human level that she was a good person and she
seemed competent.

Okay, Well, guys, it's Wildcard weekend in the NFL. We
already got Jason's pick for the the game that was
already played and he was wrong. And then he's got
Texas tonight, which I don't think. Well, it's probably divided.
You've got people around here that hate Ohio State. You've
got Ohio state people, so oh yeah, Oh that's all

(03:29):
over the that's all over the world. That's Republican and
Democrats too. That's chocolate and vanilla, I mean, or vanilla

They literally like patented the word the Oh my god,

Speaker 1 (04:21):
Also, though we have many an NFL game for wild
Card weekend, so it's now time for the pick. So
here's what I want to do. Though, Jason will make
a pick, and then Bella, who knows nothing about sports,
will make a pick. Jason knows everything about sports. Ella
knows nothing about sports. And then let's see. Now you
got to keep tracking, as Bello so that we remember
who we picked. Okay, not that many games though this

I don't This is not a flex or whatever, and
I'm not I'm not asking to, but I don't. I
don't know if I've ever filled that or made a
resume really because in radio, like I don't know, maybe
now you do, like for producer jobs or whatever, but
like for on air, they don't give a tap if
what you've done, I do you sound good on the tape? Okay?

Speaker 2 (05:48):

conclusion that she was Yeah, I got hammered.

And I remember you and your boyfriend at the time
just sitting there kind of looking at me like is

Speaker 5 (06:13):
I was a little scared because I mean I had
only had one other like interview for a radio job
before and that was where I came from.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
So I was like, can imagine me like across the
table at a conference, so tell me about your.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
Well, now I can.

Speaker 5 (06:25):
And then when I showed up here to do the
actual interview, you were like, what are you wearing? This
is not you, because I was like in corporate clothes,
you know, And I was like, a bluer, it's not
Thank God, I'll wear my pajamas tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
That was me when I auditioned, when I interviewed for
my first big, big radio job in Austin, Texas to
be that the night the Night personality on the number
one hit music station. And I show up to the
interview in a button down and khakis and like loafers,
and the guy actually said something to me. He was like,
is this how you? I don't think you can do this? Anymore.
I don't think you could do it then. But he

(06:56):
was like, hey, just is that how you normally dress? Like,
is this how you dress every day? I'm like, no, sir,
this is a job interviews like it's at a radio station. Though, like, sir,
you have a picture. He wanted to make sure that
that wasn't like you know, and I know he didn't
know it, but then I would and put a cool
Abercrombie shirt on together job. It was amazing. The Steelers
and the Ravens.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
Okay, hold on here, hold on, Oh this is hard.
We're gonna go the Ravens.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
H Allen, who I won't repeat the blasphemous things you
said about Kelsey. You will, I'm not gonna say it again,
but but you certainly will be the Bills. Yes, wow, Okay,
the Packers of green Bay and the Eagles.

Speaker 2 (07:59):
Of Eagles of come on.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
In the National Football Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania Eagles. Yeah, there's
no doubt about it.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
Tint it out about it.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
State penn State also not playing in the game. But
so which one. Let me come on the Eagles and
for you, so I know, just wait about to get canceled.
I'm going to kick the Eagles. But I think this
is a closer game than we think, all right. The Commanders,
who I know, you don't know, you don't know her, No,
we don't know her. And the Buccaneers of Tampa Bay.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
You like them, you like Baker Mayfield, Baker, Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay,
Baker wins.

Speaker 1 (08:41):
Yeah, okay, So the Buccaneers.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
I'm going to go Tampa because I think the Commanders
are too young. And I know you were thinking the
same thing. Young team. Oh yeah, young team not ready
yet a couple more years. They don't even have like
a home city. I don't even know where they are.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
Washington, in the vikings of ooh, Minnesota, that's right, Liz,

right now. So we're gonna go with the Rams. And
Sean McVay, oh my god, and.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
That game's being played in Arizona. By the way, those
are the fires. Yeah, and Bellah Vikings. Okay, oh.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
Yeah, I know.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
Well there you have it. We'll see how everybody does.
There's a dude a Notre Dame called Christian Gray called
one of my British albums.

