Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's the Fresh show. This is what's trending. A bunch
of texts about work. I'm a nurse. What's a break?
I believe it? I believe it. Let me see here,
someone of my job takes naps on the toilet when
he doesn't have any work to do. Damn. Like again,
I'm not trying to hang out in there though, even
if I'm not working. It's like I I think I'd
(00:22):
rather work. I work for a utility company, and when
we go to people's houses, we take our sweet times,
so an hour job becomes two hours. But my question
is do you are you charging somebody for two hour?
I guess you're charging the utility company for two hours,
But like, am I paying for two hours as a customer?
I hope not? Probably not. I know people that work
(00:44):
in certain government jobs where it's like they go on
a call or something, it's like this, this is gonna
take a while, you know, Like I'm out here, so
we're gonna walk around for a while. We're gonna look
at everything like we're really gonna maybe there's nothing going
on here, but I got to justify this visit. So
we're gonn to take a little walk walk you walking around?
Can you pull all the permits? Let's take a look
at that too. And it's so annoying for you know,
(01:06):
the people who own the business. But it's also like this,
I guess this is how you're evaluated if you're effective.
Is how much time it takes? You know, how long
you're out doing what? And maybe you don't want to
mess with people. But it's like, well, I don't have
that much to do, so I'm getting paid for it.
Because that's the way the model works is I got
to work eight hours a day, so I gotta come
up with eight hours of stuff to do every single day.
(01:27):
I work for Chase. If you finished early, you have
to stay until clockout time or leave and use PTO
for the rest. See that's a bad deal. Yeah, you know,
if if you get all your stuff done and you're
really efficient, then you should Shouldn't you be rewarded for that?
I guess Now I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
I don't I don't know Chase like that, but I
don't know what job you're leaving early, like if you
finish your work, Like if you're a teller, aren't you
there for the whole thing?
Speaker 1 (01:54):
You have your shit? Yeah, I gave all the money away.
I'm out of money. I don't have any money. I
talk to all the people. I talked to everybody. There's
no one left in that story. So I left security.
I'm the security guard, Chase. I get done early. I'm
out of here, right what? Yeah, my drawers out of money?
What do you want me to do? Something? You work
till well, then you got Jason who's working like twenty
(02:19):
seven hours a day. I mean, I feel like the
guy's never not working somehow. Yeah, but wouldn't you say
in some ways that's my choice, Like you could probably
put it down at some point, but you just that
you you just don't want to.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Yeah, I could, but like the problem with me is
like if I'm like, it's like I don't know'slock at
night and I'm like, oh, like, I just do this
because if I think about it, then tomorrow then I
have to do it on top of everything else I
have to do, and it all just like stockpiles. Right
then I'll just like rolls downhill to the next day.
So I'm like, I'm just going to get this done.
But then, yeah, it's not good because then I'm working
(02:49):
till nine pm.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
That's not good. That's how I am with email, Like
in the little bubbles, like it's just I just got
to make them go away, like because that means there's
something to do. I mean, there's something left over to do.
And if I don't do it because I don't like
the bubbles, then I either do it or make the
bubble go away and don't do it. You see what
I'm saying. So like it, I may as well just
respond to the email because otherwise if I if I
make the bubble go away, then I'll never remember. Oh so,
(03:13):
so the email is the biggest gimmick. Email is the
biggest trap out there because you know, remember like in
the early two thousands, maybe some of you don't, but
like before email was on every phone all the time.
It was like kind of a special thing if you
had a BlackBerry and you had email or whatever. But
like if somebody emailed you, they you had to be
(03:34):
near a computer to email to respond, and everybody knew that.
So like there was a very good chance that if
I wrote you an email, I wasn't going to get
a reply until tomorrow because maybe you weren't near a computer,
maybe you were traveling, maybe you were on the road.
Maybe you were, you know, living your life or whatever.
But now I know you got it, Like I know
if I send you and I didn't realize there are
rules around here, like no emails after five, which is
total bs. But I mean it's like, I know you
(03:57):
got the emails. So now I'm now I'm like, why
didn't you respond to it? Right? Come annoy it? Well
what's that business hours? Well I know, but you got it,
so it's in your hand, so right back.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
I know.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
It's about delayed delivery for me, And I feel so
bad because like someone that I work with very close,
labor day was off yesterday, so like I delayed deliver
stuff to him at eight am today, so he's back
right today, he's back. So I just know his inbox
at eight am is gonna be like Jason, it's all
going to hit it.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Hasn't her inbox right right? Yes?
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Or there in box?
