of dua lipa to work?
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Yes, I get to a little bit, but I'm scared
because like they're like obviously experts, and I'm like, I
probably don't sound.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Right to them.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
How many days is it now consecutively?
Speaker 3 (00:32):
I just hit I think one and sixty last night.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Well I was making up two thousand, but that's pretty close.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Yeah, on my way.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Are you fluent? Would you say?
Speaker 4 (00:41):
No?
Speaker 1 (00:41):
You learn? Like, what is it?
Speaker 5 (00:42):
Like one word a day?
Speaker 1 (00:43):
What is it?
Speaker 5 (00:44):
How does it?
Speaker 1 (00:44):
No?
Speaker 2 (00:44):
It's like different exercises, so like you do it's like
a five minute exercise every day and you speak some,
you have to type some, you like match stuff, so
it like it kind of gives you like different activities.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Yeah, oh felicidad see yeah, key yeah see miamis the thing.
I have no problem. I can tell you what's happening
right now today, at this moment. Do not ask me
what happened yesterday. Don't ask me what's going to happen tomorrow.
(01:16):
Don't ask me what's going to happen Ayah, don't ask me.
Don't ask me that.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
You know.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
I'm in the imperfect tense right now, and it's really hard.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
I'm not perfect either, and far from it. But I
can tell you which present tense. We are all set. Yeah,
and after a couple of drinks, I can tell you more.
It's pretty amazing. Yeah, a couple of drinks.
Speaker 6 (01:37):
Yeah, I'm like a sudden over here.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Oh wow.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
I did teach my whole team my favorite word in Spanish,
which is saka puntas, which is the pencil sharpener.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
I didn't know that one, and I did come from
a generation of pencil sharpeners. Like way they had them
in the room. Did they have them in the room
still where they still left over from the olden days
in our In our day, I mean we didn't use
actual pencils, but they were still in there. You could.
We used them only for standardized tests. You had to
use the number two pencil.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you'll go up.
Speaker 6 (02:09):
There was there ever another optional like going to the store,
would you ever find like a number one pencil the other.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Kind of pencil?
Speaker 6 (02:14):
Never seen them.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
It was the last right, the lead was the number. Yeah,
and like the machine wouldn't read that the letter. Yeah,
it had to be a certain kind of less yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:22):
Correct. So it was like the wooden the wooden pens pencils.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Well, that's pencils are typically would typically.
Speaker 6 (02:28):
Right, but you're talking about like the mechanical pencils that's
still number two.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Well you can get those in different but yeah, for
whatever reason, they didn't want to use those either. We
had to use a real pencil.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
And on the scantron, Yeah, the bubble and.
Speaker 6 (02:42):
Scantron.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
I have bad ninemares of being in ta with the
scantron machine that we still used in two year, two
thousand and two or whatever. It was like, if you
like scan the first you scan like the master scan thing,
what do you know about grading scanned?
Speaker 5 (02:57):
I worked? How do you think I passed some of
the like were you a grade in your own tests?
I worked in the I worked in the office.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Yeh, did ye who tried to do had they ever
met you before?
Speaker 5 (03:09):
They did not No, but you was an assistant in
the office and had to grade the test.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Yeah, I bet there are people listening who don't even
know what this is. So there was a thing, and
it was the way that they could quickly grade test.
And it was like this this like card almost and
you'd fill in the bubble like you'd have the paper
test they give you the test. You'd have the little
scantron next to it, which is like a little strip,
and it would be like question number one, you know,
what's two plus two? And then multiple choice and then
(03:36):
you you'd fill the bubble in for ABCD whatever it was,
and so to grade them. And that's like I was.
I was a TA in college. So like we'd have
a huge stack of the two hundred people in the class,
so we have this big sect and so we'd have
like a master one. So you put the first one
through was like all the right answers, and then you
put everybody else's through, and every now and again you
get like people who did really poorly on the test,
(03:57):
and it would go and you could hear it market
and it would go like no, and I'd be like,
oh my god, that I put the wrong one in
my test? Did I put the wrong like master in
you know, because because then you put some through and
then it would be like like just one wrong out of
fifty and you'd be like, Okay, that person studied or whatever.
But yeah, I have my anxiety to stay about Scantron's
did you ever?
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Like I remember taking tests and someone told me at
one point and it became my full identity. Taking test
was like it's it's like seventy five percent of the
time at sea, So like if you don't know, just
mark C. And I remember like taking tests and be
like wow, yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
There was that thing if you just put C for everything,
you'll get like a passing grade or that was a
rumor out like that's true.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Well yeah it didn't work for me.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
I guess statistically it would only be a quarter of
the time, right, yeah, I mean you know yeah yeah,
Oh scantron is still used someone to texted me.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
Yeah, well I mean is saying that as well.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
See I didn't do the collating, is it cold colate?
I didn't. I didn't do the copying and like the
stapling and the organizing of that. Someone else did that.
So there was like this big cabinet in a locked
room and you'd go in there and they were color coded,
and you'd like when it was time for the test,
it was already in there, like some graduate student did that.
So then I would grab the big stack and take
(05:10):
them down there, and the professor was not there for
the like testing, so I don't know what test it was.
I just give it up. It turns out one week
they miscolored and I gave out the like the test
that was to be given out later, like the next
test thing. So these kids are all looking at it
and finally somebody raises their hand, like one hundred and
fifty kids. They're like, I don't know, are you sure
this is right? And then I looked at it and
(05:31):
I'm like, I don't know, so I wouldn't got someone.