Speaker 5 (09:31):
He's called Christian Christian today.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
Wow, I'm just not learning that. I'm not, you know,
really following Notre Dame this ever, but hey, good for them.
Christian Gray and Notre Dame won a spot in the
national title game after a a thrill a minute is
what they're calling him. Twenty seven twenty four victory over
Penn State on Thursday in the Orange Bowl. The Cotton
bowls today and that is Ohio State and Texas and

(09:58):
I'll be a good game. And as I mentioned, the
Rams playoff game is moving to Arizona due to the wildfires.
So and that's it. Thank you, Bellahammaine, very nice job.
Ten people have passed away, more than nine thousand structures
have been damaged or destroyed. At least one hundred and
thirty thousand residents or under evacuation orders in LA. Experts
say that LA is also not out of danger yet
and that these fires have the potential to be the

(10:20):
costliest wildfire disaster in American history. Firefighters continue to battle
multiple major wildfires. Much of LA remains a LA County
that is remains under a red flag warning through tonight.
Two hundred thousand residents under mandatory evacuation. Santa Ana wins
or for forecast to pick up speed today, bringing a
higher risk of fires spreading and new fires breaking out.

(10:42):
There was a new fire yesterday in Calabasas, which is
outside of Los Angeles. LA Police have arrested a possible
arson suspects someone trying to start yet another fight or
a fire rather and ACU Weather is now estimating the
total damage from the LA fires could reach one hundred
and fifty billion dollars. Would it be? They were showing

(11:03):
him CNN yesterday. Just like the highway that runs down
the coast, and normally it's like highway houses blocking the
beach because the people rich people build their houses there
or anybody I guess who can afford it. And now
you can literally see from the road to the water
because everything in between it's burned down. It's crazy, It's

(11:24):
really crazy. So yeah, the Biden administration announced yesterday that
the federal government will cover one hundred percent of the
cost of hazardous materials removal, temporary shelters, first responder salaries,
and other measures to protect life. The funding will cover
the cost for one hundred and eighty days. All right,
moving along, geeking, what's that boom? I know you're involved

(11:45):
with this, so I'm telling you something that you know.
But the People's Bid to buy TikTok made an offer
to Bite Dance. So that's the group with Shark Tank,
famous Kevin O'Leary. They made a formal offer yesterday to
buy the social media platform from the China based parent
company by Dance. That comes a day before the Supreme
Court set to hear arguments over upholding a law that
would ban TikTok in the US in just over a week.

(12:08):
If it's not sold by Dance has set on multiple
occages it's not for sale, yep. And I guess a
lot of that has to do. I was talking to
somebody the fact that TikTok in the United States is like,
that's just one piece of their business. People forget that
it's a worldwide thing. So like for them to sell
the company for just the United states to actually not
be smart in their financial interest, so they're probably not
going to do it. How are you feeling? We are

(12:30):
just days away, yeah, from the end of TikTok as
we know it.

Speaker 2 (12:34):
Yeah yeah.

Speaker 6 (12:35):
I had to sit with this last night, you know,
and it's it's really bothering me.

Speaker 1 (12:40):
We'll get it off your chest. I mean, this is
a safe place, okay.

Speaker 6 (12:42):
Yeah, you know, it's so many things happening in the world.
I don't know why they want to take TikTok from us,
but you know I am prepared to go wherever.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
Yeah, it's actually I would like to pay.

Speaker 6 (12:54):
My respects to TikTok Lashan Davis.

Speaker 1 (12:59):
Girl.

Speaker 6 (12:59):
You were amazing. You know, you got me through the panoramic.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
Are we going to do it? Each day? We're gonna
honor one TikTok star who's now in destitute.

Speaker 6 (13:09):
He taught me how to cook, You taught me how
to get a man. You taught me how to put
my wig on. And I'm truly gonna miss you.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
Because because real star doesn't just doesn't have the same.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
I don't want it.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
I don't want to it doesn't What did I just say?
What does that mean?

Speaker 2 (13:31):
And British. Yeah, something in tongues.

Speaker 6 (13:34):
Yeah, okay, nore you talking about it?

Speaker 2 (13:41):
Because how sad? Like?

