Speaker 1 (00:29):
It's all thanks to Live Nation Fred's Biggest Stories of
the day. So there's a government shutdown.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
Maybe you've heard of it. The federal government is at
a funding impasse. As what we're calling it, nine hundred
thousand federal employees Furloyd for furloyde Furloyd, fur load.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
Or for Lloyd.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
I like, I like my version better, I'm friends of
ownership for load or working without pay, Critical deadlines, loom
courts might shutdown. Military pay has been effected, and some
different social security safety net programs as well. Lawmakers are
under pressure to reach eight resolutions soon. Guys from Windows
ten has reached the end of support. What are we

(01:07):
on are we what windows are we on? Are we
on to eleven?

Speaker 1 (01:10):
Are twelve? Have we moved on to fourteen fifty? I
don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
I don't know how to find we're still on Windows well,
I mean I think we're on Windows eight on our.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
We're on eleven now?

Speaker 2 (01:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:23):
Okay, oh wow, no, wonder it.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
People have been all over me to get on some
kind of call with them to change the thing to
go to a I don't know. I'm like, I don't know, guys,
this works fine, I'm good, but I guess not no
more support for Windows ten. So I guess that means
that I wonder if we use software around here that
is in its first edition and they have eleven versions

(01:48):
of it, and I'm looking at one right now that
we use version one point five. They have eleven versions
of it, but we're still using one. So this doesn't
affect us at all.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
It'll be fun. And a peace.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
Agreement was signed in Egypt that enable to release of
surviving Gaza hostages in exchange for prisoners held in Israel.
Big news over the weekend, West chev is rolling out
a major cabin overhaul that could make extra legroom seats
more expensive for travelers, which that's not uncommon, But would
you pay to have to to be able to recline
your seat, Like, would you sit in a seat for

(02:19):
less money that didn't recline, because apparently that's another thing
that they're doing now. Santared economy would have the least
leg room. Under west Chet's new cabin rules, Economy seats
would have fixed recline, meaning you wouldn't be able to
lean back unless you pay for a seat in the
premium cabin. So the reclining charge is basically if you
want to seat the reclines that you'd have to book premium,

(02:39):
which costs more. So now we don't even get a
seat the recline, Like at least you got a seat,
you know, and on some airlines it was real thin,
you know what, like like super thin seat, you know,
not a lot of padding, but you got a seat
that went back a little bit. Now they're saying you're
going to have to upgrade if you want to seat
that reclined.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
I've been flying this way, so no surprise to me.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
Do you ever get the when you fly Spirit? Do
you ever get the big seat in the front.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
Now that's luxury?

Speaker 1 (03:04):
You ever get there?

Speaker 3 (03:04):
Yes, and it is.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
You get the big seats, you know.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
I wave it all the broke hees going to the
regular seat.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
They used to call it the big chairs on the
big seat right.

Speaker 4 (03:13):
Yeah, seriously, there's first class on Spirit it's called the
big sheet in the front.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
Yeah, no, seriously, there's one. Or is the four? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (03:23):
Yeah, there's just four random, big ass like recliners in
the front of the airplane. And then and then right
next to that is the everyone else. So you just
sit there and yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
It's like thrifted lazy boys they got.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
They said it's fine, it's fine, just right bolted down.
You know, it's weird stains, but who cares? Rights big
cup hold on there. Yeah, sure it's nice. Yeah, it's
very nice. So would you though, would you? I guess
you all? Would you'd upgrade on west Chat for a
seat that reclines? How far am I going? I guess
TiVo is done making actual ti vos. Now, when's the

(04:00):
last time that you saw an actual Tvo like a
Tvo branded item.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
I forgot what that is. It's the original DVR.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
Oh, so the company has stopped selling and producing all
of its DVR boxes and accessories, ending more than twenty
five years in the hardware business. Now they're going to
focus on licensing. But you know, previously, if you wanted
to do this, you had to buy a TVO, right,
and then DVR became like the standard term. But you
know remember people just say, like I'm gonna TVO that. Yep,

