Speaker 1 (00:00):
Joe Show is live on ninety three three FLZ. And
it may be cold in Tampa Bay, but let me
tell you something. We had to travel up to Detroit
for work. So we're broadcasting in the iHeart Detroit Studios
right now, and it's a lot older. So my fiance,
she works in downtown Tampa. She'd sent me a picture.
(00:21):
She's in her office building and they're all wearing coats.
Still listen. It's gonna snow where we are in ten minutes,
believe it or not. We'll take a picture. If you've
never seen snow, I'll take a picture and send it
to you. We're here for iHeartRadio's jingle Ball. We've talked
about it a lot the last couple of days. So
if you're already annoyed with me, you can send me
(00:41):
a DM and say, shut up about it. I don't
want to hear it anymore. But I got another story
that I want to tell with it. Love EJ. It's
like listening to EJ every night, so EJ is here
as well. And we were talking about the clothes we
were going to wear tonight for the event and all
of that, and you know, EJ's on every radio station
(01:03):
for iHeart. So he travels around the whole entire country
in December and does all these shows. And with that, listen,
at the end of the day, you do kind of
need to dress nice. Our company takes a ton of pictures.
They post it on the company page, which has millions
of followers. So you do you get a little vain
and not in the negative sense.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
You just you all look your best.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
You gotta look your best. And EJ told me that
he will buy the clothes, and he purposely buys clothes
that are made to be returned. And what that is
is it's the clothes that have tags on the inside,
not the outside. So he leaves the tags on and
(01:44):
he'll return him after every show. Eight hundred and four
oh nine ninety three ninety three.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Do you do that?
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Are you a serial return? Is that something that you
are doing when you go to maybe work events, or
maybe you just do it in your normal life. Maybe
you got a birthday over the weekend, so you want to,
you know, look all nice for that, but then you
return the clothes.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Maybe you want to go all out for Gasparilla next month,
and you're like, it's a little price you i'mna have
to return a hat and the jacket.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
But that to me is nuts because, like especially Gasparilla,
I wear a pirate outfit every year. It's the same
pirate outfit. And the beauty of a pirate outfit is
is that it can get messed up. You can spill
on it, you can stain it, you can do all
because you're a pirate. So it almost adds more character
to it. If I'm looking to return my jacket or
(02:38):
I'm looking to return my coat or a hat, how
do I even have fun at Gasparilla? I'm gonna spill
on it.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Oh, some people really just want to go for the
looks and the pictures.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
I'm saying, though, oh you can't. I mean, then there's
no fun. Yeah, I kind of agree with Joe. And
also it's Gasparilla. I'm willing to bet that there's maybe
one single human being that just showing up to take
a picture. Everyone else we're having fun. It's a national holiday.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
True, But ej is the reason why I I mean,
you do the same thing. I washed my clothes before
I wear them, simply because I mean, you're going to events.
You're probably going to birthday parties, social events, and you're
wearing these clothes and bringing them back, but you're sweating
in them, your body fluids are getting on them.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
So I did this with a pair of pants once.
I did this with a pair of pants.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Or it was actually at our coworker Nick Wise's wedding. Uh.
I wore pants and then I put them back on
Amazon and kept the tag on in the inside of them.
But what I didn't realize is that you really do
screw over like small businesses when you do this on Amazon.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Because yeah, I think, so, go grab her and right
after you explain your Amazon.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
So the reason why, uh, it screws over like small
businesses because there's certain products where people like they do
running a business out on through Amazon. So one, they're
not like these big corporations who if you return something,
the big corporation can kind of eat the cost. But
if I'm buying two hundred and three hundred dollars worth
of clothing and that's supporting a small business that just
(04:09):
happens to be on Amazon, if you return it worn
and used, they can't resell that and make any money
off it. They're out the three hundred dollars that they
would more likely profit off of and said, all right.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
So Bianca is walking in which you can listen to
Bianca on my dad's radio show Mojo in the morning. Bianca,
we're talking about how EJ is returning his clothes after
jingle ball.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
Oh and I've heard that you do this.
Speaker 6 (04:35):
Oh my gosh, I do this all the time.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
And actually, now that you come in here and I'm
looking at.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
You, happy birthday twenty three today?
Speaker 5 (04:45):
Did you get a birthday outfit?
Speaker 7 (04:46):
Or y?
Speaker 6 (04:47):
You never turning it right?
Speaker 2 (04:48):
You SERI it? You have no shame.
Speaker 8 (04:50):
No, I live off Amazon return the thirty day return policy.
I actually bought a shirt to go to the Tripissans
game last week. I asked him what the return policy is?