Speaker 3 (13:42):
What am I gonna do with my life? We're not
gonna be all right, what's gonna be.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
My Yeah, I get involved something productive.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
We're asking for you to do this. We're asking for
your help in our time of need.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
We need this.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
Oh boy, all right? You know what you guys know
my theory about this, and I know I'm right what
you inauguration is in a couple of days. Is next
week right Tuesday? Not till the twenty.

Speaker 6 (14:06):
Yeah, yeah, I have a fil after there's going to.

Speaker 1 (14:10):
Be maybe like I can even see a day where
it actually does go away, and then the next day
he brings it back.

Speaker 5 (14:15):
Our new president brings it back so many men.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
You know, I'm serious. There's no way, there's no way
he doesn't have a fix of this. To be mister popularity.
I feel like this is his way of, like, you know,
buying over a bunch of young people that I saved
it for. You. Look, you know, homeboy couldn't get this done.
I did it. There's already I bet you there's already
a solution.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
Right after Canada becomes the fifty first state like he wants.

Speaker 5 (14:41):
He said, there's a lot of people in Canada that
want to be the fifty first dates so well, and.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
I don't agree with you on much this actually excuse me,
excuse we agree, hey, judge, Kiki, we agree on a
lot of things. I was going to say, we agree
on more than you. Thank you, thank you for a
for your honesty. I appreciate that this is also for you, Giki.
Spending more time on social media is significantly linked to

(15:07):
feeling more irritable. According to a new study, people who
like to use social media most of the day are
more irritable. As the headline, the strongest link between social
media use and irritability was found on frequent users of TikTok,
followed by X. Experts recommend moderating social media used to
avoid exacerbating irritability and negative effects on mental health and relationships.

Speaker 6 (15:30):
You guys don't know you know irribility until I until
I don't until I don't have TikTok Okay.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
Caryl, Yeah, you did not want to talk to me yesterday.

Speaker 6 (15:40):
Well that was because I was learning a whole new
system and Jason's like, let's do a TikTok.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
I'm like, sir, no, I'm not even talking about that.
When I called you, You're You're like, what's up? I'm no,
I'm still there in the system. So sorry question.

Speaker 6 (15:56):
But I would always, I would always prefer to be
on social media at all times.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
How much time a day that all jokes aside, how
many hours a day would you say, let's say you're
awake seventeen hours a day, how many of those would
you say you're on social media? And that can include
the time that you're on it for work. Wh I'll
let you have them. Eighteen eighteen of seventeen. Okay, it
makes a lot of sense. All right, good, how about it? Now?
This is crazy. This I've never heard of it. I

(16:22):
don't get And maybe somebody else can explain this one
to me, because this is another one I just don't understand.
A new survey has revealed in What's Trending Today that
one third of Gen Z adults have participated in career catfishing,
which sees them accept new jobs and then intentionally fail
to show up for the first day of work. Researchers
found the thirty four percent of twenty somethings skip day

(16:44):
one of work without communicating with their new employer as
a demonstration of autonomy. Gen zs are apparently catfishing jobs
to prove that they, rather than their employers, have all
the power. But then again, if you don't show up
for work, you don't get paid, and the person with
the money has the power, right right. Yeah, But have
you guys.

Speaker 6 (17:01):
Ever been just bored or maybe unemployed for a little bit,
or you really hate your job and you just start
applying for stuff like I've seen people like, you know, like,
I gotta slow down. I got an interview to be
a pastor on tuesday. You know what I'm saying, just
because you were, No, people are doing it. I've been
applying for years, so they don't ever call. I don't
know why.

Speaker 1 (17:19):
People do that.

Speaker 6 (17:20):
They apply for jobs they have no business applying for
just to see it.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
They'll get a call back.

Speaker 1 (17:24):
Okay, But that's not saying that's not interviewing for it
and accepting it and then not showing up.

Speaker 6 (17:28):
Well then you like you realize it, Like I actually
am not an engineer, bro like, and I got a
report on Monday to be an engineer.

Speaker 1 (17:34):
You know, But this has nothing to do with qualific qualifications.
This is This is people saying I control you because
I'm I take your job and not show up. But
I don't get the I don't get what you get
from that. What's gonna happen is people are gonna start
to figure out they're gonna learn about you, like you're
going to develop a bad reputation. If you're just applying
for jobs, accepting them and not showing up. At what
point does that catch up to you?

