Speaker 1 (00:00):
Show. This is what's trending some texts. How do you
like them apples? Oh? Yes, that was made famous again
by Goodwill Hunting the movie how do you like them apples?
Speaker 2 (00:12):
He used to say that all the time to my brothers.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
You did, yes, how do you like them apples?
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Burning the candle from both ends? People are sending us
their old timey phrases here. Well, I'm just reading through
all these. Oh, happy birthday, Radio Bell. I hope the
hammer brings it down tonight. The Hebrew Hammer, as we
learned this week, that's what. I don't know who's calling
her husband that, but people had been calling him the
(00:41):
Hebrew Hammer for some time now. He used to catchers.
From what I understand, he's burning the candle at both ends,
if you know what I mean. Yeah, I asked Melo,
I said, what are you getting for your birthday today?
What's the Hebrew Hammer going to do? And she goes,
you know what he's going to do? And I was like,
wait a minute, that sounds like more of impressive for
him then, you you know, I mean, that's that's you know,
(01:03):
I guess for some people, birthdays are it's like a
mutual gift. Everybody gets a little a little something on
the birthday.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
You know, it's supposed to be more about did you
just now figure.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Out this week?
Speaker 3 (01:13):
This week you're out to.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Lunch man an I'll tell you guys later, see you
at the meeting for.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
My n used to say, golly sakes, don't even know
what that man golly sakes in anyway. So yeah, but
birthdays it's supposed to be more about the birthday person.
But nobody really loses in that game, do they.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
No, not that you're both you know, getting what you
need right, That's right?
Speaker 1 (01:39):
So guys, did the pope watches on and apparently he's
miraculously healed. Now he was on earlier in the week,
and he was Wednesday he was nearing death while drinking
coffee and reading the newspapers. So I mean it was
like a very casual death nearing situation for him, which
you know, Hey, look, if you're the pope, you got
to be feeling pretty good about things. I think life
probably gets better for you if you're the pope and
(02:00):
you go to heaven. I got to think, you know,
give me you're going right to the front. Let you
are tsa PreCheck, you are clear. Plus you are you
are going? You have the digital ID. No one's stopping you,
you know what I mean. But apparently some good news
he's improving, A Vatican spokesperson said of the eighty eight
year old Pope Francis has no fever and that his
(02:20):
key heart parameters continue.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
To be stable.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
He is talking about in early retirement, though, which I
think has only happened a couple of times. Pope Benedict,
who became the first pope to retire in six hundred
years in twenty thirteen. Pope France is maybe the second
person to do that. He might decide to resign. Apparently
he's written a resignation letter after he was elected in
case medical problems kept him from carrying out his duties.
(02:45):
But if he can't come into contact with people, then
he might resign and make somebody else the pope. And
then remember they put all the cardinals like in a
room somewhere the Vatican, and then when a white smoke
comes out the top, that means we got ourselves a
new pope. I don't want to get ahead of myself here,
but I am in consideration. Yeah, uh huh, yeah, they
they've inquired. They called my agent. They were wondering if
(03:05):
I if I was interested in the role.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Oh you too, Yeah, I've been seeking after me, you know, decades.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
I didn't want to bring it up because I didn't
want to cause any sort of like, you know, any
sort of rivalry in the room.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Obviously you were an altar boy.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Yeah, and you know so I lit the perfect lifestyle.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
We both had questionable choices in the light, in the
eyes of the church, but you know, alwa's forgiven. But you,
hey made the best man win. You know what I mean.
We're gonna bet the Vatican the white smokes gonna come out.
We're gonna take a co papal roll. You and me
both go go popes, co popes. It's gonna hang out
(03:47):
in our white cloth thing. And you know what I mean,
we're a little hat and just chill.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Nothing underneath.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
I wouldn't. Well, we hear the pope. Who's gonna stop?
You get the pope mobile to go.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Man, I've always wanted cruising that.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Yes, the Minnesota Senate, I don't know why this isn't
I mean, if this isn't federal, I don't know why.
But the Minnesota Senate targets use of AI to make
people look naked, so they're trying to get ahead of
AI abuses. It's considering a bill that would ban the
use of AI technology that can alter an image and
make a person appear naked. The newification, which I guess
is a word legislation calls for a penalty of five
(04:25):
hundred thousand dollars for each unlawful access or download to
these altered images.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
That should be federal. If it's not, I'm not sure when. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Apple has launched a new phone, a budget friendly phone,
which is only six hundred dollars, Only six hundred dollars
for its phone, which I guess the normal ones are
like over one thousand, So okay, so this is a
smaller version of the iPhone. It does come with AI.