They're like, this isn't the right test. By that point, though,
several kids had taken the tests, and so we counted
them and we were like three short, which means we're
looking at one hundred and fifty people. Three people had
stolen the test. Oh wow, And so we're like, either
you can give it back to us, or they're going
to rewrite the whole test like it's up to you,
like it's not going to work, and no one would
(05:53):
fess up to stealing the tests, so like the professor
had to go and rewrite the whole test because I
think for a while they were just using the same
test for every class, every semester, every time. Because I
know we've talked about it before. If you were in
a fraternity or sorority, oftentimes you had what was called
a test file, which was where everybody would take their
all their materials from whatever classes and put them in
like one organized area of the fraternity house or sorority house,
(06:17):
and then you could was cheating, but essentially you could
like say I'm taking you know, doctor Smith, so and
so one on one class. You'd go and look up
doctor Smith in the test file and there'd just be
this big stack of old tests and old papers and
old everything, old syllab whatever, and so you and if
the professor was lazy enough, then they would just give you.
They would just be the same assignments over and over
(06:37):
again every time, and you already know what was coming.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Well, that's useful.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Yeah, So people were stealing the test anyway way to
read and then when I'm at the bar and some
drunk kids like, oh, I stole one of the tests.
I'm like, well, I mean, all I had was create
a lot of work for somebody because there was no
way we could give the same test again because somebody
collated improperly. We can't have improper collation relation. Oh I'm
(07:01):
probably not even saying that word right, But it doesn't matter,
Jason Brown, Ladies and gentlemen, Yes back from Miami. M No, no,
moy Fsio caught miago. Oh boy. Now, a couple of
these games, like the Bears game, I mean, oh my god,
(07:25):
that was insane. Oh my god. Everybody knows you're supposed
to bat the ball down, everybody knows to the ground right. Now,
here's what I will say about that. If you watch
the Bears Commanders game, the hail Mary at the end
into the end zone from everyone saw the same thing
I did. But from what I saw, if they had
done nothing and not touched it, a receiver would have
(07:48):
caught it. It would have gone right to a receiver.
So they had to do something to deflect the ball
to get it to go in another direction.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
But at that point still it was so short of
the end zone if you would have caught it.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Yeah, they could have tackled him right there at the
two yards.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
It was just barely short. So I don't know, I
don't know that I wouldn't have tried, but I mean,
try and catch it maybe, or like bat it away.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
My god.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
I mean it's easy to say now, right because like
we in the moment, but if you didn't see the game,
it came down they were down by five the Bears,
or the Bears were up by five, and like within
the last thirty seconds they did this, and the Commanders
at the very last play the game, zero zero zero
on the clock, they just chuck the ball fifty yards
into the end zone and a Bear player tips it
in the air perfectly for a Commanded player to catch
(08:34):
it in the end zone, score a touchdown and win
the game.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
Sitting back there by himself, no one, no one guarding
the guy.
Speaker 6 (08:39):
He's having a bad day.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Yeah, that poor guy man.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
Oh yeah, he had a horrible game.
Speaker 7 (08:44):
Ms cood just like afterwards in the aftermath.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Yeah, but it's like, I mean, the Bears deserve to
lose that game. They it was a horrible game for
the Bears.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Jayden showed out the number two pick showed out. The
number one pick didn't look so good with his busts
of ribs bla blah blah. Oh yeah, oh that narrative
of he's injured, but he's playing because he wants to
prove a point that he should have been taken number one,
and then he outplayed the number one and so yeah, anyway, Jason,
of course you these were all your thoughts. You were
recapping me this morning.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Yeah, Jaden is wild.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Yeah for that. So the Vikings had the Vikings over
the Rams on Thursday, not so much. You had the
Jets over the Patriots. No, you had the Packers over
the Jags. Yes, you had the Bucks over the Falcons. No,
you had the Ravens over the Browns. No, that was
a surprising one. Yeah, you should have gotten that one.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
I was shocked.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
So there's two that you probably should have gotten. You
probably should have gotten the Bears just based on the
weight all played out, and you probably should have gotten
the Ravens, but you didn't. Lions over the Titans, that
was a huge, the Colts over the Texans. No, Eagles
over the Bengals, Yes, Cardinals over the Dolphins, Yes, which
I didn't see that one coming. Seahawks over the Bills,
(09:54):
No Saints over the Chargers, No Bears over the Commanders,
No Chiefs over the Raiders. Yes, Broncos over the Panthers. Yes,
and for some reason, you keep picking the Cowboys. I
don't know when you're gonna learn they're terrible. But you
had the Cowboys over the four nine Ers. No, sorry, Bella,
it was the close game to no why she won
(10:17):
so you picked against You picked against her and her
team won. That's so six and nine was your record.
Six and well, I mean maybe maybe that was what
you were doing on purpose. You could still get to
seven and nine tonight, though, you have the Steelers over
the Giants. I do like that pick. As for the
par sleigh, Travis Kelsey did score the final. Yes, you're
(10:38):
acting surprise. I know you were staring at the week
and you already knew that. Yeah, of course, Can Williams
won't get the sack. Oh, he got the sack and
finance Jalen Hurts will throw two end zones. No, he
threw one and ran for three. So he got the
end zone all right, But he didn't do it the
way you said he would. He ran it, so they
(11:00):
can't lose. Par Slay was a loser. Shocking, unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
God, I tried.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Also, what you take on the World Series while we're
doing sports, Oh, what's your favorite team in the world?
