Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is what's trending, So might surprise a lot of people,
but it's true, Jason Brown, you were so busy this weekend.
I mean many many things going on. Yeah, a lot
of Poloo's, Kaitlyn's Beautiful Life after party, what was Bellows?
Really the venue was Kaylen's apartment or what's left of it.
But you were all over the place, and you, of
(00:23):
course were watching the Olympics.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Yeah, I was there.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
I belind where we're live from this morning.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
We are at a lot defense arena, you know where
they swim a lot.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Of defense arena. Well they're not swelling anymore, I know.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
We just wrapped it up.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Yeah, you know. Yeah, so you look you look tired
on the video, the video, the satellite hookup that we
have between Yeah, you look very tired. My eyes open.
All sounds good though, thanks All right?
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Cool?
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Uh so, yeah, so a lot of stuff happened here.
People were swimming. Bobby Think he won the gold. He
broke the world record for the fifteen hundred freestyle. He
did that freestyling on them. Then Noah Lyiles he's the
world's fastest man. He was running one hundred m one
(01:11):
hundred mm stand for meters. Yeah, that's right, but we
don't measure with that here in America. This is a
Paris thing.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Yeah, so he ran a lot and won a gold
medal for that.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
He's really fast.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
But I think the biggest news of the whole weekend,
or maybe the end of last week.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
But I didn't get to talk about it, mister French
pole vaulter. I was going to ask you this morning
if you were familiar with his work.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
I made myself familiar this weekend in my free alone time.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Tell everybody why what happened to this man? He finished last?
But buddy, but he finished first.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
He is God's favorite. He was doing the thing where
he you take one pole and you jump over another pole,
you know, pole vaulting. Yeah, and his junk got stuck
on the top pole.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Chunk gut in the way. It's huge, the bullet and
it's so aggressive that it actually like the pole got
caught in the junk. And he came in last place
because of it. What is the last place? No metals,
but lots of attention. I'm sure he'll be just fine. Yeah,
he's a new hawk to a girl. Give him an agent,
Get him an agent.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
You should see the merch here in front will be
posing for skim spend no time.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Oh yeah, that's what we need. This is hawk to
a thing in the last, by the way, because I've
seen a lot of stuff with her, and she's cute.
She is cute, and she's got you know, kind of
a little unique personality. But there's not a lot going on,
and so I don't know, like she's not going to
get a talk show or something like. I'll put it
that way. This is not going to last. I don't
think it lasts that long. No, that much longer. Yeah,
(02:53):
I'm super happy, man, you know, I'm really happy for her.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
She saves her money. It's not going to be forever.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
That's what I mean. That's what I'm saying. We're not
gonna wind up doing Real Housewives of Hoktua or something
like it.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
I don't know. Maybe she'll start hosting stuff and.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Look at baby.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
We were like, oh, she's making like millions and millions
of dollars.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Well there is for her, but didn't didn't. I think
I hate to say this, but one of the smartest
things Talk toa could do is that kind of a
kind of content. I think people are sort of expecting
uh hmmm, the mouth to back up the mouth kind
of thing, you know what I mean? If you know
you know that was my kids about the right, That's
what I mean. I think a lot of people want
(03:34):
to see it, but I don't. I think she said
she wouldn't do it, so I don't know. I feel
like that might be the avenue. But anyway, a gold
medal for Haktua, a gold medal for this man who
didn't win a gold medal for his hole votes vaulting.
He didn't even need the other stick, you know, he's
used that one for me. That was the problem that
(03:56):
he had two sticks. Basically he could have just used
the primary method. And anyway, Finn had the gold medal
for real three polls involved. Yeah, it's true. Some insurance
on that thing.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Okay, tonights Women's more women's gymnastics, beam and floor and
also track and fields and our metal counts. So we
have the most gold for like twelve hours. But now
we try to took back over, so we have nineteen.
They have twenty one, but we have the total most medals,
seventy two total medals.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
We're crushing it. One more week to go right, one more.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Week and follow along in the free I heard radio
app for all Things Olympics.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
I heard this. It was a TikTok. So I watched
this thing about one athlete. I think she was a skateboarder.
