another path, you know, you know, Okay, all right, well,

my hand off at my be the chef night at

I was trained for thirty two minutes on lighting things
on fire in front of my friends.
Speaker 5 (02:04):

funniest thing.
Speaker 3 (02:08):

been done.
Speaker 7 (02:19):

Speaker 4 (02:21):
Greater I could think of a few greater things I've
ever done than when I got to cook at Benny Hannah.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
And that's a fact.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
There was. Then I played Bozo Buckets, yes, one. Then
I got to throw the first pitch out of the
Winston Salem Dash game. Wait that was that was the
night that the veteran was before me. Oh yeah, very
very very deserving veteran, Yes, who practiced standing up from
his wheelchair for a year to throw the pitch.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I get it.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
It was terrible.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
It was wonderful and it was terrible at the same time.
It was like, you guys set me up.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
They should have.
Speaker 7 (02:58):
Saved him for last Oh absolutely, yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
No. Then if you've not heard the story before, so
we uh, you know, we're on North Carolina. We were
on in Greensboro at the time, and they say, hey,
comes in to Winston Salem, Dad, you're gonna throw out
the first pitch of the game. It's a very exciting
fireworks night's Friday night. Like, Okay, So I go to
this thing and like a lot of these games, there's
there's more than one first pitch. There's like other first
pitches like sponsors and whatever, and then there's the first pitch, right,
(03:22):
So I was the first pitch, Like we had a
couple pitches ahead.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Of you, and then you're gonna gonna announce you're gonna
go out there.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
One's gonna clap and it's gonna be gret you can
throw the first pitch, and then you're gonna be you know, famous,
And I'm like, okay, cool. So I'm out there and
we got one ahead of you would say to military salute.
I'm like, immediately this is not good, like this is
we I don't need to be going after a meeting
like we can just I'm like, hey, we're good, like no, no, no,
it's great. So they shows this man. I think he
(03:48):
was like a Vietnam Or, I don't know, an older gentleman,
much older gentleman.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
He was in a wheel chair.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
He had his hat, you know, you know the hat
that veterans wear, that's you know, whatever, and so they
he had like a caretaker and he was in a
chair and they wheel him up the you know, ramp,
and then they wheel him out in the felation gentleman,
you know, veteran of many wars and hero to many people,
Steve or whatever his name was. And so they wheel
him out and everyone stands, and they turned the caretaker
(04:13):
turns his wheelchair towards the plate, you know. They took
him out near the mound, and then I this is
no joke. It took about fifteen minutes, Matt ten. It
took about ten minutes as he tried to rise and
then would sit again and then tried to rise it
and then his daughter, granddaughter whispers to me, he's been
practicing this for a year.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Oh my heart.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
And so finally he was able to stand. This isn't funny, geeky.
It's only funny because it's me. He was able to stand,
and he threw the ball a little ways, you know,
and then people are crying. People are like, I mean
it was like clapping. He was emotional. He was like no,
it was like my tears. I mean literally, people like.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Oh my god, oh my god. The woman who set
it up just texted me she's listening right now. Oh
wo oh, this is incredible. God bless you, our country
and the whole thing. And I kid you not. I
go to the person from the team and I go,
we don't have to do this, Like I gotta go,
I gotta go, I gotta.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Go, Like, can we just see it's cool, I'll come
back another time. They're like, oh no, it's happening now,
and oh my god, this is amazing. And then they
wheeled this guy off and they're like and now the
loser DJ from the radio station and the people are like, whatever,
now you're paying attention. Now they're getting their tissues out,
they're trying to redo their makeup. It was a beautiful
moment for him and a terrible moment for me. I
(05:33):
just went out there. I'm like, okay, great, here, just
take it. I don't know, here's the ball.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Did you at least have a good pitch.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
It was a good pitch, but nobody was watching because
they were too busy like donating to the you know
usl or whatever, like they ran to the kiosk to
donate to our soldiers, like you know they were There's
no way they were paying it.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Was terrible.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
That's his.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
It was a wonderful moment. It was a terrible moment
all at the same time. And I just want to
thank Carolyn Carver for setting that up. Can we next time? Carolyn?
Can She doesn't work for us anymore, But next time,
can you ask who else is on the survivor of
nuclear war? And then you know you gotta ask these
questions ahead of time.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
I'm all right, Jason Brown.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Hello, I don't know if we have a full tally
of your picks, but they're not great.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
But last week they were except we found out that
you didn't do them.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Yeah, you don't get it into the Bella and then
Bella well she basically it was a little sloppy, to
be honest with you, and you were called out. Now
nobody would have known. Nobody would have known, but we
do know. Now did you pick these yourself?
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Yes? These are from my own brain.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
Can you raise I like, raise your hand in under oath,
say oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I made all.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
These decisions myself.
Speaker 8 (06:40):
A Scouts of America whatever, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Okay, because you were an altar. I know you weren't
a boy scout, but you were an altar boy.
Speaker 8 (06:46):
Yeah, I actually was a cub scout for a little bit.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
I was too, so the deno leader had to go
to rehab.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
What also one of my favorite stories.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
That's a true story too. Yeah, it was. It was
a cub scout for.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
A short time and then the troop leader had to
go to rehab.
Speaker 7 (06:59):
So it would be funny.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Yeah, I might write one.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Okay, Week four NFL picks Jason Brown, our sports reporter,
Seahawks Cardinals. Oh, Cardinals not off to a good start.
That was last night they lost. I'll tell you what

