A digital payment software giant company is named Stripe, accidentally
sent a PDF image of a cartoon duck like cartoon duck. Yeah,
they they had to lay off, well, they decided to
lay off about three hundred employees.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Ah boy.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
And somehow, in this little layoff email that they were
going to send out to everybody, because they apparently couldn't
do it in person, of course, not to add an
even further act of cowardice, they accidentally that's what they're saying.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
It was an accident.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
They accidentally set a picture in this email of a duck.
And I have the picture and I can tell you
it's a duck. It's a cartoon duck, the yellow duck,
and that probably was like if you got laid off
and they just sent you a random.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Picture of a duck, Like yeah, it probably.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
So so yeah, so why did they this? Obviously when
viral because people are like, what the heck's is all about?
Or like, did did they claim responsibility for this?
Speaker 1 (01:41):
They let's see.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Stripe confirmed that the inclusion of the duck image occurred
in error and was not intended to soften the blow
of the termination, as some social media users suggested. So
they just yeah, they've confirmed they didn't mean to do it.
Sorry about that, you know, are bad, I guess. But
three Enno people are out of a job and they
and in the email termination of their job, they got
a nice little PDF image of a cartoon duck and
(02:03):
it's it's it's uh, it's what you'd expect in a
yellow cartoon duck.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Have you ever sent something you didn't mean to? Uh? Yeah, yeah,
yeah at one time.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
I'm pretty careful these days because this stuff lives on forever.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
But you know, I got a work text one time
from a guy and it was something I messed up,
and I accidentally fat fingered my response and sent him
a gift of like a Corvette doing spine Like, I
don't even know how it happened. It happened so fast,
and I was just like, ignore that car. I'm so sorry.
I'll be in later to fix my mistake.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
It's funny. Yeah, it was bad. It's bad news, all right.
Well he could see.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Oh yeah, well this company stripe just because they are
a bunch of jerks and stuff.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
I think it's a hilarious thing to do. Honestly. Well,
we should normalize duck PDFs. But you know they have
to get it here.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Yeah, let's let's you know what, let's let's make this
the international sign of uh, you failed at your job,
so you get enough and you're fired.

you know, collecting stuff, why would you do it?
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Well?
Speaker 2 (03:09):
A woman has discovered that her late grandmother had a
salt and pepper shaker collection. Guess how many pieces? How
many salt and pepper shakers do you think that she
had collection pepper shakers? I'll guess like a solid forty.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Seven and fifty. Wow.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
She died at the age of eighty and began her
collection in her mid forties. So yeah, it tells you
how long it was, and it has a ton of variety.
And one of the most valuable pieces is a vintage
hanging strawberry salt and shaker set, estimated to be worth
one hundred and fifty to two hundred dollars alone. Now,
who the heck knows here one of them. Her granddaughter
(03:48):
says she had a shaker for every occasion in interest,
whether it was Christmas, Halloween, or even quirky souvenir from
her travels. But her favorite one was the one that
my dad hand carved using the deer antler when he
went deer hunting.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
That's good stuff. Now, of course, this is.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
You know, one of the things that you look at
you're just like, why would you possibly want to collect
these things for any reason other than just to enjoy them.
She just enjoyed them. She just liked them, you know what.
And they may be worth a little bit of money,
but you know what, Collecting is good.
Speaker 1 (04:18):

replace for like on a typical like collecting level.

What bird watch? There's an app called the Merlin App.
You can have the Merlin app and you can literally
go and like watch birds. And you know how many
new birds I got when I was in Florida. A
lot of new birds. It's like ibises and in different
types of pigeons and goals and stuff that you just
don't see here. And it's like, uh, you got to
(05:08):
catch them all like Pokemon, right, So you know, it's
just like it's fun to watch the birds and then
try to attract different birds to your house. So I
feel like I'm getting that collector bit, but you know
how many things that I have to keep around the house.