The mid raged pricing strategy is aiming to woo price
(04:54):
sensitive customers in countries like China and India and boost
adoption in lower end markets. But on a global scale,
Apple still faces an uphill battle in luring new customers.
It's smartphone sales have declined sense peaking in twenty twenty two,
and its global shipment share has fallen nineteen point three
percent in twenty twenty three. That's because it's the same
phone over and over again. We've been over this HM
(05:19):
iPhone one, revolutionary iPhone two, like double iPhone one, iPhone three,
was like, oh my gosh, change the shape, everything's different, faster,
does all this stuff and take the button away whenever
they did that, And now I just feel like it's
the same phone.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Oh now we added an extra camera. Now there's another
four lenses, got the same thing. I don't know what
the fourth lens does. The pictures look the same.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
To me, exactly the same, not really sure. It's crazy though,
because think about it.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
Growing up, we all had like different phones, and now
I'm looking around the room, obviously we all have the
same phone.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
It's it's an iPhone. Looks the same.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
But you would have like a razor or you would
have like a side chocolate, a chocolate like I had
the oils.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
The flip one. Was that the razor the flip one?
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Yeah, the razor which was like thin, right, it was
a super thin Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
And like the what it's called the BlackBerry blueberry black
back BlackBerry, Yeah, that one.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
So it's just like.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Crazy to think, right, there were like ten different brands
or whatever.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Yeah, and like now we're all just literally getting the
same phone.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Over and remember that Nokia phone that everybody had, Yes, yeah, yeah,
So Jason, you're to sports reporter, so you of course
you've heard about this. But the Mets, which is what
kind of scene. It's a baseball team in Memphis, right,
the Memphis Mets of the of the Basketball League.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
One Soto plays for the Mets. He was traded or
signed with I don't know if he's traded to sign
with the Mets, and for seven hundred and sixty five
million dollars.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
But he wanted to wear number. Was it twenty two?
Speaker 1 (06:42):
He wanted number twenty two to wear, you know when
he was playing baseball. It's baseball and it's New York. Actually,
but another guy already had that number. So what did
he do. He bought him an eighty thousand dollars Chevy
Tahoe RST. And the guy gave up his number. I
guess earlier in the season he signed with the team.
He's like, I want that number. The guy's like, what's
my number? He said, well, no, I'll give you something
(07:03):
for it, and he gave him a new car. Wow,
So that's the story. He get himself a new car. Now,
the guy did just sign a seven hundred and sixty
five million dollars deal. I might have aimed a little
higher than if I had the number. I might have
been like, tell you what, five million bucks? Yeah, And
I know that's kind of a jerky thing to do
to your new teammate, you know, but it's like, hey,
you just seven hundred and sixty five million dollars. You
(07:25):
can do something nice. And I hate to be the
guy that's the pessimist, but you can do something nicer
for me than an eighty thousand dollars car. I'm also
wondering because they gave it to him at spring training,
which is in like Arizona or Florida or something. Now, No,
but now guys got drive it home to New York.
That's not very nice. It's shipping included, right, Thank.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
You for the car. Are you going to get it
back to my house in New York?
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Mean?
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Are you going to drive it? I sound ungrateful right now,
but I just sticks an't making sense for me. I
think it could have been a little better. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
And finally, in Calen, this is kind of along the
lines of something that you know, we've talked about Paulina too,
but they've done a full study on what they're calling
text isms. We all like we spend a fair amount
of time analyzing text messages. It's not always easy to
gauge a sender's feelings from written words, as facial expressions
and pattern patterns of rhythm and sound often used to
shape meaning in spoken conversations are absent when you text. However,
(08:16):
now this isn't quite as sensitive as you are with
the texting. But they talked about non standard methods of
writing texts, like abbreviations, intentional misspellings, irregular capitalization, using a
different line for each word, and putting periods between each word,
and they said that those forms of texting are more
(08:39):
intense than other forms of texting now, not using proper
grammar and sentence structure, that's not the problem. Caitlin doesn't
like it when I write a paragraph with periods and
exclamation points, like.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
I'm not allowed to use my I did last night.
I did last night to somebody. I don't know who
I did it. I think it was to you, Jason.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
I said thank you for something, and I said thank you.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Oh yeah, you'll get exclaation, BOYD.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Thank you, But like I, I the first of all
the phone automatically, so I would have to make an
effort to not capitalize the first letter of a sentence.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
I'm okay with capitalization.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Oh you are okay. You just don't like periods in
full sentences.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Just stop hurting us. Yeah, I don't like periods. Periods
are the worst. But how do I stop a thought?
