get right checks together?
Speaker 3 (09:37):
No, I don't have a checkbook that I would never
get show.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
But Shelley's a check writer. She likes to write. Check.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
No, we're not doing that. My astra has like in
my car has a ton of like change in any
drifts all the time. Okay, seven nif pennies in there. Yeah,
so anyway, well there's a short. There's two hundred and
fifty billion pennies in circulation. I guess that's not enough
because we don't make anymore as of August. Here's what
to expect when paying cash with that penny. Some stores
are rounding the total to benefit the customer, and others
(10:02):
are saying we don't expect correct change. If you have
a stash, go ahead and spend those pennies. Oh okay,
so I don't get rid of them. My guess.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Le Boo Boo will be on a float at the
Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Is that exciting? Which one the
macy Thanksgiving Day Parade? I don't know them all? The
viral live It says the viral La Boo Boo character,
just as the will be among the new editions at
the ninety ninth annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Pop Mart,
(10:33):
the Chinese company, says Lab Booboo will be featured on
its Friends Giving in Pop City Float, along with many
of each other characters, Skull Panda and Peach Riot. La
Boobo is certainly having a moment with people forking over
thousands to get their hands on one of these dolls.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
So I love this.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
I might be going, well, maybe we'll see. You're going
to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
I'm trying to sell new traditions. You're going to Detroit
for things give No, that's not happening, but I want
to go. No, but I want to go to New
York just for that.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
I want to bring my daughter and like just have
her watch the parade and then go home after.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
You guys know hype about Thanksgiving, Like I'm not, I'm
in no rush.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Well that's just because you were always deprived of good
Thanksgiving food because your mom was an immigrant and didn't
know how to make it. That's you. You need to
go to someone's house who knows, like a pilgrim, how
to make you need to go to a pilgrim's house, Okay,
and they know what's up. You know. They need to
go to someone's house who really takes his like our
friend Tony Coles. You know who, Tony Tony Cole's is
a suit in this company. He's probably the only suit
(11:29):
I like who I adore. Okay, this man, though, has
been preparing for Thanksgiving since the summer. It takes him
like an entire weekend to make the gravy and then
he freezes in like this guy is. It's extremely serious.
I think he makes the pies like me, Oh, this
is this is like his thing. Everybody knows Thanksgiving is
(11:49):
his thing, and he's ready and he's never one time
invited me to come over there. But I can imagine
the food is stellar, because if you're making gravy for
a whole weekend months in advance to me, make sure
that it's like perfect chein or whatever, then you got it.
You know, you need to go to Tony Cole's house
for Thanksgiving. I'm sure. I'm sure he'd love to have you.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
I would love to go.
Speaker 6 (12:08):
I need experience a good Thanksgiving for once in my life,
just a good one.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
But I always I see that Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade
on TV, and I think that's that's that looks okay,
But like that, that is not what I would want
to do on Thanksgiving morning. Like I'm not waking up
at five in the morning and get on a train
with a million other people to go to the city
and then like you know, have to be cold, and
then and then watch these things, you know, down go
(12:32):
down the road. That's that is an experience for television.
You can very easily just watch on TV and everything
is I can't imagine it's that much better in person.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
It probably isn't.
Speaker 6 (12:41):
But I want to give it a trib I always
wanted to do that and one year not now. But
I want to see the ball drop too. I know
that's going to be a horrible, horrible thing. I'm going
to wear a diaper.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
You basically have to No, yeah, you got to be
out there all day if you want to get like
a good.
Speaker 6 (12:55):
Vehicle trench coad just like drinks in there, oh, I
have to with like pockets.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
See that's another one that doesn't look like fun to
me or And I understand, you know, I certainly understand
saving money, but eating Thanksgiving dinner and then going and
getting a line at Target to go wrestle someone for
a flat screen TV like that also doesn't sound it.
And again, you can save a lot of money, I
understand that, but like then if I'm doing that, then
we're not eating Thanksgiving dinner, you know, like we're just
we're having like taco bell or something or maybe not
(13:22):
that if I have to go wait in line, we're
having something else soup, but I'm not going to eat
an entire Thanksgiving meal. And then like all right, put
on your Parka, let's go wait in line so we
can get the switch to.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
You know, it's online now you don't have to do that.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Yeah, that's true, that's true, But that's not that's not happening. Cohler.
