The kids these days, with their "micro-retirements."

Chuck, Danielle, and Tyler discuss "micro-retirement," a Gen Z trend where younger folks take time between jobs to focus on mental health, personal fulfillment, and more. Just don't explore this if you're aiming to work for the US postal service, kids. Also, in today's "Am I the A-Hole," if a family buys you a winning lottery ticket, are you obligated to share your winnings with them?

Listen to the Chuck Nowlin Morning Show, weekdays from 6am to 10am on 100.7 WZLX!

Flash floods in Ridoso, New Mexico have killed a four
year old girl, a seven year old boy, and a
man after record breaking waters swept them away. That village
was devastated by wildfires last year and saw the Rio
Redoso rise up to twenty feet, triggering dozens of rescues.
Offici'll say search efforts and damned assessments are ongoing.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
Federal aid requests are now under way.

Speaker 9 (04:50):
Updates in the Central Texas flash flooding situation from the
July fourth weekend have now claimed at least one hundred
and eighteen lives, with around one hundred and eighty people
still missing.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
I heard that number updated.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
Yeah, one eighty still missing, and again every day they
show more and more videos.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
It's crazy. I can't. I just came in. Can't wrap
my head around it.

Speaker 9 (05:10):
No, like so fast, so fast, you don't even have
time to react and running for your life.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (05:16):
I was reading a story last night about a couple
that was at an RV park and they had called
and left voicemails for their kids, and the dad was
basically just like, hey, we're not going to make it,
and the wife is screaming. They found that their dog
at a shelter because they scanned the microchip, so thankfully
the dog is back with the family.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
But these two, they found their bodies.

Speaker 9 (05:35):
They perished and like the family shared a screenshot of
the text message that came in from the warning system
that was like, hey, gather all your things and go
to the nearest wal Mart or church parking lot. And
it was like five the alert was sent like five
minutes after they left. The voicemails basically saying we're dying.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
Oh my god.

Speaker 9 (05:50):
Terrifying, Oh absolutely, terrifying, unbelievable. So as far as Texas goes,
the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country has launched
the Kerk County Flood Relief Fund that will help its affected.
You can donate at community foundation dot net. Locally, seven
Chinese nationals have been indicted for running a sprawling, multimillion
dollar illegal marijuana operation cross Massachusetts and Maine. Already say

(06:12):
the group smuggled Chinese nationals into the US to work
and grow houses hidden in single family homes, with holding
their passports until the smuggling debts were paid. That network
used properly. This thing goes so deep Netflix series. It's
waiting to happen.

Speaker 7 (06:27):
Wait.

Speaker 9 (06:28):
Like, there was a photo of like one of the
houses in Brookline. It's beautiful, gorgeous. You'd never think it
was a grow house. You're like, wow, why is there
pink light emanating from the basement constantly?

Speaker 2 (06:38):
Can you imagine the smell coming out of that house?

Speaker 9 (06:41):
Car filters, a lot of carbon filters on that. They
were using brain treat Melrose and Greenfield as hubs distributing
bulk marijuana throughout the northeast. Six suspects were arrested yesterday.
One remains a fugitive.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
Did anybody tell these guys it's legal though, Well, you
know taxi, you don't need to do it illegally any
Just so you know.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
A lot of people still don't want to pay the taxes.
I guess that's a dispensary on every single corner. You
can't swing a dead cat without hitting one. It's crazy
to go to the medical card taxes. It's like, let
me get two vape pens. Oh, it's six hundred dollars
with the tax. It's for the kids, for the schools.
Come on, it's the fee feed good cause.

Speaker 9 (07:18):
Sixty seven degrees in Boston right now, the high of
seventy one on the way later. It's basically gonna rain
until next Tuesday. I'm Danielle. That's you're download co.

Speaker 5 (07:26):
One hundred point seven seconds of sports with Tyler.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
All Right, socks win Street continues. Guys five straight and
eight of the last ten. Of course they're beating up
on the little giants of baseball, but whatever, we'll take.
The W's offense put up ten runs last night on
eleven hits. Romy Gonzalez went three for four with an RBI.
Jared Durant went two for four with a home run
in two RBI. Roman Anthony had an RBI hit. Those
guys stay hot at the plate. Nice to see that.

(07:50):
But the offensive player of the night, without a doubt,
which Trevor's story. Two for four for RBI and here
is half of them.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
We soar's building another big inning. They scored four.

Speaker 10 (08:00):
Runs last day. Now they've got runners at first and second.
So I got a shot back toward the wall, hid
Trevor Soy with a three run homer.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
I take that back.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
Three of the four RBIs in one shot. All ten
runs came in two innings. Nice job by the offense,
but the star of the night was our guy, Brian
Baio gave up only two runs on five hits and
pitched get ready for it.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
Chuck, a complete game. How rare is.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
That, dude? I didn't even know they knew how to
do this anymore. I was like, all right, great, last
game of the series tonight. At seven to ten, Lucas
Giolito gets the start. Now let's move to our old
friend Raffi devers now making any new friends in San Francisco.

Speaker 7 (08:41):
Chuck.

Speaker 1 (08:41):
He said he was willing to play wherever the Giants wanted.
Wants to play nice in the sandbox. So Giants legend
Will Clark was asked by San Francisco brass to.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
Work with him. I'll let Will Clark explain it.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
We got three cuts to play right now, here's the
first part of the explanation.

Speaker 11 (08:57):
Sa Maatt Wins and Bob Mon want me to go
out there and work with him around first base?

Speaker 3 (09:02):
No problem, And we weren't. We weren't gonna like go
through anything physical. We're just gonna walk through and say, hey,
look if.

Speaker 11 (09:09):
Throw's coming from over there, standing this way, throws coming
from over there staying that way.

Speaker 12 (09:14):
It wasn't gonna be this big thing, right and Friday, Saturday, Sunday,
he did not come out early at all, period.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
Not at all.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
Sounds pretty pissed, right, sounds familiar.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
It sounds familiar, but Will sounds a little pit And
by the way, if you don't know anything about Will Clark,
this dude does not hold his tongue ever.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
Very outspoken guy.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
But then he kind of has Raffie's back a little
bit with this clip.

