Bella Hamenus year on the phone of the text eight

Speaker 2 (01:08):
Kay?
Speaker 5 (01:08):
Shot shots fired at Rihanna's home. A whole community is
mad at Timothy Shallomey and gen Z has just discovered
Jfkate Junior and Carolyn Bassett and it shows and I
have to tell you what they're doing now that they've
discovered them, is.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
That why everyone's talking about them?
Speaker 5 (01:25):
Though? So there's a documentary, right, it's a show by
Ryan Murphy. It's an FX show, but it's on some
streaming services as well. It's the most watched FX show
in history now. But yes, that's why they're being brought
up and they're trying. Gen Z just found out about them,
so they're now trying to dress like them.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
It's it's a whole thing that we need to do, right,
wasn't Somebody was like, yeah, tragic about that plane crash. Right,
I'm like, what what plane crash? Like you know JFK Junior?
Like that was thirty years ago or something twenty years ago,
the plane crash JFK Junior.
Speaker 5 (01:57):
Yeah, people are discovering them, like Bella just found out
that that's how they died. Our producer and she texted
me like, why did no one tell me?
Speaker 1 (02:05):
I'm like, girl, I didn't know. I had to tell you.
It was like one of the big like we learned
about it in school.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
A lot of things have happened since then, Bella.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
You know, so I didn't know they didn't.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Got to talk about Yeah, do you think you know
we have a breakroom here, and it's it's it's I mean,
I was sad. The breakroom itself is nasty, but like
elements of the breakroom are nasty.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Have you have you looked in that microwave lately? Oh no,
I don't go in there.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
It's a science project. Like it's disgusting. Is are we
just have we given up on that? I think so
just throw it away. Honestly, I think I think we're
at a point where we might have to start over
again with like another another microwave. Entirely, I don't know
if that one could be cleaned. I was just wondering
if it was a we'll be appreciated that I just
took the honey and just sprayed it down my throat
this morning? Is that like a because I mean to look,
(02:49):
I gotta talk. We gotta make some money around here,
you know. So I just didn't forget. I mean, the
tea is just a too slow of a delivery method
for the to get the voice back. So I just
opened my mouth. I didn't touch it. My mouth didn't
touch the honey, I you know. Yeah, yeah, Well if
it's that big, my fault. If it's that big, then
(03:12):
if you're watching on YouTube. Then I'm proud of you,
you know. But that's a little larger.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
That's that's it.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
This is honey size, okay, little a little smaller might
be something else. You're sick, You're nasty. It's what time
is it? You're already thinking nasty. I can't even I
can't even squeeze honey in my mouth. Again we have
some kind of sexual comment from you.
Speaker 6 (03:32):
I woke up like this.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Yeah, I had.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
To beg for hand soap in the kitchen, and I'm naughty.
I wish I was lying. And then it turns out
we had some already here. We just for some reason
decided to put it away.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Oh really, yeah, well that's a parrot when you go
in there, there's no Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
The budget is not budgeting.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
We definitely hit the soap, there's no question about it.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
We're hiding everything. I brought hot sauce from home.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Okyod what difference between clover honey and bee honey? By
the way, because we have clover not surprisingly clover honey
probably not.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
I don't know. It's this clover honey, but like a
four leaf clover.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
What again, I'm asking the same questioning out but It's like,
was there no be involved?
Speaker 2 (04:12):
I thought we needed bees for this.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Clover honey is a popular, mildly sweet and light colored
honey produced by bees foraging on clover blossoms. Okay, it's
about where they forage, fred Okay, well forage.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Well, that's fine. Then as long as there's be involved,
I'm fine with him. There you go.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Did you want to know the flavor profile?
Speaker 2 (04:30):
No, I just had something. It's sweet.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
The flavor profile is sweet, and I recommend right out
of the bottle.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
It's really nice. It's a nice thing.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
You guys know that there are a lot of things
about well, I mean the breakroom one. But there are
a lot of things about the work environment that annoy me,
which is why I just don't know that I would
survive very well in a normal work environment. I mean,
this is just a better place for me all around,
And that in itself is a shocking statement, that this
is a better place for me all around.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
I mean, maybe i'd like the pace of a I
feel like a normal work day has a little bit
more of a leisurely paced for a lot of people,
not everybody, but for a lot of people.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
But but I have a special.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Annoyance with the corporate buzz terms that don't really just
they're just words.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
You know what I mean? And it's just like who
came up with this stuff? I know who came up
with this?
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Someone at the very top of the food chain, and
then everybody beneath them repeats it, thinking, well, because the
because the thought leader said it, well, then it must
be smart for me to say, you know what I mean,
Like if I heard the chairman say it, obviously, and
I might call our chairman as just just as an experiment,
and and and he and I may make one up
(05:44):
and just to see if he'll use it, and just
to see how many people repeat it. And I don't know,
I haven't decided what I want the made up term
to be, Okay, you know, but I I just I
want to come up with something, and I want him
to say it in a meeting with a bunch of
other people, and I just want to then I just
want them for a week. I want to marinate and
watch people in our meetings, like our boss be like, well,
(06:05):
you know you, we just got to squeeze the apple
tree from the bottom.
Speaker 6 (06:09):
It's like taking clover honey from the bottle.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Right right, you know what this right now?
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Our current climate, it's just like taking clover honey from
the bottom. Write somebody hear me say it, I swear
if we make something up, someone your repeat it like
there's more than all of us. But I'm so happy
about this because a new study from Cornell suggests that
employees who are impressed by vague corporate buzzwords may actually
(06:37):
be worse at practical decision making, which doesn't surprise me,
because you're just copying.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
You're not thinking about it, You're just copying.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Researchers examine how people react to corporate jargon like synergistic
leadership or growth hacking paradigms. They even created a corporate
BS generator that produced impressive sounding but meaningless statements and
ask more than a thousand workers to rate them. The
results showed that workers who found this kind of language
inspiring were more likely to see leaders as charismatic and visionary,
(07:09):
but they also scored lower on tests of analytical thinking,
cognitive reflection, and workplace decision making.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
That's because they're followers. You're not using your brain.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Researchers say that this can create a negative cycle in
organizations Employees who fall for flashy buzzwords may help promote
leaders who use that language, even if the ideas lack substance.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
What's the one that comes to mind for you? Let's
just overuse an annoying.
Speaker 7 (07:36):
There's like three right now. We got to go in
the think tank. That just sounds scary.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Think tank.
Speaker 7 (07:41):
We're going to table this for after the meeting because
I don't want to have another meeting after the meeting.
Speaker 6 (07:45):
Let's just talk about it now. We don't need no table.
Let's just talk about it.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Think tank. By the way, I'd love to know where
it is. I'd like to go in it. It's metaphorical.
It's a feeling, right, Okay, right.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
And what's the third one?
Speaker 6 (08:00):
I'll the table. We're gonna circle back.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Yeah, we've been circling back for a long time.
Speaker 7 (08:04):
Yeah, we're circling back after the holidays. We're circling back
right now. I'm like, we'll circle back once I can walk,
you know, yeah, readdress.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
No, I get it.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
I'm looking at a list of these things, though, I
think it's the same list I always go to when
I'm annoyed with these paradigm shift Essentially the same thing
as move the needle, but it sounds more intelligent and
thought provoking. A paradigm shift represents a fundamental change in
the business model.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
We can't make a paradigm shift here.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
You guys have to unbelievable and we got to make
sure that we grab the low hanging fruit. Oh we
had a boss who love that one. Oh my goshd
more on everything was low hanging fruit. Like, dude, we're
out of fruit. Bro I ate all the low hanging fruit.
Speaker 6 (08:49):
I'm higher in the tree.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Somebody getting a tree, climb up there, drop the fruit
onto me.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
The one that cracked me up recently.
Speaker 5 (08:56):
Remember, it's like like, you guys do that, and I'm
just I'm gonna lead in.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
You know.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
It's like, what does that have to do?
Speaker 8 (09:02):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (09:02):
You guys do the work and I'll just yeah, support you.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Okay, yeah, you'll support like I'm going to lean in.
That's what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
A lot of these are not I don't know, run
it up the flagpole, see if the cat licks it up.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Now, now, hold on a minute. That's now. I would
like to hear our chairman.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Use that one and then watch that get repeated whole day.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
It's weird. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
I guess it's supposed to be like let's just put
it out there and see if our customers will like it.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
If you work in like a pet store. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
I think we're being too literal with that one.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
I'm just I've never heard that around here.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
YEA, well, no, I mean I hope. I hope today
it starts getting used. Oh if someone were to say
the iPod of whatever industry, you know, meaning like we
just reinvented, you know, like, well, you know it's like
the iPod of radio.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Why can't we just talk like why do we have
to like judge it up?