a Thursday night game. Okay, you could get a little
one up on everybody if you go chet.
Speaker 8 (07:25):
You ain't gonna clock me.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Okay, So we're already owing one on a game that
already happened. Grantedy I think it happened at the last
minute on the field goals.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
So there's that part.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
I would have picked the Cardinals to actually, But anyway,
Viking Steelers, Steelers, that's eight thirty in the morning. That's
in like Germany or something. Oh, it's somewhere. It's in Europe, somewhere.
Where is it.
Speaker 7 (07:47):

It's in Dublin. Yes, it is. Eagles, Buccaneers, Eagles, Chargers, Giants,
Charger Commanders, Falcons, Uh, Falcons, colt Rams.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
The Rams.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
We're gonna go with the Rams.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Bears, Raiders, Bears, Uh, Packer, Packers, Cowboys.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
What are you gonna do? What are you gonna do?
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Nation?
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Baby? Why though?
Speaker 4 (08:21):
I don't understand, like, okay, Titans sections, Uh, Titan.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
You don't like Texas that much? I guess. Panthers, Patriots.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Uh, we gotta go with the Panthers, Saints, Bills, Mmmm, Bills, Browns, Lions, Lions, Jaguars.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
It's about time.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Four and Ravens, Chiefs, Chiefs and the Monday night games. Jets, Dolphins,
Jets and Bengals. Broncos, the Broncos of.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Barcelona.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
Yeah, the Barcelona Broncos in the National Football League.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
You no, that's exciting. Yeah? Yeah, Okay, Hey, I believe it. Guys.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Amazon owes use some money? Really, how about that? Amazon
ows use some money. They've agreed to pay historic two
point five billion dollars settlement.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
It's only the other way around.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
I'm always giving Amazon money with the Federal Trade Commission
after it was accused of tricking customers into buying subscriptions
for its Prime membership. The settlement comes just days into
the trial between the e commerce giant and federal regulators.
Under the agreement, Amazon will pay a billion dollars civil
penalty and provide one point five billion in refunds to
(09:42):
an estimated thirty five million customers who were harmed by
their deceptive Prime enrollment practices, the agency said in the
press release. The lawsuit was filed in twenty twenty three
under the Biden administration over the company's cancelation policy.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
So there's some stipulations.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
I think you have to have not used Prime more
than three times in a year or something like that.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
I don't know, you have to go look it up.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
But you might be entitled to fifty bucks from Amazon,
which you would then, of course proceed to spend on Amazon.
So I'm sure it will be fine. Kiki, Yeah, I
guess it's official. No word if they've said anything to
the Chinese people. But President Donald Trump signed an executive
order on Thursdays approving the TikTok sale to US America
(10:22):
or US American US Americans. The US when does say
that TikTok's US business to American owners, though China has
yet to officially approved the deal, so we signed something
that says it's done. They I don't know that they
feel that way, but anyway, the apps current Chinese owner
bike Dance, will reportedly owned nineteen point nine percent of
the new company stock. Under the agreement, American users data
(10:45):
will be managed by Oracle about one in fire and
this is good news. By the way, We're gonna have
TikTok because one in five US adults now regularly get
their news from TikTok, which is up sharply from only
three percent in twenty twenty. So it went from three
percent to twenty percent. Younger adults see the biggest jumped
ages eighteen to twenty nine. Forty three percent regularly use
(11:06):
TikTok for news, which is up.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
From nine percent.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
Ages thirty to forty nine, twenty five percent do up
from two percent, and those fifty to sixty four and
sixty five plus numbers are much lower.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Among TikTok.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
You just specifically, more than half now say they regularly
get news from there, and that number has climbed from
twenty two percent to twenty twenty A lot of statistics.
But people are now going to TikTok for news, and
that's good because we're on TikTok, the friends show TikTok.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
You can find us there and you won't find much news.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Oh's lots of news.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
So much news news about you know, yes, yeah, right,
news right, news about the dude you know shows up
drunk to his dad and yeah, that kind of news. Yeah,
it's no, it's the kind of news you need. Dad.
Bod and Riz are among five thousand words that have
been added to the Miriam Webster Dictionary. Five thousand words.
(11:57):
So this was the question last night. I was talking
to someone about they added five thousand words to the dictionary.
I didn't think I knew five thousand words. It turns out, though,
that the average human knows somewhere between thirty five and
forty thousand words and uses them regularly.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
I had no idea.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
I wouldn't have guessed I knew five thousand words in
my head, and they're adding them all the time. And
by the way, he's not even a word. It's charisma.
It's short for charisma. So why are we we're making
