Speaker 1 (00:40):
Friend's Biggest Stories of the Day.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Thank you for the lovely text this morning, Fred, you're
three point two five stars if best now, I would
agree with you. But it comes back to what we
were talking about this time yesterday. Sometimes you got to
exude the thing, You got to kind of like radiate
the way that you want people to treat you. Right,
Like if I if I were to put which is
why you deserve all five, Jason, but you got to
put all five. Let them come to you. Let them
(01:04):
come to you and tell you that you're not.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Yeah, I don't know. I guess there's always like group.
I always want to say there's a room for improvement.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Well, I believe that too, But I'm not going to
tell them that. Oh I totally believe that. No, I'm
a highly flawed individual. I probably am three at best
on most of the scores. But I'm not going to
tell Why would I give them that. I'm not doing that? No,
and not like you're listening to this now, so they
don't They wouldn't know, guys. Biggest stories of the day.
A kiki is okay, but Japan's meteorological agency issued a
(01:32):
tsunami warning on Tuesday after a massive quake hit close
to Russia's peninsula. I don't even know how to say this.
I'm not going to try and say that it's a
specific peninsula. The United States geological surveys of the quake
was magnitude eight point eight, the world's strongest quake, sends
Japan's devastating nine point zero nine point one earthquake in
(01:52):
twenty eleven, tsunami waves did reach the West coast Alaska
and Hawaii. No damage is being reported as of about
an hour go after these waves hit the Hawaiian Islands.
One of the most powerful earthquakes ever recorded in Russia
triggered these warnings last night, and Hawaii saw four foot
waves that pushed some boats onto dry land, but no
further damage. The Governor's stressed, however, that the all clear
(02:15):
has not yet been given and urged people to stay
out of the evacuation area for now. He warned that
waves will not hit just one beach. They're going to
wrap around the islands, and at this point the warning
is now downgraded to an advisory in many locations. I
think it's like I think it's like two in the
morning there, or we would call Kiki now. She might
be awake. I know she was drinking tequila last night,
so she may kept it moving. I'm not sure, but
(02:38):
thank you to all the people who asked. Ikiki was okay,
and she did make a video about it, as one
would expect, so you can go to her socials and
find them. The gunman who opened fire in a Manhattan
office building killing four was reportedly targeting the NFL headquarters,
but took the wrong elevator, so people, I mean, no
one should have died, of course, but people wound up dying.
(03:00):
That had nothing to do with his angst, which of
course had nothing to do with anything. But the mayor
says that the shooter blamed the NFL for his alleged
brain injury.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
In a suicide note.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
He accused the League of hiding the dangers of head
injuries and requested that his brain be studied. One NFL
employee was injured, and the league said that they have
since titaned security. So very very scary, and unfortunately a
police officer was killed in that yesterday as well, or
two days ago. The average US household is working over
(03:31):
two hundred and seventy bucks a week for groceries, according
to stats from the Census Bureau. But if you want
to know the most expensive and the least expensive states
for groceries, the most expensive state for grocery is Hawaii.
Three hundred and thirty four dollars is the weekly average
grocery bill, then Alaska at three twenty nine, California, Nevada, Mississippi, Washington, Florida,
(03:52):
New Mexico, Texas, and Louisiana as for the least expensive states,
and I'll go from least up Wisconsin twenty one dollars
a month or a week. Rather for groceries, I went Nebraska, Michigan,
West Virginia, New Hampshire, Indiana, Missouri, Montana, and Delaware. And
I have no idea what to compare this to. Because
there's a single guy who lives alone. I find that
when I buy groceries, I half of them go to
(04:13):
waste because I don't eat the quantity that's in the thing,
or you know, you buy five bananas and I eat
three or four. But I feel like if there were
people in the house, I probably buying food all the time.
Maybe just eat whatever's they are, right.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Yeah, Well, I have a man in the house and
you guys eat.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
So how much do you spent on groceries then for
you and Gigi and firefighter man?
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Honestly, maybe like two fifty a week roughly? You go weekly? Yeah,
I go weekly? Oh yeah, yeah ye.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
I have to, like even for the baby and stuff
and then hobby. It is nice though, because I'll girl
dinner rate up when he's at the firehouse, because I
don't have to cook a full meal. But I don't
want my baby to girl to you know, dinner, eat
with me. She should get nutrition, like I should make
her a real meal. So I'm still cooking, but I
guess it's not as much when it's at the firehouse.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
I want to get back to that though in a
I've had something on my list here for a couple
of weeks and again back to it in just a minute.
