Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right. Vont is twenty four years old born in
two thousand and one. Yes, wow, So I'm going to
give you a list of things. You tell me your
best definition of what you think these things are. Okay, okay,
all right, here we go, Here we go. A rolodex.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Rolodex is I guess some type of like phone book
and you spin it.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
It's it's on your desk, right, yeah, exactly right?

Speaker 3 (00:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (00:20):
And how did you know that?

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Only ever seen it in movies, never seen one in person,
never used one.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
Okay, Commodore or more specifically, Commodore sixty four.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
The only the Commodore is I know the group the
Commodore's Yeah, they're the ones a thing because she's a
brick house. Yes, I have no clue. What a Commodore
or what did you say, Commodore Commodore sixty four? No clue,
Well you said sixty four.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
Is it a game? Anybody else know? I don't know.
Is it a is it like an eight track play
or something kind of thing? That's computer? Oh? Computer, it
was an early early home computer. Let's do an easier
one here. Rabbit ears, rabbit ears.

Speaker 4 (01:01):
Uh, rabbit e or I have no clue Bailey, it's
the antenna on top of your TV, so you can
like get the signal in and there's two of them.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
Yeah, so they look kind of like rabbit ears.

Speaker 5 (01:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:15):
You can actually get some of your basic cable channels,
so you're like WCCO and your care and stuff like that,
but you're not getting MTV with the rabbit ears.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
Now, okay, floppy disc.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
Floppy disc is like I guess right before they had
the CD, it was kind of like a hard drive, right,
or a flash drive.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
You put it in a computer yep, and you put
files and stuff on it. Yeah. Ay, I mean that's it. Yep.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
AOL that was like a like a MySpace, like a
website or an email distributor type thing.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
Do you know what it stands for? Automated? Yes? I
have no clue what the ONL stands for, Bailey, it's
America Online. Do you remember when you used to Yeah,
when you used to get the free discs by the
check out target, Yes, and you would take it home
and install it in your computer and then go on
I am instant Messenger on AIM. Yeah, aime a my life.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
Though you still have an AOL email address, don't you?

Speaker 1 (02:13):
Sure do it's like a classic car. Yeah, exactly. Walkman.
A walkman.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
A walkman is a I guess, the precursor to a
tape recorder.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
So you'd walk around. You could play cassettes on it. Yeah,
that's it.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
Sure, or radio yeah, because he's some radio. Sure yeah, walkman.
So it was like a handheld radio in essence. The
cool people would clip it to their pants. Oh yeah,
uh dial up? Want what is dial up? I've heard
people use the term.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
I'm going to assume it's it's the phone that go
you spin the thing and go.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
No, that's a rotary phone. Okay, yeah, then I guess though, Bailey,
dial up, Jenny, dial up? Go ahead, Jenny. Yeah, I
mean it's the Internet.

Speaker 6 (02:57):
It's how you had to connect to the internet back
in the day, and then it would take over your
phone line so you couldn't make phone calls if you
were connected to the.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Go ahead, Bailey, gonna do the sound. Please do your
impression of dial up connecting. You'll understand this. I hope
it goes sper bit.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
The most that I totally understand.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
Yeah, very true. Card catalog vant what's a card catalog?

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Going to take a guess it's Uh, it would be
next to your roll of decks, and it's like a
little case that you put business cards to, thatever you
can remember people's phone numbers.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
Is that what a card catalog is? Am I close? Yeah?
Am I close? Is he right, Jenny? I honestly don't
know the answer to that one.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
A card catalog, you know, honestly, I don't think I
know what a card catalog is either.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
I have what I think it is, but I don't
think that's what it is. It is actually in the library,
the big giant file cabinet, little tiny drawers, and you
would be like, hmmm, I'm looking for something on Dalmatians.
So you would pull out the deed and then you
would dig through until you found Dalmatian. Here's a book

(04:09):
by Joyce Smith about Dalmatians. It's located in this section.
Look for it.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
So it's like, you know, way predated Google because Google,
especially just the encyclopedia, but bigger and card catalog is
just a bigger version of an encyclopedia.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
Well not excitingly, there was no there was no information
in a card catalog led to the book. Yeah, gosh,
another one. Font You're doing fine, view Master. What is
a view Master. View Master that sounds familiar?

