Speaker 1 (00:09):
How come everything I've ever been told or seen on
TV about Australia makes me believe it is the world's
most dangerous place to live. Have you seen all of
the animals there that try to kill you? The spiders
that are bigger than backpacks, the kangaroos who want to
stand up fight you like it's the nineteen twenties on
(00:31):
an Atlantic coast pier and the Koala bears with their syphilis.
And yet, in spite of all these things that I've
seen or been led to believe, do you know Australians
live on average about four years longer than Americans do.
How is that possible? The experts say it's because of
(00:55):
several reasons. Reason number one, and look, understand how politicized
this is, but this is what they're saying. The reason
is people in Australia are living longer than people here.
A lot of these answers are going to be politicized,
but here's just what they have said, and I will
read them without comment for you to be the judge,
(01:16):
because you cannot dispute the numbers. The reasons they say
Australians live longer than Americans is number one. They have
universal health care number two, their smoking rate is much lower.
In fact, Australia has implemented clamp downs on dangerous things
like tobacco, also low quality food, illicit and prescription drugs,
(01:42):
as well as firearms, as well as implementing very aggressive
policies to promote better health and improve car safety. They also,
on average reason number three, move more and eat healthier
than us. Seen the videos, though, how is it possible
(02:02):
with all of the dangers surrounding them? I guess that
those are pretty good reasons, but still blows my mind
that Australians somehow live four years longer than us. Welcome
to the Girly Show. It's the show we do before
the show that's actually more entertaining, I think than the
real show that airs in the afternoon, because in this
one we're we're just figuring out what we're gonna say later,
and to me, that's the more entertaining part. I don't
(02:27):
know if I'll do the break exactly like that about Australia.
Will I even bring it up at all? I don't know.
The second you're like, why do they live longer than us?
And people like leaning in listening, and then you go
directly against what they've been told by the politicians they support.
You know, it's not great. Probably won't do that story.
(02:48):
What about the one where the guy is suing Disney
and because he has a Disney Plus membership he can't.
This one super sucks and is actually really sad and scary.
But if you've got a Disney Plus subscription, you should
probably pay attention. Scrupture, let me take the dip out
(03:11):
of your mouth before you start talking to you idiot. Also,
the Jordan Childs metal drama gets a new twist. NASA
and the International Space Station. You know there's people on
that right now. After we talk about it. Instead of
me saying there's people on that right now, I think
the sentence changes to there's people stuck on that right now.
And if you've always wanted to smell like the mall
(03:35):
fantastic news come in your way. But first, this one
terrifying to me because we are in the middle of
a financial crisis, not nationally globally. You know, like fifty
eight percent of people believe we're in recession right now,
even though we're not at all like the typical signs
that you know, business and economics uses to say recession
(03:57):
and not recession. We're not. The reason things are so
expensive is because of we've said it here before ready
corporate greed. And yet I'm not talking about that. I'm
talking about me personally. Four thousand dollars for a car repair,
eight thousand dollars for window replacements. This is just the
(04:18):
last half of August and first week of September, thirteen
thousand dollars gone. We're feeling it. Plus back to school yay.
So today I learned from Investipedia, which is I assume
(04:40):
a do order door investment, a sales book they're trying
to sell you, much like Encyclopedia Britannicas in the eighties.
Investipedia says that the actual amount of money that Americans
should have for their emergency savings is way more than
we've ever been told. How much do you think we
should have for emergency savings things like big time emergency
(05:04):
medical bill or list out any other terrible thing that
could happen. I mean, obviously there's some catastrophic things you
can't be ready for, but the majority of emergency things
that happen the financial media sign oh that's what it is.
Investipedia says you should have about thirty three thousand dollars
(05:26):
saved just put by just in case. That is, if
you're wondering about four times as much as the typical
household has in its checking and savings account combined, which
Federal data sends is about eighty three one hundred bucks.
(05:46):
I'm gonna be straight up with it. Eighty three hundred
sounds pretty good to me at this point in my life.
Right now, come on, all this stuff. We'll get there eventually,
right and I'll just lose sleep every night till we
do thirty three grand. So I want to talk about
(06:07):
this guy suing Disney, because if you have a Disney
Plus subscription, be very aware of what is in the
disclaimers and what are they called terms of service. That's right.
There's a guy named Jeffrey Piccolow whose wife passed away
(06:27):
after eating at Disney Springs restaurant last fall. He says,
and by the way, I am also married to a
woman who has a severe allergy to food, not nuts
and dairy, which is what her wife or his wife
was allergic to. He was assured by the staff at
(06:48):
the pub there were no nuts or dairy in her meal. Well,
they either didn't take it seriously or flat out lied
out of laziness. I don't know, but she's dead because
of it, and so he's suing them for fifty thousand
dollars Disney. Disney's lawyers, however, are claiming he can't sue us.
(07:12):
He agreed to settle all disputes through arbitration when he
bought a Disney Plus subscription five years ago. It's in
the terms of service. Guys, you can't sue us because
of the restaurant, because you stream The Little Mermaids sometimes.
