my mistakes and I love my triumphs because without all
of that, you don't make up what you are.

Speaker 2 (06:37):

Speaker 1 (06:41):
Yeah, he said, I wonder if I counted out my
mistakes from the things that you know, how many mistakes
I've made? Wow? How many triumphs? How many goals? Does
that lead to? From the mistakes you made? How does
that connect on the little map of life? Right there?
Now we're getting deep. All right, that's too deep for
you right now? Too deep deep. It's easy to pronounce, though,

(07:04):

Speaker 1 (08:16):
I wish I had a came roller for that one
right there? All right, all right, sports gig right before
eight o'clock. This is Pearl Jam and Naughty a Rock
John for Heyja in the morning Quickie on nainety a
Rock brought Barjo for second. The weather high eighty four
feels good. Sixty seven is the low. Humidity is going
up a little bit, but we're still enjoying this nice

(08:37):
little streak of weather. Not a lot of rain involved
there a j good morning.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
Hey, good morning, and Tampa firefighters battled a fire last
night at the building that once housed Pups Pub. It
was a popular Tampa dog bar right over off of
Kennedy Boulevard, but ended up closing down back in June.
Now officials said it was a second alarm fire as
they did request additional resources to its intensity and the
multiple exposures around the building like the Circle K that's

(09:04):
right next door, as well as the apartment building right
next to it as well.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
Familiar with that.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
Yeah, so they had to evacuate everything. I mean, I'm
not too far in that area, and yeah, I heard
the heard the the fire trucks, and you know, everybody
headed towards it. We wondered what was going on and
was a total loss or that was that? Now the
fire was brought under control within thirty minutes of the
crews arriving. They're still surveilling everything. No word and what
the cause was just yet or if it was a
total loss. Yeah, one can assume though me.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
And Prince used to throw them down over there at
Pup's Pub. Yeah, during football season.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
There would do is a handful of times good, good place. Man.
It was it was awesome. A federal judge in San
Francisco temporarily blocked the Trump administration from firing workers during
the government shut down. The judge said the job cuts
seemed politically motivated and were being done without much planning,
and granted a temporary order stopping the layoffs that the

(10:00):
cuts appear to be legal now. Federal agencies started sending
out layoff notices on Friday as part of an effort
to make the government smaller as well as pressure Democrats.
According to the article, they said that more than ten
thousand workers could be layoff laid off and federal labor
unions did ask the judge to stop the administration from

(10:20):
sending new layoff notices. We'll keep you updated on that. Meanwhile,
following the success of the first two Iron Maiden getting
a third volume in the official Iron Maiden coloring books series,
This one is going to is designed specifically to celebrate
their fiftieth anniversary and their Run for Your Lives tour.

Speaker 1 (10:43):

sending their coloring yeah. Probably.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
It'll feature iconic artwork and instantly recognizable images, all printed
on high quality paper. Looking forward to that one. It'll
be coming out on November twenty. First, you can definitely
put that one of my stocking stuffers. That'd be awesome,
high quality. Yeah. So Matt and Ross Duffer, they're the
Duffer brothers who are the creators behind Stranger Things, and

(11:11):
to try and come up with the ending of Stranger Things,
they said, well, first and foremost that you know, they
had an idea. They knew what the end scene was
for years, but they want to make sure that this
one doesn't bomb because, let's face it, how many times yeah,
something comes to an end and everybody's like.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
Stranger Things, Man, it's been too good of a trilogy
or whatever you want to call a series there.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
Yeah, funny you mentioned cutting the black because that's actually
one of the things they studied, The Sopranos. They said
that they started studying their favorite series finales when coming
up with just how to end it properly. They studied
the Sopranos, which, in case you missed it, you know,
it just really cuts to black. When the family's there
at the diners, you're left wondering, did they finish their meal,

(11:53):
did Tony get wax? What the hell's going on. They
also studied other film French is like six Feet Under,
as well as Friday Night Lights, just to name a few.

Speaker 1 (12:04):
No, it was good.

Speaker 5 (12:06):
Six Feet Owner is a great show. But I got
the ending everybody dies, just kill everyone.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
That Breaking Bad was a good ending. Actually, don't ruin it.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
That was a hell of it. Right there now, not
much as to be known. We do know that the
show is going to be coming out here soon. We
also know that the final episode is called The Right
Side Up and it'll be about two hours long.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
I'm interested, fully involved, And.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
Finally, a viral rutted thread is calling out the things
that seem sexy in theory, especially after maybe you see
it like in a movie or something, but fail in
real life. Over seventeen hundred people have been chiming in.
For instance, whip cream. You're to put on like a
whip cream bikini, like the what was that? What movie done?