So they're already done. They've been done, like I think
they started before the opening ceremonies. And so I guess
you have forty eight hours to get out of the
Olympic village once you've competed. So once your stuff's over,
you have to leave, but then you can come back
for the closing ceremonies. So like these people had to
(04:54):
find somewhere to go for two weeks. I think some
of them went home and then they'll fly back go
be part of the closing ceremonies. I think some people
don't even do the closing ceremonies, but I mean jobs,
They got to go back to work. I saw Simone
Biles was really upset about the court not upset, but
she had tweeted about the question or made the statements
that she wants reporters to stop asking Olympians what's next,
(05:19):
and like let them enjoy their moment, you know, because
you work obviously your whole life. However long that is
or years and years to get a gold medal. But
I think it's a valid question because to your point,
like some of these people work at home Depot, I'm
not making fun of that. Like literally, home Depot supports Olympians.
There are a number of companies that you can work
there and then they you know, accommodate your Olympic schedule
and support and financially and otherwise. So literally there are
(05:42):
Olympians that will go back to working at UPS or
Home Deeople or wherever. And so I do think it's
somewhat of a valid question, like because in normal people,
I mean, we know what Lebron James is going to do,
right if he went to gold medal, go back to
being Lebron James. But like you know what is Carl
going to do? The shot put man? I know what
they's do with the job with the Johnson is going
to do.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Now, That's why I didn't like Lebron James being the
flag bear for the United States, because like you're a
you're you're making money, Like give it to someone that's
that spent four years of their time, that works at
like a regular job and.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Then they're paying their own way.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
No sponsors or anything to represent this country and then
you just get this medal.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Yeah, like he's a multiple time Olympian, he's multiple but
like you're you're you're.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Already a paid What are you gonna say? No, it's
not him.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Yeah, he was voted in like the athletes voted in,
Man and plus no one on you know, quote unquote
dream team, No one on the uh on that right,
men's basketball team. They're not the dream team, but you
know what I mean, the evolution of UH. No one's
ever been able to do that before. So anyway, Yeah, because.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
They only get like I think it's like thirty thousand
dollars if you win a Golden medal, yes.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Yeah, and I think Japan compared to like one thousand rice.
The country just chimes in on it. Yeah, yeah, just
come over the top. Yeah, here you go.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Yeah, different countries paid different amounts. There's some countries that
only give you nothing for winning a man that only.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Give you nothing. Yeah, you know, you know when I
only get nothing, Jason? Is that all for today? I'm
going to miss there. We got a whole week left
to go. Are you're doing a really good job? Thank
you so much. Someone texted the TikTok comments on the
pole voltare did not disappoint not Sometimes the Internet wins.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Some comments are better than the actual vision.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
I run to the comments same.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
I'm in there just a lot of times.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Like sometimes I read the comments of like controversial stories
or big stories and I'm be like, man, these people
are clever. But other times I'm like, man, these people
are just mean. Like sometimes people write us are just mean, Yeah,
but then sometimes they're clever too. So a big area
of Florida is going to see a lot of rain
today from Debbie. That now, this is already a hurricane.
(07:46):
It is a hurricane. Hurricane Debbie moves inland, and it's
getting some attention from officials that governors are both Florida
and South Carolina have declared states of emergency in preparation
for the storm. Cedar Key, Florida, is seeing major flooding
ahead of and fall in Tampa is also seeing storm surge.
The coasts of Georgia and South Carolina are expected to
see heavy flooding as well. According to the National Hurricane Center,
(08:07):
Debbie is expected to drop between six and twelve inches
of rain, and parts of central and northern Florida and
southeastern North Carolina was up to eighteen inches possible. Sorry
if you were flying Frontier over the weekend in Houston.