Speaker 2 (04:38):
Is that that thing kids used to play with them,
like you were kind of like binoculars, but you could
put different.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
And it was three dimensional.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
Uh huh, Yeah, I don't know what, like dragon Tails
or like just an old kids show where blues clues
and you can see different scenes.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
Bailey, look up and see if they still make a
view Master. I'll bet they do, really do You just
sounded so thrilled and you're like, oh, because he just
unlocked the memory. I forgot about the view Master.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
You like you thought you had struck gold if you
got a view Master for Christmas.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
I had one with a view with a bunch of
slides from Disneyland and so yeah, so I think I
bought it at Disneyland and you'd stick it in the
view Master and you would like it was in three
D and you'd hold it up the light. It was dope.
They still have them on Amazon.

Speaker 3 (05:22):
I think that the actual like view Master has been discontinued,
but you can find like all of these they're just
calling them real Viewer or if you find her, oh yeah,
knock offs, but they're everywhere.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
Yeah, gotcha, flesh Light No I'm kidding, all right, here
we go vaunt stirs the pot watch on your mind.
Places that parents shouldn't be taking their kids.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
And this I thought about this because yesterday somebody called
in and was questioning whether she should take her three
and a half year old to the Post Malone concert tonight.

Speaker 6 (05:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
New York City.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
Time Square specifically, I used to be in Time Square
all the time, and I'd see so many little kids.
Obviously pictures with the Times Square Elmo and the Cookie Monster,
and it's cute. But like Times Square, there's just too
much going on. Stop taking your kids there, that's one. Okay,
museums stop, Why are you taking your kids to a museum?
You're's not any museum one. Again, I feel like a

(06:16):
museum is a sophisticated type place for adults to enjoy.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
What is your kid gonna remember or do at a museum? Learning?
They're gonna remember learning at the museum. No kid has
ever said I remember learning? What it's ever said that
that's a Museum's my favorite field trip to go on?
Oh my gosh, museum though, science museum, Children's museum. That's cool. Well, yeah,
you go to the walker gift shops they got snow

(06:41):
cones here. Don't you want a child to appreciate art?
Not that child?

Speaker 3 (06:45):
What?

Speaker 1 (06:46):
No, Okay, keep going fine, you're wrong on that one though.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
These are places parents shouldn't take their kids the movie
theaters because they're just they don't understand the concept that
we have to sit down in one place, be quiet,
just watch this movie. Then, depending on how old your
kid is, I gotta go pee, I gotta go pooh,
wait this part of the movie, just wait until they
get older, is what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (07:08):
Well, okay, what's the age limit on this list that
you're creating here.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
I think it.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
Varies, but I just think generally I could say don't
take kids to these places.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
Every place could vary.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
Because obviously it depends on like if it's a kid movie, maybe,
but wait until your kid is older to go to
these places. Why is your kid five years old? Walk
through Times Square? Then you just gotta hold on to
them very very tightly. It just creates more anxiety for you.
Next place that parents shouldn't take their kids weddings, which
is I know a hot take because a lot of
people say, like, oh, well, if I can't bring my kid,
I'm not coming because I don't have any to do

(07:38):
any watch.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
Mocking voice is the most demeaning mocking voice ever, worse
than yours. Yes, no, no.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
I'm not gonna take my cat's technoto on the wadding
is a voice continue parents should have take their kids
to weddings Again, A wedding is just an intimate experience that, uh,
I don't feel like kids should be running around at.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
Don't a lot of Jenny wedding invitations saying please no children.
Some people offer that.

Speaker 6 (08:07):
Yes, they will say no, we love your kids, but
we don't want them at our wedding.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
It's basically what they'll say.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
Sometimes, Okay, I'm interested to know if anybody else has
anything they want to add to this list. These are
places that parents should not take kids.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
Fancy fancy restaurants, Oh yeah, because they mean if they're
going to be quiet, sit there and be polite. Yeah,
but if they're like annoyed and get up and run around,
then no.

Speaker 3 (08:28):
See. I think for some of these places it's the
opportunity to teach them how to.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
Act in those spaces.

Speaker 3 (08:34):
So, yeah, fancy restaurant, like a movie theater, like if
you're like, hey, this kid doesn't know how to act
in this space.

Speaker 1 (08:41):
Well, how are they ever going to learn how to
act in that space unless they're in that space eventually.
But well, I think the difference is You're right, they
need to learn how to act, But a lot of
parents take them there and don't teach them right act
and they'll love their kid get out. I've been to
many restaurants where the parents are sitting there having a
cocktail and eating their waffle fries with seasoned sour cream,
and the kids are running around in circles and the

(09:02):
parents are oblivious to the whole thing to bring them
and turn it into a teaching moment.

