Speaker 1 (00:00):
Show. This is what's trending.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
There was an election. I'm not sure if you're familiar
with that. It took place. It's over now. Vice President
Kamala Harris encouraged her voters to keep fighting as she
delivered her concession speech from Howard University yesterday. Nevada and
Arizona were called for Trump last night. He finishes with
three hundred and twelve electoral votes, the most for a
Republican presidential candidate since nineteen eighty eight. You heard of
a guy named Garfield. Garf, You're a guy named ma
(00:24):
Grover Grover. I was like those, Well there's Garfield. Who's Cleveland?
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Girl?
Speaker 2 (00:29):
That Grover Garfield? Isn't there a president named Garfield? Cat
the caid Garfield isn't there? It's living like fifty seven?
I thought there was a historical figure named Garfield.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Yeah, do you know what president we're on? No, we're
on forty seven hundred. Oh, James A.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Garfield. I knew it was a guard president.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Seven And you think Garfield was fifty seven? Girl, I
don't know the president's like that. I got to go
talk to your school?
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Was Chester A Arthur? Here? You go names the names
back then word elite. They really were.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
I knew there was a Garfield involved, but Grover was
the guy I was thinking of Overland. I don't know
if you know about this, but he was the only
other president to win non consecutive terms.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
I don't know if you guys knew about that.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
James Garfield, he was assassinated eighty one.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
All right, well we lost Rufio. Now he's off in
presidential history land. By the way, Kiki, somebody texted, and again,
I don't think you should do this. I don't think
this is a good idea. But somebody said, I have
a life hack for Kiki. Next time, just take a
luminum foil, wrap all the food in it, and then
use the iron to heat it. You don't don't do
not use the iron for anything other than iron for
(01:44):
many reasons.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Noted Sanato.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
How was they gonna charge you for a little bit
of foil?
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Where are you going to get that from?
Speaker 5 (01:49):
I asked the restaurant, take my food home, a little
piece of foil in there.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Chef's gonna come up there and say, is she running
a restaurant? Chefs for a micro she needs some sugar?
I mean, what is she making a cake? Like what's
going on Kiki Restaurant in room seventeen nineteen.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
You gotta pop up a right, see how's going on?
Speaker 2 (02:11):
The Nutmeg? Then? I just I love Nutmega? I mean,
what is going on? The Calm app scored big on
election night with a perfect silence ad.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
I didn't see this.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
I didn't see very many commercials because they were too
busy with their magic wall. But during the CNN and
ABC election coverage, the app ran an ad that was
simply thirty seconds of silence with words on the screen
explaining it. That led to a more than one hundred
spot jump in the app store. By offering a moment
of peace amid the chaos and skyrocketing stress, Calm nailed it.
They went a step further on Instagram Live. They created
(02:48):
a Calming corner by streaming penguins and meerkats at the
San Diego Zoo. One hundred and fifty thousand people tuned in.
There's Goodness World, I was pretty star. Also west Jet,
which is a big Canadian airline's as soon as it's
all went down, they posted like one way flights to
Canada or whatever and click here you can go if
you want to, and a whole bunch of celebrities, by
(03:09):
the way I read this morning, a whole bunch of
people who claim they were gonna who was it, Bette
Midler or somebody who was gonna drink bleach and somebody
else was going to do this. They've all deleted their
social media because it's like, well, I don't really want
to do that after all. So work trips take Americans
away from the polls on election day, right, But if
you didn't vote because you were traveling, or because you
(03:30):
weren't near the voting place, whatever reason, you have no excuse.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Do you want to know why?
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Because astronauts voted, Butch and Sunida cast their vote from space.
From space, NASA put together the Space Communication Navigation Program
for astronauts to board the International Space Station were able
to cast their votes virtually from space. So Butch, Sunita,
a guy named Don, a dude named Nick Nick Don Suoni.
(03:57):
And now Butch is kind of like an eighteen hundreds name.
But there ain't no There are no Chester. Well whatever
was it? Guy's name was Arthur? There ain't no And
that's another thing we should bring back. The a like
Steven A. Smith is onto something you call me Christopher G.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
I mean, lett's bring back the middle initial for everyone
who's not a lawyer. He ever even knows that's who.
Every lawyer, by the way, has to give you their
middle initial. Huh oh yeah, and why and every reeltor
has to put their picture onto everything.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
It's like what they they got a poet?
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Why why you got the best house? You got the
best price. I'm I'm Mombia. You know what I mean?
Are you? Are you already my good friend's realtor?
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Because that's how I'm going to hire you anyway, you
know what I mean, Like, I don't know, I am honestly,
Next time you need a realtor, who do you ask? Like?