Speaker 3 (10:00):
No, but look, Camlin, don't throw the baby out with
the bath water.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Okay, I would never throw a baby.
Speaker 6 (10:05):
No, I always do that.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Yeah, you throw the baby out with the bath water?
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Does that mean?
Speaker 6 (10:10):
What does that mean?
Speaker 7 (10:10):
It's like I don't know, Like to me, it's like
something just being dramatic, like one thing goes wrong and
you're like, just.
Speaker 6 (10:16):
Just screw the whole thing. We'll start off something new.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
I'm taking my ball and I'm going basically.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Here's one that applies to this place. Hope is not
a strategy.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Yeah, Okay, so hard that really that that one touched me. Honestly,
Hope is not a strategy. A T shirt, Yeah, honestly,
you print that one up, merch store, merch store, print
it up. We're gonna sell it. Hope is not a strategy. Yes, boy,
(10:45):
don't we run on that around here at some of
the highest levels.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Is it bridge?
Speaker 3 (10:52):
It is? Hey, Bridget, good morning, corporate saying that you
can't stand.
Speaker 8 (10:58):
Put it in the parking lots, oh, which means which
means that they don't have the answer, so you put
it in the parking lot so they can go research
the answer and and get back to you later.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
That's ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Table in the park Okay, so yeah, we're tabling it,
but instead we're changing the venue that the tables in
the parking lot. Yeah okay, yeah, no, all right, no,
I'm understanding. Thank you, Bridget.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
All right, you have a good day. Ye let me
see we'll.
Speaker 7 (11:27):
Talk about this offline. That always that one always hears, no, no,
just do it.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Right here, right here, right now, No publicly you hear
right here all the time. Is the critical mass?
Speaker 6 (11:40):
I don't know what that means.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
I hear the critical mass all the time. Yeah, it's
like we got to bring it to the critical mass,
like okay, all right, well I'm going just talk in
this microphone. Hopefully the critical mass it tends. I don't
know you, right, Hello, I'm really hoping for it. The
biggest stories of the day. So, we had tornadoes this
(12:02):
weekend while we meaning this country, did we not meaning
me specifically or any of you, I hope. So your
weather system spawned a tornado outbreak in parts of the
Midwest and the Plains. Four people were confirmed dead in
Michigan on Friday, and the deadliest tornado outbreak that the
state has seen in decades. The strongest twister was an
EF three. Now you're a weather guy, Jason, I know
(12:24):
you love a weather situation, of meteorology, situation situation. We're
from the meteorologists that you're into the right more than
the science. Yeah, yeah, I'm here. But an EF three
tornado tour through Union City, killing three people, and that
was the deadliest twister to hit Michigan since nineteen eighty
(12:45):
And that one was in Kalamazoo, which I know you
know that because you're a weather historian. Of course, in
Oklahoma and EF two tornado killed a mother and daughter well.
Another twister left two dead. Over a dozen confirmed tornadoes
have touchdown in both states over the past few days.
If you're going to the airport in the next few days,
I have bad news again. There's a partial government shutdown
(13:05):
going on again, and travelers are complaining about long wait
lasting hours and hours in some cases in Houston and
New Orleans, three to four hours. They're saying, three to
four hours of security lines to get to the gate
so that I can go get my cinnabon. I got
to wait three to four hours to get my cinabie,
(13:26):
to go to Chili's two right, to get to the
macaroni grill. You know, people swear about that frontra in O'Hare.
They swear every time I walk by, it's like there's
a line around the building. I'm like, you know, they
got a few of these, Like they got real restaurants.
You don't have to Maybe it's the best of the options.
I don't know, but officials are blaming these long lines
and the government shutdown. The estimated wait time at the
(13:49):
standard security checkpoint at William P. Hobby Airport in Houston
was at one point three hours. The Hobby Airport and
social media said that it was expecting longer lines than average.
To arrive three to four hours early, in some cases,
four to five hours early for your flight. Now, you know,
if I show up five hours early, then I'll walk
(14:10):
right through. If I show up an hour early, it'll
be four hours long. That's just how it works. If
I'm early, I just cruised through. They don't even They
don't even scan my bag. They just wave at me.
You know, they don't check my I D nothing, you know,
they just wait, Fred, how you doing? The flight's over there,
you know, and I just walk right so you can
come through the exit this time.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
It's fine, you know, like we know you you're good.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
But if I show up and I've got fifteen minutes
to spare because there was traffic or something, it'll be like,
oh no, take your pants off, bro, we're gonna be
here for a while. They pull out some swab, like
what is this? Go to the back room. Yes, exactly.
I mean you were traveling, how long was you? You
had VIP treatment? I noticed it was so beautiful, But
I mean, did you have to go through normal security
or did you get like fanned the whole time and
(14:52):
they didn't.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
In Chicago, I had to be regular but out of
town about which treea nicer? Which is crazy? So New
York was beautiful, but check Igo was like, ma'am. I
actually went through the like priority line to check my
bag and the girl told me just go up to
the front.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
I get to the front, She's like, you have pre check.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
I was like no, She's like, you have clear I
was like no. She said back to the line, broken
way to the bag and wait in line with everybody else.
And now I'm considering tsa pre check for once in
my life.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
You need to do it. It's time.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
It is like a Staples and get it now, can't you?
Like when I got it a million years ago. You
had to drive to the airport and you had to
park your car like you were going somewhere by the way.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Yeah, going to the airport when you're not going anywhere.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
It is very like is not to pick someone that
you love up is very depressing. Like I'm sitting in
trying for an hour and a half. At least I'm
excited to go to my destination. No I pulled up,
walked in, no bag. No, you know, I had to
sit there for a while. Get interviewed. Yeah, yeah, no,
it's time. No, it really is time. Like I thought
of you because there were so many people just walking
(15:56):
past me.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
Maybe start with a very real laity first, maybe, well
you ain't talking.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Realize I got an appointment. You don't even have the
real idea. You have the appointments in the real idea.
Speaker 7 (16:12):
We've had so many will never show up.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
She blocked a place out of the whole day and
never knows get it in order.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
But that's crazy.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
I was in Charlotte last week and I got to
the airport and I walk in there and they have
like the regular security, you know, the regular s regular
and then they have the t S A pre check,
which of course I have because you know, of course
I do.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
And global entry. You need global entry.
Speaker 6 (16:43):
Too, what's that?
Speaker 3 (16:44):
That's only if you're traveling, which I don't travel that
off and you know, out of the country.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
But like it's pretty like that is what I described.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Are you like every continent this year?
Speaker 3 (16:53):
I'm trying to but they're like they just scan your
face and you're like, hey, you're cool, bro, welcome back,
welcome back, homie, like they just skin good. Kiki saw
it firsthand, coming back from Toronto and oh boy.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
He's a pilot.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
So I was like, oh, hey, he got it because
he's a pilot.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Then I saw our boat go, I'm like, it's not
a pilot.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Yeah, pilot is great, it's any pilot of anything. I
just flashed my pilot's slcense. Everywhere I go they just
let me through. You don't do that, Yeah, they don't care,
but I see it. There's like no line for normal security,
and then there's like a line for pre check, and
I'm like, I don't want to take my shoes off,
(17:33):
So I waited in line. I waited in line. I
could have gone to the other one. I would have
had to taken my shoes off, that's all it would
have happened. And I would have you know, I would
have been at the Chili's to go way faster. But
instead I'm like, no, no, no, I'll wait for tsa
pre check. It's fine, big long line anyway. So I guess'
supposed show up to the airport four to five hours early.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Now, yeah, it's wild at the airport right now.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
So this is for you, Paulina.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
You know, I I could tailor the biggest stories of
the day to all of you in this room. Using
too many AI tools can cause brain fry. This is
according to a new study. They suggest that AI may
be giving some workers what researchers are calling brain fry.
The study from the Harvard Business Review, which I trust at,
found that people are constantly using multiple AI tools, those
(18:22):
people reported more decision fatigue and more errors. The study
also found that AI can reduce burnout as well as
creative The study revealed that less brain fry was seen
among employees whose managers were intentional with their AI use.
