Okay, the daughter of a late celebrity is asking you

Speaker 3 (01:45):
Right, you agree? Take a boat?
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Hands up? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Yeah, well I was ready. I was ready to talk
without a bed, without music. But it's just for me.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
I need like a slow transition, you know, like it's
just a fade out would be nice.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Yeah, it's just for my ear. But that's fine. I
think you've done in it with this one again. On
the sheet this morning. The first thing I see is
that you're annoyed when you go to I want to
know how this came up, but you're annoyed when you
go to a restaurant and what happened?
Speaker 5 (02:14):
Yeah, I don't like it when I go to restaurants
to go you with somebody and they feel like they
need to ask and bother our waiter or waitress and
ask them what's good here?
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Or like what do you like?
Speaker 5 (02:25):
What is wrong with you?
Speaker 1 (02:30):
I love you deeply, but like what is wrong with you?
Like why?
Speaker 2 (02:33):
What is the problem with asking people who work at
the place what they're known for or what the best
saying no?
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Like knocking off?
Speaker 5 (02:41):
Just like what do you want to eat? Because I
could recommend like beef to you, Kaylin, and you're gonna
look at me and be like, okay, but I don't
eat beef.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
But I tell the server like, here's what I'm into,
Like what are your highlights on the menu?
Speaker 3 (02:50):
What do you work there? That's true?
Speaker 1 (02:52):
What do you like?
Speaker 5 (02:52):
A taste for something very specific? And I'm over here
telling you like about you.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
If I have a taste for something very specific, I'm
gonna order that thing. But if I don't know what
that I want, then I might ask the person and
I know this before I asked the person, and then
they tell me stuff and none of that really sounds
good to me, so I don't order any of it,
and I usually joke about it like all right, well
thanks for that, but I'm ordering this instead, ha ha whatever.
But like, what what is what is the problem these
people see all day? Lord, they've eaten most of the
(03:18):
food there, Yes, damn, you have to assume. And if
they're lying to you, then their liars. But whatever that,
they can deal with that, you know, the next time
the rapture comes around, they can deal with that.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
But what is that? I do that all the time.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I'll be like what do Yeah, I go to a
place and never gone and I'll be like, what what?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
What do you like on the menu? What's good?
Speaker 5 (03:39):
Are you so annoyed if I was your waitress and
you asked me that, because I'd be like, yes, because.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Are you also annoyed if you're the waitress and I
ask you for water and like to bring me some off?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Like is that annoying to you as well?
Speaker 5 (03:49):
That is universal? We all need to live, like we
needed to drink your water. I'm more concerned about if
you don't like scallops. I'm not going to give you
a presentation about it and like waste your time, And
like you said, what if I turn around and go, actually,
I'm going to try the other thing that I thought
of first reputation, they're not still a.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Paying customer and everything's okay.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Well I don't like it. I do it all the time.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Even worse.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Sometimes I'll give them two options and ask them to
choose for me. Now, how triggered would you.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Be for that?
Speaker 5 (04:14):
I like that because I'm I'm not putting out of
work into that. You're like, hey, what's a beoutter, the
beef barley or the whatever? Write the other soup plat
a tomato basil. Then I'll say I like tomato basil. See,
my taste buds are very different other people's, right, We're
all that when I'm.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Going into the question, So I take that into conscracy
than you.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
I shouldn't ask that question, but other people who have
a less particular taste could very easily ask that question.
And then you might say that the best thing on
the menu is something that I wasn't even looking at
or wouldn't normally order. But if it's like no, no,
this is what we're known for.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
You know.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Then I might try it because you suggest it. I
also might not because it's not a contract, because I
didn't agree to a contract with the waitress if we
didn't sign anything.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Okay, yes with her, Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 6 (05:00):
I am the person I will do this, probably the
sole Let me just be honest there. I do this
all the time, but you know I hate a skit
at dinner, like, let's get this over with. You know,
I looked at the menu before we got here. You
looked at the menu before we got here. No, I
didn't we know what we want, so I didn't be
just done. I didn't look at them guessing on what
you want.
Speaker 7 (05:20):
I am.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
I went to the restaurant, I looked at you for
the first time, and I'm going to I'm going to
assess my mood at the time because what I want
right now might be different than what I want at
six pm or seven pm.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Want to go to dinner telling.
Speaker 8 (05:30):
You that you don't do that about myself the waitress
or a waiter.
Speaker 6 (05:37):
You're like, bro, I don't want to do this, Like
I don't want to play this game with you.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Tell me, but this is there a different I know
you don't like the presentation, like the meat presentation. You
don't like that, Like when we go to a steakhouse
or something with the suits and then they come out
and they show you like, you know, the whole, you know,
the cat.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I know you don't like that.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
No, I don't need that. Fine, but that's different. I
think that's very different than me going like, well, I
don't know, I mean.
Speaker 6 (06:05):
What's no what I feel Paulina on the waitress side,
Like if I'm the waiter, bro, I have seven other
tables I gotta work on. I don't have time to
play this game with you. What do you want off
this menu? You want to ask me all these questions?
Speaker 1 (06:18):
What do I think?
Speaker 3 (06:19):
You don't care?
Speaker 7 (06:19):
What?
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Actually they work in.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
The service industry, like they work there, they're ambassadors of
the police.
Speaker 5 (06:27):
But if I bend this whole like lamb, you know
whatever port chops to you and you get something attely different,
I'm going to be so bothered.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
You are bothered. What's the best thing is?
Speaker 2 (06:39):
And if it's not, if it's not what I want,
then I'm not going to order an end of story,
we move on.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
But maybe you'll inspire me to order something no.
Speaker 7 (06:49):
Time.
Speaker 6 (06:50):
What Okay, stop the Shenanigans. Pick something off this paper.
I just gave you a paper with seven options.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Pick one.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Some of us go out to inner to like relax
and enjoy, have a glass of wine, like enjoy your company.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
You want to get something you like.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
You want to chat like why why are we going
out to dinner with such anger?
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Woke?
Speaker 2 (07:13):
And then like sometimes if I'm choosing between two things,
I'll be like, what about these? And then sometimes if
the person like is really nice and honest, that the
server will be like, m yeah, I definitely would go
with the other thing because they've had it and they
don't like the thing, right book. I mean, if you're
an honest server, not everything on the on every menu
is going to be like you know, Michelin Star. Not
everything is the best thing. You know, there are things
(07:35):
that are better. Hey, a lot of people like this,
right Okay?
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Good? Well then I might order that because if you
sell a lot of them, then they must be pretty good.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
I mean, but how would I know that? I don't
get their P and L. They don't little little POS
system doesn't print out for me and send to my
email before I arrive, You know, the most popular things
at the restaurant.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
I've been betrayed my waiters and waitresses because they gave
me with their recommendation is and I like it, so
like that's why I.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Don't like, why are we for trusting them?
Speaker 5 (08:03):
Because you already know what you're wanting room, So I
don't want to give my trust to Mike client do that.
But other people, Okay, what I'm waitressing on the weekend,
I won't do it. No, I don't.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
I just feel like, come on, you don't ask someone
who knows what you want.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
You don't ask the waiter. But like other people might
not know.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Wild for this, Like why would I not ask the
person who's there all the time if I'm not sure about.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Something, the waitress.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
I ask the questions they do all day serviced right
and then and then you also have to again you
have to assume they've tried a lot of this stuff.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
And some people will be like, I have never heard that.
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
On the flip side, I love when when a waiter
will be like, don't get that, that's not good.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
That's what the that's what I'm just that's what I
just said. Yeah, exactly the same thing. It's like, well
these you think, oh no, not that yeah, or when they.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Don't pick the most expensive thing, like they're honest, sparkling.
Speaker 6 (08:52):
I don't have to I ask the questions. I'm the waitress. Yeah,
is not a fun restaurant? What's wrong with these people?
Speaker 9 (08:59):
Like?
Speaker 1 (08:59):
What is wrong with you? I guess I'm supposed to
go to the restaurant.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
I'm supposed to go to the restaurant, and I'm not
supposed to ask any questions. I'm supposed to have the
menu memorized, yes, and then I'm supposed to just know.
And if I don't get it right, if I don't
wander everything properly the first time, right, Oh boy, PAULI
is gonna be mad.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
You're gonna get up and leave after she eats the food.
I'm about to buy.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Her right betrayed before I have you know what pulling up.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
It's no problem for you because you see forty five
minutes late, so you never saw me.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Do that, so it doesn't matter. That's true. But Jen,
what did you want to say? Please?
Speaker 10 (09:30):
So I'm with Kiki. I definitely review every menu before
I go to any restaurant to make sure I like
what's on the menu because I prefer to want to
eat good food. My husband is horrible. I said, please
do not ask the waitress what their favorite item is,
and he goes.
Speaker 9 (09:46):
I'm not going to what does he do?
Speaker 4 (09:48):
What's your favorite?
Speaker 10 (09:49):
Two options? And then they get their options and they
say their favorite and he picks the opposite.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Embarrassing.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Yeah, I mean I definitely have done it where people
I'm like, what is what is the best thing here?
What do you like?
Speaker 2 (09:59):
And then they say things and it's like, you know,
the Pheasant and I don't know where meeting with pheasant,
but you know, I don't know the famous send burger
or something, and.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
I'm like, I don't. I don't. Okay, thank you for that.
