Speaker 1 (01:34):
You might as well just shut.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Down the on demand podcast because we can't put anything.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
We can't really, not even twenty seconds of me.
Speaker 5 (01:42):
I don't be because every rule I don't care about.
You gotta come serve me with papers before I stopped

Speaker 4 (01:50):
Oh Jason, cool, flag, let's come.

I love it you. You'll never hear that again. Thank you.
I don't know you're live. I don't I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
I don't know, Jay, you know, they just ignore those emails.
We don't have to respond to every email, do we? Oh?
Speaker 1 (02:09):
No, I don't.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
I know you're a rule follower. I love you for it,
but it's not my money. No, we need Jason.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
That's how I feel about it. It's not my money.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
So.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
The massive size of Hurricane Aarin in days of powerful
winds over the open ocean have caused water levels along
the East Coast to rise. Tidal gauges from South Florida
to New York are all running at about a foot
higher than normal, prompting authorities to close or restrict swimming
at many beaches. Despite not making landfall, the category two
storm is still producing heavy rains, strong winds, powerful rip currents,
(02:46):
and dangerous storm surge. According to the National Hurricane Center,
tropical storm force winds are now extended up to three
hundred and twenty miles from the hurricane's eye up to
two hundred and sixty five miles As of late Wednesday,
North Carolina is under a state of emergency. Evacuates have
been ordered in parts of the outer Banks, which may
see waves of twenty feet or higher. The Menendez brothers
(03:06):
this was the story last year. They were like moments
away from getting out of jail. It was like they
packed their bags. It was imminent. Then the governor lost
the election and they were like, not so fast, guys,
that we're sending your lease. You're staying a little longer. Well.
Their parole hearing begins today after decades behind bars, the
Menendez brothers will make their cases for parole starting later
(03:27):
on today. Eric and Lamanendez were sentenced in nineteen ninety
six to life in prison for the murders of their
parents in nineteen eighty nine, and there were a series
of documentaries and there was you know, the whole TV
show about it on Netflix and you know the drama
series about it. They became eligible for parole after a
judge reduced their sentences back in May from life in
prison without the possibility of parole to fifty years to life,
(03:49):
making them immediately eligible under California law because they were
under the ages of twenty six when they committed the crimes.
A panel of parole hearing officers will evaluate the brothers individually.
Eric's hearing taking place later today. In Lyle's hearing being
held tomorrow, McDonald's is slashing prices.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Everything must go.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Yes of its combo meals just a few weeks after
the CEO publicly admitted that its menu has gotten too
expensive and pledged to fix the problem. McDonald's and its
franchise ease agreed to a price reduction of eight popular
combo meals fifteen percent less than a total cost of
buying the items, separately, with the chain offering financial support
to franchisees if they agree to lower the prices. According
(04:29):
to a source familiar with the company's plans, the lower
prices will go into effect next month. A survey says
seventy four thousand dollars is the perfect salary for the
average American. Wow, seventy four grand will do it. I've
been to McDonald's lately, so I don't think seventy four
(04:50):
grand will do it. But seventy four thousand dollars the
ideal salary for achieving financial comfort and happiness.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Now, I'm sharing a lot of people listening.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
We'd love to make seventy four grand, and it's a
lot of money, but I feel like everything's so expensive
right now. That's a significant gap between perception and reality.
Though about half of the respondents feel their current income
fall short of supporting their desired lifestyle. This highlights ongoing
concerns about wage stagnation and the rising cost of living.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Side hustles are booming.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Thirty two percent of non business owners are considering one,
twenty nine percent already run one. I'm charging one thousand
dollars for a date now, which is exciting, And fifty
two percent of entrepreneurship say entrepreneurship is as viable as
a traditional job, so everyone's having to do more. You
got your job, you got your side hustle. What's it
going to be, Kiki? What's the side hustle going to be?
(05:40):
You're on eighteen radio stations, and you're on the Fread Show,
and you're on a podcast, and you're on a little
the Shade Room TV thing on YouTube?
