Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is what's trending.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Okay, you guys, The Mega Millions Jackpod has climbed to
an estimated eight hundred and twenty five million dollars, the
seventh largest brize in the game's history. And let's see
tomorrow night is when you can win. I'm not going
to tell you the odds. They're really not very good.
But I believe I think this might be it. And
(00:25):
I'm taking a moment for myself to think about. No,
I had to, I had to cough, but I uh,
I think this might be it. I think this might
be it. I think this is the number eight twenty
five split in half around four hundred million. After everything.
I'm not greedy, you know. I think that's it. I
can live on that. I can work with that. I
can break up a little bit for you guys. We
could be done with this. We don't have to do
(00:47):
this three thirty am thing anymore. We don't have to.
In fact, the show won't end. Well, It'll just be
whenever we feel like doing it. You'll just have to
tune in all day to see when we show up
kind of thing. But I can promise you it won't
be at five am. I can promise you that. But
I think this is it, guys, I think this is
in my bones. I feel it now. It would help
if I bought a ticket, Yeah, and I tend I
(01:08):
tend to not, but it helps to buy a ticket
to win. But I think that tomorrow night's going to
be the night and you're not gonna hear from me
for two weeks after this, and that has nothing to
do with Christmas. Well, and the other thing is, if
I win, I'm not telling anybody till after Christmas because
they're going to expect much better gifts and I won't
have the money yet. So, like, can you imagine if
(01:31):
everybody in your life knew that you would come into
hundreds of millions of dollars, The automatic expectation is going
to be that everything that you do for everybody else
is going to be like you want You can't just
buy somebody duncan for breakfast, you know, in the morning coffee.
They're going to be like, no, I want it forever now,
because you're worth four hundred million dollars on a duncan
like a hall story right myself, right yeah, Because you
(01:53):
got people like Rufio out here, It's like, well, that
guy's worth four hundred million dollars.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
There's two dollars coffee. I don't know three dollars comp
What are you talking about?
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Like?
Speaker 1 (01:59):
No?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Oh yeah, right, like I need you to construct a duncan.
I need you to construct a McDonald's in my driveway
for only me to use. But yeah, so it's eight
hundred and twenty five million mega millions tomorrow night.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Kaylan, Yes, sir, if you were no, We've.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Done this so many times that at this point that
I would think it would just be smooth as silk.
But Kaylan has lottery purchasing anxiety. If you've been listening
for any period of time, you know this. And when
these big jackpots come around, we do a public service
where we practice how you're going to secure the bag.
So once again, I'm working in a bodega, which is
(02:39):
where i'll be when they eventually fire me. So it's
not all that far fetched.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Okay, Yeah, I live by a lot of bodego's.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Okay, Hi, Fred, how are you today?
Speaker 1 (02:49):
I'm not great.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I just got fired from my lucrative job and I'm
working in this bodega.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
But what what do you want?
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (02:56):
I'm sorry you don't like this rope play. No, I
don't because that means I also lost my job. So
I really need a I need a mega million's ticket.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Okay. I would like.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
The computer to decide for me, and I want like,
I'm gonna hand you cash and you give me however
much I can get for that. But I want the multipliers.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Yes, with those such a complicated transaction.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
No, friend, come on, I need my tickets.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
That's my first day. I don't know how to do
any of this.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
So oh sorry, is there a manager?
Speaker 1 (03:35):
I am the manager?
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Oh okay, I've always wanted to say that I am
the manager.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Well, it never worked.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
When I was sixteen years old working at Blockbuster, nobody
ever believed me, and they'd be like, I want to
speak to the manager, and I'd be, well, I am
the manager.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Make this impossible. You don't have a driver's license. Well,
it's true, but.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
It's really scary.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Like one of my friends said she drove up to
the store, sat in her car, and turned right around
because she couldn't.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Work up the current.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
I feel like if you walk in there and you
just kind of hand them a twenty, they just sort
of know what to do, especially like the day before
or the day of a big jackpot. Yeah, I mean
I saw somebody buy one on Tuesday, I guess was
the last drawing, and the lady just said, just give
me quick pick and just handed money. And then they
just handed their tickets and she walked out. There was
no they didn't have to debate it. You know, they
(04:20):
didn't have to get into the nitty gritty about you
know how you didn't have to warm them up first. No, no,
no pleasantries. You know, it's just give me the ticket.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
With my luck, they would just give me like a
scratch off. It would be the wrong one.
Speaker 5 (04:32):
Oh, you just say, I want ten dollars in the
ten dollars quick pick in the mega millions.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
But isn't a quick isn't a multiplier like a dollar more.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
It's the only thing you would have to specify is
if like, hey, can I get ten dollars or whatever?