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Actually saw it?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Oh yeah, as opposed to all the NFL games. Yeah,
you actually saw it.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
I have to be a LA fan.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Why because everyone that I was surrounded by all weekend
was LA fans.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
That doesn't mean no, no, no, you don't why you
like New York. I mean in this particular case, and
I don't like New York, but I can't the Dodgers. No,
it's just too But.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
They were also the ones meat bumping, right, so like,
why not?
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Oh, I don't know the Dodgers National League? And then
this whole Tawi story and oh mind hurt too, paid
all the money and then now they're going to win
the World Series. It looks like they did the right thing.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Yeah, it's the two teas they spend the most money
are in the World Series.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Shocking. But the Dodgers have taken a two nothing World
Series lead, and they head to New York for Game
three tonight in a commanding position, with both momentum and
history on their side.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Uh, it would be if they win tonight, it would
be very very, very unlikely that they don't win the
World Series. What do you mean only the Cubs were
down three to one, this would be three nothing. If
they win tonight, they'd be they would be up three
to nothing. I mean so, and it's I think these
statistics on that are not good. Did the did the
(12:19):
Red Sox do it? I think, yeah, the cous did
three to one? Yeah, I know, I mean, I'm asking
you and you already know the answer. But yeah, anyway,
McDonald's is offering their quarter powders again after being ruled
out as an e coali source. The health officials are
saying the number of E. Coli cases linked to McDonald's
is up to seventy five. The outbreak has impacted people
in thirteen states and led to twenty two hospitalizations. One
(12:40):
person died in Colorado. They've removed its quarter pounder from
the menu at a fifth of its locations in response
to the outbreak, but says that it were zoom sales
after testing ruled out the beef patties as the source
of the outbreak. The onions served with the burgers have
been identified as the source are the different kind of
I heard, the different kind of onions.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
So the cheeseburgers have the smallest sandwiches have the dehydrated
onions for the little the little dice de minced ones,
and you rehydrate them. Yeah you pull water really Yeah,
you come in the bag and you need to pull
water in them and then they can be rehydrate them.
Speaker 5 (13:12):
And then like the.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
Quarter pounders, like so the big mac has the small
onions and the quarter pounder has like the sliced onions,
like real onions whatever.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Yeah, those are dehydrated. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
So the hamburgers, cheeseburgers, anything that has a small paddy
has they delivered onions.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
That's what the ticket always says.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
That's the big onions. That's the quarter pounder. Yeah, that's
the ones they're worried about.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
It, got it. I always get no onions. Yeah, I
don't need to know, Like this doesn't do anything for anything.
I've been eating those those little cheeseburgers for like my
whole life. Yeah, I always get the I don't think
it's number two anymore. Is it's still two cheeseburger meal.
I don't think it changed it up. You can still
get it number two. That's what I always get and
it never bothered me. But now in my head for
some reason, that's weird. They're dried, and they they put
water on them, and then now they give them to
(13:54):
you that I thought they were like fresh onions. No,
just the who they use fresh beef now for the
so yeah supposedly so anyway, I don't know. I didn't
need to know that.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
I never seen no one back there chopping the onions.
That's all I want to say. When I'm looking for the.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
For the big ones, they do they have the slicer.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Yeah, I didn't need to see them. Oh, this is why,
you guys, here's another story about food poisoning. This is
why I don't eat at the potlucks. Well I don't
attend them either, but the homes well exactly, yeah, but
I don't eat. I don't eat. Have you ever been
to someone's home before? Like, no, because like a lot
(14:34):
of people live, you know, looking very clean, very put together.
It looks like sanitary stuff. But if you ever been
to someone's house, you're like, this gets kind of gross. Here.
These are the people bringing food in for the potluck, right,
and I know it's all well intentioned and it's like
sharing in holiday and whatever. But I don't trust people's houses.
I mean, people do stuff at their homes and then
(14:55):
they don't clean it. And people call up here all
the time and tell us the stuff they do, and
I don't whatever. Forty six people in Maryland were hospitalized
with food poisoning after eating a noodle dish a coworker
brought to their job. Paramedics had to be called to
the workplace after about an hour after these employees ate
the food. All forty six people who ate the food
were taken to the hospital, all of them in non
(15:16):
critical condition. The company has sense changed their policy to
not allow employees to bring in any outside food.
Speaker 7 (15:21):
If you're getting sick from a noodle dish, like, that's bad.
Like what if there wasn't meating there? They're like, you'd
really have to mess something up.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
I mean, what is going on at that house? I
was like, sabotage to me, what's sole nuclear factory? Are
they making this stuff in?
Speaker 3 (15:33):
There's a saboteur?
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Yeah, but look, I mean people, I don't know. People
allow all kinds of things in their homes that you
don't know about, and then you go to the podlink
and you're eating You're basically eating off forty six people's counters.
Think about this. You have no idea how clean or
not clean? It is the pets. I'm telling you, I
don't like it. And this is why here's another day
(15:56):
and another reason to make fun of gen Z. I
guess I'm not doing it. I'm just telling you what
the headline says. Young people are balking at becoming managers.