I don't want either one of those things, so I
ordered something else.
Speaker 10 (10:10):
That's ever do that many before you goes.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
It doesn't tell you like the best thing or the
most ordered or customer reviews.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Oh yeah, it tells you the version. Look at the picture. Yeah,
you gotta go down to I mean from the waiter.
I don't like those Google reviews.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
I don't have forty five minutes to research the restaurant,
especially if it's already been decided. It's not like I'm
going to call my friends and go, oh that place
that we mutually decided upon. I don't want to go now.
Speaker 6 (10:37):
No, you just do your research before you get there, exactly, exactly,
you know what.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
I like to just experience things in real time. But
thank you, Jen, have a good day. Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Okay, So how about this? So I've got this a
guy right now. Oh, Paulina, you'd hate this guy. I
need to look up his name. I was talking to my,
uh my friend getting about this yesterday.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
I love this guy. He's in Houston.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
He's a tech Texan, older guy, and he his his
content is that he goes to restaurants for cuisine he's
never had before ever, And he walks in and basically
just says like, hey, I've never eaten Palestinian food before,
I've never eaten Jamaican food before. I've never eaten Filipino
food before.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
What should I have? Do you have a beer that's
you know, from this place? Whatever?
Speaker 2 (11:23):
And then he eats it and people love him. People
love this man because he's asking questions about their culture
and he doesn't know anything about the food.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
You know, what to order? They give him choices. He
makes a choice.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
That's the same thing that you say not going to
Chili's or Applebee's, like and asking the waitresses crazy Like,
that's different. That's the whole experience. You're also doing video content,
you know what I mean. You're you're putting these these
small businesses.
Speaker 11 (11:46):
On like that.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
I'm holding a selfie camera stick up to myself. Not
a chain.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
It can't be a change, can't be a chain, right,
But like, what if the buffaloed.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
The new buffalo?
Speaker 2 (11:55):
That new anymore with the buffalo Mozzarelli sticks, right, Like,
what if they're disappointing? You know, I know, and honest
server would tell you, yeah, they're kind of mad, but
these are really good to get these boom.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
TikTok would have told you that a day ago.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
But you've already spent four hours on TikTok on the
way there.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
I have a life, Okay, I don't have a life,
so I probably have plenty of time for this. But hey, Nancy,
this is one of the wildest takes I've ever heard.
We are not supposed to ask people who work at
the restaurant what is good at the restaurant. According to Paulina, Well, what.
Speaker 7 (12:33):
I usually do, especially if I'm on vacation, I will
be like, hey, if I never come back here again,
what do I have to try before?
Speaker 1 (12:42):
I love that. See, I don't see a problem with this.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
And then if they tell you somebody you don't feel
like trying, you know all the you know, the frog
legs are great, Well I don't.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
I don't really want them, and so then you order
something else. No big deal, no big deal, exactly exactly.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
I agree, Okay, he can get Nancy.
Speaker 7 (13:00):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're welcome to time you too, And Nancy,
I love you, appreciate you. Now you with Nancy. I
told you I do this.
Speaker 6 (13:09):
But I do feel Paulina, it's dumb. I'm really wasting
these people time. On both sides.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Okay, But even if I look at the menu ahead
of time and I know what I want walking in,
what if it's not good? And what if the server
is like mmm, I'll tell you what I don't like.
What I don't like is when a server tells everyone
that they made the best order, like oh, excellent order,
you know, or like excellent choice. It's like, wait, would
you tell me a bit. We're a bad choice, Like
(13:38):
you're saying that ahead of time. I didn't ask you,
which means you wouldn't tell me if I made a
bad choice, and I don't like that, like I would
rather I would rather a server be like, yeah, I
don't know, but this is actually better than that, you know,
if it's like in the same category, like oh, you
ordered this, that's great, this one actually I think this
one's a little bit better, and then I would be
like great, and then I have a choice. I'm educated,
(14:01):
I have knowledge that I cannot have. And the other
thing is one more time about reviews. God, you got
me going already.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Reviews or bs, reviews, or bs.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Almost nobody takes the time to go say I had
the best club sandwich today at this place. It was
the best I've ever had. No, instead, it was there
was a hair in my club sandwich today, you know,
and was it.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Was it your hair?
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Was someone else's hair? We don't really know, Okay, but
no one takes the time to go. I would say
it's ninety percent people complaining about something and ten percent
people saying how good things were. So you can't really
go to the reviews to find out what's good?
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Yes, you can't.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
And don't you know that I go to TikTok don't
you know that? Pretty well? What about reviews?
Speaker 6 (14:45):
Oh yeah, I make good reviews. I make TikTok videos.
If I really love you, and if I hate you,
Veronica or whatever's going to make a review.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
I see a lot of reviews from Veronica, not nearly
as many from Kick whatever it is, leave and the
negative review whatever her name is.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
You can't even keep us trade.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Hey, Bridget, hi, Bridget, this is a crazy thing, Paulina
and Kiki. Now apparently who does it? You're not allowed
to ask the server at the restaurant what's good there?
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Yeah, I don't believe in that.
Speaker 9 (15:20):
I actually think that going to restaurants, you're supposed to
go with your friends and sit and enjoy, take your time, you.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Know, enjoying each other's company, peruse the menu.
Speaker 9 (15:29):
Yeah, I don't believe in Like, all right, listen, I
want to know exactly what I want to eat.
Speaker 11 (15:33):
I want to get in, I want to get out.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
I want to like what is the point of enjoying evening?
If you want to be in and out right?
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Is what I'm talking about. So apparently, Bridget, we're supposed
to go. We're supposed to go on the reviews, We're
supposed to read the menu. I'm supposed to try and
dig up any TikTok about the place he has ever
been made. I got to take three or four hours
before I go to the restaurant to make sure I'm
fully briefed. And then when I walk in there, I
better have the order memorized, and I better spit it out,
and I better not say anything.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
I better not ask anybody any questions.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
But lord knows, if I don't like it, I can
then go home and tear them a new one without
ever having spoken a word or asked a question.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
That's what I've learned this morning, Bridget. I want you
to have a great day.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
No way.
Speaker 11 (16:16):
Yeah, that's crazy, right, this is my life.
Speaker 9 (16:20):
Like, honestly, that's what happens when social media and Google
takes over the world.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
There's no such thing as just wandering into a restaurant
and enjoying.
Speaker 9 (16:28):
The experience, or maybe not enjoying the experience and having
a story. I mean, there's something that's to be sad
about old school dining and old school activities or you
don't have to like be an investigator over every little thing.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
That you nice.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Bridge, you better have your order memorized. You better have
it memorized, and you better not change your mind. And
if something else looks good, don't you dare ask if
it is?
Speaker 7 (16:53):
Nah?
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Uh not you a Bridget.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
No do ask servers. I do ask servers what's good
on the menu?
Speaker 9 (16:59):
Bought my deference.
Speaker 11 (17:00):
I'm gonna tell you.
Speaker 9 (17:02):
I was in the service industry for a very long
time as a server and a bartender, and I actually
enjoyed it when people ask me what I enjoyed to eat.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
That's interesting.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
How about that? Thank you, Bridget very nice, glad, Okay,
one at a time at a time.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
No, she's good. She's a good one.
Speaker 5 (17:20):
I don't think you could take your time like you
can sit down, relax, have wine and all that feel
like it.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
But just like, don't be bugging your surface guys.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Let them just you know, let them give me to
bug them on the people who are there to help me.
Don't ask them to help the biggest stories of the day.
Let's say two things that do that do annoy me.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
And we were talking about this out the air at
a restaurant, I will say this. If you ordered like
you guess, I'll have the chef salad, but I don't
want ham, turkey, chicken, cheese, egg, lettuce, ranch dressing.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Okay, well then this hard boiled eggs right right?
Speaker 2 (17:56):
So I think I said no. I think I don't
remember if I said no egg, but don't bring the eggy.
So now it's like, so what what do you want them?
So you want I think that's all the ingredients actually,
so there's nothing left. My mom does this all the time. Yes,
I would like, you know, i'd like a hamburger, uh,
you know, medium. I'd like the fries extra crispy. I'd
like the cheese, you know, churned this morning. I don't
(18:21):
want this kind of lettuce. I want that kind of
lettuce eventually, but this is I'm paying for it, so
I should have what I want. Like well then why,
well then why did we go here? If you're going
to change absolutely everything about it, then why are we
even here?
Speaker 7 (18:33):
Like?
Speaker 2 (18:34):
That's that's my thing is if what you just ordered
resembles doesn't resemble anything like what was on the menu,
then I think you're almost better off saying what you
want as opposed to what you ordered. Yes, I'll have
the fish tacos with chicken. It's like, well, okay, but
it's a totally different preparation. Oh yeah, well then I
want the chicken.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Ah damn.
Speaker 6 (18:56):
Now that that is a real thing, like in places
like raisin canes so hard, like you can't get fancy there.
And that bothers me because I want to say, give
me extra this, a no SALTI or this, like I
want to make some type of modification. But it's like
it's either chicken strips or not. Like you're gonna have
the strips or you're not. There's no other way to
mix this up. It's just like, yeah, look.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
If you don't want mayo, if you don't want like,
if there's a single ingredient that you don't like, I
don't like onion. A lot of people don't like onions.
