(06:25):
after Labor Day supposed to live theday businesses get the most phone calls per
year, partly because everyone's open againafter the long weekend, and it's when
people start planning for the holidays.It does us mental good to have something
on the calendar to look forward toplanning for the holidays. Customer service has
to answer your call, and theydon't have a choice. But a poll

(06:46):
we just saw last week found wedon't always pick up anymore. Talked about
that last week. Only one infive people still answer calls from unknown numbers
no matter what. Fifty four percentnever do. There's a lot of of
If I'm expecting like a delivery orpackage or appointments. Then you'll pick up

(07:08):
the call where you don't recognize thenumber. Otherwise one more left over stand
from a poll of the top reasonswe don't answer those calls include it could
be a scammer, it's probably atelemarketer. Whoever it is, it'll be
a waste of time, and we'rejust too busy to pick up. Still
don't believe in the If I missyour call and there's no message that I'm

(07:30):
ab we get it to call backstill blows my mind up. People don't
have their voicemail boxes set up.But if you leave a message, then
it's worthy of the callback. Ifnot, you shouldn't be required to call
back. I mean you can ifyou want, but it's it's not an
obligation. Telephone Tuesday, my questionto your today. We can get you

(08:41):
in the Grand Cities. Mom.So we've all got a few pet peeves,
but does the average person think yours'sballad are ridiculous? Someone asked over
fifteen thousand people to weigh in onsome common pet peeves, and this is
what they had to say. Whensomeone puts their shopping card next to the
car return but not in it's eightytwo percent think that's a valid pet peeve

(09:03):
to have. I'm actually a littlesurprised it's that low eighty two percent.
Put your cards away, People's whenyou're watching TV in the audio and video
or even a millisecond off. Eightynine percent say that's a valid pet peeve
makes me think something's not right forme. Those who know me don't answer
that. You want to turn red, excuse me, right on a red

(09:28):
light, but the person in frontof you is waiting to go straight.
Fifty five percent say yes, that'sannoying. I think a lot of times
we as drivers tend to be courteousand go into the left lane if we're
not going to turn right, ifwe're going to take that front space up,
but we just it's too much goingon to always remember to do.
That's because I'm not super annoyed bythat. Are these pet peeves valid?

(09:50):
Are ridiculous. When someone's driving intothe speed limit of the fast lane,
ninety three percent think it's okay toget angry about that one you're saying yourself
gar they're on the cell phone.When someone eat surrounds you but you're not
eating. Just nine percent say youshould be annoyed by that. I guess
I don't think you should, Butif you're really hungry slash angry, maybe

(10:13):
I understand a little bit. Whensomeone puts the toilet paper roll on the
wrong way, forty five percent sayvalid fifty five percent a chill out.
There's not really a wrong way todo that. There's our preferred way.
But do you ever flip it?Do you ever change it? Yeah?
I guess I don't either. Whenthe spinning wheel of death pops up on

(10:35):
your computer while something's loading, fiftyfive percent say valid pet p Forty five
percent think you might just need towork on being more patient. There's those
of us who've got those those nineteennineties computers in our workplaces too. Yeah,
it happens more often than it should. Think of how much time over
the course of a week we wastewith computers being slow. Are these pet

(10:58):
peeves, Well, you're ridiculous.When there's only one non self checkout lane
open to the grocery store in themiddle of the day, eighty percent think
that's a valid complaint. I thinkwe've grown so accustomed to it it's not
a big deal anymore. When twomotorcycles take up two full sized parking spots,
sixty nine percent agree it's annoying.And finally, when someone in front
of you at Starbucks has a highmaintenance order that takes forever, seventy six

(11:22):
percent say it's fair to be annoyedat that person. There should be a
high maintenance line for everywhere we go, whether it's Starbucks, fast food,
border crossings, take the high maintenanceline. Are these pet beeves valued?
Are ridiculous? Nice checklist? Itcan go through together your co workers.
This morning, go to axelnety threedot com the chevity page that my friends

(11:43):
is trending. No time for apetty y'are unbelievable, unbelievably random. My
whole tupper to shut the brain ontoday, then the most new work weeks
after a long weekend, and thenthe storm interrupting our sleep last night.

