Speaker 1 (00:40):
I'll try this.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
He's literally I don't know if anyone's feeling like being scandalous,
but eight five five five as I feel about most
things that we do in this show, Let's try it.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
It may work, it may not. You know, it's We'll
just move right on. Don't worry.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
I got other stuff eight five five five nine one
one oh three five. Is there a secret about the
place that you work that a lot of people don't
know and maybe wouldn't want to know? For example, this
story this morning a Colorado And I'm sorry to doctors
and nurses because I know many of you were responsible,
But I also think there may be aspects of this

(01:12):
that you can relate to. It is a little bit scary,
but a Colorado surgical team allegedly played a music bingo
game on a cell phone while performing what was expected
to be a routine cataract operation, and act at the
center of a lawsuit settled by the patients who died
of cardiac arrest during the surgery. So, according to the suit,

(01:32):
both the surgeon and the aniseesiologists participated in the distraction
as this guy underwent the routine surgery, one of almost
four million such procedures performed annually. Apparently, I'm just getting
to the you know, the crux of the story. I
guess in order for them to hear the music to
play the bingo game on their phone, they had to

(01:53):
mute the machines that monitored the patient's you know, like
cardiac statuss or whatever. Yeah, the vital signs. So I
guess I guess the vital sign of alarms from the
thing we're getting in the would potentially get in a
way of playing the game, so apparently they muted them,
and details of the legal settlement had not been disclosed,

(02:15):
with the doctors allegedly admitted to being distracted. The music
bingo game apparently involved playing songs on a cell phone
and marking off the titles on a board in an
attempt to get bingo, And then they made one of
the doctors explain like, well, well, like I guess in
the deposition or in court, they're like wha, well, how
does it work? And so one of the doctors had
to say, well, if a BG song played, then that
would count for.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
B in bingo. You want to get bingo.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
And in the meantime, this person eleven minutes into their surgery,
I guess, had a heart attack and died, and they
didn't necessarily know I guess fast enough because it was like,
I don't know because.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
They were playing a game, right right, there's a third
eye blind or is a really bad?

Speaker 2 (02:55):
You know, it's horrible, and maybe I don't want to
do this topic anymore. Maybe I want to push the
button to move on. But I'm just I would imagine
there are things that happen at people's work all the
time that they have no idea about and maybe didn't
need to know, you know, whether it's I know, the
doctor's listened to music when they're operating. I know that's

(03:15):
not uncommon where some do the nurses do or whatever.
I know that I've heard that people listen to this
thing while they're operating, which, hey, hey, doc, don't laugh
too hard, ha ha. Yeah, it must be hard to
keep your hands steady because we're so funny. I mean,
I would get that you're in that room for however long,
and you're concentrating and maybe the music helps whatever.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
That's fine. A lot of people listen to music while
they work.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
I'm sure you're able to do both as long as
you're focusing on the task at hand. But is it like, Yeah,
have you guys ever worked at a place where you thought, Man,
I really don't think people want to know about this, like,
you know, maybe food prep. I'm sure there are aspects
of food preparation or food storage that aren't necessarily unsafe,
but they're unsavory, like you just wouldn't want to know necessarily,

(04:00):
Like I you know, I'm when I'm in a somewhere
and I order soup where I see soup being made
and it's out of a bag in a microwave. Like
I don't like those restaurants where you can see the kitchen.
I don't need to see the kitchen. Really, I don't
need to see the kitchen. No, I don't need it
because I don't need to see it.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
Does it?

Speaker 2 (04:16):
It's not necessary for me to know how it was,
how the sausage was made. Just bring it to me,
you know, Like I want to believe you're back there
with a big cauldron of you know, soup and someone
just stirring it all day and you know, loving it,
you know, and then he's a ladle and they like
spoon it out just for me. You know, I don't
want to believe that someone was like, oh he ordered
the soup. Oh my god, do we even have any

