Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's the press show. This is what's trending. We're talking
about this off the ordering the song.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
I should preface my opinion is so strong because unfortunately,
I've seen what people do, and I know some of
you have seen this too, you mentioned it. I've seen
what people do when people die, and it's disgusting, and
so I think part of this is just more of
a matter of just organization, Like you know what you
gave it, you can have it back in my untimely death,
and that's the end of it.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
Because it's disgusting.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
I mean I had one relative die and relatives from
the other side of the family literally we're taking his underwear.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
I mean like anything they could get their hands on,
the refrigerator from the house, the refrigerator that you sell
the house with a refrigerator. No, somebody came in and
wheeled out the refrigerator. The day the man passed away,
they were taking his rose bushes. Yeah, and I'm like,
what are you guys doing, like it's a free for all.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
Yeah yeah, No.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
I was just going to say, truly, like the kindest
thing that you can do for your family is have
a will, Like that's divided up in the most detailed
ways so that like when you do pass, everything is
already taken care of, because you don't want your relatives
to have riffs or never speak to each other again
over something that could just be decided you know beforehand.

(01:12):
It's the most love you can show your family. I
think true.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
But we had this fight over and by the way,
I give my sister a hard time, but like, if
she wants something, she can have it, obviously, It's just
it doesn't become like new new bag collection, new fall collection,
you know what I mean. But we had this argument
over we have an heirloom my mom was heirloom. My
mom's engagement ring was designed by my dad. My dad

(01:37):
is a plastic engineer. He's a mechanical engineer. He basically
made it by hand and designed the whole thing in
CAD and whatever. And it's not it's very nineties in style.
And my sister has said, I'm just going to take
the diamond out and make something else out of it,
and like, to me, that's crazy, Like you don't get
to do that because my dad made that, Like you

(01:58):
don't get to just no, I'm sorry. And then the argument,
it's an argument it's like, well, then what I'm never
supposed to wear because it's not my style.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
I'm like, but that's not about you.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
Like it's like I have stuff of my grandfather's it's
not my style, but I wear it because it was
his style.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
But I don't know.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
This is the weird stuff that happens when people go
and it's like, why are we changing the course of
history here? Like I don't know. Yeah, that stuff bothers me.
If it's if it has sentimental value, I don't mess
with it. Then you got to leave it. Yeah, you know,
And I think it's just cleaner. If it's a sentimental value,
then it goes back to the original person. And if
that person then says, you know what, I defer I
really want so and so to have it, or I

(02:35):
don't care what happens to it, well that's fine. But
I think that's, to your point, the nicest way to
do stuff like this, because otherwise stuff gets literally stolen.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
And I've seen it.

Speaker 4 (02:47):
Like what if you get a wife and then your
wife is all of a sudden wearing your mom's bags.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
If I'm Amanda, oh oh you know, yeah, I know
that's where it gets tricky. You know that I would
agree with that.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
No, I would agree with that would go for like
some of my dad stuff, Like does my brother in
law get some of my dad's stuff? Like I don't
think so, but my sister might because well he knew
my dad too, you know, and my dad meant a
lot to him. I don't really want to have to
have that convers I don't really know what happens. But again,
this is this is another reason why if it's already
established what the rules are, what the expectation of the

(03:20):
person is, then that's what happens this way. Fights like
that don't happen, like oh that gold watch, so and
so should have that?

Speaker 1 (03:27):
Like who is that? I don't know that person? You
know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (03:30):
You never answered this, But did you guys ever ask
your parents what if they prefer to keep the ring
the same, the engagement ring the same.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
I think my dad has a I think they both
have an opinion about it. I think they think it
be just exactly the same.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
Yeah, that's what it is.

Speaker 5 (03:44):
Ye Did you ever ask your dad if he like
because he made that, he designed it, but doesn't wear
it anymore, right like she does.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
Sometimes it's just it's just a lot, right. Well, I
have to say time it was quite the flesh big one.

Speaker 5 (04:00):
I don't know if you ever was like like upset
that your mom doesn't wear like you know normally.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
No, but I do think it's funny.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
I don't know if Jess is like this or you guys,
but like I can't look at polling his hand right now,
but no, you got to. I have a lot of
friends who spent a lot of money on engagement rings,
and then the trend has become or did become, just
to wear the wedding band, and it's like, why did.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
I spend so much money on the other thing?

Speaker 2 (04:19):
And you don't wear and a lot of people willed
them together, but then some people they don't wear the
big one anymore?

Speaker 1 (04:23):
What's scary to wear big whit?

Speaker 2 (04:25):
I understand that, yes, I agree with you, but it's like,
well then why don't we skip this?

Speaker 1 (04:29):
Why don't we skip a step and.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
I'll just get you a baller band and we're so good, right,
we're like.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
So dope with this?

Speaker 2 (04:35):
No, no, or the other one was my friend my
friend's got in a fight about this a couple of
years ago where he when he proposed to his wife.
He didn't have very much, and so he did the
best he could. It was felt very nice, and then
she really wanted something, you know, twenty years later, ten
years later, she really wants something bigger, really wanted something bigger.