But the pilot was taken into custody before they were
able to take off. So these guys are also, they're
ready to go, and they come and get the captain
(08:28):
and say, nope, not so fast. This dude, a forty
five year old man named Seymour, was removed from the
flight before takeoff due to an outstanding warrant for assault
family violence. So he was taken into custody without incident
before passengers began boarding. Due to the absence of an
immediate replacement crew member, they had to cancel the flight.
Passengers affected by the cancelation were given several options, including
(08:50):
a refund flight credit or a reaccommodation and one hundred
dollars flight voucher an overnight hotel as well. But yeah,
they locked him up. We'll let him out. Another guy,
the guy that he can't fly it. Yeah, not by himself.
You have two people, got it. I mean theoretically, yes,
he could, but you gotta have two people. Miss Michigan
has been crowned Miss USA twenty twenty four. Alma Cooper
(09:11):
was announced the winners. She beat out Miss Kentucky and
Miss Oklahoma. If you were paying attention to any of that,
which I honestly didn't even know what happened. A couple
in the US shared a video on TikTok of them
returning a five year old mattress to Costco and this
has gone viral and it's trending today because Costco will
take back anything. Their return policy is basically, will take
(09:32):
back anything. The couple claimed the mattress was uncomfortable after
five years and wanted to test their return policy for
items that don't have receipts anymore. After going into the store,
the couple said, even without a receipt, an employee looked
up the purchase allowed them to return the mattress. They
were given a gift card worth four hundred and ninety
nine dollars, which was the original price of the mattress.
(09:52):
They used the gift card to upgrade to a King mattress.
Good for that, boy. I don't know if I like
the fact this has gone viral because the people are
just gonna take advantage of it. Now.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
You pay a membership feed, that's part of that's part
of the membership. Well I can, I've done it something
that was three years old.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Why would take a step back? It's three year it
didn't it didn't function correctly, and I returned it. But
for three years. I'll just after three years. I mean
a return policy. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
I pay I pay a premium membership to be at
Costco and that's one of the membership benefits.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
So they gave you a new one or you know,
I just got the refund for it. They gave you
money back.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Yeah, they give you like the gift card or whatever,
a store credit to Costco.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
But it's like you see it all the time.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
For the Super Bowl, people go to Costco by the
biggest TV possible.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
A week later they just return it. Hikes that mess.
I'd be mad. I mean, I like this TV. I
don't take it back. And speaking of home Depot, I
know somebody who worked works still at home Depot and
was telling me that someone brought back a Low's brand
because home Depot has a similar return policy. They brought
back a Low's branded item. It said Lows on it,
and they were like, sir, with all due respect, I
(10:59):
don't think you got this here. And the guy's like, nope,
I bought it right here, right where we're standing. It's like,
well it says lows on it though, and that's our competitor.
We would not sell anything here that says that. He's like,
I don't know, I bought it right here. You're a mistake.
They took it back. What it's smart's it is smart business? Well,
it is smart unless they're being taken advantage of, like
for people like you, But it is smart business because
(11:21):
you would do anything wrong.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
I mean I had a I had as it was
a a lock for a door, but like one of
those electronic ones right the thing. I was replacing the
batteries in this thing every like three months and it
should have been within six to a year. So it's
like I'm wasting money on these batteries. So I returned
it and got my money back.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
I don't know, are so expensive After all months, I
figured I own this thing, and I mean, I don't know.
I guess it depends on how much it costs and
how lazy I'm being, which is probably pretty lazy. I
tend to be awfully lazy. So it's kind of like, yeah, I'll.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Give them, do you feel like they judge you when
you do that.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
I think so, Yeah, because you don't have the receipt,
then they got to like look up your whole history,
because we know what this guy's Everything's like, I'm not
cheating the system. The product didn't work, and I returned it.