Seven days? I'm returning it after me.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Yeah, just said something about Amazon and small businesses.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
So you screw over small businesses because of this. Think
about all the like mom and pop stores that are
on Amazon, right, Like, say you buy clothes from them,
you wear it right, and then Bianca returns it. Now
they're out all that money that they thought they were
gonna make because you were got out sweating in it
and because you not returned it, She's.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Like, whooped you do?
Speaker 8 (05:20):
Well, I'm considering Amazon a big corporation, I don't think
what's that guy's name who owns it?
Speaker 6 (05:30):
He does not care about my twenty dollars return policy.
Speaker 8 (05:33):
Honestly, sometimes I return things and then I don't know
how to return it.
Speaker 6 (05:36):
They just pay me back. Are you serious? You're a
year for jingle Ball.
Speaker 8 (05:39):
By the way, I returned my outfits, so I were
a really cute outfit and I'm returning it. Same thing
with my offin and warn't today I'm really a really
cute outfit and I'm returning out that is really cute,
and I'm returning it because I'm never gonna wear it again.
It's so pointless to keep an outfit or keep clothes
that you're only gonna wear once. I I mean, that's
don't you agree? I know, I don't agree.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
My closet is filled with things I bought for jingle
Ball because yeah, I kind of I kind of, yeah,
kind of dressed.
Speaker 8 (06:05):
Everything, everything I wore for your dad's Hall of Fame event,
everything I wore for Halloween every year, and that'suff always
gets returned. I'm never closet empty. Well, no, it's just
basically I actually wear the same clothes. Like every day
because I have no clothes.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
More cartoon characters.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
Is your name? Mar mar A?
Speaker 4 (06:25):
Hi?
Speaker 7 (06:25):
Mar how are you?
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Life is fantastic when I get to talk to you.
You're on with Bianca. Say happy birthday to Bianca real quick?
Can you say happy birthday to Bianca?
Speaker 4 (06:37):
Happy birthday?
Speaker 6 (06:38):
I appreciate you. Man.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
Do you do you do that? Uh? Do you return
these clothes?
Speaker 7 (06:44):
So?
Speaker 4 (06:45):
There have been sometimes where I pack sixteen different outfits
and then.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
I hate them. So then I run the target real quick,
I'll get that outfit and.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
At the end I end up returning it.
Speaker 7 (06:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
I always feel terrible because it's like I just wore
this outfit.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
And not someone else has to wear it after I work.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
I don't sweat like my butt is sweating right now.
Speaker 6 (07:06):
No, honestly, it doesn't matter exactly.
Speaker 8 (07:09):
Listen, it doesn't matter. And honestly, probably close you by
probably have been.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Warm before we watched them, before we put them on.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
I don't ever wash clothes.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I mean you don't because you're turning.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Thank you, Mark, April April, you you have someone that's
exactly like Bianca.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
They take advantage of the Amazon returns.
Speaker 7 (07:30):
Yes, So anything that they may have that breaks, they'll
go on Amazon find the exact same attomn and then
just turn the broken autumn or something that doesn't work,
and they'll send it back and they give their money back.
Speaker 8 (07:47):
Sometimes with skincare, if I run out of like my
face moisturizer, I'd buy anyone on Amazon return the old
face moisturizer that's empty.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
It's crazy scamming.
Speaker 8 (08:00):
And I also just bought a tag gun, so even
if I want to rip off the tags.
Speaker 6 (08:04):
I can retag my tag gun.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Oh my goodness, hey, let me use that.
Speaker 6 (08:10):
I got you for real.
Speaker 7 (08:12):
I don't have I don't have the guts to do it.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
I was praying out, Oh my gosh, No, I retagged.
Speaker 7 (08:17):
I can't stand.
Speaker 6 (08:18):
I retagged a winter coat. I retagged the retag winter
coat is crazy? You mean that every winter?
Speaker 7 (08:24):
No?
Speaker 6 (08:24):
And I know Raley House has also to twenty day
return days, so you can be wearing off for four
months and then return and I abided by that. That's it,
don't you guys.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
Don't keep it? Do you keep a calendar of No?
Speaker 8 (08:47):
I take a picture of when I bought the outfit,
so I know how many days I have until I
got a return it. And I know you're jealous of me,
so I know you're start taking notes too. Jealousy doing this.
She's gonna hay on me, but she's gonna start doing it.
Speaker 5 (08:58):
I'm taking notes. I am to be doing it.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
So Bianca went to confession two weeks ago. She told
me earlier today she needs to go to confession once.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
Afterwards, it's not considered stealing, it's considered borrowing.
Speaker 5 (09:08):
Is that what it is exactly
Joe Show is live on ninety three three FLZ. And