Can I get see with the multiplier that's the only
that's the only dollars.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
With the multiple, And then you can't it's uneven.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
Right, then you'd have to have more money than ten
dollars because it's it's like a dollar per line.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
And I can't even imagine Rufiel's reaction if you were
to somehow win without the multiplayer.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Oh my god, Oh my god. And where who has cash?
Like where do I get cash?
Speaker 5 (05:02):
Yeah, yeah, that's also now that's a great question, but
not a lot of the new Like if you go
to whatever, they have those machines where you get the
scratch offs. Now they're starting to do them with with
the Megamillia tickets and they'll take credit.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
To do eat.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
What do we trust a machine?
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Yeah, that looks well.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
People play online on the you could do it on
the app too, But I'd like to know has anybody
ever won on the app. I'd like to know, because
I don't think they have. I don't think it might
be all bs on the app. I need the physical
ticket to believe that I really did something. By the way,
the other day, guys, I went into this place. This
was crazy. It's around the corner from our office. This
is wild. It's called a bank and yeah no, Like
(05:44):
I walked in there was nobody else in there, so
I was like, I don't know if I'm in the
right place. The ratio of employees to people was about
forty two to one. I felt very wanted when I
walked in there. But it's crazy. They got people there,
they got money and drawers they can like there's paper
and stuff that you fill out with numbers on it.
It was it was well because I I don't know
(06:05):
I had. I had to deposit a check and that
was only when I could do it for some reason,
I don't know. This is a crazy experience. I spoke
to a person, I handed them a thing, and then
I was crazy. I don't even you guys should check
it out sometimes.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Don't get me.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Started on the time I had to get a check.
I did not know how to do that. But you
don't deposit checks on your app, I like have never
done it at a bank.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Really. It's a long story.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
But there's only so much per month you're allowed to
use the app for and I just I just I
sold something and bought something, so I had shit anyway,
So for no, I looked like.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Over there, yeah no, but you know what it is.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
I looked rich for about twenty four hours because it's
one of those things where like the money came in
and I was like, oh sweet, but then they hadn't
taken the money out yet, you know, so like for
twenty four hours. I'm like, I was flush, and then
of course that all changed. But I had to go
in there and it had been a while, and they
were asking me for crazy information like account numbers and
social Security and the app. I guess there's only so
(07:00):
much that you can do on the app before you
have to go to the bank. And I did and
it was just crazy. Was a very stressful experience and
very nice people there. Though in the bank, I had
to go to a bank and deposit like a check.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
I've never had to do that.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
No, I've all in your entire life.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
In my entire life, I have never had to do that.
I've been able to do it on the app for
as long as I've gotten checks.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
I was called Shelly Show by Shelley only uses the
bank and checks, and I was calling her trying to
get her on the phone and trying to get I
felt like you buying a mega millions ticket.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
It was very confusing, stressful.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
I've never experienced using a pen chain to a desk
before a while.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
I remember seeing that when going with my mom, but
like I don't, and like she would also go in
the drive through and like that tunnel which with the
freaking yeah, like.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah. Vacuum the vacuum.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Thing we were always in that drive through Like.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
There's actually a taco bell that does that, that uses
that system.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
I can't possibly work well, my tacos are going to
get broken in that thing.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
There's no way to talk about the uses that that
right through system like that.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
More people don't know this.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Where is this?
Speaker 1 (08:02):
I don't know. I have to look it up, but
there I talk about that?
Speaker 5 (08:04):
Does that?
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Wo wow? Guys? Chili.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Temperatures and forecasts for the East Coast for the holiday.
I know the places that listen to us primarily are
it's going to be cold. Forecasters are telling holiday travelers
in the eastern US to prepare for freezing weather the
days ahead. One hundred and twenty million Americans is gonna
be traveling over the Christmas holidays, and if you're going east,
bundle up and be ready for potential travel delays.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
From Maine to South Carolina.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Starting on Saturday, the Midwest could get heavy snow from
a Canadian stormfront. Keep your Canadian stormfront up there, called
the Alberta clipper. Damn that sounds gangsta. While the Northeast
we'll see snow mixed with rain. The best chance for
snow on Christmas Eve will be in the northeast and
the northwestern states.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Kiki Yo.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
The Supreme Court has agreed to hear a challenge to
the TikTok band. I'm telling you guys, every day my
theory new president's going to make He's going to fix
all this, and this is all just deployed for him
to be more popular. And it's amazing how many people
with principles or you know, formerly with print they claim
(09:09):
they had principles or whatever. People who were anti our
new president are gonna be okay with him now because
they got TikTok.
Speaker 6 (09:18):
Yeah, I mean, what do you saying? The moros are
still there. There's nothing I can do about it. This
man is the president, so we might as well all
accept it, and we might as well keep TikTok while
we're at it. Bro.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
I mean, hey, all right, there it is there. Uh.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
TikTok's fight against the ban on platform on their platform continues.
