Speaker 1 (00:12):
Rocking like a you know, there's a hurricane coming not here, thankfully, sorry.
I'm getting my screens all put the way that they
should be. I need the recording to the left that
are just skip no okay, and all the preps in
the middle, and then over here it's just a free
(00:32):
for all. Chrome is open, slowing my computer way down,
and off we go. Welcome. It is the ninth of October.
There is a hurricane barreling towards now the Gulf side
of Florida, Tampa Bay. I expected to take the BRONTO
because of that. There's obviously a lot of things that
need to happen in the the the radio sphere. Is
(00:54):
that anything, I'll make it up, does make it up?
Oh my god coined. Anyways, I'm not sure what my
bid in that is. And you'd think, well, what, who cares? Man,
You're in Springfield, Missouri. Very very true. But still you
want to be able to help. You want to help
where you can. I've got things that I'm pretty good at,
I think. And yeah, so today's a lot of like
(01:17):
just being this is so dumb. I'm not trying to
inject myself into this terrible situation and be like Look,
I'm a hero, you guys. All right, it's not it.
It's just I feel like a responsibility today because I
do tend to help with some of the stations, specifically
like in Tampa Bay and Orlando and a couple other
Florida cities that just be near just be near the computer, right, like, yes, Clint,
(01:40):
continue to just not work, but just hang out by
the computer. At least that's what we're gonna do. And
we're gonna do this podcast, and we're gonna prep for
this afternoon's show. A lot of things happening, including Kitchen Envy,
the best deals on Prime Day, the second of which
happening today. But but but but wait, there's my plus,
(02:05):
what names are going to be uh coming back in
twenty twenty five, like trendy, way way old names. So
we'll go to the list of those. There are some
interesting ones coming back in twenty twenty five. Plus I
don't know, Teddy Bear Day, you want to do that?
And then Spirit Halloween, not stopping at Halloween anymore. I
(02:27):
do want to start first and foremost with what happened
this past weekend. And look, it doesn't matter if you're
a college football fan or not. I think you can
understand this story. Uh So Alabama. Alabama has been a
perennial powerhouse of not only a literation but just very
(02:51):
very good football for the last fifteen twenty years. And
this year they played the game in Nashville, Tennessee. That's
where the College of Vanderbilt is. You know, Vanderbilt University.
Not a lot of people do. They're not great at sports.
And Alabama's former head coach has been quoted as to say,
(03:15):
it's the only place in the SEC. It's not very
difficult to play a game. Everywhere else is hard. Vanderbilt
is kind of like a nice week off. Well, looks
like the Alabama team of twenty twenty four tried to
take the week off and lost. They were ranked number
four in the country. Vanderbilt was not ranked at all,
and Vanderbilt beat him. And because it had been maybe
(03:38):
forever since the team that powerful had come to Vanderbilt
and not come out with a victory, the students and
I'm assuming a lot of adults too because they haven't
seen it either, stormed the field after the victory and
not an uncommon thing. Right, all big win, yay, let's celebrate, celebrate, celebrate,
but Vanderbilt's fans actually uh knocked the goal posts over.
(04:04):
In all the excitement, We're like, let's burn this mother down,
you know, And they took the goal post down. Again.
It's not super common, but it's not uncommon as we like,
we've heard about this happening before. Now, what I haven't
seen you or it's been a very long time since
I've seen it, is that not only did they take
the goal post down, they didn't just stop there. They
(04:27):
removed the goalposts as a crowd basically crowd surfing the
goal posts out of the stadium, walking them down Broadway
in Nashville, and eventually ran into the river and then
threw the goal post into the river their own stadium,
mind you, their own property. It costs the school about
(04:48):
one hundred thousand dollars total, and in order to recoup
some of those costs, they're not even mad by the way,
Vanderbilt Universe. I'm sure that maybe internally some of the
English professors or whatever are like, oh, how dare you
Vanderbilt on football school? Still pretty exciting. They threw them
into the river to recoup some of the costs. They're
actually cutting them up into pieces. Now they've recovered them
(05:08):
out of the river, cutting them up into pieces and
selling eight inch chunks of the goalpost for about four
grand apiece. If you want like a two inch or
four inch chunk, you can get that for about a grand.