Speaker 5 (12:54):
That's the Varsity Blues for the Monday Blues.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
It's Varsity Blues.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
Yeah, they say it's sex. See it first until you
miss a spot and then you're just really sticky. H
Some other things on there, Adult Time on the Beach, Adult.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
Time on the beach and everywhere that orated right there
for sure.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
Drawing somebody naked, so quote unquote, it's always presented as
this sexy, flirtatious thing. It's not. It's stressful. You don't
even see the person you're drawing as a living, breathing
human anymore. You're focused on not messing up your lines
so then you don't have to start all over again.
And they just go on. They say, it's never easy.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
It's fun for the artists, though. I'm can throw it
out there.

Speaker 5 (13:34):
It's just a stick figure with boobs.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
That's pretty easy. It depends on who's having somebody's having
fun there at that point right there, maybe after the painting.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
Yeah, your first opportunity to win some cash cartage thousand dollars.
Nine ten am when crashing AJ on ninety eight rock
crew on Tampa Bay's rock station. Ninety eight rockets crashed
and AJ And there was a story that came up
earlier this morning. I could not wait to get around
the studio on this particular topic.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
Yeah, about how there's a crazy milestone that's happening. Over
half of online articles, more than sixty percent, are now
written by a I. An SEO firm called Graphie analyzed
over sixty five thousand random articles from the last five
years looking for signs for AI writing, and if their

(16:02):
analyzer showed more than half of an article was AI generated,
they considered it to be written by AI. Well before
chat GPT launched in twenty twenty two, there's basically no
AI writing, or very very little of it. But once
that came out, the gap started immediately closing within a
thirty Within a year, thirty nine percent of all articles
were mostly written by AI. They say, now it's about

(16:24):
what fifty two percent? But here's the thing. A study
in twenty twenty two, when all this started turning around,
predicted that we'd hit ninety percent AI writing by twenty
twenty six, and what do you know, we're on our
way there.

Speaker 1 (16:38):
All My question is does it matter to you? Does
it matter to you whether you're write, you're reading something
that you're interested in. Maybe it's a you know, a
passion you're interested in, Maybe it's a something lifestyle that
you're listening to, you're watching or reading. Does it matter
to you whether it's a human being doing it, you know,
authoring it, creating it, curating.

Speaker 2 (16:59):
It matters if it's you know, with the facts, like yeah,
of course I would prefer rather than somebody losing their
job over something you know that a human write it.
But but you know, I mean, if it's half the time,
we don't even know, Like there's so many companies utilizing
this stuff, like unless you're looking to find like the
dashes are different things or lingo that you see that
AI typically uses. Yeah, it's getting harder and harder to.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
Tell I I don't like it, yeah at all. Yeah,
I don't like it. I'll knowing this now, this information
that's coming in, I will look for a name and
any kind of AI stamp on the article. I just
don't like that trend at all, but interested to see
what everybody else thinks out there about that. Would you
would you read something beforehand if you knew that it

(17:42):
was AI beforehand?

Speaker 2 (17:44):
I mean, I'll definitely read it. I want to see
what it has to say. I want to see if
it's skewing on anything. You know what direction it's going.
Damn right, I'm going to read it.

Speaker 1 (17:51):
Maybe two different articles, yeah, about the same thing.

Speaker 2 (17:54):
Yeah, yeah, human versus AI perspective.

Speaker 1 (17:56):
Yeah, like to get on that ship rock cruise. We've
got a keyword coming up, by the way, a couple
of songs and not ya rock. He's passing on the story.
Fifty two percent of the articles written right now are AI.
And one of the responses I got was from Toby,
one of the guys that play golf with that says,
when they start writing editorials, let me know, no, jeez wow, Yeah,
an AI opinion that you know that's coming. It might

(18:19):
be already a thing.

Speaker 2 (18:19):
Who knows, man, One thing's for sure, though I did
see this was it. Major General William Taylor, the top
US Army commander in South Koreina, Korea told reporters this
week that he's been using chat GBT to help make
military and personal and personal decisions. Wow yeah, he says.
He uses the AI chat bat to build models and
make better decisions for the soldiers under his command. Gece,

(18:43):
all right, I know it's interesting. It's getting all that
information there.