I want to you guys think it is they're trending
today that they make the bathroom fixtures no strangers to
the bathroom, but it has historically provided ways for people
to deal with their weights not analyzed. But now the
company is venturing into the world of personal health tech
with the Dakota, which is a device that clamps to
(13:58):
the rim of your toilet and will analyze the contents
of your toilet bowl with Health in Mind six hundred bucks.
It's a poopcam. Basically, it will use discrete optics to
track the frequency, consistency, and shape of your waist, scan
for blood in the bowel, and evacuate evaluate rather your
(14:18):
hydration levels based on your urine. And then there's a
subscription seventy bucks a year if you want to use
this thing, So six hundred bucks for the little device
and it clamps onto your toilet seed and then sixty
bucks a year or one hundred and thirty bucks annually
for up to five members or roommates. So then we
can all log in and look at our you know,
what's going on with that stuff. You can review that
(14:38):
your health trends, daily summaries on the Cooler Health app.
They say that there's no way that the censors would
be able to sense anything but what's in the toilet bowl,
because I can see this going awrye too, which it's
like a camera staring up at my ugly butt and
I can't have that. But lord knows, if people could
take pictures of their button share them, they would, because
(14:59):
now you know, people are buying crap with cameras attached
to everything. Yes, I just like what I see, uh
Mark Zuckerberg yesterday on some video. These new meta there's
like a newer version of the ray band metaglasses. Those
are cool. And then you wear like you wear like
a wristband and then the glasses and then like you
basically just walk around and move your arms around and
(15:22):
it does everything. Like you know, if you want to
turn the volume up on your music, then you actually
like just twist a knob. I would think maybe someone
was having a seizure or like maybe somebody was like
dealing with some kind of issue. If I saw people
just walking around just twisting knobs and they're warning knobs there,
I mean, I'm worried. But like, how hard is it
just to turn the knob up on it, you know,
click on the thing. Yeah, I don't know. But why
(15:44):
do we have to record everything? I mean, this is interesting.
I guess the older you get, the more you pay
attention to stuff like that. Yeah, do this, don't do
make sure health knowledge? You can't tell me that you maybe,
like when I was younger, I didn't. But now, like
when when that event occurs, been a rare occasion because
you know, it's just very dust. It just disappears into
(16:05):
the ether. When number two, but when I do I
do evaluate? Now? Oh yeah, I take. I mean, like
I can. I'm proud of myself. If it's like there's
certain characteristics that we're looking for, you know, if you're
well hydrated and you've eaten enough fiber and like you're
you're eating well, then it's supposed to look a certain
way and you're like, I did it. Same with urine.
(16:26):
If your urine's clearer, that's good, yeah, you know, but
if it's not, it's like what am I doing? You know?
And drinking enough water today? This is the kind of
stuff that people do that when they get older. You guys,
you guys do this all the time.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
If I have a ghost poop, I like, I'm so
proud of myself. That is them. We don't talk about that.
She's she's for clemps.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
I did. We don't talk about that enough.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
You know, when you look down there's nothing there, but
you know you did work.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Yeah, yeah, I need to understand the science of that
because I agree with I don't know, but I don't
I don't know why. No, it's the best.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Yeah. I guess it means like you ate like the
fiber and all that, and it literally yeah away and
it's till it was smooth.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
I don't know her.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
I think I think it has more to do with
the buoyancy or like the bi content anyway, whatever. And finally,
one more poop story for you. A Sharman is making
headlines again with a colossal Forever roll. It's a seventeen
hundred sheet toilet paper roll the company claims is big
enough to last an entire month, and tall enough, if unspooled,
to rival the Washington Monument. It was first of novelty.
(17:27):
Now apparently you can buy this thirty three ninety nine.
You have to have a coupon too, which lets you
get two Forever rolls and a special stand because you
would need it, because it's like, and you guys can't
see this at home, but it's like this big round.
It's ugly. It's now how hard it gets to replace
a little one that's on there. Just replace a little
one that's on there. Yeah, the built in I don't
(17:47):
need it's it's huge. It's ugly. It's like if I
saw that in someone's house, I'd be like, are you okay?
Like why do you need that much? Right now? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (17:56):
Like at one time, I mean, I I mean I
want it just to have it.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Since I made need it, I don't need that much more.
