and take a walk.

Speaker 4 (02:07):
Should I even like have other stories in the report?

Speaker 1 (02:10):
I don't even. I don't know, no, but I you
know there's no one with more passion for Taylor than
in two of you.

Speaker 4 (02:16):
So yeah, can I join you?

Speaker 1 (02:17):
I'll push the button. I'm just gonna just have it.
Just kick my feet up, have a little coffee, let's
get some breakfast. I don't know. Yeah, it'll be great.
Let me know when it's over. I'll go make a
protein check. I don't know. The New York Attorney General
has follow a lawsuit on Wednesday against Early Warning Services,
which operates the electronic money transfer service Zell. The pseudo

(02:39):
ledges that they knew that key features of Zel made
it susceptible to fraud and didn't implement any safety features
and allowed scammers to steal over a billion dollars. Zell's
irreversible transfers also meant that many customers were not able
to get their money back after realizing they were scammed.
Do other ones? I mean, I use Zel? Can you
just get your money back on other one? I know

(03:00):
Paulina doesn't know because she tried to scam them all
and isn't allowed on them anymore. She's not allowed on
any of the money transfer website. I'm actually I kidding,
You're not.

Speaker 4 (03:08):
No, I'm not allowed.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
Why why again are you blocked from them? What did
you do well? You know, did you overdraft or what
did you do well?

Speaker 4 (03:16):
That's every day. But I was doing a little moving around.
I moved some stuff around. I had a couple of accounts.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
Were you actually trying to scam them or is it
a misunderstanding?

Speaker 4 (03:26):
I was trying to scam myself. Basically, I was moving
money back and forth from account to account.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
So you're money laundering yourself, except there was no money
to launder. Correct, Yes, that's layers of issues. There insufficient
funds for money laundering.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
Yes, with multiple accounts, you're trying to rip yourself wild.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
Yeah, so let me back on right, you're the victim
of you. So why can't you go on? Yes? Weird exactly?
Why can't you do on? There?

Speaker 3 (03:52):
Me?

Speaker 1 (03:52):
Anyway? A Zell spokesperson called the New York lawsuit a
political stunt to generate press and we'll see what happens.
That a Breeze Airways flight from Norfolk to Los Angeles
had to make an emergency landing in Grand Junction, Colorado,
after a drunk passenger caused chaos. Witnesses said that the
guy swung a skateboard, which you're allowed to have a
skateboard on a planet. It seems like like I can

(04:14):
bring a two by four, I can bring half of
a two by four in a plane. I can put
my bike on there. I mean, I don't know. It
just seems like a large, you know, piece of wood
with mental attends, I can bring that on. It just
doesn't sound safe, right. But the man swung the skateboard,
yelled racist slurs, and attacked officers with a waste belt

(04:34):
I'm not sure where that is, and broke free twice
after crew members restrained him. A flight attendant and a
passenger had minor injuries. The suspect is a guy named
David from la He was arrested and police handed him
over to the FBI. The delay force passengers to wait
for a new plane and crew before continuing to La America.
Is breaking up with alcohol? Is that true in this room? No,

(04:55):
not at all. I think I think it's true for me,
I don't.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
I yeah, I feel like I'm just starting to get
going I'm like.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
You're just not you were just not getting into boo
I'm like, oh, what's going to make me sick? What's
not going to make me sick? Like?

Speaker 2 (05:12):
What can I do to like situational? Like what works
for me? Like I'm finally like in a shride? Now
y'all are giving up?

Speaker 4 (05:21):
Is this like when we made Jason watch The Bachelor
and like it was literally the next season. We were
like all right, even Shelley was like I can't and
then we have been doing it for years and he was.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
Like, Okay, Wow, you're just getting into booze.

Speaker 3 (05:33):
Yes, like last night at the concert, I had two drinks. Wow,
Wednesday night. Yes, that never happens.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
Now, do you do you ever drink anything that's not
the color of a highlighter? Like do you ever drink
like a nice saving Young blanc or a I don't know,
a cab.

Speaker 3 (05:48):
No, I drink like a nice moscatototo?

Speaker 1 (05:53):
Okay, yes no, But I mean I think I've never
been like a regular drinker. I've never been the guy
that comes home from work at eleven am and pours
myself a cocktail, like you know, even though that's the
seven hours at eleven am. No. I mean, that's that's
kind of the end of our day and that would
be our five PM. But no, I've never I've never

(06:15):
done that. No, I can't imagine. I think a lot
of people in this well anyway, I'm gonna I'll stop here.

