Speaker 1 (00:00):
I walked home and I saw they have like a
like a supercenter for the real ID, and there's just
lie wrapped around the building, probably three hundred people people
freaking out mass hysteria. I won't be able to leave
my house if I don't have a real idea, which
is not true, because if you have a passport, you'd
be okay, but you do have to have one of
these things, which means you're eventually going to have to
go and get one. But they asked a bunch of people.

(00:22):
Half of Americans, fifty three percent of Americans said that
they would endure the long lines in paperwork for their
loved ones at the DMV to get a real ID
for them. Half of Americans would do that for someone
else if they could. Would any of you actually wait
in line for someone else's real ID.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
I'm not even doing it for myself.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
Yeah, I knew the answer.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
Yeah for you probably. Yeah, So they had a good
reason why they couldn't do it.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
I don't think you have to have a good reason.
I think there's fifty three percent of people would endure
the long lines in paperwork for their loved ones for
the real ID.

Speaker 3 (00:56):
What no, right?

Speaker 1 (00:58):
I mean woke up this morning. I know you don't
have a You never got one, so I know. And
he said, hey, honey, I need a real ID. He
does too, Yeah, okay, and so and so you can
only get one. So it's for him or for you.
The only hell you have one per per session, oh okay,
per line waiting session. No, he's gonna go and get
his own, and he's gonna tell me how that line

(01:19):
was and the experience he had, because then I have
to plan around that, like do I want to go
at that same time? You know what I mean? The
guy's a firefighter. Can't he like pull a fire alarm
and get everybody out of there and then be like dah,
my bad and then reset it because he knows how
to do that, and then get a real.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
I D I think you should show up with his
uniform and an axe and everything.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
Bring the axe, yeah, you know, bring it yeah and everything,
and just be like, I'm here. You know I need
a real ID.

Speaker 3 (01:40):
I mean I would, Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
So you would. You would not. You're not waiting a
line for your husband, absolutely not, now, Carolin. That doesn't
surprive me that you would wait in line for someone else.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
Yeah, but I would need like a reason.

Speaker 4 (01:50):
I mean, let's not you take my kindness, you know,
advantage of it.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
But no, I don't want to do it. So will
you do it for me?

Speaker 3 (01:58):
No, I don't think so.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
I reason. I already have one, so it's fine.

Speaker 4 (02:02):
Yeah, I have one since twenty twenty sous wow, early
early after.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
I don't have a real idea. I have an enhanced
license a different.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
Pardon me, yeah, pardon me. Well, I have a triple
A card, so do I know? Yeah, No, that's a
r wish. I'm I don't have one yet, but I should.
I should have an AARP card because the way I'm
living is Yeah, I've got it several years ago, but
I also live like I should have one.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
I need one too.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
It's funny two and five say they would donate an
organ to friends and family two and five, So only
two and five. Now that's that? Actually, so half of
people would go wait in line to get a real
ID for I guess anybody, just for loved ones. But
only two of those same five five of those people,

(02:53):
only two of them would give an organ to save someone. Well,
but they're different, right, But you're saving someone's life. So
if I have something that would save my niece's life.
I'm more likely to wait in line to get her
a real ID than I am to save her life.

Speaker 4 (03:07):
Well, one is surgery, so there's a lot more than
you got to think about and stuff.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
So it's death, that's a lot more to think about.

Speaker 4 (03:13):
Right, But when somebody needs an organ, you're not the
only person that can give that organ. I mean, there's
a lot of stuff you have to go through and
you need to Obviously, if your niece needs an organ,
you're gonna try and give her one. But like you
can't compare that to waiting in line for an ID.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
Well, but I don't. I mean if they came to
me and said you're a match and I go, no,
I don't want to do that, but I'll get her
a real ID. That surprises me. I guess I would
think people would answer more affirmatively, like you can save
someone's life and it won't kill you probably, So then
I don't know. Well, no, I mean, still it's surgery

(03:47):
to Camelin's point, but like more than likely you're gonna
live through giving someone an organ. I don't know. That
surprised me a little bit. I guess I would think
more people would be, like, if I could save my
loved one's life, I would do it. If I'm the
one who could do it, I would do it.

Speaker 5 (03:58):
Absolutely if I can still live, right, Like if they
need a kidney or something.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
There's always a risk there is.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
It's not really as easy as other people can do
it because people sit on lists forever and ever and
ever and ever and ever, and some people don't even
make it. So you're telling me I would make my
niece God only like using easy I would make my
third cousin who I don't have so I can. It's
an easy example. I would make them sit on the
list for years when I could save them. But I'm
not going to do that. But I will get them
an ID.

Speaker 5 (04:22):
That's your third cause, right, Yeah, I'm somebody else, I guess.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
Let me see. Eighty two percent would share a surprise
one hundred thousand dollars lottery win.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
Yeah, one hundred percent. I would do that easy.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
Share again, life or death or share share. I'm more
likely to intervene in life or death than I am
to give you part of my one hundred grand because
I can live with you not getting ten grand. I
can't live with you dying because I was selfish?

Speaker 3 (04:53):
Why are you the only one that can save the person?

Speaker 2 (04:54):
Though?

Speaker 1 (04:55):
But Caitlin, people sit on organ donation lists for years,
so it's not as though it's that easy. It's not
like if I don't give it to you that you'll
just the next guy can, because it likes as very specialized. Right.

Speaker 4 (05:05):
But to know you're a match, you have to be
willing to give your organ to even find out if
you're a match.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
Right. But I would I'm saying like, I would like
if somebody came to me and they were like, there's
a very good likelihood because there's genetic link that you
could save someone's life, I wouldn't say no, I don't.
I don't know how you get don't know how you
could live that way.

