Biggest stories of the day. I'm trying to get our
old Bella Hamene is trying to get our boss, Jason
Jason Carr. Everyone. Why what?
Speaker 2 (00:40):
No?
Speaker 1 (00:40):
I mean, you're right there, but the other are well
lesser boss chasing car in West Palm Beach. It's on
our station there wild ninety five to five. Why because
it was a big night for him, It was a
big night for everybody in Florida. Because the Florida Panthers
beat the Edmonton Oilers five to one in Game six
to win back to back Stanley Cup titles. How about that?
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Ye?
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Now what I want to know from our boss, Jason
carr Is how he was at every Stanley Cup game,
Like what kind of money are they paying this man?
Because I've not known anyone to be very generous lately
around here, so I don't know this man was. He
was in all the games with all the people, and
I'm going, hey, wait a minute. I mean, Jason is
(01:24):
our sports reporter. How was it that these tickets were
assigned to him and nothing happened, that no one consulted
you on this whatsoever?
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Couldn't even get access.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
But I'm guessing he's asleep, maybe he's hung over. I
don't know which I'm waking him up. The problem is
if I feel bad because if you're a radio manager
and the phone rings at you know, seven something in
the morning or whatever it is, then immediately it's well,
who's off the air? You know? I mean, it's a
terrible way to wake up, you know what I mean? Like,
if I'm the boss at the radio station the phone
(01:53):
starts ringing early in the morning, is this some kind
of catastrophe? I forgot to pay the internet bill again,
and it's climbing the tower again, adjusting the tinfoil. But
I want to congratulate everybody. Yeah, who listens to us
in Florida. Your Panthers won. It's exciting. And I also
want to know who paid for Jason's tickets. No he's
not answering his phone but no, no he's not. I
(02:13):
said emergency. No you did not know it didn't Again,
you want to talk about panic, like even for a
morning person, Like if my phone rings and I'm if
I'm asleep and my phone starts ringing, it could be
three in the afternoon, I jolt out of bed because
I'm like, I slept through something. I'm supposed to be somewhere.
(02:37):
It's probably I've missed four days of work. I slept
through all of it, like no one anyway. So I'm
sorry Jason, that's the experience that you had. But he's
not even awake, so.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
I just sent him higher. You up, winky fist.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
I remember when the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup and
it was like a four day quest to figure out
what bar they were at, and it never stopped. Like,
I don't think those guys slept for four days. It
was like where's the Stanley Cup? Now? Like they come
back to town, they go right to a bar like
they won five hours ago. They go right to a
bar and then it was just non stop drunk frat
(03:09):
boys in a bus with a Stanley Cup everywhere you
would go, like for four straight days. I'm like, how
do you do that? Do you sleep? But I guess
I'll tell you celebrate in the NHL and they put
stuff in the cup and they drink out of it,
and then they each get a time with the cup too,
like each player. I think it's a week with the
Stanley Cup to do whatever they want. They can take
(03:30):
it home and the stories of what people have done.
I was gonna say, oh yeah, yeah, drinking out of it.
I've held it before, and as I'm holding it, I'm
like how much DNA is on this thing? You know
what I mean? But they wouldn't let me fully hold it.
They like had another guy hold it with me. It's heavy.
(03:51):
I'm like, think, I'm gonna run away with this thing.
I can't go anywhere. I can't go anywhere with him.
And hold on a second, what if players are done
with the Stanley Cup? And then I saw I guess
it was yesterday or two days ago. It was in
the West PONMD Beach, airport. They like the Stanley Cup
is in a big box, like a big you know,
(04:12):
I don't know. It looks like it's some sort of
like touring merchandise, you know, or whatever. And it was
just going down the conveyor belt at the airport, like
where you'd get your bed. It was just like and
then and then I guess somebody was like, hey, can
we see it, and the Stanley Cup holder man and
like opened it for them in the airport so they could.
I don't think they took it out because the picture
I saw was it was just in its case on
the ground. But they're very nice about it. Here's a
(04:35):
look at what Stanley cup. I don't care about them.