Gen Z doesn't want the stress of becoming a manager,
so this is what the story says. Young professionals don't
want to become bosseses. According to the latest research from
a headhunting and recruitment company, they found that fifty two
percent of individuals in the gen Z demographic born between
(16:19):
ninety seven and twenty twelve have zero desire to become
middle managers. When researchers said, it's not that gen Z
doesn't respect leadership, it's that they associate management with stress,
limited autonomy, and poor work life balance, so they don't
want to be the boss. The majority eighty nine percent
of employers feel that middle managers are critical of their businesses.
(16:39):
Nearly three quarters of gen Zers would choose an individual
route to progression, focusing on their own growth and personal
skills rather than having to handle other employees. So they
don't want to be part of a team. They just
want to worry about me and then give me a
raise and all this stuff. I don't want more responsibility.
That's what this is saying. Do we agree with this?
(17:00):
Good for them?
Speaker 5 (17:01):
It's very smart, gen zod is it?
Speaker 1 (17:04):
How is that going to work? Like people have to
lead other people?
Speaker 7 (17:07):
Like both kinds of people, Like like, it's okay to
have both, but we can't have all of one kind.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Not everybody could just be autonomous and just just do
whatever they want, and you know, like somebody has to
organize all those people.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
I mean they've seen they've seen people doing it, you
know what I'm saying. The gen z C like, you know,
their parents.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
People like me that have responsibility like me, You like.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
They've seen their parents in the same position for how
many years?
Speaker 8 (17:31):
You know what I'm saying. Like they grew up watching
it firsthand. So it's just like, why why be a
manager when when they don't even say the job for
two years? They actually I see this, I feel this,
I really do. Like part of the reason I got into
this job is because you could be like semi nomadic,
and for the longest time it was just me. Before
I had a show, it was just me. I came in,
(17:51):
I did five hours, I left.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Like that was it. I just sorry, no, no, no,
it just worked out way better. But the part they
don't teach, clearly they don't teach people like me, is
how to lead. They don't. They don't teach that. You
know what I mean, Because now I got this team,
I got a hundred of you, and I love you
all deeply, but I don't know how to motivate any
I don't know how to do that. When you look
at me, you don't think there's there's our fearless you
(18:13):
might think. You might think fearless. You might also be stupid,
but I don't think you necessarily think there's captain positivity.
He's raw, raw, rally the team. See, it's got to
be hard to be a manager. What I'm technically not
a manager, Jason is though.
Speaker 6 (18:26):
It's got to be hard.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
And I'm willing to bet if you ask anyone that
I quote unquote manage if they would want my job,
I guarantee you they all say no, No, Like what
it does.
Speaker 6 (18:36):
Yeah, they don't want to grow lost their way to
the top. And I get it, Like I see, especially
when they see the pay is probably like not what
they thought, you know, So I get it.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
What the people that make a lot of money typically
you know, have people working quote unquote for them. Typically
not always, but sometimes what cost.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
I'm just kidding. I don't know.
Speaker 6 (18:55):
I'm not a manager. I'm the way your salary managers.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
And a New Jersey woman suing Jet Blue over an
ice cream sandwich that she claims was dangerously cold oh
well on a flight from New York to Paris. So
the woman said that she wasn't told that the ice
cream that she was served was frozen solid and chipped
one of her teeth when she bit into it. After
landing in Paris, the one had to have emergency tooth extraction,
(19:20):
an implant, and then continuing care. She's demanding money and
the Jet Blue pay all of her court costs. They
haven't commented on this lawsuit. I mean, when they handed
you the sandwich and you felt it and you unwrapped it,
I hope you unwrapped it, you know. Maybe maybe this
person didn't. I'm not sure, but unwrapped it. I mean,
(19:41):
at what point where you're like, boy, this is firm,
you know, like I'm gonna put this in my mouth?
And then how hard did you bite on it?
Speaker 6 (19:48):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (19:50):
You know what I mean, like, how hard do you
have to bite on something before you're like, h I
don't think I'm going to get through this to the
point of breaking my own teeth? Are we not responsible
for what we're putting in our mouths? Hell? Save that
audio too well. I mean I don't, I don't. I
just it was handed to you. It's cold, right, it's hard,
(20:12):
rock solid. I don't know. I guess I don't have
a whole lot of sympathy. So, I mean, mouth pain
is terrible, you know, teeth related pain is terrible, and
I'm sorry that happened to you, But like what, it's
not like the coffee that was handed to you and
you didn't know the lid was on it. Remember that
whole McDonald's lost suit. And that's a different situation, because
you know, I guess when someone hands me coffee, I
(20:33):
mean I checked the lid, but like, I don't know
if you didn't hand me, if the coffee was like
way too hot and the lid wasn't properly. Then it
goes all over me like that. I don't really have
as much control over that, but there was there was
a lot of thinking that could have been done here
between when you handed me the ice cream sandwich and
when I cracked my teeth.
Speaker 6 (20:50):
No, your fault, not mine.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
This person doesn't want to be a leader. Clearly it
must be gently. Yeah, it's National first Responder's Day. Shout
out to Hobby. Hey, Hobby, you better hook him up today.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
I can do that.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 6 (21:05):
I will pay the price for our first responders.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Yes, well, we need not all of them, but we
don't have to do them all. This isn't one of
those I've seen this movie before. You don't have to
do that. It's National Internal Medicine Day. That's chocolate Day
today as well. We don't need to line him up.
Just your husband, just just knowing. Get excited for the entertainer,
(21:29):
reports net
You get some bread show. This is what's trending, all right,
Jason Brad is back from it great.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
It's honestly one of my favorite shows that we do
because the vibes are immaculate, Like everyone comes like dressed
to the nines. They're there at a party, Like there's
no drama.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
It's just like fun. Like everyone is just so fun.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
And you can put your what two thousand consecutive days
of dua lipa to work?
