Speaker 1 (00:00):
Friend's Biggest stories of the day.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Jason r VP of Sports Reporting. The Oilers of Ontario
won in overtimeon a thrilling Game one over the Panthers
the Florida Panthers in Game one of the Stanley Cup Finals.
Don't mess around with DoorDash, okay No. A DoorDash delivery

(00:24):
turned into a dangerous confrontation with a fifty nine year
old driver named Robert allegedly showed up drunken armed at
a customer's home demanding a tip for a previous delivery.
The customer, whose name is Anthony I got to hear
both sides here, was at his Vancouver, Washington home with
his grandchildren when the driver claimed that his daughter owed
him a tip, despite her already having tipped the guy

(00:44):
via the app. A physical struggle ensued, during which the
customer discovered a gone in the driver's waistband and managed
to disarm him. Doorbell footage captured the incident, which ended
with the driver's arrest on charges including felony harassment DUI
and assault DoorDash. He confirmed that the guy was one
of their drivers and emphasized there's zero tolerance policy for harassment,

(01:05):
stating he was immediately deactivated.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
Well that's good.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
No, I'm glad to hear that, you know, show up
drunk with a guden to someone to tell stuff that
they didn't tip.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
But do you ever think about that?

Speaker 2 (01:14):
Like, I really don't mean to get you know, too
cerebral about it, but that's what I do. If I
order a DoorDash once a day, or I don't know,
even three times a week, that's three different random strangers
at your front door. Let's say you do that times
three times twelve, that's hundreds of people at your door,
strangers that you invited right now. They're supposed to just
touk the thing down and walk away. But god forbid,

(01:35):
you know, you don't act right or you don't tip
enough for something like that. And then this is what
I mean. I this is kind of a one of
one situation. We're not doing stories on this all the time,
but I mean, come on, you may get We got
crazy people out there, and this is a risk we take.
We're risking our lives every time we ordered DoorDash.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
Yeah I need the McDonald's. I'm cool with it. Yeah,
I'm hungover.

Speaker 3 (01:58):
Just tip right right, You know, I guess used to
think about exposing people like starting like a TikTok series
when I used to door dash about like exposing people
that didn't tip, like showing their order, showing their address,
and like, oh this person ordered this, this and this.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
Okay, well this may be why Jason is not doing.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
Anymore frustrating Like how do you sit there and hit
zero dollars?

Speaker 1 (02:17):
That is crazy? Do you know?

Speaker 3 (02:19):
Do you know this guy Robert, Yeah, he was my trainer.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
Yeah, trainer Jason with a firearm in his waistband to
deliver people.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
Yeah, like, don't hit zero and if you're going to
hit zero, then don't order a door dash, go get
it yourself.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
We talked about this before.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
If you get a nice tip, then make sure that
you like actually complete the mission. If you're a door destrap,
I think that's fair, right, you know, if.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
You give clear instructions, because some people give like crazy
instructions that make no sense. But if you give clear instructions,
then yeah they should follow that.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
Okay, for sure, we're on the same page. If you're
into adult entertainment, you know, if you didn't do that
kind of thing, either by yourself or in a group,
you know, whatever it is, then do go to France
because adult entertainment company i Low has blocked users in
France from accessing a number of different sites that are
of interest to most of us in this room at

(03:17):
one point or another, I would say, because it objects
to a new law requiring pornographic sites to verify the
age of their users. So there are actual states in
the United States, by the way, that you can't see
a lot of these sites.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
Places where you go.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
I mean, here you are just you're lonely in the Hilton,
just mine in your own business. You stumble upon a
little entertainment, you're just looking for a little something to do,
and then here it is in this state, you're not
allowed to do it because they have age verification. But
now all of France. How am I supposed to get
randy in France If I don't have a little French
girl with me, you know, I don't know what I'm

(03:51):
supposed to do. According to a new report this morning,
a growing number of tech users believe that AI is
actually God. Oh now feel like they're accessing the secrets
of the universe through chat GPT. Many people have been
dipping their toes into AI by trying chat GPT for
recommendations on places to go, suggestions on DIY repairs, and

(04:14):
to summarize information. But some are really diving into the
deep end. People say that they believe that they see
AI on are treating AI like actual companions.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
Therapists, yes, maybe lovers.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
And even magical spiritual forces. And even if they don't
believe the messages are actually from a religious entity, some
people believe that they are able to speak to God
and angels through chat GPT. The report says that there
are already thousands of people online with spiritual delusions about AI,
with a big ramp up over the past few months.

(04:51):
So that's where all this information's coming from, not the
interwebs or anything.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
It's you're actually talking to God.

Speaker 4 (04:56):
Yeah, maybe not God, but I will say CHATGYPG like
you guys. Now, the info that it provides is so
on point that I'm like, this is something greater than me,
Like this is greater but not God, but it's just
greater than what we know.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
Okay, you know, yeah, I don't know. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
Actually this isn't really worthy of biggest stories of the day,
but it was a little debate and people are talking
about it today. But a Delta flight incident occurred when
a passenger was trying to enjoy his personal air vent
but ended up having an unexpected confrontation. So, despite the
vent being directed solely at him, his seat mate repeatedly
closed it, saying I paid for my seat, not the

(05:34):
communal AC system. The situation escalated then when the seat
mate requested hot water from the flight attendant to warm himself,
using it to pour it on his pulse points while shivering.
Online communities have been buzzing about the incident, one comment
or saying the mental gymnastics this guy had to do
to say, people don't get their way on public transportation.
Wilst I love when people use whilst I don't use

(05:56):
wilds enough, continuing to demand that he gets his way
on public training.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
Expectation. Now, we've talked about who.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
Gets the who gets the arm rest In a three
seat configuration, the middle person gets both armrests the middle seat,
and then you get yours on the left and you
get yours by the window. You get to lean up
on the window. So we agree on that. I would say, okay,
we agree, or we share. You know, someone takes the front,
or someone takes the front and someone takes the back
depending on how big you are where you're sitting. Okay,

(06:25):
who controls the the window shade?