A special holder for this thing. It's National black Cat
Day and national Cranky Co Workers Day, which is me
before six am most days, so
Right, the biggest stories of the day boy texting. It's
called snuggling. Fred, Yes, I'm aware. I don't have a
problem with a snuggle. It's just a time and a
place for a snuggle.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
You saying that word, don't don't get him started on
handholding either.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
You guys are gonna be shook.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
There's a time and a place for a snuggle, and
there's a time and a placer. There's a time and
a place for interlocked finger or hand holding. It doesn't

Speaker 3 (00:35):
The ends of my fingers.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
No, like this, like if I grat, like if I'm
walking whatever, I think that's kind of a g handhold.
That's kind of like come on, come hither, Come here,
Come here, girl. You know, let's not snuggle later. Could
I get too hot?
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:53):
No, you all make me seem colder than I am.
I'm not a cold human being. Hot. I'm hot. That's
the problem. That's exactly what the issue is of hot
in Bennes's. I've everyone been saying all over the Apps.
Hot Frett's hot in bed. They're not talking about my
moves either. Jason, this was not a good week. O,
this was not a good week. No, let me go
(01:15):
through who won and who lost, and then we'll tell
you how Jason's picks did. Overall Chargers over the Vikings,
Jets over the Bengals, Ravens over the Bears, Dolphins over
the Falcons, Patriots over the Browns, Broncos over the Cowboys,
Packers over the Steelers, Colts over the Titans, Buccaneers over
the Saints, Bills over the Panthers, Texans over the four
(01:35):
nine Ers, Eagles over the Giants, and tonight the Commanders
and the Chiefs. And Jason, your picks resulted in a
win loss statistic of two out of thirteen.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Oh are you sure? It's not like I got thirteen
right and too wrong?
Speaker 2 (01:54):
And sadly, one of the picks I think is one
of the games that already happened. And he finally listened
to you and like looked up the result when we
pick the next day, so I don't even know one.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Of the height already had taken place when they picked it.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Yeah, the Charge, Oh wow, Yeah, yeah, he wrote the
charges for someone.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
You know what, I'm gonna let this one go this
week because you were traveling. Yeah, you were on assignment game, right,
you didn't have time because you were in Miami. You're
hanging out with you know, the big celebrities down there,
So I know you had other things going on and
you weren't able to really sit down and do the
normal kind of research that you do for these.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Correct And I was also like my head was filled
with basketball because I was learning so much about the
Miami Heat while I was there. I see, yeah, I
got to walk, I got to touch their trophies.

A championship they have a carpeted hallway that leads to
the trophies.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
It's very boochefus. Why were you in the Miami Heat

Do two teams have a bye week at the same time?
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Well, who are they going to be bye with?
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Oh that's a different question, different question whoever they'd like. Okay,
it's an exclusive world. They can do whatever they want.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
No judgment here.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
So I need to look at five weeks. You look
at figure that out.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
You need to look at AI picking these, You need
to look at GPT subscriptions is what you need to
look at. You might need that two hundred dollars. When
I was talking about.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Last someone you know, give me the subscription. I like
basketball now though, so okay, God.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
I can't wait to go through all those There's like
eighty seven games at night, so that'll be good.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
I want to hear you talk about the gambling ring. Yeah,
oh my gosh, it was Yeah, that was the news
is a movie?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Did that sets you back? I know you've been playing
in those poker games with.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Those got indicted this week other Yeah, it was terrible.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
You weren't really at Miami, you were in prison. Yeah.
Airports are feeling the effects of the government shutdown around
the country. They continue to experience delays since the federal
government shutdown continued. Several groundstops were issued yesterday Newark, Boston, LA.
Other airports were affected as well. The Transportation Secretary says
that there were more than twenty incidents of air traffic
controller shortages on Saturday. Flight Awhear's website, so there were
(04:57):
more than five hundred US flight delays on Saturday alone.
Air traffic controllers continue to work without pay during the shutdown,
so many are calling on sick to work other jobs.
Shout out to all the air traffic controllers. We got
to have you very important job. I'm sorry that you're
not getting paid. You're gonna get some monster checks when
this whole thing's over, just monsters, just big, whopping huge.
You're gonna be so rich. Forget about the fact that
(05:19):
you haven't been able to, you know, pay your bills
adequately for the last couple of months. You're gonna be rich.