(04:28):
you know which which your era? Well, but that's what
you all is a marketer. That's the only thing you
could ever hope for, is this someone would associate your
item with the you know verb right, Like it's like
a like a Kleenex.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
Well it's a tissue.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
They got other brands, but no, you know where Like
I want to coke, well, I mean will PEPSI ble, No,
it's two totally different things. But like you got the
name brand like Q tip, Oh, yes, it's called something else,
but like, no, it's not. It's a Q tip to TVO.
How do they mess that up? No, I don't know.
But anyway, that's gone now. Trick or Tree years are
going to see fewer chocolate bars this year. Rising cocoa

(05:03):
prices have translated to an eight percent uptick in consumer
price index for candy and gum, and it's items made
of cocoa seeing the biggest spike. A forty eight count
box of full sized chocolate bars that sold for about
forty bucks last year will cost fifty this year. Bags
of fun sized chocolate bars are up five bucks from
last year. We all know that the elite, the elite houses,

(05:24):
I mean the really boogie people are handing on full
sized candy bars. Oh yes, I mean that is that
is elite. That is we we have money, we are rich.
We are handing at full size candy.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
That's what that is. That's what that is.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
Honestly, because a buck a pop we're talking about now.

Speaker 4 (05:41):
Yeah, I mean I only do it because my parents
used to do it growing up, but I cannot afford it.
Like I very much go into dot buying all the
Halloween candy.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
But now I've set the standard. How many kids would
you say you did? This is gonna sound weird. How
many kids?

Speaker 2 (05:57):
Like? How many trigger treaders will attend your home? On
the fifty? One hundred? Many kids?

Speaker 4 (06:02):
Jason's frequent my house?

Speaker 1 (06:05):
Yeah? How do I give a kid? I lure them
with candy?

Speaker 2 (06:09):
Probably like fifty. Yeah, it's October fourteenth, it's not even Halloween.
Kids are fifty okay, So then want's candy each of
them get?

Speaker 1 (06:21):
You give them like one full sized candy shoes.

Speaker 4 (06:23):
Like usually I'll buy like a box of like three
different kinds and have them in a bowl, and then
I'll be like, oh, which one do you want?

Speaker 2 (06:30):
Okay, so like fifty bucks, maybe one hundred bucks, I'm candy.

Speaker 4 (06:34):
Yeah, which is crazy like that, It is crazy crazy,
That is crazy.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
But you're right. Once you set the standard, you're the house.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
It gives out the full sized candy bars, like you
can't then you can't then go to fun size after that,
and you certainly can't go snack size.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
Oh we're on snack size out here, Like we're bagging it.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
If we're bagging it down from from full size to
fun size, so be it.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
It's a rough economy right now.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
But we're going to We're going to snack size now,
which is half of the fun size.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
Now, we have a problem getting session.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
We have a situation on our hands, and I feel
like kids will just take more. They'll just don't end
up grabbing more, which means I don't know if you're saving.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
I give them individually. They do not touch the bowl.
Oh you do? Oh yeah, you're an individual giver out.
You're one of those.

Speaker 5 (07:14):
Okay, Well last year I was in Hawaii, so we
left the bowl in front of the house.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
I think it was gone within like twenty minute.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
Anyone. You can't do that.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
That was really good for you. You can't do you
can't do that, even the ball even because like what
are you gonna do chase after the kid in the
skeleton costume?

Speaker 1 (07:29):
Like which one you know? I don't know? Right? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (07:32):
No, Wow? So you hand out in all ways which
merit base Like if you have if you're more polity,
you have a better costume than Pauline is gonna give
you more can.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
Competition at my house?

Speaker 5 (07:40):
Yet, Wow needs to like show up and show out,
say sugar Tree through the whole skin, and then you
earn your little fun sized bundy.