Speaker 1 (06:29):
The window seat? Yeah, I agree.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
I don't think I get to tell you if I'm
in the aisle what to do with the window seat.
And a lot of people these days want the shade down.
In fact, I've been on flights where that most of
the shades are down. That is weird to me. Really,
Why would you not want to look out the window.
It's very clost your phobic.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
No, if I want to sleep, like, I don't need
the big glaring light, you know, but that's only one.
I want to take a nap.

Speaker 4 (06:50):
And now with a baby, if she's sleeping, all the
shades like I will go on the intercom like that
little girl did when she was singing, okay, shades down?

Speaker 1 (06:59):
Okay? Now who controls the air vent?

Speaker 2 (07:02):
You control the one that's over your seat exactly, and
you point it at yourself, right, and that's how that goes, right,
don't we all agree?

Speaker 1 (07:10):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (07:10):
Yes? So if I'm negt So if you're really cold
on the airplane, that's a global issue, like that's something.
If you're actually shivering, it is not that little tiny
little little like elf blowing at you from the ceiling.
That's not what that is. It's the fact that the
pilots have to make the whole airplane warmer or colder.
That's what they You go out the flight attendant and
you say, hey, this is the thing. It's cold or whatever.

(07:32):
But who wants to be hot on a plane?

Speaker 1 (07:34):
Oh gonna say, oh.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
Well, I'm glad that we agree then, because you don't
get to tell them what to do with my vent.
We live in a free world.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
Yeah, people try to put their vent on you or
vice versa.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
Well, I don't know. That's what this guy's saying. Hey,
I'm just reporting the news, Kalan. I don't know what
to tell you.

Speaker 4 (07:50):
I don't use those vents because it just takes air
from all over the plane and blows it in my
face aka everybody's germs.

Speaker 2 (07:55):
So docycle the airline airplane is recycled. It's just like
it goes outside. I'd be filtered.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
I just I'm not messing with it.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
It's not it's not like if I blow into it.
It's like it makes it to you and row twenty
seven C or whatever.

Speaker 4 (08:08):
Since it does.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
Not blowing the.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
Event and it's gonna get to Kayla and it is,
it is, it is, And finally a food story for
you guys. Goldfish is introducing their Awesome Sauce Flavored Crackers.
It basically it's a chicken sandwich flavored cracker. Apparently it's
a new flavor for the summer and it's all about
the sauce. Awesome Sauce Flavored Crackers is sweet, smoky, and tangy,
according to the company, described as being the kind of

(08:35):
sauce that you put on a burger, with notes of
sweet mustard and creamy vinegar with a mild smokiness. You
compare them with the Spicy Deal Pickle Cracker, which are
returning this month, both for a limited time. Have you
had what are they called, like Miss Vicki's or missus
or whatever, the Spicy Deal pickle ones. Hello, you need it,
you need if you haven't had all this pickle stuff

(08:58):
out there. There's a guy on TikTok that reviews all
the pickle stuff too. Yes, it's national and they got
pickle festivals and they got.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
To think called the Big Deal. It's like a pickle festival.
It's a bunch of pickle vendors get together. It gets
cells out every year. Yeah, how do we get to that?
Do you get a pickle corn dog in Disney for me? No?

Speaker 4 (09:15):
But I was looking for her, you know what? Okay,
really quick? I hate TikToker and everybody who wants to
do like food reviews because I don't know where they are,
Like they don't tell you the exact location, like, oh,
it's behind the castle to your left, Like where do
I go for the food?

Speaker 1 (09:29):
So I was missing out on so much.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
Oh yeah, that place is massive. So there's one stand
that has it. Then you could be walking around forever
maybe better like directions. So it's like a fried pickle
on a stick. Okay, I'm here for that.

Speaker 4 (09:40):
That's good.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
Yeah. What was it?

Speaker 2 (09:41):
The old I don't even know if Disneyland has it anymore.
They used to have, like the was the name, Jimmy Crockett.
What was the guy's name, Yeah, Jimmy Crockett.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
What was that?

Speaker 2 (09:50):
What was that guy's name, the Crockett guy, Jimmy Cricket.
It's a whole different thing. It was like it was
like a log cabin village they had. I don't remember
what it was called. You would know what it was
based on. But it was like a log village kind
of area of Disneyland. And within that area you could
get those big pickles that are in the huge jar.

(10:10):
And we used to go there as we used to
go Disneyland because I grew up on the West Coast
and we would go there, and like we had to
go to this one.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
I don't remember what it was called.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
You had like tomorrow Land, which is basically now we
see in the nineties, so you know whatever, it's like,
oh wow, electric cars, I can't believe it, you know whatever.
And then and then you had this like someone will know.
It was like a like a log cabin sort of
fortress area. I had little attractions. It had like a
little I don't know, you could buy all kinds of
old timey stuff and anyway, if they had these pickles

(10:39):
and that was you had to go there though to
get them.

Speaker 1 (10:42):
I love a big Davy Crockett's canoes that one. Maybe
that's Davy Crockett, that's what it was. I don't know.
I don't know what we're doing with Davy, but Colonel
Davy Crockett, yeah, I'm not sure.

Speaker 2 (10:50):

Buddies and the Eight Pickles together. I'm not sure, but