(12:03):
Let's go. Let's educate bet.She didn't know the US had a lesbian
first lady. Yes, Grover Cleveland'ssister Rose was the first lady for the
first fourteen months of his first termbefore he got married. Rose went on
to be with a woman name EvangelineSimpson, and they're now buried next to
each other. Interesting, betch didn'tknow. An art historian spotted a rare

(12:30):
long lost painting the background of themovie Stewart Little. It turns out the
said designer bought a sheep at anantique store and no one knew it was
worth over two hundred and fifty thousanddollars. Especially recently, it seems like
every week I've got a story aboutsome random painting that someone bought for four
bucks that was worth eight billion dollars. Take art history course, it may

(12:54):
pay off one day. Or justbuy every single painting you ever find at
the artswe Bench didn't know. Onewitness of Lincoln's assassination lived so long he
was able to be interviewed about iton TV. Samuel Seymour was at Ford's
Theater and was interviewed about it innineteen fifty six at age ninety six and
a show called I've Got a Secret. I guess Remember the movie Dallas Buyer's

(13:18):
Club. Good movie. I hadsuch a low budget that the makeup artist,
Robin Matthews only had two hundred andfifty dollars to spend for the entire
movie, and she still won theOscar for Best Makeup in Hair Styling.
That's amazing. Let's stuck music festivals. The Burning Man, Bloody Muddy Mess

(13:41):
was in the news all weekend long, the first one, of course,
being Woodstock. Bench didn't know advancedtickets to Woodstock in nineteen sixty nine,
fifty four years ago, we're soldat record stores for eighteen dollars. Now
that's the equivalent of about one hundredand fifty dollars in today's moneys. And
tickets were supposed to cost twenty fourdollars door, which is now two hundred

(14:01):
dollars. Considering the whole experience,that would have been an incredible value,
but many thousands of people ended upstorming in without paying at all, now,

at a time to change all right. No, that's that's a fair answer.

You're shot to win on the wayat eight thirty about eight forty eight forty

(20:08):
this morning? Do you eat forty? Shall we feel old together? What
do you think when I say theterm Dan rock it? Would you say
the like Alice Cooper, Montley Crew, def Leopard Concert, Bargo last month?
Who comes to mind for you?How about my chemical romance in Lincoln

(20:30):
Park? Give in mind? Theseguys were big. I mean Lincoln Park
got things started in the nineties,but into the two thousands, and even
today they have hits on the rockcharts. Some kid made a video saying
that those bands are indeed Dan Rocknow and so our acts like System of
a Down of Ange seven full threedays Grace, the Deftones, Muse,

(20:52):
Slipknot, Skillet, followed Boy andSome forty one, followed by another band
who's been rocking the charts here forabout two decades now. Now. Interestingly
and possibly ironic, the kid whomade the video was wearing a Metallica shirt.
So did this kid hit the markersat Troy to call these bands dad

(21:15):
rock? But I mean there aredads who are thirty years old who grew
up listening to these rock acts.What's thirty minus to get us to two
thousand and six? That many yearsago? Thirteen fourteen year old kids?
I know, dad rock? Tome, you've got to go past the

(21:36):
year two thousand. So I wantedto transition off this into the Metallica shirt.
Guy here who made this video,would you ever consider taking your pets
your best friend to a concert?Probably not, don't think they liked the

(21:56):
noise and the commotion. But maybe if you don't one, they'll end
up going by themselves. Let meexplain here. A dog actually snuck into
a Metallica concerts in Los Angeles.I don't know how it cleared the metal