Speaker 11 (09:38):
I said he didn't want to go out and be
at first base and be twenty feet in front of
their freaking dugout with you know what went on in
Boston and now he's working with me at first base.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
That was when the Red Sox were there, Yes, playing
the Giants, and kind of get that you don't want
to do it in front of them. But then Will
Clark turns into the rock and offers a WWE style statement.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
Listen to this.

Speaker 3 (10:06):
Anyway, so I completely understand.

Speaker 11 (10:08):
But Rafael Devers, next time I'm in San Francisco, your
ass will be on the field at first pace, just
letting me know that.

Speaker 3 (10:16):
Hey, look, even if I gotta go.

Speaker 12 (10:18):
Grab you, but back of the neck and drag your
ass out there.

Speaker 7 (10:22):
You will be at first pace mister d Vers.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
Mister Devers get to first.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
So who wants to mess with Will Clark? I know
I don't. Will Clark is like the David Ortiz of
San Francisco legend.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
Yes, I love him there. He's a legend in my
mind growing up watching baseball. I can't imagine how big
he must be in San Francisco.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
And Deverst blows him off three days in a row.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
If he does it well, he just got to pass.
If he does it again, I think Will Clark will
go WWE and body slammer. We'll see that sports. I'm
Tyler and there is the Drug All the Morning Show
on ZLX Boston Classic Rock one point seven w ZLX.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
For the Chef Nolan Morning Show.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
Followed the Nonsense atzls on Instagram and TikTok.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
If you're going to Family Park tonight to see the
Red Sox finish up their series against the Little League
team for Colorado. As you know, if you enjoyed beer
in a game, you can only get two at a time. Correct,
You're always getting two, right, unless you're second. One token
drink for the entire game. You're you're gonna look at
your friend be like two each.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
You have to you cannot just go and get one beer,
and you have to go together so you can get
four beers. Yeah see, there's a lot of ways around this. However,
somebody feels they have cracked the code. We can get
a lot more than two beers.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
I gotta hear this one. Okay, does he have seven
arms that an air quotes truck. We'll tell you how
it's down done.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
Coming up next after Alice at DLX, it's the Chuck
Nolan Morning Show with Danielle Murr and Tyler Summer vacation
Boston Red Sox up above five hundred right now playing
the Rockies.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
You go to a Red Sox game Family Park, you
enjoy a beer. I gotta admit, if I go to
a game, I'm probably having like four during the game itself,
like eighty dollars worth of beer right there. Easy, you
gotta do some pre gaming. One of the fine establishments
for Family Park. Do you two apps? And yes, do
you get the big ones the bedwetters, like the sixteen

(12:24):
ouncers you gotta get just as absolutely. I didn't know
what your bear intake was at games. I got a
cruise around. I got to try to find the craft
beer because I like that. But there's only like two places,
so you have to It's crazy.

Speaker 9 (12:36):
Then you've walked across half the ballpark downstairs, and then
you look up and you're like going to the wrong direction.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
You're all sweaty. I'll just take a couple of SIPs. Yeah,
by that time, forget it. So there's a two beer
rule at most ballparks. You can only buy two at
a time because there have been problems. Let's face it, I.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
Think like every venue has that. Yeah, every stadium, every
concert venue. Yep, it's true. Yeah, because somebody couldn't handle it.

Speaker 9 (13:01):
Somebody around it for everybody else one guy, yeah, right up,
for everybody exactly.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
Always on TikTok. There this woman telling the story about
her boyfriend now ex boyfriend.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
Well it probably will be after this, Okay, if he
keeps up this behavior. He found a new way of
drinking baseball games so that he can skirt the two
drinks at a time rule. He claims, I stop pretending
this is like a thing instead of just like a
dumb technique. Like he cracked the code. He cracked an idiot. Continue,

(13:31):
I'm sorry. He had about forty beers during a game. Okay,
forty allegedly allegedly according to the girlfriend. By the way,
this man definitely out kicked his coverage. Yeah, he definitely did.
He's looking at that. Wow. Wow. All right, So here's
what he does the first couple of innings before he
says the game gets really good. He runs back and

(13:51):
forth from the bar to his seat to collect all
his drinks. That way he doesn't have to miss the
good innings to be at the bar. So he's just
running back and forth. He gets two, comes back, puts
them down, goes back again. So they're getting warm while
he's making these trips, like an August day at Family Park,
especially if you're sitting in the sun. Yeah, my god,
by the time he gets to the third or fourth beer,

(14:12):
they got to be pee warm.

Speaker 7 (14:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:14):
Can you imagine what it's like on the thirty eighth,
thirty ninth, and fortieth. Yeah, So what's toilet?

Speaker 2 (14:19):
I don't get it. What's the point. So it says
here he leaves his girlfriend on her own for a
few innings and he's drinking warm beer. But he cracked
the code there's no croade that's being cracked. You're just
taking all of your beer trips and putting them into
a shrunken amount of time. What are we doing here?

Speaker 9 (14:35):
I love the comments, by the way, on the TikTok
video that the girlfriend posted, because that's whenever I hear
a story like this, immediately I'm like, I can't open
the comments fast enough because you know it's going to
be gold gold.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
He's on his side, This is genius. Oh my god,
I'm gonna try this myself. I imagine so many of them, literally,
no one. I haven't seen a single person on this
man's side yet.

Speaker 10 (14:55):
La.

Speaker 1 (14:55):
The bulk of the comments is calling him an alcoholic
yeah wait, and also buying forty beers at a ballpark.
How much is that going to round?

Speaker 2 (15:05):
That's a mortgage payment, Yes.

Speaker 9 (15:06):
A mortgage there average of sixteen fifty at this part
is cruel beer, okay, mister big bucks one commenter, So
the method is getting sloshed on warm, expensive beer and
letting his girl watch the game by herself for forty minutes.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
Got it?

Speaker 1 (15:21):
And imagine sitting near this guy. Now you're trying to
step around all these beers on the ground.

Speaker 2 (15:27):
Do not combine finances with him.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
Seriously, you just said it. That's six hundred and sixty
bucks without the tips. Yeah, yeah, that's like eight hundred bucks. That'sdiculous.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
Who does this all?

Speaker 9 (15:39):
I see hisstal irresponsibility. One hundred dollars for mostly warm beers,
and then all these other people are correcting the math
underneath that one.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
He doesn't like baseball or you good one.

Speaker 1 (15:52):
He clearly doesn't want to be around her too much.
If he's going back and forth crowding sorrows and beers.

