Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, killing Ash, Good morning, Good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
When we took up bumps and bruises over the weekend,
now we're getting into thick of it on a Monday.
The things the do list is getting long.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Brother, Oh really, Sally got you're running around?
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Well, I got all kind of stuff happening here. My
security system just died last night for some reason. I
went to set it, so I got a technician coming over.
We got a problem with the transformer, got a Transform
prop Kelly.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
My wife had a get together for her girlfriends on Saturday,
So I spent a good part of Saturday in hiding,
no getting ready for the get together. Sorry, Okay, that
rain that came through really screwed us, because even though
it only lasted like a half hour, you know, she
(00:48):
had already kind of set up everything outside. They were
having an outdoor well, they were having an indoor outdoor
get together where the girls were watching what's the name
of that movie? You've Got Mail? And so hey, you've
got male theme night, all right, and then the movie
was going to be shown in the backyard, And so
I was spent right up to almost kickoff air drying.
(01:13):
I'm out there with like the leaf blower trying to
air dry the pillows and whatnot. Yeah, so I was
actually late for the kickoff at my friend's house because
I was trying to get that thing. So but she
had a great time, you know her, and this so
I understand the honeydo lists. They get long and weird sometimes.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Yes, yes, So I'm attacking all that this afternoon beginning
here pretty quick for the tech guy from ADT got
to have a transformer, said, can I just go buy
one though somewhere, No, you have to have the tech
cognition come out and install it.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Well, we'll try to make this podcast quick and to
the point then, and we'll start with your last chance.
I'm told from our friend Rick that this is the
last pair of tickets we got for Jason Alden tomorrow morning,
and if you want to win them of the day,
testa tura tests a toura a ta, Yeah, t u
are a testatura.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
I have absolutely not a not a clue.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
You don't even want to venture one of your famous
toura one of your famous guesses, I'll give you one.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
So this is a prerequisite to a la carte where
you can order an item on the menu just by itself. Okay,
So testa tura was actually like two items. So it's like,
if you wanted to get just two items, that's testa tura.
I'd like to order that testa tura and it would
(02:40):
be like just two items on the menu. Could have
been a salad with something, or you know, like a salad.
This is like the original half scene, which a cup
of soup could have been the original half and half
lunch steal. Testa tura, I like it.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
It's actually the range of a vocal or instrumental part. Huh,
So how how and how low do you have to go?
That's the testatura.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
So Carrie Underwood would be stellar with tura.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
She is, but that would not be the testatura. The
testatura would be the part of the musical piece. Oh
how big of a range do you need? Yes, or
the guitar or whatever. So any the range inside of
a musical piece is the testatura of the piece. Okay,
again a word that we don't need, but it's fun
to have it in your hip pocket.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
So if I were to judge that just on the street,
it would be not only the preponderance of bass that
insists on rattling the carjack that I believe now that
people who want to show off their stereo systems actually
loosen the mount on their carjack so it adds more rattle.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Oh wow, that.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Means my system is so strong my entire automobile rattles
because of it.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Could that actually at one point fall apart? Would that
be the best? That is like a bumper's all off?
Like oh my gosh, I achieved bumper madness.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
But it is also then the testatura of that particular
model would be the addition of four or five piazzo
tweeters per s that okay, While the ever the nearly
ear shattering symbol.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
I would say that the testatura of most Jason al
Dean songs is pretty minimal, pretty because Jason Alden is
not known for a huge vocal range. Although I am
not factoring in guitar solos, perhaps inside the guitar solos
on Jason Alden records, the guitar must go high and
(04:41):
then really low. I don't know if that happens. I
haven't analyzed it, but my assumption would be the testatura
on Jason Alden musical pieces would.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Be as opposed to While I'm a guitar gently weeps
which had some incredible.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Highs, or even our national anthem that's a wide testatura
that it's a great examp. Yeah, so there's your answer,
and again we have that printed for you in the
morning Rust Blog ninety seven five, w COS dot com.
Other things that we can talk about tomorrow. Have you
ever considered what professions would make for the worst spouses?
