Speaker 1 (00:00):
I have an idea for the show today.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Is your use the iHeartRadio app and talk back to
us right now.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
It's John, Jay and Rich.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
I got a couple things I was gonna go over
with you guys, but I thought, why don't you guys
pick Kyle Payton Rich.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
I have a list of things like this is pretty good.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Made up societal roles that people think we should quit doing.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
That's really interesting.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
I need to see here an example.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Yeah, well there's not that many of them. So if
I give you an example, then it's we're almost done
with the bit.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
Oh just start that one.
Speaker 5 (00:32):
Then?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Have you ever thrown away food from a party or
a gathering that nobody would eat just because it was
the last piece and everyone was too polite to just
eat it or split it up. BuzzFeed has a new
list of made up rules that their readers think we
should just stop following. Which ones do you agree with
and which ones do you just seem whiny? For example,
they say we should stop blessing people when they sneeze.
(00:57):
Oh no, stop calling attention to them, especially in the
middle of meeting. Someone else added, why don't we bless farts?
I'd be on board with that.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Well, because you don't lose. Yeah, the whole morning, you
gotts be blessing me.
Speaker 5 (01:10):
You don't skip a heartbeat when you fart, but you
skip a heartbeat when you sneeze.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
I also think, like coughing, we could bless you with coughing.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Yeah, why not? Why not? Instead we just say are
you okay? If you're coughing? You can't really answer that
question right away.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Let's just start blessing you with all the bodily noises,
all the things.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
So you guys disagree with that, we disagree. Another one
is placing a napkin on your lap. Forget it. It
lands on the floor ninety nine out of one hundred times,
and this woman says, my boob, stop all the crumbs. Anyway,
I do that every time I put a napkin my
nap It does fall on the ground, but I always
do it.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Just how many times? If I just spilt something and
I'm glad the napkin caught it?
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
I think we got to keep the napkin in the
lap because the napkin on the table gets kind of gross,
especially when you wipe.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Things up with it.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Okay, Now, remember this is either you could agree or disagree,
but they're saying that these are rules that are kind
of stupid that we should throw them out. And this
next one I find somewhat controversial. I don't know I
feel about it. But modern times they say that that
we should just forget that it's unacceptable to data friends X.
Just because it didn't work out for them doesn't mean
it shouldn't work out for you.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
No.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
I have friends that were that uh married exes and
they're fantastic girl code, right, I know, but they're saying
throw that out.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
Yeah, no, girls, I don't want your used.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
To What about if you ask your friend you know?
Speaker 5 (02:22):
Okay, Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, when I
was in high school, this guy had asked me out
on a date, and he had gone on a date
with like one of my best friends now, and she
was like, go on a date, Like we had no chemistry,
But I was also like fifteen, me at twenty six
would never date one of my friends. People.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
I feel like it's kind of different if like you
hooked up because there was a guy that I dated
that like we kissed one time, yeah, like exap and
then he ended up like taking my friend out and
she called me and was like, how would you feel
about this? We feel like yeah, sentry, and I was
like go ahead, like luh, But I think if it
was like an ex boyfriend of mine, I would be pissed.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
Yeah, I'm with you, Kyle.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Another one, you can't eat in front of your friends
unless they're eating too. I've never I've never heard of
that one. I mean that it should be ex I
like this a lot, this one. I think it should
be acceptable to respectfully decline gifts. Why do I have
to pretend to like something, take it home and save
it to regift later.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
So you give a gift and be.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Like, you know, that's because that's just polite.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
I know everything auditor is polite. But they're saying we
got to stop these rules.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
I disagree.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
I disagree that women should be polite and considered ladylike.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Men are never held to these same standards. You need
to get rid of that.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
I think the men should be held to those standards.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
That's how we should switch it.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
We need to stop.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
We need to stop expecting people working in the food
service industry to always be happy.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
They say it's an exhausting, thankless and stressful job. It
doesn't pay enough.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Well, that's true, but also it's like you're in the service.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Industry and if you're expecting a good tip, part of
it is working to make sure it's a good experience.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
Yeah, And plus, like, if you're in a crabby mood
all the time, your experience has gotten to be a
crabby one. Like if you're positive and you go into
it with that, I bet you they wouldn't be so
upset on And if you're.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
In a bad mood, you're not gonna keep your job
very long because you're gonna get fired.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
So another one of these rules that people think we
should quit doing is respecting your elders. One person said,
some of the nastiest people ever met over seventy Good
job you survived to be a dinosaur.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
But respect is earned and not given.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
I actually, you know.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
What, I kind of feel that I absolutely am very
much respect your elders. But if you come up me disrespectful,
I might say something back to you, granny, my bad,
not sorry.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
I mean, like you'd like to take pictures. I don't
like to take pictures.
Speaker 5 (04:32):
Yeah, just like like don't like, don't be rude.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
The number one rule that people think we should stop
doing is the no double texting rule. Some people think
it's too much to send someone multiple texts in a row,
even if they think of something else after they've already
sent the one that's like the number one rule is
we need to stop doing it. I don't like to
send my wife more than one text at a time
until she responds, because she'll never see them. They just
keep going up and she reads looks at her phone
(04:56):
like once every three days. You know what I mean, text?
I thought they'll text. It was when you asked the
same thing over and over and over again. But that's
not what it is. Did you know that I did not.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
How do you feel when you keep texting somebody over
and over again?
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Right right, right right?
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I think some people just do that.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Rich does that definitely, because I was like, I always
wait to kind of respond because I know probably two
or three more texts are coming for him to finish
the thought. And some people do it that way, or
some people just like you know, like scroll down a
little bit and then start a different paragraph in the
same taxi. Either way, I think it's fine.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Well that's just a little thing.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
I can get to the other things at another time, Okay, okay,
all right, John Jay and Rich
I have an idea for the show today.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
