Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's time for stacks and hacks. I have stacks of information,
Rich has life hacks, Happy World book. Did you guys, Oh,
what was the last book you read? According to a
third of Americans, they ever read a book in the
last year.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
The last one I read was like a self help
book and I forget it had a curse word in
the title. But it was like one of those things
where it's like, get your stuff together.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Yeah, I have that book, you know.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
What I'm talking about. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I like, yeah,
it's a good one.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
I enjoyed it.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I laid out by the Polos about a year ago
in the summer I get back.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Yeah, a while ago too.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
It was the Britney Spears The Woman one. But yeah,
it's definitely audio books.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Really, you don't like just to open up a can't.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
Fall asleep like a minute after I start reading, or
I read a page and then I'm like, what did
I just read? And then I have to read it again.
So it takes me hours and hours just to go
by two pages.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
If you would have read something that's going to be
a big TV show, Fourth Wing, it's already in production
and it's like Hunger Games meets Game of Thrones. That's
all I need to tell you.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
It's awesome.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
That's what I'm reading right now.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
God, I'm trying to think of that.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
I know.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
I feel like I know it because I bought it,
my son read it, a friend of mine read it.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Okay, it's the subtle art of not giving, not giving.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Any Oh yeah, that's right, that's right.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
It's a good one. I really liked it.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Well, here's some excuses. People don't don't read books because
they have trouble focusing while reading. They don't have enough
time because my kids, I don't have enough time because
of work. I prefer other forms of entertainment. And the
number one is I don't have enough time because of
other life activities. Golfers who win the Masters get to
keep their green jacket for a year, then they have
to return it. It gets put in a closet and
(01:39):
they can wear it whenever they visit from that point on.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
My husband told me that they actually have like anyone
who's won the Masters has a secret locker room that
you're only allowed in if you've won.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
What.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Yeah, so that's like elite level. Yeah, that's cool.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Spring cleaning now includes managing your digital clutter. According to
a new survey, fifteen percent of people would rather wash
dishes than face their digital files. I totally get that.
I have all this clutter and I just don't want
to deal with it. I'm much other do dishes.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
So you'd rather do dishes than clean out your email?
Speaker 1 (02:10):
I would. I would. A list of common skills that
boomers are shocked that gen zers don't know include how
to read a map, how to address mail, and how
to unclog a toilet using a plunger.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
I still don't own a plung hard.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
It's hard to do.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
I felt like.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Writing a check would be on there. I don't know
how to write a check.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
It's on there.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
People on social media are so crazy about protein that
they're snacking on wedges of parmesan cheese. Experts say parmesan
parmesan cheese is a solid protein source but also has
a lot of fat and sodium. I love parmesan cheese.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
And there are videos online of people in Walmart freaking
out because there are anti theftlocks on meat. Some locations
have been doing it for a while. Yeah, funny, there's
a little a little sensor.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
I used to work at a grocery store, and that's
the thing to get stolen to. Most the steaks people
just put them down the front of their sweatpants and
just walk out, So it makes sense they lock them up.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
A study found skipping carbs just one day a week
can trigger fat burning like intermittent fasting. I just did this.
I was just on the news talking about the Kardashians
because Chloe dropped the new popcorn the Cloud. Yeah, it
looks just like the popcorn I eat every day yesterday
called Lesser Evil. Do you guys try to yet? It
is so good? Oh?
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Really?
Speaker 1 (03:20):
I feel that I haven't gone and looked at the ingredients.
I haven't looked at anything because I'm afraid that it's
like one time I got into this brand called skinny Cow,
Remember Skinny Cow, And I was eating ten of those
a day because they were like fat free, But it
turned out that ten is too much.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Yes, Chloe, I think also just announced she's working on
a new TV show like Calabasis, Behind the Gates, Behind
the Gates.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Rich, we we got for life hacks.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
There's a simple hack that makes your day go better,
and you got to do it every morning. I don't
think any of us in this room do it. Maybe ever,
But the military has been using this for they say,
a hundred years. Can you guess what the best thing
you can do to start your day's cold pludge? No,
it is not cold pludge. It's a lot. It's a
lot easier than that. Actually, get no, it's not even
(04:08):
taking a shower. It's making your bed, they say. If
it seems simple, but if you complete that task first thing,
as soon as you get up, it actually makes your
brain feel like you've accomplished something and your day will
go a lot better. Conversely, if you walk by your
bedroom and you see an unmade bed at like eleven
thirty in the morning, then you feel like a loser.
So the first thing you should do, Like in our case,
(04:29):
there's probably people still sleeping when we get up in
the morning, so we're kind of off the hook, except
for maybe on the weekends. But make your bed first
thing in the morning. See how it goes, See how
your day goes. Report back to us that life hacking.