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Yes, I get to a little bit, but I'm scared
because like they're like obviously experts, and I'm like, I
probably don't sound.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Right to them.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
How many days is it now consecutively?
Speaker 3 (00:32):
I just hit I think one and sixty last night.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Well I was making up two thousand, but that's pretty close.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Yeah, on my way.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Are you fluent? Would you say?
Speaker 4 (00:41):
No?
Speaker 1 (00:41):
You learn? Like, what is it?
Speaker 5 (00:42):
Like one word a day?
Speaker 1 (00:43):
What is it?
Speaker 5 (00:44):
How does it?
Speaker 1 (00:44):
No?
Speaker 2 (00:44):
It's like different exercises, so like you do it's like
a five minute exercise every day and you speak some,
you have to type some, you like match stuff, so
it like it kind of gives you like different activities.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Yeah, oh felicidad see yeah, key yeah see miamis the thing.
I have no problem. I can tell you what's happening
right now today, at this moment. Do not ask me
what happened yesterday. Don't ask me what's going to happen tomorrow.
(01:16):
Don't ask me what's going to happen Ayah, don't ask me.
Don't ask me that.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
You know.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
I'm in the imperfect tense right now, and it's really hard.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
I'm not perfect either, and far from it. But I
can tell you which present tense. We are all set. Yeah,
and after a couple of drinks, I can tell you more.
It's pretty amazing. Yeah, a couple of drinks.
Speaker 6 (01:37):
Yeah, I'm like a sudden over here.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Oh wow.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
I did teach my whole team my favorite word in Spanish,
which is saka puntas, which is the pencil sharpener.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
I didn't know that one, and I did come from
a generation of pencil sharpeners. Like way they had them
in the room. Did they have them in the room
still where they still left over from the olden days
in our In our day, I mean we didn't use
actual pencils, but they were still in there. You could.
We used them only for standardized tests. You had to
use the number two pencil.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you'll go up.
Speaker 6 (02:09):
There was there ever another optional like going to the store,
would you ever find like a number one pencil the other.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Kind of pencil?
Speaker 6 (02:14):
Never seen them.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
It was the last right, the lead was the number. Yeah,
and like the machine wouldn't read that the letter. Yeah,
it had to be a certain kind of less yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:22):
Correct. So it was like the wooden the wooden pens pencils.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Well, that's pencils are typically would typically.
Speaker 6 (02:28):
Right, but you're talking about like the mechanical pencils that's
still number two.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Well you can get those in different but yeah, for
whatever reason, they didn't want to use those either. We
had to use a real pencil.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
And on the scantron, Yeah, the bubble and.
Speaker 6 (02:42):
Scantron.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
I have bad ninemares of being in ta with the
scantron machine that we still used in two year, two
thousand and two or whatever. It was like, if you
like scan the first you scan like the master scan thing,
what do you know about grading scanned?
Speaker 5 (02:57):
I worked? How do you think I passed some of
the like were you a grade in your own tests?
I worked in the I worked in the office.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Yeh, did ye who tried to do had they ever
met you before?
Speaker 5 (03:09):
They did not No, but you was an assistant in
the office and had to grade the test.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Yeah, I bet there are people listening who don't even
know what this is. So there was a thing, and
it was the way that they could quickly grade test.
And it was like this this like card almost and
you'd fill in the bubble like you'd have the paper
test they give you the test. You'd have the little
scantron next to it, which is like a little strip,
and it would be like question number one, you know,
what's two plus two? And then multiple choice and then
(03:36):
you you'd fill the bubble in for ABCD whatever it was,
and so to grade them. And that's like I was.
I was a TA in college. So like we'd have
a huge stack of the two hundred people in the class,
so we have this big sect and so we'd have
like a master one. So you put the first one
through was like all the right answers, and then you
put everybody else's through, and every now and again you
get like people who did really poorly on the test,
(03:57):
and it would go and you could hear it market
and it would go like no, and I'd be like,
oh my god, that I put the wrong one in
my test? Did I put the wrong like master in
you know, because because then you put some through and
then it would be like like just one wrong out of
fifty and you'd be like, Okay, that person studied or whatever.
But yeah, I have my anxiety to stay about Scantron's
did you ever?
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Like I remember taking tests and someone told me at
one point and it became my full identity. Taking test
was like it's it's like seventy five percent of the
time at sea, So like if you don't know, just
mark C. And I remember like taking tests and be
like wow, yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
There was that thing if you just put C for everything,
you'll get like a passing grade or that was a
rumor out like that's true.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Well yeah it didn't work for me.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
I guess statistically it would only be a quarter of
the time, right, yeah, I mean you know yeah yeah,
Oh scantron is still used someone to texted me.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
Yeah, well I mean is saying that as well.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
See I didn't do the collating, is it cold colate?
I didn't. I didn't do the copying and like the
stapling and the organizing of that. Someone else did that.
So there was like this big cabinet in a locked
room and you'd go in there and they were color coded,
and you'd like when it was time for the test,
it was already in there, like some graduate student did that.
So then I would grab the big stack and take
(05:10):
them down there, and the professor was not there for
the like testing, so I don't know what test it was.
