Oh well, not surprising.
Speaker 1 (00:04):
Bella Hamine, the intern announces to her husband when she's
going to go number two.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Oh Bella, because.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Someone texted, I've been married twenty six years on July tenth,
and I don't let my husband even know when I poop.

They say that the dog goes into the bathroom with
you because they're watching to protect you while you're at
your most vulnerable state.

Don't deserve them, don't man.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Nobody loves me Like looks, oh, you let my parents.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
My parents always trying to come in there when I'm
at home, and I'm like, nope, you guys got to
wait out and then they wait for me. But I'm like,
you don't even see this. I'm protecting you. I'm looking
out for your best interest. Okay, this is not about
to be good for you or anybody for that matter.
Thirty six to forty six years of age, which is
either most of us or almost most of us in
this room. A recent finished study highlights the ages between
(01:10):
thirty six and forty six as a critical period for
long term health. Research has found that unhealthy habits like smoking,
heavy drinking, and physical inactivity during this decade significantly increase
the risk of chronic diabetes and mental health issues later
in life. Also, your boyfriend farting in your face will
do the same thing.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
So tips to.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Boost your health in this decade. Quit smoking, limit alcohol consumption.
Reducing alcohol intake helps prevent liver disease and supports mental
well being. Stay active. Eat real food, man, that's my
achilles heel right there. The food I just just a
toxic garbage I consume. I'm the process queen.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Anything process I will put in my mouth like oh,
like it's insane, Wow.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
I feel Just save that moment, right, Yeah, this has
been a few already in the first thirty minutes that
you're going to hear French show is on anything process
I'll put in my mouth? Yeah No, I honestly, it's
because I'm It's a matter of convenience and it's a
matter of choice.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Yes, you know, I'm one guy. It's just me.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
You know, I don't have to worry about kids. I
don't have to worry about so it's like, I don't know, man,
I'm hungry.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
The whole world is my oyster.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
I can order anything, but you know, you order stuff
on the restaurants, it's going to have a more fat
and you know culver Is always has a good idea.
Oh yes, And then we said that's why I need
like apples and bananas and the stuff in my house.
But the thing is I have apples and bananas in
my house and I choose to order something instead.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Yeah, yeah, that's hard.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
I was spoiled, devastated last night. I absolutely devastated. My
Chipotle order was canceled. They canceled, they canceled it. Now
I could have walked a block and gotten it, but
no I didn't. I door dashed it. And then I
get a text from the door dance driver, your order
has been withdrawn. I might excuse me? Was that even mean?
What happened? And then he sends me a picture of
(02:54):
the Chipotle like the people working, and then I get
a message, A terrible calamity, a travesty has occurred. Your
order has been canceled and you've been refunded. I'm like, well,
if they were standing there work and then why don't
you have to make another one? Bring it to me?
Does someone take my amazing Chipotle order? That could have
been it? They looked at the They were like, this
is a fire collaboration here, the friend Chipotle collabed that
(03:18):
we've been working on.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Wait, that's not cool though, if somebody grabs your Chipotle,
which could happen, because they'll leave them like on those
little bins or whatever with your name.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Litle shelves, right right, So somebody.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Takes it, how is that your fault? You're still hungry.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
I don't get to eat then, so I had to
eat apple banana. It was terrible. Anyway, maybe I'll live longer. Oh,
in prioritize sleep, guys, it's pretty simple, you know.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Yeah, it's easy.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Establishing good sleep routines enhances recovery and mental clarity. Victoria's
secret done. Victoria's secret. It's over. They're over, at least
their website for now. They fell Wednesday. Shares of the stock,
actually the company stock fell on Wednesday after the Lingerie
Company took down each US website saying there's been a
prolonged security incident operas. Visiting the website, we'll see a
(04:01):
black screen with the company's statement rather than its usual
selection of Dongerie sleepwear and other products. A retailer has
identified and are taking steps to address a security incident,
According to a statement on its website, We've taken down
our website and some in store services as a precaution.