Somebody else? Somebody else? Yeah, I don't even see what
you look like. Did you get a good deal or
the person nice to you? Okay, good, I'll hire them.
That's how that works. Anyway. They were able to post
their ballot. They filled out. An electric ballot was encrypted
them and uploaded through NASA's Tracking and Data Relay satellite
(04:58):
system to a groundhown and at White Sands in New Mexico.
From there, the ballot is forwarded via landline to Mission
Control in Houston, Michigan. Control then sends the ballot to
the astronaut's home county clerk. So the series of people,
I guess that them know who you voted for. I
don't know if you care. I mean, you're an astronaut,
you're in space. As we know the Fred Show constitution,
(05:19):
you give it up to real astronauts.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
So I don't know. Maybe it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Would you feel pressure to vote differently if you if
you if you knew somebody, if you were relaying your
vote to somebody else, who's.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Gonna get me down?
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:35):
If if one of you is considering defunding Mass, ye
get my vote. No, not from me, not this guy.
It's like we're thinking about a bunch of cuts up Massive. Nope,
but I vote for the other one. Then I need
to come home now. Raphael overperformed as made land I
(05:56):
love how we're just like hurricanes or just first name
basis now.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
It over formed as it made landfall in Cuba yesterday.
The storm was forecast to build to at least a
category two, but it actually hit western Cuba as a
Category three, collapse in the country's national electric grid and
leaving its ten million residents in the dark yet again.
The grid has suffered multiple collapses over the past two months,
and as of ten pm last night, the National Hurricane
(06:19):
Center said that Raphael had crossed over Cuba and entered
into the Gulf of Mexico. Now in a real word,
on what path it will take from there. I want
to tell you about a sad story this morning, but
it will lead. It will lead to something much happier
and potentially even nostalgic. But a guy named Murray McCrory,
who was then I guess, named Murray Platz. I don't
(06:41):
know why you change his name Murray A. Pltz or
just Murray Pltz.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Why can you talk about putting the initials back in
the middle name.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
I don't know if that's his middle name though, So
I don't know if that's right. I know.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
What about d You know what d though? D? But
you know about d? Yes?
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Yeah, I gotta get him to say d all right, Dah.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
You boy Dixon? Do you know anything about him?
Speaker 3 (07:22):
I know Dixon.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
He's got a microwave in his room.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
So this dude was a student at the University of Washington,
and he entered a contest sponsored by an aluminum maker
to create a new design. You'll see where this is
going for a lightweight metal aluminum. He won a backpack
design which was easier for outdoor adventurers to use in
wood frame ones that they were using at the time.
That is where the company Jan Sport. Our friend Murray
(07:51):
McCrory invented Jan Sport and he passed away recently at
the age of eighty, was created and branded as the
high school backpack. Did not everyone in this room had
a Chance Sport backpack at one point and every single
one of us did you, I'm sure you did so
on the top it it's like the backpack. I didn't
(08:13):
have the most standard backpack of all. You didn't have
a Jam Sport.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
So Jason did they allow carried around with you? Oh
see what?
Speaker 2 (08:26):
But like I remember, you had to have There was
just this stuff you had to have. And I'm sure
it matters which generation, in which generation you were you
were going to school, but I mean Jan Sport was
pretty standard. You know, you had to have Jan Sport.
But like what what you guys remember was the thing
you had to have, Like it had to be the
name brand, Like you couldn't have like Frank you.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Think about that way, Cookie at is what you marry
Becaus And Frank wanted a lot of things. I love
poor girl.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
I'm so sorry.
Speaker 5 (09:08):
I'm so sorry.
Speaker 3 (09:09):

had to have and Frank.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
Yeah, I'm just gonna go ahead and shut up now.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
I think you should.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
You're in a role. I think you should definitely not
stop talking. Yeah, someone just texted you said that with
your chest.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
I said that you.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Were absolutely so proud of that contribution.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
And Frank, everybody's gonna understand what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
I feel I feel like you would be the guy
that was probably the most like attuned to the brands
that you had to have because you I remember you
were talking about your mom and how she made sure
you always had that stuff.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Yeah, I mean you always had to have the good stuff. Yeah,
trapper Keeper was for sure.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
I still know that is it was a trapper keeper.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
It held all the hold Okay.
Speaker 7 (11:13):
Oh yeah, I see it wrapped around like it's very specific.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Yeah, got it.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Yeah, it's really cool if you walked around with that.
Yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
Using the word and the explanation, definition said trapper.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Keeping me mead five star notebooks.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Like they had like the plastic yes over the top

Oh that was a big We wanted to have those
like jelly milky pens that you could draw on your body.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
An I was going to.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Say, but the markers that had the smell markers remember those,
oh oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Yeah, and it came in a styrofog yeah twenty something,
the even bigger one with the sharpener in it.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Yes. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
See my mom I went to like a boogie school,
and we were My parents worked really hard. We had
a lot of things, but we weren't quite as boogie
because a lot of a lot of the material items
that the kids at the school I went to had
were like guilt items because their parents were like rich
and never around or or like doing coke or you know,
in rehab or something. So like they just had like
(12:21):
unlimited spending. So like I mean, it was impossible to
keep up with certain kids. Like certain kids had every
if it was brand new, they had it before, like
they had where'd.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
You get that? Like, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
My friend, my dad knows, the guy from Nike, he knows,
you know, whatever.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Whatever, it just comes over and frien collections.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
They always I don't know how they had it.
Speaker 6 (12:42):
Amsterdam had the one diary one I knew.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
A guy who had the actual diary was weird. I
don't know why he was carrying it around. It was
very strange. Fine, my god, she meant it, but like
my mom, so I wouldn't do all that. You know,
she'd buy me like parents, like nice pair of shoes
per season, and like whatever I needed. But in the
beginning of the year she'd stock me up, but like,
(13:07):
she wasn't in it. I wouldn't if I came home,
if she had to buy me everything to keep up
with everybody else, we'd be at the store every day.
But what really got her going is if certain kids
got stuff that she didn't like, Like if she didn't
like their parents, there was no way that that kid
was going to have something that I didn't have, And
so I would I would pray on that. You know,
I'd be like, well, well Todd got whatever, all right,
(13:30):
Todd by the way, Yeah, but you know Todd got
is that right? Let's go certain stuff that like n uh,
you know, like these kids whatever, we can't keep up
with them that his parents bottom one, Okay, all right,
let's go to target, you know, or whatever. I don't
know why if she was triggered by certain people.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
What about you?
Speaker 2 (13:52):
What do you remember what do you remember having to
have when you were growing up and I would love
to hear your you try and convince your mother about it.
All these material items that you needed, yeah, had come
from poland.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
There was no convincing.
Speaker 8 (14:04):
My mother said, I was I was lucky to even
you know, be here type thing like that was yeah,
I didn't get anything really special, but I don't know.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
I think for me it was like kse Swiss was
like a big brand.
Speaker 8 (14:13):
We had to have ky Swiss, but she always took
me to pay Less and it was always like by
one get one half off or something about.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
One get one free. So I thought the bootleg shoes
and like I hated that.
Speaker 8 (14:22):
So when I got a little older, I would like
take my allowance money or whatever I was working in.
I was sixteen or fifteen, so I was like, I'm gonna,
you know, buy Casewisz.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
North Face is a big one.
Speaker 8 (14:31):
But it's really funny you say that because my mom
with me would not like purchase anything. Like if I
asked her, hy can I get this? Can I get that?
I was not allowed to have. And Frank Lisa Frank
whoever Frank I was half any of hers trust Lisa.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
I had to do a Walmart. I had to do
the Walmart brands. I was so upset.
Speaker 8 (14:46):
But my sister, on the other hand, asked her about
her experience.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Sylvia got with Sylvia wanted I was always younger Sylvia.
Speaker 8 (14:57):
My favorite one is that she got to go to
driving school she was sixteen to get her license because
she wanted to.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
I had to wait and say, with all the other
kids in school, you didn't.
Speaker 5 (15:05):
Even take a test, that's right, but Sylvia got to
do it a whole year.
Speaker 7 (15:08):
Earth Oh, Sylvia, damn it, Sylvia. I know that's just
nice because, like I.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Mean, I'm obviously multi generational Americans. So I've heard different
versions of stories about like your were your parents one
of the Philippines. Yes, So I've heard different versions of
stories about people who immigrated here and then first generation
kids because it's like some of them they bought into
the materialism, because it's like they wanted their kids to
(15:34):
fit in, Yes, and they and they didn't. They didn't
like even though they didn't have it, they went out
of their way to make sure you had it kind
of thing. And then I've also heard along those lines
about first generation kids who their parents didn't want them
to learn their culture because they wanted them to be
American because they wanted them to fit in, like they
don't know the language or they don't and it was
(15:54):
almost like, don't worry about that, like I want you
to do this because I want you to be or whatever.