That is the return policy.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
And a fast food restaurant called bird Box in New
York has shared a new sandwich that's called Clawed. The
claw you're not getting me for this one. And you
guys know, I'm a fast food enthusiast. The only reason
I go to the gym is so I could occasionally
dabble in the old fast food. Yesterday it was spicy
chicken nuggets from Wendy's. Kind of love those things. Every
(12:32):
now and again, I wake up and I just I
choose violence, and that's what it was. I should it's
a random thing to wake up and crave, but I did,
and I got in the morning. Yep. Well, just in general,
I mean, I don't know, I don't know that those
nuggets get enough appreciation. I don't know Wendy's chicken nuggets
get nearly enough of their due. Yeah, and I was
as was eating them yesterday they're so delicious, And I
was like, they took these things away for a while
(12:53):
and that shocked me. I'm like, how could they have?
Now they're back. Yes, rufe, did you get the saucy
did you get did the saucy nugs? I have sauce,
I get this. No, I got the regular buffalo or
ghost pepper, didn't need it. Just got the og dry
rub whatever the hell's on it. They're delicious. I don't know.
But this place is called a bird Box. The sandwich
(13:13):
features a thigh and drum cutlet on a potato bun
with pickles and coalslaw and their sauce. However, the chicken
foot it's still attached to it. Yeah, so it's nineteen bucks.
It's sold out instantly. But basically it's the sandwich the
way I just described, but it has an actual chicken,
like a real life chicken foot still attached to the
thigh or the whatever it is. Just stick it out
(13:35):
the side of the sandwich. Oh yeah, that sounds delicious.
Get out of here. It looks disgusting foot, but they
left the foot on. Yeah, but you you don't have
to eat I mean you could eat that, but you
can eat a lot of things. I mean, I'm going
to it looks gross, but anyway, it's sold out. Nineteen bucks.
You can go get one bird box in New York.

are clever. But other times I'm like, man, these people
are just mean. Like sometimes people write us are just mean, Yeah,
but then sometimes they're clever too. So a big area
of Florida is going to see a lot of rain
today from Debbie. That now, this is already a hurricane.
(07:46):
It is a hurricane. Hurricane Debbie moves inland, and it's
getting some attention from officials that governors are both Florida
and South Carolina have declared states of emergency in preparation
for the storm. Cedar Key, Florida, is seeing major flooding
ahead of and fall in Tampa is also seeing storm surge.
The coasts of Georgia and South Carolina are expected to
see heavy flooding as well. According to the National Hurricane Center,
(08:07):
Debbie is expected to drop between six and twelve inches
of rain, and parts of central and northern Florida and
southeastern North Carolina was up to eighteen inches possible. Sorry
if you were flying Frontier over the weekend in Houston.
But the pilot was taken into custody before they were
able to take off. So these guys are also, they're
ready to go, and they come and get the captain
(08:28):
and say, nope, not so fast. This dude, a forty
five year old man named Seymour, was removed from the
flight before takeoff due to an outstanding warrant for assault
family violence. So he was taken into custody without incident
before passengers began boarding. Due to the absence of an
immediate replacement crew member, they had to cancel the flight.
Passengers affected by the cancelation were given several options, including
(08:50):
a refund flight credit or a reaccommodation and one hundred
dollars flight voucher an overnight hotel as well. But yeah,
they locked him up. We'll let him out. Another guy,
the guy that he can't fly it. Yeah, not by himself.
You have two people, got it. I mean theoretically, yes,
he could, but you gotta have two people. Miss Michigan
has been crowned Miss USA twenty twenty four. Alma Cooper
(09:11):
was announced the winners. She beat out Miss Kentucky and
Miss Oklahoma. If you were paying attention to any of that,
which I honestly didn't even know what happened. A couple
in the US shared a video on TikTok of them
returning a five year old mattress to Costco and this
has gone viral and it's trending today because Costco will
take back anything. Their return policy is basically, will take
(09:32):
back anything. The couple claimed the mattress was uncomfortable after
five years and wanted to test their return policy for
items that don't have receipts anymore. After going into the store,
the couple said, even without a receipt, an employee looked
up the purchase allowed them to return the mattress. They
were given a gift card worth four hundred and ninety
nine dollars, which was the original price of the mattress.
(09:52):
They used the gift card to upgrade to a King mattress.