Here's hoping and guaranteed they were like, math guy, math
professors coming here, What can we cut these? How do
we make one hundred thousand dollars off this? And I'm
sure they did the math very quickly. It's really a
(05:29):
story about coming together as a community, I think. But
still pretty cool and now I never mind. Nobody cares
about that. Moving on. Today is national bring your Teddy
Bear to Workday. I believe tomorrow's holiday is national. Why
we shouldn't harass our employees at workday or make fun
of them? I got to find a better made up
(05:50):
holiday to make the joke there. If today is national
bring your teddy Bear to Work Day, certainly tomorrow is
national Let's refresh our harassment in office Harassment Policies Day. Right, Okay,
that's a good one. We'll hold on to that either way.
(06:10):
Eighty percent of people had a teddy bear as a kid.
I did, did you? He was a yellow bear? That
was his name, and it's a very sad end to
that story. So that's as far as we're going to go. Anyways,
you just supposed to if you sugg out your teddy bear,
bring it into work. I don't know, I how can no.
I don't want to make fun of somebody for doing
(06:32):
this or still having a teddybear that they not just possess.
But also like use is a weird word, but like
you know, rely on somehow someway as an adult. But
at the same time, man, like I don't understand that
at all, Like if somebody was to tell me, hey, today,
you can bring in a childhood toy to your adult
(06:53):
workplace and you know, just kind of have it with
you hard pass. Not because I don't have a heart
or something or didn't have childhood toys, but but but
like I'm an adult man, you know, like I don't need,
I don't anything. That's really it. It's not so much a
words explanation, It's more of just a feeling I'll express
(07:17):
through a series of grunts and moans. That sounds terrible,
but just like, oh, it's national bring your teddy bear
to work, take a right, Oh, have fun. I think
the I think the punch out is certainly tomorrow's going
to be I'm going to write it down to what
do we say? It was all caps? That's how I
(07:38):
make it national. Let's review our in office harassment policy day.
Is that too long? Is there fat on that we
can cut off? We'll figure it out. So Spirit Halloween.
I loved the Saturday Night Live sketch that they did,
(08:01):
and I don't even think it was a sketch. It
was like a recorded piece where it was like a
fake commercial for you know, Spirit Halloween. Just popping up,
filling every empty real estate space commercially in your area,
every you know, September, and then leaving immediately as soon
as Halloween is over. I think that's funny. I think
that's exactly what they do. You would imagine though, I mean,
this is as popular as this place isn't as clearly
(08:24):
as much money as they're making, why not try to
keep it going? And they are not just Halloween. It's
not just Spirit Halloween. In fact, they've opened up I
think a dozen or so stores for Christmas decorations, which
makes so much sense. You know when you go to like,
I don't know, what are these stores that people buy
(08:44):
decorations from. They're not exclusively decoration stores, but they've already
got the Well it's Halloween, we go Spirit Halloween and
buire some stuff for pretty cheap. It's knockoff, but who cares.
Why not do the same thing with Christmas? And it
looks like they're doing it now. None of these stores
are going to be around us. They're all Northeast things. Still,
that's a story we could talk about. I don't even
(09:05):
want to say it's cool. But still, they got ten
pop up stores, which aren't they all pop up stores
for Spirit anyway, they'll even have Santa there just a
short hitter. Walmart's going to be closing all their stores
once again on Thanksgiving this year. I love that. I
feel like Walmart is the the what is it, the sounding,
the tuning fork, the sounding. I don't know, Walmart, whatever
(09:29):
Walmart does, other retailers do. So the fact that Walmart's like, nah, man,
we're closing up on Thanksgiving. Let let our employees do it.
I hate giant corporations, you know this, But I love
that they are giving their employees at least some time off.
So that's really neat the next story is about glitter freckles.
