Ever found yourself staring blankly at something that absolutely refuses to make sense? You're not alone. In this hilarious and relatable episode, we dive headfirst into life's most persistent mysteries – those things we just don't get no matter how many times they're explained.
Retirement savings limitations kick off our confusion tour. Why, when you're finally making enough money to seriously save for retirement, does the government cap how much you can put away tax-free? This leads us down the rabbit hole of unnecessarily complicated tax systems. We've all seen the memes about the IRS making you guess what you owe – but the frustrating reality isn't far off!
The conversation takes a turn toward the automotive when we ponder why anyone would want their car to be louder with dual mufflers, or trucks to be higher with lift kits. Is there a practical purpose, or is it just about making a statement? Either way, we remain thoroughly perplexed.
Things get particularly entertaining when we explore modern slang terms that leave older generations completely bewildered. From "gyat" to "sigma males" to the completely nonsensical "chicken jockey" (apparently something you randomly shout to disrupt quiet moments?), we attempt to decipher the code of Gen Z communication with mixed results. Our conclusion? Maybe every generation creates linguistic barriers specifically to confuse their elders.
We also touch on the psychology behind internet trolls, the importance of establishing family "safe words" to protect against sophisticated AI scams, and why meaningful change to broken systems faces such strong resistance. Through it all, we find comfort and humor in our shared confusion.
Want to join the conversation? Share the things that leave you scratching your head with us on social media, or submit your own questions for a future episode! And remember – sometimes the best response to life's mysteries is simply "chicken jockey."

Speaker 1 (00:01):
All right, ooh, look, I got that.
Wow, who wants some heads upright now?
We got that.
Turn it up loud.
I know you're wondering how Igot that.
Wow, here I go, here I go,coming.
I can't ever stop.
I'm a tour de force running.
Get me to the top.
I don't need an embassy.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Hi ladies, Hello darlings, Hello, hello and hello
to all our listeners andviewers.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
This is Three Cocktails In and we have another
episode of AddictingConversation.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Yeah, Looking forward to Conversation.
Yeah, looking forward to thisone.
Yeah, we'll see how this goes.
So before we started and wehave our little chat ahead of
time we were talking about theweather.
Why does the weather go from?
You know right, this time ofyear we go from 50 to 80 to 60
(01:08):
to 85, back and forth all thetime.
And we were talking that Kittyand I have turned our heat and
cooling on and off.
Amy's stuck with one.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Yeah, so because I live in this giganto building
and it was built in 1965, thereis either the heat is on and you
have individual controls inyour condo, or the air is on and
you know, when we had the 85degree weather it usually we
(01:41):
usually set switch it over likeend of April, beginning of May.
Yeah, usually have like 10 daysof neutral where nothing is
coming out either way.
Well, now we're on the air andI haven't had anything turned on
and I bet it's 62 degrees inhere.
I'm drinking tea, for God'ssake.
That will tell you how awfulthis is.
(02:02):
I never drink tea, yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Mostly I'm warming my hands.
Yeah, yeah, again a questionthat we just cannot answer, and
that is the segue into today'spodcast, our questions we have.
Some might be answered, somemay not not be answered.
Yeah, these are the things wethink about and yeah, we don't
(02:32):
understand, we don't get it.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
No we do not get it, and even though there is an
answer like like for one of minethat we're going to talk about,
I know that I can Google it andfind the answer for it, but
that doesn't mean that I stilldon't get it.
You can explain it to me allyou want, but it still doesn't
make sense.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
My things are very philosophical in nature.
Where I'm not sure there is anacceptable answer Rhetorical.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Yeah, yeah, just question.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Yeah, things to make you think, things to make you
think and maybe, hopefully,things to make you maybe, maybe
act differently or responddifferently in those situations.
Sometimes, I think awarenesscan be a battle.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Awareness is the best place to start in all things,
yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
I'm aware I don't know a lot of things.
We're all aware of similar.
Which I don't know no.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
How much you don't know, we're aware.
So much better than just beinga know-it-all right, so that's
good.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
For sure, yes, yes.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Yeah, okay, ts up, kitty, what do you got?
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Okay.
So this is top of mind becauseBill just retired and so it's
kind of come up in conversations, not just recently but over the
years, as we've prepared forretirement.
And you know, the irony of thesituation that I'm going to lay
(04:16):
out here is that as you progressin your career and you're
making more money, you areactually in a position to sock
away a lot of money forretirement.
Right, that's what, that'shopefully what you're doing, so
that you can retire comfortably.
Okay, but the government putsthese restraints on it,
(04:42):
constraints on it that says youcan only deposit this much money
into retirement accounts.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Tax-free.
You can put more in, you cansave.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
You can save whatever you want, like for a 401k or
you know, et cetera.
You're right, you are correct.
So why?
Why, I mean, and especially forpeople who you're not working
for a company that has a pensionand you will completely be
dependent on what you have savedfor retirement, and if social
(05:17):
security is still around, okay,why do they limit what you can
put in?
Speaker 2 (05:26):
um, why do they limit what you can put in Well?
I, I'm guessing that is theanswer.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
It's the pre-tax thing.
They want more taxes from you.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Yeah, where's my bell ?
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Hey, that's a good one, and I there are.
There are a few topics that wepurposely don't cover here.
We don't talk about politics,we don't talk about religion.
We're kind of on the edge ofthis one with this topic.
But I don't know, it's just, itjust seems with this topic.
But I don't know, it's just, itjust seems.
Yeah, it just seems like therecould be a better, a better way,
a better way there certainlycould be, yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
So that's one, that's one that I have which is a
perfect segue to number two thatyou have.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
My number two is why the hell are taxes so freaking,
complicated?
It's stressful for everybody.
Yeah, you know, not everybodycan do their own taxes.
Wouldn't it be nice if youdidn't have to pay a tax person
to do your taxes?
(06:42):
You didn't have to pay a taxperson to do your taxes, but man
it's complicated, yeah, why?
Speaker 2 (06:56):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Should be pretty easy .
But oh no, yeah, and it's notfoolproof.
And you know, there's the funnymemes out there that there's
one woman I haven't seen anyfrom her lately, but she's the
one that always does the reallyshe takes the everyday thing and
then pretends to be the personon the other line, and she was
(07:24):
talking about how you have topay your taxes.
And they know exactly how muchthey want you to pay, but they
won't tell you, so they make youguess.
Nope, still not right.
Try it again.
Still not right.
Try it again.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Try it again.
That is not right.
That is about right.
That is right, yeah, yeah.
So I don't know.
Taxes are dumb, they're justdumb, unnecessary evil to keep
(07:54):
society moving forth.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Yes, there is a point , doesn't mean they're not.
Um, the method by which we yeah, poor, poor implementation,
yeah, I don't know, nobody likeschange.
That is another commonality.
Nobody likes change.
Therefore, anything that isbrought to the forefront, that
(08:17):
is a change, a new idea, a newmethod immediately is met with
oh, no right.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Right, and usually the people against it are the
most vocal.
That's often the problem too.
You know you're going to fightlike crazy against it.
The people for it, you know,weren't as vocal.
I've always thought with taxesit's been really funny, you know
(08:47):
.
I don't know if you've alsoexperienced this, but when your
kids get to the point wherethey're, you know, making money
or have a job, and then they seeall this, you know well, I
thought I was going to get paidwhatever.
And then you know half of itdisappears and you know all
these taxes and social securityand stuff that comes out of it.
(09:09):
I just think it's funny, youknow, when they see the real
yeah, how it really works.