up words and putting them into or taking pieces of
words and putting them in a dictionary next to words
that already exist. And I contend this is just to
make the dictionary relevant, because when's the last time that
anyone said, like, you know what, I dude, I have
(12:33):
an old copy of the dictionary, Like I need to
stop by Barnes and Noble. If I can find one
and snag me a new dictionary, I gotta have it.
Beast mode, dadbod riz have all been added. What else,
dumb phone, which is like the phone before iPhone era phones,
like a phone that didn't didn't do as much as
(12:54):
a dumb phone. Farm to table. That's three words love language,
side eye and hard pass.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Okay again two words we don't need it. I know
we don't. I know we don't.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
A Bay Area woman named Lisa has rented digital billboards
along Highway one O one, stretching from the South Bay
up to San Francisco to advertise her search for mister Wright.
The billboards director to a website, Mary Lisa dot com,
where she shares her preferences, values, lifestyle, and often offers
a dating application or an even offers rather a dating application,
(13:27):
so that you can fill it out and she can
find love this way. She says that traditional dating apps
have not worked for her, so she's taking a bolder
and more public route, with hopes penned on making this
bold move payoff in love And would you have responded
to a guy on a billboard asking for applications for
(13:48):
you to date him? Would you have ever responded to that? No?
Speaker 3 (13:51):
So do you think this will? I think guys will
do it.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Guys will do because guys we're stupid, Like if we think,
you know, I'll fill it out, you know. Like the
guys are like that. Like women I think would be
like what's his soul? Like, what's his soul?
Speaker 3 (14:04):
You know, they was looking.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
They would look at a picture on the billboard and be
like what, Like I does he love his mom?
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Like what you know?
Speaker 4 (14:09):
What's on the inside with what's going on with? Discuss
criminal record? Like what's his credit score?
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Oh yeah?
Speaker 4 (14:15):
What are the top three things that you would want
to know about a man that you're looking? You don't
know anything about him, Like you see a picture of
him on a billboard and real like real talk, don't
tell me some stuff about oh your Like I mean,
I'm I'm like real talk credit score, like how much
is in the bank account?
Speaker 3 (14:33):
How big a dingling is money?
Speaker 2 (14:35):
For sure, I need to know your financial situation, like.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Do you have any or if you don't, like are
you at least responsible about it?
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
I need to know your financial situation.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
I need to know your health situation, and I need
to know your faith situation.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
For me, that's a good one.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
What do you mean by health situation? Like, if you've
got cancer, you're out?
Speaker 2 (14:53):
No, Like if you have if you got the clap,
you out. If it's something you're burning, you need an antibiotica. Yeah,
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Well, hopefully you got the anim that's all you needed.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
Then that's the least of your problems.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
I just need to know that.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Yeah, okay, all right, kaylin. Because I do thing that
guys typically and I think women do too. But I
think guys typically will look, I'm attracted to you, and
then they'll dig into the rest and a lot of
times we'll and I hate to be like, you know,
to generalize all men, but or stereotype, but then I
think it's like sometimes if they're hot enough, then we'll
talk ourselves out of the major red flags like oh
(15:28):
you're married or you.
Speaker 7 (15:30):
Know, do that too? I can talk myself.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
Yeah, so I think I think women can do it too,
which is why I was careful to generalize. But yes,
real talk top three things. You see a dude's face
on a billboard and it's maryfred dot com.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
What do you really want to know?
Speaker 7 (15:44):
I hate to copy Kiki, but definitely finances.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Mmurmer.
Speaker 7 (15:49):
I do want to know.
Speaker 6 (15:51):
Different from her health situation, I want to know, like
how you take care of yourself?
Speaker 2 (15:55):
How do you eat?
Speaker 7 (15:56):
Do you go to the doctor regularly?
Speaker 6 (15:58):
Because I don't want to beg people to go to
the doctor?
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Mental health management?
Speaker 6 (16:02):
Right, that's including how Yeah, like do we are you
open to therapy?
Speaker 7 (16:06):

Speaker 2 (16:09):
It takes yeah?
Speaker 7 (16:10):

like how how it's going on physically, like how it's
going on in the in the bedroom.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
We can we can work that out.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Well, now I don't have money.
Speaker 6 (16:33):
Well, I was gonna say that was gonna be my other.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
If you don't have any debt, we can work with
the rest of it. Jason Man's face on a billboard.
Speaker 8 (16:41):
I would have to go with job significantly older age.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Are you are you eligible for the Golden Bachelor exactly?
Speaker 8 (16:50):
To be yeah, I have to know their height, their age.
I guess I'll go with job, but then also I'll
add another one. I want to know, like are you
an animal person, because that's like very.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
If rolls your reversion it wasn't Lisa on the billboard
in the Bay Area, but it's a dude, and you
were eligible.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
I want to know debt, like what you carry in
debt because I have so much that like put together,
like but might be homeless.
Speaker 2 (17:15):