Speaker 2 (15:56):
Forty sixteen ounced beers, how many trips back and forth
to the men's room is he doing? Well, he's you know,
he's like, then I'm here for all the gooddings. No,
you're not your Pean. Yeah, I got a Texas catheter
in there, that is, and it's a lot of fluid. Yes,
if you're American in the kitchen, what are you in
the bathroom? European?

Speaker 1 (16:12):
We think about it just after like one of those
sixteen ounce cores lights. I'm in the bathroom right after that.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
Yeah, them, especially if you broke the seal before you
got into the ballpark. Oh forget it. But he cracked
the code, so maybe part of that he's wearing the
depends who knows head more like, all right, forty beers
wear some thick depends. All right, somebody's going to try
this out of Filmiway Park tonight on a full report tomorrow.
I want you in the west Welkoor Brandon depends.

Speaker 7 (16:40):
Oh God, that's right.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
John Henry's on the phone. He said, we can't do that.
The Jeff No. One Morning Show is worldwide.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
Listen on the free iHeart Radio app anywhere anytime.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
Your number one preset is one hundred point seven w ZX.
We're talking to little bit earlier about how traffic's kind
of light on the light side. Maybe a lot of
people on vacation this week, but maybe not, maybe not.
Maybe it's gen Z practicing micro retirement with this generation.
What do they make up things? Are we kidding right now?

(17:14):
I am all on board with this. I get the principles.

Speaker 9 (17:17):
I just hate having to put a name on everything
like it's a thing like, Okay, you came up with
a new strategy.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
We don't have to quantify it or quas. I can't
see bosses putting up with this, but apparently they are well.
Younger boss as well, this is the culture in which
they were raised. Maybe you would enjoy micro retirement telling
me all about it. Come on up at first. Good morning,
mister Tyler. Oh Hi, how you doing? Chuck Nolan Morning
Show with Daniel Murder and Tyler and Steven Tyler. Fresh
off the Ozzy Osbourne Goodbye Show over the weekend. Sounded great, fantastic,

(17:47):
did like four or five songs. Yes, I wonder how
his voices today. It's a good question. I wonder how
he was.

Speaker 1 (17:53):
That was a good test. I thought he did great.
And to do that out on the world stage like
that too, world. Yeah, that's set the precedent for what
the Arrowsmith Final Show show. Well, he was walking the
high wire. Look, there's proof of what's been going on.
Taylor Hawkins tribute. You get the Black Sabbath tribute now,
I mean, like this is how it's got to be done.

Speaker 2 (18:12):
Frawersmith. We're setting it up, aren't we. Yeah, we're saying too,
Lette Stadium, one final Bash, one final blowout show, just
like Ouzzie and Black Sabbath.

Speaker 1 (18:21):
We're gonna be talking to Joe Perry real soon on
this show, all right, working on that, and we're going
to resent that.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
So you, Chuck Nolan, We'll promise some kind of a
cheeseboard backstage cool stuff like that the band you know,
to reboard. Yeah, yeah, we'll get some craft. We'll go
all out on this for sure. So we were talking
about how the traffic goes a little light. Maybe people
vacation maybe not. This is something new I just heard
about with gen Z. They're practicing micro retirement. Of course,

(18:49):
you know, you worked for the post Office for a
good many years, you hit like sixty five or so,
you retire, you go fishing and get the hat with
the lures in it all that. No, they don't want
to do that. They wanted to. Yeah, they still do
to get a pension in the government. Yeah, I don't
they they want to practice micro retirement. So the gen
Z workers are taking unpaid leave when they haven't accrued
vacation time, and they call it micro retirement. Can we

(19:11):
call it unpaid leave? Can we just be normal? Actually,
why do we call it laziness?

Speaker 8 (19:15):
What?

Speaker 2 (19:15):
I don't know that it's laziness.

Speaker 9 (19:17):
One thing that I do respect about younger generations, that
is that they have not necessarily fallen prey to the
like work and be miserable and hustle culture lifestyle.

Speaker 2 (19:26):
Like, there's definitely a pivot there.

Speaker 9 (19:27):
I mean, do you remember when it used to be
a bad thing if you had a bunch of different
jobs on your resume, Like you'd go get a job,
you'd be miserable, You'd stay there for twenty years and
you couldn't leave because that was your job and that
was it.

Speaker 2 (19:37):
You never look for anything else.

Speaker 9 (19:39):
Now you'll spend six months at a job as a
younger individual and be like, you know what, the climate
doesn't fit. This doesn't It's a toxic work environment. I
don't like it here. I don't actually like the job.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
I'm going to go do something else, and it's normal
right to do that.

Speaker 9 (19:52):
However, you know, one of the things they qualify is
a micro retirement is quitting anyone were got to work again.
I I said that four years later, but like I
was doing other things, but I wouldn't call it a
micro retirement.

Speaker 2 (20:06):
Well for this, they say it's it's to avoid burnout.
Gen Z has burnout already. Yeah. I remember sleeping at
radio stations, oh my god, like for a couple of
hours and then getting back on the air again or
going to do a remote or something like that. I
would do anything I possibly could to get a job
in radio. Never said I never said no to anything.
Never ever.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
I missed holidays. My mother used to get so, you're
gonna be gone for Christmas Eve again, You're gonna miss
the vigil again. And I'm like, sorry, I gotta do
the overnight, like I gotta be there at a certain time.
And I did get off the air at five thirty
in the morning and be back at ten to do
like behind the scenes where af was my first big job.
And when I started there, I went out to babysit
the transmitter on asking a bumpskit hill in the middle

(20:48):
of the summertime because it would overheat. I had to
sit there with the door open, getting stung by bees
in the middle of a field.

Speaker 2 (20:53):
People don't know, man, what I'll do.

Speaker 7 (20:55):
I was there all day.

Speaker 2 (20:56):
I would do anything. So we want the gen Z
people to be just like, yeah, stuffer like we did yes, And.

Speaker 1 (21:02):
I can't believe any company would put up with that though,
Hey boss, I'm going to take next week off.

Speaker 2 (21:07):
You know, I'm just I'm feeling burned out. You know
who puts up with that? Startups?

Speaker 9 (21:11):
And then they fail because you get all this venture
capital money, you get hundreds of millions of dollars, you
get the pool table, the thing, you get the remote workplace.