Anybody with glitter freckles, just a heads up. They may
(09:51):
be on your kids if you've got a Swifty in
your house's wish list. This year, Taylor went to the
Saints game. She wore a plaid off shoulder little with
calf high boots and temporary glitter freckles that matched her
chain necklace and earrings. The Taylor Swift Effect, which is
a company or website that tracks the things that Taylor
(10:12):
wears and then like how popular those will be later
says that yeah, party season, they're gonna be huge. Amazon
sixteen bucks, you may want to get in front of it.
I'm sure they're gonna sell out. Amazon's second Prime Day
is happening today, and you might be tempted as I
have been. And we talked about this a couple days ago.
To start buying some stuff for the holidays, not me.
(10:34):
I needed a mop, which I did buy, and I
needed some shoes for my son. I'm still looking. They say,
if you're gonna start doing your Christmas shopping right now, though,
don't because price forecasters say best deals are still ahead.
In fact, in between Thanksgiving and cyber Mondays. When you're
gonna be able to find the best deals on stuff.
So even though it's really tempting right now with these
(10:55):
prime days happening, like maybe maybe just cool your jets
a little bit, save up some better deals on the way.
And finally, twenty twenty five, according to baby experts, I
would imagine the very good parent. They say that, get
ready for a full on onslaught of like super old
(11:16):
throwback names making their way back into popularity. And we're
not talking about like, you know, there's been like some
jacks on some all the jacks, are you know these
older names. No, we're talking about ones like Goldie and
Birdie and Wilhelmina and ignacious and Aloycious, which, by the way,
(11:37):
those last three Wilhelmina, Ignacious, and Aloisious all fit what
I believe the criteria to be for naming a baby
in twenty twenty four. Take a name that you've heard
before for sure, Like you might not know an ignacious
or an Aloysious, but you've heard the name before. Do
you know how to spell it? And he guesses how
to spell aloisious. Therein is the criteria. You may have
(12:00):
heard Gwendolyn before. I guess what three, why's sixteen n's
that's how we name our kids in twenty twenty four. Aloysius,
by the way, is spelled just as complicated A L
O Y s I us Aloysius. It looks like alloy
see us Aloisius, ignatious, Wilhelmina, Poppy, Nellie, Stevie, Scottie. Did
(12:27):
they just name everything needed to be an ie or
a y at the end back in the day? Either way,
get ready for him. They're coming, and now you know
how to spell aloysious. I feel like I've done my
part to further society today. The only other thing we
didn't get to was the kitchen envy. But there's no
stats to back this one up. Like I scanned it
while I was doing the name thing here, and it's
(12:51):
just like, yeah, nine out of ten people say they
want their kitchen to be the best looking room in
their house. If you go to somebody's house it has
a better kitchen, you get kitchen envy. Yeah, I mean
that's not Please tell me this wasn't a study. I
hate it when they spend money on studies for stuff
like we just knew kind of already, you know, Save
it for science, not when you visit someone's house who
(13:13):
has a better kitchen, you go ooh and kind of
wish you had that kitchen too. No, come on, even dudes,
do it? Look at all the room in this fridge
for bearn beef jerky? Is that the stereotypical guy doesn't matter.
We're gonna chop this up, turn it into a show
later this afternoon. Thanks for being here for this one
a little long today, I apologize for that. Either way,
(13:35):
thanks for being here for it, and we'll talk to
you later this week. Oh snap, I missed this one story.
By the way, just briefly. A mama bear named Grazer
has won the Fattist Bear Contest. The Catmai National Park
(13:55):
and Preserve announced last week that she garnered more than
seventy one thousand votes to claim her crown as the
thickest queen in all the land. I'm literally reading this
verbatim because I love that line. The runner up this year,
nicknamed Chunk, took less than half of the votes, with
just over thirty thousand, And of course, Grazer's victory this
(14:17):
year unseats last year's champion, your mom
Rocking like a you know, there's a hurricane coming not here, thankfully, sorry.
I'm getting my screens all put the way that they
should be. I need the recording to the left that
are just skip no okay, and all the preps in
