Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's the thread show. This is what's trending. Somebody takes
it put in a help desk ticket. They're tired of
hearing that, Oh yeah, we get that around here all
the time. I feel so bad for engineer Karen, the
brilliant engineer. Karen actually a member of MENSA. She's actually
a genius, of course. And I don't know, I'm not
supposed to say this, because you're supposed to, like, if

(00:21):
you have a problem around here, like you could literally
walk by Karen or any of the engineers and be like, hey,
I have a problem. What you're supposed to do, though,
is not pretending like they're not actually physically standing in
front of you. I don't know if everyone else's office
is like this. You're supposed to go into your office
and put if I had one of those, and then
put in a help ticket that then gets assigned to
one of the humans that you just saw, and then

(00:42):
they can come over to you and engage. But until
then they're not allowed to speak to you. Now, Karen,
I just I just email he right, go ahead, look
and then what's funny? And she'll go fix it and
then put in a help ticket. Oh yeah, for the
thing that she already fixed, because I guess that's how
they try to see like who's actually working her credit? Yes,
give her her credit, which is fine. I'm just like,

(01:03):
I don't want to have to explain this twice. I
know I can. I just tell you and then you'll
fix it right now and everything's fine. Can you imagine
like on those days that you know, I'm saying the
name of the radio station, like right in the middle
of Kaylen talking and I have nothing and I'm not
even doing anything, and it's a computer in the back
that we don't have access to that needs to be
you know, somebody's like blowing the cartridge. It's like, I
don't have time for a ticket. No, I need to know.

(01:25):
I'm gonna if you don't come and fix it, I'm
gonna go back there and hit resear in every single
box I see until it's fixed, which could be a
real problem for you. Yeah. Oh yeah. Karen's an angel.
She hates to see me coming though. Film me days
where I call her at six oh one am. I'm like, oh,
I'm sorry, Karen, but I need you, and she's there.
She is there. That's how I would feel if I
if I had a job like that where I was

(01:46):
the only person that could fix something, and if my
phone rang in the middle of the night, I'd just
be like, I'm up now, Like something's happening. I'm gonna
have to go up there and fix it, move the
tin foiler round on the antenna or whatever. So the
Super Bowl is this weekend. Roger Goodell, the commissioner of
the NFL. He's shot down the popular conspiracy theory the
Chiefs are getting favorable calls from the NFL officials in

(02:07):
order to make sure that Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelcey
and Taylor Swift and all that that the dynasty keeps
on going. So he says, that's a ridiculous theory. And
for anyone who might take that seriously, it sounds like
the script that I write a script, and that I
have a script for the entire season. A lot of
these theories are things that happen on social media and

(02:28):
they get a new life. Huh. Theories on social media
that then become reality with no fact base basis. Huh.
Nobody wants it to be their theory. I understand it.
It reflects a lot of the fans passion It's also
a reminder for us how important officiating is now. There
are stats that would support the Chiefs getting more favorable
calls than every other team, but this guy's saying it's

(02:52):
not true. I can also see why they would want
as much Taylor Swift on national television as possible for
as long as possible. And I can see what they
would want. You know, these dynasties, these teams that win three, four,
you know, five in a row like the NBA had
for so long.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
What cracks me up is every time, like something associated
with them Post Tailor, the comments are no one cares,
who cares? No one cares? Who cares? Which I love
that people think they can speak for everyone. But also
it's like you're engaging with the post, so it's gonna
just keep getting posted because it's doing numbers every time.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
And you obviously care if you feel the need to
get in there and.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
Say you don't care, right, So you're the problem, right
because you're right.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
The more engagement than the bigger the post gets and
they keep doing it exactly. The NFL is getting federal
help for the Super Bowl security this weekend ahead of
Super Bowl fifty nine. They're saying it's gonna be very safe.
League officials said yesterday the safest place to be this
weekend will be under the security umbrella around Caesar Super Dome.
The plan includes help from the Department of Homeland Security,

(03:51):
which has dispatched nearly five hundred FBI personnel in New
Orleans to investigate and prevent threats. Of course, there was
an attack not that long ago in New Orleans that
was of course not anticipated, and it revealed some holes
in the security process. So they're saying this week and
is gonna be very safe, and I hope that that's true.
The price of Super Bowl tickets has actually gone down.

(04:15):
The cheapest ticket for the Super Bowl this weekend in
New Orleans has fallen below four thousand dollars, which is
a thirty percent decline over a week and more than
fifty percent cheaper compared to last year's record breaking Super Bowl.
Why the price drop, Well, people aren't that excited about
seeing the Chiefs play again. Supposedly, I guess so. Two

(04:36):
employees at the Metropolitan Washington Airport Authority have been arrested
over leaking video of the American Airlines passenger jet colliding
with an army helicopter to CNN a twenty one year
old man and a forty five year old man who
both work at the airport and award and if they
were paid for the video or how they got it
or where they were standing or whatever. But yeah, I

(04:57):
guess they immediately took the video that they had captured
and send it to the news network. And now they're
under investigation and a TikTok is under pressure to find
a new owner by April, after President Trump signed a
seventy five day extension by the law that requires the
app to be sold from its China based parent company,
Byte Dance or be banned in the US. He said
Monday that TikTok could be acquired by a newly proposed

(05:19):
US sovereign wealth fund to ensure the app remains accessible
to it's one hundred and seventy million American users, but
standing up a sovereign wealth fund and then using the
fund to acquire the platform is unlikely to happen anytime soon,
according to analysts. It's not clear who would run the
fund or whether it could gather the tens of billions
of dollars estimated that it would be needed to buy

(05:40):
the platform. Kiki, how are you doing on the fundraising?
I know you have a go fundme going. Yes, are
we anywhere near the ten billion that we need? Yeah,
I'm just waiting on my taxes. Yeah, so as my
income taxes come, I plan to buy it. So you
have to file taxes though, in order to get a return.