I'll eat them, but a lot of people don't like onions.
A lot of people don't like mayo. A lot of people,
you know, they can't eat cheese or whatever. So it's like, hey,
or if it's an allergy, that's different. But then again,
if you have an allergy, then you know when you're
ordering that item. Maybe that's not the item for you know,
(19:37):
all I'm saying is just.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
Write down the rules because it's a lot going on.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Yeah, there was another one.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
I don't like, Oh oh, when people are like obsessed
with where the food was was sourced.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
That's a new one.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Now, look, if you if you're going if you have
a serious dietary restriction, right and you really are very
concerned about this out or the other thing, and I
think that's something where maybe you'd like jump online or
you know, like if you're worried about seed oils or
something like that, like health related. But it's like, it's
where is this cod sourced from? I don't know, the
(20:13):
back of a truck because you're in Chili's and it
was deep fried. Or my favorite of the people who
are so persnicketty about well I don't eat meat or
I don't do this, or I don't do that, and
then they'll they'll just snarf down if that's the word,
some potbellies chili that shits meat, meat on meat on meat,
just ground beef all in it.
Speaker 9 (20:31):
You know.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
My thing is like, but I thought we just did
a whole hour about how you can't eat meat, but
then you eat it, then you'll then you eat it
right in for it, like you know what I mean.
Like sometimes I just think, I think these kind of
activities can be attention seeking sometimes where it's like, oh,
I couldn't possibly eat that it has meat in it.
The next day you talk about going to McDonald's having
a big mac. Yeah, or you know, oh I don't,
I don't. I only eat some I only eat organic
(20:54):
this and that, and then you know, but but you'll
eat a taco bell a double deckord taco from the
white who came in you, Oh, well, that's certainly not organic.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
It's delicious and you should eat it. You should eat it, but.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
It's but why do we just have this whole debate
about how, oh my gosh, I my body can tell
the difference between you know, a farm raised and wild caught.
Who we all know people who they make a big
scene out of things, but then it turns out they
don't really they don't really have to do that. Mark
your wife does this, does the ingredients thing?
Speaker 11 (21:30):
Yeah, she does it every time we go on we
go out and she's like, no, I don't want no
crew times.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Oh that's it just the cr I mean if she
doesn't want crew times, I'm not offended by oh oh yeah,
I think, yeah, you cut out, so she'll order the
salad without any.
Speaker 11 (21:46):
Salad exactly and with fork.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Yeah right, we could have.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Saved ourself a lot of time if you just said
give me a bowl and a fork.
Speaker 11 (22:00):
Exactly. The album going this time the weekend and she
was like, I don't want those long green things. I
was like, oh my gosh, you mean peppers. And she's like,
I don't want the black things. And then I don't
want this and I don't want that, and I was
just like, oh my gosh, she's like, no cheese. I
was like, oh, I couldn't give a bowl with the lettuce?
Can I could get home?
Speaker 2 (22:20):
I mean I could have said we could have brought
you a head of lettuce and then said a lot
of money and time.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
We don't even have to be here, right, Yeah, thank you,
thank you. I have a good day. Man. Thought you
called Christina you do the sourcings thing.
Speaker 9 (22:38):
I you know what?
Speaker 7 (22:39):
So I want the type of person I would totally
admit like mao or pickles or cheese, because I don't
like like creamy, creamy things very much. But if I
go to a restaurant or something like that and they've
got fish on the menu. Like my husband and I
we were at a restaurant this weekend and I was like,
you know, where is the salmon source? Is it caught
(23:00):
or is it firmed? And she and she's like, let
me go check. And she went and checked and she
said it is wild caught, and it's like it has
a different flavor and taste and it's just it's it's
not the same. And I wouldn't have ordered it. I
wouldn't have ordered salmon if it happened. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Look, I get it's fitched fifty bucks on the menu
or whatever. So you want what you want.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
But I guess what I'm saying is were you at
you know, were you at Applebee's or were you at
you know La?
Speaker 1 (23:30):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Like I mean, because like let's let's let's meet our expectations,
Like let's meet the restaurant where they are, you know,
Like if I'm at Portillo's, I'm not you know, is
this angus beef?
Speaker 1 (23:39):
I don't know. I don't have no id. No it's not.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
It's off the back of a drug. It was frozen,
you know, So I mean, I don't want you to
not get what you want. I just think sometimes it's like, Okay,
here we go. Is this organic letnuce? But is it organic?
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Hydro planet?
Speaker 11 (23:53):
Was it?
Speaker 5 (23:53):
Was it?
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Where's the greenhouse located? What kind of soil do you
think was it? It's like, I don't know, I don't know,
I don't know. It's let it's lettuce, Steve.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Why are you here? Christina? I love you, have a
good day.
Speaker 10 (24:05):
I love you.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
But can I one thing?
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Of course you can.
Speaker 11 (24:08):
Awesome.
Speaker 7 (24:09):
So the thing is so like this was definitely like
it wasn't like a one like, it wasn't an Applebee's
or McDonald's or something like this. This was like a
local business on the outer banks. So you'd assume that, yes,
they have fresh seasons.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
I think that's fair though, Like here we are, we're
near water, Like did you get what I'm eating out
of that water or some other kind of water or
no water at all? Like was it grown in space
or something like? I think I think that's fair. That's
a fair question to ask. But again, like if we're
in you know, Kansas City, and you're asking me where
the where the tuna came from? And if it's been frozen,
and how many times? And and you know what what
(24:46):
was the fish's name?
Speaker 9 (24:47):
You know?
Speaker 1 (24:48):
And like was it nice?
Speaker 7 (24:49):
Was it was? You know?
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Did you talk to it nice before you killed it?
Speaker 9 (24:52):
You know?
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Like I don't know. These can any questions you want?
Speaker 3 (24:56):
You can ask everything.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Thank you, Christy to have a good day.
Speaker 7 (25:00):
Thanks forgetting I.
Speaker 6 (25:01):
Mean and now and now we all sound like pricks,
but no, no, no, I need to look up the menu.
You want to know where the fish came from? Get
on Google, you on TikTok uh. Yeah, I just are
you guys?
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Sound fun?
Speaker 1 (25:11):
I think you know, let's read the room, guys.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
A sixty nine year old truck driver identified as a
gun in Perry, he ended up stabbing former NFL quarterback
Mark Sanchez. He sued Sanchez and Fox Corporation in civil court.
I think they're both still in the hospitals, so they
didn't waste any time in this. In the lawsuit, he
claims that Sanchez instigated an altercation while appearing intoxicated. He
says he suffered significant injuries to his head, jawn, neck,
(25:34):
and was left permanently disfigured. He's seeking compensatory impunitive damages,
money for what he lost, and extra to penalize Sanchez,
plus legal costs. And I know he's I mentioned this,
He's doing Sanchez himself, and Fox I did mention that.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Travelers across the US are feeling the effects of the
government shutdown as a shortage of air traffic controllers causes
delays at major airports. Controllers are considered to say workers,
so they have to work during the shutdown, but they're
not being paid. Consequently, more controllers are calling out sick.
One of the most severe disruptions happened yesterday at California's
Burbank Airport, where the control tower was shut down completely
(26:12):
in the middle of the day, resulting in hours long delays.
The towers at Burbank, Phoenix, and Denver all had staffing triggers,
which were reported in the public FAA Operations plan on
the facilities that handle air traffic around airports in Newark,
New Jersey, Jacksonville, Florida, Chicago, and DC. Also Indianapolis were
also short staff. So think about that the controllers are
(26:36):
many of them are working still and yet they're not
being paid or don't know when they're going to get
paid until the shutdown's over, so and these guys are
the backbone of all the business and personal travel that
you're doing.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
So we're grateful to all of them.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
The oldest operating casino in Las Vegas, the El Cortez
Hotel and Casino, has launched a Halloween season contest. They're
going to pay five grand to unlucky person willing to
spend a weekend exploring its most haunted areas.
Speaker 8 (27:04):
Oh my goodness, I was just there. I didn't realize
it was so haunted at the El Cortes Old Vegas
five thousand dollars. The winner will use ghost hunting tools
like EMF meters and thermal sensors to investigate reported paranormal
activity in places like the casino floor and creepy hallways.
The contest runs through October, with the ghost hunt scheduled
for early December. Applicants must document evidence of their findings,
(27:28):
and rumors even suggest the basement holds the remains of
former employees, adding to the eerie atmosphere.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Wow, would you do this? Do you mess with this stuff?
Speaker 7 (27:36):
Like?
Speaker 2 (27:36):
There's the Congress Hotel in Chicago on Michigan Avenue, which
is notoriously haunted, and I guess you can stay in
rooms where people have been killed or ghosts still linger
or whatever. I mean, are we messing with this stuff?
I think a lot of it is probably meant. I mean,
I'm probably all mental. We're being real, Like I don't
know that ghosts are like really like you know, I
(27:57):
poking you when you sleep, and like, hey, you know,
if I'm a ghost, I'm busy. Like I'm a ghost now,
like I can float around and I can look at
way more exciting stuff than you sleep in your hairnet
or whatever. Like I could be doing all kinds of
cool stuff. I'm dead, So why am I messing with you?
Speaker 9 (28:11):
You know?
Speaker 1 (28:12):
But would you do it?