Living under that ridge, so you need to be You
need to have financial palability.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
Okay, somebody got it, like just their finances down lest thing.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
I'm multimillionaire, but like have it down, you know, I don't.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
You have to have a credit score acceptable for us
to have a place to live.
Speaker 5 (17:30):
Okayyy al right, at this point in my life, I
would say somebody who doesn't want more kids because I
don't so for me.
Speaker 7 (17:36):
It's like, you know, I got my one daughter and
that's it.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
So like you don't want kids.
Speaker 5 (17:39):
You can have kids, just like don't want more because

probably would be if you're on anybody's list, like hit list,
like you can't be making nobody mad FBI FBI, your
ex girlfriend like mafia, the mafia, anybody like to know,
like okay, like people have it out for you, because
I don't people like that.

That's crazy.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
That's crazy to me, Like, go marry, Like I would
love somebody who's just bawling, especially somebody who's balling because
they figured out how to do it themselves. I mean,
I trust funds fine too, but then you kind of
are indebted to the family. I feel like my friends
who have married into trust funds and they didn't have I.

extremely wealthy.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Man, and why I trust me? I've asked all those questions.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
No, and I think for those guys, it's like and
most of them were strong men, but it's like, Okay,
I make I make X, I went to school for
four years, I made this much money, and I married
somebody who's worth millions of dollars. And it's like, the
families are nice, but they know that everything that you have,
they're providing essentially, even if it wasn't their parents' generation
that made the money. A lot of times it was
(19:36):
grandpa or before that. But there's still this judgment that
like and I think I think even confident men are
like the budget was based on what my wife has,
not based on what I can provide, And so I
think it's just a weird feeling to know that, like
you're living well outside your means and not because you
provided it. And I know people listening not going, that's crazy.
(19:56):
I would love somebody who was super rich and they
just pay for everything. But it's almost like you're you're
having to ask for permission for the from the family
for everything, and then you're you owe them stuff, like
if they bought the house because dad, you know, started
a construction company that builds, you know, gigantic buildings or whatever,
then they're coming over whenever they want and you're not
telling them no. Yep, you know what I mean. Like
(20:18):
the boundaries are are are messed up a little bit there,
So she.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Needs to have her own money independent.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
I think that would be cool.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
And then close with family, okay, a good family relationship okay,
And if there's not a good family relationship, then there
need to be a clear reason why, okay, because family
is important. And then the animal thing too, But I
don't know, I kind of put that in with family
because it's all one and the same. And I might
get into the Advent calendar game this year. I'm thinking about.
There's a lot of cool Advent calendars out there. There's
(20:45):
a whole industry with this. You can get ones that
have little bottles of Scotch in it. I don't really
drink Scotch. I don't really drink anymore. But you can
get all kinds of different ones. But this one, Costco
is selling a five foot linked Advent calendar, so they
drop it's five feet long. I guess it's chocolate Advent calendar.
If you're not familiar with this, it's a Catholic thing.
I don't really know the whole history behind it, but it's,
(21:07):
you know, every day leading up to Christmas, you open
like a little compartment and there's a little gift in
there is the premise counting down to Christmas. And I
don't know why we're giving gifts or where that all
came from. I'm sure somebody can explain to me the
history of it. But now they've got all different ones.
Like growing up, we had ones they didn't necessarily have
anything in them. They were just it was just fun
every day to like count down to Christmas and now
(21:28):
you know that you've got dog toys in them, you've
got chocolate in them, you got alcohol makeup. There's one
I know that that has makeup in it, like Sephora
makes it or something a Mac or somebody.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
But it is the Mega Advent Calendar.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
It features full size lint chocolates including Truffles, Bars and
Bears one hundred and eighty nine bucks and it's only
available at select Costco stores.
Speaker 7 (21:50):
They had a wine Advent calendar at Costco.
Speaker 6 (21:53):
I don't know if you mentioned that or not, but
someone gave me that one year and that was fun.
And it's a German person or people original needed the
Advent calendar in the nineteenth century. They used to do
markings in chalk, and then a German explorer brought it
over here and now we do the You're.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
Welcome than a lot of fun facts in here, guys,
A lot of fun fact We talked about the words
that you know, talked about Advent calendars. Yeah, shout out,
shout out to the German Protestants. Absolutely, it's national pancake tape,
the National Johnny Appleseed Day. I think every year we
look it up. I don't know why we're celebrating, but hey,
a happy day. Johnny Appleseed
Friends, the biggest stories of the day. Like Pauline is
rubbing off on you. I'll call mom a fred yes,
and then she'll make you do that. Think, oh, yes,
I don't think so I know what to call.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
That's right, Ladies, call his mom. All I'm gonna say.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Stuff like that. That's not good.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
You don't call someone's mom's grown up to get them
to do the thing that you want them to do.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
You don't do that, Paulina.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
It might be a less resort if you're a husband, No,
you do it all the time.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
It could be a less resort thing.
Speaker 5 (00:34):
I'm saying, like, if nothing else works, and nothing does work,
they gotta call his mom let him know.
Speaker 6 (00:40):
Maybe if it's not working, there's a reason and there's
another path, you know, you know, Okay, all right, well,
I mean listen, I'm I'm pro talking to the mom
for sure.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Maybe you're just not right about something.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Hey, you know what, I never considered that.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
I know, I know, I know, I know that.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
Maybe maybe Hobby's right about something sometimes occasionally, maybe Hobby
has boundaries.
Speaker 5 (01:06):
Occasionally, Well so do I Why I call his mom
and we discussed.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
No, that is unboundaries. That is in fact, the opposite
of boundaries. But no, you know you don't call my mom.
Speaker 7 (01:17):
Don't call my mommy, No, I don't.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
I brought you.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
I brought you into this family, and I'll take you out. Okay,