Speaker 4 (07:47):
Your performance as you're walking up, like if you're Spider Man,
I want to see you're shooting the webs, doing your
whatever you know and spinning.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
You get extra pieces of candy if there's you know,
choreography that goes with the costume. Exactly right, we're any
special effects guys. You have anything to show me another
thing you do that's another thing, right? You want to
do you want to dance performance.

Speaker 1 (08:17):
That way? I think it's funny.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
I've never one time been like the only thing is
you got to be a kid, that's the only thing.
And people haven't come to I haven't lived in a
place where people come in a very long time.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
Please say that other one.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
I mean, it's true though it's true on many it's
true on many levels.

Speaker 5 (08:42):
Why not that sounds like a sad place to lit
Some of you live in houses and some of you
live in apartments that you do.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
Some original comes so weird.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
Us for Halloween do trigger treats come to Europe? They
have like a little event. So it's not like, yes,
we don't have that.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
You have to like sign up and then you have
to get like a letter for your door, and then
it's I don't It's just I can't imagine.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
I wouldn't sign up if I were you. I don't know.

Speaker 5 (09:13):
I feel like, can you hand out candy as like
a man of weird?

Speaker 1 (09:20):
I'm just gonna push something I don't know. You know, here,
I am trying to be part of the community. And
I mean, if I lived in a neighborhood, I would
really as.

Speaker 5 (09:28):
Like just a man who lives there by himself a
stranger if I don't, isn't it more weird if I
just stay in the house and don't open the door.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
If I was a grown man and I didn't.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
Have kids, I wouldn't like interacted. I'm serious.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
I feel like I would participate in the community, like
if everybody else was right, it's more concerning if you
don't answer the door, as if you're not allowed to
or something like that.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
Just a question. No, I think your kids.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
I also think my neighbors would know me, and the
kids would know me, you know, never.

Speaker 5 (10:04):
Go outside, and then I'd be like, there's that guy's
house who doesn't go outside.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
I think.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
I think if I lived in a community, I would
go outside, which is why I don't live in a community,
because I you know, I don't want to have to
do the thing where I pull in my driveway. Hey, hey, John,
how's it going. How's everything going at the plant or whatever?
You know, it's like oh yeah, and then you get
caught in the driveway every single time.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
Does this happening?

Speaker 4 (10:24):
You're waving yeah, you're talking to people.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
It's like I want to say yeah, It's like you
pull in your garage and close it before you get
out of the car. I just say, aren't there sometimes
that you don't want to talk to people and you
you can't not if you, if you, I would imagine
in that environment it's hard to get away from that.

Speaker 4 (10:43):
Yes, Mike will be like no, turn like we always
go like one way down the block, and like no,
so and so is out, like turn around and go
the other way. So well, like drive out of our
way because he doesn't even want to wave and look
at the person like the true king.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
Yeah, I don't mind it, but like I don't wave
like you don't want to wait, No, I know.

Speaker 3 (11:03):
I talked to the kids of the ring camera like
one piece of candy at a time.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
Costumes stop scream you sit in your house and talk
to them on the ring camera.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
So that ball is gone.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
Get away from my dog is barking my smoke.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
You're sitting like, why is the lady on the couch
talking through the phone?

Speaker 1 (11:28):
Scram get out of here. Do not do that, I
do you don't sit out tired? I'm girl.

Speaker 5 (11:34):
If that's I don't have that many, you know, trick
or treaters that come by, So the ones that do,
I sit there and watch them, and I'm like, okay,
and if they're cute, I'll say something nice. But if
they them costumes, not hitting them like one piece of candy, slacker.

Speaker 3 (11:47):
You're gonna get the house.

Speaker 5 (11:49):
You don't even you're in the house, enter the door.
That's that's protocol. I don't open the door for anybody.
I'm here to your house too.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
If one of the kids like took half the like
took half the you know bowl or something that's gonna
do a lot of good, you wouldn't even get up
and chase after that kid.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
I'm not chasing These kids are crazy. I'm not chasing
these kids. They're gonna beat me up.