Speaker 4 (06:20):
But yeah, the industry was wild in the seven wild.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
We've heard stories the industry was wild like recently. But no,
it's I'm not It's true. Like I think alcohol, drugs
are prevalent, you.

Speaker 4 (06:34):
Know, well, hold on, drugs are prevalent.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
In this industry.

Speaker 4 (06:40):
Yeah, absolutely, I'm joking.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
Yeah, you know, I'm talking globally. I don't know what
you know, what everyone is talking about. No, I mean
I sometimes wish I had been born though, I feel
like I was born too late too, because like this,
this gig in the in the seventies or the sixties
or even the eighties would have been amazing. We would
all had cigarettes in our hands.

Speaker 4 (07:00):
And BMW's downstairs.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
Yeah BMWs. We would have had like full retirement funds.

Speaker 4 (07:04):
They would be matching frend show BMW.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
Yeah, we all got just for signing on and uh,
you know, and there would have been lines of coke
just right here, Like.

Speaker 4 (07:14):
I would be better in jail, like I would like,
but it would.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
Have been fun. And would you would have died rich?
You know, story would have been way different. I mean
it would have been way different than Yeah. But yeah,
I see videos of these guys like these, these guys
in their heyday, like these they call them the boss jocks,
like the big time radio personalities and big cities, and
they're all in their little booth and they just they're
just chain smoking cigarettes and drinking beers and just just

(07:41):
playing the hits man and yeah, reading newspapers. Yeah, and
it's just that part I don't miss. Can you imagine
we come in here every day and try and come
up with stuff to talk about. It's like we had
to sort through eighteen newspapers to find it. I mean,
at least we have this. I would have taken the
money and read the newspapers. But it's fine, it's all good.
But people are breaking up with booze. A new Gallup

(08:01):
poll found only fifty three percent of Americans now think
that even moderate drinking is bad for your health. That's
almost double from twenty fifteen. Yeah, so I I've never
been like the two drinks a day guy. I feel
like I either go out and drink ben Basically i'd
binge drink and it was like once a week I'd
go out and hit it. And it wasn't on purpose.
It was just like that's, you know, to go out
with your friends and that's just kind of what happens.

(08:23):
Or I wouldn't drink at all. And now I don't
even do the latter because a lot of my friends
don't drink at all anymore. They've stopped drinking in favor
of THHT or.

Speaker 4 (08:30):
You're in that phase of life, right, So like it's the.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
Only reason I was even doing that was because my
friends were doing it. Was it was the activity. You know,
we'd meet like at a bar and we'd sit there
and talk for like hours on Friday. But then the
booze were there. And I wasn't drinking because I wanted
to necessarily or because I needed to. It was because
it was there, and so I stopped. And it's like
I don't miss it. I'm that girl.

Speaker 3 (08:56):
Because it's annoying because now y'all then I'll had y'all
little face, and now Jason and I want to go
turn up.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
And it is my face lasted twenty five years.

Speaker 3 (09:06):
Everybody's like, oh, I'll just have water or just I'll
have you know, I'm not drinking a night like why I'll.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
Still have a drink, but I'm not like I'm not
trying to get turned the way that I once was.
Just turn up, just drink please. But yeah, I mean
these people are all sighting health, and I think for me,
it's just more I don't know, I I'd rather do
something else, like what like, you know, something all natural,
you know, like a like a blue chew blue. I'd

(09:33):
rather just do blue cheers. Yeah, La boobo is a
trending today. I'm all over the place. But you guys,
I know you were very worried about the heist, the
thirty thousand dollars boo boo heist. We were they had
caught the culprit.

Speaker 4 (09:45):
It was Coco.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
There's a lite who works here, and then she sold
them all to us in the black market using cell
also scamming us. But she doesn't drink anymore. So it's fun.
Big Taylor swift girl. She changed her little plaque on
her desk to orange glitter.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
Detextas say that thieves hit a warehouse, grab the high
end collectibles, high in demand high end collectibles, and we're
prepping to ship them all over the country. Police caught
up with the suspects somewhere and they have returned all
of these solen Labooboo toys to their rightful owners. The
latest TikTok beauty trend, How don't you know why? This

(10:28):
is a trend. It's called the tired girl? How about
just me like all the time? Like where have you been? Right?
Celebrates the look of not having been to bed. This
trend embraces imperfections that are usually concealed, like dark under
eye circles and pale skin, turning them into international style statements.

