get filled in on tomorrow, Heather. Thank god we weren't involved in that
fricacy, that fracacy on Black Friday, with the traffic and the malls and
the shopping and the nightmare. Idon't go. I don't do that like
I don't shop Black Friday. Idon't shop Cyber Monday. Maybe a small
business Saturday if I'm thinking about lovethat idea, But I don't shop like

(00:45):
that, a shop as I wantto. Yeah, I heard about it
on Saturday, about the Black Fridayproblems that they were having outside the Rent
Them outlets and the Natick mall outthere. People would like sitting in line
for two hours to get off offour ninety five to go to rent Them
only to figure out, well,maybe I'll go to Natick instead, Maybe
the lines will be shorter there.But According to my next door neighbor,

(01:06):
the lines on Route nine to andfro to get off at them all there
at Speen Street were just as bad. I just don't know, like two
hours, who's sitting in that.Let me remind you today's cyber Monday,
as you just brought up. Sincetwo thousand and five, you can avoid
all that. It's the second biggestshopping holiday of the year. Is today
Cyber Monday, So you can justsit back online And according to the National

Retail Federation, yes, it isthe second biggest shopping day and biggest day
for online sales. So all kindsof stuff going on out there. But
you know, I'm not going tosit there and doom scroll through all the
different sites. But I did findthis page wired dot com that has everything
broken up. If you're planning ondoing your cyber shopping today, everything from
broken up. Well, it's brokenup by categories fifty bucks an under for

(01:51):
your holiday shopping, phones, tablets, smart watch deals. I'm just not
into buying people, not crap,but I'm just not into buying people things.
Yeah, Like I don't know anybodythat wants things anymore. Everybody's like
drowning in their own things. Yeah, like your everyone's homes are filled with
just like, no one can takea picture of their kitchen without having just

slash. You don't make another kissFarewell Tour. Well, you don't have
to go to the but you couldcome to a holiday party. I'll tell

(10:03):
you what I think they're doing anugly sweater party here. In a couple
of weeks, I saw a reallygood ugly sweater at a after Thanksgiving party
this year. It was Tito's Ohit's ugly Christmas sweater. Yes, it
wasn't real ugly, but it wasyou know that style. I thought to
myself, Yes, let's do that. I'm not going to give mine away.

(10:24):
I've already got the ugly sweater andit just might be more ugly than
ever this season for one particular reason. That's all I'm gonna say. Oh
my god, you got spoiler alertA mac Jones Ugly sweater. Is it
just a Mac Jones jersey? Isthat your ugly sweater? Because that would
be super funny. Don't be surprisedif you see those at are our iHeart

(10:45):
holiday party here? But have youever been to any corporate or you know,
company holiday party nightmares or just uncomfortablesituations. No, I'll tell you
what. As a teacher, ourholiday parties were the best. We would
go to like a I don't know. We would just go to a building
that was like easy to rent,and we would all just drink and have
a great time. Sometimes roll downa hill drunk in the snow. Those

(11:09):
were my favorites. But she didn'thave like a wild open orgies or anything
like that at your holiday party stationin Poughkeepsie got got a little creepy.
Those were casino nights. Oh thosegot crazy. I'll take you out to
La Superior Court where this week theyhad a holiday party. Well last December

(11:30):
they were. And this former TacoBell employee Yes is suing the company and
a franchise owner after she claims atlast year's holiday party, she walked up
to their Taco Bell that she worksat, only to find all the doors
and windows had been taped off withpaper so you couldn't see in. Okay,
And when she went in there,she saw that supervisors were providing unlimited

(11:54):
alcohol to staffers, several of whomwere over served. And she said the
cameras were covered up and it wasShe didn't expect any kind of shenanigans like
this. It was apparently a potluckstyle buffei. So she brought a big
bowl at guacamole with her. Okay, did I mention she works at Taco
Bell, They probably have it there, but she brought this bowl with her.
So she said things got really worse, and things got weird when she

(12:16):
noticed her co workers engaging in opensex in front of everyone at the party.
Oh, I've never been that drunk. I never wanted to see that
here or yeah, I know,or at any other holiday party. So
managers were going at it, employeeswere going at it. This guy and
his wife started going at it.So she says she was shocked, disgusted,
and outrage that she had to beselected to this. But it was

(12:39):
a potluck. So she went backinside to retrieve her bowl, only to
find that somebody had vomited on himinto it. So I pretty much categorized
this as one of the worst holidayparties. Yeah, I have been at
a party where someone puked into thedip bowl. Oh yeah, but it
wasn't a holiday party. It wasjust a work party. Yeah, and
it was a spouse of someone andthey said, oh, it's because I

(13:01):
have a weak heart. So thetwo that were going at it, I
guess got fired after this incident.But she says Taco Bell and the franchise
e quote did nothing about the threatsand instead told her they were transferring her
to a new location rather than disciplinethe employees. So, lawsuit, what
are we awarding this young lady forher troubles and punitive damages? Nothing?
She got another job. You thinkshe's going to get six figures out of

(13:24):
it, a new bowl, hopefullya new bowl at Guacamole. Yes,
but I think yes, years ofit. Taligat Boston's Plastic Round one hundred
point seven w zlex Kitty Young Heatherforward with you nine to fifty two in
this Monday Morning. Well, Imean, you'd have to take a lot
of lessons to play like Kirk Hammett, but maybe you'd be able to sound
a little more unlike him. He'sjust dink to deal with epavone for his

(13:48):
kirk Hammet Greeny less Paul's standard,a collaboration between he and the Gibson Custom
Shop based on the Peter Green fiftynine less Paul that he had acquired.
He actually had it was. Iwant to say, it's one of the
most expensive guitars ever put on saleand Kirk Hammett got his hands on it

(14:09):
from Gary Moore. I'm understanding he'shad it for like three decades. So
you can you can get the epiphoneKirk Hammett's signature model Greenie all right,
for a little less than that sixfigures that he got it for this This
one's only fifteen hundred for that musicianon your gift giving list this holiday season.
So you have that going for you. But we can at least save

(14:30):
you a little money, not withmusical instruments, but with tickets, all
right. So we have five opportunitiesevery weekday this week when him before he
can buy him for the Stones comingto Jillette Stadium May thirtieth. We've already
dished out two pairs here today,Heather. Yeah. We dished out a
pair to Jared who was very surprised. Yeah, like almost like you didn't
know how to respond to us,almost like he wasn't sure why he was
calling. And then when we toldhim, you just want Stones tickets,

(14:54):
no money, excited at that point. But prior to that, he's like,
hi, like he was questioning us, he was questioning you, I
really have tickets to that show hasn'teven gone on sale till Friday tending.