Welcome to adulthood.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Still one of the classic Friends episodes when
Rachel gets her first check fromthe coffee shop and she wants
to know who FICA is and why he'staking all of her money.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Love that I know.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Oh goodness.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
All right, who's got another, who's got one?
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Would you like me to throw out one of my rhetorical
questions?
Sure, I do not understand carswith two mufflers.
Why, why, why do you need andwant your car to be louder?
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Amy, because it's cool.
It's cool Same reason why theytake trucks and like, jack them
up.
What's the point of that?
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Yeah, I don't get it.
I don't get it.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
No, I don't either.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
So if any of our listeners or viewers know the
answer to that question, so ifany of our listeners or viewers
know the answer, to thatquestion, to these and other
questions, please do um submityour answers.
Um, we could have you know.
We could have bill speak to thetopic of putting a lift kit on
a truck, because that's totallyhis whole what, what, even
(10:43):
what's a lift kit?
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Yeah we don't know that, yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
So it just lifts it a little bit more, and then you
would put some bigger tires onit also.
So you just make it.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
You can make this truck just a little bit more
manly got it, and then you needto get out the stair step so
that people who are kitty sizecan get in?
Yeah, how does kitty get in oneof those, that's a manly truck
when it has stairs or like a youknow, a fire escape ladder that
(11:23):
you gotta drop down the side soyou can get in and out.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Well, you know a lot of the trucks that are $100,000
now.
You know to buy a pickup truck,open the door and the little
stair step thing you know.
Yeah, lowers, lowers, it's likelittle people.
Yeah, lowers, lowers, yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
So Bill doesn't like come around and like scoop you
up out of the truck to get youdown.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Um he will always me to get in Um.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
I don't wait for him to come around and lift me down
from.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
I think he should Come around and back up and you
should get on him like apiggyback ride To the house.
I think that would be excellent.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
I just thought of one more thing I'm adding to my
list.
If he's going to have this big,giant truck with a lift kit
yeah, I think that needs to beThen he needs to lift kit, yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
I think that needs to be.
Then he needs to lift kit outof the truck.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
I'm going to run that by him.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
I'm going to run it by him too.
We'll see what he says.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
I think that I'm going to make another really
good lifelong friend of ahusband of somebody on this show
.
Batty me to the front, thereyou go.
Yeah, all right.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
What do I have?
I have the weirdest shit.
Oh good, because I couldn'tdecide really what to do and
usually I feel like a lot of ouryou know things we don't get,
are things online or technology,or why are kids doing this
(13:12):
weird stuff, or whatever.
So I did my usual.
You know, I picked my 21 yearold nephew and asked him some
questions.
Right, I wanted five words.
You know slang type stuff thatthey use, that he uses that.
You know people, his age I'mnot talking 12 year olds and
(13:32):
we're not right.
So, college age kids, whatslangy weird words do you use
and what do they mean?
Right?
Well, at first he wouldn't tellme what they meant.
He says well, google it.
I Googled and I used AI andthey all had different, even
meanings for the same thing.
(13:53):
So if that wasn't confusingenough, right, wasn't confusing
enough, right?
So finally, after all that, Igot him, you know, to say okay,
well, what is, what do you thinkis the meaning?
And, assuming that he's correct, right, you know we've talked,
(14:17):
you've talked about this kittybecause, um, you know you get
called cringe and you know susand all this kind of stuff which
we kind of know.
But he came up with some likeif you've ever heard ghiat, have
you heard ghiat?
So I think most people knowthat one.
He said that and that means afat butt.
Why I have never heard that?
Speaker 1 (14:36):
no, I've not heard it in that way I haven haven't
heard it at all.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
Yep, okay, yep.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Okay, yep, sigma.
Do you know what Sigma is?
Speaker 3 (14:49):
It refers to men who are not alpha macho men.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Supposedly better than alpha is what I was told to
, but keep going.
Yep, yep, not alpha.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Why would sigma be better than alpha?
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Or above, alpha is what I don't know, but keep
going.
So what's your sigma?
I don't know.
Yeah, you're right, it's refersto a man, um, kind of the lone
wolf, successful original thugs,original type guy who's so cool
(15:35):
that he doesn't need to have agirlfriend or or a partner.
Is just that cool.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Again, doesn't he also not need the approval of
other alpha?
Speaker 2 (15:48):
males.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Like like what I understood it to be was you know
if somebody is telling youthey're an alpha male?
They're probably not, you knowyeah.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
I think anybody that has to tell you what they not?
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Yeah, I think anybody that has to tell you what they
are probably isn't.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
And.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
I thought that Sigma was somebody who's like I'm good
as I am, I'm all cool, I don'tcare.
So I think in many ways, sigmamales are very attractive,
except they don't really want tobe women in their life.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Yes, exactly Something along those lines.
Or other people think they'reSigma.
Yeah, again, weird, it doesn'tmake any sense.
Okay, how about PacWatch?
Never heard of that?
I know I hadn't either, butsupposedly they say this all the
(16:44):
time it refers to.
You know, it's something yousay when something unfortunate
happens.
You know, but you're making funof it, kind of so, like, for
instance, if somebody dropstheir ice cream on the floor,
(17:04):
you say pack watch.
Or pack watch bozo.
You know, kind of like you'renot feeling sorry for the bad
situation.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Those words don't even make sense together.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
It's not exactly, does not make sense, exactly,
and yeah, and I think my kind ofmy point is why, right, why do
we make up these words?
You know are they are, you know?
Do you do?
Do you make up slang so anolder generation doesn't
(17:35):
understand what the heck you'resaying?
And it's code, or yeah, exactlythat's my question why?
Speaker 4 (17:44):
hmm, now I'm trying to think about 80s things that
we said well I I remember Iremember the term sick that's's
really sick Back in the 70s itwould have been before high
(18:05):
school, because I remember mysister saying it and that has
kind of come back a little bit.
I've heard millennials say thatand I remember the older
generation being like sick, why?
Why are you?
You know?
(18:25):
What a weird word to use forwell.
Actually, now I'm trying toremember what, how, how it was
used back then.
Was it as in?
Speaker 3 (18:36):
that's gross or that's not good, or that's good
yeah, because that's the recentterm, so I don't know I remember
when the girls were younger umthe word ratchet was used.
Oh, as in like gross andhorrible, like.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
Nurse.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Ratched.
Oh Okay, I'm not sure how manyof them ever watched the movie.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, like they even know thereference, mm-hmm.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
So again things.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
We don't know why it.
It's odd, because a lot oftimes aren't slang terms usually
shorter phrases for somethingor shorter words for something
like sus, yeah, um, but what wasthe riz or riz?
What was?
So?
What was the one that you werejust saying?
Speaker 3 (19:39):
Hackwatch, hackwatch.
That's not even a word.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Yeah, I know, right, yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
I think, Brody has set you up to sound foolish.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
He's going to listen to this episode and he is going
to laugh.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Yeah, my aunt's an idiot.
She doesn't know what she'stalking about.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Okay, I think the funny part of this story was how
you asked him first and thenyou lost his answers.
Which ties into the other part.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Yeah, I sent him a new list.
He had to send it to me.
He goes.
Well, you look it up first.
And he said I had two right,two out of the five, and I think
I had three out of the fiveright, and again, I'm Googling
and whatever.
So that's the whole thing too.
If you wanted to know somethings, you may not get the
right one either, but here's theone.
(20:36):
I really do not understand.
If you thought Pack pack watchwas weird, how about?