Good for that, boy. I don't know if I like
the fact this has gone viral because the people are
just gonna take advantage of it. Now.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
You pay a membership feed, that's part of that's part
of the membership. Well I can, I've done it something
that was three years old.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Why would take a step back? It's three year it
didn't it didn't function correctly, and I returned it. But
for three years. I'll just after three years. I mean
a return policy. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
I pay I pay a premium membership to be at
Costco and that's one of the membership benefits.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
So they gave you a new one or you know,
I just got the refund for it. They gave you
money back.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Yeah, they give you like the gift card or whatever,
a store credit to Costco.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
But it's like you see it all the time.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
For the Super Bowl, people go to Costco by the
biggest TV possible.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
A week later they just return it. Hikes that mess.
I'd be mad. I mean, I like this TV. I
don't take it back. And speaking of home Depot, I
know somebody who worked works still at home Depot and
was telling me that someone brought back a Low's brand
because home Depot has a similar return policy. They brought
back a Low's branded item. It said Lows on it,
and they were like, sir, with all due respect, I
(10:59):
don't think you got this here. And the guy's like, nope,
I bought it right here, right where we're standing. It's like,
well it says lows on it though, and that's our competitor.
We would not sell anything here that says that. He's like,
I don't know, I bought it right here. You're a mistake.
They took it back. What it's smart's it is smart business? Well,
it is smart unless they're being taken advantage of, like
for people like you, But it is smart business because
(11:21):
you would do anything wrong.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
I mean I had a I had as it was
a a lock for a door, but like one of
those electronic ones right the thing. I was replacing the
batteries in this thing every like three months and it
should have been within six to a year. So it's
like I'm wasting money on these batteries. So I returned
it and got my money back.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
I don't know, are so expensive After all months, I
figured I own this thing, and I mean, I don't know.
I guess it depends on how much it costs and
how lazy I'm being, which is probably pretty lazy. I
tend to be awfully lazy. So it's kind of like, yeah, I'll.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Give them, do you feel like they judge you when
you do that.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
I think so, Yeah, because you don't have the receipt,
then they got to like look up your whole history,
because we know what this guy's Everything's like, I'm not
cheating the system. The product didn't work, and I returned it.
That is the return policy.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
And a fast food restaurant called bird Box in New
York has shared a new sandwich that's called Clawed. The
claw you're not getting me for this one. And you
guys know, I'm a fast food enthusiast. The only reason
I go to the gym is so I could occasionally
dabble in the old fast food. Yesterday it was spicy
chicken nuggets from Wendy's. Kind of love those things. Every
(12:32):
now and again, I wake up and I just I
choose violence, and that's what it was. I should it's
a random thing to wake up and crave, but I did,
and I got in the morning. Yep. Well, just in general,
I mean, I don't know, I don't know that those
nuggets get enough appreciation. I don't know Wendy's chicken nuggets
get nearly enough of their due. Yeah, and I was
as was eating them yesterday they're so delicious, And I
was like, they took these things away for a while
(12:53):
and that shocked me. I'm like, how could they have?
Now they're back. Yes, rufe, did you get the saucy
did you get did the saucy nugs? I have sauce,
I get this. No, I got the regular buffalo or
ghost pepper, didn't need it. Just got the og dry
rub whatever the hell's on it. They're delicious. I don't know.
But this place is called a bird Box. The sandwich
(13:13):
features a thigh and drum cutlet on a potato bun
with pickles and coalslaw and their sauce. However, the chicken
foot it's still attached to it. Yeah, so it's nineteen bucks.
It's sold out instantly. But basically it's the sandwich the
way I just described, but it has an actual chicken,
like a real life chicken foot still attached to the
thigh or the whatever it is. Just stick it out
(13:35):
the side of the sandwich. Oh yeah, that sounds delicious.
Get out of here. It looks disgusting foot, but they
left the foot on. Yeah, but you you don't have
to eat I mean you could eat that, but you
can eat a lot of things. I mean, I'm going
to it looks gross, but anyway, it's sold out. Nineteen bucks.
You can go get one bird box in New York.