One consulting group and the author of the studies says
the findings are an early warning sign that expectations around
(18:42):
AI productivity may need recalibrating. I think we mentioned this
last week, but it's been confirmed. Bad Bunny's halftime show
shattered records. The Super Bowl halftime show was bigger than
originally thought. Apple Music, the NFL, and Rock Nation are
confirming that Bad Bunnies halftime show shattered the global viewership record.
The Apple Music Super Bowl sixty halftime show rolls Off
(19:04):
the Tongue drew over four point one billion views worldwide
Baby in twenty four hours across the global broadcast. So
for all of you who made a big stink about
not Bad Money not doing it. All you did, I
think was draw more eyes to it. So that's the thing,
you know, when people are like, oh my god, this
is terrible. This is so terrible for the world. Okay,
(19:26):
well I gotta check this out. I gotta make sure
I watch that.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
But also like, okay, think about it, like your family
back in like Columbia or something like, people were watching
all over the world because well.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Hey, they love bad Money and they know who he is. Like,
no shade, no tea.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
I don't think you know, my family back in wherever
is going to watch, you know, the who like people
aren't having parties.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
And tuning in fornt of it is huge in Poland,
well huge, jar.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Well you would know I went into However, all I
know is that bad Bunny.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Did his thing.
Speaker 6 (19:52):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
I would know because I'm going to Poland next month,
my ambassador. Yeah, okay, well I gotta I gotta go it.
I'll come back and report tell my mom about on
how big your mom's got to be stoked excited. I'm
going to the homeland. I'm going to the homeland. I know, well,
today I am attending. That could change tomorrow. We're depending
(20:14):
on what these bozos around here beside. Yeah. Really, I
have not seen a ticket yet, but I have been
invited to Poland by the country of Poland, supposedly period
the country via a woman named Cocaine.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
There's a woman in Coco negotiating this.
Speaker 6 (20:30):
It's just going to meet you in the back alley
with Rocher.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (20:33):
I know.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
She now has my ID and my passport information, which
I heard from her and my Social Security member.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
For some reason, she wanted my bank routing information. I
don't know why.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
All I know is she has all of that and
I haven't heard a word. But supposedly I'm going to
Poland next month. I don't know. Well, yeah, well we'll
see the Motherland. I gotta go get in line now,
just in case I am going. No, it's I That's
what I'm.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
About, going to Europe. We're going on our own honeymoon.
We're going.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Don't give me stn't get me started on that. I
will not.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Well that's a topic for another day. But yes, I
am taking myself on a honeymoon this year. I decided
it's not happening in real life, so I'm I'm uh.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Yeah, be the change you want to see.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Fred Hayter, what's his name is not it's not Lauren.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
He just he lets us call him by his wife's name,
which is because he's Yeah, Fred's opinion, if it doesn't
match mine, then it's wrong.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
What did I What have we disagreed about?
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Also?
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Like what I mean, I do have a lot of
My opinion is pretty great at.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
About seven am with a disagreement.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Yeah, I was gonna say, I think we've all been
pretty copasetic so far today. Yeah, he just had to
get that in there. You know, it's not a day
unless someone tells me how much I suck. Thank you
for listening again. This guy's been listening for years.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
So he's a one and I love that.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
I do too. I do too. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
I can't imagine complaining about something every gold day. Yeah, like,
what a miserable way to start your day and then
quoting the thing that I hate so much. It's amazing. Anyway,
have a good day, John, for sure. The people of
Butler are really proud of you. Gen Z is bringing
back mall shopping. Now we want mall shopping. Younger consumers
(22:17):
are heading back to the stores I guess motivated by
TikTok influencers and a desire for hands on experiences. Last year,
buyers between eighteen and twenty four purchased sixty two percent
of their goods in person. In response, malls are retrofitting
spaces with social media friendly designs.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Oh what does that mean? Little photo activation?
Speaker 9 (22:37):
Probably step repeats everywhere. I don't know what sasty booths. Yeah,
have you been to the mall lately? Like there's places
to go in just to take Instagram photos. There's all
those like international markets that are like you can take
photos like it's crazy.
Speaker 6 (22:50):
Yeah, Like there's stores everywhere.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
So now to go get I'm not gonna sell men.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
To go get some underwear, I gotta take a three
six shot with your shopping doing a little boogie, you know,
Like yeah right, they.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
Should do that though, like for fitting rooms, because girls
like to go in there and do their try on halls.
They don't buy anything, but they go in there and
playing on people clothes and.
Speaker 6 (23:11):
Yeah, so it could happen.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
I will say that there are a number of things,
and especially as it comes to like variet, I mean,
so you have all the variety in the world on
the internet, right, you can get anything you possibly want,
you can watch anything you want, you can buy anything
you want, even to our detriment. But there was something
about going to the mall, like with your friends on
Saturday and running into other kids. It was a social thing, yes,
(23:36):
But I don't know how many kids even care about
that anymore because a lot of my friends kids, they
have a lot of friends, they just don't want to
talk to them in person. They'd rather text them or
talk to them in a video game or something. But
I mean there was something like on Saturday, like, Hey,
drive me to the mall. I meet up with my buddies.
The girl group would be there. We'd go to the
food court. My dad would give me twenty bucks or something.
We'd go to Sabra Ro.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Yeah Victoria's Secret.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Yeah right, I mean, but like if you felt like there,
I mean, I couldn't have money for anything, but it
felt like you could eat anything and have anything, and
you could go look at all the stuff that you
aspired to have, you know, for your birthday or whatever.
Speaker 5 (24:10):
Now I don't know, like Amazon, Alexa, you know, buy
me this and then it just comes.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Yeah, there was just something about it and I get it.
Like even the video store experience, if you're old enough
for that, there was something about it, even though there
were you know, I don't know, five hundred videos in
there versus the eight gazillion that you have access to now,
there was just something very like, Yes, I can have
anything I want. I could watch anything I want.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
You read the back of the little cover to see
what the movie is about. You know it was great.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Yeah it was. And kids these days are not experiencing that.
But nope, watch this. Now they're just going to rebuild.
Like all those malls that are sitting empty now they're
gonna fill them again and then and then people will
go for a while and then they'll be empty.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
And watch this.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
It's like Amazon closing bookstores and opening their own. You
like you, guys Iconic, you're messing with us. It's National
get Over it dates National Meatball Day, that crab meat Day.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
This National Barbie Day today as well. It's a big date.
Caitlin's Entertainment report is on the Freadshew.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
Shots were fired toward the home of Rihanna in Beverly
Hills yesterday, but thankfully she wasn't hurt. They say that
a woman described as around thirty years old, drove near
the property and fired several rounds from her car in
the direction of the house. Officers responded and nabbed the suspect. Now,
Rihanna was home at the time, but like I said,
(25:31):
she is safe. I'm sure terrified and the incident is
still under investigation as for why the hell this woman
did that. Timothy Chlamy is facing backlash from the ballet
and opera communities.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
So you know last week we just spoke about.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
How I am upset. What am I upset about?
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Well, I'll tell you about last night.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
It's part of the ballet community.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Right.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Who ballet and opera community?
Speaker 8 (25:56):
Wow?
Speaker 5 (25:56):
Certainly that yeah, yeah, and remember you don't want to
anger the cat commune.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
And now this I haven't read my newsletter yet, but
about so.
Speaker 5 (26:04):
Timothy made some comments during a CNN and Variety town
hall at the University of Texas with Matthew McConaughey.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
I feel like he just lives there at this point.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
While discussing the movie industry and whether audience will show
up for film, Timothy said he wouldn't want to work
in ballet or opera where it's like keep this thing
alive and even though no one cares about this anymore.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
He quickly added that he meant all.
Speaker 5 (26:27):
Respect to those artists and jokes he had probably lost
fourteen cents in viewership, so they caught some strays for
no reason. Of course, this sparks criticism from performers and
art institutions around the world. Opera singers, ballet dancers, and
companies like the Metropolitan Opera and Royal Ballet pushback online,
saying those art forms are still alive, have strong audiences
(26:50):
and centuries long cultural value. Someone even invited him to
a performance to reconsider his view.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
I just don't understand why it's necessary.
Speaker 5 (26:59):
I mean, you know, those people are making a living
doing it, and so like, if it's not for you,
that's fine, But why'd you just go for them so hard?
Speaker 1 (27:07):
It's very weird.
Speaker 5 (27:09):
And lastly, this is one of the stories its ever
since gen Z has discovered JFK. Junior and Carolyn Bessett's
love story in the New Ryan Murphy Show.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
They're freaking out.