Speaker 3 (20:45):
chicken jockey.
Isn't that from the?
Isn't that from a?
Speaker 2 (20:47):
movie?
Yeah, it's, it can't.
It comes from minecraft.
You know, of course, somethingthat we wouldn't watch and
they're all crazy about, right,um, and it literally is
something about a baby zombiethat rides a chicken, so that's
the jockey on the chicken, andit's a weird, very, you know,
(21:12):
barely ever seen in minecraft oreven I don't know.
Is Minecraft a game?
I assume it's a game too.
Yeah, hard to ever find or seeor whatever Like the unicorn.
Unicorn of the game?
Sure, something like that.
But what's happening is theywill just yell out chicken
(21:35):
jockey and Brody says it doesn'tmean anything, you know.
And so I kept asking him allthese questions, well then why?
And he goes I don't know,people just yell it out.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
so I'll use that at my next sales meeting when we
discuss some of these thingsthat we just talked about
earlier.
I'm gonna yell from the backchicken jockey.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Chicken jockey and see what happens, because that's
, I think, what they're doing soit's like disruptive and oh,
that's good for me yeah, yeah.
So you know sadly as much as Ican understand about the whole
stupid thing.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
So I would have to write a note on my planner for
when I'm sitting in the meeting,so I remember remember to yell
chicken jockey.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Yes, exactly.
So.
So that was part of it.
I said you mean it's like anexclamation, he goes.
No, not really it goes, it'slike bazinga.
And it's like well, wait aminute, bazinga means like
gotcha you know, like they hadit on big bang theory Bazinga.
It's like gotcha, you know.
Like when they had it on BigBang Theory Bazinga, he would
say that it's kind of like a youknow a gotcha.
(22:44):
No, not like that.
It's like you got me then,because I'm not following
Chicken Jockey.
But I think that's the test.
Go into you know, I don't knowa restaurant, just yell Chicken
Jockey and see what happens.
I don't know, it's a test.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
Next time you get a bill and you don't like it, it
doesn't matter, chicken jockey,give it back to them.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Right, yeah, I don't know.
So again, things that we justdon't understand and can't
understand, right.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
I'm going to say it to Bo and see what he says.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
See if he yes, See if he knows yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
I do think that some of it's got to be regional, Like
everybody's got differentdialects Southern twang, I think
.
Pack watch is a an Iowa.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
It could be yeah, see , see what Bo knows, or see what
his friends know, and see whatthe difference is.
Which is true like oofta.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
nobody in iowa has ever in their lifetime said
oofta and I'd I've never saidoofta either, because I I grew
up in iowa and moved toMinnesota, but people actually
say it as a real phrase.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
As a response, it's not really a phrase, isn't it?
Speaker 2 (24:09):
more of a North Dakota thing.
Oh, I was even thinking it'sScandinavian.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Yeah, scandinavian is what it is.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
So yes, north Dakotans are Norwegian.
You know, you've got theNorwegian Swedish people in
Minnesota and I don't know aboutWisconsin.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
Just for clarity, stacy, could you please use pack
watch in a statement in asentence.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Well, that's all you say is pack watch.
Or, like, like brody said, theysay pack watch bozo, so you do
something unfortunate.
Or, you know, say you trip andfall down.
Right, yeah, and so they're notgetting any sympathy for what
(25:00):
happens.
It's like you know, oh, packwatch, pack watch, because
you're a ding-a-ling, or youknow.
Does that make sense?
Like I said, I know right.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
No, I hear what you're saying, but no, it
doesn't make sense.
No, it doesn't make sense.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Yeah, okay, but no, it doesn't make sense.
Yeah, okay.
So I would say yeah, we wouldsay something silly like oh way
to go ding-a-ling or say youknow it's.
I think that move smooth, yeah,way to go you know that was,
yeah, that kind of thing butthen chicken jockey is just
something that you blurt out asif you have to I guess, just to
disrupt the thing I'm I onething that I googled talked
(25:50):
about how you know, like in amovie theater, you know it's
real quiet and everybody'swatching and some, you know,
yell out chicken jockey and theneverybody goes, everybody goes
crazy or something silly.
Okay, yeah, no, it doesn't haveto make sense.
Like I said, don't know, that'sthe question I I got a funny
(26:12):
comment from him, though, onanother question.
He, um, you know, it's kind oflike well, like well, what do
you want?
What do you want old people toknow?
And I said what do you want oldpeople like your mom to know,
who's I don't know 10 yearsyounger than me, right, and he
says, well, I wish old peoplewould understand technology.
(26:37):
And I kind of chuckled, yeah,yeah.
And I said, well, what about it?
You know, like AI, he goes, Iwish they would understand
what's fake.
You know things are fake Right.
And you know he said AI is apart of it.
Um, but also like the dumbthing when people.
(26:59):
Um, but also like the dumbthing when people.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Oh, you know that message on facebook that people
copy and paste.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Oh yeah, now, now you , you won't see any more ads, or
?
You'll see all your friends, orI?
Speaker 3 (27:13):
I no longer give facebook permission to use my
photos.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Yes, that one.
He says that's, that's so dumb,like, why would you, you know?
Why are you falling for that?
That's not a thing.
Yeah, yeah, not a thing.
So I thought that was kind offunny.
Just don't pass it.
He thinks old people need to bebetter at better at figuring
that out.
So yeah, he's got a point.
(27:43):
He's not wrong.
No, he's not, he is not wrong.
So, whatever, yeah, so we'llsee if he laughs and gets a
chuckle out of this, because westill aren't coming to any real
you know answers on all theirsilly words.
So there you go.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
I still cannot come up with some that we used in
high school that didn't at leastsort of related to the
situation whereby we were usingthe word to the situation
whereby we were using the wordyeah, yeah, and a lot of theirs
do too.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Like that.
It's half a word, or you know.
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
Sounds like it.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Okay, anybody have anything else.
I have one more weird thing aswell.
Go ahead, kitty, what do yougot?
Speaker 4 (28:47):
so um so my business is 90 online and I do most of my
sales through Facebook and nowTikTok.
You guys, I am so happy toreport that, as of today, I have
earned 23 new customers onTikTok since May 1st.
(29:12):
Oh, that's awesome.
23 people have claimed jewelryand paid invoices.
So they're real.
They're real customers.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
I bet you're going to talk about the fake customer.
Yes, you can comment about it.
Speaker 4 (29:28):
What I don't understand is the people who
have so freaking much time ontheir hands that all they want
to do is go on to live videosand be ugly trolls.
Yeah, I don't understand.
What are you doing?
What are you?
What are you doing with yourlife?
And do you really think thatyou're hurting me by coming on
(29:53):
and acting like a normal personand claiming pieces and then
poof going away Like, do you?
Do you think that I'm going andI'm pulling all these pieces
and I'm putting, getting theminto a package and I'm getting
it ready to send out, but I'mwaiting for you to pay your?
No, no, not none of that.
So you, you, you, sitting on myshow for an hour and a half and
(30:18):
acting normal and commenting,you just wasted 90 minutes of
your life boosting my algorithm.
Thank you, Thank you.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Thank you, but it can be irritating.
It's not always like that.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
You know what I mean.
Yeah, yeah, it be irritating.
It's not always like that.
Yeah, yeah, it's.
Yeah, it is irritating,especially when they are vulgar
and mean they go after otherpeople on the show, right,
they'll comment on theircomments and say really horrible
, ugly things.
It's been a long time now sinceI've had those.
(31:00):
But, it's just yeah.