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Like if I said, hey, I'll give you, you know,
X amount of dollars to stay in a hotel room
where somebody was murdered for the night, would you do it?
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Well, I'm not like sleeping there. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
We toured an old like mental health hospital in northern
Michigan and there were absolutely like a door slammed behind me.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
I felt stuff. My grandpa saw someone waving in a
window and there was no one there, like it's real.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
I still contend though, that if I tell you this
place is really haunted and it's the middle of the night,
and it's very scary. It's haunted. Your your your brain
is your condition. Now you're going to walk in and
you're going to every any anything that would if I
didn't tell you that, and any creek or you know whatever.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
Well, I grew up in a house that was haunted,
and no one told me that, Like until the ghost
mess with me.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
It shows bread you'd never go to growing up with
the ghost. They're real to share our space.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Well I don't. I don't know that. I haven't grown
up with a ghosts. I just know one's messed with me. No, No,
I haven't seen it. I haven't seen the ghost I
have Okay, it's creepy, okay.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
And there's no possibility that there's no possibility that you
made that up in your head.
Speaker 9 (29:17):
No I was a child.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
No possibility that you that you just sort of created that.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
My mom is just like me, and when we believe,
we stick together.
Speaker 5 (29:26):
She's had priests in my house, in my new house,
every house, every we went like always blessing it because
I we don't mess with that, because I do.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Believe in spirits and reincarnation. There's a lot of things
I believe in, but I don't. I don't necessarily think
that they're coming back to mess with us.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
I don't. That doesn't make any sense to me. Like
if I die, I'm in heaven. Now I don't got
time for you.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
I don't think happy ghosts are messing with us.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
But I think if something tragic happened, sometimes, well I
would hope they're in.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
A better place than if something tragic happens.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
But anyway, young people, teams, and folks in their twenties
are are falling in love with old tech again.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
So now.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Young people they want flip phones, digital cameras like physical
cameras and CDs. Why Because many feel overwhelmed by smartphones
in constant screen time. They want simple devices that don't
imend their attention. Retro or dumb devices often come with
just the basics calls, text, maybe a camera, no NonStop
aps to social medium. So it's not a nostalgic trip necessarily,
(30:23):
it's a reaction to feeling controlled by tech, trying to
take back agency over attention and focus. I would love
to try that to run here. I'm not even sure
if my brain could allow it anymore. To the final
point there about how we're all being controlled by tech
and the expectations, because if I went to the people
here and say, hey, guys, guess what. I'm getting a
flip phone and there's no email on that thing, so sorry.
(30:43):
But if you email me and ask me for something
at three pm, sorry, not gonna be able to get
to it. I don't have it on my phone anymore.
Oh and by the way, if you text me, I
probably won't respond because I may not get it. But
it'll also take me four hours to write a sentence
because I have to push the same button three times
to get the letter that I want. Oh sorry, guys.
You know, if you hit me between business hours, I'll
be happy to get to it. But I'm overwhelmed by tech,
(31:05):
so I'm not going to do any of that. How
would that go over?
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Really?
Speaker 2 (31:09):
I guess you people getting fired for this because the
expectation is that you're reachable everywhere and you can do
anything anywhere you go. Oh, you have the Internet, you
have an app, you have an iPad, you have a laptop,
so I can you know, Oh you can handle that
right now, can't you.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (31:25):
My favorite of the people who need stuff right now
I had this happen last weekend. There's a person who's
notorious for constantly needing what they need right this second,
no matter.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
When it is.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
And then I asked a question and it was respectfully,
you can contact me during business hours?
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Oh can I?
Speaker 8 (31:41):
WHOA?
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Oh can I?
Speaker 11 (31:44):
Well?
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Then some can you.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
And scene and also this is the last story is
for you. I have two, I have two, and then
we're moving on from headlines.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
This is for you.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Kikip TikTok may play a role in why some women
are sexually attracted to criminals.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Huh yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Researchers analyzed dozens of TikTok videos and comments that romanticized offenders,
clips where users joked, flirted, or said they could fix criminals.
They found recurring themes like glorifying their looks, imagining themselves
as victims, or confusing actors who play criminals with the
real thing. They then serve a ninety five young women
who use TikTok and those who actively liked or watched
(32:23):
this kind of content score to hire on a new scale,
which is a term for attraction to criminals.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
Hybrisk to philia. I hope.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
I said that right personality traits like manipulativeness and lack
of remorse were also linked to this attraction. The study
is small, but suggests that TikTok doesn't just reflect these fantasies,
it may help fuel them. Oh wow, there's a whole
culture on the internet about this, about inmates that have
dating profiles on a website. You can send them money,
you can connect with them. Would you ever have any
(32:56):
interest in a criminal a convict? No, not currently, but
criminals need love to Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Yeah. Do you ever?
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Are you on that side of TikTok where you see
videos made by people in prison?
Speaker 9 (33:07):
No?
Speaker 1 (33:07):
I were jail.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
What's before?
Speaker 1 (33:08):
I was there?
Speaker 3 (33:09):
And I was very curious on how they got the devices?
Speaker 1 (33:11):
And then you much better WiFi than I do. How's
that possible?
Speaker 7 (33:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Try?
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Someone is lighting? Where'd you get the lighting?
Speaker 11 (33:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (33:17):
You get a BATCHI grills Sometimes I feel, Yeah, it's
very wild in there.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
It's like, man, you got a full setup in there?
Speaker 11 (33:24):
Right?
Speaker 1 (33:24):
They stream a lot. Where where'd you get the little
pell mic from?
Speaker 11 (33:28):
Like?
Speaker 1 (33:28):
What's going on?
Speaker 2 (33:29):
And ARB's because you know, I love a food story.
Arby's has rolled out what it says is the first
of its kind product. It's steak nuggets.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
I'm good. Does this hit the same way a chicken
nugget does?
Speaker 2 (33:39):
In a news release, the company described the offering as
a premium protein product and a whole new way to nugget.
The nuggets, which were offered It's Like locations earlier this year,
will be available across the country for a limited time
starting Monday. ARB says the juicy, handcut, bite sized pieces
of steak will be offered in servings of five or
nine pieces with hickory barbecue sauce for dipping sandwiches or
(34:00):
on top of mac and cheese in the steak nugget bowl.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
Now, I know you don't need meat.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
I know you don't eat cows, Kaitlin, But like you know,
they're trying to develop a new category here. So we're
all we all have this look on our face like eh,
but is it because we don't want it or because
it's just new, it's a new concept, Like, well, we've
never tried that before, never tried to steak nugget before.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
You know, if you guys want to eat a steak nugget,
I'm happy for you.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
I just I didn't hit the same way for me,
because you know, the chicken nuggets have the breading on it.
I don't think these are bread and I think these
are just chunks of meat, so I think you'd have
to have a fork. So the finger food, you know,
component is lost. Yeah, no, not for your It's national
taco day to day, a national bathtub day today.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
The entertainer report on the taco got me more than
bathtub but Caln's entertainer reports on The Fresh Show.
Speaker 4 (34:54):
Robin Williams daughter Zelda is slamming people for using AI
to bring her dad back in videos. She called the
clips gross, said they disrespect who he really was. Even worse,
Zelda says that fans keep sending her these AI videos
of her late dad, which is understandably very upsetting. She
compared the fake videos to overprocessed hot dogs, something that
(35:15):
looks like him but just isn't real. She's spoken out
before about how wrong it is to digitally recreate actors
who can't give permission, including her dad, and I one
hundred percent agree. Just days after she said their divorce
was the best thing that ever happened to her, j
Loo and Ben Affleck reunited at the Kiss of the
Spider Woman premiere in New York, even though they are
(35:36):
now divorced. Ben is actually one of the movies producers
executive producers, so they both kind of had to be there.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
But on the red carpet they did greet each other
very warmly.
Speaker 4 (35:46):
They looked happy to see each other, and Jlo thanked Ben,
saying the movie wouldn't have been made without him.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
He praised her performance, calling it the role she was
born to play.
Speaker 4 (35:55):
So that is some good exes, if I had to say,
especially after she said that speaking of divorce just.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
Days after their actors By the way, remember that fair.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
Fair.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
These are professional performers, fair, but with a bunch of
cameras everywhere. So I think you know a lot of people.
I think they're more well suited to pull this off
in most people.
Speaker 7 (36:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
Maybe.
Speaker 4 (36:18):
Speaking of divorce, Just days after filing from Keith Urban
after nineteen years of marriage, Nicole Kidman announced a major
new project, Kiki, you better make sure you watch this one.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
We got a support so she will start in.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
And executive produce Discretion in eight episode, a twenty four
legal thriller for Paramount Plus.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
So somebody's got to give me their login.
Speaker 4 (36:37):
Co starring Al Fannings, the show follows a young legal
associate played by El who uncovers her firm's dark secrets
and clashes with her mentor, a.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
Powerful partner played by Nicole.
Speaker 4 (36:48):
The film being begins next year, but as you know,
she filed on September thirtieth in Nashville, where they lived
with their two daughters. Word is she did not want
the split, felt very betrayed, having tried to save the
marriage over the summer. There is if you are looking
for another way to support her now well before this
comes out, The Undoing on HBO.
Speaker 3 (37:08):
With her and what is his name that British actor?