Speaker 7 (09:06):
Sit your ass down, sit down, shut up. I think
I stirred the pot. People are texting it in, people
are texting it. I love how people spell my name.
I know it's hard because you know how to say
v o. Nt is how you spell vont. When Vant
has his own kids, play this back for him and
see how he feels.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
If I'm gonna take my kids through Times Square at
such a young age though. It's just I'm not even
for their safety, just for my anxiety. I'd be like, oh,
this is a lot more text messages at five, three,
nine to one.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
Calm down, Vont, where do you leave your kid? Parents?

Speaker 2 (09:34):
Still have to live a life. Can't wait till Vont
has kids. Now the text vant is off his rock
or with this hot take today? Then here's one that
agrees totally on board with Vaunt as somebody without kids.
I don't want to go on an adult type thing
like a museum or a scary movie and then they're
screaming children. Somebody also said I mispronounced museum. How am
I supposed to say it should? But you said like museum, oh, museum.

(09:55):
I would also throw in like a resort or something,
just because I feel like adults should enjoy the resort
without having to worry about leaving the pool every ten
minutes because your kid has to pee.

Speaker 3 (10:03):
Here's can I add kind of a hot take to it?
So Disney World. I don't think like kids can't be
at disney World. Obviously it's made for them. But if
you become a slave to your child and you're pushing
them around in a stroller and they're crying the whole time,
then maybe they're too young to be at Disney World.
So I think like five and up is really good

(10:23):
age for Disney World. If they're two and you're just
carrying like, I don't know how much a two year
old weighs fifty pounds the whole that like the whole time, man,
that sucks for years old, I think, so okay, three
year old?

Speaker 1 (10:38):
Yeah, I guess I don't know. I just one more
and then we wrap this up.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
Places that parents shouldn't be taking their kids and a
lot of people are texting breweries and wineries.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
Yeah, why is your kid walking through? For running through
Forgotten Star. I definitely see them because the parents want
to be there for a beer. It's just not the
vibe for kids. There's there's bean bag toss. Now. I
will represent the people who want you to shut up. Von.
This text says, listen to this man child who doesn't
have children, talk about where children shouldn't be allowed. Please

(11:07):
do everybody a favorite shot up. But there's a lot
of people Vought who agree with you. I wish there
were more places where children weren't allowed at all. And
I think that's true. I knew I was gonna catch
hate for this. Well, you know what, That's why we
call it stir the pot Alli. You know what's funny
we're talking about dogs here, and it was just showing
the kids on the show here Jenny and Bailey, the

(11:29):
burn many burned doodles that I was thinking about getting.
Oh my god, we're big dog people on the show.
And if you listen to the if you listen to
the show, Alie, you know we're big dog people. You
are a big dog person. And you got a dilemma question,
what do you want to talk about?

Speaker 8 (11:46):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (11:46):
I do.

Speaker 10 (11:49):
So my brother found a dog last weekend and the
dog is very sweet, well grown, no caller, and he's
clearly had some training. And my brother didn't even want
to take the dog to the vet, but I told

(12:09):
him he has to.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
And because you got to do the microchip, then you
find a dog, then the dog will go to the
They put it a scanner. Yeah, I don't know what
it looks like, like like the TSA scanner security. Oh,
there's a chip and then they read it and they go, oh,
this dog belongs to Jill Smith of Cottage Grove. But
he did do that and no and no no chip.

Speaker 10 (12:33):
No no tip at all. So the vet was like,
you know, you need to call a shelter. And my
brother just wants to keep this dog. And I mean,
I think that's fine if nobody claims him. But the
dog's owners are going to be looking at the shelters interesting.

Speaker 3 (12:55):
So he thinks because there's no chip that, oh, well,
there's no chips, so this dog be mine.

Speaker 11 (13:00):
Now well, I.

Speaker 10 (13:03):
Mean I pushed him for the chips, but for the
most part his attitude has been very like finders keepers.
This puppy chows me.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
He chose me to come across the parently Yeah, yeah,
I know, we don't see it that way. You got
to figure with a well groomed, trained dog that's socialized,
this is a dog that just ran out of the
gate or the kids left the door open, and yeah,
keep a call to und your dog. But you know what,
then maybe he pulled out of a leash too. Yeah, you know, so.