It's one of those things thatI'm just like I don't get.
I do not understand what wouldmotivate you to do that, why you
have nothing better to do.
Yeah, and how do you put yourhead on your pillow at night and
go to sleep and feel good aboutyourself?
Well, I think that's it.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
First of of all, they never feel good about
themselves, ever, yeah, um.
But also, are we sure they'rereal people?
Speaker 2 (31:31):
can a bot do that kind of thing?
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Oh, I'm sure yes, but that begs the question why
would you set up a bot to dothat, to do?
Speaker 2 (31:42):
it.
Well, it begs the question whyare there hackers?
Why do you have nothing betterto do than make somebody's life
miserable because you messaround with their whole?
You know businesses, you knowcomputer and whatever.
Why do people steal youridentity?
(32:03):
I think they're trying to makemoney at it, I'm sure, but yeah.
Speaker 4 (32:08):
Well, and there are.
There are enough people whofall for it that they are able
to.
That's, that's, that is howthey make money.
This is just a random thingthat I just thought of and I
need to.
I need to bring this up nexttime I'm with my mom and my
sister.
We should all have safe words.
(32:28):
Have you guys thought aboutthis before?
Speaker 2 (32:33):
For what?
Speaker 4 (32:34):
So let's.
So, let's say, because with AIgenerating voices and things
like that, some of the scamsthat are going on is that you'll
get a phone call and Staceywill get a phone call and it'll
be Madison and she's saying Mom,I'm in trouble and I need you
know, whatever, but it's notMadison.
(32:55):
And so Stacey's question isMadison, what's the word?
And so Stacy's question Madison, what's the word?
And then if this person, thisAI or a person on the other, end
of the phone doesn't have theword.
It's not Madison.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
And I think that would be a good use for chicken
jockey.
Yes, it would.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Well, not now, it's not.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
No, but that would make sense yeah.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
But I think that's really really smart.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
Yeah, that is a good idea.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
So that's another password I have to remember.
Yeah, am I going to have tochange it every time, whatever
it is?
Yep.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Yeah, oh yeah, another password I have to
remember.
Am I gonna have to change it?
Yep, yeah, oh yeah.
I've often thought that with mymom, and I'm sure that's what
you're thinking with your momtoo.
Oh, my mom would fall forwhatever.
She's always answering thephone and it's like why are you
answering that number that youhave?
It's not anybody you need totalk to.
At a 923 area code.
(34:00):
You have no idea who that wouldpossibly be.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
I have a business line and I have to and of course
they record and listen to myphone calls.
So I have to answer pretty muchall of them, because there are
some that come up as scam likelybut they are real people that
actually are trying to call um.
But I have found the best wayto shut down a lot of scammers
is to say you know it's a greatday at tires plus store and
(34:26):
click.
That's not what I say, but youknow, um yeah, so I hate that.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
Yeah, I know, I don't get it.
Don't get why there's thateither.
Makes no sense, no.
Speaker 4 (34:47):
It's like why can't people just be good people and
why can't everybody just getalong, and why do we have to
have wars?
Why are there evil people inthe world that just want to kill
people?
Just why don't?
Speaker 3 (35:03):
why don't thin mints make?
Speaker 2 (35:08):
us thin.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
To circle back to that one, why don't thin mints
make us thin?
Sure, certainly should yeahadvertising yeah, um, so stacy,
what was the other thing youwanted to bring up?
Speaker 2 (35:21):
I, you know, as we're getting close on time, I'm
going to give you the thing and,if interested, you Google it
and go down the weird Googlepath.
I did, but supposedly, like ajunior high age, kids are going
crazy over Italian brain rot.
Kids are going crazy overitalian brain rot and since
(35:44):
we're going to italy, I itcaught my you know attention so
I looked at it.
A weird, weird, weird aigenerated italian speaking
sounding characters in thisweird again yeah, I'm out I
don't need to know it's, butit's like I said, we just don't
happen to have junior high agekids, but some do.
(36:06):
I'm sure they're here in thesame weird kind of stuff like
pack watch and chicken jockey.
So just weird stuff, a lot ofstuff on the internet.
You know, I don't know how youmanage that with young children.
We didn't necessarily have thatissue, but people today do.
(36:28):
Yeah, huh, I know.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
Yeah, I can't wait to start using the phrase back in
my day.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
I know right Yep when life was simple.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
Life wasn't simpler.
There just was no videodocumentation.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
Yes, no social media to watch your every move.
Yep, that's right.
Okay, does anybody happen tohave a shot this evening?
Speaker 4 (37:03):
I don't have a shot.
Speaker 3 (37:04):
I started shrinking.
The second season of Shrinking.
Oh, I didn't know it was out.
I love it.
Yes, I think it's been.
Yes.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
Did it all come out together or is it doing episode
by episode?
Do you know?
Far, okay, it was just aquestion.
Yeah, I know, I can't wait.
How many episodes have youwatched?
Speaker 3 (37:35):
I just got through the first one and I laughed
hysterically.
Yeah, it really is funny.
So shrinking is on Apple TV andI laughed hysterically.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
Yeah, it really is funny.
So shrinking is on Apple TV, Ibelieve.
Yes, yes, yep.
So good, a good recommendation.
It's excellent yeah.
Speaker 4 (37:52):
I did start watching today.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
The original four seasons oh okay, okay.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
Did you watch the?
Speaker 4 (38:03):
new.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
Four Seasons?
Speaker 4 (38:05):
Not yet, so I wanted to watch the original first.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
Okay.
And then the new one, and thenthe new one.
Yeah, yes, very good.
Speaker 4 (38:14):
Excellent.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
How about our new segment, weird Stuff on the Web?
Anybody have a weird thing theysaw lately.
I I've got it.
Speaker 3 (38:26):
Actually this falls under both the cop, the topic of
conversation.
I don't.
I mean, I do get why, but Ifind it highly annoying.
So this also could go intoanother segment that we're
having coming up.
But people who stitch somebodyelse is real and all they do is
(38:49):
show themselves laughing aboutthe original one.
They don't say anything yeah,they're literally just.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
Yeah, it's side by side.
It would be like you, kitty,you're doing something funny and
I'm just sitting here laughinghysterically and that's it.
Speaker 3 (39:08):
And then it ends like you posted a reel that's
hysterical, and so I'm gonnajust post myself laughing about
your reel while you're doing it.
So I would like to ride yourcoattails.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
Without coming up with my own content.
Yeah, Yep.
And that's why.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
That exactly is why yeah.
Speaker 4 (39:36):
It's hard to create original content.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
It is, yeah, it's hard to create original content
Now the ones, the ones I do likewhich I saw last night was this
beautiful girl playing theweirdest guitar like instrument
I've ever seen, beautifully.
And then this guy you know it,like the his post is her going
(39:58):
all the way through just byherself and then he has like an
electric guitar type thing andthen the second time he plays
along with it and it wasbeautiful, that one I can get.
That's his content.
He's adding to what she wasdoing.
But yeah, the one where theyjust sit and laugh is weird,
yeah.
Speaker 3 (40:20):
I'm sure I've seen weird stuff, but I I didn't
earmark anything.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
Yeah, yeah, that's.
That's a weird thing.
Well, I don't know.
Are we ready to end this funnyepisode on things we don't
understand?
I don't know that we've learneda thing.
Have we, have we?
Did we learn anything in thisepisode?
Speaker 3 (40:41):
That begs the bigger question Do people learn things
by watching and listening to us?
On other episodes?
Speaker 2 (40:49):
I know right.