Speaker 1 (18:46):
And you just hope that the information there, given that
he's getting is is accurate and not planted information sometimes
when you, yeah, think about how this stuff can be
even manipulated.

Speaker 2 (18:57):
So well, for sure, I mean so many times, like
I've played around with it, I've messed around with it,
and it'll it'll give you false information. You have to
fact check it a lot. You gotta put it in
its place.

Speaker 1 (19:07):
So doing that exactly from AI, this is amazing.

Speaker 2 (19:13):
If we want to put you in your place.

Speaker 6 (19:15):
Aboard a ship for metal heads, we're talking about ship Rocks,
seven Days Sailing the Bahamas with bands like Motionless and
White Wage War, Alien Nation, Suicidal Tendencies.

Speaker 2 (19:27):
Avatar, Starship, Sleep Theory, from Ashes to New Kitty, just
to name a few. So if you're interested, open up
your phone, all right, go to the free iHeartRadio AP
and drop us this talk pack. It could say anything,
but it has to include this phrase, take me from
a deck, Take me from a desk to the deck.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
All right, take me from a desk to the deck.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
Yeah, to make sure it says that, all right, do
your best, you.

Speaker 1 (19:52):
Do everything else you want it, but just gotta say that, right.

Speaker 2 (19:54):
Yeah, take me from a desk to the deck. Best

Speaker 1 (20:02):
Com Hit on ninety eight Rock on a Friday Eve
with Crash and aj and Friday Eve means three Mississippi
trivia y'all.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
Yes, which it is my turn right now to ask
the question. Of course, what happens within these three Mississippi
Trivia questions? Could landy at the Universal Orlando Halloween Hornet's
tickets and parking past nine point thirty in the Crash
test Now, Crash asked his question earlier. We just did
the coin flip for question number two, right, you called tails,
Crash you won. So you get the option of either

(20:32):
choosing to answer or defer to producer X.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
I will I want to hear the question first, okay,
and then I will decide whether I wanted to defer
to my opponent.

Speaker 2 (20:40):
All right, as Producer X shakes his head, now, all right,
well today my question is an honor of Global Cat Day,
which so too many of these and kiddies and cats
are available for adoption across the Bay Area. If you're
thinking about adopting one or purchasing one, make sure you
go check out the adoption center nearest you. So, without
further ado, question number two. In ancient Egypt, what was

(21:04):
the penalty for killing a cat even accidentally? Was it
a exile from the city for one year, followed by
a hefty fine, b execution ce lifelong enslavement to the
cat's owner or the temple, or d a punishment of
one hundred lashes with a whip and a mandatory period

(21:26):
of mourning.

Speaker 1 (21:29):
Hmmm, you know what, I'm gonna go ahead and pass
this one to produce a REX. But I'm gonna give
you what.

Speaker 3 (21:36):
I mean.

Speaker 5 (21:37):
I would instantly go tit for tat you get.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
Executed if the cat gets executed.

Speaker 5 (21:44):
The lashings kind of crosses my mind, but I'm going
with servitude to the owner for life CEE.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
Final answer see lifelong enslavement to the cat's owner or
temple Betty's incorrect great answer model the right one.

Speaker 1 (22:01):
I'm gonna which one is throw you out of the village.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
That was a exile for the city from one year,
followed by a hefty fine.

Speaker 1 (22:08):
Yeah, I'm gonna go. You're out of the town for
a little while. You got to get your life together,
come back and then pay us some money because that
was a cat you just killed.

Speaker 2 (22:16):
So that was a kitty cat get out of here.
Great answer, but not the correct one. It was execution
the death penalty for Yeah, it's because for towns, because
of the cat's sacred association with their goddess Beset. So yeah,
that's why once you see a lot of kitties Egyptian ards,
but get four cat.

which had to be very awkward like him, Hi, guys,
anything to two thousand and four, Messi made his debut
for FC Barcelona in a one nothing win. And in
twenty and sixteen, we got a guy named Ed Whitlock.
He became the oldest person to complete a marathon. How

(24:24):
old do you think he was? And how long do
you think it took him? That's not that's a trivia question,
but not a sanctioned one.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
I'm going eighty ish and I'm going five hours.

Speaker 5 (24:36):
It was he's eighty five years old and he finished
in three hours and fifty six minutes. Wow, some four
hours at eighty five.