You can't get your your chonies now online. Wow, you're
(04:22):
gonna have to go in there. It's rare for a
company of a Toy Secret size to have such a lengthy,
sight wide outage while its physical retail stores amain open
revenue from online shopping.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
It's critical.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
The brand generated two billion dollars in net sales from
direct channels that include online shopping in twenty twenty four,
or a third of its annual sales. Hopefully they get
the thing back up so you guys can get you
your thong. Yeah, well, KICKI was thinking about investing in
a second thong. You're gonna have to go in there
and get it. Travelers are getting crafty in hopes of
(04:57):
avoiding pesky airline baggage fees as we are. So we
learned yesterday that if you buy a take it on
southwestarning now that the bags do not any longer fly free,
The latest trend now is stuffing closed into empty pillowcases
and bring them aboard as travel pillows. The airlines typically
don't count pillows as carry ons. The clever workaround lets
(05:19):
passengers sneak extra items on board without the added cost.
Travel experts have notice to surge and passengers carrying their
own pillows not just for comfort, but as a sneaky
storage solution. However, this heck gains as a gain's popularity,
then airlines will catch on if they haven't already. The
people who carry a pillow on the plane, I mean
that is you're just asking you just mopping up germs.
(05:41):
It's just a big whatever. How we're big of pillow
is twenty four by twelve or how a big a
pillow is?
Speaker 2 (05:46):
I mean, you're just carrying this thing around.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
It's just average all the things from the airport and
the plane to in the nastiest places on Earth. It's
just collecting all that and you put your head next
to it. Yeah, is a hotel pillow that bad? But
you simply can't use it. It's impossible to use it.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
A pillow. Anywhere else you have to bring your.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Own, but sometimes you do have a favorite pillow.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Like I have a pillow that I've had since like
eighth grade, and I just changed the cover.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
It's the same pillow. It has lumps in it, and
it just hits well.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
I was wondering why when I stayed I stayed at
Kiki's house recently in the guests room, and there were
there were some jeans and a thong inside the pillow
case that it turns out she'd just been traveling, so
that was the thong. It was strange, it was weird,
it was clean, that was just nice, tenderest struggling you guys.
I never thought I would say this, not because single
people aren't using dating apps, but because people, I guess
the younger generations don't hook up anymore.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Is that true? Can somebody text me or call me
and verify this?
Speaker 1 (06:39):
If you're gen Z or whatever, maybe if you're between
I don't know, twenty and thirty let's call that, or
a younger generation or twenty and thirty five. Is it
true that people don't hook up anymore?
Speaker 4 (06:51):
I believe it because they're not at the clubs, they're
not drinking as much.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Obviously, I don't think they're like smoking cigarettes. I think
that died in thoroughly two thousands.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
I don't know vaping or whether there's zen or zen
or what are those things that people is the zyn
that is the little pouches of the stick in it.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
I don't know either. I don't do it.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
But they're quiet quitting their jobs. I don't know. I
really don't know.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
It sounds to me like they are honestly so different
than like what we're used to growing up, just as people.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Like a lot of my friend's kids who have graduated
high school recently, I don't I honestly don't think that
they're getting it on.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Really.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Like a friend of one friend of mine's kids graduated
and I and she's pretty and smart and all the things.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
I just don't think she cares. I don't.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
I think she'd rather sit in a room and play
video games or like or talk to people virtually as
opposed to actually going out and doing all this stuff.
I mean, man, I was trying to score, like this
is the moment I knew what it was. I was like,
how do I got mean? Twelve years old? I'm twelve
year old friends, like can I make out with you?
Speaker 2 (07:52):
You know?
Speaker 1 (07:52):
I don't know, And but I feel like it has
to do with people's expectations of communicating and in person communication.
But the new CEO of Tinder is trying to revamp
the app's image because he's struggling to gain traction among
gen zs, the ages of eighteen to twenty eight. He
says that it's not a hookup generation. They don't drink
(08:13):
as much alcohol, they don't have as much sex, and
that's a problem for Tinder. In a recent poll of
single people on dating apps WAPPING, eighty five percent say
that they don't use Tinder because of its reputation for hookups.
The CEO is trying to adapt by shifting the focus
to casual meetups, including double dating, which is rolling out
this summer, and improving equality of matches to encourage more
(08:34):
lasting relationships. Someone said, no, but we're getting our hose
from Facebook and Instah.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
Oh, I thought Snapchat for sure, Like I thought Snapchat
was there their tender.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Now Somebody else said no, we're still drinking too much
and going out on one night stands. Oh okay, well
never mind, I guess everything is fine and I'm curious,
I really am curious. If you're between the ages of
eighteen and twenty aid and you you don't have any
context of what, uh, you know, previous generations we're doing,
(09:07):
then do you really feel like you're that different?