Speaker 2 (17:52):
It probably AI doing it.

Speaker 1 (17:54):
I don't know. I don't got That doesn't make any
sense to me. And we have the annual Lake Superior
State University list of band words. I'm happy to say
that a number of these I've never used. And there's
even one I don't even know what the hell it means.
Skib med skid, don't know what it means, gibby Is

(18:14):
that what it is? I don't know what it is?
Thank god I've never said it. Cringe he's on the list.
Game changer era dropped, I y K, y k if
you know you know band? Sorry not sorry, one hundred
percent utilize and period Oh wait, I look period poop
right exactly. I like that we're not getting rid of

(18:35):
that banned, and also Uber has announced a new promotion
which is specifically for teens. It will offer up to
six free rides if you fail your driver's test and
can prove it to them. They say it's their way
of helping out the kids, giving them a chance to
retake the test. It could also be a sneaky way
of well introducing them to the rideshare world. You have

(18:56):
to have a new Ubertine account. If you have an
existing account, you can't to it. But obviously it's a promotion,
but yes, if you fail your driver's test, six free
rides on Uber. It's National house Plants Appreciation Day, National
Oyster's Rockefeller Day, Save the Eagles Day, which is every
day around here, and it's National cut your Energy Costs
Day today as well. The entertainment report Kaylin's got that
next in two minutes. Blogs, if we have time waiting

(19:18):
by the phone is new? Why did somebody get ghosted?
All coming up? It's the Friday French in our diary.
Reason except we set them aloud. We call them blogs kiking, Yes,
take it away, dear blog.

Speaker 6 (19:27):
So I saw this post on social media and it
just struck me really in my heart. Why do grandparents
like their grandchildren more than they.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
Like their own children?

Speaker 6 (19:39):
I think we need to discuss this, okay, because my family,
the grand In my family, the grandkids reign supreme. There
is you know what I'm saying, And it's like the
grandparent that I'm seeing is like, where was this person
when I was a when you were raising me?

Speaker 1 (19:56):
You know, Like, well, I think it isn't it, because
like they have a responsibility to discipline you and sort
of make sure that you are, you know, are equipped
to go out into the world and be successful. But
then that's your job if you're the parents and not
the grandparent. All they have to do is just be
a hero because they don't really have any responsibility necessarily. Yeah,
but don't do you ever?

Speaker 6 (20:17):
Sometimes just step back and look at your mom with polly,
like the level of patience, the level of you can
have literally whatever you want, Like for me, you know,
my mom, my parent. I lost my parents young when
my sister raised me. We're twenty years apart. But she
never had McDonald's money. You know what I'm saying When
I want a McDonald because we got food at home, yes,

(20:37):
and now the grandkids they order indoor dash and Chick
fil A and just doing whatever. And I'm just looking.
I'm just sitting back watching like wow, my net Like
one of her grandkids's birthday is coming up. She's like
planning a cruise, like what yes, And I'm just like
it's really wowd Like we flew to New York as
a family. I want a Gracie Award. She came to

(20:57):
support me there, but then she was like, I gotta
go because my grandson wants to go to the Statue
of Liberty. She was like, so this was cute, but
I gotta go a nice job on that national award.
But it's like the grand It's just a whole new
person that I've never seen.

Speaker 2 (21:12):
I'm like, you know, I love this for the grand keys.

Speaker 1 (21:15):
Yeah. Like when I was growing up, my mom wouldn't
really give us money for I mean, she'd give us
many of her video games, but like not that, not
like the Kitchie stuff in the arcade, like the little
arm and the you know whatever, like the ticket thing,
Like she's like, that's a rip off. You know, I'm
not going to pay twenty bucks to get you a
thing that you cost you know, ten cents. Then we
go to the bowling Alley over Christmas, and Polly wants

(21:36):
to do the thing, and my mom is just pouring twenties.
I mean just twenties are coming out of everywhere. I mean,
does she wind up like a little stuffed animal that
was like three inches tall for eighty seven dollars? And
my mom she's like whatever you want, you know, And
I'm watching the two of them, and Polly's just manipulating
the hell out of this woman, and my mom just
wants to make her happy. Because again, I feel like
then it's you know, same with uncles and as that's true,

(21:59):
you know, you know that very well. It's like, hey,
you know, what do you want? You want? Oh, your
mom won't buy you cookies or whatever. Here have them
and then you give them back and then you go
about your life with gluttony. And they got to worry
about like shaping the future of the kid.