But then I've also heard the other way around, where
it's like, no, we grew up with nothing, I'm not
doing this, like I can't keep up with this stuff,
you know what I mean, Like you get one backpack,
you get one marriagues, just like I did.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
You know. So I've heard it go both ways.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
When your parents were kind of the former, right, they
were like, yeah, they wanted you to have it all.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
Because right, yeah, keep up with the Joneses and you know,
be americanized as first generation in America. So yeah, I
mean it's very humbling, Like for the first time when
I went back to the Philippines to see where my
parents actually.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Live, Oh, that's always and I was just like wow,
like they made.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
It from this and now we live, you know, in
America and all this stuff, so it's pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
And yeah, so that's.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Always interesting to me though, when it's like you want
to learn about your heritage and they don't necessarily it's
not that they don't want you to know, but it's
like I want you to focus on being like everybody else.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
You fit in. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (16:47):
I used to judge people for that because I was like,
how do you not teach your kids or culture right
or the language or whatever. But I think the assimilation
of coming to America for a lot of people was
like I got to fit in. You don't speak that language,
they don't even know where we're from. They shouldn't even
know where you came from. Like that's sometimes how it is.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
But what's funny then is as adults, I think you've
experienced this, you almost become and I want to put
words in your mouth. You can tell me I'm wrong,
but you almost become resentful because I wish I knew
how to speak Spanish. I wish I knew how to
speak Polish. And I wish you'd done all this with
me growing up, because I would have retained it, and
now I want that knowledge. Like I don't know if
you feel that way at all, Like do you wish
you could speak yeah, other the different langledge. Do you
(17:24):
wish you had like a better understanding of your heritage?
I mean it's almost like I wish as much as you.
The kids I know who went through all that resented it.
Then now you're growing up and you're like, like, I
even stories about my about my family. I didn't ask
anybody any questions about anybody else because I was too
focused on being a kid or being me or whatever.
And now everybody's gone and I can't ask him these
(17:44):
questions anymore. And I'm growing up, but I desperately want
to know so many things that I'll never know because
and I don't think they wanted me to know, because
you know, now, it was about me. It wasn't about them,
if any of that makes sense, and it's something that
Jason and I we don't know anything about. Nope, was
your mom like you can have whatever you want because
you were an only child.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
So it was like that.
Speaker 9 (18:03):
So they did a lot of the same, like, oh,
you know, I could only wear polos at Catholic school, right,
so like but you had to have the Abercrombie or
the American Eagle or like whatever Hollister polo. So my
closet was just full of those, right, So it was
very or I had have a certain everyone wore a
certain type of shoes, so it was more like like
like you like keeping up with yeah, you know what
(18:24):
other people were doing, but.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
It was it was impossible. Like there were just always
kids that out of their parents would buy them whatever, right,
Oh yeah, and it was mostly out of guild, Kaylin,
did you have whatever you wanted?
Speaker 6 (18:34):
My mom was a single mom, so not from her necessarily,
but my grandma spoiled me a little bit. You know,
I was her only grandchild, so she would be kind
of like your mom, like if I talked about somebody
having something else, I don't. It was really important for
her to get it for me, just because she grew
up poor.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
But yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (18:52):
I mean the glitter, the jelly pens, you know, the
nineties girls stuff.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Well, then, for the brief time that we were going
back and forth with beween, my mom and my birth father,
you know, you'd play them off each other too. Was
it was one of the only good things about divorced
parents was that, you know, there were two Christmases and
then anything that he wouldn't buy me, she would, and
anything she wouldn't buy me, he definitely would. Because anything
to piss her off, so it would be like, yeah,
I want a machine gun.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Let's go, you know, but.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Yeah, you got whatever you wanted.
Speaker 7 (19:22):
I suppose.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
I mean I'd come home from the weekend.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
My mom would let me see your bag and a
big a sling shot and they're may give me this,
like you can't have that, like like lighters called buttle
of booze.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Give me that.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
You can't have that? Like all right, we can go
back to real life now. It is National caneine Lymphoma
Awareness and national Men Make Dinner Day Today, Men make dinner.
Get you some these meals. Hobby Jason does that every day.
Get you some these meals. You look like a champion,
you know, just put it together. And then it's like, look,
(19:54):
I made you jumba. It's like you did, and I did.
It was so hard. You get a bunch of other
pans out too, and make them dirty and like get
all sweaty with an apron.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
It's like, oh my god, it was so hard. It
only took me ten minutes. The Entertainment Reports
Show. This is what's trending.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
There was an election. I'm not sure if you're familiar
with that. It took place. It's over now. Vice President
Kamala Harris encouraged her voters to keep fighting as she
delivered her concession speech from Howard University yesterday. Nevada and
Arizona were called for Trump last night. He finishes with
three hundred and twelve electoral votes, the most for a
Republican presidential candidate since nineteen eighty eight. You heard of
a guy named Garfield. Garf, You're a guy named ma
(00:24):
Grover Grover. I was like those, Well there's Garfield. Who's Cleveland?