Speaker 2 (09:10):
And why?
Speaker 1 (09:10):
And is it because there's this propensity just to rely
on on virtual communication or you know, I don't know,
online communication or texting or not being in person. Yeah,
because my friend was even you know, his daughter's about
to go off to college, and I mean, and she's
a lovely human being, and it's like he's like, why
am I sending her away to college? She's probably gonna
sit in her room and talk to her friends in
(09:31):
her computer in the dorm, So like, why why am
I paying to send her to somewhere else to do that?
Because and there's nothing wrong with it, but it's like
that's what's I guess that's what's going on for a
bunch of folks.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
Hey Leila, Hi, how's it going? Hi?
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Leila? How old are you?
Speaker 5 (09:49):
I am twenty one?
Speaker 2 (09:50):
You're twenty one? And is this true?
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Like would you get on Tinder and match with somebody
and go hook up with them?
Speaker 5 (09:56):
Honestly?
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Like I can't do it.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
I'm I really want to stay home. I just want
a friends of king, like, don't move wrong like I
do in your clubs party? But hoo does? I mean
it's just become like something.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
To where it's not as fun as it used to be,
as as fun as you guys experienced it.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Why do you think that is? Why do you mean
it's the same activity. I believe we're all doing it
the same way since the dawn of time, since to
Adam and Eve.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Honestly, it just the mindset that it is now these days,
it's just different.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
You guys are more like fun.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Like I think it's technology that really took effect in everything.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Okay, would you ever like, how would you feel if
a random man walked you know, I make it so
like like not a predatory guy, a guy that you
would be interested in, Like a random stranger walks up
to you and asks you on a date. How does
that make you feel to hear that sentence? Is that
like yaky and weird?
Speaker 5 (10:50):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (10:51):
No?
Speaker 5 (10:51):
I mean it's okay. I mean, because it's you know,
we are used to that.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
But it just depends on how the person comes up
to me, how they.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
Present themselves you know, because a lot can you can
leadice a lot through a facial expression, through how they
talk and everything.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
So it's more respect, more boundaries, more knowing that they're
not just there.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
To hook up because it's just hook up an econ.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Let's be for real, Let's be for real. Hey Laila, no,
thank you. I appreciate that your perspective.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Have a good day.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
This is kind of cool.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
I'm kind of not mad at it because I feel
like that generation too, like the Gens as I call
them the gen Z, They're a very like know you're
worth kind of era. I know it's problematic because like
a lot of them need to like work harder. But
I think what they do, though, is they kind of
come with this like I'm not accepting this job. I'm
not gonna do this hook up. I'm not I don't
want to drink and feel gross tomorrow. Like we did
not care. We wanted to experience every single feeling and
(11:48):
we still do probably, But you know, I think they
kind of come.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
In high of just like, no, I'm not doing this
from the go, That's how I feel.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
But I don't.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
As a guy who's been single for a long time,
my whole life really like I I'm just overexposed to
it all.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Like I, I've had enough to drink.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
It's long past sort of going out and you know
we can't do it getting hammered or whatever is like,
is long past entertaining. And then the hookup stuff. I
mean I've done again, I haven't been in long term
relationships like overstimulated, Like yeah, but for me, it's just
I've experienced enough of it. I don't really want to
do it anymore. But if you're gen Z, if you're
twenty years old, then you haven't experienced much of anything yet,
(12:25):
which is not your fault. You just haven't been around
that long, so it's not that you know. But it's
like and again, I mean, is this generation Are they
that much smarter than we were? Are they that much
more sensitive? Are they that much smarter than we? Because
I don't know. I mean I would say some of
this stuff that that's like the quiet quitting thing. I
don't think that's necessarily smart. No, I mean, that's not
smart at all. But I'm not calling the generation stupid.
(12:46):
But if in fact that to trend, I wouldn't argue
that that's necessarily a great idea choice right right. That
is not a great so I wouldn't say that universally.