(10:52):
The tired girl esthetic is a departure from the clean
girl look, which emphasizes a fresh face, polished appearance. Instead,
it leans into a more rebellious and raw beauty with
influences and celebrities embracing a grunge inspired undone style. Now
this I can get behind. Well, you don't. None of
us have to do anything. We are all on trend

(11:15):
with this, like we are ready to go, yes, no
doubt about it.

Speaker 4 (11:18):
Discover stuff that we've been doing for years. But hey,
as long as I'm on trend, that's called life.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
Yeah, Taco Bells Mountain to Baja Blast. This is for you.
Polina and only Polyna is getting its first permanent new
flavor in two decades. This might be for you too, Kiki.
The chain's latest push into the fast growing beverage sector.
The fast food chain is rolling out Baha Midnight and
that's today. Baja Midnight, a new purple huge version of

(11:44):
the cult favorite soda, which mixes passion fruit flavors with lime.
Oh that sounds amazing, I know you, Yes, obviously you'd
say that. Yes, it's purple. It's the color of the
liquid inside of a highlighter. Kiki is drawn to it.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
Yes, I've never had a bad bah Blast, never true,
Like you know, it's all it's gonna hit every time.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
I can drink a nice, a nice you know, coke,
even a PEPSI occasionally dr pepper something, you know, just
hit me with the full fat whatever. But once we
start getting into you know, like bright yellow neon color,
I mean, I just I don't know, it's too much
for me. It's it's too much all around the color,
the flavor. I just I can't that color doesn't exist

(12:27):
in nature anywhere.

Speaker 4 (12:29):
Pour some booze in it and go and get your
days started.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
Drink lean into your alcoholis a man. Your ancestors are
ashamed of your generations of alcoholics are sad that you're
ending this. First of all, you're not giving any Frederick offspring.
And you're gonna stop drinking too. Who the hell are you?

(12:53):
You're not part of this family. And finally, I just
want to I want to wish is speedy recovery? All right,
I'm scared. No, I mean, I mean this is a
speedy recovery to a guy named Matt Bar from London.
Now Matt Bar You may know his name, you may not,
but he is officially the guy who has the world's

(13:16):
largest man part oh fourteen point five inches and apparently
there's hazards. This is a real quote. Okay, this is
an actual quote. Matt says that he recently slipped in
his shower because, in his words, it's not easy to
see my feet. What I don't have that problem. I

(13:36):
can see him very clearly. Why do you need to
see your feet? And last, so the fall left him
with two fractures in his shoulder.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
Oh it sounds like he's just clumsy, but one of
the flex right like that, right again.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
I can't believe it. Over another black eye and control this.
This is a real story today. The fall left him
with two fractures in his shoulder. He's now taking it slow,
using a bath mat, and rethinking vacations. Apparently public pools
and board shorts can be tricky as well. I can't

(14:18):
believe this is a real news story.

Speaker 4 (14:20):
He's actually crying, and I don't think he's crying yours.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
As he puts it, it's just another day navigating life
with anatomy, unlike anyone else's. Oh you know you already
got the gift, man, Like, just shut up, just shut up.
Nobody feels bad for you. I actually kind of do
because because he's early, and you know, we have some

(14:47):
conservative listeners in places, I gotta be careful. But like
we do, I'm not certain that that's I'm not sure
that's always a good thing. It's given. He doesn't know
how to use that. He just has, you know what
I mean, shoot himself right.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
If he's tripping over it, you don't know how to
do it.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
You don't know what you're doing if you're tripping over it.
I wish that the news would interview me, and the
quote could be, well him, I can't see my feet,
so you know, right, you know what I mean? It's
it's I think it. It's not for everybody. I mean,
think about that. I need you guys to use your

(15:24):
brains and not make me say it. I don't mean
you guys mean everybody. What I mean is I don't
think every recipient is interested in that. Absolutely not. I
don't think everyone's trying to climb that mountain. Nope.

Speaker 4 (15:35):
And then there's you know, yeah, that's a new question Ki.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
He's asking on the dating apps, can you see your feet?
Never mind