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Then?
Speaker 1 (09:22):
That's what I mean for you, That's what I mean.
I'm just gonna write you a paragraph. I was going
to be efficient. This is what I have to say.
Where are the emojisom boom by? We're the gifts instead
of what? Instead I would have to write you like
seven lines of a text message.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
I think that's aggressive.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Just just be happy. Just love me.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
I am happy. I do love you. To catch what
you have. Has already told you that it's okay.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
I've already.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
I've already accepted that I'm gonna get punctuation, and I'm
just gonna have to wonder if you hate me.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
I'm supposed to write non punctuated sentences to Kaylin because
it hurts her feelings.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
You can do eight exclamations and a heart, and it's
some glitter and then I'll.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Know you guys.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
I'm worse so because and kaylen this to me and
I never told you this, but it hurts my feelings.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Let's get it out. Let's get it out.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
You know, I think everyone here has done it to me.
I'm pretty sure I don't like a thumbs up. When
you thumbs up something.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Oh, it is very passive aggressive.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
It makes me sad.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
I think there are different formats of that's when you
would like click on the message and make it, make
it a thumbs up, or respond with a thumb up.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
I respond, I got it, like got it, I've read it,
I've received, I'm good.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
Or like when you like my message, like don't thumbs
up it, like put a heart or an exclamation point
to be cool, Okay, you're on?
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Or may I please?
Speaker 5 (10:33):
The reason that I thumbs up because you're referring to
when you tell me what I text you good morning,
I get carpool that you're the only person that gets
a good morning text.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
That is true, so where that.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
But you tell me what time you're going to pick
me up, and sometimes the time changes, and if I
don't acknowledge that the time change even though I saw it,
you will call me and worry that I didn't see it,
so I try to do a thumbs up so you
know I saw it.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Yeah, that is a way of ignoring I. I think
it depends on the context, like for example.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
That is, but I'll do a heart. I apologize.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
It's been a very.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Busy couple of weeks. We've been traveling, we doing all
kinds of stuff. This week's been really busy, and a
friend of mine's been trying to track me down and
I haven't been responsive. And it's not on purpose, it's
just every time I think to respond, I haven't. And
so finally it was like the person was like, hey,
I'm actually kind of worried about your non response. So
I were, oh my god, I'm really sorry, like this
why I traveled yesterday.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
This is what I've been doing. I've been doing this,
that and everything.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
And I was very apologetic, and what I got in
response was a thumbs up. No, that was a passive
aggressive way of saying you know what I mean. It's
a context was that was somebody going, Okay, you know,
got it, you know whatever, because they even though I
said I was sorry and I and I acknowledged why
I wasn't able to be responsive in that case.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
It was passive aggressive.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
But a heart would have been okay, right, if he
sent a.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Heart would have been cool or hey, thanks for whatever,
just because look, I'm sorry, it's just been a little
nutty around here late.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
I mean we just just changed down here.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
She did no more thumbs up myself again. Yeah, I
don't know why I take things so personal.
Speaker 5 (12:01):
I would never thumbs up something like that though. That
is like it's like we are at war. No, actually,
I actually thought that was actually going to rude. I
actually actually, let me say it again. Actually, I actually
thought it was kind of right.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
So he wants a response from you. You give him
finally what he wants.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
And it was a girl.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
So I hate to say this, but I know it would.
I know it was massive aggressive for that reason.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
You guys hate you left her, you ignored her for days.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Yeah, all right, you deserved it, But no I don't
because if you're actually, but I didn't do it on purpose.
I just realized I had done it, and I was like,
oh my gosh, because a lot of times what happens
is people will text me at eight o'clock, nine o'clock
at night, and I'm asleep. Yeah, and so I wake
up at three point thirty four and I see it,
and I'm not going to respond then because I don't
know of your deliveries.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
I'm not going to respond to you at three in
the morning or four in the morning, yes, when I
first see it, and sadly, by ten am or whatever,
when I finally get back to whatever else I had
to do when the show's over, I've kind of forgotten
about what happened at three or four in the morning exactly,
So I don't mean to respond. It's just depending on
when you text me. I may not respond to you
out of courtesy because you know, maybe your phone's on,
(13:08):
and so if I text you for one more dang you,
I wake you up. Now that's rude. So anyway, but
I think people take this too seriously. If you write
me in all capital if you write me with a
bunch of exclamation points, you know, there are certain things
that definitely say to me like you're trying to convey
an attitude or mentality. But if I just write you
a complete sentence with a period at the end, because
(13:29):
I have a four year degree in English and my
mom would be very upset with me. Well, I mean
I may use it, mayful use it for something sentence structure,
you know, But then heyleen, it won't talk to me
for seven weeks. So we just got to the end
of seven weeks and I texted or something. I think
it's another seven weeks of no touch. No, I don't
think it is. It's not National Supermarket Employee day to day.
