Ford has an exciting announcement today!

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I got a couple of Fox to News headlines today.

(00:02):
We'll start with this.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
The CEO of Ford is ready to unveil today what
he's calling the company's next Model Team Moment in Kentucky.
The announcement is expected to detail a breakthrough electric vehicle
and platform that Forward plans to design and build in
the US. When you say it's our Model Team moment,
that's a big deal, right. They made a ton of
model ts back.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
In the day.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
That's a really big deal. I would just wonder if
they want me involved.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
I think you should have some involvement.

Speaker 3 (00:29):
I mean, you know, now with the end of an
era and the Flex no longer being the fourth member
of this show, Ford might want to get in there somehow.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
It's a it is a sad story. I'd like to
get into that with you next. By the way, I
want to figure out exactly.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
What happened with the Flex.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
I know that is a story and you mentioned it,
but I want to believe it'll hurt. I want to
dive in. We'll all feel it in just a few
How about this studies show or a study show. Research
shows that many teens prefer texting or voice notes over
answering phone calls, which they see as an emotionally controlled
situation and less intrusive. So if you need to get

(01:10):
a hold of a teen in your life, your kid,
they liked the text over call.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
Well, I don't think it's just teenagers.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
I'm just gonna call me.

Speaker 3 (01:20):
Yeah, But I'm surprised it's teenagers like that would apply
to me or you, Like, we don't want to talk
on the phone. But when I was a teenager, like,
I get that we didn't necessarily have texting as an option,
But I wanted to talk to my boyfriend on the
phone every day for as long as I could, right,
I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
I told you the story.

Speaker 3 (01:40):
The hard the cruelest way to punish me was to
take the phone away. And the night my parents were
going out, Oh didn't they take it with them? No? Yeah,
And in my head I was like, oh my god,
I'm gonna get to talk on the phone.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
My mom took every phone out of the house.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
Wow, we only had three. She took all three phones,
she had them cradled in her arm. She's like, I
guess if there's a emergency, you should go to the neighbors.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
Did you go to the neighbor and say Hi, can
I borrow a phone?

Speaker 2 (02:03):
No?

Speaker 3 (02:03):
But it was so funny because she knew what I
was thinking. She was like, when I grounded you from
the phone, I meant it.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
And the kids don't.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
Want they don't know you don't even want to talk
to you. I mean, I guess you're talking to someone
through text.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
But Dave Colier told me a story yesterday that was funny.
He said that when when he had, you know, diagnosed
with cancer and all, and was going through chemo, John
Stamos came out to his house to hang out with him,
and when John Stamos got there.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
John Stamos got COVID.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
So he was sitting on the opposite end of the
room from Dave and they were facetiming each other.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
That's what essentially what teens do now, I mean they
do they talk to each other that way, not even FaceTime.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
They just text and they could be in the same
room with each other. That's right, that's true friendship.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
No Ikia is opening ten mini locations inside best Buy
stores in Florida and Texas.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
I don't know why.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
Every time I see a best Buy story, I keep thinking,
are there there's got to be less.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
Best Buy stores than there used to be, right, Yeah,
we have one, have one, Yeah we do. Maybe, I
just I don't know.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
I guess the whole lining up in front of best
Buy just went away over the years, right, But I
mean I always forget they're around. But anyway, if you
like some of the things from Ikea, they're hoping that
people will, you know, buy a refrigerator and then design
redesign the kitchen with Ikea stuff.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
When Ikia is like they're in the store, Well, I
think the most important question. Are the meatballs going to
be at every location? Because that's what people are going
to Ikea? That's the question. Oh God, I hope. So
that'd be great. Yeah you can buy those. By the way,
we should take a little trip out to Ikea one
of these times. That's near you. Yeah, we could go there.

Speaker 3 (03:34):
You remember what a big deal was when we got
that idea. Yeah, we were all freaking out.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Maybe we buy some new furniture for the studio, get
rid of these old clinical cabinets that we have. That's
a good idea.