(05:17):
It's something I had not considered, but it was a
question recently asked. And now again this is very unscientific,
So don't have your feelings hurt if you happen to
work in one of these. This is just two thousand
people at random answering the question, and these are all
people apparently have personal experience with said persons in that.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
So I would say the top would have to be
like surgeons in the like.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
On this one, it says restaurant slash bar manager. Oh,
and they said they basically work fifteen hours a day,
every holiday, every weekend. The term restaurant widow is a
very real thing.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
How about car salespersons, You would think that'd be high
on the list. They have to be on the lot
all the time because you want to get it. You
got to get it up. As they say, up would
be the next customone who walks up or drives up
is an up, got to get it up? Who got?
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Who? I do not see? I do not see car
salesperson on here. I do see uh police officers, I
see uh surgeons. And in a surgeon it says the
personality type of a surgeon is a relentless sociopathic person,
someone of a singular interest. Now, even though it's a
(06:34):
good thing, being a good surgeon, they are totally obsessed
with it and they cannot veer outside of that topic.
Police officers, lawyers. Lawyers are often married to the job,
and they're also a lot of them are obsessed by money.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
And the ones that are not obsessed by money, they
say they're obsessed with some sort of social justice and
so no room for just a normal lifestyle. When their
flight attendants jet lagged bodies often home for days or
even weeks, and cheating becomes rampant in this profession. Pilots
(07:12):
as well. Probably that's where the cheating is starting with
the pilots and the flight attendants. Architects high strung consider
themselves perfectionists, often narcissistic.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Really at all like Mike Brady. He was always available
for family tragedies. He had the office right there in
this house. One of the first times we've ever seen
that happen.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Well, you know, and you had doctor Cliff Huxtable was
a great doctor, and Claire was a lawyer. So I mean,
you had Claire and Cliff. But again, those are television nurses.
But I found this one clergy. The spouse and children
usually suffer under the constant microscope of being the family
members of somebody in the clergy.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
That's why you hear about preachers kids all the time.
Got the p ks. I do like this one.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Musicians they're flaky as hell, they work crappy hours, and
they're always broke.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
That's great.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Well, anyway, maybe we'll talk about maybe you've picked up
on one of these types of jobs that always lead
to bad spouse, or usually lead to bad spouse.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
I think he's growing out of it now. But when
he first started his business, his wife said, I almost
left him. I'm glad of didn't, but almost left him.
He was a toteck truck driver. Oh and he started
off with one truck and he was the driver.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
If you are starting any business, I would imagine that's rough. Yeah,
tough to be available for much else. I know, we
know that dogs are pretty smart, but a new study
is showing that dogs may be smarter than we actually knew.
Perhaps they're just messing with us and not.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
As this is great. I came to this conclusion last
night watching Lolly.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
It says a new study of dogs finds that many
of them are able to without being told to do this.
They actually line up their toys by function so they
can do it regardless of whether or not the play
things look alike. So they're tugging toys go over here,
(09:21):
they're fetching toys go over there, so they separate them.
Scientists call this mental trick label extension. It's something that
humans use when we realize things like a mug and
a glass count both as cups, and we'll put them together.
Apparently animals can learn it too. It usually takes years
of training in order to train somebody as an animal
(09:42):
to do this, but these dogs were doing it on
their own, and they would and they would usually learn
it within a week, and nobody taught them to do it.
They just decided that we want to, and they were
using border collies and something called the blue Healer. I've
never heard of a.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Suppose to be real smart anyway.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Yeah, so if they learned the commands pull and fetch,
then they started automatically putting the pull toys together, whether
they looked alike or not, and the fetch toys together.
So dogs could be smarter than we had given them
credit for. Jonathan, as we head into our you know,
it's not moral dilemma Monday, obviously, but it's uh, we
(10:26):
always have problems Morning Russia regulars. They need help. Now.
This lady is feeling the blowback because first off, she
was a victim, so we got to make that clear.
She is the victim. The teenage driver hit her. Okay,
so hit her car, I should say, so, Yes, she
(10:48):
is a victim. Now here comes the what was the dilemma, which,
according to dad, she answered wrong. Dad offered her cash
to pay for the vehicle and even a little something
something for your time and effort if you don't call
this in to the insurance company, right, and she said no,
(11:10):
because I want to make sure that everything goes right.
