Speaker 1 (00:09):
If I've said it once, man, I've said it one hundred,
maybe even a thousand times that John bon Jovi's a
am hero. He saved a lady. I mean sort of.
He talked to a woman into living. That's saving somebody, right.
I Mean it's not like he pulled her out of
(00:30):
a burning building. But I guess he was filming music
video in Nashville this week, and you know, like a
new bon Jovi song, music video blah, and then in
the backgrounds is lady. I imagine it's in the background.
How else would you have seen her? Anyway, She looked
very distressed and seemingly was going to jump off the bridge,
and John bon Jovi, because he's a am hero, went
(00:52):
up to her and talked her out of it. No
word yet on when John bon Jovi's People's House music
video will be released. Hard hitting stuff as we kick
off the September twelfth edition of This girly show, Welcome
to It, Clint Gurley. This is the show that we
do before like that we record the actual thing, which
(01:15):
is much shorter and much worse. This one's pretty fun
because it's just kind of going through everything and figuring
out what we're gonna say later, how do we take
this thing and condense it into you know, thirty seconds
worth of radio magic or C minus D plus radio
time and edit out all the bon Jovi stuff. Now
(01:39):
that we're gonna eddit out the story, that's great, that's solid.
I wish we had bon Jovi music to play to
talk out of it, and said, I'm gonna have to
find a seguey just probably not the gd Today we're
going to talk about Amazon, I think trying to weasele
their way into the food stamps market. I'm that may
be a very pessimistic way to look at but when
(02:01):
you're a giant corporation, We've talked about this before, you
do more good for yourself than other people. And even
though this story sounds like it's great for everybody, it's
got to be more good for Amazon or they wouldn't
do it right. As his entire you know, ability to
access the Internet is cut off because Amazon's got ears everywhere.
(02:25):
We're also going to talk about the jobs that make
Americans most happy. I'm excited about that. I don't think
mine will be on there. Not that it doesn't make
me happy, but it's such a small group of people,
you know what I mean. Plus when adulthood actually begins,
and some ladies real pissed at Target because they're redesigning
(02:46):
the shopping carts and apparently they didn't consult her or mothers.
Just in general. This is according to her. We'll start
today with the presidential debate because we avoided it at
all costs pretty much yesterday. Today, the only thing I'll
mention about is that I pulled in about sixty seven
million viewers. That's up sixteen million people over the Biden
(03:10):
Trump one. Probably just out of curiosity. What's Kamaligan. We've
never heard her debate, She's never really done like a
press conference. What is she going to say? How is
she going to be turns out she's talked in front
of people before and worked out for her. So sixty
seven million. This is by the way, there are not
many things that people are still tuning into, like you know,
(03:33):
live TV, that aren't sports, specifically football. That's why you
see all these promos for the presidential debate. They don't
necessarily want you to be informed, they don't necessarily care
what's being said. I was shocked when they did fact
checking during the actual debate truthfully, they just need things
(03:55):
that people will set appointments to watch on TV. You
see has killed that unless it's live sports. There aren't
enough shows that they're doing on a on a you know,
network level that people are like, well, I better tune
in for that. And they obviously want them to tune
in for advertising. That's why that whole industry. But this
(04:17):
one presidential debate sixty seven million eight bad. That's, by
the way, just across all of the different platforms, so
I think that includes internet too. Do you know that
the age of adulthood technically lawfully begins at eighteen, but
according to researchers, the real age of adulthood twenty seven
(04:43):
years old. Do you buy that you turn into or
your brain becomes an adult, you know, version of itself
at twenty seven years old? People start paying their own bills.
This is hold on, I'm gonna read this list. I remember,
I've never gon on through any of these things before.
This has been a copy paste job. And I don't
(05:03):
like to read things. When I do these talks, I
like to fully understand them and then just kind of
not you know, So as I read through this thing.
According to this new survey, boo. It happens when people
start paying their own bills, being financially independent and putting
responsibilities over having fun. Twenty seven When did you, Let's
(05:26):
be honest, when did you first start having like bills,
bills to pay? Not like your parents say you got
to pay for the car insurance if you're going to
drive when you're sixteen or now. I guess twenty four
because I guess that's when they're driving. Oh, either way,
twenty seven seems late for me. Not that my brain,
Like I will say, the criteria they're listing here, I
(05:50):
was doing well before twenty seven years old. The things
that I would think make an adult brain different than
whatever I had during you know, high school, college, and
all the way up till about twenty seven years old
has nothing to do with paying bills and everything to
do with what Maybe that last one putting responsibilities over
(06:12):
having fun or at least not being an idiot? Is
that a criteria? Was that on the list? They asked?
I'd love to know if you agree on this, get
your own podcast. Tell me the jobs that make America's
(06:33):
Americans Americas. Now, let's try that. Over the job that
makes Americans the happiest. New standing reveals that career is
most likely to make you happy based on seven hundred
and fifty five thousand different glassdoor reviews, which, by the way,
have you ever gone on a glass door before? I
stupidly years ago went on there, and in order to
(06:55):
access the data, you have to enter your email and
then put your job in there. So at the time
my job was like operations manager or whatever, not just
idiot on the air. And so now I get all
these job things that they send me. Still I haven't
I should unsubscribe, but truthfully, it's just kind of funny.
Every time they do. I get like a job opening
(07:16):
for some factory, some factory they need somebody to run
the factory. Can you imagine? Can you imagine if they're like,
what are you an operations manager? Hired? If they gave
me twice the money I'm making here to go do
a job I am wholly underqualified for, I would one
hundred percent take that job. I mean I could figure
(07:40):
out how to be a factory manager. I think, right,
it'd be worth trying for twice the money I'm making.