I just give it up. It turns out one week
they miscolored and I gave out the like the test
that was to be given out later, like the next
test thing. So these kids are all looking at it
and finally somebody raises their hand, like one hundred and
fifty kids. They're like, I don't know, are you sure
this is right? And then I looked at it and
(05:31):
I'm like, I don't know, so I wouldn't got someone.
They're like, this isn't the right test. By that point, though,
several kids had taken the tests, and so we counted
them and we were like three short, which means we're
looking at one hundred and fifty people. Three people had
stolen the test. Oh wow, And so we're like, either
you can give it back to us, or they're going
to rewrite the whole test like it's up to you,
like it's not going to work, and no one would
(05:53):
fess up to stealing the tests, so like the professor
had to go and rewrite the whole test because I
think for a while they were just using the same
test for every class, every semester, every time. Because I
know we've talked about it before. If you were in
a fraternity or sorority, oftentimes you had what was called
a test file, which was where everybody would take their
all their materials from whatever classes and put them in
like one organized area of the fraternity house or sorority house,
(06:17):
and then you could was cheating, but essentially you could
like say I'm taking you know, doctor Smith, so and
so one on one class. You'd go and look up
doctor Smith in the test file and there'd just be
this big stack of old tests and old papers and
old everything, old syllab whatever, and so you and if
the professor was lazy enough, then they would just give you.
They would just be the same assignments over and over
(06:37):
again every time, and you already know what was coming.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Well, that's useful.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Yeah, So people were stealing the test anyway way to
read and then when I'm at the bar and some
drunk kids like, oh, I stole one of the tests.
I'm like, well, I mean, all I had was create
a lot of work for somebody because there was no
way we could give the same test again because somebody
collated improperly. We can't have improper collation relation. Oh I'm
(07:01):
probably not even saying that word right, But it doesn't matter,
Jason Brown, Ladies and gentlemen, Yes back from Miami. M No, no,
moy Fsio caught miago. Oh boy. Now, a couple of
these games, like the Bears game, I mean, oh my god,
(07:25):
that was insane. Oh my god. Everybody knows you're supposed
to bat the ball down, everybody knows to the ground right. Now,
here's what I will say about that. If you watch
the Bears Commanders game, the hail Mary at the end
into the end zone from everyone saw the same thing
I did. But from what I saw, if they had
done nothing and not touched it, a receiver would have
(07:48):
caught it. It would have gone right to a receiver.
So they had to do something to deflect the ball
to get it to go in another direction.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
But at that point still it was so short of
the end zone if you would have caught it.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Yeah, they could have tackled him right there at the
two yards.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
It was just barely short. So I don't know, I
don't know that I wouldn't have tried, but I mean,
try and catch it maybe, or like bat it away.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
My god.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
I mean it's easy to say now, right because like
we in the moment, but if you didn't see the game,
it came down they were down by five the Bears,
or the Bears were up by five, and like within
the last thirty seconds they did this, and the Commanders
at the very last play the game, zero zero zero
on the clock, they just chuck the ball fifty yards
into the end zone and a Bear player tips it
in the air perfectly for a Commanded player to catch
(08:34):
it in the end zone, score a touchdown and win
the game.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
Sitting back there by himself, no one, no one guarding
the guy.
Speaker 6 (08:39):
He's having a bad day.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Yeah, that poor guy man.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
Oh yeah, he had a horrible game.
Speaker 7 (08:44):
Ms cood just like afterwards in the aftermath.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Yeah, but it's like, I mean, the Bears deserve to
lose that game. They it was a horrible game for
the Bears.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Jayden showed out the number two pick showed out. The
number one pick didn't look so good with his busts
of ribs bla blah blah. Oh yeah, oh that narrative
of he's injured, but he's playing because he wants to
prove a point that he should have been taken number one,
and then he outplayed the number one and so yeah, anyway, Jason,
of course you these were all your thoughts. You were
recapping me this morning.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Yeah, Jaden is wild.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Yeah for that. So the Vikings had the Vikings over
the Rams on Thursday, not so much. You had the
Jets over the Patriots. No, you had the Packers over
the Jags. Yes, you had the Bucks over the Falcons. No,
you had the Ravens over the Browns. No, that was
a surprising one. Yeah, you should have gotten that one.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
I was shocked.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
So there's two that you probably should have gotten. You
probably should have gotten the Bears just based on the
weight all played out, and you probably should have gotten
the Ravens, but you didn't. Lions over the Titans, that
was a huge, the Colts over the Texans. No, Eagles
over the Bengals, Yes, Cardinals over the Dolphins, Yes, which
I didn't see that one coming. Seahawks over the Bills,
(09:54):
No Saints over the Chargers, No Bears over the Commanders,
No Chiefs over the Raiders. Yes, Broncos over the Panthers. Yes,
and for some reason, you keep picking the Cowboys. I
don't know when you're gonna learn they're terrible. But you
had the Cowboys over the four nine Ers. No, sorry, Bella,
it was the close game to no why she won
(10:17):
so you picked against You picked against her and her
team won. That's so six and nine was your record.
Six and well, I mean maybe maybe that was what
you were doing on purpose. You could still get to
seven and nine tonight, though, you have the Steelers over
the Giants. I do like that pick. As for the
par sleigh, Travis Kelsey did score the final. Yes, you're
(10:38):
acting surprise. I know you were staring at the week
and you already knew that. Yeah, of course, Can Williams
won't get the sack. Oh, he got the sack and
finance Jalen Hurts will throw two end zones. No, he
threw one and ran for three. So he got the
end zone all right, But he didn't do it the
way you said he would. He ran it, so they
(11:00):
can't lose. Par Slay was a loser. Shocking, unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
God, I tried.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Also, what you take on the World Series while we're
doing sports, Oh, what's your favorite team in the world?