It's like when the check hits on Friday, but the
direct deposit doesn't come out till, like, you know, Sunday
night or Monday, so all weekend you're like, yeah, baby,
I got I got big dough, but you don't because
well I have no dough because they have they haven't
pulled all the bills out yet. But we love your
(05:39):
air traffic controllers and many of you who are working
well not getting paid right now. There is a TikTok
deal and it will be finalized on Thursday, apparently, and
apparently China is aware of it because they'll be involved
in the final finalizing of the deal. So that's good
because the deal is being finalized in China, so I'm
assuming that they're aware now of whatever we came up
with for this The deal was first announced last month
(06:01):
when Trump, our president, signaled an order allowing TikTok to
keep operating in the US under a new setup with
American investors. So that's all being finalized. Then, French police
have two suspects in custody who say that they're linked
to last weekend's Crown jewel heights at the Louver Museum.
Authorities tracked down the suspects using their DNA. One man
(06:23):
was arrested at Charles Sigaull Airport in Paris while trying
to leave the country. I hope he wasn't trying to
fly to New York and there was an air traffic
controller to lay and that's why there weren't air traffic controllers.
They had to sit there for a while. They came
and got him. I don't know where he was going.
Another guy went to his house I guess in some
Parisian suburb where both men were from. Dozens of investigators
had been involved in chasing down at least four suspects
(06:44):
who targeted the Louvers Apollo Gallery and a brazen daylight raid.
Fleeing with jewelry were tens of millions in a matter
of minutes, local authorities saved at least two other suspects
remained at large. It's unclear if any of the jewels
were recovered. So can you imagine, and that'd be something
I would do. You know. I watch a lot of
well yeah, yeah, yeah, I watch a lot of Dayline,
(07:07):
a lot of you know, forty eight Hours Mystery, Yes,
a lot of Twenty twenty. You know, I don't like
twenty twenty as much because it's really more just David
Mirror being David Mirror. I'm sexy, hot, yeah, yeah, he
takes himself very it's very serious. I don't know, oh,
very very serious this guy. But nonetheless, I feel like
(07:30):
I would commit the perfect crime until I like drooled
on something accidentally, you know, because I like was too
busy thinking of my perfect crime forgot to swallow drool.
Do you ever do that? Do you ever forget to swallow?
Speaker 3 (07:41):
I forget to breathe?
Speaker 5 (07:42):
I did do.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Sometimes I feel like I would sneeze somewhere, I would
do something or it would be perfect. Then I'd go,
you know what I haven't had in a while, a cigarette,
Let's celebrate, and then I you know, I don't know,
it's like, oh, I would do something. I would do
one thing. I would do one thing that was just stupid,
you know, like the whole thing would be perfectly planned out,
and then I'd get cocky and I'd make one wrong
move and they'd be showing up at my Parisian suburban
(08:05):
house and arresting me, like they got DNA off of
a helmet. I guess now, granted, I'm not throwing things
I wore, you know, I'm keeping everything. I'm taking it
with me. But I guess these dudes, like they got
DNA off is something that they left behind, you know.
That's something I would do, just something ridiculous, and then
I'd be in jail.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
I feel like it's like the Roaring twenties, Like is
prohibition coming back like this?
Speaker 3 (08:28):
I don't know, like a.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Jewel heist really the mafia, like a gamble we got
poker games.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
It feels very weird. Great depression. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Well, and now we have a penny shortage because we
don't make pennies anymore. The penny shortage is affecting retailerzation wide.
I never really thought about this, but I guess this
is an issue. I don't know who's still using pennies.
My grandfather died sadly many years ago. He was the
guy who always had perfect change in his pocket. He
was the only guy that I know and my and
(08:57):
my nana had a little change purse. They were the
old people. I knew that if the bill was twenty
one dollars and seventeen cents, they somehow had the seventeen
cents or my grandfather would make he would do it
in his head so that he got dollar bills back.
Oh yeah, he'd do the thing where it was like,
you're supposed to get eighty six cents, but I'll give
you fourteen and then you give me a dollar back.
(09:18):
He'd do this off the flow, on the fly. It
was incredible. I don't know where he got this mathematical ability,
because I don't have it.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
I still use change because they give it back to
they give me cash to the dispensary. That's the only
time I ever get it. And sometimes it's not even
I get changed. So I still do this too. Really, Yeah, okay,
rounded up?
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Why don't she goes to get right checks together?