Speaker 2 (21:20):
Hey, maybe we're fully remote, maybe we do whatever. And
then now take as much vacation as you want.

Speaker 9 (21:25):
But they've they've done studies on companies that have like
the unlimited vacation policies, and it actually turns out that
people wind up using less. Whether it's because of guilt
or it's probably just kilt, but or they feel like, well,
you know what, actually, since I cand take vacation whenever,
like I'm good with what I've taken, but this micro
retirement bs like can you? And then another one is
taking breaks from your business if you're a business owner,

(21:48):
unless you learn how to delegate effectively, and that thing
is clicking on all cylinders without you, that's not how
entrepreneurship works.

Speaker 2 (21:54):
But also, if you've taken a week off unpaid, this
is the most expensive city in the world to be
living in here in Boston, you gotta pay rent because well,
your parents are probably paying your rent, you know.

Speaker 1 (22:08):
Honestly, I think that because I went through this with
my cousin. She's on the edge, the edge of the
millennials and Gen zs when she was born in the
mid nineties and we were having lunch one day and
she was telling me how she wanted to take the
summer off and I go to do what and she's like,
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (22:22):
I think I'll do some traveling or whatever. And I'm like,
what about work?

Speaker 1 (22:25):
And she's like, well, I don't really like this job,
so I think I'm just gonna quit and then I'll
come back after the summer and go look for a job.
But I'm giving her the whole thing, like, no, you
need to have a job ready before you quit the
other one. The moral of this story, I think this
young younger generations aren't like us in the sense that
they don't fear being.

Speaker 2 (22:40):
Out of work. We do. Yeah, they our generations are like.

Speaker 7 (22:43):
Why, oh my god, IM mightna get fired.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
What am I gonna do? We get like into panic mode.
They embrace being out of work. I got to set
something up. I have to have something up set up
right away. If I'm gonna leave this job, I have
to start the next one right away. On the morning,
she was gonna have to be somewhere else. If you
decided to leave. I'm not going through this again. No
I'm not.

Speaker 1 (23:04):
It's a shut the online show on Boston Classic Rock
one point seven W's and E LX and Over the
Hills and Far Away on the Free iHeartRadio app. I
don't know if you guys know this, but when I
was nineteen years old, they probably wore the striped.

Speaker 2 (23:20):
Pants of a government worker. You did delivering mail for
the town of West Boils. My short pants are long pants. Well, summertime,
go with the shorts, you know sometimes, Do you have
one of those weird hats on that they wear weird, like.

Speaker 9 (23:34):
Those big drawstring with the yeah yeah, cover the neck, yeah,
one of those weird time It's like a bucket hat
kind of thing.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
Yeah, Bob from the Medford Post Office. Do you wear
a weird hat?

Speaker 6 (23:45):
No, I can't. I don't wear a hat because it
seals in eighty percent of body heat.

Speaker 2 (23:50):
Seeveteran right there. I was a scientist. That's nice.

Speaker 6 (23:55):
That's great in the winter time where you want to
seal in eighty percent of the body heat. But in
the summer for me, it's preference for anybody, but I
choose not to wear a hat.

Speaker 1 (24:04):
Go all right, Bob, we were just talking about gen
Z workers. You have a lot of gen Z workers
at the post office there, we do.

Speaker 6 (24:11):
We have a lot of people from other countries working
at the Postal Service, and they do a great job,
and they're desperately needing help as carriers and out there
radio land. If you need a job, go to your
local post office and you'll be hired. Within a week,
you will be working for the Postal Service.

Speaker 2 (24:29):
What's the starting paid, Bob.

Speaker 6 (24:31):
It's around twenty three fifty I think now, or twenty four.

Speaker 2 (24:35):
Dollars an hour.

Speaker 6 (24:36):
Plenty of overtime, plenty of exercise, plenty of exercise. You're
gonna do twelve fifteen miles a day, easy.

Speaker 7 (24:44):
All right?

Speaker 2 (24:44):
Say I do that for a week and I get
really tired. I pull a hamm and I say, you
know what I want to take next week off? I
want to do a micro retirement. The mail can wait.
I'm not going to show you no week.

Speaker 6 (24:54):
The Postal Service is not equipped for micro time and employees.

Speaker 2 (24:59):
That's it.

Speaker 6 (25:00):
It's a dedicated career. Yeah, you can't just it's not
a freelance operation.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
I'm out, can't come and go, please, guys, I'm tapping out.
We can't handle it.

Speaker 1 (25:11):
Good to it.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
We get the download up next.

Speaker 10 (25:14):
It spans the gold like a super highway interistin it
is called and Download with Danielle.

Speaker 5 (25:21):
I never know what you're gonna hear America, will hear
my two cents on Boston's Classic Rock at one hundred
point seven w ZLX.

Speaker 8 (25:33):
Well.

Speaker 9 (25:33):
Intense flooding continues to affect other parts of the country.
Flash floods in Redoso, New Mexico, killed a four year
old girl, a seven year old boy, and a man
after record breaking waters swept them away. That village was
devastated by wildfires last year and saw the Rio Redoso
rise twenty feet, triggering dozens of rescues, if you'll say.
Search efforts and damage assessments are ongoing, with federal aid

(25:55):
requests now underway. Central Texas flash flooding from July fourth
weekend is clay at least one hundred and eighteen lives,
with one hundred eighty people still missing.

Speaker 2 (26:04):
I can't believe those numbers. Staggering number. It keeps going
up every day.

Speaker 9 (26:07):
Search and rescue efforts continue amid warnings of more rain
now in the forecast. The Community Foundation of the Texas
Hill Country has launched the Kirk County Flutterley Fund, specifically
aimed at helping those affected. You can make a donation
at community foundation dot net. Locally, seven Chinese nationals have
been indicted for running a sprawling, multimillion dollar illegal marijuana
operation across Massachusetts and mainevice nationals into the US to

(26:32):
work in grow houses hidden inside single family homes, with
holding their passports until their smuggling debts were paid. Network
used properties in Braintree, milrows in Greenfield as hubs. These houses,
one of them in Brookline was in the.

Speaker 2 (26:45):
New Stunning It's like a two million dollar house. Yeah,
and you'd never know.