Speaker 3 (13:33):
No wonder it's a finder's keeper situation. He's like, wow,
this dog chose me. Well, yeah, if he's socialized, he's
gonna like anybody. He's gonna walk up to anyone and
be like, well, person, So.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
You're thinking about an evil move. What is your evil move?

Speaker 10 (13:49):
Yeah, so clearly this puppy belongs to somebody and is
loved by somebody, So I'm like, okay, should I just
like dog nap him, take him to a shelter myself?

Speaker 1 (14:01):
Yes, your brother's going to be piest though.

Speaker 10 (14:07):
We live together, so yes, it would be easy for
me to do that. But also I live with my brother,
so you have.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
To deal with the consequences like immediately there. It's not
like you live in separate places and if he calls,
you could just ignore the phone call.

Speaker 6 (14:22):
Right here is my thought on it as someone who
loves dogs so much. If there really is an owner
out there who is missing this puppy, it is like
it's been the worst handful of days of their life
trying to figure out where this dog is. And the
first thing you do is you go to a shelter.
You call around, you put up signs, you share things
on social media and stuff. So I just feel like,

(14:43):
if there is an owner out there, you could probably
bring them to a shelter and then the owner will
come claim them or they won't, and then you could
check back in in a few weeks.

Speaker 1 (14:52):
Yeah, I mean would you can even probably just notify
the shelter and then probably you could keep the dog
for a couple of days. Until they either do or
do not here because think about it, losing your dog.
It's like, are they okay? I mean I if Josie
would have gotten out, she was gone. I mean for
a few days, I'd be like what right, Oh my gosh.
Where I would be up at night worrying about her. Yeah,

(15:14):
driving around the neighborhood, putting up posters things like that
you see this once in a while, so be like
lost yellow lab.

Speaker 3 (15:19):
Yeah, and there's I know that there's like Facebook groups too,
because I'm in one called Lost Dogs Minnesota, and you
it's essentially like putting up posters like have you.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
Seen this dog?

Speaker 3 (15:29):
But it's on Facebook so people can just like go
see if they or if they post like I've found
a dog, and then they can also say I've lost
a dog.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
So I feel like.

Speaker 3 (15:37):
That's another step that your brother's kind of hopping over
a little bit because he wants to keep this dog.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
Somebody texted exactly.

Speaker 10 (15:46):
It is all of these are wonderful suggestions, but he's
not trying to allow this dog to get found.

Speaker 1 (15:53):
M hmm. He wants that dog. He's he's kind of
a doughhead. I'm sorry that I'm gonna guess you do
most of the work around the house. You put the
dishes in the dishwasher, you do the shopping, and you
clean the toilet. Am I right about all that?

Speaker 10 (16:07):
I would say I'm an essential worker?

Speaker 1 (16:09):
Okay, all right, we have people on the phone who
have thoughts for you. If you just tune the raid
to turn the radio on. Thank you, Welcome. We're talking
to a woman whose brother found a dog, no microchip,
no collar, dog is groomed, the dog is friendly, socialized,
and he's like, it's my dog. And she's like, no,
you take that dog to the vet. No microchip, Okay,

(16:30):
So he brings the dog home. I'm surprised the vet
didn't intervene and say you got to do something. Brie,
What did you want to say about the whole mess?

Speaker 4 (16:37):
Hi?

Speaker 5 (16:37):
I was just going to say that there are laws
in the state of Minnesota and elsewhere that require him
that he has to post this dog as bound and
hold him for a minimum amount of days before being
able to claim ownership over the dogs.

Speaker 8 (16:50):
Law.

Speaker 1 (16:51):
That makes sense, But how enforceable is that, you know?
I mean unless she turns him in, well.

Speaker 3 (16:56):
Unless they find out, like if the owners find out
exactly but it's not like he stole the dog on a.

Speaker 5 (17:02):
Court, et cetera. So yes, it's not likely, but it
also is just not the right thing to do.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
It's not the right thing to do because dogs mean
so much. I mean, if you got a dog that
whether it's a new dog or you got a fourteen
year old dog, that dog is your buddy. That dog
is like I don't want to say child, because I
don't like when people say that dog is like my child. Now,
a child is way different than a dog. Trust me,
I've got four kids. I would much rather have Josie

(17:27):
go missing than Alison go missing. You know that would
really stress me out. Thank you, Brie. Let's go to Katie.
She was thinking about taking what she was thinking about
kidnapping the dog, taking the dog to the shelter and
get forgiveness from her brother. What do you think I think?