(13:49):
It's National Caregivers Day today as well. The Entertainment Report
will do blogs. Waiting by the phone's new all next
spread show back in two minutes
Show. This is what's trending some texts. How do you

Speaker 2 (06:08):
Yeah, and like now we're all just literally getting the
same phone.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Over and remember that Nokia phone that everybody had, Yes, yeah, yeah,
So Jason, you're to sports reporter, so you of course
you've heard about this. But the Mets, which is what
kind of scene. It's a baseball team in Memphis, right,
the Memphis Mets of the of the Basketball League.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
One Soto plays for the Mets. He was traded or
signed with I don't know if he's traded to sign
with the Mets, and for seven hundred and sixty five
million dollars.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
But he wanted to wear number. Was it twenty two?
Speaker 1 (06:42):
He wanted number twenty two to wear, you know when
he was playing baseball. It's baseball and it's New York. Actually,
but another guy already had that number. So what did
he do. He bought him an eighty thousand dollars Chevy
Tahoe RST. And the guy gave up his number. I
guess earlier in the season he signed with the team.
He's like, I want that number. The guy's like, what's
my number? He said, well, no, I'll give you something
(07:03):
for it, and he gave him a new car. Wow,
So that's the story. He get himself a new car. Now,
the guy did just sign a seven hundred and sixty
five million dollars deal. I might have aimed a little
higher than if I had the number. I might have
been like, tell you what, five million bucks? Yeah, And
I know that's kind of a jerky thing to do
to your new teammate, you know, but it's like, hey,
you just seven hundred and sixty five million dollars. You
(07:25):
can do something nice. And I hate to be the
guy that's the pessimist, but you can do something nicer
for me than an eighty thousand dollars car. I'm also
wondering because they gave it to him at spring training,
which is in like Arizona or Florida or something. Now, No,
but now guys got drive it home to New York.
That's not very nice. It's shipping included, right, Thank.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
You for the car. Are you going to get it
back to my house in New York?
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Mean?
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Are you going to drive it? I sound ungrateful right now,
but I just sticks an't making sense for me. I
think it could have been a little better. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
And finally, in Calen, this is kind of along the
lines of something that you know, we've talked about Paulina too,
but they've done a full study on what they're calling
text isms. We all like we spend a fair amount
of time analyzing text messages. It's not always easy to
gauge a sender's feelings from written words, as facial expressions
and pattern patterns of rhythm and sound often used to
shape meaning in spoken conversations are absent when you text. However,
(08:16):
now this isn't quite as sensitive as you are with
the texting. But they talked about non standard methods of
writing texts, like abbreviations, intentional misspellings, irregular capitalization, using a
different line for each word, and putting periods between each word,
and they said that those forms of texting are more
(08:39):
intense than other forms of texting now, not using proper
grammar and sentence structure, that's not the problem. Caitlin doesn't
like it when I write a paragraph with periods and
exclamation points, like.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
I'm not allowed to use my I did last night.
I did last night to somebody. I don't know who
I did it. I think it was to you, Jason.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
I said thank you for something, and I said thank you.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Oh yeah, you'll get exclaation, BOYD.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Thank you, But like I, I the first of all
the phone automatically, so I would have to make an
effort to not capitalize the first letter of a sentence.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
I'm okay with capitalization.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Oh you are okay. You just don't like periods in
full sentences.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Just stop hurting us. Yeah, I don't like periods. Periods
are the worst. But how do I stop a thought?
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Then?
Speaker 1 (09:22):
That's what I mean for you, That's what I mean.
I'm just gonna write you a paragraph. I was going
to be efficient. This is what I have to say.