I have to call. I'll I'll change your phone number.
I don't want sad news. An Asian man hacked your
phone too. An Asian man hacked her Facebook and her phone,
and she's no longer reachable to you for requests about
the wedding. I mean, I am a Benny Hannah chef,
I'm certified, But no, I will not cook at your wedding.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
I won't.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
You won't know what about private dinner for Tim and I?
Speaker 4 (01:46):
I just cause you don't make up putting up salts
on a food and out you're trying not to cut
my hand off at my be the chef night at
Benny Hannah and and Kiki over here is like, I
don't know, it's not salted properly. Really, that's funny, because
I was trained for thirty two minutes on lighting things
on fire in front of my friends.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
I can't believe you actually did say that was the
funniest thing.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Oh, I was so excited, it was.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
It was great.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Oh, I was so excited.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
You had the outfit on. You were juggling the eggs.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
It was you were trying to ruin my night. And
it couldn't. He couldn't have been done. You couldn't have
been done.
Speaker 7 (02:19):
Oh no, we had a time.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
There was no.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Greater I could think of a few greater things I've
ever done than when I got to cook at Benny Hannah.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
And that's a fact.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
There was. Then I played Bozo Buckets, yes, one. Then
I got to throw the first pitch out of the
Winston Salem Dash game. Wait that was that was the
night that the veteran was before me. Oh yeah, very
very very deserving veteran, Yes, who practiced standing up from
his wheelchair for a year to throw the pitch.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I get it.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
It was terrible.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
It was wonderful and it was terrible at the same time.
It was like, you guys set me up.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
They should have.
Speaker 7 (02:58):
Saved him for last Oh absolutely, yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
No. Then if you've not heard the story before, so
we uh, you know, we're on North Carolina. We were
on in Greensboro at the time, and they say, hey,
comes in to Winston Salem, Dad, you're gonna throw out
the first pitch of the game. It's a very exciting
fireworks night's Friday night. Like, Okay, So I go to
this thing and like a lot of these games, there's
there's more than one first pitch. There's like other first
pitches like sponsors and whatever, and then there's the first pitch, right,
(03:22):
So I was the first pitch, Like we had a
couple pitches ahead.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Of you, and then you're gonna gonna announce you're gonna
go out there.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
One's gonna clap and it's gonna be gret you can
throw the first pitch, and then you're gonna be you know, famous,
And I'm like, okay, cool. So I'm out there and
we got one ahead of you would say to military salute.
I'm like, immediately this is not good, like this is
we I don't need to be going after a meeting
like we can just I'm like, hey, we're good, like no, no, no,
it's great. So they shows this man. I think he
(03:48):
was like a Vietnam Or, I don't know, an older gentleman,
much older gentleman.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
He was in a wheel chair.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
He had his hat, you know, you know the hat
that veterans wear, that's you know, whatever, and so they
he had like a caretaker and he was in a
chair and they wheel him up the you know, ramp,
and then they wheel him out in the felation gentleman,
you know, veteran of many wars and hero to many people,
Steve or whatever his name was. And so they wheel
him out and everyone stands, and they turned the caretaker
(04:13):
turns his wheelchair towards the plate, you know. They took
him out near the mound, and then I this is
no joke. It took about fifteen minutes, Matt ten. It
took about ten minutes as he tried to rise and
then would sit again and then tried to rise it
and then his daughter, granddaughter whispers to me, he's been
practicing this for a year.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Oh my heart.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
And so finally he was able to stand. This isn't funny, geeky.
It's only funny because it's me. He was able to stand,
and he threw the ball a little ways, you know,
and then people are crying. People are like, I mean
it was like clapping. He was emotional. He was like no,
it was like my tears. I mean literally, people like.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Oh my god, oh my god. The woman who set
it up just texted me she's listening right now. Oh
wo oh, this is incredible. God bless you, our country
and the whole thing. And I kid you not. I
go to the person from the team and I go,
we don't have to do this, Like I gotta go,
I gotta go, I gotta.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Go, Like, can we just see it's cool, I'll come
back another time. They're like, oh no, it's happening now,
and oh my god, this is amazing. And then they
wheeled this guy off and they're like and now the
loser DJ from the radio station and the people are like, whatever,
now you're paying attention. Now they're getting their tissues out,
they're trying to redo their makeup. It was a beautiful
moment for him and a terrible moment for me. I
(05:33):
just went out there. I'm like, okay, great, here, just
take it. I don't know, here's the ball.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Did you at least have a good pitch.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
It was a good pitch, but nobody was watching because
they were too busy like donating to the you know
usl or whatever, like they ran to the kiosk to
donate to our soldiers, like you know they were There's
no way they were paying it.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Was terrible.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
That's his.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
It was a wonderful moment. It was a terrible moment
all at the same time. And I just want to
thank Carolyn Carver for setting that up. Can we next time? Carolyn?
Can She doesn't work for us anymore, But next time,
can you ask who else is on the survivor of
nuclear war? And then you know you gotta ask these
questions ahead of time.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
I'm all right, Jason Brown.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Hello, I don't know if we have a full tally
of your picks, but they're not great.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
But last week they were except we found out that
you didn't do them.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Yeah, you don't get it into the Bella and then
Bella well she basically it was a little sloppy, to
be honest with you, and you were called out. Now
nobody would have known. Nobody would have known, but we
do know. Now did you pick these yourself?
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Yes? These are from my own brain.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
Can you raise I like, raise your hand in under oath,
say oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I made all.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
These decisions myself.
Speaker 8 (06:40):