(04:55):
And his argument was, but I didn't propose to you
with something, you know what I mean, like, I'll get it.
And he wound up getting it because obviously, well she
told him he had to. But I also I understood
his point, like, you're trading in something that I actually
saved to propose to you with the actual ring that
I got on one knee for something that means absolutely
nothing to any of us because it's bigger.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
And he lost. But but I understood his sense.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
He's a sentimental guy and I am too, And I
think it's I I said to her, I'm like, but
this this new ring you're buying, that this gigantic rock
that everyone's gonna go ooh ee wow. You guys are
so rich. It doesn't mean anything. It just means that
you're rich. It doesn't mean it has nothing to do
with anything. That's what she wanted.

Speaker 4 (05:38):
She needs to be proud of whatever she's wearing. She
has to wear it. I don't have time to know.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
And then he's got like a my husband has a Yah,
that's what I'm saying. It's rubber. Yeah, yeah, the one
that got in the gold one not wearing it. No,
it's locked away. It's for work purposes.

Speaker 4 (06:00):
But you know he's probably with this twenty four dollars.

Speaker 3 (06:02):
And my friend's husband they just got married, and it
was her grandpa's ring that he wears and he lost
and they're going through.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
It right now.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
Obviously can't tell the family, but it may be in
the water somewhere. Oh no, they were about to go
snorkily and look for it. But yeah, imagine how bad
you feel. And it was not his grandpa's it was
her grandpa's rough one.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
Yeah, yeah, anyway, Yeah, it just does come from a
deeply Maybe it sounds a certain kind of way, but
it comes from a deeply personal place.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
Plus about what my mom wants. So that's what she's getting.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
Yeah, Well, she wants me to keep behind her nice
crap because she doesn't want me to think it's an
automatic pass on to somebody else. Yes, so she's like, yeah,
you keep buying me nice stuff. It all comes back
to you. She think you should yeah, who knows? And
then hey, you guys should be advocating for this, because again,
God forbid, if we're still doing this in a million years,
when all that stuff happens, I may be flushed with handbags. Yeah,

(06:56):
and giving him out to people who my mom liked.
Who knows, and all of a sudden, you'll be like,
what a great idea for everything to come back to
you for some reason, there's a female trend of men
carrying women's bags and ruvie. All of a sudden, it's
gonna be like, well, what a what a fantastic idea
that was?

Speaker 1 (07:13):
E what executive? If you were to give if you
if you're if.

Speaker 5 (07:17):
You were to get those bags back, and you would
give one a Kiki, and Kiki's like, damn, I could
get fifteen grand for the time she sells it.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
You're gonna be mad. I think that would be super rude. Yeah,
never do that. I think I'd be super rude. Never
do Yeah, I'd be mad.

Speaker 4 (07:28):
I'm the executive of the that's eve, Yes, executive, I'll
fast out everything.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
I am sorry.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
You guys can say whatever you want, and you all
can text me with your with your with your idealistic
then whatever. The bottom line is a lot of gifts
are given with closet, deep down expectations, like for example,
if I give you a bag, I don't expect you
to then go pawn it like I don't.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
And if you're telling.

Speaker 2 (07:55):
Me that you do, well, but she has a right
to she has a right to do a lot of things.
But that would be so super rude. You know, you
have a right to return it and get something you
like better. But if you're simply taking what I gave
you because I thought you'd like it and exchanging it
for cash, then like that doesn't actual feat the purpose
of the gift. Do you have a right to do it? Absolutely?

(08:16):
Is that a nice thing to do?

Speaker 1 (08:18):
No? No, no, right girl, I don't.

Speaker 3 (08:24):
Know, man, I would be homeless with handbags on the
street that I've got certain things.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
I probably have four or five items that I've been
given in my life that I would if it came
down to zero, I would still have these things.

Speaker 3 (08:37):
Right, I always have a nice bag with no money
inside because she gave them to me.

Speaker 1 (08:41):
There you go. I don't know, It's just it's just
I don't know sentimentality.

Speaker 3 (08:45):
I guess my bags on the street.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
You can unbelievable. Do we believe in the Farmer's Almond accurate?
We do?

Speaker 1 (08:52):
I love it. I have a magazine.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
Oh, they're predicting a wet and windy winter for twenty
four and twenty time when that movie and windy? Yeah,
when I like Wendy. I'm not really a fan of
the forecast, which covered sixteen months of predicted weather, says
the US will likely have a wet winter whirlwind. What
is it with all the hard words to say this

(09:14):
morning with rapid fire storms bringing rain and snow. But
I believe they've been saying for the last couple of
years and they were going to have these nasty winters
and then they haven't. I'm knocking on wood. They haven't
necessarily come to fruition. But yeah, so we're expecting wet,
windy and wild, wet, windy, wild winter. That part says, yeah,
says those crazy ass people. The Farmer's Almanac Man a

(09:36):
sixty year old man who attempted to swim eighty miles
across Lake Michigan. He had to stop after realizing he'd
been swimming in circles.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
The man said that he was well ahead of schedule
on his second day of swimming, and was hoping to
make the trek his sixty hours instead of the projected
seventy two. He began having problems though, when the bat
the reason his GPS started dying and he I didn't
have any to replace, so I guess his bag of
battery was gone. So he literally wound up swimming in
circles and came about forty seven miles away from his destination.