Speaker 9 (17:44):
I would post on like next door app and Facebook
and all those log dog sites and see if anybody's
missing the dog. Not necessarily take it to a shelter
if you're worried about it sitting in a kennel or something,
but post pictures and see if anybody missing the dog
before you just claim as your own. See if anybody
has posted pictures or anything, see if anybody claimed the

(18:05):
dog before you just you know, throw it a shelter
or claim it as your own.

Speaker 1 (18:09):
Okay. I think that's again it's the right thing to do.
You had to do something instead of just think of
excuses why you don't have to like, well, that dog
found me, Yeah, that's my dog.

Speaker 3 (18:19):
I think what Ellen needs to do instead of dog
napping this dog and bringing it to a shelter is
post on like the lost Dog facebook page and the
next door app and any kind of like lost peg
registries that you can pictures of this dog so that
then they can be found, but your brother can still
like take care of it while you wait.

Speaker 1 (18:38):
I wonder if there's anybody listening who found their dog?
And how did you find your dog? Because dogs get
out all the time. Yeah, how did you find your dog?
Did you call the Humane Society and they're like, oh, yeah,
we got them, or did you go on the next
door app? Or what did you do? Because I'd love
to know how people actually find their dog. Hey, and
you lost your dog, what was your story, Amanda?

Speaker 8 (19:00):
Yeah, my dog was four months he got startled. He
slipped out of his collar, ran away. He was not
microchip yet because he was four months yep, And we
searched high and low. We contacted the Minnesota Lost Dogs,
We worked with all of the shelters and Minneapolis Animal Control. Finally,

(19:22):
five days later we found him. He had a dead
rabbit in his mouth, hiding behind a thistle bush at
US Bank Stadium.

Speaker 1 (19:32):
Oh my god, the world did he get the US
Bank Stadium? And also what kind of dog is this?

Speaker 8 (19:37):
He is a pitbull and he we contacted animal control
and we were essentially relentless. We called every single day,
We followed up on every single tip. We literally did
not stop. We had a community of people kind of
rallied behind us. They did an excellent job of sharing

(19:57):
our posters, et cetera, et cetera. So we were just
kind of like never giving up to find our dogs.
But it was horrendous the five days that.

Speaker 1 (20:06):
He was gone. Yeah, because it's like it's like your buddy,
you know, that's your little.

Speaker 3 (20:10):
Pal, especially finding him at US Bank Stadium, Like, think
about how many busy streets you have to cross.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
Love sports though, so the big Vikings fan, Yeah, it's true.
Failing was that the text message our dog was lost
for two weeks. Somebody had picked her up and sold
her at a garage sale. What an elderly couple bought
her and renamed her and everything we had signs up.
We looked everywhere, we posted on lost dogs. We ended
up hearing some lady was bringing it to her VFW
and somebody recognized this dog from our posters. We had

(20:40):
to get the cops to go to our house take
the dog back. We were out of our minds for
two weeks.

Speaker 3 (20:44):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (20:45):
Wow, I think the thing is, you know what. I
think you got a compel your brother with the idea
that he's breaking the law and if they find the
dog at your house that there's going to be charges.
I don't know what they are, but I was a
hard jail time ten to fifteen years whoa hard jail
hard jail time. Hey we get a run, Ellie. I

(21:06):
hope you do. You want to do the right thing,
and I think it'll all work out. I think you
know what to do. You just need to. It sounds
like the kind of brother that you've got to follow
around and pick up his messes most of the sky. Kelly,
good luck, Thank.

Speaker 2 (21:17):
You, everybody, lies on the resume, like one thousand percent.
Whether it's a little white lie or just something grandiose.

Speaker 12 (21:25):
Everyone lies on the resume. You're a liar if you don't, Dave,
I've never had to I'll be honest with you. My
career is a list of accomplishment after accomplishment. I've never
had a lie, never had to lie on a resume.

Speaker 1 (21:39):
As a proud graduate Pike's Peak Community College, the Harvard
of the Rockies, and then I get a job, and
I get another job. I never had to lie about it.
I was I didn't lie that I was an Eagle
Scout because I wasn't an I didn't put that on there.
I didn't put I just said, you know, have.

Speaker 6 (21:55):
You even ever had to have a physical paper resume?
Because you work in radio, so you so you have
to somehow show your radio voice. So a lot of
radio jobs they don't even care about your resume.