Is anybody learning anything?
Have we taught one singleimportant thing ever?
I now know what a lift kit isyeah, we did learn that.
Thank you, Kitty, forexplaining lift kit.
Speaker 4 (41:02):
I just find it very interesting that that is
something that I taught you.
Speaker 3 (41:08):
I was going to say that Kitty bringing in the truck
, knowledge, all of her, youknow yeah, all of my years
living with Bill.
Speaker 2 (41:22):
There you go.
Well, we could make that a newsegment.
Yeah, kitty teaches us somemanly thing.
I don't know um.
Speaker 4 (41:30):
Okay, well, let's see if I can remember the exact
words.
Can I tell you a funny storythat yeah?
please bill helped me.
So years ago, the agency that Iwas working for we had a client
and uh, it was oshkosh truckcorporation.
It was a billion dollar companyin wisconsin of their divisions
(41:55):
they manufactured tanks andlike war, war machinery
basically, and so we were onsite with them and I said to
Bill, give, give me something tosay to the client that they'll
really feel like, wow, she knowsher stuff.
(42:19):
So you know, we're in.
Speaker 3 (42:21):
What I want to know what you were wearing, Just to
really.
I mean, I'm envisioning thestilettos.
I see a print somewhere, jewelsblinged out.
Speaker 4 (42:34):
Yeah, exactly I was.
Yeah, I was in my normal attirefor that time of my life.
And so we're on themanufacturing floor and I'm
talking that they are buildingthese vehicles from the chassis
up.
Speaker 3 (42:52):
Chassis.
Oh, there you go, chassis,there we go.
Speaker 4 (42:56):
So we're standing there assembly going on and I
had to wait for the right momentand I leaned over to my client.
It was a dude and I said sowhat is this?
Uh, full rocker or limited slipdifferential?
Speaker 2 (43:20):
okay, before you answer.
Speaker 4 (43:22):
Yeah, before you answer, you know, bill could
have set you up, so that's no,he would not, he wouldn't set me
up, okay, and I practiced itover, which is obviously why I
can still remember it today.
I practiced it over and overand over and he looked at me and
(43:46):
he goes I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (43:51):
Laughter laughter, laughter you were so good.
Oh my gosh, it was so good.
Speaker 4 (44:01):
I was so proud of myself.
Yeah, impressive well done.
Speaker 2 (44:06):
Yes, all research is is good, doesn't matter if
you're going on spent yep goingto try to catch a client.
Research is king, yep.
Speaker 4 (44:24):
All right.
Well, what are we talking aboutnext?
Speaker 2 (44:25):
week.
Thank you for that story Nextweek, I don't know.
Am I supposed to know?
Yeah, yeah, I don't know.
I'm supposed to know.
Like I said, we have pet peevescoming up.
What said?
We have pet peeves coming up?
Yeah, what else do we?
Speaker 3 (44:43):

I'm a tour de force running.
Get me to the top.
I don't need an invitation,knock, knock.
I'm about to start acelebration, let me in.
Brought a good time for somefriends.
Turn it up loud past ten.
All right, ooh, look, I got that.
Wow, who wants some heads upright now?
We got that.
Turn it up loud.
I know you're wondering how Igot that.
Wow, here I go, here I go,coming.
I can't ever stop.
I'm a tour de force running.
Get me to the top.
I don't need an embassy.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Hi ladies, Hello darlings, Hello, hello and hello
to all our listeners andviewers.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
This is Three Cocktails In and we have another
episode of AddictingConversation.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Yeah, Looking forward to Conversation.
Yeah, looking forward to thisone.
Yeah, we'll see how this goes.
So before we started and wehave our little chat ahead of
time we were talking about theweather.
Why does the weather go from?
You know right, this time ofyear we go from 50 to 80 to 60
(01:08):
to 85, back and forth all thetime.
And we were talking that Kittyand I have turned our heat and
cooling on and off.
Amy's stuck with one.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Yeah, so because I live in this giganto building
and it was built in 1965, thereis either the heat is on and you
have individual controls inyour condo, or the air is on and
you know, when we had the 85degree weather it usually we
(01:41):
usually set switch it over likeend of April, beginning of May.
Yeah, usually have like 10 daysof neutral where nothing is
coming out either way.
Well, now we're on the air andI haven't had anything turned on
and I bet it's 62 degrees inhere.
I'm drinking tea, for God'ssake.
That will tell you how awfulthis is.
(02:02):
I never drink tea, yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Mostly I'm warming my hands.
Yeah, yeah, again a questionthat we just cannot answer, and
that is the segue into today'spodcast, our questions we have.
Some might be answered, somemay not not be answered.
Yeah, these are the things wethink about and yeah, we don't
(02:32):
understand, we don't get it.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
No we do not get it, and even though there is an
answer like like for one of minethat we're going to talk about,
I know that I can Google it andfind the answer for it, but
that doesn't mean that I stilldon't get it.
You can explain it to me allyou want, but it still doesn't
make sense.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
My things are very philosophical in nature.
Where I'm not sure there is anacceptable answer Rhetorical.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Yeah, yeah, just question.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Yeah, things to make you think, things to make you
think and maybe, hopefully,things to make you maybe, maybe
act differently or responddifferently in those situations.
Sometimes, I think awarenesscan be a battle.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Awareness is the best place to start in all things,
yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
I'm aware I don't know a lot of things.
We're all aware of similar.
Which I don't know no.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
How much you don't know, we're aware.
So much better than just beinga know-it-all right, so that's
good.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
For sure, yes, yes.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Yeah, okay, ts up, kitty, what do you got?
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Okay.
So this is top of mind becauseBill just retired and so it's
kind of come up in conversations, not just recently but over the
years, as we've prepared forretirement.
And you know, the irony of thesituation that I'm going to lay
(04:16):
out here is that as you progressin your career and you're
making more money, you areactually in a position to sock
away a lot of money forretirement.
Right, that's what, that'shopefully what you're doing, so
that you can retire comfortably.
Okay, but the government putsthese restraints on it,
(04:42):
constraints on it that says youcan only deposit this much money
into retirement accounts.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Tax-free.
You can put more in, you cansave.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
You can save whatever you want, like for a 401k or
you know, et cetera.
You're right, you are correct.
So why?
Why, I mean, and especially forpeople who you're not working
for a company that has a pensionand you will completely be
dependent on what you have savedfor retirement, and if social
(05:17):
security is still around, okay,why do they limit what you can
put in?
Speaker 2 (05:26):
um, why do they limit what you can put in Well?
I, I'm guessing that is theanswer.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
It's the pre-tax thing.
They want more taxes from you.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Yeah, where's my bell ?
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Hey, that's a good one, and I there are.
There are a few topics that wepurposely don't cover here.
We don't talk about politics,we don't talk about religion.
We're kind of on the edge ofthis one with this topic.
But I don't know, it's just, itjust seems with this topic.
But I don't know, it's just, itjust seems.
Yeah, it just seems like therecould be a better, a better way,
a better way there certainlycould be, yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
So that's one, that's one that I have which is a
perfect segue to number two thatyou have.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
My number two is why the hell are taxes so freaking,
complicated?
It's stressful for everybody.
Yeah, you know, not everybodycan do their own taxes.
Wouldn't it be nice if youdidn't have to pay a tax person
to do your taxes?
(06:42):
You didn't have to pay a taxperson to do your taxes, but man
it's complicated, yeah, why?
Speaker 2 (06:56):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Should be pretty easy .
But oh no, yeah, and it's notfoolproof.