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Yes, anything else? I know you went back to KFC.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
Well you gave me my next one this morning with
one thousand dollar dates. Yeah, if you would like to
go on a day with me, please apply now, one
thousand dollars please.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
I feel like Big Tim would probably, you know, things
would move a little fit if you were going on
thousand dollars dates.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
I think Big Tim would go even slower.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Life don't make that money money, which goes back to
my point from before, which is like, what is this
woman's incentive to stop? Right? She's why invest in me
if there's anything wrong with me? As you got a
little nose hair sticking out. Thanks for the thousand, I'll
see you next time. Yep ah, this is very sad.
Do you guys know who Judge Frank Caaprio is. He's
the beloved Caught in Providence TV judge known for his kindness,
(06:27):
old guy. People would come into his courtroom and they'd
tell their story and he'd usually try and find a way.
If they owed money for a parking ticket or something,
people would donate and he would to work with people.
He passed away at the age of eighty eight from
pancreatic cancer. He served as the chief judge in Providence
from nineteen eighty five to twenty twenty three and became
famous online for showing empathy while handling minor offenses. He
(06:49):
also supported education through scholarships and community work. He's survived
by his wife, Joyce, and five children. The guys videos
are all over the place. He was a pretty great
guy and a wisconsinant woman cost ten thousand dollars in
damage to a DoorDash driver's vehicle because her order of
ten chicken wings wasn't delivered.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
I understand this, lady, both sides.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
There was nothing more for us. As DoorDash is number
one customer in the world. I believe that I might be.
Speaker 6 (07:13):
It is possible they should have like a top ten
percent where you guys get like merch, like a tracksuit
or something.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
If you go to Chipotle enough and you get that
golden Chipotle card, I feel like a tracksuit would be
an order. Yeah, because that would be the kind of
thing I wear. When I ordered door Dash four times
a day, I wonder wrout my record. I think my
record is probably five in a dive. Well what are
you doing?
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Like, okay, you look too over there. Well, okay, maybe
I ordered breakfast. Well, let's not shame him. Let's not
shame Maybe I.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Ordered breakfast that sound I don't have to cook. Maybe
I ordered lunch. Okay, this is not all the time.
This is my record. This is like this happened one
maybe one day. Maybe I got some lunch and then
I think maybe I ordered dinner, and and then I
wanted a beverage. But the beverage wasn't available at the
dinner place. So I combined the order, which I guess
is technically one order, but sometimes they send two people
(08:09):
to do that. They should be more efficient, They should
figure out a way that like if you order more
than one thing on your order that but whatever. And
then it's possible that later in the day, I thought
maybe dessert was an order. Yeah, somebody slipped me a
THHG gummy. It's or maybe they hit slipped me the
THHG gummy from the beginning. It's possible. It's not probable,
(08:30):
but it's possible. This is a hypothetical that I'm sharing with.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
You get nervous, like does ice cream like make it
to you pretty good?
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Still in the winter especially it's fine the summer, it
can get a little.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Then you just throw it them the freezer to maybe,
But that's a.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
That is a that's a desperation move, like that is
a I gotta have it. You know that very rarely happens.
But I've probably had a day. I've had a three
day for sure. What's your record too?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
One? I try to think of everything I need in
at one trip.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
I had this conversation with people all the time, and
they don't agree with me completely.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
But as a single guy, I go buy gros. Let's
say I buy one hundred bucks.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Forth the groceries I buy, you know, lunch meat, and
I buy fruit and you know whatever you buy in
a grocery store, all right, Well, what I mean is
like I buy, if I buy perishable stuff from the store,
I find that I throw a lot of it away
because I don't eat as much as I thought I
was going to eat, or I don't want to eat
the same meal three times in a row, or the
vegetables go bad quickly or whatever. So I'm not suggesting
(09:29):
that DoorDash is saving money. But for one person, I
don't think I spend as much more as you might think.
It might be thirty percent more, But that way nothing
goes to waste, and it's portion control because the only
food in my house really is whatever I order on DoorDash.
