Speaker 1 (00:09):
I'll tell you what.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
I'm all kinds of jacked up right now. Did I
just break the microphone? I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
I'm all kinds of jacked up right now.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
I just rewatched Rage Against the Machine and their their
concert they did back in two thousand, directly across the
street and from the Democratic National Convention in LA.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Some powerful stuff.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Man, Just the first twenty seconds before the music even
starts is some powerful stuff, and.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
It got me pumped up. I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
They had to disperse that crowd with I think rubber
bullets and stuff back of the day.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Anyways, welcome to it.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
I'm not sure if that's connected in any way to
finding out that I'm gonna have to miss my kids
first day of school, especially my son's first day of kindergarten,
because I got to drive four hours to Little Rock
for a meeting. I feel like I can't say know
to because of fear. So yay for that.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Welcome in. This is the Girly Show. It's the show
we do before the show.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
It's where we kind of flesh out the things we're
gonna do when we do the actual show in the afternoon,
which by the way, is not nearly as good as
this one, so I'm glad you're here for it today.
Just what is back to school shopping doing to parents?
If it's making you stressed, even tear up a little,
you're not alone. Maybe some what's the word when people
all commiserate, that's the one. Maybe some commiseration. I don't
(01:31):
know if that's the plural for it, but either way,
that's coming up plats. America's favorite hobbies is yours on there.
I'm so sorry that sounds like a benign like mid
two thousand's Today Show tease, you know. Coming up next,
(01:51):
America's favorite hobbies is yours on the list? And what's
your dog's favorite color? Oreo and Coke are going to
join forces and create something especially delicious, they say, and
a cup that feels like it's a year or two
late plus and this is the cool stuff. And I
(02:12):
say cool, not in like a sense that I'm behind
it or support it in any way, just more of
a kind of interesting. Just how many people are being
influenced by their favorite musicians when it comes to voting,
specifically Taylor Swift and Beyonce and quick little reminder from
(02:33):
the police for back to school photos will do that
as well. I feel like it's fear mongering, but it's
good to go over, especially with that being so top
of mind right now. In fact, let's kick things off
right now with the Child Rescue Coalition and the Springfield
Police Department partnering up to give the news the story
to print.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
That's what they did, but it all has to do with.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Back to school photos and some stuff you want to
make sure does not make it into the photo. We're
all going to take them. They just say, please, don't
share your child's school name, your child's teacher's name, don't
share their favorite things, which makes a lot of sense,
even though it's so tempting to do, like if you're
trying to get a kid to all right, hold on, Clinton,
(03:17):
let's not just dive into the pretending we're trying to
kidnap a kid thing. But if you were, wouldn't you
want to know their favorite stuff? And then make sure
all logos and school locations are hidden in the photo,
so don't take it in front of the school. Basically,
speaking of Springfield and back to school, I know that
(03:38):
Parkview High School because it's on Grant AV has been
particularly tough the last couple of.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Years to enter or get.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
To because I don't know what they're doing with that road,
but it's taken a decade to get fixed up. Turns
out the Grant Avenue project and the twenty six million
dollars they're spending on redoing that street will complete, they're
saying now a year from now, in summer twenty five.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
So good news.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Right, What are the main kind of avenues that's not
a main street through town?
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Right?
Speaker 2 (04:14):
I mean, if you're trying to go anywhere south of downtown,
try to get the sunshine, you don't want to take
National or Glenstone. He's cut right across Grant. It was
a nice one and then it didn't exist for a while.
Next summer it will and that's good news if you
are a parent, you know, and I today we're going
through like school supplies that we already have to try
(04:34):
to see what we need we're on this upcoming school year,
and then back to school shopping we got closed.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
I think we're going to get backpacks and stuff.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
But ooh, four hundred and fifty eight dollars per kid,
that's what the national average is on back to school stuff.
We have two that's one thousand dollars and I just
found out we got to pay four thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Yeah, to fix my wife's vehicle. I've had some angry calls.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
It's less than dude my way's vehicle, less than a
hundred thousand miles, it is four years old, and it's
requiring a replacement part that only costs thousands of dollars
to put in, but should last two hundred thousand miles
minimum less.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Than one hundred thousand. It's gone.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Anyways, if you are feeling the stress, you are not alone.
Forty four percent of moms and dads have rated their
back to school stress level as extra high this year,
and a quarter of them say it's more stressful than
the holidays. No, I gotta buy presents for that too.
It's making me even more stressed out. America's favorite hobbies
(05:39):
and activities have been announced after a survey of sixty
thousand Americans turns out we've got about five hours of
free time. Well, hold on, we average about five hours
a day of free time.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
That's not right.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
That can't possible. What are they counting sleep? Anyways, Americans
spend more time on leisure activities and hobbies every day
than everything else except sleep.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
That's not true either. What is this study hold on?