(04:36):
So okay, find a bag, right, and then need the
bag and then they you know, they boiled the bag
or they or they put in the microwave and then
give it to you.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
Like what I'm not.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
If it's hot and it's delicious, then I'm none the wiser.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
I don't know, I didn't need to know that. You
know what about CAFC.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
Can't give away our secrets, man, would.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
I if I I'm not picking up on KFC. Let's
just say fast food in general. But of course we're
an esteemed manager of a Kentucky Fried Chicken. Yes, they
tried to go back to that for a while, didn't they. Yeah,
they tried to go back to Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Speaker 4 (05:08):
They're doing several rebrands, and I'm like, what's what's going on?
I think Taco Bell is taking them out.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
But you know, well, because Taco Bell says hamburgers and
chicken tender right, chicken ten and people think the chicken
tenders are delicious, fries topped, Taco Bell is just like,
forget about it. There's one stuff shopping come on by
ice cream? Now, will poor little Baja blast on it?
It's a it's a float enjoy Okay, But fast food
in general maybe don't have to be specific y, but

(05:36):
what I see stuff that I'm like.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
Mm absolutely so.

Speaker 4 (05:39):
Like just for instance, like coal slaw, all of those
ingredients have to be mixed up, and so it's in
a really.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
Big tub and we just pour all.

Speaker 4 (05:47):
Of it in here and then we pour the coalslaw
sauce on there and somebody has to mix it up
with their hands, not their nick.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
They got gloves.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
There's gloves. But why don't you have a spoof because.

Speaker 4 (05:59):
It's so much, it's so big, you can't. You got
to get in there.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
You have.

Speaker 4 (06:05):
To step foot first in the coast lag and then
just stand in it and mum, you need a big
shovel or something. Yeah, you have to mix it and
then you know, like our chicken pop pies, that's it's
made with chicken that's been loved.

Speaker 3 (06:18):
So you know, it's like the.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
Matur So this chicken has left over, yes, and how long?
Can it's all day? Yeah, from the day before sometimes okay,
and then they chop it up and they put.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
The Yeah, so can be wasteful.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
What do they do?

Speaker 2 (06:34):
They so they take the chicken and then they chop
it up and put the refrigerator, and then they use
it for the pope pie the.

Speaker 4 (06:38):
Next day and for the shredded barbecue chicken sandwich.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
Okay that yeah, I mean, yeah, that's that's sanitary, of course. Yeah,
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (06:49):
You might pick up a piece like what part of
the chicken is this but you know throw it all
in there with fine.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
Oh no, I didn't even know that. Yeah, yeah I didn't.
I could have done without that. I never worked in
I worked in retail, and I don't think I have
any secrets, Like there weren't any secrets of retail, Like
there weren't. I mean we marked uff up a lot
in retail, Like yeah, well I worked in a boutique
and it was like what it costs and we just
double it.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
That was pretty keystone to do. That's pretty common. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (07:17):
I just was like, this is sound the grocery stores.
I know Jason worked at a grocery store probablyna, Yeah,
what is there anything weird going on back there with
like the meat because I feel like it was.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
A car boy, so I always have access to the
butcher if I did.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
If I did work at a grocery store, I don't.
I don't need to see it, Like I don't need
to go there, Like it's fine, it's great, Like you
do what you gotta do, and then the little piece
of meat come out on a little thing, you know,
cyrophoam or whatever it is, and I just grab it
and go.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
I don't need to under I don't need to.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
Know how we got from move to that, you know,
I don't need to know, Like it's not it's not helpful.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
You know.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
Yeah, no, but normally there's like a window at least
in my jewel, like you could see back there, like
what they're doing.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
Yeah, yeah, that like door that swings open and just
give it a big push. Yeah, they were doing stuff
back there, have like little shower caps on, they have
their shower caps. They usually dressed and then like there's
a bakery, you got the dressed.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
Yeah, they wearing clothes. Yeah in the kitchen, I know,
but you can't just.

Speaker 3 (08:22):
Dress yeah naked in the deli actually hot night.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
Remember that was the last time of the time. Before that,
we volunteered it round McDonald house and we made lunch.
And I don't know if you guys have ever done
this before. I encourage, like, if you've got a group
of friends or a business, so what, I encourage you
to do this because it's nice. It's a nice thing
to do. It helps out the families and but but
at least here it is a serious operation. Like you
it is hard work, like it is not it is