So there's my teas. It has to do with with
inexpensive eating, because I was having this conversation with a
friend of mine the other night and we were talking
about it. So I'll get back to it after the
entertainment report. This is an interesting one and I'd love
to I need to understand this better.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
But a new.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Survey by the Harris Poll suggested that gen zers so
gen z is yeah, you know, I get this all
messed up. Gen Z is defined as what ages? What
is the age range of gen Z that's like Bella
so so like twenties right now.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Like early twenties to late twenties, ninety seven right to
twenty twelve.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Yeah, if you're Karen.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
A new survey has found at what age gen zers
say that they aim to reach financial independence. They say
thirty two. Now, this isn't what you think it is.
This isn't like I'm off my parents' dime. The survey
defined financial independence is having the financial resources to meet
your needs and pursue your goals without relying on employment revenue. Yes,
(06:00):
gen Z is defined by the ages of eighteen to
twenty eight. According to this, so at thirty two, they
believe that they could be essentially not requiring of a
nine to five a check of like a paycheck. The
survey to financial independence is having the financial reasons to
(06:20):
meet your needs and pursue your goals without relying on employment.
So you would have enough money by thirty two. And
this is quite the aspirational goal. I mean, if you
can achieve this, that's amazing. But by thirty two you
would have enough money that you could go off and
do other things that you wanted to do that we
are passion projects or whatever, and you wouldn't need to
rely on the income from that thirty two.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
That's beautiful, It really is for them.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
According to this article, though from market Watch, reaching financial
independence by age thirty two is an ambitious goal, especially
when the oldest members of gen Z are already almost there.
While the goal may be partly based on wishful thinking,
it may also be a result. This is a quote
of gen Z's disillusionment, which additional pass to financial success.
The survey found that sixty percent of gen Z members
(07:04):
say that working a full time job will not allow
them to reach their financial goals. I guess I don't
know how you're going to do it. Then, I mean,
I'm all for if you can achieve this, that is incredible.
If you could, at thirty two years old, have enough
money that you can, you know, venture out and do
other projects and experiment and try other things, that's amazing.
I'm a little older than that, and I'm not there, right,
And I've been working since I was like I've had
(07:25):
a paying job of some form since I was like
fourteen years old. So I yeah, I don't know. Good
for you, though, I hope it happens.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Let me know.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
And I know you have a story about Happy Gilmore
two that's coming up. But they did ask the world,
the whole world, who thinks this guy's funny?
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Yes, please, who thinks Adam Sandler is funny? Because I
will say as you will learn here in a few
minutes in the Entertainer Report. And it's not very surprising.
His fans are ravenous like they are. He has ride
or die folks like no Adam Sandler has rider dive
folks like no other. Funny Happy Gilmore One was funny.
He was funny, and he is He can be funny,
(08:03):
but it is a very specific kind of humor that's
not for everybody. I mean, I did laugh at Happy Gilmour,
but I will say at One I didn't watch too,
But I will say I don't think I laughed only
because of him. There were a lot of funny parts
in that movie, right. But they asked the question, how
funny do you think Adam Sandler is? The majority of people,
(08:23):
seventy one percent think that he is somewhat or very funny,
and twenty two percent ce Sandler as somewhat or very unfunny.
At about eight percent just aren't sure. So most people
think he's funny, like real funny. So there, I mean,
are any of those people in this room. No.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
I love him so much as a person, like I
think he's one of the greatest people to walk this earth.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
I love how he set up his life extreme. No,
it's not.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
I mean he's kind, he doesn't care about like bougeness.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
He is good to fans like I truly think. He
wears a T shirt and basketball shorty.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
He brings his friends alone for the ride. Oh yeah,
he's a long term marriage. He's a great dad. He
speaks kindly about other people. He's a good friend. I
really love him. That being said, it's not for me,
but I like movies where he's in like Big Daddy
or fifty First Dates where he's like kind of a
quirky guy but he's so you know, Okay, well that's mine.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Do you guys like, no, I was your issue with
the guy? I just I don't. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
I guess it's not like maybe my sense, my sense
of humor is a little darker and a little dirtier
than him. That's another thing is he's clean for the
most part. Like it's pretty much down the middle, and
it's very access about.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
No.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
I mean, very talented guy, but seventy one percent I
think that that guy's very very funny.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
I've seen The Wedding Singer and I like that movie.
He was but that was a funny movie.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Too. I mean, he's involved with funny stuff, even if
you're not a fan of his particular delivery, so it's
all good. But everything he does like goes. It's like
the greatest thing ever.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
For everybody names a lot like, it's a lot for me.
Now I've lost. I had it for.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
It's National Climb a Mountain Day, National Whistleblower Day, National
Father in Law Day, and Esnational Cheesecake Day to Day,
which I'm happy to celebrate. I've been meaning to get
to that, but I'm letting the ideas come to me.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Is what I'm doing.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
What I'm doing right now as I play this song,
is I'm creating space for what's next.
This is the press show.