Speaker 2 (06:10):
So the two things that we just said, the average
person you and I have about five hours of free
time every day.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
I don't believe that.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Also, Americans spend more time on their leisure activities and
hobbies every day than everything else we do except sleep. No, unless,
like taking care of your kids is a leisure activity
than maybe whatever the survey says Steve Harvey.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Cooking number one.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Well, see there you go. I mean, I guess some
people have that as a hobby. I just do it
because we have to right legally. Cooking is the number
one hobby in America, followed by baking. Forty one percent
of people admit that those are hobbies of theirs. Reading,
which is surprising because I'm gonna be honest with you, guys,
I've been on Facebook. I'm not sure people are reading
(07:03):
anything anymore other than headlines. And that doesn't count. This
barely counts just reading this list of stuff. Thirty seven
percent of people. That's number three. I did not see
golf or fishing. I know, the outdoor activities. I guess
we'd be a kind of umped in with was number
four so that's something. At least we're getting outdoors reading.
(07:24):
People don't do that anymore. Onto some food news. Oreo
and Coke I've joined forces to create a new cookie
and drink. It's called Diabetes and it's in stores and
blood streams everywhere.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
No, it's uh.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
They're gonna make a sandwich cookie and a Coca Cola
Oreo zero sugar soda.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
It should be out mid September. Somehow.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
This is tied in with a Besties Mode merchandise line
at Forever twenty one. I'm okay, you're gonna tell me
that Oreo has left milk for Coke and they're gonna
go best E Mode forever to one. Now, come on,
that's just lunacy. Coke has broken up with Vanilla ice cream.
My god, what world is this? Also speaking of collaborations,
(08:14):
Barbie and Stanley have teamed up to create the Barbie
Stanley Quencher Cup fifty to sixty dollars for a giant
thing that's got Barbie on it and pink and glitter
and stuff. And it just doesn't it feel like it's
at least a year too late for this, Like, do
people care still about Stanley's anymore. Is that still a thing?
(08:36):
My daughter bought one with her own money, didn't you seezy?
How much do you drink out of that Stanley?
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Now?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Look at your face, Look at you. You don't even
know do you even know where it is right now?
It's in your room or at least you know that anyways,
you can get that, I think September sixteenth. Oh, they're
even announcing the day and time. Ooh, noon eastern September sixteenth.
No doubt they'll sell out.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Guys. Here's what I thought was interesting.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
And this is again because I'm not supporting a side
by taking one here, although you know I certainly have
my opinion. Gen Z, which is a huge get for
political parties, are being significantly or at least more likely
(09:29):
to vote for a candidate endorsed by their favorite music artists. Specifically,
thirty four percent of gen Zer's surveyed said that they
are significantly more likely or more likely to vote for
somebody if Taylor Swift endorses them Beyonce forty percent. Now,
this is not a one way street, because it turns
(09:51):
out the same amount or nearly the same amount of
gen Zers will significantly less likely or be less likely
to vote for, you know whoever TATA endorses. Eighteen percent
said the same about Beyonce. It's about twenty six percent
for Taylor Swift, and less than a third said celebrity
influencers won't influence my decision to vote, because I think
(10:13):
of a third of them are saying they won't be swayed.
I think you can directly correlate that to the amount
of gen z ers who just actually won't.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Vote at all. Gen Z voting versus non voting. We're
just gonna google that real quick. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
I'm not going to worry about this. We're just about
out of time anyways. I think one story to go.
No wait, no stories to go. We're done. Dang, I
went fast today. All right, Well, do you want to
listen to me read through Google search results until I
find the thing that I'm looking for? Here? By the way,
gen Z ninety seven or after until you get to
(10:51):
a certain age.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Then it's alpha now right, and they.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Can't vote yet. It's gen Z and about eight million
of them now eligible to vote in twenty twenty four
to forty excuse me, eight million new ones and now
forty one million people gen Zers will be eligible. I
don't know how many are not voting. I guess we'll
see either way. Thanks for being here today. We're gonna
(11:14):
chop this up and turn it into a show. This
up or do it if you would to?
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Why am I do?
Speaker 2 (11:17):
In the second Airline Pilot. We're gonna chop this up
and turn this into a show for later on this afternoon.
If you care to stick a round for that, that'd
be great. If not, don't worry you Just sit back, relaxed.
We're glad you're here for this, and we'll talk to
you Tabar
I'll tell you what.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
I'm all kinds of jacked up right now. Did I
just break the microphone? I'll tell you what.