I also look up this up later, but I was curious,
like there are legends about what people have done with
the Stanley Cup during their time to like hold on
to it. And I'm sure it's grab eating cereal out
of it, drinking out of that's very common, like drinking
booze out of it. Yeah, anyway, congratulations to our friends
(04:56):
in Florida. President Trump says he will probably extend on
the TikTok deadline yet again.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Thank you, I mean, finally do something good something.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
This is like this has become his party trick, Like
a lot of really difficult things are happening right now,
and whether you agree or disagree with what he's doing,
it's like every time things seem to be not going great,
it's but hey, but TikTok's not going anywhere, and everyone's like, Okay,
that's all right, but you will most likely extend the
June nineteenth deadline for Byte Dance to sell TikTok to
US Operations Marketing, the third extension since taking office. Kraft
(05:30):
Tigns is saying goodbye to artificial dies. This is a
cause that Kaylin is willing to die on. Yes, yes,
and Jason could perform last rites. Yes, I got you
if necessary. Ah, I didn't even mean to do that,
but thank you. Yeah. This is why I'm gonna wind
up in the Illinois Radio Hall of Fame. It's it's
stuff that I think I don't know. Actually I don't
know where the real Yeah, the real Radio Hall of Fame.
(05:51):
I have no idea where that is. Either people are
getting inducted into it, but it's not a thing anymore.
It's I don't know where it is. In a hallway somewhere,
so I don't even know what it is.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
It's a concept, it's a deal.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
It was a concept that we'll never be in. So
it doesn't matter, No, it matters not. It doesn't matter
where it is, because we'll never have to attend the
ceremony not.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
To be shady so hard.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Don't worry. We'll be accused of being shady no matter
what you say, so even though we never have been. So.
New products slated for US release won't contain the dyes either.
Effective immediately. Kraftids joins rivals, including Pepsi and Catalog and
limiting or removing artificial dies amid a government push to
do so. The companies said almost ninety percent of its
products sold in the US today are already free. General
(06:36):
Mills has announced that it will be working to remove
artificial colors from all of its cereals in the US,
as well as from foods in schools as well, and
then by the end of twenty twenty seven, from all
of its US retail portfolio. So no more of that
tasty red dye nine or whatever it is. Lord have
Mercy food. It's still itself, it really is.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
I don't know what makes it good.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
You guys, it's just the color.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
We don't need it never be the same.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Oh no, I like I get extra online, but it's fine.
That's supposed to do right for it. Amazon is doubling
the length of its Prime Day event this year, which
is stretching the annual sale from the usual forty eight
hours to record ninety six, in the hopes that the
extra time will entice deal seeking shoppers as Americans tighten
their wallets. Also, I guess just spending online is down
(07:23):
like one percent, so everyone's freaking out about it. But
if you have Amazon Prime, then you have access to
Prime Day fourteen bucks a month or one hundred and
thirty nine dollars annually, and it includes perks like expedited shipping. Now,
I am not over here made of money by any means,
but I that's one of those things. I just I
don't even they could charge me anything. And I don't think.
I don't only think I know, like I don't. I
(07:44):
don't remember the last time I looked to see how
much I was paying for it. Like that's like a
lot of things, by the way, cell phones, a lot
of things like the insurance. I guess you're supposed to
shop for insurance, and insurance brokers could tell me this,
and they probably don't want me to say this, but
I guess you're supposed to shop for insurance every couple
of years, no matter what. I guess you're supposed to
call this to the mobile phone company to every couple
of years and be like, hey, I don't like it anymore,
(08:06):
and then we'll give it to you for you know
this much. It's like, why didn't you tell me that before?