Speaker 2 (22:12):
Yes, yes, it's very wild.

Speaker 6 (22:14):
And you know, she was texting us the other day
just like you know, oh, you know, Shawn's birthday is
coming up and he was thinking about getting this, and
I'm like, you would never ever entertain the idea of
us getting something like that. What are we talking about?
It's just they are totally different people.

Speaker 1 (22:29):
What this is a great quote. Someone just texted height
four to seven, So we just texted this quote in quotations.
So I'm guessing it's not theirs. But if you spoil
your kid, you'll be raising your grandkids. If you raise
your kids, you get to spoil your grandkids. Huh. Like
if you if you if you coddle your own kids,
then you're doing them a disservice and then they won't be

(22:51):
potentially that successful in life, and then you wind up
raising their kids. But if you actually raise your kids
and are tough on them and whatever shape them, then
you know, hopefully they'll be successful. You'll have a good
relationship with them, and then you'll get to hang out
with your grandkids because they're responsible people who do the
hard work, so that you can then take them and
buy an ice cream.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
And it's another level if you're the first grandkid.

Speaker 6 (23:10):
Oh yeah, y'all, are the you a queen at a home?
You can't tell me nothing. Yeah, make him a little jealous.
I didn't really have a grandparent like grandparents like that,
because my grandparents were so old by the time I
came along, So maybe I just need a grandma, you do,
I kind of.

Speaker 5 (23:30):
Anyone listening that will be our grandma.

Speaker 1 (23:32):
I missed my grandparents every day. They were the absolute best. Yes, ever, no,
but every single day. I think about them every single day.
But yeah, I think that was the But they were involved,
they were stern with me at times when they had
to be there was I can maybe that was what
I was thinking of yesterday. There were fewer than five

(23:53):
times that I can remember my grandfather using the I'm
so disappointed in you line, Like he saved that one up.
He saved it on my on my my mom and
her sisters too, Like he busted that one out once
a decade. And if you got that one, it would
absolutely take you to your knees, like it would like
disappointing him and him telling you that was the absolute
worst thing. But the rest of the time, it was

(24:13):
a total free for all. Yeah, man, But they loved me. Well,
I didn't love me more than my sister. But I
with my grandmother, I could do with Nana, I could
do nothing wrong.

Speaker 6 (24:22):
See, and you knew that, you knew that your whole life,
and I know you used that.

Speaker 1 (24:27):
Well. I just remind her of it all the time.

Speaker 5 (24:29):
Of course, nana's are harder on granddaughters as well.

Speaker 1 (24:32):
Though that's a thing.

Speaker 2 (24:33):
It's like a generational thing.

Speaker 1 (24:34):
Yeah, yeah, well yeah, because I think I think the
expectations were especially in this generation, or maybe the previous generation,
if you want to call it that. Yeah, Like you know,
women who were raised in the thirties and forties, you know,
have a different expectation. Then I feel like my mom
is a grandmother will be very different. On of course,
I think she'll still maintain My mom's still old school
in some ways, but I also think like this generation

(24:57):
of grandparents will be different because I I think we're
being raised different as far as like fairness and equality,
and so think about that true, because somebody that stuff,
while it's wrong, is hard to deprogram. I think, Hey, Laura, Hi,
Hi your grandmam for congratulations.

Speaker 4 (25:14):
Thank you that Oh my gosh, Kiki. First off, I
can tell you I loved loved my boys. I mean
I still love my boys, but the love that you
have for grandkids, my heart bursts every time they call
me Gaga and every time they say every time they
say Gaga, I mean literally I could feel my heart bursting.

Speaker 2 (25:34):
Out of my chest. Shut up.