The Supreme Court announced yesterday that it will hear arguments
on the company's challenge to the law that put a
January nineteenth deadline in place for the parent company by
dance to sell TikTok or see it ban in the US.
January tenth is when these arguments will be heard, and
so we'll see what happens. NASA has announced that it
(09:56):
will be delaying the SpaceX Crew ten launch and move
that will keep astronauts Butch and Sunny in space even longer.
What So they went up there in June, they pouted
the first crude test flight of Boeing Starliner spacecraft. Their
trip was supposed to last a week. Then they had
(10:18):
an issue with the spacecraft. They said, hey, it's too risky.
They did send that thing home empty and it was fine,
but they didn't know that and that's okay, you know,
let's let's go ahead and be cautious here as it
comes to you know, Butch and Sunny's life in romance.
But one week turned into well, June until February, so
eight months and now they're saying it'll be at least
(10:38):
another month because they need time to complete a processing
of a new Dragon spacecraft for the mission. So now
we're looking at nine months up there. So now we're
looking maybe March for a return for these guys. I mean,
they better, they better return to a parade. They need
stamps with their faces on.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
Maybe maybe they return into some divorce places.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
They're gonna They're gonna return to their entire families that
moved on. They have new dads now exactly. I feel
bad for these people though, And every time they put
them on TV, they're like, yeah, you know, this is
just part of it. No, I don't think it is.
I don't think one week turning into nine months is
part of it. Like I don't, I don't. I realize
you're going to a place that's not easy to get to,
(11:27):
but I guess I kind of expect I'm going to
come home when they tell me that I am.
Speaker 6 (11:31):
And they keep going up there. They keep like, they
keep sending stuff up there and bringing it back.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
They yeah, walking out there, coming back.
Speaker 6 (11:41):
But somehow Butcher's Sonny can't get on the ride back.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Right.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
No, it's wild because, uh, because Mario with five star rating,
he just delivered some Shakeshack up there and came home
and so and I don't know why they couldn't just
stick them in the car with him and just send
him back or whatever. And I'm not sure speaking of Shakeshack,
by the way, they receive the most complaints being overpriced,
followed by who would you guess? And I would agree
with this even though it's delicious. The second most complained
(12:05):
about UH fast food restaurant for being too expensive Chipotle
Chick five guys, Oh oh yeah, sure, yeah, it's like
thirty seven dollars for a burger and fried.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
It's good.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
I like it, and you can get like eighty seven
things on your burger if you want.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
But it's expensive.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
But five guys and then the Gordon Ramsey restaurants were
also complained about for being overpriced. Bluey and twenty twenty
four at the top of the streaming list, the most
streaming show through last month, even though it targets preschoolers
literally the most streaming show. And I learned from our
friend that the Llury Children's Hospital radio thought that Blue
(12:43):
is a girl.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
I didn't know that Blue was a girl.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
I thought Marshall and then it's blue and is it No,
it's Bluey and Bingo and I thought Bingo was a
boy and Bingo is also a girl.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Both Wow, wow, girl power.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Yeah, blooey. They're making a movie in like twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Oh good, I can't wait to watch that. We'll be
like three.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
I'm glad that I got I got laughed at by
a child on on the radio, but at least my
nieces won't laugh at me when I never make that
mistake in front of Polly, because Polly would. I mean,
I can't even imagine a little snarky look on her
face if I confuse that Bobby.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
He's not a boy. I can hear it.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Now, Bobby, and then in parentheses, you dumb ass, but
like that. You haven't to say that yet.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Now.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
I don't know how this happens, but this is messed
up trending this morning. The Charlotte Hornets, Oh yes, I
don't know what they were thinking.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
I don't know each man. And by the way, I
used to do so.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
I used to be an in game host for the
Charlotte Hornet slash Charlotte Bobcats. Never in my life when
I have agreed to this. But the Charlotte Hornets have
learned quickly that you do not give a kid a
toy and then take it away. The NBA team is
apologizing for dropping the ball during an on the court
giveaway when and the mascot HUGO. I believe this isad
it is dressed as Santa. Gave a kid a PlayStation
(14:08):
five during one of the timeouts during a Hornets game
NBA game. A friend later posted on social media that
they took the gaming console away when the cameras were
turned off and gave the kid a jersey instead and
said like, no, you don't really get this, but here's this.
Have a nice day, and they left with the PlayStation five.
There was a big miscommunication about the quote unquote stunt,
(14:30):
says the team, and after a ton of negative press,
the organization issued an apology, gave the PS five to
the kid and said that he'll also get a VIP
experience at a game.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
But like, whose idea was that? I got it? You guys.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
We're gonna give the kid a toy, a really cool toy,
and we're a multi billion dollar organization, and then we're
gonna take it away later when no one's watching.