Speaker 5 (27:20):
Okay, they were today years old, so I'm sure, as
you've seen Fred you mentioned this, they're making tiktoks about them.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
They're smoking SIGs again.
Speaker 5 (27:28):
Men are dressing in backwards hats and also JFK Junior's
signature Kane gole hats.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
They're trying to rock that.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
Women are trying to dress like Carolyn in her like
signature nineties minimum minimalist style like neutral colors, ballet flat,
skinny sunglasses, button downs, all the things, headbands. I did
see one poor gen Z ask if there will be
a season two, and I said, you must not have
(27:55):
finished season one.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Let's finish that one first and then we'll see what
comes of it.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
Fortunately, you may not know what happened, like producer Bella,
who was like, why the hell didn't anyone tell me
what happened to those two?
Speaker 1 (28:08):
I don't want to spoil it for you guys, but
it didn't end well.
Speaker 5 (28:12):
So that is their new obsession, and that is why
if you see them talking about it or dressing like that,
SIGs in their ear, that's what they're doing.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
No wonder.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
It's like I forget who it was, Like, maybe it
was Bella, like man really sad about you FK and
your hut, like or maybe somebody else last week and
I'm like, what again, it was sad? What were we
talking about? Like, yeah, those little planes are scary. I'm like,
huh yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
Wait till they found out about Tupac. Oh boy, Yeah,
it's just shake them to their core for sure.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Sure.
Speaker 5 (28:43):
Yeah, it's just it's an interesting time around here. But yeah,
I mean I loved I loved their love story. But
I loved it, you know, back in the day. Anyways,

Speaker 3 (29:37):
I'm appalled. I'm so appalled that I finished the season
sick over the weekend and then went and watched the
UK one too, because I'm appalled by it the whole thing,
And apparently I have nine other or eight other seasons
to watch. I think I watched the first season of
It is any are any of you watching this?
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Though?
Speaker 8 (29:52):
No?
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Should I? I gave up on Love Is Blind?
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Well because I don't want to talk.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
I mean I do talk to myself regularly, like all day,
but I don't want to talk to myself about love.
I may have to do like a TikTok about it
later or something, or maybe maybe a TikTok live because
I got a lot to say. I got a lot.
I may I Kiki. I'm I might doing get ready
with me come on later for nothing. I'm not going anywhere.
I got nothing to do. I'm gonna go to the mall.
(30:17):
I'm gonna go to the mall, and I'm gonna get
ready with me finally to not leave my house and
then talk about Love is Blind. But I'm I'm very
upset about this, and the reunion is Wednesday, and I
will be watching them.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
And my husband.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Yep, so Hobby.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
Maybe we get Hobby on the air and Hobby and
I can talk about it. I surprising viewer, or one
of the most surprising rather surprising viewers of Love is Blind,
would be your husband.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
That is a shocking thing.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
I would let you call him. But he's fighting a
fire right now.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
I'm sure.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Hell yeah, good for him. Yeah he's got fire.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
Is the same as watching Love is Blind. It's the
same sort of thing.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
The boys at the Firehouse. No, he loves that show.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Let's let him know. I'm I got some idle time
there between stand watching together.
Speaker 9 (31:03):
Okay, if you're watching the person A lot of things
about the current season of Love is Blind are irritating me.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
But Alex h is a psychopath and his mom is
an enabler, and I cannot stand him.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Do you know the kind of people?
Speaker 3 (31:21):
He's a good looking guy, which I think gets him
as far as he's gotten. But do you know the
kind of people that just they're they're like constantly, they're sleazy,
and up to something. Yes, and he just uses words.
He thinks he's smarter than you are, and he and
he he projects that by just talking. He just used
(31:41):
his words, but they don't mean anything. Like he's the
corporate speak guy. He is the low hanging fruit guy.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
What's a financial sales professional?
Speaker 2 (31:49):
He doesn't know. He's a man.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
He's a hoe and a youth soccer coach.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
An absolute con man. Well he was. He was drafted
to the some sort of major leagues.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Former D one goalkeeper, but I knee surgeries.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
You know, he wasn't able.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
He couldn't go pro. Jason. I've seen this story before
every guys. I was pro, but that injury.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
But he just talks and talks and talks and he's
a liar and he's lying but he's bad at it.
And like he's just a lot of words and I'm like,
you're not saying anything.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
I hate that word salad.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
I cannot stand you, so upset. And then there's Chris.
He's just a short loser. I don't know, he's just not.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Oh, is that that this is the guy that was
like I like girls who do cross fit or is
that a different Yeah?
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Yeah, he told the girl.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
You know that he was with that Basically she wasn't
fit enough for him.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Yeah, I can't with him.
Speaker 6 (32:49):
Yeah, he's I don't know.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
I'm going through all the people here on the Is
it a good season? It's fine, I will say I
like the UK season better. I'm not sure that I'm
going to like the way it ends when I finally watch.
I don't know how old it is, you know, because
Netflix lies to you and stuff pops up and it's like,
oh me, it's new, but it's not new, so I don't.
I think it's the latest season of UK Love His Wine,
(33:14):
but I don't know when it actually came out.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Why is it better?
Speaker 3 (33:17):
I like the people a little better. I think they're
I think for the most part. I mean there is,
of course there's a villain, but I think for the
most part they're like easier to root for.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
But I really can't with these people.
Speaker 5 (33:31):
Remember the girl during the COVID season who would give
her dog wine because she likes it?
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Oh no, I don't remember that.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
I think she was like the villain.
Speaker 5 (33:40):
I don't know if her name was Jessica or something,
but yeah, she like her dog took a lick of
red wine and she's like she loves it.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
Someone said, no, one's worse than Chris. No, I think
the first guy that I mentioned, the soccer guy, is worse.
Alex h alex h is let me make sure I
got to look at this picture as a nerdy ass,
stupid picture. I can't stand this guy, alex H. Yeah,
he's the worst, truly, I just I just can't. Anyway,
I'll move on now because not enough of you were
(34:08):
watching it, But if you do, we can have a
whole conversation about him.
Speaker 5 (34:11):
But I still don't understand. Is it like should I
should I? Are you enjoying it because it seems like
you're upset right well?
Speaker 4 (34:19):
Are you hate watching this show?
Speaker 3 (34:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (34:22):
Not Laura. What's the name John?
Speaker 1 (34:23):
John?
Speaker 8 (34:24):
John?
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Yeah, No, I am hate watching this show.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
But you know, you get to a certain point where
it's like I'm committed now, like I want to see
what happens in the end. I will say I think
there are two episodes of weddings, and even though you
find out in the end if they stay together at
the wedding, I would fast forward.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
I don't need the weddings to me.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
In a lot of ways, were like the recap episodes,
you know, shows that spend like eighty percent of the
show recapping what we've already seen, only to give you
like a twenty percent nugget.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
Yep, So I already know about your love story.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
I watched the whole thing, so I fast forward through
that and then I just wait to see, like what
they do in the end, Okay, And I will say
I was I was happy with uh. I was happy
with the some of the decisions that people made. Some
of the people stood up there and like this, dude, Alex.
I don't want to give too much away, but some
people got exactly what they had coming and were embarrassed.
(35:17):
But then the guy starts talking again, like shut up,
you're not saying anything. Oh I hate him so mad. Anyway,
You're welcome for the free commercial Netflix. Now people, people
are gonna go watch that show Love is Blind Chicago
and see, I got a lot to catch up one.
But I just think the people in the UK seem
a little bit. I would say eighty percent of them
seem well intentioned and kind ish, and I don't know
(35:39):
what's going to happen, but I just feel like, I
don't know, they just they're a little easier for me
to kind of want to root for, yeah, than some
of these people.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
You watch Chicago though, wasn't that the girl?
Speaker 8 (35:49):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (35:50):
I don't think I watched Maybe I did watch it. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
It turned out there was kind of a kind of
a hot girl on the case. It was Chicago Love
is Blind, and I was like, Oh, she's kind of hot,
and so I go to follow her on Instagram and
then she follows me and I'm like oh, And then
I go to dm R because I'm like, I'm gonna
Oh it didn't work out with you know what's his name,
I'm gonna dm her. It turned out she's been dming
me for a while and I was like, I missed it.