What were you going to say? I don't remember, because
you lit up and then I was like, oh, I
guess it's going to be great. And then then I
was thinking it was going to be great. It was
going to be really great. But then I started.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Thinking about phones and who has the time to shop
around for new things? I got off process.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
We were so close to the Hall of Fame just then,
and then I know I saw hurt. I really had
something exciting to say, and I don't remember whatever it
was was going to get you in and not the
rest of us. So I appreciate it. You helped back,
I think. So she comes in every day and she
holds back. She gives us fifty percent, because if she
gave us even seventy it would only be Kaylen in
the Hall of Fame, and that it would be Kaylan
of the Fread Show, but not the Fread Show. And
(08:47):
a bust. I hear, you get a bust if you
get in the Hall of Fame. Yeah, a bust.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
I don't know how you get a plaque. I think
I think it's a plot.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
That's okay.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
I don't think it's an actual statue. So what do
you get? Do you just get to know you're in
it and you just can keep I don't know, uh huh, okay, yeah,
get it. It's no, it's it's nice. You know, it's
a nice thing. That's I mean, I love that. I'd
rather just have the thirteen, you know, honestly. Yeah, yeah,
(09:19):
like a nice paycheck and and the thirteen. That would
be fine and they actually exist versus the building that. Hey, look,
if you by all means, if you can get in there,
if you can get in any kind of hall of fame,
good for you. Congratulatem. It's wonderful. I just I don't
care because we'll never get in. Oh. For the first
time ever, more people have streamed on their TV than
(09:41):
watch cable and broadcast television combined, which I don't think
that should surprise anybody, because I feel like, for the
most part, when people talk about the stuff they're watching,
it's on one of the streaming services, you know. I mean,
I can't remember the last time, honestly, and this is
not like it I'm making this up, but I can't
remember the last time somebody was like, did you see
the latest PBS special? And I'm not picking on I'm
not picking on PBS. I just don't They don't advertise
(10:02):
with us, so I don't get canceled. I don't know. Yeah,
actually you know what Sesame Street should live forever, so whatever,
But like, I don't know who advertised with us. I
don't want to pick on anybody, but I can't remember
the last time somebody was like, man, you've got to
tune in around seven tonight. Yeah, you know, you get
your intenna out, man, or just tune in, Because even
if it is on broadcast TV, I feel like people
still stream it, Like I don't watch All American on
(10:24):
the CW. Sorry, I wait till the whole thing. It's
on Netflix, so I can binge it like any good
forty year old man would. I now watch Bravo on Peacock.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Like I used to watch it on my cable, like
I get cable for free from my building, but I
watch it all on Peacock.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Yeah. So it's like, well, and there's people in the media.
I don't care how you consume it. Just consume it, please, yeah, please,
and in a timely fashion if you wouldn't mind it,
you know, but yeah, please listen in the radio in
the car. The iHeart app is fine. And then if
you can't listen, then if you could listen, you know,
within twenty four hours, that would be ideal. We really
love that. But no, I don't. I'm sure they don't care.
That's why they have all these things, because it's be
(11:00):
where the people are. Is that what they say? I
think I learned that in my NBA class or something
for the NBA don't have And today were with many
stories all over the place. We're complaining. We're complaining about
the rise of the infinite work day. Many companies have
called workers back to the office that doesn't mean their
workday's end when they head home. New data from Microsoft
(11:21):
Today shows that one in five meetings now happens outside
of core business hours time during which the average employee
also sensor receives more than fifty messages. Some sixteen percent
of meetings happen after eight pm. After eight pm, I'm
offending if you want me to go to a meeting
at two pm, ABM is crazy, right, because our work
day starts at four, So, as far as I'm concerned,
(11:43):
our work day's over at noon. That's so. And if
you want to have a meeting, like, let's have it
at ten when the show's over, ten to fifteen while
the show's ending, coming here and talk to me while
we're ending, you know, because we've already been here then
for six seven. If you work, if you work abnormal hours,
my question is how many times has that place adjusted
(12:04):
for you versus versus doing it the way the manager
wants to do it based on a manager's hours, because
a manager has to justify his or her existence by
having a bunch of meetings. That's what I found. I
found there are meetings, meetings, meetings, meeting meetings all the time.