Speaker 1 (22:05):
They want to know where you work. They want to
know that you've had some experience and you know what
you're doing, and you've had some success or whatever. So
but I mean, okay, so I've never had to lie
on my resume because I'm an exemplary person.

Speaker 3 (22:15):
Oh please, What when was the last time you updated
your resume?

Speaker 1 (22:20):
Well, I don't I don't think I've sent a resume
in a very long time. Was it when Nixon was
in office? I think Nixon? I think it was probably
when I moved here.

Speaker 2 (22:34):
I saw this guy that I went to school with
on LinkedIn, and he just lied about all these jobs
and stuff he did, like he said he was like
the program assistant at our radio station, which would have
meant he was my assistant.

Speaker 1 (22:45):
Not true. But then I sat.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
Back and I was like, you know what, sometimes you
got to hustle and do what you gotta do to
get a job, whether it's like I said, lying about
a position or something as small as your GPA.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
Because we's going to check your GPA. Who's going to
fact check that?

Speaker 6 (22:58):
I feel like you do get that checked, and you're
in kind of like entry level jobs, and you definitely
have to check that for jobs.

Speaker 1 (23:04):
Like engineering and hangs like that.

Speaker 6 (23:06):
You do have to have a high GPA for certain
kinds of jobs.

Speaker 1 (23:10):
Did you lie on your resume when you got an
iHeartRadio job.

Speaker 2 (23:14):
About maybe something small, like about like I'm proficient at
Microsoft XL maybe something like that, Because people love seeing
stuff like that little buzzworries.

Speaker 1 (23:21):
Okay, but something you do.

Speaker 2 (23:22):
At a job or your GPA or some people lie
about degrees because who's going to go and check it?

Speaker 1 (23:27):
But sometimes they do. I mean, you're right, you're right.
Who's I could say I've got a law degree from
William Mitchell and they'd be like, oh damn, I didn't
know Dave had a law degree. That's pretty cool. When'd
you graduate ninety six? So people would be like, they
believe it? Did you lie on your resume?

Speaker 13 (23:42):
Bailey?

Speaker 3 (23:43):
No, like for positions and everything. No, everything is exactly
what it's meant to say. It's all of the positions
I've had, all of the work I've done. The only
thing that it's not that I've lied, I just don't
include it is the date.

Speaker 1 (23:55):
For my master's degree.

Speaker 3 (23:57):
Because full transparency, I have half of a master's degree.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
And this was when I worked for Disney.

Speaker 3 (24:02):
They were funding it, and then they closed all of
the Disney stores and took away my funding and they
were like, Okay, you can finish your master's for thirteen
thousand dollars, and I said.

Speaker 1 (24:11):
No, this was meant to be free.

Speaker 3 (24:13):
And so I never finished my master's program, but I
still want it on my resume because I how.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
Do you word it? So I just have a master's degree, right,
because that doesn't sound good. It just I say that
I have MFA and.

Speaker 3 (24:26):
Arts and Cultural management and that when it says for education,
like when I graduated, I just say present as in
like I'm still working on it, even though I'm.

Speaker 1 (24:34):
Not a little misleading, but.

Speaker 10 (24:36):
I have.

Speaker 3 (24:38):
You how else are you supposed to write that, right?
Other than like, yeah, I'm still working on it. I mean,
it'd be great if I got funding for it.

Speaker 1 (24:45):
Did you lie in your resume?

Speaker 6 (24:46):
I'm looking at mine and I actually apparently have updated
it in the last year.

Speaker 1 (24:50):
I don't know why, but there.

Speaker 6 (24:52):
I do feel like I am exaggerated in a sense
because I did put that I am a guest in
arena host for the Minnesota Timberwolves, which is a little
bit of a lie because I did audition to be
the in arena host last season and then they did.

Speaker 1 (25:06):
Have me guest hosts once. So that's what I'm saying.
But to be fair, I still did do that.

Speaker 6 (25:12):
I just think it makes me seem a little bit
cooler than what I am and have more experience misleading.

Speaker 2 (25:18):
But it's not an outright line lie. No, But both
of those are great examples, even if it's not a
straight up lie because people are texting. I would never lie.
Sometimes you just stretch the truth a little bit. You
just exaggerate to make yourself seem more applicable for the job.