(36:13):
But then she was now she's a famous influencer, so
she's not interested in me. She's famous now, so she
doesn't all of a sudden like I got. When you
get famous, I get ugly apparently, which is interesting.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
I let see blogs and waiting by the phone. More

Shot shots fired at Rihanna's home. A whole community is
mad at Timothy Shallomey and gen Z has just discovered
Jfkate Junior and Carolyn Bassett and it shows and I
have to tell you what they're doing now that they've
discovered them, is.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
That why everyone's talking about them?
Speaker 5 (01:25):
Though? So there's a documentary, right, it's a show by
Ryan Murphy. It's an FX show, but it's on some
streaming services as well. It's the most watched FX show
in history now. But yes, that's why they're being brought
up and they're trying. Gen Z just found out about them,
so they're now trying to dress like them.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
It's it's a whole thing that we need to do, right,
wasn't Somebody was like, yeah, tragic about that plane crash. Right,
I'm like, what what plane crash? Like you know JFK Junior?
Like that was thirty years ago or something twenty years ago,
the plane crash JFK Junior.
Speaker 5 (01:57):
Yeah, people are discovering them, like Bella just found out
that that's how they died. Our producer and she texted
me like, why did no one tell me?
Speaker 1 (02:05):
I'm like, girl, I didn't know. I had to tell you.
It was like one of the big like we learned
about it in school.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
Got to talk about Yeah, do you think you know
we have a breakroom here, and it's it's it's I mean,
I was sad. The breakroom itself is nasty, but like
elements of the breakroom are nasty.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Have you have you looked in that microwave lately? Oh no,
I don't go in there.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
It's a science project. Like it's disgusting. Is are we
just have we given up on that? I think so
just throw it away. Honestly, I think I think we're
at a point where we might have to start over
again with like another another microwave. Entirely, I don't know
if that one could be cleaned. I was just wondering
if it was a we'll be appreciated that I just
took the honey and just sprayed it down my throat
this morning? Is that like a because I mean to look,
(02:49):
I gotta talk. We gotta make some money around here,
you know. So I just didn't forget. I mean, the
tea is just a too slow of a delivery method
for the to get the voice back. So I just
opened my mouth. I didn't touch it. My mouth didn't
touch the honey, I you know. Yeah, yeah, Well if
it's that big, my fault. If it's that big, then
(03:12):
if you're watching on YouTube. Then I'm proud of you,
you know. But that's a little larger.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
That's that's it.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
This is honey size, okay, little a little smaller might
be something else. You're sick, You're nasty. It's what time
is it? You're already thinking nasty. I can't even I
can't even squeeze honey in my mouth. Again we have
some kind of sexual comment from you.
Speaker 6 (03:32):
I woke up like this.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Yeah, I had.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
To beg for hand soap in the kitchen, and I'm naughty.
I wish I was lying. And then it turns out
we had some already here. We just for some reason
decided to put it away.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Oh really, yeah, well that's a parrot when you go
in there, there's no Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
The budget is not budgeting.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
We definitely hit the soap, there's no question about it.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
We're hiding everything. I brought hot sauce from home.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Okyod what difference between clover honey and bee honey? By
the way, because we have clover not surprisingly clover honey
probably not.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
I don't know. It's this clover honey, but like a
four leaf clover.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
What again, I'm asking the same questioning out but It's like,
was there no be involved?
Speaker 2 (04:12):
I thought we needed bees for this.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Clover honey is a popular, mildly sweet and light colored
honey produced by bees foraging on clover blossoms. Okay, it's
about where they forage, fred Okay, well forage.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Well, that's fine. Then as long as there's be involved,
I'm fine with him. There you go.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Did you want to know the flavor profile?
Speaker 2 (04:30):
No, I just had something. It's sweet.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
The flavor profile is sweet, and I recommend right out
of the bottle.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
It's really nice. It's a nice thing.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
You guys know that there are a lot of things
about well, I mean the breakroom one. But there are
a lot of things about the work environment that annoy me,
which is why I just don't know that I would
survive very well in a normal work environment. I mean,
this is just a better place for me all around,
And that in itself is a shocking statement, that this
is a better place for me all around.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
I mean, maybe i'd like the pace of a I
feel like a normal work day has a little bit
more of a leisurely paced for a lot of people,
not everybody, but for a lot of people.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
But but I have a special.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Annoyance with the corporate buzz terms that don't really just
they're just words.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
You know what I mean? And it's just like who
came up with this stuff? I know who came up
with this?
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Someone at the very top of the food chain, and
then everybody beneath them repeats it, thinking, well, because the
because the thought leader said it, well, then it must
be smart for me to say, you know what I mean,
Like if I heard the chairman say it, obviously, and
I might call our chairman as just just as an experiment,
and and and he and I may make one up
(05:44):
and just to see if he'll use it, and just
to see how many people repeat it. And I don't know,
I haven't decided what I want the made up term
to be, Okay, you know, but I I just I
want to come up with something, and I want him
to say it in a meeting with a bunch of
other people, and I just want to then I just
want them for a week. I want to marinate and
watch people in our meetings, like our boss be like, well,
(06:05):
you know you, we just got to squeeze the apple
tree from the bottom.
Speaker 6 (06:09):
It's like taking clover honey from the bottle.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Right right, you know what this right now?
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Our current climate, it's just like taking clover honey from
the bottom. Write somebody hear me say it, I swear
if we make something up, someone your repeat it like
there's more than all of us. But I'm so happy
about this because a new study from Cornell suggests that
employees who are impressed by vague corporate buzzwords may actually
(06:37):
be worse at practical decision making, which doesn't surprise me,
because you're just copying.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
You're not thinking about it, You're just copying.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Researchers examine how people react to corporate jargon like synergistic
leadership or growth hacking paradigms. They even created a corporate
BS generator that produced impressive sounding but meaningless statements and
ask more than a thousand workers to rate them. The
results showed that workers who found this kind of language
inspiring were more likely to see leaders as charismatic and visionary,
(07:09):
but they also scored lower on tests of analytical thinking,
cognitive reflection, and workplace decision making.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
That's because they're followers. You're not using your brain.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Researchers say that this can create a negative cycle in
organizations Employees who fall for flashy buzzwords may help promote
leaders who use that language, even if the ideas lack substance.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
What's the one that comes to mind for you? Let's
just overuse an annoying.
Speaker 7 (07:36):
There's like three right now. We got to go in
the think tank. That just sounds scary.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Think tank.
Speaker 7 (07:41):
We're going to table this for after the meeting because
I don't want to have another meeting after the meeting.
Speaker 6 (07:45):
Let's just talk about it now. We don't need no table.
Let's just talk about it.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Think tank. By the way, I'd love to know where
it is. I'd like to go in it. It's metaphorical.
It's a feeling, right, Okay, right.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
And what's the third one?
Speaker 6 (08:00):
I'll the table. We're gonna circle back.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Yeah, we've been circling back for a long time.
Speaker 7 (08:04):
Yeah, we're circling back after the holidays. We're circling back
right now. I'm like, we'll circle back once I can walk,
you know, yeah, readdress.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
No, I get it.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
I'm looking at a list of these things, though, I
think it's the same list I always go to when
I'm annoyed with these paradigm shift Essentially the same thing
as move the needle, but it sounds more intelligent and
thought provoking. A paradigm shift represents a fundamental change in
the business model.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
We can't make a paradigm shift here.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
You guys have to unbelievable and we got to make
sure that we grab the low hanging fruit. Oh we
had a boss who love that one. Oh my goshd
more on everything was low hanging fruit. Like, dude, we're
out of fruit. Bro I ate all the low hanging fruit.
Speaker 6 (08:49):
I'm higher in the tree.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Somebody getting a tree, climb up there, drop the fruit
onto me.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
The one that cracked me up recently.
Speaker 5 (08:56):
Remember, it's like like, you guys do that, and I'm
just I'm gonna lead in.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
You know.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
It's like, what does that have to do?
Speaker 8 (09:02):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (09:02):
You guys do the work and I'll just yeah, support you.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Okay, yeah, you'll support like I'm going to lean in.
That's what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
A lot of these are not I don't know, run
it up the flagpole, see if the cat licks it up.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Now, now, hold on a minute. That's now. I would
like to hear our chairman.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Use that one and then watch that get repeated whole day.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
It's weird. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
I guess it's supposed to be like let's just put
it out there and see if our customers will like it.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
If you work in like a pet store. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
I think we're being too literal with that one.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
I'm just I've never heard that around here.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
YEA, well, no, I mean I hope. I hope today
it starts getting used. Oh if someone were to say
the iPod of whatever industry, you know, meaning like we
just reinvented, you know, like, well, you know it's like
the iPod of radio.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Why can't we just talk like why do we have
to like judge it up?