Hold on, I'm looking for his name right now, Hugh Grant.
Speaker 4 (37:17):
It is on HBO, The Undoing, And it's a really
really good She's great at playing like creepy characters.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
Right, you agree? Take a boat?
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Hands up? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Yeah, well I was ready. I was ready to talk
without a bed, without music. But it's just for me.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
I need like a slow transition, you know, like it's
just a fade out would be nice.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Yeah, it's just for my ear. But that's fine. I
think you've done in it with this one again. On
the sheet this morning. The first thing I see is
that you're annoyed when you go to I want to
know how this came up, but you're annoyed when you
go to a restaurant and what happened?
Speaker 5 (02:14):
Yeah, I don't like it when I go to restaurants
to go you with somebody and they feel like they
need to ask and bother our waiter or waitress and
ask them what's good here?
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Or like what do you like?
Speaker 5 (02:25):
What is wrong with you?
Speaker 1 (02:30):
I love you deeply, but like what is wrong with you?
Like why?
Speaker 2 (02:33):
What is the problem with asking people who work at
the place what they're known for or what the best
saying no?
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Like knocking off?
Speaker 5 (02:41):
Just like what do you want to eat? Because I
could recommend like beef to you, Kaylin, and you're gonna
look at me and be like, okay, but I don't
eat beef.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
But I tell the server like, here's what I'm into,
Like what are your highlights on the menu?
Speaker 3 (02:50):
What do you work there? That's true?
Speaker 1 (02:52):
What do you like?
Speaker 5 (02:52):
A taste for something very specific? And I'm over here
telling you like about you.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
If I have a taste for something very specific, I'm
gonna order that thing. But if I don't know what
that I want, then I might ask the person and
I know this before I asked the person, and then
they tell me stuff and none of that really sounds
good to me, so I don't order any of it,
and I usually joke about it like all right, well
thanks for that, but I'm ordering this instead, ha ha whatever.
But like, what what is what is the problem these
people see all day? Lord, they've eaten most of the
(03:18):
food there, Yes, damn, you have to assume. And if
they're lying to you, then their liars. But whatever that,
they can deal with that, you know, the next time
the rapture comes around, they can deal with that.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
But what is that? I do that all the time.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I'll be like what do Yeah, I go to a
place and never gone and I'll be like, what what?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
What do you like on the menu? What's good?
Speaker 5 (03:39):
Are you so annoyed if I was your waitress and
you asked me that, because I'd be like, yes, because.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Are you also annoyed if you're the waitress and I
ask you for water and like to bring me some off?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Like is that annoying to you as well?
Speaker 5 (03:49):
That is universal? We all need to live, like we
needed to drink your water. I'm more concerned about if
you don't like scallops. I'm not going to give you
a presentation about it and like waste your time, And
like you said, what if I turn around and go, actually,
I'm going to try the other thing that I thought
of first reputation, they're not still a.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Paying customer and everything's okay.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Well I don't like it. I do it all the time.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Even worse.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Sometimes I'll give them two options and ask them to
choose for me. Now, how triggered would you.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Be for that?
Speaker 5 (04:14):
I like that because I'm I'm not putting out of
work into that. You're like, hey, what's a beoutter, the
beef barley or the whatever? Write the other soup plat
a tomato basil. Then I'll say I like tomato basil. See,
my taste buds are very different other people's, right, We're
all that when I'm.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Going into the question, So I take that into conscracy
than you.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
I shouldn't ask that question, but other people who have
a less particular taste could very easily ask that question.
And then you might say that the best thing on
the menu is something that I wasn't even looking at
or wouldn't normally order. But if it's like no, no,
this is what we're known for.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
You know.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Then I might try it because you suggest it. I
also might not because it's not a contract, because I
didn't agree to a contract with the waitress if we
didn't sign anything.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Okay, yes with her, Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 6 (05:00):
I am the person I will do this, probably the
sole Let me just be honest there. I do this
all the time, but you know I hate a skit
at dinner, like, let's get this over with. You know,
I looked at the menu before we got here. You
looked at the menu before we got here. No, I
didn't we know what we want, so I didn't be
just done. I didn't look at them guessing on what
you want.
Speaker 7 (05:20):
I am.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
I went to the restaurant, I looked at you for
the first time, and I'm going to I'm going to
assess my mood at the time because what I want
right now might be different than what I want at
six pm or seven pm.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Want to go to dinner telling.
Speaker 8 (05:30):
You that you don't do that about myself the waitress
or a waiter.
Speaker 6 (05:37):
You're like, bro, I don't want to do this, Like
I don't want to play this game with you.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Tell me, but this is there a different I know
you don't like the presentation, like the meat presentation. You
don't like that, Like when we go to a steakhouse
or something with the suits and then they come out
and they show you like, you know, the whole, you know,
the cat.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I know you don't like that.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
No, I don't need that. Fine, but that's different. I
think that's very different than me going like, well, I
don't know, I mean.
Speaker 6 (06:05):
What's no what I feel Paulina on the waitress side,
Like if I'm the waiter, bro, I have seven other
tables I gotta work on. I don't have time to
play this game with you. What do you want off
this menu? You want to ask me all these questions?
Speaker 1 (06:18):
What do I think?
Speaker 3 (06:19):
You don't care?
Speaker 7 (06:19):
What?
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Actually they work in.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
The service industry, like they work there, they're ambassadors of
the police.
Speaker 5 (06:27):
But if I bend this whole like lamb, you know
whatever port chops to you and you get something attely different,
I'm going to be so bothered.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
You are bothered. What's the best thing is?
Speaker 2 (06:39):
And if it's not, if it's not what I want,
then I'm not going to order an end of story,
we move on.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
But maybe you'll inspire me to order something no.
Speaker 7 (06:49):
Time.
Speaker 6 (06:50):
What Okay, stop the Shenanigans. Pick something off this paper.
I just gave you a paper with seven options.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Pick one.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Some of us go out to inner to like relax
and enjoy, have a glass of wine, like enjoy your company.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
You want to get something you like.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
You want to chat like why why are we going
out to dinner with such anger?
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Woke?
Speaker 2 (07:13):
And then like sometimes if I'm choosing between two things,
I'll be like, what about these? And then sometimes if
the person like is really nice and honest, that the
server will be like, m yeah, I definitely would go
with the other thing because they've had it and they
don't like the thing, right book. I mean, if you're
an honest server, not everything on the on every menu
is going to be like you know, Michelin Star. Not
everything is the best thing. You know, there are things
(07:35):
that are better. Hey, a lot of people like this,
right Okay?
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Good? Well then I might order that because if you
sell a lot of them, then they must be pretty good.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
I mean, but how would I know that? I don't
get their P and L. They don't little little POS
system doesn't print out for me and send to my
email before I arrive, You know, the most popular things
at the restaurant.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
I've been betrayed my waiters and waitresses because they gave
me with their recommendation is and I like it, so
like that's why I.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Don't like, why are we for trusting them?
Speaker 5 (08:03):
Because you already know what you're wanting room, So I
don't want to give my trust to Mike client do that.
But other people, Okay, what I'm waitressing on the weekend,
I won't do it. No, I don't.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
I just feel like, come on, you don't ask someone
who knows what you want.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
You don't ask the waiter. But like other people might
not know.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Wild for this, Like why would I not ask the
person who's there all the time if I'm not sure about.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Something, the waitress.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
I ask the questions they do all day serviced right
and then and then you also have to again you
have to assume they've tried a lot of this stuff.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
And some people will be like, I have never heard that.
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
On the flip side, I love when when a waiter
will be like, don't get that, that's not good.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
That's what the that's what I'm just that's what I
just said. Yeah, exactly the same thing. It's like, well
these you think, oh no, not that yeah, or when they.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Don't pick the most expensive thing, like they're honest, sparkling.
Speaker 6 (08:52):
I don't have to I ask the questions. I'm the waitress. Yeah,
is not a fun restaurant? What's wrong with these people?
Speaker 9 (08:59):
Like?
Speaker 1 (08:59):
What is wrong with you? I guess I'm supposed to
go to the restaurant.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
I'm supposed to go to the restaurant, and I'm not
supposed to ask any questions. I'm supposed to have the
menu memorized, yes, and then I'm supposed to just know.
And if I don't get it right, if I don't
wander everything properly the first time, right, Oh boy, PAULI
is gonna be mad.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
You're gonna get up and leave after she eats the food.
I'm about to buy.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Her right betrayed before I have you know what pulling up.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
It's no problem for you because you see forty five
minutes late, so you never saw me.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Do that, so it doesn't matter. That's true. But Jen,
what did you want to say? Please?
Speaker 10 (09:30):
So I'm with Kiki. I definitely review every menu before
I go to any restaurant to make sure I like
what's on the menu because I prefer to want to
eat good food. My husband is horrible. I said, please
do not ask the waitress what their favorite item is,
and he goes.
Speaker 9 (09:46):
I'm not going to what does he do?
Speaker 4 (09:48):
What's your favorite?
Speaker 10 (09:49):
Two options? And then they get their options and they
say their favorite and he picks the opposite.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Embarrassing.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Yeah, I mean I definitely have done it where people
I'm like, what is what is the best thing here?
What do you like?