Speaker 1 (24:45):
Oh my god, that's amazing. I don't want to know
what my time would be if I ran on four
k exactly exactly. It was the Toronto Waterfront Marathon.

Speaker 2 (24:52):
Wow a marathon?

Speaker 1 (24:54):
Wow? Wait twenty six miles or something like that.

Speaker 2 (24:58):
Hey, congratulations are in order to had Tampa Bay Rays
infielder Taylor Walls, who's been named one of three American
League finalists for a Rawlings Gold Globe Award at shortstop.
Now he was in one hundred and one games, but
his eighteen defensive runs saved were the third most saved
among Major league infielders, and he also tied sixth for

(25:18):
most saved most saved among all fielders, which, by the way,
this is his second time being named a Gold Glove
finalist and he's attempting to become the very first raised
middle infielder to win the.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
Award and a switch hitter on top of all that, So.

Speaker 2 (25:33):
Wishing him as best. Hopefully he'll be taking that award
home on November two, when it's announced during ESPN's Baseball Tonight.
So last night, the MLB Playoff Action featured only one
game in the American League and it was the American
League Championship Series, with the Blue Jays beating the Mariners
thirteen to four. You've had five home runs from the

(25:54):
Blue Jays, yeah, which finally got them on the board
after they dropped the first couple of games. The Mariners
still lead the best of the seven series at two
to one. Course they face off Game four tonight eight
thirty pm, eight thirty three, and then tonight you also
have the Brewers taking on the Dodgers in l a
Dodgers lead that series two and zero their game first

(26:15):
pitch six, eight pm.

Speaker 1 (26:16):
The two hats that own are the Blue Jays. Right now,
I'm barring one of those, and I'm gonna go with
the Milwaukee hat as well.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
Go Dodgers because of your uncle, Go Dodgers. Where the
Dodgers hat for beats?

Speaker 1 (26:29):
Nobody likes hat? What's going on.

Speaker 2 (26:34):
Right?

Speaker 1 (26:34):
Burn it all? Which?

Speaker 2 (26:36):
You know what yesterday somebody yelled go Cogs and uh
Popo Leo as he drove through the Vatican in the
uh in the popemobile. But you know Popolio is an
avid White Sox fan. You know what his reply was, well,
in Spanish.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
Flip them off.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
They lost love that guy.

Speaker 1 (26:54):
He had a private conversation with God later that night
about him, probably down down below where you can see
his hand as he flipping them off right there. That
A never love that.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
I love that he keeps the rival of your awry,
you know, despite being being the pope. Meanwhile, the Tampa
Bay Lightning, you know, they claim veteran goaltender Phoenix cop
Lef Waivers on October second. They did it as insurance
due to what was going on with Vassi. Well, guess
what now, They traded him back to the Kings for
future considerations, which, hey, looks good because that means it
seems that Vassi seems to be doing pretty good. Which,

(27:26):
by the way, his best game thus far was on Tuesday,
so gotta love that. Meanwhile, the Bolt's going to be
back on the ice tomorrow versus Detroit.

Speaker 5 (27:36):
It's gonna be weird for that guy to get picked
up again. We want you on the teams.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
He's always going to have a carry on with him
at all time.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
Well, we've got some other injuries and things happening right
now too, so they feel confident with Vassi's health, so
they got to, you know, look for defense right now. Meanwhile,
UF's athletic director Scott Strickland apparently met with a handful
of influential boosters on Tuesday and was told allegedly the
continuing financial support depends a new direction within the football program. Apparently,

(28:07):
three people would direct knowledge of the situation spilled the
beans on this one. They spoke on the condition of
anonanimity to protect the process. But they say that he
could be fired as soon as this weekend. But one
thing is certain, he will not survive another loss, spilling
nap here, I'd coach for you as football.

Speaker 1 (28:25):
Got a twenty million dollars buyout, Well must be nice.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
Yeah, I was looking at that. It would be paid
in installments, so if he gets luck go, half of
the money would be paid within thirty days of separation,
and then equal payments of twelve point five percent annually
over the next four years.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
Can you really call that being fired?

Speaker 3 (28:41):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (28:41):
Be honest with you.

Speaker 5 (28:42):
They don't even give him the money up front, Like,
you know what, here, here's a four year salary.

Speaker 2 (28:46):
I mean they do, yeah, ten million up front and
then there you go.