And you know, there's the funnymemes out there that there's
one woman I haven't seen anyfrom her lately, but she's the
one that always does the reallyshe takes the everyday thing and
then pretends to be the personon the other line, and she was
(07:24):
talking about how you have topay your taxes.
And they know exactly how muchthey want you to pay, but they
won't tell you, so they make youguess.
Nope, still not right.
Try it again.
Still not right.
Try it again.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Try it again.
That is not right.
That is about right.
That is right, yeah, yeah.
So I don't know.
Taxes are dumb, they're justdumb, unnecessary evil to keep
(07:54):
society moving forth.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Yes, there is a point , doesn't mean they're not.
Um, the method by which we yeah, poor, poor implementation,
yeah, I don't know, nobody likeschange.
That is another commonality.
Nobody likes change.
Therefore, anything that isbrought to the forefront, that
(08:17):
is a change, a new idea, a newmethod immediately is met with
oh, no right.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Right, and usually the people against it are the
most vocal.
That's often the problem too.
You know you're going to fightlike crazy against it.
The people for it, you know,weren't as vocal.
I've always thought with taxesit's been really funny, you know
(08:47):
.
I don't know if you've alsoexperienced this, but when your
kids get to the point wherethey're, you know, making money
or have a job, and then they seeall this, you know well, I
thought I was going to get paidwhatever.
And then you know half of itdisappears and you know all
these taxes and social securityand stuff that comes out of it.
(09:09):
I just think it's funny, youknow, when they see the real
yeah, how it really works.
Welcome to adulthood.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Still one of the classic Friends episodes when
Rachel gets her first check fromthe coffee shop and she wants
to know who FICA is and why he'staking all of her money.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Love that I know.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Oh goodness.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
All right, who's got another, who's got one?
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Would you like me to throw out one of my rhetorical
questions?
Sure, I do not understand carswith two mufflers.
Why, why, why do you need andwant your car to be louder?
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Amy, because it's cool.
It's cool Same reason why theytake trucks and like, jack them
up.
What's the point of that?
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Yeah, I don't get it.
I don't get it.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
No, I don't either.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
So if any of our listeners or viewers know the
answer to that question, so ifany of our listeners or viewers
know the answer, to thatquestion, to these and other
questions, please do um submityour answers.
Um, we could have you know.
We could have bill speak to thetopic of putting a lift kit on
a truck, because that's totallyhis whole what, what, even
(10:43):
what's a lift kit?
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Yeah we don't know that, yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
So it just lifts it a little bit more, and then you
would put some bigger tires onit also.
So you just make it.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
You can make this truck just a little bit more
manly got it, and then you needto get out the stair step so
that people who are kitty sizecan get in?
Yeah, how does kitty get in oneof those, that's a manly truck
when it has stairs or like a youknow, a fire escape ladder that
(11:23):
you gotta drop down the side soyou can get in and out.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Well, you know a lot of the trucks that are $100,000
now.
You know to buy a pickup truck,open the door and the little
stair step thing you know.
Yeah, lowers, lowers, it's likelittle people.
Yeah, lowers, lowers, yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
So Bill doesn't like come around and like scoop you
up out of the truck to get youdown.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Um he will always me to get in Um.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
I don't wait for him to come around and lift me down
from.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
I think he should Come around and back up and you
should get on him like apiggyback ride To the house.
I think that would be excellent.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
I just thought of one more thing I'm adding to my
list.
If he's going to have this big,giant truck with a lift kit
yeah, I think that needs to beThen he needs to lift kit, yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
I think that needs to be.
Then he needs to lift kit outof the truck.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
I'm going to run that by him.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
I'm going to run it by him too.
We'll see what he says.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
I think that I'm going to make another really
good lifelong friend of ahusband of somebody on this show
.
Batty me to the front, thereyou go.
Yeah, all right.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
What do I have?
I have the weirdest shit.
Oh good, because I couldn'tdecide really what to do and
usually I feel like a lot of ouryou know things we don't get,
are things online or technology,or why are kids doing this
(13:12):
weird stuff, or whatever.
So I did my usual.
You know, I picked my 21 yearold nephew and asked him some
questions.
Right, I wanted five words.
You know slang type stuff thatthey use, that he uses that.
You know people, his age I'mnot talking 12 year olds and
(13:32):
we're not right.
So, college age kids, whatslangy weird words do you use
and what do they mean?
Right?
Well, at first he wouldn't tellme what they meant.
He says well, google it.
I Googled and I used AI andthey all had different, even
meanings for the same thing.
(13:53):
So if that wasn't confusingenough, right, wasn't confusing
enough, right?
So finally, after all that, Igot him, you know, to say okay,
well, what is, what do you thinkis the meaning?
And, assuming that he's correct, right, you know we've talked,
(14:17):
you've talked about this kittybecause, um, you know you get
called cringe and you know susand all this kind of stuff which
we kind of know.
But he came up with some likeif you've ever heard ghiat, have
you heard ghiat?
So I think most people knowthat one.
He said that and that means afat butt.
Why I have never heard that?
Speaker 1 (14:36):
no, I've not heard it in that way I haven haven't
heard it at all.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
Yep, okay, yep.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Okay, yep, sigma.
Do you know what Sigma is?
Speaker 3 (14:49):
It refers to men who are not alpha macho men.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Supposedly better than alpha is what I was told to
, but keep going.
Yep, yep, not alpha.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Why would sigma be better than alpha?
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Or above, alpha is what I don't know, but keep
going.
So what's your sigma?
I don't know.
Yeah, you're right, it's refersto a man, um, kind of the lone
wolf, successful original thugs,original type guy who's so cool
(15:35):
that he doesn't need to have agirlfriend or or a partner.
Is just that cool.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Again, doesn't he also not need the approval of
other alpha?
Speaker 2 (15:48):
males.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Like like what I understood it to be was you know
if somebody is telling youthey're an alpha male?
They're probably not, you knowyeah.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
I think anybody that has to tell you what they not?
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Yeah, I think anybody that has to tell you what they
are probably isn't.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
And.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
I thought that Sigma was somebody who's like I'm good
as I am, I'm all cool, I don'tcare.
So I think in many ways, sigmamales are very attractive,
except they don't really want tobe women in their life.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Yes, exactly Something along those lines.
Or other people think they'reSigma.
Yeah, again, weird, it doesn'tmake any sense.
Okay, how about PacWatch?
Never heard of that?
I know I hadn't either, butsupposedly they say this all the
(16:44):
time it refers to.
You know, it's something yousay when something unfortunate
happens.
You know, but you're making funof it, kind of so, like, for
instance, if somebody dropstheir ice cream on the floor,
(17:04):
you say pack watch.
Or pack watch bozo.
You know, kind of like you'renot feeling sorry for the bad
situation.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Those words don't even make sense together.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
It's not exactly, does not make sense, exactly,
and yeah, and I think my kind ofmy point is why, right, why do
we make up these words?
You know are they are, you know?
Do you do?
Do you make up slang so anolder generation doesn't
(17:35):
understand what the heck you'resaying?
And it's code, or yeah, exactlythat's my question why?
Speaker 4 (17:44):
hmm, now I'm trying to think about 80s things that
we said well I I remember Iremember the term sick that's's
really sick Back in the 70s itwould have been before high
(18:05):
school, because I remember mysister saying it and that has
kind of come back a little bit.
I've heard millennials say thatand I remember the older
generation being like sick, why?
Why are you?
You know?
(18:25):
What a weird word to use forwell.