It's I'm telling you, it's so that people can be like, look,
i'm here, remember me, and I'm in the office. See
(12:24):
look at my calendar. Look right, I'm so busy, busy.
I don't want to be busy, Like call me when
you need me, okay, And between my office hours of
four and noon. No, anyone listening this really can appreciate that.
I'm sure. It's like, let's have the meeting at three o'clock,
Like three o'clock, that's midnight for me, or all the perks,
(12:46):
all the office perks happened at like for lunch for
everybody else. You know what I'm saying, Like it's it's
we're having a picnic at one o'clock. One o'clock, I
went to bed. I'm bed for the next day looking
up from here now I've had a second day already. Lunch,
we talk about lunch. No, it upsets me anyway. But
(13:08):
at eight o'clock meeting, like if you were nine to
five issue and they're making you go to work at
meetings at eight o'clock. No, I don't know about that.
But the emails are something that I mean, this has
been a thing for a long time, and there is
a policy run here that after five o'clock you don't
have to respond on an email till the next day,
which is just not feasible. Imagine that Jason imagine if
you only responded to all the emails that you get
(13:29):
for your seven jobs between the hours of nine and imagine,
can you imagine? No?
Speaker 2 (13:35):
But also what I started doing is I delayed deliver
my email, so at eight o'clock on the dot, all
my emails go out in every one's in boxes, all
the emails from me.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Like, there you go. You don't want me to email
during my working hours?
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Smare you go? Well, we used to have a plausible deniability,
you know, because we didn't have access to email on
the phone and the Internet was a little you know, unreliable.
Like my mom, my aunt and I were talking about
this yesterday behind my mom's back. My mom till this
day will be like I didn't, she said it to her. Everybody,
I didn't get that. No, you got the email the
internet interneted. I am one hundred percent certain that that
(14:10):
email arrived. Now what you did with it after it arrived,
I have no idea. But one thing I can tell
you for certain, okay, is that we both live in
major metropolitan cities, and I promised you that the email
was received.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
It's in my cent folder.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
You got it. It definitely happened, like we can't do
the thing anymore where it's like, oh man, you know,
like the in the early two thousands when it was
a kind of blackberries, but not everybody had one. I
know for some people there's like Bella was listening now
going huh, you know we didn't have internet on the phone.
No we didn't, And then you could leave work and
if you didn't have access to a computer, then you
wouldn't have gotten the email. So there's nothing that you
(14:46):
could do about it, so nobody could get mad at you.
But now if somebody emails me and says, hey, why
didn't you respond to that email? I cannot possibly feasibly
say I did not receive it. Now it came to
my phone or my iPad or one of my computer
it did it? Did?
Speaker 3 (15:01):
I'll fall and say I didn't see it, I didn't
read it. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Well say no. But saying you didn't read it is
different than trying to say you didn't receive it.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Oh yeah you did, taking accountability versus.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
No, you did. You did, Like me sending you an
email is more reliable than me handing it to you,
like honestly, it definitely happened, yes, but no, I think
employers now, like everybody they expect because they know you
got it, then it's kind of like, well, why didn't
you respond sooner? And my problem is if I don't,
I don't like the little bubbles. So if I don't
respond to it right away, I make the bubble go away.