Speaker 1 (25:32):
I wonder. I wonder how carefully HR and hiring people
check on the back It probably depends on where you work.
And I guess if you are at Medtronic, they do
a deep dive on your background to make sure you
really did go to you know, the U of M. Yeah,
and you really did graduate and you really did get

(25:52):
this certain GPA. Somebody says via text as HR, we
do a full background check, so please don't lie.

Speaker 3 (25:59):
But what's on your background check? Like, that's what I'd
actually love to know. What's on a background check, because
I just thought of your question. If you get like
a parking ticket that shows up on your background check.

Speaker 2 (26:08):
Yeah, it's not going to say like, wasn't the manager
at bubble Gumps was.

Speaker 1 (26:13):
Just like a regular employee. It's not going to say that.

Speaker 2 (26:15):
So I could say I owned bubble Gumps for all,
you know, now I wouldn't. But LinkedIn that's another place
it's very easy to lie. Not encouraging it, but LinkedIn
you can pretty much say you did anything. I guess,
I mean, you can, and why would you not believe it?
But I would if I ever hired anybody and I
found out let's say that I heared Bailey and Bailey said, yeah,
she got a master's degree or whatever, I would suspect

(26:36):
that everything Bailey has told me is a lie, and
I would and I would just not trust that person,
you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (26:43):
I don't know. Bob Bought says that everybody lies on
the resume. Happy birthday, Happy twelfth birthday to Sullivan. Somebody
who's been asking over and over for that birthday shout out,
So if you're better get it in. Maybe it's urgent,
So happy birthday, Sullivan. I like this.

Speaker 6 (26:57):
Texas says jobs do the same thing on job posting.

Speaker 1 (27:00):
They lie, and what do they lie about?

Speaker 6 (27:02):
They probably lie about what your responsibilities are going to be.
They say like, this is what your responsibility is, and
then you come in and you have twenty more responsibilities
than what you're expecting. Yes, or you end up doing
I don't know the manager's job.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
We've got to fake name Natalie on the phone. Okay,
he has a claim in response to me saying everybody
lies on their resumes. Okay, let's see what Natalie has
to say. Natalie, what's up? What do you want to
say about lying on your resume?

Speaker 14 (27:27):
So I have a lie on my resme per se.
I have changed titles to reflect what I've actually done,
which I think is appropriate. But I have light about
every interview about what I've actually made in order to
be paid fairly as a woman.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
Oh you're smart. Ooh did it turn out good for you?

Speaker 14 (27:46):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (27:48):
How much did you? What did you?

Speaker 3 (27:49):
What?

Speaker 1 (27:49):
Did you lie? Can you be specific?

Speaker 14 (27:52):
I've always bumped it up about twenty grands because if
a man was in my role, about what he would
be making. And so I'm paid very well now due
to the power that I've progressively given myself twenty thousand
dollars raises every job change.

Speaker 1 (28:06):
What do you do.

Speaker 14 (28:08):
I can't share?

Speaker 1 (28:10):
Yeah? Okay, so you when you do what you're talking
about your salary history, you lie about your salary history
so you'll get paid better. Yeah, okay, gotcha. See, i
I've never I've just wanted the job. I've never like,
you know, like worried too much about salary. I just

(28:30):
wanted the job.

Speaker 6 (28:32):
So all some people don't get paid as good of
a wage, though, so they have to lie to try
to get the wage that they deserve.

Speaker 1 (28:38):
I guess, So, all right, does everybody lie on their resume?
This is said Tex says, I am hr and I've
lied on my resume. Some indent entities don't check the cost.
The cost way too much for every applicant, so they
can't check on every single one of them. What driving
issues only flag for sales or positions, definitely don't lie.

(29:01):
Corporate companies check work history, education, but can't check pay anymore.
It's illegal. Oh so if you lie and say yeah,
I make one hundred and twenty eight thousand dollars here
at KATWB, they can't go and check yeah.

Speaker 6 (29:14):
I think that that's something actually easy that has been
changed in the last handful of years, because I mean,
we all have contracts here.

Speaker 1 (29:21):
That's like how radio works.

Speaker 6 (29:22):
You have a contract, So I think that that verbage
has changed in our contracts.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
We had one more phone call th we got to
move on to Dave Sturt and then we've got War
of the Roses. You're going to talk about War of
the Roses when you get into work today, or you're
gonna call your sister and say, oh my god, did
you hear today's War of the Roses? You're gonna love
it's coming up on KTWB. Wrap it up. Last phone
call on this one. We've got Kelly. Kelly, you work
in HR. What about lying on your resume? What do

(29:47):
you want to share?