And the dad said, you're going to screw my kid,
and she said, I just want to follow it by
the book. Well, now looking back at it, she knows
somebody who knows that family and the kids no longer
are able to drive because the licensees or the insurance
(11:31):
is so high that they're gonna that they had to
take them off the road. And now she feels bad
about it. And what he was offering was more than
enough to have fixed the vehicle, so she would have
actually made more money.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
But to be clear, she was not friends with the family,
but she knows someone who is friends with the family. Yes,
she would not have had a friendly relationship to.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Know that she had no relationship. She had no relationship
at all. But now she feels bad. This teenager is
no longer able to drive. Who knows when he's going
to get the availability to drive again. That's going to
be on his record for quite a while.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Yeah, that's on there for a while. That's like five years.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
And you know, in retrospect, it was just a small
fender bender. She said, I've made these mistakes plenty of
times in my life. Should she have just taken the.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Cash man given that she didn't have a relationship with
the family. He's talking to Joe Schmoe Here.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
We're talking to Joe Schmoe over.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Here, Joe Schmoe shows up and he's clash some cash around.
But I don't know Joe Schmoe.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
You know well, I mean, just out of that, out
of self centeredness, could you have just said to him,
let me get it looked at at my body shop
and I'll tell you what they said is going to cost,
and then you put on an extra three hundred bucks
and we'll even Could she have done that? You're gonna
pay for the whole repair of my fender.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
I can tell you I have offered this deal before
and they took me up on it, and I was glad.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
So what if they had said, no, I don't want
your money, I want the insurance. Now you think they're
a jerk, right, Oh, you're actually biting your nose off
to spite me and my kid because you're gonna make
more money with me. The insurance is not gonna give
you a little something something extra. No, they're going to
(13:33):
cover the cost of the damage. And that's it. By
the way, I did have a friend at church the
other day. Unbelievable, some elderly woman and him had a
collision in the Sam's parking lot. Okay, now I don't
know how fast you can get going in a Sam's
parking lot. I can't imagine it's more than fifteen maybe twenty,
(13:53):
what twenty miles an hour through in the parking lot.
I don't know. I'm trying to max speed this thing.
And he said that he was at a stop sign
inside the parking lot. She was approaching the stop sign
when he started to go. She hasn't even gotten to
the stop part yet. Well she never did.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Still, she never she hit his vehicle.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
And he was giving me a praise report because we
were at church, so you got to give a praise report.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Praise report was not in the praise all but in
a praise report.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
The praise report says that they totaled the car, so
he had like a twenty ten or something like that.
And it's total though, And so they did buy him
like a U or they gave him enough so he
could get a used vehicle, so got like a twenty
eighteen or something. He got a newer car, so he
upgraded in his opinion. But he said, and they totalled
her car as well. I'm like, what the hell kind
(14:48):
of an accident happened in the SAMs parking lot where
we have two total vehicles, isn't it crazy?
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Wow? I know that vehicles aren't made of the material
they used to be made of because they have to
be lighter, so they get at the cafe standards except
by the federal government. So you're basically riding around in
a cardboard box.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Well this was twenty ten. He was excited to be
able to get at twenty eighteen.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
So okay, but.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
I don't know, I've never been anyway. That's kind of
an accident related story that just popped into my mind.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
And kind of cost of repairing automobiles has skyrocketed, and
a lot of it is because the four corners, which
are very vulnerable as you know, are now seemingly all
of them adorned with these led lights and tail lighter
headlight assemblies. Those things are unbelievably expensive.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Nobody seems to care about the people who have to
replace these things.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
That's all a praise report. That's funny, Thank you Jesus.