(15:32):
And if I don't do something about whatever it was,
then I'll forget and go to the next one. You
know what I mean, Like, either I'm either responding to
make the bubble go away, or I'm not responding at all,
I'm deleting it. So I think that you know, it
basically means that you're kind of always working. Essentially, you're
always available to be working in some capacity.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Oh yeah, there is no disconnect.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
No, And then I think we're all now programmed to
feel uncomfortable if there were, Like, honestly, if you were
to say, all right, no problem, then we're just going
to take your phone away after whatever time and don't
worry about it, Like you don't have to respond because
you don't have the phone. Now I'd be like itching
right way to hold on what I'm missing right exactly,
So there's no win. We're all we're all programmed this
way now It's UH National want to get Away Day,
(16:13):
so plan a trip like Kiki, or have some friends
who won trips and they'll take you for free, or
have a sister with money. It's National Splurge Day and
National Go Fishing Day to day

And hold on a second, what if players are done
with the Stanley Cup? And then I saw I guess
it was yesterday or two days ago. It was in
the West PONMD Beach, airport. They like the Stanley Cup
is in a big box, like a big you know,
(04:12):
I don't know. It looks like it's some sort of
like touring merchandise, you know, or whatever. And it was
just going down the conveyor belt at the airport, like
where you'd get your bed. It was just like and

in Florida. President Trump says he will probably extend on
the TikTok deadline yet again.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Thank you, I mean, finally do something good something.

and whether you agree or disagree with what he's doing,
it's like every time things seem to be not going great,
it's but hey, but TikTok's not going anywhere, and everyone's like, Okay,

but thank you. Yeah. This is why I'm gonna wind
up in the Illinois Radio Hall of Fame. It's it's
stuff that I think I don't know. Actually I don't
know where the real Yeah, the real Radio Hall of Fame.
(05:51):
I have no idea where that is. Either people are
getting inducted into it, but it's not a thing anymore.
It's I don't know where it is. In a hallway somewhere,
so I don't even know what it is.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
It's a concept, it's a deal.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
It was a concept that we'll never be in. So
it doesn't matter, No, it matters not. It doesn't matter
where it is, because we'll never have to attend the
ceremony not.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
To be shady so hard.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Don't worry. We'll be accused of being shady no matter
what you say, so even though we never have been. So.
New products slated for US release won't contain the dyes either.
Effective immediately. Kraftids joins rivals, including Pepsi and Catalog and
limiting or removing artificial dies amid a government push to
do so. The companies said almost ninety percent of its
products sold in the US today are already free. General
(06:36):
Mills has announced that it will be working to remove
artificial colors from all of its cereals in the US,
as well as from foods in schools as well, and
then by the end of twenty twenty seven, from all
of its US retail portfolio. So no more of that
tasty red dye nine or whatever it is. Lord have
Mercy food. It's still itself, it really is.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
I don't know what makes it good.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
You guys, it's just the color.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
We don't need it never be the same.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Oh no, I like I get extra online, but it's fine.
That's supposed to do right for it. Amazon is doubling
the length of its Prime Day event this year, which
is stretching the annual sale from the usual forty eight
hours to record ninety six, in the hopes that the
extra time will entice deal seeking shoppers as Americans tighten
their wallets. Also, I guess just spending online is down
(07:23):
like one percent, so everyone's freaking out about it. But
if you have Amazon Prime, then you have access to
Prime Day fourteen bucks a month or one hundred and
thirty nine dollars annually, and it includes perks like expedited shipping. Now,
I am not over here made of money by any means,
but I that's one of those things. I just I
don't even they could charge me anything. And I don't think.
I don't only think I know, like I don't. I
(07:44):
don't remember the last time I looked to see how
much I was paying for it. Like that's like a
lot of things, by the way, cell phones, a lot
of things like the insurance. I guess you're supposed to
shop for insurance, and insurance brokers could tell me this,
and they probably don't want me to say this, but
I guess you're supposed to shop for insurance every couple
of years, no matter what. I guess you're supposed to
call this to the mobile phone company to every couple
of years and be like, hey, I don't like it anymore,
(08:06):
and then we'll give it to you for you know
this much. It's like, why didn't you tell me that before?