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Girl?
Speaker 2 (00:29):
That Grover Garfield? Isn't there a president named Garfield? Cat
the caid Garfield isn't there? It's living like fifty seven?
I thought there was a historical figure named Garfield.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Yeah, do you know what president we're on? No, we're
on forty seven hundred. Oh, James A.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Garfield. I knew it was a guard president.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Seven And you think Garfield was fifty seven? Girl, I
don't know the president's like that. I got to go
talk to your school?
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Was Chester A Arthur? Here? You go names the names
back then word elite. They really were.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
I knew there was a Garfield involved, but Grover was
the guy I was thinking of Overland. I don't know
if you know about this, but he was the only
other president to win non consecutive terms.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
I don't know if you guys knew about that.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
James Garfield, he was assassinated eighty one.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
All right, well we lost Rufio. Now he's off in
presidential history land. By the way, Kiki, somebody texted, and again,
I don't think you should do this. I don't think
this is a good idea. But somebody said, I have
a life hack for Kiki. Next time, just take a
luminum foil, wrap all the food in it, and then
use the iron to heat it. You don't don't do
not use the iron for anything other than iron for
(01:44):
many reasons.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Noted Sanato.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
How was they gonna charge you for a little bit
of foil?
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Where are you going to get that from?
Speaker 5 (01:49):
I asked the restaurant, take my food home, a little
piece of foil in there.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Chef's gonna come up there and say, is she running
a restaurant? Chefs for a micro she needs some sugar?
I mean, what is she making a cake? Like what's
going on Kiki Restaurant in room seventeen nineteen.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
You gotta pop up a right, see how's going on?
Speaker 2 (02:11):
The Nutmeg? Then? I just I love Nutmega? I mean,
what is going on? The Calm app scored big on
election night with a perfect silence ad.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
I didn't see this.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
I didn't see very many commercials because they were too
busy with their magic wall. But during the CNN and
ABC election coverage, the app ran an ad that was
simply thirty seconds of silence with words on the screen
explaining it. That led to a more than one hundred
spot jump in the app store. By offering a moment
of peace amid the chaos and skyrocketing stress, Calm nailed it.
They went a step further on Instagram Live. They created
(02:48):
a Calming corner by streaming penguins and meerkats at the
San Diego Zoo. One hundred and fifty thousand people tuned in.
There's Goodness World, I was pretty star. Also west Jet,
which is a big Canadian airline's as soon as it's
all went down, they posted like one way flights to
Canada or whatever and click here you can go if
you want to, and a whole bunch of celebrities, by
(03:09):
the way I read this morning, a whole bunch of
people who claim they were gonna who was it, Bette
Midler or somebody who was gonna drink bleach and somebody
else was going to do this. They've all deleted their
social media because it's like, well, I don't really want
to do that after all. So work trips take Americans
away from the polls on election day, right, But if
you didn't vote because you were traveling, or because you
(03:30):
weren't near the voting place, whatever reason, you have no excuse.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Do you want to know why?
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Because astronauts voted, Butch and Sunida cast their vote from space.
From space, NASA put together the Space Communication Navigation Program
for astronauts to board the International Space Station were able
to cast their votes virtually from space. So Butch, Sunita,
a guy named Don, a dude named Nick Nick Don Suoni.
(03:57):
And now Butch is kind of like an eighteen hundreds name.
But there ain't no There are no Chester. Well whatever
was it? Guy's name was Arthur? There ain't no And
that's another thing we should bring back. The a like
Steven A. Smith is onto something you call me Christopher G.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
I mean, lett's bring back the middle initial for everyone
who's not a lawyer. He ever even knows that's who.
Every lawyer, by the way, has to give you their
middle initial. Huh oh yeah, and why and every reeltor
has to put their picture onto everything.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
It's like what they they got a poet?
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Why why you got the best house? You got the
best price. I'm I'm Mombia. You know what I mean?
Are you? Are you already my good friend's realtor?
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Because that's how I'm going to hire you anyway, you
know what I mean, Like, I don't know, I am honestly,
Next time you need a realtor, who do you ask? Like?
Somebody else? Somebody else? Yeah, I don't even see what
you look like. Did you get a good deal or
the person nice to you? Okay, good, I'll hire them.
That's how that works. Anyway. They were able to post
their ballot. They filled out. An electric ballot was encrypted
them and uploaded through NASA's Tracking and Data Relay satellite
(04:58):
system to a groundhown and at White Sands in New Mexico.