Whatever shows up, that's what I got. And when the food,
when it's gone, it's gone. There's no bag of chips,
there's no you know, there's no I'm not grabbing candy
(09:52):
and ice cream or whatever else. But for two people,
it seems to go up exponentially. Like when I was
dating someone and I was paying for two p peoples.
Now that is crazy. Yeah, now you're talking like one
hundred bucks in order, you.
Speaker 6 (10:04):
Know, start modifying too, like oh can I get the
shrimp instead of the chicken? And then I'm like, oh no,
it's another two dollars. Like even feeding a family honestly
so expensive either if DoorDash or groceries, good thing about it.
Even just to cook a meal, I need like this, right,
I need this spice, and you gotta add that.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
I'm like that all this adds up.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Yeah, and it will be impossible if you had a
big family, but that way you got to be cooking
like big pots of stuff in that case.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
But for just me, no, it makes way more sense
for you. And people think I'm crazy. And it's definitely more.
It's definitely more, and it's not as healthy. So I
start buying like fruit and stuff to eat and to
supplement because you know, I know it's restaurant food. It's
not going to be the healthy I'm not arguing it's
the healthiest food, but from a money standpoint, I throw
a lot.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Of food away. Yeah, groceries are scam, the whole the
whole industry. My hot take today it is. Yeah, so
this woman costs.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
One hundred excuse me, ten thousand dollars in damage to
a DoorDash driver's vehicle because her order of ten chicken
wings wasn't delivered. So frustrating when you know, when you
were too lazy to go get the food yourself, but
damn it, the thing I really really wanted wasn't in
the bag. The woman used the door Dash app to
find the driver, whose service was interrupted during a delivery.
The driver suffered a Wi Fi issue, so she wasn't
able to find a woman's house, but somehow she found
(11:10):
the driver, and then he hit the vehicle with a
tire iron, which smashed several windows and also threw a
brick at it. The woman was arrested after the incident
and faces three and a half years in prison for
a felony criminal damage to property. Wow, I got to
hear both sides, though I'm with Kaitlin, you know, I mean,
how hard did this person try and deliver it? The
(11:31):
other thing I've noticed lately is that, oh this sometimes
they'll just drop the food wherever. Like the other day
they dropped the food across the street from my house.
I took a picture of it delivered. Oh, and I
had to look at the picture and like be like,
that looks like the inside of another building somewhere completely.
Or they'll just put the food in front of someone
else's door and just leave, and I'm like, my food,
We're I have to go search. It's it's like a
(11:51):
like a hunt. It's like where's Waldo, you know, for
my five guys. You know, if you're gonna pay that
much for food, can we at least please make sure
that it rives? Please, Like Jason, I'm sure. Oh I know, Jason,
you probably made sure you handed.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
It to him. Yeah, oh, I always fell the directions.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
But we also want to see what that customer like
left in the directions because sometimes people don't be making sense,
or they put the wrong number, or they don't put
a unit number or something like that, like it's a
two way street.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
You guys, let me ask you this as a former
door desk driver, you're an executive now you've elevated. Yes,
if someone's staying in a hotel and you have access
to the floor, or if they live in a building
a high rise and someone can let you in, do
you believe that the DoorDash service includes delivery to the door,
(12:41):
or do you believe that it's good enough to just
leave it in the lobby and off you go.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
This is going to be an unpopular opinion, especially for you,
but I don't want to bring it into your building.
And it's purely not from a lazy standpoint. It's from
like a safety standpoint, Like I don't like going into
a hoteler into a building and going to someone's door
like it just it like freaks me out. I'd rather
try to keep it as public as possible, Like I'll
(13:06):
go into the hotel and leave it on the desk, right,
and then you have to come down and get it. Yeah,
but it just freaks It's like too personal for me
to go into someone's building walk down your dark hallway
to your door, like it just scares me.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Okay, dark holl what buildings are you going into?
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Some buildings are sketchy, okay, and it's scary.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Okay. I'm curious from your perspective what you thought that
the service included.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
I think it's fair for to leave it in the
lobby and for you to go down and get it.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Okay, fair enough.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Senior Citizens Day today, guys, and the entertainer report, vlogs
waiting at the phone All next