What were you going to say? I don't remember, because
you lit up and then I was like, oh, I
guess it's going to be great. And then then I
was thinking it was going to be great. It was
going to be really great. But then I started.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Thinking about phones and who has the time to shop
around for new things? I got off process.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
We were so close to the Hall of Fame just then,
and then I know I saw hurt. I really had
something exciting to say, and I don't remember whatever it
was was going to get you in and not the
rest of us. So I appreciate it. You helped back,
I think. So she comes in every day and she
holds back. She gives us fifty percent, because if she
gave us even seventy it would only be Kaylen in
the Hall of Fame, and that it would be Kaylan
of the Fread Show, but not the Fread Show. And
(08:47):
a bust. I hear, you get a bust if you
get in the Hall of Fame. Yeah, a bust.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
I don't know how you get a plaque. I think
I think it's a plot.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
That's okay.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
I don't think it's an actual statue. So what do
you get? Do you just get to know you're in
it and you just can keep I don't know, uh huh, okay, yeah,
get it. It's no, it's it's nice. You know, it's
a nice thing. That's I mean, I love that. I'd
rather just have the thirteen, you know, honestly. Yeah, yeah,
(09:19):
like a nice paycheck and and the thirteen. That would
be fine and they actually exist versus the building that. Hey, look,
if you by all means, if you can get in there,
if you can get in any kind of hall of fame,
good for you. Congratulatem. It's wonderful. I just I don't
care because we'll never get in. Oh. For the first
time ever, more people have streamed on their TV than
(09:41):
watch cable and broadcast television combined, which I don't think
that should surprise anybody, because I feel like, for the
most part, when people talk about the stuff they're watching,
it's on one of the streaming services, you know. I mean,
I can't remember the last time, honestly, and this is
not like it I'm making this up, but I can't
remember the last time somebody was like, did you see
the latest PBS special? And I'm not picking on I'm
not picking on PBS. I just don't They don't advertise
(10:02):
with us, so I don't get canceled. I don't know. Yeah,
actually you know what Sesame Street should live forever, so whatever,
But like, I don't know who advertised with us. I
don't want to pick on anybody, but I can't remember
the last time somebody was like, man, you've got to
tune in around seven tonight. Yeah, you know, you get
your intenna out, man, or just tune in, Because even
if it is on broadcast TV, I feel like people
still stream it, Like I don't watch All American on
(10:24):
the CW. Sorry, I wait till the whole thing. It's
on Netflix, so I can binge it like any good
forty year old man would. I now watch Bravo on Peacock.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Like I used to watch it on my cable, like
I get cable for free from my building, but I
watch it all on Peacock.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Yeah. So it's like, well, and there's people in the media.
I don't care how you consume it. Just consume it, please, yeah, please,
and in a timely fashion if you wouldn't mind it,
you know, but yeah, please listen in the radio in
the car. The iHeart app is fine. And then if
you can't listen, then if you could listen, you know,
within twenty four hours, that would be ideal. We really
love that. But no, I don't. I'm sure they don't care.
That's why they have all these things, because it's be
(11:00):
where the people are. Is that what they say? I
think I learned that in my NBA class or something
for the NBA don't have And today were with many
stories all over the place. We're complaining. We're complaining about
the rise of the infinite work day. Many companies have
called workers back to the office that doesn't mean their
workday's end when they head home. New data from Microsoft
(11:21):
Today shows that one in five meetings now happens outside
of core business hours time during which the average employee
also sensor receives more than fifty messages. Some sixteen percent
of meetings happen after eight pm. After eight pm, I'm
offending if you want me to go to a meeting
at two pm, ABM is crazy, right, because our work
day starts at four, So, as far as I'm concerned,
(11:43):
our work day's over at noon. That's so. And if
you want to have a meeting, like, let's have it
at ten when the show's over, ten to fifteen while
the show's ending, coming here and talk to me while
we're ending, you know, because we've already been here then
for six seven. If you work, if you work abnormal hours,
my question is how many times has that place adjusted
(12:04):
for you versus versus doing it the way the manager
wants to do it based on a manager's hours, because
a manager has to justify his or her existence by
having a bunch of meetings. That's what I found. I
found there are meetings, meetings, meetings, meeting meetings all the time.
It's I'm telling you, it's so that people can be like, look,
i'm here, remember me, and I'm in the office. See
(12:24):
look at my calendar. Look right, I'm so busy, busy.