Speaker 1 (26:49):
Just stuff full of weed, ll lights, grow lights, carbon filters, fans. Wow,
duration thing operation.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
It's a lot going on.

Speaker 9 (26:58):
So six specs were arrested yesterday. One remains a fugitive.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
One.

Speaker 9 (27:04):
Boston City Councilor would like other communities to help shoulder
the burden of mass and casts. John Fitzgerald is pushing
for a regional fund to help tackle the ongoing drug crisis.
He says Boston taxpayers should not have to carry the
full burden for a problem fueled by people from outside
the city. Ever, Post fund would support addiction services, enforcement
and recovery efforts with contributions from neighboring communities, and they

(27:26):
would allow other towns to and cities to basically opt
into this program.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
Now it's been such a problem for so long and
just they can't seem to fix it. No, No, the
whole mass and Casts area. My god. I had because
of a story about a friend of a friend.

Speaker 9 (27:41):
I had joined a Facebook group Missing on mass At
recently and just to see the stories of people on
there looking for loved ones who are struggling and in
the deaths of addiction. It's just so heartbreaking to see
it every day, like looking for my son, looking for
my nephew, my sister.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
It just consumes you. It does, It really does. And
what wood tool.

Speaker 9 (28:01):
Beach paddle borders were startled yesterday when a great white
shark surface just yards away.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
Coast Guard and Harbor Patrol responded.

Speaker 9 (28:07):
Quickly clearing the water. Increasing beach surveillance. Officials urged visitors
to check these shark tracker websites and remain vigilant, especially
during early morning hours. I just want to remind everybody
you're in the shark's house.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
I saw the photo it. It got really close to them.

Speaker 9 (28:21):
It did, because you know, you're basically showing up on
its ring door bell and it's like hello, you.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
Make it all splashy sounds. Yeah, your pedal board, like
what's what's the shark is basically coming to the blinds
and being like, who's in my friend? I would freak out.
I absolutely, I would freak out. Instant pants pooping. Oh
my god, no question about shark. Can you be chumming
the water?

Speaker 4 (28:42):
Oh?

Speaker 9 (28:44):
I said, no, chum, no tum sixty seven degrees in
Boston right now, Hi, seventy one.

Seven seconds of sports with Tyler Socks.

Speaker 1 (28:58):
Wind streak continues. Guys, I've straight eight out of the
last ten offense. Another big night, ten runs, eleven hits.
You got Romey Gonzalez, Roman, Anthony, Jaron Durant all having
big nights. Those guys stay hot. But the offensive player
of the night, no doubt, was mister Trevor's story. Went
two for four with four RBI and here's three of
them in one shot.

Speaker 10 (29:18):
This starts building another big inning. They scored four runs
last to night. Now if their runners at first and second,
So I got a shot.

Speaker 2 (29:26):
Back toward the wall high and dear gode Trevor sorry
with a three run holder. So how happy is that
guy he used to play for the Rockets?

Speaker 6 (29:38):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (29:38):
I know, I forgot about that. Imagine, oh the joy
he has right now. Oh he must be thanking God
every single night. Big night for Trevor. Story. But the
star of the night, the star who gets the star
on the refrigerator. Brian Bao gave up only two runs
on five hits.

Speaker 2 (29:56):
And get ready for it.

Speaker 1 (29:57):
We don't say this often. Can't imagine how many times
I'm gonn say it throughout the year. He pitched a
complete game, complete game. Are we gonna go to the bullpen? Nope?
Him out there, let him out there. That was his
first complete game too. Hopefully there's many more to come. Yes,
I doubt it, but you never know. Let's stick with
the Red Sox and our old friend, Our old friend,
Raffie Devers not exactly making new friends in San Francisco.

(30:20):
We all are aware why he left. Socks Brass couldn't
deal with him not wanting to play first base. So
he goes to San Francisco and what's the first thing.
He says, I'll play anywhere they want me to. I'm
here for the team. Unbelievable, sort of, sort of. So
Giants legend Will Clark was asked by San Francisco brass
to work with him at first base. Who better, Oh,

(30:42):
I got the legend, just unbelievable, huge out in San Francisco.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
Massive.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
So he says, I didn't really go the way they
thought it would. Here's Will Clark explaining it. One of
three clips. Here's the first one.

Speaker 11 (30:56):
So Matt Wins and Bob Melwound want me to go
out there and work with him around first base, no problem.
And we weren't.

Speaker 3 (31:02):
We weren't gonna like go through anything physical.

Speaker 12 (31:05):
We're just gonna walk through and say, hey, look if
throw's coming from over there, standing this way, throws coming.

Speaker 3 (31:10):
From over there, staying that way. It wasn't gonna be this.

Speaker 12 (31:14):
Big thing, right And Friday Saturday Sunday, he did not
come out early at all, period.

Speaker 3 (31:20):
Not at all.

Speaker 2 (31:21):
No show, no show. He didn't even hit in the cage,
not even a text like I'm running a little late. Yeah, nothing.

Speaker 1 (31:28):
So they were playing the Red Sox that weekend Yeah,
Clark has his back though. Here's the second clip.

Speaker 11 (31:34):
I said he didn't want to go out and be
at first base and be twenty feet in front of
their freaking dugout with you know what went on in Boston.

Speaker 3 (31:46):
And now he's working with me at first base, so
he has his back there.

Speaker 1 (31:51):
But he also makes a statement, and I will call
this a WWE style statement.

Speaker 2 (31:57):
Here's what he had to say.

Speaker 3 (31:58):
Anyway, so completely stamp.

Speaker 11 (32:00):
But Raffie Aldivers, next time I'm in San Francisco, your
ass will be on the field at first base, just letting.

Speaker 3 (32:08):
Me know that. Hey, look, even if I gotta go
grab you by the back.

Speaker 7 (32:11):
Of the neck and drag your ass out there, you
will be at first base.

Speaker 2 (32:16):
He's gonna raged all them over to first base. Could
you see this?

Speaker 1 (32:20):
What is gonna happen? Not if, but when Raffi Devers
blows them off micro retirement. Of course this is gonna
go so bad. It's not gonna lit for Raffi. The

a joke along the lines of like, oh, don't forget
if you win, we split it.

Speaker 2 (41:06):
Ah, yeah, here we go. I laughed, right, like, okay,
you know, we go fifty to fifty if you get
up put that.