From there, the ballot is forwarded via landline to Mission
Control in Houston, Michigan. Control then sends the ballot to
the astronaut's home county clerk. So the series of people,
I guess that them know who you voted for. I
don't know if you care. I mean, you're an astronaut,
you're in space. As we know the Fred Show constitution,
(05:19):
you give it up to real astronauts.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
So I don't know. Maybe it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Would you feel pressure to vote differently if you if
you if you knew somebody, if you were relaying your
vote to somebody else, who's.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Gonna get me down?
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:35):
If if one of you is considering defunding Mass, ye
get my vote. No, not from me, not this guy.
It's like we're thinking about a bunch of cuts up Massive. Nope,
but I vote for the other one. Then I need
to come home now. Raphael overperformed as made land I
(05:56):
love how we're just like hurricanes or just first name
basis now.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
It over formed as it made landfall in Cuba yesterday.
The storm was forecast to build to at least a
category two, but it actually hit western Cuba as a
Category three, collapse in the country's national electric grid and
leaving its ten million residents in the dark yet again.
The grid has suffered multiple collapses over the past two months,
and as of ten pm last night, the National Hurricane
(06:19):
Center said that Raphael had crossed over Cuba and entered
into the Gulf of Mexico. Now in a real word,
on what path it will take from there. I want
to tell you about a sad story this morning, but
it will lead. It will lead to something much happier
and potentially even nostalgic. But a guy named Murray McCrory,
who was then I guess, named Murray Platz. I don't
(06:41):
know why you change his name Murray A. Pltz or
just Murray Pltz.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Why can you talk about putting the initials back in
the middle name.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
I don't know if that's his middle name though, So
I don't know if that's right. I know.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
What about d You know what d though? D? But
you know about d? Yes?
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Yeah, I gotta get him to say d all right, Dah.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
You boy Dixon? Do you know anything about him?
Speaker 3 (07:22):
I know Dixon.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
He's got a microwave in his room.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
So this dude was a student at the University of Washington,
and he entered a contest sponsored by an aluminum maker
to create a new design. You'll see where this is
going for a lightweight metal aluminum. He won a backpack
design which was easier for outdoor adventurers to use in
wood frame ones that they were using at the time.
That is where the company Jan Sport. Our friend Murray
(07:51):
McCrory invented Jan Sport and he passed away recently at
the age of eighty, was created and branded as the
high school backpack. Did not everyone in this room had
a Chance Sport backpack at one point and every single
one of us did you, I'm sure you did so
on the top it it's like the backpack. I didn't
(08:13):
have the most standard backpack of all. You didn't have
a Jam Sport.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
So Jason did they allow carried around with you? Oh
see what?
Speaker 2 (08:26):
But like I remember, you had to have There was
just this stuff you had to have. And I'm sure
it matters which generation, in which generation you were you
were going to school, but I mean Jan Sport was
pretty standard. You know, you had to have Jan Sport.
But like what what you guys remember was the thing
you had to have, Like it had to be the
name brand, Like you couldn't have like Frank you.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Think about that way, Cookie at is what you marry
Becaus And Frank wanted a lot of things. I love
poor girl.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
I'm so sorry.
Speaker 5 (09:08):
I'm so sorry.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
And Frank, she just wanted peace.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
She would in her house. Ye, she meets Frank.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
With the with the dolphins and the dolls.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Everybody had audio.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Please, I want to take the rest of the week.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
God, so sorry.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Oh Lisa, Yeah, Sean Vaughan went to school with Lisa Frank.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
What did Lisa Frank have? What was Lisa Frank everything?
Speaker 5 (09:39):
Man folders, hands with markers. What are those the carry cakes?
Did you carry your markers in?
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Yeah? That girl I'm familiar with and Frank's body of work.
Speaker 6 (09:51):
Like like Lisa very trip.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
When your parents first time?
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Was that mom for me?
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Okay, now you show it to me, I said, okay, yeah,
I want to. But you had to have Nike shoes.
Speaker 7 (10:06):
You had to have like north Face was a big one.
Okay when I was a young, starter was one. But
like you know, and then I don't know, like you're
still dying over here, I am, And you said it
was just so much confidence, like you.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Know, what did miss a beat? That's what she just
had to have and Frank.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
Yeah, I'm just gonna go ahead and shut up now.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
I think you should.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
You're in a role. I think you should definitely not
stop talking. Yeah, someone just texted you said that with
your chest.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
I said that you.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Were absolutely so proud of that contribution.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
And Frank, everybody's gonna understand what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
I feel I feel like you would be the guy
that was probably the most like attuned to the brands
that you had to have because you I remember you
were talking about your mom and how she made sure
you always had that stuff.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Yeah, I mean you always had to have the good stuff. Yeah,
trapper Keeper was for sure.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
I still know that is it was a trapper keeper.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
It held all the hold Okay.