Speaker 3 (10:00):
No, but look, Camlin, don't throw the baby out with
the bath water.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Okay, I would never throw a baby.
Speaker 6 (10:05):
No, I always do that.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Yeah, you throw the baby out with the bath water?
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Does that mean?
Speaker 6 (10:10):
What does that mean?
Speaker 7 (10:10):
It's like I don't know, Like to me, it's like
something just being dramatic, like one thing goes wrong and
you're like, just.
Speaker 6 (10:16):
Just screw the whole thing. We'll start off something new.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
I'm taking my ball and I'm going basically.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Here's one that applies to this place. Hope is not
a strategy.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Yeah, Okay, so hard that really that that one touched me. Honestly,
Hope is not a strategy. A T shirt, Yeah, honestly,
you print that one up, merch store, merch store, print
it up. We're gonna sell it. Hope is not a strategy. Yes, boy,
(10:45):
don't we run on that around here at some of
the highest levels.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Is it bridge?
Speaker 3 (10:52):
It is? Hey, Bridget, good morning, corporate saying that you
can't stand.
Speaker 8 (10:58):
Put it in the parking lots, oh, which means which
means that they don't have the answer, so you put
it in the parking lot so they can go research
the answer and and get back to you later.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
That's ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Table in the park Okay, so yeah, we're tabling it,
but instead we're changing the venue that the tables in
the parking lot. Yeah okay, yeah, no, all right, no,
I'm understanding. Thank you, Bridget.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
All right, you have a good day. Ye let me
see we'll.
Speaker 7 (11:27):
Talk about this offline. That always that one always hears, no, no,
just do it.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Right here, right here, right now, No publicly you hear
right here all the time. Is the critical mass?
Speaker 6 (11:40):
I don't know what that means.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
I hear the critical mass all the time. Yeah, it's
like we got to bring it to the critical mass,
like okay, all right, well I'm going just talk in
this microphone. Hopefully the critical mass it tends. I don't
know you, right, Hello, I'm really hoping for it. The
biggest stories of the day. So, we had tornadoes this
(12:02):
weekend while we meaning this country, did we not meaning
me specifically or any of you, I hope. So your
weather system spawned a tornado outbreak in parts of the
Midwest and the Plains. Four people were confirmed dead in
Michigan on Friday, and the deadliest tornado outbreak that the
state has seen in decades. The strongest twister was an
EF three. Now you're a weather guy, Jason, I know
(12:24):
you love a weather situation, of meteorology, situation situation. We're
from the meteorologists that you're into the right more than
the science. Yeah, yeah, I'm here. But an EF three
tornado tour through Union City, killing three people, and that
was the deadliest twister to hit Michigan since nineteen eighty
(12:45):
And that one was in Kalamazoo, which I know you
know that because you're a weather historian. Of course, in
Oklahoma and EF two tornado killed a mother and daughter well.
Another twister left two dead. Over a dozen confirmed tornadoes
have touchdown in both states over the past few days.
If you're going to the airport in the next few days,
I have bad news again. There's a partial government shutdown
(13:05):
going on again, and travelers are complaining about long wait
lasting hours and hours in some cases in Houston and
New Orleans, three to four hours. They're saying, three to
four hours of security lines to get to the gate
so that I can go get my cinnabon. I got
to wait three to four hours to get my cinabie,
(13:26):
to go to Chili's two right, to get to the
macaroni grill. You know, people swear about that frontra in O'Hare.
They swear every time I walk by, it's like there's
a line around the building. I'm like, you know, they
got a few of these, Like they got real restaurants.
You don't have to Maybe it's the best of the options.
I don't know, but officials are blaming these long lines
and the government shutdown. The estimated wait time at the
(13:49):
standard security checkpoint at William P. Hobby Airport in Houston
was at one point three hours. The Hobby Airport and
social media said that it was expecting longer lines than average.
To arrive three to four hours early, in some cases,
four to five hours early for your flight. Now, you know,
if I show up five hours early, then I'll walk
(14:10):
right through. If I show up an hour early, it'll
be four hours long. That's just how it works. If
I'm early, I just cruised through. They don't even They
don't even scan my bag. They just wave at me.
You know, they don't check my I D nothing, you know,
they just wait, Fred, how you doing? The flight's over there,
you know, and I just walk right so you can
come through the exit this time.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
It's fine, you know, like we know you you're good.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
But if I show up and I've got fifteen minutes
to spare because there was traffic or something, it'll be like,
oh no, take your pants off, bro, we're gonna be
here for a while. They pull out some swab, like
what is this? Go to the back room. Yes, exactly.
I mean you were traveling, how long was you? You
had VIP treatment? I noticed it was so beautiful, But
I mean, did you have to go through normal security
or did you get like fanned the whole time and
(14:52):
they didn't.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
In Chicago, I had to be regular but out of
town about which treea nicer? Which is crazy? So New
York was beautiful, but check Igo was like, ma'am. I
actually went through the like priority line to check my
bag and the girl told me just go up to
the front.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
I get to the front, She's like, you have pre check.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
I was like no, She's like, you have clear I
was like no. She said back to the line, broken
way to the bag and wait in line with everybody else.
And now I'm considering tsa pre check for once in
my life.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
You need to do it. It's time.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
It is like a Staples and get it now, can't you?
Like when I got it a million years ago. You
had to drive to the airport and you had to
park your car like you were going somewhere by the way.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Yeah, going to the airport when you're not going anywhere.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
It is very like is not to pick someone that
you love up is very depressing. Like I'm sitting in
trying for an hour and a half. At least I'm
excited to go to my destination. No I pulled up,
walked in, no bag. No, you know, I had to
sit there for a while. Get interviewed. Yeah, yeah, no,
it's time. No, it really is time. Like I thought
of you because there were so many people just walking
(15:56):
past me.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
Maybe start with a very real laity first, maybe, well
you ain't talking.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Realize I got an appointment. You don't even have the
real idea. You have the appointments in the real idea.
Speaker 7 (16:12):
We've had so many will never show up.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
She blocked a place out of the whole day and
never knows get it in order.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
But that's crazy.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
I was in Charlotte last week and I got to
the airport and I walk in there and they have
like the regular security, you know, the regular s regular
and then they have the t S A pre check,
which of course I have because you know, of course
I do.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
And global entry. You need global entry.
Speaker 6 (16:43):
Too, what's that?
Speaker 3 (16:44):
That's only if you're traveling, which I don't travel that
off and you know, out of the country.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
But like it's pretty like that is what I described.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Are you like every continent this year?
Speaker 3 (16:53):
I'm trying to but they're like they just scan your
face and you're like, hey, you're cool, bro, welcome back,
welcome back, homie, like they just skin good. Kiki saw
it firsthand, coming back from Toronto and oh boy.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
He's a pilot.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
So I was like, oh, hey, he got it because
he's a pilot.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Then I saw our boat go, I'm like, it's not
a pilot.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Yeah, pilot is great, it's any pilot of anything. I
just flashed my pilot's slcense. Everywhere I go they just
let me through. You don't do that, Yeah, they don't care,
but I see it. There's like no line for normal security,
and then there's like a line for pre check, and
I'm like, I don't want to take my shoes off,
(17:33):
So I waited in line. I waited in line. I
could have gone to the other one. I would have
had to taken my shoes off, that's all it would
have happened. And I would have you know, I would
have been at the Chili's to go way faster. But
instead I'm like, no, no, no, I'll wait for tsa
pre check. It's fine, big long line anyway. So I guess'
supposed show up to the airport four to five hours early.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Now, yeah, it's wild at the airport right now.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
So this is for you, Paulina.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
You know, I I could tailor the biggest stories of
the day to all of you in this room. Using
too many AI tools can cause brain fry. This is
according to a new study. They suggest that AI may
be giving some workers what researchers are calling brain fry.
The study from the Harvard Business Review, which I trust at,
found that people are constantly using multiple AI tools, those
(18:22):
people reported more decision fatigue and more errors. The study
also found that AI can reduce burnout as well as
creative The study revealed that less brain fry was seen
among employees whose managers were intentional with their AI use.