(07:35):
Can you believe? I mean I can. There's nothing about
this that I can't believe. I don't know why I
would say that at all. I believe the same thing
about corporations as I do about churches. The bigger they get,
the worse they are for humanity. I know that's a
big statement. Think about it like this. I think we
(07:56):
already know. It's not that hard to figure out that
big corporations are terrible for you know, people, like individual
people or awful this giant corporation whose wife died because
of some negligent service and a terrible situation. The company's
going to hide behind a disclaimer in their streaming site
because she died at a meal or because of a
(08:17):
meal at a restaurant of theirs, because of the guys
on their streaming site. He can't sue, all right, that
sucks and is terrible. So you can understand that the
church is thing. Why did I include that? I just
how many people are disaffected by Christianity? A lot, a ton? Right?
(08:42):
How many more people are affected poorly because they got
into Christianity or their main experience with it was because
of a church made up of too many people to
care about them individually, or at least tailor their care
to the individual in a way that benefited the individual
more than it benefited the church. Churches at a certain point,
(09:05):
I don't know what point it is, have this habit
of trying to be like the other big churches and
turn into entities in and of themselves. And that ain't it?
All of a sudden, protecting the church is more important
than protecting the person it hurt. You know, it's my thought.
(09:28):
You could take it or leave it. Truthfully, I don't
care whatever you want to do you say, it doesn't
matter to me. The Jordan Child's Metal Drama a little
bit of twist and intrigue here So to refresh, Jordan
Chiles was an Olympian gymnast who was forced to give
up her bronze medal after the Court of Arbitration for
(09:52):
Sport said, now that belongs to this girl from Romania.
You guys reported your thing four seconds too late, and
now it belongs to her. That is our ruling, as
the arbiter. Well turns out, Romanian gymnast Anna Barbosu may
(10:13):
have benefited just a smidge more than say she was
from a different country, because the head of the Court
of Arbitration for Sport, the panel that made the decision,
has worked with the Romanians since at least twenty eleven,
probably longer. USA Gymnastics has not said anything specifically about that,
(10:39):
but has said that they will continue to pursue every
possible avenue an appeal process to get her her metal back.
So did you know that the International Space Station currently
has two astronauts on it? And after we finished talking
about this, I believe we can reframe that statement too.
Did you know that the International Space Station right now
(11:02):
has two astronauts stuck on it? That's because after sending
Butch Willmore and Cinita Williams to the ISS in June
aboard the Boeing Starliner. NASA has now come out and said,
now we're not quite sure how we're gonna get them
back or when that's gonna happen. The problem stems from
(11:25):
and let me know if you heard this one before
Boeing the craft itself had problems in several of the
twenty eight different reaction control thrusters on there. NASA trying
to figure out what happened, gonna get with Boeing. They're
gonna lie through their teeth because guess what, that's what
big corporations do. The corporation's more important than the people.
(11:48):
It hurts. Oh boy, we're just gonna keep going with
this today, Okay, all right, man, geez, hopefully they get
home safe. I don't know what else to say of it.
It just sucks that you go from the beginning of
the story where you're like, oh, that's cool, and then
you're like, oh, they're stuck. Okay, well that's worse ended
on an upswing today. If you've always wanted to smell
(12:12):
like that very first big whiff you get every time
you enter the battlefield mall, or any mall in America
for that matter, here he's your chance. Anti and Pretzels
has dropped their signature fragrance need a do Pretzel. It's
(12:33):
the name and pronounced correctly. I might add I was
at a pop up kind of fragrance event thing in
New York City. Sold out immediately, because yeah, dumb stuff
like that. Will you know, all you have to do
is offer up like three of them and then you
can be like, oh my god, we sold out in seconds.
I don't know if that's what happened here. I'm just
saying I think people have caught on to the trick
(12:56):
that is, tickets are gonna sell out, guys or tickets
sold out, but wait, we found some more, you know
what I mean. The need's not that big, but all right,
we get it moving on. Auntie Anne says they're always
looking for new ways to engage their audience. Okay, they
have seventeen hundred different locations across the country, possibly starting
(13:17):
to sell the fragrance than signature sense in air fresheners
or candles. I think those are fun. That's a fun gift.
I also think Auntie Anne's has maybe the best marketing
strategy of all time. Why mess with it? Auntie Ann's
Prentals doesn't have to advertise. Do you understand this? Out
(13:37):
of all the businesses at say the mall or anywhere
just anywhere in the world, Auntie Anne's is one of
the only that doesn't have to advertise in order to
keep business going. And I hate to say that, I
work for a company, by the way, a large corporation.
You can take what you want with that. That is
(13:58):
purely in the business of adzing. Right, used to be
fifty to fifty. I don't think it is anymore. We're
just advertisers now, and that's okay, fine, that's what we do.
It's what social media does. That's all Anti Ends doesn't
have to It would be ridiculous to take an advertising
package to them and be like, hey, we could put
something together. Marketing wise, it's gonna just blow your socks off. No,
(14:19):
you can't, because all anti EN's has to do is
show up somewhere or show up for the day in
a place they've existed for years, turn on the pretzel
making machine whatever. I don't even know how do they
do it, and the second that smell hits the air,
it's the greatest commercial you could ever have. In fact,
(14:42):
that them putting it into fragrances makes it even stronger. Man,
we don't need commercials. Someone put my candle in their house,
we'll see them in a couple weeks. We're gonna turn
all this into a shew. Probably leave out the corporate stuff.
Nobody likes to hear me complain about that. Probably the
church stuff too. Just a quick heads up, that doesn't
(15:03):
sound like pop radio, does it got off on a
bit of a tangent there. It's on me. It's fine.
This will turn into a show one way or the other.
And I'm glad you were here for this one. I
always am. We'll talk to you tomorrow.