Speaker 1 (41:13):
I mean, I've said that to people if I win
the three hundred million with like a verbal contract, right.

Speaker 9 (41:18):
Yeah, Like when my family comes, if my family comes
into town from out of state for Christmas, like my
mother will get a scratch you everybody gets a two
dollars scratch ticket.

Speaker 2 (41:25):
It's like, all right, we all split it if we
went good luck mo. Not happening anyway, So, uh, Paul
said that.

Speaker 9 (41:32):
He laughed, and he said sure, sure, not thinking that
she was serious, as one does, so I scratched the
tickets and on the second ticket, I hit for one
thousand dollars.

Speaker 2 (41:41):
Nice.

Speaker 9 (41:42):
Everybody went nuts and we toasted the wind with espresso
Martini's nice choice dark or creamy. We finished dinner and
as we were saying goodbye, my sister in law points
at me and says, don't forget, you owe us five
hundred dollars now and starts laughing. I didn't know what
she was talking about, so I just kind of laughed
along with her. Two days later, I get a TECH
to my brother asking if I'm going to venmo them.
They're half of the winnings. And then I realized what

(42:04):
she meant about the five hundred dollars. I get that
they bought the ticket.

Speaker 2 (42:08):
But this is nuts to me.

Speaker 9 (42:09):
I told my brother he's out of his mind and
I'm not sending any money, and now he's giving me attitude.

Speaker 2 (42:15):
Am I the a hole?

Speaker 7 (42:16):
Wow?

Speaker 2 (42:17):
They took that real serious. We always say that don't forget,
we're gonna split it. I expect someone to pay up, though, Like,
if you want five million dollars, you want to kick
me one hundred k?

Speaker 3 (42:27):
Cool?

Speaker 9 (42:28):
I mean, five million after taxes is like sixty three
dollars in a coffee anyway in a commonwealth.

Speaker 2 (42:32):
But wow, that's a good one. Yeah. Right, Who is
the All family too? It's not like it's frenzy.

Speaker 9 (42:39):
You see once a year and you can kind of
blow him off and maybe they'll forget about it by
the time the super Bowl comes around.

Speaker 2 (42:43):
Yeah, but a couple of days went by. That meant
for two days there were he've been taking about it.
They're checking the phone. Hey, can you send me a
dollar on Venmo and make sure I don't see it yet?
Can you look at my feet? Do you see if
he sent me anything? Nothing? Maybe tonight? Maybe no, send
him a text. Maybe he forgot I don't want to.
I feel uncomfortable. No, it's fine, he knows he can

(43:05):
you do it. No, I don't know him that well.
It's your brother six seven nine three one one hundred
point seven text double these yells in your message to
seven oh four to seven oh leave us a talk
back on the free iHeartRadio app. Who is the a whole?

Speaker 1 (43:17):
I wonder about his underlying circumstances, like what like they
this is a brother and a sister, right, brother, and brother,
a brother and brother brother. So the sister in law
is the one that was like you a us. So
I wonder if the brother and the brother have like
past issues and he's like, you know what, f this guy,
you gotta get my money, like got burned financially burned.

Speaker 2 (43:34):
Somewhere along the line.

Speaker 1 (43:35):
Maybe he owes the money from like they went to
a Patriots game or something and yeah, paid for the
tickets or never forgot it, never forgot it. Maybe this
is the way of saying I'm getting this damn money back.

Speaker 2 (43:44):
Could be possible, could be.

Speaker 9 (43:47):
Paul, if you're listening, send me an email. We need
some clarification.

Speaker 2 (43:50):
We got to figure out what's going on with this.
That's a good one. Curious, especially when there's money involved.
It's alway, yeah, it's always tough, Oh my god, always tough.

Speaker 1 (43:58):
Basically, what we're asking is is the guy the a
hole for not giving the money or is the other
guy the a hole for asking for it?

Speaker 2 (44:04):
Right for expecting it. And I'm on the fence right now.

Speaker 9 (44:08):
Oh, I think the other one's the a hole for
asking for it. That's a gift, you gave a gift,
no you, I'm sorry. Everyone knows that disclaimer is not
a real thing. It's like when you win the fifty
to fifty raffle at a charity event. The nice expectation
is that you give that you give the money back
when you win it, right, it's like donate.

Speaker 2 (44:24):
Like there's a.

Speaker 9 (44:28):
The MDA does a great cook off every year with
the firefighters in the North Shore.

Speaker 2 (44:31):
My buddy Tim runs it. It's a phenomenal event.

Speaker 9 (44:35):
And I won the fifty to fifty raffle one year
and I won like fourteen hundred bucks and I gave
it right back to them.

Speaker 2 (44:39):
I didn't want to, but I did very nice, very
good cause.

Speaker 9 (44:43):
And also everybody knew who I was, and I always
preach about this, so I'm like I got to walk
the walk.

Speaker 2 (44:47):
But as far as something like this, yeah, that's a gift,
and you have to expect like, okay, maybe what.

Speaker 9 (44:53):
If they didn't scratch it the table. Not going to
tell you it's a thousand dollars. It's not like they
one a million. You know, it's a gift. And like
you said, when we're on that stage, a couple of
drinks as a celebrated oh, don't.

Speaker 2 (45:03):
Nobody means that it's out of here. Nobody means that.

Speaker 1 (45:07):
I think the other guy is the a hole he
should have been like, oh, you know what, you're right,
I did say it. Let's keep the peace among the family.
I'll give him the five hundred dollars.

Speaker 9 (45:15):
That's so petty, though, No, because that was very clearly
a joking scenario.

Speaker 2 (45:19):
Yeah, but it's also a flex like, oh, you really
want to bust my balls?

Speaker 15 (45:21):
All right, here's your money?

Speaker 2 (45:22):
Good someplace else? Going for sucker?

Speaker 1 (45:26):
He gave us five hundred, and then there's bad feelings forever. Yeah, well,
I think giving him the money smooths it over.

Speaker 2 (45:32):
I don't think so. Are you kidding me?

Speaker 1 (45:35):
If you felt like, all right, I gotta settle this.
I gotta I gotta give him the money.

Speaker 2 (45:38):
Where's an end, right, slippery slope argument? What's next? Well,
then he'll learn a lesson to keep his mouth shut. Hey, Paul,
I need a kidney.