Speaker 3 (09:37):
No, I don't have a checkbook that I would never
get show.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
But Shelley's a check writer. She likes to write. Check.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
No, we're not doing that. My astra has like in
my car has a ton of like change in any
drifts all the time. Okay, seven nif pennies in there. Yeah,
so anyway, well there's a short. There's two hundred and
fifty billion pennies in circulation. I guess that's not enough
because we don't make anymore as of August. Here's what
to expect when paying cash with that penny. Some stores
are rounding the total to benefit the customer, and others
(10:02):
are saying we don't expect correct change. If you have
a stash, go ahead and spend those pennies. Oh okay,
so I don't get rid of them. My guess.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Le Boo Boo will be on a float at the
Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Is that exciting? Which one the
macy Thanksgiving Day Parade? I don't know them all? The
viral live It says the viral La Boo Boo character,
just as the will be among the new editions at
the ninety ninth annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Pop Mart,
(10:33):
the Chinese company, says Lab Booboo will be featured on
its Friends Giving in Pop City Float, along with many
of each other characters, Skull Panda and Peach Riot. La
Boobo is certainly having a moment with people forking over
thousands to get their hands on one of these dolls.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
So I love this.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
I might be going, well, maybe we'll see. You're going
to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
I'm trying to sell new traditions. You're going to Detroit
for things give No, that's not happening, but I want
to go. No, but I want to go to New
York just for that.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
I want to bring my daughter and like just have
her watch the parade and then go home after.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
You guys know hype about Thanksgiving, Like I'm not, I'm
in no rush.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Well that's just because you were always deprived of good
Thanksgiving food because your mom was an immigrant and didn't
know how to make it. That's you. You need to
go to someone's house who knows, like a pilgrim, how
to make you need to go to a pilgrim's house, Okay,
and they know what's up. You know. They need to
go to someone's house who really takes his like our
friend Tony Coles. You know who, Tony Tony Cole's is
a suit in this company. He's probably the only suit
(11:29):
I like who I adore. Okay, this man, though, has
been preparing for Thanksgiving since the summer. It takes him
like an entire weekend to make the gravy and then
he freezes in like this guy is. It's extremely serious.
I think he makes the pies like me, Oh, this
is this is like his thing. Everybody knows Thanksgiving is
(11:49):
his thing, and he's ready and he's never one time
invited me to come over there. But I can imagine
the food is stellar, because if you're making gravy for
a whole weekend months in advance to me, make sure
that it's like perfect chein or whatever, then you got it.
You know, you need to go to Tony Cole's house
for Thanksgiving. I'm sure. I'm sure he'd love to have you.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
I would love to go.
Speaker 6 (12:08):
I need experience a good Thanksgiving for once in my life,
just a good one.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
But I always I see that Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade
on TV, and I think that's that's that looks okay,
But like that, that is not what I would want
to do on Thanksgiving morning. Like I'm not waking up
at five in the morning and get on a train
with a million other people to go to the city
and then like you know, have to be cold, and
then and then watch these things, you know, down go
(12:32):
down the road. That's that is an experience for television.
You can very easily just watch on TV and everything
is I can't imagine it's that much better in person.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
It probably isn't.
Speaker 6 (12:41):
But I want to give it a trib I always
wanted to do that and one year not now. But
I want to see the ball drop too. I know
that's going to be a horrible, horrible thing. I'm going
to wear a diaper.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
You basically have to No, yeah, you got to be
out there all day if you want to get like
a good.
Speaker 6 (12:55):
Vehicle trench coad just like drinks in there, oh, I
have to with like pockets.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
See that's another one that doesn't look like fun to
me or And I understand, you know, I certainly understand
saving money, but eating Thanksgiving dinner and then going and
getting a line at Target to go wrestle someone for
a flat screen TV like that also doesn't sound it.
And again, you can save a lot of money, I
understand that, but like then if I'm doing that, then
we're not eating Thanksgiving dinner, you know, like we're just
we're having like taco bell or something or maybe not
(13:22):
that if I have to go wait in line, we're
having something else soup, but I'm not going to eat
an entire Thanksgiving meal. And then like all right, put
on your Parka, let's go wait in line so we
can get the switch to.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
You know, it's online now you don't have to do that.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Yeah, that's true, that's true, But that's not that's not happening. Cohler.