Speaker 2 (09:59):
And then they say things and it's like, you know,
the Pheasant and I don't know where meeting with pheasant,
but you know, I don't know the famous send burger
or something, and.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
I'm like, I don't. I don't. Okay, thank you for that.
I don't want either one of those things, so I
ordered something else.
Speaker 10 (10:10):
That's ever do that many before you goes.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
It doesn't tell you like the best thing or the
most ordered or customer reviews.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Oh yeah, it tells you the version. Look at the picture. Yeah,
you gotta go down to I mean from the waiter.
I don't like those Google reviews.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
I don't have forty five minutes to research the restaurant,
especially if it's already been decided. It's not like I'm
going to call my friends and go, oh that place
that we mutually decided upon. I don't want to go now.
Speaker 6 (10:37):
No, you just do your research before you get there, exactly, exactly,
you know what.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
I like to just experience things in real time. But
thank you, Jen, have a good day. Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Okay, So how about this? So I've got this a
guy right now. Oh, Paulina, you'd hate this guy. I
need to look up his name. I was talking to my,
uh my friend getting about this yesterday.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
I love this guy. He's in Houston.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
He's a tech Texan, older guy, and he his his
content is that he goes to restaurants for cuisine he's
never had before ever, And he walks in and basically
just says like, hey, I've never eaten Palestinian food before,
I've never eaten Jamaican food before. I've never eaten Filipino
food before.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
What should I have? Do you have a beer that's
you know, from this place? Whatever?
Speaker 2 (11:23):
And then he eats it and people love him. People
love this man because he's asking questions about their culture
and he doesn't know anything about the food.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
You know, what to order? They give him choices. He
makes a choice.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
That's the same thing that you say not going to
Chili's or Applebee's, like and asking the waitresses crazy Like,
that's different. That's the whole experience. You're also doing video content,
you know what I mean. You're you're putting these these
small businesses.
Speaker 11 (11:46):
On like that.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
I'm holding a selfie camera stick up to myself. Not
a chain.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
It can't be a change, can't be a chain, right,
But like, what if the buffaloed.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
The new buffalo?
Speaker 2 (11:55):
That new anymore with the buffalo Mozzarelli sticks, right, Like,
what if they're disappointing? You know, I know, and honest
server would tell you, yeah, they're kind of mad, but
these are really good to get these boom.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
TikTok would have told you that a day ago.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
But you've already spent four hours on TikTok on the
way there.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
I have a life, Okay, I don't have a life,
so I probably have plenty of time for this. But hey, Nancy,
this is one of the wildest takes I've ever heard.
We are not supposed to ask people who work at
the restaurant what is good at the restaurant. According to Paulina, Well, what.
Speaker 7 (12:33):
I usually do, especially if I'm on vacation, I will
be like, hey, if I never come back here again,
what do I have to try before?
Speaker 1 (12:42):
I love that. See, I don't see a problem with this.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
And then if they tell you somebody you don't feel
like trying, you know all the you know, the frog
legs are great, Well I don't.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
I don't really want them, and so then you order
something else. No big deal, no big deal, exactly exactly.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
I agree, Okay, he can get Nancy.
Speaker 7 (13:00):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're welcome to time you too, And Nancy,
I love you, appreciate you. Now you with Nancy. I
told you I do this.
Speaker 6 (13:09):
But I do feel Paulina, it's dumb. I'm really wasting
these people time. On both sides.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Okay, But even if I look at the menu ahead
of time and I know what I want walking in,
what if it's not good? And what if the server
is like mmm, I'll tell you what I don't like.
What I don't like is when a server tells everyone
that they made the best order, like oh, excellent order,
you know, or like excellent choice. It's like, wait, would
you tell me a bit. We're a bad choice, Like
(13:38):
you're saying that ahead of time. I didn't ask you,
which means you wouldn't tell me if I made a
bad choice, and I don't like that, like I would
rather I would rather a server be like, yeah, I
don't know, but this is actually better than that, you know,
if it's like in the same category, like oh, you
ordered this, that's great, this one actually I think this
one's a little bit better, and then I would be
like great, and then I have a choice. I'm educated,
(14:01):
I have knowledge that I cannot have. And the other
thing is one more time about reviews. God, you got
me going already.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Reviews or bs, reviews, or bs.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Almost nobody takes the time to go say I had
the best club sandwich today at this place. It was
the best I've ever had. No, instead, it was there
was a hair in my club sandwich today, you know,
and was it.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Was it your hair?
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Was someone else's hair? We don't really know, Okay, but
no one takes the time to go. I would say
it's ninety percent people complaining about something and ten percent
people saying how good things were. So you can't really
go to the reviews to find out what's good?
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Yes, you can't.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
And don't you know that I go to TikTok don't
you know that? Pretty well? What about reviews?
Speaker 6 (14:45):
Oh yeah, I make good reviews. I make TikTok videos.
If I really love you, and if I hate you,
Veronica or whatever's going to make a review.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
I see a lot of reviews from Veronica, not nearly
as many from Kick whatever it is, leave and the
negative review whatever her name is.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
You can't even keep us trade.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Hey, Bridget, hi, Bridget, this is a crazy thing, Paulina
and Kiki. Now apparently who does it? You're not allowed
to ask the server at the restaurant what's good there?
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Yeah, I don't believe in that.
Speaker 9 (15:20):
I actually think that going to restaurants, you're supposed to
go with your friends and sit and enjoy, take your time, you.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Know, enjoying each other's company, peruse the menu.
Speaker 9 (15:29):
Yeah, I don't believe in Like, all right, listen, I
want to know exactly what I want to eat.
Speaker 11 (15:33):
I want to get in, I want to get out.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
I want to like what is the point of enjoying evening?
If you want to be in and out right?
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Is what I'm talking about. So apparently, Bridget, we're supposed
to go. We're supposed to go on the reviews, We're
supposed to read the menu. I'm supposed to try and
dig up any TikTok about the place he has ever
been made. I got to take three or four hours
before I go to the restaurant to make sure I'm
fully briefed. And then when I walk in there, I
better have the order memorized, and I better spit it out,
and I better not say anything.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
I better not ask anybody any questions.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
But lord knows, if I don't like it, I can
then go home and tear them a new one without
ever having spoken a word or asked a question.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
That's what I've learned this morning, Bridget. I want you
to have a great day.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
No way.
Speaker 11 (16:16):
Yeah, that's crazy, right, this is my life.
Speaker 9 (16:20):
Like, honestly, that's what happens when social media and Google
takes over the world.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
There's no such thing as just wandering into a restaurant
and enjoying.
Speaker 9 (16:28):
The experience, or maybe not enjoying the experience and having
a story. I mean, there's something that's to be sad
about old school dining and old school activities or you
don't have to like be an investigator over every little thing.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
That you nice.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Bridge, you better have your order memorized. You better have
it memorized, and you better not change your mind. And
if something else looks good, don't you dare ask if
it is?
Speaker 7 (16:53):
Nah?
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Uh not you a Bridget.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
No do ask servers. I do ask servers what's good
on the menu?
Speaker 9 (16:59):
Bought my deference.
Speaker 11 (17:00):
I'm gonna tell you.
Speaker 9 (17:02):
I was in the service industry for a very long
time as a server and a bartender, and I actually
enjoyed it when people ask me what I enjoyed to eat.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
That's interesting.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
How about that? Thank you, Bridget very nice, glad, Okay,
one at a time at a time.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
No, she's good. She's a good one.
Speaker 5 (17:20):
I don't think you could take your time like you
can sit down, relax, have wine and all that feel
like it.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
But just like, don't be bugging your surface guys.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Let them just you know, let them give me to
bug them on the people who are there to help me.
Don't ask them to help the biggest stories of the day.
Let's say two things that do that do annoy me.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
And we were talking about this out the air at
a restaurant, I will say this. If you ordered like
you guess, I'll have the chef salad, but I don't
want ham, turkey, chicken, cheese, egg, lettuce, ranch dressing.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Okay, well then this hard boiled eggs right right?
Speaker 2 (17:56):
So I think I said no. I think I don't
remember if I said no egg, but don't bring the eggy.
So now it's like, so what what do you want them?
So you want I think that's all the ingredients actually,
so there's nothing left. My mom does this all the time. Yes,
I would like, you know, i'd like a hamburger, uh,
you know, medium. I'd like the fries extra crispy. I'd
like the cheese, you know, churned this morning. I don't
(18:21):
want this kind of lettuce. I want that kind of
lettuce eventually, but this is I'm paying for it, so
I should have what I want. Like well then why,
well then why did we go here? If you're going
to change absolutely everything about it, then why are we
even here?
Speaker 7 (18:33):
Like?
Speaker 2 (18:34):
That's that's my thing is if what you just ordered
resembles doesn't resemble anything like what was on the menu,
then I think you're almost better off saying what you
want as opposed to what you ordered. Yes, I'll have
the fish tacos with chicken. It's like, well, okay, but
it's a totally different preparation. Oh yeah, well then I
want the chicken.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Ah damn.
Speaker 6 (18:56):
Now that that is a real thing, like in places
like raisin canes so hard, like you can't get fancy there.
And that bothers me because I want to say, give
me extra this, a no SALTI or this, like I
want to make some type of modification. But it's like
it's either chicken strips or not. Like you're gonna have
the strips or you're not. There's no other way to
mix this up. It's just like, yeah, look.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
If you don't want mayo, if you don't want like,
if there's a single ingredient that you don't like, I
don't like onion. A lot of people don't like onions.