(08:47):
any photo opportunity. We're not there. We're not just mixing
things that have already been made. No, no, no, like
it's chopping, it's slicing. It's like it's the whole thing,
like right, and there are cooks there, there's a chef there.
It's like advising this, but it's all scratch made and
you're doing it.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
So that's fine.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
But I remember we went I think it was last time,
and the guy it was chicken, some kind of chicken
was for lunch. And the guy was like, yeah, you guys,
I know your show's on until ten, you normally got
to be here at eight to break down the chickens.
I'm like, excuse me, break down the chicken. He's like, well, yeah,
you know, like these chickens, I broke them. You know,
I don't know how many people they're feeding, one hundred
people something. So there's all these chicken pieces and for
the lunch, and it's like, oh yeah, these were these

(09:26):
were just whole chickens. I mean they were like bock
bock box but like they were you know, hold chickens
before And he's like, hey, we got to break these down.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
You would have to do.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
I'm like, bro I don't I don't break anything I
don't do no, Like, that's not what I that's not
what I do. Like, that's that's not for me, like
I do right, like I buy the chicken in his
pieces already, Like I'm not, No, I'm not. I did
not go to the CIA. I am not a culinary expert.
I'm not breaking down animals with.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
A cleaver like going to this. That's what I mean.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
And Yeah, every now and again, these cooking videos will
come up and it's like, you know, I'm going, I'm good,
Like just give me a little breast, Like just give
me the breast and I will cook that. And even
that is a little too tactile for me. Chicken grosses
me out. Yeah, really, every time I make chicken at
the house, I'm like, I could be a vegetarian. I
could easily be a vegetarian. I had to take bones
out of size the other day for my boyfriend who cooks,

(10:18):
and you wouldn't have survived that. No, I'm not a surgeon.
I'm not in an operating room playing bingo.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
I'm not.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
It was toughs not happening, and a lot of restaurants
the kitchen doesn't work gloves, oh, because it's actually less sanitary.
According to one texter, also, just don't ask for lemons
in your drink.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
I do, what do you mean, Jason?

Speaker 2 (10:42):
But they're always like out, So like all that fruit
is just like sitting sitting out. Yeah it's a lemon.
It's actually a cidic does doesn't kill stuff. But anyway, yeah,
but like I don't.

Speaker 4 (10:53):
Know, you know, sweet stuff flies like just sitting out,
Like it's literally just sitting at the bar.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
Tons of people are just walking past. It's just there.

Speaker 3 (11:02):
I don't breathing on it reaching across the.

Speaker 1 (11:06):
Hold test.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
This is Chili's secret, now do I do? I want
to hear this because I really like Chili's tests, so
I don't.

Speaker 3 (11:14):
I wish we didn't see the name exactly around here.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
There isn't one really close to us here like there
obviously in the city there is, but like there isn't
one in the you know, downtown area. So it's almost
like a like a like a what it was the
way I'm.

Speaker 1 (11:28):
Looking for delicacy almost.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
Yeah, like when I'm when I'm in the suburbs and
I see one, I'm tempted to pull over every time.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
So don't ruin it for me.

Speaker 5 (11:36):
Tests, Okay, well, I used to work Good Chili's when
I was in high school. I'm now graduated from college.
And uh, when we do like utensils at the end
of the day, grab all the clean ones from the
dishwasher and just like they have rice and stuff and
sometimes they get stuck in the fork. I would put
the like put it back in the wash, but old

(11:57):
mostly like every other coworker would just see her nail
and scoop the rice out and then pack it in
the bag. Like.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
No, I don't know who that's worse for me or
you having to wed your nail into get nasty food.
Oh my god, I wouldn't I put it right back.
I do that at home. Like if I don't get
a piece of food off and it's still there, I
just keep washing the same item until the food comes off.

(12:27):
No way, all right, Jess, I don't know about that.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
Have a good day. Oh boy. I'm a contractor for USPS.
Every single package has been airborne anywhere from five to
seventy feet Oh what like like thrown or something. I mean,
I wasn't a plane, I guess.

Speaker 1 (12:48):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
Yeah, I'm not sure, but it okay. So it's been
tossed and maybe caught gingerly and maybe not. Well, if
you listen to this show, you know there are very
few secrets because the whole thing sort of comes together
live on the air, you know. With Yeah, there's a
there's an incredible amount of preparation that comes into us

(13:08):
just throwing it together every morning.

Speaker 3 (13:10):
You don't want to tell them about that thing you do,
which thing, Which are the things?

Speaker 4 (13:14):
I think? The thing you do before we go in there,
the thing I did, the thing, well, that's that's private.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
That's that's between me and apparently all of you. It's
different than the thing Jason does for you.