Jesus got me an upgraded automobile.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Yeah, not a new one, but you know, just a
seven year old one.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Wow, it's an interesting praise report. I'm not sure how
to put that out as a praise.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Well, you know, he had a piece of crap that
was twenty ten, and now we got a not a
piece of crap that's twenty eighteen.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Thank you Lord. That the woman driving that plainly should
not have been driving.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Oh yeah, she's apparently she's like eighty five, yes, and
she never saw the stop sign. But I don't know
how fast she could have got that thing cranked up
demolish both cars. And it looked like it looked like
to me because he showed me a picture of the
vehicle that he was driving, it looked like I don't
know how she would have done this, but it almost
(16:38):
looked like she hit like the driver side and then
it I guess maybe she had t boned him, but
it wasn't because the whole left, the whole driver side
of the car seemed destroyed.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
That's the thing is that we're building them now pretty
much on a pan instead of a chassis, and then
we got this thin sheet metal we're using. It's you
can very quick total out the car. Is you going
to try to put that in the body shot and
get it all straight?
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Now?
Speaker 2 (17:06):
That's hours and hours and hours and hours.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Crush it, sorry, halfway crushed a yeah, sell it for
part by the way, I will tell you because I
know I've already distracted us long enough. But tomorrow on
this podcast, remind me about a Michael Jordan insurance story
that I was told over the weekend that blew my mind.
So that's a tease for tomorrow's podcast.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
All right, So tomorrow we're going to have the situation
having to do with do you take the insurance? Do
you take the cash?
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Is that the right thing to do? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (17:37):
I think the police out of it, leave the insurance
company out of it. Just take the cash.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
I mean, I don't know if you could leave the
cops out. I mean, if there's an accident, there's an
accident or you got to call them, But you don't
have to call the insurance company, do you. That's up
to you if you want to find a medical problem.
I guess. Okay. There's an honest conn being put forth
by Jonathan Rush, although he himself has sidestepped the system
(18:05):
I offered.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
He was standing up right at the time, wasn't injured.
It was a low there's an ATM machine nearby, A
low impact.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Was not the high speed.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
I was able to grab an empty a blank semi
blank piece of paper and scribble out a little.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
What do you call it?
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Agreement?
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Yes, this is a binding contract and eye.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Yes, further furthermore, what's the word I'm looking for. It
furthermore protects me basically from any other claims.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Oh yeah, any further claims.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
That's right. You got to scratch that out. You got
to get that out, this totally out. And then you
go and you put the cash out there. And as
soon as he put the cash out, you put the
paper out. You hold onto the cash until they sound
on the paper. Then you let go with the cash.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
That's how the game is played. That's the way you
do it. You don't have to like smear blood on
it and stuff. These are I didn't ask for that. Thankfully,
nobody was bleeding, so we didn't have any blood on
But I've got a fault. I think I need to
go look at my pholder. I think I've got three
of those agreements. Oh my gosh, can't points.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Yeah, they were always bumping into something. And I don't
know if they ever got in the car fixed or not. I
don't care, don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Yeah, oh, which absolutely, I mean I now this was
through the insurance company, but in nineteen Well, Jordan was
born in nineteen ninety three, so this would have been
nineteen ninety two. Because she was pregnant with Jordan. I
was rear ended in a major way on a highway
(19:43):
and it was They didn't total the car, but they
should have. It was a Honda Civic, I think. Anyway,
what did a new Honda Civic cost in like nineteen
ninety two, like fourteen teen, fifteen thousand dollars or something.
They offered me nine thousand dollars for the repairs, the
(20:06):
insurance company did. My plan had been to take the
nine thousand dollars and put it towards at the time,
my dream vehicle, which was a Jeep Wrangler without the
tops and all that stuff. I was going to be
a cool kid on the block throwing around with that thing.
And my friend John Trusdale talked me out of that,
and he said, well, isn't Tana pregnant with Well, I
(20:27):
don't think we had named him yet, but with your son?
And I said yeah. And he said, and isn't her
car kind of a piece of crap? And I said,
well yeah, and he goes, wouldn't the right thing be
to buy her a safe vehicle for your child, for
your child. Yeah, so I bought her a new car
and I drove my piece of crap beat up barely.
(20:50):
Shouldn't even be on the road, Honda, What kind of.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Tragedies we got going on here in your life? You
need to tell? You need up with. This is what
we're here. We help people every day. This is what
