Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now, Jane Rich, it's time for stacks and hacks. I
have stax of information and Rich has life hacks. American
office workers estimate that fifty one percent of their day
goes to busy work like copying and pasting and writing
emails and searching for files.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Fifty one percent of your day. That's terrible. I know
that is a lot.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
A study found that bumper stickers political bumper stickers make
you a road rage magnet. We're much more likely to
honk in people to have a bumper sticker supporting views
or politicians we don't like.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
That's true.

Speaker 3 (00:38):
Yeah, I can't see that.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
But also you do that. I think you're asking for
it too. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. You're just making
yourself a magnet. I saw this all over the news yesterday.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
A city in Pittsburgh or Pittsburgh, downtown Pittsburgh. They put
up a Christmas tree two months before the holidays.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Wow, two months for Halloween. That is a crime. Why
they interviewed a kid, and the kid's going viral because
he goes. I wish they would have waited for Halloween.

Speaker 3 (00:59):
Oh.

Speaker 4 (01:00):
I do like it though, like when businesses keep up
their Christmas tree year round and they decorate it for
all of the holidays, So like a Valentine's Day tree
or Fourth of July tree. I think that's kind of cool.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
Halloween tree would be dope. Halloween trees should just freak
candy on it.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
This is the local news talking to this kid.

Speaker 5 (01:15):
I really say it because we're gonna ice skate on
me and my failure gonna ice skate on the tree.
But I gotta say they should have waited for Halloween first.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
New York Post says there's a new trend of gen
Z called hub sons. Hub sons, which are adult sons
who live at home and take on a bunch of
the chores. I have one of those. My son, Jake
is at home, okay. In fact, I told him, yes,
she's twenty two years old. I told him yesterday he
was playing video games. He'd just taken off the trash.

(01:49):
We just had dinner together, and I just went out
of my way to say, I can't tell you how
much I love having you here, because I do, because
normally he would just be in his dorm room playing
video games.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
Instead, he's home, he's having dinner with us, he's doing
stuff and he's also looking for a job.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
He's a hupsun, a French TikToker who pranked a bunch
of people the streets in Paris. Is been sentenced to
six months in prison his joke pretending to inject people
with surregs.

Speaker 4 (02:13):
That I saw that and I was like, dude, Like,
come on, how stupid can we be?

Speaker 1 (02:20):
The most dangerous cities for cyclists and pedestrians in the
United States?

Speaker 3 (02:26):
It could be my first guest, multiple people there.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
Yeah, Baton Rouge, Louisiana and Tucson, Arizona.

Speaker 4 (02:35):
Really I feel like though, like in Arizona, it's hard
when you have bike riders because I feel like nobody's
ever really outside walking, so I don't really naturally so.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
You hit them, I know.

Speaker 4 (02:47):
But let you guys get what I'm saying. Though obviously
you always double check, but like you don't really expect
them as much as you would in a city where
there's a ton of bike riders.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
And for those of us in here who like to
read books, the most common sentence in the Harry Potter
books is nothing happened. The most common sentence in the
Twilight books is I sidhe.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
O life hacks Well, I really hope nobody ever has
to use this life hack, but if you do, you
heard it here and hopefully it will save your life.
It's the hack to what to do if you're kidnapped,
because if you're ever kidnapped, they say the most likely
thing that's gonna happen is they're going to bind your
hands together and tape your mouth shut. So the hack
is continually lick the tape because that will eventually make

(03:33):
the glue on the tape fall off and you can
yell for help. So that's the first thing you're supposed
to do because they say that's easier than getting your
hands out of zip ties or knots or whatever. So
I hope you don't have to use that, but if
you get kidnapped, that life hack is available for you