But again, I don't know if that's I wouldn't say
every gen Z listening it's going to work today saying
I'm going to do nothing until they fire me, you know.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Not at all. No, there's some really greatly hard working ones.
We have Urbella here.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
But I'm just saying I think that they are learning
early like certain things. I think that they are are
saying no at an early age, or they're doing things
earlier than we did.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
That makes any sense, No.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Okay, I still think it has to do with the
expectation of physical contact. Yeah, because again, like when we
were younger, there was no way to avoid talking. You
couldn't talk. You could not talk to anyone. Then you
didn't have any friends. Yeah, there was no substitute. We
didn't have apps like Insight.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
I can't.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Yeah, I can't just go online and make friends all
over the world and I never have to meet and
never have to come face to face with them.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
You know.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
I couldn't rely on texting or rely on other things,
you know, if you wanted to talk to somebody back
in the nineties, yeah, yea, and the man the nineties,
you had to actually walk up to somebody.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
In the mall.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
Yeah, And we also kind of feel, going off of
what you were saying about, I'm kind of over like
the drinking whatever, or like I'm not going to get
hammered at this age anymore. I think we also kind
of started early, didn't we For the most part.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Yeah, we started early. Like they weren't.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
I don't know if you guys are, but they weren't
in the clubs at like, you know, eighteen years old,
like we were with our fake id's.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
I don't see them like that anymore. They'll make them
like they used to.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Society is a toxic waste imp somebody texted someone else.
I teach high school. Their horny as ever now. But
that's that's just like that's human nature. It's just a
matter of are you acting on it now? Hey, I'm Michael.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
I tried it's uncle Benny Michael to first thing. But good.
I agree completely with everything you're saying. I was talking
earlier back in twenty fifteen. I remember when Tinderhead the
part where you could travel to this you could set
your city, and I remember bruning in for work and
I would have a match that day, hooking up with
(14:40):
somebody and the culture. I'm thirty two now. Culture has
completely changed in the last ten years. You're a spot
on Nobody Want. I have buddies that are on these apps.
There's nothing happening whatsoever. It's a generational thing. Nobody's going out,
nobody's drinking, nobody's you know, messing aroun It's a total
(15:01):
different culture. In twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Five, Michael, thank you man, have a good day.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
Take care.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Glad you called Nathan Fielder. Of course I've been on
this Nathan Fielder kick a week because of the rehearsal.
But he in one of the Q and a's. I
don't know the context, but he was talking about how
when people say things are cringe and now he's an
awkward guy, but he was like, you know people who
say the things that people say are cringed, that certain
generations say are cringed today, Like, how do you survive
(15:27):
if you think that that's cringe? Like do you how
do you exist in some were walking up to you
and saying hello, someone smiling at you, someone engaging with you,
that's cringe, Like, well, how do you walk around like
I mean, I don't know it's it's it's pretty nuts skittles.
I'll wrap this up skills. Consumers in the US may
notice a subtle change in the candy because Mars has
(15:49):
removed a color additive link to health concerns. Titanium dioxide
was banned in the European Union in twenty twenty two,
but it is permitted in the US, but Mars said
it nevertheless stopped using the ingredient in US production before
the end of last year. I said, that doesn't sound
delicious titanium dioxide sports, because Jason, I know you're just
(16:10):
you're in the entertainment realm today filling it for Kanlin,
so you don't have time. The NBA Playoffs, the Oklahoma
City Thunder beat the Timberwolves of.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
Ooh Wolves live in Tallahassee.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Yeah, no Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
So the the Oklahoma City Thunder headed to the NBA
Finals and they will meet either the Pacers or the Knicks.
And the NHL Playoffs, the defending champion Panthers are heading
back to the Stanley Cup Finals. Shout out to Jason
Carr here. It's actually last night. He's so excited with
the five to three game five win over the Hurricanes.
The Panthers will face the winner of the Western Final
(16:47):
between Dallas and Edmonton Edmonton ooh Eagles, oilers, so close.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
So close.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
And then I have a controversial food story. We'll get
to it later though, because this is a little bit strange.
I don't know why it's strange, but it is in
fact strange. We'll do it in just a second. Ex
National five twenty nine day helps save for a child's future,
or like some of my friends have done, coll mangle
the funds.