I want to you guys think it is they're trending
today that they make the bathroom fixtures no strangers to
the bathroom, but it has historically provided ways for people
to deal with their weights not analyzed. But now the
company is venturing into the world of personal health tech
with the Dakota, which is a device that clamps to
(13:58):
the rim of your toilet and will analyze the contents
of your toilet bowl with Health in Mind six hundred bucks.
It's a poopcam. Basically, it will use discrete optics to
track the frequency, consistency, and shape of your waist, scan
for blood in the bowel, and evacuate evaluate rather your
(14:18):
hydration levels based on your urine. And then there's a
subscription seventy bucks a year if you want to use
this thing, So six hundred bucks for the little device
and it clamps onto your toilet seed and then sixty
bucks a year or one hundred and thirty bucks annually
for up to five members or roommates. So then we
can all log in and look at our you know,
what's going on with that stuff. You can review that
(14:38):
your health trends, daily summaries on the Cooler Health app.
They say that there's no way that the censors would
be able to sense anything but what's in the toilet bowl,
because I can see this going awrye too, which it's
like a camera staring up at my ugly butt and
I can't have that. But lord knows, if people could
take pictures of their button share them, they would, because
(14:59):
now you know, people are buying crap with cameras attached
to everything. Yes, I just like what I see, uh
Mark Zuckerberg yesterday on some video. These new meta there's
like a newer version of the ray band metaglasses. Those
are cool. And then you wear like you wear like
a wristband and then the glasses and then like you
basically just walk around and move your arms around and
(15:22):
it does everything. Like you know, if you want to
turn the volume up on your music, then you actually
like just twist a knob. I would think maybe someone
was having a seizure or like maybe somebody was like
dealing with some kind of issue. If I saw people
just walking around just twisting knobs and they're warning knobs there,
I mean, I'm worried. But like, how hard is it
just to turn the knob up on it, you know,
click on the thing. Yeah, I don't know. But why
(15:44):
do we have to record everything? I mean, this is interesting.
I guess the older you get, the more you pay
attention to stuff like that. Yeah, do this, don't do
make sure health knowledge? You can't tell me that you maybe,
like when I was younger, I didn't. But now, like
when when that event occurs, been a rare occasion because
you know, it's just very dust. It just disappears into
(16:05):
the ether. When number two, but when I do I
do evaluate? Now? Oh yeah, I take. I mean, like
I can. I'm proud of myself. If it's like there's
certain characteristics that we're looking for, you know, if you're
well hydrated and you've eaten enough fiber and like you're
you're eating well, then it's supposed to look a certain
way and you're like, I did it. Same with urine.
(16:26):
If your urine's clearer, that's good, yeah, you know, but
if it's not, it's like what am I doing? You know?
And drinking enough water today? This is the kind of
stuff that people do that when they get older. You guys,
you guys do this all the time.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
If I have a ghost poop, I like, I'm so
proud of myself. That is them. We don't talk about that.
She's she's for clemps.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
I did. We don't talk about that enough.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
You know, when you look down there's nothing there, but
you know you did work.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Yeah, yeah, I need to understand the science of that
because I agree with I don't know, but I don't
I don't know why. No, it's the best.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Yeah. I guess it means like you ate like the
fiber and all that, and it literally yeah away and
it's till it was smooth.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
I don't know her.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
I think I think it has more to do with
the buoyancy or like the bi content anyway, whatever. And finally,
one more poop story for you. A Sharman is making
headlines again with a colossal Forever roll. It's a seventeen
hundred sheet toilet paper roll the company claims is big
enough to last an entire month, and tall enough, if unspooled,
to rival the Washington Monument. It was first of novelty.
(17:27):
Now apparently you can buy this thirty three ninety nine.
You have to have a coupon too, which lets you
get two Forever rolls and a special stand because you
would need it, because it's like, and you guys can't
see this at home, but it's like this big round.
It's ugly. It's now how hard it gets to replace
a little one that's on there. Just replace a little
one that's on there. Yeah, the built in I don't
(17:47):
need it's it's huge. It's ugly. It's like if I
saw that in someone's house, I'd be like, are you okay?
Like why do you need that much? Right now? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (17:56):
Like at one time, I mean, I I mean I
want it just to have it.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Since I made need it, I don't need that much more.
A special holder for this thing. It's National black Cat
Day and national Cranky Co Workers Day, which is me
before six am most days, so