Speaker 1 (28:51):
One thing I got out of this these radio contracts.
Think that's all I'm saying. Even na, wait, you guys
got contract.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
Congratulations to Jamel Dean, who was named the NFC Defensive
Player of the Week. Oh yeah in Week six against
the forty nine ers, he became the first quarterback in
the NFL since Week seven of twenty twenty four to
record an interception, a sack, and the force fumble all
in one game, and that sack was his first of
his career. How old is that He's also the second

(29:22):
Tampa Bay player to win a Player of the Week
award this season. Cameron Johnson won it in Week one
as Special Teams Player of the Week.

Speaker 1 (29:30):
If you follow the story he took it went from
twelve million dollars a year cut to four point twenty
five million dollars a year. It's incentives to bet on
himself to have a good year.

Speaker 2 (29:40):
It's working so far.

Speaker 1 (29:41):
He's looking good right now.

Speaker 2 (29:43):

Speaker 1 (30:11):
With crash, It's called Florida, not Florida. We got a
contestant on the line here and what is your name?
See where you call it from?

Speaker 2 (30:24):
I am from landa Lake. Nice well welcome and speaking
of checks, I mean, as long as the checks keep coming,
why not putend to not see a problem, right, That
was the thought process of today's superstar, a seventy year
old man who's accused of pretending to be completely blind
for fifty three years wow, while collecting over one point

(30:46):
one million in disability payments. See it all started when
he was declined declared blind after a work accident more
than fifty years ago, and it's been receiving benefits ever since. Now,
cops speak suspicious, So they started running checks on his case,
and they decided to follow him for two months. During

(31:07):
this time, they caught him on video doing gardening work
with dangerous tools on supervise.

Speaker 1 (31:13):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (31:13):
They also busted him shopping at the market while carefully
looking at products. Oh what the ingredients on this one?
Right here? When blind, and also moving around the city
without any help. And get this, he was also filmed
paying with cash by himself. Oh wait, where's the one
on this? Where's the fun?

Speaker 1 (31:33):
Is any brailing that money? Right there?

Speaker 2 (31:35):
I mean, that's what I was wondering. Maybe he was
counting and he had him you know, knew how much
was where? I guess?

Speaker 5 (31:41):
Not waiting for them to bust him at a library
reading the kids.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
The only thing left I don't know, maybe just had
selective site going on.

Speaker 1 (31:50):
All right, you know, I need the same group to
follow Stevie Wonder. I'm just saying, I'm just putting it
out there, right, all right, So there you got? All right?

Oh?

Speaker 5 (32:22):
No?

Speaker 3 (32:26):
All right?

Speaker 5 (32:26):
How often do you think he was pretending to be blind,
like just because he knew somebody was watching.

Speaker 1 (32:31):
I mean the checks were coming, man, checks were coming.

Speaker 2 (32:33):
I don't know.

These guys are alumni. Matter of fact, a few years
ago Chili Pepper's Crashing ed Jay, Thank you man. I'm
down for Jay in the morning Quickie on ninety eight
Rock brought you by for Did you not turn off
this weather? It's all I'm saying, I'll turn it off.
It is high maybe six to day currently sixty eight
degrees and let's going to be that way for the
next few days. There is a lingering chance of scattered

(34:12):
sun showers, which I don't mind their age.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
Good morning, Hey, good morning crash. And the city at
Clearwater just approved an extra one hundred thousand dollars towards
learning about starting their own power company. Yeah, they're getting
one step closer to maybe pulling the plug on Duke Energy.
They say this extra few would take the existing contract
of the feasibility study to the appraisal process, which the

(34:34):
council voted to move last month. Now, the money, they
say is coming from special project revenues and will not
have any impact on the city budget, utility rates, none
of that stuff. Now, if the appraisal comes back and
the council doesn't like what they see, they can still
continue to pivot.

Speaker 1 (34:51):
Somebody's on YouTube. I figure this out. So this how
you start up you're an electric company? Thee wyatt a
little cheaper, all right.

Speaker 2 (35:00):
So fallowout Boy has released a new version of It
Feels Like Christmas. It's currently as a Spotify holiday single,
and the original appeared in them Up at Christmas Carol.
But now they've got a rock and roll twist to it,
and even towards the end. It is really impressive. You
hear Kermit the voice Kermit d fraud, But it turns
out it's not really him. It's one of the band
members actually saying that. So I'm just like, yeah, he does.