Speaker 5 (05:22):
So you give me your kidney, but you don't want
to give me twenty grand of you one hundred thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
If I didn't give you a kidney and I could,
and then you die and I get to live with that,
that's that's way more valuable than twenty thousand dollars.

Speaker 5 (05:33):
If I needed the twenty thousand dollars while I was
gonna die.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
But that's that's not true. That's not how that works, right,
It wouldn't work the way. It doesn't work the way.
I don't know. You'd be fine mine. You just wouldn't
be able to shop pay the tariffs on Timo anymore.
You have to shop up somewhere else, or shan or
whatever you're on the pole also have had. Americans are
fiercely loyal, not just to people, but to brands, from

(05:56):
shoes to tech to grocery stores and gas stations. Folks
stick with their favorite. It's for an average of thirteen years.
That's another one. Do you guys buy the same kind
of toilet paper every time? Yes? Do you buy the
exact same time of a kind of toothpaste every time?

Speaker 2 (06:10):
Yep?

Speaker 1 (06:10):
No, you do every day. It's identical. Yes. So if
I go in, what I know see? I don't know.
I mean, they're probably a couple of brands. I just
get the one that looks familiar to me at the time,
or the one Amazon told me I bought before. But
I can't honestly tell you that I'm that brand loyal.
I mean, I think there are a couple of good
toilet paper brands I've had, Like I don't buy the
sandpaper one, but I don't. I don't necessarily buy one

(06:34):
versus the other. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
I mean the same coffee every day, well.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
Because that's I have two choices, and I like one
over the other.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
Brand like, but that's not.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
The same as when I walk into the toothpaste aisle
and there are seven hundred different kinds and I can't
remember which which of the crest with the breath strips
was it the cinnamon or the peppermint or I don't
remember what.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
You're looking for crests.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
That's brand loyalty, I suppose, But I mean if I
saw another one looked like it kind of like the
other one I used to buy, it might grab it.
I guess. I don't know if I care.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
I gotta wear Vans.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
You I also wear Nikes. I also wear you know, Vans.

Speaker 5 (07:11):
There is no other I guess sneakers.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
I guess I wouldn't. I don't know if I would
say that I do it because of the brand. I
guess I do it. I'll buy way. I like how
it looks, but I know people like you you will
go and they would like they will. It's got to
be this kind of everything and I can't necessarily say
that I'm that way, this brand of pasta, this brand
of this, this brand of if it's.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
That brand or the off brand version of that.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
But then that's not the same brand.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
But it's the same thing. Like, you know, I like
a thin toilet paper.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
So if it's no, I don't know that nails you like? No, no, no, no,
I don't remember this. You like thin toilet paper? Who
would who hurt you?

Speaker 2 (07:56):
No one?

Speaker 1 (07:56):
No one likes toilet paper. But you may choose your
and wash it.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
Yes, girl, that would be so mad if you came
to my house. But I like a thin toilet paper.

Speaker 5 (08:07):
I don't want all that, like a like a cloth like,
I don't want all that.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
It leaves the resident doing all that. I don't need that.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
I need as much distance between my skin and whatever
is happening there.

Speaker 5 (08:17):
Well, so I will buy Scott in the end. If
Scott is not there, I will buy the off brand
version of Scott.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
Little but hurt from using you know, clean like actual
copy paper is toilet paper. I mean it's terrible, it's clean.

Speaker 5 (08:32):
But yes, I will buy that brand or the off
brand version of that brand.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
Idea, No, no, not coming to your house. But then again,
if I came to your house, there would be no
chance that I would be using any toilet paper because
there's I don't go to other people's houses, and then
I know women need it, but I don't go to
other people's houses and do any activity that would require
toilet paper. None. Zero. You go to someone else's house
and go number two.

Speaker 3 (08:56):
If I have to, I would.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
I'm not holding it in for nobody.

Speaker 3 (08:59):
I've got a Paulina's.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
I had to go.

Speaker 1 (09:01):
What are we to do?

Speaker 3 (09:02):
Drive all the way home?

Speaker 5 (09:02):
Right yeah, holding your butt, cheeks clenching girl, little Turio
coming out.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
I will go home.

Speaker 5 (09:07):
I am not no, no, no go though, like I'm
talking like.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
I didn't leave the house. I didn't cut my canceled.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
Around the corner.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
If it is that kind of situation where I don't
know if I can get through the night, I am
not available.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
If it started when you were at Paulina's.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
I'd leave, I'd leave and go home. I don't know
what kind of bowel system movements situation you guys have,
because mine it's either I'm sick or I can control it.
It's nothing in the middle.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
Well, you're so lucky right, But what are you having
a real good time? A real good time?

Speaker 1 (09:40):
If I feel I need to do that, I'm not
having a real good time. I'm sweating probably, And I left.
You guys are crazy. On the way back, I pull
into a hotel, U crap, and I go to the lobby.
I guess I've never had to do that, but I
don't know.

Speaker 3 (09:56):
No, you guys can.

Speaker 1 (09:58):
I don't go to my friend's houses to do that.

Speaker 5 (10:00):
No idea that that's a dangerous game because you do
that and then that's the one time their toilet stops
up or like you know, and now you got to
tell your friend, like I clogged your toilet.

Speaker 3 (10:08):
That's well, if it's be that kind of like, I
don't know, I've never called the toilet, but if if
it's gonna be that, then.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
You know, my bad.

Speaker 3 (10:16):
If I have the blue cheese steak, then I'll drive.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
Yeah, but she will give you an organ though maybe
or for you st