Actually, now I'm trying toremember what, how, how it was
used back then.
Was it as in?
Speaker 3 (18:36):
that's gross or that's not good, or that's good
yeah, because that's the recentterm, so I don't know I remember
when the girls were younger umthe word ratchet was used.
Oh, as in like gross andhorrible, like.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
Nurse.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Ratched.
Oh Okay, I'm not sure how manyof them ever watched the movie.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, like they even know thereference, mm-hmm.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
So again things.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
We don't know why it.
It's odd, because a lot oftimes aren't slang terms usually
shorter phrases for somethingor shorter words for something
like sus, yeah, um, but what wasthe riz or riz?
What was?
So?
What was the one that you werejust saying?
Speaker 3 (19:39):
Hackwatch, hackwatch.
That's not even a word.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Yeah, I know, right, yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
I think, Brody has set you up to sound foolish.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
He's going to listen to this episode and he is going
to laugh.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Yeah, my aunt's an idiot.
She doesn't know what she'stalking about.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Okay, I think the funny part of this story was how
you asked him first and thenyou lost his answers.
Which ties into the other part.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Yeah, I sent him a new list.
He had to send it to me.
He goes.
Well, you look it up first.
And he said I had two right,two out of the five, and I think
I had three out of the fiveright, and again, I'm Googling
and whatever.
So that's the whole thing too.
If you wanted to know somethings, you may not get the
right one either, but here's theone.
(20:36):
I really do not understand.
If you thought Pack pack watchwas weird, how about?
Speaker 3 (20:45):
chicken jockey.
Isn't that from the?
Isn't that from a?
Speaker 2 (20:47):
movie?
Yeah, it's, it can't.
It comes from minecraft.
You know, of course, somethingthat we wouldn't watch and
they're all crazy about, right,um, and it literally is
something about a baby zombiethat rides a chicken, so that's
the jockey on the chicken, andit's a weird, very, you know,
(21:12):
barely ever seen in minecraft oreven I don't know.
Is Minecraft a game?
I assume it's a game too.
Yeah, hard to ever find or seeor whatever Like the unicorn.
Unicorn of the game?
Sure, something like that.
But what's happening is theywill just yell out chicken
(21:35):
jockey and Brody says it doesn'tmean anything, you know.
And so I kept asking him allthese questions, well then why?
And he goes I don't know,people just yell it out.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
so I'll use that at my next sales meeting when we
discuss some of these thingsthat we just talked about
earlier.
I'm gonna yell from the backchicken jockey.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Chicken jockey and see what happens, because that's
, I think, what they're doing soit's like disruptive and oh,
that's good for me yeah, yeah.
So you know sadly as much as Ican understand about the whole
stupid thing.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
So I would have to write a note on my planner for
when I'm sitting in the meeting,so I remember remember to yell
chicken jockey.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Yes, exactly.
So.
So that was part of it.
I said you mean it's like anexclamation, he goes.
No, not really it goes, it'slike bazinga.
And it's like well, wait aminute, bazinga means like
gotcha you know, like they hadit on big bang theory Bazinga.
It's like gotcha, you know.
Like when they had it on BigBang Theory Bazinga, he would
say that it's kind of like a youknow a gotcha.
(22:44):
No, not like that.
It's like you got me then,because I'm not following
Chicken Jockey.
But I think that's the test.
Go into you know, I don't knowa restaurant, just yell Chicken
Jockey and see what happens.
I don't know, it's a test.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
Next time you get a bill and you don't like it, it
doesn't matter, chicken jockey,give it back to them.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Right, yeah, I don't know.
So again, things that we justdon't understand and can't
understand, right.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
I'm going to say it to Bo and see what he says.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
See if he yes, See if he knows yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
I do think that some of it's got to be regional, Like
everybody's got differentdialects Southern twang, I think
.
Pack watch is a an Iowa.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
It could be yeah, see , see what Bo knows, or see what
his friends know, and see whatthe difference is.
Which is true like oofta.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
nobody in iowa has ever in their lifetime said
oofta and I'd I've never saidoofta either, because I I grew
up in iowa and moved toMinnesota, but people actually
say it as a real phrase.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
As a response, it's not really a phrase, isn't it?
Speaker 2 (24:09):
more of a North Dakota thing.
Oh, I was even thinking it'sScandinavian.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Yeah, scandinavian is what it is.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
So yes, north Dakotans are Norwegian.
You know, you've got theNorwegian Swedish people in
Minnesota and I don't know aboutWisconsin.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
Just for clarity, stacy, could you please use pack
watch in a statement in asentence.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Well, that's all you say is pack watch.
Or, like, like brody said, theysay pack watch bozo, so you do
something unfortunate.
Or, you know, say you trip andfall down.
Right, yeah, and so they're notgetting any sympathy for what
(25:00):
happens.
It's like you know, oh, packwatch, pack watch, because
you're a ding-a-ling, or youknow.
Does that make sense?
Like I said, I know right.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
No, I hear what you're saying, but no, it
doesn't make sense.
No, it doesn't make sense.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Yeah, okay, but no, it doesn't make sense.
Yeah, okay.
So I would say yeah, we wouldsay something silly like oh way
to go ding-a-ling or say youknow it's.
I think that move smooth, yeah,way to go you know that was,
yeah, that kind of thing butthen chicken jockey is just
something that you blurt out asif you have to I guess, just to
disrupt the thing I'm I onething that I googled talked
(25:50):
about how you know, like in amovie theater, you know it's
real quiet and everybody'swatching and some, you know,
yell out chicken jockey and theneverybody goes, everybody goes
crazy or something silly.
Okay, yeah, no, it doesn't haveto make sense.
Like I said, don't know, that'sthe question I I got a funny
(26:12):
comment from him, though, onanother question.
He, um, you know, it's kind oflike well, like well, what do
you want?
What do you want old people toknow?
And I said what do you want oldpeople like your mom to know,
who's I don't know 10 yearsyounger than me, right, and he
says, well, I wish old peoplewould understand technology.
(26:37):
And I kind of chuckled, yeah,yeah.
And I said, well, what about it?
You know, like AI, he goes, Iwish they would understand
what's fake.
You know things are fake Right.
And you know he said AI is apart of it.
Um, but also like the dumbthing when people.
(26:59):
Um, but also like the dumbthing when people.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Oh, you know that message on facebook that people
copy and paste.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Oh yeah, now, now you , you won't see any more ads, or
?
You'll see all your friends, orI?
Speaker 3 (27:13):
I no longer give facebook permission to use my
photos.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Yes, that one.
He says that's, that's so dumb,like, why would you, you know?
Why are you falling for that?
That's not a thing.
Yeah, yeah, not a thing.
So I thought that was kind offunny.
Just don't pass it.
He thinks old people need to bebetter at better at figuring
that out.
So yeah, he's got a point.
(27:43):
He's not wrong.
No, he's not, he is not wrong.
So, whatever, yeah, so we'llsee if he laughs and gets a
chuckle out of this, because westill aren't coming to any real
you know answers on all theirsilly words.
So there you go.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
I still cannot come up with some that we used in
high school that didn't at leastsort of related to the
situation whereby we were usingthe word to the situation
whereby we were using the wordyeah, yeah, and a lot of theirs
do too.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Like that.
It's half a word, or you know.
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
Sounds like it.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Okay, anybody have anything else.
I have one more weird thing aswell.
Go ahead, kitty, what do yougot?
Speaker 4 (28:47):
so um so my business is 90 online and I do most of my
sales through Facebook and nowTikTok.