Speaker 1 (45:47):
You said you were going to give me half your kidney.
We're going with a kidney thing. You got to mark
how you doing this morning?

Speaker 15 (45:56):
Doing?

Speaker 7 (45:56):
Well?

Speaker 2 (45:56):
What do you think about this?

Speaker 7 (45:58):
Shuck?

Speaker 14 (45:59):
It's a gift, it's his the brother that scratched it,
it's his money.

Speaker 6 (46:05):
It's up to him that give that money. He shouldn't
have to, that's right.

Speaker 2 (46:09):
Agree. I wonder if anybody's going to take the other side.
You know, it's just it's too weird. It's very weird. Jack,
what do you think? Who side do you are? I
don't think I wouldn't even give him a time.

Speaker 7 (46:23):
Yeah, after taxes, what's he gonna get seven?

Speaker 2 (46:28):
Maybe if he's lucky.

Speaker 6 (46:30):
Right, I took him five hundred.

Speaker 14 (46:33):
Well you get too good.

Speaker 2 (46:35):
Point, that's true. We're doing math here.

Speaker 6 (46:39):
It was a present. It was a present.

Speaker 2 (46:41):
It was a present. Are you going to shoulder the
tax burden? Rebecca? Help me out with the taxes? Yes, James,
what do you think not the a hole?

Speaker 7 (46:52):
Come on, take her out for a drink later, call
it a day, and then that's it.

Speaker 2 (46:57):
All right, that's a good idea, a compromise. Take them
out for drinks, would be dinner or something like that.
Smooth it over.

Speaker 15 (47:04):
Yeah, you know, it's too short to to hustle and
bustle over some silly joke.

Speaker 7 (47:11):
And what's a joke?

Speaker 1 (47:12):
And what's not? You know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (47:13):
Come on, now, absolutely's only a few hundred bucks. Yeah,
I like that. I like that the peacekeeper right there?
What do you guys think?

Speaker 1 (47:21):
Six seven nine, one hundred point seven text w Z
alex and your message to seven oh four to seven.

Speaker 2 (47:26):
Oh whom is the ale Good morning?

Speaker 1 (47:28):
It's the Chuck Nolan Morning Show with Danielle Murr and
Tyler on this gray Is it raining?

Speaker 2 (47:34):
Oh?

Speaker 9 (47:36):
What isn't expecting that? It's almost sideways? That beautiful best
quite the angle? Good luck?

Speaker 2 (47:41):
That's going to happen until next Tuesday. We are in
the throes of am I the a hole right now?
A situation of a celebration of birthday, celebration gone awrye
you go out for dinner. Presidents are are pasted around
scratch ticket and the joke that everybody makes when a
scratch ticket is presented as a gift.

Speaker 1 (47:58):
Don't forget if you when we split it, let's get
ahold of around.

Speaker 2 (48:05):
Yourself. Guy hits it for a thousand bucks. What a
great present, Thank you very much. All of a sudden,
a couple of days go by, get the message, Hey
going to Ben mollas that five hundred bucks. Excuse me, yeah, exactly,
should have should have done it? So who is the
eight are you saying they should have done it.

Speaker 1 (48:23):
I'm saying the guy that didn't give the money is
the ahlemar.

Speaker 2 (48:27):
I'm thinking about it the birthday boy. You said it.
You said it.

Speaker 1 (48:30):
I understand that it was mess a joke, but you
said it. So But everybody says that he's the running gag.
If the guys, if your brother is asking you for
the money, clearly he's pissed. Smooth it out, keep the
piece in the family, give him the money.

Speaker 2 (48:43):
Get the hell out of here. Wow, you ask me.
In my opinion, that's when it was such a pushover.
Not a pushover, a peacekeeper. No, it's keep it the
peace in the family. Well, we got some talkbacks here.
Let's see how people feel about this.

Speaker 4 (48:55):
In my opinion, this sister in law is the a
hole because she was pressing on about well, if you win,
you got can meet fifty percent personally. If she just
kept her mouth shut, the brother probably would have set
them money.

Speaker 1 (49:11):
She was pressing them. You probably wouldn't have right by. Still,
I don't think you would have. We got another one,
hair Well.

Speaker 16 (49:18):
I would invite them out to dinner and if they
don't accept that, invite them over to dinner and make
sure you show up that beautiful new grill you just
bought with a lottery ticket.

Speaker 2 (49:29):
And if they don't like that, they're they're the a hole.

Speaker 7 (49:32):
And there it's time for your step up to be
the bigger a hole. But you'll never be a bigger
a hole than me. Love you, Danielle.

Speaker 2 (49:40):
Wow message with some love at the end of that year.

Speaker 1 (49:45):
Yes, that was as a boss moved on, invite them
over and hey, look look at the new grillage.

Speaker 2 (49:51):
Hey look at this my winnings twisting the knife. Huh
we get another one hair.

Speaker 13 (49:55):
So Paul, congratulations, scratch tickets are a hit.

Speaker 7 (50:00):
Miss you hit your brother Misses.

Speaker 13 (50:04):
I wouldn't even give him the dime I used to
scratch the ticket. That money is yours, my friend, keep
it enjoy brother of Paul.

Speaker 2 (50:18):
He said it though he said it was like oh yeah, yeah, okay,
like he's not like it wasn't.

Speaker 9 (50:25):
I have a hard time that something said in that
way would hold up in courts away comments.

Speaker 2 (50:32):
You know, if say it's one of those tickets that
you win ten million dollars on and it was ten
million bucks, then I would have a beef, like you
got to give us something else.

Speaker 9 (50:40):
Give you a hundred thousand in eighteen, kin, so we
got to spread it out.

Speaker 2 (50:46):
Over six years.

Speaker 1 (50:47):
So you're saying, because it's such a small amount of money,
let it go. Yeah, I think it's That's my explanation
from my my argument. It's such a small amount of money,
why let there be hatred between you two?

Speaker 2 (50:58):
Just give him half. Oh that's like giving somebody a
box of Omaha steaks and saying, now cook me half
of them. That's a great analogy. I love that. It's
not No one ever.

Speaker 1 (51:11):
Says that, all right, you give you give the Omaha
stakes and you haven't seen them yet, Hey, open up
the bucks. If those are really good, I want to
have like half of those, okay. And if they oh fine, And.