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Actually saw it?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Oh yeah, as opposed to all the NFL games. Yeah,
you actually saw it.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
I have to be a LA fan.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Why because everyone that I was surrounded by all weekend
was LA fans.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
That doesn't mean no, no, no, you don't why you
like New York. I mean in this particular case, and
I don't like New York, but I can't the Dodgers. No,
it's just too But.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
They were also the ones meat bumping, right, so like,
why not?
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Oh, I don't know the Dodgers National League? And then
this whole Tawi story and oh mind hurt too, paid
all the money and then now they're going to win
the World Series. It looks like they did the right thing.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Yeah, it's the two teas they spend the most money
are in the World Series.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Shocking. But the Dodgers have taken a two nothing World
Series lead, and they head to New York for Game
three tonight in a commanding position, with both momentum and
history on their side.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Uh, it would be if they win tonight, it would
be very very, very unlikely that they don't win the
World Series. What do you mean only the Cubs were
down three to one, this would be three nothing. If
they win tonight, they'd be they would be up three
to nothing. I mean so, and it's I think these
statistics on that are not good. Did the did the
(12:19):
Red Sox do it? I think, yeah, the cous did
three to one? Yeah, I know, I mean, I'm asking
you and you already know the answer. But yeah, anyway,
McDonald's is offering their quarter powders again after being ruled
out as an e coali source. The health officials are
saying the number of E. Coli cases linked to McDonald's
is up to seventy five. The outbreak has impacted people
in thirteen states and led to twenty two hospitalizations. One
(12:40):
person died in Colorado. They've removed its quarter pounder from
the menu at a fifth of its locations in response
to the outbreak, but says that it were zoom sales
after testing ruled out the beef patties as the source
of the outbreak. The onions served with the burgers have
been identified as the source are the different kind of
I heard, the different kind of onions.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
So the cheeseburgers have the smallest sandwiches have the dehydrated
onions for the little the little dice de minced ones,
and you rehydrate them. Yeah you pull water really Yeah,
you come in the bag and you need to pull
water in them and then they can be rehydrate them.
Speaker 5 (13:12):
And then like the.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
Quarter pounders, like so the big mac has the small
onions and the quarter pounder has like the sliced onions,
like real onions whatever.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Yeah, those are dehydrated. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
So the hamburgers, cheeseburgers, anything that has a small paddy
has they delivered onions.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
That's what the ticket always says.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
That's the big onions. That's the quarter pounder. Yeah, that's
the ones they're worried about.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
It, got it. I always get no onions. Yeah, I
don't need to know, Like this doesn't do anything for anything.
I've been eating those those little cheeseburgers for like my
whole life. Yeah, I always get the I don't think
it's number two anymore. Is it's still two cheeseburger meal.
I don't think it changed it up. You can still
get it number two. That's what I always get and
it never bothered me. But now in my head for
some reason, that's weird. They're dried, and they they put
water on them, and then now they give them to
(13:54):
you that I thought they were like fresh onions. No,
just the who they use fresh beef now for the
so yeah supposedly so anyway, I don't know. I didn't
need to know that.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
I never seen no one back there chopping the onions.
That's all I want to say. When I'm looking for the.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
For the big ones, they do they have the slicer.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Yeah, I didn't need to see them. Oh, this is why,
you guys, here's another story about food poisoning. This is
why I don't eat at the potlucks. Well I don't
attend them either, but the homes well exactly, yeah, but
I don't eat. I don't eat. Have you ever been
to someone's home before? Like, no, because like a lot
(14:34):
of people live, you know, looking very clean, very put together.
It looks like sanitary stuff. But if you ever been
to someone's house, you're like, this gets kind of gross. Here.
These are the people bringing food in for the potluck, right,
and I know it's all well intentioned and it's like
sharing in holiday and whatever. But I don't trust people's houses.
I mean, people do stuff at their homes and then
(14:55):
they don't clean it. And people call up here all
the time and tell us the stuff they do, and
I don't whatever. Forty six people in Maryland were hospitalized
with food poisoning after eating a noodle dish a coworker
brought to their job. Paramedics had to be called to
the workplace after about an hour after these employees ate
the food. All forty six people who ate the food
were taken to the hospital, all of them in non
(15:16):
critical condition. The company has sense changed their policy to
not allow employees to bring in any outside food.
Speaker 7 (15:21):
If you're getting sick from a noodle dish, like, that's bad.
Like what if there wasn't meating there? They're like, you'd
really have to mess something up.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
I mean, what is going on at that house? I
was like, sabotage to me, what's sole nuclear factory? Are
they making this stuff in?
Speaker 3 (15:33):
There's a saboteur?
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Yeah, but look, I mean people, I don't know. People
allow all kinds of things in their homes that you
don't know about, and then you go to the podlink
and you're eating You're basically eating off forty six people's counters.
Think about this. You have no idea how clean or
not clean? It is the pets. I'm telling you, I
don't like it. And this is why here's another day
(15:56):
and another reason to make fun of gen Z. I
guess I'm not doing it. I'm just telling you what
the headline says. Young people are balking at becoming managers.