Speaker 2 (17:11):

going to go number two.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Oh Bella, because.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Someone texted, I've been married twenty six years on July tenth,
and I don't let my husband even know when I poop.
So you got to keep the sexy And I said yes,
and then Bella responded, that's wild. I am so the opposite.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Why child, Why you don't have to be Why?
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Also a text a bit of information for Jason and Keiki.
They say that the dog goes into the bathroom with
you because they're watching to protect you while you're at
your most vulnerable state.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Don't deserve them, don't man.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Nobody loves me Like looks, oh, you let my parents.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
My parents always trying to come in there when I'm
at home, and I'm like, nope, you guys got to
wait out and then they wait for me. But I'm like,
you don't even see this. I'm protecting you. I'm looking
out for your best interest. Okay, this is not about
to be good for you or anybody for that matter.
Thirty six to forty six years of age, which is
either most of us or almost most of us in
this room. A recent finished study highlights the ages between
(01:10):
thirty six and forty six as a critical period for
long term health. Research has found that unhealthy habits like smoking,
heavy drinking, and physical inactivity during this decade significantly increase
the risk of chronic diabetes and mental health issues later
in life. Also, your boyfriend farting in your face will
do the same thing.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
So tips to.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Boost your health in this decade. Quit smoking, limit alcohol consumption.
Reducing alcohol intake helps prevent liver disease and supports mental
well being. Stay active. Eat real food, man, that's my
achilles heel right there. The food I just just a
toxic garbage I consume. I'm the process queen.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Anything process I will put in my mouth like oh,

been a few already in the first thirty minutes that
you're going to hear French show is on anything process
I'll put in my mouth? Yeah No, I honestly, it's
because I'm It's a matter of convenience and it's a
matter of choice.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Yes, you know, I'm one guy. It's just me.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
You know, I don't have to worry about kids. I
don't have to worry about so it's like, I don't know, man,
I'm hungry.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
The whole world is my oyster.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
I can order anything, but you know, you order stuff
on the restaurants, it's going to have a more fat
and you know culver Is always has a good idea.
Oh yes, And then we said that's why I need
like apples and bananas and the stuff in my house.
But the thing is I have apples and bananas in
my house and I choose to order something instead.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Yeah, yeah, that's hard.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
I was spoiled, devastated last night. I absolutely devastated. My
Chipotle order was canceled. They canceled, they canceled it. Now
I could have walked a block and gotten it, but
no I didn't. I door dashed it. And then I
get a text from the door dance driver, your order
has been withdrawn. I might excuse me? Was that even mean?
What happened? And then he sends me a picture of
(02:54):
the Chipotle like the people working, and then I get
a message, A terrible calamity, a travesty has occurred. Your
order has been canceled and you've been refunded. I'm like, well,
if they were standing there work and then why don't
you have to make another one? Bring it to me?
Does someone take my amazing Chipotle order? That could have
been it? They looked at the They were like, this
is a fire collaboration here, the friend Chipotle collabed that
(03:18):
we've been working on.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Wait, that's not cool though, if somebody grabs your Chipotle,
which could happen, because they'll leave them like on those
little bins or whatever with your name.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Litle shelves, right right, So somebody.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Takes it, how is that your fault? You're still hungry.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
I don't get to eat then, so I had to
eat apple banana. It was terrible. Anyway, maybe I'll live longer. Oh,
in prioritize sleep, guys, it's pretty simple, you know.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Yeah, it's easy.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Establishing good sleep routines enhances recovery and mental clarity. Victoria's
secret done. Victoria's secret. It's over. They're over, at least
their website for now. They fell Wednesday. Shares of the stock,
actually the company stock fell on Wednesday after the Lingerie
Company took down each US website saying there's been a
prolonged security incident operas. Visiting the website, we'll see a
(04:01):
black screen with the company's statement rather than its usual
selection of Dongerie sleepwear and other products. A retailer has
identified and are taking steps to address a security incident,
According to a statement on its website, We've taken down
our website and some in store services as a precaution.