One consulting group and the author of the studies says
the findings are an early warning sign that expectations around
(18:42):
AI productivity may need recalibrating. I think we mentioned this
last week, but it's been confirmed. Bad Bunny's halftime show
shattered records. The Super Bowl halftime show was bigger than
originally thought. Apple Music, the NFL, and Rock Nation are
confirming that Bad Bunnies halftime show shattered the global viewership record.
The Apple Music Super Bowl sixty halftime show rolls Off
(19:04):
the Tongue drew over four point one billion views worldwide
Baby in twenty four hours across the global broadcast. So
for all of you who made a big stink about
not Bad Money not doing it. All you did, I
think was draw more eyes to it. So that's the thing,
you know, when people are like, oh my god, this
is terrible. This is so terrible for the world. Okay,
(19:26):
well I gotta check this out. I gotta make sure
I watch that.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
But also like, okay, think about it, like your family
back in like Columbia or something like, people were watching
all over the world because well.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Hey, they love bad Money and they know who he is. Like,
no shade, no tea.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
I don't think you know, my family back in wherever
is going to watch, you know, the who like people
aren't having parties.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
And tuning in fornt of it is huge in Poland,
well huge, jar.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Well you would know I went into However, all I
know is that bad Bunny.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Did his thing.
Speaker 6 (19:52):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
I would know because I'm going to Poland next month,
my ambassador. Yeah, okay, well I gotta I gotta go it.
I'll come back and report tell my mom about on
how big your mom's got to be stoked excited. I'm
going to the homeland. I'm going to the homeland. I know, well,
today I am attending. That could change tomorrow. We're depending
(20:14):
on what these bozos around here beside. Yeah. Really, I
have not seen a ticket yet, but I have been
invited to Poland by the country of Poland, supposedly period
the country via a woman named Cocaine.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
There's a woman in Coco negotiating this.
Speaker 6 (20:30):
It's just going to meet you in the back alley
with Rocher.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (20:33):
I know.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
She now has my ID and my passport information, which
I heard from her and my Social Security member.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
For some reason, she wanted my bank routing information. I
don't know why.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
All I know is she has all of that and
I haven't heard a word. But supposedly I'm going to
Poland next month. I don't know. Well, yeah, well we'll
see the Motherland. I gotta go get in line now,
just in case I am going. No, it's I That's
what I'm.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
About, going to Europe. We're going on our own honeymoon.
We're going.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Don't give me stn't get me started on that. I
will not.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Well that's a topic for another day. But yes, I
am taking myself on a honeymoon this year. I decided
it's not happening in real life, so I'm I'm uh.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Yeah, be the change you want to see.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Fred Hayter, what's his name is not it's not Lauren.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
He just he lets us call him by his wife's name,
which is because he's Yeah, Fred's opinion, if it doesn't
match mine, then it's wrong.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
What did I What have we disagreed about?
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Also?
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Like what I mean, I do have a lot of
My opinion is pretty great at.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
About seven am with a disagreement.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Yeah, I was gonna say, I think we've all been
pretty copasetic so far today. Yeah, he just had to
get that in there. You know, it's not a day
unless someone tells me how much I suck. Thank you
for listening again. This guy's been listening for years.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
So he's a one and I love that.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
I do too. I do too. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
I can't imagine complaining about something every gold day. Yeah, like,
what a miserable way to start your day and then
quoting the thing that I hate so much. It's amazing. Anyway,
have a good day, John, for sure. The people of
Butler are really proud of you. Gen Z is bringing
back mall shopping. Now we want mall shopping. Younger consumers
(22:17):
are heading back to the stores I guess motivated by
TikTok influencers and a desire for hands on experiences. Last year,
buyers between eighteen and twenty four purchased sixty two percent
of their goods in person. In response, malls are retrofitting
spaces with social media friendly designs.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Oh what does that mean? Little photo activation?
Speaker 9 (22:37):
Probably step repeats everywhere. I don't know what sasty booths. Yeah,
have you been to the mall lately? Like there's places
to go in just to take Instagram photos. There's all
those like international markets that are like you can take
photos like it's crazy.
Speaker 6 (22:50):
Yeah, Like there's stores everywhere.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
So now to go get I'm not gonna sell men.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
To go get some underwear, I gotta take a three
six shot with your shopping doing a little boogie, you know,
Like yeah right, they.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
Should do that though, like for fitting rooms, because girls
like to go in there and do their try on halls.
They don't buy anything, but they go in there and
playing on people clothes and.
Speaker 6 (23:11):
Yeah, so it could happen.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
I will say that there are a number of things,
and especially as it comes to like variet, I mean,
so you have all the variety in the world on
the internet, right, you can get anything you possibly want,
you can watch anything you want, you can buy anything
you want, even to our detriment. But there was something
about going to the mall, like with your friends on
Saturday and running into other kids. It was a social thing, yes,
(23:36):
But I don't know how many kids even care about
that anymore because a lot of my friends kids, they
have a lot of friends, they just don't want to
talk to them in person. They'd rather text them or
talk to them in a video game or something. But
I mean there was something like on Saturday, like, Hey,
drive me to the mall. I meet up with my buddies.
The girl group would be there. We'd go to the
food court. My dad would give me twenty bucks or something.
We'd go to Sabra Ro.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Yeah Victoria's Secret.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Yeah right, I mean, but like if you felt like there,
I mean, I couldn't have money for anything, but it
felt like you could eat anything and have anything, and
you could go look at all the stuff that you
aspired to have, you know, for your birthday or whatever.
Speaker 5 (24:10):
Now I don't know, like Amazon, Alexa, you know, buy
me this and then it just comes.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Yeah, there was just something about it and I get it.
Like even the video store experience, if you're old enough
for that, there was something about it, even though there
were you know, I don't know, five hundred videos in
there versus the eight gazillion that you have access to now,
there was just something very like, Yes, I can have
anything I want. I could watch anything I want.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
You read the back of the little cover to see
what the movie is about. You know it was great.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
Yeah it was. And kids these days are not experiencing that.
But nope, watch this. Now they're just going to rebuild.
Like all those malls that are sitting empty now they're
gonna fill them again and then and then people will
go for a while and then they'll be empty.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
And watch this.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
It's like Amazon closing bookstores and opening their own. You
like you, guys Iconic, you're messing with us. It's National
get Over it dates National Meatball Day, that crab meat Day.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
This National Barbie Day today as well. It's a big date.
Caitlin's Entertainment report is on the Freadshew.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
Shots were fired toward the home of Rihanna in Beverly
Hills yesterday, but thankfully she wasn't hurt. They say that
a woman described as around thirty years old, drove near
the property and fired several rounds from her car in
the direction of the house. Officers responded and nabbed the suspect. Now,
Rihanna was home at the time, but like I said,
(25:31):
she is safe. I'm sure terrified and the incident is
still under investigation as for why the hell this woman
did that. Timothy Chlamy is facing backlash from the ballet
and opera communities.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
So you know last week we just spoke about.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
How I am upset. What am I upset about?
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Well, I'll tell you about last night.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
It's part of the ballet community.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Right.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Who ballet and opera community?
Speaker 8 (25:56):
Wow?
Speaker 5 (25:56):
Certainly that yeah, yeah, and remember you don't want to
anger the cat commune.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
And now this I haven't read my newsletter yet, but
about so.
Speaker 5 (26:04):
Timothy made some comments during a CNN and Variety town
hall at the University of Texas with Matthew McConaughey.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
I feel like he just lives there at this point.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
While discussing the movie industry and whether audience will show
up for film, Timothy said he wouldn't want to work
in ballet or opera where it's like keep this thing
alive and even though no one cares about this anymore.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
He quickly added that he meant all.
Speaker 5 (26:27):
Respect to those artists and jokes he had probably lost
fourteen cents in viewership, so they caught some strays for
no reason. Of course, this sparks criticism from performers and
art institutions around the world. Opera singers, ballet dancers, and
companies like the Metropolitan Opera and Royal Ballet pushback online,
saying those art forms are still alive, have strong audiences
(26:50):
and centuries long cultural value. Someone even invited him to
a performance to reconsider his view.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
I just don't understand why it's necessary.
Speaker 5 (26:59):
I mean, you know, those people are making a living
doing it, and so like, if it's not for you,
that's fine, But why'd you just go for them so hard?
Speaker 1 (27:07):
It's very weird.
Speaker 5 (27:09):
And lastly, this is one of the stories its ever
since gen Z has discovered JFK. Junior and Carolyn Bessett's
love story in the New Ryan Murphy Show.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
They're freaking out.
