Speaker 2 (01:21):
Okay, whatever the labo you guys, we're getting caught up
on the details this morning. But it doesn't matter. All
those people are coming to the big event that I'm having.
When I win one point three billion dollars, Okay, we're

Speaker 3 (01:30):
Would be great, Like this is the time I'm planning
the wedding. I really need you to win this money.
Oh I shudn't paying for your wedding to know I
would I will. I shouldn't say I would, because I'm
manifesting it.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
I will. I will.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
When I win one point three billion dollars tonight, I
will pay for your wedding.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
Probably gonna save this audio, please thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
Remember I didn't say now, don't be editing it now
because I didn't say I can hear it now. I
can hear the audio. It's it's I will pay for
your wedding. You'll take out the part where I said
if I win, right, win is a win for me.
So I have one point three billion dollars, no big
winners Monday, the fifth largest prizing game history, and the

(02:14):
drawing is tonight, the forty first drawing since the jackpot
was last one in May.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
So I don't know what that is? Six by six
hundred million something.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
Take home half of that three hundred Well, it's a
lot of money, and I think I could throw you
a very nice wedding. I believe I could get jaw
rule for you. Oh yes, with that amount of money.
How much does Joe how much for his private jaw
rule hunter? Let's oh jow Rule booking info. Seventy five

(02:45):
to one hundred and ten.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
That's it. Wait, one hundred thousand dollars?

Speaker 2 (02:51):
Oh no, I get well, first of all, if I
have three hundred million dollars, my budget could be a
little bit beyond that. But I guess I thought he
would be more job rule. He's got a lot of hits, man,
I mean, you can say what you want, but I
mean seventy five grand for all the hits?

Speaker 1 (03:04):
What if Frankie Jay was like, thirty grand for two hits, right,
two hits in a Southwest ticket?

Speaker 3 (03:08):
Like, and I couldn't even do that. That's crazy, That's
what I mean. You get a lot more hits. That's
a bargain kindness, Okay, I like how you're looking at this.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
Yeah, anyway, so tonight that so you go ahead and
if you'd like to buy a ticket, maybe you could
have a little runner up proably something like that. But unfortunately,
I'm going to win, and tonight is the night is
a night of love forever and ever. It's it's going
to be enough for me. So another day, another CEO
doing something stupid. This time is the Nesley CEO. I'm
sure I'm saying his name wrong. Lorent is his name.

(03:38):
He is no longer the CEO after an international internal
investigation found that he was involved in an undisclosed romantic
relationship with the subordinate. The company announced on Monday the
relationship violated the code of conduct. According to The Wall
Street Journal, this was a necessary decision, the chairman said.
Nesley's values and governance are strong foundations of our company.

(03:59):
I thank him for his years of service. They were
caught it a jaw Rule concert for seventy five thousand dollars,
which I haven't feeling that guy makes enough money. He
could have had his own private jaw Rule concert if
you wanted to, and then nobody would have known about this.
You if you are running a company and you are
dating a subordinate, you better just that better be the
best thing you've ever ever found in your life, because

(04:22):
there is a very high probability that you will get
fired for it. So you can't just be willing nearly
messing around in twenty twenty five, you know, as a
chairman or CEO, I don't care if you go to
a Cold Play concert or not. Like you gotta know
someone's going to find out about this. This isn't the
olden days anymore, with you know stamps and you know

(04:44):
people who smoked indoors like this is. This is a
different time in business. I mean, I feel like if
I run the whole company, I better be willing in
my mind, I better be like this. I'm willing to
go down for this. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
And if I'm smashing the CEO, why am I working?

Speaker 1 (05:00):
That's another thing?

Speaker 2 (05:03):
Good. Yeah, that's an excellent point, Like it would be
way cheaper for me, if I'm sleeping with a subordinate,
it would be way cheaper for me to just say,
you know what, I'll pay you not to work. Then
it would be to lose my millions and millions of
dollars as the head of Nestley, which is a major,
major corporation. Right, that's a very good point. So the

(05:23):
next time I dated subordinate, I'm gonna be like, look,
just I will pay your salary not to work here anymore,
because if we both get fired, then none of us
have any money. We're both brokies. It has excellent logic,
right there. Yes, so this has gone viral apparently now,
and I think this is a bad idea. But apparently
now there are colleges and there are more and more
of them that are allowing students to have dogs and

(05:46):
cats and other animals in their dorms. And I think
it's a bad idea because I was not able to
care for myself properly when I lived in a dorm.
I mean, you know what I mean, Like I could
barely wash myself, clean myself, get to class, you know,
just conduct myself as a grown up. And now it's
supposed to be responsible for an animal.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
Two in a door.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
Can you imagine if everybody in a dorm, your freshman
dorm had a pet. I mean it was already a
mad house. It would be like fifty times worse.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
I would love it.