Speaker 5 (35:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (35:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (35:27):
It will be available for you to purchase though, and
it'll be coming out is part of the twentieth anniversary
edition of Fallout Boys album From Under the Cork Tree,
which drops tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (35:35):
It's Pete Wentz's got's a base VIRTUEO so which you
just said it? So easy? All right?

Speaker 5 (35:44):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (35:45):
One things for sure. The Anniversary Edition will be available
in several formats, including three record deluxe box sets. There's
two CD block sects, even digital versions.

Speaker 1 (35:57):
We should come out with their very own Christmas song
US three.

Speaker 2 (35:59):
Oh sure, yeah yeah, a lot of good ones coming
out now. I mean you just had a Taylor Mobson
dropping her pretty reckless Christmas which is pretty awesome too.

Speaker 1 (36:07):
A little ep why not us?

Speaker 3 (36:09):
Ey? Right?

Speaker 2 (36:10):
So can you imagine Yoda as any other color than green?

Speaker 1 (36:14):
Mmmm? If I had another color, what other color would
you want him?

Speaker 2 (36:18):
Well, apparently he was originally going to be blue or purple,
and that's right up to the final screenplay for The
Empire Strikes Back, which described him as blueish. Now even wilder.
Early concept art for the film had him as light, blue, pink,
and at one point even colorless.

Speaker 1 (36:40):
He is out there in the forest quite a bit.
I'd have guessed white, but yeah, like, no, we can't
make him light. We can't do that.

Speaker 2 (36:46):
And according to a Marvel Comics adaptation of the movie
that also came out in nineteen eighty, it also has
him purple in some scenes with long white hair. Real
clue why he was turned green, but uh, good choice,
excellent choice.

Speaker 1 (37:01):
That'd be good for you to be able to turn
whatever color he wants.

Speaker 2 (37:03):
Yeah, right, he's sort of like a chameleon. Yeah, there
you feeling this way, I'm gonna go to this color.

Speaker 1 (37:08):
We're not directors.

Speaker 2 (37:09):
How about a live action version of the Jetson Jetsons?

Speaker 1 (37:13):
This looks really cool.

Speaker 2 (37:14):
Apparently that's something that could happen in any idea. Who
would be playing George Jetson?

Speaker 1 (37:21):
M George Jetson. There's a lot of cast members that
could cast the who's heard they play?

Speaker 2 (37:26):
Apparently Jim Carrey is in talks to make that happen.
In fact, here's London Music Works instrumental of the theme song.

Speaker 1 (37:38):
So that's the new one you gotta go with, you
know Jane, his wife daughter Judy. Yeah, his boy Elroy
who plays all those good question.

Speaker 2 (37:53):
I didn't want it so much, to be honest with you.

Speaker 1 (37:55):
I thought they would have done this a long time ago.

Speaker 5 (37:57):
Actually, you know, I figured they would have too, and
they really missed. They missed the boat. Who's the Joan
Rivers could have been the robot. Ah, she would have
been a great rosy robot.

Speaker 1 (38:08):
That's for perfect cast members on that. Yeah, that's nice.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
Yeah. And finally, grub Hub says that seventy two percent
of college students have missed a late night delivery order
sometime in their college career because well, they fell asleep.
So now they're offering snooze insurance. They say, if you're
a grub Hub plus student member, they're offering a makeup
meal to replace the one you slept through. Now it's

(38:33):
not built in, you'll have to apply for a code
over the next couple of weeks, but it does give
you a fifteen bucks off a future do over meal.

Speaker 1 (38:42):
Really.

Speaker 2 (38:42):
Yeah. They also say there's a few other perks, some
freer diskind of deliveries, five percent credit on pickup orders,
even flexible payment options that's available for students at more
than four hundred college campuses.

Speaker 1 (38:53):
I can almost hear the adults out. They are going,
I'm a prodults.

Speaker 2 (38:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (38:58):
You know.

Speaker 5 (38:58):
The way I think about it is, it's like you
could just order the meal again. What about the poor
delivery driver there? Get they're not getting tipped on that order,
and then they're gonna then they're gonna have to bring
it back again the next day and do this. Oh many,
you got to take care of those people.

Speaker 1 (39:13):
I think you got to take care of morning radio
people too. I'm assulting. I think we fall asleep a
lot during the day.

Speaker 2 (39:19):
Oh yeah, I've been guilty of that before, falling asleep
and I've missed it.