Yeah, I actually was a cub scout for a little bit.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
I was too, so the deno leader had to go
to rehab.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
What also one of my favorite stories.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
That's a true story too. Yeah, it was. It was
a cub scout for.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
A short time and then the troop leader had to
go to rehab.
Speaker 7 (06:59):
So it would be funny.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Yeah, I might write one.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Okay, Week four NFL picks Jason Brown, our sports reporter,
Seahawks Cardinals. Oh, Cardinals not off to a good start.
That was last night they lost. I'll tell you what

Speaker 8 (07:25):
You ain't gonna clock me.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Okay, So we're already owing one on a game that
already happened. Grantedy I think it happened at the last
minute on the field goals.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
So there's that part.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
I would have picked the Cardinals to actually, But anyway,
Viking Steelers, Steelers, that's eight thirty in the morning. That's

Speaker 4 (08:21):
I don't understand, like, okay, Titans sections, Uh, Titan.

Jets and Bengals. Broncos, the Broncos of.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Barcelona.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
Yeah, the Barcelona Broncos in the National Football League.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
You no, that's exciting. Yeah? Yeah, Okay, Hey, I believe it. Guys.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Amazon owes use some money? Really, how about that? Amazon
ows use some money. They've agreed to pay historic two
point five billion dollars settlement.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
It's only the other way around.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
I'm always giving Amazon money with the Federal Trade Commission
after it was accused of tricking customers into buying subscriptions
for its Prime membership. The settlement comes just days into
the trial between the e commerce giant and federal regulators.
Under the agreement, Amazon will pay a billion dollars civil
penalty and provide one point five billion in refunds to
(09:42):
an estimated thirty five million customers who were harmed by
their deceptive Prime enrollment practices, the agency said in the
press release. The lawsuit was filed in twenty twenty three
under the Biden administration over the company's cancelation policy.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
So there's some stipulations.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
I think you have to have not used Prime more
than three times in a year or something like that.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
I don't know, you have to go look it up.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
But you might be entitled to fifty bucks from Amazon,
which you would then, of course proceed to spend on Amazon.
So I'm sure it will be fine. Kiki, Yeah, I
guess it's official. No word if they've said anything to
the Chinese people. But President Donald Trump signed an executive
order on Thursdays approving the TikTok sale to US America
(10:22):
or US American US Americans. The US when does say
that TikTok's US business to American owners, though China has
yet to officially approved the deal, so we signed something
that says it's done. They I don't know that they
feel that way, but anyway, the apps current Chinese owner
bike Dance, will reportedly owned nineteen point nine percent of
the new company stock. Under the agreement, American users data
(10:45):
will be managed by Oracle about one in fire and
this is good news. By the way, We're gonna have
TikTok because one in five US adults now regularly get
their news from TikTok, which is up sharply from only
three percent in twenty twenty. So it went from three
percent to twenty percent. Younger adults see the biggest jumped
ages eighteen to twenty nine. Forty three percent regularly use
(11:06):
TikTok for news, which is up.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
From nine percent.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
Ages thirty to forty nine, twenty five percent do up
from two percent, and those fifty to sixty four and
sixty five plus numbers are much lower.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Among TikTok.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
You just specifically, more than half now say they regularly
get news from there, and that number has climbed from
twenty two percent to twenty twenty A lot of statistics.
But people are now going to TikTok for news, and
that's good because we're on TikTok, the friends show TikTok.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
You can find us there and you won't find much news.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Oh's lots of news.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
So much news news about you know, yes, yeah, right,
news right, news about the dude you know shows up
drunk to his dad and yeah, that kind of news. Yeah,
it's no, it's the kind of news you need. Dad.
Bod and Riz are among five thousand words that have
been added to the Miriam Webster Dictionary. Five thousand words.
(11:57):
So this was the question last night. I was talking
to someone about they added five thousand words to the dictionary.
I didn't think I knew five thousand words. It turns out, though,
that the average human knows somewhere between thirty five and
forty thousand words and uses them regularly.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
I had no idea.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
I wouldn't have guessed I knew five thousand words in
my head, and they're adding them all the time. And
by the way, he's not even a word. It's charisma.