Gen Z doesn't want the stress of becoming a manager,
so this is what the story says. Young professionals don't
want to become bosseses. According to the latest research from
a headhunting and recruitment company, they found that fifty two
percent of individuals in the gen Z demographic born between
(16:19):
ninety seven and twenty twelve have zero desire to become
middle managers. When researchers said, it's not that gen Z
doesn't respect leadership, it's that they associate management with stress,
limited autonomy, and poor work life balance, so they don't
want to be the boss. The majority eighty nine percent
of employers feel that middle managers are critical of their businesses.
(16:39):
Nearly three quarters of gen Zers would choose an individual
route to progression, focusing on their own growth and personal
skills rather than having to handle other employees. So they
don't want to be part of a team. They just
want to worry about me and then give me a
raise and all this stuff. I don't want more responsibility.
That's what this is saying. Do we agree with this?
(17:00):
Good for them?
Speaker 5 (17:01):
It's very smart, gen zod is it?
Speaker 1 (17:04):
How is that going to work? Like people have to
lead other people?
Speaker 7 (17:07):
Like both kinds of people, Like like, it's okay to
have both, but we can't have all of one kind.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Not everybody could just be autonomous and just just do
whatever they want, and you know, like somebody has to
organize all those people.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
I mean they've seen they've seen people doing it, you
know what I'm saying. The gen z C like, you know,
their parents.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
People like me that have responsibility like me, You like.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
They've seen their parents in the same position for how
many years?
Speaker 8 (17:31):
You know what I'm saying. Like they grew up watching
it firsthand. So it's just like, why why be a
manager when when they don't even say the job for
two years? They actually I see this, I feel this,
I really do. Like part of the reason I got into
this job is because you could be like semi nomadic,
and for the longest time it was just me. Before
I had a show, it was just me. I came in,
(17:51):
I did five hours, I left.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Like that was it. I just sorry, no, no, no,
it just worked out way better. But the part they
don't teach, clearly they don't teach people like me, is
how to lead. They don't. They don't teach that. You
know what I mean, Because now I got this team,
I got a hundred of you, and I love you
all deeply, but I don't know how to motivate any
I don't know how to do that. When you look
at me, you don't think there's there's our fearless you
(18:13):
might think. You might think fearless. You might also be stupid,
but I don't think you necessarily think there's captain positivity.
He's raw, raw, rally the team. See, it's got to
be hard to be a manager. What I'm technically not
a manager, Jason is though.
Speaker 6 (18:26):
It's got to be hard.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
And I'm willing to bet if you ask anyone that
I quote unquote manage if they would want my job,
I guarantee you they all say no, No, Like what
it does.
Speaker 6 (18:36):
Yeah, they don't want to grow lost their way to
the top. And I get it, Like I see, especially
when they see the pay is probably like not what
they thought, you know, So I get it.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
What the people that make a lot of money typically
you know, have people working quote unquote for them. Typically
not always, but sometimes what cost.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
I'm just kidding. I don't know.
Speaker 6 (18:55):
I'm not a manager. I'm the way your salary managers.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
And a New Jersey woman suing Jet Blue over an
ice cream sandwich that she claims was dangerously cold oh
well on a flight from New York to Paris. So
the woman said that she wasn't told that the ice
cream that she was served was frozen solid and chipped
one of her teeth when she bit into it. After
landing in Paris, the one had to have emergency tooth extraction,
(19:20):
an implant, and then continuing care. She's demanding money and
the Jet Blue pay all of her court costs. They
haven't commented on this lawsuit. I mean, when they handed
you the sandwich and you felt it and you unwrapped it,
I hope you unwrapped it, you know. Maybe maybe this
person didn't. I'm not sure, but unwrapped it. I mean,
(19:41):
at what point where you're like, boy, this is firm,
you know, like I'm gonna put this in my mouth?
And then how hard did you bite on it?
Speaker 6 (19:48):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (19:50):
You know what I mean, like, how hard do you
have to bite on something before you're like, h I
don't think I'm going to get through this to the
point of breaking my own teeth? Are we not responsible
for what we're putting in our mouths? Hell? Save that
audio too well. I mean I don't, I don't. I
just it was handed to you. It's cold, right, it's hard,
(20:12):
rock solid. I don't know. I guess I don't have
a whole lot of sympathy. So, I mean, mouth pain
is terrible, you know, teeth related pain is terrible, and
I'm sorry that happened to you, But like what, it's
not like the coffee that was handed to you and
you didn't know the lid was on it. Remember that
whole McDonald's lost suit. And that's a different situation, because
you know, I guess when someone hands me coffee, I
(20:33):
mean I checked the lid, but like, I don't know
if you didn't hand me, if the coffee was like
way too hot and the lid wasn't properly. Then it
goes all over me like that. I don't really have
as much control over that, but there was there was
a lot of thinking that could have been done here
between when you handed me the ice cream sandwich and
when I cracked my teeth.
Speaker 6 (20:50):
No, your fault, not mine.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
This person doesn't want to be a leader. Clearly it
must be gently. Yeah, it's National first Responder's Day. Shout
out to Hobby. Hey, Hobby, you better hook him up today.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
I can do that.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 6 (21:05):
I will pay the price for our first responders.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Yes, well, we need not all of them, but we
don't have to do them all. This isn't one of
those I've seen this movie before. You don't have to
do that. It's National Internal Medicine Day. That's chocolate Day
today as well. We don't need to line him up.
Just your husband, just just knowing. Get excited for the entertainer,