I'll eat them, but a lot of people don't like onions.
A lot of people don't like mayo. A lot of people,
you know, they can't eat cheese or whatever. So it's like, hey,
or if it's an allergy, that's different. But then again,
if you have an allergy, then you know when you're
ordering that item. Maybe that's not the item for you know,
(19:37):
all I'm saying is just.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
Write down the rules because it's a lot going on.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Yeah, there was another one.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
I don't like, Oh oh, when people are like obsessed
with where the food was was sourced.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
That's a new one.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Now, look, if you if you're going if you have
a serious dietary restriction, right and you really are very
concerned about this out or the other thing, and I
think that's something where maybe you'd like jump online or
you know, like if you're worried about seed oils or
something like that, like health related. But it's like, it's
where is this cod sourced from? I don't know, the
(20:13):
back of a truck because you're in Chili's and it
was deep fried. Or my favorite of the people who
are so persnicketty about well I don't eat meat or
I don't do this, or I don't do that, and
then they'll they'll just snarf down if that's the word,
some potbellies chili that shits meat, meat on meat on meat,
just ground beef all in it.
Speaker 9 (20:31):
You know.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
My thing is like, but I thought we just did
a whole hour about how you can't eat meat, but
then you eat it, then you'll then you eat it
right in for it, like you know what I mean.
Like sometimes I just think, I think these kind of
activities can be attention seeking sometimes where it's like, oh,
I couldn't possibly eat that it has meat in it.
The next day you talk about going to McDonald's having
a big mac. Yeah, or you know, oh I don't,
I don't. I only eat some I only eat organic
(20:54):
this and that, and then you know, but but you'll
eat a taco bell a double deckord taco from the
white who came in you, Oh, well, that's certainly not organic.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
It's delicious and you should eat it. You should eat it, but.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
It's but why do we just have this whole debate
about how, oh my gosh, I my body can tell
the difference between you know, a farm raised and wild caught.
Who we all know people who they make a big
scene out of things, but then it turns out they
don't really they don't really have to do that. Mark
your wife does this, does the ingredients thing?
Speaker 11 (21:30):
Yeah, she does it every time we go on we
go out and she's like, no, I don't want no
crew times.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Oh that's it just the cr I mean if she
doesn't want crew times, I'm not offended by oh oh yeah,
I think, yeah, you cut out, so she'll order the
salad without any.
Speaker 11 (21:46):
Salad exactly and with fork.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Yeah right, we could have.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Saved ourself a lot of time if you just said
give me a bowl and a fork.
Speaker 11 (22:00):
Exactly. The album going this time the weekend and she
was like, I don't want those long green things. I
was like, oh my gosh, you mean peppers. And she's like,
I don't want the black things. And then I don't
want this and I don't want that, and I was
just like, oh my gosh, she's like, no cheese. I
was like, oh, I couldn't give a bowl with the lettuce?
Can I could get home?
Speaker 2 (22:20):
I mean I could have said we could have brought
you a head of lettuce and then said a lot
of money and time.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
We don't even have to be here, right, Yeah, thank you,
thank you. I have a good day. Man. Thought you
called Christina you do the sourcings thing.
Speaker 9 (22:38):
I you know what?
Speaker 7 (22:39):
So I want the type of person I would totally
admit like mao or pickles or cheese, because I don't
like like creamy, creamy things very much. But if I
go to a restaurant or something like that and they've
got fish on the menu. Like my husband and I
we were at a restaurant this weekend and I was like,
you know, where is the salmon source? Is it caught
(23:00):
or is it firmed? And she and she's like, let
me go check. And she went and checked and she
said it is wild caught, and it's like it has
a different flavor and taste and it's just it's it's
not the same. And I wouldn't have ordered it. I
wouldn't have ordered salmon if it happened. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Look, I get it's fitched fifty bucks on the menu
or whatever. So you want what you want.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
But I guess what I'm saying is were you at
you know, were you at Applebee's or were you at
you know La?
Speaker 1 (23:30):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Like I mean, because like let's let's let's meet our expectations,
Like let's meet the restaurant where they are, you know,
Like if I'm at Portillo's, I'm not you know, is
this angus beef?
Speaker 1 (23:39):
I don't know. I don't have no id. No it's not.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
It's off the back of a drug. It was frozen,
you know, So I mean, I don't want you to
not get what you want. I just think sometimes it's like, Okay,
here we go. Is this organic letnuce? But is it organic?
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Hydro planet?
Speaker 11 (23:53):
Was it?
Speaker 5 (23:53):
Was it?
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Where's the greenhouse located? What kind of soil do you
think was it? It's like, I don't know, I don't know,
I don't know. It's let it's lettuce, Steve.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Why are you here? Christina? I love you, have a
good day.
Speaker 10 (24:05):
I love you.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
But can I one thing?
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Of course you can.
Speaker 11 (24:08):
Awesome.
Speaker 7 (24:09):
So the thing is so like this was definitely like
it wasn't like a one like, it wasn't an Applebee's
or McDonald's or something like this. This was like a
local business on the outer banks. So you'd assume that, yes,
they have fresh seasons.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
I think that's fair though, Like here we are, we're
near water, Like did you get what I'm eating out
of that water or some other kind of water or
no water at all? Like was it grown in space
or something like? I think I think that's fair. That's
a fair question to ask. But again, like if we're
in you know, Kansas City, and you're asking me where
the where the tuna came from? And if it's been frozen,
and how many times? And and you know what what
(24:46):
was the fish's name?
Speaker 9 (24:47):
You know?
Speaker 1 (24:48):
And like was it nice?
Speaker 7 (24:49):
Was it was? You know?
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Did you talk to it nice before you killed it?
Speaker 9 (24:52):
You know?
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Like I don't know. These can any questions you want?
Speaker 3 (24:56):
You can ask everything.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Thank you, Christy to have a good day.
Speaker 7 (25:00):
Thanks forgetting I.
Speaker 6 (25:01):
Mean and now and now we all sound like pricks,
but no, no, no, I need to look up the menu.
You want to know where the fish came from? Get
on Google, you on TikTok uh. Yeah, I just are
you guys?
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Sound fun?
Speaker 1 (25:11):
I think you know, let's read the room, guys.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
A sixty nine year old truck driver identified as a
gun in Perry, he ended up stabbing former NFL quarterback
Mark Sanchez. He sued Sanchez and Fox Corporation in civil court.
I think they're both still in the hospitals, so they
didn't waste any time in this. In the lawsuit, he
claims that Sanchez instigated an altercation while appearing intoxicated. He
says he suffered significant injuries to his head, jawn, neck,
(25:34):
and was left permanently disfigured. He's seeking compensatory impunitive damages,
money for what he lost, and extra to penalize Sanchez,
plus legal costs. And I know he's I mentioned this,
He's doing Sanchez himself, and Fox I did mention that.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Travelers across the US are feeling the effects of the
government shutdown as a shortage of air traffic controllers causes
delays at major airports. Controllers are considered to say workers,
so they have to work during the shutdown, but they're
not being paid. Consequently, more controllers are calling out sick.
One of the most severe disruptions happened yesterday at California's
Burbank Airport, where the control tower was shut down completely
(26:12):
in the middle of the day, resulting in hours long delays.
The towers at Burbank, Phoenix, and Denver all had staffing triggers,
which were reported in the public FAA Operations plan on
the facilities that handle air traffic around airports in Newark,
New Jersey, Jacksonville, Florida, Chicago, and DC. Also Indianapolis were
also short staff. So think about that the controllers are
(26:36):
many of them are working still and yet they're not
being paid or don't know when they're going to get
paid until the shutdown's over, so and these guys are
the backbone of all the business and personal travel that
you're doing.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
So we're grateful to all of them.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
The oldest operating casino in Las Vegas, the El Cortez
Hotel and Casino, has launched a Halloween season contest. They're
going to pay five grand to unlucky person willing to
spend a weekend exploring its most haunted areas.
Speaker 8 (27:04):
Oh my goodness, I was just there. I didn't realize
it was so haunted at the El Cortes Old Vegas
five thousand dollars. The winner will use ghost hunting tools
like EMF meters and thermal sensors to investigate reported paranormal
activity in places like the casino floor and creepy hallways.
The contest runs through October, with the ghost hunt scheduled
for early December. Applicants must document evidence of their findings,
(27:28):
and rumors even suggest the basement holds the remains of
former employees, adding to the eerie atmosphere.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Wow, would you do this? Do you mess with this stuff?
Speaker 7 (27:36):
Like?
Speaker 2 (27:36):
There's the Congress Hotel in Chicago on Michigan Avenue, which
is notoriously haunted, and I guess you can stay in
rooms where people have been killed or ghosts still linger
or whatever. I mean, are we messing with this stuff?
I think a lot of it is probably meant. I mean,
I'm probably all mental. We're being real, Like I don't
know that ghosts are like really like you know, I
(27:57):
poking you when you sleep, and like, hey, you know,
if I'm a ghost, I'm busy. Like I'm a ghost now,
like I can float around and I can look at
way more exciting stuff than you sleep in your hairnet
or whatever. Like I could be doing all kinds of
cool stuff. I'm dead, So why am I messing with you?