You can't get your your chonies now online. Wow, you're
(04:22):
gonna have to go in there. It's rare for a
company of a Toy Secret size to have such a lengthy,
sight wide outage while its physical retail stores amain open
revenue from online shopping.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
It's critical.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
The brand generated two billion dollars in net sales from
direct channels that include online shopping in twenty twenty four,
or a third of its annual sales. Hopefully they get
the thing back up so you guys can get you
your thong. Yeah, well, KICKI was thinking about investing in
a second thong. You're gonna have to go in there
and get it. Travelers are getting crafty in hopes of
(04:57):
avoiding pesky airline baggage fees as we are. So we
learned yesterday that if you buy a take it on
southwestarning now that the bags do not any longer fly free,
The latest trend now is stuffing closed into empty pillowcases
and bring them aboard as travel pillows. The airlines typically
don't count pillows as carry ons. The clever workaround lets
(05:19):
passengers sneak extra items on board without the added cost.
Travel experts have notice to surge and passengers carrying their
own pillows not just for comfort, but as a sneaky
storage solution. However, this heck gains as a gain's popularity,
then airlines will catch on if they haven't already. The
people who carry a pillow on the plane, I mean
that is you're just asking you just mopping up germs.
(05:41):
It's just a big whatever. How we're big of pillow
is twenty four by twelve or how a big a
pillow is?
Speaker 2 (05:46):
I mean, you're just carrying this thing around.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
It's just average all the things from the airport and
the plane to in the nastiest places on Earth. It's
just collecting all that and you put your head next
to it. Yeah, is a hotel pillow that bad? But
you simply can't use it. It's impossible to use it.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
A pillow. Anywhere else you have to bring your.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Own, but sometimes you do have a favorite pillow.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Like I have a pillow that I've had since like
eighth grade, and I just changed the cover.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
It's the same pillow. It has lumps in it, and
it just hits well.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
I was wondering why when I stayed I stayed at
Kiki's house recently in the guests room, and there were
there were some jeans and a thong inside the pillow
case that it turns out she'd just been traveling, so
that was the thong. It was strange, it was weird,
it was clean, that was just nice, tenderest struggling you guys.
I never thought I would say this, not because single
people aren't using dating apps, but because people, I guess
the younger generations don't hook up anymore.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Is that true? Can somebody text me or call me
and verify this?
Speaker 1 (06:39):
If you're gen Z or whatever, maybe if you're between
I don't know, twenty and thirty let's call that, or
a younger generation or twenty and thirty five. Is it
true that people don't hook up anymore?
Speaker 4 (06:51):
I believe it because they're not at the clubs, they're
not drinking as much.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Obviously, I don't think they're like smoking cigarettes. I think
that died in thoroughly two thousands.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
I don't know vaping or whether there's zen or zen
or what are those things that people is the zyn
that is the little pouches of the stick in it.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
I don't know either. I don't do it.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
But they're quiet quitting their jobs. I don't know. I
really don't know.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
It sounds to me like they are honestly so different
than like what we're used to growing up, just as people.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Like a lot of my friend's kids who have graduated
high school recently, I don't I honestly don't think that
they're getting it on.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Really.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Like a friend of one friend of mine's kids graduated
and I and she's pretty and smart and all the things.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
I just don't think she cares. I don't.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
I think she'd rather sit in a room and play
video games or like or talk to people virtually as
opposed to actually going out and doing all this stuff.
I mean, man, I was trying to score, like this
is the moment I knew what it was. I was like,
how do I got mean? Twelve years old? I'm twelve
year old friends, like can I make out with you?
Speaker 2 (07:52):
You know?
Speaker 1 (07:52):
I don't know, And but I feel like it has
to do with people's expectations of communicating and in person communication.
But the new CEO of Tinder is trying to revamp
the app's image because he's struggling to gain traction among
gen zs, the ages of eighteen to twenty eight. He
says that it's not a hookup generation. They don't drink
(08:13):
as much alcohol, they don't have as much sex, and
that's a problem for Tinder. In a recent poll of
single people on dating apps WAPPING, eighty five percent say
that they don't use Tinder because of its reputation for hookups.
The CEO is trying to adapt by shifting the focus
to casual meetups, including double dating, which is rolling out
this summer, and improving equality of matches to encourage more
(08:34):
lasting relationships. Someone said, no, but we're getting our hose
from Facebook and Instah.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
Oh, I thought Snapchat for sure, Like I thought Snapchat
was there their tender.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Now Somebody else said no, we're still drinking too much
and going out on one night stands. Oh okay, well
never mind, I guess everything is fine and I'm curious,
I really am curious. If you're between the ages of
eighteen and twenty aid and you you don't have any
context of what, uh, you know, previous generations we're doing,
(09:07):
then do you really feel like you're that different?