Speaker 5 (14:53):
Right, Like I watched it, like at the stunt, Like
I don't know what the stunt was. They just gave
a PS five on the court and then was it.
There was no like they didn't take it away on
the court, like it was supposed to be a joke.
Like I don't know where the stunt was in this
hole skit.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
I just I can only imagine the writer's room on
that one, A bunch of people sitting around the table.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
I got it. Guys. Here's what we're gonna do.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
We're gonna we're gonna make this kid's Christmas, all right,
and then we're gonna take it all away.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Sound good? Great? All right? Do it? Guys?
Speaker 2 (15:19):
I mean, what what are you doing? And finally, and
this is a little nostalgic for me. It brings back
a lot of memories. But same remember Sam Goody. Does
anyone in there remember Sam Goody? Yeah, it's only I
think it's only the old people, those of us over forty.
But Sam Goody the music at entertainment retail, and it
was in all the malls in the two thousands. We'll
close its remaining two brick and mortar stores, at the
(15:42):
Ohio Valley Mall in Ohio and the Rogue Valley Mall
in Medford, Oregon. It's not clear which one will be
the last one standing, but the Ohio location opened in
nineteen eighty expected to close sometime in February. A long
time store manager says the Internet reduced demand for albums
and movies that you could hold into your hands. At
one point, Sam Goody had a thirteen hundred locations across
(16:04):
the country was down to three hundred and twenty and
nineteen ninety Sam Goody Goodowitz was the founder. And it's
going away now, so like like Blockbuster that only has
the one store left in Bend Orgon whoever that is?
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Yeah, no, Sa good too. I heard that Blockbuster was
gonna close. Really yeah, the Bend organ One. I don't
even know how they have enough stuff to rent people?
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Can you can you? Can you get movie like DVDs?
Like can you are all the new movies coming out
in dv if it's on Netflix or whatever, it's not
coming out DVD?
Speaker 1 (16:35):
So what is there to rent? You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Right, anyway, Sam Goodie man that was.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
I can remember the saturdays my parents when we were like,
didn't have driver's licenses, we were young. Parents would drop
us off at the mall, like three or four dudes
would meet up with three or four girls and we'd
walk around and look at ss up that we couldn't
buy and we didn't have any money. And Sam Goody
was one of the stories. We'd go into Spencer's was
another one.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
And by the way, kids, this is a place the mall. Okay,
so let me tell you first of all, I'm gonna
blow your mind this morning. First I told you about
a bank. Now I'm gonna tell you about a place
called a mall. And it's a big building they used
to have with a bunch of stores. It was almost
like a bunch of websites, but it was hit one
building and you could walk in and you could walk
in there, you could grab the item, buy it, and
(17:18):
you could take it with you right then and there.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
It's crazy.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
I love them all.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Still a food court, I love them all. If you
could find one.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Yeah, no, yeah, they're around.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Hardly, but yeah, anyway, and they don't have any stories
loft because somebody's closing. It's National Regifting Day today, so
shout out to and how can it be National Regifting
Day on December nineteenth when I haven't been given anything yet?
Know what regifting Day be on the twenty seventh or
something after I already got everything, went through it and
decided I didn't want it.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Return day Right now, I'm assuming that you're regifting stuff
you already have for Christmas.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Right, Well, my mom has this little stack in her
house right now of like yesterday, is this box of
fancy chocolate caramel things or whatever, and I grabbed it
from her. I'm like, I'm gonna eat this. She is no, No,
I'm like, why I'm regifting that. So I didn't realize
we have a regifting corner. Oh, I love and it's
like that kind of stuff that she doesn't like. And
(18:16):
then but but she keeps it there in case someone
shows up to the house exactly with a gift, justin
so she has like a little stash there that no
one's supposed to touch. And it's very smart actually, But
like if somebody, if a neighbor knocks out the door
with like you know, a fruit basket or something, and
she doesn't have anything because she doesn't like that neighbor,
then she can all of a sudden go grab the
chocolates and be like, I got these for you exactly.
(18:37):
So I think that's smart. But yeah, we have a
regifting corner in the house, and I had to make
sure I don't consume.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Any of it.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Yeah, it says it's about giving others gifts that you
don't have any use for. And making sure that almost
anyone can have a good holiday spirit.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Also tip make sure you remember who gave you what
that you're regifting, because you know, the worst thing you
could do is regift something to someone who gave it
to you. I've heard of it happening.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Yeah, don't write names on, like on actual gifts. Like
I have a friend who will write on like a
wine bottle. It's like, no, honey, like I might want
to bring this to a party or something, you know.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
All right, right, yeah, don't do that. Uhh now the
Entertamber of Fort. We'll do it next thing in two minutes.