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Yes? I see, I see, Yeah, I don't know. I
just I send the email. I just don't expect a
response because if I don't, I don't do all that
delayed delivery stuff Like I'll just hit send and if
it's after five o'clock, I don't necessarily expect you to respond.
But what I've realized is some people, if it's after
five o'clock, they just don't think they have to respond
at all. No, I've written emails to certain people that
(04:52):
work for our company that if well that actually I've
written a number of emails to people during business hours.
They just don't think they have to respond. But you know,
it's okay. It's almost like I may think it's a
therapy session or something like. No, this was a dialogue,
this was a two way thing. There was an answer
required there, But anyway, it's okay. The thing is, if
you answer my question, I make up the answer and
then I just do what I want. So maybe maybe
these people just know that why are you asking the question?
(05:14):
Like you're asking me a question, but you're gonna do
what you want anyway, So why am I going to respond?
Maybe that's what it is. I'm not sure. Guys, Entertainment Tonight,
Entertainment Tonight the VP debate. Who is going to be
glued to their TV watching JD Van's take on Tim Walls.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
Everybody, Yes, yeah, I want to watch I actually want
to watch this one. Yeah, I already heard of some
of the other ones.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
You know, yeah, heard of some of the other ones.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Yeah, Like I mean, I Trump has already been president,
So I was like, I know what I'm going to
get with that, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Yeah, this is the one that I want us to
I'm curious. Maybe you should watch for Kamala then for sure,
just see what you're gonna get from her. I did.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
I'm just saying I'm more interested in this one because
I don't know much about them. I just want to
see these two, like square up a little. Kamala is
in office, Trump was in office for these two. They're
new to me.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Yeah, you know, I don't know her especially. Oh, I
can't wait. There was also a Verizon outage yesterday and
my Pelle was on SOS all day and then to
the point where I was checking to see if I
paid my bill. I was like, what the hell's going on?
It's just like an insufficient fund situation, Like what's going on?
But turned out it was just some kind of an
(06:19):
outage that was connected to the hurricane, which, by the way, unfortunately,
the death toll from Hurricane Helene is up to at
least one hundred and thirty people across six states in
North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, and Virginia. Six
hundred people still accounted unaccounted for rather in Asheville, North Carolina,
as the city suffers from washed out roads and bridges,
(06:40):
sell service outages in Black House. Extensive damage to roads
and infrastructure has isolated many remote communities and prevents a
crew from breaching residents with vital supplies. Some sad news
this morning as well. Pete Rose and to Kemba Matemba
legends in their own right. Pete Rose, of course, for
baseball rear hits leader who was blocked from the Hall
(07:02):
of Fame for gambling on the game has died.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Now.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Granted, you can gamble on all these games in the
Major League Baseball and all these other leagues make money
on that, but I guess as a player, you're not
supposed to do it. Nonetheless, he was eighty three years old.
A lot of people think he should have been in
the Hall of Fame, and maybe now he will be,
but he won't.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
See it, which is which would be so sad. That
they'll let him in posthumously, which is going to be
so sad. Nice word Rufio posthumously but well done, Thank you. Thanks,
that was really good happen to ron Santo. Ron Santo
got in posthumously, which was sad as well.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
You're doubling down on that word, Like I mean, I
don't know, a little bit hard to say. It is
a little bit hard to say. It's hard for me
to say. And I think I don't think I would
dare say it three times in a row because I'm
pretty sure by the third time it would be b B,

the same thing.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Yeah. A guy has gone viral after bidding on a
autographed tailor Swift guitar. And then, by the way, I
should I should warn you that this this, uh, this
story has traumatic images for some people in the room.
You were discretion as advice. Okay, there were a couple
of people in the room who need to be you know,
(09:58):
sheltered from this story. But in that Kaylin Jason, take
your headphones off, you know, and counted thirty. Okay, everything's
gonna be okay. But a guy's gone viral forbidding on
an autographed Taoy Swift guitar and then smashing it the
moment that he got it. This guy announced to the
front of the room of the Allis County Wild Game
Dinner just outside of Texas on Sunday that he was
going to pay four thousand dollars for the guitar and
(10:20):
he was going to take ownership and he was going
to go rogue and he smashed it. I'm not really
sure why he proved he did that. I don't know.
Well he tried to say, it really didn't work in
the beginning. It's a nonprofit group that supports agricultural education
for local youth and the money went to their charity.
(10:41):
The instrument had been donated to the auction by a
third party. It was not intended to be demolished, okay,
but the new owner made the decision to do what
he wanted with it, and he chose the aggressive beating
of the guitar. Take that, Taylor, I'm sure you learned
your lesson against the Ellis County Wild Game Dinner. Don't
you come around here no more? My god, ridiculous four