Speaker 2 (51:22):
If the brother says absolutely, you got it, then he
should give it up. But I don't think he said
he's giving me the email on no.

Speaker 9 (51:30):
But seriously, Tyler, based on the way the email was written,
I don't think he said.

Speaker 2 (51:33):
It like yes, definitely, I'll split it with you. It
was like, oh, yeah, okay, yeah, sure, sure, yeah, I'll
split it. He said it. He laughed it off like
we all do.

Speaker 1 (51:41):
Oh that it's so original. I can't believe he said
that who cares in what way he said it?

Speaker 2 (51:45):
I would hand him a full bag of you know
what's and be like, eat this, Jim, I think we
lost Jim Marshmallows? Does it rhyme with licks?

Speaker 7 (51:57):
Six?

Speaker 10 (51:59):
Did you.

Speaker 2 (52:02):
Before you called doct you're feel good?

Speaker 1 (52:04):
Call us six one seven, nine three one one hundred
twenty seven online show on CLX.

Speaker 2 (52:13):
What is the birthday gift?

Speaker 1 (52:14):
A gift and not a contractual agreement? Scratch ticket given
as a gift? The joke is made, did you win?

Speaker 2 (52:23):
I get half? Of course he won a thousand bucks.
They're expecting their cut. When's it gonna come? Who is
the ahle Alex? What's the story here? What side are
you taking on this good morning folks? So I did
think could both be ahoes?

Speaker 15 (52:44):
You could take Tyler side where depending on what was
said and what was in rehunt for the gifts.

Speaker 2 (52:50):
So I've done.

Speaker 15 (52:51):
Scratch guys, I've given scratch GUIDs and when I've been
giving scratch that I make it real clear if.

Speaker 6 (52:57):
Somebody says something like that that, no, you don't you
get nothing. If I win, it's mine.

Speaker 2 (53:04):
I like that. And he does it with that death
that death stare in his eyes too, gives him the look. No, no,
is it hours at a j from Peebody? Al, how
you doing?

Speaker 3 (53:19):
Now?

Speaker 14 (53:20):
Great? Exactly the reason why when you get scratch tickets,
scratch him at home with your partner. Yep, then nobody
knows what.

Speaker 2 (53:28):
You want private scratching. Yeah, I was gonna say, scratch
him home with your partner. We're still talking about tickets, Yeah,
right in the arm of the couch.

Speaker 14 (53:36):
Hey, I didn't say a slipping scratch.

Speaker 2 (53:39):
Hey, oh this is interesting.

Speaker 7 (53:42):
Damn.

Speaker 2 (53:43):
What do you have to say about Tyler?

Speaker 14 (53:46):
He is soft.

Speaker 2 (53:48):
In a lot of ways, like George mcflyes.

Speaker 14 (53:52):
You know the reference, like you know, hey, borrow my
car and wreck it and now sure, I'll here, there's
no problem. Probably at a blind spot.

Speaker 2 (53:59):
I'm just trying to keep the piece with the family.

Speaker 7 (54:00):
Buddy.

Speaker 14 (54:02):
Yeah, but you're identifying yourself as the weak member. So,
I mean, the big thing is it gift can't be conditional,
Like if it was five bucks, are you asking for
two fifty? Probably not, so you can't ask for five hundred.
And then the last question is what if it was
a pair of concert tickets? Do you have to bring
the person that the tickets the same thing?

Speaker 2 (54:22):
If you said you would give him one. Yeah joke.

Speaker 1 (54:30):
I like how you called the out for being soft
though you know I'm the toughest guy in his room.
Just so you know, he just put my foot. I
put my foot down when my foot needs to be
put down. In this case, keep the peace with the fan.

Speaker 2 (54:42):
You don't even wear shoes in the house. Don't talk
to me about the foot. He said, you're showing your weakness,
and I think we just saund that here. Let's let's
take a talk.

Speaker 7 (54:49):
About wanting guys. Longtime listener, love the show. Hey, it
could have been like the movie.

Speaker 10 (54:54):
This could happen to you and this front in the
brother's case, he's not a good looking waitress at a diner.

Speaker 2 (55:00):
I don't think he deserves anything. It was a gift, Charlie,
what do you think, Charles Kelly in a bad area?
Check Alex. Who's this?

Speaker 6 (55:18):
This is Mary?

Speaker 7 (55:19):
Mary?

Speaker 2 (55:19):
What do you think?

Speaker 13 (55:20):
Mary?

Speaker 9 (55:20):
Yeah, I got an opinion.

Speaker 2 (55:23):
So I think everybody kind of looks at it in
the context of himself, so you know, but you know,
it could.

Speaker 5 (55:29):
Be in a different economic bracket.

Speaker 6 (55:31):
Five hundred dollars.

Speaker 13 (55:31):
Could be a lot of money to them, you know,
So that's kind of.

Speaker 2 (55:35):
How I'm looking at it, like we don't know the
whole story here, the big picture.

Speaker 13 (55:39):
Yeah, I mean everybody's family is different, you know what
I mean, maybe.

Speaker 2 (55:42):
Five unred books is a lot for that family. So anyway,
promises were made. Keep the promises. What this is all about,
Keep the promise, Keep your promise. It was that you
don't know how to read the room from the other
side of the room. Wasn't a promise. It's a joke,
standard gag.

Speaker 9 (55:58):
This is this also remind me of like the hit
Well now it's now, it's shuffled a lot later. But
like the old Hey, if we're not married by the
time we're thirty, then we'll marry. If we're both single
by the time we're thirty, then we'll get married.

Speaker 2 (56:11):
Doesn't work. That takes one.

Speaker 1 (56:13):
I wouldn't commit to that one, doesn't Right, that's a
little too hardcore. Another talk, My backup did get.

Speaker 2 (56:18):
Divorced, so last there was a gift. So keep the
darn money, good old fashioned American greed and play here,
all right.

Speaker 1 (56:27):
Agreed, I'm talking about keeping the peace with the family money. Yeah,
but it's been pointing out you're showing your weakness, but.

Speaker 2 (56:34):
Wanting to keep the family together, that's a weakness though.
I bet these people mess with a Yankee swap too. No,
no way, no, I didn't mean to do that. I
picked that one. It's not that's mine mine, I stole it.

Speaker 3 (56:46):
Mine.

Speaker 2 (56:46):
No, mine, mine, mine, Mine mine