Speaker 4 (06:16):
Yeah, And I think there's like calming about having pets around,
you know, so maybe it would teach responsibility responsible.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
Yeah, but I none of those things are untrue.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
It's just a matter of like, when you were eighteen
and you were in college, were you really in the
mindset to take care of something other than yourself?

Speaker 1 (06:35):
Were you even taking care of yourself. Some of my
friends had dogs in college and they were treated very
well your freshman year. Yeah, yep, in the dorm.

Speaker 3 (06:45):
Not in the dorm, no, but I mean yeah, you
just still take care of They still took care of
the dog perfectly fine.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
For students and companions, ship can help reduce stress, anxiety,
homesickness the college is also see benefits for students engagement,
helping build connections. All true pets changed the college experience
for their owners. Not all animals are welcome on pet
friendly campuses. Mi T, for instance, only allows cats and
limited numbers. That's not surprising.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
Mi T some of the smartest people ever.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
Bring family pets to live with them on campus after
their first semester. The college requires pets to have been
part of their students of the student's life for at
least six months before coming to campus, and they cannot
be venomous or aggressive.

Speaker 3 (07:31):
That's nice, venomous as long as you can feed the dog.
A lot of people have dogs. They can't feed them.
I'm like, you can't feed yourself. Why do you have
a dog? That's what I'm saying. I forgot to feed
myself half the time. When I was a freshman in college.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
I never forgot.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
But so where is the money? Where's the money for this? Like,
who has the money to be supporting it? I didn't
have any money. Again, I don't know about this.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
That internship is not going to cover Both of you
guys have money, so I don't.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
I don't know about this. When you can pay your
own rent, maybe then. Because I also I think people,
I think they should do some kind of a financial
assessment of people before they adopt an animal and psychological assessment.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
I agree with that.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
All my broke friends have dogs, and I'm like, the
dog gett x to be here, Like that's what I mean.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
For his life. All tell your friends are like, who
is it?

Speaker 3 (08:25):
I'm sorry?

Speaker 1 (08:27):
Two girls eat before me? Okay, right? I mean and
Robert they get there, you can do bo. Yeah. That
sounds like my house with my mom.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
You know, it's one hundred and twenty degrees in Phoenix
and she's cooking, you know, turkey burgers on the grill
for the dogs. It's like, because they like the grilled flavor, Michael,
do they.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
What they did? Right? And then it's like, can I
have one?

Speaker 3 (08:49):
No?

Speaker 1 (08:49):
Those are for the dogs. Oh, I'm sorry, I'll just go.
I'll just go. You know, I was gonna I was
gonna cuss right that. I don't know what's going on
with that. I'm not gonna cuss.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
TikTok is introduced new features allowing users to send voice
notes up to sixty seconds long, and show up to
nine images or videos indirect messages, both one to one
and group chats. These updates aim to enhance communication on
the platform, aligning TikTok's messaging capabilities with those of other
popular social I've already gone on the rants about this.
I don't like voice notes. I don't need it. It's

(09:23):
already a video platform. Make a video whatever you want
to do on there for everybody to see. The only
videos I should be receiving are those of the inappropriate nature. Otherwise,
call me or text me. I don't need to see
a video of you doing both, Like I don't. I
don't need to send you to send me a video
so I can to be I feel like that's about you,

(09:46):
that's not about me. Like if you send me a video,
it's like you want me to see your face say this,
like I can already see your face in my head
saying it like, I don't need it. I don't need that, Like,
just communicate efficiently or if you you really want Yeah, No,
Calen feels attacked and she's constantly sending me videos of
herself talking and I'm like, Gayleen, stopping right now for you?