Some loss of life may occur. That's what happens when
you work in a factory like us, you know. Anyways,
it's new study Glassdoor says that real estate agents have
(08:01):
the highest job satisfaction overall, followed by carpenters and then
software developers. So you've got a full range, right, Like
real estate agents are essentially just you know, B minus
social media influencers at this point. Like, I'm sure they
do other things, but I feel like the vast majority
of the time they have day to day is spent
(08:23):
doing social media. Am I wrong on that? If you're
a real estate agent, I'm not trying to hate on
your thing. I just know you spend much more time
on social media than I do. It's part of the game,
I guess. Carpenters that makes sense. I mean, Jesus did it,
you know? And then I don't know if that one's
(08:43):
going to make it on the air. Carpenters makes sense.
You get a sense of like accomplishment. It's like probably
ten times the feeling I get every time I get
done mowing the lawn and I turn around and I go, yeah,
looks pretty good. When it's mode, it's my favorite thing.
And then software developers, I don't know what you guys do.
I would imagine the high job satisfaction is because you
(09:06):
don't probably have to go into work and you can
just work whenever you want, so long as you get
your stuff done. Man. As for the unhappiest, because that's
a part of this list too, although we like to
try and focus on the positive as much as possible,
because it's real easy for me to go negative sometimes
and I hate that about myself, but it is who
I is, Popeye. Male carriers number one. Oh man, that
(09:29):
sucks because I like the people who deliver our mail
in our neighborhood. I always given like a little wave.
They always seem friendly. I got one guy, every time
he drops off of package wants to chat about what's
in the actual package, and I think that's awesome, you know,
unless it's like a weird thing. I don't order very
many weird things, and I'm usually like super excited that
it's there, and I want to tell everybody. Male carriers
(09:51):
seems like a nice guy and lets me do that.
Pharmacists number two and security guards at the third. Unhappiest
them all. It's probably because you don't get to shoot anybody.
I mean, truthfully, Okay, sorry, we're gonna move on from that,
I had a story and hear about the Florida police
that had nothing to do with the guy on bath salts,
(10:13):
which I was going to do. It is about a
lemonade stand. How somebody called and complained this little girl
was doing an illegal lemonade standard. Instead of showing up
and shutting it down, they showed up and they brought
all the other cops and they all bought lemonade. I
love that because even though I mean, let's be honest,
there's probably like a permit thing that's in place this
little girl, and you know, somebody else who's probably trying
(10:33):
to dupe the system by making one like the laws
in place for the duper, not for this little girl.
And there is the law, but there's also the interpretation
and enforcement of it, and common sense at some point
has to play a role in that. And I feel
like these Florida police, probably excited that they didn't get
a call involving a guy you know, high on bath
salts or methamphetamines with a pet alligator or a combination
(10:54):
of all three, showed up and help this little girl.
I love that, but I'm not going to do it.
I don't really love having to tell the whole story
in that maybe if I need something, like if I
run out of stuff by six pm, it might make
the list, but it has nothing to do with here.
You know, if it was a Springfield thing, i'd lead
with it. I'd tell it twice. Finally, I want to
(11:18):
talk about this Target shopping cart redesign, which, by the way,
I don't know if this is an official thing. The
Target is done. Do they design their own shopping carts?
Do they just buy them from like a shopping cart
manufacturer and they're like, we'll take the ones with the
most plastic please. Apparently there's a Oh, I almost said YouTuber,
(11:39):
but that's not right. It's a she's a TikToker and
she's a mom, and so you know, she gets to
speak on behalf of all the other moms who watched
TikTok is accusing Target of not consulting one single fing
mother when they brought in their new carts. Apparently she
was shopping at Target, as you'll do, and saw a
(12:00):
bunch of new carts lined up and ready to be
put into the rotation and said that I didn't find
a picture, so I'm just going off her description. But
there's like a bucket seat for the kid, but directly
next to the bucket seat and within just a casual
reach for the baby, who you would you know, put
in that bucket seat is where you'd put your Starbey's,
(12:21):
your Starbucks' coffees, your iced coffee, or the one you
bring from home, so you look like you stopped at
the Starby's before I know how target works. Anyways, she
accused Target. I'm not consulting any mother, because any mother
would have told you you can't put the cup holder
that close or she's going to be grabbing my straw. Hmmmm.
(12:41):
And other mothers agreed. I'm not a mother, so I
don't want to speak for them, but I'll speak for
how we did our kids, because I was present for
some of that. That cup holder or any cup holder
in a shopping carr is exclusively for snacks with the kid,
(13:03):
right like you have your little cup with handles and
the little nonspill or at least like spill resistant top
that they can reach their hand in and get the
gold fish out without throwing the cup everywhere and flying
spilling little fishies onto the ground. Like that's what that's
there for. I would imagine somebody was consulted about that
(13:24):
and thought, you know, there's people who are going to
use this for snacks, and mom can just hold her
own coffee cup, You lazy. No, I'm just kidding. I'm
not speaking for all mom. I get it. I wouldn't
want a kid messing with my drink either. Then again,
you could just hold it, you know. And isn't that
half the part, not just being seen in target, but
(13:44):
being seen in Target holding a coffee cup with a
certain brand on it, holding yourself. We're gonna chop this out.
I'm in the studio today. It's very hot in here.
I shut the door now. I'm sweating, so that's not cool.
Thank goodness's ending here in about fourteen minutes. I'll take
that all day long. I'll take that. Thanks for being
(14:06):
here for today's show. Glad to be back at it. Man,
if i'll talk to you this afternoon, cool, But if not,
no worse. You're here for the best part now and
I appreciate it. We'll talk to you tomorrow.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes.