On The Freend Show,
This is what's trending.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Okay, you guys, The Mega Millions Jackpod has climbed to
an estimated eight hundred and twenty five million dollars, the
seventh largest brize in the game's history. And let's see
tomorrow night is when you can win. I'm not going
to tell you the odds. They're really not very good.
But I believe I think this might be it. And
(00:25):
I'm taking a moment for myself to think about. No,
I had to, I had to cough, but I uh,
I think this might be it. I think this might
be it. I think this is the number eight twenty
five split in half around four hundred million. After everything.
I'm not greedy, you know. I think that's it. I
can live on that. I can work with that. I
can break up a little bit for you guys. We
could be done with this. We don't have to do
(00:47):
this three thirty am thing anymore. We don't have to.
In fact, the show won't end. Well, It'll just be
whenever we feel like doing it. You'll just have to
tune in all day to see when we show up
kind of thing. But I can promise you it won't
be at five am. I can promise you that. But
I think this is it, guys, I think this is
in my bones. I feel it now. It would help
if I bought a ticket, Yeah, and I tend I
(01:08):
tend to not, but it helps to buy a ticket
to win. But I think that tomorrow night's going to
be the night and you're not gonna hear from me
for two weeks after this, and that has nothing to
do with Christmas. Well, and the other thing is, if
I win, I'm not telling anybody till after Christmas because
they're going to expect much better gifts and I won't
have the money yet. So, like, can you imagine if
(01:31):
everybody in your life knew that you would come into
hundreds of millions of dollars, The automatic expectation is going
to be that everything that you do for everybody else
is going to be like you want You can't just
buy somebody duncan for breakfast, you know, in the morning coffee.
They're going to be like, no, I want it forever now,
because you're worth four hundred million dollars on a duncan
like a hall story right myself, right yeah, Because you
(01:53):
got people like Rufio out here, It's like, well, that
guy's worth four hundred million dollars.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
There's two dollars coffee. I don't know three dollars comp
What are you talking about?
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Like?
Speaker 1 (01:59):
No?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Oh yeah, right, like I need you to construct a duncan.
I need you to construct a McDonald's in my driveway
for only me to use. But yeah, so it's eight
hundred and twenty five million mega millions tomorrow night.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Kaylan, Yes, sir, if you were no, We've.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Done this so many times that at this point that
I would think it would just be smooth as silk.
But Kaylan has lottery purchasing anxiety. If you've been listening
for any period of time, you know this. And when
these big jackpots come around, we do a public service
where we practice how you're going to secure the bag.
So once again, I'm working in a bodega, which is
(02:39):
where i'll be when they eventually fire me. So it's
not all that far fetched.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Okay, Yeah, I live by a lot of bodego's.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Okay, Hi, Fred, how are you today?
Speaker 1 (02:49):
I'm not great.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I just got fired from my lucrative job and I'm
working in this bodega.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
But what what do you want?
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (02:56):
I'm sorry you don't like this rope play. No, I
don't because that means I also lost my job. So
I really need a I need a mega million's ticket.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Okay. I would like.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
The computer to decide for me, and I want like,
I'm gonna hand you cash and you give me however
much I can get for that. But I want the multipliers.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Yes, with those such a complicated transaction.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
No, friend, come on, I need my tickets.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
That's my first day. I don't know how to do
any of this.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
So oh sorry, is there a manager?
Speaker 1 (03:35):
I am the manager?
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Oh okay, I've always wanted to say that I am
the manager.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Well, it never worked.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
When I was sixteen years old working at Blockbuster, nobody
ever believed me, and they'd be like, I want to
speak to the manager, and I'd be, well, I am
the manager.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Make this impossible. You don't have a driver's license. Well,
it's true, but.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
It's really scary.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Like one of my friends said she drove up to
the store, sat in her car, and turned right around
because she couldn't.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Work up the current.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
I feel like if you walk in there and you
just kind of hand them a twenty, they just sort
of know what to do, especially like the day before
or the day of a big jackpot. Yeah, I mean
I saw somebody buy one on Tuesday, I guess was
the last drawing, and the lady just said, just give
me quick pick and just handed money. And then they
just handed their tickets and she walked out. There was
no they didn't have to debate it. You know, they
(04:20):
didn't have to get into the nitty gritty about you
know how you didn't have to warm them up first. No, no,
no pleasantries. You know, it's just give me the ticket.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
With my luck, they would just give me like a
scratch off. It would be the wrong one.
Speaker 5 (04:32):
Oh, you just say, I want ten dollars in the
ten dollars quick pick in the mega millions.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
But isn't a quick isn't a multiplier like a dollar more.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
It's the only thing you would have to specify is
if like, hey, can I get ten dollars or whatever?