Speaker 2 (09:10):
And why?
Speaker 1 (09:10):
And is it because there's this propensity just to rely
on on virtual communication or you know, I don't know,
online communication or texting or not being in person. Yeah,
because my friend was even you know, his daughter's about
to go off to college, and I mean, and she's
a lovely human being, and it's like he's like, why
am I sending her away to college? She's probably gonna
sit in her room and talk to her friends in
(09:31):
her computer in the dorm, So like, why why am
I paying to send her to somewhere else to do that?
Because and there's nothing wrong with it, but it's like
that's what's I guess that's what's going on for a
bunch of folks.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
Hey Leila, Hi, how's it going? Hi?
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Leila? How old are you?
Speaker 5 (09:49):
I am twenty one?
Speaker 2 (09:50):
You're twenty one? And is this true?
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Like would you get on Tinder and match with somebody
and go hook up with them?
Speaker 5 (09:56):
Honestly?
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Like I can't do it.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
I'm I really want to stay home. I just want
a friends of king, like, don't move wrong like I
do in your clubs party? But hoo does? I mean
it's just become like something.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
To where it's not as fun as it used to be,
as as fun as you guys experienced it.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Why do you think that is? Why do you mean
it's the same activity. I believe we're all doing it
the same way since the dawn of time, since to
Adam and Eve.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Honestly, it just the mindset that it is now these days,
it's just different.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
You guys are more like fun.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Like I think it's technology that really took effect in everything.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Okay, would you ever like, how would you feel if
a random man walked you know, I make it so
like like not a predatory guy, a guy that you
would be interested in, Like a random stranger walks up
to you and asks you on a date. How does
that make you feel to hear that sentence? Is that
like yaky and weird?
Speaker 5 (10:50):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (10:51):
No?
Speaker 5 (10:51):
I mean it's okay. I mean, because it's you know,
we are used to that.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
But it just depends on how the person comes up
to me, how they.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
Present themselves you know, because a lot can you can
leadice a lot through a facial expression, through how they
talk and everything.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
So it's more respect, more boundaries, more knowing that they're
not just there.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
To hook up because it's just hook up an econ.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Let's be for real, Let's be for real. Hey Laila, no,
thank you. I appreciate that your perspective.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Have a good day.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
This is kind of cool.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
I'm kind of not mad at it because I feel
like that generation too, like the Gens as I call
them the gen Z, They're a very like know you're
worth kind of era. I know it's problematic because like
a lot of them need to like work harder. But
I think what they do, though, is they kind of
come with this like I'm not accepting this job. I'm
not gonna do this hook up. I'm not I don't
want to drink and feel gross tomorrow. Like we did
not care. We wanted to experience every single feeling and
(11:48):
we still do probably, But you know, I think they
kind of come.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
In high of just like, no, I'm not doing this
from the go, That's how I feel.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
But I don't.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
As a guy who's been single for a long time,
my whole life really like I I'm just overexposed to
it all.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Like I, I've had enough to drink.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
It's long past sort of going out and you know
we can't do it getting hammered or whatever is like,
is long past entertaining. And then the hookup stuff. I
mean I've done again, I haven't been in long term
relationships like overstimulated, Like yeah, but for me, it's just
I've experienced enough of it. I don't really want to
do it anymore. But if you're gen Z, if you're
twenty years old, then you haven't experienced much of anything yet,
(12:25):
which is not your fault. You just haven't been around
that long, so it's not that you know. But it's
like and again, I mean, is this generation Are they
that much smarter than we were? Are they that much
more sensitive? Are they that much smarter than we? Because
I don't know. I mean I would say some of
this stuff that that's like the quiet quitting thing. I
don't think that's necessarily smart. No, I mean, that's not
smart at all. But I'm not calling the generation stupid.
(12:46):
But if in fact that to trend, I wouldn't argue
that that's necessarily a great idea choice right right. That
is not a great so I wouldn't say that universally.