Speaker 7 (11:13):
Oh yeah, I see it wrapped around like it's very specific.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Yeah, got it.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Yeah, it's really cool if you walked around with that.
Yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
Using the word and the explanation, definition said trapper.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Keeping me mead five star notebooks.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Like they had like the plastic yes over the top
of her like that was. And it had like little folders.
Speaker 6 (11:37):
Oh that was a big We wanted to have those
like jelly milky pens that you could draw on your body.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
An I was going to.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Say, but the markers that had the smell markers remember those,
oh oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Yeah, and it came in a styrofog yeah twenty something,
the even bigger one with the sharpener in it.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Yes. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
See my mom I went to like a boogie school,
and we were My parents worked really hard. We had
a lot of things, but we weren't quite as boogie
because a lot of a lot of the material items
that the kids at the school I went to had
were like guilt items because their parents were like rich
and never around or or like doing coke or you know,
in rehab or something. So like they just had like
(12:21):
unlimited spending. So like I mean, it was impossible to
keep up with certain kids. Like certain kids had every
if it was brand new, they had it before, like
they had where'd.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
You get that? Like, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
My friend, my dad knows, the guy from Nike, he knows,
you know, whatever.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Whatever, it just comes over and frien collections.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
They always I don't know how they had it.
Speaker 6 (12:42):
Amsterdam had the one diary one I knew.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
A guy who had the actual diary was weird. I
don't know why he was carrying it around. It was
very strange. Fine, my god, she meant it, but like
my mom, so I wouldn't do all that. You know,
she'd buy me like parents, like nice pair of shoes
per season, and like whatever I needed. But in the
beginning of the year she'd stock me up, but like,
(13:07):
she wasn't in it. I wouldn't if I came home,
if she had to buy me everything to keep up
with everybody else, we'd be at the store every day.
But what really got her going is if certain kids
got stuff that she didn't like, Like if she didn't
like their parents, there was no way that that kid
was going to have something that I didn't have, And
so I would I would pray on that. You know,
I'd be like, well, well Todd got whatever, all right,
(13:30):
Todd by the way, Yeah, but you know Todd got
is that right? Let's go certain stuff that like n uh,
you know, like these kids whatever, we can't keep up
with them that his parents bottom one, Okay, all right,
let's go to target, you know, or whatever. I don't
know why if she was triggered by certain people.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
What about you?
Speaker 2 (13:52):
What do you remember what do you remember having to
have when you were growing up and I would love
to hear your you try and convince your mother about it.
All these material items that you needed, yeah, had come
from poland.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
There was no convincing.
Speaker 8 (14:04):
My mother said, I was I was lucky to even
you know, be here type thing like that was yeah,
I didn't get anything really special, but I don't know.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
I think for me it was like kse Swiss was
like a big brand.
Speaker 8 (14:13):
We had to have ky Swiss, but she always took
me to pay Less and it was always like by
one get one half off or something about.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
One get one free. So I thought the bootleg shoes
and like I hated that.
Speaker 8 (14:22):
So when I got a little older, I would like
take my allowance money or whatever I was working in.
I was sixteen or fifteen, so I was like, I'm gonna,
you know, buy Casewisz.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
North Face is a big one.
Speaker 8 (14:31):
But it's really funny you say that because my mom
with me would not like purchase anything. Like if I
asked her, hy can I get this? Can I get that?
I was not allowed to have. And Frank Lisa Frank
whoever Frank I was half any of hers trust Lisa.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
I had to do a Walmart. I had to do
the Walmart brands. I was so upset.
Speaker 8 (14:46):
But my sister, on the other hand, asked her about
her experience.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Sylvia got with Sylvia wanted I was always younger Sylvia.
Speaker 8 (14:57):
My favorite one is that she got to go to
driving school she was sixteen to get her license because
she wanted to.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
I had to wait and say, with all the other
kids in school, you didn't.
Speaker 5 (15:05):
Even take a test, that's right, but Sylvia got to
do it a whole year.
Speaker 7 (15:08):
Earth Oh, Sylvia, damn it, Sylvia. I know that's just
nice because, like I.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Mean, I'm obviously multi generational Americans. So I've heard different
versions of stories about like your were your parents one
of the Philippines. Yes, So I've heard different versions of
stories about people who immigrated here and then first generation
kids because it's like some of them they bought into
the materialism, because it's like they wanted their kids to
(15:34):
fit in, Yes, and they and they didn't. They didn't
like even though they didn't have it, they went out
of their way to make sure you had it kind
of thing. And then I've also heard along those lines
about first generation kids who their parents didn't want them
to learn their culture because they wanted them to be
American because they wanted them to fit in, like they
don't know the language or they don't and it was
(15:54):
almost like, don't worry about that, like I want you
to do this because I want you to be or whatever.