Can I get see with the multiplier that's the only
that's the only dollars.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
With the multiple, And then you can't it's uneven.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
Right, then you'd have to have more money than ten
dollars because it's it's like a dollar per line.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
And I can't even imagine Rufiel's reaction if you were
to somehow win without the multiplayer.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Oh my god, Oh my god. And where who has cash?
Like where do I get cash?
Speaker 5 (05:02):
Yeah, yeah, that's also now that's a great question, but
not a lot of the new Like if you go
to whatever, they have those machines where you get the
scratch offs. Now they're starting to do them with with
the Megamillia tickets and they'll take credit.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
To do eat.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
What do we trust a machine?
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Yeah, that looks well.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
People play online on the you could do it on
the app too, But I'd like to know has anybody
ever won on the app. I'd like to know, because
I don't think they have. I don't think it might
be all bs on the app. I need the physical
ticket to believe that I really did something. By the way,
the other day, guys, I went into this place. This
was crazy. It's around the corner from our office. This
is wild. It's called a bank and yeah no, Like
(05:44):
I walked in there was nobody else in there, so
I was like, I don't know if I'm in the
right place. The ratio of employees to people was about
forty two to one. I felt very wanted when I
walked in there. But it's crazy. They got people there,
they got money and drawers they can like there's paper
and stuff that you fill out with numbers on it.
It was it was well because I I don't know
(06:05):
I had. I had to deposit a check and that
was only when I could do it for some reason,
I don't know. This is a crazy experience. I spoke
to a person, I handed them a thing, and then
I was crazy. I don't even you guys should check
it out sometimes.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Don't get me.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Started on the time I had to get a check.
I did not know how to do that. But you
don't deposit checks on your app, I like have never
done it at a bank.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Really. It's a long story.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
But there's only so much per month you're allowed to
use the app for and I just I just I
sold something and bought something, so I had shit anyway,
So for no, I looked like.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Over there, yeah no, but you know what it is.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
I looked rich for about twenty four hours because it's
one of those things where like the money came in
and I was like, oh sweet, but then they hadn't
taken the money out yet, you know, so like for
twenty four hours. I'm like, I was flush, and then
of course that all changed. But I had to go
in there and it had been a while, and they
were asking me for crazy information like account numbers and
social Security and the app. I guess there's only so
(07:00):
much that you can do on the app before you
have to go to the bank. And I did and
it was just crazy. Was a very stressful experience and
very nice people there. Though in the bank, I had
to go to a bank and deposit like a check.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
I've never had to do that.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
No, I've all in your entire life.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
In my entire life, I have never had to do that.
I've been able to do it on the app for
as long as I've gotten checks.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
I was called Shelly Show by Shelley only uses the
bank and checks, and I was calling her trying to
get her on the phone and trying to get I
felt like you buying a mega millions ticket.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
It was very confusing, stressful.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
I've never experienced using a pen chain to a desk
before a while.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
I remember seeing that when going with my mom, but
like I don't, and like she would also go in
the drive through and like that tunnel which with the
freaking yeah, like.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah. Vacuum the vacuum.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Thing we were always in that drive through Like.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
There's actually a taco bell that does that, that uses
that system.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
I can't possibly work well, my tacos are going to
get broken in that thing.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
There's no way to talk about the uses that that
right through system like that.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
More people don't know this.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Where is this?
Speaker 1 (08:02):
I don't know. I have to look it up, but
there I talk about that?
Speaker 5 (08:04):
Does that?
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Wo wow? Guys? Chili.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Temperatures and forecasts for the East Coast for the holiday.
I know the places that listen to us primarily are
it's going to be cold. Forecasters are telling holiday travelers
in the eastern US to prepare for freezing weather the
days ahead. One hundred and twenty million Americans is gonna
be traveling over the Christmas holidays, and if you're going east,
bundle up and be ready for potential travel delays.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
From Maine to South Carolina.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Starting on Saturday, the Midwest could get heavy snow from
a Canadian stormfront. Keep your Canadian stormfront up there, called
the Alberta clipper. Damn that sounds gangsta. While the Northeast
we'll see snow mixed with rain. The best chance for
snow on Christmas Eve will be in the northeast and
the northwestern states.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Kiki Yo.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
The Supreme Court has agreed to hear a challenge to
the TikTok band. I'm telling you guys, every day my
theory new president's going to make He's going to fix
all this, and this is all just deployed for him
to be more popular. And it's amazing how many people
with principles or you know, formerly with print they claim
(09:09):
they had principles or whatever. People who were anti our
new president are gonna be okay with him now because
they got TikTok.
Speaker 6 (09:18):
Yeah, I mean, what do you saying? The moros are
still there. There's nothing I can do about it. This
man is the president, so we might as well all
accept it, and we might as well keep TikTok while
we're at it. Bro.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
I mean, hey, all right, there it is there. Uh.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
TikTok's fight against the ban on platform on their platform continues.