Speaker 9 (28:11):
You know?
Speaker 1 (28:12):
But would you do it?
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Like if I said, hey, I'll give you, you know,
X amount of dollars to stay in a hotel room
where somebody was murdered for the night, would you do it?
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Well, I'm not like sleeping there. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
We toured an old like mental health hospital in northern
Michigan and there were absolutely like a door slammed behind me.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
I felt stuff. My grandpa saw someone waving in a
window and there was no one there, like it's real.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
I still contend though, that if I tell you this
place is really haunted and it's the middle of the night,
and it's very scary. It's haunted. Your your your brain
is your condition. Now you're going to walk in and
you're going to every any anything that would if I
didn't tell you that, and any creek or you know whatever.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
Well, I grew up in a house that was haunted,
and no one told me that, Like until the ghost
mess with me.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
It shows bread you'd never go to growing up with
the ghost. They're real to share our space.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Well I don't. I don't know that. I haven't grown
up with a ghosts. I just know one's messed with me. No, No,
I haven't seen it. I haven't seen the ghost I
have Okay, it's creepy, okay.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
And there's no possibility that there's no possibility that you
made that up in your head.
Speaker 9 (29:17):
No I was a child.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
No possibility that you that you just sort of created that.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
My mom is just like me, and when we believe,
we stick together.
Speaker 5 (29:26):
She's had priests in my house, in my new house,
every house, every we went like always blessing it because
I we don't mess with that, because I do.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Believe in spirits and reincarnation. There's a lot of things
I believe in, but I don't. I don't necessarily think
that they're coming back to mess with us.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
I don't. That doesn't make any sense to me. Like
if I die, I'm in heaven. Now I don't got
time for you.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
I don't think happy ghosts are messing with us.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
But I think if something tragic happened, sometimes, well I
would hope they're in.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
A better place than if something tragic happens.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
But anyway, young people, teams, and folks in their twenties
are are falling in love with old tech again.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
So now.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Young people they want flip phones, digital cameras like physical
cameras and CDs. Why Because many feel overwhelmed by smartphones
in constant screen time. They want simple devices that don't
imend their attention. Retro or dumb devices often come with
just the basics calls, text, maybe a camera, no NonStop
aps to social medium. So it's not a nostalgic trip necessarily,
(30:23):
it's a reaction to feeling controlled by tech, trying to
take back agency over attention and focus. I would love
to try that to run here. I'm not even sure
if my brain could allow it anymore. To the final
point there about how we're all being controlled by tech
and the expectations, because if I went to the people
here and say, hey, guys, guess what. I'm getting a
flip phone and there's no email on that thing, so sorry.
(30:43):
But if you email me and ask me for something
at three pm, sorry, not gonna be able to get
to it. I don't have it on my phone anymore.
Oh and by the way, if you text me, I
probably won't respond because I may not get it. But
it'll also take me four hours to write a sentence
because I have to push the same button three times
to get the letter that I want. Oh sorry, guys.
You know, if you hit me between business hours, I'll
be happy to get to it. But I'm overwhelmed by tech,
(31:05):
so I'm not going to do any of that. How
would that go over?
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Really?
Speaker 2 (31:09):
I guess you people getting fired for this because the
expectation is that you're reachable everywhere and you can do
anything anywhere you go. Oh, you have the Internet, you
have an app, you have an iPad, you have a laptop,
so I can you know, Oh you can handle that
right now, can't you.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (31:25):
My favorite of the people who need stuff right now
I had this happen last weekend. There's a person who's
notorious for constantly needing what they need right this second,
no matter.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
When it is.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
And then I asked a question and it was respectfully,
you can contact me during business hours?
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Oh can I?
Speaker 8 (31:41):
WHOA?
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Oh can I?
Speaker 11 (31:44):
Well?
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Then some can you.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
And scene and also this is the last story is
for you. I have two, I have two, and then
we're moving on from headlines.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
This is for you.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Kikip TikTok may play a role in why some women
are sexually attracted to criminals.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Huh yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Researchers analyzed dozens of TikTok videos and comments that romanticized offenders,
clips where users joked, flirted, or said they could fix criminals.
They found recurring themes like glorifying their looks, imagining themselves
as victims, or confusing actors who play criminals with the
real thing. They then serve a ninety five young women
who use TikTok and those who actively liked or watched
(32:23):
this kind of content score to hire on a new scale,
which is a term for attraction to criminals.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
Hybrisk to philia. I hope.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
I said that right personality traits like manipulativeness and lack
of remorse were also linked to this attraction. The study
is small, but suggests that TikTok doesn't just reflect these fantasies,
it may help fuel them. Oh wow, there's a whole
culture on the internet about this, about inmates that have
dating profiles on a website. You can send them money,
you can connect with them. Would you ever have any
(32:56):
interest in a criminal a convict? No, not currently, but
criminals need love to Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Yeah. Do you ever?
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Are you on that side of TikTok where you see
videos made by people in prison?
Speaker 9 (33:07):
No?
Speaker 1 (33:07):
I were jail.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
What's before?
Speaker 1 (33:08):
I was there?
Speaker 3 (33:09):
And I was very curious on how they got the devices?
Speaker 1 (33:11):
And then you much better WiFi than I do. How's
that possible?
Speaker 7 (33:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Try?
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Someone is lighting? Where'd you get the lighting?
Speaker 11 (33:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (33:17):
You get a BATCHI grills Sometimes I feel, Yeah, it's
very wild in there.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
It's like, man, you got a full setup in there?
Speaker 11 (33:24):
Right?
Speaker 1 (33:24):
They stream a lot. Where where'd you get the little
pell mic from?
Speaker 11 (33:28):
Like?
Speaker 1 (33:28):
What's going on?
Speaker 2 (33:29):
And ARB's because you know, I love a food story.
Arby's has rolled out what it says is the first
of its kind product. It's steak nuggets.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
I'm good. Does this hit the same way a chicken
nugget does?
Speaker 2 (33:39):
In a news release, the company described the offering as
a premium protein product and a whole new way to nugget.
The nuggets, which were offered It's Like locations earlier this year,
will be available across the country for a limited time
starting Monday. ARB says the juicy, handcut, bite sized pieces
of steak will be offered in servings of five or
nine pieces with hickory barbecue sauce for dipping sandwiches or
(34:00):
on top of mac and cheese in the steak nugget bowl.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
Now, I know you don't need meat.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
I know you don't eat cows, Kaitlin, But like you know,
they're trying to develop a new category here. So we're
all we all have this look on our face like eh,
but is it because we don't want it or because
it's just new, it's a new concept, Like, well, we've
never tried that before, never tried to steak nugget before.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
You know, if you guys want to eat a steak nugget,
I'm happy for you.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
I just I didn't hit the same way for me,
because you know, the chicken nuggets have the breading on it.
I don't think these are bread and I think these
are just chunks of meat, so I think you'd have
to have a fork. So the finger food, you know,
component is lost. Yeah, no, not for your It's national
taco day to day, a national bathtub day today.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
The entertainer report on the taco got me more than
bathtub but Caln's entertainer reports on The Fresh Show.
Speaker 4 (34:54):
Robin Williams daughter Zelda is slamming people for using AI
to bring her dad back in videos. She called the
clips gross, said they disrespect who he really was. Even worse,
Zelda says that fans keep sending her these AI videos
of her late dad, which is understandably very upsetting. She
compared the fake videos to overprocessed hot dogs, something that
(35:15):
looks like him but just isn't real. She's spoken out
before about how wrong it is to digitally recreate actors
who can't give permission, including her dad, and I one
hundred percent agree. Just days after she said their divorce
was the best thing that ever happened to her, j
Loo and Ben Affleck reunited at the Kiss of the
Spider Woman premiere in New York, even though they are
(35:36):
now divorced. Ben is actually one of the movies producers
executive producers, so they both kind of had to be there.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
But on the red carpet they did greet each other
very warmly.
Speaker 4 (35:46):
They looked happy to see each other, and Jlo thanked Ben,
saying the movie wouldn't have been made without him.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
He praised her performance, calling it the role she was
born to play.
Speaker 4 (35:55):
So that is some good exes, if I had to say,
especially after she said that speaking of divorce just.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
Days after their actors By the way, remember that fair.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
Fair.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
These are professional performers, fair, but with a bunch of
cameras everywhere. So I think you know a lot of people.
I think they're more well suited to pull this off
in most people.
Speaker 7 (36:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
Maybe.
Speaker 4 (36:18):
Speaking of divorce, Just days after filing from Keith Urban
after nineteen years of marriage, Nicole Kidman announced a major
new project, Kiki, you better make sure you watch this one.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
We got a support so she will start in.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
And executive produce Discretion in eight episode, a twenty four
legal thriller for Paramount Plus.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
So somebody's got to give me their login.
Speaker 4 (36:37):
Co starring Al Fannings, the show follows a young legal
associate played by El who uncovers her firm's dark secrets
and clashes with her mentor, a.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
Powerful partner played by Nicole.
Speaker 4 (36:48):
The film being begins next year, but as you know,
she filed on September thirtieth in Nashville, where they lived
with their two daughters. Word is she did not want
the split, felt very betrayed, having tried to save the
marriage over the summer. There is if you are looking
for another way to support her now well before this
comes out, The Undoing on HBO.