It's short for charisma. So why are we we're making
up words and putting them into or taking pieces of
words and putting them in a dictionary next to words
that already exist. And I contend this is just to
make the dictionary relevant, because when's the last time that
anyone said, like, you know what, I dude, I have
(12:33):
an old copy of the dictionary, Like I need to
stop by Barnes and Noble. If I can find one
and snag me a new dictionary, I gotta have it.
Beast mode, dadbod riz have all been added. What else,
dumb phone, which is like the phone before iPhone era phones,
like a phone that didn't didn't do as much as
(12:54):
a dumb phone. Farm to table. That's three words love language,
side eye and hard pass.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Okay again two words we don't need it. I know
we don't. I know we don't.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
A Bay Area woman named Lisa has rented digital billboards
along Highway one O one, stretching from the South Bay
up to San Francisco to advertise her search for mister Wright.
The billboards director to a website, Mary Lisa dot com,
where she shares her preferences, values, lifestyle, and often offers
a dating application or an even offers rather a dating application,
(13:27):
so that you can fill it out and she can
find love this way. She says that traditional dating apps
have not worked for her, so she's taking a bolder
and more public route, with hopes penned on making this
bold move payoff in love And would you have responded
to a guy on a billboard asking for applications for
(13:48):
you to date him? Would you have ever responded to that? No?
Speaker 3 (13:51):
So do you think this will? I think guys will
do it.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Guys will do because guys we're stupid, Like if we think,
you know, I'll fill it out, you know. Like the
guys are like that. Like women I think would be
like what's his soul? Like, what's his soul?
Speaker 3 (14:04):
You know, they was looking.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
They would look at a picture on the billboard and be
like what, Like I does he love his mom?
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Like what you know?
Speaker 4 (14:09):
What's on the inside with what's going on with? Discuss
criminal record? Like what's his credit score?
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Oh yeah?
Speaker 4 (14:15):
What are the top three things that you would want
to know about a man that you're looking? You don't
know anything about him, Like you see a picture of
him on a billboard and real like real talk, don't
tell me some stuff about oh your Like I mean,
I'm I'm like real talk credit score, like how much
is in the bank account?
Speaker 3 (14:33):
How big a dingling is money?
Speaker 2 (14:35):
For sure, I need to know your financial situation, like.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Do you have any or if you don't, like are
you at least responsible about it?
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
I need to know your financial situation.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
I need to know your health situation, and I need
to know your faith situation.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
For me, that's a good one.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
What do you mean by health situation? Like, if you've
got cancer, you're out?
Speaker 2 (14:53):
No, Like if you have if you got the clap,
you out. If it's something you're burning, you need an antibiotica. Yeah,
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Well, hopefully you got the anim that's all you needed.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
Then that's the least of your problems.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
I just need to know that.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Yeah, okay, all right, kaylin. Because I do thing that
guys typically and I think women do too. But I
think guys typically will look, I'm attracted to you, and
then they'll dig into the rest and a lot of
times we'll and I hate to be like, you know,
to generalize all men, but or stereotype, but then I
think it's like sometimes if they're hot enough, then we'll
talk ourselves out of the major red flags like oh
(15:28):
you're married or you.
Speaker 7 (15:30):
Know, do that too? I can talk myself.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
Yeah, so I think I think women can do it too,
which is why I was careful to generalize. But yes,
real talk top three things. You see a dude's face
on a billboard and it's maryfred dot com.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
What do you really want to know?
Speaker 7 (15:44):
I hate to copy Kiki, but definitely finances.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Mmurmer.
Speaker 7 (15:49):
I do want to know.
Speaker 6 (15:51):
Different from her health situation, I want to know, like
how you take care of yourself?
Speaker 2 (15:55):
How do you eat?
Speaker 7 (15:56):
Do you go to the doctor regularly?
Speaker 6 (15:58):
Because I don't want to beg people to go to
the doctor?
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Mental health management?
Speaker 6 (16:02):
Right, that's including how Yeah, like do we are you
open to therapy?
Speaker 7 (16:06):
Are you open to talking about your feeling?
Speaker 2 (16:09):
It takes yeah?
Speaker 7 (16:10):
And then m Do I go funny or do I
go serious?
Speaker 6 (16:15):
I don't know I would want to Can I say
that I would want to talk to their friends or
like people that know them?
Speaker 4 (16:20):
Or is that not two people are not concerned about
like how how it's going on physically, like how it's
going on in the in the bedroom.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
We can we can work that out.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Well, now I don't have money.
Speaker 6 (16:33):
Well, I was gonna say that was gonna be my other.