Speaker 3 (05:55):
Right, So I actually did that, you know you did.
My w two's dropped like an album. Get it, and
I wouldn't found my Texas because now when I get
my income my return, I plan to officially submit my offer.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
And then bowl. That is incredible. I am the owner.
You could have done one of those H and R
block things where you get the tens of billions a
little bit earlier than everybody else.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
Well, no, I go to the place where I got
the little George Washington man out there, no statue of liberty.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
Yeah, doing a little twork, the waving one one that
waves in with the fan on the bottom. Yeah, that's
where you get you Texas done. Yeah, I'm sure that's reputable.
The Southwest is going to offer red Eye flights for
the first time ever in it's fifty year history. So
if you want to get crammed in the back of
a seven thirty seven from nineteen eighty four and fly
all night long from Phoenix to Baltimore. You can do

(06:39):
it Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Phoenix to Baltimore, plus Vegas
to Orlando and LA to Nashville. And these flights would
depart the West coast like between nine thirty and eleven
pm and then land at six am local time on
the East coast. But Southwest has never offered those before.
So you can do that if you want to be
in boarding groups. I guess, well, now they're gonna started

(07:00):
signing seats. I read that, yes, so I'm ready for
the assigned seats. I love Southwest personally.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
I took a giant school bus and I like to
get on and see where everyone's sitting, where everybody's at.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
You know, we're all even, We're all on the same plane.
It's not true, you're not even because if you have
an a boarding group that you paid for, if you're
a one, you are not like everybody else. Yeah, you're
not like us, asked the guy. I'm not kidding you.
I had to go somewhere for work. They paid for
the ticket. They put me on Southwest, and I was

(07:30):
I checked in late. So I was like boarding group Z.
So I was going to be sitting on the flight
attendant the male flight attendants lap, not even the female
wasn't gonna be great. And so I upgrade. So I
didn't pay the ticket, So I paid the money to
get a something. You know how you paid the money,
you upgrade the gate. So I got a three. I
was so excited, so excited. So I go to the
front of the line and then here comes A two

(07:51):
and he's like, hey, I'm a two. Like, okay, well
there are two hundred seats on the plane, but sure
you're a two. Stand in front of me. Then hey,
one comes along, and it's imperative that everybody knows he's
a one and he will be the first person on
the flight. So then he stands there. He kind of
fumbles with something as we're boarding, and so A two
physically walks in front of him, and we approached like
the little door to the airplane, and I kid you not,

(08:13):
A one goes stop. I am a one. I will
board the plane first, And I kid you not, I'm
a three. A two turns around looks at him and
was like, are you serious? What are the there's nobody
on this plane. Do you really think I'm gonna take
the one seat that you And honestly, a flight attendant
had to come out and be like, is everything okay here?
Because a one had to get on before a two

(08:36):
because he was a one. He was a one, and
he told y'all he was a one, like you would
do that. You would never do that, kikiing.

Speaker 3 (08:43):
And I'm just happy to get in there when I
get to be like, you know, first class on somebody
else's dime, or I am very much like can I
see your ticket?

Speaker 1 (08:54):
Thanks? And I get my spot. Yeah, get to the bag, Brookie.
You know that's or like the rac Asian, I have
an airline credit card. If I get like an upgrade,
and I'm sitting in the front and everyone walks by,
and I'm like drinking my little my little like water
down orange juice with my little mixed nuts, and I'm like, yeah,
that's right, This right here is what you aspired to
be clip. Of course I'm never up there, but like

(09:17):
the one time I am, I act like this is
the way I travel. Like the PJ is broken today,
so I'm gonna have to plummet like this, I guess
I'll have another water down orange juice, please, And a
seven eleven customer in Florida used a banana to batter
a store clerk. Even better, she's a stripper. Her name
is How would you say his name? Kiki? Come here?

(09:37):
Look at that? How would you say this name? I'm
almost afraid to say that. It looks like a profane thing.
Put your hand on the dunk, calta via ya. I
doubt that that's your stripper name. It's a little doesn't
really roll off the tongue like a turquoise or a
you know, like a jade. You know, we need you

(09:58):
know as many single syllable words. She had into a
verbal altercation with a female worker at a seven to eleven.
At one point, she became my rate, picked up the
banana from the cashier counter. Through the banana at the
victim's face. The fruit struck the employee on the cheek bone,
left of minor abrasion. The banana was not seize's evidence. Turner,
who is a stripper. We had to have that in
the story, was arrested for battery and booked into the

(10:19):
county jail on a misdemeanor count. It's national homemade Soup
Day and National Thank a Mail Carrier Days. Oh yes.
And if you're asking why we do those days, it's
because we did it to make fun of another show
a long time ago, like a decade ago. And now
if I don't do them, I will get emails? What
about the days? Same with the fun fact. We did
a fun fact later in the show, simply to make

(10:40):
fun of a show that that was like their biggest bit.
They were so proud of it, so we just took it.
It moved over here and I was kidding. I was joking,
And now if I don't do it, people will email
me all I'm not kidding. I will get dms all day.
What was the fun fact? I was joking. I was kidding.