But then I've also heard the other way around, where
it's like, no, we grew up with nothing, I'm not
doing this, like I can't keep up with this stuff,
you know what I mean, Like you get one backpack,
you get one marriagues, just like I did.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
You know. So I've heard it go both ways.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
When your parents were kind of the former, right, they
were like, yeah, they wanted you to have it all.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
Because right, yeah, keep up with the Joneses and you know,
be americanized as first generation in America. So yeah, I
mean it's very humbling, Like for the first time when
I went back to the Philippines to see where my
parents actually.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Live, Oh, that's always and I was just like wow,
like they made.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
It from this and now we live, you know, in
America and all this stuff, so it's pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
And yeah, so that's.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Always interesting to me though, when it's like you want
to learn about your heritage and they don't necessarily it's
not that they don't want you to know, but it's
like I want you to focus on being like everybody else.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
You fit in. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (16:47):
I used to judge people for that because I was like,
how do you not teach your kids or culture right
or the language or whatever. But I think the assimilation
of coming to America for a lot of people was
like I got to fit in. You don't speak that language,
they don't even know where we're from. They shouldn't even
know where you came from. Like that's sometimes how it is.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
But what's funny then is as adults, I think you've
experienced this, you almost become and I want to put
words in your mouth. You can tell me I'm wrong,
but you almost become resentful because I wish I knew
how to speak Spanish. I wish I knew how to
speak Polish. And I wish you'd done all this with
me growing up, because I would have retained it, and
now I want that knowledge. Like I don't know if
you feel that way at all, Like do you wish
you could speak yeah, other the different langledge. Do you
(17:24):
wish you had like a better understanding of your heritage?
I mean it's almost like I wish as much as you.
The kids I know who went through all that resented it.
Then now you're growing up and you're like, like, I
even stories about my about my family. I didn't ask
anybody any questions about anybody else because I was too
focused on being a kid or being me or whatever.
And now everybody's gone and I can't ask him these
(17:44):
questions anymore. And I'm growing up, but I desperately want
to know so many things that I'll never know because
and I don't think they wanted me to know, because
you know, now, it was about me. It wasn't about them,
if any of that makes sense, and it's something that
Jason and I we don't know anything about. Nope, was
your mom like you can have whatever you want because
you were an only child.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
So it was like that.
Speaker 9 (18:03):
So they did a lot of the same, like, oh,
you know, I could only wear polos at Catholic school, right,
so like but you had to have the Abercrombie or
the American Eagle or like whatever Hollister polo. So my
closet was just full of those, right, So it was
very or I had have a certain everyone wore a
certain type of shoes, so it was more like like
like you like keeping up with yeah, you know what
(18:24):
other people were doing, but.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
It was it was impossible. Like there were just always
kids that out of their parents would buy them whatever, right,
Oh yeah, and it was mostly out of guild, Kaylin,
did you have whatever you wanted?
Speaker 6 (18:34):
My mom was a single mom, so not from her necessarily,
but my grandma spoiled me a little bit. You know,
I was her only grandchild, so she would be kind
of like your mom, like if I talked about somebody
having something else, I don't. It was really important for
her to get it for me, just because she grew
up poor.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
But yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (18:52):
I mean the glitter, the jelly pens, you know, the
nineties girls stuff.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Well, then, for the brief time that we were going
back and forth with beween, my mom and my birth father,
you know, you'd play them off each other too. Was
it was one of the only good things about divorced
parents was that, you know, there were two Christmases and
then anything that he wouldn't buy me, she would, and
anything she wouldn't buy me, he definitely would. Because anything
to piss her off, so it would be like, yeah,
I want a machine gun.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Let's go, you know, but.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Yeah, you got whatever you wanted.
Speaker 7 (19:22):
I suppose.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
I mean I'd come home from the weekend.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
My mom would let me see your bag and a
big a sling shot and they're may give me this,
like you can't have that, like like lighters called buttle
of booze.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Give me that.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
You can't have that? Like all right, we can go
back to real life now. It is National caneine Lymphoma
Awareness and national Men Make Dinner Day Today, Men make dinner.
Get you some these meals. Hobby Jason does that every day.
Get you some these meals. You look like a champion,
you know, just put it together. And then it's like, look,
(19:54):
I made you jumba. It's like you did, and I did.
It was so hard. You get a bunch of other
pans out too, and make them dirty and like get
all sweaty with an apron.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
It's like, oh my god, it was so hard. It
only took me ten minutes. The Entertainment Reports