Where are the emojisom boom by? We're the gifts instead
of what? Instead I would have to write you like
seven lines of a text message.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
I think that's aggressive.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Just just be happy. Just love me.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
I am happy. I do love you. To catch what
you have. Has already told you that it's okay.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
I've already.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
I've already accepted that I'm gonna get punctuation, and I'm
just gonna have to wonder if you hate me.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
I'm supposed to write non punctuated sentences to Kaylin because
it hurts her feelings.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
You can do eight exclamations and a heart, and it's
some glitter and then I'll.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Know you guys.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
I'm worse so because and kaylen this to me and
I never told you this, but it hurts my feelings.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Let's get it out. Let's get it out.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
You know, I think everyone here has done it to me.
I'm pretty sure I don't like a thumbs up. When
you thumbs up something.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Oh, it is very passive aggressive.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
It makes me sad.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
I think there are different formats of that's when you
would like click on the message and make it, make
it a thumbs up, or respond with a thumb up.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
I respond, I got it, like got it, I've read it,
I've received, I'm good.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
Or like when you like my message, like don't thumbs
up it, like put a heart or an exclamation point
to be cool, Okay, you're on?
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Or may I please?
Speaker 5 (10:33):
The reason that I thumbs up because you're referring to
when you tell me what I text you good morning,
I get carpool that you're the only person that gets
a good morning text.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
That is true, so where that.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
But you tell me what time you're going to pick
me up, and sometimes the time changes, and if I
don't acknowledge that the time change even though I saw it,
you will call me and worry that I didn't see it,
so I try to do a thumbs up so you
know I saw it.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Yeah, that is a way of ignoring I. I think
it depends on the context, like for example.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
That is, but I'll do a heart. I apologize.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
It's been a very.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Busy couple of weeks. We've been traveling, we doing all
kinds of stuff. This week's been really busy, and a
friend of mine's been trying to track me down and
I haven't been responsive. And it's not on purpose, it's
just every time I think to respond, I haven't. And
so finally it was like the person was like, hey,
I'm actually kind of worried about your non response. So
I were, oh my god, I'm really sorry, like this
why I traveled yesterday.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
This is what I've been doing. I've been doing this,
that and everything.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
And I was very apologetic, and what I got in
response was a thumbs up. No, that was a passive
aggressive way of saying you know what I mean. It's
a context was that was somebody going, Okay, you know,
got it, you know whatever, because they even though I
said I was sorry and I and I acknowledged why
I wasn't able to be responsive in that case.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
It was passive aggressive.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
But a heart would have been okay, right, if he
sent a.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Heart would have been cool or hey, thanks for whatever,
just because look, I'm sorry, it's just been a little
nutty around here late.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
I mean we just just changed down here.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
She did no more thumbs up myself again. Yeah, I
don't know why I take things so personal.
Speaker 5 (12:01):
I would never thumbs up something like that though. That
is like it's like we are at war. No, actually,
I actually thought that was actually going to rude. I
actually actually, let me say it again. Actually, I actually
thought it was kind of right.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
So he wants a response from you. You give him
finally what he wants.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
And it was a girl.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
So I hate to say this, but I know it would.
I know it was massive aggressive for that reason.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
You guys hate you left her, you ignored her for days.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Yeah, all right, you deserved it, But no I don't
because if you're actually, but I didn't do it on purpose.
I just realized I had done it, and I was like,
oh my gosh, because a lot of times what happens
is people will text me at eight o'clock, nine o'clock
at night, and I'm asleep. Yeah, and so I wake
up at three point thirty four and I see it,
and I'm not going to respond then because I don't
know of your deliveries.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
I'm not going to respond to you at three in
the morning or four in the morning, yes, when I
first see it, and sadly, by ten am or whatever,
when I finally get back to whatever else I had
to do when the show's over, I've kind of forgotten
about what happened at three or four in the morning exactly,
So I don't mean to respond. It's just depending on
when you text me. I may not respond to you
out of courtesy because you know, maybe your phone's on,
(13:08):
and so if I text you for one more dang you,
I wake you up. Now that's rude. So anyway, but
I think people take this too seriously. If you write
me in all capital if you write me with a
bunch of exclamation points, you know, there are certain things
that definitely say to me like you're trying to convey
an attitude or mentality. But if I just write you
a complete sentence with a period at the end, because
(13:29):
I have a four year degree in English and my
mom would be very upset with me. Well, I mean
I may use it, mayful use it for something sentence structure,
you know, But then heyleen, it won't talk to me
for seven weeks. So we just got to the end
of seven weeks and I texted or something. I think
it's another seven weeks of no touch. No, I don't
think it is. It's not National Supermarket Employee day to day.
(13:49):
It's National Caregivers Day today as well. The Entertainment Report
will do blogs. Waiting by the phone's new all next
spread show back in two minutes