Speaker 1 (10:07):
Then it was for me, but sorry.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
It's basically like, why are you so arrogant that you
think that I need to see your face when when
you're telling me something, it's like, I don't know what
I feel like, I just call or text or email.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
Can just make it quick? Isn't that fair though? To ask?
I mean I don't need to see it. Yeah, I
mean everyone can like and just like communication.

Speaker 4 (10:32):
But I think like sometimes like emotions have to be
conveyed visually, right, Like I need you to see how angry.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
I am in my face, hit me in the eyes.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
Okay, So now you're just sending me a video of
you yelling at me, Like I really want to open
it up, Like that's excited.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
You deserve this.

Speaker 5 (10:51):
Look at me like fingers in the air, you know,
pointing at you. Yes, that's exactly what I just see.
If it's that heated of a conversation that you can
have it in person. And I guess, I guess I
don't need videos of people screaming at me. I mean,
imagine if every passive aggressive email you got was actually
some of your boss or whomever actually saying it.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
I don't need it in my life. This is for you, Jason,
and only you.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
US Customs and Border Protection agents and Seattle have intercepted
eleven thousand counterfeit LaVoo Boo dolls, valued it over a
half a million dollars. These dolls are collectible figures created
by Hong Kong artists Casing Lung and produced by PopMart,
known for the distinctive ugly cute esthetic. The seas items
were clearly knockoffs. Clearly the counterfeit dolls won't be released

(11:38):
into commerce, but they reaffirm their ongoing efforts to intercept
shipments violating intellectual property rights. Uber eats will now bring
you an appliance to your house if you want it.
They've teamed up with best Buy because I'm always like, man,
I need a washing machine. I mean Uber eats that
the right share company's delivery arm. The poor person who
has to go pick that up and there in their Sophia,

(12:01):
right pull up, You're in your hotness civic, you know,
and it's like, what excuse? They aim to deliver things
like headphones, gaming, year, small appliances and more from the
electronics chain. The service will be offered via uber eats,
with over eight hundred stores involved. It's the latest collab
for best Buy, as the retail is also teamed up

(12:21):
with door Dash and Instacards. So yeah, I'll get a
washing machine delivered in my home. It's the final story today.
This is for Kaitlin and Kaitlin only you know, I
curate these for you guys, and I guess other people
can hear it. But whatever, KFC has whipped up a
pickled menu, but you have to go to Canada if
you want this. There's a big reason to be jealous
of Canadians. KFC Canada has dropped their pickled menu. The

(12:44):
limited time menu doesn't leave anything untouched by the pickle craze.
You can get a pickle sandwich, triple breaded fried chicken
layered with mao, bread and butter pickles, which are the
nastiest kind of pickles.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
Yeah, dill or get out.

Speaker 2 (12:59):
Yes, And if you send me a video of you
eating bread and butter pickle, we're not friends anymore.

Speaker 5 (13:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
Just for the record, there's also a dusting of deal seasoning.
There's a loaded pickle fries, pile crispy fries on classic
KFC fries with mayo and deal seasoning, fried pickled chips,
and then pickled pepsi. Oh my goodness, some kind of
pickle brine something like that.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
I don't know. Would you drink pickle pepsi? Yeah? Oh yeah, okay,
you try it.

Speaker 3 (13:35):
I mean like, well, I don't know, I'm a coke girl,
but like I would drink a pickle coke.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
Yeah, Like I've drank the juice out of the pickle
jar before. Yeah, so I feel like I would like it. Oh,
I love drinking the juice.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
Yeah, but that's different than drinking pickle juice is different
than drinking pickle juice and coke.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
Yeah, it sounds good to me, honestly disgusting. Yeah. Yeah,
I'm sorry. I can't. I can't. I can't. So you
guys want to try it first, you know, No, I'm
down to try it.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
Okay, Fine, somebody brings some pickle juice and tomorrow and
we're gonna pour it into pepsi and then you want
you to drink it.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
Sounds terrible, Okay, I'll do it.

Speaker 2 (14:13):
I don't have to try it. I don't have to
put everything in my mouth to know that it's disgusting.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
Yeah, some of us like to try first.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
Yeah, I can tell you all kinds of combinations. I
just don't need to try it. I'm fairly certain it's
not gonna be good. It's National Bowling League Day today.