But again, I don't know if that's I wouldn't say
every gen Z listening it's going to work today saying
I'm going to do nothing until they fire me, you know.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Not at all. No, there's some really greatly hard working ones.
We have Urbella here.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
But I'm just saying I think that they are learning
early like certain things. I think that they are are
saying no at an early age, or they're doing things
earlier than we did.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
That makes any sense, No.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Okay, I still think it has to do with the
expectation of physical contact. Yeah, because again, like when we
were younger, there was no way to avoid talking. You
couldn't talk. You could not talk to anyone. Then you
didn't have any friends. Yeah, there was no substitute. We
didn't have apps like Insight.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
I can't.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Yeah, I can't just go online and make friends all
over the world and I never have to meet and
never have to come face to face with them.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
You know.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
I couldn't rely on texting or rely on other things,
you know, if you wanted to talk to somebody back
in the nineties, yeah, yea, and the man the nineties,
you had to actually walk up to somebody.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
In the mall.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
Yeah, And we also kind of feel, going off of
what you were saying about, I'm kind of over like
the drinking whatever, or like I'm not going to get
hammered at this age anymore. I think we also kind
of started early, didn't we For the most part.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Yeah, we started early. Like they weren't.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
I don't know if you guys are, but they weren't
in the clubs at like, you know, eighteen years old,
like we were with our fake id's.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
I don't see them like that anymore. They'll make them
like they used to.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Society is a toxic waste imp somebody texted someone else.
I teach high school. Their horny as ever now. But
that's that's just like that's human nature. It's just a
matter of are you acting on it now? Hey, I'm Michael.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
I tried it's uncle Benny Michael to first thing. But good.
I agree completely with everything you're saying. I was talking
earlier back in twenty fifteen. I remember when Tinderhead the
part where you could travel to this you could set
your city, and I remember bruning in for work and
I would have a match that day, hooking up with
(14:40):
somebody and the culture. I'm thirty two now. Culture has
completely changed in the last ten years. You're a spot
on Nobody Want. I have buddies that are on these apps.
There's nothing happening whatsoever. It's a generational thing. Nobody's going out,
nobody's drinking, nobody's you know, messing aroun It's a total
(15:01):
different culture. In twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Five, Michael, thank you man, have a good day.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
Take care.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Glad you called Nathan Fielder. Of course I've been on
this Nathan Fielder kick a week because of the rehearsal.
But he in one of the Q and a's. I
don't know the context, but he was talking about how
when people say things are cringe and now he's an
awkward guy, but he was like, you know people who
say the things that people say are cringed, that certain
generations say are cringed today, Like, how do you survive
(15:27):
if you think that that's cringe? Like do you how
do you exist in some were walking up to you
and saying hello, someone smiling at you, someone engaging with you,
that's cringe, Like, well, how do you walk around like
I mean, I don't know it's it's it's pretty nuts skittles.
I'll wrap this up skills. Consumers in the US may
notice a subtle change in the candy because Mars has
(15:49):
removed a color additive link to health concerns. Titanium dioxide
was banned in the European Union in twenty twenty two,
but it is permitted in the US, but Mars said
it nevertheless stopped using the ingredient in US production before
the end of last year. I said, that doesn't sound
delicious titanium dioxide sports, because Jason, I know you're just
(16:10):
you're in the entertainment realm today filling it for Kanlin,
so you don't have time. The NBA Playoffs, the Oklahoma
City Thunder beat the Timberwolves of.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
Ooh Wolves live in Tallahassee.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Yeah, no Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
So the the Oklahoma City Thunder headed to the NBA
Finals and they will meet either the Pacers or the Knicks.
And the NHL Playoffs, the defending champion Panthers are heading
back to the Stanley Cup Finals. Shout out to Jason
Carr here. It's actually last night. He's so excited with
the five to three game five win over the Hurricanes.
The Panthers will face the winner of the Western Final
(16:47):
between Dallas and Edmonton Edmonton ooh Eagles, oilers, so close.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
So close.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
And then I have a controversial food story. We'll get
to it later though, because this is a little bit strange.
I don't know why it's strange, but it is in
fact strange. We'll do it in just a second. Ex
National five twenty nine day helps save for a child's future,
or like some of my friends have done, coll mangle
the funds.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
And put them in your own checking account. The entertainment
of fort is next. Friends show is done.