(22:19):
detectors. I know that's my firstthought too. Snuck in. Dog named
Storm snuck out of her home nearbySofi Stadium somehow gotten into the stadium.
There's a photo of Storm sitting ina row just launching the show. There
was some concern that someone had broughttheir dog with them into the show,

(22:41):
but the band says that wasn't thecase. In an Instagram post, they
joked, you had a great timelistening to her favorite songs, including Master
of Puppies and the Mailman then nevercomes And in case you were wondering,
no, you definitely shouldn't bring yourfurry friends. But this dog sure didn't
have her day. Storm was safelynodded with her family the next day,

(23:02):
so Fi Stadium and outdoor stadium,so that might make it easier for the
pups to get into the stadium.Opposite's a tracked Is it a thing?
One more thing before we go?Nine each three minutes commercial free and Get
You to Bang is for the iHeartRadioMusic Festival coming right now. Thanks Ellboddy.
Three, Good morning, good morning, Hey, good day home.

(23:23):
I visiting with Gina. Well Gina, damn Gina? Happy telephone Tuesday?
Well I happy telephone? Denn oralive? Famous or not? Who would
you call? And why my mom? You call mom? Yeah? He

(23:44):
died seven years ago and I missedher a lot. I can't believe talk
you out of calling your mom.Call your moms every day with your mom?
Do you want to call my momwill give you her a number.
She's she's got my it's the freetime on her hands. No, I
might take her away from her wine. Now I think I got us both

(24:07):
in trouble. You'll never take mymom away from from her wine. You
don't know her as well as Ithought you might have known her. I
actually thought I was going to getus out of trouble. You just got
us into trouble. Hey, Gina, let me get you into Oh,
I don't know. Maybe you wantto go to Comic Con at the Allus
Center of the Saturday and Sunday.Can get your four tickets to that,

(24:30):
or just send you off to amovie at River Cinema, or the races,
to a couple of fridays to goat River City Speedway. I'd like
to go to the races. Let'sget to the Races's what station is?
Your car's making a lot of leftcircles connection, Thanks ninety three. It's

(24:51):
time for one more thing on Excelninety three. One more time fun more.
What would you say in relation shipas in opposites attract scenario, Well,
you might actually have more in commonthen you think. A new study
found opposites attract might just be amath that were way more likely to end

(25:11):
up with people we have stuff incommon with. They looked at old studies
that analyzed twenty two different traits.Then they did a follow up that looked
at eighty thousand couples and more thanone hundred and thirty trades, everything from
religion and core values to each person'sdrinking habits. Overall, they found most
couples of similar habits and views onmore than eighty percent of stuff and substantially

(25:33):
different views, and just three percent. Things were most likely to have in
common include our political views, religiousviews, education level, how much each
person drinks and smokes, and eventhe number of sexual partners you've had.
Now this part's interesting. They didfind extroverts don't necessarily go for other extroverts,

(25:55):
but they're no more likely to gofor introverts either. It's a coin
flip. Overall, they found thatopposite to tract is definitely overrated quote birds
of a feather are indeed more likelyto flock together. I'm sure somebody most
likely dropped the mic. Study foundopposites to track just a myth, and
birds of a feather are indeed morelikely to flock together, so women and

(26:18):
cats don't hook up like in thistale from nineteen ninety I don't once get
you to Vegas from the iHeart RadioMusic Festival coming up. Keyword get ready
to text it to two hundred twohundred. It's not this been next weekend.
Let's make this happen for you.Sad news going into the long weekend.

(26:41):

a message for all of your fansthat are mourning you? And what was
the first thing you ate when youentered the pearly gates? And what are
you doing for dessert now that you'regone? What's one piece of advice you

(27:22):
have for people on Earth? We'regood lab One last question, Jimmy Buffett,
if you could come back to Earthfor one day, how would you
spend your time? Thank you JimmyBuffett from Heaven Gentlemen, the moment I
finally arrived. Who's a true radiosuperstar that I just found out? I'm