Speaker 4 (17:03):
If rolls your reversion it wasn't Lisa on the billboard
in the Bay Area, but it's a dude, and you

debt because I have so much that like put together,
like but might be homeless.

Living under that ridge, so you need to be You
need to have financial palability.

Okay, somebody got it, like just their finances down lest thing.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
I'm multimillionaire, but like have it down, you know, I don't.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
You have to have a credit score acceptable for us
to have a place to live.

don't so for me.
Speaker 7 (17:36):
It's like, you know, I got my one daughter and
that's it.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
So like you don't want kids.
Speaker 5 (17:39):
You can have kids, just like don't want more because

Speaker 3 (18:12):
Oh god, we know I don't care.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
I mean I care, but I'm with you, guys, Like
that's not that's not maybe no, that would be maybe
fourth or fifth on the list. Independents, like are you
an independent person? Finances would be good. Finances are good
if you're counting it, they are. I would love someone
(18:39):
who makes more than me, and I know a lot
of guys for some reason are e masculated by that.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
That's crazy.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
That's crazy to me, Like, go marry, Like I would
love somebody who's just bawling, especially somebody who's balling because
they figured out how to do it themselves. I mean,
I trust funds fine too, but then you kind of
are indebted to the family. I feel like my friends
who have married into trust funds and they didn't have I.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Know, I know several This is not a joke. I
don't even know why this is not a joke.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
I know several men who married women whose families are extremely,
extremely wealthy.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Man, and why I trust me? I've asked all those questions.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
No, and I think for those guys, it's like and
most of them were strong men, but it's like, Okay,
I make I make X, I went to school for
four years, I made this much money, and I married
somebody who's worth millions of dollars. And it's like, the
families are nice, but they know that everything that you have,
they're providing essentially, even if it wasn't their parents' generation
that made the money. A lot of times it was
(19:36):
grandpa or before that. But there's still this judgment that
like and I think I think even confident men are
like the budget was based on what my wife has,
not based on what I can provide, And so I
think it's just a weird feeling to know that, like
you're living well outside your means and not because you
provided it. And I know people listening not going, that's crazy.
(19:56):
I would love somebody who was super rich and they
just pay for everything. But it's almost like you're you're
having to ask for permission for the from the family
for everything, and then you're you owe them stuff, like
if they bought the house because dad, you know, started
a construction company that builds, you know, gigantic buildings or whatever,
then they're coming over whenever they want and you're not
telling them no. Yep, you know what I mean. Like
(20:18):
the boundaries are are are messed up a little bit there,
So she.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Needs to have her own money independent.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
I think that would be cool.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
And then close with family, okay, a good family relationship okay,
And if there's not a good family relationship, then there
need to be a clear reason why, okay, because family
is important. And then the animal thing too, But I
don't know, I kind of put that in with family
because it's all one and the same. And I might
get into the Advent calendar game this year. I'm thinking about.
There's a lot of cool Advent calendars out there. There's
(20:45):
a whole industry with this. You can get ones that
have little bottles of Scotch in it. I don't really
drink Scotch. I don't really drink anymore. But you can
get all kinds of different ones. But this one, Costco
is selling a five foot linked Advent calendar, so they
drop it's five feet long. I guess it's chocolate Advent calendar.
If you're not familiar with this, it's a Catholic thing.
I don't really know the whole history behind it, but it's,
(21:07):
you know, every day leading up to Christmas, you open
like a little compartment and there's a little gift in
there is the premise counting down to Christmas. And I
don't know why we're giving gifts or where that all
came from. I'm sure somebody can explain to me the
history of it. But now they've got all different ones.
Like growing up, we had ones they didn't necessarily have
anything in them. They were just it was just fun
every day to like count down to Christmas and now
(21:28):
you know that you've got dog toys in them, you've
got chocolate in them, you got alcohol makeup. There's one
I know that that has makeup in it, like Sephora
makes it or something a Mac or somebody.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
But it is the Mega Advent Calendar.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
It features full size lint chocolates including Truffles, Bars and
Bears one hundred and eighty nine bucks and it's only
available at select Costco stores.
Speaker 7 (21:50):
They had a wine Advent calendar at Costco.
Speaker 6 (21:53):
I don't know if you mentioned that or not, but
someone gave me that one year and that was fun.
And it's a German person or people original needed the
Advent calendar in the nineteenth century. They used to do
markings in chalk, and then a German explorer brought it
over here and now we do the You're.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
Welcome than a lot of fun facts in here, guys,
A lot of fun fact We talked about the words
that you know, talked about Advent calendars. Yeah, shout out,
shout out to the German Protestants. Absolutely, it's national pancake tape,
the National Johnny Appleseed Day. I think every year we
look it up. I don't know why we're celebrating, but hey,
a happy day. Johnny Appleseed