Speaker 1 (25:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (25:40):
No, they just start like they're so it's amazing, Like
I don't have to discipline them. I don't have to
they do something wrong and I find myself laughing, where
if I was the mom, I would be upset about it.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
So my son gets mad at me and he's like, Mom, stop.

Speaker 4 (25:54):
Laughing, and I'm like, I can't help it.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
They're so damn cute. I'm so cute they do it.
But not when you're kids.

Speaker 4 (26:03):
Exactly because you know what I have them. Please, please, Hey,
I've met all you guys. I've met all you guys.
You guys are fantastic.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
I was at the Cubs game and well, thank you.

Speaker 4 (26:16):
You guys are wonderful.

Speaker 1 (26:18):
Laura.

Speaker 2 (26:18):
We appreciate you every morning.

Speaker 1 (26:19):
Thank you so much. We appreciate you. And have a
good day you too. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
Some candies from your purse, yes, please?

Speaker 1 (26:30):
Pepa. Yeah. And I don't know if it's the same
Withay with boys. And you have a lot of nephews,
all nephews. But when Polly, who's about four, when she
starts with Bobby and whatever she says next is whatever.
If it's Bubby, can I have one gazillion dollars of
your money, and then can you live in like poverty? Yes, yes, Polly, Yes,
the answer is yes. I'm happy to hey Carlos, Yes, sir,

(26:53):
hey soon to be grandfather. Congratulations, thank you, thank you,
thank you. And what are your observations?

Speaker 7 (27:00):
So my observation is one, So I you know, I'm
a second time father, first and foremost, I remarried and
had a second set of kids, so you know, I
get I get the same kind of concept from my
older sons to my twins now, you know, like I
treat them differently whatever, And it's the same thing with like,
you know, the thing I can talk about grandparents is
when I asked, like my mother, like you know, hey man,
you know the same questions, like why why do you

(27:21):
treat them differently?

Speaker 8 (27:21):
You know, they you know, you go to every game,
they play, every you know, every event where you're at,
like you never you know, I ended up playing college
well at one point, and like you want to see
me played once, you know, and it's like, you know,
like what the hell? So you know what they tell me.
The difference is this is that they see they see
me in them so much that it's almost like their
second goal around you know, like they you know, like

(27:43):
it's like they get a second chance of you know,
seeing you know, raising me in a sense and kind
of kind of wrong the rights basically. So that's that's
the theory I have heard. And the same thing with
my I I kind of do the same thing with
my kids, you know. I again, my son is twenty
seven and I have ten year old twins.

Speaker 1 (28:00):
So you know, it's.

Speaker 8 (28:01):
It's a huge difference, right, so, you know, and I
even ask them what should I do different now than
I did it with.

Speaker 1 (28:06):
You guys, and then they, you know, they tell me.

Speaker 8 (28:08):
And so I feel that's that that theory is pretty
accurate when they say it's like your second goal.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
Around you know, well, I think the other thing and
maybe you can relate to this car was a little bit.
But like when my mom was raising us, or when
most parents are raising their kids, they're working, you know,
maybe there's not a lot of money, you know, and
and and things are hard, and so it takes a
lot more time and energy to do things. And then
I think as we get older and then we have
a little bit of expendable income, kids are out of
the house, we're not paying free you know, our kids

(28:35):
to eat or and go to college, or maybe we're
retired and we're on a fixed income and now we
have the time and the money and we don't have
as much to do. So it's like my mom, you know,
I just think she's like a different She has a
whole different outlook on things now than she did that
for sure, Yeah, for sure. Thank you, Carlos, have a
good day. Thank you for listening. Congrats. That's really exciting too.

(28:56):
I don't know, it's going to be a that's going
to be a very surreal thing when your kid gives
you a kid.

Speaker 5 (29:01):
Oh yeah, and I think I mentioned this to you
guys before, but there's scientific research that proves when grandma's
are expecting a grandchild they get the same chemicals as
if they are having a baby. So yeah, that like
makes me want to cry. But that is scientifically proven,
so I think there is something to it.

Speaker 1 (29:19):
It's pretty clear my mom thinks that PAULI and mab
or hers I should be waiting accordingly. But yeah, waiting
for the phone. It's new and next tempt here at
our metro boomin In's two minutes. It's the French show