(10:08):
He made the decision to stop the journey after swimming
over one hundred miles, but didn't rule out attempting to
swim again in the future. I'm confused though, because a
lot of times when they do these like long swims,
there's like somebody in a boat next to you. Now,
I don't know if part of it is they can't
help you, but like how many times were going to
go in a circle before?

Speaker 1 (10:24):
I'm like, bro, it's the other way, right, it's the
other way.

Speaker 3 (10:30):
I always think about that on reality shows, like when
someone's about to make a really big mistake or like
hurt themselves and the camera people have to just like
watch it happen.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
That would be way too hard for me to do.
You know what I mean. Or if someone's like cheating,
I'd be like, don't do it. You're drunk, you know,
like an amazing race or whatever.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
If you're the camera guy and you're like, oh no,
not that country, don't go there?

Speaker 1 (10:48):
All right, it's all right, why are we going there?

Speaker 2 (10:50):
That's what I do. Yeah, pumpkin spice. The trend is
dying off as Americans say that they prefer alternate fall flavors,
So we're over it.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
I don't think we're over it though, thanks.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
I have a feeling that everyone will be getting pumpkin
spice anyway. But cinnamon, they say, is the new flavor.
But isn't that what pumpkin spice is. Isn't it like
it's a combination of things. There's no pumpkin involved. Oh yeah,
so salted caramel candy apple close behind pumpkin spice is
fourth and in fifth place and time between maple and s'mores.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
Everyone's favorite flavor caramel, man, M.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
I mean that's for that's for you guys that go
in and order like like Kiki, who orders the fluorescent
color anything it's made of like sugar and a drop
of water and alcohol and a cherry and then there's
other people like I gotten the guy that goes and
gets black coffee and walks out like, I guess I'm
no fun I'm saying, I guess I'm the same guy

(11:48):
who takes gifts backs that I gifts back that I
By the way, none of you are getting valuable gifts
now because I see it, because I see what you're gonna.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
Do with them. You should because you'll get it back.
At the end, you said I wouldn't, So I see
all this. You're seeing the brilliance of the idea.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
It's starting to hit you, like, wait a minute.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
Yeah, you want that baby orn back? So you got
my daughter the baby. Well, I don't know if I
ever have a kid, it could come in handy. You
don't even need a kid to get it right back.
I don't want it back now, but thank you for asking.
I don't.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
Yeah, I've always wanted to walk around with a baby
be arm with nothing in it, But in this exemple.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
I win your person. Yeah, well I'll have a lot
of them to carry it around. So, yeah, you're burkin.
That's a good point. That's a good point. I got you.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
Yeah, I don't think I want every gift that's the
ones that we're expensive. Get ready for Barbie. I mean,
let's less to be honest, that's exactly what it is.
If I spent a ton of money on something, why
am I watching somebody else carry it away? That is
that is absolutely what it's about. Barbie versus or Barbie
ex Stanley. I don't know how you say it. Barbie
Stanley collaboration is coming. So this is gonna be the

(12:54):
thing that you're gonna have to have at the office
or at school that you're gonna wind up spending too
much on for Christmas. Notice when this is coming out
middle of August, so there'll be a mad rush and
then it will be the thing that everybody wants for Christmas.
Then it will be like seven thousand dollars on eBay.
The Barbie Stanley Collection will one of the sixty fifth
anniversary of the doll eight quenchers, with some representing Barbie decades.

(13:14):
One of the cups tips a hat to Ken. These
cups are between fifty and sixty bucks and they go
on sale on September sixteenth, if you're interested. I guess
different cities though have different drop dates anyway. And finally,
a food story for you guys. Cocoa another one. Coca
Cola and Oreo have worked together to release new products

(13:35):
that will be available starting on September ninth. They include
the Oreo Coca Cola Sandwich cookie.

Speaker 1 (13:40):
Okay, I would probably eat that.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
Yeah, it's got Coca Cola syrup somehow in the chocolate
with a red colored, golden embossed Coca Cola design stuff
with the smooth white colored cream and then Coca Cola
Oreo zero sugar. Now, how is that possible? How do
we how do we have a drink that is Coca
Cola and Oreo but also no sugar? Is not an oxymoron?

(14:09):
It is? Is that a magic trick? Like? I don't
understand it anyway, that's the thing. So I don't know
what that's made out of, but sounds amazing. It's National
Creamsickle Day and National Navajo Code Talkers Day, honestly contributions
to the Native Americans who brought the unique abilities to
World War to the World War two effort. So the
Entertainment Report will do it next day in two minutes.

(14:30):
French show you're not working hard