You guys, I am so happy toreport that, as of today, I have
earned 23 new customers onTikTok since May 1st.
(29:12):
Oh, that's awesome.
23 people have claimed jewelryand paid invoices.
So they're real.
They're real customers.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
I bet you're going to talk about the fake customer.
Yes, you can comment about it.
Speaker 4 (29:28):
What I don't understand is the people who
have so freaking much time ontheir hands that all they want
to do is go on to live videosand be ugly trolls.
Yeah, I don't understand.
What are you doing?
What are you?
What are you doing with yourlife?
And do you really think thatyou're hurting me by coming on
(29:53):
and acting like a normal personand claiming pieces and then
poof going away Like, do you?
Do you think that I'm going andI'm pulling all these pieces
and I'm putting, getting theminto a package and I'm getting
it ready to send out, but I'mwaiting for you to pay your?
No, no, not none of that.
So you, you, you, sitting on myshow for an hour and a half and
(30:18):
acting normal and commenting,you just wasted 90 minutes of
your life boosting my algorithm.
Thank you, Thank you.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Thank you, but it can be irritating.
It's not always like that.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
You know what I mean.
Yeah, yeah, it be irritating.
It's not always like that.
Yeah, yeah, it's.
Yeah, it is irritating,especially when they are vulgar
and mean they go after otherpeople on the show, right,
they'll comment on theircomments and say really horrible
, ugly things.
It's been a long time now sinceI've had those.
(31:00):
But, it's just yeah.
It's one of those things thatI'm just like I don't get.
I do not understand what wouldmotivate you to do that, why you
have nothing better to do.
Yeah, and how do you put yourhead on your pillow at night and
go to sleep and feel good aboutyourself?
Well, I think that's it.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
First of of all, they never feel good about
themselves, ever, yeah, um.
But also, are we sure they'rereal people?
Speaker 2 (31:31):
can a bot do that kind of thing?
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Oh, I'm sure yes, but that begs the question why
would you set up a bot to dothat, to do?
Speaker 2 (31:42):
it.
Well, it begs the question whyare there hackers?
Why do you have nothing betterto do than make somebody's life
miserable because you messaround with their whole?
You know businesses, you knowcomputer and whatever.
Why do people steal youridentity?
(32:03):
I think they're trying to makemoney at it, I'm sure, but yeah.
Speaker 4 (32:08):
Well, and there are.
There are enough people whofall for it that they are able
to.
That's, that's, that is howthey make money.
This is just a random thingthat I just thought of and I
need to.
I need to bring this up nexttime I'm with my mom and my
sister.
We should all have safe words.
(32:28):
Have you guys thought aboutthis before?
Speaker 2 (32:33):
For what?
Speaker 4 (32:34):
So let's.
So, let's say, because with AIgenerating voices and things
like that, some of the scamsthat are going on is that you'll
get a phone call and Staceywill get a phone call and it'll
be Madison and she's saying Mom,I'm in trouble and I need you
know, whatever, but it's notMadison.
(32:55):
And so Stacey's question isMadison, what's the word?
And so Stacy's question Madison, what's the word?
And then if this person, thisAI or a person on the other, end
of the phone doesn't have theword.
It's not Madison.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
And I think that would be a good use for chicken
jockey.
Yes, it would.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Well, not now, it's not.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
No, but that would make sense yeah.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
But I think that's really really smart.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
Yeah, that is a good idea.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
So that's another password I have to remember.
Yeah, am I going to have tochange it every time, whatever
it is?
Yep.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Yeah, oh yeah, another password I have to
remember.
Am I gonna have to change it?
Yep, yeah, oh yeah.
I've often thought that with mymom, and I'm sure that's what
you're thinking with your momtoo.
Oh, my mom would fall forwhatever.
She's always answering thephone and it's like why are you
answering that number that youhave?
It's not anybody you need totalk to.
At a 923 area code.
(34:00):
You have no idea who that wouldpossibly be.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
I have a business line and I have to and of course
they record and listen to myphone calls.
So I have to answer pretty muchall of them, because there are
some that come up as scam likelybut they are real people that
actually are trying to call um.
But I have found the best wayto shut down a lot of scammers
is to say you know it's a greatday at tires plus store and
(34:26):
click.
That's not what I say, but youknow, um yeah, so I hate that.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
Yeah, I know, I don't get it.
Don't get why there's thateither.
Makes no sense, no.
Speaker 4 (34:47):
It's like why can't people just be good people and
why can't everybody just getalong, and why do we have to
have wars?
Why are there evil people inthe world that just want to kill
people?
Just why don't?
Speaker 3 (35:03):
why don't thin mints make?
Speaker 2 (35:08):
us thin.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
To circle back to that one, why don't thin mints
make us thin?
Sure, certainly should yeahadvertising yeah, um, so stacy,
what was the other thing youwanted to bring up?
Speaker 2 (35:21):
I, you know, as we're getting close on time, I'm
going to give you the thing and,if interested, you Google it
and go down the weird Googlepath.
I did, but supposedly, like ajunior high age, kids are going
crazy over Italian brain rot.
Kids are going crazy overitalian brain rot and since
(35:44):
we're going to italy, I itcaught my you know attention so
I looked at it.
A weird, weird, weird aigenerated italian speaking
sounding characters in thisweird again yeah, I'm out I
don't need to know it's, butit's like I said, we just don't
happen to have junior high agekids, but some do.
(36:06):
I'm sure they're here in thesame weird kind of stuff like
pack watch and chicken jockey.
So just weird stuff, a lot ofstuff on the internet.
You know, I don't know how youmanage that with young children.
We didn't necessarily have thatissue, but people today do.
(36:28):
Yeah, huh, I know.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
Yeah, I can't wait to start using the phrase back in
my day.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
I know right Yep when life was simple.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
Life wasn't simpler.
There just was no videodocumentation.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
Yes, no social media to watch your every move.
Yep, that's right.
Okay, does anybody happen tohave a shot this evening?
Speaker 4 (37:03):
I don't have a shot.
Speaker 3 (37:04):
I started shrinking.
The second season of Shrinking.
Oh, I didn't know it was out.
I love it.
Yes, I think it's been.
Yes.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
Did it all come out together or is it doing episode
by episode?
Do you know?
Far, okay, it was just aquestion.
Yeah, I know, I can't wait.
How many episodes have youwatched?
Speaker 3 (37:35):
I just got through the first one and I laughed
hysterically.
Yeah, it really is funny.
So shrinking is on Apple TV andI laughed hysterically.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
Yeah, it really is funny.
So shrinking is on Apple TV, Ibelieve.
Yes, yes, yep.
So good, a good recommendation.
It's excellent yeah.
Speaker 4 (37:52):
I did start watching today.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
The original four seasons oh okay, okay.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
Did you watch the?
Speaker 4 (38:03):
new.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
Four Seasons?
Speaker 4 (38:05):
Not yet, so I wanted to watch the original first.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
Okay.
And then the new one, and thenthe new one.
Yeah, yes, very good.
Speaker 4 (38:14):
Excellent.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
How about our new segment, weird Stuff on the Web?
Anybody have a weird thing theysaw lately.
I I've got it.
Speaker 3 (38:26):
Actually this falls under both the cop, the topic of
conversation.
I don't.
I mean, I do get why, but Ifind it highly annoying.
So this also could go intoanother segment that we're
having coming up.
But people who stitch somebodyelse is real and all they do is
(38:49):
show themselves laughing aboutthe original one.
They don't say anything yeah,they're literally just.