The Supreme Court announced yesterday that it will hear arguments
on the company's challenge to the law that put a
January nineteenth deadline in place for the parent company by
dance to sell TikTok or see it ban in the US.
January tenth is when these arguments will be heard, and
so we'll see what happens. NASA has announced that it
(09:56):
will be delaying the SpaceX Crew ten launch and move
that will keep astronauts Butch and Sunny in space even longer.
What So they went up there in June, they pouted
the first crude test flight of Boeing Starliner spacecraft. Their
trip was supposed to last a week. Then they had
(10:18):
an issue with the spacecraft. They said, hey, it's too risky.
They did send that thing home empty and it was fine,
but they didn't know that and that's okay, you know,
let's let's go ahead and be cautious here as it
comes to you know, Butch and Sunny's life in romance.
But one week turned into well, June until February, so
eight months and now they're saying it'll be at least
(10:38):
another month because they need time to complete a processing
of a new Dragon spacecraft for the mission. So now
we're looking at nine months up there. So now we're
looking maybe March for a return for these guys. I mean,
they better, they better return to a parade. They need
stamps with their faces on.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
Maybe maybe they return into some divorce places.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
They're gonna They're gonna return to their entire families that
moved on. They have new dads now exactly. I feel
bad for these people though, And every time they put
them on TV, they're like, yeah, you know, this is
just part of it. No, I don't think it is.
I don't think one week turning into nine months is
part of it. Like I don't, I don't. I realize
you're going to a place that's not easy to get to,
(11:27):
but I guess I kind of expect I'm going to
come home when they tell me that I am.
Speaker 6 (11:31):
And they keep going up there. They keep like, they
keep sending stuff up there and bringing it back.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
They yeah, walking out there, coming back.
Speaker 6 (11:41):
But somehow Butcher's Sonny can't get on the ride back.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Right.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
No, it's wild because, uh, because Mario with five star rating,
he just delivered some Shakeshack up there and came home
and so and I don't know why they couldn't just
stick them in the car with him and just send
him back or whatever. And I'm not sure speaking of Shakeshack,
by the way, they receive the most complaints being overpriced,
followed by who would you guess? And I would agree
with this even though it's delicious. The second most complained
(12:05):
about UH fast food restaurant for being too expensive Chipotle
Chick five guys, Oh oh yeah, sure, yeah, it's like
thirty seven dollars for a burger and fried.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
It's good.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
I like it, and you can get like eighty seven
things on your burger if you want.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
But it's expensive.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
But five guys and then the Gordon Ramsey restaurants were
also complained about for being overpriced. Bluey and twenty twenty
four at the top of the streaming list, the most
streaming show through last month, even though it targets preschoolers
literally the most streaming show. And I learned from our
friend that the Llury Children's Hospital radio thought that Blue
(12:43):
is a girl.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
I didn't know that Blue was a girl.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
I thought Marshall and then it's blue and is it No,
it's Bluey and Bingo and I thought Bingo was a
boy and Bingo is also a girl.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Both Wow, wow, girl power.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Yeah, blooey. They're making a movie in like twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Oh good, I can't wait to watch that. We'll be
like three.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
I'm glad that I got I got laughed at by
a child on on the radio, but at least my
nieces won't laugh at me when I never make that
mistake in front of Polly, because Polly would. I mean,
I can't even imagine a little snarky look on her
face if I confuse that Bobby.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
He's not a boy. I can hear it.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Now, Bobby, and then in parentheses, you dumb ass, but
like that. You haven't to say that yet.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Now.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
I don't know how this happens, but this is messed
up trending this morning. The Charlotte Hornets, Oh yes, I
don't know what they were thinking.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
I don't know each man. And by the way, I
used to do so.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
I used to be an in game host for the
Charlotte Hornet slash Charlotte Bobcats. Never in my life when
I have agreed to this. But the Charlotte Hornets have
learned quickly that you do not give a kid a
toy and then take it away. The NBA team is
apologizing for dropping the ball during an on the court
giveaway when and the mascot HUGO. I believe this isad
it is dressed as Santa. Gave a kid a PlayStation
(14:08):
five during one of the timeouts during a Hornets game
NBA game. A friend later posted on social media that
they took the gaming console away when the cameras were
turned off and gave the kid a jersey instead and
said like, no, you don't really get this, but here's this.
Have a nice day, and they left with the PlayStation five.
There was a big miscommunication about the quote unquote stunt,
(14:30):
says the team, and after a ton of negative press,
the organization issued an apology, gave the PS five to
the kid and said that he'll also get a VIP
experience at a game.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
But like, whose idea was that? I got it? You guys.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
We're gonna give the kid a toy, a really cool toy,
and we're a multi billion dollar organization, and then we're
gonna take it away later when no one's watching.