I don't want to be busy, Like call me when
you need me, okay, And between my office hours of
four and noon. No, anyone listening this really can appreciate that.
I'm sure. It's like, let's have the meeting at three o'clock,
Like three o'clock, that's midnight for me, or all the perks,
(12:46):
all the office perks happened at like for lunch for
everybody else. You know what I'm saying, Like it's it's
we're having a picnic at one o'clock. One o'clock, I
went to bed. I'm bed for the next day looking
up from here now I've had a second day already. Lunch,
we talk about lunch. No, it upsets me anyway. But
(13:08):
at eight o'clock meeting, like if you were nine to
five issue and they're making you go to work at
meetings at eight o'clock. No, I don't know about that.
But the emails are something that I mean, this has
been a thing for a long time, and there is
a policy run here that after five o'clock you don't
have to respond on an email till the next day,
which is just not feasible. Imagine that Jason imagine if
you only responded to all the emails that you get
(13:29):
for your seven jobs between the hours of nine and imagine,
can you imagine? No?
Speaker 2 (13:35):
But also what I started doing is I delayed deliver
my email, so at eight o'clock on the dot, all
my emails go out in every one's in boxes, all
the emails from me.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Like, there you go. You don't want me to email
during my working hours?
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Smare you go? Well, we used to have a plausible deniability,
you know, because we didn't have access to email on
the phone and the Internet was a little you know, unreliable.
Like my mom, my aunt and I were talking about
this yesterday behind my mom's back. My mom till this
day will be like I didn't, she said it to her. Everybody,
I didn't get that. No, you got the email the
internet interneted. I am one hundred percent certain that that
(14:10):
email arrived. Now what you did with it after it arrived,
I have no idea. But one thing I can tell
you for certain, okay, is that we both live in
major metropolitan cities, and I promised you that the email
was received.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
It's in my cent folder.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
You got it. It definitely happened, like we can't do
the thing anymore where it's like, oh man, you know,
like the in the early two thousands when it was
a kind of blackberries, but not everybody had one. I
know for some people there's like Bella was listening now
going huh, you know we didn't have internet on the phone.
No we didn't, And then you could leave work and
if you didn't have access to a computer, then you
wouldn't have gotten the email. So there's nothing that you
(14:46):
could do about it, so nobody could get mad at you.
But now if somebody emails me and says, hey, why
didn't you respond to that email? I cannot possibly feasibly
say I did not receive it. Now it came to
my phone or my iPad or one of my computer
it did it? Did?
Speaker 3 (15:01):
I'll fall and say I didn't see it, I didn't
read it. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Well say no. But saying you didn't read it is
different than trying to say you didn't receive it.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Oh yeah you did, taking accountability versus.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
No, you did. You did, Like me sending you an
email is more reliable than me handing it to you,
like honestly, it definitely happened, yes, but no, I think
employers now, like everybody they expect because they know you
got it, then it's kind of like, well, why didn't
you respond sooner? And my problem is if I don't,
I don't like the little bubbles. So if I don't
respond to it right away, I make the bubble go away.
(15:32):
And if I don't do something about whatever it was,
then I'll forget and go to the next one. You
know what I mean, Like, either I'm either responding to
make the bubble go away, or I'm not responding at all,
I'm deleting it. So I think that you know, it
basically means that you're kind of always working. Essentially, you're
always available to be working in some capacity.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Oh yeah, there is no disconnect.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
No, And then I think we're all now programmed to
feel uncomfortable if there were, Like, honestly, if you were
to say, all right, no problem, then we're just going
to take your phone away after whatever time and don't
worry about it, Like you don't have to respond because
you don't have the phone. Now I'd be like itching
right way to hold on what I'm missing right exactly,
So there's no win. We're all we're all programmed this
way now It's UH National want to get Away Day,
(16:13):
so plan a trip like Kiki, or have some friends
who won trips and they'll take you for free, or
have a sister with money. It's National Splurge Day and
National Go Fishing Day to day
