Speaker 1 (00:00):
Time for stacks and hacks. I have stacks of information
and Rich has life hacks.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
I know we talked a lot about a few times
about Dick Van Dyke turing one hundred years old.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Yeah, wow, you know I was.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
I was interviewing my friend Lolo from Lolos Chicken and
Waffles the other day. His grandmother's is still alive and
she's one hundred and two. His grandmother's sister is still
alive and healthy and she's one hundred and eleven. One
hundred and eleven.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Get still moving around and moving around and totally normal.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Yeah, having a good life at one hundred eleven. But
I say this, he was Dick Van Dyke in his lifetime.
He's been alive so long. He was alive to see
Babe Ruth hit four hundred and five home runs Babe
Ruth a.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
Long time ago. I feel like that's like you see
it in Black and White booked.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
There is a naked Christmas tree trend going viral on
social media, which is exactly what it sounds like. And
I bring this up because I know Kyle's. First time
I ever heard of it was from Kyle. How's that going?
Speaker 3 (00:54):
I like my naked tree christ.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Tree without any ornaments, decorations, and sometimes even without lights.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
It's big with celebrities right now.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Oh really hmm, oh, we do have lights on ours though.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Today is chocolate covered anything day, and America's favorite thing
to cover in chocolate is bacon, then bananas, then cherry's grapes,
pickles and insects.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Strawberries not on that list.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
WA's pickles on there. That's a crime of gross.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
The last thing you see when you go to bed
and the first thing you see when you wake up
is most likely, according to survey your phone, there's a
rise of something called vibe dating.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Do you guys know what vibe dating is? Vibe?
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Young people are growing tired of online dating checklists and
are now returning to good old fashioned chemistry, just chemistry.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
I just had somebody that was single on a plane
next to me said that she prefers blind dates because
she said, if you look at somebody's Instagram, you probably
like tear them apart and not feel the vibe off them.
But if you meet him in person for the first time,
then you could get past all that superficial stuff and
figure out if there's a real connection.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Makes sense, word for Miley Cyrus.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
A Washington, DC family says the more than one hundred
packages which were intended for a local hotel have been
delivered to their home over the past six months. This
is the homeowner, Brittany, talking about what's been happening.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
The past six plus months. We've been getting at least
over one hundred packages, I would say, and we've received
everything from cat food to vitamin supplements to even a chainsaw.
For more than half the year, I've been receiving Amazon
packages meant for hotel guests at the Arlow Hotel. They
(02:31):
are inadvertently clicking on our address, which shows up first. Unfortunately,
it's been a lot of late nights, like after eight pm,
where folks are coming and knocking on our door, which
is pretty tough when you have a kid that's frustrated.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Yeah, anybody here having rumba? Yeah you do? Do you
love it?
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Uh? Our rumba has not run for about a year.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Guess what they just filed bankruptcy? Oh really?
Speaker 5 (02:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Right?
Speaker 1 (02:57):
God, So they're not going to take over.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
I thought they were going to be the first round
of the Robots taken over.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
I know, you know those movies where they take the
rags soaked with chloroform and they put it over their
nose and then the person they put them to prison
goes past that. I guess they did a bunch of
research on this stuff. It takes five minutes for you
to pass that A.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Long time, kind of like on like Ace Matruro when
he's getting the guy that's running, he's to like it
takes him a really long time.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
On that one, Well, I don't remember that scene.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
He's like he's trying to check ring super Bowl rings,
uh huh, And he's like there's a football player and
he's on the track and he's running after him, and
he does the chloroform thing or whatever, but like the
guys still running with him.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
I guess in the movies it takes two seconds, but
in real life it would take five minutes of doing that,
of holding the chloroform for them to breathe.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
What do you have for life? Hacks Rich?
Speaker 4 (03:44):
All right, here's a wild one that I just figured out,
or not figured out, but learned about yesterday. What age
is you faster than bad? Eating, drinking, drugs, skipping workouts,
are almost anything else?
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Smoking, chronic stress? That makes sense.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
It's so, how do you start destressing today.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
It sounds silly, but it works.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Slow everything down on purpose for oneman, especially if you're
stressed out over the holidays. The experts say, walk slower,
too slower, lower your shoulders, unclench your jaw, take three
slow breaths like you're trying to fog a mirror. Your
nervous system takes that hint and goes, oh, okay, we're
safe now, don't We don't need.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
A SPA day.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
You just need to stop moving like you're late all
the time when you're not. Try to get out of
your stress this next season or this holiday season, and
you will look younger.