Speaker 5 (14:53):
Right, Like I watched it, like at the stunt, Like
I don't know what the stunt was. They just gave
a PS five on the court and then was it.
There was no like they didn't take it away on
the court, like it was supposed to be a joke.
Like I don't know where the stunt was in this
hole skit.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
I just I can only imagine the writer's room on
that one, A bunch of people sitting around the table.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
I got it. Guys. Here's what we're gonna do.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
We're gonna we're gonna make this kid's Christmas, all right,
and then we're gonna take it all away.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Sound good? Great? All right? Do it? Guys?
Speaker 2 (15:19):
I mean, what what are you doing? And finally, and
this is a little nostalgic for me. It brings back
a lot of memories. But same remember Sam Goody. Does
anyone in there remember Sam Goody? Yeah, it's only I
think it's only the old people, those of us over forty.
But Sam Goody the music at entertainment retail, and it
was in all the malls in the two thousands. We'll
close its remaining two brick and mortar stores, at the
(15:42):
Ohio Valley Mall in Ohio and the Rogue Valley Mall
in Medford, Oregon. It's not clear which one will be
the last one standing, but the Ohio location opened in
nineteen eighty expected to close sometime in February. A long
time store manager says the Internet reduced demand for albums
and movies that you could hold into your hands. At
one point, Sam Goody had a thirteen hundred locations across
(16:04):
the country was down to three hundred and twenty and
nineteen ninety Sam Goody Goodowitz was the founder. And it's
going away now, so like like Blockbuster that only has
the one store left in Bend Orgon whoever that is?
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Yeah, no, Sa good too. I heard that Blockbuster was
gonna close. Really yeah, the Bend organ One. I don't
even know how they have enough stuff to rent people?
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Can you can you? Can you get movie like DVDs?
Like can you are all the new movies coming out
in dv if it's on Netflix or whatever, it's not
coming out DVD?
Speaker 1 (16:35):
So what is there to rent? You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Right, anyway, Sam Goodie man that was.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
I can remember the saturdays my parents when we were like,
didn't have driver's licenses, we were young. Parents would drop
us off at the mall, like three or four dudes
would meet up with three or four girls and we'd
walk around and look at ss up that we couldn't
buy and we didn't have any money. And Sam Goody
was one of the stories. We'd go into Spencer's was
another one.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
And by the way, kids, this is a place the mall. Okay,
so let me tell you first of all, I'm gonna
blow your mind this morning. First I told you about
a bank. Now I'm gonna tell you about a place
called a mall. And it's a big building they used
to have with a bunch of stores. It was almost
like a bunch of websites, but it was hit one
building and you could walk in and you could walk
in there, you could grab the item, buy it, and
(17:18):
you could take it with you right then and there.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
It's crazy.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
I love them all.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Still a food court, I love them all. If you
could find one.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Yeah, no, yeah, they're around.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Hardly, but yeah, anyway, and they don't have any stories
loft because somebody's closing. It's National Regifting Day today, so
shout out to and how can it be National Regifting
Day on December nineteenth when I haven't been given anything yet?
Know what regifting Day be on the twenty seventh or
something after I already got everything, went through it and
decided I didn't want it.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Return day Right now, I'm assuming that you're regifting stuff
you already have for Christmas.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Right, Well, my mom has this little stack in her
house right now of like yesterday, is this box of
fancy chocolate caramel things or whatever, and I grabbed it
from her. I'm like, I'm gonna eat this. She is no, No,
I'm like, why I'm regifting that. So I didn't realize
we have a regifting corner. Oh, I love and it's
like that kind of stuff that she doesn't like. And
(18:16):
then but but she keeps it there in case someone
shows up to the house exactly with a gift, justin
so she has like a little stash there that no
one's supposed to touch. And it's very smart actually, But
like if somebody, if a neighbor knocks out the door
with like you know, a fruit basket or something, and
she doesn't have anything because she doesn't like that neighbor,
then she can all of a sudden go grab the
chocolates and be like, I got these for you exactly.
(18:37):
So I think that's smart. But yeah, we have a
regifting corner in the house, and I had to make
sure I don't consume.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Any of it.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Yeah, it says it's about giving others gifts that you
don't have any use for. And making sure that almost
anyone can have a good holiday spirit.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Also tip make sure you remember who gave you what
that you're regifting, because you know, the worst thing you
could do is regift something to someone who gave it
to you. I've heard of it happening.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Yeah, don't write names on, like on actual gifts. Like
I have a friend who will write on like a
wine bottle. It's like, no, honey, like I might want
to bring this to a party or something, you know.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
All right, right, yeah, don't do that. Uhh now the
Entertamber of Fort. We'll do it next thing in two minutes.