Speaker 11 (29:49):
Mostly like, do not lie on your resume when it
comes to things like degrees and job titles, and then
you can trust the truth on like your responsibilities.

Speaker 14 (29:59):
So we do acts those things.

Speaker 11 (30:01):
And I've I've had to pull employment offers because people
have lied on their resumes.

Speaker 1 (30:05):
What did they lie about that got it pulled?

Speaker 11 (30:09):
Just like their position title where they would say that
they've been a manager for you know, five years, and
we pulled employment records and say we're only a manager
for a year.

Speaker 1 (30:23):
Uh really okay, And.

Speaker 11 (30:25):
So they're not qualified to at least with our job posting,
they weren't qualified to.

Speaker 5 (30:31):
Be in that position.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
And I think that's the main thing. You could lie
about your GPA. You can lie about the school or
whether you graduated. But you can't lie about whether you're
qualified because they're going to find out pretty quickly that
you're not qualified. So I'll give you one more tip
about like resumes and references. Never give a reference to
somebody that you really don't believe in. Because somebody got

(30:52):
a job on my show, and I'm not going to
say who, you could probably guess because they came with
a great recommendation. When this person got hired two weeks in,
I knew that they were not good for this job
because the person that recommended them lied about how wonderful
they were.

Speaker 3 (31:10):
I once had somebody call me for a recommendation for
someone that I worked with on the speech team who
was a coach, and they were like, hey, you know
this guy right, And I was like, yeah, oh, we're
he's he put in your name for putting as a reference.
And I was like, why he did, because like he
weren't he like coached for me for like one year.
And I was honest, honest to this person. I was like, well,

(31:31):
I guess like he did his job. I wouldn't necessarily
say it was like sparkling. I don't understand why he
put my name down. He never told me, and so
I don't know if he got that job, but I
feel like I had to be honest. He was kind
of dishonest when he put me down. Is like, oh,
this woman will put in a sparkling review for me.

Speaker 1 (31:48):
Good for you, daily daily breaking news.

Speaker 3 (31:58):
Yesterday, Kermit the Frog delivered the commencement speech at the
University of Maryland. That's right, Kermit d Frog, and I
would like to play a clip vont hit it.

Speaker 13 (32:10):
It's important to stay connected to your loved ones, stay
connected to your friends, and most of all, stay connected
to your dreams, no matter how big, no matter how
impossible a seen. The truth is, dreams are how we
figure out where we want to go, and life is

(32:30):
how we get there. Because life's like a movie. Write
your own ending, keep believing, keep pretending you've all done
just what you set out to do.

Speaker 1 (32:45):
I loved it.

Speaker 3 (32:46):
I watched the entire thing when I was getting ready
this morning. I think it's funny because his cadence is
a little bit like Obama.

Speaker 1 (32:56):
I love Miss Piggy.

Speaker 3 (32:57):
Yes, but as Kermit the Frog. So there's a reason
that he spoke. So the Muppets creator Jim Henson, he
graduated from the University of Maryland in nineteen sixty And
here's some fun facts. He was a home economics major
and he took a puppetry class his freshman year and
then fashioned Kermit the Frog in that class from one
of his mother's coats and a ping pong ball cut

(33:20):
in half for eyeballs.

Speaker 1 (33:21):
I love that. As a kid, I knew those were
cut in half bad. Yes.

Speaker 13 (33:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:25):
And there's coat from his mom's coat. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (33:28):
And there's a Brown's statue of Jim Henson and Kermit
sitting on a bench at the University of Maryland in
College Park.

Speaker 1 (33:35):
I've been there. I've sat on that bench. It's very exciting.

Speaker 3 (33:38):
And I really liked his little like closing statement because
it was a long I mean, the commencement speech is long.

Speaker 1 (33:43):
It was like fifteen minutes long. But he closes he.

Speaker 3 (33:45):
Says, as you prepare to take this big leap into
real life, here's a little advice. If you're willing to
listen to a frog, rather than jumping over someone to
get what you want, consider reaching out your hand and
taking the leap side by side, because life is better
when we leap together.

Speaker 1 (34:02):
Kermit the Frog, ladies so cute.

Speaker 5 (34:05):
I love him.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
Okay, that's the dayly like, thank you guys. Yeah, I
appreciate that