Speaker 5 (27:20):
Okay, they were today years old, so I'm sure, as
you've seen Fred you mentioned this, they're making tiktoks about them.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
They're smoking SIGs again.
Speaker 5 (27:28):
Men are dressing in backwards hats and also JFK Junior's
signature Kane gole hats.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
They're trying to rock that.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
Women are trying to dress like Carolyn in her like
signature nineties minimum minimalist style like neutral colors, ballet flat,
skinny sunglasses, button downs, all the things, headbands. I did
see one poor gen Z ask if there will be
a season two, and I said, you must not have
(27:55):
finished season one.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Let's finish that one first and then we'll see what
comes of it.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
Fortunately, you may not know what happened, like producer Bella,
who was like, why the hell didn't anyone tell me
what happened to those two?
Speaker 1 (28:08):
I don't want to spoil it for you guys, but
it didn't end well.
Speaker 5 (28:12):
So that is their new obsession, and that is why
if you see them talking about it or dressing like that,
SIGs in their ear, that's what they're doing.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
No wonder.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
It's like I forget who it was, Like, maybe it
was Bella, like man really sad about you FK and
your hut, like or maybe somebody else last week and
I'm like, what again, it was sad? What were we
talking about? Like, yeah, those little planes are scary. I'm like,
huh yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
Wait till they found out about Tupac. Oh boy, Yeah,
it's just shake them to their core for sure.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Sure.
Speaker 5 (28:43):
Yeah, it's just it's an interesting time around here. But yeah,
I mean I loved I loved their love story. But
I loved it, you know, back in the day. Anyways,

Speaker 3 (29:37):
I'm appalled. I'm so appalled that I finished the season
sick over the weekend and then went and watched the
UK one too, because I'm appalled by it the whole thing,
And apparently I have nine other or eight other seasons
to watch. I think I watched the first season of
It is any are any of you watching this?
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Though?
Speaker 8 (29:52):
No?
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Should I? I gave up on Love Is Blind?
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Well because I don't want to talk.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
I mean I do talk to myself regularly, like all day,
but I don't want to talk to myself about love.
I may have to do like a TikTok about it
later or something, or maybe maybe a TikTok live because
I got a lot to say. I got a lot.
I may I Kiki. I'm I might doing get ready
with me come on later for nothing. I'm not going anywhere.
I got nothing to do. I'm gonna go to the mall.
(30:17):
I'm gonna go to the mall, and I'm gonna get
ready with me finally to not leave my house and
then talk about Love is Blind. But I'm I'm very
upset about this, and the reunion is Wednesday, and I
will be watching them.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
And my husband.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Yep, so Hobby.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
Maybe we get Hobby on the air and Hobby and
I can talk about it. I surprising viewer, or one
of the most surprising rather surprising viewers of Love is Blind,
would be your husband.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
That is a shocking thing.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
I would let you call him. But he's fighting a
fire right now.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
I'm sure.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Hell yeah, good for him. Yeah he's got fire.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
Is the same as watching Love is Blind. It's the
same sort of thing.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
The boys at the Firehouse. No, he loves that show.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Let's let him know. I'm I got some idle time
there between stand watching together.
Speaker 9 (31:03):
Okay, if you're watching the person A lot of things
about the current season of Love is Blind are irritating me.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
But Alex h is a psychopath and his mom is
an enabler, and I cannot stand him.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Do you know the kind of people?
Speaker 3 (31:21):
He's a good looking guy, which I think gets him
as far as he's gotten. But do you know the
kind of people that just they're they're like constantly, they're sleazy,
and up to something. Yes, and he just uses words.
He thinks he's smarter than you are, and he and
he he projects that by just talking. He just used
(31:41):
his words, but they don't mean anything. Like he's the
corporate speak guy. He is the low hanging fruit guy.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
What's a financial sales professional?
Speaker 2 (31:49):
He doesn't know. He's a man.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
He's a hoe and a youth soccer coach.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
An absolute con man. Well he was. He was drafted
to the some sort of major leagues.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Former D one goalkeeper, but I knee surgeries.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
You know, he wasn't able.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
He couldn't go pro. Jason. I've seen this story before
every guys. I was pro, but that injury.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
But he just talks and talks and talks and he's
a liar and he's lying but he's bad at it.
And like he's just a lot of words and I'm like,
you're not saying anything.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
I hate that word salad.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
I cannot stand you, so upset. And then there's Chris.
He's just a short loser. I don't know, he's just not.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Oh, is that that this is the guy that was
like I like girls who do cross fit or is
that a different Yeah?
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Yeah, he told the girl.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
You know that he was with that Basically she wasn't
fit enough for him.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Yeah, I can't with him.
Speaker 6 (32:49):
Yeah, he's I don't know.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
I'm going through all the people here on the Is
it a good season? It's fine, I will say I
like the UK season better. I'm not sure that I'm
going to like the way it ends when I finally watch.
I don't know how old it is, you know, because
Netflix lies to you and stuff pops up and it's like,
oh me, it's new, but it's not new, so I don't.
I think it's the latest season of UK Love His Wine,
(33:14):
but I don't know when it actually came out.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Why is it better?
Speaker 3 (33:17):
I like the people a little better. I think they're
I think for the most part. I mean there is,
of course there's a villain, but I think for the
most part they're like easier to root for.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
But I really can't with these people.
Speaker 5 (33:31):
Remember the girl during the COVID season who would give
her dog wine because she likes it?
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Oh no, I don't remember that.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
I think she was like the villain.
Speaker 5 (33:40):
I don't know if her name was Jessica or something,
but yeah, she like her dog took a lick of
red wine and she's like she loves it.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
Someone said, no, one's worse than Chris. No, I think
the first guy that I mentioned, the soccer guy, is worse.
Alex h alex h is let me make sure I
got to look at this picture as a nerdy ass,
stupid picture. I can't stand this guy, alex H. Yeah,
he's the worst, truly, I just I just can't. Anyway,
I'll move on now because not enough of you were
(34:08):
watching it, But if you do, we can have a
whole conversation about him.
Speaker 5 (34:11):
But I still don't understand. Is it like should I
should I? Are you enjoying it because it seems like
you're upset right well?
Speaker 4 (34:19):
Are you hate watching this show?
Speaker 3 (34:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (34:22):
Not Laura. What's the name John?
Speaker 1 (34:23):
John?
Speaker 8 (34:24):
John?
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Yeah, No, I am hate watching this show.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
But you know, you get to a certain point where
it's like I'm committed now, like I want to see
what happens in the end. I will say I think
there are two episodes of weddings, and even though you
find out in the end if they stay together at
the wedding, I would fast forward.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
I don't need the weddings to me.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
In a lot of ways, were like the recap episodes,
you know, shows that spend like eighty percent of the
show recapping what we've already seen, only to give you
like a twenty percent nugget.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
Yep, So I already know about your love story.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
I watched the whole thing, so I fast forward through
that and then I just wait to see, like what
they do in the end, Okay, And I will say
I was I was happy with uh. I was happy
with the some of the decisions that people made. Some
of the people stood up there and like this, dude, Alex.
I don't want to give too much away, but some
people got exactly what they had coming and were embarrassed.
(35:17):
But then the guy starts talking again, like shut up,
you're not saying anything. Oh I hate him so mad. Anyway,
You're welcome for the free commercial Netflix. Now people, people
are gonna go watch that show Love is Blind Chicago
and see, I got a lot to catch up one.
But I just think the people in the UK seem
a little bit. I would say eighty percent of them
seem well intentioned and kind ish, and I don't know
(35:39):
what's going to happen, but I just feel like, I
don't know, they just they're a little easier for me
to kind of want to root for, yeah, than some
of these people.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
You watch Chicago though, wasn't that the girl?
Speaker 8 (35:49):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (35:50):
I don't think I watched Maybe I did watch it. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
It turned out there was kind of a kind of
a hot girl on the case. It was Chicago Love
is Blind, and I was like, Oh, she's kind of hot,
and so I go to follow her on Instagram and
then she follows me and I'm like oh, And then
I go to dm R because I'm like, I'm gonna
Oh it didn't work out with you know what's his name,
I'm gonna dm her. It turned out she's been dming
me for a while and I was like, I missed it.
(36:13):
But then she was now she's a famous influencer, so
she's not interested in me. She's famous now, so she
doesn't all of a sudden like I got. When you
get famous, I get ugly apparently, which is interesting.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
I let see blogs and waiting by the phone. More
